Qin Shi Huang (; 18 February 259 B.C.  – 10 September 210 B.C.) was the founder of the Qin dynasty and was the first emperor of a unified China.
He was born Ying Zheng () or  Zhao Zheng (), a prince of the state of Qin.
He  became the King Zheng of Qin () when he was thirteen, then China's first emperor when he was 38 after the Qin had ruled all of the other Warring States and unified all of China in 221 BC.
The First Emperor's father Yiren was the grandson (son of the son) of Ze, the ruler of Qin.
The rulers of Qin and Zhao were from the same family, but the two lands fought against one another frequently.
They wanted to make peace.
King Ze gave his grandson Yiren to the leaders of Zhao so that, if Qin started to fight Zhao, the ruler of Zhao would kill Yiren and his family.
Because King Ze would not want that, the ruler of Zhao was able to have less fear that Qin would fight him. (
He also sent people from his family as prisoners to Qin so that things were even.)
While Yiren was a prisoner in Zhao, he met a trader named Lü Buwei.
Lü knew that, when King Ze went to death, Yiren's father Lord Anguo would be the leader of Qin.
Lü also knew that Yiren had many brothers but Yiren's father loved a woman who had no son.
Lü worked hard to make that woman adopt Yiren (take him up as her son); Yiren even changed his name to Zichu ("son of Chu") because his new "mother" was from a land named Chu.
Lü's design turned out well: he and Zichu secretly went out from Zhao and, when Ze and Lord Anguo died, Zichu got to be the ruler of Qin.
The ruler of Zhao was angry but Zheng's mother hid.
He was not able to kill her or her son.
Zheng's mother had been the girlfriend of Lü Buwei, but Lü gave her to Yiren when he fell in love with her.
Sima Qian was not certain that Zheng was the son of Zichu and not the son of Lü Buwei, but most people thought that he was the son of Zichu, ruler of Qin.
When Zichu died, Zheng got to be the new ruler of Qin.
Because he was still very young when this took place, his mother and Lü Buwei were the true rulers.
Time of ruling
Later, Zheng was older and put Lü Buwei and his mother's new boyfriend to death.
He put his mother away as a prisoner as well.
Now, Zheng and his helper Li Si ruled Qin.
Their ideas are called Legalism.
It said that the old ways of doing things were not good: if everyone did as ordered by the ruler and by his laws, things would be much better.
The best way to run a country was for the ruler to have all the power.
That way, no one would be able to fight or hurt other people.
As the ruler of Qin, Zheng liked these ideas; as the ruler of China, he said they would be the only ideas.
He made Confucianism and other old ideas against the law.
Only the library in his palace (great house) was able to have books with any old ideas or with other people's accounts of history.
Everyone else would have to read about Legalism and the accounts of history approved by the Emperor.
The First Emperor's men then burned the other books and even killed some of the men who tried to keep them by burying them (putting them under the earth).
As the ruler of China, the First Emperor ordered great undertakings: his men put together earlier bits into a Great Wall of China and made a new river—the Lingqu Canal—so that boats were able to go from the Yangtze River in the middle of China to the Pearl River in the south.
He ordered a large number of new roads and a tomb (last resting place) for himself the size of a city.
This resting place was looked after by the thousands of statues of the Terracotta Army.
Many people did not like doing as the First Emperor ordered: Sima Qian wrote about three men who made attempts to kill the First Emperor.
All three came to nothing.
The First Emperor did not want to die.
He went to Shandong and Jiangsu to look for people who would be able to make him live forever.
No one was able to do that, but some people think that Xu Fu's journeys to look for Mount Penglai were important for Japan.
This was about the time Japan's early Jōmon stage ended and its Yayoi stage started.
The Yayoi time was the start of farming and the start of large countries in Japan.
The First Emperor died in 210  BC.
The First Emperor had many sons, but his helpers Li Si and Zhao Gao tricked the one he liked into killing himself.
That way, a younger son became the Second Emperor and Li Si and Zhao Gao was able to be the true rulers for a while.
The time when the First Emperor's family ruled China is named the Qin Dynasty, but it was very short.
After the Qin, there was fighting that accidentally burned all the old books placed in the First Emperor's library.
Then, there was more fighting before Liu Bei came out on top and got to be the new ruler of China.
His family was named the Han Dynasty.

During World War II , today this little village was the center of many important events.
It was in an area of operations more local and major partisan formations, and in 1943/1944, and headquarters support unit of the Supreme Headquarters of the NLA.
In fact, before the second session of AVNOJ in Jajce (1943), here he was Supreme Partisan Headquarters, led by Josip Broz Tito.
Tito himself was placed under Petrovo Polje, in the village of Kovačevići, home reputable host Husein Kovačević, councilors of the local People's Committee Šiprage (Committee Chairman: Ismet Hadžiselimović).
To Petrovo Polje partisans have built a military airport with charged ground surface.

