Scarab

**Scarabs** are stout-bodied beetles; most are brown or black in colour, but many, generally species that are diurnally active, have bright metallic colours, measuring between 1.5 and 160 mm (0.059 and 6.3 in). The antennae of most species superficially seem to be knobbed (capitated), but the several segments comprising the head of the antenna are, as a rule, lamellate; they extend laterally into plates called lamellae that they usually keep compressed into a ball. Then, when following a scent, such a beetle fans the lamellae out like leaves to sense odours.
Mike Guzovsky

**Michael Guzovsky**, commonly called **Mike Guzofsky** (Hebrew: מייק גוזובסקי) and **Yekutiel Ben-Ya'acov** (Hebrew: יקותיאל בן-יעקב) is an American-Israeli far-right activist and former politician.

He settled at Kfar Tapuach, an Israeli settlement in the West Bank.

Guzovsky used to work for the Jewish Defense League, later on climbing the ranks of Meir Kahane's Kach movement.

He and several other American immigrants stepped up TNT's violence in 1983 arson, beatings, and on March 4, 1984, shooting a bus of Arab workers near Ramallah, wounding six.

Guzovsky was charged with four others, one of whom was to testify for the prosecution but fled.

Ben-Ya'akov was acquitted while the others were convicted, later on continued in leadership roles at the Kahane Chai offshoot from Kach and was jailed several times in later violence..

The Anti-Defamation League reported that by after Meir Kahane died, he passed on his mantle to friends who share similar credentials to him and his Kach party, such as Benjamin Ze'ev Kahane/Ben-Ya'akov, who led Kahane Chai offshoot in the United States where they come from, demonstrated against then Prime Minister of Israel, Yitzhak Rabin and for fellow Kach activist and Jewish settler in the West Bank, Dr. Baruch Goldstein,killed 29 Palestinians and wounded more than 125 others at the Cave of Machpelah.

When Rabin was assassinated in 1995, Guzovsky stated that "Rabin was bad for Jews" and said of Yigal Amir, that "An intelligent man, one like this law student, had to act.""

He has organized peaceful resistance against the dismantlement of settlements.

According to the British Government, Guzovsky is a Jewish militant and is on the list of individuals banned from entering the United Kingdom.

Retained name

In chemistry, a **retained name** is a name for a chemical that does not follow the rules of a systematic name, but that is still allowed as a name in that system. Retained names can be trivial names or part of an older system of names.

Normally retained names are older than the rules and are used so that new work uses the same names as older work.

## Examples

The light alkanes all use retained names:  is methane (not carbane),  is ethane (not dicarbane),  is propane (not tricarbane), and  is butane (not tetracarbane). Systematic names are used for their structural analogues with heavier atoms, like disilane for .

Aromatic compounds and heterocyclic compounds commonly have retained names, as systematic names of these compounds that did not use retained names as a basis would be very complicated. Consider the following possible names for the common biomolecule purine (in its most common tautomer):
|width=25%|Retained name|
| --- | --- |
|9_H_-purine||
|7_H_-imidazo[4,5-_d_]pyrimidine||
|1_H_-1,3,4,6-tetraazaindene||
|2,4,7,9-tetraazabicyclo[4.3.0]nona-1,3,5,8-tetraene||

Imperial Majesty (style)

**Imperial Majesty** (often abbreviated as IM) is a formal style or honorific used to address or refer to monarchs and emperors of imperial states. The term embodies the grandeur, authority, and divine right traditionally associated with imperial sovereignty. The **Imperial Style** refers to the manner of presentation, ceremonial language, and visual symbolism employed by imperial courts and officials to emphasize the ruler's supreme status.

## Etymology and Usage

The phrase "Imperial Majesty" derives from the Latin _Majestas Imperialis_, and has historically been employed across various cultures to denote the highest level of royal or imperial dignity. It is distinct from other honorifics such as "Royal Majesty" (for monarchs of kingdoms) or "Serene Highness" (for lesser nobility).

The style is typically used in formal address, official documents, and state ceremonies. For example, the full titulature of an emperor may include "His Imperial Majesty" followed by the ruler’s name and titles.

## Historical Context

Throughout history, the concept of Imperial Majesty has been associated with empires such as the Holy Roman Empire, the Byzantine Empire, the Russian Empire, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the Japanese Empire. These states employed elaborate styles to legitimize their authority and reinforce the divine or semi-divine status of their emperors.

