Islamic views on slavery
Before Islam started, there was slavery. Muhammad and his successors used slaves, and did not change slavery much. They also used slaves as concubines.
The work that slaves did, and the trading of slaves was important in Islamic society. In the 19th century, under the influence of colonialism, slavery was gradually abolished. Despite this, there are some conditions resembling slavery which continue to exist in some predominantly Muslim countries.
With the abolition of slavery, all Muslim countries have signed documents abolishing it. Some jihadist organizations continue to practice it, though.

Flag of the Northern and Eastern Provinces
The flag of Northern Province is the flag of the Northern Provincial Council, which is one of the nine provincial councils of Sri Lanka. It was first used on 22 May 2007.
The flag of Eastern Province is used for the Eastern Province of Sri Lanka since 22 May 2007.
Provincial Councils were created in Sri Lanka because of an agreement between India and Sri Lanka. The Northern Province and the Eastern Province, which has mostly Tamil-speaking people, were joined together to form a Provincial Council called the North Eastern Provincial Council and it had a flag. In 2007, a Sri Lankan court said that the North and Eastern Province should be separate, so the Northern Provincial Council and the Eastern Provincial Council became two different Provincial Councils.
In 2007, two flags were created for the Northern Provincial Council and the Eastern Provincial Council. They were first used at a ceremony at Chief Secretariat in May 2007 in Trincomalee.

Chandralekha is a 1948 Indian adventure movie. It was made by S. S. Vasan of Gemini Studios. The movie stars T. R. Rajakumari, M. K. Radha, and Ranjan. It tells the story of two brothers, Veerasimhan and Sasankan. They argue about ruling their dad's kingdom and marrying a village dancer named Chandralekha.
Development started in the 1940s. Before this one, Vasan had two very famous movies. He said his next movie would be "Chandralekha". Veppathur Kittoo, a storyboard artist, made a story from a chapter in George W. M. Reynolds' book "Robert Macaire: or, The French Bandit in England". T. G. Raghavachari was the original director but left midway because of disagreements with Vasan. Vasan then directed a movie himself for the first time.
Originally in Tamil and later Hindi, "Chandralekha" took five years to make (1943-1948). There were many changes in the script, or movie plan. It was India's most expensive, or costly movie at the time. Vasan used all his money and sold his jewelry to complete it. Kamal Ghosh and K. Ramnoth were the cinematographers. The music, influenced by Indian and Western classical music, was by S. Rajeswara Rao and M. D. Parthasarathy with lyrics by Papanasam Sivan and Kothamangalam Subbu.
"Chandralekha" released on 9 April 1948. The movie got good reviews but didn't make enough money. Vasan made a Hindi version with changes, new cast, and Hindi talking by Agha Jani Kashmiri and Pandit Indra. The Hindi version released on 24 December and did very well at the box office. This movie made South Indian cinema famous in India and gave a very good reason for South Indian producers to sell their Hindi films in North India.
Veerasimhan and Sasankan are the king's sons. Veerasimhan rides through a village. He meets Chandralekha, a dancer. They fall in love. Later the king decides to give the throne to Veerasimhan. Sasankan gets angry. He forms a group of thieves. They do crimes. Chandralekha's father is hurt and dies. Chandralekha becomes an orphan, someone with no parents. She joins a group of travelling musicians. Whilst they were travelling, Sasankan's gang attacks their caravan.
Sasankan tells Chandralekha to dance. She dances after Sasanken hits her, but then she escapes. Sasankan later captures Veerasimhan. Chandralekha sees Sasankan's men put Veerasimhan in a cave and hide it with a big rock. Chandralekha saves him with circus elephants. They join the circus to hide from Sasankan's men. Sasankan goes back to the palace, locks up his parents, becomes the king, and sends a spy to find Chandralekha.
The spy sees Chandralekha at the circus. The spy tries to catch her. Veerasimhan saves her. They join gypsies. When Veerasimhan goes to try to get help, Sasankan's men find Chandralekha. They take her to the palace. Sasankan tries to get Chandralekha to love him. She pretends to faint. A circus friend comes as a healer and hides that she is a friend. They talk in secret. Sasankan is happy that Chandralekha is okay. Chandralekha pretends to be cured and agrees to marry Sasankan. She wants a drum dance at the royal wedding, and he agrees.
