Crane (bird)

Cranes are a family , the Gruidae , of large , long - legged , and long - necked birds in the group Gruiformes .

The 15 species of cranes are placed in four genera .

Unlike the similar - looking but unrelated herons , cranes fly with necks outstretched , not pulled back .

Cranes live on all continents except Antarctica and South America .

They are opportunistic feeders that change their diets according to the season and their own nutrient requirements .

They eat a range of items from suitably sized small rodents , fish , amphibians , and insects to grain and berries .

Cranes construct platform nests in shallow water , and typically lay two eggs at a time .

Both parents help to rear the young , which remain with them until the next breeding season .

Some species and populations of cranes migrate over long distances ; others do not migrate at all .

Cranes are solitary during the breeding season , occurring in pairs , but during the nonbreeding season , they are gregarious , forming large flocks where their numbers are sufficient .

Most species of cranes have been affected by human activities and are at the least classified as threatened , if not critically endangered .

The plight of the whooping cranes of North America inspired some of the first US legislation to protect endangered species .

Salammbô

Salammbô ( 1862 ) is a historical novel by Gustave Flaubert .

It is set in Carthage during the 3rd century BC , immediately before and during the Mercenary Revolt which took place shortly after the First Punic War .

Flaubert 's main source was Book I of Polybius 's Histories .

The novel kickstarted a renewed interest in the history of the pre - Imperial Rome 's conflict with the North African Phoenician colony of Carthage .

Flaubert 's contemporary readers , familiar with his previous realistic work Madame Bovary , were shocked and , in some instances , even appalled by the indiscriminate violence and sensuality prevalent all throughout the novel which is why , notwithstanding the praise it received for the style it was written in as well as the story it tells , Salammbô remains controversial among the literary circles even to this day .

Regardless , it was a massive best - seller which sealed the author 's reputation as one of the most prominent French writers of the 19th century , with even some of the Carthaginian costumes described in it making an impact on the contemporary fashion in France .

Since then , however , it has fallen into obscurity in much of the Anglophone world .

Mega Man Star Force , known in Japan as , is a real - time tactical role - playing game , and the first installment in the " Mega Man Star Force " sub - franchise of Mega Man .

It was published and developed by Capcom for the Nintendo DS handheld video game console .

It was released on December 14 , 2006 in Japan , and in North America on August 7 , 2007 .

The game was released in three separate versions simultaneously , subtitled , , and , and each version contains exclusive cards and transformations .

However , the Dragon version was initially released exclusively to GameStop and EB Games stores in North America .

Despite the similarities , Mega Man Star Force is separate from the Mega Man Battle Network series , taking place many years afterward .

Star Force still uses a 3x3 vs. 3x3 playing field style ( similar to Battle Network ) but now in a 3D 3x5 .

Both an anime and manga were produced several months prior to the game 's Japanese release date .

So far , only the anime has been adapted into English .

A sequel , Mega Man Star Force 2 , was released on November 22 , 2007 .

Because of the networking capabilities of the Nintendo DS , players are now able to play against each other , trade battle cards , and form something called a Brother Band Network in the game via wireless connectivity .


Saint's name

A saint ’s name is the name of a saint given to individuals at their baptism or confirmation within the Catholic Church .

It is believed that the saint whose name is chosen will serve as a special patron to protect , guide , and be the heavenly intercessor for , the individual who bears his or her name .

The custom of giving the name of a saint originated in France and Germany during the Middle Ages and is still popular in continental Europe .

In many English - speaking countries , however , it is more common for the saint 's name to be adopted upon Confirmation , in which case it would usually not be part of one 's legal name .

Under the current Code of Canon Law , Canon 855 of the Code of Canon Law states " Parents , sponsors and parish priests are to take care that a name is not given which is foreign to Christian sentiment , " which would simply prohibit a baptismal name being something in the vein of " Satan , " " Lucifer " or " Death . "

However , this was not always the case ; in the 1917 Code of Canon Law , Canon 761 required pastors to ensure the baptismal name was a Christian name such as " Christian , " " Grace " or " Faith " - hence what is now called a given name was once referred to as a Christian name , originating with the pagans of Europe who discarded their pagan names for Biblical ones when they converted to Christianity and participated in baptism - or that an additional saint 's name must be given when the former is impossible .

In some cases , parents may give both a saint 's name and a secular name to a child , allowing them to use the saint 's name for religious purposes and the secular name for all other purposes .

This is especially common in cultures , such as in South Korea , where traditional given names do not line up with Catholic saints ' names ; many Catholics in English - speaking countries of Korean descent use a Korean forename as well as a saints ' name .

In some countries , the saint 's day of the person 's name is celebrated as a birthday is in other countries .

