Datuak

Datuk (or Datuak) is a traditional, honorary title bestowed on a person by the agreement of a people or tribe in the Minangkabau language, spoken by the Minangkabau people of Indonesia and Malaysia. The title of Datuk was agreed upon by local, traditional leaders (Kerapatan Adat Nagari, abbreviated "KAN"). The title engenders great respect, and is only used for Minangkabau men who have become stakeholders of traditional leaders or penghulu (noblemen) for a particular tribe. When the title is bestowed, it is celebrated with a traditional ceremony (Malewa Gala) and a banquet.
Unlike other Malay traditions, the title of datuk is inherited according to the matrilineal system. When a datuk dies his title may pass to his brother or nephew, whoever is closest in the maternal line. If there is no maternal relative, it may be given to another tribal member with the agreement of the tribe.
If the tribe has expanded and split up into groups in other areas, it may appoint a new datuk by appending one or two words to the previous datuk title; for example, if a datuk name is Datuak Bandaro it may be expanded to Bandaro Putiah or Datuak Bandaro nan Putiah with the agreement of each tribal subgroup.
The social status of a people in Minangkabau society may be seen from its datuk title. The beginning of the oldest titles usually consists of one syllable and is derived from Sanskrit (for example, Datuk Ketemanggungan). Other datuk titles are composed of two (or more) words (for example, Datuk Parpatiah nan Sabatang). After the Islamic influence, the title of datuk is derived from Arabic. Below is a list of major datuk titles in Minangkabau legend and tradition:

2022

2022 (MMXXII) was a common year starting on Saturday of the Gregorian calendar, the 2022nd year of the Common Era (CE) and Anno Domini (AD) designations, the 22nd year of the 3rd millennium and the 21st century, and the 3rd year of the 2020s decade.
The year began with another wave in the COVID-19 pandemic, with Omicron spreading rapidly and becoming the dominant variant of the SARS-CoV-2 virus worldwide. Tracking a decrease in cases and deaths, 2022 saw the removal of most COVID-19 restrictions and the reopening of international borders in the vast majority of countries, while the global rollout of COVID-19 vaccines continued. The global economic recovery from the pandemic continued, though many countries experienced an ongoing inflation surge; in response, many central banks raised their interest rates to landmark levels. The world population reached eight billion people in 2022. The year also witnessed numerous natural disasters, including two devastating Atlantic hurricanes (Fiona and Ian), and the most powerful volcano eruption of the century so far. The later part of the year also saw the first public release of ChatGPT by OpenAI starting an arms race in artificial intelligence which increased in intensity into 2023, as well as the collapse of the cryptocurrency exchange FTX.
2022 was also dominated by wars and armed conflicts. While escalations into the internal conflict in Myanmar and the Tigray War dominated the heightening of tensions within their regions and each caused over 10,000 deaths, 2022 was most notable for the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the largest armed conflict in Europe since World War II. The invasion caused the displacement of 15.7 million Ukrainians (8 million internally displaced persons and 7.7 million refugees), and led to international condemnations and sanctions and nuclear threats, the withdrawal of hundreds of companies from Russia, and the exclusion of Russia from major sporting events.
The ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine escalated after Russian president Vladimir Putin announced a "special military operation", stating that it was to support the Russian-backed breakaway republics of Donetsk and Luhansk, whose paramilitary forces had been fighting Ukraine in the Donbas conflict since 2014.
The world population was estimated to have reached 8 billion after 11 years on 15 November 2022. China was the most populous country throughout the year, followed by India. Africa was the fastest growing continent.

