4. Anavlochos – Current research
The micro-regional context as well as the remains revealed by these first investigations made Anavlochos an exceptional case study in order to document the transitional period from the palaces to the city-states in the Mirabello area. This is the reason why the EFA started new research in 2015, under the direction of F. Gaignerot-Driessen.
As a first step of investigation, a two-year (2015-2016) archaeological, topographical and geomorphological survey of 150 ha of the massif located the remains indicated by Demargne and clarified the extent, nature and chronology of ancient occupation. This started at the end of Late Minoan IIIB (Table 1), when small hamlets were settled in a dispersed way all over the ridge. In Protogeometric, most of these early residential sites were abandoned in favour of the ones occupying the central valley, where an urban center started then to develop over ca 10 ha (fig. 5). This settlement was entirely restructured in Late Geometric and abandoned in the beginning of the 7th c. BC. At the foot of the central valley, the cemetery of Lami extends over an area of ca 12 ha and offers small groups of graves of various types located on the summit of small eminences punctuating the slopes. In addition to the votive deposit reported by Demargne at Kako Plaï, two new cultic spaces (Deposits 1 and 2) were also located on the summit during the survey.

Based on these results and within the frame of the new five-year (2017-2021) research program of the EFA, excavations were resumed on Anavlochos in 2017. They revealed new groups of graves in the cemetery. In one of them, a cremation pit located between two pit graves, unfortunately looted, was brought to light (fig. 6). The accumulation of stone piles covering the pits and the curvilinear enclosing wall to the North seem to indicate the existence of a tumulus. The material recovered includes large decorated vessels dated to the Late Geometric period.

On the slope of Kako Plaï, some meters above the votive deposit excavated by Pierre Demargne in 1929, a small bench sanctuary, as well as Late Minoan IIIC-Classical material were brought to light. A Protogeometric skyphos and the head of a female figure provisionally dated to the Late Minoan IIIC-Protogeometric period (fig. 7) were found on the floor at the foot of the bench.

On the summit, the two votive deposits located during the 2016 survey were also excavated in 2017. Deposit 2 is located in the highest cavities of a small rocky peak (figs 5 and 8): 150 fragments of terracotta zoomorphic figures and figurines, as well as horns of consecration, were collected there (figs 9-11). The deposit is dated to the Late Minoan IIIC period.

Deposit 1 is located 150 m west of Deposit 2 (fig. 5): in the crevices of an outcrop of bedrock, 550 fragments of terracotta figures, figurines and plaques were recovered. These are dated from the Protogeometric to the Classical period and exclusively represent female figures (figs 12-20).

Between 2015 and 2018, the Anavlochos Project benefited from the support of the EFA, INSTAP, ARC program Crisis (UCLouvain), ARPAMED, Humboldt Foundation, FNRS, CNRS (EA 7338 and UMR 8167), Cyprus Institute, University of North Carolina, Stanford University, Cincinnati University, Paris-Sorbonne University, Bordeaux University, University of Lorraine, Heidelberg University, and Cardiff University.

A greenish glow from a remote galaxy is providing astronomers with a glimpse into star formation in the early days of the universe, hinting at new cosmic mysteries waiting to be explained.
As Sky & Telescope reported, a team of astronomers used the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array, or ALMA, located in Chile, to detect oxygen gas in a galaxy nearly 13.3 billion light years away. Since looking across such cosmic distances is also looking back in time, the galaxy is being seen as it was about 550 million years after the Big Bang.
The green glow indicates the presence of oxygen — making the ALMA observations the earliest point in time at which astronomers have detected individual elements — but it is more than that. While we often associate detecting oxygen with the search for life, oxygen is also important for another reason: It was created in stars, said Sky and Telescope.
The early universe, according to Sky & Telescope, was "pristine;" it contained only hydrogen and helium, elements created in the Big Bang. Oxygen only appeared later, cooked up by nuclear reactions inside early stars. Some of these stars later blew up in supernova explosions that spread the oxygen out across space.
When we detected oxygen in the early universe, the time period that NASA described as the dark ages of the universe had already ended. The first stars had formed, produced oxygen and released it into space by exploding.
For this oxygen to be already present in sufficient quantities for ALMA to detect at a time 550 million years after the Big Bang, Sky & Telescope noted that the earliest star formation must have taken place even earlier, when the universe was only about 250 million years old.
Every new discovery pulls on the threads of our understanding, opening up new mysteries. The team that detected oxygen with ALMA also examined the same galaxy, designated MACS1149-JD1, with the Hubble and Spitzer Space Telescopes. And what they found was a discrepancy, said Sky and Telescope.
The stars that produce oxygen and later explode are massive and bright. Galaxies have a much larger number of fainter stars. The observations confirm this. But it turns out that, based on computer simulations, MACS1149-JD1 ought to have more bright stars than it does, according to Sky & Telescope.
Contrary to our simulations, noted Sky & Telescope, star formation seems to have started out strong, then slowed down to a comparative trickle before picking up again.
One possibility, added Sky & Telescope, is that a supermassive black hole was disrupting star formation in the galaxy. This is not the only time, as we've reported, that black holes have figured in our understanding of the early universe. Likewise, we've noted that an ancient star formation is offering insight into one of the greatest of cosmic mysteries, dark matter.
The early universe was filled with surprises. The more we discover, the more we find that calls for further exploration — an ongoing series of adventures that create their own sequels.

• the deficiency symptoms are attributed to a distinct biochemical effect at the molecular level.
For essential metals, each species has an optimal range of concentrations required for normal metabolic functioning. This "Optimal Concentration Range for Essential Elements" (OCEE), termed by Van Assche et al. (1997), is determined by both the natural (bioavailable) concentrations of the essential metal in the species' habitat and the homeostatic capacity of the species, allowing it to regulate its internal metal concentration to an optimal level. Homeostasis is a concept describing the phenomenon that organisms try to maintain their activities by controlling the concentrations of essential and non-essential elements inside their tissues (see, e.g., McGrath, 2001).
Simultaneously with the organism's own control mechanisms, the environment also contributes to the apparent "no-change" internal metal concentration through physical and chemical processes known as "buffering" (McGrath, 2001). As the concentration of metals increase, especially in soils and sediments, various solids or dissolved materials bind the metals chemically or even physically inside their structure.
Acclimation is a non-heritable trait and is seen as the response of an individual to stress. Even without genetic change, an individual (or even a population) may be resistant enough to continue to function normally upon increased metal exposure, a phenomenon referred to as "phenotypic plasticity". This type of non-genetic resistance can easily be lost when the exposure to metals decreases again.
Tolerance is an organism's ability to maintain homeostasis when exposed to a particular array of environmental factors.
Adaptation is a special kind of (metal) tolerance, meaning that the traits have evolved through natural selection in response to high metal exposure in the environment and can therefore be passed on through the genes to subsequent generations. Genetic tolerance or adaptation cannot be lost in the individual. However, it may render the individual less fit to survive in non-contaminated environments.
It has been demonstrated that test organisms (e.g., water fleas) cultured in media with low essential metal concentrations (such as Cu and Zn) exhibit an overall decreased fitness (cf. Caffrey and Keating, 1997). Moreover, organisms cultured at these low metal concentrations acclimate to these conditions and become more sensitive to stress, including metal exposure (Muyssen and Janssen, 2001). Conversely, organisms cultured in media with elevated metal concentrations may become less sensitive. Considering that laboratory toxicity test data are used for derivation of water quality criteria and the establishment of a PNEC (Predicted-No-Effect-Concentration) in risk assessments, these acclimation-induced sensitivity shifts may affect the ecological relevance and effectiveness of the test procedures. It has been stressed several times in this report that metals exhibit naturally varying background concentrations in different habitat types and depending on the metal background concentration, biological communities in these different systems may have adapted differently to the natural presence of metal concentrations, resulting in varying community sensitivities.
Rainbow (2002) reviewed the current literature with regard to metal accumulation in aquatic invertebrates. Aquatic invertebrates take up and accumulate metals whether essential or not, resulting in a great variability of subsequent body concentrations across metals and taxa. Accumulated metals may refer to metabolically available and stored detoxified metals, whereas toxicity is related to a threshold concentration of a metabolically available metal and not to the total accumulated metal.

