"Undeterred, they built a new stronghold nearby.",
"Prince Władysław tasked his sons Zbigniew and Bolesław with defending Santok.",
"While Zbigniew struggled, Bolesław led a successful counterattack, defeating the Pomeranians."
],
[
"Background",
"The Pomeranians, a fiercely independent and warlike people, had long been a thorn in the side of the Kingdom of Poland.",
"Despite repeated failures in their attempts to conquer Polish territory, their desire to disrupt the peace and inflict harm on the Poles remained undiminished.",
"In their latest endeavor, they set their sights on the Santok stronghold, a vital strategic point guarding the borders of the kingdom."
],
[
"War",
"Their initial approach was one of cunning and subterfuge, attempting to infiltrate Santok through deceit and bribery.",
"When these tactics failed to yield the desired results, they resorted to open violence, launching a direct assault on the stronghold.",
"However, the defenders of Santok, bolstered by a strong garrison and fortified defenses, repelled the attack with ease.Undeterred by their initial setback, the Pomeranians refused to abandon their ambitions.",
"Recognizing the strategic importance of Santok as a gateway to the heart of Poland, they began construction on a second stronghold nearby.",
"Despite facing resistance from the local populace and the defenders of Santok, they persevered, utilizing timber, oak beams, and other materials found abundantly in the region to fortify their new position.",
"The construction of the second stronghold proceeded with remarkable speed, driven by the Pomeranians' determination to expand their influence into Polish territory.",
"Walls were raised, moats dug, and defenses erected, all with the aim of creating a formidable base from which to launch further incursions into Poland.Polish-Pomeranian fightsUpon learning of the renewed Pomeranian threat, Prince Władysław of Poland wasted no time in mobilizing a response.",
"He called upon his son, Zbigniew, to lead the defense of Santok and put an end to the Pomeranian aggression.",
"However, Zbigniew's efforts proved inadequate, as his indecisiveness and lack of resolve only served to embolden the enemy.",
"It was then that Bolesław III Wrymouth, the prince's other son, emerged as the true hero of the hour.",
"Hearing of his brother's failure, he gathered a small but determined force and launched a daring counterattack against the Pomeranians.",
"With skillful tactics and unwavering courage, Bolesław led his men to victory, routing the Pomeranian forces and reclaiming control of the region also annexing the stronghold of Międzyrzecz."
],
[
"Aftermath",
"The news of Bolesław's triumph spread quickly throughout the kingdom, earning him widespread acclaim and admiration.",
"Even Prince Bretislav of Bohemia, Bolesław's maternal uncle, was impressed by his nephew's valor and sent messengers inviting him to his court.",
"There, Bolesław was honored for his bravery and rewarded with the return of the Kamieniec Ząbkowici castle, a symbol of his newfound status as a hero of the realm.",
"As Bolesław returned home, he did so not only as a conqueror but also as a symbol of hope and inspiration for his people.",
"His decisive actions had not only repelled the Pomeranian threat but had also reaffirmed the strength and resilience of the Kingdom of Poland."

"It was located in Echigo Province, in the Hokuriku region of Honshū.",
"The domain was centered at Mineyama, located in modern-day Mineoka in Niigata Prefecture."
],
[
"History",
"The domain was created in 1634 (Kan'ei 11) when the lord of Nagaoka Domain Makino Tadanari () distributed 6,000 koku of territory around Mineyama to his fourth son Makino Sadanari ().",
"As the new domain had less than 10,000 koku, Sadanari was designated as a hatamoto samurai instead of a daimyo.In 1863 (Bunkyū 2), the Tokugawa shogunate formally recognized Mineyama as a feudal domain with 11,000 koku.",
"Unlike many other feudal subjects, the lord of Makino Tadayasu (), was exempted from the requirement of spending time in the capital Edo as dictated by the Sankin-kōtai policy.",
"The administrative center of the domain was located at Mineyama Jinya.During the Boshin War, Mineyama Domain, along with the other domains under the Makino clan, initially joined the Ōuetsu Reppan Dōmei.",
"It submitted to the new Meiji government in August 1868 (Keiō 4), and subsequently sent troops to aid the latter's conquest of Shōnai Domain.",
"In 1870 (Meiji 3), the name of the domain was changed to Mineoka () to avoid being confused with the Mineyama Domain in Tango Province.",
"In the following year, the domain was abolished and became a part of Niigata Prefecture."

"1928 Liechtenstein embezzlement scandal"
],
[
"Introduction",
"The '''1928 Liechtenstein embezzlement scandal''' was a scandal involving leading members of the Christian-Social People's Party, where it was revealed that they had embezzled funds from the National Bank of Liechtenstein into various speculative transactions.",
"The scandal forced the the government of Gustav Schädler to resign and early elections to be called."
],
[
"Background",
"Anton Walser, considered the main participator of the scandal.Starting from 1926, leading members of the Christian-Social People's Party Franz Thöny, Anton Walser, Niko Beck and Rudolf Carbone embezzled funds from the National Bank of Liechtenstein into various speculative transactions.",
"This included the expansion of the class lottery in Liechtenstein and Romania, which was operated by Walser and had the legal representation of President of the Landtag of Liechtenstein Wilhelm Beck, who was also the bank's chairman of board of directors.",
"The program promised high income and employment for Liechtenstein, though found controversy within both the Landtag of Liechtenstein and the general population."
],
[
"Arrests and investigations",
"In June 1928, Walser, Niko Beck and Franz Thöny were arrested, with Rudolf Carbone being arrested in June 1929.In November 1929, Walser, who was primarily responsible, was sentenced to four years in prison, with the rest being sentenced to three.Johann II and the Progressive Citizens' Party blamed the Christian-Social People's Party and the government of Prime Minister of Liechtenstein Gustav Schädler for the scandal, as the men arrested were members of the party, and Walser himself was the party's president.",
"As a result, in June 1928 Johann forced Schädler's government to resign and early elections were called, with Prince Alfred of Liechtenstein temporarily as acting Prime Minister.",
"Schädler was not barred from re-election, but the 1928 Liechtenstein general election resulted in a win for the Progressive Citizens' Party and he was succeeded by Josef Hoop.In 1931, a indictment was conducted against Schädler in the State Court of Justice for violating supervisory and official duties in the administration of the savings bank.",
"However, he was acquitted, partly because the statute of limitations had expired and partly because the breach of duty was not due to gross negligence.",
"In 1932 a similar indictment was conducted against Wilhelm Beck for violating supervisory and official duties in the administration of board of the directors of the National Bank of Liechtenstein.",
"This resulted in him being ordered to pay for damages in 1935; though he appealed this ruling, he did not live to see its outcome.The Christian-Social People's Party accused government councillor Peter Büchel of being complicate in the scandal, in which he immediately demanded an investigation and was acquitted of all allegations."
],
[
"Aftermath and legacy",
"The Christian-Social People's Party had reported that they had felt treated unfairly by Johann II, and the party remained alienated from him for the rest of his reign, which continued under his successor Franz I and the successor party Patriotic Union.",
"The rift between the prince and the party would not be amended until 1938 with Franz Joseph II ascending to the throne and the formation of a coalition government between the Progressive Citizens' Party and Patriotic Union.The scandal greatly undermined the political power of the Christian-Social People's Party and later Patriotic Union in Liechtenstein politics, with it being used as a vocal point of alleged incompetency of the party.",
"The party would not form its own government again until 1970 under Alfred Hilbe."

