Iran Aseman Airlines

Iran Aseman Airlines is the third-largest Iranian airline headquartered in Tehran. It operates scheduled domestic passenger services and regional international services.

History
The airline was established and started operating in 1980. The airline's historic links go back to 1958 to the airline Air Taxi Co., which was rebranded as Pars Air in the 1970s and later as Iran Aseman Airlines. In March 2007, it was owned by Iranian Civil Pension Fund Investment Company and had 298 employees. It has since been privatized.

The logo of Aseman Airlines is navy blue and is inspired by a flying Crane (Dorna). In August 2014, Iran Aseman Airlines made changed the combination of its logo and livery to the current version. The design was prepared by a designer from Mashhad named Saeed Khosrovan, and was soon implemented on all aircraft operated by the airline.

In July 2016, the CEO of the airline was issued an arrest warrant because of an alleged sum of approximately $37 million in public debts to Iran Airports & Air Navigation Company.

In February 2017, it emerged that Aseman Airlines was in talks with an Irish firm to lease seven Airbus A320neos. In April 2017, the airline signed a Memorandum of Agreement with Boeing for the purchase of 30 Boeing 737 MAX aircraft with options for another 30 aircraft. In June 2017, Iran Aseman Airlines signed a final deal to buy 30 Boeing 737 MAX jets. In June 2018, Boeing announced it would not be able to deliver any aircraft to Iranian airlines due to the US's sanctions against Iran.

On 13 January 2019, the airline operated the last Boeing 727 commercial passenger flight worldwide.

The airline is currently banned from operating in the airspace of the European Union for "failing to meet [safety-related] regulatory oversight standards of the EU".

Current fleet
As of April 2023, Iran Aseman Airlines operates the following fleet:

Accidents and incidents

 * On 4 October 1990, an Iran Aseman Fokker F27 Friendship (registration EP-ANA) overran the runway upon landing at Ramsar Airport and came to rest at a concrete wall 100 metres behind the runway. There were no fatalities among the 46 passengers and four crew members on board, and the aircraft was fully repaired.
 * On 12 October 1994, Iran Aseman Airlines Flight 746, a Fokker F28 Fellowship (registration EP-PAV) en route from Isfahan to Tehran suffered a sudden loss of power in both engines at 23:05 local time, 35 minutes after take-off from Isfahan International Airport. The aircraft spiraled into an uncontrolled descent and crashed near Natanz, killing all 59 passengers and seven crew members on board.
 * On 18 July 2000, Iran Aseman Airlines Flight 775, a Fokker F28 Fellowship (registration EP-PAU) en route from Tehran to Ahvaz, was damaged beyond repair when the pilot missed the runway upon a low-visibility landing attempt at Ahvaz Airport and instead touched down next to it. A successful go-around was executed, and there were no injuries among the 84 passengers and four crew members on board.
 * On 26 August 2010, a Fokker 100 (registration EP-ASL) operating Iran Aseman Airlines Flight 773 from Tehran to Tabriz overran the runway upon landing at Tabriz International Airport and was substantially damaged when it plunged into a canal. Two out of the 103 passengers on board were injured, while none of the seven crew members were hurt.
 * On 10 May 2014, a Fokker 100 (registration EP-ASZ), was damaged in a landing accident at Zahedan Airport (ZAH), Iran. The airplane operated Flight 853 from Mashhad Airport (MHD). According to local media, the left-hand main undercarriage failed to extend or lock prior to landing. A forced landing was carried out on runway 35. The airplane swerved to the left and came to rest 1450 meters (4760 feet) past the runway 35 threshold and 23 meters (75 feet) to the left of the centreline.
 * On 18 February 2018, Iran Aseman Airlines Flight 3704, an ATR 72-200 (registration EP-ATS) flying from Tehran to Yasuj, crashed into the Zagros Mountains, south of Isfahan after it disappeared from radar, 50 minutes after taking off from Mehrabad Airport. All 66 people (60 passengers and six crew) were killed.

