Saurostomus
Saurostomus is an extinct genus of pelagic pachycormiform from the early Toarcian of Europe. Its only species is S. esocinus. Fossil remains have been found in England, Germany, and France.
The generic name means "lizard mouth." Cladistic analysis retains "Saurostomus" as sister to a clade comprising "Ohmdenia" and the suspension-feeding pachycormids.
This fish was large. The model on the right shows that it resembled a small shark, but with a smaller dorsal fin. The robust body had two pectoral fins, particularly elongated.
"Saurostomus" is is part of the Pachycormiformes, a group of bony fish that first appeared in the Lower Jurassic. In particular, it is a fish with some skull features bringing it closer to the giant filter feeder "Leedsichthys".
Ohmdenia
Ohmdenia is an extinct genus of pachycormiform from the Lower Jurassic of Germany. Its only species is O. multidentata. Some studies say "Ohmdenia" is a synonym of "Saurostomus".
The fish is only known from an incomplete fossil, but it is good enough proof to know what it looked like. "Ohmdenia" was a large animal, averaging two and a half meters long. The body is long and thick. It had a wide mouth and a long and short skull.
"Ohmdenia" is a member of the family Pachycormidae in the order Pachycormiformes. For a long time, "Ohmdenia" was considered a close relative of "Birgeria", a famous Triassic predator. Further studies show that this is not the case, so they placed it in the extinct order Pachycormiformes.
Hamas of Iraq
Hamas of Iraq is a Sunni militant group from Iraq, being created from a split in the 1920 Revolution Brigades in 2007. The group has released videos of them attacking US troops.

Leptomantis angulirostris
The Kina Balu flying frog or masked flying frog ("Leptomantis angulirostris") is a frog. It lives in the Philippines, in Luzon, Bohol, and Mindanao. People have seen it between 700 and 1800 meters above sea level.
The adult male frog is 31 to 33 mm long from nose to rear end and the adult female frog is 45-51 mm long. There is some webbed skin on the front feet. There are bumps on the skin of the belly and front but not on the back. The frog is gray-green to light brown in color. Some frogs have white spots on the head or middle. There is bright yellow color with black spots on the sides of the body and where the legs meet the body. The chest and belly are white.
This frog only lives in forests that have never been cut down. The forests are on mountains and hills. This frog lays eggs in clear, rocky streams. The tadpoles can grow to be 36 mm long.
Scientists believe this frog is in only some danger of dying out because it lives in such a large place. One of the places it lives is a protected park. This frog's danger comes from humans cutting down the forests where it lives.
Nisshin Maru
The is the primary vessel of the Japanese whaling fleet and is the world's only whaler factory ship. It was the research base ship for the Institute of Cetacean Research for 2002 to 2007. It has a tonnage of and is the largest member and flagship of the five-ship whaling fleet, headed by leader Shigetoshi Nishiwaki. The ship is based in Japan in Shimonoseki harbor and was owned by Tokyo-based Kyodo Senpaku, which is a subsidiary of the Institute of Cetacean Research.It stopped being used in 2020.
There have been several Japanese factory whaling ships named "Nisshin Maru". After the U.S. Navy's Pacific Fleet was attacked at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, all Japanese factory ships soon began to serve in the war effort till sunk or till the end of World War II in 1945.
General Douglas MacArthur, as military governor of Japan in 1945, encouraged the now defeated Japan to continue whaling in order to provide a cheap source of meat to its starving people, and to supply millions of dollars in oil for the United States and Europe. The Japanese whaling industry quickly recovered as MacArthur authorized the commission of two converted T2 tankers as whaling factory ships ("Hashidate Maru" and "Nisshin Maru No. 1"), to once again hunt whales in the Antarctic and elsewhere.
A major fire in the ship's processing factory broke out on February 15, 2007 while in Antarctic waters. The resulting damage caused the ship to be temporarily disabled, all while continuing to carry 340,000 gallons of oil. This incident took place within the New Zealand Search and Rescue Region. One crew member was killed in the fire.
