الخشك

الخشك
قبيلة الخشك، هي قبيلة تقع في شرق آسيا وجنوب غرب آسيا. وتوجد في باكستان بشكل رئيس
التاريخ
الخشك القبيلة الجافة مؤيدًا قويًا لـ عائلة تالبور وشاركت في سلطة الحكومة البلوشية في السند. في الفترة الأخيرة من سلالة تالبور، حصل مير شير محمد خان تالبور على دعم مير محمد خان كوشك ضد الإسماعيليين.
في عام 1843، غزا مير محمد خان كوش ثاتا مع 2000 قبيلة. وقاتل الإسماعيليون باتجاه تالبور في حيدر أباد. بعد الانتصار الجاف، انضم مير محمد خان إلى القوة الرئيسية لمير شير محمد تالبور لشن عملية ضد الإسماعيليين جيرجا. وبعد سقوط عائلة تالبور، واجهت القبيلة صعوبات كبيرة وبؤسًا كبيرًا. لقد أضعفهم الراج البريطاني بسبب ولائهم لـ تالبور.
منطقة البلوش
بسبب الهجرة الواسعة لقبيلة Rind من قبيلة بلوشستان الجافة، غادرت هذه القبيلة أيضًا وطنهم وهاجروا إلى أجزاء مختلفة من باكستان. لكن موورخين صورها، وكان مير محمد خان الزعيم الأصلي لقبيلة كوشك. وبحسب بعض القضاة، سميت القبيلة بكشك أو كشك. بلدة، مكران، إحدى القرى الست التابعة لفرقة بلوشستان، وابنة قبيلة هوت من نسل بالدي. غالبًا ما ذهب إلى السند وجنوب البنجاب للتجارة.
المرجع
(1) ترد إشارة واضحة إلى الجفاف في كتاب إثيوبي على النحو التالي:
الروس البيض الجافون هم من وسط آسيا (بعض المسيحيين والمسلمين من السودان القديم / مصر) يشبهون قبيلة الحمر التي أتت إلى إثيوبيا! أيضا كتاب ج.أ. روجر "End Race Volume 1." ويذكر الأصل الأسود الجاف المعروف أيضًا باسم القوزاق (ثلاثينيات القرن الماضي) الذي كان يعمل في المصانع التي لم تموت في الثورة الروسية وعمليات القتل العرقية الأخرى، كما يعرض صورًا لهم. خوشك تشبه الآرامية / العبرية خوشك (هم) بمعنى «الظلام / الظلام». أو يمكن تقسيم القوزاق إلى كوس / كوس / كوش (S / VID) «حالة مصرية قديمة / قيس معنى» السماء المظلمة«هو نفسه في اللغتين، سوداني / إثيوبي عربي / عبري وأشوراك / سوري عربي، وبوريان هو ابن إسحاق. في اللغة العربية يطلق عليه اسم الخزرج، الجاف أحدهما، الخزرج، الخضر له فرعان أحدهما جاف والآخر أبخازي، مع العلم أن (الآن / ب) تعني» الأب الآشوري«وكلاهما في عاشوراء / السورية. العربية والآرامية / العبرية والخززية هي آشورية / آسيا الوسطى»(تعني«حساس، وقاعدة، بمعنى»(الخزرج) هي كلمة عربية سورية، «بعد انتقال روسيا إلى آسيا الوسطى») أُطلق عليَّ لقب «خضر»، والآن أعيش في أحد هذه المجموعات العرقية، الأبخاز أو الأفرو أبخازيين.
(2) كانت القبيلة الجافة المعقل الأصلي خراسان وحتى اليوم أسماء الخراساني متشابهة. كانت القبيلة الجافة موجودة بالفعل في باكستان إلى جانب السومرا والبلوش. تمامًا كما يُقال إن قبيلة البلوش جزء من قبيلة البشتون ويُطلق على الأكراد جزءًا من Paluch ، كذلك يُطلق على البلوش الجافون في باكستان.
حكمت دولة خشان باكستان أيضًا ولكن لم يتم العثور على دليل محدد حتى الآن.

