title: 2011 Spanish regional elections

text:
The 2011 Spanish regional elections were held on Sunday, 22 May 2011, to elect the regional parliaments of thirteen of the seventeen autonomous communities—Aragon, Asturias, the Balearic Islands, the Canary Islands, Cantabria, Castile and León, Castilla–La Mancha, Extremadura, La Rioja, Madrid, Murcia, Navarre and the Valencian Community—, not including Andalusia, the Basque Country, Catalonia and Galicia, which had separate electoral cycles. 824 of 1,218 seats in the regional parliaments were up for election, as well as the 50 seats in the regional assemblies of Ceuta and Melilla. The elections were held simultaneously with local elections all throughout Spain.

The week before the elections came dominated under the scope of the 15-M protests which had been held in different cities across Spain. The opposition People's Party (PP) won the elections in a landslide as the ruling Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) lost all regional governments at stake—including Extremadura and Castilla–La Mancha, which it had held since 1983. The PP won outright majorities in eight out of the thirteen communities holding elections, and was able to gain power in a further two either through agreements with other parties.

Election date
Determination of election day varied depending on the autonomous community, with each one having competency to establish its own regulations. Typically, thirteen out of the seventeen autonomous communities—all but Andalusia, the Basque Country, Catalonia and Galicia—had their elections fixed for the fourth Sunday of May every four years, to be held together with nationwide local elections.

In some cases, regional presidents had the prerogative to dissolve the regional parliament and call for extra elections at a different time, but newly elected assemblies were restricted to serving out what remained of their previous four year-terms without altering the period to their next ordinary election. In other cases—namely, Aragon, the Balearic Islands, Castile and León, Extremadura, Navarre and the Valencian Community—, the law granted presidents the power to call a snap election resulting in a fresh four year-parliamentary term. By the time of the 2011 regional elections, however, this prerogative had not yet been exercised by any of these communities.

title: 2015 Spanish regional elections

text:
The 2015 Spanish regional elections were held on Sunday, 24 May 2015, to elect the regional parliaments of thirteen of the seventeen autonomous communities—Aragon, Asturias, the Balearic Islands, the Canary Islands, Cantabria, Castile and León, Castilla–La Mancha, Extremadura, La Rioja, Madrid, Murcia, Navarre and the Valencian Community—, not including Andalusia, the Basque Country, Catalonia and Galicia, which had separate electoral cycles. 804 of 1,198 seats in the regional parliaments were up for election, as well as the 50 seats in the regional assemblies of Ceuta and Melilla. The elections were held simultaneously with local elections all throughout Spain.

The ruling People's Party (PP) suffered one of the harshest loss of votes for any party in the quadrennial regional elections, losing all of its absolute majorities and most of the regional administrations at stake, including notable PP strongholds such as the Valencian Community which it had held continuously since 1995. The Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) was unable to capitalize on the PP backlash and kept losing votes from 2011. However, through post-election agreements with other left-wing parties it was able to recapture all of the regional governments it had lost four years previously, as well as gain the Valencian regional government.

The novelty of these elections was the irruption of two new parties: Podemos (), a party founded in 2014 before the May European Parliament election, and Citizens (C's), a Catalan unionist party created in 2006 to run in Parliament of Catalonia elections. Podemos obtained a strong third place, close to the two main parties in several regions and entering in all regional parliaments—a first for any party aside from PP and PSOE—, while C's placed fourth in most regions, being left out from regional assemblies in the Canary Islands, Castilla–La Mancha and Navarre.

Election date
Determination of election day varied depending on the autonomous community, with each one having competency to establish its own regulations. Typically, thirteen out of the seventeen autonomous communities—all but Andalusia, the Basque Country, Catalonia and Galicia—had their elections fixed for the fourth Sunday of May every four years, to be held together with nationwide local elections.

In some cases, regional presidents had the prerogative to dissolve the regional parliament and call for extra elections at a different time, but newly elected assemblies were restricted to serving out what remained of their previous four year-terms without altering the period to their next ordinary election. In other cases—namely, Aragon, the Balearic Islands, Castile and León, Extremadura, Navarre and the Valencian Community—, the law granted presidents the power to call a snap election resulting in a fresh four year-parliamentary term. By the time of the 2015 regional elections, however, this prerogative had not yet been exercised by any of these communities.

The Intoxicating Substances (Supply) Act 1985 was a UK Act of Parliament. It made it an offence for people to supply substances that are not controlled by the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 to people under 18 years of age when it is likely that the substance could be inhaled for the purpose of intoxication. The legislation was drafted in the 1980s due to concern over solvent abuse but was used in the 2010s to prosecute those selling designer drugs that are inhaled. The Act was repealed and replaced by the Psychoactive Substances Act 2016.

title: Carlton Barracks

text:
Carlton Barracks is a military installation in Leeds in West Yorkshire, England.

