2,607 | Kartini | Raden Adjeng Kartini (21 April 1879 –17 September 1904), sometimes known as Raden Ayu Kartini, was a prominent Indonesian national hero from Java. She was a pioneer in the area of education for girls and women's rights for Indonesians. Born into an aristocratic Javanese family in the Dutch East Indies, now Indonesia, she attended a Dutch-language primary school. She aspired to further education but the option was unavailable to her and other girls in Javanese society. She came into contact with various officials and influential people, including J.H. Abendanon, who was in charge of implementing the Dutch Ethical Policy. Kartini wrote letters about her ideas and feelings, and they were published in a Dutch magazine and later as: Out of Darkness to Light, Women's Life in the Village, and Letters of a Javanese Princess. Her birthday is now celebrated as Kartini Day in Indonesia. She took an interest in mysticism and opposed polygamy. Her advocacy for the education of girls was continued by her sisters. Kartini Schools were named for her and a fund established in her name to fund the education of girls. Biography Kartini was born into an aristocratic Javanese family when Java was part of the Dutch colony of the Dutch East Indies. Kartini's father Sosroningrat became Regency Chief of Jepara. Kartini's father was originally the district chief of Mayong. Her mother Ngasirah was the daughter of Madirono and a teacher of religion in Telukawur. She was his first wife but not the most important one. At this time, polygamy was a common practice among the nobility. Colonial regulations required a regency chief to marry a member of the nobility. Since Ngasirah was not of sufficiently high nobility, Sosroningrat married a second time to Woerjan (Moerjam), a direct descendant of the Raja of Madura. After this second marriage, Kartini's father was elevated to Regency Chief of Jepara, replacing his second wife's own father, Tjitrowikromo. Kartini was the fifth child and second-eldest daughter in a family of eleven, including half siblings. She was born into a family with a strong intellectual tradition. Her grandfather, Pangeran Ario Tjondronegoro IV, became a regency chief at the age of 25, while Kartini's older brother Sosrokartono was an accomplished linguist. Kartini's family allowed her to attend school until she was 12 years old. Here, among other subjects, she learned to speak Dutch, an unusual accomplishment for Javanese women at the time. After she turned 12 she was secluded (pingit) at home, a common practice among Javanese nobility, to prepare young girls for their marriage. During seclusion girls were not allowed to leave their parents' house until they were married, at which point authority over them was transferred to their husbands. Kartini's father was more lenient than some during his daughter's seclusion, giving her such privileges as embroidery lessons and occasional appearances in public for special events. During her seclusion, Kartini continued to educate herself on her own. Because she could speak Dutch, she acquired several Dutch pen friends. One of them, a girl by the name of Rosa Abendanon, became a close friend. Books, |

2,609 | 44 Andromedae | 44 Andromedae is a single, yellow-white hued star in the northern constellation of Andromeda. 44 Andromedae is the Flamsteed designation. It has an apparent visual magnitude of approximately 5.67, which indicates it is a dim star that is just visible to the naked eye on a dark night. The annual parallax shift as measured by the Hipparcos spacecraft is 19.13 mas, which yields a distance estimate of around 170 light years. It is moving closer to the Sun with a radial velocity of −14 km/s. This star has been assigned a stellar classification of F8 V, which indicates it is an ordinary F-type main-sequence star. However, Gray et al. (2001) gave it a class of F9 IV, suggesting it is instead a subgiant star that is evolving away from the main sequence as the hydrogen fuel at its core becomes exhausted. It is an estimated 2.6 billion years old and is rotating with a period of 15.2 days. The star has 1.64 times the mass of the Sun and 3.6 times the Sun's radius. It is radiating 13 times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 6,028 K. It appears overluminous for a star of its type which may indicate the presence of a bright companion, but no radial velocity variation has been detected.

2,611 | Dortmund rail freight bypass | The Dortmund freight bypass railway () is a railway line in the north of the city of Dortmund in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia. It is designed for the carriage of freight only, allowing freight trains that pass through Dortmund to avoid Dortmund Hauptbahnhof, reducing delays to passenger traffic and reducing threat of dangerous accidents in the city centre. Mengede–Scharnhorst line In 1903, the Prussian state railways opened a line between Mengede and Dortmund-Scharnhorst station, which had two tracks from the start. The route connected at Nette junction to the former trunk line of the Cologne-Minden Railway Company, running from Dortmund Hauptbahnhof to Herne. At Deusen junction it also formerly connected with the link to the former Dortmund freight yard (Dortmunder Güterbahnhof), which was located just north and parallel with the Duisburg–Dortmund railway and has been disused since 30 June 2004. As described in the following section, it next connects at Buschstraße junction with the former Emscher Valley Railway of the Royal Westphalian Railway Company from Dortmund Bodelschwingh to Dortmund-Huckarde Süd, now used by line S2 of the Rhine-Ruhr S-Bahn. From there it passes through the rural north of the city of Dortmund, initially through the immediate vicinity of the former Fürst Hardenberg colliery towards Obereving. This is the location of the only freight yard in Dortmund still operated by DB Schenker, which serves as a transfer station for the Dortmund Port Railway (Dortmunder Hafenbahn) and for other transfer operations in the area. The hump at the western end, however, is closed. In the immediate neighbourhood south of it there is a freight yard of the Dortmund Railway (Dortmunder Eisenbahn), which also operates traffic to the Westphalian steel works (Westfalenhütte) and on the port railway. Here a branch connects to the Dortmund–Enschede railway and various branch lines connect the two lines to the port and to Fürst Hardenberg colliery. The line runs through the premises of Westphalian steel works and on the southern edge of Scharnhorst to reach Dortmund-Scharnhorst station, which was called Bahnhof Dortmund-Flughafen (Dortmund Airport station) from 1928 to 1986 after the nearby airfield in the suburb of Brackel. The line has been electrified since 1963 (Nette–Obereving) and 1965 (Obereving–Scharnhorst) and it is active to this day for regional and national freight traffic, especially on weekends because of the closure of the Oberhausen-Osterfeld Süd–Hamm railway. It also serves as a detour route for passenger traffic when tracks are closed in the Dortmund Hauptbahnhof area. Huckarde Süd–Deusen line Only 2.3 kilometres long, the link from Deusen junction to Buschstraße junction is one of the shortest railways in Dortmund. It was built in 1942 to provide a direct extension of the bypass to provide a connection from the important freight yards in the north of the Dortmund urban area to the yards in the southwest of Dortmund. The direct link was used to connect several lines to the Dortmund-Huckarde Süd freight yard, including the Dortmund Süd–Bodelschwingh railway opened in 1878 by the Royal Westphalian Railway Company and the connection to Rahm on the Duisburg-Ruhrort–Dortmund railway. In 1965, the stretch from Huckarde |

2,613 | Hillsboro Gap | Hillsboro Gap, also known as the Gap in the Short Hill is a water gap in the Short Hill Mountain formed by the North Fork of the Catoctin Creek in Loudoun County, Virginia. The gap derives its name from the town of Hillsboro, which is nestled in the gap. Virginia State Route 9 passes through the gap in the town. In colonial times the main road between Alexandria and Winchester, Vestal's Gap Road, passed through the gap. That road eventually became the Charles Town Pike and modern day Route 9. The gap poses a substantial barrier to the widening of the congested road as the historic town completely fills the gap and as such Route 9 would have to be routed around or over the Short Hill Mountain to be widened.

