"Esteban Ezcurra Arraiza"
],
[
"Introduction",
"'''Esteban Ezcurra Arraiza''' (1888–1964) was a Spanish landholder and local public servant.",
"During a few separate strings between 1920 and 1960 he served as mayor of Echauri and in the late 1940s as member of the Navarrese auxiliary advisory body, Consejo Foral Administrativo.",
"In the mid-1930s he took part in Carlist conspiracy and preparations to the July 1936 coup d'état.",
"He is best known as commander of the regional rearguard branch of the Carlist militia requeté, and was active in particular in early months of the Spanish Civil War.",
"In historiography he is counted among chief architects of wartime Nationalist terror in Navarre and is portrayed as the person who managed the Carlist repression network in the region."
],
[
"Family and youth",
"The oldest records referring to Ezcurra's ancestors are related to Tafalla.",
"In the 1750s the first representative of the family and the great-great-grandfather of Esteban was noted as born in a nearby town of Barásoain; it is there where the following 3 generations were born.",
"They formed part of the local ''hidalguia''; the family nest, Casa de Juanzar, was one of major buildings in the town.",
"The paternal grandfather of Esteban, Pio Juan Manuel Ezcurra Jiménez (born 1807), married Josefa Francisca Felipe Erviti.",
"Their son was the father of Esteban, José Ezcurra Felipe (died 1916).",
"He was probably among the younger offspring, as he did not inherit the family possessions in Barásoain.",
"Ezcurra Felipe married Teresa Arraiza López (1845–1910) from a family of somewhat higher social status, with representatives noted in history of the region.",
"Since the late 17th century the Arraizas were related to Ochovi, where they owned a family palace.",
"The maternal grandfather of Esteban, José Fermín Arraiza Illincheta (born 1807), a graduate in law, married a girl who descended from the Mendigañas, a landed family from Echauri.",
"It was their daughter and Esteban's mother, an etxauritarra, who inherited the estate.Following marriage José Ezcurra and Teresa Arraiza settled in the co-called Casa Mendigaña in Echauri; the family became “una de las casas fuerte del pueblo”.",
"It is not clear how much land they owned.",
"As a ''terrateniente'' Ezcurra was among largest taxpayers in the municipality and owned plots in neighboring locations; he ran the economy on ambitious scale and in the 1880s he presented his wines – though he was probably also growing cattle – on national fairs.",
"In the 1890s he represented Echauri in talks on a would-be Logroño-Pamplona railway line and was among ''jurados'' in the Pamplona juridical district; in the early 20th century he became ''juez municipal''.",
"It is not clear how many children the couple had; sources point to 7 siblings, yet there is no further information on older brothers.There is close to nothing known about the childhood and youth of Esteban.",
"None of the sources consulted provides information where he received secondary education and whether he pursued an academic career, e.g.",
"in law as was typical for young males of his social standing.",
"In 1906 as an 18-year-old he was first noted in the societé columns of the Pamplonese press.",
"In the early 1910s he started to replace his father as contact person in commercial adverts, related to sale or rent of various agricultural equipment and assets; in 1915, already one year before death of his father, he was referred to as “el propietaro Esteban Ezcurra”.",
"Though in 1924 he was mentioned in newspapers in relation to a “distinguida señorita”, he married as late as in 1930.He wed Julia Iñarra Legarraga (1893–1965) from Elizondo, descendant to a distinguished family and a relative to local Navarrese officials; the Iñarras and the Ezcurras might have been interrelated.",
"The couple had no children."
],
[
"Early public engagements (until 1931)",
"Political preferences of the Ezcurra ancestors are not clear.",
"The Arraizas have been traditionally supporting Carlism; Esteban's maternal uncle was related to the Juanmartiñenas, in 1874 awarded title of Conde de Aldaz by the claimant Carlos VII.",
"However, there is no evidence of Esteban's Traditionalist endeavors until he reached mid-age.",
"The first information on his public activity – apart from singing in the local Pamplonese choir - come from the mid-1910s, when in his late 20s he served as vicepresidente of Asociación Neutralista de Navarra, an organisation supporting Spanish neutrality in the Great War; in Spanish conditions it amounted to support of the Central Powers.",
"In 1917 he was also recorded in local regional Junta Directiva of Asociación de Labradores, an agricultural association dominated by large owners.",
"In 1918, barely aged 30, Ezcurra represented Echauri at Asamblea de Ayuntamientos Navarros; it was a grand meeting of local mayors organized by Diputación Provincial as part of a campaign for so-called ''reintegración foral'', restoration of fueros, abolished in the 19th century.It is not clear whether during the Pamplonese 1918 Asamblea Ezcurra was already the mayor of Echauri; the first confirmed news of him holding the post comes from 1920 and in the press the information re-appears also during the following few years, at least until 1925.In the early 1920s he represented his town in numerous Navarrese initiatives related to ''reintegración'' and gained some prestige, e.g.",
"in another Asamblea de Municipios he was among 6 alcaldes who represented the merindad of Pamplona.",
"He joined Sociedad de Estudios Vascos, though it is not clear whether he spoke Basque; apart from membership, there is no trace of his activity in the organisation.",
"His other cultural undertakings was engagement in local fiestas, where he used to perform as a singer, or the 1928 setup of Sociedad Unión Echauritarra, a sport organisation which he presided; its sections were dedicated to pelota, football and cycling.In the late 1920s Ezcurra was engaged in Sindicato Agrícola Católico, the organisation he started to preside in 1929.It formed part of Federación Católico-Social Navarra (FCSN), a regional agrarian organisation controlled mostly by mid-size and large landholders; in 1929 he emerged as secretary of the federation.",
"Initially he presided over its Pamplona section, but in 1930 he assumed presidency of the entire organisation, the position held before by major ''terratenientes'' like Esteban Deán, Francisco J. Martínez de Morentín and Justo Garrán.",
"FCSN was a powerful regional economic organisation; in the early 1930s it grouped 99 Sindicatos Agrícolas or Cajas Rurales and had 13,291 members on its rolls, of which 53% were owners, 22% tenants and 25% rural workers.",
"Being at the helm of FCSN elevated Ezcurra from a locally known activist to a person recognized in the regional Navarrese economic life, especially that he entered also other bodies, e.g.",
"Comisión Arbitral de la Industria Azucarera.",
"He followed in the footsteps of his father and also sent products to local fairs, at time gaining minor prizes."

