37323214 | Alassane També | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alassane%20També | Alassane També
came true but it's only the start for me. I have to keep on working and continue my development."

37323363 | Ekspress MD2 | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ekspress%20MD2 | Ekspress MD2
Ekspress MD2
Ekspress MD2 is a Russian communications satellite which was lost due to a launch failure on 6 August 2012. Equipped with eight C band transponders and one L band transponder, it was intended to be located in geostationary orbit at a longitude of 145° east. It was the second Ekspress MD satellite to be launched, following Ekspress MD1 in 2009.
# Launch.
Ekspress MD2 was launched atop a Proton-M rocket with a Briz-M upper stage on 6 August 2012 at 19:31 UTC. The Indonesian Telkom-3 satellite was also carried aboard the rocket. Launch occurred from Site 81/24 at the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. The first three stages of the Proton launched worked as expected and the satellites | 6,132,611 |
37323363 | Ekspress MD2 | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ekspress%20MD2 | Ekspress MD2
were attached to the Briz-M upper stage which would transfer them into geosynchronous orbit. The Briz-M undertakes a series of four burns with coasting stages in order to do this. The third burn was due to be 18 minutes long but the engines cut out after 7 seconds, leaving the satellites in unusable orbits.
This was the second launch failure caused by a Briz-M within twelve months as Ekspress-AM4 was lost in August 2011 due to a computer error. Other recent launch failures included three GLONASS satellites in 2011 and Mars probe Fobos-Grunt. All Proton-M launches were suspended and all Briz-M stages were recalled. This triggered discussion on the crisis in the Russian space industry with Russian | 6,132,612 |
37323363 | Ekspress MD2 | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ekspress%20MD2 | Ekspress MD2
Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev quoted as saying, "We are losing authority and billions of rubles" due to the frequent launch failures. Medvedev chaired a meeting on the issue on 14 August 2012 and President Vladimir Putin had a meeting on organisational issues. One of the suggestions is that Roscosmos could be transformed into a corporation similar to Rosatom.
An investigation was set up by Roskosmos head Vladimir Popovkin and was headed by O.P. Skorobogatov from TsNIIMash. It was reported in early August by Russian newspaper "Kommersant" that the failure was caused by a fault in the fuel pipe in the Briz-M. The Khrunichev Failure Review Oversight Board found that it was caused by a faulty | 6,132,613 |
37323363 | Ekspress MD2 | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ekspress%20MD2 | Ekspress MD2
igation was set up by Roskosmos head Vladimir Popovkin and was headed by O.P. Skorobogatov from TsNIIMash. It was reported in early August by Russian newspaper "Kommersant" that the failure was caused by a fault in the fuel pipe in the Briz-M. The Khrunichev Failure Review Oversight Board found that it was caused by a faulty component in the pressurisation system.
On 16 October 2012 the Briz-M exploded into eighty pieces.
The director general of Khrunichev, Vladimir Nesterov, was dismissed from his post by President Vladimir Putin. The first Proton-M launch following this incident was the launch of Intelsat 23 on 14 October 2012. It had been postponed from August due to the launch failure. | 6,132,614 |

