M68 (tank gun)
|
The M68 is an American 105 mm tank gun. It uses a British-designed L7 gun tube and cartridges with an
American-designed mount, breech assembly and recoil mechanism.
Technical characteristics
The M68 differs from the L7 in several aspects :
The M68 uses a concentric recoil spring instead of a separate buffer and recuperator hydraulic cylinders.
The M68 has a cylindrical breech with a vertical sliding breech block instead of a square-shaped breech with a horizontal sliding breech block.
Firing is electrical only.
The M68 barrel is secured to the breech by a tapered pin and interrupted breech threads which allow the barrel to be removed from the gun shield without having to dismantle the mantlet.
The M68 is fitted with an eccentric bore evacuator instead of a concentric model in order to provide more clearance over the rear deck.
Models
M68 : initial production variant, used on the original variant of the M60 tank and the M116 gun mount. Retrofitted to the M48A5.
M68E1 : variant used on the M60A1 and M60A3 tanks in mount M140. They were fitted with a fiberglass thermal shroud in 1973.
M68A1 : improved variant built in 1980 for use on the M1 and IPM1 versions of the M1 Abrams. The M68A1 features an aluminium thermal shroud and a pad for fixing the muzzle reference sensor.
M68A1E4 : a light weight, low-recoil version of the M68A1 designed for the M1128 Mobile Gun System (Stryker MGS). Also designated as M68A2, it features an Ares Incorporated long stroke, low recoil impulse mechanism and a muzzle brake (later removed). breech is mounted upside down to accommodate the automatic loader.
Foreign variants
KM68A1 : licence-produced variant of the US M68A1 gun for the South Korean Army. Used on the South Korean variant of the M48, the M48A5K and K1 tanks.
M68T : Turkish licence-built versions by MKEK under the designation of M68T to up-gun its 90 mm armed M48 fleet, took place in the 1980s.
M64 L71A : Israeli variant built by IMI for the Merkava Mk. I and Mk. 2 tanks.
Prototypes
T254E1 : US designation for the L7A1, it had the same horizontal sliding breech block as the L7 and used British X15/L52 barrels with a concentric bore evacuator on the barrel.
T254E2 : US variant of the T254, it had a vertical drop breech block with the X15E8 barrel and a concentric bore evacuator. Later standardized as M68. Used in M60 Patton prototype vehicles.
T254E3 : US variant designed in 1975, identical to thee T254E2/M68 but with chrome-plated bores. Only two built.
XM24 : the XM24 gun tube was extended by compared to the M68A1 and it could tolerate a higher chamber pressure. Designed to replace the 105mm gun M68A1 in the M1 and the IPM1, it was expected to have improved penetration performance, particularly with the upcoming XM900 APFSDS (later cancelled and superseeded by the M900A1). At that time, it was expected that the installation of the enhanced 105 mm gun would be less costly than retrofitting the M1 and IPM1 with the 120 mm gun M256. The program was initiated in March 1983, the Watervliet Arsenal manufactured 14 XM24 tubes and 17 breeches for cannon during the fiscal year 1984. The US Army completed the advanced development phase in February 1984 and initiated it for the M1 in March. Full-scale development was expected to begin in November 1984 for the M60A3 and in January 1985 for the Abrams but the program was abandoned.

Pat Carbine

Patricia Theresa Carbine (born January 31, 1931) is an American feminist and magazine editor. She was executive editor of Look, which was the highest position held by a woman at a general interest magazine, and the vice president and editor-in-chief of McCall's. She was one of the founders of Ms. magazine and served as one of the first publishers and the first editor-in-chief.
Early life
Carbine was born on January 31, 1931, in Villanova, Pennsylvania. Her parents are James T. Carbine and Margaret Carbine (née Dee). She attended Mater Misericordiae Academy between 1936 and 1948. She received her bachelor's of arts degree in English from Rosemont College in 1952. She was a trustee of the college between 1972 and 1996.
Career
Carbine joined the magazine Look in 1953 as an editorial researcher, eventually being promoted as assistant managing editor in 1959. She became the managing editor in 1966 and the executive editor in 1969, which was the highest position held by a woman at a general interest magazine, although the owner of the magazine refused to put a woman's name on the top of the masthead. She went on strike on August 26, 1970, for the Women's Strike for Equality. In 1970, she became the vice president and editor-in-chief of McCall's, where she tried to modernize the magazine with a new section called 'Right Now'.
Ms. magazine
In 1971, she was approached by Gloria Steinem who was looking to create a newsletter focusing on the women's movement. Along with Elizabeth Forsling Harris, Carbine convinced her that a magazine was the best approach as it was more likely to make money and to serve as a 'forum'. The trio attempted to source funding for the project and finally received an offer from Clay Felker, editor of New York magazine, who suggested publishing a preview of the new magazine – titled Ms. – in the year-end issue of New York and as a stand-alone January issue.
In January 1972, when the initial issue was selling out, Carbine left McCall's to join Ms. as a publisher. The decision was encouraged by a couple of incidents with the management of the magazine. Carbine chose Steinem as the McCall's Woman of the Year in 1972 but the management was concerned that she was too radical and considering re-printing the magazine covers to instead feature Pat Nixon, until Carbine threatened to publicly resign. She also encouraged reporting on issues which were concerning to advertisers. When she asked the management to break her contract in order to join Ms., they agreed.
Carbine was the editor-in-chief of the first independent issue of the magazine in July 1972. She was one of the original shareholders of the magazine, alongside Steinem, Harris and Warner Communications. She was a founder and director of the Ms. Foundation for Women, Inc. and the Ms. Foundation for Education and Communications, Inc. The other co-founders of the magazine were Letty Cottin Pogrebin, Nina Finkelstein, Mary Peacock, Margaret Sloan-Hunter and Suzanne Levine. She was responsible for training the female ad sales force for the magazine, although she and Steinem had to make their own calls to the ad agencies in the early days of the magazine. Her decision to hire women in this role was unusual for the time. She also focused on finding advertisers who were not usually associated with women's magazines, including auto manufacturers, financial services and alcoholic beverages.
She was a board member of the Magazine Publishers of America (MPA) between 1973 and 1988, the first woman to serve on the board. She was a member of the board of the Advertising Council, where she was the first female chair, and a member of the American Society of Magazine Editors. Carbine successfully pursuaded the MPA not to hold the annual conference in Florida, due to the state's importance in the campaign to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA). She was vocal in criticizng newspapers, including specifically The New York Times, for refusing to use Ms. as a designation.
In 1975, Carbine and Steinem were sued by Harris for $1.7 million for fraudulently misrepresenting the value of the magazine's shares and for forcing her to share her ownership rights, but the case was dismissed.
Legacy
Carbine's papers are held by Smith College.

Joystick suggested the game would suit "lovers of exotic adventure". Generation 4 noted the title seemlessly transitions between a "graphic, animated...adventure game" and a "jeep driving simulation phase". MegaOcio wrote it "can rub shoulders perfectly with other classics of the same class." MicroMag felt it "skilfully mixes scenery and action".
Amiga Games rated it 58%.

