The Holmes Run Trail is a partially paved trail that travels through parks northwest along Holmes Run from Cameron Run in Alexandria, Virginia to Annandale Road (Virginia State Route 649) in Fairfax County, Virginia. The trail travels near the sides of the stream with multiple bridges, some of which are only about a foot higher than the water. The trail consists of two sections that are separated by Lake Barcroft near Columbia Pike (Virginia State Route 244) in Fairfax County. | Holmes Run Trail | Holmes Run Trail | text | en | 2021-06-06T09:36:35 | 119 | 8,810,200 |
The Alexandria portion of the trail is 2.6 miles (4.2 km) in length and travels northwest in Alexandria from Eisenhower Avenue at Cameron Run, next to Cameron Run Regional Park, to the Alexandria/Fairfax County boundary near the end of North Chambliss Street. The Fairfax County portion of the trail travels northwest between that boundary and Columbia Pike and is 1.2 miles (1.9 km) in length. A bridge over the Run in Alexandria that is located a short distance southeast of the boundary and Fairfax County's Glen Hills Park connects these two portions of the trail, which together comprise the trail's entire 3.8-mile-long (6.1 km) southern section. The northern section of the trail is 1.2 miles (1.9 km) in length and located entirely in Fairfax County. It has an asphalt surface in some places and a stonedust surface in others. | Holmes Run Trail | Holmes Run Trail | text | en | 2021-06-06T09:36:35 | 207 | 8,810,201 |
The Holmes Run Trail was first envisioned as a trail along the Holmes Run stream valley in the 1970s as part of the Cameron Run Valley flood control project that built Cameron Run Regional Park. The first 1.5 miles of the trail were built, from Cameron Run to the west end of Dora Kelly Nature Park as part of the Cameron Run project in the early 1980s. Fairfax County began work in 2006 to extend the trail 1.5 miles in Fairfax County from Glen Hills Park to Columbia Pike. That work was completed in 2007, but the two sections didn't connect as they were separated by Holmes Run. In 2012, Alexandria built a trail underpass below Eisenhower Avenue to connect Holmes Run to the Eisenhower Avenue Trail. In 2013 Alexandria built a low water crossing from Glen Hills Park to Dora Kelly Nature Park in the area of Chambliss Street, connecting the two southern sections of the trail. In November 2018, a trail bridge across Holmes Run was built by Alexandria to replace a low water crossing at N. Ripley Street. | Holmes Run Trail | Holmes Run Trail > History | text | en | 2021-06-06T09:36:35 | 229 | 8,810,202 |
The trail section west of Lake Barcroft in Fairfax County was built prior to 2001. | Holmes Run Trail | Holmes Run Trail > History | text | en | 2021-06-06T09:36:35 | 25 | 8,810,203 |
The paved 3.8-mile-long (6.1 km) southern section of the Holmes Run Trail begins near Cameron Run Regional Park and the Great Waves Waterpark in southwestern Alexandria. The trail connects near its beginning to the west end of the Eisenhower Avenue Trail, which travels east between Eisenhower Avenue and the north side of Cameron Run to the Hoffman Town Center and the Eisenhower Avenue station on Washington Metro's Blue Line. | Holmes Run Trail | Holmes Run Trail > Trail route | text | en | 2021-06-06T09:36:35 | 106 | 8,810,204 |
An underpass beneath Eisenhower Avenue connects the Eisenhower Avenue and Holmes Run Trails. The Holmes Run Trail begins by traveling northwest from Eisenhower Avenue along the northeast side of Cameron Run, passing under the Blue Line and three railroad bridges that are separated by sections of Cameron Run Regional Park. The trail then enters the easternmost portion of Ben Brenman Park, where it passes the origin of Cameron Run at the confluence of Holmes Run and Backlick Run. | Holmes Run Trail | Holmes Run Trail > Trail route | text | en | 2021-06-06T09:36:35 | 123 | 8,810,205 |
The trail then travels northwest on the east side of Holmes Run within Ben Brenman Park, where it connects to a paved trail that crosses the Run. That trail travels west near the north side of Backlick Run through Ben Brenman Park and Cameron Station Linear Park to reach Armistead Boothe Park, which is adjacent to the Samuel W. Tucker Elementary School. After leaving its intersection with the Backlick Run trail, the Holmes Run Trail continues to travel northwest in Alexandria on the east side of the Run and passes under Duke Street. The trail then travels through Holmes Run Park, passing the Charles Beatley Bridge, which crosses the Run to connect the trail with North Pickett Street and Holmes Run Parkway. | Holmes Run Trail | Holmes Run Trail > Trail route | text | en | 2021-06-06T09:36:35 | 174 | 8,810,206 |
