title: Stenopelmatoidea

text:
Stenopelmatoidea is a superfamily of insects in the order Orthoptera; in some older classifications this group was referred to as Gryllacridoidea.

Classification
The classification and constituency of Stenopelmatoidea is an ongoing source of controversy, with different authorities proposing radically different arrangements. At present, the majority of researchers appear to be mostly in consensus that Stenopelmatoidea comprises several well-separated lineages, at least three of which (Anostostomatidae, Gryllacrididae, and Stenopelmatidae) can be reasonably well-defined, and have molecular evidence that supports their recognition as monophyletic groups. At least one other authority, working exclusively with morphological characters, has instead proposed that Stenopelmatoidea contains only two lineages (Anostostomatidae and Stenopelmatidae), the latter of which not only includes Gryllacrididae as a subfamily, but also the entire superfamily Schizodactyloidea, similarly reduced to the rank of subfamily (e.g. ), a result explicitly rejected by other researchers.

In most classifications, Stenopelmatoidea consists of four families:
Anostostomatidae – wētā, king crickets
Cooloolidae – Cooloola monsters
Gryllacrididae – leaf-rolling crickets
Stenopelmatidae – Jerusalem crickets

title: Pedro Piernas

text:
Pedro Joseph Piernas was a Spanish military official who rose to the rank of commandant in 1768 and served as Lieutenant governor of Illinois between 1770 and 1775.

Biography

In 1747, Pedro Piernas is believed to have joined the Spanish Army and he probably obtained the ranks of infantry captain, colonel,  commandant, and lieutenant.

Piernas had already ruled Upper Louisiana in 1768, but he arrived in Saint Louis on March 10, 1769 . In August of that year, he was appointed Lieutenant Governor of Illinois by Alejandro O'Reilly. The French commandant of the village, Louis Groston de Saint-Ange de Bellerive, transferred formal control to Piernas on May 20, 1770. St. Ange was then named assistant to Piernas and special adviser on Amerindian affairs. Piernas also made St. Ange an infantry captain in the service of the Spanish Crown and maintained friendly relations with him. After the transfer, Piernas confirmed St. Ange's and Laclède's land grants. He rented Laclède's headquarters as government offices, with Spanish soldiers providing local security.

When Piernas assumed the office of Lieutenant Governor of Upper Louisiana, he realized that the population rejected the Spanish government. (Louisiana was French territory until the colony passed into Spanish hands under the terms of the Treaty of Paris at the end of the Seven Years' War) in 1763. Piernas immediately began working to reconcile the provincial public to the Spanish government; although he changed very little in the government of the colony, he introduced some new regulations that benefited the population.

Additionally, Piernas appointed Martin Duralde as Land surveyor to establish conclusive proof of the provincial borders. The appointment of a Frenchman as surveyor was unexpected and supported by the population. Piernas also publicly registered all donations that he had made without any legal requirement to do so. These acts of power, combined with a less oppressive government and the incorporation of French people in many subordinate offices, helped Piernas gain support as the new Spanish governor.

In 1772, in an attempt to control the Osages and Missouri tribes, he  banned trade with them, and British merchants from Canada began to trade with them instead. In 1773, Piernas sent a troop of forty men led by fur trader Pierre Laclede to capture the crew of the British merchant of furs Jean-Marie Ducharme. After the capture, the British managed to escape and emigrated to Canada. Piernas also sent soldiers up the river with wampum (shell beads used as a native money for the Eastern Woodlands tribes) belts to enlist the aid of the chiefs against the American interlopers.

Unlike the French, who respected and traded with local Amerindians, Piernas was standoffish and less diplomatic. In 1773, he invited a Shawnee chief to St. Louis to sign a treaty. It was designed to create a barrier between St. Louis and the tribes near Ste Genevieve. His followers, who were all dressed in their traditional clothing, accompanied the chief. After a series of threats, an Osage warrior was called upon to fight against Piernas, who imprisoned the Shawnee chief.

In 1774, a small prison was built by Piernas against the stone structure that Laclede had originally built as the headquarters of trade and as his residence. He also built a small chapel to replace the tent that was formally used for services and encourage a Capuchin friar, Father Valentin, to live in the village as their primary resident priest. His friend and aide, Benito Vasquez, provided a new bell in Piernas’honor for the new church, dubbed "Pierre Joseph congratulated."

Piernas left office as Lieutenant Governor of Illinois in 1775, being replaced by Colonel Francisco Cruzat.

Personal life

Piernas married a French woman named Portneuf, which may have also contributed to his popularity with the French residents of the colony. Their house was one of the first built in St. Louis.

title: Membrane theory of shells

text:
The membrane theory of shells, or membrane theory for short, describes the mechanical properties of shells when twisting and bending moments are small enough to be negligible.

The spectacular simplification of membrane theory makes possible the examination of a wide variety of shapes and supports, in particular, tanks and shell roofs. There are heavy penalties paid for this simplification, and such inadequacies are apparent through critical inspection, remaining within the theory, of solutions. However, this theory is more than a first approximation. If a shell is shaped and supported so as to carry the load within a membrane stress system it may be a desirable solution to the design problem, i.e., thin, light and stiff.

title: Thomas J. Mackell

text:
Thomas J. Mackell (July 19, 1914 – January 27, 1992) was an American lawyer and Democratic politician from New York.

Life
He was born on July 19, 1914, in New York City.  He worked as a power maintainer in the subways while attending college and law school. He graduated from the City College of New York in 1938, and from St. John's University School of Law in 1942.  The same year he joined the police force and became a detective in 1946.  He left the police in 1952, and practiced law instead.  He also entered politics as Democrat.

Mackell was a member of the New York State Senate (Ninth District) from 1955 to 1966, sitting in the 170th, 171st, 172nd, 173rd, 174th, 175th and 176th New York State Legislatures.  In September 1959, he challenged Borough President of Queens John T. Clancy in the Democratic primary, but was defeated.  In September 1961, he ran in the Democratic primary for President of the New York City Council, but was defeated by Paul R. Screvane. At the beginning of the session of 1965, the Democrats had a majority over the Republicans, but were split into two factions: the followers of Mayor Robert F. Wagner Jr. and the followers of U.S. Senator Robert F. Kennedy. During part of the month-long deadlock, Mackell received the 14 votes of the Wagner men for Temporary President, but was eventually replaced with Joseph Zaretzki.

He was District Attorney of Queens County from 1967 to 1973.

