"the aston martin virage is an automobile produced by british luxury automobile manufacturer aston martin as a replacement for its v8 models.introduced at the birmingham motor show in 1988, it was joined by the high-performance vantage in 1993, and then the name of the base model was changed to v8 coupe in 1996.the v8-powered model was intended as the company's flagship model, with the 6-cylinder db7, introduced in 1994, positioned below it as an entry-level model.although the db7 became available with a v12 engine and claimed a performance advantage, the virage remained the exclusive, expensive and hand-built flagship of the aston martin range.it was replaced in 2000 with the vanquish.by the end of the 2000 model year, 1,050 cars in total had been produced.the v8 vantage name reappeared on a new entry-level model in 2005.a new virage model was introduced at the 2011 geneva motor show, to fit into the middle of aston martin's then current lineup but was discontinued in 2012 due to many similarities between the brand's other models.the virage was more similar in design language to the lagonda than the v8 it replaced.indeed, the chassis was an evolution of the lagonda's, with a de dion tube rear suspension, located by triangulated radius rods and a watts linkage, and a double wishbone unit at the front.to cut costs, many of the less-important pieces came from other companies, as had been the case for aston martin automobiles of the past.the sleek headlights and taillights were sourced from the audi 200 and the volkswagen scirocco respectively, while general motors, jaguar, citroën and ford provided the steering column, climate control panel, wing mirrors and dash switches.in fact, ford had purchased aston martin and jaguar shortly before the virage debuted and it became the first model to be introduced under the new ownership.the virage was a large, heavy car in spite of its all-aluminium body, but the 32-valve 5.3 l (5,340 cc) v8 engine's 494 n⋅m (364 lb⋅ft) torque elevated its performance to near sports car levels.'acceleration just never seems to run out', claimed sports car international during a first test.they also praised the 'eager and quicker revving' nature of the 330 hp (246 kw; 335 ps) engine with its callaway-designed heads and weber-marelli fuel injection.'nothing sounds quite like an aston v8,' they concluded.the 1,790 kg (3,946 lb) car could attain a top-speed of 254 km/h (158 mph).the automatic variant could accelerate to 97 km/h (60 mph) from a standing start in about 6.5 seconds (7.4 seconds for the manual version).an engine power upgrade to 350 hp (261 kw; 355 ps) was announced at the 1996 geneva motor show.english actor rowan atkinson owned virage coupé chassis 50010 which featured on the front cover of car may 1990.in the article he commented how the modern climate control system provided heating efficiency beyond the veteran aston martin driver's dreams and could not believe warm air would emanate from the footwell within 90 seconds of start up.this car also appeared in the beginning of his 1991 tv series the driven man.other celebrity owners included lennox lewis, elton john and chris eubank.the five-speed zf friedrichshafen manual was fitted to about forty percent of the cars produced.the more popular automatic option was the chrysler three-speed torqueflite transmission.for the 1993 model year, the three-speed unit was replaced by a four-speed automatic unit.the six-speed manual from the vantage also became optional at the end of the virage's production run.as the name implies, the centerpiece of the conversion was a bored and stroked 6.3 l (6,347 cc) v8 derived from the amr1 racing car.","aston martin virage | manufacturer | aston martin","the aston martin virage is an automobile produced by british luxury automobile manufacturer aston martin as a replacement for its v8 models.although the db7 became available with a v12 engine and claimed a performance advantage, the virage remained the exclusive, expensive and hand-built flagship of the aston martin range.a new virage model was introduced at the 2011 geneva motor show, to fit into the middle of aston martin's then current lineup but was discontinued in 2012 due to many similarities between the brand's other models.to cut costs, many of the less-important pieces came from other companies, as had been the case for aston martin automobiles of the past.in fact, ford had purchased aston martin and jaguar shortly before the virage debuted and it became the first model to be introduced under the new ownership.'nothing sounds quite like an aston v8,' they concluded.in the article he commented how the modern climate control system provided heating efficiency beyond the veteran aston martin driver's dreams and could not believe warm air would emanate from the footwell within 90 seconds of start up."

all sixty-three launches were successes, making the atlas ii a highly reliable space launch system.the atlas line was continued by the atlas iii, used between 2000 and 2005, and the atlas v which is still in use.additional commercial and u.s. government sales resulted in production increases leading to greater than 60 vehicles being produced and launched.atlas ii was developed from the atlas i and featured numerous upgrades over that vehicle.atlas ii was launched from launch complex 36 at cape canaveral space force station in florida as well as space launch complex 3e at vandenberg space force base in california.all launches were successful.the increased thrust, engine efficiency, and propellant capacity enabled the vehicle to lift payloads of 6,100 pounds (2,767 kg) into geostationary transfer orbit (gto), or more on later atlas ii variants.atlas ii also featured lower-cost electronics, an improved flight computer, and longer propellant tanks than its predecessor, atlas i.the stage was powered by 3 rs-56 rocket engines (derived from the rs-27 main engine of the delta ii rocket) burning 156 t (344,000 lb) of rp-1 and liquid oxygen.the two booster engines were the rs-56-oba variants (the complete assembly of both engines and the aft skirt was referred to as the ma-5a), with high thrust but moderate efficiency.the sustainer (center) engine was the rs-56-osa variant, featuring much less thrust but higher efficiency at high altitudes than the booster engines.the vernier engines used on the first stage of the atlas i (and all previous atlas models) were replaced by a hydrazine-fueled roll control system on atlas ii.this system, mounted on the interstage between the first and second stages, utilized small thrusters to control the vehicle's roll.compared to atlas i, the atlas ii first stage was 2.7 m (8 ft 10 in) taller.the atlas ii was the last atlas rocket to use the 'stage-and-a-half' technique, where it ignited all 3 rs-56 engines at liftoff and then jettisoned the 2 rs-56-oba side engines and their support structure during ascent.the two rs-56-oba engines were integrated into a single unit called the ma-5a and shared a common gas generator.they burned for approximately 164 seconds before being jettisoned, when acceleration reached approximately 5.0-5.5 g. the central sustainer engine on the first stage, an rs-56-osa, would burn for an additional 125 seconds after their jettison.it featured better efficiency at high altitudes than the rs-56-obas.the first stage also had the option to be fitted with 4 castor 4a solid rocket boosters as part of the iias version, each providing an additional 478.3 kn (107,500 lbf) of thrust for 56 seconds.the first two boosters were ignited at liftoff, and the other two were ignited after the first two burnt out.both pairs of boosters were jettisoned shortly after their respective burns.centaur ii featured 2 rl-10a-3-3a engines, burning liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen.it featured propellant tanks 0.9 meters longer than its predecessor, centaur i, giving the stage more propellant and therefore higher performance.due to the super cold propellants inside centaur, foam insulation was installed onto the outer metal skin on the stage to help mitigate propellant boiloff inside the tank.","atlas ii | launchsite | vandenberg air force base","atlas ii was developed from the atlas i and featured numerous upgrades over that vehicle.atlas ii was launched from launch complex 36 at cape canaveral space force station in florida as well as space launch complex 3e at vandenberg space force base in california."

the fifth-largest of munster's six counties in size and the second-largest by population.the river shannon flows through the city of limerick into the atlantic ocean at the northern end of the county.below the city, the waterway is known as the shannon estuary.because the estuary is shallow, the county's most important port is several kilometres west of the city, at foynes.limerick city is the county town and is also ireland's third-largest city.newcastle west, kilmallock and abbeyfeale are other important towns in the county.while baronies continue to be officially defined units, they are no longer used for many administrative purposes.their official status is illustrated by placenames orders made since 2003, where official irish names of baronies are listed under 'administrative

mountains to the south, and the mullaghareirk mountains to the southwest and west.the highest point in the county is located in its southeast corner at galtymore (919 m), which separates limerick from county tipperary.limerick shares the 3rd-highest county peak in ireland with tipperary.the county is not simply a plain, its topography consists of hills and ridges.the eastern part of the county is part of the golden vale, which is well known for dairy produce and consists of rolling low hills.this gives way to very flat land around the centre of the county, with the exception being knockfierna at 288 m high.towards the west, the mullaghareirk mountains (mullach an radhairc in irish, roughly meaning 'mountains of the view') push across the county offering extensive views east over the county and west into county kerry.volcanic rock is to be found in numerous areas in the county, at carrigogunnell, at knockfierna, and principally at pallasgreen/kilteely in the east, which has been described as the most compact and for its size one of the most varied and complete carboniferous volcanic districts in either britain and ireland.tributaries of the shannon drainage basin located in the county include the rivers mulcair, loobagh, maigue, camogue, morning star, deel, and the feale.the arrival of the celts around 400 bc brought about the division of the county into petty kingdoms

"dublin (; irish: baile átha cliath, pronounced [ˈbˠalʲə aːhə ˈclʲiə] or [ˌbʲlʲaː ˈclʲiə]) is the capital and largest city of ireland.on a bay at the mouth of the river liffey, it is in the province of leinster, bordered on the south by the dublin mountains, a part of the wicklow mountains range.at the 2016 census it had a population of 1,173,179, while the 2022 census recorded that county dublin as a whole had a population of 1,458,154, and that the population of the greater dublin area was over 2 million, or roughly 40% of the republic of ireland's total population.a settlement was established in the area by the gaels during or before the 7th century, followed by the vikings.as the kingdom of dublin grew, it became ireland's principal settlement by the 12th century anglo-norman invasion of ireland.the city expanded rapidly from the 17th century and was briefly the second largest in the british empire and sixth largest in western europe after the acts of union in 1800.following independence in 1922, dublin became the capital of the irish free state, renamed ireland in 1937.dublin is a centre for education, arts and culture, administration, and industry.as of 2018, the city was listed by the globalization and world cities research network (gawc) as a global city, with a ranking of 'alpha minus', which places it as one of the top thirty cities in the world.this tidal pool was located where the river poddle entered the liffey, on the site of the castle gardens at the rear of dublin castle.in modern irish the name is duibhlinn, and irish rhymes from county dublin show that in dublin leinster irish it was pronounced duílinn [ˈd̪ˠiːlʲiɲ].the original pronunciation is preserved in the names for the city in other languages such as old english difelin, old norse dyflin, modern icelandic dyflinn and modern manx divlyn as well as welsh dulyn and breton dulenn.other localities in ireland also bear the name duibhlinn, variously anglicised as devlin, divlin and difflin.historically, scribes using the gaelic script wrote bh with a dot over the b, rendering duḃlinn or duiḃlinn.those without knowledge of irish omitted the dot, spelling the name as dublin.variations on the name are also found in traditionally gaelic-speaking areas of scotland (gàidhealtachd, cognate with irish gaeltacht), such as an linne dhubh ('the black pool'), which is part of loch linnhe.it is now thought that the viking settlement was preceded by a christian ecclesiastical settlement known as duibhlinn, from which dyflin took its name.beginning in the 9th and 10th centuries, there were two settlements where the modern city stands.the viking settlement of about 841, dyflin, and a gaelic settlement, áth cliath ('ford of hurdles') further up the river, at the present-day father mathew bridge (also known as dublin bridge), at the bottom of church street.baile átha cliath, meaning 'town of the hurdled ford', is the common name for the city in modern irish.áth cliath is a place name referring to a fording point of the river liffey near father mathew bridge.baile átha cliath was an early christian monastery, believed to have been in the area of aungier street, currently occupied by whitefriar street carmelite church.there are other towns of the same name, such as àth cliath in east ayrshire, scotland, which is anglicised as hurlford.the city is also referred to as bleá cliath and blea cliath in irish, particularly when spoken.these are contracted versions of baile átha cliath.further traps were discovered closer to the old settlement of the city of dublin on the south quays near st. james's gate which also indicate mesolithic human activity.the writings of ptolemy (the greco-roman astronomer and cartographer) in about 140 ad provide possibly the earliest reference to a settlement near dublin.","dublin | leadername | críona ní dhálaigh","no related information" "the audi a1 (internally designated typ 8x) is a supermini car launched by audi at the 2010 geneva motor show.sales of the initial three-door a1 model started in germany in august 2010, with the united kingdom following in november 2010.a five-door version, called sportback, was launched in november 2011, with sales starting in export markets during spring 2012.the concept seats four and features a new plug-in hybrid powertrain.with this powertrain, a 1.4 l (85.4 cu in) 148 bhp (110.4 kw) turbo fsi engine drives the front wheels via a six-speed s-tronic, while a 40 bhp (29.8 kw;

(italian pronunciation: [ˈkɔsta kroˈtʃɛːre]), operating as costa cruises, is an italian cruise line founded in 1948 and organized as a wholly owned subsidiary of carnival corporation & plc since 2000.based in genoa, italy, the cruise line primarily caters to the italian cruise market, but the company's 10 ships, which all sail under the italian flag, provide itineraries sailing to countries globally.in 1924, the company was passed to the founder's sons (federico, eugenio and enrico) and started commercial activities, buying the ship, ravenna.in 1947, the name of the company was changed to linea c. === costa line === in march 1948, passenger services were introduced, beginning with regular services between italy and south america operated by the ship, anna c. the ship departed from genoa and reached buenos aires 16 days after departure.she marked the start of scheduled operations between italy and south america after being the first ocean liner to cross the south atlantic ocean following world war ii.in 1958, costa commissioned their first purpose-built ship, federico c , which provided a liner service between genoa, italy and buenos aires, argentina via rio de janeiro, brazil.in 1959, the company gradually transitioned into offering more pleasure holidays, with trips being offered in the mediterranean and the caribbean regions.the second purpose built ship, eugenio c, debuted in 1966, designed by famous naval architect nicolò costanzi.linea c went on to own 12 more ships by 1980, making the company the owner of the world's largest fleet of passenger ships.in 1986, linea c changed its name to costa cruises and became a cruise-centered business.the line had decided to modernize its fleet by the late 1980s, and ordered two new ships in 1987, which became costa classica and costa romantica entering service in 1991 and 1993 respectively.the line also converted and completely rebuilt two former container ships into costa marina and costa allegra around the same time as ordering the two new ships.costa wanted to create a new upscale european brand for their new ships and launched the short-lived euroluxe brand.the costa victoria debuted in 1996, and was the largest cruise ship ever built in germany at the time, and largest for the costa.it's completion was cost was covered by selling the much loved classic eugenio costa.the costa victoria would be the final ship completed under the costa family brand before the line was taken over by carnival corporation & plc.the ship was scheduled to have a sister, the costa olympia, which was never completed for the line after the shipyards bankruptcy, and instead the uncompleted hull was sold to norwegian cruise line.in march 1997, carnival and airtours plc purchased costa cruises for $300 million, on a 50:50 basis.at the time, costa cruises was the leading european cruise line, with an estimated market share of 19%.they line would also utilize carnival's designer joe farcus, who undertook the interior design, moving away from the contemporary italian style of the previous ships to more themed public spaces similar to carnival cruise line.the first ship delivered under carnival corp management, was costa atlantica in 2000.in 2000, carnival corporation took full control of costa crociere after buying out airtours' 50% interest for $525 million.carnival corporation would transfer older ships from their other brands to costa, with the costa tropicale(former carnival cruise line tropicale) in 2001, and the costa europa (former holland american line westerdam) in 2002.in 2002, carnival corporation and p&o princess cruises merged to form carnival corporation & plc, bringing together both companies' assets under one corporation.","costa crociere | location | genoa","in 1947, the name of the company was changed to linea c. === costa line === in march 1948, passenger services were introduced, beginning with regular services between italy and south america operated by the ship, anna c. the ship departed from genoa and reached buenos aires 16 days after departure.in 1958, costa commissioned their first purpose-built ship, federico c , which provided a liner service between genoa, italy and buenos aires, argentina via rio de janeiro, brazil." "alderney airport (iata: aci, icao: egja) is the only airport on the island of alderney, guernsey.built in 1935, alderney airport was the first airport in the channel islands.located on the blaye (1 nm (1.9 km; 1.2 mi) southwest of st anne), it is the closest channel island airport to the south coast of england and the coast of france.its facilities include a hangar, the airport fire station, and avgas refuelling.alderney airport is the base and on-record hub of air alderney, an airline that, as of 2022, has had problems commencing flights since 2017.the main runway, 08/26 is 880 m (2,887 ft) long and is mainly asphalt.the two secondary runways are both grass, 13/31 being 733 m (2,405 ft) long, with 03/21 having a length of 497 m (1,631 ft).the main runway is equipped with low-intensity lighting, with portable lighting being available on runway 13/31.the approach and runway lights were replaced in 2006.alderney is not a 24-hour airport; during winter, it is open monday to saturday from 0740 until 1830 and on sunday from 0840 until 1830.during summer, it is open monday - thursday from 0740 until 1830 and friday - sunday from 0740 until 1920.the airport also has its own non-directional beacon, with runways 08 and 26 utilizing this for instrument approaches during instrument meteorological conditions.both runways also have an approved gps (satellite) approach.this means that aircraft can land in lower visibility.alderney has self-manoeuvring stands.formal stands are not required due to the lack of space to accommodate nose-in-configured aircraft.routes to other destinations such as brighton, bournemouth, cherbourg, exeter, plymouth and jersey were abandoned over the years due to what blue islands, for example, claimed was 'lack of interest'.these routes had been operated on and off by aurigny and blue islands but also alderney air ferries, air sarnia, and air camelot during the 1970s and 1980s.the number of air routes to the island is at its lowest since the second world war except for a brief intermission during the 1967-8 period, when another airline (glos air, later to be aurigny air services) was found to fill the void (see below right).from september 2013, airline aurigny operated direct flights to jersey on a trial basis for a period of six weeks.in april 2015, it was announced that the states of alderney had asked airline citywing to operate a seasonal summer service between alderney and jersey using let l-410 aircraft.however this service has not materialised.in january 2017, a new airline air alderney was set up with the intention of commencing direct flights using britten-norman islander aircraft from alderney to destinations including jersey, cherbourg, lee-on–solent, and brighton.despite considerable progress being made in acquiring aircraft and obtaining an air operator's certificate, to date operations have not yet commenced due to complications regarding ground operations at the intended destination airports.this was to be used to pay for redevelopment of the terminal, which is over 50 years old.during the 2020 covid lockdown, while aircraft movements were low, airport staff refurbished the buildings, including repairs to a leaky flat roof on the 1960s terminal, and patch repaired the runway.the runway was previously resurfaced in 1999 with a surface material having a design life of between 12 and 15 years.a major patch and repair was undertaken on the eastern end of the runway in the autumn of 2016, to provide a short term improvement, but by 2018 it was reported that major work would soon be required for continued safe operations.in 2020 the runway was patched and repaired during covid lockdown by airport staff.on the 4th of july 2022 the states of alderney backed plans to extend the runway from 2,877ft (877m) to about 3,444ft (1,050m) so that larger aircraft such as the atr 72 plane can serve the island giving an additional 20,000 seats per year to help tourism.","alderney airport | runwayname | 14/32","no related information" "ethiopians are the native inhabitants of ethiopia, as well as the global diaspora of ethiopia.ethiopians constitute several component ethnic groups, many of which are closely related to ethnic groups in neighboring eritrea and other parts of the horn of africa.the first documented use of the name 'ethiopia' from greek name 'αἰθίοψ' (ethiopian) was in the 4th century during the reign of aksumite king ezana.there were three ethnolinguistic groups in the kingdom of aksum; semitic, cushitic, and nilo-saharan (ancestors of the modern-day kunama and nara).the kingdom of aksum remained a geopolitically influential entity until the pillage of its capital — also named axum — in the 10th century by queen gudit.nevertheless, the core aksumite civilization was preserved and continued into the successive zagwe dynasty.by this time, new ethnic groups emerged – the tigrayans and amharas.during the solomonic period, the latter established major political and cultural influence in the horn of africa.in the late middle ages, muslim states were established, including the sultanate of ifat, and its successor the adal sultanate.discontent with territory and religious dominance led to intense war between the ethiopian empire, the christian state, (consisting of the amhara, tigrayan, soddo gurage, and agaw ethnic groups) and the muslim state adal sultanate (consisting of semitic speaking harari formally known as the harla people and the argobba).during the 1600s, there were large-scale migrations of the oromo from the south into the highlands and also alongside the somali into adal or what was known as 'hararghe' (land of the hararis).a period of stability and peace continued through the gondarine period in 16th and 17th century, but ethiopia was divided into de facto autonomous regions in the mid-18th century.during this time, ethiopia was nominally ruled by an emperor who functioned as a puppet monarch of various regional lords and noblemen.this era was known as the zemene mesafint or 'era of the princes'.emperor tewodros ii managed to unify the decentralized ethiopian empire in 1855 and inaugurated a process of modernization that continued into successive regimes, resurrecting the empire as a regional power.in the late 19th-century during the reign of menelik ii, against the backdrop of the scramble for africa, the notion of ethiopian national integrity was strengthened by italian efforts at colonization.the italian invasion engendered a formidable national resistance, culminating in the battle of adwa in 1896 which resulted in a major ethiopian victory against the italians.the resulting treaty of addis ababa ended the italo-ethiopian war, and along with the nation's contemporaneous territorial expansion, largely established the modern-day boundaries of ethiopia.present-day ethiopia has a diverse population with many different languages and ethnic groups.ethiopians speak afro-asiatic languages (semitic, cushitic, and omotic) and nilo-saharan languages.the oromo, amhara, somali and tigrayans make up more than three-quarters (75%) of the population, but there are more than 80 different ethnic groups within ethiopia.some of these have as few as 10,000 members.it is estimated to be 3.5 million years old.in october 2015, scientists found a 4,500 years ago lived man called mota in a cave in southern central ethiopia.atypical to euroasians, which were believed reached the region after him, mota's genetic variants was not as 'light-colored eye or skin', resembles the modern aari tribes that live in the southern area of the country.another research suggests that euroasians arrived in the region resembles modern-day sardinians, or likely lbk culture of antiquity.by proofing mota has no european genome, archeologist theorized the near east population migrated to africa in 3,000 years ago.other evidence concluded that eurasian population made significant contribution as a result of back migration between 1,500 and 3,500 years ago.","ethiopia | leadername | mulatu teshome","no related information" "the desoto

widespread criticism over its central role in the consolidation of the live events industry, allegations that it proactively engages in anti-competitive practices, poor handling of the ticket sale process for highly popular events, and injuries and deaths that have occurred at many of its events.the new company received regulatory approval and was named live nation entertainment.michael rapino,

who argued it would reduce competition in the industry and increase ticket costs.artist bruce springsteen was one vocal opponent of the merger at the time.on january 25, 2010, the united states justice department approved the merger pending certain conditions.ticketmaster had to sell ownership of its self-ticketing company, paciolan, and license its software to anschutz entertainment group (aeg), which would allow it to compete 'head-to-head' with ticketmaster for business.aeg was given the option after five years to buy the software, replace it with something else, or partner with another ticketing company.additionally, live nation entertainment was placed under a 10-year court order prohibiting it from retaliating against venues that choose to accept competing ticket contracts.the company later acquired c3 presents (2014), bonnaroo music and arts festival (2015), and founders entertainment (2016), the parent company of the governors ball music festival.in august

country in northwestern europe, off the north-western coast of the continental mainland.it comprises england, scotland, wales and northern ireland.it includes the island of great britain, the north-eastern part of the island of ireland, and most of the smaller islands within the british isles.northern ireland shares a land border with the republic of ireland; otherwise, the united kingdom is surrounded by the atlantic ocean, the north sea, the english channel, the celtic sea and the irish sea.the total area of the united kingdom is 242,495 square kilometres (93,628 sq mi), with an estimated 2023 population of over 68 million people.the united kingdom has evolved from a series of annexations, unions and separations of constituent countries over several hundred years.the treaty of union between the kingdom of england (which also included wales) and the kingdom of scotland in 1707 resulted in their unification to become the kingdom of great britain.its union in 1801 with the kingdom of ireland created the united kingdom of great britain and ireland.most of ireland seceded from the uk in 1922, leaving the present united kingdom of great britain and northern ireland, which formally adopted its name in 1927.the nearby isle of man, guernsey and jersey are not part of the uk, being crown dependencies, but the british government is responsible for their defence and international representation.the uk became the world's first industrialised country and was the foremost power during the 19th and early 20th centuries, a period of unchallenged global hegemony known as 'pax britannica'.the 14 british overseas territories are the last remnants of the british empire which, at its height in the 1920s, encompassed almost a quarter of the world's landmass and population, and was the largest empire in history.a part of the core anglophonic world, british influence can be observed in the language, culture, legal and political systems of many of its former colonies.the united kingdom is a constitutional monarchy and parliamentary democracy.its capital and largest city is london, the capital of england, a global city and financial centre with a metropolitan population of over 14 million people.edinburgh, cardiff and belfast are the national capitals of scotland, wales and northern ireland respectively.other major cities include birmingham, manchester, leeds, glasgow, sheffield and liverpool.scotland, wales, and northern ireland have their own devolved governments, each with varying powers.the uk is a great power, exerting significant economic, political, military, scientific and cultural influence in world affairs.it has the world's sixth-largest economy by nominal gross domestic product (gdp), and the tenth-largest by purchasing power parity.it is a recognised nuclear state and is the foremost military power in europe.the uk has been a permanent member of the united nations security council since its first session in 1946.it is a member of the commonwealth of nations, the council of europe, the g7, the oecd, the five eyes, nato and aukus, and was a member of the eu until its withdrawal with a free trade deal in 2020.the uk is set to join the cptpp, a major trade bloc in the indo-pacific, after negotiations regarding its accession concluded in march 2023.great britain encompassed the whole island, taking in the land north of the river forth known to the romans as caledonia in modern scotland (i.e.'greater' britain).in the middle ages, the name 'britain' was also applied to a small part of france now known as brittany.as a result, great britain (likely from the french 'grande bretagne') came into use to refer specifically to the island, with brittany often referred to as 'little britain'.","united kingdom

"(410777) 2009 fd is a carbonaceous sub-kilometer asteroid and binary system, classified as near-earth object and potentially hazardous asteroid of the apollo group, discovered on 24 february 2009 by astronomers of the spacewatch program at kitt peak national observatory near tucson, arizona, in the united states.until 2019, the asteroid's modelled orbit placed it at risk of a possible future collision with earth in 2185.with a palermo technical impact hazard scale rating of -0.44, it had the fifth highest impact threat of all known asteroids based on its estimated diameter, kinetic yield, impact probability, and time interval.observations to 2019 extended the observation arc by four years and detected a favourable yarkovsky effect, which ruled out impact in 2185.using observations from 16 november 2020, the asteroid was removed from the sentry risk table on 19 november 2020.because there were previous observations found in images taken by the spacewatch survey some 3 weeks prior, on 24 february 2009, the minor planet center assigned the discovery credit to spacewatch under the discovery assignment rules.2009 fd made a close pass to earth on 27 march 2009 at a distance of 0.004172 au (624,100 km; 387,800 mi) and another on 24 october 2010 at 0.0702 au.2009 fd was recovered at apparent magnitude 23 on 30 november 2013 by cerro paranal observatory, several months before the close approach of april 2014 when it passed 0.1 au from earth.it brightened to roughly apparent magnitude 19.3 around mid-march 2014.one radar doppler observation of 2009 fd was made in 2014.the october–november 2015 earth approach was studied by the goldstone deep space network.this gave it an estimated mass of around 2,800,000 tonnes.but work by amy mainzer using neowise data in 2014 showed that it could be as large as 472 metres with an albedo as low as 0.01.because 2009 fd (k09f00d) was only detected in two (w1+w2) of the four wavelengths the suspected neowise diameter is more of an upper limit.radar observations in 2015 showed it to be a binary asteroid.the primary is 120–180 meters in diameter and the secondary is 60–120 meters in diameter.as of 2016, the approach of 29 march 2185 had a 1 in 710 chance of impacting earth.the nominal 2185 earth approach distance was 0.009 au (1,300,000 km; 840,000 mi).orbit determination for 2190 is complicated by the 2185 close approach.the precise distance that it will pass from earth and the moon on 29 march 2185 will determine the 30 march 2190 distance.2009 fd should pass closer to the moon than earth on 29 march 2185.an impact by 2009 fd would cause severe devastation to a large region or tsunamis of significant size.in 2014 (with observations through 5 february 2014, creating an observation arc of 1807 days) the potential 2185 impact was ruled out.using the 2014 observations, the yarkovsky effect has become more significant than the position uncertainties.the yarkovsky effect has resulted in the 2185 virtual impactor returning.while 2009 fd was estimated to be 470 meters in diameter, it was rated −0.40 on the palermo scale, placing it higher on the sentry risk table than any other known object at the time.on 14 june 2019, alessio del vigna and colleagues published a new analysis, which incorporates astrometry taken in 2019.using both jpl's sentry as well as neodys's clomon-2 system, the new data allowed a 4-sigma detection of the yarkovsky effect at (+3.6±0.9)×10−3 au/myr.the 2019 observations extended the observation arc from six years to ten years.this ruled out the 2185 impact possibility, leaving the potential impact in 2190 as the only theoretically possible impact until 2250, at a very low probability of 1 in 100 million.","410777 2009 fd | absolutemagnitude | 221","no related information" "albert blakeslee white (september 22, 1856 – july 3, 1941) was the 11th governor of west virginia from 1901 to 1905.white was educated in the public schools of columbus, ohio.in 1878, he graduated from marietta college.in 1879, he married agnes ward.white began his career in journalism as a managing editor in lafayette, indiana and relocated to parkersburg, west virginia (wood county) in 1881.he continued to work as a politically powerful editor in parkerburg until 1889.in 1889, white was appointed by president benjamin harrison as collector of internal revenue for west virginia.he was later reappointed by president william mckinley in 1897.in 1900, white was the republican nominee for governor of west virginia and defeated democrat john h. holt by 19156 votes.in 1916, white failed to win the republican nomination for the us senate having been defeated by howard sutherland;

luxembourg to the southeast, france to the southwest, and the north sea to the northwest.it covers an area of 30,528 km2 (11,787 sq mi) and has a population of more than 11.5 million, making it the 22nd most densely populated country in the world and the 6th most densely populated country in europe, with a density of 376/km2 (970/sq mi).belgium is part of an area known as the low countries, historically a somewhat larger region than the benelux group of states, as it also included parts of northern france.the capital and largest city is brussels; other major cities are antwerp, ghent, charleroi, liège, bruges, namur, and leuven.belgium is a sovereign state and a federal constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary system.its institutional organization is complex and is structured on both regional and linguistic grounds.it is divided into three highly autonomous regions: the flemish region (flanders) in the north, the walloon region (wallonia) in the south, and the brussels-capital region.brussels is the smallest and most densely populated region, as well as the richest region in terms of gdp per capita.belgium is also home to two main linguistic communities: the flemish community, which constitutes about 60 percent of the population, and the french community, which constitutes about 40 percent of the population.a small german-speaking community, numbering around one percent, exists in the east cantons.the brussels-capital region is officially bilingual in french and dutch, although french is the dominant language.belgium's linguistic diversity and related political conflicts are reflected in its complex system of governance, made up of six different governments.since the middle ages, belgium's central location near several major rivers has meant that the area has been relatively prosperous, connected commercially and politically to its bigger neighbours.the country as it exists today was established following the 1830 belgian revolution, when it seceded from the united kingdom of the netherlands, which had incorporated the southern netherlands (which comprised most of modern-day belgium) after the congress of vienna in 1815.the name chosen for the new state is derived from the latin word belgium, used in julius caesar's 'gallic wars', to describe a nearby region in the period around 55 bce.belgium has also been the battleground of european powers, earning the moniker the 'battlefield of europe', a reputation reinforced in the 20th century by both world wars.belgium participated in the industrial revolution, and

by widespread atrocities and disease, leading to a population decline of millions; amid public outcry in europe, belgium annexed the territory as a colony.the belgian colonial empire gained independence between 1960 and 1962.the second half of the 20th century was marked by rising tensions between the dutch-speaking and the french-speaking citizens fueled by differences in language and culture and the unequal economic development of flanders and wallonia.this continuing antagonism has led to several far-reaching state reforms, resulting in the transition from a unitary to a federal arrangement between 1970 and 1993.despite the reforms, tensions between the groups have remained, if not increased; there is significant separatism particularly among the flemish; controversial language laws exist such as the municipalities with language facilities; and the formation of a coalition government took 18 months following the june 2010 federal election, a world record.","belgium

the new mexico house of representatives.following a purge of corruption among cattle rustlers that fountain investigated and prosecuted, he and his eight-year-old son henry disappeared near white sands, new mexico territory.their bloodstained wagon and other evidence of an ambush were recovered, but the bodies were never found.suspicion centered on two rival landowners, oliver m. lee and albert bacon fall.lee and two employees were tried for the murder of henry fountain, but acquitted after a defense by fall.no charges were ever filed for the death of albert fountain.he went to california as a young man and began calling himself by an anglicised version of his mother's family name.(accounts differ as to why he did so.)fountain studied law in california and was admitted to the bar in 1860.working as a reporter for the sacramento union, he travelled to nicaragua in 1860 to cover the filibustering expedition of william walker.angering walker by his reports, fountain was arrested and sentenced to be shot.however, he escaped and returned to california.in august 1861, during the american civil war, fountain enlisted in the company e of the 1st california infantry regiment of the union army and was elected first sergeant of his company.he took part in the 1862 recapture of the new mexico territory as a member of the california column.in october 1862, he married mariana pérez of mesilla.they would become the parents of four sons and two daughters.later commissioned a second lieutenant, he was discharged on august 31, 1864.fountain almost immediately joined the new mexico volunteers because of the ongoing indian wars.in june 1865, he was seriously wounded while pursuing hostile apaches.he spent a night trapped under his dead horse, with a bullet in his thigh, an arrow in his forearm, and another arrow in his shoulder.on his recovery, fountain was discharged as a brevet captain.fountain settled in el paso, texas, working for the united states property commission, which investigated and disposed of former confederate property.he was then made the customs collector for the el paso region.fountain was next appointed an election judge, and finally became the assessor and collector of internal revenue for the western district of texas.in 1870, fountain became a co-founder of the church of st. clement, the first protestant church in el

session of the twelfth legislature and served as lieutenant governor ex officio at the same time, as the office was vacant.fountain's most notable accomplishment was pushing through the bill that re-established the texas rangers, which had been abolished after the civil war.fountain's radical republican views angered texas democrats and he was challenged to several duels, resulting in him killing at least one man, frank williams.in 1873, fountain moved from el paso to mesilla with his wife and their five children.there he became a lawyer, using his fluent spanish to good advantage in jury trials.fountain was appointed assistant district attorney and also served as probate judge and a deputy court clerk.in 1877, he founded a newspaper, the mesilla valley independent, which was

"1000 piazzia, provisional designation 1923 nz, is a carbonaceous background asteroid from the outer region of the asteroid belt, approximately 48 kilometers (30 miles) in diameter.it was discovered on 12 august 1923, by german astronomer karl reinmuth at heidelberg observatory in southern germany.the c-type asteroid has a rotation period of 9.5 hours.it was named after italian giuseppe piazzi, who discovered 1 ceres.it orbits the sun in the outer asteroid belt at a distance of 2.4–4.0 au once every 5 years and 8 months (2,063 days; semi-major axis of 3.17 au).its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.26 and an inclination of 21° with respect to the ecliptic.as no precoveries were taken, the body's observation arc begins with its first recorded observation on the night following its official discovery date.he was a director of both the palermo and naples observatories, and known for the compilation of the palermo catalogue, containing the precise position of 7,646 stars.in 1801, piazzi discovered 1 ceres, the first and largest asteroid and the main-belt's only dwarf planet.he is also honored by the lunar crater piazzi.the official naming citation was first mentioned in the names of the minor planets by paul herget in 1955 (h 96).the asteroid is the first of several early 'kilo-numbered' minor planets that were dedicated to renowned scientists or institutions including: 2000 herschel, for william herschel who discovered uranus 3000 leonardo, for the italian polymath of the renaissance, leonardo da vinci 4000 hipparchus, for the ancient greek astronomer hipparchusthese are followed by the asteroids 5000 iau (for the international astronomical union), 6000 united nations (for the united nations), 7000 curie (for the pioneers on radioactivity, marie and pierre curie), and 8000 isaac newton (for isaac newton), while 9000 hal (after hal 9000 from the movie 2001: a space odyssey) and 10000 myriostos (after the greek word for ten-thousandth, and to honor all astronomers) were named based on their direct numeric accordance.1000 piazzia was named as part of trio honoring the events surrounding the discovery of ceres in 1801.a person named carl friedrich gauss who computed the orbit of ceres, and heinrich wilhelm matthias olbers who found it again later that year after it has passed behind the sun.in honor of them, 1001 gaussia for gauss and 1002 olbersia for olbers were named along with 1000 piazzia.in the next few years only three more astronomical bodies were found between mars and jupiter, pallas, juno, and 4 vesta, however it would be 37 years before another asteroid was found, 5 astraea in 1845.by 1868, 100 asteroids had been discovered, however it would not be until 1921 that the 1000th was discovered.the rate accelerated in the 20th century and the ten thousandth would be discovered in 1989.the lightcurve gave a rotation period of 9.47±0.01 hours with a brightness variation of 0.45 magnitude (u=3).a second lightcurve was obtained by astronomer rené roy in march 2007, rendering a period of 9.2±0.2 hours and an amplitude of 0.2 magnitude (u=2).according to the space-based surveys carried out by the infrared astronomical satellite iras, the japanese akari satellite and the neowise mission of nasa's wide-field infrared survey explorer, piazzia measures between 45.72 and 51.55 kilometers in diameter and its surface has an albedo

area comprises 29 municipalities with a total population of over 3,731,769 (ibge estimate in 2021), making it the ninth most populous metropolitan area in the country.the city sits on a plateau at 932 m (3,058 ft) above sea level.it is located west of the seaport of paranaguá and is served by the afonso pena international and bacacheri airports.curitiba is an important cultural, political, and economic center in latin america and hosts the federal university of paraná, established in 1912.in the 1700s, curitiba's favorable location between cattle-breeding countryside and marketplaces led to a successful cattle trade and the city's first major expansion.later, between 1850 and 1950, it grew due to logging and agricultural expansion in paraná state (first araucaria angustifolia logging, later mate and coffee cultivation and in the 1970s wheat, corn and soybean cultivation).in the 1850s, waves of european immigrants arrived in curitiba, mainly germans, italians, poles and ukrainians, contributing to the city's economic and cultural development and richness in diversity.nowadays, only small numbers of immigrants arrive, primarily from middle eastern and other south american countries.curitiba's biggest expansion occurred after the 1960s, with innovative urban planning that allowed the population to grow from some hundreds of thousands to more than a million people.curitiba's economy is based on industry and services and is the fourth largest in brazil.economic growth occurred in parallel to a substantial inward flow of brazilians from other parts of the country, as approximately half of the city's population was not born in curitiba.curitiba is one of the few brazilian cities with a very high human development index (0.856) and in 2010 it was awarded the global sustainable city award, given to cities and municipalities that excel in sustainable urban development.according to us magazine reader's digest, curitiba is the best 'brazilian big city' in which to live.curitiba's crime rate is considered low by brazilian standards and the city is considered one of the safest cities in brazil for youth.the city is also regarded as the best in which to invest in brazil.curitiba was one of the host cities of the 1950 fifa world cup, and again for the 2014 fifa world cup.despite its good social indicators, the city has a higher unemployment rate than other cities in the state.the name was changed to 'curitiba' in 1721.curitiba officially became a town in 1812, spelling its name as 'curityba'.an alternative spelling was 'coritiba'.this was used in press and state documents.a state decree in 1919 settled the dispute by adopting 'curitiba'.waves of european immigrants arrived after 1850, mainly poles, italians, germans (mostly volga germans from russia) and ukrainians.cattlemen drove their herds from rio grande do sul to the state of são paulo, turning curitiba into an important intermediate trading post.the paranaguá–curitiba railroad was opened in 1885.around the beginning of the 20th century, curitiba benefited from the wealth of the yerba mate mills.the owners (known as 'barões da erva-mate') built mansions in the capital.these have mostly been preserved in the districts of batel and alto da glória.in the 1940s and 1950s, alfred agache, co-founder of the french society for urban studies, was hired to produce its first city

"alberto teisaire (20 may 1891 – 11 september 1963) was an argentine naval officer and vice president of argentina.he enrolled in the argentine naval academy in 1908 and, upon graduation in 1912, was accepted to the united states naval academy.there, he was commissioned as a submarine officer in the u.s. navy, during world war i.returning to argentina, he married duilia fayo lonne and was eventually named commander of the navy's flagship, the historic sarmiento frigate.teisaire later taught at the argentine naval academy and held numerous policy-making posts in that service, including ones in the naval requisitions department, the argentine naval delegations in the united states and europe, as head of the navy's river fleet (1938), and as assistant director of the important navy mechanics' school, in 1940, where he specialized in the instruction of navigation and hydrology.he became a reliable ally of the new war and labor minister, col. juan perón, whose support of organized labor and their platform had provoked growing rivalries within the military regime.teisaire became perón's most prominent ally in the government when, in july, he was named interior minister (at the time, overseeing law enforcement).he retired as rear admiral in 1945 to pursue a seat in the argentine senate, ahead of the february 1946 general elections.elected as senator on perón's labor party ticket, teisaire represented the city of buenos aires, a district normally leaning towards perón's chief opposition, the centrist ucr.he, however, did not enjoy support from the president's influential first lady, eva perón, who refused his request to take part in her 1947 'rainbow tour' because (in her words): 'i did not want that fruitcake creating a scandal in paris, when for that i already have paquito, who at least makes me laugh.'teisaire did well in his career in the senate, even so.he was named provisional president of the senate in 1947, and was reelected senator in 1951.he was elected to the constitutional assembly of 1949, which drafted a replacement of the 1853 constitution of argentina (reinstated in 1957).he was named head of the peronist party's superior council in 1952, effectively making him the third-most powerful member of the administration (after interior minister ángel borlenghi and perón, himself).teisaire introduced the lions club into argentina in 1954, and received the german order of merit.controversy surrounding the president's in-laws and political violence both by and against his peronist movement dominated headlines in the first half of 1953, and perón took the opportunity of upcoming legislative polls to test his popularity.the argentine constitution did not require it at the time, but a special election was announced to replace the late vice president, hortensio quijano, and perón nominated teisaire as his candidate for the post.the april 1954 elections increased the peronists' overwhelming majority in congress and elected teisaire vice president by a 30% margin of victory.following this success, perón began to dispense with his hitherto warm relations with the catholic church by banning a number of their organizations and periodicals, and with the unprecedented, december 22 legalization of divorce and prostitution.the vice president supported these moves, arguing that argentina's catholic majority were mostly non-practicing and, by extension, probably amenable to perón's push to limit their influence.the miscalculation proved fateful, however.the dispute damaged teisaire's influence among the largely conservative catholic navy commanders, who spitefully referred to the vice president as 'that freemason,' and soon destroyed military loyalty for the administration itself.a series of violent confrontations from june to september 1955 ended with perón's september 19 resignation and exile.his 'confession' was produced into a 12-minute propaganda film by the revolución libertadora, which ordered the footage shown in all movie theatres.","alberto teisaire | profession | rear admiral in the argentine navy","alberto teisaire (20 may 1891 – 11 september 1963) was an argentine naval

loss.on 23 may 2016, iraqi forces announced the beginning of their attempt to retake fallujah from is.on 26 june 2016 the city was declared fully liberated by the iraqi army.there is evidence that the area surrounding fallujah was inhabited in babylonian times.the current name of the city is thought to come from its syriac name, pallgutha, which is derived from the word division or 'canal regulator' since it was the location where the water of the euphrates river divided into a canal.classical authors cited the name as 'pallacottas'.the name in aramaic is pumbedita.the word anbar is persian and means 'warehouse'.it was known as firuz shapur or perisapora during the sassanian era.there are extensive ruins 2 km (1 mi) north of fallujah which are identified with the town of anbar.anbar was located at the confluence of the euphrates river with the king's canal, today the saqlawiyah canal, known in early islamic times as the nahr isa and in ancient times as the nahr malka.subsequent shifts in the euphrates river channel have caused it to follow the course of the ancient pallacottas canal.the town at this site in jewish sources was known as nehardea and was the primary center of babylonian jewry until its destruction by the palmyran ruler odenathus in 259.the medieval jewish traveller benjamin of tudela in 1164 visited 'el-anbar which is pumbeditha in nehardea' and said it had 3,000 jews living there.in the spring of 1920, the british, who had gained control of iraq after the collapse of the ottoman empire, sent lieut.-colonel gerard leachman, a renowned explorer and a senior colonial officer, to meet with local leader shaykh dhari, perhaps to forgive a loan given to the sheikh.exactly what happened depends on the source, but according to the arab version, gerard leachman was betrayed by the sheikh who had his two sons shoot him in the legs, then behead him by the sword.during the brief anglo-iraqi war of 1941, the iraqi army was defeated by the british in a battle near fallujah.in 1947 the town had only about 10,000 inhabitants.it grew rapidly into a city after iraqi independence with the influx of oil wealth into the country.its position on one of the main roads out of baghdad made it of central importance.under saddam hussein, who ruled iraq from 1979 to 2003, fallujah came to be an important area of support for the regime, along with the rest of the region labeled by the us military as the 'sunni triangle'.many residents of the primarily sunni city were employees and supporters of saddam's government, and many senior ba'ath party officials were natives of the city.fallujah was heavily industrialised during the saddam era, with the construction of several large factories, including one closed down by united nations special commission (unscom) in the 1990s that may have been used to create chemical weapons.","fallujah | country | iraq","fallujah (arabic: ٱلْفَلُّوجَة, romanized: al-fallūjah, iraqi pronunciation:

country in the world, and the second-largest in the middle east.its largest cities, in descending order, are the capital tehran, mashhad, isfahan, karaj, shiraz, tabriz and ahvaz.the country is home to one of the world's oldest civilizations, beginning with the formation of the elamite kingdoms in the fourth millennium bc.it was first unified by the medes, an ancient iranian people, in the seventh century bc, and reached its territorial height in the sixth century bc, when cyrus the great founded the achaemenid persian empire, which became one of the largest empires in history and a superpower.the achaemenid empire fell to alexander the great in the fourth century bc and was subsequently divided into several hellenistic states.an iranian rebellion established the parthian empire in the third century bc, which was succeeded in the third century ad by the sassanid empire, a major world power for the next four centuries.arab muslims conquered the empire in the seventh century ad, which led to the islamization of iran.it subsequently became a major center of islamic culture and learning, with its art, literature, philosophy, and architecture spreading across the muslim world and beyond during the islamic golden age.over the next two centuries, a series of native iranian muslim dynasties emerged before the seljuk turks and the mongols conquered the region.in the 15th century, the native safavids re-established a unified iranian state and national identity, and converted the country to shia islam.under the reign of nader shah in the 18th century, iran presided over the most powerful military in the world, though by the 19th century, a series of conflicts with the russian empire led to significant territorial losses.the early 20th century saw the persian constitutional revolution.efforts to nationalize its fossil fuel supply from western companies led to an anglo-american coup in 1953, which resulted in greater autocratic rule under mohammad reza pahlavi and growing western political influence.he went on to launch a far-reaching series of reforms in 1963.after the iranian revolution, the current islamic republic was established in 1979 by ruhollah khomeini, who became the country's first supreme leader.the government of iran is an islamic theocracy that includes some elements of a presidential system, with the ultimate authority vested in an autocratic 'supreme leader' (rahbar); a position held by ali khamenei since khomeini's death in 1989.the iranian government is authoritarian, and has received criticism for its significant constraints and abuses against human rights and civil liberties, including several violent suppressions of mass protests, unfair elections, limited rights for women and for children as well as for its

war in the united states.it was fought between the union ('the north') and the confederacy ('the south'), the latter formed by states that had seceded.the central cause of the war was the dispute over whether slavery would be permitted to expand into the western territories, leading to more slave states, or be prevented from doing so, which was widely believed would place slavery on a course of ultimate extinction.decades of political controversy over slavery were brought to a head by the victory in the 1860 u.s. presidential election of abraham lincoln, who opposed slavery's expansion into the western territories.an initial seven southern slave states responded to lincoln's victory by seceding from the united states and, in february 1861, forming the confederacy.the confederacy seized u.s. forts and other federal assets within their borders.led by confederate president jefferson davis, the confederacy asserted control over about a third of the u.s. population in eleven of the 34 u.s. states that then existed.four years of intense combat, mostly in the south, ensued.during 1861–1862 in the war's western theater, the union made significant permanent gains—though in the war's eastern theater the conflict was inconclusive.the abolition of slavery became a union war goal on january 1, 1863, when lincoln issued the emancipation proclamation, which declared all slaves in states in rebellion to be free, applying to more than 3.5 million of the 4 million enslaved people in the country.to the west, the union destroyed the confederacy's river navy by the summer of 1862, then much of its western armies, and seized new orleans.the successful 1863 union siege of vicksburg split the confederacy in two at the mississippi river.in 1863, confederate general robert e. lee's incursion north ended at the battle of gettysburg.western successes led to general ulysses s. grant's command of all union armies in 1864.inflicting an ever-tightening naval blockade of confederate ports, the union marshaled resources and manpower to attack the confederacy from all directions.this led to the fall of atlanta in 1864 to union general william tecumseh sherman, followed by his march to the sea.the last significant battles raged around the ten-month siege of petersburg, gateway to the confederate capital of richmond.the confederates abandoned richmond, and on april 9, 1865, lee surrendered to grant following the battle of appomattox court house, setting in motion the end of the war.a wave of confederate surrenders followed.on april 14, just five days after lee's surrender, lincoln was assassinated.as a practical matter, the war ended with the may 26 surrender of the department of the trans-mississippi but the conclusion of the american civil war lacks a clear and precise historical end date.confederate ground forces continued surrendering past the may 26 surrender date until june 23.by the end of the war, much of the south's infrastructure was destroyed, especially its railroads.the confederacy collapsed, slavery was abolished, and four million enslaved black people were freed.the war-torn nation then entered the reconstruction era in an attempt to rebuild the country, bring the former confederate states back into the united states, and grant civil rights to freed slaves.the civil war is one of the most extensively studied and written about episodes in u.s. history.it remains the subject of cultural and historiographical debate.of particular interest is the persisting myth of the lost cause of the confederacy.the american civil war was

the union army successfully repelled the confederate invasion but suffered heavier casualties and failed to defeat lee's army outright.however, it was a significant turning point in the war in favor of the union due in large part to its political ramifications: the battle's result gave lincoln the political confidence to issue the emancipation proclamation, declaring all 'persons held as slaves within any state, or designated part of a state, the people whereof shall then be in rebellion,' as of the first of the following year, shall be 'forever free.'this effectively discouraged the british and french governments from recognizing the confederacy, as neither power wished to give the appearance of supporting slavery.emboldened by success, the confederate leadership intended to take the war into enemy territory.lee's invasion of maryland was intended to run simultaneously with an invasion of kentucky by the armies of braxton bragg and edmund kirby smith.it was also necessary for logistical reasons, as northern virginia's farms had been stripped bare of food.based on events such as the baltimore riots in the spring of 1861 and the fact that president lincoln had to pass through the city in disguise en route to his inauguration, confederate leaders assumed that maryland would welcome the confederate forces warmly.they sang the tune 'maryland, my maryland!'as they marched, but by the fall of 1862 pro-union sentiment was winning out, especially in the western parts of the state.civilians generally hid inside their houses as lee's army passed through their towns, or watched in cold silence, while the army of the potomac was cheered and encouraged.","battle of antietam | commander | robert e lee","the battle of antietam ( an-tee-təm), or battle of sharpsburg particularly in the southern united states, was a battle of the american civil war fought on september 17, 1862, between confederate gen. robert e. lee's army of northern virginia and union gen. george b. mcclellan's army of the potomac near sharpsburg, maryland, and antietam creek.after pursuing confederate gen. robert e. lee into maryland, maj. gen. george b. mcclellan of the union army launched attacks against lee's army who were in defensive positions behind antietam creek.in spite of crippling casualties, lee continued to skirmish with mcclellan throughout september 18, while removing his battered army south of the potomac river.mcclellan successfully turned lee's invasion back, making the battle a union victory, but president abraham lincoln, unhappy with mcclellan's general pattern of overcaution and his failure to pursue the retreating lee, relieved mcclellan of command in november.from a tactical standpoint, the battle was somewhat inconclusive;

and is bordered by india to the east, afghanistan to the west, iran to the southwest, and china to the northeast.it is separated narrowly from tajikistan by afghanistan's wakhan corridor in the north, and also shares a maritime border with oman.pakistan is the site of several ancient cultures, including the 8,500-year-old neolithic site of mehrgarh in balochistan, the indus valley civilisation of the bronze age, and the ancient gandhara civilisation.the regions that comprise the modern state of pakistan were the realm of multiple empires and dynasties, including the achaemenid, the maurya, the

1858 to 1947.spurred by the pakistan movement, which sought a homeland for the muslims of british india, and election victories in 1946 by the all-india muslim league, pakistan gained independence in 1947 after the partition of the british indian empire, which awarded separate statehood to its muslim-majority regions and was accompanied by an unparalleled mass migration and loss of life.initially a dominion of the british commonwealth, pakistan officially drafted its constitution in 1956, and emerged as a declared islamic republic.in 1971, the exclave of east pakistan seceded as the new country of bangladesh after a nine-month-long civil war.in the following four decades, pakistan has been ruled by governments whose descriptions, although complex, commonly alternated between civilian and military, democratic and authoritarian, relatively secular and islamist.pakistan elected a civilian government in 2008, and in 2010 adopted a parliamentary system with periodic elections.pakistan is a middle power nation, and has the world's sixth-largest standing armed forces.it is a declared nuclear-weapons state, and is ranked amongst the emerging and growth-leading economies, with a large and rapidly-growing middle class.pakistan's political history since independence has been characterised by periods of significant economic and military growth as well as those of political and

finally retreating westward across virginia.by late may 1864, only two of these continued to advance: maj. gen. william t. sherman's atlanta campaign and the overland campaign, in which grant accompanied and directly supervised the army of the potomac and its commander, maj. gen. george g. meade.grant's campaign objective was not the confederate capital of richmond, but the destruction of lee's army.president abraham lincoln had long advocated this strategy for his generals, recognizing that the city would certainly fall after the loss of its principal defensive army.grant ordered meade, 'wherever lee goes, there you will go also.'although he hoped for a quick, decisive battle, grant was prepared to fight a war of attrition.both union and confederate casualties could be high, but the union had greater resources to replace lost soldiers and equipment.on may 5, after grant's army crossed the rapidan river and entered the wilderness of spotsylvania, it was attacked by lee's army of northern virginia.although lee was outnumbered, about 60,000 to 100,000, his men fought fiercely and the dense foliage provided a terrain advantage.after two days of fighting and almost 29,000 casualties, the results were inconclusive and neither army was able to obtain an advantage.lee had stopped grant, but had not turned him back; grant had not destroyed lee's army.under similar circumstances, previous union commanders had chosen to withdraw behind the rappahannock, but grant instead ordered meade to move around lee's right flank and seize the important crossroads at spotsylvania court house to the southeast, hoping that by interposing his army between lee and richmond, he could lure the confederates into another battle on a more favorable field.elements of lee's army beat the union army to the critical crossroads of spotsylvania court house and began entrenching, a tactic that became increasingly essential for the outnumbered defenders.","battle of cold

a new heliometer had been installed there in 1850.he received the lalande medal upon his discovery of the minor planet isis.his oxford period was spent studying variable stars and other routine research.in 1854 he helped sir george airy conduct an experiment to determine the density of the earth.pogson was appointed as director at the hartwell observatory belonging to john lee in 1859.he published around fourteen papers from 1859 to 1860 in the monthly notices of the royal astronomical society, mostly on variable stars and on minor planets.sir charles wood appointed him as government astronomer for madras in october 1860.reaching india in 1861 and working at the madras observatory he worked tirelessly, discovering the asteroid 67 asia.in the next seven years he found five minor planets and seven variable stars.he continued worked on taylor's madras catalogue ('taylor's general catalogue of stars from observations made at the madras observatory during the years 1831-1842') of 11,015 stars which had been published in 1835 based on work begun in 1831 by t. g. taylor.pogson continued work on this to add 51,101 observations (until 1887) and after his death in 1891 the catalogue was revised by arthur downing and published in 1901.despite pogson's isolation he had at the time of his death discovered 134 stars, 106 variable stars, 21 possible variable stars and 7 possible supernovae.pogson also made special expeditions, observing a total solar eclipse on 18 august 1868 at masulipatnam and making spectrometric studies.he observed and commented on the spectral line associated with helium, then yet to be discovered.his most notable contribution was to note that in the stellar magnitude system introduced by the greek astronomer hipparchus, stars of the first magnitude were a hundred times as bright as stars of the sixth magnitude.pogson's suggestion in 1856 was to make this a standard; thus, a first magnitude star is 1001/5 or about 2.512 times as bright as a second magnitude star.this fifth root of 100 is known as pogson's ratio.the magnitude relation is given as follows: m1 - m2 = -2.5 log10 (l1 / l2)where m is the stellar magnitude and l is the luminosity, for stars 1 and 2.in 1868 and 1871, pogson joined the indian solar eclipse expeditions.he received a telegram from ernst friedrich wilhelm klinkerfues on 30 november 1872 which read biela touched earth on 27th.search near theta centauri, a message so esoteric that it caught the fancy of the newspapers of the time.","n r pogson | birthplace | nottingham","no related information" "aaron turner (born november 5, 1977) is an american musician, singer, graphic artist, and founder of label hydra head records.he is most widely known for his role as guitarist and vocalist for the post-metal bands sumac and isis, while also participating in several other bands and projects such as old man gloom, lotus eaters and split cranium, a collaboration with jussi lehtisalo of finnish band circle who toured with isis in 2009.raised in new mexico, turner moved to the boston area, where he attended art school and formed isis and hydra head.in june 2003, turner moved operations of both the band and label to los angeles, california.turner now resides in vashon, wa which is also the base of operations for hydra head and his various other activities.in partnership with his wife faith coloccia, turner founded another record label, sige, in march 2011.it has gone on to release material from his musical collaboration with coloccia, mamiffer.sige is distributed by the business.at an early age, his family moved to new mexico, where he was raised.his mother was a teacher 'who taught a progressive curriculum' and his father an author, 'mainly [of] non-fiction'.turner describes his upbringing, surrounded by his parents' writer, artist and photographer friends, as 'creatively nurturing'.at age 17, he started a company that sold rare punk rock records via mail-order.he later moved to boston to attend art school at the school of the museum of fine arts, and in 1995 began releasing music.by 1997, the hydra head label was becoming a respectable small record label.turner describes his early industriousness as being motivated in part by boredom: i grew up in new mexico, and there wasn't a whole lot as far as youth culture is concerned.especially when i started to get interested in straight edge and wasn't doing drugs anymore, there was really nothing for me to do.so that was like a big reason for me, i suppose, to become really productive.also, i've never been a really social person.so there's not a lot of time taken up by my social life.and music has always been a very very big part of my life.i guess just a combination of those factors is why everything got started so early.around 1997–99, turner was living with future isis bassist and co-founder jeff caxide; until this point, he had been a member of the bands union suit and hollomen.isis was formed in 1997 out of a dissatisfaction with said bands' musical direction and turner and caxide's respective degrees of creative control.in mid-2009, turner moved from los angeles, where both isis and hydra head records were based at the time, to seattle with his then-girlfriend, faith coloccia; they went on to wed in september of the same year.he has also acquired a custom guitar from the electrical guitar company (as did fellow isis guitarist michael gallagher).in the past, turner has also used a gibson les paul standard, prs ce24, and has played through sunn, mesa boogie, and mackie amplifiers.when playing with isis, turner and his fellow guitarists usually tuned their instruments (low to high) b-f#-b-e-g#-b, to achieve a heavier sound.they also used other tunings, though less frequently, such as f# (octave below)-f#-b-e-g#-b.in 2016, turner described the live rig he used with sumac as consisting of two custom-built guitars from the electrical guitar company.both have lucite bodies and aluminum necks, and custom-wound wide frequency range pickups.the newer of the two—a prototype for a signature model—has a slightly flatter fingerboard radius than the older instrument.","aaron turner | genre | progressive metal","no related information" "albany ( awl-bə-nee) is a city in the u.s. state of georgia.located on the flint river, it is the seat of dougherty county, and is the sole incorporated city in that county.located in southwest georgia, it is the principal city of the albany, georgia metropolitan area.the population was 77,434 at the 2010 u.s. census, making it the eighth-largest city in the state.it became prominent in the nineteenth century as a shipping and market center, first served by riverboats.scheduled steamboats connected albany with the busy port of apalachicola, florida.they were replaced by railroads.seven lines met in albany, and it was a center of trade in the southeast.it is part of the black belt, the extensive area in the deep south of cotton plantations.from the mid-20th century, it received military investment during world war ii and after, that helped develop the region.albany and this area were prominent during the civil rights era, particularly during the early 1960s as activists worked to regain voting and other civil rights.railroad restructuring and reduction in the military here caused job losses, but the city has developed new businesses.they used it for making arrowheads and other tools.in 1830 congress passed the indian removal act, and the united states made treaties to extinguish creek and other native american land claims in the southeast.the us army forcibly removed most of the native peoples to indian territory, lands west of the mississippi river.tift and his colleagues named the new town albany after the capital of new york;

in 1848, they bought a claim of 320 acres (1.3 km2) from hiram smead for $400 and a horse; they plotted out 60 acres (240,000 m2) for the town site.they named the city 'albany' after their hometown of albany in new york.during the same period, hackleman's son abram reached his father's original land claim and built a log house in an oak grove still known as hackleman's grove.he later built a house, which still stands at the corner of fifth and jackson.the small settlement that formed on the hackleman land became known as the community of takenah in 1849.during this early period, the monteith and hackleman families were literally and politically on opposite sides of the fence.residents in the monteiths' portion of town were mainly merchants and professionals, who aligned with the republican party.they tended to sympathize with the union during the civil war.the residents in hackleman's portion of town to the east were made up mostly of working-class democrats who sided with the confederacy.the two sides planted a hedge near baker street separating their sides of town.with help from samuel althouse, the monteiths built the first frame house in albany in 1849.","albany oregon | ispartof | united states","as of the 2020 united states census, the population of albany, oregon was 56,472.albany has a home rule charter, a council–manager government, and a full-time unelected city manager."

