title: Azerbaijani rock

text:
Azerbaijani rock () is a wide variety of forms of rock music made in Azerbaijan or by artists of Azerbaijani descent.

History

Soviet Era
Rock was greatly restricted for most of the period Azerbaijan was under Soviet rule, being viewed by the CPSU as a Western anti-socialist influence. Among the most recognized groups of the Soviet era were Coldünya, Yuxu, Eksulap and Khurramids.

60s-70s
1960s was the period when Azerbaijani rock was formed. Leading bands of this period were namely Eskulap (1966), Khurramids (1969), Express-118, Pazavang and Uvet which were mainly playing soft rock and blues. Khurramids performed live in festival dedicated to 51st establishment of Azerbaijan State University with a cover version of "I can't get no" by Rolling Stones in 1970. Following first decade of Azerbaijani rock, 70s gave rise to jazz rock with ethnic elements. Cürbəcür was founded by Jahangir Garayev, elder brother of Abulfas Garayev in 1970. Other notable bands were Məşəl (Torch), Brevis (1971) and Üç Alov (Three Flames). However, main driving force were considered Experiment-OK (1967) and Ashiqlar (1973). Jazz fusion era ended with "ASU Physics faculty band" (1972) according to Hikmat Hajizadeh (former ambassador of Azerbaijan to Russia) who played solo guitars back then.

Meanwhile, in Sumgayit, Miraj and Rovesnik bands were active.

1980s
The later 1970s were largely silent and few bands survived political restrictions. The early 1980s saw soft rock band Günel and Polad Bulbuloglu's emergence as Ashiqlar vocalist. The latter gained union-wide popularity and toured RSFSR and Mongolia, gave concerts in Afghanistan. Other successful band was Talisman which was a part of supergroup Gaya. Band played live in Moscow, during 12th World Festival of Youth and Students in 1985.

Later 80s saw emergence of many bands due to establishment of Baku Youth Modern Music Center. Weqibond was one of these bands founded by Ibrahim Emin who would later found Yuxu. Years after first festival was held in Baku on 1 May 1988 - "Rock Panorama".

"Rock Panorama 2" festival was held in 1989, which was larger than its predecessor. About 30 bands took part including Qrimsiz (Makeupless), Faust, Neysan, İz (Trail), Terminal, Reportaj, Charley ATL, Minaret, etc. Soft rock band Günel was renamed into Aksiya (Action).

Post-Soviet Era

90s
Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, the rock audience in Azerbaijan started slowly to grow and groups like Unformal gained popularity among local fans. Sumgayit was credited as the main regional driving force behind these rock bands of the 1990s, including Yuxu, Spark, Miraj, Mozalan, and Sirr. Other active bands were Industry, NemO, P.G.L.U. Project, Fatal Nation, Taj.

2000s
Being more connected to Western music and availability of instruments compared to Soviet Union, 2000s saw many bands being formed including 3.14. New bands like Ferrum, The Nails, Pro'n'Con, Mechanic Fist and numerous others were fast to rise, however most of them quickly dissolved after formation. Hard rock band Bəndə hailing from Sumgayit was founded in 2008.

2010s
Azerbaijani rock scene gained momentum after 2010. New genres including heavy metal, metalcore and black metal received positive responses. Silence Lies Fear, Meridian, Sirat, Tengri, Vozmezdie, The Midnight, Orient Express were exclusively successful. Pagan black metal band Üör was founded in 2011. Sadnos which was founded by Sasha Goncharov is still one of active projects. Stoner bands including Lavatory Service and Pyraweed are also considered main influence in rock scene.

In 2014, Tuborg GreenFest was held in Baku. It was the largest rock festival in the country's history.

Northern Dimension Environmental Partnership (NDEP) tackles special issues arising from the northern environment: protection of waters (the Baltic Sea and the Barents Sea) and nuclear safety and such special issues as waste management and district heating projects. The NDEP was established in 2001. It seeks to strengthen funding and to channel it to important cross-border environmental projects in the Northern Dimension region.

The NDEP Support Fund was set up on the initiative of International Financial Institutions to support the partnership; contributors to the Fund are the European Commission, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Netherlands, Norway, Russia, Sweden and the United Kingdom. Donor contributions to the NDEP Support Fund by 2013 totalled EUR 342 million, of which EUR 177 million had been allocated to environmental projects and EUR 165 million to nuclear safety projects.

