# Stallo

In the folklore of the Sámi, a Stállo (also Staaloe, Stalo or Northern Sami Stállu) is a large, human-like creature who likes to eat people and who therefore is usually in some form of hostilities with a human. Stallos are clumsy and stupid, and thus humans often gain the upper hand over them.
The Vindelfjällen Nature Reserve contains the remains of ancient, large building foundations, considered by the Sami to be the remains of Stallo dwellings. There is also a huge stone placed on some small pebbles on top near Lake Giengeljaure named stalostenen, which literally means "the Stallo stone." Legend dictates that a Stallo would have placed a stone here to prove his strength.

## Stallo sites

On account of the identification of relics of ancient buildings with the 'stallo' in the southern part of the Sámi area of Sweden, archaeologists have come to refer to such relics as 'stallo sites [sv]' generally, following the lead of Ernst Manker's 1960 study Fångstgropar och stalotomter ('hunting pits and stallo sites'). Such buildings are actually round or oval, with a diameter of four to six metres, arranged linearly in groups of two to eight (or, more rarely, more, up to fifteen). Around sixty such sites are known, distributed along what is now the Norway-Sweden border, from Frostviken in Jämtland county to the south, to Devddesvuopmi in Troms to the north. They are found above the tree line, at heights between 550 and 850 metres. They seem to have been in most extensive use around 800–1050 CE, that is, during the Viking Age. Scholars agree that these were temporary dwellings, probably for use in the warmer months, and that they reflect a change in the economic habits of their users, almost certainly associated with hunting or herding reindeer. Nevertheless, there is extensive debate over whether the inhabitants were ethnically Norse or Sámi, where their permanent habitations were located, and their purpose. As of 2014, debate was ongoing, but opinion at that time favoured the idea that the stallo sites were used by Sámi people, partly because the layout of the buildings corresponds to later Sámi dwellings.

## In folklore

Stallo appears in Sámi folktales, such as How the Stalos were Tricked, Stalo och Kauras, and The Tale of Njunje Paggas.
# Transcendental Étude No. 5 (Liszt)

Transcendental Étude No. 5 in B♭ major, "Feux follets" (Wills o' the Wisp) is the fifth of twelve Transcendental Études by Franz Liszt.

## Difficulties

As with the other works in the Études but one, Feux follets went through three versions, the first being Étude en douze exercices from 1826, the second being Douze grandes études from 1837, and third Douze études d'exécution trancendante, an 1851 revision of the 1837 set. It is this last version, from 1851, that is most often performed. Its rapid double-note passages in the right hand accompanied by wide broken intervals in the left are notoriously difficult to play. In addition, the passages are often asymmetrical and unpredictable. It reaches several climaxes that are technically demanding and ends in pianissimo arpeggios. Despite the mechanical difficulties of the work, its greatest challenge lies in doing justice to its whimsical and mysterious character. Pianissimo and leggierissimo markings abound in the double-note sections, making it more difficult to play. The piece utilizes chromatic-like scales in the right hand to provide an accompaniment to the left hand, where the melody is.

# Khadijeh Afzal Vaziri

Khadijeh Afzal Vaziri (Persian: خدیجه افضل وزیری; 1889 – 3 January 1981) was an Iranian women's rights activist, journalist and educator. She campaigned against the enforced wearing of the chador and supported the Kashf-e hijab.

## Early life

Khadijeh Afzal Khanoom was born in 1889 in Tehran, Qajar Iran (now Iran) and was the fifth child of Bibi Khanum Astarabadi, a women's rights activist and Musa Khan Vaziri. According to some historical sources, when Bibi Khanum had not yet established her school, she would send her daughter to school in boys' clothes so that she could study alongside her brothers. Her siblings included: Hasan Ali Khan Wazir, Ali Naqi Vaziri and Mowlud Khanoom who was a teacher like their mother.
When she reached the age of 16, she taught the girls at Doshizgan Elementary School, which her mother had founded, becoming one of the first teachers in Iran's first girls' school. She later taught at her sister's school too.
She married her cousin Agha Bozorg Mallah. Their children included: Mahlagha Mallah, Amir Hushang, Husayn'ali, Mehrangiz, Khusraw, and Taymur, who died when he was 11 months old. Mahlagha was born in a caravanserai whilst the family were travelling on a pilgrimage.