The trail continues northwest through Brookvalley Park, where it crosses the Run to the stream's west side. The trail then travels next to the Run under North Van Dorn Street and the Henry G. Shirley Memorial Highway (Interstate 395). The trail then crosses North Beauregard Street and returns to the east side of the Run. The trail then continues northwest through several wooded sections on the east side of the Run in Dora Kelley Nature Park until it reaches North Chambliss Street, where a bridge carries the trail over the Run to its west side. Shortly thereafter, the trail enters Fairfax County and travels through Glen Hills Park on the Run's west side. | Holmes Run Trail | Holmes Run Trail > Trail route | text | en | 2021-06-06T09:36:35 | 167 | 8,810,207 |
After leaving Glen Hills Park, the southern section of the trail continues northwest on the west side of the Run, passing to the east of the Parklawn Pool. The trail then crosses the Run five times in Holmes Run Stream Valley Park and Lillian Carey Park before it reaches its end on the east side of the Run. There the trail connects to the Columbia Pike Trail. The trail section meets at its terminus a trail that travels along the southeast side of Columbia Pike. | Holmes Run Trail | Holmes Run Trail > Trail route | text | en | 2021-06-06T09:36:35 | 119 | 8,810,208 |
Separated by Lake Barcroft from the longer southern section of the trail, the trail's 1.2-mile-long (1.9 km) northern section begins at the southeast side of a cul-de-sac at the north end of Sprucedale Drive, west of Sleepy Hollow Road (Virginia State Route 613) and south of Holmes Run. The trail initially travels east and then turns to travel north, crossing Holmes Run on a bridge to reach the Run's north side. The trail then travels northwest on the north side of the Run through Holmes Run Stream Valley Park. The trail terminates at the south end of Hockett Street, which travels north and connects the trail to the nearby Annandale Road (Virginia State Route 649). While portions of the northern section are paved, that section has a stone dust surface along most of its length. | Holmes Run Trail | Holmes Run Trail > Trail route | text | en | 2021-06-06T09:36:35 | 211 | 8,810,209 |
Users of the trail need to know the weather conditions before entering the trail. Holmes Run is part of the Cameron Run/Holmes Run Watershed, and is used to help channel flood waters toward Cameron Run and the Potomac River. Because the trail travels near the level of the water, during and after rainstorms various parts may be submerged, especially on the section of trail that goes underneath Interstate 395. | Holmes Run Trail | Holmes Run Trail > Flooding | text | en | 2021-06-06T09:36:35 | 101 | 8,810,210 |

Høllen is a village in Lindesnes municipality in Agder county, Norway. The village is located on the narrow isthmus connecting the Lindesnes peninsula to the mainland, about 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) west of the village of Svenevig. The 0.72-square-kilometre (180-acre) village has a population (2015) of 648, giving the village a population density of 900 inhabitants per square kilometre (2,300/sq mi). Høllen was the administrative centre of the old municipality of Spangereid which existed from 1889 until 1965. The village is also known as Spangereid since it was the centre of Spangereid for nearly a century and prior to that it was the seat of the parish of Spangereid since Spangereid Church is located in Høllen. | Høllen, Lindesnes | Høllen, Lindesnes | text | en | 2020-11-30T03:42:29 | 192 | 8,810,213 |
In 2007, the Spangereid Canal was completed through the centre of Høllen. The 0.93-kilometre (0.58 mi) long canal crosses the isthmus connecting the Lindesnes peninsula to the mainland. The canal connects the Lenesfjorden to the North Sea. The area is one of Norway's richest archaeological sites. The abundant remnants from the Bronze Age and Viking Age show the Spangereid was a very important place at that time. Today, the village is a popular tourist destination for Norwegians and Europeans alike. | Høllen, Lindesnes | Høllen, Lindesnes | text | en | 2020-11-30T03:42:29 | 134 | 8,810,214 |

August Walla (1936–2001) was an Austrian outsider artist. | August Walla | August Walla | text | en | 2022-08-23T11:11:11 | 21 | 8,810,219 |
