Battle of Talas

The Battle of Talas , Battle of Talas River , or Battle of Artlakh (; ) was a military engagement between the Arab Abbasid Caliphate along with their ally the Tibetan Empire against the Chinese Tang dynasty , governed at the time by Emperor Xuanzong .

In July 751 CE , Tang and Abbasid forces met in the valley of the Talas River to vie for control over the Syr Darya region of central Asia .

After several days of stalemate , the Karluks originally allied to the Tang defected to the Abbasids and tipped over the balance of power , resulting in a Tang rout .

The defeat marked the end of Tang westward expansion and resulted in Muslim control of Transoxiana for the next 400 years .

Control of this region was economically beneficial for the Abbasids because it was on the Silk Road .

Historians debate whether or not Chinese prisoners captured in the aftermath of the battle brought paper - making technology to the Middle East , where it eventually spread to Europe .


Mark Hollis (album)

Mark Hollis is the only solo album by the former Talk Talk frontman Mark Hollis .

It was released on Polydor Records on 26 January 1998 , then reissued on Pond Life on 13 March 2000 .

In 2003 , the album was released in LP format on Universal Records .

Its sound is noted for being extremely sparse and minimal ; AllMusic called it " quite possibly the most quiet and intimate record ever made " .

Hollis found inspiration not in the popular music of the day , but rather in 20th - century classical music and jazz from the late fifties and sixties .

The album did not mark a return for Hollis to the music industry or live performance : he stated at the time of the album 's release that " There wo n't be any gig , not even at home in the living room .

This material is n't suited to play live . "

The album was recorded as part of a two - album contract with Polydor , along with Talk Talk 's 1991 Laughing Stock .

At one point , the record was to be entitled Mountains of the Moon before it was decided to be self - titled ( an early promotional cassette of the album features the original title ) .

Engineer Phill Brown , who also recorded Laughing Stock , stated that , compared to the final Talk Talk album , which he considered " one of [ his ] best projects " but " dark and claustrophobic " , he found the solo release " the opposite … - open , restful and at times fantastically beautiful " .

On 11 October 2011 , Ba Da Bing Records released Mark Hollis on vinyl .

This marks the first time that the album has been issued on vinyl in the US .

Harlem Shake (song)

" Harlem Shake " is a song recorded by American DJ and producer Baauer .

It was released as his debut single on May 22 , 2012 , by Mad Decent imprint label Jeffree 's .

The uptempo song — variously described as trap , hip hop or bass music — incorporates a mechanical bassline , Dutch house synth riffs , a dance music drop , and samples of growling - lion sounds .

It also samples Plastic Little 's 2001 song " Miller Time " , specifically the vocal " then do the Harlem shake " , which is an allusion to the dance of the same name .

Baauer added a variety of peculiar sounds to the song so that it would stand out .

The single did not begin to sell significantly until February 2013 , when a YouTube video set to its music developed into an Internet meme of the same name .

The media response to the meme helped increase the single 's sales , as it charted at number one for five consecutive weeks on the US Billboard Hot 100 .

It also reached number three in the United Kingdom and number one in both Australia and New Zealand .

During the song 's chart run , Billboard enacted a policy that included video streams as a component of their charts .

" Harlem Shake " was well received by music critics , who viewed it as an appealing dance track , although some felt that it was more of a novelty song .

After the song became a hit , Mad Decent label head Diplo reached an agreement with the artists of the song 's samples , which had not been contractually cleared before its release .

However , according to Baauer , he has not received any of the money the song made because of the legal issues from not having properly cleared the samples .

American rapper Azealia Banks released a remix to " Harlem Shake " on her SoundCloud page , which was subsequently removed at Baauer 's request and led to a dispute between the two .

Numan 's two previous studio albums , 1988 's Metal Rhythm and 1991 's Outland , had been released through IRS Records .

However , Numan 's relationship with that label had become strained , leading to his quitting IRS and reactivating his own label , Numa Records , on which he had released his work from 1984 until 1986 .

Gospel of John

The Gospel of John ( , to kata Ioánnin euangelion ) , is the fourth of the canonical gospels .

The work is anonymous , although it identifies an unnamed " disciple whom Jesus loved " as the source of its traditions .

It is closely related in style and content to the three Johannine epistles , and most scholars treat the four books , along with the Book of Revelation , as a single corpus of Johannine literature , albeit not from the same author .