So at this place, before the second session of AVNOJ, in Jajce (1943) the (by parachutes) and hung the English mission in connection with the NLA, headed by Major William Deakin.
In early 1944, on  April 24, the Chetniks attacked the partisan units and their hospital Cor, following the departure of Šiprage.
They therefore focused on three impact areas:
Jalovnik and Vlatkovići,  over Imljani,
Šiprage over Petrovo Polje, and
Kruševo Brdo over Lisina Mauntin (1493 m).
The majority of Chetnik Force in the field headed by Petrovo Polje and Lisina Mountain.
By winning the dominant areas Lisina, would open the quickest way to advance (via Ilomska) to the Hospital.
Over Imljani and Petrovo Polje  attacked the Chetniks from Manjača (the Chetnik detachments "Kočić", "King Petar II Karađorđević") and detachment "Obilić" of Lazo Tešanović.
Over Petrovo Polje, according to Lisina, performed famous Chetnik Rade Radić and combined power Chetnik's Battalion "Karadjordje" and "Tankosić", under the command of Mihajlo Đurić .
The entire campaign was commanded Chetnik "commander of the operation",  Major Slavoljub Vranješević .

So the defense Hospitals could only organized the 2nd Battalion detachment and one battalion of 14.
Centralbosnian Stroke Brigade.
Since all were exhausted typhus, hospital was in great danger.
That is why the headquarters detachment dispatched couriers to seek his 1st Battalion, which was more numerous.
These forces is to be defended part of the front of the river, a left tributary Ilomska to its pouring in Ugar.
The rest of the front, to the north, defended the fighters detachment, with the help of troops from Jajce, with the task of defending the line at all costs, because the penetration of the Chetniks in Korićani was fatal for the hospital and for units that defend it.
Second Battalion detachment had the most about 120 fighters healthy and able to fight.
Coincidentally, he had, will prove decisive weapon : 12 machine guns and heavy machine gun brand "Breda".
When, from the direction of Petrovo Polje, from hot springs Bijeljine, Chetniks went to Lisina partisans fired a machine-gun burst, which made them develop their forces along Ilomska, the front length of about three kilometers.
It is much easier for a planned action of partisans, because the Chetniks were forced to due precautions, ineffective fire while approaching through the dense forest.
In a dramatic showdown on Lisina partisans, thanks to the efficiency of the machine gunners, avoid taking the tactically important positions.
They literally mowed Chetniks in storming the slopes of the mountain to the Ravni Omar, causing him a key and final defeat on this ground.
The Implementation Force (IFOR) was a NATO-led multinational peace enforcement force in Bosnia and Herzegovina under a one-year mandate from 20 December 1995 to 20 December 1996 under the codename Operation Joint Endeavour.
NATO was responsible for carrying out the Dayton Peace Accords.
The Dayton Peace Accords were started on November 22, 1995 by the presidents of Bosnia, Croatia, and Serbia, on behalf of Serbia and the Bosnian Serb Republic.
The actual signing happened in Paris on December 14, 1995.
The accords had three major goals: ending of hostilities, authorization of military and civilian program going into effect, and the establishment of a central Bosnian government while excluding individuals that serve sentences or under indictment by the International War Crimes Tribunals from taking part in the running of the government.
IFOR's specific role was to implement the military Annexes of The General Framework Agreement for Peace (GFAP) in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
IFOR relieved the UN peacekeeping force UNPROFOR, which had originally arrived in 1992, and the transfer of authority was discussed in Security Council Resolution 1031.
Almost 60,000 NATO soldiers in addition to forces from non-NATO nations were deployed to Bosnia.
Operation Decisive Endeavor (SACEUR OPLAN 40105), beginning 6 December 1995, was a subcomponent of Joint Endeavor.
Notably, the failures of EU-led peace plans, the August 1995 Croat Operation Storm and its aftermath, the Bosnian Serb atrocities, in particular the Srebrenica massacre, and the seizure of UNPROFOR peace-keepers as human shields against NATO's Operation Deliberate Force.
Admiral Leighton W. Smith, Jr. (Commander in Chief Allied Forces Southern Europe (CINCSOUTH)) acted as the Joint Force Commander for the operation (also known as Commander IFOR (COMIFOR)).
He commanded the operation from HQs in Zagreb and later from March 1996 from the Residency in Sarajevo.
Lt Gen Michael Walker, Commander  Allied Rapid Reaction Corps (ARRC) acted as the Land Component Commander for the Operation, commanding from HQ ARRC (Forward) based initially in Kiseljak and from late January 1996 from HQ ARRC (Main) Ilidža.
This was NATO's first ever out-of-area land deployment.
At its height, IFOR involved troops from 32 countries and numbered some 54,000 soldiers in-country (BiH) and around 80,000 involved soldiers in total (with support and reserve troops stationed in Croatia, Hungary, Germany, and Italy and also on ships in the Adriatic Sea).
In the initial phases of the operation, much of the initial composition of IFOR consisted of units which had been part of UNPROFOR but remained in place and simply replaced their United Nations insignia with IFOR insignia.

