Abel

Abel is a biblical figure, the second son of Adam and Eve, mentioned in the Book of Genesis. His story is an integral part of the biblical narrative and has been interpreted in various ways throughout history.

Abel is the brother of Cain. The Bible says that he was killed by his brother because his brother envied him.

Abel took care of animals, mostly sheep and goats.

When Cain gave God some of his crops as a sacrifice, God was happy. When Abel killed some of his animals for God, God was happier. Cain was angry, so he killed Abel.

## Life of Abel

According to the biblical account, Abel was a shepherd, while his brother Cain was a farmer.

Abel offered the "firstlings of his flock" as a sacrifice to God, which was pleasing to Him. In contrast, Cain's offering of "the fruit of the ground" was not accepted.

The biblical text does not provide explicit reasons for God's preference for Abel's offering.

## Murder of Abel

Cain's offering being rejected led to feelings of anger and jealousy towards Abel.

Cain ultimately killed Abel in a field, as recorded in Genesis 4:8.

When God questioned Cain about Abel's whereabouts, Cain denied responsibility for his brother's fate.

## Significance of Abel

Abel is considered the first martyr in the biblical tradition.

The story of Abel and Cain serves as a cautionary tale about the consequences of unchecked emotions and the importance of righteousness.

Abel is referenced in various religious texts, including the Bible and the Quran.

## Symbolism and Meaning

The narrative of Abel and Cain symbolizes the eternal conflict between good and evil.

Abel represents innocence and devotion to God, while Cain embodies jealousy and sin.

Auxiliary sciences of history

The **auxiliary sciences of history** are fields of study based on historical sources and items.

Many of those fields of study started between the 16th and 19th centuries. At first, they were started by students of old artifacts. At the time, "history" was thought of only as a literary skill.

In the late 18th century, the study of history became more empirical. The change was led by the Göttingen School of History. Then, in the mid-19th century, Leopold von Ranke also focused on it. The changes led to the rise of the trained historian as a skill.

The auxiliary sciences of history include but are not limited to the following:

- Archeology, the study of human activity
- Archaeography, the study of ancient documents
- Archival science, the study and theory of making and maintaining archives
- Chorography, the study of regions and places
- Chronology, the study of the sequence of past events
- Cliometrics, using economic theory and other mathematical methods to study history
- Codicology, the study of books
- Diplomatics, the study historical documents
- Epigraphy, the study of ancient inscriptions
- Genealogy, the study of family relationships
- Heraldry, the study of armorial devices
- Numismatics, the study of coins
- Onomastics, the study of proper names
- Paleography, the study of old handwriting
- Phaleristics, the study of military orders, fraternities, and award items
- Philately, the study of postage stamps
- Philology, the study of the language of historical sources
- Prosopography, the investigation of a historical group of individuals
- Sigillography, the study of seals
- Toponymy, the study of place-names
- Vexillology, the study of flags

The Signpost

***The Signpost*** is the online newsletter of the English Wikipedia. It is written by Wikipedia editors and covers news about the English Wikipedia. It includes news about important discussions, new featured articles and pictures, Wikipedia technology, and what other newspapers and journals have written about Wikipedia. It also publishes opinion articles by Wikipedia editors and sometimes news about the Wikimedia Foundation and Wikipedias in other languages.

## History

_The Signpost_ was started in January 2005 by Michael Snow. In its first edition he wrote:
> I hope this will be a worthwhile source of news for people interested in what is happening around the Wikipedia community.

Snow was _The Signpost_'s main editor (editor-in-chief) until August 2005. Ryan Lomonaco became the new editor-in-chief, but Snow still wrote articles for the newsletter until February 2008. He stopped when he was appointed to the Board of Trustees of the Wikimedia Foundation. In July 2008 he was elected Chairman of the Board. He was the Chairman for two years.

When it started, the newsletter's title was _The Wikipedia Signpost_. In 2011, the title became simply _The Signpost_. From 2005 to March 2016, _The Signpost_ came out every week. Then it changed to coming out every two weeks because it did not have enough editors. In March, April and May of 2016 it did not come out at all. As of 2019, it comes out once a month.

On April Fool's Day, _The Signpost_ sometimes publishes joke articles and pictures. Examples of joke articles from April Fool's Day 2015 are "Special Report: Pictures of the Year 2015" (with joke pictures) and "Featured Content: Stop Press. Marie Celeste Mystery Solved". Crew Found Hiding In Wardrobe".

## In other newspapers and magazines

Journalists from other newspapers and magazines have used articles in _The Signpost_ to help write their own articles.
- In 2013 "Wiki-PR's extensive network of clandestine paid advocacy exposed", a story about people secretly paying companies to write Wikipedia articles about them, was used by the _International Business Times_.
- In 2015 "Three weeks to save freedom of panorama in Europe", a story about changes to European copyright rules for photographs, was used by the German newspaper _Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung_ and the British magazine _Amateur Photographer_.
- In 2016 "New internal documents raise questions about the origins of the Knowledge Engine", a story about the Wikimedia Foundation accepting money to develop a new search engine,  was used by the German magazine _Heise_ and the American journal _Nonprofit Quarterly_.

Giannis Antetokounmpo

**Giannis Sina Ugo Antetokounmpo** (born December 6, 1994) is a Greek professional basketball player for the Milwaukee Bucks of the National Basketball Association (NBA). , Antetokounmpo's combination of size, speed and ball-handling skills led to his nickname the "**Greek Freak**". He is the 2019 NBA Most Valuable Player.

Born in Greece to Nigerian parents, Giannis did not receive either Greek or Nigerian citizenship until May 9, 2013, at the age of 18 years, 5 months, and 3 days. Antetokounmpo began playing basketball for the youth teams of Filathlitikos in 2008, at the age of 13, in Athens. In 2011, he began playing for the club's senior team. He declared himself eligible for the NBA Draft in 2013 and was selected 15th overall by the Milwaukee Bucks.

In 2016–17, he led the Bucks in all five major statistical categories and became the first player in NBA history to finish a regular season in the top 20 in total points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks (although totals are not the statistics used to determine league leaders, in which case the stat is not true; and several players have completed seasons with higher average ranks among the five statistics, such as Michael Jordan in 1987-88 and 1988-89). He received the Most Improved Player award in 2017. He has received three All-Star selections, and led the Eastern Conference in voting in 2019. He was named NBA Most Valuable Player (MVP) twice in June 2019 and in September 2020.

Bechuanaland

**Bechuanaland** was a federation of Tswana lands stretching from the territory of the Bangwato in present day Botswana to the Batlhaping area around present day Kimberley, South  Africa. The area included  large parts of what is now the North West and Northern Cape provinces of South Africa.

Bechuanaland was declared a British protectorate, in 1885, and subsequently divided the territory along the Molopo River.

The areas to the South of the Molopo became British Bechuanaland and would later be handed over to the Cape Colony, which in 1910 was part of the two British colonies, Cape Colony and Natal, which united with the Boer republic's Transvaa<nowiki/>l and Orange Free State to form the Union of South Africa.

The territory of modern-day Botswana, North of Molopo became Bechuanaland Protectorate until independence in 1966.

Great Britain offered protection against the Boer Republics after the Boers invaded Bechuanaland in the early 1880s establishing Stellaland and Goshen within Bechuanaland around present day Vryburg, South Africa.

The Christian missionary John MacKenzie of the London Missionary Society convinced Bangwato ruler Khama III and other Tswana rulers to seek Protectorate status and the Warren Expedition was dispatched from the Cape in 1885 to remove the Boers from Stellaland and Goshen and proclaim Bechuanaland a British Protectorate.

It had a territory of approximately .

After the British divided Bechuanaland into two, the capital of Bechuanaland Protectorate now fell outside its territory: It was the modern-day city of Mahikeng, then called Mafeking, in South Africa.
Great Flood of 1951

In mid-July 1951, heavy rains led to a lot of water in the Kansas River. Flooding happened in the Kansas, Neosho, Marais Des Cygnes, and Verdigris river basins. There was more than $935 million in damage in eastern Kansas and Missouri in June and July 1951. Adjusting for inflation, it would be nearly $8.52 billion in 2016. The flood killed 17 people. It caused 518,000 people to move somewhere else.

## Flood

The flood in Kansas started in May. It started with the flood of the Big Creek, (a tributary of the Smoky Hill River) in Hays. It flooded after eleven inches of rain in two hours. The creek overflowed. It flooded Hays (where Fort Hays State University is) in four feet of water. It flooded the Fort Hays State University campus. It caused people to move from the barracks (by families of the G.I. Bill) and dorms to the Stadium's third floor. The Stadium's third floor was still dry. Dr. Charles F. Wiest, Emeritus Professor of Philosophy and Religion, and his seven-year-old daughter died. They died when their home caved in with the weight of the water. He was saving important documents in his basement. All records at the college were ruined. No graduation was held on the appointed date of May 23. Graduates were mailed their diplomas a month later.

There were no warning sirens in Hays. Two police officers drove up and down the streets. They had their sirens on, and they shouted for people to evacuate. They are believed to haven saved many people's lives.

The worst starting damage by the flood crest was to Manhattan and Ft. Riley. Barracks at the fort were destroyed. In Manhattan, the downtown business district was under 8 feet (2.4 m) of water and 2 people died.  After this, Topeka and Lawrence were also damaged by the same crest. About 24,000 people were evacuated from Topeka.
