The title is an equivalent to the title Maharaja. 

"Nawab" usually refers to males. It means Viceroy. The female equivalent is "Begum" or "Nawab Begum". The primary duty of a Nawab was the administration of a certain province.

Similar to a British peerage, The title of "nawabi" was also given to persons and families who ruled a princely state of British India. In some cases, the titles were also given with jagir grants. These were either cash or land-holdings.

Feldherrnhalle

The Feldherrnhalle (Field Marshals' Hall) is a large loggia in Munich, Germany. It was made similar to the Loggia dei Lanzi in Florence, Italy The building was commissioned in 1841 by King Ludwig I of Bavaria. He had it built to honour the tradition of the Bavarian Army.

In 1923, it was the site of the brief battle that ended Hitler's Beer Hall Putsch. During the Nazi era, it was a monument to members of the Nazi party who died there.

Structure
The Feldherrnhalle was built between 1841 and 1844. It was built at the southern end of Munich's Ludwigstrasse. It is next to the Palais Preysing and east of the Hofgarten. Before it was built, the Gothic Schwabinger Tor (gate) was in that place. Friedrich von Gärtner built the Feldherrnhalle> He was requested to do so by King Ludwig I of Bavaria.

The Feldherrnhalle was a symbol of the honours of the Bavarian Army. It included statues of two military leaders; Johann Tilly and Karl Philipp von Wrede. Tilly led Bavarians in the Thirty Years War.  Philipp von Wrede led the fight against Napoleon. The statues were created by Ludwig Schwanthaler.

R
A group by was added to the centre of the monument in 1892, after the Franco-Prussian War it represented the victory over France. The lions were created by Wilhelm von Rümann. They were added in 1906.

Site of the Beer Hall Putsch
The Feldherrnhalle was the scene of a conflict on 9 November 1923. It was between the Bavarian State Police and the followers of Adolf Hitler. This was the end of the Nazis' failed attempt to take over the Bavarian State. That is commonly referred to as the Beer Hall Putsch. In the gun battle, four policemen and fourteen marchers were killed. Many more were wounded, including Hermann Göring.

Nazi memorial

After the Nazis took power in 1933, Hitler turned the Feldherrnhalle into a memorial to the Nazis killed there. A memorial to the killed men was put up on its east side. It is opposite the location of the shootings. This monument was called the Mahnmal der Bewegung. It was designed by Paul Ludwig Troost.  The square in front of the Feldherrnhalle (the Odeonsplatz) was used for SS parades and rallies.  New SS recruits took their oath of loyalty to Hitler in front of the memorial.

After the war
At the end of the war, the Feldherrnhalle was changed back to how it was earlier. Local people smashed the Mahnmal der Bewegung to pieces on 3 June 1945. In the 1950s, a plan to move Bavaria's memorial to the unknown soldier to the Feldherrnhalle was ended. There was concerns that neo-Nazis would meet at the site.

On 25 April 1995, Reinhold Elstner set himself on fire in front of Feldhernhalle. He did this to protest against "the ongoing official slander and demonization of the German people and German soldiers".

Committee Against Torture (UN)

The Committee Against Torture (CAT)  is a group founded by the United Nations (UN). The Committee is a group of human rights experts that watch and supervise the United Nations Convention against Torture. The Committee is one of eight UN-related human rights agreements. All countries that have agreed to the Convention must send regular reports to the Committee on how human rights are being applied. Once a country has approved the Convention, they must send a report to the Committee in one year. After that, they must send a report every four years.

The Committee looks into each report and might tell the country some suggestions on how to improve their human rights. Sometimes, the Committee may think about complaints from people that say that their Convention rights have been broken.

Karna

Karna is the central protagonist of the epic Mahabharata. He is regarded as the hero of the epic Mahabharata. 

Rama and Karna are the most revered in Hindu literature. Often Ramayana and Mahabharata are compared. Just like Ramayana is the story of Rama, Mahabharata is the story of Karna.

Profile
He is the son of the sun god Surya and princess Kunti (mother of the Pandavas), and thus a demigod of royal birth. Kunti was granted the boon to bear a child with desired divine qualities from the gods and without much knowledge, Kunti invoked the sun god to confirm it if it was true indeed. Karna was secretly born to an unmarried Kunti in her teenage, fearing outrage and backlash from society over her premarital pregnancy, Kunti had no choice but to abandon the newly born Karna adrift in a basket on the Ganges, in the hope that he finds foster parents. The basket discovered and Karna is adopted and raised by foster Suta parents named Radha and Adhiratha Nandana of the charioteer and poet profession working for king Dhritarashtra.

Karna grows up to be an accomplished warrior of extraordinary abilities, a gifted speaker and becomes a loyal friend of Duryodhana. He was appointed the king of Anga (Bihar-Bengal) by Duryodhana. Karna joined the Duryodhana's side in the Kurukshetra war. He was a key warrior who aimed to kill 3rd Pandava Arjuna but dies in a battle with him during the war.

He is a tragic hero in the Mahabharata, in a manner similar to Aristotle's literary category of "flawed good man". He meets his biological mother late in the epic, and then discovers that he is the older half-brother of those he is fighting against. Karna is a symbol of someone who is rejected by those who should love him but do not given the circumstances, yet becomes a man of exceptional abilities willing to give his love and life as a loyal friend. His character is developed in the epic to raise and discuss major emotional and dharma (duty, ethics, moral) dilemmas.

Pseudis paradoxa

The paradoxical swimming frog, paradox frog, jackie, jacky, proteus frog, swimming frog, or paradoxical frog (Pseudis paradoxa) is a frog that lives in Colombia, the Guianas, French Guiana, Guyana, Suriname, Bolivia, Trinidad, and Peru.

Most adult frogs are 4.5 to 6.5 cm long from nose to rear end, but some of them can be more than 7.5 cm long.

The skin on the frog's back is green toward the head and front.  It is brown toward the rear end.  It can have three or four brown lines.  The frog's belly is white.

This frog eats insects and smaller frogs.

This frog mates after rain or other wet weather.  The male frogs hide next to plants near the top of the water and sing for females.  The females lay eggs that look like green froth on the top of the water.

If the mother frog lays eggs in a temporary body of water (the kind that dries up), the tadpoles turn into frogs quickly.  If the mother frog lays eggs in a permanent body of water, the tadpoles stay tadpoles for a long time.  These tadpoles grow to huge sizes.

The tadpoles of this frog can grow to be 22.0 cm long, much larger than the adult frogs.  This is one of the largest tadpoles of any frog in the world. It is smaller when it is an adult than when it is a tadpole.

The name "paradox" here means "riddle" or "something backwards." For this frog, it means that the tadpole is larger than the adult.
