Bharatnatyam
Bharatnatyam is a classical Indian dance form that originates from that originates in the temples of Tamil Nadu. The dance form is a reconstruction os Sadir, the art of temple dancers devadasis. Lord Shiva as Nataraja is considered the God of this dance form. Today, it is one of the most popular and widely performed dance form practiced by male and female dancers all over the world. The original name of Bharatnatyam was Sadir, Chinnamelan and Dasi Attam. A possible origin of the Bharatnatyam is that it comes after Bharata Muni, the author of Natya Shastra. Another popular etymology (explanation of the name) holds “Bhavan” means expression, “ragam” means melody and “Talam” means rhythm, finally, “Natyam” means dance, so the dance which has Bhavan, Ragam and Talam is called Bharatnatyam.
Aspects of Bhratnatyam
Bharatnatyam is a solo dance with two aspects Lasya, the graceful and feminine aspects associated with Goddess Parvati and Tandava , the masculine and rigorous aspects associated with Lord Shiva.
Training of Bharatnatyam
The Bharatnatyam training has been given its present shape by the Tanjore brothers. It begins with the practice of Adavus and then the students are taught the Margam from Pushpanjli, Kautvam, Alarippu, Jatiswaram, Sabdam, Varnam, Padams, Tilina. After many years of training, a student can perform an “arangetram”, the first solo performance by a student. Bharatnatyam compositions are based on Carnatic Music system of Ragams and talams. It features graceful and assertive movements that are performed imaginary lines and geometrical patterns
Kathak
Kathak is a dance form that originates from Uttar Pradesh, North India. It is said that: “Katha kahe so kathak,” which means that ‘He who tells a story is a Kathak’. The Kathak or professional story-teller had a thorough knowledge of the epics and mythology, village legends and local beliefs. It is said that the kathak was so adept at this art that he often kept a whole village absorbed while he sat entertaining them.
Dancing style of Kathak
Kathak is characterised bt graceful movements, subtle expressions and sophisticated use of rhythm. Technical virtuosity and flamboyance is complimented by subtlety in the depiction of moods and emotions. Pure dance is the predominant feature of Kathak. In Kathak, the dancer addresses directly to the audience. The knees are not flexed outwards or forwards as in the other classical dance form of India. The feet, with ghungroos around the ankles, beat out a whole range of rhythmic sounds. Skill in rendering intricate beats is fundamental to the style.
History of Kathak
Although, Kathak was an established tradition as a medium of worship during the Vaishnava age, it started being performed in courts with the coming of the Mughals. The dancer moved from thr temple courtyards to the palace durbar and this brought changes on the presentation as we know it today. Kathak saw a great period of glory in the 19th century during the reign of Wajid Ali Shah, the last nawab of Awadh. It was under his patronage that the Lucknow gharana was established. The two other important gharanas in Kathak are the Jaipur gharana and the Banaras gharana. Dance in India |

In May, BBC reported that there had been two and a half billion views on a video-viewing platform, TikTok. A similar toy is the Dimpl, or a Simple Dimple, or Simpl Dimpl.