Talk:Yiddish theatre

State of Yiddish theatre today
Writing that Yiddish theatre "thrives" in Israel creates a wrong impression. Yiddish theatre survives in Israel, just barely, and probably thanks to the relatively recent influx of Yiddish-speaking Russian immigrants. The documentary film The Kommediant paints a picture of Israel in the 1950's as being positively hostile towards Yiddish-language theatre. One commentator on IMDB finds this to be an exaggeration: I tend to believe the film. I studied theatre at Tel-Aviv University for three years, and during this time heard not one word about Yiddish plays or Yiddish theatre outside of a seminar on the history of directing, taught by an American-born lecturer. "The Dybbuk" of course couldn't be ignored, but I honestly didn't even know what language it had originally been written in before looking it up for the wikipedia article. --Woggly 11:07, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Woggly. I was thinking of killing that remark, since it struck me as unlikely, but never even having been to Israel myself I wasn't sure I had an accurate assessment of the situation myself.
 * I would never have known that Yiddish theater was somewhat alive in Bucharest if I hadn't been there. Does anyone know if there are other places in Europe where Yiddish theater is currently performed on any regular basis? -- Jmabel | Talk 19:17, Dec 16, 2004 (UTC)

Do any of the early operettas survive?
Cut from article:
 * Our knowledge of the actual material of the early years of Yiddish theatre is very limited. In particular, according to Lulla Rosenfeld, none of the elaborate operettas that were the most popular plays in the first decades of Yiddish theater survive; not even Abraham Goldfaden's Shmendrik, a mainstay of Yiddish theater for fifty years. [Adler, 1999, 318 (commentary)]

I originally put that there, but I'm not sure I believe it. I know that the Foksbiene in New York as performed at least significant excerpts from Goldfaden operettas. Rosenfeld is a pretty good source, but this wouldn't be the first time I've seen her be wrong about something. Can anyone give an account of the degree to which 19th century Yiddish operettas survive? -- Jmabel | Talk 07:59, Feb 25, 2005 (UTC)

I intend to edit and make slight adjustments to this page. Under the initial heading I plan to add names and examples of specific playwrights. Along with these examples, I will contribute basic elements that identify Jewish theatre as its own entity, emphasizing the importance of music, ancestral ties, and nostalgic stories in Yiddish productions. Under the "Yiddish Theatre in London" I will amend slight bias shown toward Yiddish theatre in London, removing words like 'best.' Along with this change, I will add concrete details that tie the Jewish theatrical principles specifically to London. In the final section regarding the Americas, I would like to add information about Yiddish contributions to American theatre, especially Broadway, with musicals such as Fiddler on the Roof. I also will include more examples of major producers and playwrights from the Americas. I plan to pull all my edits from the source Nostalgia in Jewish-American Theatre and Film, 1979-2004 by Ben Furnish, Peter Lang Publishing 2005, and add this book to the references page. If anyone has any comments or advice about my editing and added content, I would appreciate the feedback. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kellan120400 (talk • contribs) 22:15, 19 November 2019 (UTC)

Recent Additions
Jmabel, you've been doing a wonderful job. But I'm begining to get the feeling that this article has lost the balance it used to have. The Bercovici source you cite seems to be mostly about origins and what you call the first golden age of Yiddish Theatre - ancient history. However there is still almost nothing about later history of Yiddish theatre, or Yiddish theatre in America. There should also probably be sections about Yiddish theatre and vaudeville, and Yiddish theatre and early film. And I think some highly significant writers have been overlooked, such as Itzik Manger. But I don't know enough about this topic to make the needed additions myself, and I won't have the time to look into it for the next year or so!! --Woggly 08:06, 16 Jan 2005 (UTC)

 * Yes, that later period needs to be written (as does the vaudeville stuff). I had an excellent source on the precursors and on the Goldfadenian period, and I believe I drew solidly on what I had. I am now reading Jacob Adler's memoir, which should bring the story forward the next step, at least the early years in New York. I or someone needs to continue beyond that. I'm by no means finished; I've been working on a bunch of related articles; I've got probably 12 more pages of handwritten notes from the Bercovici book that I haven't yet used appropriately (mostly elsewhere, I believe). And then there are other books to devour.

