Kannur

**Kannur** is a city and municipal corporation in the south Indian state of Kerala. It was once an ancient trading port. Enduring monuments such as 16th-century St. Angelo Fort, once occupied by European colonial forces, show the city’s significant role in the spice trade. Housed in a former palace, the Arakkal Museum highlights Kerala's one Muslim royal family. The palm-fringed sands of Payyambalam Beach run along Kannur’s western shore

## History

The earliest evidence of human habitation in the district are rock-cut caves and megalithic burial sites of the Neolithic age. The Taliparamba-Kannur-Thalassery area abounds in rock-cut caves, dolmens, burial stone circles and menhirs, all of megalithic burial order. The district was part of the Chera kingdom, which ruled most of Kerala during the first several centuries CE. Later Kannur was the capital of the Kolattiri Rajas, whose kingdom had trading relations with Arabia and Persiain the 12th century and 13th centuries.

Kannur District witnessed one of the longest and bloodiest resistance to British rule in India. This revolt led by Pazhassi Raja in the 1792–1806 period kept a large part of the district in a state of war.

Kannur District played an important role in the Indian freedom movement. The Indian National Congress, founded in 1885, established a Malabar District committee in 1908. A branch of the All India Home Rule League, founded by Dr. Annie Besant, functioned in Thalassery during this period and among its active workers was V.K. Krishna Menon. By the end of 1939, a branch of the Communist Party of India was formally established at Pinarayi, a village near Thalassery.
New Kingdom of Egypt

The **New Kingdom**, is the period in ancient Egyptian history between (1570–1070 BC). During the New Kingdom Egypt was richer and more powerful than in all other periods of its history. It includes the Eighteenth, Nineteenth and Twentieth Dynasties .

Egypt expanded far south into Nubia and held wide territories in the Near East. Egyptian armies fought ancient Armenian Hittite armies for control of modern-day Syria and Egyptian territory reached its maximum extent.

## Important Pharaohs

The Eighteenth Dynasty was ruled by some of Egypt's most famous Pharaohs including Akhenaten, Tutankhamun and Hatshepsut. Queen Hatshepsut concentrated on expanding Egypt's external trade and sent a commercial expedition to the land of Punt. Thutmose III ("the Napoleon of Egypt") expanded Egypt's army and created the largest empire Egypt had ever seen.

Amenhotep IV changed his name to Akhenaten in honor of the Aten. He started a religion based on one god, Aten.

Ramesses II ("the Great") of the 19th Dynasty tried to get back territories in the Levant that had been held by the 18th Dynasty. In the Battle of Kadesh he led Egyptian armies against those of the Hittite king Muwatalli II. He was caught in the first recorded military ambush, but won the battle.

Iconoclasm

**Iconoclasm** is a belief that people should reject religious images (like icons or monuments) by destroying or avoiding them. This is the opposite of Iconodulia, the worship of icons. Iconoclasm happens during important political or religious changes. It is generally distinct from destruction by foreigners, for example Rome in Carthage.  The term does not generally include the specific destruction of images of a ruler after his death or overthrow (_damnatio memoriae_), for example Akhenaten in Ancient Egypt.

People who support iconoclasm are called **iconoclasts**. This word is also used for people who are against established dogma or conventions. Similarly, people who revere or venerate religious images are called **iconodule**. In an Eastern Orthodox context they are known as **iconodules**, or **iconophiles**.

Iconoclasm may be carried out by people of a different religion, but is often the result of sectarian disputes between factions of the same religion. The two Byzantine outbreaks during the 8th and 9th centuries were unusual because the use of images was the main issue in the dispute, rather than a by-product of wider concerns. In Christianity, iconoclasm born out of Muslim influence in Eastern Church during Middle Ages, as a result of a misinterpretation of the text of Exodus.