A child may also be named after the saint whose feast is the child 's birthday .


Angola–Democratic Republic of the Congo relations

Angola – Democratic Republic of the Congo relations refers to the current relationship between Angola and the Democratic Republic of the Congo .

Historically , Angola has been closely involved in Congolese politics , taking part in the 1997 war to oust Mobutu Sese Seko from power .

It then intervened during the Second Congo War in 1998 on the side of the new administration under Laurent - Désiré Kabila .

Since the end of the conflict , the Angolan government remained an ally of President Joseph Kabila and supported him militarily .

However , Angola 's main interest is stability in the DRC , and Kabila 's attempts to remain in power and postponement of elections since the end of his term in December 2016 , leading to mass protests , have caused a cooling in relations between the two countries .

About 30,000 Congolese refugees fleeing from violence in the Kasaï - Central region of the DRC due to the Kamwina Nsapu rebellion that began in August 2016 entered Angola .

By late 2017 , several thousand returned to Congo .

In October 2018 , about 300,000 Congolese fled Angola , many of them in response to violence in the mining town Lucapa ; DRC 's foreign minister Léonard She Okitundu summoned Angola ’s ambassador over the expulsion , demanding a “ comprehensive investigation to establish who is responsible for these wrongful acts ” .


Kaiser-class battleship

The Kaiser class was a class of five battleships that were built in Germany prior to World War I and served in the Imperial German Navy during the war .

All five ships saw action in the North Sea during the war ; they served together as the VI Division of the III Battle Squadron .

Four were present during the Battle of Jutland ; was in dock at the time .

Of the four ships that took part in the battle , only Kaiser was damaged , being struck by two heavy - caliber shells .

The ships also took part in Operation Albion in the Baltic Sea ; during the operation they were reorganized as the IV Battle Squadron , under the command of Vice Admiral Wilhelm Souchon .

At the end of the war , all five ships were interned at the British naval base in Scapa Flow .

On 21 June 1919 , they were scuttled to prevent their seizure by the Royal Navy .

The ships were subsequently raised and broken up for scrap between 1929 and 1937 .


Chapter VIII of the United Nations Charter deals with regional arrangements .

It authorizes regional organizations ( such as the African Union ) and even requires attempts to resolve disputes through such agencies ( if available ) prior to intervention by the UN Security Council .

However , Article 53 provides that " no enforcement action shall be taken under regional arrangements or by regional agencies without the authorization of the Security Council . "

Chapter VIII makes reference to enemy states , which were powers such as Japan and Germany that remained enemies of the UN signatories at the time of the promulgation of the UN Charter ( in the closing months of World War II in mid-1945 ) .

There have been proposals to remove these references , but none have come to fruition .

Chapter VIII is analogous to Article 21 of the Covenant of the League of Nations , which provides , " Nothing in this Covenant shall be deemed to affect the validity of international engagements , such as treaties of arbitration or regional understandings like the Monroe doctrine , for securing the maintenance of peace . "

In total 173 Norwegians , 6 British and 15 Soviet citizens were executed in Trandumskogen .

Many had been sentenced to death by the German occupation forces , but there was also a great number who were subject to arbitrary executions .

After the Second World War , Norwegian citizens sentenced for treason , and leading members of the Norwegian national socialist party Nasjonal Samling were forced to open the graves and exhume the bodies of the executed prisoners .

Fossò

Fossò is a town and comune in the province of Venice , Veneto , Italy .

The town of Fossò is located in a fertile plain in the territory of the Riviera del Brenta , between Padua and Venice .

The name may be derived from the Latin " Fossadum " , a ditch , with reference probably to a minor line of river Brenta .

An old sale contract shows that this town was existing at least since 1073 onwards with the consequent assumption that a church was already built here , though we must wait until 1130 to find the first sure mention of the existence of a chapel dedicated to St. Bartholomew , in a letter of the bishop of Padua .

In 1761 a new church was dedicated to St. Bartholomew to replace the previous one .

In 1797 Napoleon Bonaparte arrived in Italy and with the Treaty of Campo Formio the glorious Republic of Venice ends forever .

Under the role of the Napoleonic Kingdom of Italy , the municipalities of Fossò and Sandon are created in 1806 and assigned first to the current Province of Padua and then to the current Province of Venice , the year later .

After World War II , Fossò had a good economic development , with the consequent urban expansion and substantial growth of the population , so that in 1957 it was necessary to build a new larger church .

Nowadays , either the new and the old church , both dedicated to St. Bartholomew , are standing one opposite to the other on the main square of Fossò .

The economical development transformed the town , once mostly agricultural , into a purely industrial and commercial place .