"2006 anti-Tamil riots in Trincomalee"
],
[
"Introduction",
"'''2006 anti-Tamil riots in Trincomalee''' were a series of organized violence against the Tamil population of the Trincomalee town and its outskirts in eastern Sri Lanka that followed a bomb blast on 12 April 2006.The violence was mainly carried out by Sinhalese mobs, Navy personnel and home guards with the overall complicity of the Sri Lankan security forces and police.",
"By 20 April, the violence had left over 20 civilians dead, 75 injured, over 30 shops and 100 houses burned, and over 3,000 people displaced."
],
[
"Background",
"Trincomalee District has long been an flashpoint of ethnic conflict with nearly equal proportion of the country's three major ethnic groups.",
"The state's policy of settling Sinhalese peasants in predominantly Tamil areas had reduced the Tamil population of the district from 64.8% in 1881 to 33.7% by 1981.This issue was a major bone of contention between the two communities, with Tamil leaders resisting what they saw as attempts by successive Sinhalese-led governments to alter the demography of the traditional homeland of the Tamil-speaking people, thus marginalizing them politically and culturally.",
"With the beginning of the Sri Lankan civil war, the Sri Lankan armed forces had launched a policy of forcibly displacing the Tamil population of the district in the mid-1980s, depopulating entire villages, to break the territorial contiguity of traditional homeland claimed by Tamil nationalists.The progressive Sinhalisation of the Trincomalee town and the resultant decline of Tamil influence also extended to its trading sector with decade-long efforts to drive the Tamils out of it.",
"It was in this context of insecurity felt by the local Tamils that the latest spate of communal unrest was sparked by the illegal erection of a Buddha statue behind the town's main market on 15 May 2005 by Sinhalese nationalist groups with the support of the Navy's Eastern Commander, Rear Admiral Sarath Weerasekera.",
"This was opposed by the local Tamils as an act of provocation by Sinhalese Buddhists and the ensuing protests and violent incidents led to the security forces being reinforced in the area to protect the statue.",
"The issue politically galvanized the Tamil voters and contributed to the victory of the Tamil National Alliance (TNA) in local elections.Another notable incident contributing the volatile atmosphere was the massacre of five Tamil students in the town on 2 January 2006 by the Special Task Force, with a warning that Tamils will be evicted from the eastern province.",
"According to the UTHR, this was intended as the prelude to the revival of \"Sinhalisation of the East\" ideological project that was being pursued by the extremist elements increasingly dominating the Defence Ministry.On 7 April 2006, Vanniyasingham Vigneswaran, a prominent Tamil political activist and a supporter of the LTTE, was assassinated by state-affiliated paramilitary forces.",
"He had led the protests against the Buddha statue and spearheaded the TNA victory after campaigning on the issues of the statue and the massacre of students.",
"Following Vigneswaran's funeral on the morning of 11 April, the LTTE was suspected to have carried out the claymore mine attacks on the security forces and police in the district on that evening and the following morning, killing and injuring dozens."
],
[
"Anti-Tamil riots",
"=== 12 April ===As the town was buzzing with commercial activity in preparation for the upcoming Tamil and Sinhala New Year celebrations, a parcel bomb exploded at the vegetable market on Central Road around 3:50 pm.",
"Six Sinhalese civilians and a soldier were killed.",
"Although the bomb was widely suspected to have been planted by the LTTE targeting security personnel, local Tamils felt that it was a setup by the security forces to attack Tamils and this was reportedly confirmed to a Tamil official by a Navy man.Soon after the explosion, some naval personnel stationed nearby came running to the blast site shooting at random, reportedly hitting some people.",
"A small crowd was also seen throwing stones and breaking vehicles on the premises of a large Tamil business establishment near the blast site.Later on, within 15 minutes of the blast, gangs of young Sinhalese men armed with knives, swords, clubs and guns arrived in trucks and auto-rickshaws.",
"The gangs consisted of security personnel in civilian clothing, auxiliary home guards and thugs from an illegal settlement under Army patronage.",
"What started out as a relatively minor mob violence now became an organized one on a large scale, with the mob joining the organized gangs.",
"Numbering between 100 and 150, the gangs went on a rampage through the town's business area along the Central Road and North Coast Road, with Tamil businesses being the primary targets.",
"Tamil shops were singled out and systematically looted and burned, reminiscent of the anti-Tamil pogrom of 1983.The large Tamil business establishment, RR Marketing, was set on fire by the gangs; the owner and his employees were able to flee, and he had to start over for the fifth time since 1983.Overall, about 30 Tamil shops and 2 Muslim shops were burned.Tamil civilians were also attacked, hacked to death and burned with gasoline.",
"Several Tamil women were slashed with knives and swords, including a mother and her two-year-old child, with their faces, hands and breasts being mutilated.",
"Reportedly six Tamil women were killed.",
"Some Tamils were thrown into their burning shops.",
"The Navy was at the centre of the violence, actively participating, with a senior naval officer later admitting to the Navy's involvement in organizing the violence.",
"Most witnesses claimed that the Navy was specially brutal toward civilians.",
"A Tamil youth who was shot at by a sailor but was missed as he was trying to get to his father's shop on Central Road witnessed the brutality of the naval personnel.",
"The youth saw a sailor handing a man over to a sword-wielding thug telling him, \"''This is a Tamil, chop him''\".",
"He also saw another sailor striking the head of a Tamil woman lying on the road injured from the market blast with the butt of his gun.The violence later spread to the outskirts of the town.",
"In Anpuvalipuram, a grenade was thrown at a Tamil shop and two Tamil shops were burned down, reported pro-rebel TamilNet citing civil sources.",
"In Linganagar, a petrol station was burned and a Tamil man standing in front of it was hacked to death; two Tamils travelling on a motorcycle were slashed and burned alive; three burned bodies of Tamils were found inside a three-wheeler the next day, reported pro-rebel TamilNet citing medical sources.",
"Tamil youths were slashed in areas in Keniyadi and near Madathady junction.There was also a surge in sexual violence against Tamil women by the security forces.",
"Four women who went to a shop that came under attack were abducted in a van and subsequently raped and robbed.",
"A medical practitioner reported that Anpuvalipuram had a high prevalence of rape by the Navy and home guards, and mentioned an 18-year-old girl and two older women as among those who had come to consult him from there.While the violence raged for two hours, the security forces and the police stationed in the area remained spectators without intervening.",
"The policemen were ordered by their Headquarters Inspector not to take action against the Sinhalese gangs.",
"Further evidence of state complicity was reinforced by the fact that all attempts by the businesses to contact the top security officials by telephone went unanswered despite the assurance given to them earlier that year that they could be called in case of an emergency.A rumour was now floating around about an ethnic cleansing campaign at night.",
"The plan was to drive the Tamils out of Trincomalee permanently and displace them in refugee camps.",
"Fearing further violence, many Tamils fled their homes, seeking refuge in public buildings and places of worship.",
"The violence was stopped only after Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh telephoned Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa and urged him to protect Tamil civilians, thus averting a bigger disaster.",
"A curfew was finally imposed and the security forces dispersed the gangs but no arrests were made.Although the government and some media reports suggested that the violence was a spontaneous reaction to the bomb blast, a team of Colombo-based civil society groups after undertaking a fact-finding mission reported that there had been \"an element of pre-planning\".",
"Accordingly, journalist D.B.S.",
"Jeyaraj stated:\"this was no instance of angry mobs going berserk, but a case of cold-blooded calculation.",
"It appears that a plan had been formulated to attack Tamils beforehand, and that the explosion was like a green-light signal.",
"\"Seven Tamil victims of the riots were identified; however, several charred bodies presumed to be Tamils went unidentified, some Tamil residents reported missing were feared dead and locals suspected that many Tamil corpses were disposed of by their killers.",
"One estimate suggested over 20 Tamil and Muslim civilians were killed and another 19 people.",
"About 70 people, mostly Tamils, were injured and 50 needed hospital treatment.=== 14 April ===On 14 April, following the discovery of the dead body of a Sinhalese youth in Mihindapura who had gone missing the previous day, another bout of anti-Tamil riots erupted on the outskirts of the Trincomalee town.",
"Sinhalese mobs in Mihindapura with the help of the Army went on a rampage, setting fire to about 15 Tamil houses in the village and then burned down over 40 houses in the neighbouring Tamil village of Nadesapuram, 50 Tamil houses in Kanniya and 4-5 houses in Andankulam.",
"The office and other properties of the Trincomalee District Youth Development Aham, a humanitarian NGO, was burned down.",
"Nadeswarar Hindu temple was also burned down and a 60-year-old Tamil woman Somasuntharam Maheswary was dragged out of the temple and hacked to death.",
"Also among the killed were an Indian national and astrologer Venkadasamy Venkatraman (30); and an employee of the Trincomalee district secretariat Thannimalai Namasivayalingam (28).",
"Tamil villagers in affected and surrounding areas fled their homes, seeking refuge in schools and places of worship.",
"By 20 April, the violence had displaced 2673 persons (723 families) according to an official estimate.",
"Other estimates put the figure at over 3000.Tamil Rehabilitation Organisation made an urgent appeal for aid for total of 3306 internally displaced persons.Pro-rebel TamilNet reported statements from Tamil families sheltered in the school Varothiayanagar Bharathi Vidiyalam who recounted:\"Our houses were burnt, properties were destroyed and we were attacked by thugs with knives and clubs while the State armed forces and police looked on.",
"No one came to our rescue.",
"We fled from our houses and sought refuge elsewhere to save our lives.\""
],
[
"Reaction",
"=== Tamil National Alliance ===On 14 April 2006, the Parliamentary Group of the Tamil National Alliance issued a statement condemning violence, accusing the state of orchestrating the ethnic cleansing of the Tamil population of Trincomalee.",
"Pro-rebel TamilNet reported:\"Like the July 1983 genocidal pogrom against the Tamils, the current violence against the Tamil speaking people has been unleashed in Trincomalee with the connivance of the SL Navy...The TNA considers that these continuous acts of State Terror are being unleashed on the Tamil speaking people, with the specific objective of terrorizing the Tamil speaking people into fleeing the Trincomalee District with the intention of ethnically cleansing the District of Tamils.",
"\"=== LTTE ===On 14 April 2006, the LTTE's district political head S. Elilan issued a warning of major escalation if the violence continued.",
"Pro-rebel TamilNet reported:\"If the genocide attacks by State armed forces with the connivance of Sinhalese hoodlums continue in the Trincomalee district we would be forced to take steps to safeguard the lives and properties of innocent Tamil people in the district and that would lead to undesirable serious consequence on the current peace process.",
"\"=== Chamber of Commerce ===Pro-rebel TamilNet reported that on 15 April 2006, members of the Chamber of Commerce and Industries of Trincomalee District (CCITD) representing local businesses issued a statement during a conference accusing the security forces and the police of inaction every time their businesses had been targeted in rioting since 1977.They demanded compensation for the losses suffered and an assurance that pre-planned attacks on their businesses will not occur."
],
[
"Aftermath",
"As the armed conflict between the Sri Lankan armed forces and the LTTE resumed, Trincomalee town alone had had the highest rate of killing of civilians by state-linked forces by the start of 2007 and majority of the civilians killed in the district as a whole during this period were Tamils with perpetrators being overwhelmingly linked to the state.",
"Tamil business community in particular continued to be the targets of attacks in Trincomalee.",
"A prominent Tamil businessman and philanthropist Thambirajah Mayuran was murdered in his premises on 5 August 2006 by naval personnel in a plot hatched by a local Sinhalese chauvinist group to eliminate leading members of the Tamil community with the intention to demoralize it."