Ponzi scheme
On August 1, 1972, Mackell announced that nine of his assistant D.A.s, among them his son-in-law James D. Robertson, were cited in a federal investigation for income tax evasion as having invested money in a Ponzi scheme. In September 1972, Maurice H. Nadjari was appointed as a special prosecutor to probe into corruption in the law enforcement and judicial system of New York City. On October 10, the defence of Joseph Ferdinando, the operator of the Ponzi scheme, asked the Appellate Division to remove Mackell from the case, because his assistants were involved in it. On October 22, it became known that, when the first complaint against the Ponzi scheme operator had been made, Mackell assigned his son-in-law to the case, knowing that he had invested in the scheme. The case dragged on for months, Mackell himself testified before the grand jury and on February 26, 1973, Mackell transferred the case to the Nassau County D.A. Nevertheless, Nadjari continued his inquiry into Mackell's office for some months until the special grand jury indicted Mackell for several misdemeanors, and he was arrested on April 12. On April 23, Mackell resigned as district attorney. His trial began on January 14, 1974, and ended on March 2 with his conviction for conspiracy, hindering prosecution and official misconduct. On April 23, he was sentenced to six months in jail. On March 28, 1975, the New York Supreme Court, Appellate Division overturned the conviction and dismissed all charges, for lack of evidence, saying that "Nadjari was guilty of constant and patent disregard of the basic rules of evidence". Nadjari tried to have the Appellate Division overruled by the New York Court of Appeals, but on June 10, the latter upheld the Appellate decision. Afterwards Mackell resumed the practice of law.

Mackell died on January 27, 1992, in Douglaston, Queens, of stomach cancer.

title: Orange Leaf Frozen Yogurt

text:
Orange Leaf Frozen Yogurt (or simply Orange Leaf) is an Oklahoma City-based chain of self-serve frozen yogurt franchises founded in 2008.  It has spread to over 300 locations in the United States and has also expanded internationally.

History
Previously known as Orange Tree Frozen Yogurt, it was founded in 2008.  Mike Liddell and Reese Travis noticed a franchise was doing good business in Edmond, Oklahoma.  They purchased a franchise in 2009, and Liddell purchased the company in 2010.  Liddell then moved the company from California to Oklahoma, hired Travis as CEO, and changed the name to Orange Leaf.

In April 2011, it had 63 stores open in the United States, and it expanded to 111 locations in September 2011.  As of October 2013, it had over 300 locations (by 2017 that number had reduced to less than 210 locations), and it planned an IPO in 2015.

Frostee Rucker and John Calipari have invested in franchises.

In 2014, an Indiana-based franchisee had filed a suit in federal court in Indianapolis that "Orange Leaf misled him and made false statements about store revenue to coerce him into opening shops outside of Indiana—in Illinois, Florida, and Tennessee." Orange Tree had filled a counter suit claiming breach of contract.
In January 2018, Orange Leaf named Kendall Ware the President and COO.

International locations

Orange Tree opened its first international franchise, located in Australia, in 2011 in Melbourne. By the end of 2013, there were three locations in the state of Victoria plus one at Bondi Beach, in Sydney. , there are four locations in the states of Victoria and one location in New South Wales.

In 2014, CNBC reported that it has expanded into Asian markets, including China. Although it was announced in May 2014 that two stores were going to open soon in the Chinese city of Shanghai, no stores have open on the Asian continent as of September 2015.

Stores
The stores are self-serve.  They offer sugar-free, gluten-free, non-dairy, and vegan alternatives.  The Oklahoman described the stores as "living rooms that happen to have yogurt dispensers".

The 1920 United States presidential election in Virginia took place on November 2, 1920. Voters chose twelve representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president. This was also the first presidential election after the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment, which granted women the right to vote throughout the United States, including Virginia.

The 1900s had seen Virginia, like all former Confederate States, almost completely disenfranchise its black and poor white populations through the use of a cumulative poll tax and literacy tests. So severe was the disenfranchising effect of the new 1902 Constitution that the electorate for the 1904 presidential election was halved compared to that of previous elections, and it has been calculated that a third of those who voted were state employees and officeholders.

This limited electorate meant Virginian politics was controlled by political machines based in Southside Virginia — firstly one led by Thomas Staples Martin and after he died the Byrd Organization. Progressive “antiorganization” factions were rendered impotent by the inability of almost all of their potential electorate to vote. Unlike the Deep South, historical fusion with the “Readjuster” Democrats, defection of substantial proportions of the Northeast-aligned white electorate of the Shenandoah Valley and Southwest Virginia over free silver, and an early move towards a “lily white” Jim Crow party meant that in general elections the Republicans retained around one-third of the small statewide electorate, with the majority of GOP support located in the western part of the state. However, in many parts of the state — like in Tennessee during the same period — the parties avoided competition by an agreed division over local offices.

Unlike North Carolina, Tennessee or Oklahoma — the other Southern states with the rudiments of a two-party system like typically contested statewide general elections — Virginia was influenced neither by Appalachian or Ozark isolationism nor the Nineteenth Amendment. Virginia had not given women suffrage at any level before 1920, and in February the State House of Delegates rejected the Nineteenth Amendment by 62 to 22 and the state’s Senate rejected it by a vote of 24 to 10. There were efforts to have women’s suffrage subject to a referendum and an amendment to the state constitution after it was rejected by the legislature, but the idea was never carried out.

Neither Republican nominee, Ohio Senator Warren G. Harding nor Democratic nominee, former Ohio Governor James M. Cox campaigned in the state. Unlike Oklahoma, Tennessee and to a much lesser extent North Carolina, there never was a thought that Virginia would be vulnerable to an expected and observed Republican landslide that saw Harding win the national election with 60.32 percent of the vote. Cox would win Virginia by a margin of 23.47 percentage points — a decrease vis-à-vis Woodrow Wilson’s results in the two previous elections, but much less than the Democratic Party experienced nationally.

title: New York Apples

text:
The New York Apples were a charter franchise of World Team Tennis (WTT). The team was founded by Jerry Saperstein, who sold it to New York businessman Sol Berg during its inaugural 1974 season. The team was originally known as the New York Sets to match the names of other successful New York sports teams including the New York Mets baseball team, the New York Jets football team, and the New York Nets basketball team. They won the 1976 WTT championship under that name led by Billie Jean King. Prior to the 1977 season, the defending champion Sets held a contest to choose a new name for the team, and Apples was selected. With their new name, the Apples produced the same results winning their second consecutive WTT title in 1977. On October 27, 1978, Berg folded the Apples after their fifth season. WTT suspended operations of the league shortly thereafter.

Franchise history

Inaugural season

On May 7, 1974, the Sets lost their inaugural match on their home court at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in the hamlet of Uniondale in the town of Hempstead, New York to the Hawaii Leis, 29–25.