Convolvulus simulans
|
Convolvulus simulans is a species of annual plant in the morning glory family known as the small-flowered morning-glory and small-flowered bindweed. It is an inconspicuous vining plant that is characterized by tiny pale pink or pale blue bell-shaped flowers. It is typically restricted to clay and serpentine substrates in annual grassland, coastal sage scrub and chaparral habitats. This species is native to Arizona, California, and Baja California. Some taxonomies place this species under Convolvulus equitans.
Description
This species is an annual herb with a vining or spreading habit. It does not twine around other shrubs, but is more decumbent and sometimes loops its stems around other plants. The stems are less than in diameter and may spread across the ground for up to . The leaves are arranged alternately and taper towards a weakly defined petiole that attaches them to the stem. The leaves are shaped narrowly oblanceolate to almost linear, and have smooth margins. The herbage is covered with small, soft hairs.
The flowers are solitary, with the inflorescences consisting of 1-flowered cymes that emerge from the axils of the upper leaves of the plant. The peduncle is short, about long, and may become sharply nodding when in fruit. Lining the peduncle below the calyx are small bracts, measuring long, and shaped linear or narrowly oblanceolate.
On the flower, the calyx lobes measure long, and shaped oblong-ovate. The bell-shaped corolla is about long, divided into 5 lobes (essentially petals). The lobes are white or pale-pinkish, with blue or lavender stripes. Flowering is from April to June The fruit is a round 4-seeded capsule.
Distribution and habitat
This plant is native to the United States and Mexico, and is found within the boundaries of Arizona, California, and Baja California. In Arizona, this species is found in Gila County, in the Tonto Basin. In California, this species is found in the southern foothills of the Sierra Nevada, the San Francisco Bay Area, the South Coast Ranges, the Channel Islands, and is most densely distributed in southern California. In Baja California, this species is distributed in the northwestern part of the state, south to El Rosario.
This species is primarily associated with heavy, cracking, and friable clay substrates, but also more rarely on serpentine, and is often found in vernal pools. Habitats it is usually associated with include annual grasslands, coastal sage scrub, and chaparral, at elevations of about .

Uebermarginal
|
Anatoly Maratovich Artamonov (; born 19 August 1992), better known as Uebermarginal (), is a Russian-born American Twitch and YouTube streamer, whose primary topics are philosophy, linguistics, reactions to videos submitted by his viewers, and interviews with various niche Internet personalities of Russia and the former Soviet Union.
Early life
Anatoly was born in the Zelenograd administrative okrug of Moscow, Russia, on 19 August 1992, in the mixed ethnic background family of Russian-English translators. After attending a language school for 5 grades, Artamonov and his family relocated to the United States, settling in Key West, Florida for the next several years. After moving to California, Anatoly volunteered in the almshouse and worked as a cookie salesman, while studying at the University of California, Berkeley, the University of California, Los Angeles, and then at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey, earning various degrees in the fields of philosophy, linguistics, Russian literature, and US education. It was around that time that he first tried his luck on YouTube, making several gaming and politics-related videos around 2012 and 2013.
Career
He explains his nickname choice by stating it means "super radical", adding that the "-marginal" part also refers to him being a student, while dialectical materialism describes students as "declassed elements". Uebermarginal first gained some recognition appearing as a radio host on the MadFM internet radio, founded by and named after a famous Russian Internet personality and one of the first Russophone game reviewers , where he mostly discussed philosophy with the audience, often collaborating with its other guests. Some of his most frequent guests, such as another philosophy-themed streamer Dmitry "Jeszy Sarmat" Kirilchenko, anonymous provocative actionist known as Sakramar, a Kyiv-based streamer Vlad "Punisher" and a Russian DJ and streamer Artyom "Artifix" Shcheglov had become coloquially known as "Marginal's Conference", reaccuring on his streams even after he left MadFM. A Ukrainian man playing an anti-semitic Jewish caricature "Rabbi Zilberman" had also been a frequently mentioned character of their broadcasts, while one of Anatoly's recurring guests, a Ukrainian political commentator Viktor "Vityunya" Aristov knew him personally, participating in some of fake rabbi's videos, allegedly playing a "Slavic goy" peed on by Zilberman in one of their videos.
Since 2016, Anatoly starts solo streaming on YouTube, moving to Twitch in 2017, where most of his audience and popularity came from. Since that, most of his content are politics- and philosophy-related reaction videos, but also debates and interviews with various Internet personalities, such as a Russian imperialist and nationalist (1986–2021), philosopher and founder of Eurasianism movement Alexander Dugin, a libertarian activist Mikhail Svetov, Napoleonic historian , and journalist Oleg Kashin. Starting in 2021, Anatoly is also a frequent guest of a Canadian Russian-language radio station "Radio VERA".
"The Whopper Wars"
On 8 January 2019, Anatoly had a stream with a Russian left-wing tech blogger and streamer Stas Vasilyev, known as "Ai, Kak Prosto!" ("Oh, How Easy!" in Russian), where the latter tried to reestablish himself in public eyes after Anatoly's derogatory and mocking reaction to one of Stas's political videos. The final stream gathered a record 12K online views, starting a long-spanning conflict between the two. Around that time, Uebermarginal also met Russian communist writer and blogger Dmitry "Goblin" Puchkov's former associate Sergei Ivanov, nicknamed "Producer Ivanov", with whom he then had several broadcasts until it was announced by them that a fan convention in Moscow is due to take place in March 2020, which coincided with Maddyson's 32nd birthday of 8 March. Later that year, he briefly came to Russia for the first time in 10 years, appearing as a guest on Prosvirnin's channel czar.tv, expressing positive remarks of Moscow's infrostructure and environment change and meeting his then-love interest Irina.
The controversial event gathered a lot of criticism even before it started, with Prosvirnin criticizing Ivanov's involvment with the project and publicly calling the coming meeting a "freak show". The entertaining part of the event included an impersonator of Stas Vasiliev, an impersonator of "Rabbi Zilberman" walking on all fours, and champagne bottles branded "Viski iz moyey pipiski" (Whiskey out of my dick). Several of Anatoly's invited colleagues, who had previously quarreled with Ivanov, complained that they've been mistreated by organizers, and that the Whoppers they've ordered came in late and already cooled, leaving the event early. One of them, Vladislav Zhmilevsky, who flew to Moscow from Petrozavodsk, Karelia, later appeared at Prosvirnin's stream, complaining about the overall level of organization during the event. Anatoly's response was emotional, he accused both of betrayal, ceasing all collaborations with the two since that. The conflict intensified rapidly with Ivanov harassing Prosvirnin's girlfirend during their streams, sending sarcastic donations, as a result Prosvirnin began threatning Ivanov with his ties to ultranationalist militias and them knowing the location of Ivanov's house in Tver Oblast, allegedly sending him a picture of the house's roof in the scope of a sniper rifle.
The overall financial flop and negative feedback buried the idea of Uebermarginal's fan event tour across Russia's biggest cities, which the Moscow convention was intended to open, along with the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in the country. While Anatoly returned to Oregon, his producer Ivanov, still being at working relations with Anatoly after signing a one-year contract and, from his own words, suffering from depression at the time, continued trying his luck at getting more recognition through teasing and provoking popular streamers, sending them huge donations, which he called "danaan donations". Around late 2020, Ivanov starts digging up Stas Vasiliev's driving fines, accusing him of traffic violation, which Stas denied at first, but then stated the fines were issued after his wife made some minor violations driving his car. In December, Ivanov sends a group of masked individuals to Stas's studio in Lobnya, Moscow Oblast, to film the surroundings and scatter dog food to feed the local rats; Ivanov later visited the Lobnya studio himself. The conflict escalated once again, with Stas doxing Ivanov's wife name and workplace; also breaking his ties with Yury Khovansky after the latter urged the two to reconcile; the anonymous callings coming about house minings to one of Stas's colleagues' parents; another anonymous calls coming on behalf of Ivanov of explosives set in several Leningrad Oblast schools; firings of the LDPR staff connected to Khovansky, who was a voluntary assistant of the party's deputy Vasily Vlasov at the time; and threats of imprisonment coming from both sides.
It culminated in January 2021, after Ivanov, while apparently suffering from exacerbation of mental health problems, builded a theory about a neo-Nazi criminal group, consisting of Stas, Prosvirnin, and several others, sponsored by a Russian banker Oleg Tinkov, conspiring to kill or incarcerate him, and cutted his ties with former friends, including Uebermarginal and Khovansky. The ambulance, called by his wife, was taking Ivanov to a mental hospital in Moscow, while he recorded audio messages, threatning to call the Chechen diaspora for offending Islam, as he identifies himself as Muslim. After staying in hospital for some time and taking medication, Ivanov's condition stabilized, with him moving to his mother's flat and retracting what he previously said. Nontheless, the conflict sparked an outrage on the Internet, particularly the anonymous imageboard Dvach, which users started digging up information on conflict's participants, which resulted indirectly in Khovansky's arrest and 7-month imprisonment, after an anonymous denunciation coming of his 2012 video where he singed an offensive song about the children killed during the 2002 Moscow theater hostage crisis, saying that it was performed online in 2018.
Political and religious views
Uebermarginal initially identified himself as a Stalinist in his first YouTube videos and MadFM broadcasts, translating Stalin's works for university, publicly admiring and mimicing a Russian Soviet-sympathizing blogger and writer Dmitry "Goblin" Puchkov. During the 2016 US presidential election, he supported neither Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton. He began leaning more right-wing after meeting his fellow colleague streamer Jeszy Sarmat around 2013–2014. Nowadays he identifies as more conservative, fearsomely defending the second amendment and moving to a Republican county in Oregon in 2019. During the 2020 election, he supported Tulsi Gabbard, switching to Trump after she lost the primaries. Anatoly also identifies as pro-life and pagan.