38,402 seater stadio marcantonio bentegodi stadium with its cross-town rivals hellas verona.following the club's exclusion from professional football in 2021, chievo is solely running as a youth team for the current 2021–22 season.the club was excluded from professional football because of financial problems.initially the club was not officially affiliated to the italian football federation (figc), but nonetheless played several amateur tournament and friendly matches under the denomination o.n.d.chievo, a title imposed by the fascist regime.the club's formal debut in an official league was on 8 november 1931.the team colours at the time were blue and white.chievo disbanded in 1936, however, due to economic woes but returned to play in 1948 after world war ii, being registered in the regional league of seconda divisionecode: ita promoted to code: it (second division).in 1957, the team moved to the field 'carlantonio bottagisio', where they played until 1986.in 1959, after the restructuring of the football leagues, chievo was admitted to play the seconda categoria (second category), a regional league placed next-to-last in the italian football pyramid.that year, chievo changed its name to cardi chievo, after a new sponsor, and was quickly promoted to the prima categoria, from which it experienced its first-ever relegation in 1962.under campedelli's presidency, chievo climbed through the entire italian football pyramid, reaching the serie d after the 1974–75 season.under the name 'paluani chievo', the team was promoted to serie c2 in 1986.as a consequence of promotion, chievo was forced to move to the stadio marcantonio bentegodi, the main venue in verona; another promotion, to serie c1, followed in 1989.in 1990, the team changed its name to its current one, 'a.c.chievoverona.'in 1992, president luigi campedelli, who had returned at the helm of the club two years before, died of a heart attack, and his son luca campedelli, aged just 23, became the new and youngest chairman of an italian professional football club.campedelli promoted giovanni sartori to director of football and named alberto malesani as the new head coach.under malesani, the team astonishingly won the serie c1 and was promoted to serie b, where city rival hellas verona was playing at the time.in 1997, after malesani signed for fiorentina, silvio baldini was appointed the new head coach.the following season, with domenico caso as the coach, saw the first dismissal of a coach during the presidency of luca campedelli, with caso being fired and replaced with lorenzo balestro.it was during these years that the nickname 'mussi volanti' ('flying donkeys') was born.it originated from supporters of their crosstown rivals hellas, who would mock long-suffering chievo supporters that chievo will only be promoted if 'donkeys could fly' (equivalent of the english language falsism 'if pigs could fly', denoting an impossible dream).in 2000–01, luigi delneri was signed as coach and led chievo, by virtue of its third-place finish in serie b, to promotion to serie a, the first time in team history that it had reached the top tier of italian football.however, they became the surprise team in the league, playing often spectacular and entertaining football and even leading the league for six consecutive weeks.the club finally ended the season with a highly respectable fifth-place finish, qualifying the team to play in the uefa cup.","ac chievo verona | manager | rolando maran","no related information" "agustín pío barboza (5 may 1913 – 18 december 1998)

land to madison county on the condition that the county seat be moved from pendleton to anderson.john berry laid out the first plat of anderson on november 7, 1827.in 1828 the seat of justice was moved from pendleton to anderson.the city is named for chief william 'adam' anderson, whose mother was lenape and whose father was of swedish descent.chief anderson's name in lenape was kikthawenund, meaning 'creaking boughs'.the lenape village was known as 'anderson's town', though the moravian missionaries called it 'the heathen town four miles away'.anderson was also known as 'andersonton' before being formally organized as anderson.introduction of internal improvements by the mammoth internal improvement act caused a growth in the population in 1837.in december 1838, anderson was incorporated as a town with 350 inhabitants.the central canal, a branch of the wabash and erie canal, was planned to come through anderson.work continued on the canal during 1838 and the beginning of 1839, but the work was soon suspended by the state following effects of the panic of 1837.the town again became a sleepy village until 1849, when it was incorporated a second time as a town.many new commercial ventures located around the courthouse square.this incorporation was short-lived, and anderson once again went back to village status in 1852.however, with the completion of the indianapolis bellefontaine railroad, as well as their station in 1852, anderson burst to life.the third incorporation of anderson as a town occurred on june 9, 1853.the population continued to increase.on august 28, 1865, with a population of nearly 1,300 people, anderson was incorporated as a city.between 1853 and the late 19th century, twenty industries of various sizes located there.on march 31, 1887, natural gas was discovered in anderson.as the indiana gas boom began, this discovery led new businesses that could use natural gas, such as glass-making, to move to the city.anderson grew to such proportions that a cincinnati newspaper editor labeled the city 'the pittsburgh on white river'.other appellations were 'queen city of the gas belt' and (because of the vulcanizing and rubber tire manufacturing business) 'puncture proof city'.in 1897 the interurban railroad was born in anderson.charles henry, a large stock holder, coined the term 'interurban' in 1893.it continued to operate until 1941.the year 1912 spelled disaster for anderson: the natural gas ran out.the city had left its gas-powered lights on day and night, and there are stories of a pocket of natural gas being lit in the river and burning for a prolonged period for the spectacle of it.the result of the loss of natural gas was that several factories moved out.the whole city slowed down.the commercial club (formed on november 18, 1905) was the forerunner of the present chamber of commerce.this club persuaded the remy brothers to stay in anderson and others to locate there.for decades, delco remy and guide lamp (later fisher guide), which during world war ii built the m3 submachine gun and the fp-45 liberator pistol for the allies, were the top two employers in the city.","anderson indiana |

"antioch is the third-largest city in contra costa county, california, united states.the city is located in the east bay region of the san francisco bay area along the sacramento–san joaquin river delta.the city's population was 115,291 at the 2020 census.the city has grown substantially more diverse since the 1970s.the town has been variously named east antioch, smith's landing, and marsh's landing, prior to its current name.in 1848, john marsh, owner of rancho los méganos, one of the largest ranches in california, built a landing on the san joaquin river in what is now antioch.it became known as marsh's landing, and was the shipping point for the 17,000-acre (69 km2) rancho.it included a pier extending well out into the river, enabling vessels drawing 15 feet (4.6 m) of water to tie up there in any season of the year.the landing also included a slaughterhouse, a smokehouse for curing hams, rodeo grounds, and a 1+1⁄2-story dwelling, embellished with fretwork, that was brought around the horn to serve as a home for the mayordomo and his wife.in 1849, twin brothers rev.william wiggins smith and rev.joseph horton smith sailed from boston, purchased land from john marsh and founded a town slightly west of marsh's landing, and named it smith's landing.during the town picnic on july 4, 1851, william, the town's new minister, persuaded the residents to change the name of the town to antioch, for the biblical city of antioch, 'in as much as the first settlers were disciples of christ, and one of them had died and was buried on the land, that it be given a bible name in his honor, and suggested 'antioch' (an ancient syrian town where two important rivers meet and where the followers of christ were first called christians), and by united acclamation it was so christened.'around 1859, coal was discovered in several places in the hills south of antioch, and coal mining formed the first substantial business apart from farming and dairying for the inhabitants of this community.this new industry resulted in the founding of the towns of nortonville, somersville, stewartville, and black diamond (now pittsburg), and added greatly to the economic activity of the antioch area.the empire coal company was formed by john c. rouse and george hawxhurst in 1876, which built a railroad that passed from antioch toward the mines over what is now 'f street' (formerly kimball street).however, later on, both the mine and the railroad passed into the hands of the belshaw brothers.the mines have long since ceased operation, and the railroad tracks have been dug up, though the building that served as the antioch terminus of the railroad still stands on the corner of f street and fourth street, and the grading and trestles still remain much as they were in those early days.in 1863, a great excitement arose over the discovery of copper ore near antioch.smelting works were built at antioch, and the ore fetched $15 to $25 per ton.the copper bubble eventually burst, to the dismay of the citizens, and petroleum was first drilled for near antioch in 1865, but not enough oil was found to make a decent profit.the antioch post office was opened in 1851, closed in 1852, reopened in 1855, closed again in 1862, and has operated continuously since reopening in 1863.the city of antioch was incorporated in 1872.the antioch ledger was first issued on march 10, 1870.to commemorate the paper's formation, a copy of its first issue has been framed and hangs over the desk of the present editor.","antioch california | areacode | 925","no related

in the state of texas, and the largest city in the state that is not a county seat.arlington is home to the university of texas at arlington, a major urban research university, the arlington assembly plant used by general motors, the nuclear regulatory commission region iv, texas health resources, mensa international, and d. r. horton.additionally, arlington hosts the texas rangers at globe life field, the dallas cowboys at at&t stadium, the arlington renegades at choctaw stadium, the dallas wings at college park center, the international bowling campus (which houses the united states bowling congress, international bowling museum and the international bowling hall of fame), and the theme parks six flags over texas (the original six flags) and hurricane harbor.after the may 24, 1841 battle between texas general edward h. tarrant and native americans of the village creek settlement, a trading post was established at marrow bone spring in present-day arlington (historical marker at 32°42.136′n 97°6.772′w).the rich soil of the area attracted farmers, and several agriculture-related businesses were well established by the late nineteenth century.arlington was founded in 1876 along the texas and pacific railway.named after general robert e. lee's arlington house in arlington county, virginia., arlington grew as a cotton-ginning and farming center, and incorporated on april 21, 1884.the city could boast of water, electricity, natural gas, and telephone services by 1910, along with a public school system.from 1892 until 1951, a mineral well drilled exactly in the middle of downtown arlington, texas, was a key reason to visit the town.the water was part of the city's brand, also serving as a meeting point for everything from prohibition to the right of women to vote.the well has been paved over.in the 1920s and 1930s, life in arlington was bustling with controversy and entertainment.in the early 1920s, a tea room known as 'top o' hill terrace' opened up along the now-defunct bankhead highway to serve dinner and tea to guests traveling through dallas and fort worth.ownership changed in the late 1920s and shortly thereafter the facilities were secretly converted into casinos and a speakeasy.known by historians as 'vegas before vegas,' escape tunnels and secret rooms were constructed to hide the illegal gambling during police raids.however, the restaurant portion of the facility still existed as a legitimate business and a front.by 1925 the city's population was estimated at 3,031—well under the population of dallas and fort worth at the time.in 1929, a horse-racing track called arlington downs was constructed by w.t.waggoner and brian nyantika close by to the speakeasy.gambling was still illegal, but people were making bets regardless.waggoner and his sons campaigned to make parimutuel betting legal, and in 1933 the state issued its first legal gambling permit to arlington downs.the track was immensely profitable at that point, making a daily average of $113,000 before inflation with a daily attendance average of 6,700 people.at the end of the 1937 season, the state legislature repealed their parimutuel gambling laws, and the downs were

english: 'the atlantic sea'; etym.'sea of atlas') and in the histories of herodotus around 450 bc (hdt.1.202.4): atlantis thalassa (greek: ἀτλαντὶς θάλασσα; english: 'sea of atlas' or 'the atlantic sea') where the name refers to 'the sea beyond the pillars of heracles' which is said to be part of the sea that surrounds all land.in these uses, the name refers to atlas, the titan in greek mythology, who supported the heavens and who later appeared as a frontispiece in medieval maps and also lent his name to modern atlases.on the other hand, to early greek sailors and in ancient greek mythological literature such as the iliad and the odyssey, this all-encompassing ocean was instead known as oceanus, the gigantic river that encircled the world; in contrast to the enclosed seas well known to the greeks: the mediterranean and the black sea.in contrast, the term 'atlantic' originally referred specifically to the atlas mountains in morocco and the sea off the strait of gibraltar and the north african coast.the greek word thalassa has been reused by scientists for the huge panthalassa ocean that surrounded the supercontinent pangaea hundreds of millions of years ago.the term 'aethiopian ocean', derived from ancient ethiopia, was applied to the southern atlantic as late as the mid-19th century.during the age of discovery, the atlantic was also known to english cartographers as the great western ocean.the pond is a term often used by british and american speakers in reference to the northern atlantic ocean, as a form of meiosis, or ironic understatement.it is used mostly when referring to events or circumstances 'on this side of the pond' or 'on the other side of the pond', rather than to discuss the ocean itself.","atlanta | leader | kasim reed","no related information" "akron () is the fifth-largest city in the u.s. state of ohio and is the county seat of summit county.it is located on the western edge of the glaciated allegheny plateau, about 40 miles (64 km) south of downtown cleveland.at the 2020 census, the city proper had a total population of 190,469, making it the 125th largest city in the united states.the akron metropolitan area, covering summit and portage counties, had an estimated population of 703,505.the city was founded by simon perkins and paul williams in 1825 along the little cuyahoga river at the summit of the developing ohio and erie canal.the name is derived from the ancient greek word ἄκρον : ákron signifying a summit or high point.it was briefly renamed south akron after eliakim crosby founded nearby north akron in 1833, until both merged into an incorporated village in 1836.in the 1910s, akron doubled in population, making it the nation's fastest-growing city.a long history of rubber and tire manufacturing, carried on today by the goodyear tire and rubber company, gave akron the nickname 'rubber capital of the world'.it was once known as a center of airship development.today, its economy includes manufacturing, education, healthcare, and biomedical research;

"gubbio (italian pronunciation: [ˈgubbjo]) is an italian town and comune in the far northeastern part of the italian province of perugia (umbria).it is located on the lowest slope of mt.ingino, a small mountain of the apennines.the hills above the town were already occupied in the bronze age.as ikuvium, it was an important town of the umbri in pre-roman times, made famous for the discovery there in 1444 of the iguvine tablets, a set of bronze tablets that together constitute the largest surviving text in the umbrian language.after the roman conquest in the 2nd century bc – it kept its name as iguvium – the city remained important, as attested by its roman theatre, the second-largest surviving in the world.gubbio became very powerful in the beginning of the middle ages.the town sent 1000 knights to fight in the first crusade under the lead of girolamo of the prominent gabrielli family, who according to an undocumented local tradition, they were the first to reach the church of the holy sepulchre when jerusalem was seized (1099).the following centuries in gubbio were turbulent, featuring wars against the neighboring towns of umbria.one of these wars saw the miraculous intervention of its bishop, ubald, who secured gubbio an overwhelming victory (1151) and a period of prosperity.in the struggles of guelphs and ghibellines, the gabrielli, such as the condottiero cante dei gabrielli (c. 1260–1335), fought for the guelph faction, supporting the papacy.as podestà of florence, cante exiled dante alighieri, ensuring his own lasting notoriety.in 1350 giovanni gabrielli, count of borgovalle seized power as the lord of gubbio.his rule was short, and he was forced to hand over the town to cardinal gil álvarez carrillo de albornoz, representing the papal states (1354).a few years later, gabriello gabrielli, the bishop of gubbio, also proclaimed himself lord of gubbio (signor d'agobbio).betrayed by a group of noblemen which included many of his relatives, the bishop was forced to leave the town and seek refuge at his home castle at cantiano.with the decline of the political prestige of the gabrielli, gubbio was thereafter incorporated into the territories of the house of montefeltro.the lord of urbino, federico da montefeltro rebuilt the ancient palazzo ducale in gubbio, incorporating in it a studiolo veneered with intarsia like his studiolo at urbino.the maiolica industry at gubbio reached its apogee in the first half of the 16th century, with metallic lustre glazes imitating gold and copper.gubbio became part of the papal states in 1631, when the della rovere family, to whom the duchy of urbino had been granted, was extinguished.in 1860 gubbio was incorporated into the kingdom of italy along with the rest of the papal states.the name of the pamphili family, a great papal family, originated in gubbio then went to rome under the pontificate of pope innocent viii (1484–1492), and is immortalized by diego velázquez and his portrait of pope innocent x.the municipality borders cagli (pu), cantiano (pu), costacciaro, fossato di vico, gualdo tadino, perugia, pietralunga, scheggia e pascelupo, sigillo, umbertide and valfabbrica.many houses in central gubbio date to the 14th and 15th centuries, and were originally the dwellings of wealthy merchants.they often have a second door fronting on the street, usually just a few inches from the main entrance.this secondary entrance is narrower, and a foot or so above the actual street level.this type of door is called a porta dei morti (door of the dead) because it was proposed that they were used to remove the bodies of any who might have died inside the house.","gubbio | region | umbria","gubbio (italian pronunciation: [ˈgubbjo]) is an italian town and comune in the far northeastern part of the italian province of perugia (umbria).the following centuries in gubbio were turbulent, featuring wars against the neighboring towns of umbria." "hip hop music or hip-hop music, also known as rap music and formerly known as disco rap, is a genre of popular music that originated in the bronx borough of new york city in the early 1970s by african americans, and it had been around for years prior before mainstream discovery.this genre of music originated as anti-drug and anti-violence, while consisting of stylized rhythmic music (usually built around drum beats) that commonly accompanies rapping, a rhythmic and rhyming speech that is chanted.according to the professor asante of african american studies at temple university, 'hip hop is something that blacks can unequivocally claim as their own'.it was developed as part of hip hop culture, a subculture defined by four key stylistic elements: mcing/rapping, djing/scratching with turntables, break dancing, and graffiti art.other elements include sampling beats or bass lines from records (or synthesized beats and sounds), and rhythmic beatboxing.while often used to refer solely to rapping, 'hip hop' more properly denotes the practice of the entire subculture.the term hip hop music is sometimes used synonymously with the term rap music, though rapping is not a required component of hip hop music; the genre may also incorporate other elements of hip hop culture, including djing, turntablism, scratching, beatboxing, and instrumental tracks.hip hop as both a musical genre and a culture was formed during the 1970s when block parties became increasingly popular in new york city, particularly among african american youth residing in the bronx.at block parties, djs played percussive breaks of popular songs using two turntables and a dj mixer to be able to play breaks from two copies of the same record, alternating from one to the other and extending the 'break'.hip hop's early evolution occurred as sampling technology and drum machines became widely available and affordable.turntablist techniques such as scratching and beatmatching developed along with the breaks.rapping developed as a vocal style in which the artist speaks or chants along rhythmically with an instrumental or synthesized beat.hip hop music was not officially recorded for play on radio or television until 1979, largely due to poverty during the genre's birth and lack of acceptance outside ghetto neighborhoods.old school hip hop was the first mainstream wave of the genre, marked by its disco influence and party-oriented lyrics.the 1980s marked the diversification of hip hop as the genre developed more complex styles and spread around the world.new school hip hop was the genre's second wave, marked by its electro sound, and led into golden age hip hop, an innovative period between the mid-1980s and mid-1990s that also developed hip hop's own album era.the gangsta rap subgenre, focused on the violent lifestyles and impoverished conditions of inner-city african american youth, gained popularity at this time.west coast hip hop was dominated by g-funk in the early-mid 1990s, while east coast hip hop was dominated by jazz rap, alternative hip hop, and hardcore hip hop.hip hop continued to diversify at this time with other regional styles emerging, such as southern rap and atlanta hip hop.hip hop became a best-selling genre in the mid-1990s and the top-selling music genre by 1999.the popularity of hip hop music continued through the late 1990s to early-2000s 'bling era' with hip hop influences increasingly finding their way into other genres of popular music, such as neo soul, nu metal, and r&b.the united states also saw the success of regional styles such as crunk, a southern genre that emphasized the beats and music more than the lyrics, and alternative hip hop began to secure a place in the mainstream, due in part to the crossover success of its artists.","hip hop music | stylisticorigin | funk","west coast hip hop was dominated by g-funk in the early-mid 1990s, while east coast hip hop was dominated by jazz rap, alternative hip hop, and hardcore hip hop." "dekalb county (, də-kab, dee-kab) is located in the north central portion of the u.s. state of georgia.as of the 2020 census, the population was 764,382, making it georgia's fourth-most populous county.its county seat is decatur.dekalb county is included in the atlanta-sandy springs-roswell, ga metropolitan statistical area.it contains roughly 10% of the city of atlanta (the other 90% lies in fulton county).stonecrest is the largest city that is entirely within the county.dekalb is primarily a suburban county.in 2009, dekalb earned the atlanta regional commission's 'green communities' designation for its efforts in conserving energy, water and fuel, investing in renewable energy, reducing waste, and protecting and restoring natural resources.in 2021, the non-profit american rivers named dekalb's south river the fourth-most endangered river in the united states, citing 'the egregious threat that ongoing sewage pollution poses to clean water and public health.'in recent years, some communities in north dekalb have incorporated, following a trend in other suburban areas around metro atlanta.dunwoody and brookhaven are now the largest cities that are entirely contained within the county.dekalb county, formed in 1822 from henry, gwinnett and fayette counties, took its name from baron johann de kalb (1721-1780), a bavarian-born former officer in the french army, who fought for the continental army in the american revolutionary war.the oldest existing house in the county is the 1831 goodwin house along peachtree road in brookhaven.much of the area was forested; a section of old-growth forest is preserved at fernbank forest.in 1853, fulton county formed from the western half of dekalb, divided along a perfectly straight and due north–south line down the middle (along which moreland avenue now runs).until this time, the growing city of atlanta had been inside dekalb.atlanta grew because the city of decatur did not want to become the railroad terminus in the 1830s, thus a spot at the thrasherville encampment in western dekalb was picked to become terminus and then marthasville, before becoming atlanta a few years after its founding.north and southwest fulton came from two other counties: milton and southeast campbell, respectively.dekalb once extended slightly further north to the chattahoochee river, but this strip was later given to milton, and is now the panhandle of sandy springs.during the civil war, much of the battle of atlanta took place in dekalb.until the 1960s, dekalb was a mainly agricultural county, but as the sprawl of the metropolitan atlanta region expanded, dekalb became increasingly urbanized.finished in 1969, the eastern half of the interstate 285 beltway, called 'the perimeter', ringed the northeastern and southern edges of the county, placing most of it 'inside the perimeter' along with nearly all of atlanta.interstate 675 and georgia 400 were originally planned to connect inside the perimeter, along with the stone mountain freeway (u.s. highway 78) connecting with the downtown connector (a co-signment of i-75/i-85) near moreland avenue, destroying many neighborhoods in western dekalb, but community opposition in the early 1970s spared them this fate of urbanization, although part of the proposed stone mountain tollway later became the freedom parkway.only interstate 20 and interstate 85 were successfully built through the county.dekalb also became one of only two counties to approve marta rapid transit in the 1970s; the county now contains the east and northeast heavy rail lines.in april 2018, more than 350 bus drivers for dekalb county school district went on strike over low pay and poor working conditions, resulting in seven bus drivers being fired.the dekalb county seal was created in 1967, by artist jackson bailey.the design is based on a passage from aristotle in which a comparison is made between human progress and the relay race.","dekalb county georgia | largestcity | dunwoody georgia","dekalb county (, də-kab, dee-kab) is located in the north central portion of the u.s. state of georgia.as of the 2020 census, the population was 764,382, making it georgia's fourth-most populous county.dunwoody and brookhaven are now the largest cities that are entirely contained within the county.interstate 675 and georgia 400 were originally planned to connect inside the perimeter, along with the stone mountain freeway (u.s. highway 78) connecting with the downtown connector (a co-signment of i-75/i-85) near moreland avenue, destroying many neighborhoods in western dekalb, but community opposition in the early 1970s spared them this fate of urbanization, although part of the proposed stone mountain tollway later became the freedom parkway." "indie rock is a subgenre of rock music that originated in the united states, united kingdom and new zealand from the 1970s to the 1980s.originally used to describe independent record labels, the term became associated with the music they produced and was initially used interchangeably with alternative rock or 'guitar pop rock'.in the 1980s, the use of the term 'indie' (or 'indie pop') started to shift from its reference to recording companies to describe the style of music produced on punk and post-punk labels.during the 1990s, grunge and punk revival bands in the us and britpop bands in the uk broke into the mainstream, and the term 'alternative' lost its original counter-cultural meaning.the term 'indie rock' became associated with the bands and genres that remained dedicated to their independent status.by the end of the 1990s, indie rock developed several subgenres and related styles, including lo-fi, noise pop, emo, slowcore, post-rock, and math rock.in the early 2000s, a new group of bands that played a stripped-down, back-to-basics version of guitar rock emerged into the mainstream.the commercial breakthrough from these scenes was led by four bands: the strokes, the white stripes, the hives and the vines.emo also broke into mainstream culture in the early 2000s.by the end of the decade, the proliferation of indie bands was being referred to as an 'indie

meaningfulness as a term.although distribution deals are often struck with major corporate companies, these labels and the bands they host have attempted to retain their autonomy, leaving them free to explore sounds, emotions and subjects of limited appeal to large, mainstream audiences.the influences and styles of the artists have been extremely diverse, including punk, psychedelia, post-punk and country.the terms 'alternative rock' and 'indie rock' were used interchangeably in the 1980s, but after many alternative bands followed nirvana into the mainstream in the early 1990s, 'indie rock' began to be used to describe those bands, working in a variety of styles, that did not pursue or achieve commercial success.aesthetically speaking, indie rock is characterized as having a careful balance of pop accessibility with noise, experimentation with pop music formulae, sensitive lyrics masked by ironic posturing, a concern with authenticity, and the depiction of a simple guy or girl.allmusic identifies indie rock as including a number of 'varying musical approaches [not] compatible with mainstream tastes'.linked by an ethos more than a musical approach, the indie rock

fortified town').their territory extended across the fertile lowland of what is now salford and stretford.following the roman conquest of britain in the 1st century, general agricola ordered the construction of a fort named mamucium in the year 79 to ensure that roman interests in deva victrix (chester) and eboracum (york) were protected from the brigantes.","manchester | ispartof | greater manchester","manchester ( listen) is a city and metropolitan borough in the county of greater manchester, england.the two cities and the surrounding towns form one of the united kingdom's most populous conurbations, the greater manchester built-up area, which has a population of 2.87 million.the history of manchester began with the civilian settlement associated with the roman fort (castra) of mamucium or mancunium, established in about ad 79 on a sandstone bluff near the confluence of the rivers medlock and irwell.historically part of lancashire, areas of cheshire south of the river mersey were incorporated into manchester in the 20th century, including wythenshawe in 1931.throughout the middle ages manchester remained a manorial township, but began to expand 'at an astonishing rate' around the turn of the 19th century.manchester's unplanned urbanisation was brought on by a boom in textile manufacture during the industrial revolution, and resulted in it becoming the world's first industrialised city.manchester achieved city status in 1853.the manchester ship canal opened in 1894, creating the port of manchester and linking the city to the irish sea, 36 miles (58 km) to the west.following considerable redevelopment, manchester was the host city for the 2002 commonwealth games.manchester liverpool road railway station was the world's first inter-city passenger railway station.at the university of manchester, ernest rutherford first split the atom in 1917, frederic c. williams, tom kilburn and geoff tootill developed the world's first stored-program computer in 1948, and andre geim and konstantin novoselov first isolated graphene in 2004.this urban area is cutoff by the m60 aka the manchester outer ring road which runs in a circular around the city and these areas."

the recording can be heard on the vaughan williams memorial library website.various gospel, blues and swing recordings used the phrase before it became widely popular; it was used in 1940s recordings and reviews of what became known as 'rhythm and blues' music aimed at a black audience.in 1934, the song 'rock and roll' by the boswell sisters appeared in the film transatlantic merry-go-round.in 1942, before the concept of rock and roll had been defined, billboard magazine columnist maurie orodenker started to use the term to describe upbeat recordings such as 'rock me' by sister rosetta tharpe; her style on that recording was described as 'rock-and-roll spiritual singing'.by 1943, the 'rock and roll inn' in south merchantville, new jersey, was established as a music venue.in 1951, cleveland, ohio, disc jockey alan freed began playing this music style, and referring to it as 'rock and roll' on his mainstream radio program, which popularized the phrase.several sources suggest that freed found the term, used as a synonym for sexual intercourse, on the record 'sixty minute man' by billy ward and his dominoes.the lyrics include the line, 'i rock 'em, roll 'em all night long'.freed did not acknowledge the suggestion about that source in interviews, and explained the term as follows: 'rock 'n roll is really swing with a modern name.","rock and roll | stylisticorigin | blues","it originated from african-american music such as jazz, rhythm and blues, boogie-woogie, gospel, jump blues, as well as country music.while rock and roll's formative elements can be heard in blues records from the 1920s and in country records of the 1930s, the genre did not acquire its name until 1954.according to journalist greg kot, 'rock and roll' refers to a style of popular music originating in the united states in the 1950s.a retired welsh seaman named william fender can be heard singing the phrase 'rock and roll' when describing a sexual encounter in his performance of the traditional song 'the baffled knight' to the folklorist james madison carpenter in the early 1930s, which he would have learned at sea in the 1800s;

state by population, the 11th-largest by area, and the largest by area east of the mississippi river.its capital is lansing, and its largest city is detroit.metro detroit is among the nation's most populous and largest metropolitan economies.its name derives from a gallicized variant of the original ojibwe word ᒥᓯᑲᒥ (mishigami), meaning 'large water' or 'large lake'.michigan consists of two peninsulas.the lower peninsula resembles the shape of a mitten, and comprises a majority of the state's land area.the upper peninsula (often called 'the u.p.')is separated from the lower peninsula by the straits of mackinac, a five-mile (8 km) channel that joins lake huron to lake michigan.the mackinac bridge connects the peninsulas.michigan has the longest freshwater coastline of any political subdivision in the united states, being bordered by four of the five great lakes and lake st. clair.it also has 64,980 inland lakes and ponds.michigan has the second-most water area of any state, behind only alaska.the area was first occupied by a succession of native american tribes over thousands of years.in the 17th century, french explorers claimed it as part of the new france colony, when it was largely inhabited by indigenous peoples.french and canadian traders and settlers, métis, and others migrated to the area, settling largely along the waterways.after france's defeat in the french and indian war in 1762, the region came under british rule.britain ceded the territory to the newly independent united states after its defeat in the american revolutionary war.the area was part of the larger northwest territory until 1800, when western michigan became part of the indiana territory.michigan territory was formed in 1805, but some of the northern border with canada was not agreed upon until after the war of 1812.michigan was admitted into the union in 1837 as the 26th state, a free one.it soon became an important center of industry and trade in the great lakes region, attracting immigrants in the late 19th and early 20th centuries from many european countries.immigrants from finland, macedonia, and the netherlands were especially numerous.migration from appalachia and of black southerners as part of the great migration increased in the 1930s, with many settling in metro detroit.although michigan has developed a diverse economy, in the early 20th century it became widely known as the center of the u.s. automotive industry, which developed as a major national economic force.it is home to the country's three major automobile companies (whose headquarters are all in metro detroit).once exploited for logging and mining, today the sparsely populated upper peninsula is important for tourism because of its abundance of natural resources.the lower peninsula

synthesizer pop; also called techno-pop) is a subgenre of new wave music that first became prominent in the late 1970s and features the synthesizer as the dominant musical instrument.it was prefigured in the 1960s and early 1970s by the use of synthesizers in progressive rock, electronic, art rock, disco, and particularly the krautrock of bands like kraftwerk.it arose as a distinct genre in japan and the united kingdom in the post-punk era as part of the new wave movement of the late 1970s to the mid-1980s.electronic musical synthesizers that could be used practically in a recording studio became available in the mid-1960s, and the mid-1970s saw the rise of electronic art musicians.after the breakthrough of gary numan in the uk singles chart in 1979, large numbers of artists began to enjoy success with a synthesizer-based sound in the early 1980s.in japan, yellow magic orchestra introduced the tr-808 rhythm machine to popular music, and the band would be a major influence on early british synth-pop acts.the development of inexpensive polyphonic synthesizers, the definition of midi and the use of dance beats, led to a more commercial and accessible sound for synth-pop.this, its adoption by the style-conscious acts from the new romantic movement, together with the rise of mtv, led to success for large numbers of british synth-pop acts in the us during the second british invasion.the term 'techno-pop' was coined by yuzuru agi in his critique of kraftwerk's the man-machine in 1978 and is considered a case of multiple discovery of naming.hence, the term can be used interchangeably to 'synth-pop' but generally used to the scene of japan and is a preferred term there.the term 'techno-pop' became also popular in europe, where it started: german band kraftwerk's 1986 album was titled techno pop; english band the buggles has a song named 'technopop' and spanish band mecano described their style as tecno-pop.'synth-pop' is sometimes used interchangeably with 'electropop', but 'electropop' may also denote a variant of synth-pop that places more emphasis on a harder, more electronic sound.in the mid to late 1980s, duos such as erasure and pet shop boys adopted a style that was highly successful on the us dance charts, but by the end of the decade, the 'new wave' synth-pop of bands such as a-ha and alphaville was giving way to house music and techno.interest in new wave synth-pop began to revive in the indietronica and electroclash movements in the late 1990s, and in the 2000s synth-pop enjoyed a widespread revival and commercial success.the genre has received criticism for alleged lack of emotion and musicianship; prominent artists have spoken out against detractors who believed that synthesizers themselves composed and played the songs.synth-pop music has established a place for the synthesizer as a major element of pop and rock music, directly influencing subsequent genres (including house music and detroit techno) and has indirectly influenced many other genres, as well as individual recordings.borthwick and moy have described the genre as diverse but 'characterised by a broad set of values that eschewed rock playing styles, rhythms and structures', which were replaced by 'synthetic textures' and 'robotic rigidity', often defined by the limitations of the new technology, including monophonic synthesizers (only able to play one note at a time).many synth-pop musicians had limited musical skills, relying on the technology to produce or reproduce the music.the result was often minimalist, with grooves that were 'typically woven together from simple repeated riffs often with no harmonic 'progression' to speak of'.early synth-pop has been described as 'eerie, sterile, and vaguely menacing', using droning electronics with little change in inflection.","synthpop | stylisticorigin | pop music","no related information" "orange county, often known by its initials o.c., is a county located in the

"apollo 1, initially designated as-204, was the first crewed mission of the apollo program, the american undertaking to land the first man on the moon.it was planned to launch on february 21, 1967, as the first low earth orbital test of the apollo command and service module.the mission never flew; a cabin fire during a launch rehearsal test at cape kennedy air force station launch complex 34 on january 27 killed all three crew members—command pilot gus grissom, senior pilot ed white, and pilot roger b. chaffee—and destroyed the command module (cm).the name apollo 1, chosen by the crew, was made official by nasa in their honor after the fire.immediately after the fire, nasa convened an accident review board to determine the cause of the fire, and both chambers of the united states congress conducted their own committee inquiries to oversee nasa's investigation.the ignition source of the fire was determined to be electrical, and the fire spread rapidly due to combustible nylon material and the high-pressure pure oxygen cabin atmosphere.rescue was prevented by the plug door hatch, which could not be opened against the internal pressure of the cabin.because the rocket was unfueled, the test had not been considered hazardous, and emergency preparedness for it was poor.during the congressional investigation, senator walter mondale publicly revealed a nasa internal document citing problems with prime apollo contractor north american aviation, which became known as the phillips report.this disclosure embarrassed nasa administrator james e. webb, who was unaware of the document's existence, and attracted controversy to the apollo program.despite congressional displeasure at nasa's lack of openness, both congressional committees ruled that the issues raised in the report had no bearing on the accident.crewed apollo flights were suspended for twenty months while the command module's hazards were addressed.however, the development and uncrewed testing of the lunar module (lm) and saturn v rocket continued.the saturn ib launch vehicle for apollo 1, sa-204, was used for the first lm test flight, apollo 5.the first successful crewed apollo mission was flown by apollo 1's backup crew on apollo 7 in october 1968.as-204 was to test launch operations, ground tracking and control facilities and the performance of the apollo-saturn launch assembly and would have lasted up to two weeks, depending on how the spacecraft performed.the csm for this flight, number 012 built by north american aviation (naa), was a block i version designed before the lunar orbit rendezvous landing strategy was chosen; therefore it lacked the capability of docking with the lunar module.this was incorporated into the block ii csm design, along with lessons learned in block i.block ii would be test-flown with the lm when the latter was ready.director of flight crew operations deke slayton selected the first apollo crew in january 1966, with grissom as command pilot, white as senior pilot, and rookie donn f. eisele as pilot.but eisele dislocated his shoulder twice aboard the kc-135 weightlessness training aircraft, and had to undergo surgery on january 27.slayton replaced him with chaffee, and nasa announced the crew selection on march 21, 1966.james mcdivitt, david scott and russell schweickart were named as the backup crew.on september 29, walter schirra, eisele, and walter cunningham were named as the prime crew for a second block i csm flight, as-205.nasa planned to follow this with an uncrewed test flight of the lm (as-206), then the third crewed mission would be a dual flight designated as-278 (or as-207/208), in which as-207 would launch the first crewed block ii csm, which would then rendezvous and dock with the lm launched uncrewed on as-208.in march, nasa was studying the possibility of flying the first apollo mission as a joint space rendezvous with the final project gemini mission, gemini 12 in november 1966.","apollo 8 | backup pilot | buzz aldrin","no related information" "sportcomplex de toekomst (dutch for sporting complex the future) is a sporting complex in ouder-amstel, netherlands, owned by afc ajax n.v.the complex comprises nine football fields and is located close to the johan cruyff arena.its main field has seating capacity for 2,000 people.the facility serves as the home grounds of ajax women, which competes in the eredivisie vrouwen, the reserves team jong ajax, which competes in the eerste divisie, as well as ajax amateurs, which competes in the derde divisie.de toekomst also serves as the training grounds for the first team of ajax as well as for the ajax youth academy;

viceroyalty of new spain.the area became a part of mexico in 1821, following its successful war for independence, but was ceded to the united states in 1848 after the mexican–american war.the california gold rush started in 1848 and led to dramatic social and demographic changes.the western portion of alta california was then organized and admitted as the 31st state on september 9, 1850 as a free state, following the compromise of 1850. notable contributions to popular culture, ranging from entertainment, sports, music, and fashion, have their origins in california.the state also has made substantial contributions in the fields of communication, information, innovation, education, environmentalism, entertainment, economics, politics, technology, and religion.california is the home of hollywood, the oldest and the largest film industry in the world, profoundly influencing global entertainment.it is considered the origin of the american film industry, hippie counterculture, beach and car culture, the personal computer, the internet, fast food, diners, burger joints, skateboarding, and the fortune cookie, among other inventions.many full-service restaurants were also invented in the state.the state is also notable for being home to many amusement parks, including disneyland, six flags magic mountain, knott's berry farm, and universal studios hollywood.","california |

comprise the national bicameral legislature of the united states.the house's composition was established by article one of the united states constitution.the house is composed of representatives who, pursuant to the uniform congressional district act, sit in single member congressional districts allocated to each state on the basis of population as measured by the united states census, with each district having one representative, provided that each state is entitled to at least one.since its inception in 1789, all representatives have been directly elected, although universal suffrage did not come to effect until after the passage of the 19th amendment and the civil rights movement.since 1913, the number of voting representatives has been at 435 pursuant to the apportionment act of 1911.the reapportionment act of 1929 capped the size of the house at 435.however, the number was temporarily increased in 1959 until 1963 to 437 when alaska and hawaii were admitted to the union.in addition, five non-voting delegates represent the district of columbia and the u.s. territories of guam, the u.s. virgin islands, the commonwealth of the northern mariana islands, and american samoa.a non-voting resident commissioner, serving a four-year term, represents the commonwealth of puerto rico.as of the 2020 census, the largest delegation was california, with 52 representatives.six states have only one representative: alaska, delaware, north dakota, south dakota, vermont, and wyoming.the house is charged with the passage of federal legislation, known as bills; those that are also passed by the senate are sent to the president for consideration.the house also has exclusive powers: it initiates all revenue bills, impeaches federal officers, and elects the president if no candidate receives a majority of votes in the electoral college.the house meets in the south wing of the united states capitol.the presiding officer is the speaker of the house, who is elected by the members thereof.other floor leaders are chosen by the democratic caucus or the republican conference, depending on whichever party has more voting members.after eight years of a more limited confederal government under the articles, numerous political leaders such as james madison and alexander hamilton initiated the constitutional convention in 1787, which received the confederation congress's sanction to 'amend the articles of confederation'.all states except rhode island agreed to send delegates.congress's structure was a contentious issue among the founders during the convention.edmund randolph's virginia plan called for a bicameral congress: the lower house would be 'of the people', elected directly by the people of the united states and representing public opinion, and a more deliberative upper house, elected by the lower house, that would represent the individual states, and would be less susceptible to variations of mass sentiment.the house is commonly referred to as the lower house and the senate the upper house, although the united states constitution does not use that terminology.both houses' approval is necessary for the passage of legislation.the virginia plan drew the support of delegates from large states such as virginia, massachusetts, and pennsylvania, as it called for representation based on population.the smaller states, however, favored the new jersey plan, which called for a unicameral congress with equal representation for the states.eventually, the convention reached the connecticut compromise or great compromise, under which one house of congress (the house of representatives) would provide representation proportional to each state's population, whereas the other (the senate) would provide equal representation amongst the states.the constitution was ratified by the requisite number of states (nine out of the 13) in 1788, but its implementation was set for march 4, 1789.","united states house of

social sciences at aarhus university were merged under the name of aarhus university, school of business and social sciences.aarhus school of business was founded in 1939, and the faculty of social sciences, consisting of several departments and faculties established between 1936 and 1969.aarhus school of business's predecessor, the jutland business school (den jyske handelshøjskole, djh), has a somewhat more extensive history.already in the late 1800s, djh provided business programmes to young people from jutland who wished to follow studies within business, economics and trade.only when aarhus school of business was founded in 1939 did it become the academic institution that it was known as today.[1] aarhus school of business has continually grown since its founding.in 1968 aarhus school of business moved from the original location downtown aarhus to the yellow and red brick buildings which since then have provided the setting for the outstanding research and teaching that aarhus school of business stood for.after the 2011 merger the school now has around 16,000 students, 737 academic staff, including 223 phd students,[3] making it one of the largest business schools in europe.in 2006, the institute of business and technology in herning (now au herning) was merged with aarhus university, adding birk centerpark in herning to the campus sites of school of business and social sciences.because of its large number of students, aarhus is regarded as a university town.the campus in aarhus and herning offers a number of facilities, including aarhus university sport (aus) which hosts more than 16 different sports activities and denmark's biggest sports day and friday bar, libraries on all campus sites, student organisations like studenterlauget and the student council,

january 10, 2002) was an american comic book artist and one of the mainstays of marvel comics during its 1960s and 1970s ascendancy into an industry leader and its subsequent expansion to a major pop-culture conglomerate.his younger brother sal buscema is also a comic book artist.buscema is best known for his run on the series the avengers and the silver surfer, and for over 200 stories featuring the sword-and-sorcery hero conan the barbarian.in addition, he pencilled at least one issue of nearly every major marvel title, including long runs on two of the company's top magazines, fantastic four and thor.he was inducted into the will eisner comic book hall of fame in 2002.in his teens, he developed an interest in both superhero comic books and such adventure comic strips as hal foster's tarzan and prince valiant, burne hogarth's tarzan, alex raymond's flash gordon, and milton caniff's terry and the pirates.he showed an interest in commercial illustration of the period, by such artists as n. c. wyeth, norman rockwell, dean cornwell, coby whitmore, albert dorne, and robert fawcett.buscema graduated from manhattan's high school of music and art.he took night lessons at pratt institute as well as life drawing classes at the brooklyn museum.while training as a boxer, he began painting portraits of boxers and sold some cartoons to the hobo news.seeking work as a commercial illustrator while doing various odd jobs, buscema found himself instead entering the comic book field in 1948, landing a staff job under editor-in-chief and art director stan lee at timely comics, the forerunner of marvel comics.the timely 'bullpen', as the staff was called, included such fellow staffers as established veterans syd shores, carl burgos, mike sekowsky, george klein, and marty nodell.fellow newcomer gene colan, hired roughly two months earlier, recalled that '... john never seemed very happy in comics ... there always seemed to be something else he really wanted to do.'his first recorded credit is penciling the four-page story 'till crime do you part' in timely's lawbreakers always lose #3 (aug. 1948).he contributed to the 'real-life' dramatic series true adventures and man comics (the premiere issue of which sported one of buscema's earliest recorded comic book covers), as well as to cowboy romances, two-gun western (for which he drew at least one story of the continuing character the apache kid), lorna the jungle queen, and strange tales.until the bullpen was dissolved a year-and-a-half later, as comic books in general and superhero comics in particular continued their post-war fade in popularity, buscema penciled and inked in a variety of genres, including crime fiction and romance fiction.he continued to freelance for timely, by now known as atlas comics, as well as for the publishers ace comics, hillman periodicals, our publications/orbit, quality comics, st. john publications, and ziff-davis.buscema's mid-1950s work includes dell comics' roy rogers comics #74–91 (feb. 1954 – july 1955) and subsequent roy rogers and trigger #92–97 and #104–108 (aug. 1955 – jan. 1956 & aug.–dec.1956); and the charlton comics series ramar of the jungle and nature boy — the latter, buscema's first superhero work, with a character created by himself and superman co-creator jerry siegel.buscema next produced a series of western, war, and sword and sandal film adaptations for dell's four color series.buscema recalled, 'i did a bunch of their movie books ... that was a lot of fun.i worked from stills on those, except for the

discouraged that inks which looked smooth and clear on his original pages appeared clunky in the printed comics, and with some guidance from dick giordano he studied how to draw in a way that would appear better on the printed page.kesel worked on the lighthearted 'mazing man series, as well as providing inks over the pencils of george pérez on history of the dc universe and john byrne on

published by simon and schuster in new york city in march 1932.an english edition published by john lane followed in 1933.it has 'nearly half-a-million words' and was described as 'probably the longest undivided novel in english'.it is the second of powys's wessex novels, along with wolf solent (1929), weymouth sands (1934) and maiden castle (1936).powys was an admirer of thomas hardy and these novels are set in somerset and dorset, parts of hardy's mythical wessex.the action occurs over roughly a year, and the first two chapters of a glastonbury romance take place in norfolk, where the late canon william crow's will is read, and the crow family learn that his secretary-valet john geard has inherited his wealth.also in norfolk, a romance begins between cousins, john and mary crow.however, after an important scene at the ancient monument of stonehenge, the rest of the action takes place in or near the somerset town of glastonbury, which is some ten miles north of the village of montacute.powys's father, the reverend charles francis powys (1843–1923), was parish priest of montacute from 1885 to 1918, and it was here that powys grew up.the grail legends associated with the town of glastonbury are of major importance in this novel, and welsh mythology has, for the first time, a significant role.the climax of volume 1 is geard's pageant, part of his plan to revive glastonbury as a place of religious pilgrimage.the pageant has three parts: 'arthurian scenes at the beginning', then a 'christmas 'passion play' ', followed by a final 'prehistoric portion'.however the pageant ends abruptly during the second part, when owen evans, who is enacting christ's death on the cross, collapses.in volume 2's final chapter, 'the flood', the sea invades the land, geard dies, and glastonbury becoming an island once again.the action begins in norfolk with the funeral canon william crow and the reading of his will, and where the romance between the cousins john and mary crow begins.the crow family members are shocked to learn that william' crow's secretary-valet, john geard, has inherited most of the deceased's wealth.john crow then sets off to walk to glastonbury, where he will rejoin mary.while crossing salisbury plain he is offered a ride in owen evans' car and the two men visit stonehenge.a central aspect of a glastonbury romance is the attempt by john geard, ex-minister, who becomes the mayor, to restore glastonbury to its medieval glory as a place of religious pilgrimage.on the other hand, the glastonbury industrialist philip crow, along with john and mary crow, and tom barter, all whom are from norfolk, view the myths and legends of the town with contempt.philip's vision is of a future with more mines and more factories.john crow, however, as he is penniless, takes on the task of organizing a pageant for geard.at the same time an alliance of anarchists, marxists, and jacobins try to turn glastonbury into a commune.like powys,

in new york city in march 1932.an english edition published by john lane followed in 1933.it has 'nearly half-a-million words' and was described as 'probably the longest undivided novel in english'.it is the second of powys's wessex novels, along with wolf solent (1929), weymouth sands (1934) and maiden castle (1936).powys was an admirer of thomas hardy and these novels are set in somerset and dorset, parts of hardy's mythical wessex.the action occurs over roughly a year, and the first two chapters of a glastonbury romance take place in norfolk, where the late canon william crow's will is read, and the crow family learn that his secretary-valet john geard has inherited his wealth.also in norfolk, a romance begins between cousins, john and mary crow.however, after an important scene at the ancient monument of stonehenge, the rest of the action takes place in or near the somerset town of glastonbury, which is some ten miles north of the village of montacute.powys's father, the reverend charles francis powys (1843–1923), was parish priest of montacute from 1885 to 1918, and it was here that powys grew up.the grail legends associated with the town of glastonbury are of major importance in this novel, and welsh mythology has, for the first time, a significant role.the climax of volume 1 is geard's pageant, part of his plan to revive glastonbury as a place of religious pilgrimage.the pageant has three parts: 'arthurian scenes at the beginning', then a 'christmas 'passion play' ', followed by a final 'prehistoric portion'.however the pageant ends abruptly during the second part, when owen evans, who is enacting christ's death on the cross, collapses.in volume 2's final chapter, 'the flood', the sea invades the land, geard dies, and glastonbury becoming an island once again.the action begins in norfolk with the funeral canon william crow and the reading of his will, and where the romance between the cousins john and mary crow begins.the crow family members are shocked to learn that william' crow's secretary-valet, john geard, has inherited most of the deceased's wealth.john crow then sets off to walk to glastonbury, where he will rejoin mary.while crossing salisbury plain he is offered a ride in owen evans' car and the two men visit stonehenge.a central aspect of a glastonbury romance is the attempt by john geard, ex-minister, who becomes the mayor, to restore glastonbury to its medieval glory as a place of religious pilgrimage.on the other hand, the glastonbury industrialist philip crow, along with john and mary crow, and tom barter, all whom are from norfolk, view the myths and legends of the town with contempt.philip's vision is of a future with more mines and more factories.john crow, however, as he is penniless, takes on the task of organizing a pageant for geard.at the same time an alliance of anarchists, marxists, and jacobins try to turn glastonbury into a commune.like powys, owen evans is a devoted student of welsh mythology.he also resembles powys in that he has strong urges toward violence and sadism, and is often tempted by sadistic pornography.but evans is not the only character that resembles his creator,

"sugo all'amatriciana (italian pronunciation: [ˈsuːɡo allamatriˈtʃaːna]), or alla matriciana (in romanesco dialect), also known as salsa all'amatriciana, is a traditional italian pasta sauce based on guanciale (cured pork cheek), pecorino romano cheese, tomato, and, in some variations, onion.originating from the town of amatrice (in the mountainous province of rieti of lazio region), the amatriciana is one of the best known pasta sauces in present-day roman and italian cuisine.the italian government has named it a traditional agro-alimentary product of lazio and amatriciana tradizionale is registered as a traditional speciality guaranteed in the eu and the uk.in papal rome, the grici were sellers of common edible foods, who got this name because many of them came from valtellina, at that time a possession of the swiss canton of grigioni.according to another hypothesis, the name originates from the hamlet of grisciano, in the comune of accumoli, near amatrice.the sauce—nowadays named also amatriciana bianca—was, and still is, prepared with guanciale (cured pork cheek) and grated pecorino romano.at some point, a little olive oil was added to the recipe.in the 1960s, amatriciana sauce was still prepared in this way in amatrice itself.the invention of the first tomato sauces (and the likely earliest date for the introduction of tomato in the gricia, creating amatriciana) dates back to the late 18th century.tomatoes originated from the aztecs and incas, and were introduced to europe through the columbian exchange via spain.the first written record of pasta with tomato sauce can be found in the 1790 cookbook l'apicio moderno by roman chef francesco leonardi.the amatriciana recipe became increasingly famous in rome over the 19th and early 20th centuries, due to the centuries-old connection between rome and amatrice.the recipe was extremely well received and rapidly went on to become a classic of roman cuisine, even though it originated elsewhere.the name of the dish in the romanesco dialect eventually became matriciana due to the apheresis typical of this dialect.while tomato-less gricia is still prepared in central italy, it is the tomato-enriched amatriciana that is better known throughout italy and exported everywhere.while in amatrice the dish is prepared with spaghetti, the use of bucatini has become extremely common in rome and is now prevalent.other types of dry pasta (particularly rigatoni) are also used, whereas fresh pasta is generally avoided.in amatrice, use of guanciale and tomato is typical.onion is not favoured, although it is shown in the classical handbooks of roman cuisine.for frying, olive oil is most commonly used, but strutto (canned pork lard) is used as well.in amatrice, the local pecorino is sometimes used as cheese.for cheese either pecorino romano or amatrice's pecorino (from the monti sibillini or monti della laga areas) can be used.the addition of black pepper or chili pepper is common.vie piazze e ville di roma nel loro valore storico e topografico (in italian).roma: libreria di scienze e lettere.boni, ada (1983) [1930].la cucina romana (in italian).roma: newton compton editori.gosetti della salda, anna (1967).le ricette regionali italiane (in italian).milano: solares.carnacina, luigi; buonassisi, vincenzo (1975).roma in cucina (in italian).milano: giunti martello.faccioli, emilio (1987).l'arte della cucina in italia (in italian).milano: einaudi.ravaro, fernando (2005).dizionario romanesco (in italian).roma: newton compton.isbn 9788854117921.","amatriciana sauce | ingredient | pecorino romano","sugo all'amatriciana (italian pronunciation: [ˈsuːɡo allamatriˈtʃaːna]), or alla matriciana (in romanesco dialect), also known as salsa all'amatriciana, is a traditional italian pasta sauce based on guanciale (cured pork cheek), pecorino romano cheese, tomato, and, in some variations, onion.the sauce—nowadays named also amatriciana bianca—was, and still is, prepared with guanciale (cured pork cheek) and grated pecorino romano."

the 2013–14 season.he made his nhl debut on 3 october 2013, in a win over the dallas stars.during the game, he scored his first nhl goal while playing 15:34 and winning three of 13 faceoffs.he subsequently became the youngest player since the 1967 nhl expansion to score a goal in the nhl.as the youngest player in the nhl's 2013–14 season, barkov continued to produce and quickly accumulated five points in his first seven games.as his points increased, so did his playing time.by the end of october, barkov went from averaging about 10 minutes to playing more than 13 minutes.barkov and fellow rookie nick bjugstad quickly became steadfast centres on the panthers first and second lines.barkov also earned praise from hockey pundits and teammates for playing beyond his years on and off the ice.throughout december, barkov recorded nine points through 10 games while playing on the panthers top line with sean bergenheim and brad boyes.as a member of the top line through january, barkov suffered a lower body injury on 21 january and subsequently missed four games.despite this, he still sat just one point off the team lead in points with 24.although he recovered in time to join team finland at the olympics, barkov suffered a second injury during the tournament that cut his nhl season to 54 games.he finished his rookie season with eight goals and 16 assists for 24 points, on pace for a 36-point campaign.during the 2014 off-season, the panthers signed finnish free agent jussi jokinen who wanted to play on the team because of barkov.","aleksander barkov jr | height | 1905","no

pestle against the mortar to make it softer, and is served with sambal, slices of cucumbers, fried tofu, and tempeh (mostly cucumber).in indonesia, penyet dishes such as fried chicken and ribs are commonly associated with surabaya, the capital city of east java.the most popular ayam penyet variant is ayam penyet suroboyo.ayam penyet is known for its spicy sambal, which is made with a mixture of chilli, anchovies, tomatoes, shallots, garlic, shrimp paste, tamarind and lime juice.like its namesake, the sambal mixture is then smashed into a paste to be eaten with the dish.penyet is a javanese term for 'squeezed' or 'pressed,' thus ayam penyet means 'squeezed chicken.'it is quite similar to another popular indonesian fried chicken dish ayam geprek, as both are fried chicken smashed and mixed together with hot and spicy sambal chili paste.the difference is ayam penyet is a traditional javanese ayam goreng half-cooked in bumbu kuning (yellow spice paste) and then deep fried in hot palm oil.ayam geprek however, is more akin to western-style (american) fried chicken, which is crispy fried chicken coated with batter, or known in indonesia as ayam goreng tepung (battered fried chicken).today ayam penyet is commonly found in indonesia, malaysia, brunei and singapore.it has recently surged in popularity across southeast asia, where various chains of franchises have opened

"the æsir are the gods of the principal pantheon in old norse religion and norse mythology.the second norse pantheon is the vanir, these two pantheons waged war against each other, resulting in a unified pantheon.in genitival compounds, it takes the form ása-, e.g.in ása-þórr ('thor of the æsir'), besides ás- found in ás-brú 'gods' bridge' (the rainbow), ás-garðr, ás-kunnigr 'gods' kin', ás-liðar 'gods' leader', ás-mogin 'gods' might' (especially of thor), ás-móðr 'divine wrath' etc.landâs 'national god' (patrium numen) is a title of thor, as is allmáttki ás 'almighty god', while it is odin who is 'the' ás.there is also old east norse dialectal *ās-ækia (own: *áss-ekja), i.e.'god ride' (thor riding in his wagon), resulting in the modern swedish word for atmospheric thunder – åska (the form åsekia attested as late as the 17th c.).the feminine form is ásynja (plural ásynjur).the feminine suffix -ynja (proto-norse: -unjō) is known from a few other nouns denoting female animals, such as apynja 'female monkey', vargynja 'she-wolf'.a cognate word for 'goddess' is not attested outside old norse, and a corresponding west germanic word would have been separately derived with the feminine suffixes -inī or -injō.áss is attested in other germanic languages, such as old english ōs (plural ēse), denoting a deity in anglo-saxon paganism, preserved only as a prefix ōs- in personal names (e.g.osborne, oswald) and some place-names, and as the genitive plural ēsa (ēsa gescot and ylfa gescot, 'the shots of anses and of elves', i.e.'elfshot', jaculum divorum et geniorum).in old high german, old dutch and old saxon, the word is only attested in personal and place names, e.g.ansebert, anselm, ansfrid, vihans.the old high german is reconstructed as *ans, plural *ensî.gothic has ans- as reported by jordanes, who wrote in the 6th century ce, presumably a latinized form of actual plural *anseis), as a name for euhemerized semi-divine early gothic rulers.the reconstructed proto-germanic form is *ansuz (plural *ansiwiz).the ansuz rune, ⟨ᚫ⟩, was named after the æsir.*ansuz, itself comes from proto-indo-european *h₂énsus (gen. h₂n̥sóus) 'life force' (cf.avestan aŋhū 'lord; lifetime', ahura 'godhood', sanskrit ásu 'life force', ásura 'demons' ( *h₂n̥suró).it is widely accepted that this word is further related to *h₂ens- 'to engender' (cf.hittite hass- 'to procreate, give birth', tocharian b ās- 'to produce').while other cultures have had 'elder' and 'younger' families of gods, as with the titans versus the olympians of ancient greece, the æsir and vanir were portrayed as contemporaries.the two clans of gods fought battles, concluded treaties, and exchanged hostages (freyr and freyja are mentioned as hostages).an áss like ullr is almost unknown in the myths, but his name is seen in a lot of geographical names, especially in sweden, and may also appear on the 3rd century thorsberg chape, suggesting that his cult was widespread in prehistoric times.the names of the first three æsir in norse mythology, vili, vé and odin all refer to spiritual or mental state, vili to conscious will or desire, vé to the sacred or numinous and óðr to the manic or ecstatic.the vanir appear to have mainly been connected with cultivation and fertility and the æsir were connected with power and war.in the eddas, however, the word æsir is used for gods in general, while asynjur is used for the goddesses in general.for example, in the poem skírnismál, freyr was called 'prince of the æsir'.in the prose edda, njörðr was introduced as 'the third among the æsir', and among the asynjur, freya is always listed second only to frigg.in surviving tales, the origins of many of the æsir are unexplained.","aenir | language | english language","no related

quindío and risaralda), and part of valle del cauca and the northwest of tolima.the main characteristic of this dish is the generous amount and variety of food in a traditional bandeja paisa: red beans cooked with pork, white rice, carne molida (ground meat), chicharrón, fried egg, plantain (plátano maduro), chorizo, arepa, hogao sauce, black pudding (morcilla), avocado and lemon.it is served in a platter or a tray.in the 19th century, french and british colonialists also brought their cuisine with them.the current form and presentation of the paisa platter is relatively recent.there are no references in the food writing about this dish before 1950.it is probably an interpretation of the local restaurants of simpler peasant dishes.one of its most prominent features is the juxtaposition of native american and european ingredients, which is also observed in other mestizo dishes of latin american cuisine, such as venezuelan pabellón criollo or costa rican gallo pinto.side dishes include mazamorra (a maize-derived beverage similar to atole) with milk and ground panela.there are several variants of the dish all over the country with deletion or addition of ingredients, which cannot be recognized as bandeja paisa in the strictest sense.some antioquian restaurants offer an 'extended' bandeja paisa, also known as 'seven meats platter', which contains, besides the aforementioned ingredients, grilled steak, grilled pork and liver.a diet-friendly version of the dish is very popular in bogotá, which replaces pork with grilled chicken breast, black pudding with salad and chorizo with a wiener.a number of people opposed this designation, arguing that only a small percentage of the colombian population consumes it on a regular basis and that it originated in a single region of colombia (antioquia).however, the suggested alternative, sancocho, is not a distinctively colombian dish, as it is known and enjoyed in many other countries, such as cuba, venezuela, the canary islands, puerto rico, the dominican republic and panama.due to the widespread ubiquity of sancocho, often colombian ajiaco is instead considered the most indicative colombian dish.nonetheless, the commercial colombian tourism industry has pushed ahead without official government sanction by emblazoning ads, menus, and brochure information with imagery of the bandeja paisa

the castle would notify him on his deathbed that his 'legal claim to live in the village was not valid, yet, taking certain auxiliary circumstances into account, he was permitted to live and work there.'however, on 11 september 1922 in a letter to brod, he wrote he was giving up on the book and would never return to it.as it is, the book ends mid-sentence.although brod was instructed by kafka to destroy all of his unpublished works on his death, brod instead set about publishing many of them.das schloss was originally published in german in 1926 by the publisher joella goodman of munich.this edition sold far less than the 1500 copies that were printed.it was republished in 1935 by schocken verlag in berlin, and in 1946 by schocken books of new york.brod heavily edited the work to ready it for publication.his goal was to gain acceptance of the work and the author, not to maintain the structure of kafka's writing.this would play heavily in the future of the translations and continues to be the center of discussion on the text.brod donated the manuscript to oxford university.brod placed a strong religious significance on the symbolism of the castle.this is one possible interpretation of the work based on numerous judeo-christian references as noted by many including arnold heidsieck.in 1961 malcolm pasley got access to all of kafka's works except the trial, and deposited them in oxford's bodleian library.pasley and a team of scholars (gerhard neumann, jost schillemeit, and jürgen born) started publishing the works in 1982 through s. fischer verlag.das schloß was published that year as a two-volume set — the novel in the first volume, and the fragments, deletions, and editor's notes in a second volume.this team restored the original german text to its full and incomplete state, including kafka's unique punctuation, considered critical to the style.at one time stroemfeld/roter stern verlag did work for the rights to publish a critical edition with manuscript and transcription side-by-side.but they met with resistance from the kafka heirs and pasley.based on the first german edition, by max brod.published by secker & warburg in england and alfred a. knopf in the united states.1941 translators: willa and edwin muir.the edition includes an homage by thomas mann.","castle novel | language | english language","no related information" "batagor (abbreviated from baso tahu goréng, sundanese: 'fried bakso [and] tofu') is a sundanese dish from indonesia, and popular in southeast asia, consisting of fried fish dumplings, usually served with peanut sauce.it is traditionally made from minced tenggiri (spanish mackerel), although other types of seafood such as tuna, mackerel, and prawn may also be used.the fish paste is subsequently stuffed into wonton skins or filled into tofu, and then deep fried in palm oil.street-side batagor fried dumplings are usually served with fried tofu and finger-shaped fried otak-otak fish cakes.these batagor components are cut into bite-size pieces and topped with peanut sauce, kecap manis (sweet soy sauce), sambal (chili paste), and lime juice.as a fried food, batagor generally have a crispy and crunchy texture;

football federation) and won the promotional play-offs against naftovyk, obtaining the rights to participate in the soviet class b championship (soviet first league).however, in 1963 the football federation of ussr conducted another reorganization in football national tournaments creating the second group of class a and class b became the third tier where a berth was reserved for a team from lviv.at that time the best city team was ska lvov, players of which did not stay there for long, leaving it at the end of their military service, while the best would be drafted to cska moscow.in light of that the city administration decided to create a civilian team, independent from the soviet military.in december 1962, in the building of regional council of trade unions (at prospekt

director of the city plant 'lvivsilmash' ivan kalynychenko to discuss a new name for the club.the name silmash was recognized as inadequate for participation on such a level.among the proposed names were spartak, dynamo, halychyna, while at the end they agreed upon the regional toponym karpaty (carpathians).in the soviet times all sport teams were 'tied' to certain industrial unions or sport societies, therefore karpaty joined the republican sport society of trade unions 'avanhard', while the lviv television production plant 'elektron' became its sponsor.out of 'silmash' only two joined karpaty: ihor kulchytskyi and josef fales.karpaty also adopted the same jersey colors of silmash.also the club was reinforced with several players from ska lvov and transfers.the club played its first

oleksandr filiayev.the first official game was against lokomotiv gomel on 23 april 1963, which karpaty won 1–0 (goal scored by anatoliy kroshchenko).karpaty debuted in group b in 1963 and remained there for four seasons, until in 1968 they were promoted to soviet first league.the road to the cup was no less exciting as the final itself.on the way there the lions were challenged by such soviet heavy-weights as ararat yerevan and chornomorets odesa.the quarterfinal round matched them with trud voronezh that in the prior round had eliminated spartak moscow.after a narrow victory over voronezh, karpaty faced mykolaiv's shipbuilders.the game was perceived by the lvivians as the chance to avenge the previous year's loss to the mykolaivans, which cost them a ticket to the soviet premiership.a score of 2–0 was enough to secure a trip to moscow.in the final, karpaty faced the red army team from rostov-on-don at the lenin stadium.the rostov army-men were one of the best soviet clubs in the mid-1960s and for that game they were considered as the favorites being the representatives of the soviet top league.before the start of the game karpaty's captain ihor kulchytskyi shook

in the international alphabet of sanskrit transliteration, the hindi letter ड़ is transliterated as <ṛ>, popular or non-standard transliterations of hindi use for this sound, because etymologically, it derives from ड /ɖ/.the occurrence of this consonant in the word pakora has given rise to two common alternative spellings in english: pakoda, which reflects its etymology, and pakora, which reflects its phonology.early known recipes come from manasollasa (1130 ce) cookbook where it mentions 'parika' (pakoda) and method of preparing it with vegetables and gram flour.lokopakara (1025 ce)

rice flour but variants can use other flours, such as buckwheat flour.the spices used in the batter are up to the cook and may be chosen due to local tradition or availability; often these include fresh and dried spices such as chilli, fenugreek and coriander.they are also offered with masala chai to guests at indian wedding ceremonies.pakoda may be interpreted in these states as deep fried

with glutinous rice cooked in coconut milk with various slices of sabá bananas, taro, ube, and sweet potato, among other ingredients.it is comparable to various dessert guinataán (coconut milk-based) dishes found in other regions such as bilo-bilo.among the visayan people, the dish is traditionally served during good friday of holy week.binignit is considered a type of lugaw (rice gruel) and guinataán (dishes cooked in coconut milk).two cups of water are then added to the grated coconut, and a second extraction is made.this becomes the 'thin' milk.this 'thin' coconut milk extract is added to cubed kamote (sweet potato), gabi (taro) and ube (purple yam), sliced ripe sabá bananas, langka (jack fruit), and tapioca pearls.sometimes, young coconut meat strips are also added.this is simmered on low to medium heat, to prevent the coconut milk from curdling.glutinous rice (pilit) is added once the root crops have sufficiently softened and the mixture is brought to a boil; being stirred occasionally until done.just before removal from the flame, the 'thick' coconut milk is added.the people of the neighboring island of leyte use ingredients such as landang (palm flour jelly balls), jackfruit, and anise, and thicken it with milled glutinous rice.the vegetables and the pearl sago are cooked in a mixture of water, coconut milk and landang, and sweetened by muscovado or brown sugar.for the people of panay, their version contains balls made of glutinous flour, as well as jackfruit.the balls are formed and boiled until they float, indicating that they are cooked.these are then added to the linugaw or eangkuga.this is similar to the preparation of bilo-bilo but the locals call it by eangkuga or linugaw.others serve it chilled or even frozen, eating the dessert much like ice cream.among the visayan people, the soup is also widely cooked and eaten for the holy week, especially during good friday when observant catholics fast and avoid meat.","binignit | ingredient |

skerries, cays or keys.an island in a river or a lake island may be called an eyot or ait, and a small island off the coast may be called a holm.sedimentary islands in the ganges delta are called chars.a grouping of geographically or geologically related islands, such as the philippines, is referred to as an archipelago.there are two main types of islands in the sea: continental islands and oceanic islands.there are also artificial islands (man-made islands).there are about 900,000 official islands in the world.this number consists of all the officially-reported islands of each country.the total number of islands in the world is unknown.there may be hundreds of thousands of tiny islands that are unknown and uncounted.the number of sea islands in the world is estimated to be more than 200,000.the total area of the world's sea islands is approx.9,963,000 sq km, which is similar to the area of canada and accounts for roughly 1/15 (or 6.7%) of the total land area of earth.dutch eiland ('island'), german eiland ('small island')).however, the spelling of the word was modified in the 15th century because of a false etymology caused by an incorrect association with the etymologically unrelated old french loanword isle, which itself comes from the latin word insula.old english ieg is actually a cognate of swedish ö and german aue, and related to latin aqua (water).continents are often considered to be the largest landmass of a particular continental plate; this holds true for australia, which sits on its own continental lithosphere and tectonic plate (the australian plate).by contrast, islands are usually seen as being extensions of the oceanic crust (e.g.volcanic islands), or as belonging to a continental plate containing a larger landmass (continental islands); the latter is the case of greenland, which sits on the north american plate.examples are borneo, java, sumatra, sakhalin, taiwan and hainan off asia; new guinea, tasmania, and kangaroo island off australia; great britain, ireland, and sicily off europe; greenland, newfoundland, long island, and sable island off north america; and barbados, the falkland islands, and trinidad off south america.examples are madagascar and socotra off africa, new caledonia, new zealand, and some of the seychelles.if this island has a seashore as well as being encircled by two river systems, it becomes what might be called a subcontinental island.the one formed by wollaston lake is very large, about 2,000,000 km2 (770,000 sq mi).this includes: barrier islands, which are accumulations of sand deposited by sea currents on the continental shelves fluvial or alluvial islands formed in river deltas or midstream within large rivers.while some are transitory and may disappear if the volume or speed of the current changes, others are stable and long-lived.other definitions limit the term to only refer to islands with no past geological connections to a continental landmass.the vast majority are volcanic in origin, such as saint helena in the south atlantic ocean.the few oceanic islands that are not volcanic are tectonic in origin and arise where plate movements have lifted up the ocean floor above the surface.examples are the saint peter and saint paul archipelago in the north atlantic ocean and macquarie island in the south pacific ocean.these islands arise from volcanoes where the subduction of one plate under another is occurring.examples are the aleutian islands, the mariana islands, and most of tonga in the pacific ocean.","finland | language | finnish

it has low levels of perceived corruption and the highest median income per person of any polity in the world.it has high levels of incarceration and inequality and lacks universal health care.as a melting pot of cultures and ethnicities, the u.s. has been shaped by the world's largest immigrant population.a developed country, the american economy accounts for approximately a quarter of global gdp and is the world's largest by gdp at market exchange rates.the united states is the world's largest importer and second-largest exporter.","united states | language | english language","no related information" "weymouth sands is a novel by john cowper powys, which was written in rural upper new york state and published in february 1934 in new york city by simon and schuster.it was published in britain as jobber skald in 1935 by john lane.weymouth sands was the third of john cowper powys's so-called wessex novels, which include wolf solent (1929), a glastonbury romance (1932), and maiden castle (1936).powys was an admirer of novelist and poet thomas hardy, and these novels are set in somerset and dorset, part of hardy's mythical wessex.american scholar richard maxwell describes these four novels 'as remarkably successful with the reading public of his time'.the setting of this novel is the english seaside town of weymouth, dorset.weymouth remained throughout powys's life the place where he was most at home and '[a]lways in [his] memory was the pebbled seashore opposite brunswick terrace'.c.a.coates in her book on powys notes the importance of weymouth for his imagination, quoting from autobiography: 'every aspect of the weymouth coast sank into my mind with such a transubstantiating magic' that 'it is through the medium of these things that i envisage all the experiences of my life'.when he died in 1963 powys's ashes were scattered on nearby chesil beach.powys notes in his diary on valentine's day 1932 that 'i'm really going to begin my weymouth book' and he also records that he had been given 'hardy's well-beloved by his lover phyllis playter, a novel which is set in on the isle of portland where jobber skald, the protagonist of weymouth sands, comes from.weymouth sands is the title of the american first edition and an english edition then appeared in 1935, but prior to its publication powys and his english publishers were successfully sued for libel by gerard hodgkinson, who claimed that the character of philip crow in a glastonbury romance had been based on him.the damages awarded crippled powys financially, and he was forced to make substantial changes to the british edition of weymouth sands.the title of the english version was changed to jobber skald (1935) and all references to the real-life weymouth were cut.'powys tells the story of jobber skald - a large, somewhat brutish man, obsessed with the urge to kill the local magnate of the town because of the man's contempt for the workers of the local quarry - and his redeeming love for perdita wane, a young girl from the channel islands.weymouth sands boasts a striking collection of human oddities including a famous clown, his mad brother, a naive latin teacher, a young philosopher, and an abortionist.'novelist margaret drabble comments, 'weymouth sands is a celebration of the seaside town [powys] had loved as a child, but its tone is far from innocent.the novel features a sinister clown figure and punch and judy shows: powys was not one to shy away from the suggestions of violence and child sex abuse that are now routinely associated with such entertainments.'the fusion of introspective analysis with an animistic sense of the elemental background of human life which he achieves in these books is unique in european literature.new york: simon & schuster, 1934 2nd impression, n.y. jobber skald, john lane: london,1935 london: macdonald, 1963 new york: harper & row, 1984, introduction by james purdy isbn 0-06-091164-6 cambridge: rivers press, 1973 introduction by angus wilson isbn 0-903747-04-9;

west.jalisco is made up of a diverse terrain that includes forests, beaches, plains, and lakes.altitudes in the state vary from 0 to 4,300 meters (0 to 14,110 ft) above sea level, from the coast to the top of the nevado de colima.the jalisco area contains all five of mexico's natural ecosystems: arid and semi arid scrublands, tropical evergreen forests, tropical deciduous and thorn forests, grasslands and mesquite grasslands, and temperate forests with oaks, pines and firs.over 52% of the bird species found in mexico live in the state, with 525, 40% of mexico's mammals with 173 and 18% of its reptile species.there are also 7,500 species of veined plants.one reason for its biodiversity is that it lies in the transition area between the temperate north and tropical south.it also lies at the northern edge of the sierra madre del sur and is on the trans-mexican volcanic belt, which provides a wide variety of ecological conditions from tropical rainforest conditions to semi arid areas to areas apt for conifer forests.its five natural regions are: northwestern plains and sierras, sierra madre occidental, central plateau, trans-mexican volcanic belt, which covers most of the state, and the sierra madre del sur.it has an average altitude of 1,550 meters (5,090 ft) masl, but ranges from 0–4,300 m (0–14,110 ft).most of the territory is semi-flat between 600–2,050 m (1,970–6,730 ft), followed by rugged terrain of between 900–4,300 m (2,950–14,110 ft) and a small percentage of flat lands between 0–1,750 m (0–5,740 ft).principal elevations include the nevado de colima, the volcán de colima, the sierra el madroño, the tequila volcano, the sierra tapalpa, sierra los huicholes, sierra san isidro, sierra manantlán, cerro el tigre, cerro garcía, sierra lalo, sierra cacoma, cerro gordo, sierra verde, and the sierra los guajolotes.jalisco's rivers and streams eventually empty into the pacific ocean and are divided into three groups: the lerma/santiago river and its tributaries, rivers that empty directly into the pacific and rivers in the south of the state.jalisco has several river basins with the most notable being that of the lerma/santiago river, which drains the northern and northeastern parts of the state.the lerma river enters extends from the state of mexico and empties into lake chapala on the east side.","jalisco | leadername |

the five main islands being hokkaido, honshu (the 'mainland'), shikoku, kyushu, and okinawa.tokyo is the nation's capital and largest city, followed by yokohama, osaka, nagoya, sapporo, fukuoka, kobe, and kyoto.japan is the eleventh most populous country in the world, as well as one of the most densely populated.about three-fourths of the country's terrain is mountainous, concentrating its highly urbanized population on narrow coastal plains.japan is divided into 47 administrative prefectures and eight traditional regions.the greater tokyo area is the most populous metropolitan area in the world.japan has the world's highest life expectancy, though it is experiencing a population decline.japan has been inhabited since the upper paleolithic period (30,000 bc).between the 4th and 9th centuries, the kingdoms of japan became unified under an emperor and the imperial court based in heian-kyō.beginning in the 12th century, political power was held by a series of military dictators (shōgun) and feudal lords (daimyō) and enforced by a class of warrior nobility (samurai).after a century-long period of civil war, the country was reunified in 1603 under the tokugawa shogunate, which enacted an isolationist foreign policy.in 1854, a united states fleet forced japan to open trade to the west, which led to the end of the shogunate and the restoration of imperial power in 1868.in the meiji period, the empire of japan adopted a western-modeled constitution and pursued a program of industrialization and modernization.amidst a rise in militarism and overseas colonization, japan invaded china in 1937 and entered world war ii as an axis power in 1941.after suffering defeat in the pacific war and two atomic bombings, japan surrendered in 1945 and came under a seven-year allied occupation, during which it adopted a new constitution.under the 1947 constitution, japan has maintained a unitary parliamentary constitutional monarchy with a bicameral legislature, the national diet.japan is a developed country and a great power.its economy is the world's third-largest by nominal gdp and the fourth-largest by ppp, with its per capita income ranking at 36th highest in the world.although japan has renounced its right to declare war, the country maintains self-defense forces that rank as one of the world's strongest militaries.a global leader in the automotive, robotics and electronics industries, the country has made significant contributions to science and technology.it is part of multiple major international and intergovernmental institutions.japan is considered a cultural superpower as the culture of japan is well known around the world, including its art, cuisine, film, music, and popular culture, which encompasses prominent manga, anime and video game industries.before 日本 was adopted in the early 8th century, the country was known in china as wa (倭, changed in japan around 757 to 和) and in japan by the endonym yamato.nippon, the original sino-japanese reading of the characters, is favored for official uses, including on banknotes and postage stamps.nihon is typically used in everyday speech and reflects shifts in japanese phonology during the edo period.the characters 日本 mean 'sun origin', which is the source of the popular western epithet 'land of the rising sun'.the name 'japan' is based on chinese pronunciations of 日本 and was introduced to european languages through early trade.","java | ethnicgroup | banyumasan people","no related information" "300 north lasalle is a 60-story mixed-use building, constructed from 2006 to

"alderney airport (iata: aci, icao: egja) is the only airport on the island of alderney, guernsey.built in 1935, alderney airport was the first airport in the channel islands.located on the blaye (1

avgas refuelling.alderney airport is the base and on-record hub of air alderney, an airline that, as of 2022, has had problems commencing flights since 2017.the main runway, 08/26 is 880 m (2,887 ft) long and is mainly asphalt.the two secondary runways are both grass, 13/31 being 733 m (2,405 ft) long, with 03/21 having a length of 497 m (1,631 ft).the main runway is equipped with low-intensity lighting, with portable lighting being available on runway 13/31.the approach and runway lights were replaced in 2006.alderney is not a 24-hour airport; during winter, it is open monday to saturday from 0740 until 1830 and on sunday from 0840 until 1830.during summer, it is open monday - thursday from 0740 until 1830 and friday - sunday from 0740 until 1920.the airport also has its own non-directional beacon, with runways 08 and 26 utilizing this for instrument approaches during instrument meteorological conditions.both runways also have an approved gps (satellite) approach.this means that aircraft can land in lower visibility.alderney has self-manoeuvring stands.formal stands are not required due to the lack of space to accommodate nose-in-configured aircraft.routes to other destinations such as brighton, bournemouth, cherbourg, exeter, plymouth and jersey were abandoned over the years due to what blue islands, for example, claimed was 'lack of interest'.these routes had been operated on and off by aurigny and blue islands but also alderney air ferries, air sarnia, and air camelot during the 1970s and 1980s.the number of air routes to the island is at its lowest since the second world war except for a brief intermission during the 1967-8 period, when another airline (glos air, later to be aurigny air services) was found to fill the void (see below right).from september 2013, airline aurigny operated direct flights to jersey on a trial basis for a period of six weeks.in april 2015, it was announced that the states of alderney had asked airline citywing to operate a seasonal summer service between alderney and jersey using let l-410 aircraft.however this service has not materialised.in january 2017, a new airline air alderney was set up with the intention of commencing direct flights using britten-norman islander aircraft from alderney to destinations including jersey, cherbourg, lee-on–solent, and brighton.despite considerable progress being made in acquiring aircraft and obtaining an air operator's certificate, to date operations have not yet commenced due to complications regarding ground operations at the intended destination airports.this was to be used to pay for redevelopment of the terminal, which is over 50 years old.during the 2020 covid lockdown, while aircraft movements were low, airport staff refurbished the buildings, including repairs to a leaky flat roof on the 1960s terminal, and patch repaired the runway.the runway was previously resurfaced in 1999 with a surface material having a design life of between 12 and 15 years.a major patch and repair was undertaken on the eastern end of the runway in the autumn of 2016, to provide a short term improvement, but by 2018 it was reported that major work would soon be required for continued safe operations.in 2020 the runway was patched and repaired during covid lockdown by airport staff.on the 4th of july 2022 the states of alderney backed plans to extend the runway from 2,877ft (877m) to about 3,444ft (1,050m) so that larger aircraft such as the atr 72 plane can serve the island giving an additional 20,000 seats per year to help