 * I suspect that eventually this will be refactored into more than one article. -- Jmabel | Talk 21:36, Jan 27, 2005 (UTC)

Any ideas how to integrate this?
In 1931, a commentator for the Bucharest daily Dimineaţa observed that the Yiddish theatre no longer depicts "the domestic and religious life of the Jews", as Mihai Eminescu had remarked in 1876, but now reflected "the tragic and comic intrigues of modern international life". [Dim., 17 April 1931, cited at Bercovici, 1998, 152]

If nothing else, I can put it in a future article on Joseph Buloff, whose troupe was the one being written about, but maybe it belongs here, too? -- Jmabel | Talk 21:36, Jan 27, 2005 (UTC)

nice article
Really thorough article. One thing it could use is a wikiquotes page link that had some quotes from Yiddish theatre. Other than that I'm stumped on what could make it better. Peace, --Urthogie 14:52, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

ITV (UK)
Wasn't ITV in the UK formed from Yiddish theaters? I'm sure Michael Grade's family helped found it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.23.219.228 (talk) 20:13, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

This article is not about cinema. Yiddish theater was on the decline as movies became increasingly important as entertainment. If you know something about Yiddish cinema, then start or add to the subject if you so desire. Cinema was always expensive enough that it was almost invariably done in the dominant language except for depiction of something meant to remain foreign.

Without question the Yiddish theater influenced entertainments in any country with a large Jewish population. The assimilation worked both ways -- with creative people from the Yiddish theater joining Gentile entertainment as creators (including performers)... and Gentile creative people learning from them. Radio, stage, and screen performers -- even those who are in no way Jewish, and performers of Jewish origin portraying Gentiles -- might have come under the influence of the creative people of the Yiddish theater without knowing of the influence. Ashkenazic influence on Anglo-American culture is extensive, powerful, and inseparable.

Yiddish performers in America, Britain, and Canada largely became English-language performers. Yiddish is similar enough to English that translation comes easily and without awkwardness. (German and Dutch are also close to Yiddish, but for obvious reasons the influence of Yiddish performers in Germany, Austria, and the Netherlands came to an abrupt end).Pbrower2a (talk) 03:31, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

Großenkneten

Großenkneten is a municipality in the district of Oldenburg, in Lower Saxony, Germany.

Geography
Großenkneten is one of the largest municipalities in Germany, in terms of its area, and is situated between the rivers Hunte and Lethe, in the landscape called Wildeshauser Geest. The place – consisting of the villages Huntlosen, Ahlhorn and Großenkneten – is still mostly agrarian, but is becoming more and more popular as a place of residence for commuters to Oldenburg.

Neighborhoods
Großenkneten is divided in 19 neighborhoods (Ortsteile), which are (with population of 2012): Ahlhorn (6.441), Amelhausen (120), Bakenhus (48), Bissel (319), Döhlen (461), Großenkneten (2.637), Hagel (32), Halenhorst (237), Haschenbrok (79), Hengstlage (136), Hespenbusch-Pallast (78), Hosüne (569), Huntlosen (1.831), Husum (60), Sage (623), Sage-Haast (290), Sannum (217), Steinloge (128) and Westrittrum (106).

History
In 1933 the municipality Huntlosen was incorporated into Großenkneten, giving it its current extent.

Between 1952 and 1957 Karl Poggensee and his association DAFRA (the precursor of the Hermann Oberth Society) operated a small launch site for experimental rockets close to the Hespenbusch farm. In 1957 the launch site was shifted to Cuxhaven as the site in Großenkneten had become too small.

The band Trio, formed in Großenkneten in 1979, had a hit in more than 30 countries with their song "Da Da Da" in 1982.

Notable places
Special recreational locations include several prehistoric tombs and the fish lakes of Ahlhorn. Originally built in the 1880s as a fish farm using the waters of the river Lethe, they have been a nature preserve since 1993. Of the 2 square kilometres of water around 1.2 square kilometres are still used for fish farming today.

Drop shipping

Drop shipping is a form of retail business in which the seller accepts customer orders without keeping stock on hand. Instead, in a form of supply chain management, the seller transfers the orders and their shipment details either to the manufacturer, a wholesaler, another retailer, or a fulfillment house, which then ships the goods directly to the customer.

The seller is responsible for marketing and selling the product, but has limited control over product quality, storage, inventory management, or shipping. By doing this, it eliminates the costs of maintaining warehouses – or even a storefront –   purchasing and storing inventory, and employing necessary staff for such functions. As in any other form of retail, the seller makes profit on the difference between an item's wholesale and retail price, less any pertinent selling, merchant, or shipping fees accruing against them.

Dropshipping has become a popular business model as it requires minimal initial investment and overhead costs. A dropshipping operation can be managed from any location with an internet connection. However, dropshipping also has its drawbacks, including lower profit margins, less control over the quality of the products sold and an increased risk of shipping delays or supply chain issues.

