안식일이 지나매 막달라 마리아와 야고보의 어머니 마리아와 또 살로메가 가서 예수께 바르기 위하여 향품을 사다 두었다가 2 안식 후 첫날 매우 일찌기 해 돋은 때에 그 무덤으로 가며 3 서로 말하되 누가 우리를 위하여 무덤 문에서 돌을 굴려 주리요 하더니 4 눈을 들어 본즉 돌이 벌써 굴려졌으니 그 돌이 심히 크더라 5 무덤에 들어가서 흰 옷을 입은 한 청년이 우편에 앉은 것을 보고 놀라매 6 청년이 이르되 놀라지 말라 너희가 십자가에 못 박히신 나사렛 예수를 찾는구나 그가 살아나셨고 여기 계시지 아니하니라 보라 그를 두었던 곳이니라 7 가서 그의 제자들과 베드로에게 이르기를 예수께서 너희보다 먼저 갈릴리로 가시나니 전에 너희에게 말씀하신대로 너희가 거기서 뵈오리라 하라 하는지라 8 여자들이 심히 놀라 떨며 나와 무덤에서 도망하고 무서워하여 아무에게 아무 말도 하지 못하더라 9 (예수께서 안식후 첫날 이른 아침에 살아나신 후 전에 일곱 귀신을 쫓아 내어 주신 막달라 마리아에게 먼저 보이시니 10 마리아가 가서 예수와 함께하던 사람들의 슬퍼하며 울고 있는 중에 이 일을 고하매 11 그들은 예수의 살으셨다는 것과 마리아에게 보이셨다는 것을 듣고도 믿지 아니하니라 12 그 후에 저희 중 두 사람이 걸어서 시골로 갈 때에 예수께서 다른 모양으로 저희에게 나타나시니 13 두 사람이 가서 남은 제자들에게 고하였으되 역시 믿지 아니하니라 14 그 후에 열 한 제자가 음식 먹을 때에 예수께서 저희에게 나타나사 저희의 믿음 없는 것과 마음이 완악한 것을 꾸짖으시니 이는 자기의 살아난 것을 본 자들의 말을 믿지 아니함일러라 15 또 가라사대 너희는 온 천하에 다니며 만민에게 복음을 전파하라 16 믿고 세례를 받는 사람은 구원을 얻을 것이요 믿지 않는 사람은 정죄를 받으리라 17 믿는 자들에게는 이런 표적이 따르리니 곧 저희가 내 이름으로 귀신을 쫓아 내며 새 방언을 말하며 18 뱀을 집으며 무슨 독을 마실찌라도 해를 받지 아니하며 병든 사람에게 손을 얹은즉 나으리라 하시더라 19 주 예수께서 말씀을 마치신 후에 하늘로 올리우사 하나님 우편에 앉으시니라 20 제자들이 나가 두루 전파할쌔 주께서 함께 역사하사 그 따르는 표적으로 말씀을 확실히 ���거하시니라) https://www.wordproject.org/bibles/kr/41/1.htm

Nampo Falls Amid US Airstrikes; North and South Korea Face Staggering Losses

In a pivotal moment on the Korean Peninsula, Nampo has fallen to South Korean forces, significantly aided by a series of devastating US airstrikes. The victory, however, comes at a heavy cost, with South Korea reporting the loss of another 25,000 infantry in the battle. The North has suffered tremendously, with casualties estimated at 500,000, marking a severe depletion of its military strength. As South Korean troops push closer to Seoul, now just 50km away, the region braces for further conflict.

Complicating the situation, the Chongjin uprising, initially a localized revolt, has gained momentum and is spreading towards Pyongyang, signaling deepening internal strife within North Korea. This unrest comes at a critical time, as North Korean and Soviet forces, fresh from their strategic capture of Incheon, advance towards Seoul, positioned 100km away. However, their progress is hampered by an unexpected obstacle: the landscape, heavily mined in anticipation of such a move, has turned against them, causing significant casualties among the advancing troops.

