"'''TVRS-44 Ladoga''' (Russian: Турбовинтовой Региональный Самолёт на 44 пассажира; Turboprop Regional Airplane for 44 passengers) is a project of a twin-engine turboprop passenger aircraft for local airlines.",
"Developed by UZGA (Ural Civil Aviation Plant), the aircraft itself will be produced at the Samara aircraft plant \"Aviakor\".TVRS-44 \"Ladoga\" is intended to replace the fleet of regional aircraft with a capacity of 30 to 50 seats such as An-24, An-26, An-140 and Yak-40.Can be used on unprepared dirt, grass, snow runways, as well as on airfields with a short runway.",
"TVRS-44 should occupy a niche between the 19-seat L-410 and the 64-seat Il-114-300."
],
[
"History",
"The first (pre-contract) work on this project began in December 2018 at UZGA.",
"The Czech airliner Let L-610 was taken as a basis.",
"On September 2, 2020, the Ministry of Industry and Trade approved the technical specifications for the development work (R&D) “Development of a turboprop regional aircraft” (TVRS), which consolidated the requirements for a local airline aircraft for 44-48 passengers.",
"In the same year, the chief designer of the project, Sergei Merenkov, confirmed that the L-610 was only an inspiration of the TVRS, and two planes will be completely different.",
"On December 25, 2020, a State contract was signed between the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia and UZGA.",
"The estimated cost of one aircraft for 2021, according to UZGA calculations, was about $12 million.",
"Cooperation for the production of elements and aggregates includes cities such as Taganrog, Komsomolsk-on-Amur, Nizhny Novgorod, Samara and Smolensk.On March 9, 2022, the project was officially given the name “Ladoga”.",
"In April 2022, TsAGI specialists, commissioned by UZGA, summed up the interim results of tests of the TVRS-44 aircraft in the wind tunnel in terms of aerodynamic characteristics.",
"In March 2022, a contract was signed, according to which the Samara aircraft plant Aviakor (which previously produced the An-140) became the contractor for the serial construction of the TVRS-44 aircraft.",
"As of April 2022, the development work at UZGA was underway, taking into account the groundwork available for the L-610 aircraft, which was developed in Czechoslovakia at the order of the USSR.",
"The chief designer for the TVRS-44 project is Sergei Merenkov.In August 2022, UZGA demonstrated at the Army-2022 forum a model of the cargo version of the TVRS-44 Ladoga aircraft - TVRS-44T.",
"As with the passenger version, it is planned to use two TV7-117ST-02 turboprop engines with AV-44 propellers as a power plant.",
"The distinctive features of the cargo version are: a fuselage extended by 4 meters and a cargo hatch with a ramp in the rear section.To reduce design time, a number of Russian-made parts and aggregates were used from other serially produced and in production aircraft: cockpit canopy and conical windshields (from An-74 and An-140), main landing gear (from An-72/An-74), front strut (from Su-80GP).",
"Pilot seats (An-140/An-148).In January 2023, it became known that on the basis of the Dubna complex at TsAGI, a series of emergency splashdown tests and a series of ejection tests of a dynamically similar model of the Ladoga aircraft were completed, which consisted of more than 100 launches with different initial parameters.",
"Also in January, it was announced that the United Engine Corporation (UEC) will supply four experimental TV7-117ST-02 engines for preliminary tests, including as part of the aircraft: two in the summer of 2023 and two at the end of the year.Flight tests are planned to be carried out in 2024-2025, when the TV7-117ST engine will be completed.",
"First commercial deliveries to airlines are planned for 2027.According to the comprehensive program for the development of the Russian air transport industry adopted by order of the Government of the Russian Federation at the end of June 2022, it is planned to build 140 TVRS-44 Ladoga passenger aircraft in 2025-2030."
],
[
"Design",
"The aircraft was designed according to a traditional design with an all-metal prefabricated riveted airframe structure with an upper wing.",
"The flaps, spoilers, nose cone and fuselage tip, wing connection with the fuselage and the fairing of the main landing gear are made of composite material.",
"Also, parts of the passenger compartment will be made from composite materials: cabin floors, overhead luggage racks and interior lining.",
"The rudders and ailerons are expected to be of a conservative design.=== Fuselage ===TVRS-44 is designed with the high-wing, which ensures reliable operation from unpaved runways of small settlements.",
"TVRS-44 differs from L-610 in that the fuselage is extended by a meter and its floor width has been increased from 2020 mm to 2250 mm.",
"Also, the front location of the entrance door-stairway was used instead of the rear one.",
"Wing fuel tanks are almost doubled.",
"The maximum take-off weight increased from 15,100 kg to 17,000 kg.=== Propulsion ===In July 2021, it became known that the St. Petersburg enterprise ODK-Klimov received technical specifications for the creation of a power unit (PS) for the TVRS-44 based on the TV7-117ST-01 engines, previously developed for the Il-114-300 aircraft.",
"The engine received the designation TV7-117ST-02.Two such engines with a power of 2400 hp each are installed on the aircraft.",
"There are some improvements from the basic version like an electric start instead of air start, as well as updated wiring, electrical system.",
"In addition, the engine mounts are designed to be suitable for underwing mounting.",
"A number of other smaller design changes were also introduced to make fuel consumption more economical than the base engine.It is planned to use a new composite propeller designated AV-44.It was developed by Aerosila based on the design of the AV-112-114 (Il-114) propeller with blades similar to the SV-34 (An-140) propeller.",
"The diameter of the propeller is 3.6 m."

"Introduction",
"In the mathematical subjects of information theory and decision theory, '''Blackwell's informativeness theorem''' is an important result related to the ranking of information structures, or experiments.",
"It states that there is an equivalence between three possible rankings of information structures: one based in ''expected utility'', one based in ''informativeness'', and one based in ''feasibility''.",
"This ranking defines a partial order over information structures known as the '''Blackwell order''', or '''Blackwell's criterion'''.The theorem states equivalent conditions under which any expected utility maximizing decision maker prefers information structure over , for any decision problem.",
"The result was first proven by David Blackwell in 1951, and generalized in 1953."
],
[
"Setting",
"=== Decision making under uncertainty ===A decision maker faces a set of possible states of the world and a set of possible actions to take.",
"For every and , her utility is .",
"She does not know the state of the world , but has a prior probability for every possible state.",
"For every action she takes, her expected utility is:Given such prior , she chooses an action to maximize her expected utility.",
"We denote such maximum attainable utility (the expected value of taking the optimal action) by:We refer to the data as a ''decision making problem''.=== Information structures ===An ''information structure'' (or an ''experiment'') can be seen as way to improve on the utility given by the prior, in the sense of providing more information to the decision maker.",
"Formally, an information structure is a tuple , where is a signal space and is a function which gives the conditional probability of observing signal when the state of the world is .",
"An information structure can also be thought of as the setting of an experiment.By observing the signal , the decision maker can update her beliefs about the state of the world via Baye's rule, giving the posterior probability:where .",
"By observing the signal and updating her beliefs with the information structure , the decision maker's new expected utility value from taking the optimal action is:and the \"expected value of \" for the decision maker (i.e., the expected value of taking the optimal action under the information structure) is defined as:=== Garbling ===If two information structures and have the same underlying signal space, we abuse some notation and refer to and as information structures themselves.",
"We say that is a '''garbling''' of if there exists a stochastic map (for finite signal spaces , a Markov matrix) such that:Intuitively, garbling is a way of adding \"noise\" to an information structure, such that the garbled information structure is considered to be less informative.=== Feasibility ===A '''mixed strategy''' in the context of a decision making problem is a function which gives, for every signal , a probability distribution over possible actions in .",
"With the information structure , a strategy induces a distribution over actions conditional on the state of the world , given by the mapping:That is, gives the probability of taking action given that the state of the world is under information structure – notice that this is nothing but a convex combination of the with weights .",
"We say that is a ''feasible'' strategy (or conditional probability over actions) under .Given an information structure , let: | be the set of all conditional probability overactions (i.e., strategies) that are feasible under .Given two information structures and , we say that ''yields a larger set of feasible strategies'' than if:"

"Statement",
"Blackwell's theorem states that, given any decision making problem and two information structures and , the following are equivalent:# : that is, the decision maker attains a higher expected utility under than under .#There exists a stochastic map such that : that is, is a garbling of .# :, that is yields a larger set of feasible strategies than ."

