title: Namibian Marine Corps

text:
The Namibian Marines Corps is the Naval Infantry of Namibia and is part of the Namibian Navy and the Namibian Defence Force.

History
The Marine Corps are a recent addition to the Namibian Defence Force due to the gradual establishment of the Namibian Navy. The first Marines were trained in Brazil in 2005. The Marine Commandant is subordinate to the Commander of the Namibian Navy. The current Marine Corps Commandant is Captain Olavi Shipunda.

Training
Aspirant Marines are trained in Namibia by a combination of Namibian instructors and the Brazilian Military Advisory Team (BRAZMATT) based in Walvis Bay at the Naval Training School. The first course to complete before induction as a marine is the Marines Soldier Formation Course which lasts for five months, after completion induction into the marine corps takes place and the marine is promoted to the rank of able seaman. Marines specializing in infantry are required to complete a six-month infantry specialization course. The Marine Amphibious Commandos Special Operations Course is the toughest course in the corps and has a one-in-two failure rate; its courses last a year.

Force Structure
During the corps' infancy, the Navy Chief of Naval Support indicated that the short-term goal was to have a force consisting of a Marine Corps Infantry Company, Service Support Company, Provost Company, and Brass Band. However due to operation requirements, a Marine Battalion with its own organic rapid Reaction, Operational Boats Unit, and Operational Diving Team are envisioned.

Rapid Reaction Force
Marine Corps Infantry Battalion
Service Support Company
Provost Company
Brass Band
Amphibious Special Operations Unit
Operational Boats Unit
Operational Diving Team

Rapid Reaction Force

A Light infantry unit responsible for protection of static, forward and naval bases.

Marine Corps Infantry Battalion
The Marine Corps Infantry Battalion is the unit responsible for undertaking armed marine operations. A full marine battalion has been raised initially from a single company.

Service Support Company
Service support company provides direct and indirect sustainment services to the Marine Battalion as it conducts operations.
Support service offered by the sub-unit includes but not limited to:
Quartermaster
Finance
Medical
Transportation

Provost Company
The provost company is responsible for the policing of Navy service personnel.

Brass Band
The band performs musical duties for military functions and any other apolitical functions for the general public. The band emulates the United States Marine Drum and Bugle Corps and the 5 bands of the Royal Marines Band Service. The Brass Band performs at many important events every year, and is considered an integral part of state funerals, state arrival ceremonies, state dinners, parades, and other social events. Although it is a band in the Namibian Navy, it is a separate unit from the navy's flagship ensemble, the Namibian Navy Band.

Amphibious Commandos Unit
Provides amphibious special operations capability to the Navy.

Operational Boat Unit
Conducts small boat patrols particularly in the riverine areas of the Zambezi Region's Zambezi River and Chobe River.

Operational Diving Unit
It is a clearance diving unit that specializes in the disposal of hazardous materials. Its role varies depending on the situation, with duties ranging from counter-terrorism to explosive ordnance disposal.

Deployments
Marines Corps infantry are deployed on Namibian Navy vessels and shore installations.

Marine Corps equipment

Ranks and insignia
Marine Corps ranks are based on Commonwealth Navy ranks.

The highest peacetime rank a commissioned officer can attain in the Marine Corps is Captain. Career progression in the force for Marine officers is possible well beyond the rank of Navy Captain. A Marine officer can be posted outside the Marine unit and progress up the ranks to the singular appointment of Chief of Defence Force. The highest rank an enlisted member can attain is Warrant Officer Class 1, but the highest appointment they can hold is the Namibian Defence Force Sergeant Major.

title: Raja Wodeyar I

text:
Raja Wodeyar I (2 June 1552 – 20 June 1617) was ninth maharaja of the Kingdom of Mysore. He was eldest son of Chamaraja Wodeyar IV, the seventh maharaja of Mysore. He ruled from 1578, after his cousin Chamaraja Wodeyar V's death, until his death in 1617.

Expelling Vijayanagara envoys
Raja Wodeyar I furthered his father's expelling the Vijayanagara ambassadors and envoys. During Sriranga II, who himself faced riots from within his family, Raja Wodeyar removed all Vijayanagara emissaries from the Kingdom, except one in Srirangapattana. Although the kingdom declared independence from Vijayanagara and removed its representatives, Mysore Kingdom continued to recognise the empire and the emperor.

Mysore Dasara
His procession from the Palace to the Banni tree in present-day Bannimantap came to be famous after each Mysore king, which, today, has taken the form of the world-famous Mysore Dasara.

Raja Wadiyar is credited with starting the famous Mysore Dasara in 1610 to commemorate the kingdom's independence from the Vijayanagara Empire by offering prayers to the Banni tree, about two miles away from Puragiri–the location of present-day Mysore Palace. His only surviving son, Narasaraja Wadiyar, died just a day before the commencement of Navaratri, but the king, after consulting experts, decreed that the celebration of the ceremonies was not to be interrupted even by the death of members of the royal family.

Raja Wadiyar was a devoted Vaishnavaite, and he donated the famous bejewelled crown to Lord Cheluvarayaswami Temple at Melukote; it is a feature of the Raja Mudi carnival even today. This contribution is contrary to his own lineage, for the Wadiyars regarded the temple of Karigiri Lakshmi Narasimha (at Devarayanadurga in Tumkur) as their household deity. The mere fact that all the Wadiyars end their names by Narasimharaja Wadiyar stands testimony to this. During the Emergency of 1975, this crown was confiscated from the royal family by the Government of Karnataka. Legend has it that Raja Wadiyar, having entered the garbhagruha (sanctum sanctorum) of the Cheluvarayaswami Temple on 20 June 1617, became one with the deity (aikya; passed away). An idol (bhakthi vigraha) of the king may be found inside the temple and another in the Lakshminarayanaswami Temple inside the Mysore Palace Fort.

title: The Angel Inn

text:
The Angel Inn is a public house in Andover, Hampshire. Constructed in the mid-15th century, it is one of England's oldest surviving inns, and the oldest and most complete example in Hampshire. It is a Grade II* listed building, of "more than special interest nationally." Despite alterations in the 16th, 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, the medieval timber frame, features and decorative details remain "remarkably intact." Archaeological and documentary evidence suggest that it was built on the site of a previous inn—the College Inn—which was destroyed in the Great Fire of Andover in 1434.

Originally constructed of four wings enclosing a central courtyard, with an archway giving access from the street—typical of late medieval inns—the pub now retains the north and east wings. The west wing is no longer extant, while the surviving section of the south wing—which was divided from the inn for other commercial uses in the 18th century—is now also Grade II* listed (under the designation "89, 91 & 93 High Street, Andover.") The main bar room is situated in the ground floor of the north wing, which housed stables during the medieval period. The 'front bar' occupies the ground floor room—originally a high status guest chamber—at the eastern end of the north wing, looking onto the High Street. During the early 19th century, the front bar also served as the town's magistrates' court and guildhall.