In Western traditions, the use of "Imperial Majesty" became prominent during the height of the European empires, often reflecting the monarch’s claim to universal or divine authority.

## Ceremonial and Visual Aspects

The **Imperial Style** extends beyond language to include:

- **Regalia:** Crowns, scepters, and robes symbolizing imperial authority.
- **Architecture:** Palaces and monuments designed to evoke grandeur.
- **Ceremonial Practices:** Rituals and protocols underscoring the emperor’s divine right.

## Modern Usage

Today, the use of "Imperial Majesty" is largely ceremonial and symbolic, retained by certain monarchies with historical claims to empire, such as Japan. In these contexts, the style continues to embody national identity and historical continuity.

## Notable Examples

- **His Imperial Majesty Emperor Meiji** of Japan.
- **His Imperial Majesty Kaiser Wilhelm II** of Germany (historical).
- **His Imperial Majesty Nicholas II** of Russia (historical).

Homopolymer

A **homopolymer** is a type of polymer that has only one repeating unit. Homopolymers can be broken apart into smaller pieces of one chemical species, which may or may not be the physical monomer used to make the polymer. The four most used plastics (polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, polypropylene, and polyethylene terephthalate) are all homopolymers.

## Real and implicit monomers

A homopolymer is defined based on its structure, not how that structure is made. Polyethylene terephthalate is made from two "real monomers", terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol, but these compounds always react in an alternating pattern, making an "implicit monomer" that repeats in the structure. These polymers are copolymers because they are made of multiple real chemical species, but homopolymers because the final structure can be broken down into copies of juts one piece.

Polymers made by chemical changes of another polymer after polymerisation have "hypothetical monomers". One example is polyvinyl alcohol: the hypothetical monomer is vinyl alcohol, but this enol is too unstable to polymerise. The polymer must be made by hydrolysis of polyvinyl acetate.
Vinyl alcohol

**Vinyl alcohol** is an unstable chemical compound. It is the simplest enol. Because of the tautomerism common to enols, it changes into acetaldehyde almost as soon as it is made. Because it lasts for so little time, it can't be used in chemical reactions except when made as a reaction intermediate.

Even though it can't be made or used easily, derivatives of vinyl alcohol are important ingredients in the chemical industry. Vinyl esters, which replace the hydrogen atom of the hydroxy group with an acyl group, can polymerise into vinyl polymers like polyvinyl acetate. Hydrolysis of these polymers makes polyvinyl alcohol, the homopolymer of vinyl alcohol.
Methylene

**Methylene** can mean one of three different chemical species, all with the chemical formula :
- Methylene group, one of two pieces of chemical structures
    - Methylene bridge, formula
    - Methylidene group, formula '
- Methylene (compound), chemical with the formula
Methylene (compound)

**Methylene** is a chemical compound with the chemical formula . It is the simplest carbene, a type of reactive organic compound where carbon has two chemical bonds and two non-bonded electrons.

The lowest energy form of methylene is the triplet radical state where the two electrons are in different molecular orbitals. However, the excited singlet state where the two electrons make a lone pair is very close in energy. This means that most methylene is a mixture of these two energy states. The two different forms of methylene have very different chemistry.
Copolymer

A **copolymer** is a type of polymer made from more than one monomer ingredient. Copolymers made of two, three, or four monomers are sometimes called **dipolymers**, **terpolymers**, or **quaterpolymers**.

## Types

Different types of copolymer depend on how the monomers react with each other. The Mayo–Lewis equation is a differential equation that predicts how copolymers form based on reactivity of the monomers.

### Alternating copolymers

**Alternating copolymers** have the same amount of monomers in the same order, coming together to make a single bigger repeating unit. These polymers are both copolymers and homopolymers, with the combined unit being called the _implicit monomer_ of the homopolymer.

These kinds of polymers are normally formed when the monomers do not react with themselves to make homopolymers.

### Block copolymers

**Block copolymers** have large groups of a single monomer called blocks. Blocks are themselves made up of smaller units, but these units are different between different blocks.

These kinds of polymers are normally found when the monomers are very reactive with themselves, making large homopolymer blocks that only sometimes change to the other monomer.

### Statistical copolymers

A **statistical copolymer** is a copolymer where the repeating units are not in any fixed order, but follow some rule of probability. Statistical copolymers are also often called **random copolymers**, but this formally only means polymers where the probability of finding a unit does not depend on where it is or the units near it. For these truly random copolymers, that probability is equal to the mole fraction of the monomer.

