7,601 | Trail Mountain Fire | The Trail Mountain Fire was a wildfire burning in Manti-La Sal National Forest fifteen miles northwest of Orangeville, Utah in the United States. The fire was started on June 6, 2018, after the Trail Mountain Prescribed Fire escaped due to high winds. As of June 27, the fire burnt and was 80 percent contained. Incidents The Trail Mountain Fire began when the Trail Mountain Prescribed Burn escaped across Cottonwood Canyon Road to East Mountain on June 6, 2018, burning . By June 10, high wind gusts of 55 miles per hour caused the fire to grow into Meetinghouse Canyon. The heavy winds caused all air support fighting the fire to be grounded. One cabin in the Whetstone Creek area was burned. A temporary flight restriction was put in place for the area. Indian Creek Campground was closed. By June 12, heavy smoked had permeated the area. The fire had expanded north into Deer Creek Canyon, Rilda Canyon and the plateaus above Mill Fork Canyon, which all feed into Huntington Canyon. The next day, Highway 31 was closed and areas of Huntington Canyon were closed and select campgrounds were evacuated. On June 14, the highway and Huntington Canyon reopened. However, the next day, June 15, Highway 31 was closed once again due to fire activity and heavy use of the highway by fire crews. By the end of the day, the fire had grown to and was ten percent contained. Officials re-opened Highway 31 through Huntington Canyon on June 16. The fire had minimal activity due to high humidity and cloud cover. The northern part of the fire remained uncontained while crews focused on scattering cut vegetation, stabilizing soils, installing water bars to manage water and sediment, and removing hazardous, fire-weakened trees along roads in contained areas. By June 22, Red Flag Warnings impacted the fire, pushing it into Crandall Canyon and keeping it active in Little Bear Canyon. The fire did not impact the Crandall Canyon Mine and memorial. As of June 27, the fire has burned and is 80 percent contained. It is fueled by mixed conifer and dead and down timber. Closures Information may be outdated as of February 20, 2019. Indian Creek Campground is closed. Temporary closure of Forest Road 0040 (Cottonwood Canyon) has been implemented, as well as the closure of Forest Roads 0034, 2302, 2181, 2180, and 2182. Forest Trail 0051, the Trail Mountain CCC Trail, is also temporarily closed.

7,602 | Two Trees of Valinor | In J. R. R. Tolkien's legendarium, the Two Trees of Valinor are Telperion and Laurelin, the Silver Tree and the Gold Tree that brought light to Valinor, a paradisiacal realm also known as the Undying Lands where angelic beings lived. The Two Trees were apparently of enormous stature, and exuded dew that was a pure and magical light in liquid form. They were destroyed by the evil beings Ungoliant and Melkor, but their last flower and fruit were made into the Moon and the Sun. Creation and destruction The first sources of light for all of Tolkien's imaginary world, Arda, were two enormous Lamps on the central continent, Middle-earth: Illuin, the silver one to the north, and Ormal, the golden one to the south. They had been created by the Valar, powerful spirit beings, but were cast down and destroyed by the Dark Lord Melkor. The Valar retreated to Valinor to make their home on the western continent, and there one of them, Yavanna the Vala of living things, sang into existence the Two Trees to provide a new pair of light-sources. Again one was silver and the other golden. Telperion was referred to as male and Laurelin female. The Trees stood on the hill Ezellohar located outside the city of the Valar, Valimar. They grew in the presence of all of the Valar, watered by the tears of the Vala of pity and mourning, Nienna. Telperion had leaves that were dark green on their upper surface and silver on their lower. His blossoms were white like that of cherry and his silvery dew was collected as a source of water and of light. Laurelin had leaves of a young green, similar to the colour of newly opened beech leaves, trimmed with gold, and her dew was likewise collected by the Vala of light Varda. Each Tree, in turn, would give off light for seven hours (waxing to full brightness and then slowly waning again), with the ends of their cycles overlapping so that at one hour each of "dawn" and "dusk" soft gold and silver light would be given off together. In total, therefore, one "day" of first silver then gold light lasted twelve hours. Countless numbers of these "days" had passed by when Melkor reappeared. He enlisted the help of the giant spider-creature Ungoliant (and in some versions, a fallen primeval spirit of night (see Maia)) to destroy the Two Trees. Concealed in a cloud of darkness, Melkor struck each Tree and the insatiable Ungoliant devoured whatever life and light remained in them. Yavanna and Nienna attempted a healing, but they succeeded only in reviving Telperion's last flower (to become the Moon) and Laurelin's last fruit (to become the Sun). These were turned into flying ships crossing the sky, and each was steered by spirits who were chosen after the 'genders' of the Trees themselves: male Tilion and female Arien. This is why, in The Lord of the Rings, the Sun is usually referred to as "she" and the moon as "he". However the true light of the Trees, before |
7,603 | Tukuyu | Tukuyu, known as Neu Langenburg during the German colonial rule, is a small hillside town that lies about south of the city of Mbeya, at an elevation of around in the highland Rungwe District of southern Tanzania, East Africa. Tukuyu town has a moderate to cool temperature ranging from 10° C in May/June to mid 20°C in around November. The town and surrounding areas are ever green all year round due the almost year round convectional rains resulting from Lake Nyasa(Lake Malawi). The local language is Nyakyusa together with the national language Swahili. Secondary and college education is done in the English language. The people are the Nyakyusa, although localised groups give themselves different local names, such as the Waandali from the surrounding Ileje mountains. There are also intermarriages with the Kinga ,Wabena and Kisii tribes from the Livingstone mountain ranges. The Nyakyusa tribe which dominates the whole of Rungwe and Kyela Districts, can also be found in the Northern Part of Malawi. History In 1891 Lutheran and Moravian Christian missionaries started to work in this region, aiming to convert the local population to their faith. "German administration at the north end of Lake Nyasa was established in January 1893, some eighteen months after the arrival of the first German missionaries. The new administration arrived in the form of a party led by Hermann von Wissman, Imperial Commissioner and Commander-in-Chief, with orders to take possession of the territory in the south of German East Africa secured under the terms of the Anglo-German Agreement of 1890." The town was founded in 1900 by the German Imperial regime as the colonial town of Neu Langenburg, named after the original Langenburg on the shores of Lake Nyassa which had to be given up due to rising sea levels. It was an important regional centre under the Germans and consequently there is an important Lutheran presence here, including a hospital. According to the 1920 Deutsches Koloniallexikon two of the ten shops were operated by Europeans and the police force, composed of "coloureds", was 66 men strong. The town was administered by the British from 1919 until 1961, as Tukuyu in the British Empire's Tanganyika Territory. After 1919, when the Germans left, Scottish missionaries carried on the work of their German Catholic counterparts at the Kiymbila and Itete Stations. The British established a large hospital in the town in the early 1920s, and built reliable roads and bridges. There was a small British military post some miles south at Masoko. Topography The dormant volcano of Mount Rungwe, rising to 2,961 metres above sea level rises above the town, a part of the Great Rift Valley. Much of the mountain's area contains forest reserve, established as reserve by the British in 1949. Rungwe has unbroken 10−15 m closed-canopy forest up to the treeline at 2600 m, and is home to numerous important bird species. The bamboo zone starts at 1900 metres, and bamboo wood is extensively used by local people. The mountain forest has spiritual significance for the Wanyakyusa people( locally called 'Isyeto').

7,604 | Battle of Landen | The Battle of Landen or Neerwinden took place on 29 July 1693, during the Nine Years' War. It was fought around the village of Neerwinden in the Spanish Netherlands, now part of the municipality of Landen, Belgium. After four years of war, all combatants were struggling to cope with its financial and material costs. Hoping to force his opponents into a negotiated peace, Louis XIV wanted to first improve his position by taking the offensive in the Rhineland, Catalonia and Flanders. Marshal Luxembourg, French commander in Flanders, outmanoeuvred the Allies under William III. In doing so, he achieved local superiority, trapping their army in an extremely dangerous position, with a river to their rear. The only bridge was protected by the Allied right, which was strongly fortified and held the bulk of their artillery; most of the fighting took place in this area. After a series of head-on attacks, the French eventually prevailed through sheer weight of numbers; both sides suffered heavy losses and the Allied army escaped, although they were forced to abandon most of their artillery. Like Steenkerque the previous year, Landen was a French victory that failed to achieve a decisive result; the Allies quickly replaced their losses, leaving the overall position unchanged. Background Since 1689, the French generally had the better of the war in the Spanish Netherlands; in 1692, they captured Namur and won a narrow victory at Steinkirk but failed to split up the Grand Alliance. The November 1688 Glorious Revolution secured English resources for the anti-French alliance, while the 1691 Treaty of Limerick and the Anglo-Dutch naval victory at La Hogue ended attempts to restore James II. For the first time, the strategic situation was moving towards the Allies. However, war exacerbated the impact of the Little Ice Age, a prolonged period of cold weather that reached its low point in the 1690s. After four poor years, in 1693 harvests failed completely throughout Europe, causing catastrophic famine; between 1695 and 1697, an estimated two million died of starvation in Southern France and Northern Italy alone. In addition, armies had grown from an average of 25,000 in 1648 to over 100,000 by 1697, a level unsustainable for pre-industrial economies; in the 1701 to 1714 War of the Spanish Succession, they averaged 35,000. These factors particularly affected France, which was fighting a multi-front war without allies and needed peace, but Louis XIV always sought to improve his position before offering terms. The French held two key advantages over their opponents; undivided command and vastly superior logistics, which allowed them to mount offensives in early spring before their opponents were ready, seize their objectives and then assume a defensive posture. In 1693, Louis decided to take the offensive in the Rhineland, Flanders and Catalonia. When the attack in Germany proved unexpectedly successful, Luxembourg was ordered to send 28,000 of his troops from Flanders to Germany, then prevent William doing the same. Prelude By stripping garrisons from towns throughout Maritime Flanders, including Dunkirk and Ypres, Luxembourg increased his field army to 116,000. On 9 June, he embarked on a |

