Skald

**Skald**, or **skáld** (Old Norse: [ˈskald], later [ˈskɒːld]; Icelandic: [ˈskault], meaning "poet"), is generally a term used for poets who composed at the courts of Scandinavian leaders during the Viking Age, 793–1066 AD, and continuing into the Middle Ages (5th century – 15th century). Skaldic poetry forms one of two main groupings of Old Norse poetry, the other being the anonymous Eddic poetry.[1] [2]

The most prevalent metre of skaldic poetry is *dróttkvætt*. The subject is usually historical and encomiastic, detailing the deeds of the skald's patron. There is no evidence that the skalds employed musical instruments, but some speculate that they may have accompanied their verses with the harp or lyre.[3][4]

The corpus of skaldic poetry comprise 5797 verses by 447 skalds preserved in 718 manuscripts.[5] It is currently being edited by the Skaldic Poetry of the Scandinavian Middle Ages project.

Adam

**Adam** (Hebrew: אָדָם, Modern: '**ʼAdam'**, Tiberian: '**ʾĀḏām'**; Arabic: آدَم‎, romanized: *ʾĀdam*; Greek: Ἀδάμ, romanized: *Adám*; Latin: *Adam*) is a figure in the Book of Genesis in the Hebrew Bible, from where he was adopted into Christian belief and the Quran. According to the creation myth[1] of the Abrahamic religions, he was the first man. In both Genesis and Quran, Adam and his wife were expelled from a Garden of Eden for eating the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

Various forms of creationism and biblical literalism consider Adam to be a historical person. Scientific evidence does not support the idea that the entire human population descends from a single man.[2][3][4][5][6]

The word *adam* is also used in the Bible as a pronoun, individually as "a human" and in a collective sense as "mankind".[7] Biblical Adam (man, mankind) is created from *adamah* (earth), and Genesis 1–8 makes considerable play of the bond between them, for Adam is estranged from the earth through his disobedience.
Tattoo

A **tattoo** is a form of body modification where a design is made by inserting ink, dyes and pigments, either indelible or temporary, into the dermis layer of the skin to change the pigment. The art of making tattoos is **tattooing**.

Tattoos fall into three broad categories: purely decorative (with no specific meaning); symbolic (with a specific meaning pertinent to the wearer); and pictorial (a depiction of a specific person or item). In addition, tattoos can be used for identification such as ear tattoos on livestock as a form of branding.
Turner Prize

The **Turner Prize**, named after the English painter J. M. W. Turner, is an annual prize presented to a British visual artist. Between 1991 and 2016, only artists under the age of 50 were eligible (this restriction was removed for the 2017 award). Awarding the prize is organised by the Tate gallery and usually staged at Tate Britain, though in recent years the award ceremony has sometimes been held in other UK cities. Since its beginnings in 1984 it has become the UK's most publicised art award. The award represents all media.

As of 2004, the monetary award was established at £40,000. There have been different sponsors, including Channel 4 television and Gordon's Gin. A prominent event in British culture, the prize has been awarded by various distinguished celebrities: in 2006 this was Yoko Ono, and in 2012 it was presented by Jude Law.

It is a controversial event, mainly for the exhibits, such as *The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living* – a shark in formaldehyde by Damien Hirst – and *My Bed*, a dishevelled bed by Tracey Emin. Controversy has also come from other directions, including Culture Minister Kim Howells criticising exhibits, a guest of honour (Madonna) swearing, prize judge Lynn Barber writing in the press, and a speech by Sir Nicholas Serota about the purchase of a trustee's work.

