894577 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle%20of%20Batibo | Battle of Batibo | The Battle of Batibo was fought during the Anglophone Crisis between Ambazonian separatists and the Cameroon Armed Forces. The battle was fought on March 3, 2018 when Ambazonian rebels attacked Cameroonian units on the Bamenda-Batibo Highway, Batibo Subdivision. At the time, it was reportedly the deadliest confrontation between Cameroonian and Ambazonian forces to date.
Battle
Although the circumstances of the battle remain unclear, reports claim that separatist forces ambushed Cameroonian soldiers who were celebrating the recent recapture of most villages in the Batibo subdivision. The number of casualties on both sides remains unclear, but reports on social media claim that 70 Cameroonian soldiers and "hundreds" of separatists died in the battle.
These casualty figures far outweigh the official figures at the time. Two months after the battle, Cameroon admitted to having lost at least 44 soldiers and policemen since the start of the armed conflict, of whom at least 22 had died between February and May.
Aftermath
The mayor of Batibo, Frederick Tanjoh, said that while the number of casualties was high - people on the ground claimed to have seen a military truck carrying a load of dead bodies - no information had been released by the authorities.
After the battle, mass arrests took place in the villages of the Batibo subdivision. The villages of Gurissen and Kwana in Haut Bafang, Tinto were burnt down by unknown persons, while the villages of Korgwe, Effa, Koroko, Ambo and Angie were completely abandoned. In total, over 4,000 people fled their homes after the battle, including the Fons who abandoned their palaces.

De Marivaux wrote it in 1730. The tittle translates to "The game of love and chance". It is a comedy in three acts.
The play makes use of stock characters from the Commedia dell'arte. In this play, Arlequin is featured. Lisette, who appears in other Marivaux plays, also takes on a stock personality as the feisty servant.
The play is performed regularly, in France. There are several movies, both for television, as well as the cinema.
Summary
At that time, arranged marriages were common. Especially the women did not know the man they would be married to. In this play, a young woman is visited by her fiancé, whom she does not know. To get a better idea of the type of person he is, she trades places with her servant and disguises herself. Her fiancé has the same idea and also trades places with his valet. The "game" pits the two false servants against the two false masters, and in the end, the couples fall in love with their appropriate counterpart.

H.C. Hocken was re-elected mayor defeating Fred McBrien. The election was also notable for the victory of Louis Singer as an alderman, the first member of Toronto's Jewish community elected to city council.
Toronto mayor
Hocken had been mayor since 1912, as a founder of the Toronto Daily Star he was strongly supported by that newspaper and opposed by its rival the Toronto Telegram. In the 1914 election the Telegram supported Alderman McBrien, but Hocken won by a significant margin. Two other candidates ran, but received little support: Alderman Alfred Burgess and Birks.

Toronto mayor
Incumbent mayor H.C. Hocken chose not to run for re-election. Two well-known members of the Board of Control ran to replace him: Tommy Church and Jesse O. McCarthy. Church won. As with most elections at this time in history, it was also a contest between the two main newspapers with the Toronto Daily Star supporting McCarthy and the Toronto Telegram supporting Church.

Jesse O. McCarthy - 19,573
Board of Control
The decision of both Church and McCarthy to run for mayor opened two vacancies on the Board of Control.

Spence, and Joseph Elijah Thompson.

Mayor Tommy Church was elected to his fifth term of office in a row. This election also saw the creation of a new ward, Ward 8, covering the neighbourhood of East Toronto which had recently joined Toronto. The number of representatives for Ward 7 was also increased to three aldermen, like every other ward.
Toronto mayor
Church had first been elected mayor in 1915 and had been re-elected every year since then. He was opposed by several serious opponents, most notably by Controller John O'Neill who was trying to become the first Roman Catholic to be elected mayor of Toronto. Two other important candidates ran, but failed to win much support. They were MP and future mayor Thomas Foster and former controller William Henry Shaw.

894690 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indecent%20exposure | Indecent exposure | Indecent exposure is an expression that describes the fact that a person deliberately shows parts of their body in a way that is not considered good behaviour by local standards, called decency.
These rules or standards vary considerably around the world. Very often, these rules are influenced by religion, morality, or tradition, or they are justified as "necessary to maintain public order". Non-sexual exhibitionism, or public nudity are sometimes considered indecent exposure. If sexual acts are performed, or hinted at, it is very often considered to be indecent exposure. For this there sometimes is a case of gross indecency, which is usually a more serious offence.
Several communities have ideas of what parts of the body need ot be overed in public. Not covering them may be seen as indecent exposure. That way, in many Muslim countries, a woman not wearing a veil may be seen as indecently exposing herself. She may be seen as not being modest.
Note also, that while a woman exposing her breast is sometimes considered indecent exposure, women are very often allowed to breastfeed their children in public without punishment.
Different standards
History
The standard of decency, which also defines what kind of dress is appropriate, developed with the given community. There are societies such as those in Saudi Arabia or Afganistan, which are very strict, as to what clothing needs to be worn at what time. In these societies, modesty requires that most of the body is covered, most of the time. On the other hand, tribal societies, such as the Pirahã or Mursi, usually go naked.
The standards of decency have varied over time. During the Victorian era, for example, exposure of a woman's legs, and the arms, was considered indecent in much of the Western world. Hair was sometimes required to be covered in formal occasions with a hat or bonnet. As late as the 1930s — and sometimes, the 1950s — both women and men were expected to bathe or swim in public places wearing bathing suits that covered above the waist. An adult woman exposing her navel was also considered indecent in parts of the West into the 1960s and 1970s, and even as late as the 1980s. Moral values changed drastically during the 1990s and 2000s. This also changed the criteria for indecent exposure. Public exposure of the navel has been accepted during the 1990s, such as on beaches, while in the 2000s, the buttocks can be exposed while wearing a thong. For many years, however, it was quite common for women to go topless at public beaches throughout Europe and South America and even some parts of the United States. Over the last decade (2010 till 2020) the numbers of women going topless on beaches has taken a sharp drop. This is possibly explained by the rising popularity of the smartphone, combined with websites where peeking men share pictures of (partly) naked women.

Toronto mayor
Charles A. Maguire had been re-elected as mayor in 1922 without any opposition.

Maguire was in favour of the controversial plan. His main opponent was R.J. Fleming who was against the plan. Fleming had previously been mayor several decades before. The radial plan was defeated in a referendum that happened at the same time as the election, but Maguire was re-elected mayor.

894944 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair%20%28event%29 | Fair (event) | A fair is a gathering of people for a variety of entertainment or business related activities. A fair may last for several days or weeks and may occur every year at a specific location.
Types
Some fairs from generally smallest or biggest include:
Village fair, a festival, party or celebration that happens every year or every few years. Traditionally, they were held to celebrate a good harvests or religious gatherings.
Traveling funfair/carnival, an amusement show made up of amusement rides, food stalls, merchandise selling stalls, games of "chance and skill", thrill acts and (now less often) animal acts.
A town/city's street fair or market celebrates character of a neighborhood and local merchants.
County fair (USA) or county show (UK), a public event displaying the equipment, animals, sports and recreation associated with agriculture and animal breeding.
Regional or state fair, an annual competition and recreation get-together. Including exhibits or competitors that have won a prize at the local fairs.
Trade fair, an event held so that companies in a specific industry can showcase and demonstrate their latest products and services, study activities of rivals, and examine recent market trends and opportunities.
Festival, an event ordinarily coordinated with a theme e.g. music, art, season, tradition, history, ethnicity, religion, or a national holiday.
History
The Roman fairs were holidays on which there was an intermission of labor and pleadings. In the Roman provinces of Judea and Syria Palaestina, Jewish rabbis prohibited Jews from participating in fairs in certain towns because the religious nature of the fairs contravened the prescribed practice of Judaism.
In the Middle Ages, many fairs developed as short-lasting markets and were very important for long-distance and international trade. Traders travelled, sometimes for many days, to fairs where they could be sure to meet those they needed to buy from or sell to. Fairs were usually tied to special Christian religious events, such as the Saint's day of the local church. Stagshaw, in England, held annual fairs as early as 1293 consisting of the sales of animals. Along with the main fair held on 4 July, the city also hosted smaller fairs throughout the year where certain types of animals were sold, such as one for horses, one for lambs, and one for ewes.
The Kumbh Mela, held every twelve years, at Allahabad, Haridwar, Nashik, and Ujjain is one of the largest fairs in India, where more than 60 million people gathered in January 2001, making it the largest gathering anywhere in the world. Kumbha means a pitcher and Mela means fair in Sanskrit.
In the United States, fairs draw in as many as 150 million people each summer. Children's competitions at an American fair range from breeding small animals to robotics, whilst the organization 4-H has become a traditional association.

