"After that Sidhnuti came to be called the land of hill chiefs.Because now there were fifteen rulers on the fifteen mountains of Sidhnuti, who are written and called in history by the name of hill chiefs.The first Sikh-Sidhnuti war with these hill chiefs of Sidhnuti begins with Maharaja Ranjit Singh's capture of Kashmir.",
"When Ranjit Singh's forces reached Rajouri via Bhimbar in mid-June 1814 to occupy Kashmir, the then ruler of Rajouri, Raja Agar Khan, handed over Rajouri to Ranjit Singh without any resistance.Maharaja Ranjit divided his army into two parts to attack Kashmir from two sides during Rajouri stay.",

"But as soon as in 1832 Sikh war started with Yusufzai of Pakhtun Khawa in which Sikhs had to face defeat.So Sardar Shams considered this opportunity to be appropriate and separated from the Sikh court and came to his homeland Sidhnuti and rebelled against the Sikh Empire.",
"For which the hill chiefs were waiting for years.",
"The hill chiefs of Sidhnuti along with Sardar Shams Khan massacred the Sikhs and declared their independence by wresting all the forts from Sidhnuti to Poonch and Poonch to Jammu from the Sikhs.Seeing such conditions, the Sikh Empire temporarily stopped the war with the Yusufzais of Pakhtun Khaw and attacked Sardar Shams Khan and his fellow hill chiefs with full force.",
"The hill chiefs could not withstand the sophisticated artillery of the Sikhs.",
"Thus, in 16 days,15,000 Sudhan hill chiefs died on the battlefield.Some of the hill chiefs were encamped in Mang fort, where the Sikh artillery bombarded the fort so much that the fort was destroyed and some of the wounded hill chiefs of Sidhnuti were captured alive.Among them were the famous generals of (Sardar Sabz Ali Khan) and (Sardar Mali Khan) Sidhnuti.",

[
"Current reserves",
"As of February 2024, Scotland has two designated biosphere reserves: * Wester Ross Biosphere Reserve, formerly known as Beinn Eighe* Galloway and Southern Ayrshire Biosphere ReserveIn 2016, the Wester Ross Biosphere Reserve was extended, with the Galloway and Southern Biosphere Reserve being extended in 2012 by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).",
"Both sites were extended in order to address the changes in criteria for biosphere reserves as well as the purpose of sites being designated as a biosphere reserve.",
"===Wester Moss===Situated in the northwest of Scotland, the reserve is noted for its \"suite of habitats primarily influenced by upland and oceanic factors\".",
"Much of the reserve is covered by open heathland, bare rock, scree as well as wet grassland which includes scattered bogs and peat lands.",
"Of particular interest in preserving is the presence of two variants of dwarf shrub heath and a western variant of moss heath.",
"The reserve includes the best remaining examples of western pinewood in Britain.",
"It was designated a biosphere reserve by UNESCO in 1976.===Galloway and Southern Ayrshire===The Galloway and Southern Ayrshire Biosphere Reserve comprises a large bio-geographic region which is represented by the presence of upland massif which is located centrally on the Merrick, with rivers which flow from its upland down the forests and farmland to the sea.",
"The landscape of the area consists largely of uplands, moorlands, mires, woodlands and forests, farmland, river valleys, coast and shoreline.",
"UNESCO recognises the importance of the reserve in \"demonstrating the importance of landscapes and ecosystems for the future of sustainable development in a region which is undergoing change in traditional livelihoods\".",
"It was designated a biosphere reserve by UNESCO in 2012.==Selection process== In Scotland, any community or organisation can propose for a site to be designated a biosphere reserve location.",
"Proposed sites are put to UNESCO for consideration by either the Scottish Government or HM Government.",
"Each biosphere reserve site listed by UNESCO is reviewed every five years.",
"If a site is successful is becoming a bisosphere reserve site, then the community in which the site is located is ultimately responsible for its maintenance and preserving its status as a biosphere reserve.",
"==Protection and management== The Scottish Government recognised that site with an active biosphere reserve designation greatly enhances the promotion of integrated and sustainable management of the area.",
"To achieve this, the Scottish Government advocates that two main principles must be applied: * \"the use of a zonation approach with a protected core area and a buffer area within which sustainable development may be promoted\"* \"participation of the local community\""

"The matter was initially heard in the North Gauteng High Court, where Judge Hans Fabricius ruled in the non-profits' favour on 8 May 2012, and was then appealed unsuccessfully to the Supreme Court of Appeal, where the High Court's ruling was upheld by Judge of Appeal Mahomed Navsa on 27 November 2013.Finally, the National Commissioner of the South African Police Service (SAPS) appealed to the Constitutional Court, where the matter was heard on 19 May 2014 and decided on 30 October 2014.Jeremy Gauntlett SC represented the National Commissioner and Wim Trengove SC represented the non-profit respondents.",
"In May 2020, the ''Mail & Guardian'' reported that South African law enforcement had been slow to implement the court's order."

"Introduction",

],
[
"History",
"In December 1977, ahead of New Year's 1978, the professor and composer Hernán Gallardo Pavéz of Coquimbo, Chile, composed the song \"Un Año Más.\"",
"It was originally structured as a ballad, evoking the sense of nostalgia that starting a new year brings, and inspired in part by the recent deaths of his parents.",
"Gallardo first offered the song to the popular artist Luis Tirado, to record with the group Los Cumaná, but the group wasn't interested, and the arrangement fell through.",
"Another, danceable version, arranged as a salsa, was done by the group Macalunga, but it was not until Los Vikings 5 recorded it in 1977 as a cumbia song that it more or less settled in its definitive form.While Gallardo was working as a pianist at the piano bar of the restaurant Alcázar, Marty Palacios, the trumpet player for the tropical orchestra Sonora Palacios, heard him play \"Un Año Más.\"",
"Six months later, in 1978, Sonora Palacios recorded the song, resulting in the well-known version that brought \"Un Año Más\" to a wide audience and gave it its continuous popularity.",
"The 1992 cover by La Sonora de Tommy Rey is another popular version.The song is one of the country's most popular cumbias and is frequently played during New Year's festivities in Chile, particularly as the clock strikes midnight."

[
"Introduction",
"The '''Cuban Professional Baseball Federation''', commonly known by its Spanish acronym '''FEPCUBE''' (), is a baseball governing body that claims to represent expatriate Cuban baseball players.",
"It is not recognized by the World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC) and is opposed by the Cuban government and the Baseball Federation of Cuba (FCB)."
],
[
"History",
"Since the Cuban Revolution, the official Baseball Federation of Cuba has largely restricted Cuban players to the amateur domestic league system.",
"Players signing contracts with Major League Baseball were considered defectors and were not seen as eligible to represent Cuba in international competition, like the Baseball World Cup and later, the World Baseball Classic.Efforts to organize defected Cuban players began in the run-up to the 2023 World Baseball Classic, when several players expressed their willingness to field a team not organized by the Cuban government.",
"Those efforts ultiamtely did not come to fruition, and Cuba was represented by the FCB-organized national team.FEPCUBE announced its intention to play in the inaugural Intercontinental Series, to be held in Barranquilla, Colombia in January 2024.The team was expected to include Aroldis Chapman, Yandy Díaz, Lourdes Gurriel Jr., Yennier Canó, and other players who are all ineligible to play organized Cuban baseball.",
"However, that tournament faced pushback from the Colombian government; FEBCUBE dropped its \"Patria y Vida\" slogan and agreed to play under the \"Dream Team\" name rather than with Cuban symbols.",
"Nevertheless, the tournament was ultimately canceled, with FEPCUBE alleging it was due to pressure from the Cuban government.Members of the FEPCUBE team organized for the Intercontinental Series took part in an exhibition game against the Miami Dade College Sharks on January 18, 2024.The game was won by the FEPCUBE team, 3–2."

