# Military history of Morocco
The **military history of Morocco** covers a vast time period and complex events. It interacts with multiple military events in a vast area containing North Africa and the Iberian Peninsula.
## The Roman conquests {#the_roman_conquests}
Just after defeating the Phoenicians and destructing the city of Carthage in nowadays Tunisia during the Punic Wars, the Roman armies took possession of Mauretania and divided it into two provinces. In the west, Mauritania Tingitana was developed by the creation of roads, agricultural innovations and trade expansions.
In the mountainous areas, the Berber tribes resisted to the Roman invasions. The Roman influence will be preserved in the south until 285 AD. As of the end of 4th century AD, under the reign of the Roman emperor Diocletian, the Romans maintained nothing but one thin presence on the coast, around Tangier. They remained in the north until 429 AD; date of the passage of the Vandals in this part of Mauretania Tingitana. In 533 AD, the Byzantine fleets and then the Visigoths occupied Ceuta and Essaouira.
## The Arab conquests {#the_arab_conquests}
## Berber revolt {#berber_revolt}
## Moroccan-Portuguese Wars {#moroccan_portuguese_wars}
The Battle of Alcácer Quibir (also known as \"Battle of Three Kings\" was a war in northern Morocco, near the town of Kasar El-Kebir and Larache, on 4 August 1578.
The battle was between the Moroccan Sultan Abu Abdallah Mohammed II, and his ally, the King of Portugal Sebastian I, against a large Moroccan army nominally under the new Sultan of Morocco (and uncle of Abu Abdallah Mohammed II) Abd Al-Malik I. Over 8,000 Portuguese and Allies were killed and over 15,000 were captured.
The defeat of Portugal and death of the childless Sebastian led to the end of Portugal\'s Aviz dynasty after Spain\'s Philip II took advantage of the situation and claimed Portugal under familial bonds. The subsequent Iberian Union lasted for 60 years until Portugal regained independence during the Portuguese Restoration War of 1640.
## Barbary wars {#barbary_wars}
Though Morocco was not part of the Ottoman empire, Moroccan pirates held their activities in both the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. They used two main ports as bases; Salé and Tétouan. Salé pirates roamed the seas as far as the shores of the Americas, bringing back loot and slaves. The character Robinson Crusoe, in Daniel Defoe\'s novel by the same name, sailed off from the mouth of the Bou Regreg river.
In 1783 the United States made peace with and was recognized by Great Britain, and in 1784 the first American ship was captured by pirates from Morocco. The stars and stripes was a new flag to them. After six months of negotiation, a treaty of friendship between the U.S. and Morocco was signed, \$60,000 cash was paid, and trade began. Morocco was the first independent nation to recognize the United States back in 1778.
## Franco-Moroccan Wars {#franco_moroccan_wars}
### First Franco-Moroccan Wars {#first_franco_moroccan_wars}
The First Franco-Moroccan War consisted of a series of conflicts fought between France and its colonial administrators on one side, and the sultanate of Morocco on the other. The principal cause of war involved the retreat of Algerian resistance leader \`Abd al-Qādir into Morocco following French victories over many of his tribal supporters in the French conquest of Algeria. The name of the conflict can be misleading however, seeing the first conflict between the two nations took place during the Larache expedition, after the Seven Years\' War.
### Second Franco-Moroccan Wars {#second_franco_moroccan_wars}
The Second Franco-Moroccan War took place in 1911, when Moroccan forces besieged the French-occupied city of Fez. Approximately one month later, French forces brought the siege to an end. On March 30, 1912, Sultan AbdelHafid signed the Treaty of Fez, formally ceding Moroccan sovereignty to France, which established a protectorate. On April 17, 1912, Moroccan infantrymen mutinied in the French garrison in Fez. The Moroccans were unable to take the city and were defeated by a French relief force. In late May 1912, Moroccan forces unsuccessfully attacked the enhanced French garrison at Fez.

## Use of Moroccan recruits by the colonial forces {#use_of_moroccan_recruits_by_the_colonial_forces}
During the period of the French protectorate of Morocco (1912--1956) large numbers of Moroccans were recruited for service in the goumier infantry forces. During World War II more than 400,000 Moroccan troops (including goumier auxiliaries) served with the allied forces in North Africa, Italy, France and Austria and germany. The two world conflicts saw Moroccan units earning the nickname of \"Todesschwalben\" (death swallows) by German soldiers as they showed particular toughness on the battlefield . By the end of the World War II, Moroccan troops took part of the French Expeditionary Force engaged in the First Indochina War from 1946 to 1954.
The Spanish Army also made extensive use of Moroccan troops recruited in the Spanish Protectorate, during both the Rif War of 1921-26 and the Spanish Civil War of 1936--39. Moroccan *Regulares*, together with the Spanish Legion, made up Spain\'s elite Spanish Army of Africa. A para-military gendarmerie, known as the \"Mehal-la Jalifianas\" and modelled on the French goumieres, was employed within the Spanish Zone.`{{Empty section|date=July 2010}}`{=mediawiki}
## The Sand War {#the_sand_war}
Before the French colonization in the 19th century, parts of southern and western Algeria belonged to Morocco. In the 1930s and later in the 1950s, France had integrated into what was known as the Overseas Département of French Algeria, the areas of Tindouf and Bechar. When Morocco gained independence in 1956, it wanted to reassert sovereignty over these areas. In an effort to cut the support that the Front de Libération Nationale (FLN) was getting from Morocco, France offered to return those areas in exchange for Morocco stopping that support. King Mohammed V refused to make a deal with France behind the back of the \"Algerian brothers\", and agreed with the Algerian provisional government\'s nationalist leader Ferhat Abbas, that once Algeria gained its independence it would renegotiate the status of the Tindouf and Bechar areas.
However, immediately after Algeria\'s independence, and before his agreement with the Moroccan King Muhammad V could be formally ratified, the first Algerian provisional president Ferhat Abbas was purged from the FLN government by a military-backed coalition led by the first Algerian provisional president Ahmad Ben Bella. Ben Bella reneged on the deal that Ferhat Abbas agreed to. Skirmishes along the border eventually escalated into a full-blown confrontation after Algerian troops attacked and killed 10 Moroccans soldiers in a town near Figuig. The Algerian army, just formed from the guerrilla ranks of the FLN\'s Armé de Libération Nationale (ALN) was still geared towards asymmetric warfare, and had little high-powered equipment . They were still battle-ready and held tens of thousands of experienced veterans, and strengthening the armed forces had been a top priority for the military-dominated post-war government. On the other hand, while being modern, western-equipped Moroccan army was superior on the battlefield, it did successfully manage to penetrate into Algeria. The war stalemated with the intervention of the Organization of African Unity (OAU) and the Arab league and it was broken off after approximately three weeks. The OAU eventually managed to arrange a formal cease-fire on February 20, 1964. A peace agreement was then made after Arab League mediation, and a demilitarized zone instituted but hostilities simmered.
## 1967 and Yom Kippur Wars {#and_yom_kippur_wars}
The 1973 Yom Kippur War was the fourth major conflict between Israel and the neighboring Arab States. Like many other Arab States, Morocco contributed by deploying 16,500 troops, 30 tanks and 52 combat aircraft to take part in the Yom Kippur War.
Morocco sent one infantry brigade to Egypt and one armored regiment to Syria.\[433\]\[443\] 6 Moroccan troops were taken prisoner in the war

# Emigdio Preciado Jr.
**Emigdio Preciado Jr.** (born August 19, 1969) is an American criminal, gang member and a former fugitive who was added to the FBI\'s Top Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list on March 14, 2007. Preciado is the 485th fugitive to be placed on the list.
After nine years on the run, Preciado was captured in Mexico on July 17, 2009 and is currently serving a 25-year to life prison sentence. The earliest year for parole is 2032.
## Criminal career {#criminal_career}
Preciado has a documented history as a gang member in the South Side Whittier street gang, which operates outside of Los Angeles.
Preciado is a career criminal who has been arrested for a 1992 murder, robbery, grand theft, and receipt of stolen property. He has been convicted of narcotics and firearms violations. At the time of the shooting, he was on parole for a drug-related crime.
## Shooting of Michael Schaap {#shooting_of_michael_schaap}
On September 5, 2000, Los Angeles County Sheriff\'s deputy Michael Schaap and his partner, David Timberlake, were on patrol when they saw a 1979 Chevrolet van traveling toward them. As the van approached, the deputies noticed the van\'s headlights were not functioning properly and proceeded to stop the driver of the vehicle. When the van came to an abrupt stop, the deputies came under immediate attack from a burst of automatic gunfire. The gunman, one of four occupants traveling in the vehicle, appeared from an open door in the van and began shooting the deputies. Deputy Timberlake escaped without injury.
A bullet fragment from his assailant\'s AK-47 blasted into the bridge above Schaap\'s nose, ricocheted across his forehead and exited above his right eye. During surgery, doctors removed the remaining fragments of the bullet from Schaap\'s head, leaving a small wound, a horseshoe-shaped scar on his face and his left side partially paralyzed. Schaap had a long, painful recovery, which included intense therapy to re-learn cognitive skills.
Three other men in the car, Carlos Albert Gutierrez, Jose Leonchio Guardado and Omar Jimenez were arrested, charged and convicted of the shooting, but the fourth man remained at large. The alleged shooter was later identified as Emigdio Preciado Jr, and he became a suspect of the case.
In 2001, Schaap returned to work with an assignment to handle administrative duties and teach employment issues to his department. In an interview, he expressed his wishes for justice and a fair trial to Preciado if he were to be captured.
## Fugitive
In December 2000, Preciado was spotted and videotaped dancing in a town holiday festival in Tepuzhuacan, Nayarit, Mexico. Billboards profiling Preciado were installed in Whittier. Preciado was seen again in 2006 in Guadalajara, Mexico, and it was alleged that his family members or fellow gang members could have helped him evade authorities. Preciado had surgically removed his distinctive tattoos in Mexico.
On March 14, 2007, he was named by the FBI as the 485th fugitive to be placed on the Ten Most Wanted list. The shooting case was reviewed several times on the television show *America\'s Most Wanted*. There was a reward of up to \$100,000 for information leading to his capture being offered, but it was increased to \$150,000, with the FBI offering a \$100,000 reward, and the Los Angeles County Supervisor\'s Office offering an additional \$50,000. The reward would be paid to the tipster who helped Preciado\'s capture.
## Capture, extradition, and conviction {#capture_extradition_and_conviction}
Preciado was captured in the hills near Corral Piedras, a rural area near Yagos, in Nayarit, Mexico on July 17, 2009. He had been living there, using the alias Regalo Castaneda-Castaneda and working as a fisherman.
Preciado was held in the custody of Mexican federal police and transferred to Mexico City, from where he was extradited to Los Angeles on January 12, 2010 in order to face trial. He was set for arraignment in Whittier Superior Court and his hearing was proceeded on February 19.
In July 2011, Preciado accepted a plea agreement and was immediately sentenced to 25 years in prison. During what was scheduled to be a preliminary hearing leading up to a trial, Preciado pleaded guilty to two counts of assault with a deadly weapon on peace officers, as well as the special allegation of using a firearm in a felony.
The former FBI Top Ten Most Wanted fugitive will need to serve at least 85% of this sentence before being eligible for parole, meaning the earliest he can hope to be paroled is in 2032

# Sleigh bed
A **sleigh bed** is a style of bed with curved or scrolled foot and headboards, thus resembling a sled or sleigh.
Often made of wood and quite heavy, the sleigh bed is a result of the French and American Empire period of the early 19th century. The Empire style, and thus the American Empire style, drew its inspiration from the empires of ancient Rome and Greece.
Today\'s sleigh beds are made from a variety of materials including wood, iron, steel and aluminum, and often possess less exaggerated curves of the foot and headboards.

