The first monastery was built in the seventh century, and was later expanded in the 10th century. The monastery was damaged during the wars between the Seljuks and the Byzantine Empire in the 11th and 12th centuries. Following the conquest of the region by the Mongols of Hulagu Khan, grandson of Genghis Khan, in the middle of the 13th century, a peace agreement was signed between the Armenian Church and the Ilkhanate, and the Christians maintained an equable

By the 14th and 15th centuries, the Saint Stepanos Monastery was at the height of its cultural and intellectual influence, producing paintings and illuminated manuscripts in religion, history, and philosophy. In the early 15th century, the new Safavid dynasty protected the Armenians, but the region was at the center of the conflicts with the Ottomans, who invaded Western Armenia in 1513. The monastery gradually declined in the 16th century. Shah Abbas I expelled the inhabitants of

After 1650, the Safavids reoccupied the region and the abandoned monastery was restored in the latter part of the 17th century. At the beginning of the 18th century, the region came under the expansion of the Russian Empire. Yerevan was conquered by the Russians in 1827, and per the Treaty of Turkmenchay, the border between Iran and Russia was subsequently established on the Araxes. Consequently, part of the population was forcefully displaced to Russian Armenia. The Qajar rulers continued to protect the Armenians, and encouraged the rebuilding of the Saint Stepanos

These have been estimated at 3% of annual turnover by the Institute of Production Engineers, and at £1.1 billion (1980) per annum by the CBI. Regardless of United Kingdom metrication, goods produced in the United Kingdom for export to the United States would have still been labelled in non-metric units to comply

However, these are not probabilities in the ordinary sense, because they are not real numbers, but rather elements of the complete Boolean algebra "B". Given a complete Boolean algebra "B" there is a Boolean-valued model denoted by "V", which is the Boolean-valued analogue of the von Neumann universe "V". (Strictly speaking, "V" is a proper class, so we need to reinterpret what it means to be a model appropriately.) Informally, the elements of "V" are "Boolean-valued sets". Given an ordinary set "A", every set either is

The disadvantages are that the semantics is not 2-valued, and that the combinatorics of "B" are often more complicated than those of the underlying poset "P". One interpretation of forcing starts with a countable transitive model "M" of ZF set theory, a partially ordered set "P", and a "generic" subset "G" of "P", and constructs a new model of ZF set theory from these objects. (The conditions that the model be countable and transitive simplify some technical problems, but are not essential.) Cohen's construction can be carried out using Boolean-valued models as follows.

He suggested that longtime fans of Satriani's regular material may be disappointed, as well as those who dislike electronic sounds in guitar-based music, but praised Satriani for challenging himself to "find ways of coaxing totally new sounds from his guitar", and that "his melodies and main themes have rarely been this angular and off-kilter,

It was the site in 1813 of an American victory in the Battle of Fort Stephenson during the War of 1812. The town that later developed here was first named by settlers as "Lower Sandusky", as it was located near the falls of the lower river; it was renamed as Fremont, Ohio. It developed around the fort and a historic Wyandot village known as "Junquindundeh". The historic Wyandot village known as "Junquindundeh" developed at the falls

In Swabia and along the Rhine River, some four hundred pastors went to prison rather than agree to the Interim. They were exiled, and some of their families were killed or died as a result…Some preachers left for


title: Blusher content: Blusher The blusher is the common name for several closely related species of the genus "Amanita". A. rubescens, found in Europe and eastern North America, and A. novinupta in western North America. Both their scientific and common names are derived from the propensity of their flesh to turn pink on bruising, or cutting. The mushroom is edible. Readily recognizable by its pinkish color on the bottom of the stem, it is avoided by novice mushroomers as it can be confused with deadly poisonous species. The European blusher has a reddish-brown convex pileus (cap), that is up to 15 cm across,


title: Blusher content: and strewn with small cream-coloured warts. It is sometimes covered with an ochre-yellow flush which can be washed by the rain. The flesh of the mushroom is white, becoming pink when bruised or exposed to air. This is a key feature in differentiating it from the poisonous false blusher or panther cap "(Amanita pantherina)", whose flesh does not. The stipe (stem) is white with flushes of the cap colour, and grows to a height of up to 15 cm. The gills are white and free of the stem, and display red spots when damaged. The ring is striate (i.e. has


