The siege of Vienna, in 1529, was the first attempt by the Ottoman Empire to capture the city of Vienna, Austria. Suleiman the Magnificent, sultan of the Ottomans, attacked the city with over 100,000 men, while the defenders, led by Niklas Graf Salm, numbered no more than 21,000. Nevertheless, Vienna was able to survive the siege, which ultimately lasted just over two weeks, from 27 September to 15 October 1529. The siege came in the aftermath of the 1526 Battle of Mohács, which had resulted in the death of Louis II, King of Hungary, and the descent of the kingdom into civil war. Following Louis...

DNA polymerase subunit gamma (POLG or POLG1) is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the POLG gene. Mitochondrial DNA polymerase is heterotrimeric, consisting of a homodimer of accessory subunits plus a catalytic subunit. The protein encoded by this gene is the catalytic subunit of mitochondrial DNA polymerase. Defects in this gene are a cause of progressive external ophthalmoplegia with mitochondrial DNA deletions 1 (PEOA1), sensory ataxic neuropathy dysarthria and ophthalmoparesis (SANDO), Alpers-Huttenlocher syndrome (AHS), and mitochondrial neurogastrointestinal encephalopathy syndrome...

Anastasianism (Russian: Анастасианство, Анастасийство, Анастасиизм) or the Ringing Cedars (Звенящие Кедры; also "Jingling Cedars") is a new religious movement, often classified as New Age, that started in central Russia in 1997 and has since spread across the world.

Anastasianism has also been considered part of the broad spectrum of self-described "Vedic" religions arising in post-Soviet Russia.The movement is based on the series of ten...

За́падные среднеру́сские о́кающие го́воры — одно из двух ответвлений западных среднерусских говоров, занимающее северную часть их территории (от южного ответвления отделено изоглоссами различения и неразличения гласных неверхнего подъёма в первом предударном слоге). Оканье в западных среднерусских окающих говорах сближает их с севернорусским наречием. == Общая характеристика и область распространения == Окающие говоры не составляют целостного диалектного объединения и не разделяются на группы говоров вследствие непоследовательного распространения в них языковых явлений. В пределах окающих говоров...
