ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ Welcome to the Pokémon Village \o/



Introduction


Hello everybody! I'm Christian and I'm an Italian Pokémon fan and collector. I was born in 1994 and my great passion for Pokémon started at age 7 (2001) and has never left me since. At the time I started to get hooked on the Pokémon TV series but soon entered the world of Pokémon video games when my parents gifted me my first Game Boy Advance with Pokémon Sapphire (2003). Pokémon Emerald was the first game that I voluntarily asked my parents to buy for me and from this point on I have always followed the franchise up to the present day. I still remember the unforgettable moments at the Pokémon Day organized in Italy in 2006 and the rush to grab the special 10 ANIV legendary Pokémon. When I joined this site in 2009, RNG abuse had not yet been cracked, and the earliest forms of trading were Pokémon bred from Dittos that weren't flawless. After RNG abuse was discovered by mingot, I RNG abused my first ever Pokémon (a flawless Eevee on Gen 4), and in 2009 I opened my very first trade thread where I traded the centerpieces of my collection. On July 18, 2009, I RNG abused one of the rarest and most difficult Pokémon to obtain at the time, a Shiny flawless Feebas at Mt. Coronet. I still keep that Pokémon in my collection nowadays, a Pokémon that is older than some kids playing the games these days, my "Oceania". After a small hiatus in 2013-2016, I came back to Smogon during late Gen 6 and opened "The Pokémon Village". I became a contributor to the forums and to the Smogon Facebook Giveaways shortly after. From that point forward, I traded with hundreds of people worldwide, creating indelible memories. I organised and participated to a plethora of giveaways in the Wi-Fi subforum obtaining precious parents from which I built a lot of Pokémon featured in this thread. The Pokémon Village is my personal "work" and is meant to include all the Pokémon I have in my Pokémon HOME collection. Everything in this thread is collected and sorted by National Pokédex order and my main goal nowadays is obtaining flawless Pokémon that are fully ribboned throughout each generation and nicknamed accordingly, adapting to themes that come from every cultural facet of this world. This trend started with Sephirona and continued with Max. Optimizer, which have both been a great inspiration to me over the course of time. Since I have the specific tools to RNG abuse any Pokémon I desire in every game and generation, this thread has mainly become a showcase and reference thread. Regardless of that, don't be afraid to ask for something you might like, because there's a high chance that I give it to you for free.

Rules and information


Abide by Smogon Wi-Fi Rules.

Do not trade me hacked/genned/manipulated Pokémon. This hopefully goes without saying.

All of my Pokémon are 100% legit, obtained through RNG mechanics on cartridge by yours truly.

All of my Pokémon are fully redistributable by everyone.

Please only post a CMT in this thread if you have or have had a trade thread on Smogon.

Please note that all the Pokémon listed here are cloned.

I’m only interested in flawless, competitive Pokémon.

I don’t mind if the Pokémon traded to me originated from an emulator or comes from an injected wondercard.


In accordance with the rules, I do not accept Pokémon that have been transferred via unofficial means (i.e via PKHeX).

I’m not interested in Pokémon which have been Hyper Trained or in Pokémon whose nature has been changed via mints, with a few exceptions.

Regarding past gen Pokémon trades on the Switch, I'm only interested in Pokémon that have been fully ribboned on the (3)DS games.

I’m only interested in nicknamed Pokémon. In fact, all of my own Pokémon generally have a nickname.

If I give you something for free, you should give it for free too.

Please post in this thread for CMTs, do not PM or VM me.

I’m only interested in Pokémon from the following languages: ENG, ITA, CHN, JPN and KOR.

Here you will find Pokémon that are difficult to obtain or have a special meaning to me. All the Pokémon listed here are not for trade.


{#105 - “Letuli”}
III
♂


IVs: 31/30/31/10/31/31 - Adamant\Rock Head (HA) - CHRIS\41842 - Kanto (Fire Red)
[Sw/Sh]: Stealth Rock | Flare Blitz | Poltergeist | Bonemerang
[88 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 164 Spe]

Ribbons:







Info about Letuli

Letuli is my third personal Ribbon Master project from Gen 3. The nickname is a reference to Freddie Letuli, who originated the fire knife dance in 1946 in San Francisco. To make Letuli even more unique, I decided to catch a shiny Cubone from Fire Red in a Master Ball (with the best Adamant spread on it available) and keep it unevolved throughout the generations until I could evolve it into Alolan Marowak on Gen 7.

{#143 - “Tarrare”}
III
♂


IVs: 31/31/31/2/31/31 - Careful\Thick Fat - CHRIS\00143 - Kanto (Fire Red)
[S/V]: Curse | Body Slam | Earthquake | Rest
[252 HP / 152 Def / 104 SpD]

Ribbons:








Info about Tarrare

Tarrare is my ninth personal Ribbon Master project from Gen 3. A Ribbon Master CurseLax is finally a possibility now thanks to the new Egg Move mechanics, so I had to get one for my Ribbon Master collection, especially considering the fact that Snorlax is also my favourite Kanto Pokémon and one of my favourite Pokémon in general. I preferred to get it from the Fire Red/Leaf Green games since I could get it shiny and for the nostalgic Kanto tag. After RNG abusing my savefile with the specific Pokédex TID for Snorlax, and the SID for square shininess, I managed to catch it on Route 12 after hitting the frame I had advanced thanks to the TeachyTV trick. From there, Tarrare did his best throughout the main games to obtain every possible available ribbon entirely on retail :p.
The nickname is a reference to Tarrare (1772-1798), a French showman and soldier noted for his unusual appetite and eating habits. He was primarily known for being constantly hungry and for being able to eat large quantities of food as well as unusual objects; since his family was unable to feed him, he traveled to France performing as a circus freak. Tarrare later moved to Paris, where he worked as a street artist and where he demonstrated that he was able to eat a meal sufficient for 15 people at one time and swallow live cats, snakes and other animals without chewing them. In case of fasting his skin would loosen so much that it could fold from his abdomen to his waist. If full, however, his abdomen swelled "like an enormous balloon". Wrinkly and flabby cheeks, when Tarrare opened his mouth, it could even hold twelve eggs or apples.

{#243 - “Damon”}

IVs: 31/4/30/31/31/31 - Timid\Pressure - CHRIS\45030 - Orre (Colosseum)
[S/V]: Calm Mind | Thunderbolt | Aura Sphere | Scald
[252 SpA / 252 Spe / 6 SpD]

Ribbons:








Info about Damon

"Tyger! Tyger! Burning bright
In the forests of the night:
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?"

(William Blake, The Tyger)

Damon is my fifth personal Ribbon Master project from Gen 3. Much like Entei, Raikou has been quite buffed on Pokémon Sword & Shield. Even if it lost Hidden Power (Hidden Power Ice was somehow mandatory in the previous generations - in fact Damon has been RNG abused with the best Hidden Power Ice spread available on Pokémon Colosseum), Raikou can now learn Scald on Gen 8, which hits Ground-type Pokémon for super effective damage just like Hidden Power Ice did, and it's also able to learn Aura Sphere, without the downside of being locked to a Rash nature anymore! The only way to obtain a flawless Raikou from Gen 3 is getting it from Pokémon Colosseum, since due to the Roaming glitch on Pokémon Fire Red & Leaf Green the Johto beasts have a maximum of 0 IV in Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense and Speed; moreover, Raikou is also pretty tedious to RNG abuse as the Cipher Lab is a noisy area and your frames will quickly jump all over the place: this explains why Coloseum Raikou is a perfect candidate for a Ribbon Master! The nickname Damon is a reference to the mighty tiger ridden by the ten-armed goddess Durga (दुर्गा) into war in Hindu mythology, symbol of immense power, bravery and valor.

{#244 - “Yajna”}

III
Ø

IVs: 31/31/31/11/31/31 - Adamant\Inner Focus (HA) - CHRIS\18923 - Orre (Colosseum)
[S/V]: Sacred Fire | Flare Blitz | Extreme Speed | Stone Edge
[252 Atk / 252 Spe / 6 Def]

Ribbons:








Info about Yajna

"Who is that is born again?
It is the moon that is born again.
And what is the great vessel?
The great vessel, doubtless, is this world.
Who was the smooth one?
The smooth one, doubtless, was the beauty (Sri, Lakhsmi)
What is the remedy for cold?
The remedy for cold, doubtless, is fire."

(Shatapatha Brahmana, 13.2.6.10-18)

Yajna is my fourth personal Ribbon Master project from Gen 3. Game Freak decided to make things a lot easier for Entei on Pokémon Sword & Shield: Flare Blitz, being a Gen 4 Event exclusive move on Entei up to Gen 7, became a Technical Record, while Extreme Speed, move limited to the same exact Gen 4 event, is now a simple Level-Up move! Entei's Hidden Ability, Inner Focus, blocking every kind of Attack drop (most notably from Intimidate), became the standard ability on every physical Entei. The Ability Patch, introduced in the Crown Tundra DLC, made the Hidden Ability available on every kind of Entei, meaning that Entei from Pokémon Colosseum can easily obtain its HA! With all these things considered, it was finally time to acquire myself a special Entei from this game and Ribbon Master it. The nickname Yajna, meaning "sacred fire", refers to the fire rituals and sacrifices practiced in devotion of Lord Vishnu (विष्णु) in Hinduism and connects well with Entei's shared move with Ho-Oh, Sacred Fire.

{#245 - “Azzurra”}

IVs: 31/6/31/31/31/31 - Timid\Pressure - CHRIS\59184 - Orre (Colosseum)
[S/V]: Substitute | Calm Mind | Scald | Protect
[252 HP / 252 Spe / 6 SpD]

Ribbons:








Info about Azzurra

"[...] E come il vento
odo stormir tra queste piante, io quello
infinito silenzio a questa voce
vo comparando: e mi sovvien l'eterno,
e le morte stagioni, e la presente
e viva, e il suon di lei. Così tra questa
immensità s'annega il pensier mio:
e il naufragar m'è dolce in questo mare."

