Prognosis of schizophrenia
Prognosis of schizophrenia means how well anyone responds to treatment or recovers or not from the diagnosed malady schizophrenia.
All the things that could happen at any time are:
Schizophrenia has great human and economic costs. People with a diagnosis have on average a decreased life expectancy of 12 to 15 years, primarily because of its association with being overweight, not exercising, and smoking cigarettes. An increased rate of suicide (a person killing themself) plays a lesser role.
Approximately three-fourths of people with schizophrenia have an ongoing disability with symptoms that keep coming back. Some people do recover completely and others function well in society.
In people with a first episode of serious mental symptoms, 42 percent have a good long-term outcome, 35 percent have an intermediate outcome and 27 percent have a poor outcome. Outcomes for schizophrenia appear better in the developing world than in the developed world, although that conclusion has been questioned.
Schizophrenia can be a large problem for people who have it. Someone who has schizophrenia may hurt themselves. This is known as "self-harm". Not all people with schizophrenia want to hurt themselves. People with the condition need psychiatric assessment because of the possibility of self-harm. If a young person begins to show signs of having the condition, they should see a psychiatrist as soon as possible. People with schizophrenia are more likely to commit suicide than the average person. They also have more physical health problems. In 2015, about 16,900 deaths were linked to schizophrenia. A study was done of over 4million people who were diagnosed with schizophrenia. Using data from 1957 to 2021, the most common reasons for death were suicide, injury-poisoning, and undetermined non-natural cause. These were followed by pneumonia. In one study, use of anti-psychotic medication was found to be the most common cause for diagnosis of pneumonia. Scientific evidence from before and including 2021 seem to show that all anti-psychotics increase the risk of pneumonia. The statistical average of people in these study groups had a life expectancy that is about 11.2 to 25 years lower than that of the general population.
Peter R. Breggin, M.D. former teaching fellow at Harvard Medical School and full-time consultant at the National Institute of Mental Health founded the International Center for the Study of Psychiatry and Psychology, and was on the editorial boards of several scientific journals has written in his 2007 publication "Brain Disabling Treatments in Psychiatry" Effexor, Risperdal, Zyprexa, Abilify, lithium and Depakote produce dangerous abnormal behavior and dangerous brain changes. Dr Breggins first anti-drug book was criticised by a Professor of Psychiatry during 1994. Dr. Breggin wrote with David Cohen "Your Drug May Be Your Problem: How and Why to Stop Taking Psychotropic Medications" which was published during 1999. Breggin and Cohen state that psychiatrists do not know enough information to safely recommend drugs routinely or to take for more than a briefer time which is the continued use recommended for treatment.

Motte-and-bailey fallacy
The motte-and-bailey fallacy is a way of arguing where someone uses two different ideas that seem similar but are not the same. One idea (the "motte") is easy to defend and not very controversial. The other (the "bailey") is more controversial and harder to defend. When someone argues for the controversial idea but gets challenged, they switch to defending the less controversial one. This makes it look like their original point is still valid, even though they are now arguing something different.
This fallacy (incorrect argument in logic and rhetoric) is named after a type of medieval castle called a motte-and-bailey. Nicholas Shackel, a philosopher, first talked about this fallacy in 2005. He compared it to the castle's defense strategy. In a motte-and-bailey castle, there's a stone tower on a hill (the motte) and a land area around it (the bailey). If attackers come, people in the castle retreat to the motte, which is easier to defend. Similarly, in the fallacy, the arguer retreats to the easier-to-defend idea when their main idea is attacked.

New Jersey Plan
The New Jersey Plan, also known as the Small State Plan or the Paterson Plan, emerged during the Constitutional Convention of 1787 as a counterproposal to the Virginia Plan. William Paterson of New Jersey, along with other delegates from less populous states, voiced concerns about the Virginia Plan's bicameral legislature and proportional representation, fearing it would empower larger states at their expense. The New Jersey Plan advocated for a unicameral legislature, maintaining equal representation for each state, echoing the one-vote-per-state approach of the Articles of Confederation.