Mahmud Mirza Qajar
|
Mahmud Mirza (1799-between 1854 and 1858) was an Iranian prince of the Qajar dynasty, the fifteenth son of Qajar shah Fath-Ali Shah (1797-1834). He was a patron of the arts and an accomplished calligrapher, poet and anthologist himself.
Biography
Mahmud Mirza was the fifteenth son of Qajar shah Fath-Ali Shah (1797-1834), born by his Jewish wife from Mazandaran known as Maryam Khanom, said to have been a great beauty. He was Maryam Khanom's eldest son, and would be known as her most accomplished son. His other full siblings which survived to adulthood included Zia ol-Saltaneh, Soltan Begom (died 1826), Homayun Mirza (died 1851), Ahmad-Ali Mirza (born 1804), and Jahanshah Mirza (died 1835).
Mahmud Mirza grew up in the household of Mirza Shafi Mazandarani (died 1819), then prime minister of Iran and his mentor. He was given the governorship of Nahavand in 1813, followed by that of Lorestan in 1825. He soon established himself as a patron of the arts, inviting many poets and men of letters to join him in his provincial residence at Nahavand, including Mohammad Taqi "Lesan ol-Molk" Sepehr. Mahmud Mirza also ordered the construction of majestic buildings in Nahavand, amongst them the Ru'in-dez fortress, the Kakh-e Homayun palace, a madraseh for his son Siyavash Mirza, as well as a garden known as the Bagh-e Shah; however only a minimal amount of extant traces of these buildings have survived to this day.
Mahmud Mirza also put efforts in promoting scholarly works. He himself wrote more than twenty works ranging in a series of topics from historical to literary to religion, including two essential anthologies (tazkerehs) on the poetry of his father, that of his own sons, and contemporary male Qajar poets. These two works are known as the Safinat ol-Mahmud and the Bayan ol-Mahmud. The Safinat ol-Mahmud was completed in 1824-25 at the order of his father, who also gave the book its title.
He was also a respected calligrapher and poet, and put efforts in training a series of wives of the shah and their daughters to write poetry, and also taught them to write calligraphy in the Shekasteh and Nashq forms. Mahmud Mirza also authored the Sonbolestan and Noql-e Majles ("The confection of the assembly"); although these works are less known , they consist of important information on contemporaneous Qajar women and the poetry they wrote. In the introduction of the Noql-e Majles, Mahmud Mirza writes that he authored the work on the request of his sister Zia ol-Saltaneh.
Mahmud Mirza's chief wife (galin) was the daughter of Mohammad Khan Qajar Iravani, and was selected for him by his father Fath-Ali Shah. His other wives were a daughter of Ali-Morad Khan Zand (1781-185) known as Gowhar-Taj Khanum; a relative of Nader Shah (1736-1747) and a wife who had once been married to the late Mirza Shafi Mazandarani. Mahmud Mirza had thirty-four children, equally divided between seventeen boys and seventeen girls. He was against the accession of his nephew Mohammad Shah Qajar (1834-1848); as a result he was incarcarated along with other rebel princes in Ardabil and later in Tabriz. He apparently died at some point inbetween 1854 and 1858 during the reign of his nephew's son Naser al-Din Shah Qajar, and appears to have been buried in Nahavand—the site of his first governorship.

L'Aigle d'Or
|
L'Aigle d'Or is a 1984 French action video game by Loriciels.
Development
The game had an initial investment of approximately 100,000 FF and took three months of work.
Release
Games & Strategy suggested that in the Loriciels catalog, the game was "only (and wrongly)" cited as a role-playing game. Microphone anticipated the game's release on MO5 to be successful due to the recent success of its Oric release. The game peaked at 30,000 copies sold.
Critical reception
Tilt wrote the game is: "the precursor of a new range of adventure software, which will be more and more realistic, more and more “real”. An undeniable success." Micro 7 gave it a rating of 5 out of 5 stars.
Legacy
The game has been described as reminiscent of the Thomson MO5 video game Thesaurus and the Oric (acquired by Atmos) title Le secret du tombeau. Tilt noted that publishers were using "drastic measures to extract the quintessence of the Thomson TO7/70", citing L'Aigle d'Or, Thesarus, and Mandragore in the adventure and role-playing genres.
It had a sequel in 1992 called L'Aigle d'or, le retour.

In May 2018, Jamat-e-Islami pulled out its support for KPK Government just before the General Elections. They blamed on Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf that Jamat-e-Islami was asked for support in Senate Chairman elections on the orders form higher ups. This statement was strongly condemned by the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf.

He also demanded to close FATA Secretariat and also warned to start a Nation wise protest if FATA is not merged. The aim of Merging FATA with Khyber Pakhtunkhwa was also to ensure the function of Law enforcement authorities like Judiciary and Police, Bureaucracy and other Provincial and Federal institutions like Health, Local Government, Education etc. may also function in the region like else where in Pakistan.
Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam F strongly condemned this merger but many political parties including people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa welcomed this merger and also protested to Merge FATA with Khyber Pakhtunkhwa soon.