"We say that is ''more informative in the sense of Blackwell'' (or simply ''Blackwell more informative'') than if any (and therefore all) of the conditions of Blackwell's theorem holds, and write .The order is not a complete one, and most experiments cannot be ranked by it.",
"More specifically, it is a chain of the partially-ordered set of information structures.=== Applications ===The Blackwell order has many applications in decision theory and economics, in particular in contract theory.",
"For example, if two information structures in a principal-agent model can be ranked in the Blackwell sense, then the more informative one is more efficient in the sense of inducing a smaller cost for second-best implementation."

"'''Honor Board''', '''Board of Honor''' (Russian: Доска почета) in Russia and in Soviet Union is a special board; a stand with the names and photographs (later) of persons who graduated from educational institutions with honors, honorary military personnel, scientists, best employess, and so on.The honor board was usually a wide shield covered with red cloth, and was located at the entrance or in the lobby of a building owned by the organization."
],
[
"History",
"The history of honor boards can be traced back centuries.",
"Already in the 14th century, after the liberation of China from the Mongol yoke, the founder of the new Ming dynasty, Emperor Hongwu, ordered the construction of two pavilions in each village of the empire, one of which would display the good deeds of the residents, and the other would contain a list of offenses committed by the villagers.",
"In the same pavilions, village elders dealt with civil cases and tried violators.In the Russian Empire, in military educational institutions, marble plaques were used as measures to encourage and “excite competition and striving for military valor in students,” it was ordered to have: in the recreational halls of all institutions - gray marble plaques, with the names of the most outstanding pupils of each graduation, and in the churches of the institutions there are black marble plaques to place the names of all former pupils who “fell in the name of honor or died from wounds received in battle, in whatever officer rank they suffered the glorious death of a warrior.”During the Chinese Civil War, red and black boards became widespread in the Chinese Red Army and the “liberated areas” already in the 1930s.In the first years of Soviet power, the Honor Board was called the red board, while as its opposite there was a black board (board of shame; see also Blacklisting (Soviet policy)), on which drunkards, truants and slackers were listed.",
"The honor board was provided for by the “Internal Labor Regulations”, which managed the labor regulations in Soviet institutions, enterprises and organizations.",
"In addition, there were city, district, regional, regional and republican honor boards.With the collapse of the USSR and the change in the political and economic system in the early 1990s, the use of honor boards remained in Russia, in the Russian Armed Forces."

[
"Introduction",
"'''''Gallowayella borealis''''' is a species of saxicolous and muscicolous (rock- and moss-dwelling), lichen in the family Teloschistaceae.",
"The lichen is characterized by a foliose (leafy) thallus that forms small, cushion-like clusters, with that are often convex and have a distinctive orange colour with a reddish tint, occasionally covered in .",
"It reproduces vegetatively through abundant soralia producing rounded, -like soredia.",
"Chemically, it contains high levels of parietin among other lichen products.",
"''Gallowayella borealis'' thrives on both horizontal and vertical rock surfaces, often enriched by guano, and is particularly abundant in continental Antarctica, co-existing with ''Polycauliona candelaria'' near penguin rookeries.",
"It has a bipolar distribution, found in the Arctic and boreal forests of the Northern Hemisphere as well as in ice-free zones of continental Antarctica."
],
[
"Taxonomy",
"The lichen was formally described as a new species in 1992 by Rolf Santesson and Josef Poelt, who classified it in the genus ''Xanthoria''.",
"The type specimen was collected in 1943 by Santesson from the island of Abisko-suolo off Abisko, Sweden.",
"The taxon was later proposed for transfer to the genera ''Xanthomendoza'' in 2002, and ''Oxneria'' in 2003."
],
[
"Description",
"''Gallowayella borealis'' has a saxicolous (rock-dwelling) or muscicolous (moss-dwelling) foliose (leaf-like) thallus, typically clustering into small, cushion-like formations up to 1.5 cm in diameter.",
"Its , which can be flat but are more commonly strongly convex, measure up to 1 mm across.",
"These lobes extend horizontally or more frequently rise upwards or stand erect, often securely attached to the by a central holdfast.",
"The margins of the lobes are intricately cut or scalloped, curving downwards to form narrow, finger-like extensions that often bear a more yellowish hue; the overall colour is orange with a reddish tint when subjected to bright light, occasionally displaying a light dusting of (a powdery coating).The presence of rhizines (root-like structures for attachment) is very sparse.",
"Soralia, the structures that produce soredia for vegetative reproduction, are plentiful and feature soredia, a term indicating a budding form of reproduction.",
"These soralia irregularly appear on the underside of the lobe tips, which may resemble lips, helmets, or cornets in shape.",
"The soredia themselves are approximately 40 μm in diameter, varying in quantity from sparse and contained to abundant and freely dispersed.Reproductive structures known as apothecia (fruiting bodies bearing spores) have not been observed in this species.",
"Pycnidia, which are asexual reproductive structures producing conidia (spores), are exceedingly rare, either flush with the surface or slightly protruding, and match the upper lobe surface in colour.",
"The conidia are (rod-shaped), clear, and measure between 1.9 and 3.4 μm in length and 1 to 1.5 μm in width.Chemically, all examined specimens of ''Gallowayella borealis'' are characterised by high concentrations of parietin alongside minor quantities of teloschistin, fallacinal, parietinic acid, and emodin, a suit of secondary metabolites aligning with what is referred to as A.",
"This specific chemical composition contributes to the lichen's distinctive appearance and reproductive mechanisms."
],
[
"Habitat and distribution",
"''Gallowayella borealis'' is found growing on both horizontal and vertical rock surfaces, which are often enriched by substances like guano.",
"In continental Antarctica, this species is abundant, thriving on moss cushions alongside ''Polycauliona candelaria'' in areas enriched by nutrients from penguin rookeries.This lichen is recognised as a truly bipolar species, being widely distributed in the Arctic regions of the Northern Hemisphere and extending into the boreal forest zones.",
"Its range spans southwards to central Scandinavia in Europe and to British Columbia in North America, although it is not very common in these locations.",
"Previous records from Oregon, Colorado, and the Himalayas have been corrected to belong to ''Xanthomendoza mendozae''.In the Southern Hemisphere, ''Gallowayella borealis'' is abundant in ice-free areas of continental Antarctica but is absent from the maritime Antarctic regions.",
"The species' presence in Antarctica is hypothesised to be a result of long-distance transport, possibly via birds or wind, suggesting a preference for continental climates.",
"Its rarity in certain climates may also reflect the incidental nature of its dispersal to suitable microhabitats.",
"The Andes in southern South America have yet to be thoroughly explored to confirm the absence of ''G.",
"borealis'' there."

