a 26–28 record, keeping the team "Beavers" moniker. Previously, the Tacoma Tigers and Spokane Indians franchises had folded on May 26, 1918, leaving the league with four teams. Vancouver, B.C. owner Robert Brown had disagreements over the travel costs of the league and had sought to change the league schedule, offering teams money to play their home games in Vancouver B.C. The Pacific Coast International League stripped the team from Brown and relocated the franchise, despite the team drawing well in Vancouver B.C. Shortly after the Vancouver, Washington franchise began play, the Pacific Coast International League folded. On July 7, 1918, the Vancouver franchise had an 0–11 record after the relocation at the time the league folded. The combined Vancouver teams finished the 1918 season with an overall record of 26–39 to finish in 4th place. Playing under managers Robert Brown and James A. Hamilton in the two locations, the team finished 16.0 games behind the 1st place Seattle Giants in the final standings. The continuation of World War I, the Spanish flu pandemic, as well as local factory work times all contributed to the demise of the 1918 league.

Some sources erroneously have the Vancouver Soldiers franchise based in Vancouver, Canada. On May 18, 1904, the Vancouver Soldiers, with a 3–8 record, moved from Vancouver, Washington to Albany, Oregon. The team then continued play as the Albany Rollers. The move was necessary because the Oregon State League was not admitted to the National Association governing body until the league vacated the Vancouver, Washington franchise. The National Association determined that the Vancouver franchise was infringing on another minor league team, as Vancouver was deemed to be in the regional territory of the Portland Browns of the Pacific Coast League. After the Vancouver franchise relocated to Albany, the Oregon State League permanently folded on July 6, 1904. The league folded after both the Eugene and Roseburg franchises folded on July 6. After compiling a 14–16 record while based in Albany, the Vancouver/Albany team finished the season in 3rd place with a 17–24 overall record. Playing under managers Fred Gregory and E.P. Preble, the Vancouver/Albany team finished 9.5 games behind the 1st place Salem Raglans in the final Oregon State League Standings. 1918 Pacific Coast International League Minor league baseball returned to Vancouver, Washington in 1918. The 1918 Vancouver Beavers joined as charter members of the Pacific Coast International League, during the season. The Pacific International League had formed as a six–team Class B level league, evolving from the 1917 Northwestern League.

due to baroclinic forces, the MFR upgraded the system to a moderate tropical storm once more. It then underwent subtropical transition according to the JTWC, with the agency ceasing advisories on the system on 15:00 UTC of 8 February. MFR issued their last advisory on the storm on 8 February as it again transitioned into a post-tropical cyclone, with the system being last noted on 11 February. Preparations Mauritius A class IV cyclone warning was issued on 2 February as Batsirai neared the island. Madagascar The landfall area of Batsirai was projected to accumulate up to of rainfall. The country's capital, Antananarivo, was predicted to have of rainfall. Search and Rescue teams were deployed in Brickaville, Manakara, and Morondava. The START Network set aside $567,000 to provide assistance. Emergency stock lists were updated by HCT members and help restock humanitarian items. The country's government's disaster management agency worked with UNOSAT as well, and aerial assistance was also prepared as Batsirai approached. Extensive flooding in the east, southeast, and central highlands and major damage were anticipated. The storm was also expected to cause more damage than usual due to the deforestation the country experienced in the last 20 years. The third largest city in the nation, Antsirabe, was forecasted to receive in excess of of rainfall. Batsirai was expected to worsen food scarcities and emergencies in the country. Schools were closed on 4 February, and residents in low-lying and coastal areas were advised to leave. The storm was also feared to hamper the relief effects of Tropical Storm Ana weeks before. A predicted 4.4 million people were expected to be affected by the storm across 14 districts, with 595,000 directly. More than 150,000 inhabitants were expected be displaced. The IFRC launched a fundraiser to help with potential victims of the storm. Waves of up to 15 m (50 ft) were forecasted as the storm closed in on the coast. The United Nations worked with aid agencies to help with preparedness and the aftermath. Humanitarian items were stockpiled, and rescue aircraft were put on standby. A spokesman for the UN's organization OCHA, stated the impact of Batsirai was expected to be "considerable". Impact Mauritius Along with the airport, all transport services were closed due to the impact. Wind gusts reached , and rain totalled in other areas of the island country. Two deaths were reported. Trees had been uprooted in many areas, and at least 7,500 homes faced power outages. A total of 138 people sought refuge in evacuation centers. The Mahébourg waterfront was damaged by large waves, with several chairs and tables swept into the sea. Réunion At least 36,000 people on the island lost power as Batsirai approached, with 10,000 still out on 7 February. Several people were injured, with the storm causing carbon monoxide poisoning in 10 people. Eleven sailors were stranded in an oil tanker during the storm, and were rescued on 4 February. Agricultural losses were estimated at €47 million ($53.3 million). Madagascar Communication was sparse initially when the storm made landfall. Batsirai's conditions caused power outages and forced many people to move into shelters. Trees fell and power grids were knocked out, as well as homes were destroyed. At least 112,000 people were displaced by the storm, with 91,000 left homeless. Several houses had their roofs completely blown away, and many large coconut palm trees were blown over. Some houses were reduced to just wooden frames, and a survivor said the damage resembled a "fire", and that it was the "strongest cyclone [anyone] had experienced". Mananjary and Manakara were particularly heavy hit, with the former having at least 26,000 displaced alone, and had its hospital and prison damaged as well. A large portion of Madagascar was still waterlogged from Ana weeks earlier, and the arrival of Batsirai worsened the effects. Nosy Varika was strongly damaged. An official described the damage as if they were "bombed", with 95% of buildings being reported as destroyed. Floods cut access to the town. Electric poles fell, and roofs were torn off in the city of Fianarantsoa, which was also heavily flooded. A landslide was caused by the cyclone in the region of Haute Matsiatra. Flooding and debris rendered 17 bridges and 17 roads impassable, as well as at least 69 classrooms completely destroyed, and 439 damaged; this left over 9,000 children unable to attend lessons, with 403 in Mananjary alone. After the storm passed, already flooded canals and rivers continued to rise. In Mananjary and surrounding areas, early reports indicated over 6,000 buildings were flooded, with half of them destroyed. The president of Madagascar, Andry Rajoelina, showed images of a church‘s metal roof twisted off, along other damage online after he visited Mananjary. Fruit trees and rice paddies were ripped and flooded in the town and other areas, hampering the harvest that was only two weeks away. The time it took to travel to the town by car was increased several days due to damage. Main roads linking the capital to smaller areas were cut off, making relief efforts even harder. The UNHAS aerial flight discovered that Fitovinany region mostly suffered flooding damage; with several communities taking heavy hits to their agriculture and infrastructure. In total, over 17,100 homes were damaged, with 7,488 destroyed, 2,714 partially, and 6,978 flooded. 