"Eastern Old Japanese"
],
[
"Introduction",
"'''Eastern Old Japanese''' (abbreviated as . )",
"is a group of heterogenous varieties of Old Japanese, historically spoken in the east of Japan, in the area traditionally called ''Togoku'' or ''Azuma''."
],
[
"Classification",
"Eastern Old Japanese constitutes a branch of the Japanese subgroup of the Japonic languages (Insular Japonic), with the other varieties of Old Japanese, which all descend from proto-Japanese (separate from Proto-Ryukyuan, following the classification used by Kupchik (2011)."
],
[
"Attestations",
"Eastern Old Japanese is mainly attested through poems collected in several anthologies written during the 8th century:* ''Man'yōshū'' (万葉集), in the fourteenth and twentieth volumes, as well as some poems from volume sixteen ;* ''Kokin wakashū'' (古今和歌集), of which a poem is written in this dialect (written during the Heian period) ;* ''Fudoki'' (風土記) ;*''Azuma (asobi) uta'' (東遊び歌) ;* ''Sakimori uta'', however, this one is written with the spelling of Western Old Japanese.All this would give a total of 242 short poems and one long poem according to Alexander Vovin (2014)."
],
[
"Geographic distribution",
"This variety is geographically opposed to Western Old Japanese and Kyūshū Old Japanese.",
"It was spoken to the east of Nara, the capital of Japan during the Nara Period, approximately in the current Kantō region, Chūbu region and Tōhoku region (then collectively referred to as the Azuma region).=== Varieties ===Eastern Old Japanese was not a unified variety but a collection of different dialects.",
"Their demarcation differs depending on the author.For example, Bjarke Frellesvig (2010) distinguishes three dialect areas:;Northern:the provinces of Kazusa, Mutsu and Shimotsuke ;;Central:the provinces of Hitachi, Kōzuke, Musashi, Sagami and Shimōsa; and;Southern:the provinces of Shinano, Suruga and Tōtōmi.He states that these dialects form a continuum with the varieties of Nara Old Japanese, with North Eastern Old Japanese constituting the most divergent variety.However, the majority of songs and poems do not have information on their provenance.John Kupchik (2023) calls all of these varieties Azuma Old Japanese, consisting of two dialects: Töpo-Suruga Old Japanese in the three provinces of Frellesvig's southern area and Eastern Old Japanese in the rest.",
"The former dialect lacks attested Ainu loanwords.He remarks on the differences in the spelling of the two varieties.",
"In earlier work, he had separated the dialects of Shinano province as Central Old Japanese due to the absence of innovations shared with his Töpo-Suruga and Eastern Old Japanese groups."
],
[
"Typology",
"Eastern Old Japanese is a SOV language with a structure including a modifier at the start of the sentence, although there are exceptions.",
"There are many suffixes, but unlike most SOV languages, there are also prefixes.Morphologically it is principally an agglutinative language, but blend words also exist."
],
[
"Phonology",
"The phonotactic structure of Eastern Old Japanese is strictly « (C)V », without consonant gemination nor long vowels.",
"Typically, vowel sequences contract rather than merge.",
"The accent system is unknown.There exists a correspondence between the Western Old Japanese \\i\\ and \\u\\ and the Eastern Old Japanese \\(j)e\\ and \\o\\ respectively, which is confirmed by the comparison of the three Japanese dialects, as well as the Ryukyuan languages.",
"Thus, the Eastern Old Japanese vowel system would have been closer to that of Proto-Japonic than that of Western Old Japanese."
],
[
"Vocabulary",
"The Eastern Old Japanese lexicon is mainly inherited from Japonic languages.",
"However, it is also contains Koreanic and Ainu loanwords, and only a few of Sinitic origin.+Eastern Old Japanese vocabularyEnglishEastern Old JapanesegirlkwomountainyamaflowerpanawordkötöfathertitimotherpapapersonpyitöriverkapajourneytanpyideitykamyipeakneropepyimoOther words are close to Japonic forms that appeared in later periods:+Comparison of Eastern Old Japanese and JaponicEnglishEastern Old JapaneseEastern Old JapaneseMiddle JapaneseModern Japaneserainbownwonsinijimaplekapyerutebarleymunkyipaddlekatiwillowyanakyihorsemumaumamumasnowyökyiyukyiyukieyebrowmaywomayumayu"
],
[
"Extinction and descendants",
"The dialects of Eastern Old Japanese were replaced by the Kyoto dialect (Middle Japanese), the descendant of Western Old Japanese during the Heian period (between the 8th and the 12th centuries).",
"However, there are still modern traces of this variety:* The relic language Hachijō, spoken on the Izu Islands but on the verge of extinction.",
"Eastern Old Japanese and Hachijō have common characteristics not found in other branches of the Japonic family.",
"* Modern Eastern Japanese dialects contain traces of a substrate, such as the verb ''sugos-'' 'to exceed' (comparable to Western Old Japanese ''sugus-'', of the same meaning), the imperative suffix ''-ro'', the predicative suffix ''-ke'' on adjective verbs or ''-o'' on verbs, among others."