In the 1960s, Andover became an overspill town for London, resulting in redevelopment of the town centre and the construction of a large shopping centre. The Angel Inn—along with other late medieval parts of the town—was initially earmarked for demolition in 1965 as part of the redevelopment, but was saved following a campaign by members of the public.

The Angel Inn is Cask Marque accredited and listed by CAMRA—the Campaign for Real Ale—as one of the best cask ale pubs in the UK.

History

Earliest inns in Andover
Built between 1444–1455, The Angel Inn is the oldest surviving inn—and the oldest surviving building—in Andover. Local tradition claims that the site has housed an inn or tavern since at least 1174, and that a part of the fabric of the current building dates from this time. Although there is no documentary evidence for a 12th-century inn, stone "robbed" from the nearby 12th century priory has been found re-used in a Tudor dwelling on the High Street. H.W. Earney, in his Inns of Andover (1971), notes: "Saxon Andover consisted of two main thoroughfares—the Harrow Way to London, and the road from Southampton to Newbury. These two roads once crossed in front of the Angel Inn, so that it is likely, when the first Andover inn was built, that this was the most convenient spot for it to be sited." Edward Roberts also states that such a "prime urban site" would have been a likely location for medieval hostelries. Certainly, beer was being retailed in Andover by 1317, as an entry in the Guild Rolls for that year records a decree that beer should be sold in the town for the price of 1½ d. per barrel.

The College Inn
Formerly an alien priory under the control of the Abbey of Saint-Florent de Saumur in Anjou, France—to whom it had been gifted by William I in 1087 and William II in 1100—Andover Priory and its possessions were appropriated by royal charter to St. Mary's College, Winchester (now known as Winchester College) on 10 December 1414. Andover was a well-established market town, central to the thriving local wool and cloth industry, and situated at the crossing of several important trade routes as well as the Harrow Way, a prehistoric trackway still in use during the medieval period as a pilgrims' route to London and Canterbury. In importance, it was surpassed in Hampshire only by Winchester and Southampton, and its status ranked equally with Basingstoke and Portsmouth. Renting out an inn—which in the late medieval period served not only as a hostel for travellers but also as an important local hub for trading products such as fish, beer, wine and cloth—at such a location would have been a profitable investment for the college.

Thomas Kirby, the bursar of Winchester College and Hampshire secretary of the Society of Antiquaries, wrote in his Annals of Winchester College from its Foundation in 1382 to the Present Time (1892) that the site upon which The Angel Inn was built had previously been occupied by the College Inn, which was completely destroyed during the Great Fire of Andover in 1434. Although the College Inn belonged to St. Mary's College at Winchester, Kirby does not record whether it was built by the College post-1414 or was instead an even earlier inn obtained when the priory was appropriated. The college is known to have built at least one other inn, in 1418—also called The Angel—on the main market street of New Alresford, Hampshire. Archaeological surveys in the late-20th century exposed evidence of burning on the surface of the chalk situated beneath the south wing of the inn which may have been deposited by the destruction of the College Inn.

The Angel Inn

The fire of 1434 is believed to have started in a butcher's shop at White Bear Yard on the High Street in the upper part of the town. John Hare writes that the area destroyed included the High Street, the adjacent vicarage, property "on Soper's Lane", and probably extended beyond the upper town, causing "a serious impact on the town at large." The economic impact was such that in 1435 and 1437, Andover was exempted from the "fifteenth and tenth" annual taxation, and paid only half of the tax in 1439 and 1444, reductions which suggest "that there was a justifiable grievance and not just the common complaints of urban poverty." The loss of rent and tithes from its destroyed properties—and the opportunity to purchase now vacant land on which to build—led St. Mary's College to invest heavily in the redevelopment of the affected part of the town.

On 4 March 1445, Robert Thurbern, the Warden of St. Mary's College, contracted two carpenters—John Hardyng and Richard Holnest—to build a timber-framed inn on the site:

The plans were originally drawn up by Hardyng, but subsequently modified by Robert Whetely, warden of carpenters to Henry VI at Eton College, Windsor. The building contract, the detailed Winchester College muniments relating to its construction, and the survival of a "significant proportion" of the structure of the original inn provide what Edward Roberts describes as "a rare combination" of evidence that makes The Angel Inn "arguably one of the most significant timber-framed buildings in Hampshire."

Construction at the site had commenced before the contract was sealed: surviving documents record that by September 1444, timber was being carted from woodland near Kingsclere, followed by the digging of a well on the site and the laying of foundations made from beer stone quarried in Devon. Simultaneously, the college was building 3 new houses adjacent to the inn. As work began in earnest, 60 oaks were felled for timber at Chute, Wiltshire, 17,000 roof tiles were carted in from Mottisfont, windows were fashioned from Caen stone carted from Botley, and 20,000 bricks—probably used for the nogging of the inn's façade—were purchased from Daniel Brykeman. Two stonemasons—Thomas Beere and John Cotyn—were engaged to build the chimney stacks and fireplaces, and to line the cellars and latrine pits. One of the final acts was the painting of the inn's sign, which was made by John Massyngham at Winchester in 1452.

The completed structure consisted of 4 wings, with galleries on the upper floors of the north and south wings, enclosing a courtyard. The east wing presented the main façade and contained a gated archway,  wide, giving access to the yard from the High Street. In the original plans, the archway was to be placed at the southern end of the east wing, but was instead built at the northern end. Roberts writes: "While this could be attributed to medieval indifference or uncertainty with regard to such niceties, a more plausible explanation is the desire to site the main entrance to the inn at the junction of the High Street and the main London road." A similar archway was also built in the opposite west wing.

Innkeepers

Between 1456–1508, The Angel Inn had five innkeepers:
Robert Cusse (1456–61)
Thomas Fewer (1462–67)
John Waterman (1467–93)
Thomas Love (1493–96)
Edward Chamber (1496–1508)

Between 1523–24, the innkeeper is known to have been John Williams, and between 1524–25, it was kept by his widow, Emma Williams. John Hare's study of the fifteenth-century personalities of Andover indicates that, as was the case in other parts of the country, the innkeepers were already "men of substance", from established families within the town, and probably prominent members of the gild merchant, or merchant's guild. John Waterman's older brother—also named John—appears to have been the innkeeper, with his wife Agnes, of Andover's other inn, Le Belle. The Waterman family were members of the gild merchant, as was John Jr.'s wife Isabella's family, the Lekes. When John Jr. retired as innkeeper in 1493, he drew up a will which included bequests of "acres of barley", demonstrating both his landholding and his involvement in the brewing of beer.

