Una Mae Carlisle

Una Mae Carlisle (December 26, 1915 – November 7, 1956) was an American jazz singer-songwriter and pianist.

When Carlisle was still a child, she performed often on WHIO (AM) in Dayton, Ohio.

In 1932, when Carlisle was still in her teens, Fats Waller discovered her while she was a Cincinnati, Ohio performer. Her piano style was influenced by Waller's. She incorporated humor into her sets.

Carlisle played by herself starting in 1937. Late in the 1930s, she toured Europe repeatedly and recorded with Waller.

In the 1940s, Carlisle recorded as a leader with Bluebird Records.

Carlisle also saw success as a songwriter. Her 1941 song, "Walkin' by the River", made her the first black woman to have a composition on any United States' Billboard chart. She had her own radio show The Una Mae Carlisle Radio Show on WJZ-ABC. That made her "the first Black American to host a national radio show." Later in the 1940s, Carlisle hosted several television programs.

Carlisle was born in Zanesville, Ohio. She died from pneumonia at the age of 40 in Harlem, New York City.

Bezonvaux is a commune. It is in Grand Est in the Meuse department in northeast France.

History 
Nobody has lived here since the end of the Battle of Verdun in 1916. The official population is zero. Nobody lives in these places either: Beaumont-en-Verdunois, Haumont-près-Samogneux, Louvemont-Côte-du-Poivre, Cumières-le-Mort-Homme and Fleury-devant-Douaumont.

During the war, the town was completely destroyed. The land was so badly damaged that it was hard to live there. So, the commune was not rebuilt. The site of the commune is kept as it was to show the violence of war. It is officially named a "village that died for France." A municipal council of three members manages the commune. The council members are appointed by the prefect of the Meuse department.

Ratatoskr

In Norse mythology, Ratatoskr is a squirrel that lives on the tree Yggdrasil. Ratatosk  carries messages between the eagle at the top of  Yggdrasil, and the serpent Níðhöggr, at the bottom. Ratatoskr occurs both in the Poetic Edda and the Prose Edda. The Poetic Edda is a collection of earlier stories. It was written in the 13th century. The Prose Edda was also written in the 13th century.

Attestations

In the Poetic Edda poem Grímnismál, the god Odin (disguised as Grímnir) says that Ratatoskr runs up and down Yggdrasil bringing messages between the eagle perched atop it and Níðhöggr below it:

Ratatoskr is described in the Prose Eddas Gylfaginning chapter 16, in which High states that

An eagle sits at the top of the ash, and it has knowledge of many things. Between its eyes sits the hawk called Vedrfolnir [...]. The squirrel called Ratatosk [...] runs up and down the ash. He tells slanderous gossip, provoking the eagle and Nidhogg.

Microkini

A micro bikini (or microkini) is a bikini, a bathing suit for women. Like a bikini, it is made of two parts, a top, and a slip. The slip usually only covers the labiae, the top only covers the nipples. Microkinis were developed in the 1970s, as a reaction that nudism was outlawed in many parts of the United States. Many microkini models are transparent. They usually do not cover the buttocks. There are versions which are just made of straps of fabric which cover almost nothing. Before wearing a micro bikini, women usually shave at least part of their pubic hair.

Pasties can be seen as a variant of a microkini: Unlike a top, which is made of fabric, pasties are made of plastic; they are not kept in place with cords.

Channel U

Channel U (later known as Channel AKA) was a British digital satellite TV music channel founded by Darren Platt that focused on the British grime music scene which ran from February 2003 to June 2018.

Channel U was the biggest channel, not only for musicians who are already known, but also for those who were just starting out, helping them gain fans. It helped artists such as Tinchy Stryder, Tinie Tempah, Dizzee Rascal, Chip, Wretch 32, Devlin, and N-Dubz. Its content included "crude productions shot with handheld digital video cameras," and helped new musicians attract attention and build a fan base.  According to its website, "the aim of the channel was to highlight to the public, the raw and unsigned talent we have in the UK, and give them a platform from which they could perform," and it has been successful in doing so, as implied by the production and popularity of such compilation CDs as Channel U: The Album.

Thatgamecompany

Thatgamecompany, Inc. is an American independent video game development company founded by students Jenova Chen and Kelle Santiago in 2006.