History
The barracks were opened as a base for the 4th Battalion of the West Yorkshire Militia in 1865. In 1887 the barracks were bought, with corps funds, to accommodate the 3rd Battalion the Prince of Wales (West Yorkshire) Regiment (The Rifles). In 1908, the 3rd battalion became the 7th and 8th battalions; these new battalions were also based at Carlton Barracks.

At the start of the First World War so many men reported to Carlton Barracks in response to the call to arms that the War Office decided to form two second line battalions (2/7th and 2/8th, the original battalions becoming 1/7th and 1/8th).

After the Second World War the headquarters of 45th (Leeds Rifles) Royal Tank Regiment (TA) was established at the barracks as was the headquarters of 269 Field Regiment Royal Artillery. The former regiment evolved to become the 7th (Leeds Rifles) battalion of the West Yorkshire Regiment, based at Carlton Barracks, and the latter regiment evolved to become a battery now known as 269 (West Riding) Battery Royal Artillery which is still based at the barracks.

Other Army Reserve units based at the barracks now include 49 (West Riding) Signal Squadron and B Squadron 23 Special Air Service (R). The barracks are also the home of the Yorkshire Officer Training Regiment and the local branch of the Army Cadet Force as well as , Royal Naval Reserve, which is also home to the Yorkshire Universities Royal Navy Unit, and the Leeds Detachment of the Royal Marines Reserve Merseyside.

title: Eckington Bridge

text:
Eckington Bridge is a stone bridge over the River Avon in Eckington in the English county of Worcestershire. It is a Grade II* listed building and has been scheduled as an ancient monument.

The first bridge at the site was built in 1440, replacing an earlier ferry, but this fell into disrepair and was replaced by the current stone bridge in the 1720s. It consists of six arches built of red sandstone with the piers being protected by cutwaters.

On the northern side of the bridge, slightly downstream, is a World War II pillbox.

During 2011 and 2012 repairs were undertaken by Worcestershire County Council at a cost of £240,000.

Next to the bridge is Eckington Wharf, which is no longer used commercially but provides public moorings, a canoe launching slipway and picnic area.

The bridge is the subject of a poem by Arthur Quiller-Couch, and a picture from 1929 by Walter J. Phillips.

In 2022 a collision between two cars on the bridge caused damage and a car entered the river.  The driver of that car died.

title: Mihailo Ristić (footballer)

text:
Mihailo Ristić (, ; born 31 October 1995) is a Serbian professional footballer who plays as a left-back or left wing-back  for La Liga club Celta and the Serbia national team.

Club career

Red Star Belgrade
Born in Bijeljina, Ristić played with Partizan Donja Trnova and Rudar Ugljevik during his youth career, before he moved to Red Star Belgrade, in early 2013 thanks to a scouting search. He became one of the best players in Red Star's youth teams in shortly time, and was called to the first team under coach Ricardo Sá Pinto for the last league fixture of the 2012–13 season against Vojvodina. Although he did not make a deby on that match, he was on the bench during the game. After the end of his youth career, Ristić signed his first professional contract with Red Star Belgrade in July 2014. He made his Serbian SuperLiga debut for Red Star Belgrade on 9 August 2014, under coach Nenad Lalatović, when he replaced Vukan Savićević in the 82 minute in a 2-0 win against Radnički Niš. During the season, he was mostly used as a defensive midfielder. After Miodrag Božović became the first coach of the Red Star Belgrade, Ristić started 2015–16 season as a back-up player. He also changed several positions on the field, playing as a central and left midfielder or as a left-back in some occasions. At the beginning of 2016–17 season, Mihailo definitely changed his position, but he also changed his jersey number and took 73 (He had worn 24 & 36 previously). After Luis Ibáñez left the club, Ristić became the first choice as a left-back, which he justified making two assists in the 3rd fixture of the 2016–17 Serbian SuperLiga season against Mladost Lučani. On 14 September 2016, Ristić extended his contract with club until summer 2020.

Krasnodar

On 30 June 2017, Ristić signed a 5-year contract with the Russian Premier League side Krasnodar. The reported fee is believed to be around €2 million plus 20 percent of the future transfer. Ristić made his debut for new club in the first leg of third qualifying round for 2017–18 UEFA Europa League, in a 2–1 home victory over Lyngby Boldklub on 27 July 2017. On 17 August 2017, in the first leg match of the play-off round for 2017–18 UEFA Europa League Ristić scored from a long distance against his former club Red Star. However, neither the referee nor the linesman saw it as a goal, and play was continued. The final score was a 3–2 win for Krasnodar.

Loan to Sparta Prague
On 2 February 2018, Ristić moved to Czech club Sparta Prague on a one-year loan deal with an option-to-buy.

Montpellier
On 12 January 2019, Ristić joined French club Montpellier.

