856554 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yelena%20Mizulina | Yelena Mizulina | Yelena Mizulina (born December 9, 1954) is a Russian professor, lawyer and politician. She was a member of the Russian Parliament between 1995 and 2003. Beginning in 2007, Mizulina became a member again. She later became the chairperson of the Duma Committee on Family, Women and Children Affairs.
Due to the Crimean crisis, Mizulina was punished by Canada, the United States and Western Europe.
Legislative work
Mizulina was involved with a number of controversial legislative projects. Those included:
2010 bill on On Protecting Children from Information Harmful to Their Health and Development
2012 Internet Restriction Bill.
Future changes to the bill On Protecting Children from Information Harmful to Their Health and Development that would block all websites containing swearing and the usage of the Russian word mat. People who were against the Internet Restriction Bill stressed that although it sounded like the bill would protect children, it provides overwhelming tools for Internet censorship and a limit on freedom of speech in Russia. This protest led to public complaints, like the Russian-language Wikipedia strike. On June 10, 2012, she incriminated foreign intervention in these protests and therefore, she announced that she would issue an inquiry to the ministry of justice of the USA. She also said the Internet protests were organized by a "pedophile lobby".
2013 Anti-Magnitsky bill denying Americans the right to adopt Russian children. Following this proposal, U.S. authorities responded by proposing to include Mizulina, along with Vitaly Milonov under the Magnitsky list of banned Russian personalities.
2014 bill preventing women from entering higher education before giving birth.
2017 bill to decriminalise domestic violence "first assaults which cause less serious injuries" to an administrative offence.
Views toward marriage, sexual relations and family
Mizulina believes in limiting women's rights to abortion. She pledged to let abortions remain free of charge only under medical reasons or cases involving rape. In all other cases, she believed abortions should be billed to the women seeking such treatments.
Mizulina led an effort to decriminalize domestic violence in Russia. In 2016, she told reporters: "A man beating his wife is less offensive than when a man is humiliated."
Mizulina had strong opinions and views toward United States citizens adopting Russian children. She voted for the Anti-Magnitsky bill. The bill forbids when people in and from the United States adopt Russian children.
Mizulina is against homosexuality and LGBT rights. She is the author for some legislative projects that are directed against "the propaganda of homosexuality." They include the Russian gay propaganda law. She believes the phrase "gays are people too" should be marked as extremist by the Federal Service for Supervision of Consumer Rights Protection and Human Welfare. Mizulina was also in favor of taking children from gay parents, even bioligical parents.
In June 2012, Mizulina and the Duma Committee put into public a project called "The State Concept of Family Policy Until 2025". This policy proposed several controversial elements. They include:
does not tolerate out of wedlock child-birth
proposes new restrictions on abortion
strongly goes agains homosexuality
proposes to strengthen the role of the church in passing legislation relative to family matters
to increase the number of multi-generational families (families where grandparents, parents and grandchildren live together).
recommends to actively advocate multiple births
determines that minimum sum of child support, and proposes it be implemented independently of whether the parent has an income or not.
After the publication of "Concept", it was pointed out that several positions described in it were plagiarized word-for-word from a school report published in free access on the Internet. That in turn was plagiarized from a curriculum of family studies in Tomsk Polytechnic University.
In that same context, Mizulina called for the animated sitcom South Park to be removed from Russian airwaves.
The criticism toward Mizulina
Russian political scientist Mark Urnov described laws set in motion by Mizulina as "diverse, but having a single common quality – their capacity to spread intolerance. They are simply a legal expression of the intolerance and the suppression of everything that corresponds to one's personal views in regard to what is right and wrong".
The writer Dmitri Bykov believed Mizulina was "constantly providing a legislative form for things that should remain a question of personal choice, which is far more dangerous than any gay pride parade".
In April 2019, Mizulina was widely quoted for her statements in defense of the Russian Internet censorship laws. Her statements were condemned as Orwellian by several journalists.