(Giacomo Leopardi, L'infinito)

Azzurra is my sixth personal Ribbon Master project from Gen 3. After getting myself a flawless shiny Entei and Raikou from Pokémon Colosseum, it was finally time to get my hands on the last Pokémon to complete the Crown Beast trio: a beautiful shiny Suicune in a Dive Ball! With the Substitute + Calm Mind set Azzurra can effectively abuse Pressure in a number of ways, especially for PP stalling. Maximum HP and Speed investment with a Timid nature gives Azzurra the most amount of overall bulk and makes her as fast as possible so that she can set up Substitutes more safely. The nickname Azzurra is a feminine Italian name and it means "sky blue", the color associated with both the sea and the sky in Italian and with shiny Suicune's color palette. The name also means "pure"; "clear", and can link to the fact that Suicune has the power to walk across water and purify it with one touch, as it dashes through the North wind.

IVs: 31/0/31/31/31/31 - Bold\Marvel Scale - Chris\00350 - Hoenn (Emerald)
[S/V]: Scald | Ice Beam | Haze | Recover
[252 HP / 252 Def / 6 SpD]

Ribbons:








Info about Raanana

Raanana is my eighth personal Ribbon Master project from Gen 3. A few years after obtaining Oceania, my Gen 4 Milotic caught a few months after I joined Smogon in 2009, and learning RNG Abuse in Generation 3, I thought it was finally time to get my hands on a shiny Milotic from the Hoenn region, which would have become Oceania’s beloved sister right after the moment I would have captured her. Water-type Pokémon are my favourites and Milotic is my favourite Water-type Pokémon, hence a Ribbon Master Milotic from her game of origin could not be missing from my collection. I checked that a Bold 0 Atk spread was possible and hittable in Pokémon Emerald thanks to the Synchronize mechanics, and RNG abused a square shiny savefile with 00350 as TID, to match Milotic's Pokédex number. Luckily, this spread had multiple encounter slots, and I eventually managed to run into a wild shiny Feebas. After securing her in a Dive Ball, Raanana's ribboning journey finally began! Milotic, in a certain sense, has been my thread mascot throughout the generations and I really wish she will be included in every Gen 8+ Pokémon game. The nickname Raanana (רַעֲנָנָּה) is a Hebrew feminine name, meaning "rebirth". I decided to pick this nickname as Raanana has been trained and ribboned during the challenges that the world is recently facing, marking the desire to start a new, positive and prosperous cycle.

{#376 - “Nikephoros”}

IVs: 31/31/31/11/31/31 - Adamant\Clear Body - CHRIS\18923 - Orre (Colosseum)
[S/V]: Heavy Slam | Bullet Punch | Psychic Fangs | Earthquake
[252 Atk / 252 Spe / 6 Def]

Ribbons:








Info about Nikephoros

"Πλάσματα μιας ημέρας! Τι είναι ο καθένας;
Τι δεν είναι κανείς; Ένα όνειρο μιας σκιάς
Είναι το θνητό μας ον. Αλλά όταν πρόκειται για άνδρες
Μια λάμψη λαμπρότητας από τον ουρανό,
Τότε στηρίζεται πάνω τους ένα φως δόξας
Και ευλογημένες είναι οι μέρες τους."

(Pindar, Pythian 8)

Nikephoros is my seventh personal Ribbon Master project from Gen 3. Colosseum shiny Metagross has always held a special place in my heart because it is the only Metagross that you can Ribbon Master that can be obtained outside of a Pokéball in the Generation 3 games: the one you find at Steven's House after Defeating Elite Four in RSE is, in fact, in a plain Pokéball. Even if Colosseum Metagross is not as laborious to obtain as Raikou, it still requires a few tricks to do in battle to advance your battle frames in a consistent way. I decided to run the Choice Band set on Nikephoros, Metagross's staple set since the Gen 3 era; Nikephoros (Νικηφόρος) is a Greek male name, meaning "the one who carries victory".

Info about Gioia

Gioia is my first personal Ribbon Master project from Gen 3. This lovely creature has every ribbon/mark from Gen 3, 4, 6, 7, 8 and 9. Latias is one of my favourite Pokémon, plus it's shiny and it’s caught with the only Luxury Ball available on Emerald. Her nickname means "joy" in italian, one of the most meaningful of all human emotions. Shout out to Ezeltjeswag and Lego for helping me in getting the Earth Ribbon on her.

Info about Yoshiyuki

Yoshiyuki is my second personal Ribbon Master project from Gen 3. Originally RNG abused with Hidden Power Fighting, Yoshiyuki has now Aura Sphere in Gen 8, a definitely stronger Fighting-type move! Yoshiyuki (義行) is a Japanese male name, meaning "the one who acts virtuously". Shout out to Xen for providing the legit Eon ticket on my Sapphire game.

Medeus (メディウス) was an earth dragon king and the only known earth dragon to have willingly become a Manakete, featured in the Fire Emblem videogame. He was the first and only ruler of the Dolhr Empire, reviled and feared across Archanea as the tyrannical Shadow Dragon (暗黒竜 “Dark Dragon”). His years of watching over his captured brethren on behalf of the divine dragon Naga deeply embittered him against humanity and their cruelty toward his fellow Manaketes, to which he sought revenge by founding Dolhr and subjecting humanity to years of cruel conquest and oppression under his rule. The Sport Ball was chosen to match the vivid orange of shiny Charizard's flame on its tail.

His mastery of Water Release allowed him to create vast quantities of the substance without a present water source, enabling him to use high-level Water Release techniques at any given time. He could shoot high-pressured streams from his mouth to slice through targets or form needle-shaped projectiles to catch an opponent off-guard while attacking their vital points. In the anime, he could cover an entire battlefield in water and shape it into tendrils to pull targets down with him to drown them.

