Bobby Hodge Robert William Hodge (born 30 April 1954) is an English former footballer who played in the Football League as a winger for Exeter City, Colchester United and Torquay United. Born in Exeter, Hodge began his career with local team Exeter City. He made 128 league appearances for the club and scored 18 goals between 1974 and 1978, helping the club to promotion to the Third Division in the 1976–77 season by finishing in second position in the league table. Colchester United signed Hodge in 1978 for a fee of £15,000 and made his debut for the club on |

7646703 | "The Camp (film)"
The Camp (film) The Camp (Arabic: المخيم) is a 2013 Arabic language documentary film by Egyptian photographer, filmmaker and director Tamer Eissa, about the ""Arab Spring Camp"" attended by children of martyrs who fell in Gaza and children of martyrs of the Egyptian revolution. The children's camp took place in July 2012 for 2 weeks in two locations: in Cairo and in Nuebaa by the Red Sea. Through interviews of the organizers and of the children, and by following their activities in the camp, the documentary depicts the experience of the children in the camp during the two weeks, focusing |
7646704 | "The Camp (film)"
on the personal stories of three of the children: Siraj, Rizk and Shahd. The film first screened in Cairo on April 1, 2013. The Camp is a 2-week holiday camp for children of the martyrs from Gaza and Egypt. The activities in the Camp were meant to provide psychological support to the children of martyrs to help them in the acceptance of the loss of their parents. The activities involved expression through arts (visual and music), psycho-drama sessions, outdoor activities, etc. The group of volunteers included professionals from the field of education, psychology and arts. The intention of the camp |
7646705 | "The Camp (film)"
organizers was to include children from other Arab Spring countries however due to budget constraints it was restricted to children from Gaza and Egypt. The psychological support to the children was influenced by the Montessori educational approach. Film director Tamer Eissa initially joined the camp as a volunteer to teach the children photography, video making and filming. After his return from the camp, he decided to make this film to document the experience. Director’s note: ""The Camp … you may consider it a film and maybe not…. You may consider it a short trip After taking this trip I asked |

myself … what is pleasure? Before trying to explain the answer I have reached…. Let me tell you the story from the beginning. In June 2012, I traveled to the Egyptian city of Nuwebi'. I was part of the team of ""The Arab Spring Camp for Children"", for 11 days. My initial plan for joining the Camp was to organize a workshop to teach the children Photography and Video Filming. But without any previous preparations I found myself dragged into a flood of memories, stories and meditations; and soon the positive energy I had arrived with…. changed my intentions to |

an attempt to document some of the details of the trip and to narrate part of the children's stories. I loved those children and learnt a great deal from them. Their strength helped me to regain a positive energy and determination to love life, a concept I had almost lost in our world. The Camp was over and I returned to crowded Cairo, carrying with me lovely memories of the trip, not knowing what to do with all the photographed material I brought back with me… few months later this film was made with the help of a dedicated team |

Askowith also studied at the Jewish Institute of Religion (now the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion) in the 1920s, though she did not complete the rabbinical program. She later wrote, ""I took the work at the Institute because of my deep interest in Judaica and Hebraica rather than because I sought to enter the ministry though I hoped to open the road for women who might be desirous of being ordained."" She believed that nothing in Judaism meant women could not be rabbis, as she had found in doing |

Henry Adams (farmer) Henry Adams (1583–1646) was a British colonial farmer. He was a patrilineal ancestor of U.S. Presidents John Adams and John Quincy Adams. Henry Adams was born in Barton St. David (1583-1646) to John Adams (1555–1604) and Agnes Stone (1556–1616). He emigrated from Braintree, Essex in England to what soon became Braintree, Massachusetts in about 1632–1633. He married Edith Rosamund Squire on 19 Oct 1609 in Charlton Mackrell, Somerset, England and they had ten children. While his descendant President John Quincy Adams believed Henry Adams to have been born in Braintree, Essex, numerous records have shown Henry Adams |

The family emigrated to the United States not long after her birth and she spent her early years in the Boston area. In 1908 she earned a B.A. from Barnard College. In 1909 she earned an M.A. and in 1915 a PhD, both from Columbia University. Her doctoral dissertation was published as the book ""The Toleration and Persecution of the Jews in the Roman Empire: |