37323169 | Names of Indonesia | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Names%20of%20Indonesia | Names of Indonesia
Names of Indonesia
Indonesia is the common and official name to refer the Republic of Indonesia or Indonesian archipelago; however, other names, such as Nusantara and East Indies are also known. Some names are considered obsolete and confined to certain periods of history, while some might be more geographically specific or general.
# History.
On identifying geographical names of their lands, the Indonesian natives seldom transcend their traditional boundaries, which is relatively small confined in their tribal environs. There are around 300 distinct native ethnic groups in Indonesia, and 742 different languages and dialects, which add to the complexity and nonconformity on the naming of the | 6,132,618 |
37323169 | Names of Indonesia | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Names%20of%20Indonesia | Names of Indonesia
region. The concept of identifying the whole archipelagic region that today forms Indonesia with a single name was unknown then. Geographical names usually applied to individual islands, such as Java, one of the earliest identified islands in the Indonesian archipelago. It was foreign traders and explorers from India, China, Middle East, and Europe who finally chose the names of this region.
# Yavadvipa.
The island of Java was the earliest island within Indonesia to be identified by the geographers of the outside world. "Yavadvipa" is mentioned in India's earliest epic, the Ramayana dating to approximately 5th–4th century BC. It was mentioned that Sugriva, the chief of Rama's army dispatched | 6,132,619 |
37323169 | Names of Indonesia | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Names%20of%20Indonesia | Names of Indonesia
his men to Yawadvipa, the island of Java, in search of Sita.
# Suvarnadvipa.
Suvarnadvipa, "Golden Island", may have been used as a vague general designation of an extensive region in Southeast Asia, but over time, different parts of that area came to be designated by the additional epithets of island, peninsula or city. In contrast the ancient name for the Indian subcontinent is "Jambudvipa". In ancient Indonesia, the name "Suvarnadvipa" is used to designate Sumatra island; as counterpart of neighbouring "Javadvipa" or "Bhumijava" (Java island). Both Java and Sumatra are the principal islands in Indonesian history.
# Iabadiu.
The great island of Iabadiu or Jabadiu was mentioned in Ptolemy's | 6,132,620 |
37323169 | Names of Indonesia | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Names%20of%20Indonesia | Names of Indonesia
"Geographia" composed around 150 CE in the Roman Empire. Iabadiu is said to mean "barley island", to be rich in gold, and have a silver town called Argyra at the west end. The name indicated Java, and seems to be derived from the Hindu name Java-dvipa (Yawadvipa). Despite the name's indicating Java, many suggest that it refers to Sumatra instead.
# Jawi.
Eighth-century Arabs geographers identified the whole Maritime Southeast Asian region as "Jawi" (Arabic:جاوي). The word "Jawi" (جاوي) is an adjective for the Arabic noun "Jawah" (جاوة). Both terms may originate from an Indian source, the term "Javadvipa", the ancient name for Java. "Jawah" and "Jawi" may have been used by the Arabs as catch-all | 6,132,621 |
37323169 | Names of Indonesia | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Names%20of%20Indonesia | Names of Indonesia
terms referring to the entire Maritime Southeast Asia and its peoples. Today, the term Jawi is also used to describe Jawi alphabet, the Arabic script that has been used and modified to write in Southeast Asian languages, especially Malay language. In native Javanese language, the term also means Java (geographically: "tanah Jawi" , or ethnically: "tiyang Jawi" ).
# Nanyang.
Nanyang (南洋) (literally meaning "Southern Ocean"), is a Chinese term denoting the greater Maritime Southeast Asia region not only Indonesia, but also including Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, and Brunei, but usually excluding other mainland Southeast Asian nations, especially the other nations on the Indochinese peninsula. | 6,132,622 |
37323169 | Names of Indonesia | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Names%20of%20Indonesia | Names of Indonesia
It came into common usage in self-reference to the large ethnic Chinese migrant population in Southeast Asia.
Nanyang is contrasted with "Dongyang" (Eastern Ocean), which refers to Japan.
# East Indies.
The term "the Indies" derived from the Indus River flowing through modern-day Pakistan, India and western Tibet. It was applied by the ancient Greeks to most of the regions of Asia to the east of Persia. This usage dates at least from the time of Herodotus, in the 5th century BC (see Names of India). The term "Indies" was first used by European geographers to identify the geographic region of the Indian Subcontinent, and the islands beyond.
After the discovery of America, the term was modified | 6,132,623 |
37323169 | Names of Indonesia | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Names%20of%20Indonesia | Names of Indonesia
to include "east", to distinguish the area from the area associated with Columbus' discoveries, called the West Indies. During the age of exploration in the 16th century, "East Indies" became a term used by Europeans to identify what is now known as Indian subcontinent or South Asia, Southeastern Asia, and the islands of Oceania and Maritime Southeast Asia. During that era, the East Indies portion now called "Indonesia" fell under Dutch colonial control and therefore was referred to as Dutch East Indies.
# Insulindia.
Insulindia or Insulinde, is an archaic geographical term for Maritime Southeast Asia, encompassing the entire area situated between Australasia and Indochina. More common in | 6,132,624 |
37323169 | Names of Indonesia | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Names%20of%20Indonesia | Names of Indonesia
Portuguese and Spanish, it is a combined word (portmanteau) from "insula" ("island") and "india" (India).