Benfica
On 26 May 2022, Ristić officially signed for Primeira Liga club Benfica on a free transfer. He made his debut for the club on 27 August, replacing Alejandro Grimaldo in the 91st minute in a 3–0 away win over Boavista in the Primeira Liga. He scored his first goal for the club on 6 November, closing Benfica's 5–1 victory over Estoril.

Celta
On 1 September 2023, Ristić signed a three-year contract with La Liga side Celta, for a fee of €1.5 million, which could rise to €3 million with add-ons.

International career
Ristić was a member of Serbia national under-19 football team between 2013 and 2014. During that period, Ristić played as a left-back in some matches. He was also called into U20 squad under coach Veljko Paunović in 2015, but he later missed FIFA U-20 World Cup because of tonsillectomy. Selector of Serbia national under-23 football team, Milan Rastavac invited him to squad for a revival match against Qatar in December 2015. Ristić was called, and made his debut for Serbia U21 team in a match against Andorra, played in March 2016. Coach Slavoljub Muslin invited Ristić for a friendly match of the Serbia national football team against Qatar in September 2016. Ristić made his international debut for the Serbia national football team in a friendly 3-0 loss to Qatar.

title: Jenico d'Artois

text:
Sir Jenico d'Artois, Dartas, Dartass or Dartasso (c.1350 – November 1426) was a Gascony-born soldier and statesman, much of whose career was spent in Ireland. He enjoyed the trust and confidence of three successive English monarchs, and became a wealthy landowner in Ireland.

Early career

Although the best-known version of his surname suggests Artois as his birthplace, historians agree that he was a native of Gascony. This province in France, which had been part of the dowry of Eleanor of Aquitaine on her marriage in 1152 to Henry II of England, was in the fourteenth century still an English possession. Little seems to be known about his parents. He had at least one brother, Sampson, to whom he remained close throughout his life. It has been suggested that he was a "rootless" individual, who ultimately settled in Ireland because he had no strong ties anywhere else. He was popularly known as "the Gascon squire".

D'Artois served in the garrison of Cherbourg in 1367 and 1368, during the time when the town was a possession of Charles II of Navarre. In January 1379, he was involved in the capture and ransom of Olivier de Geusclin, a brother of Bertrand du Guesclin, the Constable of France. By that time, the garrison at Cherbourg was being shared with English soldiers. D'Artois switched his allegiance from Navarre to England, and by December 1380 had moved to the garrison at Guînes, within the Pale of Calais. He had acquired the patronage of Henry Percy, 1st Earl of Northumberland, by 1384, and subsequently entered the service of the earl's son, Henry "Hotspur" Percy. D'Artois commanded one of Hotspur's ships on his 1387 expedition to relieve Brest, and the following year was captured alongside him at the Battle of Otterburn.

Servant of the English Crown

In 1390, d'Artois joined the Barbary Crusade led by Louis II, Duke of Bourbon. He subsequently joined Henry of Bolingbroke (the future Henry IV of England) in Lithuania, fighting with the Teutonic Knights. His exploits there brought him to the attention of John Waltham (the Lord High Treasurer under Richard II), who recruited him as a household esquire. In September 1392, d'Artois entered the employ of Richard II, and by 1394 he is known to have been high in the King's favour.

He accompanied the King on his military expedition to Ireland in that year and distinguished himself as a soldier, fighting against the Gaelic clans in Counties Carlow and Kilkenny. He received a substantial grant of land in south County Dublin "for his good service against the Irish of Leinster and for his constant loyalty". D'Artois was not especially grateful for this reward, and made the celebrated complaint that: "it would be worth more than a thousand marks a year if it were near London, but I have such trouble keeping it that I would not wish to live here for long, for a quarter of the whole land of Ireland". He also complained of his difficulty in gaining possession of the lands granted to him; this applied in particular to Carrickmines, to which the Walsh family also had a claim, which was ultimately successful. He claimed the manor of Huntspill Marreys in Somerset, but the King upheld the rival claim of James Butler, 3rd Earl of Ormond. In 1397 the King ordered payment to him, jointly with Robert de Faryngton (shortly afterwards to be Lord Treasurer of Ireland), in respect of the marriages of the three daughters of Robert Ufford - Ela, Sybilla and  Joan - by his wife Eleanor Felton, daughter of Sir Thomas Felton, who were royal wards. Sybilla became a nun; her sisters married into the Bowett family.

In 1398, when Roger Mortimer, 4th Earl of March, the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, was killed in a skirmish with the O'Brien clan at Kells, County Meath, d'Artois was put in charge of taking reprisals against the O'Briens. It was reported that he "slew, captured or brought into submission many of the Irish".

