Richters (Australian Aboriginal family)

The Richters or Rictors are an Aboriginal Australian family who are the last known group to be living a hunter-gatherer way of life. They were located in the Great Victoria Desert in 1986. They were undiscovered longer that the Pintupi Nine, who were found in the Gibson Desert in 1984 and proclaimed to be the "last of the nomads". History Because Great Victoria Desert was remote and unsuitable for mining and pastoral operation, contact between settlers and local Aboriginal people happened much later than in most of Australia. Aboriginal people left the area, partly moved on because of the rocket tests at Woomera, South Australia and the atomic bomb tests at Emu Field and Maralinga. In 1986, Pila Nguru Aboriginal Corporation general manager Ian Baird travelled with Aboriginal elders into the desert, where they found traces of a group still living in the desert. A few days later they tracked down the group of seven. The family resettled in Tjuntjuntjara, Western Australia, and two of them still live there .

When Dreams Come True (musical)

When Dreams Comes True is a musical in three acts and four scenes with music by Silvio Hein and both book and lyrics by Philip Bartholomae. Plot The plot of When Dreams Comes True centers around the playboy Kean Hedges who has recently been disinherited by his millionaire father after pursuing a scandalous relationship with a chorus girl in Paris. He is forced to sell his possessions in order to obtain enough money to book passage back home to New York City on the transatlantic steamship Kaiser; barely scraping together enough to pay for accommodations in steerage among the lowest class passengers. Now penniless, he falls in love with his "dream girl" from afar, a first class passenger named Beth, but can not bring himself to her attention for fear that his reduced circumstances will invite her scorn. Upon returning to New York City he sets out to reform his life and win back his father's approval and inheritance in order that his dreams might come true. He does and they do, but not without some misadventures along the way for both Kean and Beth. All ends happily with their impending wedding with Kean's father's blessing. History When Dreams Comes True was created by Hein and Bartholomae as a starring vehicle for the actor and dancer Joseph Santley who both starred as Kean and choreographed the production. It was produced on Broadway by Bartholomae and was directed by Frank Smithson. The costumes were designed by B. Altman and Company and the sets were designed by Gates and Morange. It premiered at the Lyric Theatre on August 18, 1913. In the middle of its New York run it transferred to the 44th Street Theatre where it closed on October 11, 1913, after 64 performances. It then went on national tour. Other cast members included Marie Flynn as Beth, May Vokes as Matilda, Anna Wheaton as Margaret Smith, Frazer Coulter as Jerome K. Hedges, Clyde Hunnewell as Griggs, Amelia Summerville as Mrs. William Smith, and Edward Garvie as Hercules Strong. Hein's wife, the actress Anna Mooney, was also in the cast as Mrs. Hopkins-Davis-Story.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phellinus%20arctostaphyli

Phellinus arctostaphyli

Phellinus arctostaphyli, also known as the manzanita conk or the manzanita hoof polypore, is a species of shelf fungus. Native to western North America, this saprotrophic fungus only colonizes the wood of Ceanothus, Adenostoma, and Arctostaphylos. P. arctostaphyli is closely to related to three other North American Phellinus species, including Phellinus tremulae and Phellinus tuberculosus. However, in part due to the "economic insignificance of its hosts," P. arctostaphyli is relatively poorly studied as an individual species. The conks or hoofs (basidiocarps) appear perennially, are tough and woody themselves, with tiny pores on the underside and black to gray rings on top that are prone to fracturing longitudinally. This species was first described by William Henry Long in 1917 as Fomes arctostaphyli. In 1954, mycologist Josiah L. Lowe argued that it was a synonym of Fomes igniarius. Tuomo Niemelä moved it into the genus Phellinus in 1975. The presence of P. arctostaphyli has been correlated with manzanita mortality in Mexico.

Tom Patterson Theatre

Introduction In 2022, the eagerly anticipated Tom Patterson Theatre joined the lineup of Stratford Festival Theatres, a project delayed since 2018 by COVID. In order provide more theatrical experiences, this addition to The Stratford Festival will not only strengthen community engagement but bring further external engagement in the Architecture community. Located along the Avon River in Stratford Ontario, the Tom Patterson Theatre stands out as a new hub for theatre. Team Selected from 92 entries in an international contest, Hariri Pontarini Architects won the opportunity to design the new theatre. Located in Toronto, Ontario, Hariri Pontarini Architects bring a design factor that international firms may not have – local knowledge and connection. Partner Siamak Hariri was point person on this project, creating the Tom Patterson as a “cultural beacon”. History The Tom Patterson Theatre speaks to the history of the festival, named after Tom Patterson, who was a trade journalist, but became the founder of the festival. After returning from World War II, Patterson wanted to bring Shakespeare to Stratford. Stratford was a struggling town that had a dwindling railroad industry. Patterson worked hard to start the festival as he hoped to continue the success of Stratford through theatre. In 1952, Patterson reached out to multiple directors before catching the attention of British Director Tyrone Guthrie. Patterson also reached out to Tanya Moiseiwitsch for theatre design. These three started their first season in 1953; the festival did not have a building yet and therefore performed in a tent. Actors and staff alike persevered through three seasons of outdoor theatre productions before getting their first building, Avon Theatre now Studio Theatre, in 1957. Now in 2024, the Stratford Festival has four theatres, including the Festival Theatre, Avon Theatre, Studio Theatre, and the newly constructed The Tom Patterson Theatre. Performances and Uses Since opening in 2022, Tom Patterson Theatre is a part of the yearly festival which showcases Shakespeare plays and other theatre productions. Tom Patterson also has a secondary performance hall that can be rented out for private events like weddings. The Stratford Festival provides educational experiences for both students and teachers which includes workshops, meet and greets, and camps; this new facility provides additional opportunities for these learning experiences. Construction Originally the Kiwanis Community Center, this buildings purpose was deemed inadequate by the community. 111 Lakeside Drive is now transformed into the beautiful theatre and garden known as Tom Patterson Theatre, which ties together the surrounding nature and historic houses through design. The choice of site was also due to the performance space being seen as “Rock in a metaphorical stream”. Originally there was a curling rink on this site, however the community felt it did not serve the needs of the community. Placing the theatre in this location was meant to liven up the area and connect people with the surrounding nature. Construction on the theatre began in 2018, however the construction was stalled in 2020 due to COVID restrictions, and was finally finished in 2022. The final cost of building The Tom Patterson theatre ended up around $72 million CND. Structural System The structural system includes reinforced concrete below grade and a steel frame above. There are continuous perimeter steel outriggers to frame out the curves of the building. The perimeter framing is supported by exposed custom steel plate columns. The front entrance canopy consists of a large double cantilever supported by one exterior cruciform column. The Theatre walls are made of concrete to ensure acoustic isolation from the remaining gathering space. There are twenty-four-meter-span Vierendeel trusses that support the roof and hanging catwalks above the performance space. Material Choosing material for this project went deeper than aesthetics. Built using all sustainable and natural materials, the interior of the building and theatre places include oak floors and ceilings. The stage was custom made from Canadian birch, whereas the wall cladding was made of oak in order to give the dark colour required in theatre spaces. However, the primary theatre has walnut finishes because it was designed to ensure the openings would not degrade the acoustic performance of the space. Exterior of the Building Surrounding the building is landscaping designed by Hariri Pontarini Architects with Holbrook & Associates and The Planning Partnership. There is a community garden (The Ophelia Lazaridis Garden), outdoor classroom, and outdoor terraces. Dividing the gardens is multiple garden pathways to move through. Additionally, the garden has flowers native to the area in keeping with the intent to blend the building into the riverside landscape. Ophelia Lazaridis Garden The Ophelia Lazaridis Garden is made up of a gentle walking path surrounded by drought-resistant and native plants. These include: Physostegia virginiana(obient plant) Salvia x sylvestris (Woodland sage) Lavender Hedge Fund Potted Boxwood Climbing Horsetail Liriodendron tulipifera (Tulip tree) Little spire Russian sage Purple Loosestrife Gooseneck Loosestrife Red Silver Maiden Grass Anemone x Hybrida Donors With such a big project the festival required donors. Donor Ophelia Lazaridis donated $15 million to this project — the site includes Lazaridis Hall and Ophelia Lazaridis Garden in her honour. Lazaridis Hall is a public room that has space for up to 250 people. Other donors include Dan Bernstein & Claire Foerster, and Kelly & Michael Meighen.

