title: 2014 Abkhazian presidential election

text:
Presidential elections were held in the Republic of Abkhazia on 24 August 2014. The sixth such elections since the post of President of Abkhazia was created in 1994, they were held early due to the resignation of President Alexander Ankvab on 1 June 2014 following the 2014 Abkhazian political crisis. Four candidates contested the elections, which were won by Raul Khadjimba, who received just over 50% of the vote.

Background

On 27 May, opposition protesters stormed the Presidential administration, prompting Ankvab to flee to Gudauta. The resulting crisis culminated in his resignation on 1 June. As Vice President Mikhail Logua had already resigned in December 2013 due to ill health, Speaker of the People's Assembly of Abkhazia Valeri Bganba has become acting president.

On 3 June 2014, chairman of the Central Election Committee Batal Tabagua announced that the committee had begun preparations for the Presidential election and that the date had been set for 24 August.

Candidates
Candidates could be nominated between 25 June and 14 July. Parties registered less than five months before the election date were not eligible to nominate candidates. On 14 July, the Central Election Commission announced that all candidates except Beslan Eshba had passed the Abkhaz language fluency test. On 15 July, the Central Election Commission officially registered Khajimba, Kishmaria, Bazhania and Dzapshba as candidates. Of these, the first three received their registration certificates that same day, and Dzapshba on 16 July.

Mirab Kishmaria
Kishmaria's campaign manager was former MP Ilia Gamisonia.

Kishmaria campaigned on 23 July in the villages of Sanarda, Agubedia and Pervaya Bedia (Tkvarcheli District), on 24 July in Lykhny and Duripsh (Gudauta District), on 25 July in Tsandrypsh and Makhadyr (Gagra District), on 29 July again in Lykhny, on 7 August among diaspora voters in Moscow, on 14 August with voters in Cherkessk, on 15 August in Primorskoe, Abgarkhuk and Achandara (Gudauta District), on 18 August in Sukhumi's New District and on 21 August in Tkvarcheli.

Leonid Dzapshba
Dzapshba's campaign manager was former chairman of the State Committee for Youth Affairs and Sports Rafael Ampar. His candidate for the post of prime minister was former Foreign Affairs Minister Maxim Gvinjia.

Dzapshba campaigned on 11 August in the villages of Babushara (Gulripshi District) and Kutol and Jgyarda (Ochamchire District),

Raul Khajimba
Khajimba's campaign manager was MP Artur Mikvabia. His candidate for the post of prime minister was Beslan Butba, who had been appointed acting Vice Premier following President Ankvab's resignation.

Khajimba campaigned on 19 July in Ochamchire and Shaumyanovka (Gulripshi District), on 22 July in the villages of Alakhadzy, Kolkhida and Bzypta (Gagra District), on 23 July in Uarcha and Pshap (Gulripshi District), on 30 July in Kutol (Ochamchire District), on 11 August in Chlou and Tkhina (Ochamchire District), on 12 August in Salme, Mekhadyr and Bagrypsh (Gagra District), on 14 August in Myrkul (Ochamchire District), on 21 August in Achandara and Duripsh (Gudauta District) and Lower Eshera (Sukhumi District) and on 22 August in Lykhny (Gudauta District).

Aslan Bzhania
On 16 July and for the duration of the election, Bzhania's tasks as head of the State Security Service were transferred to First Deputy Head Zurab Margania.

Bzhania's campaign manager was Leonid Lakerbaia, who resigned as prime minister along with Alexander Ankvab, and his deputy campaign managers Mikhail Logua, vice president under Ankvab until December 2013, and Agriculture Minister Beslan Jopua. Bzhania's candidate for the post of prime minister was State Customs Committee Head Said Tarkil.

Bzhania campaigned on 20 July in Tkvarcheli and the villages of Bedia and Agubedia (Tkvarcheli District), on 21 July in Agudzera and Markhiaul (Gulripshi District), on 23 July in Sukhumi's New District, on 24 July in the villages of Gumista and Iastkhua (Sukhumi District), on 28 July again in Sukhumi, on 29 July again in Gulripshi District, on 1 August among diaspora voters in Moscow, on 7 August in Ochamchire, on 14 August in Sukhumi's Sinop District, on 16 August in Gagra, on 17 August with Russian-speaking voters, on 19 August in Pitsunda, on 20 August in Gudauta, and on 21 August in Sukhumi's Kinoprokat District.

Campaign
On 24 July, a prayer service was held in Sukhumi Cathedral in which all four candidates participated. On 25 July all four candidates signed an election covenant promising to conduct fair election campaigns.

Participation of Georgian voters
One of the key complaints of the opposition during the 2014 Abkhazian political crisis was that thousands of Georgian residents of the Gali, Tkvarcheli and Ochamchira Districts had received Abkhazian passports in violation of citizenship law. Accordingly, on 1 July, 22787 Georgians were stricken from the voters list.

Re-opening of railway-connection with Armenia through Georgia
On 7 July, four Armenian former and current members of the People's Assembly launched an appeal that Abkhazia should actively push for the restoration of the Russian-Armenian railway link through Abkhazia, as it would strengthen both Abkhazia's economy and sovereignty. The proposal received sharp criticism in Parliament, in part due to the use in the appeal of the phrase 'the Abkhazian-Georgian section of the railway'. On 16 July, Aslan Bzhania expressed his support for the proposal.

Incidents
Around 4:05 in the morning of 20 August, a grenade was thrown into courtyard of CEC head Batal Tabagua. No one was injured, Tabagua's and neighbouring houses were damaged.

On 22 August, at about 18:00, the parked car of Nuzhnaya journalist Isida Chania was shot at from a white Lexus SUV. At the crime scene, 29 empty cartridges and 2 bullets were found.

Conduct
As in previous elections, there will be polling stations outside Abkhazia, in Moscow and Cherkessk. For the first time, there will also be a polling station in Istanbul. All three polling stations are assigned to District no. 5 in Sukhumi, where the Ministry for Foreign Affairs is located.

Opinion polls

Results
According to the official results released by the Central Election Commission on 26 August, Raul Khajimba was elected in the first round.

title: Iris danfordiae

text:
Iris danfordiae, the dwarf iris or Danford iris, is a bulbous perennial plant in the genus Iris, it is classified in the subgenus Hermodactyloides and section Reticulatae. It is from Turkey in Asia. It has 2 gray-green or bluish green, thick leaves, short slender stem holding a scented flower, in shades of yellow. They are spotted olive-green or green and have a deep yellow or orange crest.