DARPA Agent Markup Language

The DARPA Agent Markup Language ( DAML ) was the name of a US funding program at the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency ( DARPA ) started in 1999 by then - Program Manager James Hendler , and later run by Murray Burke , Mark Greaves and Michael Pagels .

The program focused on the creation of machine - readable representations for the Web .

One of the Investigators working on the program was Tim Berners - Lee and to a great degree through his influence , working with the program managers , the effort worked to create technologies and demonstrations for what is now called the Semantic Web and this in turn led to the growth of Knowledge Graph technology .

A primary outcome of the DAML program was the DAML language , an agent markup language based on RDF .

This language was then followed by an extension entitled DAML+OIL which included researchers outside of the DARPA program in the design .

The 2002 submission of the DAML+OIL language to the World Wide Web Consortium ( W3C ) captures the work done by DAML contractors and the EU / U.S.

ad hoc Joint Committee on Markup Languages .

This submission was the starting point for the language ( later called OWL ) to be developed by W3C 's web ontology working group , WebOnt .

DAML+OIL was a syntax , layered on RDF and XML , that could be used to describe sets of facts making up an ontology .

DAML+OIL had its roots in three main languages - DAML , as described above , OIL ( Ontology Inference Layer ) and SHOE , an earlier US research project .

A major innovation of the languages was to use RDF and XML for a basis , and to use RDF namespaces to organize and assist with the integration of arbitrarily many different and incompatible ontologies .

Articulation ontologies can link these competing ontologies through codification of analogous subsets in a neutral point of view , as is done in the Wikipedia .

Current ontology research derived in part from DAML is leading toward the expression of ontologies and rules for reasoning and action .

Much of the work in DAML has now been incorporated into RDF Schema , the OWL and their successor languages and technologies including schema.org


De Legibus

The De Legibus ( On the Laws ) is a dialogue written by Marcus Tullius Cicero during the last years of the Roman Republic .

It bears the same name as Plato ’s famous dialogue , The Laws .

Unlike his previous work de re publica , in which Cicero felt compelled to set the action in the times of Scipio Africanus Minor , Cicero wrote this work as a fictionalized dialogue between himself , his brother Quintus and their mutual friend Titus Pomponius Atticus .

The dialogue begins with the trio taking a leisurely stroll through Cicero 's familial estate at Arpinum and they begin to discuss how the laws should be .

Cicero uses this as a platform for expounding on his theories of natural law of harmony among the classes .

The three remaining books ( out of an indeterminate number , although Jonathan Powell and Niall Rudd in their translation for Oxford seem to argue that it may have been six , to bring it in line with the number in de re publica ) , in order , expound on Cicero 's beliefs in Natural Law , recasts the religious laws of Rome ( in reality a rollback to the religious laws under the king Numa Pompilius ) and finally talk of his proposed reforms to the Roman Constitution .

Whether or not the work was meant as an earnest plan of action is unknown .

Cicero 's basic conservative and traditionalist beliefs led him to imagine an idealized Rome before the Gracchi , with the classes still in harmony .

From there , he reformed the worst points of the Roman constitution , while keeping the majority of it .

Cicero 's proposed constitution in Book Three must be seen as a renovation of the existing order , not a call to shatter the order and build anew .

However , less than a decade after the accepted date for his beginning the manuscript , Julius Caesar crossed the Rubicon , launching the civil war that would end the Republic .


Wakusei Robo Danguard Ace

, also known as Force Five : Dangard Ace in the United States , is a Japanese science fiction anime series created by Leiji Matsumoto with Dan Kobayashi .

This series gained a cult following on the Showtime network during the 1980s .

The titular robot also appeared in Marvel Comics ' Shogun Warriors series , as well as in the eponymous toy line .

In 2009 , William Winckler Productions produced three all - new English dubbed movie versions edited from the original series .

Winckler , known for Tekkaman the Space Knight , wrote , produced and directed these films , which have been seen on broadband in Japan .

Dangard Ace is Matsumoto 's only contribution to Japan 's ubiquitous giant robot genre .

Herman VI, Margrave of Baden

Herman VI ( c. 1226 – 4 October 1250 ) was Margrave of Baden and titular margrave of Verona from 1243 until his death .

A descendant of the Swabian House of Zähringen , he was the son of Margrave Herman V and Irmengard , daughter of Count Palatine Henry V of the Rhine .

He succeeded his father in Baden on 16 January 1243 .

In 1248 , he married Gertrude of Austria , the niece of the last male member of the Babenberg dynasty , Duke Frederick II of Austria ( 1230 – 1246 ) , and on the basis of that marriage claimed the duchies of Austria and Styria , leaving the rule over Baden to his younger brother Rudolf .