"Pezothrips kellyanus"
],
[
"Introduction",
"'''''Pezothrips kellyanus''''', also known as '''Kelly's citrus thrips''', is a species of Thysanoptera (thrips) from the family Thripidae.",
"It is known as a pest species on citrus fruit crops as it can cause scarring damage to fruit skins."
],
[
"First collection and description",
"The species was first described in 1916 as ''Physothrips kellyanus'' by Richard Siddoway Bagnall based upon examples from Australia collected by Reginald Kelly at Brandon, Queensland in 1914, Brisbane Botanic Gardens (now known as City Botanic Gardens) in 1914 and Ballerat, Victoria in 1915.Type specimen material collected by Kelly from Brandon and Brisbane is held in the collection of the Natural History Museum, London."
],
[
"Morphology",
"The adults of both sexes of ''P.",
"kellyanus'' are brownish in colour, with the basal area of the forewings being lighter in colour.",
"The female of the species was originally recorded as 1.6-1.8 mm long, and the male about 1.2 mm; a 2016 factsheet from the South Australia Research & Development Institute gives a range of about 1-2mm for adult size.",
"The males have a more slender abdomen than females.",
"The sixth antennal segment of males is noticeably longer than that of females."
],
[
"Life cycle",
"''Pezothrips kellyanus'' is attracted to fragrant white or whiteish-yellow flowers on which to lay its eggs.",
"Other than citrus, plant species which have been recorded as hosting breeding populations of ''P.",
"kellyanus'' include jasmine Jasminum officinale and Japanese honeysuckle Lonicera japonica.",
"Females of ''P.",
"kellyanus'' lay their eggs on any part of flowers, but will also lay eggs on leaves and fruit.",
"The species has two larval stages.",
"When the host plant is citrus, the mature second instar larvae drop to the ground from the citrus canopy and the species pupates in soil or leaf litter.",
"The length of time it takes for P. kellyanus to run through its life cycle is dependent on the time of season.",
"''P.",
"kellyanus'' can develop up to six generations in a year."
],
[
"Crop damage and control",
"''Pezothrips kellyanus'' tend to feed around the top of a fruit at the point of attachment, especially on citrus varieties that retain their sepals, where the thrips can be sheltered.",
"As the fruit matures the feeding damage leaves a ring of silvery scarring on the skin of the fruit.",
"Although the scarring caused to citrus skins by ''P.",
"kellyanus'' is cosmetic and does not affect the internal quality of the fruit, it can cause severe financial losses to farmers by marring the appearance of fruit and making crops less saleable.",
"The species can be controlled by applying chemical control methods to disrupt its developmental stages, although this may also have a negative impact on beneficial insects which would otherwise predate on citrus crop pests."
],
[
"Distribution and origin",
"Despite ''Pezothrips kellyanus'' being first described from specimens found in Australia, other species from the genus ''Pezothrips'' are generally known from the southern Palearctic region and there is difference of opinion among Thrips researchers about whether ''P.",
"kellyanus'' is native to Australia or is an introduced species.",
"''P.",
"kellyanus'' has been found on a range of garden flowers besides citrus blossoms, and has been recorded on endemic Australian flowers at good distances from any citrus plantation.",
"Genetic analysis has indicated more diversity in the Australian population of ''P.",
"kellyanus'' than in populations sampled from Mediterranean countries or New Zealand, suggesting the species may have originated in Australia and been introduced elsewhere.",
"''Pezothrips kellyanus'' has been observed in an agricultural context from many countries including from New Zealand (first recorded on citrus flowers at Auckland by K. P. Lamb in May 1950), Cyprus (first recorded at coastal citrus plantations at Limassol and Paphos in 1996) and Spain (first recorded in 1996 and observed on orchard fruits in 2005 and 2007).",
"In Tunisia ''P.",
"kellyanus'' was first recorded in orchards in 2008 and a later study in three orange-growing regions noted that 12.17% (19090 of 156700) of examined fruits bore damage from ''P.",
"kellyanus''.",
"The species has also been recorded in Morocco, The United States, Chile, Israel, Croatia, France, Greece, Italy, Malta, Portugal, Turkey and New Caledonia."

"The Poor Fisherman"
],
[
"Introduction",
"'''''The Poor Fisherman''''' (French: ''Le Pauvre Pêcheur'') is an oil on canvas painting by the French painter Pierre Puvis de Chavannes, created in 1879–1881.The first version is held in the Musée d'Orsay, in Paris."
],
[
"Description",
"The painting is set in a desolated landscape, where a river occupies most of its space.",
"In the foreground there is a bearded fisherman standing, with eyes closed and hands crossed, in a boat in a waiting gesture and meditative posture.",
"His net is immersed in the water and he probably is hoping to have a better catch than before.",
"His poor and hard life is visible in his tattered gray robes.",
"Similarly, a woman is depicted, who is an older child or the fisherman's wife, collecting flowers or edible roots.",
"Only the child is dressed in a brightly colored robe, which may be a symbol of hope for the future but also of suffering resulting from poverty.The current painting was one of the most frequently interpreted images of French symbolism.",
"According to the painter himself, the work depicts a fisherman and his two children, and they are supposed to personify poverty.",
"According to other symbolists, the painting was supposed to be an allegory of man's fate or to represent faith in God and the rebirth of life.",
"For others, the figure of the fisherman is an allegory of Jesus Christ.The painting was painted in an undefined style, with no historical motifs or genre scenes.",
"It was totally different from the then fashionable style presented at the Salons.",
"Despite this, the canvas was enthusiastically received by the young symbolists and was the first work of the artist to be included in the collection of a national museum.",
"The painting received some criticism, mainly related to its supposed lack of realism."
],
[
"Provenance",
"Second version (1887)In 1887, this painting, then in the possession of the collector Émile Boivin, was bought by the French state, thanks to the art dealer Paul Durand-Ruel, and included in the collection of the Musée du Luxembourg, in Paris, where it remained until 1929.It was in the collection of the Louvre, from 1929 to 1986, when it was moved to the Musée d'Orsay, where it still hangs."
],
[
"Other versions",
"To compensate Boivin, Puvis de Chavannes painted him another painting with the same title.",
"This new version is vertical, as new elements, the child is inside the boat and the woman is missing.",
"This painting is in the National Museum of Western Art, in Tokyo.A third, unfinished version is located in the Smith College Museum of Art, in Northampton, Massachusetts, and is a smaller version of the original from the Musée d'Orsay.",

"Plot",
"Set in Yugoslavia during the late 1980s, the film opens with a Croatian family, Father, Mother and their adolescent Son, hastily preparing for a Christmas Eve dinner where they'll be joined by their Uncle, who is coming to visit from Germany.",
"The family is initially delighted with Uncle's arrival, but their relationship with him seems awkward and stiff.",
"He brings the entire family gifts — Father gets a box of cigarettes, Mother gets a perfume and their Son gets a hunting rifle.",
"They sit down to eat dinner, which is suddenly interrupted by the ringing of a mobile phone, implying a different time period and location than initially assumed.",
"They spend the evening decorating the Christmas tree, dancing, watching TV and eating biscuits, all of which go wrong in different ways.",
"Finally, the family and Uncle go to bed late at night.",
"As soon as the lights go out, Uncle gets out of bed, gets into his car and drives off.",
"After the Uncle's car disappears into the distance, the family starts to plan the same preparations for tomorrow.",
"Over the next days, Christmas Eve seems to repeat indefinitely, becoming progressively more disturbing and surreal, with Uncle using the rifle to threaten the family.",
"The Mother keeps pestering him about the whereabouts of Seka, a relative whom the Uncle is keeping captive in an unknown location.",
"In return for Seka, he is demanding that the family creates a \"perfect Christmas\", such as the one he remembers from his earlier years, which ended in a family feud and murder.",
"On one occasion, he brings Seka, whom he had been keeping in his car trunk, but only allows her to interact with the family on his own terms.",
"The passing days, marked by violence and increasingly bizarre happenings, finally culminate in a perfect Christmas.",
"The morning of the next day, the joyous family is waving their pleased Uncle goodbye, when he suddenly takes the rifle and shoots Seka, whom the family had forgotten about, and then himself immediately after, to the family's dismay.",
"Without a word, they enter his car and drive off, listening to a song on the radio."

],
[
"Production",
"Discussing how they came to the original idea for the film, Kapac and Mardešić said: \"We realized that we both envied our friends over one thing, which is that during childhood neither of us had an uncle, or a godfather, who lived outside the country and who'd come every holiday and bring gifts, and our friends did.",
"This was the initial idea.",
"When we saw that the film was going to be serious, we remembered all our family situations and realized that the holidays are actually very stressful, even though it is instilled that they must be happy.",
"\"The roles of the three family members were written with their respective actors in mind, while the role of Uncle was initially envisioned with a younger actor in mind before it was offered to Manojlović."
],
[
"Style and themes",
"When talking about the intended tone and style of the film, the directors noted: \"Our film can be all in one, because the beauty and the point of an auteur film is that, as part of the auteur's expression, different poetics, aesthetics, different genres, genre reconstructions and film language reconstructions are incorporated, which is the case with us, because we were inspired by various auteurs, various directions.",
"\"The film draws inspiration from and has been compared to the works of Michael Haneke and Yorgos Lanthimos, due to its undertones of social commentary and a tense and unnerving atmosphere.",
"It has been described as absurdist and as holding \"not just the family, but the audience captive as well\", with the constant repetition of psychological violence enacted against the family, as if part of a never-ending loop.",
"Thematically, comparisons have been made between the state of the family and the trauma of their life with Uncle to the history and breakup of Yugoslavia."

