# Pui de lei

"Pui de lei" (transl. "Lion Cubs") is a Romanian patriotic poem. It was written by Ioan S. Nenițescu, author of many other patriotic poems, with "Pui de lei" being one of his most famous ones. It was published by him in 1891 in his work Pui de lei. Poesii eroice și naționale, in which he compiled several other poems inspired in the Romanian War of Independence in which he participated. Ionel G. Brătianu composed a song for the poem in 1902.
The song, along with other ones that also evoke Romania's past and ancestors, was promoted by the Romanian communist authorities. In fact, in 1980, during the 2050th anniversary of the establishment of a centralized Dacian state, the song was officially sung. At the time, there were people who followed a tendency, known as Dacianism (or Dacomania), in which the Dacians were glorified within Romanian history.
However, the song was broadcast in Radio Bucharest (now known as Radio Romania International) by dissident employees on the morning of 21 December 1989, during the Romanian Revolution against the communist government, as a sign of the national uprising that was happening in Romania. In addition, it has been interpreted by the Romanian Land Forces.

## Lyrics

# Firefox Send

Firefox Send was a free and open-source end-to-end encrypted file sharing web service developed by Mozilla. It was operational from August 1, 2017 until July 7, 2020.

## Functionality

Firefox Send allowed users to upload computer files, including large files up to 2.5 gigabytes, to the Send website, generating links from which the file could be accessed and downloaded. Users could also set expiration dates or maximum number of downloads for the links.
The service was end-to-end encrypted, meaning only the uploader and those who the links were shared with could view the file.

## History

On August 1, 2017, Mozilla launched Firefox Send via its Test Pilot program. The developers wanted to experiment with end-to-end encrypted data syncing and this service allowed them to try out encrypting large files, gigabytes in size, as opposed to the megabytes usually synced by browsers.
Firefox Send was launched to the public on March 12, 2019. On July 7, 2020, the service was suspended after the discovery that cybercriminals abused it to spread malware and mount spear phishing attacks. Developers attributed these problems to the absence of any form of authentication and the lack of abuse reporting mechanisms. Developers planned to resume service after implementing mandatory authentication via Firefox Account for file uploading and creating malware reporting mechanisms.
On September 17, 2020, as a part of Mozilla's business and products refocusing plans, the service was shut down permanently, along with Firefox Notes. The shutdown followed employee lay-offs in August that likely included the staff who would have been responsible for implementing abuse prevention and malware reporting mechanisms.
On July 28, 2023, Thunderbird has announced resurrecting Firefox Send as Thunderbird Send.
# Turning (novel)

Turning is a young adult novel by Joy L. Smith, published in 2022 by Denene Millner Books, an imprint of Simon & Schuster. The novel centers around Genie, a talented ballerina whose career is ended after a paraplegia-causing accident.

## Summary

Turning follows Genie, a promising Black ballerina, following a career-ending fall from a rooftop caused her to become paraplegic. Now, instead of focusing on her career, Genie now attends physical therapy regularly, deals with accessibility issues, and manages interpersonal relationships, such as those with her toxic ex-boyfriend and her overbearing mother. As the novel progresses, Genie meets Kyle, a former gymnast with a traumatic brain injury, in physical therapy, and she begins considering a new future in choreography.

## Characters

* Genie: the protagonist
* Genie's mom: a recovering alcoholic who had Genie when she was a teenager
* Genie's father: estranged and abusive
* Hannah: Genie's former best friend, along with Maya, and a Latinx ballerina
* Maya: Genie's former best friend, along with Hannah
* Nolan: Genie's Black, toxic ex-boyfriend
* Kyle: a brown-skinned former gymnast with a traumatic brain injury Genie meets in physical therapy

## Themes

Turning explores themes related to "family, identity, and discrimination in ballet".

