"Col du Chat"
],
[
"Introduction",
"The '''Col du Chat''' is a mountain pass located in France, in the commune of La Chapelle-du-Mont-du-Chat, in the French department of Savoie in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.",
"It crosses the Mont du Chat in the Jura Mountains, overlooking Lac du Bourget opposite the town of Aix-les-Bains.Although it has never been crossed by a main transalpine route, the pass has been crossed by a road since ancient times, and its use has often gone beyond the strictly local, at least until the Chat tunnel was opened: Montaigne, for example, used it on his way back from Italy.",
"Today, it is used mainly by tourists, as a climb for cyclists, or as a starting point for hikes to Mont du Chat.Because of the region's particular flora and fauna, the pass is located within the perimeter of and close to natural zones of ecological, faunal and floristic interest and Natura 2000 reserves.",
"The pass is open all year round, with no winter shutdowns."
],
[
"Toponymy",
"The Col du Chat is also known as Col du Mont-du-Chat or Col de Chevelu.The first known instance of the name Mont du Chat appears in 1209; older texts refer to it as ''mons munitus'' or ''mons Munni''.",
"It first appears in the Latin forms ''mons Catus'', ''mons Catti'' or ''montem Cati'', then ''montem'' du Chat at the end of the 15th century.In his toponymic study of the Franco-Provençal linguistic zone, G. R. Wipf, after listing a (non-exhaustive) collection of hypotheses on the toponymy of the mountain, the dent and the Col du Chat, tentatively concludes that \"the least we can say is that this is a contested toponym\".",
"He returns to the subject later in the book, devoting five pages to it.=== The word \"''chat''\" taken literally ===A first thesis links the name of the range and pass to the legend of the ''Chapalu'', a \"well-known Savoyard legend\" according to Wipf.",
"Supported in the work of medievalists and folklorists, this interpretation has little support among linguists.",
"Alphonse Gros assumes that the legend \"was only invented to provide an explanation for this curious designation.\"",
"Wipf, without believing in this explanation either, cannot follow it: insofar as the encounter with the chapalu appears in the Arthurian cycle, where it is supposed to take place near \"Lac de Lausanne\", it is not an ''ad hoc'' construction developed around Lac du Bourget.Dauzat and Rostaing, for their part, explain the name of the mountain's \"''dent du Chat''\" by its shape, which they believe evokes that of a cat's canine.",
"Wipf is not convinced either, as his own visual impression of the mountain hardly evokes a feline feature.=== A Franco-Provençal word ===For his part, Henri Jaccard considers the Franco-Provençal word ''sya'', meaning saw.",
"He notes the existence of a 1582 source in which the Col du Chat is called \"la Sciaz\", and links this to the names of places in the Vaud Alps, where the toponymy is explained by the presence of a ridge evoking the teeth of a saw.=== Personal names ===The deformation of people's proper names has been suggested.",
"Without dwelling on this possibility, Gros points out that similar-sounding names can be found in charters from the south-east of France: ''Dominus Rodulfus Cati'' or even ''Johannes dictus Chat''.",
"André Palluel-Guillard, referring to \"other scholars\" with no further details, refers to the Catulli, a family name that appears on two inscriptions preserved in the Bourget crypt.The version supported by Gros is a variant of the previous one: the mountain takes its name from the hamlet of Chevelu (formerly ''Chavelu''), a hamlet whose toponymy he in turn explains by the nickname ''Capillutis'' of an inhabitant with a remarkable hair.=== A Celtic root ===Two hypotheses refer to Gallic deities: referring to \"Joanne\", Palluel-Guillard evokes a deformation of Thuat, a spelling of the name of the god Teutates.",
"A second, undoubtedly more serious, is Wipf's mention of the possibility of a common root between \"Chat\" and \"Chambéry\", both of which could derive from the name of the legendary king Caturix.The hypothesis favored by Wipf is derivation from a Celtic root ''car'' or ''cal'', designating mountain in pre-Celtic languages.",
"In his view, this root can be found in many Savoyard names, particularly that of Chamonix; this latter connection makes sense, as Wipf also believes he can distinguish a common Celtic root ''moniz'', also designating mountain, in the ancient name of Mont du Chat (''mons Munitus'') and the name \"Chamonix.\"",
"Gros, for his part, explains ''mons Munitus'' by a Latin etymology: a ''via munita'' or ''iter munitum'', designating a road or path that required development.Finally, referring to \"Mailland\", Palluel-Guillard suggests a derivation from the Celtic root ''chai'', designating a fight or ambush."

[
"Geography",
"=== Location ===View of Lac du Bourget and the town of Aix-les-Bains from the pass road.The Col du Chat lies at an altitude of 638 metres.",
"It separates the Mont du Chat, at 1,496 meters above sea level, to the south-southwest, with the Cornillon rock immediately above the pass at around 250 meters, from the Mont de la Charvaz, at 1,158 meters above sea level, to the north.",
"The pass overlooks Lac du Bourget, one kilometer to the east on the Savoie Propre side, by over 400 meters.",
"To the west, it overlooks the Rhône valley by more than 300 meters, on the Savoyard Foreland slope.",
"It lies 1.5 kilometers north-west of Bourdeau, which it overlooks by more than 330 meters, and 2 kilometers south-south-west of La Chapelle-du-Mont-du-Chat, a village set on the edge of the anticline that overlooks Lac du Bourget by more than 400 meters.",
"It lies 1.5 kilometers above the village of Saint-Jean-de-Chevelu, 320 meters below the pass to the west-northwest.",
"The Chat tunnel passes under the mountain 500 metres from the pass, to the south-south-west.=== Geology ===View of Mont du Chat, with the pass visible and easy to spot at the \"V\", the lowest point.The pass is cut into the Kimmeridgian limestone of the Mont du Chat.",
"Its bedrock is crossed by a northwest–southeast fault, called the Col du Chat fault, which runs transversely to the anticline.",
"This fault is visible from Saint-Jean-de-Chevelu to Lac du Bourget.",
"It shifts the Cretaceous strata some 500 m to the northeast, suggesting the presence of a detachment.",
"However, cartographic data show no displacement of the Jurassic strata at the level of the fault, and only a very slight displacement at the level of the Mont du Chat fault, crossed by the Col du Chat fault at the western base of the anticline, 1 km north-west of the Col du Chat.",
"The thinness of the Urgonian limestones beneath the first Miocene marine transgression layers at Bourdeau, in contrast to the thicker limestones to the north of the fault at the eastern base of the anticline on the edge of Lac du Bourget, suggests that the fault was formed during the uplift of the Jura at the same period, resulting in a difference in uplift between Mont de la Charvaz and Mont du Chat.",
"The pass was then formed by erosion, before the Miocene marine transgression.Erosion of the pass was accentuated during glacial periods and its low altitude, compared to that of neighbouring peaks, allowed the Isère glacier to pass through, as did the Col de l'Épine, during the last glaciation and the formation of the Lyon glacial lobe.=== Climate ===The mountain climate of the Col du Chat is slightly milder due to the nearby Lac du Bourget, which moderates the Aix region.",
"Two weather stations are located nearby: station no.",
"73008003 at Aix-les-Bains, 3km to the east, and station no.",
"73051001 at Mont du Chat, 4km to the south.=== Fauna and flora ===The Col du Chat is located in a closed forest zone.",
"The south-facing slope of the pass is populated by beech trees, while the north-facing slope is populated by various deciduous trees associated with conifers in the western part.The cavities on the western slopes of the pass are home to several different species of bat, including the barbastelle, the grey long-eared and the greater horseshoe, Europe's largest ''Rhinolophus'' species.",
"Bird species recorded in the vicinity of the pass include the European nightjar, the Short-toed Eagle, the peregrine falcon, the Woodlark, the European Bee-eater and the Eurasian scops owl.",
"Insects are represented by the great capricorn beetle, southern damselfly and the dusky large blue."

