Becky is a pejorative American slang term for a white woman. After Beyoncé used the term in 2016 in the song "Sorry", on her album Lemonade ("He only want me when I'm not there / He better call Becky with the good hair"), it came to mean a "white girl who loves Starbucks and Uggs and is clueless about racial and social issues", according to the New Statesman. In 2019 the dictionary publisher Merriam-Webster wrote that: "Becky is increasingly functioning as an epithet, and being used especially to refer to a white woman who is ignorant of both her privilege and her prejudice."

Ebionites (Greek: Ἐβιωναῖοι, Ebionaioi, derived from Hebrew אביונים ebyonim, ebionim, meaning "the poor" or "poor ones") is a patristic term referring to a Jewish Christian movement that existed during the early centuries of the Christian Era. They regarded Jesus of Nazareth as the Messiah while rejecting his divinity andhis virgin birth and insisted on the necessity of following Jewish law and rites. They used only one of the Jewish–Christian gospels, the Hebrew Book of Matthew starting at chapter three; revered James, the brother of Jesus (James the Just); and rejected Paul the Apostle as an apostate from the Law. Their name suggests that they placed a special value on voluntary poverty. Ebionim was one of the terms used by the sect at Qumran who sought to separate themselves from the corruption of the Temple. Many believe that the Qumran sectarians were Essenes. Since historical records by the Ebionites are scarce, fragmentary and disputed, much of what is known or conjectured about the Ebionites derives from the Church Fathers who wrote polemics against the Ebionites, who they deemed heretical Judaizers. Consequently, very little about the Ebionite sect or sects is known with certainty, and most, if not all, statements about them are conjectural. At least one scholar distinguishes the Ebionites from other Jewish Christian groups, such as the Nazarenes. Other scholars, like the Church Fathers themselves from the first centuries after Jesus, consider the Ebionites identical with the Nazarenes.

Indian classical music is the classical music of the Indian subcontinent. It has two major traditions: the North Indian classical music tradition is called Hindustani, while the South Indian expression is called Carnatic. These traditions were not distinct till about the 16th century. There on, during the turmoils of Islamic rule period of the Indian subcontinent, the traditions separated and evolved into distinct forms. Hindustani music emphasizes improvisation and exploring all aspects of a raga, while Carnatic performances tend to be short and composition-based. However, the two systems continue to have more common features than differences.