53 health centers were damaged, along with 6 destroyed. In Ikongo alone, 87 people died. Collapsing homes killed people in their sleep. A member of parliament representing the district also said that people also drowned in flooded areas there as well. As of 13 February, 121 deaths have been reported, including 13 children, with 5 being under 12 years of age. Aftermath Mauritius A total of 454 people, in 182 affected families, sought shelter in 45 centers. They were all surveyed in order to give them the necessary help after the storm. The Minister of Social Integration, Social Security, and National Solidarity, Mrs. Fazila, Jeewa-Daureeawoo, made the announcement about the procedure on 7 February. Madagascar The impacts of Tropical Storm Ana were compounded by the damage that Batsirai brought. Schools and churches prepared to shelter those displaced around Mananjary. World Food Programme distributed hot meals to 4,000 evacuated and displaced people in shelters. Drinking water and basic necessities were lacking in impacted areas, and the spreading of several diseases was also a concern. A humanitarian crisis was also feared to rise out of the storms effects. Aerial rescue effort first took place on 6 February via an UNHAS flight. The Malagasy government | further upgraded it to a Category 2 tropical cyclone after noting a well-defined central dense overcast and a microwave eye feature. The MFR further upgraded it to tropical cyclone status at midday. Three hours later, the JTWC upgraded it to a Category 3 tropical cyclone, as its eyewall had expanded and also developed a wide pinhole-eye. However, this was short-lived, and it weakened to Category 1 status by 03:00 UTC on 1 February, as its pinhole-shaped eye collapsed and its eyewall became disorganized, possibly due to the influence of increasing vertical wind shear. At 15:00 UTC the same day, however, it made a comeback to a Category 2 status, as it managed to consolidate and its eye feature re-appeared on satellite imagery. Three hours later, the MFR upgraded it to a intense tropical cyclone. By 03:00 UTC on 2 February, the cyclone underwent another round of rapid intensification, intensifying from a Category 2 to a Category 4 tropical cyclone. Its eyewall rapidly organized and also developed a wide eye. After reaching its peak at 12:00 UTC, satellite imagery depicted the formation of another eyewall and signs of weakening. It weakened to a Category 3 system during this time. After completing the eyewall replacement cycle, the storm again briefly intensified into a Category 4 system, with MFR determining that Batsirai's central barometric pressure had rapidly fallen to 934 hPa (mbar; 27.58 inHg). It weakened again to a Category 3 system, though it still maintained its overall convective structure. Gradually weakening due to land interaction with Madagascar, it made landfall at 17:30 UTC on 5 February close to the city of Nosy Varika. MFR declared that Batsirai had degenerated into an overland depression, with the JTWC downgrading it to a tropical storm. The system entered into the Mozambique Channel, and the MFR re-upgraded the system to a moderate tropical storm. By 7 February, it weakened into a remnant low before transitioning into a post-tropical cyclone. Despite fluctuating convective activity, high wind shear, and low sea surface temperatures, due to baroclinic forces, the MFR upgraded the system to a moderate tropical storm once more. It then underwent subtropical transition according to the JTWC, with the agency ceasing advisories on the system on 15:00 UTC of 8 February. MFR issued their last advisory on the storm on 8 February as it again transitioned into a post-tropical cyclone, with the system being last noted on 11 February.

the summit rises over 4,300 feet (1,310 m) above the Elwha Valley in approximately 1.5 mile. The Grand Canyon of the Elwha lies near the north base of the mountain. Etymology This landform was named by Forest Service District Ranger Sanford Maurice Floe (1896–1975) to honor fellow ranger, William Bryan "Dodger" Bender (1896–1930). Bender reportedly discovered an illegal Prohibition-era still in the national forest and was stabbed by the moonshiner, then died a few years later due to complications of losing a lung from the knife attack. He was buried at Ocean View Cemetery in Port Angeles, Washington. Dodger Point Fire Lookout The Dodger Point Fire Lookout was built atop the mountain in 1933. Dodger Bender was the first to man the new lookout when it was built. During World War II, the lookout was used as an Aircraft Warning Service station in 1942–43.

of Serbia." Community leader after the Kosovo War Early years (1999–2003) Kosovska Mitrovica became a divided community after the Kosovo War, with the northern half being predominantly Serb and the southern half predominantly Albanian. Ivanović became an executive member of the municipal Serbian National Council (Srpsko nacionalno Veće, SNV) in the northern half. In November 1999, the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) suspended him for thirty days from his role as deputy director of the community's medical centre after he refused to permit the reintegration of Albanian staff members who had walked off the job a month earlier. UNMIK's decision led to protests; some doctors at a rally in support of Ivanović said they opposed discrimination against ethnic Albanians but that the proposed manner of reintegration threatened the integrity of the Serb community, while the hospital's management stressed that UNMIK should also ensure the safe return of Serbs expelled from other hospitals throughout Kosovo. Ivanović was named to the executive committee of the Serbian National Council of Kosovo and Metohija on its founding in November 1999, with particular responsibility for health. In January of the following year, he articulated the council's policy of non-cooperation with UNMIK chief Bernard Kouchner and its non-participation with UNMIK's interim administrative council. He became known for making inflammatory speeches in this period; at a rally in February 2000, he called for the return to Yugoslavian troops to Kosovo, said that inter-communal violence against Serbs from members of the Albanian community was increasing, and was quoted as saying, "Serbs feel the same as Jews in Auschwitz." On another occasion, he described French, German, and American soldiers in Kosovo as occupiers, saying, "They want to throw Serbs out of Serbian land." In August 2000, he said that the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO)'s takeover of Trepča Mines (which was then shut down by UNMIK on environmental grounds) was part of a strategy to ethnically cleanse Kosovo of Serbs and establish a Greater Albania. In February 2001, Ivanović spoke against the return of displaced Albanians to northern Mitrovica until displaced Serbs were permitted to return safely to other parts of Kosovo. "We have nothing against Kosovska Mitrovica being a multiethnic city again, but all other parts of Kosovo must be multiethnic, too," he said. In the same period, he called for Mitrovica to be formally divided into two separate municipalities. Some media reports in this period identified him (perhaps erroneously) as a local leader of the Democratic Party of Serbia (Demokratska stranka Srbije, DSS). Ivanović called for the Serb community to boycott the 2001 Kosovan parliamentary election, saying that participation "would legitimize the ethnic cleansing of Serbs from Kosovo. Unlike some other prominent Serb politicians in Kosovo, he considered the Serbian "Return" electoral coalition as an illegitimate project. Notwithstanding his opposition, a large number of northern Kosovo Serbs participated in the vote. Ivanović's stand had political repercussions; in late 2001, the Serbian government (which supported participation) removed him as director of the Kosovska Mitrovica hospital. It was during this time that Ivanović was first identified as leader of the regional Serbian National Council of Northern Kosmet. In April 2002, Ivanović welcomed Serbian deputy prime minister Nebojša Čović's proposal for the creation of entities in the province (similar to those in Bosnia and Herzegovina) as "the essence of what Serbs need in order to survive in this area." The following January, Ivanović oversaw a creation of a group called the Union of Municipalities of Northern Kosovo-Metohija and Serb Municipalities of Kosovo-Metohija, generally considered to have been the first iteration of the Community of Serb Municipalities. 