Maria Leopoldina of Austria

Dona Maria Leopoldina of Austria (22 January 1797 – 11 December 1826) was Empress of Brazil as the wife of Emperor Dom Pedro I from 12 October 1822 until her death. She was also Queen of Portugal during her husband's brief reign as King Dom Pedro IV from 10 March to 2 May 1826.

She was born Caroline Josepha Leopoldine Franziska Ferdinanda of Habsburg-Lorraine, Archduchess of Austria in Vienna, Austria, the daughter of Holy Roman Emperor Francis II, and his second wife, Maria Theresa of Naples and Sicily. Among her many siblings were Emperor Ferdinand I of Austria and Marie Louise, Duchess of Parma, the wife of Napoleon Bonaparte.

The education Maria Leopoldina had received in childhood and adolescence was eclectic and broad, with a higher cultural level and more consistent political training. Such education of the little princes and princesses of the Habsburg family was based on the educational belief initiated by their grandfather Holy Roman Emperor Leopold II, who believed "that children should be inspired from an early age to have high qualities, such as humanity, compassion and the desire to make people happy". With a deep Christian faith and a solid scientific and cultural background (which included international politics and notions of government) the Archduchess had been prepared from an early age to being a proper royal consort.

In the 21st century, it has been proposed by some historians that she was one of the main articulators of the process of Independence of Brazil that took place in 1822. Her biographer, historian Paulo Rezzutti, maintains that it was largely thanks to her that Brazil became a nation. According to him, the wife of Dom Pedro "embraced Brazil as her country, Brazilians as her people and Independence as her cause". She was also adviser to Dom Pedro on important political decisions that reflected the future of the nation, such as the Dia do Fico and the subsequent opposition and disobedience to the Portuguese courts regarding the couple's return to Portugal. Consequently, for governing the country on Dom Pedro's trips through the Brazilian provinces, she is considered the first woman to become head of state in an independent American country.

Birth of Christianity

The history of Christianity concerns the Christian religion, Christian countries, and the Christians with their various denominations, from the 1st century to the present.

Christianity originated with the ministry of Jesus, a Jewish teacher and healer who proclaimed the imminent kingdom of God and was crucified c. AD 30–33 in Jerusalem in the Roman province of Judea. His followers believe that, according to the Gospels, he was the Son of God and that he died for the forgiveness of sins and was raised from the dead and exalted by God, and will return soon at the inception of God's kingdom.

The earliest followers of Jesus were apocalyptic Jewish Christians. The inclusion of gentiles in the developing early Christian Church caused a schism between Judaism and Jewish Christianity during the first two centuries of the Christian Era. In 313, Emperor Constantine I issued the Edict of Milan legalizing Christian worship. In 380, with the Edict of Thessalonica put forth under Theodosius I, the Roman Empire officially adopted Trinitarian Christianity as its state religion, and Christianity established itself as a predominantly Roman religion in the state church of the Roman Empire. Christological debates about the human and divine nature of Jesus consumed the Christian Church for two centuries, and seven ecumenical councils were called to resolve these debates. Arianism was condemned at the First Council of Nicea (325), which supported the Trinitarian doctrine as expounded in the Nicene Creed.

Khabarovsk

Khabarovsk () is a city in Khabarovsk Oblast, Russia.
It has 618,150 people as of 2018.

History 
Khabarovsk is located at the Amur River just below the city's confluence with the Ussuri. Khabarovsk was named after E.P. Khabarov, who made several undertaken journeys to the Amur River basin in the mid-17th century. Khabarovsk was founded in May 31,1858 as a military outpost. Khabarovsk's nodal position at the point at which the Trans-Siberian Railway crosses the Amur River made it an important focus of the Russian Far East, and at one time it administered the entire area to the Bering Strait, which connects Russia and North America. Modern Khabarovsk spreads across a series of small valleys and ridges perpendicular to the Amur.

Khabarovsk has an attractive waterfront park and long area and a mixture of modern apartment blocks, factories, and old, one-story wooden houses. It is a major industrial centre, with most enterprises located in the upstream district. They include large scale engineering and machine-building industries, oil refining, timber working, furniture making, and many light industries.

Economy 
Khabarovsk has an institution of higher education, agricultural, medical, teacher-training, and railway-engineering institutes and several scientific-research establishments.

Tibetan calendar

The Tibetan calendar, or the Tibetan lunar calendar is a calendar based on 12 or 13 phases of the moon, which starts with a new moon, or when the moon is completely dark. A lunar month is added every 2 or 3 years to equal the solar year.