After opening the season with two losses at home, the Sets got their first victory in franchise history on the road beating the Cleveland Nets, 31–30, on May 12, 1974. Following the win over the Nets, the Sets lost 10 straight matches to fall to 1–12. The Sets finished the season in last place in the Atlantic Section with a record of 15 wins and 29 losses.

title: The Young, the Evil and the Savage

text:
The Young, the Evil and the Savage () is a 1968 Italian giallo film directed by Antonio Margheriti.

Plot
A woman is drowned in a bathtub and then placed in a trunk that lands in a pickup truck going to St. Hilda College. Among the teachers is a newcomer, Mrs. Clay, a science teacher. In addition, there is a young teacher, Richard Barrett, a diving instructor, and the college gardener La Foret. There are only seven girls at the institute, as the others are on vacation. Arrived at the destination, the trunk is brought to the basement.

Soon one of the girls, Betty Ann, who had gone to the basement, is strangled and taken away. The search for the missing girl begins. Jill claims she died and was killed by the gardener. All girls are told not to leave the rooms, but one, Lucille, has an appointment with her teacher Richard, with whom she has an affair. Nevertheless, Lucille decides to go out and goes to a small house on a hill, where she discovers Betty Ann's body and runs away. She meets Richard and tells him everything. When they return, Betty Ann's body is gone. Lucille is desperate to leave school, so Richard advises her to pack three in the pool and wait for him.

Lucille returns to boarding school, and while she takes a shower, the gardener spies on her from a tree. She notices strange movements on the plant and returns to the room frightened. Another girl, Cynthia, takes a shower and is killed in front of the gardener. But this time, Jill finds the body, and the police are called. Shortly after the agents arrive, the gardener is killed. Lucille wants to escape because she believes Cynthia was accidentally killed in her place. Meanwhile, he entrusts himself to his girlfriend Denise and tells her about the date with Richard at the pool. As she has to be questioned by the police, she asks her friend to go to her place. Denise accepts and is attacked by the killer, but Jill, who has followed her, manages to let him run away. The police dogs finally find the body of Betty Ann.

In the end, the girl finds him, but when he wants to go up, the man is pushed down the stairs. The killer reveals himself: it is Pierre, Lucille's cousin, who disguised himself as Mrs. Clay to capture the legacy and blame it on the real Mrs. Clay hiding in the trunk, and then stage her suicide.

Pierre wounds Richard, but Inspector Durand kills him. Tranquility returns to college, and Lucille and Richard end up together.

Cast

Production
The Young, the Evil and the Savage was originally developed as a project for Mario Bava. Bava was contacted by producer Lawrence Woolner of the Woolner Brothers, who had distributed his films Hercules in the Haunted World and Blood and Black Lace in the United States. Woolner had relocated to Rome to set up a new independent production company with Giuseppe De Blasio. Woolner approached Bava with a story idea about a killer stalking a school for young debutantes. Bava accepted the offer to direct the film, which at the time had the title Cry Nightmare. In either late May or early June, he began working with the English writing team of Brian Degas and Tudor Gates. The film's screenplay was completed in July. According to Mario Bava's son, Lamberto Bava, "Just a short time before the filming was to begin, [Mario] had an argument with the producers and he abandoned the film."

The film's director, Antonio Margheriti, stated that he initially became involved with the Woolner Brothers as they had distributed his film Castle of Blood. Margheriti stated he did not recall why Bava did not complete the film, stating that "I think Mario was busy at that time, working on Diabolik or something", and then they gave the production to him and his production company. According to Bava's biographer Tim Lucas, Margheriti took over production shortly after Bava left, as locations had already been scouted for and secured, cast and crew had been hired, and a theme song had been written and recorded.

The film was shot on location in Rome and on the French Riviera under a new title, Sette vergini per il diavolo ().

Release
The Young, the Evil and the Savage was submitted to the Italian censors on December 22, 1967, but the film was not released for another two months until it premiered under the title Nude...si muore on February 20, 1968. Bava, Gates and Degas received no screenwriting credit for their work on the film; the film instead credits Margheriti and Franco Bottari for writing the screenplay from a story credited to Giovanni Simonelli. Lucas stated that the film follows Bava, Gates and Degas' script "almost 100% faithfully."

The film was released in the United States by American International Pictures as The Young, the Evil and the Savage, where it opened in New York as on August 14, 1968 on a double bill with Witchfinder General.

Margheriti retrospectively described the film as a "nice little giallo", noting that it was ahead of its time, as the giallo did not gain high popularity in Italy until the release of Dario Argento's The Bird with the Crystal Plumage.

Reception
In a contemporary review, David McGillivray found the film to be a "succession of tame and predictable murders [...] investigated with understandable indifference by Michael Rennie" and concluded that the film "will come as a grave disappointment to those who recall "Anthony Dawson's" flair for atmospherics in his earlier horror films."

title: Laurel Fork (North Fork South Branch Potomac River tributary)

text:
The Laurel Fork is a  stream in Virginia and West Virginia, United States.  The stream flows north from Highland County, Virginia, where its source and the majority of its length is located, to its mouth in Pendleton County, West Virginia.  Laurel Fork is a tributary to the North Fork South Branch Potomac River, making it a part of the Potomac River watershed.  The area surrounding Laurel Fork is home to several plant and animal species found nowhere else in Virginia, and is a prime example of a northern boreal forest in the state.

Course
Laurel Fork begins in a mountainous region of Highland County, Virginia near the county's western border with Pocahontas County, West Virginia.  The stream's source is located approximately  southwest of U.S. Route 250 near the southern slopes of Bear Mountain at an elevation of .  This location is approximately  to the east of the Eastern Continental Divide.  From its source, Laurel Fork flows northward, crossing under U.S. 250, in a winding manner.  After collecting the tributary waters of the smaller Collins Run and Blights Run, Secondary Route 642 (Laurel Fork Road) begins to run alongside the Laurel Fork, approximately  north of U.S. Route 250.  Near this location, the stream flows under 642 near the mouth of the tributary Mullenax Run.  At Mullenax Run, Laurel Fork enters the Laurel Fork Special Management Area of the George Washington National Forest.    A short distance to the north of Mullenax Run, Laurel Fork collects the waters of Newman Run and 642 leaves the banks of Laurel Fork to the east.  The stream continues winding northward from Newman Run through the National Forest, intersecting the tributary streams of (from south to north) Bearwallow Run, Lost Run, Knotmaul Run, Christian Run, Slabcamp Run, Locust Spring Run, Buck Run, and Cold Spring Run.  Approximately  northeast of Newman Run and Secondary Route 642, Laurel Fork enters Pendleton County, West Virginia.