],
[
"Relation with the Ryukyuan languages",
"According to Maner Lawton Thorpe (1983), the phonological correspondences of Eastern Old Japanese shared with the Ryukyuan languages could be explained by the descend from a common language.",
"Thus, he proposes the following phylogenetic tree:* Japanese-Ryukyuan languages**Proto-Kyūshū*** Ryukyuan languages*** Kyūshū Old Japanese (not attested)*** Eastern Old Japanese** Western Old Japanese (from the Kansai Region)Following his model, Western Old Japanese would have separated first, during the 4th-5th centuries, then the Kyūshū-branch would have separated three or four centuries later.",
"Subsequently, Kantō would have been populated by Japonic speakers directly from Kyūshū, without passing through central Japan.However, Alexander Koji Makiyama (2015) finds the results of diachronic changes in Eastern Old Japanese such as in denasalization, fortition and vowel raising unconvincing in comparison with the Ryukyuan languages.",
"In fact, he finds:* 12 attestations in Eastern Old Japanese of denasalization which could be attributed to Proto-Ryukyuan, but 10 of them actually correspond to the possessive case marker ''-ga'' ;* fortition is only attested in two forms in Eastern Old Japanese, compared to only one in Proto-Ryukyuan, ''*bakare'', in addition to the fact that it may be a loan;* regarding vowel raising, the change from Proto-Japonic *ə to *o in Proto-Ryukyuan makes certain reconstruction impossible.",
"Only four forms in Eastern Old Japanese could correspond to the Proto-Ryukyuan form.The hypothesis of a linguistic contact or a resemblance is therefore, in the state of current knowledge, only speculative.",
"Thomas Pellard (2015) also considers that this hypothesis is unproven."

"Śladów massacre"
],
[
"Introduction",
"The '''Śladów massacre''', occurring on September 18, 1939, near the village of Śladów, was a war crime committed by the Wehrmacht during its invasion of Poland.",
"On that day, a large group of Polish prisoners of war and civilian hostages were either shot or drowned in the Vistula River.",
"According to the majority of Polish sources, the number of victims reached 300; however, this figure may have been exaggerated."
],
[
"The massacre",
"The massacre took place on September 18, 1939, in the final phase of the Battle of the Bzura, on the bank of the Vistula, on the embankment called 'Słówka' (other sources refer to this place as the Vistula's 'heads').",
"According to an eyewitness, it occurred shortly after the Germans, using a 'living shield' composed of captured Polish civilians, broke the resistance of a dozen or so Polish cavalrymen who were defending themselves on the river embankment.",
"Once the skirmish ended, civilians were ordered to bury the bodies of fallen soldiers and killed horses.",
"Meanwhile, a senior German officer arrived at the scene of the battle.",
"After a short conference with him, Wehrmacht soldiers searched and robbed the civilians.",
"Then the entire group, as well as a large group of prisoners of war who had earlier laid down their weapons, were rushed to the embankment and placed in two rows.",
"In the meantime, the Germans were killing individual Polish soldiers who had been hiding in the coastal bushes and now revealed themselves with the intention of capitulating.Shortly afterward, despite pleas for mercy, three machine guns opened fire on the crowd.",
"Some of the victims were shot and later buried at the execution site.",
"Some of them drowned after the Germans pushed them off the embankment into the river.",
"Prisoners who tried to escape by swimming to the other bank of the Vistula were killed with rifle and machine gun fire.Szymon Datner suggests that the massacre may have been motivated by pre-war conflicts between the local Polish population and ethnic German settlers, as well as a desire for revenge due to the fierce resistance of Polish soldiers in the Śladów area."
