大酋长会同特聘酋长制

**大酋长会同特聘酋长制**是喇古杜嘎根本的政治制度。

在喇古杜嘎，大酋长为传统领袖和宗教领袖，实行世袭，终身任职；特聘酋长为实权领袖，实行民选，任期固定为5年。

大酋长会同特聘酋长具有民族领导人和地区领导人的双重属性，因此惰其院各部的喇古杜嘎事务遵循“属地+属人”原则。喇古杜嘎地区以外的喇古杜嘎人民在接受当地行政机关领导的同时，也接受大酋长会同特聘酋长的领导。喇古杜嘎地区的其他民族人民也接受大酋长会同特聘酋长的领导。

## 历史沿革

传统上，喇古杜嘎人的领导人为世袭，称作**大酋长**。阳历15年，喇古杜嘎人实施了民主改革，大酋长作为传统领袖继续世袭，但没有实权；实权由民选的**特聘酋长**掌握。当时，特聘酋长的任期为5年，任期满时需经过信任投票，通过后任**长聘期酋长**，除非主动辞职或逝世，可长期任职。

阳历92年，由于双喇殖民公司与喇古杜嘎人发生了严重的冲突，时任长聘期酋长年事已高，无力主政，主动辞职，喇古杜嘎天文台首席科学家任**代理特聘酋长**。冲突解决后，为实现领导人年轻化，喇古杜嘎人进行了特聘酋长制改革，规定特聘酋长由民选产生，任期5年，到期必须离任，非特殊情况不得转为长聘期酋长。因此当代喇古杜嘎人的领导人总是称为**特聘酋长**，且任期固定为5年。

阳历124年1月17日（阴历123年12月18日），《惰其院公报》理论副刊《白雪峰》刊登文章《**大酋长会同特聘酋长制，是一种君主立宪制**》，总结了喇古杜嘎人自阳历92年特聘酋长制改革以来的成功治理经验。

## 分酋长

大酋长会同特聘酋长可任命若干**分酋长**，他们负责喇古杜嘎某些特定地区或散居在惰其院各部及周边地区的喇古杜嘎人民的相关内部事务。主要的分酋长有：

* **小酋长**（分管小喇古杜嘎，联系干喇古杜嘎）
* **宝奈酋长**
* **巴义打酋长**
* **喇该尼卡酋长**

在现行体制下，不同于大酋长采用世袭制，这些分酋长均有其分管地区的人民（如果分管地区在喇古杜嘎境外，则由散居在对应地区的喇古杜嘎人民）选举产生，由大酋长会同特聘酋长任命。其任期与特聘酋长的代表相当。
Operation Chivalrous

**Operation Chivalrous** has all the upper-class members to have privilage to be first in hospitals and shelters, along with scientists, politicians, leaders, principals, best students, officers, generals, meteorologists, advisors, religious figures and many other powerful and/or important figures, especially lower-class, working-class and middle-class women and children, including soldiers, before men of lower class, working class and middle class could do during World War V.

It's issued by Wangombe Kenyatta, the Solar Alliance and the United Nations as a last resort.
Alicorn

**Alicorns** are pony characters in the show and other material who have both a unicorn horn and pegasus wings and, depending on the depiction, also have earth pony power. They are styled as royalty. They are referred to as **princess ponies** in Hasbro's toy line, as **Pegasus Unicorns** in Little Brown's book *Mini Pony Collector's Guide*, and, once, as **pegasus unicorns** on Hasbro's *My Little Pony* Facebook page. Meghan McCarthy, the show's head writer, says that the title of "princess" is one that is earned in Equestria.
The third season episode Magic Duel marks the first use of the term "Alicorn" in the series, and in Magical Mystery Cure the term is used for the first time to directly refer to **winged unicorns**, previously referred to as ***unicorns*** in earlier seasons' episodes Friendship is Magic, part 1 and A Canterlot Wedding - Part 1.

## Regal Sisters

**Princess Celestia** and her younger sister **Princess Luna** are introduced in the first episode in a series of medieval-like drawings with a narration that says there were "two regal sisters who ruled together and created harmony for all the land," and that "the eldest used her unicorn powers to raise the sun at dawn; the younger brought out the moon to begin the night." Lauren Faust commented that Princess Celestia was originally supposed to be Queen Celestia, the highest authority with no parents who outrank her. Her status was later changed to "princess" at Hasbro's request. Faust has stated that Celestia embodies the traits of all three pony kinds: earth, pegasus, and unicorn.
Solar System

The **Solar System** is the gravitationally bound system of the Sun and the objects that orbit it, either directly or indirectly. Of the objects that orbit the Sun directly, the largest are the eight planets, with the remainder being smaller objects, the dwarf planets and small Solar System bodies. Of the objects that orbit the Sun indirectly--the moons--two are larger than the smallest planet, Mercury.
Esperanto letter O

The **Esperanto letter O** (called **o** in Esperanto) represents IPA phoneme /o/, similar to the "aw" in "law" /lɔː/. It like the beginning of the "o" in "bone" in an American accent /boʊn/ (American English) /bəʊn/ (British English). /o/ is also like "o" in "force" in an American accent /foɹs/ (American English) /fɔːs/ (British English).
List of Cameos

A **list featuring various cameos** (characters, objects, locations, etc.) in the *Harmony Strike* series.