Description
Iris danfordiae has a narrowly ovoid, bulb,
with whitish netted coats.

It has 2 leaves (per bulb),  tall. They are linear, four-angled in cross section, and gray-green, or bluish green.
The leaves sometimes appear together with the flowers, and sometimes after the flowers.

It has a slender stem, that can grow up to between  tall. They hold 1 flower each.

It is one of the first reticulata irises to bloom, even blooming through the snow. In early spring, between January, and March.

It has fragrant (scented of honey,) flowers, in shades of yellow. From bright yellow, deep yellow, to orange. The flowers are  in diameter.

Like other irises, it has 2 pairs of petals, 3 large sepals (outer petals), known as the 'falls' and 3 inner, smaller petals (or tepals), known as the 'standards'. The falls are spathulate (spoon shaped), and spotted olive-green, or green. In the centre of the falls is a deep yellow or orange crest. The standards are vert short, in some cases just bristles.

Later after flowering, it produces a seed capsule.

Genetics
As most irises are diploid, having two sets of chromosomes, this can be used to identify hybrids and classification of groupings. It was counted in 1959 by Randolph & Mitra as 2n=27, then in 1997 by Johnson & Brandham as 2n=18 and 27.

Taxonomy

It is pronounced as (Iris) EYE-ris (aphylla) dan-FORD-ee-ay (danfordiae).
It is commonly known as dwarf iris, buttercup Iris, or Danford's iris.

This species was introduced from Cilicia, Turkey in 1876, by Mrs C. G. Danford (an English plant hunter of the Asia minor regions).

It was first published and described as Xiphion danfordiae Baker and described by John Gilbert Baker in J. Bot. Vol.14 n page 265 in 1876. It was then reclassified and published as Iris danfordiae by Pierre Edmond Boissier in 'Fl. Orient.' Vol.5 on page 124 in July 1882.

Iris danfordiae is an accepted name by the RHS, and it was verified by United States Department of Agriculture and the Agricultural Research Service on 23 January 1989, then updated on 2 December 2004.

Distribution and habitat
It is native to temperate Asia, mainly Asia Minor.

Range
It grows in the Taurus Mountains of southern Turkey.

Habitat
It grows on exposed dry rocky and sunny slopes, at the edges of coniferous forests or woods, close to the snowline. It is normally found at an altitude of  above sea level.

Cultivation

It is cold hardy, to between USDA Zones 5 - 9.
It is sometimes deemed less reliably perennial than other bulbs.

It prefers to grow in neutral to alkaline soils, which are high in potassium and phosphate. It prefers sandy and well drained soils both in summer and winter. It prefers positions in full sun.

It is suitable for a rock or gravel garden or front of border.

During mild season the bulb and plant is susceptible to slug damage.

Propagation
It can be propagated by division or by seed growing. Seeds are best grown by collecting dry, mature seed capsules, and sowing the seeds.

Division, is carried out by lifting the main bulb and splitting into many bulblets, that (once replanted) can take many years to reach flowering size. This is best carried out when the foliage has died down.

The bulbs should be planted deeply to flower reliably in later seasons.

Hybrids and cultivars
Iris danfordiae has the following cultivars: 'Atilla', 'Bornmülleri', 'Danfordiae Hort'.

Toxicity
Like many other irises, most parts of the plant are poisonous (rhizome and leaves), if mistakenly ingested can cause stomach pains and vomiting. Also handling the plant may cause a skin irritation or an allergic reaction.

title: Opera in Romania

text:
The history of opera in Romania dates back to the 18th century when French, Italian, and German touring companies began performing the standard European repertoire of the day in the main cities of Romania. Home-grown opera companies both professional and amateur began forming in the 19th century. In 1843 a purpose built theatre for the performance of Italian opera was established in Bucharest. Its inaugural performance was Bellini's Norma. Opera was also performed by the students at the conservatory established by The Philharmonic Society of Bucharest.

By the early 19th century, works by native Romanian composers began to be performed, although usually with librettos in German (or occasionally Hungarian). The notion of a Romanian national opera tradition emerged in the mid-19th century with the appearance of operas on Romanian subjects, often based on historical events, with Romanian-language librettos.

The country's principal national opera company, Romanian National Opera, Bucharest (Opera Națională București), had its roots in the formation of the Opera Society (Societatea Opera). In 1921 under the patronage of Queen Maria and Octavian Goga the society became a state institution with state funding. Their inaugural performance was on 8 December 1921 with George Enescu conducting the Bucharest premiere Wagner's Lohengrin. Further national opera companies were established in Timișoara, Iași, and Cluj.

Opera houses and companies
In addition to smaller opera companies such as Opera Brașov in Brașov, Craiova Romanian Opera in Craiova, and the Hungarian Opera in Cluj-Napoca, Romania has four national opera companies:
Romanian National Opera, Bucharest
Romanian National Opera, Cluj-Napoca
Romanian National Opera, Iași
Romanian National Opera, Timișoara

Operas and operettas are also performed at the National Theatre of Opera and Ballet "Oleg Danovski" in Constanța, the Nae Leonard Theatre in Galați, and the National Operetta Theatre in Bucharest.

title: Dalhem Church

text:
Dalhem Church () is a medieval church in Dalhem on the Swedish island of Gotland. Built in the 13th and 14th century, the church underwent major changes during a renovation at the turn of the 19th–20th centuries. Dalhem Church lies in the Diocese of Visby of the Church of Sweden.

History
The very first church on the site was a stave church, now vanished. This was followed by small stone church on the same site. This church, probably Romanesque in style, seems to have had a choir with an apse. In the presently visible church, the choir and nave are the oldest parts, dating from the 13th century. The tower, the main portal and the large window on the western façade date from the 14th century. The construction was led by Cistercian  monks from nearby Roma Abbey. The church was subsequently left more or less unchanged, with only some furnishings – notably, the carved wooden pulpit (1637) – being added later. In 1899 a major renovation of the church started, which to a large degree transformed the church.

Renovation

In 1899 a renovation of the church began. Architect and artist Axel Haig (known in Sweden as Axel Herman Hägg, 1835–1921) collected money, also internationally, for the thorough undertaking. The work continued for fifteen years, until 1914.