title: Blusher content: ridges) on its upper side, another feature distinguishing it from "Amanita pantherina". The spores are white, ovate, amyloid, and approximately 8 by 5 µm in size. The flavour of the uncooked flesh is mild, but has a faint acrid aftertaste. The smell is not strong. The mushroom is often attacked by insects. It is common throughout much of Europe and eastern North America, growing on poor soils as well as in deciduous and coniferous woodlands, appearing from June through to November in the UK. It has also been recorded from South Africa, where it is thought to have been accidentally


title: Blusher content: introduced with trees imported from Europe. In eastern North America, "Amanita rubescens" is frequently parasitized by "Hypomyces hyalinus". Parasitized fruiting bodies are extremely difficult to recognize unless they occur in conjunction with healthy ones, although some retain the "blushing" characteristic of the species. A species found in the western U.S., only recently formally described and until then frequently misidentified as "A. rubescens"; see MykoWeb - Fungi of California - "Amanita novinupta" for details. Closely related species include "Amanita brunneolocularis", "A. orsonii", "A. rubescens" var. "alba", and "A. rubescens" var. "congolensis". Both of these species are edible when cooked. European "Amanita


title: Blusher content: rubescens" is known to contain a hemolytic protein in its raw state; it is unknown whether North American "A. rubescens" and "A. novinupta" are similarly toxic when eaten raw. This protein is destroyed by cooking, so it is important to cook this mushroom before eating. "Amanita novinupta" is highly regarded as a choice edible in the region in which it is found. However, the edibility of blusher species other than "A. rubescens" and "A. novinupta" has not been established and experimentation is not advised. Blusher The blusher is the common name for several closely related species of the genus "Amanita".

Lounge cars operated by Pullman were exclusively for the use of sleeping car passengers, while those operated by the railroad were available to coach as well as first-class travelers. Buffet lounge cars were often found in trains which did not offer full dining car service. On other trains they supplemented the diner and offered sandwiches, burgers and short orders


title: Cochem content: Cochem Cochem is the seat of and the biggest town in the Cochem-Zell district in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. With just over 5,000 inhabitants, Cochem falls just behind Kusel, in the Kusel district, as Germany's second smallest district seat. Since 7 June 2009, it has belonged to the "Verbandsgemeinde" of Cochem. Cochem lies at an elevation of some 83 m above sea level and the municipal area measures 21.2 km². The town centre with the outlying centre of Sehl upstream lies on the Moselle's left bank, while the constituent centre of Cond lies on its right. A further constituent centre, Brauheck, with


title: Cochem content: its commercial area, air force barracks and new town development, lies in the heights of the Eifel on "Bundesstraße" 259, some from the town centre. Emptying into the Moselle in Cochem are the Kraklebach, the Ebernacher Bach, the Sehlerbach, the Falzbach, the Märtscheltbach and the Enthetbach. As early as Celtic and Roman times, Cochem was settled. In 886, it had its first documentary mention as "Villa cuchema". Other names yielded by history are "Cuhckeme" and "Chuckeme" in 893, "Cochemo" in 1051, "Chuchumo" in 1056, "Kuchema" in 1130, "Cuchemo" in 1136, "Cocheme" in 1144, then "Cuchme", and into the 18th century


title: Cochem content: "Cochheim" or "Cocheim". Cochem was an Imperial estate. It was pledged by King Adolf of Nassau in 1294 to the Archbishopric of Trier and remained Electoral-Trier territory until the French occupation began in 1794. In 1332, Cochem was granted town rights, and shortly thereafter, the town fortifications, which still stand today, were built. Between 1423 and 1425, the town was stricken with a Plague epidemic. In 1623, Elector Lothar von Metternich brought about the founding of a Capuchin monastery. In the Thirty Years' War, the town was besieged, but not conquered. In 1689, King Louis XIV's troops first burnt the


