Nikolai Alexandrovich Mashkin (Russian: Николай Александрович Машкин; 9 February 1900, Sokolki – 15 September 1950, Moscow) was a Soviet scholar of Ancient Rome (Doctor of Historical Sciences and Professor from 1942). Mashkin authored The History of Ancient Rome (1947–56), which was translated into several languages, and The Principate of Augustus. Its Origin and Social Essence (1949, translated into German, Italian, Hungarian and Romanian languages). In 1950 Mashkin received the Stalin Prize.

Mashkin was born in the village of Sokolki, present Bugulminsky District in Russia. Having finished a school in Bugulma, he studied at the Faculty of History and Philosophy of the Samara State University (1921/22) and at the Faculty of Social Sciences of the Moscow University. In 1938 Mashkin received his doctorate. Mashkin extensively studied the history of Roman provinces, particularly Africa. He also authored several works on circumcellions.

He published in Journal of Ancient History.

Journal of Ancient History
The Journal of Ancient History (Russian: Вестник Древней Истории, Vestnik Drevnei Istorii) is a Russian bulletin founded in 1937. It publishes articles mainly on the ancient Orient, ancient Greece, ancient Rome, and recent archeological digs. It comes out four times a year. Circulation: over 3,000 copies (1971).

Foia Foia language
Foia Foia (Foyafoya), or Minanibai, is a Papuan language of Papua New Guinea, spoken in an area near the Omati River mouth in Ikobi Kairi and Goaribari Census districts (Gulf Province).

Mahigi, a Foia Foia dialect documented in a word list by Cridland (1924), is now extinct.

Goaribari Island
Goaribari is an island in southern Papua New Guinea. It is located in Gulf Province within the Gulf of Papua. During high tides, parts of the island are inundated. The vegetation is thick rainforest.

Headhunting was alleged to occur locally, with the colonists citing the discovery of thousands of skulls in village houses and the longhouse in the early 20th century. However, the veracity of these claims were never ascertained. In 1901, two ministers and ten missionary students encroached on the region, intent on evangelising the First Nations locals. They were subsequently killed for their trespass. This led to a Royal Commission by the Australian government, which made unfounded claims of cannibalism by the First Nations people.
Princess Murong
Princess Murong (慕容王后, personal name unknown) was a princess and queen consort of the Chinese state Northern Yan.  Her husband was the last emperor, Feng Hong (Emperor Zhaocheng), of that dynasty.

Presumably, she was from the Murong imperial clan of Northern Yan's predecessor state Later Yan, although her exact lineage is not known.  She was not Feng Hong's first wife; when Feng Hong was the Duke of Zhongshan under his brother Feng Ba (Emperor Wencheng), his wife was Duchess Wang, but after he seized the throne in 430, he created Lady Murong princess in 431. He appointed her son Feng Wangren (馮王仁) as crown prince in 432, bypassing Duchess Wang's son Feng Chong (馮崇), the oldest among his sons.  Nothing further is known about Princess Murong, including whether she survived Northern Yan's destruction in 436 or her husband's death in 438.

Queen consort
A queen consort  is the wife of a reigning king, and usually shares her spouse's social rank and status. She holds the feminine equivalent of the king's monarchical titles and may be crowned and anointed, but historically she does not formally share the king's political and military powers, unless on occasion acting as regent.  In polygynous societies, a (male) monarch has a principal or senior wife.

In contrast, a queen regnant is a female monarch who rules suo jure (Latin for, "in her own right") and usually becomes queen by inheriting the throne upon the death of the previous monarch.

A queen dowager is a widowed queen consort, and a queen mother is a queen dowager who is the mother of the current monarch.

Lampropeltis knoblochi
Lampropeltis knoblochi, commonly known as the Madrean mountain kingsnake, Knobloch's mountain kingsnake , or the Chihuahuan mountain kingsnake, is a species of colubrid snake residing in western North America.