## Career

In addition to teaching Vaziri began to write articles for newspapers on women's issues. One of her most notable articles was written for the paper Shafaq-e-Sorkh. In it she countered the attacks on women that were being published by an anonymous writer, which culminated in her writing: "Let women study and work with men, then you will see that women are no less than men". She taught throughout her life and was the director of girls' schools.
Vaziri also designed her own clothes. During the 1930s, whilst many women began to stop wearing face veils, wearing the chador remained popular. Vaziri advocated for a change in fashion alongside Sediqeh Dowlatabadi, and she designed outfits where your arms could move more freely as a result. In an open letter in 1930, Vaziri discussed how enforcing young women (aged seven or eight) to wear a chador, meant that those who did not would be removed from their schools, which would affect their educational opportunities. She was a member of the Kanoun-e-Banovan and supported the Kashf-e hijab reform against compulsory hijab (veiling).
Khadijeh Afzal Vaziri died on 1980 and was buried in section 34 of Behesht-e Zahra (Row 183, Number 35).

## Legacy

After her death, her daughter Mehrangiz Mallah (fa) compiled and edited her mother's oral memoirs, which were the first oral memoir of a woman who lived in pre-Revolution Iran to be published and provide important testimony on their lives.

# Chukot Akum

Chukot Akum or Chukat Ha'Akum is a prohibition in Judaism of imitating Gentile manners in their dressings and practices. The prohibition comes from the Torah commandment "You shall not follow gentile customs" (Leviticus 20:23). Modern life has created many dilemmas on what constitutes a violation of this prohibition and there is ongoing debate about this topic, such as discussions on whether a Jew can attend Thanksgiving dinner or Mother's Day observance without violating this prohibition.

## Origin

The Torah prohibits Jews from imitating the customs of the Gentiles (Leviticus 20:23) . However it does not clearly specify what customs would be called gentile customs.
The Talmud deals with this topic in Avodah Zora 11a when it describes the gentile custom of burning the bed of a king after he has died. In Sanhedrin 52b similar debate is raised about Gentile custom of beheading criminals with a sword. Both of these mentions believe that burning a king's bed or beheading a criminal do not violate the Torah commandment since these acts are not specifically gentile laws and customs.
Rambam wrote about this topic :
   The Jew should be distinguished from them (Gentiles) and distinct in his dress and his actions just as he is distinguished from them in his knowledge and his understanding.
Maharik believed that the gentile customs that are prohibited are those who have no inherent justification because they are suspected of being related to gentile religions. The second category of prohibited customs are those that depart a Jew from humble ways that a Jew should conduct himself. Thus Maharik believed that the Talmudic discussion about burning a king's bed has a logical explanation and is therefore excluded from biblical prohibition.
Sefer ha-Chinuch writes about this topic:
   One who separates himself from all gentile behavior and mannerism and applies all his thought and his heart to G-d, to understand his wondrous ways, is rewarded in that his soul will abide with all that is good and his seed will inherit the earth.

## In modern life

The majority of the opinion believes that the biblical prohibition is about all non-Jews. However, Halacha does not consider Islam as idolatry and therefore Muslims are not subjected to the prohibition. Regardless of whether Christianity is idolatrous, almost all rabbis believe that following Christian customs falls within the biblical prohibitions.
The commandment for not shaving the beard originated in the Torah command for Jews to be separated from Gentile priests who shaved in according to their religious laws. However, some modern Halachic authorities believe that growing a beard or following modern fashion trends do not necessarily separate the Jew from the gentile in modern societies.

## History

Jisp, in older forms Gispe (1328, 1387), Gyspe (1344), is named after a river with the same name, that had an open connection to the North Sea. Its river name is a composite of 'gis' and 'apa'. The first part means 'gisten', to foam. The second part has the meaning of water, indicating a place where by tidal influences foaming water occurred. River names containing 'apa' have possibly a prehistoric and Celtic origin, dating back to a period where humans did only live in the area in certain periods of the year to herd their cattle.