Brazil fires threaten world's largest wetland

Last modified: 19 August, 2020, 02:27 pm
Around 552 houses gutted in fire at Teknaf Rohingya camp
New Brazil data shows disappointing 50.4% efficacy for China's CoronaVac vaccine
India's Bharat Biotech to supply its Covid-19 vaccine to Brazil
Fire kills eight in Russian apartment block
Speaking on a visit to Mato Grosso State to see the fire-fighting efforts in the Pantanal, Environment Minister Ricardo Salles said the challenges loom large
Flames are ravaging Brazil's Pantanal, the world's largest wetland, approaching the region's main highway and threatening endangered species amid a near-record number of fires.
Brazil's national space research agency Inpe has registered 3,121 fires in the first 15 days of August, nearly five times higher than the same period a year ago. At the current pace, fires could approach the all-time record for any month since records began in 1998.
Firefighters in the area worked to douse smoldering earth that was charred black as clouds of smoke billowed hundreds of feet into the air.
Speaking on a visit to Mato Grosso State to see the fire-fighting efforts in the Pantanal, Environment Minister Ricardo Salles said the challenges loom large.
"The atmosphere is very hot, very dry, with strong winds and high temperatures," Salles said.
"We saw hundreds of fires along the journey throughout the day. Places where the planes and firemen have fought the fires directly without stopping, but still the fires are causing great damage to fauna, flora and to the Pantanal region," he added.
Roughly 8,500 square kilometers, or nearly 6% of the Pantanal, burned from January to July, according to government data.
The Pantanal is 10 times the size of the Everglades wetlands in the U.S. state of Florida. The region is one of the most biodiverse places on the planet with more than 4,700 plant and animal species, including threatened ones like the jaguar, according to advocacy group WWF.
Most of the largest sanctuary for the blue Hyacinthine Macaw parrots has gone up in flames this year, Brazil's Folha de S.Paulo newspaper reported.
The region has been suffering from below-average rainfall and higher-than-average temperatures in the past 30 days, according to data provider Refinitiv.
"It is extremely difficult to combat, control and combat again a fire with the dimensions that we have seen here in the Pantanal," said Paulo Barroso, president of the local firefighting committee.
The blazes in the Pantanal come amid rising concerns about fires in the Amazon, its much larger neighbor to the north. Fires spiked in the first few days of August in the Amazon, but were down by 17% for Aug. 1-15, compared with the same period a year ago.

San Francisco Sketchfest Covering Every Corner of Comedy: Here's How They Do It All
Published by Interrobang Staff at January 11, 2019
San Francisco Sketchfest (presented by Audible) is underway for its 18th event and the line up is tremendous. The long running fest is the most comprehensive of all the major festivals extensively covering every corner of comedy. Stand up is represented in full force, and there's also brilliant sketch performers, some of the best panels and screenings in comedy film and television, there's music, there are podcasts galore and plenty of interactive and social experiences. The curation is phenomenal- the lineup is loaded with a comedy candy store of legends, current stars and up and coming young talents. In anticipation of this year's fest which is gears up today, we spoke with one of the festival's curators and founders, Cole Stratton about what festival-goers can expect this year.
This year's fest has over 700 performers playing 270 shows, and Cole says most of them will be pretty packed. "There's really nothing like it with sold out shows going on at up to a dozen venues at any given time. Putting it all together is akin to assembling a giant jigsaw puzzle of all kinds of programming not only in terms of genres of comedy but also performers of all different backgrounds. "We just try to do the most inclusive, giant festival we can, to kind of get every kind of comedy taste represented," he said, pointing out that the fest includes an amazing array of minority performers, in terms of race, sexual orientation, age and comedic style. "So it's just a matter of just like finding pieces that fit together, and eventually it all clicks. But we never really know what it's gonna be like when we go into it."
The 17 day comedy party is full of the kind of legends that make you gasp, because Cole and the rest of the team work hard to bring together people who don't necessarily make the rounds at all the festivals. There are some truly special experiences to be had this year, as always. For example, Carol Burnett. "Carol's one that we had been working on for years," Cole told me. "We'd asked her several times, she was always interested, but just never worked out timing wise. She's always been on our bucket list of people that we would love to honor, and then this year happened to be the year where the stars aligned, and it happened." Patience is part of the reason SFSF gets such crazy good lineups. Each year they put together a massive list (yes even bigger than the list you see on their final schedule), and hope that a handful will come through, and so far that's worked out beautifully for them. It doesn't hurt that they have a reputation for putting on a great festival. Friends of friends of friends who have done the festival and have had a great time put in a good word to other performers. Cole explained. "We get an idea, then we reach out to some key cogs. A lot of the time it's people that we have a relationship with, for example, Christoper Guest is on the festival, I think four or five years in a row now. He came through initially, because we had others that were related to him, you know? We've had Michael Hitchcock and John Michael Higgins, and people like that in the past and stuff. Then he came and he had a great time, so, now it's like we have an idea, we go to him and say, "Hey, we'd like to reunite the cast, what do you think?" If he's on board, then it's easier for us to start going through our personal connections, and as well as reps saying, "Hey, we're thinking about doing this, so and so is interested." Then they all kind of start to jump on board, and it gets a little easier than you would think. If people have had enthusiasm for the project and they all love each other, then they love to have an excuse to get together in San Francisco for a weekend and hang out."
Last year Peter Riegert came to Sketchfest for an Animal House Tribute, and enjoyed the festival so much he agreed to come back this year for a tribute to Local Hero. "It's been on lists in the past, it's just such a wonderful, whimsical little movie and we love the The Castro, it's one of our favorite places to do shows, and we just try to cram a bunch of stuff in per day there."
The Tribute shows are a cornerstone of the fest, and honor legends in the business, iconic films, and casts of unforgettable shows. Cole explained they like to play with the formats for the tributes, sometimes doing fun pairings for interviews (like Carol Burnett who will be talking with Wendy Malick this year) or turning a roast format upside down to have a dais honor a guest with a celebration of their career. A few years ago for a Fred Willard tribute they invited friends like Rob Klein and Martin Mull to participate. "That's also a fun way to get some of those people to this festival that you wouldn't necessarily come otherwise. But when they find out that you're paying tribute to one of their good friends and collaborators, they jump at the chance to come up."
Beyond the obvious headlining events (Carol Burnett and Best in Show for example), Sketchfest has so many choices for fans looking to check out something new including some really creative offerings in non-traditional settings. "We're always looking to experiment, and do things in places that you wouldn't normally have comedy," he said. Like Shit Arcade a New York Show run by Mike Drucker where Mike and the other comedians on the lineup play the worst video games ever on stage, and talk about them. "Like Bible Adventures, and things like that. It's just completely ridiculous, and it's always a kick, but I don't think a lot of people know about it yet, so that's one I would definitely point out." Stratton also recommends checking out Brunches with Funches (and Emmy Blotnik and Hari Kondabolu), a weekend populated with a cross pollination of everything Paul F. Tompkins and John Hodgman and their circle of friends and like minded comedians, the return of Jimmy Pardo and Never Not Funny, and Night Life which features unique after hours shows throughout the California Academy of Sciences- a massive natural history museum at Golden Gate Park.
And no one should miss the six interactive immersive comedy nights at Speak Easy, which is new this year, in an interactive theater space. Cole described what to expect. "It's like a 1930's style themed speak easy place, there's a couple of bars, there's a main cabaret showroom, there's a bunch of hidden rooms, a secret entrance, that kinda stuff too.Normally when you go and do shows there, there's performers that roam around and interact with you, from the 1930's and stuff, people get all dolled up and stuff, and it's cool. We did a couple of after parties there last year, and everybody was like, "This place is amazing, we should do some shows here." So we [inaudible] this year to do these kind of interactive shows, that'll be kind of a combination of, you know, some traditional stand-up on the main cabaret stage, but also a bunch of roving experiences. Mike Ian Black's gonna go and deal some cards in the casino, and things like that. If people wandering around into these little rooms they never know who they're gonna find, while improvisors wandering around too and stuff. So it's just kind of different interactive comedy thing, combining, you know, up and comers, along with some giant headliners each Friday and Saturday night. So that's definitely a different thing that we're trying out this year, that we're pretty excited for."
There are literally too many great shows and comedians and posts to list.
Regardless of what your comedy interests, San Francisco Sketchfest has something for everyone including great audiences. "We've been lucky in a sense that we get amazing performers every year, but also people come out. The audiences are great in San Francisco, they're appreciative, and just ends up kind of being one big love fest between the performers and the audiences and stuff, which allows us to put this on year after year."
San Francsico Sketchfest runs from January 10 through the 27th. Go to sfsketchfest.com for info and tickets.

