Streicher learned the piano making craft from his parents, Nannette Streicher and Johann Andreas Streicher who were well-known German-Austrian piano makers. He became a partner in the family business in 1823. Composer Johannes Brahms owned one of the Streicher's pianos and was very fond of it. He expressed his admiration in a letter to a German pianist Clara Schumann: "There [on my Streicher] I always know exactly what I write and why I write one way or another”. In 1896 Streicher's son, Emil, sold the family business to the brothers Stingl. Since the end of the XX century the interest in period instruments have been growing, and contemporary piano makers started creating replicas of Streicher's pianos.

855024 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/University%20of%20Leipzig%20Medical%20Center | University of Leipzig Medical Center | The University of Leipzig Medical Center () is one of the oldest university hospitals in Germany. With 1,450 beds and over 6,000 workers (including the medical faculty) in 29 clinics and polyclinics, eight institutes and seven departments, it is the largest hospital in Leipzig, Saxony.
Locations
Most of the facilities at the University Hospital are located on their own premises southeast of the city center in the Zentrum-Südost district - the Medical Quarter or Clinic Quarter on Liebigstrasse. The boundaries are Johannisallee, Sternwartenstrasse, Nürnberger Strasse and Philipp-Rosenthal-Strasse. The clinics can be reached by local public transport operated by LVB and by S-Bahn from the Bayerischer Bahnhof, Ostplatz and Johannisallee stops. Other locations include Semmelweisstrasse and Härtelstrasse.
History
The Medical Faculty of the University of Leipzig was founded in 1415, a few years after the university itself was founded in 1409. As at all European universities, medical knowledge was initially disseminated in a purely theoretical manner. The first step towards modern, scientifically based medicine was taken in 1704 with the establishment of the first anatomical theater (Theatrum anatomicum) by Johann Christian Schamberg . In 1799 the "Institute for Clinical Education" was founded in the Jakobshospital, where patient examinations, surgical demonstrations and dissection exercises took place for the first time. Johann Christian August Heinroth was appointed to the world's first chair for "psychological therapy" ( psychiatry ) in 1811. The current main location of the medical faculty in Liebigstrasse was founded in 1871 by Carl Reinhold August Wunderlich and Carl Thiersch as the “St. Jakob Municipal Hospital”. In 1889 the landmark of the medical district was opened with the “ Red House”. In the period from approx. 1880 to the Second World War, medicine experienced its greatest heyday at the University of Leipzig. With researchers like Paul Flechsig, Carl Ludwig and Wilhelm His, Leipzig was one of the world's leading centres of scientific teaching and research. In 1891 Otto Heubner founded the University Children's Clinic. Large parts of the medical district were destroyed during World War II. The first post-war building was opened in 1956 with the Institute for Anatomy; all other institutes were gradually rebuilt. In 1953 the St. Jakob Hospital was transferred to the university. The department for inpatient psychotherapy and psychosomatic medicine, founded in 1953, was one of the first in Germany. Almost all clinics and institutes have been built or completely renovated since 1990. The hospital, which founded the first clinic for cardiovascular surgery in Europe in 1961, no longer has its own cardiac surgery department, as the private heart center in Leipzig in the Probstheida district has been a university clinic since 1994, according to a contract between the State of Saxony and Rhön-Klinikum AG. Up to the opening of the Center for Conservative Medicine in November 2008, around 350 million euros had been invested in the Liebigstrasse location. By around mid-2009, all departments moved from the old ward block to the new clinic buildings.
The hospital building built in 1983 was demolished in 2013, and new buildings will later be built on the area.
Medical treatment
It is a maximum care hospital. It has 1,350 fully inpatient and 101 part inpatient beds. In 2018, 374,020 outpatients and 56,591 inpatients were treated. The turnover in 2018 was 457 million euros. The hospital has several certified treatment units: the largest stroke unit in Saxony (12 beds), a colon cancer center and one of the first skin cancer centers in Germany. The José Carreras Transplant Unit at the Department of Hematology and Internal Oncology is one of the best-known funding beneficiaries of the German José Carreras Leukemia Foundation .
Research
The main research areas of the University Hospital are neurosciences, endocrinology, immunology, molecular oncology and psychosocial medicine. There are collaborations with a number of local research institutes such as the Max Planck Institute for Cognitive and Neurosciences, the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, the Fraunhofer Institute for Cell Therapy and Immunology, the Helmholtz Center for Environmental Research - UFZ and Bio City Leipzig.
Blood bank
In 1962 the district institute for blood donation and transfusion was founded, which in 1991 merged with the university blood donation service to form today's institute for transfusion medicine. The blood bank brand was introduced in 2002 to differentiate the institute from other blood donation services. With currently 92 employees, it has two branches in Grünau and Paunsdorf in addition to the institute's location in the clinic district (center) and an acceptance point in the north (Gohlis Park). There are also around 160 external appointments in the region every year. As the largest university facility for transfusion medicine in Germany, the blood bank collects 55,000 whole blood donations, 12,000 plasma donations and 5,400 platelet donations every year.
Organ donation scandal
At the beginning of January 2013 it became known that there had been irregularities in the allocation of donor organs in 2010 and 2011 at the hospital. The investigative commission of the German Medical Association and the internal auditing department of the hospital found that the health status of at least 37 of 54 patients had been deliberately shown worse in the context of liver transplants, so that they could be assigned a replacement organ more quickly. In the course of the investigation, the chief physician of transplant surgery and two senior physicians were given leave of absence for the time being. In July 2015, after the investigation was completed, the Leipzig public prosecutor brought charges against the two senior physicians, as they allegedly manipulated patient files in 2010 and 2011. The preliminary investigation against the clinic's chief physician was discontinued without any conditions; no involvement was proven.

