This incident discredited the Conservative government of Harold Macmillan in 1963 in what became known as the Profumo affair.

Pavement light

**Pavement lights **are usually put into sidewalks or floors to let sunlight into a room below it. They are sometimes called vault lights or sidewalk prisms. They were much used in the late 19th and early 20th centuries when electric lighting was very expensive. Some cities are removing these lights, but others are keeping and restoring them.

## Uses

Pavement lights give sunlight into the basements below it during the day, and the basement gives light to the sidewalk from below during the night. These lights are meant to make basements more useful in cities and places where space is scarce. In places with high rent, these lights may make an area look better, which helps landlords make more money. People with these lights can also save on electricity during the day, because the lights are clear like a window, where sunlight can go through.

Many years ago, pavement lights were advertised as a way of saving on electricity costs and making places look better. Today's science has proven that they were right.

Pavement lights are also used in floors with glass roofs. They could be put in a floor below another floor with more pavement lights, letting sunlight go through more than one floor. Manhole covers were also made with pavement lights.

Most old cities have pavement lights, or at least, they have had them in the past. These lights are about 100 years old. However, some new pavement lights are being made, even today.

Me Too movement

"**Me Too**" (or "**#MeToo**", with local alternatives in other languages) is a viral two-word hashtag used on social media in October 2017 to reject sexual assault and harassment, after sexual misconduct allegations against movie producer and executive Harvey Weinstein.

The phrase “Me Too” was first used with this meaning in 2006 by social activist Tarana Burke and later popularized in 2017 by actress Alyssa Milano, who encouraged women to tweet it and share their experiences with misogynistic behavior. In the manosphere, some people described the Me Too movement as misandric.

Since then, millions of people have used the hashtag to come forward with their experiences, including many celebrities.

## Impact

Tens of thousands of women replied to Milano's tweet, including:

- Patricia Arquette
- Thora Birch
- Björk
- Gretchen Carlson
- Sheryl Crow
- Viola Davis
- Rosario Dawson
- Ellen DeGeneres
- America Ferrera
- Lady Gaga
- Heather Graham
- Sarah Hyland
- Monica Lewinsky
- Melanie Lynskey

- Christina Perri
- Emily Ratajkowski
- Molly Ringwald
- Anika Noni Rose
- Jenny Slate
- Gabrielle Union
- Jessica Valenti
- Elizabeth Warren
- Evan Rachel Wood
- Reese Witherspoon

Some men, such as actors Terry Crews and James Van Der Beek, have responded to the hashtag with their own experiences of harassment and abuse.

On November 16, 2017, US Senator Kirsten Gillibrand of New York specifically referred to "the 'Me Too' Movement" when asked about allegations of sexual misconduct by politicians such as President Donald Trump, former President Bill Clinton, Senator Al Franken of Minnesota, and Roy Moore.

The hashtag has been used in at least 85 countries.

Parisa (given name)

**Parisā** (, pronounced pə-REE-sa) is a Persian given name for girls. It means 'like a fairy'.

The very old Persian name "Parysatis" (, ) is close to this name. "Pari" can be used as a shorter form of Parisa. Pari () (said pər-REE) means "fairy" and is used as a different name than Parisa. Pari does not mean angel. "Fereshteh" () is a given name for girls that actually means angel. The Pari (or Peri) in Persian mythology are seen by people as a race of beautiful and kind supernatural fairies, who were earlier seen as evil. Risa (given name) can be used as a nickname also. This name is very different from other names (not in the top 1000 newborn names in the US in 2021).

### Historical

- Parysatis, the wife of Darius I of Persia II, king of the Persian Empire
- Parysatis II, the youngest daughter of Artaxerxes III of Persia, who was the wife of Alexander the Great.

### Modern

- Parisa Damandan, Iranian art historian
- Parisa (born Fātemeh Vā'ezi), Iranian singer of Persian classical music

Wakaleo schouteni

***Wakaleo schouteni*** is an extinct marsupial that once lived in Asia. It is closely related to the marsupial lion, _Thylacoleo carnifex_, which lived until 30,000 years ago. _Wakaleo schouteni_ is estimated to have become extinct about 19 million years ago.. It was the size of a small dog, and would have weighed about 23 kg. Scientists have estimated it is one of the oldest known members of the marsupial lion family.

