Lenger lanang is a traditional Javanese dance originating from Banyumas, Central Java, Indonesia. This dance has existed for hundreds of years, lengger lanang is not just an ordinary dance, but a tradition of worshiping the Goddess of Fertility (Dewi Sri ) to celebrate harvests or village clean ceremonies that have been passed down from generation to generation. Lengger lanang dance is a form of cross-gender culture in Indonesia. This dance is categorized as cross-gender because the performer is a man who looks like a woman.
Lengger dance is a folk art that has existed and developed for a long time in the agrarian society of Banyumas. Previously, Lengger lanang was considered to have magical-religious elements which were originally staged as a form of community gratitude in a ceremony after the harvest. Even so, the Lengger lanang dance is currently often stigmatized by society and is considered to spread LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender) values in Indonesia.
History
The origin of this dance is not known for certain, but there are many traces of dances in fertility rituals such as the lengger. In the book Tradisi Lengger dan Transformasi (2000) by Sunaryadi, there are two possibilities for the emergence of Lengger art. Some say that Lengger comes from Jatilawang, Banyumas.
There is also a mention that the traditional art originated from Mataram and entered the Kalibagor area, Banyumas in 1755. Actually, the Lengger dance is performed by men but is dressed like a woman. So as if the dance was performed by women.
The Lengger Lanang dance is thought to have appeared in Banyumas in the 18th century. At that time Mangkunegara VII ordered three writers to travel to Java. Then write about the life of the Javanese people at that time. While in Banyumas, the writer encountered the art of Lengger. The art is written on the Serat Centhini. Lengger lanang is believed to have been adapted from the Ronggeng dance, but the difference is that Ronggeng is performed by female dancers.
Meaning
Lengger lanang dance is an art that has fertility and religion. Banyumas people believe that this art contains fertility values. The community considers Lengger lanang as Ana Celeng Gawe Geger , which means that in ancient times when the harvest season arrived, wild boars from the forest came down to agricultural land to damage those being harvested, so that makes the community fail to harvest. Then the community had an idea to drive the animals away with various kinds of beats and sounds.
Where it is sounded simultaneously by men, for women to perform spontaneous movements by waving their hands to the right and left to ward off animals by following the music. This activity continues to be carried out until it becomes a tradition with the birth of the art of Lengger Banyumasan in the community.
In the past, before performing a performance, dancers would perform rituals first, such as fasting Monday and Thursday, or meditating in a certain place. It was done to invite the indang (spirit that possessed the Lengger dancer). One who has attained the indang can dance and sing very well without practice.
Form and movement
The Lengger lanang dance performance is divided into four acts or scenes. The first round is the Gamyongan, the second round is the Lenggeran, the third round is the Badhutan or Bodhoran, and the last is the Baladewaan.
The movement of the Lengger lanang dance is very simple and there is no standard for the details of the movement. Basically, the people in the past did not have special skills, such as what Lengger called Ana Celeng Gawe Geger.
The clothes worn are mekak, jarik cloth, and sampur. At the head using a Javanese bun or bun with simple jewelry, namely a comb made of buffalo horn that looks like a sirkam. The jewelry used to be called cundhuk, then there were menthul and giwang. To the accompaniment of gamelan music or more specifically a set of calung musical instruments.

Music from the Motion Picture: The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn is the soundtrack for the 2011 computer-animated action/adventure film The Adventures of Tintin directed and produced by Steven Spielberg, based on Belgian cartoonist Hergé's comic book series of the same name. The film score is composed by John Williams, which is the first time he had composed the score of a film since Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008) as well as his first score for an animated film. The score was released on 21 October 2011 by Sony Classical Records. Williams received a nomination for Best Original Score at the 84th Academy Awards for his work in the film.
Production
Most of the score was written while the animation was still in the early stages, with Williams seeking to employ "the old Disney technique of doing music first and have the animators trying to follow what the music is doing". Eventually, several cues had to be revised during the editing of the film, when the editor Michael Kahn shown the rough cut. The composer decided to employ various musical styles, with "1920s30s European jazz" for the opening credits and "pirate music" for the battle at sea.
Track list
Accolades
Reception
James Christopher Monger of AllMusic stated that, "Williams does not exaggerate the effects for comic purposes as he does, for example, in his Indiana Jones scores. Rather, this is ear candy for a movie that is equally sweet." Author Brad Kamminga wrote: "John Williams score for The Adventures of Tintin lacks the glorious and splendorous themes that defined many of Williams famous scores. Aside from that The Adventures of Tintin is an excellent score. John Williams, in his old age, proves once again that he has not lost his touch and remains to be a truly unrivaled composer [...] If you are a huge fan of John Williams and his complex works, this is definitely a score you need to purchase, but if you only enjoy the brilliant main theme songs Williams has composed in the past, don’t expect to hear them in this score."
Filmtracks.com wrote "if there is no substitute for John Williams' intellectual superiority over his peers, for even when approaching 80 years old, his comedic adventure techniques dazzle you with complexities of structure and instrumentation not heard elsewhere". Writing for the Limelight (magazine), Francis Merson summarised the review as "John Williams takes on a cartoon legend". Soundtrack Geek-based Jorn Tilnes wrote "John Williams is well and truly back ladies and gentlemen and you can really hear it in the score how terrific a composer he is. It's so full of energy, adventure and action and is perhaps only let down by a slight inconsistency. It doesn't sound like vintage John Williams from start to finish, but there are a lot of fun to be had and although the themes aren't as good as Williams absolute best, they represents Tintin well and some of them are easily remembered.
In the review for Static Mass Emporium, Phil Blanckley summarised "The rhythmic flow of the score keeps you gripped throughout, and although it may not tug at the heartstrings as much as Williams' previous compositions, it does what it is intended to do create the feeling of adventure. At times, it does seem like a never-ending frenzy of a musical mayhem, but it his John williams' at his best."

Robo Defense is a 2009 real-time strategy tower defense video game developed by Lupis Labs. The game was released on 16 September 2009 for Android. The game involves player player placing down turret towers to prevent enemies who come from one end of the map to reach the other end.
Gameplay
Robo Defense is a real-time strategy tower defense game with five different maps. The game could be started by pressing the new game. The player would then be sent to the "select difficulty" screen, where players can choose their desired map and level of difficulty by clicking the top and down arrowhead. The game has only ten different difficulties in the beginning, but new level of difficulties would appear after the player finished the maximum level of difficulty.
After selecting the desired level of difficulty and map, the player start with an empty field/track. After a few moments, the enemies, in the form of little infantry troops, would start appear. The player must place down towers in order to obstruct the path of enemy. To do this, the player must buy one of turret tower displayed in the bottom right corner of the screen by clicking on it. After clicking a tower, the player could drag it into the field of play. The player could upgrade the tower by clicking the turret tower and choosing one of the upgrades available. The player may obstruct the enemy's path by making the route longer through the strategic placement of turret tower, but the player is not allowed to block the enemy's path. Killing an enemy generates in-game cash for the player, which in turn could be use to buy and/or upgrade turret towers. The player would lose a health bar for every enemy that managed to pass to the other end of the map. If the health bar goes down to zero, the player loses the game.
There are several different of enemies and turret towers. The land attacker enemies would follow the route made by the placement of turret towers, while air attacker enemies would went straight ahead for the other end, ignoring the presence of turret tower. Meanwhile, the turret tower has three different types. The machine gun and rocket towers, also known respectively as the blue and yellow towers, could shoot down both land and air attacker. The slow tower, on the other hand, could only slow down enemies. These towers have multiple variants which could be obtained through upgrades.
Development
The game was released for Android on 16 September 2009 by Lupis Labs. The game has two different versions, the paid version and the free version. The paid version of the game has five different maps and unlimited difficulties, while the free version comes with only one map and 11 difficulties and doesn't allow the player to save in-game progress.
Reception
Sales and accolades
The game was named as the best-selling premium Android game in October 2009 and was downloaded 7,600 times over the course of the month. From January to March 2011, the game regained the title of the best-selling premium Android game and was downloaded 186 thousand times in the Android Market.
Critical response
The game received mostly positive reviews, with some comparing the game to Fieldrunners. Jon Mundy, writing for Pocket Gamer, stated the game as being heavily inspired by "medieval siege warfare". He also described the game as a clone of Fieldrunners that almost has the same graphics when compared to Fieldrunners. However, the reviewer praised the game for giving opportunity for players to upgrade and modify the turret tower, since it makes the game significantly differ from the more straightforward gameplay of Fieldrunners.
Andrew Podolsky from GameSpot lauded the game as "precise, well executed, and works very well". Despite criticizing the game as less impressive and the inability to zoom in and out in the opening and ending of the review, Podolsky later praised the game's distinctiveness for allowing the player to increase the level of the turret tower between level changes and the game's ability to customize difficulty and maps. Ryan Paul of Ars Technica commended the game's simplistic user interface and the well appearance of the units and terrain. Despite this, he described the game as "not visually stunning".

