Great Lakes Arena Football

The Great Lakes Arena Football (GLAF) was a minor-professional American indoor football league based in the Great Lakes region in the United States. The GLAFL is designed to be a regional "bus league" with minimal travel, while league member West Michigan Ironmen have direct control over league operations and membership. History After the 2021 American Arena League season concluded, Charlotte Thunder, West Michigan Ironmen and Pennsylvania Union left to form their own league (Arena Professional Football League), with the intent to run a five-team eight-week APFL schedule will run from April 16 through June 4, 2022. But by the time the season started only two Charlotte and Michigan were operating, and the Ironmen ended up playing an independent schedule. That experience, in addition to traveling costs, led them to form a league of their own called "Great Lakes Arena Alliance". 2023 season For its first season the GLAA planed the five teams that will participate in the league's inaugural 2023 season starting on March 4: Chicago Power, Southern Michigan Apex, Battle Creek Smoke, West Michigan Ironmen and Ohio Blitz, but Chicago were removed just before the season started. All remaining teams advanced to the playoffs, with the Ironmen winning the inaugural league championship, after beating the Southern Michigan Apex 81–25. 2024 season For the 2024 season the league plans to feature seven team lineup: the Battle Creek (MI) Smoke, Detroit Knights (originally the Detroit Dark Knights), Michigan Avengerz (Farmington, MI), Ohio Doom (Dayton), Toledo Extreme Shamrocks, West Michigan Ironmen (Muskegon) and Tri-State Bucks (Pioneer, OH). Teams Former teams Chicago Power (Chicago, Illinois) — Was part of the original teams for the 2023 season, but were removed just before the season started.

John Burges (physician, born 1745)

John Burges (1745 – 1807) was an English physician. Biography Burges was born in London in 1745, and educated at Westminster and Christ Church, Oxford. The dates of his degrees are B.A. 1764, M.A. 1767, M.B. 1770, M.D. 1774. He became a fellow of the College of Physicians 1775, was censor six times between 1776 and 1797, and an elect 1797. He held office as physician to St. George's Hospital from 1774 to 1787. As his health was delicate, he did not attempt general practice. He gave several gratuitous lectures on scientific subjects. His chief occupations were the study and the collection of the materia medica. In forming his collection he received much assistance from his relative, Sir James Bland Burges, sometime under-secretary in the foreign office. At his death, in 1807, he left his collection to Mr. E. A. Brande, who in 1809 presented it to the College of Physicians. It has since been considerably increased by gifts and purchases.

Irvine Academicals F.C.

Irvine Academicals F.C. was a football club from the town of Irvine, Ayrshire, Scotland. History The club was formed in late 1902 to provide a pure amateur side in the town, and had no exclusive link with the Irvine Academy; the club secretary, MacLachlan, had been involved with Glasgow University F.C., and it also had interest from Moffat and Fletcher from Queen's Park. The club had a bright start, beating the Ayr amateur side Ayr Parkhouse 2–1 in its first match, and proved a popular attraction in the town, a good crowd defying the rain to support the side against a Scottish Amateur XI in February 1903. The club duly joined the Scottish Football Association in August 1903 and entered the Scottish Qualifying Cup competition. The club however lost 6–0 at Kilwinning Eglinton in the first round, a result which "was in no way surprising". Undaunted, the club also entered the Ayrshire and Renfrewshire Football League, which was undertaking its first season in 1903–04, with six entrants. The Acas drew 2–2 with Paisley Academical in a "pleasant" first match, but lost the other 4 matches it played before withdrawing from the competition. The Acas therefore found succour in the Scottish Amateur Football League, but withdrew after losing its first two matches. Despite this first season of almost total blanks, it entered the Qualifying Cup again for 1904–05, but scratched when drawn to visit Beith. Indeed, the club does not seem to have played at all in the season and it was struck from the Scottish FA roll in August 1905. Colours The club played in blue and white. Ground The club's ground was at Kersland Field.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finn%20%28ethnonym%29

Finn (ethnonym)

The name Finn is an ethnonym that in ancient times usually referred to the Sámi peoples, but now refers almost exclusively to the Finns. The probable cognates like Fenni, Phinnoi, Finnum, and Skrithfinni / Scridefinnum first appear in a few written texts starting from about two millennia ago in association with peoples of northern Europe, possibly the Sámi. The Icelandic Eddas and Norse sagas (11th to 14th centuries), some of the oldest written sources probably originating from the closest proximity, use words like and inconsistently. However, most of the time they seem to mean northern dwellers with a mobile life style. The etymology is somewhat uncertain, but the consensus seems to be that it is related to Old Norse , from proto-Germanic ('to find'), the logic being that the Sámi, as hunter-gatherers "found" their food, rather than grew it. This etymology has superseded older speculations that the word might be related to fen. Finn is an exonym, a name that other peoples have used of the Sámi and the Finns, but which they themselves have not used. Fenni, Phinnoi and Skridfinnar The Fenni are first mentioned by Cornelius Tacitus in Germania in 98 A.D. Their location is uncertain, due to the vagueness of Tacitus' account: "The Venedi overrun in their predatory excursions all the woody and mountainous tracts between the Peucini and the Fenni". The Greco-Roman geographer Ptolemy, who produced his Geographia in ca. 150 AD, mentions a people called the Phinnoi (Φιννοι), generally believed to be synonymous with the Fenni. He locates them in two different areas: a northern group in northern Scandia (Scandinavia), then believed to be an island; and a southern group, apparently dwelling to the East of the upper Vistula river (SE Poland). It remains unclear what was the relationship between the two groups. From 5th century onwards, a new term, , 'skiing Finn', is applied to the Sámi. In the 6th century, the Byzantine historian Procopius describes the people of Thule, interpreted to mean the Scandinavian peninsula. Procopius' list includes Scrithiphini, which he describes as hunters. From the same period, the chronicler Jordanes describes a hunter-gatherer people called screrefennae in his Getica. In his description of the island of Scandza (Scandinavia), he mentions three groups with names similar to Ptolemy's Phinnoi, the Screrefennae, Finnaithae and mitissimi Finni ("softest Finns"). The Screrefennae is believed to mean the "skiing Finns" and are generally identified with Ptolemy's northern Phinnoi and today's Finns. The Finnaithae have been identified with the Finnveden of southern Sweden. It is unclear who the mitissimi Finni was. Finnar in Old Norse Sagas The Icelandic Eddas and Norse sagas (11th to 14th centuries), some of the oldest written sources probably originating from the closest proximity, use words like and inconsistently. However, most of the time they seem to mean northern dwellers with a mobile life style. As Old Norse gradually developed into the separate Scandinavian languages, Swedes apparently took to using Finn to refer to inhabitants of what is now Finland, while the Sámi came to be called Lapps. In Norway, however, Sámi were still called Finns at least until the modern era (reflected in toponyms like , , and ), and some northern Norwegians will still occasionally use Finn to refer to Sámi people, although the Sámi themselves now consider this to be an inappropriate term. Finnish immigrants to Northern Norway in the 18th and 19th centuries were referred to as Kvens to distinguish them from the Sámi "Finns". Ethnic Finns () are a distinct group from Sámi. Finland The first known use of this name to refer to the people of what is now Finland is in the 10th-century Old English poem . Among the first written sources possibly designating western Finland as the "land of Finns" are also two rune stones in Sweden: one in Norrtälje Municipality, with the inscription (U 582), and the other in Gotland, with the inscription (G 319 M), dating from the 11th century. As an ethnological classification In the 18th to early 20th century ethnological literature, Finns is often used in an extended sense, referring not only to Finns of Finland, but also to other Finno-Ugric (Uralic) speaking peoples. Etymology It has been suggested that the non-Uralic ethnonym "Finn" is of Germanic language origin and related to such words as (Old High German) 'find', 'notice'; (Old High German) 'check', 'try'; and (Old High German) and (Middle High German) 'pedestrian', 'wanderer'. It may thus have originated from an Old Norse word for hunter-gatherer, (plural ), which is believed to have been applied during the first millennium CE to the (pre–reindeer herding) Sami, and perhaps to other hunter-gatherers of Scandinavia. It was still used with this meaning in Norway in the early 20th century, but is now considered derogatory. Thus there is Finnmark in Norway, which can be understood as "Sami country", but also Finnveden in Sweden, in an area that is not known to have been Finnic-speaking. The name was also applied to what is now Finland, which at the time was inhabited by "Sami" hunter-gatherers. Current linguistic research supports the hypothesis of an etymological link between the Finnish and the Sami languages and other modern Uralic languages. It also supports the hypothesis of a common etymological origin of the toponyms and and the Finnish and Sami names for the Finnish and Sami languages ( and ). Current research has disproved older hypotheses about connections with the names and Proto-Baltic / Slavic meaning . This research also supports the earlier hypothesis that the designation Suomi started out as the designation for Southwest Finland (Finland Proper, ) and later for their language and later for the whole area of modern Finland. But it is not known how, why, and when this occurred. Petri Kallio had suggested that the name Suomi may bear even earlier Indo-European echoes with the original meaning of either "land" or "human", but he has since disproved his hypothesis. Yet another theory postulates that the words finn and kven are cognates. References Ethnonyms Baltic Finns Sámi peoples Finn