"alderney airport (iata: aci, icao: egja) is the only airport on the island of alderney, guernsey.built in 1935, alderney airport was the first airport in the channel islands.located on the blaye (1 nm (1.9 km; 1.2 mi) southwest of st anne), it is the closest channel island airport to the south coast of england and the coast of france.its facilities include a hangar, the airport fire station, and avgas refuelling.alderney airport is the base and on-record hub of air alderney, an airline that, as of 2022, has had problems commencing flights since 2017.the main runway, 08/26 is 880 m (2,887 ft) long and is mainly asphalt.the two secondary runways are both grass, 13/31 being 733 m (2,405 ft) long, with 03/21 having a length of 497 m (1,631 ft).the main runway is equipped with low-intensity lighting, with portable lighting being available on runway 13/31.the approach and runway lights were replaced in 2006.alderney is not a 24-hour airport; during winter, it is open monday to saturday from 0740 until 1830 and on sunday from 0840 until 1830.during summer, it is open monday - thursday from 0740 until 1830 and friday - sunday from 0740 until 1920.the airport also has its own non-directional beacon, with runways 08 and 26 utilizing this for instrument approaches during instrument meteorological conditions.both runways also have an approved gps (satellite) approach.this means that aircraft can land in lower visibility.alderney has self-manoeuvring stands.formal stands are not required due to the lack of space to accommodate nose-in-configured aircraft.routes to other destinations such as brighton, bournemouth, cherbourg, exeter, plymouth and jersey were abandoned over the years due to what blue islands, for example, claimed was 'lack of interest'.these routes had been operated on and off by aurigny and blue islands but also alderney air ferries, air sarnia, and air camelot during the 1970s and 1980s.the number of air routes to the island is at its lowest since the second world war except for a brief intermission during the 1967-8 period, when another airline (glos air, later to be aurigny air services) was found to fill the void (see below right).from september 2013, airline aurigny operated direct flights to jersey on a trial basis for a period of six weeks.in april 2015, it was announced that the states of alderney had asked airline citywing to operate a seasonal summer service between alderney and jersey using let l-410 aircraft.however this service has not materialised.in january 2017, a new airline air alderney was set up with the intention of commencing direct flights using britten-norman islander aircraft from alderney to destinations including jersey, cherbourg, lee-on–solent, and brighton.despite considerable progress being made in acquiring aircraft and obtaining an air operator's certificate, to date operations have not yet commenced due to complications regarding ground operations at the intended destination airports.this was to be used to pay for redevelopment of the terminal, which is over 50 years old.during the 2020 covid lockdown, while aircraft movements were low, airport staff refurbished the buildings, including repairs to a leaky flat roof on the 1960s terminal, and patch repaired the runway.the runway was previously resurfaced in 1999 with a surface material having a design life of between 12 and 15 years.a major patch and repair was undertaken on the eastern end of the runway in the autumn of 2016, to provide a short term improvement, but by 2018 it was reported that major work would soon be required for continued safe operations.in 2020 the runway was patched and repaired during covid lockdown by airport staff.on the 4th of july 2022 the states of alderney backed plans to extend the runway from 2,877ft (877m) to about 3,444ft (1,050m) so that larger aircraft such as the atr 72 plane can serve the island giving an additional 20,000 seats per year to help tourism.","alderney airport | runwaylength | 8770 alderney airport | 1st runway surfacetype | asphalt","in 2020 the runway was patched and repaired during covid lockdown by airport staff.on the 4th of july 2022 the states of alderney backed plans to extend the runway from 2,877ft (877m) to about 3,444ft (1,050m) so that larger aircraft such as the atr 72 plane can serve the island giving an additional 20,000 seats per year to help tourism." "the 320 south boston building (formerly known as the national bank of tulsa building) is a 22-story high-rise building located in downtown tulsa, oklahoma.it was originally constructed at the corner of third street and boston avenue as a ten-story headquarters building for the exchange national bank of tulsa, oklahoma in 1917, and expanded to its present dimensions in 1929.the addition brought the building's height to 400 feet (122 m), making it the tallest building in oklahoma.it lost this distinction in 1931, but remained the tallest building in tulsa until fourth national bank (today bank of america center) was completed in 1967.it is now included in the oil capital historic district.the beaux arts-style building was designed by oscar wenderoth of the chicago architectural firm of the weary & alford company.it is covered in brick with terra cotta trim.the lower two stories are covered in terra cotta.the central tower is stepped at the 20th floor, with a two-story arcade section, which is topped by a temple fronted section.a cupola tops the section.for many years, the cupola was illuminated by floodlights whose color changed according to the latest weather forecast.green light meant a fair weather forecast, while red lights signified an approaching storm.in 1933, exchange national bank reorganized and renamed itself as the national bank of tulsa.thereafter, the building was known as the national bank of tulsa building (or nbt building), until the bank renamed itself as bank of oklahoma (bok).the bok moved to its newly constructed bok tower in 1977.the nbt building reverted to its former 320 south boston building name and became a general office building.among the tenants are hall estill, one of oklahoma's largest law firms.in 1949, tulsa television station kotv erected its first transmitter atop the building.during construction, a worker's wrench fell and struck a woman on the street below, killing her.kotv continued to broadcast from the building until a taller tower was constructed in 1954.a longstanding urban myth regarding the pinnacle of 320 south boston building erroneously reported that the tower was designed as a zeppelin mooring.the myth, often propagated by local media, stated that the pinnacle was used at least once when a u.s. navy zeppelin moored there in the 1930s.the top of the building was illuminated for weather alerts, with flashing red lights in the event of an approaching storm.the architect was george winkler, who also designed the mayo hotel.","320 south boston building |

northwest–southeast axis.the indian ocean borders the northwest, west, and southwest coasts of sumatra, with the island chain of simeulue, nias, mentawai, and enggano off the western coast.in the northeast, the narrow strait of malacca separates the island from the malay peninsula, which is an extension of the eurasian continent.in the southeast, the narrow sunda strait, containing the krakatoa archipelago, separates sumatra from java.the northern tip of sumatra is near the andaman islands, while off the southeastern coast lie the islands of bangka and belitung, karimata strait and the java sea.the bukit barisan mountains, which contain several active volcanoes, form the backbone of the island, while the northeastern area contains large plains and lowlands with swamps, mangrove forest and complex river systems.the equator crosses the island at its centre in west sumatra and riau provinces.the climate of the island is tropical, hot, and humid.lush tropical rain forest once dominated the landscape.sumatra has a wide range of plant and animal species but has lost almost 50% of its tropical rainforest in the last 35 years.many species are now critically endangered, such as the sumatran ground cuckoo, the sumatran tiger, the sumatran elephant, the sumatran rhinoceros, and the sumatran orangutan.deforestation on the island has also resulted in serious seasonal smoke haze over neighbouring countries, such as the 2013 southeast asian haze which caused considerable tensions between indonesia and affected countries malaysia and singapore.the earliest known mention of the current form 'sumatra' was in 1017, when the local king haji sumatrabhumi ('king of the land of sumatra') sent an envoy to china.arab geographers referred to the island as lamri (lamuri, lambri or ramni) in the tenth through thirteenth centuries, in reference to a kingdom near modern-day banda aceh which was the first landfall for traders.the island has also been known by other names, including andalas or percha island.in the late 13th century, marco polo referred to the kingdom as samara, while his contemporary fellow italian traveller odoric of pordenone used the form sumoltra.later in the 14th century the local form 'sumatra' became popular abroad due to the rising power of the kingdom of samudera pasai and the subsequent sultanate of aceh.from then on, subsequent european writers

architecture and art.the cave-like underground structure has a roof made of multiple interconnected domes, covered with a mosaic of tiles.on the inside, irregular tree-like columns support the domes.it was earlier known as husain-doshi ni gufa.there are facilities for special painting exhibitions and for projecting films.gardens and a café are located above ground.it was known earlier as husain-doshi ni gufa, after its architect, b.v. doshi, and the artist, m.f.husain.later it was renamed after the city of ahmedabad, known locally as amdavad.the domes are inspired by the shells of tortoises and by soap bubbles.the mosaic tiles on the roof are similar to those found on the roofs of the jain temples at girnar, and the mosaic snake is from hindu mythology.the buddhist caves of ajanta and ellora inspired doshi to design the interior with circles and ellipses, while husain's wall paintings are inspired by paleolithic cave art.the interior is divided by tree trunks or columns similar to those found at stonehenge.together they planned an underground structure capable of withstanding the area's severe summer heat.computer-assisted planning facilities were used to resolve the structure's unorthodox design.a simple floor of wire mesh and mortar was used instead of a traditional foundation.all the structure's components are self-supporting, relieving stress by their ubiquitous continuity.ferrocement, only one inch thick, was used for the undulating walls and domes in order to reduce load.the cave was constructed by unskilled tribal labourers using only hand tools.broken ceramic crockery and waste tiles were used to cover the domes' exterior, which bears a transversal mosaic of a snake.work was carried out in two phases: the first was the construction of the main cave as an underground art gallery, while the second covered the surrounding structures including the paving, the café, and a separate art gallery for exhibitions.a partially hidden staircase leads to a circular door which opens into a cave-like space.though designed to display paintings, the cave has no straight walls, instead using a continuation of the curved dome structure which extends down to the floor.the domes themselves are supported by irregularly shaped inclined columns, similar to those found in natural caves.they are also said to resemble the trunks of trees.the entire design is made up of circles and ellipses.light arrives though snouts, creating spots of light on the floor which move around as the day progresses, intended to create a mystic atmosphere.structure:- ahemdabad ni gufa is an underground art gallery in ahemdabad.it exhibits the work of the famous artist maqbool fida hussain.the gallery represents a unique juxtaposition of

bright colours.the artwork depicts human figures and motifs of animals, including his famous horse figures.he also decorated features such as doors and even air conditioners.the figures were designed to resemble ancient cave paintings in a modern environment.husain also placed a few metal sculptures of human figures between the inclining columns.his largest work, sheshnag (the divine serpent), stretches over a length of 100 feet (30 m).","amdavad ni gufa | address | lalbhai dalpatbhai campus near cept university opp gujarat university university road","no related information" "the united

comprises england, scotland, wales and northern ireland.it includes the island of great britain, the north-eastern part of the island of ireland, and most of the smaller islands within the british isles.northern ireland shares a land border with the republic of ireland; otherwise, the united kingdom is surrounded by the atlantic ocean, the north sea, the english channel, the celtic sea and the irish sea.the total area of the united kingdom is 242,495 square kilometres (93,628 sq mi), with an estimated 2023 population of over 68 million people.the united kingdom has evolved from a series of annexations, unions and separations of constituent countries over several hundred years.the treaty of union between the kingdom of england (which also included wales) and the kingdom of scotland in 1707 resulted in their unification to become the kingdom of great britain.its union in 1801 with the kingdom of ireland created the united kingdom of great britain and ireland.most of ireland seceded from the uk in 1922, leaving the present united kingdom of great britain and northern ireland, which formally adopted its name in 1927.the nearby isle of man, guernsey and jersey are not part of the uk, being crown dependencies, but the british government is responsible for their defence and international representation.the uk became the world's first industrialised country and was the foremost power during the 19th and early 20th centuries, a period of unchallenged global hegemony known as 'pax britannica'.the 14 british overseas territories are the last remnants of the british empire which, at its height in the 1920s, encompassed almost a quarter of the world's landmass and population, and was the largest empire in history.a part of the core anglophonic world, british influence can be observed in the language, culture, legal and political systems of many of its former colonies.the united kingdom is a constitutional monarchy and parliamentary democracy.its capital and largest city is london, the capital of england, a global city and financial centre with a metropolitan population of over 14 million people.edinburgh, cardiff and belfast are the national capitals of scotland, wales and northern ireland respectively.other major cities include birmingham, manchester, leeds, glasgow, sheffield and liverpool.scotland, wales, and northern ireland have their own devolved governments, each with varying powers.the uk is a great power, exerting significant economic, political, military, scientific and cultural influence in world affairs.it has the world's sixth-largest economy by nominal gross domestic product (gdp), and the tenth-largest by purchasing power parity.it is a recognised nuclear state and is the foremost military power in europe.the uk has been a permanent member of the united nations security council since its first session in 1946.it is a member of the commonwealth of nations, the council of europe, the g7, the oecd, the five eyes, nato and aukus, and was a member of the eu until its withdrawal with a free trade deal in 2020.the uk is set to join the cptpp, a major trade bloc in the indo-pacific, after negotiations regarding its accession concluded in march 2023.great britain encompassed the whole island, taking in the land north of the river forth known to the romans as caledonia in modern scotland (i.e.'greater' britain).in the middle ages, the name 'britain' was also applied to a small part of france now known as brittany.as a result, great britain (likely from the french 'grande bretagne') came into use to refer specifically to the island, with brittany often referred to as 'little britain'.","united kingdom | leadername | david cameron","no related information" "angola international airport (portuguese:

"ara veinticinco de mayo (v-2) was an aircraft carrier in the argentine navy from 1969 to 1997.the english translation of the name is twenty-fifth of may, which is the date of argentina's may revolution in 1810.the ship previously served in the royal navy as hms venerable and the royal netherlands navy as hnlms karel doorman.she was deployed south during the beagle crisis in 1978 and in the first weeks of the falklands war (spanish: guerra de las malvinas), where her aircraft were deployed against the royal navy task force, but spent the bulk of the war in port.as a colossus-class aircraft carrier, she was named hms venerable and saw service in the british pacific fleet.venerable only served three years in the royal navy before being sold to the netherlands as hnlms karel doorman.after a boiler room fire, the carrier was rebuilt, and sold to argentina.the argentines already operated a carrier, ara independencia, also a former royal navy colossus class.after independencia was decommissioned in 1970, veinticinco de mayo was the sole remaining carrier in the argentine fleet.she could carry up to 24 aircraft.the air group started with f9f panthers and f9f cougar jets and later these were replaced with a-4q skyhawks supported by s-2 tracker anti-submarine warfare aircraft and sikorsky sea king helicopters.in september 1969, during the voyage of the recently bought veinticinco de mayo from the netherlands, hawker siddeley demonstrated their harrier gr.1 on board the carrier for a possible sale to the argentine navy.during the 1970s the ship was refitted and updated several times, though in each case the duration of each repair period was never more than 3–5 months, allowing her to be available to deploy.her last pre-falklands refit occurred during 1981, when she received an update to her radar, arresting gear, steam catapult and (most noticeably) the forward edge of the port side angled deck was filled out via an enlarged sponson.these improvements would theoretically enable her to operate the super etendard strike aircraft purchased from france, but it was discovered during testing that the catapult had difficulties launching the aircraft type.as a result, her strike airwing was limited to the a-4q skyhawks.on the day of the invasion, she waited with 1500 army soldiers outside stanley harbour as the first submarine and boat-landed commandos secured landing areas and then argentine marines made the main amphibious landing.her aircraft were not used during the invasion.later, in defence of the occupation, she was deployed in a task force north of the falkland islands, with the cruiser ara general belgrano to the south.the british had assigned hms splendid (s106), a nuclear-powered submarine, to track down veinticinco de mayo and sink her if necessary.rear admiral sandy woodward, commanding the british task force from hms hermes stated in his book one hundred days that, had splendid located the carrier, he would have 'recommended in the strongest possible terms to the commander-in-chief admiral sir john fieldhouse that we take them both out this night'.following the outbreak of hostilities on 1 may 1982, the argentine carrier planned an attack on the royal navy task force.veinticinco de mayo's s-2 trackers detected the british fleet late that day, and a strike by all eight a-4q skyhawk jets was prepared, scheduled to take-off at dawn.the attack did not take place, because subsequent tracker sorties had failed to relocate the british fleet.after the british nuclear-powered submarine hms conqueror sank general belgrano, veinticinco de mayo returned to port.the naval a-4q skyhawks flew the rest of the war from the airbase in río grande, tierra del fuego.","ara veinticinco de mayo v-2 | status | sold to the netherlands 1 april 1948","ara veinticinco de mayo (v-2) was an aircraft carrier in the argentine navy from 1969 to 1997.the argentines already operated a carrier, ara independencia, also a former royal navy colossus class.after independencia was decommissioned in 1970, veinticinco de mayo was the sole remaining carrier in the argentine fleet.in september 1969, during the voyage of the recently bought veinticinco de mayo from the netherlands, hawker siddeley demonstrated their harrier gr.1 on board the carrier for a possible sale to the argentine navy.later, in defence of the occupation, she was deployed in a task force north of the falkland islands, with the cruiser ara general belgrano to the south.the british had assigned hms splendid (s106), a nuclear-powered submarine, to track down veinticinco de mayo and sink her if necessary.veinticinco de mayo's s-2 trackers detected the british fleet late that day, and a strike by all eight a-4q skyhawk jets was prepared, scheduled to take-off at dawn.after the british nuclear-powered submarine hms conqueror sank general belgrano, veinticinco de mayo returned to port."

"sugo all'amatriciana (italian pronunciation: [ˈsuːɡo allamatriˈtʃaːna]), or alla matriciana (in romanesco dialect), also known as salsa all'amatriciana, is a traditional italian pasta sauce based on guanciale (cured pork cheek), pecorino romano cheese, tomato, and, in some variations, onion.originating from the town of amatrice (in the mountainous province of rieti of lazio region), the amatriciana is one of the best known pasta sauces in present-day roman and italian cuisine.the italian government has named it a traditional agro-alimentary product of lazio and amatriciana tradizionale is registered as a traditional speciality guaranteed in the eu and the uk.in papal rome, the grici were sellers of common edible foods, who got this name because many of them came from valtellina, at that time a possession of the swiss canton of grigioni.according to another hypothesis, the name originates from the hamlet of grisciano, in the comune of accumoli, near amatrice.the sauce—nowadays named also amatriciana bianca—was, and still is, prepared with guanciale (cured pork cheek) and grated pecorino romano.at some point, a little olive oil was added to the recipe.in the 1960s, amatriciana sauce was still prepared in this way in amatrice itself.the invention of the first tomato sauces (and the likely earliest date for the introduction of tomato in the gricia, creating amatriciana) dates back to the late 18th century.tomatoes originated from the aztecs and incas, and were introduced to europe through the columbian exchange via spain.the first written record of pasta with tomato sauce can be found in the 1790 cookbook l'apicio moderno by roman chef francesco leonardi.the amatriciana recipe became increasingly famous in rome over the 19th and early 20th centuries, due to the centuries-old connection between rome and amatrice.the recipe was extremely well received and rapidly went on to become a classic of roman cuisine, even though it originated elsewhere.the name of the dish in the romanesco dialect eventually became matriciana due to the apheresis typical of this dialect.while tomato-less gricia is still prepared in central italy, it is the tomato-enriched amatriciana that is better known throughout italy and exported everywhere.while in amatrice the dish is prepared with spaghetti, the use of bucatini has become extremely common in rome and is now prevalent.other types of dry pasta (particularly rigatoni) are also used, whereas fresh pasta is generally avoided.in amatrice, use of guanciale and tomato is typical.onion is not favoured, although it is shown in the classical handbooks of roman cuisine.for frying, olive oil is most commonly used, but strutto (canned pork lard) is used as well.in amatrice, the local pecorino is sometimes used as cheese.for cheese either pecorino romano or amatrice's pecorino (from the monti sibillini or monti della laga areas) can be used.the addition of black pepper or chili pepper is common.vie piazze e ville di roma nel loro valore storico e topografico (in italian).roma: libreria di scienze e lettere.boni, ada (1983) [1930].la cucina romana (in italian).roma: newton compton editori.gosetti della salda, anna (1967).le ricette regionali italiane (in italian).milano: solares.carnacina, luigi; buonassisi, vincenzo (1975).roma in cucina (in italian).milano: giunti martello.faccioli, emilio (1987).l'arte della cucina in italia (in italian).milano: einaudi.ravaro, fernando (2005).dizionario romanesco (in italian).roma: newton compton.isbn 9788854117921.","amatriciana sauce | country | italy amatriciana sauce | ingredient | tomato","sugo all'amatriciana (italian pronunciation: [ˈsuːɡo allamatriˈtʃaːna]), or alla matriciana (in romanesco dialect), also known as salsa all'amatriciana, is a traditional italian pasta sauce based on guanciale (cured pork cheek), pecorino romano cheese, tomato, and, in some variations, onion.in the 1960s, amatriciana sauce was still prepared in this way in amatrice itself.the invention of the first tomato sauces (and the likely earliest date for the introduction of tomato in the gricia, creating amatriciana) dates back to the late 18th century.the first written record of pasta with tomato sauce can be found in the 1790 cookbook l'apicio moderno by roman chef francesco leonardi.the amatriciana recipe became increasingly famous in rome over the 19th and early 20th centuries, due to the centuries-old connection between rome and amatrice.the name of the dish in the romanesco dialect eventually became matriciana due to the apheresis typical of this dialect.while tomato-less gricia is still prepared in central italy, it is the tomato-enriched amatriciana that is better known throughout italy and exported everywhere."

islamic architecture and one of the best-preserved palaces of the historic islamic world, in addition to containing notable examples of spanish renaissance architecture.the complex was begun in 1238 by muhammad i ibn al-ahmar, the first nasrid emir and founder of the emirate of granada, the last muslim state of al-andalus.it was built on the sabika hill, an outcrop of the sierra nevada which had been the site of earlier fortresses and of the 11th-century palace of samuel ibn naghrillah.later nasrid rulers continuously modified the site.the most significant construction campaigns, which gave the royal palaces much of their definitive character, took place in the 14th century during the reigns of yusuf i and muhammad v. after the conclusion of the christian reconquista in 1492, the site became the royal court of ferdinand and isabella (where christopher columbus received royal endorsement for his expedition), and the palaces were partially altered.in 1526, charles v commissioned a new renaissance-style palace in direct juxtaposition with the nasrid palaces, but it was left uncompleted in the early 17th century.after being allowed to fall into disrepair for centuries, with its buildings occupied by squatters, the alhambra was rediscovered following the defeat of napoleon i, whose troops destroyed parts of the site.the rediscoverers were first british intellectuals and then other american and northern european romantic travelers.the most influential of them was washington irving, whose tales of the alhambra (1832) brought international attention to the site.the alhambra was one of the first islamic monuments to become the object of modern scientific study and has been the subject of numerous restorations since the 19th century.it is now one of spain's major tourist attractions and a unesco world heritage site.during the nasrid era, the alhambra was a self-contained city separate from the rest of granada below.it contained most of the amenities of a muslim city such as a friday mosque, hammams (public baths), roads, houses, artisan workshops, a tannery, and a sophisticated water supply system.as a royal city and citadel, it contained at least six major palaces, most of them located along the northern edge where they commanded views over the albaicín quarter.the most famous and best-preserved are the mexuar, the comares palace, the palace of the lions, and the partal palace, which form the main attraction to visitors today.the other palaces are known from historical sources and from modern excavations.at the alhambra's western tip is the alcazaba fortress.multiple smaller towers and fortified gates are also located along the alhambra's walls.outside the alhambra walls and located nearby to the east is the generalife, a former nasrid country estate and summer palace accompanied by historic orchards and modern landscaped gardens.the architecture of the nasrid palaces reflects the tradition of moorish architecture developed over previous centuries.it is characterized by the use of the courtyard as a central space and basic unit around which other halls and rooms were organized.courtyards typically had water features at their center, such as a reflective pool or a fountain.decoration was focused on the inside of the building and was executed primarily with tile mosaics on lower walls and carved stucco on the upper walls.geometric patterns, vegetal motifs, and arabic inscriptions were the main types of decorative motifs.additionally, 'stalactite'-like sculpting, known as muqarnas, was used for three-dimensional features like vaulted ceilings.'the red one' (f.), the complete form of which was الْقَلْعَةُ ٱلْحَمْرَاءُ al-qalʻat al-ḥamrāʼ 'the red fortress (qalat)'.","alhambra | status | wrecked","no related

"deep submergence vessel nr-1 was a unique united states navy (usn) nuclear-powered ocean engineering and research submarine, built by the electric boat division of general dynamics at groton, connecticut.nr-1 was launched on 25 january 1969, completed initial sea trials 19 august 1969, and was home-ported at naval submarine base new london.nr-1 was the smallest nuclear submarine ever put into operation.the vessel was casually known as 'nerwin' and was never officially named or commissioned.the u.s. navy is allocated a specific number of warships by the u.s. congress, but admiral hyman rickover avoided using one of those allocations for the construction of nr-1 in order to circumvent the oversight that a warship receives from various bureaus.nr-1 had the unique capability to remain at one site and completely map or search an area with a high degree of accuracy, and this was a valuable asset on several occasions.in the 1970s and 1980s, nr-1 conducted numerous classified missions involving recovery of objects from the floor of the deep sea.these missions remain classified and few details have been made public.one publicly acknowledged mission in 1976 was to recover parts of an f-14 that were lost from the deck of an aircraft carrier and sank with at least one aim-54a phoenix air-to-air missile.the secrecy typical of usn submarine operations was heightened by rickover's personal involvement, and he shared details of nr-1 operations only on a need-to-know basis.rickover envisioned building a small fleet of nr-1 type submarines, but only one was built due to budget restrictions.following the loss of the space shuttle challenger in 1986, nr-1 was used to search for, identify, and recover critical parts of the challenger craft.it could remain on the sea floor without resurfacing frequently, and was a major tool for searching deep waters.nr-1 remained submerged and on station even when heavy weather and rough seas hit the area and forced all other search and recovery ships into port.: 65 in october 1994, a survey was done by the nr-1 off the florida straits 65 km southwest of key west where it encountered and explored an uncharted sink hole.on 2 december 1998, an advisory committee approved the name 'nr-1' for the hole.in 1995, robert ballard used the nr-1 and its support ship mv carolyn chouest to explore the wreck of hmhs britannic, the sister ship of rms titanic, which sank off the coast of greece while serving as a hospital ship during world war i.on 25 february 2007, nr-1 arrived in galveston, texas, towed by carolyn chouest, in preparation for an expedition to survey the flower garden banks national marine sanctuary and other sites in the gulf of mexico.nr-1 was deactivated on 21 november 2008 at the u.s. navy submarine base at groton, connecticut, defuelled at portsmouth naval shipyard in kittery, maine, then sent to puget sound naval shipyard to be scrapped.on 13 november 2013, the u.s. navy announced that salvaged pieces of the sub would be put on display at the submarine force library and museum in groton.its features included extending bottoming wheels, three viewing ports, exterior lighting, television and still cameras for color photographic studies, an object recovery claw, a manipulator that could be fitted with various gripping and cutting tools, and a work basket that could be used in conjunction with the manipulator to deposit or recover items in the sea.surface vision was provided by a television periscope permanently installed on a fixed mast in her sail area.: 6  nr-1 had sophisticated

"antares (), known during early development as taurus ii, is an expendable launch system developed by orbital sciences corporation (now part of northrop grumman) and the pivdenne design bureau to launch the cygnus spacecraft to the international space station as part of nasa's cots and crs programs.able to launch payloads heavier than 8,000 kg (18,000 lb) into low earth orbit, antares is currently the largest rocket operated by northrop grumman.antares launches from the mid-atlantic regional spaceport and made its inaugural flight on april 21, 2013.nasa awarded orbital a commercial orbital transportation services (cots) space act agreement (saa) in 2008 to demonstrate delivery of cargo to the international space station.for these cots missions orbital intends to use antares to launch its cygnus spacecraft.in addition, antares will compete for small-to-medium missions.originally designated the taurus ii, orbital sciences renamed the vehicle antares, after the star of the same name, on december 12, 2011.out of 17 total launches, antares has suffered one failure.during the fifth launch on october 28, 2014, the rocket failed catastrophically, and the vehicle and payload were destroyed.the rocket's first-stage engines were identified as the cause for the failure.a different engine was chosen for subsequent launches, and the rocket had a successful return to flight on october 17, 2016.the antares has flown two major design iterations, the 100 series and 200 series.both series have used a castor 30xl as an upper stage but have differed on the first stage.the 100 series used two kerolox powered aj26 engine in the first stage and launched successfully four times.the 100 series was retired following a launch failure in 2014.the 200 series which first flew in 2016 also featured a kerolox first stage but instead used two rd-181 engine along with other minor upgrades.the 200 series future became uncertain following the russian invasion of ukraine.due to the first stage being produced in ukraine and the engines in russia, future production of the rocket was unable to be continued.as a result northrop grumman entered into an agreement with firefly aerospace to build the first stage of the antares 300 series.northrop also contracted with spacex for 3 falcon 9 launches.a commercial resupply service contract of $1.9 billion for eight flights was awarded in 2008.as of april 2012, development costs were estimated at $472 million.in june 2008, it was announced that the mid-atlantic regional spaceport, formerly part of the wallops flight facility, in virginia, would be the primary launch site for the rocket.launch pad 0a (lp-0a), previously used for the failed conestoga rocket, would be modified to handle antares.wallops allows launches which reach the international space station's orbit as effectively as those from cape canaveral, florida, while being less crowded.the first antares flight launched a cygnus mass simulator.on december 10, 2009, alliant techsystems inc.

"alfred garth jones (1872–1955) was an english artist and illustrator who worked mainly in woodcut, pen and ink line art drawing and watercolour.at that time, thomas jones was a mechanical draughtsman although he later progressed to become an engineering lecturer.in the united kingdom census 1881, alfred is listed (aged 8) with the rest of his family (ada, mary, thomas, alfred, ernest, robert, maud and later percy) which was resident in moss side, then a manchester suburb.at age 18, alfred was still living with his parents and was studying art in manchester.it seems that within a few years he had moved to london in order to advance his career in the arts.this was most probably in order to become a student at the national art training school in south kensington, an institution that would become the royal college of art in 1896.the march 1901 edition of the poster and art collector publication included an article entitled 'some remarks on the work of alfred garth jones' (by the editor).this describes how jones continued his training by attending the slade school of fine art as a pupil of professor fred brown.he then extended his studies in paris at the académie julian where he was directed by jean-joseph benjamin-constant and jean-paul laurens, before returning to england in 1894.on 15 december 1898 alfred married harriette napier osborne (a farmer's daughter b 10 december 1875 in marden, kent) at the parish church (now chelsea old church) in the parish of st. luke, chelsea, london.the ceremony was attended by alfred's father, thomas, and by harriette's mother, lydia napier osborne (née hardy).by the time of the united kingdom census 1901 the couple were living on the king's road, chelsea.in 1911, alfred and harriette were living in wandsworth with their 5-year-old daughter, barbara garth jones.the census of that year records that harriette had by this time given birth to two children.brian garth jones had been born in 1902 but had died aged four.the census forms in the united kingdom were then required to be completed by the head of the household, for that individual address, and this document bears the name and signature 'alfred garth jones'.the reason for choosing this name is not known, but may have been influenced by the welsh ancestry of his forefathers.his earlier works were signed a garth jones (or a g j), although later this was shortened to garth jones.jones' illustrations were used in several notable publications around the start of the 20th century, including works by tennyson, h.g.wells, john milton, conan doyle and carmen sylva.in 1894, the first examples of jones' illustrations appeared in 'the tournament of love' by william theodore peters and 'fairy tales from classic myths for boys and girls' by charles h smith.two years later, jones edited the beam, a bi-monthly magazine published by students of the national art training schools.there were only three editions produced between january and may 1896.from 1896 to nearly the end of 1899, alfred was design master at the lambeth school of art.in 1898, he produced a woodcut portrayal of the bound samson in a collection of john milton's poems.by 1901, jones' reputation was sufficient that he was selected, along with harold nelson, by elisabeth of wied (queen consort of carol i of romania) to illustrate the english edition of a book of verse (a real queen's fairy book, published by george newnes ltd) which she had written under the pen name of carmen sylva.in france at around the same time, jérôme doucet (1865–1957) chose jones to be the illustrator for his 'contes de la fileuse' (tales of the spinner).","alfred garth jones | birthplace | england alfred garth jones | birthyear | 1872","alfred garth jones (1872–1955) was an english artist and illustrator who worked mainly in woodcut, pen and ink line art drawing and watercolour." "argentina (spanish pronunciation: [aɾxenˈtina] (listen)), officially the argentine republic (spanish: república argentina), is a country in the southern half of south america.argentina covers an area of 2,780,400 km2 (1,073,500 sq mi), making it the second-largest country in south america after brazil, the fourth-largest country in the americas, and the eighth-largest country in the world.it shares the bulk of the southern cone with chile to the west, and is also bordered by bolivia and paraguay to the north, brazil to the northeast, uruguay and the south atlantic ocean to the east, and the drake passage to the south.argentina is a federal state subdivided into twenty-three provinces, and one autonomous city, which is the federal capital and largest city of the nation, buenos aires.the provinces and the capital have their own constitutions, but exist under a federal system.argentina claims sovereignty over the falkland islands, south georgia and the south sandwich islands, and a part of antarctica.the earliest recorded human presence in modern-day argentina dates back to the paleolithic period.the inca empire expanded to the northwest of the country in pre-columbian times.the country has its roots in spanish colonization of the region during the 16th century.argentina rose as the successor state of the viceroyalty of the río de la plata, a spanish overseas viceroyalty founded in 1776.the declaration and fight for independence (1810–1818) was followed by an extended civil war that lasted until 1861, culminating in the country's reorganization as a federation.the country thereafter enjoyed relative peace and stability, with several waves of european immigration, mainly italians and spaniards, influencing its culture and demography.the almost-unparalleled increase in prosperity led to argentina becoming the seventh-wealthiest nation in the world by the early 20th century.in 1896, argentina's gdp per capita surpassed that of the united states and was consistently in the top ten before at least 1920.although it remained among the fifteen richest countries for several decades, following the great depression in the 1930s, argentina descended into political instability and economic decline that pushed it back into underdevelopment, being currently ranked 62nd in the world.following the death of president juan perón in 1974, his widow and vice president, isabel perón, ascended to the presidency, before being overthrown in 1976.the following military junta, which was supported by the united states, persecuted and murdered thousands of political critics, activists, and leftists in the dirty war, a period of state terrorism and civil unrest that lasted until the election of raúl alfonsín as president in 1983.argentina is a regional power, and retains its historic status as a middle power in international affairs.a major non-nato ally of the united states, argentina is a developing country with the second-highest hdi (human development index) in latin america after chile.it maintains the second-largest economy in south america, and is a member of g-15 and g20.argentina is also a founding member of the united nations, world bank, world trade organization, mercosur, community of latin american and caribbean states and the organization of ibero-american states.argentina (masculine argentino) means in italian '(made) of silver, silver coloured', derived from the latin 'argentum' for silver.in italian, the adjective or the proper noun is often used in an autonomous way as a substantive and replaces it and it is said l'argentina.the name argentina was probably first given by the venetian and genoese navigators, such as giovanni caboto.in spanish and portuguese, the words for 'silver' are respectively plata and prata and '(made) of silver' is plateado and prateado.argentina was first associated with the silver mountains legend, widespread among the first european explorers of the la plata basin.the first written use of the name in spanish can be traced to la argentina, a 1602 poem by martín del barco centenera describing the region.","argentina | leadername | gabriela

singer-songwriters of latin america.shortly after being born, blanca handed over her son to be raised by carlos durán, a man of many trades, and his wife, doraisella carbajal, then employed at the council for children, becoming alfredo 'pocho' durán.they lived in several cities neighbourhoods, and moved between 1944 and the end of 1947, they moved to the town of santiago vázquez.they frequently visited the countryside near trinidad, capital city of the flores department, where alfredo's adoptive mother was born.this childhood experience stayed with him forever, notably in his repertoire, the majority of which contains rhythms and songs of peasant origin, mainly milongas.alfredo briefly returned with his adoptive family, to montevideo and in early adolescence, moved on to live with his biological mother and her husband, the argentine alfredo nicolás zitarrosa, who would eventually give him his surname.together with his newborn sister, they lived in the area now known as rincón de la bolsa, at km.29.50 of the old route to colonia, san josé department.based there, he commuted to study at the high school in montevideo, where he eventually moved into his early youth.first he lived with the duráns and then in mrs. ema's pension, located at colonia and medanos (today barrios amorín) streets, to fill after the famous attic of the house which was used as a pension and was owned by blanca iribarne, his mother, located on yaguarón street (today aquiles lanza) 1021, in front of the plaza currently bearing his name nearby the central cemetery.he worked, among other duties, as a seller of furniture, subscriptions to a medical society, clerical and in a print shop.some time later -his first employer recalls with special affection- a certain pachelo, which was introduced by one of his colleagues in their usual trip to montevideo daily shipments during his high school years.he began his artistic career in 1954, as a radio broadcaster, entering as a presenter and entertainer, librettist and informativist, or even as an actor.he was also a writer, poet, and journalist, working for the famous weekly newspaper marcha.while he was in peru, forced by circumstances and somewhat fortuitously, he made his professional debut as a singer.this occurred on february 20, 1964, in a program on channel 13, panamericana television, thus beginning an uninterrupted career.zitarrosa once recalled this experience: 'no tenía ni un peso, pero sí muchos amigos.uno de ellos, césar durand, regenteaba una agencia de publicidad y por sorpresa me incluyó en un programa de tv, y me obligó a

"bandeja paisa (paisa refers to a person from the paisa region and bandeja is spanish for platter), with variations known as bandeja de arriero, bandeja montañera, or bandeja antioqueña, is one of the most representative meals in colombian cuisine, especially of the antioquia department and the paisa region, as well as with the colombian coffee-growers axis (the departments of caldas, quindío and risaralda), and part of valle del cauca and the northwest of tolima.the main characteristic of this dish is the generous amount and variety of food in a traditional bandeja paisa: red beans cooked with pork, white rice, carne molida (ground meat), chicharrón, fried egg, plantain (plátano maduro), chorizo, arepa, hogao sauce, black pudding (morcilla), avocado and lemon.it is served in a platter or a tray.in the 19th century, french and british colonialists also brought their cuisine with them.the current form and presentation of the paisa platter is relatively recent.there are no references in the food writing about this dish before 1950.it is probably an interpretation of the local restaurants of simpler peasant dishes.one of its most prominent features is the juxtaposition of native american and european ingredients, which is also observed in other mestizo dishes of latin american cuisine, such as venezuelan pabellón criollo or costa rican gallo pinto.side dishes include mazamorra (a maize-derived beverage similar to atole) with milk and ground panela.there are several variants of the dish all over the country with deletion or addition of ingredients, which cannot be recognized as bandeja paisa in the strictest sense.some antioquian restaurants offer an 'extended' bandeja paisa, also known as 'seven meats platter', which contains, besides the aforementioned ingredients, grilled steak, grilled pork and liver.a diet-friendly version of the dish is very popular in bogotá, which replaces pork with grilled chicken breast, black pudding with salad and chorizo with a wiener.a number of people opposed this designation, arguing that only a small percentage of the colombian population consumes it on a regular basis and that it originated in a single region of colombia (antioquia).however, the suggested alternative, sancocho, is not a distinctively colombian dish, as it is known and enjoyed in many other countries, such as cuba, venezuela, the canary islands, puerto rico, the dominican republic and panama.due to the widespread ubiquity of sancocho, often colombian ajiaco is instead considered the most indicative colombian dish.nonetheless, the commercial colombian tourism industry has pushed ahead without official government sanction by emblazoning ads, menus, and brochure information with imagery of the bandeja paisa as the single most typical colombian dish.","bandeja paisa | ingredient | chicharrón bandeja paisa | country | colombian cuisine","bandeja paisa (paisa refers to a person from the paisa region and bandeja is spanish for platter), with variations known as bandeja de arriero, bandeja montañera, or bandeja antioqueña, is one of the most representative meals in colombian cuisine, especially of the antioquia department and the paisa region, as well as with the colombian coffee-growers axis (the departments of caldas, quindío and risaralda), and part of valle del cauca and the northwest of tolima.the main characteristic of this dish is the generous amount and variety of food in a traditional bandeja paisa: red beans cooked with pork, white rice, carne molida (ground meat), chicharrón, fried egg, plantain (plátano maduro), chorizo, arepa, hogao sauce, black pudding (morcilla), avocado and lemon.in the 19th century, french and british colonialists also brought their cuisine with them.the current form and presentation of the paisa platter is relatively recent.nonetheless, the commercial colombian tourism industry has pushed ahead without official government sanction by emblazoning ads, menus, and brochure information with imagery of the bandeja paisa as the single most typical colombian dish."

it came to encompass western music, which evolved parallel to hillbilly music from similar roots, in the mid-20th century.contemporary styles of western music include texas country, red dirt, and hispano- and mexican american-led tejano and new mexico music, all extant alongside longstanding indigenous traditions.in 2009, in the united states, country music was the most listened to rush hour radio genre during the evening commute, and second most popular in the morning commute.according to country historian bill c. malone, country music was 'introduced to the world as a southern phenomenon.'migration into the southern appalachian mountains, of the southeastern united states, brought the folk music and instruments of europe, africa, and the mediterranean basin along with it for nearly 300 years, which developed into appalachian music.as the country expanded westward, the mississippi river and louisiana became a crossroads for country music, giving rise to cajun music.in the southwestern united states, it was the rocky mountains, american frontier, and rio grande that acted as a similar backdrop for native american, mexican, and cowboy ballads, which resulted in new mexico music and the development of western music, and its directly related red dirt, texas country, and tejano music styles.in the asia-pacific, the steel guitar sound of country music has its provenance in the music of hawaii.since 2014, the city has been home to the birthplace of country music museum.historians have also noted the influence of the less-known johnson city sessions of 1928 and 1929, and the knoxville sessions of 1929 and 1930.in addition, the mountain city fiddlers convention, held in 1925, helped to inspire modern country music.before these, pioneer settlers, in the great smoky mountains region, had developed a rich musical heritage.james gideon 'gid' tanner (1885–1960) was an american old-time fiddler and one of the earliest stars of what would come to be known as country music.his band, the skillet lickers, was one of the most innovative and influential string bands of the 1920s and 1930s.its most notable members were clayton mcmichen (fiddle and vocal), dan hornsby (vocals), riley puckett (guitar and vocal) and robert lee sweat (guitar).new york city record label okeh records began issuing hillbilly music records by fiddlin' john carson as early as 1923, followed by columbia records (series 15000d 'old familiar tunes') (samantha bumgarner) in 1924, and rca victor records in 1927 with the first famous pioneers of the genre jimmie rodgers, who is widely considered the 'father of country music', and the first family of country music the carter family.many 'hillbilly' musicians recorded blues songs throughout the 1920s.during the second generation (1930s–1940s), radio became a popular source of entertainment, and 'barn dance' shows featuring country music were started all over the south, as far north as chicago, and as far west as california.","country music | instrument | banjo al anderson nrbq band | genre | country music","first produced in the 1920s, country primarily focuses on working class americans and blue-collar american life.country music is known for its ballads and dance tunes (also known as 'honky-tonk music') with simple form, folk lyrics, and harmonies accompanied by instruments such as banjos, fiddles, harmonicas, and many types of guitar (including acoustic, electric, steel, and resonator guitars)."

the netherlands east indies (nederlandsch oost indië), popularly indië; the east (de oost); and insulinde.after 1900, indonesia became more common in academic circles outside the netherlands, and native nationalist groups adopted it for political expression.adolf bastian of the university of berlin popularized the name through his book indonesien oder die inseln des malayischen archipels, 1884–1894.the first native scholar to use the name was ki hajar dewantara when in 1913, he established a press bureau in the netherlands, indonesisch pers-bureau.homo sapiens reached the region around 43,000 bce.austronesian peoples, who form the majority of the modern population, migrated to southeast asia from what is now taiwan.","indonesia | leadername | joko widodo bakso | country | indonesia","no related information" "aaron boogaard (born august 11, 1986) is a former professional ice hockey player who most recently played for the wichita thunder of the echl.he signed a three-year entry level contract with the pittsburgh penguins on april 23, 2007.he spent the majority of the 2007–08 season with the wheeling nailers, the penguins' echl affiliate, appearing in only two games with wilkes-barre/scranton.boogaard appeared in 41 games for wilkes-barre/scranton during the following season.after being cleared of his charges connected to the death of his brother, boogaard was offered a chance to continue his professional hockey career by receiving a training camp invite to the houston aeros, the ahl affiliate of the minnesota wild.aeros general manager jim mill has mentioned that boogaard may be signed to a two-way contract between the aeros and a team in the echl or central hockey league.he was charged with the unlawful distribution of a controlled substance, oxycodone, and with interfering with a crime scene for misleading the coroner or concealing evidence in the death of his brother, derek boogaard.on october 6, 2011, hennepin county district judge william howard said the facts of the case didn't support the charge, being that aaron did not buy the pills, and dismissed the felony charge of unlawful distribution of a controlled substance against boogaard.boogaard would later plea guilty to interfering with the scene of a death.as a result of boogaard's guilty plea, he received two years probation and eighty hours community service (which must be completed within the next year.)while the emphasis in the camp does cover fighting, boogaard has countered by saying that with the league becoming bigger, stronger, and faster, the camp focuses with safety on the ice and how a player would defend themselves in the event of a fight.he is the brother of the late derek boogaard, who had also spent the majority of his career with the minnesota wild.aaron boogaard had his first child in 2019.","aaron boogaard | club | wichita thunder aaron boogaard | birthplace | saskatchewan","aaron boogaard (born august 11, 1986) is a former professional ice hockey player who most recently played for the wichita thunder of the echl."

"the amc matador is a series of american automobiles that were manufactured and marketed by american motors corporation (amc) across two generations, 1971–1973 (mid-size) and 1974–1978 (full-size), in two-door hardtop (first generation) and coupe (second generation) versions, as well as in four-door sedan and station wagon body styles.the first generation matador was focused on the 'family' market segment and was also offered in performance versions as highlighted in the nascar racing series with factory support from 1972 through 1975.with its second generation, the matador became amc's largest automobile after the ambassador, which shared the same platform, was discontinued after the 1974 model year.premium trim levels of the second generation matador coupe were marketed as the barcelona and oleg cassini (after the noted fashion designer) positioning the coupe in the personal luxury segment.the matador was fairly popular as a police car in the united states, and several television series featured matadors in prominent roles.abroad, matadors were also marketed under the rambler marque and were assembled under license in costa rica, mexico by vehículos automotores mexicanos (vam), and australia by australian motor industries (ami).matadors were also marketed in overseas markets that included exports of right-hand drive versions to the uk.with a facelift and a new name, the amc matadors were available as a two-door hardtop, four-door sedan, and station wagon body styles.the matador shared a modified platform with the full-size ambassador line with a shorter wheelbase.although related directly to the previous rebel models, amc began promoting the matador as more than a change in name with a slight facelift, to reposition the line in the highly competitive intermediate-car segment among consumers.the advertising campaign was built around the question 'what's a matador?'sedan and wagon models 'offered excellent value and were fairly popular' cars.matadors were also offered to fleet buyers with various police, taxicab, and other heavy-duty packages.they outperformed most other cars and 'was adopted as the official police car.'matadors became popular with government agencies and military units as well as police departments in the u.s. and the sedans and wagons were typically equipped with 360 cu in (5.9 l) or 401 cu in (6.6 l) v8 engines.matadors with heavy-duty police equipment were produced from 1971 through 1975.they continued to be in service longer than normal because of favorable field reports.the matador received a redesign in 1974, in part to meet new safety and crash requirements.the most significant change was to the two-door version.the hardtop was the slowest-selling body style in the matador line although it was in a market segment where two-door models were typically the most popular - and also most profitable.as a result, the boxy two-door hardtop body design was replaced with a completely different and sleeker coupe model 'to contend with the bull market for plush mid-size coupes that sprang up after the end of the muscle car era'.it also featured a design that was praised by owners along with their complaints about its low roofline.the design of the matador coupe has been described as 'polarizing' as well as being 'an evocative, swoopy coupe that perfectly captured the design ethos of the era.'factory-backed first-generation hardtops and second-generation coupes competed in nascar stock car racing from 1972 through 1975.drivers included mark donohue and bobby allison winning several races including the 1975 southern 500 at darlington.the amc matador captured five first-place wins.matadors in police livery were featured in television shows and movies during the 1970s.the matador coupe was a featured car and also a scale model of it was used as a flying car in the man with the golden gun, a james bond film released in 1974.","amc matador | assembly | kenosha wisconsin amc matador | modelyears | 1974","the amc matador is a series of american automobiles that were manufactured and marketed by american motors corporation (amc) across two generations, 1971–1973 (mid-size) and 1974–1978 (full-size), in two-door hardtop (first generation) and coupe (second generation) versions, as well as in four-door sedan and station wagon body styles.with its second generation, the matador became amc's largest automobile after the ambassador, which shared the same platform, was discontinued after the 1974 model year.they continued to be in service longer than normal because of favorable field reports.the matador received a redesign in 1974, in part to meet new safety and crash requirements.the matador coupe was a featured car and also a scale model of it was used as a flying car in the man with the golden gun, a james bond film released in 1974."

"american motors corporation (amc; commonly referred to as american motors) was an american automobile manufacturing company formed by the merger of nash-kelvinator corporation and hudson motor car company on may 1, 1954.at the time, it was the largest corporate merger in u.s. history.american motors' most similar competitors were those automakers that held similar annual sales levels such as studebaker, packard, kaiser motors, and willys-overland.their largest competitors were the big three—ford, general motors, and chrysler.american motors' production line included small cars - the rambler american, which began as the nash rambler in 1950, hornet, gremlin, and pacer; intermediate and full-sized cars, including the ambassador, rambler classic, rebel, and matador; muscle cars, including the marlin, amx, and javelin; and early four-wheel drive variants of the eagle and the jeep wagoneer, the first true crossovers in the u.s. market.regarded as 'a small company deft enough to exploit special market segments left untended by the giants', american motors was widely known for the design work of chief stylist dick teague, who 'had to make do with a much tighter budget than his counterparts at detroit's big three', but 'had a knack for making the most of his employer's investment'.after periods of intermittent independent success, renault acquired a major interest in american motors in 1979, and the company was ultimately acquired by chrysler in 1987.the new corporation would be called the american motors corporation.an earlier corporation with the same name, co-founded by louis chevrolet, had existed in plainfield, new jersey from 1916 through 1922 before merging into the bessemer–american motors corporation.the nash-kelvinator/hudson deal was a straight stock transfer (three shares of hudson listed at 11⅛, for two shares of american motors and one share of nash-kelvinator listed at 17⅜, for one share of american motors) and finalized in the spring of 1954, forming the fourth-biggest auto company in the u.s. with assets of us$355 million and more than $100 million in working capital.the new company retained hudson ceo a.e.barit as a consultant and he took a seat on the board of directors.nash's george w. mason became president and ceo.mason, the architect of the merger, believed that the survival of the u.s.'s remaining independent automakers was dependent on their joining in one multiple-brand company capable of challenging the big three as an equal.the 'frantic 1953–54 ford/gm price war' had a devastating impact on the remaining 'independent' automakers.the reasons for the merger between nash and hudson included helping cut costs and strengthen their sales organizations to meet the intense competition expected from autos' big three.one quick result from the merger was the doubling up with nash on purchasing and production, allowing hudson to cut prices an average of $155 on the wasp line, and up to $204 on the more expensive hornet models.after the merger, amc had its first profitable quarter during the second three months of 1955, earning $1,592,307, compared to a loss of $3,848,667 during the same period in the previous year.mason also entered into informal discussions with james j. nance of packard to outline his strategic vision.interim plans were made for american motors to buy packard ultramatic automatic transmissions and packard v8 engines for certain american motors products.in july 1954, packard acquired studebaker.the new studebaker-packard corporation (s-p) made the new 320 cu in (5.2 l) packard v8 engine and packard's ultramatic automatic transmission available to american motors for its 1955 nash ambassador and hudson hornet models.when mason died in 1954, george w. romney succeeded him.ironically, romney had once been offered nance's job.in 1948, romney received offers from packard for the post of chief operating officer and from nash for the number two position in the company.","american motors | successor | eagle automobile amc matador | manufacturer | american motors","american motors corporation (amc; commonly referred to as american motors) was an american automobile manufacturing company formed by the merger of nash-kelvinator corporation and hudson motor car company on may 1, 1954.american motors' production line included small cars - the rambler american, which began as the nash rambler in 1950, hornet, gremlin, and pacer; intermediate and full-sized cars, including the ambassador, rambler classic, rebel, and matador; muscle cars, including the marlin, amx, and javelin; and early four-wheel drive variants of the eagle and the jeep wagoneer, the first true crossovers in the u.s. market."

"brandon () is the second-largest city in the province of manitoba, canada.it is located in the southwestern corner of the province on the banks of the assiniboine river, approximately 214 km (133 mi) west of the provincial capital, winnipeg, and 120 km (75 mi) east of the saskatchewan border.brandon covers an area of 77.41 km2 (29.89 sq mi) with a population of 51,313, and a census metropolitan area population of 54,268.it is the primary hub of trade and commerce for the westman region as well as parts of southeastern saskatchewan and northern north dakota, an area with a combined population of over 190,000 people.the city of brandon was incorporated in 1882, having a history rooted in the assiniboine river fur trade as well as its role as a major junction on the canadian pacific railway.known as the wheat city, brandon's economy is predominantly associated with agriculture, as well as health care, manufacturing, food processing, education, business services, and transportation.brandon's post-secondary institutions include brandon university, assiniboine community college, robertson college, and the manitoba emergency services college.canadian forces base shilo is located 30 km (19 mi) east of brandon and maintains close ties with the city.brandon's keystone centre, one of the largest consolidated entertainment, recreation, convention, and agriculture complexes in canada, is the home of the brandon wheat kings and the royal manitoba winter fair.in the 1870s and early 1880s, the plains bison were nearly wiped out by over-hunting.with the destruction of their staff of life, the buffalo, the nomadic sioux people began to agree to settle in reservations such as the sioux valley dakota nation, or left the area entirely.french canadians also passed through the area on river boats on their way to the hudson bay post, fort ellice located near present-day st. lazare, manitoba.the city of brandon gets its name from the blue hills south of the city, which got their name from a hudson's bay trading post known as brandon house, which got its name from a hill on an island in james bay where captain james had anchored his ship in 1631.during the 1870s it was believed by most that the transcontinental railway would take a northwesterly direction from portage la prairie.many thought that the route would most likely go through either minnedosa or rapid city, manitoba because they were both located at natural river crossings.rapid city was the front runner for the site of the new railway and had prepared for the impending building boom accordingly.but suddenly, in 1881, the builders of the railway decided to take a more westerly route from winnipeg, towards grand valley.grand valley was located on the northern side of the assiniboine, opposite the side of the river where present-day brandon sits.grand valley was originally settled by two brothers john and dougal mcvicar, and their families.with the expectation of the new railroad, settlers and prospectors now rushed to an area they had previously avoided.around 1879 a few settlers led by reverend george roddick had begun to build their new homes about 10 miles (16 km) south of grand valley, at the foot of the brandon hills.meanwhile, in grand valley with the promise of the railway, the town began to boom.regular voyages were made by steam sternwheelers to the city, each bringing more and more settlers.in the spring of 1881, general thomas l. rosser, chief engineer of the canadian pacific railway arrived in grand valley.it was rosser's job to choose the townsites for the railway.rosser approached dougald mcvicar of grand valley and offered him $25,000 for the railway in grand valley.","brandon manitoba | leadername | conservative party of canada alex plante | birthplace | brandon manitoba","brandon () is the second-largest city in the province of manitoba, canada.brandon's keystone centre, one of the largest consolidated entertainment, recreation, convention, and agriculture complexes in canada, is the home of the brandon wheat kings and the royal manitoba winter fair."

later on.it coincided with deteriorating performance in the league.after 2007-08 they were relegated for the first time to pirveli liga, where as debutants the club took 8th place in an 11-team league.overall, dinamo spent next five seasons out of six in the second division.the silver, taken in 2015, was followed by the bronze the next year, but in 2017 dinamo entered a period of instability

five months later.aslan baladze took charge of the team, which finished the season in the relegation zone, despite having some experienced players such as otar martsvaladze, david kvirkvelia and elguja grigalashvili in the squad.dinamo suffered a worse setback in the play-off as dramatic two-leg tie against sioni bolnisi ended 5:5 on aggregate and the penalty shoot-out determined the winner.prior to the new season in liga 2 gia geguchadze was appointed in the club and with the promotion set as their only goal, dinamo convincingly won the league by an 11-point margin.100% share of dinamo batumi owned by the adjarian government was awarded to lamini ltd for 49 years.besides, a new prospect emerged for the issue of football ground, which had plagued the club for so long.while dinamo played home matches either on their training base or at rugby arena, in january the government inaugurated the construction of new uefa category iv stadium with the capacity of 20,000 seats due to be completed in late 2020.back in the top flight dinamo rushed to the title-chasing battle, in which they initially performed beyond expectations.as no other newly promoted club had ever won the

replace the db6 model and had designed a larger, more modern looking car.the engine was not ready, however, so in 1967 the company released the dbs with the straight-six vantage engine from the db6.two years later, tadek marek's v8 was ready, and aston released the dbs v8.with the demise of the straight-six vantage in 1973, the dbs v8, now restyled and called simply the aston martin v8, became the company's mainstream car for nearly two decades.it was eventually retired in favour of the virage in 1989.though the body and name was shared with the six-cylinder dbs, the v8 sold for much more.the body was a modern reinterpretation of the traditional aston martin look, with a squared-off grille and four headlights (william towns admitted that the rear quarters were 'borrowed' from the early ford mustang).distinguishing features of the v8 model are the larger front air dam, 225/70vr15 tyres and lack of wire wheels, though some six-cylinder dbs cars also used the v8's alloy wheels.the tail lights were taken from the hillman hunter.a road test report of the time noted that the car had gained 250 lb (113 kg) in weight with the fitting of the v8 in place of the previously used six-cylinder unit, despite the manufacturer's assurance that the engine weighed only 30 lb (14 kg) more than the older straight-six.other contributions to the weight gain included heavier ventilated brake discs, air conditioning, fatter tyres, a new and stronger zf gearbox as well as some extra bodywork beneath the front bumper.marek's v8 engine displaced 5,340 cc (5.3 l; 325.9 cu in) and used bosch fuel injection.output was not officially released, but estimates center around 315 hp (235 kw).the dbs v8 could reach 100 km/h (62 mph) in 7.1 seconds and had a top speed of 242 km/h (150 mph).402 dbs v8s were built.a dbs v8 was planned to be used by roger moore's character brett sinclair in the television show, the persuaders!but no v8 car was available at that time so a six-cylinder dbs was modified to look like a v8 model for use in the show.it is based on a dbs v8 and two cars were commissioned by the tobacco company w.o.wills to promote their new premium brand of cigarettes: one show car with chassis number dbsv8/10380/r and one road going car with chassis number dbsv8/10381/rc.a third 'replica' car was commissioned by a private party.visual differences included twin quartz-halogen headlights and a mesh grille, a front design which was to last until the end of production in 1989.am v8 cars, produced from may 1972 through july 1973, used a similar engine to the dbs v8, albeit with bosch fuel injection rather than the earlier carburetors.just 288 series 2 cars were built.although david brown had left the company, he had overseen development of this model.the first 34 cars still carried leftover 'dbs v8' badging.these cars are distinguished by a taller hood scoop to accommodate four twin-choke (two-barrel) weber carbs.the car produced 310 hp (231 kw; 314 ps) and could reach 60 mph (97 km/h) in 6.1 seconds with an automatic transmission or 5.7 with a manual.performance suffered with emissions regulations, falling to 288 hp (215 kw; 292 ps) in 1976.the next year, a more powerful 'stage 1' engine with new camshafts and exhaust brought it up to 305 hp (227 kw; 309 ps).these cars either fitted 225/70vr15 avon turbospeed or 235/70vr15 turbospeed rolls-royce tyre on the auto models or the 255/60r15 pirelli cinturato cn12 off the vantage.","aston martin v8 | successor | aston martin virage aston martin virage | manufacturer | aston

"atlas ii was a member of the atlas family of launch vehicles, which evolved from the successful atlas missile program of the 1950s.the atlas ii was a direct evolution of the atlas i, featuring longer first stage tanks, higher-performing engines, and the option for strap-on solid rocket boosters.it was designed to launch payloads into low earth orbit, geosynchronous transfer orbit or geosynchronous orbit.sixty-three launches of the atlas ii, iia and iias models were carried out between 1991 and 2004; all sixty-three launches were successes, making the atlas ii a highly reliable space launch system.the atlas line was continued by the atlas iii, used between 2000 and 2005, and the atlas v which is still in use.additional commercial and u.s. government sales resulted in production increases leading to greater than 60 vehicles being produced and launched.atlas ii was developed from the atlas i and featured numerous upgrades over that vehicle.atlas ii was launched from launch complex 36 at cape canaveral space force station in florida as well as space launch complex 3e at vandenberg space force base in california.all launches were successful.the increased thrust, engine efficiency, and propellant capacity enabled the vehicle to lift payloads of 6,100 pounds (2,767 kg) into geostationary transfer orbit (gto), or more on later atlas ii variants.atlas ii also featured lower-cost electronics, an improved flight computer, and longer propellant tanks than its predecessor, atlas i.the stage was powered by 3 rs-56 rocket engines (derived from the rs-27 main engine of the delta ii rocket) burning 156 t (344,000 lb) of rp-1 and liquid oxygen.the two booster engines were the rs-56-oba variants (the complete assembly of both engines and the aft skirt was referred to as the ma-5a), with high thrust but moderate efficiency.the sustainer (center) engine was the rs-56-osa variant, featuring much less thrust but higher efficiency at high altitudes than the booster engines.the vernier engines used on the first stage of the atlas i (and all previous atlas models) were replaced by a hydrazine-fueled roll control system on atlas ii.this system, mounted on the interstage between the first and second stages, utilized small thrusters to control the vehicle's roll.compared to atlas i, the atlas ii first stage was 2.7 m (8 ft 10 in) taller.the atlas ii was the last atlas rocket to use the 'stage-and-a-half' technique, where it ignited all 3 rs-56 engines at liftoff and then jettisoned the 2 rs-56-oba side engines and their support structure during ascent.the two rs-56-oba engines were integrated into a single unit called the ma-5a and shared a common gas generator.they burned for approximately 164 seconds before being jettisoned, when acceleration reached approximately 5.0-5.5 g. the central sustainer engine on the first stage, an rs-56-osa, would burn for an additional 125 seconds after their jettison.it featured better efficiency at high altitudes than the rs-56-obas.the first stage also had the option to be fitted with 4 castor 4a solid rocket boosters as part of the iias version, each providing an additional 478.3 kn (107,500 lbf) of thrust for 56 seconds.the first two boosters were ignited at liftoff, and the other two were ignited after the first two burnt out.both pairs of boosters were jettisoned shortly after their respective burns.centaur ii featured 2 rl-10a-3-3a engines, burning liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen.it featured propellant tanks 0.9 meters longer than its predecessor, centaur i, giving the stage more propellant and therefore higher performance.due to the super cold propellants inside centaur, foam insulation was installed onto the outer metal skin on the stage to help mitigate propellant boiloff inside the tank.","atlas ii | finalflight | 1998-03-16 atlas ii | diameter | 304 m","no related information" "fc spartak moscow (russian: футбольный клуб «спартак» москва, romanized: futbolʹnyy klub «spartak» moskva, pronounced [spɐrˈtak mɐˈskva]) is a russian professional football club based in moscow.having won 12 soviet championships (second only to dynamo kyiv) and a record 10 russian championships, it is the country's most successful club.they have also won a record 10 soviet cups, 4 russian cups and one russian super cup.spartak have also reached the semi-finals of all three european club competitions.many statesmen saw in the wins of their teams the superiority over the opponents patronising other teams.almost all the teams had such kind of patrons; dynamo moscow aligned with the militsiya, cska moscow with the red army, and spartak, created by a trade union public organization, was considered to be 'the people's team'.the history of the football club and sports society 'spartak' originates from the russian gymnastics society (rgo 'sokol'), which was founded on 16 may 1883.the society was founded under the influence of the pan-slavic 'sokol movement' with the aim of promoting the 'sokolsk gymnastics' and then sports including fencing, wrestling, figure skating, skating, football, hockey, lawn tennis, boxing, skis, athletics, and cycling.in the rgo sokol began to play football in the summer of 1897; the professional football section was founded in the spring of 1909.on 1 august 1920, the football team began to officially act under the name mcs, or moscow sports club.in 1923, the mcs, later named krasnaya presnya (red presnya), was formed by ivan artemyev and involved nikolai starostin, especially in its football team.presnya is a district of moscow renowned for the radical politics of its inhabitants; for example, it represented the centre of the moscow uprising of 1905.the team grew, building a stadium, supporting itself from ticket sales and playing matches across the russian sfsr.as part of a 1926 reorganization of football in the soviet union, starostin arranged for the club to be sponsored by the food workers union and the club moved to the 13,000 seat tomsky stadium, known as pishcheviki.the team changed sponsors repeatedly over the following years as it competed with dinamo moscow, whose 35,000 seat dynamo stadium lay close by.as a high-profile sportsman, starostin came into close contact with alexander kosarev, secretary of the komsomol (communist union of youth) who already had a strong influence on sport and wanted to extend it.in november 1934, with funding from promkooperatsiia, kosarev employed starostin and his brothers to develop his team to make it more powerful.again the team changed its name, this time to 'spartak moscow' (the name spartak means 'spartacus', a gladiator who led an uprising against ancient rome).the club founders, four starostin brothers, played a big role in the formation of the team.the starostins played for the red-whites in the 1930s but right before world war ii they were subjected to repression as the leaders of the most hated team by the state authorities.elder brother nikolai starostin wrote in his books that he had survived in the state prison system due to his participation in football and with spartak (after the political rehabilitation, in 1954, he would later return to the team as the squad's manager).in 1935, starostin proposed the name spartak.it was inspired by the italian novel spartaco, written by raffaello giovagnoli, and means spartacus ('spartak' in russian), a gladiator-slave who led a rebellion against rome.starostin is also credited with the creation of the spartak logo.the same year, the club became a part of newly created spartak sports society.czechoslovak manager antonin fivebr is credited as the first head coach of spartak, though he worked as a consultant in several clubs simultaneously.","fc spartak moscow | ground | otkrytiye arena aleksandr prudnikov | club | fc spartak moscow","no related information" "madrid ( mə-drid, spanish: [maˈðɾið]) is the capital and most populous city of spain.the city has almost 3.6 million inhabitants and a metropolitan area population of approximately 6.7 million.it is the second-largest city in the european union (eu), and its monocentric metropolitan area is the second-largest in the eu.the municipality covers 604.3 km2 (233.3 sq mi) geographical area.madrid lies on the river manzanares in the central part of the iberian peninsula.capital city of both spain (almost without interruption since 1561) and the surrounding autonomous community of madrid (since 1983), it is also the political, economic and cultural centre of the country.the city is situated on an elevated plain about 300 km (190 mi) from the closest seaside location.the climate of madrid features hot summers and cool winters.the madrid urban agglomeration has the second-largest gdp in the european union and its influence in politics, education, entertainment, environment, media, fashion, science, culture, and the arts all contribute to its status as one of the world's major global cities.due to its economic output, high standard of living, and market size, madrid is considered the major financial centre and the leading economic hub of the iberian peninsula and of southern europe.the metropolitan area hosts major spanish companies such as telefónica, iberia, bbva and fcc.it concentrates the bulk of banking operations in the country and it is the spanish-speaking city generating the largest amount of webpages.for innovation, madrid is ranked 19th in the world and 7th in europe from 500 cities, in the 2022-2023 annual analysts innovation cities index, published by 2thinknow.madrid houses the headquarters of the un's world tourism organization (unwto), the ibero-american general secretariat (segib), the organization of ibero-american states (oei), and the public interest oversight board (piob).it also hosts major international regulators and promoters of the spanish language: the standing committee of the association of spanish language academies, headquarters of the royal spanish academy (rae), the instituto cervantes and the foundation of emerging spanish (fundéurae).madrid organises fairs such as fitur, arco, simo tci and the madrid fashion week.madrid is home to two world-famous football clubs, real madrid and atlético madrid.while madrid possesses modern infrastructure, it has preserved the look and feel of many of its historic neighbourhoods and streets.its landmarks include the plaza mayor, the royal palace of madrid;

"a prop, formally known as (theatrical) property, is an object used on stage or screen by actors during a performance or screen production.in practical terms, a prop is considered to be anything movable or portable on a stage or a set, distinct from the actors, scenery, costumes, and electrical equipment.many performers provided their own costumes, but other items such as stage weapons or furniture may have been acquired specially and considered 'company property'.some suggest the term comes from the idea that stage or screen objects 'belong' to whoever uses them on stage.there is no difference between props used in theatre, film, or television.properties director bland wade said 'a coffee cup onstage is a coffee cup on television, is a coffee cup on the big screen.'adding 'there are definitely different responsibilities and different vocabulary.'the person in charge of preparing, maintaining and acquiring props is generally called the property master.some may require modification, such as rewiring of lamps to be compatible with dimmers or painting to make an object look used or be more visible from front of house under bright or dim lighting.props may also be manufactured specially for the production.this may be for reasons of weight, durability and safety or the item may be unique in appearance and/or function.to make melee weapons non-functional, swords often have their edges and points dulled.knives are often made of plastic or rubber or have retractable blades.rubber bladed swords and guns may be used by stuntmen or actors where the action does not require detailed or functional weapons, in order to minimise risk.due to the increased level of risk it is standard practice for the safe and proper handling and use of firearms as props to be overseen by a specifically trained and licensed professional, usually called the weapons master or armourer.although blank cartridges do not fire projectiles, they still have an explosive charge and can cause fatal injury.dummy bullets are used if the prop is in closeup and chambered rounds in the cylinder of a revolver are visible to camera.they contain no primer or charge and are only 'bullet shaped objects'although rare, fatal firearm related incidents have occurred, notably jon-erik hexum on october 18, 1984, brandon lee on march 31, 1993, and halyna hutchins on october 21, 2021.cups, plates or vases may be made from bisque or wax.although these are relatively safe a stunt double may replace the main actor for scenes involving their use.the hero prop may have legible writing, lights, moving parts, or other attributes or functions missing from a standard prop.a hero prop phaser from the star trek franchise, for example, might include a depressible trigger and a light-up muzzle and display panel (all of which would make the hero prop more expensive and less durable).the term is also used to describe items used by the main character.'screen-used' props can fetch vast sums at auctions and charity benefits.there is also a growing industry in the making of replicas of well known hero props for home display, cosplay or larp use.the stage life of props (illust.ed.).university of michigan press.isbn 0-472-06839-3.retrieved 2009-01-30.","rops | league | veikkausliiga akeem priestley | club | rops","no related information" "san sebastián de los reyes (colloquially called 'sanse') is a municipality in the community of madrid, spain.founded in 1492, it is located 20 kilometres (12 mi) north of madrid.this line buses, along with urban ones, are the following: urban line 2: alcobendas -