# Innerdalstårnet
**Innerdalstårnet** (or *Dalatårnet*) is a 1452 m tall mountain on the south side of the Innerdalen valley in Sunndal Municipality in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. It is located about 15 km southeast of the village of Ålvundeidet. The mountain is also known as the *Matterhorn of Norway* for its characteristic pyramidal shape.
The summit can be reached with some scrambling, and the mountain is a very popular destination for rock climbing, several routes are established up the mountain.
The northern sub-peak, Litle Innerdalstårnet (seen in the picture) is slightly more inaccessible. Directly south of Innerdalstårnet are the mountains Tårnfjellet and Såtbakkollen, which is the second highest in Trollheimen. The mountain Skarfjellet lies just to the west on the other side of the lake Storvatnet

# Andrex
**Andrex** is a British brand of toilet roll. It is owned by the American company Kimberly-Clark. The \"Andrex Puppy\", a Labrador Retriever puppy that appears on the company\'s television advertisements, is synonymous with the brand.
The brand Andrex is also used by Kimberly-Clark in the Hong Kong market, with products from their Taiwanese factories (though wet wipes are imported from South Korea), along with the brands Scott, Kleenex and Scotties.
Its sister brand in the U.S. and Australia is *Kleenex Cottonelle*. In Austria it is called \"Hakle,\" and in Germany simply *Cottonelle.* In The Netherlands, Andrex is known as *Page*. In Belgium, Italy, Spain and Portugal it is branded as *Scottex*. In South Africa, it is branded as *Baby Soft*.
In Australia, the puppy is known as the \"Kleenex Puppy\" and Kleenex is a partner and supporter of Guide Dogs Australia.
## History
Andrex was originally developed in 1942 by paper manufacturer St Andrew Mills Ltd., as a disposable handkerchief. Harrods department store in London sold the handkerchiefs exclusively. Before Andrex, brands such as Bronco and Izal produced products that were harsher. They were mainly sold through chemists and known as "shinies".
The name Andrex comes from St Andrew Mill, on St Andrews Road in Walthamstow, where the toilet tissue was first made. The concept of two ply luxury paper had been inspired by the facial tissues used by American women, as witnessed by the man who created the name Andrex, Ronald Keith Kent. It was the first two-ply tissue.
St Andrew Mills was taken-over by Bowater in 1955, and in 1956, Bowater formed a joint venture with the Scott Paper Company, Bowater-Scott, that specialized in tissue products, including Andrex.
They are known for having a popular TV ad that features a labrador retriever puppy trailing a toilet paper roll through a house. However, the original idea in 1972 was for a young girl to run through a house trailing a roll of Andrex. The television regulators did not approve this as they felt it encouraged children to be wasteful. Bowater-Scott\'s Marketing Director, Raymond Dinkin decided to use a Labrador puppy instead. Since then there have been 130 different adverts featuring various puppies eponymously known as \"the Andrex puppy\".
In 1986, Bowater sold Bowater-Scott to Scott Paper, and in 1995, Kimberly-Clark purchased Scott Paper.
Andrex says that it marketed the first moist toilet paper in 1992.
In 2004, Andrex replaced its advertising slogan "Soft, Strong and very very Long", with "Tuggable, Huggable softness", and changed to "Be Kind To Your Behind" in 2008. By 2015, it was using the slogans "Andrex clean" and "How Andrex do you feel?"
In 2022, Andrex announced that they would be adding bowel cancer symptoms to their toilet roll packaging following campaigning from blogger and journalist Deborah James, who later died from the disease in June 2022. Various supermarkets followed suit.
## Operations
All Andrex mainstream is made in Northfleet. Factories in Flint and Barrow in Furness supplement production on the mainline product, along with the Puppies on a Roll, Aloe Vera and Quilts variations

# Live from Oklahoma... The Too Bad for Hell DVD!
***Live from Oklahoma\... The Too Bad for Hell DVD!*** is the first video release by American rock band The All-American Rejects, recorded at the Brady Theater in Tulsa, Oklahoma on May 30, 2003 and released on September 30, 2003.
## Reception
The video received mixed reviews from critics. AllMusic saw the overall production as \"sloppy and technically inferior affair that\'s as charisma-free as the band it highlight\", with its \"overly dark concert footage\" and \"murky audio completes the lackluster audiovisual package\", but said that the videos for \"Swing, Swing\" and \"The Last Song\" rounded out the DVD perfectly. Punknews.org were more positive in their review, saying \"This DVD proves the band is really, really tight for the majority of their 45 minute set. The vocal harmonies are dead-on, the extra bells and whistles are perfectly timed, and the band just plays really, really tightly\", with the only flaw being lead guitarist Nick Wheeler\'s solo on the song \"Your Star\", calling it \"horribly cringe-worthy, but it\'s really the only blemish of the set.\"
DVD Talk applauded the production of the DVD, but saw the \"Lost in Stillwater\" documentary extra as \"OK, but not great\" as it featured \"some blurred images and video \'wash out\'\"

# Out Like a Light
***Out Like a Light*** is a live album by jazz guitarist John Scofield, recorded in 1981 and released in 1983 on Enja Records. It is the last of three albums to feature his trio with bass guitarist Steve Swallow and drummer Adam Nussbaum.
The album is the follow-up to his previous *Shinola* as both recordings contain material from the same Munich concert venue. *Out Like a Light* contains the third evening of December 1981 the trio played there. Except for the last track, a standard by Alan Jay Lerner the repertoire consists of four original compositions by Scofield that all run over 7 minutes. It was the third and last album of this trio and the last for the Enja label. During his following tenure with Miles Davis Sco would sign with Gramavision.
Scofield and Swallow continued to work together. Swallow would serve as producer on a number of Scofield albums on which he does not play, and eventually as bassist once again with a touring trio (*EnRoute: John Scofield Trio LIVE*, 2004) on *This Meets That* in 2006, and *Country for Old Men* in 2016. Sco and Swallow also recorded together with Paul Bley (*Hot*, 1986), on Swallow\'s own album *Swallow* (1992), and with Kip Hanrahan, Gary Burton, Motohiko Hino and Mike Gibbs.

# Cost-minimization analysis
**Cost-minimization** is a tool used in pharmacoeconomics to compare the cost per course of treatment when alternative therapies have demonstrably equivalent clinical effectiveness.
Therapeutic equivalence (including adverse reactions, complications and duration of therapy) must be referenced by the author conducting the study and should have been done prior to the cost-minimization work. Since equal efficacy and equal tolerability is already demonstrated, there is no requirement to find a common efficacy denominator as would be the case when conducting a cost-effectiveness study. The author is not precluded from doing so through the use of \"cost/cure\" or \"cost/year of life gained\". If efficacy and tolerability is demonstrated, however, then a simple comparison of \"cost/course of treatment\" can suffice for the purpose of comparing two or more therapeutically equivalent treatment alternatives. When conducting a cost-minimization study, the author needs to measure all costs (resource expenditures) inherent to the delivery of the therapeutic intervention and that are relevant to the pharmacoeconomic perspective. The optimal choice is that which can be provided for the lowest cost

# Great Range
The **Great Range** is a mountain range in the Adirondack Mountains, near Keene Valley, New York, United States. It rises in the heart of the High Peaks region between Ausable Lakes to the southeast and the Johns Brook Valley to the northwest.
The range is approximately 12 mi long and includes seven of the forty-six High Peaks. They are, along the main ridge from northeast to southwest, Lower Wolfjaw, Upper Wolfjaw, Armstrong, Gothics, Saddleback, Basin, and Haystack. Sawteeth is a spur of Gothics, and Marcy is often associated with the Great Range but it is not a \"historical\" part of the Great Range.
The entire range can be hiked on six maintained trails, and is considered a premier challenge for hikers in the Adirondacks. From the Rooster Comb trailhead at the northeast end of the range, the Rooster Comb Trail, Hedgehog Mountain Trail, W. A. White Trail, ADK Range Trail, and State Range Trail travel along the ridges between the peaks. The State Range Trail continues southwest to Haystack and Marcy. The total distance to Mt. Marcy is 13.5 mi. A side trip to Rooster Comb can be made which adds an additional mile of distance. There are no lean-tos and only a single campsite on the route

# Rashbehari Avenue
**Rashbehari Avenue** (known as Main Sewer Road or Ballygunge Avenue till 1929) is one of the most prestigious and important east--west avenues of Kolkata, India. A major portion of this road is often commonly referred to as Gariahat, the prime shopping and aristocratic residential neighbourhood of south Kolkata. Rashbehari Avenue falls in the posh residential neighbourhood of Ballygunge. The road is named after Sir Rash Behari Ghosh who was an Indian politician, lawyer, social worker and philanthropist.
## Localities
The Gariahat Market is located on Rashbehari Avenue and Gariahat Road Crossing (*Gariahat More*). It is best known for its fish offerings. The other three points of the crossing contains a collection of Indian sarees and other items such as readymade garments, electronic gadgets. Besides the regular shops, there are the makeshift shops that crowd the sidewalks.
The main shopping area runs down to its intersection with Sarat Bose Road (Deshapriya Park) but mainly up to Triangular Park. Then it travels further west to meet Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Road (previously Russa Road) at Rashbehari Crossing (*Rashbehari More*) and heads towards Chetla. From Chetla-Sahanagar Bridge (**Shaheed Jatin Das Setu**), Rashbehari Avenue becomes Chetla Central Road and moves towards Alipore.
In the east, it meets the Eastern Metropolitan Bypass at Gold Park (Ruby Hospital). This extended part of it starts from the eastern flank of Bijon Setu (Rail Overbridge).

# Danny Lawson
**Daniel Michael Lawson** (October 30, 1947 --- September 15, 2008) was a Canadian ice hockey right winger who played in the National Hockey League (NHL) from 1968 to 1972 and the World Hockey Association (WHA) from 1972 to 1977. He led the WHA in goal scoring in its inaugural season.
## Junior career {#junior_career}
Lawson played junior for the Hamilton Red Wings of the Ontario Hockey Association, who were sponsored at the time by the Detroit Red Wings of the National Hockey League. Lawson was with the Hamilton team when they went to the Memorial Cup finals in 1967. Lawson\'s individual offensive totals gradually improved each year until in 1967-68, his last year, when he finished second in the league in goal-scoring with 52 and led his team in points. He was also named to the OHA\'s First All Star team.
## Pro career {#pro_career}
Lawson played a single game with the Detroit Red Wings in the 1967--68 season, before becoming a full-time professional the next year, shuttling between the Wings and the minor-league Fort Worth Wings of the Central Hockey League. Before season\'s end he was traded to the Minnesota North Stars, serving the role of a defensive forward on the third and fourth lines. He spent the next two years with the North Stars, further splitting his time between the parent club and the minor leagues, before a trade in the 1971 offseason to the Buffalo Sabres. It was with Buffalo that Lawson finally received substantial ice time, albeit in a checking role shadowing other teams\' offensive stars. It was to be his first complete season in the NHL without any time spent in the minors. He would finish the 76 games scoring 10 goals.
In 1972 the WHA came into existence and the upstart league was stealing from the NHL both their superstars and players to simply fill their rosters. Lawson made the jump and signed with the Philadelphia Blazers. Although having had a five-year career in the NHL under his belt, it was not until moving to the WHA that his scoring abilities were fully realized. In the WHA's inaugural season, despite the presence of superstar Bobby Hull, it was Lawson who on February 22 became the first player to score 50 goals. Playing on a line with Don Herriman and Andre Lacroix, by season's end he led the league in goals with 61. Lawson capped that season by being selected to the WHA All Star Team\'s First Team.
Lawson remained a star in the WHA, almost entirely with the Blazers\' franchise through moves from Philadelphia to Vancouver and finally to Calgary. Midway through the 1977 season he was traded to the Winnipeg Jets and reached the Avco Cup final, where the Jets lost to the Quebec Nordiques, after which Lawson retired. In the NHL, Lawson appeared in 219 games, scoring 28 goals and 29 assists. However, in the WHA he played in 392 games, scoring 218 goals and adding 204 assists. Despite not participating in the final two seasons of the WHA\'s existence he still finished at #8 in all-time WHA goals.
## Post NHL {#post_nhl}
In August 1986, at age 39, Lawson attempted a comeback in the NHL, attending the Edmonton Oilers training camp, but was released by the club in September. Lawson then found employment in German hockey. For the 1986-87 season he played with the third division team EC Hedos Munich helping the team move up to the second division. The next season, he coached SV Bayreuth and the team finished fourth out of ten teams in the southern division.
On September 15, 2008, Lawson died of cancer.
## Honours
In 2010, he was elected as an inaugural inductee into the World Hockey Association Hall of Fame

