I am becoming acquainted with a young couple from the province of Azerbaijan, Iran. (not to be confused with the autonomous country of Azerbaijan) He says that since they left Iran four years ago the Azerbaijani provinces of Iran have gained their independence from Iran (just over a year ago), and now have more political ties with the country, Azerbaijan, formerly a state in the Soviet Union, which gained its independence when the Soviet Union disintegrated. I have searched extensively for more information on the subject but can find nothing. I would love to see an article on the subject. My friends are well-educated (he has a mining engineers degree and she gained her masters in mathematics at University of Manitoba recently) and could certainly serve as sources, but they struggle with their English and could presently not do the writing themselves. I sense they are highly skilled in Persian. I have not talked to the couple about this, but would do so if their help would be requested.

Skaphia Ancient Greek device for lighting fire using mirrors from the sun? Reference to such a device in Plutarch's "Life of Numa" has been cited as inspiration for the practice of lighting the modern Olympic torch using parabolic mirrors. [13], [14] Elsewhere the term more simply means "basket." Plutarch seems to credit ancient Greeks (living many centuries before his time) with a fire-starting technology using mirrors. Was he correct? Is this the correct term?

Vice-Admiral Walter Lock (1757-1835), a contemporary of Lord Nelson, served with distinction in the Royal Navy from his joining in 1768, at the age of 12, until his death in 1835. In 1779, for example, during the American Revolution and whilst in temporary command of the badly damaged frigate HMS Rose, he deliberately sank his ship in the channel leading to Savannah, thus preventing the intervention of the French fleet and ensuring that Savannah remained in British hands until the end of the war. When Prince William Henry, Duke of Clarence and future King William IV, was serving as midshipman on HMS Hebe in 1784, Walter Lock, as first Lieutenant, became his mentor and lifelong friend. On leaving the ship, the prince presented a sword to Walter Lock as a token of friendship and esteem, engraved with their names and currently in the National Maritime Museum at Greenwich. Ironically, Nelson found himself out of favour with George III for associating with his “disreputable son, Prince William Henry”. As third lieutenant on Admiral Earl Howe’s flagship HMS Queen Charlotte, Lock acquitted himself so well at the battle of the “Glorious First of June” 1794 that he was promoted to Commander within a month and, only a year later, to Captain.
Vice-Admiral Walter Locke was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant in 1778, to Commander in 1794 and to the rank of Captain in 1795. He served as Lieutenant in HMS 'Queen Charlotte' in the Battle of the Glorious First of June on the 1st June 1794 and was present at the action off L'Orient in 1795. He subsequently commanded HMS 'Ville de Paris' and HMS 'Prince of Wales'. In 1804 he was employed in the Sea Fencible Service at Berwick and afterwards on the Isle of Wight. In 1811 he was appointed Agent for Prisoners of War at Portchester. In 1814, he was promoted to the rank of Rear-Admiral of the Blue, to Rear-Admiral of the White in 1819 and to Rear-Admiral of the Red in 1821. He became Vice-Admiral of the Blue in 1825 and Vice-Admiral of the White in 1830. He is honoured by a particularly fine memorial in St Thomas’ Church, Ryde, and he lies in the churchyard with his wife and one of his sons.

Before World War 2 in 1940 the U.S. Government restarted the Government-Managed Rationing from World War 1. This is a brief list of conflicting reports as to the actual start year. [49]M&M'sIn1940 "Forrest E. Mars, Sr. returns to the United States and establishes M&M Limited in Newark, New Jersey. 1941 The first M&M’S Plain Chocolate Candies are made for the U.S. Military.[50]
"Mars received a patent for his own process on March 3, 1941. Production began in 1941 in a factory located at 285 Badger Avenue in Clinton Hill, Newark, New Jersey. When the company was founded it was M&M Limited. The two "Ms" represent the names of Forrest E. Mars Sr., the founder of Newark Company, and Bruce Murrie, son of Hershey Chocolate's president William F. R. Murrie, who had a 20 percent share in the product. The arrangement allowed the candies to be made with Hershey chocolate, as Hershey had control of the rationed chocolate at the time. What is known is that in 1940, Mars concocted his own version of candy-coated chocolate drops and took them to the Hershey Corporation. There, he proposed an 80-20 partnership to Bruce Murrie, the son of Hershey executive William Murrie, in which Bruce would be the 20-percent partner. At the time, World War II was developing, and chocolate was rationed during this period. The Hershey Corporation, however, already had a deal to provide chocolate for the troops. [51]
I want more. I'm spent 6 hours on this already. There is more out there but I was on Wikipedia looking up the history of M&M's which led to more questions.

Brazilian Civil War - Brazil experienced numerous civil wars, especially in the 19th century. There was no singular event such as the United States experienced, so this link would be something of a misnomer and there is already a list of Rebellions and revolutions in Brazil. I have changed the only link to this red link to rebellions and revolutions in Brazil, which was the only one extant on Wikipedia. However, it may be a good idea for someone to start a page covering the general topic.

Indigenous feudalism Hypothesis raised by Faoro also for the colonial period and broadly debated for the brazillian historiograph and both by the Romantic Indianism of Brazilian literature in the nineteenth century as well as the Brazilian Integralist / Communist / Tenentistas political movements of the 1920s beyond the Brazilian modernism of the same era. It is also a question of comparing the relationship between the most advanced pre-Columbian civilizations of the continent such as that of the Inca Empire with the Paleolithic Indians of the Cauca Valley, for example, in parallel to the relations between the "Roman Empires" of both the West and the East with the villages called "Barbarians" both Slavic and Germanic among others.