Integration course
|
The integration course (Integrationskurs in German)is the citzenship education class that is provided by the German government to help foreigners adjust to life in Germany, it is required for a person to pass the integration course to gain German citizenship. The integration course is intended to prepare noncitizens to become legally and socially accepted as citizens by learning about the basics of the German language and German culture and society, such as the German legal system, history, and culture, rights, and obligations in Germany, etc.
According to the legal definition in Section 43, Paragraph 2 of the Residence Act, the integration course supports the integration efforts of foreigners through a basic offer for integration with the aim of successfully teaching them the language, the legal system, the culture, and history in Germany. Foreigners are to become so familiar with the living conditions in the federal territory that they can act independently in all matters of daily life without the help or mediation of third parties.
The integration courses were introduced in 2005 as part of the Immigration Act. The implementation is determined by the ordinance on the implementation of integration courses for foreigners and late resettlers (Integration Course Ordinance - IntV).
Participation
The legislator differentiates between the right (Section 44 of the Residence Act) and the obligation (Section 44a of the Residence Act) to participate.
Eligible participants
The prerequisite for participation is permanent residence in Germany and a residence permit.
So far, asylum seekers and tolerated persons have not had access to an integration course according to Sections 43 et seq. of the Residence Act. This was changed by Article 3 No. 6 of the Asylum Procedure Acceleration Act of October 20, 2015, in Article 44 Paragraph 4 Clause 2 Residence Act new version in favor of persons with a residence permit (Article 5 Clause 2 IntV) in order to enable early language acquisition. However, your registration is limited to three months after receipt of admission and depends on the capacity of free places on the course. Asylum seekers who come from a safe country of origin within the meaning of Section 29a of the Asylum Act (Section 44 (4) sentence 3 of the Residence Act) are also excluded from participation.
EU citizens have no legal right to participate in an integration course, but can be admitted to an integration course by the BAMF if places are available (Section 44 (3) sentence 1 of the Residence Act).
In 2012, 94,020 people started an integration course, in 2014 the number was 142,439. Over 180,000 new participants were expected for 2015, and around 306,000 new participants were forecast for 2016, taking into account the opening of the integration courses for asylum seekers and those with a toleration status.
Obligation to participate
The immigration authorities can oblige people to take part in an integration course if they do not have sufficient German language skills and if they receive unemployment benefits or are to be specially integrated for another reason. For example, because they have to take care of an underage child who lives in Germany. Proper participation is checked by the course provider (§ 8 Para. 3 IntV) and can be enforced by administrative means if necessary (§ 44a Para. 3 Residence Act).
Legal consequences
If you can prove that you have successfully completed the integration course, the minimum period for naturalization is reduced from eight to seven years (Section 10 (3) StAG). Successful completion also serves as proof of sufficient knowledge of the German language before a settlement permit is issued (Section 9 (2) sentence 1 no. 7, sentence 2 of the Residence Act) or an EU long-term residence permit (Section 9a (2) sentence 1 no. 3, sentence 2 of the Residence Act) and will be taken into account when extending a residence permit (Section 8 (3) of the Residence Act).
If participation in the integration course is provided for in an integration agreement under Book Two of the Social Code, a violation of the obligation to attend can also be sanctioned as a breach of duty with a reduction in benefits under Section 31 Paragraph 1 No. 1 SGB II (so-called refusal to integrate).
The Integration Course
An integration course consists of two parts: a language course and an orientation course. The lessons usually take place all day in groups with participants with different mother tongues. Successful participation in the integration course is certified with the "Integration Course Certificate". Some educational institutions also offer so-called arrival courses.
Language course
Duration and structure
The language course usually comprises 600 hours of instruction, divided into a basic and an advanced language course. The aim is sufficient language skills to ensure the integration of migrants in terms of social participation and equal opportunities.
"Sufficient knowledge of the German language [...] is possessed by those who can find their way around independently in everyday life in their environment and, appropriate to their age and level of education, can hold a conversation and express themselves in writing (Level B1 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages)", § 3 paragraph 2 IntV.
If necessary, special courses can be offered that are aimed at different target groups.
The language course comprises up to 900 hours of instruction
Integration course for young adults under the age of 27 who are no longer of school age (youth integration course)
Integration course for those entitled to participate who cannot attend a general integration course for family or cultural reasons (parents or women's integration course)
Integration course with literacy
Remedial course for special language pedagogical needs
In the intensive course, the language course comprises only 400 hours of instruction.
In order to determine the individual, possibly also special, needs, the participants take a test to classify their language level (placement test) before the start of the language course. The language course is completed with the German test for immigrants (DTZ).
Content
The basic curriculum for integration courses/German as a second language defines the learning objectives and content of the language course. It represents the framework for the conception of various course models and their design. The examination objectives of the DTZ are also based on the framework curriculum.
Development of the framework curriculum
In connection with the entry into force of the Immigration Act on January 1, 2005 in Germany, the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF) commissioned the Goethe-Institut in the autumn of 2006 to develop a framework curriculum for the integration courses. This curricular basis for integration courses has existed since it was published in 2007.
To create the framework curriculum, the Goethe-Institut project group surveyed course participants and teachers as well as existing studies and works from other institutions (Institute for Migration Research and Intercultural Studies, German Adult Education Association) and the Goethe-Institut itself (“Curriculum for designing a six-month language course for Aussiedler”, 1991). In addition, the Goethe-Institut commissioned scientists from the Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich to "research and document the language needs of participants in integration courses by surveying institutions, course providers and course participants (InDaZ)".
Scientific findings on the acquisition of German as a second language, knowledge of the different backgrounds (e.g. length of stay, educational socialization, and more), the importance of migration experience, and living conditions of those taking part in integration courses in Germany were also incorporated into the formulation of the framework curriculum.
With regard to the aspired ability of migrants to act, fundamental topics and specific areas in which they want or have to act linguistically should be determined.
Learning objectives
In the framework curriculum, a basic distinction is made between two types of learning objectives: communication according to fields of action and communication across fields of action.
The formulation is made using optional descriptions (example: “Can use very simple means to talk about himself and his/her situation in the country of origin, for example about the family, the job learned.”) Individual or multiple learning objectives are described under so-called linguistic actions such as information give, ask, report and the like and are grouped by the corresponding skill (writing, reading, listening, speaking, conversation) and level (A1 to B1) according to the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR).
Communication in fields of action
A distinction is made between 12 fields of action:
Agencies and public authorities
Work
Job search
Initial and continuing education
Banks and insurance companies
Care and education of children
Shopping
Health
Media usage
Mobility (use of public transport, etc.)
Instruction
Reside
The fields of action are mainly divided into four sub-areas:
to get a general idea
communicate with official bodies/institutions
communicate with superiors/employees of offices and authorities
with peers, e.g. B. colleagues, fellow travelers, or neighbors communicate
The learning objectives are specified by naming the priority activity (skill), the corresponding level, and the marking of the target group or groups (A, B, and C) for which the learning objective is relevant. There are three types of target groups:
Group A has good learning requirements and specific educational and career aspirations. On average, they are younger than the other groups and have lived in Germany for a shorter period of time.
Group B focuses on family and children/school. You have a lower level of education or qualification than A.
Group C has a lower level of education or qualifications than group A. On average, they are the oldest group with the longest stay in Germany. The group focuses on the world of work.
If necessary, it is also stated that specific regional knowledge (example: "Knows that regulations in offices are binding, e.g. opening times.") is important for the implementation of the learning objective.
Cross-field of action communication
Communication across all fields of action includes the basic communication needs of people in general:
Realization of feelings, attitudes, and opinions
Dealing with disagreements and conflicts
Creation of social contacts
And in the special needs of migrants:
Dealing with your own language learning
Dealing with the migration situation
In addition to the language act, the priority activity (skill), and the level, the description also includes the intention of the speaker (example: “Would like to exchange information about the reasons and goals of migration”).
These communication areas are further subdivided. For example, the area "Dealing with the migration situation" consists of the following sub-areas:
Report on migration experiences
Dealing with the intercultural encounter
present their own competencies
Dealing with knowledge divergence and competence gaps
Dealing with the individual language
Extra-linguistic learning objectives
In order to be able to participate in social life, the authors of the framework curriculum required an interaction of linguistic, intercultural and strategic skills. Therefore, before naming the learning objectives on a linguistic level, aspects of intercultural competence (example: "Is sensitized to culturally different communication practices in offices and authorities and can align one's own actions accordingly.") and regional knowledge in the "Focus on Interculturality" and in the "Focus Country Studies”.
Strategic competences show up in dealing with knowledge deficits, competence gaps and/or the use of learning techniques. Some of these are placed in the overarching communication areas of “dealing with the migration situation” (example: “dealing with knowledge divergence and gaps in skills”) and “dealing with one’s own language learning” (example: “developing and expanding reading skills”).
Practical implementation
For the most effective use possible, the target group (primarily test developers, textbook authors and course planners) must observe the following:
From the maximum possible learning goals mentioned, the addressees must make a selection of specific learning goals and content geared to the respective target group
Exams must not require competencies beyond the descriptions
Lexical and morpho-syntactic learning content can be derived from the learning objectives, but should not primarily determine the language courses
The progression in the language course should be based on action chains within the fields of action.
Teachers in integration courses use the framework curriculum to reflect on the teaching material used and to understand specific course plans. In particular, the wording of the extra-linguistic learning goals (intercultural and strategic competence, knowledge of the country) allows these goals to be checked in the course. However, the framework curriculum should not be understood as a syllabus.
Intercultural aspects in the framework curriculum
(Inter)cultural aspects are dealt with in the communication areas "Dealing with the migration situation" (especially in the sub-item "Dealing with intercultural encounters") and "Realization of feelings, attitudes and opinions", as well as in the "Focus on interculturality" or through the learning objective "Intercultural Competence” in the curriculum framework. The authors of the framework curriculum for standard integration courses name the relevance of cultural and intercultural aspects for the learners. However, these considerations are not based on a defined concept of culture.
In the needs analysis (InDaZ), under the heading "Aspects of interculturality", answers from respondents are listed that make it clear that intercultural aspects are important in the course and especially in the final exam. A relatively narrow concept of culture seems to be adopted. The chapter "Language and culture of origin" mainly contains data on heterogeneity with regard to the countries of origin of the course participants. With regard to the DTZ, it is not described or discussed to what extent intercultural competence can be operationalized.
Qualifications for teaching in the language course
A university degree in German as a foreign or second language enables direct admission to teaching (§ 15 Paragraph 1 IntV).
Further, alternative possibilities of a qualification (§15 paragraph 2 IntV) are specified by the BAMF. Since January 1, 2020, the additional qualification for teachers has included five compulsory modules and two compulsory elective modules. Other people can qualify through a course to acquire a relevant recognized DaF/DaZ (university) certificate or through a DaF/DaZ qualification program from certain other educational institutions.
Orientation Course
The 100-hour orientation course follows the respective language course. Knowledge of German history, society and culture is imparted to the course participants in order to make it easier for them to deal with their fellow citizens and authorities on a day-to-day basis. The orientation course concludes with the “Living in Germany” test.
The orientation course originally comprised only 45 hours of instruction. It was increased to 60 hours in 2012 and to 100 hours in 2016 to enable an in-depth examination of the topics "Politics in a democracy", "History and responsibility" and "People and society".
The curriculum for the orientation course is being developed by the BAMF.
Evaluation
Since January 1, 2006, the curricula, teaching and learning materials and the content of the tests have been evaluated by an evaluation committee for quality control and further development of the concept of the integration courses (§ 21 IntV).
In 2011, the Federal Office presented a first detailed evaluation of the integration courses as a research report 11 and attempted to identify the integration courses as "effective and sustainable".
In a detailed analysis of this evaluation, Günter Riecke decisively contradicted this assessment in his study paper; the work comes to the conclusion: The relative lack of success of the courses, given a pass rate of only 53% in 2012, is due to the lack of financial resources of the sponsors. This evaluation is an "eye-wash evaluation" that was written without the involvement of relevantly qualified authors. The study itself contained numerous indications that the learning effect was rather weak up to 2012.
Statistics from the Federal Office for Migration show a success rate of around 57 percent for the highest possible certificate in German (level of competence B1) for the first half of 2012. According to the Goethe-Institut, this demonstrates basic knowledge of colloquial German and is a minimum requirement for employment in the Federal Republic Germany can be seen. Another 35 percent of the test participants achieved the language level A2 below. This rate was also achieved in 2016 to 2018, where 66.9 or 52.0 percent of the participants achieved level B1 and 25.5 or 32.9 percent achieved level A2.
Financing
The institution conducting an integration course (course provider) receives a certain reimbursement of costs from the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF) (§ 20 Para. 6 IntV). The participants had to contribute 50% of the applicable cost reimbursement rate to the course costs (§ 9 IntV), from July 1, 2016 to December 31, 2020 it was €1.95 per lesson. For registrations from January 1, 2021, the contribution is €2.20. Upon request, participants in need of help will be exempted from the cost contribution. Successful participants can be refunded 50% of their cost contribution. For certain groups, for example refugees, some federal states offer free courses.
Course providers such as language schools and other educational institutions are only economically viable for group lessons when 20 participants are enrolled. The maximum number of participants is 25. The fee for teachers in integration courses is at least 35 euros for freelancers.
Participation and costs are regulated differently for certain groups by the Residence Act. A distinction is made between foreigners with a residence permit before or after 2005, German nationals, EU citizens and late resettlers.
Between 2005 and 2013, the federal government spent over 1.4 billion euros on the system of integration courses. In the federal budget for 2017, 610.077 million euros were earmarked for the implementation of integration courses according to IntV.
Expansion Plans
The coalition agreement for the 20th legislative period advocates integration courses for all people coming to Germany right from the start.