Gov. Greg Abbott calls George Floyd's death 'horrific act of police brutality'
by: Billy Gates, Andrew Schnitker
Posted: Jun 2, 2020 / 08:37 AM CDT / Updated: Jun 2, 2020 / 02:34 PM CDT
DALLAS (KXAN) — Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, joined by city and state leaders, denounced the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis and pledged to federally prosecute instigators of violence and vandalism from protests around the state.
"What happened to George Floyd is a horrific act of police brutality. It should've never happened. We have to make sure it never happens in Texas," Gov. Abbott said in a Tuesday news conference from Dallas. "George Floyd's death has touched every corner of our country."
While supporting the right to protest and assemble, Gov. Abbott demanded the looting and vandalism during demonstrations in Texas stop, saying "it is essential that we end the violence."
Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson says most instances of alleged crimes during protests in Dallas were done by people from outside of the city. Gov. Abbott says those potential offenders will be federally prosecuted and an investigation is already underway.
KXAN has looked into those arrested at Austin protests and found most are from the Austin area.
"There's not a police officer in Texas that isn't sickened by the murder of George Floyd." Texas Department of Public Safety Director Col. Steve McCraw said.
During the weekend of unrest in most major Texas cities, Gov. Abbott declared a state of disaster, deploying additional officers and Texas State troopers to Austin, Dallas, Houston and San Antonio.
Gov. Abbott says Texas lawmakers will be proactive on crafting new legislation related to police brutality, saying the work starts now before session begins in January 2021.
"What I have seen as governor is that Texans can overcome any challenge. We will seize this moment to bridge the divide that exists in our state, so that we can and will keep Texas the greatest state in the United States of America," Gov. Abbott said.
Gov. Abbott says Texas will not use U.S. military resources in response to state protests.
Gov. Abbott was joined by Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson, Fort Worth Mayor Betsy Price, Dallas Police Chief Renee' Hall and Fort Worth Police Chief Ed Kraus.

