Penychen was one of three cantrefs that made up the kingdom of Glywysing lying between the rivers Taff and Thaw , the other two being Gwynllwg and Gorfynydd .

The cantrefi were created on the death of Glywys ( c.480 AD ) , the first king of Glywysing , when the kingdom was divided between three of his sons , Pawl , Gwynllyw and Mechwyn .

Pawl was the ruler of Penychen and on his death ( c.540 AD ) passed the cantref onto his nephew .

Pawl 's brother Gwynllyw was the ruler of Gwynllwg and upon his death the cantref passed to his son Cadoc ( Cadwg ) , also known as St. Cadoc .

Chih-Kung Jen

Chih - Kung Jen (; August 15 or October 2 , 1906 – November 19 , 1995 ) was a Chinese physicist who emigrated to the U.S. and participated in some of the 20th century 's major scientific , political and social developments in both the United States and China .

Born in a mud house in a remote and largely illiterate village in China , he was awarded a scholarship funded as a result of the Boxer Rebellion of the late 19th century to attend Beijing 's prestigious Tsinghua University .

As part of that scholarship , he came to the U.S. in 1926 to study electrical engineering and physics at MIT .

He completed his graduate studies first at the University of Pennsylvania , and then in physics at Harvard University .

Jen was among the first to provide experimental proof of the existence of the ionosphere .

In addition , he obtained the first theoretically calculated value for the electron affinity spectrum of the hydrogen atom , a problem of fundamental significance in quantum mechanics and astrophysics .

In 1937 , Jen returned to China , and subsequently joined in the " Academic Long March " to set up a wartime refugee university ( the National Southwestern Associated University ) in Kunming .

His wartime teaching and research contributed to the training of what would become the nucleus of the present - day Chinese scientific intelligentsia .

After the war , Jen returned to the Physics Department at Harvard , and eventually settled at the Applied Physics Laboratory at Johns Hopkins University to carry on pioneering research in trapping free radicals and other topics in microwave spectroscopy .

In 1972 , following Richard Nixon 's visit to China , Jen led a ground - breaking delegation of Chinese American scientists to that country .

The delegation conferred with Premier Zhou Enlai , and initiated what was to become a steady stream of scientific exchanges between the U.S. and China .

Jen subsequently made numerous visits to China .

He continued to work on strengthening U.S .- China scientific relations , and in addition was a leader in improving scientific education in Chinese universities .

Legend of Billy the Kid

The legend of Billy the Kid has acquired iconic status in American folklore , yet the outlaw himself , also known as William Bonney , had minimal impact on historical events in New Mexico Territory of the late 1800s .

More has been written about Billy the Kid than any other gunslinger in the history of the American West , while hundreds of books , motion pictures , radio and television programs and even a ballet have been inspired by his legend .

When he was still alive , " Billy the Kid " had already become a nationally known figure whose exploits , real and imaginary , were reported in the National Police Gazette and the large newspapers of the eastern United States .

After his death on July 14 , 1881 , all of New York City 's papers ran his obituary , and within days , newspapers around the United States were printing exaggerated and romanticized accounts of Billy the Kid 's short career .

In the fifteen or so dime novels about his criminal career published between 1881 and 1906 , the Kid was an outlaw antihero , customarily depicted as a badman with superior gunslinging skills , or even as a demonic agent of Satan who delighted in murder .


Zayed National Museum

Zayed National Museum ( Arabic : متحف زايد الوطني ) is a planned museum , to be located in Abu Dhabi , UAE .

According to The New York Times , the British Museum thinks that it is unlikely that any items will be loaned under the current contract , which ends in 2019 .


Michael Wolgemut

Michael Wolgemut ( formerly spelt Wohlgemuth ; 1434 – 30 November 1519 ) was a German painter and printmaker , who ran a workshop in Nuremberg .

He is best known as having taught the young Albrecht Dürer .

The importance of Wolgemut as an artist rests not only on his own individual works , but also on the fact that he was the head of a large workshop , in which many different branches of the fine arts were carried on by a great number of pupil - assistants , including Albrecht Dürer , who completed an apprenticeship with him between 1486 - 9 .

In his atelier large altar - pieces and other sacred paintings were executed , and also elaborate carved painted wood retables , consisting of crowded subjects in high relief , richly decorated with gold and colour .

Wolgemut was a leader among the artists reviving the standards of German woodcut at this time .

The production of woodcuts was a large part of the work of the workshop , the blocks being cut from Wolgemut 's designs .

They were mostly made to supply the many publishers in Nuremberg with book illustrations , with the most attractive also being sold separately .

