24 year-old Charly Pitman, of Brislington, Bristol, was found guilty of riot following a trial at Bristol Crown Court in April. On 7th July 2022 she was sentenced to three years in prison.
During her trial jurors heard how she positioned herself at the front of the crowd challenging police officers as they attempted to separate them from the neighbourhood police station.
They were shown footage of her acting aggressively towards the officers, striking their shields and helmets, and were told her actions caused them and others to fear for their safety.
Judge Julian Lambert said Pitman made a conscious decision not to leave the riot and encouraged others to attack police officers. He added jurors decided quickly there was ‘no basis for self-defence’, as Pitman had claimed during the trial.
Including Pitman, those jailed for offences committed during the riot have been imprisoned for a combined total of 74 years and nine months.
I am Delara Darabi 20 years old, sentenced to death. It is three years now that I try to defend myself using colors, forms and words.
These paintings are my swear to what I have not done. So maybe colors would return me back into life.
From behind the walls, I say hello to you, who has come to see my paintings.
(Iraj’s translation of part of how Delara introduces herself, which is printed on the “Delara Darabi Exhibition in Tehran Oct. 20-25” portrait)
Some of her paintings are done using only her fingers, nails, and a black color in the dark days of her loneliness in prison. She calls herself and prisoner of colors. She knows colors since she was 4 years old and lost her connection when she was 17.
In her first trial, she claimed that she killed her cousin so she could save her boyfriend’s life, since she was only 17 years old at that time and they would not execute her because of her age.

PORTSAID, EGYPT - FEBRUARY 1: A graffiti by Interior Ministry that reads "Muslim Brotherhood are liars"
-
Thousands went down to the streets on Friday in memory of the dozens killed in clashes with security forces, also in solidarity with local football fans sentenced to death.
Protesters demanded the downfall of President Mohamed Morsi and called for the army to take over. Some protesters even demanded the independence of Porsaid - to be a separate country from Egypt.
The violence started after 21 football fans were sentenced to death for their involvement in last year's stadium riot that left 74 dead.
Army was deployed to the streets after Morsi announced a curfew - a curfew defied by protesters - to be imposed in Portsaid, Ismailia and Suez.

THE murders of Andrew, Rose and Chantelle Rowe were calculated, cold-blooded, merciless and deserving of no less than 35 years’ jail, the Supreme Court has ruled.
Justice John Sulan this morning jailed Jason Alexander Downie for life, with a 35-year non-parole period, for the November 2010 murders in Kapunda.
More than 100 friends and family of Rowes listened, wept and shouted abuse at Downie as Justice Sulan said words could not adequately describe the murders and their impact.
They were caught off-guard, however, when his sentencing remarks went into further graphic detail about the murders.
Miika Juhana Tenkula (6. maaliskuuta 1974 Oulu – 18. helmikuuta 2009 Muhos) oli suomalainen muusikko, joka tunnetaan vuosina 1989–2005 toimineen Sentenced-yhtyeen soolokitaristina.
Hän kuoli perinnöllisen sydänvian aiheuttamaan äkilliseen sydänkohtaukseen kotonaan Muhoksella 18. helmikuuta 2009. Hänet haudattiin Kirkkosaaren hautausmaalle Muhokselle
----------------------
Miika Tenkula (6 March 1974 – 18 February 2009) was a Finnish heavy metal musician. He was the lead guitarist and the main songwriter for the band Sentenced until it disbanded. He was also the band's original vocalist from 1989 to late 1992.
After Sentenced disbanded, Tenkula withdrew from publicity. He died of a sudden heart attack caused by genetic heart disease at his home in the town of Muhos 18 February 2009. His former band members remembered him by publishing an obituary in the official Sentenced webpage on 22 February 2009.
Sentenced mourned the loss of Miika Tenkula, "a dear friend, a truly remarkable artist and musician, and the very soul of what used to be Sentenced. Rest now, brother – in your music and our hearts you will live forever".
An open memorial was held in the Club Teatria in the city of Oulu on 18 April 2009. In the music containing ceremony was also show Buried Alive - concert movie, that was filmed in the same location in 2005, where Miika Tenkula and the Sentenced held their last concert before disbanding. In the ceremony, music from Miika Tenkula's favourite artists was heard, but also cover versions from the Sentenced songs performed by various Finnish artists and bands.
Finnish melodic death metal band Insomnium's song "Weighed Down with Sorrow" from their 2009 album Across the Dark is dedicated to Tenkula. (Wikipedia)

Discovering Salience in Textual Elements Using Graph Mutual Reinforcement → Ahmed Hassan → Ahmed came up with an elegant idea: sentences that provide the best summary of a piece of text have important words. And important words are those that are contained in important sentences. Sounds like a job for the HITS algorithm, and Ahmed takes it for a spin.