Production
Development
In December 2019, it was announced that a revival of The Game was in the works at The CW. The new incarnation, to be written by original series creator Mara Brock Akil and Devon Greggory, would have had a new East Coast setting while allowing original cast members to return. Greggory would serve as showrunner and also executive produce the follow-up series with Akil's fellow original executive producers, Salim Akil and Kelsey Grammer, as well as Tom Russo. However, in January 2020, The CW announced they would not be moving forward with the series.
In September 2020, it was announced that CBS All Access would be developing a sequel series to The Game ahead of its relaunch as Paramount+ in 2021. The series was officially green-lit in May 2021, with Hosea Chanchez, Coby Bell, Brandy, Brittany Daniel, Pooch Hall and Wendy Raquel Robinson to reprise their roles as Malik Wright, Jason Pitts, Chardonnay Pitts, Kelly Pitts, Derwin Davis and Tasha Mack. And the setting relocated to Las Vegas.
On February 1, 2022, Paramount+ renewed the series for a second season with a 10-episode ordered.
Casting
In July 2021, it was reported that the new cast members would be Vaughn W. Hebronhad as Jamison Fields, an undrafted free agent, Adriyan Rae as Brittany Pitts, Jason and Kelly Pitts daughter, (previous portrayed by Katlynn Simone), Analisa Velez as Raquel Navarro, Brittany's best friend, and Toby Sandeman who had been later cast as Garrett Evans, a football player who was drafted from a St. Louis team to the Las Vegas Fury. Tia Mowry-Hardrict, who was cast in Netflix's Family Reunion, made a TikTok video expressing that she will most likely not return to her 2 roles of Sister, Sister and The Game. While being honored at the Ebony 'Power 100''', she was interviewed by Entertainment Tonight saying: “You know what’s so funny? Never say never. I mean, as it stands for right now, we aren’t in any talks or communication about me coming back to the show...I know it seems kind of weird, because I’m like, the only one, but you know, Melanie, I loved playing that character, and if everything works out, and if everything works out the way that it should, then who knows? I might be on the show.”
Release
The first two episodes were released on November 11, 2021, with subsequent episodes releasing weekly until January 5, 2022. The first episode aired on BET on February 16, 2022.
Reception
Critical
Joe Keller, a 'stream it or skip it critic of the review section Decider of the New York Post states "The return of The Game carries on what made the original series so popular: Well-written characters dealing with real issues". He continues, "If you’re expecting gut-busting laughs, then you didn’t watch the later seasons of the original series (seasons 4-9), which veered more towards drama than anything else. There’s enough that’s funny to generate some chuckles here and there, but the show then and now is character-driven, and Greggory and his writers have done a good job creating new compelling characters."
Stacey Yvonne, Black Girl Nerds wrote: "The Game has made all the right moves and delivers a set a of entertaining premiere episodes for old fans and new viewers...the setup is less sitcom-like and more comedic drama. Gone are the multicam shots with room for punchlines and laughs, instead we’re treated to hard hitting and heartfelt situations infused with the type of biting humor The Game is known for...Even though it is a sequel, it’s also an evolution." She continues, "This reboot is faithful, well thought out, and well produced, it's definitely worth tuning in."
The television news outlet TVLine listed Hosea Chanchez as an 'Honorable mention' in their Performer of the Week' review in January 2022 citing: "Chanchez has been a force'' throughout the season, uncovering a more vulnerable side...The actor really drove it home in the season finale, which saw Malik experience an emotional breakdown after finally being honest with himself about what he was going through". They concluded, "We have to applaud Chanchez for breathing fresh new life into a character he’s played for more than a decade-plus an outstanding turn that made us love Malik even more than we already did." A poll was also taken from readers on their season finale recap article early January on how they would grade the finale. The poll was generally favored 65.53% with the grade "A" (excellent) with more than 270 votes out of 412 voting margin.

"Alleluia, dulce carmen" (Alleluia, song of gladness) is a medieval Latin hymn sung during the week before Septuagesima as a preparation to the dismissal of the Alleluia.
History
The earliest form of Alleluia, dulce carmen is found in manuscripts of the 11th century kept at the British Museum.
It was traditionally sung in Gallican liturgies, such as the rite of Lyon, or English liturgies, such as the use of Sarum, in "clausula Alleluia", as a farewell to the Alleluia in the week before the Sunday of Septuagesima, until the first Vespers.
Translations in English language of the Alleluia, dulce carmen, were written by J. Chandler in 1837, Alleluia! Best and Sweetest, later by John Mason Neale in 1851, and many more in the second half of the 19th century with close resemblance.
Melody
Various melodies are currently in use, and while the original medieval manuscripts do not give a specific written melody, English translations of the 19th century relied on the transcriptions from the Gregorian repertoire of François de La Feillée, an 18th-century priest attached to the cathedral at Chartres who had promoted and gathered neo-Gallican chant outside of the strictly Roman liturgy.
Lyrics
Alleluia, dulce mater expresses mixed feelings of joy and bitterness. The setting, which refers to the Babylonian captivity with elements linked to Psalm 134 and Psalm 135, is also the main theme of pre-Lenten celebrations in Eastern Orthodoxy Sundays of the Triodion. It is in contrast with the hymn Alleluia perenne used in the Mozarabic rite in the same liturgical context but which establishes the perpetuity of the alleluia in heaven, underscoring the hope of its gladsome return, and the security that the Church never ceases to sing alleluia throughout the year. Here is the lyric translation by Anglican cleric John Mason Neale, composed in 1851:
Alleluia, dulce carmen
Vox perennis gaudii
Alleluia, laus suavis
Est choris caelestibus,
Quod canunt Dei manentes
In domo per saecula.
Alleluia, laeta mater
Cóncinis, Jerúsalem,
Allelúia, vox tuórum
Civium gaudentium:
Exsules nos flere cogunt
Babylónis flúmina.
Alleluia, non merémur
Nunc perenne psállere,
Allelúia nos reátus
Cogit interímere;
Tempus instat quo peracta
Lugeámus crímina.
Unde laudando precámur
Te, beáta Trínitas,
Ut tuum nobis vidére
Pascha des in æthere
Quo tibi læte canámus
Allelúia pérpetim. Amen.
O Alleluia, song of gladness,
Voice of joy that cannot die;
Alleluia is the anthem
ever dear to choirs on high;
In the house of God abiding
thus they sing eternally.
Alleluia thou resoundest,
True Jerusalem and free;
Alleluia, joyful mother,
All thy children sing with thee;
But by Babylon’s sad waters
mourning exiles now are we.
Alleluia we deserve not
here to chant forevermore;
Alleluia our transgressions
make us for a while give o’er;
For the holy time is coming
bidding us our sins deplore.
Therefore in our hymns we pray Thee,
grant us, blessèd Trinity,
At the last to keep Thine
Easter in our home beyond the sky;
There to Thee forever singing
Allelúia joyfully. Amen.

