The Incident (El Incidente) is a 2014 Mexican science fiction thriller written and directed by Isaac Ezban. It stars an ensemble cast including Raúl Méndez, Nailea Norvind, Hernán Mendoza, Humberto Busto, Fernando Alvarez Rebeil, Gabriel Santoyo, Paulina Montemayor, Hector Mendoza, Leonel Tinajero, Marcos Moreno. After tragedy strikes them, two different groups of people find themselves stuck in their current location, unable to escape from an infinitely repeating road and an endless staircase, respectively. It premiered at the Fantastic Fest and was released in Mexico on 11 September 2015. == Plot == Small-time criminal Carlos comes home to find his younger brother, Oliver, agitated. Before Oliver can explain his behavior, rogue cop Marco emerges from hiding and places both brothers under arrest. Oliver explains that he has confessed under duress and begs forgiveness. Carlos demands to see a warrant. Marco admits he does not have one and attempts to take them to the police station at gunpoint. The brothers overpower Marco and flee down their apartment complex's stairwell. While chasing them, Marco shoots Carlos in the leg but seems surprised by his own action. They are then startled by a loud explosion in the distance just before they realize that the stairs turn out to be endless, looping in on themselves. As Marco goes through the items in his wallet, he finds a miniature playing card which he does not seem to recognize. He tears the tiny card into pieces and does not pay it any further attention. Oliver applies first aid to his brother but can only watch as Carlos bleeds to death the next day. Before he dies, Carlos urges Oliver to appreciate the present, something he could never do. As Oliver mourns Carlos' death, Marco becomes shaken when he sees that a vending machine on the stairwell has become restocked, exactly as it was 24 hours ago. Enraged by Marco's callousness, Oliver disarms him and threatens to kill him with his pistol. Marco insists that he did not consciously choose to shoot Carlos and the two argue over the metaphysics of their situation. Elsewhere, Sandra and her two children Daniel and Camila prepare to visit her ex-husband. Although her new husband, Roberto, is anxious about the trip, Sandra reassures him the long drive will give him a chance to bond with her children. Daniel is seen to pack a deck of miniature playing cards, just like the one Marco found in his wallet. On the way, they stop at a gas station where Roberto carelessly offers fruit juice to Camila who has an allergic reaction to it and slowly starts having an asthma attack. Roberto finds a piece of green bamboo in his car which he finds puzzling. He tosses the bamboo onto the road without paying it any further attention. After Roberto accidentally destroys her inhaler – an accident he insists was fated to happen – a loud explosion sounds in the distance. Sandra asks Daniel to retrieve the backup inhaler, but he reveals that he forgot to pack it. Panicking, Sandra insists that Roberto turn around and return home. After passing the same gas station repeatedly, they realize the road endlessly repeats the same stretch. Roberto exits the car and walks off through the brush to seek help. Without access to her inhaler, Camila dies. Believing herself to be stuck in a nightmare, Sandra abandons her children and drives off, vainly attempting to wake herself. Daniel picks up his sister's body and begins walking down the road in the opposite direction. All of them converge to the same spot and give up hope of escape. Thirty-five years later, both groups are still stuck in their respective locations. Each day, everyone finds a fresh copy of all their possessions. Over the decades, these items gather into towering piles as the two groups attempt to live their repetitive lives. Sandra and Roberto, now elderly, have animalistic sex while Daniel lives on his own without much interaction with them. In the stairwell, Oliver keeps fit through regular exercise and leads the elderly Marco in rituals worshiping Carlos' skeleton. After Sandra dies, Roberto and Daniel hold a funeral where Roberto is struck by a moment of lucidity as he, too, nears death. He says he now understands why they are stuck. The elderly Roberto and Marco each reveal to the younger Daniel and Oliver, respectively, that none of this is real, but rather an alternate dimension to their real lives. Roberto explains that when he was a 10-year old boy, he was in another incident stuck on a raft (made of green bamboo) for thirty-five years. At the same time, the elderly Marco explains that he is really Daniel, the 10-year old boy from the incident of the infinite road, thus explaining the cycle of incidents and new dimensions. These alternate dimensions split off from reality and form a time loop. They are brought on by tragedy and the emotions that their inhabitants feel are fed back to their real world personas. The younger person stuck in an incident fares better than the older person, which is why younger people in real life have more happiness and fortune than older people who experience more sadness and misfortune. While these explanations are provided, we see glimpses of the characters' real lives which take positive and negative turns. As he dies, Roberto urges young Daniel to break the cycle of creating new dimensions by refusing to follow his fate. Similarly, the elderly Marco/Daniel urges the younger Oliver to break the cycle as well. While both Daniel and Oliver initially hesitate, they end up following their fate against the advice they were given. Daniel enters a police car and becomes Marco, off to arrest Oliver and Carlos. Oliver leaves his apartment complex and becomes the Russian bellhop Karl who operates an elevator for two newlyweds. He sets in motion an accidental death for the groom, trapping himself and the bride in a new dimension for thirty-five years. == Cast == Raúl Méndez as Marco and adult Daniel Nailea Norvind as Sandra Hernán Mendoza as Roberto Humberto Busto as Carlos Fernando Alvarez Rebeil as Oliver Gabriel Santoyo as Daniel Paulina Montemayor as Camila Hector Mendoza as adult Oliver Leonel Tinajero as old Marco Marcos Moreno as old Roberto Luciana Villegas as bride Adrián Ladrón de Guevara as groom Leticia Gonzalez as old Sandra Magda Brugengheim as old bride Santiago Mendoza Cortes as young Roberto Erick Trinidad Camacho as Juan == Release == An incomplete version of the film screened at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival. The Incident subsequently premiered at the Fantastic Fest in September 2014. Cine Canibal distributed it in Mexico, and Shoreline Entertainment picked up the film for international distribution. It was released in Mexico on 11 September 2015. == Reception == Rotten Tomatoes, a review aggregator, reports that 83% of 18 surveyed critics gave the film a positive review; the average rating is 6/10. Catherine Bray of Variety wrote that the film "largely succeeds" in telling a complex story on a limited budget, primarily due to the film's production design, but the overly-explanatory ending brings down the film. Shawn Macomber of Fangoria rated it 3/4 stars and wrote that the film encourages viewers to consider their own lives, as the characters do. Macomber also criticized the ending, writing that the film sometimes feel a bit forced in its storytelling, but said these are "minor quibbles". Writing for Screen Anarchy, Eric Ortiz Garcia called it "a great display of how to make an intriguing film with not many elements", referring to the limited sets. == References == == External links == 2014 films 2010s science fiction thriller films Mexican films Mexican science fiction films Mexican thriller films Spanish-language films Time loop films

I think the assertion that Marco and Roberto are supposed to be the same person, and Daniel and Oliver another person, is a misreading of the scene where both Marco and Roberto are explaining their individual histories in parallel. Rather, Daniel and Marco are the same person, indicated both by the story itself and by the fact that the adult Daniel and Marco were played by Raúl Méndez. Roberto, Daniel/Marco, and Oliver/Karl each lived through two Incidents: once as the younger, unknowing participant, and once, under a new identity, as the instigator of the Incident. The red books, which appeared at the end of the Incident along with the surviving participants' new clothing (and names) indicated where to find the people with whom they were supposed to create a new Incident, and the manner in which one of them would be sacrificed to begin the Incident. Roberto lived through the 1949 Incident on the raft as a young boy, presumably under a different name; once his instructor died and the Incident ended, he became Roberto. Roberto then caused the 1983 Incident with Daniel; when Roberto died, that Incident ended and Daniel took on the persona of Marco when he found the police car. Marco caused the ca. 2018 Incident with Oliver; when Marco died, that incident ended and Oliver became Karl when he entered the elevator. Karl then began the ca. 2052 Incident with the newlyweds. (In addition to the scene showing the adult Daniel cutting off his hair and transforming into Marco as we saw him in the beginning of the film, their common identity was hinted at early on, when Marco tore up a miniature playing card that had fallen out of his wallet; later, it was revealed to be one of the miniature playing cards with which Daniel had practiced magic tricks.) 73.208.105.60 (talk)

Forgotten War is a 2013 book by Australian historian Henry Reynolds concerning the Australian frontier wars, a conflict between the British Empire and settlers on one side and Indigenous Australians on the other. ==Background and synopsis== Forgotten War is a follow-up from Reynolds' previous work, The Other Side of the Frontier which argued British colonisation of Australia had involved significant levels of violence and conflict, the history of which has been largely ignored. Forgotten War is designed as a "thorough and systematic account" of the frontier wars. The book argues there can be no true reconciliation between Indigenous Australians and non-indigenous Australians without acknowledging the history of violence and conflict. ==Reception== Historian Raymond Evans, writing for The Sydney Morning Herald described the book as a "closely argued account" which continues Reynolds' tradition of informing the "Australian public of things they need to know, but which many of them do not wish to hear." Evans concluded by praising Forgotten War as "an important and richly textured book - one that deserves wide reading and debate." In the Sydney Review of Books Anna Clark wrote that "Reynolds is at his heartfelt and persuasive best here, as he explains the shared horrors of the frontier. He does so patiently and methodically, asking: Was it violent? (Yes.) Was it political and territorial? (Yes.) Was it war? (Yes.)" ===Awards and recognition=== Forgotten War received the Victorian Premier's Award for a Non-Fiction work at the 2014 Victorian Premier's Literary Awards with Reynolds receiving a $A25,000 prize. The judges praised Reynolds' work as "Elegantly written, authoritative and reflective" which "places our history in its contemporary context". The judges also noted that "Timely historical analysis of newly collated and discovered evidence shows that the coming of European settlers to Aboriginal territories was firmly defined as a frontier war by those involved at the time, government officials and settlers alike." The book was also shortlisted for the 2015 Tasmanian Premier’s Literary Prize for best book with Tasmanian content in any genre and the Queensland Literary Awards History Book Award. ==References== 2013 non-fiction books Books about the Australian frontier wars Books about Australian history Books about the British Empire History books about Australia History books about the British Empire History books about colonialism Australian non-fiction books

Shimeru (talk) ===Brooklyn college APD=== – (View AfDView log ) () Does not meet notability standards NYCRuss ☎ This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing step 3). It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) Delete. Individual chapters of college fraternities and other organizations that exist at only a single school are generally non-notable per ORG. The stub makes it clear that it is a multi-university fraternity. Rich Farmbrough, . Indeed but my reading is that Metropolitan90 is saying that this chapter only exists at a single school though I agree that his phrasing is ambiguous. Bridgeplayer (talk) Sorry for any ambiguity in my statement. As Bridgeplayer said, I meant that the Brooklyn College APD exists only at a single school (since it is the chapter for Brooklyn College of the national APD organization) and thus is non-notable. The national APD organization has chapters at multiple schools and so I would not object to that article. Note: This debate has been included in the list of Schools-related deletion discussions. —• Gene93k (talk) Note: This debate has been included in the list of Organizations-related deletion discussions. Delete - individual chapters need the necessary reliable sources to meet ORG and this page has none. Bridgeplayer (talk) The page has none, it is am unref stub. That is not enough for deletion, some attempt should be made to find them. Rich Farmbrough, . Failing to to meet ORG is a perfectly decent reason to delete. There has been some attempt to find sources - I have tried, presumably you have tried .... Bridgeplayer (talk) Merge to the parent article, let that split as and when necessary. Rich Farmbrough, . Firstly we cannot merge unsourced material. These searches have drawn blanks - This search[ repeats the claim of being the oldest fraternity on campus but none of the sources are reliable. Secondly, even if the claims could be independently and reliably stood up a merge wouldn't dovetail well into the parent article. Putting a small piece on one chapter in the main article doesn't make good sense; however if there was a section/sub-page listing all the individual chapters with their foundation date and well-sourced that would be a different matter. Bridgeplayer (talk) Note, a user has tried adding a listing of all chapters at the parent article (example); but it has been reverted by multiple editors on the grounds of it being an unencyclopedic directory (among other reasons given). It may be an issue for its own RFC. Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be add new comments below this notice.