Trobairitz

The ***trobairitz*** (Occitan pronunciation: [tɾuβajˈɾits]) were Occitan female troubadours of the 12th and 13th centuries, active from around 1170 to approximately 1260.[1] *Trobairitz* is both singular and plural.[2]

The word *trobairitz* is first attested in the 13th-century romance *Flamenca*.[3] It comes from the Provençal word *trobar*, the literal meaning of which is "to find", and the technical meaning of which is "to compose".[4] The word *trobairitz* is used very rarely in medieval Occitan, as it does not occur in lyrical poetry, grammatical treatises or in the biographies (*vidas*) of the *trobairitz* or troubadours.[5] It does occur in the treatise *Doctrina d'acort* by Terramagnino da Pisa, written between 1282 and 1296. He uses it as an example of a word the plural and singular of which are the same.[2]

*Trobairitz* composed, wrote verses, and performed for the Occitan noble courts. They are exceptional in musical history as the first known female composers of Western secular music; all earlier known female composers wrote sacred music.[6] The *trobairitz* were part of courtly society, as opposed to their lower class counterparts the *joglaressas*.[7] Although troubadours sometimes came from humble origins—Bernart de Ventadorn might have been the son of a castle's baker—the *trobairitz* were usually nobly born. The most important *trobairitz* were Alamanda de Castelnau, Azalais de Porcairagues, Maria de Ventadorn, Tibors, Castelloza, Garsenda de Proença, Gormonda de Monpeslier, and the Comtessa de Diá.

Las Vegas

**Las Vegas** (Spanish for "The Meadows"), officially the **City of Las Vegas** and often known simply as **Vegas**, is the 28th-most populous city in the United States, the most populous city in the state of Nevada, and the county seat of Clark County. The city anchors the Las Vegas Valley metropolitan area and is the largest city within the greater Mojave Desert. Las Vegas is an internationally renowned major resort city, known primarily for its gambling, shopping, fine dining, entertainment, and nightlife. The Las Vegas Valley as a whole serves as the leading financial, commercial, and cultural center for Nevada.

The city bills itself as The Entertainment Capital of the World, and is famous for its mega casino-hotels and associated activities. It is a top three destination in the United States for business conventions and a global leader in the hospitality industry, claiming more AAA Five Diamond hotels than any other city in the world. Today, Las Vegas annually ranks as one of the world's most visited tourist destinations. The city's tolerance for numerous forms of adult entertainment earned it the title of "Sin City", and has made Las Vegas a popular setting for literature, films, television programs, and music videos.

Las Vegas was settled in 1905 and officially incorporated in 1911. At the close of the 20th century, it was the most populated American city founded within that century (a similar distinction was earned by Chicago in the 19th century). Population growth has accelerated since the 1960s, and between 1990 and 2000 the population nearly doubled, increasing by 85.2%. Rapid growth has continued into the 21st century, and according to estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau, the city had 651,319 residents in 2019, with a metropolitan population of 2,227,053.

As with most major metropolitan areas, the name of the primary city ("Las Vegas" in this case) is often used to describe areas beyond official city limits. In the case of Las Vegas, this especially applies to the areas on and near the Las Vegas Strip, which are actually located within the unincorporated communities of Paradise and Winchester.

The Treachery of Images

***The Treachery of Images*** (French: *La Trahison des images*) is a 1929 painting by surrealist painter René Magritte. It is also known as *This is Not a Pipe*[2] and *The Wind and the Song*.[3] Magritte painted it when he was 30 years old. It is on display at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.[1]

The painting shows a pipe. Below it, Magritte painted, "*Ceci n'est pas une pipe*", French for "This is not a pipe".

The theme of pipes with the text "Ceci n'est pas une pipe" is extended in *Les Mots et Les Images*,[5] *La Clé des Songes*,[6] *Ceci n'est pas une pipe (L'air et la chanson)*,[7] *The Tune and Also the Words*,[8] *Ceci n’est pas une pomme*,[9] and *Les Deux Mystères*.[10]

The painting is sometimes given as an example of meta message conveyed by paralanguage,[11] like Alfred Korzybski's "The word is not the thing" and "The map is not the territory", as well as Denis Diderot's *This is not a story*. One interpretation is that the pipe in the painting is not a pipe, but rather a drawing of a pipe.