],
[
"Victims and perpetrators",
"According to Datner, over 300 Poles fell victim to the massacre.",
"Among them were about 150 prisoners of war—both wounded and healthy—from the units of 'Poznań' and 'Pomeranian' armies defeated on the Bzura River, as well as approximately 150 civilians.",
"The latter group included 84 residents of the then ''gmina'' of Tułowice, as well as war refugees from various regions of Poland.",
"The murdered civilians were mainly men aged 15 to 75.Nevertheless, the victims of the massacre included at least several small children.The number given by Datner is usually accepted by other Polish historians and investigators.",
"However, as Tomasz Sudoł pointed out, Datner's calculations are based on the testimony of only one eyewitness.",
"As a result, the actual number of victims may be lower than estimated.",
"Ian Baxter estimated the number of victims as 252.",
"''The register of places and facts of crimes committed by the Nazi Occupier on Polish Lands in the years 1939–1945'' provides the names of 23 identified victims—residents of Śladów, Famułki Królewskie, Łasice, Przęsławice, and Wilcze Śladowskie.Only two people survived the massacre: Stanisław Klejnowski and Alfred Kitliński (both were residents of the gmina of Tułowice).",
"The latter lost his grandfather and 10-year-old brother during the execution.The massacre was committed by an unidentified Wehrmacht armored unit.",
"Datner assumes that the perpetrators could have been soldiers of the 4th Armored Division of the XVI Army Corps of the 10th Army, operating in this area and known for numerous war crimes.",
"Jan Jarecki blames the soldiers of the 12th Rifle Regiment (''Schützen-Regiment 12''), which was part of this division and was commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Konrad von Czettritz und Neuhaus.",
"''The Register'' also states that, in addition to Wehrmacht soldiers, SS members also participated in the massacre."
],
[
"Aftermath",
"During the Nazi occupation, probably in 1942, an exhumation was carried out at the massacre site.",
"The corpses of the murdered prisoners were buried at the war cemetery in Janówek Duranowski.",
"The bodies of civilian victims were buried in parish cemeteries in Brochów, Kamion, and Leoncin.Szymon Datner described the massacre in Śladów as 'one of the most monstrous crimes recorded in the chronicles of World War II.",
"'During the Nazi occupation, 37% of the inhabitants of the gmina of Tułowice died, and such severe terror against the inhabitants of these areas was at least partially inspired by local ethnic German settlers."
],
[
"Remembrance",
"In 1966, an obelisk-shaped monument was erected at the site of the massacre.",
"Currently, there is a plaque with the following inscription:"

"The name 12px10px10px ''Sa-mu-dra'' in an early version of the Gupta Brahmi script, appears vertically under the left arm of the king.It was evident enough that the Indian Emperor Samudragupta wanted his Empire to benefit from the already flourishing regions of Bengal such as the famous port of Tamarilipti which was situated at the Deltaic region."

"Samudragupta's conquest",
"=== Extermination of Nagadhatta ===While the contemporary rulers such as the Chinese, Kushans and Iranians were trying to control certain trade routes, undoubtedly Samudragupta had economic interests for his Empire when he violently exterminated Nagadhatta (according to Sircar he was probably the ruler of Pundravardhana region of north Bengal).Allahabad stone pillar inscription of Samudragupta, in the Brahmi script.=== Samudragupta's conflict with Chandravarman ===Samudragupta and Gupta forces overran most of Bengal and erected victory pillars in Vanga.",
"Samudragupta's victory over Chandravarman resulted in gaining large parts of Bengal.",
"According to the inscription on the Allahabad Pillar by Gupta emperor Samudragupta, Chandravarman was defeated by Samudragupta and the area became a part of the Gupta Empire: As mentioned earlier, Samudragupta violently exterminated Nagadhatta, Chandravarman and Balavarman Samudragupta's authority over Bengal is unquestionable.=== Submissions of Samatata, Davaka and Kamarupa ===Davaka\" (Brahmi script: 15px15px15px) in the Allahabad Pillar inscriptionThe Kings of Samatata, Davaka and Kamarupa paid tribute and homage to the Emperor Samudragupta Samatata, Davaka and Kamarupa became frontier states of Samudragupta's Empire\"In any case, it is an indubitable fact that Samudragupta succeeded in bringing the greater part of Bengal in his control, for, we know Samataṭa (S.E.",

"He was the first in Russia to propose to adopt for military ballooning the transportation of hydrogen compressed under high pressures (130 and 200 atmospheres) and the production of hydrogen by factory method by electrolysis using turbines (e.g.",
"waterfalls).",
"Orlov's works on ballooning: ''Report on the activity of the ballooning park on manoeuvres near Brest in 1886'' (; ''Engineering Journal'', 1887, Nos.",

