847930 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/1976%20Tangshan%20earthquake | 1976 Tangshan earthquake | The 1976 Tangshan earthquake () was a natural disaster resulting from a magnitude 7.6 earthquake that hit the region around Tangshan, Hebei, People's Republic of China on 28 July 1976. It lasted for 23 seconds and leveled 90 percent of Tangshan’s buildings. The earthquake came during the heat of midsummer, and many stunned survivors crawled out of their ruined houses naked, covered only in dust and blood. The earthquake started fires and ignited explosives and poisonous gases in Tangshan’s factories. Water and electricity were cut off, and rail and road access to the city was destroyed. It is the deadliest earthquake in China and one of the deadliest earthquakes in the world and is among the top ten deadliest natural disasters in China.
At the 3:42 a.m., an earthquake measuring between 7.8 and 8.2 magnitude on the Richter scale flattens Tangshan, a Chinese industrial city with a population of about a million people. The Chinese State Seismological Bureau (SSB) Analysis and Prediction Department was very accurate with the prediction of the earthquake, with an estimate of a major earthquake in the Tangshan region between July 22 and August 5. Despite voicing concerns, the prediction was not taken seriously. A few counties that listened to the advised saved thousands of lives by evacuating to safer areas days before the earthquake occurred.
Death toll
According to the official statement from the seismological department, 242,000 people were killed and as many as 700,000 were injured. On the other hand, other resources claimed causalities as high as 650,000. More than 160,000 families were left homeless, and more than 4,000 children were orphaned.
Another reason why the death toll had increased to an extraordinary amount was because of the aftershocks that took place 16 hours after the first quake. The aftershocks were recorded to be as high as 7.1 on the Richter Scale, which not only hampered the rescue efforts but also added to the death toll. The Chinese government had not allowed foreign aid in the city, claiming that they were capable of handling the crisis on their own. In the crucial first week after the crisis, many died from lack of medical care. Troops and relief workers lacked the kind of heavy rescue training necessary to efficiently pull survivors from the rubble.

848026 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Another%20Simpsons%20Clip%20Show | Another Simpsons Clip Show | "Another Simpsons Clip Show" is the third episode of The Simpsons sixth season. It was first broadcast on the Fox network on September 25, 1994. In the episode, the Simpson family talk about romance using episodes before this one. The episode was written by Jon Vitti. David Silverman is the director of the episode. It is the second clip show of The Simpsons.
Story
Marge reads The Bridges of Madison County and thinks that her marriage with Homer is not romantic anymore. Homer does not believe what she thinks. On the next day, she tries getting the family to talk about romance. They can only remember times their many relationships did not work out. These are shown as parts from episodes before this one. Homer then tells the family how he and Marge met. Their children do not want to listen and watch television while Homer and Marge kiss.
Production
This is the second clip show episode of The Simpsons. The first clip show episode is "So It's Come to This: A Simpsons Clip Show" from the 4th season. "Another Simpsons Clip Show" was written by Jon Vitti. He went with the name "Penny Wise" in the closing credits because he did not want to be known for writing the clip show. The episode was directed by David Silverman. The episodes that were shown in the clip show were made by John Swartzwelder, Frank Mula, David Richardson, Jeff Martin, Bill Oakley, Josh Weinstein, Matt Groening, Sam Simon, Al Jean, Mike Reiss, Jay Kogen, Wallace Wolodarsky, Nell Scovell, David M. Stern, George Meyer, Conan O'Brien, Robert Cohen, Bill Canterbury, and Dan McGrath. The Fox network wanted the producers of The Simpsons to make clip shows. This was because they needed less money to make than a normal episode. Producers thought four episodes in each season should be clip shows. This was so that they would not be stressed out on making a season with more episodes than normal. However, this was not done becuase they thought fans would not like the clip shows. The Fox network thought this could happen at first because it would cost less to make a clip show but they would still get just as much money as a regular episode in syndication.
Reception
Many fans of The Simpsons think that clip shows are the worst episodes of the show. TV Squad thought that it was made in a way that was still "worth watching" and was similar to a slideshow, but "not quite as boring". Other critics said it was "not the worst" clip show and that "the episode title pretty much says it all". Colin Jacobson from DVD Movie Guide thought that the episodes shown were good but that the clip show was not necessary.
Lisa talks about how romance was taken in a "hostile takeover by Hallmark and Disney" and parts of it were later sold. This was used in studies on how organizations are shown in pop culture. The episode was talked about in Arab Strap's song "The First Big Weekend". One of the lyrics is "It was a really good episode about love always ending in tragedy except, of course, for Marge and Homer."