Large drums are in rows near the palace. Chandralekha joins the dancers on the drums. Sasankan is impressed by Chandralekha's dance. Veerasimhan's soldiers hide in the drums. The dance finishes, and they attack Sasankan's men. Veerasimhan and Sasankan do a long sword fight. Sasankan loses and is put in prison. Veerasimhan becomes the new king, and Chandralekha is the queen. His parents are set free.
Cast from the the song book:
He announced "Chandralekha" without waiting for the story and advertised it a lot. But the story wasn't ready in three months. Vasan got impatient. He told the writers he would work on "Avvaiyyar" (1953) instead of "Chandralekha". After he gave them one more week, Kittoo found George W. M. Reynolds' book, "Robert Macaire; Or, the French Bandit in England". In the first chapter, he read:
Vasan was very happy when Kittoo told him a story based on the chapter. He started the film, and named the heroine Chandralekha. Although the story was created by Kittoo, the praise went to all of Gemini's story team. T. G. Raghavachari was hired as director.
The script had two main parts: the princes in a kingdom. The older was the hero, and the younger was the villain. M. K. Radha got the role of Sasankan, the young prince. He usually did hero roles, so he didn't want to be a villain. So, he agreed to be Veerasimhan, the older prince. His wife Gnanambal asked Vasan to cast Radha in the role. K. J. Mahadevan (a member of Gemini's story team) was chosen by Vasan to play Sasankan. Some footage filmed of Mahadevan. His performance seen as "too soft." He was removed; but, he stayed on the project as a scriptwriter and assistant director. Raghavachari suggested Ranjan as Sasankan. Vasan was unsure at first, thinking Ranjan was too soft for the very serious villain role. But later, Vasan agreed. Ranjan was busy with another movie, Saalivaahanan, but Kittoo convinced him to try for Chandralekha. Ranjan got a few days off, did a test, and it went well. So, Ranjan got the role.
Vasan's wanted K. L. V. Vasantha to play Chandralekha but T. R. Rajakumari was chosen to play Chandralekha. movie historian Randor Guy thought Vasan chose Rajakumari instead of Vasantha because she was leaving Gemini for Modern Theatresstudio. In April 1947, N. S. Krishnan got out of jail. He was earlier found guilty in the Lakshmikanthan murder case but was released when he appealed; Vasan hired him and T. A. Mathuram. They played circus artists. They helped Veerasimhan save Chandralekha from Sasankan. Mathuram's character was named Sumathi. The script got changed. New scenes were added. P. A. Subbiah Pillai played Chandralekha's father. This was Madurai Sriramulu Naidu and S. N. Lakshmi's first movie; Naidu played a horseman, and Lakshmi was a dancer in the ending drum-dance scene.
The struggling actor V. C. Ganeshamurthy wanted a small role in "Chandralekha". He contacted Kittoo many times. Ganeshamurthy grew his hair long for a part as Veerasimhan's bodyguard. Kittoo introduced him to Vasan. Vasan watched his stage performance. Vasan rejected him for his movie, saying he was unfit. Vasan suggested Ganeshamurthy choose another profession. This caused a very long fight between Vasan and Ganeshamurthy. The role of the bodyguard went to N. Seetharaman, later known as Javar Seetharaman. Kothamangalam Subbu's wife, Sundari Bai, played a circus performer who helps Chandralekha escape from Sasankan.
T. A. Jayalakshmi, in one of her earliest movie roles, was there for a short scene as a dancer. Veppathur Kittoo played Sasankan's spy and was an assistant director. Studio staff, families, and passers-by joined as extra people. They played spectators, or viewers in circus scenes. Vasan introduced Chandralekha in the movie during her circus performance with a voice-over.
"Chandralekha" started filming in 1943. Raghavachari directed most of the movie. But he had disagreements with Vasan about scenes at the Governor's Estate (now Raj Bhavan, Guindy). So, he left the project. Vasan then took over for his first time directing.
In post-production, Vasan asked Ramnoth about a scene with warriors saving Chandralekha. Others liked it, but Ramnoth worried about the suspense. They talked, and Vasan told Chandru to edit as Ramnoth suggested. It worked well. C. E. Biggs was the audio engineer..