since Hermann's have been those of Schneidewin, G. Wolff and Wecklein. L. Campbell's edition of the plays and fragments (1871-1881) was quickly followed by Jebb's edition of the seven plays (1881-1896). Editions of one or more dramas most worth consulting are Elmsley's Oedipus Tyrannus and Oedipus Coloneus, Böckh's Antigone, Lobeck's Ajax, J. W. Donaldson's Antigone, O. Jahn's Electra and J. William White's Oed. Tyr. A monograph on the Antigone by Kaibel is also well worth mentioning. Translations: in verse, by Francklin, Potter, Dale, Plumptre, L. Campbell, Whitelaw; in prose by R. C. Jebb. The chief German translations are those of Solger (1824), Donner (1839), Hartung (1853) and Thudichum. The French prose translation by Leconte de Lisle, and the Italian in verse by Bellotti deserve special mention. The Antigone was produced at Berlin with Mendelssohn's music in 1841 and the Oedipus Coloneus in 1845. They have been reproduced in English several times—the Antigone notably with Helen Faucit (Lady Martin) in the title-rôle in 1845. The Oedipe Roi (trans. La Croix) and the Antigone (trans. Vacquerie) have been frequently performed in Paris. A performance of the Oedipus Tyrannus in Greek at Harvard University, U.S.A. (1880), was remarkably successful. Of dissertations immediately devoted to Sophocles those of Lessing, Patin, Dronke and Evelyn Abbott (in Hellenica) are especially noteworthy. (L. C.)
SOPHOMORE, the name in American universities (corresponding to "sophister" at Cambridge, England, and Trinity College, Dublin) for a student who has completed his first year of academic studies. It is a corruption of the earlier "sophimore," due to a supposed derivation from σοφός, wise, and μῶρος, foolish, alluding to the air of wisdom assumed by students after their freshman's year was concluded. The earlier word "sophomore" (cf. "Laws of Yale Coll., 1774," in Hall's College Words) represents "sophismer," a doublet of "sophister," and means an arguer or debater (cf. the Cambridge use of "wrangler"), and is formed from the Greek σόφισμα, sophism, an ingenious or captious argument.
SOPHRON, of Syracuse, writer of mimes, flourished about 430 B.C. He was the author of prose dialogues in the Doric dialect, containing both male and female characters, some serious, others humorous in style, and depicting scenes from the daily life of the Sicilian Greeks. Although in prose, they were regarded as poems; in any case they were not intended for stage representation. They were written in pithy and popular language, full of proverbs and colloquialisms. Plato is said to have introduced them into Athens and to have made use of them in his dialogues; according to Suïdas, they were Plato's constant companions, and he even slept with them under his pillow. Some idea of their general character may be gathered from the 2nd and 15th idylls of Theocritus, which are said to have been imitated from the, Ἀκέστριαι and Ἰσθμιάζουσαι of his Syracusan predecessor. Their influence is also to be traced in the satires of Persius. The fragments will be found in H. L. Ahrens's De graecae linguae dialectis (1843), ii. (app.). Latest edition by C. J. Botzon (1867); see also his De Sophrone et Xenarcho mimographis (1856).
SOPHRONIUS, Greek "sophist" and theological writer, was born at Damascus. For many years he was a monk in the monastery of Theodosius, near Jerusalem, removed to Alexandria, whence he was driven out by the advance of the Persians, and finally settled in Palestine, where he became (634) successor of Modestus in the patriarchate of Jerusalem. After his elevation he showed himself a staunch supporter of orthodox principles and one of the most determined opponents of the Monothelites. In 636, when Jerusalem surrendered to the Arabs under Omar, he succeeded in obtaining important concessions for the Christians in the exercise of their worship. He did not long survive the capture of the city, and after his death the see remained unfilled for 29 years. Sophronius was a prolific writer, both in prose and verse, in various departments of literature. His chief work is a long account of the Egyptian saints and martyrs Cyrus and John, and of the miraculous cures effected by them, valuable for its information concerning the topography of Egypt. The Life of Mary of Egypt, who abandoned immorality for a life of the strictest penance in Palestine for 48 years, is generally attributed to him. He was also the author of anacreontic odes, hymns, and epigrams.
Works in J. P. Migne, Patrologia graeca, lxxxvii., and list in Fabricius, Bibliotheca graeca, ix. 162; see also L. de St Aignan, Vie de Sophronius (Orleans, 1884); C. Krumbacher, Geschichte der byzantinischen Litteratur (1897); and for Sophronius and Omar, Gibbon, ch. 51.
SOPRANO (a variant of Ital. sovrano, supreme, sovereign, Late Lat. superanus, from super, above), the term applied in music to the highest natural range of the human voice, and often restricted to that range in the female voice, "treble" being used of a boy's voice. Male soprani, either natural or artificially produced, as formerly in the castrati of the papal choirs (see Eunuch), are also found. The female voice whose range is intermediate between that of a soprano or a contralto is termed "mezzo-soprano."
SOPRON (Ger. Oedenburg; Med. Lat. Sopronium), a town of Hungary, capital of the county of the same name, 140 m. W. of Budapest by rail. Pop. (1900), 30,628, about 60% Germans. It lies in an extensive valley enclosed on all sides by the outskirts of the Rosalien mountains, a group belonging to the eastern outliers of the Alps. In the principal square are the Benedictine church, built at the end of the 13th century and restored in the 15th century, and the town hall, completed in 1894. The Dominican church, built in 1674; the church of St Michael, in the Gothic style, completed in 1484, the most interesting church in the town; and the old tower, 200 ft. high, are all worth notice. Sopron has a thriving industry in sugar, soap, vinegar, bell-founding and machinery, and it carries on an active trade in cereals, fruit and wine. Large cattle markets are also held here. Within the county a good quality of wine is produced, especially near the little town of Ruszt (pop. 1608) and at the village of Balf (Ger., Wolfs) on the shores of the Neusiedler lake. In the neighbourhood of Sopron is the Brennberg, with extensive coal-mines. Sopron was a Roman colony under the name of Scarabantia. It was afterwards occupied by German settlers and became a royal free town in the 11th century. Matthias Corvinus granted the town special privileges in 1464. An important Diet of Hungarian Protestants took place here in 1681.
About 12 m. north, at the foot of the Leitha mountains, lies the town of Kismarton (Ger. Eisenstadt; pop., 2951), which contains a magnificent castle of the Esterhazy family, built in 1683 and enlarged in 1805. About 10 m. north-west lies Nagymarton (Ger. Mattersdorf; pop., 3789); and not far from it, on the frontier of Austria, the well-preserved castle of Forchtenstein, the cradle of the Esterhazy family. About 12 m. east, not far from the Neusiedler lake, lies Esterhaza, with a beautiful castle in the French Renaissance style, belonging to Count Esterhazy. About 9 m. south-east lies the village of Nagyczenk (Ger. Zinkendorff), with the castle of the Szechenyi family.
SORA, a city of Campania, Italy, in the province of Caserta, 77 m. N. by W. of that town on the railway between Roccasecca and Avezzano, 920 ft. above sea-level. Pop. (1901), 6,050 (town); 16,022 (commune). It is built in a plain on the banks of the Liris. This part of the valley is the seat of some important manufactures, especially of paper-mills. The original cathedral, consecrated by Pope Adrian IV. in 1155, was destroyed by the earthquake of 1634. On the precipitous rock above the town (1768 ft.) which guards the Liris valley and the entrance to the Abruzzi are remains of polygonal walls; here, possibly, was the citadel of the original Volscian town. There are also remains of medieval fortifications. In the town itself there are no remains of antiquity nor buildings of interest. The district around Sora is famous for the costumes of its peasants.
Sora, an ancient Volscian town, was thrice captured by the Romans, in 345, 314 and 305 B.C., before they managed, in 303, by means of a colony 4000 strong, to confirm its annexation. In 209 it was one of the colonies which refused further \contributions to the war against Hannibal. By the lex Julia it became a municipium, but under Augustus it was colonized by soldiers of the legio IV. Sorana, which had been mainly enrolled there. It belonged technically to Latium Adjectum. The castle of Sorella, built on the rocky height above the town,

Historic Medical Training Agreement Signed
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — The 184th Intelligence Wing of the Kansas Air National Guard at McConnell Air Force Base in Wichita has signed-on with the 190th Air Refueling Wing stationed at Forbes Field in Topeka for hands-on medical training at The University of Kansas Health System. The training affiliation agreement is unique in the nation as the only civilian medical training at an academic teaching and research hospital.

Col. Bill Hefner, commander of the 190th Medical Group, praised the program which he helped begin many years ago. "The training instills confidence and confirms the passion our medics have for the work they do, while meeting a skills gap not available through a slide presentation."
Dr. Lee Norman, Chief Medical Officer at The University of Kansas Health System and Lt. Colonel in the Army National Guard, echoed the praise of the training program. "It's the right thing to do," he said. "We take pride in supporting the mission of our National Guard troops, whether serving at home in their communities during times of disaster or supporting the military overseas.
Further efforts are underway to expand the training with the Air National Guard in St. Joseph, Mo., and the combat medics with the Kansas Army National Guard.