title: Cochem content: Winneburg (castle) down and then conquered the town of Cochem with its castle. Reconstruction was long and drawn out. Beginning in 1794, Cochem lay under French rule. In 1815, it was assigned to the Kingdom of Prussia at the Congress of Vienna. Louis Fréderic Jacques Ravené bought the ruin of the former Imperial castle in 1866 and began its reconstruction. Only after a bridge was built across the Moselle at Cochem in 1927 were the two fishing villages of Cond and Sehl amalgamated with the town in the course of administrative reform in 1932. This bridge, called the "Skagerrak Bridge",


title: Cochem content: was dedicated on 23 January 1927. In the Second World War, great parts of Cochem's old town were destroyed. Also during the war, the operations staff of the underground subcamp of Zeisig of the Natzweiler concentration camp between the villages of Bruttig and Treis was located here. At its height, 13,000 people were imprisoned. They provided slave labour for Bosch, which made spark plugs, ignition systems, and glow plugs, which were important to the German war effort, under brutal conditions. Since 1946, Cochem has been part of the then newly founded state of Rhineland-Palatinate. The council is made up of


title: Cochem content: 22 council members, who were elected at the municipal election held on 25 May 2014, and the honorary mayor as chairman. The municipal election held on 25 May 2014 yielded the following results: Cochem's mayor is since 2011 Wolfgang Lambertz, and his deputies are Walter Schmitz, Carola Stern-Gilbaya, and Karl-Josef Mons. The town's arms might be described thus: Per pale argent a cross gules and gules issuant from dexter a sinister hand of the first vested sable holding two keys in saltire Or, the wards to chief. The town of Cochem and its castle were held by the Archbishops of


title: Cochem content: Trier beginning in 1298. They also granted Cochem town rights in 1332. The charges in the town's arms are thus purely references to its long history with the Electorate of Trier. The red cross on the dexter (armsbearer's right, viewer's left) side is Trier's old armorial bearing, and the keys on the sinister (armsbearer's left, viewer's right) side are Saint Peter's attribute, thus representing Trier's patron. This composition appeared in the earliest known town seal, from the early 15th century, which likely dates from a bit earlier, the late 14th century. Cochem fosters partnerships with the following places: After both


title: Cochem content: the town council and the "Verbandsgemeinde" council approved the motion on 23 October 2008, the until then "Verbandsgemeinde"-free town of Cochem became part of the "Verbandsgemeinde" of Cochem-Land on 7 June 2009. In connection with this, the state government also enacted a law on 18 February 2009 that deals with, among other things, the transfer of ownership of certain properties from the town to the "Verbandsgemeinde". The "Verbandsgemeinde" also changed its name with the amalgamation of Cochem, becoming the "Verbandsgemeinde" of Cochem. The following are listed buildings or sites in Rhineland-Palatinate's Directory of Cultural Monuments: Other things worth seeing in


title: Cochem content: Cochem include the "Pinnerkreuz", a lookout point overlooking the town and the former Imperial castle ("Reichsburg"), which can be reached by chairlift. There is also a promenade along the Moselle. Further points of interest are the historic "Senfmühle" ("Mustard Mill") and the water gauge house on the Moselle. More detailed information about the castles and some of the ecclesiastical buildings mentioned above follows. The "Reichsburg Cochem" had its first documentary mention in 1130. In 1151, it was occupied by King Konrad III, who declared it an Imperial castle. In 1688, the castle was overrun by French King Louis XIV's troops


title: Cochem content: in the course of the Nine Years' War (known in Germany as the "Pfälzischer Erbfolgekrieg", or War of the Palatine Succession), and the following year, they destroyed it. The castle complex long lay in ruins before in 1868 it was bought by the Berlin businessman Louis Fréderic Jacques Ravené for 300 "Goldmark" and then reconstructed in the Gothic Revival style. Since 1978 it has been owned by the town of Cochem and is administered by a company named Reichsburg GmbH. The "Winneburg" was built in the latter half of the 13th century. It had its first documentary mention in 1304