The NDEP Support Fund is financing environmental and energy-efficiency projects in North-West Russia and Kaliningrad and nuclear waste projects especially in the Kola Peninsula. The most concrete example of the environmental projects is the construction of the St Petersburg Wastewater Treatment Plants, which mean that 98.4% of the wastewater discharges into the Gulf of Finland will be treated. Cooperation is active also with Belarus, which is one of the countries in the Baltic Sea catchment area. In the nuclear safety sector, projects include treatment of radioactive waste and safe storage of spent nuclear fuel.

Contributors to the NDEP are IFIs operating in the region, such as the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the Nordic Investment Bank (NIB) and the Nordic Environment Finance Corporation (NEFCO).

title: Treasure of Lima: A Buried Exhibition

text:
Treasure of Lima: A Buried Exhibition was an art project curated by Nadim Samman for the Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary Academy, which took place on Isla del Coco (Cocos Island), a remote, protected island in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Costa Rica. Works by forty artists were placed inside a chest and buried in a secret location on the island, the pirate history of which inspired Robert Louis Stevenson’s novel Treasure Island.

Background
Isla del Coco is the historical source of many legends relating to buried treasure. The best-known is that of the Treasure of Lima. In 1820, with the army of José de San Martín approaching Lima, Viceroy José de la Serna entrusted the treasures of the city to British trader Captain William Thompson for safekeeping, until the Spaniards could secure the country. Instead of waiting in the harbour as they were instructed, Thompson and his crew killed the Viceroy’s men and sailed to Isla del Coco, where they buried the treasure. Shortly afterwards, they were apprehended by a Spanish warship. Thompson and his first mate said they would show the Spaniards where they had hidden the treasure, in return for their lives. However, after landing on the island they escaped into the forest. A large number of attempts have been made to find the treasure, but none has succeeded.

The project
The art project consisted of a vacuum-sealed container containing artworks by forty artists, buried at a secret location. The contents of the container included works on paper, sculpture, vinyl LPs, digital video and audio files. The container was a truncated tetrahedron made of stainless steel that opened to reveal a second spherical container made of glass. Within that vacuum-sealed sphere were a series of aluminium boxes housing the artworks.

Artists represented in the project included Marina Abramović, Doug Aitken, Darren Almond, Angela Bulloch, Los Carpinteros, Phil Collins, Constant Dullaart, Olafur Eliasson, Carl Michael von Hausswolff,  Pierre Huyghe,  Sharon Lockhart, Carsten Nicolai, Raymond Pettibon, Lari Pittman, Jon Rafman,  Matthew Ritchie, Ed Ruscha, Chicks on Speed,  Ryan Trecartin, Chris Watson, and Lawrence Weiner.

The container was buried on Cocos Island in May 2014, by an expedition led by art collector and patron Francesca von Habsburg.

The GPS coordinates of the exhibition location were given to the Dutch artist Constant Dullaart, who worked with a cryptographer to encode them. The resulting string of code was then engraved on a steel cylinder and encased within a replica of the treasure chest, which was sold at an auction in November 2014. The proceeds from the auction were donated to the marine protection of Cocos Island.

title: Arthur Annesley (1760–1841)

text:
Arthur Annesley (1760 - 20 January 1841) was a British land-owner and a Member of Parliament for Oxford from 1790 to 1796.

Early life and family

Arthur Annesley was born in 1760 and baptised on 16 August 1760, the eldest son of Arthur Annesley of Bletchington, Oxfordshire, who died in February 1773, and his wife, Elizabeth Baldwin.

He married, on 1 February 1785, Catherine Hardy, daughter of Admiral Sir Charles Hardy, and had the following children together:

 The Right Honourable Arthur Annesley, tenth Viscount Valentia (1785 - 1863). He inherited the Viscountcy of Valentia from a distant cousin. He married, 12 August 1808, Eleanor, daughter of Henry Stafford O'Brien of Blatherwycke Park and had issue.
 Reverend Charles Annesley Francis Annesley (1787 - 1863).
 Catherine Elizabeth Annesley (1791 - 1759). She married, on 4 May 1814, the Rev. the Hon. John Evelyn Boscawen, Canon of Canterbury, and had issue.
 Barbara Caroline Annesley (1797 - 1883). She married, on 15 October 1814, Thomas Tyrwhitt-Drake, MP for Amersham, and had issue.
 Mary Annesley (1800 - 1827) married on 7 August 1826, the Rev. John Tyrwhitt-Drake, Rector of Amersham.
 Lucy Susan Martha Annesley (born 1801).
 Francis Annesley (died 1811).
 James Annesley (died 1828).
 George Martin Annesley (died 1824). Died while in the military service of the East India Company.
 Charlotte Annesley (died 1806).