The small marsupial lion has been named after wildlife artist, Peter Schouten. He has worked with paleontologists from the University of New South Wales, studying the fossils at the Riversleigh site in Queensland. They found the fossilized skull, teeth and humerus bone of the marsupial lion. At the time it lived the area would have been rainforest and it would have eaten small birds, possums and lizards.
Anusvara

**Anusvara** (Sanskrit:  __)is the diacritic used to mark a type of nasal sound used in a number of Indic scripts.
Depending on the location of the anusvara in the word and the language in which it is used, its exact pronunciation can vary greatly.

In the context of Sanskrit, anusvara may also refer also to the nasal sound itself.

- Bengali: may written as Onushshar, Onushshor, Anusbar, Onusbar, Onuswar

অনুস্বার onushshar in Bengali is written as a circle above a slanted line (ং), and represents /ŋ/. It is used in the name of the Bengali language বাংলা [baŋla]. It has merged in pronunciation with the letter ঙ ungô in Bengali. Although the onushshar is a consonant in Bengali phonology, it is nevertheless treated in the written system as a diacritic in that it is always directly adjacent to the preceding consonant, even when consonants are spaced, apart in titles or banners: বাং-লা-দে-শ bang-la-de-sh, not বা-ং-লা-দে-শ ba-ng-la-de-sh for বাংলাদেশ Bangladesh It is never pronounced with the inherent vowel "ô", and it cannot take a vowel sign (instead, the consonant ঙ ungô is used pre-vocalically).

Devanagari script, anusvara is represented with a dot (bindu) above the letter (e.g. मं).

Mirza

**Mirza** ( or ; ) is a title and name of Persian origin. It is used as a surname or prefix to identify patriarchal lineage.

It is derived from a historical  Title role of Persian origin (Mīrzā), denoting the rank of a royal  prince , high nobleman , or a military commander equivalent to a nobleman. It is usually defined in English as Prince of the blood.

Specifically, it was used as a title by and today signifies patriarchal lineage to the various Persian Empires, the Ottoman Empire, the Shirvanshahs and Circassians of the Caucasus, Mughal Empire or Muslim Rajputs of the Indian Subcontinent.[2] It was also a title bestowed upon members of the highest aristocracies in Tatar states, such as the Khanates of Kazan and Astrakhan.

## Etymology

The word Mīrzā is derived from the Persian term ‘Amīrzāde which literally means "Son of the Amīr" or "child of the ruler".[3] ‘Amīrzād in turn consists of the Arabic title ‘Amīr (english: Emir), meaning "commander" and "Prince", and the Persian suffix -zād, meaning "birth" or "lineage". Due to vowel harmony in Turkic languages, the alternative pronunciation Mortar (weapon) (plural morzalar; derived from the Persian word) is also used. The word Mirza means royalty in almost every old version of Persian, Arab, Caucasian, Turkish and Indian languages.

Variant spellings in English include mirzya, miriza, mirize, mirze, morsey, mursay, murse, meirsa, mirzey, mursi, murze, murza, mirza, myrza, meerza .

## Royal title

The titles themselves were given by the King, Sultan and Emperor (equivalent to the western Fount of honour) to their sons and grandsons, or even distant kins. Noblemen loyal to the kings also received this Title.
The title itself is derived from the title Emir. Emir, meaning "commander" or "Prince", is derived from the Semitic root "Amr", meaning "command". Originally it simply meant "commander" or "leader", usually in reference to a group of people. It came to be used as a title of governors or rulers, typically in smaller states, and usually renders the English word "Prince." The word entered English in 1595, from the French émir. It is also used in Pakistan and North India by _Muslim Rajputs_.

Advent calendar

An **Advent calendar **is a special calendar that counts the days to Christmas through the month of December. Most of them start on the first day of December, but sometimes they include the last few days of November because of the Christian advent. The advent calendar was used first by German Lutherans from 1800 to 1900, but now many Christians use them.

## Looks and use

Advent calendars have pictures on them that show either the Christian nativity scene, Santa Claus, or a winter landscape. However, there are also many different looks, such as sports or technology. They can either be made of paper, wood or fabric.

Many Advent calendars have large cards shaped like a rectangle, with little "windows" that can be opened. There are usually 24 windows on a card, one for each day from December 1 to the day before Christmas. Each window has a number, and you open one each day. For example, on December 16, you would open the window with a '16' on it.

There are sometimes pictures, poems, or even chocolate behind each window. Other calendars have Bible verses or a prayer behind the windows, which Christians use to celebrate their Advent as part of their religion. Advent calendars can also have puzzles or games behind the windows.

There are many different kinds of Advent calendars. Some are made online on social media, and some towns have made living advent calendars.