[
"Second Republic (1931-1936)",
"Estella statute rally, 1931Earlier efforts aimed at ''reintegración foral'' following declaration of the republic in 1931 were re-directed towards a Basque-Navarrese autonomy.",
"In May 1931 Ezcurra – again the mayor of Echauri – wired the assembly of municipios in Puente la Reina “most enthusiastic and sincere support” for the draft autonomy statute.",
"In July as alcalde he participated in consultation process.",
"In a grand meeting of Navarrese local councils in Estella he occupied a place in the presidency and voted in favor of the draft, supporting it also in Junta General of FCSN.",
"The draft was eventually rejected by the Cortes, and in early 1932 another version was prepared by Madrid-appointed provincial self-governments.",
"In June 1932 it was subject to approval by gathering of provincial ayuntamientos.",
"This time Ezcurra voted against the statute; as most Navarrese alcaldes voted likewise, in the region the draft was rejected.Republican reforms introduced arbitration bodies; in 1932 Ezcurra became member of Jurado Mixto del Trabajo Rural for the district of Pamplona, where he represented Sindicato Agrícola de Echauri.",
"In this role he continued during the following years, voted as a candidate of FCSN and Asociación de Propietarios Terratenientes de Navarra (APTN).",
"In public he voiced against reportedly subversive activity of UGT and its rural branch, and listed “formidable threats” the republican reforms posed to agriculture.",
"It is known he acted as arbiter in various cases, but it is not clear to what extent he managed to implement his vision.",
"As part of propaganda activity he gave addresses at meetings of anti-Marxist unions.",
"As president of FCSN he worked to slow down implementation of agrarian reform in Navarre.",
"Ezcurra resigned as FCSN president in 1934, taking positions in APTN and Caja de Seguros.Carlist standardShortly prior to the fall of the monarchy, in March 1931, Ezcurra was mentioned as president of the Echauri Jaimista círculo.",
"There was little follow-up noted until in 1933 he started to organize the Echauri detachment of requeté, possibly financing it with his own money.",
"In 1935 he emerged as head of requeté in Valle de Echauri.",
"In 1936, when gear-up to Carlist rising was in full swing, Ezcurra was nominated commander of one of 3 existent Navarrese requeté companies; he was given a provisional rank of alférez.",
"A present-day historian suspects he kept a low profile as he was not subject to official measures, and this is despite almost open military drills, like machine-gun training for 30 men on the fields of Echauri in March 1936.In mid-June he took part in secret talks with leader of the military conspiracy, Mola.",
"On July 2 it was in his house that Mola spoke with the nationwide requeté supervisor, Zamanillo.",
"Though talks between the military and Carlist leadership were going on badly, in private Ezcurra told Mola he was prepared to join “con boina o sin boina”; he declared also that “si no convencemos mañana al general saco las bombas yo solo”."
],
[
"''Inspectór de Requeté'' (1936-1937)",
"Ezcurra (2fR), September 1936In mid-July 1936 Ezcurra was instrumental in transmitting orders to rise.",
"Though he was among only 4 ''capitanes'' and ''tenientes'' of Navarrese requeté, scholars suspect his command during first days of the coup was rather nominal; sources provide evidence of his minor role in Valle de Echauri.",
"He was not assigned to lead any militia unit dispatched from Navarre to Basque, Aragon or Guadarrama fronts.",
"As leaders of Navarrese requeté were either detained or sent to lead combat troops, in early August Junta Central Carlista de Guerra de Navarra (JCCGN) nominated Ezcurra Inspectór de Requeté de Navarra, effectively in command of Carlist militia units which remained in Navarre.",
"His role included recruitment, assignments, directing reinforcements, propaganda, visits to frontlines, and co-ordination with army command.",
"He also took part in non-military projects, e.g.",
"the one about setting up a university in Pamplona.One scholar systematically claims that Ezcurra was the person managing the Carlist repression in Navarre; he implies that Ezcurra was among key Nationalist officials responsible for some 3,000 killed in the province, according to some parameters the highest provincial repression rate across all Spain.",
"General Mola, considered the chief architect of Nationalist terror, reportedly found in the likes of Ezcurra perfect “instrumentos” to implement his strategy.",
"The claim is chiefly based on Ezcurra's role of commander of all rearguard requeté troops (at times referred to as Requeté Auxiliar, different from frontline requeté tercios) operational in Navarre.",
"Three of his specific roles are listed in particular.",
"First, it is understood that he was either in some way responsible or that he was personally running the Carlist detention centre, located in the Pamplona Piarist college.",
"Second, he is supposed to have been the key person issuing incarceration or excarceration orders, to be acted upon by the Carlist repressive machinery.",
"Third, he is held responsible for – in some versions personally commanding – so-called Tercio Móvil or Tercio Auxiliar, a requeté unit which performed arrests and executions.None of the sources consulted claims that Ezcurra was personally killing inmates or commanding executions.",
"Though in general terms he is considered a key person responsible for Carlist repression in Navarre, it is not clear whether and if yes how he was related to two most notorious cases involving requetés, i.e.",
"so-called'' matanza de Monreal'' (October 1936, 64 killed) and ''matanza de Valcaldera'' (August 1936, 52 killed).",
"It is not certain whether the Valcaldera killings occurred when Ezcurra was in command; the massacre in Monreal took place when he was away.",
"One historian does not associate him with the crime and puts the blame on Jaime del Burgo; at the time Ezcurra was on sort of a propaganda journey to the Nationalist-held Andalusia and was noted back in Navarre in December.",
"According to some accounts Ezcurra protected inhabitants of his native Echauri and prevented any would-be Nationalist repressions in the town.",
"Officially Ezcurra's role as head of Navarrese requeté was terminated following the political unification of April 1937."
],
[
"Unification and afterwards (1937-1939)",
"Ezcurra (3fR) among Nationalist officialsEzcurra mattered little in nationwide politics of Comunión Tradicionalista, though he carried some weight in Navarre.",
"When in early 1937 the party got wind of unification designs, initially Ezcurra was not involved in decision-making, e.g.",
"he was absent during the meeting of CT executive in Insua in February 1937.However, during a meeting in Burgos in March he assisted with a Navarrese requeté detachment waiting outside, which by some participants was perceived as intimidation; Ezcurra was considered “en la órbita del conde de Rodezno”, in political entourage of the chief pro-unification advocate, Rodezno.",
"During the sitting of JCCGN in Pamplona in early April he was invited as a requeté representative.",
"It was decided to form a delegation and press the unification cause with the regent-claimant, Don Javier; Ezcurra was selected to be among the envoys.",
"Few days later in Saint-Jean-de-Luz he declared to the regent that requetés were willing to build “New Spain”; the hesitant Don Javier grudgingly consented.",
"In mid-April Ezcurra took part in another key JCCGN political meeting, which authorized Rodezno to carry out the unification talks.Once the Unification Decree was published Ezcurra wired his enthusiastic support to Franco.",
"In late spring the Carlist and the Falangist paramilitary organisations were declared formally united in a new service, dubbed National Militia, even though frontline units retained their identity.",
"This formally terminated Ezcurra's service as Inspector de Requeté.",
"However, in June 1937 the military headquarters nominated him “capitán honorario” and provisional head of Milicias Nacionales in Navarre.",
"At this role he replaced a career officer Pedro Ibisate Gorria, who assumed command of a frontline unit.",
"During the summer Ezcurra remained supportive of unification proceedings.",
"In August he took part in another sitting of now formally defunct JCCGN; Rodezno briefed the gathering on developments in the new state party, Falange Española Tradicionalista, and received the authorization to proceed.",
"Ezcurra was nominated to comisión, supposed to handle unification-related tension with Don Javier, though there is nothing known about his activity at this role.battle of TeruelIn late 1937 he kept appearing in the press as Jefé Provincial de la Milicia Nacional, though mostly as engaged in procedural and propaganda roles.",
"Things took a turn in February 1938, when requetés were heavily engaged on the Teruel front.",
"Ezcurra protested to the military against combat deployment of Carlist troops.",
"In his opinion, they were unfairly selected as the only ones which formed shock units, to be thrown upon the Republican lines, with heavy casualties anticipated.",
"In response, Ezcurra was dismissed as head of Navarrese Milicias Nacionales.",
"The Nationalist press maintained total blackout about the incident; the Republican one reported it, at times accompanied by conclusion that the Franco-enforced unification has failed and the requetes were referring to the Falangists as \"Rojos\".",
"One newspaper claimed that Ezcurra was detained.",
"Though in March 1938 he was still occasionally mentioned as “Jefe de Requetés” in local titles, afterwards he disappeared from the press and there is no information on his public activity until the end of the war."
],
[
"Early Francoism (after 1939)",
"An internal Carlist document from 1940 lists Ezcurra as leader of old requeté jefatura “deprived of any prestige”, one of 3 factions competing for influence within the bewildered organisation.",
"The same year he co-signed a letter, addressed to the nationwide CT leader Manuel Fal Conde; it contained personal suggestions for the re-established Junta Regional.",
"In 1941, following outbreak of the German-Soviet war, he co-signed a manifesto which pledged loyalty to CT authorities; its bottom line was discouraging former requetés from volunteering to División Azul.",
"In 1942 he maintained this stand against a competitive requeté faction.",
"In 1943 a Carlist from La Rioja, Joaquín Purón, was nominated by Fal as a new Inspector de Requetés de Navarra, entrusted with re-organizing the branch.",
"Former leaders like Ezcurra and Lizarza were somewhat upset, but eventually they decided to co-operate and structure the militia along pre-war lines.",
"Later that year with Purón and Francisco Armisén he formed part of a 3-man ''comisión permanente'', entrusted with political tasks: it was to supervise nominations from merindades to the re-structured Junta Regional.Since the early 1930s there was a current within Carlism which claimed that after death of the octogenarian pretender Alfonso Carlos, the dynastic leadership should be assumed by his grandnephew, Karl Pius.",
"Until the mid-1940s Ezcurra was not known as related.",
"In 1943 Karl Pius, posing as Carlos VIII, openly declared his claim, and Ezcurra occasionally took part in meetings flavored by so-called Carloctavismo.",
"In 1945 Carlos nominated 10 members of his Real Consejo del Reino de Navarra; Ezcurra was among them.",
"Technically supporting Karl Pius did not violate the Carlist loyalty, as under the regency of Don Javier various groups were free to advocate their preferred candidates to the crown.",
"However, the Carloctavistas were pushing the limits; in 1946 many of them – Ezcurra included – signed an open letter to Don Javier; in correct but bold terms they demanded that the regent nominates a successor to the late Don Alfonso Carlos.",
"This is the second last known Ezcurra's epizode related to Traditionalism; the last one was his 1951 support for Carlist candidature to the Pamplona ayuntamiento from so-called tercio familiar; some scholars consider it a proof that he sided with “el sector más franquista del tradicionalismo”.Ezcurra's name kept appearing in proceedings of executive of FCSN, now renamed to Federación Agro-Social de Navarra, but following incorporation of the organisation into the Francoist vertical sindicates in the early 1940s he was no longer listed.",
"At least during the period of 1944-1946 he again served as alcalde of Echauri; in 1949 he was nominated to Consejo Foral Administrativo, the body he unsuccessfully aspired to in 1935.Between 1952 and 1960 he was again almost every year noted as the mayor of his town.",
"He remained moderately active also in some non-political agricultural organisations, like Unión Territorial de Cooperativas.",
"His death was barely recorded in local press, except for private necrological notes; few days later the Carlist ''El Pensamiento Navarro'' published a small related editorial piece which recollected the defunct."

"Magnesium selenide"
],
[
"Introduction",
" '''Magnesium selenide''' is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula '''MgSe'''.",
"It contains magnesium and selenium in a 1:1 ratio.",
"It belongs to the II-VI family of semiconductor compounds."
],
[
"Structure",
"Three crystal structures for MgSe have been experimentally characterized.",
"The rock-salt structure is considered to be the most stable crystal structure that has been observed in bulk samples of MgSe, and a cubic lattice constant of 0.55 nm was deduced for this structure.",
"Although attempts at preparing pure zincblende MgSe have been unsuccessful, the lattice constant of zincblende MgSe has been extrapolated from epitaxial thin films of zincblende MgxZn1-xSySe1-x and MgxZn1-xSe grown on gallium arsenide, the latter of which was prepared with a high magnesium content (up to 95% Mg, i.e., Mg0.95Zn0.05Se).",
"There is good agreement between these and other extrapolations that the lattice constant of pure zincblende MgSe is 0.59 nm.",
"The wurtzite structure of MgSe has been observed, but it is unstable and slowly converts to the rock-salt structure.NiAs- and FeSi-type crystal structures of MgSe are predicted to form by subjecting the rock-salt crystal structure to extremely high pressures."
],
[
"Electronic properties",
"Both rock-salt and zincblende MgSe are semiconductors.",
"On the basis of different extrapolations, a room temperature bandgap of 4.0 eV has been recommended for zincblende MgSe.",
"A room temperature bandgap of 3.9 eV was determined for rock-salt MgSe."
],
[
"Preparation",
"Thin films of amorphous, wurtzite and rock-salt MgSe have been prepared by vacuum deposition of Mg and Se at cryogenic temperatures, followed by heating and annealing.",
"Compound semiconductor alloys of MgSe, such as MgxZn1-xSe, have been prepared by molecular beam epitaxy."
],
[
"Reactions",
"Samples of pure MgSe and Mg-rich MgxZn1-xSe (x > 0.7) readily react with water and oxidize in air."