Ratnagiri Fort, Andhra Pradesh
|
Ratnagiri Fort is a hill fort located in the Ratnagiri village near Rolla, in Sri Sathya Sai district of Andhra Pradesh, India. Located near the border of Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka in the Rayalaseema region, it is also known as Seema Golconda ("Golconda at the border"). The Government of India has designated it as a Monument of National Importance.
History
The fort and the village are named after the hill known as Ratnagiri ("jewel hill"), and not much is known about the early history of the area. Historians identify Ratnagiri with a village of the same name, mentioned in an inscription of the Chalukya king Vikramaditya I (r. c. 655-680 CE). According to this inscription, the village was located in the Nalavadi vishaya (district); this district may have been named after the Nalas, although this cannot be said with certainty. The area gained importance during the Pandya and the Chola rule. According to folklore, after the fall of the Vijayanagara Empire, poet Allasani Peddana migrated to Ratnagiri with 500 Brahmin families.
In the 17th century, the Bijapur Sultanate gained direct control of the nearby town of Sira, and moved the former chiefs of Sira to Ratnagiri. Manuscripts name several local chiefs of Ratnagiri, but do not provide much information about them. These chiefs included Rangappa Nayudu, Rayappa Razu, Pedda Rayanna Razu (ruled in 1657), and Lakshmana Nayudu (ruled in 1727). Lakshmana Nayudu is described as being responsible for collection of chauth, a form of tax imposed by the Marathas, which suggests that he was a Maratha vassal.
Sometime after 1727, the Kingdom of Mysore gained control of the fort, but in 1746, the family of the former local chiefs ousted the Mysore troops. Later, Hyder Ali, the de facto ruler of Mysore, seized the fort, retaining the local chief as its commander. In 1792, when Hyder Ali's son Tipu Sultan was busy fighting the British East India Company during the Siege of Seringapatam, the local chief rebelled and overthrew the Mysore suzerainty. After signing the Treaty of Seringapatam with the British, Tipu Sultan besieged the Ratnagiri Fort, devastating it. He captured the fort after a 6-month long siege, and forcibly converted many soldiers of the local garrison to Islam.
Strucutres
The fort spans over two hills, known as Ratnagiri and Venkatagiri. It has several structures, including the ruined Pattrappa temple. There is a large stepwell (kalyani), which was built as a swimming pool for a queen. The former bath area of the queen also has a Krishna shrine, where the queen performed puja (worship) after the bath. Another stepwell named Pala Bavi is used by the devotees visiting a temple dedicated to the goddess Kolhapuramma. An old Jain temple is located nearby.

Queen of Bithynia
|
The Queen of Bithynia () was a mock ancient epithet of Julius Caesar referencing his alleged homosexual relationship with King Nicomedes IV of Bithynia. The epithet and related rumour have been repeatedly invoked by several Caesar's contemporaries, such as Cicero, Licinius Calvus, Marcus Calpurnius Bibulus and Gaius Memmius. Caesar himself denied such allegation under oath.
Background
Around 80 BC, Caesar as a young man, joined the staff of Marcus Minucius Thermus in Asia for military training. Thermus has been engaged in bringing Mytilene under Roman control, and dispatched Caesar to solicit a fleet from allied Bithynian king Nicomedes IV. According to Suetonius, Caesar dawdled at the Bithynian court, so that a rumour emerged of sexual relationship with Nicomedes. Caesar successfully completed his task of summoning an allied fleet. The rumour was spread further when a few days after his task, Caesar returned to Bithynia.
In Roman rhetoric, with modesty (pudicitia) at the forefront, allegations of passive homosexual activity, along with other sexual misconduct, were commonly used against young men, or the youth period of a man's life. Another example was the trial of Marcus Caelius, where one of the prosecutors, Sempronius Atratinus, called him a "pretty-boy Jason" (pulchellus Iason).
Contemporary uses
Marcus Calpurnius Bibulus used the epithet in the edicts he issued during his joint consulship with Caesar. Octavian at a public assembly addressed Pompey as "king" and Caesar as "queen" in their presence. At a debate in the Senate, when Caesar recalled some benefits Rome had received from Nicomedes, Cicero interrupted him with "we all know what he gave you and what you gave him in return". Consul Gaius Scribonius Curio called Caesar "every man's wife and every woman's husband". Caesar's own soldiers upon victorious return from the Gallic Wars sang in parade that "Caesar conquered Gaul, but Nicomedes conquered Caesar".
Modern scholarship
Modern biographers of Caesar, such as Matthias Gelzer, Christian Meier or Antony Kamm acknowledge the episode, mainly supporting Suetonius' notion that Caesar’s stay at the Nicomedes' court directly caused allegations of a sexual relationship. Adrian Goldsworthy characterized it as "a very good piece of gossip, playing on well-established Roman stereotypes".