856564 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rorschach%20test | Rorschach test | The Rorschach test is a psychological test in a form of inkblots on the cards. It is still used. It was named after Swiss psychologist Hermann Rorschach.
The test determines the state of patients and their problems.
History
Hermann Rorschach was not the first who invented this method. Interpretation of inkblots was used in the game Gobolink from the late 19th century. In Europe such games were known as kleksography.
Then Alfred Binet appeared. He first used it for psychological research. It determined the work of the imagination and consciousness.
In 1921, Rorschach wrote his the main book Psychodiagnostik where he was described the test.
Also Austrian psychologist SIgmund Freud showed how psychic expressions of the individual (in speech, dreams, and so on) could be read as signs pointing to unconscious processes. These processes were significant for a fuller and deeper understanding of his personality. Finally, Freud stressed the very earliest experiences of the child in the family as of primary significance in the moulding of personality.
Similar tests have been devised by American psychologist Wayne H. Holtzman.
Later the test began to be used in all sorts of speculative ways. Researchers gave the test to Nazi criminals during Nuremberg Trials hoping to find out the psychological roots of mass murder.
Method
Rorschach showed inkblots to many people with the same question: "What might this be?". It showed how people approached the task. It showed also a different perception of people. Some people saw the movement on the pictures, some not.
Usually inkblots pictures are shown secretly to make the patients' responses spontaneous.
In mass culture
Rorschach test is used in many films, TV series, books, comics.
One of the main character in comic book Watchmen is named after Rorschach. Rorschach also passed the Rorschach test.
Andy Warhol created Rorschach Paintings displayed in the Baltimore Museum of Art.

The title of the state used in the passport was the "Indian Empire", which covered all of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Burma.
The use of the passport was discontinued after the independence of India and Pakistan in 1947, and its bearers were entitled to opt for Indian, Pakistani or British nationality.
Pre-1947 History
The use of passports was introduced to the British Raj after the First World War.
The Indian Passport Act of 1920 required the use of passports, established controls on the foreign travel of Indians, and foreigners travelling to and within the Presidencies and Provinces of British India. The passport was based on the format agreed upon by the 1920 League of Nations International Conference on Passports.

856598 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dangerous%20goods | Dangerous goods | Dangerous goods (DG in short) are substances that when transported pose risk to health, safety, property and the environment. Certain dangerous goods pose risk even when not being transported. These are known as hazardous materials (HAZMAT or hazmat for short).
Hazardous material is often subject under chemical regulations. Examples of dangerous goods are biological hazards, flammable, explosive material, corrosive substances and allergens.
The packing groups
Packing groups are used for the purpose of determining the degree of protective packaging required for dangerous goods during transportation.
Group I: great danger, and most protective packaging required. Some combinations of different classes of dangerous goods on the same vehicle or in the same container are forbidden if one of the goods is Group I.
Group II: medium danger
Group III: minor danger among regulated goods, and least protective packaging within the transportation requirement
The training
Permit cards or licenses that are used with hazmat training must be shown if requested by officials.
By country/region
Canada
The transportation of dangerous goods (hazardous material) in Canada by road is normally a province jurisdiction. The federal government in Canada have jurisdiction over air, most marine and most rail transport. The federal government acting centrally created the federal transportation of dangerous goods and regulations. Creation of the federal regulations was coordinated under Transport Canada. The hazard classification is based under the UN model.
Europe
The European Union passed several directives and regulations. They did so for avoiding wide-spreading and for restricting the use of hazardous substances. The most important ones were the Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive and the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals.
The European law clearly tells the difference between the law of dangerous goods and the law of hazardous material. The earlier refers mainly to the transport of the respective goods. That includes interim storage, if caused by the transport. The latter refers to requirements of storage (which would include the warehousing) and usage of hazardous materials. The difference is very important, because different directives and orders of European law are applied.
The United States
For reasons involving increases in terrorism just after the September 11 attacks in 2001, funding for greater hazmat-handling went up across the United States. It was recognized that flammable, poisonous and explosive material could be used for further terrorist attacks.
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulates hazardous materials, for they may impact a community and an environment.

Its character strives for the benefits of what Family stands for. Hand in hand Lui'nion Fait La Force. Trou du Nord is regard and observed as the home centre of Haiti's President Jovenel Moise who was born June 26 l968. Jovenel Moise is a renown business man who joined Haiti's presidential party of Tet Kate Kale. His presidential party begun in Feb 7, 2017. His aspirations started with the determination to bring Haiti's pep(people) together, to unify the country specifically from an economical structure since that's where Haiti needs to focus on. The main economical structure of Haiti's dependence from a foundational perspective on the stand of monetary needs is agriculture as stated before. With any country whether home or abroad agriculture is what keeps a nation going. Almost every " developed" countries hides this simple truth because they have stolen from many of what is term uncolonized countries in order to fuel their countries. Since they have stolen so much from Haiti what we see in the media as success from these " "developed" countries are a result of their piracy. In turn when we look at these " developed nations we see glamour, wealth, or what many of us would grasped as bling bling. Lets bear in mind these "developed" political nations does not partake in agriculture which is the foundation for any nations ability to strive and live. These "developed" nations replacement of agriculture is plastic food and lab made food. Their since of agriculture has been far removed from them. Haiti's s main focus is agriculture a should any nation in order to excel. If it appears that haiti is not benefiting much from "glamour's" life such as the " developed" nations are know that is why. when you open that television remember you are watching thievery masked as glamour; when any persons travel abroad they see a much "refiner nation/s" as a result of such thievery. The " undeveloped" nations are the reason for such glamour or thievery portrayed for the masses. Jovenel Moise, the president of Haiti represents a nation moving forward however little the progress is; as many of us know that its people is waking up from a system of souse peze for hundreds of years. Indeed, the entire globe has been rob by these "developed" countries and sadly Haiti was no exception. what set Haiti apart from other nations that has been robed by these" developed" nations is it is Luinion Fait La Force and that is the basis for Jovenel Moise place in the Party of Tet Kale. often we see and note that Haiti is one of the poorest country in the western Hemisphere, how can that be when Haiti is Haiti. Haiti made its mark as the pearl of the globe after all.