 The church was substantially altered both externally and internally, in an attempt to make the church appear even more medieval. The renovation was considered remarkable at the time, and led to the church being called the "national shrine of Gotland". Today, the renovation has been described instead as a "harsh and loose reconstruction of the Middle Ages". It remains a clear example of the ideas of cultural heritage conservation prevalent at the time.

Architecture
The church consists of three distinct parts: the tower, nave and choir. The tower, which reaches over  is adorned with galleries, an influence of art from the Rhine valley and topped with a form of spire known as a Rhenish helm. The main portal, on the south façade, is decorated with carved stone sculptures with motifs unusual for Gotland (14th century). In the wall adjacent to the northern portal, a tombstone originating from the earlier stone church has been immured. The exterior of the church has been whitewashed but the underlying limestone was laid bare during the 1899–1914 renovation.

Inside, the church is completely dominated by the changes made in 1899–1914, but among the later additions there are several original, medieval details. The church for example has the oldest preserved stained glass windows on Gotland (made by a German artisan), but to these have been added complementing windows in medieval style during the 1899–1914 renovation. Several medieval murals also survive, depicting e.g. the crucifixion and the archangel Michael. The walls are however dominated by the many paintings made by Haig during the renovation. A niche intended to house the bread and wine of the Eucharist, is actually a surviving fragment from the earlier, Romanesque church. The church also has a processional cross from the 14th century and a baptismal font from the 12th century, but almost all of the other furnishings stem from the great renovation of the church.

A minor renovation was carried out again in 1969, and it was then decided that the church should be kept in the condition it was after the 1899–1914 renovation.

title: Gökhan Avcıoğlu

text:
Celal Gökhan Avcıoğlu is an internationally renowned architect. He was born in Ankara, Turkey in 1960. He is the principal and founder of GAD in Istanbul, established in 1994. At GAD (Global Architectural Development), Avcıoğlu has completed a number of projects of varying function and size in Turkey and regionally.

Early life and education

Celal Gökhan Avcıoğlu was born in Ankara, Turkey to Selahattin Avcıoğlu, a bureaucrat and Yücel Avcıoğlu, née Erkul, a housewife. He has one sister, Serihan Avcıoğlu, who is an economist. His parents met in the Hacettepe district of Ankara while his family's roots can be traced back to Istanbul and Albania on his father's side and Istanbul, Bosnia and Thessaloniki (Selanik) in the Balkans on his mother's. His father worked as a bureaucrat for the Turkish State Railways, (Türkiye Cumhuriyeti Devlet Demiryolları), and the family often travelled throughout Turkey that included visits to archaeological sites such as the Greco-Roman city of Ephesus in the Mediterranean and Aegean coasts that became an inspiration for his interest in architecture.  He went to high school in Istanbul at Boğaziçi Lisesi in Baltalimani from 1974-77 with his youth primarily spent in the Kuzguncuk district of Üsküdar on the Asian side of the city. During his time living in Kuzguncuk he was able to witness the construction of the Bosphorus Bridge in the adjacent district of Beylerbeyi that motivated his curiosity for structure and structural engineering. During his time as a high school student, his interest in art and architecture brought him to take classes in sculpture at Istanbul's Fine Arts Academy - İstanbul Devlet Güzel Sanatlar Akademesi now known as Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University. In construction he was influenced by the work of the many "Design Build" architects working as building contractors in Turkey in the 1970s including spending time as an intern on the construction sites of his uncle, the architect and construction contractor Tandoğan Erkul.  Throughout his career Avcıoğlu in addition to his architectural practice would have key relationships with Turkey's contractors and builders seeking to advance economic and operational models for construction.

He was accepted to the İstanbul Devlet Güzel Sanatlar Akademisi in 1977 and after briefly attending architecture school in Edirne, Turkey, he would instead go on to start and complete his education in architecture at Selçuk University in Konya at a distance from Istanbul. Part of the reason for his decision to pursue architectural education in Konya was that it was a relatively calmer setting in a tumultuous time in Turkish history that included the urban conflicts of the Political violence in Turkey (1976–1980) and the succeeding 1980 Turkish coup d'état. He eventually graduated with a professional degree in architecture in 1983 during an extended 7 year tenure. Towards the end of his architectural education he worked as an intern with Turkish modernist architect Cengiz Bektaş from 1981 to 1983 who was also based in Kuzguncuk, Istanbul, and later started a practice Mimarlik Hizmetleri Ltd from 1990-1994 with the architect Nevzat Sayın whom he had met during his time at the office of Bektaş. He was active in the milieu of architects and archaeologists in Bektaş's circle which prompted him to explore Central Anatolia in detail including Cappadoccia. Later he would go further east, intrepidly hitchhiking on his own through Turkey to the Iranian regions of Khorasan and Isfahan on the Silk Road ending up in Samerkand in Uzbekistan. The end of his student days was marked by his internship on the restoration project of the Uzbek Sufi Lodge in Üsküdar, Istanbul, where he worked closely with the traditional carpenter craftsman, Eyup usta, on the complete reconstruction of the historical timber Ottoman building financed in part by the Turkish-American businessman, Ahmet Ertegün. This experience with traditional building would also be a trajectory he would pursue in his professional practice.

Career
Avcıoğlu is the founder and has been the principal of Global Architectural Development (GAD) since 1994. Avcıoğlu taught at the École Spéciale d'Architecture in Paris. His projects include residences, office and hotel buildings, cultural, public and commercial spaces in Istanbul, Bodrum, New Jersey, New York City, Washington, D.C., Virginia, Connecticut, Libya, Beirut, Riyadh, and Kyiv. He has offices in Istanbul, New York City, Bodrum and Dubai.ft.

Avcıoğlu is a member American Institute of Architects (AIA) New York Chapter, Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) and the Chamber of Architects Turkey (TMMOB).

Kadikoy Public Park Facilities İstanbul (1997)
The project is located in Kadıköy, İstanbul with its unobtrusive structure sitting in the middle of a natural park surrounded by a bustling, almost chaotic metropolitan atmosphere. The project demonstrates a high level of consideration for both people and the environment. The building's design is based on early Ottoman hammams (public bathhouses), which were often designed as cubic or rectangular masses with a primary dome over the central space. The architect decided to invert the old dome and place it above the cubic structure popping out of the ground. The intention was to make landscaping a key component of the project. The roof, which was the most noticeable piece protruding above ground, was treated as a landscaping feature or a huge planter to fit a bamboo garden. The graphic imposition of the proposal on the existing landscape is provocative, but with good reason. The relandscaping of this modest but essential urban park and public facilities have a lot of potential. The decision to bury the building, on the other hand, has helped the site by allowing green plants to continue above it.