Mount Wilkie

Mount Wilkie is a summit in British Columbia, Canada. Description Mount Wilkie is the highest point of the Lardeau Range which is a subrange of the Selkirk Mountains. The true summit (2,699 m) lies less than 800 metres west of the 2,630-metre summit marked as Mount Wilkie on topographic maps. The mountain is located southeast of Trout Lake on the northern boundary of Goat Range Provincial Park. Precipitation runoff and glacial meltwater from this mountain's slopes drains to Trout Lake, thence Lardeau River. Mount Wilkie is more notable for its steep rise above local terrain than for its absolute elevation as topographic relief is significant with the summit rising 1,985 metres (6,512 ft) above Trout Lake in less than and 1,355 metres (4,445 ft) above Mobbs Creek in . History The mountain's name honors surveyor Octavius Bentley Neves Wilkie (1872–1942), who worked at Trout Lake for many years. He worked on the Alaska Boundary Survey, surveyed the boundary country and in the Kootenays. He was also an original member of the Alpine Club of Canada. The toponym was officially adopted March 31, 1924, by the Geographical Names Board of Canada. Climate Based on the Köppen climate classification, Mount Wilkie is located in a Subarctic climate zone of western North America. Winter temperatures can drop below −20 °C with wind chill factors below −30 °C. This climate supports an unnamed glacier on the north slope of the peak. The months of July through September offer the most favorable weather for climbing Mount Wilkie.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euphrasia%20semipicta

Euphrasia semipicta

Euphrasia semipicta, commonly know as the Peninsular eyebright, flowering plant endemic to the Tasman Peninsula in south-eastern Tasmania/ luturwita. Description This species is a short lived annual to perennial herb. Its height is usually below . Its stems are erect, branching above ground level. Its leaves are alternating opposite pairs, long and wide, appear semi-succulent with obvious deep venations with no more than 6 teeth per leaf, underside of leaf with characteristic patches of glands typical to most eyebrights, green to reddish in colour. Its flowers are in racemes situated at the end of branches, racemes with 5 – 10 pairs of flowers arranged in alternating opposite pairs, floral bracts similar to leaves. Individual flowers are hooded with three lobed lower lips, lower lips larges than upper. White, pink or purple in colour, often purple lines extending from throat, occasionally yellow spot on the inside of the lower lobes, flowering early spring, seasonally dependant autumn flowering. The fruit is a capsule long, slightly flattened. Naming Greek Euphrasia (delight, good cheer) referring to its common use as a herbal remedy from eye related ailments.  Latin semi (half) and pictus (brightly marked, painted) refers to the bright purple lines extending from the throat of the flower, but indicating the lines are not seen as prominently as on other species. Life history Euphrasia semipicta has an annual to relatively short lived (up to 5yr) perennial life cycle. Following reproductive activity, new growth is rarely stimulated and have a high mortality rate. For this reason, successful seedling recruitment is required for the population to persist. Exposure to light is the major requirement for Euphrasia seedlings to germinate. Ground lacking overhead canopy or open field conditions are preferential for recruitment. Germination occurs in the late winter to early spring. Seeds require a period of cooling and adequate dampening prior to and post germination. Stronger germination events have been linked to unusually wet spring periods. Large germination events have been recorded following fire, indicating that germination may be linked to cues additional to the seeds exposure to light. Low seed dispersal potential (majority of seeds spread within 30 cm of parental plant) combined with copious seed production suggests seeds may lie dormant in the soil for extended periods of time prior to germination. Distribution and habitat The eyebrights distribution is limited to a few known populations, all located on the eastern side of the Tasman Peninsular, south-east Tasmania/ lutruwita. Populations are transient and current distribution information may not be representative of extant populations. Historically the Euphrasia have been located in 5 populations on the Peninsular. The extreme endemism of this species is likely due to its poor dispersion and disturbance reliant lifecycle. Habitat consists of coastal heathy-woodlands and heathlands. Prefer low sparse vegetation, hence their abundance along the edges of cleared tracks and trails. Euphrasia semipicta is highly adapted to disturbance and will favour germination and recruitment following disturbance event such as fire or earth movement. Distribution within these habitats is limited by availability of light and open patches. Ecology Euphrasia species are hemi-parasites. Hemi-parasitism allows the plant to acquire nutrient and/or water from the host plant whilst still being capable of photosynthesis. Parasitic connection is made though specialised roots called haustorium. Euphrasia are non-obligate/ facultative parasite does not require a host in order to complete its life cycle, but given the chance will parasitise. Growth and reproduction rate is greatly reduced in the absence of a host. Euphrasia are non-host specific. Conservation Euphrasia semipicta is currently listed as ‘Endangered’ under the EPBC Act 1999 and TSP Act 1995. Disturbance required to stimulate recruitment makes inadequate or inappropriate fire/ disturbance regimes problematic if unable to sufficiently aid germination. The parasitic nature of the plant makes it indirectly susceptible to additional ecosystem threats affecting surrounding plant species (specifically Phytophthora) in heathland.

The W Philadelphia and Element Philadelphia

The W Philadelphia and Element Philadelphia is a 51-story skyscraper in the Center City neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The building contains two hotels, the Element Philadelphia, a brand by Westin Hotels, and the W Philadelphia, a brand of W Hotels, both of which are subsidiaries of Marriot International. At , it is the 9th-tallest building in Philadelphia, and 12th-tallest building in Pennsylvania, as well as the tallest hotel in Philadelphia. The building is built on the site of demolished One Meridian Plaza, which was heavily damaged after a fire in 1991, and later demolished in 1999. The building is located right next to Philadelphia City Hall, which puts it at the heart of Center City, with very convenient access to the various SEPTA lines and various Philadelphia landmarks. Architecture The building's two hotels have two separate entrances, both located on Chestnut Street, while the parking garage is located on S 15th Street. The Element contains 460 rooms, while The W contains 295 rooms, totaling 755 rooms. Near the top of the tower, there is a large LED W sign that lights up at night, as well as various vertical lights and stepped terraces. The building has a 7-story limestone base, with each hotel entrance having a different design, made up of various materials. The design of the façade by the entrances is supposed to pay homage to William Penn's planned city, with a grid-like design. The design of much of the building is supposed to represent many elements of Philadelphia. There is also a restaurant and a retail store enterable from the street.

Chauncey E. Goodrich

Chauncey Enoch Goodrich (CHAWN-see EE-nuhk GOOD-rich; September 19, 1801 – May 11, 1864) was an American Presbyterian minister, but he is better known for his work in Horticulture, having cultivated the predecessor to the widely grown Russet Burbank potato cultivar. During his horticultural career, Goodrich also experimented with raising peaches, grapes, sweet potatoes, and other fruits and plants during the cold winter and unpredictable summer. During the potato blight of the 1840s, he shifted his focus to researching the issue. Chauncey E. Goodrich is also known for having the first prescription of cylindrical lenses to correct astigmatism in the United States. Early life Childhood and Youth Chauncey Enoch Goodrich was born on September 19, 1801, in Troy, New York. His parents were Dr. Enoch Goodrich and Rebecca (Gale) Goodrich. He was the 7th of 9 children in his family. In early 1806, Goodrich moved from Troy to Elbrige, New York, which was at that time part of Camillus. During the family's first year residing in the new town, they were all struck with an undocumented disease. As a result of this, Chauncey's mother, Rebecca, died in 1806, followed by his father, Enoch, the next year. This left young Chauncey an orphan, and he soon moved into the home of his uncle by marriage, Colonel Nathan Beekwith, in Rhinebeck, New York. He lived in this home until the age of 14, when he went to work with his relatives in a tannery in Brunswick. In 1817, he began his career of working for the church under the pastoral care of Reverend John Younglove, in Brunswick. Education Little is known of Goodrich's education during his childhood, but is later education is well documented. In 1820, he entered a course of classical study with a view to the ministry, finishing at Lansingburgh Academy. He entered the junior class at Union College, Schenectady, in 1823. He supported himself during this time with a small patrimony of less than 300 dollars, with other financial assistance from the Presbytery of Troy, the Ladies' Benevolent Society of Troy, and his friends. He graduated in 1825, with a good standing in his class. While in college, Goodrich was a member of the Phi Beta Cappa and the Philomathean Societies. In that same year, Chauncey entered the Princeton Theological Seminary, in New Jersey. It was also reported that Goodrich was having problems with his eyesight. These problems became so severe that they were "...distorting every object, and rendering the study of Greek and Hebrew very difficult." While in seminary, Goodrich not only continued to receive support from the Presbytery of Troy, but he also received support from the institution's education fund. Astigmatism Chauncey E. Goodrich is credited to have had the first prescription of cylindrical lenses to correct astigmatism in the United States. It was recorded that Goodrich was readily distinguish the transverse spars of ships, but not those that were vertical. Upon trying on a passerby's pair of concave glasses, the masts became clear, but the yards were indistinct. He concluded that the lenses of his eyes were not spherical, but spherodical. There are conflicting sources on exactly who designed the final pair of glasses, but the general consensus is that they were made in a collaboration between Goodrich and John McAllister Sr, an American optometrist. A series of correspondence in 1828-1829 between the two men is often sited as the evidence of this claim. Married Life and Adulthood Family and Marriage Goodrich married Margaret Tracy Goodrich on April 10, 1830. The couple had 4 children: Anna, Cornelia, Susan, and Rachel Tracy. It is known that at least 4 of Chauncey's siblings were still alive at during his adulthood, while 2 more siblings have unrecorded dates of death, so it is unknown whether or not they were still alive at this time. Margaret was Goodrich's only wife, but it is her date of death is also not recorded, so it is uncertain if Margaret became a widow upon Chauncey's death, or if Chauncey died a widower. Career in the Church In autumn of 1828, Goodrich was licensed to preach by the Presbytery of Troy, and then immediately went to teach at Oneida Institute, a manual labor school in Whitesboro, New York. He worked under his uncle, George Washington Gale, who would later found Knox College, in Galesburg, Illinois. While there, he often preached at New York Mills. In 1830, Goodrich was ordained by Oneida Presbytery and became the pastor of the Presbyterian Church in Salisbury. His salary at this church was 400 dollars, which is 13 and a half thousand dollars in today's money. Although he reportedly was in constant ill health, Goodrich was said to have only ever missed 2 or 3 Sabbaths. Over the next 12 years, he was a pastor in Salisbury, Fly Creek, Winfield, and Holland Patent. All of these positions were in the state of New York. Goodrich's career as a pastor terminated in 1841. During his later life he also wrote about Pastoral Theology Horticulture Soon after the end of his career as a pastor, Chauncey E. Goodrich moved to Utica, New York, where he started a market garden in 1843. Goodrich was not content with the normal routine of sowing and reaping, so he spent his time experimenting with raising peaches, grapes, sweet potatoes, and other fruits and plants not previously grown in the cold winters and fluctuating summers of Oneida County. When blight began appearing on potatoes, he carefully studied the different effects of both climate and cultivation on his crops. Many of Chauncey's plans proved to be either too expensive or unsuccessful. He did, however, gain many premiums from agricultural societies as well as useful knowledge. He soon found what he thought was the problem with potatoes. The exact content of this supposed breakthrough is unrecorded. Through his brother-in-law, at a cost of 200 dollars, Goodrich procured potatoes from Chile, in South America, where potatoes are indigenous. He figured that breeding potatoes from Chile would lead to a generation of tubers with more vigor. Through many years of research, Goodrich created many potato cultivars and varieties. Many of these could resist rot much better that their original American counterparts. These varieties include: the early Goodrich the Calico the Gleason the Harrison Garnet Chili The Garnet Chili was the predecessor to the Russet Burbank, which is the most widely grown potato in North America. One In the months leading up to his death, Goodrich spent much of his time writing 2 important papers on the culture and disease of the potato, embodying all of his prior work and research, as it was all he had the strength to do. He finished these just a few days before his death. Other Occupations Chauncey E. Goodrich was the chaplain of the New York State Lunatic Asylum for 19 years.