Konstantinos Koumas (; Larissa, 26 September 1777 - Trieste, 13 May 1836) was a Greek 'Teacher of the Nation', a pioneer of the Modern Greek Enlightenment, a historian, philosopher and translator of literary works.
Biography
Childhood and studies
He was born in Larissa in 1777. His father was Michael Koumas, a fury merchant.
From the fear not to be taken by the Janissaries, he spent his childhood hidden in at home, without ever attending school or church. In 1787, because of the plague epidemic that broke out in Larissa, the family of Koumas left in Tyrnavos. There, little Konstantinos learned how to read the synaxaries at church and the Salvation of Sinners by Landos (Αμαρτωλών Σωτηρία του Λάνδου). Because he developed an enthusiasm for knowledge, his parents delivered him at fifteen at the school of Tyrnavos, where he had Ioannis Pezaros (Ιωάννης Πέζαρος) as his teacher. He was educated by him for six years and he got the reputation of a prominent student. He was taught of Ancient Greek classical writers and basic principles of philosophy jointly with mathematics, geometry and physics, in which he showed special inclination. Metropolitan of Larissa, Dionysis Kaliarchis took him with him in Constantinople and introduced him to the Grand Dragoman of the Sublime Porte, Constantine Ypsilantis. When Constantine was declared Prince of Wallachia, he suggested hiring him at his services, but Koumas refused and returned back to his homeland, where he became a teacher.
Teacher at Tsaritsani and Ampelakia
Because of the constant terrorism of the Turkish, he fled to Tsaritsani where he taught and preached from a pulpit. He taught Greek and scientific studies in simple Greek language by the standards of the democrats and he introduces algebra as a new lesson. In October of 1798, he’s marrying the daughter of his teacher, Ioannis Pezaros.
He then went to Ampelakia, where Gregory Konstantas and the doctor Spyridon Asanis from Kefallonia used to teach. In 1799, Koumas is having a daughter but he loses his wife. Deeply saddened, he fled to the Vineyards, where he occupied with Asanis in translating the work of a French astronomer and mathematician Abbe de la Caille, about conical prefectures.
In Vienna
At the end of 1803, Anthimos Gazis took him with him when he visited at summer, his birthplace. And Koumas wanted passionately to meet “the Enlightened Europe”. At the capital of Austria - Hungary, where he was the chaplain of a prosperous Greek community, he was included in his staff for the publication of his Greek dictionary. Also, Koumas was appointed as a private teacher to the wealthy merchant Stephanos Moschos (Στέφανος Μόσχος), while at the same time he applied to the University, mainly attending math related courses. With the still intense echo of the French Revolution, Vienna at the time is full of liberty and new ideas, it’s a center
of spiritual and artistic movement, already having a university since 1365, while books, newspapers and magazines are being distributed in several languages. He himself is learning German. 1807 was a rough year for Koumas, finding him in a formidable financial situation, after his father’s death.
In Smyrna
In 1808 he received an invitation from the Greeks of Smyrna to take over the management of the newly established Philological Gymnasium of Smyrna. At the urging of Adamantios Korais, who appreciated him for his abilities, he accepted and went there. In this position he taught mathematics, philosophy, experimental physics, geography and ethics, while he organized physical and chemical experiments by equipping the school with the corresponding instruments. With his teaching he introduced rationalism and experimentation, displacing the ecclesiastical tradition of teaching based on memorization and obedience. He gained great reputation as a worthy organizer of schools, and the Patriarch Cyril VII invited him to Constantinople to run the Great School of the Nation. In 1814 he accepted the post of director of the Kourotsesmeio school in Xirokrini (north of Constantinople), where he remained for only one year and returned to Smyrna, where in 1815 his daughter was getting married.
Stance towards the Filiki Etaireia
Koumas was forced to become a member of the Filiki Etaireia, but he was skeptical, if not negative, about the Revolution and the Friends. In his work "Stories of human actions ..." (1832) he describes many friends as moneylenders, who catechized new members because they paid a florin for each new member. He criticizes the Friends because they predicted the certain fall of the Ottoman Empire. He described Alexandros Ypsilantis as "naive and childish". However, this negative attitude towards the Friendly Society was widespread among scholars before the Revolution.
In Germany
In October 1817 the Greek scholar went to Vienna to publish books and to enrich his knowledge. He travels to German universities and meets great contemporary scholars, such as Wolf, Krug, Delling, Kreuzer. He admires the rational spirit of Immanuel Kant. The University of Leipzig awarded him a doctorate in Philosophy and Fine Arts, sending him the corresponding diploma in early 1820, while the Royal Academy in Berlin and the University of Munich, recognized him as an honorary member. After this two-year wandering, which was particularly useful for his intellectual training, he will return back to Smyrna, having in his armory a rich translation and publishing work.
Return to Smyrna
The school of Smyrna, however, in 1819 was closed and Koymas refuses the proposal for the management of the Evangelical School. During his stay there he deals with the translation of a Greco-German dictionary (some "Reimeros"), considering German as the language of devotion to science and rationalism. This work is forced to stop with the declaration of the Greek Revolution. His entire property, including his remarkable library, is confiscated by the Turkish who consider him suspicious.
Greek Revolution and escape to Austria
He escapes on an Austrian ship to Trieste. From there he will go to Vienna where he is arrested by the Austrian police of Metternich on charges of participating in a conspiracy, but is quickly released on restrictive terms. In Vienna he completes the compilation of his dictionary - his only work that he managed to save - and then he will proceed to his publication, while immediately afterwards he will deal with the writing of the History of Human Acts from ancient times until 1831. This work, which he published in the same year in 12 volumes, is his most important intellectual creation. In the period up to 1836, Koumas refused twice to assume duties related to educational activities in Greece due to his fragile health. During his last years he spent in Tergeste/Trieste where he died in 1836 of cholera at the age of 59. His stance on the language issue/His attitude towards language issue Koumas remained over time "the most loyal and consistent follower of Korais", an opponent of the archaic word/ancient Greek language , whom he considers as a brake on the enlightenment effort for the progress of Greek-speaking education. Koumas believed in the social character of education and considered that teaching in a more familiar language contributes decisively to the achievement of this goal. For these reasons he came into conflict with representatives of the archaic language/ ancient Greek language such as Neophytos Doukas.
Pension
From there they arrived after six days of horse riding in the panspermon of Adria in the city of Trieste. In it I met the most knowledgeable, hard-working, for the sake of our generation and respected man from Thessalia, Koyma. It happened there by chance, while I was coming down to Greece after the son of Sophocles and the wise Economos during that (April-day) (1834) of my stay in Trieste. The well-educated Koymas was then writing the general geography and, as usual, he was working thoroughly from morning. Until the fourth hour of the afternoon and, meaning, he went out regularly for a walk.When we did not meet him, he expressed his desire to watch him as long as he wanted to stay in Trieste, because he had some relationship with none other than the expatriates in that city.On the first Sunday of my stay in Trieste, I attended the venerable Koyma in the Greek Orthodox Church, which was also attended by the wise Economos.

Between 1929 and 1995, the composition of Armenia's administrative subdivisions consisted of up to 37 raions (districts) and 22 cities. Originally formed from the territory of the tsarist uezds (counties) between 24 June 1929 and 1930, the districts of the Armenian Soviet Socialist Republic and later the independent Republic of Armenia were combined on 11 April 1995 into ten provinces known as marzer, in addition to Yerevan which being the capital of the country was granted a special administrative status. Prior to the establishment of the raions, Soviet Armenia consisted of nine uezds, three of which (Dilijan, Meghri, and Lori-Pambak) were formed after the Sovietization of Armenia and the 1921 delineation of the South Caucasian republics' frontiers.

Lisle was a type of finish that was applied to obtain smooth and even yarns, largely employed for goods intended for underwear and hosiery. Yarns made with long-staple fibers such as Egyptian cotton were passed repeatedly and swiftly through gas flames. The action removes the fuzzy and protruding fibers. The finish adds smoothness, gloss, and evenness to the yarn. Most often, yarn done with a lisle finish was referred to as " Lisle yarn." or "Lisle thread." These were plied, high-twisted, gassed combed yarns of long-staple cotton.
Another method of "lisle" was on finishing fabrics, in which hosiery fabric was treated with a weak acid solution like as hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid, the fabric was then tumble dried without washing at a temperature of a hundred degrees Fahrenheit. The acid and tumble exposure remove the loose ends and fuzziness from the fabric, which is subsequently neutralised with an alkaline solution to prevent further acid damage.
Etymology
Lisle is derived from the French city Lille, It was formerly known as Lisle and served as a textile hub.
Use
Lisle was used to manufacture underwear, hosiery, stockings, and sports wear.

