Bandō prisoner of war camp was a prisoner of war camp that existed from 1917 to 1920, during and shortly after the First World War. It was located in the city with the same name. It housed about 1000 of the 3900 prisoners of war captured at Tsingtao, China, in 1914. Today, the camp is considered special, because of the liberal rules it had. Many of the prisoners were not professional soldiers, but had other jobs before the war. The commander of the camp, Matsue Toyohisa, saw this, and allowed the prisoners many liberties. One of these liberties was that they were allowed to follow courses to improve their skills. That way, Hermann Richard Hansen directed a choir and an orchestra of prisoners, to perform Beethoven's 9th symphony. This was the first performance of the symphony in Japan and in Asia. When the camp closed in 1920, 63 people chose to stay in Japan.
MOD (Marehan, Ogaden, Darawiish)
MOD in Somali politics stands for "Marehan, Ogaden, Darawiish". It is an acronym to describe the political alliance between the Marehan, Ogaden and reer Darawiish tribes. The political alliance between MOD (Marehan, Ogaden, Darawiish) started in the 1980s in the Hantiwadaag era. The political coalition of MOD ended in 1989 with the Somali Civil War. The political alliance between Marehan, Ogaden and Darawiish was led by president Siad Barre.

Anatomical terms of location
Anatomical terms of location have been developed. They help describe the anatomy of animals (including humans). They describe standard positions on an animal. They use Latin and Greek words.
Standard terms let all biological and medical scientists, veterinarians, doctors and anatomists to communicate information about animal bodies and their organs. Much of this information has been standardised in internationally agreed vocabularies for humans (Gray's Anatomy) and animals
For humans, and other animals which stand on two feet (bipeds), terms used are different from animals which stand on four (quadrupeds). Humans are described in the standard anatomical position, which is standing up with arms outstretched. So, what is on "top" of a human is the head, whereas the "top" of a dog may be its back, and the "top" of a flounder could refer to either its left or its right side. Unique terms are used to describe animals without a backbone (invertebrates), because of their wide variety of shapes and symmetry.
Above and below. In humans it means the head and feet. In animals it means the back and the underneath.
Means the front and the back.
Means the midline and the sides. The terms "left" and "right" are sometimes used, or their Latin alternatives dexter (right) and sinister (left).
The terms proximal and distal are used to describe parts of a feature that are close to, or distant from, the main mass of the body. Thus the upper arm in humans is proximal and the hand is distal.
"Proximal and distal" are frequently used when describing appendages, such as fins, tentacles, and limbs.
This terminology is also employed in molecular biology and therefore referring to the atomic position of molecules in a given compound.
Central and peripheral refer to the distance towards and away from the centre of something.
Central describes something close to the centre. For example, the great vessels run centrally through the body; many smaller vessels branch from these.
Peripheral describes something further away from the centre of something. For example, the arm is peripheral to the body.
Deep describes something further away from the surface of the organism.
Superficial describes something near the outer surface of the organism. For example, in skin, the epidermis is superficial to the subcutis.
These two terms, used in anatomy and embryology, describe something at the back ("dorsal") or front/belly ("ventral") of an organism.
The dorsal surface of an organism refers to the back, or upper side, of an organism. If talking about the skull, the dorsal side is the top.
The ventral surface refers to the front, or lower side, of an organism.
For example, in a fish, the pectoral fins are dorsal to the anal fin, but ventral to the dorsal fin.
Specific terms exist to describe how close or far something is to the head or tail of an animal. To describe how close to the head of an animal something is, three distinct terms are used:
For example, in horses, the eyes are caudal to the nose and rostral to the back of the head.
These terms are generally preferred in veterinary medicine and not used as often in human medicine.
In humans, "cranial" and "cephalic" are used to refer to the skull, with "cranial" being used more commonly. The term "rostral" is rarely used in human anatomy, apart from embryology, and refers more to the front of the face than the superior aspect of the organism. Similarly, the term "caudal" is used more in embryology and only occasionally used in human anatomy. This is because the brain is situated at the superior part of the head whereas the nose is situated in the anterior part. Thus, the "rostrocaudal axis" refers to a C shape (see image above).

Manu - Manu is the newest Fairy Godmother of the Enchanted Kingdom. Her grandmother, an experienced and powerful Fairy, is retiring and Manu came to take the job with her magic wand, which is actually a colorful umbrella. She has all the qualities needed to become a great Fairy Godmother: she is brave, impetuous, she has a great heart and plenty of energy to get her hands dirty and help others. However, Manu thinks he already knows everything. Her excitement and anxiety is so great that she wants to take action right away. She runs over and ends up taking actions that only make the situation worse and then she has to double her efforts to correct her mistakes.
João - João is paranoid, afraid and scared. But his persecution mania is justified, after all, he has been the target of witches, stepmothers and giants countless times. He knows a lot about the Enchanted Kingdom. And, despite exaggerating the dangers and inflating the world's problems, it serves as a source of information in the daily life of SOS Fairy Manu.
Duke - Duke is the most rogue frog in the Kingdom! He invented his name and title to convince the world that he is a bewitched Prince. His speech makes him charming, with his cleverness and his soft words, he gets everything he wants. He has a hope that when Manu officially becomes the Fairy Godmother of the Kingdom, she will turn him into a handsome, easy-living prince.
