Aarushhh/wikipedia-simple-splitted huggingface dataset:
Modern two-letter abbreviated codes for the states and territories began in October 1963, with the issuance of Publication 59: Abbreviations for Use with ZIP Code, three months after the Post Office introduced ZIP codes in July 1963. The purpose was to make room in a line of no more than 23 characters for the city, state, and the ZIP code.

After 1963, only one state abbreviation has changed. Originally Nebraska was "NB"; but, in November 1969, the Post Office changed it to "NE" to avoid confusion with New Brunswick in Canada.

Prior to 1987, when the U.S. Secretary of Commerce allowed the two-letter codes for use in government items, the United States Government Printing Office (GPO) suggested its own set of abbreviations, with some states left unabbreviated. Today, the GPO supports United States Postal Service standard.

Current use of traditional abbreviations

Legal citation manuals, such as The Bluebook and The ALWD Citation Manual, usually use the "traditional abbreviations" or other abbreviations.
Codes for states and territories

ISO standard 3166

ANSI standard INCITS 38:2009
The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) established ordered by letter and ordered by number codes for each state and outlying areas in ANSI standard INCITS 38:2009. ANSI standard INCITS 38:2009 replaced the Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) standards FIPS 5-2, FIPS 6-4, and FIPS 10-4. The ANSI ordered by letter state code is the same as the USPS state code except for U.S. Minor Outlying Islands, which have an ANSI code "UM" but no USPS code—and U.S. Military Mail locations, which have USPS codes ("AA", "AE", "AP") but no ANSI code.

Postal codes

The United States Postal Service (USPS) has made a set of uppercase abbreviations to help process mail with optical character recognition and other automated equipment. There are also official USPS abbreviations for other parts of the address, such as street designators (street, avenue, road, etc.).
These two-letter codes are different from traditional abbreviations such as Calif., Fla., or Tex. The Associated Press Stylebook says that in situations other than mailing addresses, the traditional state abbreviations should be used. However, the Chicago Manual of Style now recommends the use of the uppercase two-letter abbreviations, with the traditional forms as an option.

The postal abbreviation is the same as the ISO 3166-2 subdivision code for each of the fifty states.

These codes do not overlap with the 13 Canadian subnational postal abbreviations. The code for Nebraska changed from NB to NE in November 1969 to avoid a conflict with New Brunswick. Canada likewise chose MB for Manitoba to prevent conflict with either Massachusetts (MA), Michigan (MI), Minnesota (MN), Missouri (MO), or Montana (MT).
Coast Guard vessel prefixes
The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) uses a set of two-letter prefixes for vessel numbers; 39 states and the District of Columbia have the same USPS and USCG abbreviations. USCG prefixes have also been made for five outlying territories; all are the same as the USPS abbreviations except the Mariana Islands. The twelve cases where USPS and USCG abbreviations are different are listed below and marked in bold red in the table above; they include three inland states with a small Coast Guard group. These twelve abbreviations were changed to avoid conflicting with the ISO 3166 two-digit country codes.

The Blockade of the Gaza Strip (2023) is a current blockade of Gaza, which involved the operations carried out during the 2023 Israel–Hamas war by Israel in order to restrict supplies such as food, water, and medicine. Fuel and electricity were also restricted by Israel. The Israeli Energy Minister, Israel Katz stated that the lifting and end of the blockade would not occur until hostages, who were captured by Hamas, are released and are safely returned to their country.

The blockade of Gaza was undertaken by Israel, in response to the Hamas offensive against Israel. The blockade began in the Gaza Strip on 9 October 2023.

History of the Gaza Strip
The Gaza-Israel conflict is a long running dispute between the Gaza Strip (a Palestinian territory) and Israel. It revolves around political, territorial and security matters, and it has resulted in violence, wars, and ongoing tensions. Key issues include border disputes, control of resources and the political self-determination of Palestinians in Gaza. 

An important background to note in this conflict is the Gaza blockade which is imposed by Israel and Egypt after Hamas took control of Gaza in 2007 following the Fatah–Hamas conflict. The blockade restricts the movement of people and goods in and out of Gaza, impacting the daily lives of its residents. International efforts tries to find a peaceful resolution, but this remains a complex and unresolved issue. 

Human Rights Watch have described the Gaza Strip, which has been under an Israeli blockade since 2007, as an "open-air prison".

is a professional wrestling stable that competes in the New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW). The stable was created on May 3, 2013.

The current leader of Bullet Club is David Finlay. Over their years of existence, Bullet Club has had many different members join the group and leave. Former leaders of Bullet Club were Prince Devitt, A.J. Styles, Kenny Omega, and Jay White. They all portray a group of heel gaijin (evil foreigners). A branch called Bullet Club Gold with Jay White, Austin Gunn, Colten Gunn, Juice Robinson wrestle in All Elite Wrestling (AEW).

