John MacAndrew bent to the ground, picking up the last piece of wood, he placed it with the others.  John's wife sent him out to the woods to find firewood for the night.

On his way back to the farm, John noticed three men in the woods, traveling down an animal made path.  John was expecting them.  Reivers who were sent out to find John and kill him.  Reivers were raiders along the Scottish/English border consisting of both nationalities.  John had earlier joined forces with the Ross clan who where pursuing a group of reivers who had stolen the cattle of the Ross Clan.  John was one archer of supreme skill and made a name for himself killing reivers with his bow.  At the end of the pursuit, John pulled out his bow and struck the Chief reiver in the eye.

As the men walked down the path they noticed a young man carrying a bundle of wood.  The young man was not a tall one, actually he was rather short in stature, and seemed to have trouble carrying the wood as he stumbled and dropped one piece after another.
"You there boy," the reiver said.  "Do you know a John MacAndrew?"
"I know him," John said.  "I'm the servant."
"I need you to show us where he lives."
"Not sure if I can do that, he doesn't like visitors."
What a surprise, thought the reivers.  John MacAndrew was known for his run-ins with border raiders and was constantly in danger from one seeking a vendetta.
"Tell you what," one of the reivers said.  "I will give you two shillings if you bring us to MacAndrew."
"Two shillings? I guess I could take you to his house."
They followed the boy up the path to a small farm and up to the farm house.  The house was not much to look at, at most it looked like it held two rooms.  Outside the house was an old oak tree, it looked as if it been there for centuries.

Claire MacAndrew placed the last log into the fireplace.  She sat at the large table at the center of the room, the table itself almost took up the entire room, leaving little space to walk.  Where is he?  John should be home by now, thought Claire.  It was a cold night and the fire would not last much longer.  There was a knock on the door.  Claire got up from her seat and opened the small wooden door.  Standing outside was her husband and three large men.  John took off his hat and held it with both hands.
"Excuse me Ms,"  John said.  "Is your husband around?"
"He ran off about an hour ago, but he should be around here somewhere."
Claire and her husband had many encounters with reivers.  She knew all about the dangers that seemed to follow John wherever he went.  Once again she would have to help John escape his troubles.  Where would he be without me?  Dead, perhaps, thought Claire.
"Would you like to come in?"
"Do you have food?" said one of the reivers.
"We always have food for guests, please sit down."
The reivers one by one walk in and sat down at the table.  John also walked it with his hat still in hand as he stood patently by the door.
"Samuel,"  Claire turned to John.  "Go fetch the master,  I think he went to check on the cows."
"Yes Ms."
With a smile John put his hat back on and ran out the door, closing the door behind him.

Once outside, John made his way to the barn located behind the house.  The barn was where the MacAndrew's kept farm equipment and newly slaughtered animals.  Inside there was a newly killed cow.  John placed the cow on his shoulder and carried it back to the house.  Placing the cow against the door, with the flesh side up, made it more of a challenge to open the door from the inside.  John turned around to face the old oak tree.  My favorite tree, thought John as he started to climb.  About six meters up, John reached into a hollow crevice within the tree.  He pulled out a bow and a quiver with a supply of arrows.

Placing three cups on the table, Claire poured water for each of the three men at the table.
"I thought you had food."
"I'm bringing you food, I thought you would want some water first."
At the far end of the house Claire opened the pantry where she stored a small provision of food.  She gathered a arm full of small whole wheel size of cheese.
"I hope you all like cheese."
"Cheese?" said one man.  "She has cheese!"
"A whole wheel of cheese." Claire said.  She made her way over to the men, still seated, eagerly awaiting the first meal in half a day of travel.  While walking to the reivers she slipped and fell onto the newly swept dirt floor.  The balls of cheese bounced and rolled away from her in every direction.  The three men all in a hurry flew from their seats and dived for the cheese, fighting each other for the food.  As if they where rodents, desperate for food, crammed the food into their own mouths as if there was no time to chew.  Suddenly the room was filled with the cry of the young man.
"MacAndrew is coming!"  the boy yelled.  "John MacAndrew is on his way!"
The men struggled to get to their feet.  One choked as he tried to spit a large piece of cheese from his mouth.  They rushed for the door, but there was something pressing against the small wooden door, slowing their escape.

John watched as if someone was struggling to open the door.  The fresh cow carcass was doing what he wished.  John pulled out an arrow from his quiver.  Pulled back on his bow, aimed at the door and waited.  The door slowly by little budged open more and more.  A large jut finally flew the door open as the carcass fell in front of the door with the skinned side facing upwards.  The first of the reivers rushed out.  He slipped on the skinned carcass and landed on his back.  John released his first arrow.  The arrow struck the man in the neck entering from the lower part of the neck and traveled upwards towards the skull.  Reiver number two emerged from the farm house, sword in hand.  He looked around, as if he was scanning his surroundings.  John released his second arrow.  The reiver looked upwards towards the oak tree.  The arrow struck the man in the head, killing him instantly.  The third and final reiver staggered out, still choking on his piece of cheese roll, sword in hand.  The third arrow left John MacAndrew's bow.  Striking the man in the spleen.  The man fell as he screamed in agony.  John released a fourth arrow.  Hitting the man in the stomach, followed by a fifth arrow to the chest.

John placed his quiver of arrows and bow back into the crevice of the old oak tree.  As the climbed back down his wife came out to see what had happened.
"You know they will send more men to find you."
"Let them come,"  John said.  "They are not the first, and they will not be the last raiders I kill."
"Don't you think it would be wise to move north?"  Claire said.  "I mean--away from the border, away from the cattle raiders?"
"Why?  John asked.  "This is our home.  If they want to steal my cattle and my way of living they will have to get past me first.  I'm not going to be chased away from my home."
"I'm just not sure how many times I can get you out of trouble John."
"Don't worry, I'm the best archer this place has ever seen.  I'm not going anywhere soon."

VLADIMIR IOSIFOVICH LOKHOV (; 22 December 1924 - 2002) was a Soviet intelligence officer, and colonel of the KGB of the USSR.[1]

Biography

Lokhov was born on 22 December 1924 in the village of Pichigviny, Znaur District, in the South Ossetian Autonomous Oblast, part of the Georgian SSR, Soviet Union. He was of Ossetian nationality.[2]

From 1942 to 1948 Lokhov served in the 30th division of the troops of the NKVD — Ministry of Internal Affairs of the USSR. Since 1952 he was employed in the state security agencies. In 1953 he graduated from the Law Faculty of Azerbaijan State University. In 1952-1957 he worked as an assistant to the detective and detective of the 5th department of the MGB — Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Azerbaijan SSR — the State Security Committee (KGB) under the Council of Ministers (CM) of the Azerbaijan Soviet Socialist Republic.