# Indonesia.
"Indonesia" derives from the Latin and Greek "Indus" (Ἰνδός), meaning "Indian", and the Greek "nésos" (νῆσος), meaning "island". The name dates to the 18th century, far predating the formation of independent Indonesia. In 1850, George Windsor Earl, an English ethnologist, proposed the terms "Indunesians" — and, his preference, "Malayunesians" — for the inhabitants of the "Indian Archipelago or Malayan Archipelago". In the same publication, a student of Earl's, James Richardson Logan, used "Indonesia" as a synonym for "Indian Archipelago". However, Dutch academics writing in | 6,132,625 |
37323169 | Names of Indonesia | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Names%20of%20Indonesia | Names of Indonesia
East Indies publications were reluctant to use "Indonesia". Instead, they used the terms "Malay Archipelago" ("Maleische Archipel"); the "Netherlands East Indies" ("Nederlandsch Oost Indië"), popularly "Indië"; "the East" ("de Oost"); and "Insulinde".
After 1900, the name "Indonesia" became more common in academic circles outside the Netherlands, and Indonesian nationalist groups adopted it for political expression. Adolf Bastian, of the University of Berlin, popularised the name through his book "Indonesien oder die Inseln des Malayischen Archipels, 1884–1894". The first Indonesian scholar to use the name was Suwardi Suryaningrat (Ki Hajar Dewantara), when he established a press bureau in | 6,132,626 |
37323169 | Names of Indonesia | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Names%20of%20Indonesia | Names of Indonesia
the Netherlands, "Indonesisch Pers-bureau", in 1913. Although the name was originally meant for scientific purposes, on 28 October 1928, the name "Indonesia" gained more political significance when the native pro-independence nationalist youth in Dutch East Indies declared the Youth Pledge; acknowledge Indonesia as one motherland, one nation, and uphold Indonesian as the language of unity.
# Malayunesia.
"Malayunesia" is another name next to "Indunesia" that was proposed by George Samuel Windsor Earl to identify the archipelago. It was a Greek translation of the Malay Archipelago also connected to the concept of Malay race, the inhabitant of the archipelago. It was said that Windsor Earl prefer | 6,132,627 |
37323169 | Names of Indonesia | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Names%20of%20Indonesia | Names of Indonesia
the name Malayunesia (Malay Archipelago) instead of Indunesia (Indian Archipelago), because Malayunesia is an appropriate name for the Malay archipelago, while Indunesia can also refer to Ceylon (Sri Lanka) and Maldives. He also argues that Malay language is spoken throughout the archipelago.
# Nusantara.
Nusantara is an Indonesian word for the Indonesian archipelago. It originated from Old Javanese and literally means "archipelago". The name derived from the Old Javanese words of sanskrit origin "nusa" ("island") (The word "nosy" in Malagasy refers to "island", wich proves the connection between the two cultures) and "antara" ("in between") or "antero" ("the whole of" or "the collection of"); | 6,132,628 |
37323169 | Names of Indonesia | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Names%20of%20Indonesia | Names of Indonesia
the combined word therefore connotes "collection of islands" or "archipelago".
The word Nusantara was taken from an oath by Gajah Mada in 1336, as written on an old Javanese manuscript Pararaton and Negarakertagama. Gajah Mada was a powerful military leader and prime minister of the Majapahit Empire who was credited with bringing the empire to its peak of glory. Gajah Mada delivered an oath called "Sumpah Palapa", in which he vowed not to eat any food containing spices until he had conquered all of Nusantara under Majapahit.
In 1920, Ernest Francois Eugene Douwes Dekker (1879–1950), proposed "Nusantara" as a new name for this country instead of "Indonesia". He argued that the name was more | 6,132,629 |
37323169 | Names of Indonesia | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Names%20of%20Indonesia | Names of Indonesia
indigenously developed, which did not contain any words etymologically inherited from the name "Indies", "Indus" or "India". This is the first instance of the term "Nusantara" appearing after it had been written in Pararaton manuscript.
The definition of Nusantara introduced by Douwes Dekker is different from its 14th century definition. During the Majapahit era, Nusantara was described as vassal areas to be conquered, the overseas possessions of Majapahit, in contrast with "Negara Agung" or the core of Majapahit. However, Douwes Dekker did not want this aggressive connotation, so he defined Nusantara as all the Indonesian regions from Sabang as far as Merauke. Although Douwes Dekker's proposal | 6,132,630 |
37323169 | Names of Indonesia | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Names%20of%20Indonesia | Names of Indonesia
did not succeed, and the name "Indonesia" remained in use for the nation's name, the name "Nusantara" has been widely used in literature, printed and broadcast news materials and popular publications, thus it has become the synonym for Indonesia.
# Poetic literature names.
Some literature works and poems describe Indonesia in eloquent poetic names, such as "Zamrud Khatulistiwa" ("Emerald of the Equator"), which refers to Indonesian green and lush tropical rainforest as the emeralds, as well as the geographic position of Indonesia, along the equator. It was coined by Multatuli (a pen name used by Eduard Douwes Dekker, Ernest Douwes Dekker's granduncle), a 19th-century Dutch writer, who described | 6,132,631 |
37323169 | Names of Indonesia | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Names%20of%20Indonesia | Names of Indonesia
as the geographic position of Indonesia, along the equator. It was coined by Multatuli (a pen name used by Eduard Douwes Dekker, Ernest Douwes Dekker's granduncle), a 19th-century Dutch writer, who described Dutch East Indies as ""'t prachtig ryk van Insulinde dat zich daar slingert om den evenaar, als een gordel van smaragd"" ("the beautiful empire of Insulinde that girdles the equator like a belt of emerald").
Other epithets such as "Bumi Pertiwi" ("Land of Pertiwi or Mother Earth"), refer to Indonesia through its national personification, Ibu Pertiwi, and "Tanah Air" (Indonesian lit: "soil and water"), an Indonesian word for "homeland".

