"Public land state"
],
[
"Introduction",
"In the United States, a '''public land state''' is a U.S. state in which all lands were originally public lands owned by the United States federal government, which later transferred them to private ownership – or to the ownership of state or local governments – through land grants.",
"By contrast, a '''private land state''' (also called a '''non-public land state''' or a '''state land state''') is a U.S. state in which the federal government is not the original land-owner.",
"In public land states, the federal government owns a significant proportion of the state's public lands; in private land states, federal land holdings are generally more limited, comprising lands acquired through purchase, donation or eminent domain for such purposes as military bases, federal office buildings, national parks, etc, and public lands are more frequently under the ownership of state or local governments.Public land states are those created from the Northwest Territory ceded to the U.S. from Great Britain after the Revolutionary War; the Louisiana Purchase; and the western territories acquired from Mexico after the end of the Mexican War.Private land states include the original 13 states that achieved independence after the American Revolution, as well as the states of Vermont and Texas (which were both sovereign republics at the time of their admission to the Union), Kentucky and Tennessee (both ceded from lands claimed by the original states of Virginia and North Carolina, respectively), Maine and West Virginia (carved directly from the original states of Massachusetts and Virginia), and Hawaii.",
"The Federal Government did not issue land grants in those locations, and hence the National Archives (which holds the records of the United States General Land Office) does not hold any land grant records for them.",
"Land grant records for private land states are generally found in state government archives.",
"Although classified as a private land state by the federal government, some sources however refer to Texas as a \"public land state\", on the grounds that a significant proportion of state lands are owned by the state government; these lands were originally Mexican public lands, ownership of which was claimed by the Republic of Texas upon its independence from Mexico.",
"The Bureau of Land Management divides public land states into two groups, Eastern and Western, whose records are maintained separately.",
"The Eastern public land states are defined as Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Ohio, and Wisconsin, while the Western public land states are Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming."

"Ancient Jewish art"
],
[
"Introduction",
"Ciborium of the Holy Ark of the synagogue of Doura Europos.",
"'''Ancient Jewish art''', refers to Jewish art created prior to the middle ages.",
"characterized by symbolic or figurative motifs, with portrayals often influenced by biblical themes, Judaism as well as the local power of the time be they the Egyptians or the Hellenistic and later Roman empires.",
"Concentrated in the Levant region, during the second Temple period and in late antiquity, the biblical commandment avoidance of figurative or symbolic painting was gradually ignored in part due to the influence of Christianity.",
"Symbols such as the Menorah served as both artistic as well as national symbols of Jewish identity, growing more acute after the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem."
],
[
"Outline",
"In the Second Temple period, Jewish art, both in the Land of Israel and the diaspora, was characterized by a marked avoidance of figurative or symbolic motifs.",
"Adhering to the Biblical commandment against creating graven images (Exodus 20:4; Deuteronomy 5:8), the predominant artistic themes were geometric, floral, and architectural.",
"Symbols such as the menorah and the shewbread table were used sparingly, primarily as representations of priestly duties.",
"This approach was partly in response to Hellenistic rulers' efforts to impose idolatry, which threatened Jewish religion and cultureA significant shift occurred in Jewish artistic expression during Late Antiquity, when Jews began incorporating symbolic motifs in their synagogal and funerary art.",
"This change was not only evident in the variety of contexts and localities but also in the diverse range of objects that featured these symbols.",
"The repertoire of symbols, initially limited, expanded over time.This change in artistic expression was influenced by the rise of Christianity and its establishment as the official religion of the Roman Empire.",
"The new religious landscape presented a challenge to Judaism, necessitating a shift in cultural representation.",
"The Jews began to use specific symbols in their art as a means of expressing and affirming their Jewish identity.",
"These symbols included the menorah, the shewbread table, the ark, ritual objects, and the conch.",
"Originally part of the Temple rites, these symbols held significant meaning and became a prominent feature in Jewish art of the period.",
"They served not only as religious symbols but also as emblems of national and communal identity.The menorah's evolution is understood as a key example of this transition.",
"Initially a sign of priestly roles during the Second Temple period, the menorah transformed into a widely recognized symbol of Jewish identity after the Temple's destruction."
],
[
"Motives",
"=== Menorah ===The menorah, a seven-armed candelabrum originally used in the Temple, is a central symbol in Judaism, frequently depicted to signify synagogues or Jewish burial sites.",
"Often accompanied by other ritual objects such as the lulav, etrog, shofar, and flask, its symbolic importance is so profound that it was chosen as the national emblem of modern Israel.",
"Described in the Bible (Exodus 25:31-40; 37:17-24), the menorah has a central shaft with six branches extending from it.The origin of the menorah as a Jewish symbol is debated.",
"It was a dominant symbol in Jewish art both in Israel and the diaspora.",
"The menorah gained prominence from the third to fourth centuries, helping to differentiate Jews from Christians.",
"In the diaspora, it symbolized Jewish identity, possibly as a response to living outside Israel, and was depicted at synagogues and catacombs.",
"Post the destruction of the Temple, the menorah symbolized the Temple itself and Judaism, distinguishing Jewish places from Christian or pagan ones.Scholars debate its meaning, particularly the significance of its seven branches.",
"Some suggest they represent the seven planets or days of the week, symbolizing a divine light or a ritual calendar.",
"The menorah was used in daily rituals in both the Temple and synagogues, with its lighting pattern reflecting the weekly Sabbath cycle.In Late Antiquity, the menorah was a prominent symbol in diaspora synagogues, often found in various artistic forms.",
"Inscriptions from Side in Pamphylia and Sardis mention donations of menorahs to these synagogues.Menoroth were painted in the wall paintings at the Dura Europos synaoguge.",
"Mosaics with menorahs were also discovered in diaspora locations such as Apaemea, Bova Marina, Hamam-Lif, and Philippopolis.",
"Reliefs, engravings and incisions featuring menorahs were found at Ostia, Priene, Sardis and Stobi.",
"Menoroth were also found on architectural and stone fragmenets at Acmonia, Aphordisias, Athens, Bithynion-Caludiopolis, Corinth, Nicaea, Pergamon, Porto (Italy) and Tarragona.=== Shewbread Table ===The shewbread table, a key Temple vessel, is depicted in various Jewish art forms.",
"Described in Exodus as a golden table for shewbread, it's one of three central Temple vessels.",
"Its earliest representations include coins from Mattathias Antigonus's reign (40-37 BCE) and a Jerusalem house's plastered wall.",
"In diaspora art, the shewbread table appears notably on the Arch of Titus, depicted as a heavy, rectangular table with animal feet and two cups on top, carried by eight bearers.",
"Additionally, two trumpets are shown crossed on it.",
"At Dura Europos, a gold, round table with molded legs is painted, resembling three-legged stone tables from Second Temple Jerusalem.",
"This round table style also appears in the Callistus catacomb.",
"There's debate among scholars about its depiction on Bar Kokhba coins and in the Dura synagogue.",
"After the Second Temple period, its appearances are rare but notable, like in the Qasrin synagogue lintel, a mosaic in a fifth-century Sepphoris synagogue showing a round, three-legged table with twelve loaves, and a similar depiction in a fourth-century Samaritan synagogue at el-Hirbeh.",
"These various depictions, particularly the round, three-legged tables in Dura, Sepphoris, and el-Hirbeh, suggest a common source, possibly a Jewish pattern book, in contrast to the Arch of Titus's rectangular table, which aligns more closely with the Biblical description.=== Ritual Objects ===In Late Antiquity Jewish art, four ritual objects - the lulav, ethrog, shofar, and flask - commonly appear alongside the menorah.",
"These objects are associated with Sukkoth, the Feast of the Tabernacles, a significant festival during the Second Temple period.",
"This festival, marking the final harvest of the year, was one of the three annual pilgrimages in the Jerusalem Temple.Diaspora Jewish art differs from that in the Land of Israel; for instance, the flask in diaspora art replaces the incense shovel found in Israel.",
"Additionally, Torah scrolls emerge as a unique element in diaspora art, while the hanging lamp, prevalent in Israeli Jewish art, is absent in the diaspora.Common combinations of these ritual objects in synagogue mosaics and reliefs include the lulav, ethrog, shofar, and flask; the lulav, ethrog, and shofar; the lulav and ethrog; and the lulav and shofar.=== The Temple, the Ark of the Scrolls, and the Ark of the Covenant ===Mordecai and EstherIn diaspora Jewish art, images of structures are depicted on wall paintings, tombstones, gold glasses, and clay lamps.",
"These images represent the Temple in Jerusalem, the Ark of the Scrolls, aediculae, and the Ark of the Covenant, each differing in form and design to signify their unique identifications and functions.At Dura Europos, the Temple is portrayed on the Torah shrine's facade, featuring a tetrastyle sanctuary with fluted columns and a double door, symbolizing the Temple in Jerusalem.",
"This design is compared to similar ones on Bar Kokhba coins.",
"A gold glass depicts a tetrastyle gabled shrine within a peristyle court, resembling the Dura Europos design but also showing features of the Jerusalem Temple.The Torah Shrine, found in diaspora art such as a fourth-century funerary plaque from Malaga, usually consists of double columns supporting a conch-decorated arch.",
"Few examples exist, but those that do often include a menorah or other Jewish symbols.The Ark of the Scrolls housed Torah scrolls within the Torah shrine.",
"Its depiction varies but generally includes an open-door ark with scrolls on shelves.",
"Diaspora examples often show an open ark, contrasting with closed-door types common in the Land of Israel.",
"The ark is sometimes flanked by menorahs, ritual objects, and animals in various art forms.At Dura-Europos, the Ark of the Covenant appears as a tall, arched-top chest in several panels.",
"Its depictions differ from the Ark of the Scrolls, representing a separate entity historically used to contain the Tablets of the Law and not present in the Second Temple."