Wibault 12 Sirocco The Wibault 12 Sirocco or Wib 12 Sirocco was a two-seat, parasol wing fighter aircraft designed and built in France in the 1920s. Three fighter prototypes were completed, one for the RAF and two Army co-operation variants. There was no series production. The Wib 12 Sirocco, a single engine, two seat, parasol wing fighter was a structurally much revised development of the similarly configured Wib 8 Simoun, following it through the Avions Marcel Wibault works with less than a month between their maiden flights. They were externally very similar but the more refined structure of the Wib |

12 made it both stronger and 12% lighter than its predecessor. One major change was the replacement of the Wib 8's box spars with ones of I-section. The general design followed that of Wibault's family of single- and two-seat fighters, the Wib 3, Wib 7, Wib 8 and Wib 9 but in external detail was closest to the Wib 8. It was an all-metal aircraft, the structure mostly Duralumin and covered with narrow aluminium strips applied longitudinally. The parasol wing was straight edged and of constant chord, braced to the lower fuselage with a pair of parallel struts on each |
7646715 | "Wibault 12 Sirocco"
side which met the wing at about mid-span. The Wib 12 had a new pair of jury struts from the main wing struts to the wing underside for strengthening. There were cabane struts over the fuselage and a trailing edge cut-out in the wing over the pilot's cockpit to enhance his visibility. A pair of synchronised Vickers machine guns fixed to the fuselage fired forwards through the propeller arc; in addition the rear cockpit was fitted with a pair of Lewis guns of the same calibre on a Scarff ring. A braced tailplane was mounted towards the top of the |
7646716 | "Wibault 12 Sirocco"
fuselage, together with an angular fin and rudder. The Wib 12's engine, the same water-cooled V-12 Hispano-Suiza 12Hb type as used by the Wib 8, was totally enclosed and drove a two blade propeller. It was cooled by a retractable, half-cylindrical radiator on the fuselage underside at the back of the engine. Behind the engine the fuselage was flat sided. The fighter had a fixed conventional undercarriage with mainwheels on a split axle attached to the fuselage underside, supported by a pair of V-struts; there was a small tailskid. The Wib 12 and the Wib 121 (the first and second |
7646717 | "Wibault 12 Sirocco"
prototypes) were both flown for the first time in May 1926. The latter was about 8% faster in a climb to 4,000 m (13,125 ft) than the heavier Wib 8. The third aircraft, the Wib 122 was built for Vickers aircraft, with whom Wibault shared patents and collaborative designs. They fitted it with a W-12 Napier Lion XI engine and knew it as the Vickers Type 127. To avoid the central bank of cylinders the Vickers guns were moved from the fuselage top to the sides. Its test programme was interrupted by continual engine overheating problems. When the Service Technique |