2002 charges An arrest warrant was issued for Ivanović on charges of attempted murder in August 2002. The charges related to events at a demonstration in Kosovska Mitrovica on 8 April 2002 when twenty-two members of a mainly Polish UNMIK contingency were injured after coming under fire from demonstrators armed with rifles and hand grenades. UNMIK officials believed that Ivanović had orchestrated the violence. The initial attempt to arrest him was unsuccessful; he was not home when UNMIK authorities broke into his Zvečan flat to execute the warrant. Several leading SNV members charged that the arrest attempt was politically motivated, a position later echoed by Yugoslavian president Vojislav Koštunica Nebojša Čović said that video footage of the protest would prove Ivanović's innocence. Ivanović, for his part, was quoted as saying at this time, "I never carried weapons and never breached the law. But I have no intention of surrender because I don't trust UNMIK's justice." Notwithstanding this comment, Ivanović somewhat unexpectedly turned himself in to UNMIK authorities in October 2002. After initial questioning, his lawyer Toma Fila said that the charges against him had been reduced to inciting riots, and he was released on bail. He was again released following a series of court hearings. The case against Ivanović was recommenced in April 2003 when an international prosecutor indicted him for "participating as a leader of a group that committed a crime and [for] attacking official persons performing duties of security." He issued a plea of not guilty before a three-member international council in September 2003, reiterating his contention that the charges were politically motivated. The following month, the court issued a guilty verdict and sentenced him to three months in prison. (This decision would presumably have been appealed. Online sources to not clarify if the conviction was upheld or if Ivanović actually served the sentence.) During this period, Ivanović and his leading political ally Marko Jakšić were also placed on an official blacklist by the United States of America. Electoral politics The Serb community generally participated in the 2002 local elections in northern Kosovo, except in Kosovska Mitrovica. The SNV contested these elections as a political party; Ivanović led its electoral list in Zvečan, where it won a narrow plurality victory with six out of seventeen mandates. Dragiša Milović of the second-place DSS was subsequently chosen by the assembly as mayor, with Ivanović in the role of deputy mayor. The SNV did not participate as a party in the 2003 Serbian parliamentary election, and Ivanović clarified that it would not endorse any other party or coalition. Since 2004 Ivanović was again identified as the director of northern Kosovska Mitrovica's hospital in early 2004. He strongly condemned the 2004 unrest in Kosovo, which largely targeted the Serb community. At a rally to protest the murder of seventeen-year-old Dimitrije Popović, Ivanović was quoted as saying, "Kosovo is becoming a concentration camp for Serb children and at the same time the chief prosecutor of the Hague tribunal, Carla Del Ponte, has not indicted a single criminal responsible for the suffering of Serb children, thus opening the door wide for them to act with impunity." He later accused UNMIK of discriminating against the Romani people of Kosovo, on the grounds that "they share Serbs' fate and see Serbia as their homeland." He was a leading proponent of the Serb community's boycott of the 2004 Kosovo assembly election. In February 2005, he was appointed as a member of the Serbian government's newly formed Council for Kosovo-Metohija. The following year, he welcomed the approval of Serbia's new constitution, which recognized Kosovo and Metohija as an integral part of the country with significant autonomy. In the 2007 Serbian parliamentary election, he urged voters to support the "national option" by choosing either the DSS, the SPS, or the Serbian Radical Party (Srpska radikalna stranka, SRS). Like most Kosovo Serb politicians, Ivanović rejected the Ahtisaari Plan, arguing that it would result in an independent Kosovo with Serb community as a threatened minority. He was a leading proponent of a Serb boycott of the 2007 Kosovo assembly election, which he (correctly) said would lead to the election of a parliament that would declare the independence of Kosovo from Serbia. He urged Kosovo Serb voters to | iteration of the Community of Serb Municipalities. 2002 charges An arrest warrant was issued for Ivanović on charges of attempted murder in August 2002.

He was a leading proponent of a Serb boycott of the 2007 Kosovo assembly election, which he (correctly) said would lead to the election of a parliament that would declare the independence of Kosovo from Serbia. He urged Kosovo Serb voters to support SRS candidate Tomislav Nikolić in the run-off of the 2008 Serbian presidential election. Nikolić was narrowly defeated by incumbent candidate Boris Tadić of the Democratic Party (Demokratska stranka, DS). Tadić signed a Stabilization and Association Agreement with the European Union shortly after the election, a decision which Ivanović described as a "classic betrayal of Kosovo and Metohija." Following Kosovo's unilateral declaration of independence in 2008, Ivanović said that members of a European Union delegation assisting in Kosovo's transition should be considered "an occupying mission that should be boycotted, including a refusal to sell them food and coffee in restaurants." The 2008 Serbian parliamentary election did not produce a clear winner; following the vote, Ivanović said that the new government should be formed by the "national forces" of the DSS, SRS, SPS, and New Serbia (Nova Srbija, NS). Discussions for a government composed of these parties were ultimately unsuccessful, and the SPS instead for a coalition with For a European Serbia alliance led by the DS. The SNV fielded candidates in two municipalities (Leposavić and Zvečan) in the Serbian government's concurrent 2008 local elections in Kosovo; the party won four seats in Zvečan, and Ivanović was chosen for another term as the municipality's deputy mayor. He also led the organization of a largely ceremonial assembly of delegates from Kosovo's predominantly Serb municipalities. In June 2009, Kosovo Police initiated charges against Ivanović and Marko Jakšić for allegedly inciting a crowd of protesters to set fire to EULEX administrative crossings between Kosovo and Central Serbia. Ivanović and Jakšić described the accusations as unfounded. EULEX announced a year later that various charges against Ivanović had been rejected, and Ivanović again said that he had been targeted for political reasons. It was reported in July 2009 that the Serbian government led by the DS had removed both Ivanović and Jakšić from management positions at Kosovska Mitrovica's hospital. North Kosovo Crisis, Brussels Agreement, and after In 2011, Kosovo Police crossed into the predominantly Serb municipalities of northern Kosovo, without consulting either Serbia or Kosovo Force (KFOR)/EULEX, in an attempt to assert control over several administrative border crossings with Central Serbia. This action precipitated what became known as the North Kosovo crisis, in which members of northern Kosovo's Serb community restricted highway traffic with blockades and roadblocks. Ivanović became a leader of the protests, saying in October 2011 that Serbs would continue to patrol the roadblocks despite the cold weather to prevent their removal by NATO forces. He later supported the 2012 North Kosovo referendum (which was not recognized by the Serbian government), in which 99.74% of voters rejected participation in the institutions of the Republic of Kosovo. Ivanović was an opponent of the 2013 Brussels Agreement, which normalized aspects of the relationship between Belgrade and Priština without addressing the status of Kosovo; he described the agreement as "unacceptable" and a threat to the vital interests of Serbs. The municipalities of Zubin Potok and Zvečan held local elections in 2012 that were sanctioned neither by Belgrade nor Priština. The SNV participated in the Zvečan vote and won three out of twenty-seven seats. Ivanović later served as a representative from Zvečan in the (again largely ceremonial) Provisional Assembly of the Autonomous Province of Kosovo and Metohija, which was established on 4 July 2013 with little notice from the media. Ivanović has continued to oppose engagement with the Priština authorities since the signing |

