Tenses
Basic Indonesian word order is similar to English. Generally, sentences begin with a subject, followed by a verb (also called a predicate), and then an object.

It's good news that Indonesian verbs don't change depending on tense. Indicating the past or future tense only requires inserting words that indicate the time, in a very regular system.

Contoh (Example):
 * Saya makan nasi
 * I eat rice.
 * Saya telah makan nasi
 * I ate or have eaten rice.
 * Saya sudah makan nasi
 * I ate or have eaten rice.
 * Saya akan makan nasi
 * I will eat rice.
 * Saya sedang makan nasi
 * I am eating rice.
 * Saya makan nasi kemarin
 * I ate rice yesterday.
 * Kemarin, saya makan nasi
 * Yesterday, I ate rice.

As you noticed in the examples above, the word "telah" or "sudah" indicate completed actions, the word "akan" indicate future actions, and the word "sedang" indicate actions in progress. The main verb (i.e. "makan" = to eat) is left unchanged.

Side note: In English, both cooked and uncooked rice are referred as rice alone. In Indonesian, uncooked rice is called beras while cooked rice is called nasi.

Note also that Indonesian has no notions of imperfect tense. Instead, Indonesian uses duration words, such as "selama" (literally means during or as long as):

Contoh (Example):
 * Saya sudah belajar Bahasa Indonesia selama dua tahun.
 * I have studied Indonesian (language) for two years.
 * Selama ini, saya belajar dengan baik.
 * Until now, I've studied well.
 * Selama dua tahun ini, saya belajar dengan baik.
 * For the last two years, I've studied well.
 * Selama kamu di sini, saya tidak akan pergi.
 * As long as you are here, I will not go.

Don't worry about these "tenses" yet. We'll study it in greater detail later.

Adding Emphasis
The Indonesian language is very expressive. While basic Indonesian word order matches English, you can scramble up the sentence structure, and the sentence will still have the same underlying meaning. In this regard, Indonesian is somewhat like Latin or Japanese, but without the cases or the particles. Usually, when a word other than the subject is put at the beginning of a sentence, it becomes the emphasis of the sentence. This is broadly used in spoken Indonesian.

Contoh (Example): (emphasis on rice)
 * Saya sedang makan nasi
 * I am eating rice, neutral emphasis.
 * Sedang makan nasi saya
 * I am Eating My rice. (emphasis on the progress of eating rice).
 * Makan nasi sedang saya lakukan
 * Eating rice (is what) I am doing (now). (emphasis on eating rice)
 * Nasi sedang saya makan
 * Rice (is what) I am eating (now).

Note also that this way of providing emphasis can occur with any "tense" using the same pattern.

Don't be intimidated by this variability in word order. You can always form simple sentences as: Subject + Verb + Object.

The role of resistors in electrical circuits

The role of the resistor in an electrical circuit: NOTE: Diagrams, links and practice questions in this document are still to be added: In direct current (DC) or alternating current (AC) electrical circuits that have a resistor, as its name implies, resists the flow of electrons. It is one of the most basic of electrical components. It can be used to reduce the available voltage or current present in a circuit. While there are differences in how a resistor affects the two different types of current sources (DC or AC), depending on how the resistor is constructed and the AC frequency involved, it can be assumed that the following applies equally to both. For AC circuits it may be necessary to indicate how the voltage is represented, the average value, the peak value or the root mean square (RMS). If no indication is made of the type of AC voltage it is generally assumed to be the (RMS) value

As discussed in the Ohm's Law section, in an electrical circuit, voltage (measured in volts and denoted by the letter V) equals current (measured in amps and denoted by the letter I) multiplied by the resistance (measured in ohms and denoted by the letter R) present in the circuit. This is represented by the following formula.

V = IR or  E = IR (Ohm's law)

(Voltage is sometimes denoted by the letter “E”, which stands for electro-motive force)

An electrical circuit may include many resistors. The way these resistors impact the circuit depends on the way they’re arranged in the circuit. Resistors may be arranged in series or in parallel with the voltage supply source. Refer to the example below.

Figure 1 represents an electrical circuit with two resistors in a series arrangement. For current to complete the electrical circuit it must flow from the voltage source (B1) and pass through both resistor 1 (R1) and resistor 2 (R2) and then back to B1.

The total resistance in the circuit is the sum of the two resistor values (measured in ohms, denoted by the Greek letter Ω). Therefore, in figure 1, the total circuit resistance (RT) is R1 + R2, which equals 100Ω.

Figure 2 represents an electrical circuit with two resistors in a parallel arrangement. For current to complete the electrical circuit it must flow from the voltage source (B1) and then the current has two available paths to get back to B1. Some of the current will pass through resistor 1 (R1) back to B1 and some will pass through resistor 2 (R2) and then back to B1.

The total resistance in a parallel circuit is not as simple as in a series circuit. The total resistance in the circuit for figure 2 is the reciprocal of the sum of the reciprocal sum of the two resistor values (measured in ohms, denoted by the Greek letter Ω). Therefore, in figure 2, the total circuit resistance (RT) is 1/(1/ R1 + 1/ R2), which equals 25Ω.

It is important to note the impact to the circuit that the arrangement of the resistors have. Using Ohm’s law we can determine the total current flowing in each of the two circuits is considerably different even though the same components were used for both.

By applying a little algebra to the Ohm’s law equation we can determine the total current for each circuit.

For the circuit in figure 1, the total circuit current flow is expressed by the equation: I=V/R. By substituting in the numbers we know, where V = 10 volts and R=100Ω, we get a total current flow in the circuit equal to 10/100, which equals 0.1 amps.

For the circuit in figure 2, the total circuit current flow is again expressed by the equation: I=V/R. By substituting in the numbers we know, where V = 10 volts and R=25Ω, we get a total current flow in the circuit equal to 10/25 which equals 0.4 amps

Resistors in series:

When used in series, resistors can be said to be a “voltage dividing network.” This is because in a series circuit, current flowing through each resistor is the same value but the voltage present across each resistor is only part of the total circuit voltage value. Looking again at the circuit from figure 1 we can derive the voltage present across each resistor.

Based on the fact that in a series circuit the current flowing through each resistor is the same, we can again use Ohm’s law to predict how much voltage will be present across each resistor. Since we already know that the total circuit current equals 0.1 amps and R1 equals 50Ω, the total voltage present across R1 equals 0.1A X 50Ω = 5 volts. Since R2 is the same value as R1, 5 volts will also be present across R2.