Citing environmental concerns, specifically the disabled ship's proximity to Cape Adare, Antarctica and the world's largest Adelie penguin rookery, New Zealand Conservation Minister Chris Carter joined international citizens' groups in urgently requesting that the ship be towed away. Japan's Institute of Cetacean Research (ICR), which used to administer the ship with the Kyodo Senpaku Kaisha, declined offers of a tow from the Greenpeace ship , which had been nearby and monitoring the situation since February 17. On February 28, the Institute of Cetacean Research released a statement on its decision to cut short its Antarctic whale hunt for 2006/07 due to unrecoverable equipment, and "Nisshin Maru" departed for Japan for repairs, cutting short its whaling season for the first time in 20 years.
"Nisshin Maru" and Greenpeace's collided in December 1999 and in January 2006. In 2006 both ships claimed to have been rammed by the other, and the ICR posted video footage to support its version of the incident. Greenpeace responded that the waves emanating from "Arctic Sunrise" in the video support Greenpeace's contention that its vessel had its engines in reverse; Greenpeace also claimed the location of cloud formations in the background of the ICR video indicate "Nisshin Maru" was turning into the Greenpeace ship at the time of collision.
Sea Shepherd Conservation Society claimed its president Paul Watson was shot by someone aboard "Nisshin Maru" during a confrontation with the off Antarctica in 2008. He was wearing a bulletproof vest and was uninjured. An ICR spokesman acknowledged that seven flashbangs were thrown, but stated that "no gunshots of any kind" were fired.
In February 2013, "Nisshin Maru" was involved in a multiple-ship collision, colliding with the Sea Shepherd vessels "Steve Irwin", , and , as well as the whaler's refueling ship, "Sun Laurel". "Bob Barker" was damaged and issued a mayday. "Sun Laurel"s lifeboats were also damaged due to the collision.
Additional regulations from the United Nations International Maritime Organization (IMO) took effect on August 1, 2011 prohibiting ships using heavy oil fuel below 60 degrees south to prevent pollution. The IMO "Guidelines For Ships Operating In Ice-Covered Waters" also establishes requirements for a double-hull strengthened against ice-related damage. "Nisshin Maru" did not meet the IMO standards.
"Nisshin Maru" is featured in the video game Ship Simulator Extremes, along with "Kyo Maru" # 1 and the Greenpeace vessel "Esperanza" with its outboard inflatable boats and RIBs.
Matthew Barney filmed "Drawing Restraint 9" on "Nisshin Maru" in 2005, as it made its annual journey to Antarctica.
"Nisshin Maru" is the name of a whaler factory vessel that is chased by Greenpeace and a German/Chilean press officer in Luis Sepulveda's book "Mundo del fin del mundo".

Mewing
Mewing is a type of oral posture training made to improve the jawline and the look of your face. It was named after John and Mike Mew, British orthodontists who made the technique as a part of a practice they call "orthotropics". Mewing is done by placing your tongue at the roof of the mouth (which is called the palate) and putting a bit of pressure there. Also, you should swallow the fluids in your mouth while mewing. This is done with the goal of changing the structure of the jaw. However, no credible scientific research has ever proven how well orthotropics work. Since 2019, mewing has had a lot of media coverage due to it becoming viral on social media, especially with what is known as looksmaxxing. Looksmaxxing is when someone tries to improve how they look. This is usually done by improving their habits.
While the technique has been known to have some positive effects, many orthodontists that that mewing does not have enough evidence as a good alternative treatment to orthognathic surgery. Mike Mew has been kicked out from the British Orthodontic Society, and is currently facing a legal hearing for allegedly harming child patients who he treated.
Mewing has been used as an internet meme. On social media platforms such as TikTok, People will point to their jaw to show that they are mewing in their videos. In reference of how Donald Trump in a 2023 mug shot looked, journalist Bindu Bansinath wrote "perhaps he's mewing for better definition."

Looksmaxxing
Looksmaxxing is when someone does many forms of facial exercising and body care routines, in an effort to improve their appearance. While Looksmaxxing can refer to simple hygiene, more extreme methods have become known with looksmaxxing, such as "mewing". Looksmaxxing is sometimes associated with incel subculture, and it started on "manosphere" message boards such as Lookism, Sluthate and PUAHate. Looksmaxxing became a TikTok trend, and became popular with teenagers in the 2020s, with some of its origins tracing back to mid-2014.
