er. This was written as two books, on
e published in 1998 and another publi
shed in 2000.IdeasOne of Kershaw's mo
st important ideas is the idea of "wo
rking towards the Führer". (Hitler ca
lled himself the "Führer", a German w
ord for "leader".) This is his idea a
bout why the Nazi government caused W
orld War II, the Holocaust and other
mass killings. Kershaw believes that
they cannot simply be blamed on just
one person, and it is more important
to study the rest of the Nazi governm
ent and German society. However, unli
ke his friend Hans Mommsen, Kershaw d
|
|
oes not believe that Hitler was a wea
k ruler. Instead, he thinks that Hitl
er was powerful but lazy. He believes
that events like the Holocaust happe
ned because Hitler's followers were w
orking towards what they thought Hitl
er wanted them to do.Other writingsKe
rshaw has also written many other boo
ks and worked as an advisor to docume
ntaries. In the 2010s, he also wrote
books on the wider history of Europe

The Even (Even: эвэн, Russian: эвены)
people are a native population of Si
beria and the Russian Far East. They
are sometimes called Ewens or Lamuts.
LanguageEvens are Tungusic people. Th
ey speak their own language called Ev
en. The Even language was unwritten u
ntil the Russians created a written l
anguage for them, using the Cyrillic
alphabet. Some Evens also speak Yakut
or Sakha, and live in the Sakha Repu
blic. Most Evens live in parts of the
Magadan Oblast and Kamchatka Krai. T
hey share many things in common with
the Evenki people.Evens are reindeer
|
|
herders. They are nomads, which means
they move from one place to another.
Contact with RussiansDuring the 17th
century, Russians made contact with t
he Even people. They introduced disea
ses to the Evens, such as smallpox an
d influenza. Russians also made Evens
pay the yasak, which meant they had
to pay taxes to the Russian governmen
t with reindeer furs. Because of the
new diseases and the reindeer populat
ion decreasing, the population of the
Even people went down.Religion Evens
' religion is a mixture of shamanism
and Russian Orthodoxy. Shamanism is a
|
|
belief that worships animals and nat
ure. There are shamans, people who co
mmunicate with spirits. An Even shama
n is called a haman. Evens believe in
different kinds of spirits. One of t
hem is a fire spirit called togh-mura
nni, which is very powerful. Ibdiril
are spirits that help the haman. They
can look like different people and a
nimals.Culture Reindeer are very impo
rtant to the Even people. They were t
raditionally sacrificed and used in s
pecial ceremonies. Reindeer were used
for transportation, along with dogs.
One group of Evens living on the Pac
|
|
ific coast didn't have as many reinde
er, and depended on fish instead.Even
s lived in clans. Even people had a c
ustom called nimat, which meant that
all of the fish and animals caught we
re shared with the whole clan.There a
re many kinds of folklore in Even cul
ture. Nemkan are about people and ani
mals. Teleng are long stories that ar
e sung, often about warriors and hero
es. Ike are short songs, and nenuken
are riddles.References Ethnic groups

In recreational math, a repdigit or a
monodigit is a type of natural numbe
r. It is only made of the same repeat
ed digit. The word is a portmanteau
of repeated and digit. Examples can b
e numbers like 11, 666, 4444, and 999
999. Repdigits are palindromic number
s(read the same forwards and backward
s) and are multiples of repunits(a nu
mber that only has 1 in it).Repdigits
are the written in base of the numb
er where x is the digit that is repe
ated(). and is how many times that n
umber repeats. For example, the repdi
git 77777 in base 10 is .Another way
|
|
of doing repdigits are called Brazili
an numbers. These are numbers that ca
n be written as a repdigit in any bas
e. It can't, however, be the the repd
igit 11, and it can't be a number wit
h only one digit. 27 would be a Brazi
lian number because 27 is the repdigi
t 33 in base 8. 9 is not a Brazilian
number because its only repdigit is 1
18. The first twenty Brazilian number
s are 7, 8, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 1
8, 20, 21, 22, 24, 26, 27, 28, 30, 31
, 32, 33, ... .History Repdigits were
studied since 1974. In , it was call