848075 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigrid%20the%20Haughty | Sigrid the Haughty | Sigrid the Haughty also known as Sigríð Storråda was Queen Consort of the North Sea Empire, (Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and England) from her marriage to Erik the Victorious, though Sigrid may have actually been married to Sweyn Forkbeard.
Sigrid's existence if widely disputed, Sigrid may have actually been a Polish Princess named Świętosława of Poland or possibly Sigrid could have been another Pole named Gunhilda of Wenden. It also is possible Sigrid, Gunhilda or Świętosława had not existed, and Erik married Aud Haakonsdottir.
Sigrid probably died in Norway, her daughter Estrid continued Sirgid's legacy by having a son who became future king of the Danes.
Description
According to the famous Swedish saga of Heimskringla, Sigrid was the daughter of Skolgar Toste and an unknown mother. Sigrid was described as beautiful but unforgiving and uninterested in marriage.
She was a sought after bride for her beauty, which annoyed Sigrid who was still very vengeful of her past.
Once when Olaf Tryggvason of Viken proposed to Sigrid, Sigrid accepted but Erik of Sweyn told Sigrid she would have to convert to Christianity. Sirgid who was a devout Pagan and worshiped the old gods of Germania, rejected. Olaf in fury lashes Sigrid a few times with a stick or glove, Sigrid warns Olaf this might lead to his death.
Sigrid eventually married either Erik the Victorious, or Sweyn Forkbeard and had 3 children, Olof, Emund and Estrid. The rest of Sigrid's life remains unknown and she probably died in Norway.

848119 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functionalism%20%28philosophy%20of%20mind%29 | Functionalism (philosophy of mind) | Functionalism in the philosophy of mind is the doctrine that what makes something a mental state of a particular type does not depend on its internal constitution. But rather on the way it functions, or the role it plays, in the system of which it is a part.
History
This doctrine is rooted in Aristotle's conception of the soul, and has antecedents in Hobbes's conception of the mind as a “calculating machine. But it has become fully articulated (and popularly endorsed) only in the last third of the 20th century. Though the term ‘functionalism’ is used to designate a variety of positions in a variety of other disciplines, including psychology, sociology, economics, and architecture, this entry focuses exclusively on functionalism as a philosophical thesis about the nature of mental states.

Gameplay
Mahjong is a game for four players that originated in China. It was called, meaning sparrow in ancient China, which is still the name most commonly used in some southern Chinese dialects such as Cantonese and Minnan, as well as in Japanese. However, most Mandarin-speaking Chinese now call the game má jiàng.
Mahjong involves skill, strategy, and calculation, as well as a certain degree of luck (depending on the variation played, luck can be anything from a minor to a dominant factor in winning). In Asia, mahjong is also popularly played as a gambling game. In the game, each player is dealt either thirteen or sixteen tiles in a hand, depending on the variation being played. On their turn, players draw a tile and discard one, with the goal of making four or five melds (also depending on the variation) and one pair, or "head". Winning comes "on the draw" by drawing a new or discarded tile that completes the hand. Thus, a winning hand actually contains fourteen (or seventeen) tiles.