"Vale Circuit"
],
[
"Introduction",
"The '''Vale Circuit''' was a temporary motor racing circuit located on the outskirts of Bathurst, New South Wales, Australia.",
"Predominantly used for motorcycle racing, it is considered the precursor to the Mount Panorama Circuit despite not being located on the same site."
],
[
"History",
"The circuit was the fourth iteration of a temporary motorcycle racing venue in the Central Tablelands, with the previous 100km-long \"Sunny Corner\" loop based in Lithgow (used between 1926 and 1930) derided by police for being unmanageable.",
"The 11.5km anticlockwise layout was based on the main thoroughfare from Bathurst to Goulburn, and followed a series of narrow, corrugated gravel tracks across Mount Tamar including two timber bridges over Vale Creek – the only section of bitumen was a 100m strip used by the Bathurst Sale Yards that was turned into a makeshift pit/paddock area.The first event, held on Easter weekend in 1931, was the NSW Grand Prix.",
"Abercrombie Shire Council refused to completely shut the main road that traversed the circuit, and roped off one lane to allow local traffic to flow aided by a motorcycle-mounted marshal – in later years, an earth bank was used to demarcate the section used for racing.",
"40 riders contested their choice of three races; Don Bain winning the Junior GP on a Velocette, Gus Clifton the Senior GP on a Rudge, and Wally James the Unlimited TT handicap race on a Scott.",
"Interstate riders from Victoria and Queensland made their mark on the subsequent two events, with Victorians Jimmie Pringle and George Hannaford winning the Senior titles in 1932 and 1933 respectively – the latter awarded the title of Australian Grand Prix.With the event christened the Australian TT for 1934, races switched to running the circuit in a clockwise direction as riders were being blinded by a combination of the setting sun and the heavy dust kicked up by competitors running the opposite direction.",
"The circuit's upgraded status led to an influx of interstate riders and the addition of a 250cc class to the Junior GP – Art Senior claimed his first Vale victory in the Junior, and interstate riders Curley Anderson and Pringle finishing 1–2 in the Senior.Heavy rain resulted in the 1935 event run in muddy conditions.",
"Circuit safety was improved with the installation of a PA system and a field telephone for marshals to communicate, however local opposition to the race from residents and police was growing.",
"A concerted push from local businesses eager keep trading in the aftermath of the Great Depression and the reinstatement of the Australian TT title kept the event going for another year, however a combination of increasing speeds, further deterioration of the racing surface, the ever-present threat of dust, the divided main road and the construction of the Mount Panorama Circuit led to authorities proclaiming that the 1937 event would be the last.",
"Bain, a four-time winner of the Junior TT, took the final Senior title as Art Senior claimed the track record."

"It opened on 17 August 1924 and was known as the Military Stadium.",
"The track was 500 metres long due to the needs of the military for horse riding but it had a main athletics track, in addition to two training fields.",
"The sports club Gryf Toruń used the stadium, as did TKS Toruń, who played Polish football league matches there.=== 1945 to 2008 ===After World War II, the stadium was no longer needed for military needs and in 1950, it was first used as a motorcycle speedway venue.",
"Previously the Toruń speedway team had used the Municipal Stadium at ul.",
"Sportowa.",
"In 1957, due to regulatory requirements, a major renovation took place and the new facilities opened on 20 October 1957.The stadium was now named after Zbigniew Raniszewski, a Polish speedway rider who lost his life in a race in Vienna on 21 April 1956.The stadium was a significant venue for speedway and hosted important events, including a qualifying round of the Speedway World Championship in 1985, a qualifying round of the Speedway World Team Cup in 1993, and a semi-final of the Speedway World Pairs Championship in 1987.In 1994, the stadium was renamed again, taking the name of Marian Rose (another rider killed in a race) at the Stal Rzeszów Municipal Stadium on 19 April 1970.The KS Apator Toruń speedway team won the league championship while based at the stadium in 1986 and 1990.Plans for a new speedway stadium arose in 2008 and the last league match held at the KS Apator Stadium was a Team Speedway Polish Championship match against Unia Leszno during the 2008 season, played on 19 October.",
"A few days later, on 25 October the stadium hosted the final of the Pomeranian Youth League before being sold by the city for PLN 60,270,000 to developers, who in turn built the Toruń Plaza shopping center on the site."

],
[
"Background",
"After stopping Sam Sexton to add the British title to the Commonwealth belt he had won against Danny Williams, Derek Chisora was set to face unified IBF, WBO, IBO, Lineal and ''Ring'' magazine heavyweight champion, Wladimir Klitschko on 11 December 2010, at the SAP Arena, in Mannheim, but Klitschko pulled out of the fight three days prior, after suffering a torn abdominal muscle.",
"The fight was postponed and later rearranged for 30 April 2011, with Klitschko once again pulling out of the fight due to not being fully recovered from his injury, and the bout was ultimately cancelled so Klitschko could fight a unification match against WBA heavyweight champion David Haye on 2 July.On 11 February 2011, the British Boxing Board of Control installed undefeated prospect Tyson Fury as mandatory challenger for the British title.",
"In April 2011, Fury's promotional company, Hennessy Sports, won the purse bid to stage the contest.",
"It was announced on 23 May that Chisora face Fury on 23 July 23 at Wembley Arena, the bookies had Chisora as a slight favourite."

"Carlo d'Aquino"
],
[
"Introduction",
"'''Carlo d'Aquino''' (15 April 165417 May 1737) was an Italian jesuit and scholar.",
"He was one of the most prominent Dante scholars of his generation."
],
[
"Biography",
"Carlo d'Aquino was born at Naples in the year 1654.He was the son of Bartolomeo, prince of Caramanico, and of Barbara Stampa, a Milanese lady of the family of the marquises of Soncino.",
"He entered the Jesuit Order at the age of fifteen, became professor of rhetoric and prefect of the studies at the Roman College, was afterwards secretary of the same establishment, and after a life spent in literary employment and learned ease at Rome and Tivoli died on 17 May 1737, at the age of 83.He was a member of the Academy of Arcadia in Rome under the pseudonym of Alcone Sirio.His works, which are numerous, procured him a high reputation, both as a Latin and Italian writer.",
"The earlier chiefly consist of works of polite literature, and the later of dictionaries.",
"His three volumes of “Carmina,” published at Rome, the first in 1701 and the last in 1703, contain many pieces which had previously appeared in a separate shape.",
"The first volume is occupied with six books of epigrams, one book of miscellanies, and a serious parody on the odes attributed to Anacreon, under the title of “Anacreon Recantatus.” In the first ode the poet’s lyre, instead of declining, like Anacreon’s, to sing anything but love, refuses to celebrate aught save religion; the second, instead of asserting the irresistibility of woman, proclaims the invincibility of faith.",
"The author afterwards published a translation of these compositions into Italian at Rome in 1726, under the title of “Palinodie Anacreontiche”.",
"The second volume of the “Carmina” commences with two books of Heroica, one of which, on the coronation of James II of England, contains a passage alluding to one of his predecessors that might almost be deemed prophetic of his successor:The character of another which follows, a “Genethliacus” in honour of the birth of King James’s ill-fated son, is singular.",
"Sedition is represented as having formed, for the purpose of preventing the king from having a catholic heir, an enchanted image composed of the ashes of the “heretic rebels,” who had been punished for opposing James; but the charm is thwarted by the counter-influence of the image of an infant in solid gold, which James’s wife, the queen of England, presents, as it is an historical fact that she did, to the Virgin of Loreto.",
"The “Heroica” are succeeded by two books of elegies, and one of lyrics, and the third volume is occupied with twelve satires.",
"The “Orationes” of D’Aquino (2 vols., Rome, 1704) also comprise many pieces which had appeared separately.",
"The most interesting is that pronounced on occasion of the funeral obsequies celebrated in honour of James II, by command of Cardinal Barberini, in the Basilica of San Lorenzo fuori le mura at Rome.",
"The work in which this was first printed, “Sacra Exequialia, in Funere Jacobi II.",
"Magnæ Britanniæ Regis, descripta a Carolo de Aquino,” (Rome, 1702) is adorned with numerous plates of the funeral trophies; it was never for sale, and is mentioned by David Clement as very rare, but a copy is in the British Museum.",
"The “Miscellaneorum Libri III.” (Rome, 1725) contain some very miscellaneous critical and philological remarks on ancient and modern authors.",
"The “Fragmenta Historica de Bello Hungarico” (Rome, 1726) is a specimen of a work on the wars of Hungary, begun at the recommendation of Nicola Avancini, a Jesuit connected with the imperial court, who promised to supply materials, and broken off on Avancini’s death.",
"In 1728 was published the greatest poetical work of D’Aquino, “Commedia di Dante Alighieri trasportata in Verso Latino Eroico,” a translation of the “Divine Comedy” into Latin language.",
"It is said, in the Florence edition of Dante’s works published in 1830, to be “reputed faithful and elegant,” but Antonio Catellacci, in the preface to his own Latin version of the “Inferno,” published in 1819, accuses it of being a free paraphrase, too distant both from the meaning and the expression of the original.",
"A few of the severest passages against the Roman Curia are omitted, but D’Aquino could not obtain free permission to publish it in that city, in which no edition of Dante had till then appeared.",
"It was nevertheless printed at Rome by Bernabò Rocco, and with the sanction of the master of the sacred palace, but bore on its title-page the imprint of Naples.",
"The Latin was accompanied with the original text, as had also been the case with a little work of the Similes of Dante translated, which was published as a preliminary specimen.The remainder of D’Aquino’s works are dictionaries.",
"They are:* “Lexicon Militare,” two vols, folio, Rome, 1724, with an octavo volume of additions, Rome, 1727;* “Vocabularium Architecturæ Ædificatoriæ,” Rome, 1735;* “Nomenclator Agriculturæ,” Rome, 1736.The “Lexicon Militare” is learned, but so overloaded with irrelevant matter that it has been said one volume out of the three would fully contain all that really relates to the subject.",
"It abounds with quotations from Ariosto, Tasso, Boiardo, Pulci, and even Petrarch; but the statement copied by Mazzucchelli from the “Histoire Litteraire d’Europe” that these are accompanied with Latin translations by D’Aquino is incorrect.",
"The “Vocabularium Architecturæ” is favourably noticed by Angelo Comolli, and that and the “Nomenclator Agriculturæ” appear to be comparatively free from extraneous learning."