"Parmenas Githendu Mockerie"
],
[
"Introduction",
"'''Parmenas Githendu Mockerie''' (1900/1901 – ?)",
"was a pioneering Kikuyu writer, nationalist and contemporary of Jomo Kenyatta.",
"He published the first book in English by a black Kenyan."
],
[
"Early life",
"Parmenas Gĩthendu Mukiri was born at the turn of the twentieth century in Fort Hall (now Murang'a County) of what was then the East Africa Protectorate.",
"He was a member of the Mwithaga clan of the Agĩkũyũ nation.Like many of his contemporaries, Mukiri's early life was shaped by a missionary education, and he later Anglicised his name to Mockerie.He was educated at schools run by the Church Mission Society (CMS) and the Church of Scotland, before becoming a teacher at the CMS Primary School at Kahuhia in Fort Hall.",
"By 1927 it appears he began to distance himself from the mission after being criticised for his political activities.",
"In the same year, he made allegations against a missionary who he claimed made immoral advances towards his wife.",
"The missionary was cleared of the charges, but left Kahuhia soon after.",
"The following year, still at Kahuhia, Mockerie, became president of a group of teachers and students called ''Ngwataniro ya Agikuyu Ahungi Wara'' (The Gikuyu Folklore Society).",
"This was likely the first association of its kind, but appears to have been short-lived.Mockerie held his teaching position until 1936."
],
[
"Travel to Europe",
"In 1931, Jomo Kenyatta, Isher Dass and Mockerie travelled to London on behalf of the Kikuyu Central Association (KCA) to present their views to the Joint Select Committee on Closer Union in East Africa.",
"The KCA's decision to include two Kikuyu representatives, Kenyatta and Mockerie, reflected their concerns over Kenyatta's ability to fully represent their interests as well as the growing competition between the Kikuyu of Murang'a and those of Kiambu.",
"The delegation was refused a hearing, but in June 1932 they were called to give evidence to the Kenya Land Commission, chaired by Morris Carter.Mockerie's motivation for joining Kenyatta was at least partly driven by his desire for further education, which he was able to pursue at Fircroft Working Men's College in Birmingham and then at Ruskin College, Oxford, until 1933.This was facilitated by his CMS contacts, who helped his solve a number of financial problems.",
"An opportunity also arose for Mockerie to receive training in Moscow, alongside Kenyatta, with the assistance of George Padmore.",
"Padmore was critical of both Kenyans during their time in London, and ultimately Mockerie declined and returned home to Kenya."
],
[
"An African Speaks for his People",
"In 1934 Mockerie published one of the earliest autobiographies from East Africa.",
"His book, ''An African Speaks for His People'', was the first in English by a black Kenyan and was reviewed positively in academic journals.",
"It appeared four years before Jomo Kenyatta's ''Facing Mount Kenya'', but is little known today.Published by Leonard Woolf and Virginia Woolf's Hogarth Press for a liberal London audience, the book had clear political intentions.",
"As with some other autobiographies from colonial Africa that appeared in the years leading up to World War II, Mockerie presented his life story as the collective record of the Kikuyu.In his book, Mockerie imagines a Kikuyu 'nation' on a far wider scale than the fructuous politics of the time allowed.",
"He portrays the history of the Kikuyu as a series of revolutions of the youth against their elders, arguing that the Kikuyu were democratically superior to their British colonisers as a result.",
"Ultimately, he expects his own modernising Christian generation to do the same, replacing the Kikuyu customs that came before.It is likely Kenyatta read ''An African Speaks for his People'', and it is certainly clear he was familiar with Mockerie's arguments.",
"He was evidently horrified that Mockerie was prepared to renounce custom in his search for modernity."
],
[
"Later life",
"Details on Mockerie's later life are scarce, and his death has not been recorded.On the completion of his studies in England, he returned to Kenya.",
"The colonial administration later made him a chief in Location 13, near Fort Hall, where he was responsible for tax collection alongside the Tribal Police.",
"In his autobiography, Harry Thaku noted that Mockerie 'began to behave rather badly' and records that one man was beaten up by his policemen.Elsewhere, it is apparent that his activities against the colonial administration continued.",
"In 1947 an intelligence report to the Colonial Office recorded Mockerie attending a large meeting of the Kenya African Union in Fort Hall.",
"By 1960, the 'Corfield Report', (The Origins and Growth of Mau Mau) noted that 'Parmenas Mukeri Githendu' was a KCA leader and advisor to the Kikuyu Independent Schools Association (KISA), a movement to remove children from both missionary and government schools and into independent ones."

"Athena Demegorusa"
],
[
"Introduction",
"The statue of '''''Athena Demegorusa''''' () is a Roman marble lifesize sculpture of Athena, the Greek goddess of war and wisdom (known among the Romans as Minerva).",
"It was found in the Roman Forum of the ancient city of Nicopolis in the region of Epirus, and now exhibited in the Archaeological Museum of Nicopolis near Preveza, in western Greece."
],
[
"History",
"The statue is usually dated to around the time of Emperor Trajan (), though according to others it is from the times of Trajan's successor Emperor Hadrian () instead, or the early period of the Antonines.The statue was found in 1960 in the I. Nova plot, where the Roman Forum of Nicopolis was located, in a short distance from the conservatory.",
"The discovery of the statue further attests to the worship of the goddess Athena in Nicopolis, as do other Athena-related archaeological finds from Nicopolis.Today the statue of Athena Demegorusa is displayed in Room A of the Archaeological Museum of Nicopolis with inventory number 6, in the section dedicated to the Roman era of the city."
],
[
"Description",
"The statue is made of white marble, and at 153 cm high it is lifesize.The goddess is depicted frontal and resting her weight on her right leg (a posture known as ''contrapposto''), while her left leg is relaxed and bent backwards.",
"Athena's left hand rests on her waist, while her head is turned to the left and up.",
"Athena's helmet is of the Corinthian type, and she is wearing a veil and short chiton.",
"Both her head and her now missing right arm were separate pieces and inserted into the main piece afterwards.",
"Between her breasts lies her aegis, decorated with snakes, crossing her chest diagonally.Her face is oval, thin and ends in a small round chin, which is slightly projected.",
"Her forehead is smooth with broad cheeks, almond-shaped eyes with a wide upper eyelids, while the goddess's straight eyebrows bend slightly towards her temples.",
"Athena's mouth is small, with thin lips that are half-opened; the edges of the oral slit indicate use of a drill.The Athena Demegorusa belongs to the statuary type known as Vescavali, and is a copy of a fourth-century BC Greek original.",
"That original might had been a work by Praxiteles."

"To the south and south-east, Laerbeek Wood borders other green areas: the Poelbos, King Baudouin Park and the Jette-Ganshoren Marshes.",
"To the east, the forest borders the Campus Jette with the UZ Brussel.The appearance of Laerbeek Wood, with its many old beeches, is somewhat reminiscent of the Sonian Forest.",
"The past of Laerbeek Wood, like that of the neighbouring Dieleghem Wood and Poelbos, is linked to the history of the Premonstratensian Dieleghem Abbey, founded in the 11th century.Laerbeek Wood has an exceptional biodiversity and is part of the Natura 2000 Special Protection Area in the Brussels-Capital Region."
],
[
"History",
"The area around Laerbeek Wood was already inhabited in Roman times, as evidenced by the Roman villa of Jette, which was excavated there.Dielegem Abbey, founded in the 11th century, started a limestone quarry on the site of the present forest.",
"The place was given the name ''het laar''.",
"The stones from the quarry were used for the construction of the abbey itself, as well as for the Church of Our Lady in Mechelen and part of the Cathedral of St. Michael and St. Gudula in Brussels.",
"The operation of the quarry was terminated in the 15th century because the quarry there hit the groundwater table and this made mining too difficult due to flooding.",
"The abbey sought another productive use for the land and decided to plant a forest there.",
"Around 1600, however, the area of the forest was only .",
"Over the next two centuries, the forest expanded significantly to more than by the end of the 18th century.",
"The forest then reached as far as the Molenbeek brook.After the French Revolution, the abbey's property came into the hands of the state.",
"From 1796, the forest came into the hands of various speculators.",
"Among the various owners, the area of the forest reduced by two-thirds during the 19th century.",
"One of the owners, Eugène Van den Elschen, an Ixelles lawyer, built a Normandy-style pavilion on the southern edge of the forest in 1908.This chalet is now a restaurant and is part of the expansion of King Baudouin Park (third phase).In 1962, the municipality of Jette became the owner of the forest and the chalet.",
"In 1976, the forest was classified as a valuable forest and landscape and in 1977, the municipality sold it to the Belgian State, Department of Waters and Forests.",
"After regionalisation, it was transferred to Brussels Environment.",
"Part of the forest has been protected as a regional nature reserve since 1998.The forest is under European protection as part of the Natura 2000 Habitat Directive Area \"Forests and wetlands of the Molenbeek valley in the north-west of the Brussels region\"."
],
[
"Fauna and flora",
"The forest is located on a slope with an orientation to the south.",
"In the middle of the forest, there is a deep valley created by the exploitation of the quarry.",
"Here there is also a forest pond of about in length.",
"Similar to the Sonian Forest, Laerbeek Wood has a plantation of beech trees (Fagus sylvatica), all the same age.",
"There are also parts of an ash-beech forest with the rather rare wild garlic.The water of the stream is pure and particularly rich in calcium carbonate.",
"When it comes into contact with the atmospheric air, carbonic acid escapes from the water, precipitating this calcium carbonate.",
"The porous limestone formed is known as tufa and is an exceptional phenomenon in the Brussels-Capital Region.Depending on the subsoil, Laerbeek Wood has a typical flora.",
"One can find wild garlic, forest anemones and some bluebells.",

"The Strombeek-Bever and Groot-Bijgaarden interchanges were not completed until the mid-1980s.",
"Between 1995 and 2001, the N9 was also given a new (freeway) route and a renovated slip road (slip road complex 10 ''Zellik''), with the ring road between the Groot-Bijgaarden junction and the forest being widened.",
"New bridges were built over the railway line 60 and the N9 was given a half-cloverleaf connection with the ring road.",
"This widening ended abruptly before the highway passed Laerbeek Wood, creating a bottleneck for traffic.===Expansion and protest===Plans for further expansion were initiated by the Flemish Government in 2008.Fears arose, however, that of the protected Laerbeek Wood would have to disappear for this purpose.",
"The environmental movement and the municipality of Jette protested against the plans of the Flemish Government.===Bypass===However, the social cost-benefit analysis (SCBA) commissioned by the Flemish Government in 2013 also examined a variant in which Laerbeek Wood would be spared by creating a bypass on the north side of the current ring road.",
"The additional costs would be minimal.",
"The current inner ring road near Laerbeek Wood would be converted into a parallel road to the east, while the current outer ring road (to the west, Groot-Bijgaarden junction) would be converted into a main road to the east.",
"A new outer ring road (main road and parallel road) would then be built north of the current ring road.In March 2016, the Flemish Government decided to go for the basic project with a bypass near Laerbeek Wood.",
"This will also include an ecoduct with pedestrian and bicycle connections.",
"Previously, the Agency for Nature and Forests announced that it had purchased of agricultural land on the other side of the bypass with the intention to start planting a new forest there in 2028."

