"Pieces like ''Lipstick (Ascending) on Caterpillar Tracks'' (1974) and ''Spoonbridge and Cherry'' (1988) helped them gain notoriety, and they were commissioned by Barcelona's Olympic Council to create a piece for the city, as the Summer Olympic Games were to be held there in 1992.Oldenburg and van Bruggen had were invited to Barcelona in 1986 by the council, and the piece was subsequently commissioned.In contrast to many of the other contracted artists who created work to be placed beside the coast, Oldenburg and van Bruggen remarked that they were “more interested in the residential areas being developed for the Olympic Games that would afterward become new neighborhoods”.",

"Yazid inscription"
],
[
"Introduction",
"The '''Yazīd inscription''' is an early Christian Paleo-Arabic inscription from the region of as-Samrūnīyyāt, 12 km southeast of Qasr Burqu' in the northeastern Jordan.It was discovered during in the first season of the El-Khḍerī archaeological and epigraphic survey project and published in 2017.It consists of only four words and a Christian cross.",
"Notably, it mentions a certain figure known as \"Yazīd the king\" (''yzydw ʾl-mlk''), who is most likely the Umayyad ruler Yazid I."
],
[
"Text",
"The following transliteration and translation comes from the 2017 edition of the Yazid inscription.",
"'''Transliteration'''1.† ''dkr ʾl-ʾlh''2.",
"''yzydw ʾl-mlk'''''Translation'''1.†May God be mindful of2.Yazīd''-w'' the king"
],
[
"Identity of Yazid",
"The identity of the figure named Yazīd in the inscription is open to interpretation, especially in light of the undated nature of the inscription.",
"First, the term ''mlk'' (''malik'') in inscriptions from this period does not necessarily denote a king who ruled over a specified territory.",
"For example, the Jebel Usays inscription applies the title to al-Harith ibn Jabalah, ruler of the Ghassanids, possibly in reference to the title he had been given of phylarch by the Byzantine emperor Justinian I.",
"If the figure mentioned in the inscription corresponds to one from known sources, it may refer to Yazīd son of al-ʾAswad (the only figure from classical Arabic sources by the name of Yazīd associated with the Ghassanids), Yazīd son of Qays the Ḥujrid (mentioned by Photios I of Constantinople mentioned in his ''Bibliotheca''), or Yazīd son of Kabaśat (mentioned in the late Sabaic inscription CIH 541 as a figure appointed by the South Arabian ruler Abraha).",
"From the Islamic period, it may refer to the Umayyad ruler Yazid I, a view that is increasingly held, and ties in with the likely presence of Arab Christians in early Islamic armies."
],
[
"Linguistics",
"The formula which appears in the inscription, ''dkr ʾl-ʾlh'' (\"May God be mindful of\" or \"May God remember\"), is also found in the Zabad inscription and DaJ144PAr.The Yazid inscription shares a few linguistic peculiarities with the Abd Shams inscription.The Yazid inscription is one of the two Islamic-era inscriptions that retain the practice of wawation, once widespread in pre-Islamic Arabic, alongside PERF 558 (22 AH / 643 CE)."

"Operation Lobos 1"
],
[
"Introduction",
"Operation Lobos aka Operation Wolves was a Brazilian centered (Operação Lobos) 12 country, multinational operation, to target operations of a TOR hidden service known as Baby Heart.",
"Additional objectives/targets of the joint operation were the deanonymization of the TOR host server(s), TOR administrator(s) and TOR users associated with the Target Website and several other targeted websites that were alleged to contain or be utilized to traffic illegal images of child sexual abuse materials(CSAM) and other categories of legal nude and non-nude images of persons under 18.As of February of 2024, the complete list of target websites involved in this operation have not been released by any government, however, the primary targets appeared to be the following: Baby-Heart, Hurt-meh, Boyvids 4.0, Anjos Prohibidos (BR)/Forbidden-Angels, and Loli Lust.",
"Court documents have indicated that there were at least two other websites that were targeted, however the names of the websites have not been made public."
],
[
"Investigative History",
"The multinational joint investigation that led to Operation Lobos was started as early as August 2015 when the Hidden Service Bulletin Board Baby-Heart was originally brought online.",
"*March 2017 Australian Police purportedly relayed information to Portugal's Judiciary cyber crime unit \"UNC3T\".",
"*May 2017, Australian police sent UNC3t more information obtained from the arrest and seizure of another suspect in Australia.",
"*Leading up to June 20th, 2017 collaboration with the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement provided criminal intelligence analysis by their experts along with Europol and Interpol.",
"*June 20, 2017 two of the board's administrators (''Twinkle'' aka XXX and ''Forgotten'') were arrested in Portugal and later sentenced on January 23, 2020.Twinkle was caught \"in the act\" of producing CSAM, and he then assisted the Portuguese law enforcement in apprehending ''Forgotten''.",
"*The arrest of Twinkle and Forgotten preceded the arrest and criminal complaint against another Baby Heart site administrator located in Recife/ Pernambuco State (PE) of Brazil This website administrator in Recife purportedly yielded an \"award winning collaboration agreement/plea-deal\" with the Brazilian Federal Public Prosecutor's office|Ministerio Publico Federal (MPF).",
"The administrator turned informant alleged to have an important relationship though the Tor web with the Administrator of the Baby Heart Tor hidden service (and other hidden services).",
"The existence and importance of the information about the Target Website server administrator was allegedly verified between the Brazilian MPF and the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).",
"At the time, the FBI alleged that this one person was maintaining 70% of all CSAM content on the Tor Network Fact checking this statistic makes the statement of 70% improbable or misleading, as multiple press releases published subsequently, during and after the operation of those specific hidden services indicated numbers greater than 30% for any given set of services.",
"An example is the statistical information provided by the U.S. government about the Korean site \"Welcome to Video\" (see Welcome to Video case).Most of what is known about the operation was gathered as a result of Portuguese and later Brazilian authorities conducting press conferences and issuing press releases boasting about their success and participation in what Brazilian authorities described as an \"unprecedented\" joint operation with the United States (US) Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the United Kingdom's (UK) National Crime Agency (NCA)."
],
[
"Methods",
"===Initial Investigation=== *One tool used was Europol's Trace an Object (objects, backgrounds and garments identified on the net in child abuse) with photos from social networks.",
"*Another tool used to identify suspects was Portugal's Polícia Judiciária Scientific Police Force (LPC) by creating palmar impressions from the images which included a view of the suspects hands (the suspects never showed their faces in the uploaded images)*An arrest of one of the hidden service administrator from Recife/PE Brazil yielded a plea deal whereby the administrator would act as an informant to obtain information about the server administrator.===The Operation Start===*Under the terms of a judicially authorized warrant and through the information obtained from the informant, the Brazilian authorities worked with the FBI to obtain the Internet Protocol (IP) address for the server.",
"*A subpoena to the Internet Service Provider (ISP) associated with the suspect IP address was issued, and the ISP provided the physical street address an account information associated with the IP address.",
"The physical address also known as the Target Address given was an address in Recife|PE Brazil.===First Traffic Interception and Analysis===*A warrant was granted to intercept the data stream between the ISP and the suspect target physical address.",
"*The intercepted data was monitored with support by the United Kingdom's National Crime Agency (NCA).",
"They confirmed that 85.53% of the internet traffic corresponded to TOR traffic.",
"The fact that 374 Terabytes (PB) of data flowed through the connection for the duration of the analysis gave law enforcment suspicion that the target was a TOR server node or Tor relay node.===Judicial Authorizations from First interception===The information obtained from the first period of data interception was used to obtain an additional series of warrants.",
"*Wire Taps on the telephone communications associated with the address and individuals associated with the Target Address*Search and Seizure warrant for the email provider associated with the individuals that were associated with the Target address.",
"*Search and Seizure warrant for the Target Address residence*A special Covert Search and Surveillance warrant that allowed for recording devices to be installed within the residence to capture passwords entered by the server administrator.",
"*Controlled Action?===Target Address Search, Wire Tap, and Second Traffic Interception and Analysis===*The second period of interception utilized a deanonymization technique developed by the FBI The law enforcement commenced a DDOS attack on the Target Hidden Service and monitored the intercepted traffic.",
"By pulsing the DDOS attack, the joint task force was able to distinguish between the periods of normal traffic received by the Target Tor Hidden Service and the periods in which the DDOS attack was occurring.",
"The increase in the volume of traffic during the DDOS attacks was a method of corroborating the suspicion that the Target Hidden Service was being operated by a server at the Target Address.",
"*Wire taps of the Target Suspect's phone calls also corroborated the suspicion that he was the Target Server's administrator.",
"His dialogues between him and the ISP regarding the internet service issues were intercepted and recorded.",
"The DDOS Attack resulted in the Target Tor Hidden Service Target Website being inaccessible by users for the duration of the attack as the flood of data exceeded the bandwidth allotted to that internet account.",
"*3/8/2019 the electricity to the Target Address was shutdown*3/12/2019 The First exploratory search of the Target Address in the absence of the inhabitant, which in Brazil is regarded as unprecedented, was conducted.",
"The warrant authorized the installation of surveillance cameras, and an inline keylogger and mouse logger as well as the copying of all data from electronic equipment.",
"However, the installation of surveillance cameras was not performed.",
"Computers, flash drives, internal and external hard drives and other media were all copied for later analysis.",
"*6/5/2019 A Second Exploratory search was conducted of the Target Address (in the absence of the inhabitant), in which law enforcement successfully installed the keyloggers in two keyboards.",
"This technique was the expertise of the NCA, whereby the Law Enforcement agents could obtain the login and passwords to the computers, server and Tor Hidden services/Target Website(s) the next time the administrator logged in.",
"Law enforcment also took this second opportunity to make a complete copy of the server's hard drive for future examination.",
"The electricity to the Target Address was again turned off and then on, which would force the system administrator to type in all of his logins and passwords to restart the system.===Seizure and Arrest===*6/6/2019 The arrest of the Server Administrator Lucas Batista and the seizure of the operational server occurred.===Dissemination and sharing of the seized devices, media and data===The information seized (which included 2,042,408 alleged files of CSAM) was shared with the FBI and NCA.",
"Additional information such as the server administrator's emails, bank statements, tax statements, UBER transactions and destinations, mobile phone data, and surveillance logs from the outside of his residence were used to corroborate the crimes."
