Pērkonkrusts (Latvian pronunciation: [ˈpeːr.kon.krusts], \"Thunder Cross\"), was a Latvian ultra-nationalist, anti-German and antisemitic political party founded in 1933 by Gustavs Celmiņš, borrowing elements of German nationalism—but being unsympathetic to German National Socialism at the time—and Italian fascism. It was outlawed in 1934, its leadership arrested, and Celmiņš eventually exiled in 1937. Still-imprisoned members were persecuted under the first Soviet occupation; some collaborated with subsequently invading Nazi Germany forces in perpetrating the Holocaust. Pērkonkrusts continued to exist in some form until 1944, when Celmiņš, who had initially returned to work in the occupying German administration, was imprisoned. Following the restoration of Latvia's independence in 1991, a new radical nationalist movement, also called Pērkonkrusts, was formed in 1995. The organization espouses many of the same values as its predecessor. Members have participated in efforts to bomb the Monument to the Liberators of Soviet Latvia and Riga from the German Fascist Invaders several times, leading to the arrest, trial and imprisonment of many of its members. | Organisation |

Grand Chord one of the two parts of the main Delhi-Howrah route. It acts as a link between Sitarampur, (West Bengal) and Mughal Sarai, Uttar Pradesh, and covers a stretch of 450 km. It is a fully electrified, triple line section from Mughalsarai to Dehri-on-sone and double line section from Dehri-on-sone to Asansol. The Grand chord section is the lifeline of the country on which Coal, Steel and other important goods are moved from Eastern section to Western and Northern sections of the country. In the down direction, the traffic consists of mostly food grains, fertilizers and empty wagons for coal loading in the Bihar and West Bengal coal fields. Mughalsarai is a transit division and the main objective is to maintain mobility of high density traffic. The present capacity of the Grand Chord is being optimally utilized. Traversing through Chhota Nagpur plateau of Jharkhand as well as parts of the fertile Gangetic plains of Bihar, the Grand Chord covers a stretch of 450 km. The railways first came to eastern India in 1854, and the Calcutta–Delhi railway link, with a distance of more than 1636 km, became operational by 1866. With the increase in traffic it became necessary to construct an alternative route. With this in view, The Grand Chord section was planned. The Grand Chord section was opened in December, 1906 by Lord Minto, then Viceroy and Governor General of India with a function at Gujahandi. With the opening of the Grand Chord route, the distance between Calcutta and Delhi was reduced by 80 km. The cost of construction was around Rs. 41,500,000. The Grand Chord section is critically important even today, handling major passenger trains on the Howrah-Delhi route, particularly all the Rajdhani Expresses from Howrah, Bhubaneswar and Ranchi and the entire freight traffic, particularly coal, handled by the Dhanbad division of East Central Railway. | Route Of Transportation |

Trachylepis is a skink genus in the subfamily Lygosominae found mainly in Africa. Its members were formerly included in the \"wastebin taxon\" Mabuya, and for some time in Euprepis. As defined today, Trachylepis contains the clade of Afro-Malagasy mabuyas. The genus also contains a species from the Brazilian island of Fernando de Noronha, T. atlantica, and may occur in mainland South America with Trachylepis tschudii and Trachylepis maculata, both poorly known and enigmatic. The ancestors of T. atlantica are believed to have rafted across the Atlantic from Africa during the last 9 million years. The generic name Trachylepis literally means \"rough-scaled\", referring to the fact that most of the species, though superficially smooth-scaled, have three or more slight longitudinal keels on their dorelascales. | Animal |

In Greek mythology, the Propoetides (Greek: Προποιτίδες) are the daughters of Propoetus from the city of Amathus on the island of Cyprus. In Roman literature, they are treated by Ovid in his Metamorphoses (book 10.238 ff.): Nevertheless, the immoral Propoetides dared to deny that Venus was the goddess. For this, because of her divine anger, they are said to have been the first to prostitute their bodies and their reputations in public, and, losing all sense of shame, they lost the power to blush, as the blood hardened in their cheeks, and only a small change turned them into hard flints. The story of Venus and her vengeance on the Propoetides for failing to worship her properly is a common theme in a number of stories and poems written about the goddess. According to Ovid, after seeing the Propoetides prostituting themselves, Pygmalion determined that he was \"not interested in women\". This drove him to create a woman of his own in statue form, with whom he then fell in love. | Fictional Character |

