Wood, shot by a sniper with a high-powered rifle, became the first American federal judge in U.S. history to be murdered. At 8:30 in the morning, Judge Wood was walking from the doorway of his condominium at the Chateaux Dijon and preparing to open his car door when he was struck in the low back by a single gunshot.  His assassin, Charles Harrelson, carried out the killing after being paid by drug dealer Jamiel Chagra, who was free on $400,000 bond.  Harrelson would be sentenced to life imprisonment, and Chagra to 10 years incarceration.

Збручский культовый центр — археологический комплекс IX—XIII веков, расположенный на правом берегу реки Збруч в Тернопольской области Украины, на территории заповедника «Медоборы».

На территории комплекса располагалось несколько языческих святилищ, посёлки и могильник. Центр являлся одним из последних языческих святилищ в Древнерусском государстве. Судя по данным раскопок, именно на территории збручского культового центра был установлен ранее найденный неподалёку Збручский идол.

Храмовый центр на Збруче по размерам, планировке и находкам вполне сопоставим с Арконой на острове Рюген, Шлежей (Шлонже) в Силезии, святилищами в Свентокшиских горах Польши (Лысая Гора, Гродова Гора, Дембно, Добжешуво).

Комплекс обнаружен в 1984 году Прикарпатской экспедицией Института археологии АН СССР.

Историк Максим Жих связывает рассказ аль-Масуди о славянских языческих храмах с  крупным языческим славянским религиозным центром с городищами-святилищами Богит, Звенигород и Говда, который существовал в Прикарпатье.

История
Збручский культовый центр возник в густых лесах на берегу Збруча в конце Х — начале XI вв, в период массового крещения населения Киевской Руси. Не исключено, что сюда стекались как верующие в языческих богов люди, так и жрецы из разрушаемых святилищ. Вещи, найденные на территории жертвенных комплексов, происходят из разных местностей Южной Руси, что свидетельствует о том, что центр был весьма значимым и известным местом поклонения языческим богам. На территории центра найдены небольшие кельи-жилища, предназначенные для постоянного проживания служителей культа — жрецов.

Ряд исследователей полагает, что святилища на Збруче взяли на себя функции главного языческого святилища, основанного Владимиром Великим в 980 году и позже разрушенного им же в 988 при крещении Руси.

Збручский культовый центр прекратил существование приблизительно в XIII веке. Не исключено, что причиной этому послужило татаро-монгольское нашествие, хотя болоховцы добровольно перешли на сторону татар. При этом каменные идолы, находившиеся в святилищах, были спрятаны от захватчиков в реке.

По другой версии культовый центр был разрушен в рамках борьбы с язычеством, а идолы были сброшены в реку (так поступили с идолами в 988 году при разрушении киевского святилища).
Ещё по одной версии центр был разрушен во время покорения Данилой Галицким Болоховской земли.

Состав культового центра
Збручский центр имел сложную структуру и состоял из трёх городков-святилищ на правом берегу Збруча (Бохит, Звенигород, Говда) и, возможно, одного святилища на левом берегу (Иванковцы, урочище Замчище).

Также рядом с ними располагались не менее десяти посёлков и могильник.

L'université du Chili (en espagnol : Universidad de Chile, « la U »), fondée par l'État chilien le , est à la fois première fondée par la nouvelle République du Chili et la plus prestigieuse université du pays. Les plus anciennes universités étant l'Université pontificale saint Thomas d'Aquin fondée en 1622 et la Real Universidad de San Felipe, fondée en 1727. Cette dernière changea son nom en Universidad de San Felipe après l'indépendance jusqu'à la création du Instituto Nacional.

Présentation

S'étalant sur cinq campus répartis dans Santiago, elle regroupe quelque  étudiants.

Elle s'enorgueillit de deux prix Nobel (Pablo Neruda et Gabriela Mistral). Elle a de plus été le lieu d'études de 17 présidents du Chili dont Michelle Bachelet, présidente du Chili.

L'université a grandement participé à l'essor du pays et tient toujours une grande place dans la vie chilienne. Elle est la meilleure université du pays et les candidats y sont nombreux, notamment car elle est une université publique d'État. Elle n'est pas pour autant gratuite, mais l'État la subventionne pour chaque élève.

La « U » possède aussi une radio, une équipe de foot et un théâtre, le tout nationaux. Il y a par exemple un Musée d'art populaire américain.