"Germain Brice"

[
"Introduction",
"Germain Brice: ''Description de la ville de Paris et de tout ce qu'elle contient de plus remarquable'', the three volumes of the seventh edition, published in 1717.",
"'''Germain Brice''' (1653–1727) was a French author, best known for his book ''Description de la ville de Paris et de tout ce qu'elle contient de plus remarquable (Description of the City of Paris and all that what it contains most remarkable)''.",
"The work, which was published in several editions and continually expanded, was first published in 1684.In some of the later editions, the addition ''Nouvelle'' was used in the title.",
"This book was the most popular travel guide on the city of Paris in the 17th and 18th century."
],
[
"Biography",
"Little is known about Germain Brice's life.",
"There are few sources and the information is sparse.",
"What is known about him comes mostly from the ''Avertissement (preface pages)'' of his own publications.=== Man of the Church ===Germain Brice was born in Paris into modest circumstances.",
"Nevertheless, his parents were able to provide him with a sound education, which also included studying.",
"It can be assumed that he studied theology, as contemporary sources say that ''he wore the ecclesiastical habit throughout his life.''",
"However, it is also said that he never joined a religious order.=== Teacher, travel guide and author ===Brice had a fondness for the French language as well as for the fine arts.",
"The cosmopolitan Brice soon came into contact with foreign visitors to Paris, to whom he not only taught the French language, but also introduced them to the city's architectural and artistic sights through walks.",
"This is how, in addition to his job as a language teacher, he also became a tour guide.",
"Through self-study, he acquired in-depth knowledge of his hometown and the artists, architects, writers and public figures who made up the greatness of the city of Paris.",
"However, in order to further deepen his general knowledge of art history, he also went on a study trip to Italy."
],
[
"Brice's travel guide – and the others",
"View of Paris from the Pont Royal with the Seine and the Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris in the distance in Germain Brice's travel guide, seventh edition, published in 1717.In 1684, Brice put the knowledge he had acquired into practice and published his first travel guide on his hometown: ''Description de la ville de Paris et de tout ce qu'elle contient de plus remarquable.''",
"The book immediately became a bestseller and is considered one of the first travel guides ever.",
"Part of the success was certainly the beautiful copperplate engravings that Brice incorporated into his travel guide from the fifth edition (1706) to illustrate the text.",
"For this Brice hired the best engravers and draftsmen of his time such as: Jean Chaufourier, Antoine Hérisset (1685–1769), Ferdinand Delamonce (1678–1753), Claude Lucas (1685–1765), Antoine Aveline, Gérard Jean-Baptiste Scotin (1671–1716) and his son Gérard Jean-Baptiste Scotin ''le jeune'' (1698–1755).",
"These engravings were often later removed from the books to be hung on the wall as framed pictures.",
"The last edition of 1752 includes forty-one engravings, including the folding plan of Paris.=== Thiéry, du Breul and Le Maire ===However, even before Brice published his travel guide, Jacques du Breul (1528–1614), a French Benedictine monk from the Abbaye de Saint-Germain-des-Prés, had already published a book in the same sense, titled ''Théâtre des antiquités de Paris, où est traité de la fondation des églises et chapelles de la cité, Université, ville et diocèse de Paris, comme aussi de l'institution du Parlement, fondation de l'Université et collèges, et autres choses remarquables'' in 1612.And also after Brice's first publication, it was Charles Le Maire with his book ''Paris ancient et nouveau – Ouvrage très curieux ou l'on voit la fondation, les accroissemens, le nombre des habitants, & des Maisons de cette grand Ville,'' published in 1685, who wrote a book in a similar style.Another author, who wrote about Paris and its prestigious buildings, was Luc-Vincent Thiéry.",
"He was the author of the ''Guide des amateurs et des étrangers voyageurs à Paris, ou Description raisonnée de cette Ville, de sa Banlieue, et de tout ce qu'elles contiennent de remarquable,'' published in 1787.However, in addition to the sights, Thiéry focused on the ''hôtels particuliers'' with a particular focus on their interiors and collections.",
"Thiéry's described tours in these private houses amount to guided tours.",
"His reports are like an inventory.",
"He meticulously describes where which pictures are hanging or furniture stands, as well as who made them or what their provenance is, as he did when he visited the Hôtel Chanac de Pompadour in the time of Pierre Victor, Baron de Besenval de Brunstatt.",
"In comparison to Brice, Thiéry does not mention the external architectural features of the Baron de Besenval's residence at all.",
"His focus is exclusively on the baron's valuable furniture as well as his porcelain and art collection.=== The splendour of Paris ===The Hôtel de Soubise in Germain Brice's travel guide, seventh edition, published in 1717.In comparison, of the three similar publications of Germain Brice, Jacques du Breul and Charles Le Maire, Michel Félibien, author of the five-volume ''Histoire de la Ville de Paris,'' points out: ''\"Germain Brice is more brilliant and active than the other two.\"''",
"And Félibien goes on: ''\"Germain Brice brings new splendour to the capital of the kingdom every day with his often reprinted descriptions.\"''",
"Brice was constantly wandering around the city, visiting the most iconic locations, but also observing construction sites and talking to architects and building contractors.",
"So, he was always up to date with what was happening in the city.",
"That's how he also learned about the construction work on the Hôtel de Soubise and the Hôtel Chanac de Pompadour, which were both remodelled and newly built respectively by the celebrated architect Pierre-Alexis Delamair in 1704.Brice included both of these remarkable and still existing ''hôtels particuliers'' in the seventh edition of his travel guide, published in 1717.From the very beginning, Brice knew how to include in his publication those sights and inside stories that aroused great interest among his readers.",
"This also explains the great success of the publication, which was published in nine editions over a period of over 100 years.The travel guide featured amongst others: Royal palaces, churches, places, public buildings and ''hôtels particuliers'' such as the Louvre, the Palais des Tuileries the Palais-Royal, the Palais du Luxembourg, the Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris, the Église Saint-Gervais-Saint-Protais de Paris, the Place Royale, the Place de Louis le Grand, the Sorbonne-Université, the Hôtel de ville de Paris, the Hôtel Royale des Invalides, the Hôtel de Soubise, the Hôtel de Nevers and the Hôtel Chanac de Pompadour.=== The final edition ===frontispiece of the seventh edition of Germain Brice's travel guide, published in 1717.This is a special print of this edition.",
"It is dedicated to August Wilhelm, Herzog von Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel and shows the coat of arms of the ducal house of the Herzogtum Braunschweig-Lüneburg.It wasn't difficult for Germain Brice to find a publisher for his publication.",
"The travel guide sold extremely well and the publishers also made good money from it.",
"While the first edition consisted of 565 pages, the number rose to over 2000 pages in the final edition (1752).The final edition moved away from the original intention of being a travel guide to Paris and became a guide for art lovers, detailing the artistic wealth of Paris.",
"It was the age of the Grand Tour and in particular the British ''Jeunesse dorée,'' the children of the aristocracy and the landed gentry, were stocking up on art knowledge in continental Europe, but also on works of art for their town mansions and country houses.",

"John Williams Reynolds"
],
[
"Introduction",
"'''John Williams Reynolds''' (1817–28 July 1874) was an English cavalry officer and organic chemist.",
"His disagreement in 1840 with Lord Cardigan, his commanding officer, (the notorious \"black bottle affair\") made him famous, and a popular'' cause célèbre'' in London.",
"At the end of 1840 he left his regiment to study at the Royal Military College, Sandhurst.",
"After graduating he did not return to regimental duties but took up the study of organic chemistry at the Royal College of Chemistry, London.",
"He discovered the compound propylene, thus advancing the theory of homology.",
"He was recalled to service in 1851 and rose to the rank of Major-General."
],
[
"Early life",
"Reynolds was the son of Lieutenant-General Charles Reynolds of the army of the Honourable East India Company (HEIC), who in 1807 had returned to live in England after his retirement.",
"Charles Reynolds died in 1819 and John Reynolds became the ward of Henry Harvey, another former officer of the HEIC, whose own son died 1828.In April 1830 Reynolds was sent as a boarder to Eton College, leaving after four years."
],
[
"Regimental service",
"On 18 September 1835 Reynolds was commissioned as a cornet in the British Army, taking a passage to India to join the 11th Light Dragoons, a \"society\" regiment then stationed at Meerut.",
"The regiment was recalled to England in 1838, and Reynolds was promoted to lieutenant in November that year.",
"He initially made a favourable impression upon Lord Cardigan, the commanding officer (with whom he was on social terms), and on 10 January 1840 he was, by purchase, made captain.===\"Black bottle\" affair===On 18 May 1840, while stationed at Canterbury Barracks, Kent, the officers of the 11th Hussars (the renamed 11th Light Dragoons) held a formal mess dinner in honour of a visit from General James Sleigh, the Inspector-General of Cavalry.",
"Reynolds ordered a bottle of moselle wine for a guest, which the waiter brought to the table in its customary black bottle.",
"Lord Cardigan mistook the beverage for porter (a form of beer also sold in black bottles) and sent Reynolds a reprimand for ungentlemanly behaviour.",
"Reynolds refused to accept this and Cardigan had him placed under close arrest, confined to his room for 22 hours a day.",
"After three days of this detention the conditions were relaxed to \"open arrest\", while Cardigan travelled to Horse Guards, London, (the headquarters of the British army) to complain of Reynolds's behaviour.",
"Lord Hill, the commander-in-chief, was persuaded to send Reynolds a letter of admonishment but Reynolds would not accept this, and in turn wrote to Horse Guards to request permission to leave the Army.",
"In this he was supported by his guardian, Henry Harvey (by this time an influential figure in society) who threatened to release the true background to the disagreement to the ''Morning Post'' newspaper: Cardigan's resentment of the young officer had arisen when a court martial on which Reynolds had served as president had denied Cardigan's wish for a conviction; furthermore Cardigan had claimed, without justification, that officers like Reynolds who had served in India lacked discipline.",
"Fearing scandal, not least because a large proportion of the Army's commanders had served in India, Lord Somerset, the military secretary, persuaded Reynolds to stay, with a promise of six months' leave, a two-year senior command course at the Royal Military College, Sandhurst (RMC) and an intimation that he would never again have to serve under Cardigan.",
"Reynolds accepted.",
"The story broke to the public on 17 September 1840, when an anonymous but detailed account of the affair appeared in ''The Times''.Reynolds was allowed paid leave for the remainder of 1840, until he received leave of absence to take his place at RMC Sandhurst.",
"The generous terms Somerset offered Reynolds did not go unnoticed: George Muntz, a reformist MP, alleged in a House of Commons speech on 13 May 1841 that the undue favouritism being shown to Reynolds was, in the public's mind, a confirmation that Cardigan had been in the wrong but, as an aristocrat, he was being shielded from scrutiny.On completion of the course Reynolds did not return to service immediately, taking official leave-of-absence as a \"half-pay-officer\"."
],
[
"Marriage",
"On 20 January 1841 Reynolds was married to Helen Harvey, his guardian's daughter.",
"A son, Henry Charles Reynolds, was born 12 October 1841."
],
[
"Study of chemistry",
"On Reynolds's release from the army he enrolled as a student at the Royal College of Chemistry, London, investigating the new field of organic chemistry under the direction of professor Wilhelm Hofmann.",
"In April 1850 Reynolds published a paper in which he reported the identification of a new hydrocarbon: while analysing the products formed when fusel oil was heated he found that a component in the original mixture, amyl alcohol, yielded an unknown gas.",
"To identify it he reacted it with bromine and isolated the resulting compound.",
"He deduced that this was C6H5Br2 and that the original gas was therefore C6H6.He named the gas propylene, after the hypothesised, but not yet isolated, propylic alcohol.",
"The Royal Society of Chemistry recognised this as an important step in the development of the theory of homology.",
"He was elected a Fellow of The Chemical Society of London."
],
[
"Army staff officer",
"On the outbreak of the Crimean War at the end of 1853, the War Office decided that Reynolds should be recalled to fill vacated staff officer positions.",
"After a spell of duty at Horse Guards in the Adjutant-General department, in 1856 he was posted to Jamaica as deputy Adjutant-General, with the rank of lieutenant-colonel.",
"Returning to England after ten years, he was assigned to the northern division of the army at Manchester as assistant Adjutant-General.",
"He retired on 23 December 1864.He was promoted to brevet major-general on 6 March 1868."

