The municipality became part of the French Département of Mont-Terrible. Three years later, in 1800 it became part of the Département of Haut-Rhin. After Napoleon's defeat and the Congress of Vienna, Saicourt was assigned to the Canton of Bern in 1815.
During the 18th century a number of German speaking Anabaptists settled in the village of Montbautier. The villages of Saicourt and La Fuet were part of the parish of Tavannes-Chaindon until 1928. At that time Le Fuet and Bellelay went to the Tavannes parish while Saicourt became part of the Reconvilier parish. A Swiss Reformed chapel was built in Le Fuet in 1938.

was based on the production of Tête de Moine cheese at the Abbey. Beginning in the 18th century the watchmaking industry and mining silica sand were added. Peat cutting became common in Bellelay and La Bottière. By the early 20th century watchmaking and sand mining both died out, followed by peat producing in 1945.

Just as in every tournament since 1993, Mexico accepted the invitation without reservation. The United States, on the other hand, rejected the invitation due to scheduling conflicts with the 2007 Major League Soccer season.

Reconvilier
Reconvilier is a municipality in the Jura bernois administrative district in the canton of Bern in Switzerland. It is located in the French-speaking Bernese Jura ("Jura Bernois").
# History.
Reconvilier is first mentioned in 884 as "Roconis villare". In German it is known as "Rokwiler".
The oldest trace of a settlement in the area are two ceramic and three bronze bowls which probably come from a Roman villa from the 2nd or 3rd century. In 884, the village appears as an estate belonging to Moutier-Grandval Abbey. The noble Reconvilier family appears in historical records beginning in the 12th century and lasting until the 15th. The village remained under the Abbey's control until | 6,137,325 |
2569242 | Reconvilier | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Reconvilier | Reconvilier
it was secularized around 1531. Then Reconvilier came under the authority of the provost of Moutier-Grandval who represented the Prince-Bishop of Basel. After the 1797 French victory and the Treaty of Campo Formio, Reconvilier became part of the French Département of Mont-Terrible. Three years later, in 1800 it became part of the Département of Haut-Rhin. After Napoleon's defeat and the Congress of Vienna, Reconvilier was assigned to the Canton of Bern in 1815.
The Chapel of Saint-Léonard in Chaindon is first mentioned in 962. However, both Reconvilier and Chaindon were part of the parish of Tavannes for most of their history. In 1530, the entire Tavannes parish, including Reconvilier converted | 6,137,326 |
2569242 | Reconvilier | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Reconvilier | Reconvilier
to the new faith of the Protestant Reformation. It separated from the parish to form an independent parish in 1908. The current parish church was built as a village church in 1740. It was renovated in 1924-26 and again in 1992.
Industry began to move into the village in the second half of the 19th century. In 1851 the watch parts factory Bueche, Boillat et Cie opened. In 1876 a station on the Basel-Biel railroad opened in Reconvilier. The convenient transportation link allowed the village to expand into an important watchmaking center. The Bueche, Boillat et Cie company changed their name to Générale Watch Co in 1895 and until 1975 it sold Helvetia brand watches. In 1853, the Société horlogère | 6,137,327 |
2569242 | Reconvilier | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Reconvilier | Reconvilier
was created. It sold watches under the Reconvilier Watch Company name until 1970. Both factories closed during the Quartz crisis of the 1970s, though the Reconvilier Watch Company name was reincorporated in Zug in 2006. The company now, operates under the name of Société Horlogère Reconvilier AG and besides producing a classic watch line, they have now moved into the business of supplying high-tech, GPS-based watches, which feature distance measurement for golf players. In 1855, Bueche, Boillat et Cie built a foundry to supply metal to the company. After passing through several different owners, it became part of Swissmetal in 1989. Today the manufacturing sector still provides over half of | 6,137,328 |