2,615 | Chaetorellia australis | Chaetorellia australis is a species of tephritid fruit fly known as the yellow starthistle peacock fly. It is used as an agent of biological pest control against the noxious weed yellow starthistle (Centaurea solstitialis). The adult fly is light golden yellow in color with small black spots on its body and stripes on its wings. The male fly is about 4 millimeters long and the female is slightly longer due to her large ovipositor. The female lays up to 240 cylindrical eggs beneath the bracts on the flower heads of yellow starthistle. The larva emerges and tunnels into the flower head, where it feeds on developing seeds. A larva might destroy up to 90% of the developing seeds inside a given flower head. It overwinters inside the head and pupates into an adult fly. There are at least two generations per year. The first generation often utilizes the minor weed cornflower (Centaurea cyanus) before continuing reproduction on yellow starthistle. Sometimes the fly is difficult to introduce to an area if there is no cornflower growing nearby. C. australis generally occurs in low numbers and does not seem to have had much impact on starthistle seed production. This fly is native to southern Europe and the Mediterranean. It was first introduced to the United States for the purposes of biocontrol in 1988. It is now established throughout the northwestern United States.

2,623 | Acquired characteristic | An acquired characteristic is a non-heritable change in a function or structure of a living biotic material caused after birth by disease, injury, accident, deliberate modification, variation, repeated use, disuse, or misuse, or other environmental influences. Acquired traits, which is synonymous with acquired characteristics, are not passed on to offspring through reproduction alone.The birth mark will not be counted as a inherited characteristic feature. The changes that constitutes acquired characteristics can have many manifestations and degrees of visibility but they all have one thing in common: they change a facet of a living organisms' function or structure after the organism has left the womb. The children of former bodybuilder Arnold Schwarzenegger may have highly developed or otherwise above average musculature. "Lucky", an adult, three-legged dog who got her name after surviving being hit by a car when she was a pup, just gave birth to five puppies. None had limps, malformed/abnormal legs, or were missing a leg. Bonsai are normal plants that have been grown to remain small through cultivation techniques. Acquired characteristics can be minor and temporary like bruises, blisters, shaving body hair, and body building. Permanent but inconspicuous or invisible ones are corrective eye surgery and organ transplant or removal. Semi-permanent but inconspicuous or invisible traits are vaccinations and laser hair removal. Perms, tattoos, scars, and amputations are semi-permanent and highly visible. Applying makeup and nail polish, dying one's hair or applying henna to the skin, and tooth whitening are not examples of acquired traits. They change the appearance of a facet of an organism, but do not change the structure or functionality. Inheritance of acquired characters was historically proposed by renowned theorists such as Hippocrates, Aristotle, and French naturalist Jean-Baptiste Lamarck. Conversely, this hypothesis was denounced by other renowned theorists such as Charles Darwin. Today, although Lamarckism is generally discredited, there is still debate on whether some acquired characteristics in organisms are actually inheritable. Disputes Acquired characteristics, by definition, are characteristics that are gained by an organism after birth as a result of external influences or its own activities that change its structure or function and cannot be inherited. Therefore, every condition an organism is born with must be considered an inherited characteristic. Inherited characteristics, by definition, are characteristics that are gained or predisposed to by an organism as a result of genetic transmission from its parents and will be passed to the organism's offspring. Therefore, every condition an organism does not gain or develop because of inheritance of its parents' genetic information must be considered an acquired characteristic. Eye color It is fairly common for mammalian eyes to change color in the first years of life. This happens, with human infants and kittens being some well-known examples, because the eyes of the baby, just like the rest of its body, are still developing. This change can be as simple as blue to brown, or can involve multiple color changes in which neither the child's parents nor his/her doctors know when the changes will stop and what the final eye color will be.

2,625 | William L. McKnight | William L. McKnight (November 11, 1887 – March 4, 1978) was an American businessman and philanthropist who served his entire career in the 3M corporation, rising to chairman of the board from 1949 to 1966. He founded the McKnight Foundation in 1953. Biography William L. McKnight was the third child born to homesteaders Joseph and Cordelia McKnight, who left the East in 1880 to claim a homestead in South Dakota. William was born in the family's sod house in White, South Dakota. McKnight attended Duluth Business University, and after attending school for only 4 months of the 6 month program, began working for 3M Corporation as an Assistant Bookkeeper in May 1907, at a salary of $11.55 per week. McKnight began to understand the dire financial situation of 3M, and his ideas for making better products and cutting costs gained the admiration of the general manager, who promoted McKnight to cost accountant. Two years after that, he was placed in charge of the company's Chicago office. In 1914, McKnight was promoted to general manager of 3M, and moved to the company's headquarters in St. Paul. In June 1916 McKnight became 3M's vice president at age 29. Soon afterwards, Edgar Ober, the company's President, became ill, leaving McKnight running 3M - he officially became president in August 1929. He served as president until 1949, as chairman of the board from 1949–1966, and as honorary chairman of the board until 1972. McKnight's business sense and emphasis on research and development helped bring 3M back from the brink of bankruptcy and turn it into the large, multinational corporation. McKnight was inducted into the Junior Achievement U.S. Business Hall of Fame in 1995. Business philosophy McKnight encouraged 3M management to delegate responsibility and encourage men and women to exercise their initiative and his management theories are still the guiding principles for 3M. Many believe McKnight's greatest contribution was as a business philosopher, since he created a corporate culture that encourages employee initiative and innovation. His basic rule of management was laid out in 1948: As our business grows, it becomes increasingly necessary to delegate responsibility and to encourage men and women to exercise their initiative. This requires considerable tolerance. Those men and women, to whom we delegate authority and responsibility, if they are good people, are going to want to do their jobs in their own way. Mistakes will be made. But if a person is essentially right, the mistakes he or she makes are not as serious in the long run as the mistakes management will make if it undertakes to tell those in authority exactly how they must do their jobs. Management that is destructively critical when mistakes are made kills initiative. And it's essential that we have many people with initiative if we are to continue to grow. McKnight Foundation The McKnight Foundation was established in Minneapolis in 1953 by William L. McKnight and his wife, Maude L. McKnight. One of the early leaders of 3M, William L. McKnight rose from assistant bookkeeper to president and CEO in a career that spanned 59 |
2,626 | Tunisian Americans | Tunisian Americans are Americans of Tunisian descent. Tunisia–United States relations date back more than 200 years. History Prior to the arrival of Peace Corps and Amideast volunteers in the early-1960s and 1970s, there was little interest on the part of Tunisians to emigrate to the US. In 1981, the U.S. launched its Technology Transfer Program in Tunisia with the goal of increasing Tunisia's long-term capacity to apply new technologies in support of the development of a market economy. The Technology Transfer Program aimed to accomplish this by developing a substantial cadre of individuals with the skills and attitudes needed to develop and sustain a competitive, open market system. USAID/Tunis to date has obligated $45 million under the Project, has dispersed all but about $3 million of that total. Through the TTP, young and intelligent Tunisians were granted the opportunity to pursue studies in the United States. By the late-1990s, the number of Tunisians in United States started to grow, reaching around 8,000 through the launch of the Diversity Immigrant Visa program. Building a Tunisian-American community In 1998, the idea of building a Tunisian-American community was born; an impossible task, considering the dispersion of the community (basically diluted between the West Coast, Northeast and Southeast areas) and the size of the country. At that time, the Internet and high-tech telecommunications started to grow and evolve. So, the strategy was to build a virtual community that would, in time, be merged with the offline community. By late 1998, way before Facebook, MySpace and Twitter, http://www.tunisiancommunity.org/ became "the Cultural Home" for Tunisians in America and the Tunisian Community Center, their institution. The modest website, with the help of several tech-savvy Tunisian volunteers over the years, became what is now a powerful, interactive Web presence. Over the years, in spite of always being seen thru a "political lens", thanks to steadfast leadership and many dedicated volunteers, the organization was able to inspire the formation of local chapters that operate autonomously, but carry out the mission of the organization by conducting community-based activities that raise the profile of Tunisia in the United States and promote cross-cultural literacy.