# Henry Cullen Adams
**Henry Cullen Adams** (November 28, 1850 -- July 9, 1906) was an American farmer, public administrator, and U.S. Congressman from Wisconsin, best known for his support of pure food laws. He served two terms in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1903 until his death in 1906.
## Biography
Adams was born in Verona, New York to Hamilton College professor Benjamin Franklin Adams and Caroline Shepard, but moved to his father\'s farm in Jefferson County, Wisconsin, when he was an infant. The family moved again a few years later to southeastern Dane County, Wisconsin. His father was elected to the Wisconsin State Assembly for that area and served in the Assembly in 1862 and 1872.
Adams attended Albion Academy and then the University of Wisconsin--Madison, but withdrew for health reasons before earning a degree.
### Early career {#early_career}
After marrying Anne Burkley Norton in 1878, he operated a successful dairy and fruit farm and served as president of the Wisconsin Dairymen\'s Association.
He was elected to the Wisconsin State Assembly in 1882, representing the same geographic area that his father had represented, though the districts had been reapportioned. He was re-elected in 1883 and in 1884---the first year that Assemblymembers were elected to two-year terms. He left office in 1887 and became a member of the Wisconsin Board of Agriculture from 1887 to 95. He also held the offices of Wisconsin Superintendent of Public Property from 1889 to 1891, and Food and Dairy Commissioner from 1898 to 1902.
### Congress
In 1902, Adams was elected to the United States House of Representatives from Wisconsin\'s 2nd congressional district. He served in the 58th United States Congress and was reelected to the 59th Congress serving until his death (March 4, 1903 - July 9, 1906). He was a progressive Republican and supporter of Robert M. \"Fighting Bob\" La Follette. In Congress, he worked for passage of the Federal Meat Inspection Act and the Pure Food and Drug Act.
### Death and burial {#death_and_burial}
He died of intestinal illness in 1906 in Chicago, while en route from Washington, D.C., to his home in Wisconsin. He was buried at Forest Hill Cemetery in Madison

# Beet pulp
**Beet pulp** is a byproduct from the processing of sugar beet which is used as fodder for horses and other livestock. Beet pulp is the fibrous material left over after the sugar is extracted from sugar beets. It is supplied either as dried flakes or as compressed pellets. There is a belief that it needs to be soaked in water before feeding to horses, but research does not support soaking being an absolute necessity.
## Composition
Despite being a byproduct of sugar beet processing, beet pulp itself is low in sugar and other non-structural carbohydrates, but high in energy and fiber. Among other nutrients, it contains 10 percent protein, 0.8 percent calcium and 0.5 percent phosphorus. It has no Vitamin A, so additional forage or supplementation is required to provide complete nutrition.
8,5\'-Diferulic acid is the predominant diferulic acid in sugar beet pulp.
Sometimes molasses is added to improve palatability.
## Feeding
Beet pulp is usually fed to horses in addition to hay, but occasionally is a replacement for hay when fed to very old horses who can no longer chew properly. A standard ration of beet pulp for horses is usually 2 to dry weight. Before feeding to horses, beet pulp is usually soaked in water, at a ratio of one part pulp to about four parts water. The maximum amount of water is absorbed after three to four hours, but it may be soaked for as little as one to two hours, especially in hot weather when there is a risk of fermentation. Most commercial feeds designed for geriatric horses contain large amounts of beet pulp and are fed straight out of the bag without being soaked, and manufacturer\'s directions generally recommend giving such feeds dry unless the horse has dental issues that make chewing difficult.
Beet pulp is not usually soaked before feeding to cattle, sheep and goats. Dehydrated beet pulp has a good nutritive value for ruminants. It is also fed to poultry, pigs and rabbits. Beet pulp can also be fed wet, pressed or ensiled.
## Safety issues {#safety_issues}
Some horse owners express two concerns about feeding dry, unsoaked beet pulp, one being that it is linked to choke. Any dry feed may cause choke, especially if the horse does not have free access to water, or if the horse has other risk factors linked to choking, such as a tendency to bolt its food. However, while horses have choked on beet pulp, university studies have not documented that beet pulp is a particular problem. It is believed that choke related to beet pulp is linked to the particle size and the horse\'s aggressive feeding behaviour, rather than the actual feed itself. Nonetheless, the risk of choke associated with any dry feed, including beet pulp, can be reduced by soaking the ration prior to feeding.
Another concern expressed by horse owners is that dry beet pulp will absorb water and swell in a horse\'s stomach, causing digestive problems such as impaction or colic. However, a properly hydrated horse usually produces enough saliva to moisten any feedstuff properly, including beet pulp.
Thus, while research indicates that soaking beet pulp is not necessary to prevent, there are other reasons for soaking beet pulp. It may make the feed easier to chew, particularly for older horses with bad teeth. Soaking may improve the taste, and may be a way to hide supplements or medications. While horses usually drink enough water on their own, feeding soaked beet pulp can increase fluid intake, particularly in the winter when horses may drink less water than they need

# Virgin Ancestral Pueblo peoples
The **Virgin Ancestral Pueblo peoples** were the westernmost Ancestral Pueblo peoples group in the American Southwest. They occupied the area in and around the Virgin River and Muddy Rivers, the western Colorado Plateau, the Moapa Valley and were bordered to the south by the Colorado River. They occupied areas in present-day Nevada, Arizona, and Utah. Their occupation of the area lasted from about 1 CE to around 1200 CE, which according to the Pecos Classification places the occupation from Early Basketmaker II Era to Early Pueblo III periods. Their neighbors were the Fremont culture to the north and the Kayenta Pueblo peoples to the east.
## Regional Distribution {#regional_distribution}
The Virgin Ancestral Pueblo peoples occupied three regional areas:
### Plateau
The word plateau refers to the Colorado Plateau. This area is diverse in its natural resources and environs. It is characterized by conifer forests at upper elevations, and juniper and pinon pine zones at lower elevations. There are also areas of desert plains where sagebrush is one of the most common plants. This area includes parts of the Grand Canyon and the eastern Great Basin.
### St. George Basin {#st._george_basin}
The St. George Basin is located in and around present day St. George, Utah. The people who occupied this area usually built their sites on the edges of streams ranging in elevation from 800-1300m.
### Lowland Virgin {#lowland_virgin}
The Lowland Virgin area encompasses the areas around the Virgin and Muddy Rivers draining into the Moapa Valley. It is located in the Basin and Range Province. The plant life includes creosote bush, mesquite, cholla, as well as other desert shrubs and plants.
## Lifeways
Unlike their eastern counterparts who constructed monumental architecture (as in Chaco Canyon) the Virgin Anasazi lived in small seasonal pueblo groups of only a few rooms.
The Virgin Ancestral Pueblo peoples practiced seasonal subsistence corn agriculture. They often used \"dry\" farming techniques, i.e. using ground water and rain as the source for irrigation. Later on, though, populations in proximity to waterways used check-dams and canal irrigation. They also utilized local available wild resources such as pine nuts from the Pinyon pine and hunted game including mule deer, jack rabbits, and rabbits

# The Blinded
**The Blinded** (formerly known as **Stigmata** and **Blinded Colony**) is a Swedish melodic death metal band from Karlshamn. Formed in 2000, they have released two studio albums and four EPs.
## History
### Stigmata (2000--2002) {#stigmata_20002002}
Blinded Colony was formed in January 2000 by guitarists Johan Blomstrom and Tobias Olsson and singer Niklas Svensson. At that point, the band was known as Stigmata. In June 2000, the band began recording their first demo, *Painreceiver*, and two new members were recruited: Christoffer Nilsson to play drums and Annika Haptén, a singer. Later that summer, Staffan Franzén was officially announced as the bass player. After finishing the recording of *Painreceiver*, the band performed shows around Sweden, but began to lose faith in the endeavor. Due to lack of interest, they went on hiatus.
Six months later, drummer Christoffer Nilsson decided to leave the band and Staffan Franzén switched from bass to drums. Shortly after Nilsson\'s departure, Blomstrom and Olssonsfound a new bass player, Roy Erlandsson. After reforming, Annika Haptén quit the band due to musical differences. In 2002, the band\'s second demo, *Tribute to Chaos*, was released. *Tribute to Chaos* caught the attention of Italy-based Scarlet Records. Coinciding with their new record deal, the band officially changed their name to Blinded Colony.
### *Divine* and Scarlet Records {#divine_and_scarlet_records}
Blinded Colony\'s debut studio album, *Divine*, was self-produced and released in 2003 through Scarlet Records throughout Europe and was distributed in Japan through Soundholic Records. Blinded Colony and Scarlet Records parted ways a year later. After parting ways with Scarlet Records, Blinded Colony announced the departure of the band\'s original vocalist, Niklas Svensson, and the addition of new vocalist Johan Schuster.
### *Bedtime Prayers* and Pivotal Rockordings {#bedtime_prayers_and_pivotal_rockordings}
The band would then record 2005\'s *Promo Demo* and release it in early April 2005. The demo would catch the attention of U.S.-based upstart record label Pivotal Rockordings.
After signing with Pivotal Rockordings, Blinded Colony began recording their second full-length album, *Bedtime Prayers*, in the spring of 2006. The band chose once again to produce and record the album themselves at their home studio, SoundPalace.*Bedtime Prayers*, was warmly received by underground metal circles and was compared to the works of other established melodic death metal bands like In Flames and Soilwork. A music video for the song \"Once Bitten, Twice Shy\" was made, but the proposed music video for the song \"Heart\" was cancelled.
In 2007, Blinded Colony completed the \'Outcasts Over Europe\' tour in support of Ektomorf and former Scarlet Records label-mates Kayser. They also shared the stage with notable acts such as former Pivotal Rockording label-mates Sonic Syndicate, and Dark Tranquillity. After touring, Blinded Colony took part in summer festivals for 2007. In late August 2007, it was announced that vocalist Johan Schuster and bassist Roy Erlandsson had been replaced by Denny Axelsson and Johan Olsson. The split was announced as \"professional differences\". After a quiet winter spent with the band writing new material, another replacement was announced, as Tobias Olsson moved from guitar to bass and the band added new guitarist Martin Bergman to fill the slot left by the switch. Although Pivotal Rockordings never released a press release about the departure of the band, they are currently unsigned and are writing new material for their third full-length studio album. It was announced in October 2008 that vocalist Denny Axelsson and the band had parted ways citing \"professional differences\" as the reason.
In May--June 2010, Blinded Colony announced that they had found a replacement for Johan & Axelsson, and that there would from now on be two vocalists in Blinded Colony. The new vocalists are Linus and Joel.
After releasing new songs, it was announced that Blinded Colony would change its name to The Blinded. This change was due to the idea that the band consisted of completely different members and therefore was not the same blinded colony.
## Other media {#other_media}
The song \"Once Bitten, Twice Shy\" is featured in the Xbox 360/PlayStation 3 video game *The Darkness*. Prior to the release of *Bedtime Prayers*, the song \"My Halo\" was featured on the charity CD Project Suubi for Ugandan orphans

# Ackroyd & Harvey
**Heather Ackroyd and Dan Harvey** are British visual artists who have collaborated since 1990 as **Ackroyd & Harvey**.
Ecology, architecture, sculpture, and photography are some of the disciplines that intersect in Ackroyd & Harvey\'s work, revealing an intrinsic bias towards process and event. Their artwork makes explicit connections with urban political ecologies by highlighting the temporal nature of processes of growth and decay in sites of architectural and ecological interest as well as contemporary art galleries and museums worldwide. Often working outside the gallery space and in diverse contexts, they are acclaimed for large-scale architectural interventions where they grow landmark buildings with seedling grass.
In 2003, they grew the entire vertical interior space of a disused church in South London; the following year contributed to European Space 9th Sculpture Quadrennial in Riga, Latvia; and in 2007 realised their largest temporary living public artwork *FlyTower* on the exterior of London\'s National Theatre. They have received the NESTA Pioneer award and Wellcome Sci-Art award for their work utilizing the light-sensitivity of the pigment chlorophyll in making complex living photographs in grass, and have exhibited this work worldwide including the Andalusian Centre for Contemporary Art, (Seville), Musée de l\'Élysée, Lausanne (Switzerland), SF Camerawork, San Francisco (USA), Santa Barbara Museum of Art (California), Exit Art (NY), Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Boston (USA), Rice Gallery, Houston (USA) and Big Chill (UK).
Since 2003, they have made a series of expeditions to the High Arctic with Cape Farewell, looking at the effects of climate change on the ecosystem and have shown the resulting work *Stranded*, a skeleton of a minke whale encrusted with crystals at London\'s Natural History Museum, the Liverpool Biennial and Japan\'s Miraikan Museum.
Ackroyd & Harvey have given many lectures and presentations, notably at the London School of Economics, Royal Society, Royal Institute of British Architects, Tate Britain, National Theatre, Manchester International Festival, University of Oxford, Courtauld Institute, Harvard University, San Francisco Institute of Arts and in May 2009 presented at the Nobel Laureate Symposium on Creativity, Leadership and Climate Change at London\'s Science Museum

