Takariya Napaltjarri (born early 1960s) is an Australian Aboriginal artist.
She paints for the Papunya Tula artists' co-operative.
Takariya was born in the 1960s near Lake Mackay, in Western Australia.
The exact year is not known.
She grew up living a traditional, nomadic way of life in the desert.
Takariya's mother was named Papalya and her father was named Waku.
Her father died not long after she was born.
She had an older sister, Topsy, and an older brother, Warlimpirrnga.
Takariya's family lived in isolation in the desert.
They had never come into contact with Euro-Australian society.
Most of their relatives had been settled into towns on the edges of the desert.
The group's leader, Lanti, had decided that they would stay living in the desert.
Takariya and her family finally came into contact with some of their relatives in 1984.
They were settled at Kiwirrkurra, on the south edge of Lake Mackay.
Takariya was in her mid- to late-20s at the time.
Kiwirrkurra
Shortly after her family arrived at Kiwirrkurra, Takariya was married to Freddy West Tjakamarra.
This was a gesture between the family and the village.
A few years later, Takariya married another man, named Richard Tjakamarra.
Takariya began painting for the Papunya Tula co-operative in June 1996.
Later in the year, she had her first exhibition.
It was a group exhibition called Papunya Women, shown at Utopia Art Gallery in Sydney.
In 1997, her work was included in the Bulada exhibition at the Art Gallery of New South Wales.
She has also painted for Warlayirti Artists at Balgo, where her husband's family lives.
Works by Takariya are held in the Art Gallery of New Wales, as well as in collections overseas.
Her paintings are of sacred dreaming stories and songs.
They are mostly about the Tingari (the ancestors of the Pintupi).
Takariya paints her and her mother's dreaming country.
This includes places like Marrapinti, Ngalpurrunya, Ngaminya, Karilwara, Wirrulnga and Marruwa – places that are sacred to her.

Glima as self-defence was
Glima as a sport  is often called Viking wrestling and covers several types of Scandinavian folk wrestling: Lausatök, Brokartök and Hryggspenna.
Lausatök (Loose-grip or Free-grip) is the most wide spread form of glima practiced in Norway.
It is quite aggressive form of wrestling where the match the winner is considered the one who is standing up while the opponent is lying on the ground.
Hryggspenna (Backhold) is a form of wrestling where the opponents take hold of each other's
the feet has lost.
Brokartök (Trouser-grip) the most widespread in Iceland and Sweden.
In this type of Glima, the wrestlers hold each others trousers by the waistline, or by a special Brokartök glima belt, then attempts to trip and throw their opponent.
Christian priests regarded Glima as a pagan activity and tried to eliminate it when Scandinavia, became Christian.
The people of Scandinavia however thought it good for physical and moral development and continued to practice the sport.
Brokartök glima has been the national sport of Iceland for over 100 years.

