Cariye
Cariye was the name given to enslaved women concubines in the Islamic world of the Middle East. They were especially known from the Ottoman Empire, where this title existed until the mid-19th century.
In general, a carie was a woman enslaved during warfare. In Islamic law, the enslavement of a woman was the only case where concubinage was permitted.
Such a woman had to obey her male owner, as she would have to obey her husband. The children, the caryie had with her master were born legally free. Because she was the mother of his children, her master could no longer sell her and she would be freed after his death.
The system existed in the Ottoman Empire far into the 19th century and is most famous within the Ottoman Imperial Harem of the Ottoman court. It has often been translated to mean "lady-in-waiting".
The Ottoman system formally followed the original Islamic law, but varied from it in practice. After the Ottoman Empire had conquered most of the Middle East, and after the borders to Christian Europe had come to a standstill, there was in practice few opportunities to capture women through warfare.
Because of the general ban for enslavement of Muslims, the non-Muslim was instead provided to the Ottoman slave market from Christian Europe through the Crimean slave trade and the Barbary slave trade. Being from non-Muslim countries, with whom the Ottoman Empire could be regarded to be in passive warfare, this was regarded equivalent to enslaved prisoners of war, and thus was perceived to be in accordance with Islamic law.
When the Crimean slave trade was closed after the Russian conquest of the Crimea in 1783 (and the Barbary slave trade in the early 19th-century), the slave trade underwent yet another transformation. From this point on, a majority of the were Circassians from Caucasus, with a minor part coming from the white slave trade. While the Circassians were normally Muslim, the ban against the enslavement of Muslims was overlooked in their case, and their original Muslim status was an "open secret".
The was always regarded as sexually available for the master of the house, and if she bore a child by him, she could no longer be sold. It was common for a to be freed (manumitted). However, a manumission did not mean that a was free to simply leave the household. In a Muslim society based on gender segregation, were women lived in seclusion, it was not a possibility for a manumitted woman to simply leave the house and walk about in the street, as a free unmarried woman without family would have no way to support herself. Instead, the manumission of a woman normally meant that a marriage was arranged for her; often, a male who freed a woman married her himself, or arranged for her to be married to another man.
There was a difference between women bought to be domestic servants of Muslim women, and women bought by men; the slave women who were formally the property of a Muslim woman, although legally available for the master of the house, could also be sold by her female owner.
In the first half of the 19th century, slavery had come to be regarded as morally wrong in the Western world. The liberal Sultan Abdulmejid I, who was affected by these views, included anti-slavery laws among his Westernized reforms, and formally banned the slavery system. This was, however, a formal ban, and in reality, the continued informally until the end of the 19th century.

Syndicalism is a socio-political movement that originated in France during the late 19th century.
It aims to transfer the ownership and control of the means of production and distribution to workers' unions. This influential movement, strongly influenced by the ideas of Pierre-Joseph Proudhon and the French social philosopher Georges Sorel, gained significant traction between 1900 and 1914. This was a time when the working class was looking for fair treatment.
Syndicalism found support not only in France but also in countries like Italy, Spain, and the United States, where workers were also fighting for their rights. It brought together trade unions, which became the driving force behind the movement, and advocated for worker control and self-management. Syndicalism represented a radical departure from traditional labor movements. It emphasized direct action and the overthrow of existing capitalist systems that exploited workers. It sought to create a society where workers held the power and decisions were made collectively within their unions, envisioning a more equitable and just future for the working class.

Coup Belt
The Coup Belt is a term used to talk about a part of West Africa and the Sahel where there are a lot of coups happening. A coup is when a group of people take over a government by force. This term became popular recently because there were many coups in the early 2020s. Some examples include coups in Mali, Guinea, Chad, Sudan, Burkina Faso, Niger, and Gabon. After a coup in Niger in 2023, these countries formed a line across Africa from the east coast to the west coast.
Since 1990, most of the coups in sub-Saharan Africa happened in countries that used to be ruled by France. Some people think that French influence might be causing instability in Africa.
The military leaders in Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger stopped letting French troops operate in their countries. They also stopped using French as an official language.
There was supposed to be French troops in Niger after they left Mali and Burkina Faso. But because of a crisis in Niger and problems with France, this didn't happen.
A group called ECOWAS tried to change the bad image of this region, but they couldn't. They suspended Mali and Guinea after coups happened in those countries.
The coups in these countries are often similar. They usually happen because the military is unhappy with how the government is dealing with problems like protests or Islamic groups. The new leaders also don't have good relationships with Western countries. Instead, they look for support from Russia, Turkey, or other places.