[
"Reconciliation with Cardigan",
"At a formal dinner of the 11th Hussars in 1865, some senior officers of the regiment persuaded Cardigan to meet Reynolds, and the two men entered the dining room together, hand-in-hand.",

"The bend chequy",
"=== Origin of the coat of arms and significance ===The origin of the coat of arms of the House of Hauteville is uncertain and debated, since there are allegedly no documents or historical evidence to date with certainty its introduction, as well as its actual use by the Siculo-Norman monarchs; according to some studies, the Hauteville coat of arms would be one \"attributed\" to the dynasty only in later times.",
"This thesis, however, is countered by the reconstructions of some historians, such as Giovanni Antonio Summonte, Agostino Inveges and Giuseppe Sancetta.Coat of Arms of the House of Hauteville (detail from one of the plates in Giovanni Antonio Summonte's ''Historia della Città e Regno di Napoli''): unlike the description of the coat of arms provided by Summonte, the bend chequy in this reproduction consists of four and not five tiles for each of the two tinctures.Between 1601 and 1602, the four books (the last two posthumously) of the original edition of the ''Historia della Città e Regno di Napoli'', by the Neapolitan historian Giovanni Antonio Summonte, were published.",
"In the following decades and up to the middle of the following century, several reprints were made, as well as expanded editions by other authors, the most widespread being that of 1675.In his monumental work, Summonte writes that Roger II, first king of Sicily, \"bore as an insignia a duplicate stripe, divided into five parts, that is, five red, and five silver, which descends from the right side to the left side sideways, placed on an azure field, as did all the Normans his predecessors.\"",
"In the opinion of the Neapolitan historian, this symbol would signify \"an invincible spirit in acquiring supremacy.",
"\"Coats of arms of the Duchy of Normandy and the House of Hauteville, depicted in Agostino Inveges' ''Annali della felice città di Palermo'' (1651).A similar but more articulate thesis was made by the Sicilian historian Agostino Inveges, in the third volume of his ''Annali della felice città di Palermo, prima sedia, corona del Re, e Capo del Regno di Sicilia'', a work that was printed between 1649 and 1651.In the views of Inveges, who took up the theses of Giuseppe Sancetta, the Hauteville adopted the new coat of arms, abandoning the one with the two lions of the Duchy of Normandy.",
"The monarchs were to be endowed with a coat of arms \"''with two stripes'', or as Sancetta says: ''with two bends sinister'', chequy gules and argent on a azure field: as is seen in three very ancient wooden plaques hung in the Cathedral of Palermo above the Royal porphyry tombs of King Roger, and of the Empress Constance his daughter ...\".File:Coat of Arms of the House of Hauteville (according to Agostino Inveges).svg|Coat of arms of the House of Hauteville in its most widespread representationFile:Coat of Arms of the House of Hauteville (according to Giovanni Antonio Summonte).svg|Coat of arms of the House of Hauteville, according to the description provided by Giovanni Antonio SummonteLess clear, in Inveges' opinion, is the identification of the initiator of the adoption of the new coat of arms.",
"The Sicilian historian advances the hypothesis that the coat of arms was introduced at the time of Roger II, in conjunction with the coronation of 1129; when, without approval from Pope Honorius II, Roger wished to obtain publicly, from an assembly of notables, both lay and religious, from both Sicily and his continental states, the recognition of his sovereign authority.",
"To ground his position, Inveges resorts to complex heraldic reasoning:=== Analysis of the coat of arms ===Monreale Cathedral, side portal.",
"The coat of arms placed on the architrave is clearly evident.Summonte interprets and explains the Hauteville coat of arms by providing a meaning of the coat of arms in its entirety, understood as the result of the combination of the three tinctures that characterize it: the insignia of the dynasty, therefore, \"as composed of two principal colors, and of silver metal, signify nothing but an invincible spirit in acquiring supremacy.\"",
"In contrast, the analysis of the coat of arms presented by Inveges \"breaks down\" the coat of arms, examining, disjointly, the heraldic ordinary and its individual tinctures and the field.It seems obvious that his remarks cannot disregard the heraldic charge that characterizes the coat of arms, namely the stripe: the latter, writes the Sicilian historian, \"is an insignia of war, & ornament of a Soldier.\"",
"As reported by Marco Antonio Ginanni, an intellectual and heraldist, author of ''L'arte del blasone dichiarata per alfabeto'', \"the stripe represents the baldric, that is, the pendant of the Sword, and is a sign of military honors, and dignity.\"",
"In his ''Heraldic-Chivalric Encyclopedia'', the heraldist and genealogist Goffredo di Crollalanza endorses Ginanni's interpretation and, with an explicit reference to the figure of the \"ancient knights,\" points out that the stripe \"was by heraldry placed among the honorable ordinaries as a sign of military honors and dignities\" (adding, in a second line, that the stripe could also represent the scarf worn over the shoulder in military circles).",
"The reference to the Hauteville warriors' and ''condottieri'''s skills is not limited to the stripe as such, but extends to its being checkered.",
"Crollalanza reports that the chequy, one of the \"noblest and most ancient figures of the blazon,\" is closely connected to the game of chess and strategy: it represents, like the chessboard, the battlefield and, also, an army deployed in combat, which is why those who have demonstrated their valor in war, that is, their skills as military strategists, boast of it.",
"In Crollalanza's opinion, the introduction of the chequy in heraldry, more likely than other hypotheses, would have precisely a Gothic or Norman origin, since, reports the author of the ''Heraldic-Chivalric Encyclopedia'', it was the Normans who introduced the chequy flags in Normandy, England, Apulia and Sicily.Cathedral of Monreale, sarcophagus of William II.",
"On the short side is carved the coat of arms with the bend chequy.As for the tinctures, Inveges attributes very specific meanings to them.",
"First and foremost, the Sicilian historian associates, with silver, the wealth of the Kingdom.",
"Certainly, as a metal, silver constitutes, after gold, \"the most valuable hue of the blazon.\"",
"This tincture, however, as Crollalanza reports, symbolizes a plurality of concepts and virtues, such as: skill, clemency, faith, temperance, integrity, truth and purity; but it is also a symbol of dignity and nobility.",
"Red, on the other hand, Inveges continues, represents royal purple: it is no coincidence that this tincture is generally considered \"the noblest color of blazon.\"",
"As for its symbolism, red, in addition to referring to the idea of nobility, instinctively refers to blood and, more specifically, to the shedding of blood in battle.",
"Thus, concepts related to war and combat are associated with it, such as valor, daring, and dominance, but also the desire for revenge, cruelty, and anger.",
"Among the virtues attributable to red, on the other hand, are found fortitude, magnanimity and justice.",
"Coming to the blue of the field, finally, Inveges believes that it represents \"the toil of arms, and 'the ordeal of war.'\"",
"In French heraldry, azure \"is considered as the noblest and most valuable tincture, such as the one that appears on the escutcheon of the royal house, so much so that it is placed before gold itself, although it is not from metal.\"",
"The symbolism attached to this color is broad: the concepts of loyalty and fidelity are associated with it, while warriors, writes Crollalanza, \"wanted to express with it vigilance, fortitude, constancy, patriotism, victory and fame.",
"\"=== Variants ===It is possible to identify a number of alternative versions of the coat of arms of the House of Hauteville, which, while not evidently the result of misrepresentation or blazoning, are of uncertain attribution, nor do they allow a clear interpretation of the intervening variations.",
"It is worth mentioning, for example, a variant of the coat of arms which differs from the original insignia, presenting, in the bend chequy, not two, but three rows of tiles.File:Incorrect Coat of Arms of the House of Hauteville (Annali della felice citta di Palermo).jpg|thumb|upright=0.7|Arms with bend chequy, engraving taken from the ''Annali della felice città di Palermo, prima sedia, corona del Re, e Capo del Regno di Sicilia'' by Agostino Inveges.",
"In the text accompanying this image, the Sicilian historian points out, \"Hence it is the Sculptor's error in the figures of the King Roger, and of the other IV Norman Kings painted in the hist.",
"of Naples by Gio: Ant.",
"Summõte ...: where it is seen that the bend does not cut the shield from top to bottom and from right to left; but the Shield divides in the middle into two equal parts ....\"An example of misrepresentation, on the other hand, is found in the aforementioned ''Historia della città, e regno di Napoli by Summonte'', where at the base of the plates depicting Roger II and the other Norman rulers is reproduced a coat of arms that has a bend chequy, instead of the bend described by Summonte.",
"Inveges himself, although he explicitly points out the error present in those plates of the ''Historia'', when speculating that the coat of arms was adopted by Roger II, mentions a bend or strip.",
"Incidentally, the azure insignia to the bend chequy of gules and argent is linked to a hypothesis as suggestive as it lacks solid evidence: said thesis would have it that this was the coat of arms of the House of Drengot Quarrel, attributing the extreme similarity of it to the Hauteville insignia, arising from a series of marriage alliances, between the two families of Norman origin.An erroneous blazoning of the coat of arms, on the other hand, can be traced in Sancetta: in the description provided by the latter, mention is made not of a band (honorable ordinary which, in the shield, descends diagonally from right to left), but of a bend sinister (honorable ordinary which, in the shield, descends diagonally from left to right).File:Coat of Arms of the House of Hauteville (chequy).svg|Coat of Arms of the House of Hauteville (chequy)File:Incorrect Coat of Arms of the House of Hauteville (fess).svg|Incorrect version of the Coat of Arms of the House of Hauteville (fess instead of bend)File:Incorrect Coat of Arms of the House of Hauteville (bend sinister).svg|Incorrect version of the Coat of Arms of the House of Hauteville (bend sinister instead of bend)Within the range of alternative representations of the coat of arms, there would also fall a version of the coat of arms that features a reversal of colors, with the field becoming red, while the bend chequy is silver and azure.",
"Such an insignia is described by the French heraldist André Favyn, in ''Le théâtre d'honneur et de chevalerie'', a work that was printed in 1620.Favyn thus blazons \"''les Armes''\" of the Hauteville:specifying that these would be the \"''premieres Armes de Scicile'',\" thus, indirectly attributing to the Hauteville the primacy of having introduced heraldry to Sicily.",
"The same blazoning is also reported in the 1628 edition of the ''Histoire généalogique de la Maison de France'', by the French historians Scévole II de Sainte-Marthe and Louis de Sainte-Marthe: such an achievement is indicated, in the index of coats of arms attached to the first tome of the work, both as ''arme di Sicile ancien'', and as ''arme di Sicile-Hauteville''.",
"Finally, the insignia is illustrated by the mathematician and cartographer, also French, Oronce Finé, in the volume ''Giuoco d'armi dei sovrani e stati d'Europa'', a didactic game published in 1681.Coat of arms attributed to Robert Guiscard.",
"Reproduction taken from the ''Promptuaire armorial et general divisé en quatre parties'' of Jean Boisseau.Also in red is the field of the coat of arms attributed to Robert Guiscard in ''Promptuaire armorial et general divisé en quatre parties'', a seventeenth-century work by the French cartographer Jean Boisseau.",
"Compared to the insignia emblazoned by Favyn, this coat of arms associated with the ruler of the Duchy of Apulia and Calabria differs in one of the tinctures of the band, for while the metal remains silver, the color is black.Coat of arms with two bands attributed to the Hauteville family, extracted from the ''Großes Wappenbuch'' (1583-1700).Another unusual reconstruction of the coat of arms can be found in the ''Regum Neapolitanorum vitae et effigies'', a Latin-language volume that was printed in 1605: some of the plates accompanying the publication show a coat of arms attributed to the Hauteville as characterized, not by one, but by as many as two bends chequy.",
"Such a double-banded representation can also be found in the ''Großes Wappenbuch'', an armorial compiled from 1583 in southern Germany: on a red field, the two bends chequy, each of two rows, are of azure and silver.File:Coat of Arms of the House of Hauteville (according to André Favyn).svg|Coat of Arms of the House of Hauteville according to the description provided by André Favyn: this version has an inversion of colors, with the field becoming red, while the bend chequy is silver and azureFile:Attributed Coat of Arms of Robert Guiscard (according to Jean Boisseau).svg|Coat of arms attributed to Robert Guiscard by Jean Boisseau: this version of the coat of arms, which is very similar to the one described by Favyn, has, however, black in the bend chequy instead of blueFile:Coat of Arms of the House of Hauteville (two bends).svg|Coat of arms attributed to the House of Hauteville, characterized by the presence of two bendsStatue of William Iron Arm, first Count of Apulia, outside Coutances Cathedral.Finally, an interesting variant of the Hauteville insignia is reproduced inside the Holy Trinity Complex in Venosa.",
"The coat of arms is included in a pictorial decoration, datable to the 16th century, made on the top of the arcosolium of the ''Hauteville tomb'', a funerary ark, where William Iron Arm, Drogo of Hauteville, Humphrey of Hauteville and Robert Guiscard are buried.",