Esma Sultan (2002)
In Istanbul Ortakoy district, Esma Sultan Mansion is a multi-purpose event and exhibition hall located right on the Bosporus Strait.  The project uses the concept of transparency to showcase the historic brick shell while creating a contemporary interior space for events, which was built inside the ruins of a 19th century Bosphorus Ottoman yali that was devastated by fire. The design concept centers on placing a glass box behind the remaining façade walls, preserving the building's heritage while adapting it to the needs of Istanbul's modern city.
The box, composed of glass walls and stainless steel with reinforced concrete columns, was designed to operate as a vibrant remnant, a functional record of bygone ages with old brick walls, as part of the "building inside a building" construction approach. This first proposal was based on a technical constructive aesthetic, which was accomplished with little adjustments in the finished structure. The bare brick walls face the Bosporus on the outside, a palimpsest on a shoreline previously dotted with these yalıs. The design addresses the issue of maintaining continuity with Istanbul's ancient urban fabric, particularly along the Bosporus, which has a rigorous building code that restricts new development to the rehabilitation of buildings that predate the mid-twentieth century.

KUUM Hotel and Residences (2009)
Being awarded as 2012 World Luxury Spa Awards "Best Luxury Destination Spa" and 2011 International Hotel Awards "Best Hotel Architecture", The KUUM Hotel Spa & Residences brings an innovative concept for the boutique’s lifestyle of resorts. The regional beauty, resources, and historical Mediterranean legacy inspired the conceptualization of the Hotel. The Kuum is located in Bodrum, an international destination known for its mild climate, turquoise waters, and cosmopolitan atmosphere.
The resort's diverse building typologies are organized to satisfy varied programming purposes, resulting in heterogeneous zones. The zones are divided into public and private zones. Another technique to add variety is to use the senses, especially the visual, tactile, and olfactory ones.
Material diversity provides visual and tactile richness, as well as a sense of wholeness via difference.

Exploded House (2009)
The Exploded House design illustrates classic Aegean vernacular homes with newer techniques and formal advances while maintaining the same attention to interior climate mediation. The project approach is to use passive ventilation based on wide overhangs, natural air circulation, and rainwater as an organic cooling system, whereas vernacular dwellings in Bodrum, use thick natural stone walls to buffer temperatures in the hot Aegean region. The House's angular structure protects it from the sun and serves as a formal synthesis with the asymmetric topography that fits into the rocky clefts of the hillside.
The main house's open layout coins that it is light and airy, which is essential in the summer. As an additional precaution, the building's roof is filled with ponds that collect rainwater and act as a heat sump. Water flows from one building's roof to the next, then circulates back around, producing a natural cooling system for the summer months of April to October. This climactic performance is achieved while the architecture is being created in accordance with building code constraints of 75 square meters in a layout where each unit is erected close to one another with a small space connecting them with a glass atrium.

Beşiktaş Fish Market (2009)

Beşiktaş Fish Market project, which received Archmarathon Crowd Award 2014 and International Architecture Award 2012 by Chicago Athenaeum, offers vibrant open space use for with its wide entrances on each side enabled by the steel and concrete structure without internal columns. Being located in one of Istanbul’s most populated and diverse neighborhoods, Beşiktaş Fish Market Project's main ideology regards to its formal and conceptual organization is to achieve a public and vibrant welcoming appearance,so the surface was permeated along its periphery resulting in a dynamic overwhelming form in concrete that generates programmatic and circulation elements to easily mix and flow.
The design is a modern and practical solution for this significant urban location's famous Fish Market, and it has become a proud symbol of the community's efforts to upgrade their market and area. The design that met the programmatic needs of the Fish Market as a retail outlet, but perhaps more importantly realized a modern public space with an innovative approach to form and materials in the traditional fabric of the city, working collaboratively with the primary stakeholders, the municipality, and fishmongers.

Borusan Music and Art House (2009)
Locating at Istanbul’s art and culture center İstiklal Avenue, Borusan Music and Art House hosts music and performance events, the visual arts, annual exhibitions, and other curatorial exhibitions. The project transformed the historic building into a multipurpose cultural center. While the modern box at its core includes a lightweight steel diagrid enabling open and flexible floor plans to facilitate events, the historic core has been restored. The building’s new functions are visible solely at street level vanishing behind the neo-classic façade on the upper floors in an ideology of the limited role modern architecture can offer in this historical urban fabric dominated by Istanbul’s 19th century past. Many artworks are attached to the building with LEDs illuminating the V columns. The project targets at symbolizing İstanbul’s colorful and artistic renaissance in a dualistic tension between past and present by preserving the city’s heritage.

One & Ortaköy (2011)

One & Ortaköy is a mixed-use project composed of two buildings and a courtyard adjacent to the Bosporus hillside and the urban surroundings. The courtyard connects the main residential building, which has four connected cylindrical volumes, and to the amorphously shaped smaller student dormitories. Buildings' roofs are designed to be leisure areas as playgrounds. The formation and typology of green roofs create a morphological connection with the existing topography. Another key ecological feature is the rainwater collection system on roofs, which is used to irrigate the gardens and dense plantation areas. The two buildings' façades were totally covered in Ünye stone, a form of yellow-beige limestone from Turkey's northern Anatolia region with a 3-million-year history. This stone, which comes in a variety of colors, is known for its thermal insulation characteristics in construction keeping interior spaces cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Therefore, the major motivation for using Ünye stone in the project is that it covers the various shapes of the building's exterior and that its surface reflects sunlight differently during each of the four seasons of the year, allowing occupants to feel the changing of seasons.

