"Membership has included H&M, Gap Inc., Nike, adidas, Puma, Patagonia, Mountain Equipment Co-op (MEC), Levi's, Hanesbrand, Marks & Spencer, Esprit, Columbia, Timberland and Loomstate.",
"It seeks to lead the industry toward a shared vision of sustainability built upon a common metric for measuring sustainability performance called The Higg Index.",
"Today, the Higg Index reports 24,000 users.The SAC has faced criticism and changes in recent years, especially in regards to the Higg Index.",
"Amid the pandemic, in 2020, the nonprofit developed a new strategic plan titled \"Evolution for Impact,\" which outlines three strategic pillars: combat climate change, decent work for all, and a nature-positive future."
],
[
"History",
"Outdoor brand Patagonia and retailer Walmart created the SAC in 2009 to find a unified way to measure sustainability performance in the industry.",
"Adventurer and businessman Rick Ridgeway cofounded the SAC while working with Patagonia.",
"The Higg Index includes the Higg Facility Environmental Module (FEM), Higg Facility Social & Labor Module (FSLM), Higg Brand & Retail Module (BRM), Higg Materials Sustainability Index (MSI), and Higg Product Module (PM).In recent years, the SAC has evolved solely from its tools to programs like the 2030 Decarbonization Program or Manufacturer Climate Action Program (MCAP) to help the industry decarbonize.",
"The programs align with a 45-percent emissions reduction pathway by 2030 to take charge of the industry's sizable contribution to climate change.The first version of the Higg Index was published in 2012, but the organization continues to make tool updates.In June 2022, the Norwegian Consumer Authority (NCA) notified SAC that its transparency program was potentially \"misleading\" to consumers.",
"The Higg MSI tools were also challenged for allegedly promoting use of synthetics.",
"In response to the NCA inquiry, the SAC paused its consumer-labeling pilot and increased engagement with consumer groups.",
"The organization also announced it would expedite an independent review of its tools.",
"In December 2023, the SAC's then chief executive officer Amina Razvi left the organization after several years, citing a mutual decision with the board.The nonprofit is influential in apparel, counting a number of spinoff organizations including technology partner Worldly (formerly Higg Co.), Apparel Impact Institute (Aii), and Social & Labor Convergence Project (SLCP).",
"SAC and SLCP helped create The Converged Assessment Framework (CAF), a tool for measuring working conditions in facilities.The SAC is also a founding member of the \"apparel alliance,\" alongside Textile Exchange, Apparel Impact Institute (Aii), and Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals (ZDHC).",
"With the Global Fashion Agenda (GFA) and the Federation of European Sporting Goods, the SAC co-founded the Policy Hub in 2020 to propose sustainability policies.",
"Policy Hub openly advocates for the Product Environmental Footprint (PEF)."

"Town of Seattle Ordinance No. 5"
],
[
"Introduction",
"Shortly after the settlement's first incorporation in 1865, the Board of Trustees of the Town of Seattle, Washington Territory, passed '''Ordinance No.",
"5''', subtitled '''An Ordinance for the Removal of Indians''', expelling all Native Americans from residence in the town unless employed and housed by a white settler.",
"Instituted on February 7, 1865, the ordinance banned all Native Americans from living within the town limits of Seattle unless employed by a settler and housed immediately adjacent to their employer.While the law was enforced by the Town Marshal, it was ultimately unsuccessful at driving the Duwamish from Seattle.",
"Many moved to settlements immediately outside the town limits.",
"The ordinance was ultimately rendered void following the disincorporation of Seattle by petition in January 1867.It was not reinstated when Seattle reincorporated as a city in 1869, although other anti-indigenous legislation continued."
],
[
"Background",
"Previously part of the disputed and largely unsettled Oregon Country, territory inhabited by the Duwamish people fell under direct American colonial settlement in 1851, following two settlement parties led by Arthur Denny and Luther Collins.",
"The American settlers, referred to as \"Bostons\" by the Duwamish, were on initially relatively good relations with the native peoples.",
"Natives and settlers worked together, and some intermarriages between settler men and native women occurred.",
"However, settlers increasingly began seeing natives with disdain.",
"Three settlers were acquitted for the lynching of a Duwamish man, Mesatchie Jim.",
"This led to a cycle of violence between settlers and natives, leading to vigilante killings of both settlers and natives.Instituted by territorial governor Isaac Stevens, the 1855 Treaty of Point Elliott attempted to force the Duwamish into the Suquamish reservation.",
"It was signed by Seattle, chief of the Duwamish and Suquamish, who had maintained amicable relationships with early settlers and ultimately became the namesake of the new settlement.",
"However, the treaty was not ratified by Congress for several years.",
"During this period, the Puget Sound War broke out over treaty disagreements.",
"Seattle stayed neutral in this conflict and evacuated many Duwamish to the Suquamish reservation prior to the 1856 Battle of Seattle.Most Duwamish returned to their territory adjacent to the town of Seattle by the end of 1856.Local and territorial government repeatedly attempted to displace them from the isthmus, in order to achieve full control over land and resources, as well as to maintain the segregation of races."
],
[
"Ordinance",
"The ordinance was part of an initial slate of five ordinances by the newly formed Board of Trustees of the Town of Seattle, all signed by board president Charles C. Terry on February 7, 1865.Ordinance No.",
"5 was divided into three sections.",
"The first prohibited any Native American from residing in any \"street, highway, lane, or alley, or vacant lot\" in the Town of Seattle, a territory then defined by the property lines of Charles Plummer to the south and William Nathaniel Bell to the north.",
"The second section carved out an exception for natives employed by settlers if housing was provided \"on, or immediately attached to their own place of residence\".",
"The third section entrusted enforcement of the act to the Town Marshal.Provisions to allow for continued Native American workers were outlined due to their crucial status to period settlements in the region.",
"The Town of Seattle, and its corresponding ordinances, were abolished on January 18, 1867, after a widespread public petition calling for disincorporation.",
"It was reincorporated as the City of Seattle in 1869.While Ordinance No.",
"5 was never re-instated, similar anti-indigenous measures remained in effect, such as an 1866 ban of marriages between natives and whites and repeated pressure against the creation of a Duwamish reservation by Seattle settlers."
],
[
"Impact",
"Native Americans and canoes at the Belltown coast, Despite its intentions, the ordinance was not completely successful in driving Native Americans from the town of Seattle.",
"Native presence in and around the city continued, with one observer claiming to have seen Chief Seattle himself within the bounds of the city in 1865.Many Duwamish living within the bounds of Seattle sought refugee at , in what is now the Belltown neighborhood of downtown Seattle.",
"Traditionally a winter village, two longhouses were located at the site, occupied for salal berry collection and salmon fishing.",
"During the enforcement period of Ordinance No.",
"5, it was the closest village site where the Duwamish were allowed to reside.",
"Even after the repeal, the area served as a refuge for the displaced Duwamish.",
"Tents and cabins were erected along the beach by the 1880s.",
"Other Duwamish settled at (Herring's House) at the Duwamish delta, although they were later displaced outside of city limits by arson attacks."
],
[
"Legacy",
"In anticipation of the 150th anniversary of the ordinance's passage on February 7, 2015, the Metropolitan King County Council passed a resolution recognizing February 7 as Native American Expulsion Remembrance Day, stating that the 1865 ordinance was one of \"a series of actions by Seattle’s city government and residents\" that harmed indigenous peoples.",
"The resolution was praised by local indigenous activists."