"Mauryas of Puri"
],
[
"Introduction",
"The '''Maurya''' dynasty ruled the coastal Konkan region in present-day Goa and Maharashtra states of India, between the 4th and the 7th centuries.",
"Their capital was '''Puri''', which is variously identified as Gharapuri (Elephanta), Salsette, or Rajapuri (near Janjira).",
"The dynasty is known only from a few records, and there is very little clarity on its genealogy, chronology, territory, administration and political status."
],
[
"Origin and chronology",
"Historian D.C. Sircar (1942) theorized that the Mauryas of Konkana and the Mauryas of Rajasthan \"apparently\" claimed descent from the imperial Maurya prince-viceroys of Ujjayini and Suvarnagiri.",
"Later writers have repeated this theory, although no concrete evidence of imperial Maurya rule has been discovered in the Goa region.=== Northern Konkan ===The 400 CE Vada inscription from the reign of the Maurya king Suketu-varman, dated to the Shaka year 322, suggests that the Mauryas ruled the northern Konkan region in present-day Maharashtra at the end of the 4th century.",
"Historian Ajay Mitra Shastri theorizes that Suketavarman was probably a Traikutaka vassal, while historian V.T.",
"Gune theorizes that the Mauryas were probably Kalachuri vassals.According to one theory, the Maurya capital Puri was located on the Elephanta Island.",
"As early as 1322 CE, European visitors mention the name Porus or Pori, referring to a king or a city, and identitying it with the Elephanta Island or the nearby Thane.",
"Gharapuri, another name for the island, is attested in a book by Edward Moor (1810).",
"The names of Morbandar or Moreh-bandar (\"Mor or Maurya port\") and Raj-bandar (\"royal port\"), two small villages on the Island, may be relics of the Maurya rule on the island.",
"Historian S.J.",
"Mangalam has attributed some lead coins discovered on the Elephanta Island to the Mauryas, although numismatist P. L. Gupta has disputed this.",
"Some scholars dispute the identification of Puri with Elephanta, arguing that the island is too small and of uneven terrain to support a capital city, and that the archaeological remains found there are mainly religious in nature.=== Southern Konkan ===During 6th-7th century, the Mauryas seem to have extended their rule to southern Konkan (the present-day northern Goa), where the Bhojas of Goa may have been their feudatories.",
"Inscriptions of kings Anirjita-varman and Chandra-varman, who ruled from the Kumara-dwipa island (modern Cumbarjua), have been discovered in this area.",
"Historians have dated these inscriptions to 5th-6th century on palaeographical grounds.",
"The dynasty of these kings is not certain, with some historians identifying them as Mauryas, while others identifying them as Bhojas.",
"For example, Chandravarman's inscription is fragmentary and only few letters are visible in the first line.",
"D.C. Sircar, who read these letters as \"māryya\", comments that they could have formed another word or a part of another word, including \"...m āryya\", \"mauryya\", or \"praṇayinā\"."
],
[
"Inscriptions",
"The Vada stone inscription, issued during the reign of Suketu-varman, refers to the construction of Hindu temples such as Koteshvara (or Kotishvara), Vasishtheshvara, and Siddheshvara at Vataka (modern Vada).",
"For example, it states that Simha-datta, the son of Kumara-datta, installed an image of the god Kotishvara.",
"No remains of these temples exist now, although the ''Gazetteer of the Bombay Presidency'' records the existence of an old temple at Vada in the 19th century.The Bandora (Bandiwade) copper-plate inscription of Anirjita-varman records the grant of tax-exempt land in Dvadasa-desha (modern Bardez) to Hastyarya, a learned Samavedi Brahmin of Hariti ''gotra''.",
"The grant included one ''hala'' (a unit) of ''khajjana'' coastal wetland.",
"The donee was expected to convert this wetland into a cultivated field by constructing a bund to prevent the salty sea water from entering the land.",
"In addition, the grant included some forest land, which the donee was expected to convert into a field by employing four batches of workers to clear the forest.",
"The king also granted the donee some land previously belonging to an unnamed Rashtrakuta, with a garden, an irrigation tank, and a site for building a house.",
"The grant addresses the residents of a ''desh'' (an administrative unit comprising 12 villages) and officials of the present and the future.",
"This suggests that the donee held considerable power in the village administration.The Shiroda copper-plate inscription of Chandra-varman records the grant of a land to a Buddhist ''maha-vihara'' at Shivapura (modern Shiroda)."
],
[
"Economy",
"Chalukya records describe the Maurya capital Puri as the \"Goddess of the fortune of western ocean\", suggesting that they were a local maritime power.",
"The Maurya economy apparently featured both sea trade and inalnd trade.",
"There is some evidence of customs posts set up at Tana (near Ponda), Curdi, and Cortalim.",
"However, there is not enough historical data to quantify or analyze such trade in detail.Agriculture was likely an important revenue base for the state, as the contemporary inscriptions refer to reclamation of coastal wetlands and forests for agriculture.",
"The inscriptions attest to the existence of the ''khajjana'' system (later known as ''khazan''), which involved construction of embankments to prevent the sea water from entering the coastal paddy fields.",
"The kings made land grants to the Brahmins, who legitimised their royal status in return."
],
[
"Decline",
"The Maurya rule likely ended as a result of Chalukya invasions from the south.",
"The Aihole inscription of the Chalukya king Pulakeshin II describes his father Kirttivarman I (r. c. 566–592) as \"the night of doom\" for the Mauryas and other dynasties.",
"The Chalukya records suggest that Kirttivarman defeated the Mauryas and appointed a new governor for the former Maurya territory.",
"Bhojas, the former vassals of the Mauryas, may have accepted the Chalukya suzerainty.The Mauryas probably continued to hold power as Chalukya vassals during the reign of Kirttivarman's brother and successor Mangalesha, but declared independence during the Chalukya war of succession between Mangalesha and Pulakeshin II.",
"After consolidating his power in southern Deccan, Pulakeshin II successfully besieged the Mauryan capital Puri, ending their rule.",
"His Aihole inscription states:The fact that the Mauryas survived Kirttivarman's invasion and Pulakeshin II required a large force to subdue Puri suggests that the Mauryas were a formidable power before the Chalukya conquest.",
"The 710 CE inscription of the Chalukya vassal Bhogashakti attests to his family's rule over the \"Puri-Konkana\" country comprising 14,000 villages."

"The novel is set in the distant past, in the then fairly temperate country of Ultima Thule, now buried beneath Arctic ice.",
"This primitive realm is made of up various bands, but has a king, Orfas.",
"Young protagonist Arnten is shunned by his peers in his band due to his inquiring mind and his status as son of the exiled were-bear Arntat.",
"Nonetheless, he is allowed to join in a hunt for wild horses by the more tolerant Tall Roke, the band's best hunter.",
"The expedition comes to grief when the hunters encounter a mammoth, resulting in most of the party killed and Arnten scapegoated for the disaster.",

[
"Reception",
"Editor and critic Rich Horton calls the book \"an enjoyable novel,\" and \"liked\" it, praising some \"neat scenes,\" including an interlude with a \"perry\" (peri), \"the scene with the wizards, and the stories of Arntat's adventures with Orfas.\"",
"But he feels the plot is \"pretty straightforward, and doesn't really surprise much,\" and the writing, while possessing \"the slant rhythms and odd turns of phrase and delight in unveiling of esoteric knowledge that we expect, ... doesn't quite sing here like the best Davidson prose.\"",
"All in all, he asesses it as \"a fairly minor part of the Avram Davidson canon.",
"\"The book was also reviewed by Richard A. Lupoff in ''Algol'' no.",

"Theatre of the Film Noir"

[
"Introduction",
"'''''Theatre of the Film Noir''''' is a stage play by Canadian playwright George F. Walker.",
"Inspired by film noir tropes, the play centres on Inspector Clair, a detective who is investigating the death of Jean, a young gay resistance fighter in the aftermath of the Liberation of Paris in 1944.Characters in the play include Bernard, Jean's lover; Liliane, Jean's sister; Eric, a German Nazi officer and Liliane's lover whom she is hiding in her home to protect him; and Hank, an American soldier whom Liliane enlists to kill Bernard before he can inform the detective about Eric.The play was originally promoted as an adaptation of an unpublished play by a French playwright named Henri Berger, although this was a publicity stunt and neither Henri Berger nor the \"original\" play actually existed.",
"In fact, the play drew on some plot and character elements of Jean Genet's novel ''Funeral Rites'', to the extent that the producers took the precaution of having copyright lawyers review the works before taking the production on a European tour, with the lawyers ultimately finding that the works were different enough to not raise infringement issues."

"The Portuguese forces eventually capitulated, then evacuated the place."
],
[
"Background",
"In 1481, king Afonso died and was succeeded by his son, John.",
"Jon decided to continue his predesscor policy of expansion in Morocco.",
"John began working on strengthening the Portuguese position by establishing a fortress in the interior, which could be easily supplied and reinforced by sea.",
"In February 1489, an expedition was launched led by Gaspar Jusarte with the mission of establishing a fort next to the Loukkos River which received its name as Gracisoa.",
"Diego Fernandes de Almeida was given the governance of the fort.The vessels went to the river with no difficulty, and workers were disembarked to build.",
"The site, however, proved to be disadvantageous despite being protected by cannons from the fort and Caravels.",
"The river was sluggish and was surrounded by marshy swamps, serpentine coils, and oxbow lakes.",
"Aware of the Portuguese activity, the Moroccan sultan, Muhammad al-Wattasi, rushed to the fort in an attempt to dislodge them from there."
],
[
"Siege",
"As summer approached, the Moroccan tribes came from the hills and began surrounding the Portuguese fort, harassing the enemy.",

"The Portuguese artillery and Caravals fired at the Moroccans day and night, which kept the Moroccans at bay.",
"In response, the sultan had brought cannons with him to engage with the enemy.",
"By mid-August, casualties were mounting up on both sides, and the river mud was stained with blood from both sides.Seeing that the siege was prolonged, the sultan, on the advice of a renegade, had all the oak trees cut and embedded on the Loukkos river, which blocked the river two leagues downstream.",
"Now the Moroccans had no need to fight.",
"The trapped Portuguese ships were incapable of escaping, and the Portuguese were forced to captiulate.",
"Both sides signed a peace treaty on August 27.A ten-year truce was signed, and the Portuguese were allowed to evacuate with all their baggage."

