Monterey, Louisiana
Monterey is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) in Concordia Parish, Louisiana, United States.
A "Society for a Jewish Museum" was formed in 1976. A couple of years later, the Berlin museum added a Jewish Department. In 1988, the city had a competition for the building design of the museum. Daniel Libeskind won for his zigzag design structure. The building was completed in 1999, and the museum opened in September 2001. Michael Blumenthal was the first director of the museum until 2014.
The museum has two main buildings. One is the Kollegienhaus and is in baraque style. The other is a modern building by Libeskind. The modern building contains a unique zig-zag shape and is a form of deconstructivism. The architect wanted the building to address the Holocaust in Berlin's Jewish history.
There is much symbolism in the Libeskind structure. Empty voids fill the building. They represent "That which can never be exhibited when it comes to Jewish Berlin history: Humanity reduced to ashes." Three Axes in the structure have particular significance. Each represents paths of Jewish life in Germany: continuity, emigration and the Holocaust. The second axis of the museum connects with the Garden of Exile. The third axis connects with the Holocaust Tower.
The new permanent exhibition has five parts. It is called "Jewish Life in Germany: Past and Present". Each part is about a different period in Jewish history in Germany. The sections are Jewish life in Ashkenaz, the emancipation of the Jews, Englightenment, Natinalsocialism, and the present. The largest sections are for the time of National Socialism and after 1945. There are several rooms just for Judaism as a religion and religious art and music. There is further a tour with narration about culture and religion.
The past exhibition from 2001 to 2017 was "Two Millennia of German Jewish History". It showed history from the view of Jews as a minority. The exhibition included figures like Glikl bas Judah Leib and Moses Mendelssohn. The museum has had several special exhibitions. The most recent ones have been: "Welcome to Jerusalem" (2017-2019); "Cherchez la femme" (2017); "Golem" (2016-2017); "Snip it! Stances on Ritual Circumcision" (2014-2015); "A Time for Everything. Rituals Against Forgetting" (2013-2014).
The museum and Friends and Patrons of the Jewish Museum Berlin annually give out an award called Prize for Understanding and Tolerance. Past recipients include:
YAK-Service Flight 9633
YAK-Service Flight 9633 was an air accident that occurred at 16:02 (local time) on September 7, 2011. A Yakovlev Yak-42D passenger plane operated by the Russian airline Yak Service crashed in the Yaroslavl region (Russia). The plane overrun the runway at Tunoshna airport before taking off, hitting an antenna mast, caught fire and crashed on the Volga River bank. 44 people died, including all members of the Lokomotiv Yaroslavl ice hockey team.
The tragedy is commonly known as the Lokomotiv Yaroslavl plane crash.
On takeoff, one of the pilots accidentally applied braking to the wheels on takeoff, preventing the aircraft from leaving the ground as it overran the runway at Tunoshna. The aircraft finally left the ground on the grass, flew for a few hundred feet, struck a cell/lighting tower at the end of the runway, and entered a aerodynamic stall as the pilots aggressively attempted to climb away from foilage and trees located on the other side of the Volga River. The left wing struck the ground and caused the aircraft to drag along the ground for a few hundred feet before hitting the riverbank, breaking up, and exploding on impact.
Investigation determined that several factors caused the accident. This includes poor training, incorrect calculation of takeoff speed by the flight crew, and bad application of wheel braking by one of the pilots, who had incorrectly placed feet on the pedals. It was later revealed that the pilot had used forged documents to obtain permission to fly the plane, and that both crew members did not have the needed training to fly the Yak-42.

One of the users who joined this project, Mathias Damour (registered under the name Astirmays), differed in that the texts should be corrected a priori instead of being created and edited by the children themselves, not believing that they would see a closing agreement in the aforementioned discussion. That is why on November 17, 2006, autonomously and independently of the Wikimedia Foundation, the Vikidia wiki was launched.
As of December 2022, Vikidia has articles in French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Russian, Armenian, Greek, Catalan, Basque, and Sicilian. For example, the section in French contains 37.1 thousand articles, in English - 4.2 thousand articles, in Russian - a few hundred.

