title: William H. Wisener

text:
William H. Wisener (April 22, 1812 – December 24, 1882) was an American politician, active primarily at the state level in Tennessee during the mid-19th century. He served four terms in the Tennessee House of Representatives (1847–1849, 1851–1855, and 1859–1861), including one term as Speaker (1853–1855).  A Southern Unionist, he led the opposition to secession in the House on the eve of the Civil War.  After the war, he served in the Tennessee Senate, where he introduced the 13th Amendment for ratification in April 1865.

Wisener was the Republican nominee for governor in 1870, but was defeated by the Democratic candidate, John C. Brown.

Early life and career

Wisener was born in what is now Marshall County, Tennessee, which at the time was still part of Bedford County.  He studied law, and moved to the county seat of Bedford, Shelbyville, in April 1835.  He joined the burgeoning Whig Party around this time, and began publishing a pro-Whig newspaper, The People's Advocate, in 1836.  He sold this paper in 1838 to focus on his law practice.

In 1847, Wisener ran for Bedford's seat in the Tennessee House of Representatives, and won by a narrow margin.  As Bedford was almost evenly divided between Whigs and Democrats, all of Wisener's electoral victories prior to the Civil War were by margins of less than 200 votes out of about 3,000 cast.  He did not seek a second consecutive term in 1849, but ran again in 1851, having received his party's nomination over former congressman Daniel L. Barringer, and was reelected in the general election.  In his 1853 reelection bid, he defeated his Democratic challenger, E.N. Bobo, 1,278 votes to 1,103.  He was elected Speaker in October 1853, defeating William Wallace of Blount County by a vote of 43-30.

Wisener supported funding for internal improvements, judicial reform, and tax reduction.  He voted in favor of a failed prohibition measure in February 1854, and delivered a speech in support of a bill that would sell state-owned lands to fund public schools that same month.  In March 1854, he voted for a resolution expressing the legislature's support for the Kansas-Nebraska Act.

Following the collapse of the Whig Party, Wisener, like many Tennessee Whigs, threw his support behind the American Party (Know Nothings).  Though he didn't run for reelection after his third term in the House, he served as the 6th district elector for American Party presidential candidate Millard Fillmore in the 1856 presidential election.  In May 1857, Wisener presided over the state's American Party convention in Nashville.

Secession and the Civil War

In March 1859, Wisener represented Bedford County at the state convention of the Opposition Party, which had been formed by Unionists and former Whigs to oppose the rising separationist sentiments among Southern Democrats.  That year, he once again sought Bedford's seat in the state house, and defeated his Democratic opponent by a slim margin.  His assignments included the House Committee on Banks and the House Judiciary Committee.

Although bank reform dominated the first few days of the 1859 state legislative session, John Brown's raid on Harpers Ferry in October 1859 thrust the issue of slavery back to the forefront.  While the pro-Union faction of the legislature was increasingly outnumbered, Wisener provided persistent opposition to secessionist initiatives throughout most of his term.  In late November 1859, he attempted to amend a House resolution condemning Northern Republicans for destabilizing the Union to extend the blame to "disunionists" and "secessionists," arguing they were equally at fault.  He "occupied nearly the whole of the morning session" on December 1 speaking in favor of this amendment, but it was eventually tabled.  In January 1860, Wisener opposed a bill expelling free men of color from the state.  In March 1860, he introduced a bill instructing the state's two U.S. senators to procure land in Mexico for the expelled free men of color, which failed.

The election of Abraham Lincoln to the presidency in November 1860 increased calls for secession, and the Tennessee state legislature called for a convention to consider secession in January 1861.  Wisener was one of just five representatives to vote against holding this convention.  He introduced a series of resolutions on January 8, 1861, stating that secession was unconstitutional and "a remedy for no existing evil."  He argued the United States government was adequate for the protection of Southern states' rights.

While Tennessee voters rejected the secession convention in a statewide referendum in February 1861, the Battle of Fort Sumter reignited the debate.  In late April, Wisener was one of six representatives to vote against a resolution approving of Governor Isham G. Harris's refusal to comply with President Lincoln's call for troops to put down the rebellion, and one of seven to vote against a bill authorizing Harris to raise three regiments for Confederate forces.  Wisener attempted (unsuccessfully) to amend the latter bill to require that the troops be used specifically for the defense of the state.  In May 1861, he voted against forming a military league with the Confederacy.  After the state voted to secede on June 8, 1861, Wisener attempted to leave the legislature, but Governor Harris refused to accept his resignation.  In subsequent days, Wisener voted for a number of measures that sustained the pro-Confederate actions of the state, including a bill that would provide a pay raise for the state's troops, and a bill authorizing the governor to arm and equip the new regiments.  Though later assailed for these votes by political opponents, he defended them, arguing he was simply voting the will of Bedford County, which had become overwhelmingly secessionist.

After his tumultuous term ended in August 1861, Wisener returned to his home in Bedford County.  When the Union Army regained control of Nashville in early 1862, Wisener spoke at a Union rally in the city, where he endorsed the state's new military governor, Andrew Johnson.  In November 1862, Wisener organized a rally for the state's "Union refugees" living in Nashville.  During the presidential campaign of 1864, Wisener canvassed the state as an at-large elector for President Lincoln.

Tennessee Senate

In January 1865, Wisener spoke at a statewide Unionist convention that had been called for the purpose of reestablishing a state government.  In March, he was elected to the state senate seat for Bedford and Marshall counties without campaigning.  On April 5, 1865, Wisener introduced the bill in the state senate ratifying the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which passed unanimously.  Wisener resigned his seat after just four weeks in office.

Wisener was among the candidates considered for one of the state's two U.S. Senate seats in May 1865. His record in the days following the Ordinance of Secession in 1861 came under scrutiny, and he was accused by opponents of "providing aid and comfort" to the enemy for his votes in favor of several pro-Confederate measures.  Wisener dismissed the charges, and the Nashville Daily Union and a group of pro-Union Bedford Countians came to his defense.  Nevertheless, his bid for the senate seat failed, with the legislature instead choosing Joseph S. Fowler.

Wisener was reelected to the state senate in 1867.  He served as Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and was one of three members of a special committee that investigated the burgeoning Ku Klux Klan.  Wisener supported the use of the state guard and federal troops to quell the Klan's rising influence.  He also supported Governor William G. Brownlow's controversial decision to throw out hundreds of votes in the 4th district to aid his political ally, Samuel Arnell, arguing the Klan had interfered in the election.

