Li Ang (writer)
"The Butcher's Wife" criticizes traditional Chinese patriarchy. The story tells about a female character who is forced into marriage with a much older, cruel butcher by her dead father's brother. The butcher abuses her sexually and scares her in various ways, such as a visit to the slaughterhouse. In a confused state, the main character in the end, kills him with a butcher's knife.
This is a complete list of Li Ang's works published in Taiwan as well as the English translations of her work.
The bony-headed Rhacophorus, Bongon whipping frog, or file-eared tree frog ("Polypedates otilophus") is a frog. It lives in Borneo. People have seen them from sea level to 1000 meters above sea level.
The adult male frog is 64-80 mm long from nose to rear end and the adult female frog is 82-97 mm. The skin of the frog's back is brown or yellow or gray or yellow-brown in color. The belly is nearly white in color. Each frog has thin black stripes on the back of its head. There are stripes and dots on other parts of the body and thicker stripes on the back legs. The iris of the eye is yellow-gray in color and the pupils go side to side and open up and down.
The tadpoles are yellow-green on top and and silvery white on the belly. Some of them have yellow spots on their dorsal fins. The tadpoles become the same color as adults after their hind legs begin to grow but before their front legs grow.
This frog lives in forests. It can live in trees or smaller woody plants. The female frog lays eggs in foam nests on leaves 30 cm over rain pools. When the eggs hatch, the tadpoles fall into the rain pool or stream. This frog can live in places that human beings have changed, such as palm oil farms.
This frog eats insects and other animals without bones, such as tree crickets. Sometimes this frog will eat smaller frogs.
Scientists believe this frog is not in danger of dying out but there are fewer of them than there were because human beings change the places where it lives by cutting down the forest. But scientists have seen that this frog can live in places where humans have cut down only a few trees at a time.
Human beings used to catch this frog to sell as pets, but the frogs usually died.
This frog can have a smell that humans do not like.

Reduction (orthopedic surgery)
A reduction is when a doctor moves an injured bone back into its correct position.
When a bone breaks, it becomes dislocated or its angle changes, which could lead to deformity after healing without reduction. Since the procedure can be painful, reduction is usually performed under anesthetic. Afterwards, X-rays are used to make sure the reduction was done properly. Finally, a cast or traction is used to keep it in place while it heals.
Reductions can be either open or closed. If the body is cut into so doctors can see the bones they are doing surgery on, that is an open reduction. Otherwise, it is a closed reduction.

Market segmentation is the process of dividing consumers, into sub-groups of customers (known as "segments") based on shared qualities to get better sales in marketing.
In these markets, people who study this idea usually look for common things between customers such as shared needs, common interests, and similar ways of living. The overall goal is to provide a more useful service for every type of customer. Many different ways to segment a market have been found. They usually do it by finding differences in customers to provide the most useful products for potential customers and regular customers alike.
Market segmentation, from an business view, assumes different people will want different products. It splits customers into groups with different needs and wants. The idea is to reach competitive advantage and that they should make more products to satisfy more people, thus getting more sales and customers. They must also consider how to make a product and many other things when doing this segmentation.

Behavioural segmentation: Divides potential customers into groups according to their seen behaviours. Many marketers believe this is the best type of segmentation.
Generational segmentation: Segmentation by age-divide, or generations.

Criticism of hadith
Quranists also reject the hadith, who view them as un-Quranic; they believe that obedience to the Islamic prophet Muhammad means obedience to the Qur'an; some further claim that most hadiths are fabrications (pseudepigrapha) created in the 8th and 9th century AD, and which are falsely attributed to Muhammad. Like Quranists, modernist Muslims also believe that the problems in the Islamic world come partly from the traditional elements of the hadith and seek to reject those teachings.
John Esposito notes that "Modern Western scholarship has seriously questioned the historicity and authenticity of the "hadith"", maintaining that "the bulk of traditions attributed to the Prophet Muhammad were actually written much later." According to Esposito, Joseph Schacht "found no evidence of legal traditions before 722," from which Schacht concluded that "the Sunna of the Prophet is not the words and deeds of the Prophet, but apocryphal material" dating from later.

She also asked the Swedish parliament in 1864 to allow women to study at the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts on equal terms with men.

In her book "Visible Identities: Race, Gender and the Self", Alcoff tried to give a detailed understanding of social identity by integrating her previous work in epistemology, metaphysics, and ethnic, racial, and gender politics. She told that geographic location significantly influences social identity beyond other factors, although she doesn't see it as deterministic.
In her article "The Problem of Speaking for Others," Alcoff studied the difficulties of representation when someone speaks on behalf of others, using concepts from social epistemology like social location and identity. She proposes "four sets of interrogatory practices" to guide speaking for others across different social positions: firstly, individuals should question their own motives to ensure they aren't driven by a desire for control. Secondly, they should be aware of the importance of context and location, and they should know how shifting words to another context alters their meaning. Thirdly, accountability and openness to criticism are important. Lastly, individuals must consider the real effects of their words on the discourse and material conditions of those represented.
Alcoff has received with various awards, including an honorary doctorate from the University of Oslo in September 2011. She received the Frantz Fanon Prize for her book "Visible Identities: Race, Gender and the Self" from the Caribbean Philosophical Association in 2009. In 2005, she was recognized as a Distinguished Woman in Philosophy by the Society for Women in Philosophy. Additionally, she held the Meredith Professorship for Excellence in Teaching at Syracuse University from 1995 to 1998. Her contributions to philosophy were further acknowledged when she was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2023.