"an island or isle is a piece of subcontinental land completely surrounded by water.very small islands such as emergent land features on atolls can be called islets, skerries, cays or keys.an island in a river or a lake island may be called an eyot or ait, and a small island off the coast may be called a holm.sedimentary islands in the ganges delta are called chars.a grouping of geographically or geologically related islands, such as the philippines, is referred to as an archipelago.there are two main types of islands in the sea: continental islands and oceanic islands.there are also artificial islands (man-made islands).there are about 900,000 official islands in the world.this number consists of all the officially-reported islands of each country.the total number of islands in the world is unknown.there may be hundreds of thousands of tiny islands that are unknown and uncounted.the number of sea islands in the world is estimated to be more than 200,000.the total area of the world's sea islands is approx.9,963,000 sq km, which is similar to the area of canada and accounts for roughly 1/15 (or 6.7%) of the total land area of earth.dutch eiland ('island'), german eiland ('small island')).however, the spelling of the word was modified in the 15th century because of a false etymology caused by an incorrect association with the etymologically unrelated old french loanword isle, which itself comes from the latin word insula.old english ieg is actually a cognate of swedish ö and german aue, and related to latin aqua (water).continents are often considered to be the largest landmass of a particular continental plate; this holds true for australia, which sits on its own continental lithosphere and tectonic plate (the australian plate).by contrast, islands are usually seen as being extensions of the oceanic crust (e.g.volcanic islands), or as belonging to a continental plate containing a larger landmass (continental islands); the latter is the case of greenland, which sits on the north american plate.examples are borneo, java, sumatra, sakhalin, taiwan and hainan off asia; new guinea, tasmania, and kangaroo island off australia; great britain, ireland, and sicily off europe; greenland, newfoundland, long island, and sable island off north america; and barbados, the falkland islands, and trinidad off south america.examples are madagascar and socotra off africa, new caledonia, new zealand, and some of the seychelles.if this island has a seashore as well as being encircled by two river systems, it becomes what might be called a subcontinental island.the one formed by wollaston lake is very large, about 2,000,000 km2 (770,000 sq mi).this includes: barrier islands, which are accumulations of sand deposited by sea currents on the continental shelves fluvial or alluvial islands formed in river deltas or midstream within large rivers.while some are transitory and may disappear if the volume or speed of the current changes, others are stable and long-lived.other definitions limit the term to only refer to islands with no past geological connections to a continental landmass.the vast majority are volcanic in origin, such as saint helena in the south atlantic ocean.the few oceanic islands that are not volcanic are tectonic in origin and arise where plate movements have lifted up the ocean floor above the surface.examples are the saint peter and saint paul archipelago in the north atlantic ocean and macquarie island in the south pacific ocean.these islands arise from volcanoes where the subduction of one plate under another is occurring.examples are the aleutian islands, the mariana islands, and most of tonga in the pacific ocean.","finland | leadername | juha sipilä aleksey chirikov icebreaker |

western australia.completed in 1988, the building measures 214 metres (702 ft) to its roof and 247 metres (810 ft) to the tip of its communications antenna.it was the tallest building in perth from its completion in 1988 until 1992 when it was overtaken in height by central park.as of 2023, it is the third-tallest building in the city.the concrete tower has a distinctive profile, with a triangular plan.the site occupied by the tower was home to the palace hotel, and organised opposition was formed to try to save that building from demolition to make way for an office tower.the site was subsequently acquired by businessman alan bond and the tower was approved and constructed in a plan that would retain much of the palace hotel.the tower then remained the headquarters of bond's companies until their collapse.the tower has also been the headquarters of bankwest (formerly known as the r&i bank), between its completion and 2012.as of 2015, it is now the headquarters of mining company south32.the then-opulent palace hotel opened on this corner in 1897 during the days of the western australian gold rush, and developed a 'colourful' history, hosting numerous celebrities of the time.the plot was purchased by the commonwealth banking corporation, which announced in 1972 that it planned to redevelop the site as high-rise offices.during the 1950s and 1960s, many of perth's older buildings had been demolished to make way for modern developments, which led to wide criticism of the perth city council for approving such redevelopments.in this atmosphere, wide public protest resulted and a lobby group of concerned citizens calling themselves 'the palace guards' worked to save the historic building.this outcry led to condemnation of the plans and heritage listing of the property by the national trust, and forced the commonwealth bank to ask the federal government to take the property off its hands.the property was subsequently purchased from the commonwealth bank by businessman alan bond in 1978 along with the adjacent terrace arcade.these plans made some effort at preservation of the palace hotel, by retaining the facade and main foyer area of the building.however, the construction of the modern office tower at the site's north-eastern corner required demolition of terrace arcade, the eastern accommodation wing and the hotel's renowned dining room.the rationale given for the works required was that extensive renovations to the palace hotel in 1915 and the 1930s had weakened its structure significantly, as well as problems controlling white ants in the structure.the development exceeded the acceptable plot ratio in the town planning scheme, however the perth city council pre-approved the plans nonetheless, on the condition that bond corporation kept the palace hotel operating as a hotel.demolition of parts of the site commenced in august 1981, and by august 1983 construction had completed on the tower's foundation and three levels of underground parking.however, there were continuing doubts about the viability of the building, slowing the pace of the development.this changed on 7 september 1984 when r&i bank chairman david fischer signed a joint venture agreement over the development with austmark international, a subsidiary of bond corporation.the bank, which was at the time wholly owned by the government of western australia, consulted then-premier brian burke in deciding whether to invest in the project.following the investment in the project by the bank, the developers successfully sought modification of the original planning approval by the perth city council to allow the use of the palace hotel as a bank, rather than remaining as a public hotel.","108 st georges terrace | floorcount | 50 108 st

most widely known for his role as guitarist and vocalist for the post-metal bands sumac and isis, while also participating in several other bands and projects such as old man gloom, lotus eaters and split cranium, a collaboration with jussi lehtisalo of finnish band circle who toured with isis in 2009.raised in new mexico, turner moved to the boston area, where he attended art school and formed isis and hydra head.in june 2003, turner moved operations of both the band and label to los angeles, california.turner now resides in vashon, wa which is also the base of operations for hydra head and his various other activities.in partnership with his wife faith coloccia, turner founded another record label, sige, in march 2011.it has gone on to release material from his musical collaboration with coloccia, mamiffer.sige is distributed by the business.at an early age, his family moved to new mexico, where he was raised.his mother was a teacher 'who taught a progressive curriculum' and his father an author, 'mainly [of] non-fiction'.turner describes his upbringing, surrounded by his parents' writer, artist and photographer friends, as 'creatively nurturing'.at age 17, he started a company that sold rare punk rock records via mail-order.he later moved to boston to attend art school at the school of the museum of fine arts, and in 1995 began releasing music.by 1997, the hydra head label was becoming a respectable small record label.turner describes his early industriousness as being motivated in part by boredom: i grew up in new mexico, and there wasn't a whole lot as far as youth culture is concerned.especially when i started to get interested in straight edge and wasn't doing drugs anymore, there was really nothing for me to do.so that was like a big reason for me, i suppose, to become really productive.also, i've never been a really social person.so there's not a lot of time taken up by my social life.and music has always been a very very big part of my life.i guess just a combination of those factors is why everything got started so early.around 1997–99, turner was living with future isis bassist and co-founder jeff caxide; until this point, he had been a member of the bands union suit and hollomen.isis was formed in 1997 out of a dissatisfaction with said bands' musical direction and turner and caxide's respective degrees of creative control.in mid-2009, turner moved from los angeles, where both isis and hydra head records were based at the time, to seattle with his then-girlfriend, faith coloccia; they went on to wed in september of the same year.he has also acquired a custom guitar from the electrical guitar company (as did fellow isis guitarist michael gallagher).in the past, turner has also used a gibson les paul standard, prs ce24, and has played through sunn, mesa boogie, and mackie amplifiers.when playing with isis, turner and his fellow guitarists usually tuned their instruments (low to high) b-f#-b-e-g#-b, to achieve a heavier sound.they also used other tunings, though less frequently, such as f# (octave below)-f#-b-e-g#-b.in 2016, turner described the live rig he used with sumac as consisting of two custom-built guitars from the electrical guitar company.both have lucite bodies and aluminum necks, and custom-wound wide frequency range pickups.the newer of the two—a prototype for a signature model—has a slightly flatter fingerboard radius than the older instrument.","aaron turner | associatedband/associatedmusicalartist | twilight band aaron turner | associatedband/associatedmusicalartist | mamiffer

these included the united kingdom's royal navy, the imperial japanese navy, the imperial russian navy, and the royal netherlands navy.from 1907 to 1925 electric boat designed submarines for the navy and subcontracted their construction to the fore river shipyard in quincy, massachusetts and other shipyards.during this era, the company designed submarines of the b, c, d, e, k, l, m, n, aa-1, o, r, and s classes.during the world war i era, the company and its subsidiaries (notably the electric launch company, or elco) built 85 submarines via subcontractors and 722 submarine chasers for the us navy, and 580 80-foot motor launches for the british royal navy.cuttlefish was the first submarine built at eb's plant in groton, connecticut which has ever since been its primary submarine manufacturing facility.eb was the lead yard for several classes of submarines (perch, salmon, sargo, tambor, gar, mackerel and gato) prior to world war ii.starting in the early 1930s, eb was one of only two major us submarine manufacturers (the other being the portsmouth navy yard) until the late 1950s.three other yards (manitowoc, mare island, and cramp) produced submarines only during world war ii.several other yards including mare island built submarines in the late 1950s through the early 1970s.since that time, only electric boat and newport news have built submarines for the us navy.general dynamics acquired convair the following year, and the holding company assumed the 'general dynamics' name while the submarine-building operation reverted to the 'electric boat' name.electric boat built the first nuclear submarine uss nautilus which was launched in january 1954, and the first ballistic missile submarine uss george washington in 1959.submarines of the ohio, los angeles, seawolf, and virginia classes were also constructed by electric boat.in 2002, eb conducted preservation work on nautilus, preparing her for her berth at the us navy submarine force library and museum in groton, connecticut where she now resides as a museum.electric boat's first submarine holland was scrapped in 1932.from the mid-1970s to the present, eb has been one of only two submarine manufacturers in the united states with the other being newport news shipbuilding in virginia.electric boat overhauls and undertakes repair work on fast attack class boats.the company built the ohio-class ballistic missile submarines and seawolf-class submarines, as well as others.in april 2014, eb was awarded a $17.8 billion contract with naval sea systems command for ten block iv virginia-class attack submarines.it is the largest single shipbuilding contract in the service's history.the company builds the submarine along with huntington ingalls industries newport news shipbuilding.the boats of block iv virginias will cost less than block iii, as electric boat reduced the cost of the submarines by increasing efficiency in the construction process.","general dynamics electric boat | parentcompany | general dynamics american submarine nr-1 | builder | general dynamics electric boat","general dynamics electric boat (gdeb) is a subsidiary of general dynamics corporation.some foreign navies were interested in john holland's latest submarine designs, and so purchased the rights to build them under licensing contracts through the company;

mainland.it comprises england, scotland, wales and northern ireland.it includes the island of great britain, the north-eastern part of the island of ireland, and most of the smaller islands within the british isles.northern ireland shares a land border with the republic of ireland; otherwise, the united kingdom is surrounded by the atlantic ocean, the north sea, the english channel, the celtic sea and the irish sea.the total area of the united kingdom is 242,495 square kilometres (93,628 sq mi), with an estimated 2023 population of over 68 million people.the united kingdom has evolved from a series of annexations, unions and separations of constituent countries over several hundred years.the treaty of union between the kingdom of england (which also included wales) and the kingdom of scotland in 1707 resulted in their unification to become the kingdom of great britain.its union in 1801 with the kingdom of ireland created the united kingdom of great britain and ireland.most of ireland seceded from the uk in 1922, leaving the present united kingdom of great britain and northern ireland, which formally adopted its name in 1927.the nearby isle of man, guernsey and jersey are not part of the uk, being crown dependencies, but the british government is responsible for their defence and international representation.the uk became the world's first industrialised country and was the foremost power during the 19th and early 20th centuries, a period of unchallenged global hegemony known as 'pax britannica'.the 14 british overseas territories are the last remnants of the british empire which, at its height in the 1920s, encompassed almost a quarter of the world's landmass and population, and was the largest empire in history.a part of the core anglophonic world, british influence can be observed in the language, culture, legal and political systems of many of its former colonies.the united kingdom is a constitutional monarchy and parliamentary democracy.its capital and largest city is london, the capital of england, a global city and financial centre with a metropolitan population of over 14 million people.edinburgh, cardiff and belfast are the national capitals of scotland, wales and northern ireland respectively.other major cities include birmingham, manchester, leeds, glasgow, sheffield and liverpool.scotland, wales, and northern ireland have their own devolved governments, each with varying powers.the uk is a great power, exerting significant economic, political, military, scientific and cultural influence in world affairs.it has the world's sixth-largest economy by nominal gross domestic product (gdp), and the tenth-largest by purchasing power parity.it is a recognised nuclear state and is the foremost military power in europe.the uk has been a permanent member of the united nations security council since its first session in 1946.it is a member of the commonwealth of nations, the council of europe, the g7, the oecd, the five eyes, nato and aukus, and was a member of the eu until its withdrawal with a free trade deal in 2020.the uk is set to join the cptpp, a major trade bloc in the indo-pacific, after negotiations regarding its accession concluded in march 2023.great britain encompassed the whole island, taking in the land north of the river forth known to the romans as caledonia in modern scotland (i.e.'greater' britain).in the middle ages, the name 'britain' was also applied to a small part of france now known as brittany.as a result, great britain (likely from the french 'grande bretagne') came into use to refer specifically to the island, with brittany often referred to as 'little britain'.","united kingdom | leadername | elizabeth ii aston martin v8 | assembly | united kingdom","no

punk.early ska punk mixed both 2 tone and ska with hardcore punk.ska punk tends to feature brass instruments, especially horns such as trumpets, trombones and woodwind instruments like saxophones, making the genre distinct from other forms of punk rock.it is closely tied to third wave ska which reached its zenith in the mid-1990s.before ska punk began, many ska bands and punk rock bands performed on the same bills together and performed to the same audiences.some music groups from the late 1970s and early 1980s, such as the clash, the deadbeats, the specials, the beat, and madness fused characteristics of punk rock and ska, but many of these were either punk bands playing an occasional ska-flavored song, or are usually considered 2-tone ska bands who played faster songs with a punk attitude.during the late 1980s and early 1990s, ska-punk enjoyed its greatest success, heralded by bands such as fishbone, the mighty mighty bosstones, sublime, less than jake, and more.ska punk had significant mainstream success in the middle-to-late 1990s, with many bands topping pop and rock music charts.the best-selling ska punk record of the era was no doubt's tragic kingdom, which was certified diamond by the riaa in 1999 and was certified diamond by music canada in 1997.by the early 2000s, many of the bands in ska punk had broken up, and the genre lost mainstream appeal, though it continued to have underground popularity and featured a revival in the late 2010s with bands like the interrupters returning to chart success, when their song 'she's kerosene' reached the top 5 on alternative and rock music charts in canada and the us, as well as in the early 2020's with hyperpop duo 100 gecs album 10,000 gecs incorporating elements of ska punk to critical acclaim.ska-core is a

"colonel albert jennings fountain (october 23, 1838 – disappeared february 1, 1896) was an american attorney who served in the texas senate and the new mexico house of representatives.following a purge of corruption among cattle rustlers that fountain investigated and prosecuted, he and his eight-year-old son henry disappeared near white sands, new mexico territory.their bloodstained wagon and other evidence of an ambush were recovered, but the bodies were never found.suspicion centered on two rival landowners, oliver m. lee and albert bacon fall.lee and two employees were tried for the murder of henry fountain, but acquitted after a defense by fall.no charges were ever filed for the death of albert fountain.he went to california as a young man and began calling himself by an anglicised version of his mother's family name.(accounts differ as to why he did so.)fountain studied law in california and was admitted to the bar in 1860.working as a reporter for the sacramento union, he travelled to nicaragua in 1860 to cover the filibustering expedition of william walker.angering walker by his reports, fountain was arrested and sentenced to be shot.however, he escaped and returned to california.in august 1861, during the american civil war, fountain enlisted in the company e of the 1st california infantry regiment of the union army and was elected first sergeant of his company.he took part in the 1862 recapture of the new mexico territory as a member of the california column.in october 1862, he married mariana pérez of mesilla.they would become the parents of four sons and two daughters.later commissioned a second lieutenant, he was discharged on august 31, 1864.fountain almost immediately joined the new mexico volunteers because of the ongoing indian wars.in june 1865, he was seriously wounded while pursuing hostile apaches.he spent a night trapped under his dead horse, with a bullet in his thigh, an arrow in his forearm, and another arrow in his shoulder.on his recovery, fountain was discharged as a brevet captain.fountain settled in el paso, texas, working for the united states property commission, which investigated and disposed of former confederate property.he was then made the customs collector for the el paso region.fountain was next appointed an election judge, and finally became the assessor and collector of internal revenue for the western district of texas.in 1870, fountain became a co-founder of the church of st. clement, the first protestant church in el paso.in november 1869, fountain won a seat as a republican in the texas senate, serving in the twelfth and thirteenth texas legislatures.he was elected as president pro tempore during the second session of the twelfth legislature and served as lieutenant governor ex officio at the same time, as the office was vacant.fountain's most notable accomplishment was pushing through the bill that re-established the texas rangers, which had been abolished after the civil war.fountain's radical republican views angered texas democrats and he was challenged to several duels, resulting in him killing at least one man, frank williams.in 1873, fountain moved from el paso to mesilla with his wife and their five children.there he became a lawyer, using his fluent spanish to good advantage in jury trials.fountain was appointed assistant district attorney and also served as probate judge and a deputy court clerk.in 1877, he founded a newspaper, the mesilla valley independent, which was issued in both english and spanish.he also founded the mesilla dramatic society and the mesilla valley opera house, now the fountain theater, both originally operated by his family.","albert jennings fountain | party | republican party united states albert jennings fountain | birthplace | new york city","colonel albert jennings fountain (october 23, 1838 – disappeared february 1, 1896) was an american attorney who served in the texas senate and the new mexico house of representatives.following a purge of corruption among cattle rustlers that fountain investigated and prosecuted, he and his eight-year-old son henry disappeared near white sands, new mexico territory.fountain almost immediately joined the new mexico volunteers because of the ongoing indian wars.in 1870, fountain became a co-founder of the church of st. clement, the first protestant church in el paso.in november 1869, fountain won a seat as a republican in the texas senate, serving in the twelfth and thirteenth texas legislatures.fountain's radical republican views angered texas democrats and he was challenged to several duels, resulting in him killing at least one man, frank williams." "66391 moshup , provisional designation 1999 kw4, is a binary asteroid, classified as a near-earth object and potentially hazardous asteroid of the aten group, approximately 1.3 kilometers in diameter.it was discovered on 20 may 1999, by lincoln near-earth asteroid research (linear) at the lincoln laboratory's experimental test site in socorro, new mexico, united states.it is a mercury-crosser that comes extremely close to the sun at a perihelion of 0.2 au.its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.69 and an inclination of 39° with respect to the ecliptic.a first precovery was taken by 2mass at the fred lawrence whipple observatory in 1998, extending the body's observation arc by one year prior to its official discovery observation at socorro.as a potentially hazardous asteroid, it has an earth minimum orbital intersection distance of 0.0138 au (2,060,000 km) which corresponds to 5.4 lunar distances.on 25 may 2036, it will pass 0.0155 au (2,320,000 km) from earth.it was named from mohegan legend, after moshup, a giant who lived in the coastal areas of new england.the asteroid's companion is named squannit, after the wife of moshup and a medicine woman of the makiawisug (little people).the official naming citation was published by the minor planet center on 27 august 2019 (m.p.c.115894).the moon, named squannit and designated s/2001 (66391) 1, is approximately 360 metres in diameter, and orbits its primary in every 16 hours at a mean-distance of 2.6 kilometers.the presence of a companion was suggested by photometric observations made by pravec and šarounová and was confirmed by radar observations from arecibo observations and announced on 23 may 2001 (also see below).based on radar imaging, squannit's dimensions are estimated to be 595 × 450 × 343 meters.the observations were taken from may 21–23, 2001, by lance a. m. benner, steven j. ostro, jon d. giorgini, raymond f. jurgens, jean-luc margot and michael c. nolan.the collaborative asteroid lightcurve link adopts a diameter of 1.3 kilometers and derives an albedo 0.26 with an absolute magnitude of 16.5.the shapes of the two bodies and their dynamics are complex.with a dimension of approximately 1.42 × 1.36 × 1.18 kilometers for a simple triaxial ellipsoid, the asteroid has an oblate shape, which is dominated by an equatorial ridge at the body's potential-energy minimum.this bizarre property of the equatorial region means that it is close to breakup: raising a particle a meter above the surface would put it into orbit.as seen in the image at above right, the gravitational effects between the moon and the asteroid create a gigantic mountain extending in the equatorial plane around the entire asteroid.it was the first asteroid to be described as 'muffin-shaped', which is now understood to be a very common shape for asteroids in critical rotation, including 101955 bennu and 162173 ryugu.lightcurve analysis gave a rotation period of 2.7650 hours with a brightness variation of 0.12 magnitude (u=3).","66391 1999 kw4 | epoch | 2004-07-14 66391 1999 kw4 | orbitalperiod | 162447000","no related information" "the united states of america (u.s.a. or usa), commonly known as the united

326 indian reservations.the united states is the world's third-largest country by both land and total area.it shares land borders with canada to its north and with mexico to its south and has maritime borders with the bahamas, cuba, russia, and other nations.with a population of over 333 million, it is the most populous country in the americas and the third most populous in the world.the national capital of the united states is washington, d.c., and its most populous city and principal financial center is new york city.indigenous peoples have inhabited the americas for thousands of years.beginning in 1607, british colonization led to the establishment of the thirteen colonies in what is now the eastern united states.they quarreled with the british crown over taxation and political representation, leading to the american revolution and proceeding revolutionary war.the united states declared independence on july 4, 1776, becoming the first nation-state founded on enlightenment principles of unalienable natural rights, consent of the governed, and liberal democracy.during the nineteenth century, the united states political philosophy was influenced by the concept of manifest destiny, as the country expanded across the continent in a number of wars, land purchases, and treaties, eventually reaching the pacific ocean by the middle of the century.sectional division surrounding slavery in the southern united states led to the secession of the confederate states of america, which fought the remaining states of the union during the american civil war (1861–1865).with the union's victory and preservation, slavery was abolished nationally by the thirteenth amendment.by 1900, the united states had established itself as a world power, becoming the world's largest economy.after japan's attack on pearl harbor in 1941, the u.s. entered world war ii on the allied side.the aftermath of the war left the united states and the soviet union as the world's two superpowers and led to the cold war.during the cold war, both countries engaged in a struggle for ideological dominance but avoided direct military conflict.they also competed in the space race, which culminated in the 1969 landing of apollo 11, making the u.s. the first and only nation to ever land humans on the moon.with the soviet union's collapse and the subsequent end of the cold war in 1991, the united states emerged as the world's sole superpower.the united states government is a federal republic and a representative democracy with three separate branches of government.it has a bicameral national legislature composed of the house of representatives, a lower house; and the senate, an upper house based on equal representation for each state.many policy issues are decentralized, with widely differing laws by jurisdiction.the u.s. ranks highly in international measures of quality of life, income and wealth, economic competitiveness, human rights, innovation, and education; it has low levels of perceived corruption and the highest median income per person of any polity in the world.it has high levels of incarceration and inequality and lacks universal health care.as a melting pot of cultures and ethnicities, the u.s. has been shaped by the world's largest immigrant population.a developed country, the american economy accounts for

academy.there, he was commissioned as a submarine officer in the u.s. navy, during world war i.returning to argentina, he married duilia fayo lonne and was eventually named commander of the navy's flagship, the historic sarmiento frigate.teisaire later taught at the argentine naval academy and held numerous policy-making posts in that service, including ones in the naval requisitions department, the argentine naval delegations in the united states and europe, as head of the navy's river fleet (1938), and as assistant director of the important navy mechanics' school, in 1940, where he specialized in the instruction of navigation and hydrology.he became a reliable ally of the new war and labor minister, col. juan perón, whose support of organized labor and their platform had provoked growing rivalries within the military regime.teisaire became perón's most prominent ally in the government when, in july, he was named interior minister (at the time, overseeing law enforcement).he retired as rear admiral in 1945 to pursue a seat in the argentine senate, ahead of the february 1946 general elections.elected as senator on perón's labor party ticket, teisaire represented the city of buenos aires, a district normally leaning towards perón's chief opposition, the centrist ucr.he, however, did not enjoy support from the president's influential first lady, eva perón, who refused his request to take part in her 1947 'rainbow tour' because (in her words): 'i did not want that fruitcake creating a scandal in paris, when for that i already have paquito, who at least makes me laugh.'teisaire did well in his career in the senate, even so.he was named provisional president of the senate in 1947, and was reelected senator in 1951.he was elected to the constitutional assembly of 1949, which drafted a replacement of the 1853 constitution of argentina (reinstated in 1957).he was named head of the peronist party's superior council in 1952, effectively making him the third-most powerful member of the administration (after interior minister ángel borlenghi and perón, himself).teisaire introduced the lions club into argentina in 1954, and received the german order of merit.controversy surrounding the president's in-laws and political violence both by and against his peronist movement dominated headlines in the first half of 1953, and perón took the opportunity of upcoming legislative polls to test his popularity.the argentine constitution did not require it at the time, but a special election was announced to replace the late vice president, hortensio quijano, and perón nominated teisaire as his candidate for the post.the april 1954 elections increased the peronists' overwhelming majority in congress and elected teisaire vice president by a 30% margin of victory.following this success, perón began to dispense with his hitherto warm relations with the catholic church by banning a number of their organizations and periodicals, and with the unprecedented, december 22 legalization of divorce and prostitution.the vice president supported these moves, arguing that argentina's catholic majority were mostly non-practicing and, by extension, probably amenable to perón's push to limit their influence.the miscalculation proved fateful, however.the dispute damaged teisaire's influence among the largely conservative catholic navy commanders, who spitefully referred to the vice president as 'that freemason,' and soon destroyed military loyalty for the administration itself.a series of violent confrontations from june to september 1955 ended with perón's september 19 resignation and exile.his 'confession' was produced into a 12-minute propaganda film by the revolución libertadora, which ordered the footage shown in

"camilla (minor planet designation: 107 camilla) is one of the largest asteroids from the outermost edge of the asteroid belt, approximately 250 kilometers (160 miles) in diameter.it is a member of the sylvia family and located within the cybele group.it was discovered on 17 november 1868, by english astronomer norman pogson at madras observatory, india, and named after camilla, queen of the volsci in roman mythology.the x-type asteroid is a rare trinary asteroid with two minor-planet moons discovered in 2001 and 2016, respectively.it is elongated in shape and has a short rotation period of 4.8 hours.a large number of rotational lightcurves of have been obtained from photometric observations since the 1980s.best rated results gave a short rotation period of 4.844 hours with a brightness amplitude between 0.32 and 0.53 magnitude.lightcurve analysis indicates that camilla's pole most likely points towards ecliptic coordinates (β, λ) = (+51°, 72°) with a 10° uncertainty, which gives it an axial tilt of 29°.follow-up modeling of photometric data gave similar results.according to the space-based surveys carried out by the japanese akari satellite, the infrared astronomical satellite iras and the neowise mission of nasa's wide-field infrared survey explorer, as well as observations by the keck observatory and photometric modeling, camilla measures between 185 and 247 kilometers in diameter and its surface has an albedo between 0.160 and 0.294.it has been designated s/2001 (107) 1 but has not yet received an official name.later observations in september 2005 with the very large telescope (vlt) allowed the determination of an orbit.apart from data in infobox, the inclination was found to be 3 ± 1° with respect to an axis pointing towards (β, λ) = (+55°, 75°).given the ~10° uncertainty in the actual rotational axis of camilla, one can say that the orbit's inclination is less than 10°.the satellite is estimated to measure about 11 km in diameter.assuming a similar density to the primary, this would give it an approximate mass of ~1.5×1015 kg.it has a similar colour to the primary.it has the provisional designation s/2016 (107) 1.observations were taken between 29 may 2015 and 30 july 2016, using the vlt-sphere, the principal instrument attached to the 8-meter 'melipal' (ut3) unit of the vlt.on 3 out of 5 observation sessions, the new satellite could be detected.the body's orbit has a semi-major axis of 340 kilometers.107 camilla and s/2001 (107) 1, orbit data website maintained by f. marchis.includes orbit diagrams.107 camilla at astdys-2, asteroids—dynamic site ephemeris · observation prediction · orbital info · proper elements · observational info 107 camilla at the jpl small-body database","107 camilla | discoverer | n r pogson n r pogson | birthplace | nottingham","it was discovered on 17 november 1868, by english astronomer norman pogson at madras observatory, india, and named after camilla, queen of the volsci in roman mythology." "new hampshire is a state in the new england region of the northeastern united states.it is bordered by massachusetts to the south, vermont to the west, maine and the gulf of maine to the east, and the canadian province of quebec to the north.of the 50 u.s. states, new hampshire is the fifth smallest by area and the tenth least populous, with a population of 1,377,529 million residents as of the 2020 census.concord is the state capital, while manchester is the largest city.new hampshire's motto, 'live free or die', reflects its role in the american revolutionary war; its nickname, 'the granite state', refers to its extensive granite formations and quarries.it is well known nationwide for holding the first primary (after the iowa caucus) in the u.s. presidential election cycle, and for its resulting influence on american electoral politics.new hampshire was inhabited for thousands of years by algonquian-speaking peoples such as the abenaki.europeans arrived in the early 17th century, with the english establishing some of the earliest non-indigenous settlements.the province of new hampshire was established in 1629, named after the english county of hampshire.following mounting tensions between the british colonies and the crown during the 1760s, new hampshire saw one of the earliest overt acts of rebellion, with the seizing of fort william and mary from the british in 1774.in january 1776, it became the first of the british north american colonies to establish an independent government and state constitution; six months later, it signed the united states declaration of independence and contributed troops, ships, and supplies in the war against britain.in june 1788, it was the ninth state to ratify the u.s. constitution, bringing that document into effect.through the mid-19th century, new hampshire was an active center of abolitionism, and fielded close to 32,000 soldiers for the union during the u.s. civil war.after the war, the state saw rapid industrialization and population growth, becoming a center of textile manufacturing, shoemaking, and papermaking; the amoskeag manufacturing company in manchester was at one time the largest cotton textile plant in the world.the merrimack and connecticut rivers were lined with industrial mills, most of which employed workers from canada and europe; french canadians formed the most significant influx of immigrants, and today roughly a quarter of all new hampshire residents claim french american ancestry, second only to maine.reflecting a nationwide trend, new hampshire's industrial sector declined after the second world war.since 1950, its economy has heavily diversified to include financial and professional services, real estate, education, transportation and high-tech, with manufacturing still higher than the national average.beginning in the 1950s, its population surged as major highways connected it to greater boston and led to more bedroom communities.in the 21st century, new hampshire is among the wealthiest and most-educated states in the u.s., with the seventh-highest median household income and some of the lowest rates of poverty, unemployment, and crime.it is one of only nine states without an income tax and has no taxes on sales, capital gains, or inheritance while relying heavily on local property taxes to fund education; consequently, its state tax burden is among the lowest in the country.new hampshire ranks among the top ten states in metrics such as governance, healthcare, socioeconomic opportunity, and fiscal stability.with its mountainous and heavily forested terrain, new hampshire has a growing tourism sector centered on outdoor recreation.it has some of the highest ski mountains on the east coast and is a major destination for winter sports; mount monadnock is among the most climbed mountains in the u.s. other activities include observing the fall foliage, summer cottages along many lakes and the seacoast, motorsports at the new hampshire motor speedway, and motorcycle week, a popular motorcycle rally held in weirs beach in laconia.","new hampshire | bird | purple finch alan shepard | timeinspace | 130170minutes alan shepard | birthplace | new hampshire","no related information" "1089 tama, provisional designation 1927 wb, is an elongated florian asteroid and synchronous binary system from the inner regions of the asteroid belt, approximately 12 kilometers in diameter.it was discovered by japanese astronomer okuro oikawa at the old tokyo astronomical observatory (389) on 17 november 1927.the asteroid was named after the tama river in japan.its minor-planet moon was discovered in december 2003 and measures approximately 9 kilometers.it is, however, a non-family asteroid from the main belt's background population when applying the hierarchical clustering method to its proper orbital elements.the asteroid orbits the sun in the inner main-belt at a distance of 1.9–2.5 au once every 3 years and 3 months (1,203 days).its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.13 and an inclination of 4° with respect to the ecliptic.tama was first identified as a894 va at heidelberg observatory in november 1894.the body's observation arc begins with its identification as a904 vd at heidelberg in november 1904, or 23 years prior to its official discovery observation at tokyo.lightcurve analysis gave a rotation period between 16.4 and 16.464 hours with a brightness variation between 0.08 and 0.41 magnitude (u=2-/2-3-/3), superseding a period of 4 hours from a fragmentary lightcurve obtained in the 1990s (u=1).tama appears to be somewhat elongated in shape.lcdb's consolidated result gives a period of 16.44 hours and an amplitude of 0.41 magnitude (u=3).the satellite was identified based on lightcurve observations with mutual occultation and eclipsing events from 24 december 2003 to 5 january 2004 by raoul behrend, rené roy, claudine rinner, pierre antonini, petr pravec, alan harris, stefano sposetti, russell durkee, and alain klotz.the moon measures approximately 9 kilometers in diameter.it may orbits 20 km away in a period of 16.4442 hours (synchronously).in 2013, modelling by an international study using photometric data from the us naval observatory, the uppsala asteroid photometric catalogue (uapc) and the palmer divide observatory, gave a concurring rotation period of 16.4655 hours.another modeled lightcurve using data from uapc, the palomar transient factory survey, and individual observers, gave a period of 16.4461 hours as well as two spin axes of (193.0°, 32.0°) and (9.0°, 28.0°) in ecliptic coordinates (λ, β).the official naming citation was mentioned in the names of the minor planets by paul herget in 1955 (h 103).","1089 tama | epoch | 2005-11-26 1089 tama | formername | a919 ha;

excluded from professional football because of financial problems.initially the club was not officially affiliated to the italian football federation (figc), but nonetheless played several amateur tournament and friendly matches under the denomination o.n.d.chievo, a title imposed by the fascist regime.the club's formal debut in an official league was on 8 november 1931.the team colours at the time were blue and white.chievo disbanded in 1936, however, due to economic woes but returned to play in 1948 after world war ii, being registered in the regional league of seconda divisionecode: ita promoted to code: it (second division).in 1957, the team moved to the field 'carlantonio bottagisio', where they played until 1986.in 1959, after the restructuring of the football leagues, chievo was admitted to play the seconda categoria (second category), a regional league placed next-to-last in the italian football pyramid.that year, chievo changed its name to cardi chievo, after a new sponsor, and was quickly promoted to the prima categoria, from which it experienced its first-ever relegation in 1962.under campedelli's presidency, chievo climbed through the entire italian football pyramid, reaching the serie d after the 1974–75 season.under the name 'paluani chievo', the team was promoted to serie c2 in 1986.as a consequence of promotion, chievo was forced to move to the stadio marcantonio bentegodi, the main venue in verona; another promotion, to serie c1, followed in 1989.in 1990, the team changed its name to its current one, 'a.c.chievoverona.'in 1992, president luigi campedelli, who had returned at the helm of the club two years before, died of a heart attack, and his son luca campedelli, aged just 23, became the new and youngest chairman of an italian professional football club.campedelli promoted giovanni sartori to director of football and named alberto malesani as the new head coach.under malesani, the team astonishingly won the serie c1 and was promoted to serie b, where city rival hellas verona was playing at the time.in 1997, after malesani signed for fiorentina, silvio baldini was appointed the new head coach.the following season, with domenico caso as the coach, saw the first dismissal of a coach during the presidency of luca campedelli, with caso being fired and replaced with lorenzo balestro.it was during these years that the nickname 'mussi volanti' ('flying donkeys') was born.it originated from supporters of their crosstown rivals hellas, who would mock long-suffering chievo supporters that chievo will only be promoted if 'donkeys could fly' (equivalent of the english language falsism 'if pigs could fly', denoting an impossible dream).in 2000–01, luigi delneri was signed as coach and led chievo, by virtue of its third-place finish in serie b, to promotion to serie a, the first time in team history that it had reached the top tier of italian football.however, they became the surprise team in the league,

verona.following the club's exclusion from professional football in 2021, chievo is solely running as a youth team for the current 2021–22 season.the club was excluded from professional football because of financial problems.initially the club was not officially affiliated to the italian football federation (figc), but nonetheless played several amateur tournament and friendly matches under the denomination o.n.d.chievo, a title imposed by the fascist regime.the club's formal debut in an official league was on 8 november 1931.the team colours at the time were blue and white.chievo disbanded in 1936, however, due to economic woes but returned to play in 1948 after world war ii, being registered in the regional league of seconda divisionecode: ita promoted to code: it (second division).in 1957, the team moved to the field 'carlantonio bottagisio', where they played until 1986.in 1959, after the restructuring of the football leagues, chievo was admitted to play the seconda categoria (second category), a regional league placed next-to-last in the italian football pyramid.that year, chievo changed its name to cardi chievo, after a new sponsor, and was quickly promoted to the prima categoria, from which it experienced its first-ever relegation in 1962.under campedelli's presidency, chievo climbed through the entire italian football pyramid, reaching the serie d after the 1974–75 season.under the name 'paluani chievo', the team was promoted to serie c2 in 1986.as a consequence of promotion, chievo was forced to move to the stadio marcantonio bentegodi, the main venue in verona; another promotion, to serie c1, followed in 1989.in 1990, the team changed its name to its current one, 'a.c.chievoverona.'in 1992, president luigi campedelli, who had returned at the helm of the club two years before, died of a heart attack, and his son luca campedelli, aged just 23, became the new and youngest chairman of an italian professional football club.campedelli promoted giovanni sartori to director of football and named alberto malesani as the new head coach.under malesani, the team astonishingly won the serie c1 and was promoted to serie b, where city rival hellas verona was playing at the time.in 1997, after malesani signed for fiorentina, silvio baldini was appointed the new head coach.the following season, with domenico caso as the coach, saw the first dismissal of a coach during the presidency of luca campedelli, with caso being fired and replaced with lorenzo balestro.it was during these years that the nickname 'mussi volanti' ('flying donkeys') was born.it originated from supporters of their crosstown rivals hellas, who would mock long-suffering chievo supporters that chievo will only be promoted if 'donkeys could fly' (equivalent of the english language falsism 'if pigs could fly', denoting an impossible dream).in 2000–01, luigi delneri was signed as coach and led chievo, by virtue of its third-place finish in serie b, to promotion to serie a, the first time in team history that it had reached the top tier of italian football.however, they became the surprise team in the league, playing often spectacular and entertaining football and even leading the league for six consecutive weeks.the club finally ended the season with a highly respectable fifth-place finish, qualifying the team to play in the uefa cup.","ac chievo

the 125th largest city in the united states.the akron metropolitan area, covering summit and portage counties, had an estimated population of 703,505.the city was founded by simon perkins and paul williams in 1825 along the little cuyahoga river at the summit of the developing ohio and erie canal.the name is derived from the ancient greek word ἄκρον : ákron signifying a summit or high point.it was briefly renamed south akron after eliakim crosby founded nearby north akron in 1833, until both merged into an incorporated village in 1836.in the 1910s, akron doubled in population, making it the nation's fastest-growing city.a long history of rubber and tire manufacturing, carried on today by the goodyear tire and rubber company, gave akron the nickname 'rubber capital of the world'.it was once known as a center of airship development.today, its economy includes manufacturing, education, healthcare, and biomedical research; leading corporations include gojo industries, firstenergy, huntington bank, and charter spectrum.notable historic events in akron include the passage of the akron school law of 1847, which created the k–12 system; the popularization of the church architectural akron plan, the foundation of alcoholics anonymous, the akron experiment into preventing goiters with iodized salt, the 1983 supreme court case city of akron v. akron center for

town at the summit of the developing ohio and erie canal.the name is adapted from the greek word ἄκρον (ákron), meaning summit or high point.it was laid out in december 1825, where the south part of the downtown akron neighborhood sits today.irish laborers working on the ohio canal built about 100 cabins nearby.after eliakim crosby founded 'north akron' (also known as cascade) in the northern portion of what is now downtown akron in 1833, 'south' was added to akron's name until about three years later, when the two were merged and became an incorporated village in 1836.in 1840, summit county formed from portions of portage, medina, and stark counties.akron replaced cuyahoga falls as its county seat a year later and opened a canal connecting to beaver, pennsylvania, helping give birth to the stoneware, sewer pipe, fishing tackle, and farming equipment industries.in 1844, abolitionist john brown moved into the john brown house across the street from business partner colonel simon perkins, who lived in the perkins stone mansion.the akron school law of 1847 founded the city's public schools and created the k–12 grade school system, which currently is used in every u.s. state.the city's first school is now a museum on broadway street near the corner of exchange.', at the universalist old stone church.in 1870, a local businessman associated with the church, john r.

it later changed its name to amarillo, which probably derived from yellow wildflowers that were plentiful during the spring and summer or the nearby amarillo lake and amarillo creek, named in turn for the yellow soil along their banks and shores (amarillo is the spanish word for the color yellow).early residents originally pronounced the city's name more similar to the spanish pronunciation ah-mə-ree-yoh, which was later displaced by the current pronunciation.on june 19, 1888, henry b. sanborn, who is given credit as the 'father of amarillo', and his business partner joseph f. glidden began buying land to the east to move amarillo after arguing that berry's site was on low ground and would flood during rainstorms.sanborn also offered to trade lots in the new location to businesses in the original city's site and help with the expense of moving to new buildings.his incentives gradually won over people, who moved their businesses to polk street in the new commercial district.heavy rains almost flooded berry's part of the town in 1889, prompting more people to move to sanborn's location.this eventually led to another county seat election making sanborn's town the new county seat in 1893.by the late 1890s, amarillo had emerged as one of the world's busiest cattle-shipping points, and its population grew significantly.the city became a grain elevator, milling, and feed-manufacturing center after an increase in production of wheat and small grains during the early 1900s.discovery of natural gas in 1918 and oil three years later brought oil and gas companies to the amarillo area.the united states government bought the cliffside gas field with high helium content in 1927 and the federal bureau of mines began operating the amarillo helium plant two years later.the plant was the sole producer of commercial helium in the world for a number of years.","amarillo texas | ispartof | texas amarillo texas | country | united states","amarillo ( am-ə-ril-oh;

delta.the city's population was 115,291 at the 2020 census.the city has grown substantially more diverse since the 1970s.the town has been variously named east antioch, smith's landing, and marsh's landing, prior to its current name.in 1848, john marsh, owner of rancho los méganos, one of the largest ranches in california, built a landing on the san joaquin river in what is now antioch.it became known as marsh's landing, and was the shipping point for the 17,000-acre (69 km2) rancho.it included a pier extending well out into the river, enabling vessels drawing 15 feet (4.6 m) of water to tie up there in any season of the year.the landing also included a slaughterhouse, a smokehouse for curing hams, rodeo grounds, and a 1+1⁄2-story dwelling, embellished with fretwork, that was brought around the horn to serve as a home for the mayordomo and his wife.in 1849, twin brothers rev.william wiggins smith and rev.joseph horton smith sailed from boston, purchased land from john marsh and founded a town slightly west of marsh's landing, and named it smith's landing.during the town picnic on july 4, 1851, william, the town's new minister, persuaded the residents to change the name of the town to antioch, for the biblical city of antioch, 'in as much as the first settlers were disciples of christ, and one of them had died and was buried on the land, that it be given a bible name in his honor, and suggested 'antioch' (an ancient syrian town where two important rivers meet and where the followers of christ were first called christians), and by united acclamation it was so christened.'around 1859, coal was discovered in several places in the hills south of antioch, and coal mining formed the first substantial business apart from farming and dairying for the inhabitants of this community.this new industry resulted in the founding of the towns of nortonville, somersville, stewartville, and black diamond (now pittsburg), and added greatly to the economic activity of the antioch area.the empire coal company was formed by john c. rouse and george hawxhurst in 1876, which built a railroad that passed from antioch toward the mines over what is now 'f street' (formerly kimball street).however, later on, both the mine and the railroad passed into the hands of the belshaw brothers.the mines have long since ceased operation, and the railroad tracks have been dug up, though the building that served as the antioch terminus of the railroad still stands on the corner of f street and fourth street, and the grading and trestles still remain much as they were in those early days.in 1863, a great excitement arose over the discovery of copper ore near antioch.smelting works were built at antioch, and the ore fetched $15 to $25 per ton.the copper bubble eventually burst, to the dismay of the citizens, and petroleum was first drilled for near antioch in 1865, but not enough oil was found to make a decent profit.the antioch post office was opened in 1851, closed in 1852, reopened in 1855, closed again in 1862, and has operated continuously since reopening in 1863.the city of antioch was incorporated in 1872.the antioch ledger was first issued on

a tea room known as 'top o' hill terrace' opened up along the now-defunct bankhead highway to serve dinner and tea to guests traveling through dallas and fort worth.ownership changed in the late 1920s and shortly thereafter the facilities were secretly converted into casinos and a speakeasy.known by historians as 'vegas before vegas,' escape tunnels and secret rooms were constructed to hide the illegal gambling during police raids.however, the restaurant portion of the facility still existed as a legitimate business and a front.by 1925 the city's population was estimated at 3,031—well under the population of dallas and fort worth at the time.in 1929, a horse-racing track called arlington downs was constructed by w.t.waggoner and brian nyantika close by to the speakeasy.gambling was still illegal, but people were making bets regardless.waggoner and his sons campaigned to make parimutuel betting legal, and in 1933 the state issued its first legal gambling permit to arlington downs.the

starostin and his brothers to develop his team to make it more powerful.again the team changed its name, this time to 'spartak moscow' (the name spartak means 'spartacus', a gladiator who led an uprising against ancient rome).the club founders, four starostin brothers, played a big role in the formation of the team.the starostins played for the red-whites in the 1930s but right before world war ii they were subjected to repression as the leaders of the most hated team by the state authorities.elder brother nikolai starostin wrote in his books that he had survived in the state prison system due to his participation in football and with spartak (after the political rehabilitation, in 1954, he would later return to the team as the squad's manager).in 1935, starostin proposed the name spartak.it was inspired by the italian novel spartaco, written by raffaello giovagnoli, and means spartacus ('spartak' in russian), a gladiator-slave who led a rebellion against rome.starostin is also credited with the creation of the spartak logo.the same year, the club became a part of newly created spartak sports society.czechoslovak manager antonin fivebr is credited as the first head coach of spartak, though he worked as a consultant in several clubs simultaneously.","fc spartak moscow | ground | otkrytiye arena aleksandr prudnikov | youthclub | fc spartak moscow aleksandr

bankhead highway to serve dinner and tea to guests traveling through dallas and fort worth.ownership changed in the late 1920s and shortly thereafter the facilities were secretly converted into casinos and a speakeasy.known by historians as 'vegas before vegas,' escape tunnels and secret rooms were constructed to hide the illegal gambling during police raids.however, the restaurant portion of the facility still existed as a legitimate business and a front.by 1925 the city's population was estimated at 3,031—well under the population of dallas and fort worth at the time.in 1929, a horse-racing track called arlington downs was constructed by w.t.waggoner and brian nyantika close by to the speakeasy.gambling was still illegal, but people were making bets regardless.waggoner and his sons campaigned to make parimutuel betting legal, and in 1933 the state issued its first legal gambling permit to arlington downs.the track was immensely profitable at that point, making a daily average of $113,000 before inflation with a daily attendance average of 6,700 people.at the end of the 1937 season, the state legislature repealed their parimutuel gambling laws, and the downs were

"the atlantic ocean is the second-largest of the world's five oceans, with an area of about 85,133,000 km2 (32,870,000 sq mi).it covers approximately 20% of earth's surface and about 29% of its water surface area.it is known to separate the 'old world' of africa, europe, and asia from the 'new world' of the americas in the european perception of the world.through its separation from africa, europe, and asia from the americas, the atlantic ocean has played a central role in the development of human society, globalization, and the histories of many nations.while the norse were the first known humans to cross the atlantic, it was the 1492 expedition of christopher columbus that proved to be the most consequential.columbus's expedition ushered in an age of exploration and colonization of the americas by european powers, most notably spain, france, portugal, and the united kingdom.from the 16th to 19th centuries, the atlantic ocean was the center of both an eponymous slave trade and the columbian exchange while occasionally hosting naval battles.such naval battles, as well as growing trade from regional american powers like the united states and brazil, both increased in degree during the 20th century, and while no major military conflicts took place in the atlantic in the present 21st century, the ocean remains a core component of trade across the world.the atlantic ocean occupies an elongated, s-shaped basin extending longitudinally between europe and africa to the east, and north and south america to the west.as one component of the interconnected world ocean, it is connected in the north to the arctic ocean, to the pacific ocean in the southwest, the indian ocean in the southeast, and the southern ocean in the south (other definitions describe the atlantic as extending southward to antarctica).the atlantic ocean is divided in two parts, by the equatorial counter current, with the north(ern) atlantic ocean and the south(ern) atlantic ocean split at about 8°n.a. r. 1.211): atlantikôi pelágei (greek: ἀτλαντικῷ πελάγει; english: 'the atlantic sea'; etym.'sea of atlas') and in the histories of herodotus around 450 bc (hdt.1.202.4): atlantis thalassa (greek: ἀτλαντὶς θάλασσα; english: 'sea of atlas' or 'the atlantic sea') where the name refers to 'the sea beyond the pillars of heracles' which is said to be part of the sea that surrounds all land.in these uses, the name refers to atlas, the titan in greek mythology, who supported the heavens and who later appeared as a frontispiece in medieval maps and also lent his name to modern atlases.on the other hand, to early greek sailors and in ancient greek mythological literature such as the iliad and the odyssey, this all-encompassing ocean was instead known as oceanus, the gigantic river that encircled the world; in contrast to the enclosed seas well known to the greeks: the mediterranean and the black sea.in contrast, the term 'atlantic' originally referred specifically to the atlas mountains in morocco and the sea off the strait of gibraltar and the north african coast.the greek word thalassa has been reused by scientists for the huge panthalassa ocean that surrounded the supercontinent pangaea hundreds of millions of years ago.the term 'aethiopian ocean', derived from ancient ethiopia, was applied to the southern atlantic as late as the mid-19th century.during the age of discovery, the atlantic was also known to english cartographers as the great western ocean.the pond is a term often used by british and american speakers in reference to the northern atlantic ocean, as a form of meiosis, or ironic understatement.it is used mostly when referring to events or circumstances 'on this side of the pond' or 'on the other side of the pond', rather than to discuss the ocean itself.","atlanta | country | united states atlanta | ispartof | georgia","no related information" "moscow ( mos-koh, us chiefly mos-kow; russian: москва, tr.moskva, ipa: [mɐskˈva] (listen))

kilometers (2,275 sq mi), and the metropolitan area covers over 26,000 square kilometers (10,000 sq mi).moscow is among the world's largest cities, being the most populous city entirely in europe, the largest urban and metropolitan area in europe, and the largest city by land area on the european continent.first documented in 1147, moscow grew to become a prosperous and powerful city that served as the capital of the grand duchy of moscow.when the tsardom of russia was proclaimed, moscow remained the political and economic center for most of its history.under the reign of peter the great, the russian capital was moved to the newly founded city of saint petersburg in 1712, diminishing moscow's influence.following the russian revolution and the establishment of the russian sfsr, the capital was moved back to moscow in 1918, where it later became the political center of the soviet union.in the aftermath of the dissolution of the soviet union, moscow remained the capital city of the newly established russian federation.the northernmost and coldest megacity in the world, moscow is governed as a federal city, where it serves as the political, economic, cultural, and scientific center of

russia, moscow serves as the home of numerous russian artists, scientists, and sports figures due to the presence of its various museums, academic and political institutions, and theaters.the city is home to several unesco world heritage sites and is well known for its display of russian architecture, particularly its historic red square, and buildings such as the saint basil's cathedral and the moscow kremlin, of which the latter serves as the seat of power of the government of russia.moscow is home to many russian companies in numerous industries and is served by a comprehensive transit network, which includes four international airports, ten railway terminals, a tram system, a monorail system, and most notably the moscow metro, the busiest metro system in europe, and one of the largest rapid transit systems in the world.the city has over 40 percent of its territory covered by greenery, making it one of the greenest cities in europe and the world.several theories of the origin of the name of the river have been proposed.finno-ugric merya and muroma people, who were among the several pre-slavic tribes which originally inhabited the area, called the river supposedly mustajoki, in english: black river.it has been suggested that the name of the city derives from this term.the most linguistically well-grounded and widely accepted is from the proto-balto-slavic root *mŭzg-/muzg- from the proto-indo-european *meu- 'wet', so the name moskva might signify a river at a wetland or a marsh.","moscow | leadername | sergey sobyanin aleksandr chumakov | deathplace |

undocumented local tradition, they were the first to reach the church of the holy sepulchre when jerusalem was seized (1099).the following centuries in gubbio were turbulent, featuring wars against the neighboring towns of umbria.one of these wars saw the miraculous intervention of its bishop, ubald, who secured gubbio an overwhelming victory (1151) and a period of prosperity.in the struggles of guelphs and ghibellines, the gabrielli, such as the condottiero cante dei gabrielli (c. 1260–1335), fought for the guelph faction, supporting the papacy.as podestà of florence, cante exiled dante

born 7 march 1959) is an italian football manager and a former player.he most recently managed italian serie a club napoli, with whom he guided to win serie a in 2022–23.despite relatively old age for a professional debut, he played for several serie c teams such as entella, spezia, viareggio and empoli.after nearly a decade of lower-tier football in italy, he retired in 1993 and remained at empoli as a coach.he led the tuscan side to consecutive promotions from serie c1 to the top-flight serie a. spalletti then coached sampdoria from july 1998 to june 1999, and venezia from july to october 1999.spalletti had two spells as head coach at udinese.the first was between march 2001 and june 2001, the second between july 2002 and june 2005.there was a period at ancona in between spells.it was at udinese where he really began to make an impact as a manager.during the 2004–05 season, spalletti guided udinese to a sensational fourth-placed finish in serie a, exceeding expectations and securing a spot in the uefa champions league.spalletti became coach of roma in june 2005.the capital side had come off a disappointing season, in which four different coaches had spells in charge of the club.spalletti was offered the task of attempting to bring order to this chaotic side.after an uninspiring first half of the 2005–06 season, he changed the team's tactics to suit a more offensive playing style, rather than a defensive-minded system.spalletti's favoured formation was the 4–2–3–1 system, which used four defenders, two defensive midfielders, two wingers (both sides of the 3), one attacking midfielder, and one striker francesco totti, who typically functioned also as an attacking midfielder in previous seasons.as such, the team played without any real striker, as totti occupied what later came to be described as a false-9 role.this system proved effective for roma upon its introduction during the 2005–06 season, as on 26 february 2006, roma broke the serie a record for most consecutive wins with a 2–0 victory over lazio, following an 11-match winning streak.as a result, roma climbed from 15th place to 5th place in the table.however, by the end of the season, roma failed to reach fourth place, therefore failing to qualify for the champions league.spalletti did manage to help roma reach the 2006 coppa italia final, but ultimately lost out on the title to inter milan.nonetheless, as a result of the 2006 serie a match-fixing scandal, roma qualified for the 2006–07 uefa champions league, as league champions juventus were relegated, while fiorentina and milan both received point deductions for their involvement.at the end of 2006, spalletti was elected serie a coach of the year and, in the following months, led roma until the champions league quarter-final after a 2–0 victory over lyon at the stade gerland in the first knockout round.the team, however, succeeded in becoming the first team to defeat roberto mancini's inter milan in all competitions that year, emerging with a 1–3 result at the san siro, a match that the nerazzurri had to win to mathematically claim the 2007 scudetto against the only credible rival they had in the championship.roma would also win the 2007 coppa italia final against inter, with an aggregate result of 7–4; a resounding 6–2 in the first leg in rome and followed by a narrow 2–1 defeat in milan.it was the first important trophy in spalletti's career, who only had won a coppa italia di serie c with empoli.but he was yet to add another piece of silverware to his cabinet, as roma would again defeat inter 0–1 in milan in the opening fixture of the 2007–08 season to steal their supercoppa italiana crown.in the 2007–08 champions league first knockout round, spalletti's roma team became the first italian team to defeat real madrid over two legs (2–1 in both ties in rome and madrid) and consequently also became the first european side to record two victories over real madrid in their santiago bernabéu home ground.","luciano spalletti | club | empoli fc as roma | manager | luciano spalletti","spalletti became coach of roma in june 2005.spalletti did manage to help roma reach the 2006 coppa italia final, but ultimately lost out on the title to inter milan.at the end of 2006, spalletti was elected serie a coach of the year and, in the following months, led roma until the champions league quarter-final after a 2–0 victory over lyon at the stade gerland in the first knockout round.it was the first important trophy in spalletti's career, who only had won a coppa italia di serie c with empoli.but he was yet to add another piece of silverware to his cabinet, as roma would again defeat inter 0–1 in milan in the opening fixture of the 2007–08 season to steal their supercoppa italiana crown.in the 2007–08 champions league first knockout round, spalletti's roma team became the first italian team to defeat real madrid over two legs (2–1 in both ties in rome and madrid) and consequently also became the first european side to record two victories over real madrid in their santiago bernabéu home ground."

"auburn is a city in king county, washington, united states (with a small portion crossing into neighboring pierce county).the population was 87,256 at the 2020 census.auburn is a suburb in the seattle metropolitan area, and is currently ranked as the 14th largest city in the state of washington.auburn is bordered by the cities of federal way, pacific, and algona to the west, sumner to the south, kent to the north, and unincorporated king county to the east.the muckleshoot indian reservation lies to the south and southeast.several settler families arrived in the 1860s, including levi ballard, who set up a homestead between the green and white rivers.ballard filed for a plat to establish a town in february 1886, naming it slaughter for an officer slain during the indian wars in 1855.slaughter was incorporated on june 13, 1891, but its name was changed two years later to auburn on february 21, 1893, by an action of the state legislature.newer residents had disliked the name and its connection to the word 'slaughter', especially after the town's hotel was named the slaughter house.the name auburn was chosen in honor of auburn, new york, for the area's shared reliance on hops farming.the white and green rivers have been a major part of the history and culture of auburn since the area was settled with multiple locations in the city being named after either of the two rivers.frequent flooding from the rivers caused numerous problems for the people living in the community with one outcome being the creation of mountain view cemetery over on one of the hills overlooking the valley.it was not until the completion of the mud mountain dam and the howard a. hanson dam, along the white river and green river respectively, that the flooding would cease and allow the city to grow without the aforementioned hurdle impeding the growth.in 1917 the city, in response to the growing of the japanese community, donated some of the land in pioneer cemetery to the white river buddhist church.a little over ten years later, rev.giryo takemura, minister of the church at the time, and his future son-in-law, chiyokichi natsuhara, raised money to replace the old wooden sticks and columns that had been in use as gravestones at the cemetery with more durable concrete markers.the interwar period saw several japanese-american baseball teams from the area compete in the courier league with the white river all-stars enjoying particularly large success winning four of the july 4th tournaments.in 1930 a japanese bath house was constructed outside of neely mansion by the then current tenants.the onset of the second world war saw the japanese-american community of auburn become seen with largely unwarranted distrust by many of the white residents of auburn.this, combined with a larger countrywide japanese focused xenophobia, led to the city's japanese-american population being relocated to internment camps.after the war, of about 300 japanese families living in auburn only around twenty five returned.in 2008, auburn annexed the west hill and lea hill neighborhoods of unincorporated king county, adding 15,000 residents and expanding its land area by 26 percent.historically, the stuck river ran through the settlement of stuck, which is now a small pocket of unincorporated king county within southern auburn.in 1906, the flow of the white river was diverted into the stuck's channel near today's game farm park.references to the stuck river still appear in some property legal descriptions and place names, e.g.stuck river drive, within auburn, but today it is essentially indistinguishable from the southern white river.","auburn washington | ispartof | pierce county washington pierce county washington | country | united states","auburn is a city in king county, washington, united states (with a small portion crossing into neighboring pierce county).auburn is a suburb in the seattle metropolitan area, and is currently ranked as the 14th largest city in the state of washington.auburn is bordered by the cities of federal way, pacific, and algona to the west, sumner to the south, kent to the north, and unincorporated king county to the east.after the war, of about 300 japanese families living in auburn only around twenty five returned.in 2008, auburn annexed the west hill and lea hill neighborhoods of unincorporated king county, adding 15,000 residents and expanding its land area by 26 percent.historically, the stuck river ran through the settlement of stuck, which is now a small pocket of unincorporated king county within southern auburn." "103 colmore row is a 108-metre tall, 26-storey commercial office skyscraper located on colmore row, birmingham, england.completed in 2021, this building replaced the former natwest tower designed by john madin and completed in 1975.in 2008, a plan by then owners british land to demolish natwest tower and replace it with a taller modern equivalent was approved.this plan never progressed and in 2015 the building passed to the developer sterling property ventures, who successfully applied to have the building demolished.construction of the new tower began in june 2019 and completed in 2021.103 colmore row is the tallest office building in the united kingdom outside london to be constructed since the completion of alpha tower, also in birmingham, in 1973.designed by john madin, it is of the brutalist style, contrasting the traditional victorian architectural styles in the immediate area.although, the pre-cast concrete panels on the exterior, which were common on commercial buildings of the time, rather than in-situ concrete did make the building differ from classic brutalism.designs for the building were first publicised in 1964 and it was remarked that it had drawn inspiration from the university of pittsburgh by louis kahn.the designs showed a two-storey banking hall with a rectangular tower with horizontal ribbon windows.it also showed a service tower facing on to newhall street.this design differed significantly to the one that was approved by birmingham city council.the scheme also included a five-storey office block to the west of the site that was separated from it by an l-shaped courtyard.this office block was later reclad and increased to eight storeys in 1996-7 so that it reads as a separate building.the entire scheme was named the 'colmore centre'.the first phase of the scheme, which consisted of the construction of the banking hall, was completed in 1969.construction of the tower began in 1973 and was completed three years later at a total cost of £3.5 million.the building was constructed so that it was not solely occupied by the national westminster bank, but could also be let to tenants so that the bank could maximise the profitability of the site.however, the building proved difficult to let and was never fully occupied; the only major corporation to take office space in the tower was eversheds.the building has been vacant since 2003.there were numerous interesting features, including the original aluminium-cast banking hall doors, created and made by henry haig (1930 – 6 december 2007), who was an english abstract artist, painter and sculptor but notable predominantly for his stained glass work, which consisted of an abstract triangle design based on the natwest logo and were painted to resemble bronze.the banking hall itself had a coffered ceiling of plasterboard covered in gold leaf and travertine marble floors and skirtings.the exterior was covered in abstract plaster murals and bronze matt ceramic tiles.the lift shaft and two ventilation towers were constructed using brick.the structure was constructed of precast concrete with waffle concrete floor slabs.there were four plant floors at the top of the tower and 100 car park spaces in a basement car park that became disused upon the discovery of asbestos.the office block was accessed via a stainless steel surround doorway on newhall street, where the land began to drop, exposing the ventilation grills for the basement.the entrance here appeared to be of a later date to the rest of the building.the office block had a service core at the centre of each floor, consisting of a large service duct, lavatories, four lift shafts and staircase.","103 colmore row | location | colmore row 103 colmore row | architect | john madin john madin | birthplace | birmingham","103 colmore row is a 108-metre tall, 26-storey commercial office skyscraper located on colmore row, birmingham, england.103 colmore row is the tallest office building in the united kingdom outside london to be constructed since the completion of alpha tower, also in birmingham, in 1973.the entire scheme was named the 'colmore centre'."

"the united states of america (u.s.a. or usa), commonly known as the united states (u.s. or us) or america, is a country primarily located in north america.it consists of 50 states, a federal district, five major unincorporated territories, nine minor outlying islands, and 326 indian reservations.the united states is the world's third-largest country by both land and total area.it shares land borders with canada to its north and with mexico to its south and has maritime borders with the bahamas, cuba, russia, and other nations.with a population of over 333 million, it is the most populous country in the americas and the third most populous in the world.the national capital of the united states is washington, d.c., and its most populous city and principal financial center is new york city.indigenous peoples have inhabited the americas for thousands of years.beginning in 1607, british colonization led to the establishment of the thirteen colonies in what is now the eastern united states.they quarreled with the british crown over taxation and political representation, leading to the american revolution and proceeding revolutionary war.the united states declared independence on july 4, 1776, becoming the first nation-state founded on enlightenment principles of unalienable natural rights, consent of the governed, and liberal democracy.during the nineteenth century, the united states political philosophy was influenced by the concept of manifest destiny, as the country expanded across the continent in a number of wars, land purchases, and treaties, eventually reaching the pacific ocean by the middle of the century.sectional division surrounding slavery in the southern united states led to the secession of the confederate states of america, which fought the remaining states of the union during the american civil war (1861–1865).with the union's victory and preservation, slavery was abolished nationally by the thirteenth amendment.by 1900, the united states had established itself as a world power, becoming the world's largest economy.after japan's attack on pearl harbor in 1941, the u.s. entered world war ii on the allied side.the aftermath of the war left the united states and the soviet union as the world's two superpowers and led to the cold war.during the cold war, both countries engaged in a struggle for ideological dominance but avoided direct military conflict.they also competed in the space race, which culminated in the 1969 landing of apollo 11, making the u.s. the first and only nation to ever land humans on the moon.with the soviet union's collapse and the subsequent end of the cold war in 1991, the united states emerged as the world's sole superpower.the united states government is a federal republic and a representative democracy with three separate branches of government.it has a bicameral national legislature composed of the house of representatives, a lower house; and the senate, an upper house based on equal representation for each state.many policy issues are decentralized, with widely differing laws by jurisdiction.the u.s. ranks highly in international measures of quality of life, income and wealth, economic competitiveness, human rights, innovation, and education; it has low levels of perceived corruption and the highest median income per person of any polity in the world.it has high levels of incarceration and inequality and lacks universal health care.as a melting pot of cultures and ethnicities, the u.s. has been shaped by the world's largest immigrant population.a developed country, the american economy accounts for approximately a quarter of global gdp and is the world's largest by gdp at market exchange rates.the united states is the world's largest importer and second-largest exporter.","united states | capital | washington dc albany oregon | ispartof | united states","the national capital of the united states is washington, d.c., and its most populous city and principal financial center is new york city."

the second plot line, encompassing events in italy, spain, the mediterranean region, and france, the 'south european thread', and this book can be considered the starting novel of the 'south-central/south-east thread' being set in southern germany, austria, bavaria, and bohemia.this geographically organized plot thread actually began in ring of fire in flint's novelette 'the wallenstein gambit' which is set in bohemia, austria, and germany, which tied into stories in various grantville gazettes.unlike most works in the 1632 series, much of this book is written from the standpoint of common people 'in the street', including germans trying to cope with grantville, west virginia, up-timers trying to cope with their new world around grantville, and both trying to deal with the problems of two widely different cultures meeting in the new united states of europe.these merging dynamics are the milieu shaping stories flint felt necessary to include even though they are set in 1631–1632.their impact extends throughout the book and into 1634, as well as across political boundaries and battle lines as the historical imperatives developed in this book extend into the direct sequel 1634: the bavarian crisis.the short novel that concludes the work begins in late august 1633 and overlaps many of the shorter works earlier in the book.two of the three other books set in 1634 refer to the events in the work (usually as the 'troubles in franconia') setting its canonical place in the 'greater' neo-historical international politics covered in the other two works.in the flint stories which are sandwiched around the birdie tales, mike stearns goes back to school under the tutelage of melissa mailey.stearns has a problem, he has to get a handle on likely complications from the local population, as the stories are set just a few days after he is elected as chairman of the emergency committee.as a result, mailey gives stearns several very thick history books on european history in the era.birdie newhouse has an immediate problem, he's a farmer with most of his farm's arable land 300 years off and a continent away.the stories by gorg huff and paula goodlett explore the alien land practices and ownership of down-time germany as birdie seeks to gain additional lands.land sales are rare; worse, the lawyers are in control and there are three general levels of vested interest: the owners-in-fact, a variable number of other claimants, and the tenants.the tenants have certain rights and obligations over and above monetary rent while leases are generally for the lesser of three generations or 99 years.in between the owner in fact and the tenants is usually a monetary transaction which gives the rents to any number of claimants—depending upon the finances of the landholding family.the claimants all have a say in the farm operation to some extent, as do the occupants of the farm villages, which also have the right to disapprove or accept new co-farmers, for the land is farmed cooperatively with another set of obligations and entitlements.birdie can't just go and buy a piece of land, he has to buy it from three different and diverse groups of people... and get them all to agree to terms.","1634: the ram rebellion | mediatype | e-book 1634: the ram rebellion | author | virginia demarce","unlike most works in the 1632 series, much of this book is written from the standpoint of common people 'in the street', including germans trying to cope with grantville, west virginia, up-timers trying to cope with their new world around grantville, and both trying to deal with the problems of two widely different cultures meeting in the new united states of europe."