"Specifically, although there are several clues that would trace the insignia back to the first Sicilian ruler or his immediate successors, they cannot be verified with absolute certainty.",
"For example, tradition has it that at Castel dell'Ovo, which was the subject of significant fortification work during both the reign of Roger II and the reign of William I, the Normandy tower bore more of Roger II's coats of arms carved into it, as well as being adorned with his banners.",
"Of said coats of arms, however, there is no longer a trace, as the tower was largely destroyed in the 15th century.",
"Another example is given by the Cathedral of Conversano, in which there are several examples of the coat of arms, which, however, it is not possible to date accurately, although they are dated to the second half of the 12th century.",
"Similar considerations, again, can be made for \"the mosaic representations of the banded coat of arms\" placed both inside and outside the cathedral of Monreale, since \"they are believed to be of later date than the other famous mosaics.",
"\"Even more categorical is the position held by Luigi and Scipione Ammirato, who rule out that the Hauteville adopted their own blazon for the Sicilian realm and assert that the first coats of arms used for the Kingdom of Sicily and the later Kingdom of Naples were those introduced by Charles I of Anjou.",
"Similarly, the French Jesuit and heraldist Claude-François Ménestrier, writing that \"one would not know how to produce any other document of the bend chequy given to the Norman Kings of the blood of Tancred ...,\" argues that, in the Kingdom of Naples, there would be no coat of arms older than those from the House of Anjou-Sicily.",
"Finally, some authors, in order to strengthen the thesis of the attributed coat of arms, note how this coat of arms, that is, the coat of arms of the founding ruling House of the Sicilian monarchy, was not taken up and framed in their own coats of arms by later dynasties and, in particular, by the House of Hohenstaufen and the House of Barcelona."

"The Lion of Hauteville",
"Different sources, as well as some material evidence from the period, document that the heraldic figure of the lion, derived from the House of Normandy, was also used by the House of Hauteville, both for the Duchy of Apulia and Calabria, where several dukes included it in their coats of arms, and for the County of Sicily.",
"Pietro Giannone, a Neapolitan jurist and historian, and Augustine Inveges, argue for the existence of a common lineage between the two houses: from the dukes of Normandy, writes Inveges, \"descend, according to the most probable opinion of the Historians, the Counts, the Dukes, & the Norman Kings of Sicily ...\".Coronation of Guiscard, from ''Nova Cronica''.Specifically, it is interesting to note how the lion - which by definition is rampant - can be associated, reproduced, though, with different tinctures, with two extremely relevant figures in the history of the dynasty: Robert Guiscard and his younger brother Roger, the first count of Sicily.",
"A shield with a red lion on a gold field, in fact, appears in a miniature of the Nova Cronica, which depicts the coronation of Guiscard, proclaimed duke by Pope Nicholas II, in 1059, during the first council of Melfi.",
"The medievalist historian Glauco Maria Cantarella, however, reports that Count Roger's coat of arms wasFile:Coat of Arms of Robert Guiscard.svg|Coat of arms of Robert Guiscard, from a miniature of the ''Nova Cronica''File:Coat of Arms of Roger I of Sicily.svg|Coat of arms of Roger I of Sicily, according to medievalist historian Glauco Maria CantarellaIn heraldry, the symbolism associated with the figure of the lion is vast, as is the spread of the figure itself, and various authors attribute multiple meanings and interpretations to this animal and its use.",
"In his ''Tesserae gentilitiae'', Silvestro Pietrasanta, a Jesuit and heraldist, explains that the lion, as a beast that goes hunting, represents nothing more than a captain moving to war.",
"For French heraldist Claude-François Ménestrier, on the other hand, the different tinctures that characterize the lions inserted in the coats of arms of knights would symbolize overseas travel.",
"In particular, Crollalanza, dwelling on the pairs of tinctures that distinguish field and figure, reports that the lion, \"when it is red on a gold background, is a sign of a warrior who is entirely focused in execution, and full of fidelity in his deeds ...,\" while \"the black lion on a gold background denotes fortitude in a great soul ....\" The author of the ''Heraldic Chivalric Encyclopedia'', however, does not fail to point out that such symbolism based on color combinations is entirely arbitrary \"and owes itself only to the pen of certain heraldists.",
"\"Roger II (miniature from the ''Liber ad honorem Augusti'').The heraldic figure of the lion can be traced not only to brothers Robert and Roger I, but also to Roger II.",
"The latter, before becoming king, would have used, as did his father, his predecessor, a coat of arms bearing a rampant lion.",
"The escutcheon, of which it is not possible to deduce the tinctures, can be seen in a miniature contained in Peter of Eboli's ''Liber ad honorem Augusti'', which depicts the Norman, riding a horse launched at a gallop, while, with his right hand, he holds a flagstaff.The Mantle of Roger II, along with the other imperial insignia is kept at the Hofburg in Vienna, Austria.Of the material evidence mentioned above, the most famous of them, the Mantle of Roger II, testifies that even after he assumed the title of king, the ancient symbol of the lion by no means fell into disuse.",
"On the mantle of Roger II, which later became part of the so-called Insignia of the Holy Roman Empire, two lions (symbol of the Normans) appear, towering above two camels (symbol of the Saracens).",
"The lions depicted in the exquisite coat of arms made by the ''Nobiles Officinae'' of Palermo, however, appear different from the coat of arms previously used by the father of the first Sicilian king, Count Roger I: while the latter's coat of arms, as mentioned above, was gold with the lion in black, in his son's coat, gold remains, but there is also purple, a typical imperial color.Bohemond I of Antioch, son of Guiscard, may also have used this heraldic animal for his own insignia: some sources from the 13th century, as well as some artistic artifacts from the same period, would attest that, among the coats of arms that would have been adopted by the Principality of Antioch, it would be possible to count a silver coat of arms with a lion or leopard in red.",
"Specifically, one of the various hypotheses formulated regarding the origin of said insignia would trace it back precisely to Bohemond, founder of the Crusader State.Agostino Inveges, on the other hand, makes no mention of the lion, but, as noted above, argues that, before the introduction of the coat of arms with the bend chequy, the Hauteville family also bore, as their own coat of arms, the crest of Normandy, that is, two leopards - beasts that by definition are passant - in gold, armed and langued in azure, placed in a pole on a red field; an insignia, which to this day denotes the French region.Both Ginanni and Crollalanza agree in asserting that the coat of arms of England is the result of the union of the Norman and Guienne insignia, which consists of a single leopard in gold on a red field.",
"Such a coat of arms on which stands a single leopard, however, could also be ascribed, as Angelo Scordo reports, to the Hauteville themselves.File:Arms of Eleanor of Aquitaine.svg|Coat of arms of Aquitaine or GuyenneFile:Arms of William the Conqueror (1066-1087).svg|Arms of NormandyFile:Royal Arms of England.svg|Coat of arms of England"