title: Cochem content: as belonging to a one Wirich von Wunnenberg. In the centuries that followed, the castle complex was steadily expanded while all the while remaining within the ownership of the Lords of Wunnenberg (later Winneburg). After this noble family died out in 1637, the castle passed to the family Metternich. In 1689, during the Nine Years' War, the castle was besieged, taken and blown up by French troops. It was never restored, and remains in ruins to this day. It was, however, bought in 1832 by Prince von Metternich, but no reconstruction ever came about. Since 1932, it has been owned


title: Cochem content: by the town of Cochem. The "Pestkapelle St. Rochus", also known as the "Peterskapelle" seems to have had its groundwork laid in the time when Archbishop Otto von Ziegenhain waived Cochem's customary taxes and levies for ten years on the occasion of the Plague. It is described in an engraving by Braun and Hogenberg as "S. Pettersberg". Standing next to a small, rectangular chapel was a hostel. It is also possible that the red sandstone keystone set above the west portal comes from this time. Despite heavy weathering, a high relief of a Madonna sitting on clouds, with Child, framed


title: Cochem content: with a Zweipass, can be made out. In 1666, the Plague came once again to Cochem. This might well have been the reason why Philipp Emmerich von Winneburg and Dietrich Adolf von Metternich endowed a new building for the parish in 1680. With this new building, the Plague saint, Roch, came to the fore as the chapel's namesake. The wooden altar from 1682 shows the two men's coat of arms. A notice on the back names Michael Luter for a new setting in 1820. The central altar image is a glorification of Mary that sweeps over the representatives of the


title: Cochem content: spiritual (pope, abbots, members of orders, priests) and worldly (emperors, kings, bishops) estates. Seen above her is the Holy Trinity with the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost, and beside her are Death with the hourglass, and an angel with banners bearing doxologies and quotations from psalms. A cartouche above the central altar shows Saint "Anthony with Child". On the uppermost part of the altar, on an open gable, is Saint Peter with a key and a book. Originally, the chapel's ornamentation included images of Mary Magdalene, Saint Roch, Saint Sebastian, the holy bishop Nicholas and another statue of


title: Cochem content: Roch. Saint Roch's dog was even depicted in the middle of the ceiling in a half-relief. Among the chapel's adornments was once a chandelier, which has since been stolen. It was a wall fixture in the shape of an arm dressed with a short sleeve. In 1493, the parish of Cochem was granted leave to build a new chapel in Sehl on the bank of the Moselle. There had already been a chapel in Sehl, but its whereabouts are now unknown. Financing for the new chapel was made possible by Pope Alexander VI's and Archbishop of Trier Johann II of


title: Cochem content: Baden's (1456–1503) indulgence privileges. Of this chapel, the quire still stands today, filled out by the west portal built in 1915. The chapel was consecrated for God's worship to the holy abbot and local resident Antonius, the holy bishop Wolfgang (depictions of whom are to be found used as keystones together with Archbishop Johann's coat of arms), the Madonna, the holy bishop Ruprecht and the holy virgin Cunen. Each Tuesday and Thursday, a Mass was to be said in the chapel by the Cochem pastor, for which the chapel would yearly receive 6 "Gulden" and 24 "Weißpfennig" in Cochem currency.


title: Cochem content: For that, the hay from Sehl's meadows, bordering on the chapel, was pledged. Sehlers were "half-townsmen" of Cochem without their own municipal rights, and thus Cochem town council at first spoke out against the move to bring a bell to the so-called "Sehler Dom" ("Sehl Cathedral"). Nevertheless, the chapel later got one that was poured in 1441. It bears the inscription "AVE MARIA GRACIA PLENA DOMINUS TECUM MCCCCXXXXI" ("Hail Mary, full of grace – the Lord [is] with thee – 1441"). Found here today is a "Mary under the Cross" from the early 16th century, a gift from Dean Eckert