],
[
"Legality",
"The initial crimes cited by Brazil Authorities in order establish the validity of the investigation under the Brazilian Criminal Code were: *sale, dissemination, production and storage of child pornography under Article Nos.",
"240, 241, 241-A and 241-B of the ECA (Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente (Child and Adolescent Statute) and *rape, including the vulnerable under Article Nos.",
"213 and 217-ADuring the time the Tor Hidden services were active, starting in early March 2019 the NCA and their partners conducted '''Traffic Analysis''' under the Targeted Equipment Interference (TEI) warrants 91-TEI-0147-2019 and 91-TEI-0146-2019 Despite the notification to the United states in 16 September 2019 that \"at no time was any computer or device interference with in the United States\" and that the \"UK did not access, search or seize any data from any computer in the United States\", there are legal challenges to these statements that as of February 2024 have not been resolved.",
"TEI warrants vs. TE warrants differ in the judiciary approval for interference of Target Devices.",

"Results",
"===The Server Administrator===Lucas Batista Santos was arrested on June 6th 2019 in Sao Paula Brazil for his work in maintaining the servers for the Tor Hidden Services Baby-Heart, Hurt-meh, Boyvids 4.0, Anjos Prohibidos (BR)/Forbidden-Angels, and Loli Lust.",
"According to the FBI, more than 1,839,831 users were registered across the five sites.===Country Specific Summary===*The United States received hundreds of leads from the NCA in August and September of 2019, however as of 2/20/2024 only 38 individuals have been searched resulting in only 27 arrests.",
"2 of the persons arrested died in custody, 1 person who was convicted has since appealed and won the appeal to overturn the conviction, with only 13 convictions having been achieved thus far.",

],
[
"History",
"The jubilee anniversary of the Canterbury province was in 1900, and it was decided that there should be a permanent monument erected to celebrate it.",
"Henry Wigram was made chair of the Jubilee Memorial Committee, tasked with making a choice from a collection of over 100 suggestions.",
"Voters were split between a monument to the Queen (who had just a few years earlier celebrated her Diamond Jubilee), a monument to the pioneer settlers, and a monument to the 79 Canterbury soldiers killed during the ongoing Second Boer War.",
"The Mayor of Christchurch, William Reece suggested an obelisk with attached commemorative plaques as a compromise.",
"By August 1900 the committee had instead settled on a statue of the Queen, and in January 1901 they commissioned Francis John Williamson to create the statue at a cost of £NZ2,000.Victoria died twelve days after the decision was made, and this resulted in a delay in casting the statue.",
"In March 1901 the Christchurch City Council decided the statue would be placed in the square that was then called Market Place, and at the same time they would rename Market Place to Victoria Square.",
"Later that year, during a visit by the Duke of York (grandson of Queen Victoria, later King George V), he ceremonially placed the foundation stone in front of a crowd of thousands.",
"The statue arrived in New Zealand in January 1903, with only one of the six bronze plaques included, but it was unveiled nonetheless on 25 May 1903.Another unveiling ceremony took place on 7 April 1904 once the remaining plaques had been completed.",

"Olive oil raids of 2023 in Europe"
],
[
"Introduction",
"Civil Guard of Spain investigating a counterfeit olive oil labThe '''Olive oil raids of 2023 in Europe''' refers to a coordinated law enforcement effort named Operation OPSON by Spanish, Italian police and Europol to combat a significant food fraud operation involving the production and sale of counterfeit extra virgin olive oil.",
"This operation, uncovered by officials, involved the production of over 260,000 liters of olive oil falsely labeled as high-quality and extra virgin but deemed \"unfit for consumption\" by the experts.The fat in the product was of such poor quality that the operation has been named ''Omegabad'' (bad omega, in reference to the beneficial fat in the oil)."
],
[
"Discovery",
"Initially it all started with an inspection of a oil tanker transporting oil in Manzanares, Spain, where several anomalies were found.",
"Subsequent investigations led to the discovery of a company with two subsidiaries dedicated to the international distribution of adulterated olive oil, one Spanish and the other Italian.",
"In Ciudad Real, Castilla-La Mancha, a company linked to the process of obtaining lampante oils was allegedly used to make changes to the oils produced and falsify documents to market them as \"virgin\" and \"extra virgin\"."
],
[
"Raids",
"In November and December 2023, law enforcement agencies Guardia Civil Interior from Spain and Carabinieri of Italy and Europol of the EU, conducted raids at multiple operation facilities across both countries, dedicated to the international distribution of the adulterated olive oil.",
"These raids led to the arrest of 11 individuals involved in the scheme and seizure of various items.",
"Individuals were suspected of mixing high-quality oil with low-quality \"lampante\" oil, which historically was used as fuel for oil lamps, characterized by its inferior quality due to high acidity levels and unpleasant taste and odor, rendering it unsuitable for consumption according to European Union standards.In Ciudad Real, Jaén and Córdoba Spain 16 oil barrels containing 260,000 liters of adulterated oil and more than 5,200 liters of adulterated olive oil prepared for sale were seized and more than € 91,000 in cash were seized.",
"In Sicily and Tuscany, authorities suspected the involvement of three oil factories in the scheme.",
"In all cases, Europol did not name the companies involved."
],
[
"Methods",
"In Spain, criminals used a company linked to the process of acquiring lower category oils from Portugal to make changes in the category from cloudy to lampante oils in order to convert them into virgin and extra virgin by falsifying the documentation to be able to market them.",
"They mixed the cloudy oils, a by-product of olive oil, with the best quality olive oil to achieve adequate fat and erythrodiol parameters to allow trade.",
"They also prevented the traceability of the product by not registering their company's olive oils."

"The palace played a pivotal role in the history of Bulgaria, witnessing the country's journey through monarchy, communism and democracy.",
"Erected in the late 19th century as the royal residence, the palace's architecture blends various styles, with prominent influences from Austrian Neo-Baroque and French Rococo.Today, the palace serves as the National Art Gallery, housing an extensive collection of Bulgarian art, and is open to visitors."
],
[
"History",
"===Ottoman period===The location of the royal palace is on top of a hill.",
"Starting from the 16th century, it accommodated the Konak, which served as both the administrative and residential center for the local Ottoman prefect.",
"Unfortunately, the structure was ravaged by a fire in 1816, leading to its destruction.",
"Subsequently, the area lay dormant and unused for an extended period.",
"Only between 1873 and 1875 a new Konak was erected—a two-story symmetrical building featuring projections at both ends.",
"Below the Konak, dungeons were allocated for confinement.",
"Through underground tunnels, the structure was connected to the nearby places such as the Chelebi Mosque, the Pasha's house, an inn (at the location of the old hotel ‘Bulgaria’).===From ''Konak'' to Princely Palace - Alexander of Battenberg (1879-1887)===During the Russo-Turkish War of 1877–1878, the Konak served as a hospital.",
"The 1878 Treaty of Berlin made Bulgaria an autonomous state, the Principality of Bulgaria, within the Ottoman Empire, with Sofia as capital.",
"Although remaining under Ottoman sovereignty, the principality functioned independently, taking Alexander of Battenberg as its first prince in 1879.The Konak was designated as his official residence.",
"The National Assembly made funds available to transform the Konak into a princely residence.",
"The building was quickly refurbished by the Russian army, but barely a year after its installation, it became clear that the structure was not suitable to house the prince and his family, who had to move to allow for a complete reconstruction.",
"From 1880 to 1882, the Austrian architect Viktor Rumpelmayer directed the reconstruction of the old konak, which was almost completely demolished, although the foundations were used to erect the new palace, which was also enlarged with an eastern wing for receptions.",
"Likewise, all the façades were redone following the sumptuous and cosmopolitan Second Empire style with chateauesque connotations.",
"The idea was to give the new princely residence a cosmopolitan air that would symbolize Sofia's transformation from an Ottoman provincial city to the capital of a newly independent state.",
"In the execution of the project, Rumpelmayer was supported by the Austro-Hungarian architects Friedrich Grünanger, Antonín Kolář (also known as Adolf Václav Kolář), Jakob Heinrich Mayer and Leers.The space were the demolished Konak stood, served as the residence of Prince Alexander I and a place of work, while the new extension of Rumpelmayer was used for parties and receptions and was organized on three floors: the ground floor for administrative functions, the first floor with the grand ballroom, the throne room, the gala dining room and a winter garden; and the second floor or attic for the service.",
"An opening ceremony took place on 26 December 1882, with the advent of the new year 1883 marked by an unprecedented New Year's ball within the palace.On 20 August 1886, a group of military men unhappy with the outcome of the Serbo-Bulgarian War (1886) stormed the palace and forced the prince to abdicate and then moved him to the border.",
"However, Prince Alexander would return to the capital again, but having lost the support of Russia, he was forced to abdicate definitively on 8 September of the same year.===From Princely to Royal palace - Ferdinand I and Boris III of Bulgaria (1887-1946)===A few months after the fall of Alexander I, the representatives of the Third Great National Assembly, who held a meeting at Tarnovo, offered the throne to Prince Valdemar of Denmark, which he refused.",
"Similarly, the assembly opposed the appointment of Niko I Dadiani, Prince of Mingrelia, proposed by Tsar Alexander III of Russia, as the new prince.",