7646720 | "George Shurley"
George Shurley Sir George Shurley (1569–1647) was an English-born judge who held the office of Lord Chief Justice of Ireland. Uniquely among the holders of that office, he ranked as junior to Chief Justice of the Irish Common Pleas in precedence. He was born at Isfield, Sussex, the second son of Thomas Shurley and his first wife Anne Pelham of Laughton Place, a daughter of Sir Nicholas Pelham and Anne Sackville (a first cousin to Anne Boleyn through her mother Margaret Boleyn). Sir John Shurley, the prominent politician and MP, was George's brother. Their great-grandfather, John Shurley, who held office |
7646721 | "George Shurley"
as Cofferer to Henry VIII, had acquired Isfield in the 1520s. George's birth date is sometimes given as 1559, but is likely to have been some years later as John, who was the elder of the two brothers, was probably born in 1568. He matriculated from Clare College, Cambridge in 1587, and was called to the Bar in 1597; he was a member of the Middle Temple and was made a Bencher in 1607. He was sent to Ireland as Lord Chief Justice in 1620, with a knighthood. He became Treasurer of the King's Inn, and a member of the |
7646722 | "George Shurley"
Privy Council of Ireland. He sat in the Court of Castle Chamber (the Irish equivalent to Star Chamber); but he had a reputation for being ""aloof"" and for refusing to meddle in politics, and he left little trace on the records of those bodies. He is known to have been outraged at being forced to yield precedence to Dominick Sarsfield, 1st Viscount Sarsfield, Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, a step which he termed ""a discourtesy never before offered to one in my position"". Apart from the issue of precedence, he could reasonably have complained at any honour being shown |
7646723 | "George Shurley"
to Sarsfield, a judge who was already notorious for corruption, which led to his eventual removal from the Bench, and who died in disgrace. Shurley is also said to have complained of being forced to go on assize in Ulster (possibly because of the appalling condition of the roads), although he was happy to take the Munster circuit, and appears to have been diligent in the exercise of his duties. In the disturbed period following the Irish Rebellion of 1641, he returned to England for a time and lived in Chester; but he owned a substantial mansion, Young's Castle in |
7646724 | "George Shurley"
Dublin, (no trace of which remains now), together with lands in County Carlow, and wished to spend his last years in Ireland. He returned to Ireland, and made a speech denouncing Confederate Ireland in 1644. Apparently despairing of life in Ireland, in 1646 he retired to Brightling in Sussex, where he died the next year. He was buried at St Margaret's Church, Isfield, with an impressive memorial. Shurley married Mary, daughter and heiress of Edward Halfhide of Aspenden, Hertfordshire. They had at least four sons and two daughters: two of their sons, Robert and Arthur, in turn inherited Isfield from |
7646725 | "George Shurley"
their uncle Sir John Shurley. One of George's daughters, Judith, married Sir Samuel Crooke, 2nd Baronet, son of Sir Thomas Crooke, 1st Baronet; Sir Thomas was the founder of Baltimore, County Cork. The other Shurley daughter Penelope married Francis Selwyn. While In Ireland Sir George Shurley took an Irish wife named Anna. After his time as Chief Justice he went back to England without Anna, returning to Mary and their family in England. Angry with George, Anna raised her children as an Irish bloodline, even though Sir George insisted on their noble bloodline. This is how the Irish ""Shurley"" family |
7646726 | "George Shurley"
came to be. Lady Shurley made her last will in April 1654, and may have died later the same year, as she refers in her will to her ""serious illness"". She owned property in both Ireland and Chester, the bulk of which she left to her daughter Penelope Selwyn. From the will it seems that of her other children, Arthur, Judith, and another son, Thomas were still living in 1654. Elrington Ball states that Shurley was not a judge of outstanding ability, but that he was impartial and conscientious, and noted for his refusal to engage in political controversy. He |

A moderately fast bebop song, it featured the trumpeter Fats Navarro, who is said to ""exhibit mastery of the difficult chord progression"". One author said, ""'Our Delight' is a genuine song, a bubbly, jaggedly ascending theme that sticks in one's mind, enriched by harmonic interplay between a flaming trumpet section led by Dizzy, creamy moaning reeds and crooning trombones. |

Indigo Lake (Ohio) Indigo Lake is a small, roughly triangular lake in Summit County, Ohio, in the United States. It is not a natural lake, having been created by the park service in Cuyahoga Valley National Park. It is a popular fishing location, with several species present including the Largemouth bass. Originally the site of Gray's Quarry, a gravel and sand pit, Indigo Lake came under the responsibilities of the National Park Service on December 27, 1974, with the creation of the Cuyahoga Valley National Recreation Area. The pit was later filled with water by park service personnel to create |

what was subsequently called ""Indigo Lake"", which remains in place sustained by a constant supply of water from several natural springs in the immediate area. It is situated entirely within the boundaries of Cuyahoga Valley National Park. It is one of only two places in the park closed to swimming. Although protected as part of the national park, the lake is a popular spot for local fishing. In addition, the lake, which normally freezes over in the colder months of the year, is used by the Akron Fire Department to practice under-ice rescue techniques each winter. It is accessible by |

