Peranakan
The first Baba-Nyonya originated, from the 15th century, from marriages between Chinese merchants and Malay or Indonesian women.
The Baba-Nyonya partly adopted Malay customs in order to integrate into local communities. During British rule, they acquired a strong influence in the Straits colonies and were even nicknamed the King's Chinese.
Today, their particular identity tends to fade slowly, the younger generation adopting a more standardised Chinese culture.
In Java, Indonesia, the term Peranakan designates the mixed Chinese communities of locals from the cities of Pasisir (north coast of the island). In the Indonesian context, their outward characteristics fadesd all the more as the Indonesians categorized as Chinese properly speaking were forced, during the Soeharto regime (1966-98), to hide outward traces of their identity.
At various times and for various reasons, the Peranakan migrated extensively within the Nusantara region, between Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore. This has resulted in a greater homogeneity of this population. The Peranakan culture is losing its positions and its popularity. Due to the political motives of the countries, the Peranakans of Malaysia and Singapore are increasingly approaching the culture of the Chinese on the mainland. At the same time, the Peranakans of Indonesia, due to the long ban on the Chinese language and the persecution of the Chinese during the reign of Suharto, are increasingly losing their native culture.
Baba and Peranakan Chinese speak a Malay creole, "Baba Malay", a mixture of English, Malay and Hokkien (a Chinese dialect).
Migrations to neighboring countries led to the emergence of small Peranakan communities in Vietnam and Australia.

Balto-Slavic languages
The Balto-Slavic language group is a hypothetical group made up of the Baltic and Slavic languages. They are part of this family group because it is claimed by some Germanic and Slavic linguists that these two language groups share some similarities involving the linguistic traits of the two language families. However, these claims are not universally accepted. Some scholars claim they are two different decendants of the wider Proto-Indo-European (PIE) langauge family. The Balto-Slavic languages are mainly spoken in areas of eastern, northern and southern parts of Europe. The Balto-Slavic languages are daughter languages of the now extinct PIE. There are only two Baltic languages spoken today: Lithuanian and Latvian.

Prairie restoration
Prairie restoration is a type of habitat conservation, for prairies and habitats that lived alongside prairies. It is the act of restoring land that was once native prairie to how it once was. In North America this is usually defined as pre-settlement, meaning before Europeans arrived. Much of this land is good for farming and has been plowed for planting crops or turned into pastures. In Illinois, there was once 22 million acres (9 million hectares), now there are less than 2300 acres (920 hectares) of high-quality original prairie remaining.
Invasive plants and trees
Invasive species are a big problem with prairies. Since fires cannot burn freely, many new species are taking over, and preventing sunlight from reaching shorter plants. In the United States, European buckthorn is a common problem. Garlic mustard is another. Often areas that once held a hundred different species of plants now only has three or four species.

Klaus Ebner
Klaus Ebner (born August 8, 1964) is an Austrian writer of short stories, essays and poetry, and a translator. Born and raised in Vienna, he began writing at an early age. He started sending in stories to magazines in the 1980s, and also published articles and books about computer software after 1989. Ebner's poetry is written in German and Catalan. He is a member of several Austrian writers associations, including the Grazer Autorenversammlung.
Biography
After school, Klaus Ebner has begun to write short stories, poetry and radio dramas. He usually published them in magazines of literature and culture. After the year 2004, he published literary texts much more often. Today, Klaus Ebner is an author of fiction (novels, short stories), essays and poems. He writes poetry in German and Catalan. Supported by the Austrian government, he went to Andorra in 2007 and wrote an essay about the country in the Pyrenees.
In 2007, Ebner's poem "a paperman and sick" became one of the Mentioned Poems at the International Poetry Prize Nosside. The jury spoke about the "sadness in big cities", which would be represented in the poem by a paperman whose "meal consists of loneliness". The English translation of the poem goes as follows:
In 2008 Klaus Ebner got the Wiener Werkstattpreis of 2007. The winning short story Der Flügel Last (The Burden of the Wings) shows a seven year old girl who has cancer. The story is told as if the girl would tell it herself. In the winning essay ''Was blieb vom Weißen Ritter? (What do we still have of the White Knight?), the reader learns about the novel from the Middle Ages Tirant lo Blanch'' by Joanot Martorell from Valencia. The author mixed his own reading experience with information from history and literature.
Klaus Ebner is a member of the Austrian Writers' Associations Grazer Autorenversammlung (GAV) and Österreichischer Schriftstellerverband (ÖSV).
Style of writing
Ebner's short stories have many different topics, which, as critic Julia Rafael says, include actual and socially relevant problems. She describes the stories included in the anthology Lose as "somewhat imploding" and says that "phantasms, irony and humor have their place, too". Ebner's metaphors have been described as "going beyond reality without losing ground". The journalist Paul C. Jezek said, Ebner's writing style is characterized by very carefully chosen wording. Each sentence has a melody; his short prose especially sounds lyrical. Jezek compares Ebner's sentences to "Japanese paintings – every word has been chosen with special care". Austrian writer and critic Wolfgang Ratz made a similar observation, underlining "the accurateness of Ebner's speech" and "his love for formal details", while pinpointing the sarcastic undertone of the critical stories.