Wisener opposed the state's 1870 constitution, arguing it wasn't strong enough in its recognition of Tennessee as a perpetual part of the Union.  He was particularly opposed to the inclusion of a poll tax in the final document.

1870 campaign for governor

Wisener was nominated for the Tennessee Supreme Court on the Republican ticket in July 1870, but with former Confederates reenfranchised, he was badly defeated in the August general election (though he garnered the most votes of any Republican candidate).  At the state Republican Party convention a month later, Wisener was nominated by fellow Bedford Countian James Mullins as the party's candidate for governor.  The other potential nominees, among them Horace Maynard, John Trimble, and David Alexander Nunn, withdrew their names, allowing Wisener to win the nomination.  Democrats nominated as their candidate former Confederate general John C. Brown.

The Republican platform endorsed the policies of President Ulysses S. Grant, called for the establishment of public schools, supported policies that encouraged immigration, opposed the repudiation of the state's debt, and demanded the enforcement of rights guaranteed by the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments.  In his acceptance speech, Wisener attacked the 1870 constitution, and stated he would enforce all federal laws and would bring in federal soldiers if necessary.  He also vowed to crush the Ku Klux Klan.

Much like Wisener's 1865 U.S. Senate opponents, Democrats rehashed his Tennessee House voting record from the days following the state's Ordinance of Secession in June 1861, and accused him of hypocrisy for attacking former Confederates on the secession issue.  Wisener argued that his votes during that period were largely to provide better pay for Confederate soldiers, noting that he had always been a champion of the poor, and that the poor were the ones fighting in the war.  The Knoxville Chronicle, a Republican newspaper, came to his defense, stating, "the Union people of the State are satisfied that he is now, and always has been, opposed to the doctrine of secession..."  Another newspaper, The Fayetteville Observer, stated that Wisener's June 1861 voting record provided "no evidence of anything more than humanity," though it accused Wisener of charging the government outrageous legal fees during the Brownlow administration.

The two candidates engaged in a series of public debates in early October 1870.  At one such debate in Knoxville, Brown attempted to show that Wisener had been a secessionist, going so far as to state he was induced to enter the Confederate Army due to Wisener's influence.  He spoke in favor of states' rights, referring to the federal government as a "central despotism," and criticized the manner in which the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments had been ratified.  In response, Wisener sarcastically stated that since he was now a "proven" rebel, he expected large numbers of Democratic votes in the election.  He criticized Brown for not recording most of his votes at the 1870 constitutional convention, and noted that one of his few public votes had been for the poll tax.

On election day (November 8, 1870), Wisener, who had described his campaign as a "forlorn hope," was badly defeated, 78,979 to 41,500.  It was the beginning of a long period of dominance in state politics by the Democratic Party.  Republicans would control the governor's office for just two of the next forty years, and eight of the next one hundred years.

Later life

In December 1870, a few weeks after Wisener's defeat in the race for governor, his son, William H. Wisener, Jr. (1840–1880), was involved in a violent altercation with future Nashville Banner publisher, E.B. Stahlman (1843–1930).  The two had been squabbling over a fee at the Southern Express Company, where Stahlman worked at the time, when Wisener, Jr., drew a gun and shot Stahlman.  A coworker of Stahlman then shot Wisener, Jr., seriously wounding him.  The younger Wisener was convicted of the assault and sentenced to prison, but was pardoned by Governor Dewitt Clinton Senter.

Although he never again held elected office, Wisener remained active in politics for the rest of his life.  He was a delegate to the 1872 Republican National Convention in Philadelphia, and campaigned as an elector for President Grant later that year.  Wisener ran for the 5th district seat in Congress in 1874, but was easily defeated by the Democratic incumbent, John Morgan Bright, 10,224 votes to 3,831.  He unsuccessfully sought the Republican nomination for governor in 1876, and was a delegate to the 1880 Republican National Convention in Chicago.

Wisener worked as Shelbyville's postmaster during the last years of his life.  He died on Christmas Eve, 1882.  He is interred in Shelbyville's Willow Mount Cemetery.

text:
The 2014–15 FC Basel season was the 122nd season in club history and the club's 20th consecutive season in the top flight of Swiss football.

Basel were the reigning Swiss Super League champions. They prepared their season with various warm-up matches against teams from Switzerland, Austria and Czech Republic. Their 2014–15 Swiss Super League season began on 19 July with an away game against Aarau. Basel qualified for the 2014–15 UEFA Champions League, starting in the group stage. They were drawn in Group B against Real Madrid, Liverpool and Ludogorets Razgrad and started on 16 July with an away tie against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium. In the first round of the 2014–15 Swiss Cup, played on 23 August 2014, Basel were drawn away against CS Italia. The final was played on 7 June 2015.

Club

FC Basel Holding AG
The FC Basel Holding AG owns 75% of FC Basel 1893 AG and the other 25% is owned by the club FC Basel 1893 members. The club FC Basel 1893 functions as a base club independent of the holding company and the AG. FC Basel 1893 AG is responsible for the operational business of the club, e.g. the 1st team, a large part of the youth department and the back office are affiliated there. All decisions that affect the club FC Basel 1893 are made within the AG.

Club management
The FC Basel 120th AGM took place in April 2014 and was held in Basel's congress center. The members of the board were all re-elected unanimously. These are president Bernhard Heusler, vice-president Adrian Knup, sport director Georg Heitz, financial manager Stephan Werthmüller and marketing manager René Kamm. The other three directors are Reto Baumgartner since 2008, Dominik Donzé since 2009 and Benno Kaiser since 1999 and they were also willing to continue and they were also elected without counter-votes.

Team management
Basel's team manager was Paulo Sousa. On 28 May 2014, Basel announced he had signed a three-year contract. His assistants were Ignacio Torreño, Víctor Sánchez and Manuel Cordeiro, all three of which were brought in by Sousa. Massimo Colomba remained the goalkeeper coach. Massimo Ceccaroni was head of the FCB Youth System, while the head coach of the Youth Team (U–21) was Thomas Häberli.