"On 7 July 1887, to the surprise of the chancelleries and the European courts, the assembly elected Ferdinand I of Saxe-Coburg-Kohary (1861–1948), son of princess Clémentine of Orléans and therefore grandson of the last king of France, Louis Philippe I, as the new prince.European governments reacted with indifference, such as Austria or the Ottoman Empire, or with open hostility, such as Russia, but, on 7 August, Ferdinand left his castle in Ebenthal in Austria and traveled to Bulgaria.",
"On the 16th he took the oath before the assembly at Tarnovo, and on the 23rd he entered Sofia, amidst the curiosity rather than enthusiasm of its inhabitants.In the second construction stage, which started in 1894, the east wing of the palace was built, following the prince's wedding to Marie Louise (1870–1899).",
"Viennese architect Friedrich Grünanger oversaw the construction, while sculptor Andreas Greiss was responsible for the decoration, which incorporated elements of Viennese Neo-Baroque and fin de siècle decoration inspired by the Louis XV and Louis XVI styles.The new wing was completed in 1896 and included new quarters for the princely family, such as a library, reception rooms, a dining room, two winter gardens and a covered porte-cochère.",
"A state-of-the-art electric elevator from the Schindler company was also installed, connecting the ground floor with the first floor.",
"On the first floor were the apartments of Prince Ferdinand, Princess Maria Luisa as well as from the crown prince, the future king Boris III (1894–1943); on the second floor those of prince Kiril (1895–1945) and Princesses Eudoxia (1898–1985) and Nadezhda (1899–1958).Friedrich Grünanger was supported by a wide range of artists such as the sculptor Andreas Greis and architects Franz Aisler, Anaki Shamardzhiev, Yordan Sevov, and Ivan Vassilov.",
"The ornate embellishments adorning the entire palace – including parapets on stairs and terraces, decorative grilles, fences, columns, internal stairs, and more – were meticulously crafted by prestigious Viennese firms \"Rudolf Filip Wagner\" and \"Valerian Hillar\", along with the renowned German establishment \"Ed.",
"Puls\" based in Berlin.",
"The metal facing adorning the fireplaces showcased the expertise of the French company A-ne M-on G. Laury.",
"B-te S.G.D.E.",
"à Paris.",
"Furthermore, the opulent oak doors, featuring intricate marquetry designs composed of exotic wood, ivory, brass, silver, and gold, depicting regal crowns and personal princely emblems, were proudly marked with the insignia of the esteemed firm \"Franz Michel\" from Vienna.Despite all these additions, the palace maintained a compact volume, with comfortable and well-thought-out internal communications, which allowed easy transit between the more institutional reception areas and the more domestic spaces of the princely family.",
"Its total area was 5742.30 square meters, and it had 80 rooms.",
"Until the First World War, the palace was the example to follow for all public and residential buildings in the Bulgarian capital.Not to be forgotten is the garden, created as early as 1879, during the reign of Alexander I of Battenberg, who decided to plant a two-hectare park designed by Anton Kollar that surrounded the palace and was enclosed by a gate.",
"At the west and east ends of the park, aligned with the streets, would be two large, elaborate gates.",
"Its area was 17,690 square meters, and it was adorned with rare species of trees, shrubs and decorative plants.During Christmas 1889, the Royal Palace featured Bulgaria's first Christmas Tree in an official celebration, under the auspices of princess Clémentine of Orléans.",
"The tree was part of a lavish Christmas celebration at the palace, and was decorated by students from the schools in Sofia.The princely family did not inhabit their palace in Sofia all year round, but in summer moved to Euxinograd on the Black Sea coast, while from 1903 onwards they made more and more use of the hunting lodge in Vrana, especially after its expansion in 1909, located on the outskirts of the capital.In 1908, Prince Ferdinand I declared Bulgaria's independence from the Ottoman Empire, which until then had been its suzerain.",
"Ferdinand proclaimed himself Tsar (Цар на българите), which, in this case, is usually translated as \"King of the Bulgarians\", therefore, from this date, the Prince's Palace was renamed the Royal Palace.Although the palace had a Catholic chapel, the religion professed by both Ferdinand and his two successive wives, in 1912, for the coming of age of his eldest son and heir, Boris, it was decided to add an elaborate Orthodox chapel, the majority religion in Bulgaria.",
"As early as 1893, Ferdinand had decided that Boris would be educated in the Orthodox religion, a constitutional obligation, as well as one of the conditions set by Tsar Nicholas II of Russia for the re-establishment of diplomatic relations broken since 1886.Such a decision earned him excommunication by Pope Leo XIII.The orthodox chapel was positioned at the northeast rear side of the old wing.",
"The adornment of the Orthodox chapel was enriched by contributions of artists Anton Mitov and Ivan Markvichka in 1897, as well as from Stefan Badzhov from 1912 to 1916.After the defeat in World War I and Ferdinand's abdication, his son Boris III became the new Bulgarian monarch.",
"Following his marriage to Princess Giovanna of Savoy (1907–2007), daughter of the Italian King Victor Emmanuel III, in October 1930, a thorough renovation and modernization of the palace was carried out.",
"At the same time, the palace was no longer inhabited by Prince Kiril and Princess Eudoxia, Princess Nadezhda had married and lived in Germany since 1924.In 1934, the far-right politician Kimon Georgiev, after staging a coup d'état, was appointed prime minister by the king in the palace.",
"During the Second World War, Bulgaria aligned itself with the Axis powers, with the aim of gaining the region of Macedonia lost during the Second Balkan War and World War I.",
"In 1942, faced with the deteriorating military situation, the royal family moved to live in Vrana Palace, in the outskirts of Sofia, and Tsarska Bistritsa, a hunting lodge in the Rila Mountains near Borovets.Shortly after returning from a visit to Germany, king Boris III unexpectedly died at the age of 49 at 28 August 1943.It is believed the king died from poisoning.",
"Boris was succeeded by his six-year-old son king Simeon II, under a Regency Council headed by Boris's brother prince Kiril.In 1944, another coup d'état brought the pro-communist Fatherland Front to power and Kimon Georgiev, now aligned with the communists, became prime minister again.A gradual purging of the royalist symbols of the Royal Palace began, while the boy-king Simeon II and his family remained in Vrana.",
"In 1946, in the controversial referendum organized by the Fatherland Front government, Bulgarians voted 95% in favor of the republic, the royal family left the country soon after.===Communist Government Headquarters (1946-1953)===Following the abolition and the establishment of the Communist regime on 15 September 1946, the palace became the seat of the Council of Ministers of the People's Republic of Bulgaria and the Higher Party School, along with serving as a temporary residence for newly appointed state officials.",
"Swiftly, the palace hall underwent modifications for the office of the new Prime Minister, Georgi Dimitrov (1882–1949).",
"This transformation involved dismantling and destroying all panelling, with the remaining surfaces coated in whitewash.",
"In 1946, the palace fence met a similar fate, and the palace park was left open and neglected.In July 1949, during the construction of Georgi Dimitrov Mausoleum, the park alley in front of the palace was eradicated.",
"This alteration resulted in the formation of a broad square, the current Battenberg Square, accompanied by a lowering of the surrounding terrain by approximately two meters.",
"The mausoleum was demolished in 1999.Regrettably, the majority of the palace interior succumbed to destruction during these events.",
"The subsequent internal restructuring took on a primitive form: the interiors were boarded up with planks and plywood, haphazardly coated with whitewash.===National Art Gallery (1953-Today)===In 1953, as per decision of the Council of Ministers, the former royal palace was handed over to the National Art Gallery and the National Ethnographic Museum.",
"The building was assigned the status of a cultural monument in 1978.The National Art Gallery is located in the central building and the wing created by Viktor Rumpelmayer.",
"While the National Ethnographic Museum is located in the north-eastern wing created by king Ferdinand I.The National Art Gallery primarily exhibits works by Bulgarian artists created between the 19th century and the present."

"Vobis also expanded abroad and founded, among other divisions, branches in Austria, Poland, Belgium and France.",
"It became Europe's largest personal computer retailer by the mid-1990s.",
"In 1994, due to Microsoft delaying the release date of Windows 95, Vobis decided to pre-install IBM's OS/2 on all of their new PCs.",
"This had the effect of boosting OS/2's popularity in Germany tremendously; it achieved a whopping 40 percent market share in Germany, compared to the United States' paltry 5 percent.",
"Microsoft tried to withdraw Vobis' license for Windows 95, which would have had serious economic ramifications for Vobis, but they later came to an agreement in 1995.In 1997, Vobis introduced the Highscreen Alpha 5000, their first entry in the workstation market, running a DEC Alpha microprocessor.",

[
"Introduction",
"The '''Hungarian–Ottoman War (1437–1442)''' was the seventh confrontation between the Kingdom of Hungary and the Ottoman Empire in the Balkans.",
"The war ended with a Hungarian victory after a decisive clash at Iron Gates in 1442 where the Hungarian forces under John Hunyadi's command defeated a large Ottoman army."
],
[
"Background",
"The Ottoman commanders, continuously pressured Sultan Murad II to take decisive action against the princes along the Danube and later against Hungary.",
"Among these commanders, Isa Bey Ishaković stood out as the most influential, commanding troops on the Serbian border.",
"He accused King Sigismund of Luxembourg and Đurađ Branković of instigating rebellions in Anatolia.",
"Eventually, Murad yielded to the demands of these instigators and, in early 1437, demanded the surrender of Szendrő from Branković.",
"However, Branković refused and instead fortified the castle, entrusting its defense to his son while fleeing with his youngest son, Lazar Branković, and their wealth to their estates in Hungary."
