معرض كندا الدولي للطيران

معرض كندا الدولي للطيران
معرض الطيران الدولي الكندي، إنك|The Canadian International Air Show (CIAS) هو المعرض الجوي السنوي الذي عقد في ختام المعرض الوطني الكندي (CNE) في تورونتو منذ عام 1949. الطائرات من كندا والولايات المتحدة، فضلا عن بلدان أخرى، تؤدي على البحيرة أونتاريو لمدة ثلاثة أيام في سبتمبر.
خلفية تاريخية
كانت تورونتو موقعا للعديد من المعارض الجوية حيث تطورت المدينة إلى مركز للنقل الجوي وتصنيع الطائرات في أوائل القرن العشرين. بدأ المعرض الكندية الدولي للطيران في عام 1946 عندما اجتذبت الرابطة الوطنية للطيران في كندا الحشود المتدفقة إلى عرض في مصنع دي هافيلاند كندا في مطار دونزفيو. وبعد مرور عام على ذلك، انتقل المعرض الجوي إلى مكان المعارض في عام 1949، وأصبح سمة منتظمة لل كني في عام 1956.
في الوقت الحاضر
يجرى هذا الحدث رسميا بمناسبة عطلة عيد العمال الكندية التي تتزامن مع عطلة نهاية الاسبوع النهائية للمجلس الوطنى الكينى. ومن المقرر أن يبدأ وقت العرض في الساعة 12:00 ظهرا مع انتهاء العرض في حوالي الساعة 3:00 بعد ظهر كل يوم. تعقد دورة ممارسة سياس عادة في اليوم السابق لل سياس الرسمية، التي تجري بين الساعة 10:00 صباحا و 2: 00 مساء.
يتم تنفيذ المعرض على بحيرة أونتاريو مباشرة جنوب مكان المعرض. ويمكن أن يكون أفضل عرض من مكان المعرض أو أونتاريو بلاس، على الرغم من أن المعرض مرئيا من أي موقع آخر على البحيرة، وخاصة مارلين بيل بارك أو كوروناتيون بارك. الفنانين يطيرون من بيرسون، فضلا عن مطار الجزيرة في جزر تورونتو القريبة. الدخول إلى المعرض الجوي مجاني؛ ومع ذلك، فإن العرض من مكان المعارض يتطلب الدخول المدفوع إلى هذه المواقع.
لا يوجد عرض ثابت للطائرات. وقد تم عرض جولة صور في بيرسون في عام 1993 وعرض كامل ثابت في عام 1996. على الرغم من النجاح، تم إلغاء العرض بحلول الوقت من المعرض الجوي عام 1998.

Robert Ibáñez

Robert Ibáñez
Roberto "Rober" Ibáñez Castro (born 22 March 1993) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a right winger for Levante UD.
Club career
Born in Valencia, Valencian Community, Rober joined Valencia CF's youth setup in 2000, aged seven. He made his senior debuts for the reserves in the 2010–11 season in Tercera División, and subsequently appeared regularly with the side in Segunda División B.
In the 2014 summer, Rober was called up to the main squad by new manager Nuno Espírito Santo, also taking part of the club's Emirates Cup winning campaign. He made his first-team – and La Liga – debut on 29 August 2014, coming on as a late substitute in a 3–0 home win against Málaga CF.
On 16 January 2015, Rober was loaned to fellow league team Granada CF, until June. On 25 January 2015, he scored his first professional goal, netting the last in a 2–2 home draw against Deportivo de La Coruña.
On 13 July 2015, Rober returned to the Andalusians, in a season-long loan deal. He would only appear in 18 matches during the campaign (seven starts), as his side avoided relegation. On 31 August of the following year, he moved to fellow top tier CD Leganés, after agreeing to a one-year loan deal.
On 21 November 2016, Rober scored a double in a 2–0 home win against CA Osasuna, but suffered a serious knee injury which sidelined him for the remainder of the season. On 3 January 2018, he signed a three-and-a-half-year contract with Getafe CF still in the top tier, but was immediately loaned to Osasuna in Segunda División until June.
On 29 January 2019, after being sparingly used by Geta in the 2018–19 campaign, Rober returned to Osasuna on loan until June. On 12 August, after achieving promotion to the top tier, he signed a permanent four-year deal with the club, for a fee of € 2 million; his release clause was set at €10 million.
On 24 August 2020, Rober returned to Lega on loan for the 2020–21 season, with an obligatory buyout clause in case of promotion. He rejoined the club for a third spell on 11 January 2022, also on loan.
On 10 August 2022, Rober signed a two-year contract with Levante UD in the second level.

Takashi Matsunaga

Takashi Matsunaga
, sometimes known professionally as Takashi, is a Japanese jazz pianist and composer.
Life and career
Matsunaga was born and raised in Kobe. At the age of five he first played a piano and Hammond organ that his father had. His father also took him to jazz clubs. After winning an electric organ competition at the age of ten, Matsunaga took lessons from Tadao Kitano, who also taught Makoto Ozone. Matsunaga played his first concert as a professional when he was 15, appeared on television in 2002, then signed with Toshiba-EMI and released his first album the following year. As an 18-year-old, Matsunaga was promoted by Toshiba-EMI as "the youngest pro jazz pianist in Japan". Storm Zone, his 2004 release and debut album for Blue Note, contained only his original compositions. In 2012, he recorded for the anime Kids on the Slope, which narrates the story of two teenagers playing jazz, one piano the other drums.
Playing style
"Matsunaga has a busy, almost frenetic, bop-based playing style, with dense clusters of notes and a profusion of riffs and melodic ideas."
Composing style
A reviewer for The New York Times commented that Matsunaga composes in "various stylistic idioms, including Latin-tinged numbers [...] gentle ballads [...] and swinging tours de force".