Since 1957 Lokhov was an employee of the Office “C” (illegal intelligence) of the First Chief Directorate (CCGT, foreign intelligence) of the KGB under the USSR Council of Ministers - the KGB of the USSR. Until August 1962, he was trained to work in special conditions.[3] He worked as an illegal scout in a number of countries in Asia, Europe, and the East. When performing critical tasks, he visited dozens of states in these regions. In August 1963, he began illegal work in one of the Asian countries, where he was successfully legalized for a long time and created the necessary conditions for conducting intelligence work from illegal positions.[4]

In November 1965, a valuable and reliable agent was transferred to Lokhov for communication, with the help of which, over time, he managed to form an effective agent network. Skillful steps during legalization allowed Vladimir Lokhov, as an illegal resident, to direct the indicated valuable agents and receive important classified materials from her. In 1973 he returned to the USSR, worked as an illegal trainer. In January 1979 he was appointed head of the 1st department (“where the most-classified illegal immigrants worked”, the “illegal immigrants of the center” of the Office “C” of the PSU of the KGB of the USSR), which he headed until 1991. He supervised the activities of the most valuable illegal intelligence officers of the KGB of the USSR, in particular, the work of the legendary pair of intelligence spouses Gevork Andreyevich Vartanyan and Gohar Levonovna Vartanyan. During these years, he directly developed and organized the implementation of many of the most important operations of Soviet intelligence.[5]

Lokhov retired due to his age in July 1991. The Center passed on the experience to the younger generation of scouts. In retirement he lived in Moscow, dying there in 2002. He was buried in the city's Troyekurovskoye Cemetery.[6]

OTTAWA—The marathon election campaign will be a test of more than voters’ patience and attention span.

It will be a test of the Fair Elections Act, the controversial and sweeping legislation that has introduced changes to how Canadians prove they are eligible to vote, the way elections are financed and how voting shenanigans are investigated.

It puts more money in the pockets of political parties for a longer campaign, while capping how much third parties can spend on election advertising.

To its boosters, the changes are a necessary update, motivated in part by the need to guard against voting fraud.

“I think we have a reasonable package that enables everyone to vote while protecting the integrity of the system,” Pierre Poilievre, Conservative candidate and democratic reform minister, told the Star in an interview.

However, critics of the legislation fear some of the changes will leave people in some particular groups — such as students, the homeless and First Nations — unable to vote. Critics argue that many of the changes were deliberately designed to skew the advantage in favour of the Conservatives on Election Day.

“There’s no question it will have an impact in the current election,” said Garry Neil, executive director of the Council of Canadians.

Even Marc Mayrand, the chief electoral officer, has warned that some of the changes “will not serve Canadians well.”

The so-called Fair Elections Act stirred controversy from the moment it was introduced in February 2014. At the time, Poilievre said the law would put “special interests on the sidelines and rule-breakers out of business.”

But academics, students and other concerned groups came forward to warn that the changes would actually make it harder for some Canadians to cast a ballot.

For example, the law prohibits the use of the voter information card as a document that can be used as proof of residency. This has sparked concerns that some voters — notably students living away from home, seniors in long-term care homes and aboriginals — may lack the necessary identification, which must show their address, to vote.

There have also been changes to vouching, where one voter with proper identification could vouch for the identity of another voter at the polling station. An estimated 120,000 Canadians used vouching to vote in 2011.

“We can expect that a significant proportion of them would not be able to vote under the rules proposed,” Mayrand told a parliamentary committee in March 2014.

Mayrand noted that the worry around Canadian elections wasn’t fraud, but declining turnout.

“It is essential to understand that the main challenge for our electoral democracy is not voter fraud, but voter participation,” Mayrand told MPs.

Eliminating vouching and the information card would do little to improve the integrity of the voting process but “have taken away the ability of many qualified electors to vote,” he said.

That concern is echoed by Bilan Arte, national chairwoman of the Canadian Federation of Students, who said young people may lack the necessary ID that shows their identity and address.

That’s because they can find themselves living in two or three locations over the course of a year as they go between home, school and a job.

“The proof of address is particularly a challenge for young people,” Arte said.

In a pilot project in the last election, some 400,000 voters used the voter information card as valid ID. “It’s a very significant piece of ID that is utilized by a lot of Canadians, notably young people,” she told the Star.

Removing the information card as a valid form of ID will make it “significantly more difficult . . . for young people and for those other demographics to be able to participate in the electoral process,” she said.

“The arguments that the government is making is really just smoke and mirrors for an agenda that is about suppressing the votes of young people,” Arte said.

Arte said this is especially worrisome at a time when overall voter turnout is declining — it was 61 per cent in the 2011 election — and is even worse among younger voters.

The students federation and the Council of Canadians went to court seeking an injunction on two key elements of the act — disallowing the use of the voter information card as proof of identification to vote and the removal of vouching.

The legal bid failed but the applicants say they intend to continue their court challenge of the law after the election.

Neil, of the Council of Canadians, said that evidence produced at the injunction hearing suggested that tens of thousands of Canadians could be barred from voting because of the changes introduced by the act.

The groups most vulnerable are youth, First Nations, marginalized people like the homeless and seniors, he said. With the exception of seniors, the others are “far more likely to vote non-Conservative,” he said.

“It is the government of the day, with a majority, which is trying to write election rules that are going to favour that party and their candidates. There’s no question about it,” Neil said.

Neil is also concerned that the new legislation restricts the ability of Elections Canada and the chief electoral officer to speak out on election issues, either to encourage turnout or alert voters to potential troubles, like the misdirecting robocalls of the 2011 vote.

Poilievre downplayed the concerns and said he has no worries that a voter will be left unable to cast a ballot in the coming vote.

“I’m not troubled. I haven’t met anybody who says they’re going to have a problem voting. I’m pretty confident that everybody has some shred of paper with their name on it,” he said.

A driver’s licence alone will suffice. For those lacking a licence, there are more than 40 other possible ways to prove ID — a voter would have to show two pieces of accepted ID and one must show his or her current address.

“I think we’re in good shape,” Poilievre said.