7,606 | Apprentice Adept | Apprentice Adept is a heptalogy of fantasy and science fiction novels written by English American author Piers Anthony. The series takes place on Phaze and Proton, two worlds occupying the same space in two different dimensional planes. Phaze is a lush planet of magic, where Proton is a barren mining planet of science. As the series opens, each person born on Phaze and Proton has an alternate self living on the other world. But if a person on either world lacks a duplicate (for instance if a Proton citizen immigrated there from another planet, or a counterpart from the opposite frame died), he can cross to the other through an energy "curtain" that circumscribes each frame. The first three books in the series follow Proton serf Stile as he enters Phaze and becomes an important political force there. The next three concern the adventures of Mach (Citizen Blue's son), Bane (Stile's son), and Bane's companions. Finally, volume 7, Phaze Doubt follows Bane's and Mach's nine-year-old children, Flach and Nepe, among others. Setting Proton In the series, Proton is only one planet in a galaxy of human-inhabited worlds. Most of the atmosphere of the planet has been destroyed through the mining of Protonite, a valuable energy source, and the inhabitants of Proton live in domed cities with artificial life support. Despite its advanced science, Proton's socioeconomic scheme somewhat resembles the medieval period. The planet is run by fabulously wealthy Citizens but the bulk of the inhabitants are serfs. Serfs must be employed by a Citizen and remain naked at all times unless ordered otherwise by a Citizen. A Citizen has complete authority over his serfs and may order them to do anything he desires. The weakest among them have wealth to rival medieval kings. Serfs, however, are not slaves; the serfs of Proton have all chosen serfdom as their occupation (or are descended from those who have). After twenty years of work, a serf earns a gram of Protonite, and his retirement. While a paltry sum on Proton itself, this is enough to make the former serf comfortably wealthy elsewhere in the galaxy. Even then many serfs would choose to stay on Proton after their twenty years are up, but it is not permitted in most circumstances. The exception to this rule is getting far enough in the tourney (see below). In addition to the Citizens and serfs, Proton is home to advanced robots, some of which are self-aware and possess their own free will. As the series opens it is not common knowledge that some robots are self-willed. Humanity has also made contact with alien species, some members of which make their homes on Proton as well. The Game The main pastime of Proton inhabitants is The Game. When two persons want to play a round, they proceed to a Game console. There, one player chooses one of four categories: 1. PHYSICAL, 2. MENTAL, 3. CHANCE, or 4. ARTS. The other player chooses among A. NAKED, B. TOOL, C. MACHINE, or D. ANIMAL. (In this context, naked does not necessarily mean unclothed |
7,607 | Bela Vista (São Paulo Metro) | Bela Vista will be one of the future stations of São Paulo Metro and will belong to Line 6-Orange, which construction is currently paralyzed. In its first phase, with of extension, Line 6 should connect Brasilândia, in the North Side, to São Joaquim station of Line 1-Blue. Later, the line should connect Rodovia dos Bandeirantes to the borough of Cidade Líder, in the East Side. The station will be located in a block between Avenida Brigadeiro Luís Antônio, Rua Pedroso and Rua Rui Barbosa, in the district of Bela Vista. The construction of the station began in 2016, when the opening date was estimated to mid-2020. Later, Governor Geraldo Alckmin promised the opening of the first phase of the line to 2020, time which was discarded due to a year of delay in the financing of the Federal Savings Bank, which would be used for the expropriations. In June 2016, the opening of the line was estimated for 2021, time kept in October 2017, when the resume of the construction was announced for the beginning of 2018. Currently, the construction is suspended, due to the involvement of the construction companies of the Move São Paulo consortium (Odebrecht, Queiroz Galvão, UTC Participações) in Operation Car Wash, which caused them to not get the financing of R$ 5.5 billions (US$ ) with the Brazilian Development Bank (BNDES) for the continuity of the construction. The State Government of São Paulo is currently in negotiations with international companies, including Spanish Acciona and Chinese China Railway Construction Corporation. Characteristics Buried station with side platforms, structure with apparent concrete and support rooms at-grade. It will have access for people with disabilities.

7,613 | Robert Emden | Jacob Robert Emden (4 March 1862 – 8 October 1940) was a Swiss astrophysicist and meteorologist. He is best known for his book, Gaskugeln: Anwendungen der mechanischen Wärmetheorie auf kosmologische und meteorologische probleme (Gas balls: Applications of the mechanical heat theory to cosmological and meteorological problems), published in 1907. It presents a mathematical model of the behaviour of polytropic gaseous stellar objects under the influence their own gravity, known as the Lane-Emden equation. Career Emden was born in St. Gallen, Switzerland, the eldest of three children. He studied mathematics and physics in Heidelberg and Berlin and completed his BS Physics in 1885, and his PhD in Physics in 1887 at the University of Strasbourg, France. His thesis was on the vapour pressure of salt solutions. He was appointed professor of physics at the Technical University of Munich in 1889. He became associate professor of physics and meteorology at the Technical University of Munich (1907-1920) and in 1907 published the classical work Gaskugeln: Anwendungen der mechanischen Wärmetheorie auf kosmologische und meteorologische probleme. Emden was a member of the Bayerische Akademie der Wissenschaften from 1920 to 1933. In 1924 he became honorary professor of astrophysics at the University of Munich. In 1930 Emden assisted in the founding of Zeitschrift fur Astrophysik and served as the editor for six years. On 10 June 1932 he became an Associate of the Royal Astronomical Society. He retired in 1934. Influence in physics and meteorology Most of Emden's work related to thermodynamics applied to natural phenomena, while his published papers focused on geophysics and astrophysics. Emden's book Gaskugeln: Anwendungen der mechanischen Wärmetheorie auf kosmologische und meteorologische probleme presented a mathematical model to explain the expansion and compression of gas spheres. The book also includes a short section on Karl Schwarzschild's theory of convective equilibrium. Emden's work, in conjunction with Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar, was named the Emden–Chandrasekhar equation. In a major advance over previous work, by introducing polytropic solutions, modelling of a much broader range of stellar objects was possible. His theories also suggested that stars have a boundary at a finite radius. This work, in conjunction with Jonathan Homer Lane, became known as the Lane-Emden equation. The Lane-Emden equation can be described as "a second-order ordinary differential equation that applies to polytropic profiles in density". The Lane-Emden equations were later studied by Ralph H. Fowler who developed a new set of solutions for different values of n and for all types of boundary conditions. These became known as Emden-Fowler-type differential equations. Emden's convective stellar models have been supplanted by radiative theory. Robert Emden also offered an hypothesis, which has since been discredited, to explain sunspots. The crater Emden on the Moon is named after him. Personal life Robert Emden married Klara Schwarzschild, the sister of German physicist and astronomer Karl Schwarzschild and the uncle of the German-American astrophysicist Martin Schwarzschild. They had six children of whom the names of five are known: Charlotte Schein; Emma Müller; Antonia Flach; Karl Emden, and Johanna Luise Berchtold-Emden. Although he married into a strongly scientific family, Robert Emden's children are not noted for |

7,618 | Astrid Båhl | Astrid Båhl (born Astrid Margarete Bål; 6 June 1959) is a Norwegian Sámi artist. In addition to her other work, she also designed the Sámi flag. Biography Astrid Båhl was born in 1959 in Karesuando, Norrbotten County, Sweden, and she moved as a child to Skibotn, Storfjord Municipality, Troms County, Norway. She studied art education in secondary school in Narvik, and continued her training at the Norwegian National Academy of Craft and Art Industry in Oslo, where she studied textile printing, graphic design, and freehand drawing. Båhl has exhibited her work in several exhibitions, including "Mijjen luunie – Kums oss" a South Sámi mobile exhibition in 1994, and "ČSV- å visualisere Sápmi" on Jeløya in 2006. In 1986, she won a competition sponsored by the newspaper Sámi Áigi to design a flag for the Sámi people, beating over 70 other entries. The flag was officially adopted and raised for the first time at the 13th Sámi Conference in Åre, Sweden on 15 August 1986. According to Båhl, the flag design was inspired by the Southern Sámi-language poem "Päiven Pārne'" (Sons of the Sun) by Anders Fjellner and symbolizes that the sun gives life to the earth. In her design, Båhl also drew inspiration from old writings and books about Sámi languages, mythology, and symbolism. Båhl also designed the Norwegian postage stamps for "Tråante 2017", an event commemorating the 100th anniversary of the Sámi Assembly of 1917 in Trondheim.