Paa-in-da-bad literally means "Last forever" is a slogan used by Pakistanis as an expression of victory or patriotism, often used in political speeches. Its use started even before the creation of Pakistan, during the later phase of the Pakistan Movement. The slogan became a battle cry and greeting for the Muslim League, which was struggling for an independent country for the Muslims of Southern Asia.
Etymology
The slogan is a use of the standard Urdu and Persian suffix Zindabad (Long Live) that is placed after a person or a country name. It is used to express victory, patriotism or as a prayer. In literal translation, Pakistan Zindabad means "Long Live Pakistan"; it also is rendered as "Victory to Pakistan".
History
On 14 August 1947, Muhammad Ali Jinnah's motorcade was welcomed by shouts of Pakistan Zindabad, Quaid-e-Azam Zindabad and flower petals all along his way from the Governor General's residence to the Constituent Assembly building and back, where he attended the Proclamation of Independence and a hoisting ceremony of the Pakistan flag.

856649 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free%20Mason%20Hall | Free Mason Hall | Free Mason Hall Karachi before the partition, also known as Hope Lodge. All the programs of the society were held in it. Where there was a lot of hustle and bustle in the evening, there were rows of white Victorian cars in front of the building. At that time they had 500 members. Some of these notable names were Jam Mir Ayub Alamani, a big name in Karachi politically, socially, literary and culturally.
The building is viewed with suspicion after the partition. Freemasonry is a well-thought-out Jewish organization. Which is financially supported by the Jews. And the symbol of the Jews is the Star of David, the eight-pointed star.
Well-known researcher Akhtar Baloch says that the reality before partition was somewhat different and it is also a fact that Muslims were included in these organizations before and after the formation of Pakistan. The fact that Jews now have the Star of David and the Freemason's logo is part of the same propaganda. There is a difference between the two signs. The Freemason Hall logo and the Star of David are separate symbols.
How many buildings and graves of Jews can be seen in Star of David Karachi.
The first such thing came to light in 1972
Freemasonry activities were restricted under Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto. Later, on July 18, 1973, the Bhutto government took control of the "Free Mason Hall"
He took possession of the entire record. On July 19, Dawn reported that the Sindh government, led by the area magistrate, had sealed off the local hall near the YMC and seized the record. Hall took over at the behest of a rebel group. The general impression is that Freemasonry is a Jewish organization. And that is against Islamic ideology.
They have 1750 members all over Pakistan. Of these, 700 are members of the Karachi headquarters. According to reports, there are Free Mason Lodge Halls in Karachi, Hyderabad, Sukkur, Lahore, Multan, Rawalpindi, Tarbela, Quetta and Peshawar.
After capturing the Freemason Hall record, no one knows where it is now
The Free Mason Hall in Lahore was founded in 1860. This hall is known as "Lahore Temple". The building is now in the hands of the Punjab government. Where offices of various government departments have been set up. Dr. Muhammad Ibrahim Sheikh was the last Past Master of Freemason Lodge Hall Karachi. He was taken over by Dr. RB Kabhata in May 1973.
It may be recalled that when Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto restricted the activities of Free Mason Hall in 1972, his activities continued in spite of him. Earlier, in 1961, the Pakistani government and members of the Pakistani forces banned him from being a member of the Free Mason Rotary Club and the Lions Club. The same ban was imposed on other government employees in 1969.
When Zia-ul-Haq banned the activities of the Freemasons on June 17, 1983, under the Marshall Law, Regulation 56, his activities continued. Because the order did not specify legal or illegal activities. Therefore, according to the members, they were carrying out legal activities. With this in mind, the Government declared the Martial Law Regulation of 17 June 1983 by the Martial Law Administrator on 29 December 1985. Under the order, the Freemasons were banned. Under section (5), this decision cannot be challenged in any court. And the person who obstructs the order under section (7) shall be punished severely with imprisonment for a term not exceeding three years and with fine.
The Freemasons were banned in Iran after the 1979 revolution. Thus, in only two countries in the world, Pakistan and Iran, the Free Mason organization has the Hope Lodge in the early 1990s and the Wildlife Accounts and Head Office at the Sindh Wildlife Time Freemason Lodge Hall. Where the Sindh government building was made a national heritage, renovation and decoration under the 1994 Act.
The building and hall are still in good condition. Where there are commemorative plaques. A plaque commemorates the Freemason Roberts Shepherd of Karachi. Apart from these ten boards, only these boards are left for the students of Free Mason Hall.
Current look
Judaism is one of the oldest religions in the world. Before Islam, there were three tribes of Jews living in Madinah, of which the Banu Nadir, Banu Qainqa and Banu Qurayzah are the most important. Prior to the formation of Pakistan, there were a large number of Jews (Israelites) living in United India, especially in Bombay, Karachi, Gujarat (India), and also in the Pakistani cities of Multan, Rawalpindi and Peshawar. Families were settled. Who later emigrated to Israel and other countries.
Research
Aitken's Sindh Gazetteer, published in 1907, writes about the Jewish population of Karachi that according to the 1901 census, their number is only 1300. Most of them live in Karachi. Most belong to the Israelite community. And it is believed that they settled in Karachi from Maharashtra. Not much can be said about the history of the Jews in United India, but you can guess from the fact that the general election was held in India in 1936 in which "Abraham Rubin" won the election for councilor in Karachi. Yes, it could mean that the number of Jews at that time was such that they had a councilor or that they would have very good relations with other religions. Abraham Rubin was also an official of the Jewish organization, the Israelite Association, which was added to Pakistan after the partition of India. The organization is thought to have been founded in 1893. In the 19th century, many organizations were formed to protect the Jewish community, with the aim of protecting the rights of Jews and promoting Judaism. They also provided affordable housing to their community and provided financial support. These organizations were funded by Jews around the world. Young Jews were prominent in these organizations. The Young Man Jewish Association and the Karachi Bani Israel Relief Fund are more important among these organizations. By 1911, 0.3% of Karachi's population was Jewish. After the creation of Israel, where Jews migrated from all over the world, many Jews from Pakistan also migrated to Israel, some to England, but the Arab-Israeli war made up for the shortfall. It has become difficult to live in Pakistan, as we all know how much hatred there is for Israel in Pakistan. There were also many Jews who hid their identities and did not reveal their identities by calling themselves Christians or Parsis. The inscription in Karachi's Frere Hall names the Jews who founded an organization called "Free Mason" in Pakistan, which was later banned after the establishment of Pakistan.
Bani Israel Mosque in Karachi
A Jewish religious shrine called the "Star of the Church of Peace" was located on Col. Jamil Street, Nishat Road, Karachi. The church was founded by Solomon David in 1893. Then in 1912 further expansion was made by Solomon's daughters, Gershon Solomon and Raheem Solomon. A Hebrew school was also established within the church by the Jewish community in 1916-1918. Nathan Ibrahim Hall was also established here in 1918. There is also a signboard with the words "Pakistan Bani Israel Association" written on it. There is also a mosque here called Bani Israel Mosque. Its entrance reads, "Only Jews are allowed to enter here." There was an Israeli mosque building in the main square of the Ranchhor Lines area of Karachi, which has now been converted into a multi-storey residential building called "Madiha Square". Even today, the old people of Karachi know it as an Israeli or Jewish mosque. An old resident of the area, Qazi Khidr Habib, says the last trustee of the Israel Trust was a woman named Rachel Joseph, who named the building after a man named Ahmed Elahi, son of Mehr Elahi, a power of attorney. They agreed to build a commercial building on the site of the shrine. Shops will be built on the ground floor of the building while a shrine will be built on the first floor. There were shops on the ground floor and a place of worship on the first floor. But now there are residential flats instead of places of worship. There was also a lawsuit between "Rachel Joseph" and various individuals over the ownership of the trust, in which "Rachel" and his attorney won. Rachel's presence in Karachi is said to have moved her to London a long time ago. On May 6, 2007, Reema Abbasi, a columnist for Rozna Mehdan, wrote that the last custodian of the place, Rachel Joseph, was in Karachi until 2007, when she moved to London.
Jews of Hyderabad
The general impression about the Jews is that they were confined to Karachi, but an inscription in the Jewish cemetery proves that they served in other cities of Sindh besides Karachi. There is also a tomb of Dr. Elizabeth Jacob Bhurapkar, who served in the Civil Hospital, Hyderabad, who was born in 1850 and died in 1922. Similarly, a grave has been made by Abraham Reuben Kumar, the vice president of the Jewish community in Karachi.
Jews of Multan
According to Altaf Ahmed, Director Media Relations of the Election Commission of Pakistan, the number of Jewish voters in Pakistan was 809 in the last national elections held in 2013. And there were 12 Jews in Multan who identified themselves as Parsis. According to these figures, the disappearance of hundreds of Jewish voters in five years is a rare occurrence. Where did the Jewish voters go?
Jews of Peshawar
Peshawar also had a Jewish community in the 1960s and had two places of worship. As of 2017, there were 900 Jewish voters registered, according to the Election Commission of Pakistan. At present, as many Jews as there are in Pakistan are hiding their identities. Jews call themselves Parsis or Christians, so it is not possible to know their true numbers.
Jews of Rawalpindi
Deutsche Welle, a reporter for the English broadcaster DW, wrote in a report on Jews in Rawalpindi that it was difficult to identify Jews in Rawalpindi. Only one of the Pakistani Jews contacted by Deutsche Welle was a senior citizen. He agreed to be interviewed on condition of anonymity. This elderly Jewish citizen of Pakistan is a good year old and lives in an old and densely populated area of Rawalpindi. "There was a time when even about thirty years ago, there were about forty-five Jewish families living in Rawalpindi, Islamabad and Gujranwala," he said. Many Jewish families, including my own, have migrated to Europe, the United States or South Africa. At least six Jewish families have relocated to Karachi, ”he said.“ Until the 1970s, there were two synagogues in Rawalpindi. But despite the fact that a few Jewish families lived in the city, these places of worship were closed because our religious leaders, the rabbis, were not available. Jews stopped registering as voters because it is now a viable option for a Jew to run for office in a particular seat and to go and vote for such a candidate as a voter in an age of sectarianism and extremism. No, ”said the Pakistani minority, who has spent most of his life in a neighborhood in Rawalpindi, explaining to DW why local Jews have little interest in politics. Similarly, he has never been politically active. But due to the instability of the democracy that was restored after the dictatorship of Zia-ul-Haq and the lack of interest of almost all political parties in the local Jews, our own interest in politics has almost disappeared. The last time I cast my vote was in the 1990 general election. After that, the desire to participate in the election as a voter disappeared.
Karachi Jewish Israel Cemetery
There are graves of Jews (Israelis) in Mewa Shah Cemetery in Karachi. And an estimated 5,000 Jews are buried here. About five hundred graves have been identified. The Hebrew language written on the books is now the only sign that the Jews are buried here. The last burial in the Israelite cemetery was in the 1980s, after which no Jew is reported to have been buried here. Solomon David was a surveyor in the Karachi Municipality in the British era. Solomon died in 1902 and his wife died the following year. Both spouses were buried in the same cemetery. In 1912, Solomon David's two sons redesigned his books. The cemetery is overgrown with bushes and plants, and criminals often hide from law enforcement due to a lack of government attention. The cemetery is being looked after by a Baloch family, who have been its watchmen for six generations. According to him, some Jews used to come here and pay for their maintenance, but now for years no one has come here, only newspaper correspondents and researchers come and take pictures and leave. This monument to Judaism in Karachi has fallen into disrepair due to lack of proper maintenance. Most Jewish graves have been demolished and the resettlement of Muslim dead is in full swing.
Israeli Jew from Karachi
Regarding the presence of Jews in Karachi, Mahmooda Rizvia writes on page 146 of her book Queen of the East that Jews live in the Lawrence Quarter. Employees are called Israelites by profession and common usage. The victims separate themselves. There is a temple and a cemetery. Their population is very small. Educated and very happy. Well known writer and journalist Muhammad Hanif who fortunately visited Israel. At the moment, the international broadcaster affiliated with the BBC writes about an event during his visit to Israel that at last one of the moderators realized that I had not given a speech. I was taken by the hand and made to stand on the stage. I said that I am not from India but from Karachi. That's how I came home from work. But I was very happy to meet you guys and so on and so forth. A forty-five-year-old man of fair complexion and fat body, sitting in the front row, sobbed loudly. When I got off the stage, he came and grabbed my hand, took me to a corner and hugged me. This was Daniel of Soldier Bazaar Karachi.
"I haven't seen anyone from Karachi since 68"
He told me between sobs:
"I went to an English medium school there. We had our own mosque. During the war of 1967, Ayub Khan sent police to protect it."
Then he put his hand on his heart and said, "We were not in trouble there. We were never abused. We just saw that all the Jews were going to Israel, so we came too."
Pakistan was formed in 1947 and Israel in 1948 and this is where the bad days of these Jews began. Then whenever the Arabs fought Israel, the land became narrow for the Jews of Sindh. In the Arab-Israeli wars of 1956 and 1967, Pakistani extremist Muslims kept Pakistani Jews alive. Even in 1968, there were only 250 Jews left in Sindh, which used to be three or four thousand. Jews were forced to leave Pakistan and seek refuge in England or Israel.
The remaining surviving Jews, disguised as Parsis, somehow managed to populate Karachi's Megan Shalom Snigag and the Jewish cemetery. The misfortune of Pakistan that then came the era of Zia-ul-Haq, it was the double misfortune of Pakistani Jews, people fell on each other while chanting slogans of jihad, when Deobandi, Barelvi, Ahle Hadith and Shia killed each other by declaring each other as infidels. How can Jews survive in such a situation? Some extremist Muslims, together with the Occupy Mafia, attacked the synagogue, the Jews escaped, and valuables were stolen. Twelve years ago today, there were about ten Jewish families in Karachi. But that number has dwindled, with Jewish property grabbing mafias and locals building residential buildings and commercial complexes.