It is a coral snake mimic, having nearly the same pattern on its body, except instead on yellow, the kingsnake has white crossbands.

It lives mostly on the mountains of its relatively small Sonoran Desert region, in Sonora, Mexico.

Coral snake
Coral snakes are a large group of elapid snakes that can be divided into two distinct groups, the Old World coral snakes and New World coral snakes. There are 27 species of Old World coral snakes, in three genera (Calliophis, Hemibungarus, and Sinomicrurus), and 83 recognized species of New World coral snakes, in two genera (Micruroides and Micrurus). Phylogenetic studies suggest that the group originated in the Old World. While new world species of both genera are venomous, their bites are seldom lethal; as of 2018, only two confirmed fatalities had been documented in the United States in the preceding 100 years from the genus Micrurus. Meanwhile, snakes of the genus Micruroides have never caused a medically significant bite.

Simona Pop
Simona Pop née Deac (born 25 December 1988) is a retired Romanian épée fencer, bronze medallist at the 2015 European Championships, team silver medallist in the 2015 World Fencing Championships and team European champion in 2014 and 2015.

Épée
The épée (/ˈɛpeɪ, ˈeɪ-/, French: [epe]; lit. 'sword'), also rendered as epee in English, is the largest and heaviest of the three weapons used in the sport of fencing. The modern épée derives from the 19th-century épée de combat, a weapon which itself derives from the French small sword.

As a thrusting weapon, the épée is similar to a foil (contrasted with a sabre, which is designed for slashing). It has a stiffer blade than a foil. It is triangular in cross-section with a V-shaped groove called a fuller. The épée also has a larger bell guard designed to protect the user’s arm. In addition to the larger "bell" guard and blade, the épée weighs more than the foil and sabre which contributes to its reputation of being the slowest form of fencing. The techniques of use differ, as there are no rules regarding priority and a lack of right of way. Thus, immediate counterattacks are a common feature of épée fencing. The entire body is a valid target area.

Copper(I) chloride
Copper(I) chloride, commonly called cuprous chloride, is the lower chloride of copper, with the formula CuCl. The substance is a white solid sparingly soluble in water, but very soluble in concentrated hydrochloric acid. Impure samples appear green due to the presence of copper(II) chloride (CuCl2).

Acetylene
Acetylene (systematic name: ethyne) is a chemical compound with the formula C2H2 and structure HC≡CH. It is a hydrocarbon and the simplest alkyne. This colorless gas is widely used as a fuel and a chemical building block. It is unstable in its pure form and thus is usually handled as a solution. Pure acetylene is odorless, but commercial grades usually have a marked odor due to impurities such as divinyl sulfide and phosphine.

As an alkyne, acetylene is unsaturated because its two carbon atoms are bonded together in a triple bond. The carbon–carbon triple bond places all four atoms in the same straight line, with CCH bond angles of 180°. The triple bond in acetylene results in a high energy content that is released when acetylene is burned.

Denny Dennis
Denny Dennis (born Ronald Dennis Pountain; 1 November 1913 – 2 November 1993) was a British romantic vocalist during the 1930s to the 1950s, singing with British dance bands when they were at the peak of their popularity. He was a dance band singer, a solo recording star and a broadcaster.

British dance band
British dance band is a genre of popular jazz and dance music that developed in British dance halls and hotel ballrooms during the 1920s and 1930s, often called a Golden Age of British music, prior to the Second World War.

Thousands of miles away from the origins of jazz in the United States, British dance bands of this era typically played melodic, good-time music that had jazz and big band influences but also maintained a peculiarly British sense of rhythm and style which came from the music hall tradition. Often, comedians of the day or music hall personalities would sing novelty recordings backed by well-known British dance band leaders. Some of the British dance band leaders and musicians went on to fame in the United States in the swing era.

Thanks to Britain's continuing ballroom dancing tradition and its recording copyright laws, British dance music of the pre-swing era still attracts a modest audience, which American dance music of the same period does not.
