The Battle of Stalingrad lasted from August 21, 1942 to February 2, 1943, where 1.7 million to 2 million Axis and Soviet soldiers were killed, wounded or captured, in addition to over 40,000 civilians killed. The city was reduced to rubble during the fierce fighting, but reconstruction began soon after the Germans were expelled from the city.
Nikita Khrushchev renamed the city because of de-Stalinization in 1961.

The term race or racial group refers to dividing the human species into groups. The most widely used human racial types are those based on visual traits (such as skin color, cranial, facial features, or type of hair).
Modern biology says that there is only one human race (biology). But the word "race" also has a meaning in sociology. Many people react in one way if they see a white person and in another way if they see a black person. That's why census forms sometimes ask people to describe their ethnic origin. It is a way of asking "what racial group do you think you are?".
There was much prejudice in this way of looking at the world. The Europeans and Asians both regarded themselves as superior to the other skin colors. Racism, a non-scientific theory or ideology, was that a particular race was superior or inferior. It argued that in the races that make up the human race, there are deep, biologically determined differences. It also states races should live separately and not intermarry. A supporter of racism is called a racist. These attitudes supported the horrors of African slavery, Apartheid, segregation and the Jim Crow laws, Nazism and Japanese imperialism.
Recent genetic studies show that the skin color in a population may change a lot over as few as 100 generations, or about 2,500 years.
Social darwinism refers to the idea that competition is active among all individuals, or groups.
It is a social adaptation of the theory of natural selection as proposed by Charles Darwin.

A metal detector is a tool a person can use to help find metal nearby. It is useful for finding metal within other objects, or for finding metal underground. Most metal detectors will make a sound or have a needle move on a sensor in order to show where objects are. This tells how close you are to an object - for example, by making a higher-pitched sound when you are closer to an object.
Alexander Graham Bell invented a kind of metal detector in 1881 when he was trying to find the bullet in President James Garfield's body after he had been shot. The metal detector worked but it was confused between the bullet and a coiled bed-spring on which the President lay.
Gerhard Fischer made a better version in the 1920s but the detector got confused when someone was approaching ore-bearing rocks. He was given a patent in 1925. A businessman named Shirl Herr had earlier tried to get a patent for a metal detector but was not given one until 1928.

The monarch caterpillar is banded with yellow, black, and white stripes. The head is also striped with yellow and black. There are four black body extensions, two on each end of the body. They look similar to antennae. The caterpillar will be as long as 5 cm (2 inches).
The female lays her eggs one by one. They are laid on the underside of the leaves of caterpillar's food plant. The eggs are light yellow. Freshly laid eggs are creamy-white. After three to four days, they turn dark gray. The egg usually weighs about 0.54 milligrams. It is about 1.2 millimeters long. Its diameter is about 0.87 millimeters (average on 55 eggs).
The caterpillar hatches out of the egg. The young caterpillar is a gray-black color with a black head.