Public service and later life

Annesley served as Sheriff of Oxfordshire for a year, beginning in 1784. In 1790, the Hon. Peregrine Bertie, brother of the fourth Earl of Abingdon, died shortly after being elected MP for Oxford earlier that year. The freemen of the borough sponsored Annesley, who was connected with Lord Abingdon. The election was a relatively easy victory for Annesley, who did not spend on it, and whose only opposition, in the form of George Ogilvie, came from a minority of freemen and has been described as "feeble and opportunist". Annesley won by 618 votes, to Ogilvie's 103.

He supported the Government of William Pitt the younger, but left relatively mark on Parliament's history, being recorded voting on only a handful of occasions, including on the Test Act in Scotland. He was defeated at the 1796 election by a London merchant, Henry Peters, who is estimated to have spent £10,000 on the election. It is possible that it was Annesley who supported John Ingram Lockhart to stand (unsuccessfully) in 1802 in an effort to oust Peters.

He never returned to Parliament, although he remained active in local politics, in 1806, for instance, he opposed the Duke of Marlborough's candidate for Oxford. He died on 20 January 1841, aged 80.

title: Alexander Bogen

text:
Alexander Bogen (; born 24 January 1916 – 20 October 2010) was a Polish-Israeli visual artist, a decorated leader of partisans during World War II, a key player in 20th century Yiddish culture, and one of the trailblazers for art education and Artists' associations in the emerging state of Israel.

Biography
Alexander Bogen was born in Tartu, Estonia and brought up in Wilno. As a young boy he adhered to the values of the Yiddish culture of Yung Vilne, as well as to the modern Polish culture. After completing his studies at the gymnasium, he was accepted to the Stefan Batory art academy affiliated with the Wilno University, where he studied painting and sculpture. His parents were physicians. His father came from a secular family and his mother was the daughter of Rabbi Tuvia Lobitzki, the rabbi of Wołkowysk, Poland. His studies were interrupted by World War II. Bogen joined the partisans and became a commander of the Jewish partisan unit in the Narocz Forests. He buried many of the drawings he made at this time near Lake Narocz. He returned to the ghetto in September 1943 and helped to facilitate the rescue of members of the United Partisan Organization (FPO), a Jewish underground movement active in the ghetto and led by poet Abba Kovner, Bogen's school friend.

When the Vilna Ghetto was about to be destroyed, Bogen and his partisans tried to rescue some key people, one of whom was Abraham Sutzkever. With the help of the soviet partisans, they managed to finally smuggle him into Moscow along with some of Bogen's drawings, which were eventually exhibited in Moscow

According to the  "Russian State Archive of literature and art” (RGALI), he was head of the Department of Arts of the Lithuanian SSR from: 5 September 1944 - February 1945.

After the war Bogen returned to his studies, finished his academic degree and was mastered as an artist of monumental painting at the USB Academy of Art in Vilna. In 1947, he taught as a professor at The Academy of Fine Arts In Łódź and became a well-known artist, set designer and book illustrator.

Alongside his recognition as a Polish Artist and war hero, receiving several accolades and awards as well as a large retrospective exhibition (Łódź State Museum, 1950) – Bogen was also very active in the resuscitation of the cultural life of the Jewish Community in post war Poland.

In 1951, Bogen and his wife immigrated to Israel and settled in Tel Aviv.

During his time in Israel, Bogen continued his cultural and educational activities in the arts. In 1957 he initiated the art program in WIZO France – Ironi Yud-Dalet high school in Tel Aviv and lead it for 22 years. Bogen completed his academic studies of art at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris and was an art lecturer in the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. Bogen continued painting, drawing and sculpting until his death at the age of 94 in Tel Aviv on 20 October 2010.

In July 2018, Mayor Ron Huldai, on behalf of the city of Tel Aviv, has inaugurated a Memorial plaque in Bogen's honor on the house where he lived and worked.

Resistance through art

Bogen continued to draw during the war, documenting what he saw: "We saw abandoned children. We saw people being led to the slaughter.