This series of events underscores the volatile and rapidly changing dynamics on the Korean Peninsula. With Nampo under South Korean control and internal uprisings challenging the North's stability, the conflict's outcome remains uncertain. The international community watches with bated breath as both sides regroup and reconsider their strategies amidst the chaos.

حين قصفت واشنطن موسكو.. وكادت تتسبب بحرب عالمية --- ما بين عامي 1950 و1953، عاش العالم على وقع أحداث الحرب الكورية التي اندلعت عقب غزو كوريا الشمالية، المدعومة من الاتحاد السوفيتي والصين، أراضي جارتها الجنوبية. وقد استمرت هذه الحرب لأكثر من 3 سنوات مسفرة عن وقوع ما يزيد عن مليوني قتيل. وبينما دعمت موسكو وبكين بيونغ يانغ بالعتاد والمتطوعين، اتجهت واشنطن وحلفاؤها للتدخل بشكل مباشر بهذه الحرب عن طريق إرسال مئات الآلاف من الجنود. ففي خضم هذه الحرب، تناقلت وسائل الإعلام العالمية عام 1950 وقائع حادثة فريدة من نوعها. فبدون قصد، خرقت الطائرات الأميركية المجال الجوي السوفيتي قبل أن توجه ضربة جوية لأحد المواقع العسكرية السوفيتية متسببة بذلك في تزايد حدة التوتر بين موسكو وواشنطن. قبل فترة سبقت بداية النزال الجوي بين طياري نورث أمريكان إف-86 سابر (North American F-86 Sabre) الأميركية وميغ 15 السوفيتية بسماء شبه الجزيرة الكورية، عاشت قاعدة سوخايا ريشكا (Sukhaya Rechka) الجوية السوفيتية على وقع حالة من الهدوء حيث مارس العاملون بهذه القاعدة الجوية إجراءات روتينية لحدود يوم 8 تشرين الأول/أكتوبر 1950. وعلى الرغم من تواجد قاعدتهم الجوية على بعد مئات الكيلومترات من ساحات القتال بشبه الجزيرة الكورية، لم يتوقع المسؤولون بسرب المقاتلات 82 السوفيتي، المتمركز بهذه القاعدة، تعرضهم لهجوم أميركي مباغت دون إعلان حرب.

فأثناء توجههم لقصف القاعدة الجوية الكورية الشمالية بشونغجين (Chongjin) بأقصى شمال كوريا الشمالية يوم 8 تشرين الأول/أكتوبر 1950، أخطأت طائرتان أميركيتان من نوع لوكهيد ب 80 (Lockheed P-80)، بسبب الضباب والسحب، هدفهما واتجهتا لخرق المجال الجوي السوفيتي قبل أن تجدا نفسيهما بالقرب من قاعدة سوخايا ريشكا القريبة من فلاديفوستوك (Vladivostok). وأثناء تحليقهما بالقرب من القاعدة السوفيتية، احتار الطياران حول طبيعة موقع القصف حيث لم تكن قاعدة سوخايا ريشكا شبيهة بصور القاعدة الكورية الشمالية التي شاهدوها. وبالتزامن مع ذلك، لاحظ الطياران الأميركيان رموزا وطائرات شبيهة بتلك التي استخدمها الكوريون الشماليون لقصف كوريا الجنوبية. وأمام هذا الوضع، فضّل الطياران الأميركيان إلقاء قنابلهما على هذه القاعدة الجوية وتدميرها قبل مغادرة المكان. وعلى الرغم من عدم سقوط ضحايا، أسفرت عملية القصف عن تدمير ستة طائرات سوفيتية كان جلها من نوع بال ب 63 كينغ كوبرا (Bell P-63 Kingcobra)، الأميركية الأصل، التي حصل عليها السوفيت سابقا ضمن مساعدات عسكرية أميركية خلال الحرب العالمية الثانية. هذه الحادثة أثارت غضب موسكو التي لم تتردد في إعلان حالة الطوارئ تزامنا مع إرسالها عددا كبيرا من طائرات ميغ 15 نحو شرق البلاد. وبالأيام التالية، قدمت السلطات السوفيتية احتجاجا رسميا للأمم المتحدة أدانت من خلاله القصف الأميركي لمواقعها. مع سماعها لخبر الهجوم الخاطئ والاحتجاج السوفيتي، سارعت الإدارة الأميركية بفتح تحقيق بالحادثة. وبالفترة التالية، أكد الأميركيون على حصول خطأ معتبرين حادثة القصف عرضية وغير مقصودة. يوم 20 تشرين الأول/أكتوبر 1950، قدم الرئيس الأميركي هاري ترومان اعتذاره للجانب السوفيتي حول الحادثة. وبالتزامن مع ذلك، مثل الطياران الأميركيان، اللذان تورطا بالحادثة، أمام محكمة عسكرية. وبناء على ذلك، تم نقل هذين الطيارين نحو قواعد جوية أخرى بكل من اليابان والفلبين. من جانبها، قبلت موسكو اعتذار الأميركيين تزامنا مع حديثها عن هجوم أميركي كان الهدف منه جرّ الاتحاد السوفيتي لدخول الحرب الكورية بشكل مباشر. #كوريا_الجنوبية #كوريا_الشمالية #الولايات_المتحدة #روسيا