Wolgemut 's woodcuts followed the advances in engraving , depicting volume and shading to a much greater extent than before .

Many are remarkable for their vigour and clever adaptation to the special necessities of the technique of woodcut .

Nonetheless , they were very often hand - coloured before or after sale .

His pupil Dürer was to build on and to so surpass his achievement that it is often overlooked .

Wolgemut 's paintings show Flemish influence , and he may have traveled within Flanders ( modern Belgium and surrounding areas ) .

Ealhhelm ( floruit 940 – 955 ) was an Anglo - Saxon nobleman and ealdorman in Mercia of West Saxon origins .

It was in the reign of Edmund , circa 940 , that Ealhhelm was appointed as an ealdorman .

He shared authority in Mercia with others , including Æthelstan Rota , Æthelmund , and another Æthelstan .

The division is presumed to have been on a geographical basis .

Ealhhelm and his family appear to have been connected with south - western Mercia , the former kingdom of the Hwicce , which corresponded approximately with the boundaries of the diocese of Worcester .

Ealhhelm may have held the lands formerly belonging to Evesham Abbey as these are said to have been seized by one Alchelmus in the time of King Edmund .

A kinsman of Ealhhelm named Wulfric — probably the father of Ealhhelm 's daughter - in - law — who later received part of the Evesham lands , may be identified with the brother of Saint Dunstan .

Ealhhelm ceases to sign charters around 951 in the reign of King Eadred .

Ælfhere and Ælfheah , the sons of Ealhhelm , were ealdormen and significant figures later in the 10th century .

Ealdorman Ælfric Cild was his son - in - law .

Religion in pre-Islamic Arabia

Religion in pre - Islamic Arabia was a mix of polytheism , Christianity , Judaism , and Iranian religions .

Arab polytheism , the dominant form of religion in pre - Islamic Arabia , was based on veneration of deities and other rituals .

Gods and goddesses , including Hubal and the goddesses al - Lāt , Al-‘Uzzá and Manāt , were worshipped at local shrines such as the Kaaba in Mecca .

Different theories have been proposed regarding the role of Allah in Meccan religion .

Many of the physical descriptions of the pre - Islamic gods are traced to idols , especially near the Kaaba , which is said to have contained up to 360 of them .

Other religions were represented to varying , lesser degrees .

The influence of the adjacent Roman , Aksumite and Sasanian Empires resulted in Christian communities in the northwest , northeast and south of Arabia .

Christianity made a lesser impact , but secured some conversions , in the remainder of the peninsula .

With the exception of Nestorianism in the northeast and the Persian Gulf , the dominant form of Christianity was Miaphysitism .

The peninsula had been a destination for Jewish migration since Roman times , which had resulted in a diaspora community supplemented by local converts .

Additionally , the influence of the Sasanian Empire resulted in Iranian religions being present in the peninsula .

Zoroastrianism existed in the east and south , while there is evidence of Manichaeism or possibly Mazdakism being practised in Mecca .

List of rulers of Brandenburg

This article lists the Margraves and Electors of Brandenburg during the period of time that Brandenburg was a constituent state of the Holy Roman Empire .

The jet follows the same path as the northeast trade winds in this region ; however , due to a unique combination of synoptic scale meteorology and orographic phenomena , the jet winds can reach much greater speeds than their trade wind counterparts .

That is to say , the winds occur when cold high - pressure systems from the North American continent meet warm moist air over the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico , generating winds that are then funneled through a mountain pass in the Cordillera .

The Papagayo jet is also not unique to this region .

There are two other breaks in the Cordillera where this same phenomenon occurs , one at the Chivela Pass in México and another at the Panama Canal , producing the Tehuano ( Tehuantepecer ) and the Panama jets respectively .

The Papagayo jet also induces mesoscale meteorology phenomena that influence the pacific waters hundreds of kilometers off the Nicaraguan and Costa Rican shores .

When the jet wind surges , it creates cyclonic and anticyclonic eddies , Ekman transport , and upwelling that contribute to the creation of the Costa Rica Dome off the western coast of Central America in the Western Hemisphere Warm Pool ( WHWP ) .

The relatively cold , nutrient - rich waters of the dome , in comparison to the surrounding WHWP , create an ideal habitat for a number of species making the Papagayo Wind Jet important for biodiversity in the Eastern Tropical Pacific .


Niagara Regional Council

The Niagara Regional Council is the governing body of the Regional Municipality of Niagara in Ontario , Canada .

Council meets at Niagara Region Headquarters in Thorold , Ontario .