# Ghetto (Kelly Rowland song)
\"**Ghetto**\" is a song by American recording artist Kelly Rowland, featuring vocals by rapper Snoop Dogg. It was written by Durrell \"Tank\" Babbs, Calvin Broadus, Lonny Bereal and Rowland, and produced by the former for Rowland\'s second solo album *Ms. Kelly* (2007). A mid-paced R&B ballad which was originally recorded for her shelved *My Story* album, \"Ghetto\" is influenced by the Crunk&B subgenre. Its instrumentation consists essentially of synthesizers and a drum machine rhythm and lyrically, finds Rowland, as the protagonist, singing sensually in her whistle register about becoming attracted to dangerous men.
One of Rowland\'s favorites on *Ms. Kelly*, \"Ghetto\" was released as the album\'s second single to US radios on August 7, 2007, while \"Work\" was serviced as the album\'s second international single. The song performed weakly on the *Billboard* charts, reaching number nine on the Bubbling Under R&B/Hip-Hop Singles chart only, ranking it among Rowland\'s lowest-selling single to date. An accompanying music video, directed by Andrew Gura, was shot in Los Angeles, California in August 2007. It features cameo appearances from rappers MC Eiht, Kam, and Soopafly and depicts hip hop fashion and ghetto fabulous aesthetics.
## Recording
The song is one out of two recordings singer and songwriter Tank and partner Joseph \"Lonny\" Bereal produced for the album. One of her favorites on the album, Rowland has described \"Ghetto\" as \"about good girls who dig bad boys,\" adding: \"As soon as Tank played it, I knew and recorded it in an hour. \[It\] is just so laid back and that\'s why I had to have Snoop \[Dogg\].\" Originally recorded without Snoop Dogg for the delayed 2006 *My Story* album, it was not until months prior to the *Ms. Kelly* release, that the rapper was consulted to contribute additional vocals to the track. \"He\'s the King of Cool, so I was honoured when he said yes to do the record. It was like a dream come true,\" Rowland stated in an interview with *Blue & Soul* in 2007. \"He \[just\] put his Snoop-a-fied player-isms on the track \[\...\] He just gives it that something. I like it when a song can make you feel good.\"
## Critical reception {#critical_reception}
\"Ghetto\" earned generally mixed reviews from contemporary music critics. Sal Cinquemani from *Slant* felt that \"Rowland displays her range on midtempo cut \[\...\] "Ghetto," a slinky track featuring a smooth, sensual vocal from the singer.\" Spence D. of media website IGN observed that \"the high pitched nuances \[on *Ms. Kelly*\] continue on \"Ghetto,\" featuring the ubiquitous Snoop Dogg. Rowland adopts a wispy timbre that is sensual in a fleeting way, but the track is again amped up with too much high end sound, making it more cloying than immersive.\" *San Francisco Chronicle* remarked that \"Ghetto\" has \"Rowland exploring the increasingly common theme of a good girl falling for a bad boy. Her cotton-candy mezzo tones are easy to digest.\" Mark Edward Nero from About.com found that \"Ghetto\" was the worst of the \"many weak songs\" on *Ms. Kelly*, concluding that \"it\'s laugh-out-loud ridiculous, particularly with Kelly singing contrived, out-of-character lines.\" *CBS News* called the song \"sexy and seductive\"
## Commercial performance {#commercial_performance}
Released in North America only, \"Ghetto\" went for radio ads in August 2007 and was added by about twenty-eight urban contemporary stations and very few rhythmic contemporary stations. On September 1, 2007, it debuted on the US *Billboard* Bubbling Under R&B/Hip-Hop Singles chart at number nine which is equivalent to number 109 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. \"Ghetto\" neither managed to climb any higher on that particular chart, nor made it to any other official chart. Although Rowland noted that it was her decision to pick the track as the album\'s second single, she somewhat regretted to release it retrospectively and opted to have it removed from the international deluxe edition reissue of *Ms. Kelly*.
## Music video {#music_video}
An accompanying music video for \"Ghetto\" was directed by Andrew Gura and filmed in Los Angeles, California on August 23, 2007. Next to Rowland and Snoop Dogg, rappers MC Eiht, Kam, and Soopafly make cameo appearances in the visual. Production on the video was helmed by Partizan Entertainment, with Melissa Larsen serving as producer. Main camera was operated by Shawn Kim, while editing was overseen by T. David Binns. Special effect were provided by Laundy. Displaying hip hop fashion and ghetto fabulous aesthetics, the video depicts Rowland and Snoop Dogg dancing and performing in front of different lowriders, intercut by animated solo performances of Rowland. When asked about the conception of the video, Rowland elaborated: \"It\'s ghetto. It\'s really fly. I feel like everybody has some sort of element of ghetto in them. Think about it. Right? Wouldn\'t you say so? And everyone knows what the ghetto is.\"
The video world premiered at the end of the September 10, 2007 episode of BET\'s television series *Access Granted*. In his review for Videostatic, editor Craig Belcher wrote: \"Rowland gets hoodcentric with this tribute to the rough life with Snoop Dogg as the guest rapper and the object of her lyrical affections. If she was looking to shed her good-girl image \[\...\] this video certainly puts her in a different light. Rowland gyrates as dreamy images of street culture drift behind her, including 24 inch rims, platinum jewelry, golden grills \[\...\] All that\'s missing is a bag of sunflower seeds and strawberry soda.\"

After leaving the Gongola State House, he entered full scale entrepreneurship, and was the founder and chairman of BHI holdings (DADDO group of companies). In 1992, he was an unsuccessful presidential candidate for the National Republican Convention, during which he and a few rivals of Adamu Ciroma lobbied for the cancellation of the first primary due to allegations of favouritism levelled against the leadership of the party.

## Faction within his party {#faction_within_his_party}
On 31 August 2013, the chairmanship of Bamanga was openly challenged when seven governors, including Nyako from Adamawa state, 22 senators and 57 members of House Representatives, all from the PDP, were led by former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar to declare a \'New PDP\' with Alhaji Abubakar Kawu Baraje as its chairman. The governors were:
- Murtala Nyako from Adamawa State,
- Sule Lamido of Jigawa State,
- Rabiu Kwankwaso of Kano State,
- Abdulfatah Ahmed of Kwara State,
- Mu\'azu Babangida Aliyu of Niger State,

# Chemult station
**Chemult station** is an Amtrak train station in Chemult, Oregon. It is not staffed and only consists of a platform structure and a warming shelter, which replaced a smaller structure in 2010.
## History
Chemult was originally a station on the Southern Pacific Cascade Line, with regular service by the *Klamath* and limited service by the *Cascade*. The station became a stop on the *Coast Starlight* in 1980.
A new Chemult station was built on the site in 2010. The old structure, which was uninsulated and therefore too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter, had been the subject of much criticism for being too small. The new station cost \$600,000 and was built in the Cascadian architecture style. Construction began in May 2010 and was completed in November, in time for a November 10 opening

# 1989 Belgium MiG-23 crash
On 4 July 1989, a pilotless MiG-23M Flogger-B jet fighter of the Soviet Air Forces crashed into a house in Bellegem, near Kortrijk, Belgium, killing one person. The pilot had ejected over an hour earlier near Kołobrzeg, Poland, after experiencing technical problems, but the aircraft continued flying for around 900 km before running out of fuel and crashing into the ground.
## History of the flight {#history_of_the_flight}
The incident started as a routine training flight. Colonel Nikolai Skuridin , the pilot, was to fly a MiG-23M from the Bagicz Airbase near Kołobrzeg, Poland. During takeoff, the engine\'s afterburner failed, causing a partial loss of power. At an altitude of 150 m and descending, Skuridin elected to abandon the aircraft and ejected safely. However, the engine kept running and the aircraft remained airborne, flying on autopilot in a westerly direction.
The unmanned aircraft left Polish airspace, crossing into East Germany and then West Germany, where it was intercepted by a pair of F-15s from the 32nd Tactical Fighter Squadron of the United States Air Forces Europe, stationed at Soesterberg Air Base in the Netherlands. The F-15 pilots reported that the MiG had no crew. At that stage the aircraft was potentially heading towards the United Kingdom\'s airspace, so a live armed Quick Reaction Alert (QRA) Phantom FGR2 of 56(F) Squadron was scrambled from RAF Wattisham in Suffolk and instructed to fly at maximum subsonic speed to the Kent coast and be prepared to shoot the MiG down if it crossed the English Channel.
The MiG-23 crossed into Dutch airspace and continued into Belgium. The escorting F-15s were instructed to shoot down the plane, but as the MiG ran out of fuel, it started a slow turn to the south, prompting the French Air Force to put its fighters on alert. After flying over 900 km, the MiG eventually crashed into the house at 273 Doorniksesteenweg, in the town of Bellegem, near Kortrijk, some 5-10 km from the French border, killing a local resident.
## Victim
The only victim of the accident was Wim Delaere, a computer science student reported to have been either 18 or 19 years old. He was sleeping alone after celebrating the end of his university exams the previous day when the MiG crashed and killed him at 10:30 am. His mother and brother were shopping for groceries in Kortrijk, and his father was working in Ypres.
## Political aftermath {#political_aftermath}
The Belgian government made a formal protest to the Soviet Union for the lack of notification about the stray aircraft. The Belgian Foreign Minister Mark Eyskens expressed concern that \"from the time the MiG-23 was first picked up on NATO radar to the time it crashed more than an hour later, no word of warning came from the Soviet side,\" and that \"there was also a \'notable slowness\' on the part of the Soviets in disclosing whether the jet was carrying nuclear or toxic weapons.\" The Soviet Union paid Belgium \$685,000 in compensation

# T-MPLS
**T-MPLS** or **Transport MPLS** is a transport network layer technology that uses extensions to a subset of the existing MPLS standards and is designed specifically for application in transport networks. Work to define T-MPLS was started by the ITU-T in February 2006. It was intended specifically as a connection-oriented packet-switched (co-ps) application offering a simpler implementation by removing MPLS features that are not relevant to co-ps applications and adding mechanisms that provide support of critical transport functionality.
ITU-T ceased work on **T-MPLS** in December 2008, in favour of MPLS-TP standardization.
T-MPLS uses the same architectural principles of layered networking that are used in other technologies like SDH and OTN. Service providers have already developed management processes and work procedures based on these principles for use in networks that use those other technologies.
In this way **T-MPLS** was intended to provide a reliable packet-based technology that is familiar and also aligned with circuit-based transport networking; it supports current organizational processes and large-scale work procedures.
**T-MPLS** is a low cost Layer 2 technology that provides QoS, end-to-end OA&M and protection switching.
The following ITU-T Recommendations exist for **T-MPLS**. These Recommendations will be superseded (i.e., replaced) by new revisions that apply to MPLS-TP and reference the joint work being undertaken by the ITU-T and IETF.

After IETF raised concerns over **T-MPLS** technology, mainly about incompatibility with the already established IP/MPLS, the ITU-T and the IETF started a joint activity to solve potential issues. The decision was to transfer control to IETF to develop a new **MPLS** profile specialized for transport (MPLS-TP) with input from ITU recommendations A new activity was added to the charter of the MPLS working group of IETF

# Panayot Hitov
**Panayot Ivanov Hitov** (*Панайот Иванов Хитов*) (November 11, 1830 -- February 22, 1918) was a Bulgarian *haidoutin (hajduk)*, national revolutionary and voivoda.
Born in 1830 in Sliven (known as İslimiye at the time), he became a haidoutin in Georgi Trankin\'s band of rebels in 1858. Two years later, after the death of Trankin, Hitov succeeded him as voivode of the band, which became one of the most active in southeastern Bulgaria. Some of his subordinates included Hadzhi Dimitar, Stoyan Papazov and Dyado Zhelyu. Around 1864--1865, Hitov began to regard his actions as part of the national liberation movement, and was in correspondence with Georgi Rakovski. In 1864, while in Serbia, he gathered band members among the Bulgarians in Kragujevac and Belgrade and moved to the region of Berkovitsa and Pirot. According to Rakovski\'s plan as presented in \"1867 Provisional Law on the National and Forest Bands\", Hitov was to be the chief Bulgarian voivode.
Following Rakovski\'s death on April 28, 1867, Hitov entered Bulgaria from Romania at Tutrakan with a band of thirty, the band\'s standard-bearer being Vasil Levski. With his band, Hitov headed to the Balkan Mountains and spent some time around Kotel and Sliven. The goal of his band was not to organize an uprising, but to garner support among the Bulgarians for an organized resistance against Ottoman rule.
In August 1867, together with his band and that of Filip Totyu, Hitov headed to Serbia along the ridge of the Balkan Mountains. He settled in Belgrade, living there as a pensioner and becoming a supporter of the idea that Bulgaria\'s liberation struggle should be co-ordinated with Serbia\'s anti-Ottoman actions. Between 1869 and 1871, he expressed his views to Vasil Levski, with whom he kept up a correspondence. Without taking Levski\'s advice into consideration, he signed an agreement with the Montenegrin voivode Matanović to organize a joint uprising in Bulgaria, Bosnia, Herzegovina and Albania. In April 1872 Hitov became a member of the Bucharest branch of the Bulgarian Revolutionary Central Committee (BRCC).
After Levski\'s death in 1873, Hitov played an important role in the Bucharest committee, although he continued to live in Belgrade. In August 1875, he presided over the BRCC assembly which approved the proclamation of the Stara Zagora Uprising. According to the plan, Panayot Hitov was supposed to lead a band of soldiers, but this was not carried out due to the Serbian government\'s objections. Hitov was a leader in the Serbian-Turkish War of 1876 and the Russo-Turkish War of 1877--78. After the Liberation in 1878, Hitov lived in Rousse, taking part in local political life. In 1885, he headed the Unification of Bulgaria in his native Sliven. Later, due to his opposition to Stefan Stambolov\'s regime (1887--1894), he was sent to prison. He died on February 22, 1918, in Rousse.
## Honours
Hitov Spur on Oscar II Coast in Graham Land, Antarctica is named after Panayot Hitov. It is located 16.5 km northwest of Mount Quandary.