7,619 | Yeshivat Ma'ale Gilboa | Yeshivat Ma'ale Gilboa () is a Shiluv Yeshiva located on Kibbutz Ma'ale Gilboa in Israel's Gilboa Mountains. The Shiluv Yeshiva is unique in that it combines two years of Torah study with the full three years of army service. This is in contrast to students from Hesder Yeshivot, which only serve in the army for a year and a half and complete three and a half years of Torah study. The Yeshiva emphasizes a commitment to rigorous Torah study, intellectual openness, intellectual disagreement and social consciousness. History In 1993, the Kibbutz HaDati (Religious Kibbutz) Movement approached and encouraged Rabbi Shmuel Reiner, then Rabbi of Kibbutz Tirat Zvi, to open a Yeshiva in the north of Israel to complement Kibbutz HaDati's (then) decade old Yeshiva in Ein Zurim. Rabbi Reiner approached his friend Rabbi Yehuda Gilad, then as now, Rabbi of Kibbutz Lavi, to join him. They jointly began to recruit both students and staff. Ma'ale Gilboa was chosen to host the Yeshiva not only because of the natural beauty of surrounding area, but to strengthen the slowly diminishing kibbutz community. In 1994, the Yeshiva opened its doors, and, in addition to the Rashei Yeshiva, it attracted a most dedicated staff of educators, including Rabbi Meir Rubinstein and Rabbi David Bigman, who was then Rosh Yeshiva at Ein Zurim and came back to Ma'ale Gilboa to serve as Rosh Yeshiva. At first, the Yeshiva was hosted in the Kibbutz's Synagogue, but quickly outgrew that. Within several years it moved to its current campus opposite the Kibbutz's old headquarters in the 'Migdal' or 'Tower.' New modern dormitories were built to accommodate the increase in enrollment. Later, the Yeshiva took over the management of the local 'inn'-Margoa BaGilboa. Philosophy of the Yeshiva Yeshivat Maale Gilboa is committed to educating a generation of young students who relate to a pluralistic and democratic Israeli society. The Yeshiva's diverse group of educators emphasize a commitment to rigorous Torah study, intellectual openness, and social consciousness. Based on the belief that Talmidei Chachamim have a responsibility to contribute in all branches of society, the teachers at Ma'ale Gilboa have created a broad program that addresses the needs of the contemporary student. As a Shiluv Yeshiva, Ma'ale Gilboa is dedicated to full involvement in modern Israeli life, and therefore obligates its Israeli students to serve a full 3-year tour of military service. The three main messages of Yeshivat Ma'ale Gilboa are Openness to various methods of Torah study including techniques and ideas from the academic world. Integration of the analytic and spiritual sides of Judaism and Torah study. Sensitivity to the current issues of Am Yisrael and the State of Israel. Curriculum Classes There are four classes every day on various topics by a variety of rabbis. Most of the shiurim are in Hebrew. 4-5 shiurim a week are given to the overseas students, usually in English. Classes are offered in Tanakh, philosophy of Halacha, general philosophy, Rambam, Literature, Hassidism, Musar and many other topics. There are over 40 different classes offered throughout the week. Students are encouraged to attend around |

7,629 | International School of Islamabad | International School of Islamabad (ISOI) is an international school in Islamabad, Pakistan, serving K-12. Established in 1965, it moved to its present site in Islamabad in 1975. Previously it was located in Rawalpindi. History The United States Military Advisory Aid Group (USMAAG) established a one-room school in Rawalpindi, Pakistan in 1965; the school moved to a prefabricated building located on of land in January 1966. While the school was in Rawalpindi it served grades K-8. Initially the younger students directly took classes while correspondence course were used for higher grade levels. Wives of UMAAG employees taught the younger students. By January 1966 the school had a superintendent and five teachers hired from the U.S., giving instruction to 35 students. In 1970 the ISOI board of directors decided to move the school to Islamabad, and in 1975 the current campus, located on a more than site, and built with a large amount of U.S. government funding, opened. Several militants attempted to break into the school by scaling the walls in 1979. In 1988 unarmed rocket-propelled grenades originating from an explosion of the Ojhri Camp ammunition depot landed on the school property. The school's peak enrollment was about 660 students, during the 1992–1993 school year. Various subsequent events resulted in a decline in the school's enrollment. The withdrawal of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) from Pakistan caused a steady enrollment decline from 1992–1993 until 1997-1997, when the school had 555 students. The U.S. government ordered an attack on Afghanistan in 1998. As a result, the U.S. government evacuated Americans from Pakistan, causing the ISOI enrollment to decrease to 510. Additional declines in enrollment resulted after the September 11, 2001 attacks, the March 2002 Islamabad church bombing, and a 2002 attack on Murree Christian School. There were 165 students in January 2003, an all-time low, but enrollment recovered to 374 in 2007–2008. Enrollment declined after 2008. After the Islamabad Marriott Hotel bombing in October of that year, the United Nations and other organizations stated that Islamabad was not a family post, meaning employees of those organizations may not have their family members in the same city. Additional events in Pakistan and neighboring countries caused additional enrollment declines. Demographics Each year, 30% of the school's students are new students. Enrollment count: January 1966: 35 1992–1993: About 660 1997–1998: About 555 1998–1999: 510 January 2003: 165 students 2004–2005: 297 2005–2006: 302 2006–2007: 362 2007–2008: 374 Notable alumni Shahnawaz Bhutto, son of former Prime Minister of Pakistan Zulfikar Ali Bhutto.

7,630 | Crazy Eights | Crazy Eights is a shedding-type card game for two to seven players. The object of the game is to be the first to get rid of all the player's cards to a discard pile. The game is similar to Switch and Mau Mau. A standard 52-card deck is used when there are five or fewer players. When there are more than five players, two decks are shuffled together and all 104 cards are used. Origins The game first appeared as Eights in the 1930s, and the name Crazy Eights dates to the 1940s, derived from the United States military designation for discharge of mentally unstable soldiers, Section 8. There are many variations of the basic game, and a number of different names including Craits, Last One, Mau-Mau, Pesten, Rockaway, Swedish Rummy, Switch, Last Card, Screw Your Neighbor, Püskiyon, and Tschausepp. Bartok, Mao, Quango, Zar, Taki, and Uno are more extreme variations. David Parlett describes Crazy Eights as "not so much a game as a basic pattern of play on which a wide variety of changes can be rung," noting that players can easily invent and explore new rules. Basic play Five cards are dealt to each player (or seven in a two-player game). The remaining cards of the deck are placed face down at the center of the table. The top card is then turned face up to start the game. Players discard by matching rank or suit with the top card of the discard pile, starting with the player left of the dealer. They can also play any 8 at any time, which allows them to declare the suit that the next player is to play; that player must then follow the named suit or play another 8. If a player is unable or unwilling to play a card, they must repeatedly draw cards from the stockpile until they draw a card they are able and willing to play, and play it. As an example: Once is played the next player: can play , or can play any club can play any 8 (then must declare a suit) can draw from the stockpile and continue their turn If the stock pile runs out, all played cards except for the top one are reshuffled to form a new stock. The game ends as soon as one player has emptied their hand. That player collects a payment from each opponent equal to the point score of the cards remaining in that opponent's hand. 8s score 50, court cards 10 and all other cards face value. If the players run out of cards in the deck, the player with the lowest point score in their hand scores the difference between that hand and each opponent's hand. The winner of the game is the first player to reach a specific number of points. For two players it is 100 points, three players 150, four 200, five 250, six 300 and for seven players 350. Variations Card game historian John McLeod describes Crazy Eights as "one of the easiest games to modify by adding variations", and |

7,632 | Anderson Hutchinson | Anderson Hutchinson (1798–December 31, 1852) was a Justice of the Republic of Texas from 1841 to 1843. Born in Greenbrier County, then in the state of Virginia (later in West Virginia), Hutchinson received an education in the common schools, and read law in the office of his father, who was clerk of the court for Greenbrier County. Hutchinson moved several times, first to Knoxville, Tennessee, where he gained admission to the bar, then to Huntsville, Alabama, and then to Raymond, Mississippi, where he "soon took a high position at the bar". He compiled "Hutchinson's Code", and a "Manual of Forms", before moving to the Republic of Texas in 1840, where he "was scarcely naturalized before he was elected to the supreme Bench of the Republic". On the morning of September 11, 1842, while carrying out his duties as a Justice, Hutchinson was among a group of 58 people captured by Mexican forces in San Antonio. While imprisoned in Mexico, he "was forced to undergo many physical hardships", until he was released by the interposition of the United States government. He then returned to Mississippi "with a constitution greatly impaired by the exposures to which he was subjected", and formally resigned from the Texas court. Hutchinson died at his home in Jackson, Mississippi.