We can double check our math by adding together all the voltages present across all the resistors. In this case 5V + 5V = 10V, which is in agreement with the total voltage present.

Resistors in parallel:

When used in parallel, resistors can be said to be a “current dividing network.” This is because in a parallel circuit, voltage across each resistor is the same value but the current flowing through each resistor only part of the total circuit current value. Looking again at the circuit from figure 2 we can derive the current flowing through each resistor.

Based on the fact that in a parallel circuit the voltage present across each resistor is the same, we can again use Ohm’s law to predict how much current will flow through each resistor. Since we already know that the total circuit voltage equals 10 volts and R1 equals 50Ω, the total current flowing through R1 equals 10V / 50Ω = 0.2 amps. Since R2 is the same value as R1, 0.2 amps will also be present across R2.

We can double check our math by adding together all the current flow present through all the resistors. In this case 0.2A + 0.2A = 0.4A, which is in agreement with the total current flow we previously determined for figure 2.

Complex circuit resistance:

In some circuits you will find both series and parallel resistors. The same rules apply in these more complex circuits, where both circuit types are present, as in simpler circuits where only one is present. With complex series/parallel resistive circuits it is best to redefine the parallel parts of the circuit into a series equivalent circuit and then use Ohm’s law to define the total current and resistance present. You can then use the total current and voltage values to determine the voltages and currents present at each of the resistors in the circuit.

Start by determining the total resistance of the parallel combination of R2 and R3, which equals:

[R2&3 = 1/(1/R2 + 1/R3)] → [R2&3 = 1/(1/100 + 1/400)] → [R2&3 = 1/(0.01 + 0.0025)] → [R2&3 = 1/(0.0125)] →  R2&3 = 80Ω

You can then redraw the circuit in figure 3 to a series equivalent circuit that looks like figure 4.

We can now determine the total circuit resistance by simply adding all the resistors in the series equivalent circuit:

[RT = R1 + R2&3 + R4 + R5] →  [RT = 50 + 80 + 100 + 20] →  RT = 250Ω

Armed with the total resistance for the circuit and the total circuit voltage we can now figure out the total circuit current using Ohm’s law:

[VT = ITRT] → [IT = VT/RT] → [IT = 10V/250Ω] →  IT = 0.04A

Now we can figure out the voltage and current present at each of the resistors by using Ohm’s law and the two rules for resistance circuits:

1)	In a series circuit, the current is the same through all resistors – voltage divider circuit. 2)	In a parallel circuit, the voltage present is the same for all resistors – current divider circuit.

For R1:

[VR1 = IT X R1] → [VR1 = 0.04A X 50Ω] → VR1 = 2V

For R2&3:

[VR2&3 = IT X R2&3] → [VR2&3 = 0.04A X 80Ω] → VR2&3 = 3.2V

For R2:

[IR2 = VR2&3 / R2] → [IR2 = 3.2V / 100] → I R2 = .032A

For R3:

[IR3 = VR2&3 / R3] → [IR2 = 3.2V / 400] → I R2 = .008A

For R4:

[VR4 = IT X R4] → [VR4 = 0.04A X 100Ω] → VR4 = 4V

For R5:

[VR5 = IT X R5] → [VR5 = 0.04A X 20Ω] → VR5 = 0.8V

A double check to verify the accuracy of our circuit analysis confirms that all individual voltages present across each resistor in the series equivalent circuit adds up to the total 10 volts available from the source and all currents in the parallel portion of the circuit adds up to the total current for the circuit of 0.04A.

Introduction to Epistemology

Introduction to Epistemology
Epistemology is the study and inquiry into the nature of knowledge and what we can know. The Ancient Greeks had notions about reality and knowledge. Plato's Allegory of the Cave was an early analogy to reality and the acquisition of radical knowledge. Throughout the years, philosophers have discussed the individual's relationship to reality and knowledge, and 'what we can know.'

Descartes' Meditations
René Descartes' Meditations were an early foray into the field of epistemology and scepticism — questioning what a person can know. Descartes begins his work by relating reality to a dream, and wondering whether anything around him is truly real.

That is, he notes that, in a dream, the fire in his fireplace feels as warm as it does now. How does he know that he is simply not dreaming now, and all the time, and that reality is not an illusion? Descartes posits that there could be an "evil daemon" who is dedicated to fooling him, pulling the wool over his eyes and creating this false world for him to see.

Descartes, fairly early in the Mediations, concludes that firstly:

 * Cogito ergo sum.
 * I think, therefore I am.

He realizes that, even if he is being fooled about everything that is going on around him, he must still exist to be able to be fooled.

Brain in a jar
Descartes' early scepticism has been reworked in a modern question: "How do I know that I am not just a brain in some mad scientist's lair?" Indeed, many sceptics would defend this thesis. But again, if you were in that unfortunate position, you would still have to be at least a brain.

Building up knowledge
Descartes continued throughout his Meditations to build the foundations for mathematics and much of reality, to the point near the end where reality was, to him, everything he had perceived at first.

Gettier and Justified True Belief
Until the late twentieth century, the epistemological community had settled comfortably into the belief that knowledge was "justified true belief." That is, if a person holds a true belief, and that is justified, he knows that fact.

For example: I believe that the car in my driveway is red, because I can see it through the window right now. [I am justified to believe that fact.] Therefore, I know that the car in my driveway is red.

Even if I held the belief that there are 85,486,075,000,000,000,000 gallons of water in the Atlantic Ocean, it would be difficult for me to know it. It may very well be true, but I would also have to be justified in my belief: I would have had to have some proof or some firsthand experience with the exact number of gallons of water in the Atlantic ocean in order for my belief to be justified.

This theory of knowledge known as justified true belief (JTB), was thrown into question when Professor Edmund Gettier published a three page paper on the occasion of his review for tenure.

Try this!: Pinch me
Can you tell the difference between a dream and reality? Think of relevant disanalogies between the two. For example:
 * In a dream, there seems to be a lack of logical progression of events
 * In a dream, the traditional laws of physics are sometimes broken
 * In a dream, I can fly if I try very hard, or I can instigate other events with thought

Take turns with a partner playing Devil's advocate and defending Descartes' original sceptical position.