"Chandralekha" is not a historical movie even though it is a period film. It's based on "Robert Macaire"'s first chapter. Sasankan is like Macaire, and Chandralekha is influenced by Western stories like "Blood and Sand, The Mark of Zorro, Robin Hood, The Thief of Baghdad," and "Ben-Hur". Jerzy Toeplitz said the characters act like gods in the Mahabharata. The story holds different episodes together like a circus. Uday Shankar's "Kalpana" inspired "Chandralekha". In the 2003 Encyclopaedia of Hindi Cinema, it's called a "period extravaganza".
The ending sword fight between Veerasimhan and Sasankan is similar to the fight in the 1894 novel, "The Prisoner of Zenda". In 1976, American movie historian William K. Everson said the comedians in "Chandralekha" were similar to Laurel and Hardy. French movie historian Yves Thoraval said that it "prefigured the dance that "Chandralekha" made famous the very next year."
"Chandralekha" soundtrack was created by S. Rajeswara Rao, with the speech by Papanasam Sivan and Kothamangalam Subbu. R. Vaidyanathan and B. Das Gupta worked with M. D. Parthasarathy on the background music. Rajeswara Rao said that in a 1993 interview for "The Hindu" it took him over a year to create the film's music: "As the dancers performed, we used to rehearse and compose the music. It was done with incredibly few instruments. We used a piano, ten double-bass violins, and drums from Africa, Egypt, and Persia which we have acquired from an African War troupe." Rao's payment was 1,500. The music was based by Carnatic and Hindustani music, Latin American and Portuguese folk music and Strauss waltzes. M. K. Raghavendra said that "Chandralekha" has "snatches from [Richard] Wagner and [Nikolai] Rimsky-Korsakov ("Scherezade") being used at dramatic moments."
"Naattiya Kuthirai," not part of the film, was added after during final production. Sundari Bai spent over a month practicing the song. M. D. Parthasarathy was the only singer of "Aathoram Kodikkalam" and also sang "Naattiya Kuthirai" with someone else. J. Cooling Rajaiah played the accordion and piano in the gypsy song of the movie. The circus song was from "The Donkey Serenade" in Robert Z. Leonard's 1937 movie, The Firefly. Vasan gave most of the songs on the Hindi soundtrack to Uma Devi, who became famously known as Tun Tun after. She first thought that the songs were too difficult for her, but Rajeswara Rao worked very much with her. "Sanjh Ki Bela," from the Hindi soundtrack, is based on "Sanjh Ki Bela Panchhi Akela" from Jwar Bhata (1944). Chandralekha's music helped it become one of the most successful Indian musical movies of the 1940s and gave a lot of ideas to many Tamil cinema music directors who liked Western music.
"Chandralekha" was released on 9 April 1948 in over 40 theatres in South India. A regular 1940s Tamil movie released in around ten towns. "Chandralekha" was released in 120 towns at once.
The movie was shown in Japan as in April 1954, where it was given out by Nippon Cinema Corporation (NCC). It was the first Tamil movie with speech in Japanese, and the second Indian movie that was shown in Japan. NCC later lost all its money, and no information about "Chandralekha" in Japan is available. A Danish copy of the film, "Indiens Hersker" ("India's Ruler"), was shown to the public on 26 April 1954. An English-language version of "Chandralekha", "Chandra", was shown in the United States and Europe during the 1950s.
Even though many people liked the movie and it earned a lot, there were no profits; Vasan remade it in Hindi to try to get profits. The Hindi version was given out by The Screens (a company in Bombay, now Mumbai), and it was shown to the public on 24 December 1948. It was very successful. Vasan called "Chandralekha" "a pageant for our peasants", for "the war-weary public that had been forced to watch insipid war propaganda pictures for years." It was selected by the Indian government for watching at the fourth International movie Festival in Prague in 1949. The movie's success made Madras a centre for Hindi films. Five years after "Chandralekha" success, Gemini paid its employees more money, one of the first studios in the world to do so.
In Japan, the movie got in ten days after its public showing in April 1954.