Amazon, the online shopping giant, found early success in a dropshipping business model where they could offer over a million different books to consumers while only keeping approximately 2000 in stock of the more popular titles. Publishers and wholesalers would receive forwarded orders from Amazon and would ship the products directly to the customer using packaging from Amazon.

Procedure
A drop shipping business to consumer model does not require a brick and mortar store. It may be eliminated entirely, or combined with a drop shipped order fulfillment business model. A physical retailer may keep potential drop shipped items on display, provide details on mail order items via a catalogue, or maintain a website with information available only online. A virtual retailer only has a website.

Drop shipping retailers are not required to disclose the practice, nor, as with any other retailer, the wholesale source of the products they offer. This can be achieved by "blind shipping" (shipping merchandise without a return address corresponding to the seller), "private label shipping" (having merchandise shipped from the wholesaler with a return address customised to the retailer), or utilising a fulfillment house. The ultimate order fulfiller might also include a customised packing slip, including details such as the retailer's company name, logo, and contact information.

In unusual circumstances drop shipping can occur when a small retailer (that typically sells in small quantities to the general public) receives a single large order for a product. The retailer may arrange for the goods to be shipped directly to the customer from the manufacturer or distributor.

Sellers on online auction sites such as eBay also use drop shipping as way of distributing products without stocking the items sold. A seller will list an item as new, and have purchased items shipped directly from the wholesaler to the customer. The seller's profit is the difference between the selling and the wholesale prices, minus any pertinent selling, merchant, or shipping fees accruing to them. However, some of the drop shipping methods used by sellers are not allowed under the eBay terms of service. This includes drop shipping methods in which a seller fulfills an order by purchasing the item from another online marketplace and having the item shipped to the customer. Sellers who use this method can be suspended from eBay.

Products may be listed by a drop shipping retailer as available but actually be back-ordered either with the wholesaler or the item's manufacturer. Such potential delays in order fulfilment are not always known, or even when known disclosed, by a seller. They also can be extended, beyond the control of the seller. Likewise order fulfilment and shipping delays are beyond the seller's control, yet can reflect badly on the purchaser's ultimate satisfaction with their transaction. This puts a premium on timely and accurate information provision by the seller on both sides of the purchase, both before and after it is made.

Economics
The economics of dropshipping can be complex and depends on a number of different factors such as cost of goods, handling and shipping fees, marketing and advertising expenses, profit margins and scale or efficiency.

Cost of goods is important as the markup from the wholesale price is the dropshipper's profit margin. Dropshippers do not physically handle their products thus, shipping and handling fees can vary depending on supplier and customer location. Suppliers may charge a flat rate or percentage of sales price impacting profit margins of the dropshipper. Furthermore, in order to attract customers, dropshippers invest in marketing and advertising campaigns such as social media ads, influencer partnerships and search engine optimization.

In China
With the ever growing relevancy of drop shipping, this business model has become increasingly popular with the rise of e-commerce platforms and the ease of global trade, from China especially. China is globally recognised as a manufacturing powerhouse, producing a vast array of products at competitive prices. This has made it a promising source for drop shippers whose interests require cost-effective and diverse products to sell in their online stores. Through establishing a partnership with Chinese suppliers, drop shippers can offer a wide range of products without the need to invest in inventory. In addition, China has extensive access to global markets which enables to drop shippers to continually expand their investments. China provides a well-established shipping and logistics infrastructure in place, enables efficient and cost-effective transportation of goods to customers worldwide, providing a crucial component for the success of the drop shipping model, as timely and reliable shipping is a key factor in customer satisfaction.

China's relation with the drop shipping business model is already well established with e-commerce platforms such as Alibaba and AliExpress which have facilitated the growth of drop shipping by supplying in a high demand marketplace for suppliers and drop shippers to connect. Subsequently with these platforms continually expanding, China has experienced exponential economic growth, leading to increased disposable income for its citizens. Moreover, internet penetration and smartphone adoption have also increased quite drastically. The combination of these factors have manifested an extensive domestic platform for e-commerce, supplying greater opportunities for drops shipping businesses to expand.

The Chinese government has established the significance of e-commerce and cross-border trade for the country's economic development. Subsequently, the Chinese Government have instilled policies, initiatives and regulations to aid and promote the market platform of e-commerce. A distinct example can be identified when the government established special economic zones and implemented tax incentives to encourage e-commerce and export-specific industries.

