# Sunda Islands

The Sunda Islands (Indonesian: Kepulauan Sunda; Tetun: Illa Sunda) are a group of islands in the Nusantara (Indonesian Archipelago). They consist of the Greater Sunda Islands and the Lesser Sunda Islands.

## Etymology

"Sunda" denotes the continental shelves or landmasses: the Sunda Shelf in the west and the Sahul/Arafuru Shelf in the east. Other terms associated with "Sunda" include the Sunda Island Arc or the arc of Sunda Islands, Sunda Fold or tectonic folding in the Natuna Sea, the Sunda Trench, and Sundaland.
The term "Sunda" has been traced back to ancient times. The name "Sunda" originates from the Sanskrit word "Cuddha," meaning white. During the Pleistocene era, there was a large volcano named Mount Sunda located north of Bandung in West Java. Its eruption covered the surrounding area with white volcanic ash, giving rise to the name "Sunda." The use of the term "Sunda" to refer to the Indonesian region dates back to the claims of Claudius Ptolemaeus in 150 AD.
In the 16th century, the Portuguese established diplomatic relations with the Sunda Kingdom and mapped the territory of the Sunda Kingdom and its surroundings. They categorized the region into Greater Sunda (Sunda Besar) for the larger western islands and Lesser Sunda (Sunda Kecil) for the smaller eastern islands. Since then, the term "Sunda" has been widely adopted in earth sciences (geology-geography) as a reference for the Indonesian region, surpassing the usage of "Indonesia" in this field. The terms Greater Sunda and Lesser Sunda are commonly used in geological-geographical literature.

## Administration

The Sunda Islands are divided among five countries: Brunei, East Timor, Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia. The majority of these islands fall under the jurisdiction of Indonesia. Borneo is split among Brunei, Indonesia, and Malaysia. Timor is split between East Timor and Indonesia. Sebatik is split between Indonesia and Malaysia.

# Kurdybań Warkowicki

Kurdybań Warkowicki, or Kurdyban–Warkowicki, was a Polish village in Wołyń Voivodeship (1921–1939) before the joint Nazi German and Soviet invasions of Poland in 1939. It was located near the town of Warkowicze (Ukrainian: Варковичi) in Dubno County, in the eastern part of the Second Polish Republic (now, in Ukraine). The village was eradicated during the Polish population transfers after World War II, when the Kresy macroregion was formally incorporated into the Soviet Union.

## World War II

The village was a site of an OUN-UPA ethnic cleansing operation against the Polish civilians, led by the Ukrainian Military Group No. 02 called the "Bohun" during the wave of massacres of Poles in Volhynia between 1942 and 1945. The Polish self-defence unit managed to hold its position there until the arrival of the Red Army in 1944. The witnesses consider such survival remarkable with no German outposts and no Polish partisans in its vicinity. Unlike neighbouring settlements, Kurdybań was not surrounded by the forest; therefore, the UPA units had no place to hide against its defenders equipped with a heavy machine gun disassembled from a Soviet tank destroyed by the Germans. The Kurdybań provided refuge for Jewish families escaping the Holocaust in its vicinity. The local self-defence was made up of around 60 men including 25 Polish Jews.
Most Polish self-defence units across the province fell — unable to defend the population against the genocide. Kurdybań Warkowicki was one of the only a handful of surviving units, among them: Młynów (now Mlyniv), Lubomirka, Klewań, Rokitno (in the Pinsk Marshes), Budki Snowidowickie and Osty. The settlement no longer exists. It was liquidated likely during the Polish population transfers (1944–46).
# Mount Churchill (British Columbia)

Mount Churchill is a mountain summit located in British Columbia, Canada.

## Description

Mount Churchill is a 1,996-meter-elevation (6,549-foot) peak situated 100 kilometers (62 miles) northwest of Vancouver, in the Sunshine Coast region, and is part of the Coast Mountains. Precipitation runoff from Mount Churchill drains to Jervis Inlet via Glacial Creek and High Creek. Mount Churchill is more notable for its steep rise than for its absolute elevation. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises 1,996 meters (6,549 feet) above tidewater of Jervis Inlet in five kilometers (3.1 miles).

## Etymology

The mountain was named in 1860 by Sir George Henry Richards, probably after Francis Spencer, 1st Baron Churchill (1779–1845), the youngest son of George Spencer, 4th Duke of Marlborough. The mountain's toponym was officially adopted March 31, 1924, by the Geographical Names Board of Canada.

## Climate

Based on the Köppen climate classification, Mount Churchill is located in the marine west coast climate zone of western North America. Most weather fronts originate in the Pacific Ocean, and travel east toward the Coast Mountains where they are forced upward by the range (Orographic lift), causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall. As a result, the Coast Mountains experience high precipitation, especially during the winter months in the form of snowfall. Temperatures in winter can drop below −20 °C with wind chill factors below −30 °C.

