Swings (rapper)

Moon Ji Hoon (Korean:문지훈, born October 14, 1986), better known by the stage name Swings (Korean:스윙스), is a South Korean rapper. He was formerly under the label Brand New Music. He is now contracted under his own record label, Just Music Entertainment.

Swings debuted in 2008 with the extended play "Upgrade." He holds a bachelor's degree from Sungkyunkwan University in "English Language and Literature." He has participated on Mnet‘s "Show Me the Money"(쇼미더머니) rap battle program as a contestant for season two and as a producer for season three along with San E and Tablo. In 2013, Swings, alongside Bumkey, was named "Artist of the Year" by Korean hiphop magazine Hiphopplaya (힙합플레이야). In the summer of 2013 Swings caused controversy within the Korean hip hop community with the track "King Swings Part 2" in which he accused Simon D of not protecting his Supreme Team member E-Sens from an alleged slave contract offered by label Amoeba Culture. This track led to an outbreak of Control-esque "diss tracks" from rappers all over the industry. Swings was a producer for the third season of Mnet's "Show Me the Money," a rap competition program. He joined the army in 2014 but discharged from the army in 2015 because of mental illness.

1637 Swings

1637 Swings, provisional designation 1936 QO, is a dark asteroid from the outer region of the asteroid belt, about 45 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered by Belgian astronomer Joseph Hunaerts at the Royal Observatory of Belgium in Uccle on 28 August 1936. In the following month, it was independently discovered by astronomer Cyril Jackson in Johannesburg, South Africa.

The asteroid orbits the Sun at a distance of 2.9–3.2 AU once every 5.38 years (1,965 days). Its orbit shows an eccentricity of 0.04 and is tilted by 14 degrees to the plane of the ecliptic. It has a low geometric albedo of 0.042, based on observations carried out by the Infrared Astronomical Satellite, IRAS. Its rotation period is still to be determined.

The asteroid was named after Belgian astrophysicist and astronomer Pol Swings (1906–1983), president of the International Astronomical Union during 1964–1967, who significantly contributed to the understanding of the physics of comets and their spectra.

Generic top-level domain

Generic top-level domains (gTLDs) are one of the categories of top-level domains (TLDs) maintained by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) for use in the Domain Name System of the Internet. A top-level domain is the last label of every fully qualified domain name. They are called generic for historic reasons; initially, they were contrasted with country-specific TLDs in RFC 920.

The core group of generic top-level domains consists of the com, info, net, and org domains. In addition, the domains biz, name, and pro are also considered generic; however, these are designated as restricted, because registrations within them require proof of eligibility within the guidelines set for each.

Historically, the group of generic top-level domains included domains, created in the early development of the domain name system, that are now sponsored by designated agencies or organizations and are restricted to specific types of registrants. Thus, domains edu, gov, int, and mil are now considered sponsored top-level domains, much like the themed top-level domains (e.g., jobs). The entire group of domains that do not have a geographic or country designation (see country-code top-level domain) is still often referred to by the term generic TLDs.

Solar (room)

The solar was a room in many English and French medieval manor houses, great houses and castles, generally situated on an upper storey, designed as the family's private living and sleeping quarters. In such houses, the main ground-floor room was known as the Great Hall, in which all members of the household, including tenants, employees and servants, would eat. Those of highest status would be at the end, often on a raised dais, and those of lesser status further down the hall. But a need was felt for more privacy to be enjoyed by the head of the household, and, especially, by the senior women of the household. The solar was a room for their particular benefit, in which they could be alone and away from the hustle, bustle, noise and smells (including cooking smells) of the Great Hall.

The solar was generally smaller than the Great Hall, because it was not expected to accommodate so many people, but it was a room of comfort and status, and usually included a fireplace and often decorative woodwork or tapestries/wall hangings.
