Happier Than Ever

***Happier Than Ever*** is the second studio album by American singer-songwriter Billie Eilish. It was originally released from Darkroom and Interscope Records on July 30, 2021. Eilish co-wrote the album with her brother and frequent collaborator Finneas O'Connell. O'Connell also produced the album and played every instrument that was played in the album. Eilish cited the album during the COVID-19 pandemic as the biggest inspiration for the record.

The album is primarily a downtempo pop record. It has sparse, jazz-influenced, electropop arrangements set to mediative tempos, departing from the upbeat, trap-led sound of Eilish's debut album, _When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?_ (2019).

The album has seven singles released in promotion of the album: "My Future", "Therefore I Am", "Your Power", "Lost Cause", "NDA", the title track, and "Male Fantasy". The first three peaked within the top 10 of the US _Billboard_ Hot 100

Escaped Chasm

***Escaped Chasm*** is a free game developed by Temmie Chang, who also designed the art for the game Undertale. As a test project, it was released on April 2, 2019 for free on the website Itch.io. The game is set in an abandoned house and follows an unnamed girl whose parents never come back. Chang used the game as a way to practice using the RPG Maker MV engine.

## Gameplay and plot

The player controls an unnamed girl who lives alone in her parents' house. Without her parents, she can freely roam the house and advance through the game by writing down events in a diary. Sleeping lets the player watch a dream and continue to the next day. On the second day, the unnamed girl meets a man with a demonic look named Zera, who warns her that the house is slowly falling into chaos. As time continues, the house falls apart. Zera tells the girl that her parents are gone and offers the opportunity to save them by taking the girl to another world. Despite knowing she will lose memories of her parents, the girl accepts Zera’s offer.

## Development and release

_Escaped Chasm_ was Chang's first attempt at using the RPG Maker MV engine. Chang also had some other people help with additional music and sound design, with James Roach providing the supporting music. Her first goal was to build a story-line and practice game development to make better projects in the future. _Escaped Chasm_ was then released on April 2, 2019 for free on Itch.io. On July 10, 2020, Chang released _Dweller's Empty Path_, an RPG Maker game that takes place within _Escaped Chasm_ universe.

## Reception

People liked _Escaped Chasm_ for its animation, visuals, music, and themes. Fraser Brown of _PC Gamer_ called the game "short but striking" and noted the graphics as "lonely and often unsettling". _Rock Paper Shotgun_ Dominic Tarason called it as heartfelt and liked the odd mixture of red and blue color schemes in one of the game's cutscenes. Tarason said that it made the story feel "too real and harsh" and didn't go well with the game's pixel art. Reviewers commended Fox's music and compared the game to _Undertale_ from its similar themes and writing.

Air filter

A particulate **air filter** is a device composed of fibrous, or porous materials which removes particulates such as smoke, dust, pollen, mold, viruses and bacteria from the air. Filters containing an adsorbent or catalyst such as charcoal (carbon) may also remove odors and gaseous pollutants such as volatile organic compounds or ozone. Air filters are used in applications where air quality is important, notably in building ventilation systems and in engines.

Some buildings, as well as aircraft and other human-made environments (e.g., satellites, and Space Shuttles) use foam, pleated paper, or spun fiberglass filter elements. Another method, air ionizers, use fibers or elements with a static electric charge, which attract dust particles. The air intakes of internal combustion engines and air compressors tend to use either paper, foam, or cotton filters. Oil bath filters have fallen out of favor aside from niche uses. The technology of air intake filters of gas turbines has improved significantly in recent years, due to improvements in the aerodynamics and fluid dynamics of the air-compressor part of the gas turbines.

## Automotive cabin air filters

The cabin air filter, also known in the United Kingdom as a pollen filter, is typically a pleated-paper filter that is placed in the outside-air intake for the vehicle's passenger compartment. These filters can be particulate filters, or they can be a combination filter with activated carbon to adsorb odors and gases. It is typically located behind the glove box, under the dashboard, or within the engine compartment. Some of these filters are rectangular and similar in shape to the engine air filter. Others are uniquely shaped to fit the available space of particular vehicles' outside-air intakes.

The first automaker to include a disposable filter to keep the ventilation system clean was the Nash Motors "Weather Eye", introduced in 1940.

