History
In the summer of 2016, the company was found by Niky Terzakis, who worked for ASL Airlines Belgium. The main goal was to link Belgium with Hong Kong, Beijing, Shanghai, Xi'an, Wuhan, Zhengzhou and Taiyuan.
The first flight from Brussels to Hong Kong was planned October 2017, but this was planned for later because the airline didn't have an air operator's certificate (AOC).
In December 2017, Air Belgium announced that the first flight should now take place in March 2018 from Brussels South Charleroi Airport instead of Brussels Airport because of lower airport taxes and easy accessibility; it was also announced that, for business class and premium passengers, the airline would operate from a new terminal, while economy passengers would use the regular terminal.
On 14 March 2018, the airline received its AOC and planned to begin operating scheduled flights from mid-April.
On 30 January 2021, Air Belgium announced that cargo flights will start with four Airbus A330-200F based in Liège Airport, on behalf of French shipping giant CMA CGM.
On 1 July, Air Belgium modernises its fleet with the induction of two new Airbus A330-900 aircraft and will fly from Brussels Airport to Mauritius from 15 October, 2021.

873808 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genshin%20Impact | Genshin Impact | Genshin Impact is an action role-playing game developed by Chinese developer miHoYo. The game is an anime style open-world game and has an action-based battle system. The game is free-to-play with a gacha system. While developed after Honkai Impact 3rd (2016) with a similar title naming, Genshin Impact is not a sequel of Honkai Impact 3rd.
Gameplay
Genshin Impact allows the player to control one of four characters in a party. Switching between characters can be done quickly in combat. That allows the player to use several different combinations of skills and attacks.
Each character has two unique combat skills: an elemental skill and an elemental burst. The elemental skill can be used at any time except for the cooldown period immediately after use. The elemental burst has an energy cost, requiring the user to save enough elemental energy by defeating enemies or make elemental status effects. Characters' attacks are one of seven elements: Cryo, Dendro, Pyro, Hydro, Anemo, Electro and Geo, which correspond to ice, grass, fire, water, wind, electricity, and rock, respectively.
Story
Genshin Impact takes place in the world of Teyvat. Teyvat has seven distinct nations, each of which is tied to a different element and ruled by a different god. The story follows the Traveler, who has traveled across countless worlds with their twin siblings before becoming separated in Teyvat. At the beginning of the game, players need to choose one of the twin siblings as a player character and give them a name. The official names for them are Aether (male) and Lumine (female).
Development
Genshin Impact began development as early as late January 2017. The initial team had 120 people and grew to 400 by the end of that year, and reached 700 by February 2021. miHoYo revealed the game in June 2019 at E3 2019. The game was developed using the Unity (game engine). The game has voice-overs in four languages (English, Japanese, Chinese, and Korean), and 13 different languages for text. The game was designed as a cross-platform title. Developing the game for PC and PlayStation platforms allowed the developers to raise graphical quality for the game, like rendering realistic shadows.
Music
Yu-Peng Chen of HOYO-MiX composed the game's original score, which was performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra (LPO), the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra, and the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra.
Release
Genshin Impact was released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, Android, and iOS in September 2020, PlayStation 5 in April 2021, and is planned for future release on the Nintendo Switch.
Reception
Genshin Impact received "generally favorable reviews" according to review aggregator Metacritic.
Awards
Apple awarded Genshin Impact with "iPhone Game of the Year" in the "App Store Best of 2020 and the 2021 Apple Design Awards for Visuals and Graphics". The game won Google Play's "Best Game of 2020" and was nominated for "Users' Choice Game" at the Best of 2020 awards. At the TapTap Game Awards 2020, the game won "Game of the Year". The game was also nominated for Best RPG and Best Mobile Game at The Game Awards 2020, and for Ultimate Game of the Year at the Golden Joystick Awards. The game was nominated for Best Ongoing game and won the Best Mobile Game at The Game Awards 2021.

