Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Saudi Arabia)
The following is the list of foreign ministers since its foundation:
Wyatt's rebellion
Wyatt's Rebellion in early 1554 was an unsuccessful uprising in England led by Sir Thomas Wyatt and three others.
It emerged due to concerns about Queen Mary I's plans to marry Philip II of Spain and return England to Roman Catholicism. The rebellion failed, resulting in various consequences for the rebels, ranging from death to forgiveness. Causes of the rebellion were both political and religious, with differing opinions on the primary motivations of the conspirators. Political concerns included worries about a foreign marriage and potential interference in English affairs. Religious factors involved opposition to Mary's Roman Catholicism and fears of a return to papal authority. Mary's marriage to Philip was a focal point of the rebellion, as it raised concerns about England becoming a mere province of the Habsburg Empire. The fear of Spanish influence, coupled with the memories of the Spanish Inquisition's cruelty, fuelled opposition among the landed gentry and parliamentary classes. France also opposed the alliance between England and Spain, leading to threats of war and anti-Spanish sentiments in London. Mary's strong commitment to Roman Catholicism and her efforts to restore papal authority further fuelled discontent among Protestants. The rebellion served as an outlet for lower-class frustrations, allowing yeomen, husbandmen, and urban workers to express social and economic grievances. The key insurgents were Sir Thomas Wyatt, Sir James Croft, Sir Peter Carew, and Henry Grey, Duke of Suffolk. Wyatt, despite initially supporting Mary, opposed her marriage to Philip and expressed concerns about foreign influence and the establishment of Roman Catholicism. Other conspirators had diverse motivations, including political considerations, religious beliefs, and fears for their careers. The rebellion's plan involved raising forces in different counties to converge on London, replacing Mary with her half-sister Elizabeth, who would then marry Edward Courtenay. The rebellion faced early challenges, with some participants, like Sir Peter Carew, fleeing to France. The plan also included a questionable element involving a girl named Elizabeth Croft pretending to be a spirit denouncing Mary and Philip. Rumours of the rebellion spread, and key conspirators, such as Carew and Courtenay, were arrested. The rebellion started prematurely, and its leaders faced challenges and betrayals. Sir Thomas Wyatt persevered initially, but the uprising ultimately failed as Mary gained support, and key rebels were arrested or surrendered. The rebellion's aftermath included the imprisonment, execution, or pardon of the participants. Wyatt and other leaders were captured, and the rebellion marked a significant event in the complex interplay between religion and politics in 16th-century England.

Death by misadventure
In the United Kingdom, death by misadventure is the recorded manner of death (verdict) for an accidental death caused by a risk taken voluntarily.
Misadventure in English law, as recorded by coroners and on death certificates and associated documents, is a death that is primarily attributed to an accident that occurred due to a risk that was taken voluntarily. In contrast, when the manner of death is given as an accident, the coroner has determined that the decedent had taken no unreasonable willful risk."Misadventure may be the right conclusion when a death arises from some deliberate human act which unexpectedly and unintentionally goes wrong."Legally defined "manner of death": a way by which an actual "cause of death" (trauma, exposure, etc.) was allowed to occur. For example, a death caused by an illicit drug overdose may be ruled a death by misadventure, as the user took the risk of drug usage voluntarily. Misadventure is a form of unnatural death, a category that also includes accidental death, suicide, and homicide.
In the case of "R v Wolverhampton Coroner", it was held that the coroner must establish death by misadventure on the balance of probabilities or commonly known as "more likely than not". This is opposed to beyond reasonable doubt, which is used elsewhere.