Turn Me On (Riton and Oliver Heldens song)

"Turn Me On" is a song by English DJ Riton and Dutch producer Oliver Heldens featuring English-American singer Vula. It was released on 13 September 2019 through Ministry of Sound Recordings. The drop fully incorporates the main melody from Yazoo's 1982 classic "Don't Go" while some of the lyrics reference 1977 song "Doctor Love" by American band First Choice. Marshall Jefferson released a remix of the song on 1 November 2019, which was well received by the two lead artists of the track. The single reached number one on Billboard's Dance/Mix Show Airplay Chart in November 2019, allowing Riton, Heldens, and Vula to each top that chart for the first time.

Background
During an interview for Official Charts Company, the two lead artists unveiled the genesis of the song. Riton said he had for the first time the idea to remix Yazoo song when he watched YouTube videos on their producer, Vince Clarke. He decided to send him the demo of Doctor Love/Turn Me On where he was into it. Then, he teamed with him and finished the work with Oliver Heldens. He later said to Billboard, "I always wanted to be the Alison Moyet to Vince Clarke in Yazoo. The lovely chap has let me sample his smash hit 'Don't Go'. I'm honoured. Thank you to the big man." Oliver Heldens said to Digital Journal that he followed Riton's idea to remix the track. He also complimented the project and Vula's vocals.

Critical reception
The song received positive criticism from multiple publications. Gaëtan Audeyer of French radio Virgin described the track as very danceable. Kat Bein of Billboard noted the number as "a retro club banger that'll put any modern dance fan in a futuristic fever". John Cameron of EDM.com deemed it "an infectious nightclub heater" with "an anthemic vocal [from Vula] that gives a song the sort of appeal that extends beyond the dance floor". BroadwayWorld TV News Desk called the single "an infectious slice of feel good house" which delivers "a masterfully modern take on the 1982 Yazoo classic 'Don't Go' - channelling a feelgood, club-ready revamp". Writing for German public broadcasting institution Westdeutscher Rundfunk, Daniel Vogrin noted Vula's voice as strong. Indeed, he added that she was featured in the gospel choir of Sam Smith's "Pray" and she is one of the main voices of London Community Gospel Choir. Ramona of German online platform of song lyrics Songtexte.com wrote that "the ingenious song makes for a perfect mix of retro and dance vibes", endowed with "an unmistakable melody" which perfectly makes "the connection to the original song".

Music video
A lyric video was first posted on 12 September 2019 through Oliver Heldens' YouTube channel. Then, the official music video, directed by Elliot Simpson, was released on 9 October 2019. The artists later stated that the video was influenced by Ministry of Sound music videos from the 2000s, like those made by Eric Prydz or Benny Benassi. The video depicts an out of control Dr Frankenstein character, Dr Love, played by actor and model Bernardo de La Rocque hell bent on injecting love into the lives of his patients by whatever means.

Mic Drop (song)

"Mic Drop" (stylized as "MIC Drop") is a song recorded in two languages (Korean and Japanese) by South Korean boy band BTS. The Korean version was originally included as a B-side track on the band's fifth extended play, Love Yourself: Her (2017), and later remixed by American producer and DJ Steve Aoki. The remix was released as the second single from the EP on November 24, 2017, by Big Hit Entertainment and features a guest appearance by American rapper Desiigner. It was serviced to US contemporary hit radio on December 5, 2017, as a single in that country. The Japanese-language version of "Mic Drop" was released on December 6, 2017, by Def Jam Recordings and Virgin Music as a triple A-side single album that included "DNA" and a new, original song "Crystal Snow", both also in Japanese. Both the Korean and Japanese versions of the song were written by Supreme Boi, "Hitman" Bang, J-Hope, RM, and Pdogg, with the latter of the five solely handling production. The remix version was also written by the same songwriters, with additional songwriting by Aoki, Desiigner, Tayla Parx, Flowsik, and Shae Jacobs. It was produced by Aoki, with Pdogg providing additional production. A hip hop song, the lyrics celebrate BTS' numerous achievements.

The song received generally favourable reviews from music critics, who praised its beat, sound, and musical styles, and picked it as a standout track, on Love Yourself: Her. Commercially, the remix version of "Mic Drop" debuted at number 28 on the US Billboard Hot 100, becoming the band's first track to reach the top 40 on the chart. The song appeared at number 37 on the Canadian Hot 100 and number 46 on the UK Singles Chart, in addition to reaching moderate peaks in several other territories. The Japanese version debuted at number one on both the Oricon Singles Chart and the Billboard Japan Hot 100. It was the 13th best-selling single of 2017 in Japan. It was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ).

Two music videos were filmed for "Mic Drop", one for the Korean remix version and one for the Japanese version. Woogie Kim directed the music video for the Korean version which premiered on Big Hit's YouTube channel at the same time as the song's release. The video for the Japanese version was uploaded to Universal Music Japan's YouTube channel on December 5, 2017. Both videos depict the band performing powerful choreography in various settings. Following the release of Love Yourself: Her, BTS appeared on several South Korean music programs including M! Countdown, Music Bank, and Inkigayo. They promoted the remix version of the song with performances on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and Saturday Night Live, amongst others. It was also included on the setlist for the band's Love Yourself World Tour (2018–19).

Background and release
South Korean boy band BTS had achieved consecutive entries on Billboard charts with The Most Beautiful Moment in Life, Pt. 2 (2015), The Most Beautiful Moment in Life: Young Forever (2016), and Wings (2016). The band further garnered major attention in the United States after winning the Top Social Artist award at the 2017 Billboard Music Awards, becoming the first K-pop group ever to be nominated for and win a Billboard Music Award. They released their fifth extended play Love Yourself: Her on September 18, 2017, to commercial success. The EP debuted and peaked at number seven on the US Billboard 200, becoming the first Korean album to enter the top 10 on the chart. Originally included as a B-side track on Love Yourself: Her, a remix of "Mic Drop" by electro house DJ Steve Aoki featuring American rapper Desiigner, was announced for release as a single on November 7, 2017. In an interview with Billboard magazine, Desiigner stated that he had met the band at the Billboard Music Awards earlier that year and became involved in the collaboration.