C. K. Barrett , and later Raymond E. Brown , suggested that a tradition developed around the " Johannine Community " , and that this tradition gave rise to the gospel .

The discovery of a large number of papyrus fragments of manuscripts with Johannine themes has led more scholars to recognize that the texts were among the most influential in the early Church .

The discourses contained in this gospel seem to be concerned with issues of the church – synagogue debate at the time of composition .

It is notable that in John , the community appears to define itself primarily in contrast to Judaism , rather than as part of a wider Christian community .

Though Christianity started as a movement within Judaism , it gradually separated from Judaism because of mutual opposition between the two religions .

National Socialist Freedom Movement

The National Socialist Freedom Movement ( , NSFB ) or National Socialist Freedom Party ( , NSFP ) was a far - right political party in Weimar Germany created in April 1924 during the aftermath of the Beer Hall Putsch .

Adolf Hitler and many Nazi leaders were jailed after the failed coup attempt and the Nazi Party was outlawed in what came to be known as the Time of Struggle .

The remaining Nazis formed the NSFB as a legal means of carrying on the party and its ideology .

Included in this party was the similarly reformed and renamed Frontbann , which was a legal alternative to the SA .

Eugene Davidson notes that " [ t]he Far Right could not agree on much of anything for long , not even on who was the chief enemy " , with NSFP Reichstag deputy Reinhold Wulle believing that the Catholics were a greater danger than the Jews .

Wulle told a party gathering in January 1925 that Hitler would never again regain his former authority .

Hitler himself had given up his leadership of the party during the duration of his imprisonment , telling people who came to see him that the grounds for his decision were that he was overworked writing a voluminous book .

NSFP leaders Albrecht von Graefe and Erich Ludendorff both quit the NSFP in February 1925 , only a little more than a year after it was founded .

On 27 February 1925 , the Nazi Party was reformed after the ban expired in January and Hitler had been released from prison in December 1924 .

The NSFB was then reabsorbed into the Nazi Party .


Switchblade

A switchblade ( also known as an automatic knife , pushbutton knife , ejector knife , switch , Sprenger , Springer , flick knife , or flick blade ) is a type of knife with a folding or sliding blade contained in the handle which is opened automatically by a spring when a button , lever , or switch on the handle or bolster is stroked .

Most switchblade designs incorporate a locking blade , in which the blade is locked against closure when the spring extends the blade to the fully opened position .

The blade is unlocked by manually operating a mechanism that unlocks the blade and allows it to be folded and locked in the closed position .

In 1954 , Democratic Rep. James J. Delaney of New York authored the first bill submitted to the U.S. Congress banning the manufacture and sale of switchblades , beginning a wave of legal restrictions worldwide and a consequent decline in their popularity .

In 1955 , U.S. newspapers promoted the image of a young delinquent with a stiletto switchblade or flick knife with lurid stories of urban youth gang warfare , often featuring lower class youth and/or racial minorities .

Beijing Consensus

The Beijing Consensus ( also known as the China Model or Chinese Economic Model ) refers to the political and economic policies of the People 's Republic of China instituted after Mao Zedong 's death in 1976 by Deng Xiaoping .

The policies are thought to have contributed to China 's eightfold growth in gross national product over two decades .

The phrase " Beijing Consensus " was coined by Joshua Cooper Ramo to frame China 's economic development model as an alternative — especially for developing countries — to the Washington Consensus of market - friendly policies promoted by the IMF , World Bank , and U.S. Treasury .

In 2016 , Ramo explained that the Beijing Consensus shows not that " every nation will follow China ’s development model , but that it legitimizes the notion of particularity as opposed to the universality of a Washington model " .

Ramo has detailed it as a pragmatic policy that uses innovation and experimentation to achieve " equitable , peaceful high - quality growth " , and " defense of national borders and interests " , whereas other scholars have used it to refer to " stable , if repressive , politics and high - speed economic growth " .

Others criticize its vagueness , claiming that there is " no consensus as to what it stands for " other than being an alternative to the neoliberal Washington Consensus , and that the term " is applied to anything that happens in Beijing , regardless of whether or not it has to do with a ' Chinese Model of Development , ' or even with the People 's Republic of China ( PRC ) per se " .

This fluidity has been described as an " ultra - pragmatic " approach to policy .
