Casualties 
As of 26 August 2021, at least 94 people were killed at or near the Kabul International Airport as thousands of people tried to forcibly board planes.

At least 103 people were killed and another two-hundred were injured in a suicide bomb attack near the Kabul International Airport on 26 August. This was when evacuations of local and foreign people were in progress. The attacks were performed by Islamic State militants. The dead included sixty-two Afghan civilians, twenty-eight Taliban members and thirteen U.S. service officials. The dead Americans were ten marines, two soldiers and one Navy corpsman.

The stained tree frog (Boana maculateralis) is a frog that lives in Ecuador, Colombia, and Peru.  Scientists have seen it between 186 and 354 meters above sea level.

The adult male frog is 3.2 to 4.00 cm long from nose to rear end and the adult female frog is 3.2 to 5.5 cm long.  It has light skin with darker marks and blue on its sides.

This frog is sympatric with Boana calcarata, Boana alfaroi, Boana calcarata and maybe Boana tetete.  This means that all these frogs came from the same ancestor frog species, and they became different species even though they all lived in the same place the whole time. 

This frog hides during the day and looks for food at night.  It lives in forests.  Scientists have seen it sitting on plants 2 meters above the ground.

The Latin name of this frog means "stains on its sides."

The little spotted kiwi (Apteryx owenii) is a species of kiwi. This bird does not fly.  It runs on the ground.  The little spotted kiwi is the smallest of all kiwis.

Appearance

This bird has light brown-gray feathers with white bands.  Its bill, or beak, is long and pale in color.  Its legs and toes are short and dark.

Habitat

In 2012, there were about 1650 little spotted kiwi alive.

Long ago, this bird lived all over New Zealand.  However, by the time European people came to live in New Zealand, there were almost no little spotted kiwi left on the North Island.  They still live on D'Urville Island.  There are none left on New Zealand's South Island.

In 1983, human beings started bringing little spotted kiwi from Kapiti Island and other places to other islands where they can live and raise chicks away from weasels, dogs, and the other animals from Europe that were killing and eating them.

Food

Little spotted kiwi look for food at night and hide during the day in burrows, hollow logs, or other hiding places.  They live in pairs.  Pairs of adult little spotted kiwi will fight each other over good places to look for food.  They will scratch at each other with their claws and pull out each other's feathers.  Little spotted kiwi look for food by touching the ground with their long beaks.  They eat earthworms, insects, and other animals with no bones.  The male kiwi and female kiwi will sing together as they look for food.

Breeding

The kiwis make a nest in a hollow log, crack in a rock or space dug out of the ground.  The eggs are white.  The female lays one or two eggs at a time.  Only the male kiwi sits on the egg.

While they have a common name with the Taliban in Afghanistan, their ideas are different. They also have a different leadership and their goals are different from those of the Afghan Taliban. 

The TTP want the Pakistani army to withdraw from Waziristan, which it occupied in 2009.

Differences between Afgan Taliban and the TTP 
Many experts think that the common name "Taliban" for both groups is misleading. Fights between the Pakistani army and the TTP have erroneously been reported as the army fighting the Afghan Taliban.

The TTP acts on its own, fighting the Pakistani armed forces;  Pakistan supported the Afghan Taliban in the past.

The Afghan Taliban also do not take part in  the fight of the TTP against the  Pakistani military.

The National Resistance Front of Afghanistan (NRF), also known as the Panjshir resistance and the Second Resistance is a military alliance of former Northern Alliance members and other anti-Taliban fighters who remain loyal to the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan. The group has been known since August 2021 - during the 2021 Taliban offensive.

The group had de facto control over the Panjshir Valley, as of early September 2021; but on September 6, 2021, there was heavy fighting and many deaths on both sides; the Taliban took control of the house that has the governor's office in Bazarak; and the Taliban took control of most of the Panjshir province.

The leaders of the resistance group are the politicians Ahmad Massoud and Amrullah Saleh (the vice president in the government that lost power over most of Afghanistan in August 2021).

Massoud escaped to Tajikistan [sometime between September 6 and September 21]; Saleh escaped (by helicopter) a few days after Massoud; The two have not been seen in public, after their escape, said "The Intercept" on September 21; Its sources are "a senior U.S. intelligence official, a Pentagon consultant, and two former senior Afghan government officials".