Songs by the Irish-born composer Victor Herbert were added to the expanded CD, as was a segment featuring Irish tenor John McCormack together with other Irish-themed songs by Crosby from his various radio series. Background During personal discussions over several years which culminated in early 1966, Bing Crosby agreed to work with Irish entrepreneur George O'Reilly in the making of a television show in Ireland featuring Irish artists, music, and songs. The recording of this hour-long show was scheduled for a week in September 1966 and four locations were chosen for the outside filming. The show opened with Crosby standing on a small platform at O'Connell Bridge overlooking O'Connell Street in Dublin, then moving to the grounds and interior of Howth Castle at Deerpark in County Dublin. The second main segment was filmed on the stage of the world-famous Abbey Theatre in Dublin with The Little Dublin Singers, and the final segment was filmed amongst the keeves and vats at the Guinness Brewery in James's Street, Dublin with the Guinness Choir. The orchestra was the Radio Éireann Light Orchestra conducted by co-director Buddy Bregman, and they recorded the music in the O'Connell Hall, Dublin. Bing added his voice at the Eamonn Andrews Studios in Henry Street and also contributed some items live on location during the actual filming. He also scripted the programme himself and featured his wife Kathryn in the Howth Castle and Abbey Theatre segments. Critical reception Variety reviewed the TV special, saying: "Hosted by Bing Crosby at his most nonchalant, this pleasing songalog was presented as an affectionate tribute to Ireland, using local talent to give samples from its musical backlog ... Crosby himself strolled effortlessly though such numbers as "Dublin Bay" , "Molly Malone", "Come Back to Erin", and other folk standards, and wife Kathryn occasionally acted as hostess with suitable charm ... Crosby wandered through the Guinness factory and other venues, like a kindly guide and dodged most of the pitfalls of sentimentality inherent in the subject. With the U. S. bulging with Irishmen, and with the Kennedy connection still to the fore, the show should foster nostalgia and mild pleasure in that particular mart."

7,642 | Leyden plaque | The Leyden plaque, sometime called Leiden plate or Leiden plaque, is a jadeite belt plate from the early classic period of the Maya civilization. Although the plate was found on the Caribbean coast of Guatemala, it may have been made in Tikal. The plate is now in the National Museum of Ethnology in Leiden, Netherlands, hence its official name. It is one of the oldest Maya objects using the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar. History The plate was discovered by chance by a Dutch engineer, S.A. van Braam, in 1834. He was part of a team employed by a lumber company to dig a canal near Puerto Barrios in Guatemala, in the lower Motagua Valley. The team accidentally knocked down what looked like an ancient Central-American funeral mound. There he found many objects in bronze and in jadeite, the little jade plate amongst them. The plate was brought back to the Netherlands in 1864 and was gifted to the National Museum of Ethnology. The first scientific description of the plate was made by Leeman in 1877, and many others followed, notably Holden in 1880 and Valentine in 1881, who started deciphering the inscriptions. A lot of ground work on the dating of the plate was done in 1938 by Frances and Sylvanus Morley. Their study remains one of the more conclusive made on the plate. The date on the plate was used to study time and calendar in the Maya world, and the plate remains one of the earliest examples of the usage of a cyclical calendar in the Central-American world. It is remarkable for being the oldest known usage of a Maya ordinal zero, which symbol (graphically derived from the drawing of a sitting man, typically representing a king's crowning) appears two times, one to form the date "0 Yaxkin" from the first day of the seventh month of the festive year in Haab' calendar, and one to denote the Moon-Bird king accessing its throne on the other side of the plaque. Description The plaque is a small rectangular object of pale green jadeite measuring 21.7 by 8.6 centimeters. Its faces are carved with both drawings and glyphs. A hole at its top hints that it was used as a pendant, probably as a waist plate. While it was found far from its possible original location of Tikal in a post-classic archeological context, it dates from the Early Classic era. It poses as an example of precious object preserved and used several centuries after its making, which is common in Mesoamerica. The front face has a picture of a richly-dressed man. His head and the lower part of his body are seen from profile, but his breast is turned toward the front, with the feet placed one behind the other. It represents a victorious lord, possibly an otherwise-unknown ruler of Tikal, wearing six celts and some trophy heads around his waist, standing with bound captives he vanquished. He also carries an atlatl, or two head serpent, in his hand. The serpents have a human head in their mouth, a characteristic feature of |

7,645 | Susan Solomon | Susan Solomon (born January 19, 1956 in Chicago) is an atmospheric chemist, working for most of her career at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. In 2011, Solomon joined the faculty at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where she serves as the Ellen Swallow Richards Professor of Atmospheric Chemistry & Climate Science. Solomon, with her colleagues, was the first to propose the chlorofluorocarbon free radical reaction mechanism that is the cause of the Antarctic ozone hole. Solomon is a member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, the European Academy of Sciences, and the French Academy of Sciences. In 2002, Discover magazine recognized her as one of the 50 most important women in science. In 2008, Solomon was selected by Time magazine as one of the 100 most influential people in the world. She also serves on the Science and Security Board for the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. Biography Early life Solomon's interest in science began as a child watching The Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau. In high school she placed third in a national science fair, with a project that measured the percent of oxygen in a gas mixture. Solomon received a bachelor's degree in chemistry from Illinois Institute of Technology in 1977. She received her Ph.D. in chemistry from the University of California, Berkeley in 1981, where she specialized in atmospheric chemistry. Personal life Solomon married Barry Sidwell in 1988. Work Solomon was the head of the Chemistry and Climate Processes Group of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Chemical Sciences Division until 2011. In 2011, she joined the faculty of the Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Books The Coldest March: Scott's Fatal Antarctic Expedition, Yale University Press, 2002 – Depicts the tale of Captain Robert Falcon Scott's failed 1912 Antarctic expedition, specifically applying the comparison of modern meteorological data with that recorded by Scott's expedition in an attempt to shed new light on the reasons for the demise of Scott's polar party. Aeronomy of the Middle Atmosphere: Chemistry and Physics of the Stratosphere and Mesosphere, 3rd Edition, Springer, 2005 – Describes the atmospheric chemistry and physics of the middle atmosphere from altitude. The ozone hole Solomon, working with colleagues at the NOAA Earth System Research Laboratory, postulated the mechanism that the Antarctic ozone hole was created by a heterogeneous reaction of ozone and chlorofluorocarbons free radicals on the surface of ice particles in the high altitude clouds that form over Antarctica. In 1986 and 1987 Solomon led the National Ozone Expedition to McMurdo Sound, where the team gathered the evidence to confirm the accelerated reactions. Solomon was the solo leader of the expedition, and the only woman on the team. Her team measured levels of chlorine oxide 100 times higher than expected in the atmosphere, which had been released by the decomposition of chlorofluorocarbons by ultraviolet radiation. Solomon later showed that volcanoes could accelerate the reactions caused by chlorofluorocarbons, and so increase the damage to the ozone layer. Her work formed the basis of the U.N.

7,646 | Induced consumption | Induced consumption is the portion of consumption that varies with disposable income. When a change in disposable income “induces” a change in consumption on goods and services, then that changed consumption is called “induced consumption”. In contrast, expenditures for autonomous consumption do not vary with income. For instance, expenditure on a consumable that is considered a normal good would be considered to be induced. In the simple linear consumption function, induced consumption is represented by the term , where denotes disposable income and is called the marginal propensity to consume.

7,650 | Stz'uminus First Nation | The Stz'uminus First Nation (formerly known as the Chemainus Indian Band and Chemainus First Nation) is a First Nations government located in southeastern Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada, near the town of Ladysmith, British Columbia. The Stz'uminus First Nation is a member government of the Naut'sa mawt Tribal Council. In early 2009, chief and council unanimously passed a band council resolution to officially change the name from Chemainus to Stz'uminus in order to reflect its original Hul'qumi'num language name. "Salish Sea" In March 2008, the Stz'uminus First Nation representative George Harris proposed renaming the nearby Strait of Georgia as the Salish Sea, an idea that reportedly met with approval by B.C.'s Aboriginal Relations Minister Mike de Jong, who pledged to put it before the B.C. cabinet for discussion. Renaming would require a formal application to the Geographical Names Board of Canada. The name was formally adopted as of the Throne Speech opening the BC Legislature on February 9, 2010. The Salish Sea name has been used by the Coast Salish Gathering, a trans-boundary organization of Coast Salish leaders, since 2007. The Stz'uminus First Nation's largest Indian reserve, Chemainus Indian Reserve No. 13, is located on Stuart Channel, which is one of the countless smaller waterways within the Salish Sea as defined. The Salish Sea name was originally proposed by Bert Webber from Bellingham, Washington in March, 1989, for the Strait of Georgia, Puget Sound and the Strait of Juan de Fuca and all adjoining waters.