First Portuguese Republic
The First Portuguese Republic (; officially: "República Portuguesa", Portuguese Republic) spans a complex 16-year period in the history of Portugal, between the end of the period of constitutional monarchy marked by the 5 October 1910 revolution and the 28 May 1926 "coup d'état". The latter movement instituted a military dictatorship known as "Ditadura Nacional" (national dictatorship) that would be followed by the corporatist "Estado Novo" (new state) regime of António de Oliveira Salazar.
The sixteen years of the First Republic saw nine presidents and 44 ministries, and have been described as consisting of "continual anarchy, government corruption, rioting and pillage, | 6,137,341 |
2569245 | First Portuguese Republic | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=First%20Portuguese%20Republic | First Portuguese Republic
assassinations, arbitrary imprisonment and religious persecution".
# The republic.
As far as the October 1910 Revolution is concerned, a number of valuable studies have been made, first among which ranks Vasco Pulido Valente’s polemical thesis. This historian posited the Jacobin and urban nature of the revolution carried out by the Portuguese Republican Party (PRP) and claimed that the PRP had turned the republican regime into a de facto dictatorship. This vision clashes with an older interpretation of the First Republic as a progressive and increasingly democratic regime which presented a clear contrast to Salazar’s ensuing dictatorship.
A republican Constitution was approved in 1911, inaugurating | 6,137,342 |
2569245 | First Portuguese Republic | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=First%20Portuguese%20Republic | First Portuguese Republic
a parliamentary regime with reduced presidential powers and two chambers of parliament. The constitution generally accorded full civil liberties, the religious liberties of Catholics being an exception.
## Religion.
The First Republic was intensely anti-clerical. The leaders of the Republic were secularists and, indeed, were following liberal tradition of disestablishing the powerful role the Catholic Church once held. Historian Stanley Payne points out, "The majority of Republicans took the position that Catholicism was the number one enemy of individualist middle-class radicalism and must be completely broken as a source of influence in Portugal." Under the leadership of Afonso Costa, the | 6,137,343 |
2569245 | First Portuguese Republic | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=First%20Portuguese%20Republic | First Portuguese Republic
justice minister, the revolution immediately targeted the Catholic Church: churches were plundered, convents were attacked and clergy were harassed. Scarcely had the provisional government been installed when it began devoting its entire attention to an anti-religious policy, in spite of the disastrous economic situation. On 10 October – five days after the inauguration of the Republic – the new government decreed that all convents, monasteries and religious orders were to be suppressed. All residents of religious institutions were expelled and their goods confiscated. The Jesuits were forced to forfeit their Portuguese citizenship. A series of anti-Catholic laws and decrees followed each other | 6,137,344 |
2569245 | First Portuguese Republic | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=First%20Portuguese%20Republic | First Portuguese Republic
in rapid succession. On 3 November, a law legalizing divorce was passed and then there were laws to recognize the legitimacy of children born outside wedlock, authorize cremation, secularize cemeteries, suppress religious teaching in the schools and prohibit the wearing of the cassock. In addition, the ringing of church bells to signal times of worship was subjected to certain restraints, and the public celebration of religious feasts was suppressed. The government also interfered in the running of seminaries, reserving the right to appoint professors and determine curricula. This whole series of laws authored by Afonso Costa culminated in the law of Separation of Church and State, which was | 6,137,345 |
2569245 | First Portuguese Republic | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=First%20Portuguese%20Republic | First Portuguese Republic
passed on 20 April 1911.
The republicans were anticlerical and had a "hostile" approach to the issue of church and state separation, like that of the French Revolution, and the future Mexican Constitution of 1917 and Spanish Constitution of 1931. On 24 May 1911, Pope Pius X issued the encyclical "Iamdudum" which condemned the anticlericalism of the new republic for its deprivation of religious civil liberties and the "incredible series of excesses and crimes which has been enacted in Portugal for the oppression of the Church."
## Political parties.
The PRP had to endure the secession of its more moderate elements, who formed conservative republican parties such as the Evolutionist Party and | 6,137,346 |
2569245 | First Portuguese Republic | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=First%20Portuguese%20Republic | First Portuguese Republic
the Republican Union. In spite of these splits the PRP, led by Afonso Costa, preserved its dominance, largely due to a brand of clientelist politics inherited from the monarchy. In view of these tactics, a number of opposition forces resorted to violence in order to enjoy the fruits of power. There are few recent studies of this period of the Republic's existence, known as the ‘old’ Republic. Nevertheless, an essay by Vasco Pulido Valente should be consulted, as should the attempt to establish the political, social, and economic context made by M. Villaverde Cabral (1988).
The Republic repelled a royalist attack on Chaves in 1912.
The PRP viewed the outbreak of the First World War as a unique | 6,137,347 |
2569245 | First Portuguese Republic | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=First%20Portuguese%20Republic | First Portuguese Republic
opportunity to achieve a number of goals: putting an end to the twin threats of a Spanish invasion of Portugal and of foreign occupation of the colonies and, at the internal level, creating a national consensus around the regime and even around the party. These domestic objectives were not met, since participation in the conflict was not the subject of a national consensus and since it did not therefore serve to mobilise the population. Quite the opposite occurred: existing lines of political and ideological fracture were deepened by Portugal's intervention in the First World War. The lack of consensus around Portugal's intervention in turn made possible the appearance of two dictatorships, | 6,137,348 |
2569245 | First Portuguese Republic | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=First%20Portuguese%20Republic | First Portuguese Republic
led by General Pimenta de Castro (January–May 1915) and Sidónio Pais (December 1917–December 1918).
# The "República Nova" ("New Republic").
Sidonismo, also known as "Dezembrismo" (Eng. "Decemberism"), aroused a strong interest among historians, largely as a result of the elements of modernity that it contained. António José Telo has made clear the way in which this regime predated some of the political solutions invented by the totalitarian and fascist dictatorships of the 1920s and 1930s. Sidónio Pais undertook the rescue of traditional values, notably the "Pátria" (Eng. "Homeland"), and attempted to rule in a charismatic fashion. A move was made to abolish traditional political parties | 6,137,349 |
2569245 | First Portuguese Republic | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=First%20Portuguese%20Republic | First Portuguese Republic
and to alter the existing mode of national representation in parliament (which, it was claimed, exacerbated divisions within the "Pátria") through the creation of a corporative Senate, the founding of a single party (the National Republican Party, unofficially called "Partido Sidonista", "Sidonist Party"), and the attribution of a mobilising function to the Leader. The State carved out an economically interventionist role for itself while, at the same time, repressing working-class movements and leftist republicans. Sidónio Pais also attempted to restore public order and to overcome, finally, some of the rifts of the recent past, making the Republic more acceptable to monarchists and Catholics.