## *My Little Pony* Cameos

* Ponies became invasive to all over Earth while humans are being invasive to all over the Pony World. The major difference is that they co-exist together.

## Square Enix Cameos

### *Dragon Quest*

* A slime is seen in Flurry Heart's bedroom during the Shroob Invasion of the Crystal Empire.

### Taito

* The *Vaus* from *Arkanoid* is being deployed by Solar Alliance forces to scout Everfree Forest.
New Zealand

**New Zealand** (Māori: *Aotearoa* [aɔˈtɛaɾɔa]) is a sovereign island country in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. The country has two main landmasses--the North Island (*Te Ika-a-Māui*), and the South Island (*Te Waipounamu*)--and around 600 smaller islands. It has a total land area of 268,000 square kilometres (103,500 sq mi). New Zealand is about 2,000 kilometres (1,200 mi) east of Australia across the Tasman Sea and 1,000 kilometres (600 mi) south of the Pacific island areas of New Caledonia, Fiji, and Tonga.
Harmony Strike

***Harmony Strike*** is a video game series based on the YouTube videos of World Wars 4 and 5 and the Equestrian-German Skirmish by Hurricane Hunter03. They're yet to be released on XBox One, PlayStation One, Nintendo Switch, iOS, Android and PC.

The series is about the "Solar Alliance," a UN-sanctioned coalition between ponies and humans (including the other creatures from the Pony World, cute talking animal-like species and aliens from the Solar System), and the "Pact of Totalism," an evil alliance made by Shorobs and Children of the Stars cultists. Also, the tertiary antagonists that goes against both alliances would be the Griffon Kingdoms and Finland for example.

This also follows the respective playable protagonists from different missions who were tasked by the Solar Alliance to lead a last-ditch effort to destroy the Shroob Empire-Children of the Stars alliance called the "Pact of Totalism," and save both humanity and pony folk.

It would be produced by People Can Fly, Square Enix and Gearbox Software in association with Nintendo (for Shroobs) and Hasbro (for ponies), including some special thanks to science fiction-focused companies for vehicles and weapons, including some companies that produce cute species and alien species.
Narrator

The **narrator** of *Harmony Strike* is none other than Flash Sentry, a pegasus pony from Canterlot who works as a royal guard, telling these first-person stories about how World War V would progress and about James Paulson's journey.

## Quotes

### Introductions

#### *Harmony Strike 3*

* **Heraklion 2153**: "Heraklion was where it all ended. They'd turned the ruined city into a fortress. Every block had AA guns mounted and ambushes in place for the ground troops. It wasn't safe to be over, nearer or in, but our job was to crack that alien nut, and that's what we did. Even in the last hours, the Shroobs and the Children of the Stars fought hard, like cornered rats. Trying to get through their all kinds of defenses in order to take out their radar was trying to sneak past a rottweiler. It was the sort of fight where your human and pony comrades get shot up so bad that the only things holding it together are spit, neighs and prayers, and you run out of spit and neighs. Maybe my brother and my sister are watching over us as we fought. That's the only thing that could explain how we stayed on the battlefield. I still would rather have had them fighting with us, though. The best of the Shroobs and the Children of the Stars were waiting for us in Heraklion. They knew the war was over, but if they were going to hell or Tartarus, they wanted us to be an escort. Me and all the Solar Alliance forces didn't like the idea so much, but then again, I don't think they were expecting us to."
Princess Celestia

**Princess Celestia**, called **Queen Celestia** in one comic and early development, is an alicorn pony, the former co-ruler of Equestria alongside her younger sister Princess Luna, and the adoptive aunt of Princess Cadance. In addition to her responsibility of raising the sun, she has also been the teacher of Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer at different periods in time, often addressing Twilight as "my faithful student" while mentoring her.
Ponyville

**Ponyville** is a town in Equestria, the main setting of the series *My Little Pony Friendship is Magic*, and home to the leading characters. Ponyville is first featured in the first episode and is the setting for most of the episodes.

## Depiction in the Series

### Geographical Location and Features

Friendship is Magic is the first episode to show that Ponyville is bordered by the Everfree Forest. In Dragonshy, a mountain is within walking distance of the town.
Canterlot's mountain is visible from the town. A map that Granny Smith shows in the episode Family Appreciation Day portrays Ponyville's location relative to Cloudsdale, Canterlot, and the Everfree Forest.
大酋长天文庄园

公益二类事业单位法人**大酋长天文庄园**是喇古杜嘎著名的科普教育基地和研学旅游设施。天文庄园坐落于喇古杜嘎北部巴义打片区的喇古杜嘎天文台原址，天文观测条件佳，拥有大量天文观测器材及完善的住宿、餐饮设施。大酋长天文庄园是惰其院和喇古杜嘎官方认证的科普教育基地。