],
[
"War",
"=== Siege of Szendrő ===Murad, aiming to catch Branković off guard with a swift advance, marched towards Serbia with a large army before June and besieged Szendrő.",
"Despite Brankovic's valiant defense, relief troops managed to arrive in time.",
"Lawrence Héderváry, the newly appointed Palatine of Hungary, ordered the Hungarian army under Pongrácz of Szentmiklós to intervene near Belgrade upon learning of the danger.",
"In late June, several thousand Taborite mercenaries hired by Sigismund in Bohemia joined this army, sailing down the Danube under John Jiskra of Brandýs' command from Pozsony to join the conflict.",
"With this reinforcement, Pongrácz secretly approached Szendrő in early July and achieved a surprising victory over Murad's army.",
"John Hunyadi's Transylvanian auxiliary troops also played a crucial role, arriving just in time to contribute to the success.It is rumored that the Ottomans suffered 40,000 casualties in the battle, prompting the remaining forces to hastily retreat from Serbia.",
"Detailed records of the battle's course are lacking, but it is believed that Hunyadi's strategic brilliance and leadership were instrumental in the victory.",
"Meanwhile, another hostile group invaded Transylvania but was defeated by László Csáki, the victorious voivode, and his forces.",
"Sigismund, dealing with the Hussite Wars in Prague at the time, learned of the victory on July 17 through four captured enemy leaders sent to him by the palatine.Murad II's failure at Szendrő in 1437 haunted him, prompting immediate action upon his return from Asia Minor to Europe in the summer of 1438.He mobilized to invade the Banat of Severin and Transylvania.",
"Leading a Ottoman raiding army, Ali Bey Evrenosoğlu, the son of Evrenos, who had faced defeat in the 1432 invasion, marched forward with the voluntary assistance of Vlad II Dracul, the Wallachian voivode disloyal to Hungary.",
"The Ottoman-Wallachian forces crossed the Danube at Szörényvár, advancing through Orșova-Karánsebes and the Iron Gates, encountering significant resistance near Sebeș.",
"While Vlad Dracul persuaded the citizens to surrender, an unnamed Hungarian nobleman retreated with his family to a city tower, preparing for a determined defense.",
"Despite their efforts, the Turks failed to take the tower by storm and resorted to setting a large fire around it.",
"Upon finding no signs of life, the enemy assumed great treasures were hidden within.",
"However, they discovered only a 16-year-old survivor, who, after 20 years of enslavement, vividly recounted his experiences and insights into Ottoman customs and morals upon his return to his homeland.Part of the enemy force retreated from Sebeș to Mediaș, capturing it, while the rest besieged Sibiu.",
"Despite valiant defense, the Turks, after eight days of futile attempts, turned towards Transylvania.",
"After devastating the suburbs of Brașov, they departed through the Törzburg Pass, leaving behind a trail of plunder and 70,000 unfortunate captives.",
"Upon hearing of the invasion, Desiderius Losonci, the Transylvanian voivode, ordered mobilization, but the nobility's reluctance to fulfill their defense duties forced him to prioritize evacuating people and livestock from the affected regions.",
"After the enemy withdrawal, the voivode sought to punish lords and nobles who failed to take up arms, but Queen Elizabeth of Luxembourg's pardon upon her return from Bohemia spared them and restored their estates.With the looming threat of a Ottoman invasion the following year, the country's estates urged Albert II to return from negotiations in Wrocław.",
"Only John Hunyadi, distinguished in battles against the Hussites, was sent back with a significant army to defend the southern territories.",
"Despite repeated calls, Albert's return was delayed until after he suffered a leg injury during a carnival celebration.",
"His late return in March was met with reproaches from the divided national estates amidst growing Ottoman threats.",
"Following the diet of Buda, Albert promptly took action to protect the southern regions as the Turks had indeed carried out their threats from the previous year, pouring a massive army into Serbia, raising concerns of an invasion into Hungarian territory.The Banat of Severin was deemed the most vulnerable part of the country due to its elongated shape, exposing it to enemy attacks from the east, under Ottoman control in Wallachia, as well as from the south and west.",
"Albert had already dispatched John Hunyadi and his brother, who had shown prowess in military matters, to this strategically crucial region.",
"Additionally, citing the severity of the threat, he called upon the nobility to take up arms, with Szeged and the lower Tisza region designated as rallying points for the army.",
"However, compliance with the diet's resolution was slow and reluctant, mainly because the poorer nobles, oppressed by the magnates, sought to shift the burden of military service onto the king, arguing that the danger could be repelled by royal banners and hired mercenaries.Sultan Murad II=== Murad II's campaign against Serbia ===However, events soon contradicted these unfounded assumptions.",
"Sultan Murad II set out at the end of May with a formidable army, allegedly numbering 130,000 soldiers, primarily to occupy Serbia, devastating the Morava region.",
"Đurađ Branković, the Serbian despot, aware of Murad's merciless nature, followed the same tactic as in 1437, he fled to Hungary with his younger son and whatever treasures he could gather, entrusting the defense of his country, especially the fortress of Szendrő, to his son.",
"The Ottoman army, after occupying the Morava region of Serbia in June, immediately began the siege of Szendrő.",
"Meanwhile, some raiding parties, crossing the Danube, harassed the population of Hungary up to the region around Timișoara, which the Hunyadi brothers, with their forces from the Banat of Severin, could barely contain.This was the situation when the king and queen arrived at the camp near Szeged at the end of July, where they learned that the troops called to arms were only slowly assembling, and within their ranks, there was a high degree of indiscipline and dissatisfaction.",
"The surviving records indicate that although the nobility, the Serbian despot, bishops from Veszprém, Vác, and Syrmia eagerly joined the royal pair with their armies, the lower nobility and county militias, seeing the arbitrary departure of the magnates, no longer considered themselves obligated to fight and dispersed.",
"Only about 6,000 men remained in the king's camp under the leadership of Michael Ország, Stephen Rozgonyi, and the two Hunyadis.",
"With this force, Albert intended to reinforce the border fortresses, especially Belgrade, Petrovaradin, Stari Slankamen, and Ilok, while he himself planned to return home.",
"Before leaving Titel, he held a war council with the surrounding magnates and nobles, where they decided to renew the campaign against the Ottomans the following year.",
"Albert promised at this time that he would personally organize and lead the army to be raised, and the 31 nobles present at the council pledged to fully support the king in collecting the aforementioned tax.",
"They also agreed that anyone who dared to oppose it would face punishment by forfeiture of life and property.After this, Albert, already affected by the prevailing contagion in the camp, returned to Buda.",
"Here, he soon fell seriously ill, exacerbated by his attempts to quench his burning thirst with excessive consumption of watermelons.",
"His illness increasingly filled him with an irresistible desire to revisit Vienna, the place of his birth and happy childhood, but he became so ill in Neszmély on the way there that, sensing his imminent death, he managed to draft his last will and testament.",
"Four days later, on October 27, 1439, he died.",
"In his will, he designated his unborn child, if his wife gave birth to a son, as his successor, entrusting the guardianship of the child to a council composed of three Hungarian, three Czech, and two Austrian magnates, and a representative from the city of Prague, with Bratislava designated as the residence of the successor.",
"He did not favor his wife, Elizabeth, whom he knew to be capricious, weak, and conniving, and therefore unsuitable for governance, as his successor on the Hungarian, Austrian, and Czech thrones.",
"He did not consider it acceptable that, amidst such difficult and complex circumstances, with the three countries at odds with each other and the throne, they should fall under the capricious rule of a weak, biased, and easily influenced woman.",
"In contrast, in the event of the birth of a son, the dying king at least hoped that the alliance of the three heterogeneous countries would remain viable.",
"Coronation of Władysław III of Poland as king of Hungary=== Władysław III of Poland becomes king of Hungary ===On the feast day of St. Alexis, King Władysław headed to the church of Alba Regalis early on Sunday morning.",
"Upon arrival, he found the church already bustling with a large crowd, necessitating the removal of all but the clergy, nobles, and elder knights for the smooth execution of the coronation ceremony.",
"Citizens of Buda were also granted entry, as was customary, given their right to partake in armed coronations of Hungarian kings and carry the kingdom's standard.",
"As Cardinal Dionysius, Archbishop of Esztergom, commenced the high mass invoking the Holy Spirit, King Władysław shed his royal garments and received blessings and anointing.",
"He then adorned himself with various regal symbols, each carrying significant historical weight, notably the apostolic cross purportedly given to St. Stephen by the pope in honor of Hungary's embrace of Christianity.",
"The crowning moment saw Władysław donning the golden crown of St. Stephen, symbolizing his commitment to just rule, followed by the reception of the sacrament of the Holy Altar.",
"The assembled knighthood, overseeing the ceremony, ensured its solemnity.",
"Following the coronation, Władysław, following tradition, proceeded to the church of Sts.",
"Peter and Paul to administer justice, a symbolic gesture underscoring the primacy of justice in his reign.",
"His subsequent horseback tour around the city, culminating in a display of his readiness to defend Hungary from all threats, further reinforced his commitment to his people's welfare.",
"Returning to the royal castle, Władysław hosted a lavish feast for dignitaries from both realms, concluding the day with joyful celebrations, dances, and games, marking the auspicious beginning of his reign as King of Hungary.",
"=== Siege of Belgrade ===As different factions within Hungary clashed with each other domestically, Sultan Murad took advantage of the discord by deploying a substantial force to besiege Belgrade, a critical fortress positioned at the junction of the lower Sava and Danube rivers, in early 1440.Leading the defense of Belgrade was Ivan Talovac, a native of Ragusa.",
"Upon learning of the approaching Turkish army, he engaged them with a portion of his garrison before retreating back into the fortress due to their overwhelming numbers.",
"Sultan Murad II then laid siege to the fortress, surrounding it both by land and from the Danube with a fleet of about 100 ships.",
"Despite breaching the walls using cannons and heavy machinery, the Turks faced staunch resistance from Ivan Talovac and his determined defenders, who repelled their attacks for weeks.",
"Talovac's effective use of artillery, as described by contemporary accounts, played a crucial role in thwarting the Turkish onslaught.",
"Frustrated by the lack of progress, Sultan Murad attempted to bribe the garrison into surrendering, but the Hungarians remained steadfast in their loyalty and courage.",
"Unable to break their resolve, the Turks resorted to digging a tunnel beneath the walls, a plan that was foiled by Talovac's counter-tunneling and a strategically timed explosion that decimated the enemy forces underground.John Hunyadi in battle against the OttomansDespite efforts by King Władysław III of Poland envoy to halt the siege, Sultan Murad intensified his attacks, both on land and water.",