Isa Masih was a 1st century preacher. In Islam, he is the penultimate prophet and messenger of God, sent to guide the Children of Israel with a revelation: Injīl.The Oxford Dictionary of Islam, p.158 He is believed to be a descendant of Ibrahim, and is seen as an example for all Muslims to follow. According to the Quran, Jibrael told that the name of the figure will be Masih Isa.
According to the Quran, Isa foretold the coming of Muhammad in As-Saff 61:6. In Islam, Isa is the only prophet to return. Muslims believe that Isa will return in a Second Coming to fight Gog and Magog and Al-Masih ad-Dajjal or "False Messiah" and establish peace and justice on earth.
History
Birth
The birth narrative in the Quran for Isa begins at Quran 19:16–34 and Q3:45–53. Islamic theology affirms Maryam as a pure vessel. Islamic exegesis affirms the virginal birth of Isa. The narrative of the virgin birth is an announcement to Mary by the angel Gabriel while Mary is being raised in the Temple after having been pledged to God by her mother. Gabriel states she is honored over all women of all nations and has brought her glad tidings of a holy son. A hadith narrated by Abu Hurairah, quotes Muhammad explaining that both Jesus and Mary were protected from Satan's touch at birth, quoting from Q3:36. The Quran states that son of Maryam and his mother a sign; and we made them abide in an elevated place, full of quiet and watered with springs."
Prophethood
Some Muslims believe that Isa became a prophet when he was born and spoke in infancy. From the Islamic basis, reflected upon all previous prophets through the lens of Muslim identity, Isa is considered no more than a messenger repeating a repetitive message of the ages. Some Islamic traditions believe Isa's mission was only to the people of Israil and his status as a prophet being confirmed by numerous miracles.Gregg, Stephen; Barker, Gregory 2010, p. 90.
Revelation
Muslims believe that God revealed to Isa a new scripture, Injīl (the Gospel), while also declaring the truth of the previous revelations: Tawrat (the Torah) and Zabur (the Psalms). The Quran speaks favorably of al-Injīl. Traditional Islamic exegesus claiming the biblical message to have been distorted or corrupted. This polemic effort has its origins in the medieval period with Abd al-Jabbar ibn Ahmad's writings.
Disciples
The Quran states that Isa was aided by a group of disciples who believed in His message. The Quran mentions in chapter 3, verses 52–53, that the disciples submitted to the faith of Islam:
The longest narrative involving Isa's disciples is when Jesus performs the miracle of bringing a table of food from heaven at their request, for further proof that his preaching is the true message.
Ascension
Muslims believe that Isa was not crucified and was raised up into the skies instead of being crucified. Muslims believe that a lookalike was crucified. According to some Shia writings, Isa ascended to heaven wearing a woolen shirt, spun and sewed by Maryam, his mother. As he reached the heavenly regions, he was addressed, 'O Isa, cast away from you the adornment of the world.
Return
According to Islam, Isa Masih will descent at a white minaret, on the eastern side of Damascus (believed to be the Minaret of Isa in the Umayyad Mosque),Sonn (2004) p. 209 Isa would slay the Dajjal, and then everyone who is one of the People of the Book (ahl al-kitāb, referring to Jews, Sabians and Christians) will believe in him. Thus, there will be one community, that of Islam.
After the death of al-Mahdi, Jesus will assume leadership. This is a time associated in Islamic narrative with universal peace and justice. Islamic texts also allude to the appearance of Ya'juj and Ma'juj (known also as Gog and Magog), ancient tribes which will disperse and cause disturbance on earth. God, in response to Jesus' prayers, will kill them by sending a type of worm in the napes of their necks, and send large birds to carry and clear their corpses from the land. According to a hadith, Jesus will marry, have children and rule for forty years after which he will die. Isa would be buried in the city of Madinah in a grave left vacant beside Muhammad, Abu Bakr, and Umar.

873891 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Working%20Women%27s%20Forum | Working Women's Forum | The Working Women's Forum (WWF) is a women's organisation in southern India. Jaya Arunachalam founted it in Madras (Chennai) in 1987. It helps poor women in southern India. It makes small loans, a trade union, health care, education and training. It works with the poor women whose jobs are informal, for example street vendors, silkworm growers and silk weavers, handicraft producers, washerwomen and fisherwomen.
WWF has helped more than 7,000,000 women by giving them loans and other things.
Women join the WWF because they can get loans and because the interest rates are not too high.
There are two important organisations related to the WWF :–
Indian Co-operative Network for Women (ICNW) : It provides loans to women.
National Union of Working Women (NUWW): It is a trade union that works for the interests of women.
These are the four ideas that WWF uses:
Pro Women: To work only for women of the informal work sector who feed their families.
Anti-Dowry: The WWF wants to stop the customs around wedding dowries. It wants to do this through collective efforts against dowries.
Anti-Caste and Pro-Secularism: The WWF says it will help women no matter which social rank they have in India's caste system or which religion they have. The WWF says people from different castes should be allowed to marry each other.
Anti-Politics: To avoid involving the areas related to political parties and agendas.
History
WWF was started with 30 women who formed themselves into a group with the help of Jaya Arunchalam. She was then a social/political worker in Madras. The group of women approached a bank for a loan and received a sum of ₹300 for each member. Each day they collected amount from themselves for repayment. The repayment reached 95% of the sum.
By April 1978, about 800 women were involved into this activity. They formed into 40 groups and began receiving loans. This led to the emergence of Working Women's Forum.
Since then the WWF has received massive recognition. Former US state secretary Hillary Clinton made a visit to the WWF in July 2011.
Objectives
WWF has few socioeconomic and political objectives such as:
To form organized groups of women who are working in the informal sector
To build and improve the entrepreneurial skills of women through credit, training and other services
To identify the women involved in working in the informal sector and provide aid
To mobilize women for their political and social rights