There is disagreement about human rights in China.

Other countries and their authorities (such as the United States Department of State, and Global Affairs Canada), and some international non-governmental organizations including Human Rights in China and Amnesty International, and citizens, lawyers, and dissidents inside the country, say that the authorities in mainland China organize such abuses. They say freedom of speech, movement, and religion of its citizens are not respected.
The Chinese authorities say that they define human rights differently. They include economic and social as well as political rights, all in relation to "national culture" and the level of development of the country. Their definition is not the same as in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The Chinese constitution has the Four Cardinal Principles which they say are more important:
In 2001, homosexuality was removed from the official list of mental illnesses in China. China recognizes neither same-sex marriage nor civil unions.
According to the criminal law of the PRC, only females can be victims of rape, and a man who has been raped cannot accuse the rapists (who can be men or women) of rape. However, the criminal law of the PRC's constitution in mainland China had been amended in August 2015. Thus, males can be victims of indecency, but the articles on the criminal law which are related to rape still remain unchanged, so male rape victims can only accuse the rapists of indecency.
In 2023 China got the lowest ranking in the world for safety from state actions and the right to assemble by the New Zealand Human Rights Measurement Initiative. It did much better on economic indicators, such as the right to food, health and housing.

Tepuihyla shushupe is a frog. Scientists have seen it in exactly one place: high up in the rivers Ere and Campuya. This is in Peru but near Colombia. They saw it 145 meters above sea level.
The adult male frog is about 85.4 mm long from nose to rear end and the adult female frog is about 85.7 mm long. The iris of the eye is whitish in color with red around the outside. The scientists looked at living frogs. They saw they were light green in color on the back and yellow-green on the belly. This frog has bumps on its skin. There is dark brown color on the back of each bump. Parts of the legs are whitish in color and parts are yellow-green. This frog has extra skin on the sides of all four legs.
This frog lives on high places where the ground is flat There are many dead leaves on the ground, many tree roots, and small wet places nearby. When scientists caught the first frog to examine, it was sitting in a hole in a tree.
The scientists named this frog "shushupe" because that is like the name of a snake in the language spoken by the humans who live nearby. This snake's scientific name is "Lachesis muta". Stories say that this snake can sing. "Lachesis muta" lives in the same places as "Tepuihyla shushupe". Scientists think people heard the frog sing and thought it was the snake singing.

Jabsco pump
A Jabsco pump, neoprene vane pump or self-priming neoprene vane pump, is a type of pump used for liquid handling.
They are used when water or other liquids must be pumped. In this type of pump, the fluid is sucked continuously, with a capacity depending on the size of the pump and the speed of rotation of the neoprene impeller.
It has a cylindrical compartment with a false deflector that turns it into an oval. Inside the cylinder rotates an impeller with radial neoprene blades, whose turning movement ensures the formation of variable volume chambers with the compartment wall. Since the impeller is in a non-central position, the formation of chambers (delimited by the impeller blades) of variable volume occurs, between which the fluid passes, which the blades suck from the inlet hole and push towards the hole. exit.
The first self-priming neoprene vane pumps date back to a 1953 patent issued to Jabsco. The US patent USA no. 422,191 for a "self-priming neoprene pump." In 1982 another patent was given to Jabsco UK (1982-12-23, Priority to GB08205279A) extending the number of blades of the neoprene impeller to 16.
The unique shape of the neoprene impeller rotating inside the oval cavity makes this pump completely self-priming. It can also automatically pump the water needed to cool a boat's engine. This works even if the pump is mounted above the water level, as a vacuum is created in the unit that sucks water from any level and from environments as varied as they can be: the sea, a lake or a stream.
The neoprene blade unit can be used with any potable water storage tank as it applies a pressure to the water distribution circuit equal to the strong depression with which it sucks water from the tank and no pressure tank or air compressor system are needed. The system is easy to install. If instant hot water is needed, simply connect the vane pump outlet to a water heater.

