On 5 December , Salaria 's battalion was tasked to clear a roadblock of two armoured cars manned by 150 gendarmes of the secessionist State of Katanga on the way to the Elizabethville Airport .

The plan was that Salaria and his men were to block their retreat .

His rocket launcher team attacked and destroyed the Katangese armoured cars .

This unforeseen move confused the gendarmerie , and Salaria felt it would be best to attack before they reorganised .

During the attack , Salaria was shot twice in the neck and eventually succumbed to his injuries .

The remaining gendarmes fled in utter confusion leaving their dead and wounded behind .

Ninlil

In Sumerian religion , Ninlil ( 𒀭𒊩𒌆𒆤 NIN.LÍL"lady of the open field " or " Lady of the Wind " ) , also called Sud , in Assyrian called Mulliltu , is the consort goddess of Enlil .

Most commonly she is called the daughter of Haia ( god of stores ) and Nunbarsegunu ( or Ninshebargunnu [ a goddess of barley ] or Nisaba ) .

Another Akkadian source says she is the daughter of Anu ( a.k.a .

Other sources call her a daughter of Anu and Nammu .

Impregnated by her husband Enlil , who lie with her by the water , she conceived a boy , Nanna / Suen , the future moon god .

As punishment Enlil was dispatched to the underworld kingdom of Ereshkigal , where Ninlil joined him .

Enlil impregnated her disguised as the gatekeeper , where upon she gave birth to their son Nergal , god of death .

In a similar manner she conceived the underworld god Ninazu when Enlil impregnated her disguised as the man of the river of the nether world , a man - devouring river .

Later Enlil disguised himself as the man of the boat , impregnating her with a fourth deity Enbilulu , god of rivers and canals .

All of these act as substitutes for Nanna / Suen to ascend .

In some texts Ninlil is also the mother of Ninurta , the heroic god who slew Asag the demon with his mace , Sharur .

After her death , she became the goddess of the wind , like Enlil .

She may be the Goddess of the South Wind referred to in the story of Adapa , as her husband Enlil was associated with northerly winter storms .

As " Lady Wind " she may be associated with the figure of the Akkadian demon " Lil - itu " , thought to have been the origin of the Hebrew Lilith legend .

Sticky bomb

grenade or sticky bomb , was a British hand grenade designed and produced during the Second World War .

The grenade was one of a number of anti - tank weapons developed for use by the British Army and Home Guard as an ad hoc solution to a lack of sufficient anti - tank guns in the aftermath of the Dunkirk evacuation .

Designed by a team from MIR(c ) including Major Millis Jefferis and Stuart Macrae , the grenade consisted of a glass sphere containing an explosive made of nitroglycerin and additives ( this added stability to the mix , as well as giving it its squash - head - like effect ) covered in a strong adhesive and surrounded by a sheet - metal casing .

When the user pulled a pin on the handle of the grenade , the casing would fall away and expose the sticky sphere .

Pulling another pin would arm the firing mechanism and the user would then attempt to attach the grenade to an enemy tank or other vehicle .

Letting go of the handle would release a lever that would activate a five - second fuse , which would then detonate the nitroglycerin .

The grenade had several faults with its design .

In tests , it failed to adhere to dusty or muddy tanks and , if the user was not careful after freeing the grenade from its casing , it could easily stick to his uniform .

The Ordnance Board of the War Department did not approve the grenade for use by the British Army , but personal intervention by the prime minister , Winston Churchill , led to the grenade going into production .

Between 1940 and 1943 , approximately 2.5 million were produced .

It was primarily issued to the Home Guard , but was also used by British and Commonwealth forces in North Africa , accounting for six German tanks ; used by Allied Forces on the Anzio Beachhead , including the First Special Service Force ; as well as by Australian Army units during the New Guinea campaign .

The French Resistance were also issued a quantity of the grenades .

Captain (baseball)

In baseball , a captain is an honorary title sometimes given to a member of the team to acknowledge his leadership .

In the early days of baseball , a captain was a player who was responsible for many of the functions now assumed by managers and coaches , such as preparing lineups , making decisions about strategy , and encouraging teamwork .