Vedic Mathematics is a book written by an Indian monk Swami Bharati Krishna Tirtha and first published in 1965. It contains a list of mental calculation techniques claimed to be discovered in the Vedas and subscribed to the author's longstanding assertions of the Vedas containing all forms of knowledge; it has since led to a proliferation of publications around the locus of Vedic Maths. The mental calculation system mentioned in the book is also known by the same name or as "Vedic Maths". Its characterization as "Vedic" mathematics has been criticized by academics, who have also opposed its inclusion in the Indian school curriculum. Although the book was first published in 1965, Tirthaji had been propagating the techniques since much earlier, through lectures and classes. He wrote the book in 1957. It was published in 1965, five years after his death as 367 pages in forty chapters. Reprints were made in 1975 and 1978 to accommodate typographical corrections. Several reprints have been made since the 1990s. Originally, Krishna Tirtha wrote 16 volumes, one on each sutra but the manuscripts were lost before publication. He re-wrote a summary volume in the later years of his life. The book is based on sixteen sutras and thirteen sub-sutras. Krishna Tirtha claims to have found the sutras after years of studying the Vedas, a set of sacred ancient Hindu scriptures, in solitude in a forest; they were supposedly contained in the pariśiṣṭa (supplementary text/appendix) of Atharvaveda. He does not provide any more bibliographic clarification on the sourcing. However, the Vedas do not contain any of those claimed sutras and sub-sutras. When challenged by Professor K.S. Shukla, a mathematician and a historiographer of ancient Indian mathematics to locate the sutras in question in the Parishishta of the Atharvaveda, Krishna Tirtha said the sixteen sutras were not included in standard editions of the pariśiṣṭas but only in a hitherto-undiscovered version, chanced upon by him; the foreword and introduction of the book takes a similar stand, as well. Tirtha has never produced the claimed manuscript and Sanskrit scholars have since confirmed that the linguistic style did not correspond to the claimed time-spans but rather reflected contemporary Sanskrit. Incidentally, Professor V. S. Agrawala, the editor of the first edition of Tirthaji's book, notes that there is no evidence that the sutras are "Vedic", as such, in their origin. S. G. Dani of IIT Bombay notes that the sutras and sub-sutras almost-always allude to abstract literary expressions (as much less , one less than previous one et al) prone to creative interpretations and Krishna Tirtha exploits this to the extent of manipulating the same shloka to generate widely different mathematical equivalencies. He also points out that the contents of the book have "practically nothing in common" with the mathematics of the Vedic period or even with subsequent developments in Indian mathematics. Shukla reiterates the observations. For example, multiple techniques in the book involve the use of high-precision decimal fractions, which were not known during the Vedic times and were introduced in India, only in the sixteenth century; the works of numerous ancient mathematicians such as Aryabhata, Brahmagupta and Bhaskara were entirely based on fractions. Also, some of the sutras claimed to run parallel to the General Leibniz rule and Taylor's theorem (which, per Krishna Tirtha, were to be yet studied by the western world); it did ultimately boil down to the sub-elementary performative operations of basic differentiation on polynomials notwithstanding the fact that historic India had no minimal knowledge about the conceptual notions of differentiation and integration. Sutras have been leveraged to claim that analytic geometry of conics occupied an important tier in Vedic mathematics and some others have been applied to topics as diverse as statics and pneumatics to ratio-proportion and financial domains. Much of the book contains a compendium of tricks that can be applied in elementary middle and high school arithmetic and algebra, to gain faster results, which Dani notes to have surely stemmed from contemporary education and experimentation with numbers but nevertheless, considers to be an impressive feat. Dani also points out that while much of Tirthaji's methods were not unique, they may have been invented by him independently, as Krishna Tirtha held an MA in mathematics. Similar systems include the Trachtenberg system or the techniques mentioned in Lester Meyers's 1947 book High-speed Mathematics. Alex Bellos points out that several of the calculation tricks can also be found in certain European treatises on calculation from the early Modern period. Krishna Tirtha also claims that no part of advanced mathematics were beyond the realms of his book and that studying his book, for about a year spending a couple of hours every day, equates to the spending of about two decades in any standardized education system, necessary to be professionally trained in the discipline of mathematics; Dani notes the claims to be patently absurd. Dani notes the book to be of dubious quality, overall which did a disservice to the pedagogy of mathematical education by presenting the subject as a bunch of tricks without any conceptual rigor as well as to STS studies in India by adhering to dubious historiographical standards, with the primary aim being restricted to the realms of appealing before the urge for cultural self-assertion, felt by a majority of the Indian psyche. He also points out that while Tirthaji's system could be used as a teaching aid, there was a need to prevent the use of "public money and energy on its propagation, beyond the limited extent" and that authentic Vedic studies were being neglected in India even as Tirthaji's system received support from several Government and private agencies. Jayant Narlikar has voiced similar concerns. Hartosh Singh Bal notes that whilst Krishna Tirtha's attempts might be somewhat acceptable in light of his nationalistic inclinations during colonial rule (Krishna Tirtha had left his spiritual endeavors to head a national college, that were increasingly set up during the British Raj to counter Macaulayism), it set the grounds for further ethno-nationalistic abuse of historiography by Hindu Nationalist parties. The book had been included in the school syllabus of Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh, soon after Bharatiya Janata Party, a right wing Hindu nationalist political party came to power. There was a proposal from NCERT to induct Vedic Maths into the standard curricula which was shelved after a number of academics and mathematicians, led by Dani, opposed these attempts on previously discussed rationales and criticized the move as a politically guided attempt at saffronization. Meera Nanda notes hagiographic descriptions of Indian knowledge systems by various right cultural movements (incl. BJP) which deemed Krishna Tirtha to be in the leagues of Srinivasa Ramanujan. Proponents of Vedic Mathematics however argue that the methods are not merely mathematical tricks and that there is an underlying psychology because the aphorisms describe personal approaches to problem-solving and invite students to deal with time-efficient strategies. Others have commented on its potential to attract schoolchildren to mathematics and increase popular engagement with the subject.

