Proto-Norse or Proto-Nordic was an Indo-European language spoken in Scandinavia that is thought to have diverged from Proto-Germanic sometime between 200 BC and 200. It was spoken until ca 800, when it evolved into Old Norse. There is a corpora of ca 200 runic inscriptions of which the earliest are from ca 200. The inscription found on the Gallehus horn is the most famous example and comes from the 5th century. It reads "Ek hlewagastir holtijar horna tawido" (I Leeguest of Holt made the horn) and it would in Old Norse have been "Ek Hlégestr hyltir táða horn".

There are no indepth details of this reconquest but according to a Jain text, after the death of Emperor Ashoka, the regions of Saurashtra, Maharashtra, Andhra, and Mysore became independent during the reign of his successor, Dasharatha. Later, these areas were brought back under control by Samprati, who is said to have sent soldiers disguised as Jain monks to help regain the territories. Samprati sent missionaries along with his soldiers, likely of the Svetambara tradition, to South India with the goal of expanding Jainism into less civilized regions and reconquering the previously lost areas. These missionaries, disguised as Jaina monks, traveled to the area and instructed the local people on the types of food and items that monks could accept as alms. They encouraged the people to offer these items to the monks instead of paying the usual taxes to the revenue collectors who would come periodically.  In reality, these revenue collectors were also Jaina monks. Having set the groundwork, Samprati then persuaded his religious superiors to send actual monks to these regions, believing they would be able to live there without difficulty. As a result, Jain missionaries were dispatched to the Andhras and Dravidians, who found the conditions just as the king had described. Thus, Jainism spread among these previously uncivilized communities.
Investigative journalism is a kind of journalism where the reporters try to cover a single topic in detail. Example topics include serious crimes, racial injustice, political corruption, or corporate wrongdoing. An investigative journalist may spend months or years researching and preparing a report. Practitioners sometimes use the terms "watchdog reporting" or "accountability reporting". Most investigative journalism has traditionally been conducted by newspapers, wire services, and freelance journalists. With the decline in income through advertising, many traditional news services have struggled to fund investigative journalism, due to it being very time-consuming and expensive. Journalistic investigations are increasingly carried out by news organizations working together, even internationally (as in the case of the Panama Papers and Paradise Papers), or by nonprofit outlets such as ProPublica, which rely on the support of the public and benefactors to fund their work. Other examples are Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein of Washington Post, who uncovered the Watergate scandal, or Seymour Hersh who wrote about the My Lay Massacre,in 1968, where U.S. soldiers had killed over 500 people in a village in Vietnam. In 2004, Hearsh published a report on the Abu Ghraib torture and prisoner abuse, in Iraq.