[
"History and heritage",
"=== Gallo-Roman period ===The Col du Chat was probably already a passageway in Gallic times, if not earlier.",
"Several scholars, such as Albanis Beaumont, Jean André Deluc and John Antony Cramer around 1800, and later the historian Theodor Mommsen, hypothesized that the pass was used by Hannibal to cross the Alps on his way to Italy; this outdated thesis has now been invalidated.A network of Roman roads gradually opened up conquered Gaul.",
"The route of the Praetorian road, which linked Vienne to Milan via the Little St Bernard Pass and crossed the Épine-Chat range above a mysterious ''Labisco'' about halfway between ''Augustum'' (now Aosta, at the confluence of the Rhône and Guiers rivers) and ''Lemencum'' (now Lémenc, a district of Chambéry), is not precisely known.",
"However, it is known that it did not cross the range at the Col du Chat, but at a point further south.",
"Although the Col du Chat was not on the transalpine route, it was nevertheless crossed by a \"vicinale\" road, a more local route for commercial traffic, with a width of around four meters, as opposed to the six meters used by the \" Praetorian\" roads.Roman remains were visible on the pass until the mid-19th century; only a few lapidary inscriptions remained, but these have been preserved.",
"These remains are attested to by several travel reports.",
"Alphonse d'Elbène, abbot of Hautecombe, wrote at the end of the 16th century:More recently, Albanis Beaumont and Prefect refer to a \"temple to Mercury.\"",
"Contemporary archaeologists are not as assertive as these travelers of two hundred years ago, and the nature of this lost structure is a matter of debate: while it is indeed possible that it was a temple to Mercury (or to Mercury and Mars), others think it was a stopover on the way to the pass.",
"In this second hypothesis, the inscriptions would have come from a simple oratory inside the stopover.An excavation campaign led by J.-B.",
"Mercier, from 1935 to 1937, uncovered the remains of several small houses near the pass, containing eight skeletons, clearly the victims of assailants, and a few coins from the 4th century.",
"A second campaign, led by Claude Duc in 1939, uncovered a larger treasure trove of 240 coins from the 2nd and 4th centuries, some 100 metres from the hamlet.=== From the Middle Ages to the early 19th century ===After the year 1000, the main route over the Épine-Chat chain was the Col Saint-Michel, between Aiguebelette and Cognin, which is almost 300 meters higher than the Col du Chat.",
"Nevertheless, other travellers report crossing the Col du Chat, so the traffic is not just local.",
"In 1395, the Seigneur d'Anglure mentioned it in his (Holy Journey to Jerusalem).",
"In 1581, Michel de Montaigne, the most famous tourist ever to cross the Col du Chat, on his return from Italy:In 1588, Seigneur de Villamont, who had used the Col Saint-Michel on his outward journey, also returned from Italy via the Col du Chat.",
"In 1595, he published his travel memories, which were to be reprinted ten times.",
"Like Montaigne, he recognized that the route was not too difficult, but was not entirely reassuring:At this time, the road from the pass to Chambéry did not follow the contemporary route along the lake, but descended more gradually, passing La Serraz Castle, Bissy Castle and Cognin.Around 1670, King Charles Emmanuel II had a new road built between France and , via Les Échelles and the Col de Couz.",
"The concurrent passes, Col Saint-Michel and Col du Chat, were no longer properly maintained and were deteriorating.",
"In 1807, Verneilh, Prefect of Mont-Blanc, reported that the route via the Col du Chat had become \"impassable for driving in several places.",
"\"=== Modern route ===It was in 1823 that the construction of a real road through the pass was initiated, to become \"route provinciale no 5\".",
"The engineers and Negretti were entrusted with the management of this project, and they did more than simply renovate the existing road: they created a new road with gentler slopes, supported by remarkable raw stone retaining walls with no cement joints.By 1848, the new road was up and running.",
"A stagecoach service via the Col du Chat left Chambéry at 2 p.m. and reached La Balme at 6.30 p.m.: a four-and-a-half-hour journey covering less than thirty kilometers.",
"By replacing the light stagecoaches with thirteen-seater carriages pulled by four horses, the journey time was reduced to three hours, but this innovation only remained in service for ten months.",
"On the eve of the First World War, road service over the Col du Chat was still provided by a four-seater patache pulled by a single horse.After the annexation of Savoie in 1861, the integration of the range's different routes into the French road network reflected their hierarchy: while the Col de Couz, the main route to Lyon, became an \"imperial road\", the Col du Chat became a \"departmental road\", while the other crossings of the mountains that remained passable (Col de l'Épine, Col du Crucifix) were only \" medium communication roads\", of local interest.At the end of the 19th century, there was already mention of further modernization of the route.",
"In 1881, Victor Barlet, mayor of Saint-Jean-de-Chevelu and general councillor for Yenne, proposed digging a tunnel.",
"At the same time, engineer Maurice Mollard proposed the construction of a rack railway.",
"A law passed in 1907 declared the construction of a funicular railway between the port of Bourdeau and the Col du Chat to be of public interest.",
"In the end, it was the road project that came to fruition: funds were voted in 1928, work began and the Col du Chat tunnel was inaugurated in 1932, relieving the pass of traffic other than tourist or very local traffic.From the mid-19th century to the Second World War, the proximity of the Aix-les-Bains Spa town made the Col du Chat a popular excursion destination.",
"Several hotels and restaurants offered views of Lac du Bourget and excursions were organized for tourists.",
"On July 11, 1937, President Albert Lebrun, who was on an official trip to Savoie, paid a \"private escapade\" visit - he had breakfast on the terrace of the Col du Chat hotel - and in July 1943, Jean Giono stayed at the same hotel, where he wrote the play .=== Heritage ===Oratory of N.-D. de Bon Secours.An oratory dedicated to Notre-Dame de Bon Secours stands on the roadside at the pass.",
"It is built of ashlar and comprises a parallelepiped-shaped pedestal topped by a cornice on which is placed the grilled niche housing the statue of Notre-Dame de Bon Secours, itself topped by a small iron cross.",
"The whole is preceded by three steps.Between 1830 and 1944, a cement stone quarry, the remains of which can be seen 50 m east of the summit, was operated on the Col du Chat."
],
[
"Activities",
"=== Tourism ===Nowadays, the Col du Chat is used more for tourism, with a parking lot built 100 m along the road to Le Bourget-du-Lac at the start of hikes to the Dent du Chat and trails to the via ferrata and climbing site.",
"Many hikers use it to reach the summit of the Dent du Chat via the normal route, of which the col is the start.At least until the late 1980s, the Col du Chat was on the route of the GR 9 long-distance hiking trail, which followed the crest of the Charve, Chat and Épine ranges.",
"It was the southern starting point of the GR 59, which split off from the GR 9 at this point.300 m south of the pass, beneath the Cornillon rock, is a via ferrata, inaugurated on November 17, 2007, whose difficulty ranges from PD+ to AD+.",
"Climbing is also possible on a cliff 400 m to the south-east below the pass, rated very difficult with levels ranging from 6b to 8b+.",
"The pass provides access to a number of nearby villages and hamlets in the Mont du Chat heights.=== Cycling ===View from the Col du Chat towards Yenne.The 2011 Critérium du Dauphiné passed over the Col du Chat, then classified as a 2nd category climb from Le Bourget-du-Lac, on stage 4 La Motte-Servolex-Mâcon.",
"French rider Jérémy Roy was the first to reach the summit, just a few weeks before winning the Combativity Award at the 2011 Tour de France.",
"The pass was again on the Critérium program in 2015, on stage 2, which started from Bourget-du-Lac.",
"Eritrean rider Daniel Teklehaimanot (MTN-Qhubeka), the event's future best climber, took the lead.It is crossed by the Préalpes - Day 4 cycle touring route from Yenne to Rumilly via Chanaz.",
"It is also crossed by four other Savoie cycle tourism routes: cyclo route 53 from Aix-les-Bains to Bourget-du-Lac, 50km long and classified as an athletic route; cyclo route 56 ''Tour de l'Épine'', an 88km loop around the Épine anticline, starting and finishing in Chambéry, classified as an athletic route; cyclo route 57 , starting and finishing in Chambéry via the Col de l'Épine and the Col du Chat, 54km long, classified as an athletic course; and cyclo route 58 , starting in Chambéry and finishing in Bourget-du-Lac passing through the Mont du Chat ascent and the Col du Chat, 62km long, also classified as an athletic course.=== Environmental protection ===The Col du Chat lies at the heart of the type II ''Zone naturelle d'intérêt écologique, faunistique et floristique'' (ZNIEFF) (no.",
"7303), which encompasses the entire anticline complex.",
"This zone is of great botanical interest due to the presence of forest habitats such as neutrophilous beech forests, one of which is located a few hundred meters north of the pass.",
"Mediterranean-type species are also found here, such as dyer's sumach, and other species of great interest such as anthora, which forms on exposed scree slopes.",
"The area is also characterized by the presence of mountain species at particularly low altitudes, as well as Alpine and Jura species at the limits of their range.",
"It is a breeding and feeding ground for a variety of species and forms an ecological corridor linking the Jura massif with the sub-alpine massifs.The pass is also located at the southern end of the ZNIEFF type I (no.",
"73030005), which encompasses the summit and the entire western slope of the Charvaz mountain.",
"The exposure of this slope has led to the development of drought-adapted environments, the protection of which is a European issue in the 21st century.",
"400 m west of the pass, on the edge of the road leading down to the Rhône valley, lie the former Pommaret quarries, also classified as a type I ZNIEFF (no.",
"73030006).",
"Covering an area of 1.35 ha, the cavities are home to numerous bat species.400 m north of the pass lies the southern end of the site of Community interest known as the ''Avant-Pays Savoyard network of wetlands, grasslands, moors and cliffs'', proposed for creation in April 2002 over an area of 3,156 ha, and the Avant-Pays Savoyard special protection area, classified since April 2006 over an area of 3,125 ha.",
"These two classified areas are part of the Natura 2000 network.",
"Their perimeters are virtually identical, and some areas extend to the foot of the pass, 2 km west of the summit."