When I first saw this sign I read it as a 2 word sentence with 'frost' being the subject and 'heaves' being the verb. I thought that "frost" was somehow going to "heave" itself on me around the next curve. I didn't know if it was going to heave from the trees or heave from the snow drifts, but I was always on guard. Three months later, I finally asked someone what the frost heaves warnings were all about because nothing had ever fallen on me. This was just in time for me to find out first hand. Frost heaves are a noun not a verb. Frost heaves occur when the pavement breaks and ruptures and gets all bumpy because of frozen water under the road. Now when I see the signs, I know to hold on to the wheel with 2 hands and accelerate because I'm in for my own personal roller coaster ride. Gotta love New England!
This is an important leaf from of Peter Lombard's Sentences produced in England c.1280. (See also Ref 127).
The text forms part of the list of contents (chapter headings) of Peter Lombard's Sentences, Book IV. It starts at Distinction XLI, Chapter 6 (Chapter 233 of the book as a whole) and goes to the end of the book, Distinction L, Chapter 7 (Chapter 290 of the book as a whole). It says what the book is teaching. The verso of the leaf is blank.
The size of the leaf, including repair, is approx. 323mm x 210mm (12 7/10ins. x 8 1/10ins.).
Certain of the coloured initials have brown paraph marks to their left-hand side. Adjacent to these, in the margins, are numbers from 43 to 50 (the number 42 is missing where the leaf is defective). There is little doubt that these are the page numbers (or leaf numbers) and indicate the first chapter on that page or leaf.
In the outer margin in grey coloured ink is a block of characters [mentioned in the 1980 catalogue description] that have been described as "half-Greek". Attempts are being made, so far unsuccessfully, to establish their meaning. It has been suggested that it may be cipher writing.
In the last line of the right-hand column of text, in dark black ink, is the signature of the person who owned the book from which the leaf comes in the second half of the 18th. Century. This was one Edward Walmsley (see provenance below).
PROVENANCE: -
1. From a volume consisting of Books III-IV only of which this is the last leaf written in England about 1280;
2. Edward Walmsley, whose library was sold in London in 1795 (his signature in the bottom line of the outside column of text [mentioned in the 1980 catalogue description];
3. The manuscript was already imperfect by 1910 when a leaf was given by J.F.Lewis to the Free Library in Philadelphia (now Lewis fragment XIII:373);
4. Another leaf was owned in the late 1950's by the late Marquess of Cholomondley, who bequeathed it to the Society for Italic Handwriting, which still owns it;
5. Most of the volume, including the present leaf, was owned by Nell and Charles Wheeler (their sale, New York, 29th. July 1919, lot 593);
6. Purchased by the calligrapher C.L. Ricketts (and described in his possession by S. de Ricci, Census of Medieval and Renaissance MSS in the United States and Canada, I, 1935, p.646, No. 185, mentioning Ed. Walmsley [copy of entry attached];
7. Sold at Parke Bennett in New York, 24th. February 1939, lot 280, for $100;
8. Re-appeared, still bound, at Sotheby's, London, 24th. June 1980, lot 59;
9. Already broken up by late 1980 (see Sotheby's 14th. July 1981, lot 17).
CONDITION: -
The leaf is by no means in perfect condition. It has various brown stains and also some with a purple tinge. Red wine perhaps? There is a piece cut away from the bottom right corner and the leaf had obviously fallen away from the book and been repaired so that it could be re-attached. This repair must have taken place a considerable length of time ago, as even the newer velum has suffered some worming, as has the original leaf itself.
GENERAL COMMENTS: -
Whilst not in the finest condition, this is a leaf of the greatest interest being from a book that was "the fundamental book of all medieval theology" (Bernard Quaritch). The book was written in the 12th. Century by Peter Lombard whilst he was professor at the cathedral school in Notre Dame in Paris.
The leaf is also of great importance in that it is the final leaf from the book (the reason for there being no text on the verso) and that it is readily identifiable due to the autograph of its known 18th. Century owner.
It is a good example of the way that university textbooks were laid out - wide margins - as evidenced here by the wideness of the outside and bottom margins. They were made so to enable the student to write his notes about the text, the "Gloss". On this leaf we see a "Gloss" of half-Greek characters, or even cipher writing, but what does it mean?
Vancouver, Canada joins international emergency protests
following sentencing of Chelsea Manning!
Activists and supporters of Chelsea Manning (formerly
Bradley Manning) came together on August 21st on less than 24 hours
notice to protest the unjust prison sentence of 35 years handed down to
Manning. Mobilization Against War and Occupation (MAWO) set up an information
table in downtown Vancouver while supporters held picket signs, collected
petition signatures and passed out brochures with information about the case
and sentencing. There was an unprecedented response of passer-bys in support of
Manning, and the info table and petitioners were constantly busy with people
signing the petition and expressing their opposition to the outrageous
sentencing.
The action caught the attention of Vancouver’s main news
talk radio station CKNW, who sent a reporter to cover the action. Supporter’s
chants of “Free Bradley Manning Now!” were recorded as well as an interview
with MAWO co-chair Janine Solanki. Coverage of the protest was aired on the
evening news and repeated throughout the night to the next morning on this
widely listened to station.
Vancouver supporters of Chelsea Manning and Mobilization
Against War and Occupation are ready to continue the fight to free Chelsea
Manning, and will be protesting again with a rally and petition campaign this
Saturday August 24th, in the same location in front of the Vancouver
Art Gallery in Downtown Vancouver.