The Rite of Spring ("Le Sacre du Printemps") is a ballet in two parts. It was written for the 1913 Paris season of Sergei Diaghilev's Ballets Russes company.
The music was written by Igor Stravinsky. The dances, which Stravinsky hated, were choreographed by Vaslav Nijinsky. The style of the dance was not in traditional ballet form, but as what Nijinsky imagined to be a primitive ritual. Stravinsky complained that Nijinsky had no understanding of the rudiments of music. The set and costumes were designed by Nicholas Roerich.
The painter Nicholas Roerich talked with Stravinsky about the idea for this ballet in 1910. Stravinsky started writing down musical ideas while he was still working on his ballet "The Firebird". Then he worked on "Petrushka". In 1912 he was able to concentrate on "The Rite of Spring". All these ballets were composed for Sergei Diaghilev's Ballets Russes.
"The Rite of Spring" uses a very large orchestra with some unusual instruments. There are almost 100 people playing the piece. Here is a list of the instruments used:
Nijinsky's choreography was thought almost as shocking as the music. The idea is: a tribe sacrifices a young virgin each year in the Spring to please their gods, and make sure crops grow well. The dancers adopt a pigeon-toed stance (position); their moves are heavy. They move together in groups; their movements are like a ritual. They look like a primitive tribe performing a ritual. The ritual moves towards the sacrifice of the girl. "The Rite of Spring" is a link between classical ballet and modern dance.
Nijinsky's choreography has not been kept very well, but there have been efforts in recent years to reconstruct his performance, using costumes and set designs that look like the original ones from 1912. The Royal Ballet in London has a compact disc which discusses Bronislava Nijinska's directions for the dance in a modern (post WWII) production of the ballet.
The theory of recapitulation was a theory that linked evolution (the change in organisms over time) with embryology (the way organisms develop before they are born). The theory stated that before they are born, organisms pass through developmental stages that look like adult animals of other species, in roughly the same order that these other species split off during evolution.
When the volcano erupted in 1815, it climaxed on 10 April. It was the most destructive volcanic eruption in modern history. It has been estimated that it was four times larger than the 1883 eruption of Krakatoa, between Java and Sumatra, in terms of volume of magma ejected. Before the explosion, Tambora was 4,300 m (14,100 ft) high, now it is only 2,722 m (8,930 ft) high. Its massive crater is therefore a caldera.
It released 160 cubic kilometers of ash into the upper atmosphere. This caused famine around the world. Tambora's 1815 outburst was the largest volcanic eruption in recorded history. It had a Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) of 7 and was one of the most violent eruptions in the last 5,000 years, comparable to the 180 AD "Hatepe eruption" of Taupo Volcano and the 969 AD eruption of Baekdu Mountain. The explosion was heard on Sumatra island more than away. Heavy volcanic ash falls were observed as far away as Borneo, Sulawesi, Java and Maluku islands.

Mullah Muhammad Umar Mujahid (1959 - 23 April 2013) was the leader of the Taliban in Afghanistan. He was usually called Mullah Omar. Between 1996 and 2001, he was Afghanistan's de facto head of state. Three states officially recognised him under the title of 'Head of the Supreme Council'. He was born in 1959 in Kandahar Province of Afghanistan. He held the title Commander of the Faithful from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan.
Despite his political rank, and his high status on the FBI's wanted list, not much was publicly known about Omar. There are very few photos of him. A picture that was used by the media in 2002, shows another Taliban official, but not Omar. It is also debated how authoritative the images that exist really are.
Omar's right eye was missing as the result of a war wound. People described him as being tall. He was described as shy and untalkative with foreigners.
On 29 July 2015, the Afghan government and state intelligence sources said that Omar had died in April 2013 two years previously in Karachi, Pakistan, of tuberculosis. Some Taliban sources denied that he had died; other sources considered the report to be speculative, designed to destabilise peace negotiations in Pakistan between the Afghan government and the Taliban. A Taliban spokesman said that they would issue a statement. Abdul Hassib Seddiqi, the spokesman for Afghanistan's National Directorate of Security, claimed: "We confirm officially that he is dead".

Carom billiards, sometimes called carambole billiards or simply carambole (and sometimes used as another word for a game called "straight rail") are a family of billiards games played on cloth-covered tables. In these games, the players strike heavy balls with sticks called cues. Carom billiards tables have no or opening where balls are sunk, that snooker and pool tables do have. In its simplest form, the object of carom billiards games is to score points or "counts" by bouncing one's own ball, called a cue ball, off of the other two balls on the table. The date the first carom game was invented is not exactly known. Also, how exactly the games developed and which game was first is not clear. However, carom billiards games are believed to have started sometime in the 18th-century (the 1700s) in France in Europe.

Tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, is the chemical or drug made in the cannabis that causes a person to feel different. It is similar to at least 113 other chemicals in cannabis, known as cannabinoids, but not all of them will cause people to feel different or high after using it. There are about 540 chemicals in cannabis total. THC is a very fatty chemical and does not interact with water very well. THC is thought to be used by the plant for protection from bugs, light, and other harm from its environment. The THC chemical structure was discovered in 1964 by Dr. Raphael Mechoulam and Dr. Y. Gaoni at the Weizmann Institute in Israel.
Cannabis works by sticking to special receptors in the brain and body, which is known as the endocannabinoid system or ECS. There are 2 kinds of receptors, CB and CB. Over time, a person will need more THC to feel the same effects as before. This is known as tolerance. A person may also experience withdrawal, which can be uncomfortable and is a result of stopping THC use quickly after using it for some time. People usually do not get addicted to using THC.
THC is very fatty (fat soluble) and binds to fat cells in the human body and causing it to leave slowly, even if the effects of the drug or high has already ended. The amount still in the body depends on how often THC is used. The minimum time for a person to pass a drug test would be about 1 week. It is not possible for humans or animals to realistically die from taking too much THC or marijuana and no person has ever died from it.
In North America, Canada and Mexico have taken action to allow marijuana use in some way. In the United States, the federal government sees marijuana as illegal and very addictive and cannot be used as a medicine. Individual states with in the U.S. allows people to use marijuana to help with sickness or recreationally.
Employers or people who work in a government agency, like the police or FBI, may test someone to see if they used any drugs recently. This is called a drug test. Police may do this if they think you have used marijuana before or while you are driving a car. THC lasts a long time in the body and can be found in body fluids, like urine or saliva, or hair and sweat. Since it lasts so long in the body, it can be a problem being sure if someone is high.

Justin Drew Bieber, (born March 1, 1994 in Stratford, Ontario, Canada) is a Canadian singer and songwriter. He was discovered by his manager Scooter Braun from his YouTube videos in 2008.
Justin Bieber grew up in Ontario. When he was twelve years old, he went into a local singing contest. He came in third place. The video of the contest was uploaded to his YouTube channel run by his mother Pattie Mallette. Bieber was noticed by famous music industry manager Scott Samuel "Scooter" Braun. Braun saw the 12-year-old boy on YouTube singing a song by Ne-Yo. Braun contacted Bieber's mother, Pattie Mallette, who agreed to bring her son, who was 14 years old at that time, to Atlanta to try working together. Braun convinced them to move from Canada to the United States. After seeing more success, Braun presented Bieber to two successful artists, Usher and Justin Timberlake. Both showed interest. Eventually Usher's mentor, music executive L. A. Reid, signed Bieber to a deal with Island Def Jam.
In 2009, Bieber toured with Iyaz and Taylor Swift, and traveled in the United States. His first EP, "My World", which was released in that year, features four singles, "One Time", "One Less Lonely Girl", "Favorite Girl", and "Love Me". He signed to a record deal with Usher. He released "My World 2.0" in March 2010 as his debut studio album, as well as going on a world tour. The album includes his smash hit single "Baby" featuring Ludacris, a remix version of "Somebody to Love" featuring his mentor Usher, and two promotional singles "U Smile", and "Never Let You Go". In the same year, he released "My Worlds Acoustic", which includes acoustic versions of his songs from the "My World" album and it also contains the ballad song "Pray". "Purpose"'s single "Sorry" is his most popular song.
In late 2011, he made his professional acting debut in the biopic 3D concert film "Justin Bieber: Never Say Never", the movie is accompanied with the release of his remix album "", which includes remix versions of songs from his previous albums, collaborations with other recording artists and a brand-new track is also included. The remix album includes the single "Never Say Never" a duet song with singer and actor Jaden Smith in which it serves as the theme song for the 2010 movie "The Karate Kid." That same year, he released his first Christmas-themed album and his second studio album, "Under the Mistletoe", it features the singles "Mistletoe", <nowiki>"</nowiki>Fa La La" featuring hip hop vocal group Boyz II Men, "All I Want For Christmas Is You" featuring Mariah Carey, and "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town".
On January 23, 2014, Bieber was arrested in Miami, Florida, for drunk driving, resisting arrest and driving with an expired drivers license. Late 2013 and most of 2014 was a difficult time for Bieber because Scooter, Bieber's manager, was focused on his new client, Ariana Grande.
Bieber dated singer and actress Selena Gomez from 2011 to 2012, and on and off from 2013 to 2014. Even though he said in an interview in 2014 that he and Gomez were officially together once again, they broke up again. Bieber got engaged to Hailey Baldwin on July 7, 2018. They got married in a private courthouse in September 2018, but then got married in Bluffton, South Carolina in September 2019.
Bieber has revealed that he has currently been dealing with several mental health issues, such as depression and anxiety. However, during an interview, he said he had contracted Lyme disease and other health problems.
In June 2022, Bieber announced that he had Ramsay Hunt syndrome type 2 and this had caused half of his face to become paralyzed.