In amateur or youth baseball , a manager or coach may appoint a team captain to assist in communicating with the players and to encourage teamwork and improvement .

Major League Baseball 's official rules only briefly mention the position of team captain .

Official Baseball Rule 4.03 Comment ( formerly Rule 4.01 Comment ) which discusses the submission of a team 's lineup to the umpire , notes that obvious errors in the lineup should be brought to the attention of the team 's manager or captain .

In Major League Baseball , only a handful of teams have designated a player as captain in recent years .

Jerry Remy , who was named as captain of the California Angels in 1977 at age 24 , explains that in today 's modern age of baseball , " there 's probably no need for a captain on a major league team .

I think there are guys who lead by example .

You could name the best player on your team as captain , but he may not be the guy other players will talk to or who will quietly go to other players and give them a prod . "

With the recent retirement of Mets captain David Wright , third baseman Adrian Beltre of Texas Rangers is currently the only captain of any Major League Baseball team .

They do not wear an NHL - style " C " on their jersey .

Retired first baseman Mike Sweeney , former captain of the Kansas City Royals from 2003 to 2007 , wore the " C " patch , as did two other recently retired captains : John Franco of the Mets , and Jason Varitek of the Boston Red Sox .

Weißkamm

The heavily glaciated Weißkamm is an Alpine chain that includes the Weißkugel ( ) and Wildspitze ( ) , the two highest peaks in the Ötztal Alps .

Starting from the Weißkugel the Weißkamm runs for about 20 kilometres to the northwest towards Sölden .

Other ridges branch off the Weißkamm striking northwards .

From west to east these are the Glockturmkamm , the Kaunergrat and the Geigenkamm .

The Weißkugel is where the Weißkamm joins the Schnalskamm , which runs in an easterly direction .

The Gepatschferner and the Mittelbergferner are the two largest glaciers in the Ötztal Alps ; both are situated in the area of the Weißkamm .

Together with the Kesselwandferner , Vernagtferner and Taschachferner they form an almost unbroken ice sheet .

Proteus (video game)

Proteus is a 2013 exploration and walking simulator video game created and designed by Ed Key and David Kanaga for Microsoft Windows , OS X , Linux , PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita .

It allows the player to freely explore a procedurally - generated environment , without predetermined goals .

The world 's flora and fauna emit unique musical signatures , combinations of which cause dynamic shifts in audio , based on the player 's surroundings .

The game began development in 2008 under game designer Ed Key , joined by audio designer and composer David Kanaga in 2010 .

Key first conceived Proteus as an open - ended role - playing game akin to ; but , because of the work required for such a project , the team redesigned it to be " nontraditional and nonviolent " .

The PlayStation 3 and Vita versions of Proteus were developed by Curve Studios , whose team added extra features to the Vita edition at Sony 's behest .

Proteus won the prize for Best Audio at the 2011 Indiecade awards , and it was a finalist for the 2012 Independent Games Festival 's Nuovo Award .

Its original and PlayStation releases were well received by critics , who praised the use of audio .

However , certain reviewers disliked the game 's brevity and limited replayability .

Como

Como ( , ; , or ; ) is a city and comune in Lombardy , Italy .

It is the administrative capital of the Province of Como .

Australian Fabian Society

The Australian Fabians ( also known as the Australian Fabian Society ) was established in 1947 .

Inspired by the Fabian Society in the United Kingdom , it is dedicated to Fabianism , the focus on the advancement of socialist ideas through gradual influence and patiently promoting socialist ideals to intellectual circles and groups with power .

An earlier experiment with Fabianism in Australia was initiated in Adelaide in 1891 by the Rev Charles Marson , who had joined the Fabians in London in 1885 and drew in trade unionists like David Charleston , Robert Guthrie and John McPherson as well as social reformers like James & Lucy Morice into the first overseas branch of the UK Fabian Society .

The Australian members retained their membership for ten years until the Adelaide branch was wound up in 1902 .

The Australian Fabians have historically had close ties with the Australian Labor Party ( ALP ) .

