Black stilt

The black stilt or kaki (Himantopus novaezelandiae) is a bird in the family Recurvirostridae.  It lives in New Zealand.

Appearance
This bird has black feathers and long legs.

Habitat and food

The black stilt lives next to rivers and lakes, in swamps and by ponds.  It goes to rivers, streams, or swamps to lay eggs.  It goes further inland for the winter.  But because these areas are usually close to each other, scientists do not think of it as a migratory bird.

This bird wades into the water to look for food.

Threats

As of 2021 there were about 170 of these birds alive in the wild.  In 1981, there were only 23 birds.  There are fewer of them because of invasive species, animals that humans brought to New Zealand.  Cats and ferrets kill many stilts, chicks, and eggs.  Human beings also change the places where the birds like to live.  Human beings using the seashore for work or fun can scare the adult birds away from the nests.  They can accidentally kill the chicks or eggs.

The Kakī Recovery Programme keeps some breeding pairs.  They put the eggs in incubators until they hatch.  They raise the chicks by hand until they are too big for cats or ferrets to eat easily.  They also take eggs from wild nests.  That way, predators cannot eat the parents as they sit on the nest.

In some parts of New Zealand, for example Tasman River, human beings try to stop the predators from eating the birds.  It has worked.

Qubo Night Owl

The Qubo Night Owl was a programming block at night that ran from 12AM to 6AM (Eastern Time). Originally the block was similar to Nick at Nite, as it was aimed at adults who grew up on the Filmation slate (He-Man, She-Ra, Ghostbusters, and BraveStarr), with newer shows airing at the tail end. In August 2013, however, the contract for the Filmation shows lapsed and newer acquisitions filled the block. The block suffered network decay (or in this case, "block decay") for most of its run, adding preschool shows and shows for older kids that would be normally seen during the daytime hours as opposed to the undesirable graveyard slots. After five and a half years of abandoning its original focus, the block appeared for the as it was replaced with infomercials the following day, marking the first time the channel has followed the trope of networks airing infomercials during the graveyard hours (even though it was stated in a 2010 sizzle reel that they would never do such a thing, proving further that time does fly by fast in a decade). From the screen bug for Qubo Night Owl only appeared during the midnight hour (when Sidekick, Zoo Clues and Safari Tracks usually aired at the time). As of the Qubo Night Owl screen bug appears again and returned.

Traditionalist theology (Islam)

Traditionalist theology (Arabic: الأثرية‎—al-Aṯharīya) is an Islamic scholarly movement, originating in the late 8th century CE, who reject rationalistic Islamic theology (kalam) in favor of strict textualism in interpreting the Quran and Hadith. The name derives from "tradition" in its technical sense as a translation of the Arabic word athar. It is also sometimes referred to by several other names.

History 
Traditional theology spread in the late eighth century AD among muhaddiths, who regarded the Qur'an and pure hadith as the only acceptable source of law and religion.

Zombie bank

A zombie bank is a special case of a zombie company. It is a financial institution that has a net worth of less than zero. Usually, such companies file for bankruptcy. Like a zombie company, the zombie bank is still able to pay the short-term liabilities (such as the interest on its loans). It doesn't have enough money to repay the loans, though. If the interest rates are low, this will help zombie banks. Zombie banks, like zombie companies can be saved from bankruptcy, but usually they need a large (and costly) reorganization.

The term zombie bank (and zombie company) was first used to refer to a period of Japanese economy, in the 1990s: This period is known as Lost Decades, today.

Site (disambiguation)

A site is a real fixed physical location where something will or has happened or a place where something is.  

Some examples could include places where a building, house, or any other such thing could be located or will/has been located. The noun site describes an area where something is constructed or has occurred, this can be in the past, present or future.

Uses 

It is used very often in building trades to mean the place where a building will go up.  

It can also be of use in a gravesite. It is a place where a person will be buried after they die.   

The term site also has an example in physical work. The physical workwords onsite and offsite refer to work that must take place on the site, or which can take place somewhere else. For instance, a prefabricated building can be "built offsite" and then "moved onsite".

Site is also a common abbreviation in net jargon for "website".  In this case no real physical location exists other than the place where the computers are, and one "goes to the site" simply by using a web browser to "go to" that URL.  This is a conceptual metaphor.  It can be confusing.  Someone who uses it is also likely using other jargon. In a website, things that casually aren't available offline are present online.