It is now part of Arizona and New Mexico, south of the Gila River and west of the Rio Grande. Its size was . The United States paid Mexico 10,000,000 dollars, which is worth 230,000,000 dollars in 2019 money. This trade was officially called the Treaty of Mesilla.
Background
The Mexican-American War had ended in 1848. The United States won the war. Both countries agreed to the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, which gave the United States a very big part of Mexico: the Mexican Cession, an area of more than . In return, the United States paid Mexico 15,000,000 dollars.
After 1848, Mexico and the United States did not agree where the border was. Both countries claimed the Mesilla Valley as part of their own country. Businessmen from the southern states wanted to build a new transcontinental railroad that would cross the southern part of the country. They wanted the railroad to go through the Mesilla Valley. Jefferson Davis, who at that time was the US Secretary of War, supported that idea. James Gadsden was sent to buy the land from Mexico. He wanted to buy much more land, including Tamaulipas, Coahuila, Nuevo Leon, and parts of Chihuahua and Sonora, but the Mexican president, Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, did not want to sell it to him.
Establishment of purchase
A treaty was signed on December 30, 1853. This treaty would have given to the United States and 15,000,000 dollars to Mexico. Many US Senators did not agree with this: they wanted to buy less land. On April 25, 1854, the US Senate accepted the new, smaller purchase. President Franklin Pierce signed the treaty, and then sent it to President Santa Anna, who signed it on June 8, 1854. Many Mexicans were angry with Santa Anna after he signed the treaty.

855037 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autoscopy | Autoscopy | Autoscopy is a term used for a sensation where a person perceives the environment from a different perspective, from a position "outside" of their own body. The term is derived from Ancient Greek: (, "self") and (, "watcher").
Autoscopy has interested people for almost as long as there are records: There are many stories in folklore and which involve autoscopy. This applies both to ancient and modern societies. Psychiatrists commonly come in contact with cases of autoscopy. According to neurological research, autoscopic experiences .
Factors
Usually, the following is true:
disembodiment: The person feels that their location is "outside the body"
People see the world from a distanced perspective, from "above". Nevertheless, the focus is still on the person.
People also see their body from that perspective (which is called "autoscopy")
Theis made of the Greek words ("self") and ("looking at"). The autoscopic phenomenon is classified in the following six typologies: autoscopic hallucination, he-autoscopy or heautoscopic proper, feeling of a presence, out of body experience, negative and inner forms of autoscopy.
The Laboratory of Cognitive Neuroscience, École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Lausanne, and the Department of Neurology, University Hospital, Geneva, Switzerland, have reviewed some of the classical factors of autoscopy. These are sleep, drug abuse, and general anesthesia as well as neurobiology. They have compared them with recent findings on neurological and neurocognitive mechanisms of autoscopy; the reviewed data suggest that autoscopic experiences are due problems with processing information at the temporoparietal junction.
Related disorders
Heautoscopy is a term used in psychiatry and neurology for the hallucination of "seeing one's own body at a distance". It can occur as a symptom in schizophrenia and epilepsy. Heautoscopy is considered a possible explanation for doppelgänger phenomena.
The term polyopic heautoscopy refers to cases where more than one double is perceived. In 2006, Peter Brugger and his colleagues described the case of a man who experienced five doubles resulting from a tumor in his left temporal lobe.
Another related autoscopy disorder is known as negative autoscopy (or negative heautoscopy). This is a psychological phenomenonwere the sufferer does not see their reflection when looking in a mirror. Although the sufferer's image may be seen by others, they claim not to see it.

855049 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markook%20%28bread%29 | Markook (bread) | Markook bread (), also known as khubz ruqaq (), shrak (), khubz rqeeq (), mashrooh (), and saj bread (), is a Middle Eastern type of unleavened flatbread. It is commonly eaten in the Levant and the Arabian peninsula. It is baked on a convex metal griddle (a saj) or in a tannour.
Markook shrek is a type of thin bread. The dough is unleavened and usually made with only flour, water, and salt. After it is rested, it is divided into round portions, flattened and spread across a round cushion until it is thin then flipped onto the saj. It is often folded in bags before it is sold.
It is commonly compared to another Middle Eastern bread known as pita, although it is much larger and thinner. In some Arab countries, such as Yemen, different names are given for the same flatbread, such as khamir, maluj and ṣaluf, depending on the regional dialects.
Etymology
Markook مرقوق comes from the Arabic word raqiq رقيق meaning delicate, and raqiq رقيق also comes from the Verb Raq رق.

855119 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matilda%20effect | Matilda effect | The Matilda effect is a type of bias. The Matilda effect is when a woman scientist does something but people think a man scientist did it. Sometimes people do this on purpose, for example when a professor steals a female student's research and puts his own name on the paper. Sometimes people do this without thinking about it.
History
Suffragist and abolitionist Matilda Joslyn Gage (1826–98) was the first person to write about this effect. She wrote an essay, "Woman as Inventor." It was first published as a tract in 1870 and in the North American Review in 1883. The term "Matilda effect" was started in 1993 by science historian Margaret W. Rossiter.
Rossiter wrote about several times the Matilda effect had happened in real life. Trotula (Trota of Salerno), a 12th-century Italian woman physician, wrote books which, after her death, were rewritten with male authors' names on them. Nineteenth- and twentieth-century cases of the Matilda effect include those of Nettie Stevens, Lise Meitner, Marietta Blau, Rosalind Franklin, and Jocelyn Bell Burnell.