[S/V]: Flare Blitz | Head Smash | Close Combat | Extreme Speed

The nickname is a reference to Gelert, a legendary wolfhound associated with the village of Beddgelert (whose name means "Gelert's Grave") in Gwynedd, north-west Wales. In the legend, Llywelyn the Great returns from hunting to find his baby missing, the cradle overturned, and Gelert with a blood-smeared mouth. Believing the dog had devoured the child, Llywelyn draws his sword and kills Gelert. After the dog's dying yelp, Llywelyn hears the cries of the baby, unharmed under the cradle, along with a dead wolf which had attacked the child and been killed by Gelert. Llywelyn is overcome with remorse and buries the dog with great ceremony, but can still hear its dying yelp. After that day, Llywelyn never smiles again. The nickname was chosen since I wanted to draw a parallel between the previous Lord of Firespit Island appearing in Pokémon Legends: Arceus's plot, an Arcanine who died while saving a Pokémon from drowning in the sea, and Gelert who equally died trying to save the baby child from the wolf.

The Jinmenju (人面樹) is a strange-looking and eerie tree that grows in hilly regions far from civilization. While a Jinmenju otherwise appears to be nothing more than a twisted, gnarled cherry tree, the fruit that hangs from its branches makes it impossible to mistake for any other flora, for each fleshy melon possesses the semblance of a human head. A Jinmenju can alter these head-fruits to resemble virtually any form, making the rotting melons attractive or at least intriguing to potential prey. Using its ability to delve into nearby creatures’ memories, a Jinmenju simulates the appearance of whichever creature (or fruit) will draw prey within range of its branches, which it uses to pummel enraptured creatures to unconsciousness before devouring them.

The nickname is a reference to the Ashvattha (अश्वत्थ), a sacred and eternal world-tree in Hindu mythology. Ashvattha is used metaphorically to describe the mighty, many branched system of integrated consciousness, life force and afferent and efferent nerves, that is the composite of man: our existence. The roots above show our spiritual dimension, whereas the branches below depict our material bondages. Material existence is rooted in the spiritual. The Ashvattha tree is also a way of visualizing all the things that keep people bound to karma. It suggests the world of transitory beings, which are ever in the process of change -- nothing remaining the same from the present moment to the next. The Hindu Trinity (Brahma, Vishnu and Maheshwara) is believed to dwell in this tree.

Hawaiian stories of going to the underworld after the soul of the dead and restoring it to the body are based on the Hawaiian philosophy of life, whose tendency is to dissociate the spirit or soul (uhane) from the body (kino) and to think of it with a quite independent life of its own apart from the body, which is dead or inert without it. The spirit (uhane) may wander away from the living body, leaving it asleep or merely listless and drowsy, and visit another in dream or as an apparition (hihi‘o) while the other is awake.

The nickname is a reference to Mifune (ミフネ), a master swordsman and samurai warrior in Naruto. He wields the katana "Kurosawa" (黒澤, "black swamp") and is widely renowned as a master of Iai — a style of swordsmanship which involves the user rapidly unsheathing his blade to slash the enemies, and then re-sheathing it after completing the attack. Mifune's mastery of Iai is such that Hanzō and others have stated how it was useless to try and perform hand seal-induced techniques against him. The speed and precision of his strikes are able to inflict a lethal blow on his opponent without staining the blade with blood, and even slice open the head of a large summon creature such as Ibuse. "A blade that is kept keen becomes a legend to be inherited by future generations and endures!".

In a hotel room later, Gabriel is devastated to discover that he has misunderstood Gretta's feelings; she has been moved by the memory of a young lover named Michael Furey who preceded Gabriel, and who died for the love of Gretta. Gabriel realizes that she has never felt similarly passionate about their marriage.

The nickname is a reference to Hans Fricke, the marine biologist who first photographated the coelacanth in its natural habitat, 180 metres (590 ft) off Grand Comoro's west coast in 1987, using his submarine GEO, after 22 unsuccessful tries.
"I discovered a very funny, tetrapod-like movement of the fins, a kind of cross-step that they do. If you were to cut a coelacanth across the middle, you’d see that it’s almost an ellipse. If one make a downbeat with its right pectoral, the beast turns. To counter this, it has to make a counter-downbeat on the far left side. This produces the tetrapodic cross-step. It’s a normal thing for an animal on land, but we’re talking about a fish. This could be a pre-adaptation for the step to land".

The creature came as usual one morning for its milk, and when the hut door was opened the dogs attacked it, and while thus engaged the knight took the dragon by surprise, the dogs dying in the affray, with the corpse of the dragon suddenly turning into a hill (now known as Bolton's Bench). Though the knight had defeated the dragon, he had been mentally broken by the battle, and after thirty days and thirty nights he went back to Bolton's Bench to die alone atop it, his yew-wood bow falling on the ground beside his body and eventually sprouting into the yew tree which can still be seen today.

Gur Aryeh (גור אריה "young lion") refers to the Lion of Judah, the Jewish national and cultural symbol that represents the Israelite tribe of Judah throughout the Old Testament of the Hebrew Bible.