Stealth startup

Stealth startup
A stealth startup is a type of startup company that operates in quiet and silence to outsiders, avoiding public attention. This may be done to hide information from competitors (which may include non-disclosure agreements), or as part of a marketing strategy to manage public image and generate expectations and interest from potential clients. A Stealth Startup normally only operates in stealth mode for its first few years.
The phenomenon is well known in the venture capital (VC) community. Since investors may have to disclose funding a stealth startup, their names are made public, but often only a general summary description is known about the company.
Model
Startups operating in "stealth mode" often do so to protect new ideas and intellectual property: If a startup is working on a revolutionary product that would be easy to replicate, operating as a stealth startup and not publicizing product details decreases the risk of the product being copied by other companies, as does having their employees execute NDAs. While this risk can be mitigated by patents, applying for a patent is a lengthy and expensive process, which is often not a viable option for a startup.

Xenodermus

Xenodermus javanicus, also known as the dragon snake, Javan tubercle snake, Javan mudsnake, or rough-backed litter snake, is a small non-venomous, semi-fossorial snake species belonging to the monotypic genus Xenodermus. This species is best known for their characteristic dorsal scales and interesting defense mechanism in which they stiffen their entire bodies when threatened. X. javanicus is nocturnal and subsists on a diet of frogs, tadpoles and small fish. While they are known to perish once placed into captivity, some herpetoculturists have been successful in keeping them.
Distribution and habitat
Xenodermus javanicus is found in the Malay Peninsula (Malaysia, Thailand, and one old record from the southernmost tip of Myanmar) and parts of the Greater Sunda Islands (Sumatra, Java, and Borneo, as well as some smaller islands). It inhabits damp areas near water, including forests, swamps, marshes, and rice fields, at elevations below , but most commonly between above sea level.
Description
Xenodermus javanicus has a distinct head and long tail. The body is slender and compressed. The total length is about . Males can be distinguished from females by examining the overall size, tail thickness, tail length, and cloacal vent for the presence of a hemipenial bulge. Females will be larger than males and have thinner, shorter tails while lacking a hemipenial bulge. Conversely, males will be smaller in comparison, have thicker, longer tails and exhibit a hemipenial bulge.
Differentiation of sex chromosomes and karyotype characterization
Xenodermus javanicus has an unusual chromosomal number of 2n=32, contrasting with the most typical snake karyotype with a stable chromosomal number of 2n=36. The karyotype includes heteromorphic ZZ/ZW sex chromosomes with a heterochromatic W.
Behavior
Breeding
Xenodermus javanicus undergo reproduction by egg and have low fecundity (2–4 eggs).
Activity pattern
Xenodermus javanicus are nocturnal.
Diet
Xenodermus javanicus subsist mainly on frogs, tadpoles and small fish.
Behaviors
Xenodermus javanicus exhibit a peculiar property when encountering perceived threats in which they stiffen their entire body to defend themselves. They may also emit a foul-smelling odour called musk.
Conservation status
Xenodermus javanicus are rare in the northern parts of their range, but are common in Java. There seem to be no major threats to them, and they can persist in wet agricultural lands such as rice fields. They could be potentially threatened by agricultural pollutants.

Safwan, Iraq

Safwan, Iraq
Safwan (Kurdish: سەفووان , sêfûan) is a town in southeast Iraq on the border with Kuwait. It was the site of the Safwan Air Base.
Etymology
The city of Safwan is attributed to its founder Safwan bin Assal Al Muradi Al Yamani, a companion of the Islamic prophet Muhammad who participated in the conquest of Iraq in the middle ages. He settled in Kufa, northeast of Najaf at first but then moved to Safwan, south of Basra along with his tribe who later named the city in his name.
Safwan is also part of the Az Zubayr district south of Basra and has a population of 70,000 people.
History
During Muhammad's era
Muhammad ordered a Military expedition in Safwan. The expedition was ordered by Muhammad after he received intelligence that Kurz ibn Jabir al-Fihri rustled some grazing cattle belonging to Muslims. It occurred directly after the Invasion of Waddan in the year 2 AH of the Islamic calendar. The expedition was ordered by Muhammad after he received intelligence that Kurz ibn Jabir al-Fihri rustled some grazing cattle belonging to Muslims. Therefore, Muhammad directed about 70 Muslims, who chased him to Safwan, at the outskirts of Badr. But Kurz ibn Jabir al-Fihri managed to escape.
Persian Gulf War
Safwan is located in the south of Iraq at Iraqi Kuwaiti border, along the infamous Highway of Death from the Gulf War. The cease-fire negotiations between General Norman Schwarzkopf and the Iraqi delegation led by Lieutenant General Sultan Hashim Ahmad took place at Safwan airfield. Schwarzkopf's demand to hold the formal cease-fire negotiations in Iraqi territory led to the encounter between the 1st squadron, 4th Cavalry regiment (Quarterhorse) from Ft. Riley, Ks. of the U.S. 1st Infantry Division (Mechanized) and the Iraqi Republican Guard, known in military circles as The Ultimatum. This was detailed in the book Third Graders At War, as well as the book Road to Safwan.