He also defended the restrictions on Elections Canada’s ability to speak out.

“I think it’s probably in the interests of the agency to focus its communications on the nuts and bolts of voting and leave the rest to civil society and political parties. The role of Elections Canada is to inform and the role of political actors is to motivate the voter,” Poilievre said.

Arte said the student federation, which represents more than 500,000 people nationwide, is working to boost student participation in the upcoming vote by hosting candidates’ debates on campuses and pressing the political parties to engage on issues important to young people, like post-secondary education.

She said the federation is working to improve awareness among students on how they can vote.

“We’re doing our best to ensure that young people are getting to the polls and are able to navigate a system that has thus far been designed to make it harder for them to vote,” Arte said.

ELECTION DAY BY THE NUMBERS

60,000: Number of ballot boxes

20,000: Number of polling locations

120,000: Minimum number of polling station staff, with 250,000 staff retained for the election.

$375 million: Elections Canada’s budget for the election, based on 37-day campaign. The actual cost will be higher.

5 CONCERNS ABOUT THE FAIR ELECTIONS ACT

1. Voter information card: The law prohibits the use of the voter information card as a document that can be used as proof of residency. This has sparked concerns that some voters — notably students living away from home, seniors in long-term care homes and aboriginals — may lack the necessary ID showing their address needed to vote.

2. Vouching: Previously, one voter with proper identification could vouch for the identity of another at the polling station. The Conservatives had originally wanted to ban the practice outright but softened their stance after criticism the move would prevent some Canadians — an estimated 120,000, according to Elections Canada — from voting. Now voters will still require some ID to prove their identity but can have another elector vouch for their address.

3. Advance polls: Canadians will have an extra day to vote in advance polls. The act sets out four advance polling days — 10, nine, eight and seven days in advance of Election Day. That means Canadians can vote on Thanksgiving weekend.

4. Elections Canada: Critics say the law limits what the independent agency can publicly say about elections, such as efforts to encourage voter turnout. In the face of criticism, the Conservatives loosened the leash a bit but the head of Elections Canada is still limited to speaking on five topics: how to become a candidate; how to get on the list of electors; how to vote; what is needed to vote; and the services available to assist voters with disabilities.

5. Finances: The act allows political parties to spend more if campaigns go longer than 37 days, a big factor in the current 78-day campaign. That means the political parties running candidates in all 338 federal ridings could spend up to $54.5 million, up from $25 million allowed in a 37-day campaign. That gives an advantage to the deep-pocketed Conservatives. At the same time, the act imposes spending limits on third parties on election advertising — in this longer campaign, the third-party limits are $439,410 and $8,788 per riding.

It is bankrolled by Dil Raju on his banner Sri Venkateswara Creations with Sharwanand and Samantha Akkineni in the lead roles. It was released on 7 February 2020. The film revolves around the reunion of former students from a 2004 batch class fifteen years after their graduation. The reunion also serves as an opportunity for two former lovers, Ram and Janu, to resolve issues surrounding their breakup. The movie received positive reviews and praises were poured over Samantha's and Sharwanand's performances by critics.[1]

Plot

K. Ramachandra aka Ram (Sharwanand) is a travel photographer. He visits his high school and is overcome by memories. So, a reunion is arranged through their school WhatsApp group. At the reunion, his friends Murali (Vennela Kishore), Subhashini (Saranya Pradeep) and Sathish (Ramesh) catch up with him. Murali hesitantly mentions that Jaanu is coming from Singapore.

Ram and Jaanu have been friends and classmates in tenth grade. Jaanu is a talented singer. Ram develops a love for Jaanu and she reciprocates. Once their board exams are over, they have a moment with each other where Jaanu asks him not to forget her until they meet again after the holidays.

Jaanu (Samantha Akkineni) arrives at the reunion and searches for Ram. When Subha points Ram's location to her, Jaanu walks towards him. She reminisces the first day of 11th grade when she eagerly awaits Ram's arrival to the classroom, but he doesn't show up. She finds that Ram has left the school because his father had financial difficulties and his family relocated to Hyderabad overnight. Jaanu is inconsolable and pines for Ram until she completes school.

Ram and Jaanu finally meet, but their first interactions are awkward, but later improve. Their friends talk about Jaanu's married life in Singapore and disclose that Ram is still single and has not moved on. After the reunion party, both go out on a drive. Jaanu reveals how she could not forget Ram and would have traded anything just to have met him once back then. She narrates how circumstances forced her to marry someone else. Then, Ram asks Jaanu if she really does not remember the day he came to her college to meet her. Ram says that he and Murali waited in front of Jaanu's college to meet her and passed on a message through a student. Surprisingly, Jaanu refused to meet Ram and forbade him to contact her again. He returned sadly and never tried to meet her since then. Jaanu is devastated listening to this and reveals that she never saw them at her college and thought it was her stalker who was troubling her. Ram tells that except for the mistake of assuming that she hated him, he knew everything about her life. He also tells about seeing her from afar at her wedding. Jaanu is heartbroken because she felt his presence and expected him to come for her until the last minute. Both feel sad about their misfortune and finally come to terms with everything that happened in their lives. Jaanu expresses her desire to spend the final few hours with Ram before she catches the flight back home.

They go out into the city and then to a restaurant and catch up on more memories. There, they meet Ram's photography students who assume Jaanu is his wife and request her to share their story. Jaanu obliges and narrates an improvised version of the time when Ram tried to meet Jaanu at her college. She tells about how they finally met and made up and have been together ever since and got married. Ram feels awkward but tries his best to play along. The students leave, but the rain soaks Ram and Jaanu. So he asks her to visit his apartment to freshen up.

At his apartment, Jaanu is visibly upset that Ram does not have a love life and requests him to move on, marry, and have a family. She finally sings Ram's favorite song for him, a song that she had purposefully avoided singing in school in spite of his repeated requests. Ram shows Jaanu a collection of their old memories like love poems, dried flowers and their school uniforms. They have little time and return to Jaanu's hotel to prepare for her flight in a few hours. Jaanu is sad knowing that she will leave Hyderabad and Ram very soon. At the airport, Ram escorts her till the boarding gate and they bid a teary farewell. Jaanu then departs.

Back at his home, Ram finds Jaanu's clothes that he had put to dry the previous night. He folds them neatly, puts them along with his treasured collection of school memories, and shuts the suitcase and the screen cuts to black.

