was a Japanese novelist and translator. She translated Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery to Japanese.

Early life and education 
Muraoka was born on June 21, 1893, in Kofu, Yamanashi Prefecture. Her birth name was Hana Annaka. Her parents were Methodists. She was raised as a Christian. She studied at the Tokyo Eiwa Jogakuin. She began writing children's stories when she was encouraged by translator Hiroko Katayama. She graduated from school in 1913.

Career 
After graduation, Muraoka returned to Yamanashi and taught at a branch of the Toyo Eiwa Jogakuin there. In 1917 she published her first book, Rohen.

She married Keizo Muraoka in 1919. They had a son in 1920. Keizo's printing company went bankrupt in 1926 after the 1923 Great Kanto Earthquake. They restarted the company in their home. Soon after that, their son died and Muraoka became depressed. Katayama encouraged her to translate Mark Twain's The Prince and the Pauper, and this helped her return to regular life.

In 1932, Muraoka started a radio show She read the news to children. The show became very popular, and children all over Japan called her the "Rajio no Obasan" (Radio Auntie). The show ended in the early 1940s as World War II began. Muraoka did not want to read news that called Canadians the enemy because many of her friends were Canadian.

In 1939 her friend Loretta Leonard Shaw gave Muraoka the book Anne of Green Gables. Muraoka translated it during the war. The book was published in 1952 and became a bestseller. It became part of the Japanese school curriculum in the 1970s. Some translators later criticized Muraoka's translation because she had left some parts out.

Muraoka planned her first trip to Prince Edward Island in 1968. But, she did not visit before she died of a stroke on October 25, 1968. A television drama called Hanako to Anne was broadcast in 2014. It was based on a book about her life called An no Yurikago Muraoka Hanako no Shogai, written by her granddaughter, Eri Muraoka.

Joshua son of Nun is a person in the Bible. Joshua is used as a general against Amalek after Amalek attacks the Israelites. When Moses goes up to Mount Sinai to get the Torah from God, Joshua stays at the bottom of the mountain waiting for Moses to come back. He doesn't realise that the people are worshiping a Golden Calf as an idol until after Moses tells him. 

When two people named Eldad and Medad become prophets, Joshua is annoyed because he thinks only Moses should be a prophet though Moses tells Joshua that if it were up to him every Israelite would be a prophet. 

Joshua, it turns out was once named Hosea but then Moses sends him as one of Twelve spies to Canaan after first renaming him Joshua. Ten of the spies try to convince the Israelites that it would be better to go back to being slaves in Egypt than enter the Promised Land because if they tried to conquer Canaan they'd get killed. Joshua and Caleb said that if they came to the Promised Land, God would make sure they would survive against their enemies just like He had saved them from Egypt. 

When Moses dies, he, at the command of God, appoints Joshua leader of the Israelites. Joshua mourns Moses for many months after his death but then God commands Joshua to conquer Canaan. Joshua enters the Promised Land as a general kills 39 kings and manages to take over most of the country. He then divides the land among the Twelve Tribes of Israel and then dies. There is a book in the Bible named after him called the Book of Joshua.

Min Yoon-gi (; born March 9, 1993), better known by his stage names Suga and Agust D, is a South Korean rapper, songwriter, and record producer.

Name 

The stage name Suga () comes from the first syllables of the term shooting guard (). It is the position he played in basketball as a student. He adopted the alias Agust D in 2016 for his mixtape. It was from his initials DT. In short for his birthplace, Daegu Town, and "Suga" spelled backwards.

Career 
Suga is responsible for writing, composing, arranging, mixing, and mastering his materials. Over 70 registered songs are credited to him by the Korea Music Copyright Association. 

He is a pianist, and produces hip hop and R&B music. His lyrics involve themes that are "full of dreams and hope," conceived with the intent of his music becoming "many people's strength." He cites Stony Skunk and Epik High as his inspirations to pursue hip hop music. 

Particularly, he credits the former's reggae-hiphop hybrid album Ragga Muffin (2005) and its title track for igniting his interest in the genre.

Jeff Benjamin of Fuse said that Suga's mixtape "showcases the star's ear for hot productions, hardcore rap style, and how he can make his vulnerabilities a strength." Other critics stated that Suga's "storytelling execution in the music he creates tears down the barrier of censoring and sugarcoating".

In January 2018, Suga was promoted to a full member of the Korea Music Copyright Association.

Georges Albert Édouard Brutus Gilles de la Tourette (30 October 1857 – 26 May 1904) was a French medical doctor. He was a neurologist, but the field did not exist during his time. His main work in medicine were in the fields of hypnotism and hysteria. He is the namesake of Tourette syndrome, a neurological condition identified by physical and verbal tics. By 1885, Gilles de la Tourette published nine cases with similar symptoms. His mentor, Jean-Martin Charcot, renamed the syndrome "Gilles de la Tourette's illness" in his honour.

Gilles de la Tourette was born in Saint-Gervais-les-Trois-Clochers, Vienne. He married his cousin Marie Detrois (1867–1922) in 1887. The couple had four children, one of whom died in childhood of meningitis.

In 1893, a former female patient shot Gilles de la Tourette in the head. She claimed that he had hypnotised her against her will. He soon began to have mood swings between depression and hypomania. Around 1901–02, his condition became worse. On 26 May 1904, he died at a psychiatric hospital in Prilly, Lausanne, Switzerland. He was 46.