King was a dedicated student, having tried to branch out into as many music-related fields as possible, including (unsuccessfully) learning flute during his stay in the Royal Academy and trying to learn violin under and Henry Schradieck, however King would frequently spend ten hours a day on musical studies which only progressed slowly, and he eventually decided to make a career out of composing and playing piano. However, the conservatory choir was in an unfavourable position, Carl Reinecke disapproved the state of which the choir was under Charles John Vincent (father of George Frederick Vincent), and Reinecke and a couple members of the choir supported King as the trainer and teacher for choir, to which he accepted. In 1877, Oliver King wrote a piano concerto (dedicated to his teacher Carl Reinecke) in which King premiered as both a conductor and composer, this was to be his last major moment in Leipzig as he moved back to London that same year. Career Upon Oliver King's return to London in 1877, he faced a question of whether to teach music or compose and become a pianist, his friends were supportive of teaching as it was a more stable job, however King decided to take a career path in composing, being a pianist and even conducting. He joined the London Musical Society as a pianist, and became a frequent conductor of the Isleworth Choral Society and Royal Albert Hall Choral Society. In fact, in 1873, King premiered as a pianist playing a piano concerto composed by Carl von Weber. In 1879, Oliver King was appointed as the pianist to Princess Louise for her trip to Ottawa, Canada, and he travelled to Canada on December 22nd. Travelling in Canada and America King took up a residence in a hotel near Rideau Hall, here King would frequently work on many pieces for the piano and also for orchestra, including his Symphony in F major "Night" which was composed (or at least completed) in 1880. King would practice piano (A Kirkman) which was nearby the room where Princess Louise stayed in, Louise would often compliment and be impressed by King's play, and they would often play together, along with Montreal violinist Russell Stephenson. The trio's performances were a highlight of culture in Ottawa, and particularly of Rideau Street. Besides his work with Princess Louise in Ottawa, King would frequently tour across Quebec and other parts of Ontario, he accompanied Lord Archibald Campbell (1846-1913) during the latter's visit to Quebec in 1880. Also around this time, King saw the premiere of his Night Symphony in Boston, to which he dedicated to Princess Louise. Besides playing with royalty, King frequently performed in Ottawa in public, these concerts were originally mildly successful, however over time King's popularity grew, and so did the success of these concerts. These concerts brought newer styles of music from Europe, particularly from Germany and England. However, in December 1881, Oliver King moved to New York City for composition and performing. These compositions were usually church music, he wrote many anthems such as The star that now is shining, Sing a song of praise. From these compositions, he most likely may have not made a lot of money off these compositions, as they would be sold for ~12 cents each ($3.68 in 2022 USD), however he was popular in America as he toured frequently, and was the organist of the Church of the Holy Innocents in New York. The piano piece Gavotte was a popular hit in America, and 2 pieces which were composed in Ottawa, Curfew and Slumber Song, were still popular in the states. Return to London In 1883, Oliver King moved back to London. In early 1882, he already made his plan to go back to England, he received letters from Joseph Barnby about assistance as an organist in the St. Anne's Church in Soho. However, King went on to become the organist and musical director of the Marylebone Church from 1883 to 1886, he gave numerous concerts at the church and outside the church. For example, he gave performances of Bach and other choral and religious works, but gave a England-premiere performance of his piano concerto on 7 November 1885 under the conductorship of in a newly built concertroom in St James's Hall, this performance was part of an event held by John Brinsmead, a London-based piano maker, and by the end of the event a prize was given by Brinsmead and William George Cusins to King for his piano concerto. Also during this time period, King became the organist of the Novello Oratario Concerts, where he would play many works and compose many works under Novello, Ewer and Co. music publishers. In 1883, the London Philharmonic Society created a composition competition where the winner would receive 10 pounds (~£1,300 in 2022 GBP), here King wrote his most significant piece, an Ouverture titled "Among the Pines", this work was in competition with 46 other ouvertures including those composed by Michael Costa, and Julius Benedict. The ouverture was performed under the baton of William George Cusins, with great success, winning first place. The Musical Times in 1883 commented about the Ouverture, saying the Allegro's "Themes are so good, and their orchestral treatment so attractive, that we can hear them again with pleasure, and still have the zest for their recapitulation in the second part." In 1886, King resigned his position in the Marylebone church, during this time he toured around Britain, Ireland and Holland as pianist, however he also composed heavily, during the time between 1886 and 1893 he wrote 4 significant works: Psalm 137, by the Waters of Babylon (1888) a choral work which premiered in the Chester Music Festival, and received numerous more performances during the 1890s; a violin concerto in G-minor (1887), and another concert-ouverture in the key of D minor (1888), and the 4th significant work is a part-song called Soldier rest, thy warfare o'er (1893), this work was very popular in his day and was based on already existing text. In 1893, Oliver King became a professor of piano in the Royal Academy of Music, and King most likely took on a life with less public performances, he still continued composing, writing three cantatas from 1893 to 1897, the first called Propserpina (Before 1895?) is written for a chorus of female voices, and soloist and for orchestra, the second Romance of the Roses (1895) has lyrics written by Ellis Walton, a British composer and lyricist, the 3rd cantata was The Sands o' (of) Dee written in 1897-98 with words based on text by Charles Kingsley. 1900-Death After 1900 there is very little recorded activity, it is known he still composed, however often re-published previous works, newer significant works were The Three Fishers (1908), the Carol-anthem In A Stable Lowly (1913) and Ye Shall Go Out with Joy (1913), which was mentioned in the Press after publication and | advised him move to Leipzig, singing and studying choir in the Thomasschule zu Leipzig under Ernst Richter and studying in the Leipzig Conservatory for piano and composition under Carl Reinecke, Salomon Jadassohn and Oscar Paul.

The second chapter focuses on creating an appropriate model for concurrent systems, where multiple parts of an algorithm (set of instructions) can be carried out simultaneously by different machines or parts of a machine. Chapters 3 explores types of rules that a transition system may satisfy: linear time properties. A safety property, such as "no deadlock states are possible", is of the form "an undesirable outcome can never occur". A liveness property, such as "a shared resource will always eventually be made available to a component that requests it", is of the form "a desirable outcome will eventually happen". Fairness properties such as "a traffic light never stops changing colour" can be used as preconditions i.e. assumptions from which other properties can be deduced. The fourth chapter is about regular and ω-regular language properties, and theoretical machines such as Büchi automata that model the languages. It gives model checking algorithms to verify properties or find counterexamples. The fifth and sixth chapters explore linear temporal logic (LTL) and computation tree logic (CTL), two classes of formula that express properties. LTL encodes requirements about paths through a system, such as "every Monopoly player passes 'Go' infinitely often"; CTL encodes requirements about states in a system, such as "from any position, all players can eventually land on 'Go'". CTL* formulae, which combine the two grammars, are also defined. Algorithms for model checking formulae in these logics are given. The seventh chapter explores formal ways to compare transition systems, such as bisimulation; the eighth is about partial order reductions that aim to reduce the computation required to verify properties of a model.

It is said to have stood as a ruin for centuries until 1784 when it finally was torn down. Around the year 1300, a new church was built at Molstad, about north of the old Dyste church. This new church was located on a plot of land about west of the present Kolbu Church. This building was a small long church and it was an annex chapel to the nearby Hoff Church. Both the Dyste Church and the Molstad Church were used at the same time for about 200 years. In the early 1500s, the Dyste Church was closed and consolidated with the nearby Molstad Church. At the Norwegian church auction, Molstad Church was bought by Bishop Bartholomæus Deichman, who asked for four years to carry out necessary repairs. At a meeting in 1726, it was determined that the church was difficult to repair and that it was too small. Planning for a new church building began around that time.