"Moz, Vayots Dzor"
],
[
"Introduction",
"'''Moz''' in the province of Vayots Dzor was an ancient town in southern Armenia that was destroyed by an earthquake and volcanic eruption in the year of 735.It is the oldest historically documented settlement in Vayots Dzor.",
"In the 7th to 8th centuries, the town was a significant trading and craft center on the Silk Road, with several thousand inhabitants.",
"Moz was the main seat of the Armenian princes of Syunik from the House of Orbelian, who relocated it to Yeghegis after the destruction of the town.Moz is located on a 1,200 meter high hill above the right bank of the Arpa River, three to four kilometers southeast of the village of Malishka.",
"In its heyday, the town was surrounded by fertile lands and dense forests.",
"After the forests disappeared, the area began to be devastated.",
"The place itself has disappeared.",
"However, the ruins, that occupy an area of about 8 hectares, still lie on an important transport route, the M2 highway, the only transit route for cargo from Iran to Yerevan and on to Georgia."
],
[
"History",
"The oldest traces of settlement in Moz are dated to the Bronze Age.",
"They include a large burial ground that extends across scattered hills about two to three kilometers east of Moz, as well as individual graves within Moz itself.",
"People were buried in pairs.",
"In addition to human ashes, archaeologists found dog skeletons, burnt branches, clay and ceramic vessels, obsidian, decorated bronze needles, and other objects.",
"Based on their decoration, they are dated to the early 1st millennium BCE and associated with the Treghk-Vanadzor culture.",
"Discoveries from a later period indicate that the site played an important role in the Urartian Empire.",
"Hellenistic artifacts demonstrate the continued significance of the site after the fall of the empire.In the 7th to 8th centuries, Moz was an important trade and craft center on the Silk Road.",
"At that time the city had several thousand inhabitants.",
"An earthquake and a volcanic eruption destroyed the city under the control of the Armenian Orbelian princes in 735.They moved their headquarters from Moz to Yeghegis after the destruction.",
"The medieval historian Stepanos Orbelian describes the fall of Moz as divine punishment for the death of catholicos Stepanos Siunetsi, who is said to have been killed by a prostitute in Moz.",
"According to him, an impenetrable darkness enveloped Moz's borders immediately after the murder.",
"The earth then shook for forty days, burying tens of thousands of people.",
"What remained was a desert, which is why the place was given the name Vayots Dzor (= Valley of the woe), which is still in use today.",
"However, dates recorded on khachkars (cross stones) and tombstones (1266, 1284, 1311, 1321, 1471, 1483) as well as tribute payments to the Tatev monastery in the 13th century prove that the place was not immediately abandoned, even though it had lost its importance.",
"Later, the small village of Novlar (also known as Moz) was located on the village desert.",
"In Stepanos Orbelya’s list of villages belonging to Tatev its tax size was 12.The successor settlement was abandoned at the beginning of the 20th century.",
".The first excavations of Moz town took place in 1930 by archaeological expedition of Academy of Science of ASSR.",
"The next and bigger excavations were undertaken between 1978 and 1979 under the direction of Hasmik Israyelyan.",
"The Bronze Age and Medieval artifacts found during this excursion and subsequent excavations are on display at the Yeghegnadzor Regional Museum."
],
[
"Earthquake and volcanic eruption",
"Historians and chronicler Movses Kaghankatvatsi, Stepanos Orbelyan,and Kirakos Gandzaketsi describe Moz town and the earthquake that shoke the land for forty days.",
"The first survived report on the event is given by Kaghankatvatsi (10th century).",
"According to him the earthquake was accompanied by “an impenetrable sarkness” over Mocu town, it shoke the lande for forty days and nearly 10000 people were “swallowed up”.",
"The name of the region – Vayots Dzor (=Valley of the woe), Movses connects to this devastating earthquake.Stepanos Orbelian (13th century) gives more detailed description.",
"Completing Kaghankatvatsi he reports about the collapse of mountains, the complete crumbling of rocks.",
"Common houses and fine palaces alike were turned to tombs for their residents.",
"Springs and rivers dried up.",
"Sounds similar to human voices were heard from the depths.",
"The number of victims as 10000 he reported as registered taxpayers and added that nobody knew how many unregistered people perished in the earthquake.Kirakos Gandzaketsi (13th century) gives an abbreviated account of Orbelian's narrative.In their work of “A new catalogue of earthquakes in the historical Armenian area from antiquity to the 12th century” geologists Guidoboni, Emanuela; Traina, and Giusto (1995), carefully analyzing all the historical and geographical sources available, came to a conclusion that in 735 AD indeed there was a devastating earthquake in historical Moz (or Mozu) town.Even though none of the sources gives any information about the volcanic eruption caused by the Moz earthquake, nowadays it is widely believed that Vayotssar mountain, which is located in Vayots Dzor province, north-west from the village Herher, is the result of that “eruption”.",
"Cuneiform expert and cartographer Eduard Melikyan insists on the assertion and shows the traces of lava on a map.",
"He explains the existence of hot spring (such as Jermuk, Jermajur, Tsghuk) near the area by that eruption.",
"Another justification he gives is the duration of the earthquake – 40 days.",
"According to Melikyan only volcanic ones have such durations.According to geologists, even if the youngest volcano in the territory of Republic of Armenia is Vayotssar mountain, its last eruption was 40000 years ago."
],
[
"Origin of the name \"Vayots Dzor\"",
"As we have seen above three historians explain the origin of “Vayots Dzor” by the devastating earthquake.",
"This means that it should be mentioned in literature since 8th century.",
"However, Movses Khorenatsi, who lived 841 years before Orbelian and 242 years before the horrible event, already used the name of Vayots Dzor.",
"Egishe Vardapet, who also lived long before the earthquake, used the name of the province as it is now."

"It quickly attracted a cosmopolitan clientele, and its swimming pool and gardens overlooking the Corniche compensated from its distance from the shoreline.The hotel was not only a popular tourist resort and one of the symbols of the hedonistic pre-war years, but it was also a popular destination for the LGBTQ community in Beirut.During the Lebanese Civil War, Riad Taha, who was the president of the Syndicate of Publishers Union and at the time, trying to forge an anti-PLO front in Beirut, was murdered by the PLO outside the hotel.Because it was not looted like the Parliament, the St. Georges, or the Phoenicia were, or burnt like the Grand Serail was, the Carlton was chosen as the venue for the presidential election when on May 8, 1976, Élias Sarkis became president."

