The Briard is an ancient breed of large herding dog, originally from France.
 A Briard-type dog appears in Gaston Febus' "Livre de chasse" ("Book of the Hunt"), written in the late 14th century.
 According to legend, about the same time, a Briard fought a judicial duel with Robert Macaire to avenge its owner's murder, Aubry of Montdidier.
 Charlemagne, Napoleon, Thomas Jefferson, and Lafayette are all said to have owned Briards.
 It became popular after the Paris dog show of 1863, after the breed had been fixed, with crosses with the Beauceron and the Barbet.
 During the First World War, the Briard was used, almost to the point of extinction, by the French army as a sentry, messenger, and to search for wounded soldiers.
 The Briard's modern-day roles include police, military and search-and-rescue work, as well as companion dog.

This article details the history of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
 The Steelers are an American football franchise representing Pittsburgh.
 They are the seventh-oldest club in the National Football League (NFL), which they joined in .
 The only surviving NFL teams with a longer history are the Chicago Bears, Chicago (Arizona as well as St. Louis) Cardinals, Detroit Lions (then the Portsmouth Spartans), Green Bay Packers, New York Giants and Boston (Washington) Redskins.
 The Philadelphia Eagles joined the league concurrently with the Steelers in 1933.
The town of Pocklington in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England has a recorded written history that goes back around 1,500 years, and archaeological evidence shows settlement at the site as long as 2,500 years ago.
 This gives it a longer history of settlement than larger contemporary settlements in the region and country such as York and even London.
 During this time, it has experienced plague, several invasions, the loss of its railway, and its marginalisation to a backwater under the Romans.
 Nevertheless, Pocklington has prospered where other market towns have failed.
 It has always been the commercial and civic centre for the district and was at one point the second largest settlement in Yorkshire.
 It is the focal point of an area which has seen significant events through the centuries, many influencing English history.
Commencement controversy at Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts has sometimes been the result of the selection of the commencement speaker.
 Most recently, this occurred between February and May 2014, when protests over Christine Lagarde’s invitation allegedly forced her to rescind her acceptance to give the commencement speech for the class of 2014 at their graduation.
 While it is said that “such reversals have become more common in recent years” given that, “what has changed is not so much the protests themselves, but the willingness of colleges and speakers to give in”, there is actually a longer history of controversy over the chosen commencement speaker that spans back to the 1960s if not before.
 What Smith’s history shows is that the struggle over representation, as demonstrated by the controversy over commencement speakers in many colleges, is not a new occurrence, but rather an old stage for a struggle over an institution’s values and those that the institution represents.

Basileus (Greek: βασιλεύς ) is a Greek term and title that has signified various types of monarchs in history.

This article examines Israeli views of the peace process that is ongoing concerning the Israeli–Palestinian conflict.
 There are a multitude of opinions and views of the peace process elicited at various points during Israel's history and by a variety of people.
 A popular understanding of the origins of the conflict from the Israeli point of view is that it began following the 1967 Six-Day War with Israel's occupation of the territories and consequently the peace process negotiations should stem from this.
 However, there are other understandings of the conflict and therefore the solution for peace, including some Israeli academics' and peace activists' understanding that a much longer history is involved, differing from the popular narrative often recited.
 Suggestions for how to achieve peace in the region include a two state solution where an Israeli sovereign state and a Palestinian sovereign state exist side by side, or the suggestion of a one state secular solution where power is shared by Israelis and Palestinians.
 Hardliners believe that Israel should maintain sovereignty over the land it currently occupies and give no concessions to Palestinians, others believe keeping up the military campaign, occupation of the Gaza Strip and the West Bank and separation from Palestinians is the only current way forward.
 There is also a note of despair and uncertainness as to how to proceed among some, particularly following the failure of peace summits in the 1990s and early 21st century and the second Intifada, as Kaufman "et al." have stated; "there is a growing consensus that the current political leadership are not able to build a stable peace and resolve the conflict between Israel and the Palestinian people".
 As Cowen says "almost everyone wants peace [but] on his or her terms" and this is the crux of the problem.
The star and crescent develops in the iconography of the Hellenistic period in Pontus, the Bosporan Kingdom, and notably Byzantium by the 2nd century BCE.
 It is the conjoined representation of the crescent and a star, both of which constituent elements have a long prior history in the iconography of the Ancient Near East as representing either Sun and Moon, or Moon and Morning Star (or their divine personifications).
 Coins with crescent and star symbols represented separately have a longer history, with possible ties to older Mesopotamian iconography.