Very often, there are links on World Wide Web that are there to attract attention. The idea is to make the user click on the link and access the content behind it. Very often these links are then deceptive, sensationalized, dishonest or otherwise misleading. This is known as clickbait. Usually, there is a teaser. This teaser provides just enough information to make people want to click on the link, but not enough to satisfy their curiosity. Clickbait headlines often add an element of dishonesty, using enticements that do not accurately reflect the content being delivered.
The "-bait" suffix makes an analogy with fishing, where a hook is disguised by an enticement (bait), presenting the impression to the fish that it is a desirable thing to swallow.
Before the Internet, there was a marketing practice known as bait-and-switch. It used similar dishonest methods to hook customers. In extreme degree, like bait-and-switch, clickbait is a form of fraud. ("Click fraud", however, is a separate form of online misrepresentation which uses a more extreme disconnect between what is being presented in the frontside of the link versus what is on the click-through side of the link, also encompassing malicious code.) The term "clickbait" does not cover for all cases where the user arrives at a destination that is not anticipated from the link that is clicked.
Usually, the content behind a clickbait are simillar to simple lists (so called listicles). This is very low-class journalism. The idea behind a clickbait is to make more users access certain websites.

Bowls is a sport. It is also known as lawn bowls or lawn bowling. Players try to roll their ball (called a bowl) closest to a smaller ball (known as a jack). The bowls are heavier on one side so that they turn when being rolled. The game is played either in teams or one against one.
The game was first played in the 13th century. The game is played on grass, although other surfaces are sometimes used. Matches are held either until one player gets to a score, or when an amount of "ends" are played.
The game of bowls started in 3200 BC in Ancient Egypt. It was a type of boules. Writings of that time include an image showing a historic game of bowls. It was played in England from the 13th century onwards. Both Edward III and Richard II banned the game. They wanted England to practice archery instead. The ban was lifted in 1845. The game was played unofficially before this. The invention of the lawn mower in 1830 helped the game spread. The game became popular in Scotland in the 19th century. The Scots set standard rules and played on flat surfaces. In the 1960s, the sport came to New Zealand.
The world's oldest surviving bowling green is the Southampton Old Bowling Green, which was first used in 1299. Lawn bowls is a core sport in the Commonwealth Games. It has been played in every edition of the Games. In the past the game had a strict dress code, especially for women. Their clothes had to be of a set length and colour. Now, dress code is more relaxed.
There are bowls events held every year. The biggest is the . The World Bowls Championship was first held in 1966. A has been held yearly from 1979.
The game has very little equipment apart from the playing surface. It has a small ball called a "jack". The jack is the target to throw at. The jack can be white or yellow. The players roll larger balls (known as "bowls" or "woods") at the jack. The bowls were historically black or brown. Recently, these can be in any colour. At the end of the area where the game is being played is a small channel called the "ditch". There is also a rectangular carpet called a "mat". The person playing has to stand on the mat.
The game can be played on different surfaces, but mostly on grass (or in New Zealand). Other ways to play include on an indoor artificial grass or a moveable carpet. The length of the area a game is played on is 44 yards, and no wider than 5.2 meters.
The player has to stand on the mat. Teams of up to four players compete. The players are named by what position they are in order. The first player is the "lead". The next two are "second" and "third". The last player is called a "skip". The skip usually starts at the other end of the area until their turn to play. The bowls are heavier on one side. The heavier side is known as the "bias". When rolled forward, the bowl will turn left or right towards the bias.
Players of opposing teams take turns to throw their bowls. Each team gets an amount of bowls, from four for singles matches to eight for teams of four. The game can be played as a race to a score (usually 21 or 11), or over a certain amount of ends. An end is over when both teams have played all of their shots. When an end is finished, the bowl that is closest to the jack scores a point. If their team has the next closest, they score another point. A team scores as many points as bowls they have closer than their opponents closest bowl.
At the start of an end, the team's first player (known as a lead) throws the jack. Then, plays their first bowl towards the jack. The two teams take turns to throw. Bowls that go into the ditch are removed. However, bowls that hit the jack are marked with chalk. They are allowed to stay in the ditch.
Lawn bowls is played on rectangle area of grass. When played in a square area, it is called crown green bowls. In crown green, the playing surface is not always flat. It also does not have a set size for the playing area. Indoor spaces have artificial playing areas (sometimes known as "carpet bowls").
A version played on a rollable carpet is known as short mat bowls. Short mat is played on a much smaller carpet. The jack is placed rather than rolled. It also has a piece of wood in the middle to prevent powerful shots.
A version played on a slope is called "tra bowls". The surface is higher on the edges than the middle. There is no jack, but a drawn target on the floor. This game is played in Belgium.