Timeline of the Russian invasion of Ukraine

On 24 February 2022, Russia launched a military invasion of Ukraine in a steep escalation of the Russo-Ukrainian War. The campaign had been preceded by a Russian military buildup since early 2021 and numerous Russian demands for security measures and legal prohibitions against Ukraine joining NATO.
On 10 November 2021, the United States reported an unusual movement of Russian troops near Ukraine's borders. On 7 December, US President Joe Biden warned President of Russia Vladimir Putin of "strong economic and other measures" if Russia attacks Ukraine. On 17 December 2021, Putin proposed a prohibition on Ukraine joining NATO, which Ukraine rejected.
On 17 January 2022, Russian troops began arriving in Russia's ally Belarus, ostensibly "for military exercises". On 24 January, NATO put troops on standby. On 25 January, Russian military exercises involving 6,000 troops and 60 jets take place in Russia near Ukraine and Crimea. On 10 February, Russia and Belarus began 10 days of military maneuvers. Fighting escalated in separatist regions of eastern Ukraine on the 17th. On 21 February, Vladimir Putin officially ordered Russian forces to enter the separatist republics in eastern Ukraine. He also announced Russian recognition of the two pro-Russian breakaway regions in eastern Ukraine (the Donetsk People's Republic and the Luhansk People's Republic).
In early June 2023, Ukraine launched a substantial counteroffensive against Russian forces occupying its territory with a long-term goal of breaching the frontlines. However, by the end of 2023, the offensive had ended in failure.
Ubao

Ubao ni dutu inayofanya gogo na matawi ya mti. Ina matumizi muhimu kwa ujenzi na vifaa pia kama kuni kwa moto.
Ubao hutengenezwa na mti wakati wa kukua. Ubao laini katika ganda la nje la gogo hupitisha maji na lishe kutoka mizizi kwenda kwenye matawi na majani. Kila mwaka ganda jipya linaongezeka nje na ganda la ndani huwa imara na kupoteza uwezo wa kupitisha maji. Mabadiliko haya ya kila mwaka huonekana katika miviringo ya ubao ndani ya mti.
Ubao umetumiwa na wanadamu tangu miaka maelfu. Mwanzoni ilitumiwa kama kuni na fimbo ya silaha. Baadaye watu walijifunza kuchonga ubao kwa matumizi mbalimbali kama vile ujenzi, vifaa, sanaa kama uchongaji, karatasi na mengi mengine.
Ubao huwa na faida ni imara lakini si vigumu ya kukata na kuchonga, tena ni nyepesi. Pia unapatikana kwa wingi angalau katika maeneo ambako miti inakua.
Mpasua mbao

Mpasua mbao ni mtu ambaye kazi yake ni kukata miti na kuipasua kwa matumizi ya mbao na kuni.
Katika historia kazi hiyo ilitekelezwa mwanzoni na mtu yeyote. Katika jamii zilizojenga tasnia kubwa kama vile uchimbaji wa madini, ufuaji metali na ujenzi wa jahazi, upasuaji wa ubao uliendelea kuwa kazi ya pekee iliyohitaji maarifa na vifaa maalumu ili kutosheleza mahitaji ya tasnia hizo.
Upasuaji wa mbao ni kazi ngumu na hatarishi iliyotekelezwa kwa karne nyingi kwa zana kama shoka na msumeno. Tangu karne ya 20 vifaa vipya vinavyoendeshwa kwa injini kama msumeno wa mnyororo vimepatikana. Leo hii ni kawaida mpasua mbao kuwa pia na nguzo kumkinga dhidi ya jeraha na sauti kubwa ya injini.
Mbao F.C.

Mbao FC ni klabu ya mpira wa miguu yenye makazi yake wilaya ya Ilemela, mkoa wa Mwanza, nchini Tanzania. Uwanja wa nyumbani unaitwa CCM Kirumba uliopo katika mkoa wa Mwanza.
Waliweza kuingia katika Ligi Kuu Tanzania Bara katika msimu wa 2015/2016.
Katika msimu wa mwaka 2016/2017 ni moja ya timu mbili za Mwanza zinazocheza katika Ligi Kuu. Wengine ni Toto Afrika.
Mei 2017, Mbao FC ilicheza katka fainali ya Kombe la Shirikisho la Azam, dhidi ya Simba Sports Club. Simba ilishinda mchezo huo kwa magoli 2-1 .
Mashua