Manoj Kumar of _The New Indian Express_ wrote that ''Jaanu did not pull me in by surprise like the original Tamil movie. It felt like I was sitting in a revision class. But, I am thankful that the remake did not dishonour the memory of _96_.''

Rama Kumar writing for _Samayam_ said that Jaanu is faithful to its original and recreated the music of the original well giving 3 out of 5.[16] \

_Gulte_ gave 3 out of 5 saying that Prem Kumar was assigned the job to remake his flawless original and he has made sure to keep it a faithful remake.

Disputes

thumb|upright=1.35|right|South China Sea claims and agreements. Parts of China's Nine-Dash Line overlap Indonesia's exclusive economic zone near the Natuna islands. Indonesia believes China's claim over parts of the Natuna islands has no legal basis. In November 2015, Indonesia's security chief Luhut Panjaitan said Indonesia could take China before an international court if Beijing's claim to the majority of the South China Sea and part of Indonesian territory is not resolved through dialogue.[6]

The Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Brunei and Indonesia have all officially protested over the use of such a line.[7]

On 26 May 2020, Indonesia sent a formal letter to the United Nations which said “Indonesia reiterates that the Nine-Dash line map implying historic rights claim clearly lacks international legal basis and is tantamount to upsetting UNCLOS 1982,” “As a State Party to UNCLOS 1982, Indonesia has consistently called for the full compliance toward international law, including UNCLOS 1982. Indonesia hereby declares that it is not bound by any claims made in contravention to international law, including UNCLOS 1982,"[8]

Egyptian archaeologists have discovered what’s thought to be the largest granite sarcophagus ever found in Alexandria, measuring nearly nine feet long.

The massive stone casket was buried more than 16 feet beneath the surface alongside a huge alabaster head – likely belonging to the man who owned the tomb.

Experts say the ancient coffin has remained untouched since its burial thousands of years ago during the Ptolemaic period.

According to the archaeologists who led the dig, the black granite sarcophagus stands at 185 centimeters tall (6 feet), 265cm long (8.6 ft), and 165 cm wide (5.4 ft). It's said to be the largest ever found in Alexandria

Researchers working under the Supreme Council of Antiquities discovered the ancient tomb during an excavation in the Sidi Gaber district of Alexandria.

The team was inspecting a resident’s land ahead of digs planned for the foundation of his building at Al-Karmili Street when they stumbled upon the remarkable Ptolemaic burial 5 meters deep.

The Ptolemaic period lasted roughly 300 years, from 332-30 BCE, making this particular site more than 2,000 years old.

According to the archaeologists who led the dig, the black granite sarcophagus stands at 185 centimeters tall (6 feet), 265cm long (8.6 ft), and 165 cm wide (5.4 ft).

A layer of mortar identified between the lid and body of the stone coffin indicates it has not been opened since it was sealed off, says Dr. Ayman Ashmawy, Head of the Ancient Egyptian Antiquities Sector.

Just who is buried inside, however – and the identity of the man in the alabaster carving – remains a mystery.

Back in May, the Antiquities Ministry announced the discovery of yet another Ptolemaic find.

The team unearthed the ruins of a huge Roman bath at the San El-Hagar archaeological site.

Alongside the 52-foot-long red brick structure, archaeologists also found pottery vessels, terracotta statues, bronze tools, a chunk of engraved stone, and a statue of a ram.

The most remarkable artifact, however, is among the smallest.

A gold coin depicting the face of King Ptolemy III, a 3rd century BCE ruler said to be an ancestor of Cleopatra, was also discovered at the site.

WHAT IS EGYPT'S VALLEY OF THE KINGS?

The Valley of the Kings in upper Egypt is one of the country's main tourist attractions and is the famous burial ground of many deceased pharaohs.

It is located near the ancient city of Luxor on the banks of the river Nile in eastern Egypt - 300 miles (500km) away from the pyramids of Giza, near Cairo.

The majority of the pharaohs of the 18th to 20th dynasties, who ruled from 1550 to 1069 BC, rested in the tombs which were cut into the local rock.

The royal tombs are decorated with scenes from Egyptian mythology and give clues as to the beliefs and funerary rituals of the period.

The majority of the pharaohs of the 18th to 20th dynasties, who ruled from 1550 to 1069 BC, rested in the tombs which were cut into the local rock. Pictured are statues of goddesses at the site

Almost all of the tombs were opened and looted centuries ago, but the sites still give an idea of the opulence and power of the Pharaohs.

The most famous pharaoh at the site is Tutankhamun, whose tomb was discovered in 1922.

Preserved to this day, in the tomb are original decorations of sacred imagery from, among others, the Book of Gates or the Book of Caverns.

These are among the most important funeral texts found on the walls of ancient Egyptian tombs.

According tothe Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities, the coin was made during the reign of King Ptolemy IV, in memory of his father.

It measures 2.6 centimeters across, and weighs roughly 28 grams. On the side opposite the portrait, letters translating to ‘Land of Prosperity’ were engraved, along with the name of the king.

The huge red brick building was likely part of a Greco-Roman era bath, says Dr. Ayman Ashmawy, Head of the Ancient Egyptian Antiquities.

It is roughly 16 meters long and 3.5 meters wide.

As work continues at the archaeological site, the researchers hope to uncover more details about the building and its function many centuries ago.

Excavations over the last few years have unearthed countless remarkable artifacts from ancient Egypt, which the country hopes will spur tourism to the area.

question: What is the Valley of the Kings?

answer: It is a valley where many of Egypt's kings are buried, located near the ancient city of Luxor. Many of the kings buried there are from the 18th to the 20th dynasties, ruling from 1150 to 1069 BC. One of the better known kings from this era is Tutankhamun, due to the fact that his tomb was discovered intact in 1922. However, many more famous kings were buried in the valley, but their tombs were raided on account of their importance.

DRUK TSENDEN (, ; The Thunder Dragon Kingdom") is the national anthem of Bhutan. Adopted in 1953, the anthem was composed by the Venerable Dorji Lopen _Dolop Droep Namgay_ of Talo, Punakha and possibly translated into English by Dasho Gyaldun Thinley. The accompanying music, as you hear it today is by Aku Tongmi.[1]

History

Despite claims made in Brozovic's _Enciklopedija_ (1999) and many subsequent authors, who attribute the authorship of this most sacred national compilation to the late _Gyaldun_, father of the (now) former Prime Minister Jigme Y. Thinlay (2008–2013), there are many who believe that the words and the national anthem itself were penned by none other than the much learned and Venerable Dorji Lopen _Dolop Droep Namgay_ of Talo, Punakha. The _Dorji Lopen_ is the senior-most of the four senior Lopens in Bhutan's religious establishment, and often serves as the Deputy Je Khenpo. _Dolop Droep Namgay_, given his extensive knowledge and wisdom, maintained close personal and working relations with the Third King of Bhutan Jigme Dorji Wangchuck (1929–1972), during whose reign, _Gyaldun Thinley_ served in various capacities.

