Nebamun (fl. )  was a middle-ranking official "scribe and grain accountant" during the period of the New Kingdom in ancient Egypt. He worked at the vast temple complex near Thebes (now Luxor) where the state-god Amun was worshipped. His name was translated as "My Lord is Amun", and his association with the temple, coupled with the importance of grain supplies to Egypt, meant that he was a person of considerable practical importance, though not of the highest rank.

Nebamun is known today because of the 1820 discovery of the richly-decorated Tomb of Nebamun on the west bank of the Nile at Thebes. Although the exact location of that tomb is now lost, a number of wall paintings from the tomb were acquired by the British Museum where they are now on display. They are considered to be one of that museum's greatest treasures.

Trainkos (, ), is the national railway company of Kosovo. It was originally formed as the Kosovo Railways J.S.C UNMIK Railways from the lines of the former Yugoslav Railways that lie on Kosovar territory. In 2011, the company was split into two public companies called Trainkos and Infrakos, the latter responsible for rail maintenance.

History

The first railway line was built under Turkish guidance for the Compagnie des Chemins de Fer Orientaux (CO), led by Maurice de Hirsch. It started in Thessaloniki, went on north to Skopje and reached Mitrovicë in 1873.

Before the First World War it was used by the Serbian Railways which operated as Yugoslav Railways between 1918 and 1992, and stopped their operations in Kosovo after the Kosovo War in 1999. In 2008 Serbian Railways restored some of its routes in Northern Kosovo region.

Rail network

Trainkos operates  of railway in Kosovo, of which  serve both freight and passenger and  only serve freight traffic. The non-electrified network originally consisted of two lines crossing at Fushë Kosovë railway station in Fushë Kosovë: A main line going from Kraljevo in western Serbia via Mitrovicë and Fushë Kosovë to Skopje in North Macedonia, and a branch line in east-west direction from Niš in southern Serbia via Pristina railway station in the capital Pristina and Fushë Kosovë with one branch leading to Peja and the other one to Prizren. Of these lines, the one from Pristina to Peja and the one from Fushë Kosovë to North Macedonia are still served by passenger trains. Some more parts of the network are occasionally served by freight trains, like Fushë Kosovë - Obiliq; the other parts of the network are currently unused. For years, there have been plans to extend the branch to Prizren across the border to Albania, to create a link to the network of the Albanian Railways. However, these projects are no more than letters of intent.

Rail links with adjacent countries
 Albania - no connection
 Montenegro - no connection
 North Macedonia - open
 Serbia - open in Zvečan/Lešak (though not connected to the main Trainkos network) and closed in Merdare

Recent investments in infrastructure
Since February 2019, the government of Kosovo has taken steps to rehabilitate and upgrade rail infrastructure in the country. Particular attention is being paid to the mainline route between Hani i Elezit and Leshak which constitutes part of Pan-European Corridor X and is the backbone of the TrainKos network.

Work has been split into 3 sections, beginning with the Hani i Elezit-Fushë Kosovë section (67 km), continuing with the Fushë Kosovë-Mitrovicë section (34 km) and finally being completed with the Mitrovicë-Leshak section (46 km).

In 2022 the European Investment Bank (EIB) provided funds of EUR 84.8 million for the first phase of the modernisation (Fushë Kosovë/Kosovo Polje – border with North Macedonia) for which EUR 43 million comes from grants, while EUR 40.8 million from loans.

For Phase 2, needed EUR 51.1 million for the 35 km Fushë Kosovë/Kosovo Polje – Mitrovicë / Mitrovica section including five stations to allow passenger and freight trains to run at 100 km/h and a freight axle load of 22.5 tonnes. This project section received EUR 18.58 million in grants and EUR 29.3 million in loans.

Phase 3 saw the funds drive for the  modernisation of 47 km of tracks and the associated railway stations between Mitrovicë/Mitrovica and the border with Serbia. The project received a total financing of EUR 100.9 million, of which EUR 1.3 million from grants (EBRD and WBIF) and EUR 25.1 million from loans (from EBRD and EIB).

The works include improvements to 32 level crossings, 18 km of road, and refurbishment of the stations in Fushë Kosovë, Mitrovicë, Vushtri, Druar, Prelluzhe and Obiliq-Kastriota. Alongside construction work on the Mitrovicë-Leshak section, the third phase of modernisation also includes improvement of signalling, telecommunication, and electrification. Altogether, the modernisation of the line from the North Macedonian border to the Serbian border is €208 million. The project is expected to be complete in 2023.

Operations

Passenger traffic
Trainkos operates three services: Local train, Freedom of Movement and InterCity. Usually, the trains consist of either two former SJ Y1 DMUs or a former NSB Di 3 with former SJ coaches. The InterCity trains usually consist of a Di 3 locomotive, one former SJ coach of Trainkos and one Macedonian coach.

Between Pristina and Peja there are two daily local train pairs, with the train staying in Peja overnight. One trip takes close to two hours.

Between Fushë Kosovë and Hani i Elezit (border of North Macedonia), there are two Freedom of Movement train pairs and one local train pair. As the only international train connection there is also the InterCity train pair (IC 891/892) from Pristina via Fushë Kosovë to Skopje and back. In direction of Fushë Kosovë, all trains stop at all stations; in the other direction the trains skip various stations, only the local train in the evening stops everywhere. The trains need close to one and a half hours for the trip from Fushë Kosovë to Hani i Elezit.

Until March 2008 there were two more Freedom of Movement train pairs from Fushë Kosovë to Leshak, but this traffic had to be discontinued until further notice due to ongoing tensions with Serbia.

Freight traffic

National freight traffic is of importance, as it serves various industries such as calcium carbonate plants throughout the country. International freight traffic is handled via Hani i Elezit, and the container terminal is close to Pristina airport, near the Miradi station.

Incomplete list of regular freight services:
 Coal from Obilić (Kastriot) to the NewCoFerronikeli plant near Glogovac. The coal cars are pulled to Obilić station by a steam locomotive operated by the coal mine. Usually runs every second day.
 Ore trains from the Golesh mine (south-west of Pristina airport) to the NewCoFerronikeli plant. Usually daily.
 Several types of freight (containers, cisterns, bulk goods) between Hani i Elezit (from/to North Macedonia) and Miradi, serving several private sidings en route. Usually daily.