Overview

Offseason and preseason
At the end of the 2013–14 FC Basel season, four first-team players left the club to continue their careers elsewhere: Yann Sommer to Borussia Mönchengladbach; Valentin Stocker to Hertha BSC; Kay Voser to Fulham; and Admir Seferagić to Schaffhausen. Moreover, David Degen retired from football. Basel's four biggest signings for the beginning of the new season were Tomáš Vaclík from Sparta Prague; Yoichiro Kakitani from Cerezo Osaka; Derlis González from Benfica; and Shkëlzen Gashi from Grasshopper. Also new to the team were Luca Zuffi, who transferred from Thun, and Walter Samuel, who joined from Internazionale on a free transfer.

Midseason
During the winter break, two team members transferred to Bundesliga clubs: Serey Dié to VfB Stuttgart and Marcelo Díaz to Hamburger SV. Two further players were loaned out: Naser Aliji to Vaduz from 17 January until 30 June 2015, and Giovanni Sio to Bastia from 1 February until 30 June 2015. In the other direction, on 10 January, Basel announced that left-back Adama Traoré had joined from Vitória de Guimarães, signing a three-and-a-half-year contract.

The campaign

Domestic league
The club's primary objective for the team in the new season was for them to win the Swiss Super League championship for the sixth-straight year.

First half of season
. Basel's 2014–15 Swiss Super League season began well with an away victory on 19 July against Aarau. Basel won their next three matches as well, two at home against Luzern and Zürich and one away against Thun. However, this run was stopped in the fifth round after Basel lost 2–0 at home to St. Gallen, with Albert Bunjaku scoring both goals for the guests. Two further victories, away against Sion in the Stade Tourbillon and at home against Young Boys, were followed by a defeat at the Letzigrund against Grasshopper. At this point, criticism started mounting against new manager Paulo Sousa from the local press, in part due to his continual squad rotation, not only player but also position rotation for the players. Sousa himself, kept answering by referring to “a process”. A home win against Vaduz was followed by a disappointing home draw against Thun and an upsetting defeat against St. Gallen at the AFG Arena. By this time, criticism had risen to its highest, even from the local fan clubs. However, following four wins from the following five league matches, the negative voices slowly changed into a positive direction. In round 17, as league leaders, Basel played the away tie against second-placed Zürich and won 2–1; Shkëlzen Gashi scored both goals. At the end of the first half of the season, Basel, with 41 points, led the league table, eight points ahead of their nearest rivals Zürich and the Young Boys.

Second half of season
Basel started into the second half of the season with that advantage and with a victory away from home against the Grasshoppers. However, a home draw against Sion followed, then a defeat in the Stade de Suisse against the Young Boys, who moved closer in the table, and again, the criticism mounted against head coach Sousa. Repeatedly, from both press and fans, as the rotation of players and positions continued. Sousa continued to refer to “a process”. The triple load, domestic league, cup and Champions League required this rotation. The elimination from the Champions League worked another negative feeling, but victories in the quarterfinal and semi-final of the cup and six victories in the league worked positive. Amongst these were the 4–1 away big win against Luzern, goal scoreres 2x Gashi, Delgado, Callà, and the two home big wins, 6–0  against Aarau, goal scorers, 2x Gashi, 2x Delgado, 2x Streller, and 5–1 against Zürich, hattrick Embolo. With these victories FCB took a big step towards the championship title, as they then led the table with ten points.

However, the home game against FC Zurich was overshadowed by a ten-minute interruption. The moods had already been heated, following the red cards against Davide Chiumiento and Shkëlzen Gashi, then because pyrotechnic material flew close to the playing field after the Zurich goal, especially from the guest fan-sector, the referee interrupted the game and sent both teams into the changing rooms. Then, after the match there were further incidents outside the stadium.

Despite a home defeat against Luzern and an away defeat against Aarau, Basel moved clear at the top of the table. They won the championship 12 points ahead of Young Boys and 25 points above third placed Zürich. The club’s aim of the championship title had been achieved.

Domestic cup
The club's clear aim for the Basel team for the 2014–15 Swiss Cup was for them to regain the cup title. In the previous two seasons, they had ended both cup competitions as runners-up. In the first-round teams from Super League and Challenge League were seeded and could not play against each other. In a match, the home advantage was granted to the team from the lower league.

CS Italien GE ( 23 August 2014)
Basel were drawn against CS Italien GE, an amateur team who at that time played in the 2. Liga, the sixth tier of Swiss football. The match was played in Stade des Arberes in Meyrin with an attendance of 2,650 fans. As expected, the amateurs had no chance. The FCB 4–0 victory was a clear victory, however, it was not a big win, it was not a show of force, as one could have expected. But it was a seriously downplayed performance against a second division club five classes lower. CS Italien managed exactly one shot at Germano Vailati’s goal, while FCB had further chances in addition to the goals from Delgado (7th), Embolo (30th), Frei (53rd) and Gashi (93rd), some were unfortunate and some were excessively playful, but they remained unused chances.

Winterthur (21 September 2014)
In the second-round teams from Super League were seeded, the home advantage was granted to the team from the lower league, if applicable. Basel were drawn against Winterthur, who played in the second tier of Swiss football. The match was played in the Schützenwiese and referee was Stephan Studer. Head coach Paulo Sousa let the Basel team play without various of their top performers such as Marco Streller, Fabian Frei and Shkelzen Gashi for this cup tie. Others stepped in for this trio. First and foremost, the 17-year-old striker Breel Embolo, who decided the game early with his goals in the 36th and 42nd minute to lead the game 3–0 at half time. In the 67th minute, the teenager also scored the 4–0 and completed his hattrick. The first Basel goal was scored by Mohamed Elneny in the 32nd minute with a shot from 20 meters, that found its way into the goal via the inside of the post. Basel had a difficult first 30 minutes. Winterthur played out some good moves and created good chances to score, before the first Basel goal and then, especially at the beginning of the second half, when FCB reserve keeper Germano Vailati had to make a few saves. Among other things, he brilliantly fended off a free kick from Tunahan Cicek on 56 minutes. Then, at the latest after the 0–4 and the dismissal of Dennis Iapichino, for a last grasp foul in the 71st, the hosts’ resistance was broken in front of the 5,050 spectators in the sold-out stadium.