Rimush of Assyria

Rimush of Assyria
Rimush or Rīmu[š], inscribed mri-mu-u[š] on the only variant List of Assyrian kings on which he appears, was the ruler of Assyria or perhaps just the part centered on Ekallatum, a successor to and probably a descendant of Shamshi-Adad I, although the exact relationship is uncertain. He reigned sometime during the middle of the 18th century BC.
Biography
Neither the Khorsabad nor SDAS copies of the Assyrian Kinglist, the only lists whose earliest part is still intact, include any successors of Shamshi-Adad I’s son and heir Ishme-Dagan I, who had been ousted by Hammurabi. The fragmentary list known as KAV 14 (pictured) gives the sequence Shamshi-Adad, Ishme-[Dagān], [Mu]t-Ashkur, then Rimu-˹x˺ before skipping to the 54th ruler, Shu-Ninua. There may be sufficient space to insert a successor to Rimudh (Asinum?) on the end of the line his name is given. As the group falls within a section separated by lines from the rest of the list and the first three are known from other sources to be related as father, son and grandson, it is assumed that the four or five names form a dynasty.
Rimush would appear to be named for the son of the legendary king Sargon of Akkad, perhaps reflecting the extent to which Shamshi-Adad and his successors identified with this ancient prestigious dynasty, although the earlier Rimush was apparently assassinated by his own courtiers “with their seals,” according to a liver-omen of the monumental Bārûtu series, a somewhat ignominious end. The events resulting in the demise of the dynasty are witnessed in only one inscription, that of Puzur-Sin, who boasted of overthrowing the son of Asīnûm, descendant of Šamši-Adad, whose name has not been preserved. This may have been Rīmuš, or if Asīnû followed him, perhaps his grandson. The result was apparently turmoil as a rapid succession of seven usurpers took power, each reigning briefly before being overthrown.

Burundi at the 2012 Summer Olympics
Burundi competed at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, United Kingdom from 27 July to 12 August 2012. This was the nation's fifth appearance at the Olympics.
Comité National Olympique du Burundi sent a total of six athletes to the Games, 4 women and 2 men, to compete only in athletics, judo, and swimming. Swimmer Elsie Uwamahoro was the only athlete in the team to participate in her second Olympics. Marathon runner Diane Nukuri, the oldest athlete of the team, made an Olympic comeback in London after a twelve-year absence, and reprised her role as Burundi's flag bearer at the opening ceremony.
Burundi, however, failed to win a single Olympic medal in London. Track runner Francine Niyonsaba qualified for the final rounds in the women's 800 metres, but narrowly missed out of the nation's first ever medal after 16 years, finishing abruptly in seventh place.

Stronghold Crusader II

Stronghold Crusader II is a real-time strategy video game, developed by Firefly Studios, part of the Stronghold series. It was released on September 23, 2014. It is the sequel to their 2002 title Stronghold: Crusader.
Gameplay
The first gameplay demo was given to journalists at E3 2013 and the first gameplay trailer, showing pre-alpha footage, was released at Gamescom 2013. Both the demo and trailer showed off several new aspects that the game will introduce to the series.
Features
The game is the first of the Crusader series to feature a 3D graphics engine, but does not retain all of the elements of the original 2D game while adding new features such as "new units like the cruel Slave Driver, new beefed up AI opponents, dynamic on-map events like the Locust Swarm", as well as "new visuals, a new battle interface, and engine enhancements including effects, animations, and real-time physics." A brand new feature to the series is co-op multiplayer, in which 2 players take control of a single castle to share units and resources while fighting against common enemies. Crusader II will feature both a Crusader and Arabic historical single player campaign at launch. The game will mainly be based around skirmish gameplay, similar to the original Stronghold Crusader title. This will include, as with the original Stronghold Crusader, skirmish trails; in which players need to fight through linked skirmish maps with different set-ups in a particular order. The game is expected to be based more on warfare with little but substantial government.
Extras
As with previous titles in the series, there is a full map editor for users to create and share custom maps for the game. Robert Euvino, who worked on previous titles in the series, composed an all new soundtrack for the game.
Critical reception
The game received mixed to positive reviews on release, garnering an aggregated score of 66% on Metacritic, based on 28 critics' reviews. It has been praised for striking a good balance between the economic and military aspects of the game and staying true to the series and its strategy roots. Conversely, some critics labelled the latter as "nostalgia" and felt it lacking in some areas, in comparison to contemporary strategy titles.

Thornton Wilson
Thornton "T" Arnold Wilson (February 8, 1921 – April 10, 1999) was the Chairman of the Board and chief executive officer of Boeing corporation.
Born February 8, 1921, in Sikeston, Missouri, Wilson earned his B.S. degree in Aeronautical Engineering from Iowa State University in Ames and a M.S. degree from the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena. He also attended the MIT Sloan School of Management's Sloan Fellows program, but did not graduate. While attending Iowa State, Wilson was a member of the swim team.
Wilson was awarded the NAS Award in Aeronautical Engineering in 1985 from the National Academy of Sciences. In 1992, he was the recipient of the Tony Jannus Award for his distinguished contributions to commercial aviation.
Following his graduation from Iowa State, Wilson joined Boeing in 1943 and worked on bomber programs, notably the swept-wing B-47 Stratojet and B-52 Stratofortress, and also led the proposal team that won the contract for the Minuteman missile. He became company president in 1968, chief executive officer in 1969, and chairman in 1972. Wilson stepped down as CEO in 1986 at age 65, succeeded by Frank Shrontz, and retired as chairman at the end of 1987. He died at age 78 at his winter home in Palm Springs, California.
The main glass gallery of the Museum of Flight in Seattle, opened in 1987, is named for Wilson.
Wilson was inducted into the National Aviation Hall of Fame in Dayton, Ohio in 1983.