Protestors gathered outside the Hennepin County Courthouse in Minneapolis on December 23, 2021, to advocate for justice in the sentencing of former police officer Kim Potter. Potter was convicted of manslaughter in the fatal shooting of Daunte Wright, a Black man, during a traffic stop in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, in April 2021. The protest, held on the day of Potter's sentencing, underscored ongoing concerns about police brutality and racial injustice within the American justice system.

THE NIUE TRAGEDY.
MURDER OF A POLICEMAN.
DEATH SENTENCE PASSED.
ANOTHER MAN GETS TEN YEARS.
News from Niue by the mail which arrived yesterday by the barquentine Yeabel states that the famous murder trial came to a conclusion during the second week in July. The Islander who was charged with having murdered a native policeman was found guilty and sentenced to death. Another prisoner, the nephew of the condemned man, was found guilty of assisting in the crime, and sentenced to ten years' imprisonment. The evidence and all the papers connected with the trial have been forwarded to Wellington, and it is stated that the sentences will have to be reviewed by the New Zealand Cabinet before they are carried into effect.
The crime for which the two men were tried was a particularly brutal one. The native policeman was a zealous officer, and his attention to duty led him into conflict with the principal prisoner, the result being a long standing feud which ended in the murder. The unfortunate policeman was simply hacked to pieces with a knife. There was some uneasiness after the arrest of the alleged murderer, as he had a good deal of influence among a certain section of the Islanders.
The warship Veronica was sent to the island, and in addition to landing rifles and ammunition remained there for some days.

When H.M.s. Chatham returned yesterday from a three months' patrol ot the Pacific Islands she brought back two natives of Niue Island who had been sentenced last May to imprisonment for life for the murder of a native policeman. The prisoners were handed over to the gaol authorities, and will serve their sentence at Mount Eden gaol.

One of the Niue Island murderers brought to Auckland by H.M.S. Chatham on October 6 died in the Mount Eden Gaol yesterday of pneumonia. He was under sentence of ten years imprisonment for the murder—with another native now in Mount Eden Gaol serving a life sentence — a sergeant of native police at Niue last May.