Upon entering the state of West Virginia, Laurel Fork enters the Monongahela National Forest and takes an eastwardly turn.  The stream flows approximately  east, collecting the tributary waters of Sams Run, before reaching its mouth.  The Laurel Fork's mouth is at an elevation of  approximately  downstream from its source.  At this point, Laurel Fork joins Straight Fork, which flows northward roughly parallel to Laurel Fork in a valley to the east.  Located  north of the village of Hardscrabble, Virginia, the confluence of the Laurel and Straight Forks begins the North Fork South Branch Potomac River.

Watershed
Laurel Fork's watershed and course is located within the Alleghany Valley of western Highland County, with a short extension to the north into Pendleton County.  The Alleghany Valley is situated between Allegheny Mountain to the west and Lantz Mountain to the east.  The northern portion of the valley is divided into two watersheds, those of the Laurel Fork to the west and the Straight Fork to the east, by Middle Mountain.  The sub-valley between Allegheny Mountain and Middle mountain contains the watershed of the Laurel Fork, and is characterized as shallow and elevated.  The hillsides surrounding Laurel Fork are steep, with elevations along the ridges of Allegheny Mountain to the west of the stream averaging .

The stream meanders through predominately heavily wooded hillsides with a moderate gradient.  Laurel Fork's substrate primarily consists of cobble and gravel.  The area of Laurel Fork within the Special Management Area in Virginia was designated as an Exceptional State Water in Virginia.  This designation arises from the stream's "outstanding scenic beauty", "exceptional aquatic communities", and "superior recreational opportunities".

Flora and fauna
The Laurel Fork area hosts many different species of plants and animals, among which there are several unique and endangered species.  The Laurel Fork Special Management Area (SMA), located in the George Washington National Forest, covers part of the stream's run.  Within the Commonwealth of Virginia, at least twenty-five species are known to only live in the Laurel Fork SMA.

Plants
The Laurel Fork area, especially the SMA, is known to be "one of Virginia's finest examples of a northern boreal natural community". The area is home to a large amount of red spruce, along with Fraser Fir, Hemlock, and various northern hardwoods.  Rhododendron bushes are common in the area and are described in some sections to present a "veritable barrier".  It is the rhododendron, which is often called "laurel", that gave the Laurel Fork its name.  Sphagnum mosses along the spruce-fir forest floor are common as are berries, such as bearberry, gooseberry, and blueberries.

Animals
Three state endangered species of animals are present within the Laurel Fork SMA:  the Virginia northern flying squirrel, the snowshoe hare, and the water shrew.  The distribution in Virginia of all three of these species is limited to a small number of counties, with the snowshoe hare only found in Highland County.  Fishers are found in the area of Laurel Fork, but most of these are probably "wanderers" from West Virginia.  Birds are found in many varieties in the SMA, such as the red-breasted nuthatch, white-breasted nuthatch, black-throated green warbler, golden-crowned kinglet, wild turkey and junco.  Beavers are found in the area as well, especially in the regions to the west of Laurel Fork.  Larger animals such as white-tailed deer, which has a sizable population, and black bears are present in the area.

Fish, especially native brook trout are abundant in Laurel Fork, which is larger in comparison to other Virginia trout streams.

title: Battle of Lechfeld (910)

text:
The first Battle of Lechfeld (the first Battle of Augsburg in Hungarian historiography), fought on 12 June 910, was an important victory by a Hungarian army over the combined forces of East Francia and Swabia (Alamannia) under the nominal command of Louis the Child. Located approximately  south of Augsburg, the Lechfeld is the floodplain that lies along the river Lech. At this time the Grand Prince of the Hungarians was Zoltán, but there is no record of him taking part in the battle. After the battle, the victorius Hungarians broke into Franconia for the first time. On 22 June in Franconia, the same Hungarian army defeated a united army of the duchies of Franconia, Lotharingia and Bavaria in the Battle of Rednitz. The Bavarian, Frankish, Swabian and Saxonian duchies became taxpayers of the Hungarians. As consequence of this victory, in the next year, Hungarian attacks launched from the Carpathian Basin crossed the Rhine for the first time in 911.

The battle is an example of successful use of the feigned retreat tactic, usually carried out by nomadic warriors, and highlighting the effective use of psychological warfare.

Sources
Sources include Antapodosis, seu rerum per Europam gestarum, written by Liutprand of Cremona, Continuator Reginonis, Annales Alamannici, and the necrologies of the Swabian counts Gozbert and Managolt, who were killed in this battle. The chronicle Annalium Boiorum VII, written in the 16th century by the Bavarian humanist Johannes Aventinus, gives a detailed narration of the battle, relying on older documents which today are lost. However, he errs in dating this battle to 907, soon after the Battle of Pressburg, mistakenly locates it at Ennsburg in Bavaria, and instead of Swabians, names the Bavarians as participants.

Location and date
The majority of historians accept the date and place of the battle given by Liutprand as 910 and Augsburg, respectively. Although the Antapodosis was written in the 950s, only a few decades after the battle, the Hungarian historian Torma Béla believes that Aventinus, who wrote in the 16th century, was correct when he placed the battle in 907 and at Ennsburg, not Augsburg. However, this represents a dissenting opinion from other historians, who believe that the near-contemporary Liutprand's information is more accurate.

Background

This battle was part of the war in the Carpathian Basin between the newly-settled Hungarians and the kingdom of East Francia, which lasted from the Hungarian conquest of Transdanubia from the Bavarians in 900, until the Battle of Rednitz in 910. After the Battle of Pressburg in 907, the Hungarians continued their campaigns against East Francia. In 908 a Hungarian army invaded Thuringia and were victorious at Eisenach, killing the co-dukes Burchard and Egino, as well as Rudolf I, Bishop of Würzburg. In 909 a Hungarian army invaded Bavaria, but it was defeated by Arnulf, Duke of Bavaria in a minor battle near Pocking.

Prelude
Possibly desirous of repeating the victorious campaigns of his ancestor Charles the Great against the Avars which ended with the subjugation of the latter (though unmindful of the fate of Luitpold in the Battle of Pressburg three years earlier), King Louis decided that forces from all the German duchies should come together to fight the Hungarians. He even threatened with execution those who would not gather under his flag. So we can presume that Louis gathered a "huge army," as Liutprand terms it in his Antapodosis. The exact size of the Frankish army is not known, but it can be assumed that it was far more numerous than the Hungarian army.  This explains why the Magyars were so cautious during the battle, and waited an unusually long time (more than twelve hours), sapping the strength of the enemy little by little with hit-and-run tactics as well as using psychological methods to confuse them, before taking the decisive tactical step.