"In 1889 Orlov was promoted to colonel, and in 1899 — to major-general.",
"In 1898 Orlov was granted a massive antique silver ladle by the Highest Order.",
"To facilitate the studies of military youth, Orlov printed several editions of the ''Manual for the preparation to the test for the rank of ensign of the infantry reserve'' () and the same manual for cavalry, ''The use in battle of 3 types of weapons according to the Italian statutes'' (), ''Sketch of tactics of cavalry according to foreign statutes'' (), ''The use of horse artillery in combat'' (); in addition, under his editorship was published ''Textbook of tactics'' () by , adopted at that time in all military and junker schools, and 10 editions of ''Reference book on tactics'' () by Nikolay V. Levitsky, then known in the Russian Army.===Boxers===29 June 1900.Orlov received an offer to go to the Far East, to take part in military operations in China, and on the 30th left for Chita, where he was to form the Hailar Detachment, the chief of which he was appointed, and at the same time was appointed commander of the Transbaikal Cossack Brigade by the Highest Order.",
"The Hailar Detachment, composed almost exclusively of preferential Cossacks, was entrusted with the defence of Transbaikalia.",
"The movement deep into Manchuria was considered risky due to the alleged lack of water.",
"However, having in mind to act actively, the Hailar Detachment invaded Manchuria on 23 July, on 30 July broke the Chinese hoard near Ongun (3 steel Krupp guns were taken), pursued them and took the town of Hailar on 3 August.",
"On the 14th of August the Hailar Detachment defeated a new accumulation of Chinese at Yakeshi, and on the 24th of August attacked the Chinese army, which had gathered again at the fortified position on the Greater Khingan ridge, and dispersed it, taking 5 steel Krupp guns and the whole transport.",
"Having no more enemy in front of him, Orlov moved quickly (339.2 km 210.7 mi in 10 days) to Qiqihar, where he joined the detachment of General Rennenkampf and advanced the latter to Boduna, where the Hailar Detachment also moved, due to the news about the appearance of a new Chinese army.",
"From Boduna Orlov advanced General Rennenkampf to Jilin, where he also moved with the Hailar Detachment, but, by order of his superiors, was forced to turn to Harbin.",
"During this war, in one of the reconnaissance missions, a horse fell under Orlov and he broke 3 ribs.===War with Japan===After demobilization of the detachment Orlov was appointed chief of the 54th Infantry Reserve Brigade, which with the Russo-Japanese War's beginning in 1904 he mobilized and deployed in the V Siberian Corps, and was appointed commander of one of its divisions, namely the 54th.",
"Upon arrival to the Manchurian Army Orlov participated in the combats near Liaoyang, on the left flank, at the Yantai Mines.",
"Here on 2 September he took part in a hand-to-hand infantry fight, being on horseback the whole time, and was wounded from 20 paces in the stomach by two bullets and concussed by two more.",
"In the official history of the Russian–Japanese war of 1904–5 (3rd part of III volume, pp.",
"223–242) Orlov's actions are described in detail.",
"Having received relief from wounds, but not yet cured completely, Orlov, at the General Kuropatkin's invitation, returned to the army and was appointed chief of the 3rd Infantry Division, with which he was in constant fighting in the winter of 1904–5, occupying with his division the closest position to the Japanese trenches.",
"In the battle of Mukden Orlov commanded the rearguard of the XVII Army Corps and on 10 March endured a day of hard fighting in 3 consecutive positions.",
"During the Mukden combats Orlov's division suffered a loss of 5,700 people, and he himself was shell-shocked in the head, but he did not leave the command and continued to be the chief of the rearguard until the army stopped at the Sipingjie positions: then he was appointed chief of the 3rd Army's advance guard and commanded it until the peace was ratified.",
"In 1905 Orlov was promoted to lieutenant-general.",
"In February 1906 Orlov returned to Russia with the 3rd Infantry Division and commanded it until 1910, when he was named commander of the 12th Infantry Division.===Later career===Having switched from professorship to military service, Orlov published: ''Zabaikals in Manchuria – sketch of the campaign of the Hailar Detachment'' (); ''The Battle of Grunwald in 1410'' (); ''The war for the liberation of Germany in 1813 and the deposition of Napoleon in 1814'' (); ''The pacification of the Polish rebellion in 1831 and in 1863'' (); ''Organisation of field trips to France'' (); ''Combat shooting with manoeuvring'' ().Orlov was a founding member of the Imperial Military Historical Society and a contributor to the ''\"Sytin Military Encyclopedia\"''."