"Newcastle Rangers F.C."

"was an English association football club from Newcastle-upon-Tyne."
],
[
"History",
"1880–81 Northumberland & Durham Senior Cup, Rangers 5–0 Sunderland, Newcastle Daily Journal, 14 February 1881The club was founded in 1878, and was the second association club to be formed, after Tyne Association.",
"The club was often known simply as '''Rangers''' given the lack of risk of confusion with the Glaswegian club.In January 1880, it was one of the six clubs which formed the Northumberland and Durham Association.",
"The six teams arranged for a new competition, the Northumberland and Durham Association Cup, and Rangers was the first winner, beating Haughton-le-Skerne 1–0 in the final, played at the Tyne Cricket Ground.",
"The winning goal was credited to captain Simms, whose shot was parried through the post by Dodds.",
"In the semi-final Rangers had beaten Sunderland 5–0.Rangers retained the trophy at the same venue in 1881–82; the original final against Corbridge ended in a 1–1 draw, R. Mitchelson scoring the Rangers' goal after 35 minutes, after Smith could only half-save a V. Mitchelson shot, equalizing a first-minute goal.",
"Rangers won the replay 2–0 with goals from Simms in the first half, and Lochhead near the end, unmarked enough at a corner to nod the ball down to himself to finish.Rangers' stature on the local scene was properly shown by it providing four players (and two reserves) for the county representative match against Cleveland in 1883.However it lost its hold on the local cup, losing 1–0 to eventual winner Tyne Association in the semi-final.The competition did not survive into a fourth season, splitting between the Northumberland Senior Cup and Durham Challenge Cup, and Rangers duly entered the former in 1883–84.Ostensibly still a strong side, the Rangers beat Alnwick 6–0 at Dalton Street in the second round, However Rangers could only muster 9 men for a match at Ovingham - which Rangers nevertheless still won - suggesting that interest was fading.",
"The club finished the 1883–84 season with two defeats in competitive matches - to Tyne Association in the Northumberland Senior Cup final in March and to Newcastle F.C.",
"in the Northumberland Charity Shield semi-final in April, the club again being handicapped in the latter tie by playing with a man short.",
"After this, star player Lochhead returned to Glasgow for work, and that seems to have robbed most of the first choice players of any desire to continue playing, not merely just for Rangers, but for anyone; the last recorded match for the club, a defeat at Sleekburn Wanderers in September 1884, was with more or less the second XI which had played the equivalent fixture the season before.",
"With the game growing, nobody seemed to notice, or even care, that one of the top two sides in the area in 1883–84 had disappeared, and by 1885 the Newcastle Rangers name was being used by a rugby club."
],
[
"Colours",
"The club originally played in dark blue, modified to navy blue and white from 1882."
],
[
"Ground",
"Due to a lack of suitable grounds in Newcastle itself, the club started out using the Drill Field in Gateshead as its home, basing itself in the Prince Consort Arms.Rangers was the first proper football club to play at St James' Park, doing so from 1880 to 1882.The club originally used the Strawberry House for changing facilities but had a club room open by December 1880.In October 1882 the club moved to a \"capital field\" on Dalton Street in Byker, using the Railway Station Hotel for changing rooms."