How Much Coverage Does Your Vehicle Need? - Ask The Expert with Greg Marcyniuk
Greg shares tips on selecting adequate insurance coverage for your vehicle in this episode of Ask The Expert. 800 CHAB radio presents Ask the Expert with Greg Marcyniuk of Heritage Insurance located in Moose Jaw.
Here's a full transcript of this episode:
Rob Carnie: Greg Marcyniuk from Heritage Insurance in downtown Moose Jaw, on 800 CHAB's Ask the Expert today, and today we're focused on insurance and vehicle insurance, and the various packages you can get.
I think, Greg, it's safe to say many people, maybe even most people, just get the basic plate coverage on their vehicles. But there are other options and most worthwhile options, sir.
Greg Marcyniuk: Oh, for sure. I think a lot of people feel that once they purchase a plate, they're going to be covered. Well, that's the furthest from the truth that could be. With your plate coverage, first of all, you have a $700 deductible which means if you get in an accident, you're responsible for that first $700. The other things is liability protection, and there's only a basic $200,000. In today's day and age, $200,000 just does not cover you very far.
Now, when you get in an accident, that's when you need it, and if you ask yourself, do you travel outside of Saskatchewan, or even in Saskatchewan, for that matter? If you get in an accident, and if you're at fault, your package policy will cover it, dependent upon the amount that you get. You can get up to $5 million. This will provide coverage for you. The other thing is if you're traveling, and if the other person is uninsured, hasn't renewed their plate, whatever, you do not have — you know, you may not have any coverage that will extend to you, and especially in the event if something happens where you get killed, with the package policy, it will provide for up to $2 million. It will also provide death benefits. It will also provide education for your children. There's a lot there that can provide coverage, and that coverage is as little as $5 per month, just for a basic liability coverage.
The other things that a lot of people don't realize, you buy a new car. As soon as you take that car off the lot, it drops in value 20%. If you get it totally written off, you're out that 20% on that vehicle. You can get full total replacement cost on a newer vehicle, and I'm telling you, I see this time and time again where people have done it, gotten their car written off, and just for the little amount that it costs you to have that in place. As well, does your vehicle spend a lot of time outdoors? As far as with the hailstorm that we had, any vandalism, or if you come out, somebody's rammed the side of it with a shopping cart — which does happen — your $700, you're responsible for that $700. So you can reduce that down to as low as $100, so those type of things are covered.
The other thing is if you're out driving on gravel roads a lot, or even on our highways, how often do you get your windshield chipped, or it gets dinged, where you have to replace it? Again, without a package policy, you're responsible for that first $700, so it's a lot of money that comes out of your pocket. Just makes common sense, and it's very minimal cost.
A lot of people don't realize how little it is until they come and sit down, and they just say, "Oh, I wish I would have had this." And it's typically after they've been in an accident. They come in and say, "I should have bought this." So highly recommend that people do take a look at this.
Rob: And we don't have to wait until our plates are up for renewal. We can add this insurance any time.
Greg: That's correct, you just have to come down here to Heritage Insurance, corner of Fairford and 1st, and we'll take care of that for you.

All the angst and drama we fret about in EVE Online becomes pathetically irrelevant when Real Life tragedy takes one of our own. It was announced today that one of the victims of the shootings in San Bernardino, California was Robert Adams, known to us in game as Photon Torpedo.
A GoFundMe page has been set up to solicit donations to help his family.
Please donate if you can, and show the support of the EVE Online community.

But instead, I got a ragtag group of exactly three people and we drove a little ways out of the metropolis for coffee, a view, dinner and a midnight salubong. We traded light advice on work, skills of our trade, some perspective on goals, maybe. They told me how well I was doing. We didn't exactly get away from things, just looked at them from some distance. It was quite ordinary, an unrushed and undramatic moment of setting adulthood.
I did not, at any point, feel like I had to orchestrate something to make my day feel significant to somebody else. I did not require myself to feel important, just comfortable. I spent it how I wish I could spend all my weekends: nourished, supported, and quite content, thank you very much.
I like how just a few days later, I met this beach. We thought at first that the waves were playful, interrupting us with mischief and insisting on being part of our fun. Later on I realized it wasn't insisting on anything. It simply didn't mind who it happened to comfort or please as it went and did as waves do. It lived, danced, and played, just happening to cleanse things by existing. There's a metaphor in there for me.
It's a weird time to be realizing the weight of different things: the extent that some people do/don't care about you, the feeling that you're after and what it takes to get there, the self-disclosure regarding the things that matter more than you'd like to admit. The question of what I care too much about, and what kind of good I accidentally create by being me.
So my "crisis" isn't about the height of my achievements but the depth of the things I carry with me. Is my heart whole? Is what I have reliable? Is what I share valuable? My hope is to write to you a year from now and still be asking questions, only because I had been too busy doing good and living true to answer them.
P.S. Hello again, loves. These quiet corners will start moving again in a while.

Also in my device console, it seems that the device is canceling my notifications or something a don't get.

Also not that standard notifications (not in Background) works fine.

Well at least it seems that the application is waking up (seen in the device log)

*

*So this morning I launch the code from yesterday (with no modifications at all) and it worked for a few times, like 4 or 5 times.

*Now it doesn't work anymore. Same as yesterday (iOS system seems to catch the payload, but application is not waked up)

-> conclusion, this a system limitation, and this is so confusing when you need to perfom tests. I'm gonna put this in production with no assurance it will work properly...