Fujiwara no Tsunetsugu
# Mission to China.
In 833, Emperor Ninmyō named Tsunetsugu the Imperial ambassador to China, with Ono Takamura his deputy. The principal aims of the mission was trade - books, art, and luxuries (such as perfume) were in high demand. The intended mission was ready by 836. Prayers at the Shintō shrine at Kitano were ordered in an attempt to ensure the success of the expedition. However, adverse weather conditions damaged the ships and forced the mission to unsuccessfully return to Japan. Due to the reluctance of the leaders to sail again, the second attempt came in 838. Takamura remained in Japan; he alleged that Tsunetsugu mistreated him. In 839 the expedition successfully | 6,132,638 |

Takamura remained in Japan; he alleged that Tsunetsugu mistreated him. In 839 the expedition successfully reached China, after stopping in Korea to charter Korean ships, known to be of better quality than those made in Japan. He was the last envoy from Japan to China during the Heian period.

Uniform Interstate Depositions and Discovery Act
The Uniform Interstate Depositions and Discovery Act (UIDDA) is a model statute adopted by a majority of U.S. states to establish a uniform process for obtaining depositions and discovery in concert with other participating states. In 2007 the Uniform Law Commission (then primarily referred to as the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws) promulgated, and recommended all states enact, the UIDDA. To identify at which stage of enactment the various states and territories are, ULC maintains an up-to-date map.