"Mic Drop" was released for digital download and streaming in various countries by Big Hit Entertainment on November 24, 2017, as the second single from Love Yourself: Her. Big Hit and RED Music later serviced the song to contemporary hit radio in the US on December 5, 2017. An extended version of the remix appears on the band's third compilation album Love Yourself: Answer (2018). A Japanese version of the song was digitally released for purchase on December 6, 2017, by Universal Music Japan as the band's eighth Japanese-language single album, together with the Japanese version of previously released Korean single "DNA" and a new, original Japanese track "Crystal Snow". It was also released as a four-version CD single in Japan on the same day, with a regular edition and three different limited editions: A, B and C.  All four editions contain "Mic Drop", "DNA" and "Crystal Snow" as a triple A-side. Individually, edition A includes a DVD with the music video for the Japanese version of "Mic Drop" and a dance version video of the song, edition B comes with a DVD that contains behind the scenes footage of the music video for "Mic Drop" and the making of album jacket photos, and edition C contains a 36-page photobook. The Japanese version was later included on the band's third Japanese-language studio album Face Yourself (2018).

Music and lyrics
Musically, the album version of "Mic Drop" has been described as a groovy hip hop number backed by heavy bass and sampled gunshots. The remix version introduces EDM synths and trap-infused beats over the original hip hop melody. In terms of musical notation, the original version was composed in the key of F♯ major, while the remix was composed in A♯ minor. Both versions have a tempo of 170 beats per minute and last for 3:58. Two versions of the remix were released: the studio version released on digital streaming platforms featured Desiigner, while the version accompanying the music video replaced the rapper's intro with Korean verses from the original album version. Both the original Korean and Japanese versions were written by Pdogg, Supreme Boi, "Hitman" Bang, and band members J-Hope and RM, with production handled solely by Pdogg. The remixed version was also created by the same songwriters, with additional writing by Aoki, Desiigner, Tayla Parx, Flowsik, and Shae Jacobs. The latter was produced by Aoki, with additional production from Pdogg who also served as one of the recording engineers of the track. Band member Jungkook provided backing vocals for the song, alongside Supreme Boi, Docskim, Hiss Noise and Pdogg. It was mixed by Jaycen Joshua with assistance from David Nakaj and Ben Milchev at the Larrabee Sound Studios in North Hollywood, Los Angeles, while mastering was handled by Randy Merrill at Sterling Sound in New York City.

The song incorporates a dark percussion line and Lil Wayne-esque cadences in its composition. As opposed to Aoki's signature build-and-drop house music style, it makes use of an uptempo "cluttered" production, which loops its starting rhythm with trap and a pulsating synth-line. Instrumentation is provided by keyboards, synthesizer, and guitar. The song is further driven by drumbeats and features repetitive chanting from the band. The opening verse features Desiigner's "fast-talking" followed by heavy Auto-Tuned vocals and "super-aggressive" English verses from the band.

According to RM, "Mic Drop" was inspired by former US president Barack Obama's mic drop at his last White House Correspondents' Dinner in 2016. Speaking about the song in an interview, Desiigner said: "What ["Mic Drop"] means to me is definitely—like when you really amazingly, tremendously kill the beat. And you just drop the mic after that. You just know that you did your thing on that." In the song's lyrics, BTS celebrate their global popularity, narrating their hard work and numerous achievements through lines like: "Another trophy, my hands carry 'em / Too many that I can't even count 'em (turn it up now) / Mic drop, mic drop / Be careful of your feet, be careful of what you say."

Critical reception
Upon release, "Mic Drop" was met with generally favourable reviews from music critics. Writing for The Malaysia Star, Chester Chin praised the song as "a brilliant display of artistry," calling it "an explosive and menacing track with some dirty bass to boot." Jeff Benjamin from Fuse lauded the cohesiveness of the song's diverse musical styles, writing that the Steve Aoki remix "wasn't just brilliant for its blending of different genres and styles, but how all those elements enhance one another." He further stated, "Desiigner's ridiculously awesome flow fits perfectly alongside BTS' braggadocio, with it all backed by a mainstream-accessible Aoki beat." Reviewing for Clash, Taylor Glasby viewed the track as a "scorching, hater-baiting" song and deemed it as the "sonic outlier" of Love Yourself: Her. Rhian Daly of NME regarded the song as "a swag-filled rap-led track full of their very own mic drop moments." In his review for The Korea Herald, Dam-young Hong cited the track as "an artwork, offering listeners a flash of footprints BTS have left in the K-pop scene over the past few months." Music critic Sunmi Ahn also wrote an article for the same publication where she praised the song's production and lyrical content writing, "With a killer beat and smart yet frank lyrics, it's a song that describes how BTS got to the top." IZM's Do-heon Kim favoured the aggressive guitar riff in the production, likening it to that of '90s South Korean music group Seo Taiji and Boys. Mike Nied of Idolator deemed the song "one of the hardest hitting on an album of iridescent pop hits."

Reviewing for Vulture, Kim Youngdae and Park T.K. wrote, "The beat is distinctive, making every part of this song instantly recognizable." In The New York Times, Jon Caramanica shared a similar view, favouring the sound of the song and labelling it as "a fantastically squelchy beat." Billboard's Caitlin Kelley cited it as one of the best songs of BTS and wrote, "the intensity of the song is the product of a potent mixture: an ominous, trap-infused beat rages against boastful lyricism befitting a world class act." Emlyn Travis of PopCrush called "Mic Drop" BTS' "quintessential hip hop track", noting that it evolved the band's sound "while keeping their old roots intact." Chris DeVille from Stereogum viewed the song as "tensely jittery" in which the band "never cease sounding like a boy band even as they lean liberally into hip-hop." In a mixed review for Spin, Monique Melendez felt that the song is "inspiring in its lyrical confidence" but "doesn't push any musical boundaries."

Commercial performance
The original version of "Mic Drop" debuted at number 17 on the Gaon Digital Chart and at number 14 on the component Download Chart on the issue date of September 23, 2017. The song peaked at number six on the Billboard K-pop Hot 100 chart and number seven on the US World Digital Song Sales chart. The remix of "Mic Drop" debuted at number 28 on the US Billboard Hot 100 for the chart issue dated December 16, 2017, becoming the first top 40 entry by a K-pop group on the chart.