[
"Popular culture",
"View of the Dent du Chat, with part of the winding road leading to the Col du Chat on the left of the Dent.The Cat's Tooth is attached to a popular legend originating in , part of the Vulgate cycle of Arthurian legend, which features the monstrous feline ''Chapalu''.",
"A fisherman on Lake Geneva who fails to catch a single fish promises to offer his first catch to God, and breaks his word.",
"He reels in a small black cat on the third catch, and offers it to his children.",
"The animal becomes monstrous, and he releases it into the mountains.",
"The cat then devours the fisherman's entire family, and attacks the travellers.",
"It is finally killed by Arthur, who provokes it with Merlin's help.",
"Pouncing on the king, the Chapalu is slaughtered.Local folklore has variations on this story, in which the cat's death is attributed to two brothers who attack him with a war machine and finish him off with a cutlass, or to a soldier from Le Bourget, who kills him with an arquebus.",
"Similarly, the Lac du Bourget replaces the old location.",
"From the 14th century onwards, the creature was described as entrenched in a large cave, and from the 16th century onwards, King Arthur's legendary battle was moved to Mont du Chat.",
"The name of the mountain, known since 1232, would attest to the fixation of the legend.",
"In 1619, the Franciscan Jacques Fodéré recopied the legend as a cat the size of a tiger, and introduced Arthur's two brother knights, Berius and Melianus.",
"At the end of the nineteenth century, Émile Freymond collected popular traditions relating to this legend.",
"He was told by the elders of the Savoyard region that the cat devoured one in ten or one in twenty travellers from a cave near the pass, and that a knight or soldier who was the tenth to pass killed it.",
"The mention of this \"big cat\" in Savoy may have been popularized by the actual presence of the lynx until recently."