"Art of the Jewish people"
],
[
"Introduction",
"The '''art of the Jewish people''' refers to all art forms including visual plastic arts, ancient Jewish art, modern Jewish art and to some extent Israeli art practiced or created by the Jewish people.",
"Jewish art can first be referred to in the ancient Israelite and Hebrew culture in the Levant, which evolved through the Second Temple period and later the Mishnaic and Talmudic periods, with Jews continuing to produce art through out the millennia, including in the diaspora.",
"Until the emancipation, Jewish art was mostly centered around religious practices and rituals.",
"Following the emancipation in the early modern period, Jewish artists, notably in Europe began to explore different themes, with different levels of connection to religious art.",
"Notably, Jews in France, some of whom from fleeing from Eastern Europe, produced at times modernist art of completely secular nature.",
"Later in the first half of the 20th century, a group composed mainly of these Eastern European Jews fleeing from persecution were known as the School of Paris.",
"From the late to mid 20th century, following the holocaust and the immigration of Jews to modern Israel and the holocaust, Israel reemerged as a center of Jewish art while Europe declined in its importance as a centre of Jewish culture."
],
[
"Second Temple and late antiquity",
"Mordecai and Esther, Dura-Europos Synagogue, ancient SyriaIn the Second Temple period, Jewish art was heavily influenced by the Biblical injunction against graven images, leading to a focus on geometric, floral, and architectural motifs rather than figurative or symbolic representations.",
"This artistic restraint was a response to the Hellenistic cultural pressures that threatened Jewish religious practices, notably the imposition of idolatry.",
"Symbolic elements like the menorah and the shewbread table were sparingly used, primarily reflecting their significance in priestly duties.However, the rise of Christianity and its establishment as the dominant religion of the Roman Empire marked a turning point in Jewish artistic expression.",
"This period, known as Late Antiquity, witnessed Jewish communities gradually incorporating symbolic motifs into their synagogal and funerary art.",
"The expansion of these symbols beyond the menorah and the shewbread table to include other ritual objects and emblems signified a broader expression of Jewish identity.",
"This shift in cultural representation aimed to affirm Jewish faith and community following the rise of Christian dominance in the Mediterranean region, making symbols like the menorah emblematic of national identity as well as religious faith.David anointed king by Samuel, Dura-Europos Synagogue, ancient SyriaThe menorah, initially a representation of priestly duties in the Second Temple, evolved into a central symbol of Jewish identity, especially after the Temple's destruction.",
"Its depiction in Jewish art, ranging from synagogue mosaics to catacombs, signified not only the religious importance of the Temple but also served as a distinguishing marker of Jewish places of worship and burial.",
"Scholars debate the menorah's symbolism, with interpretations ranging from its seven branches representing divine light, the seven planets, or the days of the week, reflecting its integral role in both daily rituals and as a symbol of Judaism itself.The shewbread table, alongside other ritual objects such as the lulav, etrog, shofar, and flask, also played significant roles in Jewish art, marking the continuation of Temple traditions in diaspora communities.",
"These objects, alongside depictions of the Temple, the Ark of the Scrolls, and the Ark of the Covenant, are part of an array of symbols used by Jewish Zodiac Mosaic in Tzippori synagogue, 5th century ADcommunities to express and maintain their religious and cultural identity."

[
"Medieval period",
"Middle Age Rabbinical and Kabbalistic literature also contain textual and graphic art, most famously illuminated haggadahs such as the Sarajevo Haggadah, and other manuscripts like the Nuremberg Mahzor.",
"Some of these were illustrated by Jewish artists and some by Christians; equally some Jewish artists and craftsmen in various media worked on Christian commissions.",
"Outside of Europe, Yemenite Jewish silversmiths developed a distinctive style of finely wrought silver that is admired for its artistry.",
"Johnson again summarizes this sudden change from a limited participation by Jews in visual art (as in many other arts) to a large movement by them into this branch of European cultural life: Again, the arrival of the Jewish artist was a strange phenomenon.",
"It is true that, over the centuries, there had been many animals (though few humans) depicted in Jewish art: lions on Torah curtains, owls on Judaic coins, animals on the Capernaum capitals, birds on the rim of the fountain-basis in the 5th century Naro synagogue in Tunis; there were carved animals, too, on timber synagogues in eastern Europe – indeed the Jewish wood-carver was the prototype of the modern Jewish plastic artist.",
"A book of Yiddish folk-ornament, printed at Vitebsk in 1920, was similar to Chagall's own bestiary.",
"But the resistance of pious Jews to portraying the living human image was still strong at the beginning of the 20th century."

"After the emancipation",
"Napoleon emancipating the Jewish people, 1806, in French reading: Napoleon the great, reestablishing the religion of the IsraelitesPrior to the widespread Emancipation triggered by Napoleon's conquests across Europe, the presence of Jewish secular artists was minimal.",
"However, there were notable figures such as Salomon Adler, an esteemed portrait painter in Milan during the 18th century.",
"The slow engagement of Jews with the visual arts mirrored their limited involvement in European classical music up until the 19th century, a situation that gradually changed with the advent of Modernism in the 20th century.",
"Through out the 19th century more Jews began to practice art, but it was only after World War I that Jewish artistic expression is said to have truly begun to flourish.",
"This burgeoning of Jewish art traced its origins back to the Fifth Zionist Congress in 1901, which hosted an art exhibition featuring works by Jewish artists E.M. Lilien and Hermann Struck, thereby affirming the role of art in Jewish cultural expression.",
"Nadine Nieszawer remarked on this cultural transformation, noting that post-1905, following the first Russian Revolution, Jews began to engage more actively in politics and the arts, marking a significant cultural renaissance, saying: \"Until 1905, Jews were always plunged into their books but from the first Russian Revolution, they became emancipated, committed themselves in politics and became artists.",
"A real Jewish cultural rebirth\".",
".",
"Jews played significant roles within the modern artistic movements of Europe, and although many were part of isolated Jewish communities, their contributions were not confined to Jewish culture alone but were intertwined with the broader cultures of the countries they resided in.",
"Their work and lives represented a blend of Jewish and non-Jewish cultural elements, rather than existing in separate cultural spheres.=== In Eastern Europe ===Early discussions among critics like Majer Bałaban and Abram Efros oscillated between defining Jewish art through the lens of Jewish creativity and considering Jewish artists as integral to the art of their respective countries.",
"This debate was further complicated as Jewish artists, integrating into European artistic circles in the 19th century, began to incorporate Jewish subjects and experiences into their work.",
"Despite these efforts, their manner of representation often borrowed heavily from Christian visual vocabulary, leading to artworks where Jewish themes were depicted through a lens traditionally associated with Christian iconography.This incorporation of Jewish subjects did not result in a distinctively Jewish aesthetic but rather underscored the complexities of identifying what constituted Jewish art.",
"The secular works produced by artists of Jewish origin—ranging from landscapes to portraits—further blurred these distinctions, challenging the notion that an artist's Jewish background alone could imbue their work with a Jewish essence.",
"It was only with the rise of Jewish nationalism at the turn of the 20th century that the discourse surrounding Jewish art took on a more ideological dimension.",
"Jewish genre painting began to emerge as a significant element within the cultural politics of Zionism, depicting the Jewish experience of exile and the longing for a homeland through a narrative that was both culturally specific and also universal.The integration of Jewish artists into the European art scene was is said to have been marked by a dichotomoy: a departure from the confines of their provincial Jewish backgrounds towards a broader artistic and cultural engagement, and a thematic exploration that wove Jewish sensibilities into the broader tapestry of European art.",
"Artists like Maurycy Gottlieb exemplified this dual journey by blending contemporary Jewish life with the heroic imagery of the Jewish Jesus, navigating the delicate balance between Jewish identity and Christian modes of representation.",
"This period saw the laying of thematic foundations for Jewish genre painting, with artists navigating the complexities of representing Jewish themes within a predominantly Christian visual framework.Camille Pissaro, a French Jewish painter, self portrait, Tate BritainBy the early 20th century, Jewish genre painting was attempting to express in art Jewish suffering and aspiration.",
"The works of artists like Szmul Hirszenberg and Maurycy Minkowski, while drawing on the universal moral themes prevalent in Christian visual vocabulary, were deeply rooted in the Jewish experience.",
"These artists managed to convey the trials of Jewish life with a depth of emotion that transcended cultural boundaries, embedding their work within the broader canvas of Zionist iconography.Marc Chagall, born in 1887 in Vitebsk, Belarus, blended Eastern European Jewish themes with European modernism.",
"His work, characterized by vivid colors and fantastical imagery, sought to capture the essence of Jewish folklore and tradition alongside avant-garde influences.",
"Chagall's contributions during the interwar period significantly advanced a secular Jewish iconography, with elements of both Jewish identity and the broader currents of secular modern art in his paintings.",
"Following the Bolshevik Revolution, Chagall left Russia in 1922 for Western Europe."

