Fred Hale

Frederick "Fred" Harold Hale (December 1, 1890 – November 19, 2004) was an American supercentenarian, beekeeper and railway post officer, and at the time of his death the oldest living man. Both of his parents lived to age 91 and his youngest son, Fred Hale Sr, to age 97. He married Flora Mooers, who died in 1979, in 1910, and had two daughters, Muriel (1910–1970) and Carrie (1913–1992) and three sons, Robert (1916–1918) who died in the Spanish flu, Norman (born 1920) and Fred (born 1921). At the time of his death, Hale also had nine grandchildren, nine great-grandchildren and eleven great-great-grandchildren.

At age 95, Hale surfed for the first time in his life in Hawaii during a stop there on the journey back from Japan where he visited his grandson. At age 100, he traveled to Europe along with his son Norman and his daughter-in-law, to visit Norman's location of military service during World War II. At age 108, Hale was recognized by Guinness World Records as the oldest person ever with a driving license, and he believed "bee pollen and honey every day, along with the occasional nip of whiskey" as the secret to a long life. He became the oldest living American man and the third oldest living man in the world (behind Japaneseman Yukichi Chuganji and Joan Riudavets) on February 24, 2003 when 113-year-old John McMorran died of heart failure and over a year later, on March 5, 2004, after 114-year-old Spaniard Joan Riudavets' death, also the oldest man in the world as well as the last living man born before the tenth and last decade of the 19th century (1891–1900).

Hale died of pneumonia on November 19, 2004, just twelve days before his 114th birthday and less than six weeks before his son Norman (who died at age 84 on December 30, 2004), and was (before Puerto Rican man and World War I-veteran Emiliano Mercado del Toro, his successor as the oldest living man, later broke his record) the second-oldest American man ever (after 115-year-old Danish-American Christian Mortensen) and only the fourth oldest man ever (behind Mortensen, Yukichi Chuganji and Joan Riudavets).

Kitab al-Futuh

Kitab al-Futūh () is an important hadith and akhbari collection, compiled by Sayf ibn Umar. It is al-Tabari's main source for the Ridda wars and the early Muslim conquests. It also contains important information on the structure of early Muslim armies and government.

Currently, a facsimile edition of the fragments preserved in the Al-Imam University in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Etymology 
The Arabic word Kitab (), literally means 'book' or 'revelation'. It is derived from the Semitic root K-T-B () which is related to writing. The Arabic definite article al- usually means 'of' or 'the'. Futuh ()  is the plural noun of the Arabic word Fatah () which means 'conquest'.

History 
Sayf ibn Umar, the compiler of the book, was from Kufa and lived in Baghdad. He traveled throughout Iraq during the rule of the Abbasid Caliphate.

Contents 
The book primarily discuss the early Muslim conquests and wars. It also features information about the assassination of the third caliph Uthman. Abdullah ibn Saba and his followers are mentioned in the book as well. The work also contains a brief account, on the authority of Ibn Abbas, of the way in which Paul corrupted Christian doctrines by persuading three of his followers, Yaqūb, Nasṭūr and Malkūn, of the divinity of Īsā (Jesus).

Reliability 
Sayf ibn Umar is considered reliable. W. F. Tucker and Ella Landau-Tasseron note that although Sayf may have been an unscrupulous hadith collector, this should not detract from his general reliability as a transmitter of historical information (akhbārī). Tucker adds that accusations of bias could equally be leveled at other akhbārīs contemporary to Sayf, including the Shi'a historian Abu Mikhnaf. Fuat Sezgin, Albrecht Noth, and Martin Hinds have also challenged Wellhausen's views and placed Sayf on an equal footing with other traditionalists. Linda D. Lau and A. R. Armush also regard Sayf ibn Umar as reliable and accept his accounts and the role of the Saba'iyya at the Battle of the Camel.

2021 Facebook outage

On October 4, 2021, American social network Facebook and its subsidiaries Messenger, Instagram, WhatsApp, Mapillary, and Oculus became globally unavailable. The outage started close to 12:00 pm Eastern Time and lasted around six hours. The reason is known as the loss of IP routes to the Facebook Domain Name System (DNS) servers.

This is believed to have been caused by a problem with Facebook's Border Gateway Protocol. The outage also reportedly broke internal systems used by Facebook employees.

Nephilim

The Nephilim (; ) are mysterious beings or people mentioned in the Hebrew Bible.
They are large and strong; the word Nephilim is loosely translated as giants in some Bibles but left untranslated in others. Some Jews think they were fallen angels.
They are mentioned in Genesis, Numbers and Ezekiel in the Hebrew Bible. People aren't sure who the Nephilim were.

The Biblical book Numbers 13:33 says that they later lived in Canaan at the time that Israel conquered Canaan.