Şehzade Mehmed Nizameddin (; 10 January 1909 – 10 March 1933) was an Ottoman prince, the son of Şehzade Yusuf Izzeddin and the grandson of Sultan Abdulaziz.
Biography
Şehzade Mehmed Nizameddin was born on 10 January 1909 in the Beşiktaş Palace. His father was Şehzade Yusuf Izzeddin, son of Sultan Abdulaziz and Dürrünev Kadın and his mother was Leman Hanım, a Circassian. He had two sisters, Şükriye Sultan, two years older than him and Mihrişah Sultan, seven years younger than him. He was the third child and second son of his father, and the second child of his mother.
After his father's death in 1916, he and his mother and sisters resided as a guest in Dolmabahçe Palace for four months as she sought the distribution of the estate of the late prince from Sultan Mehmed V. He was educated at the princes school. By 1918 he was serving in the Ottoman army as sergeant in the unit of Infantry, a part of the second general staff.
At the exile of the imperial family in March 1924, Nizameddin and his sister Mihrişah settled in Romania. In exile, Nizameddin led an unhealthy lifestyle which made him ill, after which his mother came to stay with him for a while. On the other hand, his sister Şükriye took Mihrişah with her to Cairo, Egypt. He had begun drinking and had tuberculosis. At the doctor's recommendation, Nizameddin went to Locarno, Switzerland, for treatment in 1931. However, by this time his disease had become incurable.
Osman Fuad came to see him in Switzerland. Nizameddin died on 10 March 1933, Osman Fuad carried his body to Cairo, Egypt, where he was buried. On 16 August 1967, he was reburied in the mausoleum of his great grandfather Sultan Mahmud II located in Divanyolu, Istanbul.

The 2022 Tierra del Fuego wildfire is a fire affecting the Chilean commune of Timaukel in the west of Tierra del Fuego Island in southernmost South America. The fire was discovered on January 20 but since no flames could be found it was reportedly believed that it was already extinguished. It begun in land owned by the forestry company Forestal Russfin. Days later the fire was envigorated and consumed various hectares of forest.
By February 7 the fire had consumed 1,357 hectares of forest. The same day personnel from National Forest Corporation (Conaf) declared that the wildfire had been contained but that a reemergence was possible. Senator Guido Girardi called for cooperation with Argentina, European countries and the United States in facing to face emergency.
By February 12 the wildfire continued to burn and was affecting peatlands. It was also closing in toward Karukinka Natural Park. During the weekend of February 12 and 13 winds reactivated various focii of fire, but as of February 16 the fire was largely either contained or "under control". Aída Baldini, manager of the wildfire division of the National Forest Corporation, declared in late February that peatlands had largely escaped the fire given that they were humid.