[
"Modern period",
"=== School of Paris ===A Jewish wedding, 1944, Marc ChagallThe École de Paris, a term coined in 1925 by art critic André Warnod, represented a diverse group of artists, many of Jewish origin from Eastern Europe, who settled in Montparnasse, Paris, to escape persecution.",
"This group included notable figures such as Marc Chagall, Jules Pascin, Chaïm Soutine, Isaac Frenkel Frenel, Amedeo Modigliani, and Abraham Mintchine.",
"Their work often depicted Jewish themes and expressed deep emotional intensity, reflecting their experiences of discrimination, pogroms, and the upheavals of the Russian Revolution.",
"It is said that the art of these artists, especially those of Eastern European origin is said to have reflected in expressionist works the plight and suffering of the Jewish people.",
"Despite facing xenophobia and criticism from some quarters, these artists played a central role in the vibrant artistic community of Paris, contributing significantly to its status as the capital of the art world.",
"The School of Paris ebbed away following the Nazi occupation of France and the Holocaust, which led to the death of several prominent Jewish artists, and the dispersal of artists to Israel and the United States;.",
"''''Chaim SoutineIn Israel, the influence of the École de Paris persisted from the 1920s through the 1940s, with French art and especially French Jewish artists continuing to shape Israeli art for decades.",
"The return of École de Paris artist Isaac Frenkel Frenel to Mandatory Palestine in 1925 and the establishment of the Histadrut Art Studio marked the beginning of this influence.",
"His students, upon returning from Paris, further amplified the French artistic influence in Pre-Independence Israel.",
"This period saw artists in Tel Aviv and Safed creating works that portrayed humanity and emotion, often with a dramatic and tragic quality reflective of Jewish experiences.",
"Safed, one of the holy cities of Judaism, in particular, became a center for artists influenced by the École de Paris in the mid to late 20th century.",
"Its mystical and romantic setting attracted artists like Moshe Castel and Yitzhak Frenkel, who sought to capture the city's spiritual essence and dynamic landscapes.=== In Israel ===Binding of Isaac, 1924, Yitzhak FrenkelArt in Israel is said to reflect a dialogue with Jewish art either as a cultural or religious background or in establishing a national identity.",
"In the 19th century, the artistic landscape in Eretz Israel, was predominantly focused on decorative and religious art, catering to pilgrims and reflecting Orientalist themes.",
"This period was marked by the production of religious artifacts, decorative items, and early photography that often mirrored Orientalist aesthetics.The early 20th century witnessed a transformative period with the influx of Jewish painters from Europe, escaping pogroms and seeking refuge in Tel Aviv.",
"Among these, Yitzhak Frenkel, introduced the influence of the École de Paris to Palestine.",
"Frenkel's mentorship and the subsequent migration of artists to the Artist's Quarter of Tzfat catalyzed what is at times referred to as a \"golden age of art\" in the city, spanning the 1950s through the 1970s.",
"This era also saw the rise of significant art movements such as the Canaanite and New Horizons movements, further diversified the Israeli art scene.The establishment of the Bezalel School of Arts and Crafts in 1906 by Boris Schatz marked a seminal moment in the development of Israeli art, blending European Art Nouveau with local artistic traditions.",
"This period also saw the emergence of modern art movements and a shift towards a more subjective artistic expression, challenging the traditional confines of Bezalel's artistic doctrine.",
"With the establishment of studios and exhibitions oriented toward modern art, Tel Aviv emerging as a cultural hub, in time replacing Jerusalem as the country's prominent art centre.Tel Hai, lion of Judah, Avraham MelnikovDuring the 1950s and 1960s, Israeli artists delved into the avant-garde movements prevalent in Europe and the United States, with immigrant artists introducing new trends to Israel and influential local artists spending time abroad, particularly in France.",
"This period saw artists striving to create art that was either universally appealing or distinctly Israeli, inspired by themes of nationalistic socialism and Zionism.",
"The \"New Horizons\" (\"Ofakim Hadashim\") movement, which began with an exhibition by a group known as \"the Group of Eight\" in 1942, became a significant force in Israeli art after the state's founding in 1948.Led by figures like Joseph Zaritsky and including artists such as Arie Aroch and Zvi Meirowitch, the movement aimed to embody a modernist approach that was particularly influenced by French modernism, yet sought to articulate a unique style reflective of Israeli reality.The \"New Horizons\" group aspired to blend Zionism with modernism, adopting a style that leaned towards lyrical abstraction.",
"While the movement's art was not purely abstract, it was deeply rooted in the Israeli landscape, characterized by bold brushstrokes and vibrant colors that mirrored the Mediterranean light.",
"Joseph Zaritsky's work, for example, showcased natural scenes from Kibbutz Yehiam, transitioning from watercolor depictions to oil-based abstract interpretations.",
"This evolution in style was indicative of the group's broader movement towards abstraction, influenced by European modernism but distinctly Israeli in its execution and themes.",
"Zvi Meirovich and other members brought unique contributions to this style, incorporating elements from their personal artistic influences and backgrounds.Despite the abstract and secular direction of the \"New Horizons\" movement, it faced criticism for straying from mainstream Israeli art, which was more figurative and often imbued with explicit Jewish and Zionist narratives.",
"However, the movement's exploration of abstract art laid the groundwork for future artistic expressions in Israel, with later artists like Arie Aroch deviating from the group's initial vision by integrating historical and cultural content into their abstract works.",
"This period also saw the emergence of new artistic media and techniques, such as welded steel sculpture, which allowed for more abstract expressions."

"Tay was said to have committed the shooting out of anger over his girlfriend's predicament, and the shooting left Lee injured, and he survived with timely medical intervention.",
"Tay was arrested in Malaysia and brought back for trial five years later, and in February 2001, he was sentenced to death under the Arms Offences Act on charges of illegally discharging his firearm with intent to cause harm.",
"Tay's appeal was dismissed, and he was hanged on 26 October 2001."
],
[
"Shooting incident",
"On the early morning of 22 January 1995, a shooting incident occurred at the void deck of a HDB block in Rowell Road, Jalan Besar, where four shots were discharged.",
"The shooting left one man injured and another man escaping unscathed.According to the witnesses of the shooting, it was alleged that there was a confrontation between a couple and a moneylender, although the court documents verified that it was a confrontation between the couple and two men (one of them was the moneylender's companion).",
"Both sides were said to be arguing over a debt of S$1,000 which the female member of the couple owed to the 20-year-old moneylender Lee Yang Ping.",
"The dispute grew heated, and it led to the female debtor's boyfriend, who tried to stand up for his girlfriend, to whip out a .38 Smith & Wesson revolver and fired a total of four shots at Lee and his 40-year-old companion Goh Keng Ho, who both fled after seeing the man discharging his revolver at them.",
"One of the bullets struck the mobile phone of Lee, while another had directly hit Lee on the buttocks.",
"The rest of the bullets missed the two men, and Soh himself was not harmed during the shooting.",
"Right after the shooting, the gunman and his girlfriend were reportedly witnessed leaving on a taxi and fled the scene.After he was shot on the buttocks, Lee continued to run to a nearby coffee shop and he managed to catch a taxi to go to Tan Tock Seng Hospital.",
"On the way to the hospital, Lee tried and successfully extracted the bullet by himself inside the taxi, reportedly copying the same way of how a fictional movie character and hero named Rambo treated his gunshot injuries.",
"In response to Lee's actions, the doctor told the press that it was too risky for a gunshot victim to extract the bullet by oneself, as it might worsen the injury and caused a greater loss of blood, which may potentially lead to death.Regardless, Lee was able to reach the hospital and underwent treatment, and he eventually recovered from his gunshot wound.",
"Lee was subsequently discharged from hospital a few days later and rejoined his family to celebrate Chinese New Year."
],
[
"Investigations",
"Meanwhile, the police conducted their investigations in the case, and classified the shooting case as one of unlawful discharge of firearms under the Arms Offences Act, which prescribes the death penalty for use of firearms in Singapore.",
"After conducting a search around the area, the police were able to recover the three spent cartridges at the void deck, and aside from this, they sought to identify the suspected gunman, who was described to be an elderly man aged in his 60s.",
"Although the police managed to identify the possible gunman and conducted a nationwide manhunt for the perpetrator, the suspect had already left Singapore.",
"In fact, the police uncovered a shocking fact about the suspect, who was actually one of the fugitives on Singapore's wanted list for an unknown offence, and he had quietly changed his name and led a low profile life until his alleged involvement in the shooting.In February 1995, the Royal Malaysia Police successfully secured the whereabouts of the gunman, who was actually hiding in the Malaysian state of Johor.",
"The suspected shooter and his girlfriend were both arrested inside the girlfriend's house at Segamat District, a town in Johor, and both the revolver and 20 live rounds of ammunition were recovered by the Malaysian police.",
"The gunman, a 63-year-old Singaporean taxi driver named Tay Chin Wah, was charged in a Malaysian court for illegal possession of weapons.",
"He reportedly confessed to the Malaysian investigators about the shooting incident and how he procured the gun.",
"The Singapore Police Force, who were notified of Tay's arrest and confession, found out that Tay illegally purchased the gun in Singapore for S$2,000, and they promised to investigate the case further and facilitate Tay's extradition in the mean time, and they confirmed that Tay was the gunman they sought after.However, Tay was not immediately extradited back to Singapore upon his arrest in Malaysia.",
"Instead, he was incarcerated at a Malaysian prison for a criminal offence, before he was released within the next five years, and handed over to the Singaporean authorities to face indictment over the shooting incident.At the time of his arrest, Tay was a taxi driver who had gangland affiliations and also dabbled in illegal opium trafficking.",
"He also frequented the area of Jalan Besar, where he often gamble at illegal gambling dens, and he also operated an illegal opium den for addicts to go and smoke opium.",
"Tay was married for about 50 years and has eight children, although none of them were present in court during Tay's trial proceedings."
],
[
"Trial of Tay Chin Wah",
"On 18 February 2001, after his return from Singapore, Tay Chin Wah, then 68 years old, officially stood trial at the High Court for one count of illegally discharging a firearm under the Arms Offences Act, which mandated the death sentence for this particular offence if found guilty.",
"Tay was represented by both Chua Eng Hui and Ong Cheong Wei, while the prosecution was led by Raymond Fong and Chew Siong Tai.",
"Justice Kan Ting Chiu was appointed as the trial judge of Tay's case.The trial court was told that Tay's girlfriend, whose name was Lee Ah Kai (aged 48 in 1995), alias Susan Lee, had borrowed S$1,000 from the first victim Lee Yang Ping, and Soh Keng Ho, the other victim, served as her guarantor.",
"After she took the loan, Susan defaulted on her repayment and on the date of the shooting, when both Susan and Tay were at a void deck in Rowell Road, she was confronted by both Lee and Soh, who demanded Susan to repay the loan, and Susan was unable to pay up.",
"A quarrel broke out between them, and Tay became involved in the argument as well.",
"Based on the prosecution's case and Tay's own admission, Tay took out the revolver and fired at both Lee and Soh, who ran away at the sight of the gun, and it caused Lee to be injured.",
"Both Soh and Lee came to court to testify against Tay, and Dr Teo Teng Poh, a Principal Scientific Officer of the Department of Scientific Services, also testified that the bullets directed at the two men indeed came from Tay's revolver.Tay elected to give his evidence on the stand, and while Tay pleaded guilty at first, which was not allowed in Singapore for criminal charges that carried the death penalty, he told the court that he bought the gun in 1983, 12 years before the shooting, and it was sold to him by a Thai opium trafficker for a price of S$2,000, which also included the ammunition.",
"Tay said that on the day of the shooting, he brought the revolver along for self-defense while accompanying his girlfriend to meet both Lee and Soh, in an effort to meditate and discuss on her debt.",
"However, the meeting escalated into a heated dispute, and one of the men allegedly choked Tay's girlfriend on the neck, and it caused Tay to brandish his sidearm and fired once at the ceiling of the void deck, in order to frighten the duo.",
"This caused Lee and Soh to flee the scene, and still simmering with rage over his girlfriend's predicament, Tay fired three more shots at both Lee and Soh, and although the two men were not killed, Lee was injured on the buttocks.",
"After the shooting, Tay and his girlfriend went to board a taxi and left for Malaysia, where he was eventually arrested for the case.On 21 February 2001, after a trial lasting three days, Justice Kan Ting Chiu delivered his verdict.",
"He found that Tay had not rebutted the legal presumption that he intended to cause harm when he opened fire at both Soh and Lee.",
"He stated that when Tay pointed the gun at both men and fired at them out of anger, there was no doubt that Tay had intentionally discharged the firearm at the both of them, and it could be further interpreted as him having the intent to cause injury or death by doing so, rather than him firing the gun with nothing on his mind.",
"On these grounds, Justice Kan ruled that the prosecution had proven its case beyond a reasonable doubt.Therefore, 68-year-old Tay Chin Wah was found guilty of unlawfully discharging his firearm under Section 4(1) of the Arms Offences Act (Chapter 14), and sentenced to death by hanging."
],
[
"Appeal",
"On 2 May 2001, Tay Chin Wah lost his appeal against both his conviction and mandatory death sentence.",
"The Court of Appeal's three judges - Chief Justice Yong Pung How, and two Judges of Appeal L P Thean (Thean Lip Ping) and Chao Hick Tin - stated that Tay had not rebutted the legal presumption that he intended to cause harm when he fired the four shots, or at least the three subsequent shots he directed towards the two victims Lee Yang Ping and Soh Keng Ho, and the evidence was sufficient to prove the firearm charge against Tay beyond a reasonable doubt.",
"Noting that the defence did not make any submissions on appeal, the appellate court decided that there was nothing to exculpate Tay and hence upheld his conviction and sentence."
],
[
"Execution",
"On 26 October 2001, 68-year-old Tay Chin Wah was hanged in Changi Prison at dawn.",
"On the same date when Tay was executed, 26-year-old Jimmy Goh Chye Soon was put to death at the same prison for one count of trafficking 81.73 grams of diamorphine.",
"Goh, who was arrested in May 2000 for the crime, received the death penalty in December 2000, and like Tay, he also lost his appeal prior to his execution."