The gild merchant was also responsible for electing the town's bailiff and 24 town councillors, or "forwardmen". The Waterman brothers both served as forwardmen. Prior to becoming innkeeper of The Angel Inn, Edward Chamber had been the innkeeper of Le Belle and had also served as bailiff.

In the 17th century, The Angel Inn was kept by Richard and Marie Pope, the great-grandparents of English poet Alexander Pope (1688–1744). Alexander's father, Alexander Pope Sr. (1646–1717), was born in the inn. In 1642, Marie Pope was fined 20d by the town's magistrates for "not selling the best beere for one pennye." She was one of 28 inn- and tavern-keepers who fell foul of Andover's official Ale Taster that year, as he carried out his duty—laid down in the town's Great Charter of 1599—to visit all licensed houses and taste the beer to ensure that it was "fit and meet for men's bodyes" and being sold at the correct price.

Henry Thornton's touring ensemble
Between 1787–1800, one of the wings of the inn was leased by Henry Thornton (1750–1818), a Georgian actor and theatre promoter, as a playhouse, staging up to 60 performances per year. Thornton had established a circuit of venues at coaching stops, each approximately 30 miles distant from each other—"a convenient length for a journey by coach on a winter's day." Paul Ranger describes these makeshift theatres as "comfortless", with boxes constructed from bales of hay and wagons "slung from the rafters" as galleries. Thornton's permanent company  was made up of a core of family members—his wife and her brother and sisters, his two sons and two sons-in-law—but was also regularly augmented by London-based performers employed for short seasons ranging from a few days to several months. One of these was the Anglo-Irish actress Dorothea Jordan (1761–1816), who became the mistress and companion of the future King William IV.

Thornton was "a man with flair but with no eye for detail [and] little patience with learning lines, a habit which spread to members of his company." James Winston, in his The Theatric Tourist (1805), relates how, just before one performance at Andover, Thornton noticed someone in the audience holding a copy of that evening's play. Winston writes: "With such a potent evidence of their incorrectness, it was impossible to proceed..." Thornton announced that the performance was cancelled, owing to the troupe's prompt-book "having been unfortunately mislaid." The audience member offered his copy as a replacement and, "with a sigh of relief", Thornton began the performance.

Royal guests
King John (r.1199–1216) reportedly visited an inn on the site in 1201. John maintained a residence at nearby Ludgershall Castle and was known to visit "to take advantage of the nearby hunting forests."
Edward I (r.1272–1307) reportedly stayed at an inn on the site in February 1291.
Edward II (r.1307–1327) reportedly stayed at an inn on the site in February 1317.
Henry VII (r.1485–1509) stayed at The Angel Inn in 1497 when returning to London from Taunton after the suppression of the Second Cornish Uprising.
Catherine of Aragon, then aged 15, stayed at The Angel Inn on 3–4 November 1501, escorted by Robert Willoughby, 1st Baron Willoughby de Broke, the Lord Steward to the court of Henry VII.
James II (r.1685–1688) stayed at The Angel Inn on 25 November 1688, where he dined with Prince George of Denmark and James Butler, 2nd Duke of Ormonde, following his retreat from Salisbury during the Glorious Revolution. Having failed to persuade James over dinner that his cause was lost, the prince and the duke abandoned him under cover of darkness and defected to the side of William of Orange.

text:
Chamaraja Wodeyar VI (21 April 1603 – 2 May 1637) was the tenth maharaja of the Kingdom of Mysore from 1617 after his grandfather Raja Wodeyar I's death that year until his death in 1637.

Collapse of the Vijayanagara Empire
During the 20-year reign of Chamaraja Wodeyar VI, the Vijayanagara Empire collapsed drastically, major portions of which were annexed by the Bahamani and Deccan Sultanates. During this period, Chamaraja Wodeyar's kingdom expanded quickly. By the end of his life—and incidentally his reign—he had nearly doubled the kingdom's border. He died in summer on 2 May 1637. His paternal uncle, Raja Wodeyar II, took over after his death.

title: Pasteuria

text:
Pasteuria is a genus of mycelial and endospore-forming, nonmotile gram-positive bacteria that are obligate parasites of some nematodes and crustaceans.  The genus of Pasteuria was previously classified within the family Alicyclobacillaceae, but has since been moved to the family Pasteuriaceae.

Steps of infection
Animals that are susceptible to Pasteuria become infected when they are exposed to spores in soil or water. Therefore, Pasteuria are transmitted horizontally between hosts and when an infected host dies, it releases spores to the soil or sediment. The likelihood of infections is related to the spore density in the environment and can be affected by temperature. After contact with the host, Pasteuria spores are activated, attach to their host, penetrate the host's cuticle, proliferate within the host, and kill the host. In water fleas, the ability of the spore to successfully attach during the infection process is related to the genotype of the host and the parasite. Spore cells that do not infect animals and pass through a resistant host can still remain viable and infectious.

Effects of parasite
Following infection with Pasteuria, the parasite interferes with the reproduction of their female hosts. Hosts can live with the parasite for a prolonged period of time after infection. In Daphnia, P. ramosa induces gigantism. P. penetrans parasitized females of the nematode Meloidogyne javanica, on the other hand, were smaller than healthy individuals.

Potential as biocontrol
Due to the effect of Pasteuria on reproduction, especially on nematode pests of important crops, there is an interest to develop Pasteuria as a biological control agent. In 2012, Syngenta acquired a company named Pateuria Bioscience to commercialize Pasteuria as a biological control. In 2013, Syngenta launched CLARIVA™ pn, which has the active ingredient of Pasteuria nishizawae to combat the soybean cyst nematode. The effectiveness of Pasteuria as a biocontrol may depend on the biotypes of the nematode host that are present since they can vary in their susceptibility to Pasteuria.

Species of Pasteuria and their hosts
Currently, four species of Pasteuria and two candidate species are described, all of which are obligate parasites with specific hosts. The described species and their hosts include:
 P. nishizawae Sayre et al. 1992: parasite of cyst-forming nematodes in the genera Heterodera and Globodera.
 P. penetrans Thorne 1940 ex Sayre & Starr 1986: parasite of root knot nematodes in the genus Meloidogyne spp.
 P. ramosa Metchnikoff 1888: parasite of Cladocerans, including Daphnia.
 P. thornei Starr & Sayre 1988: parasite of root-lesion nematodes in the genus Pratylenchus.