His service with the House of Lancaster

He accompanied Richard II on his ill-fated return to England in 1399, and as Richard's enemies moved to depose him, Jenico, who was known to be one of the King's staunchest supporters, was arrested at Chester. After Richard's forced abdication, and his death early in 1400, given Jenico's record of loyalty to the late King, the new regime might have been expected to execute him for treason, as was the fate of several of Richard's advisers. D'Artois did not help his case by stubbornly continuing to wear Richard's livery (insignia). However, he had several influential friends in the new regime who pleaded for clemency on his behalf. The new King Henry IV clearly valued Jenico for his military ability (they had, of course, served together with the Teutonic Knights in Lithuania). His loyalty to Richard was not held against him, and he received a royal pardon. In 1407 he was released from repayment of all debts owed to the Crown.

He served in the large English army which invaded Scotland in August 1400. This army was led by the King in person: Henry IV hoped to take advantage of the serious political divisions in Scotland to persuade the aged and infirm King Robert III of Scotland to acknowledge the King of England as his feudal overlord, a claim which the English Crown had revived periodically over the centuries, but which the Scots had always rejected. It is unlikely that Jenico's military skills were needed during the campaign, as the Scots army prudently refused to give battle, and Henry, who was anxious to maintain the image of a benevolent overlord, gave strict orders that there should be no looting or pillaging. After a fortnight the English army withdrew from Scotland, having accomplished nothing.

Jenico was made Constable of Dublin Castle in about 1401, and he subsequently became High Sheriff of Meath and one of the Keepers of the Peace for the County, Seneschal of Ulster, and Admiral of Ireland. He did not as might have been expected (as he was by then probably the senior military commander in  Ireland) play any role in the Battle of Bloody Bank in  July 1402, in which the people of Dublin scored a decisive victory over the O'Byrne clan of County Wicklow. Leadership of the Dublin men was entrusted to the Mayor of Dublin, John Drake, who became a popular hero as a result. Jenico himself is said to have been fighting in defence of his wife's lands in County Meath at the time.

He was appointed a member of the council which advised the King's son, Thomas of Lancaster, 1st Duke of Clarence, who was Chief Governor of Ireland from 1401 to 1413. He was given charge of Trim Castle, and manor, and complained in 1403 that the manor tenants were not paying their rent. He acquired substantial lands in Counties Meath, Louth, and Down; his principal seat was at Ardglass in County Down. His marriage in about 1401 to the County Meath heiress Joan Taaffe, widow of Chief Justice Rowe, made him a prominent member of the Anglo-Irish gentry of the Pale as well as bringing him further lands in County Meath. The Earl of Ormonde, who had once quarrelled with him over the right to hold lands in Somerset, was now anxious to be his friend, and made over to him the rents of another Ormonde property in Buckinghamshire.  In  1415 the King gave him a present of a royal  barge, La Cateryn of Drogheda. In 1422 he was granted lands at Clane, County Kildare, formerly held by Sir Christopher Preston. A shrewd man of business, he is found petitioning the English Parliament at Westminster concerning various grants of land only months before his death. The matter was not finally resolved until after his death.

Henry V shared his two predecessors' trust in Jenico: in 1413 he was appointed joint Governor of Ireland in the absence of the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, and he served with the King in France in 1415 and 1418. He died in November 1426.

Marriages and descendants

He married firstly, before 1402, Joan or Joanne Taaffe, daughter of Sir Nicholas Taaffe of Liscarton Castle, near Navan, and widow of Peter Rowe, Lord Chief Justice of Ireland. She died before 1414. His second wife Elizabeth, of whose family little seems to be known, outlived him and was one of the executors of his will. In 1427 the  Crown ordered that she be left in peaceful possession of certain lands which had been granted to her and Jenico jointly.

He had three children by his first marriage

Sir John (born before 1406, living 1450). He was described in the Patent Roll of 1427 as the eldest son and heir, and was then of age, but appears to have died without issue;
Jenico the younger (living 1459);
Jane, who married firstly Christopher Preston, 3rd Baron Gormanston, by whom she had issue, including Robert and Elizabeth, and secondly Giles Thorndon, former Lord Treasurer of Ireland.

The younger Jenico married firstly Jane Serjeant, daughter and co-heiress of Sir Robert Serjeant of Castleknock. Sir Robert's death led to a bitter dispute over the Serjeant inheritance between Jenico and Sir Nicholas Barnewall, the Lord Chief Justice of Ireland, who had married Jane's sister and co-heiress Ismay. Jenico the younger held the office, presumably a sinecure, of Chirographer (engrosser of fines) to the Court of Common Pleas (Ireland).