The plan proposed amending the Articles of Confederation, granting Congress additional powers such as the ability to raise funds through tariffs, regulate interstate and international commerce, and collect taxes based on free inhabitants and three-fifths of slaves. It also outlined the election of a federal executive and the establishment of a federal judiciary, emphasising the supremacy of the Articles of Confederation and treaties. Despite its rejection on June 19, 1787, the New Jersey Plan influenced the compromise that followed. The Connecticut Compromise, blending elements of both the Virginia and New Jersey Plans, resulted in the current structure of Congress, featuring a Senate with equal state representation and a House of Representatives based on population.

Yahya Ayyash
Ayyash was known for his expertise in bomb-making and Improvised explosive devices (IEDs), earning him the nickname ""The Engineer"." He played an important role in shaping the tactics of Hamas during a period marked by intense conflict between Israelis and Palestinians.
Yahya Ayyash was born on 6 March, 1966, in Rafat. He was the eldest among the three brothers. During his childhood, he showed a strong commitment to religious studies, earning recognition from the Islamic Trust for his Qur'an memorization skills.
Displaying an ability for electrical and mechanical work, Ayyash engaged in repairing radios and television sets as a young boy. Following his high school graduation in 1985, he pursued higher education at Birzeit University in 1987, where he focused on electrical engineering. Ayyash successfully earned a Bachelor of science degree in electrical engineering in 1991.
This educational background laid the foundation for his later involvement in activities related to his engineering expertise, particularly in the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, where he gained huge fame for his role as a key figure in the Hamas movement.
Denied permission by Israeli authorities to pursue a master's degree in Jordan, Ayyash faced a turning point in his life. It was during this period that he decided to join Hamas, marking a significant shift in his route towards involvement in the activities of the Palestinian militant organization.
After the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin, the Palestinian Authority began to co-operate more closely with Shin Bet in hunting Ayyash. Shin Bet managed to contact Ayyash's childhood friend Kamil Haddad. Kamil demanded money and israeli identity cards for himself and his wife. After the demand was accepted he agreed to co operate. Shin Bet agents gave Hamad a Mobile phone, and told him it was bugged so they could listen in on Ayyash's conversations. They did not tell Hamad that, in addition to Surveillance devices, it also contained 15 grams of RDX explosive. The phone was handed to Ayyash through Kamil's nephew Osama who was not knowing about his uncle's betrayal.
At around 8 AM on 5 January 1996, Ayyash's father called him. Ayyash picked it up and talked with his father. When the Israeli authorities confirmed it was Ayyash on call they detonated the explosive and thus Ayyash was assassinated.
Following Ayyash's assassination, four suicide bombings took place as a revenge which led to the killing of seventy-eight Israelis between February and March, 1996.
Israeli security services states that,"the attacks were most probably a direct reaction to the assassination of 'Ayyash' [with] no far-reaching political goal."
Israeli press says that soon after Betraying Yahya, Haddad family disappeared from Palestine; it also states that he received US$1 million, a fake passport and a visa to the United States.

Meritamen was buried at QV68 tomb in the Valley of the Queens. The tomb of Meritamen was described by Lepsius. An interesting scene in the tomb shows Meritamen offering cloth boxes to Osiris and Hathor. The inscriptions identify the Queen as King's Daughter, Great Royal Wife Lady of Both Lands (Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt)
Her coffin is now in Berlin museum (15274).
Macedonians in Bulgaria
Macedonians in Bulgaria also known as Pirin Macedonians () are a minority group of in the country of Bulgaria, who live in the Blagoevgrad province. According to Bulgaria's last census in 2021, there are 1,143 Macedonians.
After the creation of the Principality of Bulgaria in 1878, many Macedonians immigrated to the new state, who created the Macedonian emigration community in Bulgaria. According to the League of Nations, the total number of Macedonian emigrants in Bulgaria for the period from 1878 to the mid-1920s was more than 300,000. It is the largest Macedonian emigration in the world, with enormous intellectual potential and a great cultural heritage. As a result the Macedonian elite grew extremely powerful and were in every corner of Bulgaria.