Candidate species and their hosts include:
 P. aldrichii Giblin-Davis et al. 2011: parasite of bacterivorous nematodes in the genus Bursilla spp.
 P. usage Giblin-Davis et al. 2003: parasite of the sting nematode, Belonolaimus longicaudatus

Additional species of Pasteuria have been named but are yet to be formally described, including:
 "P. hartismeri" Atibalentja et al. 2002b
 "P. goettingianae" Bishop et al. 2007.

He was president of the Pontifical Ecclesiastical Academy from 1998 to 2000. Zur was named Nuncio to Russia on 29 January 2000. In the Russian Federation, Zur worked to improve relations with Patriarch Alexei II of Moscow, but his repeated protests against the Russian Government's expulsion of a Catholic bishop and several priests soon made his position untenable.

title: Basic theorems in algebraic K-theory

text:
In mathematics, there are several theorems basic to algebraic K-theory.

Throughout, for simplicity, we assume when an exact category is a subcategory of another exact category, we mean it is strictly full subcategory (i.e., isomorphism-closed.)

Theorems

The localization theorem generalizes the localization theorem for abelian categories.

Let  be exact categories. Then C is said to be cofinal in D if (i) it is closed under extension in D and if (ii) for each object M in D there is an N in D such that  is in C. The prototypical example is when C is the category of free modules and D is the category of projective modules.

title: Euro-Sportring

text:
Euro-Sportring is a foundation that organises international sports tournaments, particularly for youth teams. The objective of the foundation is to promote international contacts between sports clubs and similar organisations through the medium of sport, in order to make a contribution to a better understanding between sportsmen of different nationalities and thereby to a united Europe.

Tournaments
The programme comprises football and handball tournaments in 12 European countries. The tournaments are organised by local partners, mostly sports clubs that are supported by their municipality and the local sports association.

Annually approximately 8,000 teams from over 30 countries take part in the tournaments. Registration for the tournaments is open to teams of amateur clubs and comparable organisations affiliated to an official governing sports body.

Organisation
The head office is located in Baarn, Netherlands. The daily management operates under the supervision of the foundation's board.

History
The history of Euro-Sportring goes back to 1951, when the first sports exchange between Haarlem, Netherlands and Saarbrücken, Germany took place. In 1960, Euro-Sportring was registered in Amsterdam as a non-profit foundation. Originally, the sports programmes were held in Germany, the Netherlands, Denmark and Austria. Over the years, other European countries were gradually incorporated to the programme.

Development tournament programme:
 1960s →    Austria  Denmark  Germany  Netherlands
 1970s →     England  France  Spain
 1980s →    Belgium  Italy
1990s →    Czech Republic  Croatia
 2000s →  Poland

title: Jekyll (software)

text:
Jekyll is a static site generator written in Ruby by Tom Preston-Werner. It is distributed under the open source MIT license.

History
Jekyll was first released by Tom Preston-Werner in 2008. Jekyll was later taken over by Parker Moore, an employee of GitHub who led the release of Jekyll 1.

Jekyll started a web development trend towards static websites.  Jekyll was ranked the most popular static site generator, largely due to its adoption by GitHub. The idea of the Jamstack formed around Jekyll and the other static site generators that it inspired.

GitHub chose to retain Jekyll version 3.x rather than upgrade to 4.0, released in 2019. In 2021, Jekyll developer Frank Taillandier said that the Jekyll codebase "is in frozen mode and permanent hiatus" and recommended users whose needs are not met by the frozen state of Jekyll move to Eleventy, another static site generator. Frank Taillandier died later in 2021.

Features
Jekyll renders Markdown or Textile and Liquid templates, and produces a complete, static website ready to be served by Apache HTTP Server, Nginx or another web server. Static site generators do not use databases to generate the pages dynamically. Instead Jekyll supports loading content from YAML, JSON, CSV, and TSV files into the Liquid templating system.  Jekyll is the engine behind GitHub Pages, a GitHub feature that allows users to host websites based on their GitHub repositories for no additional cost.

Jekyll can be used in combination with front-end frameworks such as Bootstrap. Jekyll sites can be connected to cloud-based CMS software such as CloudCannon, Forestry, or Siteleaf, enabling content editors to modify site content without having to know how to code.  Besides Jekyll has many themes, themes that are powerful, flexible, and feature-rich, each one stored with GitHub Pages and supported by any web project.

title: Tooth pathology

text:
Tooth pathology is any condition of the teeth that can be congenital or acquired. Sometimes a congenital tooth disease is called a tooth abnormality. These are among the most common diseases in humans The prevention, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of these diseases are the base to the dentistry profession, in which are dentists and dental hygienists, and its sub-specialties, such as oral medicine, oral and maxillofacial surgery, and endodontics. Tooth pathology is usually separated from other types of dental issues, including enamel hypoplasia and tooth wear.

Examples

Congenital
 Anodontia

Acquired
 Dental caries—Dental caries are known as cavities or tooth decay Bacteria in the mouth use foods that contain sugar or starch to produce acids which eat away at the tooth’s structure causing destruction to the enamel of the teeth. Meanwhile, the minerals in saliva (calcium and phosphate) together with fluoride are repairing the enamel.  Dental caries is a chronic disease that can be prevented and show strongly in 6- to 11-year-old children and 12- to 19-year-old adolescents.  9 out of 10 adults are affected with some type of tooth decay. Prevention includes good oral hygiene that consists of brushing twice daily, flossing, eating nutritious meals and limiting snacking, and visiting the dentist on a regular basis.  Fluoride treatments benefit the teeth by strengthening while sealants help chewing surfaces to not decay. Severe cases can lead to tooth extraction and dentures.
 Dental abscess—A dental abscess is a collection of pus that accumulates in teeth or gums as a result of bacterial infection, giving rise to a severe throbbing pain at the site of the abscess. It is caused by consuming sugary or starchy food and poor dental hygiene and is treated by a dentist by draining the pus and, possibly, removing the infected tooth/teeth altogether.

title: Quackodile Tears

text:
Quackodile Tears is a 1962 Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies cartoon directed by Art Davis, during his spare time while working at Hanna-Barbera. The short was released on March 31, 1962, and stars Daffy Duck.

Plot
Honeybunch is sitting on an egg in her nest and knitting. She tells Daffy it's his turn to sit, but he refuses until she kicks his butt. He moves the egg for a moment to fluff up the nest, but the egg rolls away down the hill and into another nest full of eggs. Unbeknownst to him, these are alligator eggs. Unable to tell the difference, Daffy picks an egg at random and brings it back to his nest. The mother alligator sees him take an egg and cries out, and the father alligator chases Daffy. They squabble about the egg back and forth for a while until Honeybunch returns.