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slava%20Sevryukova

Slava Sevryukova

Slava Sevryukova (Bulgarian: Слава Севрюкова, 1903–1991) was a Bulgarian psychotronic researcher. Following the fall of the Berlin Wall and the subsequent transition in Bulgaria, she gained recognition for her purported visionary and folk healing abilities. Life Born in 1903 in Nova Zagora, Bulgaria, Slava Sevryukova descended from a middle-class family with a lineage rooted in traditional healing practices. At the age of 16, Slava married Stepan Sevryukov, who, having recovered from a severely injured leg during World War I, was impressed by her compassionate care for wounded soldiers. The family moved around the country and finally settled in the capital, where she established mutual contacts with the Bulgarian spiritual teacher Peter Deunov. After the fall of communism, in 1990 she addressed the First Psychotronic Congress in Sofia. In her talk, she discussed her predictions for an advance in science after the year 2000, between 2025 and 2030, and spirituality from 2031 onward that would ultimately dissolve divisions among people and erase national borders. Sevryukova died in her sleep in 1991. Work In 1963, collaborating with Assoc. Prof. Ivo Lozensky, Slava Sevryukova began psychotronic research employing what she described as a psi-wave emitted from brain cells, surpassing the speed of light in a vacuum, and directly influencing the object. Utilizing this method, they used Sevryukova's "power of thought" to temporarily halt the movement of microscopic objects, study their internal composition and gather information on various properties such as dimensions, mass, speed etc. Their monograph, "Psychotronic Studies of the Microworld," spanning nine years of dedicated research since 1981, provides detailed quantitative data on their studies. It posits that the cosmos, whether on a micro or macro scale, consists of five fundamental elements: vortices, psions, cosmic moisture, cosmic salt, and cosmic prana. Vortices, serving as the primary psi-field, exert forces, capturing and rotating all particles of the primordial elements in a left helix. Sevryukova and Lozenski initiated their exploration of the atomic realm with the study of the light hydrogen atom, progressing through the structural details of all elements until uranium. In their psychotronic model, atoms across all elements follow a common pattern—a rotating oval ring with an oval cross-section (a heavy nucleus) set in motion by the atomic vortex. The core, consisting of vast numbers psi-charges, generates a powerful psi-field amplifying the primary vortex, ultimately resulting in the formation of a dense atomic psi-field and the atom itself. In 1989, at the Congress of the Polish Psychotronic Association in Warsaw, they presented their atomic model in the report titled "A Psychotronic model of the atom and atomic nuclei". According to their phycotronic studies, magnetic psions create a static psi-field that attract all psi-charge particles forming the crystal lattice of solids. Sevryukova claimed to have observed the arrangement of atoms on the surface of a silicon crystall psychotronically in 1978, seven years before a similar image was captured using a scanning tunneling microscope. Assoc. Prof. Lozenski currently maintains a database containing written records and audio recordings of Slava, which he intends to consolidate and utilize in creating a documentary film about her life and work. Legacy Slava Sevryukova, alongside her assistant Assoc. Prof. Lozenski, received numerous invitations to participate in congresses, conferences, symposiums, and international events. Due to financial constraints, they managed to afford attending a few psychotronic conferences in Warsaw, Poland, by covering their own expenses given its proximity to Bulgaria. Despite invitations, such as the one in 1980 to the International Congress of Acupuncture in Palma de Mallorca, held under the patronage of the Spanish king, they were unable to attend due to a lack of organizational funds. However, they contributed to the American magazine Psi Research submitting a work on Man and Space. Their preference was to have their monograph published in Bulgaria first before reaching an international audience. Throughout her career, Sevryukova and Lozenski published nine works in various magazines covering topics ranging from human organs, Earth's core, to electronic and technicals elements. Additionally, they hold three inventions with copyright certificates for the rapid determination of carbonate in rock samples. Slava Sevryukova became an associate of the Washington Psychotronic Center, an honorary member of the Association of Psychics of the former USSR, and was declared an honorary professor by the Spanish and Indian Academy of Sciences.

Muhammad Ali vs. Ken Norton III

Muhammad Ali vs. Ken Norton III was a professional boxing match contested on September 28, 1976, for the undisputed heavyweight championship. Background Ali and Norton met for the third and last time on September 28, 1976, at Yankee Stadium to complete their trilogy. Norton won their first encounter, while Ali took the second. This time, 34-year-old Ali entered the ring as the Heavyweight Champion, making the eighth defense of his title since his victory over George Foreman in 1974. The fight Both fighters showed their strengths, but neither established themselves as the obvious winner. Most commentators gave the fight to Norton. Ultimately, Arthur Mercante scored the bout 8 to 6 while Harold Lederman and Barney Smith had it 8 to 7, all in favour of the champion, giving Ali a unanimous decision victory. Overall, Ali landed 199 of 709 punches while Norton landed 286 of 635 punches, per Bob Canobbio's CompuBox statistics. Norton both landed more punches and had far better accuracy (45% vs 28%). Norton also landed 192 power punches to Ali's 128. Aftermath Of the 21 sportswriters polled after the fight, 17 believed that Norton won. Ali said during an interview with Mark Cronin in October 1976: "Kenny's style is too difficult for me. I can't beat him, and I sure don't want to fight him again. I honestly thought he beat me in Yankee Stadium, but the judges gave it to me, and I'm grateful to them." Norton was bitter, stating after the fight: "I won at least nine or ten rounds. I was robbed." Norton said of the result years later: "If you saw the look on Ali's face at the end, he knew I beat him. He didn't hit me hard the whole fight. Then they announced the judges' decision and I was bitter, very bitter. Not towards Ali... he'd done his job, he was just there to fight. But I was hurt, I was mad, I was angry. I was upset... and it still upsets me."

2022 Pembroke–Black Creek tornado

On the afternoon of April 5, 2022, amid a tornado outbreak across the Southeastern United States, a large and deadly tornado struck the city of Pembroke and the community of Black Creek, Georgia, United States. The National Weather Service forecast office in Charleston, South Carolina, rated the worst of the damage from the tornado EF4 on the Enhanced Fujita scale with winds estimated at . This was the strongest tornado in the United States in 2022. Meteorological synopsis During the morning of April 5, a quasi-linear convective system (QLCS), commonly known as a squall line, moved across Georgia. The QLCS was being propelled by a mid-atmospheric shortwave ahead of a cold front. Mixed layer convective available potential energy (MLCAPE) across Georgia was as high as 1,500–2,000 J/kg, with dew points in the mid-60s. As the QLCS was moving across Georgia, a couple of discrete supercells formed. One of these discrete supercells would eventually become particularly robust, owing to strong wind shear and storm relative helicity values exceeding 300 . This supercell produced the Pembroke–Black Creek tornado. Tornado summary The tornado formed just southwest of Pembroke and quickly strengthened to EF2 intensity as it moved into town. It inflicted significant damage to the Bryan County Courthouse, which had many windows blown out and lost a large portion of its roof. The Bryan County Jail was also damaged and fencing around the facility was destroyed. The Bryan County Planning and Zoning office was partially unroofed and also sustained some collapse of exterior walls. The Bryan County Administrative Complex, located near the courthouse and jail, was leveled. A couple of older wood-frame homes were destroyed along South Main Street, multiple other structures and several vehicles in town were also damaged, and many trees and power lines were downed. Moving east-northeast, the tornado exited the town and maintained EF2 intensity as it crossed over a wooded, marshy area, flattening a swath of trees while also destroying an outbuilding along C C Road, and heavily damaging a house on Stubbs Farm Road. After moving north of Ellabell and entering the small community of Black Creek, the tornado strengthened and moved through George D. Hendrix Park at EF3 intensity. A large recreation center building was heavily damaged at this location, sustaining roof loss and collapse of exterior walls, with portions of its metal framing being twisted. Reinforced concrete light poles were snapped at the base, multiple large trees were snapped, denuded, and partially debarked, and turf at a football field in the park was also damaged. The tornado then grew to its peak width of about and reached its peak intensity of mid-range EF4 as it struck the Park Place subdivision. Several well-built homes here were destroyed, four of which were leveled, including two that were completely swept away with only their bare concrete slab foundations remaining. These homes were anchor-bolted to their foundations, though there was no contextual damage evidence to support a rating above EF4. Multiple other homes sustained major damage in the Park Place subdivision, some of which had roofs and exterior walls ripped off. Cars were tossed and damaged, and a large portion of the roof from the recreation center at George D. Hendrix Park landed on a house in this area, approximately away from where it originated. Several people were left trapped under the rubble of their damaged or destroyed homes and had to be extracted by rescue crews. No fatalities occurred in the Park Place subdivision, though there were multiple serious injuries. The violent tornado then crossed over Wilma Edwards Road onto the Black Creek Golf Course, where many trees were snapped and partially debarked, a golf cart barn was destroyed, and a clubhouse building sustained severe structural damage. Some homes at the golf course on Worthington Drive and Wellington Court were impacted by the southern edge of the circulation and sustained considerable roof and exterior damage. Around the golf course, the tornado reportedly changed the landscape. The tornado then weakened but remained strong as it moved further to the east-northeast, mowing down more trees as it moved through another wooded and marshy area. It then crossed over McCown Lane and Olive Branch Road before striking a mobile home park along the southern end of Homestead Drive at EF3 intensity. Several well-anchored mobile homes were destroyed after being thrown or rolled. Some outbuildings were destroyed, and storage trailers were overturned as well. A 66-year-old woman was killed in one of the destroyed mobile homes, and multiple injuries occurred throughout this area. The tornado then began to weaken as it crossed I-16 at the US 280 exit. Along the east side of the interstate, the tornado caused EF1 damage to some large warehouses, ripped part of the roof off a AGCO company building at Oracal Parkway Circle, and inflicted considerable damage to trees. It then dissipated after crossing the road at 5:33 p.m. EDT (21:33 UTC), having traveled . In addition to the fatality, at least 12 people were injured. Coupled with the EF4 tornado that struck Newnan the previous year, this event marked the first time that F4/EF4 tornadoes had struck Georgia in back-to-back years since modern records began in 1950. Aftermath Following the tornado, the Bryan County Commissioners declared a state of emergency in Pembroke. As a result of the state of emergency, a curfew between was established overnight, which prohibited people from traveling around the area to prevent trespassing in the tornado disaster area. The American Red Cross established a shelter in Pembroke following the tornado. Search and rescue teams from numerous neighboring towns came to aid in sweeping the area for injuries and aiding victims. Within 24 hours, the Bryan County Board had received $58,000 in donations and aid. The tornado caused the largest insurance claim in the history of Bryan County, with insurance claims reaching $17 million. In March 2024, the Bryan County Board of Commissioners approved the restoration of the Hendrix Park gymnasium, which was heavily damaged by the tornado.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohammad%20Behbahani

Mohammad Behbahani

Mir Seyyed Mohammad Behbahani (Pesian: میر سید محمد بهبهانی; born 1874 - died 1963 November 11) was one of the prominent religious authorities in Tehran during the contemporary era, playing roles in the Constitutional Revolution and later in the overthrow of Mohammad Mossadegh's government. Family and education Seyyed Mohammad was the son of Seyyed Abdollah Behbahani, who was counted among the Shia scholars of Tehran and leaders of the constitutional movement. His grandfather, Seyyed Ismail Behbahani, was also a scholar comparable to Mulla Ali Kani and Seyyed Sadegh Sangalaji. Seyyed Abdullah Baladi Busheri, from the close relatives of Mir Seyyed Mohammad Behbahani, was also renowned. He pursued his religious education in Tehran and Najaf under the tutelage of Akhund Khorasani and Seyyed Mohammad Kazem Tabatabai Yazdi, reaching the rank of Ijtihad. During the Constitutional era, he was introduced to the parliament by Akhund Khorasani as the top scholar. During the Qajar Era He was elected as a representative in the second term of the National Consultative Assembly but did not attend the sessions, and eventually, his resignation was read in the parliament on 19 September 1910. During the Pahlavi Era Mir Seyyed Mohammad Behbahani was associated with the Pahlavi court and opposed Mohammad Mossadegh during the nationalization of Iran's oil. He played a significant role in gathering supporters of the Shah during the coup on 19 August 1953. Dr. Mossadegh referred to him and others as the "scholars of coup." Behbahani, upon understanding the rise of Ayatollah Khomeini in the 63 Movement, became a supporter of this movement in a short period. The Shah vehemently warned him that if he supported the Khomeini movement, he (Shah) would make him (Behbahani) shave his beard dry and without soap. Behbahani replied to the Shah, saying: "Since 19 August (due to efforts to return you and people's welcoming you), so many people have spat on my face that it is impossible to shave my beard dry!" Mir Seyyed Mohammad Behbahani's life and actions reflect the complex political landscape of Iran during his time, where religious figures often played significant roles in both supporting and opposing various regimes and movements. Dollar-e Behbahani The term "Dollar-e Behbahani" (Behbahani Dollars) was first mentioned by a former CIA officer named Richard Cottam in his book. Cottam, a professor of international relations at the University of Pittsburgh and author of "Nationalism in Iran," became a liaison between the United States and associates of Ayatollah Khomeini during the 1979 Revolution and even visited Khomeini in Neauphle-le-Château. Several years after leaving the CIA and starting his academic career, he briefly noted in his book that during the coup, "Behbahani Dollars" were distributed among clerics and southern Tehran factions. According to declassified U.S. government documents that were released from the National Archives in 2017 under the title "Review of Recent Crisis," the U.S. Embassy in Tehran was a source of at least some of the "Behbahani Dollars." The document stated: "Based on credible reports, the U.S. Embassy secretly paid substantial sums of money to certain influential individuals, including Ayatollah Behbahani, a prominent cleric." According to the document "Review of Recent Crisis," dated September 2, 1953, Mohammad Behbahani was also one of the key figures in the final stages of the overthrow of Mossadegh on the morning of 19 August (1953). This document appears to be a British government report on some events of the coup, which they sent to their American counterparts. The U.S. State Department published a censored and incomplete version of the document in 1989. The censored sections, first reported by BBC Persian, are highly significant as they relate to the role of the U.S. ambassador in the coup and the controversial issue of "Behbahani Dollars." The document also states that Behbahani was one of the few people aware of the coup plan on the morning of 19 August, demonstrating the complete trust of U.S. and British intelligence agencies in Mohammad Behbahani. Such trust was unlikely to have existed regarding Abolqasem Kashani, who was strongly opposed to Britain. This is perhaps why some experts believe that the United States adopted a policy of engaging with Kashani to weaken Mohammad Mossadegh, but did not involve him in the details of the coup. These documents also indicate that only a few individuals were aware of the coup plan: some military unit commanders, the head of the police force, and "Behbahani, who was responsible for organizing the demonstrations." The documents also narrate that after Mossadegh's overthrow, payments to Mohammad Behbahani continued. A CIA report, citing sources close to General Fazlollah Zahedi, the new Prime Minister, stated that Zahedi gave Behbahani ten thousand tomans (about a thousand dollars) on the 26th of September and five thousand tomans (about five hundred dollars) a week later "to maintain Behbahani's goodwill and support him." Death Mir Seyyed Mohammad passed away on 11 November 1963 at the age of eighty-nine and was buried in Najaf. note References 1874 births 1963 deaths People from Tehran Iranian Shia clerics Pupils of Muhammad Kadhim Khorasani Scholars of Shia Islam