Alfhild (Alf and Alfhild)

Alfhild was a daughter of the Geatish king Synardus that lived in modern Sweden. Historians do not know if she was a real person or a legend.  If she did live, it was probably between the 5th and 12th centuries. The earliest piece of writing that talks about her is the Gesta Danorum.

When Alfhild was a young princess, the room she slept in was guarded by a lizard and a snake. These reptiles scared away suitors who were not brave. A Danish prince named Alf, who was also Geatish, came to Geatland and fought the animal guards and won. But Alfhild's mother told her to run away from Alf dressed as a man.  She did, and she became a woman fighter called a shield maiden. 

She found a group of pirate ships that had lost their captain. She became the captain and made the other women part of the sailing crew. The crew doubled in number.

She was so good at piracy that she hurt a large part of the Danish and  Finnish shipping economy. She also sailed to Iceland once. Prince Alf then went to stop the fleet.  At that time, he did not know that Alfhild was pirate leader. He found them off the coast of Finland. 

In the original story, Alfhild killed Alf, the latter underestimating the fleet's power, and then put his head on a spear and continued pirating. People know this from Norse hearsay in dining halls. 

In Christian story, she knocked off his helmet. This made her recognize him, and she stopped pirating and married Alf. She then became queen of Denmark. This version is probably wrong: It agreed with the things Christianity and patriarchy saw as good.

In popular culture 
There are some differences in the story in later popular culture. Here Alfhild is almost always called Awilda. (Other spellings: Alwilda, Alvilda, Alvild, Alvilde, Alfhilda, Avilda, Alvida, Altilda, Ælfhild).

During the 1800s, Alfhild/Awilda was a popular subject for scrimshaw carved by sailors on whaling ships.

The story about Alf And Alfhild has also been made into Italian operas.

In 1686, "L'Amazzone Corsara, ovvero L'Alvilda, regina de Goti", by Carlo Pallavicino.

Women's empowerment

Women's Empowerment or Women Empowering is the process of giving women more power. It improves women's sense of self importance. It also improves the ability to decide about their lives themselves. This makes them to stand on their own feet. It also includes giving women legal rights to change their societies. Many developing and developed countries are talking about women's empowerment more. Empowering women economically make them to have their own jobs and incomes.  Then they can manage their own resources and wealth. This helps them plan for many risks in life. It also helps to improve their well-being socially, mentally, and physically. 

Gender equality and women empowerment are two things that always go together.

There are many ideas for women's empowerment. There are seven well known purposes of the process. These are:

 Establishment of the high level collective leadership for gender equality.
 Equal treatment of men and women, along with respect and no discrimination or bias.
 To make sure of the health, safety and well-being of both men and women workers. 
 Encouragement and development of women's education and access to the jobs.
 Applying for the development of companies and marketing practices. 
 Encouraging the equality of rights through massive awareness and proper backing. 
 Looking at the projects meant to make men and women more equal and telling the public whether or not they worked and by how much.

Currently, people want to strengthen women empowerment. It is increasing day by day, across the globe. It is to remove the current situation on bad treatment of females and gender bias. According to a report from the United Nations (UN), around 750 million women and girls were married before being eighteen years old. And in another report, around 250 million women have undergone Female genital mutilation (FGM) across the world.

Women hold more than 30 percent of seats in national parliament in at least one chamber[which country?]. It is one of the positive results of the dedicated efforts of women empowerment projects around the world.

Murder-suicide

A murder-suicide (or murder suicide) is a setting where a person first kills one or more people, and then commits suicide. This can happen in different ways: The person might do a suicide attack, where he or she kills himself or herself, and in the process kills other people as well. People might also kill themselves after killing other people, to escape state prosecution, or because they believe they are guilty, and deserve to die. 

Many school shootings are murder-suicides. Different religious groups have also decided to die together: The Order of the Solar Temple has become known for a few of these events, in 1994 and 1995. Heaven's Gate was an UFO religion, which committed suicide together in 1997. In the case of the  Movement for the Restoration of the Ten Commandments of God it isn't clear if their deaths in the 2000s were mass suicides, or a mass murder: Some of the victims had stab wounds, while others had been strangled.

Polygenic

Polygenic is a common adjective in genetics. It means "many genes". It is used when a genetic character (phenotypic trait) depends on more than one gene. 

It is very common and normal for a person's weight, for example, to depend on many causes, both genetic (inherited) and non-genetic (e.g. way of life). Here the use of polygenic means that various genes influence the weight of a person, as well as the non-genetic factors (life-style). The branch of genetics which studies polygenes is called quantitative genetics.