Scams
Drop shipping has also been a component of internet-based work-at-home schemes posted on social networking services. Scam artists will promote drop-shipping as a work-at-home scheme, in which victims will be sold a list of businesses from which drop shipment orders can be placed. These businesses may not be wholesalers, but other businesses or individuals acting as middlemen between retailers and wholesalers, with no product of their own to sell. These middlemen often charge prices that leave little profit margin for the victim and require a regular fee for use of their services. In 2019, the Gimlet Media podcast Reply All investigated the drop-shipping phenomenon, exploring the way drop shippers microtarget their client, but also found that micro-shipping itself is a rather dubious industry in that, despite the promises of some of the most well-known drop-shipping proponents, few drop shippers actually make any profits.

In 2016, Buzzfeed News published an article exposing unscrupulous drop-shippers in China, describing how customers were receiving products that were not as those were advertised, or not receiving any products at all.

One effect of drop-shipping scams is that customers who receive a drop-shipped package may realise that they overpaid for the item, return the item to the seller, then reorder the identical item directly from the manufacturer. The cost of processing the return and the loss of the unsalable returned product can result in significant losses to the drop shipper.

Talk:Sai Kung District

Sai Kung town
This article deals with the Sai Kung District. What about the Sai Kung town where the name of the district came from? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.61.119.110 (talk) 2004-12-16T11:17:10 (UTC)
 * Sai Kung Peninsula redirects to this article too.. but the peninsula and the district do not actually overlap. — Instantnood July 8, 2005 20:11 (UTC)

Touched up
Hope this page looks nicer now. Next task for me is to take a photo of Tseung Kwan O sometime (probably the view from my window :-p). TKO has 95% of Sai Kung District's population, so it's only fair that the article has a photo of urban TKO to balance all the photos of rural Sai Kung. Just so chaps don't form a wrong stereotype of life in our district :-p --Lapin rossignol 16:32, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Fifth largest district
This article has been saying since 2003-09-21 that the district is the 2nd largest, and since 2005-12-27 has had the clarification that this is in terms of area. But it never was. I wonder where that came from. :-)

Fixed.

It's quite remarkable to see how the page has developed since the two comments above were written, a decade and a half ago. The District, Town and Peninsula all have their own pages now, and the District page has a nice aerial photo of TKO New Town and the surrounding greenery. Thank you, fellow Wikipedians! Here's to the next decade and a half! — clacke (talk) 03:57, 10 March 2019 (UTC)

 * Very common problem of wikipedia. People just WP:OR the content without any real work on reading book to act as citation. It is in term of population or land area or land and sea area?

Hespenbusch

Hespenbusch is a farm, which belongs to the municipality of Grossenkneten. Karl Poggensee and the Hermann Oberth society (succeeded by the DAFRA, German work company for affairs of rocket) operated between 1952 and 1957 a launch site for small rockets with a maximum flight level of some kilometers, close to this farm. In 1957 the launch activities were shifted toward Cuxhaven, since the available area became too small.

Marbled cat

The marbled cat (Pardofelis marmorata) is a small wild cat native from the eastern Himalayas to Southeast Asia, where it inhabits forests up to an elevation of 2500 m. As it is present in a large range, it has been listed as Near Threatened on the IUCN Red List since 2015.

The marbled cat is closely related to the Asian golden cat (Catopuma temminckii) and the bay cat (C. badia), all of which diverged from other felids about 9.4 million years ago.

Characteristics
The marbled cat is similar in size to a domestic cat, but has rounded ears and a very long tail that is as long as the cat's head and body. The ground colour of its long fur varies from brownish-grey to ochreous brown above and greyish to buff below. It is patterned with black stripes on the short and round head, on the neck and back. On the tail, limbs and underbelly it has solid spots. On the flanks it has irregular dark-edged blotches that fuse to dark areas and look like a 'marbled' pattern. Its paws are webbed between the digits and are completely sheathed. Its coat is thick and soft. Spots on the forehead and crown merge into narrow longitudinal stripes on the neck, and irregular stripes on the back. The legs and underparts are patterned with black dots, and the tail is marked with black spots proximally and rings distally. It has large feet and unusually large canine teeth, resembling those of the big cats, although these appear to be the result of parallel evolution. Marbled cats range from 45 to 62 cm in head-body length with a 35 to 55 cm long and thickly furred tail that indicates the cat's adaptation to an arboreal lifestyle, where the tail is used as a counterbalance. Recorded weights vary between 2 and 5 kg.