Young Jenico and Jane had an only daughter and heiress Margaret, who married firstly Sir John Dowdall of Newtown, and secondly Rowland FitzEustace, 1st Baron Portlester. Since their daughter Katherine was later legitimated by Act of Parliament, it is clear that Margaret and Rowland were cohabiting before their marriage. Through Rowland's daughter Alison, Countess of Kildare (died 1495), most of the d'Artois inheritance passed by descent to the Earl of Kildare. Margaret, who was Rowland's third wife, was probably Alison's mother. However, there is some doubt about which of Rowland's children was born to which mother. After Jane's death Jenico became the third husband of the much-married Maud Plunkett, daughter of Christopher Plunkett, 1st Baron Killeen. She outlived him and made yet another marriage. She died in 1482. A colourful story about her previous marriage inspired a much later ballad: "The Bride of Malahide".

Sampson d'Artois, Chancellor of the Exchequer of Ireland 1424–1431, was a close relative, probably a brother, of Jenico. He was co-executor with Jenico's widow, and one Nicholas Bayley, of his will.

D'Artois' unusual first name was preserved by the Preston family, descendants of his daughter Jane; many of the Preston boys down the generations were named Jenico. His granddaughter Lady Portlester was usually referred to as Margaret Jenico. A possible descendant is Irish politician John Dardis (born 1945).

Personality
Jenico has been described as one of the most flamboyant characters in the Europe of his era: "a man of action and vivid personality". He was a military adventurer who undoubtedly "feathered his own nest" during his years in Ireland, and yet he gave good and loyal service to three English monarchs and earned the trust of all of them. Curtis remarks that if there had been more men of his calibre in fifteenth-century Ireland, the English Crown's hold on the country would have been far more secure.

title: Idrija Fault

text:
The Idrija Fault (; ) is a seismically active fault in Slovenia. It strikes NW–SE and the fault plane dips towards the northeast. The activity along the fault started in the Miocene with normal faulting and changed to dextral strike-slip in Pliocene. The fault was first described by Marko Vincenc Lipold, a geologist from Slovenia.

Present displacement is measured and varies along strike but is in the order of magnitude of 0.1 mm per year. The strongest earthquake along the Idrija Fault was the 1511 Western Slovenia earthquake (or 1511 Idrija earthquake), which took place on 26 March 1511, had a magnitude of 6.8, and caused about 12,000 deaths.

title: George Torrance (footballer)

text:
George Clark Torrance (born 17 September 1957) is a Scottish retired professional footballer who played as a left midfielder in the Football League for Brentford.

Club career

Non-League football
A left-sided midfielder, Torrance began his career with Isthmian League First Division club Camberley Town, when he was stationed with the British Army in nearby Blackwater. He moved on to join fellow Isthmian League club Farnborough Town, before being posted to Germany for two years. While still in Germany, Torrance joined Isthmian League Premier Division club Wokingham Town where, in the 1982–83 FA Cup, he scored the equaliser in a 1–1 first round draw with Third Division club Cardiff City.

Brentford
Torrance and Wokingham Town teammate (and fellow soldier) Steve Butler joined Third Division club Brentford in December 1984, with the Griffin Park club paying £400 to buy the pair out of the army. Torrance found himself used as a utility player in his early time with the Bees, playing six different positions in his first eight games. He became an integral part of the team, making 17 appearances during the 1984–85 season, though an ankle injury saw him lose his place towards the end of the campaign. Torrance was an unused substitute for the 3–1 1985 Football League Trophy Final defeat by Wigan Athletic and later recalled that failing to get onto the pitch at Wembley was his "greatest disappointment". He played on into the 1985–86 season and departed the club during the campaign, having made 44 appearances and scored three goals.

Return to non-League football
Torrance joined Alliance Premier League club Maidstone United on loan during the 1985–86 season, helping the club stave off relegation on goal difference and signed on a permanent deal at the end of the campaign. He moved to Cornwall in 1987 and joined South Western League club Falmouth Town, winning three division championships and making over 250 appearances for the club. Torrance later joined Porthleven, playing well into his 40s and serving as player-assistant manager at the club.

Representative career
In December 1986, Torrance was called upon to represent the FA XI in a match versus an Isthmian League representative team. He scored in a 4–1 victory. Despite being Scottish, Torrance appeared for England Police in a match versus Scotland in 1994, with England winning 3–0. Also playing for England was Torrance's Welsh former Brentford teammate, Gary Roberts.

Personal life
Torrance served in the Royal Engineers and later ran a residential home with his parents-in-law in St Keverne. He joined the Devon and Cornwall Constabulary in 1994, after moving to Falmouth. He was later stationed in Truro and in 2010 was based at Royal Cornwall Hospital in the town. Torrance has two children and lives in Helston.

title: Aztec rail

text:
The Aztec rail or Mexican rail, (Rallus tenuirostris) is a Near Threatened species of bird in subfamily Rallinae of family Rallidae, the rails, gallinules, and coots. It is endemic to Mexico.