"Earth (board game)"
],
[
"Introduction",
"'''''Earth''''' is a 2023 board game designed by Maxime Tardif and published by Inside Up Games.",
"Gameplay involves one to five players taking actions to play cards on individual boards in an fashion to score points.",
"Developed beginning in 2017, the game was funded on Kickstarter in 2022 and released in 2023 to favorable reviews.",
"It was considered to be one of the best board games of the year."
],
[
"Gameplay",
"''Earth'' is a card-based board game for one to five players.",
"On each turn, players choose one of four actions: planting, composting, watering, or growing.",
"The player making the selection gains resources, then each player can simultaneously use powers of cards on their personal board corresponding to the chosen action.",
"Over the course of a game, players play cards, which represent plants and terrain, from their hands to personal 4-by-4 boards.",
"Some cards have powers that are triggered once when played, while others have powers that can be used repeatedly."
],
[
"Design and development",
"The game was designed by Maxime Tardif, a Quebec City pharmacist, who had previously designed games ''BrilliAnts'' and ''DiverCity''.",
"The first name for the game was ''Planeta Terra'', but ''Earth'' was chosen as it was more understandable.",
"Tardif's design goals for the game included giving players decision making power and making the game replayable, and to these end he chose to create an engine-builder game and designed over four hundred cards.",
"Time-consuming parts of design included balancing the game's cards, for which Tardif developed a balancing engine in Microsoft Excel, and finding photography for the game, as the breadth of required images precluded hiring a single photographer.Tardif met Conor McGoey of publisher Inside Out Games in 2017 at Gen Con, later showing the publisher a prototype of what would become ''Earth''.",
"Tardif chose Inside Out Games as he and McGoey often met at conventions, the two got along well, and Tardif believed a crowdfunding model would work well for the game.",
"A campaign was held on Kickstarter in February 2022, reaching its funding goal in only two hours.",
"''Earth'' released on Earth Day, April 22, 2023.The first print run consisted of 25,000 copies, on top of the 6,000-7,000 needed to fulfill the backers of the Kickstarter campaign.",
"The copies quickly sold out, prompting the publisher to hire more staff and order larger print runs."
],
[
"Reception",
"''Paste'' called the game's design \"brilliant\" and rated it 9.5/10, commenting that it ran smoothly and was satisfying despite its high cognitive load.",
"''Wargamer'' rated it 8/10, praising its simultaneous action system as addressing downtime, which they felt was the largest downside in other engine builders.",
"They described the gameplay as smooth due to the constant action, but felt that this would reduce the time for social interaction between players.",
"''Tabletop Gaming'' opined that those who enjoyed low-conflict experiences would enjoy the game, finding the lack of player interaction divisive and comparing the game to a solitaire experience.",
"''Polygon'' called ''Earth'' one of the best board games of 2023, describing the interactions between the cards as deep and satisfying despite the relatively simple ruleset.",
"''Game Informer'' also considered the game one of the best of the year, citing its lack of downtime.Multiple reviewers compared to ''Earth'' to ''Wingspan''.",
"''Paste'' opined that it shared ''Wingspan''s lack of player interaction, but otherwise took and improved on the good parts of ''Wingspan''.",
"''Vulture'' described it as a more complex natural progression from ''Wingspan''.",
"''Earth'' was selected as \"Best Board Game (European Style)\" at the 2023 UK Games Expo, and won \"Best Solo Game\" at the 2023 International Gamers Awards.",
"Though some speculated that ''Earth'' would be a contender for the 2023 Spiel des Jahres, it was not nominated for the award."

"Coalition Government of Xinjiang Province"
],
[
"Introduction",
"The '''Coalition Government of Xinjiang Province''' () was the governing body of China's Xinjiang Province from 1946 to 1947.It was formed after a Soviet-brokered peace agreement between the Republic of China (ROC) and the breakaway Second East Turkestan Republic (ETR).",
"The dissolution of the ETR coincided with the establishment of the coalition government; however, the interests of the ETR's former leaders were retained through the subordinate Ili District Council."
],
[
"Background",
"During the Republican Era in China (1912–1949), Xinjiang was ''de jure'' governed as a province divided into ten districts.",
"In actuality, however, control of Xinjiang was split between various warlords, most of whom were regional commanders of the ROC's National Revolutionary Army.",
"The ROC central government in Nanjing eventually centered the region's governance around the Chinese warlord Sheng Shicai by 1934.However, he was dismissed in 1944 after the Soviets notified Nanjing of Sheng's plot to surrender Xinjiang to the Soviet Union in exchange for a top position in the Soviet government.",
"The new ROC government sent to replace Sheng was in disarray, and Turkic political leaders in the \"Three Districts\" of northern XinjiangIli, Tarbaghatay, and Altayseized the opportunity to secede, with the encouragement of the Soviets.The ETR was proclaimed on 12 November 1944, following successful uprisings in the Three Districts which began on 7 November.",
"The uprisings came to be known collectively as the Ili Rebellion.",
"The Interim Government of the ETR was formed, which consisted of Turkic intellectuals of various ideologies and political goals.",
"The leadership was dominated by religious conservatives, who viewed the rebellion as a war of national liberation to restore the First East Turkestan Republic which had been founded exactly eleven years earlier.",
"Soviet-educated progressives within the leadership viewed the rebellion as an anti-imperialist revolution against the ROC."
],
[
"History",
"Territorial extent of the Second East Turkestan Republic, encompassing the three districts of Ili, Tarbaghatay and AltayIn August 1945, China signed a Treaty of Friendship and Alliance which granted the Soviet Union a range of concessions that the United States promised at the Yalta Conference.",
"This ended overt Soviet support for the ETR.",
"The ROC central government reached a negotiated settlement with the leaders of the ETR on 27 June 1946.The Interim Government of the ETR passed Resolution 324 the same day, transforming itself into the \"Ili District Council of East Turkestan\" and dissolving the ETR.",
"The new council was not a government, and would be subordinate to a future coalition government, along with the Seven Districts of southern Xinjiang.On 1 July 1946, the Coalition Government of Xinjiang Province was established in Dihua (present-day Ürümqi).",
"This government consisted of three parties: representatives of the ROC central government; representatives of the Three Districts of northern Xinjiang, i.e.",
"the former leadership of the ETR; and representatives of the Seven Districts of southern Xinjiang.",
"Of the 25 members of the coalition government's committee, seven were from the ROC central government, eight from the Three Districts, and ten from the Seven Districts.",
"The communist revolutionary Ehmetjan Qasim, who led the Ili District Council, became the provincial vice chairman.The unpopular governor of Xinjiang Wu Zhongxin (as Chairman of the Government of Xinjiang Province) was replaced by Zhang Zhizhong (as Chairman of the Coalition Government of Xinjiang), who implemented pro-minority policies which favoured the Turkic population of the Three Districts.Little changed in the Three Districts after the establishment of the coalition government.",
"The Three Districts remained a ''de facto'' independent, pro-Soviet area with its own currency and military (the Ili National Army, formerly the East Turkestan National Army).",
"However, all three sides were nonetheless invested in the success of the coalition government.",
"Of primary issue was the future reunification of Xinjiang's economy, finances, military, postal services, and transport.However, the disagreements between the three sides deepened as the domestic and international situations changed, and by 1947 the coalition government was on the verge of collapse.",
"The ROC was actively supporting local warlords who were opposed to the leadership of the Three Districts, such as Osman Batur, who broke with the Three Districts' leaders when their pro-Soviet orientation became clear.",
"Many ROC-appointed Uyghur representatives also opposed the Three Districts side, such as Muhammad Amin Bughra, Isa Yusuf Alptekin, and Masud Sabri, the three of whom accompanied Zhang during his return trip to Xinjiang to begin negotiations with the ETR in 1945.Ehmetjan Qasim and Abdulkerim Abbas with Chiang Kai-shek in Nanjing on 22 November 1946Zhang, unable to remedy the situation, resigned from his post and fled from Xinjiang in 1947.The ROC considered Bai Chongxi, the Defence Minister of China and a Hui Muslim, as Zhang's replacement.",
"However, Zhang recommend Sabri, and the position was given to Sabri instead on 21 May 1947.Qasim strongly opposed Sabri's appointment and demanded Sabri's dismissal as one of his preconditions for visiting Nanjing.",
"Qasim's position was supported by the Three Districts side but opposed by the Seven Districts side.",
"Sabri was close to conservatives in the CC Clique of the Kuomintang (Chinese Nationalists) and undid all of Zhang's pro-minority reforms, which set off revolts and riots among the Uyghurs in oases such as Turfan in July 1947.On 12 August 1947, Qasim left Dihua and returned to Ghulja.",
"Soon afterwards, all of the other representatives from the Three Districts side also returned to Ghulja.",
"The Three Districts leadership subsequently established the \"Three Districts Economic Commission\" to govern the region independently from the rest of Xinjiang, marking the collapse of the coalition government."