In Protestantism, although the Lutheranism and Anglicanism, venerates images like Catholicism or Eastern Orthodox Church, The Protestant Fundamentalism of John Calvin, and his doctrine, Calvinism, branded the veneration of images as idolatry.
Jewish–Roman wars

The **Jewish–Roman Wars** is the name given to a number of revolts of Jews in the province of Judea in the Roman Empire. These were directed against the Roman rule.
- First Jewish–Roman War (66–73 AD) – also called the First Jewish Revolt or the Great Jewish Revolt.
- Kitos War (115–117) – sometimes called the Second Jewish-Roman War.
- Bar Kokhba revolt (132–135), also called the Second Jewish-Roman War (when Kitos War is not counted), or the Third (when the Kitos War is counted).

Further revolts by the Jews in Iudaea Province:
- War against Gallus (351), the Jewish revolt originating in Sepphoris.
- Revolt against Heraclius (613), the Jewish revolt originating in Tiberias.
Triple Zero

**Triple Zero** (**000**) is the national emergency number within Australia. If someone has an emergency situation that is life threatening or time critical, this number will connect them to a Telstra operator who will then connect them to the police, fire or ambulance service as required. 112 is a secondary emergency number that will direct calls to the Triple Zero answering point. It is against the law to use this number if there is no emergency.

## History

Before 1961, Australia did not have a national number for emergency services; each of the different emergency branches (police, fire department or ambulance) had their own number. In 1961, the Postmaster General (PMG) introduced the Triple Zero (000) number in most of the major Australian cities and by the end of the 1980s it had become nation-wide. The number Triple Zero (000) was chosen for several reasons, one of which was that it was easy to dial in darkness because the number zero was next to the finger stop on most Australian telephones.

## Possible uses

A person would dial Triple Zero (000) if they require a response from police, fire or ambulance for life threatening or time critical events.

## Procedure

When Triple Zero (000) is dialled, a Telstra operator will answer and ask the caller the following: “Emergency, police, fire or ambulance?”. The Telstra operator will then connect the caller to the required emergency service. The emergency service call taker will then ask the caller further, and send assistance as required.

Upper Egypt

**Upper Egypt** is a narrow strip of land on both sides of the  Nile that extends from modern-day Aswan to the area south of modern-day Cairo. The northern part of Upper Egypt, between El-Aiyat and Asyut is sometimes called Middle Egypt.

Upper Egypt was known as _Ta Shemau_  which means "the land of reeds." It was divided into twenty-two districts called nomes. The first nome was roughly where modern Aswan is and the twenty-second was at modern Atfih (Aphroditopolis), just to the south of Cairo.

For most of pharaonic Egypt's history Thebes was the administrative centre of Upper Egypt.

Upper Egypt was represented by the tall White Crown _Hedjet_, and its symbol was the flowering lotus.

It is in this region that the Arab Bedouin were installed before settling between Tunisia and eastern Algeria (Constantinois)

Brandenburg an der Havel

**Brandenburg an der Havel** () (Upper Sorbian: _Branibor_, Low German: _Brannenborg an de Havel_) is a town in the state of Brandenburg, Germany. It is on the banks of the Havel river. Population: 74,129 (December 31, 2005).

The town of Brandenburg is less known than the state of Brandenburg: But the state is named after the town, and so is the medieval Bishopric of Brandenburg, the Margravate of Brandenburg. Today it is a small town compared to nearby Berlin, but once it was the start of the countries of Brandenburg and Prussia.

## History

Brandenburg was only on western bank of the Havel until 1196. But even after that year the parts on either side of the river were regarded as two different towns (Old and New Brandenburg) for centuries.

In 1314 the two towns joined the Hanseatic League. In the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648) the towns were robbed and destroyed. Potsdam became the new capital, and the Royal Court left the town of Brandenburg. In 1715 the two halves of the town were merged to form a single town.

The concentration camp Brandenburg-Görden was in Görden, a suburb of Brandenburg, during the years of Nazi Germany.

After the fall of the Berlin Wall the population dropped from over 100,000 in 1989 down to roughly 75,000 in 2005 through emigration. The migration mainly affects the young people and thus the future of the city is uncertain.

Earl Hooker

**Earl Hooker** (born January 15, 1929 in Clarksdale, Mississippi; died April 21, 1970 in Chicago, Illinois) was an American blues guitarist.