Pour les Chiliens, intégrer « la U » est synonyme d'une belle réussite scolaire et d'un futur professionnel qui semble très positif. Il existe beaucoup moins de possibilités d'études que dans certains pays européens ou en Amérique du Nord. On a un diplôme de l'université ou on n'a pas de diplôme en sorte, d'où l'engouement pour ces universités prestigieuses comme la « Chile » (autre nom donné par les Chiliens à l'université du Chili) et la « PUC ». Les Chiliens utilisent aussi la « U » pour dénommer l'université ou l'équipe de football.

Dans la classification mondiale des universités (2006) réalisée par l'université Jiao-Tong de Shanghai (Chine), la « Chile » est l'unique université chilienne présente, de même le classement Webometrics de  la place première au Chili, quatrième en Amérique latine et  dans le monde.

 Docteurs honoris causa : c'est la plus haute distinction octroyée par la « Chile ». Des personnalités telles que Kofi Annan, Lionel Jospin, Lech Wałęsa ou Alain Touraine obtinrent cette distinction.

Ivy Lavinia Weber (7 June 1892 – 6 March 1976) was an Australian politician.

Born at Captains Flat in New South Wales to schoolteacher John Filshie and his wife Elizabeth Seaman, she was educated at the local schools, eventually becoming a physical culturist and organiser. On 11 December 1915 in Sydney she married Thomas Mitchell, a stock and station agent, with whom she had one son. They moved to Melbourne, but Thomas was killed in World War I in 1917. She married her second husband, fellow physical culturist Clarence Weber, on 7 March 1919; they had one son and two daughters.

Following her husband's death in 1930, she experimented with several occupations, including as a lecturer on health and diet and a Country Party organiser. In 1937, she was elected to the Victorian Legislative Assembly for Nunawading, as an independent. She generally supported Country Party Premier Albert Dunstan in the Assembly. She resigned from the Assembly in 1943 to contest the federal seat of Henty in the election of that year; she came fifth in a field of six candidates with 3.9% of the vote, and the seat was won by another independent, Arthur Coles.

Weber contested Box Hill unsuccessfully in 1945 and held various positions subsequently; in 1943 she had been president of the Victorian section of Women for Canberra. From 1950 to 1952 she was organising secretary for the women's section of the Victorian Country Party. After an unsuccessful stint as a guest house operator, she organised for Blind Babies Homes in 1955 and then became organising secretary of the Australian Women's Movement against Socialism. She died in 1976 at Camberwell, and was cremated at Springvale Crematorium.

She was the first woman elected at a general election in Victoria (Millie Peacock had previously won the seat of Allandale at a by-election), and the first woman in Australia to win a seat as an independent.

Awards
Weber was inducted into the Victorian Honour Roll of Women in 2001.

(8770) Totanus ist ein im äußeren Hauptgürtel gelegener Asteroid, der am 30. September 1973 von dem niederländischen Astronomenehepaar Cornelis Johannes van Houten und Ingrid van Houten-Groeneveld entdeckt wurde. Die Entdeckung geschah im Rahmen der 2. Trojaner-Durchmusterung, bei der von Tom Gehrels mit dem 120-cm-Oschin-Schmidt-Teleskop des Palomar-Observatoriums aufgenommene Feldplatten an der Universität Leiden durchmustert wurden, 13 Jahre nach Beginn des Palomar-Leiden-Surveys.

Der mittlere Durchmesser des Asteroiden wurde mit 15,335 (±0,375) km berechnet, die Albedo mit 0,062 (±0,015). Die Rotationsperiode von (8770) Totanus wurde 2009 und 2020 von Brian D. Warner sowie 2018 von Jofes Ďurech und Josef Hanuš untersucht. Die Lichtkurven reichten jedoch nicht zu einer Bestimmung aus.

Der Asteroid gehört zur Themis-Familie, einer Gruppe von Asteroiden, die nach (24) Themis benannt wurde. Die zeitlosen (nichtoskulierenden) Bahnelemente von (8770) Totanus sind fast identisch mit denjenigen von 19 kleineren Asteroiden, zum Beispiel (24880) 1996 OP, (71372) 2000 AS139 und (84902) Porrentruy.

(8770) Totanus ist nach dem Rotschenkel benannt, dessen wissenschaftlicher Name Tringa totanus lautet. Zum Zeitpunkt der Benennung des Asteroiden am 2. Februar 1999 war der Bestand des Rotschenkels in den Niederlanden gefährdet.