The single debuted at number one on the US World Digital Songs chart, becoming the band's sixth number one on the chart, and entered the US Digital Song Sales chart at number four. The song charted at number 37 on the Canadian Hot 100 and appeared at number 46 on the UK Singles Chart. Additionally, it peaked at number 5 in Malaysia, number 33 in France, number 26 in Scotland, number 39 in South Korea, number 50 in Australia, and number 71 in Germany. On February 3, 2018, the song was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for track equivalent sales of 500,000 units, making BTS the first Korean group to have a song certified in the United States. The song eventually received platinum certification from the RIAA in November 2018 for track-equivalent sales of one million units, making BTS the first Korean group to achieve this. In April 2019, it was certified gold by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) for track-equivalent sales of 35,000 units in Australia.

Following the release of the song as a single album in Japan, "Mic Drop / DNA / Crystal Snow" topped the Oricon Daily Singles Chart on its first day of release, selling 269,861 copies.

Music videos
A music video for "Mic Drop" directed by Woogie Kim of GDW, premiered on Big Hit's official YouTube channel at 18:00 KST (01:00 PST) on November 24, 2017; it was preceded by a 59-second teaser released on the same platform on November 16. Hyunwoo Nam was credited as the director of photography and Cathy Kim as the producer. The visual is almost four-minutes long and features several VFX shots. The video opens with Aoki walking towards a console, set against a backdrop of neon-lights. The clip then cuts to show the band inside an interrogation room with several cameras pointed at them. They remain seated before a table which is occupied with microphones. In the following scene, Aoki puts on a pair of headphones and starts DJ-ing. J-Hope jumps over the table and lines up with the rest of the band to perform the song's powerful choreography. The clip is interspersed with scenes featuring the band dancing in multiple settings. In some of these scenes, the band dances in a darkened room with Aoki's figure looming over them in the background, while in others they are in a grungy hallway or inside a prison. Over the course of the video, several black-hooded figures are seen rioting as the band continue to dance in military-style outfits while surrounded by burning cars. The visual ends with the band disappearing from the interrogation room as Suga performs the titular mic drop. A closing shot of Aoki removing his headphones is shown before the clip goes black and the song's title is displayed in red against it. Commenting on the setting of the music video, the director stated in an interview: "Listening to the song, the first thing that came to my mind was that I wanted to lock BTS in an interrogation room. Then I wanted to show the viewers how they managed to escape and free themselves with music."

Critics associated the visual with the theme of rebellion. Stereogum's Tom Breihan listed the visual as one of the five best music videos of its release week. Jennifer Drysdal from Entertainment Tonight called the video "epic" and praised the band's performance writing that the members "command the screen with electrifying dance sequences." Writing for Vice magazine, Phil Witmer deemed the visual as "objectively incredible." The clip was an instant success on YouTube, achieving over 10 million views in 14 hours. "Mic Drop" was the ninth most watched K-pop video of 2017 on YouTube. As of January 2024, the visual has garnered over 1.4 billion views.

An accompanying music video for the Japanese version of the song was uploaded to Universal Music Japan's YouTube channel on December 5, 2017. The setting of the visual is almost identical to the remix music video, except for Aoki's figure, which was replaced by a hooded silhouette with glowing red eyes.

Live performances and other usage
Following the release of Love Yourself: Her, BTS appeared on several Korean music programs, including Mnet's M! Countdown, KBS's Music Bank, SBS's Inkigayo and MBC Music's Show Champion to promote the original version of "Mic Drop" and the album. The band performed the song at the SBS Gayo Daejeon music festival on December 25, 2017. They also performed the song on December 31, 2018, at the MBC Gayo Daejejeon, wearing red and black outfits in styles similar to their attire for the music video. Towards the end of the performance, Suga's mic drop move was swapped for a scroll that read "Happy New Year" in Korean when unfurled. On August 11, 2019, the band performed the song during the one-night only Lotte Duty Free Family Concert at the Olympic Gymnastics Arena in Seoul.

BTS performed the remix version of "Mic Drop" live for the first time on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on November 27, 2017. The band performed an "energetic" rendition of the song, trading off vocals and rapping verses on a "stark" stage decorated with flashing lights. Ryan Reed of Rolling Stone praised the performance, calling it "intricately choreographed." They performed the remix again on the November 30 episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! as part of the Mercedes-Benz Live! concert series, and at the 2017 Mnet Asian Music Awards in Hong Kong on December 1. Additionally, BTS gave a pre-recorded performance of the song on Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve on December 31, 2017. On April 13, 2019, BTS performed it together with their 2019 single "Boy with Luv" on Saturday Night Live, becoming the first K-pop group to perform on the show. For the performance, the band wore casual and colourful outfits from Virgil Abloh's first menswear collection for Louis Vuitton. It received widespread acclaim in the media as one of the most-anticipated performances in the show's history. Stephen Thompson of NPR wrote: "Lots of bands can seem strangely diminished by the SNL stage on TV, but on Saturday night, BTS filled every inch of the frame with flashy motion — tight choreography, bright colors, bold energy." Tyler Watamanuk of GQ praised "the crooning vocals, precise choreography, and charismatic swagger" while also lauding the "expert-level" on-stage fashion style of the band. Crystal Bell of MTV labelled the performance as "a fiery coronation" and "an epic, electrifying dance break," adding: "Sure, they can be playful, but they're also fierce and they have swagger — and they can dance." Writing for Elle, Alyssa Bailey cited the performance as "real show-stopping." On December 7, 2019, the band performed the song as the opening act of the 2019 iHeartRadio Jingle Ball concert at The Forum, Los Angeles. "Mic Drop" was included on the setlist of BTS' Love Yourself World Tour (2018–19). For performances of the song during the Love Yourself: Speak Yourself stadium extension of the tour, the band wore "retro-futuristic" outfits created by Dior artistic director and fashion designer Kim Jones, from his 2019 menswear pre-fall collection.

HBO series Silicon Valley featured the remix version of "Mic Drop" in the trailer for the show's fifth season. Uzbeki figure skater Misha Ge performed to the song during the figure skating gala event at the 2018 Winter Olympics.

Poecilia mexicana

Poecilia mexicana, commonly known as the shortfin molly or Atlantic molly, is a species of poeciliid fish native to fresh and brackish water in Mexico and Guatemala. One population is found in caves and known as the cave molly.

Description
The maximum standard length of this fish is 11 cm. It typically grows to a total length 4 cm.

Distribution and habitat
The fish lives in tropical freshwater and brackish water habitats. The shortfin molly is considered benthopelagic. It lives in a pH range between 7.0 and 7.5 at temperatures between 22 and 28 degrees Celsius. The species does not migrate. It is an invasive species in the Muddy River of Nevada, USA.