Northern Kosovo
On 3 March 2008 (three weeks after the declaration of independence of Kosovo), the Serbian railways ŽS (successor of Yugoslav Railways) announced that they would seize control over the railway infrastructure lying in the northern part of Kosovo, including all personnel, and would resume traffic after having assured compliance to Serbian safety standards.

, ŽS (Srbija Voz) runs trains between Kraljevo and North Mitrovica. There is both freight and passenger traffic, but without border control, since Serbia considers Kosovo to be part of its own territory. This leads to the situation that, for instance, fuel is transported into Kosovo territory, without toll being paid to the Kosovarian state. The political situation prevents any train services between Zvečan and Mitrovica (the line would be in operating condition). From Mitrovicë, the line is, in principle, controlled by Kosovo Railways, but there is no regular freight or passenger traffic until Obiliq (freight) or Fushë Kosovë (passengers) respectively.

On January 13, 2017 ŽS announced that North Mitrovica – Kraljevo line will be extended to run as an express train directly to Belgrade. This line would connect North Mitrovica with Belgrade via Raška, Kraljevo, Kragujevac, Lapovo and Mladenovac. This was first time since Kosovo war that direct express train service was established between Belgrade and Kosovo. A diplomatic incident ensued, which led to the train returning to Belgrade without reaching Kosovo; the direct connection to Belgrade has not been reestablished since.

Rolling stock
The rolling stock partly stems from the former Yugoslav Railways, and was partly imported from various European countries, such as via the Kosovo Train for Life charter train that arrived in Pristina on 7 September 1999 bringing aid and rolling stock from the United Kingdom and Germany in connection with the Kosovo Force peace-keeping efforts.

Locomotives
Five types of locomotives are in use. There are former Yugoslav diesel-electric class 661 locomotives built by General Motors, former NSB Di 3 locomotives ("NOHABs") imported from Norway (also a construction by General Motors, but built in Sweden by the NoHAB works), a single Vossloh G1700-2 BB a single General Motors JT38CW-DC built mainly from new parts using parts from 661-203 (Bogies) and 661-261 (Compressor and some ancillarys) and a single EMD GT22HW-2, a custom-designed EMD A1A-A1A diesel-electric locomotive built by Đuro Đaković for Yugoslavia. While all types of locomotives are used for freight trains, only the NoHABs and GT22HW-2 are used to pull passenger trains, usually all trains between Fushë Kosovë and Peja, and rarely trains between Fushë Kosovë and Hani i Elezit.

Diesel railcars
Normally, all trains between Fushë Kosovë and Peja are run with former SJ class Y1 diesel railcars built by Fiat. Sometimes, the Y1 are also used on the line to Hani i Elezit. There are also some former FS class ALn 668 railcars available, but these are not needed any more since the delivery of the Y1 and are currently parked at Fushë Kosovë.

Carriages
Both carriages from the former Yugoslav Railways as well as second-hand carriages from all over Europe are available, however many of them not in operating condition. At the moment, all locomotive hauled passenger trains use former SJ coaches and, in the case of the InterCity, one carriage of Makedonski Železnici.

OP Financial Group is one of the largest financial companies in Finland. It consists of 180 cooperative banks and their central organization. "OP" stands for "osuuspankki" in Finnish, literally meaning "cooperative bank". The financial group has over 2 million customer-owners, offering retail and commercial banking services all over Finland, as well as insurance services.

In 2014 the group acquired the remainder of the shares of Pohjola Bank and consolidated its services under the OP brand, shortening its name to OP from OP-Pohjola, a name it had used since 2007.

OP's current headquarters are located in Vallila, Helsinki, and opened in 2015.

History
The company's predecessor was founded in 1891 when the fire insurance company Palovakuutus-Osakeyhtiö Pohjola commenced its operations. Pohjola Bank was listed on the Helsinki Stock Exchange in 1922, being one of the first companies to be listed in Helsinki.

The first local cooperative credit societies were founded in 1902 and received a large loan from the Finnish state the next year. The central organization for cooperatives was founded in 1928 as an ideological organization between local branches. As the business environment has changed and banking regulation has tightened, the central organization has increased its influence on local banks significantly.

In 2005 the central organization of OP Financial Group became a major shareholder of Pohjola Bank, which made the group the largest financial services group in Finland. The remainder of the shares were acquired in 2014.

Healthcare
In 2014 OP announced plans to expand into the health and wellbeing market. It operated a hospital in the Helsinki region. In 2021 it cancelled the plan and sold the hospital.

Padonia Township is a township in Brown County, Kansas, United States.  As of the 2000 census, its population was 259.

Today
The Civil Township of Padonia is both a geographic subdivision of Brown County and a form of local government. While the 41-plus square mile area of land is governmentally and officially the "Township of Padonia," the name most often refers colloquially to the grouping of houses and grain elevator.

Originating largely from closely placed Welsh settlements in 1869, a group of individual residences remains in the original location probably because the lots are still designated the size to accommodate them. Mostly on one- or two-acre plots of land, the privately owned residences are surrounded by both woods and corn fields. The Sac & Fox Nation of Missouri in Kansas and Nebraska is also a property holder in the community, of both farming ground and a former private residence.

The limits of the centralized Padonia are marked by town addresses and street signs, which differentiate from the rural street signs of the surrounding area. However, in general the colloquial limits of the "town" extend a bit beyond that, to expand the number of residences from six or seven to upwards of ten. Voting services were offered in Padonia for local elections up until the last few years, when they were moved to the nearest larger community and county seat, Hiawatha.

The Padonia grain elevator was until recently an independent co-operative owned by Padonia farmers, and is now part of Ag Partners of Hiawatha.

History
Like most communities, the agrarian Township of Padonia has a plurality of origins, from its first European settler (1854) to the establishment of civic and religious services (1850s) to its official foundation (1869). And like countless agricultural communities in the Midwest, many of their historic markings seem to recede just as gradually as they were established, leaving nothing but their names as husks to mark their passing.  In addition, many of the services that constitute a "town" were gradually closed or incorporated into the surrounding communities, largely Hiawatha. However, generally a quiet part of the world, Padonia's inhabitants don't seem to miss the loss, and instead enjoy the rich soil, intermittently wooded land, and company of neighbors within its forty-one plus square miles.

The first registered settler in the Civil Township of Padonia was E. R. Cornelison, who made his claim on April 3, 1854. By 1857, enough settlers had joined him that a post office was established on October 20, with Orville Root as its first postmaster. A schoolhouse joined it in 1858, built by the Padonia Town Company, a private corporation. It became part of public school's District 13.