The Lordship of Sax-Forstegg was a territory in the Alpine Rhine Valley, including the settlements of Sennwald and Altstätten, now part of the canton of St. Gallen, Switzerland. It was named for the baronial family of Sax and their castle Forstegg. It was created with the division of the old Lordship of Sax into Hohensax and Frischenberg in the late 14th century. In 1458, the lords of Sax-Forstegg entered a pact with the Swiss Confederacy. In addition, they were also citizens of St. Gallen from 1463, and citizens of Zürich from 1486. Baron Ulrich VII von Sax received the villages of Frischenberg and Lienz as a gift from the Confederacy in 1490. He was a successful military commander on the side of the Confederacy in the Swabian War of 1499. The Swiss Reformation was introduced in Sax-Forstegg in 1553. The territory was acquired by Zürich in 1615. Sax-Forsteg remained a bailiwick of Zürich until the collapse of the Old Swiss Confederacy in 1798. It was attached to the canton of Linth in 1798 and became part of the canton of St. Gallen in 1803, from 1831 within Werdenberg District. ==References== History of the canton of St. Gallen

In abstract algebra, a matrix ring is a set of matrices with entries in a ring R that form a ring under matrix addition and matrix multiplication . The set of all matrices with entries in R is a matrix ring denoted Mn(R) (alternative notations: Matn(R) and ). Some sets of infinite matrices form infinite matrix rings. Any subring of a matrix ring is a matrix ring. Over a rng, one can form matrix rngs. When R is a commutative ring, the matrix ring Mn(R) is an associative algebra over R, and may be called a matrix algebra. In this setting, if M is a matrix and r is in R, then the matrix rM is the matrix M with each of its entries multiplied by r. == Examples == The set of all matrices over R, denoted Mn(R). This is sometimes called the "full ring of n-by-n matrices". The set of all upper triangular matrices over R. The set of all lower triangular matrices over R. The set of all diagonal matrices over R. This subalgebra of Mn(R) is isomorphic to the direct product of n copies of R. For any index set I, the ring of endomorphisms of the right R-module M=\bigoplus_{i\in I}R is isomorphic to the ring \mathbb{CFM}_I(R)\, of column finite matrices whose entries are indexed by and whose columns each contain only finitely many nonzero entries. The ring of endomorphisms of M considered as a left R-module is isomorphic to the ring \mathbb{RFM}_I(R) of row finite matrices. If R is a Banach algebra, then the condition of row or column finiteness in the previous point can be relaxed. With the norm in place, absolutely convergent series can be used instead of finite sums. For example, the matrices whose column sums are absolutely convergent sequences form a ring. Analogously of course, the matrices whose row sums are absolutely convergent series also form a ring. This idea can be used to represent operators on Hilbert spaces, for example. The intersection of the row finite and column finite matrix rings forms a ring \mathbb{RCFM}_I(R). If R is commutative, then Mn(R) has a structure of a *-algebra over R, where the involution * on Mn(R) is matrix transposition. If A is a C*-algebra, then Mn(A) is another C*-algebra. If A is non-unital, then Mn(A) is also non-unital. By the Gelfand-Naimark theorem, there exists a Hilbert space H and an isometric *-isomorphism from A to a norm-closed subalgebra of the algebra B(H) of continuous operators; this identifies Mn(A) with a subalgebra of B(H\oplus n). For simplicity, if we further suppose that H is separable and A \subseteq B(H) is a unital C*-algebra, we can break up A into a matrix ring over a smaller C*-algebra. One can do so by fixing a projection p and hence its orthogonal projection 1 − p; one can identify A with \begin{pmatrix} pAp & pA(1-p) \\ (1-p)Ap & (1-p)A(1-p) \end{pmatrix}, where matrix multiplication works as intended because of the orthogonality of the projections. In order to identify A with a matrix ring over a C*-algebra, we require that p and 1 − p have the same ″rank″; more precisely, we need that p and 1 − p are Murray–von Neumann equivalent, i.e., there exists a partial isometry u such that p = uu* and 1 − p = u*u. One can easily generalize this to matrices of larger sizes. Complex matrix algebras Mn(C) are, up to isomorphism, the only finite-dimensional simple associative algebras over the field C of complex numbers. Prior to the invention of matrix algebras, Hamilton in 1853 introduced a ring, whose elements he called biquaternions and modern authors would call tensors in \mathbf{C} \otimes_{\mathbf{R}} \mathbf{H}, that was later shown to be isomorphic to M2(C). One basis of M2(C) consists of the four matrix units (matrices with one 1 and all other entries 0); another basis is given by the identity matrix and the three Pauli matrices. A matrix ring over a field is a Frobenius algebra, with Frobenius form given by the trace of the product: . ==Structure== The matrix ring Mn(R) can be identified with the ring of endomorphisms of the free right R-module of rank n; that is, . Matrix multiplication corresponds to composition of endomorphisms. The ring Mn(D) over a division ring D is an Artinian simple ring, a special type of semisimple ring. The rings \mathbb{CFM}_I(D) and \mathbb{RFM}_I(D) are not simple and not Artinian if the set I is infinite, but they are still full linear rings. The Artin–Wedderburn theorem states that every semisimple ring is isomorphic to a finite direct product \prod_{i=1}^r \operatorname{M}_{n_i}(D_i), for some nonnegative integer r, positive integers ni, and division rings Di. When we view Mn(C) as the ring of linear endomorphisms of Cn, those matrices which vanish on a given subspace V form a left ideal. Conversely, for a given left ideal I of Mn(C) the intersection of null spaces of all matrices in I gives a subspace of Cn. Under this construction, the left ideals of Mn(C) are in bijection with the subspaces of Cn. There is a bijection between the two-sided ideals of Mn(R) and the two-sided ideals of R. Namely, for each ideal I of R, the set of all matrices with entries in I is an ideal of Mn(R), and each ideal of Mn(R) arises in this way. This implies that Mn(R) is simple if and only if R is simple. For , not every left ideal or right ideal of Mn(R) arises by the previous construction from a left ideal or a right ideal in R. For example, the set of matrices whose columns with indices 2 through n are all zero forms a left ideal in Mn(R). The previous ideal correspondence actually arises from the fact that the rings R and Mn(R) are Morita equivalent. Roughly speaking, this means that the category of left R-modules and the category of left Mn(R)-modules are very similar. Because of this, there is a natural bijective correspondence between the isomorphism classes of left R-modules and left Mn(R)-modules, and between the isomorphism classes of left ideals of R and left ideals of Mn(R). Identical statements hold for right modules and right ideals. Through Morita equivalence, Mn(R) inherits any Morita-invariant properties of R, such as being simple, Artinian, Noetherian, prime. == Properties == If S is a subring of R, then Mn(S) is a subring of Mn(R). For example, Mn(Z) is a subring of Mn(Q). The matrix ring Mn(R) is commutative if and only if , , or R is commutative and . In fact, this is true also for the subring of upper triangular matrices. Here is an example showing two upper triangular matrices that do not commute, assuming : \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1 \\ 0 & 0 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1 \\ 0 & 0 \end{bmatrix}\, and \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1 \\ 0 & 0 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 \end{bmatrix}.\, For n ≥ 2, the matrix ring Mn(R) over a nonzero ring has zero divisors and nilpotent elements; the same holds for the ring of upper triangular matrices. An example in matrices would be \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 1 \\ 0 & 0 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 1 \\ 0 & 0 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 \end{bmatrix}\, . The center of Mn(R) consists of the scalar multiples of the identity matrix in which the scalar belongs to the center of R. The unit group of Mn(R), consisting of the invertible matrices under multiplication, is denoted GLn(R). If F is a field, then for any two matrices A and B in Mn(F), the equality implies . This is not true for every ring R though. A ring R whose matrix rings all have the mentioned property is known as a stably finite ring . ==Matrix semiring== In fact, R needs to be only a semiring for Mn(R) to be defined. In this case, Mn(R) is a semiring, called the matrix semiring. Similarly, if R is a commutative semiring, then Mn(R) is a . For example, if R is the Boolean semiring (the two-element Boolean algebra R = {0,1} with 1 + 1 = 1), then Mn(R) is the semiring of binary relations on an n-element set with union as addition, composition of relations as multiplication, the empty relation (zero matrix) as the zero, and the identity relation (identity matrix) as the unit. == See also == Central simple algebra Clifford algebra Hurwitz's theorem (normed division algebras) Generic matrix ring Sylvester's law of inertia ==References== Algebraic structures Ring theory Matrix theory

In computational geometry, a coreset is a small set of points that approximates the shape of a larger point set, in the sense that applying some geometric measure to the two sets (such as their minimum bounding box volume) results in approximately equal numbers. Many natural geometric optimization problems have coresets that approximate an optimal solution to within a factor of , that can be found quickly (in linear time or near-linear time), and that have size bounded by a function of independent of the input size, where is an arbitrary positive number. When this is the case, one obtains a linear-time or near-linear time approximation scheme, based on the idea of finding a coreset and then applying an exact optimization algorithm to the coreset. Regardless of how slow the exact optimization algorithm is, for any fixed choice of , the running time of this approximation scheme will be plus the time to find the coreset. == References == Computational geometry

Yunus (يونس, ; arabic synonym of "Jonas" or "Jonah"), is the 10th chapter (surah) of the Quran with 109 verses (ayat). Yunus is named after the prophet Yunus (Jonah). According to tafsir chronology (asbāb al-nuzūl), it is believed to have been revealed before the migration of the Islamic prophet Muhammed and his followers from Mecca to Medina (Hijra), as such, it is known as a Meccan surah. Quran 10 is the first of six surahs which open with the tri-letters alif, lam and ra'. ==Summary== 1-2 The Makkans charge their Prophet with sorcery because he is a man from among them 3 The Creator and Ruler of the universe the only true God 4 Believers rewarded at death for good deeds 4 Unbelievers punished after death 5-6 God’s works are signs to all men 7-11 Rewards and punishments of the faithful and the unbelieving 12 God’s purpose in prospering the wicked 13 Men pray to God in affliction, but forget Him with the return of prosperity 14-15 The people of Makkah warned by the example of former generations 16-18 The Quraish desire a different Quran — Muhammad protests his inability to alter it 19 Idolaters trust intercessors who can neither profit nor harm them 20 All men originally professed one religion 21 The people demand of Muhammad a sign 22 When men despise the judgments of God he threatens greater suffering 23-24 Unbelievers remember God in distress by land and sea, but forget Him when delivered 25 Life likened to water which sustains vegetable life 26-28 Paradise for Muslims and hell for the infidels 29-31 Idolaters will be deserted by their gods in the judgment-day 32-37 Idolaters exhorted to worship him whom they recognise as their Creator, Preserver, and Governor 38 The Quran no forgery; it confirms the former Scriptures 39-40 Those who charge Muhammad with imposture challenged to produce a chapter like it 41 Some believe in the Quran, others reject it 42-47 The unbelieving Quraish declared to be reprobate 48 An apostle is sent to every nation 49 Unbelievers mock at the threatenings of their prophet 50 Every nation has its fixed period of existence 51-55 Infidels will believe when their punishment comes upon them 56-57 God is the Author of life and death 58-59 The Quran an admonition and direction to the unbelievers 60-61 Lawful food not to be prohibited 62 Muhammad ever under Divine guidance 63-65 The blessedness of those who believe and fear God 66-68 Unbelievers cannot harm the Prophet 69-71 Those rebuked who say that God hath begotten children 72-75 Muhammad likened to Noah and other prophets 76 Moses and Aaron sent to Pharaoh and his princes 77-82 They are rejected as sorcerers and perverters of the national religion 83 A few of the people only believe on them 84-86 Moses and Aaron with the believers put their trust in God 87 The Israelites commanded to be constant in prayer to God 88-89 Moses’s prayer, that God would destroy the Egyptians, is heard 90 Pharaoh and his people drowned in the sea 90-92 He repents and is raised out of the sea for a sign to the people 93 The Israelites are provided with a habitation and blessing 94-95 Jews and Christians appealed to in confirmation of the statements of the Quran 96-98 No kind of miracle will suffice to make the reprobate believe 99-103 Infidels do not believe on Muhammad because God does not permit them to do so 104-107 The people of Makkah exhorted to accept the true orthodox faith 108 Muhammad not responsible for the faith or unbelief of the people 109 The Prophet exhorted to be patient The initial verses of the chapter (1–70) presents an argumentative dialogue between Islam and its unbelievers. The rest contains the stories of Noah, Moses and Jonah, all considered prophets in Islam. The chapter presents the Meccan pagans' objections against the Quran, and responds to them. The pagans said that Muhammad was a "manifest sorcerer" and that he fabricated the Quran. They also challenged Muhammad to immediately bring the punishment of God, if his claim was true. They also demanded that Muhammad change the Quran to no longer condemn their practice of idolatry and using intercessors when worshipping God. The chapter's response to these objection is a mix of "argument, threat, promise and reproach". It defends the Quran's divine origin, not a fabrication of Muhammad's, and says that Muhammad could not change it even if he wanted to. As for the challenge to bring God's punishment, the chapter says that God may defer punishment in this world if he wants to. It also tells of the punishment against unbelievers in the past, such as the people of Noah and Moses. It says that if the pagans waited for the punishment before believing, it would be too late, as was the case with the Pharaoh of Moses. According to the Quran, the Pharaoh only believed in God just before drowning, and that belief was too late and did not benefit him. The chapter also mentions the People of Jonah, who at first rejected Jonah's message, but then repented and believed. Therefore, unlike the people of Noah and Moses, they were averted from God's punishment. The mention of Jonah in verse 98 gives the chapter its name. The chapter then instructs Muhammad if he had any doubt about the truth of what was revealed to him, he could ask other People of the Book (i.e. the Jews and the Christians) who would be able to confirm the Quran's account of these people of the past. ==Revelation== According to the Islamic tradition, the chapter is predominantly revealed during the Meccan phase (610–622) of Muhammad's prophethood (before his move to Medina), therefore, a Meccan sura. Based on its context, some verses appeared to date to when Muhammad just started his call to Islam. According to the fifteenth century commentary Tafsir al-Jalalayn, some said that the surah was revealed sometime after Muhammad's Night Journey (c. 621). Verses 40 and 94–96 appeared to be an exception and were revealed in Medina. The congruity of the topic unmistakably shows this doesn't contain separated sections or talks that were uncovered at various occasions or on various events. Actually, it is, from the starting point to end, a firmly associated talk which more likely than not been uncovered at one sitting. Other than this, the nature of its subject is itself a reasonable confirmation that the Surah has a place with the Makkan time frame. We have no tradition as to the hour of its disclosure, yet its topic gives a clear sign that it probably been uncovered during the last phase of Muhammad's living at Makkah. For the method of the talk recommends that at the hour of its disclosure, the hostility of the rivals of the Message had become so exceptional that they couldn't endure even the nearness of Muhammad and his supporters among themselves, and that left no expectation that they could ever comprehend and acknowledge the message of Muhammad. This shows the last admonition like in this surah had to be given. These attributes of the talk are clear confirmation that it was uncovered during the last phase of the movement at Makkah. Something else that decides all the more explicitly for the Surahs of the last stage at Makkah is the notice (or nonattendance) of some open or incognito insight about Hijrat (Emigration) from Makkah. As this Surah doesn't contain any clue at about this, it is a proof that it was revealed before those surahs which contain it. ==Name== The chapter is named after Jonah who was known as Yunus in the Islamic tradition, who is mentioned in the verse 98. Despite the chapter being named after him, this verse is the only one (out of 109) where the chapter mentions him. This is not unusual in the Quran, a chapter's name is usually taken from a prominent or unusual word in it, which might or might not relate to its subject matter. ==Principal Subjects== The first ayat contains greeting towards the Right Way is reached out to the individuals who were thinking about it a strange thing that Allah's message was being presented on by a person (Muhammad). They were accusing Muhammad of witchcraft, though there is neither anything strange in it nor makes them anything to do with magic or soothsaying. Muhammad is just educated humanity these two realities: Allah, Who has made the universe, is, indeed, your Rabb, and He Alone is qualified for be worshipped. That after the life right now, will be another life in the following scene, where you will need to render full record of this current world's life. You will be compensated or rebuffed by whether you adopt the righteous attitude required by Allah in the wake of recognizing Him as your Rabb, or act against His commandments. Both of these realities will be real factors in themselves, regardless of whether you recognize them in that capacity or not. On the off chance that you acknowledge these, you will have an extremely honored end; else you will meet the shrewd outcomes of your offenses. The significant issues, divine laws, and instructions in the surah can be listed as follows:- Allah is the only Creator of this universe. Deities worshiped by mushrikin, other than Allah, have no capacity to either profit or mischief anybody. Deities other than Allah are not in any case mindful that they are being worshiped. Allah sent a Rasool for guidance to each nation. Al-Qur'an gives a fix to all the issues of humankind. Mushrikin follow only guesses and The tale of the Prophet Nuh and his kin. The tale of the Prophet Musa, Fir'on, and his chiefs. Believing in the wake of seeing the scourge didn't profit any nation aside from the people of the Prophet Yunus. Forbiddance against compelling anybody to change over to Islam. ==Exegesis== ===Verse 10:25=== The ideal society according to the Quran is Dar as-Salam, literally, "the house of peace" of which it intones: And Allah invites to the 'abode of peace' and guides whom He pleases into the right path. ===Verse 10:101=== It is narrated that when Ja'far al-Sadiq was asked about verse : ...the signs and warnings are of no avail to the disbelieving people, he replied the signs are the Imams and the warnings are the Prophets. == References == == Bibliography == == External links== Quran 10 Clear Quran translation Yunus Jonah