ISLAND TRAGEDY.
STORY OF CONFESSION.
PRISONER’S INNOCENCE CLAIMED
NEGOTIATION WITH GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS.
The assertion that a Niue Islander named Matiu is now suffering imprisonment at Samoa for a crime of which he is innocent is made by Mr E. B. Vaile, who writes to the New Zealand Herald explaining the circumstances. “In April, 1921,” he states, “a native constable was murdered at the village of Makeju, on Niue Island, and two men, Matiu and Ulumotu (uncle and nephew respectively) were arrested. Ulumotu was sentenced to ten years’ penal servitude, and Matiu, who had nothing to do with the crime, was sentenced to death. This sentence was subsequently commuted to one of imprisonment for life. H.M.S. Chatham was sent to remove these men, and before their departure, the murderer was told that the “aitu,” or Ghost of his victim would follow him and eat at his heart until he died. This is practically what did occur, as Ulumotu, shortly after arriving in Mount. Eden prison, died. He left a dying confession of his guilt, stated his reason for the crime, and exonerated Matiu.
“The confession ultimately came into my hands,” says Mr Vaile, “and I sent an interpretation of it to the Department of Justice, which informed me that it was a matter for consideration of the Cook Islands Department. I then received a telegram from the Secretary of External Affairs asking me to forward the original confession. Before doing so I took precautions to have it photographed, and subsequent events proved the wisdom of doing so. A long correspondence then ensued, and has now gone on for one year and eight months. During this period I was seeking further evidence in support of the confession, and it was necessary to do so as far afield as Fiji. Samoa, and Niue Island. I have ultimately succeeded in obtaining sworn evidence in the form of an affidavit by a person who is well acquainted with Ulumotu’s handwriting, that the photograph to which I have already referred is of a document in the handwriting of Ulumoto. I have not received any assistance from the Department in my endeavor to prove the native’s innocence, and it has been a long and tedious process.”
The following is an interpretation of the confession referred to.- “I am Ulumotu who is writing this letter on board His Majesty’s Ship Chatham. She js anchored here to take away six men who were wrecked here, I have made up my mind to write this letter to make known the story about myself, for I feel certain that death is coming to me. When we left Niue my body was light like cotton-wool; no sickness of any kind, but after having spent twenty nights in prison at Fiji I saw a vision in the night. From that night I got very ill and nearly died there. I felt well in the daytime, but felt ill at night. The doctor was kind to me on board ship, but he did not understand what had happened to me. A spear had been thrust into my side and drew my breath away. I am cursed through my bloody hands. Matiu took the long knife that I slew him with to Court and told them what I did, which was all true. The people around heard my lamentations to my wife when she died. I was persuaded by ….. and others to put the blame on my uncle (Matiu) as if I told the truth the law will take away my life; but if I said it was my uncle the law will have mercy on him being one of themselves (a man of standing). I can bear and feel that I have not many clays to live, that death has come to me. They say at Niue that they will take me to the place where they sent ….., but to Napier, where they sent ….. My dear uncle, I have sinned toward you. When you hear that I have gone, take this letter to Niue and make it known. I am Ulumotu who wrote this letter.”
Mr Vaile says the Department states in a letter dated 16th November, that the matter is “receiving every consideration.” Mr Vaile concludes: “This is how the matter stands at the present; but I consider it is of such a nature that it should be taken up by the public and finally and speedily settled. The unfortunate Matiu was not represented by a solicitor or by anyone else, and when be attempted to defend himself was silenced. Could any treatment be more reprehensible? Recently communication with Matiu and those assisting him (including his wife) has been mysteriously interrupted. I intend to locate this interruption. I wish to make it perfectly clear that the gentleman who is now Resident Commissioner at Niue Island was not in any way responsible for the above; under his administration such behaviour would be impossible.”

THE NIUE MURDER CASE.
By Telegram.—Own Correspondant.
WELLINGTON, this day.
In connection with the statement made by Mr. E. B. Vaile, of Auckland, that the Cook Islands Department did not take proper steps following, the receipt of a written confession alleged to be by a Niue Islander named Ulumotu to the effect that he and not another native named Matiu was the murderer of a native policeman who was killed last year at Niue, the Department states that careful investigation was made at Niue by Dr. Ellison, acting-Resident Commissioner, who wrote in reply that the Administration was satisfied that the confession was not in the handwriting of Ulumotu (who has since died). The result was conveyed to Mr. Vaile on July 18th. The Department further states that the matter was officially dealt with in seven months, not twenty months, as alleged by Mr. Vaile.

The rows 11 to 16 in Anglican F are what is known as ‘Potters Fields’, they were used to bury some of the people whose families were unable to afford burial costs, were institutionalised or unidentified at the time of burial. These plots were common graves with many having several individuals interred in each. They were narrower and closer together and, because they were not paid for, permanent grave markers were not permitted to be erected.

Following the Benedictine rules, the monastery but provides also very specific services. In the spirit of Benedictine hospitality the Schottenstift offers »monastery for a limited time", in the as a bed and breakfast run Benediktushaus guests from all over the world are welcome. The pastoral and spiritual care are just as much part of everyday life of the members of the Convention as the teaching in the traditional Scots high school and youth work in the basement. In the spirited Scots parish a lively cultural activity can unfold.
History of the Schottenstift
Duke Henry II Jasomirgott made Vienna the residence of Babenbergerreiches (Kingdom of the Babenberg). To emphasize the importance of the new capital, he convened in 1155 iroschottische (Irish-Scottish) monks from the St. Jakob monastery in Regensburg to Vienna. The new foundation in the first place should be a place of prayer, but then also a place where pilgrims and guests could find admission, a refuge for asylum seekers (the name "Freyung" still today reminds of that) and a center of cultural life.