],
[
"Introduction",
"\"'''The Vladimir Putin Interview'''\" is a television interview hosted by the American journalist and political commentator Tucker Carlson with Russian president Vladimir Putin.",
"It premiered on February 8, 2024, on the Tucker Carlson Network and the social media website X (Twitter).",
"It is the first interview with Putin to be granted to a Western journalist since the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.In the first three days, the interview had 14 million views on YouTube and 185 million views on Twitter."
],
[
"Background",
"Tucker Carlson is an American political commentator known for promoting conspiracy theories.",
"Carlson said before the interview that \"We are not here because we love Vladimir Putin\", but he has often defended Putin and promoted pro-Russian disinformation about the Russian invasion of Ukraine, including the Ukraine bioweapons conspiracy theory.",
"From 2016 to 2023, Carlson hosted the Fox News program ''Tucker Carlson Tonight'', a talk show in which he was critical of Ukraine, such as describing Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as a \"dictator\".",
"In April 2023, Carlson was dismissed from Fox News.",
"He then established ''Tucker on X'', a talk show on X.",
"The first episode attributed the destruction of the Kakhovka Dam to Ukraine.Putin has instituted restrictions on press freedom in Russia.",
"In March 2023, the Russian government imprisoned an American journalist, Evan Gershkovich of ''The Wall Street Journal'', on charges of espionage.",
"Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Putin had not granted an interview to any Western journalist.",
"The Kremlin Press Secretary, Dmitry Peskov, said Carlson had been allowed an interview because \"his position is different\" saying, \"It's not pro-Russian, not pro-Ukrainian, it's pro-American.",
"It starkly contrasts with the stance of traditional Anglo-Saxon media\"."
],
[
"Production",
"The filming scene during the interviewAccording to ''Izvestia'', Carlson arrived in Moscow on February 3.His presence was reported upon by the Russian state media, which speculated that Carlson may have been in the country to interview Putin.",
"Carlson appeared at the Bolshoi Theatre to attend a performance of the ballet ''Spartacus''.",
"According to Putin's press secretary Dmitry Peskov, the interview occurred on February 6."
],
[
"Interview summary",
"Carlson and Putin during the interviewThe interview began with Carlson asking Putin why he had ordered the invasion of Ukraine.",
"Putin replied with a \"history lecture\" lasting around thirty minutes, giving his vision of the history of Eastern Europe from the founding of Kievan Rus' in the 9th century.",
"He said that the Grand Duchy of Lithuania was really a \"Russian-Lithuanian\" polity.",
"He called Ukraine \"an artificial state\" and asserted that Ukraine's southern and eastern regions \"had no historical connection\" with it.",
"Putin also argued that Poland \"collaborated with Hitler\" before it was invaded by Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union in 1939.He said that Poland provoked Nazi Germany to invade, because the Poles \"went too far\" by refusing Hitler's demands for Polish territory.Putin repeated some statements he made in his speech announcing the invasion: that the 2014 Ukrainian Revolution was a Western-backed \"coup d'état\", that Ukraine started the Donbas War, that Ukraine's government has ties with neo-Nazis, and that NATO would threaten Russia through Ukraine.When asked whether Russia had achieved its war aims, Putin replied: \"No.",
"We haven't achieved our aims yet because one of them is denazification\".",
"When Carlson asked whether Putin would \"be satisfied\" with the territory that Russia currently occupies, Putin dodged the question and referred to his previous answer.",
"Putin said that Ukraine and its allies would not succeed in inflicting a \"strategic defeat\" on Russia.",
"He predicted that if the United States stopped supplying weaponry to Ukraine, the war would \"be over within a few weeks\".",
"Putin conveyed to Carlson that Russia has no intention of attacking NATO members Poland or Latvia, unless they attacked Russia.It was suggested by Putin that the US government is secretly controlled by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), rather than its elected officials.",
"He also blamed the United States for the 2022 Nord Stream pipeline sabotage.At the end of the interview, Carlson asked whether Putin would release Evan Gershkovich, an American journalist detained in Russia on charges of espionage, into his custody as an act of goodwill.",
"Putin suggested that he was willing to exchange Gershkovich for a Russian \"patriot\" who had \"eliminated a bandit\" in a European capital.",
"This seemed to confirm that Russia was demanding a prisoner swap with Vadim Krasikov, a suspected Russian intelligence agent who murdered a Chechen separatist in Berlin in 2019."
],
[
"Reaction",
"When Carlson announced on February 6 that he would interview Putin, he erroneously stated that no journalist outside of Russia had \"bothered to interview\" Putin during the war, and said that \"most Americans have no idea why Putin invaded Ukraine\".",
"This sparked backlash from some American and European journalists, who said they had repeatedly been denied interviews with Putin, and that some had been expelled.",
"They also noted that Putin's speeches had been widely covered in American media.===Analysis of the interview===Various media outlets reported that Putin made many false claims and misleading statements during the interview, and that Carlson failed to properly challenge him.",
"They noted that Carlson did not ask Putin about alleged Russian war crimes in Ukraine, ongoing Russian missile strikes on Ukrainian civilians, or Putin's repression of political dissent.",
"Oliver Darcy of CNN wrote that \"Carlson provided Putin a platform to spread his propaganda to a global audience with little to no scrutiny of his claims\" and had \"even fed into Putin's narratives\" in some cases.The website ''Polygraph.info'', produced by Voice of America, contested several of Putin's allegations about the Russo-Ukrainian conflict.",
"It rejected that the 2014 revolution was a \"coup\", saying that Ukraine's then-President Viktor Yanukovych was not overthrown by the military, but instead \"abandoned his post and fled to Russia amid mass protests\".",
"It also said that \"Russia started the war on Ukraine in 2014\" when it occupied Crimea and secretly sent military units to seize government buildings in Donbas.",
"''The New York Times''s Peter Baker compared the interview to the objections over monetary assistance to Ukraine in the Emergency National Security Supplemental Appropriations Act made by some U.S. Republican Party politicians.",
"Former ''Financial Times'' editor Lionel Barber—who interviewed Putin in July 2019— told ''Politico Magazine'' he believed that Putin leveraged Carlson's sympathy for Russia.Historians who spoke to the BBC said that Putin's historical narrative was selective and misleading.",
"Rejecting Putin's statement that Ukraine is \"artificial\", historian Sergey Radchenko said \"countries are created as a result of a historical process ...",
"If Ukraine is a 'fake country', then so is Russia\".",
"Historian Robert D. English said the interview \"showed that it wasn't Russian insecurity, but Putin's personal imperialism, that motivated the war\".Professor Timothy Snyder of Yale University, a historian specializing in the history of Central and Eastern Europe, said that \"most of what Putin says about the past is ludicrous\".===Reaction in the United States===Former U.S. representative Adam Kinzinger referred to Carlson as a \"traitor\", while representative Marjorie Taylor Greene praised Carlson's decision.",
"The former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton described Carlson as a \"useful idiot\"; the phrase is erroneously attributed to Vladimir Lenin, the first leader of the Soviet Union.",
"On MSNBC, Clinton furthered her criticism of Carlson by stating there are individuals who serve as a \"fifth column\" for Putin, alluding to Carlson.The death of prominent Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny in a Russian prison days after the interview triggered a fresh wave of criticism for Tucker.",
"Liz Cheney called Carlson \"Putin's useful idiot\".===Reaction in Russia===Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman of the Security Council of Russia and former Russian president, commented that Putin \"told the Western world as thoroughly and in detail as possible why Ukraine did not exist, does not exist, and will not exist.",
"Tucker Carlson did not get scared and did not give up\".===Other reactions===Guy Verhofstadt, Prime Minister of Belgium from 1999 to 2008, wrote that the European Union (EU) ought to consider issuing Carlson with a travel restriction should he amplify Putin's message.",
"Peter Stano, a spokesperson for High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell, stated that the EU was not considering sanctions against Carlson, despite rumours from Elon Musk and other individuals.Tsakhia Elbegdorj, the former Prime Minister and later President of Mongolia, tweeted a map of the Mongol Empire which included and encompassed all of Russia, saying “After Putin’s talk.",
"I found Mongolian historic map.",
"Don’t worry.",
"We are a peaceful and free nation”.Russian opposition activist and journalist Yevgenia Albats said that hundreds of Russian journalists had to flee Russia after the Russian invasion of Ukraine and go into exile \"to keep reporting about the Kremlin's war against Ukraine.",
"The alternative was to go to jail.",
"And now Tucker Carlson is teaching us about good journalism, shooting from the $1000 Ritz suite in Moscow.\""

"Chapel of Saint-Jean du Liget"

[
"Introduction",
"The '''chapel of Saint-Jean du Liget''', or '''chapelle Saint-Jean-du-Liget''' or '''chapelle du Liget''', is an ancient chapel located in the commune of Sennevières, in the Indre-et-Loire department of France.It was probably built around the middle of the 11th century, although this dating is still debated to within a few decades, which maintains the uncertainty as to which monastic order, Benedictine or Carthusian, founded it.",
"Similarly, its dedication to Saint John, which could apply to another monument, is disputed.",
"Until the French Revolution, it was attached to the Liget Carthusian monastery, when, already in ruins, it was sold to private owners and then to the State.",
"The latter undertook its restoration in the 1860s, after it was classified as a ''monument historique'' in 1862.The chapel has been owned by the commune of Sennevières since 2007.Its unique initial layout (rotunda preceded by a nave) is reminiscent of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, as discovered by the first Crusaders.",
"The interior walls of this chapel's rotunda - the only part of the monument to have been preserved, which also had a nave - were covered with Romanesque polychrome frescos, the surviving ones depicting figures of saints and major biblical scenes from the Marian cycle.",
"These frescos are among the best-preserved medieval frescoes in the Indre-et-Loire region, although they are tending to deteriorate.",
"It is for this reason that the chapel is closed to the public, except on exceptional occasions."