894945 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choro-Q%20Advance | Choro-Q Advance | Choro-Q Advance (Japanese: チョロＱアドバンス Choro-kyū Adobansu) (localized as Gadget Racers in the United States and Penny Racers in Europe) is the first of two Choro-Q video games to be released on the Nintendo Game Boy Advance.
Gameplay
Choro-Q Advance is described as a "CarPG". The main goal of the game is to advance across five sections of a world map, completing several events along the way in several categories (such as a simple race, a speed test, a single lap dash, a drag race or a braking test). Wins earn money and parts, with the player's stats being able to be upgraded through the use of new parts, and also visual customisation of the player's car, spedometer and changing their horn.
There were also other types of races - battle races where players would shoot eachother with weapons equipped to their cars, and races across water that would require floats. These two types would carry onto the sequel.
The game uses a graphical system similar to other GameBoy Advance racing games at the time, with Mode-7 styled ground effects with billboarded sprites intended to give the impression of 3D graphics.
This game allows players to share "bottle racers" with other players that would appear in the races of the players that received said bottle racers. This was included along with a traditional link-play mode via the Game Boy Advance Link Cable.
Trivia
The Japanese version of the game featured a mail system that would inform you of specific things on your journey through the events. This was removed from all other versions of the game.

894949 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agatharchides | Agatharchides | Agatharchides or Agatharchus was a Greek historian and geographer living in the second century BC).
Life
Agatharchides is believed to have been born at Cnidus, he was later a secretary to Heraclides Lembus.
Agatharchides wrote a few words about his own life. At the conclusion of his book On the Erythraean Sea, he apologizes for being unable to complete his work "since our age is unable to similarly bear the toil" and "as a result of the disturbances in Egypt" he could no longer access the official records (a fragment cited by Photius in his Bibliotheca Cod. 250.110, 460b).
Writings
Agatharchides was not well known in ancient times. Of his two major works, Affairs in Asia (Ta kata ten Asian) in ten books, and Affairs in Europe (Ta kata ten Europen) in forty-nine books, only a few fragments survive, too few to provide us with any sense of the contents of either work. However, for his On the Erythraean Sea (Peri tes Erythras Thalasses or De Mari Erythraeo) in five books, almost the entire fifth book, a geographical treatise on the Horn of Africa and the lands around the Red Sea, has survived almost intact. According to Burstein, "the comparative soberness of Agatharchides' treatment compared to previous accounts and the wealth of information contained in it led to a quick recognition . . . [that it was] a valuable summary of the results of Ptolemaic exploration."
In the first book of On the Erythraean Sea was a discussion respecting the origin of the name. In the fifth Agatharchides described the mode of life amongst the Sabaeans in Arabia, and the Ichthyophagi, or fish-eaters, the way in which elephants were caught by the elephant-eaters, and the mode of working the gold mines in the mountains of Egypt, near the Red Sea. His account of the Ichthyophagi and of the mode of working the gold mines, has been copied by Diodorus (iii.12-18). Amongst other extraordinary animals he mentions the camelopard, which was found in the country of the Troglodytae, and the rhinoceros.
An Agatharchides, of Samos, is mentioned by Plutarch, as the author of a work on Persia, and one περὶ λίθων. J.A. Fabricius, however, the true reading is Agathyrsides, not Agatharchides.
Namesake
The crater Agatharchides on the Moon is named in his honour.