On December 15, 1929, Paul Éluard and André Breton published an essay about poetry in *La Révolution surréaliste* (The Surrealist Revolution) as a reaction to the publication by poet Paul Valéry "Notes sur la poésie" in *Les Nouvelles littéraires* of September 28, 1929. When Valéry wrote "Poetry is a survival", Breton and Éluard made fun of it and wrote "Poetry is a pipe", as a reference to Magritte's painting.[12]

In the same edition of *La Révolution surréaliste*, Magritte published "*Les mots et les images*" (his founding text which illustrated where words play with images), his answer to the survey on love, and *Je ne vois pas la [femme] cachée dans la forêt*, a painting tableau surrounded by photos of sixteen surrealists with their eyes closed, including Magritte himself.
White-Collar Crime

**White-collar crime** (or corporate crime, more accurately) refers to financially motivated, nonviolent crime committed by businesses and government professionals. It was first defined by the sociologist Edwin Sutherland in 1939 as "a crime committed by a person of respectability and high social status in the course of their occupation". Typical white-collar crimes could include wage theft, fraud, bribery, Ponzi schemes, insider trading, labor racketeering, embezzlement, cybercrime, copyright infringement, money laundering, identity theft, and forgery.

Ceridwen

**Ceridwen** or **Cerridwen** (pronounced [kɛrˈɪdwɛn] (listen) *Ce-rid-wen*) was an enchantress in Welsh medieval legend. She was the mother of a hideous son, Morfran, and a beautiful daughter, Creirwy. Her husband was Tegid Foel and they lived near Bala Lake (*Llyn Tegid*) in north Wales. Medieval Welsh poetry refers to her as possessing the cauldron of poetic inspiration (Awen) and the Tale of Taliesin recounts her swallowing her servant Gwion Bach who is then reborn through her as the poet Taliesin. Ceridwen is regarded by many modern pagans as the Celtic goddess of rebirth, transformation, and inspiration.

Morris Dance

**Morris dancing** is a form of English folk dance usually accompanied by music. It is based on rhythmic stepping and the execution of choreographed figures by a group of dancers, usually wearing bell pads on their shins. Implements such as sticks, swords and handkerchiefs may also be wielded by the dancers. In a small number of dances for one or two people, steps are near and across a pair of clay tobacco pipes laid one across the other on the floor. They clap their sticks, swords, or handkerchiefs together to match with the dance.

The earliest known and surviving English written mention of Morris dance is dated to 1448 and records the payment of seven shillings to Morris dancers by the Goldsmiths' Company in London. Further mentions of Morris dancing occur in the late 15th century, and there are also early records such as bishops' "Visitation Articles" mentioning sword dancing, guising and other dancing activities, as well as mumming plays.

While the earliest records invariably mention "Morys" in a court setting, and a little later in the Lord Mayors' Processions in London, it had assumed the nature of a folk dance performed in the parishes by the mid 17th century.

There are around 150 Morris jingles (or teams) in the United States. English expatriates form a larger part of the Morris tradition in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and Hong Kong. There are isolated groups in other countries, for example those in Utrecht and Helmond, Netherlands; the Arctic Morris Group of Helsinki, Finland and Stockholm, Sweden; as well as in Cyprus and St. Petersburg, Russia.

The world of Morris is organised and supported by three organisations: Morris Ring, Morris Federation and Open Morris.

Woodcut

**Woodcut** is a relief printing technique in printmaking. An artist carves an image into the surface of a block of wood—typically with gouges—leaving the printing parts level with the surface while removing the non-printing parts. Areas that the artist cuts away carry no ink, while characters or images at surface level carry the ink to produce the print. The block is cut along the wood grain (unlike wood engraving, where the block is cut in the end-grain). The surface is covered with ink by rolling over the surface with an ink-covered roller (brayer), leaving ink upon the flat surface but not in the non-printing areas.

Multiple colors can be printed by keying the paper to a frame around the woodblocks (using a different block for each color). The art of carving the woodcut can be called "xylography", but this is rarely used in English for images alone, although that and "xylographic" are used in connection with block books, which are small books containing text and images in the same block. They became popular in Europe during the latter half of the 15th century. A **single-sheet woodcut** is a woodcut presented as a single image or print, as opposed to a book illustration.

Since its origins in China, the practice of woodcut has spread across the world from Europe to other parts of Asia, and to Latin America.
Ulster Cycle

The **Ulster Cycle** (Irish: *an Rúraíocht*), formerly known as the **Red Branch Cycle**, one of the four great cycles of Irish mythology, is a body of medieval Irish heroic legends and sagas of the traditional heroes of the Ulaid in what is now eastern Ulster and northern Leinster, particularly counties Armagh, Down and Louth, and taking place around or before the 1st century AD.

