Anga Lipi

A historical writing system called ***Anga Lipi***  existed. The Buddhist scripture "**Lalitvistar**" mentions the Anga Lipi, stating that it was one of the 64 scripts that Lord Buddha was aware of.

## History and Etymology

An old Sanskrit Buddhist text called the "Lalitvistar" makes reference to the Anga Script and lists Anga Lipi very early among the 64 scripts that the Buddha is known to have known. While some of the sixty-four letters listed in "Lalitvistar" were believed to be legendary by Arthur Coke Burnell, he believed that several, such as Dravid, Anga, and Banga, were real despite not emerging as separate alphabets until the ninth or tenth century CE.[3] (Burnell considered this section to be an afterthought.)

## Qualities and contrast

Bengali and Anga Lipi scripts may have sprung from Brahmic, but with certain regional traits.This lends credence to the theory that local traits were still being developed in alphabets from previous times

It shows how regional variations of Indian alphabets were first developed.

## Relationship with Angika

It is said to be the ancient writing system or script for Angika which was than known by its historical name Aangi. Various sources were gathered by Archaelogical Survey of India (ASI) during excavation in Banka and Bhagalpur.

Brook stickleback

The **brook stickleback** (_Culaea inconstans_) is a stickleback that is distributed across the US and Canada. It is the only species in the monotypic genus ***Culaea***. They are preyed upon by smallmouth bass and northern pike.

Small populations are scattered throughout the Mississippi-Great Lakes basin extending to Colorado, New Mexico, Kentucky, Tennessee, etc., but sometimes, these places don't have these freshwater fish.

## Description

The brook stickleback has a small, compressed, and oblong-shaped body with a slim caudal peduncle and a fan-shaped tail. It can grow to a length of 3 to 5 cm (1.2 to 2.0 in). It has swollen lips resembles the ninespine stickleback in appearance but only with five, or occasionally six, dorsal spines. It also lacks lateral bony plates.

### Colouring

The colouring is grayish or olive green throughout the year with lots of indistinct mottling. During the spawning season, males are nearly black and females have darker and lighter patches.

## Distribution

_Culaea inconstans_ occurs throughout the southern half of Canada and the northern part of the eastern United States. It is one of the smallest fishes in the region.

Brackish water populations are extremely rare but possible. In Nebraska, brook sticklebacks are generally found in small streams in the northern portion of the state. They've been in Nebraska since the 1900s.

### Introduction in Europe

The brook stickleback is normally found in North America, but it has also been introduced in Europe. These little creatures were brought in upper drainage of the River Inn in Bavaria. In the 1960s, they were introduced alongside the genus _Micropterus_ to Lohjanjärvi in southern Finland.

Acanthopleurus

***Acanthopleurus*** is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish that lived during the early Oligocene epoch. It is a relative of the modern triplespines. It's from the Oligocene of Glarus, Switzerland.

According to the fossils, _Acanthopleurus_ may have looked long in appearance. The body was probably laterally compressed. However, very little is known about this prehistoric fish.

R-Stroy

**R-Stroy** is a Russian construction company, founded in 2022.  It has a large contract with the  Russian Ministry of Construction to rebuild the city of Mariupol in Crimea. Its contract, worth  $37million is for 40 projects. They include the refurbishment of the Illichivets Stadium, the rebuilding of two university campus<nowiki/>es and the reconstruction of dozens of residential buildings in the Left Bank.   90% of the residential buildings in the city were damaged or destroyed in the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.

The majority owner, Nikolay Milkis, is a former deputy governor of a Siberian province. Milkis worked for pharmaceutical giant R-Pharm when R-Stroy was founded.  R-Pharm  was founded by Alexey Repik, known in Russia as one of the “kings of winning government contracts,” according to Forbes. Repik was placed under sanctions in the UK in February 2023 for his “close working relationship with Putin”.  Ivan Sibirev  in March 2023, acquired 40% of R-Stroy.  The other shareholders are Konstantin Nuriev, who founded the company and retains 5%, and Valeriy Zolotukhin, who bought 5% in March 2023.  Zolotukhin is also the general director of hospital construction company Petrusco, which is owned by Daeva, Repik’s mother.
Kleene star

In mathematical logic and computer science, the **Kleene star** (or **Kleene operator** or **Kleene closure**) is a mathematical process or operation on sets of numbers, characters (like letters) or symbols. It is often used for regular expressions.