After 10 years of left-wing government, the influence of the left began to decrease. In Argentina the conservative Mauricio Macri took the place of the Peronist Cristina Fernández de Kirchner in 2015. In Brazil there was Dilma Rousseff, who was impeached with Michel Temer taking her job in 2016. In Peru the conservative economist (person who studies economics) Pedro Pablo Kuczynski took the job of the President before him, Ollanta Humala. In Chile, the conservative Sebastián Piñera took the job of socialist Michelle Bachelet in 2018. In 2018 Jair Bolsonaro was elected President of Brazil, and in 2021, the conservative banker Guillermo Lasso was elected President of Ecuador.
These events in Latin America are similar to other happenings around the world, such as the election of Donald Trump as President of the United States in 2016. The increase of evangelicals in Latin America may have helped start up the conservative wave.

Reception
Roger Ebert from the Chicago Sun-Times gave The Swan Princess three out of four stars. Gene Siskel, Ebert's fellow movie critic, gave the movie a substandard review. He labeled the songs in the movie weak. Under Rotten Tomatoes, The Swan Princess has a 50% approval rating.

848258 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palaeognathae | Palaeognathae | The Palaeognathae, or paleognaths (from Ancient Greek palaió- "old" + gnáthos "jaw") is one of two living clades of birds: the other is the Neognathae. Together, the two clades make up the clade Neornithes.
Palaeognathae includes five living branches of flightless birds (plus two extinct clades), called ratites, and one flying lineage, the Neotropic tinamous. There are 47 species of tinamous, five of kiwis (Apteryx), three of cassowaries (Casuarius), one of emus (Dromaius) (another emu became extinct in historic times), two of rheas (Rhea) and two of ostriches (Struthio).
Recent research has shown that palaeognaths are monophyletic but the traditional taxonomic split between flightless and flighted forms is incorrect. Tinamous are within the ratite radiation. Flightlessness arose independently a number of times by parallel evolution.
There are three extinct groups that are undisputed members of Palaeognathae: the Lithornithiformes, the Dinornithiformes (moas) and the Aepyornithiformes (elephant birds).

848281 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesites | Mesites | Mesites are small birds which only occur on Madagascar. They are flighless, or near-flightless. There are three species, in two genera. The IUCN has classified them as near-threatened. The IUCN estimates that there are only about 145.000 birds left. They resemble doves in appearance.
Description
The mesites are forest and scrubland birds that feed on insects and seeds. The brown and white-breasted mesites forage on the ground, gleaning insects from the leaves and under them, as well as low vegetation. The subdesert mesite uses its long bill to probe in the soil. Other birds, such as drongos and flycatchers, will follow mesites to catch any insects they flush and miss. Mesites are vocal birds, with calls similar to passerine song, used for territorial defence. Two or three white eggs are laid in a stick-nest located in a bush or low branch. The Mesitornis species are monogamous while Monias benschi is polygamous and unlike the other two shows significant sexual dichromatism.
Systematics
There are two genera, Mesitornis (2 species) and Monias (subdesert mesite).
Historically, mesites phylogenetics relations were not very clear and have been allied with the Gruiformes, Turniciformes and Columbiformes.
Recent phylogenomic studies support Pterocliformes (sandgrouse) as the sister group of mesites while some more recent studies place this clade with another clade constituted of Columbiformes and Cuculiformes (cuckoos).

