Legislature of the Marshall Islands

The **Legislature of the Marshall Islands** has 33 members, elected for a four-year term in nineteen single-seat and five multi-seat constituencies.

## History of Marshall Islands

The Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI) is a country made up of 29 coral atolls and 5 small islands in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, between Hawaii and Australia.

In 1978, the people of the Marshall Islands voted to become separate from the rest of Micronesia. They made their own Constitution in 1979, which officially made the Marshall Islands a self-governing country starting from May 1, 1979.

Then, in 1986, they signed an agreement called the Compact of Free Association with the United States. This agreement gave the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI) its freedom and independence on October 21, 1986. The RMI also joined the United Nations in 1991.

## The Legislature

The Constitution of 1979 describes a government system where there is one group of lawmakers. However, the President is in charge of both the country and the government and is chosen by members of the Parliament. This setup makes the Marshall Islands' government a mix of a parliamentary and a presidential system. The Marshall Islands has a law-making group with two parts: the Nitijela, which has 33 seats filled by popular vote for four years and has the power to make laws, and the Council of Iroij, made up of 12 tribal chiefs who give advice on traditional matters.

The legal system of the Marshall Islands is based on laws from the time it was under American control, along with laws made by the local government, traditional laws, and common laws. For example, copyright, patent, and trademark laws from the United States also apply in the Marshall Islands.

Stumbling on Happiness

***Stumbling on Happiness*** is a nonfiction book by Daniel Gilbert. It came out in 2006 in the United States and Canada. It is a bestseller in the New York Times. They also translated it into more than thirty languages.

## Theme

Gilbert's main idea is that people are not good at imagining the future and what will make them happy. He says this happens because of how they see things and their thinking habits. According to him, there are three ways the imagination does not work well:

1. When people picture things in their minds, they usually add or skip details, and they might not notice that important details could be wrong or missing in what they're thinking.
1. What people imagine for the future (or remember from the past) is often more like how things are right now than how they will actually be (or were).
1. The mind doesn't realize that things will feel different when they truly happen. For example, the psychological immune system can make negative things feel not as bad as they first thought.

Gilbert also talks about 'filling in,' which means the mind often uses patterns to connect events we remember with other events we think should be part of the expected experience. This 'filling in' is something our eyes and optic nerves do too, like when they replace the blind spot in our vision with what our mind thinks should be there.

The book is made for regular people, and it tries not to use complicated words. Instead, it explains everyday mistakes in thinking by using simple experiments that take advantage of those mistakes.
Land O'Lakes

**Land O'Lakes** is an American member-owned agricultural cooperative. It is based in the Minneapolis-St. Paul suburb of Arden Hills, Minnesota, United States. It was founded on July 8, 1921. Every year it handles 12 billion pounds of milk. It is one of the largest producers of butter, cheese and dairy products in the United States.
Kenneth Noland

**Kenneth Noland** (April 10, 1924 – January 5, 2010) was an American abstract painter.

He was first an expressionist abstract painter, in the 1950s, and after, a minimalist painter, in the 1960s. He became one of the best-known American painters in the abstract style of color field. He helped in the creation of the Washington Color School movement.
Philautus kempiae

The **Tura bubble-nest frog**, **Kemp's bush frog**, or the **Tura shrub frog** (_Philautus kempiae_) is a type of frog.  It lives in India, in the Garo Hills.

This frog is about 17 mm long from nose to rear end.  There is webbed skin on the back feet but not on the front feet. There are large disks on the toes for climbing. There is a black mark between the eyes and another on the back. The belly is white with brown marks. This frog has a round nose.
Balebreviceps hillmani

The **Bale Mountains tree frog**, **Bale rain frog**, or **Ethiopian short-headed frog** (_Balebreviceps hillmani_) is a frog.  It lives in Ethiopia. Scientists have seen it 3200 meters above sea level in Harenna Forest in the Bale Mountains.

The adult male frog is about 36-39 mm long from nose to rear end and the adult female frog 45-53 mm. It has a small head and eyes for a frog. Its eardrums are hard to see.  The skin of the frog's back is thick and bumpy but the skin of the belly is thin and smooth. The skin of the frog's back is dark in color, purple or brown, with light yellow stripes on each side.  There are also light marks on the sides of the head all the way to the nose.  The back legs are also light in color, with some orange. The bottoms of the feet are light gray or peach in color. The belly is yellow in color, but it can be gray.

When scientists first wrote about this frog in 1986, there were many, but people built a highway into the place where they live in 1983. Since then, humans had built towns and farms and places for animals to eat grass.  Humans have cut down trees in the forests to get wood to build with.  All this change has been bad for the frog. It is now very close to dying out. Scientists are not sure, but they think the chytrid fungus might be making this frog sick.

Cabinet of curiosities

**Cabinets of curiosities**, also known as wonder-rooms, were collections of different objects in Renaissance Europe. These collections, starting in the 16th century, had no specific categories. They covered natural history, geology, art, and more. They were well-known before modern museums, showing the interests of their owners.