An Old, Old Tale (Старая, старая сказка|Staraya, staraya skazka) is a 1968 Soviet musical film directed by Nadezhda Kosheverova. It is based on four fairy tales by Hans Christian Andersen: "The Tinderbox", "The Travelling Companion", "The Swineherd" and "Blockhead Hans". ==Plot== ===Prologue=== A poor wandering puppeteer gives a performance in a roadside inn to pay for a pint of beer and dinner. The audience applauds, and the happy owner asks his daughter to lavishly wine and dine the actor. The puppeteer and the daughter of the innkeeper become so in love with each other that they plan to run away together at dawn. At night, the dolls come to life. They are very upset by the future parting and ask their owner not to leave them. The latter wants to start a family and acquire a more profound profession. Knowing that he can not fall asleep until morning, the puppeteer asks the puppets to play a fairy tale for him, like a performance, which they do. ===Performance=== Under a cheerful song-march, a soldier walks along the road and meets a witch. She suggests that he go down into the magic well and collect as many gold coins as he can carry, and then share the wealth with her in half. The soldier descends into the well and fills the bucket with money, but the "devil's grandma", after pulling out the money refuses to retrieve the soldier from the well. He climbs out by himself and chops off the witch's head for treachery. Having put a cabbage head on instead of her human head, the witch runs away. Having defeated the witch, the soldier thereby breaks a spell which caused a good wizard to turn into a black cat. In gratitude for salvation, the wizard gives the soldier a wondrous flint and promises his help at any time - it is enough to just hit the flint. For the time being the soldier forgets about the flint. Before him lies the path to the kingdom, where he immediately encounters a huge queue of princes - in a small state a princess is being given away for marriage despite her wishes. The soldier falls in love with the princess, who gives riddles to her numerous fiancés, and comes to her to woo. But she drives the hapless lover away, as her father, the king, very much wants to see the soldier as her husband because he thinks that he has a lot of gold. Wishing to smoke, the soldier gathers a light and gets a spark from the flint, which causes the wizard to appear who is ready to fulfill any of his wishes. The servant asks for a miracle - to bring the princess to him. Reluctantly the sorcerer agrees. The young couple is walking on the roofs and are chatting cordially, the girl thinks that all this is a dream. After an attempt to kiss her, the heir to the throne understands that everything is happening for real, and returns home. In the morning she promises the king to marry someone who can solve a logical problem. No one is able to guess the riddles. The soldier summons a wizard who gives him a clue, but after a seemingly successful exam, the king still orders the execution of the serviceman. At the trial the soldier asks to fulfill his last wish - to smoke, and using the flint summons the same magician who frees the hero. The frightened princess agrees to marry him. The young man is promoted to general and is given a new uniform, but he intends to leave the inhospitable kingdom because the girl does not love him. At parting, he kisses the princess and leaves her in tears. Again, he leaves somewhere, but the girl catches up with the soldier. It turns out that she was bewitched and that was why she was so evil and capricious. With his kiss, he broke the enchantment and the princess wants to be with him. This concludes the performance. ===Epilogue=== In the morning the daughter of the innkeeper informs the puppeteer about her decision to stay - she can not leave her father and her home. Then he leaves with his dolls for good. ==Cast== Oleg Dahl - soldier / puppeteer Marina Neyolova - princess / daughter of innkeeper Vladimir Etush - the king / innkeeper Georgy Vitsin - kind magician Vera Titova - witch Victor Perevalov - Prince-chimney sweeper Igor Dmitriev - oriental prince Georgy Shtil - bodyguard of the princess Boris Leskin - coachman Anatoly Korolkevich - doorman Georgiy Gheorghiu - Fatty (in credits as "") Lev Lemke - Thin Anatoly Abramov - the first suitor ==References== ==External links== Lenfilm films Soviet musical fantasy films Soviet films 1960s musical fantasy films Films directed by Nadezhda Kosheverova Films based on works by Hans Christian Andersen

Jacques-Joseph Ébelmen (10 July 1814 – 31 March 1852) was a French chemist. Ébelmen was the son of Claude Louis Ébelmen, a forest surveyor, and Jeanne Claude Grenier. He attended classes in grammar and literature at the Language School at Baume. Thereafter he grew interested in the Sciences and attended the elementary mathematics classes in Paris at Collège Royal Henry-Le-Grand, and applied mathematics at the Lycée de Besançon. He then enrolled at the École Polytechnique in 1831. In 1849, he was a member of the jury at the Central National Exhibition, and in 1851 he represented the French ceramic industry at the Great Exhibition in London, as a member of international jury. Whilst in England, his innovations drew esteem from the greatest scholars, including Michael Faraday, who invited him to attend a lecture he professed before the Royal Institution in London. A few months after his return to France and the drafting of his report on the Exhibition, Ébelmen was suffering from a brain fever. He died on 31 March 1852. The Ébelmen Award in Geochemistry, given out by the International Association of GeoChemistry, is named in his honour. His name is one of the 72 names inscribed on the Eiffel Tower. ==Research== His early research metallurgical dates from 1838, from a series of very remarkable memoirs succeeded until 1844, while others appeared only in 1851. To determine the composition of the gases successively in blast furnaces, kilns in a puddle in the warming ovens, he was inventing special processes, to draw the gas mixture in warmer regions and most easily accessible, and applied the same methods to study the carbonization of wood in the wheels, to that of the carbonization of coal in coke ovens and review of combustion in the engine locomotives homes alongside Frédéric Sauvage. He was a pioneer in the study of the chemical weathering of silicate minerals and basaltic rocks by carbonic acid. From his analysis of the decomposition products of weathered rocks and their sediments, Ébelmen proposed (1845, 1847, 1848) the existence of a deep carbon cycle in which volcanic gases return to the atmosphere and ocean the carbon dioxide buried in organic remains and carbonate rocks. This work was largely forgotten for 150 years, until it was rediscovered and promoted by Robert A. Berner (1935 – 2015) of Yale University. ==References== 1814 births 1852 deaths Chevaliers of the Légion d'honneur French chemists

In mathematics, a closed n-manifold N embedded in an (n + 1)-manifold M is boundary parallel (or ∂-parallel, or peripheral) if there is an isotopy of N onto a boundary component of M. ==An example== Consider the annulus I\times S^1. Let π denote the projection map \pi:I\times S^1\rightarrow S^1,\qquad(x,z)\mapsto z. If a circle S is embedded into the annulus so that π restricted to S is a bijection, then S is boundary parallel. (The converse is not true.) If, on the other hand, a circle S is embedded into the annulus so that π restricted to S is not surjective, then S is not boundary parallel. (Again, the converse is not true.) Geometric topology

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page. The result was keep. Editors are reminded that while someone's position may not be a "they're notable because they're _____" pass, if they meet GNG then that is irrelevant, and it seems that we have enough here to meet that, between occasional national coverage and persistent local. The Bushranger One ping only ===Jerry Demings=== AfDs for this article: – (View AfDView log Stats) () BLP of a county sheriff, written differently enough from the first version to not qualify for immediate G4 speedy but not really making a stronger case for notability. County sheriff is not a level of office that hands its holders an automatic notability pass just for existing Note: This debate has been included in the list of Politicians-related deletion discussions. MassiveYR ♠ Note: This debate has been included in the list of Law-related deletion discussions. MassiveYR ♠ Note: This debate has been included in the list of Florida-related deletion discussions. MassiveYR ♠ Delete. Not notable for stand alone article; his position and "life" does not rise to a level of notability per GNG. Could be mentioned in his wife's article, but otherwise trivial. Kierzek (talk) Keep. Former chief of police of Orlando Police Department, a large department with over 700 officers, and currently heads an even larger sheriff's department with over 2,400 employees. I think that alone makes him notable enough for an article. The notability test for a police chief is "how much reliable source coverage does he have or not have in media?", not "how many people happen to have him as their boss?" Bearcat (talk) I would have said the notability criteria for such a senior figure are governed by COMMONSENSE, but there you go... In an encyclopedia that anybody can edit, which as a direct result of that has tremendous problems with people trying to misuse us as a public relations platform or as a forum for POV opinioneering or rumour-mongering about our article subjects, insisting on proper sourceability is the common sense position. There's nothing remotely "common sense" about giving county sheriffs (or anybody else, for that matter) an automatic inclusion freebie just because they exist — the common sense position does require legitimate sources. Bearcat (talk) And the article does have legitimate sources. He clearly holds and held the posts claimed. You're arguing they're not sufficient for notability; I'm arguing they are. Please don't characterise this as anything other than what it is: a notability dispute, not a sourcing dispute. Delete Fails BASIC as has not received "significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject". He does not inherit notability from his wife nor his role. AusLondonder (talk) Odd that minor politicians do then! We really do continue to have double standards on Wikipedia. He doesn't "inherit" notability from his role; he is notable because of his senior role. No, minor politicians (city councillors, school board trustees, small-town mayors, etc.) don't "inherit" anything either — they get deleted if they can't be reliably sourced as the subject of an unusual volume of press coverage that marks them out as more notable than the norm for their level of prominence. State and federal legislators, on the other hand, do not hold "minor" roles — they hold roles that make them significantly more prominent than small-town mayors or school board trustees, and even if their articles are sometimes inadequate in their existing form, they're of much more than purely local interest and are always improvable. There's no equivalency to be drawn here between a county sheriff and a state or federal legislator: county sheriff is a local office, not a state or federal one, so the keepability test is not passed just because a few sources exist, because a few sources always exist for all county sheriffs. The notability test for local offices is "significantly more notable than the norm", not "automatically included just because the same purely local sources exist for him that would exist for anybody else at that level too". Bearcat (talk) Did I say municipal politicians? I was referring to every single member of a national or sub-national legislature. Many of whom are indeed "minor politicians" and are far less significant than the chief of two major police agencies (and are, frankly, often less well-known). Yet we give them a free pass just because of the post they hold, so the implication that we don't ever do this is clear piffle. And please stop referring to "inheriting". Nobody is saying anybody inherits anything. "Inherited notability is the idea that something qualifies for an article merely because it was associated with some other, legitimately notable subjects." Nope, that doesn't apply. It would apply if I was saying he was notable because of his wife (which I'm certainly not); it does not apply if I say he is notable because of his senior post. State or federal legislators are most certainly not "minor" politicians by any rational or sane measure — they may not all be as famous as Donald Trump or Justin Trudeau or Angela Merkel, but state and federal legislatures are important political bodies whose decisions have profound impacts on society and history and economics. It's the people in the US Congress, for example, who have ultimate control over whether Donald Trump will get his agenda passed or not, not his own will; it was a vote of confidence in the legislature, not a clear-cut victory for either party in the election, that decided who the new premier of British Columbia is; and it's the Members of Parliament in the United Kingdom who have control of how long Theresa May is or isn't going to get to keep her job. So they have a lot of control over the political agenda, which makes them significantly more than "minor" figures even if they're not all internationally famous. There's an important public service at stake in having information about legislators, because they matter to a broad readership — people need to know exactly who's voting on important issues, like whether they get to have health insurance or not, whether their taxes are going up or down, and on and so forth. Politicians at the state or federal levels are exactly the kind of topic any encyclopedia worth its salt would be expected to have articles about; county sheriffs are not, save rare exceptions on the order of Joe Arpaio who have an unusual volume of nationalized coverage. Bearcat (talk) :Of course many of them are minor politicians. Many of them will never do anything significant in their entire careers apart from turn up and vote occasionally. And this was often even more the case in the past and also with "legislatures" in totalitarian states which are just rubber-stamping bodies, yet we still give all of them a free pass. ::"Apart from turn up and vote on important legislation which matters, thereby making it critically important for every American to have access to neutral and verifiable information about everybody who's voting on their financial and social futures." FTFY, HTH, HAND. Bearcat (talk) Keep HEY, coverage of unique aspects of his career (first black police chief in Orlando) goes back to 1998; and the details of the bio are reliably sourced. But it's the coverage of the fact that when he ran for and won the election for Sheriff (of a big deal County, because: Orlando), his wife was Police Chief of Orlando that brought non-ROUEINE coverage. Also, special attention is drwan becase he was the first black police chief in Orlando, first black Sheriff in Orange County, and the first black head of the Florida sheriffs association - more can be added about these themes, which have attracted coverage. The fact that his wife os now a congresswoman also makes people interested in him, But it was the unusual married-couple-head-overlapping-police-agencies got coverage that goes well beyond ROUTINE, here's a sampling of what's out there: Jerry and Val Demings; Married couple lead area policing; Jerry and Val Demings are sheriff and police chief in the Orlando area.