2,629 | WPKO-FM | WPKO-FM (98.3 FM) is an American radio station in Bellefontaine, Ohio. It is programmed in a Hot AC radio format, and is almost entirely locally produced. The station is owned by V-Teck Communications, and is the sister station to WBLL 1390 AM. History WPKO originally signed on the air on June 1, 1969 with the call letters WOGM (for "Ohio's Good Music") before switching to WTOO-FM with a contemporary hit format on June 1, 1978 as "Stereo Too 98" . The station became WPKO-FM on February 19, 1988. For a time, the -FM suffix was required as part of the call letters to differentiate the station from its AM sister station, now known as WBLL. While this remains the station's official call letters, the station now is commonly known as WPKO. On January 6, 2005, a major ice storm caused a loss of power to the broadcast facilities. As a result, WPKO was knocked off the air for several hours. V-Teck Communications has recently obtained emergency power generators to ensure this does not happen again.

Ramshaw was originally a mining village and is home to one restaurants, the Bridge Inn. The River Gaunless runs through Ramshaw. The name Gaunless itself is of later Norse origin, meaning useless. It is believed that this derives from the river's inability to power a mill, sustain fish or create fertile floodplains.

2,642 | Interpretations of Genesis | The Book of Genesis has been interpreted in many ways, including literally, religiously, and allegorically. Religious interpretations The Book of Genesis is regarded as a religious text by several faiths, including Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Many adherents of those faiths interpret Genesis literally, while others interpret it as a metaphor or symbolism. Allegorical interpretation The Book of Genesis is considered by many to be an allegorical source of morality and ethics. A readily available example of this is an allegorical interpretation the book's description of days passing during creation. An allegorical conclusion of the passage may conclude that these were not 24-hour periods because stars were only created on the fourth day. A 'phase' interpretation as the one described is commonly used as the basis for Old Earth creationism Literal interpretation The Book of Genesis is often interpreted to be a factual and historical account of how the earth was created by the Judeo-Christian God, and the earliest accounts of mankind. Groups such as Answers in Genesis and individuals such as Ken Ham and Kent Hovind use this belief to critique modern scientific theories regarding evolution, the age of the Earth, and various aspects of physical cosmology. Interpretation as ancient literature The Book of Genesis is interpreted as a collection of various documents that were written by different people at different times and were collected, translated, and edited by several editors at different times centuries later. Each editor, working from what to them were ancient source documents, combined material, omitted other material, added glosses and made changes to parts they believed were errors. Interpretation as a literary text Such interpretation as a literary work is based on the following assumptions: 1. The Genesis text analyzed is the current traditional manuscript. 2. The text, for the purpose of literary analysis, is regarded as having been written by an "author" who is responsible for the final version of the text. The literary reading, therefore, relates to what is expressed in the current form of the text, assuming its unity. 3. The text is examined as a narrative free of prejudices about its assumed literary nature or religious orientation. God, therefore, is but a literary persona in it. 4. Analysis of the protagonists and their acts are carried out with no prejudices about an assumed cultural 'Sitz im Leben'. References Bibliography R.

2,643 | Sleeping preacher | A sleeping preacher, also called trance-preacher is a Christian, mostly Protestant person who preaches, prophesies or addresses a public audience while "sleeping," that is, in a state of trance. History The first reports of sporadic trance preachers, often children, are from the 16th and 17th century in Germany. Immediately after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685, a resistance movement broke out among the persecuted French Protestants of the Cevennes in Southern France. This movement, in which trance preaching was relatively widespread, is known as the "prophet movement", the "French Prophets" or eventually as the "Camisards". It spread to England in 1706 and to Germany and Switzerland in 1711 where its adherents took the name Wahre Insprierte, that is "True Inspirationalists". Amish "sleeping preacher" Noah Troyer lived three miles north of Kalona in Washington County, Iowa, which immediately adjoins Iowa County, where the Amana Colonies are situated, at the time the principal American establishment of the religious community of the Inspirationalists, also known as the "Community of True Inspiration", who had brought trance preaching to North America. An article of the Herald of Truth reported on 15 May 1882 that Noah Troyer had preached together with John D. Kauffman (1847-1913), who was also an Amish "sleeping preacher", both in an "unconscious state", Kauffman after Troyer, each for about two hours. Today The Kauffman Amish Mennonites, also called Sleeping Preacher Churches or Tampico Amish Mennonite Churches, are the only existing church that goes back to a sleeping preacher, namely John D. Kauffman (1847-1913). They are a Plain, car-driving branch of the Amish Mennonites. In 2017, the Kauffman Amish Mennonites had some 2,000 baptized members and lived mainly in Missouri and Arkansas. In contrast to other Amish Mennonites, they have largely retained the Pennsylvania German language and other traditions from the late 1800s.

2,645 | Castle Lake (Washington) | Castle Lake is a barrier lake formed by the May 18, 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens, when an avalanche dammed the South Fork of Castle Creek. The lake covers just slightly more than . In 1981 a spillway was constructed to alleviate concerns about sudden erosion. The lake is difficult to access, but trails have been built to it and recreational fishing is allowed. Description Castle Lake is a sub-alpine lake covering an area of just over , located northwest of Mount St. Helens. Castle Lake's outflow runs towards Coldwater Lake, another lake newly formed by the eruption. It is surrounded by precipitous ridges consisting of andesitic and dacitic volcanic bedrock. History When Mount St. Helens erupted on May 18, 1980, debris from an avalanche measuring 2.5 cubic kilometers blocked South Fork Castle Creek, creating a lake as runoff was impeded by the resulting debris wall which was in height. The blockage of Castle Creek measures long with a mean width of . The lake filled rapidly during the winter of 1980–1981, and was expected to overflow the blockage in the fall of 1982. However, a subsequent study predicted an earlier overflow, so in October 1981 a spillway long and wide was constructed to prevent the lake from flowing over the blockage, while at the same time the lake was cleared of the numerous downed trees that were blown into the lake by the eruption explosion. In 1991, rainbow trout appeared in the lake, apparently resulting from the migration of stock introduced to Coldwater Lake a few years earlier. The trout of Castle Lake are a self-perpetuating population, successfully spawning in the streams that feed Castle Lake. Recreation Construction started in 1989 on Gifford Pinchot National Forest trail number 221, called the Castle Lake Trail. The trail-head splits from Castle Ridge Trail #216 and runs for to Castle Lake. The hiking distance from Toutle, Washington is . Trout fishing is seasonally accessible and allowed. Ecological issues There has been significant concern that despite the spillway construction, the debris blockage that created Castle Lake could erode suddenly, and create a flood posing significant risks to the communities of Castle Rock, Kelso, Longview, and Toutle. In a study conducted by United States Army Corps of Engineers given to the United States Forest Service, the probability of such a breach was considered very low. However, the conditions which created the dam are unprecedented, and therefore little to no historical data exists to support any conclusion regarding stability. The blockage appears to be stable regarding overtopping erosion, but the susceptibility to earthquake or hydrologic events remains undetermined.

2,646 | Thomas Cawley | Fr. Thomas Cawley (11 October 1878 - 6 May 1949) was an Irish priest, writer and playwright. Born in Craughwell, County Galway, to Patrick Cawley and Julia Carr, he was ordained on 23 June 1907. In his student days he collected folklore, published in Iris Leabhar Manuat under the pen-name Killura (the old name of Craughwell). There is a strong belief in the Cawley family that he collected Raftery's poems and gave them to Douglas Hyde. He was involved in the Killeeneen Feis as secretary, and thus knew Lady Gregory, Edward Martyn, W.B. Yeats, and were jointly responsible for erecting a headstone over the grave of Raftery. The Cawley family of Craughwell possess an oil portrait of him. He was the granduncle of Rev. Martin Coen. Bibliography Máire Ní Eidhín a bilingual comedy, Dublin, M.H. Gill, 1905.