"However, the defenders' skill and determination once again prevailed, repelling the Ottoman forces with devastating losses.",
"The sultan, faced with mutiny among his troops, eventually ordered a retreat, concealing the defeat by offering to hand over Belgrade voluntarily as a sign of friendship.",
"With the failed siege behind him, Sultan Murad returned to Adrianople from Belgrade with a host of captives, marking a significant setback in his campaign.",
"Following the conflict at Szeged, John Hunyadi refrained from direct involvement in the recent internal disputes.",
"King Władysław entrusted him with the defense of the southern regions, appointing him as Ban of Severin, Count of Temes, and Voivode of Transylvania, while also assigning him the role of Captain of the Plains.",
"In light of his new responsibilities, Hunyadi established his main headquarters at Belgrade, which faced constant harassment from Ottoman forces in the surrounding area.",
"Despite frequent incursions, Hunyadi successfully repelled the invaders, even as some of their raiding parties crossed the Sava and Danube rivers.When Isa Bey Ishaković, the commander of Szendrő Castle, entertained the idea of seizing Belgrade, despite the fortress's reputation for withstanding previous assaults, Hunyadi took action.",
"Calling upon his ally Nicholas of Ilok in Transylvania, they mobilized Ilok's regiment and a significant portion of Belgrade garrison to confront the impending threat.",
"Their encounter occurred near Császártöltés, marked by the telltale smoke of burning villages signaling the enemy's approach.",
"Despite an initial push from Isa Bey vanguard that drove back the Hungarian front lines, Hunyadi and Ilok's heavy cavalry stood firm, eventually launching a powerful counter-offensive.",
"Their determined assault shattered the Turkish main force, causing Isa's ranks to falter and ultimately leading to a breakthrough in the enemy's lines.",
"Battle between John Hunyadi and Ottomans after the siege of BelgradeFaced with mounting casualties and a precarious position, Isa Bey ordered a retreat.",
"However, the withdrawal quickly devolved into chaos as his troops fell into disorder, pursued relentlessly by Hunyadi's forces all the way to Szendrő.",
"Having routed the enemy, Hunyadi returned to Belgrade with captives and plunder seized from the defeated foe.",
"Furious over the recent setback at Belgrade, Sultan Murad took decisive action in the spring of 1442 by dispatching Mezid Pasha, one of his seasoned commanders, with a formidable army comprising mainly European sipahis, estimated at around 80,000 soldiers by historians.",
"Their mission extended beyond mere conquest, it aimed at pillaging and seizing riches.",
"Upon receiving word of the Turkish advance, Nicholas of Ilok, rallied the Transylvanian nobility to arms and alerted John Hunyadi, stationed at Belgrade, of the imminent threat.",
"Aware of the vulnerability along the Danube-Sava line, Hunyadi personally journeyed to Transylvania without a retinue.",
"However, upon his arrival at Alba Iulia, the designated rendezvous point, Ottoman raiding parties had already ravaged the upper Maros River valley, leaving Ilok with meager armed support.",
"Many, fatigued by relentless storms, failed to mobilize in time, while others, caught off guard by the sudden enemy incursion, couldn't reach the assembly point, falling prey to marauding Turkish bands en route or during their preparations at home.",
"In such dire circumstances, Hunyadi found himself perplexed in Alba Iulia when reports arrived of returning Turkish forces emerging from the Maros area in small contingents.Battle of Santimbru=== Battle of Sântimbru ===György Lépes, the valiant bishop of Transylvania, urged Hunyadi, typically composed and calculated in his actions, to seize the moment and confront the Turks with their modest forces.",
"Driven by their initial fervor rather than strategic deliberation, Hunyadi and Lépes hastily assembled their troops, motivated more by the pursuit of glory than the disparity in enemy numbers, and launched an audacious attack against the Ottoman forces.",
"Upon reaching the Ampoi Creek, the Ottoman vanguard was spotted near Alba Iulia, prompting Lépes to initiate an assault.",
"The initial skirmish favored the Hungarians, compelling the enemy vanguard to hastily retreat towards Sântimbru.",
"Lépes pursued them fervently, with Hunyadi closely following suit.",
"As they approached the Ravine, Lépes encountered fresh enemy reinforcements, prompting Hunyadi to recognize the imminent arrival of Mezid Pasha's main force.",
"Faced with overwhelming odds and the encroaching threat on their flanks and rear, Hunyadi wisely opted against engagement, ordering a strategic retreat.",
"With most of his forces, he successfully broke through the Turkish encirclement, but tragically, Lépes, dismounted during the crossing of the Ampoi, fell victim to the relentless pursuit of the Turks.",
"Mezid Pasha opted not to pursue the retreating Hungarians towards Alba Iulia.",
"Instead, he redirected his forces towards Sibiu, laying siege to the city with the intent of seizing its riches.=== Siege of Hermannstadt (Sibiu) ===Following the unsuccessful initial assault on Sibiu, Mezid Pasha opted to besiege and systematically bombard the city.",
"However, the inhabitants of Sibiu and the fortress garrison, fully aware of the grim fate awaiting them if the enemy prevailed, mounted a fierce defense, thwarting the Turks at every turn.",
"Upon learning of this, Hunyadi expedited the mobilization of forces stationed at Alba Iulia.",
"Accompanied by Nicholas of Ilok, he set out on March 23, 1442, to relieve Sibiu.",
"Though the army under his command was not large, it was courageous and determined, under Hunyadi's firm leadership.",
"Some units were armed with firearms, and cannons accompanied the army.",
"Upon hearing of Hunyadi's approach, the overconfident Mezid allegedly exclaimed in joy:=== Battle of Hermannstadt (Sibiu) ===Mezid was determined to capture Hunyadi, already a feared figure among Turkish troops, and offered substantial rewards for his capture, dead or alive.",
"Upon learning of Mezid Pasha's intentions, Hunyadi devised a plan to turn the situation to his advantage.",
"He entrusted his attire, arms, and horse to Simon Kemény for the upcoming battle, ensuring Kemény's safety as much as possible.",
"Additionally, he assigned 500 distinguished warriors as a personal guard to Kemény and entrusted him with command, while Hunyadi himself, leading the heavy cavalry, remained in reserve nearby.",
"As Mezid Pasha advanced with his forces, neglecting the weaker forces left to observe Sibiu, the exact location of their battle formation cannot be determined.",
"However, the battle took place near a village close to Sibiu, most likely in the vicinity of modern-day Malá Tŕňa, where the terrain favored cavalry combat.",
"At the outset of the battle, it became clear that the majority of Turkish forces were pressing towards Kemény's group, indicating the Turkish leadership's singular focus on capturing the presumed leader.Battle of HermannstadtAs the battle unfolded around Kemény, Hunyadi led his reserves and broke through the flank of the large enemy mass engaged with Kemény's group.",
"Simultaneously, the citizens of Sibiu liberated Hungarian prisoners from the Ottoman camp and attacked the enemy rear.",
"Despite threats from all sides, the Ottoman army persisted, exerting immense force on Kemény.",
"However, the cheers of the Turks upon Kemény's fall soon turned to cries of distress as Hunyadi and the citizens of Sibiu ruthlessly decimated them.",
"Surrounded on three sides, the Ototman army found itself in dire straits.",
"The confusion escalated when Mezid Pasha and his son fell, allegedly slain by László Cserei.",
"With their leaders gone, the resistance of the Turkish army waned, intensifying the Hungarian slaughter.",
"Eventually, the remaining troops fled in disarray.",
"The victors seized the entire camp, laden with treasures and spoils, and freed all the prisoners gathered by the raiding parties in Transylvania.",
"Hungarian light cavalry pursued the fleeing Turks to the mountains, leaving Turkish corpses strewn along the road.",
"Medieval writers estimate the number of fallen Turks at 20,000, while the Hungarians lost only 3,000 men.Mezid Pasha's defeat in Sibiu and the complete surrender of the Wallachian and Moldavian rulers greatly angered and provoked Sultan Murad, who decided to launch a comprehensive punitive campaign against Hungary the following year, intending to lead it personally.",
"To swiftly avenge the defection of the rulers and the setback in Transylvania, Murad entrusted one of his esteemed commanders, Hadım Şehabeddin, with the task of punishing Wallachia and Transylvania, with strict orders not to return until both regions were conquered.",
"Şehabeddin, leading the Rumelian army along with select troops from six Anatolian districts, estimated to be around 80,000 men according to historians, crossed the Danube near Nikopol in June 1442.Dividing his forces into two groups, he wreaked havoc in Wallachia, leaving it virtually desolated.",
"Wallachian voivode Vlad II Dracul, seeing resistance as futile, retreated with his forces into the mountains, where most of the Wallachian population sought refuge.Battle of the Iron Gates=== Battle of the Iron Gates ===After devastating Wallachia, Şehabeddin regrouped his army to march into Transylvania, boasting that merely displaying his turban would make the enemy flee for days.",
"Choosing an alternate route through the Banat of Severin instead of the Transylvanian border mountains, Şehabeddin aimed to enter Transylvania through the Iron Gates.",
"Upon hearing of the Ottoman army's presence in Wallachia, John Hunyadi quickly mobilized Transylvanian forces near Sibiu.",
"Learning that the Ottoman army had diverted towards Orșova, Hunyadi advanced parallel to them along the northern edge of the Transylvanian border mountains, aiming to block their invasion into Transylvania or Hungary, even if it meant a battle of life and death.",
"Though Hunyadi's forces numbered only around 15,000, they were fervent and disciplined warriors inspired by recent victories.The battle of John Hunyadi at the Iron GatesThe vanguard of both armies likely met near the confluence of the Bistra River into the Timiș.",
"While Sehabeddin's raiding parties encountered minimal resistance, Hunyadi covertly followed the main Ottoman army until they reached a suitable spot.",
"Then, Hunyadi descended from the mountains to block their path, surprising Sehabeddin, who fortified his position east of Orșova and west of Bistra, indicating mutual respect between the commanders.",
"On the day of battle, Hunyadi fervently prayed before leading his forces into an attack, initially targeting the center to break through the enemy's unwieldy masses.",
"Despite initial Ottoman resistance, Hunyadi's strategic maneuvers led to chaos among the Ottoman ranks, culminating in a decisive victory.",
"Sehabeddin and many Ottoman commanders fell, and a significant portion of the Ottoman army perished or were captured."

"Vienna Conference (March 1917)"
],
[
"Introduction",
" '''The Vienna Conference of March 16, 1917''' was the first German-Austro-Hungarian meeting since the outbreak of the February Revolution in Russia.",
"For Reich Chancellor Theobald von Bethmann Hollweg, the ministerial meeting was a further opportunity to reaffirm the Reich's war aims in the face of the dual monarchy's new Foreign Minister, Ottokar Czernin.",
"Czernin, the minister of an empire in dire straits, tries to assert the point of view of the dual monarchy, exhausted by two and a half years of conflict, in the face of the Reich, the main driving force behind the quadruplice, and its demands for a compromise peace with the Allies.",
"This decrepitude led Emperor Charles I and his advisors to multiply their initiatives to get out of the conflict, without breaking the alliance with the Reich."