ANL-HEP-PR-93-37 May 1993
Using b→sγ to Probe Top Quark Couplings ***Research supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, Division of High Energy Physics, Contract W-31-109-ENG-38.
JOANNE L. HEWETT and THOMAS G. RIZZO
High Energy Physics Division
Possible anomalous couplings of the top-quark to on-shell photons and gluons are constrained by the recent results of the CLEO Collaboration on both inclusive and exclusive radiative B decays. We find that the process b→sγ can lead to reasonable bounds on both the anomalous electric and magnetic dipole moments of the top-quark, while essentially no limits are obtained on the corresponding chromoelectric and chromomagnetic moments, which enter the expression for the decay rate only through operator mixing.
The Standard Model (SM) of electroweak interactions is in very good agreement with present experimental data [1] . Nonetheless, it is believed to leave many questions unanswered, and this belief has resulted in numerous theoretical and experimental attempts to discover a more fundamental underlying theory. Various types of experiments may expose the existence of physics beyond the SM, including the search for direct production of exotic particles at high-energy colliders. A complementary approach in hunting for new physics is to examine its indirect effects in higher order processes. For example, even though the top-quark has yet to be discovered, it has already made its presence known through loop order processes, such as rare decays of the b-quark. Since the top-quark is far more massive than the other SM fermions, its interactions may be quite sensitive to new physics originating at a higher scale. If there are any deviations from SM expectations in the properties of the top-quark, they may indirectly lead to modifications in the anticipated branching fractions for these one-loop induced b-quark decays.
The possibility of having top-quarks with anomalous couplings to various gauge bosons has been discussed in the literature [2, 3] . Strong bounds can be placed on these anomalous couplings at future colliders, such as the SSC/LHC [2] and the next linear e+e− linear collider (NLC) [3] , which rely on direct production of top-quark pairs. Since the t-quark has yet to appear at the Tevatron, it is clear that any restrictions on these couplings at present can only be obtained indirectly. In this paper we examine the effects of anomalous couplings of the top-quark to on-shell photons and gluons on the process b→sγ. If the t-quark has large anomalous couplings, then the resulting prediction of the rate for b→sγ would conflict with experiment. The CLEO collaboration has recently [4] observed the exclusive decay B→K∗γ with a branching fraction of (4.5±1.5±0.9)×10−5 and has placed an upper limit on the inclusive quark-level process b→sγ of B(b→sγ)<5.4×10−4 at 95% CL. Using a conservative estimate of the ratio of exclusive to inclusive decay rates [5] , the observation of the exclusive process implies the lower bound B(b→sγ)>0.6×10−4 at 95% CL. These values for the branching fractions are consistent with expectations from the SM [6] .
The most general form of the Lagrangian which describes the interactions of top-quarks to on-shell photons, assuming operators of dimension-five or less only, is
L=e¯t[Qtγμ+12mtσμν(κγ+i~κγγ5)qν]tAμ, (1)
where, for simplicity, we have assumed that the ordinary dimension-four interaction is parity conserving. Here, Qt is the electric charge of the t-quark, κγ (~κγ) is the anomalous magnetic (electric) dipole moment, and mt represents the mass of the top-quark. A similar expression is obtained for the interactions of the t-quark with gluons with obvious substitutions in the above. To simplify our analysis, we will also assume that only one of either the electric or magnetic dipole operators is non-zero. Clearly, if all four operators are non-vanishing, their separate contributions would be quite impossible to disentangle using an analysis of the b→sγ rate alone.
Our investigation of this process proceeds as follows. To obtain the b→sγ branching fraction, the inclusive b→sγ rate is scaled to that of the semileptonic decay b→Xℓν. This removes major uncertainties in the calculation associated with (i) an overall factor of m5b which appears in both expressions and (ii) the imprecisely known Cabbibo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) factors. We use the latest data on the semileptonic branching fraction [7, 8] , which is given by B(b→Xℓν)=0.108, to rescale our result. The semileptonic rate is calculated including both charm and non-charm modes, assuming |Vub/Vcb|=0.1, and includes both phase space and QCD correction s with mb=5GeV and mc=1.5GeV [9] . The calculation of Γ(b→sγ) employs the next-to-leading log evolution equations for the coefficients of the operators in the effective Hamiltonian due to Misiak [10] , the gluon bremsstrahlung corrections of Ali and Greub [11] , the mtop≠MW corrections of Cho and Grinstein [12] , a running αQED evaluated at the b-quark mass scale, and 3-loop evolution of the running αs matched to the value obtained at the Z scale via a global analysis [13] of all data. Phase space corrections for the strange quark mass in the final state are included and the ratio of CKM mixing matrix elements in the scaled decay rate, |VtbVts/Vcb|, is taken to be unity. The details of this procedure are presented elsewhere [14] . To complete the calculation we use the one-loop matching conditions for the various operators [10] in a form that includes contributions from both the SM and the top-quark anomalous couplings.
In practice, only the coefficients of the dipole b→s transition operators, traditionally denoted as O7 and O8, are modified by the presence of the anomalous couplings. At the W scale, O7 is the only operator which mediates the decay b→sγ, however, mixing occurs between the various b→s transition operators during the evolution of the coefficient of O7 to the b-quark mass scale, so that in principle all the operators can contribute at the scale mb. We can write the coefficients of O7 and O8 at the W scale as, e.g.
c7(MW) = G7SM+κγG1+i~κγG2, (2)
c8(MW) = G8SM+κgG1+i~κgG2,
G7SM = −12[−3x3+2x22(1−x)4lnx−8x3+5x2−7x12(1−x)3],
G8SM = −12[3x2lnx2(x−1)4+x3−5x2−2x4(x−1)3],
G1 = 1x−1−lnx(x−1)2+12x−1(x−1)3[12x2−2x+32+lnx]−14, (3)
G2 = 1x−1−lnx(x−1)2−14,
where x=m2t/M2W. Note that this result is completely finite and that we do not have to resort to any use of cut-offs to analyze our results.
In Fig. 1a we show the predicted b→sγ branching fraction for several different top-quark masses assuming only the anomalous magnetic dipole moment of the top is non-zero. For large negative(positive) values of κγ, we see that the branching fraction exceeds the inclusive CLEO upper(lower) bound. While the constraint on κγ from the CLEO upper limit does not appear to be sensitive to mt, the restriction on κγ from the lower CLEO bound varies significantly for mt in the range 120−200 GeV. While the anomalous magnetic dipole moment effects the O7 operator directly, the anomalous chromomagnetic dipole moment only contributes to the rate for b→sγ indirectly through operator mixing. Thus we would naively expect that the resultant bounds that are obtainable on this parameter to be quite weak. We see this quite explicitly in Fig. 1b where we assume that only κg is non-zero. It is clear that unless extraordinarily large values of κg are realized, the present b→sγ data does not constrain this parameter. If both κg and κγ are taken to be non-zero, the bounds obtainable from Fig. 1a on κγ will not be significantly modified unless huge values of κg are assumed. To demonstrate this we show in Fig. 1c the allowed range of κγ at the 95% CL as a function of mt, assuming that κg is absent (solid curve) or is identical in value to κγ (dashed curve). We see that both sets of constraints are remarkably similar. The general weakening of the limits with increasing mt should be noted.
In the case of a non-zero anomalous electric or chromoelectric dipole moment, a somewhat different situation occurs due to the relative phase between these and the conventional SM contributions to c7,8(MW). When evolved down to the b-quark scale, these contributions do not interfere with those of the SM and thus can only appear quadratically in the modified expression for the b→sγ rate. Thus, we will assume both ~κγ and ~κg to be positive semi-definite in our numerical analysis. Since the contribution from these anomalous couplings can only increase the prediction to the b→sγ rate over that given by the SM, we anticipate that only the CLEO upper bound will provide a constraint. This expectation is borne out by our explicit calculations.
Fig. 2a displays the b→sγ branching fraction as a function of ~κγ for several different top-quark masses assuming all other anomalous couplings are zero. Given the set of top-quark masses we consider, the bound on this parameter apparently strengthens as the value of mt increases. This conclusion is quite valid provided GeV, however, as we will see below, it is not quite correct for smaller values of mt. As in the case of the chromomagnetic dipole moment, any constraints on the chromoelectric dipole moment are expected to be quite poor as it only enters into the expression for the b→sγ decay rate through operator mixing. Fig. 2b shows this is indeed the case, as there is apparently very little sensitivity to ~κg alone even for very large values of this anomalous coupling. In Fig. 2c we present the mt dependence of the 95% CL upper bound on ~κγ both when all other anomalous couplings are absent (solid) as well as when ~κg=~κγ (dashed). Again, very little difference is seen between the two cases, demonstrating the lack of sensitivity of b→sγ to the chromoelectric moment of the top. As pointed out above, the bound on ~κγ strengthens with increasing mt for values in excess of 130 GeV. However, we see that for smaller values of mt below 130 GeV the limits also become stronger. This is due to a cancellation between the various terms in G2 near mt=130 GeV.
How will the constraints we have obtained be improved in the future? From b→sγ itself, we see that any imaginable improvement in the data will not qualitatively alter the allowed ranges we have obtained unless the top-quark mass is known. Even in this case, the other calculational uncertainties render it unlikely that drastic improvements are possible from this process alone. Of course, input from other processes involving top-quark loops may be of some help and should be aggressively investigated. Clearly, the next major step forward will be the examination of the top-quark production process itself after the t-quark is found. Both the SSC/LHC and the NLC will be able to probe anomalous couplings which are two to three orders of magnitude smaller than those discussed here. We remind the reader, however, that the anomalous couplings that can be examined at these colliders will be for on-shell top-quarks with off-shell photons and gluons, e.g., the situation opposite to that which we examine here.
In summary, we have shown that the new CLEO results on radiative B decays place strong constraints on the anomalous electric and magnetic dipole moment couplings of the top-quark even though it has not yet been directly observed at the Tevatron. The corresponding limits we obtain on the chromoelectric and chromomagnetic dipole moments are quite weak as they enter our calculation only via operator mixing. Clearly other low energy processes might also lead to constraints on such anomalous couplings and should be examined. It is most likely, however, that we will have to wait for detailed studies of top-quark production at future colliders before more restrictive bounds can be obtained.

Congress Certifies Presidential Nomination
As fraudulent voting claims have run rampant with President Donald Trump supporters, Trump's supporters sieged the United States Capitol Building against the electoral college vote, to "stop the steal."