Return to the "República Velha" ("Old Republic").
The vacuum of power created by Sidónio Pais' assassination on 14 December 1918 led the country to a brief civil war. The monarchy's restoration was proclaimed in the north of Portugal, as the Monarchy of the North ("Monarquia do Norte"), on 19 January 1919 and, four days later, a monarchist insurrection broke out in Lisbon. A republican coalition government, led by José Relvas, coordinated the struggle against the monarchists by loyal army units and armed civilians. After a series of clashes the monarchists were definitively chased from Porto on 13 February 1919. This military victory allowed the PRP to return to government and to emerge triumphant | 6,137,351 |
2569245 | First Portuguese Republic | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=First%20Portuguese%20Republic | First Portuguese Republic
from the elections held later that year, having won the usual absolute majority.
It was during this restoration of the "old" Republic that an attempted reform was carried out in order to provide the regime with greater stability. In August 1919 a conservative President was elected – António José de Almeida (whose Evolutionist party had come together in wartime with the PRP to form a flawed, because incomplete, Sacred Union) – and his office was given the power to dissolve Parliament. Relations with the Holy See, restored by Sidónio Pais, were preserved. The President used his new power to resolve a crisis of government in May 1921, naming a Liberal government (the Liberal party being the result | 6,137,352 |
2569245 | First Portuguese Republic | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=First%20Portuguese%20Republic | First Portuguese Republic
of the postwar fusion of Evolutionists and Unionists) to prepare the forthcoming elections. These were held on 10 July 1921 with victory going, as was usually the case, to the party in power. However, Liberal government did not last long. On 19 October a military "pronunciamento" was carried out during which – and apparently against the wishes of the coup's leaders – a number of prominent conservative figures, including Prime Minister António Granjo, were assassinated. This event, known as the "night of blood" left a deep wound among political elites and public opinion. There could be no greater demonstration of the essential fragility of the Republic's institutions and proof that the regime | 6,137,353 |
2569245 | First Portuguese Republic | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=First%20Portuguese%20Republic | First Portuguese Republic
was democratic in name only, since it did not even admit the possibility of the rotation in power characteristic of the elitist regimes of the nineteenth century.
A new round of elections on 29 January 1922 inaugurated a fresh period of stability, since the PRP once again emerged from the contest with an absolute majority. Discontent with this situation had not, however, disappeared. Numerous accusations of corruption, and the manifest failure to resolve pressing social concerns wore down the more visible PRP leaders while making the opposition's attacks more deadly. At the same time, moreover, all political parties suffered from growing internal faction-fighting, especially the PRP itself. | 6,137,354 |
2569245 | First Portuguese Republic | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=First%20Portuguese%20Republic | First Portuguese Republic
The party system was fractured and discredited. This is clearly shown by the fact that regular PRP victories at the ballot box did not lead to stable government. Between 1910 and 1926 there were forty-five governments. The opposition of presidents to single-party governments, internal dissent within the PRP, the party's almost non-existent internal discipline, and its constant and irrational desire to group together and lead all republican forces made any government's task practically impossible. Many different formulae were attempted, including single-party governments, coalitions, and presidential executives, but none succeeded. Force was clearly the sole means open to the opposition if it | 6,137,355 |
2569245 | First Portuguese Republic | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=First%20Portuguese%20Republic | First Portuguese Republic
wanted to enjoy the fruits of power.
By the mid-1920s the domestic and international scenes began to favour another authoritarian solution, wherein a strengthened executive might restore political and social order. Since the opposition's constitutional route to power was blocked by the various means deployed by the PRP to protect itself, it turned to the army for support. The armed forces, whose political awareness had grown during the war, and whose leaders had not forgiven the PRP for sending them to a war they did not want to fight, seemed to represent, to conservative forces, the last bastion of "order" against the "chaos" that was taking over the country. Links were established between | 6,137,356 |
2569245 | First Portuguese Republic | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=First%20Portuguese%20Republic | First Portuguese Republic
conservative figures and military officers, who added their own political and corporative demands to the already complex equation. During 1925 there were two attempted military coups - on April 18 and July 19. The military prosecutor was general Oscar Carmona, who refused to fulfill his duties and advocated acquittal of coup plotters.
The Revolution of 28 May 1926 against the last Republican Party government of António Maria da Silva enjoyed the support of most army units and even of most political parties. As had been the case in December 1917, the population of Lisbon did not rise to defend the Republic, leaving it at the mercy of the army. There are few global and up-to-date studies of this | 6,137,357 |
2569245 | First Portuguese Republic | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=First%20Portuguese%20Republic | First Portuguese Republic
turbulent third phase of the Republic's existence. Nevertheless, much has been written about the crisis and fall of the regime and the 28 May movement;.
# Heads of state and government.
The First Portuguese Republic was an unstable period in the History of Portugal. In a period of 16 years (1910–1926) Portugal had 8 Presidents of the Republic, 1 Provisional Government, 38 Prime Ministers and 1 Constitutional "Junta":
# Evaluation of the republican experiment and legacy.
The First Republic continues to be the subject of an intense debate which is impossible to summarise in these paragraphs. Nevertheless, one can distinguish three main interpretations. For some historians, the First Republic | 6,137,358 |
2569245 | First Portuguese Republic | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=First%20Portuguese%20Republic | First Portuguese Republic
was a progressive and increasingly democratic regime. For others, it was essentially a prolongation of the classical liberal regimes of the nineteenth century. A third group, finally, chooses to highlight the regime's revolutionary, Jacobin, and dictatorial nature.
Most historians have emphasized the failure and collapse of the republican dream by the 1920s. José Miguel Sardica in 2011 summarized the consensus of historians:
Sardica, however, also points up the lasting effects of the republican experiment:

Amazon Hosiery Mill
The Amazon Hosiery Mill, also known as the Amazon Knitting Mill, is a former industrial building located at 530-550 West Western Avenue in Muskegon, Michigan. It now houses the Amazon Apartments. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
# History.
The city of Muskegon was built on the lumber trade. However, in the early 1890s, the lumbering business in the area came to an abrupt halt, with lumber shipments from the area plummeting by over 90%. The Muskegon Chamber of Commerce, alarmed at the economic impact on the area, devised an incentive plan to lure new businesses to the city. The plan included financial help to new companies based | 6,137,365 |
54001429 | Amazon Hosiery Mill | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Amazon%20Hosiery%20Mill | Amazon Hosiery Mill
on employment, and a free building site if employments gains were realized. In 1895, George W. Powell of the Amazon Hosiery Company of Michigan City, Indiana, agreed to move the company's factory to Muskegon. A single-story brick building was constructed on Western Avenue to house the factory.
However, the company struggled at its new location, and in 1897 lumber barons Charles Hackley and Thomas Hume rescued the company, paying $100,000 to gain controlling interest. They reorganized it as the Amazon Knitting Mill and changed their product line. The company began to prosper, and by 1899 employed 650 people. A new four-story brick addition to the factory was constructed that year.
The company | 6,137,366 |
54001429 | Amazon Hosiery Mill | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Amazon%20Hosiery%20Mill | Amazon Hosiery Mill
continued to flourish during the first part of the twentieth century, and operated well into the Great Depression. However, the onset of World War II siphoned off labor and supplies needed to keep the plant operating, and in 1943 the plant was shut down and the company's assets sold off. The building stood empty until 1945, when one portion was leased to ACDelco, a division of General Motors. Over the next several decades, a number of different businesses moved in and out of the building. In 1993, plans were drawn up to convert the building into mixed residential and commercial spaces. This project was completed in 2001, and as of 2017 the building houses the Amazon Apartments. The building | 6,137,367 |