The Santa Cruz Mountains, part of the Pacific Coast Ranges, are a mountain range in central California, United States. They form a ridge along the San Francisco Peninsula, south of San Francisco, separating the Pacific Ocean from San Francisco Bay and the Santa Clara Valley, and continuing south, bordering Monterey Bay and ending at the Salinas Valley. The range passes through San Mateo, Santa Clara and Santa Cruz counties, with the Pajaro River forming the southern boundary. The northernmost portion of the Santa Cruz Mountains is known as Montara Mountain, north of Half Moon Bay Road (California State Route 92); the middle portion is known as the Sierra Morena, which includes a summit called Sierra Morena, and extends south to a gap at Lexington Reservoir; south of the gap the mountain range is known as the Sierra Azul. The highest point in the range is Loma Prieta Peak 3,786 feet (1,154 m), near which is the epicenter of the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. Other major peaks include Mount Umunhum 3,486 feet (1,063 m), Mount Bielawski 3,231 feet (985 m), El Sombroso 2,999 feet (914 m), Eagle Rock 2,488 feet (758 m), Black Mountain 2,800 feet (850 m), and Sierra Morena 2,417 feet (737 m). The San Andreas Fault runs along or near the ridge line throughout the range. The east side of the mountains drops abruptly towards this fault line especially near Woodside and Saratoga. For much of the length of the range on the San Francisco Peninsula, State Route 35 runs along its ridge, and is known as \"Skyline Boulevard\". The major routes across the mountains are (from north to south) SR 92 from Half Moon Bay to San Mateo, SR 84 from San Gregorio to Redwood City, SR 9 from Santa Cruz to Saratoga, SR 17 from Santa Cruz to Los Gatos, SR 152 from Watsonville to Gilroy, SR 129 from Watsonville to San Juan Bautista, and US Highway 101 from Salinas to Gilroy. The Santa Cruz Mountains have been a legally defined American Viticultural Area since 1981. Wine has been produced here since at least the 1840s. The Santa Cruz Mountain AVA has emerged as premier producer of top wines, recognized in the historic Judgment of Paris on May 26, 1976.There are over 30 wineries located in this area. | Natural Place |

The fire salamander (Salamandra salamandra) is possibly the best-known salamander species in Europe. It is black with yellow spots or stripes to a varying degree; some specimens can be nearly completely black while on others the yellow is dominant. Shades of red and orange may sometimes appear, either replacing or mixing with the yellow according to subspecies. Fire salamanders can have a very long lifespan; one specimen lived for more than 50 years in Museum Koenig, a German natural history museum. Fire salamanders live in central European forests and are more common in hilly areas. They prefer deciduous forests, since they like to hide in fallen leaves and around mossy tree trunks. They need small brooks or ponds with clean water in their habitat for the development of the larvae. Whether on land or in water, fire salamanders are inconspicuous. They spend much of their time hidden under wood or other objects. They are active in the evening and the night, but on rainy days they are active in daytime as well. The diet of the fire salamander consists of various insects, spiders, earthworms and slugs, but they also occasionally eat newts and young frogs. In captivity, they eat crickets, mealworms, waxworms and silkworm larvae. Small prey will be caught within the range of the vomerine teeth or by the posterior half of the tongue, to which the prey adheres. It weighs about 40 grams. The fire salamander can grow to be 15–25 centimetres (5.9–9.8 in) long. | Animal |