As an example, if we take a set of numbers _or_ characters and call it , and create a never-ending infinite list from all the numbers/characters of that set, with all the combinations that are possible by _reusing_ **any** of those numbers/characters, even _multiple_ _times_, then we have created the Kleene star of . So, given a set, it's the set of all string combinations of members of that set, **including number or character reusage**.

Characters can be reused unlimited times, which is why the list is infinite.

## Example

Let's create a set called V, and put the symbols a and b in it.

V = {a, b}

So here's the Kleene star applied to that set of characters:

- {"a", "b"}<sup>+</sup> = { "a", "b", "aa", "ab", "ba", "bb", "aaa", "aab", ...}.
Wuzhiqi

**Wuzhiqi** or (Chinese: 巫支祁) is a thing from Chinese stories about strange things. Stories can say Wuzhiqi is a water monkey spirit. People started writing about it in the 9th century. According to a legend, it came out of the water when Emperor Yu was fighting floods. It looks like a monkey with a white head and blue body, and it can stretch its neck very far. Some stories say it is as strong as many elephants and can move very fast.

The earliest story about Wuzhiqi is from a book written in the Tang dynasty. It talks about a fisherman meeting a monkey demon with a black body and white head in the Huai River. Another old book from the Song dynasty says Wuzhiqi lived in the Huai River and Emperor Yu fought it and won. The Wuzhiqi was trapped under Turtle Mountain to stop floods. Sometimes Wuzhiqi looks like a woman and has other names, for example Guishan Shuimu and Sizhou Virgin.

## Mythology

The first full story about Wuzhiqi was in a book called _Li Tang_ from the Tang Dynasty. It said Wuzhi Qi looked like an ape with a long neck, strength like nine elephants, and fast speed. Legend says that, when King Yu tried to stop floods, he met Wuzhiqi, who caused trouble in the Huaihe River. After a big fight, King Yu used an iron rope to capture Wuzhiqi. Another book, _Supplement to the History of the Tang Dynasty_, also talked about Wuzhiqi. Some scholars think Wuzhiqi's story might be connected to a tale called "Xia Yao" from Yu Town. People in the mountains near Taihu Lake still tell the story. Over time, the legend of Wuzhiqi changed. In the Southern Song Dynasty, a Buddhist Wuzhiqi story appeared, and Wuzhiqi started to be in stories with the Jellyfish Empress. Later, the story changed into dramas and operas, like _The Great Sage of Sizhou Drops the Jellyfish_. When the Huaisi River Basin flooded, more people wanted to hear stories about like these, and different stories spread to many places.

## Sun Wukong

In some ways, Wuzhiqi is like Sun Wukong (Monkey King), the main character in _Journey to the West_. Some think he might be one of Sun Wukong's early forms. Eiichiro Ishida says this is because monkeys and water are connected and that Wuzhiqi's story involves being tied up and sealed away, which relates to water legends.

In the 1920s, Lu Xun said Sun Wukong's appearance was taken from Wuzhiqi. He believed that storytellers gave Wuzhiqi's powers, like being very fast and strong, to Sun Wukong. Lu Xun also said there was a old drama where Wuzhiqi is called Sun Wukong's sister. Hu Shi did not agree. He said Sun Wukong came from Hanuman, a monkey god from the South Asian epic _Ramayana_. Scholars argues about who was right. Later, some scholars said that Sun Wukong's character is a mix of different influences, including Wuzhiqi and Hanuman.

Halmasti

**Halmasti** or the **Celestial Hound** is a large horse-sized evil hound in Chitrali mythology of northern Pakistan. It is connected to the heavens, showing by its name, _halmasti_, which means 'thunder' in Khowar. The Halmasti is said to be a large wolf with dark red fur, long limbs and a large mouth. Some stories say it can even breathe out fire.

According to Chitrali stories, Halmasti only appears in places where either a baby is born or someone has died. People believe that these places shouldn't be left empty for seven days and nights; during this time, Quranic recitations should encircle the dead, while newborns should be sung lullabies.

People were very careful around babies because they thought Halmasti might hurt them. That's why they wouldn't leave babies alone, and if they really had to, they would put something made of iron, often a knife or a blade, under the baby's pillow. It was believed that the Halmasti hated and avoided the metal and that iron was its weakness.

