Britain's Royal Navy controlled most of the important routes for sea trade and enjoyed unchallenged sea power. Britain's powerful position in world trade meant that it essentially had a firm grip to the access of many regions, such as Asia, North America, Oceania and Africa. The British also helped the United States maintain the Monroe Doctrine which not only helped maintain peace but also supported Britain's economic strength in the Americas. British merchants, shippers and bankers held a significant advantage over their counterparts from other empires. This advantage, formed an 'informal empire' that boosted Britain's global influence.

Kabul synagogue
The Kabul synagogue is a abandoned Jewish synagogue in Kabul, Afghanistan. Local people know it as the "Jewish Mosque". It was built in the 1960s. At that time, there were thousands of Jews in the city. Because it was damaged in the Second Afghan Civil War, and many Jews left, it fell into disrepair in the last decades of the 20th century. Also, the Taliban persecuted Jews.
In the early years of the 21st century, the synagogue was home to Zablon Simintov and Yitzhak Levin, believed to be the last two Jews in Afghanistan, who served as the synagogue's caretakers. Levin died at the synagogue in 2005, and Simintov was evacuated from Afghanistan in 2021 after the Taliban takeover of the country.
In 1948, there were about 5,000 Jews in Afghanistan. In the early 1960s, the community built a synagogue around a small courtyard on Flower Street in downtown Kabul. The two-story building has two sanctuaries and was dedicated on March 29, 1966. The synagogue's door was made of corrugated iron and laden with Stars of David. There is also a Jewish cemetery on the outskirts of the city where 1,000 people are reportedly buried.
By the 1960s, most Jews had emigrated. There were better economic opportunities in the United States and Israel. At the time, Afghanistan was the only country in the Muslim world that allowed Jews to emigrate and keep their citizenship.
The country's last rabbi fled in 1988, and the last formal prayer services were held at the synagogue in 1990. In the mid-1990s, Zablon Simintov moved into the synagogue. At the time, the synague was the only functioning one in Kabul He moved there because his home was damaged during the Second Afghan Civil War. The Taliban had come to power in 1996, and the synagogue had been deserted and left in disrepair. The civil war left much of Kabul in ruins. All the Jews had left Afghanistan. After a brief stay in Turkmenistan, Simintov returned to Kabul in 1998 or 1999 and was the synagogue's live-in caretaker. He also operated a carpet business out of the synagogue.
Simintov and Levin argued frequently about who was the rightful owner of the synagogue, and they lived in different wings of the synagogue. Each would complain to the Taliban about the other, to the point that the Taliban imprisoned both men.
To disguise the synagogue from the outside, Simintov operated a kebab restaurant from the building called Balkh Bastan (Ancient Balkh) beginning in 2009. Levin lived downstairs until his death in 2005, when Simintov became the last Jew believed to be in Afghanistan and the synagogue's only live-in caretaker. Every Shabbat, Simintov would read the Torah from the synagogue's "bimah". Simintov left Afghanistan in 2021.

Hoist with his own petard
"Hoist with his own petard" is a saying from a speech in William Shakespeare's play "Hamlet" that has become proverbial. The phrase's meaning is that a bomb-maker is blown up ("hoist", the past tense of "hoise") off the ground by his own bomb ("petard"), and indicates an ironic reversal or poetic justice. The saying means that a person has been messed up by their own actions.
The letters contain a request from King Claudius to the King of England to have Prince Hamlet killed, but Hamlet manages to modify them during the journey so that they instead request the deaths of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. Hamlet is thus able to return to Denmark in secret to seek his revenge.
The word "hoist" here is the past participle of the now-archaic verb "hoise" (since Shakespeare's time, "hoist" has become the present tense of the verb, with "hoisted" the past participle), and carries the meaning "to lift and remove".
A "petard" is a "small bomb used to blow in doors and blow holes in walls" and comes from the French , which, through Middle French () and Old French (), comes from the Latin ("to break wind") or, much more commonly, the slang form "to fart". Although Shakespeare's audiences were probably not familiar with the origin of the word, the related French word was in common use in English by the 17th century meaning "gun shot of farting" making it appear likely that the double-meaning was intended by the Bard as a joke.
All references to "Hamlet", unless otherwise specified, are taken from the Folger Shakespeare Library's "Folger Digital Editions" texts edited by Barbara Mowat, Paul Werstine, Michael Poston, and Rebecca Niles. Under their referencing system, 3.4.225 means act 3, scene 4, line 225.

