Emperor Kōrei
Traditional history
Some scholars question the existence of the first nine emperors. These critics consider Kōrei's great-grandson (Emperor Sujin) to be the earliest to have actually existed.
Events of Kōrei's life
The absence of information about Kōrei does not imply that no such person ever existed. Very little information is available for study prior to the reign of the 29th monarch, Emperor Kimmei.
The Kojiki notes that it was during Kōrei's reign that Kibi Province was conquered.
After his death
This emperor's official name after his death (his posthumous name) was regularized many centuries after the lifetime which was ascribed to Kōrei.
The actual site of his grave is not known. According to the Imperial Household Agency, this emperor is venerated at a memorial Shinto shrine (misasagi) at Nara.

Commercial sexual exploitation of children
Commercial sexual exploitiation of chidren is when children are forced to do certain sex acts, and someone makes money from this. There are different forms:
According to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), roughly one out of every five girls and one out of every ten boys will be sexually exploited or abused before they become an adult.
Kwaak Taanba
Kwaak Taanba or Kwaak Jatra or Loidam Kumsaba (literally, "Crow freeing festival") is a traditional festival celebrated by the Meitei ethnicity, in which the King of Manipur sets a crow free from bondage. The event is observed in the 10th lunar day of the "Langban" month of the Meitei calendar (Manipuri calendar). The festival is accompanied with various ceremonial rites and rituals, music and dance performances in the Sana Konung, the Royal Residence of the royalties of Manipur.
Sanamahi Ahong Khong Chingba
Sanamahi Ahong Khong Chingba or Sanamahi Cheng Hongba is a religious grand chariot pulling festival dedicated to Lainingthou Sanamahi, a primordial deity of Sanamahism, mainly celebrated by the Meitei ethnicity. Its main venue is Imphal, the metropolis of Manipur. Notably, the festival was banned for three and a half consecutive centuries due to forcible Hindu advent in the society of the Meitei people, with the imperial powers of Pamheiba, the then King of Manipur. The ancient cultural practice was revived in the year 2018 AD with the strong efforts of the volunteers of Meitei ethnicity.
Famous (Kanye West song)
Famous is a hip-hop song by American rapper Kanye West. It is the lead single in his seventh studio album, The Life of Pablo. The song also features vocals from Barbadian singer Rihanna. This song has been a part of the Kanye West-Taylor Swift feud, as it contains these lyrics that insult American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift because of West's interruption of Swift's 2009 MTV Video Music Awards and the aftermath: For all my South Side niggas that know me best I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex Why? I made that bitch famous (Goddamn!) I made that bitch famous.
Baker Mayfield
Baker Mayfield is an American football player for the NFL. He selected 1st overall by the Cleveland Browns in 2018 and is their current starting quarterback. Before that, he played college football at Texas Tech University before he moved on to Oklahoma University, where won the Heisman Trophy, which is an award for the most outstanding college football player in the nation.
In his first year, Mayfield broke a record for most touchdown passes by a rookie and also helped the Browns rebound from a very bad season the previous year. In 2020, he helped Cleveland make the playoffs for the first time since 2002, and they also won a playoff game. However, after Mayfield struggled with injuries in 2021 and did not get along with new coach Kevin Stefanski, the Browns traded for embattled quarterback Deshaun Watson, all but marking the end of Mayfield's time in Cleveland. Mayfield himself was traded to the Carolina Panthers before the 2022 season.
Early years
Mayfield was born on April 14, 1995 in Austin, Texas to James and Gina Mayfield and has two brothers. He played high school football for Lake Travis High School and grew up a fan of Oklahoma. Mayfield's father James played football for the University of Houston and eventually became a businessman focusing on private equity. The Mayfield family was well off until they ran into hard times during Baker's last year of high school, when they had to sell their house.
Texas Tech
Mayfield first decided to enroll at Texas Tech University after finishing high school. He signed up for their football team as a walk-on, and eventually became their starting quarterback that year. He did well for the first few games before he got hurt and was benched for Davis Webb.
Oklahoma
Mayfield transferred to Oklahoma after his first year, as he believed his treatment at Texas Tech was not fair. Because of rules for transfer students, Mayfield would have to sit out for one year in 2014 before being able to play for Oklahoma in 2015. This sparked a debate and eventually led to the creation of the "Baker Mayfield rule", which allows walk-on players to play immediately after transferring to another school in the same conference.