Comparison
The Matilda effect was compared to the Matthew effect. The Matthew effect is when a famous scientist gets more credit than a less famous scientist even if they both did the same work.
Research
In 2012, two woman researchers from Radboud University Nijmegen did a study. They looked at men and women who were being picked to be professors at universities. They found the people choosing who would become a professor were affected by whether the person they were looking at was a man or a woman. Another study in Italy Italian and another in Spain showed the same thing.
However, some other studies found no difference between the number of times men and woman researchers' papers had been named as sources in other papers.
Swiss researchers found that when people in mass media, for example newscasters, want to put a scientist on their show, they talk to male scientists more than to female scientists.
According to one U.S. study, "although overt gender discrimination generally continues to decline in American society," "women continue to be disadvantaged with respect to the receipt of scientific awards and prizes, particularly for research."
Examples
Examples of women to whom to the Matilda effect happened:
Theano of Crotone, (6th century BC) - early philosopher who did work in mathematics, but people thought her husband, father, or teacher had done all the work (depending on the source) Pythagoras
Trotula (Trota of Salerno, 12th century) – Italian physician, author of works which, after her death, people said had really been written by men. Some people were so against women being teachers and healers that they said Trotula had never really lived. At first, people said her husband and son wrote her work, but later, monks confused her name for that of a man. She is not in the "Dictionary of Scientific Biography"
Jeanne Baret (1740–1807) – French botanist, first woman to have traveled all the way around Planet Earth. Partner and collaborator of the botanist Philibert Commerson, she joined the expedition of Louis-Antoine de Bougainville disguised as a man. They collected the first specimens of Bougainvillea plants. Most botanical discoveries have been attributed to Commerson alone, after whom about a hundred of species have been named. She was immortalized for the first much later with the description of in 2012.
Nettie Stevens (1861–1912) – Discoverer of how chromosomes make living things male and female. Her studies of mealworms showed for the first time that a living thing's sex is caused by its chromosomes and not by its environment. Stevens greatly influenced the scientific community's transition to this new idea: chromosomal sex determination. However, Thomas Hunt Morgan, a distinguished geneticist at the time, is generally credited with this discovery. Even though she did a great deal of work in genetics, Stevens' contributions to Morgan's work are often disregarded.
Mary Whiton Calkins (1863–1930) – Harvard University Discovered that stimuli that were given to a test subject at the same time as other stimuli would be easier for that person or animal to remember. She also found that subjects remembered things better if they saw or otherwise experienced them for a longer time. Georg Elias Müller and Edward B. Titchener used Calkins' research findings for their own work without giving her any credit.
Gerty Cori (1896–1957) – Nobel-laureate biochemist, worked for years as her husband's assistant, even though they were both equally qualified for the job.
Rosalind Franklin (1920–58) – Now recognized as an important part of the 1953 discovery of DNA structure. Francis Crick and James Watson both won the 1962 Nobel Prize, and they did not tell people how they had used Franklin's research findings to help their own work. In 1968, Watson talked about how important Franklin was in his book The Double Helix).
Marthe Gautier (born 1925) – She helped discover that Down syndrome is caused by a problem with the 21st chromosome. People used to think Jérôme Lejeune did it alone.
Marian Diamond (born 1926) – Working at the University of California, Berkeley, discovered brain plasticity. Before that, scientists thought the brain was not plastic. When her 1964 paper was about to be published, she saw that the names of her two secondary teammates, David Krech and Mark Rosenzweig, had been placed before her name, and her name was only there in parentheses. She protested that she had done the essential work described in the paper, and her name was then put in first place without parentheses. This problem is in a 2016 documentary film, My Love Affair with the Brain: The Life and Science of Dr. Marian Diamond.
Harriet Zuckerman (born 1937) – Zuckerman was also credited by husband Robert K. Merton as co-author of the concept of the Matthew effect.
Programmers of ENIAC (dedicated 1946) – Several women did large parts of this project: Adele Goldstine, Kay McNulty, Betty Jennings, Betty Snyder, Marlyn Wescoff, Fran Bilas and Ruth Lichterman, but most histories of ENIAC have not talked about what they did. Instead, they focus on hardware accomplishments rather than software accomplishments.
Times men scientists had Nobel Prizes when women scientists did not:
In 1934, the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded to George Whipple, George Richards Minot, and William P. Murphy. They said their female co-worker, Frieda Robscheit-Robbins should have gotten it with them but didn't because she was a woman. Whipple shared the prize money with her because she was co-author of almost all of Whipple's scientific papers.
In 1944 the Nobel Prize in Chemistry was given to Otto Hahn as the sole recipient. Lise Meitner had worked with Hahn and had laid the theoretical foundations for nuclear fission (she coined the term "nuclear fission"). Meitner was not recognized by the Nobel Prize Committee, partly due to her gender and partly due to her persecuted Jewish identity in Nazi Germany. She was affected by the Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service, which prohibited Jews from holding government-related positions, including in research. Initially, her Austrian citizenship shielded her from persecution, but she fled Germany after Hitler's annexation of Austria in 1938.
In 1950, Cecil Powell received the Nobel Prize in Physics for his development of the photographic method of studying nuclear processes and for the resulting discovery of the pion (pi-meson). Marietta Blau did pioneering work in this field. Erwin Schrödinger had nominated her for the prize along with Hertha Wambacher, but both were excluded.