However, it wasn't until 1869 that the Township of Padonia was officially founded, by Welsh immigrant and farmer David Evans. Its foundation consisted of ten families, all who came from Wales with Evans, and who (according to Kansas historian Cutler) "constitute[d] the best citizens and substantial farmers of this township."
Padonia was probably named after Jessie Padon, a settler in a log hut on the bank of the Walnut, near Schmidt's sawmill.  Because of its Welsch origins, Padonia was known as the Welsch Settlement of Padonia Township.

While never thickly populated, the 1880 federal census shows a population of 756 citizens in the approximately forty square mile area. In contrast, the actual grouping of houses was, in 1883, called "merely a thick settlement of farm houses." However, this grouping was at least large enough for a Justice of the Peace, Treasurer, church, and—as previously mentioned—post office and school. The Justice of the Peace in 1883 was Civil War veteran David Hillyer. The Treasurer, serving his third term, was John E. Davis, farmer and member of local Hiawatha Masonic Lodge, No. 35. But the township was never incorporated, and so never had a mayor, city council, or public services such as electricity or water.

The township's only church, Padonia Christian Church, was completed and dedicated in September 1881, at a total cost of $2,200, and had seventy-five members two years later in 1883. Historian Cutler argues that these families "consist[ed] of some of the most prominent and influential citizens and their families, of Padonia and Hamlin townships". It is still standing today.

Padonia contains one cemetery.

Literature
Notable of this small community is its native daughter 19th-century poet Ellen Palmer Allerton, whose works were compiled in Walls of Corn and Other Poems (Hiawatha: The Harrington Printing Co. 1894) and Annabel, and Other Poems.
Her poems treat themes of past and present state interest, such as pride in Kansas children ("Kansas, the Prairie Queen") and the issue of evolution ("A Housekeeper's Question").

Geography
Padonia Township covers an area of  and contains no incorporated settlements.

Allan Grant (October 23, 1919 – February 1, 2008) was an American photojournalist for Life magazine. He had the last photo shoot with actress Marilyn Monroe and took the first photos of Marina Oswald, Lee Harvey Oswald's wife, following U.S. President John F. Kennedy's assassination.

Early career

Grant was born in New York City. He was introduced to photography as a teenager, when he traded a model airplane for a camera.

One of his early jobs was in a photo laboratory, where he printed photos by noted photographers such as Alfred Eisenstaedt and Robert Capa.

Grant began working for Life in 1945 on a freelance basis. The magazine hired him full-time in 1946, after a photo he took at a Connecticut sailing school made the cover of an issue.

Life assignments

In 1947, Grant photographed Howard Hughes flight in the "Spruce Goose," and he filmed the atom bomb tests in Nevada during the 1950s.

In 1948, Grant photographed Chano Pozo, then a member of Dizzy Gillespie's band, in New York, shortly before he was murdered. Grant produced a photo shoot with Italian actress Anna Maria Pierangeli (better known as Pier Angeli) which was able to make Grant's first cover of Life magazine in the July 12, 1954 issue.

At the 1955 Academy Awards, he photographed Grace Kelly and Audrey Hepburn as they awaited the "Best Actress" announcement backstage.

During the fire that swept through Bel Air, California, in 1961, Grant photographed then-former Vice President Richard Nixon standing on top of the roof of his rented house with a water hose, wearing a tie and slacks.

Photographs Grant took of Marilyn Monroe during a photo shoot in her home were used to illustrate a profile of the actress in Lifes August 3, 1962, issue. Monroe died the week the issue appeared on newsstands.

When President John F. Kennedy was shot in Dallas in November 1963, Grant accompanied Life reporter Thomas Thompson to Texas. The two men began a search for Oswald's family and located Marina Oswald, her two children, Oswald's mother Marguerite and his brother Robert in Irving, Texas, at the home of Ruth Hyde Paine.

Paine, who spoke Russian, served as interpreter for Grant and Thompson. As Thompson persuaded Oswald's family to accompany them to Dallas in exchange for help in obtaining the right to visit Oswald in jail, Grant took photos for what they thought would be a Life exclusive. The next issue contained several photos of Kennedy's family but only one small photo of Marina.

Post-Life career

Grant left Life magazine in the late 1960s and began producing educational documentaries.

What Color is the Wind?, a film Grant made for television that was based on a Life magazine article about two boys, one born blind, received three Emmy nominations.

Grant died at his Brentwood, California, home of Parkinson's-related pneumonia.

Personal life
Grant had two sons, Ron and Richard Grant, with his first wife, and a daughter, Kristina Grant, with his third wife, Karin .

Shango is an album by Nigerian afrobeat tenor saxophonist Peter King. It was released in 1974, by Mr Bongo Records.

Critical reception
Thom Jurek of AllMusic explained the release "is a mixture of hard African rhythms, James Brown-styled funk, jazzed-up horn arrangements, and political messages. From the standpoint of the Lagos scene, the album is a classic of the period rivaling virtually anything that Fela or Tony Allen were putting across at the time. With King blowing deep-groove soul and out jazz saxophone solos above the chants, the music becomes a boiling pot of hip-shaking sexiness and rage." Writing for London Jazz News, Andrew Cartmel praised the keyboard work throughout the album by saying that it is "strikingly high standard, perhaps reaching a psychedelic peak on Watusi where it suggests Return to Forever-era Chick Corea."

Saint-Bris is an Appellation d'origine contrôlée (AOC) for white wine in the Burgundy wine region of France. This AOC is located around the village Saint-Bris-le-Vineux in the Yonne department, a few kilometers southwest of the Chablis AOC area, and southeast of the city of Auxerre, which places it roughly halfway between Paris and Burgundy's heartland in Côte d'Or. The approximately  of vineyard in the appellation are situated in the communes Chitry, Irancy, Quenne, Saint-Bris-le-Vineux and Vincelottes.

What makes Saint-Bris something of an oddity for Burgundy is that it is made from Sauvignon grapes, with the varieties Sauvignon blanc and Sauvignon gris both being allowed, rather than the Chardonnay of Chablis and the notable white Burgundies, or the Aligoté of many simpler, easy-drinking whites of the region. It is the only Burgundy AOC that allows Sauvignon in the wines. Wines from vineyards around Saint-Bris-le-Vineux planted with Chardonnay or Pinot noir are not included in the Saint-Bris AOC, but are allowed the appellation Côtes d'Auxerre.