At one point, Daffy uses a grenade painted white as a trap for the crocodile. Honeybunch mistakes it as Daffy throwing away their egg, so she strangles Daffy and forces him to sit on that "egg", ignoring Daffy's explanation that it is a grenade, not the real egg. It explodes, setting his tail on fire.

She makes him sit on the real egg until it hatches into a baby alligator. And when Daffy starts clobbering the alligator with a bat, she tells her husband it's just an ugly duckling which will grow into a beautiful swan. Meanwhile, Mrs. Alligator tells her husband something similar, since both families had swapped eggs.

However, Mu'izz al-Din managed keep him away from the Ghurid chieftains and send him to the court of his relatives in Bamiyan, where Atsiz's daughter married the eldest son of the Bamiyan ruler Baha al-Din Sam II.

Atsiz, however, challenged the rule of Ghiyath al-Din Mahmud and demanded the throne for himself, and requested aid from the Khwarazmian dynasty, who declined his request. Ghiyath al-Din Mahmud later died in 1212, and was succeeded by his son Baha al-Din Sam III, who was one year later carried by the Khwarazmians to Khwarezm, who finally agreed to help Atsiz, and made him ascend the Ghurid throne.

Willem Koekkoek (3 January 1839 – 29 January 1895) was a Dutch cityscape painter and marine artist.

Life and work

He was born in Amsterdam. He was a member of the famous ; son of the marine artist, Hermanus Koekkoek, and grandson of Johannes Hermanus Koekkoek. His brothers, Hermanus, Johannes Hermanus Barend, and  all became painters.

Following in the family tradition, his father gave all four brothers their first art lessons. Willem also received training as an architect, but practiced that profession for only a short time. It did, however, leave a lasting influence on his choice of subject matter.

From 1854 to 1878, he worked in The Hague, then in Amsterdam. His first exhibition was in 1859, in Leeuwarden. From 1865 to 1894, he held annual showings at the Royal Academy of Art and the Rijksakademie in Amsterdam. He had several showings at private galleries in London from 1885 to 1888. His brother, Hermanus, had moved to London and opened an art dealership in 1869, which made his works, and those of the entire family, popular in England.

In November, 1866, he married Johanna Hermina. They had two sons who became artists, Marinus Adrianus, known as "The Younger", who became an illustrator, and  Hermanus Willwm, who specialized in military subjects. Once again, following tradition, Willem provided their first lessons.

Sometime in the 1880s, he relocated to Amstelveen. By then, his brother, Hendrik Barend, had moved to London, and his son, Hermanus, eventually did as well. Although Willem painted almost entirely for his English clientele, he remained in the Netherlands. He stopped exhibiting, and painted little, after 1894, due to ill health, and died the following year, shortly after turning fifty-six.

title: Geetika Varde

text:
Geetika Varde Qureshi is an Indian classical vocalist of the Jaipur-Atrauli gharana of Hindustani classical music and wife of percussionist Taufiq Qureshi.

She is also one of the graded artistes of All India Radio and a proud recipient of the prestigious 'Surmani' title from Sur Shringar Samsad. From light music to world music Geetika Varde Qureshi has performed in India as well as abroad, for example at the Trafalgar Square Festival 2006, adds the release.

Early life and background
Born to Mohini and Mohan Varde, she was brought up in the Shivaji Park area in Mumbai, along with her elder sister Laxmi. She studied at St. Xavier's College, Mumbai, where she met Taufiq Qureshi, whom she was to wed later.

She received vocal training from Manik Bhide, a noted vocalist of the Jaipur-Atrauli gharana, and also received a scholarship from ITC Sangeet Research Academy, Kolkata.

Career
Geetika Varde, although a trained professional classical singer of the Jaipur Gharana, is very inclined towards light-classical forms and composing. Having performed at classical and fusion concerts, she has conducted lecture-demonstrations and workshops at prestigious venues in India and abroad. For the release of her well appreciated solo album ‘ROOH’, Pandit Shivkumar Sharma referred to the couple as "Taufiq and Geetika are a perfect blend of rhythm and melody."

Personal life
Geetika Varde is married to Taufiq Qureshi and the couple have a son, Shikhar Naad. Though still studying, he learns tabla from his father and has performed at certain public concerts with him.

Tracks

Najariya: - It is a thumri-type called dadra. In this track, the artiste intricately explores the nuances of this form by making variations of the same line thereby bringing about a dramatic romance in the simple lyrics.

Yey Dil: - Purely a love song, this extremely soulful track is high on melody and expresses Geetika's deep love for her soul- mate.

Hey Maana:- It is a ballad- a slow moving sentimental song that drifts into a thoughtful mood- seeking to spread love and unify with the world in all its beauty and sunshine.

Hum Apne: - An old ghazal presentation this track emulates the artiste's profound love for the evergreen songs of the Hindi Film Industry.

Shyaam: - A touching bhajan by Saint Rasakhani on Lord Krishna, Geetika here has given a soulful rendition through her composition steeped in devotional melody. In this meditative track, she uses the word 'Shyaam' in beautiful variations.

Meera: - This composition on 'Meera' featured in Taufiq Qureshi's album 'Colours of Rajasthan', released by Music Today over a decade ago is a bhajan that depicts devotion to the extent of dedicating one's whole self and being, to the one and only Lord Krishna.

Tum Bin: - The track is a pure classical approach of singing, based on raga Bageshri. Blending the tenets of alaap-s, bolalaap-s and taan-s 'Tum Bin' is a spontaneous and an extempore unfolding of the raga but in a "fast forward" mode.

Ley Ailey: - A traditional folk song from Uttar Pradesh, the artiste here explores the possibilities of light classical style of singing, giving preference to bol banaav, playing with words and live singing rather than the fixed and repetitive way of folk.

title: Victoria Battery

text:
Victoria Battery (one of two identically-named batteries named after Queen Victoria) was an artillery battery in the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar. It was built in the 1840s on top of the earlier Princess of Wales Batteries following a report by Major-General Sir John Thomas Jones on Gibraltar's defences. The battery was located on the west side of Gibraltar and was one of a number of "retired" batteries in the territory, constructed to improve the coastal defences between Europa Point and the town.

The battery was completed by 1843 and was nicknamed "Snake in the Grass Battery" due to its irregular undulating shape, measuring about  long. It mounted fifteen 32-pdr. guns in 1850, seven of which were replaced in 1863 by 68-pdrs. In 1868 Colonel W.F.D. Jervois wrote a report into the defences of Gibraltar which recommended installing larger rifled muzzle loader (RML) guns. Two 9-inch RMLs were installed in the south flank with iron casemates providing protection. This reduced the space available for the other guns to seven emplacements, of which three were occupied by 80-pdr. RMLs by 1888. The 9-inch RMLs were later replaced by 10-inch RMLs but all of the 80-pdrs. were removed in 1892, followed by the 10-inch guns in 1900.