The park was established by Order in Council on April 29, 1992, expanded in 1995, included in the Nisga\'a Treaty in 2000, and is the first park in the province to be jointly managed by the government and a First Nation. An interpretive centre in a traditional Nisga\'a longhouse informs visitors about the Nisga\'a legend that accounts for the lava as well as geological causes.
The park has waterfalls, pools, cinder cones, lava tree molds, lava tubes, spatter cones, lava-dammed lakes, caves and other features created by lava flows. The park aims to protect moose, goats, marmots, bears and many other species of wildlife.
The park covers 178.93 square kilometres in area.
## Protected areas {#protected_areas}
Three small protected areas are contiguous with Nisga\'a Memorial Lava Bed Provincial Park. Nisga\'a Memorial Lava Bed Protected Area is a narrow, approximately 10.5 ha corridor adjacent to Gitlaxt\'aamiks established on December 13, 2011. Nisga\'a Memorial Lava Bed Corridor Protected Area is a narrow corridor near Gitlaxt\'aamiks. It covers about 1 ha and was established on July 30, 2008. Nisga\'a Memorial Lava Bed Corridor Protected Area (No. 2) is a narrow, approximately 63.5 ha strip established on June 8, 2015, along the Nisga\'a Highway corridor in the northwestern portion of Nisga\'a Memorial Lava Bed Provincial Park.
## Recreation area {#recreation_area}
The former Nisga\'a Memorial Lava Bed Recreation Area was annexed into Nisga\'a Memorial Lava Bed Provincial Park in 1995, increasing the size of the park to 17893 ha.
## Volcanic eruption {#volcanic_eruption}
It is believed to be the site of Canada\'s most recent volcanic eruption and lava flow, a geological disaster that killed an estimated 2,000 people.
The source of the eruption was the Tseax Cone. Large lava flows dammed the Nass River and destroyed two villages of the Nisga\'a people around the year 1700. Lava beds rise as much as 12 m above the modern road. The lava flow also buried the lower drainage of Ksi Sii Aks and Vetter Creek.
Nisga\'a oral histories record the names of the two villages destroyed in the eruption, Wii Lax K\'abit and Lax Ksiluux

# Addicted Tour
The **Addicted Tour** was the third headlining concert tour by American pop singer Kelly Clarkson. It was a United States tour beginning on June 30, 2006, in West Palm Beach, Florida and ended on August 6, in Auburn, Washington. The tour was in support of her second studio album, *Breakaway* (2004), following The Breakaway Tour (2005--06) and Hazel Eyes Tour (2005).
## Show synopsis {#show_synopsis}
The show begins pitch black with the music of \"Addicted\" being played, then there is a silhouette of one of the band members on violin. After a few measures of him playing, a silhouette of Clarkson appears. When the violinist stops playing Clarkson begins to sing \"It\'s like I can\'t breathe\" and the curtain comes up in one swift motion. She then goes into the rest of the chorus and finishes the rest of the song. Clarkson ended the night with \"Since U Been Gone\"
The tour\'s set list includes songs that would later appear on Clarkson\'s third studio album *My December* (2007).

# Minolta Maxxum 4
The Minolta **Maxxum 4** (**Dynax 4** in Europe and **Dynax 3** in \"Asia Pacific countries\") 35mm SLR camera was introduced in 2002. Konica Minolta has discontinued production of this model but maintains information on it in its website.
Capable of automatic focus, the Maxxum 4 has through-the-lens metering, a built-in pop-up flash and a hot shoe for flash. The shutter is an \"electronically-controlled, vertical-traverse, focal-plane type.\" It uses infrared sensors to focus, so for this reason the camera\'s manual advises against using it for infrared photography.
In addition to the essential modes P, A, S and M, the Maxxum 4 has all the usual quick-modes for the beginner: portrait, landscape, close-up, sports and night portrait. As with comparable film cameras of the period, the Maxxum 4 has multiple-frame drive mode, and self-timer; the maximum speed for continuous shooting is just short of two frames per second. Also, like other similar cameras, the Maxxum 4 has a built-in pop-up flash as well as a shoe for a dedicated flash with TTL flash control.
The camera has three autofocus sensors. The centre one is a cross-type sensor. To achieve focus outside the \"Wide Focus Area\" covered by these three sensors, the manual instructs the user to center the desired subject for focus, engage focus lock, then recompose the shot. This is standard procedure for autofocus systems of this type.
Any standard 35mm still-film (135 format) may be used with a few caveats: Polaroid 35mm instant film should not be used because \"winding problems may occur\"; infrared film is not recommended because the frame counter shines infrared light at the sprockets (this is a very common feature with motorised film-advance cameras); the camera can not advance beyond the 40th frame in rolls of film with more than 40 frames

# Tailrank.com
**Tailrank.com** was a site that provided a feed of content on the World Wide Web that was being discussed across the blogosphere. The site continuously scanned blogs that had been registered with it, and composed an index of \"top stories\" that had been cited by the various blogs it had scanned.
The focus of the site was the news items themselves, but users were also able to see snippets of the various blog citations that made the story popular.
The list of top stories changed over time; newer items were given a higher score than older items, and more popular items were given a higher score than less popular items. Items high on the list tended to be articles or posts that had triggered a lot of blog activity over the last day or so.
Because the site\'s index allowed one to follow the spread of ideas from blog to blog, it could have been considered a memetracker. It was the closest thing to a modern equivalent of blogdex, which has also been shut down.

# 2007 Goody's Cool Orange 500
The **2007 Goody\'s Cool Orange 500** was the sixth race of the 2007 NASCAR Nextel Cup Series season. It was held on Sunday, April 1, 2007 at the 0.526 mile Martinsville Speedway in Martinsville, Virginia, the circuit\'s shortest (by distance) oval.
The event was the second to use NASCAR\'s Car of Tomorrow template, and the first in which the 2007 Top 35 teams (by owner points) were awarded exemptions.
The winner of the race was Jimmie Johnson of the Hendrick Motorsports team. His teammate, Jeff Gordon, placed second by less than a second after a battle between the two during the last laps of the race. Gordon attempted many times to take the lead from Johnson by passing on the inside, however Johnson held his position and managed to regain spacing ahead of Gordon on the straightaways.

# Jining–Tongliao railway
The **Jitong-Tongliao Railway** (`{{zh|s=集通铁路|t=集通鐵路|p=Jítōng Tiělù}}`{=mediawiki}) is a 945 km railway in Inner Mongolia, China, that opened in 1995. Its starting point is at Jining and ends at Tongliao. The Jitong Railway is a joint venture between China Railway and the government of Inner Mongolia. Since Inner Mongolia was one of the poorer provinces of China in the early 1990s, the line was built with an eye towards reducing startup costs, with the intention of upgrading at a future date as funds became available. The tracks were built to a high engineering standard, featuring heavy rail, concrete crossties, and extensive use of tunnels and viaducts to reduce grades. In contrast, lower-cost anachronistic technologies were intentionally selected for cases where it was possible to upgrade incrementally: semaphore signaling, staffed crossing gates, and steam engines.
## World\'s last mainline steam train service {#worlds_last_mainline_steam_train_service}
Due to low labor costs and plentiful coal, China was one of the last countries to retire steam locomotives on mainline services. As dieselisation and electrification progressed in the early 1990s, China Railways found itself with a large stock of surplus steam locomotives, some built as recently as the late 1980s. The government of Inner Mongolia was thus able to acquire steam engines at a low cost for use on the Jitong Railway. The line\'s proximity to coal mines also allowed fuel to be procured locally, resulting in reduced operating costs.
The Jitong Railway was the last mainline railway in the world to use steam locomotives. All of these locomotives were the large 2-10-2 QJ type engines and often trains had 2 locomotives on their head end. On December 8, 2005, the world\'s last regular mainline steam train finished its journey, marking the end of the steam era. The steam locomotives were replaced by the DF4 diesel locomotives.
Most of the QJs were scrapped, but a handful are on display at the depot in Daban. Three have been exported to the United States of America. 6988 and 7081 were sold to the Iowa Interstate Railroad in 2006, and have operated on many excursions since. 7040 was sold to the RJ Corman company in Kentucky in 2008. Renumbered 2008, it ran special trips for five years before being put into storage in 2013. It was sold to the Kentucky steam Heritage Corp. in March 2020, and will eventually be evaluated for an overhaul.
## Electrification
Electrification of the railway began in April 2020. The project was expected to take four years but was delayed by Covid. It is now expected to be completed by 2026

# Eitel Frederick von Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen
**Eitel Friedrich von Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen** (25 September 1582 -- 19 September 1625) was a Roman Catholic Cardinal-Priest and Prince-Bishop of Osnabrück. He was a son of Charles II, Count of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen and thus a member of the noble and ancient Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen family.
On the 15 December 1620 Pope Gregory XV created him Cardinal *in pectore*, he was publicly proclaimed Cardinal-Priest of *S. Lorenzo in Panisperna* on 11 Jan 1621. He was appointed Prince-Bishop of Osnabrück on 28 April 1623. On the 29 October 1623 he chose to become a priest and was ordained.
He was never styled *Eminence* as this was only done after his death in 1630