Hello! CAN YOU MAKE HEADCANONS FOR UM-- Chongyun, Xingqiu, and Xiangling towards Y/n if they were part of their friend group-- AA-

Synopsis: chongyun, xingqiu, xiangling, and y/n in a friend group!

Warnings: none!

Game/ fandom: genshin impact

Characters: chongyun, xingqiu, and xiangling (and hu Tao has her own little headcanon because she’s gotta be somewhere in this friendship c’mon)

Pronouns for reader: gender neutral/ not mentioned

A/n: hello! I was really excited when I saw this in my inbox because... ahhh I love platonic headcanons so much! It’s a nice break from romantic headcanons that you need once and a while you know? Not to say I don’t like writing romantic headcanons! But still I need a small break from it once and a while. Anyway, hope you enjoy because I’m really proud of this, and have a nice day/ afternoon/ night!

I feel like you’d be the type of dynamic that’s like “calm one, the one with all the energy, the one that has no energy, and then you. (I’m gonna let you choose your part of the dynamic because... well I don’t know you)” but no matter what you all share a brain cell.

Please please take part in some of xingqiu’s pranks. For your own safety do it. It’ll make the chances of him targeting you for one of his pranks less likely.

Xiangling has asked you to cook with her, and to try some of her cooking. It is always *mwah* delicious. Even when she cooked slime condensate ‘Twas delicious

I feel like I’m occasion you might get into a fight with each other but it typically is resolved quickly. More for chongyuns sake because remember he can’t get to... emotional? I suppose that’s the word...

Chongyun has asked everyone in your friend group to help him exercise some demons, but typically everyone else says no because the have their own plans, so that leaves you. Please go with him, he loves having you there with him it makes it less... gloomy.

Xingqiu rants to everyone once an a while about his book that he’s currently reading. You never understand any of it but he explains in detail to the best of his abilities.

You all have some sort of dinner or lunch with one another a lot. It’s a frequent thing that you all do that makes your day :)

Xiangling will ask you to go foraging for ingredients with her, or even shopping for ingredients. She prefers to go foraging, but sometimes it comes down to going shopping around liyue.

Once and a while chongyun will say something very random and with such a straight face that it’s funny. It’s all things that makes sense... most of the time, but it’s so out of the blue that you can’t help but chuckle. For example you could be taking about a new book with xingqiu and Chongjin will say “if you were to glide from the jade chamber how far would you go?”