856650 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takht-I-Bahi | Takht-I-Bahi | Takht-I-Bahi (), commonly mispronounced as Takht-I-Bhai (), is an Indo-Parthian archaeological site of an ancient Buddhist monastery in Mardan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. The site is considered among the most imposing relics of Buddhism in all of Gandhara, and has been "exceptionally well-preserved."
The Buddhist monastery was founded in the 1st century CE, and was in use until the 7th century. The complex is regarded by archaeologists as being particularly representative of the architecture of Buddhist monastic centres from its era. Takht-i-Bahi was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1980. Therefore they can be considered as the "National Buddhist Temple of Pakistan", a potential Sacred Pilgrimage site, for All-Universal Buddhists Yatris respectively.
Surroundings and structure
There are four main areas of the Takht Bahi complex:
The Stupa Court, a cluster of stupas located in a central courtyard.
The monastic chambers, consisting of individual cells arranged around a courtyard, assembly halls, and a dining area.
A temple complex, consisting of stupas and similar to the Stupa Court, but of later construction.
The Tantric monastic complex, which consists of small, dark cells with low openings, which may have been used for certain forms of Tantric meditation.
Additional structures on the site may have served as residences or meeting halls, or for secular purposes. All of the buildings on the site are constructed from local stone, and are mortared with lime and mud.
Name meaning
The word Takht-I-Bahi may have different explanations. Local believes that site got its name from two wells on the hill or the springs nearby. In Persian, Takht means 'top' or 'throne' while Bahi means 'spring' or 'water'. When combined together its meaning is 'spring from the top' or 'high spring', and there were two springs on the top of mountains. Another meaning suggested is 'throne of origin'.