However , he had a mighty rival in King Ottokar II of Bohemia , who in 1252 married Frederick 's sister Margaret to legitimize his claims .

According to the Privilegium Minus issued by Emperor Frederick Barbarossa in 1156 , the Austrian lands could be bequeathed in the female line , and Herman even obtained the explicit consent by Pope Innocent IV .

Nevertheless , the margrave and his son Frederick could not establish themselves in Austria and Styria against the resistance of the local nobility , who preferred Ottokar .

Both rivals finally did not prevail , as the duchies were seized as reverted fiefs by the Habsburg king Rudolph I of Germany after Ottokar 's death at the Battle on the Marchfeld in 1278 .

Hauka

The Hauka movement was a religious movement which arose in French Colonial Africa .

It consisted of ceremonies , including mimicry and dancing , in which the participants performed the elaborate military ceremonies of their colonial occupiers .

It was depicted in Les Maîtres Fous ( The Mad Masters – 1955 ) , a short film directed by Jean Rouch , a well - known French film director and ethnologist .

According to some anthropologists , the movement was a form of resistance that began in Niger , but spread to other parts of Africa .

According to some anthropologists , this pageant , though historic , was largely done to mock their authority by stealing their powers .

Hauka members were not trying to emulate Europeans , but were trying to extract their life force .

This stance has been heavily criticized by anthropologist James G. Ferguson , who finds this imitation not about importing colonialism into indigenous culture , but as a way to gain rights and status in the colonial society .

The adoption of European customs was not a form of resistance , but to be “ respected by the Europeans . ”

Permanent representative

A permanent representative is a diplomat who is the head of a country ’s diplomatic mission to an international organisation .

Organizations that receive permanent representatives from their member states include the United Nations , the World Trade Organization , NATO , the European Union , the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation , and the Organization of American States .

Permanent representatives can be sent to subunits or field offices of an organization .

For example , in addition to the permanent representatives sent to the United Nations headquarters in New York City , UN member states also appoint permanent representatives to other UN offices , such as those in Geneva , Nairobi , and Vienna .

Permanent representatives are often informally described as ambassadors .

However , although a permanent representative typically holds the diplomatic rank of an ambassador , because he or she is accredited to an international organisation the official title is permanent representative .

For example , the United States Ambassador to the United Nations is technically called the Permanent Representative to the UN , even though he or she is widely referred to as an ambassador .

Diplomatic representatives of the Pope are titled apostolic nuncio or papal nuncio , which is equivalent to permanent representative .

Some international organizations , such as UNESCO , use the title permanent delegate to refer to the head of a diplomatic mission accredited to them .

Wanna Be a Star

Wanna Be a Star is the ninth album by the Canadian rock band Chilliwack , released in September 1981 .

At this point , the band had collapsed into a trio , without a full - time drummer , but leader Bill Henderson and guitarist / keyboardist / drummer Brian MacLeod had become a powerful songwriting team during the interim .

The single release " My Girl ( Gone , Gone , Gone ) " became the group 's first hit since the 1979 collapse of their former label Mushroom Records , reaching # 1 in Canada and giving Chilliwack their U.S. Top 40 breakthrough peaking at # 22 on the Billboard Hot 100 : " My Girl ( Gone , Gone , Gone ) " also gave Chilliwack their only evident chart item outside North America reaching # 57 in Australia with a disproportionately long chart run of 28 weeks .

The success of " My Girl ( Gone , Gone , Gone ) " led to a touring version of Chilliwack re - forming .

The album 's second single : " I Believe " , released in early 1982 , was also a Top 10 Canadian hit and returned Chilliwack to the U.S. Top 40 at # 33 .

Overall the album is something of a concept album about the " rock and roll " lifestyle and the pursuit of fame .

The leadoff track " Sign Here " is a reference to Chilliwack 's new quest for mainstream success , tempered by their brush with fame on Mushroom .

This was the first album they recorded with Solid Gold Records in Canada , a new Toronto - based label .


Battle of Ager Falernus

The Battle of Ager Falernus ( or the Battle of the Falernian Territory ) was a skirmish during the Second Punic War between the armies of Rome and Carthage .

After winning the Battle of Lake Trasimene in Italy in 217 BC , the army commanded by Hannibal marched south and reached Campania .

The Carthaginians ultimately moved into the district of Falernum , a fertile river valley surrounded by mountains .

Quintus Fabius Maximus Verrucosus , who had been elected Roman dictator and commander of the Roman field forces after the disastrous defeat at Trasimene , had dogged Hannibal and stuck to a strategy to fight only under favourable conditions ( Fabian Strategy ) .

He now occupied all the river crossings and mountain passes leading out of the valley , thus blocking the Carthaginians inside .