I did not lay down my pencil for a moment.

An artist condemned to death portraying people condemned to extermination...

I sketched the forest, my brothers-in-arms, the battle itself. There was no table. There were no paints. There was no paper.

I found packing paper. I made ink from blueberries, fixer out of pulverized milk and burnt dry branches for charcoal for my sketches.

I asked myself why I was drawing, when I was fighting day and night…

This was something similar to biological continuation. Every man, every people, is interested in continuing his people, his family,

in bringing children into the world for the future – in leaving this one thing.

Another motivation was to get information to the so-called free world,

but mostly Being creative during the Holocaust was also a show of protest -

people facing brutal danger, facing death, react in their own different way.

the artist's reaction is artistic. This is his weapon."

title: Robert Asa Todd

text:
Robert Asa Todd (March 5, 1870 – March 4, 1943) was a California and Arizona journalist who became a member of the Los Angeles City Council in 1898–1904 and then a deputy city attorney for Los Angeles, California.

Personal
Todd was born on March 5, 1870, in San Bernardino, California, the son of Asa Todd of Los Angeles and Mary Caroline Phyne of Virginia. He was taken to Los Angeles as a child, and he attended Los Angeles High School on Fort Moore Hill and Woodbury's Business College in Los Angeles.

He was married in 1896 at age 28 in Immanuel Presbyterian Church to Minnie F. Reinert of Los Angeles, age 22. They had one child, Frances (Mrs. Howard Torkelson).

Todd was a life member of Al Malaikah Shrine, a director of the Los Angeles County Pioneer Society and president of Ramona Parlor, Native Sons of the Golden West, of which he was president in 1898.

Todd died on March 4, 1943, at Queen of Angels Hospital after an operation, leaving his widow, Helen G. Todd of 1710 West Sixth Street, and a daughter, Frances Torkelson of San Antonio, Texas, and two grandchildren. Interment was in Inglewood Park Mausoleum.

Vocation

Journalism

In 1889, Todd was the Los Angeles City Hall reporter for the Los Angeles Star, then moved to Tucson, Arizona, where he for two years he was city editor for the Tucson Star. Afterward, he was a reporter with the San Diego Union, and in 1893 he returned to Los Angeles, where he became city editor for the Los Angeles Express. Los Angeles Mayor Meredith P. Snyder made Todd his secretary and clerk in 1896.

Politics

In Arizona, Todd was the secretary of the Arizona Territorial Democratic Convention and a member of the executive committee of the Democratic Central Committee of Pima County.

Todd was elected to the Los Angeles City Council in 1898, representing the 8th Ward; he served until 1904. On the council, he sponsored a measure that would have established a hospital in the city to treat smallpox cases. "It is an injustice to quarantine a whole boarding or lodging house because a case of smallpox has been discovered.. . . . The city has spent enough money in guard hire in the last year to more than pay for the erection of a detention hospital."

Legal practice

While in the City Council, Todd studied privately under the direction of W. B. Matthews, who was then the city attorney. On October 25, 1903, he was admitted to the California State Bar, having passed a "stiff" examination before the California Supreme Court. He was examined by Justice Walter Van Dyke and was vouched for by attorneys Herbert Goudge, Mathews, W.E. Dunn and Frank Flint.

One of the notable cases he argued as a private attorney was in opposition to the initiative section of a new Los Angeles city charter, which, he said, was unconstitutional "in that it attempts to provide for legislation by a direct vote of the people instead of by representatives of the people elected for that purpose and is therefore inconsistent with a republican form of government."

He also represented twelve of the 26 "Japanese" who appeared before the city's police commission to seek restaurant liquor licenses.  He suggested that the secretary of the Japanese Association, "which represents the better element of Japanese," be consulted.

In 1933 or 1936 he became a deputy city attorney. He retired in March 1940.

title: Chatham and Clarendon Grammar School

text:
Chatham & Clarendon Grammar School is a co-educational grammar school in Ramsgate, Kent, England, formed as a result of the merger of the boys-only Chatham House Grammar School and girls-only Clarendon House Grammar School in September 2011.

Chatham and Clarendon Grammar School is based across three main sites. The Chatham House site is where Year 7, 8 and 9 students are based, whereas Year 10 and 11 are based at the Clarendon House site. The Sixth Form Centre is where the Sixth Form students are based, but regularly have lessons across all three sites.