Speciation
In two case studies in Cueva del Azufre and Cueva Luna Azufre in Tabasco, Mexico, the Atlantic molly is experiencing speciation. It is occurring between cave and surface populations as well as between habitats of varying sulfur concentrations.

Human significance
The fishing industry has no interest in harvesting the species. However, it is sold commercially for aquariums. Occasionally, the shortfin molly is used as bait.

Etymology, taxonomy, and history
Franz Steindachner first described the species in 1863. Poecilia refers to the Greek word poikilos, which means "with a lot of colours". Common names include "shortfin molly" and "Atlantic molly." The type specimen was found in Orizaba, Mexico.

Spanish/Present

../Verbs/

No bones about it. The present tense is EASY. Just memorize the endings for the different verbs and a couple of oddball exceptions and you will be able to talk about any momentary thing that is on your mind. Who needs to plan for the future, dwell on the past, or delve into abstraction anyway ?

There are three verb types in Spanish. They are called -AR, -ER, and -IR verbs. Each of these refers to the last two letters of the infinitive form of the verb. Examples:  -AR: bailar, to dance; -ER: aprender, to learn; and -IR: escribir,  to write.

When you conjugate a verb you take the generic, infinitive form and change the ending to match the person(s) or thing(s) doing whatever action the verb describes. In Spanish, the last two letters come off and another ending goes on in their place. Each verb tense has its own set of six endings for each verb type. Don't worry though, there are patterns there and much of the endings overlap so it is easier to remember them.

The present tense verb endings are as follows:

-ar verbs

 * Yo (I): -o
 * Tú (you, informal): -as
 * El, ella, or usted (he, she, or you, formal):  -a
 * Nosotros (we): -amos
 * Vosotros (you, plural): -áis
 * Ellos, ustedes (they, or you, plural formal): -an

That is:

 * -o
 * -as
 * -a
 * -amos
 * -áis
 * -an

Sometimes the vowel in the ending is accented.

Here is an example conjugation:

Bailar

 * Yo bailo.  I dance.
 * Tú bailas.  You dance.
 * Usted, Él, Ella baila.  You (respectful) dance, he or she dances
 * Nosotros bailamos.  We dance.
 * Vosotros bailáis.  You dance.
 * Ustedes, Ellos, Ellas bailan.  They dance.

Of course, most of the above statements can be restated without any loss of meaning with no pronoun: Bailo -- I dance; bailas, you dance. In Spanish, the verbs change to reflect the person(s) doing the action on them and it is OK to leave off the pronouns, especially when context makes the subject clear.

-er/-ir verbs
-ER and -IR verbs are almost identical, so they are often listed together. The only differences in the present tense are in Nosotros and Vosotros.

For -ER verbs:
 * Yo (I): -o
 * Tú (you, informal): -es
 * El, ella, or usted (he, she, or you, formal):  -e
 * Nosotros (we): -emos
 * Vosotros (you, plural): -éis
 * Ellos, ustedes (they, or you, plural formal): -en

For -IR verbs:
 * Yo (I): -o
 * Tú (you, informal): -es
 * El, ella, or usted (he, she, or you, formal):  -e
 * Nosotros (we): -imos
 * Vosotros (you, plural): -ís
 * Ellos, ustedes (they, or you, plural formal): -en

That is:
 * -o
 * -es
 * -e
 * -emos (for -ER) or :-imos (for -IR)
 * -éis (for -ER) or :-ís (for -IR)
 * -en

Here is an example conjugation of an -ER verb:

Aprender

What is Law?
Most academic law courses begin with this sort of a question.

Start now by trying it: Write down as many characterstics of law as you can think of.

If you have other people around, ask them. See how your lists compare.

I'd suggest some of the words you might have used would be:

 * Rule
 * Binding
 * Enforcement / enforceable
 * Sanction
 * Authority (as in, rules created by an accepted authority)
 * State / Government
 * Courts

Implicitly here I am assuming we are talking about the law of a state (in the sense of an international country, rather than a domestic unit - i.e. I mean the USA, not California).

This is not the place to go into too much detail, but let me offer a couple of definitions:

"The written and unwritten body of rules largely derived from custom and formal enactment which are recognised as binding among those persons who constitute a community or state, so that they will be imposed upon and enforced among those persons by appropriate sanctions."

"The body of rules and guidelines within which society requires its judges to administer justice" - Lord Scarman

Activity: See what you can find in the way of definitions on the Internet.

What then is Public International Law?
Public International Law discusses on matters as the law of international organizations, the law of treaties, human rights, humanitarian law, international courts,etc.(Zarefar, A. at fa:wikipedia)

The Institution of the Law  is the set of rules or norms of conduct which forbid, permit or mandate specified actions, govern official resolution of conflict, and define relationships among people and organizations. The authority upon which legal rules rest and the extent to which they are formally codified varies between jurisdictions but all modern legal systems are united in their attempt to assure impartial treatment of those suspected of breaking the rules and to bring about justice.

Context Is for Kings

"Context Is for Kings" is the third episode of the American television series Star Trek: Discovery, which is set roughly a decade before the events of the original Star Trek series and explores the war between the Federation and the Klingons. The episode was written by showrunners Gretchen J. Berg and Aaron Harberts, and Craig Sweeny, from a story by series co-creator Bryan Fuller, Berg, and Harberts. It was directed by producer Akiva Goldsman.

Sonequa Martin-Green stars as Michael Burnham, the first Starfleet mutineer who began the war. Series regulars Doug Jones, Anthony Rapp, Mary Wiseman, and Jason Isaacs also appear in the episode. The series' writers consider this episode to be the show's equivalent of a pilot, introducing the majority of its main cast, the titular starship Discovery, and the beginning of the season-long story. The episode reused the series' starship sets for both the Discovery and its sister ship Glenn.

"Context Is for Kings" was released on CBS All Access on October 1, 2017. The episode's release was believed to have caused record subscriptions for All Access, and received mostly positive reviews from critics for the new status quo established after the prologue of the previous two episodes. The new cast additions were also praised, particularly Isaacs.

