Kamyshin school massacre
|
On March 9, 1997, an incident occurred at the Kamyshin High Military Construction Command and Engineering School. In the incident, six students died and two students were injured. It was the first known incident of school shooting in modern Russia.
Course of events.
At around 4 a.m. on 9 March 1997, 18-year-old cadet Sergei Lepnev, who surrendered his gun during the change of guard, opened fire on other cadets after he shot the guard Gennady Ivanov in the head. When Lepnev went to finish Pavel Grigoryev's work, the bullet in his gun ran out and they fled the scene with Arefyov.
Punishments.
The court sentenced Arefyev to 3.5 years in prison and Lepnev to death. These sentences were commuted to a 25-year strict regime due to the moratorium. Lepnev is currently serving his sentence in the "White Swan" penitentiary. He was tried to be released on parole in March 2021.
Join.
Described as a "good boy" by his acquaintances, Sergei Lepnev studied well and had no problems at school.

Copan brook frog
|
The Copan brook frog ("Duellmanohyla soralia") is a frog. It lives in Honduras and Guatemala. Scientists have seen it between 40 and 1200 meters above sea level in Honduras and between 725 and 1200 m above sea level in Guatemala.
The adult male frog is 26.8-32 mm long from nose to rear end and the largest adult female frogs are 38 mm long. The skin of the frog's back is brown with green and black marks. The iris of the eye is red in color.
The tadpoles swim in pools in mountain streams where the water moves slowly.
This frog is in danger of dying out. Human beings change the places where it lives to collect wood for building. Diseases can also kill this frog. For example, the fungal disease chytridiomycosis can kill this frog.
The frog's scientific name comes from the Greek language word "soralia," which is about lichen. The marks on the frog's back make scientists think of lichen.

Single-stage-to-orbit
|
A single-stage-to-orbit (abbreviated as SSTO) is a hypothetical spacecraft. It can reach space from the surface of a planet without expending major pieces of the craft (such as engines, fuel tanks, or wings). As of November 2022, no SSTOs have successfully made it to space from Earth's surface; all space launches so far have been performed by rockets with multiple stages.
Advantages.
SSTOs have been supposed to hold many advantages over rockets. The main one is their reusability. Most launch systems are expendable (meaning that they are used once and not reused or recovered), with some exception of partially reusable launch systems (such as NASA's Space Shuttle or SpaceX's Falcon Heavy). Such partially reusable launch systems have significantly reduced many peoples' interest in SSTOs, because they dramatically lower launch costs using already proven technology that doesn't need expensive development.
Challenges.
Technical issues.
It is generally considered possible for a rocket-powered SSTO to reach Earth orbit, so long as the many technical challenges with SSTOs can be solved sometime in the future. The main complications with SSTOs are:
All of these challenges have to be solved, made to work in a singular vehicle with little to no expenditure of hardware, and with some breathing room left over for the weight of the craft's payload. Doing so is a hard challenge. Scientists have been finding solutions for decades.
Costs.
Assuming these challenges can be solved, it is likely that the regular maintenance costs of an SSTO would be very high. This is for multiple reasons; not only would the craft need to be refueled after every flight, any hull damage sustained during flight (specifically atmospheric reentry) would need to be fixed with absolute precision and no mistakes, every time, in order to prevent a catastrophic failure of the craft.
To reach the speeds needed to achieve Earth orbit in one stage, an SSTO would have to take advantage of highly advanced propulsion technology, such as scramjets or hybrid-cycle rocket engines.
Proposed SSTOs.
Multiple SSTO concepts have been purported, and some have even begun the early stages of development.
Skylon.
The Skylon is a proposed SSTO that was first revealed in 1993. The Skylon would be propelled by two hybrid-cycle rocket engines. They are called SABRE engines. The SABRE engines would have two modes of operation: in atmosphere, they would act as airbreathing engines; at very high altitudes (approaching the edge of Earth's atmosphere), they would switch to a closed cycle rocket mode, using on-board liquid oxidizer to continue fuel combustion and propel the craft.
Skylon is still in very early development; very little funding for its development has been secured. A prototype functional SABRE engine has yet to be built.
Starship.
Although not technically meant to be an SSTO, Elon Musk has said that the SpaceX Starship's upper stage could reach low Earth orbit on its own. It would, however, have little to no fuel left for orbital maneuvering or return to Earth's surface, no landing gear, no heat shield, and no usable payload.