# Peano existence theorem
In mathematics, specifically in the study of ordinary differential equations, the **Peano existence theorem**, **Peano theorem** or **Cauchy--Peano theorem**, named after Giuseppe Peano and Augustin-Louis Cauchy, is a fundamental theorem which guarantees the existence of solutions to certain initial value problems.
## History
Peano first published the theorem in 1886 with an incorrect proof. In 1890 he published a new correct proof using successive approximations.
## Theorem
Let $D$ be an open subset of $\mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{R}$ with $f\colon D \to \mathbb{R}$ a continuous function and $y'(t) = f\left(t, y(t)\right)$ a continuous, explicit first-order differential equation defined on *D*, then every initial value problem $y\left(t_0\right) = y_0$ for *f* with $(t_0, y_0) \in D$ has a local solution $z\colon I \to \mathbb{R}$ where $I$ is a neighbourhood of $t_0$ in $\mathbb{R}$, such that $z'(t) = f\left(t, z(t)\right)$ for all $t \in I$.
The solution need not be unique: one and the same initial value $(t_0, y_0)$ may give rise to many different solutions $z$.
## Proof
By replacing $y$ with $y-y_0$, $t$ with $t-t_0$, we may assume $t_0=y_0=0$. As $D$ is open there is a rectangle $R=[-t_1,t_1]\times[-y_1,y_1]\subset D$.
Because $R$ is compact and $f$ is continuous, we have $\textstyle\sup_R|f|\le C<\infty$ and by the Stone--Weierstrass theorem there exists a sequence of Lipschitz functions $f_k:R\to\mathbb{R}$ converging uniformly to $f$ in $R$. Without loss of generality, we assume $\textstyle\sup_R|f_k|\le2C$ for all $k$.
We define Picard iterations $y_{k,n}:I=[-t_2,t_2]\to\mathbb{R}$ as follows, where $t_2=\min\{t_1,y_1/(2C)\}$. $y_{k,0}(t)\equiv0$, and $\textstyle y_{k,n+1}(t)=\int_0^t f_k(t',y_{k,n}(t'))\,\mathrm{d}t'$. They are well-defined by induction: as
$$\begin{aligned}|y_{k,n+1}(t)|&=\textstyle\left|\int_0^t f_k(t',y_{k,n}(t')) \,\mathrm{d}t'\right|\\&\le\textstyle\int_0^t|f_k(t',y_{k,n}(t'))|\,\mathrm{d}t'\\&\le \textstyle |t|\sup_R|f_k|\\&\le t_2\cdot2C\le y_1,\end{aligned}$$
$(t',y_{k,n+1}(t'))$ is within the domain of $f_k$.
We have
$$\begin{aligned}|y_{k,n+1}(t)-y_{k,n}(t)|&=\textstyle\left|\int_0^t f_k(t',y_{k,n}(t'))-f_k(t',y_{k,n-1}(t'))\,\mathrm{d}t'\right|\\&\le\textstyle\int_0^t|f_k(t',y_{k,n}(t'))-f_k(t',y_{k,n-1}(t'))|\,\mathrm{d}t'\\&\le \textstyle L_k \int_0^t|y_{k,n}(t')-y_{k,n-1}(t')|\,\mathrm{d}t',\end{aligned}$$
where $L_k$ is the Lipschitz constant of $f_k$. Thus for maximal difference $\textstyle M_{k,n}(t)=\sup_{t'\in[0,t]}|y_{k,n+1}(t')-y_{k,n}(t')|$, we have a bound $\textstyle M_{k,n}(t)\le L_k \int_0^t M_{k,n-1}(t')\,\mathrm{d}t'$, and
$$\begin{aligned}M_{k,0}(t)&\le\textstyle\int_0^t|f_k(t',0)|\,\mathrm{d}t'\\&\le |t|\textstyle\sup_R|f_k|\le 2C|t|.\end{aligned}$$
By induction, this implies the bound $M_{k,n}(t)\le 2CL_k^n|t|^{n+1}/(n+1)!$ which tends to zero as $n\to\infty$ for all $t\in I$.
The functions $y_{k,n}$ are equicontinuous as for $-t_2\le t<t'\le t_2$ we have
$$\begin{aligned}|y_{k,n+1}(t')-y_{k,n+1}(t)|&\le\textstyle\int_x^{t'}|f_k(t'',y_{k,n}(t''))|\,\mathrm{d}t''\\&\textstyle\le|t'-t|\sup_R|f_k|\le 2C|t'-t|,\end{aligned}$$
so by the Arzelà--Ascoli theorem they are relatively compact. In particular, for each $k$ there is a subsequence $(y_{k,\varphi_k(n)})_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$ converging uniformly to a continuous function $y_k:I\to\mathbb{R}$. Taking limit $n\to\infty$ in
$$\begin{aligned}\textstyle \left|y_{k,\varphi_k(n)}(t)-\int_0^xf_k(t',y_{k,\varphi_k(n)}(t'))\,\mathrm{d}t'\right|&=|y_{k,\varphi_k(n)}(t)-y_{k,\varphi_k(n)+1}(t)|\\&\le M_{k,\varphi_k(n)}(t_2)\end{aligned}$$
we conclude that $\textstyle y_k (t) = \int_0^t f_k(t', y_k(t')) \, \mathrm{d}t'$. The functions $y_k$ are in the closure of a relatively compact set, so they are themselves relatively compact. Thus there is a subsequence $y_{\psi(k)}$ converging uniformly to a continuous function $z:I\to\mathbb{R}$. Taking limit $k\to\infty$ in $\textstyle y_{\psi(k)}(t)=\int_0^t f_{\psi(k)}(t',y_{\psi(k)}(t'))\,\mathrm{d}t'$ we conclude that $\textstyle z(t)=\int_0^t f(t',z(t'))\,\mathrm{d}t'$, using the fact that $f_{\psi(k)}$ are equicontinuous by the Arzelà--Ascoli theorem. By the fundamental theorem of calculus, $z'(t) = f(t, z(t))$ in $I$.
## Related theorems {#related_theorems}
The Peano theorem can be compared with another existence result in the same context, the Picard--Lindelöf theorem. The Picard--Lindelöf theorem both assumes more and concludes more. It requires Lipschitz continuity, while the Peano theorem requires only continuity; but it proves both existence and uniqueness where the Peano theorem proves only the existence of solutions. To illustrate, consider the ordinary differential equation
$$y' = \left\vert y\right\vert^{\frac{1}{2}}$$ on the domain $\left[0, 1\right].$
According to the Peano theorem, this equation has solutions, but the Picard--Lindelöf theorem does not apply since the right hand side is not Lipschitz continuous in any neighbourhood containing 0. Thus we can conclude existence but not uniqueness. It turns out that this ordinary differential equation has two kinds of solutions when starting at $y(0)=0$, either $y(t)=0$ or $y(t)=t^2/4$. The transition between $y=0$ and $y=(t-C)^2/4$ can happen at any $C$.
The Carathéodory existence theorem is a generalization of the Peano existence theorem with weaker conditions than continuity.
The Peano existence theorem cannot be straightforwardly extended to a general Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$: for an open subset $D$ of $\mathbb{R}\times \mathcal{H}$, the continuity of $f\colon D \to \mathbb{R}$ alone is insufficient for guaranteeing the existence of solutions for the associated initial value problem

# National Park to Park Highway
The **National Park-to-Park Highway** was an auto trail in the United States in the 1910s and 1920s, plotted by A. L. Westgard. It followed a large loop through the West, connecting twelve national parks:
- Rocky Mountain National Park
- Yellowstone National Park
- Glacier National Park
- Mount Rainier National Park
- Crater Lake National Park
- Lassen Volcanic National Park
- Yosemite National Park
- General Grant National Park (now part of Kings Canyon)
- Sequoia National Park
- Zion National Park
- Grand Canyon National Park
- Mesa Verde National Park
## History
In 1914, Secretary of the Interior Lane entered into an agreement with the Office of Public Roads to develop road access to Glacier, Sequoia and Yosemite National Parks. When Stephen T. Mather became involved with the national parks, he invited the Office of Public Roads Engineer T. Warren Allen to speak at the 1915 Berkeley National Parks Conference. Mather had concerns over letting the Office of Public Roads develop highway systems within the national parks. While Allen\'s approach to public roads saw no difference between national forests and national parks, his involvement was an early indication of the public interest in driving.
It was the following year that Mather joined the campaign for the *Park-to-Park Highway*. The *National Park-to-Park Highway Association* was formed in 1916 and began promoting roads and roadway improvements in the Northwest and Rocky Mountain states. Other highway associations had been supporting a variety of routes linking the scenic wonders of the western national parks. In 1915, a Denver group of motorists took off on a 500 mi journey from Rocky Mountain National Park to Yellowstone. The Interstate Wonderland Trail Association was already promoting the next segment of the journey from Yellowstone to Glacier and then westward to Mount Rainier.
In 1917, the Parks Highway Association began marking the route from Glacier to Mount Rainier and added a southern segment to Crater Lake. By 1919, there were annual meetings of the National Park-to-Park supporters. That same year, Charles Goodwin was assigned as Superintendent at Glacier. Here, he began to work on developing potential routes through the park. When Mather\'s preference for an east-west link across the park was made known, he began looking for a route to link the two sides that would complement the Park-to-Park Highway. This route would become the Going-to-the-Sun Road.
By 1920, eleven states were involved in the Park-to-Park Highway program. The proposed route would cover 6000 mi of roads and numerous feeders to and from the various national parks

# Conchita Montenegro
**Conchita Montenegro** (born **Concepción Andrés Picado**; September 11, 1911 -- April 22, 2007) was a Spanish model, dancer, stage and screen actress. She was educated in a convent in Madrid.
## Screen success {#screen_success}
Montenegro came to Hollywood in June 1930 with a contract at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. She was 17 years old and could not speak English; however, in three months time, Montenegro became fluent enough to play the leading female part of Tamea Larrieau, Leslie Howard\'s love interest in the film *Never the Twain Shall Meet* (1931). *Never the Twain Shall Meet* is the English language version of a story written by Peter B. Kyne and was directed by W.S. Van Dyke.
Before this performance, Montenegro had been cast in special Spanish-language versions of MGM movies, such as *Call of the Flesh* and *Love in Every Port* (both 1930). The former starred Ramon Novarro, and the latter featured José Crespo.
Montenegro\'s next screen project was *Strangers May Kiss* (1931) starring Norma Shearer and Robert Montgomery, with Montenegro in the ingenue role as \"Spanish Dancer.\" By mid-1931, Montenegro had left MGM and signed with Fox Film Corporation.
## Train wreck {#train_wreck}
In August 1931, Montenegro was aboard the Southern Pacific Argonaut (passenger train) when the train derailed near Yuma, Arizona, two trainmen were killed in the crash. Luckily for Montenegro, she was riding in the second section along with actors Warner Baxter and Edmund Lowe. Forty others among the film company also riding in that section were spared injury when the second section missed hitting the first. The steam engine, two cars of the baggage car section, and a day coach overturned after the train struck a roadbed which had been softened by rain. The Argonaut was en route to a location shoot for *The Cisco Kid* (1931), in Tucson. Montenegro\'s character, \"Carmencita,\" was the primary female role and source of strife between the Lowe and Baxter characters.
## Fox starlet {#fox_starlet}
Montenegro was sometimes featured in stage shows which coincided with the screening of film premieres. One such instance was the premiere of *A Passport To Hell*, starring Elissa Landi. The movie debuted at the Loew\'s Kings Theater in August 1932. Montenegro provided the vaudeville entertainment beforehand. On another occasion, she teamed with Teddy Joyce in the stage show for the opening of *The Kennel Murder Case* (1933). The film screened at the Warner Brothers Hollywood Theater. Together with Will Rogers, Montenegro performed an *Adagio for Strings* number prior to the premiere of *Handy Andy* (1934).
Montenegro\'s movie career in America continued until 1940. That year, she performed the leading female part in *Eternal Melodies* (*Melodie eterne*), an Italian production. The story focused on the unrequited first love of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, played by Gino Cervi. Playing Aloisa Weber, Montenegro jilts the composer in this Italian language production.
## Private life {#private_life}
Montenegro applied for US citizenship in Chicago, Illinois, on March 16, 1932. She married a Brazilian actor, Raul Roulien, in Paris, France, on September 19, 1935. The couple toured South America and produced a motion picture called *Jangada* (1936).
Following a rare interview with Montenegro shortly before her death, Spanish author José Rey Ximena claims in his book, *El Vuelo del Ibis \[The Flight of the Ibis\]* that British actor Leslie Howard, with whom Montenegro had an affair after the pair starred together in *Never the Twain Shall Meet* (1931), used Montenegro to get close to Spanish leader Francisco Franco.
After filming several movies in Spain, the last of which was *Lola Montes* (1944), Montenegro retired from the cinema. She died in Madrid on April 22, 2007

# Gjevillvatnet
**Gjevillvatnet** is a lake in Oppdal Municipality in Trøndelag county, Norway. It is located in the Trollheimen mountain range, about 5 km south of the mountain Blåhøa and about 5 km northwest of the village of Vognillan.
The lake was regulated for hydroelectric power-production in the 1970s. Water is tapped from the bottom in the western part of the lake, for use in the Driva power station. In the spring, the water level can be 15 m below the natural water level. The river Festa runs out of the lake Gjevillvatnet, and it was once a very good trout river from where the lake is now, all the way down to the intake dam at the old powerstation (Vardammen). This river now mostly runs dry every year due to the dam on Gjevillvatnet, and the trout are almost non-existent in the watercourse.
The valley surrounding the lake is regarded as one of Norway\'s most scenic valleys, and a cruise boat runs on the lake during summer. Along the middle of the lake, lies the *Gjevillvasshytta*, a lodge owned by Trondheim Turistforening. Here guests can eat, sleep, and use the lodge as a starting point for walking trips in the Trollheimen mountains

