Mali (i/ˈmɑːli/; French: [maˈli]), officially the Republic of Mali (French: République du Mali), is a landlocked country in West Africa. Mali is the eighth-largest country in Africa, with an area of just over 1,240,000 square kilometres (480,000 sq mi). The population of Mali is 14.5 million. Its capital is Bamako. Mali consists of eight regions and its borders on the north reach deep into the middle of the Sahara Desert, while the country's southern part, where the majority of inhabitants live, features the Niger and Senegal rivers. The country's economy centers on agriculture and fishing. Some of Mali's prominent natural resources include gold, being the third largest producer of gold in the African continent, and salt. About half the population lives below the international poverty line of $1.25 (U.S.) a day. A majority of the population (55%) are non-denominational Muslims.
Present-day Mali was once part of three West African empires that controlled trans-Saharan trade: the Ghana Empire, the Mali Empire (for which Mali is named), and the Songhai Empire. During its golden age, there was a flourishing of mathematics, astronomy, literature, and art. At its peak in 1300, the Mali Empire covered an area about twice the size of modern-day France and stretched to the west coast of Africa. In the late 19th century, during the Scramble for Africa, France seized control of Mali, making it a part of French Sudan. French Sudan (then known as the Sudanese Republic) joined with Senegal in 1959, achieving independence in 1960 as the Mali Federation. Shortly thereafter, following Senegal's withdrawal from the federation, the Sudanese Republic declared itself the independent Republic of Mali. After a long period of one-party rule, a coup in 1991 led to the writing of a new constitution and the establishment of Mali as a democratic, multi-party state.
Malič (Serbian Cyrillic: Малич) is a mountain in western Serbia, near the town of Ivanjica. Its highest peak has an elevation of 1,110 meters above sea level.
T. R. Mahalingam, better known by his pen-name Mali, was an illustrator and cartoonist from Tamil Nadu, India, in the pre-independence era. He was the Tamil Press's first caricaturists, according to Chennai historian S. Muthiah in The Hindu. Muthiah has written elsewhere that Mali did as much with his strokes for Vikatan as its celebrated editor Kalki Krishnamurthy did with his words.
Mali published his drawings in the Indian Express in the 1930s, and first made his name at the Free Press Journal 'before being immortalised in the pages of Ananda Vikatan, the first popular Tamil periodical'. He also did cartoons for the Vikatan group's English-language Merry Magazine, where he became the editor in 1935. He is said to have left the editorial nitty-gritty to his assistant editor, while continuing to illustrate such humorous serials as 'Private Joyful in Madras' (The magazine shut down in c. 1935 or 1936).
While it was the writer and poet Subramanya Bharathi who first introduced cartoons to Tamil journalism, it was Ananda Vikatan that made them truly popular. As cartoonist and senior artist at Ananda Vikatan, Mali was thus a key influence on a second generation of cartoonists. Gopulu and Silpi were illustrators he mentored at Vikatan.
Der Wecker ließ den Jungen im Stich
die Schuld trifft ihn auch nicht
er wachte auf bleich im Gesicht
ich bin zu spät was kann ich dafür
ohne Schulbrot für den Tag
den Ranzen halb gepackt
steht er grade weg am Start
schweißgebadet an der Eingangstür
nichts ahnend schaut er kurz zurück
bis eine Stimme zu ihm spricht, und meint:
Wart mal! du kommst sowieso schon zu spät
lass lieber chilln, wart mal, du bist sowieso schon zu spät
wozu noch gehn
all die Hektik all der Stress
wär's da nicht besser wenn man's lässt, und sie fügt hinzu:
auf Deutsch lass den Scheiß einfach sausen
fang an zu chilln von mir aus drin oder draußen
egal bei was man dich bei deinem Glück behindert
sag allen was Spaß ist, was zeig denen deinen Mittelfinger
10 Jahre Schule klingt wie ne Morddrohung
mach einfach blau das geht schon in Ordnung
das Auftreten mit Ausreden sichert den Vorsprung
du bist jung dreh einfach allen das Wort rum
zum Glück hat er sie ignoriert,
jahrelang seinen Weg kreiert
ohne zu wissen wie es wird
kann man sagen er hat es weit gebracht
nur zieht nicht jeder mit,
zu oft ließ man ihn im Stich
er merkt wie allein er ist,
alles schläft nur er scheint wach
bis er an niemand mehr glaubt,
da taucht die stimme wieder auf und meint:
Wart mal! Wart mal oooh ihr kommt sowieso schon zu spät
lass lieber chilln, wart mal,
ihr seid sowieso schon zu spät
wozu noch gehen, all die Hektik all der Stress
wär's da nicht besser wenn man's lässt
Und er denkt sich, die Welt verändern ist nicht schlecht
nur scheint zu Vieles zu komplex
niemand kommt komplett zu recht,
man schafft es nicht mal den Müll zu sortieren
tja, der private Scheiß hält auf,
der Mensch nimmt viel dafür in kauf
das Essen wird halt schlecht
und nicht mal ich schein zu kapieren
all die Hektik all der Stress
geben uns noch lange nicht das Recht, zu sagen:
Wart mal! Wart mal wir kommen sowieso schon zu spät
lass lieber chilln, wart mal,
wir sind sowieso schon zu spät
wozu noch gehn all die Hektik all der Stress
Es wird nicht besser wenn man's lässt