Ramë Manaj

Ramë Manaj (born 24 July 1954) is a former politician in Kosovo. He was the mayor of Klina from 2001 to 2006 and was one of two deputy prime ministers of the Republic of Kosovo between 2008 and 2010. He was a member of the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) during his time in public life and was the party's secretary-general from 2006 to 2010. Early life and career Manaj was born to a Kosovo Albanian family in the village of Gllarevë in Klina, in what was then the Autonomous Region of Kosovo and Metohija in the People's Republic of Serbia, Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia. He was raised in the community, attended secondary school in nearby Peja, and earned a Bachelor of Laws degree from the University of Pristina. He wrote for the Rilindja daily newspaper from 1977 to 1979 and worked for Bauxite Mining in the municipality for ten years. He was dismissed in 1990, against the backdrop of growing tensions between the Serb and Albanian communities in Kosovo. Politician Manaj joined the Democratic League of Kosovo in 1990 and led one of its sub-branches in Klina for the next five years. In 1995, he became a member of the party's Klina presidency. Serbia lost effective control over most of Kosovo, including the Klina municipality, following the 1998–99 Kosovo War. Mayor of Klina (2001–06) Manaj was given the seventh position on the LDK's electoral list for Klina in the 2000 Kosovan local elections. He finished ninth among the party's candidates and was elected when the list won a majority victory with seventeen out of thirty-one seats. Ismat Rraci was chosen as the municipality's mayor after the election. He was assassinated by unknown parties on 23 April 2001, and Manaj was chosen as his replacement. Manaj said in March 2002 that he would not discuss the return of Serb refugees to Klina until, in his phrasing, Serbs cooperated in the identification of war criminals and gave up their dream of colonizing the territory. The LDK won another victory in Klina in the 2002 local elections. Manaj (who, somewhat unusually, appeared in the fifth rather than the lead position on the party's list) was confirmed afterward for another term as mayor. In June 2004, he became a member of the LDK's presidency. Notwithstanding his comments three years earlier, Manaj said in 2005 that conditions for the return of Serb refugees to Klina were improving and that dialogue had started between the local Serb and Albanian populations. Søren Jessen-Petersen, special representative of the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK), praised Manaj later in the year for implementing Standards on return. Political advisor and party official (2006–07) Kosovo president and LDK leader Fatmir Sejdiu appointed Manaj as his political advisor in February 2006. One month later, Kolë Berisha was elected as speaker of the Assembly of Kosovo, and Manaj was reassigned as his advisor. Manaj was also chosen as secretary-general of the LDK in December 2006. The following year, he was named as a party representative on Kosovo's constitutional commission and served on a working group on state symbols. Some sources have indicated that Manaj oversaw an intelligence service operated by the LDK. After the United Nations Security Council rejected a resolution on the status of Kosovo in July 2007, Manaj said that the only path forward was for Kosovo "to be recognized unilaterally" by various states, led by the United States of America. He rejected the suggestion of a confederation with Serbia, describing the idea as "deranged." Parliamentarian (2007–08) Manaj appeared in the thirteenth position on the LDK's electoral list for the 2007 Kosovan parliamentary election, which was the first to be held under open list proportional representation. He finished in sixteenth place among the party's candidates and was elected when the list won twenty-five seats. The rival Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) defeated the LDK in the overall vote but fell well short of a majority, and Manaj subsequently represented the LDK in difficult talks for a new coalition government. Cabinet minister (2008–10) The PDK and LDK formed a new government on 9 January 2008. PDK leader Hashim Thaçi became prime minister, and Manaj was appointed as one of two deputy prime ministers. By virtue of holding a cabinet position, he was required to resign from the assembly. In January 2008, Manaj dismissed an offer by the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) for further talks on the status of Kosovo. He was quoted as saying, "All the reasons for continuing talks [...] have been exhausted. Even if these negotiations had continued for years, they would have again ended up being unsuccessful, because Serbia lacks the readiness to recognize the state of Kosova [the Albanian-language name for Kosovo]. It only wishes to prolong the Kosova status process as much as it can." Shortly before Kosovo's declaration of independence, he said, "most [Kosovo Serbs] will continue to stay in Kosovo and will contribute in its overall development. Those who are influenced by Belgrade politics might behave irrationally, but we believe that with time irrationality will disappear and Serbs in general will accept the new reality." The Republic of Kosovo unilaterally declared independence from Serbia on 17 February 2008. Manaj condemned the Serbian government's decision to hold its own local elections in Kosovo later in 2008. Concerning future negotiations with Serbia, he said, "There could be talks on technical issues, which are in the interest of our citizens, but there could be no talks on status and related issues. This is clear, definite, and final." While serving as deputy prime minister, Manaj signed an agreement with Estonia on the recognition of the Republic of Kosovo. In September 2008, he became one of the first five people to receive a Republic of Kosovo diplomatic passport. He later criticized a decision by the European Union Rule of Law Mission in Kosovo (EULEX) to sign an agreement with Serbia's ministry of internal affairs, saying that no agreement would be permissible without the Republic of Kosovo's consent. Manaj welcomed the nomination of Joseph Biden as the Democratic Party's vice-presidential nominee for the 2008 United States presidential election, given Biden's record of support for the Republic of Kosovo, although he added, "Strong bonds of cooperation between the United States and Kosova have already been established, and regardless of who wins the elections we do not expect changes in the US policy towards Kosova." The LDK experienced significant divisions after party founder Ibrahim Rugova's death in 2006 and remained divided during the 2008–10 ministry. Manaj was considered a prominent supporter of party leader Fatmir Sejdiu. In July 2009, Manaj rejected a suggestion that the Democratic League of Dardania (LDD) could merge into the LDK. The LDK withdrew from the Republic of Kosovo's government in October 2010. All ministers from the party tendered their resignations; Manaj was the only one to meet with Hashim Thaçi in person to explain his decision. The following month, Isa Mustafa succeeded Sejdiu as LDK leader. Manaj was re-elected to the party presidency, although he stood down as general secretary at this time. Manaj appeared in the fourteenth position on the LDK's electoral list in the 2010 Kosovan parliamentary election, fell to forty-fifth place in the vote totals, and was not elected when the list won twenty-seven seats. Since 2010 Manaj has largely withdrawn from public life since 2010. He serves as president of the State Agency of Kosovo Archives. In 2020, he led a government commission for missing persons.