After winning the competition for starting quarterback from previous starter Trevor Knight in 2015, Mayfield passed for over 3,700 yards and averaged almost 40 passing touchdowns in all three years he was Oklahoma's quarterback. He finished near the top in Heisman Trophy voting before winning it in his senior year. Oklahoma would also win the Big 12 Conference championship in all three years, also making it to the Sugar Bowl in 2016 and the Rose Bowl in 2017.
Willie K
William Awihilima Kahaiali'i, known as Willie K, (1961 – May 19, 2020) was an American singer-songwriter, musician and record producer. His music genres were blues, rock, Hawaiian, and opera. He was born in Lahaina, Maui.
Religion in North Macedonia
Orthodox Church today is far as well as the predominant religion of North Macedonia, with the majority of Macedonians adhere to the Macedonian Orthodox Church. Approximately 63% of the population of North Macedonia are Orthodox Christians.
The Ashes
The Ashes is the symbol of international cricket matches played between England and Australia. The Ashes were supposedly what remained of English cricket after the Australians had beaten them in the first test match played in England.
Willie K
In February 2018, Willie K was diagnosed with lung cancer. In April 2019, Willie announced that it was terminal. He died a month later on 19 May 2020, aged 59.
The Ashes
The name comes from a small pot (known as an "urn") of ashes, which was made and presented to the England captain in 1882. It was based on a joke printed in The Sporting Times, an English newspaper. Someone placed an advertisement in the pages of the paper, describing how English cricket had died and its body had been cremated.
Religion in North Macedonia
By 2020, Orthodox Christianity will fall about 53.7%, Muslims will increase to 43.6%, and other Christian domination will be 1%, Irreligious will be 1.3%, and other religions will make 0.4%.
Exponent
In mathematics, an exponent indicates how many copies of a number (known as the base) is multiplied together.
For example, in the number 5^4, 5 is the base and 4 is the exponent. This can be read as "5 to the power of 4". Therefore, in this example, four copies of 5 are multiplied together, which means that.
In general, given two numbers x and y, the number x^y can be read as "x raised to the power of y" or "x to the yth power", where y is the exponent.
Similarly, bases raised to the power of three, x^3, can be called the base "cubed", because the area of a cube with a side length of x is x^3.
Exponents are used in algebra. Exponentiation is a way of shortening the process/equation of repeatedly multiplying many copies of a number.
An exponent is a number or symbol, placed above and to the right of the expression to which it applies, that indicates the number of times the expression is used as a factor. For example. the exponent x in (a + b)^x indicates x copies of (a + b) are multiplied together.
There are some basic rules used in exponentiation
1. Product Rule:
Proof - When multiplying a base term by two different exponents, there are m number of a' s and n number of a 's.
Since exponentiation is simply repeated multiplication of a base term, we get that:
therefore.
2. Quotient Rule:
Proof (when m > n) -
By grouping the corresponding a’s, we get:
Since corresponding a’s become 1, we are then left with
For example,. Notice that, which confirms the proof.
In fact, this property holds when m < n as well, but in that case, we get negative exponents instead. When m < n, the format of the problem becomes.
Proof: we showed in #1 that.
This equation holds true for b^0 as well, so
If this statement is true where, then b^0 must equal one. That is:
Negative exponents
A negative exponent is the reciprocal of a number with a positive exponent which can be mathematically represented as In the same way that regular exponents are considered repeated multiplication, negative exponents can be considered repeated division.
Negative exponents can also be different from -1. In this case the negative exponent can be separated from the positive exponent, so
The formula for a negative exponent in terms of a whole number exponent is There are more than one ways to prove this. The first proof involves a pattern form. It is not always a good idea to use patterns because in cases like exponents they may not be complete patterns for every case, but the proof still holds.
Proof #1: Why is  ?
divide both sides by b^x
The second proof proves exactly the same thing but dives further into matching equalities
everything in the next row is proved by the rules in the exponent section
therefore
If we also have a multiplication, like in 2x^{-a}, it would be written as
Complex exponentiation
A complex number can also be taken to the power of another complex number. The relationship between imaginary numbers and trigonometry, which produces the multiplication formula
This formula basically states that the multiplication of complex numbers is related to addition of angles.