Indian classical music is the classical music of the Indian subcontinent. It has two major traditions: the North Indian classical music tradition is called Hindustani, while the South Indian expression is called Carnatic. These traditions were not distinct till about the 16th century. There on, during the turmoils of Islamic rule period of the Indian subcontinent, the traditions separated and evolved into distinct forms. Hindustani music emphasizes improvisation and exploring all aspects of a raga, while Carnatic performances tend to be short and composition-based. However, the two systems continue to have more common features than differences. The roots of the classical music of India are found in the Vedic literature of Hinduism and the ancient Natyashastra, the classic Sanskrit text on performance arts by Bharata Muni. The 13th century Sanskrit text Sangita-Ratnakara of Sarangadeva is regarded as the definitive text by both the Hindustani music and the Carnatic music traditions. Indian classical music has two foundational elements, raga and tala. The raga, based on swara (notes including microtones), forms the fabric of a melodic structure, while the tala measures the time cycle. The raga gives an artist a palette to build the melody from sounds, while the tala provides them with a creative framework for rhythmic improvisation using time. In Indian classical the space between the notes is often more important than the notes themselves, and it does not require Western classical concepts such as harmony, counterpoint, chords, or modulation.

Māori (; Māori pronunciation: [ˈmaːɔɾi] ), also known as te reo ("the language"), is an Eastern Polynesian language spoken by the Māori people, the indigenous population of New Zealand. Closely related to Cook Islands Māori, Tuamotuan, and Tahitian, it gained recognition as one of New Zealand's official languages in 1987. The number of speakers of the language has declined sharply since 1945, but a Māori language revitalisation effort slowed the decline, and the language has experienced a revival, particularly since about 2015. A national census undertaken in 2013 reported that about 149,000 people, or 3.7% of the New Zealand population, could hold a conversation in Māori about everyday things. As of 2015, 55% of Māori adults reported some knowledge of the language; of these speakers, 64% use Māori at home and around 50,000 people can speak the language "very well" or "well". The Māori language did not have an indigenous writing system. Missionaries arriving from about 1814 learned to speak Māori, and introduced the Latin alphabet. In 1817 Tītore, and his junior relative, Tui, sailed to England. They visited Professor Samuel Lee at Cambridge University and assisted him in the preparation of a grammar and vocabulary of Māori. Kendall travelled to London in 1820 with Hongi Hika and Waikato (a lower ranking Ngāpuhi chief) during which time further work was done with Professor Lee, who gave phonetic spellings to a written form of the language, which resulted in a definitive orthography based on Northern usage. By 1830 the Church Missionary Society (CMS) missionaries had revised the orthography for writing the Māori language; for example, "Kiddeekiddee" became, what is the modern spelling, "Kerikeri". Māori distinguishes between long and short vowels; modern written texts usually mark the long vowels with a macron. Some older texts represent long vowels with double letters (e.g. "Maaori"); for modern exceptions see below.

Basketball is a team sport in which two teams, most commonly of five players each, opposing one another on a rectangular court, compete with the primary objective of a basketball (approximately 9.4 inches (24 cm) in diameter) through the defender's hoop (a basket 18 inches (46 cm) in diameter mounted 10 feet (3.048 m) high to a backboard at each end of the court) while preventing the opposing team from shooting through their own hoop. A field goal is worth two points, unless made from behind the three-point line, when it is worth three. After a foul, timed play stops and the player fouled or designated to shoot a technical foul is given one or more one-point free throws. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins, but if regulation play expires with the score tied, an additional period of play (overtime) is mandated. Players advance the ball by bouncing it while walking or running (dribbling) or by passing it to a teammate, both of which require considerable skill. On offense, players may use a variety of shots—the lay-up, the jump shot, or a dunk; on defense, they may steal the ball from a dribbler, intercept passes, or block shots; either offense or defense may collect a rebound, that is, a missed shot that bounces from rim or backboard. It is a violation to lift or drag one's pivot foot without dribbling the ball, to carry it, or to hold the ball with both hands then resume dribbling. The five players on each side at a time fall into five playing positions: the tallest player is usually the center, the tallest and strongest is the power forward, a slightly shorter but more agile big man is the small forward, and the shortest players or the best ball handlers are the shooting guard and the point guard, who implements the coach's game plan by managing the execution of offensive and defensive plays (player positioning). Informally, players may play three-on-three, two-on-two, and one-on-one. Invented in 1891 by Canadian-American gym teacher James Naismith in Springfield, Massachusetts, United States, basketball has evolved to become one of the world's most popular and widely viewed sports. The National Basketball Association (NBA) is the most significant professional basketball league in the world in terms of popularity, salaries, talent, and level of competition. Outside North America, the top clubs from national leagues qualify to continental championships such as the Euroleague and FIBA Americas League. The FIBA Basketball World Cup and Men's Olympic Basketball Tournament are the major international events of the sport and attract top national teams from around the world. Each continent hosts regional competitions for national teams, like EuroBasket and FIBA AmeriCup. The FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup and Women's Olympic Basketball Tournament feature top national teams from continental championships. The main North American league is the WNBA (NCAA Women's Division I Basketball Championship is also popular), whereas strongest European clubs participate in the EuroLeague Women.