While showing typical Sauvignon aromas, the wines have been characterised as less concentrated than the Sauvignon blanc-based AOC wines of the upper Loire valley, notably Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé.

History
Until the late 19th century, there were large vineyards in the Yonne department, covering , with nearby Paris as their main market, with which they were linked by waterways. One of the grape varieties grown in the Saint-Bris area was Roublot, which is now all but extinct. In those days, before the creation of the more strict appellation rules, wines from the Saint-Bris area could be called Chablis. The combination of competition from the Le Midi - the south of France - after the introduction of railroads in the 19th century, and the Great French Wine Blight phylloxera epidemic, in the late 19th and early 20th century knocked out almost the entire Yonne wine business, and most vineyards were abandoned.

It seems that Sauvignon grapes were introduced to the Saint-Bris area sometime after the local wine industry had more or less collapsed, perhaps due to the variety's success on the upper River Loire, not far away, and because Roublot had shown itself susceptible to disease and therefore was less suitable for replanting. In 1974, the Sauvignon-based white wines of Saint-Bris were considered good enough to be awarded VDQS status under the name of Sauvignon de Saint-Bris. In January 2003 they were elevated to full AOC status under the present name of Saint-Bris, and wines starting with the 2001 vintage were allowed to use the AOC name. The VDQS designation was repealed at the same time.

Goran Vujović (Cyrillic: Горан Bуjoвић; born 3 May 1987) is a Montenegrin footballer who plays as forward for FK Kom.

Club career

Early career
He played with FK Teleoptik until 2006 when he signed with FK Banat Zrenjanin playing in the Serbian SuperLiga. He played with Banat for 2 seasons having made 35 league appearances and scored 8 goals.

Videoton
In summer 2008 he moved to Hungary and signed with FC Fehérvár (who changed their name back to Videoton in 2009). After a solid first couple of seasons where he made 37 appearances with 12 goals in the Nemzeti Bajnokság I for the club, in January 2011 he was loaned to another Hungarian top league club, Kecskeméti TE, to help them win the 2010–11 Hungarian Cup although he did not play in the final as it was against his club, Fehérvár. In summer 2011 he was loaned to another club, Szombathelyi Haladás.

Mogren
In the summer 2013 transfer window, after having played a half-season with Lovćen returning from Hungarian football, Vujović joined Mogren. At the time he told a Montenegrin sports portal, CG fudbal, that he accepted Mogren's invitation and thought that Mogren was the best candidate to win the 2013–14 Montenegrin First League. However, by January 2014, Vujović sued Mogren at Montenegro's arbitrage court over unpaid salaries, and told newspaper "Dan" that in addition to not being able to pay salaries, that Mogren didn't even have enough money to fill the team bus with gas; he summarized his spell at Mogren as a "mistake in his career".

Sutjeska
On January 24, 2014, it was announced that Vujović joined Sutjeska Nikšić on a six-month contract. Even playing only a half-season, Vujović contributed to Sutjeska winning the 2013–14 Montenegrin First League with three league goals.

International career
Goran Vujović was a regular player of the Montenegro national under-21 football team during 2007 and 2008. On 6 June 2009, he made his debut for the Montenegro national football team in a match against Cyprus for the 2010 World Cup qualifiers. It remained his only international appearance.

The Princely County of Montbéliard (; ), was a princely county of the Holy Roman Empire seated in the city of Montbéliard in the present-day Franche-Comté region of France. From 1444 onwards it was held by the House of Württemberg. It had full voting rights in the Reichstag.

History

The county was established in 1042 by Emperor Henry III on the territory of the County of Burgundy, part of the Kingdom of Burgundy, a constituent of the Empire since 1033. It was led by a line of Counts of Montbéliard descending from Conrad's vassal Louis of Mousson in Upper Lorraine, husband of Countess Sophie of Bar, and their successors from the Scarpone family. In 1163 Lord Amadeus II of Montfaucon became Count of Montbéliard by marriage to Sophie, daughter of Count Theodoric II (Thierry II), who left no male heirs.

In 1407, the marriage of Countess Henriette, heiress of Count Stephen of Montfaucon with Eberhard IV of Württemberg tipped the county into the fold of the Swabian nobility in Germany. In addition to the County of Montbéliard, Countess Henrietta brought wedding dowries: fiefdoms, such as lordships in Granges-le-Bourg, Clerval, Passavant, Etobon, Porrentruy, with the fiefdoms of Saint-Hippolyte, and lands of Franquemont (Goumois). Some of them were in the County of Burgundy, but the countess administered the County of Burgundy by the sovereign right by virtue of the legacy that is of her grandfather Stephen of Montfaucon, and the tribute that she received from the Burgundian Duke John the Fearless. By the advent of this marriage, inheritance of the County of Montbéliard and its dependencies added to Württemberg who brought the lordship of Riquewihr, Ferrette and the County of Horbourg in Alsace.

Eberhard IV died in 1419 and upon Henriette's death in 1444, Montbéliard was adjudicated to their son Count Ludwig I of Württemberg-Urach. His son Eberhard V annexed Montbéliard as part of the united County of Württemberg, though it still retained its status as an immediate territory and separate county within the County. It was not a vassalage of Württemberg; it was his equal but hereditary committed to the marriage of Count Eberhard IV by Henriette. De facto, the Romance territory would retain "all its rights, traditions and customs, as well as its language" as it was customary in the vast Holy Roman Empire. In 1495 the Count of Montbeliard Eberhard V of Württemberg was raised to the rank of Duke and the county became the "Principality of Montbéliard".

In spite of vicissitudes, Montbéliard was ruled by junior branches of the House of Württemberg for several centuries. Count Frederick I of Montbéliard again inherited the Duchy of Württemberg in 1593, but in 1617 the county was again separated for his younger son Ludwig Frederick and ruled by his descendants until it fell back to Württemberg in 1723. With the annexation in 1748 of the "Four Lands" (land dependent Héricourt – Châtelot – Clémont – Blamont) by King Louis XV of France, the Principality was reduced to a "single county" until the French Revolution, or more precisely until November 1793. However it maintained its 80th vote in the Imperial Diet.