Plot
Six months after the start of the Federation–Klingon War of 2256, Michael Burnham, having been imprisoned for half a year, is on an unexpected prisoner transfer when an emergency forces her shuttle to be rescued by the USS Discovery. Spending several days on the ship, Burnham is ordered by its captain, the mysterious Gabriel Lorca, to assist with a scientific assignment. Burnham spends hours poring over complex computer code to find an error.

She overhears Lieutenant Paul Stamets, an astromycologist who is leading the assignment, discuss an upcoming experiment with a colleague serving on another starship; Lorca is soon informed of an incident on the Discovery's sister ship, the USS Glenn, that killed its crew. Stamets leads a boarding party, including Burnham, to investigate and finds the dead crew hideously twisted and malformed, as well as a group of Klingons who were killed by an unknown creature. When it attacks the boarding party, Burnham devises a plan to outwit the creature, allowing the rest of the party to escape to the shuttle.

Lorca later asks Burnham to work for him, despite her sentence, explaining that he organized the circumstances that led her to him, as he needs strong-minded people such as her to help him win the war. Burnham challenges him by saying she will not help him develop a weapon that goes against the Geneva Conventions. Lorca says he admires her and wants her on his team because she knows how to think for herself: "Universal law is for lackeys; context is for kings". He shows her that they are not working on a weapon but on a revolutionary propulsion method. After their conversation, Lorca talks to his chief of security, Commander Ellen Landry, to ensure his "package" is safely on board. Landry has secretly transported the creature aboard the Discovery.

Development
On November 2, 2015, CBS announced a new Star Trek television series to premiere in January 2017, "on the heels" of the original series' 50th anniversary in 2016. In February 2016, Bryan Fuller was announced as the new series' showrunner, but was asked by CBS to step down at the end of October. Gretchen J. Berg and Aaron Harberts replaced him as showrunners. In September 2017, CBS revealed that the series' third episode would be titled "Context Is for Kings". It was directed by producer Akiva Goldsman.

Writing
The teleplay for the episode was written by Berg, Harberts, and Craig Sweeny, based on a story by Fuller, Berg, and Harberts. The writers structured the season so that the first two episodes would act as a prologue, with the third episode beginning the series' actual story arc and being considered by them to be more equivalent to a traditional pilot than the show's first episode is. Actor Jason Isaacs noted that a series would not traditionally be able to use that structure, but that Discovery is able to do so because of its streaming format though CBS All Access. Harberts described the episode as one of "secrets and mysteries" and introducing a version of Starfleet that is at war. The episode also re-introduces protagonist Michael Burnham as resigned to her fate as a lifelong prisoner following her mutiny in the prologue. The story begins six months after the prologue, inspired by film sequels that begin with significant events having transpired since the previous installment such as Terminator 2: Judgment Day.

Burnham's character arc for the episode takes her from not caring about her fate, to being willing to sign up for something new as part of the Discovery's mission. The writers were interested in exploring Burnham's upbringing as the foster child of Amanda Grayson and Sarek, exploring how the human Grayson would have wanted to counter some of Burnham's "logical" Vulcan teachings, and similarly would have wanted to expand the views of her son Spock by teaching him that "logic doesn't dictate everything". This led to the introduction of Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland as a book that Grayson read to them as children and which Burnham now carries with her as a talisman to "center herself". The book also thematically connected to the series with its use of mushrooms, tying into the series' scientific exploration of fungi and spores. Grayson's interest in the works of Lewis Carroll and Spock's awareness of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland were both previously established in the Star Trek: The Animated Series episode "Once Upon a Planet".

It was also important to the writers to justify the presence of Cadet Sylvia Tilly, whose optimistic outlook is at odds with the rest of the crew of the Discovery and the tone of the series, by having her prove herself during the character's first away mission. This came in the moment where Tilly spots, and calls out, a Klingon on the derelict starship Glenn, showing the character to be as capable as the other characters. The monstrous creature introduced on the Glenn was described by Harberts as "vital" to the series, stating that it would be reappearing in future episodes, and that it would serve as a metaphor for Burnham and her character journey in the show.

Casting
The series stars Sonequa Martin-Green as Burnham, Doug Jones as Saru, Shazad Latif as Ash Tyler, Anthony Rapp as Paul Stamets,  Mary Wiseman as Tilly,  and Isaacs as Gabriel Lorca; Latif does not appear in this episode.

Additionally, guest star Rekha Sharma was cast as Discovery's security officer Commander Landry at the end of April 2017. The creature introduced in the episode, referred to as a "tardigrade" after the real-life micro-animal of the same name, is portrayed in-part by a puppet. It was originally intended to be a full-time member of the Discovery's crew, named Ephraim for the zoologist Johann August Ephraim Goeze who discovered the real species. However, this was deemed to be impractical.

Filming and design
Filming for scenes set on the Glenn took place on the sets previously used for USS Shenzhou in the prologue episodes. Changes made to the sets for filming in this episode include the adding of "scratched walls, flickering lights, dangling wires, busted doors". The set was decorated with blood and ten corpses, including an actor in Klingon prosthetics portraying a dead member of that species. Another Klingon actor was connected to a pulley system with a special harness and pulled out of shot, to simulate being dragged away by the creature, something that was filmed multiple times to get "just right". To film the following chase sequence, the actors were followed through the set by a cameraman on a Segway. Those same sets were later redressed to portray the Discovery. The shuttle bay of the Discovery is completely computer-generated, and is the most expensive set in the series due to the visual effects requirements.

Goldsman felt that each episode of the series has its "own tonal components that are driven by script", and that this episode is "mysterious and threatening because I felt Burnham’s circumstance was mysterious and threatening". Goldsman embraced this tone, and incorporated elements of the horror genre. He noted that the producers generally wanted the series to be watchable for families, but they also had the freedom to push boundaries with the streaming format of the series, and so some of the horror elements included in the episode would not be appropriate for young children, such as the corpses of the Glenn's crew, which were described as "swirled up bodies" and were designed in Adobe Photoshop. They attempted to indicate this to parents who may be showing the series to children by giving it a "TV-MA" rating, even though the majority of the episode, and the series as a whole, was not intended to require that higher rating.

Lorca is first introduced eating fortune cookies, part of his family backstory and one of the comforts that he is allowed in his ready room. Isaacs had to eat hundreds of fortune cookies in the course of filming the scene, and said he did not want to repeat that experience. Isaacs did note the symbolism of Lorca wanting Burnham to read her fortune, "but she doesn't want to do it. The point is that she's gonna create her own fortune by making the right decision by the end of the episode." Saru offering blueberries to Burnham in the episode was a tribute to Fuller who "would walk through the offices of Star Trek, and he would offer you a blueberry."