In 1956, two American physicists Tsung-Dao Lee and Chen Ning Yang, predicted the violation of the parity law in weak interactions and suggested a possible experiment to verify it. In 1957, Chien-Shiung Wu performed the necessary experiment in collaboration with National Institute of Standards and Technology and showed the parity violation in the case of beta decay. The Nobel Prize in Physics in 1957 was awarded to the male physicists and Wu was omitted. She received the Wolf Prize in 1987 in recognition for her work.
In 1958, Joshua Lederberg shared a Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with George Beadle and Edward Tatum. Microbiologists Joshua Lederberg and his wife Esther Lederberg, along with Beadle and Tatum, developed replica plating, a method of transferring bacterial colonies from one petri dish to another, which is vital to current understanding of antibiotic resistance. However, Esther Lederberg was not recognized for her vital work on this research project; her contribution was paramount to the successful implementation of the theory. Furthermore, she did not receive recognition for her discovery of the lambda phage or for her studies on the F fertility factor that created a foundation for future genetic and bacterial research.
In the late 1960s, Jocelyn Bell Burnell (born 1943) discovered the first radio pulsar. For this discovery, in 1974 a Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to her supervisor Antony Hewish and to Martin Ryle, citing Hewish and Ryle for their pioneering work in radio-astrophysics. Jocelyn Burnell was left out. A Ph.D. student at the time of her discovery, she felt the intellectual effort had been mostly her supervisor's; but her omission from the Nobel Prize was criticized by several prominent astronomers, including Fred Hoyle. Iosif Shklovsky, recipient of the 1972 Bruce Medal, at the 1970 International Astronomical Union's General Assembly.
Other
Ben Barres (1954–2017), a neurobiologist at Stanford University Medical School. Barres is a trans man, meaning Barres was raised with a female gender role. He began to live as a man when he was 42 years old. Barres said people thought his research was better when they thought he was a man than when they thought he was a woman. Someone even said "His work is much better that his sister's" because they thought "Barbara Barres" was his sister and not his own old name. This is one time when the Matilta effect worked on the same person at different times in that person's life.

855151 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial%20development%20in%20Pakistan | Industrial development in Pakistan | Factories and things made by machines are all called industry. Industry refers to the manufacture of raw materials by machine, which are used in the daily life of human beings. There are three types of benefits of factories. On the one hand, they meet human needs. The second is the addition of human comfort. And third, things can be made easily and quickly. Different industries work together. Which makes things less expensive to make. At present, the production of industrial goods is increasing exponentially.
National development
During the partition, Pakistan got those areas. Which were more industrially backward. Hindus were big industrialists and capitalists. Where factories were not established in Muslim-majority areas. When all the raw materials were available there at cheap rates. Yet these areas were kept away from industry.
In East Bengal, the production of Puttsun was 50% of the total world production. However, not a single Puttsun factory was set up there. On the other hand, in West Bengal, more than a hundred Puttsun factories were operating on the Hugli River Cup.
Cotton was grown in West Punjab. However, textile mills were established in Mumbai and Ahmedabad, at the time of independence Pakistan there were cotton, sugar and a total of seven cement factories. Therefore, Pakistan started its industrial development on a weaker basis.
The Pakistani government realized that the country was lagging behind industrially. Therefore, special efforts were made to establish a strong industrial system. An industrial policy was announced in 1948, which encouraged the private sector. In 1972, the government nationalized ten types of factories. At the time, the government's actions created uncertainty in the private sector. Capitalists are now reluctant to invest in industry. The subsequent government made state-controlled factories private in the same way. In addition, the private sector paved the way for setting up new factories and investing in them. As investors invest in Pakistan's industrial sectors.
Industries
Industries in Pakistan are divided into the following categories
(1) Domestic and small scale industries
(2) Large industries
(3) Defense industries
Small home industries
Small and cottage industries are very important. Because they provide employment at the local level. They cost less to set up. And the administrative structure is also small. When the focus is on small and cottage industries, human migration from the countryside to the city will be reduced. There are so many types it's hard to say. Small and cottage industries have a significant role to play in Pakistan. Thousands of people work in them. Which strengthens the country's economy.
There are small and cottage industries in Pakistan
(1) blanket making factory:
Pakistan has raw materials for making blankets. There are many blanket factories in different parts of the country. It is located in the cities of Punjab Lahore, Sheikhupura, Faisalabad, Multan and Jhang.
In Sindhi the blanket is called carpet. The cities of Sindh include Jakmabad, Sukkur, Khairpur, Mirpur Khas, Umerkot, Tharparkar, Hyderabad and Based in Karachi.
Blankets are widely made in the capital city of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Peshawar. It's a big business locally.
Similarly, there are blanket making industries in Quetta, the main city of Balochistan. Very beautiful and beautiful blankets are made in Pakistan. Which is very popular in Brown country. Money is made through this top industry. Blankets are made from this synthetic thread.
(2) Cotton imprint:
It is an important and major industry in small domestic industries. It also includes hand stitching. The net of which is spread in every part of Sindh and Punjab. The number of hand sewing is in the tens of millions. This industry is a major source of local employment. Sutri sewing beautiful jackets and sutri sheets, bed sheets, sutri longi etc. are made. In Punjab it is located in Faisalabad, Multan, Lahore, Gujranwala, Sargodha and Sialkot, and in Sindh Hyderabad, Sukkur, Jakimabad, Kashmore and Ghotki.
(3) Leather making factory:
Leather making is an important industry in Pakistan. Boots, suitcases, vases, handbags and other leather goods are made in diffe2rent parts of the country.
