She spoke to the media that Manipuri girls are empowered a lot and have been able to play and do well for themselves. Before the beginning of the journey, the polo girls offered prayers to Marjing, the "Polo God" of Meitei religion, at his temple. And so, the name of the movie is also taken from the

The reticulate leaf frog ("Pithecopus ayeaye") is a frog that lives in Brazil. Appearance. The adult male frog is 35 to 42.6 mm long from nose to rear end and the adult female frog is 41.3 to 46.1 mm long. The frog has green skin with big orange blotches with dark blue or purple around them. The frog gets its name from this "reticulated" pattern on its skin. This frog has no webbing on any of its four feet, and the climbing disks on its toes are very small. Habitat and reproduction. This frog lives in small rivers and pools where the water is deep. When it is time to lay eggs, the frog finds a branch hanging over a pool of water. It builds a nest out of leaves on the branch. It lays eggs in the folded leaves. When the eggs hatch, the tadpoles fall out of the nest into the water. Threats. Many of the places where this frog lives are protected parks, but it is still endangered.  This frog is endangered because humans change the places it lives into farms and mines and other things, because humans build roads through places the frog lives so that it can't travel from place to place, because of pollution, and because humans use chemicals meant to kill pests and chemicals meant to make crops grow, and these hurt the frog.

A number field is a finite degree field extension of the field formula_1 of rational numbers.  The study of algebraic number fields, and, more generally, of algebraic extensions of the field of rational numbers, is the central topic of .
A field extension formula_1 is a field containing a given field formula_2 as a subfield.  The notation formula_3 means that formula_1 is an extension of the field formula_2. formula_1 is sometimes called an overfield of the field formula_2. Algebraic over formula_2. An element of the field formula_1 is called algebraic over formula_2 if it satisfies some algebraic equation with coefficients in formula_2, and transcendental otherwise.
The commutative property of addition is the property in mathematics which states that changing the order of addends does not change the sum.  For example, formula_1.
L-functions and modular forms database is an extensive database of mathematical objects arising in number theory. It can be used for searching modular forms, elliptic curves, number fields (and fields), L-functions... LuCaNT 2023. The first conference on the LMFDB, Computation, and Number Theory (LuCaNT) is currently being planned for July 10 to July 14, 2023 at ICERM in Providence, Rhode Island, United States.
In group theory, a branch of mathematics, given a group formula_1 under a binary operation, a subset formula_2 of formula_1 is called a subgroup of "formula_1" if the elements "formula_2" also forms a group under the binary operation. The situation could arise in which the subset formula_2 does not comply with the binary operation. In that case, H would not be a subgroup. For example, the even numbers are a subgroup of the integers, with addition as the binary operation.
In group theory, a branch of mathematics, a subgroup formula_1 of the group formula_2 is normal in formula_2 if and only if formula_4 for all formula_5 and formula_6. The usual notation for this relation is formula_7

Interlingue is a constructed language. It was called "Occidental" between 1922 and 1947. Edgar de Wahl, one of the first Esperantists, created it. De Wahl was from the city of Tallinn in Estonia, which was in the Russian Empire but later became its own country. He spoke German, Russian, Estonian and French since he was a child and had natural ability in languages. He is often called "de Wahl". Interlingue looks a lot like languages in the Romance language family: French, Spanish, Italian, and so on. De Wahl made a rule called De Wahl's rule that made changing verbs to nouns easier and more regular. For example, the word exploder (to explode) regularly changes its d to s (making explosion) when following this rule. Alphabet and pronunciation. Interlingue is written with 26 Latin letters: a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, m, n, o, p, q, r, s, t, u, v, w, x, y, z. The letters of the alphabet are pronounced as "a, be, ce, de, e, ef, ge, ha, i, jot, ka, el, em, en, o, pe, qu, er, es, te, u, ve, duplic ve, ix, ypsilon", and "zet". Accents are written on the five vowels to indicate irregular stress, with the acute accent (á é í ó ú) preferred, but others (è, ê, etc.) permitted. The vowels are usually pronounced as follows: The consonants are pronounced as in English, with the following exceptions: Other doubled consonants are pronounced as a single consonant, unless when separated they would be pronounced differently. Ex. grammatica is pronounced as if written gramatica, but occidental and suggestion are pronounced as if written as oc followed by cidental, and sug followed by gestion. Article. Like English, Interlingue has a definite article and an indefinite article. The definite article (the) is "li", and the indefinite (a, an) is

The red-necked avocet ("Recurvirostra novaehollandiae") is a bird in the family Recurvirostridae. It lives in many parts of Australia, not far from the coast.

When the red-necked avocet flies, it sticks its legs out behind it instead of tucking them under its body. Red-necked avocets spend time in the same places as the pied stilt and banded stilt.

It eats animals without spines or bones. It also eats seeds. Breeding. This bird lays eggs when there is enough rainfall.