In 1878 a new battery, also called Victoria Battery, was constructed on the right flank of the earlier battery to house a 100 ton gun. It was completed in 1883 but fell into disuse within only five years, by which time the gun was already obsolete.

title: Bellevue Palace, Kassel

text:
Bellevue Palace (German: Palais Bellevue or Schloss Bellevue) in Kassel was built in 1714 for Charles I, Landgrave of Hesse-Kassel. Originally the building served as an Observatory. It became a residence, and then part of Bellevue Castle, which was later destroyed. Until its closure for structural reasons in 2009, the building housed a museum devoted to the Grimm Brothers, which has now moved to the Grimmwelt Kassel.

Location

Bellevue Palace is near the center of Kassel, west of the Fulde River.
It is next to the Neue Galerie, an art museum founded in 1976 in an 1874 neo-classical building.
Bellevue Palace was erected in 1714 by the French architect and Huguenot refugee Paul du Ry as an observatory for Charles I (1654–1730), Landgrave of Hesse-Kassel.

History
From about 1725 on, the palace was used as a residence for members of the Landgrave's court, such as his mistress Barbara Christine von Bernhold (1690–1756).
Prince Frederick II (1720–1785), Landgrave from 1760 on, married Mary, daughter of King George II of Great Britain. He had the palace surrounded by an Anglo-Chinese garden, the first such garden on the continent.
In 1779, Frederick II opened a public museum of natural history and classical art, the Fridericianum, but kept the royal painting collection in Bellevue palace.
In 1790 Simon Louis du Ry renovated the building for William IX (1743–1821).

During the Napoleonic era the palace became the property of Jérôme Bonaparte (1784–1860), King of Westphalia from 1807 to 1813. It first housed his foreign minister,
Pierre-Alexandre Le Camus. In 1810, Auguste-Henri-Victor Grandjean de Montigny rebuilt the state rooms of the palace,
and after Kassel's primary palace had burned in 1811, Jérôme himself moved into Bellevue Palace. Jacob Grimm, the private librarian of King Jérôme and state auditor, was a frequent visitor.
After Jérôme was expelled in 1813 William IX, later Elector William I of Hesse (1743–1821), returned. William II (1777–1847) also lived here.  The Electress Augusta (1780–1841), who was estranged from William II, used it as her town house and summer residence.

In 1866 Hesse was annexed to Prussia. The building was recovered by a branch of the princely family in 1880.
From 1933 until the Second World War it was the residence of Philipp, Landgrave of Hesse (1896–1980), during his tenure as President of the Province of Hesse-Nassau.
In the mid-1930s Philipp made parts of the palace into a public art gallery. When Philipp was arrested in September 1943 on suspicion of plotting with the Italian royal family to overthrow Mussolini, the palace was plastered with posters denouncing the Italian royalty. The palace survived Allied bombing raids during World War II (1939-1945) with little damage.

The palace was acquired by the city of Kassel in 1956, and until 1970 it was the home of the Municipal Art Collection. The Louis Spohr museum, closed by the Nazis in 1933, was re-opened in the building in 1967. It included four display rooms and an archive.  The displays presented the violinist Louis Spohr and other violinists and violins of the period. In 1972 the Brothers Grimm exhibition was moved to the ground floor of the palace. In 1999 the Brothers Grimm Museum took over the entire building.

The Brothers Grimm exhibition has since moved to a nearby museum, the palace is now closed.

Structure
The Bellevue Palace is the only palace from the early 18th century in Kassel, since the others were destroyed during World War II or in an "anti-feudal" demolition wave in the 1950s.
The building has simple but elegant facades, broken only by a slight cornice above the ground floor.
It is three stories high and almost square, with two side wings on the rear garden.
The street front has a balcony above a classical portal.
The building originally had a cross-shaped roof structure with an octagonal dome for the observatory.
Later this was replaced by a high mansard roof with gabled extensions.
The interior has rooms decorated in a simple combination of rococo style and classicism.
The classical stairway is well preserved. The large central room on the ground floor has a beautiful pilaster.
Since 1994 the building has been extensively repaired and restored, with an escalator installed.

title: Llanbister

text:
Llanbister is a small village and community with a 2011 population of 382 in Powys, mid Wales, in the historic county of Radnorshire.

Facilities
The village is not directly served by a railway station: the nearest is Llanbister Road railway station which is about 5 miles east of the village. It is served by a bus service (the T4 operated by Stagecoach Wales) which connects Cardiff to Newtown via Merthyr Tydfil, Brecon, Builth Wells and Llandrindod Wells.

Llanbister is situated on the A483 main road from Newtown to Llandrindod Wells, at its junction with the B4356 road. It also lies next to the River Ithon which flows southward just west of the village.

In the past, there was a police station in Llanbister, on the north west outskirts of the village, but this has since been sold off as private housing.

Other facilities include a primary school, Llanbister C P School, a children's play area and a 200-person capacity community hall built in 1996 which has a stage and a 6.25m x 4m dance floor. There used to be a Post Office in the centre of the village but it is no longer operating: it was proposed for closure in 2008.

There is a Victorian pub and bed and breakfast hotel (The Lion Hotel) in the village and a caravan and camping site to the north west of the village, near the former police station.

There is an area of common land to the east of the village, named Llanbister Common. In July 1991 an unlicensed free music festival was held there, which was not well received by the local population, so in summer 1992 manure was spread on the land to make a repeat less likely. There is evidence of possible medieval ridge and furrow cultivation on Llanbister Common.

In 2018 the horror film You Should Have Left was partly filmed at a property near Llanbister, the John Pawson-designed Life House (Tŷ Bywyd) just east of the village.

Churches
The village has an Anglican church in the centre, St Cynllo's Parish Church (part of the Church in Wales), parts of which date from around AD 1300, as well as a Methodist church on the southern outskirts.

Notable residents
 Eleanor Bufton (1842–1893), the actress, was born here.

Community Accountability is
a community-based strategy, rather than a police/prison-based strategy, to address violence including domestic violence, sexual violence, and child abuse.
Community Accountability is a process in which a community – a group of friends, a family, a church, a workplace, an apartment complex, a neighborhood, etc. – work together to do the following things:

 Create and affirm values and practices that resist abuse and oppression and encourage safety, support, and accountability
 Develop strategies to address abusive behavior of community members and help them to transform their behavior
 Work on the evolution of the community and all its members, to transform the political conditions that reinforce oppression and violence
 Provide safety and support to community members who are violently targeted with respect to their self-determination

title: Carhue House

text:
Carhue House (also known as Carhoo House) is a country house in the townland of Carhoo Lower, situated  west of Coachford village. It is one of several such houses in mid-Cork, many of which are situated along the valley of the River Lee and its tributaries.