Looksmaxxing is when people perform body care routines to try to improve their appearance. Some of these practices are common and standard, such as clearing up facial acne, going to the gym, getting a new haircut, or moisturizing their skin. These practices are the most popular, and are known as "softmaxxing". Other practices have been associated with looksmaxxing, one popular practice is the act of "mewing", which involves moving your tongue to the roof of your mouth with the goal of getting a "square jawline". These methods are the most popular ones shared around TikTok, where men that look good are typically the ones giving the advice. These methods were used to be popular from magazines such as "GQ", "Esquire", and "Men's Health" sharing around skincare and hairstyle advice. Some people that practice "looksmaxxing" consider themselves to be making "facial gains".
Some people who practice looksmaxxing have also practiced more extreme methods. This has been called "hardmaxxing", and those who practice hardmaxxing call themselves "hardmaxxers". Practices known to be hardmaxxing include getting implants or limb-lengthening surgeries, starving themselves on purpose ("starvemaxxing"), using moisturizers to attempt to appear more white ("whitemaxxing"), and trying to avoid sexual climax to try to boost testosterone ("edging"). Another method, known as "bonesmashing" is when someone hits their own face against objects to try to get a "chiselled look". While this practice is known as an inside joke and only a few people have actually tryed it, it has been warned as misinformation.
Some people that practice looksmaxxing also look for others to rate their appearance, with some engaging in anonymous message boards associated with incel sub-culture. This rating is sometimes known to be someone's "sexual market value". The people that do the rating and find this value usually check for different facial features. One of the most known facial features checked for is "hunter eyes", which refers to someone having a positive canthal tilt, which looks like the eyes of a predatorial animal. Other features checked for are hollow cheeks and "pursed lips". In order to have these features, some people perform acts such as mewing, rubbing around the eys, or even getting surgery.
People who get a low rating are sometimes harassed for their appearance, with some forms of harassment including suicide encouragement. Other terms have been created by people in an effort to "dominate others". Some of these terms are "mogging", which means asserting dominance over another person based on their appearance, and being "Y-pilled", which means that someone views themselves as more masculine than the other person and it is based on the word "redpilled".
Looksmaxxing started on "manosphere" message boards such as Lookism.net and Incels.me in the 2010s. In 2015, a forum site named Looksmaxxer.com was registered to the Internet Archive, which created the term "looksmaxxing". This inspired the name to be used on anonymous imageboard websites such as 4chan. Looksmaxxing became a TikTok trend in the 2020s, and it was mostly watched by teenagers.

Amir Kabir
Amir Kabir (Persian:
Amir Kabir rose to prominence during a tumultuous period in Iran. Born in 1807, he initially served as a courtier before catching the eye of Naser al-Din Shah. With the Shah's support, he climbed the ranks swiftly, eventually becoming the chief minister in 1848.
One of Amir Kabir's most notable legacies lies in his internal reforms. Drawing inspiration from European models, he aimed to modernize Iran's administrative, economic, and educational systems. Amir Kabir implemented administrative restructuring, creating new ministries and rationalizing governmental functions.
He took significant steps to bolster education, establishing the Dar ul-Funun, Iran's first modern university, in 1851. This institution aimed to provide both scientific and technical education, marking a departure from traditional religious-centered learning.
Amir Kabir demonstrated a benevolent attitude towards Iran's non-Muslim minorities, driven by a strategic vision to strengthen the state. Learning from European interventions in Ottoman affairs, he aimed to eliminate possible grievances that might invite foreign interference. He exempted priests from taxation, supported Christian schools, and fostered a positive relationship with the Zoroastrian community.
Amir Kabir's foreign policy was innovative, emphasizing a "negative equilibrium" by avoiding excessive concessions to either Britain or Russia. He sought to end Russian influence in the Caspian Sea and limit British control in the Persian Gulf. To counteract external pressures, he engaged with powers like Austria and the United States and established a counter-espionage organization.
On 11 November 1851, Nasir al-Din Shah, the 20-year-old ruler of the Qajar dynasty of Iran, deposed his guardian and brother-in-law Mirza Taqi Khan Farahani, better known as Amir Kabir, from the position of prime minister. However, he allowed Amir Kabir to continue as commander-in-chief of the army. "Since the office of Grand Chancellor involves too much work," the shah wrote to Amir Kabir, "and the burden of such a task was heavy for you, we have relieved you of this duty. You must continue as Commander-in-Chief with full confidence ." Just two months later, on 10 January 1852, Amir Kabir was secretly executed in the bathhouse of the "royal garden of Fin" near Kashan, where he had spent the last days of his exile.