沿革
--

喇古杜嘎天文台原址位于喇古杜嘎北部巴义打片区。由于双喇殖民公司的填湖造陆行为破坏了天文台原址，天文台搬迁至舞乙县。阳历119年，由大酋长基金会投资，喇古杜嘎开始进行天文台原址恢复工程，并在天文台原址建设大酋长天文庄园。阳历124年6月1日，原址恢复工程和天文庄园的建设正式完工，**当今喇古杜嘎大酋长**为庄园剪彩。

## 对喇古杜嘎人民的优惠政策

大酋长天文庄园对持有喇古杜嘎人民身份证的喇古杜嘎人民实行以下优惠政策：

* 入住庄园享受永久优惠；
* 免费使用庄园内的天文器材。

## 水准原点遗址纪念馆

惰其院高程基准的水准原点原位于喇古杜嘎天文台，后被双喇殖民公司破坏（现在的水准原点系阳历79年确定，位于会济自由市）。天文台原址恢复工程恢复了水准原点遗址，建立了水准原点遗址纪念馆，并将原水准原点恢复，列为惰其院79年高程基准最新的一处水准副基准点。
Yanomami

The **Yanomami**, also spelled **Yąnomamö** or **Yanomama**, are a group of approximately 35,000 indigenous people who live in some 200–250 villages in the Amazon rainforest on the border between Venezuela and Brazil.

## Current Status

Due to both climate change and World War V (both are factors of population decline), the Yanomami, along with many other uncontacted peoples, are forced to integrate to modern society.

There are also Yanomami Volunteers, a faction consisting of Yanomami tribesmen who serve for the Solar Alliance in protecting what's left of their rainforest from Shroobs and Children of the Stars forces.
Canterlot

**Canterlot** is a city first featured in the series' premiere episode as the residence of Twilight Sparkle, where she studies under Princess Celestia. The city holds the royal castle, making it the capital of Equestria. It is also the venue of important cultural events like the Grand Galloping Gala.
Toad

**Toads**, also known as the **Mushroom People** (singular: **Mushroom person** or **mushroom person**) or simply **Mushrooms**, are a peaceful race of mushroom-like, humanoid characters and the dominant species of the Mushroom Kingdom. Toads reside in many towns and cities throughout the entire kingdom and have a capital named after them called Toad Town.
Pacific Ocean

The **Pacific Ocean** is the largest and deepest of Earth's oceanic divisions. It extends from the Arctic Ocean in the north to the Southern Ocean (or, depending on definition, to Antarctica) in the south and is bounded by the continents of Asia and Australia in the west and the Americas in the east.

At 165,250,000 square kilometers (63,800,000 square miles) in area (as defined with a southern Antarctic border), this largest division of the World Ocean and the hydrosphere covers about 46% of Earth's water surface and about 32% of the planet's total surface area, larger than its entire land area (148,000,000 km2 (57,000,000 sq mi)). The centers of both the Water Hemisphere and the Western Hemisphere, as well as the oceanic pole of inaccessibility, are in the Pacific Ocean.
South Island

The **South Island**, also officially named ***Te Waipounamu***, is the larger of the two major islands of New Zealand in surface area; the other being the smaller but more populous North Island. It is bordered to the north by Cook Strait, to the west by the Tasman Sea, and to the south and east by the Pacific Ocean.

合平通报的短波终端

自创业以来，合平通报陆续推出过一系列**标准短波终端**。它们包括**通报馆70年式（BC 70）短波终端**、**通报馆90年式（BC 90）可移动短波终端**、**合平通报105年式（DCBA 105）便携式短波终端**等。标准短波终端均由合平通报麓城通报设备厂生产。其中，合平通报105年式便携式短波终端曾获中合全总管区科技进步二等奖。

目前，合平通报正在研制**合平通报123年式（DCBA 123）短波文字移动终端**。

遵循《短波通报规程》规定的频率范围，并具有符合标准的自动匹配振铃信号功能的**非标准型短波终端**，经检验合格后也可入网。

由于短波终端的号码在升位时遵循呼号不变原则，因此即使是最老式的通报馆70年式短波终端，目前仍然可以使用。中合全州最后一部在用的通报馆70年式短波终端于阳历123年3月24日退役。该终端退役时仍然状态良好，已被州通报分管委员会通报博物馆收藏，将在每年的通报节上进行动态展示。

## 短波终端的工作模式

合平通报官方推荐的通报工作模式是Hellschreiber。这一模式的优点主要包括：发射机设计方便、电源效率高（可使用等幅报发射机）、对接收机频率稳定性要求不高、抗干扰能力强（这一模式本质上传输的是图片，人脑在信噪比较低的图片中解析文字的能力较强。尤其在通报常用的短波低段，干扰往往比较严重，这一特性特别可贵）。通报的电文一般印在纸带上，在105年式和在研的123年式终端上，也可显示在屏幕上。