The Tibetan New Years celebration is called Losar. According to almanacs, or yearly calendar with important dates, the year starts with the third Hor month, or the Third Mongolian month.

Every month, certain dates in the calendar are used for Buddhist practices. Similarly, certain months also have importance.

Years 
Years in the Tibetan calendar are similar to the Chinese zodiac, with animals signifying each year. The animals go as follows:

 {| class="wikitable" border="1"
|Hare
|Dragon
|Snake
|Horse
|Sheep
|Monkey
|Bird
|Dog
|Boar
|Rat
|Ox
|Tiger
|}

There are also elements. Each element goes as follows:

 {| class="wikitable" border="1"
|Fire
|Earth
|Iron
|Water
|Wood
|}

Each elements is associated with two years. First as male, and second as female. For example, a male Earth-Dragon year is followed by a female Earth-Snake year, then by a male Iron-Horse year.

During the time of the Tibetan Empire (7th – 9th century), Tibetan months were named according to the four seasons:

 First spring month (dpyid zla ra ba), middle spring month (dpyid zla 'bring po), last spring month (dpyid zla mtha' chung),
 first summer month (dbyar zla ra ba), middle summer month (dbyar zla 'bring po), last summer month (dbyar zla mtha' chung),
 first autumn month (ston zla ra ba), middle autumn month (ston-zla 'bring-po), last autumn month (ston zla mtha' chung),
 first winter month (dgun zla ra ba), middle winter month (dgun-zla 'bring-po) and last winter month (dgun zla mtha' chung).

Since the 12th century, the months were named from the 12 animals in the Chinese zodiac:

 taag (Tiger),
 ye (Hare), 
 'drug (Dragon), 
 drul  (Snake), 
 ta (Horse), 
 lug (Sheep) 
 te (Monkey), 
 tshya (Bird), 
 kyi (Dog), 
 phag (Boar), 
 tshyiwa (Rat) 
 lang (Ox).

With the introduction of the calendar of the "Kalacakratantra" in the second half of the 11th century, months were also named by lunar mansions. Within that, a full moon took place each month:

In the second half of the 13th century, a system was introduced of counting the month by ordinal numbers, also called the Hor month:

Numantia

Numantia (Spanish: Numancia) was an ancient Celtiberian settlement. Its remains are located 7 km north of the city of Soria, on a hill known as Cerro de la Muela in the municipality of Garray.

Numantia is famous for its role in the Celtiberian Wars. It was a city that became famous for its resistance against the Roman armies.

History

Origins 
The first human settlements in Numantia were established in the III millennium BC. Shepherds who made seasonal movements with their flocks inhabited this area. The area had a harsh climate but the pastures were rich.

Towards the 8th century BC., handmade ceramics were used in this settlement. From the 7th century BC., the settlement became a castro. Around 350 BC., Numantia had many inhabitants and was born as a city. 

Roman authors don't agree on the people that lived there. Pliny the Elder believed it was the Pellendones. However, other authors, like Strabo and Ptolemy say in their writings that the city belongs to the Arevaci people.

Roman conquest 
In 153 BC, Numantia had its first serious conflict with Rome.

After 20 years of fighting, in 133 BC, the Roman Senate gave Scipio Aemilianus Africanus the task of destroying Numantia.

After 13 months of siege, the Numantians decided to burn the city before surrendering. The few survivors were sold as slaves. 

Numantia was rebuilt in the time of Augustus. It was repopulated with Celtiberians.

Modern times 
Today, Numancia is an archaeological site in the province of Soria.

It was declared a Bien de Interés Cultural (Site of Cultural Interest) on the 29th August 1882.

This site is being excavated by a group of archaeologists from the Complutense University of Madrid under the direction of Alfredo Jimeno. It receives funds from the Junta de Castile and León.

Since 2007 there is a controversy as the Junta of Castile and León allowed the construction of industrial estate near the ruins. Several institutions have protested against that plan despite the statement from official authorities saying that the remains won't be damaged.

Scipio Aemilianus

Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus Aemilianus (185–129 BC) was a Roman general and statesman. He is commonly called  Scipio Aemilianus, or Scipio the Younger. He became known because he was a successful general in the Third Punic War against Carthage.  He was present, when Carthage was defeated and destroyed. He was also successful in the Numantine War in Spain. He also supported writers and philiosophers, called a patron. The most famous of these people he supported was probably the Greek historian Polybius. In politics, he opposed the populist reform program of his murdered brother-in-law, Tiberius Gracchus.