Menrva

**Menrva** (also spelled **Menerva**) was an Etruscan goddess of war, art, wisdom, and medicine. She contributed much of her character to Roman Minerva, when that culture evolved. She was the child of Uni and Tinia.

Although Menrva was seen by Hellenized Etruscans as their counterpart to Greek Athena,[1] Menrva has some unique traits that make it clear that she was not an import from Greece. Etruscan artists under the influence of Greek culture, however, liked to portray Menrva with Gorgoneion, helmet, spear, and shield, and, on one mirrorback, as bursting from the head of her father, Tinia.[2] Also, she commonly is seen as the protector of Hercle (Heracles) and *Pherse* (Perseus).[3] On a bronze mirror found at Praeneste, she attends Perseus, who consults two Graeae,[4] and, on another, holds high the head of Medusa, while she and seated Perseus and Hermes all gaze safely at its reflection in a pool at their feet.[5] These images are more likely to reflect literary sources than any cult practice. On a bronze mirror from Bolsena, c. 300 BCE, she is portrayed attending a scene of Prometheus Unbound with Esplace (Asclepius), who bandages Prometheus' chest.[6]

Often, Menrva is depicted in a more essentially Etruscan style, as a lightning thrower. Martianus mentions her as one of nine Etruscan lightning deities. Depiction with a thunderbolt may be seen on later Roman coins of Minerva as well.

Menrva seems to have been associated with weather phenomena. The Greeks never attributed an association with weather to Athena,[7] making this another important difference between the two religious cults that demonstrates their separate characteristics.

Menrva's name is indigenous to Italy and might even be of Etruscan origin, stemming from an Italic moon goddess, Meneswā 'She who measures'. It is thought that the Etruscans adopted the inherited Old Latin name, Menerwā, thereby calling her Menrva. However, this has been disputed.[8] Carl Becker suggests that her name appears to contain the PIE root *men-*, which he notes was linked in Greek primarily to memory words (cf. Greek "mnestis"/μνῆστις 'memory, remembrance, recollection'), but which more generally referred to 'mind' in most Indo-European languages.[9]

Menrva often was depicted in the Judgement of Paris, called Elcsntre (Alexander, his alternative name in Greek) in Etruscan, one of the most popular Greek myths in Etruria.

Menrva was part of a triple deity with Uni and Tinia, later reflected in the Roman Capitoline Triad of Juno, Jupiter, and Minerva.
Tröegs

Tröegs is an American brewery located on Hersheypark Drive in Hershey, Pennsylvania. John and Chris Trogner founded the company in 1996. Tröegs is a craft-brewery, or microbrewery focusing their production on specialty and seasonal beers. Tröegs also is a limited distribution brewery, only distributing beer to states within proximity to maintain beer freshness.

Tröegs was founded in 1996 in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, by brothers John and Chris Trogner. The name Tröegs is a combination of a nickname derived from the surname Trogner and the Dutch word *kroeg* ("pub"). The brewery was originally located at 800 Paxton Street in Harrisburg. Their first keg was sold to a Harrisburg restaurant in July, 1997.

Tröegs began construction of their new brewery in 2010 and moved from Harrisburg to Hershey in Fall 2011. Grand opening celebrations were held during November of that year. At approximately 90,000 square feet (8,400 m2) the new brewery is about three times the size of the original facility and includes a tap house (tasting room) with a full view of the brewhouse. The tap house bar serves most beer by the glass, although a select few, including "corked-and-caged" beers, are sold by the bottle. Most of Tröegs' beers are available "to go"—as 4-packs, 6-packs, cases, growlers, and, most recently, as "crowlers" (32-US-fluid-ounce (950 ml) aluminum cans filled from a tap and then sealed; a portmanteau of "can" and "growler"). However, a few bottled beers have been available for consumption only in the tap room. The tap room also features an upscale "snack bar."

