He has white horns, shaggy orange hair, light blue eyes, a big mouth, a tan muzzle, a beige lower lip, shaggy gray fur, a red beard, a black nose, brown ears, a large patch of red fur on his hunched back, a large patch of orange fur on his chest, a brown head, tan eyelids, four brown legs, and a long brown tail with a long hairy red tassel at the end of it. He wears two pairs of large tennis shoes on all four of his hooves. He also wears a large gold hoop earring on either his left ear, or his right ear, and a pair of sunglasses for several occasions. As such, even as it implies, he is named after the 1958 song of the same name by The Coasters. Being a professional rapper first and foremost, Yakety is a good friend to MC Skat Kat, Bugs Bunny, the Stray Mob members Micetro, Fatz, Taboo, Leo, Katleen, and Silk, and Tibi the Take it Back Butterfly and her family and friends, among many other Warner Bros. animated characters. In reality, he is actually Skat Kat's yak friend and associate. Like Skat Kat before him, Yakety also has a relationship with Paula Abdul, as shown in Looney Tunes: Back in Action, among many of his appearances. He is very silly, goofy, loveable, and comical to everyone around him. He even puts Porky Pig's famous catchphrase ("Th-Th-Th-Th-Th-That's all, folks!") to shame, as evident in the ending of the Yakety Yak, Take it Back music video. He can also be vicious, furious, and dangerous to those, including Abdul, around him, who refuse to take anything they wanted back, and he has to attack them by headbutting them in the rear ends with his horns. Yakety's catchphrase is "Yakety Yak, Take it Back!". According to producer John Kafka, the Skat Strut music video, and the Big Time music video both were an attempt to create Yakety Yak, who is being referred to, and described as "a hip urban creature unlike anything else, not a parody, or an attempt to update an existing character".</ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20110929085609/http://johnkafka.com/html/animation.html</ref>

Something that still promises to deliver the crisp, refreshing, and intense taste you love, but with an added twist.

1065846 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAP%20theorem | CAP theorem | The CAP theorem, also known as Brewer's theorem, is a concept in distributed computing that outlines the trade-offs between three crucial properties—Consistency, Availability, and Partition Tolerance. Proposed by Eric Brewer around the year 2000, the CAP theorem asserts that, in a distributed data store, it is impossible to simultaneously guarantee all three of the following:
Consistency: Every read operation in the system returns the most recent write. In other words, all nodes in the system have the same data at the same time.
Availability: Every request to the system receives a non-error response, without any guarantee that it contains the most recent write. The system remains responsive even in the face of failures.
Partition Tolerance: The system continues to operate despite the loss of messages or network partitions, ensuring that each node can operate independently.
In a distributed system, network partitions (communication breakdowns between nodes) are inevitable. The CAP theorem acknowledges that, during a network partition, a choice must be made between providing consistency or availability. This led to the famous saying that in the event of a network partition, a system can either be "consistent and partition-tolerant (CP)" or "available and partition-tolerant (AP)."
The CAP theorem is a fundamental principle in designing and understanding distributed systems, influencing architects and engineers in making decisions about system trade-offs based on the specific requirements and priorities of their applications. |

1065853 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loch%20Naver | Loch Naver | Loch Naver is a large loch in the Farr Parish of Sutherland in the Highland Council Area in Northern Scotland. The B873 main road is on the north side of the loch. The loch has many settlements and former settlements on its shores and more larger ones in its vicinity.
Historically Loch Naver was a popular area for Crofting and Fishing throughout most of the 19th Century, before the Sutherland Clearances forced tenants out of the area leaving most of the settlements on the loch abandoned. The area is now a minor tourist destination and a popular area for fishing.
Etymology
The name of Loch Naver is one of the oldest in Great Britain, writings of Ptolomy from the 2nd Century mention the area now known as Strathnaver from the Greek word "Nabh" believed to roughly mean cloud or wet cloud. It is believed that it was named like this because of the fog in the area. Loch Naver is the source of the water which runs through this valley and inherited the same name.