Alfred Domett
Loki Laufeyson, also known by adoption as Loki Odinson and by his title as the God of Mischief, is a character portrayed by Tom Hiddleston in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) media franchise. Based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name and the Norse mythological deity of the same name, Loki was introduced in the movie "Thor" (2011) and has since become a recurring staple in the MCU. As of 2023, the character has appeared in seven films and headlined the live-action series "Loki" (2021), while alternate timeline versions, or "variants", of Loki from within the multiverse have also appeared in "Loki", the animated series "What If...?" (2021) and the animated short movie "The Good, the Bart, and the Loki" (2021).
He was the biological son of Laufey, King of the Frost Giants, who was abandoned and left to die shortly after his birth. Found by Odin, Loki was taken to Asgard and raised by him and Frigga as an Asgardian prince, along with Thor, becoming the Asgardian God of Mischief. When Thor was to be crowned King, Loki had sabotaged the coronation by letting the Frost Giants attack Asgard, thus leading Thor to seek vengeance on Jotunheim, which resulted in Thor's banishment to Earth and Loki finding out the truth about his heritage. Frigga gave Loki the throne when Odin had fallen into the Odinsleep; however, when the Warriors Three and Sif attempted to return Thor home, Loki was forced to try to stop them. Regardless, Thor returned from his exile on Earth and ended Loki's reign, thwarting his attempt to declare war on the Nine Realms with Jotunheim's destruction. With Odin disapproving of his actions, Loki allowed himself to fall through the deep abyss of space, entering a wormhole created by the sudden termination of the Bifrost Bridge.
Transported by the wormhole to Sanctuary, Loki encountered The Other who offered to serve under Thanos' command and gave him the Scepter. Loki was given command over the Chitauri army in order to conquer Earth, under the provision that Loki acquires the Tesseract for Thanos. Once he came to Earth, Loki managed to take possession of the Tesseract and used its power to open a wormhole above New York City and caused the Chitauri Invasion, but all of Loki's schemes were ultimately defeated by the Avengers. Thor returned him to Asgard as his prisoner, where Odin condemned him to spend the rest of his life in the Asgardian Dungeons as punishment for his crimes.
However, when Frigga was killed during the Sacking of Asgard, Loki was freed by Thor in order to defeat the Dark Elves led by Malekith who desired to use the power of the Aether to transform the universe into eternal darkness. During the fight against the Dark Elves in Svartalfheim, Loki faked his death, and, unbeknownst to everyone in the Kingdom, returned to Asgard and successfully removed Odin from the throne, taking his place as King where he remained for several years. During his reign, Loki continued to rule Asgard by sending Sif on missions to Earth to investigate the attacks of Lorelei and Vin-Tak.
During his final moments on Asgard, Loki took the Tesseract from Odin's Vault and in the wake of the Destruction of Asgard, chose to stay by his brother's side and support his ascension onto the throne. Consequences of his deal with Thanos would soon come back to haunt Loki, however, as the Mad Titan and his Black Order intercepted the Asgardians as they were making their way towards Earth. In the chaos that followed, Loki attempted to kill Thanos but ultimately failed. When Loki taunted Thanos by telling him that he would never be a god, the Mad Titan snapped his neck, finally killing the God of Mischief.

C-41 process
C-41 is the photographic film process used to develop practically all modern still-picture color negative film. It is also used for some black and white films, such as XP2. Slide film can also be cross-processed in C-41 to produce a negative.
C-41 film has a safety (acetate or polyester) film base, tinted orange on most films, with an emulsion made of silver halides and dye couplers. These are in multiple layers that record each primary color separately. When the film is developed, the silver is developed first, like black and white film. Oxidized developer then reacts with a dye coupler to produce a visible dye. The film is then bleached and fixed, which removes the silver and unexposed silver halides, making the image permanent. The film cannot be exposed to any light, not even the red darkroom safelight, until the process is completed. The film can then be printed with the RA-4 process, or scanned into a computer.
