Nana (chief)
Kas-tziden (“Broken Foot”) or Haškɛnadɨltla (“Angry, He is Agitated”), more widely known by his Mexican-Spanish appellation Nana (“grandma” or “lullaby”) (1800? – 1896), was a warrior and chief of the Chihenne band (better known as Warm Springs Apache) of the Chiricahua Apache. In the 1850s and 1860s he was one of the best known leaders of the Bedonkohe and Chihenne, along with Tudeevia (Dudeevia, better known as Delgadito - “Little Thin”, “Skinny”),Cuchillo Negro, Ponce and Loco (“crazy”, “mad”). He was a nephew of Delgadito, and married a sister of Geronimo.
Early Fights
He fought alongside Mangas Coloradas and his mixed Chihenne-Bedonkohe band until Mangas was killed whilst in the custody of the California militia in January 1863. In Mexico he also undertook many joint raids with the Nednhi of Juh and Natiza against the Mexicans. After Ponce, Cuchillo Negro and Delgadito were killed too, Victorio took over the Chihenne leadership, joined by the leaderless Bedonkohe. Nana, although at least 20 years older than Victorio, married the latters elder sister, cementing his position as a leader.

Nana (1926 film)
Nana (1926) is Jean Renoir's second full-length silent film and is based on the novel by Émile Zola.
Plot
A government official, Count Muffat, falls under the spell of Nana, a young actress. She becomes his mistress, living in the sumptuous apartment which he provides for her. Instead of elevating herself to Muffat's level, however, Nana drags the poor man down to hers - in the end, both lives have been utterly destroyed.
Production
The film stars Renoir’s wife, Catherine Hessling, in an eccentric performance as the flawed heroine Nana.
Jean Renoir’s film is a fairly faithful adaptation of Émile Zola’s classic novel. The film’s extravagances include two magnificent set pieces – a horse race and an open air ball. The film never made a profit, and the commercial failure of the film robbed Renoir of the opportunity to make such an ambitious film again for several years.

Ulmus 'Nana'
The elm cultivar Ulmus 'Nana' is a very slow growing shrub that with time forms a small tree. It was believed for many years to be a form of Ulmus glabra and is known widely as the 'Dwarf Wych Elm'. However, the ancestry of 'Nana' has been disputed in more recent years, Melville considering the specimen once grown at Kew to have been a cultivar of Ulmus × hollandica.
Description
The tree rarely exceeds 5 m in height, but is often broader. The dark green leaves are smaller than the type, < 11 cm long by 8 cm broad. Green describes it as a very distinct variety not growing above 60 cm in 10 to 12 years. A specimen at Kew was described by Henry as 'a slow-growing hemispherical bush that has not increased appreciably in size for many years'.
Pests and diseases
The low height of the tree should ensure that it avoids colonisation by Scolytus bark beetles and thus remain free of Dutch elm disease.
Cultivation
The tree is still occasionally found in arboreta and gardens in the UK, and has been introduced to North America and continental Europe; it is not known in Australasia.
List of Hollows in Bleach
In the fictional Bleach manga/ anime universe, a hollow (虚(ホロウ, horō) is a monstrous ghost that ought to be slain and purified or else it will feed on other souls. Many of the series' antagonists are hollows; also, the fictional universe also has hollows with Soul Reaper(a death-related entity)-like characteristics called arrancars (破面(アランカル), arankaru, Spanish for "to tear off," kanji translates as "broken mask"). One of the series' main storylines has Sōsuke Aizen (the primary antagonist for the majority of the series) and his arrancars (particularly the ten Espadas, the strongest ones) as the force opposing the protagonists.
The creator of the series, Tite Kubo, used many Spanish motifs for the series' hollow-related elements. The fictional creatures have been praised by reviewers for the early hollows' strong emotional ties to their victims and the "interesting" concept of the arrancar; the visual appearance of the characters have also been commented on.

Team17
Team17 Digital Ltd, founded as 17-Bit Software and later named Team17 Software Ltd, is a British video game developer. They are best known for creating the Worms and Alien Breed video game series. Most of their early releases were on the Amiga home computer system and featured trademark smooth scrolling, and detailed cartoonish art. Team17 now develops for Microsoft Windows, Android, iOS and video game consoles.
History
The company was originally called 17-Bit Software, which grew out of the Microbyte retail chain in 1987, and specialised in cataloguing, producing and publishing an Amiga public domain software library. 17-Bit Software was controversial as it sold demos from the Amiga demoscene which were not released as public domain, without having any agreements with the demo groups, or attempting to reimburse them as most were busy with pirate games BBS. Having said this, the early 17 Bit Software Club was actually submission based since internet was not about for most people. Cracktro intros for the early intro packs largely submitted by the coders in 1988. The intro disk later saw the start of the Amiga mega demo to some extent. During the formation of Team17, Martin Brown actively recruited coders and artists from the Amiga demo scene, to program games for Team17. Few demo disks were ever sold, most sales were made for freeware games and utility disks such as the virus checkers.
Apache (missile)
The MBDA Apache (/əˈpætʃi/; French: [apaʃ]) is a French-developed air-launched anti-runway cruise missile, manufactured by European arms company MBDA. The Apache system is at the base of the SCALP EG concept, notably for the aerodynamics and the stealth feature. The SCALP EG also has a different propulsion system as well as a different warhead. While the SCALP uses a single high-penetration warhead, the Apache's effect is obtained by dispersal of 10 cluster submunitions.
