An earlier group were first thought to reach the top in 1936.
However, at the time it was not known which summit was the highest.
They were able to climb two peaks but not what is now known to be the highest one.

Nostalgia is an emotion.
It is the feeling of enjoying events from the past.
People with nostalgia will often look at or use old things that they were familiar with years ago.
This is because people feel more connected to those past times that they enjoyed, usually because it reminds them of how long it has been since they last connected to such past times.
Examples where people may have the feeling of nostalgia includes watching old TV shows, using old technology that was very enjoyable, and playing with toys that you played with as a child.
During the early Greek times, nostalgia was treated as a mental condition primarily based on extreme homesickness.
In modern times, however, nostalgia is treated as a separate emotion.
Nostalgia is often associated with positive feelings, often associated with positive memories of the past.
The feeling of nostalgia often helps improve the mood of the person who is experiencing nostalgia.
It also makes the person feel more connected to society.
It can make the person feel more aware about living life to the best.
Nostalgia is also shown to help reinforce memories, as well as assist with learning.

An Axel jump is a jump in figure skating.
It is the most famous and recognizable skating jump.
It starts with the skater going forward.
It is the only jump that does and that helps people know that the jump is an Axel jump.
Because all skating jumps are landed going backwards, the Axel jump has an extra half rotation (full circle) in the air than all other skating jumps.
The first skater to do a double Axel in competition was Dick Button, and Carol Heiss Jenkins was the first woman to do it.
The first skater to do a triple Axel in competition was Vern Taylor.
The first woman to do it was Midori Ito.
The first pairs skater to do a throw triple Axel (he helps her with the jump) were Rena Inoue & John Baldwin.
It is not known who did the first throw double Axel.
The Axel can be a single Axel (1 and a half rotations in the air), a double Axel (two and a half rotations in the air), or a triple Axel (three and a half rotations in the air).
Most junior and senior skaters do a double Axel.
Only 15 female figure skaters have done a ratified triple Axel in competition: Midori Ito (the first one to do it), Tonya Harding, Yukari Nakano, Ludmila Nelidina, Mao Asada (the first one to land three triple Axels in one competition), Kimmie Meissner, Elizaveta Tuktamysheva, Rika Kihira, Mirai Nagasu, Alysa Liu, Ayaka Hosoda, Alena Kostornaia, Sofia Akatieva, Sofia Samodelkina, and Young You.
Only 11 have done it in ISU-sanctioned international competitions (Kimmie Meissner, Sofia Akatieva, Sofia Samodelkina, and Ayaka Hosoda did triple axels at national championships).
Because the Axel is the most famous skating jump, many people make a mistake and call all skating jumps as Axel jumps.
This has led to many mistakes in sports reporting of figure skating, for example a report in 2006 saying that Miki Ando was the first female skater to land a quad Salchow in an international competition, which is a different jump.

In 2003, she won the Novice title at the United States nationals.
In 2004, she won the Junior title.

A valediction  is a phrase used to say goodbye at the end of a letter.
It also refers to the act of saying goodbye to someone.
It comes from the Latin vale dicere, which means "to say farewell".
Valedictions are normally written before the signature in a written message.
The words used usually express respect or regard for the person to whom the message is written.
English valedictions often contain the possessive pronoun "yours"; for example, Yours truly.
In the United Kingdom, Yours sincerely or Yours faithfully are most common.
In old letters, Yours truly was often replaced with a longer sentence, for example:
I beg to remain, Sir, your most humble and obedient servant,
A. Name
Yours sincerely is used when the person sending the letter knows the name of the person receiving the letter.
Yours faithfully is used when the person who is receiving the letter is not known by name (i.e. the recipient is addressed by a phrase such as "Dear Sir/Madam").
Drama and poetry
Valedictions may be a prophecy, a warning or just a comment.
In some types of literature, everyone is allowed a last word.
In Njall's Saga, men tend to say things like "Oh, you have chopped off my arm", before dying.
Stock characters tend to say predictable things.
But in Shakespeare they are the way he moves the action along.
Macbeth meets the three witches, who foretell his downfall without him realising it.
They hail him as "Thane of Glamis and Cawdor", and that "he shall be King".
He will not be defeated "until Birnam wood move to high Dunsinane".