Walla grew up as an only child with his mother and grandmother. His mother dressed and educated him as a girl, to prevent him from becoming a soldier. Walla later declared that he had been a "Nazi girl" who had been re-operated during the Soviet occupation into a "communist twin". In his works, female figures are often marked with a swastika, while male figures are marked with a hammer and a sickle. Until the age of 9, he showed normal development and attended a special school. After that, no teaching or job could be found for him. At age 16, he first entered in-patient psychiatric treatment, where he remained until age 20. He returned to psychiatry at age 36 when his mother fell ill. | August Walla | August Walla > Career | text | en | 2022-08-23T11:11:11 | 181 | 8,810,220 |
Walla worked as a draftsman, painter and photographer. In his art, he captured his surroundings by painting invented and existing symbols as well as godlike creatures on objects (even on houses or trees). Figures and symbols can be found in all his works. He created a complete artistic cosmos. August Walla lived in the House of Artists in Maria Gugging since 1983 and was one of the most versatile artists of the so-called "Art Brut". The well-known German punk band EA80 refers to Walla's work in the piece Gugging of their 1992 album "Schauspiele". | August Walla | August Walla > Career | text | en | 2022-08-23T11:11:11 | 150 | 8,810,221 |
In 2008, "The Gugging Album" by the electronic musicians Hans-Joachim Roedelius and Kava Fabrique Records was a musical homage to August Walla and other renowned artists from Gugging, which were world premiered as part of the new art and music festival "Gugging Irritationen". In the fall of 2012, the Viennese label Fabrique Records released an audio book in collaboration with Peter Turrini and with selected texts and letters from Walla. Walla featured as a character in Philipp Weiss's 2013 play Ein schöner Hase ist meistens der Einzellne. | August Walla | August Walla > Career | text | en | 2022-08-23T11:11:11 | 136 | 8,810,222 |

The Qasba–Aligarh massacre was an ethnic massacre that took place when recently settled armed tribal Pashtuns from KPK, Pakistan and Afghanistan attacked densely populated civilized locals in Qasba Colony, Aligarh Colony and Sector 1-D of Orangi in Karachi in the early hours of the morning on 14 December 1986. According to official reports, around 49 people (400+ according to unofficial reports) were killed and several hundred were injured in what was perceived as a "revenge killing" by newly settled armed Pashtuns following an unsuccessful raid on a Pashtun heroin processing and distribution center in Sohrab Goth by the security forces. Most of the residents of the two colonies happened to be Muhajirs like Biharis who had been freshly repatriated from Bangladesh. | Qasba Aligarh massacre | Qasba Aligarh massacre | text | en | 2023-07-11T07:47:15 | 191 | 8,810,231 |
The locality is situated within limits of Karachi city and consists of middle class Muhajir families. During planned development of the city in the 1960s and 70s it was constructed by the government as colony for journalists where amenity plots were handed out to the residents. Due to the distance from the city most allottees sold their plots moving themselves to central areas. The place was thereon heavily dominated by the muhajir community. | Qasba Aligarh massacre | Qasba Aligarh massacre | text | en | 2023-07-11T07:47:15 | 107 | 8,810,232 |
From the time of Pakistan's independence in 1947 and up until 1961, the population of Karachi grew by 432 percent – a growth rate that "no other city anywhere else in the world [had] ever experienced". People migrating from India, commonly known as Muhajir could not be accommodated into the city properly and a vast majority of them were settled in informal housing settlements known as "kachi bastis". Resettlement of the Muhajirs could not effectively catch up with the growth of Karachi's kachi bastis as further more in-migrants arrived into the city from Punjab, Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. | Qasba Aligarh massacre | Qasba Aligarh massacre > Background | text | en | 2023-07-11T07:47:15 | 151 | 8,810,233 |
By the late 1960s, these informal settlements had taken up two forms: unorganized settlements, where the squatters illegally occupied public or private owned land, and, illegal subdivisions, where peripheral land was developed and sold "by 'independent' private persons who lacked the property rights" over it. These informal entrepreneurs came to be known as dallals (patrons) and enjoyed a close connections with the police officers, politicians and bureaucrats, connections that offered them "a certain degree of security against illegal eviction of [other] basti dwellers". | Qasba Aligarh massacre | Qasba Aligarh massacre > Background | text | en | 2023-07-11T07:47:15 | 151 | 8,810,234 |