Storms that form east of the date line and north of the equator are called hurricanes; see 1979 Pacific hurricane season. Tropical storms formed in the entire west Pacific basin were assigned a name by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center. Tropical depressions in this basin have the "W" suffix added to their number. Tropical depressions that enter or form in the Philippine area of responsibility are assigned a name by the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration or PAGASA. This can often result in the same storm having two names.

The 2019 Rugby World Cup is the ongoing ninth Rugby World Cup, the quadrennial rugby union world championship. The tournament is being held in Japan from 20 September to 2 November. This is the first time the tournament has been held in Asia and outside the traditional Tier 1 rugby nations. The opening match of the 2019 Rugby World Cup took place at Tokyo Stadium in Chōfu, Tokyo, and the final match will be held at International Stadium Yokohama in Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture by World Rugby. The cancellation of three pool matches due to Typhoon Hagibis was the first ever occasion any Rugby World Cup match had been cancelled. The decisions were made on safety grounds with considerations on the expected impact the typhoon would have. After initial uncertainty, the match between Japan and Scotland went ahead as planned. Japan having already overcome world number two ranked side, Ireland, won in another upset victory, becoming the first Tier 2 rugby nation to top their pool and the first to reach the knockout stage of the tournament since Fiji in 2007. In doing so, they were also the first Asian team to reach the knockout stages of the tournament, thus making Asia the sixth and final continent to achieve the feat.

Located near the Baltic Sea and the German border, it is a major seaport and Poland's third-largest city. As of December 2018, the population was 402,465. Szczecin is located on the Oder, south of the Szczecin Lagoon and the Bay of Pomerania. The city is situated along the southwestern shore of Dąbie Lake, on both sides of the Oder and on several large islands between the western and eastern branches of the river. Szczecin is adjacent to the town of Police and is the urban centre of the Szczecin agglomeration, an extended metropolitan area that includes communities in the German states of Brandenburg and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. The city's recorded history began in the 8th century as a Slavic Pomeranian stronghold, built at the site of the Ducal castle. In the 12th century, when Szczecin had become one of Pomerania's main urban centres, it lost its independence to Piast Poland, the Duchy of Saxony, the Holy Roman Empire and Denmark, and became completely German speaking by the 14th century. At the same time, the House of Griffins established themselves as local rulers and the population was Christianized. After the Treaty of Stettin in 1630, the town came under the control of the Swedish Empire and became in 1648 the Capital of Swedish Pomerania until 1720, when it was acquired by the Kingdom of Prussia and then the German Empire. Following World War II Stettin became part of Poland in accordance with the Potsdam Agreement, resulting in the almost complete expulsion of the pre-war population. Szczecin is the administrative and industrial centre of West Pomeranian Voivodeship and is the site of the University of Szczecin, Pomeranian Medical University, Maritime University, West Pomeranian University of Technology, Szczecin Art Academy, and the see of the Szczecin-Kamień Catholic Archdiocese. From 1999 onwards, Szczecin has served as the site of the headquarters of NATO's Multinational Corps Northeast. Szczecin was a candidate for the European Capital of Culture in 2016.