The name second resistance follows the name of the "first resistance" - a fight between the Northern Alliance (and a few other groups) against the Taliban from 1993 to the early 2000s.

Timeline of the Panjshir conflict

Media said in August, that "There have been messages among" American and British former soldiers and former private security contractors (that had worked in Afghanistan); the messages are saying that Afghans outside the country are "starting to
gather" money for raising [or building] "private forces [...] to fight the Taliban".

As of September 9, researchers at Bellingcat said that intelligence from publicly available sources, shows that the Taliban control territory at least  into the valley. The Taliban has placed the valley under siege, and journalists or goods can not come into the valley; That is why media said that is difficult to know how much control the Taliban have.

One investigative report was published by BBC on 13 September; The report found that the Taliban had executed at least 20 civilians in Panjshir since they went into the valley. Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid, on the other hand, denied the group had done any human rights violation in the province. Journalists from Agence France-Presse were let into Panjshir on 15 September; They found many villages in the three districts they visited nearly empty; Residents told the journalists that the Taliban had executed 19 civilians between the village of Khenj and Bazarak; Residents also said that civilians were being (stopped or) prevented from escaping the province, so that civilians could be used as human shields during attacks by resistance fighters.

A doctor in Panjshir  told Al Jazeera that all hospitals in the province had been closed or were operating on limited supplies, except for an emergency hospital staffed by Italians.

Turanid race (also Turanoid or South Siberian race) is a word from physical anthropology that no one uses any more.  In the past, anthropologists used this word to talk about people from South Siberia, called the South Siberian race They did this because using old ideas about dividing humans into groups by race could make it look like Europeans colonialism was a good thing.

When anthropologists first used this word, they meant people living in Central Asia and Kazakhstan. In European books, writers called it part of the Caucasian race with some "Mongoloid" mixed in. The form with strongly bronze age Andronovo characteristics is the most ancient form of the Turanid type.

Ethnic connections and subdivision
The Turanid race was said to be connected to Turkic peoples, Mountain Tajiks of Xinjiang (Sarikoli) and the Pamir tribes. Historically, tt was characteristic of the Onogurs, Huns, Magyars, Pechenegs, Cumans, Ancient Uyghurs, Avars, Kabars, Khazars, the Volga Bulgars (8th–9th cc.) and was one of the composite elements of the ruling strata of the Hungarians at the time of the conquest. Turanoid skulls dating to the Mesolithic age were also discovered at the archaeological site of Alfalou in North Africa.

In 1952, German anthropologist Egon Freiherr von Eickstedt subdivided the Turanid type as follows:

Species: Homo sapiens Modern human
Subspecies I: Homines sapientes albi Europids
Series C: Homines s. albi brachimorphi Mountain race belt
Variety 4: H. s. eurasicus Turanid
Subvarieties:
a) H. s. eur. turanicus Aralid
b) H. s. eur. pamiriensis Pamirid

There was a  civil war  in Afghanistan from from 1989 until 27 April 1992, the day after the proclamation (or announcement of the Peshawar Accords; those accords (or agreement) wrote about a plan, for an Afghan government to start on 28 April 1992.

History

The Soviet occupation of Afghanistan ended on 15 February 1989.

In March 1989, the mujahideen groups Hezb-e Islami Gulbuddin and Ittehad-e Islami attacked Jalalabad. By June, the two groups had lost the battle; the two groups had cooperation from the Pakistani Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI).

President President Najibullah lost power on 16 April 1992.

24–27 April, Militias were fighting each other, to take Kabul.

By 27 April 1992, Hekmatyar's Hezb-e Islami Gulbuddin forces had been pushed south outside Kabul, but new mujahideen groups entered Kabul (Ittehad-e Islami, Hezb-i Wahdat, Harakat), rivalling Jamiat and Junbish. They had divided the city, and they each took a part; the city was still largely undamaged.

Aftermath: The interim Mujaddidi government had little power from the beginning which was 28 April 1992, because rivalling groups fought for total power over Kabul and Afghanistan.

Haosi Namoinu is a character of a Meitei folktale. She is the only daughter of Pokmabi Laoshigam Chanu and Senbi Loikenba. She was the apple of their eyes. Her father was a minister of the then Ancient Moirang kingdom, in charge of collecting tributes from the land of Kabo (present day Western Myanmar).