GeForce FX — пятое поколение графических процессоров семейства GeForce, разработанное и выпущенное компанией NVIDIA в 2003—2004 годах.

История
Первая модель NVIDIA пятой серии — GeForce FX 5800, относилась к High-End классу. В то время не было никаких продуктов GeForce FX для других сегментов рынка. GeForce 4 MX продолжали занимать бюджетный сегмент, а более старые карты GeForce 4 Ti занимали средний.

В апреле 2003 года NVIDIA ввела GeForce FX 5600 и GeForce FX 5200, чтобы заполнить другие сегменты рынка. У всех видеокарт был «Ultra»-вариант и менее производительный, экономный вариант, и все они использовали двухслотовую систему охлаждения. GeForce FX 5600 Ultra была весьма производительной, но она была медленнее карты конкурента — ATI Radeon 9600 Pro и иногда медленнее, чем ряд GeForce 4 Ti.

В мае 2003 года NVIDIA запустила GeForce FX 5900 Ultra, новый продукт High-End класса, чтобы заменить неудачную GeForce FX 5800. Новинка была основана на модернизированном GPU под названием NV35, в котором исправили некоторые недостатки Direct3D 9.0b Этот продукт был более конкурентноспособен по отношению к Radeon 9700 и 9800. В дополнение к перепроектированию частей GPU NVIDIA заменила 128-битную шину данных памяти на 256-битную, обеспечивающую значительно более высокую пропускную способность памяти, чем у FX 5800. GeForce FX 5900 Ultra немного превосходил Radeon 9800 Pro в играх с использованием модели Shader Model 2.0a и имел более тихую систему охлаждения, чем FX 5800.

В октябре 2003 года NVIDIA выпустила GeForce FX 5700 и GeForce FX 5950. GeForce FX 5700 относилась к средней ценовой категории и использовала чип NV36, в то время как GeForce FX 5950 была самой дорогой. Она также основана на чипе NV35, но с повышенными тактовыми частотами. GeForce FX 5950 также имела перепроектированную версию кулера 5800 FlowFX, более крупного, благодаря чему система охлаждения была тише. GeForce FX 5700 составили конкуренцию Radeon 9600 XT в играх, ограниченных легким использованием Shader Model 2.0a, GeForce FX 5950 конкурировали с Radeon 9800 XT.

В декабре 2003 года NVIDIA выпустила GeForce FX 5900XT, видеокарта предназначалась для среднего сегмента. Она была похожа на GeForce FX 5900 Ultra, но оснащалась медленной памятью DDR. Она конкурировала с Radeon 9600 XT, но была все ещё позади в нескольких интенсивных шейдерных сценариях.

Многие модели линейки GeForce FX получили интерфейс PCI Express в начале 2004 года, включая PCX 5300, PCX 5750, PCX 5900 и PCX 5950. Эти карты ничем не отличались от своих предшественников с AGP-интерфейсом.

Также в 2004 году вышли GeForce FX 5200 / 5300, использовавшие чип NV34, на котором базировались видеокарты GeForce FX 5500.

Шейдеры

Используемая версия шейдеров DirectX Shader Model 2.0a преподносилась компанией как прорыв в область кинематографичных эффектов. Однако производительность шейдеров оказалась низкой, по сравнению с линейкой конкурентов (ATI R300), но при соответствующей оптимизации вполне удовлетворительна для игроков.

Первоначально выпущенный чип NV30 обладал очень низкой производительностью в вычислениях одинарной точности. NVIDIA призывала разработчиков использовать половинную точность и включала в драйвера оптимизации заменяющие вычисления одинарной точности на вычисления с половинной точностью.

Выпущенный позже NV35 обладал гораздо лучшей производительностью в расчётах одинарной точности, чем NV30.

Некоторые компании, такие как Valve, отказались от Shader Model 2.x на NV30 и использовали Shader Model 1.х для них в Half-Life 2. Архитектура чипов NVIDIA была хорошо оптимизирована для отображения теней, что давало хорошее преимущество по сравнению с конкурентом — ATI R300. Это хорошо проявилось в игре Doom 3, в которой продукция Nvidia смогла выглядеть конкурентоспособной.