On an open spot between Cochem and Sehl in the traditional cadastral area known as "Im Haag" at some crags, the "Kapelle Zu den drei Kreuzen" ("Chapel at the Three Crosses") offers an impressive view into the Moselle valley. The building of the first chapel on this spot may well stem, like the Crucifixion group that stands before it, from an endowment made in 1652 in Elector of Trier Karl Casper von der Leyen's time. There is a corresponding yeardate in soft sandstone mounted in the middle of the otherwise basalt cross. Two tau crosses, today lacking


title: Cochem content: the former thief figures that once hung on them, still flank the middle cross. Carved into the left one are the master's initials, P.A. In the mid 19th century, the first chapel had fallen into such disrepair that then master builder Joseph Dalmar Senior's advice was sought. The chapel's condition, however, made any renovation impossible. So, Dalmar instead put forth a plan for a new building, along with a cost estimate. It was financed through donations from the Cochem townsfolk themselves. Besides the many small ones, there was also a big one of more than ten "Thaler". To raise more


title: Cochem content: monies to defray the building costs for the new chapel, a raffle was held. Offered as a prize was a pair of slippers, which was won by Captain Sabel. This raffle yielded a further ten "Thaler", making it possible to complete the new chapel by 1850. Dalmar planned it to be built three metres farther back into the slope. The land needed for this was donated by the family Bauer. There were further expenses, such as those for roof boards and slates. The "Throne of Mercy" ("Gnadenstuhl" in German) from the 16th century that was originally found here now stands


title: Cochem content: in the "Old Quire" at Saint Martin's. Anyone seeing Saint Remaclus's in the outlying centre of Cond for the first time might be surprised at how recently it was built (1964–1967). The plain, clear and also mighty shape, the slate quarrystones used in its building that are so typical of local construction and the way the church fits so well among its neighbours at the foot of the steep vineyards would lead many visitors to believe that its building date must lie quite far back in history. According to the plan conceived by master churchbuilder Emil Steffann (1899–1968), the building


title: Cochem content: was meant to serve as a bridgehead and a counterpoint to the castle over on the other side of the river. The execution of this work, which was simple yet marked by great quality, stands out quite strongly within the church. Saint Remaclus's stands as an exemplary conception in modern church building. It incorporates above all openness: for the liturgical implementation after the Second Vatican Council, and for the congregation around the altar. The cross-shaped space is surrounded by whitewashed brick walls, punctuated by great round windows. Mighty circular arches expand on the cross's three upper arms from the pews


title: Cochem content: to the altar position before the deep-set apse. A huge wheel-shaped chandelier spreads over the pews and the chancel. The ornamentation has been consciously reduced to a few very valuable, restored images and figures from the old, and now demolished, parish church, and to conservatively wrought artworks by contemporary artists: foundation stone and keystone in the crypt's barrel vaulting by Jochem Pechau, the tabernacle in the crypt by Klaus Balke, the forged grille by Paul Nagel, the lead glass window in the apse by Jakob Schwarzkopf and the ambo, the eternal flame and the altar candleholder by Christoph Anders. The


title: Cochem content: church is opened at all service times. In 1962, Deutsche Bundesbank built a secret bunker in Cochem-Cond, 30 meters underground, disguised by two houses of the training and recreation center of Bundesbank. The bunker's vault held a reserve series of German mark banknotes totaling 15 billion marks during the Cold War, intended to enter circulation in case the Eastern Bloc would try to cripple West German economy by massively counterfeiting the existing DM banknotes. To open the vault, bank officials from Frankfurt would have to bring over three different keys and a lock combination. At Cochem, the "Cochemer Krampen", a


title: Cochem content: 24-kilometre-long stretch of the Moselle made up of many winding bows beginning upstream at Bremm, comes to an end. Above the Imperial castle is found the "Lescherlinde", a limetree which, owing to its great age of more than 550 years – it can even be clearly recognized up on the mountain from Cochem railway station – holds the status of Natural Monument. Above the outlying centre of Cond lies the Brauselay Nature Conservation Area, which has Mediterranean vegetation. Not far from Cochem, down the Moselle from the village of Klotten, is found the Dortebachtal Nature Conservation Area, a place well


title: Cochem content: worth a hike for its scenery. The town of Cochem is characterized by winegrowing and tourism, even if their economic importance has been waning over the past few decades. Important tourism sites are the "Reichsburg Cochem" (Cochem Imperial castle), the "Freizeitzentrum Cochem" (leisure centre) in the outlying centre of Cond, the nearby "Wild- und Freizeitpark Klotten" ("Klotten Wilderness and Leisure Park") and the Ediger-Eller holiday and golf resort up in the Eifel heights. A majority of the inhabitants, though, can now be found employed in other branches of the economy. There are fewer than ten full-time winegrowing businesses. The town