A similar Hebrew term, read as "Nephilim" by some scholars, or as the word "fallen" by others, appears in the Biblical book Ezekiel 32:27.

What are Nephilim
Some people think Nephilim are Giants, others Fallen Angels, others to be the result of angels mating with humans, and some that they descended from the Biblical figures of Seth and Cain.

Brown-Driver-Briggs thought that nephilim are "giants". Robert Baker Girdlestone thought that they are 'those that cause others to fall down'.  Ronald Hendel thinks that it means 'ones who have fallen'.

The majority of ancient biblical translations think they were "giants". Symmachus thought they were "the violent ones" and Aquila thought they were either "the fallen ones" or "the ones falling [upon their enemies]".

Some Jews believe that the Nephilim had children called Elioud. Aramaics think that Nephilim refer to the children of Orion. J. C. Greenfield thinks that the Nephilim is based on bad things in Sumerian beliefs. Early Arabs thought that fallen angels were sent to Earth looking like men, and they mated with humans.

Mentions of Nephilim in the Hebrew Bible
In Genesis 6:4:The Nephilim were in the earth in those days, and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bore children to them; the same were the mighty men that were of old, the men of renown.

In Numbers 13:32–33,:And there we saw the Nephilim, the sons of Anak, who come of the Nephilim; and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.

In Ezekiel 32:27: They lie with the warriors, the Nephilim of old, who descended to Sheol with their weapons of war. They placed their swords beneath their heads and their shields upon their bones, for the terror of the warriors was upon the land of the living.

Idea about nephilim fossils
Cotton Mather thought that fossilized leg bones and teeth discovered near Albany, New York, in 1705, were the remains of Nephilim who died in a great flood, though paleontologists thought they were mastodon remains instead.

Spotless crake

The spotless crake, sooty rail, pūweto, puweto, or putoto (Zapornia tabuensis) is a bird in the family Rallidae. It lives in the Philippines, Australia, New Zealand, other parts of Polynesia, and two subspecies have been found high in the hills in New Guinea.  Scientists do not know much about them because they hide so well.

Appearance

The spotless crake is about half the size of a blackbird.  It is about 20 cm long.  It weighs about 45 g.  It has blue-gray and black feathers.  It has orange-pink legs.  It has a black beak.

Habitat and food
Spotless crakes live in wetlands that have fresh water, not salt water.  They look for food where the plants grow close together.  Sometimes they will walk out on bare mud, but they run back into the plants if they think they are in danger.

The spotless crake eats the seeds of many plants, but it also eats animals without bones, for example beetles and worms.  This bird is crepuscular, which means it looks for food at dawn and dusk.

Breeding
Spotless crakes form one-on-one pairs to lay eggs.  They build nests out of pieces of grass woven together.  The nest is 30-50 cm above the water.  Sometimes they build platforms near the nest.  The female lays 2-5 eggs at a time.  Both the male and female crake sit on the eggs.  The eggs take 20-22 days to hatch. The chicks stay in the nest for about 4 days.  They can catch some of their own food at that age.  Both parents care for the chicks for 4-5 months.

Threats

Human beings change their wetlands into farms.  Introduced species brought by humans can also kill the crake.

Funan

Funan (; ,  ; , Chu Han: ) was an ancient kingdom in Southeast Asia. This kingdom existed from the 1st to the 7th century CE.

General
Most texts written about this subject was written by foreign travelers. As a result, information about this ancient kingdom is often disputed.

Etymology 
George Cœdès thinks that the word Funan came from the word Bnaṃ or Vnaṃ in old Khmer. The modern Khmer word Phnom (meaning mountain or hill) came from this word.  Claude Jacques, however, disputes this theory. He pointed out that there is a wrong translation of the Sanskrit word Parvatabùpála as Bnaṃ. There is no ancient Khmer text found using this word to refer to this kingdom.

There are other explanations on how the word was formed. Claude Jacques believes the Chinese created this name because they likes to add  ("nan") to refer to regions "to the south" (Yunnan, Hainan, ...).

Capital 
The exact location of the capital is not known. The Book of Liang said the capital is 500 li (250 kilometers) from the sea, so it might be in Ba Phnom (Cambodian province of Prey Veng), Angkor Borei (in the Cambodian province of Takeo) or Óc Eo (now in Vietnam).

George Cœdès believes the name of the capital is Vyadhapura (city of hunters) because Angkorian texts described about it. The Book of Tang also recorded the word Témú (old Khmer Dalmāk) which also means hunter. But Michael Vickery disputes this claim because of two reasons. First, the two words have different meaning. The Vyadhapura killed the animal, but the Dalmāk brought the animal home alive. Second, the word Dalmāk appeared for the first time in the ninth or early tenth century, and the word Témú appeared in Chinese texts for the first time in the sixth century (Funan: 1st—7th century).