==Untitled== What has happen to the (note)book? What's the reason for the name of this cafe? Just curious ... Regards, Deacon of Pndapetzim (Talk) @Piotrus - I know that (first-hand) copies of it still exist. I believe Jagiellonian has one. Don't know what happened to the original. People still work on those problems and solving one of them is definitely enough to make one "notable" mathematics-wise. @Deacon - just a name of a cafe, don't think there's much to it. Maybe some kind of loose connection to the significant immigration of Scots to Poland 17th-19th century or something (now there's an article to be written).Volunteer Marek (talk) According to pl wiki, Banach's family has the Marek (talk) :The book was buried under a football field in WWII, I believe. Then I believe that Stanislaw Ulam brought it or a copy to the U.S., where it was typed and issued as a technical report. Mauldin's book or the Banach biograhy discuss the history.   ::From this and this it looks like the story is "found by Banach's son" == Names and articles == Should this article be under its present title, or under Scottish Book (redirect), or should we have two separate articles? Ideally, I'd like to see one article, Scottish Cafe, on the building as well as the group of mathematicians, and the atmosphere of the time, while another article, Scottish book, would focus on the problems contained therein, as well as the history of the book itself. Of course that might be a lot of work, so from a purely practical perspective it might make sense to keep all the information in one place for now. In terms of the gb hits, we have 158 for "Scottish cafe" math (there's some Wikipedia reprints in that search) and 180 for "Scottish book" math[#q=%22scottish+book%22+math&hl=en&tbo=1&tbm=bks&ei=97pJTsyRH_CEsgKUuIm9CA&start=190&sa=N&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&fp=694e547d6b7aa5ce&biw=1440&bih=678. However, the latter includes hits for the "New Scottish Book" which was something started by Steinhaus later, in the tradition of the original book. So it's a judgment call. For now I'm going to leave things as they are and try to expand the article, but I thought I'd throw this out there. Volunteer Marek (talk)

Agama impalearis, Bibron's agama, is a species of lizard from the family Agamidae from north western Africa. ==Description== Agama impalearis is a medium-sized lizard, growing to up to 25–30 cm in total length, 15 cm of which is made up of the cylindrical tail. The dorsal scales are relatively large and each scale is the same size as all the others, it has some spikes on its neck and on the side of the head while the throat is wrinkled. The males are larger than the females. The dorsal surface is greyish green and is marked with brown spots while the head is blue with orange rims around the eyes. When breeding, the male's head and body turn coppery-orange while the rest of the body turning purplish-blue with paler rings on the tail. The females are mainly bluish grey with their backs coloured orangey-yellow and marked with red stripes. The colour can also vary because of age or exposure to the sun. Juveniles have tubercles where the spikes will grow when they are adult . ==Distribution== Agama impalearis is found in north western Africa with its distribution centred on Morocco but it extends south to Western Sahara and east into eastern Algeria as far as east as Batna Province in northeastern Algeria. It may also occur in the Zemmour Massif in northern Mauritania. ==Habitat and ecology== Agama impalearis occurs in rocky areas, where it is diurnal, its main prey are arthropods but it will take small lizards as well as feeding on plant material. In Morocco it is thought that these lizards eat flowers mainly for the moisture content. It has also been recorded from Mediterranean type vegetation, steppe, and areas of suitable habitat at the margins of cultivated land. One-third to half of all females lay two clutches of eggs per year, the remainder lay one. Each clutch contains between six and 23 eggs, with a mean number of 14 eggs. The breeding season falls between late April and early September and the females begin to breed in their first year; 1–2-year-old females are the commonest age for breeding. It is a good climber over trees and rocks and is tolerant of high temperatures and exposure to the sun, although in the hottest part of the day in midsummer they may retreat to shade. When they feel threatened they can rapidly flee to a hiding place between rocks or under a shrub. In habitats where there is abundant prey and plenty of shelter these lizards can occur at high densities. Its main predators are snakes and raptors and if it cannot flee to a shelter it will play dead. The night is spent in a burrow excavated under a large stone, in a bank or an under embankment, the main burrow is less than one metre in length and may have several side galleries. When not foraging the males use a rock or a pile of rocks as a lookout to monitor their territory, each territory being 100 to 500 square meters in extent. When breeding if two males encounter one another they display by making themselves look as big as possible, swelling the throat and pushing the anterior portion of the body up with the front legs in an attempt to intimidate the other male. The other male either flees or begins a fight where the males circle each other and use their tails as weapons until one gives up and runs away. The male approaches a female in breeding condition with circular movements, then the female signals her readiness to mate by arching her back and raising her body and tail, the male then bites the nape of her neck and copulates with her. The eggs complete much of their development within the female and are laid into a moist substrate. Their does not appear to be nay parental care and the eggs hatch after 60 days. ==Taxonomy== Genetic studies have confirmed the existence of two distinct clades of Agama impalearis, one on the north and west of the Atlas Mountains and the other to the south and east. There is some intergrade between the two forms but there are consistent morphological differences as well as clear differences in mitochondrial DNA which suggest that these forms may represent separate species. ==Conservation== Agama impalearis is a wide-ranging species with no known threats. It is regularly found in the European pet trade but collection of specimens for this trade is not considered to be at any risk to the species. ==References== Agamidae Reptiles of North Africa Reptiles described in 1874 Taxa named by Oskar Boettger

A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on Existence (En duva satt på en gren och funderade på tillvaron) is a 2014 internationally co-produced black comedy-drama film written and directed by Roy Andersson. It is the third installment in his "Living" trilogy, following Songs from the Second Floor (2000) and You, the Living (2007). It premiered at the 71st Venice International Film Festival where it was awarded the Golden Lion for Best Film. It was selected as the Swedish entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 88th Academy Awards but it was not nominated. Its title is a reference to the 1565 painting The Hunters in the Snow by Pieter Bruegel the Elder. The painting depicts a rural wintertime scene, with some birds perched on tree branches. Andersson said he imagined that the birds in the scene are watching the people below, wondering what they are doing. He explained the title of the film as a "different way of saying 'what are we actually doing', that's what the movie is about." At the Venice Film Festival, Andersson said that the film had been inspired by the 1948 Italian film Bicycle Thieves by Vittorio De Sica. == Plot == The slow cinema movie consists of a series of mostly self-contained tableaux, sometimes connected by recurring themes or characters. The story loosely follows two traveling novelty salesmen, Jonathan and Sam, who live in a desolate flophouse, and their unsuccessful attempts to win customers for their joke articles (vampire teeth, laughing bags and a monster mask). Although there is no main storyline in the traditional sense, all scenes are connected. == Cast == Holger Andersson as Jonathan Nils Westblom as Sam ==Reception== A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on Existence received an 89% "Certified Fresh" rating on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 98 reviews, with an average rating of 7.83/10. The consensus reads: "Expertly assembled and indelibly original, A Pigeon Sat on a Branch concludes writer-director Roy Andersson's Living trilogy in style." The film also received a score of 81 out of 100 on Metacritic, based on 23 reviews, indicating "universal acclaim". ==See also== List of submissions to the 88th Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film List of Swedish submissions for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film ==References== ==External links== A Pigeon Sat On A Branch Reflecting on Existence on 2014 films 2014 black comedy films Swedish films Films directed by Roy Andersson Golden Lion winners European Film Awards winners (films) Cultural depictions of Charles XII of Sweden Swedish avant-garde and experimental films Swedish black comedy films Swedish drama films Non-narrative films 2010s avant-garde and experimental films 2014 drama films

The Hudson River Chain was two chain booms and two chevaux de frise constructed from 1776 to 1778 during the American Revolutionary War across the Hudson River as defenses to prevent British naval vessels from sailing upriver. These defenses along the Hudson River were overseen by the Highlands Department of the Continental Army. The most significant and successful was the Great Chain, constructed from West Point in 1778, and used through 1782 after the war's end. The huge links for the chains were forged at iron works in Orange County, New York. ==Background== Both the Americans and British knew that passage on the Hudson River was strategically important to the war effort. Americans worked to devise plans to slow or block ship passage on the river, planning to attack enemy ships by cannons and mortar located at existing defensive forts or those to be constructed. In late 1776 Henry Wisner, a resident of Goshen, New York and one of New York's representatives to the Continental Congress, along with Gilbert Livingston, sounded the Hudson River and, as part of a Secret Committee of the "Committee of Safety," recommended the placement of chains in strategic locations along the Hudson. The Americans eventually constructed such obstacles across the river at northern Manhattan, between forts Washington and Lee in 1776; at the newly constructed Fort Montgomery on the West Bank on Popolopen Creek in 1776–1777 south of West Point; a partially completed one at Pollepel Island in 1776–1777 north of West Point; and the Great Chain (1778–1782) between West Point and Constitution Island. The largest and most important project was the last-mentioned chain, at West Point, which was reset each spring until the end of the war. Attention was concentrated on the West Point area because the river narrowed there, and curved so sharply that, together with winds, tides and current, ships already had to slow to navigate the passage. Creating more obstructions on the river enabled the shore batteries to work their cannons against the enemy. ==Fort Lee to Fort Washington chevaux-de-frise (1776)== As part of the barriers erected across the river, the Army constructed chevaux-de-frise, an array of logs sunk underwater, between Fort Washington on the island of Manhattan, and Fort Lee across the river in New Jersey. The logs were intended to pierce and sink any British ships that passed over it. An opening was left for the passage of American ships. After the British learned of the opening from a local resident, they successfully passed through the barrier several times. The British successfully captured both forts in the Battle of Fort Washington on November 16, 1776 and Battle of Fort Lee on November 20, rendering the defensive barrier moot. ==Fort Montgomery Chain (1776–1777)== A chain and boom were stretched across the river from Fort Montgomery on the West Bank, at the lower entrance to the Highlands just north of the modern-day Bear Mountain Bridge, to Anthony's Nose on the East Bank. Fort Clinton had been built just south of Popolopen's Kill (or Popolopen Creek) and also on the West Bank. Captain Machin headed this effort. In November 1776, a faulty link broke under stress induced by the river tides, highlighting some of the difficulties of trying to chain the Hudson. It was repaired and reset. After the British captured forts Montgomery and Clinton on October 6, 1777, they dismantled the chain and raided upriver as far as Kingston. Governor Clinton, one of the committee assigned by the New York Convention to devise means of defending the Hudson, was heartened as the British never attempted to run ships through the chain. He concluded that the basic idea of obstructing the river seemed sound. After Captain Machin recovered from wounds from battle with the British, he began work on the stronger Great Chain at West Point, which was constructed and installed in 1778. ==Pollepel Island's chevaux-de-frise (1776–1777)== Another chevaux-de-frise was constructed across the Hudson between Plum Point and Pollepel Island, north of West Point. The defenses were never fully completed, and its importance was overshadowed by completion of the Great Chain at West Point the following year. ==Great Chain (1778–1782)== In the spring of 1778, a heavy chain supported by huge logs was stretched across the Hudson from West Point to Constitution Island, opposite. It was constructed at the Sterling Iron Works, in Warwick, Orange County, and chain links from Long Pond Iron Works in Ringwood, New Jersey. The task was completed in six weeks. The Hudson River's narrow width and sharp turns at West Point created adverse sailing conditions. The Army took advantage of this by constructing The Great Chain in 1778 as an obstacle to the movement of British ships north of West Point. The distinctive "S-Curve" of the Hudson at this point forced any large ship to tack in order to navigate it. American soldiers positioned the chain to impede the progress of a ship should it attempt to turn into the east–west channel against the strong current and frequently unfavorable winds. Part of the estuary of the Lower Hudson River, this area is subject to significant tides, making navigation by sailing vessels particularly difficult. Cannons were placed in forts and artillery batteries on both sides of the river to destroy ships when they slowed to a halt against the obstacle. When finally completed, the chain contained huge iron links, each two feet in length and weighing . The links were carted to New Windsor, where they were put together, and floated down the river to West Point on logs late in April. Including swivels, clevises, and anchors, the chain weighed 65 tons. For buoyancy, logs were cut into sections, waterproofed, and joined by fours into rafts fastened with timbers. Short sections of chain (10 links, a swivel, and a clevis) were stapled across each raft and later, in the river, the chain sections were united. Peter Townsend, owner of Sterling Iron Works, was paid by the Continental Congress to manufacture the chain. Captain Thomas Machin, the Artillery Officer and engineer who had installed the chain at Fort Montgomery, was assigned to the same task at West Point. On 30 April 1778, he directed the installation of the chain across the river. Its southern end was secured to a small cove on the West Bank of the river and its northern end was anchored to Constitution Island. The West Point side was protected by Chain Battery and the Constitution Island side by Marine Battery. Both ends were anchored to log cribs filled with rocks. A system of pulleys, rollers, ropes, and mid-stream anchors were used to adjust the chain's tension to overcome the effects of river current and changing tide. Until 1783, the chain was removed each winter and reinstalled each spring to avoid destruction by ice. A log "boom" (resembling a ladder in construction) was built to span the river about downstream (south of the chain) to absorb the impact of any ship attempting to penetrate the barrier. The British never attempted to run the chain. Benedict Arnold claimed in correspondence with the British that "a well-loaded ship could break the chain." The greater system of fortifications at West Point, of which the chain was part, was designed and built by the Polish engineer Thaddeus Kościuszko. After the revolution, the portion of the chain not saved was "relegated to the West Point Foundry furnaces near Cold Spring, New York, to be melted down for other uses." The saved chain portion was first displayed at the West Point ordnance compound, along with a captured mortar, as shown in the black and white drawing to the right, which was made in 1905. More recently, it has been displayed at Trophy Point, where the chain surrounds a pile of rocks. The thirteen links of the chain represent each of the original states; the display includes one swivel and one clevis. The exhibit is maintained and preserved by the West Point Museum. Recovered in 1855 from the river, a section of the boom is displayed at Washington's Headquarters State Historic Site in Newburgh, New York. Two links of the original chain are also at Raynham Hall in Oyster Bay, New York, the home of Robert Townsend. Townsend (as "Culper Jr") was one of the spies in the Culper spy ring for George Washington, and was the cousin of Peter Townsend, the owner of the iron works. Capitalizing on pride in the audacious engineering project, John C. Abbey, and later Francis Bannerman, sold counterfeit chain links to collectors and museums. ==Bibliography== "Hudson River Chain", Harper's Encyclopedia of United States History, Vol. IV, p. 447, Harper & Brothers Publishers, 1905.