Leather Goods Karachi, Hyderabad (Sindh), Lahore, Sialkot, Gujranwala, Sheikhupura and Multan (Punjab)
Made in Peshawar and Swat (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa).
There are also tanneries in Balochistan. This industry involves a large number of workers.
(4) Sports equipment:
The raw material of all kinds of sports goods is common jam in Pakistan. The manufacture of sporting goods requires a soft type of wood and leather. Sporting goods are widely manufactured in Lahore and Sialkot. Pakistan earns foreign exchange by selling these goods.
Pakistan-made hockey, cricket benches and ball, football and racquets are very popular in foreign countries.
(5) Cutlery or cutting tools:
Cutlery includes cups, scissors, spoons and knife etc. Wazirabad, Sialkot, Gujranwala, Gujarat and Lahore make various cutlery items. Money is made by making and selling cutlery to the standards of foreign countries.
(6) Sewing and sewing work:
The work of sewing and sewing is a source of great value and status for Pakistan. This is a popular art of Pakistan. Flower berths made of silk thread are very popular. Which draws people to it.
Sewing has been a common practice in Sindh since ancient times.
European and Gulf countries used to come through Sindh to trade in sewn goods.
This work Sindh, Balochistan, Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa,
Occurs in different cities of Gilgit-Baltistan and Kashmir.
In Sindh and Balochistan, hats are made by weaving small pieces of moss on cloth with silk thread, and hats are widely used. This art is called Sindhi and Balochi art. The main centers of this art are Larkana, Dadu, Shikarpur, Nawabshah and Khuzdar. This is a special skill of the families of Balochistan and Sindh.
"Salmi Sattar" works in major cities of Sindh and Punjab. Flower stitches, leather stitches are gold
The cities of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa include Peshawar, Dera Ismail Khan, Kohat and Nowshera.
Large industries
In large industries, the lower factories are counted.
(1) Textile Mills:
The textile industry is the backbone of Pakistan's economy. These factories produce the best quality fabrics. Pakistan is self-sufficient in cotton cloth. Millions of rupees are earned every year by selling these clothes abroad. Special centers for textile industry are Faisalabad, Lahore and Multan (Punjab), Karachi and Hyderabad (Sindh). Occurs in Peshawar, Dera Ismail Khan, Nowshera, Bannu, Haripur and Swat (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa) and Athal and Quetta (Balochistan).
There are more than 500 industrial factories in Pakistan. In which only 3 factories were invented at the time of independence in 1947.
There are also woolen factories in Pakistan. But cotton is no match for textile mills. The main reason is that low quality in Pakistan is obtained from it. It is used to make more wool or blankets. Major woolen factories are located in Karachi (Sindh), Lawrencepur (Rawalpindi), Lahore, Quaidabad (Punjab), Harnai (Balochistan) and Bannu (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa). Where blankets and woolen cloth are made from wool particles. There are currently 70 woolen factories in Pakistan. Lawrencepur and Karachi factories produce high quality woolen cloth.
There are also silk industries in Pakistan. There are two types of silk used in the manufacture of silk fabrics. A natural silk. It is obtained from silkworms. And the second is Hathrado silk, which is called synthetic or synthetic silk. As natural silk is very expensive and non-existent. That's why people love synthetic or artificial silk fabrics. A synthetic silk factory operates in Karib Kala Shah Kaku, Lahore. Synthetic silk is called Rayon. Silk thread and raw silk are imported from brown countries. Karachi is a major hub for the silk industry. Besides, silk factories have been set up in Faisalabad, Lahore, Multan, Gujranwala, Peshawar, Swat, Sukkur, Hyderabad and Ghotki.
(2) Chinese factory:
The sugar industry is of great importance in Pakistan. In 1947, two sugar factories were set up, one at Karib Rahwali in Gujranwala and the other at Takht Bai in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. Sugar is made from sugarcane. Which is produced on a large scale in Punjab, Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. According to statistics, there are 78 sugar factories in the country. (40 in Punjab, 32 in Sindh, 6 in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa) The production capacity of all these factories is 5 million tons. Pakistan is not only self-sufficient in sugar but also sells it to foreign countries. From them
Earning income. The sugar made in Pakistan is of high quality.
(3) Cement factory:
Gypsum is used in the manufacture of cement. Fortunately, Pakistan has large deposits of Chen stone and gypsum. That is why so many cement factories have been set up in the public or private sector. They are operating under the administrative regulations of Pakistan State Cement Corporation (PSCC).
Cement factories are operating in the lower areas of Pakistan.
Federal Territory = Islamabad
Punjab = Dhandwat, Wah, Dawood Khel, Rawalpindi, Dera Ghazi Khan
Sindh = Karachi, Hyderabad, Thatta, Nooriabad and Rohri.
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa = Kohat, Haripur and Nowshero
Balochistan = Darwaza and Gadani
Cement production in Pakistan is almost self-sufficient. In 1947, there was only one cement factory. There are currently 25 cement factories operating in the country. Of which 21 factories are operating in the private sector and 4 factories are operating in the public sector. The capacity of these factories is 17.7 million tons.
(4) chemical fertilizer factory:
The country's need for chemical fertilizers is met through fertilizers made in factories here.
Chemical fertilizers are essential for optimal production. These factories produce different types of fertilizer. Chemical fertilizer is more than required in Pakistan. Therefore, the remaining fertilizer is sent to foreign countries. Chemical fertilizer factories in Sindh Dharki and Mirpur Mathelo, and Punjab in Sheikhupura, Sadiqabad, Rahim Yar Khan , Multan, Faisalabad and Gujranwala. Fertilizer factories are located in the city of Haripur in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Their production capacity is 5.6 million tons.