The Gathering at South Forsyth

The Gathering at South Forsyth is a proposed mixed-use development in the Atlanta metropolitan area to be located in Forsyth County, Georgia near the city of Alpharetta. The centerpiece of the development is an 18,000-seat arena, intended to bring a National Hockey League franchise back to the metro Atlanta area. The Gathering at South Forsyth is modeled after The Battery Atlanta, a mixed-use development in Cobb County anchored by Truist Park, home of the Atlanta Braves of Major League Baseball. History In 2023, rumors of an NHL team returning to Atlanta began to emerge from ESPN analyst John Buccigross as hints were dropped about Atlanta coming back to the NHL for the first time since the Atlanta Thrashers left in 2011. On April 17, 2023, Vernon Krause, owner of Krause Sports and Entertainment announced plans to build an entertainment center called The Gathering at South Forsyth which included an arena built for a potential NHL team. If built, the arena would sit 18,000 for hockey and 20,000 for concerts.A week later, on April 25, the Forsyth County Board approved plans to move forward with the project. Then in December 2023, fellow ESPN analyst Kevin Weekes revealed more details on The Gathering at South Forsyth which said the plans would move forward. In January 2024, The Forsyth County voted 4 to 1 to move plans forward again on the massive complex which would cost $2 billion on the condition that Krause get an NHL franchise. In March 2024, detalls on the cost of the arena came out which said that the arena would cost $700 million and that ASM Global would manage the arena, a group that has managed other arenas such as, T-Mobile Arena and Crypto.com Arena. Also in March, former NHL player Anson Carter and his new group Alpharetta Sports & Entertainment revealed a competing bid for a potential third Atlanta NHL team; Carter's proposal would be located at the site of the North Point Mall, seven miles south of The Gathering site.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alsa%20Masa

Alsa Masa

The Alsa Masa was a rightwing vigilante group in the Philippines initially formed in early 1984 specifically to combat the New People's Army in Barangay Agdao, Davao City. It was then later revived and expanded in April 1986 with the support of the Philippine Constabulary's Davao Metro District Command. It was created at a time when the NPA was still experimenting with approaches like urban insurrectionism, creating an atmosphere of extreme violence in Mindanao. However, Alsa Masa itself was soon noted to also be a perpetrator of numerous human rights violations, creating a cycle of violence in the locality. Many of Alsa Masa's members were later recruited into the Civilian Armed Forces Geographical Units which the Philippine government created in July 1987. Background By the early 1980s, there had been about a decade of conflict between the Martial Law regime of Ferdinand Marcos and the New People's Army of the Marxist–Leninist-Maoist Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP). The CPP was established during the time of Marcos' first term as president by remnants of an earlier Marxist–Leninist party which had effectively been defeated by prior Presidential administrations. Barred from running for a third term as president, Marcos managed to extend his hold in power beyond two constitutionally-allowed four year terms by putting the Philippines under martial law in September 1972, citing social unrest in the wake of the economic instability created by his own debt-driven government spending during his reelection campaign. Marcos played up the then still newlly-formed Communist Party of the Philippines to help justify the declaration of Martial Law, but this had the effect of mythologizing the group and making it easier to recruit Filipinos fleeing the administration's political suppression, or angered by the regime's numerous human rights abuses. Marcos had taken full control of the Philippines' military, abolished freedom of speech and the freedom of the press, as well as many other civil liberties. He dissolved the Philippine Congress and shut down media establishments critical of his Administration. This period in Philippine history is remembered for numerous human rights abuses, targeting political opponents, student activists, journalists, religious workers, farmers, and others who fought against Marcos - including 3,257 known extrajudicial killings, 35,000 documented tortures, 759 "disappeared", and 70,000 incarcerations documented by international human rights organizations. 1982 gave Marcos' forces several significant victories against the CPP in Mindanao, notably the death of prominent party thinker and idealogue Edgar Jopson in September 1982. But from 1983 onwards, various major events led to many Mindanaoans being radicalized and joining the NPA's ranks. The 1983 Philippine economic nosedive and the Assassination of Ninoy Aquino a few months later saw the New People's Army grow to seven fronts (Battalion sized units), In order to keep its large number of cadres supplied, the NPA depended heavily on local citizens for supplies, increasing the incidences of abusive behavior, and reducing support for their cause. This coincided with a decision to experiment with strategies like urban insurrectionism. Severe violence began with assassinations of corrupt officials and policemen, but Mid-1984 and August 1985 saw 16 journalists killed where only six had been killed in the decade between 1975 and 1984. Agdao, the urban poor Barangay from which of the NPA got much of its support, began to be known as "Nicaragdao," the foreign press began labelling Davao the Philippines "Murder Capital" and "Killing Fields," and the NPA's experiments with urban insurrectionism led all of Mindanao to be labeled "the laboratory of the revolution." Formation In 1984, rightwing vigilantes headed by Marcos supporter Wilfredo “Baby” Aquino formed the armed group "Alsa Masa" (lit. "People's Uprising") to counter them. This move made Baby Aquino a sort of “political overlord” in Agdao, with the Alsa Masa becoming “notorious for its own lawless activities, including liquidations of suspected rebels.” Aquino was assassinated in November 1985. Reconstitution The Alsa Masa was then reconstituted in 1986 with the support of Philippine Constabulary Davao City Metropolitan Command commander Lt. Colonel Franco Calida. The Alsa Masa 's efforts, coinciding with infighting within the NPA itself, caused the NPA in Mindanao to launch a hunt for deep penetration agents among their ranks and had the effect of reducing NPA presence in Davao. Meanwhile, howerver, Alsa Masa itself was documented to be committing human rights violations themselves. Local responses in Davao Most Davao residents remained staunchly against violence from either extreme. However, these peaceful citizens lacked the political clout to influence the situation. One stabilizing element during the mid-1980s was the designation of then-Colonel Rodolfo Biazon as commander of the 3rd Marine Brigade assigned to Davao. In what the international press dubbed "the most sophisticated approach" to addressing the insurgency, Biazon eschewed the aggressive stance preferred by the Philippine constabulary and instead focused on outreach and community engagement - visiting schools and communities, and assuring the public that any erring Marines disciplined for any abuses. People Power revolution In the meantime, the Marcos regime had been overthrown by the civilian-led People Power revolution. The people of Davao, organized into groups such as the Yellow Friday Movement of Soledad Duterte, had helped bring the revolution about. Marcos' opponent Corazon Aquino had replaced Marcos as President of the Philippines, and Duterte's son Rodrigo became Mayor of Davao. There were initially hopes that Aquino would be able to forge a peace with the Communist Party of the Philippines, but rightwing elements in Aquino's government were able to create an atmosphere of distrust significant enough to create a permanent rift between Aquino and the Philippine left. After 1987 In July 1987, the new Aquino government created a concept called the Civilian Armed Forces Geographical Unit (CAFGU), an irregular auxiliary force of the Armed Forces of the Philippines focusing on anti-insurgency efforts in the countryside. Many of Alsa Masa's members were later recruited into the CAFGU. References Philippines Military

2002 Durand Cup

The 2002 Durand Cup is the 114th season of the Durand Cup, the oldest football tournament in Asia. All matches were played in the Ambedkar Stadium in Delhi. Mahindra United defeated Churchill Brothers 5–0 in the final, in only the third time that five goals were scored by the winning team in the final. Qualification Delhi's City Club and Tarun Sangha entered the pre-quarterfinal stage after wins in their respective qualifying group stage fixtures. However, they failed to make it past that stage with Border Security Force and Army XI progressing, joining ten other teams, all of which were seeded directly to the quarter-finals. Group A Group B Pre-quarterfinals Border Security Force and Army XI advanced to the quarter-finals following their wins over City Club and Indian National respectively in the final fixtures of their respective groups. Both recorded consecutive wins earning six points each and topped their groups. The Border Security Force were included in Group C of the quarter-final stage and Army XI in Group D. Group I Group II Knockout stage Quarter-finals Group A Group B Group C Group D Semi-finals Mahindra United used a defensive strategy in their 3–0 semi-final win against Indian Telephone Industries by employing five defenders. It was made to counter the latter's strikers George Ekeh and Mike Okoro, and Mohammad Salissu. Anthony Pereira was included as an additional defender in place of striker Raman Vijayan. Churchill Brothers made their first final in the tournament's history after their win over East Bengal in the second semifinal. Ratan Singh scored for them in either half. The first came off the bar from Amin Sayed Mousavi's shot that Singh headed in before East Bengal equalised through midfielder Chandan Das' goal. Bengal's introduction of I. M. Vijayan yielded very little due to his poor coordination with Brazilian striker Jose Carlos Da Silva. Singh's winner subsequently came in the 86th minute. Final It was only the second time in 25 years that no team from Kolkata had made the Durand Cup final. Mahindra United were favorites going into the final owing to fact that they were joint-toppers of the table of the then ongoing National Football League that season, and also their wins in the Durand Cup coming against tougher sides. In its preview of the match, The Hindu wrote, "A balanced side, which does not rely heavily on its two Nigerian strikers, Austin Okolo and Bala Usman, Mahindra has been served well by the winger, Jules Alberto, who has scored two goals, and Raman Vijayan." About Churchill Brothers, they wrote, "... the presence of Ghana's Yusif Yakubu and Amin Sayed Mousavi of Iran, has turned out to be its strength, though the lack of support from the others should be causing concern to coach T. K. Chathunni." In a one-sided contest, Mahindra United thrashed their opponents 5–0 in the final. Churchill Brothers were reduced to ten men after defender Osumanu Husseni was sent off for a handball offence inside the box. Jules Alberto converted the penalty, before Khalid Siddique scored the second goal with a strike from 20 yards. Three goals were added in a span of 15 minutes in the second half; Usman converting a rebound of the opposition goalkeeper Edward Ansah taking to the tally to five.