"Eriococcus orariensis"
],
[
"Introduction",
"'''''Eriococcus orariensis''''', commonly known as the '''Mānuka blight''', is a felt scale insect in the genus ''Eriococcus''.",
"It is native to Australia, but was discovered in Aotearoa New Zealand in 1937 after being occidentally introduced to the country."
],
[
"Description",
"To identify and differentiate ''Eriococcus orariensis'' from similar ''Eriococcus'' species a microscope is needed.",
"''E.",
"orariensis'' is sexually dimorphic.",
"Adult females are typically light brown and an oval shape that tapers towards the anal lobes.",
"Adult females lack wings and average 1.25mm in length and 0.84mm in width.",
"Their antennae are six-segmented, the third segment being the longest.",
"Female egg sacs are also greyish-white, closely felted, and open towards the anal end.",
"''Eriococcus orariensis'' female dorsal (upper) and ventral (lower) body surfaces are membranous and irregularly covered in small, inconspicuous, bristle-like structures called setae; although the setae extend in semi-regular rows along the abdominal segments.",
"There is no noticeable marginal fringe of setae on the dorsum, again excepting the distinct abdominal segments.",
"A small number of quinquelocular sessile pores exist on the ventral abdominal segments in association with respiratory openings called spiracles.",
"Contrastingly, long tubular ducts ending in cup-shaped pores cover the dorsum in moderate numbers, also concentrating on abdominal segments.",
"''Eriococcus orariensis'' female anal lobes are cylindrical for two-thirds their length before tapering towards the base of much longer caudal (tail-like) setae.",
"A prominent feature used to differentiate ''E.",
"orariensis'' from other ''Eriococcus'' species in a key created by the entomologist, Dr James Mather Hoy, are three dorsal setae on the anal lobe: two towards the base and one two-thirds the distance up towards the inner margin.",
"The anal ring has eight setae.",
"Legs in both mature sexes are well developed, but relatively small for the species' size.",
"Back leg tarsi are longer than tibiae.",
"Curved claws at the end of each leg have a small tooth-like projection.",
"''Eriococcus orariensis'' adult males are smaller than females, averaging 0.84mm in length.",
"They are typically reddish-yellow with an abdominal spike and a pair of long filaments extending from the second to last abdominal segment.",
"They have iridescent wings fringed with hairs, and halteres with a hook-like projection called a hamulus.",
"Male puparia are oval, white, cottony and not as closely felted as females.",
"Male antennae are ten-segmented with many setae, but the third segment is also longest.",
"They have four light-detecting organs called ocelli: two close together on the mid-ventral surface, and two on the lateral margins.",
"Adult males also have no mouthparts.",
"Their legs are very setose, with a longer spine-like seta on each tibia.The first instar nymphs of ''Eriococcus orariensis'' are pale pink or brown, with an average a 0.37mm length and 0.17mm width.",
"They are most similar to adult females, with slight differences.",
"For example, nymph anal lobes are more cone-like, their dorsal abdominal setae are more spine-like and arranged in rows lengthwise, and they only have six setae on their anal ring."
],
[
"Range",
"=== Natural global range ===''Eriococcus orariensis'' is native to Australia.",
"There they are widely distributed through Southern and Eastern Australia, including Tasmania, but populations exist in low numbers there due to an abundance of natural predators and parasitoid species=== Aotearoa New Zealand range ===''Eriococcus orariensis'' was first discovered in Aotearoa New Zealand in 1937 at Orari Gorge, Canterbury.",
"It was introduced from Australia, but exactly when and how is unknown.",
"The most likely theory is that it was accidentally introduced on imported ornamental ''Leptospermum scoparium'' (Mānuka) plant material.Initially, ''Eriococcus orariensis'' appeared restricted to Orari Gorge, with a slow spread through surrounding Geraldine through the 1940s.",
"However, in the late 1940s-50s ''E.",
"orariensis'' was deliberately spread to farms across the country due to its ability to kill mānuka within years of attack, which was considered a major pasture weed at the time.",
"By 1954 it was widespread through mānuka populations on both main islands, likely aided by its release from natural enemies only found in Australia.Today, although exact distributions of ''Eriococcus orariensis'' in Aotearoa New Zealand are unknown, it appears their population has been dramatically reduced in range to several sites in Nelson, Otago, Fiordland, and the West Coast, and replaced by the scale insects ''Acanthococcus campbelli'' (Hoy) and ''Acanthococcus leptospermi'' (Maskell).",
"This is likely due to parasitism by the entomogenous fungi, ''Angatia thwaitesii'' Petch, 1924, discovered in Aotearoa New Zealand in 1957."
],
[
"Habitat",
"''Eriococcus orariensis'' is host-specific to six species of ''Leptospermum'' plants in Australia.",
"In Aotearoa it is only found on ''Leptospermum scoparium'' (mānuka) and ''Kunzea ericoides'' (kānuka - previously ''Leptospermum ericoides'').",
"It can survive in all places those trees grow, but consistently establishes at higher rates on mānuka, as mānuka bark does not exfoliate in papery sheets like kānuka does, so offers many more establishing sites for the insect.",
"''E.",
"orariensis'' occupies the specific niche of mānuka bark crevices in trunks and branches to avoid competition with other scale insects like ''Eriococcus leptospermi'' which occupies new plant growth.",
"While male puparia sacs tend to cover the surface of sooty mold and bark on mānuka plants, female egg sacs and early ''E.",
"orariensis'' stages tend to stay sheltered under the bark."
],
[
"Ecology",
"===Life cycle===''Eriococcus orariensis'' eggs are laid around February in Aotearoa inside a sac that the female produces around herself.",
"A single egg is laid approximately every eight hours, until an average of 47 eggs are laid per female, although females often die before all eggs are laid.",
"Typically, eggs hatch within 15 minutes of being laid, regardless of external factors.",
"Nymphs then remain inactive for a variable period, depending on environmental temperatures.",
"If air temperatures are above 21 °C, nymphs will begin rapidly moving across the host plant surface 20 minutes after hatching in search of a feeding site.",
"Using their antennae to feel the bark surface, this search can take hours to days until the nymph finds a suitable crevice to wedge itself into and insert its mouthparts.First-stage nymphs do not tend to travel once attached to a feeding site.",
"They feed and grow for several months until they increase by about 1.7x in length and 1.9x in width.",
"The feeding period can vary depending on when nymphs hatch, but is finished by September.",
"When finished, nymphs remove their mouthparts from the host plant.If female, within 2–3 days of finishing the feeding period around September, the nymph will moult and an intermediate female stage will emerge and reinsert its mouthparts to continue feeding and growing within 6–8 hours.",
"They do not usually travel, unless the plant material in their crevice has dried out.",
"Around October they moult again, and an adult female emerges, reinserts their mouthparts within 6 hours, and continues feeding.When male nymphs finish the feeding period, second stage males travel across the host plant to find a site to build a puparium.",
"They appear to prefer sheltered sites like bark crevices, but can settle on any surface if a plant is overly populated.",
"Puparium sacs are completed from waxy filaments excreted from dorsal tubular ducts 4–6 days after a site is found.",
"Prepupa emerge 2–3 days after completion and adult males emerge between October–January.Mating occurs October–January.",
"Males may mate multiple times, but do not feed, so die within days.",
"Females only mate once, so only one generation occurs per year.",
"Within two hours of fertilisation, females drastically increase production of waxy threads from their sessile pores and tubular ducts, encasing themselves in a sac within 4–6 days, ready for egg laying.===Diet and foraging===''Eriococcus orariensis'' is host-specific to a small number of plant species, only feeding on ''Leptospermum scoparium'' (mānuka) and ''Kunzea ericoides'' (kānuka) in Aotearoa, and several other ''Leptospermum'' species in Australia.",
"''E.",
"orariensis'' are sap feeders for several life cycle stages, the most important being the feeding stage of first-stage nymphs.",
"Once a suitable feeding site is found, the nymph will wedge itself firmly into the crevice.",
"It then inserts its piercing, sucking mouthparts into the plant tissue, arching its body and thrusting forwards to push itself deeper.",
"It then feeds in the sap stream for several months, staying in the same spot.",
"Because plant sap is mainly sugar, the insects must feed continuously to get required nutrients like nitrogen and excrete excess sugar through their anal opening.",
"Intermediate-stage and adult females also feed continuously in this manner, usually not moving from the feeding site they selected as nymphs.",
"Adult males do not feed again, as they lack mouthparts after emerging from their puparium.===Predators, parasites, and diseases===Despite initial devastation of ''Eriococcus orariensis'' on mānuka populations across Aotearoa, its numbers plummeted from the late 1950s onwards, following the likely accidental introduction of the entomogenous fungi, ''Angatia thwaitesii'', from Australia.",
"Once fungal mycelia enter the insect, they quickly grow through the body and kill the insect, using up its nutrients until a black mass of hyphae remain.",
"All insect life stages are vulnerable to ''A.",
"thwaitesii'', although adult females are attacked most frequently.",
"Interestingly, ''A.",
"thwaitesii'' is likely a specific pathogen of ''E.",
"orariensis'' as no other ''Eriococcus'' species in Aotearoa New Zealand or Australia are attacked.",
"This partially explains why species like ''E.",
"campbelli'' and ''E.",
"leptospermi'' have replaced ''E.",
"orariensis'' as successful mānuka scale insects nationwide.The Australian ladybeetle, ''Rhyzobius ventralis'' Erichson, 1843, also predates ''Eriococcus oraiensis'', however, it is mainly associated with the gum tree scale, ''Eriococcus coriaceus''.",
"As a result, its effect on ''E.",
"oraiensis'' is minimal."
],
[
"Cultural uses",
"Perhaps the most interesting thing about ''Eriococcus orariensis'', apart from its drastic population bottleneck associated with ''Angatia thwaitesii'', is the lengths people took to spread a known plant blight.",
"When ''E.",
"orariensis'' was first noted in the late 1930s, mānuka trees died within several years of insect invasion.",
"By the late 1940s, it was supposedly hard to find live mānuka anywhere in South Canterbury.",
"This was because large, uncontrolled populations of ''E.",
"orariensis'' remove too many nutrients for a tree to survive.",
"Additionally, their sugar excretions promote the growth of the sooty mold, ''Capnodium walteri'' Sacc, 1893, which reduces plant photosynthetic capacity.Far from causing concern as the discovery of a new blight might today, ''Eriococcus orariensis'' was quickly and widely adopted by farmers to remove mānuka, which was perceived as a pesky, economically damaging weed.",
"The New Zealand Department of Scientific and Industrial Research even suggested \"mānuka blight\" was the most efficient biological control of a plant ever seen in Aotearoa Infected material was frantically sold, distributed via post, and even aerial dropped in the North Island."