Trump's supporters broke past security measures to the steps and inside of the Capitol Building, waving Trump flags in the process.
In Washington D.C. on Jan. 6, 2021, Trump supporters surrounded and later broke into the Capitol Building during the official Congressional certification of the 2020 presidential election. President Donald Trump spoke at a rally earlier that day to "take back America" and encouraged Vice President Mike Pence to halt the certification. At 1:15 p.m., the first dispute over the Arizona results began, and along with that came insurrectionists breaking the first few barricades toward Capitol Hill.
As protesters breached the inside of the Capitol Building, Congress had been ordered into a recess and to evacuate the floor to remain safe. According to CBS News, no Representatives or Senators were harmed in the situation, though one woman was shot at the Capitol and pronounced dead; the next morning, three others were announced dead due to medical emergencies, totaling four casualties.
Hours later, President-elect Biden spoke to the public, and shortly after, Biden condemned these actions and urged the President to address the situation and for the violence to end.
"At this hour, our democracy is under unprecedented assault unlike anything we've seen in modern times," President-elect Biden said in a televised address. "It must end, now. I call on this mob to pull back and allow the work of democracy to go forward … I call on President Donald Trump to go on national television now to fulfill his oath and defend the Constitution."
Shortly after, President Trump released a video to address his supporters, which led to Twitter and Facebook suspending his accounts because of the false and fraudulent information regarding the election. Both companies cited that his video could incite more violence.
Mayor Muriel Bowser of Washington D.C. ordered a 6 p.m curfew to reduce any additional harm.
The insurrectionists set foot in congressional offices and caused damage in the Capitol and fear among the nation. In a historic moment, the Confederate flag was waved on capitol grounds in the United States Capitol Building, which had never happened in American history. The last time the Capitol was breached was in 1814 by the British after the War of 1812.
Law enforcement emptied the building shortly before the curfew of all protesters. Speaker Pelosi urged her colleagues that once it is safe, they are to get back to work to certify the election and speak to her connections in the FBI and the Pentagon to confirm that would be the plan of action.
Republican and Democratic lawmakers had similar reactions to the Capitol Building's breach, condemning the violence and vandalism done to the historical site. Furthermore, four former presidents have spoken on these actions; President George W. Bush referred to it as a "violent assault on the Capitol – and disruption of a Constitutionally-mandated meeting of Congress."
Sen. Lindsey Graham from South Carolina had supported President Trump during his presidency and his earlier efforts to take voter fraud allegations to court and contest the results. Multiple Republicans in the Senate who had supported President Trump's actions in earlier months now rebuked them to continue the certification; such individuals include Sen. Kelly Loeffler from Georgia in addition to Sen. Graham. As Congress reconvened to count electoral votes, Sen. Graham expressed that he will no longer contest the elections.
"Count me out; enough is enough." Sen. Graham said.
According to ABC News, Democrats in Congress have been calling upon Vice President Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment and impeach President Trump from office, two weeks before President-elect Biden's inauguration, and to prevent him from running for reelection. This garnered support from multiple Democratic lawmakers.
Rep. Ilhan Omar from Minnesota also announced that she is "Drawing up Articles of Impeachment" in a Tweet on Jan. 6, in the midst of taking shelter in the Capitol Building. However, this impeachment effort is unlikely to proceed without the support of Republicans in the Senate.
The election was certified on Jan. 7, 2021, at 3:40 a.m. Since the afternoon of Jan. 6, this certification persisted with Pennsylvania and Arizona certification being officially entertained by the opposition but failed on the Congress floor. Attempts were made for Nevada, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Georgia as well. Still, they were quickly rejected by Vice President Pence on technicalities outlined in Sections 15 and 17 in Article III of the United States Constitution.
This effectively made Biden Jr. the official 46th President-elect of the United States, with his term commencing on Jan. 20, 2021. He will be entering his presidency with his party in control over the Senate and House of Representatives, as Democrats secured both Senate seats in the Georgia runoff election the same day the protests occurred.

Note: The above should be considered a work in progress. Please help to improve it by commenting below. I will update it as new information becomes available.
The Siddur is an aggregate of thousands of years of creatively inspired work. The organization of the material within any one particular siddur–the textual ingredients and arrangements –represents a specific lineage, or nusaḥ,plural, nusḥaot with its own history of development. There are a good number of different lineages some of which are still alive and changing, others which due to the circumstances of history are now quite obscure. Nevertheless, their voice might still whisper within the pages and tunes of more familiar traditions, if you know where to look.
Lawrence A. Hoffman's Beyond the Text: A Holistic Approach to Liturgy (Indiana University Press, 1987) provides a flowchart illustrating the developmental history of some familiar liturgical lineages. According to Dr. Richard Sarason (HUC-JIR), the chart is based on one prepared by Dr. Joseph Heinemann for his course on the history of the Siddur at Hebrew University in the mid-1960's (see right). It appears in Heinemann's Akadamon choveret, T'filot Yisra'el v'toldotehen: Leqet m'korot (Jerusalem: Hebrew University, 1966) and was copied pretty much verbatim by Jakob J. Petuchowski, Guide to the Prayerbook (Cincinnati: HUC-JIR, 1968) — which is probably where Hoffman discovered it. I was grateful to be introduced to the chart at Yeshivat Hadar where R' Elie Kaunfer shared it in his class on T'fillah. In the chart one can see how the liturgy of Nusaḥ Ashkenaz largely depends on the "Babylonian Rite" with minor influences directly from the "Palestinian Rite." Here, Babylonian refers to the nusaḥ seen in development in the Talmud Bavli (Babylonian Talmud) and Palestinian refers to the nusaḥ described in Tannaitic sources and the Talmud Yerushalmi.
Maps showing the relationship between the nusḥaot are quite helpful to us. The Open Siddur Project is seeking to digitize all the extant nusḥaot witnessed in siddurim and other manuscripts, in order to show the evolution of individual prayers and blessings. This will helpfully represent at least the textual diversity of Jewish spiritual expression in the many geographically dispersed Jewish communities over the past three thousand years. I also hope that representing this diversity in t'fillah will be an inspiration to individuals engaging in davvening as an intellectually engaged and creative discourse speaking across generations. The extent to which we'll be able to realize this vision will be limited to how many source texts we'll be able to identify, transcribe, and share with open standards and free culture licenses.
Seeing that the design of the map appearing in Hoffman's book left much to be desired, I redesigned it for clarity while adding some additional nusḥaot. I hope that the following map based on Joseph Heinemann's work will help inspire fellow researchers to contribute to this project.
The map charts the development of Jewish liturgies over time and is color coded by period, the top of the map showing the earliest nusḥaot and the bottom of the page with the most recent variations. White represents Hebraic traditions before the Babylonian exile (pre-582 BCE). Yellow represents the period of the second temple (roughly 582 BCE to 72 CE). Orange, the Tannaitic and Amoraic period (72 CE to 500 CE). Green, the Geonic period (600 CE to 1000 CE) and light green the period of the Rishonim (1000 CE to 1400 CE). Light blue represents the period between the Spanish expulsion and the Sabbataean controversy (1492 CE to 1666 CE), and the dark blue represents the period of Ḥassidut and the Haskala up until the Holocaust (18th century until 1948). Some of the more recent formulations of these variations as adopted by Jewish communities and particular denominational movements are represented in violet.
The nusḥaot found in Heinemann's chart are shown in in outlined boxes. Added material is indicated as boxes without outlines. Nusḥaot of which I have scant information I have left without an outline or color.