Der China Cup ist ein chinesisches Fußball-Einladungsturnier mit vier Mannschaften. Es wurde 2017 erstmals ausgerichtet und jährlich bis 2019 ausgetragen. Der Ausspielungsmodus basiert auf dem K.-o.-System beginnend mit einem Halbfinale sowie mit einem Finale und einem Spiel um Platz 3. Erfolgreichster Teilnehmer ist die uruguayische Nationalmannschaft mit insgesamt zwei Titeln bei zwei Teilnahmen. Sie ist auch der amtierende Titelträger.

Geschichte
Im Sommer 2016 teilte die Wanda Group mit, dass auf ihre Initiative hin im Januar 2017 die erste Auflage des China Cups als Einladungsturnier mit vier Nationalmannschaften stattfinden werde. Es wurde zudem auf den Plan hingewiesen, die Zahl der Teilnehmerländer perspektivisch auf acht Nationen zu erhöhen.

2017
Die Paarungen der Debütveranstaltung standen im Dezember 2016 fest. Sie waren auf den 10. und 11. sowie den 14. und 15. Januar terminiert.

Im Auftaktspiel setzte sich Island mit 2:0 gegen den Gastgeber China durch. Im anderen Halbfinale zwischen Kroatien und Chile fiel die Entscheidung nach der regulären Spielzeit, die mit 1:1 endete. Im Elfmeterschießen triumphierten die Südamerikaner mit 4:1.

Im Spiel um Platz 3 erzielte der chinesische Einwechselspieler Wang Jingbin in der 89. Spielminute und mit seinem zweiten Ballkontakt den Ausgleich zum 1:1. Im folgenden Elfmeterschießen setzten sich die Chinesen mit 4:3 durch. Im Finale reichte Chile ein Tor in der 18. Minute, um die isländische Nationalmannschaft zu besiegen und erster Sieger des China Cups zu werden.

2018
Im November 2017 stand fest, welche vier Teams zwischen dem 19. und 27. März 2018 die zweite Auflage des China Cups ausspielen.

Im ersten Halbfinale feierte Wales einen 6:0-Kantersieg gegen die chinesische Fußballnationalmannschaft. In der anderen Partie verlor Tschechien mit 0:2 gegen Uruguay. Im Spiel um den dritten Platz ging China zwar mit 1:0 in Führung, am Ende gewann aber Tschechien klar mit 4:1, so dass Gastgeber China im Vergleich zur Erstauflage in der Endabrechnung einen Rang verlor.

Im Finale setzte sich Uruguay mit 1:0 gegen Wales durch.

2019
Bei der dritten Auflage 2019 verlor China mit 0:1 die Auftaktpartie gegen Thailand, und Uruguay setzte sich mit 3:0 gegen Usbekistan durch. Im Spiel um Platz 3 verlor China erneut mit 0:1, so dass die Platzierung des Vorjahres wiederholt wurde. Durch einen 4:0-Sieg gegen Thailand erreichte auch die Nationalmannschaft Uruguays den Rang des Vorjahres. Mit der Partie wurde Verteidiger Diego Godín zudem alleiniger Rekordnationalspieler Uruguays.

El brazo de Mercedes es un dulce de merengue enrollado, relleno de crema pastelera y espolvoreado con azúcar glas, típico de Filipinas, en particular de los pueblos tagalos, batangueños y pampangueños. Se deriva del brazo de gitano español y un tipo de pianono.

Origen
El postre se remonta a la época colonial española. El nombre original de este plato en el extinto español filipino era «brazo de Nuestra Señora de las Mercedes», un título devocional común para María, madre de Jesús. Los españoles introdujeron el gusto por el dulce, el azúcar (asukal en filipino) y el concepto de postre. Además, la mayoría de postres filipinos tienen un origen español, como la ensaymada, el alfajor o el flan.

El postre se cree que surgió, como muchos otros filipinos, como forma de reutilizar las yemas de huevo sobrantes del material de construcción de edificios, ya que las claras se usaban para mortero y yeso en la arquitectura colonial hispano-filipina.

Descripción
A diferencia de otros tipos de pianonos filipinos que se hacen con masa de chifón o de bizcochos, el brazo de Mercedes está hecho de merengue y, por lo tanto, no usa harina. El merengue se hace con claras de huevo, crémor tártaro y azúcar en grano, y el relleno es una crema de natilla o pastelera elaborada con yemas de huevo, azúcar y leche cocidas a fuego lento en baño maría. Otros ingredientes como ralladura de calamansi, mantequilla y extracto de vainilla. Una vez que se hornea el merengue, la crema pastelera se extiende uniformemente sobre una superficie y luego se enrolla con cuidado en un cilindro. Finalmente, se deja enfriar y se espolvorea con azúcar glas antes de servirse.