846693 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/12%20Years%20a%20Slave | 12 Years a Slave | 12 Years a Slave is a book written by Solomon Northup. It was published in 1853. It is a true story. Northup was a free black man living in New York before the American Civil War. He was kidnapped and sold as a slave to Louisiana in 1841. 12 Years a Slave was made into a movie in 2013.
History
In the 1840s, it was legal for people in Southern states to buy and sell enslaved people who had been born to enslaved mothers. But it was not legal to take a free person, pretend they were a slave, and sell that person. This is what happened to Solomon Northup.
After he was rescued in 1853, Solomon Northup traveled around the United States making speeches about his twelve years in the South. He did this because he wanted American voters to stop slavery. Later, he wrote down his speeches as a book. Editor David Wilson helped Northup write the book. Some people have asked whether Wilson wrote most of the book for Northup. But Wilson said that he heard Northup tell the story out loud many times without ever making a mistake or changing it and that he, Wilson, only helped Northup write it all down.
The book is true, but Northup and his publisher, Derby, were influenced by Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe, which was published one year earlier. The book is dedicated to Harriet Beecher Stowe. They marketed the book as "another Key to Uncle Tom's Cabin," meaning that, like Stowe's book, A Key to Uncle Tom's Cabin, it explained and supported Uncle Tom's Cabin, proving that Stowe had not lied about how bad slavery was.
For many years, people forgot about 12 Years a Slave. Historian Sue Eakin found a copy in 1930 when she was twelve years old. When she grew up, she collected proof that Northup's story was true. For example, she talked to people who had known Edwin Epps, and they said Epps had told them the story was true.
Structure
The first chapters of the book talk about Northup's family and his life as a free man in New York. He was married and had children. His wife was a cook. He had had many jobs, as a farmer and carpenter, but he could also play the violin well.
While his wife is away on a cooking job, Northup meets men who say they want him to travel with them as a musician. He agrees. He makes sure he has paperwork proving he is a free man before traveling with them to Washington D.C. But when they are in the city, the men drug him and steal the papers. He wakes up in a cell because they have sold him as a slave.
Northup is taken south on a boat. Some of the other captives have been slaves all their lives, but others are kidnapped free men like Northup. Some of them plan to take over the boat and escape, but then they get sick and cannot. Northup, who can read and write, writes a note to a white friend in New York saying what has happened to him. One of the sailors promises to mail it for him.
In the rest of the book, Northup talks about living as a slave, about the people he meets, about the work he does, and about what he does to try to get home. The slavers give Northup the fake name "Platt." Northup says that the first man who bought him, named Ford, was not very bad. But the second man who bought him, named Tibeats, was cruel. The third man, named Epps, was even worse. He would hit and whip slaves no matter what they did. He would wake them up and make them dance at night. The next day, Epps would beat them if they did not work as hard as if they had had a full night's sleep. Epps would force the slaves to beat and whip each other while he watched. Northup talks about coming back to his cabin to find his cabinmate, Abram, covered in blood because Epps had stabbed him with a knife. Northup talks about Patsey, a slave woman, whom Epps forces to have sex with him. Northup talks about how Epps' wife hates Patsey even though it was not her fault. One time, Patsey has gone to a friend to get a bar of soap. Epps forces Northup to whip Patsey.
Northup always wants to go home to his family in New York. Because he is legally a free man, his friends from New York can come and bring him home. Northup must find a way to tell them where he is. Northup tries to steal paper and ink so he can write a letter to his family in New York. But he cannot go to the post office to send a letter himself. He needs a white person to send the letter for him. The first man he asks tells Epps, and Northup barely manages to talk his way out of trouble. After some years, Northup finds a Canadian man who will send the letters for him. The Canadian does so.
Northup's friends and family get the letter. They talk to a white lawyer, Henry B. Northup, who talks to the governor of New York. Henry Northup is given official permission to go to Louisiana to look for Solomon Northup and bring him back to New York. Henry Northup travels to Washington D.C. to talk to a senator from Louisiana first then goes to Louisiana to talk to judges and officials. He has trouble finding Solomon Northup because he does not know he is being called "Platt." Eventually, they find the Canadian, who tells them Solomon Northup's fake name. Henry Northup finds Solomon Northup and shows the county sheriff proof that Solomon Northup really is a free man. Solomon Northup goes north with Henry Northup.
Solomon and Henry Northup stop in Washington D.C. and the men who kidnapped Solomon are put on trial. He is not allowed to testify. The men are not convicted. Then Solomon Northup goes home to his family.
Critical analysis
12 Years a Slave was a best seller. It sold 25,000 copies in the first two years. It was not as popular as Uncle Tom's Cabin but many people read it.

846803 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/99%20Bottles%20of%20Beer | 99 Bottles of Beer | "99 Bottles of Beer" is a sea shanty written around the mid-1900s. No one knows who wrote it. It is a backwards counting song in both the United States and Canada.
Lyrics
The words to the song are:
Alternative line:
If one of those bottles should happen to fall, 98 bottles of beer on the wall...
We repeat the line many times, with one less bottle each time. When there are no bottles left, a different line is used. Some lines that can be used for when there are no bottles are:
No more bottles of beer on the wall, no more bottles of beer.
Go to the store and buy some more, 99 bottles of beer on the wall...
Or:
No more bottles of beer on the wall, no more bottles of beer.
We've taken them down and passed them around; now we're drunk and passed out!
Other alternate lines read:
If that one bottle should happen to fall, what a waste of alcohol!
Or:
No more bottles of beer on the wall, no more bottles of beer.
There's nothing else to fall, because there's no more bottles of beer on the wall.
Sometimes, the song does not stop when there are 1 or no bottles of beer left. In this case, the song keeps going with -1, -2, -3, and so on bottles of beer.
Andy Kaufman routine
American comedian Andy Kaufman had a comedy bit where he would sing all 100 verses. This was considered funny because the song is not usually completed due to its length.
Atticus
Atticus, a band from Knoxville, Tennessee, recorded a version of the song in front of people. It took 13 and a half minutes. It was recorded at a Glasgow, Scotland bar called The Cathouse. It was included in the 2001 album Figment. Rich Stewart, also known as Barroom Rambler, called it the number one drinking song out of 86 in an article for Modern Drunkard Magazine.
Math versions
Donald Byrd has dozens of versions of the song. These versions are inspired by math topics. The songs written by himself and others, and some of them have been published. Byrd says that the collection is fun and a good way to teach about infinity. Among his versions are:Infinite bottles of beer on the wall,
infinite bottles of beer;
If one of those bottles should happen to fall,
infinite bottles of beer on the wall.Infinite bottles of beer on the wall,
infinite bottles of beer;
If finite bottles should happen to fall,
infinite bottles of beer on the wall.These two verses can be repeated forever.

