A Roman Slave Market

***A Roman Slave Market*** (French: ***Marché romain aux esclaves***) is an 1884 history painting by the French artist Jean-Léon Gérôme. It shows a slave auction in Ancient Rome. A group of mean-looking slave traders are bidding for a humiliated nude young woman, who shields her eyes with her arm. Gérome made several paintings with the same theme. These paintings were inspired by the Ancient Greek courtesan Phryne. In the 19th century, Russia conuered Circassia. Circassian women were said to be beautiful. They were traded as luxury slaves in the Ottoman empire. There was also the idea of Circassian beauty. Gérôme  used these ideas for some of his paintings. He  was one of the most prominent painters of the academic style, known for his Orientalist and historical pictures. The painting was displayed at the Salon of 1884 in Paris. It is now in the collection of the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore. The museum purchased  it in 1917.

Scarus frenatus

***Scarus frenatus*** is a species of parrotfish. Common names include **bridled parrotfish**, **sixband or six-banded parrotfish** or **vermiculate parrotfish**.

## Distribution

_Scarus frenatus_ is found in the Indo-Pacific region from the Red Sea to the Line Islands and Ducie Island, and as far north as southern Japan, to its southernmost location at Shark Bay in Western Australia, Lord Howe Island, and Rapa Iti in French Polynesia. It is not found in the waters of Hawaii.

## Description

This species grows up to 47 cm. It can be recognised by its patterns and colours. Its appearance changes during its life. At first, it has a reddish to brown colour, with six to seven dark, horizontal stripes along its body, and red fins. In old males, the rear end of the body and the lower half of the head are lighter. In males, the rear fins appear blue-green with a large, orange, crescent-shaped area.

## Habitat and behavior

The fish usually lives at depths of 1–25m on exposed outer reefs, but sometimes is found in very shallow water. Young fish may be found in lagoons living within the rubble and coral of the reefs.  The species usually lives by itself. While feeding, it may join schools of mixed species.  It feeds on algae growing in the benthic zone.

Attack of the Dead Men

The **Battle of Osowiec Fortress**, commonly known as the **Attack of the Dead Men**, was a battle fought in the First World War between the German and Russian Empires on 6 August 1915 in the territory that is now the modern-day Poland. The battle gained its nickname due to the Russians looking zombie-like corpses in the battlefield after being attacked by chemical and biological weapons from the Germans. Most of them even coughed out of blood and organs which is terrifying and brutal.

**Veronika** is a pet brown cow in the Austrian town of Nötsch im Gailtal. She has been observed using tools to scratch herself and is believed to be the first cow to be documented doing so.

Haoramhal

**Haoramhal** (), also known as **Haoramhan** (), was a prince of the Khuman dynasty of the Khuman Kingdom. He lived during the reign of King Yoithong-ngai and Queen Nganurol Kaireima. Haoramhal is known mainly for his role in a royal family conflict involving a sacred necklace. He is mentioned in the Khuman Kangleirol text and other ancient Meitei literature.

## Background

Haoramhal was the eldest son of King Yoithong-ngai and Queen Nganurol Kaireima. He had two younger brothers:

- Haoramyaima, the middle son

- Haoramton (also called Haoramtol), the youngest son

The meanings of their names reflect birth order in the Meitei language:

- -hal / -han means the eldest

- -yaima means the middle

- -ton / -tol means the youngest

## Necklace tradition

King Yoithong-ngai once obtained a beautiful necklace found hanging from a tree in a forest. In different versions, the necklace was either discovered by the king himself or brought to him by the royal priest Thoiba. The necklace was given to the queen and later shared among the three sons.

The parents decided that the necklace would be worn by each son in rotation, changing from one son to another each day.

## Visit to the Luwang Kingdom

One day, the king of the Luwang dynasty invited the Khuman royal family to a feast for the inauguration of his new palace. Haoramhal and his brother Haoramyaima wanted to attend wearing their best clothing.

That day was the turn of Haoramton to wear the necklace. Haoramton was away from home at the time. Haoramhal asked his mother for permission to wear the necklace for the event. At first, she refused, stating it was Haoramton’s day. Haoramhal then offered to give his own future turn to Haoramton in exchange for wearing it that day. The queen agreed.