In this blessing, Judah is considered a lion cub who will majestically reign over the whole kingdom when he grows up: "the cub of a lion is Judah; From the prey, my son, you have gone up. [...] The scepter shall not depart from Judah, and to Him shall be the obedience of the peoples."

If a bee stings, it dies, which certainly functions to comment the powerlessness Plath felt toward her own situation. These poems display radical feminist and existential themes, offering a response to the onthology of being female; and though personal and painful, they beg the question: how can we thrive in the hive?

Because she was born blind, and her parents believed that her condition limited her capacity to learn and use the skill safely, they had a tutor teach her only basic earthbending. She later learned more advanced earthbending secretly from the badgermoles (fictional blind creatures that naturally earthbend). She eventually becomes the first person to develop the ability to "bend" metal as well. Toph has been blind since birth, but from her observations of badgermoles, she had learned to locate objects and their movements by sensing their vibrations in the earth around her.

The nickname is a reference to Caer Ibormeith, the daughter of Prince Ethal Anbuail and Aengus (or Óengus)'s future lover, the god associated with love and poetic inspiration in Irish culture. After appearing to Aengus in a dream, dream which lasted over a year, every Samhain Caer would turn to human form for one day, and after that, she would revert into being a swan, in which form she would remain for a year before becoming human again. Aengus went in search for this girl in his dreams but was told he could marry Caer only if he could identify her in her swan form. He chose correctly among 150 girls chained in pairs, and, after that, he turned himself into a swan as well and they both flew away together. Caer would marry with Aengus and become foster-mother of Diarmuid.

It is for this reason that the tree is called the usuzumi (literally “pale, inky black”) cherry tree. The Usuzumi-zakura is 16.3 meters tall and it is counted as one of the "Three Greatest Sakura Cherry Blossom Trees of Japan", and it is designated as a natural treasure by the Japanese government.

Ng Mui taught the girl to defend herself by distilling Shaolin martial arts knowledge into a quick lesson. Her clever, adaptable style of self defense was a great equalizer as it took away the advantages of size, weight or gender.

They are lined up head to tail, forming a living bridge between two twigs".
Merian's depictions of ants were subsequently cited and copied by other artists. Her depictions of the struggle among organisms predate Charles Darwin and Lord Tennyson's theories on the struggle for survival and evolution.

From this point onwards, its bones are kept as trophy in the basement of the basilica closest to the place of its killing. "Hic sunt dracones".

The nickname is a reference to Richard Christopher Carrington (1826-1875), an English amateur astronomer whose 1859 astronomical observations demonstrated the existence of solar flares as well as suggesting their electrical influence upon the Earth and its aurorae; his 1863 records of sunspot observations also revealed the differential rotation of the Sun. On 1 September 1859, Carrington and Richard Hodgson, another English amateur astronomer, independently made the first observations of a solar flare. Because of a simultaneous "crochet" observed in the Kew Observatory magnetometer record by Balfour Stewart and a geomagnetic storm observed the following day, Carrington suspected a solar-terrestrial connection. For this reason, the geomagnetic storm of 1859 is often called the Carrington Event.

The nickname is a reference to Maddalena Casulana (1544-1590), an Italian composer, lutenist and singer of the late Renaissance. She is the first female composer to have had a whole book of her music printed and published in the history of western music. Her style is moderately contrapuntal and chromatic, reminiscent of some of the early work by Marenzio as well as many madrigals by Philippe de Monte, but avoids the extreme experimentation of the Ferrara school composers such as Luzzaschi and Gesualdo. Her melodic lines are singable and carefully attentive to the text. Casulana favoured dramatic dialogue in her polyphonic vocal works. This is demonstrated in her madrigal, "Morte - Che vôi - Te Chiamo?", in which she alternates different voices to highlight the questions and answers of the text.

The nickname is a reference to Kurt Goldstein (1878-1965), a German neurologist and psychiatrist who described the first known case of Alien hand syndrome (AHS). AHS is a category of conditions in which a person experiences their limbs acting seemingly on their own, without conscious control over the actions. The affected person may sometimes reach for objects and manipulate them without wanting to do so, even to the point of having to use the controllable hand to restrain the alien hand. In a detailed case report published in 1908, Goldstein described a right-handed woman who had had a stroke affecting her left side from which she had partially recovered by the time she was seen. However, her left arm seemed as though it belonged to another person and performed actions that appeared to occur independent of her will. Barbaracle's Pokédex entry notes that its limbs have multiple minds of their own, which may be a reference to Alien hand syndrome.

Seals were believed to be former human beings who voluntarily sought death in the ocean. A young farmer wondering if this story was true, went and lay in wait on a local beach. He watched and saw the seals arriving in large numbers, swimming towards the shore. The young lad stared at a pretty seal girl named Kópakonan placing her skin close to the spot where he was hiding, and when the dance began, he sneaked up and stole it. The seal girl was very upset when she couldn’t find her skin. The farmer kept her with him for many years as his wife, and she bore him several children; but he always had to make sure that she didn’t have access to her skin. However, one day the man forgets his key at home, and comes back to his farm to find that his selkie wife has taken her skin and returned to the ocean. Later, when the farmer is out on a hunt, he kills Kópakonan's selkie husband and two selkie sons. Enraged, the selkie woman promises vengeance for her lost kin: deaths that occur on the island are thought to be due to the Kópakonan's curse.