"Other attributed coats of arms",
"The list of coats of arms attributed to the sovereigns of Apulia and Sicily does not end with the ones examined so far.",
"Associated with the House of Hauteville and, in particular, with the figure of William the Good is another insignia, representations of which, alongside the better-known checkered coat of arms, can be observed at the Cathedral of Monreale, at the Church of Santa Maria la Nova in Palermo and in the work of the Sicilian archbishop, theologian and jurist Francesco Maria Testa, the ''De vita, et rebus gestis Guilelmi II.",
"Siciliae regis, Monregalensis ecclesiae fundatoris'': this coat of arms isMonreale Cathedral, royal throne.",
"In the mosaic above the throne one notices, at a larger scale, two coats of arms with the bend chequy and, at a smaller scale, two coats of arms with the octagonal star.File:Azure, an eight-pointed mullet Or.svg|Azure, an eight-pointed mullet Or, associated with William the GoodIn the Monreale cathedral, built precisely at the behest of King William, the said coat of arms appears reproduced in two specimens, which are part of a mosaic above the royal throne.",
"In Testa's ''De vita, et rebus gestis Guilelmi II'', also printed in Monreale, in 1769, a first engraving, which forms the volume's frontispiece, features a sculptural group, in which a portrait of the sovereign appears, below which is the octagonal star; while a second engraving, printed in the frontispiece, reproduces a coat of arms, set in an elaborate crowned frame, supported by three putti, two of which are winged, which is separated, first, from the band of two checkered rows, and, secondly, from the octagonal star.",
"The double reference to the city of Monreale makes it superfluous to point out that the civic coat of arms of Monreale is precisely composed of a gold octagonal star on a blue field.The question of the multiple attributions of insignia to the Siculo-Norman dynasty and the discordant positions taken by the various authors who have dealt with the Hauteville coat of arms is addressed by the Norman genealogist and heraldist Gilles-André de la Rocque.",
"In particular, in addition to the coat of arms with the bend chequy (in the red variant with silver and azure tiles, i.e., the coat of arms emblazoned by Favyn, which, in this regard, de la Rocque cites as a reference), the Norman author notes no less than four other insignia that different sources attribute \"''à la Maison d'Hauteville ou de Sicile-Antioche''.",
"\"Imaginary portrait of Bohemond I (Merry-Joseph Blondel, 1843, oil on canvas).The first of these is a silver coat of arms, at the branch of a fern in green, bound in gold, which the heraldist, citing as his source the de Sainte-Marthe brothers, attributes to the dynasty which, not coincidentally, he defines as being of \"Sicily-Antiochia.\"",

"Other heraldic symbols",
"Sarcophagus of Roger I, now in the Archaeological Museum of Naples.Within the broad iconographic production of the period, connected to the sovereigns of the House of Hauteville, there are several recurring elements to which it is possible to attribute a certain heraldic significance.",
"Even before the establishment of the Kingdom, both for the continental territories and, later, for Sicily, the cross pattée alisée was employed as an emblem of administrative authority, emphasizing the Christianity of the state and the ruling dynasty.There are several examples of the use of the cross pattée, one of them being the sarcophagus, dating from the 3rd century, which, later, was used for the burial of Roger I.",
"On the side gables of the lid, where heads of Gorgons originally appeared, crosses pattées were carved.Other symbols regularly found in pictorial and sculptural representations that can be traced back to the royal dynasty, but which probably find their origins in past dominations of Sicily, include the palm tree, griffin, and eagle.Precisely to this last figure, some fascinating speculations would be connected, which would have it that the eagle was much more than a simple iconographic element and that would have it risen to royal arms as early as the House of Hauteville.Tancred (miniature from the ''Liber ad honorem Augusti'').Sancetta, in this regard, supports the thesis that the effigy of the eagle, intended as a symbol capable of representing Sicily, would find its origin in the Byzantine age.",
"For the Sicilian historian, the ''strategoi'' of Syracuse would have assumed, for themselves and for Sicily, an insignia of silver with an eagle in black, crowned in gold.",
"Later, this coat of arms would be readapted and taken up by Roger I and his successors.Inveges, similarly, reiterates that \"the Black Eagle is a very ancient Coat of Arms of the Kingdom of Sicily\" (although he is unable to report which sovereign introduced it), but he believes that the field of the coat of arms was golden.",
"Evidence that the eagle was used by the Hauteville family would be found, Inveges reports, in a coin reproduced in the work of Sicilian numismatist Filippo Paruta, ''Della Sicilia descritta con medaglie'': the coin, struck during the reign of Roger II, shows an eagle in lowered flight, facing the heraldic right.According to another hypothesis, to Tancred of Sicily, nephew of Roger II and king of Sicily from 1189 to 1194, a golden eagle, visible on a standard and on Tancred's helmet in some miniatures of the ''Liber ad honorem Augusti'' by Peter of Eboli, could be traced as a coat of arms.Theories of an origin of the lowered-flying eagle coat of arms traceable to a period earlier than the rise of the House of Hohenstaufen to the throne of Sicily generate perplexity in the heraldist Angelo Scordo, according to whom, although the use of eagles as Sicilian symbols in the centuries preceding the advent of the Staufen is not to be ruled out, hypothesizing a relationship of direct derivation between these already existing symbols and the Staufian coat of arms comes across as an exercise lacking any concrete foundation."

"Motto",
"Roger I at the Battle of Cerami.To the blazons, the Hauteville family also had mottoes accompanying them.",
"The most famous and in use among them was of biblical derivation, taken from Psalm 118:Seal of Roger II.The first to use it was the devout Roger I, after the victorious battle of Cerami in 1063.From that time, precisely because of his military success, he had it engraved on his shields and carried on his own banners.The same motto was later adopted by Roger II, probably starting in 1136, in Latin documents.",
"In a table accompanying the ''Dissertazioni sopra le antichità italiane'' by the presbyter and historian Ludovico Antonio Muratori, it is possible to observe a reproduction of Roger II's ''signum'', which bears, in the legend circumscribing it, precisely the motto in question.Finally, the stability of this formula is confirmed by the use made of it by Roger II's successor, his son William I, who had it engraved on the royal seal with which the Treaty of Benevento of 1156 was sealed.To this biblically derived motto, Roger II added a more purely political one, engraved on his own sword and, according to some sources, also on his own shield:In particular, Summonte reports that the motto was adopted by Roger II when the ruler managed to extend his rule over several territories in the North African coastal area: \"... & at the time he had that verse carved into his sword for glory .... And he used it as an achievement ....\" The Neapolitan historian, therefore, in addition to attesting to the use of a coat of arms charged with the said motto, which he calls ''Roger's military achievement'', reports as sources supporting his assertions the fifteenth-century historians Marcus Antonius Sabellicus and Pandolfo Collenuccio.Similarly, de la Roque also reports that the motto in question was introduced by Roger II to exalt the expansion of his authority in the Mediterranean and, at the same time, does not fail to point out that the ruler had those words engraved on his own shield.",
"Going into even more detail, the Norman heraldist points out that it is possible to infer that, outside of the motto itself, no other figure was represented on that coat of arms; this, however, de la Roque again specifies, does not exclude the use of emblems on other shields, by the Sicilian sovereign."

[
"Biography",
"The son of Sterling Lanier and Sarah V. Lanier (née Fullwood), he was born near to Athens, Georgia, September 22, 1819.Sterling, originally of Virginia, was a businessman in Macon who in 1855 moved to the LaFarge Hotel in New York before losing in a fire of uninsured property that he owned.Robert himself was educated in Georgia and later in Randolph Macon College.He studied to be a lawyer in Macon, briefly interrupting that study to get married to Mary J. Anderson, later passing the bar and setting up the firm of Lanier & Clopton with David Clopton, who was later a justice on the Supreme Court of Alabama.His later law practice was the firm of Lanier & Anderson a partnership with Clifford Anderson of over three decades.Clopton had been his college roommate from 1838 to 1840, and his marriage to Mary on 1840-10-27 in the Little Presbyterian Church of Crewe, Virginia was a double ceremony with another of his college roommates, Clopton's cousin Burwell Kendrick Harrison of Macon, marrying Mary's aunt (only 2 years older than Mary herself) Elizabeth Woodson Robertson.Lanier corresponded with Anderson during the Civil War when the latter was serving with the Confederate States Army in Virginia.Anderson was a member of the Floyd Rifles and Lanier was an honorary member of the Macon Volunteers.Lanier's letter of June 1861, since collected in the papers of Anderson, exemplifies how the fighting had yet to affect Macon and the sense of security and normality felt by the citizens there at the time.By that time Lanier owned Lanier House, his father's hotel in Macon.In the letter he related the recovery of one of his servants, Mary, from an illness allowing her to go and work in the hotel; his difficulty in selling Georgia Ann, one of the people he had enslaved, and that Dave, another, was working in the country; and news of typhoid and scarlet fever outbreaks.He also related his views on President Lincoln and instructed Anderson to avoid eating fried meat because \"it will breed disease\".After his capture of Macon four years later, James H. Wilson used the Lanier House Hotel as his personal residence.He had three children by his wife Mary before she died on May 22, 1865: Sidney (1842-1881), Clifford (1844-1908), and Gertrude (1846-1889).His second wife was Anna Morgan of South Carolina, whom he married in 1870.Robert Lanier died in 1893, and was praised, in an obituary in the ''Report of Proceedings of the Annual Session of the Georgia Bar Association'', for his legal knowledge, his devotion to his clients, and his \"catholic\" spirit; the writer compared him to \"Chevalier Bayard\"."