In the village of Kresna, in Pirin Macedonia on October 17, 1878, the Macedonian Uprising of the Macedonian people against the Ottoman government took place. The main leaders of the uprising were the Macedonian revolutionary Dimitar Pop-Georgiev Berovski and Duke Stojan Karastoilov. In the Constitution of the Macedonian Insurgent Committee from 1878 it is written:
The uprising was planned to be a general Macedonian uprising and for this purpose, companies were formed in Tetovo, Veles, Skopje, Lerin, Kosturia and other regions in Macedonia. The uprising also aimed, after the liberation of Macedonia, to implement Article 23 of the Berlin Peace Treaty, which provided for autonomy for Macedonia, but also for additional reforms within the Turkish Empire.
After the end of the Balkan wars, Macedonians in Bulgaria in Pirin, together with the Strumica region, became part of the Kingdom of Bulgaria. Within the framework of the Paris Peace Conference after the end of the First World War, with the Nej Peace Treaty of 1919, Bulgaria cedes Strumica to the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, whereby the Pirin part of Macedonia receives the borders in which it is defined until today. In the period after the Balkans and between the two world wars, based on the population exchange agreements between Bulgaria and Greece, a significant number of Macedonians from Aegean Macedonia immigrated to these parts.
During the Second World War, Pirin Macedonia, as part of the Kingdom of Bulgaria, will first raise its voice for liberation and unification with the rest of Macedonia. On the territory of Pirin Macedonia already in 1941, partisan detachments were formed under the leadership of the Macedonian communist from this region Nikola Parapunov, and it was in Pirin Macedonia that the first armed struggle against the Bulgarian fascist army and in general the first armed battle against the fascist army of The Balkans.
On July 1, 1941, a small partisan detachment under the leadership of the Macedonian Ivan Kozarev attacked the Bulgarian fascist police near Razlog, which will officially begin the armed struggle of the Macedonian and other Balkan nations against the fascist occupiers. During the Second World War, Pirin Macedonia and the entire Macedonian people will lose one of the greatest Macedonian national actors and poets from this region, Nikola Vapcarov, who will be shot by the Bulgarian fascists in Sofia in 1942.
In Pirin Macedonia in August 1943, the first activities of the Macedonian People's Federal Organization will be observed, which will act more actively during the period of national affirmation and freedom of the Macedonians in Pirin Macedonia, from 1944 to 1948 during the rule of Georgi Dimitrov.
Georgi Dimitrov, the leader of the Patriotic Front and the first president of the Peoples Republic of Bulgaria, who on his mother's side had Macedonian origins from the vicinity of Razlog, is the only Bulgarian statesman who not only recognized the existence of the Macedonian people as a separate Slavic nation, the Macedonian language as a separate Slavic language, Macedonian history and the Republic of Macedonia (then the People's Republic of Macedonia) as a national state of the Macedonians, but also advocated for the complete unification of Macedonia within the Balkan Federation.
Georgi Dimitrov in his 1934 letter to MNS from Detroit says:
Georgi Dimitrov will later confirm his views by formulating the following three points:
However, with the resolution of the Infoburo (the cooling of relations between the SFRY and Bulgaria), the death of Georgi Dimitrov and the coming to power of Todor Zhivkov, all this is prohibited, canceled and stopped due to the nationalistic xenophobic views of Zhivkov. Around the time the Bulgarian authority began stripping away the rights of Macedonians in Bulgaria, the Macedonian newspaper "Macedonian Flag" ("Makedonsko Zname") called into action that all Macedonians should act up and start revolting to safe their identity in the Bulgarian state, they wrote in a article titled ""We Must Escape from the Magic Circle"" and said:
Nebettawy
Nebettawy (also spelled Nebettauy) which means "Lady of the Two Lands" was an ancient Egyptian princess and queen, the fifth daughter of Ramses II in the procession of the daughters as depicted at Abu Simbel.
Nebettawy may have been the daughter of Ramesses's wife, Nefertari. She would also later marry her father and became his great royal wife (possibly after death of Meritamen).
Nebettawy appears as the fifth princess in procession of royal daughters as depicted in the temple of Abu Simbel. She appears after Bintanath, Bakmut, Nefertari, and Meritamen. The princesses are shown shaking a sistrum.