Leadership under Prince Devitt
Finn Balor was wrestling in a tag team with Ryusuke Taguchi called Apollo 55. After losing a match to Hiroshi Tanahashi, Devitt would start to change his personality and become more disrespectful.
He would try to get Taguchi on his side but Taguchi refused. At Invasion Attack, Devitt and Taguchi would face the Time Splitters (Alex Shelley and Kushida) for the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championships but lost. Devitt would attack Taguchi after the match and end Apollo 55. King Fale ran down to the ring and joined in on the beatdown. Devitt would call himself the Real Rock 'n' Rolla and renamed Fale as "The Underboss" Bad Luck Fale.
 
At Wrestling Dontaku 2013, Tanahashi would defeat Karl Anderson. After the match, Devitt and Fale ran out and attacked Tanahashi. Anderson and his partner Tama Tonga would join in on the beatdown and join the other two. They would announce after the match that their new group would be called "Bullet Club".

Devitt would enter the 2013 Best of the Super Juniors. He would sweep his block and make it all the way to finals, defeating Kenny Omega and finally Alex Shelley in the finals to win.
At Kizuna Road 2013, Tonga and Terrible would lose their CMLL World Tag Team Championships to Tanahashi and Jyushin Thunder Liger. On the same show, Devitt would successfully defend his IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship against Gedo and earned a shot at Kazuchika Okada's IWGP Heavyweight Championship.

At the 2013 G1 Climax, Devitt and Anderson would both join the tournament. Devitt would lose in his block and Anderson would be eliminated by Tetsuya Naito. Members of Bullet Club would interfere in many of the matches during the tournament.

During the 2013 Super Junior Tag League, The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) would join Bullet Club. They would win the tournament and go on to defeat Suzuki-gun (Taichi and Taka Michinoku) to win the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championships at Power Struggle.
Anderson and the debuting Doc Gallows would win the 2013 World Tag League on December 8. At Wrestle Kingdom 8, Anderson and Gallows would defeat K.E.S. (Davey Boy Smith Jr. and Lance Archer) to become the new the IWGP Tag Team Champions. Also during the event, Devitt would lose his IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship to Kota Ibushi.

Devitt would lose a Loser Leaves Town match to his former Apollo 55 partner Taguchi at Invasion Attack. During the match, the Bucks would turn on Devitt and attack him after he told them multiple times not to interfere in the match. Devitt would leave New Japan Pro-Wrestling after his loss.

Ohi Day (or Oxi Day) is a day that people in Greece celebrate on 28 October (the actual date of it being 28 October 1940).

This is an event where people in Greece fought the Italians (the axis forces) during World War II over Greek land. On this day, an Italian messenger had come up to Ioannis Metaxas and proclaimed to him that if he did not give the Italians their land, there would be trouble. Metaxas, still in his pyjamas, formerly replied in French, "There will be war."

Men from all around Greece happily marched off to war, and eventually won the battle, the Italians having underestimated them. And that is Oxi Day.

Christian Parker (born 9 July 1968) is an American musician, songwriter, record artist and guitarist. He creates music in the genres of folk, country rock, and cosmic American. His songs explore various topics, including challenges, achievements, and the relationships between people. He is also a member of the band Waydown Wailers, based in Canton, New York

Biography
Parker was born on 9 July 1968, and grew up in Canton, New York, near the Canadian border. He developed a passion for music at a young age and became skilled at playing the guitar and writing songs while in school. At 12 years old, he started taking guitar lessons. 

In 1986, at the age of 17, Parker released his first album, "Reflections of Tomorrow". Four years later, in 1990, he worked with Peter Pendras, the guitarist of the country band Wild Choir, to release his second album, "Through The Darkness". In 2007, Parker worked with musician Barb Heller to release his fourth album, "Now & Then".
In 2022, he released "Every Passing Mile" in collaboration with musician Phil Hurley under SubCat Records. The album consisted of 13 songs, most of which were written by Parker. It also included the opening track "Cast a Line", which he co-wrote with Peter Pendras during the initial period of the COVID-19 lockdown. That same year, Parker released his sixth album, "Best Kept Secret", which featured previously unreleased material spanning two decades.