TrustToken

TrustToken is a financial services company that provides a platform for the creation of asset-backed (cryptocurrency)tokens.
Their main projects are the stablecoins such as TrueUSD (TUSD) and unsecured lending protocol TrueFi.
Their stablecoin project known as "TrueCurrencies are the world's first independently-verified, fully collateralized stablecoins, trading on top exchanges like Binance, Huobi, and OKEx."
Around January 2019 TrustToken came up with a new method for exchanges to manage their millions of ERC-20 addresses in a cheaper way that would save on Gas fees. A smart contract that funnels the clients deposited coins from a smart contract deposit address directly to the exchanges central wallet, as opposed to having separate unique wallet addresses for every customer. The smart-contract is open-source and the method has since been used by many crypto exchanges for ERC-20 token deposits.
TrueUSD
TrueUSD (TUSD) is the first stablecoin launched by TrustToken in April 2018. Originally launched on the TRON network is now also an Ethereum token pegged to the US Dollar through full collateralization to US dollars held in escrow accounts. TUSD is minted in an equivalent amount to US dollars deposited into the escrow account. TrueUSD earns revenue from the interest on the USD that it holds in these accounts, this allows it to operate without charging any trading fees.TrueUSD has since been gaining ground as a popular stablecoin, particularly in South Korea where it is the most popular stablecoin.
TUSD, along with Tether and USD Coin are backed by fiduciary currencies and are criticized by their inherent high counterparty risk, the reserves are held by third parties need to be frequently audited to maintain transparency and prove that there is actually an equivalent amount of money within these reserves as the total circulating supply of the coin. This is contrary to the main idea behind cryptocurrencies which are meant to function without any single point of failure but be decentralised.
Around March 2021 TrueUSD was sold to a third party.

The Krays' Mad Axeman
|
The Krays' Mad Axeman (also known as: The London Mob) is a 2019 film directed by William Kerley and starring Diarmaid Murtagh, Morgan Watkins and Elen Rhys. It is based on the play "Jump to Cow Heaven" by Gill Adams, itself based on the true story of Frank Mitchell, a convict and associate of the Kray Twins, who facilitated Mitchell's escape from prison in 1966.
Plot
In December 1966, Frank Mitchell escapes from Dartmoor prison with help from the Kray twins. A nationwide manhunt ensues and Mitchell finds himself holed up in a flat in East London with only his minder John for company. Unable to leave due to the ongoing manhunt, the menacing and short-tempered Frank grows increasingly frustrated and John struggles to control him.
To placate Mitchell, the Krays send over a hostess named Lisa, and she and Frank sleep together repeatedly over the next few days. Frank falls in love with her. Lisa is told she will not be able to leave either, as she has seen Frank and could identify him to the police. To calm matters, Reggie Kray also visits. However, it is clear that Frank is becoming a liability to the Krays. Frank, John and Lisa share a final Christmas Eve dinner together.
On Christmas day, Frank is led into the back of a van, thinking he will be heading to the countryside to meet up with the Krays. Instead, several men shoot him dead.

Pixel Bath
|
Pixel Bath is the debut album by Mexican-American experimental pop musician Jean Dawson, released October 23, 2020, by the artist's independent label P+.
Style and reception
AllMusic's Fred Thomas writes that on the album, Dawson "set out to create the 'soundtrack for a black coming-of-age film that never ends', and accomplishes just that with this collection of nostalgic dream pop melodies caught in perpetual conflicted collision with high-energy rap." The album includes opener "Devilish" which "moves abruptly from bellowed, melodramatic vocals to intense rap flows about monsters, boogie men, and surreal critiques of toxic masculinity" made even more unique by the placement of "his melodically sung lyrics ... over a backdrop of peppy guitars and bass that sounds like Clap Your Hands Say Yeah at their catchiest" and "album standout" "TripleDouble" "with a Pixies bass line decorated with trap ad-libs and a big rock chorus." Dawson's "wild swings of imagination and daring are so unexpected they can be jarring, but it's this willingness to go outside of the known that puts Pixel Bath in a class by itself."
The Arts Fuses Alex Szeptycki calls the album "a kaleidoscopic melange that vividly reflects the artist's personality and inspirations" and "one of the most compelling releases I've heard this year", with Dawson's "magnetic personality ... infused through the album's excitingly varied instrumentals and bold vocal performances." Per Beats Per Minutes Kyle Kohner, Dawson's "refreshing and exciting" "undefinable alternative hip hop sound" brings "a bit of everything – bedroom pop, pop-punk, industrial rap, and even glitch-pop" to the album, making for a "boisterous marvel to behold, touched through and through with deep emotion." NMEs Jenessa Williams says that "by refusing to limit his musical focus Dawson buys himself a future of authentic experimentation, thrilling the listener with unexpected twists and turns that do, miraculously, offer up something for everyone" and that while "if you really want to find fault in Pixel Bath, you might acknowledge that even the gnarliest of rollercoasters become that little bit less exciting once you've seen their blueprints", "if you're ready to hear what true unbounded creativity sounds like, Jean Dawson can take you on one hell of a ride."

The Only Way Is Essex (series 29)
|
The twenty-ninth series of the British reality television programme The Only Way Is Essex will begin airing on 21 August 2022. Filming for the series commenced in June 2022 and was set to begin months prior, but due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on television, it was postponed. For the first time in the show's history, the series was filmed entirely before the series had began airing, as opposed to filming days prior to transmission. The series will consist of 11 episodes, with two episodes filmed in the Dominican Republic. Filming ended on 18 August 2022 with an episode filmed in Hythe, Kent, that focused on a party for the cast members. Lime Pictures, the show's production company, recruited extras to appear in the background of the episode.
Elma Pazar, Hannah Voyan, Junaid Ahmed and Mia Sully were cast on The Only Way Is Essex for the series. Jordan Brook also returned during the series, having previously appeared in 2017. Nine of the cast members who had appeared in the Dominican Republic episodes were thrown off their flight back to the UK and met by police officers, since they had refused to wear masks and were vaping on board. An insider for the series said that the involved cast members were set to receive "short shrift from ITV bosses". The series was the first since 2011 not to feature mainstay Chloe Sims, who quit prior to filming began. Her sisters, Demi and Frankie, quit alongside her.

1950 East Tennessee State Buccaneers football team
|
The 1950 East Tennessee State Buccaneers football team was an American football team that represented East Tennessee State College (ETSC)—now known as East Tennessee State University as a member of the Smoky Mountain Conference and the Volunteer State Athletic Conference (VSAC) during the 1950 college football season. Led by fourth-year head coach Loyd Roberts, the Buccaneers compiled an overall a record of 3–5–1, with marks of 1–2–1 against Smoky Mountain opponents and 0–1–1 in VSAC play. This was the program's first losing record under Roberts and the first losing season since 1941. The team's co-captains were Mark Sutherland and Bob "Snake" Evans. The 1950 squad beat local rival . They also tied in the final meeting between the two rivals as Milligan dropped football after the season. One of the few bright spots of the year was the transfer of Hal Morrison from Tennessee, as he became a record-setting target over the next three seasons. This was the first Buccaneer football team to receive athletic scholarships after the players had gone on strike the previous year.