There are some relationships between functions and “infinite degree polynomials”, that are called series representations of the functions. The important series representations that we will focus on are:
From these representations, you should notice that the terms of the sine and cosine series combine, along with some sign changes, to make the exponential series. By introducing the number i into the equation, we get
This result is often used as the beginning of the definition for complex number exponents.
There are some cases where we are raising other numbers to the power i. For example, we can use the following relationship. Here using base 2 and exponent i, we get
We can rewrite the a + bi in the trigonometric form.
By the relationship we found between trigonometry and complex exponent, we can rewrite the equation in complex exponential form, re^{iP}.
Substituting this equation in the exponent in our original equation, we get
This can be simplified to be
The real and imaginary parts of the exponent can be simplified separately to obtain to result
Because there are many ways to describe the angle P, this formula can give many answers. If we allow the variable P to vary by multiples of 2 \pi, we get the final result
Moresnet
Moresnet or Neutral Moresnet (Neŭtra Moresneto) was a very small territory that existed from 1816 to 1919. It had a size of 3.5 km². It existed because its neighbours could not agree on who should own it, so they decided to make it a neutral territory where both neighbours would both have power. It was 7 km Southwest of Aix-la-Chapelle (Germany), and south of the points were the borders of Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands come together on the Vaalserberg. The Inhabitants was Germans, Flemish, Walloons and Dutchs.
Rise
At the Congress of Vienna in 1815 many borders and countries changed. One of the borders was the one between the new United Kingdom of the Netherlands and Prussia. For the most part Prussia and the Netherlands agreed on the border, because it was mostly the same as the old border. Around Moresnet there was a problem. Between the villages of Moresnet and Neu-Moresnet was the zinc mine of Vieille Montagne (in French) / Altenberg (in German). Both countries wanted to have this mine. In 1816 it was decided that the village of Moresnet itself would become part of the Netherlands, Neu-Moresnet would become part of Prussia and the mine and the village of Kelmis around it would become neutral territory where both countries shared the power.
Neutral Moresnet was shaped more or less like a triangle. The southern border was the road between Aix-la-Chapelle and Liège. The mine was just to the north of this road. The most northerly point of the country was the Vaalserberg. When Belgium became independent from the Netherlands in 1830, the land on the Dutch side became Belgian. So from 1830 Belgium and Prussia were in power in Moresnet. At first Moresnet was governed by two royal commissioners, one from each neighbour. Later Moresnet got its own rulers: a mayor and a council of ten members were installed. The mayor was the Head of State, he was appointed by the council.
Most people in Moresnet worked in the zinc mine. Many people from the neighbouring countries also worked in the zinc mine. Because Moresnet was neutral, there were very low taxes and there were no import-tariffs (like in Andorra now). The people from Moresnet were allowed to choose in which army they wanted to serve, but they were not allowed to have their own army.
Fall
The mine was exhausted by 1885, so people from Moresnet had to find a new way to find money. Some wanted to start a casino, or issue their own stamps. Dr. Wilhelm Molly, wanted to change Moresnet into a country where everyone would speak Esperanto. He wanted to name the country Amikejo ("place of friendship"). None of these plans succeeded. Belgium and Prussia (which became a part of Germany in 1871) both wanted to take over the territory. In 1914, in the First World War, Germany invaded Belgium and occupied Moresnet. In 1915 they officially annexed it, so Neutral Moresnet did not exist any more.
In 1919, after the war, in the Treaty of Versailles it was decided that Moresnet would become part of Belgium. From 1940 to 1944, during World War II, Moresnet was occupied by Germany again, but since 1944 it has been part of Belgium again.

Tropical Storm Harvey (2005)
Tropical Storm Harvey was a strong tropical storm that moved across the Atlantic Ocean from August 2 to August 8. Harvey was the eighth named storm of the 2005 Atlantic hurricane season. The storm caused no damages.
Harvey formed from a tropical wave to the southwest of Bermuda on August 2 and passed close to Bermuda on August 4, bringing heavy rain to the island. The storm then began to move east and away from Bermuda, which the storm then reached its strongest strength with 65 mph (100 km/h) before becoming an extratropical cyclone on August 8. The system stayed in the northern Atlantic Ocean for a few more days before it died out later.