A reusable heater core filter was available as an optional accessory on Studebaker models beginning in 1959, including Studebaker Lark automobiles (1959-1966), Studebaker Gran Turismo Hawk automobiles (1962-1964) and Studebaker Champ trucks (1960-1964). The filter was an aluminum frame containing an aluminum mesh and was located directly above the heater core. The filter was removed and installed from the engine compartment through a slot in the firewall. A long, thin rubber seal plugged the slot when the filter was installed. The filter could be vacuumed and washed prior to installation.
Elisabeth van den Berg

**Elisabeth van den Berg** also known as **Lijsken/Lysken Becx** (1552 – 1619) was a Dutch innkeeper of _De Wilde Man_ in Helmond.

## Biography

Van den Berg was born in Helmond in c. 1552 as the daughter of Joost Janszoon van den Berg (died Helmond 1572) who worked as a city secretary (from 1547) and bailiff (from 1556) and Maria (also Margriet). She had one sister. Elisabeth van den Berg married innkeeper Jan Becx. They had at least two daughters and four sons together.

Through her marriage she became the landlady of the prominent inn _De Wilde Man_ on the market square of Helmond. At this place prominent people like the magistrate of Helmond often met. After the death of her husband, she continued the business, as is evident from the payments made to her. In 1603, captains of the garrison stayed at _De Wilde Man_. She heard that they were planning to attack Eindhoven out of dissatisfaction with the payment. Van den Berg quickly wrote a note to the _stadtholder_ of Kempenland to warn him. Due to her the attack was prevented.

Van den Berg died in Helmond in 1619.

Van den Berg is addopted in _1001 Vrouwen uit de Nederlandse geschiedenis_, a compilation of 1001 biographies of famous women of the Netherlands.

Car dealership

A **car dealership** is a business that sells new or used cars. Dealers have contracts with car makers to sell their vehicles. Many dealerships also sell spare parts and provide car repair services.

## History

The first car dealership in the United States opened in 1889 by Fred Koller in Reading, Pennsylvania. Early cars were also sold directly by manufacturers or through stores and catalogs, such as Sears.

## Car dealerships today

Most car dealerships sell cars through a franchise model, where independent businesses sell cars for manufacturers. In the United States, state laws require that new cars are sold only through these licensed dealers. Tesla is an exception; it sells cars directly to customers where allowed.

Dealerships are usually located outside city centers and have space for showrooms, repair shops, and car storage. Profits often come more from car services and used car sales than from selling new cars.

## Regulations

In the U.S., dealerships have strong legal protections. For example:
- Manufacturers cannot sell cars directly to customers.
- Opening new dealerships near existing ones is limited.
- Dealers must be compensated for warranty work based on state rules.

Some economists argue these rules increase car prices for buyers while benefiting dealerships.

## Future trends

Car makers like Audi and Mercedes-Benz are using digital showrooms and modern designs to attract customers. These stores let buyers explore cars on screens and place orders online.

Israeli invasion of Syria (2024–present)

On 8 December 2024, after the fall of the Assad regime, Israel's armored units entered Syria and the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights. They came in through the central countryside of the Quneitra Governorate with artillery fire.

After the fall of Damascus, Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that since the Syrian Arab Army had left its positions, the 1974 border agreement with Syria was not active anymore. They did this to prevent any possible threat in Syria and Netanyahu ordered the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to take over the Purple Line.

The Israeli Air Force and Navy began strikes on military targets across Syria in an operation named **Operation Bashan Arrow**.

An Israeli invasion has been going on since December 8, 2024. On that day, the Syrian Army (left or) abandoned its positions along the Purple Line (a buffer area). Israel then invaded the buffer zone between Syria and the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights. Israeli forces continued into Syria.  Places (in Syria) with military equipment of  the Syrian Army, were bombed from the air. As of 2025's first quarter, Israeli forces control some Syrian settlements along the border.

Israel has built outposts and military bases within the _Purple Line_ (or the  UNDOF buffer area); Near Jubata al-Khashab (map) and surrounding villages, that happened (February 2025).