"Otto II's raid on Poland"
],
[
"Introduction",
"'''Otto II's raid on Poland''' was a military expedition against ''Civitas Schinesghe'' the state of Mieszko I after Mieszko I supported the rebellious prince Henry the Quarrelsome during the civil war in Germany following the death of Emperor Otto I the Great.",
"The invasion ended in defeat for the Holy Roman Empire, as Otto II could not achieve any military success which forced him to return to Germany."
],
[
"Background",
"The initial ruler of the Piast state, Mieszko I, historically regarded as a loyal ally and even a friend of Emperor Otto I the Great, saw a sudden rift in relations in 972.This rupture occurred when Margrave Odo, an administrator of the German frontier, independently invaded Piast territories.In response, Mieszko engaged Odo's forces at the Battle of Cedynia in 972 and emerged victorious.",
"Despite its minor scale, the clash caught the attention of the emperor.",
"Mieszko faced condemnation for spilling the blood of German knights, prompting Otto I to demand a punitive measure.",
"He ordered Mieszko's six-year-old son and heir, Bolesław, to be sent to the imperial court as a hostage.Mieszko I's warriors'''', the state of Mieszko IThough Mieszko complied initially, Bolesław's stay in Germany was brief.",
"Upon the emperor's death in 973, Mieszko seized the opportunity to secure his release, leveraging chaos in Germany.",
"Subsequently, Mieszko became entangled in a German civil war, supporting a rebellious duke against the rightful heir, Otto II.Following the quashing of the rebellion, Otto II sought to assert his authority.",
"He imprisoned Henry of Bavaria, the rebellion's leader, and initiated punitive measures against his allies.",
"Additionally, Otto II launched military campaigns against the Bohemians, who had supported the rebellion.In the midst of these events, Mieszko's Christian wife, Dobrawa, passed away in 977, severing ties between the Piasts and the Bohemians.",
"This allowed Mieszko to pursue alliances with German nobles, aiming to reconcile with the emperor.Meanwhile, King Lothair of France unexpectedly allied with the Piasts, further complicating Otto II's situation.",
"Lothair's invasion of Aachen, a significant fortress, diverted German attention from Mieszko's actions."
],
[
"Raid",
"As Otto II prepared to march east in 979, Mieszko fortified his positions in Greater Poland, notably strengthening the fortress of Poznań.",
"The subsequent conflict between Otto II and Mieszko remains shrouded in mystery, but it set the stage for future confrontations between the German and Polish rulers.",
"Ultimately, faced with logistical challenges and diminishing morale, Otto II retreated from Greater Poland without achieving decisive victory.",
"The conflict forced Otto II to recognize Mieszko's strengthened position and seek a peace agreement, albeit indirectly and without admitting defeat.Otto II, Holy Roman Emperor"
],
[
"Aftermath",
"The Polish-German agreement was concluded in the spring or possibly summer of 980, because in November of that year Otto II left his country and went to Italy.",
"It appears that during this time Mieszko I married Oda, daughter of Dietrich of Haldensleben, Margrave of the Northern March, after abducting her from the monastery of Kalbe.",
"Chronicler Thietmar described the event as follows:Although Thietmar made no mention of warfare that possibly took place on this occasion, the information on the return of the accord, acting for the good of the country and release of prisoners indicate that a conflict actually did occur.Visualization of Poznań at the end of the 10th century"
],
[
"Archeology",
"Archaeological discoveries appear to support the thesis of Otto II's invasion.",
"In the last quarter of the 10th century there had been a radical expansion of the fortifications at Gniezno and Ostrów Lednicki, which may be associated with the Polish-German war, or the expectation of such.",
"The duration of the expedition suggests that it may have reached as far east as the vicinity of Poznań."

"Amoeboflagellate"
],
[
"Introduction",
"The heterolobosean ''Naegleria fowleri'' can behave as an amoeba (center) or as a flagellate (right).An '''amoeboflagellate''' ( '''amoeboflagellates''') is any eukaryotic organism capable of behaving as an amoeba and as a flagellate at some point during their life cycle.",
"Amoeboflagellates present both pseudopodia and at least one flagellum, often simultaneously."
],
[
"Occurrence",
"The amoeboflagellate cell type has been acquired numerous independent times across the evolution of protists (i.e.",
"primarily unicellular eukaryotes that are not plants, fungi or animals).",
"Some examples of protist phyla with amoeboflagellate body types are:* Cercozoa contains various examples of amoeboflagellates with filose pseudopods, thread-like cell projections also known as filopodia.",
"The cercomonads, glissomonads and paracercomonads behave as amoeboflagellates with two flagella throughout the majority of their life cycle, and are essential predators of the soil microbiome.",
"Among the more basal Cercozoa is ''Reticulamoeba'', an amoeboflagellate with reticulose pseudopods (reticulopodia), filopodia that join into a net-like structure.",
"* Amoebozoa contains several groups of amoeboflagellates with one or two flagella and lobose pseudopods, which are rounder and more blunt-ended than filopodia.",
"Among them are the myxogastrids, a group of slime molds that behave as amoeboflagellates in various stages of their life cycle.",
"Many species of Archamoebae, a more basal group, are anaerobic amoeboflagellates.",
"Other examples are the dictyostelians, another group of slime molds, and the closely related varioseans, such as ''Phalansterium''.",
"* Breviatea, a small class related to animals, fungi and amoebozoans, is composed of anaerobic amoeboflagellates with two flagella.",
"* Percolozoa contains amoeboflagellates with lobose pseudopods, but are differentiated by their flat mitochondrial cristae, not tubular as in Amoebozoa.",
"A popular example is the world-wide distributed pathogen ''Naegleria fowleri'', which can change shape between an amoeba and a flagellate.The choanoflagellate ''Salpingoeca rosetta'' can switch between a swimming (flagellate) stage and a crawling (amoeboid) stage when subjected to a confined space.The amoeboflagellate phenotype is present in numerous protists that have a crucial phylogenetic position near the origin of animals and fungi, within the vast clade known as Opisthokonta.",
"It has been described in choanoflagellates such as ''Salpingoeca'', filastereans such as ''Pigoraptor'', and even some early-branching fungi such as ''Sanchytrium'', but it is absent in animals.",
"The two species of Pluriformea have a wide range of cell types, from cellular aggregations to amoeboflagellates."

"Foin de Crau"

[
"Introduction",
"'''Foin de Crau''' or '''Crau hay''' is a French hay produced on the Crau plain in the Bouches-du-Rhône department, which has been awarded an AOC since 1997 and an PDO since 2015.It's the first ''appellation d'origine'' for an agricultural product not intended for human consumption, and the only one in 2020.The bales, which can be identified by a red and white string, are available in a wide range of sizes, from small bundles (around 1kg) for domestic rodents to very large bundles (around 500kg) for large ruminant farms."
],
[
"Geographical zone",
"leftOf the 52,000 ha of Crau, 12,000 ha are fertile meadows, thanks in part to irrigation.9,000 hectares are covered by the AOC label."
],
[
"History",
"The first irrigation canal in the Crau was built in the 16th century by Adam de Craponne.",
"Water from the Durance was thus drawn off and channeled to this plain, first to Salon-de-Provence, via Saint-Martin-de-Crau and then to Arles.=== Contemporary period ===A geographical area was defined by the breeders in 1941.A trademark was registered in 1948, and the AOC was obtained in 1997.=== Production ===Three successive cuts are made, spaced forty to seventy days apart.",
"Their composition varies according to the cut.",
"During autumn and winter, the meadows are grazed by sheep after their transhumance.New meadows are created from alfalfa or a mixture of grasses and legumes, in a field that has been leveled and de-stoned.",
"Irrigation water then allows other plants to appear spontaneously and naturally so that in just a few years they reach the equilibrium stage of natural meadows permanently.",
"Manuring is essentially phospho-potassium.Gravity watering is carried out by submersion: the meadow is flooded, but the water must not remain.",
"It generally begins around March 15.Watering will follow one another on the same plot for a period of eight to ten days until the first heavy rains of autumn (September or October).",
"They may be interrupted depending on rainfall or hay harvesting operations.Hay is stored in bags or bales, tied with red and white string.Hay meadow in the Crau.=== Irrigation ===Current irrigation practices are essentially gravity-fed.",
"Grassland plots are bordered upstream by filioles (connected to the secondary network), which are made to overflow by clogging them with hammers.",
"Submergence is progressive and lasts several hours.",
"The volume of water supplied is in the region of 15,000 to 20,000 m³/ha/year.",
"At the bottom of the land lot, there may be a drainage ditch to collect runoff water.The main irrigators are Crau hay farmers, most often grouped into syndicated associations (ASA or ASL).",
"Irrigation by submersion brings fertile silt to the meadows and also feeds the water table: 70% of the water in the water table comes from gravity-feed irrigation."
],
[
"Composition",
"Crau hay is composed of 30 to 50% grass (including fromental and orchardgrass), 25 to 35% legumes (including red clover and creeping clover), and 25 to 35% various grasses.",
"Its floristic composition corresponds to a precise specification, established by Decree n°2015-1226, October 2, 2015, and by the Official Journal of the European Union dated January 31, 2017 of Implementing Regulation (EU) n°2017/15."

[
"Nutritional properties",
"It has a high protein and mineral content, particularly calcium."
],
[
"Natura 2000",
"Van Gogh, 1888.Grasslands contribute to the overall balance of the Crau plain.",
"To ensure their sustainability, it is therefore necessary to preserve this type of cultivation.",
"That's why the committee has come out in favor of the Natura 2000 bill, which makes them part of a protected site in accordance with European directives for the protection of nature and flora.",
"They are now involved in discussions and are key players in the drafting of regulations."

"Chicken on Crau hay.In 1986, Alain Passard bought the three-star restaurant from his former mentor Alain Senderens, and renamed it .",
"It was there that he began, that same year, to develop a hay chicken.",
"Since then, he has been joined in this innovative approach by David Toutain (foie gras and eel brioches, smoked on hay), Marc Veyrat (hay glacé), Emmanuel Renaut (pigeon cooked on hay and juniper), Cyril Lignac (''Lozère'' lamb with caramelized skin and Crau hay), and many others.",
"This hay-based cuisine, sought after by chefs, gives dishes prepared in this way a smoky, vegetal flavor."

"Death of Ian Morton"
],
[
"Introduction",
"Ian James Morton (died 26 October 2008), was a Detective Constable with Dorset Police, who died when the Skoda Fabia he was driving crashed into a house in Highcliffe, Dorset on the corner of the A337 Lymington Road and Curzon Way.During the investigation into his death, Sergeant Neil Slater discovered that Morton had been having an affair, unbeknownst to his wife.",
"In an attempt to protect Morton's family from further distress, he requested a junior officer to destroy a mobile phone that had been located in Morton's vehicle.",
"As a result, Slater faced a misconduct process, where he was ordered to resign.",
"Regarding the decision, Salter's case went to the High Court and the Court of Appeal, with the Court of Appeal judgement being quoted in other misconduct hearings and at employment tribunals, notably in cases of where an officer raises personal mitigation in misconduct cases of operational dishonesty."
],
[
"Early life",
"Morton grew up on the Isle of Wight, Hampshire, in the Sandown and Shanklin area.",
"As a teenager, he played football for Lake and Newchurch and was a member of the Sea Scouts.Morton attended the La Sante Union College in Southampton, Hampshire, where he graduated in 1998 with an honours degree."
],