enough provisions to feed its garrison, let alone his 6,000 troops. Fall rains made it nearly impossible for wagons to reach Cumberland Gap from Camp Nelson. Willcox dispersed his infantry in order for the soldiers to forage for food and posted most of his cavalry near Tazewell to observe Longstreet. Willcox's cavalry recaptured a herd of hogs near Jacksboro and even foraged in Lee County, Virginia. Meanwhile, hundreds of pro-Union refugees fled the Knoxville area, heading for Kentucky by way of Cumberland Gap. At this time, Major General Ulysses S. Grant planned to attack Bragg's Confederate army near Chattanooga, but he experienced delays. Grant criticized Willcox for retreating to Cumberland Gap, not realizing that Willcox followed direct orders from Burnside. Willcox was under pressure from Grant to march to the relief of Knoxville, yet no one issued explicit orders to do so. Burnside sent a message through the siege lines asking that cavalry be sent south of the Clinch River. Hearing by telegraph from Grant that the Battle of Missionary Ridge had commenced, Willcox passed this information through the siege lines to Burnside via secret messenger. Knowing that Grant's forces were finally in motion, Willcox determined to carry out Burnside's instructions. At about this time, 250 soldiers from the 16th Illinois Cavalry Regiment led by Major Beeres rode northeast from Cumberland Gap and surprised Colonel Campbell Slemp's 64th Virginia Mounted Infantry Regiment at Jonesville, Virginia. Beeres claimed that the Confederates lost 20 killed and 26 captured and were routed. Battle Burnside had requested to be relieved of command, but his replacement, Major General John G. Foster did not reach Cumberland Gap until November 30. Meanwhile, Willcox assigned Garrard's brigade to hold Bean's Station and sent Graham's brigade to Tazewell on November 27. Following the Straight Creek Road, Graham crossed the Clinch River at Walker's Ford and reached Maynardville on November 29. The next day, Graham advanced farther south but pulled back to Maynardville. That day, "Grumble" Jones' Confederate brigade skirmished with Graham's troopers near Maynardville. When Foster arrived to take command, he approved Willcox's strategy. Longstreet responded to Graham's incursion by ordering Brigadier General Frank Crawford Armstrong's division to oppose it. Armstrong withdrew his two brigades under Colonels George Gibbs Dibrell and Thomas Harrison from Cherokee Heights on the south side of Knoxville on November 30 and crossed to the north bank. By the evening of December 1, Armstrong's troops joined Jones near Maynardville. Martin was in overall command of the three Confederate cavalry brigades. Graham's brigade consisted of 57 officers and 1,031 enlisted men, for a total strength of 1,088. Attached artillery included 4 guns of Colvin's Illinois Battery and 2 rifled guns belonging to the 5th Indiana Cavalry Regiment. Leaving Cumberland Gap with a minimum garrison and with Foster's approval, Willcox started south toward Tazewell with the infantry on December 1. Graham sensed that the Confederate forces facing him had increased, so he abandoned Maynardville at midnight. Leaving Company M, 5th Indiana Cavalry in Maynardville as a picket, Graham's brigade marched northeast and stopped at 5 am on December 2 at Brock's House, about south of Walker's Ford. This place was in a wide gap in Lone Mountain, which runs southwest to northeast, like the other ridges in the area. Hind's Ridge was south of Brock's House. Willcox arrived at Tazewell with the infantry late on December 1 to receive Graham's latest situation report. Martin tried to cut off Graham's brigade at Maynardville using Armstrong's two brigades, but found that the Union cavalry were largely gone. Jones' brigade stormed into the town from the southwest, capturing some of Company M and routing the others. Dibrell mounted a swift pursuit with the | John Stuart Williams to threaten the eastern part of the Union area of control. Burnside rapidly moved the IX Corps troops to defeat Williams at the Battle of Blue Springs on October 10 and chased the Confederates back to Virginia. On October 20, two Confederate cavalry brigades mauled Colonel Frank Wolford's Federal cavalry brigade at the Battle of Philadelphia. In consequence, Burnside abandoned Loudon and withdrew to the north bank of the Tennessee River while still holding Kingston. A cavalry force led by Brigadier General William E. "Grumble" Jones surprised and routed a Union cavalry brigade at the Battle of Rogersville on November 6, inflicting 655 casualties, mostly captured. Siege of Knoxville At the end of October 1863, Bragg decided to send Lieutenant General James Longstreet and two divisions to recapture Knoxville. Bragg was upset with Longstreet's bungled attempt to cut the Army of the Cumberland's newly established Cracker Line at the Battle of Wauhatchie on October 28. In addition, Bragg saw this as an opportunity to remove Longstreet from his army, since the two men disliked each other. Longstreet's two divisions under Major General Lafayette McLaws and Brigadier General Micah Jenkins and two artillery battalions began pulling out of Bragg's lines on November 4. Since Bragg ordered Major General Joseph Wheeler's cavalry to cooperate in the operation, Longstreet commanded 10,000 infantry, 5,000 cavalry, and 35 guns. On November 14, Longstreet's troops crossed to the north bank of the Tennessee River near Loudon. In the Battle of Campbell's Station on November 16, Longstreet attempt to stop Burnside's withdrawal to Knoxville was unsuccessful. At the same time, Wheeler tried to overrun Knoxville's defenses on the south bank, but ultimately failed. Longstreet imposed a semi-siege on Burnside's troops at Knoxville. The city was not besieged in the normal sense because Burnside's men were able to move supplies into the city via the south bank. On November 14, Burnside telegraphed Willcox to continue holding Bull's Gap and Greeneville, but to withdraw to Cumberland Gap if necessary. At the same time, Willcox was ordered to send Hoskins' brigade to Knoxville. This left Willcox with the four Indiana infantry regiments, three batteries, the 32nd Kentucky Infantry Regiment, the 11th Michigan Battery, a small North Carolina unit, and two battalions of East Tennessee recruits. In addition, Willcox directed a Union cavalry division under Colonel John W. Foster consisting of two cavalry brigades led by Colonels Israel Garrard and Felix W. Graham. Burnside sent a final order to Willcox before the telegraph line was cut; Willcox was to retreat to Cumberland Gap to protect the Union line of communications between there and Camp Nelson in Kentucky. By November 19, Willcox pulled his units back as far as Bean's Station. The next day, Willcox reached Cumberland Gap where he found scarcely enough provisions to feed its garrison, let alone his 6,000 troops. Fall rains made it nearly impossible for wagons to reach Cumberland Gap from Camp Nelson.

commission for selecting and appraising school lands in 1858. The appointment was met with widespread condemnation from Republican newspapers in the state. It was alleged that the appointment was secured by state senator Luther Hanchett, and that Bugh used his time in office working instead to secure Hanchett the Republican nomination for United States House of Representatives in 1858. A year later, the Bugh appointment still ranked as a strike against Randall as he sought renomination from the Republican State Convention. Split with Democrats Before the Civil War, Bugh was a frequent attendee at Democratic county, district, and state conventions. He was active in several campaigns, and was frequently accused of soliciting offices and "political prostitution". A notable change began with an incident at the 1859 Democratic State Convention, when Bugh introduced a tongue-in-cheek resolution cheering President James Buchanan for his actions which he suggested would ultimately secure the admission of Kansas into the United States as a free state. Buchanan had, in fact, been working for two years to admit Kansas as a slave state, but his efforts had created a schism in the Democratic Party that would bring about the election of a Republican administration. Bugh then went on to excoriate the Buchanan appointees in Wisconsin for their hypocrisy in voting | 1847, Lafayette County was created from this part of Iowa County, and Bugh was elected the first register of deeds for the new county. Instead of running for re-election in 1848, he ran for and was elected to the new office of circuit court clerk for Lafayette County. He stopped practicing medicine around this time. In 1850, Bugh was elected to the Wisconsin State Senate from the 7th Senate district, running on the Democratic Party ticket. He represented Lafayette County in the Senate during the 1851 and 1852 sessions of the Legislature. In 1853, he became a partner in the production of the Pick and Gad, one of the first newspapers printed in Shullsburg, Wisconsin. He published the paper for three years in partnership with the paper's founder, Walter Nimocks, and was editor for the paper in 1853 and most of 1854. At the start of the 1854 session of the Legislature, he was elected chief clerk of the State Senate. He served in the same role in the 1855 session. Corruption accusations He was appointed to a commission for the construction of the first Wisconsin Asylum for the Insane in April 1854, by Governor William A. Barstow. This project created significant controversy over the contract bidding process. Bugh was later seen as someone who helped expose the corruption, while also having participated in it. A legislative committee investigated the process, but no criminal charges resulted. Bugh's reputation |
by the Dutch painter Hendrick Goltzius was also in his collection. The Great Depression brought financial difficulties. Adelsberger borrowed 600,000 Reichsmarks as early as 1927/28 putting up real estate and several artworks as collateral. Nazi persecution When the Nazis came to power in Germany in 1933, Adelsbeger and his family were persecuted due to their Jewish heritage. His son Paul emigrated to America in 1934. His daughter Sofie fled to Amsterdam with her husband, Adelsberger and his wife remained in Nuremberg. In 1937, Adelsberger had to sell his house and other real estate; his toy factory was Aryanized. In 1939 they fled to Amsterdam to join their daughter. Adelsberger carried a few works of art with him when he fled, including the painting by Goltzius. In August 1940, Abraham Adelsberger died in Amsterdam. In 1941, Hermann Göring took possession of the painting through a forced sale in order to decorate his country estate Carinhall with it. Adelsberger's wife was deported to the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in 1943. She survived the Holocaust and applied for reparations after the Second World War, in which her husband's art collection played only a minor role.

