# Priekulė, Lithuania

Priekulė (pronunciation, German: Prökuls) is a small town in Klaipėda District Municipality, in western Lithuania. It is located on the banks of Minija River about 20 kilometres (12 mi) south of Klaipėda. Priekulė is the seat of Priekulė elderate. It is located in the historic region of Lithuania Minor.

## History

Priekulė's name is known since the first half of the 16th century. At first it was named Paminia (at river Minija), and it was a small village with three homesteads. In 1511, a tavern "zur Minnige" is mentioned in written sources. In 1540, a certain Lukas Preckol is an owner of the tavern. It is believed that the town name was derived from Preckol's last name. The name "Precols" was recorded on region maps in 1548. A church was built in 1587 and a teacher was hired in 1594.
It was a part of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, as a fief of Poland, held by the Teutonic Knights and secular Ducal Prussia. In 1609 during the Polish–Swedish War (1600–1611), regiments of the Polish–Lithuanian cavalry plundered the town. In 1688 minister Wilhelm Martin built a new church. In 1773, it became part of the newly formed province of East Prussia within the Kingdom of Prussia, and from 1871 it was also part of Germany. In 1905 the village, now known as Prökuls, had 500 residents who were mostly Protestant Lutherans and mainly spoke the Memelland-Samogitian dialect.
In the course of the German revolutions on March 29, 1848, the local judiciary was demolished, the tax collector was mistreated and the pub was looted. The Prussian authorities put down the uprising on March 30
Following the restoration of independent Lithuania in 1918, the town was acquired by Lithuania in 1923. Under German occupation during World War II, it was the location of the Oflag 63 prisoner-of-war camp for Allied officers.
On December 19, 2002, the city was granted coat of arms by the President of Lithuania.

## Landmarks

There is St. Anthony of Padua Church, built in 1938. In the city park grows a centuries-old oak, that is preserved as monument of nature. In the city there is a monument to Lithuanian writer Ieva Simonaitytė. Her cottage is turned into memorial museum (established in 1984). Estates of the forefathers of philosopher Immanuel Kant (1724–1804) were located in Kantvainai [lt] (Kantweinen) in the vicinity of Priekulė.

# Sean Kirrane

Sean Kirrane is a Group 1-winning Irish jockey.
Kirrane grew up in Mount Merrion on the outskirts of Dublin, ten minutes walk from Leopardstown Racecourse, which he used to visit as a child. He attended Blackrock College. He was from a non-racing background but started riding as a teenager after his uncle put him in contact with trainer Willie Mullins. He had his first victory on Bainne, trained by Johnny Levins in an apprentice handicap at the Curragh in 2017. It was his sixth racecourse ride.
In his first full season in the UK in 2019, he rode 20 winners from 152 rides and bettered that in 2022 with 23 from 194.
He is currently based with trainer Tim Easterby in Malton, North Yorkshire but gained his first major success on the Adam West trained Live In The Dream in the 2023 Nunthorpe Stakes at York, not long after losing his apprentice's allowance. The win was both Kirrane's and West's first at Group level. His association with the horse and West's stable came about by chance, after he stayed over in the south of England between days riding at Epsom and Goodwood and called West in Epsom to see if he could ride out for him.

# Estivareilles, Loire

Estivareilles (French pronunciation:; Occitan: Estivalelhas) is a commune in the Loire department in central France.
# Sissle

The Sissle (Swiss German, German: Sisslen) is a 16-kilometre (10 mi) long river in the Swiss canton of Aargau in Switzerland. It is a tributary of the Rhine and drains the eastern part of the Fricktal. The largest town on the river is Frick.
The river rises in the municipalities of Schinznach-Dorf and Thalheim at an elevation of 650 metres (2,130 ft) above sea level on the southern slope of Mount Dreierberg and the northern slope of Mount Zeiher Homberg, in the Jura Mountains. Shortly after the source, the river breaks through a water gap between the Dreierberg mountain and the Zeiher Homberg and then falls off rapidly. It passed the Talmatt and delimits the district Iberg of the municipality of Zeihen. After about 2.5 kilometres (1.6 mi), the Sissle flows past Effingen railway station and the west portal of the Bözberg railway tunnel, at an elevation of about 450 metres (1,480 ft). The river had to be canalized here when the railway was constructed.
From here on, the landscape is fairly flat and the river follows the A3 motorway. It flows freely until Hornussen and is then canalized until Eiken, where it changes direction from northwest to north, and enters the Rhine valley. It receives the left tributary Bruggbach, coming from Wittnau. The last 2.5 kilometres (1.6 mi) of the Sissle meander strongly. It ends at the village of Sisseln, where it flows into the High Rhine at an elevation of 290 metres (950 ft).
# Oskar Ewald Tenement

## Architecture

For Oskar Ewald's edifice, Józef Święcicki used characteristics of Eclecticism to adorn the facade, and especially neo-Baroque features. Its essential three-storey neo-baroque body is topped with a prominent cornice.
The top floor of the building housed originally Oskar Ewald's photographic studio. It had the corner-shape of the curved facade, and was covered by a glass roof. The workshop occupied also the first two levels: a dedicated lift was used by customers to access the studio. In 1919, Władysława Spiżewska, the first Polish woman to become a professional photographer in Bydgoszcz purchased the photo atelier at the top floor and used it till 1924.
At the beginning of the 20th century, the ground floor of the building housed a flower shop run by Anna Stössel.