Integration into France
In 1793, the County of Montbéliard was occupied by the First French Republic, bringing it forty new townships (Abbévillers, Aibre, Allenjoie, Allondans, Arbouans, Audincourt, Badevel, Bart, Bavans, Bethoncourt, Bretigney, Brognard, Courcelles-lès-Montbéliard, Couthenans, Dambenois, Dampierre-les-Bois, Dasle, Désandans, Dung, Étouvans, Étupes, Exincourt, Fesches-le-Châtel, Grand-Charmont, Issans, Laire, Montbéliard, Nommay, Présentevillers, Raynans, Sainte-Marie, Sainte-Suzanne, Saint-Julien-lès-Montbéliard, Semondans, Sochaux, Taillecourt, Valentigney, Le Vernoy, Vieux-Charmont and Voujeaucourt). With Mandeure, from the Republic of Mandeure annexed at the same time, these municipalities were first linked to the département of Haute-Saône, constituting the new district of Montbéliard in 1793, including 3 cantons (Audincourt, Désandans and Montbéliard).

After the French forces under Jean Victor Marie Moreau had campaigned Württemberg in the course of the War of the First Coalition in 1796, Duke Frederick II Eugene finally renounce all rights to Montbéliard. In 1797, the cantons were transferred to the département Mont-Terrible. The département was abolished in 1800, being annexed to the Haut-Rhin département. With the new arrangement put in place that year, there were more than 2 cantons (Audincourt and Montbéliard) in the District of Porrentruy. In 1814, Haut-Rhin lost the territories which had been part of Mont-Terrible and returned them to Switzerland, with the exception of Montbéliard, which was transferred to the department of Doubs.

Nephon I or Niphon of Cyzicus (; ? – after 1314) was the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople from 1310 to 1314. From Veria, Greece. Nicephorus Gregoras claimed Nephon to be illiterate, a lover of luxury, and ill-suited for the position. Due to his willingness to compromise, during his time as patriarch the Arsenite Schism was healed within the Byzantine Church. Nephon abdicated the throne after four years.

In statistics, a Yates analysis  is an approach to analyzing data obtained from a designed experiment, where a factorial design has been used.
Full- and fractional-factorial designs are common in designed experiments for engineering and scientific applications. In these designs, each factor is assigned two levels, typically called the low and high levels, and referred to as "-" and "+". For computational purposes, the factors are scaled so that the low level is assigned a value of -1 and the high level is assigned a value of +1.

A full factorial design contains all possible combinations of low/high levels for all the factors. A fractional factorial design contains a carefully chosen subset of these combinations. The criterion for choosing the subsets is discussed in detail in the fractional factorial designs article.

Formalized by Frank Yates, a Yates analysis exploits the special structure of these designs to generate least squares estimates for factor effects for all factors and all relevant interactions. The Yates analysis can be used to answer the following questions:
What is the ranked list of factors?
What is the goodness-of-fit (as measured by the residual standard deviation) for the various models?

The mathematical details of the Yates analysis are given in chapter 10 of Box, Hunter, and Hunter (1978).

The Yates analysis is typically complemented by a number of graphical techniques such as the dex mean plot and the dex contour plot ("dex" stands for "design of experiments").

Yates Order
Before performing a Yates analysis, the data should be arranged in "Yates order". That is, given k factors, the kth column consists of 2(k - 1) minus signs (i.e., the low level of the factor) followed by 2(k - 1) plus signs (i.e., the high level of the factor). For example, for a full factorial design with three factors, the design matrix is

Determining the Yates order for fractional factorial designs requires knowledge of the confounding structure of the fractional factorial design.

Output
A Yates analysis generates the following output.
A factor identifier (from Yates order). The specific identifier will vary depending on the program used to generate the Yates analysis. Dataplot, for example, uses the following for a 3-factor model.
1 = 	factor 1
2 = 	factor 2
3 = 	factor 3
12 = 	interaction of factor 1 and factor 2
13 = 	interaction of factor 1 and factor 3
23 = 	interaction of factor 2 and factor 3
123 = 	interaction of factors 1, 2, and 3
A ranked list of important factors. That is, least squares estimated factor effects ordered from largest in magnitude (most significant) to smallest in magnitude (least significant).
A t-value for the individual factor effect estimates. The t-value is computed as

where e is the estimated factor effect and se is the standard deviation of the estimated factor effect.
The residual standard deviation that results from the model with the single term only. That is, the residual standard deviation from the model

where Xi is the estimate of the ith factor or interaction effect.
The cumulative residual standard deviation that results from the model using the current term plus all terms preceding that term. That is,

This consists of a monotonically decreasing set of residual standard deviations (indicating a better fit as the number of terms in the model increases). The first cumulative residual standard deviation is for the model

where the constant is the overall mean of the response variable. The last cumulative residual standard deviation is for the model

This last model will have a residual standard deviation of zero.

Parameter estimates as terms are added
In most cases of least squares fitting, the model coefficients for previously added terms change depending on what was successively added. For example, the X1 coefficient might change depending on whether or not an X2 term was included in the model. This is not the case when the design is orthogonal, as is a 23 full factorial design. For orthogonal designs, the estimates for the previously included terms do not change as additional terms are added. This means the ranked list of effect estimates simultaneously serves as the least squares coefficient estimates for progressively more complicated models.

Model selection and validation
From the above Yates output, one can define the potential models from the Yates analysis. An important component of a Yates analysis is selecting the best model from the available potential models. The above step lists all the potential models. From this list, we want to select the most appropriate model. This requires balancing the following two goals.
We want the model to include all important factors.
We want the model to be parsimonious. That is, the model should be as simple as possible.
In short, we want our model to include all the important factors and interactions and to omit the unimportant factors and interactions. Note that the residual standard deviation alone is insufficient for determining the most appropriate model as it will always be decreased by adding additional factors. Instead, seven criteria are utilized to define important factors. These seven criteria are not all equally important, nor will they yield identical subsets, in which case a consensus subset or a weighted consensus subset must be extracted. In practice, some of these criteria may not apply in all situations, and some analysts may have additional criteria. These criteria are given as useful guidelines. Mosts analysts will focus on those criteria that they find most useful.
Practical significance of effects
Order of magnitude of effects
Statistical significance of effects
Probability plots of effects
Youden plot of averages
Practical significance of residual standard deviation
Statistical significance of residual standard deviation
The first four criteria focus on effect sizes with three numeric criteria and one graphical criterion. The fifth criterion focuses on averages. The last two criteria focus on the residual standard deviation of the model. Once a tentative model has been selected, the error term should follow the assumptions for a univariate measurement process. That is, the model should be validated by analyzing the residuals.