contains 118 apartments and has 98,000 square feet of retail and office space on the ground floor.
# Description.
The Amazon Hosiery Mill was constructed in two segments. The eastern segment, now apparently demolished, was a single-story, L-shaped building measuring 240 feet in length and 110 feet in width. It had a two-story square tower at the corner.
The larger western section is a four-story U-shaped brick structure with a hipped roof, measuring 240 feet by 200 feet, with sections 70 feet wide. The central block of the U features projecting brick pilasters separating rectangular window openings. Two square towers are placed at the corners of the structure. The eastern tower is five stories | 6,137,368 |

Newlander Apartments
The Newlander Apartments are a historic apartment building in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Originally built as a single-family house around 1910 and expanded via a number of additions, it is notable as a well-preserved example of the small boarding houses and apartment buildings that housed much of Albuquerque's working-class population in the early 20th century. The building is listed in the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties and the National Register of Historic Places.

1912 the house was bought by John Newlander, the operator of a planing mill which he then relocated to the adjoining lot on Iron Avenue. By 1916, his wife Lula had converted the house to a four-unit apartment building. The apartments were typical of the small boarding houses and apartment buildings, mainly converted single-unit dwellings, that served Albuquerque's working-class inhabitants in the early 20th century.
Multiple additions at the rear of the building gradually increased the number of apartments to 14 by 1946. Between 1932 and 1941, the apartments operated under the name Fifield Apartments. The building continued to function as apartments into the 1990s, although its condition deteriorated. | 6,137,380 |

Taylan Ünal (born 1982) is a Turkish artist who lives in Istanbul. His work includes oil paintings, drawings and street art.
# Biography.
Born in Istanbul, Ünal graduated from the Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University, Painting Department in 2011. He lives and works in Beyoğlu, Istanbul.
# Work.
In his work, Ünal focuses on oil painting and drawings. Ünal uses the effect of deformation in his paintings and refers to ideas of the French philosopher Gilles Deleuze and the American artist Jackson Pollock. His work revolves around the dualism between the chaos around human beings and inside them. His portraits are often based on abstract-expressionist improvisation. Ünal seeks to understand | 6,137,384 |
54001462 | Taylan Ünal | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Taylan%20Ünal | Taylan Ünal
the feeling of not belonging to anywhere, a body without organs or identity and the wish to flee. Whereas his portraits have been perceived as characters with worries, Ünal prefers an interpretation of an architectural structure with dual identities.
Ünal also worked as street artist in cities like Istanbul and Athens. In his large wall paintings, he deforms faces and expressions to give emotional asset a different language.