Wohlen (29 October 2014)
In the third round, matches between teams from the Super League were avoided as much as possible. Two clashes of this kind took place anyway. The team from the lower league received home rights, otherwise the team drawn first got home rights. Basel were drawn against second tier Wohlen, who were then the Swiss Challenge League leaders. The match was played in the Stadion Niedermatten in Wohlen, which has a capacity of 3,734, so the hosts’ built an additional grandstand for their fans and the attendance on the matchday was 4,100 spectators. Referee in this tie was Adrien Jaccottet. The FCB team, who competed without Shkelzen Gashi and Serey Die, among others, undoubtedly wielded the finer blade. With their first two chances at goal, FC Basel proved the difference in Wohlen. After eleven minutes, the Japanese attacker Yoichiro Kakitani converted the cross from Matias Delgado with a side-kick. Five minutes before the break, Kakitani provided an ideal pass into Giovanni Sio's path, which Sio safely netted to make it 2–1 at half time. In between, Mërgim Brahimi in the 14th minute had brought the underdogs back into the game with a foul penalty. With increasing playing time, the difference in class became more visible. The favourite let the ball circulate skilfully within their own ranks and gave FC Wohlen no further significant chances to score. The way that the FCB team  brought the victory over the rounds was masterful. Substitute Breel Embolo ended the game in the 91st minute.

Münsingen (4 March 2015)
There was no home advantage granted in the draw for the quarter-finals. SC Buochs, from the fifth tier of Swiss football, were the lowest-ranked team in this round and FC Münsingen from the third tier were also still in the competition. The other six teams were from the Super League. Basel were drawn away against Münsingen. This was a repeat of the second-round clash in the previous season, in which a record attendance of 4,100 fans were present in the Sportanlage Sandreutenen. The hosts rebuilt the additional grandstands for this clash as well and again this time the attendance was over 4,000 fans. The Basel team were able to ensure clear conditions early on in the game, by the interval they were already leading 5–0. The amateur team from Münsingen were overwhelmed from the beginning. Time after time their defence was overrun by the FCB attackers. The Japanese attacker Yoichiro Kakitani shone out above the others with his hattrick. The outsider, who had eliminated Wil in the previous round, had nothing against this dominance. The 0–1 in the seventh minute would not have been necessary from the hosts' point of view, because it was made possible by a gift from goalie Lars Müller. The goalkeeper had rushed out of his goal, but he failed to block the ball against Ahmed Hamoudi, and so the Egyptian was able to calmly slide the leather into the empty goal. Basel never gave up the game dictation, although they played without various top performers. Regular goalkeeper Tomas Vaclik, Taulant Xhaka and Derlis Gonzalez remained on the bench. Marco Streller, Shkelzen Gashi and Fabian Schär did not even figure in the squad. Münsingen were able to score a consolation goal in the closing stages to make it 1–6.  Following a cross from Daniel Preradovic, Christian Plüss poked the ball over the line in the middle. Both players had been substituted in.

St. Gallen (8 April 2015)
In the semi-final St. Gallen were drawn at home in the AFG Arena against Basel. Goal getter Shkelzen Gashi put Basel in the front after a quarter of an hour, the pass came from Breel Embolo, who had out danced three opponents following an error by Daniele Russo. At halftime it was 0–2. Mario Mutsch, who was put under pressure from Gashi, unluckily deflected a corner kick from Matias Delgado into his own goal. On 60 minutes Embolo served Gashi with a splendid 30-meter pass. Centre back Russo hesitated, not only this time, and the goal getter slotted home with a hard, low shot into the far corner. After an hour the game was decided in this one-sided football festival in front of 16,690 spectators. Džengis Čavušević was granted the consolation goal in the 87th minute for the never giving up and always combative St. Gallen team. With FC Basel, the technical, tactical and more fluent team made it into the final in their own stadium. Alongside double goal scorer Gashi, Breel Embolo stood out from the well-rehearsed and ball-safe FCB ensemble. Embolo skilfully retreated when St. Gallen had ball possession, in order to rush forwards at high speed from the second row on counter-attacks He prepared two hits and with his dribbling was a constant source of danger for the St. Gallen defence. A downer for the 18-year-old Swiss Neo-International was the yellow card that he was shown by referee Stephan Klossner after 18 minutes. Since it was his second warning in the cup competition, the attacking talent was suspended for the final.

Sion (7 June 2015)
The Final was played on 7 June 2015 against Sion and with an attendance of 35,674 fans the St. Jakob-Park was sold out. Referee was Nikolaj Hänni. An ex-Basler was the match winner for Sion. The Portuguese technical genius Carlitos played the two deadly passes into the depth, which led to the 1–0 by goal getter Moussa Konaté on 18 minutes and the 2–0 by Edimilson Fernandes on 50 minutes. Carlitos himself scored the goal for the 3–0 final result after an hours play. He scored after a cross from Elsad Zverotić with a diving header.

Conclusion
The FC Sion cup myth is alive more than ever after this final, because they celebrated their 13th victory in their 13th final of this knockout competition. Sion didn’t give their opponents a chance, even playing in their own stadium. The 13th Cup triumph will forever have a special place in the club’s history. The Red-Whites have never been able to win a cup final so clearly and the fact that this was achieved with the strongest Super League club over the previous years was astonishing and impressive at the same time.

As from the FCB point of view, the club's cup aim to reach the final was achieved. However, the defeat in this height was an embarrassment. It was also a big disappointment because this was the third cup final in succession that the team had reached and had ended defeated.

Champions League
Basel entered into the Champions League in the group stage. Their initial aim is to remain in the competition and reach the Champions League knockout phase. Third position in the group would entitle them to a slot in the Europa League knockout phase and this was their minimum aim. The draw was held on 28 August 2014 at the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco. Basel were seeded into pot 2 and were drawn into Group B together with Real Madrid, the title holders and top seeded in pot 1, Liverpool from pot 3, who had qualified as runners-up in the 2013–14 Premier League, and Ludogorets Razgrad, who as Bulgarian football league champions had qualified to pot 4 by beating FC Steaua București in the play-off round.