2,650 | RER C | The RER C is one of the five lines in the RER system serving :Paris, France. It is operated by SNCF. The line runs from the northwestern termini Pontoise (C1), Versailles-Château-Rive-Gauche (C5) and Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines (C7) to the southeastern termini Massy-Palaiseau (C2), Dourdan-la-Forêt (C4), Saint-Martin d'Étampes (C6) and Versailles – Chantiers (C8). The RER C line is the second-longest in the network, with over of route. RER C was created from an amalgamation and renovation of several old SNCF commuter lines unlike RER A and B which had newer sections owned and constructed by RATP. Each day, over 531 trains run on the RER C alone, and carries over 540,000 passengers daily, 150,000 passengers more than the entirety of the TGV network. It is the most popular RER line for tourists, who represent 15% of its passengers, as the line serves many monuments and museums, including the Palace of Versailles. However, the numerous stops, combined with the old and fragile infrastructure the line inherited, makes the Parisian section of the RER C very slow and inefficient. The numerous old curves and steep grades on RER C means trains sometimes need to slow down to to safely pass sections with tight alignments. In contrast, RER A was constructed with more modern standards enabling much higher average operating speeds. These problems are particularly evident on trips to and from the northern suburbs to the city center as taking Transilien lines and transferring to the Métro is much faster than taking the meandering RER C with closely spaced stops. In addition, the RER C's complicated operating schedule created by its complex network of numerous branches means the entire line is vulnerable to delays from even the smallest incidents. These issues have led to the line being called "Réseau Escargot Régional" (Regional Snail Network) by the local populace. History Line C was opened on 26 September 1979, following the construction of a new tunnel connecting the Gare d'Orsay railway terminus (now Musée d'Orsay) with the Invalides, terminus of the Rive Gauche line to Versailles, along the banks of the Seine. Services operated between Versailles-Château-Rive-Gauche – Invalides – Quai-d'Orsay, branching to Massy – Palaiseau, and Juvisy – Dourdan / Saint-Martin d'Étampes. At that point the line was named the Transversal Rive Gauche. In May 1980, service was extended to Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines – Versailles – Chantiers – Gare des Invalides. The RER C designation was then only introduced from this point onwards, replacing the Transversal Rive Gauche name. On 25 September 1988, the VMI ("Vallée de Montmorency – Invalides") branch to the north-west opened. This branch mostly used the infrastructure of the "ligne d'Auteuil" (incorporated into the "ligne de petite ceinture" from 1867, closed to passengers from 22 July 1934), and a new tunnel connection between Batignolles and St-Ouen, connecting to the RER C's main trunk at Champ de Mars-Tour Eiffel via a curved bridge (the only one in Paris) over the Seine river. That extended services to Montigny – Beauchamp and Argenteuil. Porte de Clichy opened on 29 September 1991. Located between Pereire – Levallois and St-Ouen. In 1992, |

2,655 | Saint Helen of Sinope | The Virgin-Martyr of Christ, Saint Helen, was the daughter of the Bekiary family and lived in the eighteenth century in Sinope, the oldest city of Pontus in modern-day Turkey. She is commemorated in the Eastern Orthodox calendar each year on November 1. Life According to the Orthodox Resources website, Helen was a Greek Christian fifteen-year old living with her family in the Christian enclave at Sinope in Pontus during the 1700s. After seeing Helen on the street, Ukuzoglu Pasha, the Turkish governor of Sinope ordered her to be kidnapped and brought to his residence. Ukuzoglu then attempted to rape her on two separate occasions, but was stopped each time by what was described as a mysterious power like an invisible wall. Helen later escaped and returned home. Ukuzoglu then threatened the Christian community with death unless Helen returned to him. The Christian leaders persuaded Helen’s father to return her to the Ukuzoglu, who unsuccessfully tried to rape her several more time. Throughout this ordeal, Helen recited the Six Psalms and other prayers. Ukuzoglu finally sent Helen to prison, where she was tortured. She finally died from two nails driven into skull and by beheading. Death After her death, the jailers put Helen's body in a sack and threw it into the Black Sea. However, the sack floated away with what the Turks described as a heavenly light shining on it. According to Orthodox Resources, a light coming from the bottom of the sea alerted a crew of Greek sailors to Helen's resting place. Expecting to find gold, the sailors dove down to the source of the light and found the sack. After they retrieved her remains, a divine revelation showed them to be a source of healing. Helen's body was sent to Russia, but her head was returned to Sinope, where it was venerated in the Church of the Panagia. This relic was said to be a source of miracles, especially for those suffering from headaches. The local priest would bring the relic to the sufferer, chant a canon of supplication, and sprinkle the person with holy water. When the Turkish army drove the ethnic Greek population from Sinope in 1924, the refugees brought the relic with them to Greece. It is venerated today in the Church of St. Marina in the Ano Toumbas quarter of Thessalonika.

2,657 | Christopher Poole | Christopher Poole (born c. 1988), known online as moot, is an American Internet entrepreneur. He is best known for founding the anonymous English-language imageboard 4chan in October 2003, as well as serving as the site's head administrator for more than 11 years before stepping down in January 2015. In 2016, he began working for Google. Career 4chan In April 2009, Poole was voted the world's most influential person of 2008 by an open Internet poll conducted by Time magazine. The results were questioned even before the poll completed, however, as automated voting programs and manual ballot stuffing were used to influence the vote. 4chan's interference with the vote seemed increasingly likely, when it was found that reading the first letter of the first 21 candidates in the poll spelled out a phrase containing two 4chan memes: "mARBLECAKE. ALSO, THE GAME." On September 12, 2009, Poole gave a talk on why 4chan has a reputation as a "Meme Factory" at the Paraflows Symposium in Vienna, Austria, which was part of the Paraflows 09 festival, themed Urban Hacking. In this talk, Poole mainly attributed this to the anonymous system, and to the lack of data retention on the site ("The site has no memory"). His talk was published in the academic reader Mind and Matter: Comparative Approaches towards Complexity (edited by Günther Friesinger, Johannes Grenzfurthner, Thomas Ballhausen). On February 10, 2010, Poole spoke at the TED2010 conference in Long Beach, California. He spoke about the increasing prevalence of persistent user identities and the sharing of personal information on sites such as Facebook and Twitter and he also spoke about the value of anonymous posting on sites such as 4chan. Fred Leal of the Brazilian newspaper O Estado de S. Paulo said his inclusion in the conference "indicates that something extraordinary is happening... [4chan] challenges every Internet convention: it is, alone, the antithesis of Google, social networking sites, and blogs." In a 2010 interview, Poole discussed his belief in the value of multiple identities, including anonymity, in contrast to the merger of online and real-world identities occurring on Facebook and many other social networking sites. Canvas In 2010, Poole was reported to have raised $625,000 to create a new online enterprise, Canvas. The web site opened on January 31, 2011, and features digitally modified images uploaded by users who are required to self-identify using Facebook Connect. The enterprise ran until January 2014 when Poole announced that Canvas, and its DrawQuest feature, would be going out of business. Post 4chan In January 2015, Poole announced that he would be stepping down as the 4chan administrator. On January 23, moot hosted a final Q&A with site users using the /qa/ board and YouTube to livestream. This marked the beginning of his "retirement" from being an administrator and owner of the web site after eleven-and-a-half years. He began a process of turning control of the site over to three anonymous 4chan moderators while searching for a buyer for the website. On September 21, 2015, it was announced that Hiroyuki Nishimura, founder of the Japanese BBS 2channel, would take |
2,658 | 1967 Major League Baseball season | The 1967 Major League Baseball season was contested from April 10 to October 12, 1967. The St. Louis Cardinals defeated the Boston Red Sox four games to three in the World Series, which was the first World Series appearance for the Red Sox in 21 years. Following the season, the Kansas City Athletics relocated to Oakland. The season was filled with historic seasons from multiple players. Carl Yastrzemski of the Boston Red Sox had tied for the most home runs in the MLB with Harmon Killebrew, giving him the elusive triple crown. He led the American League in batting average (.326), home runs due to the tie with Killebrew (44) and runs batted in (121). This feat would not be accomplished again until Miguel Cabrera earned the triple crown in 2012 with the Detroit Tigers. Yastrzemski also won the AL MVP and led the Red Sox to the AL pennant for the first time in nearly two decades. They would ultimately lose to the St. Louis Cardinals 7-2 in Game 7 of the World Series. The Cardinals had standout players as well, with first baseman Orlando Cepeda becoming the first unanimously voted NL MVP. Cepeda finished the season with 25 home runs, 111 rbis and a .325 batting average. He did however, struggle in the World Series, hitting only .103 with one rbi.