2021 Cumbre Vieja volcanic eruption

The 2021 Cumbre Vieja volcanic eruption was a volcanic eruption of Cumbre Vieja on the island of La Palma, one of the most active volcanoes in the Canary Islands, Spain. It is the first volcanic eruption on the island since the eruption of Teneguía in 1971. At 85 days, it is the longest known eruption of a volcano on La Palma.

The eruption began at 16:12 UTC on 19 September 2021 in a forested area called Cabeza de Vaca.

An earthquake swarm started on 11 September, which led to the volcanic eruption on 19 September. 

Around 300 people from the local area were evacuated shortly after the eruption.

The eruption led to the evacuation of more than 8,000 people, and the lava has destroyed more than 3,000 buildings. 

It is the most damaging volcanic eruption on La Palma since records began.

Initially, when the eruption started, it had a Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) of 0, when it was a purely lava eruption. But with the ashfall that began a week later, the Volcanic Explosivity Index of the eruption rose to 2.

On 28 September, at around 23:02 UTC, the lava flow reached the sea at the Perdido Beach.

On 20 November, the Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) was upgraded from VEI 2 to VEI 3, when the ashfall reached 10 million m³.

On 12 December, the volcanic eruption broke the local record, when it reached 85 days of continuous activity. The eruption is the longest known eruption of a volcano on La Palma. Previously, the eruption of the Tajuya volcano in 1585 was the longest at 84 days. No reliable data is available about earlier volcanic eruptions, before Spanish colonization of La Palma in the 15th century.

On 13 December, the volcanic eruption stopped. Noting weak seismicity and zero tremor, scientists say that a resumption of the eruption is highly unlikely, giving locals hope that it is over.

On 25 December 2021, after 12 days with no activity from the volcano, the eruption was officially declared to have ended.

Killing of Gabby Petito

Gabrielle Venora Petito (March 19, 1999 –  August 27, 2021) was an American woman from Suffolk County, New York, who was reported missing on September 11, 2021. Her body was found on September 19 in Wyoming with her cause of death being a homicide. Her partner, Brian Laundrie, was the main suspect behind her death. He was found dead on October 20, 2021.

Background
Petito was traveling across the United States with her fiancé. Her family lost contact with her in late August when she was in or near Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming. Her fiancé, Brian Laundrie, is missing and wanted for questioning in her disappearance and death.

Body found
On September 19, 2021, authorities said they found a body that matched what Petito looked like. It was discovered in Bridger–Teton National Forest, Wyoming. Two days later it was confirmed that the remains were Petito's and, based on reports from an autopsy, it was reported that her cause of death was homicide. In October, her death was determined to have occurred three to four weeks before her body was found with the cause being homicide by strangulation.

Brian Laundrie
Police officials are searching for Petito's ex-fiance Brian Laundrie, was missing beginning on September 14. He was the main suspect in her death. On September 22, the Federal Bureau of Investigation issued a warrant for Laundrie's arrest on charges of debit card fraud.

On October 20, Laundrie's remains and some of his belongings were found at a park in North Port, Florida, that had recently been underwater due to flooding.

Recess (TV series)

Recess is an American animated television series created by Paul Germain and Joe Ansolabehere (credited as "Paul and Joe") and produced by Walt Disney Television Animation, with animation done by Grimsaem, Anivision, Plus One Animation, Sunwoo Animation, and Toon City. The series focuses on six elementary school students and their interaction with other classmates and teachers. The title refers to the recess period during the daily schedule, in the North American tradition of educational schooling, when students are not in lessons and are outside in the schoolyard. During recess, the children form their own society, complete with government and a class structure, set against the backdrop of a regular school.

Plot 
Recess portrays the lives of six fourth graders—cheeky and popular lovable rogue Theodore Jasper "T.J." Detweiler (Ross Malinger, Andrew Lawrence), Jock Vince LaSalle (Rickey D'Shon Collins), tomboy Ashley Spinelli (Pamela Adlon), wise fool Mikey Blumberg (Jason Davis), geek Gretchen Grundler (Ashley Johnson), and awkward new kid Gus Griswald (Courtland Mead)—as they go about their daily lives in a school environment at Third Street Elementary School located in Little Rock, Arkansas.[4][5] A major satirical point of the show is that the community of students at school is a microcosm of traditional human society complete with its own government, class system, and set of unwritten laws. They are ruled by a monarch, a sixth grader named King Bob, who has various enforcers to make sure his decrees are carried out. The society has a long list of rigid values and social norms that imposes a high expectation of conformity upon all the students.