[
"Introduction",
"'''Cilium''' is a cloud native technology for networking, observability, and security.",
"It is based on the kernel technology eBPF, originally for better networking performance, and now leverages many additional features for different use cases.",
"The core networking component has evolved from only providing a flat Layer 3 network for containers to including advanced networking features, like BGP and Service mesh, within a Kubernetes cluster, across multiple clusters, and connecting with the world outside Kubernetes.",
"Hubble was created as the network observability component and Tetragon was later added for security observability and runtime enforcement.",
"Cilium runs on Linux and is one of the first eBPF applications being ported to Microsoft Windows through the eBPF on Windows project."
],
[
"History",
"''Evolution from Networking CNI''Cilium began as a networking CNI for container workloads.",
"It was originally IPv6 only and supported multiple container orchestrators, like Kubernetes.",
"The original vision for Cilium was to build an intent and identity-based high-performance container networking platform.",
"As the cloud native ecosystem expanded, Cilium added new projects and features to address new problems in the space.The table below summarises some of the most significant milestones of this evolution:* December 2015 - Initial commit to the Cilium project* May 2016 - Network policy was added, expanding the scope beyond just networking* August 2016 - Cilium was initially announced during LinuxCon as a project providing fast IPv6 container networking with eBPF and XDP.",
"Today, Cilium has been adopted by major cloud provider's Kubernetes offerings and is one of the most widely used CNIs.",
"* August 2017 - ebpf-go was created as a library to read, modify, and load eBPF programs and attach them to various hooks.",
"* April 2018 - Cilium 1.0 is the first stable release* November 2019 - Hubble was launched to provide eBPF-based observability to network flows* August 2020 - Chosen by Google as the basis for their Kubernetes Dataplane v2* September 2021 - AWS picks Cilium for Networking & Security on EKS Anywhere* October 2021 - Pwru was launched for tracing network packets in the Linux kernel with advanced filtering capabilities* October 2021 - Accepted into CNCF as an incubation level project* December 2021 - Cilium Service Mesh launched to help manage traffic between services* May 2022 - Tetragon open sourced to cover security observability and runtime enforcement* October 2022 - Chosen as CNI for Azure* April 2023 - Cilium Mesh launched to connect workloads and machines across cloud, on-prem, and edge* April 2023 - First CiliumCon hosted as a part of KubeCon* October 2023 - Cilium becomes a CNCF Graduated project === CNCF ===Cilium was accepted into the Cloud Native Computing Foundation on October 13th, 2021 as an incubation-level project.",
"It applied to become a graduated project on October 27th 2022.It became a Graduated project one year later.",
"Cilium is one of the fastest-moving projects in the CNCF ecosystem.=== Adoption ===Cilium has been adopted by many large-scale production users, including over 100 that have stated it publicly, for example:* Datadog uses Cilium as their CNI and kube-proxy replacement* Ascend uses Cilium as their one CNI across multiple cloud providers* Bell Canada uses Cilium and eBPF for telco networking* Cosmonic uses Cilium for their Nomad-based PaaS* IKEA uses Cilium for their self-hosted bare-metal private cloud* S&P Global uses Cilium as its CNI* Sky uses Cilium as their CNI and for network security* The New York Times uses Cilium on EKS for multi-region multi-tenant shared clusters* Trip.com uses Cilium both on premise and in AWSCilium is the CNI for many cloud providers including Alibaba, APPUiO, Azure, AWS, DigitalOcean, Exoscale, Google Cloud, Hetzner, and Tencent Cloud."
],
[
"Projects Overview",
"=== Cilium ===Cilium began as a container networking project.",
"With the growth of Kubernetes and container orchestration, Cilium became a CNI, providing basic things like configuring container network interfaces and Pod to Pod connectivity.",
"From the beginning, Cilium based its networking on eBPF rather than iptables or IPVS, betting that eBPF would become the future of cloud native networking.Cilium’s eBPF based dataplane provides a simple flat Layer 3 network with the ability to span multiple clusters in either a native routing or overlay mode with Cilium Cluster Mesh.",
"It is Layer 7-protocol aware and can enforce network policies on Layer 3 to Layer 7 and with FQDN using an identity-based security model that is decoupled from network addressing.Cilium implements distributed load balancing for traffic between Pods and to external services, and is able to fully replace kube-proxy, using XDP, socket-based load-balancing and efficient hash tables in eBPF.",
"It also supports advanced functionality like integrated ingress and egress gateways, bandwidth management, a stand-alone load balancer, and service mesh.Cilium is the first CNI to support advanced kernel features such as BBR TCP congestion control and BIG TCP for Kubernetes Pods.=== Hubble ===Hubble is the observability, service map, and UI of Cilium which is shipped with the CNI.",
"It can be used to observe individual network packet flows, view network policy decisions to allow or block traffic, and build up service maps showing how Kubernetes services are communicating.",
"Hubble can export this data to Prometheus, OpenTelemetry, Grafana, and Fluentd for further analysis of Layer 3/4 and Layer 7 metrics.=== Tetragon ===Tetragon is the security observability and runtime enforcement project of Cilium.",
"Tetragon is a flexible Kubernetes-aware security observability and runtime enforcement tool that applies policy and filtering directly with eBPF.",
"It allows users to monitor and observe the complete lifecycle of every process execution on their machine, translate policies for file monitoring, network observability, container security, and more into eBPF programs, and do synchronous monitoring, filtering, and enforcement completely in the kernel.=== Go eBPF Library ===ebpf-go is a pure-Go library to interact with the eBPF subsystem in the Linux kernel.",
"It has minimal external dependencies, emphasises reliability and compatibility, and is widely deployed in production.=== Pwru ===pwru (\"Packet, where are you?\")",
"is an eBPF-based tool for tracing network packets in the Linux kernel with advanced filtering capabilities.",
"It allows fine-grained introspection of kernel state to facilitate debugging network connectivity issues.",
"Under the hood, pwru attaches eBPF debugging programs to all Linux kernel functions which are responsible for processing network packets.This gives a user finer-grained view into a packet processing in the kernel than with tcpdump, Wireshark, or more traditional tools.",
"Also, it can show packet metadata such as network namespace, processing timestamp, internal kernel packet representation fields, and more."