"Church of the Priest Felix and the Baptistery of Kélibia"
],
[
"Introduction",
" The '''Church of the Priest Felix and the Baptistery of Kélibia''', or the Baptistery of the Priest Felix of Demna, are a building and an Early Christian baptismal font richly decorated with mosaics, discovered in the 1950s at Demna, in the Hammam Ghezèze delegation in Tunisia.The baptistery is a major piece in the Early Christian department of the ''Musée National du Bardo'' in Tunis, and represents, according to historian Christian Courtois, \"one of the finest sets of Christian mosaics to have been found in Africa, and indeed, of its kind, in the entire Ancient Rome\".At the beginning of the 21st century, this archaeological find remains particularly important, despite the discovery of the later Bekalta baptistery in the early 1990s.",
"However, the Demna site did not deliver just this emblematic piece, as a collection of funerary mosaics, studied in their archaeological context, also joined the collections of the same museum."
],
[
"History and discovery",
"=== '''Location''' ===Map of northeastern Tunisia with Cape Bon.Since its discovery in October 1953 in the church of the priest Félix, in the locality of Demna, seven kilometers from Kélibia, the work has been one of the masterpieces of the Bardo Museum.",
"As such, it joined the museum's collections in the very year of its discovery.",
"After long being kept with other Early Christian pieces in the administration rooms of the Bardo Museum, and therefore inaccessible to the public, the baptistery is now visible thanks to the museum's major extension and renovation work.=== '''History of excavation and research''' ===Baptistery in its current exhibition space, with the threshold and its inscription.The site is described by the inventors as a forest dotted with archaeological remains located along the sea.",
"Although the site has not been extensively excavated, a necropolis covering more than a hectare was reported by the diggers, and a Christian low relief, studied by Paul Gauckler, was discovered nearby in the early 20th century.The baptistery was located in the ruins of a basilica, in the southwest corner of the building, during work carried out in October 1953.Jean Cintas, an engineer, and archaeologist, excavated the church in the summer of 1955 with the help of staff from the Antiquities Department, the Forestry Administration and solidarity workers.",
"However, the excavations remained incomplete on the façade of the building and in the courtyard.",
"Initial excavations yielded a few objects that cannot be precisely dated, including a crater, ceramic fragments, and marble objects.",
"They enable us to study a corpus of Christian mosaics in their archaeological context, unlike the Tabarka mosaics, which are also preserved at the Bardo and have not been studied in their context.",
"However, the tombs were not explored, and the necropolis was subsequently looted.",
"Christian Courtois studied it the following year, followed by Noël Duval and finally Taher Ghalia in the 1990s.",
"The latter excavations shed light on the building's history and layout, even though Duval notes the rapid deterioration of the ruin.The baptistery was transported to the Bardo Museum before exhaustive excavations of the church took place in 1955.The transfer of the baptistery to the museum in 1953 posed major logistical problems due to its fragility.",
"The site also contains several tumulus mosaics, which have been studied in their archaeological context.",
"The most recent tombs are of masonry construction."
],
[
"Archaeological context: the church of the priest Felix",
"=== '''A brief history of a modest church on Cap Bon''' ===The Late Empire: Honorius, painting by Jean-Paul Laurens, Chrysler Museum of Art, Norfolk.The simultaneous discovery of another baptistery, more crudely built and containing a monetary treasure dated to the reign of Flavius Honorius, enabled the excavators to date the first basilica to the 4th century.",
"The initial abandonment of the building is estimated at the beginning of the 5th century, and its supposed final state corresponds to the time of the Byzantine reconquest.",
"Duval estimates that the building was abandoned at the end of the 5th or beginning of the 6th century, and that the treasure is the product of hoarding.",
"Nine of the 43 coins have been cleaned, and the uncleaned lot may contain Vandal coins.Jean Cintas notes three stages in the church's history: the first, completed in the late 4th or early 5th century, followed by the construction of chapels and a new baptistery, and ending with work on the right-side aisle and apse in the early 7th century.Noël Duval considers the church, baptistery, and atrium to date from the 4th century.",
"In the late 4th and 5th centuries, a period of prosperity for the local community, the building became a cemetery church ''ad sanctos'', with funerary mosaics dating from before the 6th century.",
"Apsidal chapels were gradually built along the aisles to house the graves of privileged families, giving the architectural ensemble a martyrium-like appearance.",
"The church was quickly \"invaded\" by tombs (as the excavators put it), as the building was located outside the town and was therefore not subject to the ban on burials in towns.",
"The chancel is destroyed.",
"The tombs are either decorated with mosaics or have none.",
"The dead were buried not far from their relics, as in Carthage, where the basilica of Damous El Karita included \"rooms for funerary use\".Successive states of the church of the priest FélixAt the end of the 5th or beginning of the 6th century, contemporary with the reign of the Vandals, the apse was destroyed.",
"The baptistery may have been destroyed at the same time.",
"The apse was raised and an arcosolium added.",
"The building was restored after these predations, and the baptistery was rebuilt in the 6th century, while the south sacristy was destroyed.",
"Architectural choices may have been dictated by changes in liturgical orders or by financial considerations.",
"Columns reused from earlier buildings were added alongside the pillars.",
"The plan was then modified: the apse was reduced, and the presbytery was extended into the quadratum populi by a platform supporting the wooden altar, which contained two sarcophagi.",
"In Tabarka, in a similar situation, Paul Gauckler evokes a martyr's tomb, but here perhaps it's only a question of the tombs of privileged people.",
"The baptistery was rebuilt in the second half of the 6th century under Byzantine influence on a new plan and covered with a dome resting on pillars; this work was \"an important innovation in a church whose architecture had previously been so mediocre\".",
"There is a difference between the relatively simple restoration work on the apse, and the work on the baptistery, which required substantial financial resources from a donor.However, the church was impoverished in the second half of the 7th century.",
"The church was again partially restored at the end of the Byzantine era or at the beginning of the Arab occupation (7th-8th centuries), with the floor raised.",
"These works were carried out after heavy destruction \"too serious to be repaired\", and only a small part of the old building, the former north aisle, was used, along with the chapels on this side.",
"The shrinking of churches is a well-known fact in North Africa, dating back to the 7th century; the Christian community declined but may have persisted after the Arab conquest.The building was not destroyed suddenly, and the materials were then recovered.=== '''General description''' ===The church, which fits into the fabric of local buildings, is perpendicular to the sea.",
"The initial plan of the building does not stand out from other African basilicas and has a \"banal appearance\".The edifice is small, even at its largest extension, with maximum proportions of 24 × 12 m; the means devoted to it were limited and the population few, despite the lack of knowledge we have of the neighboring ancient agglomeration.",
"Constructed in small-scale brickwork, the building features large-scale stonework on the corners.",
"The walls are made of mortar and earth and coated with plaster.",
"The pillars are made of local sandstone.",
"The floor, initially of rammed earth, was later fitted with funerary mosaics in the apse and naves.",
"In front of the building is a courtyard with tombs and banqueting facilities, as well as a building originally thought to be a tower but identified in recent excavations as a small room.",
"The building was covered by a wooden and tiled frame with two slopes, and its height is unknown.",
"The state of the courtyard makes a precise study difficult.The church has three naves and seven bays.",
"A semicircular apse is located on the chevet side, and a chancel closes the last four bays.",
"The apse has a raised floor, and two sacristies were originally present, possibly vaulted.",
"The sacristies do not have a classical plan, as one wall is curved.",
"According to Noël Duval, the apse rooms on either side of the basilica are funerary chapels with access to the side aisles.",
"The altar left no trace, as it may have been made of wood; a funerary mosaic, no.",
"28 of a man named Rusticus, was built on its probable site.A second baptismal room was built on the south side of the apse, with an oval-shaped basin 0.51 m in diameter and 0.93 m deep.",
"This element was considered by the inventors of the site to be \"the primitive baptistery\".",
"According to Taher Ghalia's excavations, the primitive basin is in one of the pillars of the ciborium of the four-lobed basin and measures 1.30 meters by 1.40 meters.=== '''Funerary remains''' ===Early Christian funerary mosaics from the Church of the Priest Felix in the Bardo Museum.",