History
Chatham House was officially founded in 1797 by Dr William Humble along Chatham Street, although there is some evidence of existence prior to its formal establishment. Clarendon House was founded in 1905 on the first floor of the old police station.

Merger
The two Ramsgate schools, Clarendon House and Chatham House, had often partnered with each other for activities such as instrumental bands, choirs, an annual theatre production and field trips. Both were single sex until fifth form then allowed both boys and girls to enter in the sixth form. In the sixth form the two schools, actually within ten minutes' walk of each other, some AS and A level subjects were taught jointly by both schools, such as Music and Music Technology; or by one school. Drama that was taught at Clarendon but available to Chatham House students, while Sport Science was taught at Chatham House, but available to Clarendon House students. Clarendon House, however, was under-subscribed: Chatham House being over-subscribed.

The two schools federated in January 2011 to become a Converter Academy. bringing greater control over admissions, site & buildings, curriculum development and much-needed additional income.  Then, in spring 2011, it was announced that the schools would work together as one school. Year 7, 8 and 9 pupils would be based at Chatham House and year 10 and 11 pupils would be based at the former Clarendon House. The sixth-form centre would be based on both sites with all lessons being split between them. In this intermediate stage, Year 9 was moved to the lower school while the decisions about the sites were being taken.

Academics
Virtually all maintained schools and academies follow the National Curriculum, and are inspected by Ofsted on how well they succeed in delivering a 'broad and balanced curriculum'. Schools endeavour to get all students to achieve the English Baccalaureate (EBACC) qualification- this must include core subjects, a modern or ancient foreign language, and either History or Geography. Schools are obliged to publish the philosophy governing their curriculum on their website.

Key Stage 3 (Years 7-9)
Key stage 3 is taught on the Chatham House site.

Within KS3, all students study in single sex classes with some ability setting in Mathematics and within the Year 9 Science syllabus.

All students study English, Mathematics, Science, Design & Food Technology, Geography, History, Art, Computer Science, Physical Education & Games, Religion and Philosophy, Music, Drama and PSHE. In Year 7 all students study French, and students in Year 8 and 9 study French and Spanish.

Key Stage 4 GCSE (Years 10-11)
This schools offers a variety of GCSE-Level qualifications. All students take core subjects, whilst also selecting others from their preference with the requirement of taking at least one language and one humanity.

Core Subjects

Option Subjects

All students by default will take the Higher Tier option of their GCSE course, if applicable, but for struggling students the Foundation Tier option is made available to them.

When Students select their option subjects, they have four options (Language Option, Option 1, Option 2, and Option 3). The language option must be either French or Spanish, and there must be a humanity subject in Options 1 - 3 (Geography, History, or Religious Studies). Students are also able to take both French and Spanish if they wish, by indicating so in the Language Option and in one of Options 1 - 3.

Key Stage 5 (Years 12-13)
The Sixth Form at this school offers a considerably large range of subjects, with 25 A-Level courses and 6 Vocational courses. Sixth Form students generally tend to study three courses, however do have the option to take more.

Entry Requirements
In order for a student to study three or four Advanced Level subjects, they must achieve at least 5x Grade 6s at GCSE. In order for a student to study a double Level 3 Vocational course, and one or two Advanced Levels, they must achieve at least 3x Grade 5s and 2x Grade 6s a GCSE. Where relevant, a student will need a Grade 6 in a subject to study the same subject at the Sixth Form. Students are expected to continue their chosen subjects until the end of Year 13.

There are special rules or exceptions for subject options for students. It is not possible to study (Biology or Chemistry or Physics) and Applied Science. Students must achieve a Grade 7 in Mathematics at GCSE to study it at Advanced Level, and a Grade 8 in Mathematics at GCSE to study Further Mathematics at Advanced Level.

Students studying Further Mathematics will normally undertake the Mathematics Advanced Level exams at the end of Year 12.

House System
As the two schools became one, the house systems needed to change as Clarendon House had four houses for the entire school with Chatham having four different houses in the lower and upper school.

As a result of student voting, from September 2011, the new houses consisted of Thomas-Sharman (TS), Rothschild-Pearce (RP), Mann-Somerville (MS) and Knight-Heath (KH), double-barrelled amalgamations of old Chatham and Clarendon house names. It was announced that the new house colours would be Red, Silver, Gold and Blue.

House Competitions

There is an annual House Competition within the school as the four different houses compete in competitions to increase their total score. The house with the greatest score at the end of each academic year is the winning house.

