Takobeya labour

**Takobeya labour** (, Romanization of Japanese: tako-beya rōdō) was a Japanese form of work. It was a harsh system started in Hokkaido during the Meiji period. It replaced Penal labour in Hokkaido. The workers slept in accommodation huts at construction sites. The concentration huts were called "Takobeya". Takobeya workers engaged in takobeya labour without enough meals. They were oppressed as labor camps. Some also died from overwork.

In 1946, the Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers in occupied Japan banned takobeya labour.

In Japanese, "Tako" often means octopus. But Takobeya (Tako room) doesn’t necessarily mean octopus room. About Takobeya's "Tako", the original meanings is not clear.

Ludvík Svoboda

**Ludvík Svoboda** (25 November 1895 – 20 September 1979) was a Czechoslovak legionnaire during World War I and a commander of the Czechoslovak army in Russia during World War II. He was later elected as president of Czechoslovakia from 1968 to 1975.

## Early Life

Ludvík Svoboda was born in Hroznatín, Moravia, Austria-Hungary. He joined the Austro-Hungarian army in 1915 when he was 20. He was sent to the east to fight against Russia, where he was captured. Svoboda then joined the Czechoslovak legion in Russia to fight against Austria-Hungary in the battles of Zborov and Bakhmach. Upon return, he was declared a hero and joined the new Czechoslovak army in 1921.

## World War II

In early 1930, Svoboda taught in a military academy in Prague. After the Munich Agreement in spring 1939, he joined an underground organization called Obrana národa (Defence of the Nation). He also started to cooperate with the Soviet Union. Svoboda moved to Poland and established a Czechoslovak legion, but when the USSR invaded Poland from east, he was captured and sentenced to death. His allies in Moscow freed him, and he started to free people from the gulags in order to use them in his legion. He became a commander of the Czechoslovak army in the east in 1943 and fought in the battle of Sokolov in Ukraine. His position was leader of 1st Czechoslovak corps. He then fought in the battle of Dukla Pass. With trust from Klement Gottwald, Svoboda became a general in 1945 and was named a Hero of East front.

## Presidency

After the ending of the Antonín Novotný regime, in the period known as the Prague Spring, Svoboda was elected President of Czechoslovakia on 30 March 1968, on the recommendation of Alexander Dubček. He was an acceptable candidate both for Czechs and Slovaks, and was seen as a war hero and a victim of the purges of the early 1950s. People saw him as a new light of democracy and reform. However, Svoboda was afraid of the Soviet Union, because he saw all the crimes that they had committed.

Until he signed the Warsaw pact, Czechoslovakia was unable to do anything against the Russian invasion in the year 1969. He seemingly lost power in interior matters and in foreign affairs, and he couldn't trust the leadership of his political party.

During his second term, Svoboda suffered from a heart attack and was forced to resign. His succesor was G.Husák.

## Rest of his life

His health deteriorated and he spent the last years of his life in his house in Prague with his wife Irena. After his death in 1979, he was held a big national and military funeral. His funeral was not offiically organized, but thousands of people came to show their appreciation and respect. He was buried in Žižkov with the anthem of the 1st Czechoslovak corps, Směrem k Praze (Headed to Prague) playing. In 1995, his body was removed and send to his family crypt in Kroměříž.

Molecular machine

A **molecular machine**, or **nanomachine**, is any set of molecules which produce mechanical movements (output) in response to specific stimuli (input). The term is common in nanotechnology where a number of complex molecular machines have been proposed which might be a way of making a "molecular assembler". Molecular machines can be divided into two broad categories: synthetic and biological.

The 2016 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to Jean-Pierre Sauvage, Fraser Stoddart and Ben Feringa for the design and synthesis of molecular machines.

## Biological nanomachines

The most complex molecular machines are made of proteins, and found in cells.  These include 'motor proteins'. Examples are: myosin, (which does muscle contraction), kinesin (which moves molecules from the nucleus along microtubules), and dynein (which produces the beating of motile cilia and flagella). These proteins are far more complex than any molecular machines that have yet been made by mankind.

Probably the most significant biological machine known is the ribosome. Other important examples include motile cilia: "In effect, the [motile cilium] is a nanomachine [of] over 600 proteins in molecular complexes, many of which also function independently as nanomachines".

Les Demoiselles d'Avignon

***Les Demoiselles d'Avignon*** (***The Young Ladies of Avignon***) was a  1907 cubist painting by Picasso. It represents five women in a brothel. It took him nine months to paint it. Picasso gave up all attempts at traditional painting in this early cubist painting. He distorted the female figures in a way that showed the influence of African art. When the  painting was shown in his studio to a group of painters and critics, they were outraged. Henri Matisse called it a hoax and an attempt to paint the fourth dimension, The art critic André Salmon wrote: "It was the ugliness of the faces that froze with horror the half-converted". Another painter, André Derain, wrote: "One day we shall find Pablo has hanged himself behind his great canvas". It has been called one of the most significant paintings of the 20th century. The two figures on the right are shown with African mask-like features, an interest of Picasso at the time.

The find was made in Lower Cretaceous deposits in Fukuoka, Japan in 1990 by Masahiro Sato. The triangular-shaped tooth has fine serrations on its cutting edge, which is standard for a theropod dinosaur.