Distribution and habitat
The marbled cat occurs along the eastern Himalayan foothills and in tropical Indomalaya eastward into southwest China, and on the islands of Sumatra and Borneo. It is primarily associated with moist and mixed deciduous-evergreen tropical forests. Its distribution in India is confined to the north-eastern forests.

In eastern Nepal, a marbled cat was recorded for the first time in January 2018, outside a protected area in the Kangchenjunga landscape at an altitude of 2750 m.

In northeast India, marbled cats were recorded in Eaglenest Wildlife Sanctuary, Dampa and Pakke Tiger Reserves, Balpakram-Baghmara landscape and Singchung-Bugun Village Community Reserve in Arunachal Pradesh between January 2013 and March 2018.

In Bhutan, it has been recorded in Royal Manas National Park, and in broadleaved and mixed conifer forests at elevations up to 3810 m in Jigme Dorji National Park and Wangchuck Centennial National Park.

In Thailand, it was recorded in a hill evergreen bamboo mixed forest in Phu Khieu Wildlife Sanctuary.

In Borneo, it has also been recorded in peat swamp forest. The population size of the marbled cat is not well understood. Few records were obtained during camera-trapping surveys throughout much of its range. In three areas in Sabah, the population density was estimated at 7.1 to 19.6 individuals per 100 km2, an estimate that may be higher than elsewhere in the cat's range. In Kalimantan, marbled cats were recorded in mixed swamp forest and tall interior forest at altitudes below 20 m in the vicinity of Sabangau National Park between 2008 and 2018.

Behaviour and ecology
Marbled cats recorded in northeastern India and Kalimantan on Borneo were active by day.

The first-ever radio-tracked marbled cat had an overall home range of 5.8 km2 at an elevation of 1000 to 1200 m and was active primarily during nocturnal and crepuscular times. Marbled cats recorded in northeast India were active during the day with activity peaks around noon.

Forest canopies probably provide the marbled cat with much of its prey: birds, squirrels and other rodents, and reptiles. In the Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park, a marbled cat was observed in a dense forest patch in an area also used by siamang. In Thailand, one individual has been observed in Phu Khieo Wildlife Sanctuary preying on a Phayre's leaf monkey.

A few marbled cats have been bred in captivity, with gestation estimated to be 66 to 82 days. In the few recorded instances, two kittens were born in each litter, and weighed from 61 to 85 g. Their eyes open at around 12 days, and the kittens begin to take solid food at two months, around the time that they begin actively climbing. Marbled cats reach sexual maturity at 21 or 22 months of age, and have lived for up to 12 years in captivity.

Threats
The primary threat to the marbled cat is loss and degradation of forest as it depends on large tracts of intact forest. Forest loss is continuing across its range due to logging and expansion of human settlements and agriculture. Indiscriminate snaring is prevalent throughout much of its range, and also likely poses a major threat. It is valued for its skin, meat, and bones, but infrequently observed in the illegal Asian wildlife trade. During a survey in the Lower Subansiri District of Arunachal Pradesh, a marbled cat was encountered that had been killed by a local hunter for a festival celebrated by the indigenous Apatani people in March and April every year. The dead cat was used in a ceremony, and its blood was sacrificed to the deity for goodwill of their family and for ensuring a good harvest, protection from wildlife, disease and pest.

Conservation
Pardofelis marmorata is included in CITES Appendix I and protected over parts of its range. Hunting is prohibited in Bangladesh, Cambodia, Yunnan, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, and Thailand. Hunting is regulated in Laos and Singapore. In Bhutan and Brunei, the marbled cat is not legally protected outside protected areas. No information about protection status is available from Cambodia and Vietnam.

Taxonomy
Felis marmorata was the scientific name proposed by William Charles Linnaeus Martin in 1836 for a skin of a male marbled cat from Java or Sumatra. Felis longicaudata proposed by Henri Marie Ducrotay de Blainville in 1843 was a zoological specimen from India or Cochinchina. Felis charltoni proposed by John Edward Gray in 1846 was a specimen from Darjeeling. The generic name Pardofelis was proposed by Nikolai Severtzov in 1858.

At present, two subspecies are recognized as valid:
 * P. marmorata marmorata (Martin, 1836) – from the Malay Peninsula to Sumatra and Borneo
 * P. marmorata longicaudata (Blainville, 1843) – from Nepal to north of the Isthmus of Kra

Phylogeny
The marbled cat was once considered to belong to the pantherine lineage of cats. But results of a phylogenetic analysis indicate that it forms an evolutionary lineage with the Asian golden cat (Catopuma temminckii) and the bay cat (C. badia) that genetically diverged about. The marbled cat diverged from this lineage about.