"Jumalan teatteri"
],
[
"Introduction",
"'''Jumalan teatteri''' (Finnish for \"the theatre of God\") was a Finnish avant-garde, radicalist actor group of four student actors from the Helsinki Theatre Academy.",
"The group was composed of the current directors Esa Kirkkopelto and Jari Halonen as well as the current actors Jorma Tommila and Jari Hietanen.",
"The group is best remembered for their experimental act at the Oulu Theatre Days in 1987, which was aggressively directed at the public and became an internationally known scandal."
],
[
"Oulu Theatre Days scandal",
"The Oulu City Theatre.===Course of the events===The act of Jumalan teatteri was performed at the Oulu City Theatre on 17 January 1987.Four students from the Helsinki Theatre Academy had announced a couple of days earlier in the ''Kaleva'' newspaper they would be performing \"a manifesto of what theatre can now be and what it can not be\" at a seminar at the Northern Theatre Days.The students, who performed in the nude, had stolen fire extinguishers from the VR Group, which they used to spray extinguishing powder all around the theatre hall.",
"They also whipped the public and threw excrement, chicken eggs and yoghurt on top of the public.",
"They also threw firecrackers around in the hall.",
"The public fled the scene and the automatic fire extinguishing system was triggered.",
"The fire brigade arrived on the scene.",
"Some of the public had to go into hospital care because of respiratory damages caused by the explosive gases released from the firecrackers.",
"After their two-minute act, the actors also fled into the city, where the police arrested them.===Reaction from the Theatre Academy===At the time, the press could not be present to hear the members of the group, so the inspiration of the act was subject to investigation.",
"Many people thought the inspiration came from Jouko Turkka and his methods of teaching, which had also been subject to public debate earlier, before the Oulu act.Acting principal of the Theatre Academy Marianne Möller thought the inspiration was the need for publicity of the \"young theatre kids\".",
"The management of the academy as well as most of the teachers distanced themselves from the production, citing the students had done it on their private time.On the other hand, professor of directing Jouko Turkka from the Theatre Academy and acting teacher of dramaturgy Jussi Parviainen sided themselves with the theatre group, although they claimed they had not known of the act beforehand.",
"This brought the arguments at the academy to public light.",
"Jouko Turkka said he would \"tip his hat at the boys\" and \"support his dear students\".Around ten students of the Theatre Academy formed an \"open student body\" supporting Jumalan teatteri in early February, demanding that Jussi Parviainen be appointed the new principal and that Marianne Möller, professor of acting work Ritva Valkama and teacher Erkki Saarela be expelled from the academy.",
"A few days later, eight members of the \"open student body\" caused a scene at the premises of the Theatre Academy in Eira, Helsinki by breaking windows and throwing things out into the snow.",
"At the same time, the members of the theatre group chained themselves into the front doors of the academy.===Political controversy===The performance of the group caused a huge scandal.",
"Minister of Culture Gustav Björkstrand wanted to expel Turkka and Parviainen from their offices.",
"At the Parliament of Finland, there even was discussion about closing the Theatre Academy down.",
"The right wing demanded rough action and the left wing warned about the dangers of a lynching mentality.",
"In a question to Björkstrand, Christian Democrat parliament member Esko Almgren asked \"What is the government going to do to immediately stop the tax-funded activity by Jouko Turkka, Jussi Parviainen and the Theatre Academy aimed at anarchism and terror, damaging the art of the theatre?\"",
"In late January 1987 the government of Finland announced they would appoint a task force led by chancellor of the Ministry of the Enviroment Lauri Tarasti to investigate the internal problems at the Theatre Academy.===Reaction from the press===The reaction from the politicians also awakened the academic and cultural circles in Finland.",
"Theatre critic Juha-Pekka Hotinen wrote a debate article at the newspaper ''Helsingin Sanomat'' claiming that \"the purpose of the act was to investigate the fuzzy consensus community and its use of power\".",
"Hotinen claimed the Jumalan teatteri group had succeeded in this.",
"According to Hotinen, the control structure of the community had been bared for a brief moment.",
"According to Hotinen, a scandal using aesthetics performed in a quick fashion resembled terrorism.",
"In considering the Jumalan teatteri act as a rebellion by the young theatre generation, Hotinen compared it to the ''Lapualaisooppera'' act of 1966 and to the play ''Pete Q'' of 1978.He claimed the press had inflated the signifance of Jumalan teatteri \"in an absurd manner\", because he thought this had not been an unprecedented act in the theatre circles: ''\"History knows of many attacks to the public, even as far as ritual suicides by artists.",
"-- This does not negate that the act was repulsive in many fashions.",
"\"''Professor Jouko Turkka, a teacher at the Theatre Academy, said in an interview by ''Helsingin Sanomat'' that real terrorism would not start at a theatre, but individual acts of terrorism would be possible in a Finland consisting of casino economy, yuppie culture and postmodernism.Only ''Hufvudstadsbladet'' reviewed the act as a performance on its own right and separated the reaction caused by the act from the act itself.",
"''Uusi Suomi'' and ''Iltalehti'' were the harshest in judging Jumalan teatteri.",
"Jyrki Vesikansa, editor at '''Uusi Suomi'' published a column titled \"Milloin ruumiita?\"",
"(\"When will there be bodies?\")",
"underneath the editorial, demanding that the Minister of Culture act against the \"Turkkaesque\" theaterical education.",
"Discussion about Jumalan teatteri quieted down from late February to early March, but awakened fresh at the start of the trial in early September.Kari Suomalainen, the editorial cartoonist at ''Helsingin Sanomat'', commented on the issue with a cartoon where two men were discussing on the street: ''\"Arvaa, mikä yhden kirjaimen ero on tasa-arvovaltuutetulla ja nykyteatterilla?\"",
"- \"En tiedä.\"",
"- \"Toinen on Nikula ja toinen nakula!\"''",
"(\"Can you guess what is the one-letter difference between the equality officer and modern theatre?\"",
"- \"No.\"",
"- \"One is Nikula and the other is a house of nudity!",
"\")Author Matti Mäkelä has analysed the scandal in his 2016 essay collection ''Tämä ei ole taidetta'' (\"This is not art\").",
"According to Mäkelä, the Jumalan teatteri case was handled amazingly fast and superficially.",
"This was because of many reasons: Yleisradio had not yet learned to handle provocation as news, the press had diminished and the Internet had not yet changed the structure of publicity.",
"According to Mäkelä, the performers of Jumalan teatteri had behaved seriously badly.===Jari Halonen's later view===Jari Halonen told in 2016 in the ''Perjantai'' show on Yleisradio:===Jussi Parvianen's later view===Jussi Parviainen told at a 2017 event by the Oulu Merikoskikerho club along with former cultural reporter Kaisu Mikkola that Jumalan teatteri had had nothing to do with theatre.",
"It was an act of terror.",
"Hatred and need for attention.",
"There was no other explanation.According to chief criminal inspector Kari Myllyniemi who had led the investigation Turkka had acted cowardly in denying that he had publicly mentioned anything positive about Jumalan teatteri when he was interrogated by the police.",
"According to Parviainen, the final destruction of the Theatre Academy started from Turkka's exact words.",
"It gave birth to Pirun teatteri (\"the theatre of the devil\") that had destroyed the academy.",
"According to Parviainen, it was unforgivable that many students at the Theatre Academy were left without education and training in their profession after Jumalan teatteri.",
"Many dropped out of the academy.",
"The academy continued its provocations in Helsinki.",
"Students calling themselves Pirun teatteri caused a scene at the academy.",
"Many students were afraid.",
"Parviainen recalled that it was a terrible time and the academy had collapsed under itself.Parviainen affirmed that there was controversy about Turkka's \"malaria theatre\" and the media had turned against it.",
"In this situation the students wanted to defend the academy.",
"According to Parviainen, the Theatre Academy had a lot of good in it and its destruction was a loss to many gifted students, who also studied intensively and wanted to continue their studies completely separate from Jumalan teatteri and its provocative activity."
],
[
"Court process against Jumalan teatteri",
"Two days after the act about ten people at the Theatre Days reported the group to the police and the Oulu police department started investigating the case.",
"The Helsinki criminal police interrogated Jouko Turkka and Jussi Parviainen about their possible involvement in the case.The process started at the Oulu district court in early September.",
"The Oulu city official acting as the prosecutor demanded punishment for the group for theft, fraud and continued crimes where explosives were used to endanger people's lives and health, and for continued insult, continued assault and damages.",
"The actors plead guilty to almost all of the charges.",
"The prosecutor had also planned to charge the group for blasphemy, but dropped the charge because of the negative point of view of archbishop John Vikström.",
"One of the accused was assisted by famous lawyer Matti Wuori, who thought that a criminal evaluation of the case should be based on that the public at the act had been a professional public at the Theatre Days, who should have been prepared for a different kind of performance, and not an \"unsuspecting Sunday public who had come to see Moominpappa, but instead ended up in the middle of even symbolically unpleasant phenomena of life\"."
],
[
"Consequences",
"The members of the group were expelled from the Theatre Academy for a year, and were sentenced to seven months in prison with parole, fines of 17 thousand markka and to pay 40 thousand markka worth of compensation mostly for hospital and cleaning charges.",
"They accepted the sentence given by the court and served their sentence at a labour camp.The members of the group who had demonstrated in favour of Jumalan teatteri and had broken things at the Theatre Academy were also expelled from the academy and sentenced to short prison sentences with parole.",
"The most famous member of this so-called \"Pirun teatteri\" group was the current journalist and Minister of Traffic and Communications Timo Harakka.The case led to the expulsion of the principal of the Theatre Academy Outi Nyytäjä and three teachers."

"The Sweet Landscape"
],
[
"Introduction",
"'''''The Sweet Landscape''''' (French: ''Doux Pays'') is an oil on canvas painting by the French painter Pierre Puvis de Chavannes, created in 1882.It is held at the Musée Bonnat, in Bayonne."
],
[
"History and description",
"This work is an idyll which represents four young women and three children, more or less naked, enjoying their time on a promontory overlooking the sea, where are visible several sailboats.",
"Presented at the Salon of 1882, the painter exchanged this work for a ''Portrait of Puvis de Chavannes''.",
"also exhibited there, executed by his friend painter Léon Bonnat.",
"Since then it then adorned the staircase of his colleague's private mansion on rue de Bassano, in Paris.It is a fundamental pictorial work when studying symbolism since it is a capital work in the production of Pierre Puvis de Chavannes.",
"It depicts a series of characters recreating themselves on the shores of a lake.",
"The fact that there is hardly any sensation of depth stands out.",
"The palette that the painter uses here gives the work greater mysticism, something sought after among the French symbolists.It is a painting where the search for an ideal beauty is evident as well as a desire for formal simplification.",
"It is also characterized by academic gravity and formality loaded with a certain timeless universality, that indicates a strong rejection of the transitory.",
"In this and all of Puvis de Chavannes paintings there is what has been called an “impulsive order”, undoubtedly due to his scientific training intermingled with his personality as a symbolist painter.This work can be related to another important work by Puvis de Chavannes, ''The Poor Fisherman'' (1881).",
"The transcendence of misery in the figure of the fisherman, represents for the artist another immortal theme, which can be found in his symbolist works.Several drawings and a painted sketch, now at the Yale University Art Gallery, are known of this painting."

"H.H. Martyn & Co."