Description
The house's entry in the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage describes it as a detached five-bay, three-storey house, built c. 1750, having a pedimented central bay to the front, a two-storey extension to the rear, and a recent front porch addition. The gabled chimney-stacks, lack of depth in plan and pedimented breakfront are said to indicate an early construction date, with the window proportions, door opening and breakfront being typical of its time. Parkland once existing to the south of Carhue House has been lost to river erosion following the River Lee hydroelectric scheme of the late 1950s.

History
It was once the residence of the Coppinger family. The accompanying terrier to the Down Survey map (1656-8) lists Thomas and Edmund Coppinger as proprietors by way of mortgage of 'Carrooe'. Lewis's Topographical Dictionary of Ireland (1837) describes Carhue as being the seat of J. Rye Coppinger, Esq.  The tithe applotment book for the parish of Magourney records 'John Rye Coppinger, Esq.' of 'Lower Carhue' as occupying c. 275 acres of titheable land.

The mid-nineteenth century Primary Valuation of Ireland (Griffith's Valuation) records Henry T. Coppinger, Esq. as occupying in fee simple c. 154 acres in Carhoo Lower townland, consisting of a 'house, offices (dilapidated), land' and some 6 acres of water. Henry T. Coppinger also appears to lease c. 126 acres within the townland, during this time, to James Wiseman, consisting of 'offices, land' and some 2 acres of water.

Indications of financial distress surfaced at Carhue following the Great Famine (Ireland). By February 1850, the farm interest of George Foott had been surrendered and the stock, crops, implements and furniture put up for auction without reserve. Foott had previously secured a loan for £100 in 1848 under the Land Improvement Act. The house, offices and demesne of Carhue were offered for lease in March 1850, comprising 290 acres of pasture and tillage, with 50 acres suitable for oats or barley, having been cropped with turnips and carrots that season, and the lands described as highly cultivated and employed for dairy farming for years. That part held by Foott, comprising 140 acres, was available for lease separately. On 9 April 1850 a large quantity of oak, ash, elm, beech and sycamore was put up for auction without reserve at Carhue. By 29 June 1852 an unreserved auction was scheduled for the sale of Carhue demesne including fourteen acres of wheat, nine acres of barley, ten acres of oats, sixty acres of meadow, ten acres of potatoes, some turnips and carrots, a quantity of hay and straw, livestock, farm implements, and household furniture.

On 14 February 1856 an encumbered estates notice issued for sale by auction on 17 April 1856 of part of the lands of Carhue, including the sub-denominations known as Coultimorreghue & Keelteanagh, and containing c. 284 acres and a house and offices held in fee simple. The house and demesne were in the owner's occupation and the remaining lands occupied by one tenant, with both leases to expire following the sale. The lands were said to produce an annual profit of £221 16s. 7d., with the demesne containing mature timber, excellent lands suitable for pasture and tillage, and an abundant supply of water. The house had also recently been repaired. On 16 May 1856, a Memorandum of Agreement was noted between Thomas Stephen Coppinger and John Galwey of Fort Richard, Co Cork, affecting the lands of Oughteherrybeg, Carhue, Coultimorroghue and Keelteenagh, which were subsequently granted by the Commissioners to Thomas Stephen Coppinger by Deed of Conveyance dated 5 July 1856, in consideration of £5,525 being paid into the Bank of Ireland to the credit of the Estate of Henry [Thorne] Coppinger. In consideration of £3,000, John Galwey then released a charge over the lands by Deed of Release dated 26 July 1856. Thomas Stephen Coppinger then disposed of his interest in Carhue and other lands to George Charles Edward Colthurst of Dripsey Castle by Deed of Conveyance dated 14 August 1856, in consideration of payment of £6,750. On the same day, Colthurst by Deed of Mortgage and in consideration of £2,300 disposed of lands (including Carhue) to Peggy Colthurst of Dripsey Castle.

During the mid 1870s, John Good was residing at the property. Slater's 1894 Royal National Directory of Ireland refers to it as the seat of John H. Colthurst.  Burke's Genealogical and Heraldic Dictionary of 1904 records George Colthurst (born 1811) of Carhue House.

Today, it remains a private residence, and is not accessible to the public.

title: I Love My Lady

text:
I Love My Lady is an album by American pop singer Johnny Mathis that was completed in 1981 but not released in its entirety until December 8, 2017, when it was included in the box set The Voice of Romance: The Columbia Original Album Collection. It was written and produced by Chic founders Bernard Edwards and Nile Rodgers and represented an attempt at shifting away from the easy listening style of music that Mathis had been recording for 25 years to the more contemporary sound of the team behind "Le Freak" and "We Are Family".

As part of Record Store Day on April 21, 2018, Legacy Recordings gave I Love My Lady its standalone debut with a pressing on clear smoke vinyl.

History

Mathis experienced a career resurgence in the spring of 1978 with the release of a duet he recorded with Deniece Williams titled "Too Much, Too Little, Too Late". The single was his first to achieve Gold certification from the Recording Industry Association of America, which at the time was awarded for sales of one million units in the US; it was his first song to make the top 40 on the Billboard Hot 100 since the number 30 showing of "Every Step of the Way" in 1963 and his first number one song on that chart since the magazine started it in 1958 (although "Chances Are" spent a week at number one on the magazine's "Most Played by Jockeys" chart in 1957). The duet also gave Mathis a resurgence in album sales with its inclusion on You Light Up My Life, his first top 10 entry on the magazine's LP chart since 1966 and his first non-holiday studio album to receive Platinum certification since 1959's Heavenly.

Mathis was able to sustain some of the momentum in album sales by re-teaming with Williams immediately for an entire album of duets: That's What Friends Are For went Gold and had a respectable peak at number 19 on the album chart but managed only the number 47 "You're All I Need to Get By" as far as pop chart entries. His first album release in 1979, The Best Days of My Life, only got as high as number 122 with two songs just making the Adult Contemporary chart, and his second, Mathis Magic, missed the Billboard album chart altogether and had no charting singles. Although he had been leaning more heavily on original material since the success with Williams, he had worked with the same producer, Jack Gold, on eight of the albums that he recorded between 1975 and 1980 and was willing to explore other options.

In late December 1980 and January 1981 Mathis recorded the album I Love My Lady with Bernard Edwards and Nile Rodgers at the helm. All tracks for the album were written by the duo, whose songwriting credits included hits by their own band, Chic, as well as Sister Sledge and Diana Ross. Mathis was quoted as having enjoyed the project: "What a joy to work and sing with Bernard and Nile ... A unique experience that introduced me to new and exciting singing, as though using musical notes and phrases as brush strokes. A true departure for me as a vocalist and a milestone in my career." After the completion of the album, "nobody said anything over at Columbia, and a best-of album [The First 25 Years – The Silver Anniversary Album] came out instead."