848347 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bugchasing | Bugchasing | Bugchasing is trying to get HIV through sex. People who try to get HIV are called bugchasers, and they are all men who have sex with men. It is not entirely understood why people try to get HIV, and bugchasing actions are hard to understand. It is rare.
Motivation and action
Bugchasers are men who have sex with men and purposely try to get HIV. It is not understood why this happens.
There are four common explanations.
First, it is thought that some men become bugchasers because they fear HIV infection, which had previously changed how they have sex. This can include things like men abstaining from sex entirely, only having sex with one person, or using sexual protection like condoms. Second, some men think having HIV is sexy. This means it can feel good to think about it, or that it is the ultimate taboo to overcome.
Third, bugchasers might think having HIV makes them part of a group.
And fourth, bugchasing might be an action against heteronormativity, the idea that everyone is heterosexual. The idea is that bugchasers do not achieve some expectations placed on them, including safe sex. There is a fifth possible reason—suicide—but this is not clear or very helpful.
Either way, people only rarely call themselves bugchasers, and they only try to get HIV even more rarely. This behavior does not entirely fit in with their identity. This means that bugchasing actions are rarely based on persons known to have HIV and having sex with them. Instead, a lot of bugchasers have sex in ambiguous situations, where they do not know if their partners have HIV. In 2005, researchers said there was no empirical evidence that bugchasing existed; they said that bugchasing as an idea and an activity existed, but it was rare.

848385 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mermaid%20Prism | Mermaid Prism | Mermaid Prism, is an visual novel video game for the PlayStation 2. The game was developed by Vingt-et-un Systems and published by D3 Publisher exclusively in Japan on October 26, 2006.
Gameplay
A visual novel is an interactive fiction game, featuring mostly static graphics, most often using anime-style art or occasionally live-action stills (and sometimes video footage). As the name might suggest, they resemble mixed-media novels. In Japanese terminology, a distinction is often made between visual novels proper (abbreviated NVL), which consist predominantly of narration and have very few interactive elements, and adventure games (abbreviated AVG or ADV), which may incorporate problem-solving and other types of gameplay. This distinction is normally lost outside Japan, where both NVLs and ADVs are commonly referred to as "visual novels" by international fans. Visual novels and ADVs are especially prevalent in Japan, where they made up nearly 70% of the PC game titles released in 2006. Visual novels are distinguished from other game types by their extremely minimal gameplay. Typically the majority of player interaction is limited to clicking to keep the text, graphics and sound moving (most recent games offer "play" or "fast-forward" toggles that make even this unnecessary). Most visual novels have multiple storylines and many endings; the gameplay mechanic in these cases typically consists of intermittent multiple-choice decision points, where the player selects a direction in which to take the game.
Development
Simple 2000 Series Vol.122 - The Ningyo Hime Monogatari - Mermaid Prism is a japanese dating sim, this female-targeted love simulation puts players in the role of a high school student that one day gets warped to a separate world, becoming a mermaid along the way!