Calling at the station are Regionalbahn, Regional-Express and InterCity trains, along with one ICE train each morning and evening affording a morning-evening link with Berlin. Moreover, there are a few regional buslines. The town belongs to the "Verkehrsverbund Rhein-Mosel" ("Rhine-Moselle Transport Association"). The town is a Bundeswehr location (TUK Cochem-Brauheck) and an administrative and educational centre. Cochem is the administrative seat of the "Verbandsgemeinde" of Cochem and the Cochem-Zell district. Located in

Seveso made world headlines when, on 10 July 1976, storage vessels at the ICMESA chemical plant ruptured, releasing several kilograms of the dioxin TCDD (2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin) into the atmosphere. Tens of thousands of farm animals and pets died or were later deliberately slaughtered, though it is believed that there was not a single human death directly attributable to the incident. The event came later to be known as the Seveso disaster. Nowadays in the main contaminated area there


title: Zubizuri content: Zubizuri The Zubizuri (Basque for ""white bridge""), also called the Campo Volantin Bridge or Puente del Campo Volantin, is a tied arch footbridge across the Nervion River in Bilbao, Spain. Designed by architect Santiago Calatrava, the bridge links the "Campo Volantin" right bank and "Uribitarte" left bank of the river. Opened in 1997, the bridge's unusual design consists of a curved walkway which is supported by steel suspension cables from an overhead arch. The structure of the bridge is painted white and the bridge deck consists of translucent glass bricks. Access ramps and stairways are located on both banks. The


title: Zubizuri content: Zubizuri offers pedestrians a convenient route from hotels to the nearby Bilbao Guggenheim Museum. Since its opening, it has been subjected to praise as a symbol of the new Bilbao and as a draw for tourism. Architectural professor Alexander Tzonis wrote: ""The intelligence, vitality, and originality of the bridge's curved configuration challenged the ordinariness and slow decline of the urban setting, bringing a message of hope and an invitation to imagine better conditions."" However, other professionals have been more equivocal, bridge engineer Matthew Wells saying: ""Regrettably, the balance of light steel superstructure on the cantilevered abutment ends is strained, like


title: Zubizuri content: a sculptural toy, and the bridge touches the ground uncomfortably."" The bridge has also been accused of impracticality: it is locally infamous for the glass bricks set into its floor, which can become slippery in the wet climate of the city. The original design connects the bridge on the left bank to the Uribitarte dock and not to the higher street Alameda Mazarredo. Local authorities temporarily installed a further scaffolding footway joining the bridge and Mazarredo street, but removed it under protests from Calatrava. In 2006, the local authorities authorized Arata Isozaki to erect a new footway from the bridge


title: Zubizuri content: to the construction site of the Isozaki Atea towers. Calatrava responded in 2007 by suing Bilbao for the moral rights to the integrity of his creation (a part of the intellectual property under the Spanish copyright law), where a metal bar had been cut. The mayor of Bilbao, Iñaki Azkuna, with the support of his fellow councilors claimed that the rights of the owners (Bilbao) took precedence over the architect's rights. He also noted the slips and falls of bridge users, and the cost of replacing broken glass tiles (6,000 euros a year according to opposition speaker Antonio Basagoiti, 250,000


title: Zubizuri content: euros in ten years according to a municipal report). Jurists and local architects have supported the position of the mayor, holding that the modifications do not affect Calatrava's rights. In November 2007, a judge agreed that there was damage to the creator's moral rights but favored the local council and allowed Isozaki's connection to remain. Calatrava announced his intention to appeal against the decision. In March 2009, a higher court granted 30,000 euros to Calatrava as damages.