"Alfonso Almasqué"
],
[
"Introduction",
"'''Alfonso Almasqué Domènech''' (23 September 1883 – 5 June 1960) was a Spanish journalist and footballer who played as a midfielder for FC Barcelona.",
"He is the older brother of Alberto Almasqué, who also played for Barcelona, and in doing so, they became the first Catalan brothers in the club's history."
],
[
"Early life",
"Almasqué was born on 23 September 1883 in Sant Sadurní d'Anoia, Barcelona, as the son of Alfonso Alberto Almasqué Irigoyen (1858–97) and Rosa de Lima Domenech Sagristá (1864–1940).",
"He was the first of five children, including one brother, Alberto, four years his junior.They lived their childhood and adolescence in Switzerland, where they studied, and the country in which Alfonso learned about football and joined the ranks of ''Etica'' (Ethics) club in the city of Zürich, where he also practiced other sports such as tennis and skating.",
"When Almasqué finished his studies in 1901, he and his younger brother returned to Barcelona, where Alberto continued his studies."
],
[
"Playing career",
"When Almasqué returned to Barcelona, he joined the ranks of his hometown club, FC Barcelona, and as a result, his brother followed him through, and they both became members of the club's reserve/second team, which had been created by Luis de Ossó in 1900.Almasqué made his official competitive debut for Barça in the 1901–02 Copa Macaya on 1 January, in the thrashing of Club Universitari (8–0) at Horta, where the surface was clay, which was common at the time.",
"Throughout that season, however, Almasqué, who was 18 years old, was a regular in the Barça second team, in which he scored a total of four goals.",
"The press of the time defines him as a versatile player, \"playing excellently both in defense, in the middle and as a striker\".His younger brother Alberto made his official competitive debut for Barça in the 1902–03 Copa Macaya on 30 November, at the age of 13 years, 11 months and 6 days, thus becoming the youngest footballer to debut with the first team in any official competition; however, some historians and sources remain doubtful about the veracity of this, suggesting that Alfonso could have been the one who played this match.At the beginning of the 20th century, many families had several footballers in the Barça first team, such as the English Witty (Arthur and Ernest), Parsons (John and William), and St. Noble, as well as the Filipinos Morris (Samuel, Enrique, and Miguel), but only the Almasqués have gone down in history as the first Catalan brothers of the entity.",
"In order to distinguish them in the match chronicles, the Barcelona press dubbed them as Almasqué I (Alfonso) and Almasqué II (Alberto), which was common at the time.",
"Between 1902 and 1909, the Almasqués played just 40 games with Barça's first team, but only four were competitive and official (two each), corresponding to the Copa Macaya, the Copa Barcelona and the Catalan championship.",
"Following the 1901–02 Copa Macaya, Almasqué I's second official match with Barça was at the 1902–03 Barcelona Cup, scoring once in a 3–1 over Irish FC.",
"Barcelona ended up winning both tournaments, and although his contribution to both of those titles was limited to a single match, he was nonetheless a part of the squad and thus a two-time title winner.Almasqué then played for Català FC in 1904 and, again, occasionally, for Barcelona.",
"He also played one season with the Universitari Sport Club, and one match with the Catalan national team in 1904."
],
[
"Later life",
"Almasqué continued to be linked to the world of sport, but through journalism, being one of the founders and editor of ''Mundo Deportivo'' in 1906, where he was already in charge of the football section in the inaugural editorial, and where he wrote sports chronicles during the first years.",
"Between 1908 and 1909 he combined journalism with the presidency of the Spanish Jiu-Jitsu Club, a club that would eventually lead to the refounding of RCD Espanyol, and the vice presidency of the Catalan Football Federation, whose president Juli Marial had been his teammate at Barcelona.He collaborated with the newspaper intermittently until 1936, since he was an advertising advisor and consultant for the Nestlé company, in which his brother was a director in Chile and Bolivia (1916–1920), and in Cuba (1921–1931), so Almasqué had to travel constantly, especially to South America, thus living abroad for many years.",
"In the 1930s he wrote again for ''Mundo Deportivo'' under the pseudonym of '''Alfonso de Fleury''', where he commented on Sunday's matches with his own personal touch.",
"When the Spanish Civil War broke out in 1936, Almasqué moved to Switzerland.",
"He returned to writing for ''Mundo Deportivo'' occasionally between 1948 and 1950, and published his last articles on the occasion of the 1950 FIFA World Cup in Brazil."

"Line 119 in the 1378 manuscript states that the towns of Baztán, where Doña María Ramírez de Medrano's husband was from, along with Entrena, Medrano, and Fuenmayor, were all part of the jurisdiction or domain of María's hospital of San Juan de Acre.=== Origin of Patronage and Flag ===María's commandery for her hospital was founded two years prior to the siege of Jerusalem in 1187.Fuenmayor's connection to this hospital may explain the origin of the patronage of Saint John and its flag in Fuenmayor, the \"Pendón de San Juan,\" featuring the Maltese cross.",
"The Order, founded as the Military and Hospitaller Order of Saint John of Jerusalem in the 11th century, later relocated to Acre after the loss of the Holy Land to Saladin in 1187.Subsequently, it moved to Rhodes and eventually to Malta.=== 1373 Manuscript: legal proceedings ===The oldest document preserved in the Municipal Archive is a manuscript dated 1373, detailing the rights and duties of the residents of Fuenmayor and other towns in the Hospital of San Juan de Acre, founded by María Ramírez de Medrano, one of Fuenmayor's most important residents in 1185.=== Contents of the manuscript ===This manuscript is a copy made by the scribe Diego López of the proceedings conducted by Fray Miguel Sánchez and Fray Pascual, commander and prior respectively of the monastery of Buradón in the province of Burgos.",
"It discusses the \"''liberties, franchises, good practices, and customs''\" of the hospital established by Doña María Ramírez de Medrano, as well as the ruling issued by the prior of the Order of Saint John in the kingdoms of Castile and León regarding the maintenance of these privileges and rights.In its 120 lines, the document contains copies of statements and testimonies related to the lawsuit, along with other matters concerning the topic, and finally, the rulings that were issued.",
"From these declarations and inquiries emerge the rights and privileges of the hospital, which the ruling commands to be upheld \"''now and for all time, according to the best and most comprehensive understanding contained in said inquiries''.",
"\"=== Exemption of the hospital of San Juan de Acre and donations to the Order of Saint John ===Witnesses testified under oath about the appointments and operations of the hospital founded by Doña María Ramírez de Medrano.",
"María's hospital enjoyed exemption due to her donations to the prior of San Juan de Acre and the Order of Saint John.",
"When Doña María Ramírez de Medrano, Lady of Fuenmayor, built the said hospital on her own land, she made it exempt from any jurisdiction and servitude for the purpose of providing charity and supporting the commander and convent, and so that the prior serving at the time of the Order of Saint John in Castile could outfit the friars with habits and crosses, as she had granted this order the district or bailiwick of San Salvador in Logroño.",
"In the document preserved in the Municipal Archive, it can be read that Doña María Ramírez de Medrano founded the \"hospital and house\" on her own lands for \"''hospitality and for the command and provision of the friars and nuns who lived there'',\" and so that it would not depend on the Prior of Castile, the founder María donated to the Order of Saint John her properties in Logroño, in the \"''San Salvador neighborhood, from the new wall to the old wall with the churches of San Salvador and San Blas''\" (the old wall could correspond to the current calle Portales, formerly called \"Rúa de Las Tiendas\") and her possessions in Varea and Lardero.",