SUSONA Bodrum (2011)
The project lies on a private peninsula surrounded by turquoise water and forest in Torba, Bodrum which is a little seaside village with olive gardens and pine forests around it. The facilities were developed by Gokhan Avcioglu & GAD to reflect the Mediterranean lifestyle. The need for seclusion and the pleasure of being in the area are properly balanced. The concept of water drops with a strong energy center and concentric rings radiating outwards inspired the design. The resort's size and scope are in keeping with Bodrum's historical existence. The buildings have a maximum of two floors and are painted in the distinctive white color of the area. The resort's sleek and contemporary architecture forms are a key feature, signaling the resort's high level of luxury. Timber screens are also used to provide climatic relief as well as a distinctive visual component. A number of layers of buildings structured on tiers cascade down to the water's edge. Lush gardens with a variety of plants and trees may be seen in between the terraces. The programmatic requirements result in the formation of a cell-like structure with a nucleus at its core. The characteristics of the Forum and Agora are also reflected in the design, which combines multiple programs to create a network of public and private spaces.

DIVAN Kurucesme (2012)
Divan Kurucesme is located on one of the Bosporus' magnificent coasts and has a great cityscape. The project is critical since it must be in keeping with the city's silhouette, surrenders, and nature. Therefore, restoration efforts concentrated on maintaining the wall and trees that had already been there. With all of these new volumes, the project has also a multipurpose venue, meeting rooms, and topography incorporated into four hotel rooms. Parking and servicing areas are included in the project. Some features of the existing building, such as stone walls and vaults, have been maintained to preserve the social and constructed character. It is aimed that walls and vaults transform into living design structures.
The building's roof is supposed to be a fluxion of green surrenders. Simultaneously, the roof captures sunlight through controlled roof windows. Building elements' interior materials are made of sustainable and local materials; for the internal surface of the roof, rough wood panels were used, and natural stone was used for the floors.
With the brick walls, arches, and vaults above, the semi-transparent steel and glass canopy accentuates the historical fabric of the Bosporus in an architectural strategy that also provides a dynamic, modern architecture in a spatial sense. This spatial dynamism and historic architectural continuity in materials and forms do not always imply a restoration paradigm for updating the traditional building. Instead, the exposed ruins of prior building foundations and terraces have been combined to provide unique spatial linkages and views up and down the site, within the ancient remains, and, most crucially, from the Bosporus itself.

TASİGO Eskişehir Spa and Thermal Hotel (2013)
Various awards holders such as 2012 Highly Recommended Hotel Architecture, International Hotel and Property Awards, 2013 Green GOOD DESIGN Award for Eskisehir Spa & Thermal Hotel project, 2015 WAF shortlisted, 2016 Pool Vision Middle East in the category Tourism and Leisure, the project re-evaluates the city’s quite rich history and former civilizations existed on this land such as Hittites, Phrygia, Alexandria, Rome, Byzantium, Anatolia Seljuk Empire, and Ottoman Empire, and particularly Odunpazarı region that has great tourism assets with its historic texture. The idea was heavily influenced and inspired by the hot spring resources of Eskişehir. For years, the people believed that the hot water had a therapeutic effect and that anyone who sat in it for a time would improve their health; this led to a rise in the amount of attention that local and foreign visitors gave to the region. Because of the increasing growth in tourism potential, there is a demand for superior accommodations for both Turkish and foreign visitors. The project is a contemporary interpretation of the vernacular architecture and historical texture of Odunpazarı. In a hillside pine forest, there is also a hotel, a wedding venue, and guest cottages.
Because of its proximity to the geothermal water source, the project site is ideal for a thermal spa. To take advantage of the land's geothermal qualities, the spa, and wellness facility are buried in the ground. The project incorporates sustainable design elements by utilizing wind and solar energy. Geothermal energy is not only employed in spas but also for space heating during the winter months, thanks to a geothermal heat pump system. “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” is a fundamental waste mitigation approach that the property adopts. Cardboard, plastic bottles, glass bottles, steel and aluminum cans, office paper, newspaper, fluorescent light bulbs, cooking oil, toner cartridges, batteries, pallets, and crates are all gathered around the facility.

Serra Gate (2013)

For a long time, architects have been focusing on developing new forms through the development of new fabrication techniques. Thanks to affordable 3D printers, almost every designer today has the technical competence of experimenting with the possible designs that these new technologies might bring into the architectural world. Not only did it expand the production limits, making the entire process much faster with -literally- more outputs, but it also gave a solid face to the long-debated digital design methods, allowing them to "stand on their own" and refute the argument that digitization of design will inevitably and solely lead to paper architecture.
Serra Gate sculptural design has been placed in various locations including Taksim Square in Istanbul, just in time for Istanbul Design Week. GAD Principal, Gokhan Avcioglu, once mentioned that: “We are delighted that Serra Gate has been featured in Taksim one of the most important squares of Istanbul. Being a ground-breaking structure, Serra Gate will make the residents of Istanbul question how public spaces have been defined by urban interventions.” The Serra Gate's steel form was manufactured using cutting-edge technology and is named after the minimalist sculptor Richard Serra whose work inspired the design. The sinuous curve was created using the software Mathematica and modeled using the latest up-to-date 3D printing techniques.

title: Church of St. Francis and St. Bernard, Vilnius

text:
The Church of St. Francis and St. Bernard (also known as Bernardine Church) is a Roman Catholic church in the Old Town of Vilnius, Lithuania. It is located next to St. Anne's Church. Dedicated to Saints Francis of Assisi and Bernardino of Siena, it is an important example of Gothic architecture in Lithuania.

History

After their arrival in Vilnius, Bernardine monks built a wooden church in the second half of the 15th century, and at the end of the same century - a brick one. In the early 16th century it was reconstructed, apparently with the participation of a master from Gdansk (Danzig) Michael Enkinger. In the beginning of the 16th century the church was incorporated into the construction of Vilnius defensive wall, so there are shooting openings in its walls. Afterwards it was renewed many times, particularly after the 1655-61 war with Moscow, when the Cossacks ravaged the church killing the monks and citizens who had taken shelter there. In the times of the Soviet occupation it was closed down and handed over to the Art institute. In 1994, the brethren of St. Francis returned to the church. According to the legend, the Bernardine monks used to tell such good sermons that crowds would come to listen. That is why the church is so large.