"Introduction",
"'''Ice Memory''' is an international initiative which aims to constitute the first world library of archived glacier ice, to preserve this invaluable scientific heritage for the generations to come, when future techniques can obtain even more data from these samples.In 2015, the Ice Memory project started with the meeting of Jérôme Chappellaz - CNRS - EPFL, Patrick Ginot - IRD (IGE/UGA-CNRS-IRD-G-INP) from France and Carlo Barbante (CNR/Ca’Foscari Univ.",
"of Venice) from Italy to conduct drilling expeditions worldwide and safeguard the data present in the ice - the memory of the ice - in an sanctuary in Antarctica.According to UNESCO and IUCN report \" World Heritage glaciers: sentinels of climate change\" announcing that about 30% of glaciers recognized as World Heritage Sites will disappear by 2050 and 50% by 2100 without a drastic and immediate reduction in greenhouse gases, the Ice Memory initiative has been described as urgent and meaningful for humanity wellbeing and acknowledged by UNESCO in 2017Indeed, previous glaciology researches made by notably Claude Lorius, Glaciologist and Ice Memory first supporter, Dominique Raynaud and Jean Jouzel aimed to prove the link between atmospheric concentration of greenhouse gases and climate change while studying ice cores.In the coming decades, it is expected that researchers will have new ideas and techniques to develop those scientific results.",
"For instance, they may be able to isolate other information contained in the ice of which we are not aware today.This scientific information trapped in the ice — synthesised and highlighted by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change — is a useful element in the crucial decisions of how to shape international environmental and climate policy."
],
[

"Ice core science",
"By trapping the different components of the atmosphere, ice represents an invaluable source of information for tracing our environmental past, for providing an account of past climate change, and especially for understanding our future.Variations in temperature, atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases, natural aerosol emissions, pollutants produced by humans.The science of ice cores can study the dozens of chemical compounds that are trapped in the ice: gases, acids, heavy metals, radioactivity, and water isotopes form the memory of the climates and environments of the past."

[
"Ice Memory drillings roadmap",
"The objective of Ice Memory Foundation is to sample 20 glaciers in 20 years so that future generations of scientists will have access to undamaged high-quality ice cores to pursue their research and have data to understand the Earth's climate.As of 2025, the Ice Memory Foundation would be storing glacier samples from Europe, Bolivia, and Eurasia Russia in Europe, while waiting for Antarctic storage to become available.Co-founder of the Ice Memory Foundation, Jérome Chappellaz says that teams will collect ice from other sites, including Rocky mountains (Canada/ USA), Himalaya plateau (Tadjikistan, Pakistan, China), Andes plateau (Peru, Argentina), Heard island (Australia), as soon as possible, facing the accelerating rate of melting."

"A sanctuary in Antarctica",
"The Ice Memory heritage ice cores will be safeguarded for centuries in Antarctica.",
"A dedicated sanctuary will be built at the French-Italian Concordia station, an international station on the Antarctic Plateau that allows natural storage at -50 °C.First tests of the cave have been jointly managed by IPEV and PNRA.",
"The first cave should be available for the first Ice Memory cores in 2025.Located close to the Concordia Station, the storage site will cover a surface area equivalent to approximately twenty 20-foot containers, or approximately 300 m2.Despite the added complexity of transporting the ice cores to Antarctica, this choice will allow a long-term preservation of the samples using natural storage with no energy consumption required for refrigeration thereby protecting the precious samples from any risk of disrupted cold chain (technical problems, economic crisis, conflict, acts of terrorism, etc.",
").Difficult access to the samples, combined with restrictive Antarctic logistics will prevent an over-use of the cores.",
"At last, the storage in a polar region managed via the Antarctic Treaty, prevents territorial claims as they are frozen, as signed by the world's major nations."

"Revolt of Alaric I"
],
[
"Introduction",
"The '''revolt of Alaric I''' was a military conflict between the Roman Empire and a rebel army, probably composed mainly of Goths.",
"This war consisted a number of armed conflicts in the period between 395 and 398, interspersed with periods of negotiations and sometimes even cooperation.",
"During this war, the western and eastern parts of the Roman Empire did not always joint together because of conflicting interests.",
"The protagonists in this conflict were the West-Roman commander-in-chief Stilicho, the Eastern-Roman prefect Rufinus, his successor Eutropius and Alaric I.",
"The latter was an elected Gothic military leader and monarch, and later considered one of first Visigothic kings."
],
[
"Sources",
"The main contemporary sources in which this war is reported are the historian Orosius and the poet Claudianus.",
"Other early sources are Zosimus, a historian who probably lived about half a century after Alaric's death, and Jordanes, a Romanized Goth who wrote a history of his people around 550.These sources provide a lot of information, but are not always unambiguous and sometimes even contradictory."
],
[
"Background",
"===Settlement of the Goths within the empire===In 376 the Goths, who were fleeing for the Huns, were given permission from Emperor Valens (364-378) to settle within the Roman Empire.",
"The Goths appeared in two large separate groups, the Tervingi and Greuthungi, each with their own leaders.",
"These first two groups were soon followed by even more Gothic refugees.",
"Emperor Valens who had a serious shortage of manpower for his armies saw in the newcomers a new source of soldiers and concluded treaties with the Goths.",
"In exchange for military assistance, the Goths were assigned territory within the empire.",
"This was an extraordinary circumstance, because for the first time in the history of the empire barbaric people were settled within its borders and not direct subjected to imperial laws.",
"In the reception and integration of these groups, a lot went wrong due to mismanagement and miscommunication of the Romans.",
"Over the next decades, more Gothic groups crossed the Roman borders; these generally tried to enlist with the Roman military or gain lands to settle.",
"Many newcomers tried to integrate into Roman society, but other Gothic groups attempted to maintain cohesion as well as gain greater power in negotiations by practicing distinct customs including an elected kingship.The arrival of the Goths and the inability of the Romans to invict the threat that the newcomers made for the empire after some time, eventually led to a serious weakening of the military strength of the empire, and worked as a catalyst for the fall of the Western Roman empire in 476-480.===Usurpation of Eugenius===An important occasion in which the Goths had to provide the empire with soldiers, arose during the usurpation of Eugenius in the year 392.Emperor Theodosius (379-395) brought an army together in 393 that a significant contingent includes of Gothic auxiliary troops.",
"These Goths were under the command of their own captains, of which Alaric was the most important.",
"The supremacy over the empire was decided in 394 in the Battle of the Frigidus in favor of Theodosius.",
"His Goths played an important role during the battles but also suffered major losses.",
"The contemporary Roman historian Orosius stated that, since the Goths suffered most of the victims, Theodosius won two battles with Frigidus, one against Eugenius the other against the Goths.=== Dispute over Illyricum ===Theodosius I died the year after the battle.",
"His death on January 17, 395 caused the division of the empire among his two sons: the ten-year-old Honorius ruled over the western half and Arcadius, eighteen, over the eastern half.",
"Due to the young age and low predisposition of both brothers, they were under the influence of prominent personalities.",
"In the case of Honorius, the ''magister militum'' Stilicho and in that of Arcadius the ''Praefectus praetorio'' Rufinus.There was a dispute between the two parts of the empire over the ownership of the prefecture of Illyricum.",
"This prefecture was assigned to the west when the empire in 364 was divided between the brothers Valentinian and Valens.",
"Later at the time of the war against the Goths in 379-382, the then emperor Gratianus handed it to Theodosius to facilitate his fight against the Goths.",
"After the death of Theodosius, the western half demanded it back, something the eastern half rejected.",
"The background of this dispute went beyond mere territorial importance, as the region was the empire's main recruitment area for soldiers."
],
[
"Revolt of the Goths",
"===Attack on Constantinople===The great losses suffered in the battle of the Frigidus fed the Goths' mistrust of the Romans.",
"As Emperor Theodosius died in early 395, the Goths were ripe to revolt.",
"The Goths had had enough of their semi-autonomous status within the empire and the Tervingi and Greuthungi sought rapprochement with each other.",
"Now that the empire was divided between the two sons of the emperor, the Goths, who were settled as ''foederati'' in Moesia in the eastern part of the empire, were loyal to Arcadius.",
"They demanded more security from him and chose Alaric, who had made a name for himself in an earlier, smaller uprising after the Maximus campaign - who also aspired to an important position within the Roman army - as their king.",
"Though Alaric was a member of the Balt dynasty, a Gothic royal family, his relation to previous Gothic leaders like Athanaric remains unclear.",
"In any case, he had distinguished himself as leader and gained the appointment as a Roman ''comes rei militaris'', though he was evidently dissatisfied with this position.",
"Alaric's personal grievance only grew when the emperor put him under the command of Gainas.",
"The latter was also a Goth, but of lesser social origin than Alaric in the eyes of many Goths.In the course of 395, a revolt of the Goths broke out in Moesia.",
"As ancient sources remain vague as to the exact composition of the emerging rebel army, historians continue to dispute whether it was mainly recruited from Gothic settlers or composed of a mixed force of disgruntled veterans of the Frigidus campaign.",
"Proponents of an ethnically mixed uprising point out that many armed, disgruntled groups were known to operate in the Balkans at the time, several of whom were either Roman or non-Gothic Barbarians.",
"It would have made sense of these groups to unite due to their shared interest in land and compensation.",
"Critics of this theory point out that, if the Goths were a minority in the rebellion, the rebels would have probably lost their Gothic identity over time; however, this was not the case.",
"Historians such as Ian Hughes and Herwig Wolfram have instead argued that most of the insurgents were probably Goths, though ones of various backgrounds.",
"As the rebel army then marched across the Roman Empire, it absorbed a great number of volunteers and stragglers of non-Gothic origin.",
"However, these remained a minority, thus maintaining the self-identification of the rebels as \"Goths\".",
"Hughes further posited that Jordanes' description of \"''Gothi Minores'' ('Lesser Goths')\" in the Balkans suggests a division of the Goths in 395: A large number of Goths in Moesia revolted under Alaric, while the rest refused to join the uprising and thus became the ''Gothi Minores''.Theodosian Walls at the Selymbria Gate in Istanbul.Once the rebels had gathered under the leadership of Alaric, they set off for the imperial capital Constantinople.",
"In their wake they caused great damage, but encountering no significant opposition from the Roman army.",
"The eastern field army was at a distance in Asia Minor where it was engaged in fighting groups of plundering Huns and many eastern troops who had not yet returned after the campaign against Eutropius stayed in Italy.",
"Nevertheless, at that time it was an impossible task for the Goths to take the capital of the East Roman Empire.",
"The emperor stayed safely in his palace behind the strong walls.",
"Alaric contacted Rufinus with whom he negotiated.",
"After commitments from Rufinus, the Pretorian prefect of the East, and chief adviser to Arcadius, the siege of Constantinople was lifted and the Goths moved further west.According to historian Thomas Burns, the negotiations with Rufinus meant that Alaric and his men were recruited by the Eastern regime of Rufinus in Constantinople and sent to Thessaly to ward off the imminent threat of Western General Stilicho.",
"This general set out, with an army from Italy, to defeat the Gothic uprising in Greece.Alaric's march in 395 included passing the mountain pass Thermopylae.",
"His troops went to Athens and along the coast.",
"Stilicho's propagandist Claudianus accuses Alaric's army of looting carried out far south of the mountainous peninsula Peloponnese, reporting that only Stilicho's surprise attack with his western field army (that he had sailed from Italy) put an end to the looting when he forces drives Alaric's troops northward in Epirus.",
"Zosimus adds that Stilicho's troops also destroyed and looted, and that he allowed Alaric's men to escape with their loot.===First campaign of Stilicho and the murder of Rufinus===With the arrival of Stilicho in the fall of 395, the issue regarding the jurisdiction of the Illyrian prefecture became relevant.",
"Rufinus, the strong man of the east, feared losing this area to the west with a victory of Stilicho over the Goths.",
"He persuaded the emperor to cancel Stilicho's campaign.",
"Emperor Arcadius forbade Stilicho to attack Alaric and demanded that his army leave the territory of the East Roman Empire, because the emperor had not asked him to come.",
"In addition, the Eastern troops had to be dismissed.The imperial mandate arrived at the Roman camp when they were preparing an attack on the Goths in the valley of Pinios, an attack that had good prospects to suppress the Gothic uprising.",
"Stilicho - whose wife and son were in Constantinople at the time - responded to this order, but not before he ordered Gainas the captain of the eastern troops to conject an assassination attempt on Rufinus.",
"Following the emperor's command, the western army left without even carrying out a combat action against the Goths and the eastern troops returned under the command of Gainas.",
"Upon arrival in Constantinople on 27 November 395, Rufinus was assassinated when he and the emperor inspected the returned troops.",
"His successor was Eutropius who also had a major influence on the emperor.",
"Zosimus claimed that Eutropius Arcadius also checked 'as if he were a sheep'.",
"Historian Roger Collins points out that although the rivalry created by the two halves of the empire, that fought for power, worked in the favor of Alaric and that of his people.",
"However, this did not solve the problems of the Gothic people experienced in their food supply.",
"Alaric needed access to Roman authority to be supplied by Roman cities.",
"When he didn't get it, he gave himself access to this.===Looting of Greece===1920s artistic depiction of Alaric parading through Athens after conquering the city in 396Alaric's army, now without the threat of Stilicho's army, stayed in southern Greece the following year (in 396) without the Eastern Roman government even doing anything against his raids.",
"In the pass of Thermopylae, the Roman troops who were stationed here let the Goths pass without resistance.",
"After this they entered the province Achaea.",
"They plundered the cities of Boeotia and continued to Piraeus, where Athens surrendered and allowed Alaric to move into the city with his army.",
"Then they continued with the fire treasures of Megara, Korinthian, Argos and Sparta.",
"In the end, the new mentor of Emperor Arcadius, Eutropius turned to the west with a request for help.",
"Stilicho seized this opportunity to intervene in the Eastern Empire with both hands.===Second campaign of Stilicho===Stilicho made his army ready, saved himself a difficult trip over land, and in the spring of 397 he put his troops by boat across the Adriatic Sea and landed in Corinth where the Gothic army of Alaric was located.",
"After a first victorious confrontation, the Romans managed to circle the Gothic army camp, where they were at the mercy of their grace.",
"Nevertheless, Stilicho waited to hand out the final blow.",
"He kept his power over Alaric as a trump card in the political slit-off between the two parts of the empire that arose when Stilicho decided to pressure the emperor to send Eutropius away and accept him as counsel.",
"Arcadius (i.e.",
"Eutropius) rejected this proposal and ordered Stilicho again to withdraw.",
"This time he refused to follow up on this.",
"The Roman general then was declared as 'public enemy' and all his belongings in the east were taken off of him.",
"Faced with this rejection, Stilicho now chose the defeated Alaric as his new ally.",
"Meanwhile, tensions between the two parts of the empire run up while Stilicho was informed that an uprising had broken out in the western part.",
"In the province Africa the Gildonian uprising had broken out by the ''Comes Africae'' Gildo at the instigation of Eutropius.",
"The grain supply of Rome was in danger and at the end of 397 the Roman general decided to return with his army.Back in Italy, in 398, Stilicho sent an army of 5,000 veterans to Africa to suppress Gildo's uprising.",
"Again he extracts a number of troops from the Rhine border and continued to campaign indecisively against the Eastern Empire.",
"In doing so, he encountered opposition from the Gothic troops of Alaric."
],
[
"Aftermath",
"After Stilicho let the Goths go, the Goths stayed in Epirus.",
"Because the Eastern Empire did not have enough manpower to face them alone, the eastern half made a peace agreement with the Goths in 398.In doing so, the Eastern Empire made all kinds of commitments to the Goths and granted them better conditions and additional guarantees of local products.",
"Alaric obtained the title of ''magister militum per Illyricum'', which meant that he held the highest military rank in this province.",
"They also agreed to the settlement of the Goths in the Illyricum prefecture which was disputed with Western Empire.",
"With the prefecture under his control, Alaric was able to impose the cities his willand plunder their arsenals so that he could deliver and improve the weapons of his troops.",
"This peace agreement was very negative for the western half, as they got the Goths as neighbors in the adjacent Illyricum.",
"The Goths thus obtained a base from which they could easily invade the west.",
"What actually happened from the year 401 and was the prelude to the Gothic War of 402-403."