Saba Qom Football Club (باشگاه فوتبال صبای قم) was an Iranian football team based in Qom, Iran. The club was dissolved in 2018. The team is a former part of Saba Battery Club, owned by Saba Battery Co., and was moved to Qom in 2007, although they were formerly registered as a team from Tehran playing at Shahid Derakhshan Stadium of Robat Karim. Saba won the 2005 edition of the Hazfi Cup and the 2005 edition of the Iranian Super Cup. ==History== Mohemmat sazi Football Club (باشگاه فوتبال مهمات سازی) was Iranian football club based in Tehran, Iran. They play in the 2nd Division. ===Establishment=== In 1974 a football called Mohemat Sazi was established in Tehran. The team never had any major success and only played in the lower leagues of the Iranian football league system. They came close to making it to Tehran's top football league in the Elyas Talebi 1980s. In the early 1990s the club was sponsored by a company named Maham. During the later stages of the club's history they were sponsored by Sanam, an electronics company. ===Takeover=== In 2002 the club's shares were sold to Saba Battery Company (also known as Niru Company) which is under the control of Iran's Ministry of Defense. Due to the club's greatly improved financial status the team was able to purchase talented players and were promoted to the Iran Pro League in 2004. ===Domestic Titles=== ====2004–2005==== In the first year of participation in Iran Pro League, Saba Battery managed to participate in the AFC Champions League for the first time ever, After becoming champions of the Hazfi Cup under Milan Živadinović. In the 2005 season Saba Battery also won the Iranian Super Cup, defeating Foolad the Iran Pro League champion 4–0. And until 2016 they remained the only team to have the title. ====2006–2007==== Although Saba Battery did not have a successful year in Iran Pro League, they were competitive in the Hazfi Cup. Saba Battery became Runners-up after losing to Sepahan 4–2 in aggregate, with Mohammad Hossein Ziaei. Since Sepahan became 5th in the Iran Pro League, that meant that Saba Battery won't be going to AFC Champions League. ===Iran Pro League=== The team debuted in the Iran Pro League in the 2004–05 season and made the headlines when they signed Iranian legend and FIFA all-time greatest international goalscorer Ali Daei from Persepolis. With the help of Daei the team was able to secure a berth for the Asian Champions League after winning the 2005 Hazfi Cup, however failing to make it out of their group. In the same year Saba won the Iranian Super Cup defeating league champions Foolad 4–0. After the departure of Ali Daei in 2006, Saba signed former Bosnia and Herzegovina international Alen Avdić as his replacement. In 2007 Saba once again made the final of the Hazfi Cup, this time losing 4–0 to Sepahan on aggregate. ====Move to Qom==== In 2008 Saba relocated to Qom because the city of Tehran had many football teams with low attendance figures. The team was renamed Saba Qom after the move. Saba was one of the few teams of the league in 2008–09 season which did not change managers during the season and finished in 6th position at the end of the season something that happened again in the next season. In the 2011–12 Persian Gulf Cup, Saba Qom finished 4th securing a play-off spot for the 2013 AFC Champions League. In the play-off Saba lost to Al Shabab on penalties and failed to qualify to the group stage. ====Ali Daei Era==== In July 2015 Saba announced that legendary former Iranian footballer and coach Ali Daei would lead the club for the 2015–16 Persian Gulf Pro League season.

Guadalupe Mountains National Park is an American national park in the Guadalupe Mountains, east of El Paso, Texas. The mountain range includes Guadalupe Peak, the highest point in Texas at , and El Capitan used as a landmark by travelers on the route later followed by the Butterfield Overland Mail stagecoach line. The ruins of a stagecoach station stand near the Pine Springs visitor center. The restored Frijole Ranch contains a small museum of local history and is the trailhead for Smith Spring. The park covers in the same mountain range as Carlsbad Caverns National Park, about to the north in New Mexico. The Guadalupe Peak Trail winds through pinyon pine and Douglas-fir forests as it ascends over to the summit of Guadalupe Peak, with views of El Capitan and the Chihuahuan Desert. The McKittrick Canyon trail leads to a stone cabin built in the early 1930s as the vacation home of Wallace Pratt, a petroleum geologist who donated the land. Dog Canyon, on the northern park boundary at the Texas-New Mexico State line, is accessed via Carlsbad, New Mexico or Dell City, Texas. Camping is available at the Pine Springs campground and at Dog Canyon. A public corral for livestock is available by reservation. The Gypsum sand dunes lie on the west side of the park near Dell City. A rough four-wheel drive road leads to the Williams Ranch. ==History== The Guadalupe Mountains give their name to the Guadalupian series in the Permian period. The International Commission on Stratigraphy estimates the mountain range's age at 272–260 Mya. The mountains have had a tumultuous history for thousands of years. Archaeological evidence shows that people have lived there lived over 10,000 years in and among the many caves and alcoves. Hunter-gatherers followed large game and collected edible vegetation, as evidenced by the discovery of projectile points, baskets, pottery and rock art. The first Europeans to arrive in the area were the Spanish in the 16th century, but they did not make serious attempts to settle in the area. The Spanish introduced horses; nomadic indigenous tribes like the Apaches soon found them an asset for hunting and migrating. Mescalero Apaches followed game and harvested the agave (or mescal) for food and fiber (Mescalero is Spanish for mescal-maker). Agave roasting pits and other artifacts of Mescalero culture can be found in the park. The Mescalero Apaches occupied the mountains through the mid-19th century, but were challenged by an American transportation route at the end of the American Civil War. During the 1840s and 1850s, many immigrants travelled west crossed the area. In 1858, Pinery Station was constructed near Pine Springs for the Butterfield Overland Mail. The Butterfield Overland Mail crossed Guadalupe Pass, located at above sea level. The 9th Cavalry Regiment was ordered to the area to stop Indian raids on settlements and the mail stage route. During the winter of 1869, Lt. H.B. Cushing led his troops into the Guadalupe Mountains and destroyed two Mescalero Apache camps. They were eventually driven out of the area and into US reservations. Felix McKittrick was one of the first European settlers in the Guadalupe Mountains; he worked cattle during the 1870s. McKittrick Canyon is thought to be named after him. Frijole Ranch was the first permanent ranch house, constructed in 1876 by the Rader brothers. It became the only major building in the region and served as a community center and regional post office from 1916 to 1942. Today, it has been restored and serves as a cultural museum. In 1908 Williams Ranch House was built, and it was named after one of its inhabitants, James Adolphus Williams. Judge J.C. Hunter from Van Horn, Texas consolidated most of the smaller ranches in the area into the Guadalupe Mountain Ranch. In 1921, Wallace Pratt, a geologist for Humble Oil and Refining Company, was impressed by the beauty of McKittrick Canyon and bought the land to build two houses there. Both were used as summer homes by Pratt and his family up until 1960. Wallace Pratt donated about of McKittrick Canyon which became part of Guadalupe Mountains National Park, which was dedicated and formally opened to the public in September, 1972. ==Geography== The Guadalupe Mountains reach their highest point at Guadalupe Peak, the highest point in Texas, with an elevation of . The range lies southeast of the Sacramento Mountains and east of the Brokeoff Mountains. The mountain range extends north-northwest and northeast from Guadalupe Peak in Texas into New Mexico. The northeastern extension ends about southwest of Carlsbad, near White's City and Carlsbad Caverns National Park; the southwest tip ends with El Capitan about east of El Paso. The mountains rise more than above the arid floor of the Chihuahuan Desert. The Guadalupe Mountains are surrounded by the South Plains to the east and north, Delaware Mountains to the south, and Sacramento Mountains to the west. The northwestern extension, bounded by a dramatic escarpment known as "The Rim", extends much further into New Mexico, approaching close to the Sacramento Mountains. The range is bordered on the north by Four Mile Canyon; on the east by the valley of the Pecos River; and on the west by Piñon Creek, Big Dog Canyon, Valley Canyon, Middle Dog Canyon and West Dog Canyon. Much of the range is built from the ancient Capitán Reef, formed at the margins of a shallow sea during the Permian Period. As the range is built up almost entirely of limestone, upland areas have little or no surface water. The only significant surface water is McKittrick Creek, in McKittrick Canyon, which emerges from the eastern side of the massif, just south of the New Mexico border. Elevations at the base of the range vary from above sea level on the western side to on the east. Several peaks on the southern end exceed . ==Climate== According to the Köppen climate classification system, Guadalupe Mountains National Park has a Cold Desert Climate (BWk). The plant hardiness zone on Guadalupe Peak is 7b with an average annual extreme minimum temperature of 6.1 °F (-14.4 °C). The Guadalupe Mountains experience relatively hot summers, calm, mild autumn weather, and cool to cold weather in winter and early spring. Snow storms, sleet storms, freezing rain, or fog may occur in winter or early spring. Frequent high wind warnings are issued during winter through spring. Late summer monsoons produce thunderstorms. Nights are cool, even in summer. ==Ecology== Three major ecosystems are contained within the park. The Chihuahuan Desert exhibits salt flats, creosote bushes, and honey mesquite on the western side of the park, with low elevations on the eastern side covered with grassland, pinyon pine, and junipers. The canyon interiors, including McKittrick, Bear, and Pine Springs Canyon, exhibit bigtooth maple, velvet ash, chinkapin oak, and other deciduous trees that are fed by springs recharged by mountain streams. Finally, alpine areas more than above sea level contain forests of ponderosa pine, Arizona pine, southwestern white pine, Rocky Mountain Douglas-fir, alligator juniper, and small stands of quaking aspen. The range contains many large cave systems, including Carlsbad Caverns and Lechuguilla Cave. The history of the range includes occupation by ancient Pueblo and Mogollon peoples, and by the Apache and various outlaws in the 19th century. ===Fauna=== Mammals that inhabit this national park include elk, javelina, gray fox, American black bear, coyote, bobcat, striped and , badger, sixteen species of bat, mule deer, and cougar. Birds of this park include great horned owl, chickadee, sparrow, barn owl, woodpecker, turkey vulture, greater roadrunner,