The 1994 North Korean nuclear crisis was a crisis on the Korean Peninsula, mainly revolving around North Korea's nuclear program. Largely caused by North Korea's announcement that it would withdraw from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) in 1993 the tensions could've led to a war between North Korea and the US had not been for an agreement reached between Former President Jimmy Carter and then leader Kim Il-Sung. It led to North Korea and the United States signing the Agreed Framework in October 1994, effectively ending the crisis.
Background
North Korea's involvement in the NPT went back as December 1985, when it signed the treaty, around the same it built it's first reactor. At the end of the Cold War in 1991, the United States removed all of its Nuclear weapons that were based abroad including the last of its 100 or so Tactical Nuclear weapons from South Korea. Although initially criticizing the US, North Korea's response to this withdrawal changed when on November 26, North Korea stated it would allow US inspectors into its nuclear facilities if all of nuclear weapons were removed. Although IAEA inspectors were allowed to inspect some of these facilities, many were still closed off as North Korea claimed that they had military secrets, leading to suspicion that they were for a Nuclear weapons program. 1992 also saw the US and South Korea cancel the Team Spirit '92 joint exercises, although Team Spirit '93 would be held in February 1993.
Main Tensions
1993
After months of disagreements over the 1991 inspection agreements, Pyongyang announced on 12 March 1993 that they would plan to pull out from the NPT Treaty. In response to this, Russia carried out minor economic sanctions against North Korea that it threatened as early as 1991. North Korea however reversed their decision after meeting with US diplomats in New York. Pyongyang agreed to thus follow IAEA safeguards as well as allowing inspections at seven declared nuclear sites in the country. Relations between North Kora and the IAEA soon fail in September of that year and US and the IAEA warn North Korea. After pressuring for dialogue to resume between it and Pyongyang, in December, the US demands that the seven nuclear sites in North Korea be opened to inspectors.
1994
After promising inspections the previous year, beginning on 3 March 1994, IAEA inspectors were allowed for two weeks to inspect most of North Korea's nuclear facilities. The IAEA is however prevented from inspecting their main radiochemical facility, used for fuel reprocessing. On the 17th of March, the New York Times reports that the US had cancelled talks with the North and that Team Spirit '94 would be conducted. This was followed by the announcement of a shipment of Patriot SAM systems to South Korea on the 23rd.
During June 1994, the US considered using Operation Plan 5027 (OPLAN 5027), the war plan that was to be used in case of a North Korean attack. This was due to the fear that North Korea would view the recent buildup of US troops and as well as evacuations as a sign of an attack and thus invade South Korea. The Pentagon however wanted to use the 'Middle Option' of moving around 10,000 more troops, several F-117As and an Carrier Battlegroup to the region. There were also plans to take out the Yongbyon Nuclear facility with the F-117s as well as Cruise Missiles, in order to prevent North Korea creating nuclear devices. This plan was however called off when then Former President Carter met with Kim Il-Sung and the two agreed to the basis of what would be the Agreed Framework.
However, on 8 July 1994, Kim Il-Sung died from a heart attack he suffered the previous day. Due to this as well as the recent instability in the Peninsula, the USS Kitty Hawk, CVW-15 and their Battlegroup were diverted from their deployment to the Persian Gulf and instead were ordered to stay in the Western Pacific and the Korean Peninsula. The USS Independence (which was based in Yokosuka, Japan) also conducted operations in the Korean Peninsula. The US and South Korea however also offered to cancel Team Spirit '94 as an incentive for North Korea to open dialogue with them. Team Spirit '93 would in fact be the last Team Spirit exercise held.
Aftermath
On 21 October 1994, the Agreed Framework was signed in Geneva, effectively freezing North Korea's nuclear program. Despite this, almost a decade later, due to tensions between the US and North Korea over the latter's missile transfers to Iran, North Korea would resume it's nuclear weapons program.

Osmia parietina
|
Osmia parietina, also known as the Western mason bee or wall mason bee, is a species of solitary bee within the family Megachilidae.
Description
Osmia parietina is mostly black in colour, however possesses ginger pubescence on top of the abdomen. They are a medium sized bee, which can be found in flight between the months of May and July.
Distribution and habitat
Osmia parietina can be found across Europe, however is mostly restricted to upland, hilly and mountainous areas. It has been recorded throughout much of Northern Eurasia including the United Kingdom, Spain, Greece and Russia.
Osmia parietina is associated with areas of unimproved grassland, where their primary nectar source bird's foot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus) grows. They also have a preference for upland herb rich pastures and woodland glades. Females build their nests inside the crevices of drystone walls, rock faces and standing deadwood.
Ecology
Although L. corniculatus is the primary nectar source for Osmia parietina, it has been recorded visiting flowers of other plant species such as: Ajuga reptans, Hippocrepis comosa, Rubus fruticosus, Sedum reflexum, Trifolium pratense and Veronica chamaedrys.
The Western mason bee is also one of three host species for the parasitic Northern Osmia ruby-tailed wasp (Chrysura hirsuta).
Threats
The overgrazing of meadows where bird's-foot trefoil grow means that the plant cannot successfully flower, this harms the Osmia parietina population as bird's-foot trefoil is their primary source of nectar. Poor management of woodland habitats can also cause their population to decline. Sunny glades and woodland clearings are essential habitats for wildflowers, if these clearings are not maintained the wildflowers are eventually shaded out by shrubs and trees, which accelerates the decline of O. parietina. The loss of sunny rock habitats for the bees to nest in due to shrub encroachment also threatens the species. Human activity such as the manual removal of drystone walls and standing deadwood also removes essential sites for nests to be built.

St John's Place (formerly known as Kirkside) is an ancient street in the city of Perth, Scotland, located a short distance southeast of the city centre. It runs for about between King Edward Street to the west and St John Street to the east.
The street was established in at least the 12th century, albeit prior to being given its current name, which is derived from St John's Kirk. The church, a Category A listed structure, was completed around 1448, replacing another church dating to 1126.
Part of St John's Place was demolished in 1987 to make way for the construction of Perth City Hall in King Edward Street.

Quercus crispipilis

Quercus crispipilis is a species of oak native to Chiapas state in southern Mexico and to Guatemala.
Description
Quercus crispipilis is a medium-sized tree which grows up to 27 meters tall, and trunk of 30 to 60 cm in diameter at maturity.
Habitat and range
Quercus crispipilis is generally found in cloud forests, and also in humid oak forests and oak–pine forests, between from 750 to 2,700 meters elevation. It is found in closed-canopy forests, and regenerates well in forest clearings and abandoned fields.
It is native to the Chiapas Highlands of central Chiapas, the Sierra Madre de Chiapas of Chiapas and Guatemala, and the Guatemalan Highlands of central Guatemala.
Conservation and threats
People of the highland forests of Chiapas and Guatemala have engaged in shifting cultivation for centuries. Q. crispipilis regenerates faster in cleared areas than in mature forests, and naturally resettles cleared areas once they have been abandoned. In more recent times, its highland habitat has been converted to intensive and continued use as pasture and agriculture, leading to habitat loss and fragmentation.
The species is also threatened by climate change. It is estimated that the tree may lose 13.1% to 48.4% of its suitable habitat by 2050, depending on the climate change scenario.