Note: KH - Knight-Health, MS - Mann-Sommerville, RP - Rothschild-Pearce, TS - Thomas-Sharman

Awards System
In both Schools, as a form of award, teachers may give out rewards known as Achievement Points or Commendations. Depending on the amount which a pupil has, there are various certificates which are given, and also a prize in the form of a pin badge, which students can wear on their uniform. Below are the awards which pupils may receive, and the higher the commendations needed, usually the harder it is to obtain the specific certificate.

Note that some houses repeat the commendation certificates for a second, third or possibly fourth round if pupils gain 100 commendations - which warrants a Red Certificate No. 2. However, not all houses do this and some just keep to the standard seven certificates.

title: Egg drop syndrome

text:
Egg drop syndrome '76 (EDS '76) is a viral disease that affects birds, notably chickens, ducks, geese and swans. It is characterised by a sudden drop in production of eggs as well as its eggshell quality in apparent healthy laying birds.

Previously, this disease was commonly named as merely "egg drop syndrome"; however, it is now recommended that full name, egg drop syndrome '76 (EDS '76), should be used to distinguish the name discrepancy from the recently identified disease in ducks caused by a flavivirus, which is confusingly called "egg drop syndrome in ducks" or "duck egg drop syndrome".

Incidence
EDS '76 was first identified in Netherlands in 1974 and the virus was first isolated in Northern Ireland in 1976. It became a problem in European countries such as Ireland, the Netherlands, France, and the United Kingdom. Other places which have had outbreaks include India, Bangladesh, South America, Indonesia, Japan, and Africa. Since then, EDS '76 has been recognised as a global threat for the breeding and laying companies.

Cause
EDS '76 is caused by double stranded-DNA virus, called Duck Atadenovirus A (formerly knows as Duck Adenovirus A). The diameter of the virus is between 70 and 80 nm by negative staining.

The other name of this virus may include duck adenovirus 1 (DAdV-1), EDS '76 virus (EDSV) and adenovirus 127 (AV-127).

Species affected
The natural host of Duck atadenovirus A are wild and/or domestic waterfowls such as ducks and geese. However, the virus can also infect other bird species through contaminated vaccines, and contaminated drinking water by droppings.

Moreover, the virus become apparent and more susceptible in chickens of all ages and breeds, especially broilers and brown egg layers. The virus also causes symptoms in Japanese quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica) and turkeys.

Transmission
Duck atadenovirus A can be transmitted vertically (from hens to chicks). The virus is often latent until the chicks reach maturity. Thereafter, the matured chickens begin to excrete virus and transmit through the eggs and droppings.

The virus is also transmitted horizontally between chickens. Mainly, it is seen in commercial egg layers whereby contaminated egg trays are often reused. The virus can survive both inside the eggs and on the eggshell. The virus can migrate from the eggshell to the tray and back to the other eggs placed in the same tray. Contaminated water supply with droppings and litters of the natural host contributes to the horizontal spread as well.

Insect transmission is possible yet unproven.

Sign and symptoms
The first sign of EDS '76 is usually the loss of colour pigment in the eggs, followed by the production of thin-shelled, soft-shelled and even shell-less eggs. The thin-shelled and shell-less eggs are so fragile and thus may get eaten by the chickens and get disregarded as litters. The shells may also be rough or chalky. Watery egg whites and a reduction in egg size may also happen as well.

The affected chicken flocks show a failure to reach a peak egg production. The fall in egg production can be up to 40%. The affected chickens may show transient diarrhoea, anaemia, and loss of appetite. Increase in mortality is not observed.

Lesions
The lesions are confined to female reproductive tracts. These may include inactive ovaries and shrunken oviducts, swelling and white exudate in the shell gland. Spleen enlargement may also be observed.

Diagnosis and detection
EDS '76 can largely be distinguished from other poultry diseases, such as Avian Influenza, Infectious Bronchitis and Newcastle Disease, by the clinical findings alone. However, proper laboratory testing is still needed to eliminate doubts for a definitive diagnosis.

Serological testing can determine if chicken have antibodies against EDS '76, which would indicate that they have been infected. This is only possible for non-vaccinated chickens because vaccination or infection both cause antibodies to be present. The common tests of choice include Haemaglutination-Inhibition, Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay and Serum Neutralisation.