Joseph Joel Hammond (1886 – 22 September 1918) was a pioneering New Zealand aviator. On 17 January 1914 at Epsom showgrounds he took New Zealand's first military plane, a Blériot XI-2, for its first flight. ==Early life== Born in Fielding in the Manawatu District of the North Island of New Zealand, on 19 July 1886. he grew up on his family's farm at Rangitikei. He attended Campbell Street School in Palmerston North, then, during 1899–1901, St Patrick's College, Wellington. At the age of 18 he left New Zealand for Australia in late 1904. After briefly working on a sheep station, he travelled via Hawaii to work as a gold prospector on the Klondike in Canada. When gold mining proved unprofitable he trapped animals in Alaska before heading south and spending much of 1905 working on a cattle ranch near Phoenix in Arizona. He left the United States on 20 November, returning to New Zealand for a brief holiday before he returned to the United States via Sydney, Fiji and Hawaii, arriving in Vancouver, Canada on 9 April 1908. He traveled south to the United States and eventually joined William F. Cody, aka Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show. Cody's final European tour had ended in 1907 and, in 1908, he and Pawnee Bill, another showman, joined forces and created the "Buffalo Bill’s Wild West and Pawnee Bill’s Great Far East, popularly known as the "Two Bill’s" show. After six months with the "Two Bill’s" show he left in 1908 and toured much of Europe, apparently using the East Sussex seaside town of Seaford as a base. It was while here that he married Ethelwyn Wilkinson, a local woman in 1909. ==Enters aviation== Excited by the development of aviation Hammond obtained some flying tuition from Léon Delagrange, probably at Reims. In July 1910 after attending the second of the famous annual Reims flying meetings, Hammond obtained further instruction from Henri Molla at the Sanchez-Besa school at Mourmelon (Camp de Châlons). As a result, shortly after his marriage Hammond was able to gain from the Aéro-Club de France his French Aviators Certificate (No.258) on 4 October 1910, flying a Sanchez-Besa Biplane. In so doing he became the first New Zealander to obtain a flying certificate. Returning to England he was granted Royal Aero Club aviators certificate 32 on 22 November 1910, after demonstrating his skill flying a Bristol Boxkite at Salisbury Plain. His new qualifications allowed him to obtain a position as a salesman and demonstration pilot with the British and Colonial Aeroplane Company (later known as the Bristol Aeroplane Company) which was manufacturing the Bristol Boxkite. ==Flights in Australia== The company sent Hammond (accompanied by his wife, Sydney E. Smith, the company's manager, mechanic/pilot Leslie F. Macdonald and a staff of mechanics as well as two Boxkites to Australia in an attempt to interest the Australian government in purchasing aircraft for military reconnaissance. Had they were successful, the intention was to establish a factory in Melbourne to build the planes. They disembarked from the R.M.S. Omrah in Fremantle on 13 13 December 1910 and transferred to Perth. After assembling machine No. 10 Hammond made the first aircraft flight in West Australia from Perth's Belmont Park Racecourse on 3 January 1911. Hammond made the final of the seven flights he made in Perth on 12 January 1911, after which the aircraft was dismantled and shipped to Melbourne. Setting up their flight headquarters in Altona, a suburb of Melbourne and reassembling an aircraft, Hammond on 18 February 1911, undertook the aircraft aloft for his first flight in Victoria. On 20 February 1911, he flew from Altona to Geelong and landed on the Geelong Racecourse, taking 55 minutes to cover 42 miles (67.6 km). The following day Hammond returned to Altona, having made the first cross-country flights in Australia. On 23 February, also from Altona, Hammond made the first passenger flight in Australia, taking Frank Coles, one of the Bristol mechanics, for a 7½ minute flight. Later that same day he took his wife, Ethelwyn for a 12½ minute flight, making her the first woman to fly in Australia. On 2 March 1911, local businessman, M. H. Baillieu, paid to be taken for a flight. This 11.8 mile (19 km) circular journey was the first paid charter flight and also the first carrying an Australian citizen as a passenger. On 26 March 1911 Hammond flew with both Leslie McDonald and mechanic Coles as passengers to demonstrate the weight carrying performance of the Boxkite. This was the first multiple passenger flight in Australia. Hammond made a total of 40 flights in Melbourne before the team relocated to Sydney. On 18 April 1911 Hammond made the first-ever flight in Sydney, flying from the site of what would become Sydney Airport. This was the first of several aerial displays and flights for fee-paying passengers over in Sydney While official observers from the Australian Army had observed these demonstrations and were also taken for flights, in a further attempt to obtain orders from the military Hammond with a Captain Niechy as passenger flew 20 miles on 3 May from Botany Bay at Sydney to a cavalry training camp at Liverpool. He landed in the presence of the governor general, Lord Dudley and Brigadier General J. M. Gordon. The following day he flew Lt Colonel Antill on an observation flight of the Liverpool camp. During his five months in Australia Hammond flew over 65 flights (some of them with his wife as passenger). Leslie Macdonald gave further demonstration flights in Sydney before the Bristol tour finished on 9 May 1911. While Hammond was not the first person to fly in Australia, prior to the arrival of the Bristol team the others had only made short hops or flew at very low heights. In comparison, the Boxkite flew higher, further, carried out display flying and took up passengers, all under the complete control of the pilot. McDonald took a photographer from the Daily Telegraph for a 25-minute flight over Sydney on 6 May, making the first aerial photographs to be taken in Australia. By 19 May, 72 flights totalling 765 miles (1231 km) had been made by No. 10. Machine No. 11, still in its crate, was sold to Parramatta dentist W.E. Hart who was given flying lessons by Leslie McDonald. Hart subsequently used the aircraft to become the first Australian to gain a aviator's certificate. When the Bristol team left for home Hammond and his wife remained behind and travelled to New Zealand introducing his wife to family and friends. During the holiday Hammond was admitted to hospital, first with appendicitis, followed by a bout of pneumonia and then blood poisoning in the leg. It was six months before he was well enough to travel back to England. Hammond and his wife returned in May 1912 to England by way of Sydney, Vancouver and New York. ==Flights in New Zealand== Upon his return to England, Hammond continued working for the British and Colonial Aeroplane Co. until August 1912, when he took a position as an instructor at the Eastbourne Aviation Company's school. On 26 February 1913, Hammond joined the Royal Flying Corps Military Wing with the rank of 2nd lieutenant. In February 1913 the privately organised Imperial Air Fleet Committee (I.A.F.C.) presented the New Zealand government with a Blériot XI-2. Prior to being gifted to New Zealand, Hamel, with Frank Dupee as passenger, had already flown the aircraft from Dover to Cologne, covering the 340 miles in four hours and 18 minutes. Thomas Mackenzie, the high commissioner for New Zealand, officially received the gift on behalf of Mew Zealand at Hendon on 22 May 1913 (during which it was christened Britannia by Baroness Ettie Desborough, the wife of the president of the I.A.F.C.). Immediately afterwards former New Zealand premier Joseph Ward, who was present at the presentation, to the disquietude of his wife and daughter was taken for a flight in the machine by Gustav Hamel, followed in a later flight by Baron Desborough before it was disassembled for shipping. Hammond was subsequently hired on 12 November 1913 to travel to New Zealand and demonstrate the Britannia. The airplane was shipped aboard the and arrived at Wellington, New Zealand, on 29 September without its propeller, which was still back in Hendon, England. Hammond had originally proposed to fly the aircraft to Auckland but was turned down, and instead the military shipped it by train. The propeller subsequently arrived in Wellington on 23 December 1913 on the SS Tainui but was not made available until 7 January 1914, when it was railed to Auckland and fitted to the aircraft. Once the aircraft was ready Hammond flew a trial flight over Auckland on 18 January 1914 The following day Hammond, with the consent of the military, attempted to take a reporter for a flight, but he had to abort the takeoff and narrowly missed crashing the aircraft into a fence. The next planned flight was to be over the city's Industrial, Agricultural and Mining exhibition on 29 January. However, on the evening of 28 January 1914, on the spur of the moment, he took Australian actress Esme McLennan of the Royal Pantomime Company on a 20-minute-long flight. It was like just nothing I’ve ever experienced before, and so it’s quite hard to tell a real story about it. Mr Hammond is staying at the same hotel, and I expressed a wish to go up if ever he felt inclined to take a passenger. The aviator was not quite sure about the Britannia when it came to carrying a passenger, however, and he would make no promise. On Wednesday I went out with others of our party, after visiting the Exhibition, to see Mr Hammond fly. It was an absolute surprise to me when he said, ‘I’ll take a passenger; will you come?’ I didn’t wait to be asked twice, and at once got into the passenger’s seat. I honestly didn’t feel the least wee bit nervous. On the contrary, the feeling I was most conscious of was one of pleasurable excitement. And, do you know, the first feeling, once away, was how simple and safe it was. I’d somehow pictured aviators as having to be tied in, or having to hold on tight. On the Britannia I never even thought about being frightened, or of being anything else but comfortable and pleased. The machine left the ground so easily, and we mounted into the air so naturally, that it somehow seemed to inspire confidence. It is surprisingly difficult to analyse now what my sensations were. I only know that I was wonderfully elated, and that I just enjoyed every moment of it. From your volcanic cones I have often looked out over Auckland, and thought it the loveliest place in the world, but viewed from an aeroplane, at a height of nearly 2,000ft, it was like a glimpse of something almost unreal. The city itself looked big enough, but the houses, and the people seemed like those Gulliver must have met with on his famous travels. We were travelling faster than I have ever travelled in the fastest express trains, but there was not even the slightest vibration, nor was there any sensation that was other than entirely pleasant. When we can actually journey from one place to another without the fatigue of train travelling or the drawbacks of a sea voyage, how delightful it is going to be. When we descended it was all just equally simple, and apparently equally easy. Coming down the water chute two hours before, my friends had teased me because I was actually scared. Coming down to earth from the skies on the Britannia never gave me one nervous thought. We landed as skilfully and as easily as we went up. I’m sorry I can’t describe by experience in more graphic terms, but I’m a woman, and I can best express myself when I use a woman’s phrase, and simply say it was ‘just lovely’. I was more elated while in the air than I think I’ve ever been about any first-night success at the theatre, and I really think I’m more excited about it now, when it’s all over, than I was while actually in the air. This unauthorised flight, and especially with an actress instead of a male dignitary, caused consternation among the male politicians and military officials. As a result, no further flights were permitted, and Hammond's contract was terminated for his lapse in protocol. While the aircraft remained on display for the rest of the exhibition, it was later sent back to Wellington and placed in storage in the autumn of 1914. The New Zealand Government offered it for service in World War One, and it returned to the UK in October 1914 with the 1NZEF First Echelon. A replica was built by David Comrie at his home in Dunedin and is now on display in the Air Force Museum of New Zealand at Wigram in Christchurch, New Zealand. The Bleriot is displayed as it would have looked on its exhibition flight, with Hammond in the front and Esme McLennan as his passenger. ==World War I== Hammond returned to England arriving in mid-August 1914 and was attached to the Royal Flying Corp as an instructor. He was posted from 1 Reserve Aeroplane Squadron to France with the Expeditionary Force on 26 February 1915. Less than two months later, on 21 April, he returned to 1 RAS. He also spent another two weeks in France before a posting to 4 RAS in May 1915. There are no records as to whether he saw any action during his time in France. In March 1915 Hammond was confirmed in his rank of 2nd lieutenant, being promoted to lieutenant the next month, which was later backdated to 26 November 1914. In January 1916 he was promoted from flying officer to flight commander with the rank of captain. In December 1915 Hammond was transferred to the Aeronautical Inspection Department and throughout 1916 was involved in testing and evaluating new aircraft, among them the Robey-Peters Gun-Carrier. While his maiden flight in the aircraft was successful, during a subsequent flight on 16 September 1916 the engine caught fire, and, unable to reach the airfield at Lincoln, he crash landed in a lunatic asylum. Many onlookers assumed that Hammond had died in the crash, but he was later found having a shave in a barber's shop in Lincoln. During the maiden flight of the second prototype the following year, the aircraft stalled on takeoff and flipped over as it hit the ground, Hammond's life being saved by the size of the tail section. In 1918 he was attached to the British Aviation Mission which left from Liverpool on 27 March 19818 arrived in New York in April 1918 to advise and promote aviation in the United States. Believing he had a better job in England, Hammond was unhappy with the appointment as his work basically involved giving exhibition flights as part of a joint American-British Liberty Bonds team. In late May 1918 Hammond had a narrow escape when evaluating a US-designed Standard M-Defence (prototype for the Standard E-I). The machine had previously been test-flown at Mineola, New York, on 21 May by, Lt. C.F Soulier a member of the French Military Mission, who suggested several minor modifications be made to the aircraft. After the modifications had been completed, Hammond attempted to fly the machine from Mineola Field to Washington, D.C., but the engine seized, resulting in it crashing in New Jersey. Hammond walked away from the crash with minor injuries. An investigation later found that Hammond had apparently taken off without checking the oil, and the flight had not been officially authorized. After giving a flying display during the Fourth Liberty Loan War Bond Drive air display at Greenfield, Hammond was returning to the mission's base at an airfield in Indianapolis on 22 September 1918 in a Bristol Fighter F.2B. In return for the hospitality he had been shown at the air display, he offered a ride to Indianapolis to Lt Roy W. Pickett of the US Army Air Service (who was home on leave) and local businessman John Lawrence Kinder. As the aircraft approached the airfield at about 5:30 pm, it went into a right-hand spin from 600 feet (183 m), its left wing striking a tree before crashing in a cornfield of the Marion County Poor Farm near its boundary with the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Hammond and Kinder were killed on impact, while Pickett escaped with a broken right leg and a lacerated jaw and shock. Hammond's funeral was held in Indianapolis with thousands, including a firing squad of American and British aviation officers, attending the ceremony, at which the bishop of Indianapolis officiated. Hammond was cremated and his remains were then stored in the family mausoleum of Carl Fisher, the founder of the Indianapolis speedway. Fisher had donated his own plot in the mausoleum in the expectation that Hammond's family could come and claim the remains after the war. Hammond's remains were never collected and still reside in Carl Fisher's mausoleum at Crown Hill Cemetery in Indianapolis. It is believed that by the time of his death he had accumulated over 6,000 flying hours. ==Personal life== On 19 November 1909 he married Ethelwyn Wilkinson (1887–1951) from Seaford. After Hammond's death she moved back home to live with her parents and did not remarry, dying at the age of 64 in Hailsham. ==Legacy== By the time of his death Hammond had 'become almost a legendary hero' according to the editor of The Aeroplane. A plaque unveiled on 15 April 2011 at Hammond Place, Mascot honours his 18 April 1911 flight over Sydney. The plaque reads: On the 18th April 1911, Captain Joseph Joel Hammond, a New Zealander, flew a Bristol box-kite biplane on a flight that lasted less than 10 minutes. Thousands of paying spectators crowded what was then the Ascot Racecourse to see one man in a flying contraption fly a course of about 10 kilometres. == Notes== ==References== ==External links== Britannia Rules the Skies – The Flight of J.J.