],
[
"Context",
"=== Austro-Hungarian priority to withdraw from the conflict ===The arrival of Charles I at the head of the dual monarchy did not, on the surface, alter the links with the Reich, nor the dual monarchy's desire to emerge from conflict; indeed, as soon as he took office, the emperor announced his desire to see peace restored between the dual monarchy and its adversaries.The dual monarchy's domestic situation and the strained relations between Austria and Hungary prompted the new emperor-king to pursue a policy aimed at ending Austro-Hungarian participation in the conflict; indeed, Emperor Charles, panicked by the decrepitude of his empire weakened by the war, defended the idea of a compromise peace, based on the status quo, allowing the dual monarchy to withdraw.To negotiate this compromise peace, emissaries were sent to Switzerland in early February 1917 to meet neutral and French diplomats, with a view to restoring relations with France, which were initially informal and discreet.",
"However, the emissaries of the Dual Monarchy were actually maneuvered by Matthias Erzberger and Georg von Hertling, then Minister-President of the Kingdom of Bavaria.",
"=== The Central Powers and the Russian Revolution ===The February Revolution put a temporary halt to operations on the Eastern Front, but forced the Reich and the Dual Monarchy to keep a large number of divisions in place to deal with the military initiatives of the provisional government.However, the interpretation of events in Russia helped to widen the gap between the Reich and the Dual Monarchy.",
"Indeed, Austro-Hungarian officials interpreted the Russian revolutionary events of February as a desire for peace; moreover, faced with a lacklustre domestic situation, the German and Austro-Hungarian populations could follow the example of a radical questioning of the political and economic order.Finally, the revolution had the effect of eliminating the Russian Army's operational capabilities, prompting the military planners of the Reich and the Dual Monarchy to redeploy part of their armies from the Eastern Front to Italy, the Balkans and the West.=== The Reich close to victory ===In the first half of 1917, the Reich and its allies seemed poised for victory over the Allies.",
"The Russian front was paralyzed by the revolutionary process; Romania was conquered, and its agricultural and oil wealth rapidly exploited on behalf of the Reich and its allies; the all-out submarine war began to bear fruit: submarines threatened supplies to the United Kingdom; within the French army, a large-scale mutiny movement developed.However, despite this positive balance sheet for the Reich at the end of the two-and-a-half-year war, it was becoming increasingly clear to the leaders of the Central Powers that they were no longer in a position to win the war.",
"Nevertheless, Arthur Zimmermann, the Reich's State Secretary for Foreign Affairs at the time, was confident that the submarine war would asphyxiate the United Kingdom without leading to American intervention against the Central Powers."
],
[
"Negotiators",
"The conference was held at Ballhausplatz Palace, then the headquarters of the Austro-Hungarian Foreign Ministry and official residence of the joint Foreign Minister of the dual monarchy.The Reich Chancellor, Theobald von Bethmann Hollweg, and the Austro-Hungarian Foreign Minister, Ottokar Czernin, took part in the discussions, in the presence of their principal collaborators."
],
[
"Discussions",
"=== The Reich's weight ===Reich Chancellor Theobald von Bethmann Hollweg, shown here in 1917, imposes his conception of war aims on his Austro-Hungarian interlocutor.In the exchanges between the Reich Chancellor and the Austro-Hungarian Foreign Minister, Theobald von Bethamnn Hollweg imposed German goals on his Austro-Hungarian interlocutor, despite the formal equality between the members of the quadruplice.At the beginning of 1917, the new Austro-Hungarian Foreign Minister tried once again to convince the Reich Chancellor to compromise on the conditions for ending the conflict.Despite the existence of a balance of power with the Dual Monarchy that was largely in its favor, the importance of the Reich's positions must be put into perspective: Czernin in fact imposed a minimal framework for defining the war aims pursued by the two allies; the choice of this minimal program was, however, amended by the vagueness of the war aims developed.The weakness of the actual concessions obtained by the Foreign Minister of the Dual Monarchy also illustrates the Reich's position as the main power interested in taking over Austro-Hungarian political and economic interests and positions in the Balkans and Eastern Europe.=== Maintaining the Reich's war aims ===While the political situation in Russia seemed to limit the Russian army's military initiatives, the Reich Chancellor posed as the victor on the Eastern Front.",
"However, there was less and less certainty that the Reich and its allies would be victorious in the protracted conflict.For this reason, the German representative opposed any \"white peace\" or compromise with the Allies.",
"On March 11, a few days before the conference with Czernin, Bethmann Hollweg defined the Reich's main war aims in front of one of his close advisors in the Reich Chancellery, Kurt Riezler, confirming his policy of giving Germany the means to become a true world power: the Chancellor proposed to lay the foundations for a rapprochement between the Reich and, initially, its immediate neighbors Belgium, Poland and the dual monarchy.=== Conditions for ending the conflict ===Against a backdrop of weakening military pressure on the Eastern Front, the German Bethmann-Hollweg and the Austro-Hungarian Czernin defined the minimum conditions under which the German Empire and the Dual Monarchy were prepared to emerge from the conflict.For Germany, the end of the conflict must result, at worst, in a return to the status quo ante bellum, including the restitution of the German colonial empired.",
"However, aware of the reality of the balance of power, Bethmann-Hollweg agreed to try to persuade the dioscuri, who were ultimately the real holders of political power in the Reich at that time, to agree to a compromise peace with the Allies.",
"The German generals Paul von Hindenburg and Erich Ludendorff (the dioscuri) were thinking of forcing Wilhelm II, increasingly confined to a decorative role, to resign as Chancellor.For Austro-Hungary, the territorial integrity of the dual monarchy was, at the end of the winter of 1916-1917, the main goal of the war.",
"For Czernin, the return of the Austrian provinces was an absolute priority, even at the cost of abandoning Austro-Hungarian claims in Poland.=== Shared conquests ===The Siret, here in the Roman region, is intended to mark the boundary between territories annexed to the dual monarchy and those promised to Russia.The distribution of the territories conquered by the Reich and its allies since the outbreak of hostilities was also an issue in relations between the Reich and the Dual Monarchy at the beginning of 1917.Their agreement emphasized the need for a balance between the \"respective military results obtained by the two powers\" and the devolution of the conquests to one or other of the empires.However, in the course of exchanges between the two parties, the tenacious Austro-Hungarian imposed on the German, in exchange for the cession of Poland to the Reich, the transfer of Romania into the Austro-Hungarian sphere of influence: the dual monarchy would annex Romania west of the Siret, Bulgaria would recover Dobroudja, ceded in 1913, and Russia would annex the rest of the kingdom."
],
[
"Consequences",
"=== Minutes of March 27 ===A single set of minutes was drawn up for the Vienna and Berlin conferences on March 26 and 27; indeed, no minutes had been drawn up on the 16th.The Reich Chancellor took part in the drafting of this protocol, but seems not to have informed either the Dioscuri, Paul von Hindenburg and Erich Ludendorff, or the Reich Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Arthur Zimmermann; nor did Theobald von Bethmann Hollweg inform his successor Georg Michaelis of the document's existence.This text set a very flexible framework for the conditions of the end of the conflict, and divided the European conquests of the Quadruplice between the Reich, the Dual Monarchy and Bulgaria, according to the participation of each member of the alliance organized around the Reich in the common war effort.=== The dual monarchy in the face of the Reich ===Ottokar Czernin in ambassador's uniform (portrait by painter Friedrich Miess).As early as March 22, 1917, an Austro-Hungarian Council of Ministers was convened under the chairmanship of Emperor Charles I.On this occasion, the Austro-Hungarian leaders developed an erroneous vision of the German policy of war aims; in fact, Charles and his ministers considered that the Germans were ready to question their plans in the West and to rectify the frontier in Alsace-Lorraine; in exchange for the Reich's renunciation of its claims in Belgium and France, Charles and his advisors proposed abandoning the claims of the dual monarchy in Poland, thus rallying to the \"candidacy solution\".=== The Berlin Conference ===As the Vienna conference was not followed by an agreement on the sharing of European conquests between the Reich and the Dual Monarchy, a new conference was convened in Berlin ten days later, on March 26 and 27, 1917.This conference gave Ottokar Czernin the opportunity to go back on the arrangements made in Vienna, and to make the Reich's free hand in Poland conditional on the dual monarchy being granted freedom of action in Romania; moreover, the Austro-Hungarian minister made the opening of Austro-German negotiations for the conclusion of a customs union between the two empires conditional on Romania being allocated to the dual monarchy, an opening ardently desired by the Reich government."

"Introduction",
"'''''God & Country''''' is a 2024 American documentary film directed by Dan Partland and produced by Rob Reiner.",
"The film discusses the emergence of Christian nationalism and its close relationship with far-right politics in the United States, exploring its perceived threat to democracy and the politicization of Christianity.",
"The documentary is partly inspired by Katherine Stewart's book ''The Power Worshippers'' (2019).",
"It is distributed by Oscilloscope Laboratories.",
"The film was released on February 16, 2024."
],
[
"Development",
"The film is partly based on the work of author and journalist Katherine Stewart.",
"Her nonfiction book, ''The Power Worshippers: Inside the Dangerous Rise of Religious Nationalism'' (2019) concerns the rise of Christian nationalism in the United States and its close connection with right wing politics which supports the politics of Donald Trump, opposes pluralism, and increasingly takes anti-democratic positions.",
"Steve Okin, who worked in the Christian film industry sector for Sony, optioned Stewart's book and brought it to the attention of Rob Reiner.",
"Reiner read the book and brought Dan Partland on board.Before coming on board as director, Dan Partland worked on similar themes in his previous film, ''Unfit: The Psychology of Donald Trump'' (2020).",
"Partland chose to work on the film because he believed that Christian nationalism threatened both democracy and Christianity.",
"\"The problem is the intertwining of a Christian identity with a political identity such that it can be hard to tell where one ends and the other begins.",
"The danger to democracy led me to explore this topic, but what I learned in the process is that the threat may be even greater to the Church itself.\"",
"Oscilloscope Laboratories acquired the domestic rights to the film in September 2023."
],
[
"Release",
"''God & Country'' was shown at a private screening organized by the Baptist Joint Committee for Religious Liberty at the United States Capitol Visitor Center on January 11, 2024, followed by its world premiere at the 39th Santa Barbara International Film Festival on February 10, and its theatrical release on February 16."