## Name and Origin

Chitral is a place where many different cultures meet. It is in the middle of West, Central and East Asia. Chitrali mythology is a mix of stories from Iranic, Turkic, and Chinese cultures, along with its own local stories.

The origin of Halmasti is believed to be in ancient Sumer where it was known as a female demon _Littu_. Later, Semitic people called it _Lillith_, spreading throughout European stories as a child snatcher. Iranic people called it _Al_ or _Hal_, a witch who snatched children. In the Turkic world, _Al-Basti_ hunted guilty souls. The name Halmasti comes from the Turkic word "Al-Basti," but its description differs. Chitrali stories say Halmasti is like the Tiangou (Heavenly Dog) from ancient Chinese tales. It was a celestial hound that came from the sky with thunder and lightning to eat the sun and moon, causing eclipses and mischief among children.

## Mythology

The Halmasti is a large creature, like a dog or a wolf, with dark red fur and a huge size. It's often linked to birth and death, making it a symbol of darkness. Because of this, people in Chitral were afraid of it and took precautions. Seeing a Halmasti was thought to bring bad luck.

Because people feared the Halmasti, they took different actions when someone died or a baby was born. When a baby was born, it was never left alone. But if there was an emergency and the baby had to be left alone, people would put an iron weapon under the baby's bed to keep the Halmasti away. They believed that iron scared the Halmasti and kept it away.

When someone died, the Halmasti often came to where the body was washed or buried. Because of this, people didn't leave those places for seven days. They stayed there and recited the Quran in circles to keep the Halmasti from descending.
Rabab Al-Kadhimi

**Rabab Al-Kadhimi** (, also known as **Rabab Al-Kazimi**; 30 July 1918 – 1998) was an Iraqi poet who wrote about women's rights and a dentist. She is also known for her contributions to women's poetry.

## Early life and career

Rabab al-Kadhimi was born in Cairo on 23 August 1918. Her father, the Iraqi poet , supported her interest in poetry. Her mother, Aisha, from Tunisia, died when Rabab was ten years old. Her father's support encouraged her to write, and she started publishing her poems in Egyptian magazines during the 1920s and 1930s. Some of her poems were so political that both she and her father got threats from Egyptian authorities. Her father died when she was eighteen, and soon after, she was invited to Iraq to join a memorial for him. She later joined the Princess Fawzia School in Egypt in 1936, funded by the Iraqi Ministry of Education.

After returning to Egypt, Al-Kadhimi married Hikmat Chadirji and had a son. However, in 1950, she decided to go on education and started dentistry education. She was educated at Georgetown University Hospital in Washington, specializing in pediatric dentistry (dentistry for children).

Polypedates otilophus

The **bony-headed Rhacophorus**, **Bongon whipping frog**, or **file-eared tree frog** (_Polypedates otilophus_) is a frog.  It lives in Borneo. People have seen them from sea level to 1000 meters above sea level.

The adult male frog is 64-80 mm long from nose to rear end and the adult female frog is 82-97 mm. The skin of the frog's back is brown or yellow or gray or yellow-brown in color. The belly is nearly white in color. Each frog has thin black stripes on the back of its head. There are stripes and dots on other parts of the body and thicker stripes on the back legs. The iris of the eye is yellow-gray in color and the pupils go side to side and open up and down.

The tadpoles are yellow-green on top and silvery white on the belly. Some of them have yellow spots on their dorsal fins. The tadpoles become the same color as adults after their hind legs begin to grow but before their front legs grow.

This frog lives in forests. It can live in trees or smaller woody plants. The female frog lays eggs in foam nests on leaves 30 cm over rain pools. When the eggs hatch, the tadpoles fall into the rain pool or stream. This frog can live in places that human beings have changed, such as palm oil farms.

This frog eats insects and other animals without bones, such as tree crickets. Sometimes this frog will eat smaller frogs.

Scientists believe this frog is not in danger of dying out but there are fewer of them than there were because human beings change the places where it lives by cutting down the forest. But scientists have seen that this frog can live in places where humans have cut down only a few trees at a time.

Human beings used to catch this frog to sell as pets, but the frogs usually died.

This frog can have a smell that humans do not like.
