## Articles

In it, he criticized Milo Yiannopoulos, Steve Bannon and Donald Trump and accused them of being too close to the alt-right. In the same article Knowles criticized the alt-right for racism and anti-Semitism. He said it went against the ethics and morals of Christianity.

## Videos

Since then Knowles filmed a Prager University video called “What is the Alt-Right. Knowles said that the alt-right actually had much more in common with left-wing politics than with right-wing politics. Knowles wrote a book called Reasons to Vote for Democrats about all the reasons to vote for the Democratic Party of the United States and the book had no words in it as a joke. It was praised by Ben Shapiro and Donald Trump.

Knowles also filmed a Prager University video called “Control the Words, Control the Culture”. It is about how language can be used as a political tool.  And inspired by that video, Knowles wrote a book called Speechless: Controlling Words, Controlling Minds.

He also filmed a Prager University video called Conservatives Are the Real Environmentalists in which he says that right-wing politics are better for the environment than left-wing politics are.

1. Versus 4:
1. Versus 5:

Johann Adolf Hasse

**Johann Adolf Hasse** (also spelled **Johann Adolph Hasse**; baptised 25 March 1699  16 December 1783) was a German composer, singer, and music teacher. He was an important opera composer in the 18th century.

### Early career

Hasse was born in Bergedorf, near Hamburg. His father and grandfather were organists. He studied in Hamburg from 1714 to 1717. In 1718 he joined the Hamburg State Opera. He was a tenor singer. In 1719, he started working in Braunschweig. He performed operas written by Georg Schürmann, Francesco Conti and Antonio Caldara. His own opera, _Antioco_, was performed in Brunswick in 1721. It is his only opera which is written in the German language.

He might have left Germany in 1722. He went to Naples. In Naples, he converted (changed his religion) to Catholicism. He learned to write music and counterpoint with Alessandro Scarlatti. Hasse's first opera in Italy was _Il Sesotrate_. It was performed on 13 May 1726. The opera was a success. It made him a famous composer and musician.

### Dresden and Venice

In 1730 Hasse visited Venice. He married Faustina Bordoni, an opera singer. His opera _Artaserse_ was performed there. It was his first opera which uses Metastasio's text. The opera was a success.

He became the _Kapellmeister_ of the Dresden court in around 1730. He arrived at Dresden in 1731. His employer was King August II of Poland. He wrote operas and church music in Dresden. In Dresden, he wrote the opera _Cleofide_. The opera uses text by Metastasio. Johann Sebastian Bach and his son Wilhelm Friedemann Bach may have watched the opera's first performance. On the next day, Bach performed on the organ. Hasse might have watched Bach play the organ. Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach said that his father and Hasse were good friends.

As part of his job, Hasse did not have to stay in Dresden. From 1733 to 1734 he stayed in Italy. He wrote music for the Ospedale degli Incurabili, an orphanage in Venice. He also went to Vienna. He taught Archduchess Maria Theresa of Austria how to sing. Hasse came back to Dresden in December 1733. He wrote new operas. He also wrote some church music. In 1734, the king of Poland went to Warsaw. Hasse went back to Italy. He stayed in Italy until 1737.

He went back to Dresden in 1740. He wrote the operas _Antigono_ and _Ipermestra_. The text for these operas were written by Metastasio. Hasse and Metastasio became good friends. They wrote many operas together.

### Last years

Hasse moved to Venice in 1773. He taught singing and wrote music for the Incurabili. He died in 1783. People forgot about him after he died.

Bride kidnapping

**Bride kidnapping** is when a man abducts the woman he wants to marry. The practice is also known as **marriage by abduction** or **marriage by capture**,

Bride kidnapping (which is often shortened to **bridenapping**) has been practiced around the world,  throughout history. Peoples as diverse as the Hmong in Southeast Asia, the Tzeltal in Mexico, and the Romani in Europe have done it.

Bride kidnapping still occurs in different parts of the world. It is most common  in the Caucasus and Central Asia.

Most countries see bride kidnapping as a sex crime, and not as a valid form of marriage. In some cases, it is seen somewhere between a forced marriage and an arranged one.

In many cases, the woman will cooperate with the kidnapper, to save her face, or to save the honour of her family or her parents.

Many countries also have laws that say that this is not a crime, if the woman later marries the man. Very often, there are also customs, which see bride kidnapping as some form of tradition.

In most nations, bride kidnapping is considered a sex crime because of the implied element of rape, rather than a valid form of marriage. Some types of it may also be seen as falling along the continuum between forced marriage and arranged marriage. The term is sometimes confused with elopements, in which a couple runs away together and seeks the consent of their parents later. In some cases, the woman cooperates with or accedes to the kidnapping, typically in an effort to save face for herself or her parents. In many jurisdictions, this used to be encouraged by so-called marry-your-rapist laws. Even in countries where the practice is against the law, if judicial enforcement is weak, customary law ("traditional practices") may prevail.

Bride kidnapping is often (but not always) a form of child marriage. It may be connected to the practice of bride price, wealth paid by the groom and his family to the bride's parents, and the inability or unwillingness to pay it.

Bride kidnapping is when one man (or a man and his friends) abduct one woman.  When this is done on a larger scale (a large group of men abducting many women), this is known as raptio, and different from bride kidnapping. In the 21st century, there have been more cases of war rape, which may have elements of bride kidnapping. Women and girls abducted by groups such as  Boko Haram in Nigeria, the Lord's Resistance Army in Uganda and ISIS in the Middle East have been taken as wives by their abductors.

In some countries, there are still rituals, which involve a symbolic bride kidnapping as part of a wedding. Some say that the honeymoon is a relic of such a practice: the husband going into hiding with his wife to avoid reprisals from her relatives, with the intention that the woman would be pregnant by the end of the month.

These rifles had cartridges which were greased with the fats of animals. Many Indian soldiers believed that the grease was made with cow fat which are a holy animal for Hindu.