Raja Sen said that the film's set pieces, drum-dance sequence and the "longest swordfight ever captured on film" was very good in May 2010 on Rediff, saying that "Chandralekha" is "just the kind of film, in fact, that would be best appreciated now after digital restoration." Randor Guy was very happy with Rajakumari's acting in an October 2010 review, saying "Chandralekha" was her best movie and saying that she "carried the movie on her shoulders."
For the English release of "Chandralekha", "The New York Times" called Rajakumari a "buxom beauty," meaning a curvy woman who looks nice. When the movie was played in New York City in 1976, William K. Everson said: "It's a colorful, naive (very little experience) and zestful (very happy) movie in which the overall ingenuousness quite disarms criticism of plot absurdity or such production shortcomings as the too-obvious studio 'exteriors'... Last, but far from least, Busby Berkeley would surely have been delighted to see his influence extending to the climactic drum dance."
The Hindi version of "Chandralekha" was Vasan's first movie in Hindi. Vasan took some scenes again and used a slightly different cast. Agha Jani Kashmiri and Pandit Indra wrote the words for the Hindi version, while Indra and Bharat Vyas wrote the words for the songs. Bal Krishna Kalla helped Rao on the Hindi songs, and Parthasarathy and Vaidyanathan created the Hindi background music. The Tamil movie was over long, but the Hindi movie was changed down to .
His reign was marked as troubled constant warfare from the Avars and Slavs in the Balkans, Lombards in itlay, and the Persians from the East. Maurice was able to secure a large amount of land in the caucasus from Persia in exchange for helping Khosrow II get back to the sasanian throne. Although he was successful in the battlefields and foreign policies, he evetually faced mounting financial crises ehich made him unpopular. The army eventually proclaimed Phocas as their new emperor and deposed Maurice. While escaping with his family, they were caught and was executed by Phocas.

Sim Racing, short for "simulated racing", is a popular genre of video gaming that seeks to replicate the experience of real-world auto racing within a virtual environment. This immersive form of entertainment has gained a substantial following among motorsport enthusiasts and gaming communities worldwide.
Sim racing involves the use of specialized racing simulation software and hardware peripherals to create a realistic racing experience. Unlike conventional racing video games, sim racing places a strong emphasis on accuracy, striving to recreate the intricacies of real-world racing, including factors such as:
Before arcade-style and sim racing split, there were early driving simulation games, like Namco's 1982 game Pole Position. Atari promoted it as very realistic Formula 1 racing at the time.
Sim racing really started to grow in 1989 when Papyrus Design Group made Indianapolis 500: The Simulation. This game, created by David Kaemmer and Omar Khudari on 16-bit computers, is often seen as the first true racing simulation for personal computers.
F1 Racing Simulation by Ubisoft was one of the first to use this tech in 1997.
Later, Microprose released Grand Prix 3 with a better graphics engine, but it lacked full online multiplayer. Modders liked it because they could use stuff from the older game, GP2.
In 1998, Papyrus released Grand Prix Legends, praised for its physics and sound. It became a hit and led to online racing with VROC.
Even though it's old, GPL is still important in sim racing. They improved the physics and made expansions for later seasons, like 1969.
In 1997, Wired magazine had an article about racing sims called "Hard Drive."

Senedd constituencies and electoral regions
The Senedd, the unicameral parliament of Wales, has 40 single-member constituencies () and five multi-member electoral regions ().
The boundaries and names of the 40 constituencies are the same as those in the House of Commons in the Westminster Parliament.
Electoral region
An electoral region is a type of multi-member constituency used to elect members of a legislature. They are used in many parts of the world, but often are elected in a different way.
In Australia, electoral regions are only used to elect the Victorian Legislative Council, the upper house of the Parliament of Victoria. They are elected using group voting tickets, a system that is quite controversial in Australia.
Electoral regions were also formerly used to elect the Western Australian Legislative Council, the upper house of the Parliament of Western Australia, using the same system as in Victoria. However, this system has been scrapped and from the 2025 state election and onward the Legislative Council will be elected using the same system as the New South Wales and South Australian Legislative Councils, which are the upper houses of the state parliaments of New South Wales and South Australia, respectively.
The Senedd, the unicameral parliament of Wales, uses electoral regions to elect some of its members. They are elected using the D'Hondt system.