Policy instrument constituencies

A policy instrument constituency is a theoretical concept in political science and describes a network of actors (individuals and organizations) focused on developing, promoting, and maintaining a specific policy instrument (e.g., regulations, taxes, subsidies). Instrument constituencies have been identified as the key drivers of the "policy stream" in the multiple streams framework. By actively promoting the benefits and effectiveness of the instruments they promote, instrument constituencies can significantly influence the policy agenda. This influence can lead to the adoption of an instrument even when other tools might be more effective for a given challenge. Likewise, the influence of instrument constituency can lead to problem chasing, which is the situation in which the coupling of an instrument to a policy problem is driven by the former rather than the latter. On the other hand, encouraging the growth of instrument constituencies can also be beneficial, e.g. for fostering climate-friendly transitions. Development of the concept The concept first originated in the works of Jan-Peter Voß and Arno Simons, as a critique of studying policy instrumentation mostly from the perspective of policy choice. The latter perspective tended to take the availability of policy instruments for granted, or to treat them as emerging from experiential learning. In contrast, Voß and Simons emphasized the “supply side” of policy instrumentation, by showing that a particular tool, emissions trading, has been developed in a more or less coordinated way by a network of environmental economists, consultants, think tanks, and economic actors being attracted by the promise of emerging markets for tradable permits. Voß, Simons and colleagues also applied the concept to analyzing the development of other instruments, including experimental sustainability management, biodiversity offsets, citizen juries, and evidence based policy. Policy scholars around the world picked up the notion of instrument constituencies and developed it further. For example, Daniel Béland and Michael Howlett fleshed out the notion of instruments “chasing problems” in virtue of their constituencies, a point already made in passing by Voß and Simons in their original publication. Another development of the concept was to compare instrument constituencies to other collective policy actors. Ishani Mukherjee and Howlett argued that instrument constituencies, together with epistemic communities and advocacy coalitions can be thought of as three driving actor groups in John W. Kingdon’s famous multiple streams framework. Another conceptual development was the application of the concept to studying meta policy instruments by Simons and Alexander Schniedermann who analyzed the emergence of evidence based policy as driven by an transnational constituency. Formation of instrument constituencies Instrument constituencies form and are held together by functional as well as structural promises. The former include expectations about the effectiveness or superiority of an instrument, which are actively nurtured by the constituency. Structural promises, on the other hand, comprise expectations regarding roles, positions, and career opportunities that become necessary during the process of developing, implementing or sustaining the operation of an instrument. Constituencies form around instruments when expectations and promises attract researchers, consultants, government staffers or other actors in support of the instrument. The more such actors discover their shared interest in advocating the instrument the more the constituency becomes a strategic collective policy actor. Instrument constituencies in the multiple streams framework The multiple streams framework is a prominent approach in the political science, which emphasizes the unpredictable and complex nature of policy development. According to this framework, policy making is driven by the interaction of three largely independent streams: 1) a policy stream in which problems are identified and defined, 2) a policy stream in which potential policy solutions are developed, and 3) a politics stream that concerns the political climate and public opinion surrounding an issue. After the introduction of the instrument constituency framework by Voß and Simons, the multiple streams framework has been specified in terms of the collective actors driving each of the three streams. Many scholars now share the view that the solutions stream is mainly driven by instrument constituencies, while the problem and politics streams are driven by epistemic communities and advocacy coalitions respectively References

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Committee%20of%20Supply

Committee of Supply

The Standing Committee of Supply (, StU, SU) was a parliamentary committee in the Swedish Riksdag from 1809 and 1970. It was the central committee of the Riksdag for state expenditures and was responsible for issuing reports on the Swedish government's budget proposal; some appropriations issues were handled by the Committee on Banking and Currency (Bankoutskottet) and Committee on Agriculture after 1909. The Committee of Supply had unrestricted access to all the accounts and documents of the state administration in order to examine, investigate, and report on the financial condition, management, and needs of the state and national debt administration, with certain exceptions. They often consulted with or formed part of the composition of other committees. The Committee of Supply was also responsible for ensuring that disbursements of public funds were made correctly. Otherwise, the committee would make a report to the chambers against the relevant government official. History The Committee of Supply was one of the standing committees of the Swedish Riksdag and consisted, according to the Swedish Parliament Act of 1810, of 36 members, 9 from each estate. When two estates stood against two in decisions regarding state regulation and national debt issues, the committee was reinforced with 21 members from each estate, making it composed of 120 members. This so-called reinforced Committee of Supply then had the right to decide on the aforementioned issues with the authority of the Riksdag. In 1948, the committee's members were expanded from 24 to 30 members. In 1969, the committee consisted of 30 members, divided into five departments with six members each. According to § 39 of the Riksdag Act (Riksdagsordningen), the Committee of Supply was to receive the government budget proposal and have access to all government accounts and documents. The Committee of Supply's powers as the expenditure committee underwent several changes. In 1909, matters concerning the Swedish National Debt Office were transferred to the Committee on Banking and Currency (Bankoutskottet), and the preparation of the respective State Pension System (Pensionsstaten) and the General Retirement Fund (Allmänna indragningsstaten), as well as the main budget heading (huvudtitel) related to agriculture, were transferred to the Committee on Banking and Currency and the Committee on Agriculture. In 1933, the withdrawal accounts were returned to the Committee of Supply, but at the same time, it was relieved of the responsibility for parliamentary and auditing costs as well as the expenses for the Parliament's buildings and facilities, which were instead placed under the Committee on Banking and Currency. The establishment of emergency budgets in 1941 exempted it from the obligation to propose the two credits that would replace them, but as these budgets, like most regular expenditure budgets, fell under the purview of the Committee of Supply, its workload increased. In 1949, the State Pension System was returned to the Committee of Supply. Still, it remained the foremost expenditure committee of the Riksdag, tasked with examining and investigating the state administration's condition and management and proposing what was necessary to meet its needs, with the exceptions mentioned. The Riksdag Act originally mentioned nothing about the Committee of Supply's jurisdiction over income matters, except that it should specify the amount to be allocated through appropriations. As a result, the Committee of Supply also conducted a calculation of the ordinary revenues, which was explicitly legalized in 1933. To a large extent, it has also, without any provision therefor, been able to express itself on the grounds for regular incomes. There was a committee for financial matters in general and it prepared the proposal for the national budget. The Committee of Supply ultimately undertook to ensure whether the disbursements of state funds had been in accordance with the national budget, based on the orders issued by the king with proper countersignature and supported by appropriate receipts. In this audit of fund management, the Committee of Supply was guided by the report of the Committee of Public Accounts (Riksdagens revisorer), which had been handed over to it. The Committee of Supply worked in five departments, among which the various main budget headings were divided.