"Introduction",
"'''Nexfibre Networks Limited''' (Trade name: '''Nexfibre'''; stylised as '''nexfibre'''), is a British telecommunications network provider that operates a gigabit-capable FTTP broadband network across the United Kingdom.",
"It is a joint venture between Infravia Capital Partners and Opal Jvco Limited (the second joint venture between Liberty Global and Telefónica, the first being Virgin Media O2).Nexfibre plans to offer open access wholesale provision of its network in the near-future, with Virgin Media currently the only provider to connect customers using the network."
],
[
"History",
"=== Company formation ===The company was incorporated as Liberty Fibre Limited with Companies House in the United Kingdom on 27 August 2019, being a wholly-owned subsidiary of Liberty Global.",
"The company was later renamed to Liberty Networks Limited on 22 October 2019.On 21 December 2020, the control of the company was transferred to Virgin Media O2, a joint venture between Liberty Global and Telefónica that brought two of the UK's largest telecommunications companies, O2 and Virgin Media, together.",
"The company was subsequently renamed to Virgin Networks Limited on 7 January 2021.=== Liberty Global, Telefónica and Infravia joint venture ===In July 2022, it was announced Liberty Global and Telefónica had formed a joint venture with Infravia Capital Partners, with the partnership stated to be worth an initial £4.5 billion.",
"It is the second joint venture between Liberty Global and Telefónica, whilst also being the second joint venture between Liberty Global and Infravia, with the companies having already teamed up to develop a similar fibre optic network in Germany.",
"As a result of the partnership, Virgin Networks Limited was transferred to Opal Jvco Limited on 21 October 2022.Infravia, through subsidiary Crown Infra Bidco Limited, hold a 50% stake in the company whilst the remaining 50% is held by Opal Holdco Limited, the legal entity behind Liberty Global and Telefónica's joint venture.",
"The company took on its current legal name of Nexfibre Networks Limited on 22 December 2022.The purpose of the joint venture is to fund the build of a fibre-to-the-property (FTTP) broadband network across the UK, with a focus on connecting premises that are not already served by VMO2's existing infrastructure.",
"Nexfibre intends to have an initial five million premises connected to its network by 2026, with plans to connect an additional two million premises beyond 2026.Like CityFibre, Nexfibre is aiming to provide open wholesale access to other internet service providers, with VMO2 being the first provider to use the network to connect customers.",
"In addition to this, VMO2 is also assisting in the construction of the network, as well as providing technical support and expertise to support the rollout.=== Network rollout ===In June 2023, VM02, Nexfibre's anchor wholesale client, launched commercial services using the company's XGS-PON full fibre network.",
"VMO2 later launched a 2Gbit/s package for eligible customers in February 2024.For an additional cost, the provider offers symmetrical download and upload speeds, making it the first major UK broadband provider to do so.",
"It wasn't, however, the first broadband provider in the UK to offer a symmetric package above 2Gbit/s, with Blackpool-based provider Yayzi offering a 2.3Gbit/s service through the CityFibre network.",
"At the time of launch, it was noted that the maximum speed falls short of what other altnets (alternative network providers) such as B4RN (10Gbit/s), YouFibre (7Gbit/s) and Community Fibre (3Gbit/s) currently offer to consumers reached by their networks.On 17 July 2023, Nexfibre announced it had secured a £250 million commitment from the UK Infrastructure Bank to support its full fibre network rollout.",
"The funds came in addition to £1.4 billion in equity commitments from its owners.On 6 September, it was announced that VMO2 had acquired altnet provider Upp in a move designed to expand Nexfibre's footprint by an additional 175,000 premises in the East of England.",
"As part of the acquisition, VMO2 will focus on completing Upp's build, as well as integrating and aligning the network before transferring it to Nexfibre.On 2 October, Rajiv Datta was appointed as the company's chief executive officer.",
"Datta replaced interim CEO Bernardo Quinn, with Quinn taking a seat on the company's board.",
"Datta had previously worked in the building and managing of large fibre-based networks at companies including Colt Technology Services and AboveNet.",
"At the time of Datta's appointment, it was revealed Nexfibre had passed more than 500,000 premises.",
"The following month, in November, the company unveiled its \"nationwide rollout plan\", with the initial rollout primarily focusing on areas in Cheshire, Kent and Durham in England, and areas in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland also included.In a podcast interview with Zen Internet's founder Richard Tang in February 2024, Datta claimed the company will connect more homes to full fibre in the UK than any other altnet in 2024, including rival provider CityFibre, utilising the expertise of VMO2 in a period many altnets are slowing down due to operational difficulties."

"encouraged by the installation of two boarding schools in the city.",
"The parish of Radès was created in 1900.A temporary chapel made entirely of metal was built.",
"The very particular construction material explains that “in winter, it freezes there and in summer, it was a furnace”.=== During the French protectorate ===Maxula Radès church in January 1920.The steps for the construction of a permanent place of worship began in 1900 when the municipal council of Maxula Radès requested from the government of the protectorate the granting of a subsidy for the purchase of land and the construction of a church.",
"In its response of 15 November 1900, the general secretariat of the government recalled that in the name of the separation of Church and State, the latter cannot subsidize the construction of a religious building.",
"As for the land, the Department of Agriculture having been consulted with a view to transferring a plot of land, responded that \"the State domain does not have any land in Radès that could be used for the construction of a church and a presbytery”.",
"The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Tunis, Monseigneur Clément Combes, had no choice but to buy a plot of land of 1,010 m2 for the sum of 1,515 francs from two individuals, Mrs Foin and Miraude.It was Father Martin, parish priest of Hammam-Lif, who was responsible for drawing the plans for the building, helped by a contractor, Mr. Nicolas.",
"The budget for the project amounts to 19,460 francs financed for 13,500 francs by the archbishopric of Carthage, the balance coming from donations from the faithful.",
"The church was inaugurated in 1911 and celebrated in the diocesan newspaper:=== Ater independence ===The independence of Tunisia in 1956 caused the departure of most Europeans.",
"The church was finally closed on the occasion of the modus vivendi signed between the Tunisian government and the Vatican City on 10 July 1964.The building was transferred free of charge with the assurance that it would only be used for purposes of public interest.",
"It is then left abandoned.As part of a project to transform it into a cultural center, work began in September 2022 before being interrupted in December due to the discovery of Punic cisterns which are the subject of excavations by the National Heritage Institute (INP).",

"Bairdops"
],
[
"Introduction",
"'''''Bairdops''''' is an extinct genus of mantis shrimp that lived during the Early Carboniferous period in what is now Scotland and the United States.",
"Two named species are currently assigned to it.",
"The type species, '''''B.",
"elegans''''', has been collected from several Dinantian-aged localities in Scotland, and was first described in 1908 by British geologist Ben Peach as a species of ''Perimecturus''.",
"The generic name was coined decades later in 1979 by American paleontologist Frederick Schram, and honors William Baird.",
"A later species, '''''B.",
"beargulchensis''''', was named in 1978 after the Serpukhovian-aged Bear Gulch Limestone of Montana where it was discovered.",
"The two species were originally deemed close relatives based on their physical similarities, but several cladistic analyses published since 1998 have suggested the genus may be polyphyletic.A carnivore like all mantis shrimps, ''Bairdops'' handled food with its raptorial thoracic appendages and has been proposed to either predominantly be a scavenger or a predator of crustaceans and small fish.",
"Early mantis shrimps like such as this genus would have been unable to capture prey while standing on the seabed like their modern counterparts and instead are believed to have been benthopelagic, perhaps grabbing prey from above while swimming just over the bottom.",
"Members of this genus reached a moderate size, with ''B.",
"beargulchensis'' having a carapace length of and a total abdomen length of , while the slightly smaller ''B.",
"elegans'' reached a carapace length of and a total abdomen length of .Because the various sites from which ''B.",
"elegans'' fossils have been collected represent a wide range of habitats including marine environments, brackish bays and even a lake, this species is believed to have been tolerant of a wide salinity range.",
"Its preferred habitat appears to be marine since most of its specimens originate from such a setting, and it only lived in the aforementioned lake when the water was brackish, disappearing from it after its salinity dropped below the animal's tolerance range.",
"''B.",
"beargulchensis'' is only known to have inhabited the marine bay where the Bear Gulch Limestone was deposited, a location which was 10 to 12 degrees north of the equator and had a monsoon climate."
],
[
"Discovery and naming",
"Fossils of ''Bairdops elegans'' as illustrated in 1908, originally labelled as ''Perimecturus ensifer''The fossilized remains of ''Bairdops'' have been discovered decades prior to the establishment of the genus.",
"In 1908, Ben Peach became the first to study specimens of this animal, which were collected in Scotland by A. Macconochie.",
"However, Peach believed they represented members of ''Perimecturus'', another genus of early stomatopods.",
"He erected the species ''Perimecturus elegans'' based on remains found near the River Esk in Glencartholm.",
"In addition, he also erected the species ''Perimecturus ensifer'' from fossils found in Liddel Water, Newcastleton and Glencartholm.In 1979, Frederick Schram found that ''P.",
"elegans'' and ''P.",
"ensifer'' were indistinguishable from each other, thus the latter was declared as a junior synonym of the former.",
"He also noted that the tail fan, body shape and size of this species differed significantly from what is seen in other species of ''Perimecturus''.",
"Schram therefore erected the genus ''Bairdops'' with ''P.",
"elegans'' as the type species, which was subsequently renamed as ''Bairdops elegans'', and the specimen GSE 5879 was designated as the lectotype of this species.",
"The generic name honors William Baird, the Assistant Curator of the fossil invertebrate collection at the Royal Scottish museum.Additionally, Schram described a second species of ''Bairdops'' in 1978 which he named ''B.",
"beargulchensis''.",
"The specific name refers to the Bear Gulch Limestone in Fergus County, Montana, where the holotype (UM 6217) was collected.",
"Factor and Feldman (1985) declared this species to be a junior synonym of ''Tyrannophontes theridion''.",
"However, a later study by Jenner ''et al.''",
"(1997) found that ''B.",
"beargulchensis'' is most similar to ''B.",
"elegans'', thus revalidating ''B.",
"beargulchensis''.",
"They also found that some of the fossils in Schram's original sample represent a separate species they named ''Tyrannophontes acanthocercus'' (now moved to the genus ''Daidal''), and that this is likely responsible for the earlier study finding ''B.",
"beargulchensis'' similar to ''Tyrannophontes''."
