Tiger parenting
|
Tiger parenting is a form of strict authoritarian parenting, whereby parents are highly invested in ensuring their children's success. Specifically, tiger parents push their children to attain high levels of academic achievement or success in high-status extracurricular activities such as music or sports.
The term "tiger mother" ("tiger mom") was coined by Yale Law School professor Amy Chua in her 2011 memoir Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother.
Tiger parenting is common in many Asian countries, such as Malaysia. It can be refered to as violent parenting, where a child is being subject to harsh physical punishment, which is considered to be called child abuse outside Asia.
In extreme cases, harming of parents may occur like Sef Gonzales and Jennifer Pan, but in some cases, when dealing with autistic children, tiger parenting may be bolstered by the likes of Kiwi Farms and Something Awful.

Blazing Dragons
|
Blazing Dragons is an animated television series produced by Burbank animation studio Nickelodeon Animation Studios and co-produced by Canadian animation studio Nelvana Limited and French animation studio Ellipse Animation. It was produced with the participation of Teletoon and M6, and in association with YTV. The series' protagonists are anthropomorphic dragons who are beset by evil humans, reversing a common story convention. The series parodies that of the King Arthur tales as well as the periods of the Middle Ages.
From 1996 to 1998, "Blazing Dragons" was produced by Nelvana in Canada, Ellipse Programme in France and Nickelodeon Animation Studio in United States. In the series, King Allfire and his Knights of the Square Table fight against the evil Count Geoffrey and his inept minions. It ran for two seasons consisting of 26 episodes in total.
The cartoon episodes that ran in the United States, namely Toon Disney (except for Teletoon, YTV and the Canadian version of Nickelodeon), were censored. Parts of episodes considered too risqué, such as the implied homosexuality of an effeminate character named Sir Blaze, and minor profanity, were cut for the American release, as such matters were deemed taboo to American children's programming at the time.
Although the voice actors are of Canadian and American nationality in real life, they voiced some of the characters with British accents (mainly the dragons were given that aforementioned accent), while some characters, such as Count Geoffrey, had Canadian accents, and Merle the Wizard has an American accent.
Legacy.
The series has gained a loyal fan following and several fan-written continuations of the series have been published online. Since July 2016, a new project called #BDRevolution or #BlazingDragonsRevolution appeared, consisting of making the fanbase grow through fanwork and converting new fans, bringing back old fans, convincing people who worked on the franchise (game and show) to support it, to convince Gavin Scott or Terry Jones to give the franchise a new chance, through any forms such as a new broadcasting, DVDs, a released by Nickelodeon Movies and Paramount Pictures, a game based on the movie, or comic books, and so on. The project is slowly growing and was co-created by a fan and former story editor of season 2 Erika Strobel.
Currently the entire series is available for purchase (for streaming only) at Amazon. No DVD set of the complete series is known to be produced as of June 2019, however an Australian DVD release with four episodes was released in 2005 by Magna Pacific entitled "Excaliburn" and a Canadian DVD release with twenty-six episodes was released in 2007 by Kaboom! Entertainment as seen on YTV entitled "Blazing Dragons: The Complete First and Second Seasons".

|
The Seyrani Monument is a sculpture of Turkish folk poet Seyrani (1800–1866) in Develi, a town in Kayseri Province of Turkey. Seyrani is from Develi. The mayor of Develi asked the sculptor Gürdal Duyar to make it. The sculpture was finished in 1976. Then the monument became a symbol of Develi.
In Turkish the monument is called: . A translation of this is Ashik Seyrani monument. The monument is a sculpture of Âşık Seyrani (1800–1866), a Turkish folk poet. In the sculpture he is holding a Bağlama, which is a stringed instrument. The sculpture is high. The sculpture weighs .
History.
When Haşim Nezihi was the principal of the middle school he received a letter from students asking for a sculpture of Seyrani to be made and put in the town. In the letter it also said that a sum of money was collected to make the sculpture. The organisation: "Develi Seyranî Public Library and Monument Building Development Association" was created in the 1970s. The organisation had a goal make a monument of Seyrani in the middle of Develi. The organisation was symbolic, they did not even start to make the monument. No one did anything to make the monument until 1976. On February 14 of 1976, the leaders of Develi talked with the sculptor Gürdal Duyar and they made some plans together. The Mayor of develi at that time, whos name is, Mehmet Özdemir, officially asked Duyar to make the sculpture. The sculpture was finished on 4 April 1976 and it was placed in public on 30 April 1976 in a park in front of the Develi "Çarşı Mosque." The name of the park was the "Cumhuriyet Square" of Develi. The money it cost to make the sculpture was 55,000 Lira.
In 1983 a base was added to the sculpture. On the base there is text. This written text includes the name of Seyrani, the birth and death date of Seyrani, and some words from the poems of Seyrani.
Years later the mosque was renovated and the sculpture was moved to the old market square of Develi. It would go on to become a symbol of the Develi district. Today the sculpture is on a square which is called the "Aşık Seyrani Square".
A couple years ago the sculpture was renovated again. The sculpture was put onto a new marble base. Poems of Seyrani are written on this base. The renovations were finished by June 2018.