Pardofelis

Pardofelis is a genus of the cat family Felidae. This genus is defined as including one species native to Southeast Asia: the marbled cat. Two other species, formerly classified to this genus, now belong to the genus Catopuma.

The word pardofelis is composed of the Latin words pardus (pard), and felis (cat) in allusion to the spots of the type species, the marbled cat.

Taxonomic history
Pardofelis was first proposed by the Russian explorer and naturalist Nikolai Severtzov in 1858 as generic name comprising a single felid species occurring in tropical Asia, the marbled cat Pardofelis marmorata. The British zoologist Reginald Innes Pocock recognized the taxonomic classification of Pardofelis in 1917 as comprising not only the marbled cat but also the Borneo bay cat Pardofelis badia, because of similarities in the shape of their skulls. In 1939, he described Pardofelis marmorata on the basis of skins and skulls which originated in Java, Sumatra, Darjeeling and Sikkim.

Until 2006, the classification of Pardofelis as a monotypic genus was widely accepted. Genetic analysis carried out at the turn of the century revealed a close genetic relationship with the Borneo bay cat Pardofelis badia and the Asian golden cat Pardofelis temminckii. All of them diverged from the other felids about, and have therefore been proposed to be placed in the genus Pardofelis. Meanwhile, Pardofelis is considered a synonym of Catopuma.

The relationship between this branch and others on the feline family tree has also become clearer. Pardofelis species do not stem from the Pantherinae subfamily but belong to the other main branch of mostly smaller cat species, the Felinae. They share a more recent common ancestor with servals, caracals, and African golden cats than with any other existing cat genus.

Characteristics
Pardofelis are small long-tailed, short-headed cats with rounded ears, distinguishable from Prionailurus and related Oriental genera by having the skull higher and more rounded, with the mesopterygoid fossa lanceolate in front and provided with thickened margins or a better developed external crest. The skull is short, broad, strongly convex in dorsal profile, not comparatively long and low. The nasal branch of the premaxilla is thin, not expanded, the summit of the muzzle is not compressed above, the maxilla is not expanded where it abuts against the nasal bone, and develops no excrescence outside the suborbital foramen.

Braunlage

Braunlage is a town and health resort in the Goslar district of Lower Saxony in Germany. Situated within the Harz mountain range, south of the Brocken massif, Braunlage's main business is tourism, particularly skiing. Nearby ski resorts include the Sonnenberg and the slopes on the Wurmberg.

Geography
Braunlage is located on the Warme Bode, a headstream of the river Bode, close to the border with Elend in the state of Saxony-Anhalt. The municipal area stretches along the south-eastern rim of the Harz National Park from an elevation of 550 m up to 971 m at the summit of the Wurmberg. Other peaks in the vicinity include the Achtermannshöhe and the Hahnenklee Crags.

Districts
The town consists of three districts:
 * Braunlage proper
 * Hohegeiß*, incorporated on 1 July 1972
 * Sankt Andreasberg**, incorporated on 1 November 2011

* with the village of Königskrug

** with the villages of Sonnenberg, Oderhaus, Oderbrück, Oderberg, Odertaler Sägemühle and Silberhütte

Transportation
Braunlage is on the Bundesstraße B4 between Braunschweig and Nordhausen and the B27 from Blankenburg to Göttingen.

Local buses run between Braunlage and the nearby communities of Bad Harzburg, Sankt Andreasberg, Schierke, Wernigerode, Hohegeiß, Bad Sachsa, Nordhausen, Bad Lauterberg, Herzberg and Clausthal-Zellerfeld.

Braunlage used to be served by the South Harz Railway Company, which provided a link to the Harz Narrow Gauge Railways via Sorge, but service ceased in 1958.

History
First mentioned as Brunla in 1227, the town started out as a pit settlement in the Harz forests. It appeared as Brunenlo in a 1253 register of the Saxon counts of Regenstein and was revived when their successors, the Counts of Blankenburg, established an ironworks here in 1561. With the extinction of the Blankenburg dynasty in 1599 Braunlage fell to the Dukes of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel.