In the years from 1160 to 1200 outside the former city limits arose a mighty Romanesque church, which was a lot bigger than today's church, and the eastern part of the Roman church reached about 25 meters beyond the east wall of the present house of worship. In 1200, the church and convent were consecrated by the Bishop of Passau Wolfger von Ellenbrechtskirchen. Already in 1276 much of this troublesome erected complex fell victim to a fire. Earthquakes in the years 1348 and 1443 again left traces of destruction. In the mid-15th Century thus arose a new monastery.

In 1418 the era of Irish-Scottish monks ended, since in the course of the Melker Reform they were encouraged also to integrate locals into their ranks because junior staff more and more became sparse. The Iroschotten but prefered to return to their mother abbey in Regensburg. The name "Scots" but remained to this day.

Deed of Foundation
The fundamental redesign of Scots Abbey falls in the 17th and 18th Century. 1648, the present church was completed, in the following decades the monastery complex was changed from its very foundations.
Decisive role in these buildings had Abbot Carl Fetzer (1705-1750). Today's "Schottenhof (Court)" under abbot Andreas Wenzel (1807-1831) by the architect Josef Kornhäusel was classicist redesigned. The intensive study of science and close ties to the in 1365 founded University of Vienna resulted yet in the times of irish-scottish monks in the emergence of a first library. Although from those roots today almost nothing remains, the number of medieval manuscripts and incunabula in the following centuries grew. In this regard, wrote Albert P. Huebl (1867-1931) all currently valid printed catalogs. During the reorganization of the monastery, a new library hall was built under Abbot Andreas Wenzel for printed books, whose current division Vincent P. Knauer (1828-1894) had created. Under his leadership, a handwritten nominal catalog of books was created in 1883.
In 1807 on the request of the emperor it came to the foundation of the "Schottengymnasium" which took up the old school tradition of the house on the Freyung and should it continue. The prestigious school has become a main area of work of the monks. Concerning the building structure, the two world wars the Schottenstift on the whole has survived intact, for the Convention itself they entailed great damage, be it the economic troubles after the first world war or the great human bloodletting in the years 1939 to 1945. Numerous brothers fell in the war or did not return, the gates of the school remained closed from 1938 to 1945. The Second Vatican Council for the Scots Abbey, too, entailed the profound reflection upon the peculiarities of the monastic life and the tasks, which a Benedictine community in the world of today should and can shoulder.

Important art dating back several centuries
The Vienna Schottenstift on Freyung is among the most important Benedictine monasteries in Austria. Yet in the 15th Century, the Abbey of the Scots developed into a center of the Vienna spiritual and city life. Not coincidentally shows the Scots masters altar the first topographically correct view of the city of Vienna. The reign of Barockabtes (Baroque abbot) Carl Fetzer (1705-1750) was an economic and cultural heyday. The 1826-1832 by Josef Kornhäusel designed Prelature now houses the "Museum in the Abbey of the Scots". In addition to an extensive collection of paintings, furniture, tapestries, vestments and liturgical utensils and vestments, it shows an impressive documentation of the monastery history.