Borsalino manufacturing has remained faithful to a production process that represents the cultural values of the company, handed down from generation to generation. The hats continue to be produced in Alessandria close to the area of the company's original foundation. The felt models, created from fur fibers, require more than 50 manual steps and seven weeks of work to create; the straw models, which are hand twisted, can take up to 6 months for a single hat.

In fact, in 1902 the German archaeologist Robert Koldewey brought the Ishtar Gate to light: a semicircular arch covered with glazed bricks of different colors, built under the reign of King Nebuchadnezzar (605-562 BC), that marked the point from which a very wide road branched off, protected by mighty walls. On the door there were three animals depicted: the lion, the rimi (aurochs) and the Sirrush.

This little cosmic rock shimmers with the colors of the rainbow and scientists believe that it contains the building blocks of life, that is the essential amino acids and proteins.

The nickname is a reference to the dead woman portrayed in Maruyama Ōkyo (円山応挙)'s painting "Ghost of Oyuki" (お雪の幻), a work that singularly defined the image of yūrei (幽霊) – the Japanese ghost – and created an enduring Japanese cultural legacy. The ghost-girl Oyuki was Ōkyo’s mistress and lover who worked in the Tominaga Geisha house and died young. Nothing more is known about her. What we do know is that Ōkyo wanted to remember her in a poignant portrait which came from intense sadness and longing. Light colours on a creamy silk depict the white-faced, black-haired Oyuki in a bone-white burial kimono. Under her eyes, an expression that either reprimands or romances. The ghostly figure of Oyuki has become as much a part of Japan’s cultural iconography as the black ninja. And just as elusive.

The death of the ego is an absolute dissolution of the ego into the unconscious, a complete loss of subjective self-identity: consciousness is emptied and the ego is swallowed, because "its contents are attracted by the unconscious as by a magnet". Jung goes on to explain it as a “shift back to the existential position of the natural self”. Ego death is an extremely powerful experience which can be incredibly rewarding: "By sacrificing the self and the separation that is inherent to selfdom, you are gifted the keys to the kingdom of unity and selflessness. You destroy yourself and gain the world".

Unfortunately, Akana is captured and imprisoned; this makes it impossible for him to keep his promise to his friend. So he decides to kill himself, in order to reach his friend in the form of a ghost and tell him that nothing could prevent him from keeping such an important promise.

The nickname is an homage to Titus (1974-2009), a silverback mountain gorilla of the Virunga Mountains, observed by researchers almost continuously over his entire life. He was the subject of the 2008 PBS Nature/BBC Natural World documentary film Titus: The Gorilla King. The documentary starts in 1967, when the researcher Dian Fossey first made contact with a group of mountain gorillas in Rwanda, and goes on revealing Titus's complete and dramatic life story. Titus's father was murdered by poachers in front of his very eyes and his mother abandoned him in the subsequent chaos, but Titus survived against all the odds. The unfolding drama climaxes with rare footage of the gorillas at the very top of their mountain world on the Virunga Mountains. Titus's trials and tribulations take the viewer back in time to reveal key moments in his history. Using testament from eyewitnesses, the film relives one individual mountain gorilla's extraordinary battle for survival.

Vali (वाली) was the monkey king of Kishkindha in the Hindu epic Rāmāyana. Vali was invincible during the Treta Yuga, defeating some of the greatest warriors like Ravana. Even though possessing great strength, Vali was killed by Lord Rāma who justifies his actions by saying that Vali has a boon by which he gets half of the power of the person with whom he fights and that he is also a Vanara (a wild monkey), so killing him from behind a tree is correct.

The nickname is a reference to Ebenezer Cobb Morley (1831-1924), the English sportsman regarded as one of the fathers of the Football Association (FA) and modern football. After joining the London Rowing Club, it was with friends and colleagues from the club that he founded the Barnes FC. Morley’s nonconformist background and schooling had a great influence on him, and this, together with his passion for football, led him to believe that the game should have rules. He wrote to Bell’s Life suggesting that rules should be imposed on the game in the same way that cricket had, and this led to the meeting of representatives of a dozen London and suburban clubs at the Freemason’s Tavern in London on 26 October 1863. It was at this meeting that the Football Association of England was formed. Morley played in the first ever match under FA rules, for Barnes against Richmond in December 1863.

In 1944, a Canadian newspaper described Shanina as "the unseen terror of East Prussia". She became the first servicewoman of the 3rd Belorussian Front to receive the Order of Glory.

The nickname is a reference to Ziggy Stardust, the fictional character created by English musician David Bowie, which was Bowie's stage persona and alter ego during 1972 and 1973. In various interviews, Bowie confirmed that the '50s rocker Vince Taylor was the main inspiration for his character. Ziggy Stardust is an androgynous, alien rock star who came to Earth before an impending apocalyptic disaster to deliver a message of hope. His exuberant fashion made the character and Bowie himself staples in the glam rock repertoire well into the 1970s, defining what the genre would become.
"Ziggy really sang
Screwed-up eyes and screwed-down hairdo
Like some cat from Japan..."
"Ziggy played guitaaaar"

The nickname is a reference to Roy John Britten (1919-2012), an American molecular biologist known for his discovery of repeated DNA sequences in the genomes of eukaryotic organisms. To study how repetitive DNA sequences were distributed throughout the sea urchin genome, Britten in the early 1970s sheared DNA at different lengths and then reattached the sheared base pairs (re-natured) to their complementary pairs. He discovered that large portions of the sea urchins' genomes contained repetitive elements that interspersed among smaller coding regions. Moreover, Britten discovered that different genes were expressed at different intervals in the sea urchin embryo as it developed, and he showed how to measure the rates of synthesis of nuclear RNA and the corresponding mRNA levels in the cytoplasm of the cells.