Taxonomy and systematics

The Aztec rail was previously treated as conspecific with what are now the mangrove rail (R. longirostris), Ridgway's rail (R. obsoletus), the king rail (R. elegans), and the clapper rail (R. crepitans), and more recently as conspecific with the king rail. Worldwide taxonomic systems now agree that each of the five is a separate species based on a 2013 study that described their different genetics and morphologies. Many systems treat it as most closely related to Ridgway's rail.

The Aztec rail is monotypic.

Description

The Aztec rail is  long. Males weigh  and females . The sexes have similar plumage. The species has dark and light morphs. The dark morph has rich brown upperparts with blackish markings on the back. It has a pale pinkish cheek stripe and a white chin and throat. Its underparts are rufous with dull brown and white to pinkish cinnamon barring on the flanks and white undertail coverts. The light morph's underparts have a pale white center with a pinkish cinnamon wash. Juveniles have duller and darker upperparts and paler underparts than adults.

Distribution and habitat

The Aztec rail is found only in central Mexico. It inhabits both seasonal and permanent highland freshwater marshes. In elevation it ranges from  up to at least .

Behavior

Movement

The Aztec rail is mostly a year-round resident throughout its range but some apparently disperse from permanent wetlands to temporary ones during the May to September rainy season.

Feeding

The Aztec rail's principal food is crustaceans, especially crayfish, but its diet also includes molluscs, terrestrial and aquatic insects, and possibly spiders, fish, and amphibians.

Breeding

The Aztec rail's core breeding season extends from May to August but might also include April and September. One well-described nest was a dome made of spikerush (Eleocharis) within a stand of spikerush. The clutch size was five eggs.

Vocalization

The Aztec rail's courtship calls are a "loud, harsh series of 'kik' or 'kuk'" notes. Both sexes make "a series of 'chac' notes" as an "advertising call". The also give a "soft, rapid 'tuk'."

Status

The IUCN has assessed the Aztec rail as Near Threatened. It has a moderate size range that might be expanding. However, its estimated population of 15,000 mature individuals is believed to be decreasing. Its freshwater marsh habitat is "under threat from increasing agricultural, industrial and urban development".

The Shura Council of Benghazi Revolutionaries (, Majlis Shura Thuwar Benghazi) is a military coalition in Benghazi composed of Islamist and jihadist militias, including Ansar al-Sharia, Libya Shield 1, and several other groups.

History
The force was initially formed in June 2014, in response both to the anti-Islamist Operation Dignity being led by Khalifa Haftar, and also the defeat of Islamist candidates in the 2014 Council of Deputies election. Afraid of being sidelined and defeated, several Islamist brigades united under a shared umbrella. The consolidation and restructuring allowed the Islamist brigades to limit the success of Haftar's Operation Dignity, before allowing the Islamist groups to push back against the outnumbered forces allied to Haftar.

On 14 July 2014, the council claimed it had taken over Barrack 319, which is one of the largest army barracks in eastern Libya. In late July, they took control of more than five other barracks in Benghazi, including the headquarters of the Al-Saiqa Special Forces unit. On 31 July 2014, the council claimed to have had taken over Benghazi. However it lost control of much of the city to the Libyan National Army in the following months.

Mohammed Salalbi, senior leader of Libya Martyrs' Brigade, stated that the remaining SCBR fighters had retreated from Benghazi and arrived in Derna on 29 December 2017, after misleading the LNA to make their way out. Merhi al-Houti of LNA meanwhile denied that they had retreated, claiming that the army had blocked the road to areas controlled by them and had liberated the entire region from the "terrorist groups". He added that clashes had ended.

Members
As of August 2014, the council was composed of the following groups, among others:
Ansar al-Sharia (2014-2017)
Libya Shield 1 (2014-2017)
February 17th Martyrs Brigade (2014-2017)
Rafallah al-Sahati Brigade (2014-2017)
Jaysh al-Mujahidin (2014-2017)
Brega Martyrs Brigade (2014-2017)

Benghazi Defense Brigades
Formed in June 2016 to take control of Bengazi and protect the Shura Council from the Libyan National Army, the Benghazi Defence Brigades (BDB) included various Libya Dawn militias and was organized under the banner of Saddiq Al-Ghariyani.  It pledged to support the Government of National Accord (GNA). The GNA members are ambivalent about the BDB with some calling for it to be demarcated as a "terrorist organization".  It certaining has links with the jihadist militias, and is apparently opposed to the Presidential Council of the GNA, while at the same time working under Mahdi Al-Barghathi, the Defence Minister of the GNA.

Primarily the Benghazi Defence Brigades (BDB) were involved with the defense of Benghazi against both ISIS and the Libyan National Army (LNA), where they lost to the LNA. They were also involved in the 2016 offensive against ISIL's stronghold in Sirte, and occupied Ben Jawad and Nufliya on behalf of the GNA, but they withdrew when the LNA advanced into those towns.  The BDB were apparently responsible for shooting down a French helicopter that the GNA said was violating Libyan sovereignty. The French denied retaliating with airstrikes against the BDB.