Sidney Hunt (1896–1940) was a British draughtsman, painter, poet and editor who published the avant-garde journal Ray between 1926 and 1927. ==Life== Sidney James Hunt was born in 1896 and studied at the Slade School of Fine Art in London. During the 1920s he designed bookplates and contributed modern-style drawings for several international art magazines, such as Artwork, Der Querschnitt, Der Sturm, Tambour and Contimporanul. Hunt also published experimental poems in modern journals, such as Transition, Seed, and A Magazine of New Rhythms. In October 1925, he held his first solo exhibition at the Mayor Gallery in London. Between 1926 and 1932, he was a member of the Seven and Five Society, one of the most progressive art societies in interwar England. In 1926 and 1927, Hunt edited the avant-garde magazine Ray, which has been described as the English equivalent of influential art journals from the 1920s such as Merz, Mecano and De Stijl. Ray featured work of leading figures of the European avant-garde such as Kurt Schwitters, El Lissitzky, Theo van Doesburg, Naum Gabo and Hans Arp. It has been said that Hunt died in his studio in 1940, aged forty-four, during The Blitz. ==Style== Much of Hunt's work is homoerotic; he had homosexual patrons like Sir Edward Marsh; Alfred Flechtheim reproduced his Ganymede in Der Querschnitt (1921, VIII, p. 346); his drawings of boys appeared with those of Ralph Chubb in The Island in 1931; the bookplates he produced feature naked youths; and Oswell Blakeston published his experimental prose poem fantasies of 18-year-old hermaphrodites in the first, 1933 issue of Seed (p. 7). His themes included boys bathing, sunbathing, posing with pansies and possibly boy prostitutes on a "Saturday afternoon" in Artwork (1924, I, p. 75). He is one of the few modernist artists to use abstraction to express the essentials of male beauty in simplified forms like his painting of "Ganymede" or by contrasts of black and white as in "Drawing" (1922). As Candela has speculated, he may also be the creator of the photomontages that he published in Ray (pp. 2, 15 and 27), as by the otherwise unknown P. Capeli. His work as a pioneer of British modernism and as an abstract gay artist deserves much more reassessment. == References == == External links == Sidney Hunt's bookplate with Nietzsche quote "Curved is the path of eternity", Library of Congress, Washington DC.

==Extract from Bcorr== Wouldn't it be easier to make the real edit in the first place? What I wrote was accurate. What I replaced was somewhere on the scale from culturally niave to racist. I was not insulting. I did not say "filthy, lecherous Westerners". You reverted. You could have done the edit you suggest I do. You have corrected me but you have not corrected Wikipedia. If you are concerned about Wikipedia then you should remove the pre-exisiting inaccurate insult. Otherwise please explain the motivation for your action. I don't monitor others' Talk pages. Reply to mine, please. Paul Beardsell My point is simple. If there's a problem, correct it. Adding facetious text in in attempt to get someone else to fix the problem you found is not generally productive. Thanks, BCorr ¤ Брайен To make my point more plain: Imagine if on the American Cuisine page there was the equally misleading comment Kentucky Fried Chicken is usually eaten at brothels. Paul Beardsell and that was replaced by KFC is sometimes fed to North African tourists at so-called restaurants. Then I would change it without adding something about overfed Americans eating ersatz Southern cuisine at a multinational fast-food chain... :::For the record, my change was not of the above character, but was unemotive and factual. What BCorr is objecting to (I think) is the phrasing of the comment I made about my change. The actual edit is itself difficult to object to as it is both unemotionally phrased and accurate. It is not "facetious", as alleged. View the moroccan cuisine version log and diffs. Paul Beardsell :In reply: You also had the opportunity but did not take it. The reversion was unnecessary policing. With the same effort you could have made the constructive change you want me to make. You have blindly crossed the street to correct a jay walker. Paul Beardsell ::Whatever :::To make your point about how I could act more constructively you reverted a Wikipedia article to an inaccurate version. That's "whatever". Paul Beardsell I'm guilty of starting this edit war. I wrote about the belly dancing in the original article back in 2001. See the original article for all the discliamers. Honestly, in the US, belly dancing and Morrocco restaurants seem to be unseparable. I prefer the misconcept/stereotyping to be pointed out explicitly instead of simply removing it and pretend it is not there. To the Westerners, this article reads funny and incomplete when there is no mention of belly dancing. Kowloonese To Westerners who have actualy been to Morocco, it wouldn't. ==Picture== I replaced the picture of a woman pouring tea - it's a rather encyclopedic and interesting photo, far less sterile than just endless photos of food plates. Shows people doing things, showing how they serve the cuisine, etc. This article could do with more pictures like that. I don't see why "privacy" is a concern here. FCYTravis My two worries Travis are about privacy as well as the non-representative aspect of the tradition that the picture communicates! It is about a little ceremony and not using a non Moroccan pot w/ no hard sugar cones or in pieces, no mint! The point is that the mint and the coned sugar are as much important as tea itself. It is a randomly chosen pic and totally ignores the tradition that a pic is set to reflect. I'll do my best to get a right one. Cheers OK, but I want to make clear that privacy is not an issue... it's a photo released by its creator into the Creative Commons. That makes it perfectly legitimate to use. If you can find/get one that's more representative of the ceremonies involved in tea drinking, by all means do so. FCYTravis I agree with you Travis. The picture is legit. However, ethically, I am not sure if the subject is informed about it. I don't mind if it is kept until another one could be found. Cheers Travis. Hi, Fayssal! On the issue of the picture: Wikipedia includes loads and loads of Creative Commons pictures of people. The whole point of submitting pictures to the commons is that you are allowing people to use the picture without having to get in contact with you to confirm your permission. Wikipedia will lose a great many of its pictures if we now decide that we don't trust the Commons license, and that we must contact the subject of every picture to make sure they don't mind having their picture used. We really need to accept that the Commons license constitutes permission. But if the tea-set and accoutrements are unrepresentative of Morocco, that's another matter entirely (though the picture's file does say it was taken in a Moroccan village). Anyway, hope things are good with RfAs are going well! I'm very happy about that! :-) Babajobu :Hi Baba ;) - Yes, the point about privacy is understood but my main reason about this whinning from my part related to the tradition more than to any other thing. I don't know if you've already drunk Moroccan tea before (I mean not in a Coffee shop) but the picture is more about the person than the subject itself. As I said, it's called Thé à la mente - à la Marocaine and not Tea poured from a pot designed in China. It is simply having a pic of a Moroccan eating a Big Mac and post it in the snacks and food section that I developed lately. Cheers :: Fayssal, I actually returned from Agadir only a week-and-a-half ago, but sadly, though I enjoyed the mint tea, I didn't notice the set-up very much! I did notice how they poured the tea from several feet above the cups, which was very neat and is shown in the picture, but I totally accept your statement that the tea-set is not representative. I didn't put the pic in here, and I'm happy to see it replaced by a more accurate one, if we can find it. Regards! Babajobu ::: So you got your mini-wiki-vacation in Agadir? lol! I didn't know about that. Same Baba, I can't just remove it and that's why we are discussing it. And I totally agree about keeping it until another better and rep pic is found. No worries! - Cheers :::: My mini-wikivacation grows more pathetic by the day, huh! :-) lol, okay, see you around! Babajobu ==Don't Moroccans Eat Vegetables?== The bit on the dishes of Morocco only lists meats. How Eurocentric is that? Vegetables really are important in the whole food experience, as vegetable cooking style indicates what grows locally and what people do to make vegetables taste good. Couscous doesn't count, by the way, it's a grain.

== Coordinate error == The following coordinate fixes are needed for The loss of Ndola DC-6 with Dag Hammarskjöld (Sept. 18, 1961) is back in the news, with the release of the report from an investigation into the death of the U.N. General Assembly president July 6, 2015. Coordinates of the crash site are listed at 13°N. More likely 13°S. —Prospero Septem (talk) Yes, you're clearly right about that. Thanks for pointing out the error. Deor (talk) == Map == This article and the one on Hammerskjold himself include a map which shows the routes of his plane and a decoy plane. However, except for the map's caption this decoy is not mentioned anywhere in either article. 24.61.4.237 (talk) The conspiracy theorists make a number of mistakes. 1) Having filed a false flight plan at Leopoldville, the flight crew of the DC-6 refused to give more than cursory information to the ATC at Ndola as the flight was secret and for security reasons normal flight information was withheld. The ground staff at Ndola hence had no idea that the delay in landing was because the aircraft had crashed, as they were unaware of the aircraft's possible diversions, other routes, etc., when it failed to turn up. 2) The NSA had no listening station on Cyprus. The only such thing on the island was the British MI6 one at RAF Akrotiri. Any fighter aircraft in Zambia is miles out of VHF radio range of Cyprus - the distance is over 3,000 miles. Hence they couldn't have heard a pilot radioing that he had attacked the DC-6. In addition, for such an illegal and illicit act only an amateur would state such a thing on the radio knowing he might be overheard. 3) The DC-6 impacted in the dark a 4,000 ft wooded hill that was not marked on the flight chart the crew were using for their approach. The area surrounding Ndola Airport was mostly scrubland without any lights, hence in the dark there are few visual clues as to height. 4) The DC-6 was lower than cleared-to when it made its turn having overshot the airfield. It subsequently hit the hill while in the circuit. 5) The flight crew were tired having been on duty since the previous morning. 6) MI5 are the British internal security service and they have no remit for operations outside the UK. Probable cause - A tired crew who had never visited Ndola overshot the unfamiliar airfield in the dark and then descended below their cleared altitude into an unlit wooded hill that was not marked on their approach map. BTW, the scene of the accident, Southern Rhodesia, was at the time a British colony. Of course the investigating officials would be British. There were no other qualified people within several thousand miles.

That is basically why this is notable after all. It would also be an easy way of avoid the current, slightly convoluted, title.—Brigade Piron (talk) I agree. Disagree. Title follows wikiproject's guidelines. And is about the accident and its investigation.

== Red Summer of 1919 == Glad to see you added some material to the Red Summer of 1919 entry. Do you plan to add more? I've been working on it and was planning to go through the Encyclopedia of American Race Riots next week. I'm mostly interested in beefing up Red Summer of 1919 and then adding material from it to the very poor (IMHO) entry for First Red Scare. Bmclaughlin9 (talk) It's really wonderful work you've done there. It really needed that attention. I won't be focusing on it but I'll try to add something here and there. I came back to this topic in part because of some edits at Duluth lynchings, which I've worked on extensively, and which has, interestingly, sometimes been visited by a descendant of a man involved in the lynchings, who published a book about his sadness and anxiety upon discovering his family connection to the violence. That entry now seems to have had a couple edits from an artist involved with commemorating the tragedy. If you're interested in the subject, there's a really moving 14-minute film about the 1920 Duluth lynchings and their commemoration, linked at bottom from that entry. Anyway, keep up the great work. I'll make some contributions to those pages, though they won't be as transformative as what you've already done there. Cheers, DBaba (talk) == Valley of the wolves == Hi, you have removed the phrase "by western media" from the sentence "The film has been widely criticized by western media". I am aware of the policies of Wiki, but the assertion was self evident without being an original research IMO. If you look at the sources, it is clear(and you seem to agree, given your edit comment). But the danger here in removing is that "widely criticized" gives the impression that the condemnation was universal whereas in fact only Western media had a problem with it. With most of the world's population and media living outside West, wouldn't it be fair either to include that sentence or alternatively, to remove the part "widely" from "widely criticized" as there is no citation for that either(apart from assuming that it is also self evident)? Zencv Whisper I believe that "widely criticized" is adequately cited; Israeli, German, and American sources are present. There is nothing suggesting that this criticism is Western-centric in the citations, and adding that into a sentence with numerous citations implies that the claim is supported by those citations. Know what I mean? So it should appear in a discrete sentence with its own citation, if available. That aside, I certainly respect your perspective, and I'm sure there are citations to back it up. Cheers, DBaba (talk) == Cave of the Patriarchs massacre == Please note that I gave valid arguments for my edits to Cave of the Patriarchs massacre, while you restore your text with only the claim that I should seek consensus. Now why should that claim pertain to me more than it does to you, and why didn't you seek consensus before making your edits?? Debresser (talk) That you deem it unimportant, this is not valid reasoning. We'll talk it out. Cheers, DBaba (talk) Ok, meet you on the talk page. Debresser (talk) ==Robert Spencer criticism== Hello. I occasionally check articles that I've edited in the past to see what changes have been made since I edited. I noticed that at Robert Spencer (writer), you reverted my edit but did not address my concerns posted on the article's talk page, although my edit summary pointed editors to the talk page. Two other editors had expressed a positive opinion of the NPOV treatment that I had attempted. I'm left wondering why you chose to restore that text. Would you be kind enough to drop by the article's talk page and add a short note explaining why you think that text should have been restored? Thank you, and happy editing! 152.16.59.102 (talk) I like what you did with the article. That looks well-balanced and still leaves the "meat" of the criticism section. Thank you for taking the time to tidy up that section. 152.16.59.102 (talk) Thanks for giving me the chance to straighten it out. Cheers, DBaba (talk) == Edit warring on Cave etc. == I have posted you on WP:ANI again, see DBaba. Debresser (talk) You knew I was going to ask you to the same dance! Cheers, DBaba (talk) You know come to think of it, although inconceivable IMHO, a ban from that page would be a freakin gift to me. I would have done everything in my power to prevent the injustice I see being done there: Everything. I would be free: No longer morally liable to act, by virtue of my knowing what you're doing there. Because I am fortunate enough not to be a party in this macabre comedy, I could just move on and not look back on the page and its direction. And thank God I am not bound to this ugliness by the fabric of my identity, so that I need not carry the lies and corpses on my back the rest of my life. But even if that were the case there would still be a way out: a reworking of my identity, so that no shameful things are admitted. No slyness, no backward-lookingness, no preconceptions, standing against all murderers, in a great big world of potential allies, or at least people who would be your allies if they truly knew you, because you would know yourself to be loyal to humanity. But if we make our identity into something sneaky, if we organize our identity in a premodern way, and we evaluate humans on the wrong axises, we invite much grief. So, I guess I have religious views myself. And in keeping with them, I forgive you completely. DBaba (talk) ==GA reassessment of African American culture== I have conducted a reassessment of the above article following its listing at Good articles/Cleanup listing#Articles with 4 cleanup categories assigned.