History
The entire Strathnaver area is believed to have had residents since the last Ice Age but might have even inhabited by Neanderthals at one point. The oldest evidence of residence on the banks of the Loch date back to around 100 BC with a Broch located in the settlement of Grummore. By the 11th Century, the area was rules by the Earls of Caithness however in the late 12th Century the area was taken over by the Norse after a battle at Dalharrold at the eastern edge of the Loch. Around this time, many crofting and fishing settlements were inhabited on the Loch. Including Grummore, Klibreck, Reidhachaisteil, Dailmalhard, Dalharrold and Ruighnasealbhaig.
Loch Naver and the area around it, were affected a lot by the sutherland clearances. The clearances began in 1813 around the entire Strathnaver area however it isn't clear if any of the evictions were on the Loch. In 1819 clearances continued at a much larger scale including the depopulation of the entire settlement of Grummore and by the end of the 19th Century the banks of Loch Naver were almost completely unpopulated.
Other uses of the name
Locomotive 132 of the Highland Railway Loch Class was named after the Loch.

1065941 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magadha | Magadha | Magadha was a kingdom located in southern northeastern India and Nepal. It went through different dynasties like the Brihadratha, Haryanka, Shaishunaga, Nanda, Mauryan, Shunga, and Kanva dynasties. Over time, Magadha lost some of its lands to the Satavahanas in 28 BC and became a smaller principality.
During the time of the Mauryas, Magadha became a large empire, covering a big part of north India and Nepal. Magadha was central to the Nanda Empire, Maurya Empire, Shunga Empire, and Gupta Empire. The Pala Empire also ruled over Magadha and had a royal camp in Pataliputra. Even after the major empires, the Pithipatis of Bodh Gaya continued to call themselves Magadhādipati and ruled parts of Magadha until the 13th century.
Area of Magadha
Before Magadha expanded, its kingdom was limited by the Ganges, Son, and Campā rivers to the north, west, and east, while the southern border was formed by the eastern spurs of the Vindhya mountains. This initial Magadha kingdom covered what is now Patna and Gaya districts in the Indian state of Bihar.
Greater Magadha, which was part of the eastern Gangetic plains, included nearby areas and parts of Nepal, and had its own unique culture and beliefs.
History
The Magadha people are mentioned in ancient texts like the Atharvaveda along with other groups. The main part of their kingdom was in Bihar, south of the Ganges River. Their first capital was Rajagriha, later known as Rajgir, and then Pataliputra, which is modern Patna. Magadha grew by conquering Vajjika League and Anga, covering most of Bihar and parts of Bengal, Jharkhand, Orissa, Uttar Pradesh, and Nepal.
The kingdom is talked about in Jain and Buddhist texts, as well as in the Ramayana, Mahabharata, and the Puranas. The early rulers are not well-known, but the Haryanka dynasty led for about 200 years from 543 to 413 BCE. Gautama Buddha, the founder of Buddhism, lived in Magadha, gaining enlightenment in Bodh Gaya and giving his first sermon in Sarnath.
The Haryanka dynasty was followed by the Shishunaga dynasty, and later, Mahapadma Nanda ended their rule in 345 BCE. Chandragupta Maurya defeated the Nandas around 321 BCE, starting the Mauryan Empire. Under King Ashoka, it expanded across India. After the Mauryan Empire, the Shunga and Khārabēḷa empires followed, replaced by the Gupta Empire. The Gupta capital remained in Pataliputra in Magadha.
List of rulers
Following is the Chronology of rulers according to the Buddhist Mahavamsa:
Haryanka dynasty ( – 413 BCE)
Shishunaga dynasty ( – 345 BCE)
Nanda Empire ()

1065949 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomism | Thomism | Thomism is a philosophy and theology school based on the ideas of Thomas Aquinas, a Dominican philosopher and theologian from the 1200s. His famous works include disputed questions and commentaries on Aristotle in philosophy, and the Summa Theologica in theology, which is very important in medieval theology and still guides the Catholic Church's philosophy and theology.