The BDB are headquartered at Al Jufra Air Base, along with other GNA forces, and were attacked there by the LNA in December 2016.

title: Brian Johnston (literary researcher)

text:
Brian Johnston (14 April 1932 – 2 March 2013) was a British literary researcher, especially renowned for his works on the Norwegian dramatist Henrik Ibsen (1828–1906), including his three influential books, The Ibsen Cycle (1975, revised 1992),  To the Third Empire: Ibsen's Early Plays (1980), and Text and Supertext in Ibsen's Drama (1988).

Life and work
Brian Peter Johnston was the second child of Edward Thomas & Hilda Margaret Johnston having an elder brother and three younger sisters. Although he never married, he had very close contact with his extended family. He left school at 13, and had several unskilled jobs including reading gas meters and removing the pips from raspberry jam. He attended college in Birmingham from where he gained a place to read classics at Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge

In 1960, Johnston gained a First Class Honors Degree at Cambridge University, where he taught later in his life, holding a multitude of roles at Trondheim Lærerhøgskole (Norway),  Northwestern University, the University of California-Berkeley, the University of Amman (Jordan), Beirut University College (Lebanon), and several other institutions. He joined the faculty of the School of Drama, Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, in 1986, where he remained until his retirement in 2007.

Johnston edited the Norton Critical Edition of Ibsen's plays published in 2004. His translations of Ibsen include A Doll's House, Ghosts, Hedda Gabler, The Lady from the Sea, Rosmersholm, Emperor and Galilean, and Peer Gynt. They have been produced at major professional theatres across the United States.

His course in dramatic literature from ancient to modern drama is available online on the site Courses in Drama. The essays presented derive from a Survey of Drama Course Johnston taught at Carnegie Mellon University between 1987 and 2007. His discussions, as Johnston terms his essays, are divided into four sections:

 Greek (Athenian) Drama
 European Drama (Medieval to Spanish Golden Age)
 European Drama (Neoclassical to Romantic)
 Modern Drama – (Ibsen to 20th Century; Modern Arab Drama)

A key to understanding Brian Johnston's interpretation of Ibsen is his emphasis on the importance of the German philosopher G.W.F. Hegel's (1770–1831) influence on Ibsen's drama. In the Introduction to The Ibsen Cycle he describes his project as follows:

Storehouse of Western civilisation
Johnston insists that there are rich and wide-ranging references to the whole of Western civilisation in Ibsen's final twelve contemporary plays. He contends that the plays are structured with references to the 'three major spiritual traditions' of the West— 'the Hellenic, the Judeo-Christian, and the Germanic':

title: Libya Revolutionaries Operations Room

text:
The Libya Revolutionaries Operations Room (abbreviated LROR; ) is an armed group loyal to Nouri Abusahmain. It has been declared a terrorist organization by the Libyan parliament. It was heavily involved in the Second Libyan Civil War.

The LROR was established in 2013 by Nouri Abusahmain, who had recently been elected GNC President. He formed the LROR by uniting existing militias under his command. Its official task was to keep order in Tripoli. He allegedly misappropriated 900 million Libyan Dinars (US $720 million) to the benefit of the LROR, but this was not investigated as Abusahmain himself suppressed the inquiry. Soon after being formed, the LROR attempted an Islamist coup when the group kidnapped Prime Minister Ali Zeidan in October 2013. The LROR later set up a branch in Benghazi, purportedly to deal with the deteriorating security situation.

History

Formation and kidnapping of Prime Minister Ali Zeidan
The LROR was created in the fall of 2013 by GNC President Nouri Abusahmain, who tasked it with providing security to Tripoli. The LROR was later involved in the 10 October  kidnapping of Prime Minister Ali Zeidan, who it charged with corruption. Zeidan was later rescued the same day after the building where LROR was keeping him was surrounded by a mixture of local protesters and pro-Zeidan militias.

Attempts to disestablish
On 27 October 2013, Zeidan supporters walked out of a GNC session in protest to last minute changes to the agenda made by Abusahmain. In the changes Abusahmain cancelled a request by GNC members to disestablish the LROR, and also cancelled a request to establish a committee to investigate the allocation by Abusahmain of 900 million Libyan Dinars ($720 million) to the LROR and various other militias. The GNC members had claimed that the allocations made by Abusahmain had been against GNC rules.