Tropical Storm Harvey (2005)
Storm history
A tropical wave moved west from the African coast on July 22 and went across the Atlantic Ocean without becoming stronger. When the wave came across the Leeward Islands on July 28, the National Hurricane Center began to watch the system closely for any possible strengthening, which did not happen at that time. By August 2, conditions had become more favorable and Tropical Depression Eight formed about 350 miles (595 km) southwest of Bermuda.
The depression strengthened into Tropical Storm Harvey the next day. But a lot of wind shear gave Harvey some subtropical characteristics and also made the official forecasts to underestimate the future strength of the storm.
Harvey passed 45 miles (75 km) south of Bermuda early on August 4, with winds of 60 mph (90 km/h), before removing its subtropical characteristics to become a "fully tropical" storm. As it moved northeast away from the island, the storm strengthened more to its strongest with winds of 65 mph (100 km/h). Without any notice, more wind shear did not cause Harvey to weaken somewhat, although the storm's path did become confusing. Harvey became a strong extratropical storm during the night on August 8. The storm lived for a few more days before dissipating northwest of the Azores on August 14.
Impact
As Tropical Storm Harvey came closer to Bermuda, a tropical storm warning was given out late on August 2. Because it was considered possible for the storm to continue gaining strength, a hurricane watch was given out the next day. As the storm began move away from Bermuda on August 4, the hurricane watch and the tropical storm warning were cancelled.
Harvey brought heavy rain to Bermuda, with just over 5 inches (130 mm) reported at Bermuda International Airport. The rain caused some flooding of the roads. Also, there was a report of 45 mph (75 km/h) winds over Bermuda. The storm did not cause any bad damage or kill any people on the island.
Naming and records
When Tropical Storm Harvey formed on August 3, it was the earliest time ever in a season that the eighth tropical storm formed. It beat the previous record held by a storm in. This was the fourth time that the name Harvey had been used to name a tropical cyclone in the Atlantic. It was also the sixth time worldwide. However, because Harvey did not cause any bad damage, the name was not retired by the World Meteorological Organization and will be used again during the 2011 season.
2 (number)
2 (Two; ) is a number, numeral, and glyph. It is the number after 1 (one) and the number before 3 (three). In Roman numerals, it is II.
In mathematics
Fractions with 2 in the bottom do not yield infinite.
Two is the framework of the binary system used in computers. The binary way is the simplest system of numbers where natural numbers (0-9) can be written.
Two also has the unique property that 2+2 = 2·2 = 22 and 2! + 2 = 22.
Powers of two are important to computer science.
The square root of two was the first known irrational number.

It is the most important and the most popular festival in Manipur as well as among the Meitei ethnicity. Imitating the ways of Holi, people use colors to smear or spray among each other during the celebration.
Gerresheim
Gerresheim is one of the oldest parts of the City of Düsseldorf, Germany. It is in the east of the city. About 28,200 live in Gerresheim today.
History
In the year 670 a church in Gerresheim is mentioned first time.
In 870 the church the Gerresheim Womans Abbay, St. Margaret's, (Gerresheim Abbey) was founded by Gerricus.
In 1368 got the City Rights by the Counts of Berg.
In the Truchsess War and later the Thirty Years' War Gerresheim was raided some times. Even the nons of Abbay became poorer. So the city became poorer and lost its attraction.
In 1803 there was no Abbay anymore. In 1809 Gerresheim was taken over by Prussia. In 1838 Gerresheim got its railway sation.
In 1909 Gerresheim became a part of Düsseldorf.
Pitchblende
Pitchblende is a radioactive, uranium-rich mineral and ore. It has a chemical composition that is largely UO2, but also contains UO3 and oxides of lead, thorium, and rare earth elements. It is known as pitchblende due to its black color and high density. It is also commonly referred to as Uraninite. The mineral has been known at least since the 15th century from silver mines in the Ore Mountains, on the German/Czech border. Pitchblende found in Germany was used by M. Klaproth in 1789 to discover the element uranium.