Architecture

Church and Monastery are some of the largest sacral buildings in Vilnius, although in the 17th and 18th centuries they acquired the Renaissance and Baroque features. Being much larger and more archaic than the St. Anne's Church, it forms and interesting and unique ensemble with the latter. Gothic pointed-arch windows and buttresses stand out on the façade. Above them rises a pediment with twin octagonal towers on the sides and a fresco depicting the Crucifix in the middle niche. A Gothic presbytery is the oldest part of the church. Eight high pillars divide the church interior into 3 naves. There are many valuable 16th-century wall paintings in Bernardine church and the oldest known artistic Lithuanian crucifix sculpture from the 15th century. The walls of the naves are decorated with Gothic polychrome frescoes, partly uncovered in 1981 - dynamic, colourful figural compositions on biblical and hagiographic themes, with occasional inscriptions in Gothic characters, floral ornaments, heraldic insignia etc. These mural paintings date from the early 16th century and are considered unique in the world: their composition and type of presentation of the subject matter belongs to Renaissance, and the stylistics - to the Gothic style.
The Bernardine monastery north of the church, built simultaneously with the church, was renovated and reconstructed several times. Since its founding, a novitiate and a seminary operated at the monastery, a rich library had been accumulated, and a scriptorium operated. There artists, craftsmen and organists among the monks. The monastery was closed in 1864, and the building housed soldiers' barracks. In 1919 it was given to the art faculty of the university, later - to the Art Institute (now the Art Academy).

title: Robert Howell Craster Usher

text:
Flt Lt Robert Howell Craster Usher MC AFC was born in 1896 and was christened in East Lulworth, Dorset on 15 November 1896. He had a short but distinguished career in both the military during World War One, and subsequently, playing rugby. He died in a flying accident at the age of just 27.

Military Service

In 1914, he was commissioned a 2nd lieutenant in the 3rd Battalion of the Duke of Edinburgh's Wiltshire Regiment, and was promoted to captain in 1915. Usher applied to join the Royal Flying Corps in 1916 and was posted to 6 Reserve Squadron at Catterick for training on 22 March 1916. Following his successful graduation, Usher was seconded to the Royal Flying Corps as a flying officer on 11 May 1916 and posted to 27 Squadron at Treizennes, France, on 15 June 1916.

Usher sustained combat damage and was wounded in the leg and foot while bombing Marcoing, and force-landed at Moroeuil, on 30 July 1916, but was recognized for this action soon afterwards. He engaged and drove off three enemy aircraft and, on another occasion, engaged five enemy aircraft, continuing the battle despite injury until his engine stopped, and was awarded the Military Cross on 25 August 1916.

Promoted to temporary captain and appointed an equipment officer 1st class on 22 August 1917, Usher returned to the United Kingdom for the role, but was involved in a flying accident at Radford Aerodrome, Coventry, on 1 October 1917 when the engine of his BE2e biplane failed and he force-landed the aircraft with no engine.

His work off the front was recognised just prior to the Armistice, and he was awarded the Air Force Cross on 2 November 1918. On 1 August 1921, Usher's secondment to the RAF was extended by a further two years, but the following year was granted a permanent commission as a flight lieutenant in the RAF and resigned his commission as a lieutenant in the Wiltshire Regiment. His RAF postings during this period are unclear.

Rugby Union

In addition to his military service, Robert was a keen Rugby Union player. During his playing career he played for London Scottish and Leicester team sides and in 1920 was selected to play for an Anglo-Scottish side against the Scotland XV on the Christmas Day International Trial match.  In 1921 he was captain of the Rugby team at RAF Netheravon a team which included Basil Embry. Usher also played as a Forward in RAF matches again the Army and Royal Navy, and captained the RAF Rugby team in 1924.

Death

Usher was posted to the RAF Depot at Uxbridge on 16 April 1923, and to the Headquarters of the Superintendent of Reserves at RAF Northolt on 1 May 1923. On 5 June 1924, he undertook a test flight in de Havilland DH.42 'Dingo', J7006, which belonged to No. 41 Squadron RAF. The aircraft suffered structural failure and broke up in mid-air near RAF Northolt and he was killed, aged 27. He was the son of Robert & Alice M. Usher. No further circumstances are known and there is no explanation of why Usher was flying an aircraft being flight tested by No. 41 Squadron RAF.

The Singapore Free Press and Mercantile Advertiser reported his death as a severe loss to rugby.

title: Greeley House (East Kingston, New Hampshire)

text:
The Greeley House is a historic First Period house on New Hampshire Route 108, east of the center of East Kingston, New Hampshire. Built about 1718, it is one of the community's oldest surviving buildings, and a distinctive and visible reminder of its largely agrarian past. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.

Description and history
The Greeley House is located on the north side of New Hampshire Route 108, just a few feet from the roadway, at a point where it bends, mainly to avoid the house. It is a 2½-story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof, central chimney, and clapboarded exterior. Its main facade is five bays wide on the first floor and three on the second. The entrance is at the center, framed by a modest surround with a peaked lintel. The rear roof line extends to the first floor, giving the house a saltbox profile, and there is a shed-roof addition on the east side which was added in the 1960s. A gabled dormer projects from the rear roof face.

The house is believed to have been built in 1718 by Joseph Greeley. Its prominent location along the major east–west route through the town (between Kingston and Seabrook) has made it a landmark in the town for many years.

title: Jailbait images

text:
Jailbait images are sexualized images of minors who are perceived to meet the definition of jailbait. They can be differentiated from child pornography as they do not usually contain nudity. Jailbait depicts tween or young teens in skimpy clothing such as bikinis, short skirts, or underwear.

The online distribution of these images has caused legal and moral controversy, in some cases leading to the censorship of both the images and the word itself as a search term.

Legality, censorship and online impact
The legal status of jailbait images is unclear. When questioned regarding their legality, legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin stated he thought it was not illegal, though legal expert Sunny Hostin was more skeptical, describing them as "borderline" child pornography which may be illegal. While the images may be legal, they are often considered to be in poor taste. Jailbait is amongst the list of banned hashtags at the photo-sharing website Instagram, and the social networking website Tumblr. The term is also blocked on Google Instant. The images have been defended on the grounds of free speech, and have also been defended on the grounds they are similar to mainstream sexualized images of minors, such as those in the music video for "...Baby One More Time" by Britney Spears, who was 16 years old at the time of filming. Jailbait images are often collected directly from girls' social media profiles.