Bill Buckner's 1986 World Series error was a baseball play that occurred in Game 6 of the 1986 World Series on October 25, 1986, at Shea Stadium in Queens, New York.
Buckner's tenth-inning error in Game 6 of the 1986 World Series against the New York Mets remains one of the most memorable plays in baseball history; it was long considered part of a curse on the Red Sox that kept them from winning the World Series, and led to years of fan anger and public mockery that Buckner handled graciously before being embraced by Red Sox fans again after their 2004 World Series victory.
The play is often known as the "Buckner play" and is blamed on the first baseman, but Mookie Wilson's smart at-bat and speed also affected the course of events. (If Buckner had made that play and Wilson had been safe, Howard Johnson would have been the next batter with runners on first and third. If Wilson had been put out by Buckner, the game would have gone into an 11th inning.)
Background
During the season, Buckner started all 162 games and shattered his own big league record with 184 assists. Toward the end of the season, he was hobbled by leg injuries and struggled throughout the playoffs.
In 1986, it appeared that the Boston Red Sox's fortunes were about to change. The team's hitting and offense had remained strong with Jim Rice, Dwight Evans, Bill Buckner, Don Baylor, and future Hall of Famer Wade Boggs who would win 5 batting titles. Roger Clemens led the pitching staff, going 24–4 with a 2.48 ERA to win both the American League Cy Young and Most Valuable Player awards. Clemens became the first starting pitcher to win both awards since Vida Blue in 1971. This feat has been replicated twice since then (Justin Verlander in 2011, Clayton Kershaw in 2014).
The Red Sox won the AL East for the first time in 11 seasons, prompting a playoff series against the California Angels in the American League Championship Series. The teams split the first two games in Boston, but the Angels won the next two games at their home stadium, taking a 3–1 lead in the series. With the Angels poised to win the series, the Red Sox trailed 5–2 heading into the ninth inning of Game 5. A two-run homer by Baylor cut the lead to one. With two outs and a runner on, and one strike away from elimination, Dave Henderson homered off Donnie Moore to put Boston up 6–5. Although the Angels tied the game in the bottom of the ninth, the Red Sox won in the 11th on a Henderson sacrifice fly off Moore. The Red Sox then found themselves with six- and seven-run wins at Fenway Park in Games 6 and 7 to win the American League title.
Before the 1986 New York Mets season, Nelson Doubleday Jr. sold his publishing company to the (then) West German multinational corporation Bertelsmann AG, and used the proceeds from the sale to buy the Mets in his own name for $81 million. He then sold a half-stake to Fred Wilpon, making them equal partners in the team.
Unlike the league champion Mets of 1969 or 1973, the 1986 Mets hit the ground running, breaking away from the rest of the division early and dominating throughout the entire year. They won 20 of their first 24 games, clinched the East Division title on September 17, and finished the year 108–54, which tied with the 1975 Cincinnati Reds for the third highest win total in National League history, behind the 1906 Chicago Cubs (116) and the 1909 Pittsburgh Pirates (110). The relative lack of excitement during the regular season was more than compensated for by the spectacularly suspenseful and dramatic post-season series.
Postseason
In the National League Championship Series, the Mets faced their fellow 1962 expansion team, the Houston Astros. Unlike the Mets, the Astros had yet to win a pennant, but had former Mets pitchers Mike Scott, the league's Cy Young Award winner, and fireballer Nolan Ryan leading their pitching staff. The Mets took a two-games-to-one lead with a come-from-behind walk-off home run by Lenny Dykstra. In Game 6, the Mets turned a 3–0 ninth-inning deficit into a sixteen-inning marathon victory to clinch the National League pennant and earn their third World Series appearance, their first since 1973.
After New York scored three runs in the top of the 9th to force extra innings, they scored three more runs in the top of the 16th. Houston soon answered with two of its own before Jesse Orosco fanned Kevin Bass to end the game. The Astros would have to wait until 2005 to finally win their first pennant.
In the postseason for the first time in his career, Mookie Wilson batted just .115 in the NLCS against the Astros. However, he scored the only run allowed by NLCS MVP Mike Scott in Game 4 of the series, and drove in and scored a run in the ninth inning of Game 6, when the Mets scored three runs in their last at bat to send the game into extra innings. He was batting a far better .273 in the World Series when he came to the plate in the tenth inning of Game 6.
The setup
World Series Game 6
The 1986 Red Sox were leading the heavily favored New York Mets 3 games to 2 in the 1986 World Series when Game 6 went into extra innings. For his part, Buckner was batting just .143 against Mets pitching, and he was 0–for–5 in Game 6. When the Sox scored 2 runs in the top of the tenth, Boston manager John McNamara chose to have Buckner take the field in the bottom of the inning instead of bringing Dave Stapleton in as a defensive replacement for the ailing Buckner, as he had in Games 1, 2, and 5.
The play
After retiring Wally Backman and Keith Hernandez, Red Sox relief pitcher Calvin Schiraldi surrendered singles to the next three batters, Gary Carter, Kevin Mitchell and Ray Knight, to bring the score to 5–4 with runners on first and third. With Mookie Wilson stepping up to the plate, Bob Stanley replaced Schiraldi on the mound. During his ten pitch at-bat, Wilson avoided being hit by a wild pitch that scored Kevin Mitchell from third and tied the score. Two pitches later, he hit a slow roller to Bill Buckner at first base.
Aware of Wilson's speed, Buckner tried to rush the play. As a result, the ball rolled beside his glove, through his legs and into right field, allowing Ray Knight to score the winning run from second base.
Had Buckner fielded the ball with Wilson safe at first, the score would have remained tied for the next Mets batter. Had Buckner put out Wilson at first base, Game 6 would have gone to an 11th inning.
The calls
Jack Buck
The national radio coverage of the 1986 World Series was handled by CBS Radio Sports with Jack Buck calling the play-by-play alongside then Detroit Tigers manager Sparky Anderson. The following is a word-for-word transcript of Buck and Anderson's commentary during the final moments of Game 6:
J = Jack Buck
S = Sparky Anderson
J: Wild pitch. Here's the pitch to Mookie Wilson. Winning run at second. Ground ball to first, it is a run...an error! An error by Buckner! The winning run scores! The Mets win it 6 to 5 with three in the tenth! The ball went right through the legs of Buckner and the Mets with two men out and nobody on have scored three times to bring about a seventh game, which will be played here tomorrow night. Folks, it was unbelievable. An error, right through the legs of Buckner. There were two on, nobody out, a single by Carter, a single by Mitchell, a single by Ray Knight, a wild pitch, an error by Buckner. Three in the ninth for the Mets. They've won the game 6-5 and we shall play here... tomorrow night! Well, open up the history book, folks, we've got an entry for you...What do you think, Sparky?
S: I never seen nothing like it. Here you got two out, two run lead, you figure Carter up, he can't even hurt you. He gets a base hit, another base hit, another base hit...wild pitches, ball rolls through the guys legs. I've never seen nothing like it, Jack.
Bob Murphy
Locally in New York, radio coverage the 1986 World Series was broadcast on WHN with Bob Murphy and Gary Thorne on the call.
Murphy: A slow ground ball went right through the legs of Buckner down the
right field line. The Mets have won the ballgame. Three runs in the bottom
half of the 10th inning. Three runs in the 10th inning. They were down to
their final strike twice in the bottom half of the 10th inning, they win
the ballgame. I thought the ground ball was going to be foul, it stayed
fair. It went right through the legs of Billy Buckner and down the right
field line.
Thorne: Bob, what is Billy Buckner doing in the game in the bottom of 10th
inning?
Vin Scully
The 1986 World Series was televised by NBC with Vin Scully on the call alongside Joe Garagiola. Scully's call of the final play in Game 6 of the 1986 World Series would quickly become an iconic one to baseball fans, with the normally calm Scully growing increasingly excited: "So the winning run is at second base, with two outs, three and two to Mookie Wilson. [A] little roller up along first... behind the bag! It gets through Buckner! Here comes Knight, and the Mets win it!" Scully then remained silent for more than three minutes, letting the pictures and the crowd noise tell the story. Scully resumed with "If one picture is worth a thousand words, you have seen about a million words, but more than that, you have seen an absolutely bizarre finish to Game 6 of the 1986 World Series. The Mets are not only alive, they are well; and they will play the Red Sox in Game 7 tomorrow!"
After the top of the tenth, NBC began setting up in the visiting clubhouse for what they believed was the inevitable postgame victory celebration by the Boston Red Sox. The Commissioner's Trophy had been brought into the Red Sox clubhouse along with several bottles of champagne, and Bob Costas was to preside over the presentation. However, after Bob Stanley's wild pitch in the bottom of the tenth, everything was quickly struck and removed from the room before the Red Sox returned. Costas later recalled the removal of all the equipment for the postgame celebration as being "like a scene change in a Broadway musical. In, out, gone, not a trace."
Aftermath
Game 7
Boston led Game 7 by a 3–0 score heading into the bottom of the sixth inning when New York rallied again, scoring 3 runs off Bruce Hurst to tie the game, and 3 more off of Schiraldi in the seventh to take a 6–3 lead. Buckner was 2–for–4 in the game, and scored 1 of Boston's 2 runs in the eighth. However, the Mets also scored twice in the eighth and won 8–5, for their second and most recent World Series championship. Mookie Wilson meanwhile, went one for three in Game 7, scoring one of three runs the Mets plated in the sixth inning while trailing 3–0.
Mets' pitcher Jesse Orosco ending the game by striking out Marty Barrett. Orosco then threw his glove high in the air and dropped to his knees while catcher Gary Carter ran to the mound to embrace him. This scene was captured on film and would become an iconic image, taken by Mets photographer George Kalinsky, in Mets baseball history and in all of baseball. The Mets remained the only team to come within one strike of losing a World Series before recovering to become World Champions, until the St. Louis Cardinals did it in 2011. The Mets winning this World Series is the highest-rated single World Series game to date. The Mets were also the first team to win a World Series in a potential clinching game delayed by rain, as Game 7 was postponed by one day.
Curses
Regardless of any of the other perceived shortcomings that led to Boston's loss in the 1986 World Series, Buckner's error epitomized the "Curse of the Bambino" in the minds of Red Sox fans, and he soon became the scapegoat for a frustrated fan base.
While not falling under the curse in the traditional sense, Buckner's infamous gaffe in Game 6 of the 1986 World Series can also be interpreted to fit the Ex-Cubs Factor and/or the Curse of the Billy Goat. Upon video analysis, Buckner, a former Chicago Cub for seven seasons, was shown to be wearing a Cubs batting glove under his mitt when he made the error.
Buckner, the Red Sox, and the Mets beyond 1986
Buckner began receiving death threats and was heckled and booed by some of his own home fans, often with the false belief or implication that his play alone could have instantly won the series for the Red Sox. Meanwhile, he was the focal point of derision from the fans of opposing teams on the road—especially when he faced the Mets in spring training of 1987—and during his first regular-season at bat at Yankee Stadium. He made his 2,500th career hit on May 19, an RBI single in a 4-1 road loss to the Kansas City Royals, but the Red Sox released Buckner on July 23 after he recorded a .273 batting average, 2 home runs, and 42 RBI in 75 games.
After spending his last few seasons with the California Angels, Kansas City Royals, and the Red Sox, Buckner became the 21st player in MLB history to play in four decades. He ended his career with 2,715 hits and 498 doubles, having batted over .300 seven times. Buckner led his league in assists four times, with his 1985 mark remaining the American League (AL) record. He retired with the fourth-most assists by a first baseman (1,351) in major league history despite not playing the position regularly until he was 27 years old. After retiring as a player, Buckner became a real estate developer in Idaho. He coached a number of Minor League Baseball (MiLB) teams before leaving baseball in 2014.
The Red Sox returned to the postseason in 1988. With the club in fourth place midway through the 1988 season at the All-Star break, manager John McNamara was fired and replaced by Joe Morgan on July 15. Immediately the club won 12 games in a row, and 19 of 20 overall, to surge to the AL East title in what would be referred to as Morgan Magic. But the magic was short-lived, as the team was swept by the Oakland Athletics in the ALCS. Ironically, the MVP of that Series was former Red Sox pitcher and Baseball Hall of Fame player Dennis Eckersley, who saved all four wins for Oakland.
While the 1986 Mets were undeniably strong, they also gained infamy for off-the-field controversy. Both Strawberry and Gooden were youngsters who wound up burning out long before their time because of various substance abuse and personal problems. Hernandez's cocaine abuse was the subject of persistent rumors even before he joined the Mets, but he publicly acknowledged his addiction in 1985 and made a successful recovery. Lenny Dykstra's reputation was recently tainted by allegations of steroid use and gambling problems.
Instead of putting together a winning dynasty, the problems caused the Mets to soon fall apart.
Despite Darryl Strawberry's numerous off-the-field mishaps, he remains the Mets' all-time leader in home runs and runs batted in.
This World Series championship by the Mets had a strange twist: Lou Gorman, the general manager of the Red Sox, was vice president, player personnel, of the Mets from 1980 to 1983. Working under Mets' GM Frank Cashen, with whom Gorman served with the Orioles, he helped lay the foundation for the Mets' championship.