The high altar of the original Gothic collegiate church was removed about 1640. Today, the altar of the "Wiener Scots Master (Schottenmeister)", originating from 1469 to 1480, is a masterpiece of late Gothic painting in Austria and the center of the museum in Schottenstift. History, development process, workshop operations, among others, illustrates an informative documentary, which complement the successor works to Flemish painting of the 17th Century by Josse de Momper the Younger and David Vinckboons.
In Schottenstift the Interested visitor finds in addition to major religious paintings (among others by Peter Paul Rubens, Jan Cossiers and Giovanni Battista Pittoni), portrait and landscape painting of the 17th and 18th Century (eg by Johann Christian Brand, Christian Seybold, Christoph Paudiss and Simon de Vos) and Vienna Biedermeier painting by Johann Baptist Drechsler, Johann Knapp, Thomas Ender and Johann Peter Krafft. Works of the Dutch and Austrian still life painting of the 17th and 18th Century complement the valuable private collection. The large-sized former Baroque high altar painting by Joachim von Sandrart »The heavenly glory" (1671) in Prälatensaal is, like the lecture hall with works of Austrian baroque painters, as Peter Paul Strudel and Tobias Pock, integrated into the museum complex.
Vancouver, Canada joins international emergency protests
following sentencing of Chelsea Manning!
Activists and supporters of Chelsea Manning (formerly
Bradley Manning) came together on August 21st on less than 24 hours
notice to protest the unjust prison sentence of 35 years handed down to
Manning. Mobilization Against War and Occupation (MAWO) set up an information
table in downtown Vancouver while supporters held picket signs, collected
petition signatures and passed out brochures with information about the case
and sentencing. There was an unprecedented response of passer-bys in support of
Manning, and the info table and petitioners were constantly busy with people
signing the petition and expressing their opposition to the outrageous
sentencing.
The action caught the attention of Vancouver’s main news
talk radio station CKNW, who sent a reporter to cover the action. Supporter’s
chants of “Free Bradley Manning Now!” were recorded as well as an interview
with MAWO co-chair Janine Solanki. Coverage of the protest was aired on the
evening news and repeated throughout the night to the next morning on this
widely listened to station.
Vancouver supporters of Chelsea Manning and Mobilization
Against War and Occupation are ready to continue the fight to free Chelsea
Manning, and will be protesting again with a rally and petition campaign this
Saturday August 24th, in the same location in front of the Vancouver
Art Gallery in Downtown Vancouver.
Tomb of John Bridgeman c1568- 1637 Chief Justice of Chester and wife Frances sister and heiress of Giles Daunt of Owlpen, daughter of Henry Daunt and Dorothy Hussey. Monument attributed to Francisco Fanelli
John was the son of John Bridgeman of Littledean and Ann daughter of William Garnon of Hereford a minor gentry family

5. Elizabeth m Sir Richard Hussey
& Thomas, William & Mary
When Giles Daunt died still a minor & without issue in 1596, the ownership of Owlpen was disputed with Frances' uncle Thomas Daunt. John lost the case when he was accused of forging deeds before Sir Edward Coke, the Attorney General.
(Thomas Daunt was entailed of Owlpen and the Gloucestershire lands that his brother Henry had inherited as eldest son. Giles died before he even became of age, but Henry Daunt's will had clearly named Giles the heir. The Star Chamber ruled that the estates were entailed to the male heirs, and the next male heir after Henry died was Giles, who died, then Thomas Daunt)
Bridgeman was called to the bar in 1600. Most of his work was in the Court of Common Pleas, a report of whose proceedings between 1613-1621 he compiled. In 1613, he bought the manor of Nympsfield, Gloc with Luke Garnon.
1623 saw a number of advancements being appointed to the Council of the Marches,. a serjeant-at-law and knighted by Charles l at Whitehall With the assistance of Sir Thomas Coventry a fellow student at the Inner Temple, he was appointed to the vacant office of Chief Justice of Chester in 1626.
In 1628, he and his son George jointly purchased Prinknash Park near Gloucester, which then became the family home
In 1637, Bridgeman was compelled to take severe measures to end pilgrimages to St Winefride's Well, Flintshire, considered a hotbed of recusancy by the government/ He seems to have been an unpopular judge, giving harsh sentences for trivial offences. - Ralph Gibbon composed the following upon his death
"Here lies Sir John Bridgeman clad in his clay; God said to the devil, Sirrah, take him away" - Ludlow Shropshire
The sentencing hearing for Maria Butina on 2/26/19 ended up with delaying her sentencing for another month, since the prosecutors said that she was continuing to cooperate with them. Here, her attorney Robert Driscoll speaks to reporters after the hearing. He said that she was doing well in jail, and that he did not expect any additional charges to be levied against her.