Makthar Archaeological Site

The Makthar Archaeological Site, the remains of ancient Mactaris, is an archaeological site in west-central Tunisia, located in Makthar, a town on the northern edge of the Tunisian Ridge. The site is one of the most extensive in the country, and much of it remains to be archaeologically explored in 2020, a situation comparable to that of Bulla Regia. Some of the reasons for this may be the relative remoteness of the region and the difficulty of integrating it into communication networks. In addition to the numerous remains housed in an archaeological park, with only a few scattered elements excluded, a small museum displays various archaeological finds from the site. Location The site is located on the border between northwestern and central western Tunisia, 150 kilometers southwest of Carthage and 70 kilometers southeast of Sicca Veneria. The city was built on the edge of a plateau at an altitude of 900 meters between the Ouzafa and Saboun wadi valleys. Its location on an easily defensible site illustrates its primitive military vocation. History Numidian, then Roman city Mactaris was inhabited as early as the 8th millennium BC, as evidenced by the fossilized snails' presence. The city was probably founded by Libyan populations, as indicated by the toponym MKTRM, translated into Latin as Mactaris. In the 3rd and 2nd centuries BC, it was a relevant Numidian city that formed a privileged alliance with Carthage under the reign of King Massinissa (202-148 BC). The city benefited from the development of Carthage before receiving large numbers of refugees when Carthage fell in 146 BC. Massinissa finally took the city in 149 BC. The Neo-Punic period saw a definite development: stelae from the 1st century found at Bab El Aïn testify to the presence of a tophet; the main deity at that time was Baal Hammon. Mactaris underwent a late but real Romanization: In 46 BC, it obtained the status of a free city, but maintained three shophets in its local institutions until the beginning of the 2nd century, perhaps due to Numidian influence; triumvirs replaced these magistrates in the same century. Some families became Roman citizens under Emperor Trajan, and some attained equestrian rank as early as the reign of Commodus. Promoted as a colony under the name of Colonia Aelia Aurelia Mactaris between 176 and 180, the city benefited from the Roman peace from the end of the 1st century and enjoyed a certain prosperity. At the end of the 2nd century, during the reign of Emperor Marcus Aurelius, the city reached its peak, as evidenced by the numerous monuments that were built as the city spread over an area of more than ten hectares. In the 3rd century, the city became the seat of a Christian bishopric and underwent the Donatist schism in the 5th century. At that time, the city had two cathedrals. An epitaph known as the 'Harvester of Mactar,' preserved at the Louvre and dating back to the years 260-270, recounts the career of a farm laborer who, after 23 years of work, obtained the minimum cens required to access the Senate of his city. According to Gilbert Charles-Picard, this ascent testifies to the “municipal decentralization that contributes to fighting against the concentration of political power and wealth.” The city was integrated into the province of Byzacena during the reorganization of the empire by Diocletian. The decline of the city started with the Vandal invasions from 439 onwards. During Justinian's reign, forts were constructed in existing buildings, including the 'Great Baths.' The decline was final in the 11th century, with the arrival of the Hilalian tribes. Succession of excavations The site has been known to travelers since the early 19th century, and excavations began in 1893, when the temple of Hathor Miskar was excavated. Excavations at the site began in 1944 under the direction of Gilbert Charles-Picard. The two forums were excavated from 1947 to 1956. From 1946 to 1955, it was the turn of the Schola Juvenes to be cleared. After a brief hiatus, excavations resumed in 1960 following independence. The site remains incompletely excavated due to its large surface area, and certain elements such as the Neo-Punic mausoleum, the Temple of Apollo, the Bab El Aïn arch, and the Julii mausoleum have been placed outside the archaeological park. Buildings Pre-roman buildings The site features a remarkable collection of megaliths that have been excavated. Comprising large slabs, the ensemble includes a space dedicated to worshipping the deceased during ashes-laying ceremonies. The megaliths functioned as collective burial sites. Excavations of an intact burial chamber, conducted by Mansour Ghaki, unearthed a large number of ceramics of various origins, both local and imported. This material has been dated from the early 3rd century BC to the end of the 1st century. On January 17, 2012, the Tunisian government nominated the complex for inclusion on UNESCO's World Heritage List as part of the royal mausoleums of Numidia, Mauritania, and pre-Islamic funerary monuments. Moreover, the site includes a Punic pyramidal mausoleum, similar to the mausoleum of Atban at Dougga. Archaeologists have also discovered a Numidian-era public square that likely served as the town's religious center due to the presence of temples. Among these temples was one dedicated to Augustus and Rome. The temple of Hathor Miskar is well-known for the extensive excavations carried out there, despite the inadequate preservation of the remains. At the core of the sanctuary, archaeologists found an altar dating back to approximately 100 BCE. Civil buildings The Schola Juvenes is a well-preserved building from the Severan period. It was excavated by Gilbert Charles-Picard and interpreted as the meeting place of the city's juvenile college due to an inscription. The building was financed by Julius Piso and constructed on the site of a Flavian sanctuary dedicated to Mars. It was later rebuilt during the reign of Diocletian. Although the Roman Empire did not generally support freedom of association, it did allow certain forms of association, known as 'colleges', as long as they did not disrupt public order and were justified on religious grounds (such as piety and funeral solidarity) or in the public interest (such as the firemen's college). The second category comprises juvenile colleges, consisting of young men who perform public order functions in the city, such as night patrols. However, their primary function is to provide a social setting for the urban elite, although rural dwellers and the less wealthy could also join. In 238, at El Djem, it was the juvenile college that led the revolt that brought Gordian I to power. Therefore, the historical significance of this monument can be understood by reconstructing the architectural framework of these important associations. The remains include a courtyard with porticoes, rooms for worship to the north, sanitary facilities to the east, and a meeting room to the west. The layout follows the Hellenistic tradition of the quadrangular palestra with peristyle. Near the building are the remains of a trough building, whose purpose is uncertain. It may have been used to collect taxes in kind or annona. The forum is located at the intersection of the decumanus and cardo, symbolizing the center of the Roman city. The 1,500 m2 square is remarkably well-preserved and surrounded by a portico. The square is enclosed by an arch, which remains one of the highlights of the site. The single-bay triumphal arch, built in honor of Emperor Trajan in 116, has been preserved and integrated into the Byzantine-era fortifications, with an adjoining tower. The building commemorates the change in the city's status and the founding of a new district. Another significant gate, Bab El Aïn, is located outside the archaeological park. In 1969, archaeologists discovered numerous Neo-Punic stelae in its masonry, some of which are on display in the site museum. Leisure buildings The site showcases the remains of significant thermal baths built between the late 2nd and early 3rd centuries. Among them are the 'Grand South Thermal Baths,' which are considered one of the most important in Roman Africa. The walls of these baths are preserved to a height of over twelve meters and feature a beautiful mosaic adorned with a labyrinth. Additionally, there are the 'Capitol Thermal Baths.' The main thermal baths of Makthar, inaugurated in 199, do not seem to have had a palaestra. Yvon Thébert, however, considers that the palaestras were integrated into the construction with a symmetrical plan, the total area of which is approximately 4,400 m2, with 225 m2 for the sole frigidarium from the Severan period, which occupies the center of the complex with the adjoining natatio pool and flanked by two apodyteria. In the 4th or early 5th century, the facilities are reduced: the complex is transformed into a fortress in the Byzantine period and equipped with a large masonry wall. The Western Baths, also known as the 'Capitol Baths,' were converted into a church either in the 4th century, according to Alexandre Lézine, or in the 5th century, according to Gilbert Charles-Picard. Noël Duval, however, suggests that the latest possible date for the change in function of the building is the 6th century. The building's surface area is not fully understood, although Yvon Thébert classifies it among medium-sized baths. To the east, the construction had arcades, of which elements of its northern part remain. An amphitheater, which has also been preserved at the entrance to the site, has undergone extensive restoration. The cavea structure is of a mixed type, with differences between the north and south: the northern part is built up, while the southern part takes advantage of the relief of the hill. A unique system of cages for cattle access to the arena was also discovered. Religious buildings The Capitol site has been poorly preserved, but excavations have revealed a dedication linking the emperor to the Jupiter-Junon-Minerve triad. Additionally, a temple to Bacchus was discovered. It is believed that a temple of Apollo replaced the sanctuary of Eshmoun, and this same process likely led to the creation of the temple of Liber Pater, which is the interpretatio romana of the Punic god Shadrafa. The site contains several basilicas, including the 'Rutilius Basilica' located just behind the museum. This particular construction has been studied extensively since its identification in the 19th century, most recently by Noël Duval. It is believed that the building, which was constructed on the site of a sanctuary dedicated to Saturn, served as the city's cathedral. The archaeological site includes a Vandal-era basilica called 'Hildeguns' with three naves and Byzantine tombs. The surviving remains of buildings from this period are rare, which adds value to the site. Discoveries on site Works in situ Several works can be seen in situ thanks to the Makthar Museum's privileged location at the entrance to the archaeological park. However, the monuments may appear relatively bare. Notably, there is a fine mosaic in the labyrinth inside the 'Grand South Thermal Baths.' Works deposited in various museums The epitaph of the 'Harvester of Mactar' is a significant document that sheds light on the economic life of the countryside and the process of renewing municipal elites in the 2nd century. Discovered in 1882 by Joseph Alphonse Letaille, it is now housed at the Louvre. Gilbert Charles-Picard utilized it to illustrate the interconnectedness of rural and urban societies, considering the city's small size. The La Ghorfa stelae series, unearthed near Makthar at Maghrawa (formerly Macota), is widely distributed. The British Museum exhibits 22 stelae, the Louvre has two, the Vienna Art History Museum showcases three, and the Bardo National Museum exhibits twelve. The last four stelae, discovered in 1967, are displayed at the Makthar Museum. Works deposited at the National Bardo Museum The lion sculpture, a limestone piece dating back to the 1st century and belonging to the Numido-Punic tradition, was unearthed in 1952 in the northeastern necropolis of the city. It would have adorned a funerary monument. The treatment of the subject is remarkable, particularly in the highlighting of the eyes and mane, making it an outstanding example of pre-Roman statuary. The La Ghorfa stelae from the series discovered at Maghrawa share a similar configuration. The artifact is divided into three stereotyped registers, each with its distinct features. The upper register depicts deities in human form, such as Saturn or Tanit. The central register displays a temple pediment with the dedicator standing next to an altar. The last register portrays a sacrificial scene, featuring the sacrificial animal and sometimes the sacrificer.