Mashua ni jina la jumla la vyombo vya kusafiri kwenye maji. Zinaweza kuendeshwa kwa njia mbalimbali, kama makasia, matanga na injini. Mashua zenye injini huitwa boti kwa kawaida na zilizo kubwa sana huitwa meli. Ikiwa injini inafanya kazi kwa mvuke, mashua inaitwa merikebu.
Mashua hutengenezwa kwa maada mbalimbali, kama mbao, mafunjo, plastiki au feleji. Zinasafiri kwenye bahari, maziwa na mito, na kubeba watu au mizigo au yote. Mashua ambazo hutumiwa kuvuka mito huitwa feri au vivuko. Zile zinazoweza kwenda chini ya maji huitwa manowari.
Huko pwani ya Afrika ya Mashariki, aina mbili za mashua kubwa kiasi za mbao zenye (ma)tanga ni za kawaida. Jahazi ndilo kubwa zaidi na linatumika kwa biashara katika pwani na kuelekea Uarabuni na Uhindi. Mashua hapa ni chombo kidogo zaidi cha mbao ambacho hutumiwa mara nyingi kwa uvuvi. Aina hizi zote mbili zimejengwa kwa miunda ya mbao.
Aina nyingine mbili za mashua zimetengenezwa kwa magogo ya miti yaliyotemuliwa. Sahili zaidi ni mtumbwi, unaotumika karibu na pwani na kwenye komeo za bahari na mito. Unasukumwa kwa kafi au upondo. Kwa ujumla huwa na urefu wa m 2 au 3 lakini unaweza kuwa hadi m 6. Mitumbwi midogo inaitwa hori na hutumika kwa usafiri kati ya ufuko na mashua kubwa zaidi.
Aina nyingine ni ngalawa, ambayo ni kubwa kuliko mtumbwi. Ingawa awali zilitengenezwa kutoka kwa gogo kubwa la mti, sasa mara nyingi hutengenezwa kwa mbao. Kwa kawaida hubeba tanga. Inatofautishwa na mashua kwa gubeti yake iliyoinuliwa na shetri iliyochongoka (mashua ina shetri ya mraba).
Terakota

Terakota ni sanaa na vifaa vya ufinyanzi vinavyotengenezwa kwa kutumia udongo mwekundu unaochomwa, mara nyingi bila ganda la kioo usoni mwake.
Jina limetokana na neno la Kiitalia terracotta ("udongo uliochomwa"). Kimsingi hakuna tofauti kubwa kati ya matofali ya kuchomwa na terakota, ila kazi za terakota ni lazima kutekelezwa kwa umakini zaidi na kuchagua vema udongo unaofaa.
Mifano ya kazi za terakota ni pamoja na sanamu, vyombo vya mapambo, picha kwenye uso wa vyombo, pia sura ya mapambo ya nyumba, lakini pia vifaa sahili kama mabomba ya ufinyanzi kwa ajili ya maji.
Mifano mashuhuri sana ni sanamu za tamaduni za kale zilizodumu miaka elfu kadhaa kwa sababu udongo wa ufinyanzi, kama uliteuliwa vema na kuchomwa vema, utadumu karne nyingi. Kati ya mifano mashuhuri ni sanamu za "Jeshi la Terakota" pale China, sanamu za Nok na terakota za Ugiriki ya kale.
Rangi ya vifaa visivyotiwa ganda la kioo mara nyingi ni nyekundu-kahawia; kuna pia mifano ya njano inayotumia udongo tofauti.
Terakota inapokea rangi lakini haiwezi kung'aa hadi kuchomwa mara ya pili ambako uso wa nje hufunikwa na tabaka la kioo.
Eneo bunge la Kisumu Rural

Eneo bunge la Kisumu Rural (pia: Kisumu Mashinani) lilikuwa jimbo la uchaguzi nchini Kenya, moja ya majimbo matatu ya Wilaya ya Kisumu. Jimbo hilo lilikuwa na Wodi nane, zote zikiwachagua Madiwani kwa Baraza la Kisumu County.
Lilianzishwa wakati wa Uchaguzi Mkuu wa 1963.
Awali jimbo hili lilikuwa likiwakilishwa na Robert Ouko, mwanasiasa ambaye baadaye aliuawa. Wakati wa Uchaguzi Mkuu wa 1988, Ouko alihamia Kisumu Town (Kisumu Mjini) (baadaye liligawanywa kuwa majimbo ya Kisumu Mjini Mashariki na Kisumu Mjini Magharibi).
Soukous