# Conception Convent
The **Conception Convent** or **Zachatyevsky Monastery** (*Zachat\'yevskiy monastyr\'*) is a Russian Orthodox stauropegic convent on the northern bank of the Moskva River in Khamovniki District of Moscow. The convent was closed by the Bolsheviks in 1918 and did not reopen until 1995.
## History
Later sources claim that the convent occupies the site of the original Alekseyevsky (Alexis) Convent, the oldest nunnery in Moscow. It is believed to have been founded by Alexius, Metropolitan of Moscow in 1360 and was consecrated to the Feast of the Conception of Saint Anne. Notable nuns included Alexis\'s own sisters Eupraxia and Juliana, both canonized by the Russian Orthodox Church in 2000.
After the great fire of 1547, the convent was relocated eastward to the present-day site of the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour. In 1584, a new convent was established on the old site by Feodor I of Russia and his wife, Irina Godunova. The couple, being childless, asked the nuns of the Conception Convent to pray for the conception of their own child. (Another version asserts that the new convent was restored on the old site by the surviving nuns of the Alexeyevsky Convent immediately after the 1547 fire.) It was looted and sustained much damage during the Time of Troubles. The extant church over the main gate was built in 1696 with funds provided by the Rimsky-Korsakov noble family. This Naryshkin Baroque church and walls are the only remains of the convent as it existed before the Russian Revolution of 1917. The katholikon was built in 1804-1807 in the Russian Gothic style to Rodion Kazakov\'s designs. It was pulled down in the 1920s.
In the Soviet period, the convent buildings were used as a prison for juvenile delinquents. A school building was constructed on the site of the katholikon. A venerated icon of the Theotokos the Merciful was transferred to the nearby parish Church of St. Elijah.
## Reconstruction
Efforts to revive the convent began in 1991. It was officially reestablished in May 1995. By 2005, the church of St. Anne (third from right on the 1882 photograph) was completed. The Russian Orthodox Church declared the Gothic-influenced style of the old katholikon improper for a Russian Orthodox temple and demanded it to be rebuilt in a more traditional Byzantine style. In October 2006, Yuri Luzhkov approved a Russian Revival design by Alexander Obolensky on condition that the building\'s height would be decreased.
As of June, 2009, the new five-domed katholikon, made of in situ concrete, was structurally complete. On November 25, 2010 the Cathedral of the Nativity of Our Lady was consecrated. Construction works were financed by billionaire Dmitry Rybolovlev, who was awarded the Order of St. Seraphim of Sarov by Patriarch Kirill for funding this project.

# USA Capital
Popularly known as **USA Capital**, hard money lender USA Commercial Mortgage Co. (USACM) was a Las Vegas, Nevada based mortgage broker owned by Tom Hantges, Joe Milanowski which went bankrupt in 2006. Rodney Balinski was also a part of the company, as Tom Hantges\' and Joe Milanowski\'s assistant.
## Operations
\'USA Capital\', the hard money lender USA Commercial Mortgage Co.(USACM), was a Las Vegas, Nevada based mortgage broker owned by Tom Hantges and Joe Milanowski. Affiliated with the lending/brokerage activity at USACM was a management company, USA Securities, and two funds, the First Trust Deed Fund and for Nevada residents only, the Diversified Trust Deed Fund.
There were two general categories of investors;
- fund investors who pooled their cash with others and allowed USACM to select which investments would be made and
- direct lenders who desired to evaluate projects for themselves before investing in an individual loan.
Though there were instances of a single direct lender funding an entire loan, the vast majority of loans were funded by many entities, which included the two Trust Deed Funds themselves. Typically loans ranging from up to \$3,000,000 to \$30,000,000 would be funded by between 30 and 300 persons, each of whom was a fractional beneficiary of the promissory note.
The loans brokered by USACM offered investors high interest rates relative to the prevailing safe rates available on CDs and Treasury Notes. Publicly at least, USACM maintained a nearly unblemished record of stability and integrity for years and advertised that \"no investor has ever lost a penny of principal.\"
When borrowers approached USACM in need of money, USACM would negotiate hard terms. This included hefty upfront origination fees and loan points, ongoing servicing and extension fees, and back end equity participation or success fees all of which were payable to USACM. The retail investors received interest only.
Very often loans were made on land or projects that were very early in their development, entitlement or marketing stages. In most cases, these properties did not generate rental income so sales of units, or the refinance or sale of further entitled land was required to pay the investors back. Impound accounts sufficient to pay interest for the term of the loans were generally funded with the investor\'s own money and as a result repayment of most loans was almost entirely dependent on continuing high demand for condominium conversions and stable or accelerating demand for builder ready land.
## Bankruptcy
In 2005 with impound funds depleting and the reduced ability of borrowers to sell condos to the public or sell land to builders, borrowers began to default on their obligations. USACM hid this fact from both the Nevada regulators and the investors. In a bid to stay solvent USACM not only continued to collect fees by originating speculative loans into a weakening real estate market but told investors that loans had been extended when in fact the loans had paid off. The proceeds of the payoffs, instead of being paid to the rightful beneficiaries, were diverted to pay thousands of other investors their monthly interest checks. As such every loan in the portfolio appeared to be performing.
On April 13, 2006 the company declared bankruptcy. At the time of insolvency the company had 6,500 investors and was managing \$962,000,000 in investor assets, making it the biggest bankruptcy case in the history of Nevada.

## Court cases {#court_cases}
Marc Levinson, an attorney representing investors in USA Capital likened the operation to a Ponzi scheme. The bankruptcy court judge Linda Riegle ordered the appointment of a trustee to oversee matters when it was disclosed that Hantges and Milanowski owed \$9.8 million to a reputed former associate of Gambino crime family boss John Gotti.
In November 2006 some investors organized themselves as the USA Capital Lender Protection Group. By March 2007 membership had grown to over 750.
On March 15, 2007 New York City private equity firm Compass Partners announced they were the highest bidder at a bankruptcy court auction. The company paid \$47 million for the right to service most of the outstanding loans, and for the assets of the USA Capital First Trust Deed Fund. Many investors were opposed to the involvement of Compass.
The same month, investors received letters from the FBI informing them that they were possible victims of a crime and that USACM was under investigation. According to an investment prospectus distributed to the Diversified Fund investors all invested funds would be secured by real estate. This was not the case as at least one sizeable unsecured loan was made to an entity owned and controlled by one or more of the principals at USACM. As a result, Joseph Milanowski accepted a plea bargain and was sentenced to 12 years in prison on one count of wire fraud.
USA Capital\'s management was also found to be directly involved with several of the developers that were being funded, a conflict of interest and the Nevada Mortgage Lending Division later issued an opinion stating that the profit participations USACM negotiated on its own behalf while originating the loans were contrary to Nevada law.
On June 7, 2007, Michael Carmel, a Chapter 11 Trustee was appointed in the Thomas Hantges Bankruptcy Estate. The Trustee retained Brian Shapiro, Esq of the Law Office of Brian D. Shapiro, LLC as his local Las Vegas Bankruptcy counsel and Robbin Itkin, Esq. of the Law Office of Steptoe and Johnson as his general counsel. They are currently investigating the assets and transactions of Thomas Hantges

# Justicia adhatoda
***Justicia adhatoda*** commonly known in English as **Malabar nut**, **adulsa**, adhatoda, vasa, vasaka, is native to Asia. *Adathoda* means \'untouched by goats\' in Tamil. The name derives from the fact that animals like goats do not eat this plant due to its extreme bitter taste.
The plant\'s native range is Afghanistan, the Indian subcontinent (Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Nepal and Sri Lanka), Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam. It has been introduced elsewhere.
It is used as a traditional medicinal plant.
## Description
*Justicia adhatoda* is a shrub with 10-20 lance-shaped leaves 8-9 centimeters in length by four wide. They are oppositely arranged, smooth-edged, and borne on short petioles. When dry they are of a dull brownish-green colour. They are bitter-tasting. When a leaf is cleared with chloral hydrate and examined microscopically the oval stomata can be seen. They are surrounded by two crescent-shaped cells at right angles to the ostiole. The epidermis bears simple one- to three-celled warty hairs, and small glandular hairs. Cystoliths occur beneath the epidermis of the underside of the blade.
The trunk has many long opposite ascending branches, where the bark is yellowish in color. Flowers are usually white and the inflorescence shows large, dense, axillary spikes. Fruits are pubescent, and are with club-shaped capsules.
## Chemical composition {#chemical_composition}
The leaves of *Justicia adhatoda* contains phytochemicals such as alkaloids, tannins, saponins, phenolics and flavonoids. The most important is vasicine, a quinazoline alkaloid. The vasicine yield of the herbage has been measured as 0.541 to 1.1% by dry weight. Bromhexine, a serine protease inhibitor with mucolytic properties available over-the-counter in Europe, was developed from research on *Justicia adhatoda*

# Isn't She Great
***Isn\'t She Great*** is a 2000 American biographical comedy-drama film that presents a fictionalized biography of author Jacqueline Susann, played by Bette Midler. An international co-production between the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Japan, the film was directed by Andrew Bergman from a screenplay by Paul Rudnick based on a 1995 *New Yorker* profile by Michael Korda.
In addition to Midler and Lane, the film stars Stockard Channing as Susann\'s \"gal pal\" Florence Maybelle, David Hyde Pierce as book editor Michael Hastings, and John Cleese as publisher Henry Marcus. John Larroquette, Amanda Peet, Christopher McDonald, Debbie Shapiro, and Paul Benedict have supporting roles. Opening in 750 US theaters on January 28, 2000, it received negative reviews from critics and earned only \$3 million at the box office, far less than its cost of \$36 million. Midler was nominated for a Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Actress.
## Plot
The film covers Susann\'s entire life, focusing on her early struggles as an aspiring actress relentlessly hungry for fame, her relationship with press agent husband Irving Mansfield (Nathan Lane), with whom she had an institutionalized autistic son, her success as the author of *Valley of the Dolls*, and her battle with and subsequent death from breast cancer.
## Cast
## Production
The film was an international production, with the BBC, Lobell-Bergman Productions, Marbeni, Mutual Film Corporation, Tele München, Toho and Universal Pictures contributing, making it an American-British-German-Japanese co-production.Despite the international production, the film was not released in Japan.
## Reception
*Isn\'t She Great* was not well received by critics, as the film holds a 24% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 62 reviews. The site\'s consensus states, \"Bland material produces entirely forgettable comic performances.\" `{{MC film|34|34|ref=yes|access-date=June 13, 2025}}`{=mediawiki}
Elvis Mitchell of *The New York Times* praised Midler, Lane, and Cleese, but opined that screenwriter \"Rudnick and the director Andrew Bergman (*The In-Laws,* \'Honeymoon in Vegas\') have so defanged \'Isn\'t She Great\' that it\'s like watching a sketch from the old \'Carol Burnett Show\' that has mildewed.\" In contrast, Stephanie Zacharek of *Salon* gave a positive review. She admitted the film plays \"fast and loose with facts,\" but described it as \"a cupcake of a movie, a sweet and lightweight little thing that\'s all but served up in a ruffled paper cup.\" She praised the cast, particularly Lane, writing \"what makes him so remarkable is that, even within the broadness of his role and the overarching, at times almost overwhelming, broadness of the picture itself, he manages an astonishing emotional delicacy.\"
Peter Stack of the *San Francisco Chronicle* said, \"As a showbiz story, \'Isn\'t She Great\' tends to work OK, even if there\'s no display (fortunately) of the subject\'s talents. The showbiz feel is the film\'s main aim, inferred by the casting of klieg-light legends Midler and Lane, and by delineating Susann as a wannabe who succeeded in gaining the world fame of an entertainer.\" He concluded the film works better as \"an amusing look at self-invention and bravado.\" In a one-star review for the *Chicago Sun-Times,* Roger Ebert said, \"I was hoping for satire, but they\'ve made a flat and peculiar film that in its visual look and dramatic style might be described as the final movie of the 1950s.\"
## Soundtrack

# Chipley station
**Chipley station** is a former intercity railroad station in Chipley, Florida. It is currently the headquarters of the Washington County Historical Society. The grounds include two former train stations: the **Louisville and Nashville Depot** and **Bill Lee Station**. The station was served by Amtrak\'s *Sunset Limited* train until service was suspended after Hurricane Katrina struck in 2005. Amtrak has proposed reopening the station as part of a restored *Sunset Limited* route in the future.
## History
Chipley, Florida, named for William Dudley Chipley, came into existence as a stop on the Pensacola and Atlantic Railroad around 1882. The P&A was absorbed by the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, who built the Louisville and Nashville Depot in downtown Chipley. Later, rail service was moved to a smaller building close to the tracks, Bill Lee Station. This served as Chipley\'s stop on Amtrak\'s *Sunset Limited* until 2005, when Amtrak suspended the *Sunset Limited* east of New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. The old L&N depot became a farmers\' market and the headquarters of the Washington County Chamber of Commerce. In 2010, the Washington County Historical Society acquired the site, including both buildings, and adapted them as a museum and headquarters

# Mobile database
Mobile computing devices (e.g., smartphones and PDAs) store and share data over a mobile network, or access a database which is actually stored by the mobile device. This could be a list of contacts, price information, distance travelled, or any other information.
Many applications require the ability to download information from an information repository and operate on this information even when out of range or disconnected. An example of this is accessing your contacts and calendar on a mobile phone. In this scenario, a user would require access to update information from files in the home directories on a server or customer records from a database. This type of access and work load generated by such users is different from the traditional workloads seen in client--server systems of today.
Mobile databases are not used solely for the revision of company contacts and calendars, but are also utilized in a number of industries.
## Considerations
- Mobile users must be able to work without a network connection due to poor or even non-existent connections. A cache could be maintained to hold recently accessed data and transactions so that they are not lost due to connection failure. Users might not require access to truly live data, only recently modified data, and uploading of changes might be deferred until reconnected.
- Bandwidth must be conserved (a common requirement on wireless networks that charge per megabyte or data transferred).
- Mobile computing devices tend to have slower CPUs and limited battery life.
- Users with multiple devices (e.g. smartphone and tablet) need to synchronize their devices to a centralized data store. This may require application-specific automation features.
This is in database theory known as \"replication\", and good mobile database system should provide tools for automatic replication that takes into account that others may have modified the same data as you while you were away, and not just the last update is kept, but also supports \"merge\" of variants.
- Users may change location geographically and on the network. Usually dealing with this is left to the operating system, which is responsible for maintaining the wireless network connection.