On 3 November 2013, the GNC voted to withdraw the LROR's mandate to provide security for Tripoli. In response to the vote LROR forces surrounded the building where the GNC was meeting in an attempt to intimidate members of the GNC. In a compromise vote the GNC agreed to maintain the LROR's mandate for Tripoli, on the terms that the LROR was brought under the control of the General Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces.

title: Oscar Foss Memorial Library

text:
The Oscar Foss Memorial Library is the public library of Barnstead, New Hampshire. It is located in the center of town at 111 South Barnstead Road, in a single-story Colonial Revival building (listed on the National Register of Historic Places) designed by the William M. Butterfield Company of Manchester and built in 1916-17. The library was a gift of Sarah Foss in memory of her husband Oscar, a prominent local businessman who died in 1913.

Architecture and history
The Oscar Foss Memorial Library is one of several municipal buildings lining South Barnstead Road in the village of Center Barnstead; it is located on the west side of the street, opposite the town hall and Congregational church.  It is a single-story masonry structure, built out of brick with trim of wood and stone, and is covered by a hip roof with copper finials at the peak. It is three bays wide and two deep, with a central entrance set in a recess below a pedimented gable studded with modillion blocks. The recess has flanking columns and corner quoins.  The windows on either side of the entry are topped by splayed stone lintels with keystones, and have upper sashes divided into triangular panes.  The interior is organized with the main reading room to the left, the former town offices to the right, and a traditional central librarian's desk in the center.

The town of Barnstead voted in 1892 to establish a public library. It was at first housed either in private homes or stores and was at one point divided into small collections located in each of the town's four villages. The collection was consolidated into one room of a private house in Center Barnstead in 1906, with the need for a permanent home apparent. This building was given to the town by Sarah Foss, in memory of her husband, and was dedicated in 1917. It was designed by William M. Butterfield, an architect based in Manchester, and is one of the finest examples of Classical Revival architecture in the New Hampshire Lakes Region.  It was largely unaltered until 1970, when the basement was finished for use as a community space. In 1979 the town offices moved out, and the space was adapted as a children's reading room, with woodwork and shelving carefully matched to the existing finishes. A major modern addition was made to the rear of the building in 2000.

title: Atomos (album)

text:
Atomos is the second album by ambient music duo A Winged Victory for the Sullen. The album was released on October 6, 2014 on the labels Erased Tapes and Kranky.

The album contains the music from Atomos, a dance piece by choreographer Wayne McGregor and his company Wayne McGregor Random Dance. The music was recorded in Summer 2013, in studios in Brussels, Berlin and Reykjavik. Regarding the recording process, pianist Dustin O'Halloran has commented: "We never imagined 2013 would be such an explosively creative year. The first record took us two years from start to finish, but in the micro span of time over last summer we were able to change the formula for the way we write, record, and let go. It was incredibly liberating." The dance piece premiered at Sadler's Wells, London, on 9 October 2013.

The album was preceded by the Atomos VII EP, which was released on April 28, 2014. Besides the title track, the EP also contained 'Minuet For A Cheap Piano Number One' (an outtake from the A Winged Victory for the Sullen album sessions) and a reinterpretation of 'Atomos VII' by Australian composer Ben Frost.

title: William Cheever

text:
William Cheever ( 1086) (alias Chievre) (Latinised to Capra, "she-goat", from French chèvre) was one of the 52 Devon Domesday Book tenants-in-chief of King William the Conqueror. He held 46 landholdings in Devon. His lands later formed (together with three of the four Devonshire estates of Ralph de Limesy), the feudal barony of Bradninch, Devon. His brother was Ralph de Pomeroy, feudal baron of Berry Pomeroy, Devon, with whom several of his holdings had been divided into two parts, one for each brother. His sister was Beatrix, who held from him the manor of Southleigh.

Succession
It is not known whether Cheever married and left progeny; however, his estates escheated to the crown during the reign of King Henry I (1100–1135), who granted them to his own illegitimate son William I de Tracy (died  1136).

title: Gymnasium bei St. Anna

text:
The Gymnasium bei St. Anna is a school in Augsburg, Bavaria, Germany, founded in 1531 and still active.

History
The school was founded in 1531 by the then  predominantly Evangelical Council of the City of Augsburg as a counterweight to the Catholic cathedral and monastery schools. It was to persuade the noble families of the city about an alternative to education of their children. The prevailing practice was to hire private tutors, many of them incompetent and outmoded. St Anne Gymnasium was the school to be trusted to educate new leaders for the Protestant town. The students were from the age 7 to 16 and taught in nine classes: the literature, introduction to the dialectic ( logic), and rhetoric based on the ancient Greek and Latin, a little Hebrew. There were also teachers competent in Mathematics, Music and Calligraphy.  On the other hand, the school lacked any instruction in German and the modern foreign languages.

The first Rector of the Gymnasium was a German playwright, Sixtus Birck (1536-1554.) Under his leadership the school acquired an excellent reputation as a reformed and progressive institution. This tradition was further developed under Hieronymus Wolf’s  leadership who recruited an outstanding faculty to tech at the Gymnasium including Georg Henisch