[
"Location and toponymy",
"The chapel environment.The chapel is located on the border between the communes of Chemillé-sur-Indrois and Sennevières, but on the territory of the latter.",
"It is less than 900 m south-west of the Chartreuse du Liget, of which it was a dependency, and 150 m south-east of the D760 (route from Loches to Montrésor), these distances being expressed as the crow flies.",
"Until perhaps the 17th century, this road took a different route, passing to the south of the chapel.The chapel is located in the heart of the Loches forest, in a clearing with a former tile factory, also attached to the Carthusian monastery; all these buildings occupy the bottom and slopes of the same Vallon.",
"A fountain near the chapel was the object of pilgrimage until 1870.The building is oriented from south-west (the former nave) to north-east (the rotunda's \"axial\" bay).The origin of the toponym \"Liget\" is not attested for the Touraine chapel and chartreuse; it appears under the name Ligetum in a charter of 1172.However, Albert Philippon, citing an older document in 1934, suggests that Liget may be a deformation of the word ''lige'', indicating a form of dependency between this land and the mother abbey of Villeloin, to which it originally belonged.The church's dedication to St. John remains a matter of debate.",
"It is based on the interpretation of a 14th-century text, but another reading envisages that the dedication actually applies to the Corroirie church; the representation of Saint John in the chapel's decor is far from attested.",
"Nevertheless, in common parlance, this round chapel remains the chapelle Saint-Jean."
],
[
"History",
"The circumstances surrounding the founding of the Carthusian monastery and the construction of the Liget chapel are still debated, due to the many possible interpretations of the sources.",
"The history of the chapel, as presented here, is that towards which the most recent and comprehensive studies tend; it remains a proposal, subject to refinement or contradiction in the light of subsequent work.=== First eremitic foundation ===Monastic facilities in south-eastern Touraine in the Middle Ages.Surveys carried out in 1998, which led to the discovery of ceramics from the 11th and 12th centuries, seem to indicate that the site was occupied before the chapel was built; in 1980, Raymond Oursel had already reported the presence of these medieval artifacts on the surface.",
"It is possible that very early on, hermits, perhaps Benedictines from the Villeloin abbey, settled on the site, which came under the jurisdiction of their abbey.The land at Le Liget appears to have been purchased from Villeloin abbey by Henry II between 1176 and 1183, and then given to this small community on condition that it join the Chartreux order, as may have happened a few kilometers away, under the aegis of the same sovereign, to the Cistercian abbey of Beaugerais around 1150 and the Grandmontain priory of Villiers around 1160-1170.The purpose of these land transactions was probably to stabilize new religious communities while seeking to counterbalance the dominance of the Cluniac Benedictines in the region by promoting emerging monastic orders.=== Benedictine or Carthusian chapel ===Detail of the south door with its rectangular lintel and rip-outs.The date on which the chapel was built, and the monastic order that built it, are the subject of much debate.",
"Some authors attribute the building to the Carthusian monks of Le Liget, after 1150 - such as Dom Étienne Housseau in the 18th century - while others believe it was built by the Benedictines of Villeloin in the first half of the 11th century, before the estate was donated to the Carthusians.",
"Construction most probably began with the rotunda, followed shortly afterwards by the nave, whose masonry partially obliterated the frames of certain bays.The dating of the frescos is also uncertain.",
"After initially proposing, like others, a \"low\" dating towards the end of the 11th century, historian Christophe Meunier revised his assessment, dating the frescoes to the end of the first half of the 11th century, in agreement with Voichita Munteanu, an art historian who has devoted a thesis to the study of these paintings; in their view, this work is more in keeping with Cluniac pomp than with Carthusian rigor.",
"In addition, Dom Willibrord Witters mentions that in 1280, a decision of the Carthusian General Chapter ordered the \"disappearance\" of the Liget paintings.",
"This recommendation, which was not acted upon, is hardly conceivable if the Carthusian monks themselves were the authors of these frescoes; it becomes more understandable if they were the Benedictine hermits of the early years.",
"In any case, it seems that the decorations were all painted once the chapel, rotunda and nave were fully completed.",
"Robert Favreau, for his part, based on a graphological study of the inscriptions, believes that the frescos were painted around 1170-1180.=== Possible monastery church, then simple chapel ===Ancient documents, and in particular an extract from a 15th century obituary (although the document is imprecise and suffers from chronological errors), suggest that the chapel first served as a church for the Carthusian monastery's upper house (where the fathers devoted to studying and copying books lived), then for the Corroirie (lower house where the brothers responsible for manual and agricultural work lived), until the latter acquired its own church in the 13th century.",
"It is even possible that the Carthusian monks initially planned to build their upper house around this chapel, which would explain the extension of the building by adding a nave, before changing their minds for unknown reasons.=== Early abandonment ===Watercolor by Aymar Pierre Verdier showing the state of the chapel in 1850The chapel was probably abandoned in the 16th century.",
"Two watercolors painted in 1850 by Aymar Pierre Verdier show it in a state of disrepair, with the roof missing, revealing the dome of the cupola, the west facade gaping, and the walls overgrown with vegetation.",
"In 1862, the chapel was listed as a ''monument historique''.",
"Major restorations were then undertaken under the direction of Verdie.",
"It is not known when the nave preceding the rotunda to the west was demolished, but it was before 1850, as this part of the chapel no longer appears in the watercolors produced by this date.Owned by the Carthusian monks of Le Liget until the French Revolution, the chapel then belonged to private owners, including the family who also owned the Carthusian monastery, until 1851.It then became the property of the State, which sold it in 2007 to the commune of Sennevières, which delegated its tourist management to the Loches Développement community of communes (''Communauté de communes Loches Sud Touraine'' since 2017).The frescos were restored twice, first between 1851 and 1925, and then in the 1960s.",
"In 2009, the frescos were restored under the supervision of Arnaud de Saint-Jouan, the architect responsible for French buildings.",
"To prevent deterioration, the chapel is only exceptionally open to the public, while a gate behind the door prevents access to the rotunda."
],
[
"Architecture and decoration",
"=== Chapele ===Chapel viewed from the south.The chapel consists of a circular rotunda, preceded to the west by a nave that disappeared at some undetermined time.",
"All that remains is the start of the gutter walls in contact with the rotunda.",
"The large arcade linking the nave to the rotunda was closed off in the 19th century, and the resulting diaphragm wall was pierced by a semicircular door.",
"The rotunda is lit by seven non-equidistant round-headed windows, averaging 1.50 × 0.40 m in size.",
"The bay that can be considered axial, opposite the door, is slightly wider, perhaps to accommodate a stone altar underneath, which was replaced by a wooden one in 1697.A niche, perhaps a washbasin, is cut into the wall beneath one of the windows.",
"The base of these windows is approximately 2 m above ground level.",
"A molding runs halfway up the wall of the rotunda, highlighting the arches of the bays; the wall below this molding marks a slight rise.",
"All that is left are the remains of the porch or room, perhaps a sacristy, which preceded the doorway to the south of the rotunda.",
"Although the function of the massive masonry wall framing this door is not yet clear, some historians refute the hypothesis that it could have been part of a sacristy to which it would have given too low a ceiling height.The conical roof is supported by a cornice decorated with 45 modillions and 45 metopes, some original, some restored in the 19th century, others more recent (second half of 2010).",
"The metopes and modillions, all different in style and rather naive in sculpture, represent geometric motifs (checkerboard, etc.",
"), ornaments in the form of objects (millstone, cross, etc.",
"), animals (fish, etc.",
"), plants (flower, four-leaf clover, etc.)",
"or figures (human or animal masks, etc.",
").Metopes, from left to right: two geometric shapes, double mandorla, egg, fish, two geometric shapes, cross and empty sphere.",
"Modillions, from left to right: grindstone, sawtooth, cross and empty sphere, mask, flower, grimacing feline, four-leaf clover.",
"|260x260pxInside, the chapel is vaulted with a hemispherical dome composed of concentric courses in successive recesses.",
"All masonry, inside and out, is built of regular tufa blocks, with a few courses of harder limestone at ground level.",
"; the walls are just over a meter thickÉglise Saint-Étienne de Neuvy-Saint-Sépulchre.In his 2011 study of the chapel, Christophe Meunier considers the dimensions chosen for the building to be symbolic.",
"The rotunda measures 7.2 m in internal diameter, 6 m high at cornice level, and the nave 4.2 m in internal width; by transposing these dimensions into cubits, a unit commonly used in the Middle Ages but highly variable locally, these dimensions become twelve cubits for the rotunda, like the Twelve Apostles of Jesus, and seven cubits for the nave, like the seven days needed by God to create the world.",
"Meunier even considers a more direct symbolism with the Apocalypse, which mentions the seven angels and twelve gates of the heavenly Jerusalem.",
"According to the same author, the ratios between width and height of the chapel's components - rotunda, nave and roof - are applications of the principle of the golden ratio.",
"However, Bosseboeuf and, after him, Favreau, give the nave a length of 8 m, while Meunier suggests a nave built on a square plan.The chapel appears to have been built on a model inspired by the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem and brought back from the First Crusade.",
"Other churches, also dating from the 11th century, such as Saint-Étienne de Neuvy-Saint-Sépulchre, also follow the same general layout.=== Frescos ===Frescos in the church at Poncé-sur-le-Loir.The interior of the chapel - traces of which are also to be found in the remains of the arch that marked the start of the nave - was entirely decorated with polychrome Romanesque frescos painted when the building was first constructed or shortly afterwards.",
"Most of these frescos were already in a poor state of repair when, in 1862, the French government undertook restoration and consolidation work on the interior of the chapel, on the wall beneath the bays and on the dome, permanently erasing all traces of some of the frescos.",
"However, in 1850, the artist Savinien Petit completed a survey of the frescos, and his work is now preserved at the .",
"Since then, the frescos have been deteriorating; the development of mold, observed during a restoration campaign in 2009, is altering certain motifs and making them difficult to interpret.Four levels, or registers, can be distinguished, from bottom to top.",
"The unity of style in the various frescos suggests to Albert Philippon that they are all the work of a single artist.",
"The style is reminiscent of the murals in Saint-Paul church in Souday and Saint-Julien church in Poncé-sur-le-Loir.",
"believes that the crypt of the collegiate church of Saint-Aignan bears frescos by the same hand as that of Le Liget.==== First register ====From the floor to the base of the bays, the wall was covered by a \"drapery with folds traced in brown\"; the motif is common in Romanesque paintings.",
"It has completely disappeared, although traces of paint were still visible in some masonry joints in the early 1930s.==== Second register ====Descent from the cross.In the 21st century, the best-preserved frescos are to be found in this register.Decoration of the chapelSix large biblical scenes are interspersed between the bays.",
"Clockwise, from the entrance to the rotunda, we find the Nativity, the Presentation of Jesus in the Temple (this iconographic theme was little used in the Romanesque period, with only three representations in France, including the one at Le Liget), the Descent from the Cross, the Holy Sepulchre and the Dormition of Mary.",
"The Tree of Jesse is the sixth painting.",
"The Descent from the Cross and the Holy Sepulchre interrupt the cycle of scenes dedicated to Mary, although she is present as a secondary figure in the Descent from the Cross.",
"Traces of paint on the intrados of the arch marking the start of the nave suggest that other scenes took place here, perhaps the Annunciation and the Visitation, which would be chronologically the first in the cycle, but this hypothesis cannot be verified.Dormition of the VirginThe embrasures of the seven windows, numbered 1 to 7 clockwise from the rotunda's main entrance, are also decorated, with fourteen full-length representations of saints, two per window.",
"However, unlike the interspersed biblical scenes, they are arranged in a descending \"hierarchical\" order, starting from the bay opposite the west door, considered \"axial\".",
"This bay (4) features two of the apostles, Peter and Paul for most authors, except Angelico Surchamp, who replaces Paul with John the Baptist.",
"This is followed by two bays dedicated to the holy bishops (3 and 5).",
"The next two bays are certainly occupied by abbot saints (2 and 6), the frescos in bay no.",
"2 having been erased; according to Christophe Meunier, Martin, then depicted as abbot and not bishop, could be one of the two figures.",
"Finally, there are four depictions of martyred saints closest to the main door (1 and 7).",
"While historians who have studied these frescos agree on the theme of each window, their interpretations of the figures differ, especially where the frescos are most damaged and the names of the saints, which originally appeared near the frescos, have been partially or totally erased.",
"A manuscript from the Carthusian monastery, preserved in the Tours municipal library but lost in the fire of June 1940, mentions that the abbey possessed relics of most of the saints depicted in the chapel.",
"Raymond Oursel notes that none of the saints usually honored by the Carthusian monks are represented in the chapel, but that Benedict and Gilles, important figures for the Benedictines, are, and Willibrord Witters makes the same observation.+Interpretation of saint figures in window embrasures.Numberingbays'''Philippon (1934)''''''Thibout (1949)''''''Surchamp (1965)''''''Favreau (1988)''''''Meunier (2011)'''1Maurice and Vincent MauriceMauriceMaurice and Eustache Maurice and Eustache 2 - - - -Martin3Brice and BénigneBrice and DenisBrice and DenisBrice and DenisBrice and Denis4Pierre and PaulPierre and PaulPierre and Jhon the BaptistPierre and PaulPierre and Paul5Nicolas and HilaryNicolas and HilaryNicolas and HilaryNicolas and HilaryNicolas and Hilary6Robert et BenedictGiles and BenedictGiles and BenedictGiles and BenedictGiles and Benedict7Stephen and LawranceStephen and LawranceStephen and LawranceStephen and LawranceStephen and LawranceA representation of Christ the Pantocrator can be seen on the tympanum of the doorway between the n° 5 and 6 bays to the south.==== Third register ====Upper frontispiece.Consisting of a circular frieze above the bays, this register is rather poorly preserved.",
"The frieze forms twenty-four niches, probably intended to house representations of the twenty-four elders of the Apocalypse.",
"The figures of Abraham - at whose right Isaiah would have Isaiah - Ananias and Hosea can be reconstructed.",
"Most of the figures hold phylacteries in their hands, but mistakes may have been made by the painter in charge of reproducing them: the text on some phylacteries does not seem to relate to the figures holding them, suggesting possible inversions if the decorator had copied a text whose meaning he did not understand.This frieze completes the biblical scenes in the second register, but also provides a transition to the Apocalypse theme in the fourth register.==== Fourth register ====On the intrados of the dome was a figuration of the Apocalypse, mentioned in 1625 by a Carthusian monk, in continuity with the theme of the third register.",
"This fresco was probably already too badly damaged by the poor condition of its support to be saved during the 19th century consolidations.",
"Only the names of two cities in Asia Minor, Laodicea and Philadelphia - out of the seven mentioned in the first chapters of this book - remain discernible.",
"According to Angelico Surchamp, the theme of the ''Agnus Dei'' could have appeared at the top of the dome."