The historian Igaz Levente states that the Hungarian campaign of 910 was started in order to prevent another German campaign against the Hungarian territories like the one from 907, which ended in disaster for the Western army in the battle of Pressburg. Although it was a crushing Hungarian victory, the Magyars thought that it is safer to conduct military operations in Germany rather than in their own lands. This Hungarian campaign is often cited as a brilliant example of the preventive war strategy.

The king and his troops arrived near the city of Augsburg, on the plains of Gunzenle, near the Lech river, and waited for the Frankish army led by Gebhard, Duke of Lorraine to appear and join them against the Hungarians. The king's army was led by Count Gozbert, because Louis was only 16 years old at the time. We do not know who led the Hungarians, inasmuch as the Grand Prince of the Hungarians in the ninth and tenth centuries never took part in a battle outside of the Hungarian territories, the campaigns being led by more minor military leaders—possibly the gyula, the horka or one of the princes.

The Hungarians learned about the plans of Louis, and quickly sent an army to prevent the joining of the Swabian and Frankish-Lotharingian-Bavarian forces. From the work of Aventinus: Annalium Boiorum volume VII, we can reconstruct their route: After they had crossed Bavaria via the River Enns, they reached Augsburg through Tegernsee, then Sandau near to Landsberg am Lech. They reached Augsburg through forced march very quickly, totally unexpected by his army. This is further proof of the incredible efficiency of espionage due to its emphasis by the Principality of Hungary and other states of the nomadic warriors. The unexpected appearance of the Hungarians before the battle of Augsburg makes it hard to believe that it was only a coincidence. This shows that Hungarian intelligence worked very effectively not only within Hungary, but also in enemy territory, making possible the rapid movement of military operations onto the opponent's land.  As Liutprand of Cremona mentions, the king did not expect that the Hungarians would appear in his territory so quickly. So his plans of uniting all of his forces: his mostly Swabian troops and the Frankish-Lotharingian-Bavarian army, before the battle, failed because of the remarkable espionage of the nomadic Hungarian state and the superior mobility of the Magyar army, which made possible for them to defeat these two armies separately. In conclusion we can say that the Hungarian spies learned of the preparations of the Frankish armies and informed the Magyar commanders so quickly, that these had the time to gather an army and move into the German territory so quickly that the Eastern Franks had no time not only to reach Hungary, but even to finish the concentration of their troops, and start to move towards it. Still, from the account of Liutprand of Cremona it can be understood that, even without the Frankish help, the king's army had many more soldiers than the Hungarians.

One historian supposes that a small Hungarian unit kept the Frankish army busy until the Battle of Augsburg ended. Hungarian nomadic warriors used similar tactics elsewhere. They distracted enemies with simple maneuvers to hide the real tactical movement and intent. An example is the Battle of the Brenta.

Battle
On the dawn of 12 June 910, the Hungarian horsemen made a surprise attack, shooting arrows from a distance on the king's camp, killing many Germans with their arrows in their sleep, or quite after they woke up. But this attack was only a minor preparatory, so called swarming attack in order to diminish the fighting spirit of the Germans, after which they retreated to their camp.

The Germans prepared for battle, making their battle formation, and it began, with the Hungarians, probably in small swarming archer groups, attacking on horses, shooting arrows on the Germans, who protected themselves with their wall of shields. After a while the Hungarians retreated feigning defeat, and when the German heavy mounted horsemen pursued them, they shot arrows back on the Germans, killing many of them, while their horses continued to retreat. In the course of the day, this tactic was used several times. Probably the German army was composed of infantry and heavy cavalry, with heavy shields, lances, and swords, while the Hungarians were all light cavalry, with bow and arrow as their main weapon. This is why when the Germans attacked, only the heavy cavalry pursued the Hungarians, while the infantry formed a solid wall, and stayed in their places. Because of their light weapons and armor, Hungarians were more mobile and quick, but at the same time more vulnerable to the Germans' heavy weapons. But their nomadic composite bows were much more superior than the European bows, and because of this they could kill the enemy with their arrows, without being reached by the Europeans. Also the Hungarian horses were quicker than the German ones, because they had less weight to carry. But still, in order to lure the German soldiers after them, the Hungarians had to move very close, and even start short hand-to-hand skirmishes with the superior Germans, in the places of the defensive line, where they saw weaknesses, then to run, when the situation started to be severe, convincing the enemy that he is about to win, persuading him to pursue them, and with this to break his battle formation, giving them the opportunity to exploit this, and inflict heavy losses on them.

It was 7 in the evening, which is more than 12 hours from the start of the battle (at dawn), and Louis the Child thought that his troops were about to win the battle. At this moment the Hungarians started a general attack, then again used the famous feigned retreat tactic of the nomadic warriors, starting to retreat in haste, like they were defeated. We do not know for sure why, but at this point the Germans were very sure that they had won the battle, and started a general attack on the retreating Hungarians, leaving their well-protected defensive lines, and breaking their battle formation in their rush to catch up to the Hungarians, who retreated in ordered lines, very careful to not disorganise their battle order.

Maybe they did not want to wait for another night, thinking that the Hungarians will shoot arrows on them all the night, destroying their camp, or they were tired by the unusual length of the battle (it lasted all day, from dawn to evening), in the hot summer sun, or they were traumatised by the ever-growing losses inflicted on them by the Hungarian arrows, or on the contrary the Hungarians, with their monotone, apparently unsuccessful attacks against their lines aroused in them a self-conceit that they are about to win the battle. Nevertheless, this shows that the Hungarians used again psychological warfare tactics, making the enemy troops to be frightened, or to lose their will to fight, or to be exaggeratedly self-conceited, which made them easier to defeat. The Hungarians also used psychological warfare in another battle that occurred 11 years earlier: the Battle of Brenta River, feigning defeat in an early skirmish, then running away, showing to the enemy commanders that they had despaired, then sending envoys to them asking for forgiveness, with this convincing the enemy to feel pretentious and comfortable, then striking in an unexpected moment and destroying the Italian army.

During the whole battle of Augsburg, the Hungarians waited for this moment, hiding their reserve troops in woods that allowed huge numbers of soldiers to be concealed. The retreating main Hungarian army lured the attacking German cavalry to the places in which their reserve troops were hidden, and they continued to retreat until the whole pursuing German cavalry crossed the narrow field which separated two woods in which the Hungarian reserves were hidden, when suddenly without observing them, these hidden Hungarian reserves came out from their hiding places and attacked the Germans with loud screaming in order to frighten and demoralize them before the final clash.

