Semnani (سمنی زفون, Semani zefön) (known also as Komisenian languages) is one of the local languages of the Semnan Province of Iran. Despite the common misconception that Semnani is a Persian dialect, the language belongs to the Northwestern branch of the Western Iranian languages. Like other Caspian languages, it bears some resemblance to the Old Iranian Median language and was influenced by Parthian in a later process.

John Richardson Selwyn (20 May 1844 – 12 February 1898) was an Anglican priest who became the second Bishop of Melanesia and then the second Master of Selwyn College, Cambridge.

Life
Selwyn was born in Waimate North, New Zealand, the youngest son of George Augustus Selwyn and his wife Sarah Harriet, the only daughter of Sir John Richardson. His father was the first Bishop of New Zealand and then Bishop of Lichfield, in whose memory Selwyn College, Dunedin and Selwyn College, Cambridge were named. 

Selwyn was educated at Eton College and Trinity College, Cambridge, graduating in 1866. Like his father, Selwyn rowed for Cambridge and took part in the Boat Races of 1864 and 1866, both of which were won by Oxford. In 1864, with Robert Kinglake, he won the Silver Goblets at Henley Royal Regatta, beating Edwin Brickwood and his brother in the final.

Selwyn was ordained deacon by his father at Lichfield Cathedral in 1869 and became a priest the following year. He served as curate of All Saints Church, Alrewas, Staffordshire from 1869 to 1870, then curate of St George's Church, Wolverhampton from 1870 to 1871, before promotion to Vicar of St George's. In 1873 Selwyn travelled to Melanesia as a missionary, and four years later was consecrated Bishop of Melanesia.

He made significant financial contributions to the construction of the ship Southern Cross No. 4, serving the Melanesian Mission.

Illness forced him to return to England in 1891. Selwyn was appointed the second master of Selwyn College, Cambridge, in 1893. He held this position until he moved to Pau, France, at the beginning of 1898 on account of bad health. He died in Pau on 12 February 1898 within two weeks of his arrival and is buried there.

From 1892 to 1895 he also served as an Honorary Chaplain to the Queen.

Selwyn married Clara Long-Innes and, after her death in 1877, Annie Catherine, eldest daughter of Thomas Sutcliffe Mort, the Australian industrialist.

The south-east window of the chapel of Selwyn College was dedicated to the memory of John Selwyn in 1900.

His son George Augustus Selwyn is buried at the Parish of the Ascension Burial Ground in Cambridge; he died in 1912, aged 16.

Selwyn is listed in the calendar of saints of the Church of the Province of Melanesia.

Chu Yiu-ming (, born 10 January 1944 in Hong Kong) is the minister of Chai Wan Baptist Church in Hong Kong. He is one of the founders of the Occupy Central campaign for universal suffrage in the 2017 Hong Kong Chief Executive election.

Biography

Early life
Chu Yiu-ming first lived in mainland China, then settled in Hong Kong. Chu Yiu-ming was baptized in Christianity in Hong Kong, and worked in a local Baptist church in the poor Hong Kong's  Chai Wan district to help drug addict and gang members redress. There Chu Yiu-ming was also a supporter of creation of public hospitals as well as helped Chinese dissidents after the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests.

Operation Yellowbird 

After 1989 Tiananmen Square protests, Chu led a mission dubbed Operation Yellowbird to secretly move persecuted dissidents from mainland China to places overseas via Hong Kong.

Occupy Central 

Chu and 8 other activists were convicted on 9 April 2019 for events towards the Occupy Central and Umbrella Movement protests in 2014. Chu was given a suspended sentence while his other two allies Benny Tai and Chan Kin-man were immediately put in jail for 16 months.

“We strive for democracy, because democracy strives for freedom, equality, and universal love. Political freedom is more than loyalty to the state. It professes human dignity. Every single person living in a community possesses unique potentials and powers, capable of making a contribution to society. Human right is a God-given gift, never to be arbitrarily taken away by any political regime,” he said during the sentencing hearing.

Family
Chu Yiu-ming's son, Samuel Chu, an American political activist, was born in Hong Kong in 1978, and has lived since the 1990s in the United States of America. He is a founder and managing director of Hong Kong Democracy Council, located in Washington, D.C. On 2 August 2020, China Central Television said that Samuel Chu and five other Hongkongers were wanted by Hong Kong police for allegedly inciting secession and collusion with foreign governments to endanger Chinese security, the crimes cited in the new Chinese law, enacted on 30 June 2020 by the communist government of China.