Real Madrid (16 September 2014)
Basels first game was on 16 September, an away tie against Real in the stadium Santiago Bernabéu with an attendance of 65,364 fans. This first tie turned out very bad for Basel. The home team dominated ball possession from the very beginning, but the first two efforts from Luka Modrić and Cristiano Ronaldo both flew over the crossbar. As it seemed that Basel had over stood the start furioso, full-back Nacho’s cross was deflected by Marek Suchý into his own goal after just 14 minutes. Basel almost drew level 2 minutes later, but Marco Streller sent Taulant Xhaka's cross into the side netting. Basel’s goalkeeper Tomáš Vaclík was beaten again on 30 minutes, Modrić's pass over the defence fell into the path of Gareth Bale, who lifted the ball over the outrushing keeper and tapped it into an empty goal. This started Real’s best period, another minute later Ronaldo doubled up, as Modrić and Bale set him up. On 37 minutes Karim Benzema's effort was deflected, but Vaclík was able to claw it away, however, James Rodríguez pushed the ball home. Exactly one minute later Luca Zuffi played a neat through ball to Derlis Gonzalez, who raced in to fire the ball low across Iker Casillas into the far corner. After the break the game cooled down. Basel had a good chance as Gonzalez received a ball that had come over the defenders, but Casillas showed a stunning reaction. Minutes later Basel centre-back Fabian Schär hit a long-range shot that beat the Real goalie but bounced off the post. On 79 minutes Benzema netted the last and Basel lost 1–5. Despite the fact that Basel had 48% ball possession, they were never really in the game. A rampant Real Madrid had eased Basel aside toward the end of the first period.

Liverpool (1 October 2014)
On matchday 2, Basel had a home game at the St. Jakob-Park with a sold-out attendance of 36,000 fans against Liverpool. The hosts could have been forgiven their cautious approach into this game, following their heavy defeat against Real in the Spanish capital two weeks earlier. Head coach Paulo Sousa made a bold decision to give 17-year-old forward Breel Embolo his maiden Champions League start. Basel started well into the game. In the early stages Mohamed Elneny snapped at Steven Gerrard‘s heels and won ball possession. But the Liverpool captain made amends for losing the ball, because as it came to Basel captain Marco Streller, Gerrard blocked Streller’s promising shot. Goalkeeper Simon Mignolet stood exactly right as an Elneny’s effort bent inward and goalward and soon afterwards Ahmed Hamoudi hammered his shot just beyond the far post, just as Basel produced the more threatening chances before the half time break. The most dangerous of these chances came on 35 minutes as Geoffroy Serey Die received Marco Streller’s return one/two pass and out dribbled two challenges, but his angled shot was kicked away by Mignolet. Marco Streller scored the decisive goal seven minutes after the break. He was spot on after a corner kick and a save from Liverpool goalkeeper Mignolet. In its creation, the goal was lucky because Mignolet had been checked by his own defender and thus enabled Streller to shoot. But it was anything other than a "lucky punch" if one looks at the entire game. FCB were the better team, they had clear advantages in the midfield area, they won a majority of the one against one duels and, at least until the 1–0, they also had more than the better share of the game. After the goal, Basel only had to worry two or three times about their victory. The closest to the equaliser was Mario Balotelli. Just after the hour, the Italian striker forced Basel goalkeeper Tomas Vaclik with a powerful free kick from about 25 meters to an unorthodox parade with his chest. A little later, Raheem Sterling and Lazar Marković also had opportunities. But Basel wouldn't let them take the victory from themselves anymore. A victory for the prestige.

Ludogorets Razgrad (22 October 2014)
Matchday 3 was a tie against Ludogorets Razgrad, who played their home matches at Vasil Levski National Stadium in Sofia instead of their regular stadium, Ludogorets Arena in Razgrad. Basel started well into the match, had more possession and made good moves and Breel Embolo had the first chance. Ludogorets first chance came on 17 minutes as a long free kick was headed towards goal, Tomáš Vaclík parried well. One minute later a knockback for the visitors, as Serey Die took on a ball from Fabian Frei in the middle of the opponents’ half he collided with Cosmin Moți. Referee Deniz Aytekin of the German Football Association showed Serey Die a very harsh direct red card. The numerical disadvantage was not obvious immediately, after a nice one/two with Davide Calla, Derlis Gonzalez almost put Basel a goal up, big save from goalie Vladislav Stoyanov. Ludogorets slowly gained the upper hand as time went by, they forced Basel back, but the FCB defence did their work, because, Ludogorets only created one single chance before the interval. In the second period the home team had more possession and created a number of chances, especially from set pieces, but goalie Vaclík was equal to them all. Going into added time Yordan Minev advanced on the left, failing an open man the full back had a shot at goal and the ball deflected slightly off Taulant Xhaka’s back and caught Vaclík wrongfooted. Ludogorets late show downed ten-man Basel and won the game 1–0. At the end of the day, because Liverpool lost at home against Real, three teams were then equal on three points, Basel, Liverpool and Ludogorets Razgrad.

Ludogorets Razgrad (4 November 2014)
With 35,272 spectators the St. Jakob-Park was not quite sold-out for the return match against Ludogorets Razgrad. Basel started well into the game on this rainy evening and after just 90 seconds they had their first chance to score through Derlis Gonzalez. However, thereafter it took a long time for FCB to come up with further clear opportunities. Although they  had significantly more all possession in the first half hour, over the last 30 meters there was either a lack of precision on the final pass or assertiveness. The spell broke on 34 minutes, captain Fabian Frei found the precision, with a good pass to Breel Embolo, who won the duel with Georgi Terziev and cold bloodedly put the hosts in front. The 17-year-old Cameroonian had lost a lot of balls in the start phase and had problems with the tightly knit Bulgarian defensive. Seven minutes after Embolo's opening goal, Derlis Gonzalez increased in a similar way to 2–0 and thus ensured an early decision. Fabian Frei had prepared the second goal as well, he served his team-mate with a wonderful steep pass into the depth. After the break Basel dominated territory and ball. Shkelzen Gashi increased to 3–0 from short range on 59 minutes, following a neat pass from Embolo. Another six minutes later Marek Suchy prodded home a corner from Luca Zuffi for the final result. The Swiss champions won the home game against the Bulgarian champions deservedly with 4–0 and moved up to second place in the group table.

Real Madrid (26 November 2014)
The return game against Real Madrid was three weeks after the Ludogorets game. On matchday 5 in the St. Jakob-Park was sold out with 36,000 spectators. And the fans created a gripping atmosphere with their noise, singing and passion and it was as so the home fans knew that their team required extra help to keep Madrid's star constellation from shining. Basel started well and fast into the game. The first chance fell on 12 minutes for Breel Embolo but the ball went wide. The second came for Marco Streller on 23 minutes, but he miscued. On 35 minutes Karim Benzema, who had not been seen before, entered the box with speed from the left, diagonally to the by-line outplaying Fabian Schär and passed with precision backwards to Cristiano Ronaldo, who hit the ball into the net. Basel never gave up. Until the end, the Basel team showed that they wanted more than an honourable defeat. They searched for the equaliser and that would have been an exploit against Real. Especially during the last half an hour, the FCB came up with scoring chances, the closest from Embolo. The teenager failed in the 67th minute from a tight angle on goalie Keylor Navas. Then, seconds from the end, it was substitute Ahmed Hamoudi who curled the ball inwards, but just wide of the goal. This meant Real made it five wins out of five. In the other group match Ludogorets and Liverpool drew 2–2 and Basel remained in second position in the table.