Malabar Headland National Park

The Malabar Headland National Park is a national park on the coast of New South Wales, Australia . It is around 13 kilometres southeast of Sydney CBD in the Local Government Area Randwick City near Malabar . With an area of 18 hectares, it is the smallest national park in the state.

Malabar Headland is a headland and has a size of 1.77 km².

Use of the headland 
The area of the headland has been mainly used for agriculture since the European settlement. Later, the Europeans built residential and military buildings and also practiced shooting and equestrian sports on the site. During World War II, Malabar Headland was fortified for military defence purposes. The historic facilities are now a listed building. There is also a large target practice area on the peninsula called the ANZAC Rifle Range, which is still in use today.

Flora and fauna 
On the headland, one of the few areas in the south of Sydney with its original landscape, with a vegetation of different species in the form of Banksia bushes, has largely been preserved. There are also small heathlands and other plants that grow on the sandstone cliffs.

In National Park and on the peninsula a subspecies was a bat (Miniopterus schreibersii oceanensis) demonstrated further grey head flying foxes (Pteropus poliocephalus) pezoporus (Pezoporus wallicus wallicus), sooty oystercatcher (Haematopus fuliginosus) and the high-risk Gold Rosella (Neophema chrysogaster ).

Miscellaneous 
Hiking trails lead through the national park. The Hawkesbury sandstone cliffs drop vertically into the sea for spectacular views.

The national park is administered by the La Perouse Local Aboriginal Land Council .

Laurel and Hardy

Laurel and Hardy were a comedy duo act during the early Classical Hollywood era of American cinema, consisting of Englishman Stan Laurel (1890–1965) and American Oliver Hardy (1892–1957). From the late 1920s to the mid-1940s, they were internationally famous for their slapstick comedy, with Laurel playing the clumsy, childlike friend to Hardy's pompous bully. Their signature theme song, known as "The Cuckoo Song", "Ku-Ku", or "The Dance of the Cuckoos" (by Hollywood composer T. Marvin Hatley) was heard over their films' opening credits, and became as emblematic of them as their bowler hats.

Steve Urkel

Steve Urkel is a fictional character.  He appeared on the ABC/CBS sitcom Family Matters. Actor Jaleel White played him until the show ended in 1997.

Steve Urkel was a breakout character.  That means the original idea was that he would be in only one episode.  But the viewers liked him so much that he became most popular character on the show. He gradually became its main character.

Urkel's annoying manners and silliness cause strange events that move the story forward.  The other characters, the Winslow family, consider him a nuisance, though they come to accept him over time.  Carl Winslow often yells. "Go home, Steve!" Steve answers, "I don't have to take this.  I'm going home."

Steve Urkel wears big red glasses.  He has a high-pitched voice and snorts when he laughs.  He wears his pants too high up on his waist.  He is in love with the oldest Winslow daughter, Laura.  Laura often tells him that she does not like him, but he does not listen.  Many of the episodes of Family Matters are about Urkel trying to convince Laura to be his girlfriend.

He is also one of the smartest students in the school that he goes to with Eddie and Laura Winslow.  He can make inventions that are almost magical.

Sydney Harbour National Park

The Sydney Harbour National Park is a national park in the Australian state of New South Wales. The protection of the park was announced in 1975. Between 1978 to 1984, the area of the park was enlarged several times.

Geography 
The national park is in the middle of metropolitan Sydney with an area of about 3.93 km². This area is spread over various areas around Sydney Harbor and several islands, such as B. Bradleys Head, Middle and Georges Heads, North Head, South Head and Harbour Island.

Vegetation 
About 40 % of the area is taken up by heather areas, which are partially overgrown by natural tree vegetation. About 25 % of the area - especially in protected locations with deep soils - can be described as woodland. Another 15% eucalyptus forests grow.

Wildlife 
In the national park there are mainly nocturnal mammals, including gray-headed flying foxes, large long-nosed bucks, Stuart broad-footed pouches, the golden-bellied swimming rat, cusus, ringbucks, echins and bats.

History 
Long before Australia became a British colony, the area around Sydney Harbor was inhabited by the Aboriginal groups of the Eora, Guringai and Dharug . That changed soon after the arrival of the first European settlers and prisoners. In order to make way for the development of the colony, the Aborigines were pushed further and further from their traditional settlement and hunting areas. Many died of previously unknown diseases such as smallpox or were even killed. Around the middle of the 19th By the mid-19th century, the Aborigines were almost displaced from the Sydney area.