Every year, Tröegs sponsors the Harrisburg Brewers Fest with proceeds benefiting the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Held every year along Locust and 3rd Streets in downtown Harrisburg, the festival features live music, food and beer samples from over 35 breweries.

Self-guided tours are available daily during regular business hours. Guided tasting tours are also available by appointment.

In 2012, Tröegs produced 44,000 US beer barrels (52,000 hl);[2] by 2016, the volume had more than doubled to 89,000 US beer barrels (104,000 hl).[1]
Alizee Jacotey

**Alizée Jacotey** (born 21 August 1984), known professionally as **Alizée**, is a French singer, dancer and voice actress. She was born and raised in Ajaccio, Corsica.

She was discovered by Mylène Farmer, following her winning performance in the talent show *Graines de Star*[1] in 1999. While collaborating with Mylène Farmer and Laurent Boutonnat, she followed it with a series of albums that attained immense popularity by pushing the boundaries of lyrical content in mainstream popular music and imagery in her music videos, which became a fixture on NRJ, Europe 1, MTV, Virgin Radio, and many others. Throughout her career, many of her songs have been in top 25 hit lists on the record charts, including "Moi... Lolita", "L'Alizé", "J'en ai marre!", "Gourmandises", "Mademoiselle Juliette", her cover version of "La Isla Bonita", "Parler Tout Bas", "Les collines" and "À cause de l'automne".

According to the IFPI and SNEP, Alizée is one of the best-selling female French artists of the 21st century,[2] and is also the singer with most exports out of France.[3] Alizée entered the music business in 2000. She has since released six studio albums, the first two of which were composed by Laurent Boutonnat and written by Mylène Farmer. Her first album was *Gourmandises*, which received Platinum certification within three months of release. After its international launch in 2001, *Gourmandises* was a success both in France and abroad, earning Alizée the distinction of being the highest selling female French singer in 2001.[4] The album featured her most successful single "Moi... Lolita" which reached number one in several countries in Europe and East Asia, in the UK the song was acclaimed by the New Musical Express who recognised it with a "*Single of the Week*" award. It became a rare example of a foreign-language song to chart highly in the UK, peaking at number 9.

*Gourmandises* was followed by a second studio album, *Mes courants électriques*, in 2003. Following its release, Alizée toured during the fall of 2003, performing in 43 concerts throughout France, Belgium and Switzerland.

Her fourth album titled *Une enfant du siècle* was released on 29 March 2010. In early 2011 she recorded a duet with Alain Chamfort for his new album *Elle & lui*.

Released in March 2013, Alizée's fifth studio album, *5* had a continuous promotion including the two first songs "À cause de l'automne" and "Je veux bien". Later she collaborated on Olly Murs's single "Dear Darlin'". Starting on 28 September, she participated in the TV show *Danse avec les stars* (French version of *Strictly Come Dancing*), which she won on 23 November 2013.

Following the success of *Danse avec les Stars*, Alizée had her sixth album released, just one year after the latest album, in collaboration with Pascal Obispo. The album received mixed reviews and was not successful in sales.

On Friday the 24th of May, 2019, Alizee announced that she was pregnant with her second child on Instagram. No other details were released other than an expected birth date later in 2019.

Táin Bó Cúailnge

***Táin Bó Cúailnge*** (Irish pronunciation: [t̪ˠaːnʲ boː ˈkuəlʲɲə]; "the driving-off of cows of Cooley", commonly known as ***The Cattle Raid of Cooley*** or ***The Táin***) is an epic from early Irish literature which is often called "The Irish Iliad", even though, like the Icelandic sagas and most other Early Irish literature, the Táin is written in prosimetrum, i.e. prose with periodic additions of verse composed by the characters. The Táin tells of a war against Ulster by Queen Medb of Connacht and her husband King Ailill, who intend to steal the stud bull Donn Cuailnge. Due to a curse upon the King and warriors of Ulster, the invaders are opposed only by teenaged demigod Cú Chulainn.

The *Táin* is traditionally set in the 1st century in a pre-Christian heroic age, and is the central text of a group of tales known as the Ulster Cycle. It survives in three written versions or "recensions" in manuscripts of the 12th century and later, the first a compilation largely written in Old Irish, the second a more consistent work in Middle Irish, and the third an Early Modern Irish version.