Defense industries
The defense industries include iron and steel mills, heavy mechanical complexes and shipbuilding plants.
Below is the necessary information for them.
(1) Iron and steel factory:
The factories of Iron and Steel depend on iron ore. Cast iron is obtained from Kala Bagh, Makarwal (Punjab), Langarial (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa), Khuzdar, Ziarat, Chal Ghazi and Nok Kundi (Balochistan). The iron ore found there is less than the country's needs. That is why he is taken abroad. Large iron and steel mills are located in Karachi and Taxila. Which are briefly mentioned below.
(A) Pakistan Steel Mill Karachi:
The mills have been set up near Bin Qasim Port, 40 km from Karachi. Work on the mill began in 1973 with the help of Russia, and produces pig iron, iron sheets, coal wire, and more. Thousands of people work in this mill. How much of the country was saved from the formation of this mill.
(B) Heavy Mechanical Complex, Taxila:
The Heavy Mechanical Complex was established in 1968 in Taxila, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province in collaboration with China. Machinery, trucks, and spare parts for the railway engine, sugar, cement, textile and fertilizer factories are manufactured here. Imports of steel and machinery have fallen sharply since the Taxila complex began operations. In addition, a variety of machinery and additional tools do not have to be imported and the treasury is saved.
(2) Karachi Shipyard and Engineering Works:
Karachi Shipyard and Engineering Works was established in 1956. Where different types of ships began to be built. Ship repair work is also done here. In addition to shipbuilding, fish fishing fleets, shipwrecks, and ships from other countries are repaired. The shipbuilding industry in Pakistan has developed very well.

855160 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocaust%20trivialization | Holocaust trivialization | Holocaust trivialization is the use of the word holocaust in a way that decreases the perceived size or importance of the Holocaust: the genocide of six million European Jews during World War II.
Originally, the word used to mean a (religious) sacrifice that is burnt completely to ash, but gained a new meaning something along the lines of "the large-scale destruction of a group of humans or animals" at some point during the late 19th century. For example, in 1915 the Armenian Genocide was described as a holocaust by many people of the time.
These usages are seen as offensive by many authors and scholars. Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel has said that the word has become too trivialized, using examples like news networks talking about the defeat of a sports team, or the murder of six people, and calling it a holocaust.

855179 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell%20%28Dragon%20Ball%20character%29 | Cell (Dragon Ball character) | is a fictional character and a major villain in the Dragon Ball Z manga and anime created by Akira Toriyama. He makes his debut in chapter #361 , first published in Weekly Shōnen Jump on 16 February 1992. Cell is an evil artificial life form created using cell samples from several major characters in the series. He travels back in time so he can become the perfect being. In order to reach this goal, he must absorb Androids 17 and 18.
Physical Appearance
Imperfect Form
In his "Imperfect" form, Cell walks fully upright on two legs (unlike his "larval" form). His facial features have not yet fully complete and he still retains an orifice-like mouth rather than normal human-like features seen in later forms. The two sections of his head go off in a V-shape. Cell has orange color parts near his abdominal area, the back of his head, and even near the area where gentials would be found. He has two wings which are both green with black spots.He has three fingers in the manga, but five fingers and three toes (just as similar as Frieza and King Cold) in the anime. He has a tail like Frieza and King Cold, but also has a stinger on the end of it. He has black sections as well near his abdominal area, in the middle between the two sections on his head, and even the black part of the opposite side of his tail. He even has visible veins in both of his arms, legs, and even some in the joints in his upper body. His eyes are pink (blue in the manga colored pages) with thin reptilian slits.
Semi Perfect Form
In his "Semi-Perfect" form, Cell's wings disappear, and he becomes much more humanoid, he also becomes quite a bit more muscular. While the nose is not yet fully formed, he now has an actual mouth. The two sections of his head now go straight into the air. In this form, he is taller. His tail is longer and slightly thicker than before, and comes from his back, as well as becoming orange and black. His voice is deeper than his first form. The back of his head and the black section on his forehead are now formed together as a ball in between the two sections on his head. His lips are now the color pink, and the black sections above his lips look like a mustache (but it's part of his skin). He now has light blue eyes in this form (a result of absorbing Android 17). He even has boot-like feet in this form and metal-like plates all around both of his ankles. He has the same shape of ears as Frieza's, except that his have an orange line that goes down to the chin and to both sides of the ears. His wings retreat completely into his back. In his self-destruction form, Semi-Perfect Cell bloats himself, his belly greatly expanding in size. He also claimed that his bloated appearance was unstable, and that a single touch may set him off when dissuading Gohan from trying to stop him.
Perfect Form
In his "Perfect" form, Cell becomes much more humanoid and more intelligent, complete with both a fully-formed nose and mouth. His tail is retracted and now used to create Cell Jr's. He is also smaller than in his previous form. His wings have grown back and now are shaded black. His body is colored light-green with black spots and has black plates located on his shoulders and chest, and the plates on his ankles as well as the previously orange section near his groin are now shaded black. His skin is now pale all in his face, neck and hands, he now has purple lines in both sides of his cheeks, similar to Frieza in his first three forms, and the orange line across his ears and chin is now changed into a yellow color. His eyes are now pink, and his blue veins are now purple. In this form,he is seen doing lots of special attacks done by most of the Z fighters.
Super Cell
In his "Super Cell " form,he is more powerful than ever. His body doesn't change only his power and speed,in this forn he kills Future Trunks but Super saiyan 2 Gohan, with the help from his father, kills him with a final Son and father Kamehameha.
