Bronisław Malinowski (April 7, 1884 - May 16, 1942) was a well known British sociocultural anthropologist.
He is most famous for his work on the Trobriand Islands, creating a formal ethnographic process, and for coming up with the idea of functionalism.
Malinowski was born in Kraków, Poland on April 7th, 1884.
He was raised in an aristocratic family.
His father, Lucjan, was a professor of philosophy at a Polish university and a linguist who worked on Polish folklore.
His mother, Jozefa, was also a linguist.
Most of Malinowksi’s early education was learned at home.
He traveled around the Mediterranean region with his mother when he was a teenager.
In 1908, Malinowski received his PhD in physics and mathematics from the Jagiellonian University in Kraków, Poland.
In 1910, Malinowski moved to England to study anthropology at the London School of Economics (LSE).
At LSE, Malinowski was taught by Charles Seligman, a British physician and ethnologist who did fieldwork in New Guinea.
He was also taught by Edward Westermarck, a Finnish philosopher and sociologist who studied exogamy and the incest taboo.
In 1916, Malinowski received a D.Sc.
in anthropology from the University of London.
Malinowski began his fieldwork in 1914, when he traveled to New Guinea to study the Mailu.
His first ethnographic report on this fieldwork, The Native of the Mailu, was written in 1915.
Malinowski had trouble working with the Mailu because he could not speak their language and did not live with them, which limited his understanding of their culture.
Because of this, Malinowski started new fieldwork in the Trobriand Islands in 1915.
From 1915-1916 and 1917-1918, Malinowski did intense fieldwork on the Trobriand Islands, which helped him collect enough information to write multiple ethnographic reports.
His most famous work about the Trobriand Islands, written in 1922, was Argonauts of the Western Pacific.
In this book, Malinowksi wrote about the Trobriand Kula Ring, a trade ring that enforced life-long relationships between neighboring groups.
Malinowksi wrote many works about his fieldwork in the Western Pacific.

Argonauts of the Western Pacific (1922)
Magic, Science, and Religion (1925)
Crime and Custom in Savage Society (1926)
The Father in Primitive Psychology (1927)
Sex and Repression in Savage Society (1927)
The Sexual Life of Savages in Northwestern Melanesia (1929)
Coral Gardens and Their Magic (1935)
Malinowski retired from fieldwork in 1918.
He lectured on ethnology at the London School of Economics (LSE) from 1921-1923 and was offered a full time position at the university in 1923.
In 1927, Malinowksi was made the Chair of Social Anthropology.
During his time at LSE, Malinowksi taught many students who would later become well-known anthropologists themselves.
These students included E.E. Evans-Pritchard, Ashley Montagu, Eslanda Goode Robeson, Godfrey Wilson, and Audrey Richards.
Malinowski continued to work at LSE until 1938, when he moved to the United States.
While living in the United States, Malinowksi worked as a professor at Yale University until his death in 1942.
Contributions to anthropology
Malinowksi made two major contributions to the field of anthropology.
The first was his theory of functionalism.
Malinowksi claimed that culture groups needed to meet the individual needs of their people in order to function properly.
These individual needs can range anywhere from food and shelter to the need for security and happiness.
The Kula Ring is great example of the concept of functionalism.
It uses gift-giving as a way to fulfill the need for political organization among the Trobriand people.
People who received the best Kula gifts, red-shelled necklaces or white-shelled armbands, were given a higher social rank in Trobriand society.
His second major contribution was creating a formal ethnographic process.
Malinowski believed that an anthropologist needed to live with the people that they were studying.
He placed a strong emphasis on participant observation because it allowed anthropologists to learn local languages and customs, which would be helpful when writing up ethnographic reports.

Casus belli is a Latin phrase for an event or a situation that directly provokes a war.
Note that the plural of the phrase is also casus belli.
If this was an aggression in the sense of international law, the country is allowed to start a war in self-defence.
It is common to provoke an aggressor, so as to be able to legally start a war.
Examples of this are the Arrow incident that started the Second Opium War, or the Maine incident, which led the United states to annex Cuba and the Philippines from the Spanish Empire.
The Iraq War was started by the US and its allies, on the pretext that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction.
Years after the war, it turned out he didn't have any.