7,651 | Hilton Athens | Hilton Athens is a hotel in Athens, Greece. It is on Vassilissis Sofias Avenue within the Hilton Area, near Syntagma Square, the Kolonaki and Pangrati neighbourhoods, and other of central Athens’ main tourist attractions. The hotel stands opposite the National Gallery of Athens and Evangelismos station. The hotel has an on-site restaurant and bar which are also used as meeting places by local Athenians as well as visitors to the city. It has a spa and a 25m by 15m outdoor swimming pool. History The hotel officially opened on April 20th, 1963, as Athens' first international chain hotel. Conrad Hilton was present at the opening ceremony. Guests at the hotel have included Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis, singer Frank Sinatra, director Ingmar Bergman and actor Anthony Quinn. Hilton Athens was the headquarters for the International Olympic Committee during the 2004 Summer Olympics. In 2011 the organizing committee of the 2011 Special Olympics World Summer Games also took the hotel as their base of operations. The hotel hosted Athens’ first contemporary art gallery, the Hilton Gallery, in cooperation with Marilena Liacopoulou. From 1968 until 1972 the Hilton Gallery was responsible for various historical exhibitions. Nowadays the hotel displays artworks and invests regularly in lobby exhibitions of artists from Greece and abroad. Building The hotel was designed by a team of architects including Emmanuel Vourekas, Prokopis Vasileiadis, Anthony Georgiades and Spyro Staikos. Artist Yiannis Moralis, inspired by Greek themes, designed the reliefs of the building's façade. The hotel was constructed in the post-war period between 1958 and 1963. The combination of classical and modernist elements incorporated into the hotel's exterior, with its mix of modern and traditional styles, caused disagreements on architectural, urban planning, cultural and political issues. In 2003, anticipating the 2004 Summer Olympic Games, Hilton Athens was renovated by Greek architects Alexandros Tombazis and Charis Bougadelis. The establishment was refurbished, and a new seven-storey northern wing was added. The completed new wing contains 74 rooms and suites, which add up to a total of 506 available hotel rooms. With its current 15 floors above ground, the building is 65 meters high.

7,653 | Hereditary officers of the Roman Curia | The Roman Court or Papal Curia was reformed by the papal bull Pontificalis Domus issues by Pope Paul VI in 1969. It abolished the role of the old Roman nobility at the papal court with the exception of the position of Prince Assistant to the Papal Throne. The titles abolished, such as the Grand Master of the Sacred Apostolic Hospice and Marshal of the Holy Roman Church and the Sacred Conclave, remain heredity but are now purely honorary. This position of Prince Assistant had been shared jointly by the Princes Orsini and Colonna, but the former was deprived of the title by Pope Pius XII after he obtained a divorce and the title was conferred upon Prince Torlonia, Prince of Fucino, Canino and Musignano of the Torlonia family. The Prince Assistants are representatives of the Roman nobility, who serve at the feet of the Throne immediately next to the cardinal deacon who stands to the right of the pope. They alternate in fulfilling the functions of the office and no one can substitute for them. Their principal function is to serve on the occasion of official visits by a head of state. The reforms of 1969 also abolished the various categories of Secret Chamberlains of the Cape and Sword and changed this title to Gentlemen of His Holiness. Other offices were abolished altogether, but officeholders were reassigned. Office holders Great officers Prince Assistants to the Papal Throne (hereditary): Prince Don Alessandro Torlonia Prince Don Marcantonio Colonna, Prince and Duke of Paliano, Duke of Mariano Marshal of the Holy Roman Church and the Sacred Conclave (non-hereditary): Prince Don Sigismondo Chigi-Albani della Rovere, Prince of the Holy Roman Empire, Prince of Farnese, Campagnano, and Soriano, Duke of Ariccia and Formello Grand Master of the Sacred Apostolic Hospice (hereditary): Prince Ruspoli Hereditary Quartermaster General of the Sacred Apostolic Palace (hereditary): Marquess Giulio Sacchetti, Marquess of Castel Romano (highest ranking laymen in the Vatican service as Delegate of the State of the City of the Vatican) Cavallerizzo Maggiore (Superintendent of the stables of the Palaces) (hereditary): Marquess Gregorio Serlupi Crescenzi Superintendent of the Posts (hereditary): Prince Don Filippo Massimo, Prince and Lord of Arsoli, Duke of Anticoli Corrado Keeper of the Golden Rose (destined for members of royal houses) (non-hereditary) Papal guards Captain Commander of the Noble Guard (not hereditary, but always a Roman prince with the rank of Lieutenant General): last holders included Princes Altieri, Aldobrandini, Barberini, Rospigliosi).

7,654 | Harlin Rail Bridge | Harlin Rail Bridge is a heritage-listed railway bridge (now ruins) over Ivory (formerly Maronghi) Creek at Harlin, Somerset Region, Queensland, Australia. It was designed by Queensland Railways and built in 1910 by Queensland Railways. It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 27 November 2008. It was destroyed in 2013 as a consequence of flooding associated with Cyclone Oswald. History The Harlin Rail Bridge, which crossed Ivory Creek (previously Maronghi Creek) at Harlin was located from Wulkuraka railway station. It was a half-through Pratt truss (or pony truss) bridge built between 1909 and 1910 and was the only surviving concrete and steel railway bridge on the Brisbane Valley railway line. This line was developed as a branch line from the main Brisbane-Toowoomba rail line. It was constructed from Wulkuraka near Ipswich to Lowood (1884), then extended to Esk (1886), then Toogoolawah (February 1904), Yimbun (September 1904), Linville (1910), Benarkin and Blackbutt (1911) and finally to Yarraman (1913). Originally intended that the line would eventually meet the Gympie to Nanango rail line to serve as a rail connection to Gympie and be a shorter route between the South Burnett and Brisbane, the final linking section was never constructed. The Upper Brisbane Valley was settled by squatters in the 1840s and the timber industry in the Brisbane Valley also dates from this period. Closer settlement began in the 1870s. The timber industry quickly developed thereafter as land was rapidly cleared by selectors and the increased population of Brisbane and Ipswich from the 1870s demanded timber for housing and fuel on a continuing basis. The first sawmills in the Brisbane Valley, established in the 1870s, were located at Rosewood, Dundas and Colinton. Closer settlement of the Brisbane Valley had progressed sufficiently by 1877 for the country from Walloon via Esk and Nanango to be examined as a possible route for a railway to Gympie. In 1879 Queensland Premier Thomas McIlwraith approved the building of several branch lines, including one to Esk. However, the original plans for these branch lines were withdrawn from parliamentary consideration in 1880 on the recommendation of Francis Thomas Gregory, Member of the Queensland Legislative Council. In spite of this opposition, in 1881 the Queensland Parliament approved the building of the Brisbane Valley branch line from Wulkuraka to Esk. The contract for the first section was let to O'Rourke and McSharry in October 1882 with Henry Charles Stanley acting as Chief Engineer. This section to Lowood, a place that scarcely existed before the railway, opened on 16 June 1884. The Brisbane Valley Branch Line was the second branch line in Queensland after the Dugandan railway line, which opened to Harrisville in 1882. Within weeks an extension of the line from Lowood to Esk was approved in August 1884 by Premier Samuel Griffith. Henry Charles Stanley remained as Chief Engineer but HA Brigg was appointed as the contractor. The second section to Esk opened on 9 August 1886 and remained the terminus for more than 17 years, becoming an important centre and livestock loading point.

7,657 | Interdom | Interdom (Ivanovo International Boarding School) is a special school for foreigners located in the city of Ivanovo in Russia. The name is an abbreviation of the Russian internatzionalny dom or "International House". It was created in on March 26, 1933 by the textile women of the city under the direction of the Soviet section of International Red Aid (also known as МОPR, its Russian acronym). The boarding school was later named after founder Elena Dmitrievna Stasova. It was conceived as a school for children of repressed democratic leaders and activists from all over the world. Interdom underwent major extensions in the years 1961, 1969 and especially around 1990. As the Soviet Union collapsed, Interdom also became home for many children victims of the Chernobyl disaster. At the beginning of the 21st century plans to transform the international school into a military academy for cadets (see Suvorov Military School) were successfully blocked. This was achieved thanks to a major effort by the school staff, the Russian Red Cross and the prompt response of the Russian Committee for Peace, in particular the influence of its president, the former chess world champion Anatoly Karpov.