848397 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internationalist%20Theatre | Internationalist Theatre | Internationalist Theatre is a multi-racial and multi-national London theatre company founded by Angelique Rockas in April 1981 to perform great plays (usually cast with actors with standard English and cockney accents )performed by actors from all races and nationalities performing in their own country`s accent. The Stage. The company was originally named New Internationalist Theatre.
Resistance to diversity casting was expressed by 'Time Out ' magazine with regard to 'Mother Courage', "the casting only inspires a whole host of irreverent questions: what on earth, say, is an American sergeant doing in seventeenth century Europe? And how did a Pakistani chaplain get into the Swedish army?" The Pakistani actor referred to was the Asian Parsi actor Renu Setna. The Financial Times questioned 'Liolà'`s multi-national casting "do we really need this peculiar medley of Italian accents for the English premiere? The problem is compounded by the commitment ... to a multi-national cast ... English, German, Sicilian, and Italian actors produce widely differing versions of the Latin lilt".
Internationalist Theatre was granted charity status in 1986.
Productions
Griselda Gambaro`s The Camp (October,1981), an anti-junta protest play which "relentlessly exposes and explores the psychology of fascism ... draws its political parallels by reference to Nazi concentration camps ... it`s incredible theatre" . "espectacular debut ... excelentemente actuado ... Emma ... al artista humillado y mutilado por la repression ... es en definitiva el grito primordial de Gambaro en esta impactante obra " (translation Emma ... the artist humiliated and mutilated by repression ... is the definitive primal cry of Gambaro."
Jean Genet, The Balcony (July 1981): "a comment on power and political manoeuvre ... While the ruling classes, the icons and figureheads fiddle, society burns around them". The "production uses Theatre Space to its limits, Characters are not restricted to just the stage area; they leap out of the wall, appear from the audience so that there is no separation between the players and spectators. We are all voyeurs participating in Genet`s games. The surroundings of Theatre Space conspire to enhance the atmosphere of sleaze , a quality that eluded the last London production by the RSC". "L`atmosphere louche et malsaine est tres bien recreee par le New Internatlionalist theatre. Et s`ils sont aussi vivants et revelateurs les jeunes talents que on ne peut que s`en rejouir ... Ellen Thomas est pleine d`autorite dans le role de Madame Irma".
Bertolt Brecht, Mother Courage and Her Children (1982 May)" "whose attack on the practice of war could not- with south atlantic news filling the front pages- have been more topical...prompted the questions it should." Performed in a London basement theatre located in old disused Charing Cross hospital, the Evening Standard observed that viewing three hours of Brecht in such an environment "might sound like noble endurance indeed ... but the Internationalist Theatre production of Mother Courage at the Theatre Space is not to be so lightly dismissed ... the serious straight forward workmanlike performances by actors who are prepared to let the play speak for itself"."The cast ... is made from experienced actors from all over the world, and perhaps their very cosmopolitanism helps to bring out new textures to a familiar dish "
Luigi Pirandello, Liolà (July 1982): "It opened with a satiety of womens` gossip. some of it not very easy to follow with the various accents of the New Internationalist Theatre. But it picked up wonderfully" observed The Daily Telegraph "The pleasures of the performance with its occasional songs based on ballads and tarantellas, lay in the village vitality, the lusty folk element ... and the children romped about deliciously. A very good evening of an unusual kind". kind." "Il successo e stato particolarmente vivo e le recensioni della stampa molto positivo".
Tennessee Williams, In the Bar of a Tokyo Hotel,(July 1983): "director ..dug powerfully into the nature of these 4 characters ... Stewart Laing`s designs caught just the right feel of an expensive impersonal hotel ... It was not a nice play, but the Internationalist Theatre players set up the bleakness of its atmosphere and held it taut!" "enjoyed the play `as a very characteristic and vibrant example of ... Williams` writing. The whole performance was very fine".
August Strindberg, Miss Julie,(January 1984): "I have not seen a better production of Strindberg`s Miss Julie than the Internationalist Theatre`s staging. ... It is wild and raw, steeped in emotion and dramatic drive,like the play itself, and reveals the aristocratic Julie and the servant Jean in all their vivid colouring and depth of corruption"."Det blir ... en forestallning som ibland lyckas overflytta den Strindbergska till Hampstead . Specialkomponerad musik bidrar till atmosfaren." (it will be a show that sometimes manages to move it from Strindbergska to Hampstead. Specially composed music contributes to the atmosphere)
Maxim Gorky, Enemies, (March 1985): "this is a great revolutionary play, by a great revolutionary writer, performed with elegance and style, great passion and commitment". Gorky`s "pseudo-populism" is done away with in this production by the actors speaking "without distinctive accents and consequently without populist sentiment". "every member of the huge cast ... sensitively and unobtrusively deployed by their director, Ann Pennington, each one of whom deserves more than a line or two of critical praise. A fine production of a great play- Don`t miss it!"
"Internationalist Theatre staged dramas written in " continental, non-realistic, symbolically orientated drama of this century (20th) and ... proved most uncongenial to the tunnel visioned repertoire builders" of British theatre of that period." Nicolas de Jongh, The Guardian

Murder
Allegedly, she was murdered for releasing valuable parrots from their cages. Evidence such as 'older scars and marks' suggest Shah had been repeatedly abused while working for Siddiqui and Kulsoom, and 'wounds on her thighs' were 'consistent with sexual assault'.
Aftermath
Siddiqui and Kulsoom were arrested and put on judicial remand.