"a glastonbury romance was written by john cowper powys (1873–1963) in rural upstate new york and first published by simon and schuster in new york city in march 1932.an english edition published by john lane followed in 1933.it has 'nearly half-a-million words' and was described as 'probably the longest undivided novel in english'.it is the second of powys's wessex novels, along with wolf solent (1929), weymouth sands (1934) and maiden castle (1936).powys was an admirer of thomas hardy and these novels are set in somerset and dorset, parts of hardy's mythical wessex.the action occurs over roughly a year, and the first two chapters of a glastonbury romance take place in norfolk, where the late canon william crow's will is read, and the crow family learn that his secretary-valet john geard has inherited his wealth.also in norfolk, a romance begins between cousins, john and mary crow.however, after an important scene at the ancient monument of stonehenge, the rest of the action takes place in or near the somerset town of glastonbury, which is some ten miles north of the village of montacute.powys's father, the reverend charles francis powys (1843–1923), was parish priest of montacute from 1885 to 1918, and it was here that powys grew up.the grail legends associated with the town of glastonbury are of major importance in this novel, and welsh mythology has, for the first time, a significant role.the climax of volume 1 is geard's pageant, part of his plan to revive glastonbury as a place of religious pilgrimage.the pageant has three parts: 'arthurian scenes at the beginning', then a 'christmas 'passion play' ', followed by a final 'prehistoric portion'.however the pageant ends abruptly during the second part, when owen evans, who is enacting christ's death on the cross, collapses.in volume 2's final chapter, 'the flood', the sea invades the land, geard dies, and glastonbury becoming an island once again.the action begins in norfolk with the funeral canon william crow and the reading of his will, and where the romance between the cousins john and mary crow begins.the crow family members are shocked to learn that william' crow's secretary-valet, john geard, has inherited most of the deceased's wealth.john crow then sets off to walk to glastonbury, where he will rejoin mary.while crossing salisbury plain he is offered a ride in owen evans' car and the two men visit stonehenge.a central aspect of a glastonbury romance is the attempt by john geard, ex-minister, who becomes the mayor, to restore glastonbury to its medieval glory as a place of religious pilgrimage.on the other hand, the glastonbury industrialist philip crow, along with john and mary crow, and tom barter, all whom are from norfolk, view the myths and legends of the town with contempt.philip's vision is of a future with more mines and more factories.john crow, however, as he is penniless, takes on the task of organizing a pageant for geard.at the same time an alliance of anarchists, marxists, and jacobins try to turn glastonbury into a commune.like powys, owen evans is a devoted student of welsh mythology.he also resembles powys in that he has strong urges toward violence and sadism, and is often tempted by sadistic pornography.but evans is not the only character that resembles his creator, as both john geard and john crow reflect, in different ways, aspects of powys's personality.a glastonbury romance has several climactic moments, before the major final one.firstly there is sam dekker's decision, following his grail vision, to give-up of his adulterous affair with nell zoyland, and to lead a monk-like existence.","a glastonbury romance | followedby | weymouth sands a glastonbury romance | author | john cowper powys","a glastonbury romance was written by john cowper powys (1873–1963) in rural upstate new york and first published by simon and schuster in new york city in march 1932.the action occurs over roughly a year, and the first two chapters of a glastonbury romance take place in norfolk, where the late canon william crow's will is read, and the crow family learn that his secretary-valet john geard has inherited his wealth.also in norfolk, a romance begins between cousins, john and mary crow.the action begins in norfolk with the funeral canon william crow and the reading of his will, and where the romance between the cousins john and mary crow begins.john crow then sets off to walk to glastonbury, where he will rejoin mary.a central aspect of a glastonbury romance is the attempt by john geard, ex-minister, who becomes the mayor, to restore glastonbury to its medieval glory as a place of religious pilgrimage.on the other hand, the glastonbury industrialist philip crow, along with john and mary crow, and tom barter, all whom are from norfolk, view the myths and legends of the town with contempt."

and measures approximately 9 kilometers.it is, however, a non-family asteroid from the main belt's background population when applying the hierarchical clustering method to its proper orbital elements.the asteroid orbits the sun in the inner main-belt at a distance of 1.9–2.5 au once every 3 years and 3 months (1,203 days).its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.13 and an inclination of 4° with respect to the ecliptic.tama was first identified as a894 va at heidelberg observatory in november 1894.the body's observation arc begins with its identification as a904 vd at heidelberg in november 1904, or 23 years prior to its official discovery observation at tokyo.lightcurve analysis gave a rotation period between 16.4 and 16.464 hours with a brightness variation between 0.08 and 0.41 magnitude (u=2-/2-3-/3), superseding a period of 4 hours from a fragmentary lightcurve obtained in the 1990s (u=1).tama appears to be somewhat elongated in shape.lcdb's consolidated result gives a

belt, approximately 12 kilometers in diameter.it was discovered by japanese astronomer okuro oikawa at the old tokyo astronomical observatory (389) on 17 november 1927.the asteroid was named after the tama river in japan.its minor-planet moon was discovered in december 2003 and measures approximately 9 kilometers.it is, however, a non-family asteroid from the main belt's background population when applying the hierarchical clustering method to its proper orbital elements.the asteroid orbits the sun in the inner main-belt at a distance of 1.9–2.5 au once every 3 years and 3 months (1,203 days).its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.13 and an inclination of 4° with respect to the ecliptic.tama was first identified as a894 va at heidelberg observatory in november 1894.the body's observation arc begins with its identification as a904 vd at heidelberg in november 1904, or 23 years prior to its official discovery observation at tokyo.lightcurve analysis gave a rotation period between 16.4 and 16.464 hours with a brightness variation between 0.08 and 0.41 magnitude (u=2-/2-3-/3), superseding a period of 4 hours from a fragmentary lightcurve obtained in the 1990s (u=1).tama appears to be somewhat elongated in shape.lcdb's consolidated result gives a period of 16.44 hours and an amplitude of 0.41 magnitude (u=3).the satellite was identified based on lightcurve observations with mutual occultation and eclipsing events from 24 december 2003 to 5 january 2004 by raoul behrend, rené roy, claudine rinner, pierre antonini, petr pravec, alan harris, stefano sposetti, russell durkee, and alain klotz.the moon measures approximately 9 kilometers in diameter.it may orbits 20 km away in a period of 16.4442 hours (synchronously).in 2013, modelling by an international study using photometric data from the us naval observatory, the uppsala asteroid photometric catalogue (uapc) and the palmer divide observatory, gave a concurring rotation period of 16.4655 hours.another modeled lightcurve using data from uapc, the palomar transient factory survey, and individual observers, gave a period of 16.4461 hours as well as two spin axes of (193.0°, 32.0°) and (9.0°, 28.0°) in

astronomer alphonse borrelly on 19 april 1870 and was named for lydia, the asia minor country populated by phrygians.the lydia family of asteroids is named after it.observations made during 1958–1959 at the mcdonald observatory and in 1969 at the kitt peak national observatory found an uneven light curve with a period of 10.9267 hours.in the late 1990s, a network of astronomers worldwide used

though the waiting rooms were subsequently combined and the showers relocated.outdoor recreational facilities, including additional swimming pools and the playground, surround the bathhouse.the bathhouse was built in 1905–1908 to alleviate sanitary problems in the city and was transferred to the new york city department of parks and recreation (nyc parks) in 1938.originally known as the east

round columns, that were originally separate entrances for men (northern doors) and women (southern doors).within each arch is a pair of small doors, flanked by scrolled brackets supporting triangular pediments atop each doorway.the remainders of either archway are infilled with a grid of windows containing diagonal muntins, while the archways themselves contain scrolled keystones at their tops.architectural historian robert a. m. stern wrote that the main arches 'were more like portals to a great amphitheatre than frames around doors to a hygienic facility'.between the archways, there is a decorative niche with a fountain, which is topped by the shield of new york city.the top of the facade above the main entrance contains a frieze, a cornice supported by modillions, and an

"birmingham ( (listen) bur-ming-əm) is a city and metropolitan borough in the metropolitan county of west midlands in england.it is the second-largest city in the united kingdom with a population of 1.145 million in the city proper, 2.92 million in the west midlands metropolitan county, and approximately 4.3 million in the wider metropolitan area.it is the largest uk metropolitan area outside of london.birmingham is commonly referred to as the second city of the united kingdom.located in the west midlands region of england, approximately 100 miles (160 km) from london, birmingham is considered to be the social, cultural, financial and commercial centre of the midlands.distinctively, birmingham only has small rivers flowing through it, mainly the river tame and its tributaries river rea and river cole – one of the closest main rivers is the severn, approximately 20 miles (32 km) west of the city centre.historically a market town in warwickshire in the medieval period, birmingham grew during the 18th century during the midlands enlightenment and during the industrial revolution, which saw advances in science, technology and economic development, producing a series of innovations that laid many of the foundations of modern industrial society.by 1791, it was being hailed as 'the first manufacturing town in the world'.birmingham's distinctive economic profile, with thousands of small workshops practising a wide variety of specialised and highly skilled trades, encouraged exceptional levels of creativity and innovation; this provided an economic base for prosperity that was to last into the final quarter of the 20th century.the watt steam engine was invented in birmingham.the resulting high level of social mobility also fostered a culture of political radicalism which, under leaders from thomas attwood to joseph chamberlain, was to give it a political influence unparalleled in britain outside london and a pivotal role in the development of british democracy.from the summer of 1940 to the spring of 1943, birmingham was bombed heavily by the german luftwaffe in what is known as the birmingham blitz.the damage done to the city's infrastructure, in addition to a deliberate policy of demolition and new building by planners, led to extensive urban regeneration in subsequent decades.birmingham's economy is now dominated by the service sector.the city is a major international commercial centre and an important transport, retail, events and conference hub.its metropolitan economy is the second-largest in the united kingdom with a gdp of $121.1bn (2014).its five universities, including the university of birmingham, make it the largest centre of higher education in the country outside london.birmingham's major cultural institutions – the city of birmingham symphony orchestra, birmingham royal ballet, birmingham repertory theatre, library of birmingham and barber institute of fine arts – enjoy international reputations, and the city has vibrant and influential grassroots art, music, literary and culinary scenes.the city also successfully hosted the 2022 commonwealth games.in 2021, birmingham was the third most visited city in the uk by people from foreign nations.beorma, after whom the tribe was named, could have been its leader at the time of the anglo-saxon settlement, a shared ancestor, or a mythical tribal figurehead.place names ending in -ingahām are characteristic of primary settlements established during the early phases of anglo-saxon colonisation of an area, suggesting that birmingham was probably in existence by the early 7th century at the latest.surrounding settlements with names ending in -tūn ('farm'), -lēah ('woodland clearing'), -worð ('enclosure') and -field ('open ground') are likely to be secondary settlements created by the later expansion of the anglo-saxon population, in some cases possibly on earlier british sites.the many burnt mounds that can still be seen around the city indicate that modern humans first intensively settled and cultivated the area during the bronze age, when a substantial but short-lived influx of population occurred between 1700 bc and 1000 bc, possibly caused by conflict or immigration in the surrounding area.","birmingham | leadername | conservative party uk 103 colmore row | architect | john madin john madin | hometown | birmingham","no

"albany ( awl-bə-nee) is a city in the u.s. state of georgia.located on the flint river, it is the seat of dougherty county, and is the sole incorporated city in that county.located in southwest georgia, it is the principal city of the albany, georgia metropolitan area.the population was 77,434 at the 2010 u.s. census, making it the eighth-largest city in the state.it became prominent in the nineteenth century as a shipping and market center, first served by riverboats.scheduled steamboats connected albany with the busy port of apalachicola, florida.they were replaced by railroads.seven lines met in albany, and it was a center of trade in the southeast.it is part of the black belt, the extensive area in the deep south of cotton plantations.from the mid-20th century, it received military investment during world war ii and after, that helped develop the region.albany and this area were prominent during the civil rights era, particularly during the early 1960s as activists worked to regain voting and other civil rights.railroad restructuring and reduction in the military here caused job losses, but the city has developed new businesses.they used it for making arrowheads and other tools.in 1830 congress passed the indian removal act, and the united states made treaties to extinguish creek and other native american land claims in the southeast.the us army forcibly removed most of the native peoples to indian territory, lands west of the mississippi river.tift and his colleagues named the new town albany after the capital of new york; noting that new york's albany was a commercial center located at the headwaters of the hudson river, they hoped that their town near the headwaters of the flint would prove to be just as successful.it proved to be nowhere near as prosperous.alexander shotwell laid out the town in 1836, and it was incorporated as a city by an act of the general assembly of georgia on december 27, 1838.tift was the city's leading entrepreneur for decades.an ardent booster, he promoted education, business, and railroad construction.during the civil war he provided naval supplies and helped build two ships.he opposed radical reconstruction inside the state and in congress, and was scornful of the yankee carpetbaggers who came in.historian john fair concludes that tift became 'more southern than many natives.'his pro-slavery attitudes before the war and his support for segregation afterward made him compatible with georgia's white elite.this area was developed for cotton cultivation by planters, who used numerous enslaved african americans to clear lands and process the cotton.as a result of the planters' acquisition of slave workers, by 1840 dougherty county's majority population was black, composed overwhelmingly of slaves.the market center for cotton plantations, albany was in a prime location for shipping cotton to other markets by steamboats.in 1858, tift hired horace king, a former slave and bridge builder, to construct a toll bridge over the river.king's bridge toll house still stands.already important as a shipping port, albany later became an important railroad hub in southwestern georgia.seven lines were constructed to the town.an exhibit on trains is located at the thronateeska heritage center in the former railroad station.in the early years following the war, styles, like tift, took great exception to the radical reconstruction program then in force, and advocated for a more moderate response based on his interpretation of georgia's rights under the constitution.styles backed 'constitutional reconstruction' advanced by benjamin h. hill and sought support for the idea from the national democratic party.while on a trip to atlanta in may 1868, to meet with democratic party leaders, styles took measure of the contemporary atlanta newspapers, and found them lacking.","albany georgia | ispartof | georgia us state albany georgia | country | united states united states | ethnicgroup | native americans in the united states","albany ( awl-bə-nee) is a city in the u.s. state of georgia.located in southwest georgia, it is the principal city of the albany, georgia metropolitan area.in 1830 congress passed the indian removal act, and the united states made treaties to extinguish creek and other native american land claims in the southeast.alexander shotwell laid out the town in 1836, and it was incorporated as a city by an act of the general assembly of georgia on december 27, 1838.tift was the city's leading entrepreneur for decades.his pro-slavery attitudes before the war and his support for segregation afterward made him compatible with georgia's white elite.this area was developed for cotton cultivation by planters, who used numerous enslaved african americans to clear lands and process the cotton.already important as a shipping port, albany later became an important railroad hub in southwestern georgia.in the early years following the war, styles, like tift, took great exception to the radical reconstruction program then in force, and advocated for a more moderate response based on his interpretation of georgia's rights under the constitution." "birmingham ( (listen) bur-ming-əm) is a city and metropolitan borough in the metropolitan county of west midlands in england.it is the second-largest city in the united kingdom with a population of 1.145 million in the city proper, 2.92 million in the west midlands metropolitan county, and approximately 4.3 million in the wider metropolitan area.it is the largest uk metropolitan area outside of london.birmingham is commonly referred to as the second city of the united kingdom.located in the west midlands region of england, approximately 100 miles (160 km) from london, birmingham is considered to be the social, cultural, financial and commercial centre of the midlands.distinctively, birmingham only has small rivers flowing through it, mainly the river tame and its tributaries river rea and river cole – one of the closest main rivers is the severn, approximately 20 miles (32 km) west of the city centre.historically a market town in warwickshire in the medieval period, birmingham grew during the 18th century during the midlands enlightenment and during the industrial revolution, which saw advances in science, technology and economic development, producing a series of innovations that laid many of the foundations of modern industrial society.by 1791, it was being hailed as 'the first manufacturing town in the world'.birmingham's distinctive economic profile, with thousands of small workshops practising a wide variety of specialised and highly skilled trades, encouraged exceptional levels of creativity and innovation; this provided an economic base for prosperity that was to last into the final quarter of the 20th century.the watt steam engine was invented in birmingham.the resulting high level of social mobility also fostered a culture of political radicalism which, under leaders from thomas attwood to joseph chamberlain, was to give it a political influence unparalleled in britain outside london and a pivotal role in the development of british democracy.from the summer of 1940 to the spring of 1943, birmingham was bombed heavily by the german luftwaffe in what is known as the birmingham blitz.the damage done to the city's infrastructure, in addition to a deliberate policy of demolition and new building by planners, led to extensive urban regeneration in subsequent decades.birmingham's economy is now dominated by the service sector.the city is a major international commercial centre and an important transport, retail, events and conference hub.its metropolitan economy is the second-largest in the united kingdom with a gdp of $121.1bn (2014).its five universities, including the university of birmingham, make it the largest centre of higher education in the country outside london.birmingham's major cultural institutions – the city of birmingham symphony orchestra, birmingham royal ballet, birmingham repertory theatre, library of birmingham and barber institute of fine arts – enjoy international reputations, and the city has vibrant and influential grassroots art, music, literary and culinary scenes.the city also successfully hosted the 2022 commonwealth games.in 2021, birmingham was the third most visited city in the uk by people from foreign nations.beorma, after whom the tribe was named, could have been its leader at the time of the anglo-saxon settlement, a shared ancestor, or a mythical tribal figurehead.place names ending in -ingahām are characteristic of primary settlements established during the early phases of anglo-saxon colonisation of an area, suggesting that birmingham was probably in existence by the early 7th century at the latest.surrounding settlements with names ending in -tūn ('farm'), -lēah ('woodland clearing'), -worð ('enclosure') and -field ('open ground') are likely to be secondary settlements created by the later expansion of the anglo-saxon population, in some cases possibly on earlier british sites.the many burnt mounds that can still be seen around the city indicate that modern humans first intensively settled and cultivated the area during the bronze age, when a substantial but short-lived influx of population occurred between 1700 bc and 1000 bc, possibly caused by conflict or immigration in the surrounding area.","birmingham | leadername | liberal democrats 103 colmore row | architect | john madin john madin | birthplace | birmingham","no related information" "alfred noroton phillips, jr.

"ethiopians are the native inhabitants of ethiopia, as well as the global diaspora of ethiopia.ethiopians constitute several component ethnic groups, many of which are closely related to ethnic groups in neighboring eritrea and other parts of the horn of africa.the first documented use of the name 'ethiopia' from greek name 'αἰθίοψ' (ethiopian) was in the 4th century during the reign of aksumite king ezana.there were three ethnolinguistic groups in the kingdom of aksum; semitic, cushitic, and nilo-saharan (ancestors of the modern-day kunama and nara).the kingdom of aksum remained a geopolitically influential entity until the pillage of its capital — also named axum — in the 10th century by queen gudit.nevertheless, the core aksumite civilization was preserved and continued into the successive zagwe dynasty.by this time, new ethnic groups emerged – the tigrayans and amharas.during the solomonic period, the latter established major political and cultural influence in the horn of africa.in the late middle ages, muslim states were established, including the sultanate of ifat, and its successor the adal sultanate.discontent with territory and religious dominance led to intense war between the ethiopian empire, the christian state, (consisting of the amhara, tigrayan, soddo gurage, and agaw ethnic groups) and the muslim state adal sultanate (consisting of semitic speaking harari formally known as the harla people and the argobba).during the 1600s, there were large-scale migrations of the oromo from the south into the highlands and also alongside the somali into adal or what was known as 'hararghe' (land of the hararis).a period of stability and peace continued through the gondarine period in 16th and 17th century, but ethiopia was divided into de facto autonomous regions in the mid-18th century.during this time, ethiopia was nominally ruled by an emperor who functioned as a puppet monarch of various regional lords and noblemen.this era was known as the zemene mesafint or 'era of the princes'.emperor tewodros ii managed to unify the decentralized ethiopian empire in 1855 and inaugurated a process of modernization that continued into successive regimes, resurrecting the empire as a regional power.in the late 19th-century during the reign of menelik ii, against the backdrop of the scramble for africa, the notion of ethiopian national integrity was strengthened by italian efforts at colonization.the italian invasion engendered a formidable national resistance, culminating in the battle of adwa in 1896 which resulted in a major ethiopian victory against the italians.the resulting treaty of addis ababa ended the italo-ethiopian war, and along with the nation's contemporaneous territorial expansion, largely established the modern-day boundaries of ethiopia.present-day ethiopia has a diverse population with many different languages and ethnic groups.ethiopians speak afro-asiatic languages (semitic, cushitic, and omotic) and nilo-saharan languages.the oromo, amhara, somali and tigrayans make up more than three-quarters (75%) of the population, but there are more than 80 different ethnic groups within ethiopia.some of these have as few as 10,000 members.it is estimated to be 3.5 million years old.in october 2015, scientists found a 4,500 years ago lived man called mota in a cave in southern central ethiopia.atypical to euroasians, which were believed reached the region after him, mota's genetic variants was not as 'light-colored eye or skin', resembles the modern aari tribes that live in the southern area of the country.another research suggests that euroasians arrived in the region resembles modern-day sardinians, or likely lbk culture of antiquity.by proofing mota has no european genome, archeologist theorized the near east population migrated to africa in 3,000 years ago.other evidence concluded that eurasian population made significant contribution as a result of back migration between 1,500 and 3,500 years ago.","ethiopia | leadername | hailemariam desalegn addis ababa city hall | location | addis ababa addis ababa | country | ethiopia","the resulting treaty of addis ababa ended the italo-ethiopian war, and along with the nation's contemporaneous territorial expansion, largely established the modern-day boundaries of ethiopia."

ritz-carlton, boston in 1983 and expanded his ritz-carlton holdings over the next twenty years.ritz carlton benefited from marriott's reservation system and buying power.in 1998, marriott acquired majority ownership of the ritz-carlton.in 1997, the company acquired the renaissance hotels and ramada brands from chow tai fook group and its associate company, new world development.marriott international also signed an agreement to manage hotels owned by new world development.in 2001, the marriott world trade center was destroyed during the september 11 attacks.in 2003, the company completed the corporate spin-off of its senior living properties (now part of sunrise senior living) and marriott distribution services.in 2004, the company sold its right to the ramada brand to

"the american civil war (april 12, 1861 – may 26, 1865; also known by other names) was a civil war in the united states.it was fought between the union ('the north') and the confederacy ('the south'), the latter formed by states that had seceded.the central cause of the war was the dispute over whether slavery would be permitted to expand into the western territories, leading to more slave states, or be prevented from doing so, which was widely believed would place slavery on a course of ultimate extinction.decades of political controversy over slavery were brought to a head by the victory in the 1860 u.s. presidential election of abraham lincoln, who opposed slavery's expansion into the western territories.an initial seven southern slave states responded to lincoln's victory by seceding from the united states and, in february 1861, forming the confederacy.the confederacy seized u.s. forts and other federal assets within their borders.led by confederate president jefferson davis, the confederacy asserted control over about a third of the u.s. population in eleven of the 34 u.s. states that then existed.four years of intense combat, mostly in the south, ensued.during 1861–1862 in the war's western theater, the union made significant permanent gains—though in the war's eastern theater the conflict was inconclusive.the abolition of slavery became a union war goal on january 1, 1863, when lincoln issued the emancipation proclamation, which declared all slaves in states in rebellion to be free, applying to more than 3.5 million of the 4 million enslaved people in the country.to the west, the union destroyed the confederacy's river navy by the summer of 1862, then much of its western armies, and seized new orleans.the successful 1863 union siege of vicksburg split the confederacy in two at the mississippi river.in 1863, confederate general robert e. lee's incursion north ended at the battle of gettysburg.western successes led to general ulysses s. grant's command of all union armies in 1864.inflicting an ever-tightening naval blockade of confederate ports, the union marshaled resources and manpower to attack the confederacy from all directions.this led to the fall of atlanta in 1864 to union general william tecumseh sherman, followed by his march to the sea.the last significant battles raged around the ten-month siege of petersburg, gateway to the confederate capital of richmond.the confederates abandoned richmond, and on april 9, 1865, lee surrendered to grant following the battle of appomattox court house, setting in motion the end of the war.a wave of confederate surrenders followed.on april 14, just five days after lee's surrender, lincoln was assassinated.as a practical matter, the war ended with the may 26 surrender of the department of the trans-mississippi but the conclusion of the american civil war lacks a clear and precise historical end date.confederate ground forces continued surrendering past the may 26 surrender date until june 23.by the end of the war, much of the south's infrastructure was destroyed, especially its railroads.the confederacy collapsed, slavery was abolished, and four million enslaved black people were freed.the war-torn nation then entered the reconstruction era in an attempt to rebuild the country, bring the former confederate states back into the united states, and grant civil rights to freed slaves.the civil war is one of the most extensively studied and written about episodes in u.s. history.it remains the subject of cultural and historiographical debate.of particular interest is the persisting myth of the lost cause of the confederacy.the american civil war was among the first wars to use industrial warfare.","american civil war | commander | jefferson davis alfred moore scales | battles | battle of gettysburg battle of gettysburg | ispartofmilitaryconflict | american civil war","the confederates abandoned richmond, and on april 9, 1865, lee surrendered to grant following the battle of appomattox court house, setting in motion the end of the war."

"australia, officially the commonwealth of australia, is a sovereign country comprising the mainland of the australian continent, the island of tasmania, and numerous smaller islands.australia is the largest country by area in oceania and the world's sixth-largest country.australia is the oldest, flattest, and driest inhabited continent, with the least fertile soils.it is a megadiverse country, and its size gives it a wide variety of landscapes and climates, with deserts in the centre, tropical rainforests in the north-east, tropical savannas in the north, and mountain ranges in the south-east.the ancestors of aboriginal australians began arriving from south-east asia approximately 65,000 years ago, during the last ice age.arriving by sea, they settled the continent and had formed approximately 250 distinct language groups by the time of european settlement, maintaining some of the longest known continuing artistic and religious traditions in the world.australia's written history commenced with the european maritime exploration of australia.the dutch navigator willem janszoon was the first known european to reach australia, in 1606.in 1770, the british explorer james cook mapped and claimed the east coast of australia for great britain, and the first fleet of british ships arrived at sydney in 1788 to establish the penal colony of new south wales.the european population grew in subsequent decades, and by the end of the 1850s gold rush, most of the continent had been explored by european settlers and an additional five self-governing british colonies established.democratic parliaments were gradually established through the 19th century, culminating with a vote for the federation of the six colonies and foundation of the commonwealth of australia on 1 january 1901.this began a process of increasing autonomy from the united kingdom, highlighted by the statute of westminster adoption act 1942, and culminating in the australia act 1986.australia is a federal parliamentary constitutional monarchy, comprising six states and ten territories.australia's population of nearly 27 million is highly urbanised and heavily concentrated on the eastern seaboard.canberra is the nation's capital, while its most populous city and financial centre is sydney.the next four largest cities are melbourne, brisbane, perth, and adelaide.it is ethnically diverse and multicultural, the product of large-scale immigration, with almost half of the population having one parent born overseas.australia's abundant natural resources and well-developed international trade relations are crucial to the country's economy, which generates its income from various sources including services, mining exports, banking, manufacturing, agriculture and international education.australia ranks amongst the highest in the world for quality of life, health, education, economic freedom, civil liberties and political rights.australia has a highly developed market economy and one of the highest per capita incomes globally.australia is a regional power, and has the world's thirteenth-highest military expenditure.it is a member of international groupings including the united nations; the g20; the oecd; the world trade organization; asia-pacific economic cooperation; the pacific islands forum; the pacific community the commonwealth of nations; and the defence/security organisations anzus, aukus, and the five eyes.it is a major non-nato ally of the united states.several sixteenth century cartographers used the word australia on maps, but not to identify modern australia.when europeans began visiting and mapping australia in the 17th century, the name terra australiscode: lat promoted to code: la was naturally applied to the new territories.until the early 19th century, australia was best known as new holland, a name first applied by the dutch explorer abel tasman in 1644 (as nieuw-hollandcode: nld promoted to code: nl ) and subsequently anglicised.terra australiscode: lat promoted to code: la still saw occasional usage, such as in scientific texts.","austria | leadername | doris bures alfons gorbach |

asteroid belt, approximately 48 kilometers (30 miles) in diameter.it was discovered on 12 august 1923, by german astronomer karl reinmuth at heidelberg observatory in southern germany.the c-type asteroid has a rotation period of 9.5 hours.it was named after italian giuseppe piazzi, who discovered 1 ceres.it orbits the sun in the outer asteroid belt at a distance of 2.4–4.0 au once every 5 years and 8 months (2,063 days; semi-major axis of 3.17 au).its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.26 and an inclination of 21° with respect to the ecliptic.as no precoveries were taken, the body's observation arc begins with its first recorded observation on the night following its official discovery date.he was a director of both the palermo and naples observatories, and known for the compilation of the palermo catalogue, containing the precise position of 7,646 stars.in 1801, piazzi discovered 1 ceres, the first and largest asteroid and the main-belt's only dwarf planet.he is also honored by the lunar crater piazzi.the official naming citation was first mentioned in the names of the minor planets by paul herget in 1955 (h 96).the asteroid is the first of several early 'kilo-numbered' minor planets that were dedicated to renowned scientists or institutions including: 2000 herschel, for william herschel who discovered uranus 3000 leonardo, for the italian polymath of the renaissance, leonardo da vinci 4000 hipparchus, for the ancient greek astronomer hipparchusthese are followed by the asteroids 5000 iau (for the international astronomical union), 6000 united nations (for the united nations), 7000 curie (for the pioneers on radioactivity, marie and pierre curie), and 8000 isaac newton (for isaac newton), while 9000 hal (after hal 9000 from the movie 2001: a space odyssey) and 10000 myriostos (after the greek word for ten-thousandth, and to honor all astronomers) were named based on their direct numeric accordance.1000 piazzia was named as part of trio honoring the events surrounding the discovery of ceres in 1801.a person named carl friedrich gauss who computed the orbit of ceres, and heinrich wilhelm matthias olbers who found it again later that year after it has passed behind the sun.in honor of them, 1001 gaussia for gauss and 1002 olbersia for olbers were named along with 1000 piazzia.in the next few years only three more astronomical bodies were found between mars and jupiter, pallas, juno, and 4 vesta, however it would be 37 years before another asteroid was found, 5 astraea in 1845.by 1868, 100 asteroids had been discovered, however it would not be until 1921 that the 1000th was discovered.the rate accelerated in the 20th century and the ten thousandth would be discovered in 1989.the lightcurve gave a rotation period of 9.47±0.01 hours with a brightness variation of 0.45 magnitude (u=3).a second lightcurve was obtained by astronomer rené roy in march 2007, rendering a period of 9.2±0.2 hours and an amplitude of 0.2 magnitude (u=2).according to the space-based surveys carried out by the infrared astronomical satellite iras, the japanese akari satellite and the neowise mission of nasa's wide-field infrared survey

paramount theatre and the gruenewald house.the population was 54,788 at the 2020 census.conner later sold the ground to john and sarah berry, who donated 32 acres (13 ha) of their land to madison county on the condition that the county seat be moved from pendleton to anderson.john berry laid out the first plat of anderson on november 7, 1827.in 1828 the seat of justice was moved from pendleton to anderson.the city is named for chief william 'adam' anderson, whose mother was lenape and whose father was of swedish descent.chief anderson's name in lenape was kikthawenund, meaning 'creaking boughs'.the lenape village was known as 'anderson's town', though the moravian missionaries called it 'the heathen town four miles away'.anderson was also known as 'andersonton' before being formally organized as anderson.introduction of internal improvements by the mammoth internal improvement act caused a growth in the population in 1837.in december 1838, anderson was incorporated as a town with 350 inhabitants.the central canal, a branch of the wabash and erie canal, was planned to come through anderson.work continued on the canal during 1838 and the beginning of 1839, but the work was soon suspended by the state following effects of the panic of 1837.the town again became a sleepy village until 1849, when it was incorporated a second time as a town.many new commercial ventures located around the courthouse square.this incorporation was short-lived, and anderson once again went back to village status in 1852.however, with the completion of the indianapolis bellefontaine railroad, as well as their station in 1852, anderson burst to life.the third incorporation of anderson as a town occurred on june 9, 1853.the population continued to increase.on august 28, 1865, with a population of nearly 1,300 people, anderson was incorporated as a city.between 1853 and the late 19th century, twenty industries of various sizes located there.on march 31, 1887, natural gas was discovered in anderson.as the indiana gas boom began, this discovery led new businesses that could use natural gas, such as glass-making, to move to the city.anderson grew to such proportions that a cincinnati newspaper editor labeled the city 'the pittsburgh on white river'.other appellations were 'queen city of the gas belt' and (because of the vulcanizing and rubber tire manufacturing business) 'puncture proof city'.in 1897 the interurban railroad was born in anderson.charles henry, a large stock holder, coined the term 'interurban' in 1893.it continued to operate until 1941.the year 1912 spelled disaster for anderson: the natural gas ran out.the city had left its gas-powered lights on day and night, and there are stories of a pocket of natural gas being lit in the river and burning for a prolonged period for the spectacle of it.the result of the loss of natural gas was that several factories moved out.the whole city slowed down.the commercial club (formed on november 18, 1905) was the forerunner of the present chamber of commerce.this club persuaded the remy brothers to stay in anderson and others to locate there.for decades, delco remy and guide lamp (later fisher guide), which

the union army successfully repelled the confederate invasion but suffered heavier casualties and failed to defeat lee's army outright.however, it was a significant turning point in the war in favor of the union due in large part to its political ramifications: the battle's result gave lincoln the political confidence to issue the emancipation proclamation, declaring all 'persons held as slaves within any state, or designated part of a state, the people whereof shall then be in rebellion,' as of the first of the following year, shall be 'forever free.'this effectively discouraged the british and french governments from recognizing the confederacy, as neither power wished to give the appearance of supporting slavery.emboldened by success, the confederate leadership intended to take the war into enemy territory.lee's invasion of maryland was intended to run simultaneously with an invasion of kentucky by the armies of braxton bragg and edmund kirby smith.it was also necessary for logistical reasons, as northern virginia's farms had been stripped bare of food.based on events such as the baltimore riots in the spring of 1861 and the fact that president lincoln had to pass through the city in disguise en route to his inauguration, confederate leaders assumed that maryland would welcome the confederate forces warmly.they sang the tune 'maryland, my maryland!'as they marched, but by the fall of 1862 pro-union sentiment was winning out, especially in the western parts of the state.civilians generally hid inside their houses as lee's army passed through their towns, or watched in cold silence, while the army of the potomac was cheered and encouraged.","battle of antietam | commander | robert e lee battle of antietam | ispartofmilitaryconflict | american civil war aaron s daggett | battles | battle of antietam","the battle of antietam ( an-tee-təm), or battle of sharpsburg particularly in the southern united states, was a battle of the american civil war fought on september 17, 1862, between confederate gen. robert e. lee's army of northern virginia and union gen. george b. mcclellan's army of the potomac near sharpsburg, maryland, and antietam creek.after pursuing confederate gen. robert e. lee into maryland, maj. gen. george b. mcclellan of the union army launched attacks against lee's army who were in defensive positions behind antietam creek.in spite of crippling casualties, lee continued to skirmish with mcclellan throughout september 18, while removing his battered army south of the potomac river.mcclellan successfully turned lee's invasion back, making the battle a union victory, but president abraham lincoln, unhappy with mcclellan's general pattern of overcaution and his failure to pursue the retreating lee, relieved mcclellan of command in november.from a tactical standpoint, the battle was somewhat inconclusive;

virginia.the battle was tactically inconclusive, as grant disengaged and continued his offensive.grant attempted to move quickly through the dense underbrush of the wilderness of spotsylvania, but lee launched two of his corps on parallel roads to intercept him.on the morning of may 5, the union v corps under major general gouverneur k. warren attacked the confederate second corps, commanded by lieutenant general richard s. ewell, on the orange turnpike.that afternoon the third corps, commanded by lieutenant general a. p. hill, encountered brigadier general george w. getty's division (vi corps) and major general winfield s. hancock's ii corps on the orange plank road.fighting, which ended for the evening because of darkness, was fierce but inconclusive as both sides attempted to maneuver in the dense woods.at dawn on may 6, hancock attacked along the plank road, driving hill's corps back in confusion, but the first corps of lieutenant general james longstreet arrived in time to prevent the collapse of the confederate right flank.longstreet followed up with a surprise flanking attack from an unfinished railroad bed that drove hancock's men back, but the momentum was lost

tecumseh sherman succeeded grant in command of most of the western armies.grant believed that the eastern and western union armies were too uncoordinated in their actions, and that the previous practice of conquering and guarding new territories required too many resources.grant's new strategy was to attack with all forces at the same time, making it difficult for the confederates to transfer forces from one battlefront to another.his objective was to destroy the confederate armies rather than conquering territory.the two largest confederate armies became the two major targets,

"the atlantic ocean is the second-largest of the world's five oceans, with an area of about 85,133,000 km2 (32,870,000 sq mi).it covers approximately 20% of earth's surface and about 29% of its water surface area.it is known to separate the 'old world' of africa, europe, and asia from the 'new world' of the americas in the european perception of the world.through its separation from africa, europe, and asia from the americas, the atlantic ocean has played a central role in the development of human society, globalization, and the histories of many nations.while the norse were the first known humans to cross the atlantic, it was the 1492 expedition of christopher columbus that proved to be the most consequential.columbus's expedition ushered in an age of exploration and colonization of the americas by european powers, most notably spain, france, portugal, and the united kingdom.from the 16th to 19th centuries, the atlantic ocean was the center of both an eponymous slave trade and the columbian exchange while occasionally hosting naval battles.such naval battles, as well as growing trade from regional american powers like the united states and brazil, both increased in degree during the 20th century, and while no major military conflicts took place in the atlantic in the present 21st century, the ocean remains a core component of trade across the world.the atlantic ocean occupies an elongated, s-shaped basin extending longitudinally between europe and africa to the east, and north and south america to the west.as one component of the interconnected world ocean, it is connected in the north to the arctic ocean, to the pacific ocean in the southwest, the indian ocean in the southeast, and the southern ocean in the south (other definitions describe the atlantic as extending southward to antarctica).the atlantic ocean is divided in two parts, by the equatorial counter current, with the north(ern) atlantic ocean and the south(ern) atlantic ocean split at about 8°n.a. r. 1.211): atlantikôi pelágei (greek: ἀτλαντικῷ πελάγει; english: 'the atlantic sea'; etym.'sea of atlas') and in the histories of herodotus around 450 bc (hdt.1.202.4): atlantis thalassa (greek: ἀτλαντὶς θάλασσα; english: 'sea of atlas' or 'the atlantic sea') where the name refers to 'the sea beyond the pillars of heracles' which is said to be part of the sea that surrounds all land.in these uses, the name refers to atlas, the titan in greek mythology, who supported the heavens and who later appeared as a frontispiece in medieval maps and also lent his name to modern atlases.on the other hand, to early greek sailors and in ancient greek mythological literature such as the iliad and the odyssey, this all-encompassing ocean was instead known as oceanus, the gigantic river that encircled the world; in contrast to the enclosed seas well known to the greeks: the mediterranean and the black sea.in contrast, the term 'atlantic' originally referred specifically to the atlas mountains in morocco and the sea off the strait of gibraltar and the north african coast.the greek word thalassa has been reused by scientists for the huge panthalassa ocean that surrounded the supercontinent pangaea hundreds of millions of years ago.the term 'aethiopian ocean', derived from ancient ethiopia, was applied to the southern atlantic as late as the mid-19th century.during the age of discovery, the atlantic was also known to english cartographers as the great western ocean.the pond is a term often used by british and american speakers in reference to the northern atlantic ocean, as a form of meiosis, or ironic understatement.it is used mostly when referring to events or circumstances 'on this side of the pond' or 'on the other side of the pond', rather than to discuss the ocean itself.","atlanta | country | united states united states | ethnicgroup | native americans in the united states atlanta | ispartof | georgia us state","columbus's expedition ushered in an age of exploration and colonization of the americas by european powers, most notably spain, france, portugal, and the united kingdom.such naval battles, as well as growing trade from regional american powers like the united states and brazil, both increased in degree during the 20th century, and while no major military conflicts took place in the atlantic in the present 21st century, the ocean remains a core component of trade across the world."

club that had its best days before world war ii, when it participated in the german championship finals on several occasions.later the club participated in the gauliga mitte.after world war ii, all sports clubs in the soviet occupation zone were dissolved and a number of smaller clubs were created, which at first competed at a local and regional level.in 1945 players from the disbanded clubs magdeburger sc prussia 1899 and cricket viktoria magdeburg formed sportgruppe (sg) sudenburg.this club and sg lemsdorf came together as the sports club bsg eintracht sudenburg, which in turn merged with sag krupp gruson in 1950.the next year the club was renamed bsg stahl magdeburg, and then in 1952, became bsg motor mitte magdeburg.in 1957 the football department of motor mitte was moved to sc aufbau magdeburg, a political decision with the goal of achieving higher standards of performance.in 1965, the football department was again broken out of sc aufbau magdeburg and a pure football club was created, 1.fc magdeburg.this was part of a general – again politically motivated – movement in east germany towards football-only clubs with the goal of achieving higher standards.ten dedicated

well as the home and away legs), but went out on a coin toss.legend reports that the coin first stuck upright in the muddy ground, and only the second toss brought about a decision.sc aufbau magdeburg finished mid-table again in the 1964–65 season and managed to defend their cup title as the first team in east german football ever, beating fc carl zeiss jena 2–1 in the final in berlin.however, the 1965–66 season, when the football department of sc aufbau magdeburg was reorganized into football club 1.fc magdeburg, ended in disaster: the club finished last in the table and was relegated to the second-tier ddr-liga.however, in the uefa cup winners' cup, 1.fc magdeburg managed to reach the quarter final, eventually going out against defending champions west ham united featuring stars such as bobby moore and geoff hurst.with their new manager heinz krügel, 1.fc magdeburg were immediately repromoted and finished third in 1968 and 1969.with their third win of the fdgb-pokal in 1969 the club

under the japanese empire from 1941 to 1945 during the pacific war.the colonial period began with the british occupation of hong kong island in 1841, during the first opium war between the british and the qing dynasty.the qing had wanted to enforce its prohibition of opium importation within the dynasty that was being exported mostly from british india, as it was causing widespread addiction among its populace.the island was ceded to britain by the treaty of nanking, ratified by the daoguang emperor in the aftermath of the war of 1842.it was established as a crown colony in 1843.in 1860, the british took the opportunity to expand the colony with the addition of the kowloon peninsula after the second opium war, while the qing was embroiled in handling the taiping rebellion.with the qing further weakened after the first sino-japanese war, hong kong's territory was further extended in 1898 when the british obtained a 99-year lease of the new territories.although the qing dynasty had to cede hong kong island and kowloon in perpetuity as per the treaty, the leased new territories comprised 86.2% of the colony and more than half of the entire colony's population.with the lease nearing its end during the late 20th century, britain did not see any viable way to administer the colony by dividing it, whilst the people's republic of china (prc) would not consider extending the lease or allow continued british administration thereafter.with the signing of the sino-british joint declaration in 1984, which stated that the economic and social systems in hong kong would remain relatively unchanged for 50 years, the british government agreed to transfer the entire territory to china upon the expiration of the new territories lease in 1997 – with hong kong becoming a special administrative region (sar) until at least 2047.viceroy lin zexu took on the task of suppressing the opium trade.in march 1839, he became special imperial commissioner in canton, where he ordered the foreign traders to surrender their opium stock.he confined the british to the canton factories and cut off their supplies.chief superintendent of trade, charles elliot, complied with lin's demands to secure a safe exit for the british, with the costs involved to be resolved between the two governments.when elliot promised that the british government would pay for their opium stock, the merchants surrendered their 20,283 chests of opium, which were destroyed in public.in september 1839, the british cabinet decided that the chinese should be made to pay for the destruction of british property, either by the threat or use of force.an expeditionary force was placed under elliot and his cousin, rear-admiral george elliot, as joint plenipotentiaries in 1840.foreign secretary lord palmerston stressed to the chinese government that the british government did not question china's right to prohibit opium, but it objected to the way this was handled.he viewed the sudden strict enforcement as laying a trap for the foreign traders, and the confinement of the british with supplies cut off was tantamount to starving them into submission or death.he instructed the elliot cousins to occupy one of the chusan islands in the hangzhou bay delta across from shanghai, then to present a letter from himself to a chinese official for the emperor of china, then to proceed to the gulf of bohai for a treaty, and if the chinese resisted, then to blockade the key ports of the yangtze and yellow rivers.","british hong kong | representative | chris patten william anders | was a crew member of | apollo

"a.c. cesena, commonly referred to as cesena (italian pronunciation: [tʃeˈzɛːna]), was an italian football club based in cesena, emilia-romagna.the club spent most of its history in professional leagues such as serie a and serie b, but went bankrupt and folded in 2018.another club from cesena, a.s.d.romagna centro cesena, claims to be the bankrupted club's successor and in 2019 changed its name to 'cesena f.c.'.the club was formed in 1940 and won its first promotion to serie a in 1973.since then, the club have been in serie a for a total of 13 seasons, their best achievement coming in 1976 with a sixth-placed finish and a short run in the following season's uefa cup.the other four promotions to serie a were achieved in 1981, 1987, 2010 (after two consecutive promotions — from the third league (lega pro) in 2009 and from serie b in 2010, both won on the final day of the season) and 2014.with players such as pierluigi cera and gianluigi savoldi, the club held its own and finished a respectable 11th place in their debut season, repeating that finish the following year.in the 1975–76 season, cesena surprised italy by finishing sixth and subsequently qualifying for the uefa cup.the glory was short-lived and they would be relegated the next year.a second promotion to serie a followed in 1981 and finished a respectable 10th before being relegated once more in 1983, staying in serie b for four years.after winning a play-off, they were back in serie a for 1987–88 and enjoyed a four-year stay, being obdurate enough to just avoid relegation in this time.after relegation in 1991, cesena had another chance to return to serie a in 1994.with players such as alessandro teodorani, emiliano salvetti, luigi piangerelli, aldo dolcetti, and dario hübner, this was a team of considerable ability.they finished level on points with padova, however, and lost a promotion play-off which would be a bitter blow for the club, who would suffer relegation to serie c1 in 1997.whilst promotion followed, a relegation play-off against pistoiese in 2000 would see them condemned to a four-year stay in the third division.in the 2005–06 serie b, cesena surprisingly emerged as contenders for promotion to serie a, ending in sixth place and being therefore qualified for the promotion play-offs.they escaped relegation the following season, but not in 2007–08.cesena's first campaign in serie c1, now rebranded lega pro prima divisione, started with former foligno boss pierpaolo bisoli as new head coach.throughout the season, cesena quickly emerged as major contenders for direct promotion, and managed to take first place in the league on week 33, with only one game remaining and a two-point advantage to challengers pro patria.on the final week of the season, cesena's 0–0 draw with verona, coupled with pro patria's 0–0 draw with padova, gave the bianconeri the league title and direct promotion back to serie b, after only one season in the italian third tier.cesena went to as 3rd in round 33, one point behind brescia in the 2009–10 season.cesena earned their second consecutive promotion after a 1–0 victory at piacenza and brescia's 2–1 loss in padua against

"auburn is a city in king county, washington, united states (with a small portion crossing into neighboring pierce county).the population was 87,256 at the 2020 census.auburn is a suburb in the seattle metropolitan area, and is currently ranked as the 14th largest city in the state of washington.auburn is bordered by the cities of federal way, pacific, and algona to the west, sumner to the south, kent to the north, and unincorporated king county to the east.the muckleshoot indian reservation lies to the south and southeast.several settler families arrived in the 1860s, including levi ballard, who set up a homestead between the green and white rivers.ballard filed for a plat to establish a town in february 1886, naming it slaughter for an officer slain during the indian wars in 1855.slaughter was incorporated on june 13, 1891, but its name was changed two years later to auburn on february 21, 1893, by an action of the state legislature.newer residents had disliked the name and its connection to the word 'slaughter', especially after the town's hotel was named the slaughter house.the name auburn was chosen in honor of auburn, new york, for the area's shared reliance on hops farming.the white and green rivers have been a major part of the history and culture of auburn since the area was settled with multiple locations in the city being named after either of the two rivers.frequent flooding from the rivers caused numerous problems for the people living in the community with one outcome being the creation of mountain view cemetery over on one of the hills overlooking the valley.it was not until the completion of the mud mountain dam and the howard a. hanson dam, along the white river and green river respectively, that the flooding would cease and allow the city to grow without the aforementioned hurdle impeding the growth.in 1917 the city, in response to the growing of the japanese community, donated some of the land in pioneer cemetery to the white river buddhist church.a little over ten years later, rev.giryo takemura, minister of the church at the time, and his future son-in-law, chiyokichi natsuhara, raised money to replace the old wooden sticks and columns that had been in use as gravestones at the cemetery with more durable concrete markers.the interwar period saw several japanese-american baseball teams from the area compete in the courier league with the white river all-stars enjoying particularly large success winning four of the july 4th tournaments.in 1930 a japanese bath house was constructed outside of neely mansion by the then current tenants.the onset of the second world war saw the japanese-american community of auburn become seen with largely unwarranted distrust by many of the white residents of auburn.this, combined with a larger countrywide japanese focused xenophobia, led to the city's japanese-american population being relocated to internment camps.after the war, of about 300 japanese families living in auburn only around twenty five returned.in 2008, auburn annexed the west hill and lea hill neighborhoods of unincorporated king county, adding 15,000 residents and expanding its land area by 26 percent.historically, the stuck river ran through the settlement of stuck, which is now a small pocket of unincorporated king county within southern auburn.in 1906, the flow of the white river was diverted into the stuck's channel near today's game farm park.references to the stuck river still appear in some property legal descriptions and place names, e.g.stuck river drive, within auburn, but today it is essentially indistinguishable from the southern white river.","auburn washington | ispartof | washington state washington state | capital | olympia washington washington state | country | united states","auburn is a city in king county, washington, united states (with a small portion crossing into neighboring pierce county).auburn is a suburb in the seattle metropolitan area, and is currently ranked as the 14th largest city in the state of washington."

the company wanted to distance itself from the club's local reputation.the railroad company, decided to separate the ' foot-ball ' section of the team from the company on saturday 13 december 1913.that is when peñarol was founded.the following day it was the first time a ' clasico ' was officially played between nacional and peñarol.curcc kept playing football in the amateurism until it was dissolved on 22 january 1915 and donated all their trophies to the british hospital of montevideo, not to peñarol.peñarol === on 12 march 1914, peñarol replaced curcc's spot in the uruguayan football league after its foundation in 1913.a request submitted to the uruguayan football league two days later and approved the following day.during its first years peñarol was not successful, although a new stadium (las acacias) opened on 19 may 1916.the club won its first two league titles in 1918 and 1920.in november 1922 the asociación uruguaya de fútbol (auf) disqualified peñarol because the club played an exhibition game with racing, an argentine club affiliated with asociación amateurs de football (a dissident association established in 1919 that rivalized with the official entity, afa).","peñarol | league | uruguayan primera división abel hernández | youthclub | peñarol hull city afc | manager | steve bruce abel hernández | club | hull city afc","club atlético peñarol (spanish pronunciation: [kluβ aˈtletiko peɲaˈɾol] (listen);

"103 colmore row is a 108-metre tall, 26-storey commercial office skyscraper located on colmore row, birmingham, england.completed in 2021, this building replaced the former natwest tower designed by john madin and completed in 1975.in 2008, a plan by then owners british land to demolish natwest tower and replace it with a taller modern equivalent was approved.this plan never progressed and in 2015 the building passed to the developer sterling property ventures, who successfully applied to have the building demolished.construction of the new tower began in june 2019 and completed in 2021.103 colmore row is the tallest office building in the united kingdom outside london to be constructed since the completion of alpha tower, also in birmingham, in 1973.designed by john madin, it is of the brutalist style, contrasting the traditional victorian architectural styles in the immediate area.although, the pre-cast concrete panels on the exterior, which were common on commercial buildings of the time, rather than in-situ concrete did make the building differ from classic brutalism.designs for the building were first publicised in 1964 and it was remarked that it had drawn inspiration from the university of pittsburgh by louis kahn.the designs showed a two-storey banking hall with a rectangular tower with horizontal ribbon windows.it also showed a service tower facing on to newhall street.this design differed significantly to the one that was approved by birmingham city council.the scheme also included a five-storey office block to the west of the site that was separated from it by an l-shaped courtyard.this office block was later reclad and increased to eight storeys in 1996-7 so that it reads as a separate building.the entire scheme was named the 'colmore centre'.the first phase of the scheme, which consisted of the construction of the banking hall, was completed in 1969.construction of the tower began in 1973 and was completed three years later at a total cost of £3.5 million.the building was constructed so that it was not solely occupied by the national westminster bank, but could also be let to tenants so that the bank could maximise the profitability of the site.however, the building proved difficult to let and was never fully occupied; the only major corporation to take office space in the tower was eversheds.the building has been vacant since 2003.there were numerous interesting features, including the original aluminium-cast banking hall doors, created and made by henry haig (1930 – 6 december 2007), who was an english abstract artist, painter and sculptor but notable predominantly for his stained glass work, which consisted of an abstract triangle design based on the natwest logo and were painted to resemble bronze.the banking hall itself had a coffered ceiling of plasterboard covered in gold leaf and travertine marble floors and skirtings.the exterior was covered in abstract plaster murals and bronze matt ceramic tiles.the lift shaft and two ventilation towers were constructed using brick.the structure was constructed of precast concrete with waffle concrete floor slabs.there were four plant floors at the top of the tower and 100 car park spaces in a basement car park that became disused upon the discovery of asbestos.the office block was accessed via a stainless steel surround doorway on newhall street, where the land began to drop, exposing the ventilation grills for the basement.the entrance here appeared to be of a later date to the rest of the building.the office block had a service core at the centre of each floor, consisting of a large service duct, lavatories, four lift shafts and staircase.","103 colmore row | location | birmingham 103 colmore row | completiondate | 1976 103 colmore row | buildingstartdate | 1973 103 colmore row | floorcount | 23","103 colmore row is a 108-metre tall, 26-storey commercial office skyscraper located on colmore row, birmingham, england.103 colmore row is the tallest office building in the united kingdom outside london to be constructed since the completion of alpha tower, also in birmingham, in 1973."

"sugo all'amatriciana (italian pronunciation: [ˈsuːɡo allamatriˈtʃaːna]), or alla matriciana (in romanesco dialect), also known as salsa all'amatriciana, is a traditional italian pasta sauce based on guanciale (cured pork cheek), pecorino romano cheese, tomato, and, in some variations, onion.originating from the town of amatrice (in the mountainous province of rieti of lazio region), the amatriciana is one of the best known pasta sauces in present-day roman and italian cuisine.the italian government has named it a traditional agro-alimentary product of lazio and amatriciana tradizionale is registered as a traditional speciality guaranteed in the eu and the uk.in papal rome, the grici were sellers of common edible foods, who got this name because many of them came from valtellina, at that time a possession of the swiss canton of grigioni.according to another hypothesis, the name originates from the hamlet of grisciano, in the comune of accumoli, near amatrice.the sauce—nowadays named also amatriciana bianca—was, and still is, prepared with guanciale (cured pork cheek) and grated pecorino romano.at some point, a little olive oil was added to the recipe.in the 1960s, amatriciana sauce was still prepared in this way in amatrice itself.the invention of the first tomato sauces (and the likely earliest date for the introduction of tomato in the gricia, creating amatriciana) dates back to the late 18th century.tomatoes originated from the aztecs and incas, and were introduced to europe through the columbian exchange via spain.the first written record of pasta with tomato sauce can be found in the 1790 cookbook l'apicio moderno by roman chef francesco leonardi.the amatriciana recipe became increasingly famous in rome over the 19th and early 20th centuries, due to the centuries-old connection between rome and amatrice.the recipe was extremely well received and rapidly went on to become a classic of roman cuisine, even though it originated elsewhere.the name of the dish in the romanesco dialect eventually became matriciana due to the apheresis typical of this dialect.while tomato-less gricia is still prepared in central italy, it is the tomato-enriched amatriciana that is better known throughout italy and exported everywhere.while in amatrice the dish is prepared with spaghetti, the use of bucatini has become extremely common in rome and is now prevalent.other types of dry pasta (particularly rigatoni) are also used, whereas fresh pasta is generally avoided.in amatrice, use of guanciale and tomato is typical.onion is not favoured, although it is shown in the classical handbooks of roman cuisine.for frying, olive oil is most commonly used, but strutto (canned pork lard) is used as well.in amatrice, the local pecorino is sometimes used as cheese.for cheese either pecorino romano or amatrice's pecorino (from the monti sibillini or monti della laga areas) can be used.the addition of black pepper or chili pepper is common.vie piazze e ville di roma nel loro valore storico e topografico (in italian).roma: libreria di scienze e lettere.boni, ada (1983) [1930].la cucina romana (in italian).roma: newton compton editori.gosetti della salda, anna (1967).le ricette regionali italiane (in italian).milano: solares.carnacina, luigi; buonassisi, vincenzo (1975).roma in cucina (in italian).milano: giunti martello.faccioli, emilio (1987).l'arte della cucina in italia (in italian).milano: einaudi.ravaro, fernando (2005).dizionario romanesco (in italian).roma: newton compton.isbn 9788854117921.","amatriciana sauce | region | lazio amatriciana sauce | country | italy amatriciana sauce | ingredient | guanciale","sugo all'amatriciana (italian pronunciation: [ˈsuːɡo allamatriˈtʃaːna]), or alla matriciana (in romanesco dialect), also known as salsa all'amatriciana, is a traditional italian pasta sauce based on guanciale (cured pork cheek), pecorino romano cheese, tomato, and, in some variations, onion.originating from the town of amatrice (in the mountainous province of rieti of lazio region), the amatriciana is one of the best known pasta sauces in present-day roman and italian cuisine.the italian government has named it a traditional agro-alimentary product of lazio and amatriciana tradizionale is registered as a traditional speciality guaranteed in the eu and the uk.the sauce—nowadays named also amatriciana bianca—was, and still is, prepared with guanciale (cured pork cheek) and grated pecorino romano.the name of the dish in the romanesco dialect eventually became matriciana due to the apheresis typical of this dialect.while tomato-less gricia is still prepared in central italy, it is the tomato-enriched amatriciana that is better known throughout italy and exported everywhere."

"adare manor is a manor house located on the banks of the river maigue in the village of adare, county limerick, ireland, the former seat of the earl of dunraven and mount-earl.the present house was built in the early 19th century, though retaining some of the walls of the 17th-century structure.it is now the adare manor hotel & golf resort, a luxury hotel, and contains the michelin-starred oak room restaurant.in 1226, king henry iii gave a grant to justiciary of ireland geoffroi de morreis (de marisco) to hold an eight-day annual fair following the feast of st. james at his manor of adare.the lands subsequently were granted to the earls of kildare, members of the welsh-norman fitzgerald family who came to ireland in 1169.in 1536, the act of attainder was passed against thomas fitzgerald, 10th earl of kildare, whose lands, castles and manors were forfeited to the crown.in a letter dated 24 march 1547, the boy king edward vi granted the earls of desmond 'the manors and dominions of croom and adare, in the county of limerick, to hold for life.'the grant was short lived; the desmond rebellions brought control of the lands to the st. leger family.for the next century, the lands passed from 10 families: st. leger, zouch, gold, rigges, wallop, norreis (norris), jephson, evans, ormesby (ormsby), and then quin.thady quin, esq.(1645–1726) of gortfadda, county leitrim, purchased the moiety in 1669 and continued to add surrounding land through 1702.he received the last land grant for adare, on 16 december 1684, to hold the lands for a thousand years, 'paying to gilbert ormsby and his heirs the rent of £230.'the earliest section of the first manor house was presumably a square or oblong tower, likely erected by thady quin at the end of the 17th century.the deed of conveyance, dated 23 february 1721, transferred the following land to thady's eldest son, valentine quin: the estate of adare extended northwards nearly to the shannon, and comprehended a considerable portion of the parishes of kildimo and chapelrussell, and the north-western section of adare situate in the barony of coshma, with a portion of drehidtarsna, and parts of kilkeedy and croom, lying in the barony of pubblebrien.the manor of tobernea was situate in the south-eastern part of the county, embracing the extreme southern portion of the barony of coshma, with the adjacent part of coshlea, and contained a considerable part of the parishes of effin, ballingarry, and kilbreedy minor valentine quin was the grandfather of valentine richard quin (1752–1824), the first earl of dunraven.valentine richard quin, mp for kilmallock (1799–1800), was created a baronet of great britain in 1781 and was raised to the peerage in 1800 as baron adare.he was advanced to a viscountcy in 1816 as viscount mount earl and became viscount adare and the first earl of dunraven and mount-earl on 5 february 1822.he chose the title of dunraven in honour of his daughter-in-law caroline wyndham, daughter and heiress of thomas wyndham of dunraven castle, who in 1810 had married his eldest son and heir, windham henry quin.around 1785, the first earl of dunraven made significant alterations to adare manor, raising more walls and changing the entrance from the south front to the northwest side.in 1786, it was described as 'a very noble structure with fine and extensive demesnes.'valentine richard quin's earldom lasted only two years; upon his death to 1824 the title passed to windham henry quin, the second earl of dunraven and mount-earl.the new earl, who was suffering from gout and confined indoors, rebuilt his home, turning it from a classic georgian mansion into a large tudor revival manor.","adare manor | location | adare county limerick | ispartof | munster adare manor | location | county limerick county limerick | governmenttype | limerick city and county council","adare manor is a manor house located on the banks of the river maigue in the village of adare, county limerick, ireland, the former seat of the earl of dunraven and mount-earl.it is now the adare manor hotel & golf resort, a luxury hotel, and contains the michelin-starred oak room restaurant.in 1226, king henry iii gave a grant to justiciary of ireland geoffroi de morreis (de marisco) to hold an eight-day annual fair following the feast of st. james at his manor of adare.the lands subsequently were granted to the earls of kildare, members of the welsh-norman fitzgerald family who came to ireland in 1169.in a letter dated 24 march 1547, the boy king edward vi granted the earls of desmond 'the manors and dominions of croom and adare, in the county of limerick, to hold for life.'(1645–1726) of gortfadda, county leitrim, purchased the moiety in 1669 and continued to add surrounding land through 1702.he received the last land grant for adare, on 16 december 1684, to hold the lands for a thousand years, 'paying to gilbert ormsby and his heirs the rent of £230.'the earliest section of the first manor house was presumably a square or oblong tower, likely erected by thady quin at the end of the 17th century.the deed of conveyance, dated 23 february 1721, transferred the following land to thady's eldest son, valentine quin: the estate of adare extended northwards nearly to the shannon, and comprehended a considerable portion of the parishes of kildimo and chapelrussell, and the north-western section of adare situate in the barony of coshma, with a portion of drehidtarsna, and parts of kilkeedy and croom, lying in the barony of pubblebrien.the manor of tobernea was situate in the south-eastern part of the county, embracing the extreme southern portion of the barony of coshma, with the adjacent part of coshlea, and contained a considerable part of the parishes of effin, ballingarry, and kilbreedy minor valentine quin was the grandfather of valentine richard quin (1752–1824), the first earl of dunraven.valentine richard quin, mp for kilmallock (1799–1800), was created a baronet of great britain in 1781 and was raised to the peerage in 1800 as baron adare.he was advanced to a viscountcy in 1816 as viscount mount earl and became viscount adare and the first earl of dunraven and mount-earl on 5 february 1822.around 1785, the first earl of dunraven made significant alterations to adare manor, raising more walls and changing the entrance from the south front to the northwest side."

"asilomar conference grounds is a conference center built for the young women's christian association (ywca).it is located east of what was known as moss beach on the western tip of the monterey peninsula in pacific grove, california.between 1913 and 1929 architect julia morgan designed and built 16 of the buildings on the property, of which 11 are still standing.in 1956 it became part of the state division of beaches and parks of california's department of natural resources, and moss beach was renamed asilomar state beach.asilomar is a derivation of the spanish phrase asilo al mar, meaning asylum or refuge by the sea.it is the native homeland of the rumsen ohlone people.probably because they had outgrown the space, and because the ywca had a goal of purchasing grounds, phoebe apperson hearst hosted the 1912 conference at her hacienda in pleasanton, california, with all proceeds of that year's conference going toward the purchase of a permanent home.a resulting ywca committee persuaded the pacific improvement company of pacific grove, california to deed 30 acres (120,000 m2) to the ywca in 1912.in early 1913 the ywca announced that julia morgan, already at work on the oakland ywca building, would design the campgrounds.construction began in the spring of 1913 and in august 1913 the social hall and the lodging longhouses opened with nearly 300 girls in attendance.merrill hall, the last of morgan's designs for asilomar, was dedicated in 1928.several other prominent california women including ellen browning scripps, mrs. warren olney jr. and mary sroufe merrill were involved in the creation of the retreat.the winning entry in the naming contest was by helen salisbury, a stanford student.her entry created a portmanteau from two spanish words: asilo and mar.the state of california acquired asilomar in 1956.john carl warnecke designed 7 new buildings to expand the grounds.asilomar was declared a national historic landmark in 1987 for its role in women's recreation, the development of the ywca, and the resort nature of nearby monterey, california.it is currently used primarily as a conference center for hire but is also open to individual lodging guests and is frequently used for family reunions and other social events.the grounds are open to the public.from 1956 until 1994 several non-profit corporations managed the conference grounds in cooperation with california state parks.delaware north companies parks and resorts operated the park from 1997 to 2007 under a concessionaire agreement.aramark won a new 20-year operating contract in january 2009 and began operations there in september of that year.to preserve the rustic atmosphere of the resort, there are no telephones or televisions in any of the rooms.however, wi-fi has recently been installed throughout the property.in october, 2012 construction began to improve asilomar's accessibility under americans with disabilities guidelines.this includes replacement of several old, worn, and rugged asphalt pathways and the construction of new paths made of brick pavers.construction work continued into 2014 and included modifications to improve interior access to several rooms as well as the exterior improvements.","asilomar conference grounds | location | pacific grove california asilomar conference grounds | added to the national register of historic places | 1987-02-27 asilomar conference grounds | referencenumber in the national register of historic places | 87000823 asilomar conference grounds | yearofconstruction | 1913","in 1956 it became part of the state division of beaches and parks of california's department of natural resources, and moss beach was renamed asilomar state beach.probably because they had outgrown the space, and because the ywca had a goal of purchasing grounds, phoebe apperson hearst hosted the 1912 conference at her hacienda in pleasanton, california, with all proceeds of that year's conference going toward the purchase of a permanent home.in early 1913 the ywca announced that julia morgan, already at work on the oakland ywca building, would design the campgrounds.the state of california acquired asilomar in 1956.john carl warnecke designed 7 new buildings to expand the grounds.asilomar was declared a national historic landmark in 1987 for its role in women's recreation, the development of the ywca, and the resort nature of nearby monterey, california.from 1956 until 1994 several non-profit corporations managed the conference grounds in cooperation with california state parks."

besides, substance-use dependences are severe stages of substance-use addictions (i.e.mental disorders) involving withdrawal issues.in the icd-11, substance-use dependences is a synonym of substance-use addictions (i.e.neuropsychological symptoms) that can but not necessarily involve withdrawal issues.this form of addiction changes brain circuitry such that the brain's reward system is compromised, causing functional consequences for stress management and self-control.damage to the functions of the organs involved can persist throughout a lifetime and cause death if untreated.substances involved with drug addiction include alcohol, nicotine, marijuana, opioids, cocaine, amphetamines, and even foods with high fat and sugar content.addictions can begin experimentally in social contexts and can arise from the use of prescribed medications or a variety of other measures.drug addiction has been shown to work in phenomenological, conditioning (operant and classical), cognitive models, and the cue reactivity model.however, no one model completely illustrates substance abuse.risk factors for addiction include: aggressive behavior (particularly in childhood) availability of substance community economic status experimentation epigenetics impulsivity (attentional, motor, or non-planning) lack of parental supervision lack of peer refusal skills mental disorders method substance is taken usage of substance in youth === food addiction === the diagnostic criteria for food or eating addiction has not been categorized or defined in references such as the diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders (dsm or dsm-5) and is based on subjective experiences similar to substance use disorders.","addiction journal | publisher | wiley-blackwell wiley-blackwell | parentcompany | john wiley & sons addiction journal | issn number | 0965-2140","no related information" "bakewell pudding is an english dessert consisting of a flaky pastry base with a layer of sieved jam and topped with a filling made of egg and almond paste.this is, however, erroneous as no recipe for 'bakewell pudding' (or indeed bakewell tart) appears in the 1826 edition.a recipe for 'bakewell pudding' does, however, appear in the 1847 edition.the origins of the pudding are not clear, but a common story is that it was first made by accident in 1820 (other sources cite 1860) by mrs greaves, who was the landlady of the white horse inn (since demolished).she supposedly left instructions for her cook to make a jam tart.the cook, instead of stirring the eggs and almond paste mixture into the pastry, spread it on top of the jam.when cooked, the egg and almond paste set like an egg custard, and the result was successful enough for it to become a popular dish at the inn.the dates and/or premises given in this story are unlikely to be accurate as the white horse inn was demolished in 1803 to make way for the development of rutland square and subsequently the rutland arms hotel.additionally, eliza acton provides a recipe for 'bakewell pudding' in her book modern cookery for private families which was published in 1845, making the pudding's creation date of 1860 impossible.one of the earliest verifiable examples of a bakewell pudding recipe comes from the magazine of domestic economy issued in london in 1836.eliza acton published a recipe in her 1845 work modern cookery for private families and mrs beeton published two recipes for bakewell pudding, one which used a pastry base and one which used breadcrumbs, in her book of household management in 1861.","bakewell pudding | region | derbyshire dales bakewell pudding | dishvariation | bakewell tart bakewell pudding | mainingredients | ground almond jam butter eggs","bakewell pudding is an english dessert consisting of a flaky pastry base with a layer of sieved jam and topped with a filling made of egg and almond paste.this is, however, erroneous as no recipe for 'bakewell pudding' (or indeed bakewell tart) appears in the 1826 edition.a recipe for 'bakewell pudding' does, however, appear in the 1847 edition.additionally, eliza acton provides a recipe for 'bakewell pudding' in her book modern cookery for private families which was published in 1845, making the pudding's creation date of 1860 impossible.one of the earliest verifiable examples of a bakewell pudding recipe comes from the magazine of domestic economy issued in london in 1836.eliza acton published a recipe in her 1845 work modern cookery for private families and mrs beeton published two recipes for bakewell pudding, one which used a pastry base and one which used breadcrumbs, in her book of household management in 1861."

encompasses 23 sites of the ancient indus valley civilisation (more than any other state).the most important sites are lothal (the world's first dry dock), dholavira (the fifth largest site), and gola dhoro (where 5 uncommon seals were found).lothal is believed to have been one of the world's first seaports.gujarat's coastal cities, chiefly bharuch and khambhat, served as ports and trading centres in the maurya and gupta empires, and during the succession of royal saka dynasties in the western satraps era.along with bihar, mizoram and nagaland, gujarat is one of four indian states to prohibit the sale of alcohol.the gir forest national park in gujarat is home to the only wild population of the asiatic lion in the world.the economy of gujarat is the fourth-largest in india, with a gross

in human development index.gujarat is regarded as one of the most industrialised states and has a low unemployment rate, but the state ranks poorly on some social indicators and is at times affected by religious violence.parts of modern rajasthan and gujarat have been known as gurjarat or gurjarabhumi for centuries before the mughal period.it contains ancient metropolitan cities from the indus valley such as lothal, dholavira and gola dhoro.the ancient city of lothal was where india's first port was established.the ancient city of dholavira is one of the largest and most prominent archaeological sites in india, belonging to the indus valley civilisation.the most recent discovery was gola dhoro.altogether, about fifty indus valley settlement ruins have been discovered in

persian gulf during the time period of 1000 to 750 bce.there was a succession of various indian empires such as the mauryan dynasty, western satraps, satavahana dynasty, gupta empire, chalukya dynasty, rashtrakuta empire, pala empire and gurjara-pratihara empire, as well as the maitrakas and then the chaulukyas.the early history of gujarat includes the imperial grandeur of chandragupta

(322 bce to 294 bce) and built a dam on the sudarshan lake.emperor ashoka the great, the grandson of chandragupta maurya, not only ordered his edicts engraved in the rock at junagadh, but also asked governor tusherpha to cut canals from the lake where an earlier indian governor had built a dam.between the decline of mauryan power and saurashtra coming under the sway of the samprati mauryas of

"the æsir are the gods of the principal pantheon in old norse religion and norse mythology.the second norse pantheon is the vanir, these two pantheons waged war against each other, resulting in a unified pantheon.in genitival compounds, it takes the form ása-, e.g.in ása-þórr ('thor of the æsir'), besides ás- found in ás-brú 'gods' bridge' (the rainbow), ás-garðr, ás-kunnigr 'gods' kin', ás-liðar 'gods' leader', ás-mogin 'gods' might' (especially of thor), ás-móðr 'divine wrath' etc.landâs 'national god' (patrium numen) is a title of thor, as is allmáttki ás 'almighty god', while it is odin who is 'the' ás.there is also old east norse dialectal *ās-ækia (own: *áss-ekja), i.e.'god ride' (thor riding in his wagon), resulting in the modern swedish word for atmospheric thunder – åska (the form åsekia attested as late as the 17th c.).the feminine form is ásynja (plural ásynjur).the feminine suffix -ynja (proto-norse: -unjō) is known from a few other nouns denoting female animals, such as apynja 'female monkey', vargynja 'she-wolf'.a cognate word for 'goddess' is not attested outside old norse, and a corresponding west germanic word would have been separately derived with the feminine suffixes -inī or -injō.áss is attested in other germanic languages, such as old english ōs (plural ēse), denoting a deity in anglo-saxon paganism, preserved only as a prefix ōs- in personal names (e.g.osborne, oswald) and some place-names, and as the genitive plural ēsa (ēsa gescot and ylfa gescot, 'the shots of anses and of elves', i.e.'elfshot', jaculum divorum et geniorum).in old high german, old dutch and old saxon, the word is only attested in personal and place names, e.g.ansebert, anselm, ansfrid, vihans.the old high german is reconstructed as *ans, plural *ensî.gothic has ans- as reported by jordanes, who wrote in the 6th century ce, presumably a latinized form of actual plural *anseis), as a name for euhemerized semi-divine early gothic rulers.the reconstructed proto-germanic form is *ansuz (plural *ansiwiz).the ansuz rune, ⟨ᚫ⟩, was named after the æsir.*ansuz, itself comes from proto-indo-european *h₂énsus (gen. h₂n̥sóus) 'life force' (cf.avestan aŋhū 'lord; lifetime', ahura 'godhood', sanskrit ásu 'life force', ásura 'demons' ( *h₂n̥suró).it is widely accepted that this word is further related to *h₂ens- 'to engender' (cf.hittite hass- 'to procreate, give birth', tocharian b ās- 'to produce').while other cultures have had 'elder' and 'younger' families of gods, as with the titans versus the olympians of ancient greece, the æsir and vanir were portrayed as contemporaries.the two clans of gods fought battles, concluded treaties, and exchanged hostages (freyr and freyja are mentioned as hostages).an áss like ullr is almost unknown in the myths, but his name is seen in a lot of geographical names, especially in sweden, and may also appear on the 3rd century thorsberg chape, suggesting that his cult was widespread in prehistoric times.the names of the first three æsir in norse mythology, vili, vé and odin all refer to spiritual or mental state, vili to conscious will or desire, vé to the sacred or numinous and óðr to the manic or ecstatic.the vanir appear to have mainly been connected with cultivation and fertility and the æsir were connected with power and war.in the eddas, however, the word æsir is used for gods in general, while asynjur is used for the goddesses in general.for example, in the poem skírnismál, freyr was called 'prince of the æsir'.in the prose edda, njörðr was introduced as 'the third among the æsir', and among the asynjur, freya is always listed second only to frigg.in surviving tales, the origins of many of the æsir are unexplained.","aenir | author | garth nix aenir | language | english

the colombian coffee-growers axis (the departments of caldas, quindío and risaralda), and part of valle del cauca and the northwest of tolima.the main characteristic of this dish is the generous

presentation of the paisa platter is relatively recent.there are no references in the food writing about this dish before 1950.it is probably an interpretation of the local restaurants of simpler

venezuelan pabellón criollo or costa rican gallo pinto.side dishes include mazamorra (a maize-derived beverage similar to atole) with milk and ground panela.there are several variants of the dish all

as 'seven meats platter', which contains, besides the aforementioned ingredients, grilled steak, grilled pork and liver.a diet-friendly version of the dish is very popular in bogotá, which replaces pork with grilled chicken breast, black pudding with salad and chorizo with a wiener.a number of people opposed this designation, arguing that only a small percentage of the colombian population consumes it on a regular basis and that it originated in a single region of colombia (antioquia).however, the suggested alternative, sancocho, is not a distinctively colombian dish, as it is known and enjoyed in many other countries, such as cuba, venezuela, the canary islands, puerto rico, the dominican republic and panama.due to the widespread ubiquity of sancocho, often colombian ajiaco is instead considered the most indicative colombian dish.nonetheless, the commercial colombian tourism industry has pushed ahead without official government sanction by emblazoning ads, menus, and

"japan (japanese: 日本, nippon or nihon, and formally 日本国, nihonkoku) is an island country in east asia.it is situated in the northwest pacific ocean and is bordered on the west by the sea of japan, extending from the sea of okhotsk in the north toward the east china sea, philippine sea, and taiwan in the south.japan is a part of the ring of fire, and spans an archipelago of 14,125 islands, with the five main islands being hokkaido, honshu (the 'mainland'), shikoku, kyushu, and okinawa.tokyo is the nation's capital and largest city, followed by yokohama, osaka, nagoya, sapporo, fukuoka, kobe, and kyoto.japan is the eleventh most populous country in the world, as well as one of the most densely populated.about three-fourths of the country's terrain is mountainous, concentrating its highly urbanized population on narrow coastal plains.japan is divided into 47 administrative prefectures and eight traditional regions.the greater tokyo area is the most populous metropolitan area in the world.japan has the world's highest life expectancy, though it is experiencing a population decline.japan has been inhabited since the upper paleolithic period (30,000 bc).between the 4th and 9th centuries, the kingdoms of japan became unified under an emperor and the imperial court based in heian-kyō.beginning in the 12th century, political power was held by a series of military dictators (shōgun) and feudal lords (daimyō) and enforced by a class of warrior nobility (samurai).after a century-long period of civil war, the country was reunified in 1603 under the tokugawa shogunate, which enacted an isolationist foreign policy.in 1854, a united states fleet forced japan to open trade to the west, which led to the end of the shogunate and the restoration of imperial power in 1868.in the meiji period, the empire of japan adopted a western-modeled constitution and pursued a program of industrialization and modernization.amidst a rise in militarism and overseas colonization, japan invaded china in 1937 and entered world war ii as an axis power in 1941.after suffering defeat in the pacific war and two atomic bombings, japan surrendered in 1945 and came under a seven-year allied occupation, during which it adopted a new constitution.under the 1947 constitution, japan has maintained a unitary parliamentary constitutional monarchy with a bicameral legislature, the national diet.japan is a developed country and a great power.its economy is the world's third-largest by nominal gdp and the fourth-largest by ppp, with its per capita income ranking at 36th highest in the world.although japan has renounced its right to declare war, the country maintains self-defense forces that rank as one of the world's strongest militaries.a global leader in the automotive, robotics and electronics industries, the country has made significant contributions to science and technology.it is part of multiple major international and intergovernmental institutions.japan is considered a cultural superpower as the culture of japan is well known around the world, including its art, cuisine, film, music, and popular culture, which encompasses prominent manga, anime and video game industries.before 日本 was adopted in the early 8th century, the country was known in china as wa (倭, changed in japan around 757 to 和) and in japan by the endonym yamato.nippon, the original sino-japanese reading of the characters, is favored for official uses, including on banknotes and postage stamps.nihon is typically used in everyday speech and reflects shifts in japanese phonology

west by the sea of japan, extending from the sea of okhotsk in the north toward the east china sea, philippine sea, and taiwan in the south.japan is a part of the ring of fire, and spans an archipelago of 14,125 islands, with the five main islands being hokkaido, honshu (the 'mainland'), shikoku, kyushu, and okinawa.japan is the eleventh most populous country in the world, as well as one of the most densely populated.japan is divided into 47 administrative prefectures and eight traditional regions.japan has the world's highest life expectancy, though it is experiencing a population decline.japan has been inhabited since the upper paleolithic period (30,000 bc).between the 4th and 9th centuries, the kingdoms of japan became unified under an emperor and the imperial court based in heian-kyō.in 1854, a united states fleet forced japan to open trade to the west, which led to the end of the shogunate and the restoration of imperial power in 1868.in the meiji period, the empire of japan adopted a western-modeled constitution and pursued a program of industrialization and modernization.amidst a rise in militarism and overseas colonization, japan invaded china in 1937 and entered world war ii as an axis power in 1941.after suffering defeat in the pacific war and two atomic bombings, japan surrendered in 1945 and came under a seven-year allied occupation, during which it adopted a new constitution.under the 1947 constitution, japan has maintained a unitary parliamentary constitutional monarchy with a bicameral legislature, the national diet.japan is a developed

"bandeja paisa (paisa refers to a person from the paisa region and bandeja is spanish for platter), with variations known as bandeja de arriero, bandeja montañera, or bandeja antioqueña, is one of the most representative meals in colombian cuisine, especially of the antioquia department and the paisa region, as well as with the colombian coffee-growers axis (the departments of caldas, quindío and risaralda), and part of valle del cauca and the northwest of tolima.the main characteristic of this dish is the generous amount and variety of food in a traditional bandeja paisa: red beans cooked with pork, white rice, carne molida (ground meat), chicharrón, fried egg, plantain (plátano maduro), chorizo, arepa, hogao sauce, black pudding (morcilla), avocado and lemon.it is served in a platter or a tray.in the 19th century, french and british colonialists also brought their cuisine with them.the current form and presentation of the paisa platter is relatively recent.there are no references in the food writing about this dish before 1950.it is probably an interpretation of the local restaurants of simpler peasant dishes.one of its most prominent features is the juxtaposition of native american and european ingredients, which is also observed in other mestizo dishes of latin american cuisine, such as venezuelan pabellón criollo or costa rican gallo pinto.side dishes include mazamorra (a maize-derived beverage similar to atole) with milk and ground panela.there are several variants of the dish all over the country with deletion or addition of ingredients, which cannot be recognized as bandeja paisa in the strictest sense.some antioquian restaurants offer an 'extended' bandeja paisa, also known as 'seven meats platter', which contains, besides the aforementioned ingredients, grilled steak, grilled pork and liver.a diet-friendly version of the dish is very popular in bogotá, which replaces pork with grilled chicken breast, black pudding with salad and chorizo with a wiener.a number of people opposed this designation, arguing that only a small percentage of the colombian population consumes it on a regular basis and that it originated in a single region of colombia (antioquia).however, the suggested alternative, sancocho, is not a distinctively colombian dish, as it is known and enjoyed in many other countries, such as cuba, venezuela, the canary islands, puerto rico, the dominican republic and panama.due to the widespread ubiquity of sancocho, often colombian ajiaco is instead considered the most indicative colombian dish.nonetheless, the commercial colombian tourism industry has pushed ahead without official government sanction by emblazoning ads, menus, and brochure information with imagery of the bandeja paisa as the single most typical colombian dish.","bandeja paisa | region | paisa region bandeja paisa | country | colombian cuisine bandeja paisa | ingredient | hogao","bandeja paisa (paisa refers to a person from the paisa region and bandeja is spanish for platter), with variations known as bandeja de arriero, bandeja montañera, or bandeja antioqueña, is one of the most representative meals in colombian cuisine, especially of the antioquia department and the paisa region, as well as with the colombian coffee-growers axis (the departments of caldas, quindío and risaralda), and part of valle del cauca and the northwest of tolima.the main characteristic of this dish is the generous amount and variety of food in a traditional bandeja paisa: red beans cooked with pork, white rice, carne molida (ground meat), chicharrón, fried egg, plantain (plátano maduro), chorizo, arepa, hogao sauce, black pudding (morcilla), avocado and lemon.in the 19th century, french and british colonialists also brought their cuisine with them.the current form and presentation of the paisa platter is relatively recent.there are several variants of the dish all over the country with deletion or addition of ingredients, which cannot be recognized as bandeja paisa in the strictest sense.some antioquian restaurants offer an 'extended' bandeja paisa, also known as 'seven meats platter', which contains, besides the aforementioned ingredients, grilled steak, grilled pork and liver.nonetheless, the commercial colombian tourism industry has pushed ahead without official government sanction by emblazoning ads, menus, and brochure information with imagery of the bandeja paisa as the single most typical colombian dish."