合平通报规定，与主控台通报时，必须使用Hellschreiber模式。为了避免浪费纸张，标准短波终端可以接收纸带启停信号（在信号较弱或干扰严重的场合下，这一功能可以强制关闭）。纸带启停信号和自动匹配振铃信号，使用波特率为12.5，载波频移为170Hz的频移键控（FSK）模式（频移键控模式的抗干扰能力不如Hellschreiber，但主控台发射信号的功率较大（一般为100W，必要时可增加到200W以上），因此自动匹配振铃信号一般均可被终端正确解调）。

为实现主控台自动化，减少值班报务员的工作量，合平通报正在论证将上述频移键控模式推广到与主控台的通报上。如果论证通过，那么与主控台通报，既可以使用Hellschreiber模式（此时会转接值班报务员人工处理），也可以使用频移键控模式（此时由主控台系统自动处理）。

一般的短波终端除具有通报功能外，还具有通话功能（单纯的文字终端除外）。出于某种原因，合平通报不主张使用抑制载波的单边带话（J3E）工作模式。所有包含通话功能的标准短波终端，均采用调幅话（A3E）工作模式。然而非标准型移动终端可能包含单边带模式。

为了通报，标准短波终端均配置了拍频振荡器（BFO）；然而由于机内滤波器的限制，使用标准短波终端接收抑制载波单边带话时，会出现调整困难、话音不清晰等问题。为与标准短波终端通话，非标准型移动终端常见的折衷是采用保留载波的单边带话（H3E）。这样，标准短波终端也可以方便地接收。

正在研制的合平通报123年式短波文字移动终端的发射部分不具有通话功能，但可正确接收解调J3E、H3E等单边带话的语音。

## 短波终端通信的传播方式、使用频率与通信距离

短波终端功率较小，采用直接波（视距内）、地波（超视距不远的范围内）及近垂直入射天波（约250交通里/500km以内的距离）等传播方式进行通信。通信时，天线架设高度较低，以便产生近垂直入射的天波（这也方便了便携使用时天线的架设）。

通报使用频率夜间较低（2~4MHz），昼间较高（5~8MHz）。合平通报的传播预测部门提前两天计算最佳频率，分昼夜设定频点，通过广播公布。

合平通报的短波通报主控台设置在中合全州的中心。因此，短波通报的覆盖范围除中合全州外，还包含了双喇地区及显兴府等。

在不经转报的情况下，一般可在100交通里以内的距离上可靠通报；在200交通里的距离上，通报的成功率也较高。然而可靠通话的距离要近一些，一般不超过50交通里。
Equestria

**Equestria** is the main setting of the *My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic* franchise. Equestria is inhabited by magical ponies and other talking creatures, such as griffons and dragons. Other animals and creatures also live in Equestria. Equestria is called a kingdom in the first episode of the show and in other media, though it does contain other "kingdoms" within it such as the Crystal Empire; the show and other media take place in many locations and their exact affiliation with Equestria is not explored. Equestria was co-ruled by Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, who resided in a palace in the city of Canterlot until The Last Problem, when they retire with Twilight Sparkle taking their place. The name "Equestria" is derived from the word "equestrian," which denotes a relation to horseback riding. Consequently, it also has an origin in equus, the Latin word for "horse."

## Production

Lauren Faust wrote in a comment on her DeviantArt page that the Everfree Forest is west of Ponyville, Sweet Apple Acres is southwest, and Fluttershy's cottage and meadow are located north of the farm, presumably between Ponyville and the forest. Canterlot is northeast of Ponyville.

Pony

The *My Little Pony* brand describes its characters as **ponies**. The brand's toys, as the name suggests, usually consist of small colorful plastic ponies. The characters on the various *My Little Pony* television shows and movies are depicted with varying degrees of fantasy elements, like the ability to speak, fly, and use magic.
The show *My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic* places the ponies in the "magical land of Equestria."
Shroob

The **Shroobs** are a race of aliens from the Shroob Planet that appear in *Mario & Luigi: Partners* in Time and serve as the main antagonists. The Shroobs invaded the Mushroom Kingdom when Mario and Luigi were babies. They are a purple, mushroom-like species ruled by Princess Shroob and her older sister. Their name is a corruption of the shortened word for mushroom, "shroom."

They possess very advanced technology, such as ray guns and a massive fleet of flying saucers, powered by the vim of Toads, which is collected by capturing the Toads and draining the vim through the Shroobs' Tree Network, all leading to the Vim Factory . The saucers are capable of shooting energy bolts that turn people into Shroob Mushrooms, as well as causing devastating damage to buildings. When invading the Mushroom Kingdom the Shroobs seemingly have everything laid out in advance so that they could both protect vital operations and invade enemy regions at the same time, suggesting they are very intelligent and possess a complex military.

## Appearance

The Shroobs are dark purple mushroom-shaped creature with bluish-white spots at the top, have very stubby bodies and limbs, have hands with pincers at the ends, have gaping mouths with a pair of fangs on the top, and have black eyes with red pupils.