Spevack v. Klein

Samuel Spevack v. Solomon A. Klein, 385 U.S. 511 (1967) was a Supreme Court of the United States case in which the court held in a plurality decision that the Self-incrimination Clause of the Fifth Amendment applied even to attorneys in a state bar association under investigation, and an attorney asserting that right may not be disbarred for invoking it. It was a very close case, being 5–4, with the majority only winning with the vote of Justice Abe Fortas who wrote a special concurring opinion on the matter. This case directly overruled Cohen v. Hurley, 366 U.S. 117 (1961), a nearly identical case in which the Supreme Court had just recently upheld an attorney's disbarment for his refusal to testify or produce documents in regards to an investigation. This case has since spawned much debate, with some arguing this decision "signaled the decline of bar disciplinary enforcement". Historical Context Around 1965, attorney Samuel Spevack of the New York State Bar Association was under investigation and was served with a subpoena to produce various financial and business documents. Spevack denied, citing his Fifth Amendment right and that turning the documents over might incriminate him. With his refusal to comply, the state bar association charged him with professional misconduct, and was ordered disbarred by the Appellate Division of the New York Supreme Court, Second Division to take effect on December 1, 1965. Solomon A. Klein throughout these proceedings was the named respondent, this was due to him having been the Chief Counsel to the Judiciary Inquiry on Professional Conduct of the New York State Supreme Court. New York Court of Appeals Spevack appealed the ruling to the New York Court of Appeals which heard arguments on November 23, 1965. The court made its decision on December 1, the same day Spevack was to be disbarred, and ultimately based on the recent Cohen decision, upheld the disbarment and held that no violation of rights had occurred. Its decision had rested on Cohen and that, "the Fifth Amendment privilege does not apply to a demand, not for oral testimony, but that an attorney produce records required by law to be kept by him" (citing Davis v. United States, 328 U.S. 582 and Shapiro v. United States, 335 U.S. 1).Judge Stanley H. Fuld, who went on to become the Chief Judge of the New York Court of Appeals in 1967, wrote a concurring memorandum in which he expressed disdain in this case, showing he disagreed with Cohen decision but was bound by it. Supreme Court Decision Spevack appealed once more to the Supreme Court, which granted certiorari, and oral arguments took place on November 7, 1966, and decided on January 16, 1967. In a very close 5-4 decision the court, with a plurality and not a majority, ruled in favor of Spevack. The court reached its plurality with the vote of Justice Abe Fortas, who agreed with the general idea of attorneys having a Fifth Amendment right in this case but maintained that public employees did not enjoy that same right. Majority Opinion The majority opinion was written by Justice William O. Douglas, and was joined by Justice Hugo Black , Justice Earl Warren, and Justice William Brennan. All of these Justices voted for an attorney's Fifth Amendment right in the Cohen case. Their opinion rests on a strong interpretation of incorporation of the Fifth Amendment, saying,"it is in that tradition that we overrule Cohen v. Hurley. We find no room in the privilege against self-incrimination for classifications of people so as to deny it to some and extend it to others. Lawyers are not excepted from the words "No person . . . shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself"; and we can imply no exception."The opinion strengthened the case of Malloy v. Hogan, 378 US 1 (1964) which incorporated the right against self-incrimination against the states. It argued the Appellate Division had relied on the Cohen case instead of Hogan because Spevack was a member of the bar and thus Cohen did not apply, an interpretation the majority did not agree with. In Hogan, it was reinforced that no person should be punished for their silence by virtue of their Fifth Amendment right, protected and incorporated by the Fourteenth, and the majority determined that the threat of disbarment and its eventual execution was a violation of that precedent. They argued,"The threat of disbarment and the loss of professional standing, professional reputation, and of livelihood are powerful forms of compulsion to make a lawyer relinquish the privilege."This case has allowed attorneys to enjoy greater protections within their businesses and livelihoods by being able to assert their Fifth Amendment right within investigations. Fortas' Concurrence Justice Abe Fortas wrote a concurring opinion in this case, agreeing with the outcome but wishing for the plurality to specify that this case and ruling would not afford public employees a self-incrimination right if they were under investigation. He argues, "I agree that [Cohen], should be overruled. But I would distinguish between a lawyer's right to remain silent and that of a public employee who is asked questions specifically, directly, and narrowly relating to the performance of his official duties, as distinguished from his beliefs or other matters that are not within the scope of the specific duties which he undertook faithfully to perform as part of his employment by the State."He in essence agreed with the majority due to the simple fact he believed, "a lawyer is not an employee of the State. He does not have the responsibility of an employee to account to the State for his actions, because he does not perform them as agent of the State. His responsibility to the State is to obey its laws and the rules of conduct that it has generally laid down as part of its licensing procedures." Harlan's Dissent The first dissent in this case was written by Justice John Marshall Harlan II, joined by Justice Tom Clark, and Justice Potter Stewart. These same Justices also voted against an attorney's Fifth Amendment right in Cohen. Their argument rests on an idea that this decision would be a great loss to public trust, bar associations, and the legal profession at large as it will be,"frustrating to courts and bar associations throughout the country in their efforts to maintain high standards at the bar."They further argue that this decision would be devastating to the legal profession in the public eye, since attorneys and would-be applicants can claim Fifth Amendment protection to shield themselves from any proper investigation. This is put together by saying, "[This case] exposes this Court itself to the possible indignity that it may one day have to admit to its own bar such a lawyer unless it can somehow get at the truth of suspicions, the investigation of which the applicant has previously succeeded in blocking. For I can perceive no distinction between "admission" and "disbarment" in the rationale of what is now held."They further reason that even with the Hogan decision, the Court need not be so hasty in completely overturning Cohen, and further that the plurality didn't have deep enough thought or consideration at the "true issue", that being,"whether petitioner's disbarment for his failure to provide information relevant to charges of misconduct in carrying on his law practice impermissibly vitiated the protection afforded by the privilege."They argue that the interpretation of the Fifth Amendment federally largely stems from either a historical standpoint or modern and current public interests or urgency, and thus its incorporation against the states need not deviate from that same interpretation. They argue that this case doesn't satisfy either prerequisite, and further continue to speak on the fact that States, through their bar associations, are given a large amount of leeway in what they can require for their professions. They point to three cases, saying,"The States may demand any qualifications which have "a rational connection with the applicant's fitness or capacity," Schware v. Board of Bar Examiners, 353 U. S. 232, 353 U. S. 239, and may exclude any applicant who fails to satisfy them. In particular, a State may require evidence of good character, and may place the onus of its production upon the applicant. Konigsberg v. State Bar of California, 366 U. S. 36. Finally, a State may, without constitutional objection, require in the same fashion continuing evidence of professional and moral fitness as a condition of the retention of the right to practice. Cohen v. Hurley, 366 U. S. 117. All this is in no way questioned by today's decision." White's Dissent Justice Byron White offered a separate dissenting opinion, instead choosing to rely on Garrity v. New Jersey, 385 U.S. 493 (1967), a case they had ruled on in the same exact term as the case at hand. His argument is summed up by him saying, "Admittedly, however, in attempting to determine the present qualifications of an employee by consultation with the employee himself, the State may ask for information which, if given, would not only result in a discharge, but would be very useful evidence in a criminal proceeding. Garrity, in my view, protects against the latter possibility. Consequently, I see no reason for refusing to permit the State to pursue its other valid interest and to discharge an employee who refuses to cooperate in the State's effort to determine his qualifications for continued employment." Legal Public Perception Since the ruling there has been much debate on this topic, with many of the legal community speaking out against the ruling. One outspoken critic of the ruling was the widely known Michael Franck, a former director of the State Bar of Michigan and leading figure within the American Bar Association. Franck wrote "The Myth of Spevack v. Klein" as part of the American Bar Association's Journal just a year after the decision was handed down. The scathing article was written largely from the perspective of someone involved greatly from within a bar association, mainly talking about how public perception of the legal profession would fall following the ruling. He wrote, "If, as the Court has held, the furnishing of an attorney is an essential part of the administration of justice for which the state is responsible, it would seem to follow that the state is at least as interested in the integrity of the attorneys it licenses as in the integrity of its employees" There has however been some opinions to show that the ruling wasn't completely wrong, with specifically one article arguing that Spevack doesn't wish to regard a bar disciplinary hearing as criminal, which is generally the only context in which the Fifth Amendment may be invoked. One article written by President of the New York City Bar Association Russell D. Niles and former Chief Judge for the New York Court of Appeals Judith Kaye somewhat defends the reasoning of the ruling, saying, "Spevack suggests to some that the Court would now regard a disciplinary proceeding as criminal and not, as long accepted, civil...The Court is only saying that it regards a disciplinary proceeding as an extremely serious matter which, in its result, may be more like a criminal conviction than like a civil judgment. A lawyer being disciplined must therefore be adequately protected; he must have due process of law. This is not to say that the essential nature of the proceeding must be changed from civil to criminal; grievance procedures do in fact include the highest safeguards."

Dunilavichy

Dunilavichy (, ) is an agrotown in the Vitebsk Region in northern Belarus. History It was a private town of the Holszański family until 1551, when it passed to King Sigismund II Augustus. Later on, it became again a private town of various nobles, including the Białłozor, Brzostowski, Janiszewski and Tyszkiewicz families. It was administratively located in the Oszmiana County in the Vilnius Voivodeship of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. After the Second Partition of Poland in 1793, the town was annexed by Russia. Following World War I, it was part of reborn Poland. During the Polish–Soviet War, it was the site of two battles. The first was fought on 19–21 May 1920, ending in a Soviet victory, the second was fought on 3–4 June 1920, and was won by the Poles. In the 1921 census, 49.4% people declared Jewish nationality, 43.1% declared Polish nationality, and 6.3% declared Belarusian nationality. Following the joint German-Soviet invasion of Poland, which started World War II in September 1939, the town was first occupied by the Soviet Union until 1941, then by Nazi Germany until 1944, and re-occupied by the Soviet Union afterwards, which eventually annexed it from Poland in 1945.

Margaret Stanley (ecologist)

Margaret Christine Stanley is a New Zealand ecologist, and is a full professor at the University of Auckland, specialising in understanding and mitigating human environmental impacts, including the impacts of urban intensification and of introduced pests and weeds. Academic career Stanley grew up in Dunedin. Stanley completed a PhD titled Factors influencing fruit choice and seed dispersal by the silvereye (Zosterops lateralis) at Monash University. Stanley joined the faculty of the Centre for Biodiversity and Biosecurity in the School of Biological Sciences at the University of Auckland in 2007, rising to full professor in 2023. Stanley is interested in understanding how humans impact on natural environments, and how those impacts can be reduced or mitigated. Stanley has written about the lack of long-term monitoring of New Zealand biodiversity, particularly insect populations, and on research that showed hundreds of pet birds escaped each year, leading to suggestions that pet parrot sales should be banned to protect native birds. Stanley has also talked about the importance of pest control of hedgehog and wallaby populations, and the need for nationwide cat control. Stanley also works on weeds, collaborating with cartoonist Pepper Raccoon to produce science communication aimed at improving public understanding of the need to weed control and prevention. She also advises on how people can increase the biodiversity in their backyard through planting, and how better planting in private and public places can create 'sponge cities' to avoid flooding.

Safeguard (costume)

A safeguard was a riding garment or overskirt worn by women in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Some safeguards were intended to protect skirts or kirtles worn beneath. Mary Frith, dramatised as the character Moll Cutpurse in The Roaring Girl, wore a black safeguard over breeches. Safeguards made for Elizabeth I seem have been tied to the stirrup or foot. Some safeguards had pockets. In 1574, Elizabeth's tailor, Walter Fyshe worked on a safeguard of French "ashe colour Abramamasio" fabric, with laces of Venice gold, silver and silk, and added "newe pockettes" of green taffeta. Elizabeth's inventory of clothing includes safeguards matched in sets or ensembles with cloaks, and with jupes, and sets of matching cloaks, jupes, and safeguards. A favourite safeguard and jupe embroidered with stars of Venice silver and gold wheat ears was repaired twice, and washed and mended by the queen's silkwoman Dorothy Speckard. In July 1590, Paul Rey, a Danish tailor working in Scotland for Anne of Denmark, made her a set of riding clothes, including a cloak and safeguard of Spanish incarnadine coloured satin lined with taffeta of the same colour, and trimmed with silk ribbons and gold passementerie. Anne of Denmark's wardrobe inventory of 1608 lists eight "saveguards", four made with white, grass-green, orange, and straw coloured satin, trimmed with silver and gold lace, and three party-coloured safeguards, one of crimson and white damask, another of deer colour and white camlet, and one of willow colour and white damask. Another had a ground of silver camlet tufted with orange silk "of small tuft", lined with sarsenet. This safeguard had gold and silver seams with long buttons and loops woven of silver and gold thread. Lady Anne Clifford bought more practical and hardwearing riding garments when she stayed at Brougham Castle in Westmorland in November 1616, a "cloak and a safeguard of cloth laced with black lace to keep me warm on my journey" to London. Safeguards of cloth (broadcloth) are listed in many inventories of costume. In 1586, Margaret Grey and Mary Grey, daughters of a Newcastle miller, owned broad cloth safeguards listed with their petticoats. In 1596, Elizabeth Woode of Ramsey left a russet petticoat and a russet safeguard to her daughter. Bequests made by Anne Bikarstaffe of Stockport in 1699 include a "partelytt and savegard".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramalina%20dilacerata