],
[
"Description",
"In the mid-1950s, the Soviet Union began developing a new diesel-electric icebreaker design based on the 1942-built former Kriegsmarine steam-powered icebreaker ''Eisbär'' to meet the needs of both civilian and naval operators.",
"Built in various configurations until the early 1980s, the Project 97 icebreakers and their derivatives became the largest and longest-running class of icebreakers and icebreaking vessels built in the world.",
"The single-vessel subclass Project 97E, an icebreaker built for East Germany, was practically identical to the unarmed icebreakers built for the Ministry of the Maritime Fleet of the Soviet Union with the exception of a significantly smaller crew of 17 working with two-week rotation.",
"''Stephan Jantzen'' is long overall and has a beam of and maximum draught of .",
"The ship's diesel-electric power plant consists of three 10-cylinder 13D100 two-stroke opposed-piston diesel engines coupled to double-armature direct current (DC) generators.",
"They provided power to electric propulsion motors driving two fixed pitch propellers in the stern and a third motor rated at driving a propeller in the bow.",
"The ship's bollard pull would allow towing a 200,000-tonne tanker at a speed of and breaking thick snow-covered ice at very slow but continuous speed."
],
[
"History",
"=== 1967–2005 ===''Stephan Jantzen'' in Rostock in 1980''Stephan Jantzen'' was laid down at Admiralty Shipyard in Leningrad on 15 September 1966, launched on 30 December 1966, and delivered on 30 November 1967.The ship was named after (1827–1913), a famous German captain, harbour pilot and first commander of the German Maritime Search and Rescue Service station in Warnemünde.",
"''Stephan Jantzen'' was operated by the state-owned shipping company Bagger-, Bugsier- und Bergungsreederei Rostock (BBB) until the German reunification in 1990 and Wasser- und Schifffahrtsamt Stralsund until the ship's decommissioning.",
"Although built as an icebreaker, ''Stephan Jantzen'' was regularly used for all kinds of rescue, salvage and towing operations.",
"In April–May 1976, it towed the 210,000-tonne crude oil tanker ''Metula'' from Brunsbüttel to Santander, Spain, for scrapping.Having earned the nickname \"Iron Pig\" () over its 38-year service, ''Stephan Jantzen'' was replaced in 2005 by the icebreaking multipurpose vessel ''Arkona''.",
"=== 2005–2018 ===After decommissioning, the ship's name was shortened to ''Stephan'' and the German state put the icebreaker for sale in an online auction through the federal disposal sales and marketing agency VEBEG.",
"The winning 430,000 euro bid was submitted by Beta Mar Limited, a shipping company registered in Greece, but the buyer never collected the vessel and forfeited the 40,000 euro downpayment.In 2006, the icebreaker was acquired by the New York City-based businessman Paolo Zampolli who purchased it from the German state with the intention of rebuilding it to a luxury yacht for private voyages to the Arctic and the Antarctic.",
"Although the vessel was reportedly reflagged to Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, official records indicate that it was instead registered in Panama under the name ''King Ice''.",
"The icebreaker remained docked in Stralsund as the owner was reportedly unable to find a suitable shipyard to carry out the conversion work.",
"The ship's name was changed back to the original sometime in 2008.In February 2009, a Florida-based yacht broker offered ''Stephan Jantzen'' for sale for $3.5 million (2.8 million euro).In July 2009, ''Stephan Jantzen'' was evicted from Stralsund for blocking the berth and towed to Rostock.",
"The owner made an agreement with a newly-established non-profit association, Interessengemeinschaft Eisbrecher Stephan Jantzen (\"Icebreaker Stephan Jantzen Interest Group\"), for maintaining the vessel and offering tours to visitors.In July 2012, Zampolli gave the association a week's notice to vacate ''Stephan Jantzen'' as the icebreaker would be leaving Rostock for conversion to a research ship.",
"The ship was then reportedly sold to Kai Gunther Lehmann who registered it as a yacht in the Regensburg district court under the name ''König Ludwig II Von Bayern''.",
"However, the change of ownership was disputed and the Heidelberg district court ruled in favor of Zampolli in 2015.In May 2016, the Rostock district court seized ''Stephan Jantzen'' due to outstanding berthing and security fees.",
"Over the years, the icebreaker had suffered from vandalism and lack of maintenance, and the non-profit association that had previously maintained the vessel (now renamed Technische Flotte Rostock; \"Rostock Technical Fleet\") first guarded the ship on a volunteer basis and later under contract with the city of Rostock.In 2018, the city of Rostock acquired the ship in a compulsory auction for 25,000 euro.",
"A higher bid submitted on behalf of Zampolli was not accepted.=== 2018 onwards ===After acquiring ''Stephan Jantzen'', the city of Rostock entrusted the icebreaker in care of the non-profit association Technische Flotte Rostock who opened it to the public as a museum ship after extensive clean-up on the 30th Hanseatic Day in June 2018 and have continued restoring the vessel since.== References =="

"Led by drummer Chad Taylor, it features alto saxophonist Jemeel Moondoc, trombonist Steve Swell, and double bassist Tom Abbs, as well as guest artists Rob Mazurek (cornet), David Boykin (tenor saxophone), and Avreeayl Ra (percussion).",
"The album was recorded on July 5 and 6, 2002, and was released in 2003 by Delmark Records."
],
[
"Reception",
"In a review for AllMusic, Thom Jurek called the album \"a wildly adventurous date that swings across continents in its musical approach, from North America to Southern Africa, and regards both freewheeling improvisation and elegant composition equally.\"",
"He wrote: \"''Titration'' is a brilliant articulation of balance, not only between two approaches to the jazz avant-garde, but also of the new composition that relies so heavily on free improv.",
"\"Rex Butters of ''All About Jazz'' stated that the recording \"brings together four of the strongest players on the New York free scene,\" and commented: \"Active Ingredients has turned in an impressive debut.",
"Amidst the many projects to which these musicians contribute, hopefully this group will become a priority.\"",
"''AAJ'''s Derek Taylor wrote that the band name \"echoes the galvanizing energy inherent in the musicians' association,\" and praised the group's \"resistance to long-term convention and custom.",
"\"A writer for ''CMJ New Music Report'' noted Taylor's association with the Chicago Underground, and remarked: \"Eschewing the Underground's penchant for electronics, ''Titration'' kicks up a rough-hewn and soulful avant-garde vibe that's acoustic and more conventionally Jazz, but just as far-reaching and ambitious as Taylor's more established outlet.",
"\"In an article for ''One Final Note'', Jay Collins wrote: \"This is an outstanding debut from a group of players that, both together in this collective or on their own, make exciting music.",
"Taylor, in particular, makes a strong case for himself as a bandleader, composer and musician and thus, ''Titration'' is one of the strongest records of the year.",
"\"Ken Waxman of ''JazzWord'' called the album \"an impressive achievement,\" and stated: \"there are times on ''Titration'''s four quartet tracks that the combo sounds like an updated New York Art Quartet... one of the few drawbacks of the CD is that the tunes often seem as if they should be longer.\""

"Primos (comics)"
],
[
"Introduction",
"'''''Primos''''' is a 2022 science fiction comic book limited series created by writer Al Madrigal and artist Carlo Barberi.",
"It was published by AWA Studios under itsUpshot imprint and ran for four issues.",
"It was collected in trade paperback form in July 2022."
],
[
"Publication history",
"Madrigal’s fascination with superheroes and passion for increasing the representation of Latinx stories, characters, and voices led him to create and write the comic book series ''Primos'' in 20222 with publisher AWA and former Marvel Editor in Chief Axel Alonso and artist Carlo Barberi.",
"''Primos'' brings together three distant cousins, bound together by their ancient spacefaring Maya lineage to the historical King Janaab, with a profoundly special purpose: to save the world as they know it.In introducing three Latinx superheroes, Madrigal and AWA Studios are venturing into territory that has been shunned by most of the big comic book companies.",
"But comic book fan culture is just as big in the Latinx community as it is anywhere else, and Madrigal hopes to capitalize on and honor the culture.“A lot of the bigger characters were started in the ‘50s and ‘60s, and it’s all White guys,” Madrigal told ''Forbes Entertainment.",
"''“They became so popular and it was sort of hard to introduce others.",
"I always gravitated towards any minority character because I’m half-Mexican.",
"It’s nice to see yourself on the page and on the screen.”“There’s so much inspiration to draw upon here, from the myth that the pyramids were built by aliens, to the success of the Mayan civilization and culture and the mystery around their cities’ collapse,” wrote Madrigal in an email to The Times.",
"“However, the main inspiration was King K’inich Janaab’ Pakal’s rule from 603 to 683.It was a great building block for the ‘Primos’ mythology.",
"I hope to be able to dive further into Mayan culture as I continue the series.”The first issue in the series was released on February 2, 2022, available in both English & Spanish."
],
[