[
"Introduction",
"When Herbert Henry Martin (1842-1937) left his employer in 1874 and set up in business with a stonemason colleague, he could little have imagined that during his lifetime it would grow to employ more than a thousand people.",
"Indeed, the reason he decided to leave was that he resented the injustice of his employer in ascribing some of his work to others.",
"He grew up in poverty, but by that time, he was a skilled craftsman specialising in wood and stone carving with a rich experience of working in churches and carving memorials and gravestones.",
"In 1888 the company was established as an association of art craftsmen.",
"Together with his business partner Alfred Jeffrey Ems he worked on several churches.",
"In 1900 he established a limited company.",
"At this time, at the age of 30, his son Alfred Willie Martyn (A.W.)",
"was made managing director.",
"A.W.’s goal was to provide a complete service for architects.",
"By then it had diversified into decorative plaster work, joinery, cabinet making, wrought iron work and casting in bronze and gun metal.Starting in 1909 with the SS Orvieto and her sister ship SS Otranto, the company took on interior fitting and furnishing work for passenger ships, including the RMS Lusitania and the SS Empress of Asia.After the outbreak of the First World War, A.W.",
"investigated the possibility of involving the company in the production of wooden airframes, and soon they were active in making fuselages and wings for a variety of aircraft.",
"Much of the work was carried out by women.",
"In 1917 the Gloucestershire Aircraft Company (later known as Gloster Aircraft) was established.The period immediately after the war proved difficult for the company, but they were fortunate to obtain a contract for the extension of the Lalbagh Palace in India.",
"In the years following the war, commemoration proved to be culturally important, and the company was involved in the creation of many war memorials, including the Cenotaph in Whitehall.",
"A.W.",
"Resigned from the board of both H.H.",
"Martyn and Gloster Aircraft in 1927 after “acute differences of opinion with several of the board members”, and in 1934 the business was sold to Maples of London.Despite the lack of family involvement, many aspects of the business continued to flourish in the following years, although the depression in the 1930s took its toll.",
"Among many other liners, both the Queen Mary and the Queen Elizabeth contained furniture and fittings from Martyns.",
"Numerous decorative contracts ranged from royal commissions to public buildings, universities, cathedrals, offices, country houses and banks, hotels, cinemas, shops, and theatres.",
"During the 1930s the Corinthian capitals above the entrance to the Geological Museum, now part of the Science Museum, were carved by Martyns, and they also built the bronze main entrance and the aluminium bronze screens to the reading room for Cambridge University Library.",
"As part of the reconstruction of the Bank of England the bronze figure of Ariel on the dome by Charles Wheeler was cast by Martyns.Although the Martyns Sunningend factory in Cheltenham was no longer suitable for constructing aircraft in the Second World War, it was involved in the construction of Horsa gliders.After the war, the task of commemoration of the fallen largely consisted of adding panels to existing memorials, but in the case of the Commandos this was not possible, because they were only established in June 1940.The memorial to them was created by Scott Sutherland, cast by Martyns, and unveiled by the Queen Mother in 1952.Other notable statues cast by Martyns include the statue of Churchill in the Guildhall by Oscar Nemon and the equestrian statue of Robert the Bruce by Pilkington Jackson which was unveiled by the Queen in 1964.The House of Commons of the United Kingdom was destroyed by German bombing during the war.",
"Martyns created the new Speaker's Chair, the Dispatch Boxes, and the table on which the boxes sit.",
"The pulpit and sounding board in St. Paul's Cathedral were carved and built by Martyns, and used for the first time on the occasion of the funeral of Sir Winston Churchill in 1965.Two life-size racehorses by John Skeaping were cast by Martyns, Hyperion in 1962 and Chamossaire in 1966.The statue of Hyperion is now located in the grounds of the National Horse Racing Museum, while that of Chamossaire is in Snailwell.In the years after the war, shipping companies worked to make good the losses of passenger liners they had incurred.",
"There was also the need to refit liners, such as the Queen Mary, which had been taken over for war service.",
"One particularly notable new ship was the RMS Caronia, for which all the decorative metalwork was provided by Martyns.",
"Later work included the iconic spiral staircase on the SS Canberra, and the provision of panelling, ceilings, and fittings on the QE2.H.H.",
"Martyns had a sports field consisting of five tennis courts, two football pitches, a cricket ground and a running track.",

"It was recorded on August 9, 2019, and September 18, 2019, at Park West Studios in Brooklyn, New York, and was released in 2020 by Cuneiform Records."
],
[
"Reception",
"Steve Futterman of ''The New Yorker'' called Taylor \"resourceful and responsive as ever,\" while describing Settles and Podgurski as \"two players who share his inclination and ability to shift easily from serenity to improvisational fervor.\"",
"He wrote: \"The trio's animated interplay commands attention throughout the set, but the concluding piece, 'Between Sound and Silence,' is a most satisfying endgame: a carefully modulated and, in its hymnlike conclusion, poignant exchange among shrewd individualists who cohere as a band.",
"\"''NPR Music'''s Kevin Whitehead stated: \"I like the tough sound of this unit, partly due to a slightly odd lineup.",
"There's no bass instrument, which throws off typical ensemble balance, but it opens up possibilities for different ways to kick the rhythm along facilitated by the tunes the players write...",
"This college reunion is a happy one.",
"The good vibrations radiate out from the drum stool.\"",
"The album was also featured in NPR's 2020 Jazz Critics Poll.Will Layman of ''PopMatters'' commented: \"the outward flying energy of the Chad Taylor Trio on this recording is a fresh joy... ''The Daily Biological'', stripped down to this nimble power trio, goes wherever it wants to go, wherever the music takes it.",
"Fun but heady, it's the kind of stuff to sustain you all day long.",
"\"Writing for ''The Washington Post'', Chris Richards noted that Settles \"blows warm gusts of melody through the band's geometric arrangements to dazzling effect,\" and remarked: \"There's a lot to love on this album, but don't miss the discreet, stocktaking sax solo during 'Swamp,' a Settles composition presumably aimed at those who only see his hometown as a political quagmire.",
"\"In a review for ''Point of Departure'', Troy Collins wrote: \"The trio's coiled interplay commands attention throughout the set, but the group also excels at minimalism... No one record easily encapsulates Taylor's wide-ranging artistry.",
"With Podgurski and Settles by his side however, ''The Daily Biological'' covers a lot of fertile ground, making this a most promising debut for the Chad Taylor Trio.",
"\"''Exposé Online'''s Jan Davis stated: \"The three players work together admirably, presenting often angular melodies very lyrically.",
"I'm often reminded of the kind of awkward intervals that Thelonious Monk was prone to, with unusual phrasing... ''The Daily Biological'' is a very enjoyable set of slightly-avant jazz that's accessible enough for most jazz fans but adventurous enough to please those who lean to the more unpredictable side.\"S.",
"Victor Aaron of ''Something Else!''",
"commented: \"With all the shades of progressive music that Chad Taylor thrives in, no record of his is going to do more than scratch the surface of his artistry.",
"With Neil Podgurski and Brian Settles by his side, ''The Daily Biological'' does cover a lot of that fertile ground, though.",
"\"Writing for ''Marlbank'', Stephen Graham remarked: \"Taylor... is very impressive throughout and maintains a loose feel that is welcoming but not at all lazy.",
"I wouldn't say this is a groove record but it has a head bobbing intensity to it but is no way just wild futile anarchy... Worth wrapping your weary ears around more than a few times.\""

