# Thumbing one's nose

Thumbing one's nose, also known as cocking a snook, is a sign of derision, disrespect, contempt, or defiance, made by putting the thumb on the nose, holding the palm open and perpendicular to the face, and wiggling the remaining fingers. It is used mostly by schoolchildren. It is also known as thumbing the nose, Anne's Fan or Queen Anne's Fan.
The phrase "cocking a snook" can be used figuratively: the Oxford English Dictionary cites a 1938 usage "The Rome–Berlin axis...cocked the biggest snook yet at the League of Nations idea" by Eric Ambler in his Cause for Alarm.

# RBS 56B BILL 2

The RBS 56B BILL 2 Anti-Tank Guided Weapon is a man-portable or vehicle-mounted guided anti-tank missile using the overfly top attack method to attack the weaker parts of an armoured vehicle. BILL is acronym for Bofors Infantry Light & Lethal.

## System
### Design

The RBS 56B BILL 2 was designed upon the original BILL 1 Anti-tank guided weapon that has been in the service of the Swedish Army since 1988. The BILL 2 is currently produced by Saab Bofors Dynamics, who are located in Karlskoga, Sweden. The BILL 2 comes with one 10.5 kg missile, a launching tube, tripod with x7 magnification day sight, and one thermal imaging sight.

### Operation

The RBS 56B BILL 2 uses OTA or Overfly Top Attack to attack its target. The missile flies towards the target on a standard horizontal trajectory, but rather than directly hitting the target head on, it overflies it, detonating its warhead on top of an armored vehicle, where the armour is usually lighter. It also utilizes additional guidance accuracy via the installed rate gyro, which monitors the tracking movement of the launcher. It is designed primarily to attack armoured or unarmoured vehicles, but can also be used to attack helicopters or soft ground targets, such as light buildings.
The BILL 2 can be mounted onto a variety of vehicles and then fired remotely from inside the vehicle.

### Firing Modes

The BILL 2 has three firing modes that the launcher's operator can select, before launching the missile.
* Basic – In this mode the missile will use both of its sensors to hit the armoured vehicle from the top.
* Non-Armored – In this mode the missile uses no sensors and flies on a LOS or line-of-sight, while using the impact fuse.
* Soft Target – In this mode the optical sensor is used, but the magnetic sensor is not. The missile then uses OTA to attack its target.

### Missile

The BILL 2 Missile uses a SACLOS or semi-automatic command to line-of-sight guidance system, and is controlled via a communications wire that trails behind the missile from the launch tube. The BILL 2 warhead has an optical and magnetic sensor. The optical sensor serves to find the target's range, while the magnetic sensor detects metallic targets to determine the best point for the missile to detonate.
The BILL 2 contains both a proximity fuse and an inertial impact fuse. The BILL 2 is armed with a pair of vertically striking explosively formed penetrator warheads, which each direct a self-forging slug of metal downwards at extreme velocities using a high explosive blast. The 40 mm frontal "precursor" warhead destroys any reactive armour protecting the target and leaves the 110 mm rear warhead to penetrate the armour.
Total penetration capabilities are classified, but are known to be at least 550 mm in rolled homogeneous armor.

## Operators

* Austria: Known as Panzerabwehrlenkwaffe PAL 2000 Bill
* Saudi Arabia
* Sweden: In service from 1999 to 2013, returned to service in December 2021

# Brook Stream (New Zealand)

Brook Stream, or Waimarama, is a major tributary of the Maitai / Mahitahi River in Nelson, South Island, New Zealand.
Nelson's first water scheme was on Brook Stream, with a weir and pipeline constructed in 1867 in what is now the Brook Waimarama Sanctuary. Demand began to exceed supply, and a second weir was constructed to create the Top Dam in 1909. By the 1930s it was insufficient for Nelson's growing population. The Roding River waterworks scheme was completed in 1941 and an intake on the Maitai Mahitahi South Branch completed in 1963. The Brook Dam was decommissioned in 2000.
Restoration of Brook Stream, and waterways in the Maitai catchment, has been a major focus of Project Maitai, a Nelson City Council initiative to improve the health of the Maitai River and all its tributaries.

# Hêzên Komandos

The Hêzên Komandos (English: Commando Forces, Arabic: قوات الكوماندوس) are a counterinsurgency force within the Syrian Democratic Forces, trained and equipped by the U.S. Department of Defense. The force primarily targets the Islamic State in high-value target raids and clearance operations.

## History

Hêzên Komandos has been in existence since at least 2020, while earlier SDF “commando” units have existed since at least 2018. In 2020, the Commando Forces reportedly raided 56 sites in a single anti-ISIS operation in Deir Ezzor, with support from the International Coalition. On 25 February 2021, the Commandos raided illegal river crossings on the Euphrates used by smugglers. The SDF deployed the Commando Forces to suppress the al-Sina’a Prison break in 2022. On 5 February 2024, six members of the Hêzên Komandos were killed within an SDF training academy near the al-Omar Oil Fields, when an Iranian attack drone launched by the Islamic Resistance in Iraq (IRI) from Syrian Government territory struck the facility.

## Support by U.S.-led Coalition

Hêzên Komandos are officially trained and armed by the U.S. Department of Defense, which describes the unit as “the SDF’s premier counterterrorism strike force.” The United States Department of Defense has assessed that “SDF Commando units can effectively conduct detention operations, maneuvers, patrols, and large-scale clearance operations.”
By February 2020, the DoD had a two-year plan in place to train 1,120 SDF Commandos. As of 2023, the department continues to assist in training and equipping five Commando “companies.”

# Shen Maomao

Shen Maomao (Chinese: 申毛毛; born 27 March 1957) is a Chinese former track and field athlete who competed in the javelin throw. His is a three-time Asian champion and a former Asian record holder.

## Career

He rose to prominence with a gold medal-winning performance at the 1978 Asian Games, breaking the games record for the javelin with his throw of 79.24 m (259 ft 11+1⁄2 in) to beat Japan's best athlete, Toshihiko Takeda. This made him the first Chinese man to win that title, building on the success of his female counterpart Mao Jiajou in 1974. The following year he defeated Toshihiro Yamada in Tokyo by over eight metres to take the gold medal at the 1979 Asian Athletics Championships. Again this was a championship record and a first win for a Chinese athlete, and was also a new Asian record. Reflecting growing national prowess in the discipline, Li Xia also won the women's event that year.
China's 1980 Olympic boycott meant that Maomao did not get the opportunity to compete at the highest international stage. He did compete at the alternative Liberty Bell Classic event held in the United States and was a clear winner with a throw of 89.12 m (292 ft 4+1⁄2 in). This throw would have been sufficient to earn him an Olympic medal at the 1980 Moscow Games. The mark was far in excess of his previous best and represented another Asian record for the Chinese thrower. A former Chinese national record, it remains the best mark ever set by a Chinese with the old javelin design. Among Asian athletes, only Kazakhstan's Viktor Yevsyukov (then competing for the Soviet Union) threw further.
Shen's last major competition was the 1981 Asian Athletics Championships and he successfully defended his title against Japanese opposition in Tokyo. This made him the first athlete to win that title twice. That year shot putter Mohammed Al-Zinkawi and Shigenobu Murofushi were also repeat throws champions.
His career best of 89.12 m in Philadelphia is also reported as being 89.14 m (perhaps due to the difference in converting imperial measurements). His highest global ranking came with this mark, at twelfth for the 1980 season. His throw of 80.48 m (264 ft 1⁄2 in) to win at the 1979 National Games of China was the record for the old javelin throw implement.