[
"Architectural and epigraphic studies",
"The following list is not exhaustive.",
"It is limited to those studies devoted to the chapel that have been the subject of substantial publications, and briefly summarizes their content or particularities.In 1862, Earl Louis de Galembert wrote a memoir on the history and progress of mural painting and sculpture in Touraine from the 10th century to the early years of the 13th century (1120), published in the proceedings of the Congrès archéologique de France session held in Saumur in 1862.In this first document, very partially devoted to the chapel, he proposes an initial dating of the frescos, but does not describe them in detail.The 1948 session of the ''Congrès archéologique de France'' held in Tours was devoted to the study of monuments in Touraine.",
"The proceedings published the following year included a chapter on the Saint-Jean du Liget chapel and its murals, architecture and frescos, written by art historian Marc Thibout.In 1965, Benedictine medievalist Angelico Surchamp published several articles on the chapel in the collective work Val de Loire roman et Touraine romane.",
"In one of these articles, unlike his colleagues, he sees the representation of John the Baptist and not Paul in one of the chapel's figurations of saints.Voichita Muntenau's 1976 doctoral dissertation at Columbia University, published in 1978 and referred to in numerous subsequent books and articles, is entirely devoted to the study of the chapel's frescos, including proposals on dating, thematics and precise description of the motifs.Historian Robert Favreau conducted a study on the painting and epigraphy of the Liget chapel.",
"The text was published under several titles in various collections and journals, including Cahiers de l'inventaire in 1988.While the publication is largely devoted to the description and interpretation of the frescos, it also touches on other aspects of the monument, such as its controversial dedication to Saint John.Written in 2011, this is the first book to be devoted in its entirety to the chapel, which is studied from historical, architectural and epigraphic angles.",
"Its author, Christophe Meunier, takes stock of the knowledge acquired and the questions still unanswered, and develops the original hypothesis of a construction whose dimensions are an application of the golden ratio.As part of a doctoral thesis in art history to be defended in 2021, Amaelle Marzais is studying the chapel's frescos from both stylistic and technical points of view, along with the painted decorations of other religious buildings in the Indre-et-Loire region."