Sultan of Egypt
The Sultan of Egypt was a title given to the leaders of Egypt after the Ayyubid dynasty of Saladin began ruling in 1174. This continued until Egypt was taken over by the Ottomans in 1517.
The extent of the Egyptian Sultan's power changed over time, but it usually included areas like Sham and Hejaz. Because of this, the Ayyubid and later Mamluk sultans were also seen as the rulers of Syria. From 1914, the title was used again by the leaders of the Muhammad Ali dynasty of Egypt and Sudan. Later, in 1922, it was changed to the title of King of Egypt and Sudan.
Before Saladin became powerful, Egypt was the main place for the Shia Fatimid Caliphate. This was the only time in Islamic history when the Shia branch of Islam ruled a caliphate. The Fatimids had wanted to replace the Sunni Abbasid Caliphate in Iraq for a long time. Like the Abbasid group, they also called themselves Caliphs. This showed they thought they were at the highest level in Islam.
But when Saladin became strong in 1169, Egypt changed back to being Sunni and following the Abbasid Caliphate. Saladin saw the Abbasid Caliph as his leader in theory. In 1174, Saladin became a Sultan instead of a Caliph. From this time until the Ottoman takeover, the highest power in the caliphate was with the Sultan of Egypt.
Ethnicity in Australia
The people of Australia have diverse ethnic origins. The territory of what today is Australia was first inhabited by numerous indigenous peoples. The first European settlers came during the period of British colonization, beginning in the 16th century. Following independence from United Kingdom in the 20th century, numerous migration waves took place, most of these migrants came from Europe and Asia, small of them also came from Africa.

Although the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) does not collect data on race or ethnicity, each census asks Australian residents to indicate up to two ancestries, and these ancestry responses are categorised into broad standardised ancestry groups. Immigration minister Andrew Giles has promised to include a question on ethnicity in the 2026 Australian census.
The proportion of ancestry responses categorised within Oceanian ancestry groups is 33.8% of the total population, although of which 29.9% are within the "Australian" ancestry group, which most of them are at least partial to be of Anglo-Celtic or other European ancestry. Regardless of the census, the population of European descent was estimated at 72% or 76%.

The Boltzmann brain thought experiment suggests that it's more likely for a random brain (or even an entire body or galaxy) to spontaneously form with false memories in a vast, fluctuating universe than for the entire universe to develop as cosmologists believe. This idea is named after physicist Ludwig Boltzmann. It is used to challenge our assumptions about thermodynamics and the universe's evolution.

The Chorleywood bread process was invented at the British Baking Industries Research Association at Chorleywood in 1961. Compared to traditional bread-making processes, it uses more yeast, added fats, chemicals, and high-speed mixing to allow the dough to be made with lower-protein wheat. The bread is made in a shorter time. In 2009, 80% of bread made in the United Kingdom was made this way.
It uses dough conditioners. These are usually oxidizing agents such ascorbic acid or potassium bromate.The high-speed mixing process takes less than 5 minutes. The mixer operates at hundreds of revolutions per minute.
It has been criticised as producing unhealthy ultra-processed food.

Ultra-processed food
Almost all food is processed in some way. The term ultra-processing refers to the processing of industrial ingredients derived from foods, for example by extruding, moulding, re-shaping, hydrogenation, and hydrolysis. Ultra-processed foods generally include additives like preservatives, sweeteners, sensory enhancers, colourants, flavours, and processing aids. Infant formula and medical food are also considered ultra-processed. Food additives are not always a marker of ultra-processed foods. Preservatives, for example antioxidant or nitrite, are permitted for category 3.
This classification system is not accepted by everyone.
Ultra-processed food is generally cheap, so poor people eat a lot of it.
There is evidence that eating a lot of it increases the risk of obesity, type 2 diabetes and cancer.

The Evil Queen (also known as the Wicked Queen, Queen Grimhilde, Queen Ingrid, the witch or the hag) is a fictional character who is the antagonist of the fairy tale "Snow White" (written by the Brothers Grimm) and its many variations.
The exact personality of the Evil Queen is different depending on which version of the story is being told but one thing always remains the same: she is obsessed with beauty.
In the story, she is the stepmother of Snow White. In some versions, she married Snow White's father (the King) so that she could become Queen and kill him. The Evil Queen is jealous of Snow White because she is told that the princess is more beautiful than her.
The Evil Queen owns a magic mirror, which one day informs her that her young stepdaughter Princess Snow White has surpassed her in beauty. The Queen orders her Huntsman to take the princess into the forest and murder her. However, the Huntsman takes pity on Snow White, and instead, brings the Queen the lungs and liver of a wild boar. The Queen has the cook prepare the lungs and liver and she eats what she believes are Snow White's organs.
While questioning her mirror again, the Queen discovers that Snow White is still alive. Intending to kill Snow White herself, she takes the disguise of an old hag. She sells Snow White laces for a corset that she laces too tight in an attempt to suffocate the girl. When that fails, the Queen returns as a comb seller and tricks Snow White into using a poisoned comb. When the comb, too, fails to kill Snow White, the Queen again visits Snow White disguised as a farmer's wife and gives Snow White a poisoned apple. She eats the poisoned apple and falls into a deep sleep.
Snow White is awakened by the Prince from another kingdom, and they invite the Queen to their wedding. There, she is forced to put on red-hot iron shoes and "dance" until she dies.
In some versions of the story, the Evil Queen's death varies depending on the story. In more modern times, the Evil Queen no longer dies due to dancing in red-hot iron shoes. Some versions say she died from anger after finding out Snow White survived the apple while others have Snow White forgive the Queen.
The Evil Queen appears in many variations of the story but her most famous appearance is in "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs", a Disney movie.
Here, her character remains largely the same except she is specified to also be a witch. In the Disney movie, the Evil Queen transforms into a hag using magic and travels to give Snow White a poisoned apple, which she eats and dies. The Evil Queen is then chased by the Seven Dwarfs and falls off a cliff.
In the 2024 remake, she will be portrayed by Gal Gadot.