The use of sentinel birds (non-vaccinated susceptible birds) in the flocks is also useful for early detection and tested for haemagglutination. It is common practice for poultry viruses' surveillance.

Identification of the virus can also be detected by Polymerase Chain Reaction-based test.

Treatment and prevention
There is no treatment for EDS '76, but there are ways in which chickens can be prevented from being infected by EDS '76.

Hygiene:

Cleaning all areas, such as breeding and laying areas, and equipment may mitigate the risk of getting EDS '76. Shared egg trays have to be cleaned and disinfected prior to use. Healthy and uninfected flocks should be kept separated from infected birds and from the virus' natural host. Potentially contaminated water should also be chlorinated.

Vaccination:

An inactivated vaccine with oil adjuvant can be administered and has proven to be reasonably successful to prevent the clinical signs of the disease. This vaccine is given before hens start to lay eggs, usually between 14 and 20 weeks of age. Several vaccines are available: Izovac EDS, Nobilis EDS, AVIVAC-EDS-76 and other EDS '76 available vaccines.

title: Berthold II von Katzenelnbogen

text:
Berthold II von Katzenelnbogen () was a German nobleman of the family of the Counts of Katzenelnbogen and a participant in the Fourth Crusade (1202–04), who became lord of Velestino (1205–17) and regent of the Kingdom of Thessalonica (1217) in Frankish Greece. He was a patron of poets and in politics a Ghibelline.

Fourth Crusade

Born sometime before 1183, Berthold was the son of Berthold I of Katzenelnbogen and nephew of the powerful bishop of Münster, Hermann II (1173–1202). Berthold joined the court of his uncle, and is attested as being with him at Worms in February 1199, after Hermann had joined the court of King Philip of Germany. Disappointed with the political disunity and civil war in the Holy Roman Empire in the aftermath of Philip's 1198 election as king, Berthold joined the Fourth Crusade in 1202. He arrived at the Crusader camp after the Crusaders had besieged and captured Zara (Zadar) in Hungary. Like most of the German contingent, he was placed under the command of the Marquis Boniface of Montferrat, with whom he developed a close personal relationship. In 1203, when the Crusader army reached Constantinople, capital of the Byzantine Empire, the German contingent was under the overall command of Henry of Flanders, with whom Berthold developed a good relationship. On 12 April 1204, after the breach of Constantinople by the Crusaders, a certain German count (quidam comes theothonicus), possibly Berthold, set fire to a section of the city in order to force the defending Byzantines to retire.

After the fall of the Byzantine Empire, Count Baldwin IX of Flanders was proclaimed the new Latin Emperor. This offended Boniface, who considered himself a superior candidate, and he briefly rebelled against the new emperor. Berthold supported Boniface in his brief revolt, and after Boniface was placated with a new Kingdom of Thessalonica, Berthold accompanied Boniface in his conquest of Greece (1204–05). He was rewarded with a lordship centred on the town of Velestino in the province of Vlachia (provintia Velechative), with the title "Lord of Velestino" (dominus de Valestino). In 1205, he was sent by Pope Innocent III to a diplomatic mission in Asia Minor to mediate in a dispute between King Leo II of Armenia and Prince Bohemond IV of Antioch. After that he may have gone on to the Kingdom of Jerusalem. A certain count Berthold the German is mentioned in documents of 1206 and 1207 in the entourage of John of Ibelin, regent of the kingdom, but this may have been Count Berthold of Nimburg.

Defence of the Kingdom of Thessalonica
Berthold returned to Greece in 1207 or 1208. In the meantime, Boniface of Montferrat had been killed fighting against the Bulgarians, and had left his underage son Demetrius as his heir, with the latter's mother, Margaret of Hungary, as regent and Count Oberto II of Biandrate as guardian (baiulus) of the kingdom. In 1208–09, the kingdom's barons, rejecting the suzerainty of the emperor, now Henry of Flanders, rose against the regent in the so-called "Lombard Rebellion". Led by Oberto, the rebels intended to depose Demetrius and install his elder half-brother, William VI of Montferrat, as king. During the uprising, Berthold loyally supported the emperor and was named as castellan of Serres. After the emperor arrested Oberto, he handed him over to Berthold, who held him imprisoned in Serres. Berthold supported Boniface's policy of maintaining good relations with the Byzantine aristocracy, as against the preferred policy of the rebels, which was to favour Lombards in the government. Berthold even patronised the family of Petraliphas, giving the monastery of Saint Hilarion near Halmyros to Maria Petraliphaina.