7,665 | List of elevator accidents | This is a list of elevator accidents by death toll. It does not include accidents involving gondola lifts, ski lifts, and similar types of cable transport. List Other notable accidents On 14 December 1883, in one of the earliest documented elevator accidents, a 15-year-old boy was decapitated by an elevator at a furniture warehouse in Baltimore, Maryland. On 20 May 1905, three elevator accidents occurred in New York City within the span of a few hours, killing two men and one woman. On 28 July 1945, a U.S. Army plane crashed into the Empire State Building in New York City, causing an elevator to fall 75 stories (more than 300 meter or 1,000 feet). Elevator operator Betty Lou Oliver was injured but survived. It remains the Guinness World Record for the longest fall survived in an elevator. On 20 July 1973, former Australian member of parliament Dugald Munro was crushed to death in an elevator accident, aged 43. He was trapped between the lift cage and door in a building in Bridge Street, Sydney, and was unable to be freed. In October 1999, a brief power dip caused an elevator to stop between the 13th and 14th floors at the McGraw-Hill Building in New York City, trapping Nicholas White, an employee of the building who was going down to take a cigarette break. Despite activating an alarm and the presence of a surveillance camera, nearly 41 hours passed before he was noticed and rescued. Years later, the surveillance video was made public. In April 2013, an elevator broke down at Hotel Eden in Bad Gastein, Austria, trapping the owner inside. He was rescued after four days. In March 2016, a woman in her late 30s or early 40s was found starved to death inside an elevator at an apartment building in the Chinese city of Xi’an. She was overlooked when maintenance men returned the elevator to the first floor and took it out of service. When they returned more than a month later, the woman's body was found. It sparked outrage over the apparent negligence and the case was later classified as negligent homicide. At least one person was detained. On 16 November 2018, an elevator plunged 84 floors (95th floor to 11th floor) at the 100-story John Hancock Center in Chicago, but no one was injured. On 22 August 2019, a 30-year-old man was crushed to death at an apartment building in New York City when the elevator which he was trying to exit suddenly gave way. Five other people were trapped in the elevator and were later rescued by firefighters. One man had exited the elevator just before it gave way.

7,666 | Kompolt | Kompolt is a village in Heves county, Hungary, lying west of Füzesabony, on the River Gyöngyös. History Kompolt was the seat of the Aba clan. At the end of the twelfth century it was recorded as . László IV permitted the setting up of a Benedictine monastery in 1280, which was destroyed in 1552. Population Kompolt has a population of nearly 2,250. On several occasions Kompolt lost its population. Kató Hámán a communist workers heroine was born here in 1884. Communications Kompolt is both from Road 3 and the Budapest-Miskolc railway line. It also has a railway station on the Kál-Bátonyterenye branch line. The M3 motorway, built in 1998, bypasses the settlement at a distance of and has reduced traffic congestion. Economy The main activity was farming, especially production of folder crops and latterly tobacco. The Plant Improvement Institute, founded in 1918 by Rudolf Fleischmann and named after him is renowned throughout Europe. The Institute is still involved with plant breeding such as alfalfa, hemp and cereals). Landmarks Among the sightseeing spots, the former Grassalkovich Castle, built in 1750 in Baroque style, is worth looking at. A granary was additionally built beside the castle in 1770. Its basement has quarters which were built in the Middle Ages and are covered with staved brick arches presumably built by the Benedictines. The Neo-Romantic Catholic church with one tower was built in 1858. Both buildings are monuments. There is little tourism.

7,668 | Clare de Kitchen | "Clare de Kitchen" is an American song from the blackface minstrel tradition. It dates to 1832, when blackface performers such as George Nichols, Thomas D. Rice, and George Washington Dixon began to sing it. These performers and American writers such as T. Allston Brown traced the song's origins to black riverboatsmen. "Clare de Kitchen" became very popular, and performers sometimes sang the lyrics of "Blue Tail Fly" to its tune. Musicologist Dale Cockrell sees echoes of European mumming traditions in "Clare de Kitchen". In traditional mumming plays, the participants first entered a private household. One mummer, usually with a broom and sometimes with blackened face, would then clear an area and declare the space to now be public, for the use of the players. "Clare de Kitchen", Cockrell argues, moves this public/private space to the theatre. The first verse reflects this relationship to mumming: In old Kentuck in de arternoon, We sweep de floor wid a bran new broom, And dis de song dat we do sing, Oh! Clare de kitchen old folks young folks Clare de kitchen old folks young folks Old Virginny never tire. The line "I wish I was back in old Kentuck" is one of the earliest examples of "I wish I was in" from blackface minstrelsy. This line eventually became the famous "I Wish I Was in Dixie" in 1859. An alternate set of lyrics, sung by Thomas D. Rice in the mid-1830s, may reflect the input or influence of American blacks. This version features animal characters and trickster figures triumphing over larger animals in the same way that such figures do in African folktales: A jay bird sot on a hickory limb, He wink'd at me and I wink'd at him, I pick'd up a stone and I hit his shin, Says he you better not do dat agin. A Bull frog dress'd sogers close, Went in de field to shoot some crows; De crows smell powder and fly away, De Bull frog mighty mad dat day. Notes References Cockrell, Dale (1997).

7,669 | Lascarins | Lascarins (, or Lascareen, Lascoreen and Lascarine) is a term used in Sri Lanka to identify indigenous soldiers who fought for the Portuguese during the Portuguese era (1505–1658) and continued to serve as colonial soldiers until the 1930s. The lascarins played a crucial role not only in the colonial armies, but also in the success of the campaigns of the local kingdoms. Derivation The term originates from the Persian word Lascar, pronounced Lashkar (), meaning military camp or army - related to the Arabic 'Askar (Arabic: عسكر) derived from the former, meaning 'guard' or 'soldier' (whence Askari). The Portuguese adapted this term to lasquarim or lascarim, meaning an Asian militiaman or seaman. The latter meaning is preserved in English as Lascar. In Sri Lanka it was used in the military sense, which was also preserved in India as Gun Lascar. The Dutch adapted it to lascorijn and the English to lascariin, lascarine, lascoreen, etc. History The Portuguese first landed in Sri Lanka in 1505 and by 1517 they were able to erect a fort in Colombo and controlled most of the inbound and outbound trade affairs. After the historical event known as 'Wijayaba Kollaya' in 1521 they became involved in the internal affairs and conflicts between local kingdoms. Due to the limited manpower from Portugal, the Portuguese hired local soldiers to defend Portuguese and the Kotte kingdom's interests and to assist in offensive purposes. Almost all of these Lascarins were Catholic converted Karava, Karaiyar and Nairs. This was a time when many members of local royalty was adopting Catholicism. After the Portuguese imposed direct control on local kingdoms (mainly the Kingdom of Kotte), many of the forces loyal to the king of Kotte became Lascarins and continued to hold ranks such as Mudali, Muhandiram, Arachchi or Kankani. Lascarins were crucial for the occupying Portuguese forces, during their battles against local kingdoms because they knew the local geography. In almost every early battle the Portuguese fought in Sri Lanka, the majority of their army was composed of Lascarins. On many occasions other than in the Portuguese conquest of the Jaffna kingdom, the lascarins changed sides and supported the local kingdoms. In the 1594 Campaign of Danture the forces of Vimaladharmasuriya doubled as a result of these defections and in the Battle of Randeniwela, the Portuguese expedition of 1630, almost the entire contingent of Lascarcins defected. In both the formidable campaign of 1603 led by Jerónimo de Azevedo as well as in the Battle of Gannoruwa, the last major battle in the Sinhalese–Portuguese War, the lascarins defected en masse. For this reason, the Portuguese started to rely more on Indian, African (Kaffirs) and Malay mercenaries in their offensive campaigns during the latter stages of their rule. Lascarins also took part on both sides during the Dutch–Portuguese War which ended the Portuguese occupation of coastal Sri Lanka. Lascarins served on with the Dutch during the period 1640–1796. Lascarins were divided into 'ranchuwas' (randje) meaning company, each consisting of two or three native headmen, Mohandiram, Arachchies, or Kankanis and 24 rank and file. Several 'ranchus' were |
7,670 | Stoneygate Conservation Area Society | The Stoneygate Conservation Area Society (SCAS) is a voluntary organisation based in Stoneygate, Leicester, England. The Society was created in 1978 and exists to raise awareness of the Stoneygate Conservation Area, highlight its history and heritage and publicize proposed changes that may affect it in future. The conservation area is covered by an Article 4 Direction (planning consent is required for changes to front windows, doors and boundaries) and many of its trees are covered by Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs). We also offer informal advice to residents on what this means for them. The Society has a formal constitution, a chair elected by committee and a committee (currently seven) elected by the membership. Membership (currently at an all-time high of 237 households) is open to families, couples and individuals at the same rate. The Society publishes a newsletter three times a year, has its own website from which back issues of the newsletter may be downloaded and is now active on social media, recently attracting its 1,000th Twitter follower. It actively co-operates with other like-minded organisations such as the Leicester Civic Society, the Knighton Neighbourhood Forum, the Friends of Clarendon Park and the Leicester branch of the Victorian Society and is a member of the Leicester Heritage Partnership, formed in June 2011 by new City Mayor Sir Peter Soulsby to `promote the preservation, use and interpretation of the city's historic built environment' and `engage the enthusiasm and expertise' of local groups who have an active interest in Leicester's history and heritage buildings. The Society's Annual General Meeting (usually held locally in May and advertised in advance on the website) provides a regular opportunity for all members to chat with the committee over tea and biscuits and to review the previous year's achievements. Formal proceedings are usually followed by talks or presentations by visiting speakers on conservation- or heritage-related topics. The AGM is an open meeting and all are welcome.