In 2004 a spokeswoman for Mathis explained the efforts that had been made to get the album released. "We have forwarded to Sony, by way of our attorney, letters, inquiries, etc. from fans who were hoping to hear this album. This seems to have had no impact." When asked in a 2011 radio interview as to why the album had never been released, Mathis gave a brief chuckle as he replied, "Probably because the record company is almighty when you're making music to sell. They have their likes and dislikes.... I guess because they didn't think it would sell."

Resurfacing
At the EMP Pop Conference on April 19, 2009, music historian Andy Zax gave the presentation "Lost in Lost Music: Rediscovering Johnny Mathis' I Love My Lady" in which he describes his interest in producing a CD box set that would cover the music that Edwards and Rodgers produced for Chic and other artists. He discovered the unreleased Mathis album in August 2007 while looking through the vault of tapes that would have held much of the material he was wanting for the project.

Music journalist Ned Raggett included his notes in his report on the presentation that described the album as "less funk [such as what Chic was known for] and more jazz, like Weather Report but with bright melodic hooks. Sounds like Al Jarreau's This Time and Steely Dan's Gaucho (minus the boring stuff!)." Reviewing the album in Echoes, Adam Mattera singled out "Fall In Love (I Want To)" as "arguably Chic's greatest production of the era - recalling both the hypnotic allure of "I Want Your Love" and the smooth jazz of "Savoir Faire", topped with a gossamer vocal from Johnny."

Four of the eight tracks from the album have made their way onto compilations by Rodgers. The 2010 release Nile Rodgers presents The Chic Organization Boxset Vol 1 / "Savoir Faire" included the tracks "I Want to Fall in Love", "It's Alright to Love Me", and "Something to Sing About". The title track from the album, along with "Something to Sing About", was released on Mathis' UK-only Ultimate Collection in 2011. "I Love My Lady" also appeared in 2013 on two two-disc compilations: Nile Rodgers presents The Chic Organization – Up All Night and Nile Rodgers presents The Chic Organization – Up All Night Disco Edition.

The Shapeshifters' 2006 single "Sensitivity" features samples from an out-take version of "Love and Be Loved" supplied to them by Nile Rodgers. Chic are given a featured artist credit on the track.

title: Katowice Conference

text:
The Katowice Conference (also known as the Kattowitz Conference) was a convention of Hovevei Zion groups from various countries held in Kattowitz, Germany (today: Katowice, Poland) in November, 1884. It was assembled to address the need of a Jewish state and to develop a plan for the creation of a Jewish state. The original date for the conference was chosen to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the birth of Moses Montefiore.

The conference was chaired by Leon Pinsker and attended by 32 people, of which 22 were from Russia. It was the first public meeting of Zionists, preceding the First Zionist Congress by 13 years.

History
The Hovevei Zion movement began in Russia and Romania and slowly spread out to the rest of the Jewish world. Important early members were: Chaim Weizmann, Ahad Ha’am, Menachem Ussishkin, Israel Zangwill, and Leo Motzkin. The Hovevei Zion organizations were usually small and independent. In 1882, Leon (Yehuda Leib) Pinsker, influenced by a string of pogroms in his town of Odesa, anonymously published “Auto-Emanzipation. Ein Mahnruf an seine Stammesgenossen. Von einem russischen Juden” (Self-Emancipation. A Warning Addressed to His Brethren. By a Russian Jew) Pinsker outlined his belief that the root cause of anti-Semitism was that the Jews were a people without a nation of their own. He called on Jews to organize themselves for the establishment of a Jewish homeland.

Waves of pogroms in the Russian Empire from 1881-1884 and the anti-Semitic May Laws of 1882 introduced by Tsar Alexander III of Russia, deeply affected Jewish communities and prompted the Hovevei Zion movement to take action and organize the conference. The growing separation of Jewish communities due to sudden freedom and assimilation also was a cause for action, as many feared that Judaism's ancient sense of unified nationality would disappear.

With the beginning of the movement to settle Eretz Israel in the early 1880s and the establishment of Ḥovivei Zion societies in various countries, the need to create a unifying and coordinating center for the early Zionist activities was expressed. The only country in which a central committee functioned was Romania. An attempt to found a central committee in Russia, made at a small conference in Bialystok in 1883, produced no results; other attempts also failed. In the end Leon Pinsker, Moses Leib Lilienblum, Hermann Schapira, Max Emmanuel Mandelstamm, and others took the initiative to convene a conference. Following the suggestion of David Gordon, Katowice, then in Germany, was chosen as the site for the conference. Its date was fixed for Oct. 27, 1884, the 100th anniversary of the birth of Moses Montefiore, at the suggestion of the Warsaw society. The conference was intended primarily for the Ḥibbat Zion societies in Russia, as the movement in Romania had significantly weakened. There were very few Ḥibbat Zion societies in other countries. As delegates from Russia encountered difficulties in arriving at the appointed time, the conference's opening was postponed until November 6.

Participants

Twenty-two delegates came to the conference from Russia and ten from other countries. One from France, one from Romania, two from the United Kingdom, and the rest from Germany. At the request of the Warsaw society, many other groups submitted proposals for organization and action. Schapira, who could not attend, sent a telegram to point out the importance of establishing financial institutions, including a general Jewish fund, whose primary task would be to redeem land in Eretz Israel.

Decisions
At the proposal of Pinsker the conference established an institution named Agudat Montefiore to promote farming among the Jews and support Jewish settlement in Eretz Israel. A decision was reached to send immediately 10,000 francs to Petaḥ Tikvah and 2,000 rubles for Yesud ha-Ma'alah. It was also decided to send a reliable emissary to Eretz Israel to investigate the standing of the colonies there. Nineteen members were elected to the central committee, including Leon Pinsker (chairman), Samuel Mohilewer (president), Kalonymus Ze'ev Wissotzky, Judah Leib ben Moses Kalischer (the son of Ẓevi Hirsch Kalischer), Max Emmanuel Mandelstamm, Ch. Wollrauch, and others.

At the first meeting of the central committee, which took place at the time of the conference, it was decided that two committees, one in Odesa and the other in Warsaw, should temporarily manage the organization's affairs. The central committee, to be headed by Pinsker, was to reside temporarily in Odesa, and a subcommittee was to be established in Warsaw, subject to Pinsker's authority. Kalischer announced his presentation of land acquired by his father near Rachel's Tomb to the central committee.