"english is a west germanic language in the indo-european language family, with its earliest forms spoken by the inhabitants of early medieval england.it is named after the angles, one of the ancient germanic peoples that migrated to the island of great britain.existing on a dialect continuum with scots and then most closely related to the low saxon and frisian languages, modern english is genealogically germanic.although its grammar and core vocabulary are mostly west germanic, it has borrowed many words from french (about 28% of english words) and latin (also about 28%), as well as some grammar and core vocabulary from old norse (a north germanic language).speakers of english are called anglophones.the earliest forms of english, collectively known as old english or 'anglo-saxon', evolved from a group of north sea germanic dialects brought to great britain by anglo-saxon settlers in the 5th century; these dialects generally resisted influence from the then-local common brittonic and british latin languages.however old english dialects were later influenced by old norse-speaking viking settlers and invaders starting in the 8th and 9th centuries.at the time, old norse even retained considerable mutual intelligibility with certain dialects of old english (especially more northern dialects).middle english began in the late 11th century after the norman conquest of england, when considerable old french (especially old norman french) and latin-derived vocabulary was incorporated into english over some three hundred years.early modern english began in the late 15th century with the start of the great vowel shift and the renaissance trend of borrowing further latin and greek words and roots into english, concurrent with the introduction of the printing press to london.this era notably culminated in the king james bible and the works of william shakespeare.the printing press greatly standardised english spelling, which has remained largely unchanged since then, despite a wide variety of later sound shifts in different english dialects.modern english grammar is the result of a gradual change from a typical indo-european dependent-marking pattern with a rich inflectional morphology and relatively free word order to a mostly analytic pattern with little inflection and a fairly fixed subject–verb–object word order.modern english relies more on auxiliary verbs and word order for the expression of complex tenses, aspects and moods, as well as passive constructions, interrogatives, and some negation.modern english has spread around the world since the 17th century as a consequence of the worldwide influence of the british empire and the united states of america.through all types of printed and electronic media in these countries, english has become the leading language of international discourse and the lingua franca in many regions and professional contexts such as science, navigation, and law.english is the most spoken language in the world and the third most spoken native language in the world, after standard chinese and spanish.it is the most widely learned second language and is either the official language or one of the official languages in 59 sovereign states.there are more people who have learned english as a second language than there are native speakers.as of 2005, it was estimated that there were over two billion speakers of english.english is the majority native language in the united kingdom, the united states, canada, australia, new zealand, and the republic of ireland (see anglosphere) and is widely spoken in some areas of the caribbean, africa, south asia, southeast asia, and oceania.it is a co-official language of the united nations, the european union, and many other international and regional organisations.english accounts for at least 70% of speakers of the germanic language branch of the indo-european family.","english language | spokenin | great britain united states | language | english language alcatraz versus the evil librarians | country | united states","the earliest forms of english, collectively known as old english or 'anglo-saxon', evolved from a group of north sea germanic dialects brought to great britain by anglo-saxon settlers in the 5th century;

"1000 piazzia, provisional designation 1923 nz, is a carbonaceous background asteroid from the outer region of the asteroid belt, approximately 48 kilometers (30 miles) in diameter.it was discovered on 12 august 1923, by german astronomer karl reinmuth at heidelberg observatory in southern germany.the c-type asteroid has a rotation period of 9.5 hours.it was named after italian giuseppe piazzi, who discovered 1 ceres.it orbits the sun in the outer asteroid belt at a distance of 2.4–4.0 au once every 5 years and 8 months (2,063 days; semi-major axis of 3.17 au).its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.26 and an inclination of 21° with respect to the ecliptic.as no precoveries were taken, the body's observation arc begins with its first recorded observation on the night following its official discovery date.he was a director of both the palermo and naples observatories, and known for the compilation of the palermo catalogue, containing the precise position of 7,646 stars.in 1801, piazzi discovered 1 ceres, the first and largest asteroid and the main-belt's only dwarf planet.he is also honored by the lunar crater piazzi.the official naming citation was first mentioned in the names of the minor planets by paul herget in 1955 (h 96).the asteroid is the first of several early 'kilo-numbered' minor planets that were dedicated to renowned scientists or institutions including: 2000 herschel, for william herschel who discovered uranus 3000 leonardo, for the italian polymath of the renaissance, leonardo da vinci 4000 hipparchus, for the ancient greek astronomer hipparchusthese are followed by the asteroids 5000 iau (for the international astronomical union), 6000 united nations (for the united nations), 7000 curie (for the pioneers on radioactivity, marie and pierre curie), and 8000 isaac newton (for isaac newton), while 9000 hal (after hal 9000 from the movie 2001: a space odyssey) and 10000 myriostos (after the greek word for ten-thousandth, and to honor all astronomers) were named based on their direct numeric accordance.1000 piazzia was named as part of trio honoring the events surrounding the discovery of ceres in 1801.a person named carl friedrich gauss who computed the orbit of ceres, and heinrich wilhelm matthias olbers who found it again later that year after it has passed behind the sun.in honor of them, 1001 gaussia for gauss and 1002 olbersia for olbers were named along with 1000 piazzia.in the next few years only three more astronomical bodies were found between mars and jupiter, pallas, juno, and 4 vesta, however it would be 37 years before another asteroid was found, 5 astraea in 1845.by 1868, 100 asteroids had been discovered, however it would not be until 1921 that the 1000th was discovered.the rate accelerated in the 20th century and the ten thousandth would be discovered in 1989.the lightcurve gave a rotation period of 9.47±0.01 hours with a brightness variation of 0.45 magnitude (u=3).a second lightcurve was obtained by astronomer rené roy in march 2007, rendering a period of 9.2±0.2 hours and an amplitude of 0.2 magnitude (u=2).according to the space-based surveys carried out by the infrared astronomical satellite iras, the japanese akari satellite and the neowise mission of nasa's wide-field infrared survey explorer, piazzia measures between 45.72 and 51.55 kilometers in diameter and its surface has an albedo between 0.041 and 0.1119.","1000 piazzia | epoch | 2015-06-27 1000 piazzia | orbitalperiod | 4881600 1000 piazzia | periapsis | 3524970000000 1000 piazzia | escapevelocity | 00252 kilometreperseconds","no related information" "john cowper powys ( koo-pər poh-iss;

liberation, the philippines became independent in 1946.the unitary sovereign state has had a tumultuous experience with democracy, which included the overthrow of a decades-long dictatorship in a nonviolent revolution.the philippines is an emerging market and a newly industrialized country, whose economy is transitioning from being agricultural to service- and manufacturing-centered.it is a founding member of the united nations, the world trade organization, asean, the asia-pacific economic cooperation forum, and the east asia summit; it is a major non-nato ally of the united states.its location as an island country on the pacific ring of fire and close to the equator makes it prone to earthquakes and typhoons.the philippines has a variety of natural resources and a globally-significant level of biodiversity.eventually, the name 'las islas filipinas' would be used for the archipelago's spanish possessions.: 6  other names, such as 'islas del poniente' (western islands), 'islas del oriente' (eastern islands), ferdinand magellan's name, and 'san lázaro' (islands of st. lazarus), were used by the spanish to refer to islands in the region before spanish rule was established.during the philippine revolution, the malolos congress proclaimed the república filipina (the philippine republic).from the spanish–american war (1898) and the philippine–american war (1899–1902) to the commonwealth period (1935–1946), american colonial authorities referred to the country as the philippine islands (a translation of the spanish name).the united states began changing its nomenclature from 'the philippine islands' to 'the philippines' in the philippine autonomy act and the jones law.the official title 'republic of the philippines' was included in the 1935 constitution as the name of the future independent state, and in all succeeding constitutional revisions.a small number of bones from callao cave potentially represent an otherwise unknown species,

it later changed its name to amarillo, which probably derived from yellow wildflowers that were plentiful during the spring and summer or the nearby amarillo lake and amarillo creek, named in turn for the yellow soil along their banks and shores (amarillo is the spanish word for the color yellow).early residents originally pronounced the city's name more similar to the spanish pronunciation ah-mə-ree-yoh, which was later displaced by the current pronunciation.on june 19, 1888, henry b. sanborn, who is given credit as the 'father of amarillo', and his business partner joseph f. glidden began buying land to the east to move amarillo after arguing that berry's site was on low ground and would flood during rainstorms.sanborn also offered to trade lots in the new location to businesses in the original city's site and help with the expense of moving to new buildings.his incentives gradually won over people, who moved their businesses to polk street in the new commercial district.heavy rains almost flooded berry's part of the town in 1889, prompting more people to move to sanborn's location.this eventually led to another county seat election making sanborn's town the new county seat in 1893.by the late 1890s, amarillo had emerged as one of the world's busiest cattle-shipping points, and its population grew significantly.the city became a grain elevator, milling, and feed-manufacturing center after an increase in production of wheat and small grains during the early 1900s.discovery of natural gas in 1918 and oil three years later brought oil and gas companies to the amarillo area.the united states government bought the cliffside gas field with high helium content in 1927 and the federal bureau of mines began operating the amarillo helium plant two years later.the plant was the sole producer of commercial helium in the world for a number of years.","amarillo texas | ispartof | potter county texas potter county texas | country | united states united states | capital | washington dc united states | ethnicgroup | african americans","amarillo ( am-ə-ril-oh;

islamic architecture and one of the best-preserved palaces of the historic islamic world, in addition to containing notable examples of spanish renaissance architecture.the complex was begun in 1238 by muhammad i ibn al-ahmar, the first nasrid emir and founder of the emirate of granada, the last muslim state of al-andalus.it was built on the sabika hill, an outcrop of the sierra nevada which had been the site of earlier fortresses and of the 11th-century palace of samuel ibn naghrillah.later nasrid rulers continuously modified the site.the most significant construction campaigns, which gave the royal palaces much of their definitive character, took place in the 14th century during the reigns of yusuf i and muhammad v. after the conclusion of the christian reconquista in 1492, the site became the royal court of ferdinand and isabella (where christopher columbus received royal endorsement for his expedition), and the palaces were partially altered.in 1526, charles v commissioned a new renaissance-style palace in direct juxtaposition with the nasrid palaces, but it was left uncompleted in the early 17th century.after being allowed to fall into disrepair for centuries, with its

other american and northern european romantic travelers.the most influential of them was washington irving, whose tales of the alhambra (1832) brought international attention to the site.the alhambra was one of the first islamic monuments to become the object of modern scientific study and has been the subject of numerous restorations since the 19th century.it is now one of spain's major tourist attractions and a unesco world heritage site.during the nasrid era, the alhambra was a self-contained city separate from the rest of granada below.it contained most of the amenities of a muslim city such as a friday mosque, hammams (public baths), roads, houses, artisan workshops, a tannery, and a sophisticated water supply system.as a royal city and citadel, it contained at least six major palaces, most of them located along the northern edge where they commanded views over the albaicín quarter.the most famous and best-preserved are the mexuar, the comares palace, the palace of the lions, and the partal palace, which form the main attraction to visitors today.the other palaces are known from historical sources and from modern excavations.at the alhambra's western tip is the

"belgium, officially the kingdom of belgium, is a country in northwestern europe.the country is bordered by the netherlands to the north, germany to the east, luxembourg to the southeast, france to the southwest, and the north sea to the northwest.it covers an area of 30,528 km2 (11,787 sq mi) and has a population of more than 11.5 million, making it the 22nd most densely populated country in the world and the 6th most densely populated country in europe, with a density of 376/km2 (970/sq mi).belgium is part of an area known as the low countries, historically a somewhat larger region than the benelux group of states, as it also included parts of northern france.the capital and largest city is brussels; other major cities are antwerp, ghent, charleroi, liège, bruges, namur, and leuven.belgium is a sovereign state and a federal constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary system.its institutional organization is complex and is structured on both regional and linguistic grounds.it is divided into three highly autonomous regions: the flemish region (flanders) in the north, the walloon region (wallonia) in the south, and the brussels-capital region.brussels is the smallest and most densely populated region, as well as the richest region in terms of gdp per capita.belgium is also home to two main linguistic communities: the flemish community, which constitutes about 60 percent of the population, and the french community, which constitutes about 40 percent of the population.a small german-speaking community, numbering around one percent, exists in the east cantons.the brussels-capital region is officially bilingual in french and dutch, although french is the dominant language.belgium's linguistic diversity and related political conflicts are reflected in its complex system of governance, made up of six different governments.since the middle ages, belgium's central location near several major rivers has meant that the area has been relatively prosperous, connected commercially and politically to its bigger neighbours.the country as it exists today was established following the 1830 belgian revolution, when it seceded from the united kingdom of the netherlands, which had incorporated the southern netherlands (which comprised most of modern-day belgium) after the congress of vienna in 1815.the name chosen for the new state is derived from the latin word belgium, used in julius caesar's 'gallic wars', to describe a nearby region in the period around 55 bce.belgium has also been the battleground of european powers, earning the moniker the 'battlefield of europe', a reputation reinforced in the 20th century by both world wars.belgium participated in the industrial revolution, and during the course of the 20th century, possessed a number of colonies in africa.between 1885 and 1908, the congo free state, which was privately owned by king leopold ii of belgium, was characterized by widespread atrocities and disease, leading to a population decline of millions; amid public outcry in europe, belgium annexed the territory as a colony.the belgian colonial empire gained independence between 1960 and 1962.the second half of the 20th century was marked by rising tensions between the dutch-speaking and the french-speaking citizens fueled by differences in language and culture and the unequal economic development of flanders and wallonia.this continuing antagonism has led to several far-reaching state reforms, resulting in the transition from a unitary to a federal arrangement between 1970 and 1993.despite the reforms, tensions between the groups have remained, if not increased; there is significant separatism particularly among the flemish; controversial language laws exist such as the municipalities with language facilities; and the formation of a coalition government took 18 months following the june 2010 federal election, a world record.","belgium | leadername | philippe of belgium antwerp international airport | cityserved | antwerp antwerp | country | belgium belgium | language | dutch language","belgium, officially the kingdom of belgium, is a country in northwestern europe.belgium is part of an area known as the low countries, historically a somewhat larger region than the benelux group of states, as it also included parts of northern france.the capital and largest city is brussels;

brazilian commercial airports.in 2011 infraero's airports carried 179,482,228 passengers, 1,464,484 tons of cargo, and operated 2,893,631 take-offs and landings.presently it manages 45 airports.the company is present all over brazil and employs approximately 23,000 employees and subcontracted workers nationwide.it is headquartered in the infraero building, in brasília, federal district.the brazilian airport infrastructure, which may match to the international standards, is being updated to meet the next years demand.the works are performed with the company's own revenue, mainly generated by the air cargo storage and custom duty, granting of commercial areas in the airports, boarding, landing and stay tariffs, and rendering of communication and air navigation auxiliary services.on 9 october 2009, it was announced that infraero will invest in airports abroad: infraero was invited by the government of paraguay to administer silvio pettirossi international airport in asunción and invited to participate in the privatization of ruzyně airport in prague, czech republic, among other investments.on march 4, 2010, the government of brazil announced that it would adopt the model of concession to airports.for this reason infraero would become a concessionary rather than an administrator of the airports that it currently operates.the main consequence is the fact that infraero will be able to open its capital and obtain resources necessary for infra-structure investments.another consequence is that municipal or state governments would have it easier to change concessionaries, such as the intention announced on 28 august 2009 by rosinha matheus, the mayor of campos dos goytacazes, who requested infraero the transfer of the administration of bartolomeu

airport, and later belo horizonte – tancredo neves international airport and rio de janeiro – galeão/antonio carlos jobim international airport.the plan was confirmed on may 31, 2011, and it was added that infraero would retain 49% of the shares of each privatized airport.the concession program was divided into phases, each with its own public bidding.the first phase was related to gov.aluízio alves international airport in natal.on august 22, 2011, its concession was won by the consortium inframérica, formed by the brazilian engineering group engevix (50%) and the argentinean group corporación américa (50%), which operates 52 airports in seven countries.after the signature of the contract of concession, inframérica consortium was authorized to commercially explore the facility for 25 years (with one possible five-year extension).as part of the concession agreement infraero holds no shares participation in this facility.the second phase was related to an auction that took place on february 6, 2012.in it consortium inframérica won the concession of brasília – presidente juscelino kubitschek international airport, which will be explored for a period of 25 years.on the same auction, consortium invepar-acsa composed by the brazilian investments and funds society invepar (90%) and the south african airport operator acsa (10%) won the concession for são paulo/guarulhos

commonly referred to as american motors) was an american automobile manufacturing company formed by the merger of nash-kelvinator corporation and hudson motor car company on may 1, 1954.at the time, it was the largest corporate merger in u.s. history.american motors' most similar competitors were those automakers that held similar annual sales levels such as studebaker, packard, kaiser motors, and willys-overland.their largest competitors were the big three—ford, general motors, and chrysler.american motors' production line included small cars - the rambler american, which began as the nash rambler in 1950, hornet, gremlin, and pacer; intermediate and full-sized cars, including the ambassador, rambler classic, rebel, and matador; muscle cars, including the marlin, amx, and javelin; and early four-wheel drive variants of the eagle and the jeep wagoneer, the first true crossovers in the u.s. market.regarded as 'a small company deft enough to exploit special market segments left untended by the giants', american motors was widely known for the design work of chief stylist dick teague, who 'had to make do with a much tighter budget than his counterparts at detroit's big three', but 'had a knack for making the most of his employer's investment'.after periods of intermittent independent success, renault acquired a major interest in american motors in 1979, and the company was ultimately acquired by chrysler in 1987.the new corporation would be called the american motors corporation.an earlier corporation with the same name, co-founded by louis chevrolet, had existed in plainfield, new jersey from 1916 through 1922 before merging into the bessemer–american motors corporation.the nash-kelvinator/hudson deal was a straight stock transfer (three shares of hudson listed at 11⅛, for two shares of american motors and one share of nash-kelvinator listed at 17⅜, for one share of american motors) and finalized in the spring of 1954, forming the fourth-biggest auto company in the u.s. with assets of us$355 million and more than $100 million in working capital.the new company retained hudson ceo a.e.barit as a consultant and he took a seat on the board of directors.nash's george w. mason became president and ceo.mason, the architect of the merger, believed that the survival of the u.s.'s remaining independent automakers was dependent on their joining in one multiple-brand company capable of challenging the big three as an equal.the 'frantic 1953–54 ford/gm price war' had a devastating impact on the remaining 'independent' automakers.the reasons for the merger between nash and hudson included helping cut costs and strengthen their sales organizations to meet the intense competition expected from autos' big three.one quick result from the merger was the doubling up with nash on purchasing and production, allowing hudson to cut prices an average of $155 on the wasp line, and up to $204 on the more expensive hornet models.after the merger, amc had its first profitable quarter during the second three months of 1955, earning $1,592,307, compared to a loss of $3,848,667 during the same period in the previous year.mason also entered into informal discussions with james j. nance of packard to outline his strategic vision.interim plans were made for american motors to buy packard ultramatic automatic transmissions and packard v8 engines for certain american motors products.in july 1954, packard acquired studebaker.the new studebaker-packard corporation (s-p) made the new 320 cu in (5.2 l) packard v8 engine and packard's ultramatic automatic transmission available to american motors for its 1955 nash ambassador and hudson hornet models.when mason died in 1954, george w. romney succeeded him.ironically, romney had once been offered nance's job.in 1948, romney received offers from packard for the post of chief operating officer and from nash for the number two position in the company.","american motors | fate | eagle automobile amc matador | manufacturer | american motors american motors | keyperson | roy d chapin jr","american motors corporation (amc;

"iran, also known as persia and officially as the islamic republic of iran, is a country located in western asia.it is bordered by iraq and turkey to the west, by azerbaijan and armenia to the northwest, by the caspian sea and turkmenistan to the north, by afghanistan and pakistan to the east, and by the gulf of oman and the persian gulf to the south.it covers an area of 1.64 million square kilometres (0.63 million square miles), making it the 17th-largest country.iran has an estimated population of 86.8 million, making it the 17th-most populous country in the world, and the second-largest in the middle east.its largest cities, in descending order, are the capital tehran, mashhad, isfahan, karaj, shiraz, tabriz and ahvaz.the country is home to one of the world's oldest civilizations, beginning with the formation of the elamite kingdoms in the fourth millennium bc.it was first unified by the medes, an ancient iranian people, in the seventh century bc, and reached its territorial height in the sixth century bc, when cyrus the great founded the achaemenid persian empire, which became one of the largest empires in history and a superpower.the achaemenid empire fell to alexander the great in the fourth century bc and was subsequently divided into several hellenistic states.an iranian rebellion established the parthian empire in the third century bc, which was succeeded in the third century ad by the sassanid empire, a major world power for the next four centuries.arab muslims conquered the empire in the seventh century ad, which led to the islamization of iran.it subsequently became a major center of islamic culture and learning, with its art, literature, philosophy, and architecture spreading across the muslim world and beyond during the islamic golden age.over the next two centuries, a series of native iranian muslim dynasties emerged before the seljuk turks and the mongols conquered the region.in the 15th century, the native safavids re-established a unified iranian state and national identity, and converted the country to shia islam.under the reign of nader shah in the 18th century, iran presided over the most powerful military in the world, though by the 19th century, a series of conflicts with the russian empire led to significant territorial losses.the early 20th century saw the persian constitutional revolution.efforts to nationalize its fossil fuel supply from western companies led to an anglo-american coup in 1953, which resulted in greater autocratic rule under mohammad reza pahlavi and growing western political influence.he went on to launch a far-reaching series of reforms in 1963.after the iranian revolution, the current islamic republic was established in 1979 by ruhollah khomeini, who became the country's first supreme leader.the government of iran is an islamic theocracy that includes some elements of a presidential system, with the ultimate authority vested in an autocratic 'supreme leader' (rahbar); a position held by ali khamenei since khomeini's death in 1989.the iranian government is authoritarian, and has received criticism for its significant constraints and abuses against human rights and civil liberties, including several violent suppressions of mass protests, unfair elections, limited rights for women and for children as well as for its mass executions, the second largest in the world.it is also a focal point for shia islam within the middle east, countering the long-existing arab and sunni leadership in the region.since the iranian revolution, the country is widely considered to be the most determined adversary of israel and also of saudi arabia.iran is regarded as a key player in west asia's geo-politics, with its government widely condemned for pursuing an aggressive foreign policy in its neighborhood, marked by supporting numerous shia jihadist groups like hezbollah, houthis and kata'ib hezbollah.","iraq | leadername | haider al-abadi al-taqaddum air base | cityserved | fallujah fallujah | country | iraq iraq | language | arabic","no related information" "the united states of america (u.s.a. or usa), commonly known as the united states (u.s. or us) or america, is a country primarily located in north america.it consists of 50 states, a federal district, five major unincorporated territories, nine minor outlying islands, and 326 indian reservations.the united states is the world's third-largest country by both land and total area.it shares land borders with canada to its north and with mexico to its south and has maritime borders with the bahamas, cuba, russia, and other nations.with a population of over 333 million, it is the most populous country in the americas and the third most populous in the world.the national capital of the united states is washington, d.c., and its most populous city and principal financial center is new york city.indigenous peoples have inhabited the americas for thousands of years.beginning in 1607, british colonization led to the establishment of the thirteen colonies in what is now the eastern united states.they quarreled with the british crown over taxation and political representation, leading to the american revolution and proceeding revolutionary war.the united states declared independence on july 4, 1776, becoming the first nation-state founded on enlightenment principles of unalienable natural rights, consent of the governed, and liberal democracy.during the nineteenth century, the united states political philosophy was influenced by the concept of manifest destiny, as the country expanded across the continent in a number of wars, land purchases, and treaties, eventually reaching the pacific ocean by the middle of the century.sectional division surrounding slavery in the southern united states led to the secession of the confederate states of america, which fought the remaining states of the union during the american civil war (1861–1865).with the union's victory and preservation, slavery was abolished nationally by the thirteenth amendment.by 1900, the united states had established itself as a world power, becoming the world's largest economy.after japan's attack on pearl harbor in 1941, the u.s. entered world war ii on the allied side.the aftermath of the war left the united states and the soviet union as the world's two superpowers and led to the cold war.during the cold war, both countries engaged in a struggle for ideological dominance but avoided direct military conflict.they also competed in the space race, which culminated in the 1969 landing of apollo 11, making the u.s. the first and only nation to ever land humans on the moon.with the soviet union's collapse and the subsequent end of the cold war in 1991, the united states emerged as the world's sole superpower.the united states government is a federal republic and a representative democracy with three separate branches of government.it has a bicameral national legislature composed of the house of representatives, a lower house;

(atk) test-fired their castor 30 motor for use on the second stage of the antares rocket.in march 2010, orbital sciences and aerojet completed test firings of the aj-26 engines.on february 22, 2013, a hot fire test was successfully performed, the entire first stage being erected on the pad and held down while the engines fired for 29 seconds.as orbital had little experience with large liquid stages and lox propellant, the first stage core was designed and is manufactured in ukraine by kb pivdenne and pivdenmash and includes propellant tanks, pressurization tanks, valves, sensors, feed lines, tubing, wiring and other associated hardware.like the zenit—also manufactured by yuzhmash—the antares vehicle has a diameter of 3.9 m (150 in) with a matching 3.9 m payload fairing.","antares rocket | manufacturer | yuzhnoye design office antares rocket | comparable | delta ii delta ii | countryorigin | united states","antares (), known during early development as taurus ii, is an expendable launch system developed by orbital sciences corporation (now part of northrop grumman) and the pivdenne design bureau to launch the cygnus spacecraft to the international space station as part of nasa's cots and crs programs.originally designated the taurus ii, orbital sciences renamed the vehicle antares, after the star of the same name, on december 12, 2011.the antares has flown two major design iterations, the 100 series and 200 series."

"poaceae () or gramineae () is a large and nearly ubiquitous family of monocotyledonous flowering plants commonly known as grasses.it includes the cereal grasses, bamboos and the grasses of natural grassland and species cultivated in lawns and pasture.the latter are commonly referred to collectively as grass.with around 780 genera and around 12,000 species, the poaceae is the fifth-largest plant family, following the asteraceae, orchidaceae, fabaceae and rubiaceae.the poaceae are the most economically important plant family, providing staple foods from domesticated cereal crops such as maize, wheat, rice, barley, and millet as well as feed for meat-producing animals.they provide, through direct human consumption, just over one-half (51%) of all dietary energy; rice provides 20%, wheat supplies 20%, maize (corn) 5.5%, and other grains 6%.some members of the poaceae are used as building materials (bamboo, thatch, and straw); others can provide a source of biofuel, primarily via the conversion of maize to ethanol.grasses have stems that are hollow except at the nodes and narrow alternate leaves borne in two ranks.the lower part of each leaf encloses the stem, forming a leaf-sheath.the leaf grows from the base of the blade, an adaptation allowing it to cope with frequent grazing.grasslands such as savannah and prairie where grasses are dominant are estimated to constitute 40.5% of the land area of the earth, excluding greenland and antarctica.grasses are also an important part of the vegetation in many other habitats, including wetlands, forests and tundra.though they are commonly called 'grasses', groups such as the seagrasses, rushes and sedges fall outside this family.the rushes and sedges are related to the poaceae, being members of the order poales, but the seagrasses are members of order alismatales.however, all of them belong to the monocot group of plants.grass leaves are nearly always alternate and distichous (in one plane), and have parallel veins.: 11  each leaf is differentiated into a lower sheath hugging the stem and a blade with entire (i.e., smooth) margins.: 11  the leaf blades of many grasses are hardened with silica phytoliths, which discourage grazing animals; some, such as sword grass, are sharp enough to cut human skin.a membranous appendage or fringe of hairs called the ligule lies at the junction between sheath and blade, preventing water or insects from penetrating into the sheath.: 11  flowers of poaceae are characteristically arranged in spikelets, each having one or more florets.: 12  the spikelets are further grouped into panicles or spikes.the part of the spikelet that bears the florets is called the rachilla.a spikelet consists of two (or sometimes fewer) bracts at the base, called glumes, followed by one or more florets.: 13  a floret consists of the flower surrounded by two bracts, one external—the lemma—and one internal—the palea.the flowers are usually hermaphroditic—maize being an important exception—and mainly anemophilous or wind-pollinated, although insects occasionally play a role.the perianth is reduced to two scales, called lodicules,: 11  that expand and contract to spread the lemma and palea; these are generally interpreted to be modified sepals.the fruit of grasses is a caryopsis, in which the seed coat is fused to the fruit wall.: 16  a tiller is a leafy shoot other than the first shoot produced from the seed.: 11  === growth and development === grass blades grow at the base of the blade and not from elongated stem tips.this low growth point evolved in response to grazing animals and allows grasses to be grazed or mown regularly without severe damage to the plant.: 113–114 three general classifications of growth habit present in grasses: bunch-type (also called caespitose), stoloniferous, and rhizomatous.","poaceae | division | flowering plant alderney airport | 1st runway surfacetype | poaceae poaceae | order | poales poaceae | order | commelinids","poaceae () or gramineae () is a large and nearly ubiquitous family of monocotyledonous flowering plants commonly known as grasses.with around 780 genera and around 12,000 species, the poaceae is the fifth-largest plant family, following the asteraceae, orchidaceae, fabaceae and rubiaceae.the poaceae are the most economically important plant family, providing staple foods from domesticated cereal crops such as maize, wheat, rice, barley, and millet as well as feed for meat-producing animals.the rushes and sedges are related to the poaceae, being members of the order poales, but the seagrasses are members of order alismatales."

"the aston martin v8 is a grand tourer manufactured by aston martin in the united kingdom from 1969 to 1989.as with all traditional aston martins, it was entirely handbuilt – with each car requiring 1,200 man-hours to finish.aston martin were looking to replace the db6 model and had designed a larger, more modern looking car.the engine was not ready, however, so in 1967 the company released the dbs with the straight-six vantage engine from the db6.two years later, tadek marek's v8 was ready, and aston released the dbs v8.with the demise of the straight-six vantage in 1973, the dbs v8, now restyled and called simply the aston martin v8, became the company's mainstream car for nearly two decades.it was eventually retired in favour of the virage in 1989.though the body and name was shared with the six-cylinder dbs, the v8 sold for much more.the body was a modern reinterpretation of the traditional aston martin look, with a squared-off grille and four headlights (william towns admitted that the rear quarters were 'borrowed' from the early ford mustang).distinguishing features of the v8 model are the larger front air dam, 225/70vr15 tyres and lack of wire wheels, though some six-cylinder dbs cars also used the v8's alloy wheels.the tail lights were taken from the hillman hunter.a road test report of the time noted that the car had gained 250 lb (113 kg) in weight with the fitting of the v8 in place of the previously used six-cylinder unit, despite the manufacturer's assurance that the engine weighed only 30 lb (14 kg) more than the older straight-six.other contributions to the weight gain included heavier ventilated brake discs, air conditioning, fatter tyres, a new and stronger zf gearbox as well as some extra bodywork beneath the front bumper.marek's v8 engine displaced 5,340 cc (5.3 l; 325.9 cu in) and used bosch fuel injection.output was not officially released, but estimates center around 315 hp (235 kw).the dbs v8 could reach 100 km/h (62 mph) in 7.1 seconds and had a top speed of 242 km/h (150 mph).402 dbs v8s were built.a dbs v8 was planned to be used by roger moore's character brett sinclair in the television show, the persuaders!but no v8 car was available at that time so a six-cylinder dbs was modified to look like a v8 model for use in the show.it is based on a dbs v8 and two cars were commissioned by the tobacco company w.o.wills to promote their new premium brand of cigarettes: one show car with chassis number dbsv8/10380/r and one road going car with chassis number dbsv8/10381/rc.a third 'replica' car was commissioned by a private party.visual differences included twin quartz-halogen headlights and a mesh grille, a front design which was to last until the end of production in 1989.am v8 cars, produced from may 1972 through july 1973, used a similar engine to the dbs v8, albeit with bosch fuel injection rather than the earlier carburetors.just 288 series 2 cars were built.although david brown had left the company, he had overseen development of this model.the first 34 cars still carried leftover 'dbs v8' badging.these cars are distinguished by a taller hood scoop to accommodate four twin-choke (two-barrel) weber carbs.the car produced 310 hp (231 kw; 314 ps) and could reach 60 mph (97 km/h) in 6.1 seconds with an automatic transmission or 5.7 with a manual.performance suffered with emissions regulations, falling to 288 hp (215 kw; 292 ps) in 1976.the next year, a more powerful 'stage 1' engine with new camshafts and exhaust brought it up to 305 hp (227 kw; 309 ps).these cars either fitted 225/70vr15 avon turbospeed or 235/70vr15 turbospeed rolls-royce tyre on the auto models or the 255/60r15 pirelli cinturato cn12 off the vantage.","aston martin v8 | relatedmeanoftransportation | aston martin dbs aston martin v8 | engine | 53 litres aston martin v8 | assembly | united kingdom","the aston martin v8 is a grand tourer manufactured by aston martin in the united kingdom from 1969 to 1989.as with all traditional aston martins, it was entirely handbuilt – with each car requiring 1,200 man-hours to finish.aston martin were looking to replace the db6 model and had designed a larger, more modern looking car.two years later, tadek marek's v8 was ready, and aston released the dbs v8.with the demise of the straight-six vantage in 1973, the dbs v8, now restyled and called simply the aston martin v8, became the company's mainstream car for nearly two decades.the body was a modern reinterpretation of the traditional aston martin look, with a squared-off grille and four headlights (william towns admitted that the rear quarters were 'borrowed' from the early ford mustang)."

"the guiana space centre (french: centre spatial guyanais; csg), also called europe's spaceport, is a european spaceport to the northwest of kourou in french guiana, a region of france in south america.kourou is located approximately 310 mi (500 km) north of the equator at a latitude of 5°.in operation since 1968, it is a suitable location for a spaceport because of its equatorial location and open sea to the east.the european space agency (esa), the european union agency for the space programme (euspa), the french space agency cnes (national centre for space studies), the space agency of the republic of azerbaijan (azercosmos) and the commercial company arianespace conduct launches from kourou.it was used by the esa to send supplies to the international space station using the automated transfer vehicle.in 1975, france offered to share kourou with the esa.commercial launches are also bought by non-european companies.esa pays two-thirds of the spaceport's annual budget and has also financed the upgrades made during the development of the ariane launchers.on 4 april 2017, the center was occupied by 30 labour unions and indigenous peoples leaders in the midst of the 2017 social unrest in french guiana, but was taken back on 24 april 2017.one of the primary benefits of this spaceport is its proximity to the equator, which makes it more efficient, requiring substantially less energy, to launch spacecraft into an near-equatorial, geostationary orbit compared to launching from spaceports at higher latitudes.additionally, the centre's location adjacent to the open sea to the east reduces the potential risk of rocket stages and debris from launch failures falling on or near human settlements, which enhances safety during spaceflight activities.furthermore, rockets typically launch towards the east to take advantage of earth's rotation and the angular momentum it provides.the near-equatorial location of the guiana space centre offers an advantage for launches to low-inclination or geostationary earth orbits, as rockets can be launched into orbits with an inclination of as low as 6°.in contrast, a rocket launched from cape canaveral space force station, with a latitude of 28.5°, can only be launched to an inclination of 28.5°, requiring a significant amount of propellant to change the inclination.the location of the guiana space centre provides benefits for launching spacecraft into low-inclination or geostationary earth orbits.rockets of similar size to those used at other spaceports to place satellites into geostationary transfer orbit (gto), such as the proton and ariane 5 rockets, can send similar payloads to a low earth orbit (leo).for example, the proton rocket, launched from high latitudes in russia, can only send 6,270 kg to gto, while the kourou-launched ariane 5 can send more than 10,000 kg to gto.one europa-ii was launched from the site in 1971, which ended in failure due to a guidance problem, before the program was cancelled.the pad at giunana was demolished and subsequently rebuilt as the first launch complex for ariane as ela (ensemble de lancement ariane).redesignated later as ela-1, it was used for ariane 1 and ariane 2 and 3 launches until being retired in 1989.in november 2001, it was refurbished again for the vega rocket and renamed elv (ensemble de lancement vega).the first launch was on 13 february 2012.before 1988, although purpose-built for ariane 4, the pad hosted an ariane-2 and two ariane-3 launches.the complex consisted of two areas: the launcher preparation zone and the launch pad, separated by one kilometre, allowing a launcher to be assembled in the preparation zone while another launch from the pad.a mobile service tower at the launch pad provided a protected environment for payload installation and final preparation of the rocket.","guiana space centre | headquarter | french guiana ela-3 | site | guiana space centre ariane 5 | launchsite | ela-3","the guiana space centre (french: centre spatial guyanais; csg), also called europe's spaceport, is a european spaceport to the northwest of kourou in french guiana, a region of france in south america.the european space agency (esa), the european union agency for the space programme (euspa), the french space agency cnes (national centre for space studies), the space agency of the republic of azerbaijan (azercosmos) and the commercial company arianespace conduct launches from kourou.on 4 april 2017, the center was occupied by 30 labour unions and indigenous peoples leaders in the midst of the 2017 social unrest in french guiana, but was taken back on 24 april 2017.the near-equatorial location of the guiana space centre offers an advantage for launches to low-inclination or geostationary earth orbits, as rockets can be launched into orbits with an inclination of as low as 6°.the location of the guiana space centre provides benefits for launching spacecraft into low-inclination or geostationary earth orbits."

"sugo all'amatriciana (italian pronunciation: [ˈsuːɡo allamatriˈtʃaːna]), or alla matriciana (in romanesco dialect), also known as salsa all'amatriciana, is a traditional italian pasta sauce based on guanciale (cured pork cheek), pecorino romano cheese, tomato, and, in some variations, onion.originating from the town of amatrice (in the mountainous province of rieti of lazio region), the amatriciana is one of the best known pasta sauces in present-day roman and italian cuisine.the italian government has named it a traditional agro-alimentary product of lazio and amatriciana tradizionale is registered as a traditional speciality guaranteed in the eu and the uk.in papal rome, the grici were sellers of common edible foods, who got this name because many of them came from valtellina, at that time a possession of the swiss canton of grigioni.according to another hypothesis, the name originates from the hamlet of grisciano, in the comune of accumoli, near amatrice.the sauce—nowadays named also amatriciana bianca—was, and still is, prepared with guanciale (cured pork cheek) and grated pecorino romano.at some point, a little olive oil was added to the recipe.in the 1960s, amatriciana sauce was still prepared in this way in amatrice itself.the invention of the first tomato sauces (and the likely earliest date for the introduction of tomato in the gricia, creating amatriciana) dates back to the late 18th century.tomatoes originated from the aztecs and incas, and were introduced to europe through the columbian exchange via spain.the first written record of pasta with tomato sauce can be found in the 1790 cookbook l'apicio moderno by roman chef francesco leonardi.the amatriciana recipe became increasingly famous in rome over the 19th and early 20th centuries, due to the centuries-old connection between rome and amatrice.the recipe was extremely well received and rapidly went on to become a classic of roman cuisine, even though it originated elsewhere.the name of the dish in the romanesco dialect eventually became matriciana due to the apheresis typical of this dialect.while tomato-less gricia is still prepared in central italy, it is the tomato-enriched amatriciana that is better known throughout italy and exported everywhere.while in amatrice the dish is prepared with spaghetti, the use of bucatini has become extremely common in rome and is now prevalent.other types of dry pasta (particularly rigatoni) are also used, whereas fresh pasta is generally avoided.in amatrice, use of guanciale and tomato is typical.onion is not favoured, although it is shown in the classical handbooks of roman cuisine.for frying, olive oil is most commonly used, but strutto (canned pork lard) is used as well.in amatrice, the local pecorino is sometimes used as cheese.for cheese either pecorino romano or amatrice's pecorino (from the monti sibillini or monti della laga areas) can be used.the addition of black pepper or chili pepper is common.vie piazze e ville di roma nel loro valore storico e topografico (in italian).roma: libreria di scienze e lettere.boni, ada (1983) [1930].la cucina romana (in italian).roma: newton compton editori.gosetti della salda, anna (1967).le ricette regionali italiane (in italian).milano: solares.carnacina, luigi;

"the guiana space centre (french: centre spatial guyanais; csg), also called europe's spaceport, is a european spaceport to the northwest of kourou in french guiana, a region of france in south america.kourou is located approximately 310 mi (500 km) north of the equator at a latitude of 5°.in operation since 1968, it is a suitable location for a spaceport because of its equatorial location and open sea to the east.the european space agency (esa), the european union agency for the space programme (euspa), the french space agency cnes (national centre for space studies), the space agency of the republic of azerbaijan (azercosmos) and the commercial company arianespace conduct launches from kourou.it was used by the esa to send supplies to the international space station using the automated transfer vehicle.in 1975, france offered to share kourou with the esa.commercial launches are also bought by non-european companies.esa pays two-thirds of the spaceport's annual budget and has also financed the upgrades made during the development of the ariane launchers.on 4 april 2017, the center was occupied by 30 labour unions and indigenous peoples leaders in the midst of the 2017 social unrest in french guiana, but was taken back on 24 april 2017.one of the primary benefits of this spaceport is its proximity to the equator, which makes it more efficient, requiring substantially less energy, to launch spacecraft into an near-equatorial, geostationary orbit compared to launching from spaceports at higher latitudes.additionally, the centre's location adjacent to the open sea to the east reduces the potential risk of rocket stages and debris from launch failures falling on or near human settlements, which enhances safety during spaceflight activities.furthermore, rockets typically launch towards the east to take advantage of earth's rotation and the angular momentum it provides.the near-equatorial location of the guiana space centre offers an advantage for launches to low-inclination or geostationary earth orbits, as rockets can be launched into orbits with an inclination of as low as 6°.in contrast, a rocket launched from cape canaveral space force station, with a latitude of 28.5°, can only be launched to an inclination of 28.5°, requiring a significant amount of propellant to change the inclination.the location of the guiana space centre provides benefits for launching spacecraft into low-inclination or geostationary earth orbits.rockets of similar size to those used at other spaceports to place satellites into geostationary transfer orbit (gto), such as the proton and ariane 5 rockets, can send similar payloads to a low earth orbit (leo).for example, the proton rocket, launched from high latitudes in russia, can only send 6,270 kg to gto, while the kourou-launched ariane 5 can send more than 10,000 kg to gto.one europa-ii was launched from the site in 1971, which ended in failure due to a guidance problem, before the program was cancelled.the pad at giunana was demolished and subsequently rebuilt as the first launch complex for ariane as ela (ensemble de lancement ariane).redesignated later as ela-1, it was used for ariane 1 and ariane 2 and 3 launches until being retired in 1989.in november 2001, it was refurbished again for the vega rocket and renamed elv (ensemble de lancement vega).the first launch was on 13 february 2012.before 1988, although purpose-built for ariane 4, the pad hosted an ariane-2 and two ariane-3 launches.the complex consisted of two areas: the launcher preparation zone and the launch pad, separated by one kilometre, allowing a launcher to be assembled in the preparation zone while another launch from the pad.a mobile service tower at the launch pad provided a protected environment for payload installation and final preparation of the rocket.","guiana space centre | location | kourou french guiana ela-3 | site | guiana space centre ariane 5 | launchsite | ela-3","the guiana space centre (french: centre spatial guyanais; csg), also called europe's spaceport, is a european spaceport to the northwest of kourou in french guiana, a region of france in south america.the european space agency (esa), the european union agency for the space programme (euspa), the french space agency cnes (national centre for space studies), the space agency of the republic of azerbaijan (azercosmos) and the commercial company arianespace conduct launches from kourou.on 4 april 2017, the center was occupied by 30 labour unions and indigenous peoples leaders in the midst of the 2017 social unrest in french guiana, but was taken back on 24 april 2017.the near-equatorial location of the guiana space centre offers an advantage for launches to low-inclination or geostationary earth orbits, as rockets can be launched into orbits with an inclination of as low as 6°.the location of the guiana space centre provides benefits for launching spacecraft into low-inclination or geostationary earth orbits."

united states.they quarreled with the british crown over taxation and political representation, leading to the american revolution and proceeding revolutionary war.the united states declared independence on july 4, 1776, becoming the first nation-state founded on enlightenment principles of unalienable natural rights, consent of the governed, and liberal democracy.during the nineteenth century, the united states political philosophy was influenced by the concept of manifest destiny, as the country expanded across the continent in a number of wars, land purchases, and treaties,

"arròs negre (valencian pronunciation: [aˈrɔz ˈneɣɾe], spanish: arroz negro) is a valencian and catalan dish made with cuttlefish (or squid) and rice, somewhat similar to seafood paella.some call it paella negra ('black paella'), although it is traditionally not called a paella even though it is prepared in a similar manner.arròs negre should not be confused with black rice, the collective name for several cultivars of heirloom rice that have a naturally dark color.the traditional recipe for this dish calls for squid ink, cuttlefish or squid, white rice, garlic, green cubanelle peppers, sweet paprika, olive oil and seafood broth.however, many cooks add other seafood as well, such as crab and shrimp.the dish's dark color comes from squid ink which also enhances its seafood flavor.in addition to valencia and catalonia, this dish is popular in cuba and puerto rico where on both islands it is known as arroz con calamares ('rice with squid' in spanish).in the philippines, it is considered to be a subtype of the filipino adaptation of paelya and is known as paella negra (or paelya negra).black rice dishes with cuttlefish or squid ink are also made in italy, croatia and montenegro, where they are known as 'black risotto'.fideuà negra ('black noodles' in valencian) is a variation made with noodles instead of rice and is usually served with aioli.","arròs negre | country | spain spain | ethnicgroup | spaniards arròs negre | region | catalonia catalonia | leadername | parliament of catalonia","in addition to valencia and catalonia, this dish is popular in cuba and puerto rico where on both islands it is known as arroz con calamares ('rice with squid' in spanish)."

that time, thomas jones was a mechanical draughtsman although he later progressed to become an engineering lecturer.in the united kingdom census 1881, alfred is listed (aged 8) with the rest of his family (ada, mary, thomas, alfred, ernest, robert, maud and later percy) which was resident in moss side, then a manchester suburb.at age 18, alfred was still living with his parents and was studying art in manchester.it seems that within a few years he had moved to london in order to advance his career in the arts.this was most probably in order to become a student at the national art training school in south kensington, an institution that would become the royal college of art in 1896.the march 1901 edition of the poster and art collector publication included an article entitled 'some remarks on the work of alfred garth jones' (by the editor).this describes how jones continued his training by attending the slade school of fine art as a pupil of professor fred brown.he then extended his studies in paris at the académie julian where he was directed by jean-joseph benjamin-constant and jean-paul laurens, before returning to england in 1894.on 15 december 1898 alfred married harriette napier osborne (a farmer's daughter b 10 december 1875 in marden, kent) at the parish church (now chelsea old church) in the parish of st. luke, chelsea, london.the ceremony was attended by alfred's father, thomas, and by harriette's mother, lydia napier osborne (née hardy).by the time of the united kingdom census 1901 the couple were living on the king's road, chelsea.in 1911, alfred and harriette were living in wandsworth with their 5-year-old daughter, barbara garth jones.the census of that year records that harriette had by this time given birth to two children.brian garth jones had been born in 1902 but had died aged four.the census forms in the united kingdom were then required to be completed by the head of the household, for that individual address, and this document bears the name and signature 'alfred garth jones'.the reason for choosing this name is not known, but may have been influenced by the welsh ancestry of his forefathers.his earlier works were signed a garth jones (or a g j), although later this was shortened to garth jones.jones' illustrations were used in several notable publications around the start of the 20th century, including works by tennyson, h.g.wells, john milton, conan doyle and carmen sylva.in 1894, the first examples of jones' illustrations appeared in 'the tournament of love' by william theodore peters and 'fairy tales from classic myths for boys and girls' by charles h smith.two years later, jones edited the beam, a bi-monthly magazine published by students of the national art training schools.there were only three editions produced between january and may 1896.from 1896 to nearly the end of 1899, alfred was design master at the lambeth school of art.in 1898, he produced a woodcut portrayal of the bound samson in a collection of john milton's poems.by 1901, jones' reputation was sufficient that he was selected, along with harold nelson, by elisabeth of wied (queen consort of carol i of romania) to illustrate the english edition of a book of verse (a real queen's fairy book, published by george newnes ltd) which she had written under the pen name of carmen sylva.in france at around the same time, jérôme doucet (1865–1957) chose jones to be the illustrator for his 'contes de la fileuse' (tales of the spinner).","alfred garth jones | deathplace | london alfred garth jones | birthplace |

georgia to the northeast; armenia, azerbaijan, and iran to the east; iraq to the southeast; syria and the mediterranean sea to the south; the aegean sea to the west; and greece and bulgaria to the northwest.cyprus is off the south coast.most of the country's citizens are ethnic turks, while kurds are the largest ethnic minority.ankara is turkey's capital and second-largest city; istanbul is its largest city and main financial centre.one of the world's earliest permanently settled regions, present-day turkey was home to important neolithic sites like göbekli tepe, and was inhabited by ancient civilizations including the hattians, hittites, anatolian peoples, greeks, assyrians, persians, and others.following the conquests of alexander the great which started the hellenistic period, most of the ancient anatolian regions were culturally hellenized, and this continued during the byzantine era.the seljuk turks began migrating to anatolia in the 11th century, which started the turkification process.the seljuk sultanate of rum ruled anatolia until the mongol invasion in 1243, when it disintegrated into small turkish principalities.beginning in the late 13th century, the ottomans united the principalities and conquered the balkans, while the turkification of anatolia further progressed during the ottoman period.after mehmed ii conquered constantinople (now istanbul) in 1453, ottoman expansion continued under selim i.during the reign of suleiman the magnificent, the ottoman empire became a global power.from the late 18th century onwards, the empire's power declined with a gradual loss of territories.mahmud ii started a period of modernization in the early 19th century.the young turk revolution of 1908 restricted the authority of the sultan and restored the ottoman parliament after a 30-year suspension, ushering the empire into a multi-party period.the three pashas took control with the 1913 coup d'état, and the ottoman empire entered world war i as one of the central powers in 1914.during the war, the ottoman government committed genocides against its armenian, greek and assyrian subjects.after its defeat in the war, the ottoman empire was partitioned.the turkish war of independence against the occupying allied powers resulted in the abolition of the sultanate on 1 november 1922, the signing of the treaty of lausanne (which superseded the treaty of sèvres) on 24 july 1923 and the proclamation of the republic on 29 october 1923.with the reforms initiated by the country's first president, mustafa kemal atatürk, turkey became a secular, unitary and parliamentary republic.turkey remained neutral during most of world war ii, but entered the closing stages of the war on the side of the allies.turkey played a prominent role in the korean war and joined nato in 1952.during the cold war years, the country endured two military coups in 1960 and 1980, and a period of economic and political turmoil in the 1970s.the economy was liberalized in the 1980s, leading to stronger economic growth and political stability.since 2002, the country's political system has been dominated by the akp and its leader recep tayyip erdoğan, under whom a decade of rapid growth in nominal gdp took place until 2013, which was followed by a period of recession and stagnation in terms of usd-based nominal gdp between 2013 and 2020, and high inflation as of 2023.the akp government's initial economic achievements, which were financed through privatization revenues and loans, were overshadowed by democratic backsliding and an erosion in the separation of powers and civil liberties, which gained momentum after the parliamentary republic was replaced by an executive presidential system with a referendum in 2017.turkey is a regional power with a geopolitically significant strategic location.","turkey | leadername | ahmet davutoğlu turkey | capital | ankara atatürk monument i̇zmir | location | turkey","ankara is turkey's capital and second-largest city;

ireland.in conclusion, the best bacon sandwiches are made with 'crispy, fried, and not-too-fat bacon between thick slices of white bread.'another study by the direct line for business listed the top additions to the traditional bacon butty in england.although the original was still the preferred sandwich, the next top contender was the 'breggy' which adds an egg.however food writer felicity cloake recommends neither, favouring marmalade and mustard instead.the blt is a popular variant of the bacon sandwich with the additional ingredients of lettuce and tomato, but served cold.in ontario, canada, peameal bacon sandwiches are a common variation, usually served on a soft kaiser bun and are considered the unofficial dish of toronto.the double down contains 'bacon, two different kinds of melted cheese, the colonel’s 'secret' sauce... pinched in between two pieces of original recipe chicken fillets.'kfc describes the double down as a 'sandwich' although it does not have bread.the sandwich consists of a single warmed, hollowed-out loaf of bread filled with one jar of creamy peanut butter, one jar of grape jelly, and a pound of bacon.the name of the sandwich is derived from its price of $49.95.in later years, it was priced closer to $100 for the sandwich and a bottle of dom pérignon.'the world health organization released a warning concerning the sodium content in bacon.for 100g of bacon, there are approximately 1,500 mg of sodium."

"country (also called country and western) is a music genre originating in the southern and southwestern united states.first produced in the 1920s, country primarily focuses on working class americans and blue-collar american life.country music is known for its ballads and dance tunes (also known as 'honky-tonk music') with simple form, folk lyrics, and harmonies accompanied by instruments such as banjos, fiddles, harmonicas, and many types of guitar (including acoustic, electric, steel, and resonator guitars).though it is primarily rooted in various forms of american folk music, such as old-time music and appalachian music, many other traditions, including african-american, mexican, irish, and hawaiian music, have also had a formative influence on the genre.blues modes have been used extensively throughout its recorded history.the term country music gained popularity in the 1940s in preference to hillbilly music; it came to encompass western music, which evolved parallel to hillbilly music from similar roots, in the mid-20th century.contemporary styles of western music include texas country, red dirt, and hispano- and mexican american-led tejano and new mexico music, all extant alongside longstanding indigenous traditions.in 2009, in the united states, country music was the most listened to rush hour radio genre during the evening commute, and second most popular in the morning commute.according to country historian bill c. malone, country music was 'introduced to the world as a southern phenomenon.'migration into the southern appalachian mountains, of the southeastern united states, brought the folk music and instruments of europe, africa, and the mediterranean basin along with it for nearly 300 years, which developed into appalachian music.as the country expanded westward, the mississippi river and louisiana became a crossroads for country music, giving rise to cajun music.in the southwestern united states, it was the rocky mountains, american frontier, and rio grande that acted as a similar backdrop for native american, mexican, and cowboy ballads, which resulted in new mexico music and the development of western music, and its directly related red dirt, texas country, and tejano music styles.in the asia-pacific, the steel guitar sound of country music has its provenance in the music of hawaii.since 2014, the city has been home to the birthplace of country music museum.historians have also noted the influence of the less-known johnson city sessions of 1928 and 1929, and the knoxville sessions of 1929 and 1930.in addition, the mountain city fiddlers convention, held in 1925, helped to inspire modern country music.before these, pioneer settlers, in the great smoky mountains region, had developed a rich musical heritage.james gideon 'gid' tanner (1885–1960) was an american old-time fiddler and one of the earliest stars of what would come to be known as country music.his band, the skillet lickers, was one of the most innovative and influential string bands of the 1920s and 1930s.its most notable members were clayton mcmichen (fiddle and vocal), dan hornsby (vocals), riley puckett (guitar and vocal) and robert lee sweat (guitar).new york city record label okeh records began issuing hillbilly music records by fiddlin' john carson as early as 1923, followed by columbia records (series 15000d 'old familiar tunes') (samantha bumgarner) in 1924, and rca victor records in 1927 with the first famous pioneers of the genre jimmie rodgers, who is widely considered the 'father of country music', and the first family of country music the carter family.many 'hillbilly' musicians recorded blues songs throughout the 1920s.during the second generation (1930s–1940s), radio became a popular source of entertainment, and 'barn dance' shows featuring country music were started all over the south, as far north as chicago, and as far west as california.","country music | instrument | banjo al anderson nrbq band | associatedband/associatedmusicalartist | nrbq al anderson nrbq band | associatedband/associatedmusicalartist | the wildweeds al anderson nrbq band | genre | country music","first produced in the 1920s, country primarily focuses on working class americans and blue-collar american life.country music is known for its ballads and dance tunes (also known as 'honky-tonk music') with simple form, folk lyrics, and harmonies accompanied by instruments such as banjos, fiddles, harmonicas, and many types of guitar (including acoustic, electric, steel, and resonator guitars)."

"hip hop music or hip-hop music, also known as rap music and formerly known as disco rap, is a genre of popular music that originated in the bronx borough of new york city in the early 1970s by african americans, and it had been around for years prior before mainstream discovery.this genre of music originated as anti-drug and anti-violence, while consisting of stylized rhythmic music (usually built around drum beats) that commonly accompanies rapping, a rhythmic and rhyming speech that is chanted.according to the professor asante of african american studies at temple university, 'hip hop is something that blacks can unequivocally claim as their own'.it was developed as part of hip hop culture, a subculture defined by four key stylistic elements: mcing/rapping, djing/scratching with turntables, break dancing, and graffiti art.other elements include sampling beats or bass lines from records (or synthesized beats and sounds), and rhythmic beatboxing.while often used to refer solely to rapping, 'hip hop' more properly denotes the practice of the entire subculture.the term hip hop music is sometimes used synonymously with the term rap music, though rapping is not a required component of hip hop music; the genre may also incorporate other elements of hip hop culture, including djing, turntablism, scratching, beatboxing, and instrumental tracks.hip hop as both a musical genre and a culture was formed during the 1970s when block parties became increasingly popular in new york city, particularly among african american youth residing in the bronx.at block parties, djs played percussive breaks of popular songs using two turntables and a dj mixer to be able to play breaks from two copies of the same record, alternating from one to the other and extending the 'break'.hip hop's early evolution occurred as sampling technology and drum machines became widely available and affordable.turntablist techniques such as scratching and beatmatching developed along with the breaks.rapping developed as a vocal style in which the artist speaks or chants along rhythmically with an instrumental or synthesized beat.hip hop music was not officially recorded for play on radio or television until 1979, largely due to poverty during the genre's birth and lack of acceptance outside ghetto neighborhoods.old school hip hop was the first mainstream wave of the genre, marked by its disco influence and party-oriented lyrics.the 1980s marked the diversification of hip hop as the genre developed more complex styles and spread around the world.new school hip hop was the genre's second wave, marked by its electro sound, and led into golden age hip hop, an innovative period between the mid-1980s and mid-1990s that also developed hip hop's own album era.the gangsta rap subgenre, focused on the violent lifestyles and impoverished conditions of inner-city african american youth, gained popularity at this time.west coast hip hop was dominated by g-funk in the early-mid 1990s, while east coast hip hop was dominated by jazz rap, alternative hip hop, and hardcore hip hop.hip hop continued to diversify at this time with other regional styles emerging, such as southern rap and atlanta hip hop.hip hop became a best-selling genre in the mid-1990s and the top-selling music genre by 1999.the popularity of hip hop music continued through the late 1990s to early-2000s 'bling era' with hip hop influences increasingly finding their way into other genres of popular music, such as neo soul, nu metal, and r&b.the united states also saw the success of regional styles such as crunk, a southern genre that emphasized the beats and music more than the lyrics, and alternative hip hop began to secure a place in the mainstream, due in part to the crossover success of its artists.","hip hop music | stylisticorigin | disco allen forrest | genre | hip hop music hip hop music | stylisticorigin | funk hip hop music | derivative | drum and bass","hip hop music or hip-hop music, also known as rap music and formerly known as disco rap, is a genre of popular music that originated in the bronx borough of new york city in the early 1970s by african americans, and it had been around for years prior before mainstream discovery.this genre of music originated as anti-drug and anti-violence, while consisting of stylized rhythmic music (usually built around drum beats) that commonly accompanies rapping, a rhythmic and rhyming speech that is chanted.it was developed as part of hip hop culture, a subculture defined by four key stylistic elements: mcing/rapping, djing/scratching with turntables, break dancing, and graffiti art.the term hip hop music is sometimes used synonymously with the term rap music, though rapping is not a required component of hip hop music;

1990s with bands such as neurosis, godflesh, and helmet, who transformed metal texture through experimental composition.in a way similar to the predecessor genres post-rock and post-hardcore, post-metal offsets the darkness and intensity of extreme metal with an emphasis on atmosphere, emotion, and even 'revelation', developing an expansive but introspective sound variously imbued with elements of ambient, noise, psychedelic, progressive, and classical music.songs are typically long, with loose and layered structures that discard the verse–chorus form in favor of crescendos and repeating themes.the sound centres on guitars (subjected to various effects) and drums, while any vocals are usually screamed or growled and resemble an additional instrument.post-metal is related to other experimental styles of metal: avant-garde metal, drone metal, progressive metal, and industrial metal.it has also been called metalgaze and art metal, highlighting its connection to shoegaze (an indie music style related to post-rock) and art music, respectively.contemporary post-metal, pioneered by diverse groups such as isis, agalloch, boris, pelican, jesu, wolves in the throne room, and russian circles, typically employs the deep heaviness of doom metal and sludge metal and/or the dark ferocity of black metal.the widespread acclaim of deafheaven, who succeeded alcest in combining black metal and shoegaze (a fusion nicknamed blackgaze), recently made this global post-metal underground scene more visible.helmet's albums meantime (1992) and betty (1994) were also significant, while tool's music was described as post-metal as early as 1993.many of these artists emerged from hardcore punk and post-punk circles but their combination of sonic violence with experimentation and eclecticism made them difficult to categorize under any one genre.as this movement swelled, bands from post-hardcore and experimental backgrounds began to incorporate its tendencies of 'ambience, offbeat experimentation, downcast melodies and psychedelia' into metal.the two genres further converged through the influence of post-rock bands such as mogwai, godspeed you!black emperor, and lift to experience who shared metal's emphasis on loudness.neurosis' third album souls at zero and godflesh's second album pure, both released in 1992, are often retrospectively considered the first post-metal records.godflesh had already pioneered 'sluggish and tortured' industrial metal of their 1989 debut streetcleaner, but pure showcased 'more expansive structures and long stretches of billowing noise', inspiring a number of subsequent bands to combine metal with 'layered washes of sound'.neurosis on the other hand were a hardcore band who embraced doom metal, post-punk and industrial influences, experimenting with texture and dynamics.they have since become recognized 'for their pioneering post-metal efforts and unwavering dedication to expanding their artistic boundaries.'in 2010, guitarist steve von till stated: we always knew there was something deep to neurosis's music, but ...i think souls at zero was when the music became something else.it was taking that material out on the road and losing ourself in the trance states induced by playing hypnotic, super-heavy loud music that we really figured out how to surrender to it.then we said, ok – this is going to take us to where we wanna go: somewhere deeper, somewhere more emotional, somewhere elemental.the band's 1996 fifth album through silver in blood was credited by terrorizer with 'effectively invent[ing] the post-metal genre' and named the best post-metal album of all time by fact.the fluctuating 12-minute song 'purify' has been described as the album's 'signature track'.neurosis' work has also contributed the development of doom metal, sludge metal, and drone metal, and these genres have been associated with post-metal since.similarly, drone metal pioneers earth have been significant to post-metal ever since their 1991 debut release extra-capsular extraction.","post-metal | instrument | cello aaron turner | associatedband/associatedmusicalartist | twilight band aaron turner |

centuries, the kingdoms of japan became unified under an emperor and the imperial court based in heian-kyō.beginning in the 12th century, political power was held by a series of military dictators (shōgun) and feudal lords (daimyō) and enforced by a class of warrior nobility (samurai).after a century-long period of civil war, the country was reunified in 1603 under the tokugawa shogunate, which enacted an isolationist foreign policy.in 1854, a united states fleet forced japan to open trade to the west, which led to the end of the shogunate and the restoration of imperial power in 1868.in the meiji period, the empire of japan adopted a western-modeled constitution and pursued a program of industrialization and modernization.amidst a rise in militarism and overseas colonization, japan invaded china in 1937 and entered world war ii as an axis power in 1941.after suffering defeat in the pacific war and two atomic bombings, japan surrendered in 1945 and came under a seven-year allied occupation, during which it adopted a new constitution.under the 1947 constitution, japan has maintained a unitary parliamentary constitutional monarchy with a bicameral legislature, the national diet.japan is a developed country and a great power.its economy is the world's third-largest by nominal gdp and the fourth-largest by ppp, with its per capita income ranking at 36th highest in the

and electronics industries, the country has made significant contributions to science and technology.it is part of multiple major international and intergovernmental institutions.japan is considered a cultural superpower as the culture of japan is well known around the world, including its art, cuisine, film, music, and popular culture, which encompasses prominent manga, anime and video game industries.before 日本 was adopted in the early 8th century, the country was known in china as wa (倭, changed in japan around 757 to 和) and in japan by the endonym yamato.nippon, the original sino-japanese reading of the characters, is favored for official uses, including on banknotes and postage stamps.nihon is typically used in everyday speech and reflects shifts in japanese phonology during the edo period.the characters 日本 mean 'sun origin', which is the source of the popular western epithet 'land of the rising sun'.the name 'japan' is based on chinese pronunciations of 日本 and was introduced to european languages through early trade.","java | ethnicgroup | javanese people singapore | language | english language ayam penyet | region | singapore ayam penyet | country | java","no

and also most profitable.as a result, the boxy two-door hardtop body design was replaced with a completely different and sleeker coupe model 'to contend with the bull market for plush mid-size coupes that sprang up after the end of the muscle car era'.it also featured a design that was praised by owners along with their complaints about its low roofline.the design of the matador coupe has been described as 'polarizing' as well as being 'an evocative, swoopy coupe that perfectly captured the design ethos of the era.'factory-backed first-generation hardtops and second-generation coupes competed in nascar stock car racing from 1972 through 1975.drivers included mark donohue and bobby allison winning several races including the 1975 southern 500 at darlington.the amc matador captured five first-place wins.matadors in police livery were featured in television shows and movies during the 1970s.the matador coupe was a featured car and also a scale model of it was used as a flying car in the man with the golden gun, a james bond film released in 1974.","amc matador | alternativename | american motors matador amc matador | assembly | mexico city amc matador | bodystyle | station wagon amc matador | engine | amc v8 engine","the amc matador is a series of american automobiles that were manufactured and marketed by american motors corporation (amc) across two generations, 1971–1973 (mid-size) and 1974–1978 (full-size), in two-door hardtop (first generation) and coupe (second generation) versions, as well as in four-door sedan and station wagon body styles.with its second generation, the matador became amc's largest automobile after the ambassador, which shared the same platform, was discontinued after the 1974 model year.abroad, matadors were also marketed under the rambler marque and were assembled under license in costa rica, mexico by vehículos automotores mexicanos (vam), and australia by australian motor industries (ami).with a facelift and a new name, the amc matadors were available as a two-door hardtop, four-door sedan, and station wagon body styles.although related directly to the previous rebel models, amc began promoting the matador as more than a change in name with a slight facelift, to reposition the line in the highly competitive intermediate-car segment among consumers.matadors became popular with government agencies and military units as well as police departments in the u.s. and the sedans and wagons were typically equipped with 360 cu in (5.9 l) or 401 cu in (6.6 l) v8 engines.the amc matador captured five first-place wins.matadors in police livery were featured in television shows and movies during the 1970s."