two consuls, was killed in the fighting. At dawn the Milanese, after fortifying the positions gained the previous day, advanced as far as Rebbio, cutting off the Como army from any reinforcements coming from the city. The people of Como, to try to open up an escape route, attacked the Milanese on the flanks. In the clash a priest, son of Ardizzone da Samarate and Girolamo, the standard bearer of the Como family, fell after having fought valiantly. While part of the Milanese army kept the enemy engaged, the rest followed the course of the Aperto river in the Val Mulini, and after having crossed the Cosia they headed towards the southern walls of Como. Here the Milanese managed to surprise the guards guarding the gate and entered the city, where they massacred the few defenders and citizens, freed Landolfo da Carcano and set fire to the buildings. The Como army, entrenched on the slopes of the Baradello, saw the columns of smoke rising from the city and headed towards the Val Mulini, crossing the woods that covered the slopes of the hill. Passing through Borgo Vico, they entered the city, surprising the enemies intent on looting. The assault put the Milanese to flight, some of whom remained behind to cover the retreat to their comrades and were largely killed or taken prisoner. In the clash, the Milanese lost over a thousand men. Bishop Grimoldi distinguished himself as the main political and military leader of the Comaschi, able to "animate and support the courage of his men" and when he blessed the ships that took part in lake battles, "he sent them almost to a certain victory". 1119 siege of Como The defeat suffered was not enough to make the Milanese desist from their intentions. A new general council was convened in the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore where the citizens and nobles decided to renew hostilities, vowing to undertake to destroy the villages of Vico and Coloniola, located respectively to the west and north of the walled city in Como. Among the main proponents of the new oath was Arduino (sometimes called Arialdo or Arderico) degli Avogadri, a member of the Como diocese. It was perhaps thanks to his diplomatic work that Milan secured the support of the parish churches of Bellagio, Menaggio, Gravedona and Nesso and above all of the parish church of Isola, which included the strategic and fortified Isola Comacina, which has always been a thorn in the side of the Comaschi over the control of Lake Como. Bishop Guido Grimoldi sent embassies to the Milanese people, with the aim of making them desist from the war or, at least, to refrain from the oath to continue it until the complete destruction of Como, but without success. In April 1119 the islanders of Isola Comacina sailed with seven ships and landed an army in Laglio, from where the soldiers headed towards Cernobbio along wooded paths until they took up position north of the village, near the mouth of the Garovo stream. The Cernobbio garrison, warned by some local peasant or by the tower located on the Colma della Guardia, became aware of the presence of the enemy and sent messengers to ask reinforcements in Como, which sent a substantial number of knights to attempt an ambush. The cavalry took up position among the trees of the marshes near the mouth of the Breggia. In the meantime, the islanders aboard the seven ships disembarked more men, leaving only the crews aboard the ships; the soldiers went in search of their companions in the bush, believing they would find them looting. Some scouts then warned them of the presence of the enemy, but a part of them still wanted to continue and seek battle. As soon as they reunited with their companions, they were attacked by the Comaschi, who routed them, forcing them to flee in a rush towards the ships. When they reached the shores of the lake, they saw that their ships had moved away from the shore but, being afraid of being pursued by the enemy, they tried to reach them anyway, resulting in many drowning due to their armors weighing them down. When the news of the defeat of their allies arrived, the Milanese decided to strengthen their party by forging new alliances. Milan, which through the peace of 1112 had secured an alliance with Pavia and Cremona, made further agreements with Crema, Monza, Bergamo, Brescia, Novara, Asti, Vercelli, Verona, Parma, Bologna, Guastalla, the cities of Liguria and the countryside of Biandrate. The Milanese, having obtained the reinforcements of the allied cities, returned with a sizeable army to Como and besieged the city together with the two fortified villages, supported by a naval blockade and by the raids of the islanders. Guido Grimoldi, however, once again proved to be a skilled general and managed to defend both settlements, exploiting in particular the two towers of Vico. During one of the numerous cavalry sorties of the Comaschi there was a duel between the Milanese Alberto de' Giudici and the Comasco Araldo (or Arnaldo) Caligno, in which the latter was killed. After a few days of siege, as there was no progress, the Milanese abandoned their operations. A truce was established between Como and Milan until August of the following year, the former thus had time to improve the fortifications at the gates, build shelters on the city walls, as well as swell their ranks and prepare twelve ships. Naval battles of Tremezzo and Cavagnola In 1120 the Comaschi armed the flotilla and attacked Tremezzo, managing to take the village by surprise, sacking it and taking many prisoners. On the way back, however, the twelve ships of the islanders blocked their way, positioning themselves between the tip of Balbiano and Casate. The result was a battle in which the Comaschi managed to sink a large galley and captured two enemy ships, plus another one that had been sent to help the Terrazzani from Bellagio, forcing the islanders to retreat, while losing one ship in their side. Three days later Lezzeno was sacked. Encouraged by these victories, the Comaschi then decided to attack the Isola Comacina Island. Their ships managed to get close to the walls of the island, but as soon as they were within range they were targeted by stones and flaming arrows. Despite this, the Comaschi managed to land and destroy some ships moored to the walls, while others were dragged offshore and captured or sunk. It was not long before the villages of Campo, Sala and Colonno were attacked and burned. Here the Comaschi were initially repelled by the local soldiers, but in the end, thanks to their numerical superiority, they managed to surround them, forcing them to flee by swimming towards the Isola Comacina. Bellagio was then attacked, with the defenders being forced to take refuge in the castle. In September the Comaschi launched a night attack on the Torre della Cappella, located in a strategic position on the rocky promontory of Cavagnola, near Lezzeno. After reaching the tower, they climbed the walls of the fort with ladders and took the garrison by surprise, putting it to the sword. The islanders, however, were warned and sent some ships to rescue. The Comaschi then sent two ships to meet them with the order to pretend to accept battle and then retreat towards the Cavagnola, where they would be attacked by the bulk of the fleet. The islanders fell into the trap and passed the promontory, after which they were targeted by arrows, stones and burning pitch from the enemy ships, defending themselves until they had to retreat due to the risk of being surrounded. The Comaschi had in fact placed the ships in such a way as to prevent them from returning to the port of Isola. The island ships then set course for Varenna, the only escape route left, pursued by the enemy. Here they asked for help from the locals who, in parts gathered on the shore and in part remaining in defense of the mountain, gave support to the islanders by hitting the Comaschi with a hail of stones. An island ship took advantage of the confusion to try to return to the port of Isola but was chased by the large twin galleys Cristina and Alberga which reached it, forcing it to return to Varenna. The Comaschi then tried to land, but were repulsed by a deluge of stones thrown by their adversaries. After having set fire to the ships moored near the village, they attempted a new assault, after which the islanders retreated to Castle Vezio; at that point, judging the castle impregnable with the means available, they decided to return to Como after having plundered the village. They then attacked Lierna, whose inhabitants took refuge in the mountains and the defenders in the castle of the village. The Comaschi managed to capture it by setting fire to the top of the tower, on which some shrubs grew, thus causing the roof to collapse. The islanders then warned the Milanese of the defeats suffered, and the latter sent them substantial reinfoircements. Embarking on the ships at night, they rowed silently to Como and attacked the enemy ships anchored in the port, sinking a large number of them. The Comaschi were confronted with the fait accompli and only managed to save some ships which they were later able to repair. A few days later the Milanese and the islanders attempted a new naval assault on the city. The Comaschi arranged the army on the shore of the lake and strenuously opposed the landing of the enemies, but visdomino Beltrando, a noble from Como, fell in the clash. In the meantime, some island ships bypassed the city by disembarking the men at the villages of Coloniola and Vico. The Milanese soldiers then attacked the enemy on all sides and although they were unable to enter Como, they sacked, devastated and burned everything around the city, except for the fortified places. On Lake Ceresio the Lugano fleet, allied with Milan, prevailed, also thanks to the betrayal of Arduino, an admiral from Como who defected to the Milanese. In order to recover the fleet that had fallen into enemy hands, Grimoldi organized an expedition by loading two ships, Crastina and Alberga, on oxcarts and having it brought from Lario to Ceresio by land. Then the boats were lauched in the Ceresio, loaded with soldiers, reaching the enemy fleet at anchor and destroyed it at the end of a short and bitter battle. Finally, returning by land to the countryside near Melano, the ships were hidden by covering