Ramalina dilacerata

Ramalina dilacerata, commonly known as punctured ribbon lichen, is a lichen species belonging to the family Ramalinaceae. The species was first described in 1796 as Lobaria dilacerata Hoffm., and later transferred to the genus Ramalina by Hoffmann in 1825. Description Ramalina dilacerata exhibits a fruticose growth form, with a pale yellowish-green thallus reaching up to 1.5(-2) cm in height. The thallus is erect to ascending and abundantly branched, firmly attached to the substrate by a basal holdfast, resulting in shrubby tufts up to 2 cm broad. The branches are less than 1 mm wide, inflated and hollow (fistulose), pellucid when wet, and bear a few to numerous small, elongated or rounded openings (fenestrations). The cortex is thin, while the medulla is white, very lax, especially beneath the apothecia, with sparse hyphae forming discontinuous bundles of chondroid tissue. Apothecia are frequently present, lecanorine in nature, with a greenish disc and a thin, smooth thalline margin. These reproductive structures are mostly situated subterminal on the smaller branches, subtended by a short, pointed spur. The asci are 8-spored, clavate, and of the Bacidia-type. The ascospores are 1-septate, hyaline, and shortly fusiform, measuring 12-15 x 4-6 μm. The photobiont associated with R. dilacerata is a chlorococcoid green alga. Chemistry Spot tests on the thallus and medulla yield negative results for K, C, KC, and P. The thallus of Ramalina dilacerata contains usnic acid in the cortex, while the medulla is characterized by the presence of sekikaic acid, without any detectable amounts of homosekikaic or divaricatic acids. Distribution and ecology The geographical range of R. dilacerata extends across North America, stretching from Alaska down to California and westward of the Cascade Mountain range. This lichen can also be found further inland, as far as western Montana. It thrives primarily in riparian forests and shrublands at low elevations, though it may occasionally occur in areas with strong oceanic influences, east of the Cascades. In Europe, records of R. dilacerata have been documented in a handful of locations across northern and central Italy, including the regions of Veneto, Trentino-Alto Adige, Abruzzo, Molise, Campania, and Basilicata. However, the species is considered extremely rare in the montane and subalpine belts of the Italian peninsula. Ramalina dilacerata typically colonizes the bark and twigs of acid-barked trees, especially conifers. More rarely, this lichen may also grow on lignum (woody material) in highly humid environments. Conservation status Globally, Ramalina dilacerata is ranked as G5 by NatureServe, indicating that it is "secure" and commonly encountered throughout its range. In Canada, the species is classified as N5, meaning it is "common, widespread, and abundant" at the national level. At the provincial scale, its status varies from S1S3 (critically imperiled to vulnerable) in Newfoundland, to S5 (secure) in several other provinces. Within the United States, R. dilacerata has not been formally assessed, but it is known to occur in the state of Montana. In Italy, R. dilacerata is included in the national red list of epiphytic lichens as "Vulnerable" due to its extreme rarity in the montane and subalpine regions of the country. Synonyms Synonyms for this species include: Fistulariella dilacerata (Hoffm.) Bowler & Riefner Ramalina minuscula Nyl.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle%20of%20Moc%C3%ADmboa%20da%20Praia

Battle of Mocímboa da Praia

On June 27, 2020, jihadists from al-Shabaab raided the city of Mocímboa da Praia in the Cabo Delgado Province of Mozambique. Al-Shabaab fighters attacked the city following brutal crackdowns against civilians by the Mozambican government, and in their attacks, destroyed homes and killed more civilians. A Mozambican counteroffensive aided by South African mercenaries of the Dyck Advisory Group renewed fighting in the city, with the mercenaries being criticized for their indiscriminate shooting of civilians. Background Islamist militants aligned with the Islamic State – Central Africa Province (ISCAP) have been waging an insurgency against the Mozambican government in the northern Cabo Delgado Province since 2017. Mozambican government forces launched an offensive against Ahlu Sunna wal Jama'a (ASWJ), the main jihadist group in Cabo Delgado, a few weeks prior to the attack on June 27, and had recaptured the city from the jihadists on June 9. In the week leading up to the battle, Mozambican forces in Mocimboa da Praia were accused of atrocities that were "so brutal that multiple sources described the attack as a direct response to government violence." In the Nanduadua neighborhood of the town, government forces raped women and arrested men suspected of being insurgents during door-to-door raids on June 25. The local muezzin was injured so badly he couldn't perform calls to prayer the next morning, and many of those arrested were severely injured in custody, with one dying. The bodies of twenty-six people were also discovered on June 26, which residents identified as civilians were arrested the night prior. Government forces also kidnapped civilians in the villages surrounding Mocimboa da Praia, and cracked down heavily on the press in the city. These crackdowns pushed younger men to join the ranks of the jihadists. Battle ASWJ fighters attacked the city around 4am on June 27. The fighters launched the attack from multiple axes, with some engaging in combat with government forces in the south of the town and others raiding government and police buildings in the center of the town. The jihadists used RPGs and a SPG-9 along with an 82mm mortar, the first use of a mortar in the insurgency, although they had been documented in captured ASWJ loot in May. In the initial attack, ASWJ fighters destroyed civilian homes and infrastructure as well, and killed and abducted civilians. As many of the fighters were from Mocimboa da Praia, many of the civilian attacks were the result of personal grievances between the fighters and the victims, although other killings were completely arbitrary. Mozambican forces repelled the initial attack by the jihadists, but were overrun in a second attack. Mozambican forces, when they realized they were being overrun, attempted to blend in with civilians, leading to ASWJ seizing the city unopposed. Some Mozambican soldiers holed up in the town's bank, but were all massacred. Once in control of the town, ASWJ looted the military barracks and district administration building, along with cutting off cell phone service to the town. ASWJ continued to kill civilians when roaming the city after it's capture. Despite being expelled from the town on ground, Mozambican forces and South African mercenaries from the Dyck Advisory Group (DAG) launched a counteroffensive by air. Three helicopters piloted by DAG mercenaries fired directly into Mocimboa da Praia "to flush out the insurgents", while Mozambican forces launched a small ground counteroffensive. A civilian in the town stated that two of the helicopters did not shoot at a group of civilians with their hands up, and another group with some bandits embedded were all shot dead. Another resident stated that DAG helicopters destroyed the town's hospital, as the jihadists were inside thinking that the hospital wouldn't be destroyed. Afterwards, the helicopters "shot against everything and everyone", not discerning between jihadists and civilians. A source close to DAG stated that twelve ASWJ fighters were killed, and one Mozambican soldier was killed and thirteen more were wounded. Another source stated that the Mozambican government's offensive sparked heavy fighting on the afternoon of June 27, but was ultimately unable to dislodge the jihadists. The commander of the Mozambican forces, Horacio Arosio Charles, was killed in the fighting. Aftermath Many residents fled the fighting through the mangroves, headed towards the village of Pemba. Others fled by boat to islands such as Muichanga. Boats took refugees from Pemba to other areas north of Cabo Delgado in the days following the battle. When the residents returned, bodies were strewn all throughout the city. In a July 7 interview, Mocimboa da Praia mayor Carlos Momba stated that there was "no infrastructure" in the town. Bodies were still being discovered in the neighborhoods of Muengue and 30 by July, where clashes were heaviest. The jihadists continued to hold a presence in the town, with pro-Islamic State graffiti appearing in July. The lack of infrastructure and ever-present fears of a second battle forced more civilians to flee to Awasse and Mueda. The Mozambican government claimed the recapture of the city on June 29. DAG helicopters continued to shoot indiscriminately in the town in the days following the battle, and then shot into the forests where many jihadists, civilians, and hostages had fled. One imam taken hostage by ASWJ was killed in the forests by DAG. The war crimes committed by DAG and the indiscriminate firing on civilians was heavily criticized by human rights foundations such as Amnesty International and the Centre for Democracy and Development. The insurgents were present on the main exits and entrances to the city until July 3, kidnapping women from nearby villages. The insurgents launched another offensive on the city in August, capturing it.

Powell Creek Telegraph Station

Powell Creek Telegraph Station was a repeater station for the Australian Overland Telegraph Line and it sat between the Tennant Creek Telegraph Station and the Daly Waters Telegraph Station. It was one of the more important telegraph stations along the line as inland weather conditions were so favourable that not all stations where required to support the line. The telegraph station takes it name from the nearby Powell Creek which was named by John McDouall Stuart on 19 June 1861 after JW Powell. It is located 60 km south of Elliott and 200 km from Tennant Creek. It listed on the Northern Territory Heritage Register and was previously listed on the Register of National Estate. The area where it is located is now known as Pamayu (pronounced "Bama-yu") which is the Djingili name for this place. History The Powell Creek Telegraph Station was originally a temporary timber office and quarters that were constructed in 1872 and it was not officially opened until 1 January 1874 when these were replaced with a substantial stone building with a galvanised iron roof. During the 1880s that station was staffed by the Station Master, an assistant operator and five linesmen and labourer's. During this time it also became a stop in point for many travelers, explorers and drovers; especially as the pastoral industry in the region grew. In 1881 Nellie Flynn was born there, her father was Lindsey Crawford, was a linesman working there. In 1889 a police station was established at Powell Creek in an attempt to address the theft of livestock on the overland routes to Queensland and, at some time later, an Aboriginal ration depot was opened there. One telegraph operators there, from 1895 - 1898, was Albert McDonald who, after the completion of his work there, rode his bicycle from Darwin to Melbourne; he left Darwin on 22 August 1898 and arrived in Adelaide on 18 September 1898 having covered 3000 km in 28 days. He then arrived in Melbourne 6 days after that. Another staff member, Alfred Pybus, died and was buried there on 10 April 1900. The Telegraph Station ceased operation in the 1930s was abandoned in 1955. It is now a tourist attraction which is open to visitors.

The store expanded over the next five years, one by one taking over leases of adjacent spaces, until by 1928 it had acquired the entire space to build a large new consolidated store. The new store cost approximately $1,000,000 including the land, covering plot, at the northwest corner of Pine and Fourth streets, 4 stories plus a basement. It opened partially in February 1929 and fully on July 25, 1929, with the mayor of Long Beach speaking at the inauguration.