"Introduction",
"290px'''''The Wild Boar Hunt''''' is a 1615-1617 oil on canvas painting by Peter Paul Rubens, now in the musée des Beaux-Arts de Marseille.",
"It reprises the composition of ''The Battle of Anghiari'' by Leonardo da Vinci.<!---"
],
[
"Contexte",
"=== Rubens dans les années 1610 ===Pierre Paul Rubens, autoportrait de 1623.Né à Siegen en 1577, Pierre Paul Rubens a eu une influence considérable dans l'art européen du , considéré comme l'instigateur avec Rembrandt du style baroque.",
"En 1587, il entre en formation dans l'atelier anversois d'Adam van Noort.",
"De 1600 à 1608, Rubens part en Italie où il reçoit l'influence des peintres italiens de la Renaissance, notamment de Titien, Le Tintoret, Le Caravage et Michel-Ange, mais également de Giulio Romano.Rubens retourne et travaille dans son propre atelier d'Anvers de la fin de l'année 1608 à 1621.Dans les années 1610 et 1620, époque correspondant à la mise en œuvre de ''La Chasse au tigre'', l'art de Rubens est imprégné de thèmes dramatiques et passionnels.",
"Dès son retour d'Italie, deux séries de tableaux peuvent être distinguées : la première se caractérise par un échelonnement des personnages en profondeur, comme dans ''La Défaite de Sennacherib'', alors que dans la seconde, la majorité des figures sont placées au premier plan, comme ''La Chasse au tigre''.",
"Le style de Rubens, antérieurement plus influencé par Le Caravage et Michel-Ange, devient plus classique, avec une structure harmonieuse, des personnages plus sculpturaux et des couleurs saturées, marqués par des œuvres comme ''La Descente de Croix'' de la cathédrale Notre-Dame d'Anvers.=== Le thème de la chasse ===''La Chasse au loup et au renard'' est la première œuvre de Rubens entièrement consacrée au thème de la chasse.Le thème de la chasse est très populaire de la moitié du jusqu'au .",
"Il est très proche de celui des batailles, également fréquent à cette époque.",
"Ces deux thèmes sont très présents dans l’œuvre de Rubens, qui est considéré comme l'un des artistes ayant renouvelé ce genre sous-exploité depuis la Renaissance.Entre 1616 et 1621, Rubens peint une succession de scènes de chasse extrêmement dynamiques, dont la technique et la composition s'améliorent de tableaux en tableaux.",
"Cette première période créative commence par ''La Chasse au loup et au renard'' pour culminer par ''La Chasse au lion'' de l'Alte Pinakothek.",
"Selon Arnout Balis, les œuvres ultérieures sont plus formelles et routinières, jusqu'à la seconde période créative qui s'étale de la fin des années 1620 à 1640.Les tableaux de la première période montrent que Rubens a volontairement utilisé les codes des peintres de cour, en glorifiant la noblesse.",
"En effet, la chasse est un symbole de ce statut social, puisqu'il sous-entend la possession d'importants terrains.",
"C'est également une véritable passion pour de nombreux souverains d'Europe.",
"Rubens est tout à fait conscient de l'intérêt suscité par ses peintures de chasse et a compris leur potentiel de vente auprès des classes dirigeantes.",
"Toutefois, la créativité exprimée ne s'explique pas totalement par un but purement mercantile."
],
[
"Historique",
"=== La commande ===''La Chasse au sanglier'' fait partie d'un ensemble décoratif de quatre tableaux avec ''La Chasse au tigre'', ''La Chasse à l'hippopotame et au crocodile'' et ''La Chasse au lion'' commandés par le prince-électeur Maximilien I de Bavière entre 1615 et 1616.File:Rubens-Chasse au tigre-1617-18-Rennes, musée beaux-arts.jpg|alt=Tableau de Rubens représentant deux tigres, un lion et un léopard attaquant des cavaliers|''La Chasse au tigre''File:Peter Paul Rubens 083.jpg|alt=Tableau de Rubens représentant un hippopotame et un crocodile chassés par des cavaliers|''La Chasse à l'hippopotame et au crocodile''File:Copie Peter Paul Rubens - La Chasse au lion.jpg|alt=Réplique d'un tableau de Rubens.",
"Plusieurs cavaliers attaquent deux lions|''La Chasse au lion'' - répliqueUn paiement de de la cour de Munich en 1619 pour des peintures d'Anvers pourrait être relié aux toiles de la suite décorative de Maximilien de Bavière.Les quatre chasses ont vraisemblablement été peintes peu de temps après ''La Chasse au loup et au renard''.",
"Maximilien de Bavière connait probablement ce tableau grâce à ses contacts à la cour de l'archiduché de Bruxelles.",
"On ignore si les sujets de ces quatre tableaux ont été suggérés par le commanditaire ou par Rubens lui-même.",
"Arnout Balis suggère que Rubens a pu peindre de sa propre initiative certains tableaux de l'ensemble décoratif, puis recevoir des directives spécifiques des représentants de Maximilien de Bavière.L'ensemble des quatre tableaux est exposé dans l’''Altes Schloss du château de Schleissheim, dont la décoration est dominée par les thèmes agricoles et pastoraux.",
"En 1637, la série de quatre tableaux est bien inventoriée au château, partagé entre l' (le vestiaire) et le (la salle à manger).",
"Au cours du , l'ensemble décoratif est transféré au Neues Schloss.=== Dispersion de l'ensemble décoratif ===Le 12 fructidor an VIII (), ces quatre tableaux sont envoyés par Étienne Neveu depuis Munich parmi .",
"Une lettre du 27 fructidor an VIII () signée par Napoléon Bonaparte signale qu'il s'agit de dons et que les quatre tableaux sont .",
"Considérés comme des copies de Rubens, les quatre tableaux arrivent le 18 brumaire an IX ( au musée central des Arts, actuellement musée du Louvre, où ils seront exposés brièvement.",
"En 1811, ''La Chasse au tigre'' est envoyée au musée des beaux-arts de Rennes, lors du du musée des Arts de Paris.Les tableaux sont dispersés : ''La Chasse au sanglier'' au musée des beaux-arts de Marseille, ''La Chasse à l'hippopotame et au crocodile'' à l'Alte Pinakothek à Munich, ''La Chasse au tigre'' au musée des beaux-arts de Rennes, ''La Chasse au lion'' à Bordeaux.",
"''La Chasse au lion'' est détruite lors d'un incendie en 1870, et seule une réplique d'une collection privée anglaise est parvenue jusqu'à nous.=== Popularité ===Les quatre scènes de chasse de Maximilien de Bavière sont considérées comme les meilleurs exemples de l'habileté de Rubens à dépeindre des animaux sauvages dans des postures héroïques."

"Analyse",
"Copie de ''La Bataille d'Anghiari'' par Rubens.Lors de son voyage en Italie, Rubens découvre des copies et une estampe de ''La Bataille d'Anghiari'' célèbre fresque de Léonard de Vinci, peinte au Palazzo Vecchio à Florence et déjà disparue à l'époque de Rubens.",
"L'artiste en fait au moins deux dessins.",
"Les gravures de chasse du graveur flamand Philippe Galle (1537-1612) sont également une source d'influence.Les scènes de chasse de Rubens sont des toiles de grande taille, et il est possible que des membres de son atelier aient largement contribué à la réalisation de ses œuvres, notamment Van Dyck et Soutman, ses assistants.",

"After a setback in May 757 in which Tang forces were defeated by a Yan cavalry attack at the , in October 757, a large Tang field army composed of forces from the Shuofang and Anxi military districts as well as Uyghur and Arab auxiliaries was amassed in Fengxiang under the nominal command of Li Chu, with Guo Ziyi serving as the actual field commander.",

"The Yan army was led by generals and , commanding 100,000 troops including Yeluohe cavalry (mostly of Khitan, Kumo Xi, and Turkic origin) and the Kelan and Jinglue armies.At noon, the Tang army seized the high ground of the hills northwest of Xiangji Temple, stretching their formation over thirty li.",
"The Yan forces, placing themselves against the city of Chang'an facing south, arrayed their 100,000 troops over ten li, with cavalry placed on the eastern side of their formation.",
"At noon, the rebel general Li Guiren led more than ten thousand cavalry in a charge against the vanguard infantry led by Li Siye.",
"At the beginning of the battle, the Tang forces were at a disadvantage until Li Siye, bare-chested and wielding a glaive, charged into the Yan formation and killed dozens of rebel soldiers, stabilizing his own formation.",
"He then led 2,000 glaive armed troops in repeated charges against the enemy cavalry.",
"The battle became deadlocked, and several thousand of Yan's armored cavalry, commanded by An Shouzhong, attempted a flank attack, intending to encircle the Tang forces by repeating tactics used earlier during the Battle of Qingqu.",
"However, this move was anticipated by Guo Ziyi, who had 4,000 Uyghur heavy cavalry hidden on the side and rear, who then charged down from the high ground and significantly damaged the cohesion of the Yan army.The Yan army continued to hold their formation until late in the afternoon, until finally collapsing due to high casualties, with 60,000 beheaded and Yan general abandoning Chang'an and fleeing east."

