Sankhya +

The system of philosophy founded by Kapila Rishi, a system of analytical metaphysics, and one of the six ''Darshanas'' or schools of philosophy. It discourses on numerical categories and the meaning of the twenty‐five ''tatwas'' (the forces of nature in various degrees). This “atomistic school”, as some call it, explains nature by the interaction of twenty‐four elements with ''purusha'' (spirit) modified by the three gunas (qualities), teaching the eternity of ''pradhâna'' (primordial, homogeneous matter), or the self‐transformation of nature and the eternity of the human Egos.

Sankt-Peterburgskie Vedomosti +

The first public printed newspaper in Russia was initiated by Peter the Great, whose decrees of December 16 and 17, 1702, led to the publication of trial issues that have not survived in print (only handwritten copies remain). Following along the lines of the 17th-century handwritten ''Vesti-Kuranty'', Peter's newspaper contained little other than reports of military victories and diplomatic relations, either composed by the tsar himself or translated from Dutch newspapers according to his choice. With Peter's death in 1725, ownership of the paper was transferred to the Russian Academy of Sciences, which renamed it to ''Sankt-Peterburgskie Vedomosti'' (that is, Saint Petersburg News) in 1728. In the course of the 18th century, the academics issued the newspaper twice a week, supplementing it with extensive scholarly "commentaries", whose editors included Fedor Polikarpov-Orlov, Gerhardt Friedrich Müller, Mikhail Lomonosov, and Ippolit Bogdanovich. Since 1800, the Saint Petersburg Vedomosti was published daily. [[Category: CTD info from Wikipedia]] (WP) +