],
[
"Death",
"=== Accident ===On the night of Saturday 25 October 2008, Morton had been staying on the Isle of Wight, Hampshire with a Special Constable from another force.",
"Morton was tired from having worked a 10-hour shift on the previous Wednesday, followed by a 15-hour shift on Thursday, before two eight-and-a-half hour shifts on Friday and Saturday.On the morning of Sunday 26 October 2008, Morton caught the 04:40 GMT ferry from Yarmouth on the island, to Lymington, in order to travel to a 05:30 GMT police briefing at Bournemouth police station, in relation to an armed police operation.A337 Lymington Road, Highcliffe-on-Sea, near to where the accident happenedIt was heavily raining that morning and whilst on the A337 Lymington Road, Highcliffe, Morton made a phone call to his supervisor, Detective Sergeant Wayne Seymour, having realised he was running late.",
"A man who was on the road at the time, Vincenzo Capezzuto, spotted Morton's Skoda Fabia speeding along the road and concerned at the speed he was travelling, he motioned for Morton to slow down.Around a minute after the phone call was made, at approximately 05:40 GMT, Morton crashed into a bungalow on the corner of Lymington Road and Curzon Way.",
"Morton died at the scene from multiple injuries, including serious head and other injuries.The area of the address that Morton crashed into was the bedroom of 80-year-old Peter Tanswell's, with the crash shifting his bed four feet across the room, causing a wardrobe door to fly over Tanswell.",
"Tanswell was fast asleep when the accident happened, waking up to 'two prolonged bangs' and initially thinking a shelf had fallen down, but saw smoke and what appeared to be a car.",
"In a state of shock, Tanswell called 999.Tanswell suffered minor scratches to his feet and was treated for shock at the scene.",
"The house was caused structural damage, requiring Tanswell to temporarily move out of the address, where every room in the house had to be rebuilt.=== Investigation ===Sergeant Ian Slater was appointed as the Deputy Senior Investigating Officer into the accident, with PC Scott Mesher of Dorset Police's Roads Policing Unit being appointed as the Family Liaison Officer and PC Clifton Beard as the accident investigator.Beard determined that Morton's vehicle had mounted the kerb after failing to negotiate two new traffic islands.",
"From the witness account of Capezzuto, it was determined that Morton had been driving more than 70 mph (112kph), with the road having a 40 mph (64kph) limit.Dorset Coroner Sherriff Payne concluded that Morton had died as result of the accident, stating: \"There is a nagging feeling that he may have been using his phone near the time he lost control.",
"He was the author of his own misfortune.",
"\"=== Affair discovered and Slater misconducts himself ===Slater became aware that Morton, who was married, had been having an affair with a Special Constable in another police force that he had spent the evening before his death with her, whilst his wife was on a night shift in her job as a carer.",
"Morton's wife was unaware that her husband was having an affair.Within Morton's vehicle, police discovered two mobile phones.",
"Slater discovered that one of the mobile phones had text messages that would uncover the affair.",
"On 27 October, Slater met with Mesher and instructed him to attend the yard that Morton's vehicle had been recovered to, locate the mobile phone and destroy it.Mesher instead decided to raise Slater's request for him to destroy evidence with senior colleagues, with the matter being reported to the Professional Standards Department.",
"As a result, on 6 November, Salter was arrested and interviewed under caution, where he admitted having told Mesher to 'destroy the phone', however stated he was 'thinking out loud'.",
"Slater stated that he was aware the Coroner would require all the evidence to be provided, but he wanted to protect Morton's family, who could have discovered about the affair.",
"Slater had previously accepted responsibility on 27 October, admitting to colleagues that his decision the phone should be destroyed was his alone, that he knew it was wrong and a bad decision and that Mesher had been right to speak about it.=== Misconduct process ======= Misconduct hearing ====On 27 August 2009, faced a misconduct hearing, in front of an Assistant Chief Constable and two Superintendents from Dorset Police, where the allegation against him was:Slater admitted to a misconduct panel what he had done, stating he hadn't behaved with honesty or integrity.Mesher provided a statement that he believed Salter's 'misguided loyalty towards the family of PC Morton' was the reason for why Salter had asked him to destroy the mobile phone and that it was made to 'protect them from further upset'.Other officers confirmed that on 27 October, Salter had apologies for what he had done and said Mesher was correct to raise concerns to other officers.Counsel representing Salter contested that rather than Salter being dismissed or required to resign, that the sanction of reduction in rank, from Sergeant to Police Constable, should be chose.The panel considered their decision for 2½ hours before they concluded he should be required to resign from the force (it was reported that Salter had been 'allowed the dignity of resignation rather than being dismissed' due to an 'unblemished 22-year record of police service').",
"Their reasoning was that:Salter applied for the decision to be reviewed by the Chief Constable, Martin Baker, with an oral hearing being held on 11 November.",
"However, on 16 November, Baker outlined that agreed with the decision, expressing his conclusions:Although Baker noted the evidence he had didn't show an apology from Slater, it is accepted that preparation of a statement of an apology had been undertaken at the time when the Chief Constable had stated he'd not received an apology, with the apology not communicated by 'reason of oversight'.==== Police Appeals Tribunal ====The Police Appeals Tribunals Rules 1999 outline that an appeal tribunal can 'hear appeals against the findings of internal disciplinary proceedings brought against members of the police force.",
"'On 9 July 2010, the decision that Salter should have been dismissed was overruled and it was decided that instead, Slater should be reinstated to Dorset Police, albeit in the rank of Police Constable, noting that his actions were 'to avoid further grief to DC Morton's family'.",
"The panel noted that his behaviour during the investigation was a 'one-off aberration':High Court of Justice, London==== High Court judicial review - 2011 EWHC 3366 (Admin) ====In 2011, Dorset Police attempted for the decision to be judicially reviewed at the High Court, reported as ''2011 EWHC 3366 (Admin).''",
"John Beggs QC, who was acting for the Chief Constable, argued how Salter had attempted to 'suborn a junior officer' in what was a 'deliberate and premeditated attempt to destroy evidence' in what was a criminal investigation and how 'operational dishonesty, from a supervising officer of many years standing' couldn't be tolerated within policing, where the values of honesty and integrity have 'paramount importance'.",
"Beggs stated that to allow Salter back to policing could damage the 'trust and confidence' the public had in the police.On 14 December 2011 Mr Justice Burnett ruled that the tribunal had 'applied the wrong legal test and given too much weight to Salter's unblemished career and exceptional character'.",
"Mir Justice Burnett quashed the tribunal's decision, ordering that Salter should not have been reinstated, but allowed Slater leave to appeal the decision at the Court of Appeal.Within his judgement, Mr Justice Burnett applied the language of Sir Thomas Bingham MR who said in Bolton v Law Society 1994:“''Any solicitor who is shown to have discharged his professional duties with anything less than complete integrity, probity and trustworthiness must expect severe sanctions to be imposed upon him by the Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal… the most serious (type of case) involves proven dishonesty… in such cases the Tribunal has almost invariably, no matter how strong the mitigation advanced for the solicitor, ordered that he be struck off the Rolls of Solicitors.”''Burnett J found no reason why such principles should not apply with equal force to the police service.",
"Thus he concluded that:''“The reasons which underpin the strict approach applied to solicitors and barristers apply with equal force to police officers.",
"Honesty and integrity in the conduct of police officers in any investigation are fundamental to the proper workings of the criminal justice system.",
"…the public should be able unquestionably to accept the honesty and integrity of a police officer.",
"The damage done by a lack of integrity in connection with the investigation of an alleged offence may be enormous.",
"The guilty may go free.",
"The innocent may be convicted.",
"Large sums of public money may be wasted.",
"Public confidence in the integrity of the criminal justice system may be undermined.",
"The conduct of a few may have a corrosive effect on the reputation of the police service in general.”''The reason for such high standards was ''“…to maintain public confidence in the police service and maintain its collective reputation”.",
"''''2011 EWHC 3366 (Admin)'' is the first successful challenge to a Police Appeal Tribunal's decision.The Court of Appeal (England and Wales) is within the same building as the High Court==== Court of Appeal review - ''Salter v Chief Constable of Dorset'' 2012 EWCA Civ 1047 ====In 2012, at the Court of Appeal, Salter appealed to challenge the High Court's decision, on five grounds (later these grounds were assessed to have some overlap, and could be summarised with three grounds).",
"These were that:* What Justice Burnett described as \"the correct approach for a decision-maker\" in paragraph 30 of his judgment was too prescriptive;* The judge was wrong to \"read across\" from the authorities on solicitors' disciplinary proceedings; and* The decision of the PAT (Police Appeals Tribunal) was not \"clearly inappropriate\" or \"irrational\".However, three senior Lord Justices, Lord Justice Kay, Burnton and Gross rejected his appeal.On the first ground of appeal, the Court of Appeal found that the tribunal acted in a 'consistent manner and not arbitrarily'.",
"On the second ground of appeal, they found that the judge had 'not been ignorant of the differences between the positions of police officers and solicitors', having 'simply drawn on the authorities in relation to solicitors by way of analogy', with the analogy being justified through 'the similarities between solicitors and police officers in relation to the need for public confidence'.",
"On the final ground of appeal, the tribunal had 'exceeded the limits that were reasonably open to it' and 'notwithstanding the factors that mitigated the offence, including that it had not been planned' and that Salter's motives were 'unselfish and well-intentioned', that 'it still remained a very serious offence'.",
"They noted 'limited' personal mitigation due to the 'importance of public confidence'They noted as well how 'operational integrity of the police is of fundamental importance'."
],
[
"Effect of ''Salter v Chief Constable of Dorset'' [2012] EWCA Civ 1047 on future proceedings",
"''Salter v Chief Constable of Dorset'' 2012 EWCA Civ 1047 built on previous cases and principles that involved misconduct and personal mitigation, especially when considering this alongside the misconduct of operational dishonesty.This was outlined where the judgement stated:The Court of Appeal case provided a 'powerful judgement', regarding police misconduct, with one report stating that the case could act as a reminder to police officers and staff how 'dishonesty or lack of integrity in the course of operational duties is professional suicide'.=== How misconduct or tribunal proceedings should approach operational dishonesty ===The decision provides guidance as to how tribunal's should determine the sanctions in cases of operational dishonesty, of that the usual outcome will be dismissal, apart from in exceptional cases.The decision also provides that where a case of operational dishonesty is 'exceptional', where the sanction of dismissal could be avoided, the circumstances that support a lesser sanction should be recorded in full.The decision provides how an officer's mitigation, namely personal mitigation, provides little relevance (however, mitigation of an issue that provides an explanation as to the circumstances of operational dishonesty may make a case 'exceptional').=== Other misconduct cases ===In 2023, the College of Policing released 'Gudiance on outcomes in police misconduct proceedings', where Salter's case is outlined to assist those whoa are appointed to conduct misconduct proceedings.",
"''Salter v Chief Constable of Dorset'' 2012 EWCA Civ 1047 is quoted in other police misconduct cases, including where a claimant has appealed a decision.",
"As well as misconduct cases, the appeal judgement has also been used in employment tribunals involving police, including the mention of personal mitigation."
