The Azerbaijan Cup is a major association football competition in Azerbaijan. In its original form, it started in 1936, when the Azerbaijan Soviet Socialist Republic was a republic of the Soviet Union and it was not disputed by Azerbaijani teams in the Soviet league pyramid.

Compared to cups in many other countries, Azerbaijan attracts considerably less public interest and even the cup final tickets are rarely sold out. Consequently, the Association of Football Federations of Azerbaijan has experimented with the cup in order to raise public interest for the cup.

Format 
The clubs from Azerbaijan First Division (2nd tier) play in the First Round. The winners of that round advance to the Second Round, where the clubs from the Azerbaijani Premier League (1st tier) join. For the quarterfinals and the semifinals, the round-robin system is used. For the finals, the format is restored to head-to-head.

Participants
All clubs from the Azerbaijani Premier League and the Azerbaijan First Division.

"Annie's Song" is a song recorded and written by singer/songwriter John Denver. It was his second number one song in the USA, staying that place for two weeks in July 1974. It also went to number one in the UK. 

"Annie's Song" was written as an poem to Denver's then-wife, Annie Denver (Annie Martel) of Sleepy Eye, Minnesota.

This song was written while Denver was riding a ski lift in Switzerland. He said, by the time he had finished the 10 minute ride, the song was finished. It also recall an image of hiking through a state park in nearby New Ulm, Minnesota, Denver might have become filled with wonder at the beauty around, and thinking about his wife. 

The song has since become a wedding standard and an expression of love for many people, due to its grand imagery and the fact it could appeal anyone (Annie is not mentioned by name in any part of the song).

Nyctimystes ocreptus is a tree frog from Papua New Guinea.  Scintists found it on Mount Albert Edward, 2600 meters above sea level. Some may also live on Mount Victoria or Mount Knutsford.

This frog has brown eyes.  The veins in its lower eyelid go in all directions, like a net.  This frog's skin is gold-green to gray-green in color.  Its belly is white with purple and brown marks.

Scientists say this frog is related to the common big-eyed tree frog, Nyctimystes narinosus.

The name of this frog is from the words "oculus in rete captus," which means "eye caught in a net."

On 4 August 2020, an explosion happened in the city of Beirut, the capital of Lebanon.

The blast happened at the Port of Beirut and left at least 220 people dead (with the total expected to go higher), at least 7,500 injured, and many more missing. The Governor of Beirut, Marwan Abboud, said over 300,000 people lost their homes.

It is said that the explosion may have been caused by 2,750 tonnes of ammonium nitrate. Ammonium nitrate is a chemical substance that can be used for fertilizer. It can also be used to make explosives. The government took the ammonium nitrate from a ship in the port of Damascus, the MV Rhosus. The MV Rhosus had been abandoned in the port, after the Lebanese government said it was no longer fit to travel by sea. The ammonium nitrate was then stored in the port, for at least six years. This may have been without the proper precautions. There are various regulations how ammonium nitrate should be stored, and handled.  In its pure form, ammonium nitrate does not burn; but it increases fires a great deal. It should therefore not be stored near flammable substances, and it should not be heated in a closed space. It is also very sensitive to temperature.

Before the big explosion, here seems to have been a fire in a part of the warehouse, where fireworks were stored. The ammonium nitrate was stored in the same building.

The explosion has been compared to three thousand tonnes of TNT.

Some countries offered medical aid, rescue teams and money to help deal with the aftermath of the disaster.

Orichalcum or aurichalcum, ὀρείχαλκος is the name of a metal or two different metals.  Old writings from ancient Greece talk about orichalcum and the Romans made coins out of a metal they called orichalcum, but they might not have been the same metal.  People today are not sure exactly what it was.  Some scholars think orichalcum was the ancient Greek name for platinum.  Others think it was an alloy, or mixture, of copper and either gold, tin, or zinc.  Scientists examined Roman coins and found a mixture of copper and zinc.

Name

The name orichalcum is from the Greek word for "mountain copper" or "mountain metal."

Some people think name aurichalcum comes from the word aurum for "gold," but it does not.

Greek orichalcum

In general, when ancient Greek writers wrote about orichalcum, they said it was a metal that looked like gold but that they did not know much else about it. To Homer, Hesiod and Plato, orichalcum was a metal from much earlier times that did not exist in their own time and place.

In one of the Homeric Hymns, Homer writes about orichalcum earrings.  He says the goddess Aphrodite wears them.  Hesiod writes about orichalcum greaves, which are leg armor. Neither writer was talking about his own time and place.

Plato wrote about orichalcum in his book Critias.  In the book, Plato says orichalchum was in the ground of the legendary island of Atlantis.  To the Atlanteans, it was the second-most-valuable metal, after gold.  Plato says the Atlanteans put orichalcum on their city walls and temples.  Plato calls orichalcum "only a name" in his own time, meaning he did not think he had ever seen orichalcum.

Roman orichalcum

The ancient Romans also had a metal that they called orichalcum.  Around the time the Roman Republic ended and the Roman Empire started, the Romans stopped making coins out of bronze and started making them out of orichalcum: asses coins, sestertii coins, dupondii coins and semisses coins.

Roman orichalcum does corrode over time, the way iron rusts and silver tarnishes.

Making orichalcum

Scientists analyzed Roman coins and saw they were made of copper and zinc.  During the early days of the Roman Empire, Romans invented a better way to make zinc-copper alloys.  This way is called cementation.  To do it, the metalworker has to heat the zinc and copper to exactly the correct temperature.  Then there can be as much as 30% zinc in the orichalcum.

In fiction

Orichalcum appears in many works of fiction, especially stories about Atlantis.  It is in television shows, for example The Mysterious Cities of Gold and Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water. It is in video games, for example Castlevania: Curse of Darkness and Elder Scrolls.

Overeating (or over-eating) is eating food more than the body needs. There is a relationship between the energy that an organism uses and the amount eaten. Eating more leads to weight gaining and often obesity. It may be regarded as an eating disorder.

One consequence of overeating is weight gain, and excess weight may cause blood pressure to rise. In turn this makes illness and even death more likely.

The problem is very difficult to reverse: losing weight is often attempted, but rarely succeeds. Weight lost is usually rapidly replaced. Diets are famously unsuccessful. Obesity is the end product of overeating.

Some difficult facts are known. Poorer families tend to eat worse food than better-off families. Children learn from the experiences in their families. Once established, habits are hard to break. In 2013, several medical societies, including the American Medical Association and the American Heart Association, classified obesity as a disease.

Catherine Daisy Coleman (March 30, 1997 – August 4, 2020) was an American women's rights activist. Her experience of sexual assault at the age of 14 was featured in the 2016 documentary movie Audrie & Daisy. 

Coleman co-founded the nonprofit organization, SafeBAE aimed at preventing sexual assault in schools. 

In January 2012, Matthew Barnett, 17, was arrested for the rape and sexual assault of Coleman, a 14-year-old girl. However, the case was dropped by the county prosecutor. Many believe it was dropped because Barnett's grandfather was state representative Rex Barnett.

Coleman died by suicide on August 4, 2020 at the age of 23.