"Kurdish Hezbollah insurgency"
],
[
"Introduction",
"The '''Kurdish Hezbollah insurgency''' was a period of assassinations, armed clashes, kidnappings, and other assaults led by the Kurdish Hezbollah between the 1980s and 2000s.",
"The insurgency started when Kurdish Hezbollah was first founded, and was led by Hüseyin Velioğlu until he was killed by Turkish police in 2000, and then by İsa Altsoy from 2001 until he announced the group's disarmament in 2002.Occasional Turkish government raids against Hezbollah continued until 2009."
],
[
"Background",
"Turkish authorities alleged that the Kurdish Hezbollah was financed by Iran, and its fighters were trained in the Islamic Republic of Iran, with Iran allegedly planning on using Kurdish Hezbollah to overthrow the Turkish government and establish an Iran-style Islamic Republic.",
"Nevertheless, Kurdish Hezbollah abandoned that goal and began prioritising Kurdish separatism.The Kurdish Hezbollah viewed Turkey as an oppressive state and an enemy to Islam, and viewed the PKK as a threat.",
"Kurdish Hezbollah claimed to be the sole representative of Kurds in Turkey and viewed the PKK as illegitimate, while the PKK felt the same way towards them.",
"Kurdish Hezbollah members refused to acknowledge the PKK by their name \"Partiya Karkerên Kurdistanê\", and only used \"Partiya Kafirên Kurdistanê\".",
"In the Kurdish Hezbollah manifesto, written by Hüseyin Velioğlu, the official goal for the group was Kurdish independence."
],
[
"Insurgency",
"During its beginnings, the Kurdish Hezbollah did not want to fight the PKK, and at times they had even repeatedly tried making peace with the PKK, but failed.",
"They had sent a delegation to visit Beqaa Valley to make peace and discuss future cooperation with the PKK, although they were disrupted on 17 May 1991, when the PKK, while unprovoked, killed the parents of a high-ranking Kurdish Hezbollah member in Şırnak.",
"The Kurdish Hezbollah, at the funeral, declared a war against the PKK, and on 3 December 1991, Kurdish Hezbollah member Muhammed Ata killed Mihail Bayro, a PKK regional officer and his bodyguards.",
"Ata was later killed in clashes with Turkish forces.",
"The clashes between PKK and Kurdish Hezbollah continued until 1995, with the PKK losing around 500 fighters and Kurdish Hezbollah losing much less at around 200.After 1995, Hezbollah and PKK both stopped targeting each other and shifted their full attention to fighting Turkey, although they had no formal agreement and remained enemies.",
"According to Turkey, the PKK and Hezbollah made a formal and fully effective ceasefire in 1998, and their relations slowly began to develop, paving the way for future cooperation.",
"It was around this time when Hüseyin Velioğlu quickly rose up to be the most wanted man in Turkey after Abdullah Öcalan.",
"It was later discovered that in March 1993, Iran attempted to host peace talks between Kurdish Hezbollah and PKK, although the talks failed.Kurdish Hezbollah denied the accusations of working with the Turkish state, and claims that it is PKK propaganda, while the Turkish state also considers Kurdish Hezbollah as a terrorist organization and as a threat, although they tolerated the Kurdish Hezbollah at first, due to them fighting the PKK.Although Turkish authorities arrested over 1,550 Hezbollah members between 1992 and 1996, while also arresting PKK members, they ignored the war going on between the PKK and Hezbollah, in hopes that both factions fight each other until neither group had the power to continue the Kurdish–Turkish conflict.",
"However, because of Hüseyin Velioğlu's increasing Kurdish nationalism, the Hezbollah's ceasefire with the PKK, the Hezbollah's increasing presence among Kurds in southeast Turkey, as well as the growing hostility from Hezbollah towards Turkey, the Turkish authorities could not ignore Hezbollah anymore, and arrested more than 6,000 of their members from 1997 to 2000.Turkish authorities accused Hezbollah militants of dressing like Suleymancis or Nurcus (a group they frequently targeted), and impersonating them in public to avoid being suspected of terrorism.Turkish authorities cracked down on Hezbollah and began tracking their movements.",
"Hezbollah leadership, on high alert, began executing any of their members who they suspected of being informants for Turkey or the MİT.",
"Hezbollah increased their hit-and-run attacks against Turkish authorities and civilians.Turkish intelligence stated that the Kurdistan Islamic Movement and the PKK helped Hezbollah throughout the insurgency.",
"A Turkish police chief even referred to PKK and Hezbollah as being different fingers on the same hand.",
"After the arrest of Abdullah Öcalan in 1999, Turkish authorities began focusing on Hüseyin Velioğlu, whose location was unknown due to him constantly moving around.During the 1990s, Hezbollah had committed around 593 murders and 43 kidnappings.",
"In 1998 they kidnapped and later killed the Islamic feminist activist Konca Kuriş.",
"They also kidnapped Nurcu activist İzzettin Yıldırım while he was preparing for tarawih on December 29, 1999.His dead body was found in a Hezbollah cell house during the 2000 Istanbul raids.The 1993 killing of Uğur Mumcu was blamed on both the PKK and Hezbollah.",
"Mustafa Karasu alleged that Mumcu was killed by the Turkish state in order to prevent his spreading the fact that the PKK was had been infiltrated by the MİT.During the beginning of the year 2000, Turkish authorities launched raids on various houses in Istanbul, especially a villa in Beykoz, in which they killed Hüseyin Velioğlu, leading to the decline of Hezbollah.",
"The Turkish government later launched a huge crackdown in which they arrested over 15,000 of the estimated 20,000 Hezbollah members.",
"According to Turkey, Hüseyin Velioğlu was in Iran for a period of time and had returned to Turkey 2 months before the raids.",
"Years later, American tech company IBM extracted files from undamaged hard drives from computers which Hüseyin Velioğlu shot at in an attempt to destroy evidence during his shootout with Turkish police in Beykoz.",
"IBM sent the files to a Diyarbakir court.",
"A Turkish parliamentary report revealed that in 1995, 400–500 Kurdish teenagers had been sent by Hezbollah to Iran for military training, in preparation for an offensive against Turkish forces.The last major attack of Kurdish Hezbollah, and possible retaliation for the killing of Hüseyin Velioğlu, was the 2001 assassination of Gaffar Okkan, a Turkish police officer stationed in Diyarbakir, whom they had given death threats earlier, in which 5 other police officers were killed.The Turkish state cracked down on Hezbollah in mosques, in which led to almost all mosques being cleared of Hezbollah activity.",
"Thousands of Kurdish sheikhs accused of giving pro-Hezbollah lectures were given prison sentences.",
"Hezbollah recruitment had diminished.",
"Hezbollah members who weren't arrested began hiding in large numbers, and hundreds of high-ranking Hezbollah members had fled to Iraq, Syria, or Europe before they could be arrested.",
"A Hezbollah member who went into hiding admitted how he had to carry a pocket-size copy of Risale-i Nur so that the Turkish police would not accuse him of being a Hezbollah member.",
"Hezbollah members who were arrested claimed to have been tortured by Turkish authorities, with the claims of torture being mentioned in Urgent Actions (UA) of Amnesty International.In 2002, under İsa Altsoy, the Kurdish Hezbollah ended its armed activities and began focusing on charity work for the Kurdish poor, as part of various rebranded organizations.On April 27, 2009, Turkish police raided a Hezbollah house in Elazığ, in their largest operation against the group since Istanbul 2000, in which they found a video of the murder of İzzettin Yıldırım.The Kurdish Hezbollah was an Islamic extremist group, although it had diverse members, ranging from the vast majority who were Sunni, to small Twelver Shia and Salafi minorities, all with the goal of a Sharia-ruled independent Kurdistan.",
"Hüseyin Velioğlu managed to keep the different factions united by emphasising their shared Kurdish Muslim identity, and by avoiding sectarianism.",
"After Velioğlu's death and the rupture of Hezbollah, the Sunnis either joined the various Hezbollah rebranded organizations or left Turkey, while the Shia and Salafi minorities returned to their normal lives.",
"Many of the members who left Turkey started reorganising in Europe, especially Germany, and began opening Hezbollah rebranded organizations, as well as pro-Hezbollah mosques."
],
[
"Legacy",
"Niyazi Palabıyık, the police chief who led the raids on Hezbollah in 2000 in Istanbul, while recalling on the incidents, referred to Hezbollah as \"a very barbaric organisation\".After Hezbollah ended its armed activities in 2002, former Hezbollah members created the \"Solidarity with the Oppressed\" (''Mustazaflar ile Dayanışma Derneği'' or Mustazaf Der) in 2003.It also became known as the Movement of the Oppressed (Turkish: ''Mustazaflar Hareketi'').",
"Mustazaf Der was active in organizing mass meetings in Kurdish cities to celebrate the Prophet Muhammad's birthday (Mawlid).",
"On 20 April 2010 a court in Diyarbakir ordered the closure of Mustazaf-Der on the grounds that it was \"conducting activities on behalf of the terrorist organization Hizbollah.\"",
"The decision was confirmed by the Court of Cassation on 11 May 2012.A Pro-Hezbollah protest in Diyarbakır in 2014In December 2012, a political party known as the Free Cause Party was founded.",
"In 2022, the Büro-İş Union appealed to the Turkish Supreme Court to close the Free Cause Party due to its alleged Hezbollah background and its many alleged violations of the Turkish constitution.",
"The Free Cause Party was attacked many times by Turkish nationalists.",
"The Free Cause Party remained relatively unknown until they suddenly gained infamy during the 2023 Turkish elections and became a controversial topic.",
"Free Cause Party members were later beaten in Trabzon in 2023, in which Zekeriya Yapıcıoğlu stated that the attack was incited by Ümit Özdağ, and announced that he had filed criminal complaints against Özdağ.",
"Again in 2023, the Free Cause Party came under controversy due to Yapıcıoğlu claiming that Hezbollah and the PKK are not terrorist groups.",
"The Free Cause Party claimed that they have no connection to Hezbollah, and that they are not a continuation of them nor their political wing.",
"Binali Yıldırım, Süleyman Soylu, and Devlet Bahçeli have also claimed that the Free Cause Party has no connection with the designated terrorist organization Hezbollah."