Haoramhal wore the necklace and traveled with Haoramyaima to the Luwang Kingdom.

## Attack by Haoramton

After learning that the necklace had been taken, Haoramton became angry. He waited for his brothers on their return journey, hiding among trees and carrying a royal sword.

When Haoramhal and Haoramyaima returned, Haoramton launched a sudden attack. He severely wounded Haoramhal, killing him, and forcibly took back the necklace by harming him with the sword.

### Aftermath

The attack deeply affected the royal family. Witnessing the violence, Haoramhal's middle younger brother, Haoramyaima, feared for his own life and fled from the Khuman kingdom to the Moirang kingdom, where he later took refuge.

Lithium hydride

**Lithium hydride** is an ionic compound made of lithium and hydride ions. It has a high melting point (around 688.7 °C), but lower than most ionic compounds due to less electronegativity difference than other ionic compounds. The chemical formula is LiH. It has a molar mass of around 7.95 g/mol, making it the lightest ionic compound.

## Formation and reactions with lithium hydride

When lithium metal reacts with hydrogen gas (usually above 600 °C with the reaction going quickly), it makes lithium hydride.
- The balanced chemical equation is:

When lithium hydride reacts with water, it makes lithium hydroxide and hydrogen gas.

Battle of the Tishrin Dam (2024–2025)

## Battle

advances and capture of the Tishrin Dam==
The Manbij Military Council of the SDF launched an offensive against the Syrian National Army (SNA) near the Tishrin Dam on 23 December 2024. The SDF captured several villages southeast of Manbij.

On 24 December, SDF forces advanced from the Jirah Air Base along the west bank of the Euphrates toward Al-Khafsah and into the Abu Qilqil Subdistrict. Fighting also erupted near the Qarah Qawzak bridge, and a spokesperson for the Women's Protection Units (YPJ) stated their fighters were within 11 km of Manbij city center.

On 26 December, Turkey claimed the SNA had seized the dam, but SDF spokesperson Ferhad Şamî denied the claim and released video footage showing the dam remained under SDF control.

Clashes continued near Najm Castle and in the Abu Qilqil direction through late December.

Between 27 and 31 December, the SDF claimed to have captured three villages west of the dam and killed Abu Fayez, a commander of the SNA-affiliated North Commando Brigade.

In early January 2025, both sides employed drones and artillery. Turkish strikes hit the sugar factory in Dayr Hafir, while the SDF shot down a Turkish Bayraktar TB2 drone in southern Kobani countryside.

Continued clashes west of the dam and near Qarah Qawzak bridge left dozens dead on both sides.

Adenomera diptyx

***Adenomera diptyx*** is a frog.  It lives in Brazil and Paraguay. Scientists think it could also live in Bolivia and Argentina.

## Home

This frog lives in Pantanal places, but it can live in many other types of places. It is good at living in places that human beings have changed. People sometimes see it in gardens. Scientists have seen it between  meters above sea level.

Scientists have seen these frogs in protected places, for example Chapada dos Guimarães Protection Area.

## Young

The male frog sits on the grass or other plants and calls to the female frogs. The female frog puts her eggs in a nest made out of bubbles in a hole underground. The tadpoles are carried to water.

## Danger

Scientists from the IUCN say this frog is not some danger of dying out. In some places people change the places where it lives with fires, to make places for cows and to make other things that people need.
Operation Metro Surge

**Operation Metro Surge** is a current operation being done by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), mostly in the state of Minnesota. It is intended to supposedly arrest or detain undocumented immigrants and/or deport them. The operation started in December 2025. It is focusing mainly on the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. The Homeland Security Department called it the "largest immigration enforcement operation ever carried out."

During the operation, two people (both age 37) were killed: Renée Good and Alex Pretti. They were both citizens of the United States that were shot to death by ICE agents, although almost three weeks apart.

## Responses

On January 9, former Governor of South Dakota Kristi Noem and Director of ICE Todd Lyons were answered in a stern manner by the members of the United States Congress. Members of Congress told them that it was not the first time federal agents were used against citizens without any provocation, and that the force was unnecessary.