Nebettawy is not shown on the smaller temple of Abu Simbel. Nefertari is shown with Meritamen and Henuttawy on the facade of this temple. Nebettawy was later buried in QV60, the tomb was robbed during the antiquity period. It was later changed into a Christian chapel.
Neferu I
Neferu I ("the beauty") was the first queen of Ancient Egyptian Eleventh dynasty. She was a wife of the Pharaoh Mentuhotep I.
She was married to Mentuhotep I and had with him two sons Intef I and Intef II and she was a grandmother of Intef III and Queen Iah, his wife. She was also a great-grandmother of Neferu II.
Her importance is confirmed by the number of the times she is mentioned in her son's texts . She is identified as the mother of Intef II as she is mentioned in multiple texts of her son as "born of Neferu"
It is also possible that she is the same as the Queen Neferukayet, who is thought to be wife of Intef II. Her titles would be then:
"King's wife, his beloved", "King's daughter" and "Royal Ornament".
SAK Sportanlage Nonntal
The SAK Sportanlage Nonntal, also known as SAK-Platz, was a football stadium in the Nonntal district of Salzburg. It was the home of Salzburg's oldest football club, Salzburger AK 1914.
SAK played in Hellbrunn for the first few years after its founding in 1914. In 1921 it found a new home on the Berchtold Grounds in Nonntal. There they played until the facility was demolished in 2007. The first clubhouse was built around 1931 . A wooden stand was built in 1935, but it burned down in October 1949. In 1968/69 a concrete standing stand and the changing rooms underneath were built. On January 4, 2006, the roof of the grandstand, that had been brought from Lehen, collapsed due to heavy snow loads.
Because of the poor condition of parts of the facility demolition of the facility and the construction of the Sportzentrum Mitte have been considered since the 1980s. Demolition finally began in August 2007. Today the Unipark Nonntal, a building of the University of Salzburg, is located on the site.

In 1948, Graham preached in meetings in Modesto, California. Together with Cliff Barrows, Grady Wilson and George Beverly Shea, Billy Graham promised to "avoid any situation that would have even the appearance of compromise or suspicion"
In 2017, it began to be also called the Mike Pence rule. The US vice president is a practicing Evangelical Christian. He also supported the idea. Some people do not like the rule. It limits the careers of women who might need to meet with a male boss or co-worker.
WAGR P class (diesel)
The WAGR P class were a total of 17 diesel-electric locomotives operated by the Western Australian Government Railways (trading as Westrail) from 1989 to 2000.
The P class were built by A. Goninan and Coy of Bassendean from 1989 to 1991. They entered service primarily on grain and general goods traffic, replacing 21 locomotives operating at the time. They became the primary motive power on the line of the old Midland Railway.
All were included in the sale of Westrail to the Australian Railroad Group (ARG) in late 2000. All units remain in traffic mainly on agricultural goods trains around the Wheatbelt.

European Terrestrial Reference System 1989
The European Terrestrial Reference System 1989 (ETRS89) is a geodetic group used for the Eurasian Plate. Since it does not move, it is not changed by Continental Drift. The Making of ETRS is connected to the geodetic gorup called The ITRS Geodetic datum. The group shows continental drift in a way that the movement of continental drift is none.
ETRS89 was made by the Florence meeting of EUREF in 1990.
The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) is an agency inside the United States Department of Defense. Their work is collecting, looking at, and giving out geospatial intelligence for national security. It was called the National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA) from 1996 to 2003.
NGA headquarters, also known as NGA Campus East or NCE, is at Fort Belvoir North Area in Springfield, Virginia. The agency also runs major places in the St. Louis, Missouri area (referred to as NGA Campus West or NCW), they also have offices worldwide. The area of the NGA headquarters is . It is the third-largest government building in the Washington metropolitan area after The Pentagon and the Ronald Reagan Building.
NGA also helps during natural and man-made disasters, aids in security planning for major events such as the Olympic Games, and gets data on climate change.
The director of the agency is Vice Admiral Frank D. Whitworth III.