Women in Punjab, India

Women in Punjab can also be known as Punjabans or Punjabi women. They are the female inhabitants of state of Punjab in India. They belong to diverse economic, social, cultural and caste backgrounds, but their residence in a common state gives them a shared identity. Women have made significant progress in Punjab but they still remain underrepresented in various fields due to the patriarchal structure still remaining intact in Punjabi society. History During the rule of Maharaja Ranjit Singh, schools for girls were also opened in many places. In 1870, to stop female infanticides, the British government passed a legislative act called Female Infanticide Prevention Act, 1870. This act banned the murder of female infants in Punjab and some other provinces. Names of some of the women from Punjab who participated in the freedom struggle of India are Rajkumari Amrit Kaur, Gulab Kaur, Adarsh Kumari, Kishan Kaur, Amar Kaur, Dalip Kaur, Shushila Devi, Har Devi, Purani and Pushpa Gujral. In 1993 and 1994, the 73rd and 74th Amendment Acts were passed that reserved one-third of seats in Panchayati Raj Institution (PRI) for women. These acts were passed to ensure equal participation for women. Rajinder Kaur Bhattal served as the first female Chief Minister of Punjab from November 1996 to February 1997. She took office after the resignation of Harcharan Singh Brar. She was the eighth female Chief Minister in Indian history. Demographics As of 2011 census, women constitute 47.23% of total population of Punjab, as compared to 48.5% at national level.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cocoa%20station

Cocoa station

Cocoa station is a future Brightline inter-city rail infill station in Cocoa, Florida. The station would be located just south of the Cocoa Curve, where Brightline's Orlando Line merges with the Florida East Coast Railway main line. The station will be located on property already owned by Brightline, on the south side of the interchange between U.S. Route 1 and State Road 528. A timeline for construction or opening has not yet been established. History Brevard County had long desired a Brightline infill station since 2016. That same year, the Space Coast Transportation Planning Organization (SCTPO) identified an area of land owned by Brightline used for construction and future maintenance on their Orlando Branch as the best possible location for a station. The site, located at 2800 Clearlake Road, was chosen in part due to its location just south of the Cocoa Curve due to Brightline already owning the land and trains being required to slow down while traversing the curve anyhow. The SCTPO, since their initial study, had been pursuing a station there since. Brightline had also expressed interest in adding a station on the Space Coast. Brightline indicated that Cocoa would make the most sense for a Space Coast station because of its close proximity to Port Canaveral's cruise lines as well as for positioning for future expansion to Jacksonville. In June 2023, Brightline purchased land in Titusville, with potentially having plans to develop a residential neighborhood and station in Cocoa. However, even after the West Palm Beach to Orlando segment began revenue service on September 22, 2023, Brightline had not yet formally committed to adding a station in Cocoa, as funding for it would need to be secured first. The SCTPO would eventually be able to secure $15.5 million in federal grants to fund the station. On March 12, 2024, following a unanimous decision by the Cocoa City Council, an additional $5 million from the city's budget was allocated to fund the station. The city of Cocoa would also begin to coordinate with community stakeholders to present a financial proposal to Brightline detailing station funding plans, as well as continue to push for additional federal and state grants, while Brevard County Commission Chair Jason Steele also plans to push for a tourism capital grant for the station. With a total of $20.5 million in funding for the station finally secured, a meeting was held between Cocoa city officials and Brightline executives later that day, leading to an announcement by Katie Mitzner, Brightline's director of public affairs, announcing that the company was finally ready to begin formalizing the station with Space Coast stakeholders and that they would begin finalizing a plan for the station. However, a timeline for construction or opening has not yet been established.

Hurt v The King

Hurt v The King is a decision of the High Court of Australia. The case concerned how sentencing courts should treat mandatory minimum sentences in Australia. An important finding in the case was that 'mandatory minimum' sentences are able to be discounted below the amounts stated in legislation. For example, a conviction under legislation with a mandatory minimum of four years still might result in a lesser sentence; if there are reasons to discount that four year amount.

Redland City Council v Kozik

Redland City Council v Kozik is a decision of the High Court of Australia. The case concerned the law of restitution in Australia. Facts Redland city council had collected around $10m through special rates from landholders on a waterfront, for the purpose of nearby construction works. It was later found that the special rates were unlawful and invalid. After the landholders sued to obtain their money back, the council attempted to argue that it should be allowed to keep part of the money collected which it had already spent on some of the construction works. Judgement The High Court in 3–2 majority held that the council was required to pay the full amount back. The court gave three reasons why this was required. Firstly, the council's obligation to carry out the works was independent of the legal regime for collecting the rates; secondly, the construction works didn't provide a benefit to the people the rates were collected from; and thirdly, allowing the council to keep the money would undermine the regulatory regime the council should have been following when it improperly imposed the special rates.

Danbury Country Park is a country park near Danbury in Essex, England, managed by Essex County Council. It is listed Grade II in Historic England's Register of Parks and Gardens, and it has received the Green Flag Award. History The park was originally a medieval deer park. The estate was purchased in 1589 by Walter Mildmay, Chancellor of the Exchequer to Elizabeth I, and Danbury Place was built. In 1758 Thomas Fytche, to whom the estate had passed through family succession, commissioned a map of the estate, which showed avenues of trees, formal gardens and a kitchen garden. The estate was sold in 1830 to John Round; Danbury Place, in a poor state of repair, was demolished and rebuilt. Round sold the estate in 1845 to the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, the owners until 1892; formal gardens were laid out and the house was renamed Danbury Palace. (It is now Grade II listed.) After several changes of ownership, the estate was purchased in 1947 by Essex County Council, and it became the base of the Mid Essex Technical College. In 1974 the house and associated buildings became part of Anglia Polytechnic University, and the south-eastern area, including three lakes, was designated a Country Park. Description The park covers . The three lakes, in the wooded area to the south, are thought to date from the period of the medieval deer park.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utahnax

Utahnax

Utahnax vannieri is a genus of kerygmachelid lobopodian from the Drumian of Utah, either from the Marjum or Wheeler formation. Description Utahnax'''s preserved section is roughly long, with at least eight pairs of ventral flaps similar to those found on Kerygmachela. Unusually, it does not appear to have had legs, suggesting the ventral flaps are broadened lobopods similar to the ventral flaps on radiodonts, and casting doubt on whether Kerygmachela had legs or whether reported “lobopods” are actually muscles of the flaps. In addition, it may have borne complex digestive glands similar to those of radiodonts. Ecology As Utahnax nests firmly within the predatory clade of “gilled lobopodians”, it can be assumed that it was also predatory. Its lack of lobopods also suggests it was primarily if not wholly pelagic, occupying a similar niche to radiodonts. This may explain the paucity of gilled lobopodians in the fossil record, as they may have competed with radiodonts in the pelagic predatory niches. Etymology The genus name Utahnax is derived from Utah, where it was found, and the Greek word anax, meaning “king” or “ruler”. The species name vannieri honours Jean Vannier for their extensive work on fossil ecdysozoans. Distribution Utahnax'' is known from only a singular part and counterpart. As the fossil was not precisely labelled, it is unknown where exactly it was found in Utah, although an origin in the Weeks Formation or most of the Wheeler Shale can be ruled out due to differing fossil preservation methods.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transvestigation

Transvestigation

Transvestigation (portmanteau of transgender and investigation) is an indirect inquiry seeking to determine the biological sex of an individual, primarily through photographic and video evidence. It is a key aspect of a conspiracy theory which gained popularity in the late 2010s and early 2020s that asserts that many or all celebrities and other prominent individuals, including athletes, politicians and historical figures, are or were transgender. Consequently, the methodology used by "transvestigators" adhering to this theory is subject to pareidolia and often suffers from confirmation bias. The basis for transvestigation ranges from the belief that some celebrities' gender identity simply differs from their sex, to the belief that their transgender identity is part of an initiation ritual known as "elite gender inversion", conducted by Hollywood and music industry elites or secret organizations such as the New World Order and Illuminati. GLAAD considers the movement to be an expression of transphobia. References LGBT-related conspiracy theories Transphobia

Dnipro Academic Drama and Comedy Theatre

The Dnipro Academic Drama and Comedy Theatre () is a 19th century city theatre and architectural landmark in the city of Dnipro, Ukraine. It is one of the city's oldest theatres. History A merchant Lutsky supported the construction of the Winter Theatre in 1847. The two-story structure was lavishly furnished. The Moscow Maly Theatre group, consisting of its director Vladimir Ermolov-Borozdin, which was then touring the area, served as the head for the new theatre, which was established on the site of the Lazar Hloba Park in 1927, by a resolution made by the municipal council's executive committee. Konstantin Trenyov's Lyubov Yarova was the first to be performed. In front of 1,200 spectators, Feodor Chaliapin, Leonid Sobinov, and Ivan Patorzhinsky gave performances. Nearly all of Maxim Gorky's works were performed on stage during the late 1920s and early 1930s of the previous century, and in 1927 the theatre was renamed to the Gorky Russian Drama and Comedy Theatre in his honor. Aleksandr Krasnoselsky's concept, which intended to rebuild the theater in a neoclassical style prior to World War II, was never fully implemented. The theatre was moved to Barnaul during the Great Patriotic War, and after the Wehrmacht departed the city, the building was bombed and mined. The theatre made a comeback to the city in the summer of 1944, with the building and repertory actively restored. The theater was entirely damaged during the war, but it was reconstructed in 1956 to resemble it did before. Within the canon of contemporary drama and comedic theater productions include works by both contemporary and classic authors at the theatre. In December 2006, it was renamed to its present day name of Dnipro Theatre of Comedy and Drama. The theatre received the honorific designation of "Academic" in 2007. Serhii Mazani has served as the theatre's creative director since 2018. The theatre's principal director, Anton Serhiiovych Mezhenin, has been carrying on the drama and comedy theatrical traditions since 2021. The theater's boiler room was renovated that same year. On 10 May 2022, with the involvement of artists from the Dnipro, Kharkiv, and Luhansk regions, the Dnipro Academic Drama and Comedy Theater arranged a unique event on a performance for Ukrainian military and displaced people caused by the Russian Invasion of Ukraine. The PrizrenFest festival in Kosovo debuted in July 2023 with the performance Maidan Inferno by the Dnipro Academic Theater of Drama and Comedy.

