The Anyang funerary bed (Chinese: 安阳北齐石棺), also known locally as the Bed of Ts'ao Ts'ao (from the Chinese hero Cao Cao), is a Chinese funerary couch belonging to a Sogdian merchant and official active in China in the 6th century CE. The tomb was discovered in 1911, and the components of the funerary bed were dispersed among various museums in the world after being offered on the art market. It is thought the funerary bed was excavated in Anyang (ancient Zhangdefu), capital of the Northern Qi dynasty. It is stylically dated to the Northern Qi dynasty (550–577 CE).

The tomb
There are eight known components of this funerary monument: a dais and two cornices with notched ends, now in the Freer Gallery of Art, a pair of gates, now in the Museum of East Asian Art (Cologne), two rectangular slab in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, and one slab in the Guimet Museum in Paris.

The funerary bed is important to Sogdian art and culture, as it is decorated with musicians in the typical Sogdian attire and with a Buddhist scene including deities. The ensemble of Sogdian musicians includes two lute players, a flutist, two drummers and a cymbal player, as well as two dancers. Two stretchers once attached to the bed showed what the Chinese called a huxuan wu (胡旋舞), i.e. "Sogdian Whirl dance", which was enormously popular in China, and appears on many Chinese tombs. Tang sources confirm the dance's popularity. It was performed at court by the Tang Chinese emperor Xuanzong and his favorite concubine.

Gustina Scaglia was the first to recognize in 1958 that the pieces scattered in several museums belonged to a single funerary couch made for a member of the Sogdian community in China.

The owner and exact history of the owner of the tomb remain unknown, as the epitaph has been lost.

Chinese stone funerary beds

Chinese stone funerary beds of similar shape were a standard feature of the period in northern China since the 5th century CE, but were most probably an adaptation from the Western regions, as the earliest example of funerary stone beds can be found in 3rd and 4th century Kucha, and Chinese stone beds were often associated with foreign ethnicity (Xianbei, Tuyuhun...) and possibly Buddhism or Zoroastrianism. Still, Sogdian tombs in China are among the most lavish of the period in this country, and are only inferior to Imperial tombs, suggesting that the Sogdian Sabao were among the wealthiest members of the population. 

Sogdian stone funerary beds disappear during the subsequent Tang dynasty period, even though Sogdian influence was probably even more significant in China at that time, possibly due to Imperial restrictions regarding funerary practices.

Other tombs from Anyang are known to have contained objects with Central Asian influence, such as a jar decorated with Central Asian dancer and musicians, from the tomb of a Northern Qi official at Anyang, and dated to 575 CE.

Notes
 The "Lights In the Night" album cover artwork features a comic book like illustration of a boy seeing a die fly by. On the three visible sides of the die are American Sign Language (AmSLan) hand signs for "U", "F", and "O" spelling "UFO".
 On the album cover, light strikes reveal part of the front and back covers of the first Flash and the Pan album. If you hold the album cover under a light source, you can not only actually see the debut's cover, you can even read the liner notes.
 "Media Man" and "Welcome to the Universe" were edited heavily for the respective single releases. In the case of the latter, the song was bereft of its dark intro and outro pieces, leaving only the middle "song" part intact. Both singles were also advertised with video clips. There was a third single release in some territories: In Sweden, "Atlantis Calling" was edited for a 7"; in Spain, "Captain Beware" was chosen.
 The Renaissance remaster (first released in 1997 as a double CD with the debut, later reissued on its own in 2008 ) adds four unrelated bonus tracks plus the 7" edit of "Media Man". On this mastering, the seamless transition from "Make Your Own Cross" into the title track was not preserved.

The 1970 Asunción Israeli Embassy shooting was a terrorist attack on May 4, 1970, that took place at the Israeli embassy building in Asunción, Paraguay. Two embassy secretaries were shot by two Palestinian men rumored to have belonged to Fatah. It was the first attack against an Israeli embassy.

Attack 
On the morning of May 4, 1970, at approximately 10:30 a.m., two young Arab men approached the reception of the Israeli Embassy, asking to see the Israeli ambassador to Paraguay, Benjamin Varon. Embassy secretaries Diana Zawluk and Edna Peer tended to the pair and informed them that the ambassador was not present at the time. The two men then left. An hour later, at around 11:30 a.m., they returned to the embassy and opened fire at the two women who had spoken to them earlier. Peer died later at a hospital and Zahluk was critically injured. The perpetrators fled before being apprehended by police shortly after.