Charlie Sheen purchased the "Buckner Ball" at auction in for $93,000, and for a long time, it resided in the collection of songwriter Seth Swirsky, who refers to it as the "Mookie Ball." The ball was on loan for a time from Swirsky to the Mets to display in their Mets Hall of Fame and Museum, and it was among the most popular artifacts for fans to see. On May 3, 2012, Swirsky sold the ball through Heritage Auctions for $418,250.
Buckner made a cameo appearance at the beginning of the sports parody film The Comebacks and
was featured in an episode of the HBO series Curb Your Enthusiasm. Also, he made a cameo appearance in the pilot episode of the short-lived sitcom Inside Schwartz, advising the title character to "just let it go." In 1995, Buckner appeared along with Michael Jordan, Stan Musial, Willie Mays and Ken Griffey, Jr. in a commercial for the shoemaker Nike in which Spike Lee, in character as Mars Blackmon, compares Jordan's baseball skills to Musial, Mays, Griffey and Buckner. The punch line is a visual reference to Buckner's 1986 World Series error. His famous 1986 World Series miscue is also referenced in the films Celtic Pride, Rounders, and Fever Pitch. The play also is referenced in an episode of The Simpsons titled "Brother's Little Helper" and in the musical Johnny Baseball. On October 23, 2008, during former Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan's testimony in House hearings on the economic crisis of 2008, Representative John Yarmuth referred to Greenspan as one of "three Bill Buckners." Buckner and Mookie Wilson appeared in an MLB Network commercial for the 2016 postseason, "Catching Up", marking the 30th anniversary of the 1986 World Series and their roles in it.
Buckner is mentioned in The Areas of My Expertise in a series of New England sports references. In the book, John Hodgman describes a (fictional) radio personality and recounts the premonition she had regarding Buckner's infamous error in Game 6 of the 1986 World Series.
The Leonard P. Zakim Bunker Hill Memorial Bridge, in Boston, is colloquially referred to locals as the Bill Buckner Bridge because traffic goes between the "legs" of the bridge, like Buckner's 1986 World Series fielding error. The nickname is now spoken fondly, since Buckner and Sox fans thought fondly of each other after the 2004 World Series win.
Similar plays
Leon Durham is himself, widely remembered for an error that he made at first base during the 1984 National League Championship Series. In the bottom of the seventh inning in the decisive fifth game between Durham's Chicago Cubs and the San Diego Padres, the Padres sent pinch-hitter Tim Flannery to face the Cubs' ace pitcher Rick Sutcliffe.
Through the top of the sixth inning, the Cubs had a 3–0 lead, aided by Durham's home run off Eric Show in the first inning. In the bottom of the sixth inning, the Padres cut the Cubs' lead to 3–2 with a pair of singles by Alan Wiggins and Tony Gwynn, a walk to Steve Garvey, and sacrifice flies by Graig Nettles and Terry Kennedy. The bottom of the seventh inning kicked off with Carmelo Martínez walking on four pitches from Sutcliffe. Garry Templeton then sacrificed Martínez to second, setting things up for Tim Flannery. Martinez would then score when Flannery hit a sharp grounder that trickled through Leon Durham's legs for an error.
The error became known as the "Gatorade Glove Play" because before taking his position in the field that inning, Gatorade was spilled on Durham's glove. Some Cub fans believe the Gatorade spilled on Durham's glove amounted to a curse, similar to the goat and Bartman curses of Cub lore.
The play would also turn out to be very similar, in style and effect, to Bill Buckner's much-discussed error in the 1986 World Series. The coincidental connection between these two events is that Durham had been moved from the outfield to first base during the 1984 season, replacing Buckner after the Cubs traded him to the Boston Red Sox for pitcher Dennis Eckersley. Buckner's error, like Durham's, would be seen as turning a post-season series around. The same joke even circulated for both incidents: That they had been despondent, jumped in front of a moving truck, and "the truck went between their legs".
The Padres wound up winning the game 6–3 to reach the World Series for the first time ever. The Cubs had won the first 2 games of the series (1984 marked the last time that the League Championship Series was a best-of-five series) over the Padres. Incidentally, Durham went 3-for-20 in the NLCS, garnering two of his three hits in the final two games on home runs (his shot in Game 4 had given the Cubs a 3–2 lead).

Franz Xaver Karl Gewey (14 April 1764 – 18 October 1819) was an Austrian civil servant, and a writer and dramatist of popular satirical pieces.
Life
Gewey was born in Vienna, son of a lawyer. He studied law, and from 1784 was employed at the Hofkriegsrat, then in Klagenfurt at the presidential chancellery; from 1795 he was a court chancellor in Vienna.
From an early age he was interested in the theatre, playing on amateur stages with Joachim Perinet. He had a talent for parody and comic depictions of everyday life in Vienna.
Gewey's early plays Die Modesitten ("The fashionable ways") and Pygmalion were well received, and went on to write further satirical pieces, that were in tune with the popular mood at that time. He was also successful with his serious play Der seltene Prozeß ("The remarkable trial"). Most of his plays were not printed and are now lost.
After the death of in 1813 he took over the writing of the popular ("Letters from Eipeldauer, recently arrived in Vienna, to his cousin in Kakran"), continuing until his death in 1819. They are of interest, being written in dialect and showing local customs of the day. Also popular were his Komische Gedichte über die Stadt und die Vorstädte Wiens ("Comic poems about the city and the suburbs of Vienna"), in four issues during 1812, with two further issues by Gewey and Karl Meisl.
His character
He was described by the writer : "It was a great pleasure to be in Gewey's company; constant cheerfulness, a bubbly mood, there was laughter and laughter. Even his open, clear, jovial expression was heart-warming.... He spoke very loudly, laughed even louder, really resoundingly, and fell into looking glaring, grotesque; he was also quite fond of the genre of cynicism. Parody spiced with a little sarcasm was his sphere".

Tor-tor dance is a traditional Batak dance originating from North Sumatra, Indonesia. Based on history, this dance was originally a ritual and sacred dance performed at funerals, healing ceremonies, and other. The entry of Hindu-Buddhist culture, this dance gained influence and developed not only as a ritual dance. The Tor-tor dance was then held as entertainment and spectacle for Batak residents. In addition, the traditional clothes worn by Tor-tor dancers also changed and underwent modifications to make them more attractive.
The dancers will be accompanied by gondang music. This music will produce the sound of the dancers pounding their feet on the stage. Tor-tor dance is a Batak regional dance that contains the meaning of communication. In addition, this dance also has a spiritual messages.
History
This dance is thought to have existed since the ancient Batak era. At that time, the tor-tor dance was used as a dance offering to ancestral spirits. The name of this dance comes from the word tor tor, which is the sound of the dancer's feet pounding on the floorboards of a Batak traditional house.
Some argue that the purpose of this dance is for funerals, harvests, healing, entertainment or youth parties. In addition, before performing the dance must go through certain rituals. Until now there has been no scientific literature that explains the history of the tor tor dance and the gondang nine that accompanies it. However, there are records from the colonial era that describe the journey of the tortor dance. Although it comes from the Batak, it turns out that if we traced this dance, it was influenced by India, even further, this dance also has links with Babylonian culture. There is an opinion that estimates that the tor tor dance has existed since the 13th century AD and has become part of the Batak culture.
The early development of this dance was only in the life of the Batak people in the Samosir, Toba and parts of the Humbang area. In practice, the tor-tor dance also involves several stone statues that have been entered by spirits and the statues will "dance". Then the tor tor dance underwent a transformation along with the entry of Christianity in the Silindung area. At that time, the tor-tor culture was better known as the art of modern singing and dance. The tor-tor dance in Pahae is known for its joyful dance and rhyming song called tumba or pahae do mula ni tumba. From here, the tor tor dance is no longer related to spirits and other supernatural elements, but becomes a cultural device that is inherent in the life of the Batak people.
Form and movement
Tor-tor is not only a dance, but also a medium of communication. This can be seen through the movements that are staged involving interactions between ceremony participants.
The costumes worn by tor tor dancers are ulos cloth. Ulos is a traditional Batak cloth, ulos colors used are generally red, black and white with decorations of course from gold or silver threads. In the past, the use of ulos was only limited as a scarf and even only found in traditional ceremonies. However, as tourist arrivals increase, this cloth is also used as souvenirs.
The tor-tor dance has very simple movements, making it easy to learn. Even those who try it for the first time will immediately be able to play it. This dance movement is limited to the movement of the hands waving up and down simultaneously. Then there is also the stamping of the feet in accordance with the strains of mangondangi or gondang music.
Before the gondang music is played, the hasuhutan or the host will ask the gondang musicians for something. The request was made with courtesy at every opportunity. If one request has been completed and fulfilled, it will be interspersed with gondang beats with a certain rhythm. This is done as a form of blessing from gondang music to all members of the tor tor ceremony.
The song played in the tor-tor dance is a song with the theme of asking God and ancestral spirits so that all family members are given safety, prosperity, happiness, abundance of sustenance, and hope that traditional ceremonies can be a source of sustenance, blessings for family and society.

The Museo Nacional Aeronáutica y del Espacio (MNAE) is an institution responsible for disseminating the aeronautical heritage in Chile.
History
It was created on July 13, 1944, as Museo de Aviación, during the government of Juan Antonio Ríos, by Supreme_Decree No. 486, which stipulated, among other things, that it would be located in Santiago, that it would depend on the General Directorate of Civil Aeronautics and that it would be developed thanks to donations and expenditures.
Originally located at Cathedral Street in Central Santiago, it later moved to other facilities belonging to the Directorate of Aeronautics and the Museo Histórico Nacional. In 1968, it was transferred to the Paris Pavilion of the Quinta Normal, which is now occupied by the Museo Artequin; Finally, on September 20, 1988, construction began on the modern museum building, located in Cerrillos commune on land that previously belonged to Los Cerrillos Airport (Avenida Pedro Aguirre Cerda No. 5000). The architect in charge of its design was Fernando Torres Arancibia.
On March 9, 1992, the museum was inaugurated by the then president of Chile, Patricio Aylwin, the minister of defense, Patricio Rojas, the commander in chief of the Fuerza Aérea de Chile, Ramón Vega, the general director of civil aeronautics, José de la Fuente, and the director of the museum, Mario Jahn. Later, the then president, Eduardo Frei Ruiz-Tagle, signed Supreme Decree No. 800 of October 26, 1995, with which the character of "national" was recognized and it obtained its current name.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the MNAE has been closed to the public since April 2020, and there is no date for its definitive reopening.