History 
In late 2005, Jenova Chen and Kellee Santiago, students of  the Interactive Media Program at the University of Southern California's School of Cinematic Arts, began thinking about creating their own video game company. The two  had just released a video game—Cloud—that they had developed with several other students. The game was a success. This circumstance allowed students to think about creating their own company. The games should evoke emotions in players.    

Digital distribution was popularity at the time. The two saw it as opportunity to create games without financial risk of retail distribution.  Thatgamecompany was founded on May 15, 2006, as Chen and Santiago finished their master's degrees. The company soon signed a deal with Sony Computer Entertainment, which had been impressed by Chen's Flash game Flow.

Shoosmiths

Shoosmiths LLP was originally a Northampton firm, founded in 1845.  Once known for its out of town bases in locations such as the Solent and Milton Keynes, it has been expanding strategically, most recently in 2012 with a merger with a Scottish firm, Archibald Campbell & Harley (now ACH Shoosmiths), and in 2016 with new offices in city centre hub site such as Leeds and Belfast. The firm has a presence in every jurisdiction of the UK across its 11 offices. 

Shoosmiths LLP is unusual among its UK law firm peer group for steering its path towards rapidly expanding its UK footprint to become one of today’s most ‘national’ firms, largely through organic growth, rather than by mega-merger.
Oath Keepers

The Oath Keepers are an American far-right and anti-government militia organization. They are made of military, police and first responders. They pledge to fulfill an oath that all military and police take in order to "defend the Consitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic". It encourages its members to go against orders which would violate the United States Constitution. The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) has estimated the group's membership at several thousand.

Several organizations that monitor domestic terrorism in the United States and hate groups call the Oath Keepers extremist or radical. The FBI describes the Oath Keepers as a "paramilitary" organization. They also say the Oath Keepers are "a large and loosely organized collection of militia who believe that the federal government has been coopted by a shadowy conspiracy that is trying to strip American citizens of their rights".

The Oath Keepers were present and wearing combat uniforms in Ferguson, Missouri during the 2014 and 2015 unrest in the city. Members of the group were indicted on conspiracy charges for staging a planned mission during the 2021 storming of the United States Capitol.

Elmer Stewart Rhodes founded the Oath Keepers in March 2009. The Southern Poverty Law Center lists Rhodes as an extremist.

Antiziganism

Antiziganism or antigypsyism, is fear and hatred of Romani people.  There has been antiziganism in Europe since at least 1300 c.e.

The Romani people are discriminated against and even murdered in many countries. In the 1500s through 1700s, Romani men could be hanged without a trial in many countries.

Harmful untrue information against the Romani people is spread worldwide. Unfortunately, the Romani people are blamed for many things by other peoples. As example, dubious sources claimed, that Talat Pasha who belogend to the Turks from Bulgaria, have been the son of a Romani mother and a Pomak father, which is simply not true. He had nothing to do with the Romani people from Bulgaria. This is done, to deny his turkish origins and to blame the Romani people.

Early 1990s recession in the United States

The United States entered recession in 1990. It lasted eight months until March 1991. The recession was mild compared to other recessions post-World War II. However, it was marked by a substandard recovery, also called a jobless recovery. Unemployment continued to rise until June 1992 even though a positive economic growth had returned the year before.

July 1990 was the end of what was then the longest peacetime expansion in United States history. The United States had major job growth and declining unemployment before the 1990s recession. The hardest hit regions were New England and the West Coast of the United States. The Midwest was less affected.

Job losses and unemployment kept rising and hit 7.8% in June 1992. 

Other factors led to a slow economy. The factors included a dip in office construction due to too much building in the 1980s. Local markets in New England, Texas and Southern California went through the effects of too much commercial building.

Lesbian bar

The lesbian bar (also called a dyke bar or women's bar) is a Bar for lesbians. The lesbian bar has a history different from gay bars.

Lesbian bars existed before queer community centers, health care centers and coffee shops. For a long time, lesbian bars were places of community and validation.

Women were historically barred from public spaces having alcoholic drinks. The women's saloon presence rose in the 1920s. Mona's 440 Club was the first lesbian bar in the United States. In the 1950s, bars began opening for working class lesbians, Caucasian or African American. Because of not enough economic capital and segregation, house parties were popular with the black lesbians.

Lesbian and gay identification and bar culture increased with the migration and passing through of people in big cities during and after World War II. In the 1970s, lesbian feminism began. Bars became important community activist spaces.