"Sarvamnaya tantra"
],
[
"Introduction",
"Sculpture of Śiva's Different Faces from West Bengal.",
"11th c. CE'''Sarvamnaya Tantra''' (Devanagari सर्वाम्नाय तन्त्र, IAST Sarvāmnāya Tantra) is a tantric tradition originating within Nepal.",
"Sarvāmnāya translates literally to \"all transmissions.\"",
"It makes reference to the āmnāya categorization system, which depicts the various streams of Kaula tantrism as \"transmissions\" flowing from the different faces of Śiva in different cardinal directions.",
"This representation of Shiva with multiple or five faces is referred to as Sadasiva or Mukhalinga and is central to the Sarvamnaya tradition.",
"The textual basis for the āmnāya categorization dates back to eleventh century Kaula texts like the Ciñciṇīmatasārasaṃuccaya and Nityāṣoḍaśīkārṇava, which began associating existing practice traditions with different directions, a practice that was further developed by subsequent texts like the Kulārṇava Tantra.",
"These transmissions include the Pūrvāmnāya (Eastern transmission) centered around the Trika goddesses of Parā, Parāparā and Aparā, the Uttarāmnāya (Northern transmission) centered around the Kālikā Krama, the Paścimāmnāya (Western transmission) centered around the humpbacked goddess Kubjikā and her consort Navātman, the Dakṣiṇāmnāya (Southern transmission) centered around the goddess Tripurasundarī and Sri Vidya, the Urdhvāmnāya (Upper transmission) centered around the Ardhanārīśvara half-goddess/half-Śiva form, and the Adharāmnāya (Lower transmission), which includes Vajrayogini, Vajravarahi, and Ugratara of the Vajrayāna.The defining feature of the Sarvāmnāya Tantra is that it preserved the complete ritual and meditative practices of these transmissions and integrates all these different āmnāyas into a sequence of practice.",
"Initiates into the Sarvāmnāya receive a series of dīkśas or initiations into each of these transmissions and learn to integrate their respective mantras, yantras, mandalas, deity forms, and meditative experiences into one another to attain a deeper realization."
],
[
"Historical Context",
"The development and continuity of Sarvāmnāya Tantra to some degree reflects unique features about Kathmandu Valley in which it developed.",
"Kathmandu Valley had received a wealth of \"pan-South Asian culture\" from the 5th to 8th century CE, including Nātha, Bhairava, Śaiva, and Śākta traditions.",
"By the eleventh century, these older traditions became integrated with the tantric amnāya traditions, representing the capacity of tantric traditions to integrate and adapt.",
"Lidke especially draws attention to the integrative dyanmics occurring within the Khasa Kingdom at this time: \"Drawing from Sanskritic cultures, the Khasa rulers, like their Bengali Pāla predecessors, interwove a vast array of indigenous languages, ethnic communities, and religious practices into a multileveled maṇdala structure.",
"Within this polyethnic, multicultural network, Bengali and Kaśmirī Śākta goddesses shared the stage with Nāth Siddha deities, Purāṇic gods and goddesses, and a variety of local shamanic deities.\"",
"It is within this milieu that the Sarvāmnāya practices and term became more widely utilized, until they were well-attested by the twelfth century.",
"Nepal provided not only an incubator for these different traditions to find integration, but a context in which these traditions could be preserved.",
"This preservation is significant as, in other locations of crucial importance to tantra, such as Kashmir, the ritual aspect of the tantric tradition in particular contracted due to the collapse of institutional support and oppositional social climate.",
"Nepal, however, offered several amenable features for the preservation of these traditions including a favorable climate that preserved palm-leaf manuscripts upon which texts were historically written, a vibrant community of practitioners who have continuously protected and reproduced copies of manuscripts, and a geographic location in the Kathmandu Valley that served as an important hub through which cultural products of adjoining tantric centers like Kashmir and Tibet flowed through and thus mixed.",
"Although systematic philosophical schools did not become widespread within Nepal, as they did in Kashmir, the Nepali ritual texts reveal a corresponding philosophy that simultaneously affirms the world while seeing consciousness as the ultimate reality.",
"The practice of Sarvāmnāya continued due to the patronage and support of royalty in Nepal, who were often themselves practitioners.",

],
[
"Early life",
"Assis João Avelino Afonso was born in 1898 in Corjuem, a village located in Aldona, Goa, which was under Portuguese rule as part of Portuguese India at the time (now part of India).",
"He was raised in the village of Marcel, Goa, which had evolved into a census town."