In this moment, the retreating Hungarian main troops turned back and attacked the Germans from the front, resisting their charge, and not letting them break their line. At that moment those Hungarian units who came from the rear and sides of the Swabians surrounded them completely, and entered into a final hand-to-hand fight with the hopeless enemy. This shows that before the battle, the Hungarian commander chose carefully a place near the initial battlefield, with two woods near to each other, in which he could hide some of his troops, which waited until the pursuing Germans passed them, and then attacked them. One of the key elements of nomadic warfare was the careful choosing of the battlefield, which provide them advantage in winning the battle. For nomads, one of the important elements in a battlefield were the places where they could hide some of their troops, and to lure the enemy there in order to encircle and destroy it. In the battle in point, the German camp and its surroundings were not adequate for hiding troops without being observed by the Swabians, so the Hungarian commander chose an adequate place away from the battlefield (the first battlefield), where he could hide some of his units (this being the second battlefield), and his main purpose during the battle was to lure the enemy to that place, which he succeeded after manoeuvres which lasted from the dawn until the evening, finally ending with success. This shows the great patience of the Hungarian commander, who in the whole day conducted manoeuvres which diverted the enemy's attention from his real purpose. The same thing happened also during the events which led to the Battle of the Brenta (899), this time against the Italians, a battle in which probably the Hungarians were led by the same commander.

The fact that the Hungarian troops which performed the tactic of the feigned retreat, luring the German cavalry at the second battlefield, could withstand, in the decisive moment, the charge of the Swabian heavy cavalry, shows that the Hungarians had also troops with adequate armor and weapons to resist a charge from the most formidable heavy cavalry of those times. Their success was also facilitated by the fact that they retreated in order, when the Swabians lost theirs. This shows also that the Hungarian commander chose attentively which branches to use in the precise moments of the battle, and that he was totally at charge of his troops from the beginning until the end of the battle.

From Liutprand's account ("the kings people") we can understand that the king was not among the pursuing German cavalry, so this is why he escaped. In this slaughter, because they could not break the Hungarian encirclement, probably no German cavalrymen survived, and presumably here was killed count Gozbert, the real commander of the army and Managolt, the count of Alemannia, who were leading the attack of the German cavalry.

At this point the king Louis the Child had to be among the infantry, which marched after the German cavalry from far behind, thinking that they won the battle, but when he arrived to the new battle scene, he saw that his bravest soldiers were slaughtered by the Hungarians, shortly before. From Liutprand of Cremona's account we can understand very well that he was not part of the slaughter of the cavalry, and he saw only the result of it a little later. He narrates his astonishment, despair at that moment, and the fact that he was totally fooled and misled by their clever tactics.

The remaining German infantry troops started to run away in despair, trying to save their lives. Probably the bodyguard unit of the king, which was mounted, managed to save him, and take him away quickly from the battlefield, while the Hungarians were busy of slaughtering the running German infantry, which suffered very heavy losses, caused by the Hungarian horsemen, who because these were the rules of nomadic warfare (eliminate the beaten enemy and his commanders completely ), pursued them all the way, killing every one in their reach.

Aftermath

The king escaped, entering the nearest town with walls (probably Augsburg), but the Germans lost almost their entire army. The Hungarian losses were so light, that after just 10 days, on 22 June, they managed to annihilate, in the Battle of Rednitz, the other German army, the Frankish-Lorrainian-Bavarian one, which before the battle of Augsburg was expected to unite with the main army led by the king Louis the Child, and to fight together against the Hungarians, killing also the commanders of that army, among them Gebhard, Duke of Lorraine. So, the Hungarian army, with a "Napoleonean" tactic (István Bóna), cleverly managed to attack and beat these two armies separately.  After these two battles the Hungarian army plundered and burned the German territories while nobody tried to fight them off again, retreating to the walled towns and castles, and waiting for them to turn back to Hungary. On their way back home, the Hungarians plundered the surroundings of Regensburg, burned Altaich and Osterhofen. Only the Bavarians managed to beat a minor plundering Hungarian unit at Neuching, but this did not change the fact: the annihilation of much of Germany's military power and capability to withstand the Hungarian attacks. This is demonstrated by the fact that after these defeats, Louis IV the Child, the German king, together with the Swabian, Frankish, Bavarian and Saxonian princes, agreed to pay tribute to the Hungarians.

However, Louis the Child didn't survive for long these battles, dying in 911, maybe caused by the trauma and humiliation of these defeats. His successor as German king, Conrad I of Germany (911–918), refused to pay any tribute to the Hungarians (however, the dukes of Bavaria and Swabia paid from 917 tribute to the Magyars, who helped their fight against the German kings ), and this caused frequent attacks on Germany made by the Hungarian nomadic armies (911, 913, 915, 917, 919, 924), which caused many defeats (Eresburg in 915, Püchen in 919), destruction (the burning of Bremen in 915, Basel in 917) and plunderings, and just a few successes (particularly in 913), which finally forced king Henry the Fowler in 924 to again start to pay tribute to the Hungarians, until 933, the Battle of Riade which ended the long (26 years) period of Hungarian military superiority and domination in Germany. However, the Hungarian raids in Germany continued until 955, their defeat in the second Battle of Lechfeld.

title: Morris Venezia

text:
Maurice Venezia (25 February 1921 – 2 September 2013), later Morris Venezia, was an Italian-Greek Jewish survivor of the Auschwitz concentration camp. A member of the special squads, Sonderkommando, he was one of the few remaining eyewitnesses to the gas chambers at the time of his death.

He was the brother of Shlomo Venezia. After the end of World War II, he lived in California.

Biography
Venezia was descended from Sephardi Jews who were expelled from Spain in 1492 (with the Alhambra Decree) and traveled throughout Europe before settling in Greek Macedonia, under the Ottoman Empire. While residing in the Republic of Venice, the Venezia family acquired the last name Venezia (Venice) and Italian citizenship.

In Thessaloniki Morris's family - with scarce economic means - was part of the community of Italian Jews; the children attended the Italian school in Thessaloniki (a school aligned to the Italian prevailing Fascist doctrine). His father, Isacco Venezia, a barber, had left as a young man to join the Italian armed forces as a volunteer during World War I. Thanks to this, when his father died, Morris could go  and study in Italy for free, at a high school (Istituto tecnico) in Milan, through the intervention of the Italian Consulate in Thessaloniki; Morris's family (his mother Doudoun (Angel), his younger brother Shlomo, and younger sisters Rachel, Marika and Martha) could live in Thessaloniki with the support of their relatives.

When the Racial Laws against the Jews were introduced in 1938, Morris was expelled from Italy, without finishing his studies, and returned to Greece. In 1940, after the Italian declaration of war, the subsequent invasion of Greece and the bombardment of Thessaloniki (November 3, 1940), by the Italian armed forces, the Greek police began arresting people of Italian nationality. Many Italians were captured, including Maurice, and imprisoned in a building in the center of the city; afterwards, they were transferred around Athens and were released on arrival of the Italian Army.