In 1209, Berthold attended the first Parliament of Ravennika. On 2 May 1210, he signed the concordat with the church reached at the second Parliament of Ravennika. It appears that around this time the Emperor Henry appointed him imperial guardian or regent of the kingdom, balivus imperatoris, to replace Oberto. Berthold was certainly in charge of the defence of the kingdom, along with the emperor's nephew, Eustace of Flanders. He defeated an attack by Strez, nephew of the Bulgarian tsar Kaloyan, on the plains of Pelagonia, near Monastir. In 1211, he defeated Kaloyan's successor and Strez's rival, Tsar Boril of Bulgaria, and caused him heavy losses. A letter of the emperor mentioning these victories is dated 12 January 1212. In 1213, the emperor refers to Berthold as merely one of his barons in the kingdom of Thessalonica, implying that he was not at that time guardian or regent.

Regent of the kingdom
Berthold had a close relationship with Margaret of Hungary. In 1211, however, the Latin archbishop of Heraclea Perinthus complained to Pope Innocent III that Berthold forcefully kept Margaret in his possession, and that he had misappropriated lands belonging to the church of Hagia Sophia in Thessalonica. Berthold received correspondence from Innocent regarding the Latin Church in Thessalonica. In July 1210, Innocent wrote asking him to restore the possessions of the diocese of Larissa and Gardiki. On 4 August 1211, he was reproached for his occupation of lands belonging to Hagia Sophia. In 1212, the pope asked Berthold to intervene on behalf of the diocese of Gardiki in its dispute with the Knights Hospitaller. The wording of these papal letters has engendered confusion over whether Berthold was himself the "imperial bailiff" (balivus imperatoris) the pope was addressing or else merely the lord of Velestino.

Berthold is explicitly mentioned as regent—baiulus regni Thessalonicensis— only once: in a letter of 21 April 1217 from Pope Honorius III, notifying him of his appointment of Giovanni Colonna as papal legate to Thessalonica. This is also the last sure reference to Berthold; he is not mentioned in any other contemporary source after this. A late source says that he visited Acre in the Kingdom of Jerusalem later that year and from there returned to Germany. Around 1220, Berthold's nephew and heir, Count Diether IV, visited Thessalonica, perhaps to see his uncle or else claim his inheritance.

title: Forever After

text:
Forever After is the second studio album from Christian musician and singer V. Rose. The album released on May 20, 2014 by Clear Sight Music, and it was produced by Lamontt Blackshire. The album currently has received three positive reviews, and it charted on two Billboard charts.

Background
This album is the successor to V. Rose's eponymously-titled debut studio album that came out in 2011. Forever After was released by Clear Sight Music on May 20, 2014. It was produced by Lamontt Blackshire.

Music and lyrics
The music on Forever After is described as CCM, EDM, electropop, contemporary R&B, and hip hop. The music contains a lyrical focus on "waiting for that one day when there will be no more pain, sadness, or tears", with the songstress taking a "lyrically encouraging direction."

Critical reception

At Jesus Freak Hideout, Kevin Hoskins rated the album four stars out of five, remarking how "V. Rose is a rather unique pop vocalist and this album carries the weight to be played at house parties with the focus being entirely centered on Christ." However, Hoskins criticizing the sections where she "trades in vocal quality for volume, detracting from her clear talent." Caitlin Elizabeth Lassiter of New Release Tuesday rated the album four stars out of five, indicating how "Forever After boasts some impressive collaborations, pairing up the vocal techniques of V. Rose with the rap stylings of artists like Flame, Shonlock, and da T.R.U.T.H." At Wade-O Radio, Branden Murphy gave a positive review, highlighting the release as "a top quality project with great production, uplifting messages, and a Christ honoring direction." In a two star review by CCM Magazine, Grace S. Aspinwall cautioning, "With its smart, though not fantastic, vocals and arrangements, this is definitely worth a listen." Tony Cummings, rating the album a five out of ten from Cross Rhythms, writes, "But in truth 'Forever After' falls between the pop and hip-hop fields and won't satisfy many followers of either."

Commercial performance
For the Billboard charting week of June 7, 2014, Forever After charted as the No. 28 most sold album in the Christian Albums market, and it was the No. 16 most sold album in the breaking-and-entry market via the Heatseekers Albums.