# Rue des Archers

The Rue des Archers (French pronunciation:) is a street located in the 2nd arrondissement of Lyon, in the Cordeliers quarter. It is near the Place Bellecour. The traffic goes from the Rue Édouard-Herriot to the place des Célestins, and is regulated on the part leading to the Rue de la République. The zone is served by the metro station Bellecour of the line A and the buses 91 and 99.

## History

The street was named after a barracks of royal archers. Indeed, the company of archers had its headquarters in a building in the Cour des Archers. The last vestige of that courtyard is a small vaulted alley located at 10 rue de Confort. The Hôtel des Archers has a modern facade.
The Jacobin monks occupied the location from the 13th century and were dislodged during the French Revolution. The prefecture was established in the street in 1818 and remained here until 1852. The street was created in the mid-19th century and has never been modified since its opening on the Place des Jacobins. In 1827, there were 41 looms. The section between the Rue Émile-Zola and the Place des Célestins was called Passage Couderc as tribute to a deputy of the Rhône, and was abolished in 1873. Five years later, this section was incorporated to the Rue des Archers. In 1923, there were 19 numbers of buildings. The number 3 was built by Henry Feuga, then bequeathed to the Hospices. The numbers 9 and 10 were built under the direction of Casimir Echenier. On 13 August 1829, several five-floor houses were destroyed by a fire and the mayor gave 18,000 francs to the disaster-strickens.
Necker studied the market principles in this street.
At No. 17, the decorative exuberance of the second floor is typical of many office buildings that were built when new streets were created.

# Prime Minister's Security Division

Prime Minister's Security Division (PMSD) is a unit of the Sri Lanka Police charged with the close protection of the Prime Minister of Sri Lanka. It is headed by a gazetted officer of the rank of Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG). The unit consists of both uniformed and non-uniformed officers who provide close protection and guard Prime Ministerial residences.

## History

With the formation of the office of the Prime Minister of Ceylon, an ASP or an IP was assigned for the personal protection of prime minister with a small detachment of police constables, who were usually armed with Lee–Enfield rifles to guard Temple Trees. These policemen lacked special training in close protection. This was highlighted when Prime Minister S W R D Bandaranaike was assassinated at his private residence by Talduwe Somarama. Following the assassination, security was enhanced with a detachment of the Ceylon Army including Ferret armoured cars of the Ceylon Armoured Corps. The need for specialized independent unit was once again highlighted when personal from the internal security detail of the Royal Ceylon Navy, the Provost Branch were brought to guard Temple Trees on the night of 27 January 1962 when the attempted military coup by senior police and military officers was due to be launched. In 1970, the security of the prime minister was assigned to the Field Security Detachment of the Ceylon Army.
With the creation of the Executive Presidency in 1978 the Prime Minister ceased to be the head of government. This reduced the power of the post, however with the escalation of political associations as a result of the Sri Lankan civil war and the JVP Uprising (1988-1989) the security of the Prime Minister increased. For this purpose the Prime Minister's Security Division was officially created in the 1990s with specially trained police officers and Special Task Force personnel attached to it.
On January 5, 2000, personal of the PMSD prevented an assassination attempt by a female suicide bomber of the LTTE, the bomber detonated the bomb outside the Prime Minister's Office killing 13 civilians and three police officers attached to the PMSD.
# Lungi Dance

"Lungi Dance" is a 2013 Indian song single composed and sung by Indian rapper Yo Yo Honey Singh for the soundtrack of the 2013 Indian masala film Chennai Express, starring Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone. The song is a tribute to Indian actor Rajinikanth.
The soundtrack was officially released on 1 July 2013.

## Release

"Lungi Dance" was released as the ninth single from the album. The launch of the original music of the film took place in Mumbai, where performances were seen by the film's music directors and cast members. The star-studded event's telecast rights were sold to a TV channel for INR48 crore (US$7.7 million). The song is said to have significantly more popularised the lungi, a traditional dress in India.

## Lyrics

The song was composed by Yo Yo Honey Singh, as a tribute to Indian movie actor Rajinikanth.

## Critical response

"Lungi Dance" received mainly mixed reviews from critics in India. Mohar Basu of Koimoi wrote in his review, "I am quite assured that not every Rajni fan has Lungi as their favorite attire and neither will they appreciate Lassi in their coconut! Not that I was expecting meaning in the lyrics of the song, but the song's words are as meaningless as the aimless Deepika Padukone shaking her leg in this too-desperate-to-be-funny song." The Firstpost review said, "I may have to go swallow some Kafka and Faulkner after this column to feel smart again, but at least I know that I have done my Patient Zero duty in spreading the Lungi Dance virus. Thalaivar, everyone!