Soukous (pia inajulikana kama Lingala au rumba la Kikongo) ni jina la kutaja aina maarufu ya muziki wa dansi ambao umetoka katika Kongo katika miaka ya 1940, hasa ulitokana na athira ya Cuban son. Mtindo huu ulianza kupata umaarufu zaidi katika miaka ya 1960 na 70. Soukous hufahamika kama Lingala nchini Tanzania, Kenya, na Uganda hasa kwa sababu mashairi yake huimbwa kwa lugha ya Kilingala. Huko nchini Zambia na Zimbabwe, ambapo muziki wa Kikongo napo upo maarufu, bado huitwa kwa jina la rumba. Leo hii, unashikisha mitindo mingine kama vile kwasa kwasa na muziki wa kasi juu wa zouk.

Kitale Museum

First opened in 1924 to the public, the Kitale Museum is the first domestic museum opened in Kenya. Originally, it was known as the Stoneham Museum, named after Colonel Hugh Stoneham. He had been a large contributor and collector of the artifacts held within the museum up until his death in 1966. It was later renamed the Kitale Museum when it was established by the National Museums of Kenya in 1974.
The Kitale Museum used to be a privately owned museum prior to the death of Colonel Stoneham. After he died he willed funds as well as his entire collection, which included an extensive insect collection to the Kenyan government so that they could establish a national museum. In 1974 a new museum building was founded in Kitale on 5 acres of land making the Kitale Museum the first regional museum to become a part of the Kenya Museum Society.
Kitale Museum is located in western Kenya in Trans-Nzoia County. It is exactly 380 kilometres northwest from the nation's capital, Nairobi. The museum is 1 km west of the town centre on the outskirts of Kitale. A majority of the collections within the museum are items gathered from various tribes within Kenya such as the Luyha, Maasai and the Turkana. The museum displays their traditional Kenyan homes, weaponry, utensils and native musical instruments. The museum also includes a nature trail, which was created in 1977 and is located towards the back of the museum. This nature trail conserves various rare plants and animals. It is a serene makeshift rainforest that allows visitors of the museum to experience what it's like to be inside an actual Kenyan rainforest. The museum also holds animals such as Nile crocodiles, leopard, tortoises and various poisonous snakes such as the puff adder, rock python, Gaboon viper and the rhinoceros viper.
The museum showcases the history of the communities in Kenya, especially the Luhya tribe. This showcases the setup of a Bukusu homestead which comprises the main house, the kitchen and boys sleeping house also known as a SIMBA. The Sabaot homestead consists of circular huts (mostly of about 20 metres in diameter) and is divided into two parts: the front part called Koima, in which most of the people live, while the back smaller part is called Injoor and is mainly reserved for small endangered animals like goats and sheep.

Balanites rotundifolia

Balanites rotundifolia, known in Swahili as Mbamba ngoma is a spiny bush or small tree from eastern Africa and southern Arabia. It is a member of the caltrop family, Zygophyllaceae.
Balanites rotundifolia is a small tree or shrub with a multi-stemmed growth form and spiny branches which grows to 2-5m. The small, round or heart shaped leaves are green, rather hairy, grow in pairs and lack stalks. The stout thorns are green, straight and grow to 3 cm in length. The greenish white flowers grow from the thorns and the small hairy fruit is 2 cm in length. When the fruit is ripe it is orange-yellow in colour.
Balanites rotundifolia is found in eastern Africa from Somalia and Somaliland into Sudan, and also in Yemen, specifically Aden.
Balanites rotundifolia occurs in arid tree savanna or scrub; semi-desert scrub; deciduous bushland and open woodland. It is often found growing in thin soils over lava or near rivers; it can be the dominant species in some habitats such as raised beaches over sandstones. Fruiting in Kenya occurs in February and in October and November. Often grows in association with Acacia, Commiphora or Combretum in arid areas. The flowers are pollinated by bees.
The ripe fruit has an edible and sweet pulp, the ripe fruits are either picked from the tree or gathered from the ground. The fruits are eaten as a snack, particularly by herdsmen. The seeds are edible if they are boiled for 3–4 hours, they are normally eaten with milk. The fruit pulp is fermented to make a local brew.
The wood is used to smoke food for flavour and to sterilise milk containers.
Balanites rotundifolia is the source of a gum resin called Hanjigoad, which is used for chewing and is collected as tears or globular pieces.
The wood is used as firewood and to make charcoal. It is fashioned into poles, tool handles, carvings, utensils (e.g. head rests, wooden spoons and combs).
The leaves and shoots provide fodder for domestic animals in very arid areas.
It is used for live fencing and the cut branches are used to make fences, it is also planted in soil conservation projects. There are no known medicinal applications.
List of national instruments (music)