It is possible that _Gyaldun Thinlay_ may have been involved in working closely with _Dolop Droep Namgay_ as well as translating the sacred words into English. It is also highly likely that he (and/or his son Jigme Y. Thinlay who served in many important government and political capacities since the 1990s) was one of the persons of first contact for Dalibor Brozovic and any such claims made therein, remained part of Bhutan's history, with little or no investigative work done thereon. However, as to the claims that this beautiful ode to this great nation could have originated, much less penned by _Gyaldun Thinley_, who, despite his rise through the ranks and importance to Bhutan's history, is not much known for his knowledge or learning, is not viewed favorably or seriously by many. _Dolop Droep Namgay_ on the other hand, through oral tellings again, is renowned for both learning and wisdom.

He is also attributed (under the guidance and specific command of His Majesty The Third King Jigme Dorji Wangchuck) to have designed, named and conveyed the significance of many important national symbols and emblems - most of which are commonly known but not as well documented. Examples are the titles and insignias of the various ranks in the armed forces - Makpoen, Lingpoen, Drimpoen, etc. which translate into General, Lieutenant, Sergeant and so on for the three groups of Bhutan's armed forces, the Royal Bhutan Army, the Royal Bhutan Police and the Royal Body Guards. Furthermore, these titles and insignias are believed to be derived from an extensive research and study of the _Namthar of Ling Gesar_ (Biography of King Gesar) by the learned Lopen Namgay. Most of these refutations are not documented. They are oral tellings from older to the younger generation. A more thorough and academic investigation may be necessary to determine the true origins of the _Druk Tsendhen_; be it a lay civil servant or a learned high-monk.

Tongmi was educated in India and had recently been appointed leader of the military brass band when the need for an anthem rose at the occasion of a state visit from Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru of India. His original score was inspired by the Bhutanese folk tune “The Unchanging Lotus Throne” (_Thri nyampa med pa pemai thri_). The melody has twice undergone changes by Tongmi's successors as band leaders. The original lyrics were 12 lines, but was shortened to the present six-line version in 1964 by a secretary to the king.[2]

As the anthem is inspired by a folk tune, there is a choreography to it as well, originally directed by Tongmi.[3][4]

Lyrics

The lyrics to the national anthem are inscribed in the Constitution of Bhutan.[5]

Picture this. You’re 16 with a hot girlfriend. You’re doing well at school – almost too well. Your maths teacher thinks you’re some sort of prodigy. U r in the top 4 for your accelerated HSC course.

&#x200B;

But then it strikes. Depression. You have grown apart from your girlfriend. You can’t study for your trial hsc exam. You have an emotional breakdown after your interview with the air force.

&#x200B;

Suddenly it’s the morning of your trial hsc exam. You haven’t studied. You just…couldn’t.

Do you know what I’m doing here in the bathroom?

You do realise my life is over…right?

&#x200B;

Yeah my parents noticed the rope burn on my neck. I was just in a hospital room with my dad for half an hour waiting to get into the youth mental health section of the hospital. He had this blank expression on his face – like he was unable to even comprehend what had just happened.

&#x200B;

That section for youth here is called Nexus. The other teens ask me about the burn on my neck. They think I have depression. I meet some interesting people, but I spend a large proportion of my time planning my future suicide.

&#x200B;

I leave Nexus. I’m still badly suicidal a month later. I’m going to a private hospital with a mental health section primarily designed for adults. A family friend gets me in.

&#x200B;

I get a diagnosis. Psychosis. I swear I almost instantly start feeling better. Weird. Thank you alan.

&#x200B;

I gradually get better. Lose weight, make friends, kiss girls. I’m back at school, I make the decision to repeat.

&#x200B;

I leave high school with a 94 atar and I plan to do engineering. I was a binge drinker during the hsc, and with all the spare time post hsc I decide to start smoking weed with mates.

This would turn out to be arguably the worst decision of my life.

&#x200B;

I spend most of my adult life with some combination of mental illnesses or in recovery. I spend too much of my time trying not to kill myself, too much time smoking pot, and not enough time doing things that were actually good for me

&#x200B;

I experience depression so bad I feel like my heart has fallen out of my chest, and in hindsight I honestly don’t know if anyone could feel sadder than I did for nearly a year 4 years ago.

My mind is absorbed with delusions – those bizarre, some paranoid, even some potentially erotomanic ones.

&#x200B;

I go through about 4 or 5 cycles of smoking weed, getting addicted and then becoming depressed and psychotic.

I hate it. I love weed – I still do. But it is ruining my life. I eventually learn how to quit. I’ve now been clean for over 13 months, that’s double my previous record.

&#x200B;

And now I study psych – but what have I learnt in the real world. People don’t get help when they could really benefit from it.

Trying to kill myself when I was 16 was the the most fucked up thing I’ve ever done, but it was also the best decision I’ve ever made.

Every time I realise I’m unwell, or perhaps my parents notice, I go see a gp and get a referral from a psych. I get like 10 or 12 free visits a year. It’s that fucking easy.

And you want to know the truth. I have experienced periods of anhedonia in recovery, where I feel so little pleasure, that I spend a whole week looking forward to talking to my psych. It is literally and undeniably the highlight of my week and even my month.

I’m not sure if I can explain why – or if I even know why – but that shit was part of what saved me man, and so many people just don’t make that first step to try and see a psych, when its really not hard or expensive, and it can really help.

So I guess that’s the point of this. Just get the referral man – or get your friend to if you notice your friend procrastinating it. Cause maybe one day they’ll do what I did when I was 16, and for the rest of your life you will feel this immeasurable but distinct feeling in your gut…this guilt.

Their death would in no way be your fault, but what if you convinced them to see that psych.

Food for thought.

Mike paced the room over and over again checking that he had covered for every eventuality.  “What if Sharon does just want to just have a quick drink and a chat”, he thought.  “that’s fine, that’s what I promised her anyway, after all, we are trying to be mates, huh, friends, Mike said to himself, whilst all along knowing, hoping, that when they got together the chemistry he so clearly felt, the likeminded flirty thoughts they enjoyed sharing during their text messaging, would bubble up and become a physical reality.