The Marinids made the site a holy necropolis, or "chellah", and built a complex that included mosque, minaret, and royal tombs. The tall minaret of the now-ruined mosque was built of stone and zellige tilework, and still stands. Contrary to legend, the corsairs of Salé did not actually operate out of Salé (called "Old Salé"), but out of the city that would later become known as Rabat, ("New Salé") on the south (left) bank of the Bou Regreg. The Phoenicians founded several colonies in what is now Morocco. The

The Romans later built their own city, Sala Colonia, very near the same site. The Roman town was referred to as "Sala" by Ptolemy. Excavations show a substantial port city with ruined Roman architectural elements including a decumanus maximus or principal roadway, a forum and a triumphal arch. Sala was a center of Christianity since the 2nd century. One of the two main Roman Roads in Mauretania Tingitana reached the Atlantic through Iulia Constantia Zilil (Asilah), Lixus (Larache) and Sala

The Romans had two main naval outposts on the Atlantic coast of the province: Sala Colonia, and Lixus. The port of Sala (now disappeared) was used by commercial Roman ships as a way station on their southwestward passages to Anfa and the "Insula Purpuraria" (Mogador island). Sala remained linked to the Roman Empire even after the withdrawal in the 4th century of the occupying Roman legions to Tingis and Septem in northern Mauretania Tingitana. A Roman military unit remained there until the end

Archaeological objects of Visigothic and Byzantine origin found in the area attest to the persistence of commercial or political contacts between Sala and Roman Europe, up to the establishment of a Byzantine presence in Berber North Africa during the 7th century. Sala continued to exist as a town of the Christianized Berbers, but was mostly in ruins when the Muslim Arabs arrived in the 7th century. The Byzantine governor of the area, Count Julian of Ceuta, surrendered to Uqba ibn Nafi in 683. Around 1030, the town of Salā was founded at the site by the

With the extinction of the Umayyad dynasty in 1031, the Almoravids assumed control of the Maghreb (present-day Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco) and erected new buildings in Salā. They rebuilt the Great Mosque of Salā on the site of the mosque of the Banu 'Ashara, completing it in 1196. By 1147, the Almoravids had been overthrown by the Berber Almohads, who used the site as a royal burial ground. It was made a sacred necropolis, or "chellah", by the Marinids in the 13th century; the Muslim sanctuary complex of mosque, minaret, and royal tombs being built by Abu Yusuf

Near the minaret is the tomb of the Maranid ruler, Abu al-Hasan Ali ibn Othman, known as the Black Sultan. Many of the remaining structures in Chellah were damaged by the 1755 Lisbon earthquake. The site has been converted to a garden and tourist venue, and today it is included in the metropolitan area of Rabat. Since 2005, the ruins of Chella host an

title: Caladenia content: Caladenia Caladenia, commonly known as spider orchids, is a genus of 350 species of plants in the orchid family, Orchidaceae. Spider orchids are terrestrial herbs with a single hairy leaf and a hairy stem. The labellum is fringed or toothed in most species and there are small projections called calli on the labellum. The flowers have adaptations to attract particular species of insects for pollination. The genus is divided into three groups on the basis of flower shape, broadly, spider orchids, zebra orchids and cowslip orchids, although other common names are often used. Although they occur in other countries, most


title: Caladenia content: are Australian and 136 species occur in Western Australia, making it the most species-rich orchid genus in that state. Orchids in the genus "Caladenia" are terrestrial, perennial, deciduous, sympodial herbs with a few inconspicuous, fine roots and a tuber partly surrounded by a fibrous sheath. The tuber produces two "droppers" which become daughter tubers in the following year. There is a single hairy convolute leaf at the base of the plant. Most species have an enlarged cell at the base of each hair. The leaf may be medium-sized to large, fleshy or leathery, lance-shaped to oblong, but is always simple,


title: Caladenia content: lacking lobes and serrations. The inflorescence is a raceme with from one to eight resupinate flowers. The three sepals and two petals are free and similar in size and shape to each other. In some species, the sepals or petals or both have narrow tips with club-like ends. As is usual in orchids, one petal is highly modified as the central labellum. The labellum is divided into three parts, each of which usually has a fringed or dentate margin, while the central lobe has stalked or button-like calli which are often in rows. The sexual parts of the flower are