This is evidenced by the number of past ALP prime ministers , federal ministers and state premiers who were active members of the Australian Fabians while in office .

The role of patron of the Australian Fabians is filled by media and Social Commentator and progressive thinker , Eva Cox , but was previously filled by former Australian prime minister , the late Gough Whitlam .

This is a temporary arrangement and the position will be filled when an appropriate person to fund and uphold the society 's values is found .

The Australian Fabians have had a significant influence on public policy development in Australia since the Second World War , with many of its members having held influential political offices in Australian governments .


Three Forms

Three Forms ( BH 72 ) is an abstract sculpture by Barbara Hepworth , completed in 1935 .

The sculpture was one of the first works completed by Hepworth after the birth of her triplets with Ben Nicholson in October 1934 .

It marks a point of departure in her style : her earlier abstract works are based on the human form , but Three Forms is more purely abstract , reduced to simple geometric shapes with little colour .

Her subsequent work continued in a more formal , abstract and non - representational vein .

Hepworth wrote in 1952 that she became " absorbed in the relationships in space , in size and texture and weight , as well as the tensions between forms " .

The work consists of three rounded elements positioned on a flat rectangular base , all in polished Seravezza marble ( largely white , but small brown marks , grey flecks , and pale grey graining are visible on close inspection ) .

Each element has a precise shape and size , and they are arranged in a similarly precise triangular relationship .

The original base has been replaced , but the spatial arrangement of each element remains the same , with a spherical element placed at a distance from two larger and elongated oval forms , the smaller of which lies flat and the larger of which rests on its long edge , both aligned with the longer edge of the rectangular base .

The diameter of the sphere reflects one of the dimensions of both larger elements , each of which also shares a dimension of ( 1.5 times as large ) .

The medium spheroid measures and the larger one is .

Each object was shaped by hand and so is slightly imperfect .

The choice of three forms - two alike and one different - may be connected with the birth of Hepworth 's triplets - two girls and one boy .

The abstract sculpture in a pure white recalls the contemporary architecture of Le Corbusier , and may also have been inspired by Hepworth 's visits to the studios of Brancusi and Arp on a visit to France with Nicholson in 1932 .

Hepworth later accepted criticism from physicist John Desmond Bernal that the elements are all positively curved , and suggested that the work could have been improved by the sphere being replaced by a cylinder .

It was exhibited at the " 7&5 " exhibition in 1935 and the " Abstract and Concrete Art " exhibition in 1936 .

It was bought from Hepworth by Mr and Mrs J.R. Marcus Brumwell in late 1935 , who donated it to the Tate Gallery in 1964 .

Solidago spithamaea

Solidago spithamaea is a species of flowering plant in the aster family known by the common name Blue Ridge goldenrod .

It is native to a very small region around the border between North Carolina and Tennessee in the United States .

Its three remaining populations are threatened by the loss and degradation of its habitat .

It is a federally listed threatened species of the United States .

Solidago spithamaea produces one or more stems from an underground rhizome and caudex , and it grows 10 to 40 centimeters ( 4 - 14 inches ) tall .

The leaves vary in shape and size , the ones higher on the stem becoming smaller .

The inflorescence is a compact or spreading array of 15 to 50 or more flower heads .

Each head has a bell - shaped base about half a centimeter ( 0.2 inches ) long which is lined with phyllaries with pointed , darkened tips .

The head contains 8 - 15 yellow ray florets just a few millimeters long , surrounding 20 - 60 disc florets .

The fruit is an achene with a pappus of bristles .

Solidago spithamaea grows on the high summits of the Blue Ridge Mountains in western North Carolina and eastern Tennessee .

There is one population each in Avery and Mitchell Counties in North Carolina and Carter County , Tennessee , a region measuring about 15 square miles ( 38 km ) .

It can be found on Grandfather Mountain , Hanging Rock , and Roan Mountain .

It grows on rocky peaks , cliffs , and slopes covered in talus .

The habitat is mostly barren and exposed to full sun and harsh winter weather .

This is one of several goldenrods that are relict species , plants that were more common when conditions were colder and wetter .