(amc) across two generations, 1971–1973 (mid-size) and 1974–1978 (full-size), in two-door hardtop (first generation) and coupe (second generation) versions, as well as in four-door sedan and station wagon body styles.the first generation matador was focused on the 'family' market segment and was also offered in performance versions as highlighted in the nascar racing series with factory support from 1972 through 1975.with its second generation, the matador became amc's largest automobile after the ambassador, which shared the same platform, was discontinued after the 1974 model year.premium trim levels of the second generation matador coupe were marketed as the barcelona and oleg cassini (after the noted fashion designer) positioning the coupe in the personal luxury segment.the matador was fairly popular as a police car in the united states, and several television series featured matadors in prominent roles.abroad, matadors were also marketed under the rambler marque and were assembled under license in costa rica, mexico by vehículos automotores mexicanos (vam), and australia by australian motor industries (ami).matadors were also marketed in overseas markets that included exports of right-hand drive versions to the uk.with a facelift and a new name, the amc matadors were available as a two-door hardtop, four-door sedan, and station wagon body styles.the matador shared a modified platform with the full-size ambassador line with a shorter wheelbase.although related directly to the previous rebel models, amc began promoting the matador as more than a change in name with a slight facelift, to reposition the line in the highly competitive intermediate-car segment among consumers.the advertising campaign was built around the question 'what's a matador?'sedan and wagon models 'offered excellent value and were fairly popular' cars.matadors were also offered to fleet buyers with various police, taxicab, and other heavy-duty packages.they outperformed most other cars and 'was adopted as the official police car.'matadors became popular with government agencies and military units as well as police departments in the u.s. and the sedans and wagons were typically equipped with 360 cu in (5.9 l) or 401 cu in (6.6 l) v8 engines.matadors with heavy-duty police equipment were produced from 1971 through 1975.they continued to be in service longer than normal because of favorable field reports.the matador received a redesign in 1974, in part to meet new safety and crash requirements.the most significant change was to the two-door version.the hardtop was the slowest-selling body style in the matador line although it was in a market segment where two-door models were typically the most popular - and also most profitable.as a result, the boxy two-door hardtop body design was replaced with a completely different and sleeker coupe model 'to contend with the bull market for plush mid-size coupes that sprang up after the end of the muscle car era'.it also featured a design that was praised by owners along with their complaints about its low roofline.the design of the matador coupe has been described as 'polarizing' as well as being 'an evocative, swoopy coupe that perfectly captured the design ethos of the era.'factory-backed first-generation hardtops and second-generation coupes competed in nascar stock car racing from 1972 through 1975.drivers included mark donohue and bobby allison winning several races including the 1975 southern 500 at darlington.the amc matador captured five first-place wins.matadors in police livery were featured in television shows and movies during the 1970s.the matador coupe was a featured car and also a scale model of it was used as a flying car in the man with the golden gun, a james bond film released in 1974.","amc matador | alternativename | vam classic amc matador | assembly | kenosha wisconsin amc matador | class | mid-size car amc matador | engine | amc straight-6 engine","the amc

the five main islands being hokkaido, honshu (the 'mainland'), shikoku, kyushu, and okinawa.tokyo is the nation's capital and largest city, followed by yokohama, osaka, nagoya, sapporo, fukuoka, kobe, and kyoto.japan is the eleventh most populous country in the world, as well as one of the most densely populated.about three-fourths of the country's terrain is mountainous, concentrating its highly urbanized population on narrow coastal plains.japan is divided into 47 administrative prefectures and eight traditional regions.the greater tokyo area is the most populous metropolitan area in the world.japan has the world's highest life expectancy, though it is experiencing a population decline.japan has been inhabited since the upper paleolithic period (30,000 bc).between the 4th and 9th centuries, the kingdoms of japan became unified under an emperor and the imperial court based in heian-kyō.beginning in the 12th century, political power was held by a series of military dictators (shōgun) and feudal lords (daimyō) and enforced by a class of warrior nobility (samurai).after a century-long period of civil war, the country was reunified in 1603 under the tokugawa shogunate, which enacted an isolationist foreign policy.in 1854, a united states fleet forced japan to open trade to the west, which led to the end of the shogunate and the restoration of imperial power in 1868.in the meiji period, the empire of japan adopted a western-modeled constitution and pursued a program of industrialization and modernization.amidst a rise in militarism and overseas colonization, japan invaded china in 1937 and entered world war ii as an axis power in 1941.after suffering defeat in the pacific war and two atomic bombings, japan surrendered in 1945 and came under a seven-year allied occupation, during which it adopted a new constitution.under the 1947 constitution, japan has maintained a unitary parliamentary constitutional monarchy with a bicameral legislature, the national diet.japan is a developed country and a great power.its economy is the world's third-largest by nominal gdp and the fourth-largest by ppp, with its per capita income ranking at 36th highest in the

spain.it is one of the most famous monuments of islamic architecture and one of the best-preserved palaces of the historic islamic world, in addition to containing notable examples of spanish renaissance architecture.the complex was begun in 1238 by muhammad i ibn al-ahmar, the first nasrid emir and founder of the emirate of granada, the last muslim state of al-andalus.it was built on the sabika hill, an outcrop of the sierra nevada which had been the site of earlier fortresses and of the 11th-century palace of samuel ibn naghrillah.later nasrid rulers continuously modified the site.the most significant construction campaigns, which gave the royal palaces much of their definitive character, took place in the 14th century during the reigns of yusuf i and muhammad v. after the conclusion of the christian reconquista in 1492, the site became the royal court of ferdinand and isabella (where christopher columbus received royal endorsement for his expedition), and the palaces were partially altered.in 1526, charles v commissioned a new renaissance-style palace in direct juxtaposition with the nasrid palaces, but it was left uncompleted in the early 17th century.after being allowed to fall into disrepair for centuries, with its buildings occupied by squatters, the alhambra was rediscovered following the defeat of napoleon i, whose troops destroyed parts of the site.the rediscoverers were first british intellectuals and then other american and northern european romantic travelers.the most influential of them was washington irving, whose tales of the alhambra (1832) brought international attention to the site.the alhambra was one of the first islamic monuments to become the object of modern scientific study and has been the subject of numerous restorations since the 19th century.it is now one of spain's major tourist attractions and a unesco world heritage site.during the nasrid era, the alhambra was a self-contained city separate from the rest of granada below.it contained most of the amenities of a muslim city such as a friday mosque, hammams (public baths), roads, houses, artisan workshops, a tannery, and a sophisticated water supply system.as a royal city and citadel, it contained at least six major palaces, most of them located along the northern edge where they commanded views over the albaicín quarter.the most famous and best-preserved are the mexuar, the comares palace, the palace of the lions, and the partal palace, which form the main attraction to visitors today.the other palaces are known from historical sources and from modern excavations.at the alhambra's western tip is the alcazaba fortress.multiple smaller towers and fortified gates are also located along the alhambra's walls.outside the alhambra walls and located nearby to the east is the generalife, a former nasrid country estate and summer palace accompanied by historic orchards and modern landscaped gardens.the architecture of the nasrid palaces reflects the tradition of moorish architecture developed over previous centuries.it is characterized by the use of the courtyard as a central space and basic unit around which other halls and rooms were organized.courtyards typically had water features at their center, such as a reflective pool or a fountain.decoration was focused on the inside of the building and was executed primarily with tile mosaics on lower walls and carved stucco on the upper walls.geometric patterns, vegetal motifs, and arabic inscriptions were the main types of decorative motifs.additionally, 'stalactite'-like sculpting, known as muqarnas, was used for three-dimensional features like vaulted ceilings.'the red one' (f.), the complete form of which was الْقَلْعَةُ ٱلْحَمْرَاءُ al-qalʻat al-ḥamrāʼ 'the red

november 5, 1977) is an american musician, singer, graphic artist, and founder of label hydra head records.he is most widely known for his role as guitarist and vocalist for the post-metal bands sumac and isis, while also participating in several other bands and projects such as old man gloom, lotus eaters and split cranium, a collaboration with jussi lehtisalo of finnish band circle who toured with isis in 2009.raised in new mexico, turner moved to the boston area, where he attended art school and formed isis and hydra head.in june 2003, turner moved operations of both the band and label to los angeles, california.turner now resides in vashon, wa which is also the base of operations for hydra head and his various other activities.in partnership with his wife faith coloccia, turner founded another record label, sige, in march 2011.it has gone on to release material from his musical collaboration with coloccia, mamiffer.sige is distributed by the business.at an early age, his family moved to new mexico, where he was raised.his mother was a teacher 'who taught a progressive curriculum' and his father an author, 'mainly [of] non-fiction'.turner describes his upbringing, surrounded by his parents' writer, artist and photographer friends, as 'creatively nurturing'.at age 17, he started a company that sold rare punk rock records via mail-order.he later moved to boston to attend art school at the school of the museum of fine arts, and in 1995 began releasing music.by 1997, the hydra head label was becoming a respectable small record label.turner describes his early industriousness as being motivated in part by boredom: i grew up in new mexico, and there wasn't a whole lot as far as youth culture is concerned.especially when i started to get interested in straight edge and wasn't doing drugs anymore, there was really nothing for me to do.so that was like a big reason for me, i suppose, to become really productive.also, i've never been a really social person.so there's not a lot of time taken up by my social life.and music has always been a very very big part of my life.i guess just a combination of those factors is why everything got started so early.around 1997–99, turner was living with future isis bassist and co-founder jeff caxide; until this point, he had been a member of the bands union suit and hollomen.isis was formed in 1997 out of a dissatisfaction with said bands' musical direction and turner and caxide's respective degrees of creative control.in mid-2009, turner moved from los angeles, where both isis and hydra head records were based at the time, to seattle with his then-girlfriend, faith coloccia; they went on to wed in september of the same year.he has also acquired a custom guitar from the electrical guitar company (as did fellow isis guitarist michael gallagher).in the past, turner has also used a gibson les paul standard, prs ce24, and has played through sunn, mesa boogie, and mackie amplifiers.when playing with isis, turner and his fellow guitarists usually tuned their instruments (low to high) b-f#-b-e-g#-b, to achieve a heavier sound.they also used other tunings, though less frequently, such as f# (octave below)-f#-b-e-g#-b.in 2016, turner described the live rig he used with sumac as consisting of two custom-built guitars from the electrical guitar company.both have lucite bodies and aluminum necks, and custom-wound wide frequency range pickups.the newer of the two—a prototype for a signature model—has a slightly flatter fingerboard radius than the older instrument.","aaron turner |

"mexico (spanish: méxico), officially the united mexican states, is a country in the southern portion of north america.it is bordered to the north by the united states; to the south and west by the pacific ocean; to the southeast by guatemala, belize, and the caribbean sea; and to the east by the gulf of mexico.mexico covers 1,972,550 km2 (761,610 sq mi), making it the world's 13th-largest country by area; with a population of over 126 million, it is the 10th-most-populous country and has the most spanish speakers.mexico is organized as a federal republic comprising 31 states and mexico city, its capital.other major urban areas include monterrey, guadalajara, puebla, toluca, tijuana, ciudad juárez, and león.human presence in pre-columbian mexico goes back to 8,000 bce and it went to become one of the world's six cradles of civilization.in particular, the mesoamerican region was home to many intertwined civilizations, including the olmec, maya, zapotec, teotihuacan, and purepecha.last were the aztecs, who dominated the region in the century before european contact.in 1521, the spanish empire and its indigenous allies conquered the aztec empire from its capital tenochtitlan (now mexico city), establishing the colony of new spain.over the next three centuries, spain and the catholic church played an important role, expanding the territory, enforcing christianity and spreading the spanish language throughout.with the discovery of rich deposits of silver in zacatecas and guanajuato, new spain soon became one of the most important mining centers worldwide.wealth coming from asia and the new world contributed to spain's status as a major world power for the next centuries, and brought about a price revolution in western europe.the colonial order came to an end in the early nineteenth century with the war of independence against spain.mexico's early history as an independent nation state was marked by political and socioeconomic upheaval, both domestically and in foreign affairs.the federal republic of central america shortly seceded the country.then two invasions by foreign powers took place: first, by the united states as a consequence of the texas revolt by american settlers, which led to the mexican–american war and huge territorial losses in 1848.after the introduction of liberal reforms in the constitution of 1857, conservatives reacted with the war of reform and prompted france to invade the country and install an empire, against the republican resistance led by liberal president benito juárez, which emerged victorious.the last decades of the 19th century were dominated by the dictatorship of porfirio díaz, who sought to modernize mexico and restore order.however, the porfiriato era led to great social unrest and ended with the outbreak in 1910 of the decade-long mexican revolution (civil war).this conflict led to profound changes in mexican society, including the proclamation of the 1917 constitution, which remains in effect to this day.the remaining war generals ruled as a succession of presidents until the institutional revolutionary party (pri) emerged in 1929.the pri governed mexico for the next 70 years, first under a set of paternalistic developmental policies of considerable economic success.during world war ii mexico also played an important role for the allied war effort.nonetheless, the pri regime resorted to repression and electoral fraud to maintain power, and moved the country to a more us-aligned neoliberal economic policy during the late 20th century.this culminated with the signing of the north american free trade agreement in 1994, which caused a major indigenous rebellion in the state of chiapas.pri lost the presidency for the first time in 2000, against the conservative party (pan).mexico has the world's 15th-largest economy by nominal gdp and the 11th-largest by ppp, with the united states being its largest economic partner.","mexico | leadername | silvano aureoles conejo dessert | dishvariation | cake guadalajara | country | mexico bionico | course | dessert bionico | region | guadalajara","other major urban areas include monterrey, guadalajara, puebla, toluca, tijuana, ciudad juárez, and león.human presence in pre-columbian mexico goes back to 8,000 bce and it went to become one of the world's six cradles of civilization."

"deep submergence vessel nr-1 was a unique united states navy (usn) nuclear-powered ocean engineering and research submarine, built by the electric boat division of general dynamics at groton, connecticut.nr-1 was launched on 25 january 1969, completed initial sea trials 19 august 1969, and was home-ported at naval submarine base new london.nr-1 was the smallest nuclear submarine ever put into operation.the vessel was casually known as 'nerwin' and was never officially named or commissioned.the u.s. navy is allocated a specific number of warships by the u.s. congress, but admiral hyman rickover avoided using one of those allocations for the construction of nr-1 in order to circumvent the oversight that a warship receives from various bureaus.nr-1 had the unique capability to remain at one site and completely map or search an area with a high degree of accuracy, and this was a valuable asset on several occasions.in the 1970s and 1980s, nr-1 conducted numerous classified missions involving recovery of objects from the floor of the deep sea.these missions remain classified and few details have been made public.one publicly acknowledged mission in 1976 was to recover parts of an f-14 that were lost from the deck of an aircraft carrier and sank with at least one aim-54a phoenix air-to-air missile.the secrecy typical of usn submarine operations was heightened by rickover's personal involvement, and he shared details of nr-1 operations only on a need-to-know basis.rickover envisioned building a small fleet of nr-1 type submarines, but only one was built due to budget restrictions.following the loss of the space shuttle challenger in 1986, nr-1 was used to search for, identify, and recover critical parts of the challenger craft.it could remain on the sea floor without resurfacing frequently, and was a major tool for searching deep waters.nr-1 remained submerged and on station even when heavy weather and rough seas hit the area and forced all other search and recovery ships into port.: 65 in october 1994, a survey was done by the nr-1 off the florida straits 65 km southwest of key west where it encountered and explored an uncharted sink hole.on 2 december 1998, an advisory committee approved the name 'nr-1' for the hole.in 1995, robert ballard used the nr-1 and its support ship mv carolyn chouest to explore the wreck of hmhs britannic, the sister ship of rms titanic, which sank off the coast of greece while serving as a hospital ship during world war i.on 25 february 2007, nr-1 arrived in galveston, texas, towed by carolyn chouest, in preparation for an expedition to survey the flower garden banks national marine sanctuary and other sites in the gulf of mexico.nr-1 was deactivated on 21 november 2008 at the u.s. navy submarine base at groton, connecticut, defuelled at portsmouth naval shipyard in kittery, maine, then sent to puget sound naval shipyard to be scrapped.on 13 november 2013, the u.s. navy announced that salvaged pieces of the sub would be put on display at the submarine force library and museum in groton.its features included extending bottoming wheels, three viewing ports, exterior lighting, television and still cameras for color photographic studies, an object recovery claw, a manipulator that could be fitted with various gripping and cutting tools, and a work basket that could be used in conjunction with the manipulator to deposit or recover items in the sea.surface vision was provided by a television periscope permanently installed on a fixed mast in her sail area.: 6  nr-1 had sophisticated electronics, computers, and sonar systems that aided in navigation, communications, and object location and identification.","american submarine nr-1 | shipbeam | 38 m american submarine nr-1 | shiplaunch | 1969-01-25 american submarine nr-1 | topspeed | 8334 american submarine nr-1 | builder | general dynamics electric boat","deep submergence vessel nr-1 was a unique united states navy (usn) nuclear-powered ocean engineering and research submarine, built by the electric boat division of general dynamics at groton, connecticut."

"the philippines ( (listen); filipino: pilipinas), officially the republic of the philippines (filipino: republika ng pilipinas), is an archipelagic country in southeast asia.in the western pacific ocean, it consists of 7,641 islands which are broadly categorized in three main geographical divisions from north to south: luzon, visayas, and mindanao.the philippines is bounded by the south china sea to the west, the philippine sea to the east, and the celebes sea to the south.it shares maritime borders with taiwan to the north, japan to the northeast, palau to the east and southeast, indonesia to the south, malaysia to the southwest, vietnam to the west, and china to the northwest.it is the world's thirteenth-most-populous country, with diverse ethnicities and cultures.manila is the country's capital, and its largest city is quezon city; both are within metro manila.negritos, the archipelago's earliest inhabitants, were followed by waves of austronesian peoples.the adoption of animism, hinduism and islam established island-kingdoms ruled by datus, rajas, and sultans.the arrival of ferdinand magellan, a portuguese explorer leading a fleet for spain, marked the beginning of spanish colonization.in 1543, spanish explorer ruy lópez de villaloboscode: spa promoted to code: es named the archipelago las islas filipinas in honor of philip ii of spain.spanish settlement through mexico, beginning in 1565, led to the philippines becoming ruled by the spanish empire for more than 300 years.catholicism became the dominant religion, and manila became the western hub of trans-pacific trade.the philippine revolution began in 1896, which became entwined with the 1898 spanish–american war.spain ceded the territory to the united states, and filipino revolutionaries declared the first philippine republic.the ensuing philippine–american war ended with the united states controlling the territory until the japanese invasion of the islands during world war ii.after liberation, the philippines became independent in 1946.the unitary sovereign state has had a tumultuous experience with democracy, which included the overthrow of a decades-long dictatorship in a nonviolent revolution.the philippines is an emerging market and a newly industrialized country, whose economy is transitioning from being agricultural to service- and manufacturing-centered.it is a founding member of the united nations, the world trade organization, asean, the asia-pacific economic cooperation forum, and the east asia summit; it is a major non-nato ally of the united states.its location as an island country on the pacific ring of fire and close to the equator makes it prone to earthquakes and typhoons.the philippines has a variety of natural resources and a globally-significant level of biodiversity.eventually, the name 'las islas filipinas' would be used for the archipelago's spanish possessions.: 6  other names, such as 'islas del poniente' (western islands), 'islas del oriente' (eastern islands), ferdinand magellan's name, and 'san lázaro' (islands of st. lazarus), were used by the spanish to refer to islands in the region before spanish rule was established.during the philippine revolution, the malolos congress proclaimed the república filipina (the philippine republic).from the spanish–american war (1898) and the philippine–american war (1899–1902) to the commonwealth period (1935–1946), american colonial authorities referred to the country as the philippine islands (a translation of the spanish name).the united states began changing its nomenclature from 'the philippine islands' to 'the philippines' in the philippine autonomy act and the jones law.the official title 'republic of the philippines' was included in the 1935 constitution as the name of the future independent state, and in all succeeding constitutional revisions.a small number of bones from callao cave potentially represent an otherwise unknown species, homo luzonensis, who lived 50,000 to 67,000 years ago.the oldest modern human remains on the islands are from the tabon caves of palawan, u/th-dated to 47,000 ± 11–10,000 years ago.","philippines | language | arabic philippines | ethnicgroup | zamboangans philippines | officiallanguage | philippine english batchoy | country | philippines philippines | ethnicgroup | chinese filipino","the philippines ( (listen);

"atlas ii was a member of the atlas family of launch vehicles, which evolved from the successful atlas missile program of the 1950s.the atlas ii was a direct evolution of the atlas i, featuring longer first stage tanks, higher-performing engines, and the option for strap-on solid rocket boosters.it was designed to launch payloads into low earth orbit, geosynchronous transfer orbit or geosynchronous orbit.sixty-three launches of the atlas ii, iia and iias models were carried out between 1991 and 2004; all sixty-three launches were successes, making the atlas ii a highly reliable space launch system.the atlas line was continued by the atlas iii, used between 2000 and 2005, and the atlas v which is still in use.additional commercial and u.s. government sales resulted in production increases leading to greater than 60 vehicles being produced and launched.atlas ii was developed from the atlas i and featured numerous upgrades over that vehicle.atlas ii was launched from launch complex 36 at cape canaveral space force station in florida as well as space launch complex 3e at vandenberg space force base in california.all launches were successful.the increased thrust, engine efficiency, and propellant capacity enabled the vehicle to lift payloads of 6,100 pounds (2,767 kg) into geostationary transfer orbit (gto), or more on later atlas ii variants.atlas ii also featured lower-cost electronics, an improved flight computer, and longer propellant tanks than its predecessor, atlas i.the stage was powered by 3 rs-56 rocket engines (derived from the rs-27 main engine of the delta ii rocket) burning 156 t (344,000 lb) of rp-1 and liquid oxygen.the two booster engines were the rs-56-oba variants (the complete assembly of both engines and the aft skirt was referred to as the ma-5a), with high thrust but moderate efficiency.the sustainer (center) engine was the rs-56-osa variant, featuring much less thrust but higher efficiency at high altitudes than the booster engines.the vernier engines used on the first stage of the atlas i (and all previous atlas models) were replaced by a hydrazine-fueled roll control system on atlas ii.this system, mounted on the interstage between the first and second stages, utilized small thrusters to control the vehicle's roll.compared to atlas i, the atlas ii first stage was 2.7 m (8 ft 10 in) taller.the atlas ii was the last atlas rocket to use the 'stage-and-a-half' technique, where it ignited all 3 rs-56 engines at liftoff and then jettisoned the 2 rs-56-oba side engines and their support structure during ascent.the two rs-56-oba engines were integrated into a single unit called the ma-5a and shared a common gas generator.they burned for approximately 164 seconds before being jettisoned, when acceleration reached approximately 5.0-5.5 g. the central sustainer engine on the first stage, an rs-56-osa, would burn for an additional 125 seconds after their jettison.it featured better efficiency at high altitudes than the rs-56-obas.the first stage also had the option to be fitted with 4 castor 4a solid rocket boosters as part of the iias version, each providing an additional 478.3 kn (107,500 lbf) of thrust for 56 seconds.the first two boosters were ignited at liftoff, and the other two were ignited after the first two burnt out.both pairs of boosters were jettisoned shortly after their respective burns.centaur ii featured 2 rl-10a-3-3a engines, burning liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen.it featured propellant tanks 0.9 meters longer than its predecessor, centaur i, giving the stage more propellant and therefore higher performance.due to the super cold propellants inside centaur, foam insulation was installed onto the outer metal skin on the stage to help mitigate propellant boiloff inside the tank.","atlas ii | diameter | 304 m atlas ii | finalflight | 2002-12-05 atlas ii | launchsite | vandenberg air force base atlas ii | launchsite | cape canaveral air force station","atlas ii was developed from the atlas i and featured numerous upgrades over that vehicle.atlas ii was launched from launch complex 36 at cape canaveral space force station in florida as well as space launch complex 3e at vandenberg space force base in california.the increased thrust, engine efficiency, and propellant capacity enabled the vehicle to lift payloads of 6,100 pounds (2,767 kg) into geostationary transfer orbit (gto), or more on later atlas ii variants.atlas ii also featured lower-cost electronics, an improved flight computer, and longer propellant tanks than its predecessor, atlas i."

"the alhambra (, spanish: [aˈlambɾa ]; arabic: الْحَمْرَاء, romanized: al-ḥamrāʼ ) is a palace and fortress complex located in granada, andalusia, spain.it is one of the most famous monuments of islamic architecture and one of the best-preserved palaces of the historic islamic world, in addition to containing notable examples of spanish renaissance architecture.the complex was begun in 1238 by muhammad i ibn al-ahmar, the first nasrid emir and founder of the emirate of granada, the last muslim state of al-andalus.it was built on the sabika hill, an outcrop of the sierra nevada which had been the site of earlier fortresses and of the 11th-century palace of samuel ibn naghrillah.later nasrid rulers continuously modified the site.the most significant construction campaigns, which gave the royal palaces much of their definitive character, took place in the 14th century during the reigns of yusuf i and muhammad v. after the conclusion of the christian reconquista in 1492, the site became the royal court of ferdinand and isabella (where christopher columbus received royal endorsement for his expedition), and the palaces were partially altered.in 1526, charles v commissioned a new renaissance-style palace in direct juxtaposition with the nasrid palaces, but it was left uncompleted in the early 17th century.after being allowed to fall into disrepair for centuries, with its buildings occupied by squatters, the alhambra was rediscovered following the defeat of napoleon i, whose troops destroyed parts of the site.the rediscoverers were first british intellectuals and then other american and northern european romantic travelers.the most influential of them was washington irving, whose tales of the alhambra (1832) brought international attention to the site.the alhambra was one of the first islamic monuments to become the object of modern scientific study and has been the subject of numerous restorations since the 19th century.it is now one of spain's major tourist attractions and a unesco world heritage site.during the nasrid era, the alhambra was a self-contained city separate from the rest of granada below.it contained most of the amenities of a muslim city such as a friday mosque, hammams (public baths), roads, houses, artisan workshops, a tannery, and a sophisticated water supply system.as a royal city and citadel, it contained at least six major palaces, most of them located along the northern edge where they commanded views over the albaicín quarter.the most famous and best-preserved are the mexuar, the comares palace, the palace of the lions, and the partal palace, which form the main attraction to visitors today.the other palaces are known from historical sources and from modern excavations.at the alhambra's western tip is the alcazaba fortress.multiple smaller towers and fortified gates are also located along the alhambra's walls.outside the alhambra walls and located nearby to the east is the generalife, a former nasrid country estate and summer palace accompanied by historic orchards and modern landscaped gardens.the architecture of the nasrid palaces reflects the tradition of moorish architecture developed over previous centuries.it is characterized by the use of the courtyard as a central space and basic unit around which other halls and rooms were organized.courtyards typically had water features at their center, such as a reflective pool or a fountain.decoration was focused on the inside of the building and was executed primarily with tile mosaics on lower walls and carved stucco on the upper walls.geometric patterns, vegetal motifs, and arabic inscriptions were the main types of decorative motifs.additionally, 'stalactite'-like sculpting, known as muqarnas, was used for three-dimensional features like vaulted ceilings.'the red one' (f.), the complete form of which was الْقَلْعَةُ ٱلْحَمْرَاءُ al-qalʻat al-ḥamrāʼ 'the red fortress (qalat)'.","alhambra | owner | p&o company p&o company | location | london alhambra | shipbeam | 83 m alhambra | powertype | humphrys tennant and dykes alhambra | builder | samuda brothers","the alhambra (, spanish: [aˈlambɾa ];

"costa crociere s.p.a. (italian pronunciation: [ˈkɔsta kroˈtʃɛːre]), operating as costa cruises, is an italian cruise line founded in 1948 and organized as a wholly owned subsidiary of carnival corporation & plc since 2000.based in genoa, italy, the cruise line primarily caters to the italian cruise market, but the company's 10 ships, which all sail under the italian flag, provide itineraries sailing to countries globally.in 1924, the company was passed to the founder's sons (federico, eugenio and enrico) and started commercial activities, buying the ship, ravenna.in 1947, the name of the company was changed to linea c. === costa line === in march 1948, passenger services were introduced, beginning with regular services between italy and south america operated by the ship, anna c. the ship departed from genoa and reached buenos aires 16 days after departure.she marked the start of scheduled operations between italy and south america after being the first ocean liner to cross the south atlantic ocean following world war ii.in 1958, costa commissioned their first purpose-built ship, federico c , which provided a liner service between genoa, italy and buenos aires, argentina via rio de janeiro, brazil.in 1959, the company gradually transitioned into offering more pleasure holidays, with trips being offered in the mediterranean and the caribbean regions.the second purpose built ship, eugenio c, debuted in 1966, designed by famous naval architect nicolò costanzi.linea c went on to own 12 more ships by 1980, making the company the owner of the world's largest fleet of passenger ships.in 1986, linea c changed its name to costa cruises and became a cruise-centered business.the line had decided to modernize its fleet by the late 1980s, and ordered two new ships in 1987, which became costa classica and costa romantica entering service in 1991 and 1993 respectively.the line also converted and completely rebuilt two former container ships into costa marina and costa allegra around the same time as ordering the two new ships.costa wanted to create a new upscale european brand for their new ships and launched the short-lived euroluxe brand.the costa victoria debuted in 1996, and was the largest cruise ship ever built in germany at the time, and largest for the costa.it's completion was cost was covered by selling the much loved classic eugenio costa.the costa victoria would be the final ship completed under the costa family brand before the line was taken over by carnival corporation & plc.the ship was scheduled to have a sister, the costa olympia, which was never completed for the line after the shipyards bankruptcy, and instead the uncompleted hull was sold to norwegian cruise line.in march 1997, carnival and airtours plc purchased costa cruises for $300 million, on a 50:50 basis.at the time, costa cruises was the leading european cruise line, with an estimated market share of 19%.they line would also utilize carnival's designer joe farcus, who undertook the interior design, moving away from the contemporary italian style of the previous ships to more themed public spaces similar to carnival cruise line.the first ship delivered under carnival corp management, was costa atlantica in 2000.in 2000, carnival corporation took full control of costa crociere after buying out airtours' 50% interest for $525 million.carnival corporation would transfer older ships from their other brands to costa, with the costa tropicale(former carnival cruise line tropicale) in 2001, and the costa europa (former holland american line westerdam) in 2002.in 2002, carnival corporation and p&o princess cruises merged to form carnival corporation & plc, bringing together both companies' assets under one corporation.","costa crociere | location | genoa aidastella | operator | aida cruises aidastella | builder | meyer werft aidastella | owner | costa crociere","in 1947, the name of the company was changed to linea c. === costa line === in march 1948, passenger services were introduced, beginning with regular services between italy and south america operated by the ship, anna c. the ship departed from genoa and reached buenos aires 16 days after departure.in 1958, costa commissioned their first purpose-built ship, federico c , which provided a liner service between genoa, italy and buenos aires, argentina via rio de janeiro, brazil." "american motors corporation (amc; commonly referred to as american motors) was an american automobile manufacturing company formed by the merger of nash-kelvinator corporation and hudson motor car company on may 1, 1954.at the time, it was the largest corporate merger in u.s. history.american motors' most similar competitors were those automakers that held similar annual sales levels such as studebaker, packard, kaiser motors, and willys-overland.their largest competitors were the big three—ford, general motors, and chrysler.american motors' production line included small cars - the rambler american, which began as the nash rambler in 1950, hornet, gremlin, and pacer; intermediate and full-sized cars, including the ambassador, rambler classic, rebel, and matador; muscle cars, including the marlin, amx, and javelin; and early four-wheel drive variants of the eagle and the jeep wagoneer, the first true crossovers in the u.s. market.regarded as 'a small company deft enough to exploit special market segments left untended by the giants', american motors was widely known for the design work of chief stylist dick teague, who 'had to make do with a much tighter budget than his counterparts at detroit's big three', but 'had a knack for making the most of his employer's investment'.after periods of intermittent independent success, renault acquired a major interest in american motors in 1979, and the company was ultimately acquired by chrysler in 1987.the new corporation would be called the american motors corporation.an earlier corporation with the same name, co-founded by louis chevrolet, had existed in plainfield, new jersey from 1916 through 1922 before merging into the bessemer–american motors corporation.the nash-kelvinator/hudson deal was a straight stock transfer (three shares of hudson listed at 11⅛, for two shares of american motors and one share of nash-kelvinator listed at 17⅜, for one share of american motors) and finalized in the spring of 1954, forming the fourth-biggest auto company in the u.s. with assets of us$355 million and more than $100 million in working capital.the new company retained hudson ceo a.e.barit as a consultant and he took a seat on the board of directors.nash's george w. mason became president and ceo.mason, the architect of the merger, believed that the survival of the u.s.'s remaining independent automakers was dependent on their joining in one multiple-brand company capable of challenging the big three as an equal.the 'frantic 1953–54 ford/gm price war' had a devastating impact on the remaining 'independent' automakers.the reasons for the merger between nash and hudson included helping cut costs and strengthen their sales organizations to meet the intense competition expected from autos' big three.one quick result from the merger was the doubling up with nash on purchasing and production, allowing hudson to cut prices an average of $155 on the wasp line, and up to $204 on the more expensive hornet models.after the merger, amc had its first profitable quarter during the second three months of 1955, earning $1,592,307, compared to a loss of $3,848,667 during the same period in the previous year.mason also entered into informal discussions with james j. nance of packard to outline his strategic vision.interim plans were made for american motors to buy packard ultramatic automatic transmissions and packard v8 engines for certain american motors products.in july 1954, packard acquired studebaker.the new studebaker-packard corporation (s-p) made the new 320 cu in (5.2 l) packard v8 engine and packard's ultramatic automatic transmission available to american motors for its 1955 nash ambassador and hudson hornet models.when mason died in 1954, george w. romney succeeded him.ironically, romney had once been offered nance's job.in 1948, romney received offers from packard for the post of chief operating officer and from nash for the number two position in the company.","american motors | successor | eagle automobile american motors | subsidiary | wheel horse amc matador | manufacturer | american motors american motors | fate | chrysler american motors | keyperson | roy d chapin jr","american motors corporation (amc;

"deep submergence vessel nr-1 was a unique united states navy (usn) nuclear-powered ocean engineering and research submarine, built by the electric boat division of general dynamics at groton, connecticut.nr-1 was launched on 25 january 1969, completed initial sea trials 19 august 1969, and was home-ported at naval submarine base new london.nr-1 was the smallest nuclear submarine ever put into operation.the vessel was casually known as 'nerwin' and was never officially named or commissioned.the u.s. navy is allocated a specific number of warships by the u.s. congress, but admiral hyman rickover avoided using one of those allocations for the construction of nr-1 in order to circumvent the oversight that a warship receives from various bureaus.nr-1 had the unique capability to remain at one site and completely map or search an area with a high degree of accuracy, and this was a valuable asset on several occasions.in the 1970s and 1980s, nr-1 conducted numerous classified missions involving recovery of objects from the floor of the deep sea.these missions remain classified and few details have been made public.one publicly acknowledged mission in 1976 was to recover parts of an f-14 that were lost from the deck of an aircraft carrier and sank with at least one aim-54a phoenix air-to-air missile.the secrecy typical of usn submarine operations was heightened by rickover's personal involvement, and he shared details of nr-1 operations only on a need-to-know basis.rickover envisioned building a small fleet of nr-1 type submarines, but only one was built due to budget restrictions.following the loss of the space shuttle challenger in 1986, nr-1 was used to search for, identify, and recover critical parts of the challenger craft.it could remain on the sea floor without resurfacing frequently, and was a major tool for searching deep waters.nr-1 remained submerged and on station even when heavy weather and rough seas hit the area and forced all other search and recovery ships into port.: 65 in october 1994, a survey was done by the nr-1 off the florida straits 65 km southwest of key west where it encountered and explored an uncharted sink hole.on 2 december 1998, an advisory committee approved the name 'nr-1' for the hole.in 1995, robert ballard used the nr-1 and its support ship mv carolyn chouest to explore the wreck of hmhs britannic, the sister ship of rms titanic, which sank off the coast of greece while serving as a hospital ship during world war i.on 25 february 2007, nr-1 arrived in galveston, texas, towed by carolyn chouest, in preparation for an expedition to survey the flower garden banks national marine sanctuary and other sites in the gulf of mexico.nr-1 was deactivated on 21 november 2008 at the u.s. navy submarine base at groton, connecticut, defuelled at portsmouth naval shipyard in kittery, maine, then sent to puget sound naval shipyard to be scrapped.on 13 november 2013, the u.s. navy announced that salvaged pieces of the sub would be put on display at the submarine force library and museum in groton.its features included extending bottoming wheels, three viewing ports, exterior lighting, television and still cameras for color photographic studies, an object recovery claw, a manipulator that could be fitted with various gripping and cutting tools, and a work basket that could be used in conjunction with the manipulator to deposit or recover items in the sea.surface vision was provided by a television periscope permanently installed on a fixed mast in her sail area.: 6  nr-1 had sophisticated electronics, computers, and sonar systems that aided in navigation, communications, and object location and identification.","american submarine nr-1 | shiplaunch | 1969-01-25 american submarine nr-1

known during early development as taurus ii, is an expendable launch system developed by orbital sciences corporation (now part of northrop grumman) and the pivdenne design bureau to launch the cygnus spacecraft to the international space station as part of nasa's cots and crs programs.able to launch payloads heavier than 8,000 kg (18,000 lb) into low earth orbit, antares is currently the largest rocket operated by northrop grumman.antares launches from the mid-atlantic regional spaceport and made its inaugural flight on april 21, 2013.nasa awarded orbital a commercial orbital transportation services (cots) space act agreement (saa) in 2008 to demonstrate delivery of cargo to the international space station.for these cots missions orbital intends to use antares to launch its cygnus spacecraft.in addition, antares will compete for small-to-medium missions.originally designated the taurus ii, orbital sciences renamed the vehicle antares, after the star of the same name, on december 12, 2011.out of 17 total launches, antares has suffered one failure.during the fifth launch on october 28, 2014, the rocket failed catastrophically, and the vehicle and payload were destroyed.the rocket's first-stage engines were identified as the cause for the failure.a different engine was chosen for subsequent launches, and the rocket had a successful return to flight on october 17, 2016.the antares has flown two major design iterations, the 100 series and 200 series.both series have used a castor 30xl as an upper stage but have differed on the first stage.the 100 series used two kerolox powered aj26 engine in the first stage and launched successfully four times.the 100 series was retired following a launch failure in 2014.the 200 series which first flew in 2016 also featured a kerolox first stage but instead used two rd-181 engine along with other minor upgrades.the 200 series future became uncertain following the russian invasion of ukraine.due to the first stage being produced in ukraine and the engines in russia, future production of the rocket was unable to be continued.as a result northrop grumman entered into an agreement with firefly aerospace to build the first stage of the antares 300 series.northrop also contracted with spacex for 3 falcon 9 launches.a commercial resupply service contract of $1.9 billion for eight flights was awarded in 2008.as of april 2012, development costs were estimated at $472 million.in june 2008, it was announced that the mid-atlantic regional spaceport, formerly part of the wallops flight facility, in virginia, would be the primary launch site for the rocket.launch pad 0a (lp-0a), previously used for the failed conestoga rocket, would be modified to handle antares.wallops allows launches which reach the international space station's orbit as effectively as those from cape canaveral, florida, while being less crowded.the first antares flight launched a cygnus mass simulator.on december 10, 2009, alliant techsystems inc. (atk) test-fired their castor 30 motor for use on the second stage of the antares rocket.in march 2010, orbital sciences and aerojet completed test firings of the aj-26 engines.on february 22, 2013, a hot fire test was successfully performed, the entire first stage being erected on the pad and held down while the engines fired for 29 seconds.as orbital had little experience with large liquid stages and lox propellant, the first stage core was designed and is manufactured in ukraine by kb pivdenne and pivdenmash and includes propellant tanks, pressurization tanks, valves, sensors, feed lines, tubing, wiring and other associated hardware.like the zenit—also manufactured by yuzhmash—the antares vehicle has a diameter of 3.9 m (150 in) with a matching 3.9 m payload fairing.","antares rocket | launchsite | mid-atlantic regional spaceport antares rocket | comparable | delta ii delta ii | countryorigin | united states antares rocket | launchsite | mid-atlantic regional spaceport launch pad 0 mid-atlantic regional spaceport launch pad 0 | associatedrocket | minotaur iv","antares (), known during early development as taurus ii, is an expendable launch system developed by orbital sciences corporation (now part of northrop grumman) and the pivdenne design bureau to launch the cygnus spacecraft to the international space station as part of nasa's cots and crs programs.able to launch payloads heavier than 8,000 kg (18,000 lb) into low earth orbit, antares is currently the largest rocket operated by northrop grumman.antares launches from the mid-atlantic regional spaceport and made its inaugural flight on april 21, 2013.nasa awarded orbital a commercial orbital transportation services (cots) space act agreement (saa) in 2008 to demonstrate delivery of cargo to the international space station.for these cots missions orbital intends to use antares to launch its cygnus spacecraft.out of 17 total launches, antares has suffered one failure.launch pad 0a (lp-0a), previously used for the failed conestoga rocket, would be modified to handle antares.the first antares flight launched a cygnus mass simulator.on december 10, 2009, alliant techsystems inc.

"germany, officially the federal republic of germany, is a country in central europe.it is the second-most populous country in europe after russia, and the most populous member state of the european union.germany is situated between the baltic and north seas to the north, and the alps to the south.its 16 constituent states are bordered by denmark to the north, poland and the czech republic to the east, austria and switzerland to the south, and france, luxembourg, belgium, and the netherlands to the west.the nation's capital and most populous city is berlin and its main financial centre is frankfurt; the largest urban area is the ruhr.various germanic tribes have inhabited the northern parts of modern germany since classical antiquity.a region named germania was documented before ad 100.in 962, the kingdom of germany formed the bulk of the holy roman empire.during the 16th century, northern german regions became the centre of the protestant reformation.following the napoleonic wars and the dissolution of the holy roman empire in 1806, the german confederation was formed in 1815.formal unification of germany into the modern nation-state was commenced on 18 august 1866 with the north german confederation treaty establishing the prussia-led north german confederation later transformed in 1871 into the german empire.after world war i and the german revolution of 1918–1919, the empire was in turn transformed into the semi-presidential weimar republic.the nazi seizure of power in 1933 led to the establishment of a totalitarian dictatorship, world war ii, and the holocaust.after the end of world war ii in europe and a period of allied occupation, in 1949, germany as a whole was organized into two separate polities with limited sovereignty: the federal republic of germany, generally known as west germany, and the german democratic republic, east germany, while berlin de jure continued its four power status.the federal republic of germany was a founding member of the european economic community and the european union, while the german democratic republic was a communist eastern bloc state and member of the warsaw pact.after the fall of communist led-government in east germany, german reunification saw the former east german states join the federal republic of germany on 3 october 1990—becoming a federal parliamentary republic.germany has been described as a great power with a strong economy; it has the largest economy in europe, the world's fourth-largest economy by nominal gdp and the fifth-largest by ppp.as a global power in industrial, scientific and technological sectors, it is both the world's third-largest exporter and importer.as a developed country it offers social security, a universal health care system and a tuition-free university education.germany is a member of the united nations, the european union, the nato, the council of europe, the g7, the g20 and the oecd.it has the third-greatest number of unesco world heritage sites.the german term deutschland, originally diutisciu land ('the german lands') is derived from deutsch (cf.dutch), descended from old high german diutisc 'of the people' (from diot or diota 'people'), originally used to distinguish the language of the common people from latin and its romance descendants.this in turn descends from proto-germanic *þiudiskaz 'of the people' (see also the latinised form theodiscus), derived from *þeudō, descended from proto-indo-european *tewtéh₂- 'people', from which the word teutons also originates.ancient humans were present in germany at least 600,000 years ago.the first non-modern human fossil (the neanderthal) was discovered in the neander valley.similarly dated evidence of modern humans has been found in the swabian jura, including 42,000-year-old flutes which are the oldest musical instruments ever found, the 40,000-year-old lion man, and the 35,000-year-old venus of hohle fels.","germany | leadername | stanislaw tillich neptun werft | locationcity | rostock rostock | country | germany a-rosa luna | builder | neptun werft","no related information" "antares (), known during early development as taurus ii, is an expendable launch system developed by orbital sciences corporation (now part of northrop grumman) and the pivdenne design bureau to launch the cygnus spacecraft to the international space station as part of nasa's cots and crs programs.able to launch payloads heavier than 8,000 kg (18,000 lb) into low earth orbit, antares is currently the largest rocket operated by northrop grumman.antares launches from the mid-atlantic regional spaceport and made its inaugural flight on april 21, 2013.nasa awarded orbital a commercial orbital transportation services (cots) space act agreement (saa) in 2008 to demonstrate delivery of cargo to the international space station.for these cots missions orbital intends to use antares to launch its cygnus spacecraft.in addition, antares will compete for small-to-medium missions.originally designated the taurus ii, orbital sciences renamed the vehicle antares, after the star of the same name, on december 12, 2011.out of 17 total launches, antares has suffered one failure.during the fifth launch on october 28, 2014, the rocket failed catastrophically, and the vehicle and payload were destroyed.the rocket's first-stage engines were identified as the cause for the failure.a different engine was chosen for subsequent launches, and the rocket had a successful return to flight on october 17, 2016.the antares has flown two major design iterations, the 100 series and 200 series.both series have used a castor 30xl as an upper stage but have differed on the first stage.the 100 series used two kerolox powered aj26 engine in the first stage and launched successfully four times.the 100 series was retired following a launch failure in 2014.the 200 series which first flew in 2016 also featured a kerolox first stage but instead used two rd-181 engine along with other minor upgrades.the 200 series future became uncertain following the russian invasion of ukraine.due to the first stage being produced in ukraine and the engines in russia, future production of the rocket was unable to be continued.as a result northrop grumman entered into an agreement with firefly aerospace to build the first stage of the antares 300 series.northrop also contracted with spacex for 3 falcon 9 launches.a commercial resupply service contract of $1.9 billion for eight flights was awarded in 2008.as of april 2012, development costs were estimated at $472 million.in june 2008, it was announced that the mid-atlantic regional spaceport, formerly part of the wallops flight facility, in virginia, would be the primary launch site for the rocket.launch pad 0a (lp-0a), previously used for the failed conestoga rocket, would be modified to handle antares.wallops allows launches which reach the international space station's orbit as effectively as those from cape canaveral, florida, while being less crowded.the first antares flight launched a cygnus mass simulator.on december 10, 2009, alliant techsystems inc.

"hip hop music or hip-hop music, also known as rap music and formerly known as disco rap, is a genre of popular music that originated in the bronx borough of new york city in the early 1970s by african americans, and it had been around for years prior before mainstream discovery.this genre of music originated as anti-drug and anti-violence, while consisting of stylized rhythmic music (usually built around drum beats) that commonly accompanies rapping, a rhythmic and rhyming speech that is chanted.according to the professor asante of african american studies at temple university, 'hip hop is something that blacks can unequivocally claim as their own'.it was developed as part of hip hop culture, a subculture defined by four key stylistic elements: mcing/rapping, djing/scratching with turntables, break dancing, and graffiti art.other elements include sampling beats or bass lines from records (or synthesized beats and sounds), and rhythmic beatboxing.while often used to refer solely to rapping, 'hip hop' more properly denotes the practice of the entire subculture.the term hip hop music is sometimes used synonymously with the term rap music, though rapping is not a required component of hip hop music; the genre may also incorporate other elements of hip hop culture, including djing, turntablism, scratching, beatboxing, and instrumental tracks.hip hop as both a musical genre and a culture was formed during the 1970s when block parties became increasingly popular in new york city, particularly among african american youth residing in the bronx.at block parties, djs played percussive breaks of popular songs using two turntables and a dj mixer to be able to play breaks from two copies of the same record, alternating from one to the other and extending the 'break'.hip hop's early evolution occurred as sampling technology and drum machines became widely available and affordable.turntablist techniques such as scratching and beatmatching developed along with the breaks.rapping developed as a vocal style in which the artist speaks or chants along rhythmically with an instrumental or synthesized beat.hip hop music was not officially recorded for play on radio or television until 1979, largely due to poverty during the genre's birth and lack of acceptance outside ghetto neighborhoods.old school hip hop was the first mainstream wave of the genre, marked by its disco influence and party-oriented lyrics.the 1980s marked the diversification of hip hop as the genre developed more complex styles and spread around the world.new school hip hop was the genre's second wave, marked by its electro sound, and led into golden age hip hop, an innovative period between the mid-1980s and mid-1990s that also developed hip hop's own album era.the gangsta rap subgenre, focused on the violent lifestyles and impoverished conditions of inner-city african american youth, gained popularity at this time.west coast hip hop was dominated by g-funk in the early-mid 1990s, while east coast hip hop was dominated by jazz rap, alternative hip hop, and hardcore hip hop.hip hop continued to diversify at this time with other regional styles emerging, such as southern rap and atlanta hip hop.hip hop became a best-selling genre in the mid-1990s and the top-selling music genre by 1999.the popularity of hip hop music continued through the late 1990s to early-2000s 'bling era' with hip hop influences increasingly finding their way into other genres of popular music, such as neo soul, nu metal, and r&b.the united states also saw the success of regional styles such as crunk, a southern genre that emphasized the beats and music more than the lyrics, and alternative hip hop began to secure a place in the mainstream, due in part to the crossover success of its artists.","hip hop music | stylisticorigin | disco allen forrest | birthplace | fort campbell allen forrest | genre | hip hop music hip hop music | stylisticorigin | funk hip hop music | derivative | drum and bass","hip hop music or hip-hop music, also known as rap music and formerly known as disco rap, is a genre of popular music that originated in the bronx borough of new york city in the early 1970s by african americans, and it had been around for years prior before mainstream discovery.this genre of music originated as anti-drug and anti-violence, while consisting of stylized rhythmic music (usually built around drum beats) that commonly accompanies rapping, a rhythmic and rhyming speech that is chanted.it was developed as part of hip hop culture, a subculture defined by four key stylistic elements: mcing/rapping, djing/scratching with turntables, break dancing, and graffiti art.the term hip hop music is sometimes used synonymously with the term rap music, though rapping is not a required component of hip hop music;

"arianespace sa is a french company founded in 1980 as the world's first commercial launch service provider.it undertakes the operation and marketing of the ariane programme.the company offers a number of different launch vehicles: the heavy-lift ariane 5 for dual launches to geostationary transfer orbit, the soyuz-2 as a medium-lift alternative, and the solid-fueled vega for lighter payloads.as of may 2021, arianespace had launched more than 850 satellites in 287 launches over 41 years.the first commercial flight managed by the new entity was spacenet f1 launched on 23 may 1984.arianespace uses the guiana space centre in french guiana as its main launch site.through shareholding in starsem, it can also offer commercial soyuz launches from the baikonur spaceport in kazakhstan.it has its headquarters in évry-courcouronnes, essonne, france.prior to the esa's formation, france had been lobbying for the development of a new european expendable launch system to serve as a replacement for the europa rocket.accordingly, one of the first programmes launched by the esa was the ariane heavy launcher.the express purpose of this launcher was to facilitate the delivery of commercial satellites into geosynchronous orbit.france was the largest stakeholder in the ariane development programme.french aerospace manufacturer aérospatiale served as the prime contractor and held responsibility for performing the integration of all sections of the vehicle, while french engine manufacturer société européenne de propulsion (sep) provided the first, second and third stage engines (the third stage engines were produced in partnership with german aerospace manufacturer mbb).other major companies involved included the french firms air liquide and matra, swedish manufacturer volvo, and german aircraft producer dornier flugzeugwerke.development of the third stage was a major focus point for the project - prior to ariane, only the united states had ever flown a launcher that utilised hydrogen-powered upper stages.immediately following the successful first test launch of an ariane 1 on 24 december 1979, the french space agency centre national d'études spatiales (cnes) and the esa created a new company, arianespace, for the purpose of promoting, marketing, and managing ariane operations.according to arianespace, at the time of its establishment, it was the world's first launch services company.following a further three test launches, the first commercial launch took place on 10 september 1982, which ended in failure as a result of a turbopump having failed in the third stage.the six remaining flights of the ariane 1 were successful, with the final flight occurring during february 1986.as a result of these repeated successes, orders for the ariane launcher quickly mounted up; by early 1984, a total of 27 satellites had been booked to use ariane, which was estimated to be half of the world's market at that time.as a result of the commercial success, after the tenth ariane mission was flown, the esa formally transferred responsibility for ariane over to arianespace.by early 1986, the ariane 1, along with its ariane 2 and ariane 3 derivates, were the dominant launcher on the world market.the ariane 2 and ariane 3 were short-lived platforms while the more extensive ariane 4 was being developed; it was a considerably larger and more flexible launcher that the earlier members of its family, having been intended from the onset to compete with the upper end of launchers worldwide.in comparison, while the ariane 1 had a typical weight of 207 tonnes and could launch payloads of up to 1.7 tonnes into orbit;

"rock music is a broad genre of popular music that originated as 'rock and roll' in the united states in the late 1940s and early 1950s, developing into a range of different styles from the mid-1960s, particularly in the united states and united kingdom.it has its roots in 1940s and 1950s rock and roll, a style that drew directly from the blues and rhythm and blues genres of african-american music and from country music.rock also drew strongly from genres such as electric blues and folk, and incorporated influences from jazz, classical, and other musical styles.for instrumentation, rock has centered on the electric guitar, usually as part of a rock group with electric bass guitar, drums, and one or more singers.usually, rock is song-based music with a 44 time signature using a verse–chorus form, but the genre has become extremely diverse.like pop music, lyrics often stress romantic love but also address a wide variety of other themes that are frequently social or political.rock was the most popular genre of music in the united states and much of the western world from the 1950s to the 2010s.rock musicians in the mid-1960s began to advance the album ahead of the single as the dominant form of recorded music expression and consumption, with the beatles at the forefront of this development.their contributions lent the genre a cultural legitimacy in the mainstream and initiated a rock-informed album era in the music industry for the next several decades.by the late 1960s 'classic rock' period, a number of distinct rock music subgenres had emerged, including hybrids like blues rock, folk rock, country rock, southern rock, raga rock, and jazz rock, many of which contributed to the development of psychedelic rock, which was influenced by the countercultural psychedelic and hippie scene.new genres that emerged included progressive rock, which extended the artistic elements, glam rock, which highlighted showmanship and visual style, and the diverse and enduring subgenre of heavy metal, which emphasized volume, power, and speed.in the second half of the 1970s, punk rock reacted by producing stripped-down, energetic social and political critiques.punk was an influence in the 1980s on new wave, post-punk and eventually alternative rock.from the 1990s, alternative rock began to dominate rock music and break into the mainstream in the form of grunge, britpop, and indie rock.further fusion subgenres have since emerged, including pop-punk, electronic rock, rap rock, and rap metal.some movements were conscious attempts to revisit rock's history, including the garage rock/post-punk revival in the 2000s.since the 2010s, rock has lost its position as the pre-eminent popular music genre in world culture, but remains commercially successful.the increased influence of hip-hop and electronic dance music can be seen in rock music, notably in the techno-pop scene of the early 2010s and the pop-punk-hip-hop revival of the 2020s.rock has also embodied and served as the vehicle for cultural and social movements, leading to major subcultures including mods and rockers in the united kingdom, the hippie movement and the wider western counterculture movement that spread out from san francisco in the us in the 1960s, the latter of which continues to this day.similarly, 1970s punk culture spawned the goth, punk, and emo subcultures.inheriting the folk tradition of the protest song, rock music has been associated with political activism as well as changes in social attitudes to race, sex, and drug use, and is often

music is a broad genre of popular music that originated as 'rock and roll' in the united states in the late 1940s and early 1950s, developing into a range of different styles from the mid-1960s, particularly in the united states and united kingdom.it has its roots in 1940s and 1950s rock and roll, a style that drew directly from the blues and rhythm and blues genres of african-american music and from country music.rock also drew strongly from genres such as electric blues and folk, and incorporated influences from jazz, classical, and other musical styles.usually, rock is song-based music with a 44 time signature using a verse–chorus form, but the genre has become extremely diverse.like pop music, lyrics often stress romantic love but also address a wide variety of other themes that are frequently social or political.rock was the most popular genre of music in the united states and much of the western world from the 1950s to the 2010s.rock musicians in the mid-1960s began to advance the album ahead of the single as the dominant form of recorded music expression and consumption, with the beatles at the forefront of this development.their contributions lent the genre a cultural legitimacy in the mainstream and initiated a rock-informed album era in the music industry for the next several decades.by the late 1960s 'classic rock' period, a number of distinct rock music subgenres had emerged, including hybrids like blues rock, folk rock, country rock, southern rock, raga rock, and jazz rock, many of which contributed to the development of psychedelic rock, which was influenced by the countercultural psychedelic and hippie scene.from the 1990s, alternative rock began to dominate rock music and break into the mainstream in the form of grunge, britpop, and indie rock.since the 2010s, rock has lost its position as the pre-eminent popular music genre in world culture, but remains commercially successful.the increased influence of hip-hop and electronic dance music can be seen in rock music, notably in the techno-pop scene of the early 2010s and the pop-punk-hip-hop revival of the 2020s.inheriting the folk tradition of the protest song, rock music has been associated with political activism as well as changes in social attitudes to race, sex, and drug use, and is often seen as an expression of youth revolt against adult consumerism and conformity." "monocacy national battlefield is a unit of the national park service, the site of the battle of monocacy in the american civil war fought on july 9, 1864.the battlefield straddles the monocacy river southeast of the city of frederick, maryland.the battle, labeled 'the battle that saved washington,' was one of the last the confederates would carry out in union territory.the two opposing leaders were general jubal early, fighting for the south, and general lew wallace, fighting for the north.it is located on present-day maryland route 355 (urbana pike) a few miles southeast of the city of frederick.nearby interstate 70 leads westward to antietam national battlefield and u.s. route 15 leads northward to the gettysburg battlefield.to the south on u.s. 15 is the battlefield of balls bluff.monocacy national battlefield is 50 miles (80 km) west of baltimore and 44 miles (71 km) northwest of washington d.c. == history == much of the monocacy battlefield remained in private hands for over 100 years after the civil war.in 1928, glenn worthington, the owner of a large portion of the northern segment of the battlefield, petitioned congress to create a national military park at monocacy.though the bill passed in 1934, the battlefield languished for nearly 50 years before congress appropriated funds for land acquisition.once funds were secured, 1,587 acres (6 km2) of the battlefield were acquired in the late 1970s and turned over to the national park service for maintenance and interpretation.the historic thomas farm, scene of some of the most intense fighting, was acquired by the national park service in 2001.preservationists lost fights in the 1960s and 1980s when interstate 270 was constructed and later widened, bisecting a portion of the battlefield.in the decades following the battle, a few veterans organizations placed commemorative markers to specific units on the battlefield, including the 14th new jersey (dedicated in 1907), 87th pennsylvania infantry, and vermont markers.in the years that have followed, other monuments have been added, including the confederate monument and maryland centennial monument near the best farm (the site where union soldiers discovered robert e. lee's lost special order 191 during the 1862 maryland campaign).the national park service has since added wayside interpretive markers throughout the park.the visitor center has been relocated from the historic gambrill mill to a new facility on the west side of the monocacy river.it offers an electric map orientation program, an interactive computer program, interpretive displays, and artifacts of the battle.the visitor center is the starting point for a self-guided four-mile (6 km) auto tour and 1⁄2 mile (800 m) loop walking trail.national park service rangers and volunteers host battle walks, special programs, an auto tour and special events throughout the summer season.the interpretive worthington farm trail, a pair of loops (one nearly two miles (3.2 km) long, the other 1.6 miles (2.6 km)) on the northern portion of the battlefield, allows the visitor to walk parts of the battlefield and explore the native flora of the region.the national park service has recently established a general management plan to further interpret the area and acquire additional land if funding can be secured.in 2013, preservation maryland placed the monocacy national battlefield on its list of threatened historic properties.","monocacy national battlefield | location | frederick county maryland 14th new jersey volunteer infantry monument | established | 1907-07-11 14th new jersey volunteer infantry monument | district | monocacy national battlefield monocacy national battlefield | nearestcity | frederick maryland","the battlefield straddles the monocacy river southeast of the city of frederick, maryland.in the decades following the battle, a few veterans organizations placed commemorative markers to specific units on the battlefield, including the 14th new jersey (dedicated in 1907), 87th pennsylvania infantry, and vermont markers.the visitor center has been relocated from the historic gambrill mill to a new facility on the west side of the monocacy river.national park service rangers and volunteers host battle walks, special programs, an auto tour and special events throughout the summer season.in 2013, preservation maryland placed the monocacy national battlefield on its list of threatened historic properties." "an island or isle is a piece of subcontinental land completely surrounded by water.very small islands such as emergent land features on atolls can be called islets, skerries, cays or keys.an island in a river or a lake island may be called an eyot or ait, and a small island off the coast may be called a holm.sedimentary islands in the ganges delta are called chars.a grouping of geographically or geologically related islands, such as the philippines, is referred to as an archipelago.there are two main types of islands in the sea: continental islands and oceanic islands.there are also artificial islands (man-made islands).there are about 900,000 official islands in the world.this number consists of all the officially-reported islands of each country.the total number of islands in the world is unknown.there may be hundreds of thousands of tiny islands that are unknown and uncounted.the number of sea islands in the world is estimated to be more than 200,000.the total area of the world's sea islands is approx.9,963,000 sq km, which is similar to the area of canada and accounts for roughly 1/15 (or 6.7%) of the total land area of earth.dutch eiland ('island'), german eiland ('small island')).however, the spelling of the word was modified in the 15th century because of a false etymology caused by an incorrect association with the etymologically unrelated old french loanword isle, which itself comes from the latin word insula.old english ieg is actually a cognate of swedish ö and german aue, and related to latin aqua (water).continents are often considered to be the largest landmass of a particular continental plate; this holds true for australia, which sits on its own continental lithosphere and tectonic plate (the australian plate).by contrast, islands are usually seen as being extensions of the oceanic crust (e.g.volcanic islands), or as belonging to a continental plate containing a larger landmass (continental islands); the latter is the case of greenland, which sits on the north american plate.examples are borneo, java, sumatra, sakhalin, taiwan and hainan off asia; new guinea, tasmania, and kangaroo island off australia; great britain, ireland, and sicily off europe; greenland, newfoundland, long island, and sable island off north america; and barbados, the falkland islands, and trinidad off south america.examples are madagascar and socotra off africa, new caledonia, new zealand, and some of the seychelles.if this island has a seashore as well as being encircled by two river systems, it becomes what might be called a subcontinental island.the one formed by wollaston lake is very large, about 2,000,000 km2 (770,000 sq mi).this includes: barrier islands, which are accumulations of sand deposited by sea currents on the continental shelves fluvial or alluvial islands formed in river deltas or midstream within large rivers.while some are transitory and may disappear if the volume or speed of the current changes, others are stable and long-lived.other definitions limit the term to only refer to islands with no past geological connections to a continental landmass.the vast majority are volcanic in origin, such as saint helena in the south atlantic ocean.the few oceanic islands that are not volcanic are tectonic in origin and arise where plate movements have lifted up the ocean floor above the surface.examples are the saint peter and saint paul archipelago in the north atlantic ocean and macquarie island in the south pacific ocean.these islands arise from volcanoes where the subduction of one plate under another is occurring.examples are the aleutian islands, the mariana islands, and most of tonga in the pacific ocean.","finland | demonym | finns finland | language | sami languages finland | leadername | juha sipilä aleksey chirikov icebreaker | builder | finland aleksey chirikov icebreaker | builder | arctech helsinki shipyard","no related information" "turkey (turkish: türkiye, pronounced [ˈtyɾcije]), officially the republic of türkiye (turkish: türkiye cumhuriyeti [ˈtyɾcije dʒumˈhuːɾijeti] (listen)), is a transcontinental country located mainly on the anatolian peninsula in western asia, with a small portion on the balkan peninsula in southeast europe.it borders the black sea to the north;

"apollo 1, initially designated as-204, was the first crewed mission of the apollo program, the american undertaking to land the first man on the moon.it was planned to launch on february 21, 1967, as the first low earth orbital test of the apollo command and service module.the mission never flew; a cabin fire during a launch rehearsal test at cape kennedy air force station launch complex 34 on january 27 killed all three crew members—command pilot gus grissom, senior pilot ed white, and pilot roger b. chaffee—and destroyed the command module (cm).the name apollo 1, chosen by the crew, was made official by nasa in their honor after the fire.immediately after the fire, nasa convened an accident review board to determine the cause of the fire, and both chambers of the united states congress conducted their own committee inquiries to oversee nasa's investigation.the ignition source of the fire was determined to be electrical, and the fire spread rapidly due to combustible nylon material and the high-pressure pure oxygen cabin atmosphere.rescue was prevented by the plug door hatch, which could not be opened against the internal pressure of the cabin.because the rocket was unfueled, the test had not been considered hazardous, and emergency preparedness for it was poor.during the congressional investigation, senator walter mondale publicly revealed a nasa internal document citing problems with prime apollo contractor north american aviation, which became known as the phillips report.this disclosure embarrassed nasa administrator james e. webb, who was unaware of the document's existence, and attracted controversy to the apollo program.despite congressional displeasure at nasa's lack of openness, both congressional committees ruled that the issues raised in the report had no bearing on the accident.crewed apollo flights were suspended for twenty months while the command module's hazards were addressed.however, the development and uncrewed testing of the lunar module (lm) and saturn v rocket continued.the saturn ib launch vehicle for apollo 1, sa-204, was used for the first lm test flight, apollo 5.the first successful crewed apollo mission was flown by apollo 1's backup crew on apollo 7 in october 1968.as-204 was to test launch operations, ground tracking and control facilities and the performance of the apollo-saturn launch assembly and would have lasted up to two weeks, depending on how the spacecraft performed.the csm for this flight, number 012 built by north american aviation (naa), was a block i version designed before the lunar orbit rendezvous landing strategy was chosen; therefore it lacked the capability of docking with the lunar module.this was incorporated into the block ii csm design, along with lessons learned in block i.block ii would be test-flown with the lm when the latter was ready.director of flight crew operations deke slayton selected the first apollo crew in january 1966, with grissom as command pilot, white as senior pilot, and rookie donn f. eisele as pilot.but eisele dislocated his shoulder twice aboard the kc-135 weightlessness training aircraft, and had to undergo surgery on january 27.slayton replaced him with chaffee, and nasa announced the crew selection on march 21, 1966.james mcdivitt, david scott and russell schweickart were named as the backup crew.on september 29, walter schirra, eisele, and walter cunningham were named as the prime crew for a second block i csm flight, as-205.nasa planned to follow this with an uncrewed test flight of the lm (as-206), then the third crewed mission would be a dual flight designated as-278 (or as-207/208), in which as-207 would launch the first crewed block ii csm, which would then rendezvous and dock with the lm launched uncrewed on as-208.in march, nasa was studying the possibility of flying the first apollo mission as a joint space rendezvous with the final project gemini mission, gemini 12 in november 1966.","apollo 8 | commander | frank borman william anders | was a crew member of | apollo 8 william anders | nationality | united states william anders | birthplace | british hong kong apollo 8 | operator | nasa","the name apollo 1, chosen by the crew, was made official by nasa in their honor after the fire.during the congressional investigation, senator walter mondale publicly revealed a nasa internal document citing problems with prime apollo contractor north american aviation, which became known as the phillips report.this disclosure embarrassed nasa administrator james e. webb, who was unaware of the document's existence, and attracted controversy to the apollo program.nasa planned to follow this with an uncrewed test flight of the lm (as-206), then the third crewed mission would be a dual flight designated as-278 (or as-207/208), in which as-207 would launch the first crewed block ii csm, which would then rendezvous and dock with the lm launched uncrewed on as-208.in march, nasa was studying the possibility of flying the first apollo mission as a joint space rendezvous with the final project gemini mission, gemini 12 in november 1966."

azerbaijani: azərbaycan, [ɑːzæɾbɑjˈdʒɑn]), officially the republic of azerbaijan, is a transcontinental country located at the boundary of eastern europe and western asia.it is a part of the south caucasus region and is bounded by the caspian sea to the east, russia (republic of dagestan) to the north, georgia to the northwest, armenia and turkey to the west, and iran to the south.baku is the capital and largest city.the azerbaijan democratic republic proclaimed its independence from the transcaucasian democratic federative republic in 1918 and became the first secular democratic muslim-majority state.in 1920, the country was incorporated into the soviet union as the azerbaijan ssr.the modern republic of azerbaijan proclaimed its independence on 30 august 1991, shortly before the dissolution of the soviet union in the same year.in september 1991, the ethnic armenian majority of the nagorno-karabakh region formed the self-proclaimed republic of artsakh.the region and seven surrounding districts are internationally recognized as part of azerbaijan, pending a solution to the status of nagorno-karabakh through negotiations facilitated by the osce, although became de facto independent with the end of the first nagorno-karabakh war in 1994.following the second nagorno-karabakh war in 2020, the seven districts and parts of nagorno-karabakh were returned to azerbaijani control.azerbaijan is a unitary semi-presidential republic.it is one of six independent turkic states and an active member of the organization of turkic states and the türksoy community.azerbaijan has diplomatic relations with 182 countries and holds membership in 38 international organizations, including the united nations, the council of europe, the non-aligned movement, the osce, and the nato pfp program.it is one of the founding members of guam, the cis, and the opcw.azerbaijan is also an observer state of the wto.the vast majority of the country's population (97%) is nominally muslim, but the constitution does not declare an official religion and all major political forces in the country are secularist.azerbaijan is a developing country and ranks 91st on the human development index.it has a high rate of economic development, literacy, and a low rate of unemployment.however, the ruling new azerbaijan party, in power since 1993, has been accused of authoritarian leadership under the leadership of both heydar aliyev and his son ilham aliyev, and deteriorating the country's human rights record, including increasing restrictions on civil liberties, particularly on press freedom and political repression.the original etymology of this name is thought to have its roots in the once-dominant zoroastrianism.in the avesta's frawardin yasht ('hymn to the guardian angels'), there is a mention of âterepâtahe ashaonô fravashîm ýazamaide, which literally translates from avestan as 'we worship the fravashi of the holy atropatene'.the name 'atropates' itself is the greek transliteration of an old iranian, probably median, compounded name with the meaning 'protected by the (holy) fire' or 'the land of the (holy) fire'.the greek name was mentioned by diodorus siculus and strabo.over the span of millennia, the name evolved to āturpātākān (middle persian), then to ādharbādhagān, ādhorbāygān, āzarbāydjān (new persian) and present-day azerbaijan.the name azerbaijan was first adopted for the area of the present-day republic of azerbaijan by the government of musavat in 1918, after the collapse of the russian empire, when the independent azerbaijan democratic republic was established.until then, the designation had been used exclusively to identify the adjacent region of contemporary northwestern iran, while the area of the azerbaijan democratic republic was formerly referred to as arran and shirvan.on that basis iran protested the newly adopted country name.during soviet rule, the country was also spelled in latin from the russian transliteration as azerbaydzhan (russian: азербайджа́н).","azerbaijan | capital | baku baku turkish martyrs memorial | dedicatedto | ottoman army soldiers killed in the battle of baku baku turkish martyrs memorial | location | azerbaijan azerbaijan | leadername | artur rasizade azerbaijan | legislature | national assembly azerbaijan","baku is the capital and largest city.the region and seven surrounding districts are internationally recognized as part of azerbaijan, pending a solution to the status of nagorno-karabakh through negotiations facilitated by the osce, although became de facto independent with the end of the first nagorno-karabakh war in 1994.azerbaijan has diplomatic relations with 182 countries and holds membership in 38 international organizations, including the united nations, the council of europe, the non-aligned movement, the osce, and the nato pfp program."