2,661 | Jean-Jacques Desvaux de Saint-Maurice | Jean-Jacques Desvaux de Saint-Maurice, baron, (26 June 1775 in Paris – 18 June 1815 near Waterloo), was a French general of the Napoleonic Wars. Born in an aristocratic family of the Ancien Régime, Desvaux was admitted at the Artillery School of Châlons in 1792, before joining the Army of the Alps, with which he would take part to the siege of Lyon. He then served under the command of general Jacques François Dugommier in the Army of the Oriental-Pyrenees, before being named aide-de-camp to general Saint-Rémy in January 1796 and sent to Italy. He would take part to several military engagements between 1798–1799, most noteworthy at Novi and Mincio. He becomes aide-de-camp to general Auguste de Marmont and is promoted to the rank of colonel in 1803, taking part to the siege of Ulm, where he was wounded, before being captured by the enemy at the battle of Judenburg. Set free after the Treaty of Pressburg at the end of 1805, he spent the next year serving as commander of the French artillery in Dalmatia and then Friuli. In 1809, he took part to the War of the Fifth Coalition and was promoted to brigadier general; after the end of the campaign in Austria, he was given the command of the prestigious horse artillery of the Imperial Guard. A baron of the Empire from 1810, Desvaux held his command in the Guard and was a part of the Grande Armée during the Russian Campaign and then War of the Sixth Coalition. He was promoted to general of division in November 1813 and in 1814, during the Campaign of France, he was given the command of the artillery of the Army of Lyon, under Marshal Pierre Augereau. During the Hundred Days, Desvaux joined Napoleon and was given command of the entire Guard artillery. He was killed in action at the battle of Waterloo. His name is inscribed under the Arc de Triomphe, Northern Pillar.

2,666 | Sanders County, Montana | Sanders County is a county in the U.S. state of Montana. As of the 2010 United States Census, the population was 11,413. Its county seat is Thompson Falls. The county was founded in 1905. It has an annual county fair with rodeo at Plains. Geography According to the US Census Bureau, the county has a total area of , of which is land and (1.1%) is water. Sanders County lies on the state's western border; thus it shares the border with Idaho to the west. It is part of the Coeur d'Alene Mountains in the Bitterroot Range. The Clark Fork River flows southeast to northwest through the middle of the county, with the Bitterroot Mountains to the south and the Cabinet Mountains to the north. It is partially arid, with the west-facing mountain slopes capturing the most rain: ranging from nearly 40 inches a year in Heron (similar to Seattle's annual precipitation) on the Western end of the county to less than 12 inches per year in Dixon on the East end. During the last ice age, this was the area that dammed the glacial Lake Missoula. When the ice dam broke, the resulting floods created the Scablands in eastern Washington. Adjacent counties Lincoln County – north Flathead County – northeast Lake County – east Missoula County – southeast Mineral County – south Shoshone County, Idaho – west/Pacific Time Border Bonner County, Idaho – northwest/Pacific Time Border National protected areas Kaniksu National Forest (part) Kootenai National Forest (part) Lolo National Forest (part) National Bison Range (part) Fauna A variety of birds and other wildlife are found in Sanders County. The Tufted duck has been observed along the Bull River. An amphibian, the Rough-skinned Newt, has a disjunctive population at Thompson Falls which is un-contiguous with the remainder of the Western United States population of this species. Sanders County is a "destination hunting locale" with trophy specimens of White-tailed Deer (Odocoileus virginianus), Mule Deer (Odocoileus hemionus), Rocky Mountain Elk (Cervus canadensis nelsoni), Shiras Moose (Alces alces Shirasi), Mountain Goat(Oreamnos americanus), and Bighorn Sheep (Ovis canadensis Canadensis) rounding out huntable ungulate species and Black Bear, Cougar and Wolves comprising the huntable carnivores. Rocky Mountain Bighorns are regularly hunted in the county. Grizzly bear, the Montana state animal, are also found in the county, but as an endangered species, hunting them is prohibited. Montana had the last huntable population of Grizzlies in the lower 48, allowing 10 bears a year (natural deaths, poaching and other causes of death were included in that total to decide when season closed) as late as the 1990s. Only Alaska allows hunting for Grizzlies at present. Western Meadowlark, the state bird are found sparsely in the meadow areas of Sanders County along with Redwing Blackbird and Rocky Mountain Bluebirds. The westslope cutthroat trout (Onchorynchus clarki lewisi) is native to the drainages of Sanders County. The threatened native bull trout relies on westslopes as a major prey species in its piscivorous diet. Catch and release fishing is required to maintain fishable populations of the two natives, which now compete with introduced |
2,667 | Microsatellite instability | Microsatellite instability (MSI) is the condition of genetic hypermutability (predisposition to mutation) that results from impaired DNA mismatch repair (MMR). The presence of MSI represents phenotypic evidence that MMR is not functioning normally. MMR corrects errors that spontaneously occur during DNA replication, such as single base mismatches or short insertions and deletions. The proteins involved in MMR correct polymerase errors by forming a complex that binds to the mismatched section of DNA, excises the error, and inserts the correct sequence in its place. Cells with abnormally functioning MMR are unable to correct errors that occur during DNA replication and consequently accumulate errors. This causes the creation of novel microsatellite fragments. Polymerase chain reaction-based assays can reveal these novel microsatellites and provide evidence for the presence of MSI. Microsatellites are repeated sequences of DNA. These sequences can be made of repeating units of one to six base pairs in length. Although the length of these microsatellites is highly variable from person to person and contributes to the individual DNA "fingerprint", each individual has microsatellites of a set length. The most common microsatellite in humans is a dinucleotide repeat of the nucleotides C and A, which occurs tens of thousands of times across the genome. Microsatellites are also known as simple sequence repeats (SSRs). Structure Microsatellite instability structure consists of repeated nucleotides, most often seen as GT/CA repeats. Researchers have yet to confirm the precise definition of the MSI structure. While all researchers agree that microsatellites are repeat sequences, the lengths of the sequences remain in question. Some research suggest that MSIs are short tandem DNA repeat sequences of one to six base pairs throughout the genome, while other research suggests that the range may be two to five. Although researchers do not agree on a specific threshold for the number of tandem repeats that constitute a microsatellite, there is a consensus around their relative size. Longer sequences are called minisatellite, and even longer sequences are called satellite DNA sites. Some scientists distinguish among the three categories by a minimum number of base pairs, and others use a minimum number of repeated units. The majority of repeats occur in untranslated regions, specifically introns. However, microsatellites that occur in coding regions often inhibit the expansion of most downstream events. Microsatellites make up approximately three percent of the human genome, or more than one million fragments of DNA. Microsatellite density increases with genome size and is seen twice as much at the ends of chromosome arms than in the chromosome bodies. Form and function MSI was discovered in the 1970s and 1980s. The first human disease attributed to MSI was xeroderma pigmentosum. This disease resulted from two alleles activating mutations on nucleotide excision repair. In a broad sense, MSI results from the inability of the mismatch repair (MMR) proteins to fix a DNA replication error. DNA replication occurs in the "S" phase of the cell cycle; the faulty event creating an MSI region occurs during the second replication event. The original strand is unharmed, but the daughter strand experiences a frame-shift mutation due to DNA polymerase |