He died in 1799.

Principal photography started on February 22, 2016 across Florida and Savannah, Georgia. Baywatch was released in May 2017. The movie got substandard reviews from the critics, mostly for its crude humor and character developments. However, it had a box office intake of just over $58 million in the United States. It made another $119.8 million in several other territories. The total box office intake was around $177.8 million. The movie's budget was $69 million. Baywatch was given five nominations in the 38th Golden Raspberry Awards. The categories were the Worst Prequel, Remake, Rip-off or Sequel, the Worst Screenplay, the Razzie Nominee So Rotten You Loved It and the Worst Picture.
The reviews
Baywatch received an approval rating of only 17% under Rotten Tomatoes. Critics from the movie judging site said: "Baywatch takes its source material's jiggle factor to R-rated levels, but lacks the original's campy charm – and leaves its charming stars flailing in the shallows." It received a rating of 37 out of 100 under Metacritic. That meant "generally unfavorable reviews.".
Writing for the Rolling Stone magazine, Peter Travers was happy with the "easy rapport" from Dwayne Johnson and Zac Efron. Travers stated, though, "what [the film] needs more is a functional script". Travers rated the movie two out of four stars. He then said: "Think of yourself sitting down for a big two-hour wallow in instant stupid with a vat of popcorn, slathered in fake butter and possibly a mound of melted M&Ms on top. It feels great chugging it down, then your stomach hurts, your head aches and you puke the whole thing up so you can forget about it in the morning. That's Baywatch in a nutshell." Owen Gleiberman from the Variety magazine called it "stupidly entertaining... for a while". He was, however, not impressed with the movie's plot.