Some of the footage was shot in Canada.
It made about 10,000,000 in profit.
It also came out in the United Kingdom and Germany.
In quantum mechanics, a branch of physics, the Bohr model is the model of the atom proposed by Niels Bohr.
Bohr's model is useful only when discussing the behavior of a hydrogen atom.
Bohr's model is extremely useful in describing the hydrogen emission spectrum.
Energy Levels
Where h is Planck's constant, π is pi, and n is the multiples (1,2,3,...).
This formula says that an electron will only be found on the energy levels predicted by the formula, and not anywhere in between.
This means that if an electron jumps from one energy level to the next, it will never be in between energy levels, but will instantaneously be transported from one level to the other.
Bohr's model is also useful because it explains the cause of light.
Bohr agreed with classical theory that light has a wave-particle duality (meaning that it is made of both electromagnetic waves and particles called photons), but he said that light was given off when an electron in a hydrogen atom jumps from a higher energy level to a lower one.
Basically, if an electron with x amount of energy goes to a lower state of energy and loses y energy, then a photon with energy y is emitted by the atom and either becomes light or some other form of radiation.
In quantum mechanics, a branch of physics, a matter wave is when you think of matter as a wave.
The concept of matter waves was first introduced by Louis de Broglie.
Matter waves are hard to visualize, because we are used to thinking of matter as a physical object.
De Broglie revolutionized quantum mechanics by producing the equation for matter waves.
Wavelength of Matter
As experiments on light revealed that photons possessed both wavelike and particular properties, they were considered at the time to have a dual nature as both particles and waves.
De Broglie showed that matter might exhibit such a 'wave-particle duality' as well.
Basing his formula on earlier formulas, he arrived at the equation below.
Where λ is the wavelength of the object, h is Planck's constant, m is the mass of the object, and v is the velocity of the object.
An alternate and also correct version of this formula is
Where p is the momentum. (
Momentum is equal to mass times velocity).
These equations merely say that matter exhibits a particle-like nature in some circumstances, and a wave-like characteristic at other times.
Erwin Schrödinger created an advanced equation based on this formula and the Bohr model, known as the Schrödinger equation.

A county-equivalent in the United States is a type of area that is not inside any county.
The county-equivalents are defined by the federal government.
They are used for administrative and statistical reasons.
As of the 2000 census there were 3,141 county-equivalents in the United States.
The number went down to 3,140 in 2001.
That is because the city of Clifton Forge, Virginia changed from being a city to being a town.
Types of county-equivalents
First type
Louisiana has parishes instead of counties
In Alaska:
Alaska has boroughs instead of a counties
The city of Anchorage is considered a borough under state law
Second type
In Virginia, cities are not legally part of the counties that they are in, so they are considered county-equivalents.
Three other cities in the United States are not legally part of any county: Baltimore, Maryland; Carson City, Nevada; and St. Louis, Missouri.
These three cities are also county-equivalents.
Washington, D.C. is a county-equivalent.
Prior to 1997, the Census Bureau had recognized the portion of Yellowstone National Park within Montana as separate from any county, despite the fact that the State of Montana had recognized this land as being within adjacent counties since 1978.
This area is no longer considered a county equivalent.
Third type
Alaska has boroughs, but the boroughs do not cover the whole state.
The area not covered by boroughs is called the Unorganized Borough.
In 1970, the Unorganized Borough was divided into areas for statistical reasons.
Each of those areas is considered a county-equivalent.

Yvette Marie Stevens (better known as Chaka Khan and born March 23, 1953 near Chicago) is a ten time Grammy Award winning American singer and songwriter.
She first became famous in the 1970s as the main singer for the funk group Rufus.
Khan went solo around 1978, and her hit songs include I Feel for You, I'm Every Woman, Sweet Thing and Through the Fire.
She also got several nominations for American Music Awards.
Khan has been married twice and is the mother of two children, daughter Indira Milini and son Damien Holland.
Khan's first marriage was to Hassan Khan, in 1970, when she was 17.
They divorced a short time later.
Milini's birth was the result of a relationship between Khan and Rahsaan Morris.
Khan married her second husband, Richard Holland, in 1976.
The marriage reportedly caused a rift between Khan and several members of Rufus.
Khan dated a Chicago-area schoolteacher in the mid-1980s in the middle of her solo stardom.
Following their separation, Khan moved to Europe.
She first lived in London, later living in Germany.
In the past, Khan struggled with drug abuse and alcoholism.
Her drug use, which at times included cocaine and heroin, ended sometime in the early 1990s.
Khan would have an on-again, off-again struggle with alcoholism.
In 2005 she said she was sober.
In 2006, her son Damien Holland was accused of murder after 17-year-old Christopher Bailey was shot to death.
Khan testified on her son's behalf defending her son's innocence.
Holland said the shooting was an accident and was found not guilty.
Though she sang at both the 2000 Democratic and Republican conventions, Khan says that she is more of a "Democratic-minded person".