Iron powder is what you get when you crush iron into small pieces.
It is used to make magnets and steel.

Ironstone china, ironstone ware or  just ironstone, is a type of pottery.
It is vitreous (glazed or glassy) pottery made in the United Kingdom in the early 19th century.
It is not earthenware, but is similar to fine stoneware.
There is no iron in ironstone.
Its name is got because it is strong and durable.
Ironstone was developed in the 19th century by potters in Staffordshire.
It sold well as a cheaper alternative to porcelain.
Ironstone in Britain's Staffordshire potteries was made by Charles James Mason after his patent of 1813.
The name "ironstone" later became generally used.
The strength of Mason's ironstone enabled the company to produce ornamental objects of large size.
Their vestibule vaseswere  1.5 metres high.
Mantelpieces were made from several large sections.
Mason's tableware was widely used in hotels and restaurants as well as private homes.
It was usual for commercial clients to have the name of their establishment transfer printed onto the stoneware.
Mason's was not the only manufacturer.
Another high-class pottery was Spode, who made ironstone from 1805 onwards.
They had big exports to France, where ironstone was often preferred to faience pottery.
During the mid-19th century The United states was the largest export market for Staffordshire's potteries.

Jadwiga Szubartowicz (née Skawińska; 16 October 1905 – 20 July 2017), was a Polish supercentenarian.
She was the oldest living person in Poland until her death in 2017.
During the German occupation her brother was arrested.
After being detained for a week at the Majdanek concentration camp, he was released but was later arrested by the Germans in Kraków and sent to the concentration camp in Buchenwald, where he died.
On 1 August 2015, following the death of Jadwiga Młynek (1905–2015), Szubartowicz became the oldest Pole.
The older Yisrael Kristal was born in what is now Poland, but moved to Israel after World War II.
Szubartowicz's age was certified by the Gerontology Research Group who sent her greetings on her 110th birthday which she celebrated on 16 October 2015.
Kristal was born to Jewish parents in Poland, then part of the Russian Empire.
He experienced World War I as a child, and World War II as an adult.
After surviving the Holocaust, he immigrated to Israel.
During World War II he was confined by the Nazi regime to a Jewish ghetto.
His children died in the ghetto, but he and his wife were deported to the Auschwitz concentration camp.
Kristal survived the Holocaust, but his wife did not.
He remarried shortly after the War and, in 1950, emigrated to Haifa, Israel, with his second wife Batsheva, also a survivor of the Holocaust, and their infant child, and lived in Haifa until his death at age 113 years, 330 days.
Kristal celebrated his bar mitzvah in September 2016 at age 113 after being unable to do so at age 13 due to World War I, and was the 16th man to live to age 113.
That year, Kristal, who was the oldest survivor of the Holocaust, also became the world's oldest living man and last living man born in 1903, after Japaneseman Yasutaro Koide's death on January 18 (Koide died January 19 Japanese time).
Kristal died at his home in Haifa on August 11, 2017, just 5 weeks before his 114th birthday, and was succeeded as the world's oldest living man by Spaniard Francisco Núñez Olivera (who, however, was not verified until his death on January 29, 2018 at age 113 years, 47 days).
Kristal was at the time of his death the 9th oldest man ever and the youngest of only 14 verified living people born before 1904.
Saparman Sodimejo, known more commonly as Mbah Gotho (reportedly born 31 December 1870 – 30 April 2017) was an Indonesian man who unverifiably was claimed to have lived over 140 years.
Mbah Gotho himself could not remember his date of birth, but said that he remembered the construction of a sugar factory that was built in 1890.
The local authorities registered him as being over 140 in 2010, and put his birth date to be in 1870 on an ID card issued in 2014.
In May 2010, Solopos reported that the census had recorded his next birthday as his 142nd.
That would have made him 19 years older than the oldest recorded person, Jeanne Calment, was when she died in 1997.
The Liputan 6 website reported that Mbah Gotho's estimated age was 165.
He could not remember his date of birth, but claimed to remember the construction of a sugar factory built in Sragen in 1880.
In August 2016, after a television report on Liputan 6, numerous international media outlets reported Gotho's claim.
They then showed photographs of his ID card (issued in 2014), which displays his claimed birth date.
Although Indonesian officials at the local record office confirmed the birth date there is no independent proof of his claimed age.
That would have been required for the claim about the age to be recognized by record authorities, such as Guinness World Records.
The Indonesian government did not register births before 1900, and there have been errors in the past.
The Gerontology Research Group commented that this extremely high claimed age was "fiction" and "unbelievable".
The story on Liputan 6 noted other similar claims about age.
That included a woman named Maemunah and known as Ambu Unah, who had been claimed to be born in 1867, in Cimanuk, Pandeglang Regency.