2,669 | Raoul of Goldenlake | Raoul of Goldenlake is a fictional character in many of author Tamora Pierce's writings. He first appears in her Song of the Lioness quartet and is also a major character in the Protector of the Small series. Role in Song of the Lioness Raoul is first introduced as a page in Pierce's Tortall universe as one of Jonathan of Conté's group of friends. He soon becomes close friends with Alan of Trebond, who is later revealed to be Alanna of Trebond. In the period in which Alan was being bullied by Ralon of Malven, Raoul would almost always retaliate and defend his small friend. Role in Protector of the Small In the Protector of the Small series he is reintroduced as Raoul of Goldenlake and Malorie's Peak, a famous figure in Tortall and Knight Commander of the King's Own. Described as mild-tempered and kind, he is nonetheless a formidable opponent in combat. His nickname, "Giantkiller," comes from his having killed one giant single-handedly before the beginning of the series and another in the 3rd installment, Squire. It is also in Squire that he becomes the female protagonist Keladry of Mindelan's knight master. While conservatives of the realm disapprove of women in combat and often raise rumors of ulterior motives for his selection of squire, Raoul is described as a mentor and father figure to Kel. He encourages her to bring out her full potential in both arms and command and is one of her biggest supporters. This support is shown in Lady Knight when he sends a squad of soldiers to support her in crossing enemy territory to illegally retrieve captured refugees Kel had been assigned to protect. He is also one of the group awaiting her when she returns to Tortallan territory. Raoul later marries Buriram Tourakom, commander of the Queen's Riders.

2,671 | Embassy of Israel, Berlin | The Israeli Embassy in Berlin is the headquarters of the diplomatic mission of Israel in Germany. It is located in the Berlin district of Schmargendorf at Auguste-Viktoria-Straße 74. , the Israeli ambassador to Germany is Yakov Hadas-Handelsman. History There have been diplomatic relations between the state of Israel and West Germany since 1965. The first embassy, opened on August 24, 1965, was located in Cologne's Ehrenfeld district. The following year, the embassy was moved to the Bad Godesberg district of Bonn. With the relocation of the German seat of government, the Israeli embassy was moved in August 1999 from Bonn to Berlin, where there was until then only an Israeli Consulate-General at Schinkelstraße 10 in the Grunewald district of Berlin. The current embassy building was built in the period 1999-2001.

2,676 | Alexa Chung | Alexa Chung (born 5 November 1983) is a British writer, television presenter, model, and fashion designer. She has authored the books It (2013) and it: Über Style (2014), and launched her eponymous fashion brand in May 2017. Early life Chung was born in Privett, Hampshire, the daughter of Gillian and Phillip Chung. Her father is of mixed Chinese and English descent, while her mother is of English descent. According to her interviews, growing up she had a pony and took dancing classes. Chung attended secondary state school at the local Perins School and spent sixth form at Peter Symonds College, Winchester. She was accepted at King's College London to study English and Chelsea College of Arts to study art, but at the age of 16 was scouted by a modelling agency before attending. Fashion Modelling Chung was scouted after being seen in the comedy tent at the Reading Festival at the age of 16. She modelled for teen magazines, such as Elle Girl and CosmoGIRL!, and worked for companies including Fanta, Sony Ericsson, Sunsilk, Urban Outfitters, and Tampax. She appeared in music videos for artists including the Streets, Westlife, Delta Goodrem, Reuben and Holly Valance and starred as Jake in a scripted reality show called Shoot Me, broadcast on Fashion TV in 2005. After four years, Chung quit modelling with the intention of beginning an art foundation or fashion journalism course, having become disillusioned. She had developed a "distorted body image" and "low self-esteem" through modelling. After she became a TV personality, Chung made a return to occasional modelling. In 2008, she was the face of Australian fashion label Antipodium's SS 2008 collection and Oxfam's ethical fashion range, Revamped. In September 2008, Chung walked the catwalk as part of the Vivienne Westwood Red Label Spring/Summer 2009 show at London Fashion Week. In early 2009, she became the face of British High Street giant New Look. Chung then joined London-based modelling agency Select Model Management and, in April 2009, she modeled Wren's Holiday 2009 collection, alongside her friend Tennessee Thomas. In July 2009, Chung moved to NEXT Model Management and became the face of DKNY Jeans. Chung was the face of South Korean brand MOGG's Spring/Summer 2010 campaign. In January 2010, she became the main model of the Spring/Summer 2010 Pepe Jeans London campaign and reprised her role for the Fall/Winter 2010 campaign. She was announced as the first celebrity face of Lacoste in June 2010, appearing in both the TV and print advertising campaigns for their "Joy of Pink" fragrance. In January 2011, Chung was announced as the face of Italian sneaker brand Superga, in a campaign to mark their 100th anniversary. In February 2012, she took part in the London Fashion Week show for designer Stella McCartney, where she acted as a guest assistant to magician Hans Klok in a number of illusions including being levitated and sawed in half. Chung worked with Tommy Hilfiger as a guest editor for their Fall 2014 collection, and modeled their clothes. Chung became the face of Longchamp in 2013 and, by 2015, she had |

2,679 | North Laurel, Maryland | North Laurel is a census-designated place (CDP) in Howard County, Maryland, United States. The published population was 4,474 at the 2010 census. This population was substantially less than the CDP's population in 2000, and was the result of an error in defining the boundary prior to tabulation and publication of 2010 Census results. The corrected 2010 Census population is 20,259. North Laurel is adjacent to the City of Laurel, which is located across the Patuxent River in Prince George's County. Geography North Laurel is located in the southern corner of Howard County at (39.134343, −76.862690). It is bordered to the north by Savage and Columbia, to the west by Scaggsville, to the south in Prince George's County by the city of Laurel, and to the southeast in Anne Arundel County by Maryland City. The southern boundary of the CDP is defined by the Patuxent River, which is also the Howard County/Prince George's County line. According to the United States Census Bureau, the North Laurel CDP has a total area of , of which is land and , or 0.6%, is water. (these area measurements differ from those initially published by the Census Bureau; see the Census Bureau's 2010 Census errata at https://www.census.gov/geo/reference/pdfs/Geography_Notes.pdf). Demographics The North Laurel CDP as defined for the 2010 census was smaller than the CDP that was defined for the 2000 census. In 2010, portions of the earlier North Laurel CDP were split off into the Scaggsville and Fulton CDPs. Demographic figures from the 2000 census are therefore significantly different from the published figures from 2010. The substantially lower population, however, was the result of an error in defining the CDP boundary prior to tabulation and publication of 2010 Census results. The Census Bureau noted the error in its published errata (see https://www.census.gov/geo/reference/pdfs/Geography_Notes.pdf). The corrected counts for North Laurel CDP for 2010 are 20,259 population, 7,593 housing units, and land area of 6.3 square miles. The corrected boundary and population are reflected in subsequent data from the American Community Survey. North Laurel gained territory formerly within the Savage-Guilford CDP for Census 2000, located south of the Little Patuxent and Middle Patuxent Rivers and east of Interstate 95. This territory was the portion defined as North Laurel in official 2010 Census data products. As of the census of 2000, there were 20,468 people, 7,235 households, and 5,281 families residing in the CDP. The population density was 2,007.3 people per square mile (774.8/km²). There were 7,453 housing units at an average density of 730.9/sq mi (282.1/km²). The racial makeup of the CDP was 33.5% African American,White, 32.4%, 0.32% Native American, 17.1%% Asian, 0.08% Pacific Islander, 1.49% from other races, and 2.62% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 11.5% of the population. There were 7,235 households out of which 43.3% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 57.7% were married couples living together, 10.9% had a female householder with no husband present, and 27.0% were non-families. 19.2% of all households were made up of individuals and 2.6% had someone living alone who was |
2,680 | Georgy Kechaari | Georgy Avetisovich Kechaari ( ; ; ; 1930-2006) was an Udi writer, educator, public figure and scientist. He was born in the settlement of Nic, in the Qəbələ Rayon of the Azerbaijan. In 1952, he went to Baku to pursue Oriental studies at the Baku State University. After finishing his studies, he returned to his native village and worked as a school teacher. Throughout his life, along with teaching, he regularly was engaged in creative outlets. Kechaari developed a primer and a program to teach the Udi language to school children. He published a number of original works and translated works into Udi. He authored many other articles and books devoted to the Udi people. Among them are Nana Oččal (lit. "native earth"), a collection of writings in Udi by various authors on the Udi language, Orayin ("Spring") a collection of Udi folklore (a fairy tale, a legend, a proverb, and jokes) as well as the author's own writings in Udi, Buruxmux ("Mountains"), the author's writings and translation of more than 150 representatives of Azerbaijani literary works, Ocaq başında rəqs ("Dance at a fire"), a collection of Udi folklore in the Azerbaijani language, Udinlərdə ənənəvi toy mərasimləri ("Traditional Udi wedding ceremonies") also in Azerbaijani, and Shudok (, "Lace"), a collection of short funny stories (national creativity) in Russian.