The council consists of a regional chair , the mayors of all twelve Niagara Regional municipalities , and eighteen additional regional councillors elected to represent the various municipalities .

November Spawned a Monster

" November Spawned a Monster " is a song by Morrissey .

It was written by Morrissey and Clive Langer .

It also features one of Morrissey 's former colleagues from The Smiths , Andy Rourke .

In reaching number 12 in the British chart it was a marked improvement over Morrissey 's previous single , " Ouija Board , Ouija Board " , but still failed to chart as high as the singer 's first four releases .

The track is one of Morrissey 's personal favourites , and has been played live many times by the singer .

It along with its b - side " He Knows I 'd Love to See Him " appears on the compilation album Bona Drag .

The song tackles the plight of the disabled , an unusual subject matter for a pop single .

As ever with Morrissey the tone and sentiments are riddled with ambiguity .

His use of words such as ' monster ' and ' twisted ' creates a strange mix of revulsion , sympathy and black comedy , all used to enlighten , and disturb , the audience .

By forcing the ambivalent persona of tormentor and saviour , Morrissey forces the listener to confront their own prejudices head on . "

The song is quoting Les Chants de Maldoror ( Chant 2 , verse 7 ) , in which a hermaphrodite perceives himself as a monster and dreams of love .

In November 2014 Alex Broun 's play November Spawned a Monster , inspired by Morrissey 's song , premiered at The Old Fitzroy , in Sydney , Australia , directed by Robert Chuter ( director ) and starring James Wright .

Temple of Jupiter Feretrius

The Temple of Jupiter Feretrius ( Latin : Aedes Iuppiter Feretrius ) was the first temple ever built in Rome ( the second was Etruscan and became known as the Temple of Jupiter Optimus Maximus ) .

Its site is uncertain but is thought to have been on the Capitoline Hill .

It was said to have been dedicated to the god Jupiter by Romulus after his defeat of Acro , king of the Ceninensi , in 752 - 751 BC .

The origin of the epithet ' Feretrius ' is unclear and may relate to one of two Latin verbs - ' ferire ' ( making it mean ' he who strikes ' , since the spolia opima was offered there ) or ' ferre ' ( making it mean ' he to whom [ the spolia opima ] are brought ' ) .

According to Cornelius Nepos , by the middle years of the first century BC the temple had lost its roof after many years of neglect .

As a result , the emperor Augustus decided to rebuild it on the suggestion of Titus Pomponius Atticus , the wealthy equestrian most famous for being the friend and confidant of Cicero .

Augustus subsequently included the temple in his autobiography , the Res Gestae Divi Augusti , within the list of monuments and temples in Rome that he paid to have rebuilt .

If still in use by the 4th - century , it would have been closed during the persecution of pagans in the late Roman Empire .

Otto Deiters

Otto Friedrich Karl Deiters (; November 15 , 1834 – December 5 , 1863 ) was a German neuroanatomist .

He was born in Bonn , studied at the University of Bonn , and spent most of his professional career in Bonn .

He is remembered for his microscopic research of the brain and spinal cord .

Around 1860 , Deiters provided the most comprehensive description of a nerve cell that was known to exist at the time .

He identified the cells ' axon , which he called an " axis cylinder " , and its dendrites , which he referred to as protoplasmic processes .

He postulated that dendrites must fuse to form a continuous network .

His name is lent to the " nucleus of Deiters " , also called the lateral vestibular nucleus , and to " Deiters ' cells " , structures that are associated with outer hair cells in the cochlea of the inner ear .

Deiters died in 1863 from typhoid fever at the age of 29 .

After his death , his work pertaining to nerve cells of the spinal cord was edited and published by anatomist Max Schultze ( 1825 - 1874 ) .

Asian Super Grid

The Asian Super Grid is a project to establish an electrical power transmission network , or super grid , connecting China , South Korea , Mongolia , Russia , and Japan .

It will transmit electrical power from renewable sources from areas of the world that are best able to produce it to consumers in other parts of the world .

The idea is dependent on development of an ultra - high voltage grid operating at more than 1,000 kilovolts AC and 800 kilovolts DC over thousands of kilometers .

It envisions interconnecting grids across regions , nations , and even continents with a capacity of over 10 gigawatts .

The concept is the result of an idea by Masayoshi Son , founder and head of the telecom and Internet giant SoftBank Group .

After the devastation at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant following the 2011 Tohoku earthquake , Son was so shocked by events that he established the Renewable Energy Institute soon afterwards to help develop and promote renewable energy .


Climate change in Germany

Climate change in Germany describes the impacts of anthropogenic climate change on Germany .