"It is the church for the Våle parish which is part of the Tønsberg domprosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Tunsberg.",
"The white, stone church was built in a long church design around the year 1190 using plans drawn up by an unknown architect.",
"The church seats about 244 people."
],
[
"History",
"The earliest existing historical records of the church date back to the year 1346, but the church was not built that year.",
"The first church in Våle was likely a wooden church that was probably built during the 11th century.",
"The area of Våle was Christianized by Olaf Tryggvason during the 900s, and the first church was likely built after that time.",
"The Våle area has many pre-Christian burial mounds, so the area must have been an important site before Christian times.Around the year 1190, the old wooden church was torn down and replaced with the present Romanesque stone church.",
"The church is said to have been built by Danish and German craftsmen.",
"Originally, the church was far simpler than today.",
"It was likely just the nave and chancel (no sacristy, church porch, or bell tower).",
"The original church may have had a small clock tower on the roof.",
"The nave and chancel were both built in a rectangular shape, but the inside of the chancel had a curved apse.",
"The church was dedicated to Saint Olav on Saint Sunniva's Day (July 8).In 1673, the Count of Jarlsberg took over ownership of the church from the King of Denmark-Norway.",
"Soon after, the Count decided to renovate the church.",
"The church underwent a big renovation.",
"Then again in 1747, the church underwent another large renovation and expansion.",
"The old chancel was torn down and the nave was extended to the east and a new chancel was constructed.",
"Also, a new sacristy was built on the east end of the new chancel.",
"The interior furnishings were also replaced during this period.Due to financial difficulties, Count Gustav Wilhelm Wedels had to sell the county's churches.",
"He sold Våle Church in 1770 to the merchant Hegaard in Holmestrand, for 1,200 rigsdaler.",
"Hegaard also had financial difficulties, and eventually declared bankruptcy.",
"The church was then handed over to his son-in-law, the auditor general Jens Flor from Haugeboe in Asker as collateral.",
"Flor sold the church in 1804 to shipowner and merchant Rasmus Alsing from Holmestrand.",
"In 1808, he died and his son inherited the church.",
"Rasmus Alsing died in 1858, and in 1859 the parish bought the church.",
"In 1871, a new church porch and bell tower were added to the west end of the nave.",
"The interior was changed on the same occasion, including new ceilings and windows.",
"This also included getting rid of the medieval pulpit and limestone baptismal font and replacing them with new ones.",
"The tower was unstable and had to be reinforced several times, most recently in 1951.In 1956–1957, the church interior was renovated and updated.",
"The interior was extensively restored in 2004–2006 and then in 2010 the interior was returned to its 1870 look."

"Etymology of Curitiba"
],
[
"Introduction",
"Diagram representing the etymology of ''Curitiba'' according to Eduardo de Almeida NavarroThis article deals with the etymology of the name of the city of Curitiba, capital of the Brazilian state of Paraná.The meaning of ''Curitiba'' is well-established among scholars.",
"It signifies \"\" or \"\" (), reflecting the landscape that surrounds the city.",
"The primary subject of debate lies in the language of origin of this toponym.",
"Aryon Rodrigues, in an academic article, argues that it ultimately derives from Old Guarani, albeit exhibiting significant influences from the General Language spoken by ''mestiços'' originating from São Paulo or Rio de Janeiro.",
"Eduardo de Almeida Navarro, while concurring with Rodrigues regarding the meaning, specifies this language as the Paulista General Language."
],
[
"Curitiba",
"The primitive nucleus of the city of Curitiba was called .",
"The region where this nucleus was located was called or .",
"When a village was established in the area, it became known as , that is, was replaced by ."
],
[
"Spelling and meaning",
"From 1720 to 1853, it was possible to write the name of Curitiba in various ways, such as ''Curiytyba'', ''Curiytuba'', ''Curituba'', ''Coretyba'', ''Coreytyba'', ''Corityba'', and ''Curetyba''.",
"The forms ''Corityba'' and ''Curityba'' were in use from 1853 to 1919.That year, the Municipal Chamber of Curitiba, through 25 July Resolution 7, officially defined the spelling as ''Curityba''.",
"On 19 December, , then President of the state of Paraná, signed Decree 1126, which mandated the adoption of the name ''Curityba'' for all official acts of the state.",
"In 1943, the spelling of the name of the capital of Paraná became ''Curitiba''.The meaning of the toponym ''Curitiba'' is well-established.",
"In this sense, it signifies \"\" or \"\" (); all modern scholars concur with this interpretation.",
"Indeed, the region surrounding the city of Curitiba is covered with Brazilian pine trees (''Araucaria angustifolia''), which is also reflected in the toponymy of immediate or neighboring areas, such as Pinhais, São José dos Pinhais, and Pinhalão.",
"Certainly of Tupi–Guarani origin, there are, however, divergences regarding the specific language of origin of this toponym."
],
[
"Records and morphological analysis",
"A significant portion of the territory of the Brazilian state of Paraná was inhabited by indigenous people who spoke the Old Guarani language.",
"The Peruvian priest Antonio Ruiz de Montoya documented in his works the word \"\" (pine tree), providing the compound name \"\", among others.",
"Therefore, the basic form of the name for the Brazilian pine tree (''Araucaria angustifolia'') was —in Old Guarani, the final consonant was often dropped, except in cases where it was followed by another consonant within the same word.",
"The second part of the word ''Curitiba'' derives from a root common to the languages of the Tupi–Guarani family.",
"Bringing forth an idea of existence, in composition it designates a place where something abounds.",
"Montoya, exemplifying its use in Old Guarani, where the form of this root was , provides the terms \"\" () and \"\" ().",
"One can thus construct , to which the suffix is added in specific situations, as documented by Montoya in \"\" () and \"\" ().It is often asserted the name ''Curitiba'' is formed by and .",
"Although one can analyze as a composition between (pine or pine nut) and (tree), Montoya does not record without —the pine nut with shell itself is called , not .",
"In Old Guarani, the composition should have been .",
"The apostrophe here represents the glottal stop, and the letter y represents the close central unrounded vowel.",
"When appropriated by Portuguese speakers, indigenous words lost the glottal stop, and the y was sometimes replaced by i, sometimes by u. Aryon Rodrigues suggests, then, would have become and, with the contraction of the two i's, .",
"In one of the oldest records of the name ''Curitiba'', from 1653, it is read as ''Quereitiba'', indicating the sequence of two i's.",
"There is also a possible record of ''Curijtiba'' in the 1698 land grant letter of Botiatuva."
],
[
"Language of origin",
"Kaingang.Augustin Saint-Hilaire attributed the name ''Curitiba'' to the Guarani language.",
"Carl Friedrich Philipp von Martius attributed it to the Tupi language, but he gave this term a broad sense, so his hypothesis does not contradict that of Saint-Hilaire.In Paraná, the toponym ''Curitiba'' is the only one ending in ''tiba''; the others end in ''tuba'' or ''tuva'' (such as ''Guaratuba'', for instance).",
"There, the letter y before b was adapted, in Portuguese, as u.",
"Along the coast, the area where ''tuba'' and ''tuva'' predominate extends from the bay of Angra dos Reis to Laguna; inland, it spans from the upper Paraíba do Sul River and the upper and middle Tietê River to the Uruguay River.",
"Regarding the ''tiba'' element, it predominates in the area from the upper Tietê River to the upper Grande River in Minas Gerais; and from the coast of Angra dos Reis to the Jequitinhonha River in Bahia.Anyway, it should be noted the forms ''Curituba'', ''Curituva'', ''Curutuba'', and ''Currutuva'' have been documented.",
"This indicates that, in the 17th century, the expected pronunciations ''Curituba'' and ''Curituva'' also existed; ''Curitiba'' specifically has been attested since at least 1649, as seen in testimony regarding the discovery of gold in the fields of Curitiba.",
"Aryon Rodrigues argues the pronunciation ''Curitiba'' derives from the early explorers of the Curitiba fields.",
"Most of them likely spoke a General Language, alongside Portuguese, and probably adapted words from one language to the other.",
"Indeed, , involved in gold mining in Curitiba, was a native of Rio de Janeiro (where ''tiba'' prevails, instead of ''tuba'' and ''tuva''), and, in the testimonies taken at his initiative, the form ''Curitiba'' consistently appears 14 times.",
"Therefore, the pronunciation ''Curitiba'' reveals accents of individuals hailing from distant regions, such as São Paulo or Rio de Janeiro.",
"The toponym in question, according to Rodrigues, should be a name derived from a General Language.",
"Eduardo de Almeida Navarro agrees, specifying the Paulista General Language as the language of origin of the toponym.=== Kaingang hypothesis === reported the indigenous leader Arakxó, chief of the Kaingang people, attributed the name ''Curitiba'' to the phrase \"\", which literally means \"hurry, let's go!\".",
"According to Arakxó, the Kaingang people, upon abandoning their land in favor of the Portuguese, would have uttered the phrase, imperfectly reproduced by Portuguese speakers and transformed into ''Curitiba''.",
"In 1950, the Kaingang woman Maria Francisca das Dores provided Aryon Rodrigues with another hypothesis.",
"Attempts to explain Tupi–Guarani toponyms in Kaingang are not limited to ''Curitiba''; Maria Francisca das Dores attempted to explain, through her language, the toponym ''Itapetininga'', which actually originates from the Paulista General Language."