Woody plant encroachment
|
Woody plant encroachment is when bushes, shrubs and woody plants grow more and take over an area where there used to be grass and other plants. It happens mostly in grasslands, savannas and woodlands and can change the area from being open to being closed. The causes of this include things like people using the land too much, not having fires, and climate change. It can be bad for nature and for people who use the land. Some countries try to stop this by doing things like cutting down some of the bushes, using fire and managing the land. Sometimes, this type of land is good for the climate because it can take in carbon. But, it is not always good and more research is needed to understand the effects on the climate.
It is different from invasive species which are plants that are brought from other places.
Reasons.
Woody encroachment probably started thousands of years ago, when Earth started warming, but it has happened much faster during the last 50 years. There are different possible reasons for woody encroachment, some directly linked to the action of people, others linked to climate change. The reasons for woody encroachment are very different between dry grasslands and wet grasslands. Once the bushes and shrubs have grown and taken over an area, they make it harder for grass to grow. This makes the problem of woody encroachment continue.
Land use.
When people abandon land, that means when they stop using the land for agriculture, bushes often start growing. This happens for example in the Alps in Southern Europe, because more and more people leave their farms and move to cities.
Also when people use land very intensively, bush encroachment can happen. For example when farmers bring many cows to areas where wild animals lived before, these cows eat up most of the grass quickly, but do not touch the bushes. The result is that bushes occupy more and more of the land, while grasses start to disappear. Once woody encroachment has started, it is hard to stop it, even when the number of cows is made less.
Climate Change.
While changes in how people use the land is often seen as the main reason for woody encroachment, some studies suggest that global factors like climate change and rainfall patterns also play a role. Climate change can make it easier for bushes and shrubs to grow because of things like more CO2 in the air and changes in temperature and rainfall. Once the bushes and shrubs are established, they can make it harder for grass to grow and the problem of woody encroachment can continue. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report, high latitude tundra and boreal forests are particularly at risk of woody encroachment due to climate change.
Results.
Woody encroachment is a big change for nature in areas where it happens. Often, the encroachment is seen as harmful to nature. It can make the number of different plant species less, it allows less water to go into the ground and animals have less to eat. For that reason woody encroachment is often called a form or land degradation. But this is not always the case, encroachment can also lead to good changes in nature. That is why one must study woody encroachment in each area where it happens, before making conclusions.
How woody encroachment changes nature depends on different things:
Many scientists see woody encroachment as a form of land degradation and think it can even lead to the creation of new deserts. Because bushes make nature look more green, the encroachment is sometimes called "green desertification".
Biodiversity.
Woody encroachment can have negative effects on the variety of plants and animals in that area (biodiversity). In Africa, the number of different plants and animals usually decreases when woody encroachment happens. In North America, the number of different plants and animals may increase or decrease depending on the area. In Brazil, one third of the different plant species are lost because of woody encroachment.
The following list shows what species are affected by woody encroachment:

The race was held on a sunny day, but with the water temperature of the sea being low.
At the beginning of the race Truus Klapwijk (backstroke) was leading the race. The second swimmer of the Netherlands Loes Brandt (breaststroke) was not as fast as the French swimmer and so the France was leading the race. With a lot of effort the later Dutch women Annie Treffers (sidestroke) and Rie Beisenherz (freestyle) were not able to close the gap. The French team won in a time of 2:56, 3 seconds ahead of the Netherlands. Belgium finished third and Sweden and Great Britain finished fourth and fifth.

Hurricane Nicole (2022)
|
Hurricane Nicole was a November 2022 hurricane in the Atlantic Ocean. The storm struck the northern Bahamas and eastern Florida on November 9. It continued into the following day as a mild-to-moderate Category 1 hurricane.
Before Nicole hit, tropical storm and hurricane notices were issued for the Bahamas and from eastern Florida to South Carolina.
The storm started as a subtropical cyclone then became a tropical one. It soon became a category 1 hurricane with winds up to 75 miles per hour. It weakened back into a tropical storm after making landfall in Florida.
Storm surges were recorded up to 6 feet in certain areas. The storm was expected to give tropical storm conditions to coastal Georgia and cause storm surge. There, in some places, a storm surge watch or warning was in effect.

Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer
|
Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (JUICE) is a space probe made by the European Space Agency that will explore Jupiter's major moons, mostly just Ganymede, Europa, and Callisto. It is powered by solar panels, like NASA's Juno spacecraft.
The spacecraft launched on 14 April 2023. It will reach Jupiter's orbit in July 2031 after four gravity assists and eight years of travel.
It will fly near the moons before going into orbit around Ganymede.
Instruments onboard JUICE.
JANUS- An optical camera system
MAJIS- Moon and Jupiter imaging Spectrometer
GALA- Ganymede laser Altimeter
J-Mag- A magnetometer for JUICE
RPWI- Radio & Plasma Wave Investigation
UVS- UV imaging Spectrograph
SWI- Sub-millimeter Wave Instrument
RIME- Radar for Icy Moons Exploration
PEP- Particle Environment Package
3GM- Gravity & Geophysics of Jupiter and Galilean Moons
History.
Juice builds on the previously proposed Europa Jupiter System Mission (EJSM-Laplace), a planned collaborative mission between ESA and NASA that would have carried out an in-depth study of the Jovian system and its icy moons. It is now foreseen that the Juice and NASA Europa Clipper spacecraft will be exploring the Jovian system simultaneously.
Spacecraft structure.
Three-axis stabilized with 10 solar panels and a 2.5-metre-long High Gain Antenna, with a dry mass of approximately 2400 kg and a wet mass (including fuel) of approximately 6000 kg. Each solar panel measures about 2.5 m x 3.5 m; with five on each side of the spacecraft deployed as two distinctive cross-shaped arrays, these total an area of about 85 square meters.
Journey.
Juice will spend approximately eight years cruising to Jupiter, during which it will complete fly-bys of Venus, Earth and the Earth-Moon system. It will reach Jupiter in July 2031; six months before entering orbit around Jupiter, Juice will begin its nominal science phase. The spacecraft will go on to spend many months orbiting Jupiter, completing fly-bys of Europa, Ganymede and Callisto, and finally conducting an orbital tour of Ganymede.

Rare Earth hypothesis
|
The Rare Earth hypothesis suggests that life on Earth needed an improbable combination of astrophysical and geological circumstances. It is proposed by Peter Ward and Donald Brownlee. If it is true, then the chances of extraterrestrial life elsewhere is close to none.
The idea has nothing to do with the chemicals known as rare earths. The proposed idea suggests that the Earth itself is rare. Certainly, we do not know how rare it is or is not. At present we cannot see planets as small as Earth orbiting their stars. Presumably that could be decided if our powers of magnification were great enough.

Pyrrhic War
|
The Pyrrhic War (280–275 BC) was mostly fought between the Roman Republic and Pyrrhus, the king of Epirus. he was a distant relative of Alexander the Great. The people of the Greek city of Tarentum in southern Italy asked him to help them in their war against the Romans.
He was a skilled commander, with a strong army supported by war elephants. The Romans were not used to them. Pyrrhus beat the Roman legions, but suffered heavy losses even when he won. Plutarch wrote that Pyrrhus said after the second battle of the war, "If we are victorious in one more battle with the Romans, we shall be utterly ruined." The Romans had plenty of military manpower and could replace their losses. This is the source of the expression "Pyrrhic victory", a victory that inflicts losses the winner cannot afford in the long term.
Worn down by the battles against Rome, Pyrrhus moved his army to Sicily to fight the Carthaginians instead. After several years of campaigning there (278–275 BC), he returned to Italy in 275 BC, where the last battle of the war was fought. The Roman victory. Following this, Pyrrhus returned to Epirus, ending the war. Three years later, in 272 BC, the Romans captured Tarentum.

Marcelo Bonelli
|
Marcelo Alberto Bonelli (Born, October 8, 1955) is an Argentine political and economics journalist.
Biography.
He began his career in 1985 on El Trece. Since 2005 he has been the host of the morning news show Arriba Argentinos on Channel 13. He writes for the newspaper Clarín. He is a fan of Racing Club.
He has been awarded national and international prizes on various occasions: in 1997 he received the Konex Prize. In 1998 he received the Ondas Prize, awarded by Cadena Ser of Spain for the investigation carried out in the program A Dos Voces on the disappeared children in Argentina.
Controversies.
On March 17, 2017, the newspaper Clarín published an article by Bonelli in which he stated that, during an interview between the former president of the Spanish government Felipe González and President Mauricio Macri, the former had told him that "no one is going to invest seriously in Argentina until Cristina's acts of corruption are judged and sentenced", after asking "When is Cristina going to go to jail?".
The former president responded by sending González and Macri two notes. He urged them to confirm what was stated in Bonelli's article, and considering that the Argentine president had the duty to reject demonstrations that "import unprecedented extortion and undue interference in internal affairs, in addition to the exclusive recourse of justice."
That day, González denied through his spokesman that the former President had maintained that position before the Argentine President, news that was published by the newspaper in a note by Bonelli himself, in which he insisted that what he had published was true. In the same sense, Felipe González spoke and asked the newspaper to clarify the situation, which the newspaper did not.