NGC 55
|
NGC 55 is a Magellanic type barred spiral galaxy located about 6.5 million light years away in the constellation Sculptor. Along with its neighbor NGC 300, it is one of the closest galaxies to the Local Group, probably lying between the Milky Way and the Sculptor Group. It has an estimated mass of (2.0 ± 0.4) × 1010 "M"☉.
Nearby galaxies and group information.
NGC 55 and the spiral galaxy NGC 300 have permanently been identified as members of the Sculptor Group, a nearby group of galaxies in the constellation of Sculptor. However, recent distance measurements point to that the two galaxies actually lie in the foreground.
It is likely that NGC 55 and NGC 300 form a gravitationally bound pair.

Grimm's law
|
Grimm's law is the name for sound laws in Proto-Indo-European languages. In the 1st millennium BC, some sounds in these languages changed. The law is named after the German linguist Jacob Grimm, who described the sound changes in the early 19th century.
It is known that almost all modern European languages originated in (grew out of) early Indo-European language. Proto-Indo-European (PIE) is the reconstructed common ancestor of those modern languages.
Grimm's law is sometimes called First Germanic sound shift. There also was a Second Germanic sound shift, which affected mostly German dialects and happened much later.
Historical background.
Jacob Grimm based his theory on the Danish philologist Rasmus Christian Rask’s "essay On the Origin of the Icelandic Language". He examined the relationship between consonants in Germanic languages and other Indo-European languages such as Latin or French. The results of the change in consonants are still visible in English, Dutch, and the Scandinavian languages.
The first Germanic sound shift.
A chain shift is a series of interrelated sound changes. The assumption behind the chain shift is that all the phonemes of a language build a balanced system and so a change in one part of the system can cause changes in its other parts.
Many chain shifts are vowel shifts because many sets of vowels are naturally arranged on a multi-value scale (such as vowel height or frontness). However, chain shifts can also occur in consonants. The modern word "apple" used to be pronounced with "b" (Gaulish "abalom" or Lithuanian "obuolỹs"), a change that occurred with Grimm's law.
Therefore, in terms of consonants, the shift from PIE to Proto-Germanic (PG) can be split into three stages:
Explanation.
The first group of voiceless stop consonants:
All of the words that consisted of the presented consonants were affected by Grimm's law. Some words may have undergone only one or two of the changes, but others may have undergone all of them.
Similarities in Germanic languages.
The impact of the first Germanic sound shift can be followed across most of the Germanic languages. We can see that many words are similar in sound and meaning because of the shift. Grimm's law provides an insight into why and how core words sound so similar in Germanic languages but are, in some respects, quite distinct from other Indo-European languages:
Thpse changes may also have created consonant clusters in words that contain two or more consonants:
When did it happen?
It is not possible to exactly say when it happened. Most people say that it was around 500 BC since several loanwords in Germanic language were not afftected by the shift before the 5th century BC. There are some examples that show that the shift was completed in the 1st century BC.

Honduran brook frog
|
The Honduran brook frog ("Duellmanohyla salvavida") is a frog. It lives in Honduras. Scientists have seen it between 90 and 1400 m above sea level in Honduras in rainforests.
The adult male frog is 25.1-28 mm long from nose to rear end and the adult female frog is about 34 mm long. The skin of the frog's back is green in color, light or dark. The belly is yellow. There is a white stripe on the face underneath the eye. The stripe goes down the side of the body. There is a whitish spot above the place where the legs meet the body. The insides of the legs are light yellow in color. The iris of the eye is red in color.
This frog is in danger of dying out. Human beings change the places where it lives. They cut down trees to make farms and towns. Droughts can kill this frog. Floods can kill this frog. Other animals, including some animals brought to the area by humans by accident can eat this frog. Climate change can kill this frog because there is more ultraviolet light. Diseases kill this frog. For example, the fungal disease chytridiomycosis can kill this frog.
The scientific name of this frog, "salvavida", means "lifesaver." The scientists named it after a Honduran beer called Salvavida.