Graphical presentation
Some analysts may prefer a more graphical presentation of the Yates results. In particular, the following plots may be useful:
Ordered data plot
Ordered absolute effects plot
Cumulative residual standard deviation plot

Cecil Wilfred Wilson (10 May 1875 –  August 1937) was an Anglican bishop, the second Bishop of Middleton from 1932 until 1937.

Educated at Norwich School and Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, he was  Vicar of St James's, Holloway, then St Mary's, Swansea (where he was also a Canon of Brecon Cathedral) and  finally Archdeacon of Bradford. During his last year before ascending to the Episcopate he was also the inaugural Provost of Bradford Cathedral. A prominent Freemason, he had a "sympathetic understanding of the poor".

The bishop was discovered dead at home by his son-in-law on 16 August, after returning the prior Thursday, 12 August, from a lengthy vacation with his family, who had remained behind. Milk delivered that Thursday had been brought into the house but not milk left the next day. He had recently complained of heart problems.

Teddy Drop Ear (Polish: Miś Uszatek), also spelled as Teddy Drop-Ear, and known as Teddy Floppy Ear is a Polish character from the stop motion-animated TV series of the same name. He was created jointly by Polish writer Czesław Janczarski and cartoonist Zbigniew Rychlicki.

Miś Uszatek's (Teddy Drop Ear's) first appearance was in a Polish comic magazine for children, "Miś", on 6 March 1957. Later, he was the main character of several children's books, which were translated into many languages. However, Miś Uszatek became very popular in 1975, when Łódź Animated Forms Studio (Studio Malych Form Filmowych), Se-ma-for, created a series of cartoons for the Polish TV network, featuring actor Mieczysław Czechowicz, who voiced the characters. In all-time Polish rankings of animated programs, the show usually comes second only to Bolek i Lolek.

The teddy bear Teddy Drop Ear and his friends - Prosiaczek (Piglet), Króliczki (Little Rabbits) and Zajączek (Little Hare), as well as Kruczek the Puppy - were loved by preteen kids. At the same time, Teddy Drop Ear played the role of a friend from kindergarten. He was also liked by parents, as he would always go to bed at appropriate hour, singing the goodnight song:

All together, Se-ma-for created 104 episodes of the cartoon; the last one was made in 1987. In the 1960s, two theatrical movies about the friendly bear were made.
Also, in the fall of 2007, the Se-ma-for studio announced that it was planning to make more episodes, but later these plans changed in favor of a possible full-length movie, to be created with help from the Japanese company Eden Entertainment. As of 2008, Mis Uszatek airs on Polish TV every Thursday.

In July 2007, local authorities in Łódź decided to construct a monument dedicated to Miś Uszatek, to be placed along Łódź's main street, Piotrkowska.

The cartoon is also popular in other countries; it is one of the best-selling exports of Polish television. All together, Polish TV have sold it to 22 countries, including Canada, Iran, and a number of African nations.

 In Belarus (post-USSR) as Аблавушак
 In Catalonia (Spain) as Les històries de l'osset Faluc
 In Czech as Medvídek Ušáček and aired on ČT1 (later ČT2), and Decko as part of Vecernicek.
 In Finland it is known as Nalle Luppakorva and it was so popular there that dolls featuring the series' characters were once stolen from an exhibition.
 In Hungary as Füles Mackó and aired on MTVA as part of TV Maci.
 In Israel as הרפתקאותיו של דובון
 In Japan as Oyasumi Kuma-chan (おやすみ、クマちゃん, Good night, little bear).
 In the Netherlands as Teddy Hangoor
 In North Macedonia as Мечето Ушко (Mecheto Ushko)
 In Portugal as O urso Teddy
 In Russia (post-USSR) as Мишка-Ушастик
 In Slovakia as Macko Uško
 In Slovenia as Medvedek Uhec
 In the United Kingdom as Teddy Drop Ear with voices by Jeni Barnett as part of the TV-am children's magazine programme Rub-a-Dub-Tub.

In June 2010, Mennica Polska S.A. minted 8,000 silver 1-dollar coins depicting Miś Uszatek on behalf of the government of Niue.

Footage from this cartoon series was also shown on Tots TV as animated illustrations for some of Tom's stories which he makes up and writes himself.

Hangthwaite Castle was an earthwork motte and bailey castle founded by Nigel Fozzard. It stood in the 11th century and is situated just north of Scawthorpe, Doncaster, South Yorkshire, England. Originally, the site was known as Langthwaite, though it changed over the years to Hangthwaite. In the 13th century, a fortified house called Radcliffe Moat () replaced Hangthwaite Castle as a local fortification.  Nowadays, only the motte and the ditches remain. Encased by the wide wet ditch, the motte defends a bean-shaped eastern bailey and a small north-western mound, which is possibly a barbican.

A settlement was adjacent to the castle, which is now designated as a Deserted Medieval Village (DMV). The site is now a scheduled monument.

It is known locally as Castle Hills, with a school, just a few hundred yards away bearing the name Castle Hills Primary School.

KDSU (91.9 FM) is a radio station licensed to Fargo, North Dakota. The station is owned by North Dakota State University, but is operated by Prairie Public Radio.  It airs NPR news and talk programming for most of the day, but simulcasts KFJM's Roots, Rock and Jazz programming from 9 am to 3 pm and from 8 pm to 4 am on weekdays.  The rest of the main Prairie Public Radio network airs classical music during these times.

KDSU shares its coverage area with Moorhead, Minnesota-based Minnesota Public Radio outlets KCCD and KCCM, making Fargo/Moorhead one of the smallest markets with competing NPR member stations.

History

In 1952, students at the then-North Dakota Agricultural College signed on a very low-powered campus AM carrier current station. It adopted the fictional call letters "KDSC""; since the station didn't need a license, this was never officially assigned by the Federal Communications Commission. The station began using "KDSU" as an identifier sometime in the early 1960s, after the college became North Dakota State University. It went off the air in 1964 due to technical difficulties.

It returned in 1966 as a fully licensed FM station, now officially assigned the KDSU call letters. It originally tried to satisfy all tastes, airing jazz, blues, folk music, classical music, rock and opera. By 1981, however, it had evolved into a more traditional public radio station, airing news and jazz during the week and specialty programming on weekends.

