Its vocabulary is based on the Germanic and Romance languages. Its grammar is influenced by English.

History 
Jespersen introduced  Novial in his book An International Language in 1928. He updated it in his dictionary Novial Lexike in 1930. He proposed several modifications in the 1930s. However, the language became dormant with Jespersen's death in 1943. In the 1990s, with the revival of interest in constructed languages brought on by the Internet, some people rediscovered Novial.

"Family Guy Viewer Mail #2" is the 22nd episode of Family Guys 10th season. It was first broadcast on the Fox network on May 20, 2012. The next episode ("Internal Affairs") was broadcast right after this episode. The episode is in three parts: "Chap of the Manor", "Fatman and Robin", and "Point of Stew". The episode is based on an episode from the 3rd season, "Family Guy Viewer Mail #1". About 5.35 million people watched the episode when it was first broadcast.

BBC Three broadcasted the episode on August 11, 2014 in the United Kingdom. In the "Fatman and Robin" story, Peter Griffin is able to make everything he touches become Robin Williams. Peter later starts panicking because of this and tries to kill himself. This broadcast happened minutes before people knew Robin Williams had killed himself on the same day. People on Twitter and Reddit talked about how the episode was broadcast right before Robin Williams died. BBC Three broadcasted the episode at 11:25 pm. People learned about Robin Williams' death around 11:50 pm. A spokeswoman for BBC said that this was a strange coincidence. The episode was chosen to be broadcast on that day more than two weeks before. It would have been broadcast again four days later if this did not happen.

Phrynomedusa dryade is a frog that lives in Brazil.  Scientists have only seen it in five places, always in ponds or mountain streams.

The adult male frog is 2.8 to 3.2 cm long from nose to rear end, and the adult female frog can be 3.6 cm long.  Its nostrils are almost as far apart as its eyes.  Its eyes are very big.  Each eyeball is almost as big as the distance between the eyes.

This frog has thin front legs and strong back legs.  It is green in color with clear white lines.  Parts of its toes and legs are bright orange.

The female frog lays eggs in rows near cracks in rocks near the water.  The tadpoles swim upright in the water, with their tails facing down.

Scientists think that habitat loss might be a threat to this frog.  They also think it may have once lived in many more places, but the chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis may have killed those frogs.

Green Man Gaming is an online video game retailer, distributor and publisher in Britain. It has a multi-platform catalog of 9,000+ games from more than 1,350 publishers, selling games in 195 countries.

Green Man Gaming’s Publishing division lets independent video game studios opt for a mixture of services for publishing.

History 
In 2009, Paul Sulyok opened Green Man Gaming with Lee Packham. Green Man Gaming officially started trading on 10 May 2010. 

Callum Jay joined Green Man Gaming as CFO in 2011. He was a finance direction at Miniweb Interactive, Morgan Stanley Capital International and at the Tomb Raider publisher, Eidos. Tim Sawyer also joined Green Man Gaming as their EVP Operations in 2011. After a year-long silence at Twitter to develop Tweet Deck's iOS, Lee Packham returned to Green Man Gaming as Co-Founder and EVP Engineering.

On 9 July 2012, Green Man Gaming made public that it connects with Playfire. Playfire had more than 1.2 million users, tracking over 50,000 video games on the website allowing users to automatically track their gameplay and in-game achievements or trophies from Steam, PlayStation Network, and Xbox Live. At the end of July 2012, Green Man Gaming expanded its multi-platform portfolio to include selling boxed games, and PC-DVD, Xbox360, Xbox One, PS3, and PS4 games, as well as consoles and peripherals.

In March 2014, trade publication MCV CEO said that Paul Sulyok was one of the 100 most influential people working in the British video games industry.

In October 2016, the company made an agreement with Sony Interactive Entertainment to sell digital titles for PlayStation 4 consoles through redemption keys. Sony stopped selling redemption keys by March 2019.

In March 2017, Green Man Gaming started eCommerce. It was the first website in local language in Germany. Then Green Man Gaming made sites in 10 different languages including Chinese and South Korean. 

In April 2017, Paul Eibeler, who was a Take-Two CEO, took the position of an Advisor.

In February 2021, Green Man Gaming united with Payload Studios.

Published games

Controversy 
In 2015 Green Man Gaming answered to blames of unauthorised keys being sold on the Store. The majority of keys come directly from publishers, with the occasional need to offer keys for games from publishers that were not able to give them directly due to commercial limitations.

Following this, in November 2015, the company placed information on each game's store page on their site to finf the source of the redemption keys, either through Green Man Gaming directly from the publisher, or through an authorised third-party reseller, for full clarity.