"The one on the left is excavator's no.",
"16 and the one on the right is no.",
"17, mentioned by Duval.Graves in funerary mosaics and sometimes in masonry have been dated to the 4th and 5th centuries, and these discoveries are an indication of the \"funerary character of the building\"s. The reasons for the construction of caisson tombs are not well known; a lack of space was cited at Tabarka, but this argument cannot be accepted for the Kélibia edifice.Early Christian funerary mosaic from the church of the priest Felix, no.",
"36 by the site's excavators.Four priests, two deacons and a reader have been identified among those buried in the church (apse and choir).",
"Twenty percent of the deceased are over 80 years of age.",
"The burials involved 37 men and 17 women.",
"The excavator found that the women were buried in the right-side aisle.",
"The fifty funerary mosaics feature a small number of motifs, a dozen or so representing Christian symbols, the most frequent being birds and roses.",
"The motifs are very commonplace, and the repertoire is homogeneous.The epitaphs are brief, banal and of \"apparent uniformity\".",
"An onomastic study was carried out, highlighting rare names, some of Berber origin.",
"A study of epithets enabled us to examine fashion phenomena.",
"The epitaphs are very homogeneous and date from the end of the 4th century to the beginning of the 6th century, with Duval pointing out that the absence of any systematic excavation of the burials causes inaccuracy in dating.",
"Most of the work on the funerary mosaics had to be carried out in the workshop, so as not to interfere too much with the progress of the worship ceremonies, unlike in Tabarka, where the mosaics were composed ''in situ''.",
"The tomb of the priest Felix found in the apse, which bears no.",
"1 in the corpus studied, is the oldest, dating from the end of the 4th century.",
"Clerics were buried either in the apse or in the choir, the latter also accommodating privileged individuals.",
"These funerary mosaics, an \"essentially popular art\", predate the 6th-century baptistery.",
"According to Cintas, the abandonment of funerary mosaics was due to impoverishment, even though mosaicists continued to work on the site, and recent tombs are devoid of epigraphs."
],
[
"Description of the 6th-century baptistery",
"=== '''General description''' ===The baptistery is located to the south-west of the basilica, in a kind of kiosk independent of the basilica to which its northern corner was connected.",
"According to Francis Salet, it is an \"autonomous edifice\" bounded by four pillars.",
"The baptistery was rebuilt at a time of great upheaval for the basilica, and the architect used walls, adapting his plan to them.",
"The complex of baptistery and kiosk constitutes \"an important innovation in this church, hitherto so banal in plan and so poor in structure\", even if the form is not original.View of the baptistery.The baptistery is a tetrapylon, a square measuring 3.30 meters on each side.",
"The 2.10-meter-diameter vat is set about ten centimeters off the ground and stands on a square mosaic pavement, decorated at the corners with four cantharus or craters from which scrolls, or vine branches emerge.",
"The circular basin is integrated into a quatrefoil.",
"The cover of the kiosk is unknown, but perhaps a dome was present, as evidenced by the size of the pillars and the importance of the domes built during the reign of Emperor Justinian.",
"The baptistery has an ambulatory; this model was most common in the East in the 6th century, and the baldachin dome is appropriate for a Byzantine building.The pavement features a threshold on which is inscribed: ''Pax fides caritas'' (Peace, faith, charity).",
"This is undoubtedly the entrance to the building, and the orientation of the Chrism at the bottom of the baptismal basin, and hence the arrangement of the various participants in the ceremonies.The basin, shaped like a Greek cross, has a four-lobed basin, each arm of which has a step for descending.",
"The basin is approximately two meters deep.",
"A ciborium, in the form of a four-meter baldachin on pillars, protected the whole.",
"The baptismal basin is shaped like a mensa, to \"materialize the symbiotic relationship between the Eucharist and baptism” and is also reminiscent of the cross.=== '''Mosaic basin''' ===The entire mosaic, \"one of the most beautiful mosaic ensembles in Christian Africa\", is set against a yellow background.",
"The mosaics in the baptistery are the most recent in the building, dating from the reign of Emperor Justinian or later.The vat contains the only inscriptions in the church that are not funerary.",
"On the threshold are the words ''Pax fides caritas''.",
"The entire rim is decorated with two lines of text, with the bases of the columns represented in cross-section; this text is problematic because of the names of the people quoted: \"In honor of the holy and blessed bishop Cyprian, head of our Catholic church, together with the holy Adelphius, priest of this church of unity, Aquinius and Juliana his wife and their children Villa and Deogratias have laid this mosaic destined for eternal water\"; the dedicators and dedicatees are thus named.",
"A Chrism marks each cell of the basin, with the alpha and omega.The polychrome interior is richly decorated with \"a very concerted symbolic program\": dove with white and yellow feathers carrying an olive branch, cup of milk and honey, crate, baldachin housing the cross, dolphins supporting a chrism, image of Christ, fish, candles, trees, and flowers including lilies.",
"Christian Courtois also notes bees, Noah's Ark, a chalice, and a ciborium.",
"The trees are highly stylized and can be identified as a fig tree, a palm tree, and an olive tree; the last is either an apple tree or an orange tree, according to Mohamed Yacoub.",
"The identification of bees was called into question in 1984 by Paul-Albert Février, who based his study on the marine iconography present on the mosaics preserved in the Bardo Museum and considered that they were representations of cephalopods in general and cuttlefish in particular.",
"The decoration of the tank is reminiscent of the marine and campaign scenes that sometimes coexist on African mosaics.",
"Monogrammatic crosses with alpha and omega punctuate the various representations.Mohamed Yacoub considers that \"the technical execution of the work is rather mediocre\", the overall effect given being linked to the contrasts in color.",
"The mosaics in the baptistery have similarities with certain type II mosaic tombs (the most recent) \"both in terms of iconography ... and stylistic particularities\"."
],
[
"Interpretation of the baptistery",
"In 1961, Noël Duval described the baptistery as \"the most beautiful monument of its kind discovered to date in Africa\".=== '''Rich mystical symbols and borrowings from secular tradition''' ===Details of the baptismal font.In his book, Christian Courtois describes the layout of the figures: after crossing at the threshold, the catechesis finds the bishop on his left.",
"The divine message is placed in his direction, and he can then access the knowledge of the Christianity and receive the chalice of milk and honey traditionally offered to the newly baptized.To make the message comprehensible to the catechumens, the décor is \"rich in mystical symbols\": The dove with the olive branch heralds the believer's peace, Noah's ark testifies to the unity and durability of the Church, and the baldachin symbolizes the victory of Christianity, the cup heralds communion, the candles symbolize faith and Christ, the fish symbolize souls, the trees evoke the Garden of Eden and the dolphin symbolizes Christ saving the shipwrecked fishermen.The baptistery at Hammam Lif also featured a marine animal decoration in the basin.The symbolic value is strong, testifying to the triumph of Christ and the cross, as well as to the Paradise promised to the faithful.",
"However, Paul-Albert Février considers that, in the specific case of water, there are more borrowings \"from profane tradition than from Christian symbolism\" and, more generally, a \"close link ... between the profane world and the decoration of places of worship\".=== '''Testimony to the circumstances of African Christianity''' ===Noah's Ark, a symbol of the unity of the Church, can bear witness to the circumstances in which the work was created, particularly the struggles between Donatists and Catholics.",
"In fact, Donatism persisted in Africa until the Arab conquest, and flourished again in the second half of the 6th century.",
"By donating the work, the donors testified to their attachment to Catholic orthodoxy.Courtois dismisses the identification of the Cyprian mentioned in the text with Saint Cyprian, as he believes it to be the local priest.",
"Février, on the other hand, believes that Cyprian is the local bishop and Adelphius the minister.",
"Yacoub, following in the footsteps of Cintas and Duval, believes that Cyprian is the preeminent prelate in Africa, while Adelphius, the bishop of Thevestis, is described as a priest, probably to affirm the preponderance of the martyred bishop.",
"According to Duval, the dedication of a baptistery to a saint other than John the Baptist is rare, and the inscription leaves \"a certain margin of uncertainty\".",
"Duval refers to St. Cyprian, the Catholic church mentioned as the \"church of unity\" and the Peace linked to the period of conflict during the Donatist schism of the second half of the 6th century.",
"Cintas, for his part, puts forward the hypothesis of a second Thevestia."