2,681 | Geoffroy's horseshoe bat | Geoffroy's horseshoe bat (Rhinolophus clivosus) is a species of bat in the family Rhinolophidae found in Africa. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest, Mediterranean-type shrubby vegetation, caves, subterranean habitats (other than caves), and hot deserts. Taxonomy Geoffroy's horseshoe bat was described as a new species in 1828 by German scientist Philipp Jakob Cretzschmar. The holotype was collected in Mohila, Saudi Arabia. In 2012, Rhinolophus clivosus was split into an additional species with the recognition of Rhinolophus horaceki. Further division may occur, as the same 2012 studynoted five distinct genetic lineages within R. clivosus. Description It is considered medium-sized for an African horseshoe bat, with forearm lengths of and weights of . Biology and ecology It has one breeding season each year. Gestation length is around 3.5 months, after which one offspring is born. Differing levels of sociality have been observed. In Algeria, individuals roost alone or in small groups less than 50 individuals. In southern Africa and Malawi, however, groups of up to 10,000 individuals have been documented roosting together in a colony. Roosts are typically mixed sex, as females do not form maternity colonies to raise young. Range Geoffroy's horseshoe bat occurs widely throughout Africa, with its range extending into the Arabian Peninsula. It is found in a variety of habitats, including desert, savanna woodland, Mediterranean shrubland, and grassland.

2,682 | Pseudoeurycea rex | Pseudoeurycea rex, which has been given the common name royal false brook salamander, is a species of salamander in the family Plethodontidae. It is found in western Guatemala; on Volcán Tacaná, its range extends to the Mexican side of the Guatemalan–Mexican border. Description Males can reach and females in total length; the tail makes up just above one half of the total length. The head is bluntly oval. The tail is circular in cross section and constricted at the base. The limbs are well-developed. Both the fingers and the toes have basal webbing. The body is pinkish gray above, shading into gray in sides of body and tail. The tail has some white marbling and is light gray beneath. The throat has white marbling, and the upper surface of the snout has some light marbling too. Habitat and conservation Pseudoeurycea rex occurs in coniferous forests of the temperate forest zone, par-like forest, and above tree line in open bunchgrass communities; its altitudinal range is above sea level, although it mostly occurs above . It can survive in degraded forest. Development is direct, without free-living larval stage. The types were collected from under logs. Pseudoeurycea rex used to be the most abundant Guatemalan salamander that could reach very high densities, but it has declined dramatically and is now extremely rare. The reasons for this dramatic decline are unknown. It is threatened by habitat loss caused by overgrazing by livestock, clear-cutting of forest, and human settlement. Its range overlaps with several protected areas.

2,683 | Mystic Marathon | Mystic Marathon is a horizontally-scrolling arcade game released by Williams Electronics in 1984. The game presents a footrace between horned, shoe-wearing, fantasy creatures on a course covering small islands and the water between them. It was programmed by Kristina Donofrio (lead) and Ken Graham. Donofrio later worked on Joust 2: Survival of the Fittest. The game was only available as a conversion kit for Williams games with horizontal monitors. There were three separate kits: one for Defender; one for Joust, Robotron: 2084, and Stargate; and one for Bubbles. Mystic Marathon was released in the year following the North American video game crash of 1983 alongside Turkey Shoot and Inferno, none of which were as successful as earlier titles from Williams or ported to contemporary home systems. Gameplay The game is a left-to-right footrace between the player-controlled creature and six controlled by the computer. The goal is to finish in the top three to progress to the next race. A map at the top of the screen shows the entire course and position of the contestants. Each island contains multiple paths, and the creatures have to swim the water between the islands, which is slower than running. Many obstacles slow the creatures down, including apple-throwing trees, lightning, sea monsters, giant clams, and sinkholes. There are also ways to move forward quickly, such as a hand that throws a character and caves that warp the creature to the exit. In addition to a joystick for movement, there is a jump button. Emulation When emulated via MAME, the colors are displayed incorrectly. The sky and water are shades of blue in the actual game, but magenta and violet under MAME, and the rocks are pink instead of gray. Most of the screenshots and video of Mystic Marathon on the web were taken from MAME with incorrect colors. References External links . This version also has incorrect colors.

2,687 | Helsingborg BBK | Helsingborg Basketbollklubb is a basketball club based in Helsingborg, Sweden. The association is a continuation of Helsingborgs Basket, which went bankrupt in 2009. Both the club's men's and women's teams play during the 2010/2011 season in the Basketball in each one series system. History The current association was established on 12 May 2009. Its predecessor, Helsingborgs Basket, formed in 1978 as a merger between IFK Helsingborg basketball section, started in 1956, and BK Panthers, who broke away from IFK in the early 1970s. IFK Helsingborg won 1969 his first and so far only one Championship title. Besides this took the club also has five cup titles, including the last time the Cup was held in 1978. In 1986 fell Helsingborgs Basketball from the top division and 1992 dropped the club into the Division 2. The club returned to basketball's top Swedish series, Swedish basketball league, in 2003 . in 2006 and 2008 the club played under the name Öresundskraft Basketball. On April 9, 2009 withdrew the club from the Swedish basketball league for the 2009/2010 season, when they could not find a new sponsor. The economic situation finally became too difficult and then Helsingborg not want to endorse a new loan sent association May 11, 2009 for bankruptcy. The day after Helsingborgs Baskets bankruptcy was a meeting where it was decided that a new compound would be started under the name of Helsingborg Basketball Club (HBBK). The new club's men's and women's teams were forced to because of the bankruptcy to qualify for division 2 for the season 2009/2010. Both went through from their qualifier and both advanced to Basket One for the 2010/2011 season.

