# Kayotsarga

Kayotsarga (Sanskrit: कायोत्सर्ग Kāyotsarga, Jain Prakrit: काउस्सग्ग Kāussagga) is a yogic posture which is an important part of the Jain meditation. It literally means "dismissing the body". A tirthankara is represented either seated in yoga posture or standing in the kayotsarga posture. Kayotsarga means "to give up one's physical comfort and body movements", thus staying steady, either in a standing or other posture, and concentrating upon the true nature of the soul. It is one of the six essentials (avasyaka) of a Jain ascetic and one of the 28 primary attributes of a Jain monks and nuns.
Twenty-one of the tīrthankaras of Jainism are said to have attained moksha in the kayotsarga “standing meditation” posture. An example of unflinching standing meditation is that of Arihant Bahubali who is said to have stood in kayotsarga for a year.

## Sāmayika

In performing sāmayika (daily meditation), the śrāvaka has to stand facing north or east and bow to the Pancha-Parameṣṭhi. He then sit down and recites the Namokara mantra a certain number of times, and finally devotes himself to holy meditation. This consists of:
* pratikramana, recounting the sins committed and repenting for them,
* pratyākhyanā, resolving to avoid particular sins in future,
* sāmayika karma, renunciation of personal attachments, and the cultivation of a feeling of regarding every body and thing alike,
* stuti, praising the twenty-four Tīrthankaras,
* vandanā, devotion to a particular Tirthankara, and
* kāyotsarga, withdrawal of attention from the body (physical personality) and becoming absorbed in the contemplation of the spiritual Self.

# Hamada Madi

Hamada Madi, widely known as "Boléro", is a Comorian politician, former Prime Minister and interim President. He was Secretary General of the Indian Ocean Commission between 2016 and 2020.

## Biography

Born on the island of Mohéli in 1965, he gained a degree in constitutional law in Ukraine and worked as a political adviser in Comoros, becoming secretary general of the Comoros Republican Party.
Before being appointed Prime Minister on 29 November 2000, he served as Secretary General for Defense in the Presidency and played a leading role in peace negotiations with Anjouan, leading to the Fomboni Accords [fr; pt]. In January 2002, it was agreed, despite some opposition, that he would replace Colonel Azali Assoumani as interim head of state and oversee the Transitional Government of National Unity in the run-up to the legislative and presidential elections. Due to his Mohélian origins, he was ineligible to run for the union presidency in 2002, when the first four-year term was reserved for a Grande Comorian. After the return of Azali to the presidency in May 2002, Hamada Madi was kept on as special advisor without portfolio with Union cabinet status.
After waiting several months Bolero got the permission from the Presidency in April 2007 to leave the country.
In 2016 Modi became Secretary General of the Indian Ocean Commission. He was succeeded on 16 July 2020 by Vêlayoudom Marimoutou [fr].

He was a member of the 1927 and 1928 New York Yankees teams that won consecutive World Series championships. Grabowski was one of a number of American athletes in the first half of the 20th century to be nicknamed "Nig", being referred to as such in newspaper reports as early as October 1924.

## Early years

Grabowski was born in Ware, Massachusetts, in 1900 to a family of Polish descent.

## Professional baseball

Grabowski began his professional baseball career in 1922 with the St. Joseph Saints, then spent 1923 and 1924 with the Minneapolis Millers of the American Association. He was traded to the Chicago White Sox in July 1924 and made his major league debut that month. Grabowski played for the White Sox for three years, from 1924 to 1926, appearing in 89 games, 78 of them as a catcher. One of the games Grabowski caught was Ted Lyons' no-hitter on August 21, 1926.
In January 1927, the White Sox traded Grabowski to the New York Yankees. He had his best season for the 1927 "Murderer's Row" New York Yankees, considered by some to be the best baseball team in history. Grabowski appeared in 70 games for the 1927 Yankees, sharing the catching duty with Pat Collins and Benny Bengough in 1927. Grabowski had a .350 on-base percentage for the 1927 Yankees. He remained with the Yankees through the 1929 season and won two World Series championships with the Yankees in 1927 and 1928.
After spending 1930 with the St. Paul Saints, Grabowski returned to the major leagues in 1931 with the Detroit Tigers. He appeared in 40 games with the Tigers, 39 as a catcher. He appeared in his last major league game in September 1931. In seven major league seasons, Grabowski appeared in 296 games, 282 as a catcher, and compiled a career .252 batting average and .295 on-base percentage.
Grabowski concluded his playing career playing for the Montreal Royals of the International League in 1932 and 1933.

## Later years

After retiring as a player, Grabowski became an umpire in the Canadian–American League (1937), Eastern League (1938–1939), and International League (1940–1941). He suffered severe burns in 1946 after a fire at his home in Guilderland, New York. He died of his injuries at St. Peter's Hospital in Albany, New York, at age 46.

# IFPI Sverige

IFPI Sverige (sometimes referred to as IFPI Sweden; Swedish: Ifpi Sverige) is the trade association for the recording industry in Sweden. A branch of the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), it is responsible for the annual Grammis music awards, the Sverigetopplistan national record charts, and music recording certifications. Unlike other IFPI members, however, IFPI Sverige is also a music licensing company.

## History

The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) was founded in Rome in 1933, while IFPI Sverige was established in 1934 as one of the first national groups of the IFPI. Not much has been published about the organisation's first three decades until the 1960s; from 1963–1967, record sales in Sweden more than tripled and record labels became more important. The first Grammis ceremony was held in 1969 and they have been awarded annually ever since, except when they were discontinued in 1973–1987. In 1993, IFPI Sverige helped to establish Export Music Sweden [sv]. In 1999, IFPI Sverige began its first efforts against file sharing and music piracy. In 2013, its name changed from IFPI Svenska Gruppen to IFPI Sverige, accompanied by a new logo and rebranding. In 2024, the organisation moved to a new location at Katarinahuset [sv] in Stockholm's Slussen, after previous locales on Tegnérgatan [sv], Birger Jarlsgatan, Ankdammsgatan in Solna, and Rödabergsgatan.

* Video albums: 5,000 for gold, 10,000 for platinum
* Folk, jazz, classical, or children's music: 10,000 for gold, 20,000 for platinum
Certifications for songs are based solely on streams, whereas certifications for albums are based on a combination of streams, digital downloads, and physical sales. Remixes of songs count toward the original song, while albums must contain at least five different tracks. Different versions of an album are counted together if at least 70% of tracks match the original.