Release
"Context Is for Kings" was made available on CBS All Access on October 1, 2017. In Canada, it was broadcast on the specialty channels Space (English) and Z (French), before being streamed on CraveTV. In 188 other countries, the episode was released on Netflix within 24 hours of its U.S. debut.

Ratings and viewership
The release of the episode led to a record week of subscriptions to All Access, besting the previous record week established by the series' premiere the week before.

Critical response
The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported a 92% approval rating with an average rating of 8.74/10 based on 25 reviews. The website's critical consensus reads, "'Context Is for Kings' is a successful soft reboot—with its namesake ship and new captain setting the series on a new, more confident course."

James Hunt of Den of Geek said, "If this is the quality of an average episode then I’m super-happy with the way this show is turning out." He highlighted the introduction of the Discovery, and its difference from previous Star Trek starships, as well as Isaac's "subtlety" in portraying Lorca. He did criticize some of the dialogue and its use of exposition, but ended by saying, "What I like most about this show is that it hasn’t forgotten to inject moments of curiosity, wonder and philosophy into the story—and that makes it enough like Star Trek that I can cope with any other changes." Megan Davies at Digital Spy called the episode "the pilot Star Trek: Discovery should have had all along." She noted the expanded cast to support Martin-Green's lead performance, particularly the promoted Saru and introduced Stamets. Davies also noted that the episode "has fun with its genre. Here Star Trek plays with the makings of a mystery [and] nowhere does it excel more than when it devotes itself to pure, thrilling horror as it does during the boarding of the USS Glenn."

For IGN, Scott Collura scored the episode a "great" 8.4 out of 10, feeling that the wait for the introduction of the Discovery and its crew was worth it. Collura liked Lorca, felt Tilly was "a ton of fun", and called Saru "a highlight of the show". Alan Sepinwall, writing for Uproxx, felt the shift from the prologue for the episode was "jarring, and raises the question of why two episodes needed to be devoted to setting it up." However, he was positive of the greater focus on the Starfleet characters, including the "quiet, suspicious version" of Burnham, as well as the featured science. Sepinwall concluded, "I wasn’t sure I wanted to spend a lot of time watching the show Discovery was in its first two hours, despite liking several performances and a lot of the production choices. The show it seems to be now is one I’m much more enthusiastic about." Zack Handlen of The A.V. Club graded the episode an 'A−', calling the change from the prologue disorienting, but feeling that the different nature of the Discovery and its crew was well established. Handlen particularly noted the action scene where Burnham quotes from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, finding it "utterly unexpected, and it hooked me good."

Reviewing for The New York Times, Sopan Deb found the episode to be convoluted and gloomy, and felt that many of the characters, especially Burnham, did not work because the audience had not been given time to become affectionate toward them before they started making bold actions. Deb did say, "Whatever it is, it isn't boring. It has action and strong casting", specifically highlighting Isaacs as Lorca and Goldsman's direction of the horror scenes.

In 2020, ScreenRant noted that this episode had a ranking of 7.7 on IMDb based on user rankings, placing it as the tenth best episode of Star Trek: Discovery including season one and two. In 2020, Den of Geek ranked this episode the 18th most scary episode of all Star Trek series up to that time.

User:Stevepovah/St. Peter's Church Annexe

St. Peter's Church Annexe, Trusthorpe Lincolnshire

Introduction In 1964, due to the keen interest in the youth of the area by the late Rev. Jack Parkinson, the site of the old pig sty in the Rectory Paddock was developed. Villagers of Trusthorpe and a local building firm (Simons & Co.) gave materials and labour of its staff free of charge to build a new Annexe.

The site was completely transformed into a smart meeting place and boat house for the local Sea Scouts who initially achieved great success. Sadly, however, in 1971, they were disbanded, and although the meeting place was used occasionally, it began to fall into disrepair. In the 1980s it was taken over by the Parochial Church Council and transformed into St. Peter’s Annexe.

1980's During the period of the 80s this unusual little building enjoyed great success being used weekly by Sunday School Children, Brownies, Cubs and Scouts. Local events such as Christening and Anniversary parties were held there. The adjoining paddock, no longer belonging to the privately owned rectory, was also controlled by the P.C.C. and used for Village Fetes, BBQs and Summer Fayres etc. A small team of villagers, old and young, regularly maintained the St. Peter’s Churchyard and the Annexe paddock was planted with shrubs and trees, a haven for birds and wildlife.

1990's A new car park in the grounds, paid for by local businesses was completed in the 1990s at a cost of £15,000.00. This provided a driveway around the Annexe for the essential use of wedding cars or the hearse at funerals.

2000's In 2000 the Annexe was in use by all members of the community and funds were raised to purchase a new heating system, improvements to the toilets and various items for the kitchen. In the summer months it is used for serving refreshments at Car Boot Sales, Table Top and Book Sales, a Dog Show, BBQ and many other fund-raising events.

2010's In 2012, when the Church had repairs to its Tower, Sunday Services were moved into the Annexe together with the annual Christmas Carol Service. It is now used every Sunday and Tuesday morning for coffee and refreshments after the now popular Church Services. At the beginning of 2013 fund raising began for a new roof which was completed before the harsh March winds. In July 2013 a group of 50 teenagers, from a Gospel Group in London, stayed locally and helped paint the outside of the Annexe and tidy-up the surrounding gardens and paddock. These young people took time away from their busy schedule of Gospel Services in order to help with the refurbishment. One of these services was led by the Archbishop of Canterbury on his visit to Mablethorpe who expressed a keen interest in the work being achieved in such a deprived area.

New Committee After 50 years of community use, the P.C.C. set up a new Committee focussed solely on improvements to the Annexe to give it a total refurbishment for an Anniversary Celebration in the late summer of 2014. The village and local companies have donated generously to fund new windows and better access for disabled entry. The surrounding paddock is to be landscaped and the Victorian street lighting at the side of the building is to be refurbished for the 2014 Harvest Festival.

It is fair to say that St. Peter’s Annexe has been visited and used by all members of the community and it is hoped that local residents will enjoy events at this year’s 50th Anniversary celebrations and continue to use it for many years to come.