"Procession of the Bom Jesus dos Passos in Macau"
],
[
"Introduction",
"The '''Procession of the ''Bom Jesus dos Passos'' in Macau''' (also known as the '''Procession of the Great Jesus''' in Chinese or the ''Procissão em Honra do Senhor Bom Jesus dos Passos'' in Portuguese) is the most famous Catholic procession in honor of Jesus Christ organized in Macau about forty days before Easter.",
"The main purpose of the devotion is for the Catholic Church to remind its members and believers to remember the Passion of Christ and prepare them for the celebrations of the Holy Week.The two-day procession of the ''Senhor Bom Jesus dos Passos'' (The Good Lord Jesus of the Steps) is part of a more extensive novena in honor of Our Lord in His Agony.",
"It is similar to other Processions of the Bom Jesus dos Passos, such as in Florianópolis in Brazil or the Procession of Our Lord of the Passion of Graça in Portugal, which has been celebrated since 1587."
],
[
"History",
"=== Background: the Portuguese mission in Macau ===The Portuguese first settled in Macau in 1557, as a trading port between the East and the West, and survived there for almost two hundred years before obtaining the appoval of the Qing dynasty in 1749.Not until 1887 did Macau become a Portuguese colony, until reverted back to China in the year 1999.Formally established in 1576, the Diocese of Macau is the oldest diocese in the Far East in continuous existence: around 5% of population (30,000 people) is Catholic.=== Folk legends ===Along the historical development of the devotion of the ''Bom Jesus'' which was expressed by the solemn procession in Macau, urban legends were, and are still well spread.==== The legend of the guardian ====One legend about the origin of this particular statue of Jesus in Macau says that in a deep winter night, the sleeping sexton heard someone knocking on the cathedral door, but did not answer the call; so the Hallowed Guest ended up going to St Augustine’s Church, where the statue is kept throughout the year, to be processed back to the Cathedral once a year and spend that missed long winter night there.",
"==== The legend of the Chinese New Year Storm ====Another story claims that after a terrible storm, huge wooden crates were washed ashore, and they turn out to contain mountable body parts that were eventually pieced together to form this miraculous statue.",
"Locals affectionately call it “Daai Yea So” in Cantonese, “The Grand Jesus.”==== The legend of the ''Bom Jesus'' hill ====The devotion to the ''Bom Jesus'' has grown so much in Macau that even English travellers in the 194s were aware of the legends that anyone who would dare to build on the hill of the ''Bom Jesus,'' would immediately die.=== Historical outline ======= A Portuguese devotion dating back to 1587 ====The procession of the ''Bom Jesus dos Passos'' of Macau is similar to the ''Bom Jesus dos Passos'' procession which still takes places in Portuguese capital of Lisbon and has been organized since 1587.Both processions have many common elements which are signs of antiquity, one of them being their peculiar ''Via Crucis'' with only 7 stations, in contrast with the ''Via Crucis'' with 14 stations as promoted by Leonard of Port Maurice which became the standard in the 17th century.The immemorial procession in Macau takes place between two churches, the Church of Saint Augustine built 1591 and the Sé Catedral da Natividade de Nossa Senhora built in 1576, just around the time of the birth of this Portuguese devotion.",
"The Church of Nossa Senhora Da Graça, commonly known as the Church of Sto Agostinho, is run by the Brotherhood of Senhor Bom Jesus dos Passos.",
"This church has always been and continues to be the center of the cult of Nosso Senhor dos Passos, whose image is venerated there.The Confraternity of Nosso Senhor Bom Jesus dos Passos was established in Macau shortly after the Augustines arrived in Macau from the Philippines in 1586, as in that year the Passos procession started taking place.",
"==== A tradition restored by popular demand in Macau in 1721 ====Two and a half centuries ago, in 1717, the celebration stopped due to the absence of the friars of St. Augustine, who had been expelled to Goa.",
"There was such a great famine that the Macanese merchants went to the City Chancellor on the 14th of February 1721 asking that the \"''wooden man\"'' carried on the people's back would come out onto the street again, at their own expense.",
"This was done and the famine ended.",
"==== Replacing the image of the ''Bom Jesus'' in the 19th century ====The earliest recorded statue of the ''Bom Jesus'' was made of wood and its scaffold came from Brazil, being brought by Commander Domingos Pio Marques, who arrived here on the ship Ulisses on October 14, 1818; he had gone to Rio, as a deputy from Macau, to attend the festivities acclaiming the throne of King John VI of Portugal celebrated on February 6, 1818.The old image that existed in Santo Agostinho, a century ago, went to Timor.",
"Count Bernardino de Senna Fernandes, treasurer of the Brotherhood of the ''Bom Jesus dos Passos'', offered, on February 12, 1876, one hundred patacas to buy a new image that he himself ordered from Paris.In addition to this image, there was another smaller one that was in the Brotherhood's session room and to which the wife of Governor José Maria Lobo d'Ávila (1874-1876) offered a rich tunic; On February 10, 1884, this tunic was offered to the Missions of Timor.On January 17, 1907, a Portuguese from Hong Kong, João Joaquim Gomes, offered a scaffold with its frame to carry the image.The image, coming from Paris and offered by Bernardino de Senna Fernandes, in 1876, was taken in procession through the streets of Macau for 34 years (1876-1910).",
"But, after the advent of the Republic on October 5 of that year, we do not know whether due to a decrease in Faith or physical strength, the Brothers found it too heavy.",
"In 1911, the Portuguese Republic decreed that all religious practice should be confined within designated religious buildings, intending to minimise the ecclesial influence in the newly formed secular state.",
"The Passos did not comply with this law, but during the session of the Confraria, on April 5, 1911, it was decided to replace the large statue with a different lighter statue which caused an uproar among the conservative faithful of Macao who were strongly attached to this solemn devotion.",
"==== Extension of the devotion in the 1955s ====When, in the 1950s, the Macanese emigrated to Hong Kong and other ports in China, the devotion to Senhor dos Passos became more deeply rooted in the Catholic life of the Macanese to the point that he instituted this practice in his new place of residence.",
"This custom still persists today in Hong Kong, where an annual procession organized by the respective Brotherhood takes place in the Cathedral on the second Sunday of Lent.",
"In the Rosary Church in Kowloon, an image is exposed for veneration by the faithful for a fortnight (coinciding with novenas in Macau and Hong Kong) and according to old residents this practice must be at least fifty years old.=== Between health concerns and touristic frenzy in the 21st century ===Today, the ''Passos'' is officially enlisted as one of the 12 intangible cultural heritage items of Macau.",
"For years, faithful from Hong Kong have flocked to Macau to take part in the Novena and especially the procession of the ''Bom Jesus.''",
"Since at least the 1970s, the ''Bom Jesus'' has attracted tourists from abroad and been recognized a part of the folklore of Macau.",
"During the coronavirus pandemic, the grand procession stopped due to COVID; however it was held in a smaller scale within the court of the Diocesan Seminary of Macau.Since 1910, when Portugal became a republic, no nobility had been present.",
"However, in 2024, Dom Duarte Pio, Duke of Braganza, claimant to the dormant Portuguese throne, as the head of the House of Braganza, joined the procession enrobed as an ordinary penitent.Though the Passos can be seen to be a folkloric tradition, after all, such a religious practice entails a history of more than a hundred years.",
"It still retains its religious appeal.",
"It not only touches the individual on the three levels of emotion, mind and spirit but also through a long-term collective experience, a call for a collective identity is also formed.",
"This allows the devotees in Macau to bear a uniqueness."
],
[
"Ritual",
"=== Novena ===A nine-day prayer or novena that precedes the feast is very popular, always held on the first Sunday of Lent in the Church of Saint Augustine.=== Procession ===Penitents are seen taking part in the Procession of the ''Bom Jesus dos Passos''.The procession \"represents the journey of Jesus Christ and the procession takes place over two days.",
"It begins at the Church of St. Augustine and around St. Augustine Square and goes to Macau Cathedral, before making the reverse course on the second day.",
"\"At the beginning of the 19th century, Swedish merchant, Anders Ljungstedt, described the procession in these words: ''\"The Redeemer — an image the size of a man — covered in a purple cloak, carrying a crown of thorns on his head and a heavy cross on his shoulder, bends one knee on the bottom of a scaffold, carried by eight of the most distinguished citizens.",
"The bishop, with the secular and regular clergy, the governor, the ministers, the nobility, the military and the entire Roman Catholic population, can be said to watch, deeply moved by a scene that foretells the divine sacrifice that will be made to reconcile man with his Creator.",
"Children — with light and dark faces — dressed in angel dresses, with beautiful muslin wings on their shoulders, carry the miniature instruments, which were used for the crucifixion.",
"This procession runs through almost the entire city; when finished, the image is deposited in its sanctuary in the Convent of S.",
"Agostinho''.",
"\"To this day, after a conventual Mass on Saturday morning at the Church of Saint Augustine, a ''Via Crucis'' in Chinese takes place in the afternoon, followed by the Vigil Mass and the ''Via Crucis'' in Portuguese.",
"At 7 pm, the Statue of the cross-bearing ''Bom Jesus'', (veiled in purple lace to symbolize Our Lord being brought to trial), is carried down to the Sé Catedral da Natividade de Nossa Senhora.The procession is made according to a certain order.",
"At the time when the convents were full of friars - Franciscans, Dominicans and Augustines, in addition to the numerous Jesuits of St. Paul and St. Joseph and the entire diocesan clergy, all either with their religious habits or with their black cloaks and bishop at the front- this procession must have been very imposing.",
"A woman representing Veronica deressed in white and holding an icon of Christ leads the way followed by the Little Angels also came with the instruments of the Lord's Passion, throwing flowers.",
"The Dean of the Cathedral Chapter leads the procession, escorted by the magenta-clad members of the ''Confraria'' (Confraternity).",
"The Macau Police Brass Band provides the beating march music to this annual event.",
"The Bishop of Macau welcomes the Statue at the Cathedral and the vigil concludes with a sermon in Portuguese.On Sunday, the statue is brought back to St. Augustine’s Church through the major thoroughfares of the city centre.",
"The bishop, carrying the relic of the True Cross under a canopy, participates in the procession together with the Canons, clergy, twelve children dressed in white, torch-bearers and banner-bearers representing each parish."
],
[
"Music",
"A young girl is chosen each year to perform the role of Veronica, and sings the ''O vos omnes'' while unveiling the cloth depicting the Holy Face each time the procession stops for a stational shrine.",
"The faithful all respond likewise in Latin singing ''Parce Domine'' with the short refrain ''Senhor Deus, misericordia'' in Portuguese.",
"In the Sunday procession, the classic hymn sung is called “''Joe Sousa Misericórdia''”, usually sang by a tenor.The procession is accompanied by the brass band, which plays traditional tunes, including an arrangement of the ''Marche funèbre'' for piano written by Frédéric Chopin in 1837, which became the 3rd movement of his Piano Sonata No.",