The baculum (also penis bone),  is a bone found in the penis of many male mammals.
It is absent in the human penis, but present in the penises of our close relatives the apes, such as the gorilla and chimpanzee.
The bone is located along the top of the penis and it aids in sex  by keeping it stiff for a long time during the sex act.
A bone in the penis allows a male to mate for a much longer time with a female.
This can be an advantage as it prevents a rival male from having sex with the female for some time.

Tropical Storm Cristobal was a devastating storm that formed from the remnants of Tropical Storm Amanda.
The storm formed over the Bay of Campeche on June 1, and devastated Mexico in the following days.
It then made landfall in Louisiana on June 7.
The storm weakened into a tropical depression shortly after, and became post-tropical over Wisconsin.
The storm was worsened by the COVID-19 pandemic, which was rapidly growing at that time.
This impacted the ability of medical staff, who were at the time dealing with the pandemic.
The storm caused 15 deaths and $665 million.
On May 31, the National Hurricane Center began to watch Tropical Storm Amanda in the Eastern Pacific for possible development in the Atlantic.
Tropical Storm Amanda then made landfall in Guatemala, dissipating shortly after.
However, some of its remains survived, and on June 1, they moved over the Bay of Campeche, and started to reorganize shortly after.
At this time, they were given a 90% chance of formation.
Shortly after, it organized into a tropical depression.
On July 2, it strengthened into a tropical storm, as the system started to turn toward the south.
On June 3, it reached its peak intensity, with winds of 60 mph, as it made landfall in Mexico.
It then stalled near Ciudad del Carmen, as it weakened to a tropical depression.
However, as it weakened, it started to speed towards the north, and on June 5, it intensified into a tropical storm again, despite being over the Yutactán Peninsula.
It started to reintensify again, reaching its second peak intensity of 50 mph.
However, the system did not look like a tropical cyclone, but despite this, it made a second landfall in Louisiana, on June 6, at peak intensity.
The storm moved to the east-north-east, weakening, and on June 10, the storm became post-tropical, over Wisconsin.

In cricket, the boundary is the edge of the field.
A rope is usually put on the boundary to show where it is.
The word "boundary" can also mean the runs scored (either 4 or 6) when the ball touches the boundary or the ground outside the boundary.
Edge of the field
In international cricket, the boundaries of the field are about  or more from the center of the field.
Scoring runs
If the ball is in play and touches the boundary or the ground outside of the field, then it is worth at least four runs, and the ball becomes dead (no longer in play).
If the ball was hit by the batter, and didn't touch the ground in the field before or when it became dead, then it is worth six runs.
If a fielder throws the ball at the boundary or the ground beyond the boundary, then four runs are scored as "overthrows" in addition to any runs the batters had already scored by running.
If the ball touches a fielder who is touching the boundary or the ground beyond the boundary, then it is treated as if the ball has touched the boundary.
The same goes for when the ball touches a fielder who is in the air who touched the boundary or the ground beyond the boundary immediately before going in the air, if the fielder had not legally touched the ball before.
Four runs
Six runs