As glaciers receded , the area became warmer and drier , and plants such as this goldenrod were left in areas that most resemble the alpine climate to which it was adapted .

It now persists in the high mountain peaks that have the harshest winter conditions .

Few of the relict goldenrods remain as far south as this one .

Other plants in this barren habitat include mainly grasses and sedges , but there are some other rare mountain herbs and trees including Heller 's blazingstar ( Liatris helleri ) , red spruce ( Picea rubens ) , cliff avens ( Geum radiatum ) , sandmyrtle ( Kalmia buxifolia ) .

The very habitat where the plant persists is an area popular for hiking and sightseeing , and much of it has been converted to roads , trails , parking lots , and other utilities .

Remaining habitat is vulnerable to trampling .

Other threats include acid precipitation and climate change .


Hans Meiser (bishop)

Hans Meiser ( 16 February 1881 , Nuremberg - 8 June 1956 , Munich ) was a German Protestant theologian , pastor and from 1933 to 1955 the first ' Landesbischof ' of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Bavaria .

Today Meiser 's political stance between 1933 and 1945 is intensely studied and debated within the parameters of Germany 's Culture of Remembrance .

In his unsuccessful attempt to maintain his ' landeskirche ' and its independence he decided to make several compromises with the Nazi state .

His attitude towards Judaism is also controversial in light of studies of the Shoah .

Theologically , Meiser was in the tradition of Wilhelm Loehe , supporting a single church with a single clear Lutheran confessional identity .

Unlike other Bavarian theology professors such as Werner Elert , Paul Althaus and Hermann Sasse , Meiser explicitly recognized the Barmen Theological Declaration and engaged with the links it brought to Unitarians and the Reformed Church .

His confessional orientation aligned him with Theophil Wurm and divided him from Martin Niemöller .


Development of Overwatch

Overwatch is a team - based first - person shooter developed by Blizzard Entertainment and released for Microsoft Windows , PlayStation 4 , and Xbox One in June 2016 .

The game , while having several different play modes , generally features two teams of six players each , selecting pre - made heroes from the game 's roster , to either attack or defend various objective points on the game 's maps .

The game supports causal game modes as well as ranked competitive play .

Since release , Overwatch has been both critically and financially successful , with a player base of 35 million players as of October 2017 .

The development of Overwatch started in the fallout following Blizzard 's decision to cancel continued development of the massively multiplayer online role - playing game Titan around 2013 .

After most of the rest of the team was transferred to other projects , the remaining team members , led by director Jeff Kaplan , came up with the concept of a team - based shooter that borrowed elements from other online shooters like Team Fortress 2 and multiplayer online battle arenas .

Many of Overwatchs early assets were borrowed from Titan to obtain a proof - of - concept to greenlight further development .

The consequences of Titans cancellation also led into creating a narrative of an optimistic near - future setting for the game , taking place some decades after the formation of the peacekeeping Overwatch team , created in response to a robotic uprising known as the Omnic War .

Since release , the Overwatch developments continue to produce more content , released free for all , for the title , including new hero characters , maps , game modes , seasonal events , customization options for the characters , and external media such as digital comics and shorts to help support the narrative and character 's backstories .

Blizzard has also made changes to make Overwatch more compatible for professional eSports , including support for its Overwatch League that started its first season in January 2018 .

Truthiness

Truthiness is the belief or assertion that a particular statement is true based on the intuition or perceptions of some individual or individuals , without regard to evidence , logic , intellectual examination , or facts .

Truthiness can range from ignorant assertions of falsehoods to deliberate duplicity or propaganda intended to sway opinions .

The concept of truthiness has emerged as a major subject of discussion surrounding U.S. politics during the 1990s and 2000s because of the perception among some observers of a rise in propaganda and a growing hostility toward factual reporting and fact - based discussion .

American television comedian Stephen Colbert coined the term truthiness in this meaning as the subject of a segment called " The Wørd " during the pilot episode of his political satire program The Colbert Report on October 17 , 2005 .

By using this as part of his routine , Colbert satirized the misuse of appeal to emotion and " gut feeling " as a rhetorical device in contemporaneous socio - political discourse .