Statistical copolymers are normally made when the reactivity of the monomers to each other is similar to the reactivity of the monomers with themselves.
Rhaphanidosis

Rhaphanidosis is the act of insering a radish (ot other root) into the anus. Aristophanes mentions that it was used as a form of punishment in Ancient Greece in the 5th and 4th centuries BC. In Athens, it was used to punish adultery. Later it also seems ot have been used to punish promiscuity and  sodomy.

Aristophanes mentiones it in his work The Clouds. There is some debate, if anyone was ever punished that way. Poepl have said that it could be seen as public humiliation in general.

Rus'–Samanid conflicts (910–911)

**Rus' Tabaristan expeditions (910–911)** or **Rus'–Samanid clashes (910–911)** or **Rus'–Samanid conflicts (910–911)** began with the Russians repetitive attacks in the southern coastal provinces of the Caspian Sea (mainly targeting the port of Abiskun). Abdullah ibn Nuh was made the Governor of Ray and Tabaristan provinces at that time by Amir Ahmed but his death, allowed them to increase the intensity of their raids there.

## Conflicts of 910–911

As the Rus' people repeatedly attacked the southern coastal provinces, they plundered the wealth of the local population there.

In the year of 911, Abdullah ibn Nuh with his organized forces, led a surprise attack on the Russians; many Russians were destroyed.

However in the same year, Abdullah died. The Russians then intensified their attacks against the local populations of the southern provinces of the Caspian Sea.

## Aftermath

According to Al-Mas'udi, the Sea of Azov belongs to the Rus, and that no one else sails on its waters but them. Also according to him, the Rus' had good relationship with the Khazar rulers, in 912, allowed them to use the lower Volga to enter the Caspian Sea in order to raid the population living on its coastline in return for half the spoils. The relationships between the eastern Rus' and the Turks is further explained in Ibn Fadlan’s account.

Mabkhara

A **mabkhara** (Arabic: مبخر or مبخرة; plural _mabakhir_), also called **mujmarah** (مجمرة) is a type of incense burner found across the Muslim world. It originates in Saudi Arabia, but has seen worldwide usage especially in Turkey and Somalia.

A typical mabkhara is shaped like a cube with sides that slope inwards. The exterior of the mabkhara is usually made of hard clay or terracotta, although they may also have an exterior made of shiny metals. The height of a mabkhara can be a few centimeters to the height of a primary schooler child.

People use a mabkhara as an air freshener or perfume for their homes. The shape of a mabkhara has also been used as inspiration for minarets of mosques in Egypt during the Ayyubid period. Gigantic, functional mabakhir have also been built in the United Arab Emirates.

Roy Lyster

**Roy Lyster** is a Canadian applied linguist and Professor Emeritus of Second Language Education in the Department of Integrated Studies in Education at McGill University. He is recognized for developing the counterbalanced approach, which combines form-focused instruction with content-based and immersion language teaching. His work has shaped second language acquisition (SLA) research, especially in areas like immersion programs, corrective feedback, and blending form- and meaning-focused methods.

## Education

Lyster received his Bachelor of Arts in French Language and Literature from the University of Regina in 1979. He went on to earn a Master of Arts from the Université de Paris VII, followed by a Bachelor of Education, Master of Education, and PhD in Applied Linguistics from the University of Toronto.

## Career

Lyster spent his professional career at McGill University in the Department of Integrated Studies in Education, where he retired as Professor Emeritus of Second-language education. He held leadership roles in the Canadian Association of Applied Linguistics, serving as co-president and then president from 2004 to 2008.

## Research and contributions

Lyster's research centers on content-based second language instruction, immersion education, and corrective feedback. He advocates for a counterbalanced approach that integrates form-focused activities with content-driven learning to enhance both accuracy and fluency in second language learners.

His 1997 collaboration with Leila Ranta on corrective feedback and learner uptake in immersion classrooms is a landmark study in SLA. Often called a "milestone," it has sparked widespread research on oral feedback. The paper categorized types of feedback - such as recasts, prompts, and explicit corrections - and analyzed their impact on learner responses, influencing studies in contexts like CLIL, ESL, and foreign language settings.

More broadly, Lyster promotes strategies in immersion programs that offset content emphasis with targeted language support.

## Selected publications

Lyster's work has accumulated over 25,000 citations according to Google Scholar, reflecting his substantial influence in second language education.