I 100% bet that hu tao is somewhere in this friendship because... because I said so. You’d have to stop her from harassing qiqi and baizhu a decent amount of times. (As I have said hu tao was a leash kid.) you’ll drag her back to wanshung funeral parlor and see a disappointed zhongli all his other kids become literal warriors but nooo hu Tao had to be the special one

Hi u seem literate... What r ur favourite nonfiction books?

Tragically most of the non-fiction I read is in Polish and most hasn't been translated it but including it for my beloved Polish followers:

Nothing to Envy by Barbara Demyck - 2009, based on interviews with North Korean refugees from Chongjin. Shows a diversity of perspective, well-written, AND there's a freely available pdf.

The Crisis Caravan by Linda Polman - 2008, about the unfun sides of humanitarian relief, ranging from refugee camps for Hutu refugees after the Rwandan genocide to medical aid organised by American evangelists with no medical training

The 27 Deaths of Toby Obed by Joanna Gierak-Onoszko - 2019, about the residential school system and cultural genocide in Canada and its long-lasting effects.

Dancing at Someone Else’s Wedding by Hanna Krall - 1993, so well-written I love Hanna Krall. A series of vignettes ranging from a woman who discovered her biological mother was a Jewish woman who her parents sheltered during the Second World War to a suicidal abstract painter.

Imperium by Ryszard Kapuściński - 1993, about his travels around the Soviet Union. Really exemplifies how fucking big and diverse and fascinating it was

Like Eating a Stone by Wojciech Tochman - 2002, about the Bosnian war, mostly, but not exclusively focusing on people looking for their late relatives. Really chilling stories my favourite one is about a boy who narrowly avoids being ethnically cleansed by his maths teacher

Wściekły pies by Wojciech Tochman - 2007, series of short... Reportages?? Soooo fucking good. Ranging from a priest with AIDS to schoolchildren on a pilgrimage who burned to death to an amnesiac man who woke up by train tracks

Polska odwraca oczy by Justyna Kopińska - 2016, news stories ranging from an interview with the wife of Mariusz Trynkiewicz, who brutally murdered four teenage boys to abused inmates in a psychiatrist hospital and murders that the police simply does not care about investigating (hint: most of them)

Pod klątwą by Joanna Tokarska-Bakir - 2018. This is the first time I've read a book that I can confidently say is exhaustive. I feel like it covered every single aspect of the Kielce pogrom there is to cover.

Płuczki by Piotr Paweł Reszka - 2019. About the decades long process of the concentration camps in Sobiborz and Bełżec being dug up by local inhabitants looking for belongings taken from murdered Jews to pawn, ranging from fake teeth to a Mickey mouse brooch.

Białystok by Marcin Kącki - 2015. If you're Polish, read this, cannot recommend it enough. Deep dive into the city of Białystok and it's transformation from a majority Jewish city to the one it is today, focusing in large part on antisemitism before, during, and after the war, covering topics ranging from death trains to disco polo

Explosive Lessons: When Re-Education Camps Get Schooled

The attempt to quash the Chongjin insurgency with re-education camps has disastrously failed. These camps, aimed at rekindling communist fervor among the capitalist insurgents, were destroyed in a calculated attack, symbolizing a deep rejection of ideological indoctrination. Amidst the ruins, a burning US flag was found, adding a layer of mystery and suggesting external influence or a profound statement of defiance.

The explosion of the camps and the emblematic US flag have stirred speculations about the insurgency's backers and intentions, revealing the government's strategy's shortcomings. This act has not only shown the ineffectiveness of forced re-education but also hinted at a complex web of motivations behind the unrest, complicating the path to a peaceful resolution.

adding to the chapped yunyun lips, not only does he pick at them, but since he has to be cold consistently his hands are like, the peeliest things uve ever seen </3

chongjin fuckin. peels everything until it’s raw and red (me) and xingqiu lovingly scolds him while he heals up all those open wounds.