Variantes
Una variante tradicional es el brazo dela Reina, un brazo de Mercedes que incluye nueces picadas o molidas en el relleno o espolvoreadas por encima. Las versiones modernas del postre pueden tener una variedad de rellenos e ingredientes diferentes. Estas variaciones suelen tener diferentes nombres, como brazo de ube, brazo de pandán, brazo de buko pandan, brazo de tsokolate, brazo de mangga, etc.

Oxnard Field (also known at various times as Albuquerque Airport and Albuquerque Army Air Field) was the first airport in Albuquerque, New Mexico. It served as the home of commercial aviation in Albuquerque from 1928 to 1929 and remained in use for other purposes until 1948. The field was located on Albuquerque's East Mesa, east of the present site of Albuquerque International Sunport.

History
The field was originally constructed in 1928 by Santa Fe Railroad workers Frank G. Speakman and William Langford Franklin, using grading equipment loaned by the city after hours. Working with the town of Albuquerque, they graded two runways on the East Mesa—one approximately  long and the other just under . The venture became Albuquerque Airport. Other individuals and promoters soon became interested in Albuquerque as a crossroads location for southwestern air traffic.

James G. Oxnard, a New York entrepreneur, bought out Franklin's share in the airport soon after it was completed and renamed it Oxnard Field. Oxnard expanded the facility to , adding an administration building and other facilities.

In its brief stint as the city's main airport, Oxnard Field was served by two competing airlines, Western Air Express (WAE) and Transcontinental Air Transport (TAT). However, the proximity of the field to the Sandia Mountains made pilots uneasy, and Western Air Express built a new facility, West Mesa Airport, in 1929. Following the merger of TAT and WAE to form Transcontinental and Western Air (TWA), all commercial air service shifted to West Mesa. This airport became known as Albuquerque Airport—while the former Albuquerque Airport on the East Mesa took on the name Oxnard Field, continuing as a private venture.

The onset of World War II brought new activity to Oxnard Field. By 1939, Army and Navy pilots had begun using Oxnard Field for refuelling and maintenance.   The Army eventually bought the Oxnard Field property and its subsequent transfer to the federal government on April 3, 1942 restricted the runways to military use only. The Army established a training depot for aircraft mechanics near Oxnard Field. An Army Air Forces Air Depot Training Station was established in June, and shortly thereafter the airport was designated Albuquerque Army Air Field. Two new runways and a variety of other facilities were built during this period.

By 1943, however, the mechanics' training program had ended and the depot was used as a convalescent center for wounded air crewmen and then as a storage and dismantling facility for war-weary and surplus aircraft as the war ended. Over 2,000 such planes were stripped and melted down, reclaiming some 10 million pounds of aluminum.

The field was used for the last time between 1945 and 1948, when it served as the final destination for hundreds of surplus warplanes which were assembled there for scrapping. Following the end of this operation, the airport was closed permanently.

Facilities
The airport initially had two dirt runways, east-west (4300 ft) and northeast-southwest (2500 ft). The only facilities consisted of gravity-fed fuel tanks. Oxnard added the administration building, a hangar, and a  beacon. The Airport Inn was a popular dining establishment. The airport reached its final configuration during the war, when the north-south and northwest-southeast runways were added.

Oxnard Field today
The former airport is now part of Kirtland Air Force Base, and new development has covered most of it. However, part of the northeast-southwest runway remains visible and the former administration building and hangar are still standing. Another legacy of Oxnard Field is the major streets Wyoming Boulevard and Ridgecrest Drive, both of which were originally developed as airport access roads.

Caroline Leaf (* 12. August 1946 in Seattle) ist eine amerikanisch-kanadische Animatorin und Malerin, die in London lebt und arbeitet.

Leben
Leaf studierte von 1964 bis 1968 Malerei am Radcliffe College und wurde 1969 von einem Lehrer an Derek Lamb empfohlen, der an der unweit gelegenen Harvard University unterrichtete. In seinem Kurs schuf sie bis 1969 ihren Debütfilm, die Sandanimation Sand or Peter and the Wolf. In ihrem nächsten Animationsfilm Orfeo experimentierte Leaf zum ersten Mal mit Farbe direkt auf Glas.