Pakistan denies this, claiming that it killed 8 terrorists instead while targeting the Hafiz Gul Bahadur militant group, a splinter organization of the Pakistani Taliban, and that it had successfully killed Sehra alias Janan, a high-value target commander. Another commander, Abdullah Mehsud, was claimed to have been killed, but later released a video refuting the claim. Pakistan went on to blame the Pakistani Taliban and its splinter militias for the deaths of hundreds of Pakistani civilians, and claimed that they used Afghanistan as a base and that they had support from within the Taliban. In response, the Afghan Defense Ministry stated it was targetting numerous Pakistani positions across the border. Mortar firing from the Afghan side injured more than 4 civilians and 3 military personnel in Kurram District. A Pakistani captain was also killed and 2 other soldiers injured by the shelling.

Hesselbach Castle

Hesselbach Castle was originally a Roman fortress of the older Odenwald line of the Neckar-Odenwald Limes. The present-day archaeological site is located in the area of Hesselbach, a district of the city of Oberzent in Odenwaldkreis, Germany. The former fortification is the most thoroughly researched military camp of the Odenwald Limes and the southernmost Limes fortress in Hesse. The Hesselbach fortress serves as a "reference fortress" for almost all other military camps of the Odenwald Limes; the insights gained here are used in Provincial Roman Archaeology to interpret the entire Limes section between the Main and Neckar rivers. Location The former Hesselbach Fortress is located on the northeastern outskirts of Hesselbach, on an area used as meadows, on the eastern edge of the village, not far from the present-day Hessian-Bavarian state border. Modern roads run in front of its frontal side and flanks, and the rear side connects to the courtyard and pasture land of an agricultural enterprise. The contours of the former fortification are clearly visible in the terrain. Topographically, the fortress is situated at 489 meters above sea level on the plateau of a ridge, which extends from the mouth of the Mümling River near Obernburg to the area around Schloßau in the southeast. The plateau, with its nutrient-poor weathered sandstone soils in a relatively harsh climate, did not and do not provide the best conditions for human settlements. However, the sandstone ridge runs parallel to the Mümling at a relatively consistent elevation, which likely made it a suitable border line. Pre-Roman finds are lacking in this area, and the Roman archaeological material also suggests a purely military, at best very short-term civilian, post-fortress use of the site. History and Significance The Hesselbach Fortress was briefly mentioned by Ernst Christian Hansselmann (1699–1776) in 1768. A more detailed description was provided half a century later by Johann Friedrich Knapp (1776–1848), who investigated the Odenwald Limes on behalf of Count Franz, Count of Erbach-Erbach. The Hessian Limes Commission likely conducted only superficial investigations of the fortress area, questioning the identification of the findings with a fortress at all, as only solid masonry could be proven at one location. In 1895, excavations were conducted by the Imperial Limes Commission under the direction of the route commissioner Friedrich Kofler. The results were published in 1896. In 1961, the provincial Roman archaeologist Dietwulf Baatz visited the Tripolitanian Limes fortress of Gholaia to study constructive details of preserved Roman fortress gates. Analogously, he applied his observations to graphic reconstructions of the gate structures at the Hesselbach Fortress. Baatz subsequently took scientific leadership of extensive investigations with the then-most modern methods when Hesselbach was excavated from 1966 to 1968 by the Saalburg Museum. These excavations, along with the resulting publication, were groundbreaking for further research on the Odenwald Limes. Since the excavation campaign of the 1960s, the Hesselbach Fortress has been considered the most thoroughly researched numerus fortress of the Odenwald Limes, mainly because, unlike other Odenwald fortresses, the interior layout could be extensively explored and documented. The interior layout of the other numerus fortresses of the Odenwald line has since often been reconstructed analogously to that of the Hesselbach Fortress. Findings While the excavations of the Imperial Limes Commission at the end of the 19th century primarily focused on the fortification of the fortress, the emphasis of the 1960s investigations was on the exploration of the interior. In both sets of findings, several construction phases could be differentiated from each other. Since no secure stratigraphic connection could be established between the periods of fortification and the phases of the interior structures, different designations were chosen. However, it is permissible to establish correlations between them based on the findings and the distribution of the archaeological material. Temporal correlations between the construction phases of the fortification and the interior structures. Fortification A is from Period 1, lasting from Trajanic times until approximately 115–130. Fortification B is from Period 2, lasting from approximately 115–130 to approximately 145. Fortification C is from Period 2a, lasting from approximately 145 to somewhere between 148–161. Partially destroyed Fortification C is from Period 3 (the post-fortress period), lasting from approximately 148–161, at the latest 165. Fortifications The shape and extent (and thus the enclosed area) of the fortification facilities of the Hesselbach Fortress did not undergo and major changes during the various construction phases. The different walls lay almost on top of each other. The entire area defined by the fortifications of the fortress occupied an area of around 6,000 square meters at all times. The main gate (Porta praetoria) of the fortification was oriented towards the Limes, which passed the fortress about 150 meters eastward. It is noteworthy that the right side gate, and not the main gate had the widest passage width, indicating that this side gate assumed the function of a "main gate." The contours of the fortress fortification are still clearly visible in the largely unbuilt meadow area, with the modern path running around the outside of the fortress. An information board with explanations can be found in the north of the fortress. Fortification A The oldest "Fortification A" was constructed together with the fortress during Trajanic times and was entirely built in wood and earth construction. The wooden palisade was reinforced towards the interior of the camp with an earth rampart supported by wooden stakes, which simultaneously served the function of carrying a simple walkway. In front of this wood and earth wall, there was a pointed ditch in the form of a so-called fossa Punica ("Punic ditch"), following a narrow berm. The side of the ditch facing the enemy was noticeably steeper than the side facing the camp. In this early phase, the fortification had only three gates: besides the main gate, there was a right side gate (Porta principalis dextra) and a left side gate (Porta principalis sinistra). The rear gate (Porta decumana) was missing and could not be confirmed in the form of a reduced gate. The gates were flanked by wooden gate towers, each supported by six posts. All evidence suggests the absence of corner towers, although it cannot be definitively concluded that they didn't exist. Fortification B In Hadrianic times, specifically between 115 and 130 CE, the wooden fortification was replaced by a two-layer dry stone wall construction. This construction, called "Fortification B," had a total width of 5 to 6.9 meters. The space between the outer wall, which was up to 1.5 meters wide, and the slightly narrower inner wall was filled with earth interspersed with timber stakes. The walls were made of uncut local sandstone. The construction possibly supported a walkway, possibly fixed with wooden planks, and on the enemy side, a battlement made of boards or wickerwork. The punic ditch, created in phase A, continued to serve as a defensive ditch but had been partially filled in over the years, losing its main purpose. The wooden gate structures were also retained. The camp still had only these three gates. Fortification C Between 140 and 150 CE, the dry stone wall was replaced with a mortared wall. The new fortification wall followed the course of the old "Fortification B", being erected in front of its outer wall. Only at isolated points did the front of the older wall intersect with the new construction. Behind the wall, an earth rampart was piled up, which was not completely sloped towards the interior of the camp, but utilized the inner shell of the dry stone wall as a supporting boundary. The foundation of the wall was dug 80 centimeters deep and had a width fluctuating between 1 and 1.2 meters, with the thickness of the elevation at the base of the wall being around 95 centimeters. Local sandstone was used as the building material, mortared with lime mortar sourced from nearby Muschelkalk deposits in the Odenwald. The stones on the inside were small and roughly hewn, while the blocks on the outside were larger and meticulously executed. It is assumed that the outer wall above the battlement was equipped with battlements. The originally present white exterior plaster, usually painted over with red false joints, could no longer be identified. It likely eroded completely in the acidic soil of Hesselbach. As part of the new wall construction, the defense ditch, which had been at least partially silted up by this point, was replaced with a new one. It was set off from the wall by a 60 to 80-centimeter-wide berm and had a width of about six meters at a depth of around 1.5 meters. It is assumed that this ditch was designed in a ratio of five Roman feet to 20 Roman feet. The gates were also rebuilt from scratch. In addition to the existing three large gate structures, a small postern gate was added on the decumanus side (rear side of the fortress). The large gates were still flanked by two towers, likely not only connected by simple defensive platforms but also by covered gatehouses. This is supported by the fact that there were not only strong arches on the enemy side but also on the inside. While such arches might be necessary on the outside for fortification reasons, they only make sense on the inside for structural reasons. The clear passage width was 3.4 meters for the right side gate and three meters for both the main gate and the right side gate. The new rear postern gate, which was also found in the same form at the Würzberg and Eulbach forts, was a simple gate with a clear passage of only 1.25 meters, possibly secured