The word "cabinet" first meant furniture, not room. Objects in these cabinets could be natural specimens and artworks. Besides rulers' and aristocrats' collections, even the merchant (trader) class and early scientists made similar collections. They were like the origins of museums. These cabinets showed the curator's interests and their social status. There were two main types: princely cabinets for representation and aesthetic (beauty) appeal, and more modest (medium-sized) collections for practical (useful) and scientific purposes.

They also were entertainment, which is shown by the Royal Society's early meetings. Although educational, these exhibitions' purpose was to combine learning with entertainment.

### To c. 1600

The earliest known natural history cabinet is shown in Ferrante Imperato's Dell'Historia Naturale (Naples 1599). It showed preserved fishes, stuffed mammals, shells, and more.

### 17th century

Special cabinets belonged to Ole Worm and Athanasius Kircher. These cabinets had preserved animals, minerals, and mythical (fictional) creatures. Worm's catalog, Museum Wormianum (1655), gave information to science.

### 18th century and after

In the 18th century, Belsazar Hacquet's natural history cabinet became famous. "Green Vaults" in Dresden showed Augustus the Strong's wonders. The "Enlightenment Gallery" at the British Museum had a goal to recreate the diversity of mid-18th-century museums.

### United States

In the U.S., Thomas Dent Mutter's collection focused on medical curiousities. P. T. Barnum's American Museum and the Hobby Club in New York continued the tradition of showing curiosities.

### Declining influence

By the early 18th century, curiosities started to lose importance as Enlightenment thinkers focused on nature's patterns. Curiosities were seen as exceptions, not divine messages, and were less studied.

Carpet bombing

**Carpet bombing**, or **saturation bombing** describes the bombardment of a given area with bombs destroying as much as possible in the given area.  Like a carpet that covers the floor, bombs should cover the area. Carpet bombing is usually done by dropping a large number of unguided bombs.

Carpet bombing of cities, towns, villages, or other areas containing a concentration of protected civilians has been a war crime since 1977.  It is explained in Article 51 of Protocol I of the Geneva Conventions.

The term _obliteration bombing_ is sometimes used to describe especially intensified bombing with the intention of destroying a city or a large part of the city. The term _area bombing_ refers to indiscriminate bombing of an area and also encompasses cases of carpet bombing, including obliteration bombing. It was used in that sense especially during World War II and the Korean War.

The use of atomic weapons is automatically a case of carpet bombing in its effect, but there are no modern examples of their use. Their use against Japan in WWII was the last and only example of a real attack using an atomic weapon.

25 or 6 to 4

"**25 or 6 to 4**" is a song written by American musician Robert Lamm, one of the founding members of the band Chicago. It was recorded in 1969 for their second album, _Chicago_. Peter Cetera was on the lead vocals.

## Background

Lamm said the song is about trying to write a song in the middle of the night. The song's title is the time at which the song is set: 25 or 26 minutes before 4 a.m. (twenty-five or [twenty-]six [minutes] to four [o’clock]). Since the song has a unique title, "25 or 6 to 4", some people thought it meant the quantity of a certain drug or the name of a famous person in code.

The original recording features an electric guitar solo using a wah-wah pedal by Chicago guitarist Terry Kath, and a lead vocal line in the Aeolian mode.

## Release

The album was released in January 1970 and the song was edited and released as a single in June (omitting the second verse and most of the guitar solo), climbing to number 4 on the US _Billboard_ Hot 100 chart and number 7 on the UK Singles Chart.

## Bans

The song was banned in Singapore in 1970 because of it possibly being about drugs. The ban extended to later albums that included the song, such as _Chicago 18_. In 1993, the ban on this song was lifted, along with long-time bans on songs by other artists such as the Beatles, Bob Dylan and Creedence Clearwater Revival.

## Pop culture

The song has been used in popular media as well. It appears as an on-disc track in the video game _Rock Band 3_; the animated TV series _King of the Hill_, the 2017 movie _I, Tonya_, and the 2023 DCEU superhero movie _The Flash_.

Suri Jagek

**Suri Jagek**, meaning 'observing the sun', is the traditional Kalasha meteorological and astronomical knowledge system and practice. It's used in the Hindu Kush mountains of northwestern Pakistan to observe the sun, moon, stars, and shadows in relation to local terrain. This system helps the Kalasha people predict when to sow seeds, take care of animals, and anticipate natural disasters. It also guides their calendar, determining dates for social events, festivals, and religious ceremonies. Suri Jagek and the Kalasha culture has been declared an Intangible cultural heritage of Pakistan by UNESCO since 2018.

Suri Jagek reflects how the Kalasha people connect with their environment for a sustainable lifestyle. The knowledge is passed through stories, songs, and proverbs, adapting some aspects for modern life. Despite its visibility, younger generations may not fully appreciate its cultural importance due to the growing preference for digital weather predictions.

## Observatories

The observatories where the practice of Surik Jagek is observed is called _Suri Jagaekein_ in Kalasha language. At first, people thought it was more for one gender, as women being Pragata (Impure) could not visit the observatories, from where the rising and setting sun were observed. But later, they realized that Surik Jagek is about knowing not just the sun but also other celestial bodies. Women are seen as experts in observing the moon and stars. The Kalasha calendar is also based on this practice of Suri Jagek.