## History

### *Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time*

According to the prologue of the game, the Shroobs invaded the Mushroom Kingdom because their home planet is dying.
Chatham Islands

The **Chatham Islands** (/ˈtʃætəm/ *CHAT-əm*) form an archipelago in the Pacific Ocean about 800 kilometres (500 mi) east of the South Island of New Zealand. Politically, they are part of New Zealand. The archipelago consists of about ten islands within an approximate 60-kilometre (37 mi) radius, the largest of which are Chatham Island and Pitt Island. Some of these islands, formerly cleared for farming, are now preserved as nature reserves to conserve some of the unique flora and fauna. As of 2013 the islands had a resident population of 600. The local economy depends largely on conservation, tourism, farming, and fishing.

The archipelago is called *Rēkohu* ("*misty sun*") in the indigenous Moriori language, and *Wharekauri* in Māori. The Moriori people, indigenous to the Chatham Islands, arrived around 1500 and developed a peaceful way of life. In 1835 members of the Ngāti Mutunga and Ngāti Tama Māori *iwi* from the North Island of New Zealand invaded the islands and nearly exterminated the Moriori, enslaving the survivors. The Chatham Islands officially became part of the Colony of New Zealand in 1842; in 1863 the resident magistrate declared the Moriori released from slavery.

The Chatham Islands include New Zealand's easternmost point, the Forty-Fours.
Fantasy

*Akata Witch* by Nnedi Okorafor is an amazingly unique fantasy tale. She weaves traditional NIgerian culture into the mythos of hero seamlessly and creates a beautiful world that invites the reader in for long periods of time. This is the first of the Akata trilogy and should be on the shelf next to Harry Potter, Chronicles of Narnia, and Lord of the Rings.

Me and my boys!

**Welcome to the The Next Generation of Teen Resources Wiki!**
We're a collaborative community website that anyone, including you, can build and expand. Wikis like this one depend on readers getting involved and adding content. This particular Wiki is your destination for amazing teen and young adult literature. Here you will find titles new and familiar with information that will help guide your future literature choices!

Each page is focused on a particular genre and discusses the titles in various ways (except for the graphic novels which are dealt with on separate pages). Below are thumbnails of the titles listed in the Wiki. My name is Stephen and I am always open to feedback and other recommendations. Feel free to reach out with your thoughts :)

Keep in mind this is a limited sampling of the amazing books that are available to you across genres. I focused more on Graphic Novels because that is my passion. One of the coolest things about graphic novels is that they can cover multiple genres at one time. On top of that, many of the strongest characters, especially in classic comics and the most modern releases, are young people who are working hard to figure out their place in the world. Finally, graphic novels often deal with very real issues that impact people across the world. In the words of the late Stan Lee, "Excelsior!"

Magi's Shore Lore

In ancient times, deities from many planes of existence played a game of immense power. They used mediums, champions of there own choosing from man or beast. They called upon warriors and relics from the distant past to the far off future. They played for ritches and glory. But as the age of gods came to an end, they feel the need of these tournaments would no longer be required. Until 5,000 hers later, one man adapted this game into a tabletop card game.
Pronunciation exercises: ĝ vs ĵ

Ĝ sounds /d͡ʒ/ and Ĵ sounds /ʒ/.

**/d͡ʒ/** is an affricate consonant; it can't last long. **/ʒ/** is a fricative consonant; this means it is possible to make it sound for a long time: /ʒʒʒ/. However, in normal speech /ʒ/ has a length similar to other consonants.

In Ido /d͡ʒ/ and /ʒ/ are merged into one sound /ʒ/ (spelled "j" and /j/ is spelled "y"). This means that possibly there aren't many minimal pairs Ĝ-Ĵ in Esperanto

When an English word with /d͡ʒ/ has a cognate in Esperanto sometimes it may have Ĝ (similar pronunciation) and sometimes it may have Ĵ (Esperanto pronunciation is fricative).

## /d͡ʒ/ in English and Ĝ in Esperanto

See Pronunciation exercises: g vs ĝ § Ĝ in Esperanto.
Attributes

Attributes are essentially the "elemental" groups for each Monster Card. There are different cards made to support each "element", and there are popular monsters of each kind. The Attributes are based on the concept of classical elements in popular culture.

Like Covenants, Attributes are not exactly a mandatory concern in most circumstances, many card effects will be implementing Attributes in a variety of ways whether simple stat boosts or complex effect modding.

Monsters can have multiple types: For instance, Legendary Dragon of Light is a LIGHT monster, while Ultima King is a FIRE, WATER, GROUND, WIND and CELESTIAL Monster.

A monster can also have Skills that are reminiscent of their Attribute(s).

An Attribute in the Magi's Shore TCG is analogous to an Attribute in the Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG, an Energy type in the Pokémon TCG and a color in Magic: The Gathering, in that it denotes a monster's "elemental fuel" (mana, energy, etc.) in a way and adds flavor and a sense variety to the game.

Esperanto letter Ĥ

The **Esperanto letter Ĥ** (called ***ĥo***, ***ĥo ĉapela*** or ***ho ĉapela*** in Esperanto and **H-circumflex** in English) represents IPA phoneme /x/. Since the beginning it was the least common letter, and now in most words it has been replaced by K.

