Chandala
|
Chandala (Skt. चाण्डाल) is the lowest class in Ancient India. According to the ancient code law of Manusmriti, it is the class formed from the union of a brahmin woman (the highest class within varna) and a shudra man (the lowest classes) in Northern India.
The Chinese Buddhist pilgrim Faxian, in the records of his journey to India in the early 5th century, mentions the Chandala as the only ones who eat onion and garlic and live separately from the others. They must make themselves known when they enter towns or marketplaces so that contact with them can be avoided. The Chandalas are the only ones who hunt and sell meat, marking their status as untouchables. Chandalas in ancient times having lost the right to any of the four varnas - Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas and Shudras - were expelled from cities and sought refuge in the forests. After they became "masons", until finally expelled, they left the country, about 400 AD. 10.000 - 12.000 Indian musicians, was sent by the King Shankalat of India to Sassanid King Bahram V. Their descendants are the Roma people.

Living Colour
|
Living Colour is an American rock band from New York City. It was made in 1984. Their music is a fusion of heavy metal, funk, jazz, hip hop and alternative rock. The band's current members are guitarist Vernon Reid, lead singer Corey Glover, drummer Will Calhoun and bassist Doug Wimbish.
Living Colour has made six studio albums. In 1988, the band became popular when they released their first album, "Vivid". A song from the album, "Cult of Personality", won a Grammy Award in 1990. They won another Grammy Award for their second album, "Time's Up and were nominated for a Grammy for “Leave It Alone” from their third album, Stain." The band broke up in 1995, but came back together in 2000. Since then, they have released three albums. The band is working on making new music for another album.
History.
Early years of the band (1984–1986).
Guitarist Vernon Reid made Living Colour in New York in 1984. Because he was born in England, he used the word 'colour' instead of 'color'. Reid was well known in New York's jazz music community because he played music with Ronald Shannon Jackson. From 1984 to 1986, Living Colour had many different members. These members were musicians such as Jerome Harris, Geri Allen and Pheeroan akLaff.
The band had many different singers. Sometimes, Reid would sing as well. During this time, the band made music that sounded very different than its studio albums. The band made a song named "Funny Vibe". This song would be put on "Vivid" in 1988.
The band gets popular (1986–1991).
In 1986, the band had four members: singer Corey Glover, guitarist Vernon Reid, bassist Muzz Skillings, and drummer Will Calhoun. These members stayed in the band. The band got good at playing at concerts. They played many times at CBGB, a club in New York City. Mick Jagger, the singer for the Rolling Stones, noticed the band. After he watched the band play at CBGB, he helped the band make demos of their music. He also helped the band join Epic Records, a record label. The band made their first album with Epic.
"Vivid" was released on May 3, 1988. It started selling many copies later that year. This was because MTV started showing the music video for "Cult of Personality", a song from the album. It reached number 6 on the "Billboard" 200, an American music chart. In 1989, the band played on "Saturday Night Live". "Cult of Personality" later won a Grammy Award.
Living Colour started going on concert tours with other bands, such as Guns N' Roses and the Rolling Stones. In 1990, the band released "Time's Up", their second album. It had music of many different genres, such as jazz, punk rock, hip hop, and funk. It won a Grammy Award. In 1991, Living Colour played at Lollapalooza.
Breakup and reunion (1992–present).
In 1992, Skillings left the band. He was replaced by Doug Wimbish. The band made "Stain", their third album. In 1995, the band disbanded. This was because they did not want to make the same music on their fourth album. Four of the songs they made while making their fourth album were put on "Pride". After the band broke up, the members started making music alone.
On December 21, 2000, the band got back together to play at CBGB. After the band played at the club, they released "Collideøscope". They played on many concert tours in the 2000s, and released "The Chair in the Doorway" in 2009. It went onto the "Billboard" 200 music chart. It was the band's first album to do this since "Stain".

Trams in Luxembourg
|
Trams in Luxembourg operated between 1875 and 1964 as well as from 2017 onwards. Initially, various tram routes operated across the Luxembourg City, which operated between the late 19th and early 20th century. The tram lines all closed following the rise in automobile traffic in the city. In December 2017, the first section of the second generation of trams in Luxembourg opened with a piece of track running between Luxexpo and Route Breck Pafendall. Since then, the tram line has been expanded in several stages. The full route runs from Luxembourg Airport in Senningerberg to the Stade de Luxembourg.

Tropical Storm Nalgae
|
Tropical Storm Nalgae, also known in the Philippines as Severe Tropical Storm Paeng, was a severe tropical cyclone that hit the northernmost island of the Philippines.
Nalgae was a very large and deadly storm that impacted the Philippines, Hong Kong, and Macau. It was the 22nd named storm of the 2022 Pacific Typhoon Season.
History.
On October 26th, the JTWC noticed an area of low pressure in an area where it could develop into a Tropical Cyclone. Later the same day, PAGASA named the system Paeng in the Philippines, with the JTWC naming it Nalgae the next day on October 27th. The following morning on October 28th the JTWC upgraded Nalgae's classification into a Severe Tropical Storm. On October 29th in the Philippines, Nalgae made landfall in Southern Luzon, and traversed the island in about a day while maintaining its strength. Nalgae exited the island early next morning and entered the South China Sea. It briefly weakened into a tropical depression, before restrengthening over the following few days into a storm the same intensity as a Category 1 according to the JTWC. While it restrengthened, Nalgae turned north and began to approach southern China. It made its final landfall near Hong Kong after weakening due to unfavorable conditions.
Impacts.
Tropical Storm Nalgae, although not very strong, still impacted the Philippines significantly. It caused heavy rains, which created landslides in the hilly areas. The storm caused the deaths of 164 people and 34 are still missing. Nalgae also is reported to have caused 225 million dollars in USD of damages.