Pitchblende contains a small amount of radium as a radioactive decay product of uranium. Because the uranium isotopes 238U and  235U will decay to form the lead isotopes 206Pb and 207Pb, pitchblende also always contains small amounts of lead. Small amounts of helium are also present in pitchblend as a result of alpha decay. Helium was first found on Earth in pitchblende after having been discovered in the Sun's atmosphere.
Occurrence
Pitchblende is a major ore of uranium. Some of the highest grade uranium ores in the world were found in the Shinkolobwe mine in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (the initial source for the Manhattan Project) and in the Athabasca Basin in northern Canada. Another important source of pitchblende is at Great Bear Lake in the Northwest Territories of Canada, where it is found in large quantities associated with silver. It also occurs in Australia, Germany, England, and South Africa. In the United States it can be found in the states of New Hampshire, Connecticut, North Carolina, Wyoming, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico.

Emperor Kōgen
Emperor Kōgen (孝元天皇) was the 8th emperor of Japan, according to the traditional order of succession. Historians consider Emperor Kōgen to be a legendary person; and the name Kōgen-tennō was created for him posthumously by later generations.
No certain dates can be assigned to this emperor's life or reign. The conventionally accepted names and sequence of the early emperors were not to be confirmed as "traditional" until the reign of Emperor Kammu, who was the 50th monarch of the Yamato dynasty.
The Gukanshō records that Kōgen ruled from the palace of Sakaihara-no-miya at Karu in what will come to be known as Yamato province.
Traditional history
Kōgen is almost certainly a legend. The Kojiki records only his name and genealogy. The Nihonshoki includes Kōgen as the seventh of "eight undocumented monarchs" (欠史八代,).
Kōgen was the eldest son of Emperor Kōrei.
Some scholars question the existence of the first nine emperors. These critics consider Kōgen's grandson (Emperor Sujin) to be the earliest to have actually existed.
Events of Kōgen's life
The absence of information about Kōgen does not imply that no such person ever existed. Very little information is available for study prior to the reign of the 29th monarch, Emperor Kimmei.
The Abe clan are said to have descended from a son of Emperor Kōgen.
After his death
This emperor's official name after his death (his posthumous name) was regularized many centuries after the lifetime which was ascribed to Kōgen.
The actual site of his grave is not known. According to the Imperial Household Agency, this emperor is venerated at a memorial Shinto shrine (misasagi) at Nara.

Emperor Sujin
Emperor Sujin (崇神天皇) was the 10th emperor of Japan, according to the traditional order of succession. Historians consider Emperor Sujin to be a legendary person; and the name Sujin-tennō was created for him posthumously by later generations.
No certain dates can be assigned to this emperor's life or reign. The conventionally accepted names and sequence of the early emperors were not to be confirmed as "traditional" until the reign of Emperor Kammu, who was the 50th monarch of the Yamato dynasty.
The Gukanshō records that Sujin ruled from the palace of Mizogaki-no-miya at Shiki in what will come to be known Yamato province.
Traditional history
Sujin is almost certainly a legend; but the Kojiki and Nihonshoki record his name and genealogy. He was the second son of Emperor Kaika.
Some scholars question the existence of the first nine emperors. These critics consider Sujin to be the earliest to have actually existed.
Events of Suijin's life
The limited information about Sujin does not imply that no such person ever existed. Very little information is available for study prior to the reign of the 29th monarch, Emperor Kimmei.
Sujin was interested in agriculture and irrigation. He established a system of taxation.
After his death
This emperor's official name after his death (his posthumous name) was regularized many centuries after the lifetime which was ascribed to Sujin.
The actual site of his grave is not known. According to the Imperial Household Agency, this emperor is venerated at a memorial Shinto shrine (misasagi) at Nara.

A battle of the American Civil War battle was fought on this island in February 1862. Union forces had the advantage because they outnumbered the Confederate defenders. The Confederate Army believing that the swamps on the island were impassable did not post guards there. Union soldiers then approached the Confederate defenders on their sides, forcing the Confederate commander Henry Shaw to surrender. Union soldiers stayed on the island until the war. It was during these years (1862-1865) the Freeman's colony of black slaves was founded and created. After the war the freeman's colony was dispersed. Some of the African Americans on Roanoke Island today trace their heritage or descent back to freeman's colony.