Pope Pius X in 1914 emphasized that understanding the Church's teachings requires knowing Thomas's fundamental ideas. According to him, these ideas are like the solid base for understanding both natural and divine things. If these principles are ignored, it becomes hard for students to grasp the meanings of the Church's teachings.
Thomas Aquinas believed in accepting truth from any source. He combined ideas from Greek, Roman, Islamic, and Jewish philosophers. He was a realist, meaning he thought the world could be known as it is. Thomas often supported Aristotle's views and used Aristotle's terms and ideas. He also followed some neoplatonic principles, such as the belief in God as the essential being and everything being good by participating in this essential goodness.
History and Impact
Aquinas changed the direction of Scholasticism, moving it from neoplatonism to Aristotle's ideas. This shift had a big impact on Catholicism and the ethics of the Catholic school, making it one of the most influential philosophies ever. Many people follow its teachings.
However, during Aquinas' time, some of his ideas were banned in Paris by Bishop Stephen Tempier, and some were condemned by ecclesiastical authorities in 1277. The Franciscan Order opposed Aquinas, while the Dominicans defended his work. Early critics included William de la Mare, Henry of Ghent, Giles of Rome, and Jon Duns Scotus. On the other hand, defenders included Albertus Magnus, Richard Knapwell, William Macclesfeld, Giles of Lessines, John of Quidort, Bernard of Auvergne, and Thomas of Sutton.
Aquinas was canonized in 1323, and the condemnation of 1277 was revoked. Later, Thomism faced challenges from the via moderna, especially from William of Ockham and followers. Dominican theologians mainly held on to Thomism, and it gained strength in the 16th century in the Iberian Peninsula, with figures like Francisco de Vitoria, Domingo de Soto, John of St. Thomas, Domingo Báñez, and others.
In the modern period, Pope Leo XIII tried to revive Thomism with the encyclical Aeterni Patris in 1879. This led to Neothomism, which emphasized the ethical aspects of Thomism. It dominated the Roman Catholic Church until the Second Vatican Council. Thomism is still an influential philosophy in Catholicism today, although the Church does not favor one philosophy over others.
In recent times, the cognitive neuroscientist Walter Freeman suggests that Thomism is a philosophical system that aligns well with the understanding of cognition in neuroscience.

1065978 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Makpon%20Kingdom | Makpon Kingdom | The Makpon Kingdom (Balti: དམག་དཔོན།, Wylie: dmag dpon), also called Tibet-I-Khurd (Little Tibet) by the Mughals, was a Balti Tibetan empire led by the Maqpon Dynasty. It existed on the Tibetan Plateau and reached from Chitral in the west to Burang in Western Tibet in the east. Ibrahim Maqpon founded it in 1190, and it lasted for about 700 years. The most prosperous period started with Ali Senge Anchan, who united Baltistan and expanded his rule from Chitral to the Mansarowar Valley in Western Tibet.
The Makpon Empire is named after the Tibetan and Balti title "Makpon", which means 'Army Leader,' 'Commander-in-Chief,' or 'Military Chief'. In 1835, G. T. Vigne visited Baltistan and translated "Magpon/Makpon" as "Duke" or "Chief" in his book Antiquities of Indian Tibet.
History
Until the tenth century, Baltistan was part of West Tibetan province, practicing Tibetan Buddhism. Over time, Buddhist influence decreased. Sayyid Ali Hamadani is credited with introducing Noorbakhshism in Baltistan by converting Buddhists in Khaplu and Shigar valleys.
In the 12th or 13th century, Ibrahim Shah, a Prince from Kashmir (Egypt in some sources) married the Princess of Skardo, establishing the Makpon Dynasty. After Tibetan suzerainty dissolved, the Maqpon dynasty ruled Baltistan. A student of Sayyid Ali Hamadani, visited Baltistan in the 9th century, converting many Baltis to Islam.
Maqpon Bukha or Bugha (1464-1490 A.D.) is considered the real founder of the Makpon Dynasty. He established the capital of Skardo. He faced challenges but surprised his subjects by governing effectively. Ali Khan (1540-1565 A.D.) expanded his kingdom, and Ghazi Mir (1565-1580 A.D.) conquered the Rondu Valley. Ali Senge Anchan (1580-1624 A.D.) is a significant figure who expanded the empire from Chitral to Burang in Western Tibet.
Ali Senge Khan also conquered Ladakh, facing conflict with the Ladakh raja. Later rulers, like Ghazi Mir and Ali Senge Anchan's son, expanded the kingdom to Gilgit, Hunza, Nagar, and Chitral.
Ali Senge Khan initiated the game of Polo at the Shundur Polo Ground, which is the worlds highest Polo ground. The Mughal Empire conquered Baltistan in 1586, and the local rulers pledged allegiance. Ali Senge Anchan had a significant encounter with the Mughal court, forming an alliance and introducing Mughal arts to the region.
In 1839, the Dogra commander Zorawar Singh defeated Balti forces, leading to the end of the Maqpon dynasty in 1845. The last king, Ahmed Shah, was taken prisoner and died in captivity in Lhasa, Tibet.
Religion
The Balti people were once influenced by Zhangzhung and the Bon religion, practicing Animism. In 686, Baltistan came under the control of the Tibetan Empire. Under the rule of Songtsen Gampo, Tibetan Buddhism started influencing the region. Gompas and stupas were built, and lamas became important in Balti life.
In the 14th century, Islamic scholars from Kashmir traveled through the mountains to spread Islam. By the late 17th century, Islam gained strength in Baltistan due to the efforts of the Noorbakshia Sufi order. Over time, many people converted to Shia Islam, while only a few chose Sunni Islam.

Synopsis
The story revolves around Tripathi ji, a dedicated Sub-Inspector in the small town of Kotwaali Thaana. Having worked his way up from being a constable, he holds strong principles and envisions a future for his son, Abhimanyu, as a respected Gazetted officer. However, Abhimanyu, a street-smart and materialistic individual, pursues a career as a tour guide, deviating from his father's expectations. This leads to a strained relationship between the two, with Abhimanyu finding it challenging to reconcile his independent lifestyle with his father's disciplined beliefs.
Tripathi ji arranges Abhimanyu's marriage to Vidya, a traditional and well-educated girl from a small village. Despite Abhimanyu's resistance due to his love for Rashmi, he reluctantly marries Vidya. The narrative unfolds as Vidya strives to establish a connection with Abhimanyu, who remains indifferent and fails to acknowledge her as his wife.
Tripathi ji, observing the strained dynamics, develops a bond with Vidya, providing her with the love and support she needs. This paternal relationship becomes crucial for Vidya's resilience in the face of Abhimanyu's indifference. As Vidya pursues her dreams, Tripathi ji encourages her, revealing a softer side that contrasts with his interactions with his son.
The plot takes an unexpected turn when Abhimanyu, during a trip to Lucknow, reunites with Rashmi and rekindles an old flame. Oblivious to Vidya's plight, Abhimanyu's actions leave her heartbroken. Tripathi ji, aware of the situation, silently supports Vidya, offering her the strength to endure Abhimanyu's indifference.

1066034 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public%20school%20%28United%20Kingdom%29 | Public school (United Kingdom) | In the United Kingdom, public schools are independent fee-paying schools like Eton College. By "independent" is meant fee-paying, and therefore not run by the public authorities. They are called 'public' because they accept students from anywhere not just people living nearby in the school area. Some are boarding schools, where students can sleep and live at school during the school term. The public schools have an association called the Headmasers' and Headmistresses' Conference. Junior schools which prepare children for entry into public schools are called Preparatory schools ('prep' schools).
The term "public school", for what are actually privately owned schools, is historical. It dates from the UK Public Schools Act 1868 which set the framework for seven leading English boys' schools, which were:
Charterhouse School
Eton College
Harrow School
Rugby School
Shrewsbury School
Westminster School
Winchester College
To these should be added other fee-paying schools which have first-class reputations. These would include:
Merchant Taylors' School
St. Paul's School
Tonbridge School
Dulwich College
Wellington School
Scotland
Others of note include Fettes College in Edinburgh, which is a co-educational day school. This is very unusual for a public school. Gordonstoun is an independent public school in Moray, Scotland. It is where King Charles III was educated. It is a co-educational residential school.
The term "public school" in Scotland is traditionally used for state schools.
Effectiveness
English public schools have a very good record of getting their pupils into elite universities, such as Cambridge and Oxford. They educate the sons and daughters of the British upper and upper-middle classes. In particular, the sons of officers and senior administrators of the British Empire were educated in England while their parents were on overseas postings. In 2010, over half of Cabinet Ministers had been educated at public schools. In 2018, annual fees at Eton were up to £48,500 for boarders. Therefore, although some scholarships are available, most students come from wealthy families.
Three twenty-first century Prime Ministers, Tony Blair, David Cameron and Boris Johnson, were educated at public schools, as were a high proportion of those in previous centuries. Margaret Thatcher was educated at a grammar school, but one with Academy status.
The leading public schools are challenged only by Manchester Grammar School, which was for many years the leading state-funded grammar school. It is now a fee-paying independent school. It made this change when the Labour government in 1976 chose to abolish the Direct Grant System. This would have given the government powers to change the school in ways with which it did not agree.
Girls' schools
Public schools for girls in England have a similar unofficial ranking, though more of them are day schools. The best-known girls public school is Cheltenham Ladies' College. The Girls' Schools Association (GSA) is the body for independent girls' schools. It has over a hundred schools as members. The GSA is a member of the Independent Schools Council.
First, an historical note. Up to and including the 19th century girls from "good families" were educated at home by governesses and tutors. This applies very widely across the world, not just in England. The other controversial issue is whether girls should be educated with boys or not. Here the United States is one extreme and Muslim countries the other extreme. Even in England, co-education is almost universal at primary level, but is not common at secondary level, except in the state education sector.
Another point of difference in England is that girls from wealthy families are more likely to be educated abroad than are boys. Expensive independent schools in French-speaking Switzerland are often chosen. It has not gone unnoticed that, by having such options, the wealthy give their children advantages which the children of ordinary people never get.
Well-known girls' public schools are:
Cheltenham Ladies' College
Bedford Girls' School
James Allen's Girls' School: Known as "JAGS": a day school
Haberdashers' Aske's School for Girls
Manchester High School for Girls

1066036 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thresher%20shark | Thresher shark | Thresher sharks, intriguing members of the shark family Alopiidae, are distinguished by their long tails and unique hunting behaviors. Thresher sharks are known for their exceptional agility and speed, essential attributes for navigating expansive open waters. They grow up to 20 feet long. Males sexually mature when they're 8 to 11 feet long and 3 to 6 years old. Females are able to reproduce when they're 8 to 9 feet long and 4 to 5 years of age. Thresher sharks are ovoviviparous, a reproductive strategy where embryos develop inside eggs within the mother's body, ultimately giving birth to live young.
<!--
Physical characteristics
Thresher sharks exhibit a remarkable physique, with their elongated tails often reaching lengths equivalent to their bodies. Among the notable species are the common thresher shark (Alopias vulpinus), the bigeye thresher shark (Alopias superciliosus), and the pelagic thresher shark (Alopias pelagicus).
Habitat
Found in open waters globally, thresher sharks prefer the depths of the ocean, thriving in both tropical and temperate seas. Their adaptability to diverse environments contributes to their widespread distribution.
Hunting behavior
A defining feature of thresher sharks is their distinctive hunting technique. Utilizing their lengthy tails, they skillfully slap schools of small fish, stunning them and simplifying the capture process. This method sets them apart, showcasing their adaptability in securing prey.
Diet
Thresher sharks primarily feed on small fish and squid. The dynamic use of their tails serves a crucial role in corralling and capturing prey. Despite their predatory nature, thresher sharks are not considered a threat to humans, as they typically avoid interactions.
Conservation status

Background and education
Paul Idoko Enenche, an Idoma tribesman was born in Orokam, Benue State in 1968 to chief D.E (father) and Titi Enewa (mother). His father was a paramount ruler of the Orokam District in the Ogbadibo Local Government Area.[17] Enenche was raised alongside four other siblings including Major General John Enenche a former Nigerian Defence spokesman. He studied medicine at the University of Jos before proceeding to Nigeria Medical School where he earned a license to practice.[17]
Gospel ministry
Upon graduation, Enenche started practicing as a medical doctor but was not satisfied with his medical practice. On 28 May 1996, he went to the mountains in Gana Ropp, Barkin Ladi[18] where he was alone for three days fasting and praying to seek clarification from God on his calling.[19][20] While on the mountain, his wife Becky (also a medical doctor) who was nursing their first child at the time, also prayed alongside her husband for a confirmation of the calling. At the end of the three days prayer, it became clear to him that he has been called into gospel ministry. Enenche and his wife gave up their medical practice, three bedrooms official quarters given to each of them, salaries and other official benefits to start the ministry.[2]
Dunamis church
On 10 November 1996, Enenche and his wife Becky established Dunamis International Gospel Centre and held their first church service at the Abuja Centre for Arts and Culture for two weeks before moving to Abuja Sheraton Hotel where they worshiped for six months. In June 1997, the churched moved to its permanent site and established branches across Nigeria and in foreign countries.[19]
Glory Dome
On 24 November 2018, Enenche dedicated his church's new headquarters, the Glory Dome (or glory sanctuary). The Glory Dome is a single 100,000 seat capacity church auditorium, considered the largest church auditorium in Africa as of 2023.[7][21] It is located in the Lord's Garden, Lugbe along Nnamdi Azikiwe International airport road Abuja, Nigeria. Its foundation was laid on 14 September 2014, and construction took four years from 2014 to 2018 with its roof done by Geometrica Incorporated.[22] The Glory Dome has five major entrances, two long galleries and an expansive pulpit. Its yellow-coloured roof spans 228 metres and covers 22,148 square metres – over two hectares (five acres) without an interior column. Other facilities situated on the same grounds include Rose of Sharon Gardens, Still Water Restaurant, Destiny Christian Academy (a Boarding and Day School), Pastors' Quarters and a Water Fountain.[23]
Politics
Enenche is known for using his sermons to criticize politicians and government on national policy issues. In 2018, Enenche in a sermon in his church narrated media reports detailing how the Kaduna State governor Nasir El Rufai summoned Christian chiefs in the state to his office and ordered them to subjugate their chiefdom to emirates - a title used by monarchs or high officeholders in the Muslim world. A first-class Christian monarch, Agom Adara, Maiwada Galadima[24] who was vocal in opposition to the order of the governor was kidnapped along with his wife on his way home from the meeting. After payment of a ransom for the release of the couple, his wife was freed three days later but Maiwada Galadima was brutally murdered despite the ransom. Enenche stated that the killing of the monarch who was the leading voice against the governor's order of subjugation was suspicious and called on the state to investigate and prosecute the killers of the monarch.[25] Video clip of the sermon went viral but the governor of Kaduna State labelled it inciting sermon and reported Enenche to the Inspector General Police to arrest, investigate and prosecute him.[8][26][27]
In the lead up to the 2023 Nigerian presidential election, Enenche was vocal in his criticism of the ruling APC’s same faith (Muslim presidential and Muslim vice presidential) ticket of the party in a country evenly divided between Christians and Muslims and polarized along religious lines. He campaigned vigorously for the opposition candidate Perter Obi of the Labour Party.[28][29] On 26 February, a day after the presidential election, Enenche in a sermon in his church criticized security agencies for overlooking violence perpetrated in opposition strongholds during voting and called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to be transparent in the collation of results.[30][31] Enenche then invoked the anger of God to befall anyone who manipulates the results of the election. On 28 February, APC presidential campaign organization spokesman Dele Alake convened a world press conference during which he termed the statement of Enenche a call to anarchy and asked the Department of State Security Service (DSS) and the police to arrest, investigate and prosecute him for hate speech.[32][13][33][34] The call for the arrest of Enenche was opposed by several civil society organizations stating that asking authorities to play by the rule was not an inciting comment.[35][36]

The adult male frog is 16.3 – 18.4 mm long from nose to rear end. The skin of the frog's back is gray-green in color. There are orange bumps on the head and some orange color on the back. The sides of the body are gray-yellow in color with dark brown marks. Parts of the belly are gray-yellow in color. The belly is gray-yellow in color. The bottoms of the toes of the front feet are gray in color.
There are fewer of this frog than there were in the past. Scientists say that this is because human beings cut down forests to make towns and cities, to make farms and places for animals to eat grass, and to get wood to build with.
Scientists named this frog for Russell Mittermeier. He was President of Conservation International.

It is the former home of Barry Allen, the second Flash. Its location has been variously stated to be in Ohio, Illinois, and Florida. During the Wally West era, it was shown to be in Missouri, across a river from Keystone City.
The city has also appeared in movies, television series, and video games.
History
Central City, located across the Missouri River from Keystone City, Kansas, was founded in the 19th century and became an important stop for cattle drives. It began to see tremendous growth after the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad, becoming the first major hub west of Chicago. A second period of growth occurred after World War I, and it has burgeoned to the present day.
In the 25th Century, the city became known as the Central Cityplex.

Notes
Before the Crisis on Infinite Earths, Central and Keystone, collectively known as the "Gem Cities" were not twin cities. Rather, Central City only existed on Earth-One and Keystone City only existed on Earth-Two.
Some sources have shown Central City to be in Ohio instead of Missouri. The Flash #228 places it at roughly the same spot as Athens, Ohio.
The map in the Atlas of the DC Universe claims that Keystone and Central are across the Mississippi River from each other. The Mississippi does not border Kansas; the Missouri does.
The DCU version of Central City is not to be confused with the city by the same name seen in Will Eisner's The Spirit. |
1066062 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kioisaka%20Incident | Kioisaka Incident | Kioisaka Incident (紀尾井坂の変, Kioizakanohen), took place on May 14, 1878 when Ōkubo Toshimichi, Lord of Home Affairs of Japan and one of the Three Great Nobles of the Restoration (alongside Saigō Takamori and Kido Takayoshi), was assassinated by six ex-samurai assassins who are armed with katanas. To be exact, the assassination site was not located at Kioisaka, but near Sakashita (in front of present-day Shimizudani Park). This events is known as the Kioicho Incident (紀尾井町事件, Kioichō jiken), Kioizaka Incident (紀尾井坂事件, Kioi-zaka jiken), and Assassination of Okubo Toshimichi (大久保利通暗殺事件, Okubo toshimichi ansatsu jiken).
Background
The perpetrators involved in the incidents were Shimada Ichirō (aged 30), Chō Tsurahide (aged 22), Sugimoto Otogiku (aged 29), Wakita Kōichi (aged 28), and Sugimura Bun'ichi (aged 17), and Asai Toshiatsu (aged 24), a samurai from Shimane Prefecture while five others from the former Kaga Domain. (Asai quit the samurai clan and became a commoner after the trial.). Among them, Shimada is the leader of the assassination group. Shimada participated in the First Choshu Expedition and the Boshin War as an ashigaru of the Kaga Domain, and continued his military career even after the formation of the Meiji Restoration, but he sympathized with the idea of conquering Korea (also known as Seikanron debate), and during the Incident of 1873. Enraged by Takamori Saigo's resignation, Shimada devoted himself to national affairs.
Sugimura Hiromasa (Sugimura Bun'ichi's older brother) and other samurais also expressed their desire to serve in the newly formed Imperial Japanese Army in response to the idea of conquering Korea. Furthermore, regarding the dispatch of troops to Taiwan as part of the expedition in 1874, Sugimura, Cho, and many radicals once again requested to serve in the military, and Sugimura (Hiroshi), Shimada, and later Asai wrote a petition opposing the rumor that Japanese troop dispatch to Taiwan had been canceled and a petition criticizing the handling of the Saga Rebellion. Sugimura and Shimada, who drafts the warrant, is listed as one of the names. However, these white papers did not have the expected effect, and Shimada and others decided to use force. In 1874, Shimada and Cho met in Tokyo and hit it off.
In June 1874, Cho traveled to Kagoshima with Sugimura to hear the news of Takamori Saigo and Kirino Toshiaki regarding the dispatch of marines to Taiwan. They have been staying in Kagoshima for about half a year, studying at a private school. They also moved back to Kagoshima in 1876, where they maintained old friendships with Kirino and other samurais. In October, when Nagoya became a prefecture, numerous rebellions and uprisings (known as the Shizoku Rebellion) occurred one after another all across Japan, including the Shinpūren Rebellion, Akizuki Rebellion, and Hagi Rebellion, and Shimada also worked hard to create an army in Kanazawa, but failed due to lack of equipment and moral. Furthermore, during the Satsuma Rebellion in 1877, Shimada and Cho worked together to make plans to raise an army, but while they were struggling to convince those around them, government troops entered Kumamoto Castle in April. After receiving information that the outcome was decided, the plan was canceled.
After this, Shimada and his group changed their policy to assassinate high-ranking officials. Sugimoto, Wakita, Sugimura, and others also joined Shimada's plan during this period. Wakita moved to Tokyo in October, Cho in November, Sugimura in December, and Shimada and Sugimoto in April of the following year. Asai, the only samurai from the Shimane Prefecture, was a police officer in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department during the Satsuma Rebellion and served in the police squad. He returned to Tokyo in triumph in August 1877, but he violated the ban and died in 1878. His position was dismissed from his post in February, and in March, Asai learned of the assassination plan by Shimada and others and joined the conspiracy. Their assassination plan went through multiple plots, and even reached the ears of the police chief at the time, Superintendent Kawaji Toshiyoshi, but Kawaji did not respond, asking, ``What can I do to the people of Ishikawa Prefecture?'' (石川県人に何ができるか, Ishikawa kenjin ni nanigadekiruka).
Furthermore, General Tomonosuke Takashima has said the same thing, but as evidence: ``Immediately after the incident, Kawaji flew to the scene, took out his notebook and pointed out the names of the people, and said that it must have been the work of these six people.'' ," he said, slapping his notebook with tears streaming down his face." The day after Okubo's funeral, Kawaji filed a request for ``Okubo Councilor Change and Resignation Request'' (大久保参議事変ニ付進退伺, Ōkubo sangi jihen ni-tsuki shintaiukagai), which was rejected.
Criminal List
The weapons that Shimada and others brought with them at the time of Okubo's assassination was given by Cho in late April 1878 at the request of Shimada. The article lists the following five crimes as crimes of dictatorship.
It has not established a parliament or a constitution, and is suppressing civil rights.
Laws and regulations are frequently revised, and favoritism and connections are used in the appointment of government officials. |

1066108 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acamprosate | Acamprosate | Acamprosate, marketed under the brand name Campral, is a medication used to help individuals with alcohol dependence maintain abstinence. Approved by regulatory authorities for this purpose, acamprosate is thought to act by stabilizing the balance between excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters in the brain, particularly gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and glutamate.
Developed in the late 1980s, acamprosate gained approval in several countries as an adjunct to psychosocial support in the treatment of alcohol dependence. Unlike some other medications for alcohol use disorder, acamprosate does not cause a disulfiram-like reaction with alcohol consumption.
The precise mechanism of acamprosate's action is not entirely understood, but it is believed to modulate the glutamatergic system, potentially reducing the hyperactivity associated with alcohol withdrawal. Clinical trials have demonstrated varying degrees of efficacy, with acamprosate showing effectiveness in supporting abstinence and preventing relapse.
Acamprosate may have side effects, including diarrhea, nausea, and itching. Its use is generally contraindicated in individuals with severe renal impairment.
Research continues to explore the optimal use and potential benefits of acamprosate in the broader context of alcohol use disorder treatment. Despite its limitations, acamprosate remains a valuable option for healthcare professionals working to address alcohol dependence in their patients. |