However, after her mother's untimely death, her father remarried with Nganurol Laoshigam Chanu (Loisingam Chanu), the sister of her mother. Spending a few days happily, Senbi Loikenba left for Kabo on the King's errand and during his absence, Haosi Namoinu was harshly treated by her stepmother. She was not allowed to go outside and play with her friends. She had to work as much hard as she could to satisfy her stepmother. Her bliss of household life was much worsened.

Her stepmother ordered her work after work and she completed it with no rest. She was forced to husk the rice, tired as she was, again she had to cook food for them and serve but she uttered no lamentation. Her stepmother's ruthlessness came to the highest degree and she ordered Haosi Namoinu, that if she wanted to join the feast (spring festival), she had to go to the maternal grandparents' house and bring a load of paddy rice (un-husked rice). She did so, but her stepmother was still not satisfied, and struck her head with a cookery utensil. Having being deprived of all youthful delights, the girl transformed herself into a Hari Nongnang (cicada) (or cricket in some version), with her clothes as wings and feathers, and flew away with ravishing tears.

This legendary account is engraved in as one of the two stories in the Khongjomnubi Nongarol.

Havana syndrome is a medical episode of signs and symptoms reported by United States and Canadian embassy staff in Cuba which began in November 2016. It has happened in other countries such as in the United States, Austria, and Germany. The phenomenon that began in Havana has been reported by officials and their families stationed in Russia, Poland, Austria, Georgia, Taiwan, Colombia, China, Kyrgyzstan, the United Kingdom, India and Uzbekistan. 

In 2017, President Donald Trump blamed Cuba of causing unknown attacks which led to these symptoms. The U.S. lowered the number of staff at their embassy. In 2018, U.S. diplomats in China said they felt sick the same way diplomats in Cuba felt. The US intel services have not yet reached a consensus on a cause of the Havana syndrome, though unnamed sources have expressed suspicions to the press that Russian military intelligence is responsible.

The people who had the Havana syndrome were hospitalized, with some having brain injuries. While the exact cause of this is unknown, many scientists believe it is caused by a microwave weapons.

Gentrification is the process of changing how a neighborhood looks like by building better buildings, condominiums or tearing down old buildings to make it look better so that wealthier people and businesses can come live in this neighborhood.

Background 
Gentrification means the transformation of a working-class or vacant area of the main part of a city to middle class residential or commercial area. Gentrification often increases the economic value of a neighborhood, but changes the demographic of that neighborhood often causing people who lived in this neighborhood for a long time to leave because of rising prices. Gentrification mainly happens in neighborhoods where there is a large minority population such as African-American or Latinos.

The Gentrification of Chicago is a process that has changed the demographic of some neighborhoods in Chicago usually by lowering the percentage of low-income minority residents and increasing the percentage of white, higher-income residents.

Gentrification has been an issue between the residents of minority neighborhoods in Chicago. Many people in Chicago believe that gentrification is pushing poorer and mainly minority people out of their longtime neighborhoods.

Factors to measure gentrification in Chicago are changes in the number of residents with bachelor's degrees, median household income, racial makeup, visual looks, and the presence of coffee shops. There have been phases of gentrification in Chicago of various neighborhoods, some of which were in 1990s and in 2007–2009. Gentrification debates in Chicago have been mostly focused around the gentrification of Chicago's historically Latino or black neighborhoods. These neighborhoods are located near the central urban downtown areas and along the east side of the city.
 
Some neighborhoods in the city which has had a large minority population that has been gentrified include: Wicker Park, Humboldt Park, Pilsen, Logan Square, Uptown and the Cabrini–Green Homes in the city's Near North Side.

History of Chicago
Cabrini–Green Homes was a public housing project on the Near North Side of Chicago, Illinois. The Francis Cabrini Rowhouses and Extensions were in the Cabrini–Green neighborhood.

Cabrini-Green was home to 15,000 people, mostly living in mid- and high-rise apartment buildings. Crime in the area caused poor living conditions for many residents. "Cabrini-Green" became a well known example for problems caused by public housing in the United States. In 1995, CHA began tearing down mid- and high-rise buildings, with the last demolished in 2011. Today, only the original, two-story rowhouses remain.

The area has been rebuilt through the building of high-rises and townhouses, causing it to become a  mixed-income neighborhood.