7,671 | Structural geology | Structural geology is the study of the three-dimensional distribution of rock units with respect to their deformational histories. The primary goal of structural geology is to use measurements of present-day rock geometries to uncover information about the history of deformation (strain) in the rocks, and ultimately, to understand the stress field that resulted in the observed strain and geometries. This understanding of the dynamics of the stress field can be linked to important events in the geologic past; a common goal is to understand the structural evolution of a particular area with respect to regionally widespread patterns of rock deformation (e.g., mountain building, rifting) due to plate tectonics. Use and importance The study of geologic structures has been of prime importance in economic geology, both petroleum geology and mining geology. Folded and faulted rock strata commonly form traps that accumulate and concentrate fluids such as petroleum and natural gas. Similarly, faulted and structurally complex areas are notable as permeable zones for hydrothermal fluids, resulting in concentrated areas of base and precious metal ore deposits. Veins of minerals containing various metals commonly occupy faults and fractures in structurally complex areas. These structurally fractured and faulted zones often occur in association with intrusive igneous rocks. They often also occur around geologic reef complexes and collapse features such as ancient sinkholes. Deposits of gold, silver, copper, lead, zinc, and other metals, are commonly located in structurally complex areas. Structural geology is a critical part of engineering geology, which is concerned with the physical and mechanical properties of natural rocks. Structural fabrics and defects such as faults, folds, foliations and joints are internal weaknesses of rocks which may affect the stability of human engineered structures such as dams, road cuts, open pit mines and underground mines or road tunnels. Geotechnical risk, including earthquake risk can only be investigated by inspecting a combination of structural geology and geomorphology. In addition, areas of karst landscapes which reside atop caverns, potential sinkholes, or other collapse features are of particular importance for these scientists. In addition, areas of steep slopes are potential collapse or landslide hazards. Environmental geologists and hydrogeologists need to apply the tenets of structural geology to understand how geologic sites impact (or are impacted by) groundwater flow and penetration. For instance, a hydrogeologist may need to determine if seepage of toxic substances from waste dumps is occurring in a residential area or if salty water is seeping into an aquifer. Plate tectonics is a theory developed during the 1960s which describes the movement of continents by way of the separation and collision of crustal plates. It is in a sense structural geology on a planet scale, and is used throughout structural geology as a framework to analyze and understand global, regional, and local scale features. Methods Structural geologists use a variety of methods to (first) measure rock geometries, (second) reconstruct their deformational histories, and (third) estimate the stress field that resulted in that deformation. Geometries Primary data sets for structural geology are collected in the field. Structural geologists measure a variety of planar features (bedding planes, foliation |

By the time Dunker built his last camera in 1961 such annual school photography had become routine in high schools throughout the U.S. Biography Vincent was born on December 6, 1878 in Highland, Missouri, to Mary Rosella Guyot who had immigrated from France to the United States. Vincent's father was Henry Dunker Jr. who had been born in Germany. Vincent was baptized at the St. Boniface Church in Perrville, Missouri where his parents resided. After finishing high school, Vincent worked as a blacksmith and carpenter. He then studied photography, obtaining a master's degree from the Illinois College of Photography in Effingham, Illinois. In the late 1890s Vincent moved to Ste. Genevieve, Missouri, and opened a photography studio. He soon became well known as outstanding in portrait photography and photographer of historical buildings. In addition to operating a portrait studio, Vincent took many photos of the city of Ste. Genevieve and in 1900 published a small booklet of photos titled ‘’Souvenir Letter, Ste. Genevieve, Mo.’’ On Oct 28, 1902, Vincent married Ottie May Boyer, also of Ste. Genevieve. On April 8, 1911, Vincent opened a new studio at 203 Broadway in the Grissom (Calhoon) building in Cape Girardeau, Missouri. On April 19, 191l, Vincent's wife Ottie arrived from Ste. Genevieve with their daughter Majella and they moved into a home on North Fountain Street in Cape Girardeau. In 1937, Vincent leased his photography studio in order to devote his time fully to the construction of cameras. In 1955, Vincent sold his studio portrait business to Betty Schwent Donze of Ste. Genevieve. After thirty-seven years of camera production at the age of 82, Vincent built his last camera in 1961, a 70 mm model made for his friend Clem Donze of Ste. Genvieve. Vincent Dunker died in 1974 at the age of 96 in Ste. Genevieve. He was buried with his wife Otte in the Valle Spring Cemetery, Ste. Genevieve, Missouri. VE-JA-DE Cameras In 1924, Vincent built his first 35 mm long-roll camera which he intended to use for taking school pictures, but another photographer bought the camera from him for $100 (about $1,300 in 2012 dollars). He made a second camera, but quickly sold it also. As a result, he dropped the idea of becoming a school photographer and instead began building cameras for sale under the name VE-JA-DE Products (from his initials, V.J.D.). They are the first documented mass-produced cameras specifically designed for school photography, starting a trend that has spread to high schools throughout the U.S. Vincent hand built all his cameras from walnut that he selected himself.

7,675 | Bicentennial Park South | Bicentennial Park South is a football (soccer) stadium in Rockdale, a suburb of Sydney in New South Wales, Australia. Redevelopment of the venue started in October 2008, and finished in September 2009 to become the new home of New South Wales Premier League team, the Rockdale City Suns. History Bicentennial Park was opened in 1988. The football ground was opened to the general public as an idle soccer pitch. The ground was used as a local training ground for football, rugby league and athletics while holding matches by a local soccer team, the Monterey Stingrays. In 2006, redevelopment plans were announced, relocating many sporting teams to Bicentennial Park and Scarborough Park grounds. The Rockdale Ilinden Football Club is a 21-year tenant of the new ground. Re-Development Development work begun on Bicentennial Park South in October 2008 as part of the Bicentennial and Scarborough Park Upgrade, including surface reconstruction for buildings to house change rooms and training rooms on the western hill and extended car park spaces. Stage 2 involves the installation of additional floodlights and a new grandstand seating area. The Rockdale Ilinden Football Club had originally announced the completion of the upgrade to be by March 2009 in time for the 2009 NSW Super League season, however various issues caused delays in the completion of the venue. The stadium was eventually completed in September 2009 and was opened during the month of December, where the first football match was played with the home team Rockdale clashing with Preston Lions FC on 12 December. The first official NSW Premier League match was contested during the second round of the 2010 NSW Premier League season against fellow competition rivals Bankstown City Lions with Rockdale prevailing 1-0. Gallery Bicentennial Park East Bicentennial Park East is a nearby park consisting of 3 football surfaces specifically designed for the use of junior football players. The development consisted of two large soccer fields and one small field. Cricket pitches have also be constructed in the centre of the two large fields for use in summer. Bicentennial Park East is accessible to the north and south via a footbridge, connecting senior and junior playing fields along with the main car parks. Geographically, Bicentennial Park East is located on the border of three suburbs, Monterey, Rockdale and Brighton-Le-Sands, but is officially in Brighton-Le-sands according to the Geographical Names Board of New South Wales.