The game takes place a year after the events of the Macross 7 television series and follows the VF-X Ravens unit. The game was followed by a sequel, Macross VF-X2 in September 2, 1999.
Overview
This is a shooting game based on the Macross series, and is a wholly original setting not based on any previous works or series. It is set one year after the Macross 7, which had been the most recent of the franchise at the time. The game was initially planned as a fully polygonal 3D shooter, and the Sony PlayStation perfectly suited the game's ambition in terms of graphics.
Development began in 1995 and has long been shown on several game magazine's release schedule as software with a release date pending. The development involves the main creators of the Macross series, such as Shōji Kawamori (Valkyrie Design, Supervisor), Kazutaka Miyatake (Ship / Mecha Design), Haruhiko Mikimoto (Main Character Design). The game was noted for including the transformable modes of the VF-4 Lightning III, which had only been previously seen as a fighter on The Super Dimension Fortress Macross: Flash Back 2012.
Until the game's development, Macross-related games were released on family computers, PC engines and arcades without the involvement of Shōji Kawamori. Kawamori was uninterested in video game development at that point because he could only do 2D, but he had become interested when he learned the game was being made in 3D for the Sony Playstation.
Plot
In A.D. 2047, the five member idol group "Milky Dolls", who had been scheduled to participate in the next "ZENTRADI sound project", are abducted by unknown hostile force during a U.N. Spacy commemorative ceremony. Escaping in a camouflaged spaceship, the abductors folded to the planet Elysion.
The U.N. Spacy high command then orders the VF-X Ravens and the crew of the Valhalla III to rescue the Milky Dolls and uncover the identity of the mysterious armed force. They turn out to be a rogue Zentradi militia.

Reception
The game received fairly negative reviews at the time. Gamespot is quoted saying "Macross VF-X looks elegant at times, but ultimately fails to capture the emotion, the excitement, and the sheer visual splendor of its source material.", citing how the game featured lengthy, boring missions and poor control flight mechanics, controls and physics. Many others have criticized the game's horrible audio / sound effects and poor music, which utilized MIDI arrangement. These criticisms would later be rectified in its sequel, Macross VF-X2.
Notes & Trivia
The Milky Dolls was one of the first appearances of a proper idol group for the franchise's history. The concept of idol groups had been seen with the Jamming Birds in Macross 7 and would later explored further with Walküre for Macross Δ.
Maximilian Jenius' VF-1X Plus is an unlockable playable aircraft.
The final Milky Doll song, "Only You", was written and composed by Mari Iijima herself.
The game notably starred infamous voice actress Kikuko Inoue playing the role of Liatris of the Milky Dolls. She had previously played roles such in Kekko Kamen and Ikki tousen.

856742 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas%20Two-Step | Texas Two-Step | The Texas Two-Step is a dance that originated in 1845 when Texas was first founded. Within 2 months, the founders of Texas (Davie Rocket, John Menger III, Chris Alamo, and Antonio Sanders) adopted the dance as a staple of Texas heritage. Historians still argue about if the dance originated after the successful Battle of the Bulge or the war of 1899 with Houston.
The dance is performed by putting your lead foot behind your support foot while simultaneously twisting your pelvis in a counter-clockwise motion, being sure to point your toes toward your partner. Keep in mind, the entirety of the dance is completed by two Texas sized steps (around 4.2x as large as a standard U.S. step). What follows these two steps is a series of freestyle movements that vary between performers. For example, Davie Rocket adopted the "Hemisfair" movement, where you proceed to grab your partner by the pinky and swing her around your head similar to the motion of a lasso.
Importance
The Texas Two-Step and other forms of step related lone star dances have become a cultural staple of the state down under. Bordering states have attempted to plagiarize this dance in ways of their own, but to no avail. For example, Louisiana created the Boot Stompin' Bop, until it faded into obscurity in 1923 after the housing market crash. Arkansas native Dick Rutherford created the Whiskey Slammer Toe Spinner, but 2 minutes into the debut of the dance, Dick was shot in the Golden Monkey Saloon. The only dance to remain a southern tradition as much as the Texas Two-Step, is the Texas Two-Step.
Notable Sightings
Many notable individuals have been seen in public performing the famous dance. Tom Alamodome, John "Hand-Standin'" Johnson, and Brett were all sighted at Shiner Park performing the moves of the golden days. They were all sighted by Eva Longoria, former Spurs trophy wife.