],
[
"Career",
"Afonso made his debut in the theatrical scene in 1920, appearing in a ''tiatr'' titled ''Maurice ani Juliana vo A Real Love Story''.",
"This ''tiatr'', written by Rama and directed by Rama's wife, marked Afonso's first role as Ramis, the servant.",
"Konkani historian and singer Wilson Mazarello writes, despite the limited nature of his part, Afonso's performance left an impact on the audience, garnering recognition for his potential as an actor.",
"Following his debut, Afonso was offered the role of Iago in a Konkani adaptation of Shakespeare's play ''Othello''.",
"Mazarello further writes, demonstrating his talent and ability, Afonso excelled in this role.",

"Artificial intelligence in architecture"
],
[
"Introduction",
"A discussion at Columbia University in 2019'''Artificial intelligence in architecture''' describes the use of artificial intelligence in automation, design and planning in the architectural process or in assisting human skills in the field of architecture.",
"Artificial Intelligence is thought to potentially lead to and ensue major changes in Architecture.",
"AI's potential in optimization of design, planning and productivity have been noted as accelerators in the field of architectural work.",
"The ability of AI to potentially amplify an architect's design process has also been noted.",
"Fears of the replacement of aspects or core processes of the architectural profession by Artificial Intelligence have also been raised, as well as the philosophical implications on the profession and creativity."
],
[
"Implications",
"=== Benefits ===Artificial intelligence, according to ArchDaily, is said to potentially significantly augment the Architectural profession though its ability to improve the design and planning process as well as increasing productivity.",
"Through its ability to handle a large amount of data, AI are said to potentially allow architects a range of design choices with criteria considerations such as budget, requirements adjusted to space, and sustainability goals calculated as part of the design process.",
"ArchDaily said this may allow the design of optimized alternatives that can then undergo human review.",
"AI tools are also said to potentially allow architects to assimilate urban and environmental data to inform their designs, streamlining initial stages of project planning and increasing efficiency and productivity.The advances in generative design through the input of specific prompts allow architects to produce visual designs, including photorealistic images, and thus render and explore various material choices and spatial configurations.",
"ArchDaily noted this could speed the creative process as well as allow for experimentation and sophistication in the design.",
"Additionally, AI's capacity for pattern recognition and coding could aid architects in organizing design resources and developing custom applications, thus enhancing the efficiency and the collaboration between both architects and AI.AI is thought to also be able to contribute to the sustainability of buildings by analyzing various factors and following which recommend energy-efficient modifications, thus pushing the industry towards greener practices.",
"The use of AI in building maintenance, project management, and the creation of immersive virtual reality experiences are also thought as potentially augmenting the architectural design process and workflow.Examples include the use of text-to-image systems such as Midjourney to create detailed architectural images, and the use of AI optimization systems from companies such as Finch3D and Autodesk to automatically generate floor plans from simple programmatic inputs.Architect Kudless in an interview to Dezeen recounted that he uses AI to innovate in architectural design by incorporating materials and scenes not usually present in initial plans, which he believes can significantly alter client presentations.",
"He told Dezeen he believes one should show clients renderings from the onset, with AI assisting in this work, arguing that changes in design should be a positive aspect of the client-designer relationship by actively involving clients in the process.",
"Additionally, Kudless highlighted the AI's potential to facilitate labor in architectural firms, particularly in automating rendering tasks, thus reducing the workload on junior staff while maintaining control over the creative output.=== On aesthetics ===In an interview for the AItopia series to Dezeen, designer Tim Fu discussed the transformative potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in architecture, there he proposed a future where AI could herald a \"neoclassical futurist\" style, blending the grandeur of classical aesthetics with futuristic design.",