],
[
"Description",
"''Bairdops'' is a crustacean of moderate size, with ''B.",
"elegans'' having a carapace length of and a total abdomen length of .",
"''B.",
"beargulchensis'' is slightly larger and more robust, with a carapace ranging from and a total abdomen length of .The rostrum is about a third the length of the carapace and is spatula-like in shape, with a tapering, pointed tip and a wide base.",
"The antennae are not well preserved, but it is known the scaphocerite (exopod of the antenna) is very large.",
"A pair of large and circular compound eyes are present on the head.",
"The large, elongated carapace covers the entire thorax in ''B.",
"elegans'', whereas in ''B.",
"beargulchensis'' it leaves only the top of the eighth thorax segment exposed.",
"The carapace has a subrectangular shape and a furrow on its edges.",
"This furrow is prominent in ''B.",
"elegans'' but very slight in ''B.",
"beargulchensis''.",
"The back margin of the carapace is concave at the top, with its sides extending slightly further and reaching the front of the first abdominal segment.Pairs of raptorial appendages are attached to the thorax, though it is unclear whether there are four or five pairs of these.",
"The coxae, ischiomeri and carpi of these appendages are short, whereas the propodi (penultimate segment) and dactyli (final segment) are longer.",
"The longest segment of a raptorial appendage in ''Bairdops'' is the basis.",
"Though Schram and Horner (1978) claimed the propodi of ''B.",
"beargulchensis'' possessed two rows of spines, this observation was based on specimens now reassigned to ''Daidal acanthocercus''.",
"Propodus spines are currently believed to only be present in ''B.",
"elegans''.All thoracic segments are shorter than the abdominal segments.",
"The thoracic segments further front possess narrow sternites and are smaller than the sixth to eighth thoracic segments.",
"The abdominal segments decrease in both height and width down the animal's length, and their side margins are rather straight.",
"Moderate furrows are present on the lower margins of each abdominal segment.",
"In ''B.",
"beargulchensis'', the fifth and sixth abdominal segments may possess one or two backward-pointing ridges extending past the back margin of their respective segments, a feature absent in ''B.",
"elegans''.Telson of ''B.",
"elegans''The somewhat delicate tail fan includes a telson which tapers into a long median spine, while a shorter spine is present on either side of this median spine.",
"Three keels are seen on the telson, with one running down the middle and another on either side of it, which all converge near the end of the telson.",
"The protopod (basal segment) of the uropod has a projection extending over the ramus, while the blade-like exopod is made up of a sclerotised outer part and more membranous inner part."
],
[
"Classification",
"Fossil specimens of ''Bairdops'' were first assigned to the family Perimecturidae by Ben Peach in 1908, and to this day the genus is still placed within this family.",
"Peach believed Perimecturidae to be intermediate forms between Lophogastridae and Anaspididae, and assigned the family to the currently defunct order Schizopoda.",
"It was not until 1962 that the Perimecturidae family were recognized to be early forms of mantis shrimps, when H. K. Brooks reassigned the family to the order Palaeostomatopoda (currently delisted as a suborder and named Palaeostomatopodea).",
"As cladistic analysis became more widely conducted, the palaeostomatopods were first recovered to be a paraphyletic grouping by Jenner ''et al.''",
"(1998), and this paraphyly was then confirmed by Schram (2007).",
"The paraphyletic use of Palaeostomatopodea is used today for the convenience of referring to the evolutionary grade.Though ''B.",
"elegans'' and ''B.",
"beargulchensis'' were initially placed in the same genus due to their overall similarity, the monophyly of the genus has been questioned.",
"Jenner ''et al.''",
"(1998) was the first to propose that ''Bairdops'' may be polyphyletic, recovering ''B.",
"beargulchensis'' to be closer to ''Perimecturus'' than ''B.",
"elegans''.",
"Schram (2007) similarly suggested ''Bairdops'' to be polyphyletic, but instead found that ''B.",
"elegans'' was the sister taxon to ''Perimecturus rapax''.",
"Haug ''et al.''",
"(2010) recovered ''B elegans'' as the second-earliest lineage of mantis shrimps to diverge (with ''Archaeocaris'' being the most basal), being a sister taxon to the clade including all other mantis shrimps except ''Archaeocaris''.",
"Smith ''et al.''",
"(2023) conducted a phylogenetic analysis which also supports the idea that ''Bairdops'' is polyphyletic, though the family Perimecturidae was found to be monophyletic.",
"Their results are displayed in the cladogram below:"
],
[
"Palaeobiology",
"===Feeding===Like all other mantis shrimp species, ''Bairdops'' would have been carnivorous, using its raptorial thoracic appendages to handle prey.",
"Clarkson (1985) suggested that small fish and the crustacean ''Belotelson'' were among the prey of ''B.",
"elegans''.",
"Unlike modern mantis shrimps of the suborder Unipeltata, the raptorial appendages of palaeostomatopods like ''Bairdops'' lack a click-joint mechanism formed by a specialized joint and its associated muscles.",
"Such a mechanism is what allows modern mantis shrimps to quickly extend the second pair of thoracic appendages to capture prey.",
"Lacking this, the appendages of ''Bairdops'' are more similar to the smaller, third to fifth pairs of thoracic appendages in unipeltatans used to manipulate prey after capture.",
"Jenner ''et al.''",
"(1998) thus proposed that ''Bairdops'' was an opportunistic scavenger and specialized in dead food.",
"In contrast, Haug and Haug (2021) suggested that since their appendage morphology would not allow them to capture prey from the seabed, early mantis shrimps would instead have been benthopelagic predators, possibly capturing prey from above while swimming just above the bottom.",
"This is unlike modern mantis shrimp, which are bottom-dwelling predators as adults, though their larvae are benthopelagic and thus studying them could allow better knowledge of early stomatopods.===Salinity tolerance===Fossils of ''Bairdops elegans'' have been collected from various localities in Scotland representing a wide range of salinities.",
"The species is most abundantly found at Glencartholm, which was a marginal to fully marine environment at the time of deposition, but some specimens are also found at sites representing brackish bays (Newcastleton and the Granton Shrimp Bed).",
"Several remains have even been found at the Foulden Fish Bed, representing an occurrence of the species in a non-marine lake.",
"The range of environments in which ''B.",
"elegans'' occurs suggests this species had broad salinity tolerance, though it was most common in marine habitats."
],
[
"Palaeoenvironment",
"The geologically oldest known record of ''Bairdops'' is represented by remains of ''B.",
"elegans'' from the lower part of the Foulden Fish Bed, a site within the Ballagan Formation in Scotland.",
"This locality dates to the Dinantian series, and the lack of definitively marine species in its fossil content suggests the Foulden Fish Bed was a non-marine lake at the time of deposition.",
"This lake would have been near the sea and was susceptible to fluctuations in salinity and water level.",
"As a result, the horizons of the Fish Bed show a reciprocal relationship in the abundance of crustaceans and palaeoniscid fish: the lowest horizon has ''Bairdops elegans'' and numerous ''Belotelson'' fossils, which abruptly become absent in the horizon directly above while palaeoniscids appear (likely arriving from another lake at a time of higher water levels) and persist to the top of the Bed.",
"In an upper horizon, ''Belotelson'' reappears in lower numbers than before.",
"However, ''Bairdops elegans'' appears to have only lived in this lake during the deposition of the lowest horizon, when the lake was brackish and had few fish.",
"It was likely extirpated from this area when the water level rose, lowering the salinity beyond its range of tolerance and allowing fish which preyed on it to invade, and failed to recolonize the lake the way ''Belotelson'' did.Fossils of ''Bairdops elegans'' are also known from other Dinantian-aged deposits in Scotland.",
"Two localities in which the species occurs, the Granton Shrimp Bed and Newcastleton, represent brackish interdistributary bays.",
"The Granton Shrimp Bed has one of the most diverse Dinantian fossil assemblages of crustaceans in Britain, and has been interpreted to represent periodically exposed mudflats at a low water stand of a lagoon.",
"The sediment was anoxic just under the surface.",
"The most abundant crustacean at the Granton Shrimp Bed is ''Waterstonella'', a small swimming species which has been proposed to be a prey item for ''Bairdops''.",
"Other crustaceans from the site include ''Crangopsis'', ''Minicaris'', ''Palaemysis'', ''Tealliocaris'', ''Pseudogalathea'', ''Anthracocaris'' and ''Eocypridina''.",
"Different animal groups such as fish (including ''Rhadinichthys'' and a rhizodont), hydrozoans and molluscs are also represented.The site where the most specimens of ''B.",
"elegans'' have been found is the Glencartholm Volcanic Beds, deposited in a nearshore marine environment.",
"This locality has the most marine influence of all sites which have yielded ''B.",
"elegans'' remains, and its abundance here may suggests this is the preferred habitat for the species.",
"''Bairdops'' is deemed a common crustacean in this area, as are ''Belotelson'', ''Anthracocaris'', ''Perimecturus'' and ''Anthracophausia'', while ''Crangopsis'', ''Pseudotealliocaris'' and ''Sairocaris'' are even more abundant than the aforementioned taxa.",
"Fish are also well-represented within the Beds, with more than 200 specimens of over 30 species known.",
"Fossils of plants, bivalves, scorpions and xiphosurans have also been found in the area.The species ''Bairdops beargulchensis'' is known only from the Bear Gulch Limestone of Montana, which dates to the Serpukhovian stage of the early Carboniferous period, approximately 324 million years ago.",
"Thus, ''B.",
"beargulchensis'' is geologically younger than any known occurence of ''B.",
"elegans''.",
"During this time, central Montana was located 10 to 12 degrees north of the equator, at the boundary between an arid belt in the north and a tropical belt in the south.",
"The area would have had a monsoonal climate with distinct wet summer and dry winter seasons, comparable to the climate of the modern African Sahel.",
"The Bear Gulch Limestone is interpreted to have been a marine bay oriented from northwest to southeast.",
"An extremely diverse fossil assemblage is known from this site, with numerous types of fish including chondrichthyans (such as petalodonts, holocephalans, symmoriiforms, squatinactids and ''Thrinacodus''), acanthodians, actinopterygians and coelacanths.",
"Invertebrates are also found here, including crustaceans, bivalves, polychaete worms and cephalopods."