He particularly applied it to U.S. President George W. Bush 's nomination of Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court and the decision to invade Iraq in 2003 .

Colbert later ascribed truthiness to other institutions and organizations , including Wikipedia .

Colbert has sometimes used a Dog Latin version of the term , " Veritasiness " .

For example , in Colbert 's " Operation Iraqi Stephen : Going Commando " the word " Veritasiness " can be seen on the banner above the eagle on the operation 's seal .

Truthiness was named Word of the Year for 2005 by the American Dialect Society and for 2006 by Merriam - Webster .

Linguist and OED consultant Benjamin Zimmer pointed out that the word truthiness already had a history in literature and appears in the Oxford English Dictionary ( OED ) , as a derivation of truthy , and The Century Dictionary , both of which indicate it as rare or dialectal , and to be defined more straightforwardly as " truthfulness , faithfulness " .

Responding to claims by Michael Adams that the word already existed with a different meaning , Colbert said , " Truthiness is a word I pulled right out of my keister " .


Romanization of Serbian

The romanization of Serbian or latinization of Serbian is the representation of the Serbian language using Latin letters .

Serbian is written in two alphabets , the Serbian Cyrillic alphabet , a variation of Cyrillic and the Serbian Latin alphabet , a variation of the Latin alphabet .

The Serbian language is an example of Digraphia .

However , Gaj 's Latin alphabet is also very widely used in Serbia as the second alphabet .

The two are almost directly and completely interchangeable .

Romanization can be done with no errors , but in some cases knowledge of Serbian is required to do proper transliteration from Latin back to Cyrillic .

Standard Serbian uses both alphabets currently .

A survey from 2014 showed that 47 % of the Serbian population favors the Latin alphabet whereas 36 % favors the Cyrillic one .

Apart from Serbian , Gaj 's Latin alphabet is also used in Bosnian and Croatian standards of Serbo - Croatian .

Another standard of Serbo - Croatian , Montenegrin , uses a slightly modified version of it .

Bacsó later continued to make mostly political and satirical films , for a wider audience .

He made various genre films , trying his hand in musicals , comedies , etc .

Religion in Iceland

Religion in Iceland has been predominantly Christian since its adoption as the state religion by the Althing under the influence of Olaf Tryggvason , the king of Norway , in 999/1000 CE .

Before that , between the 9th and 10th century , the prevailing religion among the early Icelanders ( mostly Norwegian settlers fleeing Harald Fairhair 's monarchical centralisation in 872–930 ) was the northern Germanic religion , which persisted for centuries even after the official Christianisation of the state .

Starting in the 1530s , Iceland , originally Catholic and under the Danish crown , formally switched to Lutheranism with the Icelandic Reformation , which culminated in 1550 .

The Lutheran Church of Iceland has remained since then the country 's state church .

Freedom of religion has been granted to the Icelanders since 1874 .

The Church of Iceland is supported by the government , but all registered religions receive support from a church tax ( sóknargjald ) paid by taxpayers over the age of sixteen .

Since the late 20th century , and especially the early 21st century , religious life in Iceland has become more diverse , with a decline of Christianity , the rise of unaffiliated people , and the emergence of new religions , notably Heathenry , in Iceland also called Ásatrú , which seeks to reconstruct the Germanic folk religion .

A large part of the population remain members of the Church of Iceland , but are actually irreligious and atheists , as demonstrated by demoscopic analyses .

They were coordinated and performed by the Australian satire group The Chaser for the television series The Chaser 's War on Everything .

Julian Morrow directed a fake Canadian motorcade , which was allowed through the restricted zone by police and not detected until Chas Licciardello alighted , dressed as Osama bin Laden .

Although pranks that involved public locations , figures , and organisations were always a feature of the series , the APEC pranks yielded unprecedented local and international publicity , both positive and negative .

Some team members faced charges for breaching the APEC zone , but these were dropped because police had allowed their entry into the restricted zone .

Other less controversial and less publicised stunts were also shown on The Chaser 's War on Everything , with ratings peaking at almost three million Australian viewers for the APEC wrap - up episode .