That means she wanted women to have the right to vote in British elections. She was involved in two major British women's suffrage societies. They were the militant Women's Social and Political Union and the United Suffragists. She helped start the United Suffragists. She became editor of the Votes for Women newspaper during the First World War. She was sent to prison twice. She was a book writer who was famous for her children's books.
Early life
Evelyn Sharp was born on 4 August 1869. She was the ninth of eleven children. Sharp's family sent her to a boarding school for just two years. However, she passed several university local examinations. Sharp moved to London although her family did not want her to. In London, she wrote several novels including All the Way to Fairyland (1898) and The Other Side of the Sun (1900).
In 1903, Sharp started writing articles for the Daily Chronicle, the Pall Mall Gazette and the Manchester Guardian with the help of Henry Nevinson. Sharp talks about how important Nevison and the Men's League for Women's Suffrage is: "It is impossible to rate too highly the sacrifices that they (Henry Nevinson and Laurence Housman) and H. N. Brailsford, F. W. Pethick Lawrence, Harold Laski, Israel Zangwill, Gerald Gould, George Lansbury, and many others made to keep our movement free from the suggestion of a sex war."
Sharp's journalism made her more aware of working-class women's problems. She joined the Women's Industrial Council and the National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies. In the autumn of 1906 Sharp was sent by the Manchester Guardian to cover the first speech by Elizabeth Robins. After that speech, she joined the Women's Social and Political Union.

874032 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volcanic%20bomb | Volcanic bomb | A volcanic bomb or lava bomb is a mass of molten rock larger than 64 mm (2.5 inches) in diameter. It forms when a volcano throws viscous pieces of lava during a volcanic eruption. They cool into solid objects before they reach the ground. However, they are still very hot when they reach the ground, because they are still partly molten inside. Because volcanic bombs cool after they leave the volcano, they are extrusive igneous rocks. Volcanic bombs can be thrown many kilometers from an erupting fissure vent. They often get aerodynamic shapes during their flight. Lava bombs can be extremely large; the 1935 eruption of Mount Asama in Japan expelled bombs measuring 5–6 m (16-20 ft) in diameter up to from the vent. Volcanic bombs are a significant volcanic hazard, and can cause severe injuries and death to people in an eruption zone. One such incident occurred at Galeras volcano in Colombia in 1993; six people near the summit were killed and several seriously injured by lava bombs when the volcano erupted unexpectedly. On July 16, 2018, 23 people were injured on a tour boat near the Kilauea volcano as a result of a basketball-sized lava bomb from the 2018 lower Puna eruption.
Volcanic bombs are known to occasionally explode from internal gas pressure as they cool, but in most cases, most of the damage they cause is when they hit. As they are still hot when they land, they often cause a fire to start. Bomb explosions are most often observed in "bread-crust" type bombs.

Elton John says Chef helped him make better lyrics for his songs. Ozzy Ozbourne says Chef inspired his bat performance.
Johnny Cochran sees how much people love Chef and agrees to be Chef's lawyer. He uses the Chewbacca defense again and he wins. The record company puts Chef's name on the song.

Many broadcasts were shown in episodes, so many broadcast names looked like "Game Title 第X週" ("Game Title Dai-X-Shuu"), "X" being the week number. Other broadcast names showed the exact date of the broadcast. This often happened with Nintendo Power magazine broadcasts. So each item can be shown once, broadcast names and the number of weeks unique episodes were broadcast are shown, including the dates they were first broadcast.