During the Soviet–Afghan War in the late 1970s and early 1980s, millions of Afghan refugees had made their way into Pakistan. An estimated population of about 6 million refugees were welcomed with open arms into Pakistan as part of General Zia-ul-Haq's Islamization programme. These refugees gradually settled in populated urban centers throughout the country, including southern cities of Hyderabad and Karachi. Many of the Afghan refugees that made their way into Karachi settled in bastis at the outskirts of the city, which included areas like Sohrab Goth. | Qasba Aligarh massacre | Qasba Aligarh massacre > Afghan Refugees influx and the Kalashnikov culture | text | en | 2023-07-11T07:47:15 | 148 | 8,810,235 |
The magnitude of refugees migrating into Pakistan had a huge socio-economic impact on the country's society, promoting wide availability of illegal narcotic drugs like heroin, and automatic firearms like the AK-47 rifles. Where Pakistan had previously been drug-free and largely deweaponised, the country soon became flooded with automatic weapons along with the population of drug users shooting up to over a million in the early 1980s which came into sharp conflict with the general populace of Karachi. The sudden proliferation of firearms has since been dubbed as the "Kalashnikov culture". | Qasba Aligarh massacre | Qasba Aligarh massacre > Afghan Refugees influx and the Kalashnikov culture | text | en | 2023-07-11T07:47:15 | 154 | 8,810,236 |
This influx of Afghan refugees gave rise to informal Pashtun entrepreneurs who joined in Karachi’s informal housing market. Many of the Pashtuns landed jobs as policemen and started investing in real estate while several drug and arms barons also made their way into Karachi's ethnic and political stage as a result of this influx. Every one lived side by side until the influx of Pashtuns who started stirring ethnic fault lines. | Qasba Aligarh massacre | Qasba Aligarh massacre > Changing housing market | text | en | 2023-07-11T07:47:15 | 115 | 8,810,237 |
As the Punjabi and Muhajir influence grew weak in Karachi's informal housing market, the Pashtun entrepreneurs imposed greater control over the land. Pashtun gunmen would seize land by force, Pashtun real estate developers would develop on plots and rent out to tenants who could be evicted at will. Thus coercion and violence became a common modus vivendi of the afghans. Of the few areas in Karachi where the Pashtuns were met with fierce resistance, Orangi was the largest squatter settlement in Karachi with a population of around one million. Orangi was an ethnically diverse settlement where Muhajirs and Pashtuns each constituted 25% of the population and the remainder was a mixture of Punjabis, Sindhis, Baloch, Bengalis. | Qasba Aligarh massacre | Qasba Aligarh massacre > Changing housing market | text | en | 2023-07-11T07:47:15 | 193 | 8,810,238 |
The urban centres of Karachi and Hyderabad had increasingly become ethnically diverse and riots along ethnic lines were commonplace. The brimming ethnic conflict evolved into territorial demarcation on ethnic grounds, with power being accumulated into the hands of local criminal elements, particularly in and around areas of Orangi. In April 1985, Karachi faced its first major ethnic riot that claimed the lives of at least a hundred people. The riot mobilised Muhajir and Bihari basti dwellers against Pashtun gunmen who had tried to extend their influence to those neighborhoods. The main battlefield was situated between Banaras Chowk and the Metro Cinema in Orangi, an area adjacent to newly settled Pashtun strongholds. | Qasba Aligarh massacre | Qasba Aligarh massacre > Karachi's growing ethnic strife | text | en | 2023-07-11T07:47:15 | 188 | 8,810,239 |
Later on the morning of 15 April 1985, another Pashtun-Muhajir ethnic clash broke out when an Afghan minivan driver struck and killed a schoolgirl, Bushra Zaidi. The Pashtun driver had been eager to outrun a competitor without respecting a traffic light, hitting a vehicle and then running into a group of students of Sir Syed Government Girls College in Liaquatabad. In the hours immediately following the incident, a mob of angry young students organised a protest demonstration which was brutally repressed by the police on the orders of Pakistan Army. Tensions between the Pashtun and Muhajir populations grew to a boiling point after the incident. | Qasba Aligarh massacre | Qasba Aligarh massacre > Karachi's growing ethnic strife | text | en | 2023-07-11T07:47:15 | 168 | 8,810,240 |
