2010 Belgian federal election - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Federal elections were held in Belgium on 13 June 2010, during the midst of the 2007-11 Belgian political crisis. After the fall of the previous Leterme II Government over the withdrawal of Open Flemish Liberals and Democrats (Open VLD) from the government the King dissolved the legislature and called new elections. The New Flemish Alliance, led by Bart De Wever, emerged as the plurality party with 27 seats, just one more than the francophone Socialist Party, led by Elio Di Rupo, which was the largest party in the Wallonia region and Brussels. It took a world record 541 days until a government was formed, resulting in a government led by Di Rupo.

Yves Leterme served as the caretaker prime minister of the country for the period that it had no official government.

Mayluu-Suu (Kyrgyz: Майлуу-Суу, Russian: Майли-Сай Mayli-Say)[1] is a mining town in the Jalal-Abad Region of southern Kyrgyzstan. It is a city of regional significance, not part of a district.[2] Its area is 120 square kilometres (46 sq mi),[3] and its resident population was 25,892 in 2021.[4] It has been economically depressed since the fall of the Soviet Union. From 1946 to 1968 the Zapadnyi Mining and Chemical Combine in Mayluu-Suu mined and processed more than 10,000 short tons (9,100 t) of uranium ore for the Soviet nuclear program.[5] Uranium mining and processing is no longer economical, leaving much of the local population of about 20,000 without meaningful work.[6] The town was classified as one of the Soviet government's secret cities, officially known only as "Mailbox 200".[7] Mayluu-Suu consists of the town proper, the urban-type settlement Kök-Tash and the villages Sary-Bee, Kögoy and Kara-Jygach.[2]

Ásbjǫrn skerjablesi - Wikipedia

en.m.wikipedia.org

Ásbjǫrn skerjablesi (died 874), also known as Ásbjǫrn jarl skerjablesi, was a ruler of the Hebrides attested by Landnámabók[2] and Droplaugarsona saga.[3] His epithet, skerjablesi, translates to "skerry blaze".[4] One possibility is that this name means "the man with a blaze from the Skerries", although the particular skerry which this might refer to is unknown. Another possibility is that, whilst the word element blesi ("blaze") refers to Ásbjǫrn's nickname, the element sker ("skerry") refers to his hangout.[5] According to Landnámabók, Ásbjǫrn was slain in 874 by Hólmfastr Véþormsson and Grímr (a nephew of Hólmfastr's father). Ásbjǫrn's killers are stated to have enslaved Ásbjǫrn's wife, Álof (daughter of Þórðr vaggagði), and his daughter Arneiðr.[6]