The Táin has had an enormous influence on Irish literature and culture. It is often considered Ireland's national epic.

Wandering Jew

The **Wandering Jew** is a mythical immortal man whose legend began to spread in Europe in the 13th century. The original legend concerns a Jew who taunted Jesus on the way to the Crucifixion and was then cursed to walk the Earth until the Second Coming. The exact nature of the wanderer's indiscretion varies in different versions of the tale, as do aspects of his character; sometimes he is said to be a shoemaker or other tradesman, while sometimes he is the doorman at the estate of Pontius Pilate.

Vedette

A ***vedette*** is the main female artist of a show derived from cabaret and its subcategories of revue, vaudeville, music hall or burlesque. The purpose of the vedette is to entertain and captivate the public. The vedette has to know how to sing, dance and act on stage. Particularly accomplished artistes are considered *super vedettes* or *first vedettes*. Vedettes often appear alongside groups of dancers, flashy and revealing costumes, magicians, comedians, jugglers, or even performing animals. Vedettes specializing in burlesque generally do striptease and may also perform nude on stage.

In the 20th century, vedette shows were successful in the cabarets, theaters and nightclubs of countries such as Spain, France, Argentina and Mexico. Paris and Las Vegas were considered the main cradle of the vedettes.

First Blood

***First Blood*** is a 1982 American action film directed by Ted Kotcheff, and co-written by Sylvester Stallone, who also stars as Vietnam War veteran John Rambo. It co-stars Richard Crenna and Brian Dennehy, and is the first installment in the *Rambo* franchise, followed by *Rambo: First Blood Part II*.

The film is based on the 1972 novel of the same name by David Morrell. In the film, Rambo, a troubled and misunderstood veteran, must rely on his combat and survival senses against the abusive law enforcement of the small town of Hope, Washington.

*First Blood* was released in the United States on October 22, 1982. Despite initial mixed reviews, the film was a box office success, grossing $125.2 million at the box office. In 1985, it also became the first Hollywood blockbuster to be released in China, holding the record for the largest number of tickets sold for an American film until 2018. Since its release, *First Blood* has been reappraised by critics, with many highlighting the roles of Stallone, Dennehy, and Crenna, and recognizing it as an influential film in the action genre.

The film's success spawned a franchise, consisting of four sequels (all of which were co-written by and starred Stallone), an animated television series and a series of comic books, novels, video games, as well as a Bollywood remake.

Walt Disney Company

**The Walt Disney Company**, commonly known as **Disney** (/ˈdɪzni/), is an American diversified multinational mass media and entertainment conglomerate headquartered at the Walt Disney Studios complex in Burbank, California.

Disney was originally founded on October 16, 1923, by brothers Walt and Roy O. Disney as the **Disney Brothers Cartoon Studio**; it also operated under the names **The Walt Disney Studio** and **Walt Disney Productions** before officially changing its name to The Walt Disney Company in 1986. The company established itself as a leader in the American animation industry before diversifying into live-action film production, television, and theme parks.

Since the 1980s, Disney has created and acquired corporate divisions in order to market more mature content than is typically associated with its flagship family-oriented brands. The company is known for its film studio division, The Walt Disney Studios, which includes Walt Disney Pictures, Walt Disney Animation Studios, Pixar, Marvel Studios, Lucasfilm, 20th Century Studios, Searchlight Pictures, and Blue Sky Studios. Disney's other main business units include divisions in television, broadcasting, streaming media, theme park resorts, consumer products, publishing, and international operations. Through these various segments, Disney owns and operates the ABC broadcast network; cable television networks such as Disney Channel, ESPN, Freeform, FX, and National Geographic; publishing, merchandising, music, and theater divisions; direct-to-consumer streaming services such as Disney+, Hulu, ESPN+ and Hotstar; and Disney Parks, Experiences and Products, a group of 14 theme parks, resort hotels, and cruise lines around the world. Cartoon character Mickey Mouse, created in 1928 by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks, is one of the world's most recognizable characters and serves as the company's official mascot.[*citation needed*]

The company, which trades on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under DIS stock symbol, has been a component of the Dow Jones Industrial Average since 1991.[*citation needed*] In August 2020, just under two-thirds of the stock was owned by large financial institutions.