"Through his collaborative project, The AI Stone Carver, Fu showcased how AI can innovate traditional practices by generating design concepts that are then realized through human craftsmanship, such as stone carving by mason Till Apfel.",
"This approach he believed celebrated the fusion of diverse architectural styles and also emphasized the unique capabilities of AI in enhancing creative design processes.Fu told Dezeen he envisions the integration of AI in design as a means to revive the ornamentation and detailed aesthetics characteristic of classical architecture, moving away from the minimalism, which he said dominates contemporary architecture He argued that AI's involvement in the ideation phase of design allows for a reversal in the roles of machine and human, enabling architects and designers to focus on creating more intricate and ornamental structures.",
"Fu's optimistic outlook extended to the broader impact of AI on the architectural field, seeing it as an indispensable tool that will shift rather than replace human roles, enriching the field with innovative designs that pay homage to the beauty and qualities of classical architecture not present in contemporary architecture while embracing new technologies.",
"'The Neighbourhood' burough by AI Midjourney=== Fears ===Adam Greenfield, a writer and urbanist with who served as a specialist in the US Army, expressed skepticism towards the optimistic view of AI in architecture.",
"He argued that AI is a significant threat to the architectural profession through its automation of tasks traditionally performed by architects.",
"Greenfield said regarding the future of the architectural profession that perhaps the diverse architectural field would become a small group of international offices/brands similar to Fashion brands.Greenfield said \"''This is existential for architects . . .",
"The people who are now most enthusiastic about AI have no idea what's being done to them.",
"What we need to ask at this stage is what are we here for?",
"If we're not here to bring our life experiences to bear on complex problems through our creativity, then what's left?",
"Eat and shit?",
"The things AI is being called to do are the things which give us a stake in existence.",

"It was released in the UK in late 2004, by Evangeline Records, and in the United States in 2005.The band supported the album with a North American tour."
],
[
"Production",
"The Blasters tried recording ''4-11-44'' twice, as a live album, but issues with record labels prevented a release.",
"They were without Dave Alvin; the lineup that recorded ''4-11-44'' had been playing together for a decade.",
"Phil Alvin and bass player John Bazz were the only founding members to participate in the recording sessions.",
"\"Rebound\" is a cover of the Charlie Rich song.",
"\"Daddy Rollin' Stone\" was written by Otis Blackwell.",

],
[
"Critical reception",
"''The Independent'' noted that, \"what Dr Feelgood used to do in Essex, the Blasters still do, with added vitamin D, in California: guitars, bass, blues changes, kicking drummer, wittily parochial lyrics, a spot of reverb.\"",
"''Rolling Stone'' determined that \"the edges (particularly on the production) have softened to the point where songs such as 'Love Is My Business' and 'Julie' come off like easy-listening oldies.",
"\"''The Philadelphia Inquirer'' concluded that \"the Blasters without Dave Alvin are not exactly Creedence minus John Fogerty...",
"They're more akin to the Band without Robbie Robertson—a unit still capable of superb singing and playing.\"",
"''The Columbus Dispatch'' praised the \"scorching lead guitar\" of Keith Wyatt.",
"The ''Albuquerque Journal'' deemed the album the same \"good old rock 'n' roll that the band did so well 25 years ago.",
"\"AllMusic wrote: \"There was an almost ministerial fervor to the group's original recordings, as if they needed to wake up an audience to a musical tradition that was on the verge of dying out; ''4-11-44'', on the other hand, sounds like a great roadhouse band rocking on out, but there isn't nearly as much force behind it.\""

],
[
"Introduction",
"A '''Sweepstakes Casino''', alternatively known as a '''sweeps casino''', or ''' sweeps coins casino''', operates under a unique legal framework, offering online casino-style gaming through the sweepstake model.",
"This innovative approach allows for legal gaming in jurisdictions where traditional online gambling faces restrictions.",
"Unlike conventional online casinos that operate with real money betting, sweepstakes casinos utilize a dual currency system.",

"This model cleverly navigates the regulatory landscape, adhering to United States sweepstakes laws and providing a safe, legal alternative for online gaming enthusiasts."