Crash of the Titans (Nintendo DS video game)
|
Crash of the Titans is a 2007 platform video game developed by Amaze Entertainment and published by Vivendi Games for the Nintendo DS. It is an installment in the Crash Bandicoot series and an alternate version of the console-based title of the same name that makes extensive use of the Nintendo DS's touchscreen and microphone. The game centers on the titular character Crash Bandicoot, who must use combat moves to subdue and take control of large creatures called "Titans" that are being created by Crash's arch-nemesis Doctor Neo Cortex. The game received mixed reviews from critics, who praised the gameplay variety and visuals, but criticized the controls.
Gameplay
The Nintendo DS version of Crash of the Titans is a platform game in which the player controls Crash Bandicoot, who must stop his arch-nemesis Doctor Neo Cortex from taking over the Wumpa Islands by transforming its population into loyal mutants. Crash is capable of moving in eight directions and is equipped with a series of offensive maneuvers for attacking enemies. He can also use his ally, the floating mask Aku Aku, as a shield against enemy attacks or as a blunt weapon. Larger enemies, known as "Titans", have a stamina meter, which can be depleted if Crash attacks them. This leaves the Titan stunned and susceptible to being "jacked" by Crash; using the touchscreen, the player can flick Aku Aku's icon toward the Titan and take control of it, allowing Crash to use its powers. Each Titan is capable of a special attack that can be activated by using the touchscreen or microphone. While on a jacked Titan, Crash can jack onto another Titan that has been stunned. Throughout the game, small orbs of magic known as "Mojo" can be collected by defeating enemies, chaining jacks, and destroying crates. Collecting Mojo allows Crash to upgrade his abilities by purchasing them at a kiosk located in each level. Bonus Mojo can be obtained if the Game Boy Advance version of Crash of the Titans is inserted prior to turning on the Nintendo DS.
The game takes place on four islands, each with two levels and a boss. When a boss is defeated, a new island is unlocked. Each island has its own Pachinko board where players can win "on-demand items", which can be used to restore health, provide temporary invincibility, and set off explosions among other things. Additional content can also be won at these Pachinko boards, such as gallery art, cheats, and a jackpot of Mojo. In any given level, the player can obtain a Gem by collecting a specified amount of Mojo, destroying all the crates in the level, and finding hidden bronze, silver, and gold Tiki Masks. At certain points in the game, the player takes control of Cortex's niece Nina, who is tasked with using her raygun to transform the island's creatures into mutated henchmen. Nina's raygun can be recharged by turning a crank on the touchscreen.
Plot
Doctor Neo Cortex harnesses the ancient power of Mojo and uses it to transform the peaceful creatures of Wumpa Island into powerful Titans. To obtain Mojo, Cortex captures a slew of Tiki Masks that act as its source, including Crash's ally Aku Aku. Crash confronts Cortex and manages to free Aku Aku as Cortex escapes. While Crash and Aku Aku venture through the archipelago and collect Mojo, Cortex tasks his henchmen Doctor N. Gin and Tiny Tiger with construction and stockpiling fuel for a colossal and purportedly unignorable "Cortexbot", and his niece Nina with continuing to mutate the local wildlife. Another minion, Dingodile, tries and fails to impede Crash. In the midst of her task, Nina — dissatisfied with her position and perceiving the plan's inadequacy — begins plotting to take over her uncle's operation, and she recruits N. Gin and Tiny following their defeat at Crash's hands. Nina eventually confronts Cortex, and it is revealed that the Cortexbot's only purpose is to dance.
Crash and Nina pursue the escaping Cortex into the Cortexbot, where Cortex feigns surrender. If the player had not gathered all the game's collectibles, Crash deflects a shot from Nina's mutating raygun back at her, transforming her into an infant. Cortex attempts to eliminate Crash himself, but he is defeated and his Cortexbot is destroyed. Cortex and a restored Nina escape to their mansion, where Cortex compliments Nina's treachery. If the player obtained 100% completion, Nina successfully shoots Crash with her raygun, transforming him into an impotent small-bodied version of himself. Nina then defeats Cortex herself, after which he orders N. Gin and Tiny to repair the Cortexbot, intending to destroy Wumpa Island with it.
Development and release
The Nintendo DS version of Crash of the Titans was developed by Amaze Entertainment, who had previously developed the Nintendo DS versions of installments in the Spyro series, and published by Vivendi Games under its Sierra Entertainment label. Development was led by Eli Ford and Marc Hall, with Amaze's Mike Platteter and Radical Entertainment's Joe Selinske serving as producers. The development team sought to have the game reflect the flavor and story of the console version while playing to the platform's strengths by incorporating extensive use of the touchscreen and microphone into its gameplay. Kevin Chung was the lead artist, heading an art and animation team consisting of Platteter, Caleb Parrish, Jerry Vorhies, Nelson Brown, Bryan Fu, Sketch Ditty, and Nick Hamilton. The game was designed by Shawn Truesdell, Darrin Michelson, and Kami Neumiller; Truesdell and Neumiller also programmed the game alongside Platteter and Michael Humes. The music was composed by Nathaniel Papadakis, while the sound effects were designed by Matt Piersall and Jimi Barker. The voice acting for the Nintendo DS version, cast and directed by Eric Weiss, was recorded a few months after that of the console version, and features a smaller pool of actors, consisting of Jess Harnell, Lex Lang, Greg Eagles, Debi Derryberry, and Nolan North. The characters Crunch and Uka Uka, who appear in the console version, are absent from the Nintendo DS version. The Nintendo DS version of Crash of the Titans was revealed alongside the console version in April 2007. and it was released in North America and Australia on October 25, 2007.
Reception
Crash of the Titans received "mixed or average" reviews according to aggregator Metacritic. Craig Harris of IGN considered the game to be "a fantastic apology for Crash Boom Bang!" and praised Crash's new design as well as the game's visuals, level design and gameplay variety, but felt that the combat and the incorporation of some touch screen elements were clunky. Zachary Miller of Nintendo World Report commended the fast-paced and interesting gameplay and colorful and distinct graphics, but felt that the environments and enemy types blended together, and while he was fairly impressed with the voice-acting, he was critical of the storyline and inclusion of a laugh track. Frank Provo of GameSpot commended the gameplay variety granted by the jacking mechanic and slaloming segments, and was impressed by the graphics, which provided a "slick and upbeat" presentation, but he lamented the game's short length. Louis Bedigian of GameZone considered the basic gameplay and graphics to be comparable to the original PlayStation games, but said that the frequent amount of enemies caused the gameplay to become repetitive, deemed the touchscreen controls unwieldy and unnecessary, and lambasted the voice-acting as childish.

Maewa Kaihau
|
Erima Maewa Kaihau (; 1879 – 27 February 1941), was a New Zealand composer, pianist and music teacher, sometimes known as Louisa Maewa Molesworth. She is best-known for her contributions to the song "Now Is the Hour", and composed several other popular songs in both Māori and English.
Life and career
Kaihau was born Louisa Flavell in Whangaroa to a French father and a Māori mother of Ngā Puhi descent. On her mother's side she was a descendent of Hōne Heke. In 1893 the family moved to Waiuku. In the late 1890s she entered a customary marriage with Henare Kaihau, the Ngāti Te Ata leader and politician; their marriage was formalised in 1903. They had six daughters and two sons. After his death in 1920, she married Charles Molesworth. During their marriage she taught music and played the piano.
She is best-known for the song "Haere Ra" or "Po Atarau", known in English as "Now Is the Hour". The song was adapted from an existing piano tune titled "Swiss Cradle Song" published under the name of Clement Scott (thought to be Albert Bokhare Saunders), and became popular in New Zealand through its use during World War I as a Māori farewell song titled "Po Atarau". Kaihau refined the song in 1920, when her daughter was one of several young women performing for the Prince of Wales on a state visit. Kaihau rearranged the song, wrote additional lyrics in English and Māori for the women to perform, and renamed it "Now Is the Hour" or "Haere Ra". The song was published under the title "Haere Ra" and credited Kaihau for both lyrics and tune; following a dispute from the owner of "Swiss Cradle Song", later editions only attributed the words to Kaihau.
In 1935 Kaihau sold her rights in "Now Is the Hour" to a New Zealand music company for £10. In the late 1940s the song became popular overseas, being performed by Gracie Fields, Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby, among others. Time magazine in 1948 described the song's origins without naming Kaihau:
Kaihau is also known for her compositions "Akoako, o te Rangi", "E Moe te Ra", and "Me Pehea Ra", which were published in Māori and English in 1918. These have been performed by many musicians including Fanny Howie. They were some of the first Māori songs to be performed in classical concerts. In 1926 two of these songs were featured on a special New Zealand programme on BBC Radio in the United Kingdom. In 1927 she wrote the lyrics for a song "The Huia" composed to welcome the Duke of York and his wife to New Zealand. In 1928 The New Zealand Herald said that her music "spoke something of that elusive spirit which is the unique heritage of the Maori". In 1930 she composed a farewell song for Lady Alice Fergusson, the wife of Sir Charles Fergusson, which was described by the Auckland Star as being of a "haunting, sincere style so characteristic of Maori music". In the 1930s she was the music teacher for Ramai Hayward.
Kaihau died on 27 February 1941 at Auckland Hospital. She was survived by her husband, two sons and two daughters.