The police were later accused of molesting and raping young female students after officers entered the Sir Syed College. The alleged police brutality later fueled the anger of Muhajirs and violence erupted throughout the city all the way from Liaquatabad in the east to Orangi to the west. Eager to provoke the police, the young students set buses and minivans on fire and were inevitably met with harsh responses. | Qasba Aligarh massacre | Qasba Aligarh massacre > Karachi's growing ethnic strife | text | en | 2023-07-11T07:47:15 | 117 | 8,810,241 |
As complaints came flooding in about the increase in crime rates throughout Karachi, particularly those fueled by ethnic conflicts, newspapers began highlighting the issue in their headlines and the government of Sindh found the need for a crackdown on the various criminal elements within the afghan refugees settlements in the city. On 12 December 1986, the Sindh governor Lt Gen Jahan Dad Khan ordered a police operation in the vicinity of Sohrab Goth in Karachi. Guised as an anti-encroachment operation, a team was assembled under DC Sardar Ahmed, DIG Karachi, IGP Sindh and Corps Commander Karachi Lt Gen Ahmad Shamim Khan to root out and arrest criminal elements. They were also asked to relocate the illegal encroachers from Al-Asif Square in Sohrab Goth to a new site near the National Highway. | Qasba Aligarh massacre | Qasba Aligarh massacre > Police crackdown in Sohrab Goth | text | en | 2023-07-11T07:47:15 | 203 | 8,810,242 |
The police had wanted to raid a Pashtun heroin processing and distribution centre in Sohrab Goth. However, when they approached the neighborhood, they were met with violent retaliation. As part of the operation, the security forces surrounded the area with bulldozers destroying illegally encroached houses and removing the residents. Some reports also suggest that just before the operation, the police had entered adjacent Orangi townships that were predominantly Muhajir and seized caches of arms which were stored for self-defense. | Qasba Aligarh massacre | Qasba Aligarh massacre > Police crackdown in Sohrab Goth | text | en | 2023-07-11T07:47:15 | 137 | 8,810,243 |
A group of several armed Pashtuns with Kalashnikov rifles charged down the hill overlooking the Qasba and Aligarh colonies, and Sector 1-D of Orangi Town at around 2:30pm. The invaders are said to have set people's houses on fire using kerosene tanks "under [the] cover of a hail of gunfire". In less than two hours an estimated 400 people were murdered. Hundreds more were injured and many more escaped from the roof to save their lives. However, according to official figures, there were only 49 deaths. By 4:30 pm, hundreds of homes were burnt to the ground by the Pashtun terrorists | Qasba Aligarh massacre | Qasba Aligarh massacre > The massacre at Qasba and Aligarh colonies | text | en | 2023-07-11T07:47:15 | 175 | 8,810,244 |
The former chief justice of the Supreme Court Sajjad Ali Shah conducted an inquiry into the incident and wrote in his findings or that "it [was] the worst kind of massacre [he] had ever witnessed, where women, children and men from Muhajir community were slaughtered by illegal immigrants [and] the Corps Commander Karachi should have questioned as to why the army was asked to retreat approximately two hours before the incident took place". He suggested the existence of "foul-play". The report was sent to Islamabad where he criticized the army, Sindh administration and the governor’s role in the event. The report of fact-finding mission was ignored by the establishment | Qasba Aligarh massacre | Qasba Aligarh massacre > Formal judicial inquiry | text | en | 2023-07-11T07:47:15 | 173 | 8,810,245 |
In an interview with Mazhar Abbas, former Sindh chief minister Syed Ghous Ali Shah said that the judicial commission led by the chief justice was able to shed some light on the issues giving rise to the Qasba–Aligarh massacre and disclosed revealing details of negligence in the security forces. However, he confessed that the report was not brought to light because the government at the time had feared it would create more chaos. | Qasba Aligarh massacre | Qasba Aligarh massacre > Formal judicial inquiry | text | en | 2023-07-11T07:47:15 | 108 | 8,810,246 |