## Words that only have Ĥ

* *Ĉeĥio* or *Ĉeĥujo* (the Czech Republic)
* *mariĥuano* or *kanabo* (marijuana)

## Variant words

Words with K are preferred, and newer. Zamenhoff said: "En ĉiuj nove enkondukotaj vortoj oni devas eviti la sonon ĥ kaj uzi anstataŭ ĝi la sonon "k". La ĝisnun jam ekzistantajn vortojn kun "ĥ" estas permesate uzi ankaŭ kun "k". (Leteroj de Zamenhof, SAT, 1948, vol. 2 p. 121.)

* *arĥitekto, arkitekto* (architect); *teĥniko, tekniko* (technique)
* *ĥoro, koruso* (chorus, note that *koro* is heart);

Some words that had Ĥ now may have H

* *azuleĥo, azuleho* (glazed and painted tile)

## Obsolete words

* *Orĥestro,* replaced by *orkestro* (orchestra).

## Proper names

Transliterated names from other alphabets often have Ĥ.

* From Arabic: Omar Ĥajam; English: Omar Khayyam; Spanish: Omar Jayam
* From Cyrillic: Nikita Ĥruŝĉov; English: Nikita Khrushchev; German: Nikita Chruschtschow

Translated names may also have Ĥ

* From Greek: Terpsiĥoro; English: Terpsichore
* From Spanish: Kiĥoto; English: Quixote; Modern Spanish: Quijote

Esperanto letter Ŝ

The **Esperanto letter Ŝ** (called **ŝo**, ***ŝo ĉapela*** or ***so ĉapela*** in Esperanto and **S-circumflex** in English) represents IPA phoneme /ʃ/, like "sh" in English "shoe".

## Common words

* *fiŝo* (fish); *marŝi* (walk); *ŝajni* (seem); *ŝanĝo* (change); *ŝi* (she); *poŝo* (pocket); *poŝtelefono* (cell phone, mobile phone);

## See also

* Pronunciation exercises: s vs ŝ
Esperanto letter J

The **Esperanto letter J** (called ***jo*** in Esperanto) represents IPA phoneme /j/, a semiconsonant.

## At the beginning of the syllable

At the beginning of the syllable Esperanto "j" sounds like English "y" in "yes" or "young".

* *jaro* (year); *jes* (yes); *junulo* (young person); *lernejo* (school); *objekto* (object); *vojaĝo* (trip); *vojo* (way)

## At the end of the syllable

If we make an analogy with Ŭ, "j" can be rendered as /i̯/. In this case "j" is a semivowel that can form the diphthongs *aj, ej, oj* and *uj.*

### oj

Very similar to English /ɔɪ/ as in "boy" /bɔɪ/.

### uj

The sequence "uj" (as in *kiuj)* instead of /ui̯/ (or (uj) may be heard as /wi/. *Kiuj* should be pronounced as /kiui̯/ (secondary stress in the "u"), however it may be heard as /kiwi/ (secondary stress in the second "i"). See Lernu for more opinions.

## References

1. ↑ Lernu, Kiuj sounds like Kiwi?, 19 August 2014.
Esperanto letter Ŭ

The **Esperanto letter Ŭ** (called ***ŭo***, ***ŭo luneta*** or ***u luneta*** in Esperanto and **U-breve** /juː briːv/ in English) represents IPA phoneme /u̯/. It can be used only after "a" or "e". "Aŭ" is pronounced /au̯/ and "eŭ" is pronounced /eu̯/. Some linguists accept /w/ at the end of a syllable. Using that notation "aŭ" is pronounced /aw/ and "eŭ" is pronounced /ew/. The name of the letter is an exception, because /wo/ (or worse /u̯o/) is not part of Esperanto phonetics.
Anime H.E.R.O.

**Anime H.E.R.O.** is a sub-archetype. They are based on characters from shonen anime, such as Anime H.E.R.O. Justine Shinobi, who is based on Naruto Uzumaki from *Naruto*, and Anime H.E.R.O. Deathmeister, who is based on Ichigo Kurosaki from *Bleach*

## Play Style

Anime H.E.R.O.es have skills that are similar to their anime counterparts abilities, such as Anime H.E.R.O. Kitsune Shinobe's Skill called Shadow Clone, who allows it to Special Summon "Ninja Duplicate Tokens" whose POW, HP and DEF that's half of the original's. The main focus of Anime H.E.R.O.es is to Summon as many as possible with Item Cards, then use monsters like Anime H.E.R.O. Legendary Sword to send more to the cemetery in order to Fusion Summon.

Pronunciation exercises: s vs ŝ

S is /s/ and Ŝ is /ʃ/. It may be confusing because sometimes an English cognate may have S in Esperanto and other times it may have Ŝ. This happens mainly before a consonant.