The nickname is a reference to Ethan Frome, the main character featured in the homonymous book by American author Edith Wharton. The aptly named Starkfield, Massachusetts, is the setting for the endless, agonizing winter that imprisons the title character, locked equally in a ménage a trois that has to be the one of the chilliest in literature: Ethan Frome, Zeena, his wife, and Mattie, Zeena's cousin, with whom Ethan falls in love. This new bond seems to mark the beginning of a phase of change which could mean, for Ethan Frome, the escape from a domestic prison. But things will turn out differently, in a winter backdrop which, in the novel, indeed is a powerful shaper of man's fate. With inventive mastery, Wharton reserves for the three characters a fate that is both tragic and grotesque at the same time. A book in which narration is the tool that allows you to untie the seemingly inextricable knot of ties between human beings.

When the King's Guard returned to Edinburgh in 1972, Egelien arranged for the regiment to adopt a penguin. This penguin was named Nils Olav in honour of Nils Egelien and King Olav V of Norway.

Maximillian had a commemorative medallion issued after Süleyman's death to a design by sculptor Michael Fuchs.

This aircraft had a wingspan of 48 feet (14.6 meters) and a total weight (with pilot) of 850 pounds (386 kilograms).

Ein Sof comes from the Hebrew term אין סוף (infinity, or limitlessness) and can be conceived as the opposite of what is conceived as "being", the transcendental par excellence, beyond the finite and the infinite, the limit and the boundless and even beyond all the anthropomorphic representations of God. In the Kabbalah, it is understood as God before any self-manifestation, and can be translated as "unending", "(there is) no end". The term is found for the first time in the text of Azriel that, sharing the Neoplatonic belief that God cannot have any desire, thought, word or deed, emphasized by it the negation of any attribute. Of the Ein Sof, nothing ("Ein") can be grasped ("Sof"-limitation). It is the origin of the Ohr Ein Sof, the "Infinite Light" of paradoxical divine self-knowledge, nullified within the Ein Sof prior to creation.

The nickname is a reference to the name that the Gautama Buddha had when he was still a Bodhisattva, as a king of the monkeys. The monkey ruled by Mahākapi lived at a spot near the Ganges and ate of the fruit of a great mago tree. The king Brahmadatta of Benares desiring to possess the mangoes, surrounded the tree with his soldiers, in order to kill the animals, but the Bodhisattva Mahākapi formed a bridge over the stream self-sacrificing his own body and by this means enabled the whole tribe to escape into safety.

"Victorious king, I guard the herd, I am their lord and chief,
When they were filled with fear of thee and stricken sore with grief.
I leapt a hundred times the length of bow outstretched that lies,
When I had bound a bamboo-shoot firmly around my thighs:
I reached the tree like thunder-cloud sped by the tempest’s blast;
I lost my strength, but reached a bough: with hands I held it fast.
And as I hung extended there held fast by shoot and bough,
My monkeys passed across my back and are in safety now."

The nickname is a reference to Alexander Yaroslavich Nevsky (1221-1263), Prince of Novgorod and Kiev regarded as a key figure in medieval Russian history.

The battle, which took place on 5 April 1242, was fought largely on the frozen Lake Peipus and represented a significant defeat for the Catholic forces during the Northern Crusades, bringing an end to their campaigns against the Orthodox Novgorod Republic and other Russian territories for the next century.

One of the largest Viking axes ever found has been uncovered by a team of archaeologists from Denmark. The impressive weapon was buried in the tomb of a powerful couple from the local Viking community. The discovery took place back in 2012, during construction works to create a new highway in Denmark, in the southern region of Hårup. The workers stumbled upon a tomb – a type known as a 'death house' – measuring roughly 3.9 metres by 12.8 metres. Built around 950 AD it contained three separate graves. The axe was part of the many Viking artefacts which were buried with them. Unadorned, it was clearly not a decorative object intended as funeral offering, but had served as a deadly weapon in battles. Its exact proportions are unknown, but it was so large it would have required the use of two hands to wield and was probably pretty difficult to swing. Archaeologists believe it would have been taken to battle primarily to scare enemies.

The nickname is a reference to Jeanne Demarsy (1865-1937), a young French actress who was the inspiration for the painting "Spring", a 1881 oil-on-canvas painting by Édouard Manet. The painting debuted at the Paris Salon of 1882 and was considered the greatest and final public success of Manet's Salon career. Jeanne Demarsy is depicted in a Parisienne-style outfit, with a floral dress, parasol and bonnet against a background of lush foliage and blue sky. This work of art poignantly personifies the Spring season even in Demarsy’s soft, pale skin with hints of rosy hues on her cheeks and lips. The garden in the background, most likely the garden in Manet’s villa, contrasts to her white dress, creating movement in the painting from the umbrella, down to her bonnet that ties around her neck, and then to her hands and down her dress. The painting became the first work of art ever to be published in color.