Telkom-3
Telkom-3 is an Indonesian communications satellite which was lost due to a launch failure on 6 August 2012. It was built by ISS Reshetnev for Indonesian telecommunications provider PT Telekomunikasi Indonesia. It was based on the Ekspress-1000 bus and had 32 C band transponders and 16 Ku band transponders. It was due to be located in geosynchronous orbit at 118° east above the equator.
# Launch.
Telkom-3 was launched along with Ekspress MD2 by a Proton-M rocket with Briz-M upper stage on 6 August 2012 at 19:31 UTC. The satellites were launched from Site 81/24 at Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. The first three stages of the Proton launched worked as expected and the satellites were | 6,132,649 |
37323401 | Telkom-3 | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Telkom-3 | Telkom-3
attached to the Briz-M upper stage which would transfer them into geosynchronous orbit. The Briz-M undertakes a series of four burns with coasting stages to do this. The third burn was due to be 18 minutes long but the engines cut out after 7 seconds, leaving the satellites in unusable orbits.
Telkom-3 manufacturer ISS Reshetnev announced that the satellite was under control with its solar panels extended but would not be able to be used for its intended purpose as it is in the wrong orbit.
## Aftermath.
This was the second launch failure caused by a Briz-M within twelve months as Ekspress-AM4 was lost in August 2011 due to a computer error. Other recent launch failures included three GLONASS | 6,132,650 |
37323401 | Telkom-3 | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Telkom-3 | Telkom-3
satellites in 2011 and Mars probe Fobos-Grunt. All Proton-M launches were suspended and all Briz-M stages were recalled. This triggered discussion on the crisis in the Russian space industry with Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev quoted as saying "We are losing authority and billions of rubles" due to the frequent launch failures. Medvedev chaired a meeting on the issue on 14 August 2012 and President Vladimir Putin had a meeting on organisational issues. One of the suggestions is that Roscosmos could be transformed into a corporation similar to Rosatom.
An investigation was set up by Roskosmos head Vladimir Popovkin and was headed by O.P. Skorobogatov from TsNIIMash. It was reported in | 6,132,651 |
37323401 | Telkom-3 | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Telkom-3 | Telkom-3
early August by Russian newspaper Kommersant that the failure was caused by a fault in the fuel pipe in the Briz-M. The Khrunichev Failure Review Oversight Board found that it was caused by a faulty component in the pressurisation system.
On 16 October 2012 the Briz-M exploded into eighty pieces.
The director general of Khrunichev, Vladimir Nesterov, was dismissed from his post by President Vladimir Putin. The Proton-M returned to flight on 14 October, carrying Intelsat 23. It had been postponed from August due to the launch failure.
The replacement satellite, named Telkom-3S, was contract awarded to its satellite competitor, Thales Alenia Space on 28 July 2014. Telkom-3S was launched from | 6,132,652 |

Ramayan: Sabke Jeevan Ka Aadhar is an Indian mythological television series produced by Sagar Arts which aired on Zee TV.
# Synopsis.
"Ramayan" narrates the tale of Ram who was the eldest of the four sons of Dasharath, the King of Ayodhya. Ram was to become the Ruler of Ayodhya after his father's retirement. But his stepmother, Kaikeyi, under the influence of Manthara, wanted her son Bharat to become the king.
Recalling that Dasharath had once promised to grant her any two boons that she asked of him, she demanded that Ram should be exiled to the forest for 14 years and that Bharat should be crowned ruler in his stead. The promise-bound and heartbroken Dasharath was | 6,132,663 |

compelled to keep his word. Reluctantly, he asks Ram to leave for the forest. Rama happily accepts the exile and leaves for the forest and reluctantly accepts the company of his wife, Sita, and younger brother Lakshmana. When Bharat learns that his mother is responsible for Ram's exile, he follows Ram and importunes him to return with him to Ayodhya. But, Ram refuses, so Bharat decides instead to obtain Ram's paduka and places them on the throne as a gesture that Ram is the true king, ruling as his proxy and regent over Ayodhya.
Ram, Sita & Lakshmana wander the forests, combating evil wherever they find it and gaining the blessings of wise men and sages along the way. Many years later, Ravan, | 6,132,664 |

King George and Queen Mary
King George and Queen Mary: The Royals who Rescued the Monarchy is a 2012 British documentary series produced by the BBC. The programme premiered on BBC Two and consists of two episodes, each an hour long. The first episode, "King George V", premiered on 3 January 2012, and the second, devoted to Queen Mary, premiered on 4 January 2012. Rob Coldstream produced both episodes, and Denys Blakeway served as the executive producer of the series.
The programme explores the lives of King George V and Queen Mary, and their attempts at modernising the British Monarchy in response to the massive social changes during and following World War I. The first episode recalls how, | 6,132,672 |

fearing anti-German sentiment, the royal house name was changed by King George from the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha to the House of Windsor. The series also examines the personal lives of the couple, delving into their relationships with their children, and with each other. The marriage between George and Mary was an arranged marriage, occurring only because Prince Albert Victor, George's brother and Mary's original fiancé, died from influenza. George V is presented in the series as a disciplinarian, who strictly punished his children, but was known to be much more loving to his granddaughter, Queen Elizabeth II.