# Time Limit (film)
***Time Limit*** is a 1957 American legal drama film directed by Karl Malden, based on the 1956 Broadway play of the same name by Henry Denker and Ralph Berkey. The film is Malden\'s only directing credit; in his autobiography, Malden stated that he \"preferred being a good actor to being a fairly good director.\"
Richard Widmark co-produced the film and stars alongside Richard Basehart, who was nominated for the BAFTA Award for Best Foreign Actor for his performance.
## Plot
Army Colonel William Edwards (Richard Widmark) is investigating the case of Major Harry Cargill (Richard Basehart), accused of collaborating with the enemy while he and his unit were held captive in a North Korean prisoner of war camp. Cargill willingly admits his guilt and brings forth evidence that proves that he signed a germ-warfare confession and broadcast anti-American speeches over the radio, seemingly an act of treason.
It seems to be an open-and-shut case, were it not for Cargill\'s inexplicable refusal to defend himself. Arousing further suspicion is the fact that his collaboration immediately followed the deaths of two of his soldiers, and the unit\'s survivors all recite an identical, rehearsed account of those deaths. Edwards\' commander, General Connors (Carl Benton Reid), has a strong personal interest---his son, Captain Joe Connors (Yale Wexler), was one of those who died---and presses Edwards to recommend a court-martial, but Edwards delves into the mystery, refusing to accept the facile explanations.
In the end, the shocking truth comes out. Lieutenant George Miller (Rip Torn) reveals that, after Lieutenant Harvey (Manning Ross) was killed trying to escape, the rest of the men discovered that, under torture, Captain Connors had betrayed him. Over Cargill\'s strong objections, they decided to execute Connors. Drawing the short straw, Miller strangled him. Subsequently, their captor, Colonel Kim (Khigh Dhiegh), gave Cargill an ultimatum: give in, or all his men would be executed. He agreed to collaborate to save their lives.
General Connors calls his son a traitor. Cargill argues with him, stating that there must be a time limit on being a hero. He denounces the Uniform Code of Military Justice espoused by General Connors for demanding too much from soldiers, but the general reminds him that, while Cargill anguished over the lives and families of 16 men, many commanders had to anguish over the effect of their orders on the lives and families of thousands.
Edwards agrees with General Connors that although Cargill acted out of a humane selflessness, Cargill\'s judgment was flawed. He recommends that all charges be dropped, but warns Cargill that there will be a court-martial. Edwards himself will defend Cargill. Maybe they won\'t come up with all the answers, Edwards tells him, but \"they\'ll know we asked the questions.\"

## Production
In addition to playing the lead, Richard Widmark also co-produced *Time Limit*. Widmark reportedly paid \$100,000 to The Theatre Guild for the film rights to the play *Time Limit*. It was the first picture for Widmark\'s independent production company, Heath Productions, Inc.
It was also his idea to have his friend and colleague, Karl Malden, direct it. In a 1988 interview about the film, Malden said, \"Widmark thought I\'d be good directing it, and I said \'Sure, I\'d take a crack at it.\' I liked what it had to say.\" Critics gave Malden good reviews for his first directorial effort. (It turned out to be his only directing credit, with the exception of some scenes he filmed for Delmer Daves in *The Hanging Tree*, released in 1959.) One reviewer praised the movie for its \"taut direction and vigorous performances drawn not only from principals, but a supporting cast of promising new-comers.\"
The outdoor scenes on an US Army post were shot on location at Fort Jay, then an active Army post located on Governors Island, New York in early May 1957. The opening scene in the film shows Colonel Edwards walking through the island, and passing through Liggett Hall. The Korean prison camp scenes were shot at the Conejo Ranch near Agoura, California

# Peter & the Wolf ("Weird Al" Yankovic and Wendy Carlos album)
***Peter & the Wolf/Carnival of the Animals -- Part II*** is a studio album by American parody singer-songwriter and musician \"Weird Al\" Yankovic and composer and keyboardist Wendy Carlos, released in October 1988 on CBS Records. It features a comical adaptation of the orchestral works *Peter and the Wolf* by Sergei Prokofiev and *The Carnival of the Animals* by Camille Saint-Saëns.
## Accolades
The album was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Album for Children at the 31st ceremony.
## Background
Wendy Carlos was invited by CBS Records to work on the project with Yankovic. She had greatly enjoyed the collaboration, later recounting that \"the project was a chance for some musical fun and tomfoolery, working with a bright, witty collaborator, before getting back to more adventurous tuning and timbre projects.\" Carlos wrote new music for both stories.
## Tracks
\"Peter and the Wolf\" track reprises the original story, with some humorous changes. The animals are named: Billy the Bird, Bruce the Duck, Louie the Cat, and Seymour the Wolf. There is also a new minor character named Bob the Janitor, represented musically by Yankovic\'s signature instrument, the accordion. After a long conflict between Peter and the wolf, Peter catches the wolf with dental floss. The moral of the story is \"Oral hygiene is very important, make sure you see your dentist at least twice a year\".
\"The Carnival of the Animals -- Part Two\" is a parody of *The Carnival of the Animals* by Camille Saint-Saëns. The introduction explains: \"Camille, in his research, was slightly behind, and I guess that some critters just plain slipped his mind, so to fill in this void in the Animal Kingdom, I\'ll read some new verses. I\'m not gonna sing \'em.\"
## Release
On the LP and cassette releases, each side is one continuous track; the CD separates the parts of side 2. As of 2022, the CD, LP, and cassette releases of *Peter and the Wolf* are all out of print and have become collector\'s items, all of which going for very high prices on both Amazon and eBay

# Kentucky Retros
The **Kentucky Retros** was a professional basketball team based in Louisville, Kentucky that was scheduled to begin play in the American Basketball Association (ABA) in 2007.
The team was originally located in Murray, Kentucky and named the Kentucky Colonels after the Louisville-based teams that had played in the ABA previously, but the name was changed in March 2007 in deference to the tradition of those teams. The original Kentucky Colonels were a part of the ABA from 1967 to 1976. On July 17, 1976, owner of the Colonels, John Y. Brown Jr., agreed to a deal worth \$3,000,000 that saw the end of the team just ahead of the 1976 ABA--NBA merger.
Unlike their predecessors, the Retros did not stay around for a complete season. The team folded during the 2007--08 season.
## 2007--08 season

# Trapped in the Drive-Thru
\"**Trapped in the Drive-Thru**\" is the eleventh song from \"Weird Al\" Yankovic\'s twelfth studio album *Straight Outta Lynwood*, which was released on September 26, 2006. This song is a parody of *Trapped in the Closet* by R. Kelly. To date, the song is Yankovic\'s longest parody, and his second longest song ever released on his studio albums (with the longest being \"Albuquerque\").
The song contains an interpolation of \"Black Dog\" by Led Zeppelin at 6:24, when the main character turns on the radio. The interpolation was recorded by Yankovic\'s band. Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page is a noted fan of Yankovic\'s work, but had previously denied permission for Yankovic to perform a Led Zeppelin polka medley on an album.
The song was listed by *Rolling Stone* as number seventy-seven in their Best Songs of 2006.
## Origin and writing {#origin_and_writing}
Yankovic felt compelled to write this parody because he felt the original was \"brilliant and wonderful and ridiculous all at the same time\". Yankovic would normally have considered taking the original song and making lyrics that were \"more bizarre than they already are\", but the original R. Kelly song was already bizarre to start with, according to Yankovic. Instead, to contrast the original, \"Trapped in the Drive-Thru\" uses the very dramatic structure of the original to tell an extremely banal tale of a couple\'s attempts to pick up their dinner one night, one of the most \"banal and mundane\" stories Yankovic could think of.
Much like how the original was divided into various chapters (as of now 33) Yankovic\'s is also divided, into 3 chapters, although they are not divided on the album itself. Yankovic had received R. Kelly\'s permission to parody the song, but due to its length, he was worried that he would have to pay 2-3 times the normal statutory rate for inclusion on the album, which would have potentially forced him to remove one or two songs from *Straight Outta Lynwood*. However, Kelly allowed Yankovic to use the full song at the rate of a single song, allowing Yankovic to keep his album intact.
## Music video {#music_video}
An animated music video was released on MySpace on March 19, 2007. The video is now on YouTube and has received over 32 million views as of March 2025. The video was created by Doug Bresler, creator of Doogtoons. It was the ninth music video produced for the album *Straight Outta Lynwood*.
The video was also featured as Channel Frederator\'s 100th episode. In June 2008, \"Trapped in the Drive-Thru\" received the award of Funniest Film of 2007 at the *Channel Frederator Awards*

# Kalasa-Banduri Nala project
The **Kalasa-Banduri Nala** is a project undertaken by the Government of Karnataka to improve drinking water supply to the Districts of Belagavi, Bagalkot, Dharwad and Gadag. It involves building across Kalasa and Banduri, two tributaries of the Mahadayi river to divert 7.56 TMC of water to the Malaprabha river, which supplies the drinking water needs of the said 4 districts, i.e., Dharwad, Belagavi Bagalkot and Gadag. This project had been on paper for decades and the Karnataka government decided to implement it during S M Krishna\'s regime. Clearance for the project was received from the center in 2002. The project however, soon ran into trouble when the then Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government of Goa headed by Manohar Parrikar raised objections to the project claiming that the project would harm Goa\'s flora and fauna. Following this, the then National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government which was in power at the center put on hold its approval and funding of the project.
Karnataka and Goa have since then been at loggerheads over the project. The project which had been put in abeyance for four years was revived after H. D. Kumaraswamy became the Chief Minister. In September 2006, the coalition government in Karnataka headed by Chief Minister H. D. Kumaraswamy decided to go ahead with the construction work. It was inaugurated on 22 September at Kanakumbi in Khanapur Taluk of Belgaum District. The Goa government, however, soon moved the courts and brought a stay on the construction work. The matter is now before the Mahadayi Water Disputes Tribunal.
**Protest to Implement the Project**\
Communist Party of India (Marxist) organized a rally in Belagavi on 16 September 2015 to implement this long time-pending project. CPI(M) State Secretary GV Srirama Reddy along with his colleague Swamy, Varalaxmi and district secretary G.M. Jaine Khan lead this rally. GV Srirama Reddy said \"The present imbroglio on the projects to the long pursued politics between the Congress and the BJP in Karnataka and Goa.\" Srirama Reddy was critical of Prime Minister Narendra Modi for throwing the ball in the courts of Congress instead of taking a lead to resolve the dispute: \"It is unbecoming of a Prime Minister to take a political stand based on his political differences with Congress on an issue concerning people.\" A statewide bandh was organized by pro-Kannada organizations on Sept 26, 2015 demanding the implementation of the project. The agitation in the malaprabha catchment area under various organisations has now reached 265 days.
**Present status of the Project**\
Central Water Commission has approved the DPR (Detailed Project Report) submitted by Karnataka as on 29th December 2022. Karnataka has received the green signal to divert 2.18 tmc (61.8 Mcum) of Mahadayi river at the proposed Banduri Dam, and 1.72 tmc (48.7 Mcum) of the water at the proposed Kalasa Dam