"The main monastery church, the Transfiguration of Jesus Christ Church is also a parish church.",
"The monastery, Orthodox churches and two Pilgrim Houses (wooden and brick) make up the Grabarka-Klasztor settlement.",
"There is also an Orthodox cemetery in the settlement.",
"The complex has 9 ha."
],
[
"History",
"===The beginnings of the cult in Grabarka===Antoni Mironowicz associates the beginnings of the sanctuary with the cult of the miraculous icon of Christ the Savior, which was particularly venerated already in the 13th century in the church in nearby Mielnik.",
"According to local tradition, during the Tatar invasions, the monks taking care of the icon were supposed to hide with the holy image in the surrounding forests, and eventually found their way to Góra Grabarka.",
"The same monks were to initiate a new period of worship of the miraculous icon, which was expressed in giving special importance to the celebrations associated with the feast of the Transfiguration of Jesus on August 19.It was recorded that already in the 14th century, in the areas adjacent to the Mielnicka Forest, special importance was attached to this holiday.",
"The feast of the Transfiguration of the Lord is commonly called by the Orthodox population in the Białystok region the feast of Spas, which is considered a derivative of the earlier cult of the icon of Spas (Savior) existing in the vicinity of Grabarka (or in Grabarka itself).The monastery buildingHistorian Józef Maroszek has a different opinion about the beginnings of Grabarka, according to whom the first cult center in Grabarka was founded at the beginning of the 18th century as a Greek Catholic sanctuary.",
"In his opinion, information about the existence of a temple with roots dating back to the Middle Ages, in the light of documents, can be considered as having more in common with legends than with historical truth.",
"According to preserved accounts, in July 1710 a cholera epidemic broke out in nearby Siemiatycze.",
"It caused panic among the city's inhabitants, who began to leave en masse, hiding in the surrounding forests until the epidemic ended in winter.",
"This event should be associated with the establishment of a chapel and a cult center in Grabarka, initiated by the Uniate metropolitan of Kiev and abbot of Supraśl, Lev Kiszka.",
"This is confirmed by a document from July 1, 1717, in which the bishop agreed to conduct services in the chapel on Święta Góra.",
"Documents of the pastoral visitation from 1726 mention the existence of a \"new chapel\" in Grabarka.",
"Transfiguration of the Lord.",
"The chapel was described as a structure with a timber roof and two windows4.The cult of the Transfiguration of the Lord developed significantly.",
"On June 26, 1763, Bishop Felicjan Filip Wołodkowicz, and on May 20, 1789, due to the efforts of the Bishop of Włodzimierz and Brzesko, Simeon Młocki, Pope Pius VI granted a 15-year indulgence for pilgrims visiting Grabarka.",
"Before 1798, a new chapel was built in place of the previous one.",
"According to the description of the Uniate priest Antoni Duchnowski was larger than the previous one, it had a main altar with a painting of the Holy Trinity and the Transfiguration of the Lord, a ciborium for communicants and the host, two side altars, 7 windows, a separate choir, a presbytery and a porch.",
"It was also mentioned that the chapel had the privileges of indulgences from the Holy See, which means that even then Grabarka was an important pilgrimage center, and the water from the stream flowing through it was considered miraculous.===Grabarka in the 19th and early 20th centuries===The partitions of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth placed the Siemiatycze County initially in the Prussian Partition, and then, under the Treaties of Tilsit, these areas were annexed to Russia in 1807.In 1839, a decree was issued by Tsar Nicholas I of Russia liquidating the Uniate Church in the Russian Empire.",
"For the first few years after this event, the church was used to hold services for the Uniate population, even though it was already served by Orthodox clergy.",
"This could have been a cause of disputes between denominations and had a negative impact on the condition of the temple.",
"In 1866, Kwiercetus described the terrible condition of the forest chapel, which had no roof or floor.",
"Despite this, large numbers of pilgrims still arrived on August 6.In 1884, priest Józef Gereminowicz began the renovation of the chapel in Grabarka, which lasted 11 years.",
"New walls, ceiling, floor, foundations, roof and iconostasis were built in the church, while the interior of the temple was expanded.After World War I, the church in Grabarka was kept in good condition, and because there was a cemetery next to it and funeral services were held there, it was not closed during the revindication of Eastern Orthodox churches in the Second Polish Republic.",
"Throughout the interwar period, services were also held in the church several times a year for the numerous believers.",
"The church in Grabarka did not suffer any damage during World War II.===Grabarka in the modern borders of Poland===Orthodox church of Icon of Our Lady in GrabarkaWith the changes in borders in 1945, the status of the Polish Orthodox Church also changed - in the post-war era of Poland there was not a single Orthodox nunnery that could have become a place of residence for several Orthodox nuns who managed to survive the war in the country.",
"In 1947, the Orthodox Bishop of Białystok, Tymoteusz, proposed locating a new monastery on Święta Góra near the village of Grabarka.",
"On November 25, 1947, the monastery was officially established.The first superior of the congregation was Schimniszka Maria (Komstadius), with whom two more sisters arrived in Grabarka at the end of 1947.In 1948, eight nuns served, and in August of the same year, the congregation celebrated the feast of the Transfiguration of the Lord for the first time.",
"The first years of the monastery's existence were accompanied by great financial difficulties, and the sisters' existence was made especially difficult by the lack of living quarters.",
"At that time, on Góra Grabarka there was only a wooden church of the Transfiguration and a small guardhouse, uninhabitable.",
"Initially, the nuns spent the night in the bell tower of the old Orthodox church.Orthodox crossesIn 1948, an Orthodox parish was established at the monastery, which included the villages of Grabarka, Szumiłówka, Oksiutycze, Pawłowicz, Homoty, Szerzenie and Hałasówka.",

"This church is located approximately one hundred meters south of the main monastery temple.In the years 1961–1963, when Ihumenia Barbara (Grosser) was the superior of the monastery, restoration and iconographic works were carried out in the main monastery church of the Transfiguration of the Lord.",
"The interior of the chapel received a new - referring to the traditional - design by Adam Stalony-Dobrzański and Jerzy Nowosielski, professors of the Krakow Academy of Fine Arts.",
"In 1967, there were 20 nuns in the monastery, the largest number in the history of the monastery.Interior of the Church of the Transfiguration of Jesus ChristIn the years 1977–1981, a new brick monastic house was built, with a spacious refectory church dedicated to the Dormition of the Mother of God.",
"The refectory church was consecrated on July 3, 1981, by the then bishop of Lublin (later archbishop of Łódź and Poznań), Szymon (Romańczuk).In the 1980s, there was a revival of the tradition of mass Orthodox pilgrimages to August celebrations on the occasion of the Transfiguration of the Lord.",
"In 1986, the first walking pilgrimage from Białystok began and continues to this day.",
"In addition, Orthodox Christians make pilgrimages to the August celebrations from, among others, Sokółka, Czarna Białostocka, Hajnówka, Bielsk Podlaski, Drohiczyn, Mielnik, Siemiatycze, Grodzisk, Jabłeczna and Warsaw.",