Utah Monolith

The "**Utah monolith**" was a metal pillar that stood in a red sandstone slot canyon in northern San Juan County, Utah. The pillar was 9.5-foot (3 m) tall and made of metal sheets riveted into a triangular prism. It was unlawfully placed on public land between July and October 2016. In November 2020, state biologists discovered it during a helicopter survey of wild bighorn sheep.

Within days, members of the public found the pillar using GPS mapping software and made their way to the remote location. The identity of its makers, and their objectives, are unknown. Following intense media coverage, it was covertly removed on 27th November 2020 by four unidentified men.[2][3]

Similar metal columns have appeared in Romania and California, both of which have also since been removed.

Woven

**Woven**, also known as the lucky few, are individuals that have miraculously survived having their bodies affected by mantra. Their bodies are often left warped and deformed, as they continue to live through sheer luck.

While there are some who pursue this for the chance of obtaining unique abilities and/or a stronger body, most are the unwilling victims of conflict and error.

House Gryffindor

**Gryffindor** is one of the four Houses of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and was founded by Godric Gryffindor. Gryffindor instructed the Sorting Hat to choose students possessing characteristics he most valued, such as courage, chivalry, and determination, to be sorted into his house. The emblematic animal is a lion, and its colours are scarlet and gold. Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington, also known as "*Nearly Headless Nick*" is the House ghost.

Gryffindor corresponds roughly to the element of fire, and it is for this reason that the colours scarlet and gold were chosen to represent the house. The colour of fire corresponds to that of a lion as well, with scarlet representing the mane and tail and gold representing the coat.

Twin Peaks

***Twin Peaks*** is an American mystery horror drama television series created by Mark Frost and David Lynch that premiered on April 8, 1990, on ABC. Declining ratings led to its cancellation after its second season in 1991. It nonetheless gained a devoted cult following and has been referenced in a wide variety of media.[3][4][5][6] In subsequent years, *Twin Peaks* is often listed among the greatest television series of all time, and is considered a landmark turning point in television drama.[7][8][9][10][11]

The series follows an investigation headed by FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) and local Sheriff Harry S. Truman (Michael Ontkean) into the murder of homecoming queen Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee) in the fictional suburban town of Twin Peaks, Washington. The show's narrative draws on elements of detective fiction, but its uncanny tone, supernatural elements, and campy, melodramatic portrayal of eccentric characters also draw on American soap opera and horror tropes.[12][13][6][14] Like much of Lynch's work, it is distinguished by surrealism, offbeat humor, and distinctive cinematography.[15] The acclaimed score was composed by Angelo Badalamenti with Lynch.[16]

The success of the show sparked a media franchise, and the series was followed by a 1992 feature film, *Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me*, that serves as a prequel to the series. Additional tie-in books were also released. Following a hiatus of over 25 years, the show returned in 2017 with a third season on Showtime, marketed as *Twin Peaks: The Return* and *Twin Peaks: A Limited Event Series.* The season was directed by Lynch and written by Lynch and Frost, and starred many original cast members, including MacLachlan.

Vexillology

**Vexillology** (/ˌvɛksɪˈlɒlədʒi/) is the study of the history, symbolism and usage of flags or, by extension, any interest in flags in general.[1] The word is a synthesis of the Latin word *vexillum* (which refers to a kind of square flag which was carried by Roman cavalry[2]) and the Greek suffix *-logia* ("study").[3] The first known usage of the word *vexillology* was in 1959.[4]

A person who studies flags is a **vexillologist**, one who designs flags is a vexillographer, and the art of flag-designing is called vexillography. One who is a hobbyist or general admirer of flags is a vexillophile.

Thrushcross Grange

### Inhabitants

Mr Linton (?-1780) Mrs Linton (?-1780) Edgar Linton (1762-1801) Isabella Linton (1765-1784) Catherine Earnshaw (1765-1784) Cathy Linton (1784-1801) Nelly Dean (1783-1802) Mr Lockwood (1801-?)