When the German troops arrived and occupied Northern Greece, the Italian Consulate in Thessaloniki organized a voluntary transfer of the Italians either to Sicily or to Athens. The Morris family remained in Athens as refugees. This was to prove a dire choice.

After 8 September 1943, as Italy signed an armistice with the Allies, Athens came under full German power.

Morris and Shlomo joined the Greek partisans, while remaining in Athens. As the months passed, the control of the Nazis on the Greek Jews became more and more pressing, with deportations and with the introduction of a weekly sign-in obligation at the Jewish Community: in March 1944, as they were signing, they were arrested and detained in an Athens prison (Haidari).  Shortly after, they were deported to Auschwitz concentration camp.

Sonderkommando
The brothers Maurice and Shlomo, with their cousins Dario and Jakob Gabbai and their families, arrived in Auschwitz on 11 April 1944.

Maurice and Shlomo were chosen by the SS to enter the Sonderkommando, because they had declared to be barbers and were young and vigorous; they were assigned to different buildings, and subsequently worked together in the camp.

In the Sonderkommando units, the Jews were forced to work in the gas chambers and the crematories of the camp. Not only they had to move the bodies from the gas chambers to the crematories, but they also had the horrible duty of undressing, shaving, and searching the dead bodies for gold teeth and hidden riches, thereafter spoliating them of what they were to find and amassing it for the nazis. They had to do it by sorting the dead and piling them out in the open. This was to be done because even hair was considered by the Nazis re-usable goods, not to mention eyeglasses or artificial limbs and clothing.

Morris features throughout "Auschwitz - The Final Witness", a 2001 NY Festival winning film made by Sky for Channel 5, which reunited him with his two Sonderkommando cousins as they revisited the death camp together for the first time in over 50 years.

He died in September 2013 in Palm Springs, California, at the age of 92.

title: Brooklyn (cocktail)

text:
The Brooklyn is one of five cocktails named for the boroughs of New York City, along with the Bronx, the Manhattan, the Queens and the Staten Island Ferry.  It resembles a Manhattan, but with a specific type of bitters (several types of bitters can be used in a Manhattan) and the addition of Maraschino liqueur.  It largely fell into obscurity after the end of Prohibition, but experienced a resurgence in the 1990s.

The Brooklyn was originally invented by actor and playwright Maurice Hegeman in 1910 at the Schmidt Cafe near the Brooklyn side of the Brooklyn Bridge; although in a different version than what is now considered the standard version of a Brooklyn. Hegeman's Brooklyn included a mix of hard cider, absinthe, and ginger ale.

title: Marco Ajmone-Marsan

text:
Marco Ajmone-Marsan (1859–1918 in Turin) was an Italian businessman.

Biography
He was born in Crosa, Kingdom of Sardinia, but moved at an early age to Turin, where he started his business at age 18 opening a small shirts warehouse. Later, his company – specialized in the production of handkerchiefs – grew rapidly, counting more than 200 weaving looms. His business activity was successful to such a great extent that it was even able to beat the competition of British manufacturing enterprises in a quite short time.

He married Maria Aimone, by whom he had three children: Riccardo, Alessandro and Annibale. All three were Juventus players in the early 20th century.

In 1904 he revived the finances of the football club Juventus, making it also possible to transfer the training field from Piazza d'Armi to the more appropriate Velodrome Umberto I.

Marco Ajmone-Marsan was awarded the title of Knight of Labour on 9 January 1916.

title: Antonello Petrucci

text:
Antonello Petrucci, also known as Antonello d'Aversa (born in Teano – died in Naples, 1487) was a Baron and secretary to King Ferdinand I of Naples  (Don Ferrante of Naples).

Biography
Petrucci was born to a humble family, and rose first as an assistant to Giovanni Ammirato di Aversa, to become skillful in jurisprudence and negotiations. He was hired by the chancellery of Alfonso V of Aragon in the 1450s. He was appointed as a Baron by King Fernando I of Naples. Petruccio was used as a negotiator with the rebellious barons, and had become somewhat close to some of them. However, the rebellion encompassed by the Conspiracy of the Barons, known in Italian as the Congiura die Baroni|Congiura die Baroni, he met his downfall.

On 13 August 1486, while celebrating at Castel Nuovo the marriage of Maria Piccolomini (niece of Don Ferrante) and Marco Coppola, son of a rich baronial merchant, the king entered the great hall with his soldiers and arrested both Petrucci and Coppola and their sons, and others for being part of the conspiracy.

Contemporary sources state that on 13 November 1486, at Castelnuovo a sentence of condemnation was issued against Antonello's sons, Francesco de' Petrucci, Count of Carinola and Giovanni Antonio de' Petrucci, Count of Policastro, as well as against Francesco Coppola, Count of Sarno; condemning them to decapitation, loss of all their honors and dignities, and the confiscation of all their possessions. On 11 December, Francesco was placed in a small cart, with a cord round his neck and chained; he was conducted past all the noble sediles (districts) in the town, until he reached the great Piazza del Mercato, where a high scaffold had been erected, and the executioner decapitated him and quartered him: the quarter of the head was exposed upon a stake with iron prongs by the custom-house at Casa Nuova, the second by the custom-house at Sant'Antonio, the third by the bridge and the house of Angelo Covio, and the fourth by a chapel. The same day, his brother Giovan Antonio, underwent the same punishment without quartering. On 11 May 1487, a tall scaffold was erected from the ramparts, visible to the public, and Antonello and Francesco Coppola were decapitated. Dominican friars came and carried away the corpse of Antonello to his family chapel, and Augustinian monks conveyed the body of Coppola together with his head, to his chapel in their church. There were sixteen monks with twelve torches who thus bore away the corpses."

Legacy
The events of 1486 led in the short term to a reassertion of the regal Aragonese power over the aristocracy in Naples. It is noticeable that both Coppola and Petrucci were newcomers to the aristocracy, gaining their titles through service and not through ancestral landholdings; this, and their residence in Naples, made them more susceptible and easy targets for the king to acquire their riches. Much controversy followed because some pointed out the king had agreed to a general pardon for those in rebellion, when the arrests were made, and that he had set up the wedding as a trap for the families.

The events bear some semblance to the events depicted in the Red Wedding scene of the George R. R. Martin's novel A Storm of Swords.

title: Ostrovica Castle

text:
The Ostrovica Castle (, , Ottoman Turkish: Ostroviçe kalesi) is a large medieval structure situated above the small village of Ostrovica near Kulen Vakuf, Bihać municipality, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Having been built on a heavily wooded ridge of a steep hill overlooking left bank of the shallow Una river, the castle was located on a strategic site connecting the northern and southern parts of the long Una valley.