Vertical datum
In geodesy, vertical datum or altimetric datum, is a coordinate surface used for vertical positions, such as the elevations of Earth-bound things, and altitudes of satellite orbits and in aviation.

Pseudophilautus decoris
The elegant shrub frog ("Pseudophilautus decoris") is a frog. It lives in two places in Sri Lanka, one 60 m above sea level and one 1060 meters above sea level.
The female frog lays 6-155 eggs at a time. She mixes them into the dirt. Scientists think this means more air will reach the eggs this way. Inside the eggs, the growing frogs look like tadpoles, but they hatch as small frogs. The young frogs are the same colors as the adult frogs.
There are fewer of this frog than there were. It is in danger of being dead. Scientists say this is because human beings change the places where the frog lives to get wood to build things with or make places for animals to eat grass and because of climate change and new chemicals near where the frog lives. Other animals also eat this frog. Some of them have been in the frog's habitat for many years. Others were brought there by human beings. Scientists are not sure whether the fungal disease chytridiomycosis is in Sri Lanka. Chytridiomycosis has killed frogs in other parts of the world.
The scientific name "decoris" comes from a Greek word meaning "beautiful" or "elegant."
GlTF
glTF is a file format for 3D models, 3D scenes, and 3D assets. It is a standard file format that can be read by many programs. A glTF file can have file extensions of .gltf (JSON/ASCII) or .glb (binary). Both .gltf and .glb files may use external resources, such as for images or mesh data. Or, both may have data embedded inside of them (as base64-encoded text in .gltf files or as raw bytes in .glb files). glTF is an open standard developed and maintained by the Khronos Group. glTF supports 3D model geometry, appearance, scene graph hierarchy, and animation. glTF is intended to be a simple, portable, and compatible format for 3D assets, reducing file size and runtime processing by apps. As such, its creators have called it the "JPEG of 3D."
The glTF format stores data primarily in JSON. The binary .glb format is still JSON data, but saved as a binary blob instead of plain text. The JSON may also contain blobs of binary data known as buffers, and use external files, for storing mesh data, images, etc.
The fundamental building blocks of a glTF scene are nodes. Nodes are organized into a hierarchy. Nodes may have other nodes defined as children. Nodes may have transforms relative to their parent. Nodes may use resources, such as meshes, skins, and cameras. Meshes may refer to materials, which refer to textures, which refer to images. Scenes are defined using an array of root nodes.
Most of the top-level glTF properties use a flat hierarchy for storage. Nodes are saved in an array called "nodes", and are pointed to by index, including by other nodes. A glTF scene points to its root nodes by index. Furthermore, nodes point to meshes by index, which point to materials by index, which point to textures by index, which point to images by index.
All glTF data structures can be extended using an "extensions" JSON property. This allows adding arbitrary JSON data to any part of the glTF. The specifics of the data are defined using an extension specification which builds on the base glTF spec. See the Extensions section for more information.
Members of the COLLADA working group created glTF in 2012. At SIGGRAPH 2012, Khronos showed a demo of glTF, which was then called WebGL Transmissions Format (WebGL TF). On October 19, 2015, Khronos released the glTF 1.0 specification.
At SIGGRAPH 2016, Oculus announced they were adopting glTF because of the similarities to their ovrscene format. In October 2016, Microsoft joined the Khronos 3D Formats working group to work together on glTF.
glTF 2.0 was released in June 2017. glTF 2.0 was a huge change compared to version 1.0. Most tools adopted the 2.0 version. Physically based rendering (PBR) was added, replacing WebGL shaders used in glTF 1.0, thanks to a proposal by Fraunhofer at SIGGRAPH 2016. Changes were made to accessors and morph targets for facial animation. Top-level glTF object properties were replaced with arrays for faster index-based access. There were many other schema tweaks and breaking changes compared to glTF 1.0. There is ongoing work towards import and export in Unity and an integrated multi-engine viewer / validator.