"Medrano, commanders of the hospital of San Juan de Acre",
"Fuenmayor was one of the towns, along with Entrena, Medrano, and the Valle de Baztan (from where Doña María and her husband came), that paid for the maintenance of María's hospital with their tithes, which gave them the right to choose the commander who directed it.",
"The Medrano family held the position of commanders of the hospital of San Juan de Acre for many years.The selection of the Commander was a joint decision made by \"''us, the members of the convent residing in the hospital''\" and by the \"''locals''\" (residents of the towns associated with the hospital), who had the authority to remove the commander from office if he failed to fulfill his duties adequately.",
"This commander, upon assuming office, would pledge not to violate \"''your privileges, freedoms, customs, and traditions,''\" with the understanding that failure to uphold these principles would result in his removal from office, allowing for the appointment of a successor chosen by the community.",
"Should the Prior of Castile fail to meet these expectations, the hospital retained the right to appropriate the revenues from the bailiwick of Logroño (the properties entrusted to him by the founder María Ramírez de Medrano to exempt the hospital).=== Commander Don Ruy de Medrano ===In the 1373 Manuscript, witnesses testified under oath and confirmed that individuals, including those from Baztán, Entrena, Medrano, and Fuenmayor, appointed the friar Ruy de Medrano as commander of the hospital.",
"He became commander when Gonzalo, who served as commander in the hospital, passed away, and Ruy de Medrano was appointed as commander by the convent and the locals.",
"Later, due to mismanagement of resources, Ruy de Medrano was removed, and Rodrigo Alfonso de Logroño took his place.",
"It was also stated that during their time, neither the commander nor the friars attended the prior of Castile's summons or council."

[
"End of 19th Century: Decline of the hospital",
"The hospital founded by Doña María Ramírez de Medrano remained operational until the disentailments of the 19th century.",
"Despite its eventual closure, the church and hospital buildings endured, albeit in a dilapidated state, until the late 19th century.=== Preservation Efforts (1877) ===In 1887, architect Luis Barrón undertook the project to construct a new cemetery in Navarrete.",
"As part of this endeavor, the portico and windows of the original hospital were relocated to the new cemetery, preserving elements of María Ramírez de Medrano's legacy.=== Restoration and recognition ===Today, the ruins of the hospital, consolidated and restored, stand as a testament to María Ramírez de Medrano's enduring impact on the region.",
"Located at the entrance of the Camino de Santiago in Navarrete, these remnants serve as a reminder of her commitment to providing aid to pilgrims and the needy during the medieval era.=== Legal Proceedings and Legacy ===Even in the 1920s, the Municipal Archive contains legal actions related to claims for money from the assets of this institution.",
"Today, the path leading to the ruins of the hospital is still known as the \"path of the order.\""

[
"Introduction",
"The '''Franklin Pierce rail accident''' was a train derailment in the US on January 6, 1853, that resulted in the death of Benjamin Pierce, the only living son of US president Franklin Pierce."
],
[
"Background",
"In 1852, Franklin Pierce was elected as president to succeed Millard Fillmore.",
"The election victory put an emotional strain on Jane Pierce, who had previously urged her husband to retire from politics.",
"Franklin and Jane Pierce had previously lost two of their three sons; Franklin Jr. died in infancy while Frank Robert died at age four due to typhus.",
"Benjamin Pierce was their sole child, aged 11 at the time."
],
[
"Accident",
"In 1853, the Pierce family was visiting Andover, Massachusetts either to attend a funeral or as a vacation for the holidays.",
"On January 6 of that year, the family was returning to Concord, New Hampshire, their hometown.Pierce and his family boarded a train carrying two cars and began their travel back to New Hampshire.",
"At around 1:00 p.m., three miles away from the Andover station (with one possible location being cited as \"between Argyle and Arundel Street\"), one of the train axles became fractured after running into some rocks that had fallen onto the tracks.",
"The coach that Pierce and his family were in then derailed and fell down an embankment that was between 15 and 20 feet below, destroying the car.",
"Benjamin, who was standing up at the time, was the only fatality.While Franklin and Jane did not sustain any severe injuries, Franklin immediately saw that Benjamin had been nearly decapitated as a result of the wreck and covered up his son's body cloth so that Jane would not have to see it.News of the accident spread across the nation, but it was initially (and incorrectly) reported that Franklin Pierce was also among the fatalities of the wreck."
],
[
"Effect on Presidency",
"Then president-elect Franklin PierceBoth Franklin and Jane were visibly affected by the accident.",
"Pierce was described as being emotionally drained when his presidency began, while Jane was so distraught from the event that she did not attend the presidential inauguration, nor was she able to attend Benjamin's burial in Concord.",
"In a personal letter, Franklin Pierce wrote that the accident had left him crushed, but he still felt an obligation to pursue his duties as the president.",
"With Jane Franklin not present at the inauguration, and Pierce's vice-president William R. King also unable to attend due to tuberculosis, the inaugural ball was canceled.Jane Pierce, raised a Puritan, believed that the accident was a punishment from God as a result of Franklin Pierce continuing his political aspirations against her wishes.",
"Franklin Pierce also believed that the accident was a form of punishment from God so he refused to use a Bible when giving his oath of office.When Jane Pierce finally moved into the White House, she spent a majority of the presidential grieving and hiding upstairs.",
"She allegedly wore all black for the rest of her life, spent time sending letters to her deceased son, Benjamin, and even held séances in an effort to communicate with him.It is believed that this accident, as well as the death of his wife Jane in 1863, accelerated his drinking habits.",
"Pierce would die of cirrhosis of the liver in 1869."