Marchand, Antoine Foullet and Jean-Joseph de Saint-Germain.He was in business with his son, Nicolas Laurent, in 1765.After Dey's death in 1774, his son continued the business.A Louis XV ormolu-mounted Boulle marquetry bracket clock with conforming bracket hung on the wall of the study was in the possession of American preservationist James Arthur Williams, who had it on display in his Mercer House study in Savannah, Georgia."

[
"Introduction",
"A fissure eruption of the New Reykjanes Fires on the Reykjanes Peninsula in January 2024The '''Reykjanes Fires''' (Icelandic: ''Reykjaneseldar'') were a series of volcanic eruptions that took place on the Reykjanes Peninsula in south-west Iceland between approximately 1210 and 1240.They caused widespread physical and economic damage, covering large areas of the peninsula in lava and tephra and causing the mass starvation of livestock, as well as a number of deaths of people due to earthquakes.",
"The peninsula's volcanic systems were subsequently dormant for 800 years until a fresh series of eruptions began in 2021, which have been called the '''New Reykjanes Fires'''."
],
[
"Geology",
"Volcanic systems of the Reykjanes Peninsula (SW-Iceland): 1=Reykjanes (volcanic system), 2=Eldvörp-Svartsengi, 3=Fagradalsfjall, 4=Krýsuvík, 5=Brennisteinsfjöll, 6=HengillThe Reykjanes Peninsula is a continuation of the mostly submarine Reykjanes Ridge, a part of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.Its topography was formed by glaciers and volcanism, with basaltic lava fields covering a good part of the peninsula, in between volcanoes of subglacial as well as subaerial origin, namely tuyas, hyaloclastic ridges (tindars), shield volcanoes and crater rows.The Reykjanes volcanic belt, one of the present day volcanic zones of Iceland, consists (depending on author) of 3 to 6 or even 7 volcanic systems, arranged ''en echelon'', i.e.",
"more or less side by side, and in an average 40° angle to the spreading direction NE–SW over the peninsula.",
"Most of the volcanic systems, because they are on top of a rift segment, show a tendency for basaltic fissure eruptions.",
"There are tephra deposits from both offshore explosive Holocene eruptions, some of whom were from volcanoes of the Reykjanes volcanic system, and the most recent eruption of Hengill.",
"Only the Hengill volcanic system, the most easterly system, has an additional complex central volcano at the intersection with the West volcanic zone of Iceland and South Iceland seismic zone."

"The Stampar crater row, likely formed in 1211 or 1223The Arnaseturshraun lava field, believed to have been erupted in 1240A number of off- and onshore eruptions at Reykjanes are recorded by medieval Icelandic annals and sagas as having taken place between 1210 and 1240.As well as depositing tephra across the peninsula, they produced dozens of square kilometres of lava flows, now known as the Yngra Stampahraun, Eldvarpahraun, Illahraun and Arnaseturshraun.",
"The eruptions are known as \"fires\" for being a series of eruptions over a specific period in the same area.",
"The exact length of each eruption is not known.",
"The specific events recorded were in:* '''1210''' * '''1211''', possibly a continuation of the 1210 event and probably an offshore Surtseyan eruption that is known to have produced large quantities of pumice.",
"According to the ''Konungsannáll'', this was accompanied by an earthquake in which fourteen men perished and \"fire came up from the sea\", likely in August or September 1211.The Vatnsfell tuff cones northwest of Valahnúkamöl were likely created in this eruption, which would have taken place explosively underwater.",
"The eruptions created new land, resulting in the craters now being a short distance inland.",
"* '''1223''', possibly associated with the Yngri-Stampar crater row and adjacent lavas north of where the Reykjanes Power Station now stands.",
"(The craters may alternatively have formed in 1211.",
")* '''1226''', a lengthy eruption or series of eruptions which the ''Íslendinga saga'' records as \"the Sand-Summer, because fire erupted in the sea off Reykjanes and there was a great fall of ash\".",
"It caused \"much grasslessness\" across the peninsula which resulted in a \"sand-winter which was a very hard winter for the livestock\".",
"This appears to record an explosive eruption which probably took place several kilometres offshore.",
"Tephra fell over a wide area of the peninsula, as far away as Reykjavik, and is known as the ''Miðaldarlagið'' or Middle Ages Tephra.",
"It is now an important dating marker for eruptions on the peninsula.",
"Its source is unknown but may have been the volcanic islet of Eldey, which is believed to have erupted during the Reykjanes Fires.",
"* '''1227''', probably the same event as 1226, overlapping the years; also produced a large amount of pumice.",
"* '''1231''', another \"sand-winter\"; tephra has been attributed to this event.",
"* '''1238'''* '''1240''', an event recorded as having made the skies \"red as blood\".",
"This implies a sulphur-rich volcanic plume which caused regional atmospheric perturbations, likely resulting from a large effusive basaltic eruption.",
"The most likely candidate for this event is the 8-10 km long Eldvörp crater row north of Svartsengi where the Arnasetursrhaun and Illarhaun lava fields are situated, covering an area of as much as .",
"The fissure may have extended into the sea, as the lava flow continues as far out as 2.7 km and 90 m underwater.",