On January 15 and 16, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey sternly and angrily condemned the actions of ICE in Minnesota and the Twin Cities against everybody, whether or not they had even committed a crime. Governor Walz also called it "retribution."
Jewish National Front

The ***Jewish National Front*** (Hebrew: חֲזִית יְהוּדִית לְאוּמִּית, _Hazit Yehudit Le'umit_), commonly known in Israel by the Hebrew abbreviation ***Chayil*** (חי"ל), is a far-right, Orthodox religious-Zionist company (or party), based in Israel.

## History

In January 2004, this party was founded by Baruch Marzel. For the 2006 elections to the Knesset, the _Chayil_ party and _Yamin Yisrael_ party, led by Professor Paul Eidelburg ran on a joint list with each other, but received less than the 2% minimum number of votes required to pass the threshold to receive representation.

The Leader of the _Jewish National Front_ (JNF), Baruch Marzel, used to serve as representative of Kach, later on as successor to Rabbi Meir Kahane, he ran as #2 for Herut, founded by Kleiner and Begin, for the 2003 Knesset elections.

For the 2009 Israeli Legislative Elections, the Jewish National Front merged into ultra-Orthodox Jewish far-right party, _Eretz Israel Shelanu_, which in turn joined the National Union in Israel.

Dr. Michael Ben-Ari, representative of _Chayil_ was given the fourth spot on the List, making him the first Kachnik politician to be elected after Meir Kahane and marking the first time a Kahanist party was represented politically.

Later on, the Chayil party parted ways from Shalom Dov Wolpo's political party Eretz Yisrael Shelanu, branding itself as "Otzma Yehudit".

## Position

The party called for a change in the country's electoral system so that Knesset members represent constituencies, rather than being elected on a party list system, as well as switching to a presidential system of government.

It also backed increasing Jewish immigration, limiting immigration of people who are not Jews according to Halakha, and strengthening Jewish education in public schools, and opposed a Palestinian state, citing the stance of Rabbi Chaim Zimmerman, who wrote a halakhic discourse entitled "The Prohibition of Abandoning Land in Eretz Yisrael".

Loi Kaaba (Khamba Thoibi)

**Loi Kaaba** (), also known as **Thoibi Loi Kaaba** (), is an event from the Khamba Thoibi classical epic in the Moirang Kangleirol genre of Meitei mythology and folklore. It describes Princess Thoibi’s return from exile in the Kabaw (Kabo) region and the events that followed during her journey back to the Moirang kingdom.

## Background

After Thoibi’s exile to Kabaw, God Thangjing softened the heart of her father, Crown Prince Chingkhu Akhuba. The prince sent men to bring his daughter back from Kabaw. At the same time, he secretly instructed Angom Nongban Kongyamba to forcibly elope Thoibi during her return journey.

Before leaving Kabaw, Thoibi prayed to the patron deity of the Kabaw chiefdom and thanked Kabaw Chief Tamurakpa for his hospitality. On her journey, she visited the stone on which she had earlier marked a token of her chastity. She prayed there and offered gold and silver. She also saw the staff given to her by her lover Khamba, which she had planted by the roadside. It had blossomed into a leafy tree.

## Encounter with Nongban

As Thoibi continued her journey, Angom Nongban Kongyamba and his men noticed her approaching. They announced her arrival. Hearing this, Thoibi instructed her companions to stay close if the man was Khamba, but to keep distance if it was Kongyamba. It was Kongyamba who approached her.

Thoibi pretended to be friendly and sat on Kongyamba’s red carpet. However, she placed a stick between them to maintain distance. She asked him for fruits, which he provided, but she did not eat them. She then pretended to fall ill from the long journey from Kabaw.

## Escape and reunion

Feigning weakness, Thoibi asked Kongyamba to let her ride his horse. He agreed, and she mounted the horse while Kongyamba rode in her palanquin. Suddenly, Thoibi galloped away toward Khamba’s house. He chased her but could not reach her.

Khamba received Thoibi at his home after her long exile. Both wept in joy at their reunion.

## Aftermath

Kongyamba became furious after realizing he had been deceived. He sought support from the king’s ministers to interfere in the matter. In support of Khamba, Minister Thonglen and Minister Chaoba Nongthonba sent guards to protect Khamba and Thoibi.

The issue was brought before King Chingkhu Telheiba in the Royal Court, Moirang Kangla. It was decided that the matter would be settled by marrying Thoibi to the man who could capture the tiger of Khoirentak.