Appearances
Cell is an artificial life form (referred to as a "Bio-Android") created by Doctor Gero's supercomputer from the cell sample of the universe's strongest warriors, possessing the genetic information of Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo, Frieza, King Cold and Tien Shinhan in an underground complex beneath Gero's secret laboratory. Cell is designed to evolve into the "perfect" being by absorbing two Androids, #17 and #18. The Cell that appears as the primary antagonist of his titular arc is from the future, awakening after his development is complete to find that the Androids have been destroyed by Trunks. After he kills Trunks, Cell uses his time machine while regressing into an egg to travel back four years, to before the androids appeared, arriving in the present timeline. After hatching and metamorphosing from his larval, cicada-like form into his insect-like Imperfect form, Cell kills off thousands of people and absorbs them to increase his power in preparation to absorb the Androids. After he has managed to absorb the energy of entire cities of people, Cell finds Android #17 during his fight with Piccolo. Cell then breaks Piccolo's neck before Android #16 holds the mechanized villain off. However, he is able to find an opening to absorb #17 and evolves into Semi-Perfect Cell. Cell quickly dispatches #16, but he is unable to absorb #18 thanks to the intervention of Tenshinhan, who holds him back at the cost of his own life force before being rescued by Goku, along with a surviving Piccolo.
Cell tries to find Android #18, destroying islands to intimidate her into showing herself, but before he can destroy the island that #18 is hiding on, Vegeta appears and overwhelms him with newfound power. At the brink of defeat, Cell talks Vegeta into letting him absorb #18 so he can give him a better fight, and upon doing so, he assumes his final form, which is much more human like. In this form, Cell easily defeats Krillin, Vegeta, and Trunks, but spares all of them so that they can come to his own fighting tournament, the Cell Games (セルゲーム, Seru Gēmu) to find a worthy opponent to face him, intending to destroy Earth when he wins and wanting to enjoy the fear he causes in others.
A week later, in the first round of the Cell Games, he quickly defeats Mr. Satan before moving onto Goku, who quits upon realizing Cell is stronger than him.[14] Goku then nominates his son, Gohan, as Cell's next opponent, to everyone's surprise. Though Gohan puts up a good fight and proves himself his father's superior, Cell easily takes the upper hand due to his pacifistic nature. Wanting to avoid killing Cell if he can help it, Gohan warns Cell that if he is pushed too far, he will lose control of his anger and kill him, which only drives Cell to torment him further, excited to see this power. He spawns Cell Juniors (セルジュニア, Seru Junia), miniature versions of himself who begin to fight the heroes, causing Gohan's rage to slowly swell. It is only when Cell mercilessly kills #16 after he had encouraged Gohan to fight that Gohan snaps, transforming into a Super Saiyan 2. Gohan effortlessly, violently kills all the Cell Juniors, and then proceeds to effortlessly overpower Cell, aiming to prolong his suffering, dealing so much damage that Cell regurgitates Android #18 and reverts to his previous form. In desperation, Cell tries to self-destruct and destroy the Earth, but Goku sacrifices himself to ensure that Cell detonates elsewhere.
However, Cell is able to survive thanks to his unique physiology, which allows him to regenerate from a special nucleus in his head and grow more powerful whenever he has almost been killed, returning to his Perfect form even stronger than before. He easily kills Trunks, and when Vegeta attacks him in retaliation, he easily swats him aside. Before he can kill him, Gohan takes the blast in his place, which breaks his arm. With victory in his grasp, Cell decides to destroy the planet with one last Kamehameha, claiming he has the power to destroy the entire Solar System. Assisted by his father in spirit, Gohan retaliates with his own Kamehameha, ultimately overpowering Cell with Vegeta's help, destroying his cell nucleus and killing him once and for all. Mr. Satan, however, takes credit for the victory and becomes a hero.
Upon being resurrected by the Dragon Balls and returning to the future, Trunks destroys Androids #17 and #18, though realizes from his time travel that Cell is likely to emerge soon. Three years later, Trunks is confronted by the Cell of his timeline, who plans to kill Trunks and use his time machine in the same way his alternate self had. Future Cell realized Trunks traveled back already and learned of him in the past but thinks Trunks is no match for him. However, Trunks showcases his newfound power and easily kills him, finally bringing peace to the future.
In filler episodes of the anime, Cell makes numerous cameo appearances, usually as comic relief. Cell tries absorbing two siblings, but is prevented from doing so by Krillin, giving chase to the three and nearly killing Krillin before he notices Piccolo and Tien Shinhan on the way and escapes. In his posthumous appearances, he is shown causing trouble in Hell along with Frieza, King Cold, and the Ginyu Force. He is defeated by Goku and Pikkon and sent to prison, and is later seen watching Goku's battle with Majin Buu on a crystal ball, openly wondering why Goku quit against him and then went on to fight Buu, whom he acknowledges to be a stronger opponent than himself.
Abilities
He possesses most of the Z fighter's abilities, including the Kamehameha and Final Flash technique.