Borobudur is a 9th-century Mahayana Buddhist Temple in Magelang, Central Java, Indonesia. The monument consists of six square platforms topped by three circular platforms, and is decorated with 2,672 relief panels and 504 Buddha statues. A main dome, located at the center of the top platform, is surrounded by 72 Buddha statues seated inside a perforated stupa.
Built in the 9th century during the reign of the Sailendra Dynasty, the temple's design in Gupta architecture reflects India's influence on the region. It also depicts the gupta style from India and shows influence of Buddhism as well as Hinduism. The monument is both a shrine to the Lord Buddha and a place for Buddhist pilgrimage. The journey for pilgrims begins at the base of the monument and follows a path around the monument and ascends to the top through three levels symbolic of Buddhist cosmology: Kāmadhātu (the world of desire), Rupadhatu (the world of forms) and Arupadhatu (the world of formlessness). The monument guides pilgrims through an extensive system of stairways and corridors with 1,460 narrative relief panels on the walls and the balustrades.
Evidence suggests Borobudur was constructed in the 9th century and abandoned following the 14th century decline of Hindu kingdoms in Java, and the Javanese conversion to Islam. Worldwide knowledge of its existence was sparked in 1814 by Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles, then the British ruler of Java, who was advised of its location by native Indonesians. Borobudur has since been preserved through several restorations. The largest restoration project was undertaken between 1975 and 1982 by the Indonesian government and UNESCO, following which the monument was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Borobudur is still used for pilgrimage; once a year Buddhists in Indonesia celebrate Vesak at the monument, and Borobudur is Indonesia's single most visited tourist attraction.
There is no written record of who built Borobudur or of its intended purpose. The construction time has been estimated by comparison between carved reliefs on the temple's hidden foot and the inscriptions commonly used in royal charters during the 8th and 9th centuries. Borobudur was likely founded around 800 CE. This corresponds to the period between 760 and 830 CE, the peak of the Sailendra dynasty in central Java, when it was under the influence of the Srivijayan Empire. The construction has been estimated to have taken 75 years and been completed during the reign of Samaratungga in 825.
There is confusion between Hindu and Buddhist rulers in Java around that time. The Sailendras were known as ardent followers of Buddhism, though stone inscriptions found at Sojomerto suggest they may have been Hindus. It was during this time that many Hindu and Buddhist monuments were built on the plains and mountains around the Kedu Plain. The Buddhist monuments, including Borobudur, were erected around the same time as the Hindu Shiva Prambanan temple compound. In 732 CE, the Shivaite King Sanjaya commissioned a Shivalinga sanctuary to be built on the Wukir hill, only 10 km east of Borobudur.
Construction of Buddhist temples, including Borobudur, at that time was possible because Sanjaya's immediate successor, Rakai Panangkaran, granted his permission to the Buddhist followers to build such temples. In fact, to show his respect, Panangkaran gave the village of Kalasan to the Buddhist community, as is written in the Kalasan Charter dated 778 CE. This has led some archaeologists to believe that there was never serious conflict concerning religion in Java as it was possible for a Hindu king to patronize the establishment of a Buddhist monument; or for a Buddhist king to act likewise. However, it is likely that there were two rival royal dynasties in Java at the time—the Buddhist Sailendra and the Saivite Sanjaya—in which the latter triumphed over their rival in the 856 battle on the Ratubaka plateau. This confusion also exists regarding the Lara Jonggrang temple at the Prambanan complex, which was believed that it was erected by the victor Rakai Pikatan as the Sanjaya dynasty's reply to Borobudur, but others suggest that there was a climate of peaceful coexistence where Sailendra involvement exists in Lara Jonggrang.
Borobudur lay hidden for centuries under layers of volcanic ash and jungle growth. The facts behind its abandonment remain a mystery. It is not known when active use of the monument and Buddhist pilgrimage to it ceased. Sometime between 928 and 1006, King Mpu Sindok moved the capital of the Medang Kingdom to the region of East Java after a series of volcanic eruptions; it is not certain whether this influenced the abandonment, but several sources mention this as the most likely period of abandonment. The monument is mentioned vaguely as late as ca. 1365, in Mpu Prapanca's Nagarakretagama written during Majapahit era and mentioning "the vihara in Budur". Soekmono (1976) also mentions the popular belief that the temples were disbanded when the population converted to Islam in the 15th century.
The monument was not forgotten completely, though folk stories gradually shifted from its past glory into more superstitious beliefs associated with bad luck and misery. Two old Javanese chronicles (babad) from the 18th century mention cases of bad luck associated with the monument. According to the Babad Tanah Jawi (or the History of Java), the monument was a fatal factor for Mas Dana, a rebel who revolted against Pakubuwono I, the king of Mataram in 1709. It was mentioned that the "Redi Borobudur" hill was besieged and the insurgents were defeated and sentenced to death by the king. In the Babad Mataram (or the History of the Mataram Kingdom), the monument was associated with the misfortune of Prince Monconagoro, the crown prince of the Yogyakarta Sultanate in 1757. In spite of a taboo against visiting the monument, "he took what is written as the knight who was captured in a cage (a statue in one of the perforated stupas)". Upon returning to his palace, he fell ill and died one day later.