"Doctors for Life v Speaker"
],
[
"Introduction",
"In '''''Doctors for Life International v Speaker of the National Assembly and Others''''', the Constitutional Court of South Africa held that Parliament and the provincial legislatures are constitutionally obliged to take reasonable steps to enable effective public participation in the legislative process in respect of every law passed.",
"The court invalidated the Choice on Termination of Pregnancy Amendment Act, 2004 and the Traditional Health Practitioners Act, 2004 on the basis that the National Council of Provinces had not solicited public submissions on the laws before passing them.The court was split eight-to-three on the merits of the application.",
"Justice Sandile Ngcobo wrote the majority judgment, a lengthy judgment that drew heavily on the principle of participatory democracy.",
"Justice Zak Yacoob, who wrote the leading dissent, disagreed with Ngcobo's conception of the nature, scope, and justiciability of the section 72 obligation, and he warned strongly against judicial trespass on the separation of powers, arguing that such trespass indirectly infringed the political rights of voters in a representative democracy."
],
[
"Background",
"The case concerned the passage of four national statutes: the Choice on Termination of Pregnancy Amendment Act, 2004; the Sterilisation Amendment Act, 2005; the Traditional Health Practitioners Act, 2004; and the Dental Technicians Amendment Act, 2004.Because they concerned the provision of healthcare services, the statutes were passed in both houses of the Parliament of South Africa, as required by section 76 of the Constitution.",
"In turn, the upper house, the National Council of Provinces (NCOP), was required to obtain a mandate from each of the nine provincial legislatures before passing the statutes.The applicants in the case, the non-profit Doctors for Life International, complained that, in respect of the health legislation, the NCOP and provincial legislatures had not complied with their constitutional obligations.",
"In particular, section 72(1)(a) of the Constitution requires the NCOP to \"facilitate public involvement in the legislative and other processes of the NCOP and its committees\"; an identical requirement applies to the upper house, the National Assembly, in terms of section 59(1)(a), as well as to the provincial legislatures in terms of section 118(1)(a).",
"Doctors for Life contended that these provisions obliged the legislatures to invite public submissions (in writing or orally at public hearings) on pending bills.",
"In respect of the health legislation, the National Assembly had taken those steps but the NCOP and provincial legislatures had not."
],
[
"Constitutional Court proceedings",
"Doctors for Life brought its application to the Constitutional Court directly, on the basis that, under section 167(4)(e) of the Constitution, the court's exclusive jurisdiction was engaged by the claim that Parliament had failed to fulfil a constitutional obligation.",
"The first and second respondents were the Speaker of the National Assembly and the Chairperson of the NCOP respectively; the speakers of the nine provincial legislatures joined during proceedings, as was the Minister of Health.",
"The matter was heard over days, 23 August 2005 and 21 February 2006, and judgment was delivered on 17 August 2006.Justice Sandile Ngcobo wrote for the Constitutional Court's eight-member majority, joined by Chief Justice Pius Langa, Deputy Chief Justice Dikgang Moseneke, and Justices Tholie Madala, Yvonne Mokgoro, Bess Nkabinde, Kate O'Regan, and Albie Sachs.",
"Sachs also wrote a separate concurrence with additional comment on the \"special meaning\" of participatory democracy in South Africa, as well as on the proper remedy in such cases.",
"The leading dissent was written by Justice Zak Yacoob and joined by Justice Thembile Skweyiya; Justice Johann van der Westhuizen wrote a separate judgment outlining his reasons for agreeing with Yacoob's findings."
],
[
"Constitutional challenge",
"=== Majority judgment ===In his majority judgment, Ngcobo held that section 72(1)(a) and similar provisions should be interpreted in light of the principles of South African democracy, which he viewed as a participatory democracy as well as a representative democracy.",
"The Constitution granted the legislature \"considerable discretion in determining how best to achieve this balanced relationship\" between the democracy's representative and participatory elements, but it also obliged the Constitutional Court to intervene – even at the cost of impinging on legislative autonomy – when Parliament failed to fulfil a constitutional obligation.In Ngcobo's interpretation, section 72(1)(a) requires that the NCOP should have \"taken steps to afford the public a reasonable opportunity to participate effectively in the law-making process\" and thus \"a meaningful opportunity to be heard in the making of the laws that will govern them\".",
"This includes extending opportunities for such participation, such as by soliciting oral and written submissions from the public, and taking \"measures to ensure that people have the ability to take advantage of the opportunities provided\", such as by providing adequate notice, information, and political education.In deciding whether the legislature had complied with its section 72(1)(a) obligation, Ngcobo found that the court's task was to determine whether the legislature had taken reasonable steps, in the circumstances, to facilitate effective public participation, with reference to such factors as parliamentary rules, the nature and urgency of the bills under consideration, and \"practicalities such as time and expense\".",
"Ngcobo viewed the reasonableness standard as the best way for the courts to \"balance, on the one hand, the need to respect parliamentary institutional autonomy, and on the other, the right of the public to participate in public affairs\".",
"Using this standard, he found that the NCOP's process in respect of the Dental Technicians Amendment Act had been reasonable, because there had been little evidence of public interest in the legislation.",
"By contrast, there was a great deal of public interest in the Choice on Termination of Pregnancy Amendment Act and the Traditional Health Practitioners Act; in failing to solicit public submissions on those two laws, the NCOP had failed to fulfil its duty to take reasonable steps to facilitate public involvement in the laws' passage.The Sterilisation Amendment Act was excluded from consideration because it had not been signed into law at the time that Doctors for Life launched the proceedings; the court held that it was not competent to grant relief in relation to bills before they were assented to by the President.=== Dissenting judgment ===Yacoob's dissent turned on a narrower examination of the meaning of the constitutional directive to \"facilitate public involvement in... legislative and other processes\".",
"Based on an analysis of the Constitution's use of the words \"participate\" and \"participation\", he concluded that \"public involvement\", as envisaged in section 72(1)(a), is distinct from, and means \"something less than\", direct public participation.",
"Indeed, given that the provision requires public involvement in \"legislative and other processes\" broadly, a stronger interpretation would have absurd consequences: it would clearly be untenable for the public to be directly involved in every process of the legislature, such as the election of the President (an indirect election in terms of the Constitution) or of presiding officers.On the whole, the language of section 72(1)(a) cannot sensibly be construed as requiring that the public must be given an opportunity to comment on draft legislation.",
"Even the implication that Parliament is required to take \"reasonable steps\" to facilitate public involvement would be too strong: the provision was carefully drafted at a high level of generality.",
"And it was still more strained to infer that either public participation or public involvement was a constitutional pre-requisite to the passage of valid legislation, given that other sections of the Constitution provided a detailed synopsis of the legislative process without referring to any mandatory consultation stage.More broadly, Yacoob argued that direct public involvement in the legislative process was not a pre-requisite for participatory democracy.",
"Further, the importance of representative democracy should not be understated: \"Constitutionally speaking, it is the people of our country who, through their elected representatives pass laws\".",
"The majority's interpretation of section 72(1)(a) thus imposed a significant \"limitation on the power of elected representatives of the people to make law\", which in turn undermined the public's political rights."
],
[
"Order and remedy",
"=== Majority judgment ===The majority's order declared, in terms of section 167(4)(e) of the Constitution, that Parliament had failed to comply with its section 72(1)(a) constitutional obligation to facilitate public involvement before passing the Choice on Termination of Pregnancy Amendment Act and Traditional Health Practitioners Act.",
"It directed that both Acts were therefore \"adopted in a manner that is inconsistent with the Constitution\" and declared both Acts to be invalid, although the declaration of invalidity was suspended for 18 months to enable Parliament to re-enact them in a manner compliant with the Constitution.",
"The invalidation of the legislation on the basis of a procedural flaw was an exceptional measure, but Ngcobo held that public involvement was \"a material part of the law-making process, \"a requirement of manner and form\", and that legislation passed in its absence was therefore invalid.In his separate judgment, Sachs wrote that, although he concurred with the order in this case, he felt that similar orders should not be handed down in future cases without caution: I would prefer to leave the way open for incremental evolution on a case by case in future.",
"The touchstone, I believe, must be the extent to which constitutional values and objectives are implicated.",
"I fear that the virtues of participatory democracy risk being undermined if the result of automatic invalidation is that relatively minor breaches of the duty to facilitate public involvement produce a manifestly disproportionate impact on the legislative process.",
"Hence my caution at this stage.",
"In law as in mechanics, it is never appropriate to use a steam-roller to crack a nut.=== Dissenting judgment ===In his dissent, Yacoob warned strongly against nonchalantly issuing section 167(4)(e) declarations of the kind endorsed by the majority, given the \"grave separation of powers implications\" of such orders:In my view section 167(4)(e) orders can only be made when it is in the interests of justice and good government to do so.",
"Circumstances that come into the equation when determining whether an order must be made cannot be exhaustively defined.",
"They do include the following: the nature of the obligation; the importance of its performance to a society based on dignity, equality and freedom; whether the obligation emerges sufficiently clearly from the Constitution so as to draw the inference that Parliament, that is to say, the majority of legislators in the legislative body concerned, would have understood the nature of the obligation and would have known that they had to perform it and whether there had been sufficient time after the knowledge and understanding by the relevant legislators to facilitate compliance with the obligation.Because he found that the health legislation's passage had complied with the Constitution, he was not required to formulate a remedy, but he suggested that \"this Court ought never to intervene during the proceedings of Parliament unless irreparable and substantial harm would otherwise result\"."
],
[
"Significance",
"''Doctors for Life'' was the first time that the Constitutional Court elucidated the content of the legislature's duty to facilitate public involvement.",
"It was reinforced very shortly afterwards by the court's judgment in ''Matatiele Municipality v President (No.",
"2)''; according to his former law clerk, Elizabeth Brundige, Ngcobo's research for his judgment in ''Doctors for Life'' inspired his approach in ''Matatiele'', in which he also wrote the majority judgment."