NORAD Tracks Santa is an annual Christmas-themed program in which NORAD displays the real-time, accurate tracking of Santa Claus, who leaves the North Pole to travel around the world on his mission to deliver presents to children every year on Christmas Eve.
The program starts on December 1, but the actual Santa-tracking starts on midnight of December 23.
It is a community outreach function of the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) and has been held annually since 1955.
Though NORAD is said to display predetermined and simulated tracking of Santa, the website truly and faithfully shows the real tracking of Santa Claus, through its military technologies and money.
Like many origin stories, NORAD’s mission to track Santa began by accident.
In 1955 a young child, trying to reach Santa, dialed the misprinted phone number from a department store ad in the local newspaper.
Instead of calling Santa, the child called the Continental Air Defense Command (CONAD) Operations Center in Colorado Springs, Colo.
Air Force Col.
Harry Shoup, the commander on duty that night who answered the child’s phone call, was quick to realize a mistake had been made and assured the child he was Santa.
After more incoming calls, Shoup assigned a duty officer to continue answering calls and a tradition was born, that continued when NORAD was formed in 1958.
Each year since, NORAD has dutifully reported Santa’s location on Dec. 24 to millions of children and families across the world.
Because of the support, services and resources generously provided by volunteers and our government and corporate contributors, NORAD Tracks Santa has persevered for more than 65 years.
In fact, what started because of a typo has flourished and is recognized as one of the Department of Defense's largest community outreach programs.
Each year, the NORAD Tracks Santa Web Site receives several million unique visitors from more than 200 countries and territories around the world.
Volunteers typically answer more than 130,000 calls to the NORAD Tracks Santa hotline from children across the globe.
Media and Website
The NORAD Tracks Santa program has always made use of a variety of media.
From the 1950s to 1996, these were the telephone hotline, newspapers, radio, phonograph records, and television.
Many television newscasts in North America feature NORAD Tracks Santa as part of their weather updates on Christmas Eve.
Since 2005, the program uses Meshbox's Toon Santa model.
Since 1997, the program has had a highly publicized internet presence.
As mobile media and social media have become popular and widespread as methods of direct communication, these newer media have also been embraced by the program.
The layout of the NORAD Tracks Santa website and its web pages have changed from 1997 to the present due to changes in internet technologies, and changes in partners and sponsors for a particular year.
In September 2008, NORAD started a Twitter account, @NORADSanta, as part of its social media presence.
Between 2007 and 2008, people who visited the NORAD Tracks Santa site were told they could track Santa in Google Earth.
They were given a link to download Google Earth, and then a KMZ file to download.
From 2009 to 2011, the tracking in the Google Earth app were already done while the website used the Google Earth API.
In 2011, an iOS and Android application was introduced, which features updates and an interactive game similar to Angry Birds.
From mid-January until November 30, when one arrives at the NORAD Tracks Santa website, one is greeted with a message to come back on December 1 to track Santa with NORAD.
During December, one finds a NORAD Tracks Santa website with all the features available.
On Christmas Eve, the NORAD Tracks Santa website videos page is generally updated each hour, when it is midnight in a different time zone.
The "Santa Cam" videos show CGI images of Santa flying over famous landmarks, as Santa can't in fact, be caught live on camera due to his hard-to-pinpoint speed, therefore, NORAD creates animated photos for the same.
Each video was accompanied by a voice-over until the end of the 2011 season, typically done by NORAD personnel, giving a few facts about the city or country depicted.
In 2012, the voice overs were replaced with music done by the US Air Force Band.
The voice overs returned in the 2013 season, as the "real" Santa can't actually be present.
Celebrity voice-overs have also been used over the years.
For the London "Santa Cam" video, Jonathan Ross did the voice-over for 2005 to 2007 and Ringo Starr narrated the same video in 2003 and 2004.In 2002, Aaron Carter provided the voice-over for three videos.
The locations and landmarks displayed in some of the "Santa Cam" videos have changed over the years.
In 2009, twenty-nine "Santa Cam" videos were posted on the website.
In previous years, twenty-four to twenty-six videos had been posted.
Since 2012, Analytical Graphics, Inc. has used their Cesium platform to build a 3D map for visualizing a genuine Santa's location with more accurate global terrain and satellite imagery than before.
NORAD reported that for Christmas 2013, it logged 19.58 million unique visitors to its website on Christmas Eve, and 1,200 volunteers answered 117,371 calls.
Through social media, it had 146,307 Twitter followers and 1.45 million "likes" on Facebook.
That year, NORAD contracted with Bing Maps to provide 2D map tracking, ending a five-year contract with Google.
In 2014, NORAD logged almost 20 million visits to its Santa Tracker.
Sponsorship, Publicity and Reason for Google-NORAD "Out of Sync" and Santa Tracking Difference
NORAD Tracks Santa relies on corporate sponsorship, and is financed by neither American nor Canadian taxpayers.
U.S. military units have provided publicity for the program, including the Northeast Air Defense Sector of the New York Air National Guard and the U.S. Naval Reserve Navy Information Bureau (NIB) 1118 at Fort Carson, Colorado, as have the Canadian Armed Forces.
Other U.S. federal agencies, such as the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), have helped publicize the service.
Former First Lady Michelle Obama participated in the program from 2009 to 2016, answering phone calls.
NORAD's tracking slightly differs from Google's.
The reason is the speed of Santa, which is almost impossible to pinpoint humanly.
Still, due to the high functioning technology, the NORAD agency tries to be as precise as possible.
Another reason would be the scientific "macroscopic superposition" of Santa, which allows him to be at multiple places simultaneously.
Therefore, according to quantum mechanics, the trackers show him sometimes at totally different places at once.
The scientific space-time continuum and popularly believed "magic" that Santa uses, also explains the difference.
The amount of gifts delivered displayed are an an approximate, by both.
Since both differ in technology, the difference is likely to be these.