"Battle of Banias"
],
[
"Introduction",
"The '''Battle of Banias''' was a military engagement between the Ayyubid force and the Crusader force led by King Baldwin IV of Jerusalem.",
"The Ayyubids routed the Crusaders."
],
[
"Background",
"After the crushing defeat at the Battle of Montgisard, the Ayyubid sultan, Saladin, retreated to Egypt and remained there for several months, consolidating his position there.",
"In late spring 1178, he returned to Damascus and remained there for the rest of the year.",
"Following up with his victory, Baldwin pushed forward towards Syria and established a fortress on the road to Damascus called Jacob's Ford.",
"Seeing this, Saladin attempted to induce Baldwin to abandon the fort by offering 60,000 and then 100,000 gold pieces, but that didn't happen."
],
[
"Battle",
"In the spring of 1179, Baldwin launched an expedition to collect the sheep passing Banias as the seasonal movement of flocks began from the fields of Damascus.",

"John Paul Joans"
],
[
"Introduction",
"'''Reginald John Davidge''' (9 December 1944 – 3 May 2013), better known under his stage name '''John Paul Joans''', was a British comedian active in the 1960s and 1970s, who had one top thirty single in the UK singles chart."
],
[
"Biography",
"Born in Somerset, the 6'6\" tall Davidge started performing in the mid-1950s under the name '''Reg Gray''', and appeared in the 1958 film Tom Thumb.",
"His career struggled to the extent that he was imprisoned three times in the 1950s, once for fraud, once for stealing a pork pie worth 1s 2d (at which time he had no fixed abode), and once for trying to steal a record player in order to pay for the fare for a gig in Burnley.",
"One probation officer said that he \"did not think there was much likelihood of his getting regular work\".In 1963 he adopted the stage name '''John Paul Joans''' and his break came when he won Best Club Act award in the Granada Television talent show Firstimers in 1967 and earned a contract with Harvey Lisberg, the manager of Herman's Hermits.===Musical career===In 1970, Lisberg put Joans together with Strawberry Studios in Stockport to write a Christmas song and Joans wrote a single - \"The Man From Nazareth\" - with Kevin Godley, Lol Creme, and Eric Stewart, who had already had a hit as Hotlegs and would be 75% of 10cc.",
"The song was a spoken word routine to the Hotlegs backing, in the vein of \"Ringo\" by Lorne Greene, and got to number 41 in the charts at the end of 1970, but a complaint from John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin (on the basis that the American release printed his name as J.P. Jones) led to a reprinting of labels and the single lost momentum.It did however re-enter the charts after a missing week and peaked at number 25, helped by Joans performing on Top Of The Pops on 14 January 1971, while the song was out of the charts.Capitol Records signed up Joans and released two singles simply under the name John, but neither charted.",
"A 1972 single in support of striking miners - by which time Joans was on the Polydor Records label - was only played twice on the British Broadcasting Corporation because of its political slant, resulting in Joans' manager - and wife - Maureen announcing that she was banning the BBC from playing it in future.===Stand-up comedy===However Joans' main career was in stand-up comedy, with topical and often controversial routines, and having a \"gift for ad lib\".",
"Bob Monkhouse said he was \"brilliantly bitter and hilariously tasteless...with a considerable gift for persuading the audience to adopt his very funny view of life\", and has been called the first alternative comedian in Britain.",
"In 1975, Joans separated from his wife, who retained custody of their two children.",
"Joans moved to London in 1976 and in 1977 gave up performing in order to work as a promoter for the Peace People in Belfast, organizing entertainment shows in Northern Ireland.However, in February 1977, Joans was critically injured after being run over by a Land Rover, the effects of which altered his personality to the extent that, when visiting his ex-wife in Dewsbury after she had suffered an injury, he \"snatched\" his younger son and refused to allow him to return to his mother for 11 weeks; he was given a 6-month suspended sentence.Joans retreated to private life and married his carer Sheila, finally receiving compensation for the car accident in 1985 and regaining his full speech capabilities unintil 1993.He briefly came out of retirement for charity shows in 1997.Joans died in Somerset in 2013."

"It was written by Jan Amos Comenius in 1632 in the Polish town of Leszno.",
"The work emerged as part of efforts to reform Czech education, with the Informatorium intended to be a component of a well-thought-out plan for lifelong education, as further elucidated in the Great Didactics."
],
[
"Overview",
"The manuscript of the work was discovered in Leszno in 1856 and was first published in print in 1858.Comenius translated this work into German in 1633, likely into Polish in 1636, and into Latin in 1653.The book is divided into twelve chapters, serving as a guide for educators of young children, providing an analysis of all the crucial aspects of preschool education.",
"Comenius aimed to make educators aware of how a child naturally acquaints themselves with the world, emphasizing that at this age, the foundation for further education is laid.",
"According to him, the interaction of a child with objects and phenomena can be influenced to prepare them for formal schooling, for which preschool education serves as a natural preparation.",
"The work emphasizes the necessity of nurturing care for the youngest children, focusing not only on maternal upbringing but also involving fathers and others in the child's upbringing.The main goal of the Informatorium is an attempt to reform the educational system.",
"This work is unique in that it is the first early modern systematic treatise on the upbringing of children in the youngest age group.",
"The impact of the work was felt primarily in later times, not directly during the author's lifetime.",
"It is the first work of its time (17th century) in which the necessity of caring for the youngest children is justified.",
"The author emphasizes the importance of caring for a child from birth and describes the significance of this upbringing for the child's further development and future life.",
"Despite the fact that the field of child psychology did not exist at that time, Comenius's ideas have not lost their relevance."