This includes long - term impacts on agriculture , more intense heatwaves and coldwaves , flash and coastal flooding , and reduced water availability .

Debates over how to address these long - term challenges have also sparked changes in the energy sector and in mitigation strategies .

Germany 's energiewende ( " energy transition " ) has been a significant political issue in German politics that has made coalition talks difficult for Angela Merkel 's CDU .

Despite massive investments in renewable energy , Germany has struggled to reduce coal production and usage .

The country remains Europe 's largest importer of coal and produces the 2nd most amount of coal in the European Union behind Poland , about 1 % of the global total .

Germany hosted the COP23 meeting in Bonn to which the German delegation traveled in a carbon - neutral train to demonstrate commitment to carbon neutrality .


Ashcan School

The Ashcan School , also called the Ash Can School , was an artistic movement in the United States during the early 20th century that is best known for works portraying scenes of daily life in New York , often in the city 's poorer neighborhoods .

The most famous artists working in this style included Robert Henri ( 1865 – 1929 ) , George Luks ( 1867 – 1933 ) , William Glackens ( 1870 – 1938 ) , John Sloan ( 1871 – 1951 ) , and Everett Shinn ( 1876 – 1953 ) , some of whom had met studying together under the renowned realist Thomas Anshutz at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts , and others of whom met in the newspaper offices of Philadelphia where they worked as illustrators .

The movement has been seen as emblematic of the spirit of political rebellion of the period .


Anzac biscuit

An Anzac biscuit is a sweet biscuit , popular in Australia and New Zealand , made using rolled oats , flour , sugar , butter ( or margarine ) , golden syrup , baking soda , boiling water , and ( optionally ) desiccated coconut .

Anzac biscuits have long been associated with the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps ( ANZAC ) established in World War I.

The biscuits were sent by wives and women 's groups to soldiers abroad because the ingredients do not spoil easily and the biscuits kept well during naval transportation .

Today , Anzac biscuits are manufactured commercially for retail sale .

Anzac biscuits should not be confused with hardtack , which was nicknamed " ANZAC wafers " in Australia and New Zealand .


Fort Mississauga

Fort Mississauga National Historic Site is a fort on the shore of Lake Ontario , at the mouth of the Niagara River in Niagara - on - the - Lake , Ontario , Canada .

The fort today consists of a box – shaped brick tower and historic star – shaped earthworks .

The all – brick fort was built from 1814 – 1816 during the War of 1812 , to replace nearby Fort George .

It was built on a foundation of brick and stone salvaged from rubble left after retreating United States forces burned the nearby town of Niagara ( as Niagara - on - the - Lake was known then ) in December , 1813 .

It would help in the defence of Upper Canada the following year , as part of a regional network that included Fort George , Navy Hall , and Butler 's Barracks .

However , the fort would n't be completed until after the war .


ZEEP

The ZEEP ( Zero Energy Experimental Pile ) reactor was a nuclear reactor built at the Chalk River Laboratories near Chalk River , Ontario , Canada ( which superseded the Montreal Laboratory for nuclear research in Canada ) .

ZEEP first went critical at 15:45 on September 5 , 1945 .

ZEEP 's was the first operational nuclear reactor outside the United States .

The reactor was designed by Canadian , British and French scientists as a part of an effort to produce plutonium for nuclear weapons during World War II .

It was developed while the Montreal Laboratory and Chalk River Laboratories research facility were under the supervision of the National Research Council of Canada ( NRC ) .

ZEEP was instrumental in the development of the NRX and NRU reactors , which led to the development of the successful CANDU reactor .

ZEEP was used to test reactivity effects and other physics parameters needed for reactor development at Chalk River Laboratories , including fuel lattices for the NRU reactor situated next door .

ZEEP was one of the world 's first heavy water reactors , and it was also designed to use natural ( unenriched ) uranium ; a feature carried through to the CANDU design .

Uranium enrichment is a complex and expensive process ; thus , the ability to use unenriched uranium gave ZEEP and its descendants a number of distinct advantages .

ZEEP continued to be used for basic research until 1970 .

It was decommissioned in 1973 and dismantled in 1997 .

In 1966 ZEEP was designated a historic site by Ontario , and commemorated with an historic plaque .

Both this plaque and ZEEP itself are now on display at the Canada Science and Technology Museum in Ottawa , Canada .

The New Chinese Empire

The New Chinese Empire is a book by Ross Terrill which was published by Basic Books in 2003 and won the Los Angeles Times Book Prize , Current Interest , for that year .

The book goes into in - depth explanations about the new and powerful Chinese " empire " and how it affects American society and ideology .