As per one of the survivors, "they came inside out houses and asked for men", "they killed indiscriminately with knives and guns chanting Allah’o’Akber as if we were infidels" said one of the survivors who lost her father and elder brother sobbing and she was correct. Mosques were used to mobilize people to kill and there were speeches and sermons given against the people living in Qasba Aligarh by the clerics stating that "killing them would take one to heaven". Mohammad Ibrahim another survivor who lost his elder brother told us that "they came in and started burning our houses, kicking the babies and killing anyone in front of them …". | Qasba Aligarh massacre | Qasba Aligarh massacre > Survivors' accounts | text | en | 2023-07-11T07:47:15 | 176 | 8,810,247 |

The fibers of the oculomotor nerve arise from a nucleus in the midbrain, which lies in the gray substance of the floor of the cerebral aqueduct and extends in front of the aqueduct for a short distance into the floor of the third ventricle. From this nucleus the fibers pass forward through the tegmentum, the red nucleus, and the medial part of the substantia nigra, forming a series of curves with a lateral convexity, and emerge from the oculomotor sulcus on the medial side of the cerebral peduncle. | Oculomotor nucleus | Oculomotor nucleus | text | en | 2023-06-22T08:23:46 | 143 | 8,810,277 |
The nucleus of the oculomotor nerve does not consist of a continuous column of cells, but is broken up into a number of smaller nuclei, which are arranged in two groups, anterior and posterior. Those of the posterior group are six in number, five of which are symmetrical on the two sides of the middle line, while the sixth is centrally placed and is common to the nerves of both sides. The anterior group consists of two nuclei, an antero-medial and an antero-lateral. The nucleus of the oculomotor nerve, considered from a physiological standpoint, can be subdivided into several smaller groups of cells, each group controlling a particular muscle. | Oculomotor nucleus | Oculomotor nucleus | text | en | 2023-06-22T08:23:46 | 173 | 8,810,278 |
A nearby nucleus, the Edinger-Westphal nucleus lies dorsal to the main oculomotor nucleus. It is responsible for the autonomic functions of the oculomotor nerve, including pupillary constriction and lens accommodation. | Oculomotor nucleus | Oculomotor nucleus | text | en | 2023-06-22T08:23:46 | 67 | 8,810,279 |

Tony Parker (25 June 1923 – 3 October 1996) was an oral historian whose work was dedicated to giving a voice to British and American society's most marginalised figures, from single mothers to lighthouse keepers to criminals, including murderers. | Tony Parker (author) | Tony Parker (author) | text | en | 2022-10-19T17:55:25 | 62 | 8,810,290 |
Born in Stockport, Cheshire, Parker was a conscientious objector during the Second World War and was directed to work in a coal mine. He moved to London and worked as a publisher's representative at Odhams Press. He campaigned against capital punishment and became very interested in prisons and their occupants, eventually focussing on the experiences of prisoners after release. Tony Parker died in Westleton, Suffolk, having just completed his study of his American counterpart Studs Terkel. | Tony Parker (author) | Tony Parker (author) > Biography | text | en | 2022-10-19T17:55:25 | 125 | 8,810,291 |
His books comprise lengthy interviews with his various subjects. He does not include his questions. He attempts to record his subjects "without comment or judgement". He began by specialising in studies of convicted criminals in Britain. His later books took a wider range of subjects: a poor housing estate, a small town in America, post-Communist Russia and the lives of lighthouse-keepers. Anthony Storr described him in 1970 as "Britain's most expert interviewer, mouthpiece of the inarticulate and counsel for the defence of those whom society has shunned and abandoned". As Colin Ward wrote in The Independent, Parker's "own triumphs were the result of his gentleness and modesty, which led the most taciturn or suspicious of people to open up with confidences they would not dream of revealing to more self-assertive questioners". The anonymous obituarist in The Daily Telegraph stressed that "his real gift was for creating sympathetic silences into which murderers, thugs, child molesters, rapists and baby-batterers could pour their confidences without inhibition". | Tony Parker (author) | Tony Parker (author) > Work | text | en | 2022-10-19T17:55:25 | 264 | 8,810,292 |
He also wrote plays for television and episodes of Juliet Bravo, The Gentle Touch, Within These Walls and Crown Court. | Tony Parker (author) | Tony Parker (author) > Work | text | en | 2022-10-19T17:55:25 | 40 | 8,810,293 |