# Reception.
John Crace of "The Guardian" criticised the documentary, remarking that it "repeated familiar mantras about how the royal family cared a great deal more for the country than they did for each other" without ever "asking if we might not have been better off as a republic." Crace notes that the series was one of many programmes about royalty released in 2012, taking advantage of Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee. Patrick Smith of "The Daily Telegraph" was more positive, praising the first episode for its "eye-opening, and at times amusing anecdotes about George’s private persona, which were in sharp contrast to the warm description of his public one." | 6,132,674 |

Incudomalleolar joint
Incudomalleolar joint (more correctly called incudomallear joint) or articulatio incudomallearis is a small synovial joint between the malleus (hammer) and the incus (anvil). The joint's function is to transfer vibrations between the ossicles in the middle ear, which is perceived as sound. Contrary to other synovial joints the movement is very limited. All of the ossicles move more or less as a unit, at least at low frequencies.
When the eardrum is moved inward due to sound vibrations, transferred through the outer ear, it transmits to the handle or manubrium of the malleus which is connected to the ear drum. The head of the malleus (caput mallei) moves with it and transfers | 6,132,678 |

When the eardrum is moved inward due to sound vibrations, transferred through the outer ear, it transmits to the handle or manubrium of the malleus which is connected to the ear drum. The head of the malleus (caput mallei) moves with it and transfers energy/movement to the corpus of the incus (corpus incudis), which is located directly behind. The sound vibrations are then transferred to the stapes (stirrup) through the incudostapedial joint.

Code poetry
Code poetry is literature that intermixes notions of classical poetry and computer code. Unlike digital poetry, which prominently uses physical computers, code poems may or may not run through executable binaries. A code poem may be interactive or static, digital or analog. Code poems can be performed by computers or humans through spoken word and written text.
Examples of code poetry include: poems written in a programming language, but human readable as poetry; computer code expressed poetically, that is, playful with sound, terseness, or beauty.
A variety of events and websites allow the general public to present or publish code poetry, including Stanford University's Code Poetry | 6,132,680 |

Incudostapedial joint
Incudostapedial joint or articulatio incudostapedia is a small synovial joint between the incus (anvil) and the stapes (stirrup). Synovial joints are of different types depending upon the anatomy of the joint and the movement it allows. Thus, accordingly the incudostapedial joint is a ball and socket type of synovial joint. Incudmoalleolar joint is gliding type of synovial joint. The joint's function is to transfer vibrations between the ossicles in the middle ear, which is perceived as sound. The ossicular systems helps in matching the impedance the sound waves suffer, hence maintaining the intensity. Contrary to other synovial joints the moment is very limited and is | 6,132,689 |

usually only of springy character. All of the ossicles move as a unit.
The incudostapedial joint lies between the long leg (long crus or crus longum incudis) and the head of the stapes (caput stapedis).
When the eardrum is moved inward due to sound vibrations, transferred through the outer ear, it transmits to the malleus and then to the incus via the incudomalleolar joint. The long leg (long crus or crus longum incudis) moves with the rest of the incus and a small knob, the lenticular process, articulates with the head of the stapes. The stapes then transfers the vibration to oval window.
The lenticular process of the incus participates in joint formation. It is this lenticular process of | 6,132,690 |

Miss Mousie's Blind Date
Miss Mousie's Blind Date is a book by Canadian children's book author Tim Beiser, illustrated by Canadian painter Rachel Berman. It was published by Tundra Books in October 2012.
# Synopsis.
When Miss Mousie's eyes alight on handsome Matt laBatt, the water rat, in the deli, all she can think about is how to catch his attention. Should she try to speak, bat her eyelashes, drop her hankie? But the water rat breaks the spell by insulting Miss Mousie in front of Mole, the deli-owner. Fleeing home to her burrow in shame, Miss Mousie soon receives an anonymous dinner invitation that sets her life on a whole new course:
"We've never met (at least not yet),

at eight,
Would you agree to dine with me?
I'll be your mystery date."
# Critical reaction.
According to critics, "Miss Mousie’s Blind Date is an adorable story of mouse love, with a quirky, dramatic main character that children will find funny. Miss Mousie is clumsy and insecure, but she has a big heart and an even bigger personality. The sentence structure is wonderful with smooth rhymes to be found within the sentences as well as at the end. The story rolls off the tongue, and is not too complex, or too long, to engage a child from start to finish." "Beiser's sprightly text has warmth, heart and a valuable lesson.