### Early life

Earl Hooker was born **Earl Zebedee Hooker** in Clarksdale, Mississippi. He taught himself to play guitar around the age of 10 and began going to the Lyon & Healy Music School in 1941 soon after.

### Teen life

While a teen, Hooker played on Chicago street corners, sometimes with Bo Diddley. He also became friends with slide guitarist Robert Nighthawk, which led to Hooker playing slide guitar and some performances with Nighthawk's group outside of Chicago.

In 1949, Hooker moved to Memphis, joined Ike Turner's band, and played in the South.

Hooker made his first recordings mainly 78 rpm and 45 rpm records in 1952 and 1953 for small labels Rockin', King, and Sun. Hooker spent most of the '60s playing in Chicago clubs with his band.

### First album

In 1969 he recorded an album, _Hooker 'n Steve_, with organist Steve “Mr. Blues” Miller for Arhoolie Records. Hooker also played slide guitar on the 1962 Muddy Waters recording "You Shook Me". The 1970 album _Sweet Black Angel_, co-producer Ike Turner contain songs "I Feel Good", "Drivin' Wheel", "Country and Western", "Boogie", Don't Blot! "Shuffle", "Catfish Blues", "Crosscut Saw", "Sweet Home Chicago", "Mood", and "Funky Blues".

Scrubland

**Scrubland** is plant community with scrub vegetation. "Scrub" means low shrubs, mixed with grasses, herbs, and geophytes.

Scrublands are sometimes known as heathlands. Scrublands may develop naturally or as result of human activity. They may be the mature vegetation type in a particular region and remain stable over time, or a transitional community that occurs temporarily as the result of a disturbance, such as a **major fire**.

The mediterranean scruband of southern France, mainly Biterrois, was studied by André Lopez-Moncet and Francis Marcou and discovered that the most demonstrative animals, flowers and invertebrates are located.https://faune-flore-languedocienne.alwaysdata.net/garrigue/garrigue.html
Lower Egypt

**Lower Egypt** is the fertile Nile Delta region, which stretches from the area between El-Aiyat and Zawyet Dahshur, south of modern-day Cairo, and the Mediterranean Sea.

Lower Egypt was known as _Ta-Mehu_ which means "land of papyrus." It was divided into twenty districts called nomes. Lower Egypt was mostly undeveloped scrubland, undeveloped for human life and filled with all types of plant life such as grasses and herbs.

The climate in Lower Egypt is milder than that of Upper Egypt. Temperatures are less extreme and there is more rainfall.

The capital of Lower Egypt was Buto. Its patron goddess was the cobra goddess Wadjet. Lower Egypt was represented by the Low Red Crown _Deshret_, and its symbol was the papyrus.

Regierungsbezirk

A ***Regierungsbezirk*** is a government region of Germany in some federal states (_Bundesländer_).

_Regierungsbezirke_ are divided into districts (_Kreise_), either _Landkreise_ or urban districts: cities which constitute a district in their own right (_kreisfreie Städte_). The _Regierungsbezirk_ is governed by a _Bezirksregierung_ and led by a _Regierungspräsident_.

Not all _Bundesländer_ have this sub-division; some are directly divided into districts. Currently, five states are divided into 22 _Regierungsbezirke_, ranging in population from 5,255,000 (Düsseldorf) to 1,065,000 (Gießen):

- Baden-Württemberg: Freiburg, Karlsruhe, Stuttgart, Tübingen
- Bavaria: Oberbayern, Niederbayern, Oberpfalz, Oberfranken, Mittelfranken, Unterfranken, Schwaben
- Hesse: Darmstadt, Gießen, Kassel
- North Rhine-Westphalia: Arnsberg, Cologne, Detmold, Düsseldorf, Münster
- Saxony: Chemnitz, Dresden, Leipzig

## History

The first _Regierungsbezirke_ were created by the Kingdom of Prussia in 1808/16, which divided its provinces into 25 _Regierungsbezirke_. The _Regierungsbezirke_ of North Rhine-Westphalia are in direct continuation of those created in 1815. Other states of the German Empire created similar entities, named _Kreishauptmannschaft_ (in Saxony) or _Kreis_ (in Bavaria and Württemberg) (not to be confused with the _Kreis_ or _Landkreis_ today). During the Third Reich, the Nazi government unified the naming; since then all these entities are called _Regierungsbezirk_.