This list contains musical instruments of symbolic or cultural importance within a nation, state, ethnicity, tribe or other group of people.
In some cases, national instruments remain in wide use within the nation (such as the Puerto Rican cuatro), but in others, their importance is primarily symbolic (such as the Welsh triple harp). Danish ethnologist Lisbet Torp has concluded that some national instrument traditions, such as the Finnish kantele, are invented, pointing to the "influence of intellectuals and nationalists in the nationwide promotion of selected musical instruments as a vehicle for nationalistic ideas". Governments do not generally officially recognize national instruments; some exceptions being the Paraguayan harp, the Japanese koto and the Trinidadian steelpan.
This list compiles instruments that have been alleged to be a national instrument by any of a variety of sources, and an instrument's presence on the list does not indicate that its status as a national instrument is indisputable, only that its status has been credibly argued. Each instrument on this list has a Hornbostel-Sachs number immediately below it. This number indicates the instrument's classification within the Hornbostel-Sachs system (H-S), which organizes instruments numerically based on the manner in which they produce sound.
Images and recordings are supplied where available; note that there are often variations within a national musical tradition, and thus the images and recordings may not be accurate in depicting the entire spectrum of the given nation's music, and that some images and recordings may be taken from a region outside the core of the national instrument's home when such distinctions have little relevance to the information present in the image and recordings. A number of countries have more than one instrument listed, each having been described as a national instrument, not usually by the same source; neither the presence of multiple entries for one nation, nor for multiple nations for one instrument, on this list is reflective of active dispute in any instance. Alternative names and spellings are given. These mostly come from alternative spellings within English or alternative methods of transliterating from a foreign language to English, such as the Chinese yangqin, also transliterated yang ch'in and yang qin. Others reflect regions or subcultures within a given nation, such as the Australian didgeridoo which is or has been called didjeridu, yidaki, yiraki, magu, kanbi and ihambilbilg in various Australian Aboriginal languages. All non-English words are italicized.
Remove Madal from Nepal. It is not a national instrument of Nepal.