Isaias (sometimes spelled Esaias, Jeaias or Jesaias), (Greek: Ισάιας; ? – 13 May 1332) was the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople from 1323 to 1332.

The Byzantine Emperor Andronikos II Palaiologos had Isaias confined to the monastery section of the Magnaura school in Constantinople in 1327, possibly due to the Patriarch's support for the emperor's grandson, Andronikos III Palaiologos during the civil war of 1321–1328. Upon the overthrow of Andronikos II by his grandson on 23/14 May 1328, a delegation was sent to the monastery to retrieve Isaias. On his way back to the palace, Isaias was escorted not by the usual ecclesiastics, but by a troupe of musicians, dancing girls and comedians, one of whom had him so helpless with laughter that he almost fell off his horse.

Igal Talmi  (Hebrew: יגאל תלמי) (born January 31, 1925) is an Israeli nuclear physicist.

Biography
Igal Talmi was born in 1925 in Kiev, Ukraine, then part of the Soviet Union. His family immigrated to Mandate Palestine later that year and settled in Kfar Yehezkel. After graduating from Gymnasia Herzliya in Tel Aviv in 1942, he joined the Palmach.

In 1947, Talmi completed his master's degree in physics at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, writing his M.Sc. thesis under the guidance of Giulio Racah.  In 1949, he earned his doctorate at the ETH Zurich in Switzerland under Wolfgang Pauli. From 1952 to 1954, he was a research fellow at Princeton University, where he worked with Eugene Wigner.

Igal is married to Chana (Kivelewitz). They have two children: a son, Prof. Yoav P. Talmi, M.D., a head and neck neurosurgeon; and a daughter, Prof. Tamar Dayan, a zoologist who is married to General (Aluf) Uzi Dayan.

Scientific career
In 1954, Talmi joined the Weizmann Institute of Science where he became Professor of Physics in 1958. Talmi was one of the founders of the Department of Nuclear Physics at the Weizmann Institute. He served as the Head of the Nuclear Physics Department (1967–1976), and the Dean of the Faculty of Physics (1970–1984). Talmi spent sabbatical years  at Princeton, Stanford, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Yale and other universities as a visiting professor.

Talmi has been a member of the Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities since 1963, and was the Chairman of the Division of Sciences in from 1974 to 1980. He also served on the Israel Atomic Energy Commission.

In addition to his influential papers and conference talks, Talmi also wrote two books that served as guides and companions to generations of nuclear structure theorists. The first, written with the late Amos de-Shalit, was a veritable bible of shell theory and the second, written some 30 years later, continued the tradition of being an exhaustive compendium of relevant results and derivations.

Nuclear physics research
Talmi's main field of research is the theory of nuclear structure. The atomic nucleus can be composed of a large number of protons and neutrons which move due to strong interactions between them. In spite of their complexity, nuclei exhibit some simple and regular features. Most importantly, nuclei behave as if they move independently in a common static potential well. This gives rise to the existence of shells of protons and neutrons much like the electronic shells in atoms. Nuclei whose proton and neutron shells are complete have special stability and the numbers of protons and of neutrons in them are called magic numbers. This picture of the nucleus is called the nuclear shell model to obtain the information from experimental data and use it to calculate and predict energies which have not been measured. This method has been successfully used by many nuclear physicists and has led to deeper understanding of nuclear structure. To calculate energies of nuclear states it is necessary to know the exact form of the forces which act between the nuclear constituents. These are still not sufficiently known even after many years of research. Talmi developed a method to obtain the information from experimental data and use it to calculate and predict energies which have not been measured. This method has been successfully used by many nuclear physicists and has led to deeper understanding of nuclear structure.
The theory which gives a good description of these properties was developed.  This description turned out to furnish the shell model basis of the elegant and successful interacting boson models.
Talmi also participated in the study of explicit
fermion–boson mappings required to connect the interacting-boson model with its shell-model
roots and in the introduction of the boson F-spin analog to nucleon isospin.

Awards and recognition
 In 1962, awarded the Weizmann Prize of Tel Aviv Municipality.
 In 1965, awarded the Israel Prize in exact sciences, together with his colleague Professor Amos de-Shalit, for their work on "shell model" in nuclear physics.
 In 1971, received the Rothschild Prize.
 In 1972, elected Fellow of the American Physical Society
 In 2000, awarded the Hans Bethe Prize of the American Physical Society.
 In 2003, received the EMET Prize, presented by the prime minister of Israel.

John XIV, surnamed Kalekas (; c. 1282 – 29 December 1347) was the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople from 1334 to 1347.  He was an anti-hesychast and opponent of Gregory Palamas. He was an active participant in the Byzantine civil war of 1341–1347 as a member of the regency for John V Palaiologos, against John VI Kantakouzenos.

Personal life
John Kalekas was born about the year 1282 in Apros, Thrace. After having grown up in modest circumstances, John was married and had a son and daughter.

Career
He was ordained a priest. John came under the patronage of John Kantakouzenos, the chief minister of emperor Andronikos III Palaiologos and later megas domestikos, who introduced him to the imperial court. In 1334, against the resistance of the patriarchal synod, John Kantakouzenos led John Kalekas to his election, first, as Metropolitan of Thessalonica and, then, as patriarch of Constantinople, where he succeeded Isaias.

About the year 1337, during the patriarchate of John Kalekas, a Calabrian monk, Barlaam, who was the abbot of the Monastery of the St. Savior in Chora, learned of the practice of hesychasm during a visit to Mount Athos. Barlaam, trained in western scholastic theology, was scandalized and began to campaign against the practice and its advocate Gregory Palamas. The dispute grew until 1341, when emperor Andronikos III, a supporter of Gregory Palamas, convened the Fifth Council of Constantinople. Although he was supportive of Barlaam, John did not resist his condemnation; after his condemnation Barlaam left Constantinople permanently. Thereafter, Barlaam's cause was taken up by Gregory Akindynos. In 1344, in a synod convened by John Kantakouzenos, where the patriarch John was absent, Gregory Akindynos was also condemned.

In 1345, having finally committed to the Barlaam party, Patriarch John convened a synod that excommunicated Gregory Palamas from the Church and had him imprisoned for three years, until after John's death in 1347. During the same synod, John also had Bishop Isidore of Monembasia, a disciple of Gregory, excommunicated.