## Ŝ in Esperanto

### S in English and Ŝ in Esperanto

* *ŝlimo* (slime); *ŝtalo* (steel); *ŝtato* (state); *ŝteli* (steal); *ŝtono* (stone);

## S in Esperanto

### S in English and S in Esperanto

* *spaco* (space); *spekti* (watch, cf. spectator); *stelo* (star); *strato* (street); *studo* (study)
Pronunciation exercises: ĉ vs ŝ

Ĉ sounds /t͡ʃ/ and Ŝ sounds /ʃ/.

The difference between /ʃ/ and /t͡ʃ/ is that /ʃ/ is fricative and /t͡ʃ/ is affricate. A fricative sound can last a long time as in shhhh /ʃʃʃʃʃ/ (in this case we have a flow of air). An affricate sound is short, even if it ends in a fricative. In the case of /t͡ʃ/ we have a puff of air.
Esperanto letter R

The **Esperanto letter R** (called ***ro*** in Esperanto) represents IPA phoneme /r/, like "r" in Spanish or Italian "Roma". However in the different editions of the *Fundamento de Esperanto*, Zamenhoff defined "r" as the "r" in the *Fundamento'*s language. This means that /r/ can be realized as [r] (alveolar trill), [ɾ] (alveolar tap), [ʁ] (uvular fricative), or [ɹ] (alveolar approximant, like English "r").
Esperanto letter Ĉ

The **Esperanto letter Ĉ** (called ***ĉo***, ***ĉo ĉapela*** or ***co ĉapela*** in Esperanto and **C-circumflex** in English) represents IPA phoneme /t͡ʃ/, like English "ch" in "chair".

## Common words

* *ĉevalo* (horse), *ĉielo* (sky), *ĉu* (whether, word for yes/no questions)

## *Matĉo*

*Matĉo* (sports match) violates Esperanto phonotactics, because it uses a geminate consonant outside of a compound word.
Pronunciation exercises: g vs ĝ

G is /g/ and Ĝ is /d͡ʒ/. It may be confusing because sometimes an Esperanto cognate of an English word may have Ĝ and other times it may have G.

## Ĝ in Esperanto

### G as /dʒ/ in English and Ĝ in Esperanto

* *aĝo* (age); *anĝelo* (angel); *danĝero* (danger); *ĝenerala* (general, broad); *kuraĝo* (courage); *larĝa* (wide, cf. large); *leĝo* (law, rule, cf. legislation); *Niĝerio* (Nigeria), *Niĝero* (Niger), *paĝo* (page); *saĝa* (wise, cf. sage); *ŝanĝi* (change); *vilaĝo* (village); *vojaĝo* (trip, voyage);

## G in Esperanto

### G as /dʒ/ in English and G in Esperanto

* *Argentino* (Argentina); *Belgio, Belgujo* (Belgium); *Egiptio, Egiptujo* (Egypt); *energio* (energy); *generalo* (general, military rank); *Germanio, Germanujo* (Germany); *gesto* (gesture); *imagi* (imagine); *inteligenta* (intelligent), *legi* (read, cf. legible); *magio* (magic); *originala* (original); *regiono* (region); *religio* (religion); *stranga* (strange);

## Minimal pairs

* *lego* (interpretation), *leĝo* (law)
* *registro* (notes, register in music, linguistics), *reĝistro* (register: location in a computer's CPU)
Pronunciation exercises: s vs z

S is /s/ and Z is /z/. It may be confusing because normally an English cognate with a /z/ sound has Z in Esperanto but sometimes it may have S.

## Esperanto matches the English sound

### S in English as /z/ and Z in Esperanto

* *dezerto* (desert); *dizerti* (to desert); *kaŭzo* (cause); *dezajno* (design); *rezulto* (result); *surprizo* (surprise); *viziti* (visit);

### S in English as /s/ and S in Esperanto

* *ĉesi* (stop, cf. cease); *gaso* (gas); *graso* (fat, cf. grease); *promeso* (promise);

### SS in English as /s/ and S in Esperanto

* *address* (adreso); *klaso* (class); *kongreso* (congress); *mesaĝo* (message); *necesa* (necessary); *progreso* (progress); *sukceso* (success)

## Esperanto doesn't match the English sound

### S in English as /s/ and Z in Esperanto

* *baza* (basic); *konciza* (concise); *paradizo* (paradise); *preciza* (precise)

## Two sounds in English and one sound in Esperanto

### Z in Esperanto

* *ekskuzo* (excuse /ɪkˈskjuːs/), *ekzkuzi* (excuse /ɪkˈskjuːz/); *misuzo* (abuse /əˈbjuːs/, *misuzi* (abuse /əˈbjuːz/); *uzo* (use /juːs/), *uzi* (use /juːz/);

## Minimal pairs

* *baso* (bass voice) - *bazo* (basis, base); *deserto* (dessert) - *dezerto* (desert /ˈdɛzərt/); *diserti* (dissert) - *dizerti* (desert /dɪˈzɜːrt/); *gaso* (gas) - *gazo* (gauze); *roso* (dew) - *rozo* (rose);

## The Nickel Boys

Colson Whitehead delves into a secret history of abuse and death in a fictional Florida school.  While the location is made up, the story is all too real and is finally coming to the light of day.  Whitehead takes us on a journey that has too long gone untold.