"Over time, this name transformed into Al 'Aylafun.Another narration comes from the Beja language as it says that the word consists of two syllables (Ila) and (Von).",
"The first syllable of the name means white, but not pure white, and the second syllable of the name Von means Fung in the Beja language.",
"This is because the letter Ain does not exist in the Beja language, so the name expresses The White Funj, which means that there are black Funj, and this may be a distinction between the Abdalab and what is known to be called the Funj of the Amara Dunqas dynasty."

],
[
"Introduction",
"'''John Kiss''' (born '''Jonathan Kis-Lev''', September 12, 1985) is an Israeli street artist, peace activist and author, known for his graffiti work, political artwork and community-based projects.",
"Having been involved in peace activism since his youth, his work centers on the transformative capacity of art; notable works include ''The Peace Kids Mural'' and the ''27 Club graffiti'' in Tel Aviv, which have become city icons."
],
[
"Early life and education",
"Kiss was born to parents who immigrated to Israel from the former Soviet Union.",
"The family settled in Mishmar Ayalon, and he started taking private art classes.",
"At age eleven Kiss attended a peace art camp situated in Nablus, funded by USAID, and encountered Palestinian children for the first time; the art camp experience developed his passion for peacemaking, seeing the power of art in creating bridges and reconciliation.",
"At age 13 he joined the Jewish-Arab youth movement ''Sadaka Reut'', and began studying Arabic, eventually making Arab friends, both Muslims and Christians.Kiss studied art at Alef School of Arts and Thelma Yellin High School.",
"At the age of 16 he was selected by the Israeli committee of the United World Colleges to be a Young Ambassador of Israel at Pearson in BC, Canada, and studied there for two years, majoring in Visual Arts.",
"Upon completing his studies in Canada, Kiss returned to Israel to serve in the mandatory Israeli Defense Forces, eventually getting stationed at the headquarters of the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories, where he was in charge what he viewed as \"peace-promoting\" coordination of entrance of medicines into the Gaza Strip, enabling Palestinian patients to visit Israeli hospitals.",
"He later earned his bachelor's degree ''summa cum laude'' from the Open University of Israel focusing on art and psychology.Kiss is a board member of the ''Israeli League of Esperanto Speakers'', and was the president of the ''Young Esperanto Speakers''.",
"He is a member of ''Big Brothers Big Sisters'' of Israel, as well as the ''Israeli Association of Visual Artists''.",
"In March 2020, he legally shortened his name from Jonathan Kis-Lev to John Kiss."
],
[
"Art",
"===Major art works===In his style, Kiss was influenced by artists including Friedensreich Hundertwasser and Gaudi, which encouraged him to create public art using colorful pallets.",
"Kiss chose to create much of his graffiti in South Tel Aviv, especially Florentin.",
"He had to find creative ways to avoid being caught, as paintings and engraving could result in high penalties.",
"Untypical among street artists, Kiss used his actual real name in his work, as opposed to a pseudonym.",
"Soon after beginning to use images rather than texts in his graffiti works, a silhouette-drawn character began to emerge in his work, one that Kiss began repeating and re-drawing often.",
"The character, a mixture between a young child and a mythic elf, was to become identified with him, similar to a \"graffiti tag.\"",
"The elf character was often depicted flying, running, or jumping, always carrying a spray can, brushes and pens in his hand.",
"As his works became \"identified by his signature logo of an elf\", he began working with cutout stencils, which soon became Kiss' go-to method, mostly for the speed they allowed to complete the painting and leave the scene within minutes.",
"'''Homage to Banksy''' (mural):220x220px In his twenties, Kiss began creating non-commissioned graffiti works in Tel Aviv, Israel.",
"Inspired by bristol-based graffiti artist Banksy, Kiss eventually elevated his street art using stencils.",
"In a homage to Banksy's \"Flying Balloon Girl\", Kiss' new mural spanned 7 by 9 meters (22 by 29 feet) and displayed his iconic elf holding brushes and a spray can, flying upwards with heart-shaped balloons, while also including a part of the original Banksy imagery.",
"The mural has receivied considerable attention from art critics upon its completion.",
"'''Spray Me!'''",
"(Alice's Adventures in Wonderland mural):The work as seen from the street As Kiss ventured into new characters and created more intricate works, an \"urban elf\" became a recurring object, with a spray can which showed the medium with which the elf was created in the first place - graffiti - as a form of metafiction (fiction which deals with the craft of fiction).",
"Despite initially using traditional oil paints on canvas, Kiss shifted to use spray cans and stencils, which provided much quicker results.",
"Equating the magic of transformation offered by Alice in Wonderland as the magic potion transforms the wall, and wishing to play on the subject of graffiti being magical, Kiss substituted the original glass bottle in the scene with a graffiti spray can, changing the inscription on the bottle from \"Drink me\" to \"Spray me\" in capital letters.",
"Kiss chose a site in a different Tel Aviv neighborhood than most of his work, Neve Tzedek, for the large-scale work, which was painted using large stencil boards made by the artist in advance.",
"Annika Ramsaier of Goethe-Institut praised the work and art magazines noted its uniqueness.",
"The painting became a symbol of graffiti in the local area as well as the street art scene.",
"'''Poisoning the Youth''':340x340pxBelieving that art work can have a positive effect on the overall community and neighborhoods in which he worked, Kiss noted the way some municipalities contacted him to offer commissioned works, which he rejected, wishing to ensure his artistic freedom.",
"Wishing to create another meta reference to the art of graffiti, Kiss sought to balance the positive magic referred to in the ''Alice'' work with the supposed negative aspects of dark magic, eventually choosing the witch appearing in Disney's 1937 film ''Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs''.",
"In the movie, the witch offered a poisoned apple to the young Snow White, whose youthful beauty was the source of anger for the witch, and Kiss attempted to equate the poisoning element and the attack on his graffiti actions by a critic who called it poisonous for the youth.",
"Kiss sketched the witch facing the viewers, as if the viewers themselves were facing the poisoned apple, yet, substituted the witch's apple with a large spray can.",
"The work was later featured in several travel magazines and films.",
"'''The 27 Club Graffiti''': The work in progressKiss' next work, in 2014, depicted seven artists from the \"27 Club\".",
"Veering away from some of his previous work, Kiss began obsessively researching famous artists who died early, particularly the \"27 Club\", and began sketching portraits of them.",
"His eventual work included, from left to right: Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Kurt Cobain, Amy Winehouse and the figure of the artist.",
"Kiss decided to include a portrait of himself as well, with the intention of erasing his own portrait when (if) he would turn 28, but it was only after he reached that age that he set to finally create the mural.",
"Kiss wished to portray an \"uplifting\" portrait of these individuals and their lives, and painted the portraits of the famous artists in colors, but left his own portrait at the far right in gray.",
"He chose a prominent wall at the heart of Tel Aviv (on Haim Ben Atar Street).",
"Kiss was assisted by fellow artists Itai Froumin and Roman Kozhokin to execute the piece, which spans high by wide.The work as seen from the streetIn order to avoid heavy fines for the graffiti work, and to convince police that the large work was indeed commissioned, Kiss made himself and the team wear yellow vests and helmets like city hall workers, and rented a private crane and prepared special signs to be pasted on the crane as \"Property of the Tel Aviv Municipality\"; this strategy eventually proved to be successful.",
"Art journalist Zipa Kampinski covered the mural's secretive creation process.",
"\".",
"Soon after the completion of the work, Kiss' portrait was vandalized with pink paint thrown at it.",
"Over the years, the work has become known as one of Israel's must-see street artworks, and a popular scene in Florentin, and has been featured in several publications, including the Israeli street art documentary ''The Streets Are Ours'' (\"HaRehovot Hem Shelanu\"), becoming a became a symbol of the 27 club and receiving international coverage.",
"French, The spot where it was painted had become a meeting point for tours to convene in, and the wall right underneath it is today filled with dozens of graffiti works by multiple artists from around the world.",
"It became a symbol of the gentrification process in South Tel Aviv.",
"''Time Out Magazine'' cited Kiss' work among \"The most beautiful in Tel Aviv\", mayor of Tel Aviv (Ron Huldai) office, which eventually advertised street-art tours and featured Kiss' ''27 Club graffiti in Tel Aviv''.",
"'''The Bethlehem Peace Kids''':The Peace Kids in BethlehemThe Peace Kids in Tel Aviv, Frenkel StreetIn his next art piece, Kiss painted \"The Peace Kids\" murals in two places: Tel Aviv, Israel and Bethlehem, Palestine.",
"It was made in Bethlehem with Palestinian artist Moodi Abdallah.",
"The art work was extensively covered by ''Yedioth Ahronoth'', ''Reform Magazine'', and others.",
"The work subsequently became a symbol for peace, repainted by other artists, reproduced on shirts, included in artistic films, and appearing on posters and peace conferences invitations.",
"'''The Naïve Series''':While his street art often confronted viewers with unpleasant messages, including social injustice and the existence of war and violence, in his ''Naïve Series'' Kiss hoped to create the exact opposite, with paintings that will bring \"happiness and love\" to viewers.",
"For this Naïve art approach - which typically has flat rendering style with a rudimentary expressions of perspective and strong primary colors - and to achieve a more \"childish\" result he used his left hand, despite being right-handed; furthermore, he drew some paintings when the canvas was placed upside down, so that elements such as the sky were placed on the bottom, and chose canvases with a black layer.",
"In the Naïve Series Kiss focused on paintings of landscapes, mostly urban, of Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, as well as Paris, Prague and other cities around the world which he had visited.",
"The landscapes, however, were intentionally \"distorted, objects are crooked, the horizon is rounded, achieving a naïve look.\"",
"In Jerusalem he portrayed \"the silhouettes of Ein Kerem, the familiar outlines of the Hurva synagogue, the Montefiore Windmill and other notable buildings.",
"\"===Other art and social projects===From his beginnings as a graffiti artist, Kiss infused activism into his work, creating dialogue and practicing the art of social practice.",
"Kiss’ site-specific exhibitions are in close dialogue with his activism and advocacy efforts, which explore the power of art to respond to crises caused by exclusion from society, structural violence, depression, mental illness, and addiction.",
"Autism, often considered as taboo within ultraorthodox Jewish communities, was a subject Kiss focused on since his early career, seeking to bring awareness to the cause.",
"'''Tel Aviv Gay club shooting''':In August 2009, the Israeli LGBT Association in Tel Aviv was attacked during a youth-advisory evening, resulting in the deaths of a 26-year-old and a 17-year-old, and injuries for others.",
"Appalled by the shooting, Kiss sprayed various textual statements, including visual renditions of the rainbow flag with a diagonal black ribbon expressing grief, and the date of the gay club shooting.",
"The pride flag with the black ribbon was among the first instances in which Kiss veered away from textual catchphrases to an actual visual drawing on the street, and marked his transition from textual politically oriented catchphrase-based graffiti to a more visual and figurative style.",
"'''African refugees deportation''': While Kiss began creating his graffiti, African immigration to Israel became increasingly prevalent, as large numbers of people from Africa entered Israel through the lightly fenced border between Israel and Egypt.",
"Soon after, Israel began deporting African foreigners; while many of the African migrants were regarded by human rights organizations to be legitimate asylum seekers, the Israeli government regarded most of them as job seeking work-migrants.",
"Kiss was appalled by the deportation move, and to help their cause he began spraying catchphrases on the subject in streets and public squares in Israel to support the migrants, often quoting Biblical verses to persuade the religious community as well.",
"'''Other projects''': In 2012, Kiss partnered with ''Makor Rishon'' magazine, to produce their cover image, featuring a painting of Jerusalem.",
"The cover also included an excerpt from German philosopher Franz Rosenzweig's writings.",
"The Kiss painting, ''Love to Jerusalem,'' was painted to show his love for the city, in which he lived at the time.",
"'''The autism murals''': Growing up with a cousin with autism, Kiss wished to utilize art to encourage inclusion and to embrace children with autism and their families.",
"One particular issue that Kiss strongly opposed was Judaism's traditional rejection of autistic children from the bar mitzvah ceremony, which marks the transitio from childhood to adulthood (in classical Jewish tradition, the ceremony requires developed mental capacities proving the child is \"eligible\" to be announced as an adult).",
"Kiss partnered with Israeli NGO \"Small Heroes\" to bring hundreds of teens with autism to celebrate the rite of passage ritual, and distributed 200 of his illustrations among these pre-teens and their families.",
"Kiss then created an art installation from the joint drawings of these 200 children.",
"These illustrations, colored by the autistic boys and girls, were joined to a large-scale mural.",
"The mural, presented at Jerusalem's Western Wall, drew public attention to the cause of inclusion.",
"Presenting the 200-piece-mural in front of Judaism's holiest site was to encourage Jewish reflection at what Kiss called \"the dark rejection\" of people with special needs, and to turn the page towards a more positive, inclusive future.",
"The children who participated in the initiative, both boys and girls, were subsequently all aided in performing the bar mitzvah ceremony, essentially proving their adulthood according to Jewish tradition.",
"'''Art in Dark Places''': Kiss wanted to make art accessible to the wide public, and teamed up with artists Doron Polak, Iris Elhanani, Dudu Gerstein, Raphael Perez, Naftali Bezem, Nachum Gutman, Menashe Kadishman, Lea Nikel and Eran Shakine, to create \"Art in Dark Places.\"",
"They created a series of permanent parking lot exhibits, specially lit, aiming at making the experience of the car owners and passers-by \"safer and friendlier ... to bring inspiration even at surprising and unexpected venues.\"",
"The exhibitions were staged in parking lots mostly in South Tel Aviv.===Galleries===In 2007, Kiss had a solo exhibition in Tel Aviv, titled ''Beginnings: Neve Zedek and Jaffa''; and attended by notable visitors including Tel Aviv Mayor Ron Huldai, marking his debut in the Israeli art world.",
"In 2007, his work was featured at the Beit Gibor center, the Joï Gallery in Neve Tsedek, and over a dozen paintings were acquired by Israel's ''Bank Leumi'' as part of their permanent art collection.",
"In 2009 Kiss had a solo exhibition at the Shorashim Art Gallery pavilion at the International Bank, Tel Aviv, and another exhibition curated by Esti Drori and Doron Polak.",
"The event was followed by exhibitions in Berlin, Toronto and Miami.In 2010 he showed a solo exhibition at ''The Edge Gallery'' in Nahariya, and, at age 25, was the youngest artist to hold a solo exhibition in the gallery.",
"In that exhibition he showed large-scale, 6-meter long triptychs portraying the city out of a window.",