],
[
"History",
"The concept of sweepstakes casino gaming traces its roots back to the early 2000s in the United States, where sweepstakes cafes, also known as sweepstakes parlors, began offering casino-style games.",
"These venues ingeniously combined the sale of internet time or telecommunications products with the chance to win prizes through sweepstakes entries, thereby creating a legal loophole around direct gambling.",
"Players at these cafes could enjoy games typically found in casino, such as slots and table games, with the excitement of potentially winning real prizes.As technology evolved and internet accessibility became widespread, the sweepstakes model transitioned from physical cafes to the online sphere.",
"This shift allowed for a broader reach, enabling players from areas where gambling was restricted to participate in casino-style gaming from the comfort of their homes.",

],
[
"Legality",
"Within the legal framework that governs sweepstakes casinos, the dual currency system plays a pivotal role in differentiating these platforms from traditional online gambling sites.",
"This system, consisting of Gold Coins and Sweepstakes Coins, is meticulously designed to ensure compliance with sweepstakes laws, particularly the \"no purchase necessary\" mandate that is central to maintaining the legality of sweepstakes promotions.===Jurisdictional Variability and Restrictions===The legality of sweepstakes casinos varies significantly across different states due to diverse laws and interpretations.",
"While the federal framework provides a broad legal basis for their operation, state-specific regulations can impose additional restrictions or interpretations, affecting the presence and practices of sweepstakes casinos.",

"Introduction",
"'''Madame Ulrich''' (born c. 1665, died after 1707) was a French playwright and writer.",
"Along with Catherine Bernard and Charlotte Legrand, she was one of only three female authors to have had a play performed at the Comédie-Française theater in Paris during the 17th century."
],
[
"Biography",
"Madame Ulrich was the daughter of one of King Louis XIV's Vingt-Quatre Violons (a five-part string ensemble at the French royal court).",
"Her father died when she was thirteen or fourteen, and she was apprenticed to a barber.",
"Mr. Ulrich, a butler to the Count of Auvergne, met her and decided to place her in a convent with a view to marrying her, despite their great age difference.",
"She became a friend of the Duchesse de Choiseul-Praslin, had lovers such as the comedian Florent Dancourt, Jean de La Fontaine and the Marquis de Sablé, and frequented the circle of the Duc de Bouillon.=== Early life ===Title page of the Ulrich comedy, \"The Mad Bid\".",
"1691In 1690, she wrote and published a transvestite comedy, La Folle Enchère, which premiered on 30 May 1690 at the Comédie-Française and was performed before the King at the Palace of Versailles.",
"The play was long attributed to her lover Florent Dancourt before that was changed to Ulrich, although some sources continue to name Dancourt as the author.",
"The feminine agreement of the preface, the analysis of the privilege and the style of the play all attest to Madame Ulrich's authorship.",
"According to André Blanc, \"the careful composition, the considerable role of disguises and their final resolution, a certain confusion at times, a romantic intention, the very attack of the comedy, very brilliant, hardly resembles Dancourt's manner of this period.",
"\"Following the death of her friend Jean de La Fontaine, Madame Ulrich published Posthumous Works in 1696, for which she wrote a preface and a dedication to the Marquis de Sablé, as well as a portrait of the poet, and included unpublished works (including the Tale of the Quiproquos, new versions of certain fables, of which she owned the manuscripts, verses and two letters written to her by La Fontaine).=== Repression ===From 1699 onwards, Madame Ulrich's freedom of morals displeased the authorities.",
"The pleasures and amusements of King Louis XIV's early reign had given way to austerity and devotion.",
"Control over society and transgressive behavior intensified.",
"After the repression of prostitution, courtesans who had fled the puritanism of the Court for the pleasures of Paris and its libertine salons were put under surveillance.",
"To discipline these rebellious wives and daughters who had freed themselves from marital or paternal guardianship, they were locked up at the Madelonnettes Convent.",
"At the request of Louis XIV and Madame de Maintenon, Madame Ulrich's actions were monitored by police lieutenant-general René d'Argenson.",
"Initially sent with her daughter Thérèse to a convent to repent, she was then regularly arrested and confined at Les Madelonnettes, from which she escaped, at Le Refuge, and then at Hôpital Général.",
"After 1707, no further trace of her can be found.",
"According to her biographer Aurore Évain, \"she seems to have spent the last years of her life being maintained, gradually sinking into prostitution\".Far from the \"debauched courtesan, unworthy mother and venal muse\" to which history has long reduced her, Aurore Évain concludes that \"the few biographical and literary elements we have today enable us to re-establish the portrait of a free, cultivated woman, a promising writer ..., but whose auctorial recognition and literary creation were violently thwarted by the social and moral conditions imposed on women\"."