CKVM-FM is a French-language Canadian radio station located in Ville-Marie, Quebec. Owned and operated by Radio Témiscamingue (a non-profit organization), it broadcasts on 93.1 MHz with an effective radiated power of 18,400 watts and a peak effective radiated power of 34,000 watts (class B) using an omnidirectional antenna. The station has an adult contemporary music format. The station operates a small relay, CKVM-FM-1 in Témiscaming, which broadcasts on 92.1 MHz with an effective radiated power of 10 watts (class LP) using an omnidirectional antenna. Previously known as CKVM when the station was on the AM band on 710 kHz, the station moved to FM in 2004. The station went on the air on January 7, 1950 on 710 kHz, originally using 1,000 watts full-time (and using a directional antenna at night). Daytime power was increased from 1,000 watts to 10,000 watts in August 1961. In 1968, CKVM opened up an AM radio station at Témiscaming, Québec on 1340 kHz as CKVT. In 1988, CKVT was authorized to move to FM at 92.1 MHz, until it went dark in 1992, when it was replaced by the current CKVM-FM-1. CKVM was widely known for failing to follow its nighttime technical parameters by operating at night with 10,000 watts omnidirectional, therefore causing interference to American clear channel station WOR in New York City. The station admitted this situation during a Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) public hearing in 2001. Part of the problem was that CKVM lost two of its three towers at some point during the 1990s and was unable to replace them. The station's move to FM was done in large part to solve these technical problems. The station was an affiliate of Radio-Canada's Première Chaîne from August 1953 until 2002. CKVM was one of the last private affiliate radio stations to disaffiliate from Radio-Canada. | Broadcaster |

The Naedyceras group comprises three similar and closely related openly coiled, gyroconic, genera within oncocerid family, Brevicoceratidae: Naedyceras, Gonionaedyceras, and Gyronaedyceras. Naedyceras was named by Hyatt in 1884; Gonionaedyceras, and Gyronaedyceras by Flower in 1945. All three have open, gyroconic coiling, a subtriangular whorl section with a flattened dorsum. The siphuncle in each is ventral with flared out, cyrochoanitic septal necks and internal, longitudinal blade-like actinosiphonate deposits. All three come from the Middle Devonian of N Am, specifically New York, Ohio, and Wisconsin. Differences lie primarily in the symmetry of the whorl section and in the suture. Naedyceras is described as having a loosely coiled low-spired coiled dextral torticonoc. or trochoidal, shell with a flattened dorsum and subtriangular whorl section. The body chamber bulges slightly. The aperture in mature specimens is somewhat contracted. Sutures form slight lateral lobes, dorsal lobes, and broad ventral and umbilical saddles. Whorl section is symmetric. Gonionaedyceras' has a strongly curved cyrtoconic shell with an asymmetric subtriangular whorl section. The inside, or dorsal, curvature is obliquely flattened and sides converge onto a narrow, ventral, outside curvature that bears a rounded to angular ridge. Sutures have dorsal and lateral lobes and umbilical and ventral saddles. Umbilical saddles are sharper on the left than on the right. Ventral saddles are rounded. Gyronaedyceras has a compressed gyroconic shell of about two volutions with an assymmnetrical, subtraingular whorl section having a broadly rounded to subangular venter and flat dorsum. Sutures are essentially straight and transverse. Actinosphonate structures are discretely developed. Naedyceras, most especially, outwardly resembles Stereotoceras, which in contrast has a depressed, wider than high, cross section and a beaded, nummuloidal siphuncle. Oxygonioceras is another loosely coiled brevicoceratid but in which the dorsum rounded rather than flat. | Animal |

Pine Lake Middle School is a public middle school in Sammamish, Washington, a suburb east of Seattle. A part of the Issaquah School District, it serves students in grades 6–8 and is a feeder school to Skyline High School. The school opened 43 years ago in 1974 on the Sammamish Plateau as Pine Lake Junior High School, a feeder school to Issaquah High School. When Skyline opened in 1997, Pine Lake sent its graduates to both Issaquah and Skyline, and for five years (2005–10) through the Pacific Cascade Freshman Campus. When the two high schools added freshmen back to their campuses in the fall of 2010, PCFC was converted to Pacific Cascade Middle School, a feeder school for Issaquah High, and Pine Lake became a feeder to Skyline only (except in special circumstances). In 1999, Pine Lake was completely renovated. As of the 2012–13 school year, the school had an enrollment of 837 students and 36.2 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student-teacher ratio of 30.12. The school has an \"exceedingly high participation in Junior National Honor Society,\" according to the Issaquah School District Web site. In 2005, almost half of all Pine Lake students (425 out of 940) qualified for the honor society. The principal is Michelle Caponigro, and the assistant principal is Mike DeLetis. Pine Lake's mascot is Wally the Wolverine. | Educational Institution |