"Peace activism",
"'''Jews and Arabs Refuse to Be Enemies''':While living in Jerusalem, Kiss sprayed in multiple locations the catchphrase \"Jews and Arabs Refuse to Be Enemies\", a common slogan within pro-peace circles which also rymes in Hebrew.",
"With the goal of reminding passers-by to behave peacefully rather than to be led by their fear and prejudice, the graffiti aimed to show that art can break down prejudice.",
"'''Joint encounter groups''': Kiss joined hands with the German Federal Agency for Civil Education, and its president Thomas Krüger, to bring together young leaders from Israel and Palestine to Germany to promote Middle Eastern peace while simultaneously learning civic principles, conflict resolution and peace psychology.",

"Asterochloris italiana"
],
[
"Introduction",
"'''''Asterochloris italiana''''' is a species of green alga in the family Trebouxiaceae.",
"It was first formally described by the phycologist Patricia A. Archibald in 1975, as a species of ''Trebouxia''.",
"It was transferred to the genus ''Asterochloris'' in 2010.",
"''Asterochloris italiana'' is characterised by vegetative cells that are spherical in shape, measuring between 8 and 15 μm during the log phase of growth, with cell walls that are 0.5 μm thick or less.",
"As the cells transition to the stationary phase of culture, they enlarge to 20 μm, but their cell walls do not increase in thickness.",
"Central to each cell is a pyrenoid, which is encircled by what appears to be a continuous starch sheath.",
"This species is also notable for being multinucleate, meaning each cell contains multiple nuclei.Reproduction in ''Asterochloris italiana'' occurs through the production of zoospores and aplanospores.",
"Zoospores are small, measuring 2 to 4 μm wide and 3 to 5 μm long, and are distinguished by having an anterior nucleus and anterior stigma, which are indicative of their directionality and light-sensing capability, respectively.This species was isolated from the lichen ''Xanthoria parietina'' by Ruggero Tomaselli, initially identified as ''Trebouxia decolorans'' by Vernon Ahmadjian, and is maintained in the Cambridge Culture Centre under the number 219/5b.The alga has been identified from lichens collected in Ukraine, the Ural Mountains, and Antarctica.",
"It is a frequent partner for the genus ''Cladonia'', particularly Australasian specimens."

],
[
"Early life",
"Like most of his team-mates, Astley came from working-class stock, being the son of a butcher after whom he was named, and was employed as a weaver.",
"William was the brother of Alf Astley, who had been a regular player for the Olympic, but by 1883 was coaching the side."
],
[
"Football career",
"Astley joined his older brother at Olympic in 1881, playing his first match for the club in a friently against Liverpool A.F.C.",
"in March, at full-back while Alf played ahead of him at half-back.",
"Later that year, in the first round of the 1881–82 FA Cup, Astley made his competition debut; with Alf stepping back into a coaching role, Olympic tried out a new 1-2-2-6 formation, rather than the usual 2–2–6, with William one of the two \"three-quarter\" backs (alongside Tom Gibson) between the sole full-back Albert Warburton and the midfield.",
"The formation did not work as Olympic went down 3–1 to Darwen.The following season Olympic changed formation again to 2–3–5, moving Astley and Gibson to midfield, adding Jimmy Ward in defence alongside Warburton, and recruiting Jack Hunter as the pivot in centre-midfield.",
"This formula instantly paid dividends as Olympic beat the fancied Accrington in the first round of the 1882–83 FA Cup, and indeed Astley was a regular in the side as it went all the way to the 1883 FA Cup final.",
"In the final, the three-man midfield \"repeatedly proved stumbling blocks\" to opponents Old Etonians and Olympic won the Cup with a 2–1 victory.",
"Astley kept his Cup-winners' medal on a watch-chain which he wore into his seventies.It was the high point of his career, and that of Olympic.",
"Astley played in the 1883 Lancashire Charity Cup final against the club's richer rival, Blackburn Rovers, and the Rovers claimed local honours with a 6–2 win.",
"Astley also collected two runners-up medals in 1885, in both the Lancashire Senior Cup (beaten again by Rovers) and the Charity Cup (beaten by Accrington).Astley had a one-off appearance in goal for Olympic in the first round of the 1884–85 FA Cup, which may have been something of an ''esprit du jeu,'' as Olympic brushed Oswaldtwisle Rovers aside by 12 goals to 0.Astley was registered as a professional at the start of the 1885–86 season, as per the new regulations, but his career was almost at an end.",
"His final match in the FA Cup was in the defeat to Church in the third round; he only played half of the match, as his knee gave way, and the ten-man Olympic went down 3–1.The injury - a recurrence of an old one - seems to have ended his career."
],
[
"Post-football",
"Astley married Betsy Boothman in Blackburn on 4 November 1879; the couple's son James was born the following year.",
"After leaving the game, he became a newsagent in Brookhouse, and ran the Larkhall Inn public house from 1912 until his retirement in 1927.Astley died at the Blackburn Royal Infirmary on 22 May 1939."

"Umm Burayrah inscription"
],
[
"Introduction",
"The '''Umm Burayrah inscription''' (also known as the '''Abd Shams inscription''') is a Paleo-Arabic inscription discovered in the Tabuk Province of northwestern Saudi Arabia.",
"Among Paleo-Arabic inscriptions it contains a unique invocation formula, a prayer for forgiveness, and the personal name ʿAbd Shams (ʿAbd Šams).",
"It was originally photographed and published by Muhammed Abdul Nayeem in 2000, and was recently redocumented by the amateur archaeologist Saleh al‐Hwaiti.Though no date is found on the inscription, one proposal places it in the late sixth or early seventh century."
],
[
"Text",
"The following transliteration and translation comes from the 2023 edition of the inscription.",
"The text can be divided into three parts: the opening formula, the personal pronoun \"I\" (''anā'') plus the personal name, and the closing formula.",
"'''Vocalized transliteration'''bi‐smika Allāhumma anā ʿAbd Šams br al‐Muġīrah, yastaġfir Rabbahu'''Translation'''In your name, God, I, ʿAbd Šams, son of al‐Muġīrah, seek forgiveness from my Lord."
],
[
"Monotheism",
"The inscription is certainly monotheistic, calling for ''ʾistiġfār'' (the seeking of forgiveness) unattested in prior inscriptions and the use of ''rabb'' as a title for the deity Allāh.",
"The use of the title ''rabb'' for the one monotheistic God is also found in two other Paleo-Arabic inscriptions: the Jabal Dabub inscription and the Ri al-Zallalah inscription.",
"The inscription may be Jewish, although the absence of Christian symbolism (like a cross) speaks against it being Christian."
],
[
"Abd Shams",
"Although the name ʿAbd Šams was common in pre-Islamic Arabia, an individual named Abd Šams who is the son of another figure named al‐Muġīrah is less common, although two Islamic-era sources describe a figure by this name and genealogy from the Quraysh tribe: (1) ʿAbd Šams, son of ʿAbd Manīf, son of Quṣayy, son of Kilāb and (2) ʿAbd Šams, son of al‐ Muġīrah, was the son of ʿAbd Allāh, son of ʿUmar, son of Maḫzūm.",
"Of the two, the latter is a likelier candidate for the ʿAbd Shams of the inscription as he was a contemporary of Muhammad.",
"It is also possible that the figure in the inscription is unattested elsewhere in the historical record."
],
[
"Linguistics",
"The inscription contains the vocative form ''Aḷḷāhumma'' اللهم including the ''lām''.",
"This is also known from one other inscription: FaS 4a."