Sie erhielt 1972 eine Stelle am National Film Board of Canada (englischsprachige Abteilung) und zog nach Montreal. Ihr erster Film am NFB wurde 1974 The Owl Who Married a Goose, der auf einer Sage der Inuit beruht und als Teil der Reihe An Eskimo Legend erschien. Der Film wurde mehrfach ausgezeichnet und erhielt unter anderem eine BAFTA-Nominierung. Ihr zweiter Film The Street (1976) entstand als Öl-auf-Glas-Animation. Der auf einer Kurzgeschichte von Mordecai Richler beruhende Film um den Tod einer Großmutter aus der Sicht ihres Enkels wurde 1977 für einen Oscar als bester animierter Kurzfilm nominiert. Leafs Werke wurden in unterschiedlichsten Animationstechniken realisiert, so entstand ihr Kurzfilm Two Sisters (1990), indem sie die Zeichnungen direkt auf den Filmstreifen ätzte, während die Kafka-Interpretation The Metamorphosis of Mr. Samsa erneut in Sand animiert wurde. Neben ihrer Arbeit als Animationsfilmerin schuf Leaf zudem einige wenige Werbefilme für Pascal Blais Productions.

Leaf verließ das NFB 1991 und wandte sich danach unter anderem der Malerei zu. Leaf war von 1996 bis 1998 Dozent für Animation in Harvard. Im Jahr 2001 zog sie nach London und lehrte von 2005 bis 2009 Animation an der National Film and Television School in Beaconsfield bei London.

Символами Македонії є національні символи держави та народу. До національних символів належать національний прапор, герб, гімн та національні етнічні символи, що представляли і символізували народ протягом століть.

Державний прапор

Прапор Македонії - офіційний прапор на території країни, прийнятий у 1995 році, коли був змінений старий македонський прапор. Прапор складається з червоного тла із золотим сонцем. Сонце має вісім сонячних променів, що простягаються від сонячного диска до країв прапора. Сонячні промені перетинаються по діагоналі, горизонталі та вертикалі. Діаметр сонячного диска становить одну сьому довжину прапора. Центр сонця збігається з точкою, де перетинаються діагоналі прапора. Співвідношення ширини та довжини прапора - один до двох.

Етнічний прапор

«Кутльська зірка», «Катлеське сонце» або навіть «Аргеадська зірка» - так називають символ стилізованої зірки або сонця з шістнадцятьма променями. Він був розкопаний в 1977 році під час археологічних розкопок у Кутлесі, в північній грецькій провінції Македонія, професором Манолісом Андронікосом. Він відкрив сонце золотої ларнакси в могилах царів стародавнього царства Македонія.

Зірка з Кутлеса - символ, який використовують македонці. Це сонце з 16 кінцями є багатовіковим символом македонського народу, країни та культури. У 1977 році в селі Кутлес його розкопали на археологічному об'єкті, і після назви села Кутлес сьогодні його називають символом. У гробниці, яку виявили, була знайдена золота платівка, на якій вигравірувано сонце. Сьогодні знайдена дошка зберігається в музеї в Катлесі, Біломорська Македонія. Зірка використовувалася у Македонському царстві та в Республіці Македонія з 1991 по 1995 рік, коли прапор був примусово змінений на діючий македонський прапор. Сьогоднішній національний прапор Македонії - це скорочена стилізована версія Кутльської зірки з вісьмома раменами замість шістнадцяти.

Крім Зірки, в якості етнічного прапора використовується золотий лев на червоному тлі.

Історичні прапори

Національний гімн

"Сьогодні над Македонією" - державний гімн Македонії . Автор тексту - Владо Малеський, а автор музики - Тодор Скаловський. Він був написаний в 1941 році . Після закінчення Другої світової війни він був прийнятий як гімн СР Македонії в межах колишньої Югославії, а в 1992 році був оголошений законом гімном незалежної Македонії.

З часом текст гімну зазнав різних змін, із відомих сьогодні трьох версій - поточної версії, оригінального гімну та першого офіційного гімну, який відрізняється від першого лише одним рядком. Щодо оригінального тексту 1941 року імена Ніколи Карева та Димитра Влахова опущені, а ім'я Даме Груєва додано.

Державний герб

Герб Македонії є офіційним гербом країни. Герб, що використовується з невеликими змінами з 27 липня 1946 року, коли був замінений герб Народної Республіки Македонія, та 16 листопада 2009 року червона зірка з герба була знята. Македонський герб є одним із двох в Європі, які все ще мають соціалістичний стиль і мають пейзажний, а не історичний характер. Інший герб у пейзажному стилі - це герб Білорусі. За всіма міжнародними та національними геральдичними стандартами, це не герб, а емблема, але, незважаючи на те, що це емблема, закон Македонії називає його гербом.