Historical Fiction

This delightful tale is set in Victorian England and is focused on Tessa and a group of demon fighters known as the Shadowhunters.  Tessa arrives in London only after being invited by her brother. Unfortunately, he is nowhere to be found and that is when Tessa’s adventures begin.  She is hidden away by a secretive group of dark forces, the Pandemonium Club, which includes mundanes (humans), demons, vampires, and other Downworlders (supernatural creatures) in its ranks.  Tessa soon discovers she has abilities of her own- she can take on the shape of anyone as long as you can hold something that belonged to them- and shortly thereafter embarks with the Shadowhunters to look for her brother and the mysterious leader of the Pandemonium Club, The Magister.  Tessa will learn that not all the answers she seeks are the answers she wants.

While this story is in the same vein of The Bartimaeus Trilogy, the Harry Potter Series, and numerous other supernatural tales, it is clear the author researched the time period and put a great deal of effort in her writing.  The characters and their relationships do help drive the story but only to a degree. I recommend this book for any teen or advanced reader and believe it would be a fine addition to a school or public library.

Biography

## Chinese Cinderella

Adeline Yen Mah's heartbreaking memoir is told in simple, vivid language and recounts her experience as Wu Mei (Fifth Daughter) and Adeline, the name given her by her stepmother.  Much of the story stems back from her association with the death of her mother (who died shortly after giving birth to Adeline).  That defining moment created the relationship she was to have with her siblings for the rest of her life.  It also created the circumstances in which her father remarried the woman referred to as Niang (Mother).  The relationship with Niang and her children led to great grief and trauma for Adeline.  No matter how successful she came to be, and Adeline was extremely successful throughout school, it was not until much later when Adeline entered a play writing contest that she finally felt some level of respect from her father.

This real life fairy tale is a reminder of the fragility and strength of the human spirit.  It is a wonderful juxtaposition that is expressed in short, direct chapters with powerful emotion and direct statements.  I highly recommend this for anyone in fourth grade (maybe third, depending on their experiences and interest) though late adulthood.  It is a story that has the potential to touch everyone.

Graphic Novels- Low

*Low*, a dystopian tale of a future where humanity is forced to live in the oceans because of a dying sun, is horrific, frightening, beautiful, ugly, and hopeless. Unless you are Stel Caine. Rick Remender has created her character to show the strength of the human spirit in the face of an endless barrage of despair and he does so with aplomb. In fact, her hope is infectious and one of the most powerful threads throughout the first four books.

Stel's family, Johl (husband), Tajo and Della (daughters), and Marik (son) deals with tragedy that would destroy almost any one person. When all seems lost, however, Stel's hope inspires and pushes them forward. Each of them makes choices that allows them to survive but eventually realize that life is about more than just survival. Throughout the series, Greg Tocchini's drawings have amazing details and fluidity and immerse the reader in the world. His color work, and as of issue #8, Dave McCaig's, is stunning. The character's feelings are reflected in the color choices and support the fantastic writing.

Other than Stel and her hope, there are two driving forces in *Low*: the Helm and the probe. The Helm is the most powerful weapon in all of the ocean- a suit that enables the pilot to defend, or destroy, an entire city. This suit can only be piloted by the Caine family and is coveted by many. The probe is one of many that were sent out to explore the universe for a habitable world. This particular probe may have retrieved data about a new home for humanity. The only way to get to it is travel to the surface and be the first people to set foot on a scorched Earth.

These titles are rated M for Mature because of nudity, sexual content, and violence.

The first four books are:

*The Delirium of Hope*

*Before the Dawn Burns Us*

*Shore of the Dying Light*

*Outer Aspects of Inner Attitudes*

Aethelred III was king of Freland from 852 until 901 he had a 49 year reign.

Aethelred was born in Coden in 849 when he was 3 years old his father was assinated and so Aethelreds older brother was going to take the throne however Peter did not take the throne after marrying a Gothburgian and so the throne passed to Aethelred because of this Aethelreds aunt Elizabeth became regent however she decided to restore the powers of the priest and influenced Aethelred to not be like his father and respect the priest.

In 866 Aethelred asked his aunt to step down as regent but she refused and so he ordered her to be executed After becoming King Aethelred began planning to invade nearby countries first of all he invaded Danelaw but was unsuccessful and was forced to retreat but in 874 he began an invasion of Romulus and was able to capture the Coastal Burgundian City of Danmerck however the city was recaptured by Romulus in 881 a year later though he invaded Romulus again but once again failed.

In 885 Aethelred once began an invasion to take Burgundy this time was the closest he came after he made a deal with the Duke of Oldenburg to help him which he did with them taking most of Burdgundy however the Romulans retaliated and attacked Faro but Aethelred refused to give up and prepared for a siege of Burgundy's capital but once gain he failed was force to give up the attack.

In 901 Henry died of a problem with his bowels.