The 20th Continental Regiment was a unit of the Connecticut Line in the 1776 establishment of the Continental Army.  It was often referred to in records as Durkee's Regiment, after Colonel John Durkee, its commanding officer for most of its existence, or incorrectly as the 20th Connecticut Regiment.  The regiment was posted in New Jersey during the early stages of the New York and New Jersey campaign.  The regiment retreated with George Washington's army in late 1776, and then participated in the Battle of Trenton.  Some of its men chose to overstay their enlistment and also saw action in the Battle of the Assunpink Creek and the Battle of Princeton in early 1777.

The first colonel of the regiment was Benedict Arnold, but he never actually commanded the regiment, as he was in Quebec at the time of its creation, and he was soon thereafter promoted to brigadier general.  John Durkee was its first lieutenant colonel, and was promoted and made the regiment's colonel in August 1776.

The Piano Concerto No. 2 in F minor, Op. 21, is a piano concerto composed by Frédéric Chopin in fall 1829.  Chopin composed the piece before he had finished his formal education, at around 20 years of age.  It was first performed on 17 March 1830, in Warsaw, Poland, with the composer as soloist.  It was the second of his piano concertos to be published (after the Piano Concerto No. 1), and so was designated as "No. 2", even though it was written first.

Structure 

The work contains the three movements typical of instrumental concertos of the period:

A typical performance lasts around 30 to 35 minutes.

Orchestration 
Chopin's fellow composers and Prof. Elsner's former students, Ignacy Feliks Dobrzyński (1807-1867) and Tomasz Nidecki (1807-1852), are believed to have helped him orchestrate his piano concertos.  This gave an excuse for other musicians to make slight alterations in the score.  
Alfred Cortot created his own orchestration of the F minor concerto and recorded it with the London Philharmonic Orchestra under John Barbirolli in 1935. Ingolf Wunder recorded Alfred Cortot's orchestration with minor changes done by himself in 2015. More recently (in 2017), Mikhail Pletnev recorded his arrangements of both of Chopin's piano concertos, conducting the Mahler Chamber Orchestra, with pianist Daniil Trifonov.

Samyak () is an almsgiving Buddhist festival celebrated in the Kathmandu Valley in Nepal. During the ceremony which is held on a large open ground, hundreds of Dīpankara Buddha images are assembled, and gifts of different types of food are made to the Buddha images and the Buddhist community. 

Samyak is the most spectacular Newar Buddhist celebration. It is observed at different intervals in the three cities of the valley -- every 12 years in Kathmandu, every five years in Lalitpur and annually in Bhaktapur. The first documented Samyak festival in Kathmandu took place in 1015 AD (135 Nepal Era).

The festival brings together a wide cross-section of Newar society, including priests, artisans, traders, musicians and farmers. Each group has a defined role designed to highlight social harmony. The ceremony celebrates the practice of giving to the Buddhas and monks in the Newar Buddhist tradition. The Samyak festival in Kathmandu is held at Kathmandu Durbar Square and the field of Bhuikhel at the foot of Swayambhu hill.

Day One

On the first day, large images of Dipankar Buddha are brought out of sacred courtyards and private homes and displayed at Durbar Square in a row to receive offerings from devotees.

Day Two

On the second day, the statues are carried in procession to Bhuikhel and assembled on the field. Priests receive alms consisting of different kinds of sacred foods in a ceremony held in the presence of the king.

The offerings are made by members of the Uray caste group. Each subgroup performs a task that has been assigned by tradition. 

 Tuladhars of Asan sew and distribute leaf plates 
 Tuladhars of Nyata cook and serve rice
 Sthapits build the wooden viewing stand 
 Tamrakars play the trumpet
 Kansakars prepare and serve five types of foods
 Sikhrakars supply clay pots
 Banias serve a sweet drink
 Selaliks serve confections

Misā Samyak

Misā Samyak, which means Women's Samyak, is held on the third day. The image of Goddess Ajimā Dyah is brought down from her shrine at Swayambhu for the ceremony.

Timetable

The regular Samyak ceremony is held at intervals of 12 years. However, a special one can be called between the scheduled occurrences by a sponsor. The most recent one took place in 2005. 

In Lalitpur, the Samyak festival is held at Nagbahal every five years. The latest one occurred in 2020.

In Bhaktapur, Samyak is celebrated annually on the feast day of Ghyah Chāku Sanlhu (Maghe Sankranti) which usually falls on January 15.