The 8 minutes 30 seconds that it took for Sharon to be driven to the hotel seemed like an eternity. The sudden knock at the door made him jump and made his heart race.  Oh god, he thought, is this a good idea? She might take one look at me and realise that fantasy is one thing, reality is another? Calm down, calm down, deep breathes, he told himself out load.

Taking a final look around the room to make sure that it was not overly romantic or too presumptuous in its setting, Mike walked to the door and peeped through the spyhole.  Oh god, there she is, even more gorgeous in the flesh than he had remembered.

With his knees like jelly, his head spinning and his insides all gooey :-), Mike opened the door.

Hi, said Sharon, her face warming to a soft crimson colour. This only served to enhance her beauty, drawing Mikes gaze to her bright, deep and smiling eyes. Trying to say hello back, Mike, stammered and in turn felt the heat rise in his cheeks.  “Come in, I’m really glad you were brave enough to accept my invitation” he eventually managed say.

Attempting a polite air kiss to the side of Sharon’s cheek, Mike tripped on her foot and clumsily stumbled forward pressing her against the corridor wall. For the briefest of moments the friends looked deep into each other’s eyes, allowed a small sigh, of what could have been pleasure, to escape them, before bursting into a fit of laughter and giggles.

To be continued….

THE BOOK OF DAVE

     In the beginning, Dave created a bunch of stuff like the earth, water, animals, and humans. He thought "Meh, it's cool I guess...", and then he pretty much sat back and watched everything unfold, chillin' like a villain and taking many forms. Mostly though he liked to be a plastic dove. He saw all his creations screw up the world he created, and it pissed him off pretty badly. He thought for centuries about how he could save the world he put so little effort into creating.

     One day, in the late 1990's he came up with a plan. It was about time too, because the world he created was in pretty pitiful condition by this time. He set out to create 5 strong men who would spread his holy name. One of them appearing to be a heretic, but obviously a believer. One of them a natural born leader to guide the prophets. One of them tall and strong willed and convert others. One of them with great musical talents with which to sing and play instruments in the name of Dave, and the last one. Dave's only son. He arranged so that these men would one day come together and use their own talents to spread the word of Dave.

     These young men grew and realized their talents (except for the son of Dave, who had a hard time because he had not yet recognized his true purpose in life). They misused their talents, however, because they did not know that their destiny was the destiny that Dave set for them. They would know in the future that Dave needed them to rid the world of ignorance and stupidity. It would take time, though, for them to be ready for the task at hand.

     By the time these 5 young men were ready for their destiny, the world was even worse than it was before. There had been terrorist attacks, wars, destruction in massive proportions. They were indeed ready at the last minute. The 5 boys had grown to be good friends, and were like family. One day, fate brought them all together, and set them on a journey that would open their eyes to the truth. Open their eyes to Dave.

    They found themselves in their leader's house, discussing the most important of current events, politics, economics, history, and other things of the like. Then, as fate may have it, they embarked on a journey. They started with a trip to a local general store to purchase liquid refreshment, and to win the heart of a fair maiden. They failed miserably at the winning the heart part, but succeeded in buying refreshments. They also caused the son of Dave to smudge a dipping sauce on his trousers. They then headed to a larger store to buy him a new pair of trousers.

     They failed in their quest to acquire new trousers, but had good hearty laughs and made the son wear clothes meant for girls. However, it was here that they discovered The Great Dave. They found him in his usual form, a plastic bird, perched upon a raised surface. They were drawn to him, and immediately knew that it was to be theirs. They did not know why, but they knew it must be.

     They purchased the plastic bird, took him home, and immediately idolized him. They knew that his name was to be Dave, and that he was of great importance. The boys did not truly understand that Dave was of much more importance until much later. The day after their trip to the store, their land was ice-ridden. The plants outside were enveloped in a solid sheet of ice, and the roads were only traversible by foot, because none of their automobiles were equipped to operate on the ice-covered roads.

     The young men grew hungry, and weary of being held inside their home, and by the will of Dave, which they still failed to recognize, decided to embark on a long journey to obtain cheap, delicious food. They left their home and started down the road, talking and laughing, unaware of the great events that awaited them. They would soon find out the true purpose of what was happening.

     They noticed a bird that looked exactly like their plastic bird that was perched upon a telephone wire. Then they realized that this, in fact, WAS their bird, but in the form of a living version of it's plastic form, guarding them, and guiding them. They then began to realize that they had a greater purpose in this journey, and that Dave was more than a mere plastic bird.

     They began to have revelations and realizations that Dave placed in their minds. They came to the conclusion that Dave was the true God, and that they were prophets, since they were the only ones who realized this truth. They then realized that the one with no apparent useful talent must have been the son of Dave, because of the hardships he faced and trials and tribulations. They realized that since he had no talent to offer Dave, he didn't require one, because him simply being among the other prophets was enough to please Dave.

     Then came their true sign that they were led by The Great and Powerful Dave. They noticed on the side of the path a beautiful sight. A useless, disappointing, fresh, beautiful sight. They knew in their hearts that Dave put this there for them, that he loved them, and that he wanted them to cleanse the world of the wrongness that had befallen it.

The Reds suffered a 2-1 defeat to Manchester United in their latest outing, with a disappointing display at Old Trafford frustrating all concerned

Jurgen Klopp admits he is feeling “massively rubbish” after seeing mistakes cost Liverpool in a 2-1 defeat to arch-rivals Manchester United.

The Reds headed to Old Trafford in confident mood and perched just two points behind their old adversaries in the Premier League table.

They were, however, to end the weekend five points adrift of the Red Devils and down in fourth spot after being put to the sword by a deadly double from Marcus Rashford.

Klopp concedes that his side made life difficult for themselves in a heavyweight encounter, with the fall-out from a disappointing defeat frustrating all concerned.

He told Liverpool’s _official website_: “It’s really difficult to take. The mistakes were obvious - around the second balls we were not there and we cannot leave Dejan alone in the challenge there and nobody’s around for the second ball. It doesn’t work like this.

“Romelu Lukaku is strong in these challenges, so if you cannot avoid the long ball then you have to be there to help your mate for the second ball. We didn’t, so that was the problem around the two goals [and] they could use these situations.