Carla Carli Mazzucato Carla Carli Mazzucato (born 2 November 1935) is a 20th-century Italian artist whose contributions to the world of contemporary art help define the ""modern expressionist"" movement. Known for her unique style and bold color palette, her paintings are described by critics as “dynamic,” “graceful”, “timeless,” and have been compared to the masterworks of Chagall, Renoir, Monet and Van Gogh. Mazzucato's art is part of numerous collections in Europe, North America and Asia. Her commissioned work, ""Evening at the Opera"" hangs in the Detroit Opera House and the artist's fourteen-painting contemporary interpretation of the Passion of Christ is |
7646738 | "Carla Carli Mazzucato"
part of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese collection installed in the church of Corpus Domini in Bolzano, Italy. Mazzucato was recognized as a leading contemporary artist by the SoHo Fine Arts Institute in New York City in 2000. Carla Carli Mazzucato was born in Appiano, a small town nestled in the Alps of northern Italy on November 2, 1935. She was the second of three children born to Anna Bella and Vigilio Carli, a local landowner who oversaw an expanse of orchards. He grew a successful business exporting apples and other fruits to Austria and Yugoslavia. Consequently, Carla spent much of |
7646739 | "Carla Carli Mazzucato"
her early youth surrounded by nature, accompanying her father on walks through the countryside and along the wooded timber trails of the mountains that rimmed the fertile Adige River Valley. The tranquility of Carla’s childhood was interrupted by the onset of World War II. Situated along the Adige River which flows through the Brenner Pass in the Alps, Appiano was squarely on the primary route into Italy from Austria and Germany. Allied bombing runs frequently targeted the railroad through the pass to disrupt Nazi Germany supply lines. At seven years of age, Carla’s days were often spent in the darkness |
7646740 | "Carla Carli Mazzucato"
of the bomb shelters built into the mountain sides. Although Italy signed the armistice with the Allied Forces in 1943, Germany responded by annexing the Alto Adige region, prolonging the fighting there through 1945. With the end of the war, came a period of rebuilding, but for young Carla, it marked the end of her childhood. Her father died in 1947; her mother soon after. Carla went to work to help support her family. She continued her studies independently and eventually went on to attend the Ca' Foscari Academy in Venice and the Università Cattolica in Milan. In 1962, she |
7646741 | "Carla Carli Mazzucato"
was introduced to the brother of a classmate, and shortly thereafter traveled to America to make a new home with her husband, Giuseppe Mazzucato. Carla began her life in the United States in Chicago Heights, Illinois. There, she learned English, started a family and she began to paint. Though her early work relied more on her classical training, she was greatly influenced by the paintings of French expressionist Georges Rouault. Her own personal style evolved, and by the time she moved to the Detroit, Michigan, area in 1966, her art embraced qualities of both expressionism and impressionism. Mazzucato’s work was |
7646742 | "Carla Carli Mazzucato"
first exhibited in 1969. In 1977, she opened an art gallery in Grosse Ile, Michigan, where she taught and helped to promote and exhibit the work of other artists as well as her own. By 1982, Mazzucato’s work began appearing regularly in New York City. Her paintings were well received by both the public and critics alike who noted that “...this serious and talented artist has quite a range of expression in an art that is a complex of powerful forces.” Mazzucato and her art began to travel the country. Exhibits in Dallas, Chicago and Palm Springs introduced her work |
7646743 | "Carla Carli Mazzucato"
to enthusiastic patrons, as she gained recognition as a leading contemporary artist. “Her art conveys an ultimate optimism in the nature of man, and her figures seem to walk towards an indefinite horizon in the hope of finding that moment of truth and peace.” In 1990, Mazzucato’s first large-scale commission, a series of fourteen oil paintings depicting the passion of Christ, was completed for the Roman Catholic Archdiocese and installed in the Church of Corpus Domini in Bolzano, Italy. Mazzucato traveled extensively as part of her method of artistic immersion. She journeyed through Spain and France, Poland and re-emergent Russia, |
7646744 | "Carla Carli Mazzucato"
painting the images and impressions that she, herself witnessed first hand. “In all of Mazzucato’s paintings, the spirit of wonder, silence and mystery permeate the landscapes, in an eloquent symphony of sensuous forms and color. Past, present and future are wed and captured in a moment.” Mazzucato exhibited works, born from her travels, in Bologna and Prato, Italy, in 1993 and 1996, and accepted invitations for shows in the SoHo district of New York City in 1996 and 1998. “Carla Carli Mazzucato is, first and foremost, honest with herself. Her paintings are drawn from her own perceptions of life—her impressions, |
7646745 | "Carla Carli Mazzucato"
uninfluenced by any socially imposed manner of thinking. She does not follow the current; hers is a truly free art, light-years from any set tradition. She paints a contemporary world rich with intense colors and hues that radiate optimism. Landscapes, compositions, flowers, all born from a truth interpreted by Mazzucato’s innate talent.” In 1999, Mazzucato’s commissioned painting, “Evening at the Opera” was unveiled in a gala event at the Opera House in Detroit, Michigan, where it remains on display. Showings of Mazzucato’s work continued into the new millennium. The Regional Society for the Arts in Appiano, Italy orchestrated a 61-painting |