2,690 | Heartbreak Hotel | "Heartbreak Hotel" is a song recorded by American singer Elvis Presley. It was released as a single on January 27, 1956, Presley's first on his new record label RCA Victor. It was written by Tommy Durden and Mae Boren Axton, with credit being given also to Presley. A newspaper article about the suicide of a lonely man who jumped from a hotel window inspired the lyrics. Axton presented the song to Presley in November 1955 at a country music convention in Nashville. Presley agreed to record it, and did so on January 10, 1956, in a session with his band, The Blue Moon Boys, the guitarist Chet Atkins, and the pianist Floyd Cramer. "Heartbreak Hotel" comprises an eight-bar blues progression, with heavy reverberation throughout the track, to imitate the character of Presley's Sun recordings. The single topped Billboards Top 100 chart for seven weeks, Cashboxs pop singles chart for six weeks, was No. 1 on the Country and Western chart for seventeen weeks and reached No. 3 on the R&B chart, becoming Presley's first million-seller, and one of the best-selling singles of 1956. "Heartbreak Hotel" achieved unheard feats as it reached the top 5 of Country and Western, pop, and Rhythm 'n' Blues charts simultaneously. It would eventually be certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. Presley had first performed "Heartbreak Hotel" during a live show in December 1955 during a tour of the Louisiana Hayride, but the song gained strong popularity after his appearance on Stage Show in March 1956. It became a staple of Presley's repertoire in live appearances, last performed by him on May 29, 1977, at the Civic Center in Baltimore, Maryland. In 1995 "Heartbreak Hotel" was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame, and in 2004 Rolling Stone magazine named it one of the "500 Greatest Songs of All Time". That year it was also included in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's "500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll". A rock and roll standard, since its original release "Heartbreak Hotel" has been covered by several rock and pop acts, including Willie Nelson and Leon Russell, who recorded a duet version that topped the Country charts in 1979. RCA reissued "Heartbreak Hotel" on CD in 2006 on its 50th anniversary featuring the 1956 black and white EP cover. Background and writing The song was written in 1955, by Mae Boren Axton, a high school teacher with a background in musical promotion, and Jacksonville based singer–songwriter Tommy Durden. The lyrics were based on a report supposedly in The Miami Herald about a man who had destroyed all his identity papers and jumped to his death from a hotel window, leaving a suicide note with the single line, "I walk a lonely street". In 2016, an article in Rolling Stone magazine suggested that the story in reality originated from a report about a painter and petty criminal, Alvin Krolik, whose marriage had failed and who wrote a partial autobiography including the line "This is the story of a person who walked a lonely street."

2,693 | Silkstone Waggonway | The Silkstone Waggonway was a narrow-gauge industrial wagonway serving the Barnsley Canal, in England, at Silkstone in South Yorkshire. History The Barnsley Canal The Barnsley Canal was built in the 1790s to carry coal from the mines near Barnsley to the Aire and Calder Navigation near Wakefield. In 1808, the canal company's Annual General Meeting approved a plan to build a waggonway, and they applied to Parliament for an Act authorising the construction of a horse-drawn railway from Silkstone Cross to the canal's southern terminus at Barnby Basin. The Act was granted. Construction The canal company purchased the trackbed of the earlier Low Moor Waggonway. Construction of the new waggonway proceeded quickly and it opened in 1809. The success of the waggonway as a feeder to the canal prompted the construction of furnaces at Low Mill, and the opening of the Waterloo Colliery. In 1812, the Norcroft Colliery was connected to the waggonway. Extension In the 1830s, an extension of the waggonway to Silkstone Common was built. This used an incline powered by a steam engine and a self-acting incline to connected to Huskar Pit. Closure In June 1847, the canal company entered into an agreement to sell the waggonway to the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway. However, this transaction was never completed. Coal traffic along the waggonway peaked in 1851 at 33,621 tons. That year, however, was the first full year of operation of the Silkstone Coal Branch Railway, which quickly took traffic away from the waggonway. By 1856, only 22,726 tons of coal was carried. By 1864, ownership of the waggonway had transferred to the Aire and Calder Navigation and in 1866 the waggonway carried just 3,246 tons of coal and in 1870, no coal was carried at all. In August 1872, it was reported that "the rails have been pulled up and sold". Route The waggonway ran from Silkstone Cross to Barnby Basin. The lower section, between the Basin and Barnby Furnace, followed the route of the Low Moor Wagonway. From there it passed by Norcroft Bridge, at the north end of Silkstone. It was built with stone block sleepers, probably supplied from local quarries owned by Walter Spencer Stanhope. Cast iron, L-shaped rails were laid on the sleepers. Rough stones were packed around the sleepers to hold them in place, with a layer of ash covering them to make a suitable surface for the horses to walk on. Where the waggonway crossed public roads, unusual U-shaped rails were used.

2,694 | Return to Peyton Place | Return to Peyton Place is a 1959 novel by Grace Metalious, a sequel to her best-selling 1956 novel Peyton Place. Plot summary After the phenomenal success of her first novel, Metalious hastily penned a sequel centering on the life and loves of bestselling author Allison MacKenzie, who follows in the footsteps of her mother by having an affair with a married man, her publisher Lewis Jackman. The similarity of their situations bond Allison and her mother. When she returns to her hometown following the publication of her first novel, Samuel's Castle, she is forced to face the wrath of most of its residents, who are incensed by their barely disguised counterparts and the revelation of town secrets in the book. Despite that, certain members of the community stood by the MacKenzies, most notably, Seth Buswell, the newspaper editor; and his oldest friend, Dr. Matthew Swain. In fact, whenever anyone came into Dr. Swain's office and complained about Allison's book, he would roar them down and after a harsh tongue-lashing from him about some of the things that person had done, he or she wouldn't ever complain about Allison's novel after that. However, Roberta Carter, a member of the school board (working in concert with the town attorney's wife Marion Partridge), makes it her mission to ban the book from the high school library. She punishes Allison by firing her stepfather, Michael Rossi (a decision which she eventually reverses, to the anger of Marion); while at the same time trying to dissolve her son Ted's marriage to his snobbish bride, a Boston blue-blood named Jennifer Burbank. Another union in trouble is that of Allison's mother Constance, who is shocked by her daughter's exposé, but nonetheless stands by her, and stepfather Michael Rossi, the school principal and one of the novel's defenders. Betty Anderson returns from New York, after giving birth to Roddy, the child she had by Rodney Harrington and, along with her cohort and Roddy's babysitter, Agnes Carlisle, moves to Peyton Place, so she can allow Leslie, Roddy's grandfather to know him. Selena Cross, who had been acquitted of murder in the previous novel, was trying to make a life for herself and her brother, Joey. She is manager of the Thrifty Corner Apparel Shoppe, and is a success. In this book, Selena and Allison had rebonded as friends, and Allison's New York roommate, Stephanie Wallace, was also part of their circle. Reception Return to Peyton Place received harsh reviews; Edmund Fuller in the New York Times wrote, "This sequel to 'Peyton Place' has no interest as a novel... [I]t is foolish writing, cynical publishing and bad reading." Time magazine said, "[T]he sequel bears all the marks of a book whacked together on a long weekend... Return has little more scene-setting than a limerick, and the characterization is negligible." Sales of the sequel did not approach those of the original book: While Peyton Place remained on the New York Times best seller list for 76 weeks, Return to Peyton Place spent just three (non-consecutive) weeks on the list, peaking at #13.

2,699 | 2009–10 I-League | This season marks the addition of four new teams, with Lajong SSC, Pune FC, Salgaocar Sports Club and Viva Kerala are confirmed to participate in the I-League. With the inception of these four clubs, many club transfers have been undergone within India, and around the world. The length of the regular season will be longer than in previous years, with 26 rounds rather than 22. The season kicked off on October 1, 2009 with Mahindra United hosting defending champions Churchill Brothers in Mumbai. Rule changes India became the latest member association to adopt AFC's 3+1 rule which will allow clubs to recruit one player of Asian origin in addition to their regular quota of three foreigners. The All India Football Federation (AIFF) executive committee decided to embrace the new AFC rule which encourages the mobility of talented Asian players and provides a fillip to the regional game. AFC Campaign Two of the I-League teams are playing in 2010 AFC Cup. This has caused some delays in scheduling. East Bengal lost all its round robin matches and is out of the tourney, but Churchill Brothers are at Knockout stage.