Lieutenant Governor-General Thomas Stamford Raffles took great interest in the history of Java. He collected Javanese antiques and made notes through contacts with local inhabitants during his tour throughout the island. On an inspection tour to Semarang in 1814, he was informed about a big monument deep in a jungle near the village of Bumisegoro. He was not able to make the discovery himself and sent H.C. Cornelius, a Dutch engineer, to investigate. In two months, Cornelius and his 200 men cut down trees, burned down vegetation and dug away the earth to reveal the monument. Due to the danger of collapse, he could not unearth all galleries. He reported his findings to Raffles including various drawings. Although the discovery is only mentioned by a few sentences, Raffles has been credited with the monument's recovery, as one who had brought it to the world's attention.
The Dutch East Indies government then commissioned F.C. Wilsen, a Dutch engineering official, who studied the monument and drew hundreds of relief sketches. J.F.G. Brumund was also appointed to make a detailed study of the monument, which was completed in 1859.
Borobudur attracted attention in 1885. The restoration was carried out between 1907 and 1911. Due to the limited budget, the restoration had been primarily focused on cleaning the sculptures, and Van Erp did not solve the drainage problem. Within fifteen years, the gallery walls were sagging and the reliefs showed signs of new cracks and deterioration. Van Erp used concrete from which alkali salts and calcium hydroxide leached and were transported into the rest of the construction. This caused some problems, so that a further thorough renovation was urgently needed.
In 1973, a master plan to restore Borobudur was created. The Indonesian government and UNESCO then undertook the complete overhaul of the monument in a big restoration project between 1975 and 1982. The foundation was stabilized and all 1,460 panels were cleaned. The restoration involved the dismantling of the five square platforms and improved the drainage by embedding water channels into the monument. Both impermeable and filter layers were added. This colossal project involved around 600 people to restore the monument and cost a total of US$ 6,901,243. After the renovation was finished, UNESCO listed Borobudur as a World Heritage Site in 1991. It is listed under Cultural criteria "to represent a masterpiece of human creative genius", "to exhibit an important interchange of human values, over a span of time or within a cultural area of the world, on developments in architecture or technology, monumental arts, town-planning or landscape design", and "to be directly or tangibly associated with events or living traditions, with ideas, or with beliefs, with artistic and literary works of outstanding universal significance".
Borobudur contains approximately 2,670 individual bas reliefs (1,460 narrative and 1,212 decorative panels), which cover the façades and balustrades. The total relief surface is 2,500 square metres and they are distributed at the hidden foot and the five square platforms.
The narrative panels, which tell the story of Sudhana and Manohara,[69] are grouped into 11 series encircled the monument with the total length of 3,000 metres (9,800 ft). The hidden foot contains the first series with 160 narrative panels and the remaining 10 series are distributed throughout walls and balustrades in four galleries starting from the eastern entrance stairway to the left. Narrative panels on the wall read from right to left, while on the balustrade read from left to right. This conforms with pradaksina, the ritual of circumambulation performed by pilgrims who move in a clockwise direction while keeping the sanctuary to their right.[70]
The hidden foot depicts the workings of karmic law. The walls of the first gallery have two superimposed series of reliefs; each consists of 120 panels. The upper part depicts the biography of the Buddha, while the lower part of the wall and also balustrades in the first and the second galleries tell the story of the Buddha's former lives. The remaining panels are devoted to Sudhana's further wandering about his search, terminated by his attainment of the Perfect Wisdom.
Apart from the story of the Buddhist cosmology carved in stone, Borobudur has many statues of various Buddhas. The cross-legged statues are seated in a lotus position and distributed on the five square platforms (the Rupadhatu level) as well as on the top platform (the Arupadhatu level).
The Buddha statues are in niches at the Rupadhatu level, arranged in rows on the outer sides of the balustrades, the number of statues decreasing as platforms progressively diminish to the upper level. The first balustrades have 104 niches, the second 104, the third 88, the fourth 72 and the fifth 64. In total, there are 432 Buddha statues at the Rupadhatu level. At the Arupadhatu level (or the three circular platforms), Buddha statues are placed inside perforated stupas. The first circular platform has 32 stupas, the second 24 and the third 16, that add up to 72 stupas. Of the original 504 Buddha statues, over 300 are damaged (mostly headless) and 43 are missing (since the monument's discovery, heads have been stolen as collector's items, mostly by Western museums).
At first glance, all the Buddha statues appear similar, but there is a subtle difference between them in the mudras or the position of the hands. There are five groups of mudra: North, East, South, West and Zenith, which represent the five cardinal compass points according to Mahayana. The first four balustrades have the first four mudras: North, East, South and West, of which the Buddha statues that face one compass direction have the corresponding mudra. Buddha statues at the fifth balustrades and inside the 72 stupas on the top platform have the same mudra: Zenith. Each mudra represents one of the Five Dhyani Buddhas; each has its own symbolism.