## Reception

School Library Journal's Mindy Rhigor called Turning "a compelling and emotional story" that "deftly handles complex topics such as accessibility, race, abortion, domestic violence, and sobriety/recovery". Kirkus Reviews added that the novel "provides "a nuanced portrayal of disability, dance, and starting over".
Publishers Weekly highlighted how "Smith depicts via an unbridled first-person narration [Genie's] growing proficiency adjusting to her emotional and physical needs, her deep-rooted love of dance, and her recurring disbelief at how swiftly her life changed, while suspensefully revealing the nature of Nolan's role in Genie's fall".
Multiple reviewers discussed Genie's character, with Kirkus noting that her "voice realistically alternates between snarky and vulnerable". Similarly, Rhiger found that Genie's "grief" and "anger ... are raw and real". However, Publishers Weekly indicated that "Genie can come across as one-note".
Booklist also reviewed the novel.
# Saky

Saky (Ukrainian and Russian: Саки; Crimean Tatar: Saq) is a city in Crimea. Although it is the administrative centre of the Saky Raion, it does not belong to the raion (district), serving instead as the center and the only locality of Saky Municipality. Population: 25,146 (2014 Census).

## History

The exact origin of the present town of Saky is unknown. At the time of the Crimean Khanate, Saky was a small village. In 1805, Saky had less than 400 people, more than 95 percent of whom were Crimean Tatars. In 1827, the first bathhouse was built and ten years later an office of the military hospital of Simferopol.
During the Crimean War, the allied forces landed near Saky between Saky Lake and Kyzyl-Yar Lake and besieged Sevastopol. At the beginning of February 1855, the troops of General Stepan Aleksandrovich Khroulev focused on Saky before attacking the enemy in the fortifications of Evpatoria. The village was completely destroyed by bombing.
After the Crimean War, during the second wave of emigration of Crimean Tatars, the Tatar population of Saky abandoned the ruined village. In 1858, migrants from the region of Poltava settled there, followed a little later by the Greeks of Constantinople.
In February 1945, the British and American delegations at the Yalta conference landed at Saky Airport.
Saky city council member Oleg Kolodyazhny (Our Ukraine) was shot dead in Saky on June 29, 2010.
A series of explosions occurred at the nearby Saky air base on August 9, 2022.

# .356 TSW

The .356 TSW (Team Smith & Wesson) / 9x21mm TSW is a centerfire pistol cartridge designed by Smith & Wesson in the early 1990s.

## Design

The .356 TSW is similar in size to a 9×19mm Parabellum or a 9×21mm (21.59 mm exactly) albeit with a much stronger case allowing for higher pressure and as much as 40% more energy at the muzzle. It was designed to be used in IPSC shooting events, but rule modifications specifically addressing its advantages were hurriedly established to make it irrelevant for competition. Due to renewed interest as a superior cartridge to 357 SIG, new production ammunition and caliber conversion kits for Glock 17 (Gen 1-4) and 19 (Gen 1-5) pistols became available in 2020.
# Fay Ray (band)

Fay Ray were a Welsh new wave band who were active from 1979 to 1982. The band formed in Bangor in north-west Wales in 1979 and despite rumours to the contrary were not named after the dog of photographer William Wegman.
The band was signed by producer Nigel Gray to his Surrey Sounds label, and they released a single, "Family Affairs", in 1980.
The single "Family Affairs" was one of three records of the week selected by Lynden Barber in his "Essential Buys" column in Melody Maker; the other two being "Reward" by the Teardrop Explodes and "I'm in Love with a German Film Star" by the Passions. However, as a small independent label, Surrey Sound did not have the distribution network in place to capitalise on this success; it was not in the shops to buy.
It did, however help spark the interest of Fred Hyam of Elektra Records. Following a chance meeting with the band's prospective manager at the annual MIDEM record business festival in 1981, Fay Ray were then signed to WEA. The band recorded their debut album Contact You with Gray and it was released in 1982, preceded by the single "(Waiting for the) Heatwave". Two music videos were made for songs from the album, "Heatwave" and "Modern Lovers".
The band also recorded two live performances of "Heatwave" and "Contact You" in summer 1982 at the BBC Television Centre as part of a show made about music in Bangor, Gwynedd by the BBC Community Programmes Unit and The Gwynedd Union of Musicians.
Despite some commercial success in the US and in Europe, including an appearance on episode 71 of Germany's Musikladen (the German equivalent of the UK's Top of the Pops) on 20 May 1982, sales of Contact You in the UK were poor. A second album had already been recorded but was not released when the label dropped the band. Disillusioned with the music business, the band split up shortly afterwards.
In 2018, due to increased attention to their music via the Internet, the band reissued a remastered Contact You on CD, with five bonus tracks and new sleeve notes.
On 23 March 2022, band members announced that guitarist John Lovering died on 21 March 2022, following a long illness.

* Sheila Macartney – lead vocals, guitar, organ, tambourine