Archaeotherium

**Archaeotherium** (whose name means "ancient beast", taken from the Ancient Greek words ἀρχαῖος arkhaîos, meaning 'ancient', and θηρίον thēríon, meaning 'wild animal' or 'beast.) was a type of mammal in the entelodont family; entelodonts are in turn in the artiodactyl family. Giraffes, camels, cattle, and deer are other artiodactyls that still live today. It only lived in North America between 35 and 28 million years ago during the Eocene and Oligocene eras.

### Overall Description

These animals are sometimes called "hell pigs", but they are not pigs, instead being more like hippos and whales.

Its head was large, with bony lumps on its cheeks and strong jaws for eating both meat and plants.

### Size

The biggest animals in the group Archaeotherium are a lot bigger than the smallest ones. The type species, A. mortoni, is quite small and slim. It is thought that it weighed around 150 kg (330 lb), and its skull was around 47 cm (19 in) long. The bigger kinds, those that used to be called Megachoreus, were much larger. _A. zygomaticus's_ skull was around 78 cm (31 in). _A. calkinsi_ is thought to have been stockier than other entelodonts. The biggest kind of _Archaeotherium_ was _A. trippensis._

Another league title followed in 1964.

A broken shinbone in April 1965 interrupted the career. After his return, Rapid  won two more league titles and two cup victories.

Toro (Khamba Thoibi)

**Toro** () is a woman from the Angom clan, living in the ancient Moirang kingdom. She appears in the Khamba Thoibi classical epic, which belongs to the Moirang Kangleirol genre of Meitei mythology and folklore.
She is the younger sister of Angom Nongban Kongyamba, a well-known national wrestling champion of the Moirang kingdom.

## Literary appearance

Toro is often described in contrast to Princess Thoibi, who is shown as extremely beautiful and admired by many men.

### Description and character

Toro is described as not very beautiful. She has no suitors and no admirers, which makes her feel sad because she is not loved by any man.

She is described as having curly hair. In the traditional interpretation found in the story, curly hair (sham khoi) is linked to personality traits and is seen as a sign of feelings that are not straightforward (pukchel khoi).

## Relationship with Soura

Because she had no other option, Toro often flirted with Soura, a servant of her elder brother Nongban. Soura comforted her by saying that her brother was very powerful, and that men of Moirang were afraid to approach her because of him. This statement was meant to calm her sadness.

## Scholarly interpretation

The scholar N. Tombi Singh described Toro in his 1976 work "Khamba and Thoibi: The Unscaled Height of Love". He wrote that Toro was a symbol of the untamed energy of youth, though her behavior stayed within accepted social limits. According to him, Toro may not have been extremely beautiful, but she represented a girl of her generation with normal abilities and qualities.
Mel's Hole

**Mel's hole** is an infamous urban legend that happened in Washington about a mysterious "never ending" hole found in a mansion's backyard. People suggest that I was haunted and souls were kept down there.

First revealed in 1997 on Art Bell's _Coast to Coast AM_ radio show by a caller named Mel Waters. Waters claimed the hole on his land near Ellensburg, Washington could swallow objects without a sound, revive dead animals (like a neighbor's dog), and emit beams of light, with stories even involving government cover-ups and mysterious creatures. Despite extensive searching, the hole has never been found, leading to its enduring status as a paranormal mystery.

## Body

This frog is small. The adult male frog is 22-24 mm long from nose to rear end and the adult female frog is 26-27 mm. The skin of the frog's back is brown in color with many dark marks. There are two folds of skin on each side of the body. The belly and throat are white in color. The lower parts and fronts of the back legs are yellowish in color. The iris of the eye is bronze in color.

## Home

This frog lives on the ground in places without many trees, for example next to rivers and on farms. Mostly, it lives in or near forests that have never been cut down and forests that are growing back. Scientists have seen it between  meters above sea level.

Scientists have seen these frogs in protected places.

## Young

The female frog puts her eggs in a nest made out of bubbles in a hole underground. The tadpoles grow into frogs in the nest. They do not eat food. The bag of yolk on their bodies is their only food.

## Danger

Scientists from the IUCN say this frog is not some danger of dying out. It is good at living in places that human beings have changed.