7,679 | Rufous nightjar | The rufous nightjar (Antrostomus rufus) is a species of nightjar in the family Caprimulgidae. It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Saint Lucia, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago, and Venezuela. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forest, subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest, and heavily degraded former forest. Taxonomy The rufous nightjar was described by the French polymath Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon in 1780 in his Histoire Naturelle des Oiseaux. The bird was also illustrated in a hand-coloured plate engraved by François-Nicolas Martinet in the Planches Enluminées D'Histoire Naturelle which was produced under the supervision of Edme-Louis Daubenton to accompany Buffon's text. Neither the plate caption nor Buffon's description included a scientific name but in 1783 the Dutch naturalist Pieter Boddaert coined the binomial name Caprimulgas rufus in his catalogue of the Planches Enluminées. The rufous nightjar is now placed in the genus Antrostomus that was erected by the French naturalist Charles Bonaparte in 1838. The generic name combines the Ancient Greek antron meaning "cavern" and stoma meaning "mouth". The specific epithet is Latin for "red". Four subspecies are recognised: A. r. minimus (Griscom & Greenway, 1937) – south Costa Rica to Colombia and Venezuela A. r. rufus (Boddaert, 1783) – south Venezuela, the Guianas and north Brazil A. r. otiosus Bangs, 1911 – St. Lucia (Lesser Antilles) A. r. rutilus Burmeister, 1856 – south Brazil and east Bolivia to north Argentina References rufous nightjar Category:Birds of the Peruvian Amazon Category:Birds of the Bolivian Amazon Category:Birds of the Amazon Basin Category:Birds of the Atlantic Forest rufous nightjar Category:Taxonomy articles created by Polbot |
7,680 | FLiNaK | FLiNaK is the name of the ternary eutectic alkaline metal fluoride salt mixture LiF-NaF-KF (46.5-11.5-42 mol %). It has a melting point of 454 °C and a boiling point of 1570 °C. It is used as electrolyte for the electroplating of refractory metals and compounds like titanium, tantalum, hafnium, zirconium and their borides. FLiNaK also could see potential use as a coolant in the very high temperature reactor, a type of nuclear reactor. Coolant FLiNaK salt was researched heavily during the late 1950s by Oak Ridge National Laboratory as potential candidate for a coolant in the molten salt reactor because of its low melting point, its high heat capacity, and its chemical stability at high temperatures. Ultimately, its sister salt, FLiBe, was chosen as the solvent salt for the molten salt reactor due to a more desirable nuclear cross section. FLiNaK still gathers interest as an intermediate coolant for a high-temperature molten salt reactor where it could transfer heat without being in the presence of the fuel. Chemistry Fluoride salts, like all salts, cause corrosion in most metals and alloys. FliNak is different from FLiBe in the sense that is a basic melt—or it has an excess of fluorine ions. As FLiNak melts, all three components are alkali fluorides and therefore disassociate into positive and negative ions. The concentration of molten fluorine ions are able to corrode any metallic structures if it is energetically favorable. This is in contrast to FLiBe, which in a 66-34 mol% mixture will be a chemically neutral mix, as fluorine ions from LiF are donated to BeF2 to create the tetrafluoroberyllate ion BeF42−.

7,684 | European rabbit | The European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) or coney is a species of rabbit native to southwestern Europe (including Spain, Portugal and western France) and to northwest Africa (including Morocco and Algeria). It has been widely introduced elsewhere, often with devastating effects on local biodiversity. However, its decline in its native range (caused by the diseases myxomatosis and rabbit calicivirus, as well as overhunting and habitat loss), has caused the decline of its highly dependent predators, the Iberian lynx and the Spanish imperial eagle. It is known as an invasive species because it has been introduced to countries on all continents with the exception of Antarctica, and has caused many problems within the environment and ecosystems. Feral European rabbits in Australia have had a devastating impact, due in part to the lack of natural predators there. The European rabbit is well known for digging networks of burrows, called warrens, where it spends most of its time when not feeding. Unlike the related hares (Lepus spp.), rabbits are altricial, the young being born blind and furless, in a fur-lined nest in the warren, and they are totally dependent upon their mother. Much of the modern research into wild rabbit behaviour was carried out in the 1960s by two research centres. One was the naturalist Ronald Lockley, who maintained a number of large enclosures for wild rabbit colonies, with observation facilities, in Orielton, Pembrokeshire. Apart from publishing a number of scientific papers, he popularised his findings in a book The Private Life of the Rabbit, which is credited by Richard Adams as having played a key role in his gaining "a knowledge of rabbits and their ways" that informed his novel Watership Down. The other group was the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) in Australia, where numerous studies of the social behavior of wild rabbits were performed. Since the onset of myxomatosis, and the decline of the significance of the rabbit as an agricultural pest, few large-scale studies have been performed and many aspects of rabbit behaviour are still poorly understood. Naming and etymology Because of its non-British origin, the species does not have native names in English or Celtic, with the usual terms "cony" and "rabbit" being foreign loanwords. "Rabbit" is also pronounced as rabbidge, rabbert (North Devon) and rappit (Cheshire and Lancashire). More archaic pronunciations include rabbette (15th-16th centuries), rabet (15th-17th centuries), rabbet (16th-18th centuries), rabatte (16th century), rabytt (17th century) and rabit (18th century). The root word is the Walloon rabett, which was once commonly used in Liège. Rabett itself is derived from the Middle Dutch robbe, with the addition of the suffix -ett. The term "cony" or "coney" predates "rabbit", and first occurred during the 13th century to refer to the animal's pelt. Later, "cony" referred to the adult animal, while "rabbit" referred to the young. The root of "cony" is the old French connil or counil, of which the Norman plural was coniz, and later conis. Its forerunner is the Greek κύνικλος, from which the Latin cuniculus is derived. The origin of κύνικλος itself is unclear: Ælian, who lived |

7,687 | Brigitte Barèges | Brigitte Barèges (born 1 May 1953 in Toulouse) is a member of the National Assembly of France. She represents the Tarn-et-Garonne department, The Republicans. She is mayor of Montauban since March 2001. She was reelected for a second term on 16 March 2008, then for a third term on 30 March 2014. Barèges sparked a controversy when she voiced brusque opposition to proposals for legalized same-sex marriage: "Why not let people marry animals, too?" Barèges sparked a controversy when she described a black person of her party as "humain stain". Barèges was punished by French courts because she refused to celebrate the wedding of a foreign couple. On 17 February 2014, the prosecutor announces that it will conduct an investigation for embezzlement of public funds. Despite this challenge on the judicial front, on 30 March 2014, Barèges won the municipal elections in Montauban for a third term. During the summer of 2014, CNCCFP rejects the accounts for the municipal elections. On 21 October 2014, following the rejection of her campaign accounts, Barèges was condemned to one year of ineligibility and non-reimbursement of campaign expenses by the Administrative Court of Toulouse. The court mentioned the use of municipality funds to fund an illegal advertising campaign during the election.

7,688 | La Liga Wrestling | La Liga Wrestling (formerly World Wrestling League or Liga Mundial de Lucha), is a wrestling promotion company based out of San Juan, Puerto Rico. Founded in 2012 by businessman Richard Negrín with the cooperation of established wrestling figures such as Hugo Savinovich, the company developed a global scope, establishing alliances with over a dozen international promotions and holding shows throughout the Americas. In line with the traditional model of professional wrestling, LLW's shows do not feature legitimate sporting contests. Instead, its programs feature storyline-driven combat sport matches with predetermined outcomes and acrobatic and grappling maneuvers that are worked, which are publicly promoted as legitimate bouts to accentuate the entertainment. Under its first administration the promotion featured a similar business model to other companies targeting a global audience, including a system of income that relies on licensed merchandise and an intricate developmental system employed to nurture its main roster. However, unlike the brand and contract based approach of promotions like World Wrestling Entertainment, WWL focused on the organization of cooperative events, allowing the free flow of its talents to associated companies in a system that served as a Latin American counterpart to the North American National Wrestling Alliance. After being acquired by Savio Vega in July 2016, the promotion shifted its focus to developing novel wrestlers, an approach that was continued by subsequent administrations. In January 2020, the format was changed with a rebrand, the introduction of an episodic format and the acquisition of an arena. The company also returned to its original target of promoting abroad, this time using FITE TV as a platform to reach other Hispanic markets. History Negrín administration Presided by Richard Negrin, produced by Hugo Savinovich and Danny Nieves Gerena as their Director of talents relations the World Wrestling League was founded in late 2012 and began its media exposition, with Josian Omed Vázquez Díaz as promotion's press manager, on January 21, 2013. The promotion was officially launched in a press conference held at the Water Club hotel in San Juan. In this event, WWL announced the signing of several high-profile Puerto Rican wrestlers, including former champions of the International Wrestling Association and World Wrestling Council Eric Pérez, Roberto Rubio and José "Monster Pain" Torres. The company also presented its business plan, noting that it intended to have an international scope instead of directly competing with other promotions in Puerto Rico. A series of alliances were made with several international promotions including Wrestling Alliance Revolution (WAR) in Ecuador, Leader Wrestling Assotiation (LWE) in Peru, Dominican Wrestling Entertainment (DWE) in the Dominican Republic and Total Nonstop Action Wrestling in the United States. During the following months, the promotion focused on creating its final roster and production team, which saw the exclusion of Víctor Siebens, owner of the Puerto Rico Wrestling Association, who had served as producer during the first months and the inclusion of Danny Nieves Gerena who was the promoter of NWA Chicago to fill the role. In February, two of the IWA's and WWC's main producers in the past, Héctor Moyano, Sr. and his eponymous son joined |

On July 24, 1972, it was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. The house was begun in 1856 and completed in 1860 by Peres Bonney Brokaw who had moved to Florida from New Jersey in 1850. His daughter eventually inherited the house; the reference to McDougall in the house's name comes from that daughter's married name. The house was sold to Florida in 1973 and is used as the offices of the Historic Tallahassee Preservation Board.