This frog lives in grasslands, forests, and places with shrubs. The female frog lays eggs on branches over pools of water. When the eggs hatch, the tadpoles fall into the water.
Scientists believe this frog is not in danger of dying out because it lives in such a large place. However, this frog can die when human beings start fires to kill reeds and from chemicals meant to kill pests.

Nano Begal
The next day, Jalal Begal's mother found her son dead in his room. Instead of going crazy with grief or asking for help to bury him, she dressed like her son in his polo clothes and got his horse ready for the match. With her face covered and keeping her identity hidden, she joined the team and defeated the King again.
The story of Nano Begal began during the 17th century, around the 1620s. There was a about a big competition between two famous polo players from Chitral: Jalal Begal, who was just an ordinary guy from the valleys, and the King of the country, the Mehtar of Chitral. The Mehtar, who was part of the Raess dynasty, kept losing to Jalal Begal in polo matches. He got really angry and said if he lost again, he'd punish his court members. So, the court decided to kill Jalal Begal while he slept.
The next day, Jalal Begal's mother found him dead, covered in blood in his room. But instead of going crazy or asking for help to bury him, she dressed up like him and got his horse, whose name was Bamburush (Khowar: "Thunder"), ready for the match. With her face covered, she joined the team on the polo ground.
When the Mehtar and his team saw Jalal Begal on the ground, they were shocked because they thought they'd gotten rid of him. The match started, and Jalal Begal's mother, pretending to be her son, played really well. The other team didn't know who she really was and thought it was the best performance they'd ever seen from Jalal Begal. So, Jalal Begal's team won again. After the match, she revealed who she was by showing her face. Leaving the ground on her horse, she recited a song, now called "Nano Begal-a" in Chitral.
After the celebration ended, Begal's mother removed her head covering and mask. She rode her horse to where the King was sitting among his players and supporters. While on horseback, she sang a song called "Nano Begaal" or "Mother's Begaal," expressing deep sadness and sorrow:
This song is widely sung in the valleys of Chitral and Nano Begal, the Mother of Begal is seen as a heroic woman and a role model for Chitrali women.

Darangen
Darangen is a long epic poem of the Maranao Muslim people from the Mindanao region of the Philippines. It tells many stories in 17 parts, with 72,000 lines. One important story is about a famous hero, "Bantugan". The word Darangen means "that which is narrated by song or chant" in the Maranao language.
In 2002, Darangen was named a National Cultural Treasure by the National Museum of the Philippines. The Lanao del Sur provincial government also called it a Provincial Treasure. UNESCO declared Darangen a Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity in 2008. It's the longest epic poem still alive in the Philippines.
Darangen is usually sung or chanted. Sometimes, singers perform parts of it during weddings and celebrations. They use instruments like "kulintang gongs", "Tambor drums", and "kudyapi" stringed instruments. Dancers also act out different parts of the story. Depending on the part being performed, it can last a few hours or even a week. The poem also teaches about Maranao customs, values, and practices of both the Islamic period and from before the Maranao converted to Islam in the 14th century.
The Darangen is a story passed down through generations, not written by a single person. It has 72,000 lines divided into 17 cycles, each telling a different story but connected together. The epic is written in an old version of the Maranao language.
Skilled singers called "onor" memorized the Darangen. It was often sung at night, during weddings, or to lullabies for children. A full performance of the epic takes about a week, but nowadays, shorter performances are more common, lasting a few hours. Singing is accompanied by traditional Maranao instruments like "kulintang gong" ensembles and "Tambor drums".
The Darangen mostly reflects the beliefs of the Maranao people before they became Muslim. Heroes in the story worship and interact with ancestor spirits and nature spirits. For example, "Batara-sa-Marudo", a nature spirit who can control floods and storms.
The main setting of the epic is the city of Bembaran, once a grand city near a river. It's said to have vanished into the sea. The story also talks about relationships between the Maranao people and other groups like the Manobo and the Sama-Bajau.
The Darangen was once only in form of chants and songs. An American missionary and teacher, Frank Charles Laubach, found its value in 1930. He was amazed when Maranao leaders sang it during a boat journey. Laubach decided to write down the epic. He met a nobleman named "Panggaga Mohammad" who helped him. Laubach published part of the Darangen in 1930, making it the first time Maranao songs were written in Latin letters.
Laubach's version was not complete. Later, scholars from Mindanao State University worked on it. They gathered different parts and versions from Maranao elders and handwritten books. It took them ten years. Finally, from 1986 to 1988, they published the whole epic in eight books, in both Maranao and English.
Dances related to the Darangen include:
