Marriage of convenience
When people marry because one or both get a benefit from doing this, this is called marriage of convenience. This is differernt from other types of marriage. Usually people marry because they love each other, or that they want some security if they have children. The benefits people could have from a marriage of convenience is that one of the partners is able to move to another country, to get a work permit or citizenship more easily, for example. Another reason why people use a marriage of convenience is to hide the fact that one or both partners are homosexual, or bisexual. Marriages of convenience are not illegal, in most countries. In many countries, parents look for a suitable partner for their children. This is called arranged marriage. Many countries have laws against forced marriages, or fraudulent ones. Marriage

Race Relations Act 1965
The Race Relations Act 1965 was the first law in the UK to say that discrimination on the "grounds of colour, race, or ethnic or national origins" in public places in Great Britain was not allowed. It did not apply to shops or private boarding houses. It was followed by more, stronger, laws. It was passed by the Wilson government after a racist political campaign in Smethwick, where the Conservative candidate Peter Griffiths beat Patrick Gordon Walker using the the slogan "If you want a nigger for a neighbour, vote Labour". The Race Relations Board was started in 1966 to consider complaints under the Act. Discrimination was a civil issue. The Act also created the criminal offence of "incitement to racial hatred". The leader of the British National Socialist Movement, Colin Jordan, was prosecuted under the Act and jailed for 18 months in 1967. It was strengthened by the Race Relations Act 1968.

George Formby
George Formby OBE (born in Wigan, real name George Hoy Booth; 26 May 1904 – 6 March 1961) was an English actor, singer-songwriter and comedian. His films of the 1930s and 1940s were very popular. On stage, screen and record he sang light, comic songs. He played the ukulele or banjolele. He was the highest-paid entertainer in the United Kingdom. His father was George Formby Sr, who was also a comedian and singer. He was called "The Wigan Nightingale". He died when his son was 17. Formby went on the music hall stage when his father died. He carried on his father's act. In 1924 he married Beryl Ingham. She was also in music hall and she became his manager. He started recording songs in 1926 and, from 1934, he made movies. In the movies he played gormless Lancastrian innocents who would beat a villain, and win the love of an attractive middle-class girl. His songs often had ambiguous sexual content which he sung with a toothy grin and air of innocence His song When I'm Cleaning Windows was banned by the BBC in 1936. The director general John Reith said "if the public wants to listen to Formby singing his disgusting little ditty, they'll have to be content to hear it in the cinemas, not over the nation's airwaves". He later sang it before the King and Queen at the Royal Variety Performance. It was unbanned. During the Second World War he worked all over the world for the Entertainments National Service Association. In his first film of 1940, Let George Do It!, In a dream he goes to a Nuremberg Rally and punches Hitler. It was very popular and was shown in Russia and the USA. He recorded more than 200 songs. 1946 song "With My Little Stick of Blackpool Rock" was one of the most successful. It was also considered rude and a BBC manager in 1946 said "We have no record that 'With My Little Stick of Blackpool Rock' is banned. We do however know, and so does Formby, that certain lines in the lyric must not be broadcast".

Pannonia
Pannonia was a province in the Roman Empire. It was approximately today's Hungary. History The Roman Pannonia lasted from Augustus' times until the fifth century. In the second century Pannonia flourished and received many roman citizens, who developed a rich farm economy. It was temporarily increased under emperor Constantine the Great up to the actual Romanian mountains. The border was the so called "Devil's Dike". Under Attila attacks the area was destroyed and depopulated. After the fall of the western Roman Empire, in Pannonia, the latinized population developed the Pannonian Romance. That lasted until the tenth century. See also Pannonian Romance Hungary

Ali Sher Anchan
Ali Sher Anchan or Ali Senge Anchan (Balti: ཨ་ལི་སེང་གེ་དབན་ཆེན།; 1580–1625), was a famous Balti Tibetan king. He belonged to the Maqpon dynasty and became the 15th King of the Makpon Kingdom. His rule saw the unification of Baltistan, expanding its borders to Ladakh and western Tibet in the east, and Ghizar and Chitral in the west. Ali Senge Anchan was a strong and successful leader, considered the greatest King of Greater Baltistan. He conquered Ladakh, Chitral, and Western Tibet. Ali Senge Anchan maintained friendly relations with the Mughal court. His reign brought prosperity to Balti art, sports, and architecture. Other names for Ali Sengge Anchan are Ali Rai, Raja Sher Ali Mir, Mir Ali, Sher Ali, and Ali Zad. He introduced Polo in Gilgit, Chitral, and Ladakh and even sent musicians to learn music in the Mughal court. Ali Senge Anchan built the Skardu fort also known as Kharpocho Khar in Skardu, then the capital of the Makpon Kingdom. Early life and Military Achievements Following are Ali Senge Anchans's political and Military achievements and his conquests. Makpon-Mughal relations Ali Senge Anchan had connections with the Mughal court. Anchan lost his royal father when he was a child. His uncle the King of Shigar took him and his mother to Shigar, possibly with the plan to harm him and take over the Skardu Kingdom. At 18, Anchan fled to Delhi with twelve loyal followers. In Delhi, Emperor Akbar noticed him for his strength, and he was given command of a Mughal army to reclaim his kingdom. He married a Mughal princess named Gul Khatoon. In 1586 A.D., when Akbar conquered Kashmir, Anchan was with him. Conquest of Ladakh According to the tale, Ladakh's kingdom once stretched to Sermik in the west. During the 15th Makpon King Ghazi Mir's rule, Ladakhis were forced out of the Kharmang valley and the entire Purik district. Ali Senge Anchan occupied Kharbu fort and appointed a governor for the border area. Later, Ladakh's Raja, Jamyang Namgyal, attacked Purik. Anchan, along with other leaders, left through Marol, bypassed Leh, and conquered Ladakh around 1594 A.D. The Ladakh Raja, in the end, became a prisoner. To make peace, Ladakh ceded Ganokh and Gagra Nullah villages to Skardu and paid tribute to the Makpon Kings. This tribute was paid through the Monastery of Lama Yuru. Jamyang Namgyal's daughter was also married to Ali Senge Anchan. Conquest of Dardistan and Chitral While dealing with attacks on villages in Roundu Baltistan, Dras, Gultari, and Shingo Shigar, Anchan marched on Gilgit. He conquered Astore, Gilgit, Hunza, Nagar, Chilas, Chitral, and Kafiristan. To celebrate his victory, he planted a Chinar Tree near Bronshel village in Chitral. Balti folk songs praise Anchan's remarkable conquest, defining the Maqpon Empire's boundaries from Leh's Purang to Brushal's Chinar Tree:‘Leh Purang na Brushal Shingel’.Anchan is credited with starting Polo at Shundur Polo Ground, Which is the Highest Polo ground in the world. Conquest of Kargil Ali Sher Khan Anchan conquered many principalities in Kargil and introduced Balti culture and music to the region. Many Baltis and Purgis settled in Ladakh and Kargil during Anchan's reign. References 1590 births 1625 deaths People from Gilgit-Baltistan History of Pakistan Ancient Pakistan

It proposed that rocks formed from the crystallisation of minerals in the early Earth's oceans. That is why it is called neptunism, because Neptune was the old Roman God of the sea. There are many many different types of rock formation. Sedimentary rock is formed by processes very similar to neptunism. Basically, it makes rock out of bits of earlier rock and organisms. Rocks

In Aeronautics, the angle of attack is the angle between an airfoil and the direction the air is flowing in relative to the wing. For small angles of attack, a higher angle creates more lift. The angle where the wing makes the most lift is called the critical angle of attack. If the angle goes above this point, the wing will stall. References

https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pannonian%20Romance
Pannonian Romance
Pannonian Romance was an Indo-European language, pertaining to the Centum group in the neo-latin languages, with some Celtic roots and related to the old Illyrian. According to the linguist Roxana Curc, the main source of intelligence on this extinct language is the many toponyms in the area of Lake Balaton (located in actual central Hungary) and some anthroponyms, hydronims and etonyms that come from the "Keszthely culture". In addition to this, the same Keszthely name (pronounced in Hungarian “Kestei”) is similar to the Istrian-Venetic “castei”, which means “castle”, and is probably an original word of the Pannonian Romance language, according to the Hungarian linguist Julius Pokornyin. This Hungarian linguist also wrote that the word “Pannonia” was originated from the illyrian word “pen” (marsh) and this demonstrates that the romanized language of the Pannonians was related to the Illyrian, another extinct Balkan language. Pannonian Romance probably contributed to the creation of the 300 basic words of the “Latin substratum” of the Balkan Romance languages, according to Romanian linguist Alexandru Rossetti. Characteristics Analysis of the Vulgar Latin spoken in Pannonia showed several phonetical developments: the shortening of /ll/ and /nn/ geminates. palatalization of /d/. the merger of unstressed /e/~/i/ (Decibali for Decebali), but /o/~/u/ fusion is less noticeable. disappearance of /h/ from the 4th century onwards. /ns/ simplified to /n/, /nt/ to /t/ - less often to /n/. /nkt/ group was simplified to /nt/ or /kt/, but it is not know why the development was not uniform. palatalization of plosives /t/, /d/, /k/ is poorly attested. reduction of the diphthong ao to a (Laodicena to Ladicena), and ae to e (bonae to bone). lenition is attested (extricado < extricatus) from the 3rd century. As in other provinces, accusatives after the 1st century AD were regularly switched to nominatives as the subjects of verbs, ergo -as was often written instead of -ae, which is the correct plural inflection of first-declension feminine nouns. Many instances of this error are found on a perhaps 3rd century epitaph from Pannonia. It says "hic quescunt duas matres duas filias... et aduenas II paruolas" (Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum III 3551), which means "here lie two mothers, two daughters... and two young foreign girls". The dative and genitive cases are evidently quite common in the inscriptions, and this ratio unmistakably indicates that Pannonia was where the dative-genitive fusion was most significant relative to the rest of the empire. Since the rate is 45% in Pannonia and 24% for the entire empire. An examination of the Pannonian Latin texts as a whole reveals that the process of amalgamation has only begun in linguistic singular. Accusative-ablative mergers account for 15% of case errors in Pannonian Latin. Notes

https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%98resund
Øresund
Øresund or Öresund, also known as "the Sound" in English, is a strait that acts as the border between Denmark's Zealand and Sweden's Scania. It's about 118 kilometers long and varies in width from 4 to 28 kilometers. The narrowest point is 4 kilometers wide, located between Helsingør in Denmark and Helsingborg in Sweden. Together with the Great Belt, Little Belt, and Kiel Canal, Øresund is one of the four water passages connecting the Baltic Sea to the Atlantic Ocean. This makes it one of the busiest waterways globally. The Øresund Bridge, linking Copenhagen in Denmark to Malmö in Sweden, connects a metropolitan area with nearly 4 million people. Inaugurated in 2000, it's a vital connection. The HH Ferry route, operating between Helsingør, Denmark, and Helsingborg, Sweden, is one of the world's busiest international ferry routes. Name In Danish, it's called Øresund, and in Swedish, it's Öresund, informally known as Sundet ("the Sound") in both languages. The name refers to a gravel or sand beach and a sound or strait. The term dates back to around AD 1000, seen on a runestone, and has variations like Eyrarsund in Old West Norse. The name reflects the geography of the area, with "ör" meaning a gravel beach found in many local place names along the strait. History and Control Geologically, Øresund is a relatively young strait, forming around 8500–8000 years ago due to rising sea levels. It marked a significant shift for the Baltic Sea from a freshwater body connected solely via the Great Belt to becoming a saltwater body. The control of Øresund has been a crucial part of Danish and Swedish history. Denmark had military control with forts like Kronborg and Kärnan until the eastern shore was handed over to Sweden in 1658. This was based on the Treaty of Roskilde, and both forts are positioned where the strait is 4 kilometers wide. In 1429, King Eric of Pomerania introduced the Sound Dues, a fee for using the waterways, which lasted over four centuries until 1857. These dues were a significant income source for the Danish Crown, giving kings independence from Denmark's council and aristocracy. To reduce dependence on Øresund, Sweden initiated two major projects: establishing Gothenburg in 1621 and building the Göta Canal from 1810 to 1832. The Copenhagen Convention of 1857 put an end to the Dues, declaring the Danish straits as international waters. In 2000, the Øresund Bridge provided a fixed connection across the strait, marking a new chapter in its history. References Landforms Geography of Denmark Geography of Sweden

It later turned into Combined Services Entertainment which since 1982 operates as part of the Services Sound and Vision Corporation. Many people who started in ENSA went on to careers in the entertainment industry after the war, including actors Terry-Thomas, Peter Sellers and Kenneth Connor. It was spread thin over the vast area it had to cover. Thus many entertainments were not very good. The popular translation of the acronym ENSA was "Every Night Something Awful".

Bedford level experiment
The Bedford level experiment is the name for a series of observations, done on the Old Bedford River, in Cambridgeshiire. These observations were done to measure the curvature of the Earth. Samuel Rowbotham made the first observations, in 1839. He claimed that with these observations he could prove that the earth was flat. In 1870, Alfred Russel Wallace used the same observations but made small changes, to correct for some errors. Using these observations, he could prove that the Earth was a sphere. The Bedford level This river was chosen, because from a certain point it runs in a straight line, for . This point is near the village of Welney. This makes it an ideal location to directly measure the curvature of the Earth, as Rowbotham wrote in Zetetic Astronomy: Experiments The first experiment at this site was conducted by Rowbotham in the summer of 1838. He went into the river and used a telescope held above the water to watch a boat, with a flag on its mast above the water, row slowly away from him. He reported that the vessel remained constantly in his view for the full to Welney Bridge. He also said, that if the earth was curved, the top of the mast should have been about below his line of sight. He published this observation using the pseudonym Parallax in 1849. He wrote a book about these ideas, and called it Earth Not a Globe; the book was published in 1865. Rowbotham repeated his experiments several times over the years, but his claims received little attention. In 1870, a supporter, John Hampden offered a wager that he could show, by repeating Rowbotham's experiment, that the Earth was flat. The naturalist and qualified surveyor Alfred Russel Wallace accepted the wager. Wallace, by virtue of his surveyor's training and knowledge of physics, avoided the errors of the preceding experiments and won the bet. The crucial steps were: To set a sight line above the water, and thereby reduce the effects of atmospheric refraction. To add a pole in the middle of the length of canal that could be used to see the "bump" caused by the curvature of the Earth between the two end points. At first, Hampden did not accept this demnostration.The referee, John Henry Walsh, editor of The Field sports magazine, did, and Wallace got the money. Hampden then published a pamhlet and said that Wallace had cheated. He also sued Wallace, to get his money back. There were several court cases. In the end, Hampden was imprisoned for threatening to kill Wallace and for libel. The same court ruled that the wager had been invalid because Hampden retracted the bet and required that Wallace return the money to Hampden. Wallace, who had been unaware of Rowbotham's earlier experiments, was criticized by his peers for "his 'injudicious' involvement in a bet to 'decide' the most fundamental and established of scientific facts". In 1901, Henry Yule Oldham, a reader in geography at King's College, Cambridge, reproduced Wallace's results using three poles fixed at equal height above water level. When viewed through a theodolite, the middle pole was found to be about higher than the poles at each end. This version of the experiment was taught in schools in England until photographs of the Earth from space became available, and it remains in the syllabus for the Indian Certificate of Secondary Education for 2023. Advocates of a flat Earth, however, were not deterred: on 11 May 1904 Lady Elizabeth Anne Blount, who was later influential in the formation of the Flat Earth Society, hired a commercial photographer to use a telephoto-lens camera to take a picture from Welney of a large white sheet she had placed, the bottom edge near the surface of the river, at Rowbotham's original position away. The photographer, Edgar Clifton from Dallmeyer's studio, mounted his camera above the water at Welney and was surprised to be able to obtain a picture of the target, which he believed should have been invisible to him, given the low mounting point of the camera. Lady Blount published the pictures far and wide. These controversies became a regular feature in the English Mechanic magazine in 1904–05, which published Blount's photo and reported two experiments in 1905 that showed the opposite results. One of these, by Clement Stratton on the Ashby Canal, showed a dip on a sight-line only above the surface. References Experiments

Asian hornet
The Asian hornet (Vespa velutina) also known as the yellow-legged hornet or Asian wasp is a species of hornet originally found in Southeast Asia. It is a problem in many countries because of it being a very invasive species. The hornet is smaller than its European relative, known as the European hornet. Queens are usually 30 mm (1.2 in) long, and males are usually about 24 mm (0.95 in) long. However, the workers are smaller than both the males and queen, at about 20 mm (0.8 in) long. The tarsi (legs) of the hornet are a bright yellow, and the body has a brownish color. The head is a yellow and black pattern, and the abdomen has a yellow border with a black fill; although, the end of the abdomen is orange. The hornet has many different colorations, making it hard for scientists to classify subspecies. Like all other hornets in the genus Vespa, these hornets build nests to house their workers, young, and the queen. The population of one nest may range in the thousands. Workers are usually armed with powerful stingers, while drones (males) are not armed with stingers. The nest is usually shaped like an egg, and is half a meter long. During their nesting season, they build their nest in a low shrub, then build up high (usually in a tree), possibly as a way to avoid parasites. New queens usually are birthed around fall. The hornets hunt a range of insects, like dragonflies, flies, and orthopterans. They hunt down their prey by chasing them. They also hunt down honeybees, which is a problem in places where the hornets are invasive. References Wasps

Phonology Consonants The letters , , and are used in loanwords from non-Austronesian (mainly Arabic and Dutch). Vowels Bengkulu diphthongs are ai, au, ia and ua (where "ia" and "ua" are used in loanwords). Varieties According to the official national linguistic data of the Republic of Indonesia, the Bengkulu language has at least 9 main dialects spoken across the Bengkulu cultural regions, and can be classified under three main language group; namely Southern Bengkulu, Central Bengkulu, and Northern Bengkulu. Each of the Bengkulu varieties has individual representative ISO 639-3 language codes, as shown below: Writing system The Kaganga script of Rejang is commonly used as the traditional writing system for the Bengkulu languages, it was originally the native script of the Rejang ethnic (one of the indigenous Bengkulu) to write their own Rejang languages. During the colonial era of Bengkulu (under the Dutch and British), the native Rejang script was gradually replaced by the Latin script.

In brief, they state that a flat function can't transition into a non-flat function: if a function is zero at two neighboring points (i.e. flat), then it must be zero everywhere. Alternatively: sufficiently near to a zero, a function must have non-zero values. Mathematical theorems Complex analysis

Pseudophilautus mooreorum is a frog. It lives in Sri Lanka. Scientists have seen it in the Knuckles Hills between 1100 and 1245 meters above sea level. The adult male frog is 29.4 – 31.3 mm long from nose to rear end and the adult female frog is 33.8 – 35.0 mm long. The frog's head is a bright green color that looks like it is glowing. The sides of the body are yellow and white in color. Parts of the mouth are white in color. The tops of the back legs are green in color, and parts of the tops of the back legs are white in color. The toes of all four feet are white in color. This frog has disks on its toes for climbing. They are white in color. This frog lives on shrubs: Woody plants that are smaller than trees. Scientists have seen the male frogs sitting in the shrubs 1 - 3 meters above the ground. They live in cloud forests where the branches of the large trees come together like a roof. The shrubs that the frogs climb on make the understory: The layer of shorter plants under the large trees. Like other frogs in Pseudophilautus, they grow through direct development: They hatch out of eggs as small frogs. They never swim as tadpoles. 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.

https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schizophrenic%20insight
Schizophrenic insight
Schizophrenic insight (lacking insight, poor insight) is that some or many people with schizophrenia (sz) don't think or know that they have sz. For doctors, sz is about their jobs - employments where they earn money by people who are patients and things like science and research. People who doctors say have sz sometimes think they don't. Doctors describe these people as lacking insight. To lack something is to not have something. The words doctor use has meanings like: "The fact of penetrating with the eyes of the understanding", "deep", "the power or act of seeing into a situation". The whole idea is quite complicated. What doctors really expect from the idea of lacking insight is from at least since 1927, which is the year Dr. E. Minkowski described the idea of psychiatrists penetrating into the mind of patients for diagnosis. Dr. C. Jung (Jung is pronounced the same as young) had ideas sometime after 1909, which Dr. E. Bleuler described as "depth psychology". "Mental health literacy" (literacy being literature) could be very similar or the same as insight. The word insight means literally to see inside, which is in & sight, which is seeing. This is obviously not possible because the human eye is the organ of seeing. Situations where actually insight is really possible (which means the eye of the mind), by the definition of seeing inside, is mental visualization and dreams. Both Dr S Freud and Dr Jung inhaled the smoke of the drug tobacco. Dr Freud inhaled tobacco from about when he started as a doctor. Dr Freud's ideas were used by Dr Bleuler in his idea of the symptoms of sz. Dr Freud was probably a tobacco drug addict. Also Dr Freud used the drug cocaine before Dr Bleuler knew about him. Dr Jung maybe inhaled tobacco quite a few years after when he first became a doctor. Tobacco is a drug which is dangerous with addictive. Tobacco is part of the nightshade family of plants. Both Dr Freud and Dr Jung wrote about and researched dreams. They both thought thinking about dreams and the meaning of dreams was important. References