The Bowers Museum in Santa Ana, California, presented her works in 2005, and the Prisma Galerie in Bolzano, Italy, hosted an exhibit of new paintings by the artist in 2006. An extensive archive of Mazzucato’s art can be found online, and various collections have been published in book form. The book, ""America—Celebration"", published in 2011, presents 61 paintings from the artist’s ""America"" series as a tribute to the United States, the artist’s adoptive country. A 2007 documentary film, ""An Artist’s Journey"" chronicles the life and art of Carla Carli Mazzucato. Carla Carli |

7646749 | "Quantum paraelectricity"
Quantum paraelectricity Quantum paraelectricity is a type of incipient ferroelectricity where the onset of ferroelectric order is suppressed by quantum fluctuations. From the soft mode theory of ferroelectricity, this occurs when a ferroelectric instability is stabilized by quantum fluctuations. In this case the soft-mode frequency never becomes unstable (Fig. 1a) as opposed to a regular ferroelectric. Experimentally this is associated with an anomalous behaviour of the dielectric susceptibility, for example in SrTiO.

Located within Peggy's Cove, Nova Scotia, it is one of the busiest tourist attractions in the province and is a prime attraction on the Lighthouse Trail scenic drive. The lighthouse marks the eastern entrance of St. Margarets Bay and is officially known as the Peggys Point Lighthouse. The classic red-and-white lighthouse is still operated by the Canadian Coast Guard, and is situated on an extensive granite outcrop at Peggys Point, immediately south of the village and its cove. This |
7646768 | "Peggys Point Lighthouse"
lighthouse is one of the most-photographed structures in Atlantic Canada and one of the most recognizable lighthouses in the world. Visitors may explore the granite outcrop on Peggys Point around the lighthouse; despite numerous signs warning of unpredictable surf (including one on a bronze plaque on the lighthouse itself), several visitors each year are swept off the rocks by waves, sometimes drowning. The first lighthouse at Peggys Cove was built in 1868 and was a wooden house with a beacon on the roof. At sundown the keeper lit a kerosene oil lamp magnified by a catoptric reflector (a silver-plated mirror) |
7646769 | "Peggys Point Lighthouse"
creating the red beacon light marking the eastern entrance to St. Margarets Bay. That lighthouse was replaced by the current structure, an octagonal lighthouse which was built in 1914. It is made of reinforced concrete but retains the eight-sided shape of earlier generations of wooden light towers. It stands almost high. The old wooden lighthouse became the keeper's dwelling and remained near to the current lighthouse until it was damaged by Hurricane Edna in 1954 and was removed. The lighthouse was automated in 1958. Since then, the red light was changed to white light, then to a green light in |
7646770 | "Peggys Point Lighthouse"
the late 1970s. Finally to conform to world standards the light was changed to red in 2007. The lighthouse used to contain a small Canada Post office in the lower level during the summer months serving as the village post office where visitors could send postcards and letters. Each piece of mail received a special cancellation mark in the shape of the lighthouse. However Canada Post closed the lighthouse post office in November 2009 citing mold growth as a safety hazard. The lighthouse at Peggys Cove was declared surplus by the Canadian Coast Guard in June 2010, along with almost |

First he contested a Liberal seat, the Stowmarket division of Suffolk in 1895, losing to the Conservatives. He then contested the marginal dual member seat of Plymouth in 1900 and finished in fourth place. He was then elected Liberal MP for the Melton Division of Leicestershire in 1906, gaining the seat from the Conservatives. This was the first occasion that Melton had been won by a Liberal since it was created in |

1885. He successfully defended Melton at the General Election of January 1910 by a majority of just 123 votes. However, he chose not to defend his seat at the December 1910 General Election. He did not stand for parliament again. He was elected to the London County Council as a Liberal Party backed Progressive candidate for St Pancras East in 1913. He was made a Member of the London War Pensions Committee in 1916. He served one full term as a Councillor until he was appointed an Alderman in 1919. He served as an Alderman until his death.