John Nicholaas Rep (born 25 November 1951) is a Dutch former professional footballer who played as a right winger. He was born in Zaandam. He currently holds the all-time record for FIFA World Cup goals for the Netherlands with 7. He played two European Cup finals and two World Championship finals for The Netherlands (1974 and 1978). A side striker who later became a right winger, he was a fast and skilled dribbler who was well suited to Dutch "total football". Considered as one of the best Dutch players and he is regarded as one of the greatest wingers in 1970s.
In 1975 Rep left Ajax for the Spanish club Valencia CF. Then he was superseded by Tscheu La Ling. He played two seasons at Valencia during which he scored 22 goals. The next step in his career took Rep to France. He played two seasons for SC Bastia (33 goals) and four seasons for AS Saint-Etienne (44 goals). He returned to the Dutch league in 1983 to play for PEC Zwolle, Feyenoord before ending his professional player career at HFC Haarlem.
Dutch international from 1973 to 1981, a period in which he collected 42 appearances and scored 12 goals. Rep together with other players such as Johan Cruijff, Ruud Krol, Johan Neeskens and Rob Rensenbrink formed the backbone of the Dutch national team which in that period was runner-up in the world twice consecutively (in Germany 1974 and in Argentina 1978) and third during UEFA Euro 1976.
During the 1974 FIFA World Cup in Germany, the Netherlands started strong by beating Uruguay 2-0 and Rep was a great protagonist with a brace: a header from a cross by Suurbier and a great collective action originating from a ball intercepted by Rep and finished by himself. After the goalless draw with Sweden, the Netherlands overwhelmed Bulgaria 4-1 and Rep scored again, this time with an assist from Cruijff, In the second group stage, the Netherlands started with a clear 4-0 against Argentina and Rep scored his fourth personal goal in this World Cup by correcting a non-exceptional cross from Cruijff. After defeating East Germany and Brazil, the Netherlands reached the final which was then lost 2-1 against the hosts West Germany: on the 1-1 result Cruijff offered Rep a golden ball to score but the winger's shot Dutch left is saved by Sepp Maier, the German goalkeeper who seemed insurmountable that day.
At the UEFA Euro 1976, the Netherlands reached the semi-finals after advancing the preliminary group stage on better goal difference than Poland and having scrambled Belgium in the quarter-finals with a clear 5-0 first leg and a 2-1 second leg (with goals from Rep). In the semifinals, the Netherlands were eliminated by Czechoslovakia, losing 3-1 in a very violent match, which ended in ten against nine after extra time and played on a flooded pitch. The Netherlands will win the final against Yugoslavia 3-2 and finish third.
At the 1978 FIFA World Cup in Argentina, Holland is without the champion Cruijff so the three stars Johnny Rep, Johan Neeskens and Rob Rensenbrink are loaded with more responsibility. But despite this, the three thanks above all to the contribution of the van de Kerkhof twins, Arie Haan and Ernie Brandts dragged the Dutch national team to the final. Rep plays all the matches, earns two penalties and scores three goals: he scores with a long shot in the 3-2 defeat against Scotland and scores twice in the 5-1 win against Austria, both goals from an assist from Rensenbrink. With the three goals scored in this edition Rep becomes the Dutchman to have scored the most goals in the final stages of the World Cup: seven goals. The Netherlands loses the final again (a final characterized by a refereeing harbinger of controversy given the numerous bookings for the oranjes) this time 3-1 after extra time against Argentina and the various attempts by the Rep and his teammates to seek victory yes they break against Ubaldo Fillol, on a day of grace.