Hud (هود, ), is the 11th chapter (Surah) of the Quran with 123 verses (ayat). It is about the prophet Hud. Regarding the timing and contextual background of the revelation (asbāb al-nuzūl), it is an earlier "Meccan surah", which means it is believed to have been revealed in Mecca, instead of later in Medina. Q11:105-112 is preserved in the Ṣan‘ā’1 lower text. ==Summary== 1-2 The Quran a revelation from God 3-5 Muhammad a warner and a preacher of goodness 6 Infidels cannot hide their sin from God 7-8 God the Creator and Preserver of all creatures 8 The resurrection rejected by the infidels as sorcery 9 They scoff at threatened punishment 10-11 Mercy and judgment alike disregarded by infidels 12 Those who persevere in good works shall be rewarded 13 The unbelievers demand a sign from heaven 14 Muhammad charged with forging the Qurán 14-15 He challenges the infidels to produce ten chapters like it, or to become Muslims 16-17 The miserable fate of those who live for this present world 18 Moses and the Jews attest the truth of the Qurán 19-23 The maligners of prophets shall be cursed 24 The blessed portion of believers 25 Similitudes of believers and unbelievers The History of Noah 26-27 He is sent as a public preacher 28 The chiefs of his people reject him as a liar 29-32 Noah protests his integrity - Refuses to drive away his poor followers - Deprecates being thought a seer or an angel 33 His people challenge him to bring on the threatened judgment 34-35 Noah declares that God destroys and saves whom he pleaseth 36 Noah’s people declare his message a forgery 37 God tells Noah that no more of his people will believe on him 38 He is commanded to make an ark 39 Noah builds the ark and is derided by the people 40-41 Embarks with his followers and one pair each of the animals 42-43 Noah in vain entreats his unbelieving son to embark 44 The waters abate and the ark rests on Al Júdi 45 Noah pleads with God for his son 46 God reproves him for his intercession for his son 47 Noah repents and asks pardon for his fault 48 He descends from the ark 49 This history a secret revealed to Muhammad The History of Hūd 50-52 He is sent to call Ád from idolatry 53 The Ádites reject him as a liar 54-57 Húd protests his integrity, and declares his trust in God to save him from their plots 58 God delivers Húd and his followers 59-60 The Ádites reject their messenger and are destroyed The History of Sálih 61 He is sent to call the Thamúdites from idolatry 62 They reject his message 63-64 Sálih protests his integrity, and gives them a she-camel as a sign from God 65 They kill the camel, and are threatened with destruction 66 Sálih and his followers are saved from destruction 67-68 The Thamúdites are miserably destroyed The History of Abraham and Lot 69 God’s messengers sent to Abraham—He entertains them 70 He is filled with fear because they refuse to eat his meat 70-71 The angels quiet his fears and tell him they are sent to the people of Lot 71-73 Sarah receives the promise of Isaac and Jacob 74 Abraham intercedes for the people of Lot 75 The angels refuse his request 76 Lot is anxious for the safety of his angel visitors 77-79 The Sodomites attack his house 80 The angels warn Lot to leave the city and inform him of the destruction impending over his people and his wife 81-82 The cities are overthrown and the people killed by a shower of bricks The History of Shuaib 83 He is sent to call the Midianites from idolatry 84-86 He reproaches them for dishonest weights and measures 87 The people reject him, refusing to leave their idols 88-90 Shuaib protests his integrity, and exhorts them to flee the fate of the people of Noah, Húd, Sálih, and Lot 91 The people threaten to stone him 92-94 Shuaib threatens them with Divine judgment 95-96 God destroys the infidels, but saves Shuaib and his followers The History of Moses 97 He is sent with signs to Pharaoh and his princes 98-100 They reject him, and are consigned to hell-fire 101-105 Exhortation and warning drawn from the fate of these cities 106-109 The condition of the righteous and wicked in judgment 110 Muhammad not to doubt about the religion of the Quarish 111 The Quarish doubt the Quran as the Jews did the Pentateuch 112 God will punish their evil deeds 113-114 Muhammad exhorted to be steadfast 115 An exhortation to prayer 116-118 God just in destroying the unbelieving cities 119 The unbelievers predestinated to damnation 120 The whole history of the prophets related to Muhammad 121-122 Unbelievers threatened 123 Muhammad exhorted to put his trust in God ==Exegesis== Quran 11 opens with a discussion on the nature of man and the punishment that awaits those who defy God. Thereafter, the main content of the surah is a series of stories of prophets who warned their people to follow God, the people persisting in defying God, and God punishing and killing them. ===25-49 The story of Noah=== Verses 11:25-49 tell the story of Noah and how his people did not believe his commands to follow God. The unbelievers are drowned in a flood, which includes Noah's son; Noah asks God about this act, but God rebukes Noah as being ignorant and says that Noah's son is "not a member of his family." Surah 66, At-Tahrim, elaborates on this and says that Noah's wife is an unbeliever in hell who was unfaithful to her husband. ===50-60 The prophet Hud is sent to the ʿĀd=== Verses 11:50-60 deal with the prophet Hud, the namesake of the Surah. He was sent to the ʿĀd, an Omani tribe which according to history crumbled sometime between the 3rd and 6th century AD. The ʿĀd do not believe Hud, and Hud and those who do believe are rescued by God, followed by God inflicting a "dreadful doom" on them so that they were "accursed in the world." ===61-68 The people of Thamud and the prophet Saleh=== Verses 11:61-68 concern the people of Thamud and the prophet Saleh. Saleh tries to convince Thamud to repent, but once more the unbelievers ignore the prophet. Saleh offers a she-camel as an offering of peace, but says that it should be left alone. If anything befalls it, the people will be punished. The camel is hamstrung, Saleh and those who believe are rescued, and the unbelievers are smitten by a "blast from heaven." ===69-84 Sodom and Gomorrah === The Quranic version of the Biblical story of Sodom and Gomorrah is in Verses 11:69-84. Abraham and Sarah are given the news of their son and grandson's forthcoming birth (Isaac and Jacob), after which they plead for mercy for Lot's people. God refuses the request, saying that the punishment cannot be averted. Lot offers his daughters to the men of Sodom, but they respond with disinterest and say "you know what we want." ===80-84 Homosexuality=== Verses 11:80-84 confirms the Biblical account of homosexuality as being the crime of Lot's people. Angels descend to protect Lot and his daughters, and the city is destroyed by a stone rain. Lot's wife perishes as well. ===85-95 The prophet Shu'aib sent to Midian=== Verse 11:85-95 deal with the prophet Shu'aib sent to Midian. Once more, the people ignore the prophet's warnings; this time, Shu'aib reminds the people of the fate of the people of Noah, Hud, Saleh, and Lot. It doesn't work, and the people spare Shu'aib from death by stoning only because he comes from a powerful clan. Shu'aib and those who believe are rescued by God. Afterward, the unbelievers " seized by a punishment from heaven, and lay overturned in their homes in the morning as though they had not dwelt there at all." The remaining verses discuss the general theme once more, with occasional references to Moses. The harsh punishment is explained as "We did not wrong them; they wronged themselves." Other gods are decried as false, powerless, and useless. Believers are commanded to walk the straight path and follow God, and those who disbelieve will suffer in Hell. ==References== == External links == Quran 11 Clear Quran translation Surah Hud Mp4 Hud

==æ== I'm seeing Cecilius rendered as "Caecilius" in several places including on the charter for the Maryland colony. Does anyone think that's wrong? Does anyone think the "ae" should be rendered with the funky æ character? help! The use of 'ae' vs 'æ' is purely a matter of stylistic choice in Latin and French spelling. It is however not standard usage in English. Latin words and names were commonly transcribed into English by consolidating 'ae' to 'e.' Hence in British English the word 'anaesthetic' is written 'anesthetic' in American English as the spelling reform movement was less conservative in the United States than in Britain. Jm3106jr (talk) I agree that it is stylistic in Latin and French. It is not stylistic nor correct in English. It is appropriate to mention the alternative historic spellings, but this article is in English and the references need to be in English without the typographic ligature. BeadleB (talk) == The Name Baltimore == As I understand, the town Baltimore, Maryland comes from Caecilius calvert, 2nd Baron Baltimore. But where does the name of Baron come from? I cannot find such place in Ireland, at least. Is tehere a possible feedback to America, since the Baltic Sea is in Russian Baltiiskoye More, and in Maryland and Delaware there have been lots of newcomers from Sweden, and very probably Russia, too. Does anybody know? thanks It is (or at least was when the title was created) a place in County Longford. Proteus (Talk) The word Baron is a title of nobility not a place name. Thus the title 2nd Baron Baltimore means that Calvert was the Second Baron of Baltimore in Ireland. The original town of Baltimore - after which the capital of Maryland is named - is located in County Cork on the southwestern Irish coast and not in County Longford. Jm3106jr (talk) ==Date of birth== I know that numerous sources list Cecil's date of birth as August 8, 1605, but Browne (page 4) has him born in 1606. Perhaps this should be mentioned in the article as well. Qblik == Latin Phrase deleted == In the beginning paragraph after Cecil Calvert, 2nd Lord Baltimore's full title, I deleted the following sentence: "A Latin term is 'Scvto Bonae Volvntatis Tvae Coronasti Nos, 1632'." This is not a Latin version of his title, but is a text encircling the reverse side of the original colonial seal of the Province of Maryland and is still used as the Great Seal of the State of Maryland today. The Latin text encircling the seal, Scuto bonæ voluntatis tuæ coronasti nos, is from Psalm 5:12 in the Vulgate, the Latin bible. It translates as "Thou hast crowned us with the shield of thy goodwill." The founding date of the colony, 1632, completes the text. Jm3106jr (talk) == Burial Site Incorrect in Article? == This article claims the 2nd Baron is buried in the USA on city hall grounds in Baltimore. The site states he is buried at St. Gile's-in-the-Fields Church, London, England, this seems more likely as he never visited Maryland. If anyone knows definitively please correct the article, it would be appreciated. Link to the "" article below. Update: This error appears to have been fixed. #i26146 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.244.91.35 (talk) == Roman Catholicism not official == The Province of Maryland was never officially Roman Catholic. Trinitarian Christians, including Catholics, were officially tolerated according to the Maryland Toleration Act of 1649, although the Act was temporarily rescinded in favor of Protestants between 1654-1658. Toleration lasted another 31 years until it was ended permanently during the Protestant Revolution of 1689. Roman Catholics and non-Protestants would not be fully emancipated for 87 more years in Maryland until the American Revolution of 1776. Jm3106jr (talk) / == Baltimore's colony in Newfoundland confusion == This section is confusing. There has been an expansion request on it since 2008. As it reads now, the father had title to a part of Newfoundland, the son got title to the entire island, but the father opposed this new title. Is this correct? It IS possible that it was because of family feuding, but it seems that the father might be happy that the family possessions had been expanded so much. Can anyone clarify this? BeadleB (talk) ==Requested move 31 December 2013== The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section. The result of the move request was: Page moved. No opposes in full listing period. One support !vote out of the four supports (including the nominator) don't give any rationale at all, and a second one of the four uses slightly dubious logic surrounding whether "Cecilius" is an English or Latin name, but all in all it seems quite uncontroversial.  — Amakuru (talk) Cecilius Calvert, 2nd Baron Baltimore → – His name was Cecil.

== Popularity == Wasn't he also popular in Croatia to some extent? Many Balkan musicians were popular basically all over. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.57.10.191 (talk) == Sinan explained not being of Romani descent == Sakic himself has publicly explained not being of Romani descent several times, being erroneously assumed as Romani throughout his life because of his slightly darker skin tone. Namely, in his last interview on Serbian Happy TV, 05/12/2017, which can be seen on Sinan's 2017 interview on YouTube, timestamp 34:40:, he remarked: "Really, I wish I spoke Romani - I am not, however, a Romani myself, I am a child from Muslim family... since the beginning of time - but I really wish I spoke Romani because of those songs and everything else in life." Note: Muslims in Serbia in this context are not the adherents of Islam, but the Slavic ethnic group of Muslim faith from former Yugoslavia, that predominantly embraced Bosniak nationality after the break-up of Yugoslavia, but ~40,000 of whom still declare as Muslims by nationality. 87.116.179.11 (talk)