Berthe Morisot cu un buchet de violete

Berthe Morisot cu un buchet de violete este o pictură în ulei pe pânză din 1872 a pictorului francez Édouard Manet. Pictura o înfățișează pe pictorița Berthe Morisot îmbrăcată într-o rochie neagră de doliu, cu un buchet abia vizibil de violete. Pictura, cunoscută uneori drept Portretul lui Berthe Morisot, Berthe Morisot cu pălărie neagră sau Tânără femeie cu pălărie neagră, se află în colecția Musée d'Orsay din Paris. De asemenea, Manet a creat o gravură și două litografii ale aceleiași compoziții.
Manet a făcut cunoștință cu Berthe Morisot în 1868. Era nepoata lui Fragonard și, de asemenea, pictoriță; Morisot și Manet și-au influențat reciproc activitatea. El i-a pictat portretul de multe ori, inclusiv în lucrarea sa anterioară Balconul. S-a căsătorit cu fratele lui Manet, Eugène, în 1874.
Manet a rămăs la Paris în timpul războiului franco-prusac din 1870–71 și a făcut parte din Garda Națională pentru a apăra orașul în timpul asediului Parisului. Nu a putut să picteze în timp ce servea în Gardă și a părăsit Parisul după ce orașul s-a predat la sfârșitul lunii ianuarie 1871. A revenit la pictat mai târziu în 1871 și s-a întors la Paris după înfrângerea Comunei din Paris în mai 1871.
Acest tablou a fost unul dintre mai multele portrete ale unui Morisot îmbrăcată în negru realizate de Manet între 1872 și 1874: altele o prezintă cu un pantof roz, cu un evantai și acoperită cu un voal.
Este un studiu în nuanțe de negru. În mod neobișnuit pentru portretele lui Manet, care de obicei au o lumină uniformă, Morisot este luminată dintr-o parte, astfel încât să fie mai luminoasă pe partea dreaptă, în timp ce stânga este în umbră profundă. Poartă rochie și pălărie neagră de doliu, cu fața înconjurată de panglici și eșarfe negre, pe un fundal mai deschis și un cercel în fiecare ureche. Florile violete sunt abia perceptibile acolo unde decolteul rochiei lui Morisot se îndreaptă spre pieptul ei. De asemenea, Manet a pictat violete în Femeie cu papagal din 1866.
Manet a pictat-o pe Morisot cu ochi negri, deși ochii ei erau de fapt verzi. Costumul întunecat și ochii pot face aluzie la impresia lui Manet că arăta ca o spanioloaică. Manet mai pictase un portret similar, cu propria sa mamă în doliu, în 1863, în care o prezintă pe mama sa îmbrăcată în negru, pe un fundal întunecat.
Pictura a fost urmată de o gravură similară - probabil primul exemplar, cu poza inversată - și două litografii, toate realizate din 1872 până în 1874. Manet a realizat o pictură similară cu Morisot în rochie de doliu în 1874, după moartea tatălui ei, Edmé Tiburce Morisot.

List of tram and light rail transit systems

The following is a list of cities that have current tram/streetcar (including heritage trams/heritage streetcars), or light rail systems as part of their regular public transit systems. In other words, this list only includes systems which operate year-round and provide actual transit service, not ones that are primarily tourist services, are seasonal-only, or are excursion-type tram operations.
Some transit systems branded as "light rail" such as the Docklands Light Railway in London, Ampang Line and Kelana Jaya Line of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia qualify as metro systems (see medium-capacity rail system) and thus are not listed here – see List of metro systems.
Only currently operational tram and LRT systems are included in this listing – tram and LRT systems that have "suspended operation" or are presently under construction are excluded.
All systems in Russia, including those in Asia, are listed together, for convenience, in the Europe section of this article, similarly all systems in Egypt are listed in the Africa section.
All systems in Kazakhstan and Turkey, including those in Europe, are listed together, for convenience, in the Asia section of this article. All systems in Russia, including those in Asia, are listed together, for convenience, in this section.
The following systems provide regular transit service daily and year-round in North America, including those systems or lines using vintage or faux-vintage streetcars. For other heritage streetcar lines, ones with more limited service, see Streetcars in North America. North America, specifically more so the United States, once had extensive tram networks in almost all cities, but nearly all were removed for bus operations between the 1940s and the 1960s. These systems are listed at List of streetcar systems in the United States.
List of tram systems by gauge and electrification

The following is a list of tram/streetcar (including heritage trams/heritage streetcars), or light rail systems with their track length, track gauge, electrification system.
The vast majority of tram systems use 1,435 mm (4 ft 8+1⁄2 in) standard gauge. Generally, standard gauge is the standard for every brand new system (except for the former Soviet Union), even in places where there is another gauge for the heavy rail. Metre gauge is mainly present in some old, continuously operating systems in Central Europe. Russian gauge is used only in the former Soviet Union.
The electrification system for the old systems is generally 600 V DC while the more recent systems use 750 V DC. Some old systems upgraded to 750 V in recent years (mostly in Germany) while some systems (e.g. Romania) downgraded the voltage to 600 V to use the second-hand vehicles coming from the upgraded German networks. Few systems are partially or wholly catenary-free, with APS and ACR systems or using a pure internal power source as battery or ultracapacitors. Very few vintage systems are horse-drawn tram or cable car. For references for the figures, see each system's page.
Note: Overhead line electrification unless specified differently. All systems use direct current