by a barrier beam. The ditch alignment was uninterrupted in front of the gate, and a posthole indicated a possible wooden bridge at this point. Even in this construction phase, there were no corner towers. However, the rounded corners of the wall were provided on the outside with slightly protruding risalits. This inexplicable characteristic of the wall construction is also found at the Oberscheidental fortress. Interior Layout The interior buildings consisted of the central headquarters building (Principia), four barracks for the soldiers (Contubernia) with their quarters, the commander's residence (Praetorium), as well as warehouses and stables throughout all periods of the fortress. The presence of the Principia indicates that a tactically independent unit was stationed there, a Numerus with a garrison strength of approximately 160 men. In the commander's residence, the front section of the camp, stables and warehouses were accommodated. As customary in Roman military camps, the central headquarters building dominated the center. In the rear camp area, immediately behind the central headquarters building, was the commander's residence and - flanking the Principia - two barracks on each side. All buildings were made of wood, making them identifiable only by the discoloration of their post trenches and holes, a circumstance that the early excavators were not sufficiently familiar with, so with the excavation techniques of that time, hardly any findings of the interior buildings could be recorded. Period 1 The Principia, the headquarters and administrative building (also referred to as "Building 5" in publications about Hesselbach) covered an area of approximately 10.5/10.8 meters by 18.0/18.2 meters in this period, including the forecourt, totaling slightly less than 200 square meters. However, imprecise construction and unclear, partly disturbed findings make it difficult to assign truly exact dimensions. The building was possibly originally designed to be 36 by 45 Roman feet in size. The Principia was entered through an open forecourt measuring approximately 4.2/4.4 meters by 10.7 meters. This hall covered the Via principalis (main camp street, which connected the two lateral camp gates) and opened with its front towards the Via praetoria (front main camp street) and the Porta praetoria (front camp gate, main gate). Alongside the Principia of the Künzing fortress, the commandant's office of Hesselbach is one of the oldest headquarters buildings with a forecourt. A courtyard lined with two porticos adjoined the forecourt, leading to a transverse hall (Basilica). The transverse hall (and thus the entire building complex) was closed off at its rear by a building consisting of three rooms. The middle, slightly larger of these rooms was the "sacred precinct" (Aedes principiorum or Sacellum), while the other two presumably served as administrative offices. Behind the Principia, in the middle of the Retentura (rear camp area), was the residence of the Praepositus Numeri, the commander (Praepositus) of the garrison ("Building 6"). Its outer dimensions were approximately 10.5 by 15 meters (just over 150 square meters), presumably designed with dimensions of 35 by 50 Roman feet. The entrance of the commander's building opened towards the Principia. The entrance possibly led into a cross-shaped corridor, in the center of which there may have been an atrium or atrium-like structure with skylights. In this case, there would have been six roughly equal-sized rooms and a smaller room (possibly a latrine) in the building. However, another interpretation of the findings also suggests a long, stretched central corridor, flanked on each long side by four separate rooms, with a smaller room at its end. A confirmed hearth indicates that at least some rooms in the building were heated. The Principia and commander's residence were flanked by two barracks each ("Buildings 1 to 4"). The four barracks measured approximately 34.6 meters by 4.55 meters (exterior) and were divided into nine roughly equal-sized rooms of about 3.7 by 4.15 meters clear width, resulting in a usable area of 15.5 square meters per room. There was no enlarged room or a head building for the non-commissioned officer. A portico could not be confirmed, but its existence cannot be entirely ruled out. Dietwulf Baatz assumed in his studies that each Contubernium was likely occupied by four to five soldiers, so if a room for the non-commissioned officer was deducted and the possible lower occupancy density of some rooms, where sergeants may have been accommodated, were considered, it could be assumed that each barrack housed around 32 men. This would result in a barracks occupancy of around 128 soldiers, so including non-commissioned officers and officers, a total strength of 130 to 140 men could be assumed. However, Baatz emphasized the hypothetical nature of his considerations, which were intended only to provide an approximate idea of the strength of the Numerus fortress. In the Praetentura, the front part of the camp, a total of three larger buildings were identified. The interpretation of the findings is not entirely clear due to the extensive soil erosion in this area. "Building 7" in the southeastern area of the fortress is interpreted as a storage building or warehouse, possibly including the armamentaria (weapon storage rooms) missing in the Principia. The two buildings, measuring 4.3 by 10.6 meters and 4.3 by 13.5 meters respectively, located in the northwest of the camp (Buildings 8 and 9), were likely identified as stables, with a possible bakery located in front of them. All buildings of Period 1 were constructed in wood. Repairs and damages could not be detected at any point; the buildings were apparently systematically dismantled before they deteriorated, presumably to make space for the construction of new buildings. Period 2 The structure of the fort in Period 2 corresponded roughly to the layout of Period 1. The construction technique was largely identical, although stronger wooden posts were used. The buildings were in use until the need for repair measures arose. The phase of maintenance measures that then began is differentiated as Period 2a. The layout of the Principia (referred to as "Building 5") in this period resembled that of Period 1, but the portico extended laterally beyond the two alignments of the rest of the building complex by slightly more than one meter each. The hall had a width of 6.3 to 6.4 meters and a length of about 14.3 meters, constructed in an open manner and covering the entire width of the Via Principalis. From the portico, one entered a small courtyard, 3.8 meters wide and 7.7 meters long, which was flanked on its narrow sides by porticos 1.8 meters deep. The courtyard was followed by a transverse hall with a clear width of 6.9 meters and a length of 11.5 meters. The most striking difference from the layout of Period 1 was the variation in proportions between the courtyard with its porticos and the transverse hall, where the space for the courtyard was reduced in favor of the hall. A notable feature within the transverse hall was the identification of a cistern measuring almost 1.5 meters in diameter with a channelized drain towards the rear of the fort. This water was presumably needed for ritual purposes conducted in the Principia. Following the transverse hall, which concluded the rearward part of the building complex, as in Period 1, was a three-room suite. The middle, slightly larger room served as the shrine (Aedes or Sacellum), which unlike in Period 1, projected slightly outward from the rear wall of the Principia. This projection was reduced in the repair Period 2a, resulting in a uniform rear facade of the building complex. The cellar, often found in shrines, could not be identified for the second construction phase in Hesselbach, just as in the first phase, and appeared unlikely due to the soil conditions (waterlogging). "Building 6," the presumed residence of the Praepositus Numeri, had external dimensions of approximately 11.7 by 10.8 meters. It was a corridor house with a central corridor flanked by three rooms on each side. All six rooms were approximately 15 square meters in size, with at least four of them equipped with hearths. The building was oriented towards the Principia with its main entrance. A second entrance on the opposite side cannot be ruled out, but this area was disrupted by a modern pit. Possibly, a latrine could have been located at this end of the corridor. As in Period 1, the ensemble of Principia and Commandant's residence was flanked on each side by two barracks ("Buildings 1 to 4"). Unlike the early construction phase, these had both head buildings and porticos. One building, "Barrack 4," was in particularly good condition. It extended with a width (including the portico) between 7.3 and 7.45 meters over a length of 34.8 meters, consisting of a series of seven contubernia with a front portico and a head building for the centurion and/or the non-commissioned officers. The clear width of the portico ranged between 1.6 and 1.7 meters. Of the total length, 27.4 meters were allocated to the seven contubernia, each likely having a useful area of slightly more than 19 square meters. Each contubernium consisted of a single, undivided room with a hearth located approximately in the middle of the dividing wall to a neighboring contubernium. The hearths resembled the appearance of common open fireplaces today: behind a fire-resistant floor plate was a smoke outlet, and above the hearth was a smokestack. The hearths were used for meal preparation and heating during the colder seasons. The head building of "Barrack 4" had an almost square footprint of approximately 7.4 meters on each side, resulting in a total living area of 53 square meters. It consisted (as a continuation of the portico) of a corridor and two rooms, each equipped with a hearth. Each pair of barracks (1 and 2, as well as 3 and 4) formed a barrack pair, with a gravel path running through the middle. The individual barracks differed in some features regarding shape and size. "Barrack 3" was noticeably narrower than "Barrack 4" and had no head building, but consisted of nine approximately equal-sized contubernia, each with approximately 12.5 square meters of floor space. "Barrack 2" had an unusually large head building with a total of three rooms and a side corridor branching off from the main corridor. Latrines with drainage channels were found in the head buildings of "Barracks 1 and 2." A similar latrine is presumed for the head building of "Barrack 4," although the area suitable for this was disturbed by a modern pit, so the corresponding archaeological evidence could not be provided. The eastern half of the Praetentura, the front part of the camp, was entirely occupied by the so-called "Building 7." This was