"Wrights Tunnel"
],
[
"Introduction",
"The '''Wrights Tunnel''' (also known as the '''Summit Tunnel''', '''Tunnel 2''', or '''Tunnel 1''' after the daylighting of the Cats Canyon tunnel) is a railroad tunnel located in the Santa Cruz Mountains in Santa Clara and Santa Cruz Counties, California.",
"Opened in 1880 after almost two years of construction involving numerous fatalities, the tunnel was at one point the longest tunnel in California and one the longest tunnels in the United States.",
"It carried the tracks of the narrow gauge South Pacific Coast Railroad, which ran trains from San Francisco to Santa Cruz until the railroad was acquired by Southern Pacific Railroad, which upgraded the tracks to standard gauge and continued operating trains through the line and its tunnel until a major storm in 1940 washed out certain sections of the track in the Santa Cruz Mountains.",
"After two years of no rail traffic on the line, Southern Pacific abandoned the line.",
"Subsequently, the United States Army Corps of Engineers collapsed both portals with explosives, destroying the northern portal in the process.",
"The interior of the tunnel remains intact along with the south portal, but the conditions of the interior are unknown, particularly since the tunnel crosses the San Andreas Fault and no person has entered the tunnel in the aftermath of the Loma Prieta earthquake."
],
[
"Construction",
"A Chinese worker standing outside the north portal in Wrights shortly around the opening of the tunnel.",
"Note that the portal is constructed with timber and not concrete.",
"The portal and tunnel would be rebuilt 13 years later in 1893 when concrete and a spillway would be addedThe north portal under construction in 1890The original wooden south portal in 1882, with the Burns creek trestle before itAfter it was determined where the tracks of the future South Pacific Coast Railroad would go in the Santa Cruz Mountains in September 1878, construction of the tunnel commenced in the following October.",
"Camp sites, occupied almost exclusively by Chinese laborers, developed at each portal.",
"These sites led to the founding of Wrights, located directly adjacent to the north portal, and Highland, now known as Laurel, located adjacent to the south portal and Burns Creek.",
"Construction lasted around two years, during said time dozens of Chinese laborers were killed in multiple methane explosions caused by a methane leak within the tunnel, with the leak discovered on November 16, 1878.There was also crude oil leaking into the tunnel and coal deposits within the tunnel, with particularly the former contributing to the poor working conditions of the laborers.",
"Lit candles were used by workers to burn off the unknown source of methane which availed to be fruitless, all while workers kept passing out due to the presence of this natural gas.===Valentine's day explosion===On February 14, 1879, the methane within the north branch tunnel ignited, causing a massive explosion, killing fourteen Chinese workers and burning many other workers.Thereafter, work was halted on the tunnel for three months while engineers worked to find a solution for the methane question.",
"A crude air ventilation system was installed to pump fresh air into the incomplete tunnel.",
"After this incident, the Chinse workers which resided in Wrights refused to reenter the tunnel, and different Chinese workers were brought to complete the work on the tunnel.===June cave in===During the construction of the tunnel in June 1879, multiple creosote treated redwood support beams in the tunnel ignite and spread to one another, compromising the structural integrity of that portion of the tunnel and causing that segment to cave-in.",
"This set the project back by another two months.===November explosion===After the previous two incidents in the same year, a pair of massive explosions occurred within the north branch of the tunnel at shortly before 12 AM on November 17, 1879, killing 32 Chinese workers and injuring many other workers as well.",
"The explosion was caused by a flame which was lit to blast the rock with explosives.",
"However, that flame ignited the high amounts of methane in the air, with the subsequent explosion severely shaking the surrounding area.",
"away at the portal, other workers felt the shock produced by the explosion, with 20 Chinese workers subsequently rushing into the tunnel with torches to rescue the injured.",
"After traversing into the tunnel, another even more massive explosion occurred which essentially turned this half of the tunnel into a barrel, with a mountain of flame spewing out of the north portal.",
"This explosion also destroyed the engine house and a shed within a hundred feet of the north portal.",
"Thereafter, the methane leak was discovered right by the north portal and a lantern was placed by it to flare off the methane in order to prevent another explosion.===North portal collapse===The new north portal and adjacent spillway under construction, 1893In the winter of 1893, the wooden north portal by Wrights collapsed after a winter storm.",
"The portal is located in a gulley where water from the mountains above collects, and such water would flow over the portal onto the tracks, bringing debris with it, often landing on the tracks and blocking them.",
"With the collapse of the portal, a new concrete portal was installed with an spillway adjacent to resolve this issue.",
"The new portal was also designed to be larger in order to provide room for the future standard gauging of the tracks."
],
[
"Narrow gauge operations",
"The tunnel opened to rail service on May 10, 1880.Passenger and freight service to Santa Cruz would pass through the tunnel, including the now famous Suntan Special.",
"Much like how California State Route 17 becomes severely congested on weekends and during the summer in the present, tourists from the San Francisco Bay Area would flock to the Suntan special to spend a day or the weekend at the beaches of Santa Cruz, while others would take the train to whistle stops throughout the Santa Cruz Mountains to hike, picnic, or relax in the redwood forests, both of which have become less accessible to the average person since the abandonment of the railroad.",
"In 1895, H.S.",
"Kneedler wrote the following about the line in his book ''Through Storyland to Sunset Seas'':Although the line was a major success for passenger rail to Santa Cruz, it was also a huge success for freight rail, with numerous quarries, sawmills, farmers, and other industries relying on the Summit Tunnel to transport their products to sea ports in Oakland and San Francisco."

"1906 San Francisco Earthquake damage & reconstruction",
"The slip along the San Andreas Fault and its associated damage.",
"After the earthquake the segments of the tunnel no longer aligned with one anotherSince the tunnel runs through the San Andreas Fault Zone near Wrights, the tunnel suffered severe damage from the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake, causing a one year closure of the tunnel and the railroad through the mountains.",
"Because of the slip in the fault which caused the earthquake, the segments of the tunnel on the Pacific plate and the North American plate were displaced by five feet, requiring the formerly straight tunnel to incorporate a curve to be aligned again.",
"The tunnel was repaired thereafter and widened to make way for standard gauge trains, which would begin using the tunnel in 1909.The western portal was also replaced due to the earthquake and a brick ceiling was installed for the first three hundred feet of the tunnel to prevent collapse from the sandstone present there.",
"The brick ceiling is exposed to this day, with the collapse of the tunnel conducted further within when the tunnel was closed.",
"The tunnel was also retimbered with redwood timbers by 1907."
],
[
"Standard gauge operations & abandonment",
"The north portal of the summit tunnel in 2009.The portal continues to be in this current state.",
"The interior of the tunnel has built of sediment, making the interior shorter than it actually is.",
"Shortly within the portal, the sediment continues to the ceiling where the tunnel was caved inAfter the reconstruction and retrofit of the existing tunnel, the Summit Tunnel continued to carry trains through the summit of the Santa Cruz Mountains without any major incidents.",
"The tunnel operated for 33 years after its reopening and saw its last train in February 1940.After two years of inactivity on the rail line through the mountains, Southern Pacific abandoned segment of the railroad between Downtown Los Gatos in Los Gatos and Olympia, along with the Summit Tunnel, in 1942.Both portals were blasted to preserve the interior of the tunnel, prevent trespassers, and for insurance reasons.",
"The blast at the north portal caused the portal to partially collapse, a state which remains the same, and is, alongside the concrete piers over the Los Gatos creek, one of the last remanent of Wrights, with the town also dying due to the absence of the railroad.",
"Prior to the blasting of the tunnel, the rails and timbers within the tunnel were removed by H. A. Christie under contract with the Southern Pacific Railroad."