Perpetrators 
In subsequent investigations by the National Police, it was revealed that both attackers were of Palestinian origin and were reported to be members of the Fatah organization - an organization that had begun its armed struggle against Israel in the 1960's. They were identified as Miguel Adapo and Cando Kalek. A third suspected accomplice was sought by police.

Journey to Portugal () is a 2011 Portuguese film directed and written by Sergio Tréfaut, based on a true story. It was Tréfaut's first feature-length fiction film and stars Maria de Medeiros, Isabel Ruth, and Makena Diop.

Synopsis
Maria, a Ukrainian doctor, comes to Portugal to spend a year with Greco, her husband who is also a doctor. Upon arrival at Faro airport she is the only person from Kyiv approached by agents of Immigration and Customs that lead her to a room of interrogation, without any explanations. All this occurs because the authorities suspect that something illegal should be behind her trip, since she is from Eastern Europe and her husband is Senegalese.

The Basic Creek Reservoir is one of three reservoirs in the City of Albany, New York's water system. The reservoir is located in Westerlo, New York and was constructed from 1928 to 1932 by damming the Basic Creek and flooding former farmland and forest. It is bisected by the Albany County Route 404 causeway.

The Basic Creek Reservoir serves as a feeder reservoir, allowing water from the Basic Creek watershed to be diverted to the Hannacroix Creek, which in turn flows into the Alcove Reservoir, the primary source of water for the city.

Fishing is allowed in the Basic Creek Reservoir if a permit is bought. There are smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, black crappie, walleye, bluegill, northern pike, and chain pickerel.

Charles Lester Marlatt (1863–1954) was an American entomologist.  Born in 1863 at Atchison, Kansas, he was educated at Kansas State Agricultural College (B.S., 1884; M.S., 1886), where he was assistant professor for two years.  He is the person who introduced the ladybug insect Chilocorus similis into the United States to control the San Jose scale insect, which was first discovered in San Jose, California in 1880 by John Henry Comstock and named by him.  Marlatt worked for the Bureau of Entomology, United States Department of Agriculture.  In 1912 he was appointed chairman of the Federal Horticultural Board.  He was president of the Entomological Society of Washington in 1897–98 and of the American Association of Economic Entomologists in 1899.

His 1907 description of periodic cicadas remains a classic in the field. In this article, Marlatt proposed a grouping of periodic cicadas into 30 different broods, each given a Roman numeral. Broods I–XVII assigned brood numbers for each of 17 sequential calendar years to 17-year cicadas. Broods XVIII–XXX assigned 13 sequential calendar years to 13-year cicadas. Subsequent research has established that, in fact, not every year produces a brood of periodical cicadas. There are only 15 distinct broods, not 30, but Marlatt's scheme continues to be used.

In cryptography, Curve448 or Curve448-Goldilocks  is an elliptic curve potentially offering 224 bits of security and designed for use with the elliptic-curve Diffie–Hellman (ECDH) key agreement scheme. Developed by Mike Hamburg of Rambus Cryptography Research, Curve448 allows fast performance compared with other proposed curves with comparable security. The reference implementation is available under an MIT license. The curve was favored by the Internet Research Task Force Crypto Forum Research Group (IRTF CFRG) for inclusion in Transport Layer Security (TLS) standards along with Curve25519. In 2017, NIST announced that Curve25519 and Curve448 would be added to "Special Publication 800-186", which specifies approved elliptic curves for use by the US Federal Government, and in 2023 it was approved for use in FIPS 186-5. Both are described in . The name X448 is used for the DH function.

Mathematical properties 
Hamburg chose the Solinas trinomial prime base p = 2448 − 2224 − 1, calling it a "Goldilocks" prime "because its form defines the golden ratio φ ≡ 2224". The main advantage of a golden-ratio prime is fast Karatsuba multiplication.

The curve Hamburg used is an untwisted Edwards curve
Ed: . The constant d = −39081 was chosen as the smallest absolute value that had the required mathematical properties, thus a nothing-up-my-sleeve number.

Curve448 is constructed such that it avoids many potential implementation pitfalls.