In 2023, he released his seventh album, "Sweethearts: A Tribute To The Byrds 'Sweetheart of the Rodeo'". This album showcased Parker's modern country interpretations of all 11 tracks from the original 1968 album by the American folk rock band The Byrds. In addition to the original songs, Parker included three more tracks on the album: "I Still Miss Something" by Johnny Cash, "Satisfied Mind" by Joe Hayes and Jack Rhodes, and "Drugstore Truck Driving Man" by Roger McGuinn and Gram Parsons.
Parker said that the album is "our tribute to the 1968 classic". Notably, Earl Poole Ball, who played on the original 1968 album, is also featured as a co-artist on this rendition. Furthermore, Ball and Parker collaborated as producers for the record. Another notable contributor to the 2023 "Sweethearts" album is JayDee Maness, who also participated in the original 1968 recording. The album's production began in May 2022 and continued in the fall, with additional musicians joining the recording in January 2023.

The second volume of the Byrds tribute album, titled "Change is Now", is set to be released in early 2024.

Snake is a type of action video game where the player controls a growing line that looks like a snake. The goal is to avoid hitting obstacles and the snake's own body as it gets longer. This game originated in 1976 as a two-player arcade game called Blockade. The objective was to survive longer than the other player. Later, a single-player version was created where the snake grows longer by eating food like apples or eggs. Snake games are popular because they are simple and don't require advanced technology. 

There are many versions of snake games available for different platforms, some with "snake" or "worm" in the title. The popularity of snake games increased when a version called Snake was preloaded on Nokia mobile phones in 1998, reaching a larger audience.

A referendum on splitting from the Gilbert Islands was held in the Ellice Islands (which were together as the Gilbert and Ellice Islands at the time) between July and September 1974. It started in July in Tarawa in the Gilbert Islands before being taken to every person who lived in the Ellice Islands.

The result was 93% of voters deciding to split the colony, with a voter turnout of 88%. In October 1975, the islands were officially split into two colonies. Four years after the referendum, the islands became the country of Tuvalu, while the Gilbert Islands became Kiribati.

Background
The 8 representatives of the Ellice Islands were concerned about the Gilbert Islands being the more powerful part of the territory. They had an inquiry held by the British representative Leslie Monson. The British government let them have the referendum.
Before the referendum, the British government said that if the colony split, the Ellice Islands would not get any of the Gilberts' phosphate revenues from Ocean Island and that the assets of the GEIC outside the Ellice Islands would be owned by the Gilbert Islands. However, all prominent Ellice Islands politicians except Isakala Paeniu still wanted to split.

Results
The referendum had two options:
The establishment of a separate Ellice Islands Colony
To remain with the Gilberts as part of the GEIC and what the colony becomes when its status is altered.

Trndez, also known as Tyarnndarach and Candlemas Day, is a special event in the Armenian Apostolic Church and Armenian Catholic Churches. It takes place 40 days after the birth of Jesus. The two churches celebrate Trndez on different days, either on the 13th of February (with celebrations on the eve of the 14th) or on the 2nd of February.

Trndez has its roots in Zoroastrian traditions and was originally associated with sun and fire worship in ancient Armenia before the arrival of Christianity. It symbolized the arrival of spring and fertility. After the adoption of Christianity, the holiday took on a new meaning, representing eternal and strong love. It is believed that if a couple jumps over a bonfire while holding hands, their love and bond will last forever. Another belief is that jumping over the bonfire can cure illnesses and purify sinners. Some also think that an infertile woman can become fertile by jumping over the bonfire.
Although Trndez has its origins in Hellenistic culture, it has evolved into a Christian holiday over time. The alternative name, Tyarnndarach, translates to "towards the God" in Armenian. Even today, Trndez is widely celebrated by Armenians and the Armenian Apostolic Church.

Academic dress is the form of robes and headdress worn by graduates or students of a university. Some universities require all students in an undergraduate degree to wear short black robes to classes such as University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge which has their students wearing a less formal robe whilst on campus. Most academic dress is only worn at graduation ceremonies or formal occasions not everyday. There are different types of dress for different types of degrees with the doctoral degree using the most elaborate and formal type of dress. Academic dress was first worn at the old universities of Oxford and Cambrdige but is now worn by most universities around the World. The colour of the robe and/or sash of the robes indicate which degree and in what subject the wearing is graduating in. Academic dress almost always includes a type of headdress commonly called a mortar board.

The British Longhair is a breed of cat. It originated in Great Britain.

History 
British Longhair was created by crossing between British Shorthair and Persian cat. It has not been bred as an independent breed. Since many British Shorthair cats carry the mutation for longhair, it happened again and again that from two British Shorthair cats also longhair were born. These were the starting for the breeding of the British Longhair.

Health 
British Longhairs are prone to obesity if they are neutered or kept as an indoor-only cat.

Like most long-haired cats, they need to be brushed. In the fall and winter, the coat tangles easily because of the thicker integument.

They are at risk for hereditary polycystic kidney disease (PKD), especially autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD).