**Thrushcross Grange** is a Manor House located on the moors in Yorkshire. It was owned by the Linton family until 1801.

## History

### Mr Linton

Mr Linton lived in Thrushcross Grange, presumably from birth, with his wife and two children, Edgar and Isabella. When Catherine Earnshaw was 12, she was bitten by a dog at the Grange, and was allowed to stay to get better for five weeks. Over that time, the Lintons transformed her into a lady. After Heathcliff runs away, Catherine contracts a fever, and Edgar continues to visit her, but the fever is passed on and Mr and Mrs Linton die.

### Edgar Linton

Edgar becomes master of the Grange, and shortly after marries Catherine. Catherine then goes to live at the Grange along with Nelly Dean. When Heathcliff returns, Catherine becomes ill again, in addition to being pregnant. Isabella elopes with Heathcliff, and doesn't return to live at the Grange, but instead resides at the Wuthering Heights. Catherine dies giving birth to her daughter, Cathy Linton. Cathy is brought up in isolation inside the walls of the Grange. She takes advantage of Edgar's declining health to venture outside the walls. She is imprisoned at the Heights and forced to marry Linton, but escapes in time to see her father before he dies.

### Heathcliff

With Edgar's death, Heathcliff becomes master of the Grange, and rents it out to Mr Lockwood. He refuses to allow Cathy to stay there, but insists that Nelly stays as a housekeeper. Lockwood learns the story of the Heights there. Heathcliff dies not long after and leaves everything to Hareton Earnshaw.

## Masters of Thrushcross Grange

* Mr Linton (?-1780)
* Edgar Linton (1780-1801)
* Heathcliff (1801-1802)
* Hareton Earnshaw (1802-?)

Black And White

**Black-and-white** (**B/W** or **B&W**) images combine black and white in a continuous spectrum, producing a range of shades of gray.

A picture which uses only the two shades of white and black would look similar to a silhouette. Therefore, calling a photo a "black and white image" is actually a misnomer.[1][*failed verification*][2][*failed verification*] The technically accurate term is "grayscale", or more specifically "grayscale monochrome". A picture which consists only of actual white and black pixels is a "binary image".

Êtres Magiques

Les **Êtres Magiques** représentent 40% de la population mondiale.
Ils sont semblables aux Humains, sauf en termes de pouvoirs. Certains d'entre eux peuvent avoir subit des modifications de leur aspect physique (Couleur de peau, Ailes dans le dos, Cornes, etc.), ces derniers sont
nommés les **Hybrides**.
Il est parfaitement impossible pour deux parents humains d'avoir un "enfant magique", au moins l'un des parents doit être "magique" pour avoir une chance de donner naissance à un "enfant magique". Si les parents sont "magiques", alors l'enfant naissant de leurs union le sera également. Les **Êtres Magiques** ont montrés la capacité à hériter du pouvoir d'un ou de plusieurs de leurs parents (avec cependant, quelques différences).
Les **Êtres Magiques** ont commencés à être chassés en 2020 suite à une loi demandant leurs arrestations ou leurs morts.
Uffizi

The **Uffizi Gallery** (UK: /juːˈfɪtsi, ʊˈfiːtsi/;[3][4] Italian: **Galleria degli Uffizi**, pronounced [ɡalleˈriːa deʎʎ ufˈfittsi]) is a prominent art museum located adjacent to the Piazza della Signoria in the Historic Centre of Florence in the region of Tuscany, Italy. One of the most important Italian museums and the most visited, it is also one of the largest and best known in the world and holds a collection of priceless works, particularly from the period of the Italian Renaissance.

After the ruling house of Medici died out, their art collections were gifted to the city of Florence under the famous *Patto di famiglia* negotiated by Anna Maria Luisa, the last Medici heiress. The Uffizi is one of the first modern museums. The gallery had been open to visitors by request since the sixteenth century, and in 1765 it was officially opened to the public, formally becoming a museum in 1865.[5]

Today, the Uffizi is one of the most popular tourist attractions of Florence and one of the most visited art museums in the world.