Newcastle Industrial School for Girls

Newcastle Industrial School for Girls (now, Newcastle Government House; 1867–1887) is a defunct Australian girls' school, which was located in 72 Watt Street, Newcastle, New South Wales. On 26 May 1871, the younger girls left the Newcastle Industrial School, and removed to a new institution at Cockatoo Island, named the Biloela Industrial School for Girls. The Newcastle Industrial School for Girls closed in 1887, when all the remaining girls removed to Parramatta Girls School in Parramatta. The building that housed the Newcastle Industrial School for Girls at 72 Watt Street is now the Newcastle Government House. History In August 1866 the Act for the Relief of Destitute Children, more commonly known as the Industrial Schools Act, was passed by the Government of NSW under the guidance of Henry Parkes· Children under the age of sixteen could be removed from their family and placed into the care of the government.· The Industrial Schools legislation enabled authorities to accommodate, detain and provide training for children under the age of 16 years who were deemed not to be in the control of their parents, in particular those associated with prostitution. The school was overseen by a superintendent and matron but with the resignation of the first superintendent, G. W. Jackson, who was appointed in early August 1867, before any admissions were made, the matron, Agnes King, was appointed as a matron-superintendent. The Newcastle Industrial School for Girls admitted its first 12 inmates on 31 August 1867, and within a month, had admitted 30 girls. On 19 January 1869, the Reformatory School Act resulted in the establishment of the reformatory for girls in the Officers' Barracks on the same site. Once admitted to an Industrial School a girl was required to stay for a minimum of twelve months. Some were released at younger ages, either returned to their families or guardians or, after 12 months, apprenticed out. In cases of return to families, police checks were conducted in advance to ensure that the child was being sent into a suitable situation. It was a place of detention for girls charged with neglect, wandering, street-trading or being 'uncontrollable'. By November 1868, the number of children housed had risen to 84 inmates. In 1869, a Girls’ Reformatory was also opened on the same site. Girls were tasked with repairing stockings, clothing and linen and also bed ticks, bolster cases and sheets. By the end of 1870, children under the age of ten were taught the basics of sewing. The more junior girls, aged between 10 and 14, sewed for two hours daily, and the senior girls, over the age of 14, spent three hours daily doing needlework and completing the clothing items expected of the school by the Government. Agnes Clarke wanted the girls to learn to farm and how to milk a cow so purchased two cows at the cost six pounds on 6 May 1870. Each Sunday, members of staff escorted girls to local church including Church of England, Christ Church, St John's in Lake Road and St Mary's in Perkin Street. Religious material were given out by the church of England. They had free time on the beach and had community outings to Ash Island and other places around the Hunter. Between 1867 and 1871, 193 girls and young women were sent to the Industrial School and Reformatory. There were issues with a low staff to inmate ratio of 6 staff to 55 girls. Escapes in 1869, included three girls on 22 December 1867, three girls on 20 June 1868, and two escapes totaling ten girls on 20 November 1868. There were five riots: 9 July 1868, October 1868, 6 January 1871, 10 March 1871 and 19 March 1871. Crowding and an inability to completely segregate both the different age groups and ill inmates within the Industrial School, added to the problems faced by the superintendent as prior to this the building had been used for storage and administration. Richard Harris, reporting in 1870, identified huge savings in the cost of medicine when comparing expenditure for 1869 and 1870 with costs for 1869 being in excess of £64 and 1870 dropping to just over £8. He had also saved money on milk by purchasing the two cows but he was ordered to sell the cows by the Colonial Secretary. The cost to the government, including staff salaries, was £26 per head. Sydney was not happy with costs created by transferring not only inmates but goods between Sydney and Newcastle with the transfers being done by boat. The Newcastle Industrial School for Girls closed in 1887, when all the remaining girls removed to Parramatta Girls School in Parramatta. The building that housed the Newcastle Industrial School for Girls at 72 Watt Street has been repurposed as the Newcastle Government House.

Muhammad Javed (born 1942) is a Pakistani painter, art curator, and writer. Biography Muhammad Javed was born in 1942 in Sheikhupura, Punjab, Pakistan. He joined the National College of Arts (NCA) Lahore, where he studied under Shakir Ali. He graduated in fine art (painting) in 1962 from NCA Lahore. Later, he also studied urban and regional planning at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), USA. In 1989, Javed received the First Annual Distinguished Artist Award from MIT. He also attended courses in education technology, communication, planning and development and housing. During his career, he has been painting since his graduation from NCA in 1962. He has a number of solo shows at his credit held nationally and internationally. In addition he regularly participates in group shows. He has spent his life in Lahore, where he has worked to conserve the environmental and architectural heritage of Lahore. Javed is recognized as a senior artist in Pakistan, noted for his distinct technique, style, and versatility. Artwork and idiom Javed has developed a signature style since the 1970s that incorporates elements of modern Pakistani art. His work often reflects social, cultural, and political themes, and he continues to produce art that comments on contemporary issues. Javed was influenced by his mentor Shakir Ali's rational approach to art, adopting similar styles in his early work from around 1965. His paintings from this time, such as "The Real Power" (1965) and "The Need for a Tonga" (1973), demonstrate this modernist influence. Over time, he evolved his artistic approach to focus more on social commentary, as seen in his later works like "Through an Underpass" and "The Foggy Evening" (both 2015), which reflect on everyday life and societal issues. Javed has also experimented with different mediums, including charcoal and calligraphy, notably during General Ziaul Haq's regime (1977-88), a time when many artists explored calligraphy. However, he eventually returned to his foundational modern and stylized approach to art, which remains focused on societal narratives.

Enrique Varela de Seijas

Enrique Varela de Seijas was a Spanish illustrator of the first third of the 20th century and a footballer who was one of the founders of Madrid FC, serving the club as its vice-prisident. Football career Before his role as an illustrator, for which he was remembered, Varela was, together with Julián Palacios and the Padrós brothers (Juan and Carlos), one of the promoters of the foundation of Madrid FC in 1900. The period in which Palacios served as president remains clouded in mystery since some publications sometimes mention Enrique Varela de Seijas, who later became a famous cartoonist and engraver, as president. Although the club was founded in 1900, Madrid FC was not officially established until 6 March 1902, in a meeting held in the back room of Al Capricho, the Padrós family business, in which they formalized the first board of directors with Varela being named the club's first vice president under the presidency of Juan Padrós. When Madrid FC endorsed a tournament in the capital in the May festivities which became known as the Copa de la Coronación, the forerunner of the Copa del Rey founded a year later, Madrid FC organized a series of matches at Tiro del Pichón as part of Madrid's build-up to the tournament, and in March 1902, Varela played in four of these matches, two as a forward and the other two as a midfielder. On 13 April, he participated in another preparatory match, but this time as a referee. On 2 May, Varela went down in history as one of the eleven footballers who played in Madrid's very first match against another team, a friendly match against New just a few days before the Copa de la Coronación. However, he was ultimately not selected for the Madrid squad that played in the Copa de la Coronación. Varela then only played a further three matches for Madrid FC, two of which at the Concurso de Bandas on 25 and 28 December 1902, which were the greatest victories in the club's history, a 16–0 and 19–1 trashings of Moderno FC and Español de Madrid respectively; the goalscorers of these matches, however, remain unknown. His last appearance at the club came in a friendly against Internacional Foot-ball Club on 8 February 1903, which ended in a 4–0 victory. Illustrator career Varela worked with his drawings for magazines such as La Esfera and, in general, for the Prensa Gráfica group. He also collaborated by illustrating books, such as two editions of works by the Valencian Vicente Blasco Ibáñez: La familia del doctor Pedraza (1922) and El rey Lear, impresor (1926), among others. Death Varela died at the beginning of 1930, after suffering a prolonged illness, in Madrid.

He played in the opening three matches between January and February 1901, including two wins over Franco-Española and Tarragona to help his side to a third-place finish behind FC Barcelona and the winners Hispania AC. Montells also played in the following two editions of the competition, scoring once in the second edition in 1901–02 and winning the third in 1902–03, the club's first-ever piece of silverware. In total, he played 16 matches in the Copa Macaya. Together with Ponz, Carril, Benigno Belauste, Emilio Sampere, and Gustavo Green, he was part of the team that won the first edition of the Campionat de Catalunya in 1903–04. On 24 September 1903, Montells participated in a test match between a white and a red team made up of players who were playing in Barcelona, which was meant to decide who would integrate the first team of the Catalonia national team the following year. Death Montells died in Barcelona on 30 July 1904, at the young age of just 21, when he was still an active player and was occupying the position of accountant in the club. According to the newspapers of the time "Enrique, strong as an athlete and in the fullest vigor of a flowery youth, had his life robbed from him in just a few days by a treacherous illness.

Idiji Glacier

Idiji Glacier is one of several glaciers draining the eastern side of the Mount Edziza ice cap in northwestern British Columbia, Canada. It is located south of the summit of Mount Edziza in a cirque just southeast of Ice Peak. Idiji Glacier is separated from the much larger Tencho Glacier by a ridge that extends south of Ice Peak above the Idiji cirque headwall. The name of the glacier was suggested by the Geological Survey of Canada on November 15, 1979, and eventually became official on November 24, 1980. Idiji means it thunders in the Tahltan language, which refers to the loud noises stemming from this very active glacier. At the head of Idiji Glacier are rocks assigned to the upper assemblage of the Ice Peak Formation. They consist of trachyte, benmoreite, mugearite, tristanite, trachybasalt and alkali basalt that are in the form of lava flows, lava domes and pyroclastic breccia. Bedded, lacustrine tuff and epiclastic debris exposed in a rock spur on the north side of Idiji Glacier was deposited in a now-destroyed summit crater, of which Ice Peak is a remnant of the western crater rim.

Tamir Granot

Tamir Granot (born 1970) is an Israeli Orthodox Jewish rabbi and author and the Rosh Yeshiva of Yeshivat Orot Shaul, a hesder yeshiva located in southern Tel Aviv. He is also an expert on Jewish thought regarding the Holocaust. Early life and education Granot was born in Ramat Gan and grew up in Kiryat Motzkin. For high school he attended Yeshivat Bnei Akiva Netiv Meir in Jerusalem. Afterwards, he began studying at Yeshivat Har Etzion in Alon Shevut, where he was a student of Rabbi Yehuda Amital and Rabbi Aharon Lichtenstein. He studied there for nine years. During this time he also received a degree in education from Michlalah Jerusalem. He completed his master's degree in Jewish philosophy at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, in parallel to his Torah studies, as well as his doctorate, which dealt with the rise of Hasidism after the Holocaust, focusing on Yekusiel Yehudah Halberstam, the Rebbe of Sanz-Klausenburg. Career In the late 1990s, Granot began teaching at Herzog College in Alon Shevut and at Lifshitz College of Education in Jerusalem. He has taught gemara and Jewish thought at Midreshet Lindenbaum in Jerusalem and Migdal Oz in Gush Etzion. In 2006 he established the "Beit Midrash for Army Veterans" in Katzrin together with Itamar Alder and Moshe Egozi and, alongside them, stood at its head for four years. In 2010, Granot founded the communal "Beit Midrash for Torah and Life" in Haspin, which he headed. In 2013, he became a Rosh Yeshiva at the Orot Shaul Hesder Yeshiva, a position he still holds together with Yuval Cherlow and Itamar Alder. His Torah articles have been published in Megadim, Tevunot and Netuim. He also has a set column of writings on the weekly parshah in the Shabbat edition of the Israeli newspaper Makor Rishon. On March 12, 2024, he delivered a speech regarding the lack of Haredi contribution to the Israeli army, a historically controversial issue in Israeli society, titled על גיוס בני הישיבות - קריאה לראשון לציון הרב יצחק יוסף שליט"א (Regarding the Enlistment of Yeshiva Students - A Call to the Rishon L'Tziyon, Rabbi Yitzchak Yosef shlit"a). During the Israel-Hamas War, there has been increased desire for Haredi participation in the army. Yosef wrote, "If [the government] forces us to go to the army, we’ll all move to chutz la'aretz (outside of Israel)". Granot's son had been killed towards the beginning of the war, and the call sought to bridge the gaps between communtieies, consistent with Rabbi Granot's work to promote unity among the people of Israel. The speech was published via Yeshivat Orot Shaul's YouTube page. Jewish theology regarding the Holocaust One of Granot's main areas of focus is that of Jewish thought regarding the Holocaust. Over the course of two years he produced a series of articles on the topic on the Virtual Beit Midrash of Yeshivat Har Etzion. These articles were complied into a book titled Emunah V'adam L'nochach HaShoah (Faith and Man in the Face of the Holocaust), published in 2013. Granot has explored the world of Hasidic music during and after the Holocaust, which culminated with his initiation of the "Music which Rose from the Ashes" Project - a show in which he, together with the band HaLev V'HaMaayan, teach and perform various songs that accompanied the Jews in those years. In 2014, the album I'll wait for him - a tune that emerged from the Shoah (Hebrew: אחכה לו - ניגון שעלה מן השואה) was published, which helps to preserve those tunes. Rabbi Granot has also produced other Jewish music as well. Personal life He is married to Avivit Ben-Yosef, daughter of David Ben-Yosef, an Israeli educator and author. His son, Amitai Granot, commander of the 75th Battalion of the IDF's Golan Brigade was killed by a Hezbollah missile attack on an IDF post bordering Lebanon on October 15 during the 2023 Israel-Hezbollah conflict, following the October 7 Hamas-led attack and massacre. Published works The book deals with the difficult and complex encounter between the Holocaust and religious belief. The first volume of the book deals with the philosophy and theology and brings a variety of religious sources. The second volume includes sermons, essays and descriptions of meetings to accompany the reader. A book that offers a systematic approach to the question of the novelty and meaning of the book of Deuteronomy through a new reading by derech hapshat of the majority of its passages. It has a detailed interpretation and explanation of the entire book, comparisons to the other books of the Torah. The book also discusses the relevant messages for the contemporary member of Am Yisrael. Hasidic articles on the weekly parshah and the holidays, based on the derashot from the book "Mei HaShiloach".