Bizarre was a semi-professional science fiction magazine that produced a single issue in 1941. It was published by two science fiction fans, Walter E. Marconette and Jack Chapman Miske. It was the continuation of Scienti-Snaps, a fanzine which Marconette had launched in January 1938, with Miske joining him as editor in August 1939. Another fan, William Hamling, had produced a semi-professional magazine, Stardust, the previous year, and Marconette and Miske contacted Hamling and obtained his help in assembling Bizarre. Science fiction historian Howard DeVore suggests that the two editors were planning to turn the magazine into a fully professional enterprise, but the only issue they produced included much fan-oriented material.
There were only two stories in the magazine. One was "The Thing in the Moonlight", a fragment by H.P. Lovecraft, and the other, by A. Merritt, was the original ending to his novel Dwellers in the Mirage. The novel had been published with a different ending in Argosy in 1932; the ending in Bizarre is the one used in modern editions. The non-fiction including an autobiographical piece by Hannes Bok, who also contributed the cover art; an essay by E.E. Smith, and an article on writing by John W. Campbell.
A second issue, to be dated March 1941, was announcted in the editorial, but it did not appear, and DeVore speculates that the costs were too great for Marconette to continue.
Bibliographic details
The publishers and editors were Walter E. Marconette and Jack Chapman Miske; the magazine was printed in Cleveland, Ohio. The single issue was dated January 1941, and was numbered volume 4, issue 1, continuing the numeration of Scienti-Snaps. It was digest-sized, 22 pages long, and priced at 20 cents.

The Needles is a mountain ridge located within Olympic National Park in Jefferson County of Washington state.
Description
The peaks and pinnacles of The Needles are part of the Olympic Mountains and are situated within the Daniel J. Evans Wilderness. They are bounded by Mount Deception to the south and Gray Wolf Ridge to the north. Precipitation runoff from the ridge drains east into Royal Creek, and west into Gray Wolf River, which are both within the Dungeness River drainage basin. Old-growth forests of Douglas fir, western hemlock, and western redcedar grow on the lower slopes surrounding the peaks.
History
This geographical feature's descriptive name has been officially adopted by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names. The 1889–90 Seattle Press Expedition originally named it the "Holmes Range". The expedition, led by James Halbold Christie and Charles Adams Barnes, had also christened Mount Deception as "Mount Holmes", in honor of John H. Holmes of the Boston Herald.
Climate
Based on the Köppen climate classification, the Needles range is located in the marine west coast climate zone of western North America. Most weather fronts originate in the Pacific Ocean, and travel east toward the Olympic Peninsula. As fronts approach, they are forced upward by the peaks, causing moisture to drop in the form of rain or snowfall (Orographic lift). As a result, the range experiences high precipitation, especially during the winter months. During winter months, weather is usually cloudy, but due to high pressure systems over the Pacific Ocean that intensify during summer months, there is often little or no cloud cover during the summer. The months July through September offer the most favorable weather for visiting The Needles.

Geology

The city of Srinagar in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir, India, originally had seven wooden bridges across the Jhelum River. The seven bridges Amira, Habba, Fateh, Zaina, Aali, Nawa and Safa were constructed between the 15th and 18th century. This number remained unchanged for at least five centuries. In the Kashmiri language, these bridges are known as kadals. Localities around them have been eponymously named.
The old seven bridges are of similar construction and made of Cedrus deodara. Apart from heavy rocks used to add weight to the foundation, the entire bridge was made of wood. A number of passages allow for the flow of water making them considerably strong against water level and flow changes. They have been reconstructed a number of times. In 1841, bridges 3 to 7 were washed away. In 1893, bridges 2 to 7 were washed away.

Alexander Arkadyevich Kobrinsky (Russian: Алекса́ндр Арка́дьевич Ко́бринский, born March 20, 1967, Leningrad) is a Russian literary critic, opposition politician and lawyer, ex-deputy of the Legislative Assembly of St. Petersburg of the 5th convocation (2011–2016). Doctor of Philology, professor.
Biography
Graduate of Herzen University in St. Petersburg, Russia. In 1992 defended his Ph.D. thesis "Prose of Daniil Kharms", in 1999 – his doctoral dissertation "OBERIU Poetics in the Context of the Russian Literary Avant-Garde of the 20th Century". Kobrinsky worked as a professor at the Department of Russian Literature of the Russian State Pedagogical University. In 2019, he resigned due to sexual harassment complaints from female students.
Specialist in the Russian avant-garde. Managing editor of the scientific journal "Summer School on Russian Literature", published by the St. Petersburg Institute of Jewish Studies.
Political activity
In 2006, Kobrinsky appealed to the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation with a demand to recognize the illegal forced evacuation of cars and their placement in a car impound in case of violation of traffic rules by drivers. The process was lost.
Kobrinsky was a member of the federal bureau of the Yabloko party. In December 2011, he was elected to the Legislative Assembly of St. Petersburg of the 5th convocation (2011–2016) on the regional list of the Yabloko party. In 2020, he was nominated by the Yabloko party as a candidate for the by-elections of a deputy of the legislative assembly of St. Petersburg. However, the elections were canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Allegations of sexual harassment
In October 2020, the testimonies of many former students of Herzen University were published, in which they claimed sexual harassment by a former university teacher Alexander Kobrinsky. The published material claimed that Kobrinsky, being a professor, repeatedly invited students to visit, treated them to alcohol, and had sexual relations with them; two girls said that he allegedly forced them into BDSM sessions.
Kobrinsky did not deny the fact of relations with students, however, he said that he called them to his home "exclusively for educational purposes." He denied the incorrectness of his actions, saying that he did not use his official position when courting women. According to him, until the moment of publication, the students and graduate students whom he invited to his apartment “did not have any questions”. Kobrinsky confirmed the information that he told one of the students about gynecological examinations, noting that it could be “a euphemism in terms of sexual contacts”.
After the publication of the article, the Yabloko Party Bureau refused to take any action. After that, members of the Yabloko party created a working group to verify the information provided in the media regarding the former deputy from the party. Members of the working group talked to the authors of the material and the girls who made claims, and said that they could not find any reason to recognize the information as false. Also, members of the working group reported that in the course of their work, a woman who was a member of the party turned to them, alleging harassment by Kobrinsky.
In December 2020, Kobrinsky filed a claim for the protection of honor and dignity against the journalist of the Kholod publication Sonya Volyanova, who published a text about sexual harassment of female students by Kobrinsky. In December 2021, the Petrogradsky District Court of St. Petersburg satisfied Kobrinsky's claim, requiring Volyanova to publish a refutation and pay Kobrinsky 300,000 rubles. The editor-in-chief of Kholod, Taisiya Bekbulatova, notes that Kobrinsky does not deny the existence of a sexual relationship with students, and the reason for the lawsuit was the description of episodes of violence against them.
In December 2021, Kobrinsky filed a defamation complaint against Republic journalist Rimma Polyak. Claims were caused by the text "Effect of Kobrinsky: old 'Yabloko' and new ethics", which told about the reaction of the party to the accusations against Kobrinsky. In February 2022, after negotiations between the parties, the publication made changes to the article. Kobrinsky announced the termination of the criminal prosecution of the journalist and the refusal to file a lawsuit against the publication. However, Rimma Polyak said that Kobrinsky's statement had already been transferred from the police to the Investigative Committee, where the issue of initiating a case against her was being decided.