## Controversy

The film's music composing duo, Vishal–Shekhar, were under the impression that they were the only musicians working on Chennai Express. Meanwhile, Honey Singh was asked by the film director to perform in the promotional song of "Lungi Dance". When rumours surfaced about Honey Singh's involvement, Vishal Dadlani tweeted, "It's hilarious and pathetic how desperately this tacky rape-rapper is trying to ride on the fame of SRK and Chennai Express (sic)". The rumour turned out to be true and the composers felt cheated. Dadlani and Shekhar Ravjiani did not promote the film's music nor attended the film's promos.

## Parody version

Stand-up comedian Aravind SA created a parody of the song called "Chapathi Song".

# Foster Edwards

Foster Hamilton "Eddie" Edwards (September 1, 1903 – January 4, 1980) was an American professional baseball pitcher who appeared in 56 games in Major League Baseball, 54 for the Boston Braves (1925–28) and two for the New York Yankees (1930). He batted and threw right-handed, and was listed as 6 feet 3 inches (1.91 m) tall and 175 pounds (79 kg). He was born in Holstein, Iowa.
Edwards attended Dartmouth College. He appeared in his first MLB game in his maiden professional season. On July 2, 1925, at Ebbets Field, he entered a lopsided content with his Braves trailing the Brooklyn Robins 15–2 in the seventh inning; he permitted five more runs in his two innings of work, but only two were earned, as Brooklyn romped 20–7. In 1926, his sophomore season in pro ball, he led the high-level Eastern League in games won (25) and posted an excellent 2.95 earned run average. In September, Edwards started three games for the Braves and came away with two victories and one no-decision, defeating the Chicago Cubs September 15 (3–1) and the Pittsburgh Pirates on the 23rd (2–1).
Edwards then spent 1927 as a member of the Boston pitching staff—his only full season in the majors. He appeared in 33 games, but struggled against National League hitters, winning only two of ten decisions with a subpar 4.99 ERA. The 1928 campaign saw him spend 21 games with the Braves and seven with the Buffalo Bisons of the International League. He went 2–1 with the Braves, but again was ineffective with a 5.66 earned run average and a WHIP of 1.824.
Edwards was out of baseball in 1929, but in 1930 he returned for one final campaign. In two early-season games for the Yankees, he was treated harshly in relief by the Boston Red Sox and Philadelphia Athletics, and spent the bulk of the year in the International League, with the Baltimore Orioles.
Altogether, in his 56 MLB contests, he compiled a 6–9 won–lost record and a 4.76 earned run average, with four complete games in 17 starts. He allowed 193 hits and 84 bases on balls in 170 innings pitched, with 60 strikeouts.
Foster Edwards died at age 76 in Barnstable, Massachusetts, on January 4, 1980.

# José Rufino Reyes y Siancas

José Rufino Reyes y Siancas, also known as Jose Reyes (November 15, 1836 – January 31, 1905) was a Dominican composer, best known for composing the current Dominican national anthem. Among his other works are compositions of waltzes and marches. He also composed secular and religious music.

## Biography

José Rufino Reyes y Siancas was born in Santo Dominigo, Dominican Republic, on November 15, 1836. He was the son of Rafael Reyes, a poor retailer, and María Merced Siancas. Reyes had two siblings, Manuel María Reyes Siancas (born 1821), and Francisco Reyes Siancas. Reyes had no formal education and was raised in cottage dwelling. Reyes served as a military soldier, where he first studied music, with the director of the military band, Juan Bautista Alfonseca. He learned various musical instruments, with primary focus on the cello.

## National anthem

In 1882, alongside Emilio Prud'Homme, he composed the music for what would later become the national anthem of the Dominican Republic. The following year on August 7th, he premiered the composition in celebration of the twentieth anniversary of the restoration of the Republic with lyrics written by Prud'Homme, during a ceremony held at the Lodge La Esperanza. The composition was then again performed on February 27, 1884, in honor of Juan Pablo Duarte in the theater of the Republic during the occasion of the arrival of Duarte's remains in the country, which were deposited in the Chapel of the Immortals.Today his face is on the 2,000 Dominican peso bill next to Emilio Prud'Homme
In 1885, the composition received its greatest public praise when it was performed by the military band teacher Betances, in the Cathedral Square and its popularity then increased on the fiftieth anniversary of the Republic. In 1896 it was nominated to be the official anthem of the country unsuccessfully. On 7 June 1897, the Congress of the Dominican Republic passed an act adopting "Himno Nacional" with the original music and revised lyrics as the country's official national anthem; however, then-President Ulises Heureaux (1846–1899) vetoed the act because the lyric's author, Prud'homme, was an opponent of the president and his administration.

## Death

José Rufino Reyes died on January 31, 1905, without seeing the national anthem being formalized. His remains were laid to rest by the words of Federico Henriquez y Carvajal. In 1916, the Congress tried once again without results to formalize the anthem. Eventually on May 3, 1934, due to a message sent to Congress by the dictator Rafael Leonidas Trujillo, a law was passed which established Reyes' composition as the official anthem of the Dominican Republic.