1912 by accepting all demands related to establishing the unified autonomous system of administration and justice for Albanians within one vilayet—the Albanian vilayet. The success of the Albanian revolt sent a strong signal to the neighbouring countries that the Ottoman Empire was weak. Besides, the Kingdom of Serbia opposed the plan for an Albanian vilayet, preferring a partition of the European territory of the Ottoman Empire among the four Balkan allies. In the meantime it was agreed that the conquered territory was to have the status of a Condominium. Albanian leaders, including Faik Konitza and Fan Noli, organized a large |
7646777 | "Independent Albania"
meeting on 7 October 1913 in Boston. They decided that Albanians should ""unite fully with the Ottoman government against the enemies of the Empire"" because ""if Turkey is defeated, the Balkan states would shred Albania."" That decision was risky, because if the Ottomans were defeated, Albanian participation in the Balkan war on the Ottoman side would serve as justification for the Balkan allies to partition Albania as an Ottoman province. Albanians who were mobilized in the Ottoman army fought for their country rather than for the Ottoman Empire. During the First Balkan War the combined armies of the Balkan allies |
7646778 | "Independent Albania"
overcame the numerically inferior and strategically disadvantaged Ottoman armies and achieved rapid success. They occupied almost all the remaining European territories of the Ottoman Empire including the territory of Albanian Vilayet. At the beginning of November 1912, Albanian leaders appealed to Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria-Hungary, explaining the difficult situation in their country because parts of the four vilayets were also claimed by the Balkan League who were present on the disputed lands. Austria-Hungary and Italy strongly opposed the arrival of Serbian army on the Adriatic Sea because they perceived it as a threat to their domination of the |
7646779 | "Independent Albania"
Adriatic and feared that a Serbian Adriatic port could become a Russian base. Ismail Qemali, who had been an Albanian deputy in the Ottoman parliament, secured the support of Austria-Hungary for the autonomy of Albania within the Ottoman Empire, but not for its independence. Ismail Qemali invited the representatives of all parts of Albanian Vilayet to attend the All-Albanian Congress held in Vlorë on November 28, 1912. At the beginning of the session, Ismail Qemali referred to the threatened Albanian rights gained during the Albanian revolts in the previous four years, and explained to the participants of the congress that |
7646780 | "Independent Albania"
they should do whatever was necessary to save Albania. After his speech they began by checking the documents because it was decided that each kaza of Albanian Vilayet would be counted as one vote, regardless of the number of its delegates. Participants of this congress are regarded as Founding Fathers of Albania. The first notification about the proclaimed independence was sent to the command of Serbian Army in Ohrid. On 29 November 1912, the army of the Kingdom of Serbia captured Durrës without any resistance and established Durrës County with four districts (): Durrës, Lezha, Elbasan and Tirana. New Serbian |

In December 1912, a delegation of Albania submitted a memorandum to the London Conference of 1913 insisting on the ethnic rights of Albanians and requested an international recognition of the independent Albania composed of Kosovo, western Macedonia including Skopje and Bitola and the whole territory of Epirus up to Arta. About 120 notable politicians and intellectuals from Albania attended the Albanian Congress of Trieste from 27 February to 6 March 1913 and requested from the Great Powers a recognition of the political and economical independence of Albania. Isa Boletini and Ismail Qemali travelled to London |
7646783 | "Independent Albania"
in March 1913 to obtain Britain's support for their new country. On March 6 Ioannina was captured by forces of the Kingdom of Greece. In March 1913 a group of 130 (or 200) soldiers of the Kingdom of Serbia were killed near Prizren by Albanian irregulars in act of revenge for repression of Serbian army. In April 1913 the army of the Kingdom of Serbia retreated from Durrës but remained in other parts of Albania. On the other hand, Kingdom of Montenegro managed to capture Shkodër on 23 April 1913 after six months of siege. However, when the war was |
7646784 | "Independent Albania"
over, the Great Powers did not award the city to the Kingdom of Montenegro, which was compelled to evacuate it in May 1913. In May 1913, delegates of Albania in London requested a British sovereign and considered offering the Albanian throne to Aubrey Herbert. The Great Powers did not fulfil the requests for recognition of Albania. At the beginning of the London conference in December 1912 the ambassadors of all six Great Powers rejected the plan for establishing an independent Albania. Instead, they decided that Albania would be under Ottoman suzerainty but with an autonomous government. After it became obvious |
7646785 | "Independent Albania"
that Ottoman Empire would lose all of Macedonia and its territorial connection with Albania, the Great Powers realized they had to change their decision. The Treaty of London, signed on 30 May 1913, partitioned significant part of territory claimed by Albania, regardless its ethnic composition, between the Balkan allies reducing the territory of Albania to its central regions. In September 1913 independent Albania secretly supported and helped Ohrid–Debar Uprising because Ismail Qemali thought that independent Albania was too weak to openly confront the Kingdom of Serbia.