Liverpool (9 December 2014)
Matchday 6 was the match Liverpool against Basel and even before the match, the requirements were clear. Madrid were through to the next round with 15 points in the group table, Basel were second in the group with 6 points, Liverpool and Ludogorets were level on 4 points, Liverpool had the advantage of the direct meetings. So the motto was "the winner takes it all". Liverpool required all three points to reach the round of 16 for the first time since 2008/09. Basel only needed the draw to secure their first knockout-stage appearance since season 2011/12, so long as Ludogorets didn’t win their match in Madrid.

Anfield had an attendance of 43,290 spectators on this cloudy and windy evening and both teams were roared on by their noisy fans, some 3,000 FCB fans had travelled in from Basel. FCB had the first chance after just 3 minutes, but Shkëlzen Gashi shot wide. Basel had expected its opponents to come forward with power, looking for chances, shooting at goal in the first 15/20 minutes. But, with the exception of an early effort by Steven Gerrard, precious little came of this initial furiousness. It wasn't necessarily just because of Liverpool's recurring problem of having to be creative, Basel head coach Paulo Sousa obviously had the right match plan in place. In the initial phase, Basel largely blocked the pass routes towards Gerrard, therefore, the playmaker had practically no influence. The Liverpool team seemed to lose their patience and they looked insecure. Raheem Sterling decided to pass back instead of trying himself after 20 minutes. The home fans reacted indignantly to this for the first time. Basel tempted Liverpool, with aggressive pressing in various situations, the home team rowed up a number of bad passes. One minute later a cross from Mohamed Elneny dropped for Marco Streller, but his shot was blocked. Liverpool's passing lacked fluency and the visitors were sharper and created the greater threat. On 25 minutes Basel's first shot on target shocked opponents and the majority of the spectators. Fabian Frei played a pass on to Luca Zuffi, he tied up Frei moving left and he shot left footed into the far bottom corner. The home fans reacted indignantly to this as well. Up until half time Basel created more good chances. The very strong Luca Zuffi was often the origin of these moves, after 30 minutes he set up Derlis Gonzalez and after 39 minutes he set up Fabian Schär after a rebound. Taulant Xhaka’s cross to Streller at the far post and his side kick volley came very close. Basel dominated the first half and thoroughly deserved to be in the lead.

After the brake Liverpool picked up, played more resolutely forwards created two chances but these efforts lacked precision. On 59 minutes Xhaka ran diagonally from the right sideline toward the centre and struck a shot with left, goalie Simon Mignolet was beaten, but the ball rolled inches wide. Then on 60 minutes Lazar Marković, trying to get away, struck Behrang Safari in the face. Referee Björn Kuipers of the Royal Dutch Football Association had no choice and dismissed him with red. Out of the game, the nine Liverpool outfield players achieved very little. A shot by Martin Skrtel on 68 minutes, an intervention timed to the millisecond by goalie Tomas Vaclik against Gerrard on 71 minutes. The culmination of a hectic final phase came in the 81st minute as a standard. Significantly it was captain Gerrard with a wonderful free kick to the top left corner and via the post into the net for the equaliser. Then followed a very tense finishing period, during which both teams had two/three further chances for the winning goal. Zuffi’s shot rought a big save from Mignolet (83), Jordan Henderson saw Vaclík stop his deflected header on the goal-line (85), Safari’s cross was missed only by inches by Gashi in front of the open goal (90+2) and at the other end as Vaclík pushed aside another Henderson effort in the 93rd minute, Basel's job was done. It was Steven Gerrard’s 100th time in his career that he had scored in his own stadium and this one earnt his team the 1–1 end result and the draw.

Conclusion
Liverpool’s point advanced them to the Europa League knockout phase. Here they were defeated by Beşiktaş, level on aggregate, in the penalty shoot-out. Basel advanced to the Champions League knockout phase.

From the Basel point of view this was a very successful group stage, their aim had been achieved.

Champions League knockout phase
Basel's initial Champions League aim, to remain in the competition and reach the knockout phase was achieved herewith. With the draw to the round of 16 there were indeed hopes that they could reach the next round and the next aim was communicated as reaching the quarterfinals. The draw was held on 15 December 2014 at UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland. In the draw the eight group winners were seeded and the eight group runners-up were unseeded.

Porto (18 February 2015)
Basel were drawn with the first game at home in the St. Jakob-Park to Porto. It was great atmosphere in the stadium even before the teams emerged from the tunnel. There was a decent-sized pocket of Porto fans, but they did well to make themselves heard. The attendance was a total of 34,464 spectators. Basel started the game well and in the eleventh minute Fabian Frei floated a long ball over the top of the defence and Derlis Gonzalez controlled the ball well, his finish was clever with the outside of his right boot and it's ramped up the noise even further. It was Gonzalez's third Champions League goal of the season. Porto responded and took control of the match, suddenly the game had greater fluidity. Porto had up to 60% ball possession, they created chances, but Basel held on well. Eventually Portos efforts paid off as they were awarded a penalty in the 79' minute, Danilo scored from the spot. It was a precise penalty into the bottom corner to Tomáš Vaclík's right and Porto got the away goal that they so badly wanted. A total of nine yellow cards were given during the match. At the end both teams seemed content to go into the return fixture at 1–1. The furious, physical nature of the game had evaporated somewhat as the game approached the final whistle.

Porto (10 March 2015)
Before this second leg, all talk was about how Porto would cope without Jackson Martínez, after their forward and captain was ruled out for "several weeks" with a groin problem. But the second leg in Estádio do Dragão started badly for Basel. Yacine Brahimi superbly executed a free kick in the 14th minute to put Porto one up. Any hopes that Basel had were vanquished soon after half-time as Héctor Herrera made it 2–0, bending in a shot from the edge of the penalty area. Casemiro scored with a wonderful free-kick just a few minutes later. Finally, it was Vincent Aboubakar's fine shot, after he turned around Walter Samuel, before rifling in from over 20 Meters with some 14 minutes left that gave the 4–0 end result. Samuel, who conceded the set piece for the opening goal, ended the evening with another low because he was sent off. The second leg was fairer than the physically aggressive first leg, a total of four yellow cards and one red were shown during the return match.