Nakhchivan is one of the oldest citie
s in Azerbaijan and the world. Primit
ive people have lived in this area si
nce the Stone Age. Traces of stone ag
e culture in Nakhchivan remain in Gaz
ma, Kilid, Dashgala, Armammad caves,
Batabat plateau and Kultapa. In Azerb
aijan the main centers of Eneolithic
(V millennium BC), Kur-Araz (IV-III m
illennia BC) and painted pottery (XII
I-VII centuries BC) culture are in Na
khchivan. They prove that people have
lived a consistent and intensive lif
e in Nakhchivan for thousands of year
s. There are a number of written sour
|
|
ces about the formation of the city o
f Nakhchivan. According to ancient Gr
eek, Latin, Arabic, Iranian historian
s, geographers and travelers, Nakhchi
van appeared in the first half of the
third millennium BC. The first infor
mation about Nakhchivan belongs to th
e historian Josephus Flavius (1st cen
tury BC) and the Greek geographer Cla
udius Ptolemy (2nd century AD). Ptole
my used the name of Nakhchivan togeth
er with the 7 major cities of the wor
ld. The first medieval Albanian histo
rian Moisey Khorensky (5th century) s
howed that the city of Nakhchivan exi

sted in the 6th century BC. But some
sources state that the city of Nakhch
ivan was founded in the 15th century
BC. Medieval historian Stefan Orbelya
ni reported that the city of Nakhchiv
an was founded in 1539 BC.After the r
estoration of the state independence
of the Republic of Azerbaijan, the at
tention to our history and historical
researches increased significantly,
and two international archeological e
xpeditions started research in the te
rritory of Nakhchivan with the partic
ipation of local specialists. The res
earch works are mainly conducted in O

glangala, Ovchulartepe, Maiden Tower,
I Kultepe, Duzdag, Nakhchivantepe an
d other places. The obtained results
confirm that the formation of the fir
st urban culture in Nakhchivan is mor
e than five thousand years. Nakhchiva
n has existed as a city name since an
cient times. In Claudius Ptolemy's “G
eography” the name of the city is “Na
khsuana” (Nakhuana). Fifth century au
thor Moisey Khorensky mentions the na
me of the city in the form of "Nakhch
ivan".There is information about the
prophet Noah in the Qurani-Karim. In
the suras "Al-Araf", "Hud", "Al-Furqa

n", "Shuawa", "Al-Qamar", "Noah" are
discussed from Noah sent a prophet to
his tribes, prophet Noah's knowledge
of the World flood, to build an Ark
to save some of the creatures, the dr
owning of unbelievers in God, those w
ho accepted Noah's thoughts and belie
ved and boarded the Ark and were save
d. Some scholars still view Noah as
a myth about the world’s flood. Let's
not forget that the Qurani-Karim doe
s not include legends. This is a hist
orical fact.IX-XIII century Arab auth
ors (al-Balazuri, Ibn al-Faqih, Ibn K
hordadbeh, Ibn Rushta, etc.) mention
|
|
the name "Nakhchivan" everywhere as N
ashava . After the XI-XII centuries t
he name Nashava (or Nasheva) disappea
red and the name Nakhchivan replaced
it. The 13th century author Yagut al-
Hamawi writes: “Nashawa is a city in
Azerbaijan, or, as some say, located
in Arran. It is popularly known as am
ong the people Nakhchivan or Nakhchıv
an The Arabic word "Nashava" means "
the place where the sun rises", "the
place where the light shines". We als
o know from historical and mythologic
al sources that the belief of the peo
ple living in this land in the sun, f

ire and light dates back to ancient t
imes. Today, this belief manifests it
self on March 21, that is, "Nuhruz",
the day when Noah’s followers came as
hore (dated as Novruz). Because thes
e lands are ancient Turkic lands, and
the people living here have preserve
d their past beliefs, traditions and
national affiliations to this day.The
city was named Naqshi-Jahan in the 1
4th century Azerbaijani historian Muh
ammad ibn Hindushah Nakhchivani's “Da
stur al-katib fi ta'alin al-maratib”
and Iranian historian Hamdullah Qazvi
ni's “Nuzhat al-gulub”. They wrote in

|
their works: "The city is beautiful
and it is called Naqshi-Jahan" The fa
mous Turkish traveler Evliya Chalabi
(XVII century) writes in his “Travelo
gue”: “Qalayi Nakhishvan” - Naqshi-Ja
han is really the most beautiful city
of the world ”.Some researchers asso
ciate the name of Nakhchivan with the
name of the prophet Noah. The word "
Nakhchivan" is explained in connectio
n with Nuhchikhan, that is, the place
where Noah's followers landed.It is
clear from the information provided b
y the oral folklore materials (myths,
legends, fable, etc.) still living a

mong the local population in Nakhchiv
an that the territory of Nakhchivan w
as flooded 7,500 years ago during the
World flood, and the Ark on which No
ah and his followers sailed mainly in
these areas, touched Mount Agri, Hac
hadaga (Ilanli Mountain), Kamki Mount
ain, and finally landed on Gamigaya i
n the territory of Ordubad region. No
ah, his sons and followers first set
foot on land here and settled there.
Noah lived here, laid the foundations
of the city of Nakhchivan, was taugh
ted in salt mining, viticulture and o
ther fields. Prophet Noah, who lived

for 950 years, died in Nakhchivan and
was buried in the south of the city.
This tomb, on which a magnificent tom
b was erected during the Middle Ages,
which existed until the beginning of
the XX century, and whose remains ha