title: Caladenia content: fused to the column, which has wing-like structures on its sides. Most species flower in early spring but some species, such as the winter spider orchid ("C. drummondii") flower in other months. The fruit that follows flowering is a non-fleshy, dehiscent capsule containing up to 500 seeds. The first specimens of the genus were collected by Joseph Banks in Sydney in 1777 and by Archibald Menzies in King George Sound in Western Australia in 1784. James Edward Smith formally described "Arethusa catenata", now known as "Caladenia catenata" in 1805, from specimens collected in Sydney. The genus was first formally described


title: Caladenia content: by Robert Brown in 1810 in "Prodromus Florae Novae Hollandiae". At the same time he described 15 species of "Caladenia" but did not nominate a type species. Brown collected the specimens as a member of Matthew Flinders' mapping and exploration voyage that circumnavigated Australia. He spent just over three years on botanical research with assistants in Australia. The genus name ("Caladenia") is derived from the Ancient Greek words "kalos" meaning "beautiful" and "aden" meaning "a gland" referring to the colourful labellum. There has been disagreement between taxonomists as to which orchids belong in the genus "Caladenia" and which do not,


title: Caladenia content: and about classification within the genus. Recent studies of the molecular phylogenetics of the group suggest that John Lindley’s 1840 description of "Caladenia" (in "The Genera and Species of Orchidaceous Plants"), but including "Glossodia" and "Elythranthera", as being the most accurate reflection of the subtribe "Caladeniinae". Those orchids previously included in the genera "Glossodia", "Elythranthera" and "Cyanicula" have been transferred to "Caladenia". Caladenia orchids are informally grouped into those with long narrow sepals and petals, such as the white spider orchid ("C. longicauda") and the clubbed spider orchid ("C. longiclavata"), those with short sepals and petals which tend to hang


title: Caladenia content: near the stem, such as the zebra orchid ("C. cairnsiana") and dwarf zebra orchid ("C. pachychila") and a third group with short, spreading sepals and petals such as the cowslip orchid ("C. flava") and fan orchid ("C. nana"). Most caladenias are endemic to Australia. Eleven species, ten of which are endemic, occur in New Zealand with one also occurring in Australia. "Caladenia catenata" and "C. carnea" occur in New Caledonia, with the latter also found in Indonesia. There are about 136 species endemic to the south-west of Western Australia, 114 of which have been formally described and a further 18


title: Caladenia content: hybrids which have been described and named. In Western Australia, caladenias are found in the south-west from north of Kalbarri on the west coast to the Nuytsland Nature Reserve on the coast of the Great Australian Bight. Their habitats range from cool, moist Karri forest, to swamplands near the coast and to almost arid mallee woodland. Orchids in the genus "Caladenia" are pollinated by insects, usually bees or wasps. Some species appear to attract male wasps by having the scent, shape and colouration of flightless female wasps. For example, "C. lobata" attracts male "Thynnoides bidens" wasps. As the wasps lands


title: Caladenia content: on the flower, the labellum is pulled down by the insect's weight. As it moves up the labellum, that organ tips the insect against the column where the wasp contacts the sexual parts and either picks up or deposits pollinia. Many such orchids are only attractive to one species of insect. Sometimes hybrids between female-mimicking and food-attracting species occur as in the case of "C. patersonii" which has the odour of fermentation. "C. patersonii" attracts several insect species, and forms hybrids with insect-mimicking species including "C. lobata" and "C. dilatata". In some caladenias, the sepal and petals (apart from the


title: Caladenia content: labellum) are narrow with expanded tips called "clubs". These are thought to be the source of sexual attractants for those species that mimic female wasps. Most such species do not have a scent detectable by humans but are attractive to male Thynnid wasps. For some species, such as "C. multiclavia", it is the labellum that mimics the size, shape and presumably the scent of females. "Caladenia" have generally proven difficult to maintain and cultivate artificially. Some enthusiasts have had limited success by cultivating the symbiotic fungus that the orchid requires and by careful use of fertiliser to keep the fungus