"Founded in 1980, it has two separate retail divisions, the General Store and Building Materials Exchange, which sell different types of items, which are dropped off daily by self-haulers."
],
[
"History",
"The City of Berkeley started a plan in 1976 aiming for the reuse of recyclable items.",
"They dumped many reusable items in a landfill, and a nonprofit organization unsuccessfully attempted to salvage them.",
"Urban Ore was formed by Dan Knapp and Mary Lou Van Deventer, a married couple, in 1980 to recover and sell reusable items.",
"It did not do well in the beginning due to the lack of customers.",
"The facility containing Urban Ore moved twice between 1981 and 1983 because the truck's drop-off point frequently changed.",
"The 1983 location was available after citizens rejected a plan to build an incinerator for trash at the lot.",
"Urban Ore was one of the leaders of the opposition to the plan.As a recycling operation was beneficial to the city, it allowed Urban Ore to have free rent at its current place and licensed access to salvaged goods until it reached over $11,000 monthly in income, when it could afford commercial rent.",
"Urban Ore was able to reach this goal in 1989 and moved out of the city property.",
"It moved again in 2002, to its current location on 900 Murray Street.",
"The operation had to lay off employees during the COVID-19 pandemic.",
"Sales during this time decreased by 30% in comparison to the same month a year earlier.",
"It was able to recuperate when competing businesses in the area closed down due to the pandemic.",
"In February 2023, workers at Urban Ore filed a petition to the National Labor Relations Board to form a labor union through the Industrial Workers of the World.",
"The workers joined the union in April."

"Pedro Irastorza"
],
[
"Introduction",
"'''Pedro Irastorza Ayerbe''' (22 April 1918 – 1991) was a Spanish footballer who played as a defender for Real Sociedad.",
"He is best known for being the third youngest player in the history of La Liga, having featured in a league match for Sociedad in 1934 at the age of 15."
],
[
"Biography",
"Born in Zaldibia, Gipuzkoa, Irastorza began his football career in the youth departments of his local club, Real Sociedad, which was renamed as ''Donostia Club de Futbol'' in 1931 with the advent of the Second Spanish Republic.Irastorza made his official competitive debut for the first team on matchday 14 of the 1933–34 La Liga, starting in a 0–4 loss to FC Barcelona at the Camp de Les Corts on 4 February 1934, and in doing so at the age of 15 years and 288 days, he not only became the youngest player in the club's history (a record that he still holds), but also the youngest in La Liga's then-short history, becoming the first-ever under 16 player to feature in the Spanish top-flight.",
"He held this record for just five years, until it was broken by Sansón, who debuted in 1939, aged 15 years and 255 days.",
"Irastorza is currently the third youngest player in the Spanish top-flight, hedging out by just one day the fourth-placed Óscar Ramón, who also made his debut at the home of FC Barcelona, and also in a 0–4 loss.",
"Donostia's coach, Harry Lowe, decided to give this debut to Irastorza because he had been impressed by his performances in the youth teams.",
"The chronicles of the time say that he was a \"very brave\" midfielder, despite his age.Irastorza had to wait seven months for his next competitive first-team match, which finally came on 16 September in a Copa Vasca match against Alavés.",
"He became a regular for Donostia in the league in 1935, playing 14 matches between January and April, most notably in a 1–7 loss to Valencia at the Mestalla Stadium on 24 March 1935, where the 16-year-old Irastorza played alongside his 48-year-old coach Harry Lowe, who thus became the oldest player in La Liga that day.",
"The age difference between them was 31 years and 255 days, which remains the biggest age difference between partners in La Liga's history.",
"However, Irastorza was the more experienced one between the two of them since he had already played over 10 league matches while Lowe was making his competitive debut in Spanish football.",
"In fact, Lowe's appearance in the game was nothing more than an emergency as Donostia went to Valencia with only 11 men and then one of them got injured just before the kick-off, so Lowe was forced to include himself in the line-up.At the end of the 1934–35 season, Donostia was relegated to the Segunda División, so Irastorza left the club, but not before making his Copa del Rey debut against Real Unión in the first leg of the fifth round of the 1935 Copa del Presidente de la República; he also played the second leg and a tiebreaker in an eventual loss.",
"He played for Osasuna until the Spanish Civil War broke out.",
"Afterwards, he continued playing there until his return to Real Sociedad in the 1941–42 season.",
"He retired in the following season playing for Murcia.In total, Irastorza played 33 matches for Real Sociedad; 22 in La Liga, 8 in the Copa Vasca and 3 in the Copa del Rey; but failed to score a single goal.",
"He left the club with a record of 9 wins, 2 draws, and 22 losses.",
"Aged 15 years and 288 days, Irastorza remains the youngest player in the history of Real Sociedad to play in La Liga, and by quite some distance, since the player who came the closest to breaking this record, Ander Barrenetxea, debuted at the age of 16 years and 359 days."

"He is best known for being the fourth youngest player in the history of La Liga, having featured in a league match for Zaragoza in 1984 at the age of 15."
],
[
"Biography",
"Born in Zaragoza, Ramón began his football career in the youth departments of his hometown club, Real Zaragoza.",
"He made his official competitive debut for the first team on matchday 2 of the 1984–85 La Liga, entering the field in the 83rd minute of an eventual 0–4 loss to FC Barcelona at the Camp Nou on 9 September 1984, and in doing so at the age of 15 years and 289 days, he not only became the youngest player in the club's history (a record that he still holds), but also the then third youngest player in La Liga's history, after Sansón (15 years and 255 days) and Pedro Irastorza (15 years and 288 days), who had both achieved this feat in the 1930s, with the latter having also made his debut at the home of FC Barcelona, and also in a 0–4 loss.",
"This match was played with youth and amateur players from both teams due to an ongoing strike caused by professional players in order to protect their image rights by intervening in television agreements, and in fact, Ramón was only called up by the first team due to the 1984 footballers' strike for which Zaragoza went to the Camp Nou with youth players.Ramón would later play in the Segunda División with Atlético Madrileño, the reserve team of Atlético Madrid, but for only one season, as he was unable to hold down a place.",
"He then began bouncing around in the lower tiers of Spanish football, going on a journey through minor teams in the community of Madrid such as Talavera, Fuenlabrada, and Rayo Majadahonda, where he retired at the end of the 1992–93 season, at the age of 24.He was a basketball coach at the Jesús Maestro school in Madrid."

"Critical reception",
"Writing in ''The Canberra Times'' Stephen Saunders noted: \"Hall is now well known and well reviewed overseas, and it cannot be said he is without honour here.",
"There is still a suspicion that many of his countrymen who could read him with pleasure don't read him.",
"This would be a pity.",
"Although his books are mysterious, they are written plain for heart and skin rather than complex for dry study.",
"Like Randolph Stow, also born 1935, he provides new fables for an old land.",
"\"In ''The Los Angeles Times'' Richard Elder had some doubts about the book: \"The novel intercuts, in a deliberately erratic rhythm, among his youth on Britain’s Isle of Man, his manacled voyage to Australia, and what happens to him after he arrives.",
"Appropriately to the theme, he recalls the years at home with a certain concreteness, while the journey and the time in Australia become more and more uncertain and ambiguous.",
"At some point he goes mad.",
"We are not quite sure when, and that creates our increasing displacement inside his narrative...There are beautiful and haunting moments in Hall’s story.",
"But it is too disordered in its intuitive and daring connections and disconnections to work very well.",
"Everything in the narrator’s tumultuous words is suggestive, but many of the suggestions seem not to lead anywhere.\""