It also delves deeply into the psyche of the Chinese government 's internal workings and explains China 's view on domestic and foreign policies .

Terrill 's argument connects an ancient dynastic China with the China of today and their blend of idealism and realism , attachment to doctrine , paternalism , and the obsession with national unity .

Terrill , a Harvard PhD in Political Science , draws on his professional training and years of visiting China to show in the words of Lucian Pye , " a civilization masquerading as a nation " .

He depicts China 's longer - term future , not as having a clash of civilizations , but instead of the universals of human nature and social change .

Terrill is also the writer of the biography , Mao which was first banned in the PRC for its " realistic " portrayal of Mao Zedong , then published by the People 's University Press to become a best seller .

Café Wars

The Café Wars took place during the Algerian War , as a part of the internal fighting in France between two rival Algerian nationalist movements , the Mouvement National Algérien and the Front de Libération National ( which later became the ruling political party in independent Algeria ) .

The Café Wars are so called because part of the fighting took the form of bomb attacks and assassinations in cafés , directed at supporters of the other party , as they struggled for control and influence over the large Algerian expatriate community and its organizations .

Since both organizations operated underground , and were wanted by the French government , the line between a military and a civilian target was hard to draw , and often wilfully disregarded by the combatants .

Groups from both the MNA and the FLN resorted to gangland - style killings , intimidation and the murder of civilians to pursue their political goals and secure finances and influence .

This led to the Café Wars being portrayed in France as acts of random terrorism , and conflated with attacks on French settlers in Algeria .

According to some estimates the Café Wars cost an estimated 5,000 lives .

The official French figures are 3,975 dead and a total of 10,223 victims ( dead or wounded )

The Café Wars did not end before Algeria was granted independence in 1962 , by the government of Charles de Gaulle .

The FLN had by then routed the MNA 's guerrilla units in Algeria , and for all practical purposes destroyed its organization in France .

Maha Yazawin

The Maha Yazawin , fully the Maha Yazawindawgyi ( , ) and formerly romanized as the , is the first national chronicle of Burma / Myanmar .

Completed in 1724 by U Kala , a historian at the Toungoo court , it was the first chronicle to synthesize all the ancient , regional , foreign and biographic histories related to Burmese history .

Prior to the chronicle , the only known Burmese histories were biographies and comparatively brief local chronicles .

The chronicle has formed the basis for all subsequent histories of the country , including the earliest English language histories of Burma written in the late 19th century .

The chronicle starts with the beginning of the current world cycle according to Buddhist tradition and the Buddhist version of ancient Indian history , and proceeds " with ever increasing detail to narrate the political story of the Irrawaddy basin from quasi - legendary dynasties to events witnessed by the author himself in 1711 . "

Since it was written in the late Toungoo period , the chronicle provides its most specific information on dates and descriptions of various events Toungoo kings partook .

The chronicle 's portrayal of the 16th century Toungoo Burma , which was also witnessed by many Europeans , has been found by scholars to be largely factual .

However , its narrative of the earlier periods is less detailed , showing that the author did not have the full versions of earlier chronicles .

Moreover , he did not check any inscriptions , which would have yielded more specific dates and double - checked the events .

Nonetheless , the pre-1712 portions of later national Burmese chronicles — including Yazawin Thit , Maha Yazawin Kyaw , and Hmannan Yazawin — are essentially verbatim reproductions of this chronicle , though the later chronicles did correct many of Maha Yazawin 's Pagan Dynasty and pre - Pagan dates based on epigraphic evidence .

Warmiak

The Warmiak are a Polish ethnic group from Warmia who are mostly Roman Catholics and who speak their own dialect of Polish , called gwara warmińska ( see : Dialects of the Polish language ) .

Between the 14th and 17th centuries , settlers from northern Mazovia moved to former territories of Old Prussians , following conquests by the Teutonic Order , and the erection of the Monastic state of the Teutonic Knights .

The bishopric of Warmia became in 1466 an autonomous part of Royal Prussia , and remained part of Polish – Lithuanian Commonwealth until 1772 ( see : Partitions of Poland ) .

While Mazurs in the neighboring Ducal Prussia became Protestants when that Duchy adopted Lutheranism in the 16th century , most Warmiaks , populating the areas around Olsztyn , remained Catholics .

During World War II , the Warmiaks were persecuted by the Nazi Germany government , which wanted to erase all aspects of Polish culture and Polish language in Warmia .

After the war , due to their Polish roots , they were not victims of Expulsion of Germans after World War II , but in the course of the time , large numbers of Warmiaks decided to leave their native land and settle in more prosperous West Germany .
