Casandra Damirón
Altagracia Casandra Damirón Santana, known as Casandra Damirón (March 12, 1919 - December 5, 1983), was a Dominican Republic, Dominican singer, dancer and folklorist. Recognition In her country she was known "La Soberana de la Canción" ("The Sovereign of the Song", "Queen of the Song"). Since 1985 the Casandra Awards in arts was established, in her honor. However in 2012 the descendants of Casandra Damirón decided to withdraw the authorization to use Casandra's name from the awards name arguing that for the previous two years the ceremony departed from the rules which "have governed the award in terms of its content and ''raison d'être''", and therefore it is currently known as the Soberano Awards. The Casandra Damirón Hall of Fame was established in the consulate of the Dominican Republic in the United States in 1966 which paid homage to prominent persons of Dominican culture. It was dismantled in early 2017 during the remodeling of the consulate. [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

9 (nine) is the natural number following and preceding . Evolution of the Arabic digit In the beginning, various Indians wrote a digit 9 similar in shape to the modern closing question mark without the bottom dot. The Kshatrapa, Andhra and Gupta started curving the bottom vertical line coming up with a -look-alike. The Nagari continued the bottom stroke to make a circle and enclose the 3-look-alike, in much the same way that the sign @ encircles a lowercase ''a''. As time went on, the enclosing circle became bigger and its line continued beyond the circle downwards, as the 3-look-alike became smaller. Soon, all that was left of the 3-look-alike was a squiggle. The Arabs simply connected that squiggle to the downward stroke at the middle and subsequent European change was purely cosmetic.