Prince Charles stream tree frog
|
The Prince Charles stream tree frog ("Hyloscirtus princecharlesi") is a frog. It lives in Ecuador. Scientists have seen it 2794 meters above sea level. They saw it in exactly one place, in a cloud forest.
This frog is about 68.1-70.5 mm long from nose to rear end. This frog is black with orange spots. The iris of the eye is gray in color.
The tadpoles are brown on color with small whitish marks. The iris of the eye is blue with some green-lavender color and white marks. The belly is red-brown on color. It is darker brown toward the tail. There are whitish spots. The tail is brown near the body and lighter near the end. Later, the tadpole changes color to gray.
This frog is in danger because human beings change the places where it lives. Human beings cut down trees to get wood to build with and make a place for animals to eat grass. Chemicals that kill pests may also hurt this frog.
The scientists named this frog after then-Prince of Wales, Charles Windsor. They named it after him because he worked to protect habitats in tropical places.

Old South Arabian
|
Old South Arabian (or Ṣayhadic or Yemenite) is a group of four closely related extinct languages. They were spoken in the far southern part of the Arabian Peninsula. They were written in the Ancient South Arabian script.
There were several Old South Arabian languages (e.g. Awsānian), of which very little evidence has survived, however. A pair of possible surviving Sayhadic languages is attested in the Razihi language and Faifi language spoken in far north-west of Yemen. Although these varieties of speech have both Arabic and Sayhadic features. It is hard to classify them as either Arabic dialects with a Sayhadic substratum, or Sayhadic languages that have been restructured under pressure of Arabic.

Amalek
|
Amalek was a nation in the Torah and Old Testament whose people called the Amalekites were enemies of the Israelites.
Genesis.
In the Book of Genesis, Chapter 36, Verse 10, Esau married a woman named Ada. Ada gave birth to a son named Eliphaz. Then in Chapter 36, Verse 12, Eliphaz had a concubine named Timna. Timna gave birth to a son named Amalek.
Exodus.
In the Book of Exodus Chapter 17, Amalek’s descendants called the Amalekites attacked the Israelites after the Israelites left Egypt. So Moses sent Joshua to fight the Amalekites. As long as Moses held his hands in the air, the Israelites were winning but Moses’s hands got tired so he got his brother Aaron to hold one up while Hur held the other up. And Joshua beat the Amalekites.
Then in the Book of Exodus Chapter 17 Verse 14, the Lord told Moses “write this for a memorial in the book and recount it in the hearing of Joshua, that I will utterly blot out the name of Amalek from under heaven”.
Numbers.
In the Book of Numbers, King Balak of Moab hired Balaam to curse the Israelites but Balaam ended up blessing the Israelites instead. And when Balaam had a vision of the future of the Israelites and their victory over their enemies, he said “ Amalek was the first of the nations but his end shall come to destruction” (Numbers 24:20).
Deuteronomy.
In the Book of Deuteronomy, Chapter 25, the Lord tells the Israelites to “remember what Amalek did to you on the way as you were coming out of Egypt” that the Amalekites attacked the Israelites from behind and killed the tired and weak. And because of it, the Lord tells the Israelites to “blot out the remembrance of Amalek from beneath heaven. You shall not forget.”
First Samuel.
In the first Book of Samuel, Chapter 15, the Lord told Samuel to tell Saul to kill all Amalekites and destroy all of their property and kill all their animals because it was something that the Lord told the Israelites to do back in the time of Moses. But when Saul attacked Amalek, he captured King Agag instead of killing him and Saul and his warriors kept the best animals for themselves but “everything despised and worthless that they utterly destroyed” (1 Samuel 15:9). So the Lord sent Samuel to King Saul to tell him “now the Lord sent you on a mission and said “go and utterly destroy the sinners, the Amalekites, and fight against them until they are exterminated. Why then did you not obey the voice of the Lord?”. (1 Samuel 15:18-19). When Saul said that he killed the Amalekites except for their king and was actually going to sacrifice their animals to the Lord, Samuel told him
“Has the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as in obeying the voice of the Lord. Behold to obey is better than sacrifice and to heed than the fat of rams. For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the Lord, He has also rejected you from being king.”
Then Samuel told Saul to bring the Amalekite King Agag to him and Saul did. And Saul told Agag “As your sword has made women childless so shall your mother be childless among women” and cut Agag to pieces. (1 Samuel 15:33)
Later on in the first of the Books of Samuel, David fights the Amalekites.
Second Samuel.
In the second book of Samuel, a man told David that he is the son of an Amalekite and that he happened to be on Mount Gilboa after the battle. The man said that Saul asked him who he was and he told him “an Amalekite”. The Amalekite said that Saul asked him to kill him so that the Philistines couldn’t torture him and he killed Saul. David said the man was a murderer because he killed the King of Israel so David cut his head off.
Chronicles.
In the Books of Chronicles, there is a family tree which says that Esau became the father of Eliphaz and Eliphaz became the father of Amalek.

Numbers.

Samuel.
In the Books of Samuel, Saul chooses not to kill King Agag of the Amalekites and takes him prisoner instead so the Lord sends Samuel to Saul to tell him that he will no longer be king of Israel because he is being punished for not killing Agag. Saul then kills Agag by cutting him to pieces at Gilgal.
Haman.