Conclusion
Porto advanced to the quarter-finals and were matched against Bayern Munich. Winning the first leg 3–1, the were defeated in the second leg 6–1 and, therefore lost 7–4 on aggregate. Bayern advanced to the sem.i-finals, but were beaten by Barcelona who then won the trophy.

Basel's Champions League journey ended here, but the Champion League campaign can be described as being a very successful adventure and they had achieved the club's aims.

title: Campa Cola Compound Case

text:
Campa Cola Compound Case is based on the judicial process, and the controversy over the Campa Cola Compound, an apartment complex in the southern part of Worli in South Mumbai, India.

History

The residents claim that they  bought the apartments with the understanding that they would get the Occupancy Certificates ("OC") in due course. The Supreme Court has held that the residents had purchased the flats knowing that they were unauthorized. Since 2005, the residents have been in litigation with B.M.C., trying to prevent the B.M.C from razing the building. The society rose to national attention because of a court judgment that deemed construction beyond five floors illegal, and called for razing it down. The society is occupied by around 230 families who have been residing there for over 25 years. It has seven buildings namely Midtown Apartments, Orchid Tower, Patel Apartments 7A & 7B, Esha Ekta Apartments, BY Apartments & Shubh Apartments.
The Supreme Court on 30 May 2014 declined to stay the eviction of the residents. As per an earlier Supreme Court order, the residents of Campa Cola society will have to vacate their apartments by 31 May 2014.

On 20 June 2014, BMC arrived at Campa Cola Compound to cut the essential services like water, electricity and gas.

On 22 June 2014, The residents after meeting with Chief Minister Chavan agreed to allow the BMC officials to cut the essential supplies and co-operate with officials to pave way for their resettlement.

Support from the public and political parties
Over the last two years, the Campa Cola Compound Litigation has received mixed support from the public, political parties, as well as certain celebrities. Lata Mangeshkar and Raj Thackeray have extended their support to the inhabitants.

title: The Russian Rocket Reaction

text:
"The Russian Rocket Reaction" is the fifth episode of the fifth season of The Big Bang Theory and the 92nd episode overall. It first aired on CBS on October 13, 2011.

The episode features guest appearances by recurring character Wil Wheaton and Star Trek: The Next Generation actor Brent Spiner. In the subplot, Wil Wheaton invites Leonard (Johnny Galecki) and Sheldon (Jim Parsons) to a party that Brent Spiner attends. The main plot focuses on Howard (Simon Helberg) finding out he is going to the International Space Station.

Plot

NASA selects a deep field space telescope designed by Howard's team to go on the International Space Station (ISS). Howard is told he is going to the ISS with the telescope as a payload specialist. As NASA no longer has a Shuttle, Howard will go on the Russian Soyuz and jokes about its safety by referencing the Chernobyl disaster. Bernadette (Melissa Rauch) is upset that Howard accepted the astronaut job without consulting her. Her father was a member of the police and as a child, she was always worried about him dying on the job. She tells Howard's mother, who forbids him from going to space. Later, when talking to Penny (Kaley Cuoco) and Amy (Mayim Bialik), Bernadette realizes she made a mistake. She apologizes to Howard, although his mother still refuses to let him go into space.

As Sheldon and Leonard start a sword collection with a replica of a sword from Game of Thrones, Wil Wheaton arrives at the comic book store and invites them to a party; while Leonard wants to go, Sheldon still considers Wheaton a mortal enemy. Sheldon says that Leonard is both his friend and not his friend, until he either goes or does not go to the party: he calls this "Schrödinger's friendship", in a reference to Schrödinger's cat. Upset, he compares Leonard's "betrayal" to turning R2-D2 and C-3PO over to the Empire. Leonard is about to leave for Wheaton's party but gets a text that Brent Spiner will be at the party. He tells Sheldon, who pretends not to care but later attends, aiming to fix their friendship and meet Spiner. Wheaton gives Sheldon a signed Wesley Crusher action figure, remorseful for not attending the convention Sheldon waited to meet him at during his childhood. Sheldon excitedly forgives Wheaton but Spiner opens up the figure's packaging, horrifying Sheldon. Though Spiner offers to sign a Data doll, Sheldon declares him his "mortal enemy".

Reviews

Oliver Sava of The A.V. Club gave the episode a rating of A−, describing it as "steeped in nerd culture". Sava said "Melissa Rauch and Simon Helberg have great chemistry" when talking about the main plot and enjoyed the subplot as well.

The episode was rated 53 out of 100 by "the TV Critic". The episode was said to be likeable "on paper" but that "in execution", it was an "odd story". The opening scene was described as "a weird one", given Sheldon developing his social skills and Leonard's politeness. The critic also said "I was sad to see the evil Will  Wheaton character dispensed with" and summarized that "the actual script let everyone down".

Jenna Busch of IGN rated the episode 8.5 out of 10. Busch described the parallel of spats between Howard/Bernadette and Leonard/Sheldon as "a bit of a contrived plot", but said that "the Shrodinger's cat storyline was hysterical". Busch's only issues "were the lack of AFF [Amy Farrah Fowler] and Raj".

Carla Day from TV Fanatic rated the episode 4.5 out of 5. Day enjoyed when "Howard showed his maturity" and had mixed reactions to Sheldon and Wil's rivalry ending, saying that it was "comedic gold" and hoping that "we'll see more of Wil Wheaton". Wheaton has since appeared in several The Big Bang Theory episodes.

title: Tenkai Knights: Brave Battle

text:
is a fighting game developed by Delta Arts and published by Bandai Namco Games, based on the anime series Tenkai Knights. It was released for the Nintendo 3DS on September 25, 2014 in Japan and on October 7, 2014 in North America.

Story
The game involves the group: Guren, Ceylan, Toxsa and Chooki. The group accidentally falls through an inter-dimensional portal. When they find themselves on the other side of the portal, the group appears in another world and have assumed the mantles of Bravenwolf, Tributon, Valorn and Lydendor — otherwise known as the legendary Tenkai Knights. They fight evil to protect both dimensions.