Vakataka Conquest of North West

The history of Andhradesa, Southern Kosala, and Baghelkhand during the reign of Pravarasena I is not fully clear. The Ikshvakuu of Andhradesa stopped ruling around 290 A.D., and the Salankayana took over about 40 years later. The Nalas of Chhattisgarh and Bastar rose to power even later. It is uncertain if Pravarasena took advantage of the lack of strong rulers in the region and brought it under his control.

However, it is possible that he did and appointed his third son to rule the area. Notably, smaller rulers in Baghelkhand, like Vyaghra Raja of Ganj, continued to accept Vakataka rule even during the reign of Prithvisena I (360-385 A.D.), who is not credited with conquering this region. This suggests that Pravarasena may have expanded his influence over parts of Baghelkhand and Chhattisgarh. Additionally, the Saka rulers of Gujarat and Kathiawar, who were north-western neighbors of Pravarasena, were likely brought under his suzerainty during the early 4th century.

But the Soviets have a new offensive in plan. on the sixth the Prague offensive begins, the Soviets enter Breslau and Dresden. The Soviets were also joined with the Polish, Czechoslovak, and Romanian armies. The forces enter Czechia from the north-east border with Germany (who now has surrendered). The Soviets reach Prague on the ninth, just after noon the same day, forces from the south-east of the front link up with the forces that have already entered Prague.

during the campaign, the Czech resistance started an uprising on the fifth with the Russian liberation army (a collaborationist army that has been fighting with the Axis but now believe it is a hopeless cause) but soon the resistance betrays them and the leaders try to escape into American custody. But they fail and get executed by the Czech partisans and/or the Soviet Red Army. Meanwhile in Prague, the resistance succeeds fighting the Germans and before the Soviets arrive, the Germans surrender in Prague.

Dali Man

The ***Dali Man*** () is a fossil skull of an extinct human relative that was found in China in 1978.

Scientists do not agree about where the Dali Man fits in the human genus, _Homo_. One theory says that it was a later member of _Homo erectus_. Others say it was an early modern human, or a part of its own species, _Homo daliensis._

Scientists also debate how old the Dali Man is.

## Taxonomy

The skull has a large brow-ridge that curves over each eye, unlike the straight brow-ridges of the Peking Man. During fossilization the upper jaw was damaged and dislocated upwards, making the face look shorter then expected.

Otzma Yehudit

**Otzma Yehudit** is a religious Zionist party in Israel, founded on November 13, 2012 by former Members of Knesset (Israel's parliament) Aryeh Eldad and Michael Ben-Ari, with the former being a secular Jew and the latter an Orthodox Jew.

## Overview

Many people, including followers of the party itself of being "far-right" and "anti-Arab". Critics and certain Zionists say that the Otzma Yehudit is a successor to the Kach party banned in Israel, one of whose famous followers was American-Israeli Baruch Goldstein, who committed the 1994 Cave of the Patriarchs shooting, where 30 (including Goldstein) were killed and 125 wounded. The current leader of the Otzma Yehudit is Itamar Ben-Gvir, who served as the Minister of National Security of Israel.

## Ideology

The Otzma Yehudit puts some of these ideas into policy:

- Israeli Jewish children shall be taught to love Israel
- Jews shall settle in every region of the Land of Israel
- Compromises shall not be made with the enemies of Israel
- Israeli Jewish children shall be educated on Jewish history, heritage and tradition
- The national defence policy shall be moved from the defensive to the offensive to crush the enemies of Israel
- Diaspora Jews shall be encouraged to immigrate to Israel (_aliyah_, Hebrew: עלייה) to keep the Jewish majority of Israel's population

## Controversies

Michael Ben-Ari once called left-wing NGOs "traitors that must be oppressed at any cost [...] internal bacteria [...] enemies of Israel".

Itamar Ben-Gvir is accused of hanging a picture of Baruch Goldstein in his living room, and disrespecting the victims of the Cave of the Patriarchs shooting. Ben-Gvir rejected the accusations:

In a consultation with Israel's President Isaac Herzog, Ben-Gvir rejected accusations of racism:

On March 23, 2025, Ben-Gvir said in his capacity as Israel's national security minister that Hamas' food reserves and power supply should be bombed due to their failure to release all surviving hostages. He added that there should be no negotiations with Islamist terrorists.