# Pelasgia, Phthiotis

Pelasgia (Greek: Πελασγία, formerly Γαρδίκι, Gardiki), is a town and a former municipality in Phthiotis, Greece. Since the 2011 local government reform it is part of the municipality Stylida, of which it is a municipal unit. The municipal unit has an area of 128.334 km$^2$, the community 52.089 km$^2$. In the 2021 census, the municipal unit of Pelasgia numbered 2,383 inhabitants, the town proper 1,442.

## History

The village is located at the northern entrance of the Malian Gulf, some 2 km south of the acropolis of the ancient city of Larissa Kremaste.
The ancient city is still mentioned until the early Byzantine period, but was abandoned after the Slavic invasions of the 7th century and reappears only in the 11th century under the new, Slavic, name of Gardiki, which the settlement bore until 1927, when it was renamed to Pelasgia.
In the 11th century, Gardiki—referred to in Byzantine sources also as hetera Gardikia (ἑτέρα Γαρδικία), "the other Gardiki", to distinguish it from the town of the same name near Trikala—was an episcopal see (a suffragan see of the Metropolis of Larissa). The Jewish traveller Benjamin of Tudela, who visited it in 1165, found it almost deserted, with only a few Greek and Jewish families resident. Nevertheless, under Emperor Isaac II Angelos in 1189 it is listed as among the metropolitan sees, albeit without any suffragans. A manuscript list indicates that there was a Greek bishop named John in 1191–92.
In the aftermath of the Fourth Crusade, the town came under Frankish rule, and was known as Gardichy, Cardiche, Lacardica, and Gaudica. The local see accordingly came under the Latin Church. Gams mentions five Latin bishops from 1208 to 1389, the first being Bartholomew, to whom many letters of Pope Innocent III are addressed; Bartholomew was also bishop of Velestino and Demetrias, and seems to have been the only residential Latin bishop.
In 1222 it was recovered by the Epirote Greeks and the see was restored to its Greek Orthodox clergy, becoming an archbishopric and eventually again a metropolis. In 1275 it was ceded by the ruler of Thessaly, John I Doukas, along with Zetounion, Gravia, and Siderokastron, to the Duchy of Athens as part of the dowry of his daughter Helena Angelina Komnene. In ca. 1294 the town was granted by the Duke of Athens Guy II de la Roche to Boniface of Verona, who held its lordship at least until the Battle of Halmyros in 1311.
Along with other towns in southern Thessaly such as Domokos and Pharsalus, in the mid-1320s Gardiki came briefly under the rule of the Catalan Company, which had taken over the Duchy of Athens in the aftermath of Halmyros. Latin bishops of the Dioecesis Cardicensis are still mentioned in 1363 and ca. 1396. The town surrendered to the Ottoman Turks after the fall of Euboea in 1470, and its inhabitants were deported to Constantinople.
The diocese is today listed by the Roman Catholic Church as a titular see.
The substantial boundary walls of the ancient acropolis are still visible, and mosaics from an early Christian basilica have been uncovered a short distance away near the shore.

# Gorički zbornik

The Gorički zbornik (Serbian Cyrillic: Горички зборник) or the Gorica's Almanac or Gorica Miscellany or the Manuscript of Gorica is a Serbian medieval manuscript collection written by Jelena Lazarević and monk Nikon of Jerusalem in 1441 and 1442 in the church Jelena built on the island Gorica on Skadar Lake. Its name is derived from the name of the church.

## Contents

The first part of Gorički zbornik contains a correspondence between Jelena Lazarević and her spiritual adviser Nikon of Jeruzalem. Jelena wrote three epistles to Nikon who replied to her presenting a position of the church regarding different theological issues. Only one of three epistles, known as Otpisanije bogoljubno (Serbian: Отписаније богољубно), is preserved today. The correspondence between Jelena and her spiritual adviser has its origin in a common practice in Byzantium. Scholars praised this epistle although its part was the same as hagiography of John of Rila written by Evtimiy of Tarnovo. Similarity of the medieval texts written on the Balkans corresponds with Byzantine practice and genre principle which was based on the universal and common forms, not on the individual ones.
In the second part of Gorički zbornik Nikon writes to Jelena about her ancestors using Serbian genealogies and annals as well as hagiography of Saint Simeon written by Stefan the First-Crowned and the hagiography of Saint Sava written by Teodosije.
The next part is the monastic constitution, composed on Jelena's order, to be used in the church she built on the Gorica island. A 'Tale of Jerusalem Churches and Places in the Desert' (Serbian: Повест о јерусалимских црквама и местима у пустињи) is the next part of the zbornik followed by the preaching of the faith, begging for forgiveness if there are mistakes in the manuscripts and greetings. The last part of the zbornik is Jelena's letter where she confirms that she received work of her spiritual adviser Nikon as gift which she donate to the church at Gorica.
One of the reasons why the Gorički zbornik is very important in the literature of medieval Zeta is that it is a testimony of presence and establishment of the Byzantine hesychasm on the territory which was under direct pressure of Latin Venetian policy.

## Covers

Jelena wrote her will on 25 November 1442 which shows that she had her own library and that in 1441 based on her instructions her chancellor Doberko ordered a book covers made of silver and decorated with image of Jesus from a goldsmith from Kotor named Andrija. It may be assumed that this covers were made for Gorički zbornik although it was later discovered within wooden/leather covers.

## Nikon of Jerusalem

Nikon changed his name to Nikandar of Jerusalem after he undertook greater monastic duties. Besides Gorički zbornik Nikon wrote another manuscript collection known as Šestodnev in 1439/1440 which is preserved in Savina Monastery.