“Before the two goals, after the two goals, I thought we were dominant. We don’t ignore the goals we conceded, but if you ignore them for a second you would say, ‘OK, that’s how you have to play’.

“Don’t take too much risk, you pass, you come around the touchline, you have the crosses, you have the set-pieces, you have the finishes from distance, 18 yards, all these things. We had these things in pretty much all moments, but we didn’t score.

“Because we put pressure on ourselves obviously, that is not helpful for your confidence if you are 2-0 down at Manchester. So we passed, crossed a few balls that were not too good but [then] we found our way back on track minute by minute and second half we chased the game really.

[Jurgen Klopp massively rubbish]

“I think we deserved the goal and then it was the situation with the best piece of football in the whole game, the one-two between Roberto and Sadio and a clear foul and no penalty. That’s hard, but not to change anymore.

“I think with all the minutes around the two goals we conceded then a draw would have been deserved for us, but because we made these two mistakes we have to take the result like it is.

“It feels massively rubbish and that’s not nice. We will carry on, of course, but in the moment it’s a big disappointment.”

Liverpool will have had a week to get over that disappointment by the time they take to the field again, with Watford due at Anfield for their next outing on Saturday.

question: What does the article say about what Klopp says about Manchester United Liverpool match?

answer: Jurgen Klopp is displeased with the mistakes that cost Liverpool in a 2-1 defeat to Manchester United. He says that around the second ball, they were not there and they should have not left Dejan alone in the challenge there. He thinks they put pressure on themselves, which was not helpful for confidence when they were 2-0 down at Manchester.

_More than a decade ago, a guy named Jayson Musson, then a Philly art student, got into a bloody fight with a guy who'd been painting over his graffiti around town. He wrote a song about the fight, and last year, it was sampled into a new song, called "Harlem Shake." This month, piggybacking onto an idea hatched by a weirdo video blogger, thousands of people uploaded clips of themselves dancing along with "Harlem Shake." It's a lot to take in, so here's the whole story of how Musson's lyric made it into a producer named Baauer's hands, and how Baauer's song ended up in a million videos._

WHERE THE FUCK DID ALL THESE "HARLEM SHAKE" VIDEOS COME FROM?

Since the beginning of February, people have been sharing 30-second videos soundtracked by Baauer's track "Harlem Shake" (coincidentally, premiered on this site last May) at an astonishing rate. Reportedly, as many as 4,000 videos have been uploaded in a single day, and in two weeks, more than 12,000 videos have been created, generating more than 44 million total views. In a "Harlem Shake" video, a person, usually masked, thrusts along with the music while others mundanely go about their day-to-day. Then, when the *drop* drops, action explodes: people change costumes, remove their shirts and generally lose it. If you haven't seen them already: here's FADER Label's Matt & Kim wilding with fans at a concert and the UGA swim team flopping around underwater.

WHOSE IDEA WAS THE "HARLEM SHAKE" VIDEO IN THE FIRST PLACE?

Filthy Frank, a 19-year-old currently studying communications in New York who has about 13,000 subscribers on YouTube. Reached by phone, he explained the genesis of his "Harlem Shake" video, the one that started it all. "I was in a room with a few people. One of my friends was just playing the song on the speakers and I asked what [it was], and it just happened to be 'Harlem Shake.' As soon as the drop of the song came, we just started going crazy. We thought, well, we could turn this in to something good." Frank started making videos as a hobby when he was 12, and sounds almost disappointed that this particular video, which he says took about three days to inspire more successful imitators, was the one to leave such a mark. "I guess I'm proud [of starting the meme]. It's a shame, that was probably the video I put the least amount of work into. [But] I'm very happy it got that kind of exposure. I think I got just enough credit. At first I was upset, like, what's going on, I made this. I already had a fan base before, as Filthy Frank, and [my followers] were concerned that I was gonna hit the mainstream big time. They were upset about me going viral. I realized not getting that much publicity was better 'cause I have a dedicated cult following, and I would lose their respect." Frank wasn't a big Baauer fan before making his video, and says he still isn't. "That was probably the first song I'd heard by Baauer," he said. "I listen to a lot of hip-hop and a lot of jazz. I'm not really into music like Baauer's, I just thought that song was cool."

WHO IS BAAUER?

Baauer, born Harry Rodrigues, is a 23-year-old Brooklyn-based producer. He spent time living in London, as a tween he aspired to be a turntablist, later he DJed house records and started making house tracks on Reason. A couple years ago, he says, "I tried out making a hip-hop song one time after sucking at making house music for a long time…it felt really natural. I really liked cutting up sample and trying to vary hip-hop beats." He posted "two pages" of Soundcloud tracks before Rustie featured "Harlem Shake" on his popular BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix last April; in May, Mad Decent imprint Jefrees released "Harlem Shake" as a single. For all his sample-snipping and interest in rap beats, Baauer's become associated with what's been called "trap" music, a style of production similar to mainstream EDM, which mixes dubstep drops with rap's artillery fire drum programming. The sub-genre spread in 2012 thanks to artists like Baauer, TNGHT and Flosstradamus, labels like Jefrees and various music outlets. Much has been written exploring the origin and impact of last year's crop of "trap" producers; for more, start with Miles Raymer's feature for the _Chicago Reader_ and David Drake's article for _Complex_.

BUT ISN'T THE HARLEM SHAKE ALREADY A DANCE? WHY ISN'T ANYONE IN THE VIDEOS DOING IT?

It is, and it's hard to say. The original Harlem Shake rose to prominence in music videos throughout the '90s and early '00s, notably G-Dep's "Let's Get It." In 2003, Al B, a fixture around Harlem's Rucker Park playground, took credit for inventing the dance. He said he started shaking in the early '80s, mimicking the shakes of alcoholics, and that the dance was first called "the albee," after his name. He claimed the Harlem Shake's origins were ancient."That's what the mummies used to do," he told Inside Hoops. "They was all wrapped up and taped up. So they couldn't really move, all they could do was shake." Some say Al B's dance traces back to Eskista, a dance originated in Northeast Africa. But, as Harlem residents have expressed, there's no good reason why the stars of popular "Harlem Shake" videos aren't doing the actual Harlem Shake. Actor and amateur filmmaker Chris McGuire screened "Harlem Shake" videos on 125th street and asked passerbys what they thought. The general consensus, as communicated by the McGuire's February 18th video? "That's not the shake, B."

IF IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE DANCE, WHY IS BAUUER'S TRACK EVEN CALLED "HARLEM SHAKE"?