"First-order approach"
],
[
"Introduction",
"In microeconomics and contract theory, the first-order approach is a simplifying assumption used to solve models with a principal-agent problem.",
"It suggests that, instead of following the usual assumption that the agent will take an action that is utility-maximizing, the modeller use a weaker constraint, and look only for actions which satisfy the first-order conditions of the agent's problem.",
"This makes the model mathematically more tractable (usually resulting in closed-form solutions), but it may not always give a valid solution to the agent's problem."
],
[
"History",
"Historically, the first-order approach was the main tool used to solve the first formal moral hazard models, such as those of Richard Zeckhauser, Michael Spence, and Joseph Stiglitz.",
"Not long after these models were published, James Mirrlees was the first to point out that the approach was not generally valid, and sometimes imposed even stronger necessary conditions than those of the original problem.",
"Following this realization, he and other economists such as Bengt Holmström, William P. Rogerson and Ian Jewitt gave both sufficient conditions for cases where the first-order approach gives a valid solution to the problem, and also different techniques that could be applied to solve general principal-agent models."
],
[
"Mathematical formulation",
"In mathematical terms, the first-order approach relaxes the more general incentive compatibility constraint in the principal's problem.",
"The principal decides on an action and proposes a contract to the agent by solving the following program:: :subject to: : where and are the principal's and the agent's expected utilities, respectively.",
"Constraint is usually called the participation constraint (where is the agent's reservation utility), and constraint is the incentive compatibility constraint.",
"Constraint states that the action that the principal wants the agent to take must be utility-maximizing for the agent – that is, it must be compatible with her incentives.",
"The first-order approach relaxes this constraint with the first-order condition: Equation is oftentimes much simpler and easier to work with than constraint , which justifies the attractiveness of the first-order approach.",
"Nonetheless, it is only a necessary condition, and not equivalent to the more general incentive compatibility constraint."

],
[
"Premise",
"In the game, players work their way up a money ladder either by answering questions correctly or confidently giving incorrect answers and persuading their opponents that they are accurate.",
"To win up to $1,000,000 in this game, you don't have to be the smartest one in the game to cash in, you just have to convince the other contestants that you are."
],
[
"Gameplay",
"After a contestant chooses an answer, we don't know if it was correct or not.",
"Instead, the player tells a story about how he or she supposedly knew the answer.",
"Then the three other opponents decide whether they believe their story or not.",
"Finally, the true answer is revealed.",
"If the contestant was right, it's on to the next round without issue.",
"If the contestant was wrong, it's still on to the next round, as long as at least one panelist got duped by the bogus explanation, and if all 3 opponents didn't believe the story, the contestant goes home with either nothing or something depending on where and when it happens."
],
[
"Reception",
"Melissa Camacho of Common Sense Media gave the show 3 out of 5 stars stating: \"The humorous series features contestants confidently answering questions in hopes that they can convince their opponents that they know what they are talking about.",
"The way folks use their best poker faces when responding to question is fun, as is the way the other participants listen, watch, and articulate how and why they believe the answer is legitimate or complete nonsense.",
"Howie Mandel helps the humor along, and the cliffhangers at the end of each episode makes it easy to bingewatch.",
"Granted, the word \"bulls--t\" is used repeatedly, which makes it an iffy choice for younger kids.",
"But outside of this, ''Bullsh*t the Game Show'' is a fun, lighthearted watch.\""

[
"Reception",
"Jessica Kiang reviewing in ''Variety'' said, \"Nelson Carlo De Los Santos Arias sends us on an uncategorizably odd journey down the river of his noodling, needling imagination in a rickety canoe that keeps on capsizing, upended by another sideswiping reference, another jarring change of scene and timeframe or yet another stretch of borderline incomprehensible narration from Pepe himself, a creature who is as surprised as we are that he has suddenly acquired language.\"",
"David Rooney reviewing the film for ''The Hollywood Reporter'' dubbed it as \"Structurally messy but oddly haunting,\" and opined, \" the film achieves full force in a breathtaking final image as the camera zooms out high above the sad spectacle of Pepe felled by bullets in lush green grassland, a half-circle of gawping humans standing over the hippo’s bloodied body.\"",
"Rooney concluded, \"The uneven movie is worth seeing for that shot alone.",
"\"Wendy Ide wrote in ScreenDaily while reviewing the film at Berlinale, \"''Pepe'' is crammed, perhaps even overstuffed, with ideas, but which, like the huge beasts at the heart of the story, is deceptively agile and light on its feet.\""

"Charles E. Walker commissioned the construction of a movie theater on the site of the former Princess Theatre, a venue he operated from 1914 until 1923 when he moved it to 4th Street.",
"House & Graham served as general contractor for the project; construction began in September 1923.Two construction crews finished pouring concrete in early November 1923 and a third shift was added for the beginning of the building's steelwork with the expectation that the facility would be ready to open on Christmas Eve.",
"Walker later set the opening date for New Year's Eve, with crews in turn working around the clock to complete the venue.",
"Walker promised that the theater would be \"equal in beauty and arrangement\" to any of its size in Greater Los Angeles.Due to construction delays, Walker pushed back the grand opening of the theater from New Year's Eve and it ultimately premiered on January 29, 1924.The ''Santa Ana Daily Register'' heralded the New Walker Theatre as a \"credit to Santa Ana\" upon its debut.",
"A showing of the silent film ''The Man from Brodney's'' served as the feature for the venue's opening with members of the cast, including J. Warren Kerrigan, Alice Calhoun, and Wanda Hawley, in attendance.In September 1925, the Fox West Coast Theatres chain acquired the New Walker and its namesake was retained as resident manager of the venue.",
"By 1950, the New Walker had been acquired by Cabart Theaters Corporation, which renovated the auditorium thereafter.",
"The New Walker continued screening movies until its closure in the 1980s.",
"In 1991, a congregation called Christian Tabernacle purchased the building for $750,000 and spent $50,000 on its renovation for use as a church."

[
"Architecture",
"Carl and Robert Boller, working jointly through their firm Boller Brothers, designed the theater in a blend of the Mission Revival and Moderne styles.",