Gameplay
In Tenkai Knights: Brave Battle, the player builds and customizes robots and then engages in combat with other robots. The game draws inspiration from the Tenkai Knights animated series.

Reception

Hardcore Gamer gave the game a 1/5, saying "The level of pure apathy on display must be seen to be believed, with practically everything boiling down to slight variations on the first level. Combat is frustrating, stages are painfully confining and difficulty ramps up too quickly. "

title: Dawn of America

text:
Dawn of America (Spanish: Alba de América) is a 1951 Spanish historical adventure film directed by Juan de Orduña and starring Antonio Vilar, María Martín and José Suárez. The film depicts the discovery of the Americas by Christopher Columbus in the late fifteenth century.

Production
The film was made by the largest Spanish studio CIFESA. The production was conceived as a response to the 1949 British film Christopher Columbus. The British film had attempted a realist depiction of Columbus (portraying him as only partly successful, and his achievements being in spite of the Spanish monarchy). The Spanish response portrayed Columbus as a single-minded adventurer whose discovery led to the greater glory of the Spanish monarchy and the Catholic Church.

It was also designed as part of the celebrations for the 500th anniversary of the Catholic Monarchs. The film's patriotic theme was strongly backed by the Spanish State of Francisco Franco. The film was made on a comparatively large budget of ten million pesetas, part of which was supplied by the government. The film did not make a profit, partly due to its large budget and because the plot was not melodramatic enough for audience tastes. The film originally lost out on the prestigious National Interest prize to Furrows but José María García Escudero, who had made the decision, was removed and the prize was awarded to Dawn of America.

Plot
The film narrates the adventures of Christopher Columbus (Antonio Vilar) from his stay in the Convent of La Rábida to his meeting with the Catholic Monarchs and his feat in crossing the Atlantic and reaching the shores of America, ushering in a new era in the history of mankind.

title: Golden Bough (band)

text:
Golden Bough is a Celtic-music band formed in 1980 and based in California. The band performs at music festivals and has toured Europe several times. They are known for their acoustic musical performances of folk music and Celtic music and for their 22 albums. They are also known for their association with Lief Sørbye (a founding member) and with the band Tempest.

Current members of the band include Margie Butler (lyric soprano) on vocals, Celtic harp, penny whistle, recorder, bodhran and guitar; Paul Espinoza (folk tenor) on vocals, guitar, accordion and octave-mandolin; Kathy Sierra (folk soprano) on vocals, violin and viola.

Band origins
The band came about after some friends attended a series of concerts at the Cannery at Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco. The founders were Margie Butler, Margot Duxler, Lief Sørbye, and Paul Espinoza. Simon Spaulding also performed with them in the first lineup. Other artists who have been members include Florie Brown (violinist), Richard Ferry (flutist), Alison Bailey (fiddler), and Sue Draheim (violinist).

Music
The band describes their music as "rooted in" the traditional music of Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Cornwall, The Isle of Man, French Brittany and Spanish Galicia. The group creates its own arrangements of the songs, giving them "a sound unique unto themselves." Along with traditional works they have mined such singers as Eric Bogle (Green Fields of France), Archie Fisher (Witch of the Westmorelands) and Jamie McMenemy's setting of The Blind Harper of Lochmaben. They also perform their own original compositions.

Some examples of songs they sing include: Red is the Rose, The Sea Queen of Connemara, The Wizard, Shifty Morgan, The Tailor and the Mouse, Black is the Color of My True Love's Hair, The Rattlin' Bog, Green Grow the Rashes-O, Charlie is my Darling, My Little Boat, Black Jack Davy, The Song of the Swan Maiden, Muirsheen Durkin, Isle of Hope, Isle of Tears by Brendan Graham, and perhaps even the Turlough O'Carolan tune, Carolan's Draught.

Song details
 Black Jack Davy is a takeoff of the traditional song Black Jack Davy. It was written by Paul Espinoza and released on the Golden Bough album, The Boatman's Daughter in 1983. In the traditional song, a man pursues his wife or lover, who has run off with the Gypsy man, Black Jack Davy. In Espinoza's version, Black Jack Davy is the pursuing lover, still looking for his lady after three years. He is presented as a ghost who cannot give up his search.

title: Slovakian Dance

text:
Slovakian Dance is a piece for solo piano by Hungarian composer Béla Bartók. It was presumably composed in 1923, but it was not published until 1999.

Composition

This scherzo-style composition was meant to be placed between the second and the third movement of Bartók's Dance Suite, but he eventually refused because of his mathematical principles, as placing it in the Suite would ruin the proportion of the whole work. Since Dance Suite was an orchestral suite, this Slovakian Dance remained as a sketch, unpublished and unorchestrated, until his son, Peter Bartók, made slight changes for it to be published in 1999 by Universal Edition. As this is one of the sketches that he dismissed, there is no identification number for this composition, and most catalogues do not include it.

Structure

Slovakian Dance is scored for a solo piano and takes around 2 minutes to perform. It has a total of 92 bars and three different sections.

The first section is the ritornell that was used in movements 1, 2, and 4 of Bartok's Dance Suite, marked Tranquillo in the score. It acts as a short introduction, as well as a placing element within its original piece, as the Dance was meant to be played after a ritornello. This section has 17 bars and is separated by a double bar. The second section, the Slovakian Dance itself, is marked Allegretto in the score and generally gravitates towards F major, even though the key signature makes no specifications. This lively,  dance, ends in bar 81, when the ritornell is reprised for the last few bars, marked Lento in the score.

Life
At the age of seventeen, he entered the Prussian Academy of Arts, where he studied under  Fritz Schaper, Albert Wolff and Paul Thumann. In 1880, he started his own studio in Vienna, but returned to work with Schaper in 1883. The following year, he joined the German Artists' Association and received a stipendium to study in Rome for his work "Bacchant mit Panthern". He finally became self-sufficient in 1886 and began teaching at the Academy, where he remained until 1924. In addition to sculpture, he taught workshops on carpentry, blacksmithing, locksmithing and pottery. In 1892, he succeeded Wolff as head of the modelling class and was named a full member of the Academy in 1897.

One of his most prominent patrons was the entrepreneur and telecommunications pioneer, Robert Stock. The figure of a blacksmith that Janensch made for display at the  in 1897 later became Stock's tomb sculpture.