Asphyxia or asphyxiation is a condition when a living body does not get enough oxygen.
If this condition lasts long enough it can lead to unconsciousness, brain damage and death.
Asphyxia can injure or kill people.
This sometimes happens during suicide, torture, and in warfare.
It can also be used as a capital punishment.
It is also sometimes used nonfatally in martial arts, combat sports, and in some types of sex play.
Because the need to breathe is controlled by the amount of carbon dioxide in the blood, some victims may not experience an urgent need to breathe and may remain unaware of the shortage of oxygen in their body.

The Shushi massacres  were anti-Armenian pogroms during the Armenian-Azerbaijani war, 1920, when Azeri and Turkish army soldiers with participation of Kurdish gangs attacked the inhabitants of Shushi.
The massacres took place on March 22-26, 1920, and resulted in more than
On June 4-5, 1919, an armed Armenian-Turkish fight took place in Shushi.
It was organized and started by Azeri Governor-General Khosrov beg Sultanov.
The town was closed off by a blockade, and the Armenian population found itself needing food.
Massacres in Shushi on March 22-26, 1920
From the very start of 1920, Governor Sultanov, breaking the  temporary treaty agreement of August 22, 1919, continued the blockade around Karabakh.
He increased the number of armed forces in strategically important locations and gave weapons to the local Azeri population.
Research analyst Kalli Raptis in her book Nagorno-Karabakh and the Eurasian Transport Corridor wrote: "'In July 1918, the First Armenian Assembly of Nagorno Karabakh declared the region self-governing and created a national Council and government.
In August 1919, the Karabakh national Council entered into a provisional treaty arrangement with the Azerbaijani government in order to avoid military conflict with a superior adversary'.
Azerbaijan's violation of the treaty culminated in March 1920 with the massacre of the Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh's capital, Shushi (called Shusha by the Azerbaijanis)".

Mandelstam was born in Warsaw, to a rich Jewish family.
In 1900 Mandelstam entered the prestigious Tenishevsky school, which also counts Vladimir Nabokov and other significant figures of Russian (and Soviet) culture among its alumni.
His first poems were printed in the school's almanac in 1907.
In April 1908 Mandelstam decided to enter the Sorbonne to study literature and philosophy, but he left the following year to attend the University of Heidelberg.
In 1911, in order to continue education in the University of St. Petersburg, he converted to Methodism (which he did not practice) and entered the university the same year.
Mandelstam's poetry, acutely populist in spirit after the first Russian revolution, became closely associated with symbolist imagery, and in 1911 he and several other young Russian poets formed the "Poets' Guild" (Russian: Цех Поэтов, Tsekh Poetov), under the formal leadership of Nikolai Gumilyov and Sergei Gorodetsky.
In 1922 Mandelstam arrived in Moscow with his newlywed wife Nadezhda.
At the same time his second book of poems, Tristia, was published in Berlin.
For several years after that, he almost completely abandoned poetry, concentrating on essays, literary criticism, memoirs (The Din Of Time, Russian: Шум времени, Shum vremeni; Феодосия, Feodosiya – both 1925) and small-format prose (The Egyptian Stamp, Russian: Египетская марка, Yegipetskaya marka – 1928).
As a day job, he translated (19 books in 6 years), then worked as a correspondent for a newspaper.

It forced many people in Fukushima to move away from their homes, especially in the Futaba District.
Until the Meiji Restoration, Fukushima prefecture was known as Mutsu Province.
In 1871, the territories of eleven clans were combined into three prefectures: Fukushima, Wakamatsu and Iwaki.
On August 21 in 1876, they were united to form the current Fukushima Prefecture.
Fukushima is the prefecture that is furthest south in the Tōhoku region.
It is the part of Tōhoku closest to Tokyo.
Tokyo is about 300 kilometres further south.