856753 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death%20of%20Mario%20Gonzalez | Death of Mario Gonzalez | On April 19, 2021, Mario Gonzalez, a 26-year-old Latino man was killed by the Alameda Police Department. In their initial report of the incident, the department reported that Gonzalez died after a “scuffle” and “physical altercation” resulting in a “medical emergency.” In body cam footage released on April 27, Gonzalez could be seen being pinned to the ground for more than five minutes after refusing to provide identification, eventually becoming unresponsive. He died in police custody.
People involved
Mario Gonzalez
Mario Gonzalez (December 24, 1994 – April 19, 2021) was a 26-year-old man from Oakland, California. He was a father and was the primary caretaker of his mother and brother, who has autism.
Officers
The officers involved with Gonzalez' death were identified as Eric McKinley, who has been on the force for three years, Cameron Leahy, who has been on the force for three years, and James Fisher, who has been on the force for 10 years. The three men have been placed on paid administrative leave.
Incident
An officer approaches Gonzalez at a park after police said they were responding to reports of a man who was believed to be intoxicated and suspected of theft. Gonzalez was in the park with two baskets. Officials asked him to produce his name and identification; Gonzalez does not produce an ID, and an officer states, "Please put your hand behind your back ... please stop resisting us." The officers push Gonzalez into the ground into wood chips, placing a knee on his back and leaving it there for four minutes as an out-of-breath Gonzalez says, "I didn't do nothing." and “Please don’t do this.” Gonzalez loses consciousness, at which point the officers rolled him over and perform CPR. He was pronounced dead.
Investigation
Alameda city officials launched an independent investigation into Gonzalez' death.
Reactions
Family
Gonzalez' brother stated, "Everything we saw in that video was unnecessary and unprofessional. The police killed my brother in the same manner that they killed George Floyd." Julia Sherwin, a lawyer representing the Gonzalez family, stated, "His death was completely avoidable and unnecessary. Drunk guy in a park doesn't equal a capital sentence."
Institutions
CURYJ Executive Director George Galvis stated, “We have seen this play out time and time again. Police come up with a false narrative until footage is revealed and the truth comes out. They did this to 13-year-old Adam Toledo, and they would have done it to George Floyd if there wasn’t community recording.”
Public figures
Alameda mayor Marilyn Ezzy Ashcraft stated, “I’m just heartsick. This is a young man. This shouldn't have happened."
On Twitter, former-Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro wrote, "Police in Alameda, CA wrote in a report that Mario Gonzalez was violent before his arrest and died in the hospital after a 'medical emergency.' Body cam footage shows he was calm and peaceful. He died on-site after they knelt on his back for 5 minutes."

856797 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpine%20musk%20deer | Alpine musk deer | The Alpine musk deer (Moschus chrysogaster) is a deer that lives in Central Asia. This species is called endangered on the IUCN Red List and it is given first-class protection by the government of China.
Appearance
The fur of a musk deer is dark brown. They are 0.5 to 0.6 m high and .85 to 1 m long. They weigh 10 to 15 kg. They have long ears and short tails, and the male deer have very long canine teeth that look like tusks.
Male musk deer have musk pods that can weigh 30 to 45 g.
Musk deer can live 12 to 15 years.
Behavior
Alpine musk deer all leave their feces in the same place. Scientists call this a latrine site. They do this to mark their territory, meaning to show other deer that a place belongs to them.
Threats
Alpine musk deer are in danger of dying out because human beings trap them. Like other musk male deer, male Alpine musk deer have musk pods that people use musk pods to make perfumes and in traditional medicines. When people set traps for male musk deer, they trap and kill female musk deer and fawns too.
In the 21st century, one kilogram of musk pod can pay USD45,000.
The government of China keeps some Alpine musk deer in captivity.

856810 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bento%20Rodrigues%20dam%20disaster | Bento Rodrigues dam disaster | The Bento Reodrigues dam disaster happened on 5 November 2015, when a dam at a Germano iron ore mine broke. The disaster is also known as Mariana dam disaster, or Samarco dam disaster. It happened in a mine near Mariana, Minas Gerais, Brazil. The flooding devastated the downstream villages of Bento Rodrigues and Paracatu de Baixo, from Bento Rodrigues, killing 19 people. The damage caused by the tailings dam collapse is the largest ever recorded with pollutants spread along of watercourses.
The failure of the dam released 43.7 million cubic metres of mine tailings into the Doce River. A toxic brown mudflow polluted the river and beaches near the mouth when it reached the Atlantic Ocean 17 days later. The disaster created a humanitarian crisis as hundreds were displaced and cities along the Doce River suffered water shortages when their water supplies were polluted.
The total impact of the disaster, including the reason for failure and the environmental consequences, are officially under investigation and remain unclear. The owner of the Bento Rodrigues dam, Samarco, was subject to extensive litigation and government sanctions. In 2016, charges of manslaughter and environmental damage were filed against 21 executives, including Samarco's former CEO and representatives from Samarco's owners, Vale and BHP Billiton, on its board of directors. Controversy over the investigation grew after a 2013 report, indicating structural issues in the dam, was leaked.