A music video for the song was released. It was directed by Jessy Terrero. In the video, 50 narrates the story about how he had a friend named Slim who he grew up with in Jamaica, Queens and was betrayed by him. The video rewinds to the event where two men are waiting for 50 outside a building in a car. The men see 50 leave a convenience store and shoot him in a drive-by shooting. There are then scenes of an investigation and 50 recovering from his gunshot wounds. 50 is wheeled into a boardroom with multiple men. A hooded kidnapped man is then brought into the room and is revealed to be the man who betrayed 50. The men kill the man and put him in the trunk of a car which is later found by the investigators. Another man is shot while sitting in a car and another is killed after meeting 50 in a restaurant. The events of the music video are based on the real life shooting of 50 Cent.
Actors Mekhi Phifer, Adam Rodriguez, Rory Cochrane, Gabriel Casseus, and Tommy Lister all appear in the music video. G-Unit members Lloyd Banks and Young Buck also appear.

Transformers are popular for large-scale language training and work by tokenizing text, which means they change words into a format (like a list of numbers) for easier analysis. Transformers process multiple parts of an input sequence simultaneously. This is in contrast to older and slower sequential models that process data one step at a time. Transformers are used in various fields including language, images, and audio, leading to models like GPT which powers chatbot ChatGPT.

FishBase is a global species database of fish. It is the largest and most accessed online database on adult fish on the web. As of August 2022, FishBase included descriptions of 35,300 species and subspecies, with 327,900 common names, 63,800 pictures, and references to 60,200 works in the scientific literature. The site has about 700,000 visits per month.
It provides comprehensive species data, including information on taxonomy, geographical distribution, biometrics and morphology, behavior and habitats, ecology and population dynamics as well as reproductive, metabolic and genetic data. FishBase only covers adult fish, but doesn't detail the early and juvenile stages of fish.
The origins of FishBase go back to the 1970s, when the fisheries scientist Daniel Pauly found himself struggling to test a hypothesis on how the growing ability of fish was affected by the size of their gills. Pauly believed that the only practical way fisheries managers could access the volume of data they needed was to assemble and consolidate all the data available in the published literature into some central and easily accessed repository. Such a database like FishBase would be very useful if the data has also been standardized and validated.
Pauly recruited Rainer Froese, and the beginnings of a software database along these lines was encoded in 1988. This was the prototype for FishBase. It was then extended to cover all finfish, and was launched on the Web in August 1996.
A ton of people visit FishBase to learn about adult fish. The site has about 700,000 visits per month.

Evolution of fish
The evolution of fish began about 530 million years ago during the Cambrian explosion. One of the earliest jawless fish include "Haikouichthys", a craniate. The conodonts were another Agnatha"." The earliest jawed vertebrates developed during the late Ordovician period.
During the Devonian period, a great increase in fish variety occurred, especially among the ostracoderms and placoderms, and also among the lobe-finned fish and early sharks, which meant that this was the age of fishes.
The Agnatha (meaning "no jaws") is a superclass of fish in the phylum Chordata, subphylum Vertebrata. Agnatha comes from the Greek. The first armoured agnathans were the ostracoderms, precursors to the bony fish and hence to the tetrapods.
The conodonts are an extinct group of agnathans that looked like eels. They appeared 520 ma and died 200 ma. One of them is "Promissum".

Bichir
Bichirs and the reedfish comprise a freshwater fish family, the Polypteridae, of ancient ray-finned fishes. They are the only family in the order Polypteriformes. All occur in freshwater habitats in tropical Africa and the Nile River system, mainly swampy, shallow floodplains and estuaries.
A closely related group, the Scanilepiformes, are known from the Triassic, and are ancestral to them. The oldest polypterids are around 100 million years old, from the early Late Cretaceous of South America and Africa. They are living fossils.
Polypterids are elongated, dragon-like freshwater fish with a series of dorsal finlets instead of a single dorsal fin. They have have a maximum body length ranging from 25 cm (9.8 in) to over 100 cm (39 in) depending on specific species and morphology.
The scales were different, apart from size, from those of modern bichirs: they feature a discontinuous ganoine layer, a rectilinear shape, and small articular processes.
"Serenoichthys" was a small polypterid. In comparison, the giant polypterid "Bawitius" could reach up to 300 cm (9.8 ft).
Polypterids are popular subjects of public and large hobby aquaria, but tend to stay on the ground. Though predatory, they are actually peaceful. They are sometimes called dragon bichir or dragon fin in pet shops for a more appealing name due to their dragon-like appearance. They are also called dinosaur fish due to their resemblance to dinosaurs.