Cell is among the most powerful antagonists of the original manga. Possessing the genetic material of the some of the world's strongest fighters, he is a master martial artist with superhuman strength, endurance, and speed. He can fly, create energy beams and forcefields using his ki, a form of energy derived from his own life force, and with his stinging tail, he can absorb others, either stabbing them with the tail to dissolve them[54] or engulfing them within it to consume them. It is by absorbing others that he increases his own power. |

They are Muslims who settled in Pakistan after the end of British India in 1947. Unlike other cultural ethnic groups of Pakistan, they do not have a tribe-based cultural identity. They are the only people in the country for whom Urdu, the official language, is their native tongue. Mohajirs were the vanguard of the Pakistan Movement, which advocated the partition of British India in order to create the independent nation of Pakistan for Indian Muslims. After the partition, a large number of Muslims migrated from various urban centers of India to live in the new nation of Pakistan. These migrants later identified themselves as mohajirs. A large number of Mohajirs settled in the cities of Sind Province, particularly Karāchi and Hyderābād. They were better educated than most indigenous Pakistanis and assumed positions of leadership in business, finance, and administration. Today they remain mostly urban.

855245 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sindu%20desh | Sindu desh | Sindu desh (or Sindhudesh) is the idea that the region of Sindh should have more autonomy from Pakistan. People who support the idea either want a state that is totally independent from Pakistan, or that is still part of Pakistan, but has more autonomy. The first who proposed this was Ghulam Murtaza Syed (1904-1995). At first, Syed liked the idea of Pakistan, a state for all Muslims. Later he joined the opposition; he thought that the Paistani government betrayed the inhabitants of Sindh. In 1971, there was a war, that ended with East Pakistan becoming independent (and calling itself Bangladesh). After that war, Syed put forward his proposal of an independent Sindh, which he called Sindhudesh. Even though the movement exists, it wasn't able to gather a huge following. This is partly due to how the state of Pakistan is organised. There were protests however: These focused on the use of Urdu, instead of the Sindhi language. They also protested against the dominance of Bhan chod. These people were Indian Muslims, who emigrated to Pakistan. They mostly speak Urdu.

855328 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ageusia | Ageusia | Ageusia is the loss of taste functions of the tongue, particularly the inability to detect sweetness, sourness, bitterness, saltiness, and umami (meaning "pleasant/savory taste"). It is sometimes confused with anosmia – a loss of the sense of smell. Because the tongue can only feel texture and differentiate between sweet, sour, bitter, salty, and umami, most of what we think of as the sense of taste actually comes from smell. Ageusia is a lot rarer than hypogeusia – a partial loss of taste – and dysgeusia – a distortion or change of taste.
Causes
The main causes of taste disorders are head trauma, infections of upper respiratory tract , exposure to toxic substances, causes relating to illness caused by medical examination or treatment, medicines, glossodynia ("burning mouth syndrome (BMS)") and COVID-19.
Diagnosis
Aguesia is diagnosed by an otolaryngologist, who can look at a patient's loss of taste. To do this, a specialist will look into any other factors that could be causing the loss of taste, such as examining the head, nose, ears, and mouth. An otolaryngologist can also do of tests to assess the how bad the loss of taste is, which includes seeing specific tastes that a person can sense or recognize.

He studied printing at Hampton Institute (now Hampton University), a historically black college in Virginia. He graduated from Kent College of Law, a law school (now Chicago–Kent College of Law at the Illinois Institute of Technology) in Chicago, 1899.
The Chicago Defender
In 1905 Abbott founded The Chicago Defender, a newspaper which defended the rights of Black Americans, and became known as "America's Black Newspaper". It printed editorials that attacked white oppression and the lynching of Black Americans. The editorials were popular among Black Americans in the Southern United States.
The Defender positive reporting on opportunities for Black Americans in the Northern states played a part in making many Black Southerners move North during the Great Migration.

855336 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abdullah%20Abdurahman | Abdullah Abdurahman | Abdullah Abdurahman (12 December 1872 – 20 February 1940) was a South African politician and doctor. He was the first Coloured, or mixed-race, city councillor of Cape Town.
Early life
He was born on 12 December 1872, in Wellington, South Africa (now in the Western Cape). His parents were Muslim Cape Malays, and his grandparents were slaves in the Cape Colony, possibly from India, who had managed to buy their freedom. Cape Malays were considered "Coloured" under the apartheid system of racial segregation.
He went to school in Wellington before going to medical school at the University of Glasgow, Scotland, in 1888; in 1893, he graduated. After his studies, he returned to South Africa and became a doctor in Cape Town.
Local government
He was elected to the Cape Town City Council in 1904. He was the first non-white person in this position. As city councillor he worked to improve the conditions of the Cape Coloured community, especially within the field of education; he helped set up the first secondary schools for Coloured people in Cape Town.
African Political Organisation
Abdurahman joined African Political Organisation (APO) in 1903 and became its president in 1905. The party's goal was to fight increased racial oppression in the country, mainly on behalf of the Coloured people. He led the APO for 35 years.
In 1914 Abdurahman was elected to the Cape Provincial Council. He was the first Coloured person to serve on the council.
Death
Abdullah Abdurahman died on 20 February 1940.

Before setting up Trisutto.com, he was head coach of the triathlon team teamTBB.
He has coached many World and Olympic champions, including Ironman world record holder Chrissie Wellington and Olympic champions Nicola Spirig and Emma Snowsill. He is known for his forthright views on training methods and strong criticism of the International Triathlon Union (ITU) and its officials.
In 1999, he pleaded guilty in an Australian court to five sexual offences committed in the late 1980s against a teenage girl swimmer whom he was coaching. After the trial, in which he was given a suspended sentence, he was banned for life from coaching in Australia, and Sutton's marriage ended in divorce. Sutton later remarried, and is now based in Leysin, Switzerland, where he lives with his Swiss wife Fiona and their two daughters.
He has been described as "the coach with the most formidable résumé in triathlon", "widely recognised as one of the best triathlon coaches", and "widely considered to be the best and most unorthodox coach in the sport".