That's really the most interesting part. It's because of something Jayson Musson, a member of the early-oughts Philadelphia party rap crew Plastic Little, did at the end of a fight with a rival graffiti writer. Baauer's "Harlem Shake" samples a line—_then do the Harlem shake_—from Plastic Little's 2001 song "Miller Time." Over email, Musson, now a New York-based artist best known as Hennessy Youngman, told the incredible origin story of the meme's title-inspiring lyric:

  The lyric came about as a result of getting into a fist fight over graffiti back in 2001, the same year that "Miller Time" was made. A friend of mine told me this kid was crossing me out, so logically I began crossing him out. Then one night after a [Plastic Little] show, I heard that the writer I had issue with was waiting to see me outside the venue. So I head outside with Kurt [Hunte], who is also in Plastic Little, to I guess talk with this guy. As I walk outside, I hear someone call me by my graffiti name so I turn to see who it is, only to be greeted by a 40 bottle to the face. Despite sneaking his opponent with a bottle, this kid got his ass beat (he was really bad at fighting). After several minutes, I got pretty bored with throwing punches so I grabbed him by his collar and tried to put his head through the passenger side window of a parked car. It didn't go through luckily, but it created a lull in the fight where the two of us just stared at each other covered in blood. This was my first fight and I didn't know how to properly "end" a fight, so I just smiled at him and did the Harlem shake, blood gushing from glass cuts on my face. The other kid, I guess not wanting to fight anymore, or maybe not wanting to fight someone who just danced at him, got on his skateboard and took off without his shoes. That's why "Miller Time" ends with the line, _And if you bring a 40 bottle to battle me/ I'll just punch you in the face/ then do the Harlem Shake_.

Musson realized "Miller Time" was sampled by Baauer last week, half a year after "Harlem Shake"’s initial release, when the meme took off and Plastic Little's Kurt Hunte pointed it out. "I didn't believe him at first because I had heard the song and never even thought twice about the vocal sample, " Musson says. "The only thing I found peculiar about the track was the use of the phrase 'Harlem Shake' itself. I was like, Who the fuck is rapping about the Harlem Shake in 2012? That shit is so old." He's not mad that Baauer didn't ask permission for the sample. "I'm cool with it," Musson says. "That's how artists do… I think the production is phenomenal. If I was the spry young man I was many years ago back in my rapping days, I'd definitely be at the club trying grind up on numerous lady folk to his song while spilling Maker's Mark and ginger ale on their shoulders. But I'm a Buddhist now."

Musson made contact with Baauer recently, and Baauer confirmed using "Miller Time." Their exchange was captured on Instagram by Musson, who explains, "I just emailed him to make sure it was actually Plastic Little and to thank him for doing something useful with our annoying music. He was a stellar young gentleman about it and expressed genuine surprise that his song got as big as it did." Musson's similarly impressed with the videos: "I never thought that white people would be capable of dethroning Filipino Prison Dancers on YouTube. But hey, we're living in Obama's America, right?"

WHERE'D BAAUER GET THE SONG'S OTHER PROMINENT SAMPLE, OF SOMEONE YELLING _CON LOS TERRORISTAS_?

The story of the _terroristas_ sample is expectedly convoluted. In a since-deleted blog post, DJ Apt One, of the Philly DJ duo Philadelphyinz, explained his "small role" in the song's creation. The sample first emerged in 2010, employed as part of a Philadelphyinz remix of Gregor Salto, DJ Gregory and Solo’s track “Con Alegria.” In 2011, that vocal sample was made available, a cappella, as part of _T&A Breaks 3: Moombahton Loops & Samples_, a compilation put together by DJ Ayres and Tittsworth. Baauer, who spent time living in Philly while working under the name Cap’nHarry and DJed at least once with Philadelphyinz, used the sample (presumably pulled from the T&A collection) and sent DJ Apt One the track in 2012. "We all appreciated the local incestuousness of ["Harlem Shake"'s] creation," wrote Apt One. "I can't be happier for Philly and for Baauer getting some shine!" On a February 18th Reddit AMA, Baauer dodged a question about the sample, saying only: "found it on the innerweb."

HOW DOES BAAUER FEEL ABOUT ALL THIS?

Not bad. At first, he endorsed a number of "Harlem Shake" videos via retweet, but remained otherwise tight-lipped about the song's delayed success. On February 14th, a rep said, "He's deliberately not talking about it yet," and that he would "be making a statement next week." Baauer started talking on February 18th, first telling The Daily Beast, "I think ["Harlem Shake"] caught on because it’s a goofy, fun song...But at the base of it, it’s my song and it’s making people want to dance. That’s the best feeling in the world to me," then answering questions on Reddit.

SINCE VIDEOS WITH HIS SONG IN THEM HAVE RACKED UP SO MANY VIEWS, IS BAAUER MAKING A TON OF MONEY FROM YOUTUBE NOW?

It's hard to say. Yesterday, Mad Decent label manager Jasper Goggins told _Billboard_ "Harlem Shake" is the "biggest thing we've released on Mad Decent as a label." As of yesterday afternoon, INDmusic, the company Mad Decent hired in 2012 to help monetize YouTube videos that use the label's songs, has used YouTube's Content ID system to tag over 4,000 YouTubes featuring "Harlem Shake," together collecting over 30 million views. It's possible that Baauer stands to make a nice bit of that money from those views, but according to record labels interviewed for this recent _Guardian_ article, artists don't always make very much from these deals. The song has certaintly seen a big digital sales boost—it's currently #1 on iTunes in the US and climbing internationally—but his rep says Baauer will profit most from his mostly sold out tour.

question: What is the story of Harlem Shake?

answer: The original Harlem Shake used to be prominent in music videos in the '90s and early '00s. Harlem Rucker Park's fixture Al B claimed he invented it in the early '80s, commenting that the actual origins date back to mummies. Then, Bauuer (Harry Rodrigues, 23, producer) had a fight with a member of the early '00s Philadelphia party rap crew Plastic Little. At the end of their fight, not knowing how to end it, Bauuer ended up grabbing and hitting Plastic Little to a car, did the shake in the lull. Thus, the lyrics to his song "Miller Time" end with "I'll just punch you in the face / then do the Harlem Shake." The current meme, where people lose their shit at the drop of Bauuer's song, started with Filthy Frank, 19, doing that with his friends in a YouTube video. The video ended up being exceptionally popular with more prominent figures doing the dance.