Numerous webpages and forums are devoted to the images. As well as uploading and sharing images, popular discussion topics at jailbait communities include ephebophilia, the difference between ephebophilia and pedophilia, and debating whether images of certain teens are too young or old to be classified as jailbait. Vice magazine commented on the lack of attention the press paid to the role popular jailbait image boards had on the suicide of Amanda Todd. An individual who was alleged to be harassing Todd prior to her suicide was tracked down by posts and images he uploaded to jailbait forums on the Internet. They also describe online jailbait communities as "a very insidious force on the Internet that is pitting overly clever pedophiles against insecure teenagers." They have also been said to "offer a window into a disturbing mindset." Self-identified pedophiles can be found in jailbait communities.

Reddit controversy

The most infamous online jailbait community was the subreddit section "/r/jailbait" on the website Reddit. It was the first result when searching for "jailbait" on Google, and was at one point the second largest search term that brought visitors to Reddit, topped only by the word "Reddit" itself.

The jailbait subreddit received widespread attention after Anderson Cooper devoted a segment of his TV program on September 29, 2011, to condemning both the subreddit itself and Reddit for hosting it. On October 10, 2011 the subreddit was shut down by Reddit administrators.

title: Gen. Mason J. Young House

text:
The Gen. Mason J. Young House, also known as the William Boyd House, is a historic house and connected farm complex at 4 Young Road in Londonderry, New Hampshire.  With a building history dating to 1802, it is a well-preserved example of a New England connected farmstead.  The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.

Description and history
The Gen. Mason J. Young House is located just off Londonderry's commercial area of New Hampshire Route 102, at the corner of Young Road and Cross Road. It is a -story wood-frame structure with a gable roof and a central chimney.  It is five bays wide and three deep with a columned portico (c. 1900) sheltering its front entry, and a single-story porch (dating to the mid-19th century) extending along the side. The interior has well-preserved period woodwork. A two-story wing extends to the rear of the house, which is further extended by a series of sheds connecting the house to a carriage house and dairy barn.

The main house is reported by family accounts to have been built in 1802, on a farm that was in active use since 1757. The land was first settled by Mason Boyd, and the house was built by William Boyd. Originally a subsistence farm, it was transformed into a dairy farm in the mid-19th century, delivering milk and other products to Boston by railroad. In the 20th century a shift began toward the production of apples. The property was registered as a Bicentennial Farm in 1976, reflecting over 200 years of ownership by a single family.

title: Anar Mammadli

text:
Anar Mammadli (; born 1978 in Yevlakh) is a prominent human rights activist in Azerbaijan. He is active in observing and monitoring elections, and he has repeatedly criticized the conduct of elections by Azerbaijani authorities. On 16 December 2013, Mammadli was arrested and jailed, following outspoken criticism of presidential elections in October 2013. In spite of international protests, Mammadli was sentenced to more than 5 years in jail in May 2014. On 29 September 2014, while still in detention, Mammadli was awarded the Václav Havel Human Rights Prize by the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, which honours "outstanding" action in defence of human rights.

Activism
Mammadli began his activism in the late 1990s. In 1997 he established the Secular Progress Youth Organization together with Bashir Suleymanli and other young co-founders. In 2001, Anar Mammadli participated in setting up the Election Monitoring Center. Five months before the Azerbaijani Presidential Elections in 2008, the registration of this organization was cancelled by the Khatai District Court on 14 May 2008 based on a technicality in official filings. In response, Anar Mammadli and Bashir Suleymanli established the Election Monitoring and Democracy Studies Center (EMDS) in December 2008.

Mammadli's organization is a member of the European Network of Election Monitoring Organizations (ENEMO), European Platform for Democratic Elections (EPDE), Network of Parliament Monitoring Organizations and the Civil Society Forum of the Eastern Partnership Program of the European Union, and Mammadli participated in numerous election observations internationally.

In addition to his activism, Mammadli has worked as a journalist, holding a variety of positions as newspaper reporter, commentator, editor and assistant to the editor in chief at “Merkez”("Center"), “Hurriyet” ("Freedom"), and “Bugün” ("Today"), from 1998 to 2002.

Mammadli is a graduate from the Azerbaijan University of Languages.

Arrest
After vocal criticism of the presidential elections held on 9 October 2013, the EMDS found itself under increasing pressure. In its report on the elections, the EMDS had highlighted a series of irregularities, saying that conditions for a free and democratic vote had not been met.

Shortly after EMDS published its report, the General Prosecutor's Office of the Republic of Azerbaijan opened a criminal case against Mammadli and he was arrested on 16 December 2013. On 26 May 2014, Mammadli was sentenced to 5 years and 6 months by the decision of Baku Grave Crimes Court. Mammadli was charged with illegal entrepreneurship, tax evasion, abuse of official authority to influence on the results of election, charges rejected by Mammadli and his lawyers. The trial and sentence was criticized by many international organizations and human rights groups. Amnesty International considers Anar Mammadli a prisoner of conscience, and a number of countries have called for his release.

In September 2014, Mammadli was awarded the Václav Havel Human Rights Prize by the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE). With this award, the Council of Europe wants to honour "outstanding civil society action in defence of human rights".

On 17 March 2016, after almost 2.5 years in prison, Anar Mammadli was pardoned by the president of Azerbaijan, along with a number of high profile political prisoners.

title: ClickHole

text:
ClickHole is a satirical website (formerly owned by The Onion) that parodies clickbait websites such as BuzzFeed and Upworthy. It was launched on June 12, 2014, in conjunction with The Onions decision to stop its print edition and shift its focus exclusively to the internet. According to ClickHole's senior editor, Jermaine Affonso, the website is "The Onion's response to click-bait content" and serves as "a parody of online media". Critics noted that, on a deeper level, ClickHole illustrates the shallow nature of social media content and media sites' desperation to share such content.

On February 3, 2020, the website was acquired by the team behind Cards Against Humanity. After the purchase, the website's employees became its majority owners, and retain complete creative control. As a result of the purchase, the website went on hiatus from February 3, 2020 to May 20, 2020.

Background
ClickHole aims to mock content posted on media sites, using satire, and tries to make its content shareable. According to its website, ClickHole wants "to make sure that all of [its] content panders to and misleads [its] readers just enough to make it go viral". In most of its posts, ClickHole tries to convey an underlying message, usually poking fun at social media users or societal behaviors.

The website aims to publish content frequently, setting a target of 7–10 new posts daily.

Content
ClickHole publishes content in the form of articles, videos, quizzes, blogs, slideshows, and features.