On January 1 2000 Rhineland-Palatinate disbanded its three _Regierungsbezirke_ Koblenz, Rheinhessen-Pfalz and Trier - the employees and assets of the three _Bezirksregierungen_ were converted into three public authorities responsible for the whole state, each covering a part of the former responsibilities of the _Bezirksregierung_.

On January 1, 2004, Saxony-Anhalt disbanded its three _Regierungsbezirke_: Dessau, Halle and Magdeburg. The responsibilities are now covered by a _Landesverwaltungsamt_ with three offices at the former seats of the _Bezirksregierungen_.

On January 1, 2005, Lower Saxony disbanded its four _Regierungsbezirke_: Braunschweig, Hanover, Lüneburg, and Weser-Ems.

In 2005, North Rhine-Westphalia planned to abolish its five _Regierungsbezirke_ and create three self-government entities. The old, "Prussian-style", Regierungsbezirk had no self-government organs.
Flora family

The **Flora family** of asteroids is a big group of S-type asteroids in the closer part of the main belt, whose origin and properties are not well understood right now. About 4-5% of all main belt asteroids belong to this family.

Because of its poorly defined edges, and the location of Flora itself near the edge, this asteroid group has also sometimes been called the **Ariadne family**, when Flora did not make it into the group during an analysis (e.g. the WAM analysis by Zappala 1995).

## Characteristics

The biggest member is 8 Flora, which mesures 140 km in diameter, and takes up about 80% of the total family mass. Nevertheless, the parent body was almost for sure destroyed by the impact/s that made the family, and Flora is probably a gravitational aggregate of most of the pieces. 43 Ariadne makes up much of the remaining mass (about a further 9%, with the remaining family members being fairly small, below 30 km in diameter.

## Unrelated asteroids

Because of the high background density of asteroids in this part of space, one might expect that a great number of asteroids unrelated to the collision that made the family would be present. However, few have been found. This is because unrelated asteroids are hard to distinguish from family members because the family is of the same spectral type (S) that dominates the closer main belt overall. The few unrelated asteroids that have been found are all small (Florczak _et al._ 1998, and also by inspection of the PDS asteroid taxonomy data set  for non S-type members.) They include 298 Baptistina, 422 Berolina, 2093 Genichesk, 2259 Sofievka (the biggest, with a 21 km diameter), 2952 Liliputia, 3533 Toyota, 3850 Peltier, 3875 Staehle, 4278 Harvey, 4396 Gressmann, and 4750 Mukai.

IG Farben

**IG Farben** (short for Interessen-Gemeinschaft Farbenindustrie
AG), was a group of German chemical companies formed in 1925.  _Farben_ is German for "paints", "dyes", or "colors".

Initially most of these companies produced dyes, but soon began to do more advanced chemistry. The founding of IG Farben was a reaction to Germany's defeat in World War I. IG Farben held a near total monopoly on chemical production.

IG was the company which produced chemical weapons which were available to the Wehrmacht in WWII. These included nerve gases which were never used against the allied armies for the reason that the Allies were though to have the same capability. However, Zyklon B was used in the Holocaust to murder Jewish prisoners. The SS was an authorized applier of the chemical.
Sukarno

**Sukarno** (6 June 1901 - 21 June 1970) was the first President of Indonesia. He helped the country win its independence from the Netherlands. He was President from 1945 to 1967, presiding with mixed success over the country's rough switch to independence. Sukarno was forced to resign by one of his generals, Suharto. Suharto formally became President in March 1967.

The spelling "Sukarno" has been official in Indonesia since 1947. It is still common to see the older spelling **Soekarno**, mainly because he signed his name with the old spelling. Official Indonesian presidential decrees from 1947 - 1968, however, printed his name using the 1947 spelling.

Indonesians also remember him as ***Bung_ Karno** or ***Pak_ Karno**. Like many Javanese people, he had only one name; in religious contexts, he was occasionally referred to as 'Achmad Sukarno'.