a complex, possibly multi-phase structure with irregular room divisions. With external dimensions of approximately 20.8 by 13.1 meters, the building covered an area of around 270 square meters and had two entrances. Since the Retentura (rear part of the camp) was fully occupied by the Principia, the Praetorium, and the four barracks, and therefore the Horreum (storehouse) and Armamentaria (armory) could not be located there, Dietwulf Baatz interpreted this finding as a "multi-purpose building" that combined the functions of a storehouse and armory under one roof. According to the archaeologist, this was supported by the location of this building immediately adjacent to the Porta principalis dextra, apparently serving as the main gate. In the western part of the Praetentura, traces of the foundations of two simple buildings, not further subdivided internally, were identified. Both buildings had an elongated rectangular shape. The "Building 8," facing the Via Praetoria, was 14.6 meters long and 4.0 meters wide, while the "Building 9," facing the fortification, was 14.3 meters long and 5.3 meters wide. Analogous to the findings of Period 1, these two structures were interpreted as stables, supported by the observation of water containers outside the buildings and troughs that could have served to supply the livestock with fresh water and/or dispose of manure. The function of another "Building 10," a simple shed approximately 8.0 by 2.8 meters in size, located at the site where a bakery group was assumed for Period 1, could not be clarified. The camp roads were made of multi-layered gravel without a pavement of larger stones and without curbstones. The method of providing the camp with fresh water is unclear. The fact that no wells were found inside the fort does not necessarily rule out their existence, as the entire fort area was not fully excavated. However, traces of water containers and channels rather suggest a supply of running water, possibly from an area approximately 250 to 300 meters northeast of the fort, where springs still emerge from the wet meadows today. This perhaps insufficient supply of fresh water may have been supplemented by rainwater collected from the roofs. The sewage disposal system, on the other hand, is better understood. It was carried out through several smaller channels leading into a larger collecting trench, which ultimately led out of the fort next to the Porta decumana into a defensive ditch. This is also where the camp's latrines are presumed to have been, which could have been flushed with the draining wastewater. However, such latrines could not be archaeologically proven, as the area of the camp suitable for them was not excavated. Period 2a (Repair Phase) Period 2a does not denote an independent construction phase. Rather, this term encompasses all repair measures of Period 2, regardless of their specific timing. None of these measures led to a fundamental change in the floor plans. For example, individual posts were partially replaced, and in the head building of Barrack 4, an entire post trench was renewed. In several contubernia, the hearths were relocated. The most noticeable change at the Principia was the renewal of the rear wall of the shrine, which no longer protruded from the rear building line after the renovation. Period 3 (Post-Fort Period) The findings of Period 3 were already post-fort-period, meaning that the underlying former construction originated after the relocation of the Roman troops to the line of the so-called "Front Limes" in the Miltenberg-Walldürn-Osterburken area and was probably purely civilian in nature. During this period, either no separate buildings were erected, or the structures consisted of lightweight wooden constructions, the traces of which were no longer discernible in the later dismantled and/or eroded soil. It is possible that the old fort buildings were partially reused, especially for Buildings 5 and 6, and possibly for Building 10. The excavation findings of Period 3 consisted solely of the remains of settlement pits. In one of them, the remains of an oven were found, which could undoubtedly be identified as a bloomery furnace for iron smelting. The evidence suggested that this furnace was just one of several, indicating a high probability of the abandoned fort site being used by an iron-smelting operation. The raw materials for iron production, namely iron ore and wood (charcoal), could be obtained in the immediate or relative vicinity. Wood was abundant in the densely forested areas of the Odenwald even in ancient times, and iron ore could possibly have been used in the form of so-called bog iron ore. This method of iron production is also documented for the post-Roman period in other locations in the Odenwald, including one just one kilometer north of Hesselbach. The iron smelting operation was likely discontinued after only a few years, probably due to the lack of profitability resulting from the low yield of local ore deposits. Material Finds Coins During the excavations in Hesselbach, only four clearly identifiable and datable coins were found in total, which is too few to draw concrete and reliable conclusions from. Sigillata The number of Sigillata shards recovered in Hesselbach was relatively high at 24% (= 224 pieces) of the total ceramic finds (932 pieces) and provided important clues for dating the fort. The oldest fragments of South Gaulish pictorial bowls could only be dated to the last decade of the 1st century or at the beginning of the 2nd century at the latest, while earlier decoration styles were completely absent. Baatz additionally pointed out during the ceramic analysis that types Drag. 29 and Drag. 15, typical Sigillata types found in forts immediately after the year 90, were missing. He interpreted this as an indication that the beginning of the fort could not have been earlier than a few years after 90. Due to the relatively high proportion of South Gaulish ware among the pictorial bowls, Dietwulf Baatz also dismissed a construction date for the fort after the year 105 as extremely unlikely. Other Ceramics In addition to the relatively common Terra Sigillata, the entire ceramic assemblage consisted of coarse ware, heavy ceramics, smooth ware, glazed ware, and Terra Nigra, with coarse ware, as usual elsewhere, forming the largest part. Coarse ware is a type of ceramic made fireproof by strong sand admixture. Therefore, it is not surprising that pots and bowls dominated among the finds of coarse ware (399 out of a total of 463 sherds). The finds of larger/coarser ceramics consisted exclusively of grinding stones (120 pieces) and amphorae (eleven pieces), while earthenware barrels (so-called dolia) were not present. Smooth ware mostly consisted of jugs and amphorae. Engobe ware and Terra Nigra were represented to a small extent, both made in different material compositions and using different techniques. Other Finds Metal finds were only present in small quantities and were heavily corroded due to the soil conditions in Hesselbach. There was also no secure stratigraphic allocation, so individual pieces could well be post-Roman. Specifically, alongside several nails, the excavations of the 1960s yielded a bronze fibula, a lead disc, an iron drill, and an iron awl, while earlier excavations yielded an iron knife and an iron frying pan. Among the also not particularly numerous glass finds, notable items included a fragment of an amethyst-colored ribbed bowl and some fragments of other glass vessels, especially two fragments of window glass. Among slightly over 100 brick finds (nine whole bricks and around 100 fragments), there were no stamped specimens. Quantitatively, Lateres (building bricks) dominated, alongside Tegulae and Imbrices (flat and curved roof tiles), as well as wall plates with comb-stroke decoration. However, the quantity of roof tiles overall does not allow for a roofing of the interior buildings or the gate towers of the fortress to be posited. They may also originate from the presumed fortress bathhouse and may have been reused secondarily or repurposed. Such a use is also to be assumed for the wall plates, which were typically only used on stone walls not found in the Hesselbach fortress. The bricks may have come from an unknown production site in the Odenwald region, indicated by the sandstone particle content, as found in the region's typical weathered sandstone soils. A total of 70 sandstone balls of varying sizes and weights (ranging from less than 200 grams to 15–20 kilograms) were found during the excavations of the 19th and 20th centuries in Hesselbach. Friedrich Kofler had initially interpreted them as ballistic balls. However, Dietwulf Baatz concluded that, firstly, the gate towers of the Hesselbach fortress were too small for the installation of ballistic devices, and secondly, the majority of the balls were flattened. The latter would have led to an unpredictable risk for the gunnery crews during firing. Baatz further suggested that they might have been sling stones or stones used for ballast, as counterweights, or as grinding and rubbing stones. Naturally, there were further stone finds in the form of architectural elements, as well as some sculpture fragments. Among the architectural fragments, cornices, wedge stones, and the typical lunettes of the Odenwald Limes structures predominated. The most conspicuous sculpture remnant was a fragment of a relief in red sandstone, of which only the depiction of a 17-centimeter long and five-centimeter high phallus with broken testicles remained. Additionally, some fragments of hand mills were recovered. Des Weiteren wurden einige Bruchstücke von Handmühlen geborgen. The Course of the Limes between Kastell Hesselbach and the Kleinkastell Zwing From Kastell Hesselbach, the Limes continues in a south-southeast direction along a ridge of the Odenwald, which gradually narrows from a broad plateau to a ridge less than one hundred meters wide as it extends southward. It enters a dense forest area at the edge of Hesselbach, where it is very well preserved in some sections and is occasionally accompanied by a medieval boundary ditch. Along this path, it initially ascends by about 55 meters in elevation and reaches its highest point near the Hessian-Baden-Württemberg border at approximately 545 meters above sea level, before descending again on the Baden-Württemberg side towards the Kleinkastell Zwing, dropping by over 50 meters in elevation. This section of the Limes is considered one of the most scenic along the entire Odenwald line. Monument Protection The Hesselbach Fort and the adjoining Limes structures are archaeological monuments according to the Hessian Monument Protection Act. Investigations and deliberate collection of findings require authorization, and accidental discoveries must be reported to the monument authorities.