them with piles of sand. Assault on Varese and the castle of Drezzo In 1121 the Comaschi went overnight to Varese, which had remained loyal to Milan. The city was taken by surprise and sacked, the defenders were killed or taken prisoner and carried off to Como. Encouraged by this success, the next day they attacked the castle of Binago, in the Seprio, whose inhabitants initially tried to defend themselves, managing to kill the Comasco nobleman Arialdo Segalino da Vico, called Pandisegale, but after realizing the enemy forces were overwhelming, they were forced to flee. Binago was sacked and set on fire. Shortly afterwards the inhabitants of the nearby Vedano rushed to support those of Binago, which, however, had already fallen; while discussing on what to do, they were attacked by the enemy cavalry and put to flight. The third expedition was directed against Drezzo. The village was easily captured, having been abandoned by its inhabitants who had taken refuge in the strong castle on Monte Olimpino. The Comaschi, at the suggestion of Pagano Prestinari, shot flaming arrows and managed to set fire to some heaps of straw placed in the castle courtyard. The consequent fire forced the defenders to fight the flames in order not to suffocate, but this allowed the attackers to climb the now unguarded walls and enter the castle. The inhabitants, however, barricaded themselves in one of the two towers and opposed such resistance that they finally forced the people of Como to retreat. During the clashes Giovanni Paliaro (or Paleari), a Milanese who sided with the Comaschi, was killed by a stone thrown from the tower. On the way back to Como, the Comaschi were attacked by the militias of Ronago, who had sided with the defenders of the castle of Drezzo, but despite being taken by surprise, they managed to defeat the attackers, forcing him to retreat first to Ronago, then to Trevano, then to Olgiate and finally to a disorderly rout. Fall of Lavena In 1122, just as the signing of the Concordat of Worms put an end to the conflict between the emperor and the pope, the ten-year war entered a stalemate. The Milanese secured the alliance of Lugano as well as the control of the castle of San Martino, particularly important for its strategic and almost impregnable position, as it was located on a hill; in the meantime they prepared to build some geminae ships (ships consisting of two hulls side by side, joined by a bridge) and longships at Lavena. As their city was scarcely fortified and fearing Como's reprisals, the people of Lugano took refuge in the castle of San Martino. The Comaschi decided to punish the Luganese but after setting off towards the Ceresio, they found the road blocked by the enemy, therefore they decided to occupy the valley of Melano. Here they began to build ships, stretched a chain at the entrance to the port and built wooden bastions on the shore to protect the vessels. After various skirmishes, the two fleets finally confronted each other in the stretch of lake between Bissone and Melide. The battle lasted until sunset and had an its outcome was indecisive; eventually the Milanese ships retreated towards Lavena. In the end, the inhabitants of Lavena asked the Comaschi for help, claiming that they had given themselves to the Milanese to avoid the sacking and destruction of the village. The Comaschi reconciled with them and eventually moved their fleet and army towards that village. For unknown reasons, even before the battle began, some Milanese ships withdrew towards the port of Lavena, abandoning the rest, which were forced to retreat after taking serious casualties. The port, however, was defended by a tower that did not allow ships to approach. The Comaschi then decided to set fire to the port and the ships by shooting arrows and fiery bullets at a distance and then retreated. The Como army in the meantime captured Lavena, but being unable to capture the castle of San Martino, withdrew after taking care to set the village on fire so as not to leave it intact in the hands of the enemy. The Lavenese then returned to ally themselves with the Milanese and carried out raids, throwing stones on the Comaschi wherever they found them. Not long after, the Comaschi, having obtained some reinforcements from their city and neighboring villages, returned to besiege the castle. To overcome their resistance, since a frontal attack was impossible, the captain Giovanni Bono da Vesonzo, a native of Val d'Intelvi, went with some soldiers to the top of a nearby mountain, whose slopes were particularly steep and from which it was possible to dominate San Martino. After reaching the desired place, he had himself put in a large basket carrying a large amount of stones and made himself stick out, with a pole, beyond the peak that overlooked the fortress. Then he began to “bomb” the Luganese soldiers by throwing stones, in an experiment of "aerial warfare", while his companions shot arrows at the defenders. The stones prevented the Luganese from leaning over the towers and walkways of the walls and at the same time caused the roofs to collapse on the defenders. The Comaschi who remained at the foot of the mountain then launched an assault against the castle and the defenders, unable to defend themselves, had to surrender and hand over the fortress to the Comaschi, who showed no mercy to the garrison. The capture of Porlezza and the betrayal of Arduino degli Avogadri The Lavenese and Luganese, the former having lost their homes and possessions, the latter fearing retaliation by the Comaschi, sent messengers to Milan complaining of the destruction of their village which had been caused by the choice to place the Milanese naval base there, and asked for more protection. The general council then decided to accept their requests by moving the base from Lavena to Porlezza, where during the winter months everything necessary to build new galleys was transported; by spring the ships were ready for a new military campaign. When the spring of 1123 came, the Milanese and the militias of their allied lakeside villages set about to besiege the castle of San Michele by land and water near the village of Cima, not far from Porlezza. The siege immediately proved difficult due the castle's good defenses and the lack of siege engines. The situation only worsened the next day, when it started raining heavily, making the Milanese camp a quagmire and swelling the river. Failing to make progress, the Milanese sent for the archbishop Olrico da Corte to induce the defenders to swear allegiance to him. Faced with the request for a surrender and the oath of loyalty to Milan, the Comaschi refused, covering him with insults. The Milanese were therefore forced to lift the siege. The garrison then asked the Comaschi for help, and they gathered reinforcements from the city and Val d'Intelvi with the aim of capturing Porlezza. To this end, towards December they divided the army into two group, one of which, composed of Comaschi, would march to Osteno and then embark and rejoin the defenders of the castle of San Michele, whereas the other, composed of the Intelvi soldiers, would have waited for the first in Melano so that Porlezza could be attacked on two sides at the same time. When the Intelvi troops had already set sail for Porlezza, the ships of the Milanese allies came to meet them from that village. The two flotillas clashed and after a long and uncertain battle the Terrazzani were forced to retreat to the port of Porlezza despite having inflicted heavy losses on the enemy; among the fallen there was the noble Alderamo Quadrio. The intelvani then went with the boats under the village and set fire to two enemy ships while the Como allies managed to capture the village without encountering much resistance. Not long afterwards, Arduino degli Avogadri from Como secretly went to Milan, offering to hand over the castle and the port of Melano in exchange for a large sum of money and protection for himself and his family; the Milanese accepted. Arduino then collected as many ships as possible at the port of Melano and began to make raids along the entire lake of Lugano without being opposed by the Milanese. He then sent envoys to Como announcing his progress and requesting more men for the Melano garrison. However, when the reinforcements arrived on the spot, Arduino had them arrested, undressed and imprisoned in his castle, releasing them only upon payment of a ransom. The people of Como, having discovered his betrayal, dismantled the large ships Cristina and Alberga and transported them on ox-drawn carts to Ripa, where they were reassembled and put into the water. Having taken to Lavena they managed to capture two enemy ships, then they went to the castle of San Martino and besieged it. The castle garrison soon fled to the surrounding mountains. The four ships then set sail for Melano which they easily occupied as Arduino had fled. Assault on Isola Comacina Shortly before Christmas, the Milanese decided to attack the castle of Pontegana, not far from Balerna, whose position allowed control of the road that connected Como to Lugano as well as access to the Valle di Muggio. The fortress was defended by a moat and an embankment on the western side, which sloped gently downstream, while on the eastern side the sheer wall made it inaccessible. Given the difficulty of seizing it with an assault and not wanting to attempt a long siege, the Milanese decided to bribe the castellan, Giselberto (or Gilberto) Clerici, who after being lavishly paid retired to the parish of Arcisate to protect himself from revenge of his compatriots. Having obtained the castle, the Milanese drove out all those who were linked to Giselberto, except the peasants who had to give an oath of loyalty. In those same days the parish of Gravedona decided to abandon its alliance with the parishes of Bellagio, Menaggio, Nesso and Isola and allied itself with Como. To compensate for the loss of Pontegana, the Comaschi decided to launch another naval attack on the Isola Comacina. They landed on the island and after a bitter fight with the islanders near the gates of the walls, they entered the town and sacked it while the defenders | that point, judging the castle impregnable with the means available, they decided to return to Como after having plundered the village.