On March 3, 2017, Microsoft announced that they will be using glTF 2.0 as the 3D asset format in their apps, including Paint 3D, 3D Viewer, Remix 3D, Babylon.js, and Microsoft Office. Sketchfab also announced support for glTF 2.0. As of 2019, the glTF and GLB formats are used by companies including DGG, UX3D, Sketchfab, Facebook, Microsoft, Oculus, Google, Adobe, Box, TurboSquid, Unreal Engine and Qt Quick 3D. The glTF format is an important standard for augmented reality because it works with Autodesk Maya, Autodesk 3ds Max, and Poly.
In February 2020, the Smithsonian Institution started their Open Access Initiative, releasing approximately 2.8 million 2D images and 3D models into the public domain, using glTF for the 3D models.
In July 2022, glTF 2.0 was released as the ISO/IEC 12113:2022 International Standard. Khronos said they will keep ISO/IEC 12113 updated with new glTF functionality to ensure that the ISO/IEC and Khronos specifications stay in sync.
The glTF format can be extended with arbitrary JSON to add new data and functionality. Extensions can be placed on any part of a glTF, including nodes, animations, materials, textures, and on the entire file. Khronos keeps a list of some glTF extensions on GitHub, including all official extensions from Khronos and a few third-party extensions.
On August 10, 2015, 3D Tiles was built on glTF. 3D Tiles adds spatial data, metadata, and geospatial data. The geospatial data can be styled and streamed. 3D Tiles is now a proposed OGC Community Standard.
VRM, a model format for VR, is built on the .glb format. It is a 3D human avatar file format.
Khronos works on the glTF Sample Viewer to view assets, as part of the glTF Software ecosystem. Khronos also works on the Validator, which validates glTF assets.
glTF files can be used in many open-source WebGL engines including PlayCanvas, Three.js, Babylon.js, Cesium, PEX, xeogl, and A-Frame. The Godot game engine supports and recommends glTF files, with both import and export support.
Open-source glTF converters allow converting from COLLADA, FBX, and OBJ. Assimp can import and export glTF.
glTF files can be exported from many 3D editors, such as Blender, Vectary, Autodesk 3ds Max (natively or using Verge3D exporter), Autodesk Maya (using babylon.js exporter), Autodesk Inventor, Modo, Houdini, Paint 3D, Godot, and Substance Painter.
Open-source glTF utility libraries are available for programming languages including JavaScript, Node.js, C++, C#, Haskell, Java, Go, Rust, Haxe, Ada, and TypeScript.
3D Commerce, a standards group for 3D content in e-commerce, uses glTF for realistic 3D assets. In June 2021, the 3D Commerce viewer certification program was launched, allowing 3D viewers to prove they can accurately and reliably display 3D products using the glTF file format. 3D Commerce's asset guidelines, released in 2020, include best practices for using glTF files in 3D Commerce.

During a time called The First Intermediate Period, which some people call a "dark period," Ancient Egypt went through around 125 years without a strong ruler. This happened after the end of the Old Kingdom, around 2181-2055 BC. The dynasties of the first intermediate period are: the Seventh Dynasty, the Eighth, Ninth, Tenth, and the beginning of the Eleventh Dynasty.
During the First Intermediate Period, which started after the Old Kingdom, there aren't many big buildings or monuments left to show what happened. This is especially true at the beginning of this time. This period was a time when two groups fought for power in Egypt. One group was in a city called Heracleopolis in Lower Egypt, near Fayoum, and the other group was in Thebes, which is in Upper Egypt. Some people think that during this time, temples were robbed, artwork was damaged, and statues of kings were broken or destroyed because of the political mess. The two groups fought against each other, and the group in Thebes won and took over the north. This led to the reunification of Egypt under one ruler named Mentuhotep II during the second part of the Eleventh Dynasty. This event marked the beginning of the Middle Kingdom of Egypt.
In the Sixth Dynasty (2345-2181 BC), the power of the pharaoh decreased as nomarchs (regional governors) emerged. These officials were no longer under the control of the royal family of the 6th dynasty, and their positions became stronger, leading to the formation of local dynasties that had independence from the central control of the pharaoh.
some sources from later times describe the end of the old kingdom as a time of confusion and mess. The reasons for the end of the Old Kingdom are not clear, but some ideas are suggested:
