Malagasy language

**Malagasy** is an Austronesian language that is spoken in Madagascar. It is related to languages such as Indonesian, Javanese and Maori. That means that Malagasy is related to languages spoken in Indonesia. This is probably because immigrants from Indonesia came to Madagascar until A.D. 1400. It is the only Austronesian language spoken in Africa.

## Writing 
Malagasy is written using the English alphabet, but without c, q, u, w and x. No accents or other diacritical marks are used. It was invented by David Jones as a replacement for Sorabe (a type of Arabic script). Most letters have their IPA values. However, y and i are both pronounced like /i/ and h is often silent. A few consonant digraphs (tr, dr, ts) are used.

## Examples of words 
Manoa ahoana - Hello

Veloma - Goodbye

Nenibe - Grandmother

Dadabe - Grandfather

Leopold and Loeb

**Leopold and Loeb** were Nathan Freudenthal Leopold, Jr. (November 19, 1904&nbsp;– August 29, 1971) and Richard Albert Loeb (June 11, 1905&nbsp;– January 28, 1936).

They were two wealthy University of Chicago law students who kidnapped and murdered 14-year-old Robert "Bobby" Franks in 1924 in Chicago.

The duo was motivated to murder Franks by their desire to commit a perfect crime. They committed the murder – characterized at the time as "the crime of the century". They wanted to show that they were very intelligent. They believed this allowed them to carry out a "perfect crime" without consequences.

Once arrested, Leopold and Loeb hired Clarence Darrow as counsel for the defense. Darrow’s summation in their trial criticized capital punishment as retribution, rather than rehabilitation. Leopold and Loeb were sentenced to life imprisonment. Loeb was killed by a fellow prisoner in 1936; Leopold was released on parole in 1958.

The Leopold and Loeb crime has been the inspiration for several works in film, theatre, and fiction, such as the 1929 play *Rope* by Patrick Hamilton, and Alfred Hitchcock's take on the play in the 1948 movie of the same name. Later movies such as *Compulsion* and *Swoon* were more accurate portrayals of the Leopold and Loeb case.

Salustiano Sánchez

**Salustiano Sánchez-Blazquez** (8 June 1901 – 13 September 2013) was a Spanish-born American supercentenarian.

## Biography 
Born in El Tejado de Bejar, Spain, on 8 June 1901 (he claimed to be born in 1902), Sánchez emigrated to Cuba at age 17 and worked as a farmer, before emigrating in 1920 to the United States where he lived until his death and worked as a coal miner.

In 1934, he married Pearl Emilie Chiasera and had the son John and the daughter Irene, whom he lived with after his wife's death in 1988 to 2007 when he moved to a retirement home in Grand Island, New York, and lived there until his death at age 112 years, 97 days, and believed the secret to his long life to be one banana and one tablet of Anacin a day. At age 112, he had 7 grandchildren, 15 great-grandchildren and 5 great-great-grandchildren including Chase, Evan, and Hailey Spurback and Jacob and Ethan Macendrick.

## World's oldest man 
Sanchez became the oldest living man in the United States after Shelby Harris' death on 25 July 2012 and was exactly one year later officially verified to be the oldest living man in the world since 116-year-old Japaneseman Jiroemon Kimura's death at 2:08 a.m. the night of 12 June 2013 (=1:08 p.m. the afternoon of 11 June 2013 New York Time), which, however, before the verification of Sánchez was believed to be Canadian-born Californian man James McCoubrey (who died of pneumonia on 5 July 2013) followed by Jokichi Ikarashi (who also died of pneumonia just 18 days after McCoubrey) and Italian Arturo Licata who, however, was believed to have become the oldest living man when Sánchez died of natural causes at age 112 years, 97 days on 13 September 2013 (coincidencially on the same day as McCoubrey would have turned 112) while Polish-born Alexander Imich was believed to be the oldest living U.S. man. However, Ernest Peronneau, who was believed to be born 6 March 1903, was later verified to be born 7 March 1902, and was the oldest living man until his death on 26 March 2014, which made Licata the oldest living man first after Peronneau's death.

R/K selection theory

**r/K selection theory** describes the way a species controls its number of offspring. 

**r-selection** species produce many offspring. **K-selected** species focus on a few. Neither method is in itself superior, and they may occur in the same habitat; e.g., rodents (r-selection) and elephants (K-selection). 

The theory was popular in the 1970s and 1980s, but several studies criticized it. The study of life histories has replaced the r/K selection paradigm.

The terminology of r/K-selection was coined by the ecologists Robert MacArthur and E.O. Wilson, based on their work on island biogeography. Study of the evolution of life history strategies actually has a longer history.

Marjane Satrapi

**Marjane Satrapi** is a writer and artist. She was born on November 22, 1969 in Rasht, Iran. She lives in Paris, France. Satrapi writes comics about her life. She draws the pictures herself. She also draws pictures for other children’s books.

## Education and Early Life 
She was the only child of Marxist parents.

Satrapi’s parents were educated, and taught Satrapi to think for herself. She went to high school at Lycee Francais in Tehran, Iran. When she was 14, Satrapi’s parents sent her to Vienna, Austria to learn in a freer country. When Satrapi was 19, she moved back to Iran to study decorative arts at the Tehran School of Fine Arts. The change from the western world to Iran was difficult for her. In 1994, Satrapi moved to Strasbourg, France to study art for 3 years. She now lives in Paris, France.

## Beliefs 
Satrapi thinks countries should not spend money on weapons. She thinks they should spend money for kids to go to school in different countries. She thinks that studying in different countries helps people understand each other better.

In RandomHouse.com, Satrapi said, "I believe there are ways to solve the world's problems. Instead of putting all this money to create arms, I think countries should invest in scholarships for kids to study abroad [other countries]. Perhaps they could become good and knowledgeable professors in their own countries. You need time for that kind of change, though."

## Writing and the War 
Iran's Islamic Revolution against the Shah, the country’s dictator, started in 1979.  Satrapi’s uncle was put in prison by the Shah, then murdered by people who supported the war.

Satrapi wrote a popular series of comics called *Persepolis*. *Persepolis: The Story of a Childhood,* tells about Satrapi's life, the discrimination she faced, and moving to Europe.  She later wrote a sequel to *Persepolis* that talked about how she was treated badly for years when she went back to Iran.

Satrapi’s most famous book is called *Persepolis*.

Persepolis is the old Persian capital. The comic book is about Satrapi’s childhood in Iran during the war. This time was when country wanted to end the Shah’s cruel rule. She has written three comic books relating to her life. The first and second are about her childhood. The third is about her study in different countries. She is planning to write a fourth book about her return to Iran.

Oppositional defiant disorder

**Oppositional defiant disorder** is a mental disorder. It causes irritable and angry behaviour for at least 6 months. This behavior is noticeable in communication with other people. Most people with ODD do not usually get aggressive towards other people or animals, steal, or cause destruction. This is different from people with conduct disorder. But people with ODD do argue, and they often deliberately cause trouble.

## Symptoms
To be diagnosed with ODD, the person must have a behavior pattern for at least six months. At least four of these eight symptoms must be there in that time:

*Often argues with adults
*Goes against adults' requests and rules
*Deliberately annoys other people
*Blames other people for things they themselves have done wrong
*Angry and resentful of other people
*Spiteful/seeks revenge
*Gets annoyed easily

About 10.2% of people have or have had ODD (11.2% of males and 9.2% of females). In many cases this condition worsens into conduct disorder, which often worsens into antisocial personality disorder (ASPD). This is more likely in boys than girls, and more likely if the person also has ADHD. ODD typically begins in childhood. It is the most common mental disorder in children. It is unusual in adults, because the affected person usually either recovers or develops Antisocial personality disorder 

ODD is more common in family members of people who have ODD, CD or ASPD. It is more common in poor urban areas. 

Most people who have ODD also have other mental disorders, most often ADHD. Many children who have ODD have problems with alcohol and drugs in their adolescence and adulthood.

In 1926, RCA created the first nationwide broadcast network, the National Broadcasting Company (NBC). After the golden age of radio had passed, RCA began to decline. In 1982 they ended most of their public affairs programs. Finally, in 1986, General Electric bought back RCA, along with NBC, for $6.28 million. In 1988, General Electric sold the right to use its brand on consumer electronics, as well as various assets of RCA, excluding NBC, to Thomson.

Izmit massacre

The **Izmit massacre** occurred on 24 June 1921 in the town of Izmit, Turkey. It was a mass killing of some 300 Turkish civilians by the retreating Greek Army during the Greek-Turkish War of 1919–1922.

Izmit was a coastal Ottoman town with a mixed population of Turks, Greeks and others. In the last years of the Ottoman Empire, it was occupied by the Greek Army in 1920. The local Greeks wanted to join Greece. Turkish nationalists opposed the idea and fought the Greek troops in the town's surroundings. 

The Greek Army decided to retreat in June 1921. The local Christians also fled with the Greek army and lost their nonmovable property.

Before the Greeks left, they looted the Turks, partly burned the town, burned some surrounding villages and desecrated the mosques of Izmit. On 24 June, they killed more than 300 people in the cemetery. Thousands of Turks hid in the French college to find safety.

Izmit was occupied by the Turkish Army on 28 June 1921. Most of the Christians never returned to the town.

Parliament of Great Britain

The **Parliament of Great Britain** was formed in 1707 and was the British legislature from 1707 until 1801. Members of parliament from all of Great Britain met in the House of Commons. Lords Temporal from Great Britain met in the House of Lords. During the 18th century, bishops from the Church of England (the state religion of England and Wales) also met in the House of Lords. (There are no bishops in the Church of Scotland.)

The parliament came into existence because the Parliament of England and the Parliament of Scotland ratified the Treaty of Union. Both parliaments made legislation (the Acts of Union 1707) to make a new unitary state with anew legislature. These acts of parliament created a new United Kingdom of Great Britain and dissolved (or ended) the separate English and Scottish parliaments. The British parliament met in the old home of the Parliament of England, in the old Palace of Westminster, in the City of Westminster near the City of London. This parliament lasted nearly a century, until the Act of Union 1800 merged the separate Parliament of Great Britain and the Irish Parliament into a single Parliament of the United Kingdom. It became effective 1 January 1801, the same date the kingdom of Ireland joined with Great Britain to form the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.