The modern-day castle was most probably built during the 15th century on the foundations of ancient fortification which dates back to ancient Roman times or even earlier. In the Middle Ages, Ostrovica belonged to the Kingdom of Croatia and its Lapac County.

The first mention of the castle was in a charter from 1407, in which King Ladislaus of Naples, confirmed possession over Ostrovica to a Bosnian magnate and Grand Duke, Sandalj Hranić, who most likely rebuilt the fortress at the beginning of 15th century on a foundations of an ancient fortification, which dates back to ancient Roman times or even earlier. In 1523 it was conquered by the Ottomans.

History
The first mention of the castle was in a charter from 1407, in which King Ladislaus of Naples, confirmed possession over Ostrovica and Skradin to a Bosnian magnate and Grand Duke, Sandalj Hranić, who received it as a dowry for his second marriage, this time to a niece of Hrvoje Vukčić Hrvatinić, daughter of Vuk Vukčić Hrvatinić, Katarina Vuković in May 1405. When Ladislaus started giving up of his reign over Dalmatia between 1409 and 1410 and selling possessions there to Venice, Sandalj, following in Ladislaus footsteps, sold both Skradin and Ostrovica also to Venice for 5000 ducats in 1409/1410. He also divorced Katarina in 1411. Most likely it was Sandalj who rebuilt the fortress at the beginning of 15th century on the foundations of ancient fortification which dates back to ancient Roman times or even earlier.

Later in the 15th century the castle was possessed by the Kurjaković family, (later renamed Karlović), known as Princes of Krbava (), who came out from one of chieftain cadet branches of the old Croatian tribe of Gusić. After them, proprietors of the castle were also Juraj Mikulčić (who died in 1495), Ivan Keglević, and members of House of Frankopan, among others.

The Ottoman threatened Ostrovica since the fall of the medieval Kingdom of Bosnia in 1463. Still, it resisted until December 1523, when the castle and surrounding area came under Ottoman control.

The long period of Ottoman rule lasted until 1878. In that period the castle was enlarged and reinforced, serving as an Ottoman military stronghold. Military units situated there were commanded first by dizdar (16th and 17th century) and then (from the beginning of the 18th century) by a captain. A significant enlargement of the castle occurred during the reign of sultan Ahmed I at the beginning of the 17th century. The present-day look of the castle was finally given at the beginning of the 18th century. It measures 117 meters long and 83 meters wide. The main entrance is situated on the south side, while the auxiliary one is put at the north side of the fortification. During the Ottoman period Ostrovica was the seat of Kapetanija Stara Ostrovica (Old Ostrovica captaincy), also comprising smaller strongholds like Orašac, Havala, Džisri-kebir (modern-day Kulen Vakuf), Čovka and Donji Lapac. Long-term captains were members of the Kulenović noble family (titled begs), one of the most prominent families in Ottoman Bosnia.

After Donji Lapac had been returned to Croatian control (being within Habsburg monarchy), the Ottomans moved the seat of captaincy away from the nearby Croatian-Bosnian frontier to Prkose, a stronghold in the same-named village, situated northeast of Ostrovica. In 1737, the fortress was unsuccessfully besieged by the army of the Habsburg Empire during the Austro-Russian–Turkish War (1735–39).  Other sieges are recorded in 1560, 1698, 1737, 1789, and 1834.

Finally, it was abandoned in 1878 after Austria-Hungary took control over Bosnia and Herzegovina territory from the Ottomans. Despite Croat demands, Ostrovica was not returned to the Croatian Kingdom, of which it had been part before the arrival of the Ottomans. Moreover, the whole territory of Turkish Croatia, including Ostrovica, Bihać, Banja Luka and so on, was given to direct Habsburg imperial control, as a part of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Protection of cultural-historical heritage
It is known that in 1838 castle was still in good shape, as it was kept in that way with regular repairs, notably in 1766, 1777 and 1791. As it was abandoned in 1878, Ostrovica was gradually ruined. Today the castle is protected as National Monument of Bosnia and Herzegovina by the government and its Commission to preserve national monuments of Bosnia and Herzegovina'',
and with its surroundings is part of Una National Park. The castle is occasionally renovated in the recent years in order to be more attractive to tourists.

title: Studio des Ursulines

text:
The Studio des Ursulines is a cinema in the 5th arrondissement of Paris, at No.10, Rue des Ursulines. It is one of the oldest cinemas in Paris to have kept its facade and founder's vision: to offer a venue for art and experimental cinema. Gilles Renouard of Paris Cinéphile describes it as 'an astonishing experience' for its nostalgic associations and being able to be within 3 metres of the screen if you sit in the balcony. It has 1 screen.

History

Founding
In 1925, actors Armand Tallier and Laurence Myrga choose the small rue des Ursulines to establish a cinema to specialize in avant-garde films and catered to art house audiences. Thus, the first avant-garde cinema in France was born, a precursor to the now established system of "Art et Essai."

The cinema opened January 21, 1926. Films by André Breton, Man Ray, Fernand Léger, René Clair and Robert Desnos were shown.

Premieres
Between January 1926 and December 1957, a wide range of now-classic films premiered at the theater, such as René Clair's Le Voyage Imaginaire, Von Stroheim’s Greed, Von Sternberg’s The Blue Angel, Roberto Rossellini’s’ Amore and Howard Hawks A Girl in Every Port. In 1958 it showed work by Satyajit Ray, Andrzej Wajda, Ingmar Bergman and Luis Buñuel.

It is one of two cinemas in central Paris whose facades have not been significantly altered.

The scandal of 1928
In 1928, it premiered the first film of Germaine Dulac, taken from a story by Antonin Artaud, The Seashell and the Clergyman. The film was heckled by the surrealists André Breton and Louis Aragon, leading to a fight that stopped the screening. Tallier did not call the police and the film screened a few weeks later. Tallier became associated in the 1950s with the creation of the Art et Essai, movement with the birth of l’AFCAE (Association Française des Cinémas d’Art & d’Essai) in 1955.

Twenty-first century
Since March 2003, the majority of the cinema's daytime programming is aimed at the 'Art & Essai’ public, especially younger audiences. In the evening animation and cinéclub (film club) screenings dominate.

In film
 One of the last scenes of François Truffaut’s Jules et Jim takes place at the Studio des Ursulines, where the three main characters meet by chance.
 The end of the film Chantrapas and a scene in Après mai were shot there.