Juan Crisóstomo de Arriaga y Balzola (born Bilbao 27 January 1806; died Paris 17 January 1826) was an early 19th-century Spanish composer.
He was still only 19 years old when he died.
Like Mozart, he was a child prodigy and he might have become one of the world’s most famous composers if he had lived.
Juan Crisóstomo Arriaga was born in Bilbao, in the Basque Country in Spain.
His father and older brother first taught him music.
He started to compose when he was 11 years old, and by the time he was 15 he had already written 20 works.
Many of these are now lost.
He may have thrown them away, thinking that they were not very good.
In 1921 he went to Paris where he studied the violin with Pierre Baillot, and counterpoint and harmony with François-Joseph Fétis at the Paris Conservatoire.
He was so good that by 1824 he had become a teaching assistant in Fétis's class.
Arriaga has been called “The Spanish Mozart”.
His music, however, does not sound particularly Spanish.
It has a more general European character, based on the style of Mozart and Beethoven.
He wrote a symphony which sounds at times like Schubert.
He also wrote an opera Los esclavos felices ("The Happy Slaves"), and three string quartets.
The string quartets were the only works that were published while he was still alive.

The Conservatoire de Paris (Paris Conservatoire) is a music conservatory where students can study dance, drama and music.
It has now been split into two "Conservatoires".
One is for Acting, Theatre and Drama and is called the Conservatoire National Supérieur d'Art Dramatique (CNSAD).
It is in the old building in the centre of Paris.
The other is called  Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris.
It is farther from the centre of the city.
This is where Music and Dance are taught.
The Paris Conservatoire has been famous for music since it was formed in 1795.
Nearly all famous French composers and performing musicians studied there, and many young musicians came from abroad to study.
It was, and still is, one of the best places to study music in the world.

The Prix de Rome was a scholarship (money prize) for art students in Paris.
It was created in 1663 in France when Louis XIV was reigning.
Every year the prize was given to promising young painters, sculptors, and architects.
They had to finish a very difficult piece of work to show that they deserved to win the prize.
The person who won the prize would get money so that he could go to Rome for a year to study.
Sometimes they were allowed to stay longer if they were doing exceptionally good work.
In 1803, music was added to the subjects, and in 1804 engraving was added.
Sometimes people won “second prize” which allowed them to study for a shorter period.
Many artists who won the Prix de Rome are now almost forgotten.
On the other hand, there are many artists who became very famous but did not win the Prix de Rome.
These people include Augustin Pajou Eugène Delacroix, Edouard Manet, Edgar Degas and the composers Ernest Chausson and Maurice Ravel.
Ravel tried five times to win it.
There was a big argument about this at the Paris Conservatoire, and rules were reorganized after that.

Officer railway station is an ummanned railway station in Officer, Victoria.
It is located in Metcard Zone 2.
The letter ß (also known as sharp S, German: Eszett or scharfes S) is a letter in the German alphabet.
It is the only German letter that is not part of the basic Latin alphabet.
The letter is pronounced   (like the "s" in "see") and is not used in any other language.
Today's ß was created around the 1900s. (
See w:en:ß and w:de:ß for details on the so-called "Sulzbacher Form".)
It has two origins, one in Blackletter and one in Roman type (also called Antiqua).
The letter came from the long s (ſ) and the normal z. Written fast by hand, they over time joined together to form a single glyph.
The ß is used only in German and never at the start of German words.
The uppercase ß (ẞ) exists only for typesetting, such as in a dictionary.
Instead of lowercase ß, one can also write ss.
As no words start with double s or ß, no uppercase ß is necessary.
However, not every ss can be written as ß.
German often puts two or more words together to make a longer word.
If the new word has ss, it cannot be written as ß.
For example, Voßstraße is two words joined together (Voß and straße).
It can also be written as Vossstraße but not as Vosßtraße because sstraße (or ßtraße) is not a word, and the ß is in the word Voss (Voß).
The rules for German orthography have changed since 1996.
Many common words that used to be written with ß are now written with ss.
For example, Fluß (river) is now spelled Fluss.
When the preceding vowel is short, as in Fluss, ss is used.
However, the ß is used when the preceding vowel is long as in Straße.