In the 17th century it was a small Brunswick market town in the west corner of the former Blankenburg lands. Tourism developed from the late 19th century onwards and other branches of business were forestry and a large granite quarry on the Wurmberg. Around 1910 one of the first interurban bus lines ran from Bad Harzburg up to Braunlage, served by Büssing vehicles. The Wurmberg Ski Jumps were erected in 1922 (demolished in 2014). In 1934 Braunlage received town privileges and municipal status as a health resort.

After World War II Braunlage was close to the fortified inner German border through the Harz mountains. In 1963 it became the location of the Wurmberg Gondola Lift, today with a length of 2.8 km and a height difference of 400 m to the summit station the longest in Northern Germany. On 7 May 1964 Gerhard Zucker demonstrated a flight of mail rockets on the Hasselkopf hill. One of them exploded, killing two spectators.

Since German reunification in 1990 Braunlage has again been in the centre of the Harz tourist region but it has had to cope with growing competition from the neighbouring resorts in Saxony-Anhalt.

Town council
Seats in the town council (Stadtrat) as of 2016 local elections:
 * Christian Democratic Union (CDU): 7
 * Bürgerliste (independent): 5
 * Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD): 4

Culture and sights
A museum of local history covers Braunlage's tradition as a health resort and official venue of the International Ski Federation (FIS). The townscape includes extensive spa gardens

Sports
The local ice-hockey team Harzer Wölfe is an important part of the north German ice-hockey culture.

There used to be several ski jumps on the Wurmberg, which hosted international competitions such as the FIS Ski Jumping Continental Cup until 2011. Between 2009 and 2012 the Braunlage Nude Sledging World Championships were held.

Sights
The Silberteich and the Hahnenkleeklippen on the way to Sankt Andreasberg are popular tourist destinations.

The Dicke Tannen is a protected landscape of giant spruce trees near Hohegeiß.

Balys Sruoga

Balys Sruoga (February 2, 1896 – October 16, 1947) was a Lithuanian poet, playwright, critic, and literary theorist.

Early life
He contributed to cultural journals from his early youth. His works were published by the liberal wing of the Lithuanian cultural movement, and also in various Lithuanian newspapers and other outlets (such as Aušrinė, Rygos naujienos etc.). In 1914, he began studying literature in Saint Petersburg, and later in Moscow, due to World War I and the Russian Revolution. In 1921, he enrolled in the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, where in 1924 he received his Ph.D for a doctoral thesis on Lithuanian folklore. Sruoga was also the first translator of Anna Akhmatova's poetry, which he likely completed between November 1916 and early 1917.

After returning to Lithuania, Sruoga taught at the University of Lithuania, and established a theater seminar that eventually became a course of study. He also wrote various articles on literature. From 1930 he began writing dramas, first Milžino paunksmė, later Radvila Perkūnas, Baisioji naktis and Aitvaras teisėjas. In 1939, he began teaching at Vilnius University. After the Soviet annexation of Lithuania, Sruoga wrote a pro Soviet cantata welcoming the new Soviet government.

The forest of the Gods
Sruoga's best known work is the novel Forest of the Gods, based on his own life experiences as a prisoner in Stutthof concentration camp in Sztutowo, Free City of Danzig now present-day Nowy Dwór Gdański County, Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland, where he was sent in March 1943 together with forty-seven other Lithuanian intellectuals after the Nazis started a campaign against possible anti-Nazi agitation in occupied Lithuania.

In the book, Sruoga revealed life in a concentration camp through the eyes of a man whose only way to save his life and maintain his dignity was to view everything through a veil of irony and humor, where torturers and their victims are exposed as imperfect human beings, being far removed from the false ideals of their political leaders. For example, he wrote "A man is not a machine. He gets tired.", referring to the guards beating prisoners.

Originally the novel was suppressed by the Soviet officials; it was ultimately published in 1957, ten years after the author's death.

In 2005, a movie with the same title as the book was released. The film Forest of the Gods became the most profitable film released after Lithuania restored its independence.

Later life
After the Soviets liberated the Nazi camps, Sruoga continued to be held in the same camp. However, in 1945, he returned to Vilnius and continued teaching at Vilnius University, where he wrote the dramas Pajūrio kurortas and Barbora Radvilaitė.

The authorities' refusal to publish Forest of The Gods and weak health resulting from his time in concentration camps led to his death in October 16, 1947. He succumbed during his return journey from Kaunas to Vilnius due to complications arising from a cold. The 2005 film Forest of the Gods was based on the book.