Amir Kabir's life remains a pivotal chapter in Iranian history, embodying the challenges and complexities of navigating tradition and modernity during a transformative era.

Naser al-Din Shah Qajar
As a trailblazer , Naser al-Din Shah marked a significant era as the first modern Persian monarch to formally venture into Europe. Capturing his experiences, he documented his travels in memoirs, providing a unique insight into his encounters with the Western world. His openness to Western influence showcased a modernist approach, setting the stage for reforms in Qajar Iran.
Notably, Naser al-Din Shah ushered in an era of modernization by permitting the establishment of newspapers within the country. Embracing contemporary technology, he harnessed the power of telegraphs and photography, revealing a forward-thinking mindset. Additionally, he initiated plans for concessions related to railways and irrigation works, showcasing a commitment to progress and infrastructure development.
Despite these strides towards modernity, Naser al-Din Shah faced challenges in implementing successful reforms. While his endeavors in education modernization were noteworthy, his tax reforms encountered misuse by those in positions of power. This resulted in a perception of corruption within the government, contributing to a growing sense of discontent among the common people. The inability of the government to protect the populace from abuse by the upper class fueled antigovernmental sentiments.
Tragically, Naser al-Din Shah's life came to an abrupt end when he was assassinated while visiting a shrine. His assassination marked a gloomy conclusion to the reign of a monarch who, despite his efforts at modernization, grappled with the complexities of balancing progress with societal challenges.
Despite being the recognized government of Iran, Naser al-Din Shah Qajar faced considerable challenges in establishing effective authority during the early years of his rule. While the state under his leadership held official recognition, its influence was significantly undermined by the autonomy tested by local tribal leaders.
One of the key hindrances to Naser al-Din's sovereignty lay in the substantial autonomy granted to religious and tribal chiefs, who exercised significant control over their respective communities. These leaders maintained their own militias, leading to a decentralized power structure where local groups often operated independently, disregarding laws issued by the monarchy due to the lack of enforcement mechanisms.
Naser al-Din's initial struggle for control became evident in the limited effectiveness of his rule. At the onset of his reign, the monarch's army consisted of a mere 3,000 men, a stark contrast to the more substantial forces commanded by various tribal leaders. Faced with this military imbalance, Naser al-Din often resorted to hiring local militias when the state required a more formidable military presence.
Furthermore, the people's allegiance leaned towards the religious authorities, following the fatwas issued by the ulama rather than adhering to laws announced by the state. This shift in loyalty demonstrated the existing challenges in establishing centralized governance and the sway that religious figures held over the populace.
Even as Naser al-Din embarked on reforms aimed at modernizing the state, the government continued to face scrutiny over its ability to enforce these changes successfully. The limited power it wielded over subjects, coupled with the defiance of local militias, posed persistent obstacles to the effective implementation of reforms.
In essence, the early years of Naser al-Din Shah Qajar's rule were marked by a struggle to consolidate authority and navigate the intricate balance between centralized governance and the autonomy of local leaders. These challenges laid the groundwork for the complexities that characterized his lengthy reign.
Naser al-Din Shah Qajar's reign, which began in 1848 after his ascension to the Sun Throne with the support of Amir Kabir, was marked by a complex interplay of reformist tendencies, authoritarian governance, and interactions with external powers.
Faced with the inability to reclaim territory lost to Russia in the Caucasus during the early 19th century, Naser al-Din sought compensation by attempting to seize Herat in 1856. This move, however, triggered conflict with Great Britain, which perceived it as a threat to British India. The ensuing war forced Persia to return Herat and recognize the kingdom of Afghanistan.
Naser al-Din Shah Qajar made history as the first modern Persian monarch to visit Europe. His visits in 1873, 1878, and 1889 exposed him to technological marvels, leaving him reportedly amazed. During his 1873 visit to the United Kingdom, Queen Victoria bestowed upon him the prestigious title of Knight of the Order of the Garter, a significant honor for a Persian monarch. His travel diary from the 1873 trip was widely published, reflecting the international interest in his experiences and observations, available in Persian, German, French, and Dutch.