In those same days the parish of Gravedona decided to abandon its alliance with the parishes of Bellagio, Menaggio, Nesso and Isola and allied itself with Como. To compensate for the loss of Pontegana, the Comaschi decided to launch another naval attack on the Isola Comacina. They landed on the island and after a bitter fight with the islanders near the gates of the walls, they entered the town and sacked it while the defenders were forced to either barricade themselves in the castle or try to escape by swimming towards Sala and Spurano. During the clashes the Comasco leader Oldrado was killed by the spear of Alberto Natale. After having collected a huge booty, the Comaschi dedicated themselves to the destruction of the island, dismantling its fortifications and setting all buildings on fire, so that in the future it would no longer be able to defend itself, except for the castle which they were unable to take. When the news arrived that the terrazzani, despite the bitter defeat of Isola, were again gathering militias against them, the Comaschi decided to prevent them by landing in Campo, destroying the newly built walls and subjecting it to a new looting. Then the Comaschi sent an embassy to the island asking the defenders of the castle to surrender because being unable to receive the help of the Milanese, they had no hope of resisting for a long time having against not only the city of Como but also the Val d'Intelvi, Lugano and the villages of Ceresio as well as Valtellina. The islanders, however, did not want to bow to the dominion of Como. The Comaschi then attacked and captured Mezzegra and Colonno and later Menaggio, where they broke down the castle door with a ram and set it on fire. Operations near Cantù and sieges of Como in 1124 and 1125 In 1124 the comune of Cantù joined the anti-Como coalition. At the beginning of the year the Canturini attacked and sacked the villages of Lipomo, Albate and Trecallo, and the Comaschi were forced to abandon the siege of the castle of Pontegana to go against them. The Canturini, led by Gaffuro, ambushed the enemy by placing themselves in the woods near Trecallo, on the sides of the road that connected Cantù and Albate. In the battle that followed the Comaschi won, Gaffuro was killed and according to the story of Poeta Cumano, "the Acquanegra stream ran red". The Canturini then retreated towards the Sagrada canal, but the Comaschi were quicker and managed to occupy the ford after having dispersed a weak group of defenders who fled towards the Acquanegra marshes. Here the Canturini were again attacked by a group of Comaschi who guarded the place and after returning to the ford they were definitively surrounded and in the ensuing clash they lost sixty men. The victors then headed against Cantù itself but the Canturini made a sortie to avert the siege, inflicting serious losses on the Comaschi. The Canturini then joined forces with the Terrazzani and together sent embassies to ask for Milanese intervention to support them, in light of the recent and heavy defeats. The Milanese gathered their army and reinforced it with men from the allied cities, sending it to Como. After a brief battle at the gates of the city, the Milanese forced the people of Como to entrench themselves behind the walls. In the meantime, the lakeside city was subjected to yet another naval blockade by the Terrazzani. As the situation was now critical, the Comaschi decided to try to break through the blockade in order to reach their allies in Gravedona and Valtellina. They succeeded, and returned after collecting as many ships as possible from the allies. This time, however, facing them near the narrow between the hill of Lavedo and Lezzeno, they found both the ships of the Terrazzani and of Lecco, allies of the Milanese. A naval clash ensued at the end of which the Comaschi again managed to break through the enemy blockade, but the Terrazzani in turn forced the enemy to move towards the Isola Comacina, where the island ships were waiting for him. Despite being surrounded and now trapped, the Comaschi managed once again to defeat the enemy and return to Como after having seriously damaged the two major ships of the adversaries. To try to lift the siege, the Comaschi attempted a sortie against Cantù and Mariano which, however, had a disastrous outcome. Not having obtained any results in the south, the Comaschi decided to attack the Isola Comacina again with the aim of capturing the castle and dismantling it once and for all. To this end, they cut down many of the island's olive and fruit trees and made bundles with the wood obtained, which they leaned against the walls of the fortress and then set fire to it. However, the defenders managed to resist, so the Comaschi began to target the castle with catapults mounted on the wooden platforms of the ships that surrounded the island. After the death of Pagano Beccaria, pierced by an arrow in one eye, realizing that neither the fire nor the catapults had managed to get the better of the castle of the island, the Comaschi finally decided to retire. The Milanese did the same, however, as they were unable to enter Como. The campaign of 1124 ended with the capture of Nesso and its castle by the Comaschi. In 1125 the Milanese, after having prepared thirty galleys in Lecco, returned to besiege Como by land and water. Despite having surrounded the city and the villages of Vico and Coloniola, the Comaschi managed to drive them away from the walls with a sortie. Meanwhile, on the lake, when the Comaschi saw the enemy fleet cross the gap between Careno and Torriggia they arranged themselves in a long line that blocked the gap between Moltrasio and Torno. The two fleets headed against each other but the Ratto, a small and fast ship from Como, preceded all the others and upon reaching the enemy, was soon surrounded and rammed. During the battle, the people of Como managed to capture an island ship on which the hated Arialdo Paradiso and Alberto Natale were taken prisoner. In the afternoon the Lecco fleet, after having lost six ships by boarding and others by sinking, withdrew and set sail for the Isola Comacina. Having learned of the defeat at Torno and having suffered too many losses in the siege, the Milanese retreated once again. After the Milanese retreat, the Comaschi set fire to Vertemate, Guanzate and Cirimido to avenge the death of Beltramo Bracco, who had been mortally wounded in a raid. The small garrison of those villages, led by the nobles Alberto and Manfredo and heavily outnumbered, took refuge in a nearby church but the Comaschi set fire to it, forcing them to leave. On the way back, the Comaschi were surrounded by the Vertematesi but managed to break through the encirclement and disperse them. They then besieged the castle of the village using siege engines and crossbows until they captured it and massacred defenders and civilians alike. Death of Guido Grimoldi and decline of Como's fortunes On 27 August 1125 (according to other sources, on 17 August) Guido Grimoldi died, being buried in the Basilica di Sant'Abbondio. The death of the warrior-bishop turned the fortunes of the war for the worse for the city of Como. In its place the new emperor Henry V of Franconia appointed the prudent Ardizzone I, who unlike his predecessor did not have the qualities of a leader. The first of the misfortunes for the people |