Mossy River is a river in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. The river's source is east of Little Bear Lake and north-east of Narrow Hills Provincial Park in a hilly plateau called Cub Hills. The river travels through hills, boreal forest, and muskeg for about 100 kilometres en route to its mouth in the Saskatchewan River Delta. Highway 920 is the only road to access the mainstem of the river and there are no communities nor settlements along the course of the river.
Description
Mossy River begins at a small lake in the Cub Hills, just east of Little Bear Lake. Over 10,000 years ago at the end of the last ice age, the retreating glaciers shaped the landforms of the Cub Hills forming the valleys, lakes, and streams. The Mossy River flows east out of the hills through a glacier formed valley and into flatter land characterised by muskeg and boreal forest. The river meets Highway 920 as it flows out of the hills and is then met by Scarth River. From the Cub Hills, the river travels in a south-eastly direction, being met by several other tributaries, including McDougal Creek, South Mossy River, and Brougham Creek, on its way to one of North America's largest inland fresh water deltas, the Saskatchewan River Delta.
Brook trout
Brook trout were successfully introduced to Mossy River in 1979 and became naturalised. Brook trout were first introduced to the Cub Hills in 1934 with the stocking of McDougal Creek, a tributary of Mossy River, and Lost Echo Creek. Since then, the fish have been introduced to 25 rivers in the hills with five of those rivers now supporting populations of naturalised, self-sustaining feral brook trout. The other rivers include Nipekamew Creek and White Gull Creek. All seven of Saskatchewan's trout species can be found in the Cub Hills.

John Charles Eichinger (born February 18, 1972) is an American serial killer who was convicted of killing three women and one child from 1999 to 2005 in Pennsylvania, which he committed after two of the victims had rejected his romantic advances. He was handed three death sentences for the latter murders and one life sentence for the former, and is currently awaiting execution.
Early life
John Charles Eichinger was born on February 18, 1972, in Malvern, Pennsylvania, as one of four brothers. He attended the Upper Merion Area High School in King of Prussia, where he was part of a large group of friends who would play Dungeons & Dragons in their spare time. Through this activity, he became acquainted with Jennifer Still and Heather Greaves, developing a romantic interest in both women. After graduation, he found work as a clerk at a local Acme supermarket, where he worked alongside Greaves. In his spare time, he was noted for playing in local chess tournaments.
Murders
On July 6, 1999, Eichinger, donning a pair of rubber gloves and carrying a large knife under his jacket, went to Still's home in Bridgeport in order to confess his feelings towards her. To his dismay, she rejected his advances, stating that she would not leave her fiancé. Enraged by her rejection, Eichinger pulled out the knife and repeatedly stabbed her, ultimately cutting her throat before leaving the house. In the subsequent investigations, police questioned Still's boyfriend and friends, including Eichinger, who claimed that he had been in New Jersey at the time of the murders. In an attempt to ward the police off his trail, he claimed that two other Dungeons & Dragons players might have information the murder, with one of them being heavily involved in Wicca. As the investigators had no evidence to connect him with the murder at the time, they focusede on the players mentioned by Eichinger, until a DNA swab proved that they were innocent.
After the murder, Eichinger stored the bloodied knife, clothing and rubber gloves he had worn on the day of the murder in his room as a keepsake to remind him of the killing. For the next five years, when Halloween came about, he would take out the knife and don a mask of Ghostface from the horror franchise Scream, and would go out trick-or-treating with them. Around 2003, he moved to his parents' new home in Somers Point, New Jersey, where he transferred to work at a local Acme supermarket.
On March 25, 2005, Greaves ordered some purple flowers for her upcoming birthday and arranged Eichinger to deliver them at her home in King of Prussia. Bringing the knife with him, Eichinger went to the house and confessed his feelings for Greaves, emphasizing that he wanted her to leave her husband for him. After being rejected again, he pulled out the knife and started stabbing her, before finishing her off by slitting her throat. The act was noticed by Greaves' 21-year-old sister Lisa and 3-year-old daughter, Avery, who were in at the house at the time. Unwilling to leave any witnesses, Eichinger went to the bathroom and stabbed Lisa to death, before catching up to Avery in the hallway and killing her as well. He then started walking back to his car, where a neighbor of Greaves' observed him with bloodied clothes and a rag tied around his hand. The victims' bodies were discovered by Greaves' husband, George, when he returned home from work.
Arrest, trial and imprisonment
As the killings heavily resembled Still's murder from years prior, authorities started looking into whether the four victims had any connections. After learning that Still and Greaves had been mutual friends with each other and with Eichinger, Detective Richard Nilsen was dispatched to interrogate him at his workplace in Somers Point. Initially, Eichinger denied responsibility, claiming that the scratches on his arm were the result of a dog bite and a cut sustained while he was taking out the trash, and that he had been at a boardwalk in Ocean City when the killings took place. However, when he noticed that Nilsen was carrying a gun on him, Eichinger decided to confess to the four killings, bizarrely stating that he followed company policy to "never resist a man with a gun."
Not long after, Eichinger waived his right to an extradition hearing and was extradited to Pennsylvania, where he was charged with four counts of capital murder. He confessed to the four murders before the judge, arguing that he should be given a life sentence in light of mitigating evidence presented by his lawyers: these included claims that he suffered from schizoid personality disorder and that he was under extreme emotional duress when he committed the crimes, relating to the recent death of his father from Alzheimer's disease. These claims were contested by the prosecutors, who pointed that the defendant had no prior history of mental illness, had planned his crimes in advance and the murders of Lisa and Avery were done to get rid of witnesses.
In the end, Eichinger was found guilty on all counts and was given three death sentences for the murders of the Greaves family; he was given a life term for Still's murder. At the sentencing phase, the victims' family members exclaimed that they hoped they would live long enough to see Eichinger executed for the murders. Since his incarceration, he has attempted to appeal his sentence on multiple occasions, but each time, his appeals have been denied. In 2008, Eichinger's death warrant was signed by Governor Ed Rendell, but the sentence is yet to be carried out.
In the media and culture
Eichinger's crimes were covered on two separate crime documentary series, both aired on Investigation Discovery: on Homicide City as an episode titled Deadly Circle of Friends, and on In Ice Cold Blood as an episode titled Dungeons, Dragons and Death.

Papilionanthe uniflora is a species of epiphytic orchid native to India, Myanmar, Bhutan and Nepal.
Description
This species of epiphytic herb grows on branches and tree trunks between 2000 and 2100 m a.s.l. It was found on Daphniphyllum himalayense and Ilex fragilis. It is a drought resistant plant. Distichously arranged, terete, 6 to 17 cm long and 0.2 to 0.4 cm wide leaves are produced on slender stems with internodes of 1.5 to 3 cm in length. The leaf sheaths enclose the stem. The specific epithet uniflora reflects this species tendency to produce only one white, fragrant flower with twisted petals. This is however not a strict rule and sometimes more than one flower is produced. The spur is 1.7 cm long and is thus relatively large in relation to the sepals and petals. It may show a pink or violet suffusion at the tip. Flowering occurs from March to April or September to October.
Phytochemistry
Cytotoxic effects were examined and plant extracts were demonstrated to be significantly effective cell growth inhibitors of HeLa cells. Extracts of the plant contain a high flavonoid content (90 mg QE/g). The extracts contain alkaloids, flavonoids, steroids, terpenoids and tannins. Saponins were not present.
Conservation
This species is included in the CITES appendix II and thus its trade is regulated.

The Automobile Troops are troops in the Armed Forces of several former Soviet states, which transport personnel, deliver ammunition, fuel, food and other military materiel. They also evacuate wounded and sick personnel, and move weapons and military equipment.
Vehicle troops can transport troops that do not have their own vehicles. They consist of automobile (vehicle) units, and units, included in combined arms units and formations, as well as separate units and formations, sometimes constituting separate automobile units. They are called transport troops in some states.
Two of the most important such bodies are the Automotive Troops of the Russian Federation and the Belarusian Transport Troops.

The Taian HTF5980 is a large transporter erector launcher used exclusively to carry the DF-41 Intercontinental Ballistic Missile. It is the largest known TEL used by the People's Liberation Army Rocket Force and the most powerful in terms of carrying capacity.
Description
The Taian HTF5980 is a 16x16 TEL that specialises in carrying superheavy ICBMs like the aforementioned DF-41s or sometimes the DF-31AG. It is the first eight-axis self-propelled chassis made in China, equipped with a multi-axis steering system to meet the requirements of high manoeuvrability for a ground vehicle of such size.
Like most TELs made from Taian, it uses an integral welded structure frame, an oil-gas spring independent suspension and a multi-axle group steering and drives in order to achieve a high enough mobility to suit the PLARF.
One key difference of the HTF5980 in comparison to its smaller cousin, the HTF5680A1, is the introduction of a split-cab design. This was in order to accommodate the much larger missile canister of the DF-41 when at rest.
Variants
The HTF5980 itself comes in two varieties, the HTF5980A and HTF5980B, which are the launch vehicles and transport vehicles respectively.