For some clarity on Nusach HaAri, Dr. Sarason recommends reading Stefan Reif, Judaism and Hebrew Prayer: New Perspectives on Jewish Liturgical History (Cambridge, 1993), pp. 251-255. Unfortunately, the pages are not all available on Google books. I also need some help determining what exactly happened to the Iraqi nusaḥ with the Ben Ish Chai… what exactly is the history of the Edot Hamizrach?

Version 2.2 incorporates important information on the history of Ethiopian Jewish liturgy from Dr. Kay Shelemay, G. Gordon Watts Professor of Music and of African and African American Studies at Harvard University. Based on her research of the Beta Israel, (research supported by other scholars and most recently by Dr. Steven Kaplan at Hebrew University) the oldest sources of liturgy used by the community were derived "from Ethiopian Christian sources at relatively late dates (mainly post 15th century)." It's impossible now not to wonder about Yemenite influence on a Judaizing community of Ethiopians who converted to Judaism at some point in the last millenium. My sincerest hope is that this finding reinforces the beautiful and strong connection that the Beta Israel have as fully part of the Jewish people and our common heritage. We are all born strangers, but are all united in our passion for Torah and our traditions.

Version 2.3 takes another look at Qumran and the Saducees. I've organized them both under Cohanite/Priestly traditions closely associated with the Temple and suspicious of folk/democratic/prophetic models being preserved by the Pharisaic tradition through drash.

This is a fantastic chart. Kol ha kavod!!!
What about going past the early 1960s- ie: where is the Renewal siddur? the newer Conservative and Reform siddurim? The non-official ones like Likrat Shabbat and the New Machzor?
If you wanted to include it – the Kohenet siddur ? The newly published Hebrew atheist siddur? The older secular humanist siddurim in English?
Dates of the various modern issues of New Union, Gates of Prayer, Harlow, Silverman etc. would be useful as well.
I realize this may be beyond the scope of what you set out to do, but it would be great to have. (And if you decide to do it, I'd help).
And I know that your source was from HUC, but I really don't see a lot of evidence for Reconstrutionist liturgy coming from Reform, it was really developed from the Conservative movement by (at that time) Conservative rabbis.

Expanding the chart to include individual siddurim rather than the nuchaot that they witness is outside the scope but I think it should be done. I'd love to map out the major influences and associations between nuschaot witnessed in 20th and 21st century siddurim. Eric Friedland is a great resource who can probably help us with this and I think a lot of people would like to see it too. Thanks for the feedback on Reconstructionist liturgies. There's lines between both Reform and Conservative, and the line from Reconstructionist to Conservative has a double arrow indicating that the influence is going both ways now. The source for this chart and that information wasn't HUC. So in the next version of the chart I'll be careful to make the feedback I've received from several liturgy scholars more clear. It's a techical hurdle, but if I could only create this chart with HTML 5 web elements then I could probably create inline footnotes. That would make the flowchart much more dynamic than a static image rendered offline using MS Visio (closed source, proprietary software).

Where do you think Egyptian Karaites fall on the map?
Also, I think early Reform was influenced by the German rite more than anything. Only in Mishkan Tefillah were there more overtures to the Polish rite.

Actually, Dr. Sarason and Dr. Friedland emphasized that early Liberal (Reform) nuschaot were influenced locally by the nusach of their respective community. So for example in Hamburg, the Liberal nusach was derived from the Spanish-Portuguese tradition.
Re: Egyptian Karaites, I would like to know more. We would certainly be interested in any digital edition of their liturgy.

According to your Historical Map the Minchag Italia and Aschkenas descended from the Babylonian Rite. However, as far as I know, some claim that the Ashkenazi rite descended from the ancient rite of Eretz Yisrael?

The Lithuanian tradition of prayer from the school of the Vilna Gaon is another line to consider adding. Also Rav Goren put out a siddur which unified all existing nusachs.

Can you say more? Is the Maghrebi nusaḥ one that survived the influx of refugees from the Spanish expulsion, or is it a Sepharadi nusaḥ that evolved independently since the 16th century? If it is a Sepharadi nusaḥ which branch of the Sepharadi family did it develop from: Lisbon, Castille, or Catalonia?

tefilat hachodesh is standard livorno text. It was used not only by N.Africans but also by Turks and others, (Modern) SYrian text and others are based on it. In fact its probably the basis of pan-Sephardic siddur though the newer pan-Sephardic siddurim incorporate more oriental elements.

Aharon, how is the chart doing on the Sefaradi side? Any obvious errors? How might you reorganize it?
2015-04-12 – 23 Nisan 5775 at 6:49 pm · Reply.
I would add though that many N. African communities to this day have a nusah that more or less follows the basic outline of what the chart describes as "Livorno," including in some part of N. Africa continuing with the longer version of Barukh She`Amar, using the alternate Shabbat Mussaf, and "de`ah bina vehaskel," and the additions to birkat hamazon (which are less common among Syrians, though also found in Spanish/Portuguese communities) and "ki Kel Melekh Gadol veQadosh Atta" as well as various qabbalistic additions (which are commonly found in S&P rites). (See the various modern versions of Tefillat haHodesh or Siddur Patah Eliyahou, which are basically updates to the old siddurim that exclude some of the more esoteric elements.) So the Maghrebi minhag should at least have their own arrow from Livorno.
Some Maghrebi communities also incorporate minhagim that are not strictly found in the Livorno siddurim as well. For example, there are also a few commonalities between the Maghrebi minhag and the Carpentras/Cavaillon/etc. minhag, such as "yahid" in the hatima of yishtabah, which might suggest some independent influence from what you list as the Provencal/Catalonian tradition on Maghrebi customs.
One could almost says that there's a cottage industry of N. Africans and Temani perpetuating their own versions of the Livorno rite.

Dos iz richtig! In fact Va'ani Tefilati includes alot of oriental options (long Kaddish etc) and sometimes emendations made from the Oriental/Sephardic Nusah to the main text, like for example maintaining the acrostic in "befi yesharim" or having "tefilas kol peh" in the shmone esrei In fact if it had given options of "ahavas olam" for morning and "Sim sholom" for night it would would be an altgemeiner siddur like "Nusach achid" or the farshidene 'Sfard' siddurim available.

re: 1) Forgive me for not including more room for notes in this chart — the "Provençal" nusaḥ referred to is in reference to the siddur Rashi.
re: 2) This chart is referring to the older nusaḥ anglia — the tradition that was witnessed in the "Etz Ḥayyim" of Jacob Ben Jehudah Ḥazzan of London.
Certainly, the chart could be expanded and improved — right now I'm feeling like the amount of content is pushing past the 11×17″ dimensions allotted. Thank you for your comment.

Thank you for all your hard work! It is wonderful that someone is doing this. Yasher Koach!


I am new to this site and have missed 5 weeks of the 10# in 10 weeks. Is anyone up for a faster pace, but still doable challenge? I've got 55 pounds total to lose, and know weightloss will slow down, but I am hoping if I can motivate myself by jump-starting it, maybe I can stay on track. Anyone want to join me?
I am 5 weeks into the challenge already, and am expecting my weight loss is about to slow down, so I would feel more comfortable sticking to my 1lb a week commitment, however, I am interested in how you do, and will hold you accountable to your commitment, if you can keep me accountable to my 1lb a week... what you think?
You can still join this challenge - 1 lb/week and meet the challenge by losing your 5 at the end...... Always set obtainable, realistic goals which mean success for you! No matter what you do, don't set yourself up for failure.