Ayyubid Sultanate
|
The Ayyubid Sultanate (Arabic: الأيوبيون "al-Ayyūbīyūn"; Kurdish: ئەیووبیەکان, Eyûbiyan) was a Sunni Muslim dynasty of Kurdish origin that ruled Egypt, Syria, the Jazira and the Yemen in the 12th and 13th centuries. The name of the dynasty is attributed to Ayyub b. Shadhi, the father of Saladin. The Ayyūbids played a significant role in the history of the region, notably ending Fatimid, uniting Syria and Egypt, and defeating the Crusaders.
Saladin, founder of the dynasty, was Kurdish and the former vizier of Fatimid Caliphate.
Kurd or Arab?
Bosworth states that the Ayyubids belonged to the Hadhbani tribe of the Kurds, but argues that the Ayyubids were considerably Arabized.
Humphreys also identifies Saladin as a Kurd and the Ayyubids as a Kurdish family. He argues that the Ayyubids were not specifically a Kurdish state, and that at the level of political structure, the governing attitudes of the Ayyubid confederation were not significantly different from those of previous Arab states such as the Abbasids and Fatimids, which can certainly be attributed to the political institutions of their original homeland. Humphreys takes into account Minorsky's speculations on the "Arab origins" of the Ayyubids.
Tabaa, on the other hand, argues that over time the Ayyubids drastically moved away from their Kurdish origins and became decidedly Arabized.
Medieval historiography.
Various medieval historians spoke of Saladin's Kurdishness:
Minhaj-i Siraj Juzjani (1193–1266) at "Tabaqat-i Nasiri":
The Chronography of Bar Habraeus (1225–1286):
Ibn Khallikan (1211–1282) at "Wafayat al-Ayan":

Wang Film Productions
|
Wang Film Productions Co., Ltd. (also known as Hong Guang Animation (宏廣) and Cuckoos' Nest Studio) is a Taiwanese-American animation studio since 1978.
History.
Wang Film/Cuckoos' Nest, the studio's original name, was founded by James C.Y. Wang (王中元)/Wang Zhongyuan, Hsu Chih-wei and Lu Kuang-chi started the studio in 1978 as an overseas facility for the U.S. animation outlet Hanna–Barbera. Hanna-Barbera sent Jerry Smith to help set up the company and eventually owned half the company. Many employees from Chunghwa Cartoon came to work at Cuckoos' Nest Studio along with employees from Ying Ren Cartoon and Shang Shang. Don Patterson was brought on board as a trainer. The company started with about 50 employees but soon had 300.
In the company's first year, 17 episodes were produced for Hanna-Barbera. Quickly, they had contracts with Walt Disney, Warner Brothers, and Universal.
With increased wages and foreign exchange rates, Cuckoos' was being priced out of the outsourcing market. Thus the CNS began restructuring. A Chinese subsidiary was opened in 1990 in Zhuhai, southern Guangdong province. In 1991, Cuckoos' Nest had to lay off 200 employees in Taipei. The company began computerization to reduced cost, while training some that would have been laid off to operate the computers. By 1993, the company had capacity to produce 200 half hour episodes each year. In 1993, a Shanghai unit, possibly a joint venture, was under consideration with Bangkok as an alternative. Also, internal developed and produced material was expected to start hitting the market in mid-1994.
In early 1991, Hanna-Barbera sold its digital ink and paint software to the company which was developed by Marc Levoy.
The company is also famous for their work on the overseas production for Nelvana's "Care Bears" franchise, Film Roman's "Garfield and Friends" and "Bobby's World", Klasky Csupo's "Rugrats" pilot and first season, Disney's "DuckTales" and Stretch Films' "Courage the Cowardly Dog". They also helped produce effects for the 1982 film "Tron" and some "Peanuts" television specials, production ink & paint matting, and animation assistance.