Operation Blitz
Operation Blitz was a military operation carried out by Pakistan, a country in Asia, in the early 1970s. This operation, also known as Operation Searchlight, started fighting between Pakistan and what is now the country of Bangladesh. Operation Bltiz was an important event that happened before the Bangladeshi War of Independence. <!-- The origins of Operation Blitz can be traced back to the 1970 general elections in Pakistan. The Awami League, led by Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, won a landslide victory in East Pakistan, which fueled demands for greater autonomy and eventually led to calls for an independent state. However, the West Pakistani establishment, fearing the loss of control and unwilling to accept the democratic mandate of the East, launched Operation Blitz on the night of March 25, 1971.

Operation Blitz
Under the guise of restoring law and order, the Pakistani military initiated a massive operation targeting political dissidents, intellectuals, and Bengali nationalists. The operation aimed to suppress the growing movement for autonomy and independence in East Pakistan. Troops were deployed throughout the region, and a systematic campaign of violence, torture, and mass killings was unleashed on the population.
James Rothman
Rothman worked at Columbia University and a research professor at the UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology, University College London.
Operation Blitz
The brutal tactics employed by the Pakistani military in Operation Blitz drew international condemnation. As news of the atrocities reached the international community, global public opinion turned against Pakistan. Human rights organizations, journalists, and activists exposed the violence and called for action to end the bloodshed.

Operation Blitz
The military crackdown, however, had unintended consequences. It galvanized the resistance movement in East Pakistan and led to the formation of the Mukti Bahini, a guerrilla force fighting for independence. The Bengali people, who had initially sought greater autonomy, were now united in their struggle for complete liberation from West Pakistan.
After nine months of intense fighting, Pakistan finally surrendered to the combined forces of the Mukti Bahini and the Indian Army on December 16, 1971. The independent nation of Bangladesh was born, marking the end of Operation Blitz and the beginning of a new chapter in the region's history.
Operation Blitz remains a dark chapter in Pakistan's history, symbolizing the devastating consequences of political repression and the struggle for self-determination. The operation's impact continues to resonate, reminding the world of the importance of safeguarding human rights, promoting democracy, and preventing such atrocities from occurring in the future. -->

Peter Pears
Sir Peter Neville Luard Pears (22 June 1910 – 3 April 1986), was an English tenor and life-long partner of the composer Benjamin Britten.
Education
Pears was at school at Lancing College. He then studied music at Keble College, Oxford. He was organist at Hertford College, Oxford but left Oxford without taking his degree. He later studied singing for two terms at the Royal College of Music.
Music
He met Britten in 1934, when he was a member of the BBC Singers. Pears and Britten gave their first recital together in 1937 at Balliol College, Oxford. In 1939 they went to America together because of World War II. However, in 1942 they decided to return to their own country. Back in England they performed Britten's song cycle Seven Sonnets of Michelangelo together at the Wigmore Hall in London (Britten was an excellent pianist), and then recorded them for EMI, their first recording together.
Peter Pears was a great inspiration for Britten’s vocal writing. Many of Britten's operas have a main tenor role which was written for Pears to sing. Britten also wrote over 100 songs with piano accompaniment. Britten also wrote works for tenor and orchestra. These include Les Illuminations, Nocturne, the Serenade for Tenor, Horn and Strings and the Canticles. In Britten’s operas he sang Peter Grimes and Albert Herring (title roles), The Beggar's Opera (Macheath), Owen Wingrave (Sir Philip Wingrave), Billy Budd (Captain Vere), The Turn of the Screw (Quint), Death in Venice (Aschenbach) and the three Church Parables.
Pears helped to write the words for A Midsummer Night's Dream, based on the Shakespeare play. In most of Britten’s operas Pears sang serious roles, but in A Midsummer Night’s Dream he had a comic role: the part of Flute the Bellowsmender. In this role he was dressed up as a female and did a parody of the great opera singer Joan Sutherland singing the mad scene from Lucia di Lammermoor .
Pears’s voice was a lyrical tenor, not a heavy, operatic one. Britten was extremely skilful in writing music for him which suited his voice very well. He sang regularly at the Royal Opera House and many other opera houses in Europe and the United States.
He was also a great singer of Franz Schubert's Lieder, usually with Britten as accompanist, and he often sang the part of the Evangelist in Johann Sebastian Bach's Passions.
His last great role written for him by Britten was as Aschenbach in Death in Venice. He sang this in 1973 at the Aldeburgh Festival, and the following year in the Royal Opera House. Britten by then had heart disease and was too ill to go to the performances, dying in 1976.
Pears continued to live in the Red House, Aldeburgh. After he retired from performing he continued to teach young singers at the Britten-Pears Foundation. He was awarded a CBE in 1955 and knighted in 1977.
Death
In his last years Pears also suffered from heart disease. He died ten years after Britten. He is buried next to him in the churchyard of Saint Peter and Saint Paul's Church in Aldeburgh.