The nickname is a reference to William Buckland (1784-1856), an English palaeontologist and finder of the first fossil skeleton of a human ever discovered in 1823, in southern Wales, associated with bones of extincted animals. Though Buckland initially presumed that the skeleton, ceremonially buried under six inches of soil in a limestone cave facing the sea, was male, he later revised his presumption to female because of a bracelet made of ivory found with it. Since the skeleton's bones were stained with ochre, the skeleton became known as the "Red Lady of Paviland". In 2008, radiocarbon-dating techniques conclusively showed these bones belonged to a male individual buried around 33,000 years ago, the oldest human remains ever found in Britain.

When Wedderburn regained consciousness he was discovered by a native girl, who nursed the knight back to health and with whom he fell in love. As a sign of love, the lady gave him a golden ring but staying true to his vows, Wedderburn could not marry her. Wedderburn eventually made his way back home, but unfortunately the local Grand Master thought that he was not pure and ordered him to kill himself using his own dagger. On hearing this the woman killed herself by stabbing her heart and as she died she cursed the preceptor. This caused a lightning bolt to strike him, killing him instantly and leaving a large hollow in the ground. Legend has it to this day, on the anniversary of the tragedy, the huge hole in the ground shines with shimmering blue light.

The nickname is an homage to Fungie, a male common bottlenose dolphin that became separated from other wild dolphins and lived in very close contact with the people of Dingle on the southwest coast of Ireland. Fungie was first seen in Dingle harbour in 1983 and continued to seek out human contact over the following 38 years, until his disappearance in October 2020. By 2019, it was estimated that he was at least 40 years of age and Guinness World Records declared him to be the oldest solitary wild dolphin in the world. Fungie was known to interact playfully with swimmers, surfers, kayakers and divers in the water. There have not been any recorded cases of Fungie being aggressive towards humans. Although it is normal for social animals like dolphins to live in close contact with each other, it is still a rare occurrence for them to seek out human contact, and Fungie is the first recorded occurrence of a dolphin interacting positively with humans in the wild.

Ordered structures occur from the intrinsic nature of the constituent particles to form symmetric patterns that repeat along the principal directions of three-dimensional space in matter. Bragg was joint recipient (with his father, William Henry Bragg) of the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1915.

In 1938, stories of a "killer ghost" began to be told in eastern Kentucky. A man named Carl Pruitt came home from work one night and found his wife in bed with another man. After her lover escaped by jumping out of a window, in a fit of rage Pruitt strangled his wife with a small piece of chain. Immediately after, perhaps having just realized the depth of his madness, he committed suicide. He was buried in a separate cemetery from his wife. Alone and forsaken, Pruitt's ghost took the form of a wrathful entity who started to haunt the cemetery, causing five deaths, all linked to chain accidents. Even if the cursed grave was destroyed in 1958, the five strange deaths were never explained.

Isilo was known as a tusker, a male elephant with tusks weighing over 100 pounds. He was a major attraction at the Tembe Elephant Park due to his immense size and his placid nature. Isilo's tusks were estimated to be more than 3 meters long. He died of natural causes relating to old age; Isilo's death attracted international media attention because his tusks, considered a National Heritage artifact, were missing when his body was discovered.

Like Isilo, Satao was also known as a tusker, with tusks that almost touched the ground. The Tsavo Trust announced that Satao was killed by poachers using a poisoned arrow on 30 May 2014. Elephant ivory poaching is a widespread problem in Africa. In 2013, over 20,000 African elephants were killed for their ivory. The slaughter of African elephants is driven by the black market value of elephant ivory. The illicit trade in ivory is primarily in Asia where ivory sells for several thousands of dollars per kilogram. Satao's tusks were estimated to weigh more than 100 pounds (45 kg) each.

Upon her death in 1680, she was hastily buried in an unmarked grave in Hampton and a stake was driven into her body "in order to exorcise the baleful influence she was supposed to have possessed", and a horseshoe hung on the stake to prevent any further wrongdoings from her postmortem. Her body has never been recovered.

The project was initially directed by Captain E. J. Ruppelt and followed projects of a similar nature such as Project Sign established in 1947, and Project Grudge in 1949. Project Blue Book had two goals, namely, to determine if UFOs were a threat to national security, and to scientifically analyze UFO-related data. By the time Project Blue Book ended, it had collected 12,618 UFO reports, and concluded that most of them were misidentifications of natural phenomena (clouds, stars, etc.) or conventional aircraft. 701 reports, though, were classified as unexplained, even after stringent analysis.

Fingolfin wielded it to great effect against Morgoth during their duel before the gates of Angband, wounding him seven times. However, he was slain by the Dark Lord, who broke Fingolfin's neck with his foot. With his last breath, Fingolfin hewed Morgoth's foot with Ringil, rendering him lame for the rest of his existence.

The nickname is a reference to Ethel Sargant (1863-1918), a British botanist who studied both the cytology and morphology of plants. She was one of the first female members of the Linnean Society and the first woman to serve on their council. Her research focused on centrosomes in the higher plants which contributed to the proof of the striking agreement in the processes between animal and plants. Her publications on sytological subjects also relate to the formation of the nuclei concerned in reproduction.