Since being founded in June 2014, ClickHole has published parodies of nostalgic content, advice, motivational quotes, sport analysis, life hacks, fashion, and think-pieces (all of which mimic the style and tone of content posted by media sites such as BuzzFeed and Upworthy). Another popular feature is "oral histories" of TV shows, websites, and other usually very recent pop culture phenomena.

The ClickHole team meets frequently to brainstorm about new ideas and topics that can be written about. The team uses social media feeds as inspiration for topics to satirize, based on the clickbait that is shared most often. ClickHole ensures that its employees put detail into how each topic should be addressed from a satirical point of view, so that its ideas are conveyed successfully. It also was revealed that the team is still at a stage where it is experimenting with ideas to see what is best received by its audience.

Content posted on ClickHole also is shared on social media platforms such as Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, Tumblr, and Pinterest.

In February 2015, ClickHole began posting interactive fiction adventure games called ClickVentures.

On February 23, 2017, ClickHole temporarily changed its name to Cruft. The change was unexplained, and the name was changed back the following day.

On May 17, 2017, ClickHole was changed to PatriotHole, declaring itself to be "the only viral media site brave enough to SCREAM about REAL Americans" and "the internet’s last stand against the tyranny of the Leftist Media." As PatriotHole, the site's journalistic style shifted to resemble fringe right wing news websites such as Breitbart and InfoWars. The site's logo was changed from an orange spiral pattern to a white eagle with orange lines spanning between its wings. Two days later, the site changed back to normal, although PatriotHole was spun off into its own section.

On August 29, 2017, PatriotHole introduced Doug Baxter as the host of its eponymous web video series which premiered on September 6, 2017. The show features Baxter as a parody of conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, parodying Jones's views on subjects like Hillary Clinton, globalists, 9/11 conspiracy theories, and products sold through the InfoWars website.

On May 9, 2018, ClickHole launched a new liberal-themed site called ResistanceHole, which has a similar theme to PatriotHole but targets liberal news media in its satire, and 'attacks' figures like Donald Trump and Mike Pence (as opposed to PatriotHole, which targets ones like Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders).

From January 31, 2022 through February 3, 2022, the website rebranded itself as KidHole and removed all of its previous content to replace it with more childish articles.

Reception
Within the first week of release, some readers criticized ClickHole for what they saw as a lack of originality. It was accused of using Upworthy, The Huffington Post and BuzzFeed for inspiration for its headlines, slideshows, and quizzes respectively. One hundred days after its launch, Fast Company praised the site, saying it was "earning praise from just about every corner of the Internet", with 36% web traffic generated via sharing on Facebook. The format established by ClickHole is being emulated by some campus satirical newspapers, such as The Michigan Every Three Weekly and The Georgetown Heckler with their spin-off.

Various writers predicted that the website will be a long-term success because its content has consistently been creative and targets a wide audience. They assumed this to be the case as long as ClickHole's audience understand that the website parodies clickbait, and is not clickbait in itself. Sam Parker of The Guardian said it was unclear whether ClickHole is "a satire of clickbait, or good satire done as clickbait".

Many users of social media have taken ClickHole articles to be literally true (especially those addressing controversial topics), and have expressed their anger and confusion online.

Celebrity recognition
Actor and director George Takei mentioned the website on his official Facebook account after the ClickHole team published an article dedicated to him ("10 Things We Hope George Takei Likes Enough To Share This List") and repeatedly tried to contact him through social media. In another instance, the Facebook account of Robert Downey, Jr. posted a link to the article "What Robert Downey Jr. Would Look Like Today," which had the satirical premise of the actor having died several years ago and stating, "I always try to defy expectations."

Writer and comedian B. J. Novak tweeted in March 2018 that the writers at ClickHole "are doing brilliant work."

After falling for a fake quote attributed to him on ClickHole, Anderson Cooper dedicated the "Ridiculist" segment of the May 20, 2015, episode of Anderson Cooper 360° to the website.

title: Lim-Sandžak Chetnik Detachment

text:
The Lim-Sandžak Chetnik Detachment () was a military unit of collaborationist Chetniks that was established in northern Montenegro and Sandžak at the end of June 1942, during World War II. In August 1942, it was commanded by Pavle Đurišić, and was the largest and the most elite military unit of Draža Mihailović at that time.

Establishment and initial structure
The Lim-Sandžak Chetnik Detachment was established by Pavle Đurišić, based on an agreement between Đorđe Lašić and Italian General Alessandro Pirzio Biroli signed on 24 July 1942 after about two months of negotiations. The agreement "legalised" the detachment with the Italian occupying forces. Chetniks that had not been "legalised" were much more numerous and important. The Italians tolerated groups of illegal Chetniks and gave them the status of a "national peasants' militia". The Lim-Sandžak Chetnik Detachment was a mobile unit consisting of four battalions, one for each region within the sector. Bijelo Polje, Berane, Andrijevica and Kolašin had one battalion each. According to the agreement, the detachment was authorised to a strength of 1,500 men who received a salary, food, clothes and arms from the Italians.

Expansion
On 12 July 1942, Chetnik headquarters met in Zimonjića Kula to decide about the allocation of Chetnik commands and areas of responsibility, and Montenegro was divided into western and eastern sectors. Bajo Stanišić was appointed as the commander of the western sector, while Pavle Đurišić was appointed as the commander of the eastern sector, which matched the existing territory of his detachment. At a further conference held the following month, Đurišić's sector was expanded to include Prijepolje, Priboj, Nova Varoš and Sjenica.

After this expansion the Lim-Sandžak Chetnik Detachment was reorganized into four corps:
 Kom Corps
 Lim Corps
 Mileševa Corps

It was planned to include Dečane Corps, consisting of three brigades (Peć, Istok and Drenica) as part of the detachment, but this plan remained only on paper. According to Chetnik documents, the Lim-Sandžak Chetnik Detachment had 200 officers and 15,349 men available for military service. They were armed with 13,116 rifles, 51 light machine guns, 15 machine guns and 5 mortars. The Italians also authorised Đurišić to raise a gendarmerie in his sector, which was used to terrorise members and supporters of the Partisans and the population in general.

Battles
As a part of the MVAC, the detachment participated in the Third Enemy Offensive against Yugoslav Partisans.

In the middle of May 1943, prior to the formal commencement of Case Black, around 2,000 men from this detachment, including Đurišić, were captured by German forces. Vojislav Lukačević succeeded Đurišić as the commander of the remaining men of the detachment.