After the death of emperor Andronikos III in June 1341, two factions emerged at the imperial court concerned with the regency for the infant co-emperor John V Palaiologos. Aided by the intrigues of Alexios Apokaukos, the two sides engaged in a Byzantine civil war that lasted until 1347. After some maneuvering one faction formed around John Kantakouzenos, who was a supporter of Gregory Palamas, and included the provincial magnates from Macedonia and Thrace. The other faction, which seized imperial power, was led by Patriarch John Kalekas and Alexios Apokaukos, and supported Andronikos's widow Anna of Savoy in  her efforts to assume the regency for the young John V Palaiologos. In forming the faction, Anna made Patriarch John a regent and appointed Alexios Apokaukos an eparchos (urban prefect).

Initially, the regency held the upper hand, but by 1345 John Kantakouzenos, aided by help from Orhan I of the Ottoman emirate and the murder of Alexios Apokaukos, dealt the regency a severe blow. In 1346, John VI Kantakouzenos was crowned co-emperor in Adrianople and entered Constantinople in February 1347. Then, the regency war ended with the agreement that John Kantakouzenos would be the senior emperor and regent for John V Palaiologos until he was old enough to rule on his own.

Synod of 1347

A synod was held in February 1347 which deposed John, exiling him to Didymoteicho, and also excommunicated Gregory Akindynos. Isidore Buchiras, who had been excommunicated by the synod of 1344, was now made patriarch.

Within days after the end of the conciliabulum, John VI Kantakouzenos, victoriously entered Constantinople and forced his opponents to crown him co-emperor. One of his first acts was to confirm the deposition of  John XIV and to approve the synodal tome that had just been issued against him.

The hesychasm dispute continued through a synod convened by Barlaam supporters that refused to accept Patriarch Isidore before a final settlement of the dispute came about at a sixth synod in 1351 during the patriarchate of Callistus I.

Final years
In the latter part of 1347, the deposed John Kalekas was returned from exile to Constantinople where he died later in the year.

Gustavus Hesselius ( – May 25, 1755) was a Swedish-born American painter. He was European trained and became a leading artist in the mid-Atlantic colonies during the first half of the eighteenth century. He was among the earliest portrait painters and organ builders in the United States.  He was named to the Prince George's County Hall of Fame by the Prince George's County Historical Society.

Biography
Hesselius was born in Folkärna parish at Avesta in Dalarna County, Sweden. He was the son of Andreas Olai Hesselius (1644-1700)   and his wife Maria Bergia	(c. 1658-1717). His father was the vicar at Folkärna Church. His mother was the sister-in-law of Jesper Swedberg (1653–1735), Bishop of the Diocese of Skara and aunt of religious leader Emanuel Swedenborg.

Hesselius had studied art in Sweden and probably in England. He came to Wilmington, Delaware in 1711 together with his elder brother Andreas Hesselius (1677-1733). His brother had been appointed to become parish priest of Holy Trinity Church, the Swedish Lutheran parish at Fort Christina.

He lived in Delaware until 1717, then moved to Philadelphia where he lived until 1721. In 1721, he moved to Prince George's County, Maryland and became a portrait painter.  That same year, he received the first recorded public art commission in the American colonies; he painted The Last Supper. He also painted a Crucifixion.  Some time around 1735, Hesselius returned to Philadelphia where he spent the rest of his life.

He also worked as an organ builder, having built an organ for the Moravian Church in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania in 1746. From about this time on, he focused on building organs with the assistance of John Clemm (1690–1762). He referred painting commissions to his son John.

Personal life
Gustavus Hesselius was married to Lydia Getchie (1684-1755).  He was the father of painter John Hesselius (1728–1778). His granddaughter Elizabeth Henderson was married to artist Adolf Ulrik Wertmüller (1751-1811). Hesselius  was listed as a member of the Gloria Dei (Old Swedes') Church in Philadelphia. He died during 1755 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and was buried on the 25th at Gloria Dei Church.

Style
While most of his portraits adhere to the formality typical for American portrait painting of his time, according to Michael J. Lewis, his portrait of Lappawinsoe, chief of the Lenape, was among the first to foreshadow "the sympathetic and unaffected realism" that would later develop in American portraiture.  The painter was able to ignore the rigid conventions of colonial society because Lappawinsoe was a member of a First Nation.

The Last Supper
The Last Supper by Gustavus Hesselius was the first recorded public art commission in the American colonies. Commissioned in October 1721, it is displayed on the choir gallery of St. Barnabas Church, Upper Marlboro, Maryland. Before this, most painting in the new world had been portraits. The Last Supper was the first significant American painting to depict a scene.

The painting which measures 35 inches by 117½ inches was commissioned for an older church built in 1710, and remained there until the present structure was built in 1774. It disappeared during the construction of the new Brick Church and did not surface again until it was discovered in a private collection in 1848 or 1914, when Charles Henry Hart identified it, depending on which source one follows.

It was on loan by Rose Neel Warrington for a period at the Philadelphia Museum of Art and at the American Swedish Historical Museum as well as the Exhibition of Early American Paintings at the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences in 1917 and the Wilmington Society of the Fine Arts. The painting was willed once again to St. Barnabas upon Warrington's death.

Isidore I (Greek: Ισίδωρος Α'; ? – February or March 1350) was the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople from 1347 to 1350. Isidore Buchiras was a disciple of Gregory Palamas.

Early life

Isidore was an ethnic Greek born in Thessaloniki during the latter part of the 1290s where he became a teacher and spiritual guide.

Career
As a disciple of St. Gregory, he was drawn into the dispute between the followers of Gregory Palamas and Barlaam of Calabria over Hesychasm during the middle decades of the fourteenth century.

Synod of 1344
In 1345, Isidore, who was at the time the bishop elect of Monemvasia, and Gregory Palamas were excommunicated by a synod of anti-hesychast bishops that had been convened by Patriarch John XIV Kalekas who himself was an opponent of St. Gregory.

Palamas and Buchiras recanted.

Synods of 1347

In February 1347, during a synod convened by emperor John VI Kantakouzenos, Patr. John XIV was deposed and Isidore brought back and elected to succeed John XIV as patriarch of Constantinople. Upon becoming patriarch, Isidore released Gregory Palamas from prison and consecrated him Archbishop of Thessalonica.

Patriarchate
During the two and a half years of his patriarchate, Isidore sought to have the whole Byzantine Church accept the Palamite dogmas.  He selected bishops only from the Palamite party.  He instituted harsh penalties for those who refused to submit.