Tree of Liberty (symbol)

The Tree of Liberty has been a symbol of freedom since the French Revolution. As a tree of life, it also symbolizes continuity, growth, strength and power. In the 19th century, it became one of the symbols of the French Republic, along with the Marianne and the sower. Since 1999, it has been featured on French one-euro and two-euro coins. Planted, generally in the busiest, most visible spot in a locality, as signs of joy and symbols of emancipation, these plants were to grow with the new institutions. Origins The custom of planting trees as a sign of popular joy is immemorial. It is found among the Gauls and Romans alike. The precursor of these trees was the maypole, which was planted in many places to celebrate the arrival of spring. In Paris, until the end of the Ancien régime, the clerics of the Basoche planted a rootless tree in the palace courtyard every year, providing the occasion for a celebrated celebration. The first person in France to plant a Tree of Liberty, even several years before the Revolution, was Count Camille d'Albon, in 1782, in the gardens of his Franconville home, as a tribute to William Tell. Trees of liberty during the French Revolution The first trees: 1789–1791 At the time of the Revolution, in imitation of what had been done in the United States following the War of Independence with the Liberty poles, the custom was introduced in France of ceremoniously planting a young poplar tree in French communes. The example was set in 1790 by the parish priest of Saint-Gaudent, in the Vienne department, who had an oak tree transplanted from the nearby forest into the middle of his village square. The impetus of 1792 The planting of Tree of Libertys multiplied in the spring and summer of 1792: France, at war with Austria, was seized by a patriotic impulse, and the defense of the homeland became synonymous with that of the conquests of the Revolution. The tree thus became a powerful symbol of the revolutionary ideal. The poplar was preferred to the oak, and in early 1792, Lille, Auxerre and other towns planted Tree of Libertys. A few months later, more than sixty thousand of these trees were erected in all the communes of France, according to Abbé Grégoire. According to the Marquis de Villette, Paris had over two hundred. Louis XVI himself presided over the erection of one of these trees in the Tuileries gardens, but it was felled in Pluviôse year II "in hatred of the tyrant". At the time of the King's trial, which led to his conviction, Barère de Vieuzac went so far as to paraphrase Thomas Jefferson, declaring: "The tree of liberty could not grow if it were not watered with the blood of kings". Inauguration The planting of the Tree of Libertys was a very solemn affair, always accompanied by ceremonies and popular rejoicings in which all the authorities, magistrates, administrators and even the clergy, priests, constitutional bishops and even generals took part in the same patriotic enthusiasm. Adorned with flowers, tricolor ribbons, flags and cartouches with patriotic mottos, these trees served as stations, like altars of the fatherland, for processions and civic celebrations, along with many others. Importance and care Tree of Libertys were considered public monuments. Maintained by the inhabitants with religious care, the slightest mutilation would have been considered a desecration. Inscriptions in verse and prose, couplets and patriotic stanzas attested to the local population's veneration for these revolutionary emblems. Special laws protected their consecration. A decree of the Convention ordered that the tree of liberty and the altar of the fatherland, overturned on March 27, 1793, in the department of Tarn, would be re-established at the expense of those who had destroyed them. A large number of Tree of Libertys, uprooted in the midst of their growth, having dried up, the Convention ordered, by a decree of January 22, 1794, that "in all the communes of the Republic where the tree of liberty has perished, another will be planted by the 1st of Germinal". It entrusted this planting and its upkeep to the care of citizens, so that in each commune "the tree would flourish under the aegis of French liberty". The same law ordered that a tree be planted in the Tuileries Garden by the orphans of the defenders of the fatherland. Other decrees prescribed penalties for those who destroyed or mutilated the trees of liberty. New trees were then planted, but despite all the surveillance they were subjected to, many were destroyed by counter-revolutionaries, who sawed them down or sprayed vitriol on their roots at night. These attacks were keenly felt by the people, who worshipped these plantations; the laws often punished them with the utmost severity, and death sentences were even handed down to the perpetrators. In Bédoin, Vaucluse, 63 people were executed, 500 houses razed to the ground for failing to report those guilty of uprooting such a tree, and farmland sterilized with salt. Three peasants from La Versanne who cut down a tree were guillotined in Lyon, and a miller from Mas-Grenier was also guillotined in Toulouse for the same offence. On the other hand, the revolutionary Marie Joseph Chalier planned to use a large ditch around the Tree of Liberty to smoke the blood of the guillotine victims on Pont Moraud in Lyon. These kinds of offenses were very common under the Thermidorian reaction. For example, on June 8, 1794, the patron saint's day in Hirsingue, some of the town's inhabitants cut down their tree. As a result, on the orders of Nicolas Hentz and Jean-Marie-Claude-Alexandre Goujon, representatives on mission to the Army of the Rhine, General Dièche ordered the arrest and detention in Besançon of all constitutional priests in the Rhine departments (Haut-Rhin, Bas-Rhin and Mont-Terrible) (they were released after Thermidor 9), and the destruction of the church. On March 31, 1794, in Clermont, Michel Fauré was guillotined for uprooting a tree and shouting "Long live the King". The Directoire saw to the replacement of those that had been knocked down, but Bonaparte soon ceased to maintain them, and even had some of those that had sprung up in various parts of Paris cut down. Under the Consulate, all these laws fell into disuse, and the Tree of Libertys that survived the Republican government lost their political character. But popular tradition preserved the memory of their origins. Distribution outside France The soldiers of the Republic planted Tree of Libertys in every country they crossed. In a collection of Marceau's unpublished letters, published by Hippolyte Maze, the young republican general wrote to Jourdan on October 27, 1794: "that the tree of liberty was planted yesterday in Coblence in front of the Elector's palace". Similarly, during the French occupation of Switzerland, many trees were planted as a sign of allegiance to France, only to be uprooted when the country's armies left. The mother country's example was followed even in the colonies, where they were even planted at slave markets. Napoleon Bonaparte went so far as to plant one in Milan, although the reaction of the population was more mixed, going so far as to uproot the tree and justify violent repression. Other trees were planted in the colonies (in Pondicherry) and in foreign countries: a Freedom Palm in Shanghai by Sun Yat-sen in 1912. The fate of Tree of Libertys in the 19th century Felling during the Restoration When the Bourbons returned, there were still a large number of Tree of Libertys throughout France, which had been called Napoleon trees under the Empire. Louis XVIII's government issued strict orders to uproot these last emblems of the Revolution. Most of these trees were cut down or uprooted under the Restoration, making them a rarity in towns and cities, although they could still be seen in rural communities. Renewal After the Three Glorious Years, a few communes still planted new Tree of Libertys, but enthusiasm soon waned, and few were planted. Not so after the February Revolution of 1848, when the practice was renewed. The provisional authorities did not fail to encourage the planting of Tree of Libertys, and the clergy was more than willing to bless them. One of Louis-Philippe I's former ministers even offered a sapling from his Paris park to plant outside his door, with the inscription: "Jeune, tu grandiras" ("Young, you'll grow"). Some towns, such as Bayeux, still have a tree of liberty in full vigor today. A violent reaction led to the cutting down of almost all the Tree of Libertys in Paris at the beginning of 1850, by order of Police Prefect Carlier, and nearly caused bloodshed in the streets of the capital. However, in the opinion of a Legitimist newspaper, "the Tree of Libertys caused very little inconvenience to passers-by, and we fail to see how the men of order could be upset by these symbols. A tree offers a beautiful image of freedom without violence, and can in no way threaten ideas of social inequality, since in the development of a plant all branches are unequal precisely because they are free". The return of the Republic in 1870 was an opportunity to plant new trees. However, the context (the Franco-Prussian War of 1870, then the Paris Commune, and finally the conservative Republic) did not lend itself to this. Plantings were more frequent in 1889 (centenary of the storming of the Bastille), then in 1892 (centenary of the First French Republic). Other trees were planted in 1919–1920, to celebrate the victory of the right and the liberation of Alsace and Moselle, and others in 1944–1945, to mark the Liberation. Other anniversaries (1939, 1948, 1989) are celebrated on other occasions. A new tree is sometimes replanted when the old one dies. As in the past, they sometimes receive a lukewarm reception. Other uses Today, the Tree of Liberty appears in a highly stylized form, but as the main motif on French €1 and €2 coins, and on the logo of the French political party, the UMP. Design for French €1 and €2 coins The Tree of Liberty, also known as the Starry Tree design, is the obverse of the €1 and €2 coins, created by Joaquin Jimenez in 1999. The tree, whose branches, roots and trunk (encircled by the initials R and F) radiate out from a hexagon representing the French territory, is framed by the motto Liberté, égalité, fraternité written in all caps; the whole is surrounded by a circle of twelve stars. According to its author, this new tree of liberty symbolizes a France whose roots and branches, turned towards the stars of Europe, tell its story and bear witness to its openness and growth. For the author, this new tree of liberty is the ideal subject to illustrate the French motto, as Victor Hugo made clear in his speech on March 2, 1848, a century and a half before the design was created. UMP political party logo The tree of liberty adopted by the Union pour un mouvement populaire (UMP), a French political party of the center and right, thus appears on its logo. It is white between blue and red in the center of the logo, echoing the three colors of the French flag, and features an oak or apple tree, typical trees of the French terroir and "fetishes" of the French right. The oak, the tree of freedom par excellence, symbolizes in European culture durability, virility, power, stability and unity. The day after his death, Charles de Gaulle was depicted as a felled oak in a front-page drawing by Jacques Faizant in Le Figaro (November 11, 1970). As for the apple tree, it was one of the symbols of Jacques Chirac's campaign for election to the presidency of the French Republic in 1995. The apple tree, along with the apple, represented the fruits of France. Whatever the species of tree, the symbolism of the Tree of Liberty is based on the universal values and humanist principles of the French Republic. For historian Bernard Richard, "it could be said that it has taken the place occupied on the RPR 'logo' by the cross of Lorraine, which some people find annoying, or the Phrygian bonnet, which already offended some Gaullist deputies".