"Manslaughter of Joanne Rand"
],
[
"Introduction",
"'''Joanne Rand''' (1969/70 – 14 June 2017) was a 47-year-old mother-of-three from Marlow in the English county of Buckinghamshire, who died several days after becoming the victim of an acid attack on 3 June 2017.Rand was sitting on a bench when she was sprayed with high strength sulphuric acid during a fight between Xeneral Webster, a teenager from East Acton, and another man in High Wycombe.",
"After being treated in hospital for burns, she developed septicaemia, and died from multiple organ failure eleven days later.",
"Webster was subsequently arrested and charged with Rand's murder, but pleaded guilty to manslaughter at his trial in April 2018.In July 2018 he was sentenced to 17 years in prison with an extended licence period of three years after his release.",
"The case is the first instance of a criminal conviction for an acid killing in the United Kingdom."
],
[
"Background",
"Joanne Rand, known as Jo, was born in County Durham, and was the youngest of five siblings.",
"She grew up in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, and was living in Marlow at the time of her death.",
"She was a mother-of-three, and worked at the Sir Aubrey Ward care home in Marlow, where she cared for dementia patients.",
"She was described by her family as \"hard-working and passionate about her job\", \"very bubbly and fun\" and \"outgoing\".",
"In 2011, her oldest daughter, Charlotte Pitwell, died following a car crash.",
"Charlotte was 19 at the time.Xeneral Webster was from East Acton in west London.",
"Following his conviction for Joanne Rand's manslaughter, it was reported that he was a member of the 12World gang, a street gang based in Shepherd's Bush involved in the UK drill scene, and that he was known to associates as \"The General\".",
"He also used the name Imiuru.",
"In February 2020, ''The Times'' reported that he had attempted to launch a jihadist-style attack on prison officers at HMP Winchester after being radicalised by other inmates, but that the attack had been thwarted."
],
[
"Attack",
"On the afternoon of 3 June 2017, Rand visited Charlotte's grave, then sat on a bench in the town's Frogmoor area.",
"Between 4.30pm and 4.45pm, and as she was smoking a cigarette, a fight broke out nearby, between Xeneral Webster and another man, Saqib Hussain, with whom Webster had been involved in a long-running dispute.",
"Webster, of East Acton, had travelled to High Wycombe from London to meet Hussain, and tried to steal a bicycle from him.",
"Webster produced an open bottle, held it towards the other man's face and said to him \"This is acid\".",
"Hussain then kicked the bottle from Webster's hand, sending a spray of industrial strength sulphuric acid over Rand, covering her from head to toe.",
"After realising she had been doused with the substance, and beginning to experience pain, she screamed and ran to a local fast food outlet, where she rinsed her face with water.",
"Webster placed a balaclava over his face, retrieved the empty bottle and cycled away, before catching a train back to London.",
"Rand was treated for acid burns at Stoke Mandeville Hospital and discharged.",
"Her family have described how she became afraid to go out in the days following the incident, and did not like people seeing her injuries.",
"She went on to develop septicaemia as a result of her burns, and after being readmitted to hospital, died from multiple organ failure on 14 June, eleven days after the attack."
],
[
"Arrest and trial",
"In October 2017, Webster was charged with Rand's murder, and appeared at Amersham Magistrates' Court, where he was remanded in custody.",
"His trial, at Reading Crown Court, began on 12 April 2018, and was expected to last three weeks.",
"The case was prosecuted by Allison Hunter QC and defended by Brendan Kelly QC, while Angela Morris was the presiding judge.",
"The court heard that Webster, who had previously armed himself with acid, and had also himself been the victim of an acid attack, had travelled to High Wycombe on the afternoon of 3 June to seek out Hussain over a drugs dispute.",
"The jury was shown CCTV footage of him travelling from Central London by train to Gerrards Cross, then on to High Wycombe, arriving there at around 4.00pm, before he sought out Hussain.",
"He was seen to produce a bottle from a satchel he was carrying, with the lid already open.",
"The trial was told that after the bottle was kicked from his hand, Rand, who was sitting around 13 metres from the two men, felt it hit her shin, before her face, arms and feet began to burn.",
"This resulted in her skin receiving 5% burns, and there was also significant damage to her clothing, \"with white stains across the front and a number of rips and holes\".",
"The hearing heard that a pH test on the substance confirmed a reading of minus two, which Hunter described as \"typical of a very strong acid, very corrosive and can cause severe progressive burns to the skin\".",
"A statement read to the court on behalf of plastic surgeon Dr Colin Raynor described Rand's injuries as being \"particularly to the right side of her face with widespread wounds\", suggesting the bottle must have \"struck her at considerable force to knock the amount of acid out that had caused this amount of injury\".After initially pleading \"not guilty\" to murder, Webster pleaded guilty to manslaughter six days into the proceedings.",
"In addition, he pleaded guilty to two charges of possessing an offensive weapon and a charge of affray.",
"On 18 April, the prosecution accepted his manslaughter plea, and Morris directed the jury to acquit him of the charges of murder, robbery and attempted grievous bodily harm.",
"The trial was then adjourned for sentencing.Speaking after the conviction, Adrian Foster, of the Crown Prosecution Service, explained the reasons for bringing the prosecution: \"Joanne Rand was not the intended victim of the attack, but the prosecution was brought on the basis that by producing an open bottle of acid and raising it to the face of another man, Xeneral Webster intended to cause that individual really serious harm.",
"The man fighting with Webster acted reasonably, in the circumstances, by deflecting the bottle away.",
"Webster was responsible for the death of Joanne and had he not planned to hurt the intended victim, Joanne would still be alive today.\"",

"Introduction",
"'''''Baeomyces heteromorphus''''' is a species of terricolous (ground-dwelling) lichen in the family Baeomycetaceae.",
"It has an Australasian distribution.",
"Characteristics of the lichen include its greenish-grey thallus, the pink to brownish of its apothecia (fruiting bodies), translucent spores lacking internal partitions (septa), and the presence of the secondary metabolites (lichen products) norstictic acid and connorstictic acid."
],
[
"Taxonomy",
"The lichen was first described by William Nylander.",
"Churchill Babington and William Mitten published it validly in Joseph Dalton Hooker's 1860 work ''Flora Tasmaniae'', a description of the plants and cryptogams discovered in Tasmania during the Ross expedition.",
"In 1896, Hellbom proposed the form ''rubens'', and in 1937, Veli Räsänen suggested the variety ''corymbosus''."
],
[
"Description",
"''Baeomyces heteromorphus'' is a species of lichen with a diverse and intricate structure, primarily found forming wide, expansive patches that can exceed 50 cm in width.",
"The lichen is characterised by its crustose thallus, which is the main body of the lichen, with a smooth, (wart-like), to - (cracked to slightly scaly) texture.",
"Its colour ranges from pale greyish white to greenish grey, and it often turns pale pinkish grey when stored.",
"The thallus is relatively thick, reaching up to approximately 700 μm, and spreads without a defined boundary, as it lacks a (the initial growth phase of lichens).",
"''Baeomyces heteromorphus'' does not produce or , which are common structures for asexual reproduction in many lichens.",
"Instead, it occasionally develops (fragmented pieces of the thallus), but these are typically observed only in damaged specimens.Fruiting bodies are often distinctly stalked, appearing either singly or in clusters.The (fruiting bodies) of this lichen are small, ranging from 0.1 to 3 mm in diameter.",
"They can be round, slightly raised (), or more frequently, distinctly stalked, appearing either singly or in clustered formations that resemble branches or racemes.",
"The stalks of these apothecia can grow up to 7 mm tall and may be smooth or have longitudinal grooves, with some parts near the base appearing gnarled due to thalline tissue (lichen tissue).",
"The colour of the apothecial varies from pale greyish pink to reddish brown, with its shape changing from persistently concave to flat, or even wavy to convex as it ages.",
"The surrounding rim () is paler than the disc and may become less visible in older apothecia.Internally, the lichen has a (bottom layer beneath the hymenium in apothecia) ranging from clear to pale yellowish, underlain by a thick layer of loosely interwoven fungal filaments.",
"The hymenium (the fertile, spore-bearing layer) itself is clear and is topped by a yellow-brown layer that dissolves in potassium hydroxide (K).",
"The (spore-containing structures) measure 70–95 by 5–8 μm, with (sterile filaments among the asci) being 1.5–2 μm thick.",
", the reproductive spores, vary in size from (7–)8.5 to 13(–15) by 3 to 5 μm.",
", which are asexual reproductive structures, were not observed in this species.Chemically, ''Baeomyces heteromorphus'' contains norstictic and connorstictic acids, with occasional traces of other compounds.",
"Testing reveals distinct reactions: the thallus turns yellow-red when treated with a solution of potassium hydroxide (K+), no change with calcium hypochlorite (KC–) and bleach (C–), orange with ''para''-phenylenediamine (P+), and no fluorescence under ultraviolet light (UV–).===Similar species===''Dibaeis arcuata'' is a lookalike.The frequently co-occurring yet distinct species, ''Dibaeis arcuata'', can be readily differentiated from ''Baeomyces heteromorphus'' by its lighter, greyish white thallus that produces soredia and contains baeomycesic and squamatic acids.",
"Moreover, ''Dibaeis arcuata'' is notable for its bright pink, club-shaped apothecia that lack a defined margin and are borne on a smooth, ungrooved stalk."
],
[
"Habitat and distribution",
"''Baeomyces heteromorphus'' has a broad geographical range, growing on a variety of including soil, peat, stones, and wood.",
"Its presence is particularly noted in regions with high rainfall, as well as in locally moist microhabitats, spanning from lowland areas to alpine elevations.",
"This species plays a role in ecological succession, often being among the first to colonise and stabilise newly exposed earth, such as areas disturbed by road construction, along pathways, or around the root mounds of upturned stumps.The species is commonly found across mainland Australia and New Zealand.",
"On Tasmania's Mount Wellington, it occurs in three vegetations zones: in woodlands with mixed ''Eucalyptus coccifera'' and ''Eucalytpus urnigera'' stands; in wet sclerophyll forests dominated by ''Eucalyptus delegatensis''; and in these forests dominated by ''Eucalyptus obliqua''.",
"''Baeomyces heteromorphus'' also occurs in New Guinea , and Fiji.",
"It has also been recorded from Kaikōura Island.",
"It also extends its habitat to the subantarctic region, with documented populations on Macquarie Island."
],
[
"Species interactions",
"''Baeomyces heteromorphus'' is often subject to parasitism by lichenicolous (lichen-dwelling) fungus species including ''Arthroraphis grisea'' and ''Dactylospora athallina''.",