Line #3: Pretend to eat while you sing 'Eating some most delicious bugs', then rub your belly while singing 'yum, yum!'.
Line #4: Hold one finger up to show the frog who fell off the log.

It refers to the pre-Hindu faith of the Meitei ethnic group. It incorporates various teachings from the Meitei scriptures. Meiteism is a large facet of the collective synthesis of believes known as Sanamahism.
Though Meiteism is treated as another name of Sanamahism, the later term has wider coverage of the traditional beliefs and practices of the hill tribesman communities also. The term was used during the Meitei revivalism movement to promote the ethnic religion of the Meitei people explicitly.
In every Meitei household, there is a sacred abode of God Sanamahi, called the Sanamahi Kachin.

846847 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege%20of%20Fort%20Bismarck | Siege of Fort Bismarck | Siege of Fort Bismarck (青島要塞爆撃命令, Chintao yôsai bakugeki meirei) is a 1963 Japanese war drama film directed by Kengo Furusawa, with special effects work by legendary SFX director Eiji Tsuburaya. The plot is about during World War I, Japanese planes assault a lone German enemy outpost.
The movie was shot in aspect ratio and cinemascope (TohoScope). Another film that was released this year is Zoku shachô gaiyûki (part of Shacho series), directed by Shūe Matsubayashi.
Overview
The film was set in World War One (1914-1918), which is rare for a Japanese movie. Based on the real Siege of Tsingtao. the story is about a group of young pilots of the Imperial Japanese Navy led a task team to destroyed the Germans communication posts, ammunition depots, and air-aircraft defenses, making way the Allied forces to captured the port city. These men were part of Japan's first naval aviator corp. In overseas countries like Europe and the United States, it was released under the title "Siege of Fort Bismarck."
In addition to the usual Japanese subtitles lined up in the corners of the screen, the lines of the German soldiers in the scenes are other works such as handwritten subtitles such as "The enemy is brave!" and "The bottom is brave!" The production is not seen in Germany.
For the filming, in addition to the elaborate miniature of the Farman MF.11 and Etrich Taube with a wingspan of 1 meter or more, a full-scale model for shooting the main story with a propeller rotating was produced. In both cases, the shooting was done in addition to the set, and on Mt. Fuji, it was filmed from a helicopter. The full-scale model of the Farman MF.11 seaplane was assembled by a craftsman specializing in gliders by borrowing the disassembled actual machine saved by the Japan Aeronautic Association and creating a restoration drawing. The seaplane carrier Wakamiya was also photographed using a cargo ship.
The scene on the ship was shot on the battleship "Mikasa" was preserved at Mikasa Park. The Fortress Bismarck set was a huge open set in Gotemba and was taken aerial shots from a helicopter. However, at the time of production, the position of the gunpowder was not from the helicopter, and the timing of shooting was about 4 out of 10 shots. The train model that appears at the climatic moment was custom-made in a steel miniature and was shot with an unmanned camera that was also partially used in Godzilla back in 1954. This miniature was exhibited at the 2012 event "Director Hideaki Anno Special Effects Museum Miniature Showa Heisei Techniques".
Plot
In 1914, The Great War began which was originated in the Balkan Peninsula and extended to the Far East. This is because Germany has occupied the Kiautschou Bay concession of China and made Qingdao a base for the invasion of Asia. Japan (who was part of the Anglo-Japanese alliance of 1902) is requested by Allied Powers (United Kingdom, France and Russia) to joined in the war and seized the base in Qingdao. However, a huge artillery batteries is placed at Fort Bismarck, and even the combined fleet that the Imperial Japanese Navy is proud of planning a operation, making it extremely difficult to capture the base. At that time, Admiral Katō Sadakichi, suddenly set up a task team in the early days of the flying corps stationed at the "Oppama Navy Aeronautical Research Institute" (追浜海軍航空術研究所, Oppama kaigun kōkū-jutsu kenkyūjo). The unit also consists of two Farman seaplanes, with Major Osugi as commander and a total of five pilots, including Shoji, who has never boarded an airplane before. These men would became the first task team to do such dangerous operation.