"He served in the assemblies of Serbia and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia between 1992 and 2001 as a member of the Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS)."
],
[
"Early life and career",
"Pavlović was born in Klina, in what was then the Autonomous Region of Kosovo and Metohija in the People's Republic of Serbia, Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia.",
"He graduated from the University of Pristina's Faculty of Philosophy and was a professor."
],
[
"Politician",
"===Yugoslavian Chamber of Citizens===The Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was established in April 1992, comprising the republics of Serbia and Montenegro.",
"The first elections for its Chamber of Citizens took place in May 1992, with half the seats determined by proportional representation and the other half by first-past-the-post elections in single-member constituencies.",
"Pavlović was elected for the Đakovica constituency seat in Kosovo; the SPS and its allies won the election, and he served as a supporter of the government.===National Assembly of Serbia===The May 1992 Yugoslavian election was widely considered as lacking legitimacy due to a boycott by several opposition parties, and a new election was called for December 1992.Pavlović did not seek re-election to the federal parliament but was instead a candidate in the concurrent 1992 Serbian parliamentary election, which was held under a system of full proportional representation with the country divided into nine electoral units.",
"He appeared in the second position on the SPS's electoral list for the Priština division, which encompassed almost all of Kosovo.",
"From 1992 to 2000, Serbia's electoral law stipulated that one-third of parliamentary mandates would be assigned to candidates on successful lists in numerical order, while the remaining two-thirds would be distributed amongst other candidates at the discretion of sponsoring parties or coalitions.",
"Pavlović was automatically elected when the Socialists won thirteen out of twenty-four seats in the division.",
"He served on the committee for environmental protection in the parliament that followed.The SPS held a minority government after the 1992 Serbian election and was dependent on informal parliamentary support from the far-right Serbian Radical Party (SRS).",
"The alliance between these parties broke down in mid-1993, and a new Serbian parliamentary election was held in December of that year.",
"Pavlović was assigned the fourteenth position on the SPS's list for Priština and was chosen for a new mandate when the party won a landslide victory with twenty-one out of twenty-four seats in the division.",
"The SPS emerged from the election in a stronger position overall and led a stable coalition government in the term that followed.",
"During this term, Pavlović served on the committee for administrative and mandate-immunity issues.Serbia's electoral divisions were restructured prior to the 1997 parliamentary election.",
"Pavlović appeared in the fifth position on the SPS's list for Peć and was given a mandate for a third term in the republican parliament when the list won twelve out of fourteen seats.",
"The SPS formed a new administration with the Radical Party and the Yugoslav Left (JUL) after the election, and Pavlović continued to serve as a government supporter.Serbian and Yugoslavian politics in the 1990s were dominated by the authoritarian rule of SPS leader Slobodan Milošević.",
"Elections in Kosovo took place against the backdrop of a boycott by the province's majority Albanian community, and many international observers considered that the SPS's success in Kosovo in 1997 was accomplished by electoral fraud.",
"Following the 1997 campaign, SRS organizer Dragan Todorović said that one of the polling stations in Klina had been in Pavlović's house and that members of Pavlović's family had attacked Radical Party activists who arrived in the area.Serbia lost effective control over most of Kosovo after the 1998–99 Kosovo War, and Milošević fell from power in the aftermath of the 2000 Yugoslavian presidential election.",
"A new Serbian parliamentary election was held in December 2000, shortly after Milošević's fall; Serbia's electoral laws were reformed prior to the election, such that the entire country became a single electoral division and all mandates were awarded to candidates on successful lists at the discretion of sponsoring parties, irrespective of numerical order.",
"Pavlović appeared in the 164th position on the SPS list, which was mostly alphabetical.",
"The list won thirty-seven seats, and he was not included in the party's new assembly delegation.===Local politics in Kosovo===Pavlović later left the Socialist Party and founded his own ''Metohija'' political movement.The Serbian government oversaw local elections in Kosovo in 2008 as a response to Kosovo's unilateral declaration of independence in February of that year.",
"This electoral cycle created what were in effect \"parallel\" local administrations in Kosovo's municipalities.",
"The ''Metohija'' movement contested the election in Klina and won five out of twenty-five available seats.",
"After the election, ''Metohija'' joined a local coalition government led by the Democratic Party of Serbia (DSS), and Pavlović was named as deputy mayor.",
"In 2010, the Serbian government dissolved the assemblies of seven Kosovo municipalities, including Klina, on the grounds that they had become dysfunctional and inefficient."

"Capture of Roermond"

[
"Introduction",
"The '''Capture of Roermond''' was a minor siege during the Eighty Years' War which took place from the 31st of August to the 1st of September, 1637.A Spanish army under Cardinal-Infante Ferdinand would successfully siege and seize Roermond from the Dutch just one week after his victory at Venlo.",

"Frederick Henry wouldn't be swayed by this attempt and was dedicated to sieging Breda and would eventually take it on the 11th of October."
],
[
"Siege",
"The campaign led by the Cardinal-Infante would be rather successful with large swathes of territory being captured near and around Maastricht.",
"Venlo fell just a week before this siege would begin, which served to cut off Maastricht from the Dutch and prevent any further Dutch attacks from the east.",
"The next step would be to take Roermond in which, knowing so, Ferdinand sent his cavalry to rapidly invest in the siege of the city.",
"The siege wouldn't be long as the Spanish would heavily bombard their opponents into submission.",
"This might be attributed to specialized Spanish explosive shells which were being utilized against the French and the Dutch.",
"The city would surrender on the 1st of September, which secured a total separation of Maastricht from the Dutch Republic."

],
[
"Introduction",

],
[
"Background",
"231x231pxKanizsa Castle was a very important place during the Ottoman-Habsburg wars because it was located on the borders of the Southern Trans-Danubian region.",
"The castle was captured during the Long Turkish War by the Turks after which it was made the center of a vilayet.",
"Kanizsa served as a rallying point for raids and armed forays into Habsburg territories These raids were part of the Ottoman tactic of conquest first destroying the local infrastructure and then conquering the weakened territory.During the Austro-Turkish war of 1663-1664, Austrian troops tried unsuccessfully to retake the fortress, but through poor supplies and lack of help from the Emperor, the Christian forces under Miklos Zrinyi had to retreat.",
"The Viennese Military Council began to discuss the retaking of Kanizsa after 1689.They did not want to lose many soldiers so they decided to starve the castle out.",
"The Emperor sent General Donat John and Ádám Batthyány, Chief Captain of the Trans Danubian Region, along with Colonel István Zichy and Colonel János Inkey against Kanizsa in January 1690.They had about 60,000 men under their command.",
"They took the smaller fortifications around Kanizsa, then the blockade began.Ádám II Batthyány"
],
[
"Siege",
"Soon after the blockade was established, the Ottoman garrison began to starve, so they sent envoys to the Pasha of Bosnia Gazi Topal Husein Pasha who was supposed to provide them with reinforcements, however, the Christian forces intercepted them which gave them a better idea of the situation in the Ottoman ranks.",
"Batthyany wrote a letter to the Turks in which he described the numerical superiority of the forces besieging the castle and offered them surrender.Yet the Turks did not agree to the given terms and responded to the Austrians with artillery fire.",
"However, the situation of the Turks was hopeless, as the Austrians found out shortly afterwards when another messenger named Hussein was tried to be sent from Kanizsa with a request for reinforcements, he was also intercepted, in the letter the Turks announced that Kanizsa without military support would fall before Easter, Hussein, however, remained faithful and did not reveal any details for which he paid with his life.",
"Hussein's head was cut off and impaled on a stake with the following script on it: Agha of the JanissariesThe Turks noticed Hussein's head and realized that sending more envoys no longer made sense, also the situation in the besieged city became increasingly severe due to food shortages which forced the Turks to release most of the Christian hostages who were given safe passage to the camp.",
"When the hostages reached the camp, they informed the Austrians about the hopeless situation of the besieged garrison, which only confirmed their belief in the helplessness of the Turks.",
"The Austrians decided to once again propose surrender terms to the garrison, but they were rejected again and the Turks began another and final artillery bombardment.Then, Bekri Mustafa Pasha had no choice left, and he began negotiating the terms of surrender.",
"He sent two Agha officers to Donat John's camp on 20 March, they had a letter with 10 conditions in it to cede the castle.",
"The talks lasted for several days.",
"The next day, Mustafa released the remaining 72 Christian prisoners.Mustafa finally set out to Vienna on 26 March with two Agha officers to sign the document with the members of the Viennese Military Council.",
"In this document, the defenders were allowed to go away freely.",
"Emperor Leopold approved the terms, and the pasha returned to Kanizsa on 8 April.",
"To help the process, Donat John placed German and Hungarian soldiers at the gate of the castle.",
"Then, Pasha Mustafa and his family moved to the outer town called Rácváros on 12 April."
],
[
"Aftermath",
"The Military Council had the fort mended and placed 1,200 Hungarian soldiers in it, they were under the command of Adam Batthyány.",
"Later, they were replaced by German troops.",

"Emperor Leopold ordered the demolishing of the castle in 1702 in fear of a possible Hungarian uprising.",
"Colonel Schenkendorff forced 1,500 Hungarian peasants with their wagons who had to do the job.",
"The Colonel had orders to pull down the defenses of Egerszeg, and Körmend as well.",