"The plans, evidence, and individuals involved in planning a coup d'état were gradually revealed in investigations conducted by public agencies and the press in 2023 and 2024.Bolsonaro has denied any wrongdoing and says he \"suffers relentless persecution\".After Bolsonaro supporters stormed the Congress and Supreme Court on 8 January 2023, more than 1,400 people were charged for their alleged role in the riots.",
"Valdemar Costa Neto, head of the Liberal Party, and three aides to Bolsonaro were arrested on 8 February 2024."
],
[
"Evidence",
"=== ''Coup Draft'' ===The Federal Police found a draft announcement of a coup in a search of former Justice minister Anderson Torres's home.",
"The document outlined a plan to implement a state of defense () that would nullify the 2022 election results.",
"It also leveled a series of accusations, such as abuse of power and lack of impartiality, against the Superior Electoral Court (TSE), which had been investigating Bolsonaro and his allies when he was in office.==== Reactions ====The discovery of the draft caused widespread repercussions in Brazilian politics, society, and judiciary.",
"Jurists debated the inherent illegality of possessing of such a document, regardless of its use or the success of its use.",
"Senator Randolfe Rodrigues called for an inquiry by the Supreme Federal Court into the \"attempted coup d'état\".During the media uproar that occurred after the draft's discovery, Torres said on social media that the draft was \"most likely\" a document that was meant to be discarded and shredded by the Ministry of Justice and Public Security.",
"According to him, the draft was taken without his knowledge and used out of context, fueling \"false narratives\" against him.",
"Conversely, his lawyers said that the draft had been handed to him by a \"citizen\", a narrative inconsistent with internal evidence within the document, clearly written by someone very closely following events.Jair Bolsonaro's defense team moved to exclude the document from a parallel investigation of his attempt to discredit the electoral system.",
"This investigation arose from a speech against the Superior Electoral Court, delivered at a meeting with ambassadors in 2022.The request was denied, and the document remained part of the evidence.On 30 June 2023, a majority at the Superior Electoral Court declared Jair Bolsonaro ineligible to hold political power until 2030 for his abuse and misuse of communication media during this meeting.==== Investigation ====The Federal Police conducted several forensic examinations and investigations regarding the document, to among other things, trace its circulation among government authorities.",
"According to information gathered by investigators, the draft reached Bolsonaro's aides, as well as members of his reelection committee.",
"An analysis of the various fingerprints found on the document was carried out by the Federal Police, furthermore, efforts were made to trace the printer that originated the document through documentoscopy techniques.",
"The forensic examination aims to verify especially if the draft originated from a public agency, given that the forensic technique in use is only effective in tracing medium or large sized printers, and is less accurate for consumer printers.=== Anderson Torres' testimony ===Upon his return to Brazil Anderson Torres was arrested and detained for four months while Supreme Court justice Alexandre de Moraes investigated his role in the riots.",

"Torres reaffirmed that he had not drafted the document and did not know who did.Protest in front of the Brazilian Army barracks in Ilhéus, Bahia.To the accusation of negligence or complicity with the 2022–2023 Brazilian election protests that culminated in the 2023 Brazilian Congress attack on 8 January, Torres, who took office January 2nd as head of security for the Federal District, claimed he had fulfilled all necessary verification and security measures, relying on reports that did not foresee radical actions by Bolsonaro supporters.",
"Since he thought he had fulfilled his duties, he said, he deemed it appropriate to proceed with a planned family trip to the United States, where he stayed in Orlando, the same city as Bolsonaro, with whom he said he had not coordinated his plans, and with whom he additionally claimed he did not meet.Ricardo Cappelli, the intervenor Lula put in charge of Brasília's public security after the riots, called 8 January \"a structured sabotage operation\" adding:==== Anderson Torres' cellphone ====Regarding the whereabouts of his phone, Torres claimed to have turned it off after his arrest was ordered, due to the number of calls he received, and lost it shortly afterward.",

"Its content anticipated the arrest of political opponents and justice Alexandre de Moraes.The plan was allegedly accepted by the commander of the Brazilian Navy, Admiral Almir Garnier Santos.",
"However, General Marco Antônio Freire Gomes of the Brazilian Army reportedly refused to participate, leading to abandonment.",
"Bolsonaro's defense team has said that the statements are slanderous.In addition to the military, Cid would have said that Bolsonaro received, in meetings at the presidential palace, various people with coup plans that involved, among other things, using a misinterpretation of article 142 of the Federal Constitution to entrust the armed forces with exercising the moderating power.",

"Miss Carlota"
],
[
"Introduction",
"'''Maria Carlota D'Souza''' (5 December 1902 – unknown), known professionally as '''Miss Carlota''', was a Goan theatre actress and singer who worked on the Konkani stage."
],
[
"Early life",
"D'Souza during her youthMaria Carlota D'Souza was born on 5 December 1902, in Cunchelim, Bardez, Goa, which was a part of Portuguese India during the era of the Portuguese Empire (now situated in India).",
"Her parents were João Minguel and Maria Artimiza Julia Vaz.",
"D'Souza defied societal conventions by venturing onto the ''tiatr'' stage during a time when women faced significant social stigma for such performances.",
"She exhibited a strong passion for singing and acting from an early age.",
"However, due to prevailing societal taboos, her talent for singing could not fully flourish, remaining largely unexplored during her childhood."
],
[
"Career",
"D'Souza played a pivotal role in revitalizing the presence of women on the Konkani stage during a period of decline.",
"Prior to her arrival, the Konkani theater faced challenges in engaging Goan women performers, despite the efforts of directors such as João Agostinho Fernandes.",
"These endeavors encountered limited support from Goan families, resulting in the swift departure of new female talents.",
"Consequently, male actors assumed female roles, upholding the Konkani ''tiatr'' stage but reinforcing the absence of women.",
"However, D'Souza's emergence marked a turning point, as she not only left an impression but also inspired other women to embrace the Konkani stage.",
"On 6 October 1934, D'Souza made her debut performance in Saib Rocha's ''tiatr'' production titled ''Son of Jerusalem'' at the Princess Theatre Bhangwadi in Bombay.",
"According to writer and politician Tomazinho Cardozo, D'Souza's debut brought renewed joy and opportunities for women in Konkani theater, which had been waning.",
"While D'Souza was preceded by individuals like Regina Fernandes, Luiza Maria, Miss Ida, Miss Adelia, Miss Etilvina, and others, their contributions failed to have a substantial impact.",
"Over time, fewer women participated in the Konkani theater, and male actors continued to portray female characters to sustain the Konkani ''tiatr'' stage.",
"D'Souza's 1934 debut, amidst these challenging circumstances, paved the way for Goan women to reclaim their place on the Konkani stage, as acknowledged by Cardozo.",
"D'Souza's debut in 1934 marked a significant milestone for the Konkani stage, as it witnessed the long-awaited return of Goan women to the theatrical scene.",
"This revival brought joy to both ''tiatr'' directors and enthusiasts alike.",
"D'Souza's performances earned her recognition and the admiration of leading ''tiatr'' directors, who eagerly sought to cast her in their productions.",
"From left to right: D'Souza, Jacinto Vaz, Bartlu, A.M.B Rose & C. Alvares, performing in the ''tiatr Dubavi Gorcarn''A pivotal moment in D'Souza's career came when she assumed the lead role in Affonceka's ''tiatr'', ''Angelin Bomboinchi Puzadkarn''.",
"Acting opposite the actor Anthony Tulu, D'Souza displayed talent and matched his performance.",
"This particular ''tiatr'' propelled D'Souza into the spotlight, as she shared the stage with Tulu, a popular artist of that era.",
"Recognizing her talent, Saib Rocha promptly invited her to join the Union Jack Dramatic Company and cast her in lead roles for all their productions.",
"It was under the auspices of this company that D'Souza achieved acclaim for her portrayal of Juliet in Saib Rocha's Konkani adaptation of Shakespeare's ''Romeo and Juliet''.",
"Her chemistry with J. P. Souzalin, who played Romeo, garnered praise, and their performance became a memorable collaboration.",
"D'Souza continued to shine in subsequent ''tiatrs'' alongside J.P. Souzalin, such as ''Conde de Monte Cruzo'' (Count of Monte Cruzo) and ''Bhott Ailolo Pomburpechea Festak'' (Hindu priest's arrival at Pomburpa's feast), earning accolades from audiences.",
"J. P. Souzalin openly proclaimed D'Souza as a genuine and accomplished actress.",
"The handbill for the ''tiatr Romeo & Juliet'', directed by Saib Rocha, features D'Souza among the castKonkani historian and singer Wilson Mazarello writes, D'Souza's ability to evoke deep emotions was evident in her poignant performances, often moving audiences to tears.",
"Tomazinho Cardozo also writes, her unique singing style, frequently showcased in duets with the artiste Anthony Tulu, further enhanced her artistic repertoire.",
"Cardozo discusses D'Souza's talents, noting that her ability to act and sing made her a highly sought-after actress on the Konkani stage.",
"D'Souza's performances were in demand not only in Bombay but also in Poona, Goa, and Karachi (then part of British India).",
"Cardozo emphasizes her versatility as an actor, capable of both serious and comedic roles.",
"He also highlights her professionalism, noting her thorough preparation and ability to portray characters without needing prompting on stage."
],
[
"Death",
"D'Souza died in Bombay (present-day Mumbai) during the height of her career, leaving a void in the Konkani ''tiatr'' community.",