However, Osugi decides to sort for the survival of his unit. By late September, the seaplane carrier Wakamiya loaded up the biplanes on the deck, became the world's first aircraft carrier and headed for Qingdao. And finally, it's time for the first operation to destroyed the fortress. The Mo-type seaplane on which Osugi and Kunii were piloting was not in time for the bomb, and while bricks and five-inch nails, it started with the enthusiastic farewell of the crew.
While fitting in the air pocket and connecting the broken wire of Kunii on the wings, they managed to drop bricks and five-inch nails onto the German trenches from above to scout the fortress. However, the enemy Etrich Taube plane flies there and battled them. In contrast to the Taube, who is armed with a Maxim machine gun, the Mo-style plane has only a pistols for self-defense, and Taube, who provokes in aerobatic flight, is forced to disperse. After that, the squadron set up a base on Mount Putuo near the bay to prevent the danger of entering the base. Osugi responds to the request of the islanders, such as Yang Hakurei, the girl dancer Maki saved her from the predicament at a dance festival. However, a bottled letter reveals that the islanders has a spy among them.
And on the night of the festival, Hakurei's older brother, Zhao Hidetoshi, set fire to the junk boat and planned to sink the Wakamiya. While the fire armada junk approaches the seaplane carrier, Shoji jumps into the sea and is killed after being caught in a junk explosion while trying to change the bow of the boat, saving his team in the process. Hidetoshi was also shot dead by Ninomiya after calming he was a spy for the Germans. The headquarters demanded that Hakurei be punished by the island's troops, but Osugi and his fellow pilots refused to hand over her to the continent under Article 123 of the Fictitious Navy Criminal Code and they might get the information from her about the defense plan. Osugi devised a plan to drop a bomb hung on Unit 1 while Unit 2 on which the machine gunner was riding to distracted the Taube plane.
He sort out the ideas and executes the operation, but the bomb fails without hitting a single hit. Moreover, Unit 2, piloting by Ninomiya and Maki, managed to kill the Taube's machine gunner, but crashed after being hit by the engine. Ninomiya and Maki manged to escape to a general store, but the two who had the prize money are pushed out by German soldiers by the shop owner and become prisoners of war.
Hakurei, who appears in front of the two in the dungeon, sentenced them to death. However, on the way to the execution site, Hakurei escapes with them. On the other hand, one month has passed since the start of the capture of Qingdao had planned out, and as the German Far East Unit approached to the bay, there were many opinions that the fleet should also start a total attack without relying on aircraft. Admiral Kato realizes that the plane was premature and decides to demote the Wakamiya to a carrier and make a total attack. Meanwhile, only Maki returned to the Wakamiya. Osugi devise a strategy to take off the remaining one plane without a bomb, replenish fuel and explosives after landing on the shore, and then bomb the ammunition depot at Bismarck Fortress. Osugi commands the task team and lands, deceiving the eyes of the German soldiers and heading for the supply depot. However, at that time, the Wakamiya was sunk by a naval mine .The seaplane floating on the sea took off for the ammunition depot bombing with the encouragement of the drifting Wakamiya crew.

846894 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gluconeogenesis | Gluconeogenesis | Gluconeogenesis (GNG) is a chemical process in living bodies. In gluconeogenesis, the body turns fats and proteins (glucogenic amino acids) into sugars called glucose. In most animals with spines, gluconeogenesis happens in the liver, but some animals have gluconeogenesis in the kidneys. gluconeogenesis usually happens when the organism has not eaten many starches or sugars or eaten nothing at all for a long time. Not eating and not eating starch can cause ketosis, which is when some cells cannot use ketones for fuel.
Process
In humans, the main gluconeogenic compounds are lactate, glycerol (a part of the triglyceride molecule), alanine and glutamine. They are mostly involved in over 90% of the overall process.
Lactate comes back to the liver where it is converted into pyruvate by the Cori cycle using the enzyme lactate dehydrogenase. Pyruvate, the first designated substrate of the gluconeogenic pathway, can then be used to make glucose.
Fat is mostly broken down, but if there is no fat to break down, or the body cannot access the fat stores, then proteins found in the muscle can break down, resulting in muscle loss.