Lucius Junius Brutus
Lucius Junius Brutus was the founder of the Roman Republic, and one of the first consuls in 509 BC. He was the nephew of the King of Rome, Lucius Tarquinius Superbus. Brutus had been summoned by the noblewoman Lucretia after she had been raped by the King's son. She believed that the rape defiled her, and she committed suicide by stabbing herself with a knife. It is said that Brutus held the knife, shouting for the overthrow of the Monarchy.
Brutus led a revolt, which resulted in the overthrow of the Monarchy. Brutus then made an oath, that never again will there be a King of Rome. He was elected as the first Consul, along with Lucretia's husband, Lucius Tarquinius Collatinus. Soon the Royal Family tried to regain the throne, with two of the conspirators being Brutus' two sons. The conspirators were all executed, including his two sons. Collatinus was also removed, with a number of reasons suggested by scholars.
Tarquinius tried to retake the throne again, and led an army to war. In the Battle of Silvia Arsia, as it was called, both Tarquinius and Brutus stabbed each other, causing their deaths.

Season (television)
A season in television is the group of episodes that that are broadcast in one year. The term is commonly used in North American television. In British television, the term series is used.
In the United States, Canada and Mexico, a series is a set of television program episodes that are broadcast with the same title. A series last for one or many years. Each year of the series is called a season. Since the late 1960s, a season has commonly included between 20 and 26 episodes. Before then, a season would often have at least 30 episodes. Some series had as many as 39 episodes in a season.
Until the 1980s, most new programs for the United States were first broadcast in the "fall season". This ran from September through March. Is usually included from 24 to 26 episodes. These episodes were rebroadcast during the spring (or summer) season, from April through August. Because of cable television and the Nielsen sweeps, the "fall" season now normally lasts to May. A "full season" on a now usually runs from September through May for at least 22 episodes.
A full season is sometimes split into two parts. A break is taken around the end of the calendar year. When this is done, the last half of the episodes are often referred to with the letter B. For example, "The last nine episodes (of "The Sopranos") will be part of what is being called either "Season 6, Part 2" or "Season 6B". Since the 1990s, these shorter seasons also have been referred to as ".5" or half seasons. In them, the run of shows between September and December is labeled "Season X", and the second run between January and May labeled "Season X.5". Examples of this include the 2004 version of "Battlestar Galactica", ABC's "FlashForward" and ABC Family's "Make It or Break It".
Newer broadcast television series are often ordered (funded) for just the first 10 to 13 episodes. This is done to see if there is audience interest. If a series is popular, the network places a "back nine order" and the season is completed to the regular 20 to 26 episodes. A series that is already popular will normally have a full-season order at the start of the season. A midseason replacement is a series of usually 10 to 13 episodes. They are used to take the place of an original series that was not "picked up" for a full season because it was not well liked by the audience. A "series finale" is the last episode of the series before the program is no longer produced.
A standard television season in the United States runs from late September to May. During the summer months of June through mid-September, network broadcast reruns of their popular programs, new series that are not expected to have high ratings and other specials. Reality and game shows have also been used in this part of the schedule.
In India, the programs are usually called "serials". A series is usually at least 200 episodes, of 20 to 25 minutes each. On special episodes, referred to as "Maha-Episodes", the episodes last up to about 45 to 50 minutes. The program is broadcast until the (television rating point) is a little less than decent. The rating points depend on many things. Series which fail to attract TRP for a long time are usually ended.
In the United Kingdom and other countries, these sets of episodes are called a "series". In Australia, the broadcasting may be different from North American usage. The terms "series" and "season" are both used and are the same.
Australian television does not follow "seasons" in the way that American television does. For example, there is no "fall season" or "fall schedule". For many years, popular night-time dramas in Australia would run for much of the year. They would only go into recess during the summer period. This is from December to February in Australia. During this time, ratings are not taken. Popular dramas would usually run from February through November each year. Many drama series, such as "McLeod's Daughters", have between 22 and 32 episodes in each season. soap operas would usually begin a new season in late January. Their season finale would be in late November. The show would be off air for two months. Depending on the schedule this time off is sometimes longer. In recent years, a new season begins in early February. The season finale would broadcast in early December. Australian situation comedy series' seasons are about 13 episodes long. They begin any time between February and November.