Andrianafidisoa, popularly known as Fidy (10 March 1964 – 6 October 2021), was a military general of the Army of Madagascar and a Director of the National Mines and Strategic Industries Office (OMNIS). He allegedly attempted a coup d'état against Malagasy President Marc Ravalomanana on November 18, 2006.

Coup attempt 
Prior to his alleged coup attempt, in October 2006 General Andrianafidisoa had been barred from running for president in the election scheduled for December 3, 2006, for not paying the required deposit of 25,000,000 ariary.  Andrianafidisoa had earlier supported Ravalomanana in his struggle against Didier Ratsiraka over election results in 2002,  and led an attack by pro-Ravalomanana forces on Fianarantsoa at that time.

While Ravalomanana was out of the country, Andrianafidisoa had leaflets distributed declaring military rule; he called Ravalomanana's government unconstitutional and went to a base at Ivato Airport, seeking support from soldiers. One soldier was reported killed in a clash there, and Ravalomanana's flight, returning from Europe, was diverted to Mahajanga. Andrianafidisoa's takeover attempt failed, and he went into hiding or on the run; the government ordered his arrest and began searching for him. However, the general stated that "I am alive and I am not in hiding," on a telephone call to news organization Reuters. According to him, "Soldiers and politicians have got the message."

Subsequently Andrianafidisoa denied that the events had been a coup attempt, describing this as a misinterpretation. He did, however, acknowledge that he had called Ravalomanana's government unconstitutional and that he called for him to resign. On November 22, Andrianafidisoa received the backing of eight of the 14 presidential candidates, who said he was defending the constitution and the interests of the nation.

A $50,000 reward was offered for Andrianafidisoa's arrest. The secretary of state for public security said that Andrianafidisoa was taken by surprise and captured on December 12 at a hotel, and that he did not resist. Several guns, along with ammunition, were found with him. Police began interrogating Andrianafidisoa on December 14. Andrianafidisoa pleaded not guilty during his trial, and he and his lawyers argued that he had not attempted a coup, but had instead acted as a "lone soldier" attempting to alert the president to the situation of the armed forces. He was sentenced to four years in prison on February 2, 2007, and stated his intention to appeal the verdict. On February 20, he received an additional three-year prison sentence.

Ravalomanana was forced out of office by a combination of popular protests and military intervention in March 2009. Opposition leader Andry Rajoelina then took over as President of the High Authority of the Transition and promptly pardoned Andrianafidisoa, along with many other political prisoners, on 26 March 2009.

Death 
Andrianafidisoa died on 6 October 2021.

The 1668 North Anatolia earthquake was a very powerful earthquake that struck northcentral Anatolia in the Ottoman Empire (today Turkey) on August 17, 1668. The exact hour of the earthquake is not known, but it happened in late morning. It had an estimated magnitude between 7.8–8.0  and the maximum felt intensity was IX on the Modified Mercalli intensity scale. The epicenter of the earthquake was on the southern shore of Ladik Lake, southwest of Samsun. 

When the earthquake struck, a 600 km long segment of the North Anatolian Fault ruptured, which caused severe shaking along this entire segment and widespread heavy damage from at least Bolu in the west to Erzincan in the east. It resulted in about 8,000 deaths. The aftershocks continued for 6 months. It remains the most powerful earthquake recorded in Turkey.

Damage
The town of Bolu was reported to be almost completely destroyed by the earthquake, with 1,800 deaths. There was also severe damage further east along the fault, with another 6,000 reported deaths between Merzifon and Niksar. The total death toll was around 8,000. Some damage was also reported from as far east as Erzincan and at various locations along the Black Sea coast. The town of Samsun was also heavily damaged. The walls and towers of Samsun Castle were damaged and some parts of the structure "were demolished".

History

Groton was founded in 1705. That year, it separated from New London, Connecticut. The town was named after Groton, Suffolk in England. A hundred years before it was established, the Niantic people settled in the area between the Thames River and Pawcatuck River. They eventually settled, however, in Westerly, Rhode Island. The new people to the land were the Pequots. The latter were a branch of the Mohawk people. The Pequots people moved eastward into the Connecticut River Valley.

The summer of 1614 was the first time that the Pequots met white settlers. They started trading furs for the settlers' goods. Those included steel knives, needles and boots. In 1633, the Dutch bought land from them (the Pequots). The earlier then opened a fur trading post. Meanwhile (at the same time), the English bought land for settlement from the local tribes. The Dutch had unintentionally killed the Pequots' chief. This led to revenge by the Pequot tribe, and this escalated into the Pequot War (1636–38). On the night of May 26, 1637, the Colonial forces arrived outside the Pequot village near the Mystic River. The palisade surrounding the village had only two exits. Their leader, Colonel John Mason, gave the order to set the village on fire and block off the exits. Those who tried climbing over the palisade were shot. Those who succeeded in getting over were killed by the Narragansett forces.