Етнічні герби

Македонський лев, як і македонська зірка з Кутлеса, є ще одним символом македонського народу, культури та традицій, якого в народі називають левом. Разом із Зіркою вони є одними з найдавніших символів у Європі, що використовуються донині. Колись леви мешкали на території Македонії, що підтверджується давніми істориками та викопними знахідками з околиць Дельчево. Полювання на левів було популярним серед македонців, і в результаті було знайдено велику кількість мозаїк та картин із сценами полювання на левів.

USS Newman (DE-205/APD-59) was a  in service with the United States Navy from 1943 to 1946. She was scrapped in 1966.

History
Newman was named in honor of Laxton Gail Newman (1916–1941), who was killed in action during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941. He was posthumously awarded the Purple Heart for his actions. The ship was laid down by the Charleston Navy Yard on 8 June 1943; launched on 9 August 1943; sponsored by Mrs. J. B. Newman, mother of L. G. Newman AD3; and commissioned on 26 November 1943.

Following shakedown off Bermuda, Newman was assigned transatlantic escort duty.  Between 11 February and 29 June 1944, she crossed the ocean six times. On 30 June, at Tompkinsville, Staten Island Naval Base, she commenced conversion to a Charles Lawrence-class high speed transport, reporting for shakedown in Chesapeake Bay as APD-59 on 19 September.

At the end of the month she departed Norfolk, Virginia, as flagship of TransDiv 103, and headed for the Pacific.  Arriving at Hollandia on 4 November, she escorted supply convoys between that port and Leyte Gulf until 12 December. Then, at Leyte, she embarked troops of the 24th Division and got underway for her first amphibious operation, the 15 December invasion of Mindoro. Landing her troops with the first waves, she turned back to Leyte, then proceeded to New Guinea to prepare for the initial operations of 1945.

At Noemfoor, she took on troops of the 158th Regimental Combat Team and proceeded back to the Philippines.  On the 11th, two days after the initial invasion of Luzon, she landed her troops on the Lingayen beaches under the cover of naval shore bombardment, then provided gunfire support until retiring to escort a convoy back to Leyte, arriving on 15 January.  Assignments to amphibious landings, and their support, now increased as the momentum of the war in the Philippines picked up. On 29 January, she participated in landings at San Felipe, Luzon; on the 30th, on Grande Island in Subic Bay; on 28 February at Puerto Princesa, Palawan; on 10 March at Zamboanga, Mindanao; on 26 March at Talisay, Cebu; and on 17 April at Parang, Mindanao.  In May, she shifted to Morotai and in June and July participated in landings in Borneo at Brunei Bay on 10 June, and Balikpapan on 1 July.

On 16 July, she departed the East Indies to return to the Philippines, arriving Leyte the 18th and to Legaspi, Luzon, on the 27th, where she conducted training exercises for combat teams until the end of the war. On 29 August, she steamed to Okinawa, embarked units of the 24th Corps, Army Service Command for transportation to Jinsen, Korea. On 8 September, she landed the occupation forces at Jinsen and then commenced escort duty between Jinsen, Taku and the Philippines. On 26 November, she departed the Far East en route to New York.

Arriving there on 9 January 1946, she steamed south to Green Cove Springs, Florida, joining the 16th (Inactive) Fleet on 18 February.  Later berthed at Orange, Texas, Newman remained a unit of the Atlantic Reserve Fleet until struck from the Navy List in 1964.  On 15 August 1966 her hulk was sold for scrapping to the Boston Metals Company, Baltimore, Maryland.

Awards
Newman earned five battle stars during World War II.

Russische Federatie

Een groot aantal autonome republieken kunnen worden gevonden binnen de staten van de voormalige Sovjet-Unie, waarvan de meerderheid echter in de Russische Federatie is gelegen. Vele van deze republieken werden gedurende de Sovjet-periode gesticht als autonome socialistische sovjetrepubliek.

Joegoslavië

De Socialistische Federale Republiek Joegoslavië (1943–1992) was formeel een federatie van zes socialistische republieken. Binnen de grootste van deze deelrepublieken, Servië, waren twee autonome provincies. De federale hoofdstad was Belgrado.