1919.originally senior in precedence to the navy cross, the navy distinguished service medal assumed its current place below the navy cross by congressional action on 7 august 1942.to justify this decoration, exceptional performance of duty must be clearly above that normally expected, and contributes to the success of a major command or project.generally, the distinguished service medal is awarded to officers in principal commands at sea, or in the field, whose service is of a manner to justify the award.however, this does not preclude the award of the navy distinguished service medal to any individual who meets the service requirements.the term 'great responsibility' implies senior military responsibility, and the decoration is normally only bestowed to senior navy flag officers and marine corps general officers, or extremely senior enlisted positions such as the master chief petty officer of the navy or the sergeant major of the marine corps.in rare instances, it has also been awarded to navy captains and marine corps colonels, typically those in positions of significant responsibility in direct support of senior flag and general officers, and then only by exception (usually at retirement).the obverse of the medal depicts an american bald eagle in the center displaying its wings.the eagle holds an olive branch in its right talon and arrows in its left talons.the eagle is surrounded by a blue enameled ring with the words, • united • states • of • america • at the top and • navy • at the bottom.surrounding the blue enamel ring is a gold border of scroll waves

and the navy cross were created by public law 253 on 4 february 1919.originally senior in precedence to the navy cross, the navy distinguished service medal assumed its current place below the navy cross by congressional action on 7 august 1942.generally, the distinguished service medal is awarded to officers in principal commands at sea, or in the field, whose service is of a manner to justify the award.however, this does not preclude the award of the navy distinguished service medal to any individual who meets the service requirements.the obverse of the medal depicts an american bald eagle in the center displaying its wings.the medal is surmounted by a white five-pointed star, point up, the points of the star being tipped with gold balls.in the center of the star is a blue anchor, while gold rays radiate between the arms of the star.the reverse of the medal depicts a trident surrounded by a laurel wreath.like the obverse, the blue enamel ring on the reverse is surrounded by scroll waves.the medal's suspension and service ribbon is navy blue with a single central stripe of yellow.additional awards of the navy distinguished service medal are denoted by gold and silver 5/16 inch stars worn on the medal's suspension and service ribbon."

year at a nearby zipper factory of the g. e. prentice company to earn additional funds for college.ribicoff enrolled at new york university in 1928, then transferred to the university of chicago after the prentice company made him the chicago office manager.while in chicago, ribicoff coped with school and work schedules and was permitted to enter the university's law school before finishing his undergraduate degree.still a student, he married ruth siegel on june 28, 1931; they had two children.ribicoff served as editor of the university of chicago law review in his third year and received an llb cum laude in 1933, being admitted to the connecticut bar the same year.after practicing law in the office of a hartford lawyer, ribicoff set up his practice, first in kensington and later in hartford.from 1941 to 1943 and again from 1945 to 1947 he was the judge of hartford police court.during his political career, ribicoff was a protégé of john moran bailey, the powerful chairman of the

foreign and domestic policies of president harry s. truman's administration.generally liberal in his outlook, he surprised many by opposing a $32 million appropriation for the construction of a dam in

"fc spartak moscow (russian: футбольный клуб «спартак» москва, romanized: futbolʹnyy klub «spartak» moskva, pronounced [spɐrˈtak mɐˈskva]) is a russian professional football club based in moscow.having won 12 soviet championships (second only to dynamo kyiv) and a record 10 russian championships, it is the country's most successful club.they have also won a record 10 soviet cups, 4 russian cups and one russian super cup.spartak have also reached the semi-finals of all three european club competitions.many statesmen saw in the wins of their teams the superiority over the opponents patronising other teams.almost all the teams had such kind of patrons; dynamo moscow aligned with the militsiya, cska moscow with the red army, and spartak, created by a trade union public organization, was considered to be 'the people's team'.the history of the football club and sports society 'spartak' originates from the russian gymnastics society (rgo 'sokol'), which was founded on 16 may 1883.the society was founded under the influence of the pan-slavic 'sokol movement' with the aim of promoting the 'sokolsk gymnastics' and then sports including fencing, wrestling, figure skating, skating, football, hockey, lawn tennis, boxing, skis, athletics, and cycling.in the rgo sokol began to play football in the summer of 1897; the professional football section was founded in the spring of 1909.on 1 august 1920, the football team began to officially act under the name mcs, or moscow sports club.in 1923, the mcs, later named krasnaya presnya (red presnya), was formed by ivan artemyev and involved nikolai starostin, especially in its football team.presnya is a district of moscow renowned for the radical politics of its inhabitants; for example, it represented the centre of the moscow uprising of 1905.the team grew, building a stadium, supporting itself from ticket sales and playing matches across the russian sfsr.as part of a 1926 reorganization of football in the soviet union, starostin arranged for the club to be sponsored by the food workers union and the club moved to the 13,000 seat tomsky stadium, known as pishcheviki.the team changed sponsors repeatedly over the following years as it competed with dinamo moscow, whose 35,000 seat dynamo stadium lay close by.as a high-profile sportsman, starostin came into close contact with alexander kosarev, secretary of the komsomol (communist union of youth) who already had a strong influence on sport and wanted to extend it.in november 1934, with funding from promkooperatsiia, kosarev employed starostin and his brothers to develop his team to make it more powerful.again the team changed its name, this time to 'spartak moscow' (the name spartak means 'spartacus', a gladiator who led an uprising against ancient rome).the club founders, four starostin brothers, played a big role in the formation of the team.the starostins played for the red-whites in the 1930s but right before world war ii they were subjected to repression as the leaders of the most hated team by the state authorities.elder brother nikolai starostin wrote in his books that he had survived in the state prison system due to his participation in football and with spartak (after the political rehabilitation, in 1954, he would later return to the team as the squad's manager).in 1935, starostin proposed the name spartak.it was inspired by the italian novel spartaco, written by raffaello giovagnoli, and means spartacus ('spartak' in russian), a gladiator-slave who led a rebellion against rome.starostin is also credited with the creation of the spartak logo.the same year, the club became a part of newly created spartak sports society.czechoslovak manager antonin fivebr is credited as the first head coach of spartak, though he worked as a consultant in several clubs simultaneously.","fc spartak moscow | chairman | sergey rodionov fc spartak moscow | ground | otkrytiye arena aleksandr prudnikov |

"fc spartak moscow (russian: футбольный клуб «спартак» москва, romanized: futbolʹnyy klub «spartak» moskva, pronounced [spɐrˈtak mɐˈskva]) is a russian professional football club based in moscow.having won 12 soviet championships (second only to dynamo kyiv) and a record 10 russian championships, it is the country's most successful club.they have also won a record 10 soviet cups, 4 russian cups and one russian super cup.spartak have also reached the semi-finals of all three european club competitions.many statesmen saw in the wins of their teams the superiority over the opponents patronising other teams.almost all the teams had such kind of patrons; dynamo moscow aligned with the militsiya, cska moscow with the red army, and spartak, created by a trade union public organization, was considered to be 'the people's team'.the history of the football club and sports society 'spartak' originates from the russian gymnastics society (rgo 'sokol'), which was founded on 16 may 1883.the society was founded under the influence of the pan-slavic 'sokol movement' with the aim of promoting the 'sokolsk gymnastics' and then sports including fencing, wrestling, figure skating, skating, football, hockey, lawn tennis, boxing, skis, athletics, and cycling.in the rgo sokol began to play football in the summer of 1897; the professional football section was founded in the spring of 1909.on 1 august 1920, the football team began to officially act under the name mcs, or moscow sports club.in 1923, the mcs, later named krasnaya presnya (red presnya), was formed by ivan artemyev and involved nikolai starostin, especially in its football team.presnya is a district of moscow renowned for the radical politics of its inhabitants; for example, it represented the centre of the moscow uprising of 1905.the team grew, building a stadium, supporting itself from ticket sales and playing matches across the russian sfsr.as part of a 1926 reorganization of football in the soviet union, starostin arranged for the club to be sponsored by the food workers union and the club moved to the 13,000 seat tomsky stadium, known as pishcheviki.the team changed sponsors repeatedly over the following years as it competed with dinamo moscow, whose 35,000 seat dynamo stadium lay close by.as a high-profile sportsman, starostin came into close contact with alexander kosarev, secretary of the komsomol (communist union of youth) who already had a strong influence on sport and wanted to extend it.in november 1934, with funding from promkooperatsiia, kosarev employed starostin and his brothers to develop his team to make it more powerful.again the team changed its name, this time to 'spartak moscow' (the name spartak means 'spartacus', a gladiator who led an uprising against ancient rome).the club founders, four starostin brothers, played a big role in the formation of the team.the starostins played for the red-whites in the 1930s but right before world war ii they were subjected to repression as the leaders of the most hated team by the state authorities.elder brother nikolai starostin wrote in his books that he had survived in the state prison system due to his participation in football and with spartak (after the political rehabilitation, in 1954, he would later return to the team as the squad's manager).in 1935, starostin proposed the name spartak.it was inspired by the italian novel spartaco, written by raffaello giovagnoli, and means spartacus ('spartak' in russian), a gladiator-slave who led a rebellion against rome.starostin is also credited with the creation of the spartak logo.the same year, the club became a part of newly created spartak sports society.czechoslovak manager antonin fivebr is credited as the first head coach of spartak, though he worked as a consultant in several clubs simultaneously.","fc spartak moscow | chairman | sergey rodionov fc terek grozny | ground | grozny aleksandr prudnikov | club | fc spartak moscow aleksandr prudnikov | club | fc terek grozny fc terek grozny | manager | rashid rakhimov","no related information" "agnes catharina kant (born 20 january 1967) is a retired dutch politician of the socialist party (sp).she was an mp from 1998 to 2010.she was also the parliamentary leader in the house of representatives from 20 june 2008 until 4 march 2010.after suffering major losses in the municipal elections of 3 march 2010, she stepped down as parliamentary group leader and announced she would not be a candidate for re-election in the upcoming national elections.","agnes kant | nationality | netherlands netherlands | leadername | mark rutte socialist party netherlands | colour | red agnes kant | party | socialist party netherlands","agnes catharina kant (born 20 january 1967) is a retired dutch politician of the socialist party (sp)."

senator on perón's labor party ticket, teisaire represented the city of buenos aires, a district normally leaning towards perón's chief opposition, the centrist ucr.teisaire introduced the lions club into argentina in 1954, and received the german order of merit.controversy surrounding the president's in-laws and political violence both by and against his peronist movement dominated headlines in

announced to replace the late vice president, hortensio quijano, and perón nominated teisaire as his candidate for the post.the april 1954 elections increased the peronists' overwhelming majority in congress and elected teisaire vice president by a 30% margin of victory."

"australia, officially the commonwealth of australia, is a sovereign country comprising the mainland of the australian continent, the island of tasmania, and numerous smaller islands.australia is the largest country by area in oceania and the world's sixth-largest country.australia is the oldest, flattest, and driest inhabited continent, with the least fertile soils.it is a megadiverse country, and its size gives it a wide variety of landscapes and climates, with deserts in the centre, tropical rainforests in the north-east, tropical savannas in the north, and mountain ranges in the south-east.the ancestors of aboriginal australians began arriving from south-east asia approximately 65,000 years ago, during the last ice age.arriving by sea, they settled the continent and had formed approximately 250 distinct language groups by the time of european settlement, maintaining some of the longest known continuing artistic and religious traditions in the world.australia's written history commenced with the european maritime exploration of australia.the dutch navigator willem janszoon was the first known european to reach australia, in 1606.in 1770, the british explorer james cook mapped and claimed the east coast of australia for great britain, and the first fleet of british ships arrived at sydney in 1788 to establish the penal colony of new south wales.the european population grew in subsequent decades, and by the end of the 1850s gold rush, most of the continent had been explored by european settlers and an additional five self-governing british colonies established.democratic parliaments were gradually established through the 19th century, culminating with a vote for the federation of the six colonies and foundation of the commonwealth of australia on 1 january 1901.this began a process of increasing autonomy from the united kingdom, highlighted by the statute of westminster adoption act 1942, and culminating in the australia act 1986.australia is a federal parliamentary constitutional monarchy, comprising six states and ten territories.australia's population of nearly 27 million is highly urbanised and heavily concentrated on the eastern seaboard.canberra is the nation's capital, while its most populous city and financial centre is sydney.the next four largest cities are melbourne, brisbane, perth, and adelaide.it is ethnically diverse and multicultural, the product of large-scale immigration, with almost half of the population having one parent born overseas.australia's abundant natural resources and well-developed international trade relations are crucial to the country's economy, which generates its income from various sources including services, mining exports, banking, manufacturing, agriculture and international education.australia ranks amongst the highest in the world for quality of life, health, education, economic freedom, civil liberties and political rights.australia has a highly developed market economy and one of the highest per capita incomes globally.australia is a regional power, and has the world's thirteenth-highest military expenditure.it is a member of international groupings including the united nations; the g20; the oecd; the world trade organization; asia-pacific economic cooperation; the pacific islands forum; the pacific community the commonwealth of nations; and the defence/security organisations anzus, aukus, and the five eyes.it is a major non-nato ally of the united states.several sixteenth century cartographers used the word australia on maps, but not to identify modern australia.when europeans began visiting and mapping australia in the 17th century, the name terra australiscode: lat promoted to code: la was naturally applied to the new territories.until the early 19th century, australia was best known as new holland, a name first applied by the dutch explorer abel tasman in 1644 (as nieuw-hollandcode: nld promoted to code: nl ) and subsequently anglicised.terra australiscode: lat promoted to code: la still saw occasional usage, such as in scientific texts.","austria | leadername | doris bures alfons gorbach | birthplace | austria-hungary alfons gorbach | deathplace | styria austria | language | austrian german alfons gorbach | birthplace | austria","no related information" "ampara hospital is a government hospital in ampara, sri lanka.it is controlled by the central government in colombo.as of 2010 it had 476 beds.the hospital is sometimes called ampara general hospital or ampara district general hospital.","ampara hospital | country | sri lanka sri lanka | leadername | ranil wickremesinghe ampara hospital | state | eastern province sri lanka eastern province sri lanka | governingbody | eastern provincial council sri lanka | capital | sri jayawardenepura kotte","ampara hospital is a government hospital in ampara, sri lanka."

(figc), but nonetheless played several amateur tournament and friendly matches under the denomination o.n.d.chievo, a title imposed by the fascist regime.the club's formal debut in an official league was on 8 november 1931.the team colours at the time were blue and white.chievo disbanded in 1936, however, due to economic woes but returned to play in 1948 after world war ii, being registered in the regional league of seconda divisionecode: ita promoted to code: it (second division).in 1957, the team moved to the field 'carlantonio bottagisio', where they played until 1986.in 1959, after the restructuring of the football leagues, chievo was admitted to play the seconda categoria (second category), a regional league placed next-to-last in the italian football pyramid.that year, chievo changed its name to cardi chievo, after a new sponsor, and was quickly promoted to the prima categoria, from which it experienced its first-ever relegation in 1962.under campedelli's presidency, chievo climbed through the entire italian football pyramid, reaching the serie d after the 1974–75 season.under the name 'paluani chievo', the team was promoted to serie c2 in 1986.as a consequence of

team astonishingly won the serie c1 and was promoted to serie b, where city rival hellas verona was playing at the time.in 1997, after malesani signed for fiorentina, silvio baldini was appointed the new head coach.the following season, with domenico caso as the coach, saw the first dismissal of a coach during the presidency of luca campedelli, with caso being fired and replaced with lorenzo balestro.it was during these years that the nickname 'mussi volanti' ('flying donkeys') was born.it originated from supporters of their crosstown rivals hellas, who would mock long-suffering chievo supporters that chievo will only be promoted if 'donkeys could fly' (equivalent of the english language falsism 'if pigs could fly', denoting an impossible dream).in 2000–01, luigi delneri was signed as coach and led chievo, by virtue of its third-place finish in serie b, to promotion to serie a, the first time in team history that it had reached the top tier of italian football.however, they became the surprise team in the league, playing often spectacular and entertaining football and even leading the league for six consecutive weeks.the club finally ended the season with a highly respectable fifth-place finish, qualifying the team to play in the uefa cup.","ac chievo verona | manager | rolando maran rolando maran | club | fc bari 1908 rolando maran | placeofbirth | italy

volsci in roman mythology.the x-type asteroid is a rare trinary asteroid with two minor-planet moons discovered in 2001 and 2016, respectively.it is elongated in shape and has a short rotation period of 4.8 hours.a large number of rotational lightcurves of have been obtained from photometric observations since the 1980s.best rated results gave a short rotation period of 4.844 hours with a brightness amplitude between 0.32 and 0.53 magnitude.lightcurve analysis indicates that camilla's pole most likely points towards ecliptic coordinates (β, λ) = (+51°, 72°) with a 10° uncertainty, which gives it an axial tilt of 29°.follow-up modeling of photometric data gave similar results.according to the space-based surveys carried out by the japanese akari satellite, the infrared

dutch professional football club from alkmaar and the zaan district.the club plays in the eredivisie, the highest professional football league in the netherlands.az won the eredivisie in 1980–81 and 2008–09.in the same season as their first league title, they also reached the uefa cup final, which they lost to ipswich town.the team has won the knvb cup on four occasions, and one johan cruyff shield.alkmaar '54 was founded as a professional team in april 1954 to play in the 10-team nbvb league, created because the royal dutch football association (knvb) refused to organize a professional league (the knvb took over in 1955).alkmaar '54, and by extension az, played the very first professional match in the netherlands: on 14 august 1954, they won 3–0 at home against venlo '54, with klaas smit scoring the first and third goal.after winning the eerste divisiecode: nld promoted to code: nl in 1960–61, it played one year in the eredivisie.fc zaanstreek had been playing since 1910 as the kooger football club (kfc).kfc had nearly become national champion in 1934 through a narrow loss to ajax in the finals.the team became professional in 1955.in 1964 the professional part of kfc was renamed fc zaanstreek, while the amateurs played on as kfc.also in 1964, the brothers cees and klaas molenaar, former players and trainers for kfc and owners of a growing appliance store chain, sought to create a powerful football team in zaanstreek by merging the two local professional teams: kfc and zaanlandsche football club.after the zfc leadership thwarted this attempt, the molenaars successfully merged fc zaanstreek with alkmaar '54 in 1967.fc zaanstreek had finished 7th and alkmaar '54 12th in 1966–67 eerste divisie.the team would be based in alkmaar, though the second team originally trained and played in koog aan de zaan.in 1972, the molenaar brothers bailed it out and invested heavily in the club, to the point that az '67 were successful in the late 1970s and early '80s, regularly playing european football from 1977 to 1982 while also winning three knvb cups over that period.after four close league campaigns, az finally became dutch champions in 1981, becoming the only team other than the 'big three' of ajax, feyenoordcode: nld promoted to code: nl and psv to do so in a 44-year period spanning from 1965 to 2009 (when az once again won the league title).they

cup, losing 5–4 on aggregate to ipswich town.the next year, in the european cup, they lost in the second round 3–2 on aggregate to liverpool.georg keßler was az's manager over most of these years (1978–82), while star players included: kees kist, the club's highest ever goalscorer with 212 goals and the first ever dutchman to win the european golden boot in 1979 when he scored 34 goals in a

"11264 claudiomaccone, provisional designation 1979 uc4, is a stony background asteroid and binary system from the middle regions of the asteroid belt, approximately 3 kilometers in diameter.it was discovered 16 october 1979, by nikolai chernykh at crimean astrophysical observatory in nauchnyj, on the crimean peninsula.it was named after the italian astronomer claudio maccone.its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.23 and an inclination of 4° with respect to the ecliptic.claudiomaccone comes closer to mars than to the other planets, repeatedly approaching the red planet as close as 0.47 au (70,300,000 km).in 2096 it makes a very rare approach to 65 gm.a first precovery was taken at palomar observatory in 1950, extending the body's observation arc by 29 years prior to its official discovery observation.lightcurve analysis gave a rotation period of 3.1872 hours with a brightness amplitude of 0.15 magnitude (u=n.a.).an identical period with an amplitude of 0.12 magnitude, was also published by petr pravec in 2006.after the binary nature of claudiomaccone was announced (see below), follow-up observations by a group of french, swiss and italian astronomers (including claudio maccone) in 2008 and 2012, gave a period 3.1873 and 3.18701 hours with an amplitude of 0.16 and 0.12 magnitude, respectively (u=2/2+).an identical orbital period is also given by pravec.the discovery was announced in december 2005, and the moon was provisionally designated s/2003 (11264) 1.based on a secondary to primary mean-diameter ratio of larger than 0.31, the moon's diameter is estimated to be at least 1.24 kilometers.its orbit around claudiomaccone has an estimated semi-major axis of 6 kilometers.in his book the sun as a gravitational lens: proposed space missions he proposed the construction and launch of a spacecraft–antenna, called the focal space mission.outside the solar system, at a distance of 550 au, focal could have a significantly better sensitivity detecting radio signals due to the sun's magnifying gravitational lensing effect, as predicted by general relativity.the official naming citation was published on 2 september 2001 (m.p.c.43382; 54279 and *35557).in

noting that new york's albany was a commercial center located at the headwaters of the hudson river, they hoped that their town near the headwaters of the flint would prove to be just as successful.it proved to be nowhere near as prosperous.alexander shotwell laid out the town in 1836, and it was incorporated as a city by an act of the general assembly of georgia on december 27, 1838.tift was the city's leading entrepreneur for decades.an ardent booster, he promoted education, business, and railroad construction.during the civil war he provided naval supplies and helped build two ships.he opposed radical reconstruction inside the state and in congress, and was scornful of the yankee carpetbaggers who came in.historian john fair concludes that tift became 'more southern than many natives.'his pro-slavery attitudes before the war and his support for segregation afterward made him compatible with georgia's white elite.this area was developed for cotton cultivation by planters, who used numerous enslaved african americans to clear lands and process the cotton.as a result of the planters' acquisition of slave workers, by 1840 dougherty county's majority population was black, composed overwhelmingly of slaves.the market center for cotton plantations, albany was in a prime location for shipping cotton to other markets by steamboats.in 1858, tift hired horace king, a former slave and bridge builder, to construct a toll bridge over the river.king's bridge toll house still stands.already important as a shipping port, albany later became an important railroad hub in southwestern georgia.seven lines were constructed to the town.an exhibit on trains is located at the thronateeska heritage center in the former railroad station.in the early years following the war, styles, like tift, took great exception to the radical reconstruction program then in force, and advocated for a more moderate response based on his interpretation of georgia's rights under the constitution.styles backed 'constitutional reconstruction' advanced by benjamin h. hill and sought support for the idea from the national democratic party.while on a trip to atlanta in may 1868, to meet with democratic party leaders, styles took measure of the contemporary atlanta newspapers, and found them lacking.","albany georgia | ispartof | georgia us state united states | leadertitle | president of the united states united states | demonym | americans united states | ethnicgroup | asian americans albany georgia | country | united states","albany ( awl-bə-nee) is a city in the u.s. state of georgia.located in southwest georgia, it is the principal city of the albany, georgia metropolitan area.in 1830 congress passed the indian removal act, and the united states made treaties to extinguish creek and other native american land claims in the southeast.alexander shotwell laid out the town in 1836, and it was incorporated as a city by an act of the general assembly of georgia on december 27, 1838.tift was the city's leading entrepreneur for decades.his pro-slavery attitudes before the war and his support for segregation afterward made him compatible with georgia's white elite.this area was developed for cotton cultivation by planters, who used numerous enslaved african americans to clear lands and process the cotton.already important as a shipping port, albany later became an important railroad hub in southwestern georgia.in the early years following the war, styles, like tift, took great exception to the radical reconstruction program then in force, and advocated for a more moderate response based on his interpretation of georgia's rights under the constitution."

"amarillo ( am-ə-ril-oh; spanish for 'yellow') is a city in the u.s. state of texas and the seat of potter county.it is the 14th-most populous city in texas and the largest city in the texas panhandle.a portion of the city extends into randall county.the estimated population of amarillo was 200,393 as of april 1, 2020.the amarillo-pampa-borger combined statistical area had an estimated population of 308,297 as of 2020.the city of amarillo, originally named oneida, is situated in the llano estacado region.the availability of the railroad and freight service provided by the fort worth and denver city railroad contributed to the city's growth as a cattle-marketing center in the late 19th century.amarillo was once the self-proclaimed 'helium capital of the world' for having one of the country's most productive helium fields.the city is also known as 'the yellow rose of texas' (as the city takes its name from the spanish word for yellow), 'yellow city' for its name, and 'rotor city, usa' for its v-22 osprey hybrid aircraft assembly plant.amarillo operates one of the largest meat-packing areas in the united states.pantex, the only nuclear weapons assembly and disassembly facility in the country, is also a major employer.the location of this facility also gave rise to the nickname 'bomb city'.the attractions cadillac ranch, and big texan steak ranch are located adjacent to interstate 40.u.s. highway 66 also passed through the city.berry and colorado city, texas, merchants wanted to make their new town site the region's main trading center.on august 30, 1887, berry's town site won the county seat election and was established in potter county.availability of the railroad and freight service after the county seat election made the town a fast-growing cattle-marketing center.the settlement originally was called oneida;

"alba iulia (romanian pronunciation: [ˌalba ˈjuli.a] (listen); german: karlsburg or carlsburg, formerly weißenburg; hungarian: gyulafehérvár; latin: apulum) is a city that serves as the seat of alba county in the west-central part of romania.located on the mureș river in the historical region of transylvania, it has a population of 63,536 (as of 2011).during ancient times, the site was the location of the roman camp apulum.since the high middle ages, the city has been the seat of transylvania's roman catholic diocese.between 1526 and 1570 it was the capital of the eastern hungarian kingdom from which the principality of transylvania emerged by the treaty of speyer in 1570 and it was the capital of the principality of transylvania until 1711.at one point it also was a center of the eastern orthodox metropolitan of transylvania with suffragan to vad diocese.on 1 december 1918, the union of transylvania with romania was declared in alba iulia, and the romania's king ferdinand i and queen marie were crowned in the alba iulia orthodox cathedral, in 1922.alba iulia is historically important for romanians, hungarians, and transylvanian saxons.in december 1918, alba iulia was officially declared capital of the great union of romania.the city administers four villages: bărăbanț (borbánd), micești (ompolykisfalud), oarda (alsóváradja), and pâclișa (poklos).when the settlement with its roman ruins became the seat of a dukedom in the 10th century, the population may have been slavic.from the 9th to the 11th centuries, the settlement bore the slavic name bălgrad (meaning 'white castle' or 'white town').the old romanian name of the town was bălgrad, which originated from slavic.the hungarian name gyulafehérvár is a translation of the earlier slavic form, meaning 'white castle of the gyula' meaning 'white city of julius'.the current name, alba iulia, is a romanian translation of that.alba is the romanian feminine form of the word for white, and iulia ('julius') refers to gyula ii, a mid-10th-century hungarian warlord who was baptized in constantinople.among ruthenians, the city was known as bilhorod ('white city').the city's latin name in the 10th century was civitatem albam in ereel.the first part of the name alba denotes the ruins of the roman fort apulum ,the pre-feudal white citadel.later in the middle ages, different names were used: frank episcopus belleggradienesis in 1071, albae civitatis in 1134, belegrada in 1153, albensis ultrasilvanus in 1177, eccl.micahelis in 1199, albe transilvane in 1200, albe transsilvane in 1201, castrum albens in 1206, canonicis albensibus in 1213, albensis eccl.transsylvane in 1219, b. michaelis arch.transsilv.in 1231, alba... civitas in 1242, alba sedes eptus in 1245, alba jula in 1291, feyrvar in 1572, feyérvár in 1574, weissenburg in 1576, belugrad in 1579, gyula feyervár in 1619, gyula fehérvár in 1690 and karlsburg in 1715.under the influence of the hungarian form, gyulafehérvár, the town's latin name eventually became alba julia or alba yulia.its modern name, alba iulia, is an adoption of the town's medieval latin name and started to spread in romanian in ordinary speech in the 18th century.the modern name has been officially used since the town became part of romania.the 16th-century german name was weyssenburg.the saxons later renamed the town to karlsburg (carlsburg) in honour of charles vi (1685–1740).in yiddish and hebrew, karlsburg was prevalent.in ladino, carlosburg was used.alba carolina was also a medieval latin form of its name.after dacia became a province of the roman empire, the capital of dacia apulensis was established here, and the city was known as apulum.apulum was the largest city in roman dacia and was the seat of the xiii gemina legion.","alba iulia | ispartof | alba county romania | capital | bucharest 1 decembrie 1918 university | city | alba iulia 1 decembrie 1918 university | country | romania","alba iulia (romanian pronunciation: [ˌalba ˈjuli.a] (listen);

"english is a west germanic language in the indo-european language family, with its earliest forms spoken by the inhabitants of early medieval england.it is named after the angles, one of the ancient germanic peoples that migrated to the island of great britain.existing on a dialect continuum with scots and then most closely related to the low saxon and frisian languages, modern english is genealogically germanic.although its grammar and core vocabulary are mostly west germanic, it has borrowed many words from french (about 28% of english words) and latin (also about 28%), as well as some grammar and core vocabulary from old norse (a north germanic language).speakers of english are called anglophones.the earliest forms of english, collectively known as old english or 'anglo-saxon', evolved from a group of north sea germanic dialects brought to great britain by anglo-saxon settlers in the 5th century; these dialects generally resisted influence from the then-local common brittonic and british latin languages.however old english dialects were later influenced by old norse-speaking viking settlers and invaders starting in the 8th and 9th centuries.at the time, old norse even retained considerable mutual intelligibility with certain dialects of old english (especially more northern dialects).middle english began in the late 11th century after the norman conquest of england, when considerable old french (especially old norman french) and latin-derived vocabulary was incorporated into english over some three hundred years.early modern english began in the late 15th century with the start of the great vowel shift and the renaissance trend of borrowing further latin and greek words and roots into english, concurrent with the introduction of the printing press to london.this era notably culminated in the king james bible and the works of william shakespeare.the printing press greatly standardised english spelling, which has remained largely unchanged since then, despite a wide variety of later sound shifts in different english dialects.modern english grammar is the result of a gradual change from a typical indo-european dependent-marking pattern with a rich inflectional morphology and relatively free word order to a mostly analytic pattern with little inflection and a fairly fixed subject–verb–object word order.modern english relies more on auxiliary verbs and word order for the expression of complex tenses, aspects and moods, as well as passive constructions, interrogatives, and some negation.modern english has spread around the world since the 17th century as a consequence of the worldwide influence of the british empire and the united states of america.through all types of printed and electronic media in these countries, english has become the leading language of international discourse and the lingua franca in many regions and professional contexts such as science, navigation, and law.english is the most spoken language in the world and the third most spoken native language in the world, after standard chinese and spanish.it is the most widely learned second language and is either the official language or one of the official languages in 59 sovereign states.there are more people who have learned english as a second language than there are native speakers.as of 2005, it was estimated that there were over two billion speakers of english.english is the majority native language in the united kingdom, the united states, canada, australia, new zealand, and the republic of ireland (see anglosphere) and is widely spoken in some areas of the caribbean, africa, south asia, southeast asia, and oceania.it is a co-official language of the united nations, the european union, and many other international and regional organisations.english accounts for at least 70% of speakers of the germanic language branch of the indo-european family.","english language | spokenin | great britain a loyal character dancer | publisher | soho press a loyal character dancer | country | united states united states | ethnicgroup | african americans united states | language | english language","the earliest forms of english, collectively known as old english or 'anglo-saxon', evolved from a group of north sea germanic dialects brought to great britain by anglo-saxon settlers in the 5th century;

"anderson is a city in madison county, indiana, united states.named after chief william anderson, it is the county seat of madison county.the city is the headquarters of the church of god (anderson) and home of anderson university, which is affiliated with the church of god.highlights of the city include the historic paramount theatre and the gruenewald house.the population was 54,788 at the 2020 census.conner later sold the ground to john and sarah berry, who donated 32 acres (13 ha) of their land to madison county on the condition that the county seat be moved from pendleton to anderson.john berry laid out the first plat of anderson on november 7, 1827.in 1828 the seat of justice was moved from pendleton to anderson.the city is named for chief william 'adam' anderson, whose mother was lenape and whose father was of swedish descent.chief anderson's name in lenape was kikthawenund, meaning 'creaking boughs'.the lenape village was known as 'anderson's town', though the moravian missionaries called it 'the heathen town four miles away'.anderson was also known as 'andersonton' before being formally organized as anderson.introduction of internal improvements by the mammoth internal improvement act caused a growth in the population in 1837.in december 1838, anderson was incorporated as a town with 350 inhabitants.the central canal, a branch of the wabash and erie canal, was planned to come through anderson.work continued on the canal during 1838 and the beginning of 1839, but the work was soon suspended by the state following effects of the panic of 1837.the town again became a sleepy village until 1849, when it was incorporated a second time as a town.many new commercial ventures located around the courthouse square.this incorporation was short-lived, and anderson once again went back to village status in 1852.however, with the completion of the indianapolis bellefontaine railroad, as well as their station in 1852, anderson burst to life.the third incorporation of anderson as a town occurred on june 9, 1853.the population continued to increase.on august 28, 1865, with a population of nearly 1,300 people, anderson was incorporated as a city.between 1853 and the late 19th century, twenty industries of various sizes located there.on march 31, 1887, natural gas was discovered in anderson.as the indiana gas boom began, this discovery led new businesses that could use natural gas, such as glass-making, to move to the city.anderson grew to such proportions that a cincinnati newspaper editor labeled the city 'the pittsburgh on white

anderson.charles henry, a large stock holder, coined the term 'interurban' in 1893.it continued to operate until 1941.the year 1912 spelled disaster for anderson: the natural gas ran out.the city had left its gas-powered lights on day and night, and there are stories of a pocket of natural gas being lit in the river and burning for a prolonged period for the spectacle of it.the result of the loss of natural gas was that several factories moved out.the whole city slowed down.the commercial club (formed on november 18, 1905) was the forerunner of the present chamber of commerce.this club persuaded the remy brothers to stay in anderson and others to locate there.for decades, delco remy and guide lamp (later fisher guide), which during world war ii built the m3 submachine gun and the fp-45 liberator pistol for the allies, were the top two employers in the city.","anderson indiana | ispartof | fall creek township madison county indiana fall creek township madison county indiana |

"the atlantic ocean is the second-largest of the world's five oceans, with an area of about 85,133,000 km2 (32,870,000 sq mi).it covers approximately 20% of earth's surface and about 29% of its water surface area.it is known to separate the 'old world' of africa, europe, and asia from the 'new world' of the americas in the european perception of the world.through its separation from africa, europe, and asia from the americas, the atlantic ocean has played a central role in the development of human society, globalization, and the histories of many nations.while the norse were the first known humans to cross the atlantic, it was the 1492 expedition of christopher columbus that proved to be the most consequential.columbus's expedition ushered in an age of exploration and colonization of the americas by european powers, most notably spain, france, portugal, and the united kingdom.from the 16th to 19th centuries, the atlantic ocean was the center of both an eponymous slave trade and the columbian exchange while occasionally hosting naval battles.such naval battles, as well as growing trade from regional american powers like the united states and brazil, both increased in degree during the 20th century, and while no major military conflicts took place in the atlantic in the present 21st century, the ocean remains a core component of trade across the world.the atlantic ocean occupies an elongated, s-shaped basin extending longitudinally between europe and africa to the east, and north and south america to the west.as one component of the interconnected world ocean, it is connected in the north to the arctic ocean, to the pacific ocean in the southwest, the indian ocean in the southeast, and the southern ocean in the south (other definitions describe the atlantic as extending southward to antarctica).the atlantic ocean is divided in two parts, by the equatorial counter current, with the north(ern) atlantic ocean and the south(ern) atlantic ocean split at about 8°n.a. r. 1.211): atlantikôi pelágei (greek: ἀτλαντικῷ πελάγει;

in contrast to the enclosed seas well known to the greeks: the mediterranean and the black sea.in contrast, the term 'atlantic' originally referred specifically to the atlas mountains in morocco and the sea off the strait of gibraltar and the north african coast.the greek word thalassa has been reused by scientists for the huge panthalassa ocean that surrounded the supercontinent pangaea hundreds of millions of years ago.the term 'aethiopian ocean', derived from ancient ethiopia, was applied to the southern atlantic as late as the mid-19th century.during the age of discovery, the atlantic was also known to english cartographers as the great western ocean.the pond is a term often used by british and american speakers in reference to the northern atlantic ocean, as a form of meiosis, or ironic understatement.it is used mostly when referring to events or circumstances 'on this side of the pond' or 'on the other side of the pond', rather than to discuss the ocean itself.","atlanta | areaofland | 3449 square kilometres atlanta | populationdensity | 12990 inhabitants per square kilometre atlanta | areacode | 404 atlanta | ispartof | dekalb county georgia atlanta | areatotal | 3471 square kilometres","no related information" "english is a west germanic language in the indo-european language family, with its earliest forms spoken by the inhabitants of early medieval england.it is named after the angles, one of the ancient germanic peoples that migrated to the island of great britain.existing on a dialect continuum with scots and then most closely related to the low saxon and frisian languages, modern english is genealogically germanic.although its grammar and core vocabulary are mostly west germanic, it has borrowed many words from french (about 28% of english words) and latin (also about 28%), as well as some grammar and core vocabulary from old norse (a north germanic language).speakers of english are called anglophones.the earliest forms of english, collectively known as old english or 'anglo-saxon', evolved from a group of north sea germanic dialects brought to great britain by anglo-saxon settlers in the 5th century; these dialects generally resisted influence from the then-local common brittonic and british latin languages.however old english dialects were later influenced by old norse-speaking viking settlers and invaders starting in the 8th and 9th centuries.at the time, old norse even retained considerable mutual intelligibility with certain dialects of old english (especially more northern dialects).middle english began in the late 11th century after the norman conquest of england, when considerable old french (especially old norman french) and latin-derived vocabulary was incorporated into english over some three hundred years.early modern english began in the late 15th century with the start of the great vowel shift and the renaissance trend of borrowing further latin and greek words and roots into english, concurrent with the introduction of the printing press to london.this era notably culminated in the king james bible and the works of william shakespeare.the printing press greatly standardised english spelling, which has remained largely unchanged since then, despite a wide variety of later sound shifts in different english dialects.modern english grammar is the result of a gradual change from a typical indo-european dependent-marking pattern with a rich inflectional morphology and relatively free word order to a mostly analytic pattern with little inflection and a fairly fixed subject–verb–object word order.modern english relies more on auxiliary verbs and word order for the expression of complex tenses, aspects and moods, as well as passive constructions, interrogatives, and some negation.modern english has spread around the world since the 17th century as a consequence of the worldwide influence of the british empire and the united states of america.through all types of printed and electronic media in these countries, english has become the leading language of international discourse and the lingua franca in many regions and professional contexts such as science, navigation, and law.english is the most spoken language in the world and the third most spoken native language in the world, after standard chinese and spanish.it is the most widely learned second language and is either the official language or one of the official languages in 59 sovereign states.there are more people who have learned english as a second language than there are native speakers.as of 2005, it was estimated that there were over two billion speakers of english.english is the majority native language in the united kingdom, the united states, canada, australia, new zealand, and the republic of ireland (see anglosphere) and is widely spoken in some areas of the caribbean, africa, south asia, southeast asia, and oceania.it is a co-official language of the united nations, the european union, and many other international and regional organisations.english accounts for at least 70% of speakers of the germanic language branch of the indo-european family.","english language | spokenin | great britain united states | language | english language united states | capital | washington dc a severed wasp | country | united states united states | ethnicgroup | native americans in the united states","the earliest forms of english, collectively known as old english or 'anglo-saxon', evolved from a group of north sea germanic dialects brought to great britain by anglo-saxon settlers in the 5th century;

traced back to the 1960s when tracor (now bae systems), a major defense electronics contractor, began operation in the city in 1962.ibm followed in 1967, opening a facility to produce its selectric typewriters.texas instruments setup in austin two years later, motorola (now nxp semiconductors) started semiconductor chip manufacturing in 1974.bae systems, ibm, and nxp semiconductors still have campuses and manufacturing operations in austin as of 2022.a number of fortune 500 companies have headquarters or regional offices in austin, including 3m, advanced micro devices (amd), amazon, apple,

"a wizard of mars is the ninth novel in the young wizards series by diane duane.after being pushed back several times due to internal turmoil at harcourt trade publishers, it was scheduled to be released april 14, 2010, but the distributor shipped it in late march.but not even wizardry is enough to cope with the strange events that start to unfold when the 'bottle' is uncorked and life emerges once more to shake the red planet with its own perilous and baffling brand of magic.the good news however, is that the martians seem friendly.the bad news is that now they're free to pick up where they left off on a long-dormant plan that can change the shape of more than one world... and they don't mind using their well-intentioned rescuers to achieve their goals.kit's long-standing fascination with all things martian unexpectedly enmeshes him in a terrible, age-old conflict—turning him into both a possible key to its solution, and a tool that in the wrong hands shortly threatens the whole human race.only kit has a shot of defusing the threat.but when he vanishes unexpectedly from mars of here and now, his fellow wizards are left uncertain of where his true loyalties lie.nita's determination to find the truth - and kit - soon sends her into a battle against an implacable enemy who may not be conquerable except by violating wizardry's most basic tenets.as the shadow of interplanetary war stretches ever more darkly over both worlds, kit and nita must fight to understand and master the strange and ancient synergy binding them to mars and its last inhabitants... or the history that left mars lifeless will repeat itself on earth.she is still able to work with living things, but her powers are now developing more towards the oracular bend.she has a lot on her shoulders, having to deal with grief after her mother's and ponch's death, as well as her sister dairine, who, after the loss of roshaun is behaving oddly as well as being sullen and unresponsive—and carmela is taunting her about her middle name as well, which she hates, though it gives no reason why.she was initially uninterested in the 'martian thing,' but gets caught up in it quickly as carmela uncovers an ancient prophecy and kit starts acting strangely and then disappears completely.she has several spectacular moments and has to make the most 'active' choices and possibly has the most 'fighting' role in the book, as kit makes choices, as important as nita's but more passive.she starts to have feelings toward kit, though she has no 'soppy' moments.she develops an elemental affinity with water, which proves important later, along with her friendship with the whale wizard s'ree, and uses the gibraltar passthrough (a powerful wizardry developed by the hydromage angelina pellegrino) to save her life, along with several other wizardries, though they cost her vast amounts of energy and power.she duels aurilelde in what is supposed to be to the death, but after defeating her thoroughly, breaks the prophecy which said 'she will slay her rival.'christopher rodriguez christopher 'kit' rodriguez is, throughout the book, obsessed with mars and all things martian.after messing things up a bit too much and getting himself stuck in an ancient version of mars—and inside the martian wizard khretef—he is faced with a difficult decision, which will affect the course of life in the entire solar system: will he save earth or will he save mars?at home, his sister helena has arrived, which makes for a hard time dealing with her wild theories about him and his wizardry.","a wizard of mars | mediatype | hardcover a wizard of mars | numberofpages | 560 a wizard of mars | author | diane duane a wizard of mars | isbn number | 978-0-15-204770-2","a wizard of mars is the ninth novel in the young wizards series by diane duane."

a cabin fire during a launch rehearsal test at cape kennedy air force station launch complex 34 on january 27 killed all three crew members—command pilot gus grissom, senior pilot ed white, and pilot roger b. chaffee—and destroyed the command module (cm).the name apollo 1, chosen by the crew, was made official by nasa in their honor after the fire.immediately after the fire, nasa convened an accident review board to determine the cause of the fire, and both chambers of the united states congress conducted their own committee inquiries to oversee nasa's investigation.the ignition source of the fire was determined to be electrical, and the fire spread rapidly due to combustible nylon material and the high-pressure pure oxygen cabin atmosphere.rescue was prevented by the plug door hatch, which could not be opened against the internal pressure of the cabin.because the rocket was unfueled, the test had not been considered hazardous, and emergency preparedness for it was poor.during the congressional investigation, senator walter mondale publicly revealed a nasa internal document citing problems with prime apollo contractor north american aviation, which became known as the phillips report.this disclosure embarrassed nasa administrator james e. webb, who was unaware of the document's existence, and attracted controversy to the apollo program.despite congressional displeasure at nasa's lack of openness, both congressional committees ruled that the issues raised in the report had no bearing on the accident.crewed apollo flights were suspended for twenty months while the command module's hazards were addressed.however, the development and uncrewed testing of the lunar module (lm) and saturn v rocket continued.the saturn ib launch vehicle for apollo 1, sa-204, was used for the first lm test flight, apollo 5.the first successful crewed apollo mission was flown by apollo 1's backup crew on apollo 7 in october 1968.as-204 was to test launch operations, ground tracking and control facilities and the performance of the apollo-saturn launch assembly and would have lasted up to two weeks, depending on how the spacecraft performed.the csm for this flight, number 012 built by north american aviation (naa), was a block i version designed before the lunar orbit rendezvous landing strategy was chosen; therefore it lacked the capability of docking with the lunar module.this was incorporated into the block ii csm design, along with lessons learned in block i.block ii would be test-flown with the lm when the latter was ready.director of flight crew operations deke slayton selected the first apollo crew in january 1966, with grissom as command pilot, white as senior pilot, and rookie donn f. eisele as pilot.but eisele dislocated his shoulder twice aboard the kc-135 weightlessness training aircraft, and had to undergo surgery on january 27.slayton replaced him with chaffee, and nasa announced the crew selection on march 21, 1966.james mcdivitt, david scott and russell schweickart were named as the backup crew.on september 29, walter schirra, eisele, and walter cunningham were named as the prime crew for a second block i csm flight, as-205.nasa planned to follow this with an uncrewed test flight of the lm (as-206), then the third crewed mission would be a dual flight designated as-278 (or as-207/208), in which as-207 would launch the first crewed block ii csm, which would then rendezvous and dock with the lm launched uncrewed on as-208.in march, nasa was studying the possibility of flying the first apollo mission as a joint space rendezvous with the final project gemini mission, gemini 12 in november 1966.","apollo 12 | backup pilot | alfred worden alan bean | was a crew member of | apollo 12 apollo 12 | operator | nasa alan bean | dateofretirement | june 1981 apollo 12 | commander | david scott alan bean | birthname | alan lavern bean","the name apollo 1, chosen by the crew, was made official by nasa in their honor after the fire.during the congressional investigation, senator walter mondale publicly revealed a nasa internal document citing problems with prime apollo contractor north american aviation, which became known as the phillips report.this disclosure embarrassed nasa administrator james e. webb, who was unaware of the document's existence, and attracted controversy to the apollo program.nasa planned to follow this with an uncrewed test flight of the lm (as-206), then the third crewed mission would be a dual flight designated as-278 (or as-207/208), in which as-207 would launch the first crewed block ii csm, which would then rendezvous and dock with the lm launched uncrewed on as-208.in march, nasa was studying the possibility of flying the first apollo mission as a joint space rendezvous with the final project gemini mission, gemini 12 in november 1966."

"the æsir are the gods of the principal pantheon in old norse religion and norse mythology.the second norse pantheon is the vanir, these two pantheons waged war against each other, resulting in a unified pantheon.in genitival compounds, it takes the form ása-, e.g.in ása-þórr ('thor of the æsir'), besides ás- found in ás-brú 'gods' bridge' (the rainbow), ás-garðr, ás-kunnigr 'gods' kin', ás-liðar 'gods' leader', ás-mogin 'gods' might' (especially of thor), ás-móðr 'divine wrath' etc.landâs 'national god' (patrium numen) is a title of thor, as is allmáttki ás 'almighty god', while it is odin who is 'the' ás.there is also old east norse dialectal *ās-ækia (own: *áss-ekja), i.e.'god ride' (thor riding in his wagon), resulting in the modern swedish word for atmospheric thunder – åska (the form åsekia attested as late as the 17th c.).the feminine form is ásynja (plural ásynjur).the feminine suffix -ynja (proto-norse: -unjō) is known from a few other nouns denoting female animals, such as apynja 'female monkey', vargynja 'she-wolf'.a cognate word for 'goddess' is not attested outside old norse, and a corresponding west germanic word would have been separately derived with the feminine suffixes -inī or -injō.áss is attested in other germanic languages, such as old english ōs (plural ēse), denoting a deity in anglo-saxon paganism, preserved only as a prefix ōs- in personal names (e.g.osborne, oswald) and some place-names, and as the genitive plural ēsa (ēsa gescot and ylfa gescot, 'the shots of anses and of elves', i.e.'elfshot', jaculum divorum et geniorum).in old high german, old dutch and old saxon, the word is only attested in personal and place names, e.g.ansebert, anselm, ansfrid, vihans.the old high german is reconstructed as *ans, plural *ensî.gothic has ans- as reported by jordanes, who wrote in the 6th century ce, presumably a latinized form of actual plural *anseis), as a name for euhemerized semi-divine early gothic rulers.the reconstructed proto-germanic form is *ansuz (plural *ansiwiz).the ansuz rune, ⟨ᚫ⟩, was named after the æsir.*ansuz, itself comes from proto-indo-european *h₂énsus (gen. h₂n̥sóus) 'life force' (cf.avestan aŋhū 'lord; lifetime', ahura 'godhood', sanskrit ásu 'life force', ásura 'demons' ( *h₂n̥suró).it is widely accepted that this word is further related to *h₂ens- 'to engender' (cf.hittite hass- 'to procreate, give birth', tocharian b ās- 'to produce').while other cultures have had 'elder' and 'younger' families of gods, as with the titans versus the olympians of ancient greece, the æsir and vanir were portrayed as contemporaries.the two clans of gods fought battles, concluded treaties, and exchanged hostages (freyr and freyja are mentioned as hostages).an áss like ullr is almost unknown in the myths, but his name is seen in a lot of geographical names, especially in sweden, and may also appear on the 3rd century thorsberg chape, suggesting that his cult was widespread in prehistoric times.the names of the first three æsir in norse mythology, vili, vé and odin all refer to spiritual or mental state, vili to conscious will or desire, vé to the sacred or numinous and óðr to the manic or ecstatic.the vanir appear to have mainly been connected with cultivation and fertility and the æsir were connected with power and war.in the eddas, however, the word æsir is used for gods in general, while asynjur is used for the goddesses in general.for example, in the poem skírnismál, freyr was called 'prince of the æsir'.in the prose edda, njörðr was introduced as 'the third among the æsir', and among the asynjur, freya is always listed second only to frigg.in surviving tales, the origins of many of the æsir are unexplained.","aenir | numberofpages | 233 aenir | author | garth nix aenir | isbn number | 0-439-17684-0 aenir | mediatype | paperback","no related information" "buzz aldrin (;

starts with alcatraz setting fire to his foster parents' kitchen.it is revealed that he has been in countless foster homes, always ending up with alcatraz 'destroying' things precious to the people taking care of him.ms. fletcher, alcatraz's personal caseworker, arrives and scolds him for destroying his foster parents' kitchen.the next day an old man arrives at the house and claims to be his grandfather, telling alcatraz that he has a special, powerful talent, breaking things.after the old man finds alcatraz's bag of sand missing, he and alcatraz must go on a mission to recover it at all cost from the evil librarians, secret rulers of the world.these freedom fighters include alcatraz's grandfather, leavenworth smedry, usually just referred to as 'grandpa smedry'; bastille, grandpa's bodyguard and a crystin knight; sing sing - sing for short - alcatraz's polynesian cousin; and quentin, another cousin.the librarians include shasta / ms. fletcher, alcatraz's case worker and radrian blackburn, a dark oculator.alcatraz has the talent of breaking things.grandpa smedry, alcatraz's grandfather, has the power to arrive late.as such, he is always running behind the clock.but his power also allows him to arrive late to other things, like bullets, which always miss him, and his blood can arrive late to wounds so that he doesn't bleed to death.in his own words 'i've been arriving late to my own death for longer than you've been alive.'sing, alcatraz's cousin's talent is the ability to trip and fall to the ground.this helps when this is a sign of danger.quentin, another cousin, has the talent to speak gibberish or nonsensical phrases.his talent proves beneficial when he is captured by the librarians, as they cannot understand him and thus cannot gain important information from him, even through torture.it is through some of quentin's supposed gibberish that alcatraz is prompted to know what to do in future events.smedrys from ancient days had grand talents, though relatively unexplained.one could get unbelievable amounts of water on the ground when she did the dishes, which allowed her to end a drought.another could make rude noises at inappropriate moments, breaking enemies' concentration so they could not use weapons.if someone not related to the smedrys marries a smedry, the person marrying into the family gets their spouse's talent.a third alcatraz

these dialects generally resisted influence from the then-local common brittonic and british latin languages.however old english dialects were later influenced by old norse-speaking viking settlers and invaders starting in the 8th and 9th centuries.at the time, old norse even retained considerable mutual intelligibility with certain dialects of old english (especially more northern dialects).middle english began in the late 11th century after the norman conquest of england, when considerable old french (especially old norman french) and latin-derived vocabulary was incorporated into english over some three hundred years.early modern english began in the late 15th century with the start of the great vowel shift and the renaissance trend of borrowing further latin and greek words and roots into english, concurrent with the introduction of the printing press to london.this era notably culminated in the king james bible and the works of william shakespeare.the printing press greatly standardised english spelling, which has remained largely unchanged since then, despite a wide variety of later sound shifts in different english dialects.modern english grammar is the result of a gradual change from a typical indo-european dependent-marking pattern with a rich inflectional morphology and relatively free word order to a mostly analytic pattern with little inflection and a fairly fixed subject–verb–object word order.modern english relies more on auxiliary verbs and word order for the expression of complex tenses, aspects and moods, as well as passive constructions, interrogatives, and some negation.modern english has spread around the world since the 17th century as a consequence of the worldwide influence of the british empire and the united states of america.through all types of printed and electronic media in these countries, english has become the leading language of international discourse and the lingua franca in many regions and professional contexts such as science, navigation, and law.english is the most spoken language in the world and the third most spoken native language in the world, after standard chinese and spanish.it is the most widely learned second language and is either the official language or one of the official languages in 59 sovereign states.there are more people who have learned english as a second language than there are native speakers.as of 2005, it was estimated that there were over two billion speakers of english.english is the majority native language in the united kingdom, the united states, canada, australia, new zealand, and the republic of ireland (see anglosphere) and is widely spoken in some areas of the caribbean, africa, south asia, southeast asia, and oceania.it is a co-official language of the united nations, the european union, and many other international and regional organisations.english accounts for at least 70% of speakers of the germanic language branch of the indo-european family.","english language | spokenin | great britain united states | ethnicgroup | asian americans united states | language | english language alcatraz versus the evil librarians | country | united states","the earliest forms of english, collectively known as old english or 'anglo-saxon', evolved from a group of north sea germanic dialects brought to great britain by anglo-saxon settlers in the 5th century;

"azerbaijan (uk: (listen), us: ; azerbaijani: azərbaycan, [ɑːzæɾbɑjˈdʒɑn]), officially the republic of azerbaijan, is a transcontinental country located at the boundary of eastern europe and western asia.it is a part of the south caucasus region and is bounded by the caspian sea to the east, russia (republic of dagestan) to the north, georgia to the northwest, armenia and turkey to the west, and iran to the south.baku is the capital and largest city.the azerbaijan democratic republic proclaimed its independence from the transcaucasian democratic federative republic in 1918 and became the first secular democratic muslim-majority state.in 1920, the country was incorporated into the soviet union as the azerbaijan ssr.the modern republic of azerbaijan proclaimed its independence on 30 august 1991, shortly before the dissolution of the soviet union in the same year.in september 1991, the ethnic armenian majority of the nagorno-karabakh region formed the self-proclaimed republic of artsakh.the region and seven surrounding districts are internationally recognized as part of azerbaijan, pending a solution to the status of nagorno-karabakh through negotiations facilitated by the osce, although became de facto independent with the end of the first nagorno-karabakh war in 1994.following the second nagorno-karabakh war in 2020, the seven districts and parts of nagorno-karabakh were returned to azerbaijani control.azerbaijan is a unitary semi-presidential republic.it is one of six independent turkic states and an active member of the organization of turkic states and the türksoy community.azerbaijan has diplomatic relations with 182 countries and holds membership in 38 international organizations, including the united nations, the council of europe, the non-aligned movement, the osce, and the nato pfp program.it is one of the founding members of guam, the cis, and the opcw.azerbaijan is also an observer state of the wto.the vast majority of the country's population (97%) is nominally muslim, but the constitution does not declare an official religion and all major political forces in the country are secularist.azerbaijan is a developing country and ranks 91st on the human development index.it has a high rate of economic development, literacy, and a low rate of unemployment.however, the ruling new azerbaijan party, in power since 1993, has been accused of authoritarian leadership under the leadership of both heydar aliyev and his son ilham aliyev, and deteriorating the country's human rights record, including increasing restrictions on civil liberties, particularly on press freedom and political repression.the original etymology of this name is thought to have its roots in the once-dominant zoroastrianism.in the avesta's frawardin yasht ('hymn to the guardian angels'), there is a mention of âterepâtahe ashaonô fravashîm ýazamaide, which literally translates from avestan as 'we worship the fravashi of the holy atropatene'.the name 'atropates' itself is the greek transliteration of an old iranian, probably median, compounded name with the meaning 'protected by the (holy) fire' or 'the land of the (holy) fire'.the greek name was mentioned by diodorus siculus and strabo.over the span of millennia, the name evolved to āturpātākān (middle persian), then to ādharbādhagān, ādhorbāygān, āzarbāydjān (new persian) and present-day azerbaijan.the name azerbaijan was first adopted for the area of the present-day republic of azerbaijan by the government of musavat in 1918, after the collapse of the russian empire, when the independent azerbaijan democratic republic was established.until then, the designation had been used exclusively to identify the adjacent region of contemporary northwestern iran, while the area of the azerbaijan democratic republic was formerly referred to as arran and shirvan.on that basis iran protested the newly adopted country name.during soviet rule, the country was also spelled in latin from the russian transliteration as azerbaydzhan (russian: азербайджа́н).","azerbaijan | leader | artur rasizade azerbaijan | capital | baku baku turkish martyrs memorial | material | red granite and white marble baku turkish martyrs memorial | dedicatedto | ottoman army soldiers killed in the battle of baku baku turkish martyrs memorial | location | azerbaijan baku turkish martyrs memorial | designer | hüseyin bütüner and hilmi güner","baku is the capital and largest city."

"monocacy national battlefield is a unit of the national park service, the site of the battle of monocacy in the american civil war fought on july 9, 1864.the battlefield straddles the monocacy river southeast of the city of frederick, maryland.the battle, labeled 'the battle that saved washington,' was one of the last the confederates would carry out in union territory.the two opposing leaders were general jubal early, fighting for the south, and general lew wallace, fighting for the north.it is located on present-day maryland route 355 (urbana pike) a few miles southeast of the city of frederick.nearby interstate 70 leads westward to antietam national battlefield and u.s. route 15 leads northward to the gettysburg battlefield.to the south on u.s. 15 is the battlefield of balls bluff.monocacy national battlefield is 50 miles (80 km) west of baltimore and 44 miles (71 km) northwest of washington d.c. == history == much of the monocacy battlefield remained in private hands for over 100 years after the civil war.in 1928, glenn worthington, the owner of a large portion of the northern segment of the battlefield, petitioned congress to create a national military park at monocacy.though the bill passed in 1934, the battlefield languished for nearly 50 years before congress appropriated funds for land acquisition.once funds were secured, 1,587 acres (6 km2) of the battlefield were acquired in the late 1970s and turned over to the national park service for maintenance and interpretation.the historic thomas farm, scene of some of the most intense fighting, was acquired by the national park service in 2001.preservationists lost fights in the 1960s and 1980s when interstate 270 was constructed and later widened, bisecting a portion of the battlefield.in the decades following the battle, a few veterans organizations placed commemorative markers to specific units on the battlefield, including the 14th new jersey (dedicated in 1907), 87th pennsylvania infantry, and vermont markers.in the years that have followed, other monuments have been added, including the confederate monument and maryland centennial monument near the best farm (the site where union soldiers discovered robert e. lee's lost special order 191 during the 1862 maryland campaign).the national park service has since added wayside interpretive markers throughout the park.the visitor center has been relocated from the historic gambrill mill to a new facility on the west side of the monocacy river.it offers an electric map orientation program, an interactive computer program, interpretive displays, and artifacts of the battle.the visitor center is the starting point for a self-guided four-mile (6 km) auto tour and 1⁄2 mile (800 m) loop walking trail.national park service rangers and volunteers host battle walks, special programs, an auto tour and special events throughout the summer season.the interpretive worthington farm trail, a pair of loops (one nearly two miles (3.2 km) long, the other 1.6 miles (2.6 km)) on the northern portion of the battlefield, allows the visitor to walk parts of the battlefield and explore the native flora of the region.the national park service has recently established a general management plan to further interpret the area and acquire additional land if funding can be secured.in 2013, preservation maryland placed the monocacy national battlefield on its list of threatened historic properties.","monocacy national battlefield | location | frederick county maryland 14th new jersey volunteer infantry monument | established | 1907-07-11 14th new jersey volunteer infantry monument | country | united states 14th new jersey volunteer infantry monument | category | historic districts in the united states 14th new jersey volunteer infantry monument | district | monocacy national battlefield 14th new jersey volunteer infantry monument | state | maryland","the battlefield straddles the monocacy river southeast of the city of frederick, maryland.in the decades following the battle, a few veterans organizations placed commemorative markers to specific units on the battlefield, including the 14th new jersey (dedicated in 1907), 87th pennsylvania infantry, and vermont markers.in the years that have followed, other monuments have been added, including the confederate monument and maryland centennial monument near the best farm (the site where union soldiers discovered robert e. lee's lost special order 191 during the 1862 maryland campaign).the visitor center has been relocated from the historic gambrill mill to a new facility on the west side of the monocacy river.national park service rangers and volunteers host battle walks, special programs, an auto tour and special events throughout the summer season.in 2013, preservation maryland placed the monocacy national battlefield on its list of threatened historic properties."

443 of which have been named and of which 78 are inhabited.spanning a total area of 42,943 km2 (16,580 sq mi), metropolitan denmark consists of the northern part of the jutland peninsula and an archipelago of 406 islands.of these, the most populated island is zealand, on which the capital copenhagen is situated, followed by funen, the north jutlandic island, and amager.denmark's geography is characterised by flat, arable land, sandy coasts, low elevation, and a temperate climate.it had a population of 5.935 million (1 february 2023), of which 800,000 (2 million in the wider area) live in the capital and largest city, copenhagen.denmark exercises hegemonic influence in the danish realm, devolving powers to handle internal affairs.home rule was established in the faroe islands in 1948 and in greenland in 1979;

"alderney airport (iata: aci, icao: egja) is the only airport on the island of alderney, guernsey.built in 1935, alderney airport was the first airport in the channel islands.located on the blaye (1 nm (1.9 km; 1.2 mi) southwest of st anne), it is the closest channel island airport to the south coast of england and the coast of france.its facilities include a hangar, the airport fire station, and avgas refuelling.alderney airport is the base and on-record hub of air alderney, an airline that, as of 2022, has had problems commencing flights since 2017.the main runway, 08/26 is 880 m (2,887 ft) long and is mainly asphalt.the two secondary runways are both grass, 13/31 being 733 m (2,405 ft) long, with 03/21 having a length of 497 m (1,631 ft).the main runway is equipped with low-intensity lighting, with portable lighting being available on runway 13/31.the approach and runway lights were replaced in 2006.alderney is not a 24-hour airport; during winter, it is open monday to saturday from 0740 until 1830 and on sunday from 0840 until 1830.during summer, it is open monday - thursday from 0740 until 1830 and friday - sunday from 0740 until 1920.the airport also has its own non-directional beacon, with runways 08 and 26 utilizing this for instrument approaches during instrument meteorological conditions.both runways also have an approved gps (satellite) approach.this means that aircraft can land in lower visibility.alderney has self-manoeuvring stands.formal stands are not required due to the lack of space to accommodate nose-in-configured aircraft.routes to other destinations such as brighton, bournemouth, cherbourg, exeter, plymouth and jersey were abandoned over the years due to what blue islands, for example, claimed was 'lack of interest'.these routes had been operated on and off by aurigny and blue islands but also alderney air ferries, air sarnia, and air camelot during the 1970s and 1980s.the number of air routes to the island is at its lowest since the second world war except for a brief intermission during the 1967-8 period, when another airline (glos air, later to be aurigny air services) was found to fill the void (see below right).from september 2013, airline aurigny operated direct flights to jersey on a trial basis for a period of six weeks.in april 2015, it was announced that the states of alderney had asked airline citywing to operate a seasonal summer service between alderney and jersey using let l-410 aircraft.however this service has not materialised.in january 2017, a new airline air alderney was set up with the intention of commencing direct flights using britten-norman islander aircraft from alderney to destinations including jersey, cherbourg, lee-on–solent, and brighton.despite considerable progress being made in acquiring aircraft and obtaining an air operator's certificate, to date operations have not yet commenced due to complications regarding ground operations at the intended destination airports.this was to be used to pay for redevelopment of the terminal, which is over 50 years old.during the 2020 covid lockdown, while aircraft movements were low, airport staff refurbished the buildings, including repairs to a leaky flat roof on the 1960s terminal, and patch repaired the runway.the runway was previously resurfaced in 1999 with a surface material having a design life of between 12 and 15 years.a major patch and repair was undertaken on the eastern end of the runway in the autumn of 2016, to provide a short term improvement, but by 2018 it was reported that major work would soon be required for continued safe operations.in 2020 the runway was patched and repaired during covid lockdown by airport staff.on the 4th of july 2022 the states of alderney backed plans to extend the runway from 2,877ft (877m) to about 3,444ft (1,050m) so that larger aircraft such as the atr 72 plane can serve the island giving an additional 20,000 seats per year to help tourism.","alderney airport | 1st runway surfacetype | poaceae alderney airport | runwaylength | 7330 alderney airport | cityserved | alderney alderney airport | elevationabovethesealevel in metres | 880 alderney airport | runwayname | 08/26","alderney airport (iata: aci, icao: egja) is the only airport on the island of alderney, guernsey.built in 1935, alderney airport was the first airport in the channel islands.alderney airport is the base and on-record hub of air alderney, an airline that, as of 2022, has had problems commencing flights since 2017.alderney is not a 24-hour airport;

"bandeja paisa (paisa refers to a person from the paisa region and bandeja is spanish for platter), with variations known as bandeja de arriero, bandeja montañera, or bandeja antioqueña, is one of the most representative meals in colombian cuisine, especially of the antioquia department and the paisa region, as well as with the colombian coffee-growers axis (the departments of caldas, quindío and risaralda), and part of valle del cauca and the northwest of tolima.the main characteristic of this dish is the generous amount and variety of food in a traditional bandeja paisa: red beans cooked with pork, white rice, carne molida (ground meat), chicharrón, fried egg, plantain (plátano maduro), chorizo, arepa, hogao sauce, black pudding (morcilla), avocado and lemon.it is served in a platter or a tray.in the 19th century, french and british colonialists also brought their cuisine with them.the current form and presentation of the paisa platter is relatively recent.there are no references in the food writing about this dish before 1950.it is probably an interpretation of the local restaurants of simpler peasant dishes.one of its most prominent features is the juxtaposition of native american and european ingredients, which is also observed in other mestizo dishes of latin american cuisine, such as venezuelan pabellón criollo or costa rican gallo pinto.side dishes include mazamorra (a maize-derived beverage similar to atole) with milk and ground panela.there are several variants of the dish all over the country with deletion or addition of ingredients, which cannot be recognized as bandeja paisa in the strictest sense.some antioquian restaurants offer an 'extended' bandeja paisa, also known as 'seven meats platter', which contains, besides the aforementioned ingredients, grilled steak, grilled pork and liver.a diet-friendly version of the dish is very popular in bogotá, which replaces pork with grilled chicken breast, black pudding with salad and chorizo with a wiener.a number of people opposed this designation, arguing that only a small percentage of the colombian population consumes it on a regular basis and that it originated in a single region of colombia (antioquia).however, the suggested alternative, sancocho, is not a distinctively colombian dish, as it is known and enjoyed in many other countries, such as cuba, venezuela, the canary islands, puerto rico, the dominican republic and panama.due to the widespread ubiquity of sancocho, often colombian ajiaco is instead considered the most indicative colombian dish.nonetheless, the commercial colombian tourism industry has pushed ahead without official government sanction by emblazoning ads, menus, and brochure information with imagery of the bandeja paisa as the single most typical colombian dish.","bandeja paisa | ingredient | lemon antioquia department | country | colombia lemon | order | rosids lemon | family | rutaceae bandeja paisa | region | antioquia department","bandeja paisa (paisa refers to a person from the paisa region and bandeja is spanish for platter), with variations known as bandeja de arriero, bandeja montañera, or bandeja antioqueña, is one of the most representative meals in colombian cuisine, especially of the antioquia department and the paisa region, as well as with the colombian coffee-growers axis (the departments of caldas, quindío and risaralda), and part of valle del cauca and the northwest of tolima.the main characteristic of this dish is the generous amount and variety of food in a traditional bandeja paisa: red beans cooked with pork, white rice, carne molida (ground meat), chicharrón, fried egg, plantain (plátano maduro), chorizo, arepa, hogao sauce, black pudding (morcilla), avocado and lemon.some antioquian restaurants offer an 'extended' bandeja paisa, also known as 'seven meats platter', which contains, besides the aforementioned ingredients, grilled steak, grilled pork and liver.a number of people opposed this designation, arguing that only a small percentage of the colombian population consumes it on a regular basis and that it originated in a single region of colombia (antioquia)."

"apollo 1, initially designated as-204, was the first crewed mission of the apollo program, the american undertaking to land the first man on the moon.it was planned to launch on february 21, 1967, as the first low earth orbital test of the apollo command and service module.the mission never flew; a cabin fire during a launch rehearsal test at cape kennedy air force station launch complex 34 on january 27 killed all three crew members—command pilot gus grissom, senior pilot ed white, and pilot roger b. chaffee—and destroyed the command module (cm).the name apollo 1, chosen by the crew, was made official by nasa in their honor after the fire.immediately after the fire, nasa convened an accident review board to determine the cause of the fire, and both chambers of the united states congress conducted their own committee inquiries to oversee nasa's investigation.the ignition source of the fire was determined to be electrical, and the fire spread rapidly due to combustible nylon material and the high-pressure pure oxygen cabin atmosphere.rescue was prevented by the plug door hatch, which could not be opened against the internal pressure of the cabin.because the rocket was unfueled, the test had not been considered hazardous, and emergency preparedness for it was poor.during the congressional investigation, senator walter mondale publicly revealed a nasa internal document citing problems with prime apollo contractor north american aviation, which became known as the phillips report.this disclosure embarrassed nasa administrator james e. webb, who was unaware of the document's existence, and attracted controversy to the apollo program.despite congressional displeasure at nasa's lack of openness, both congressional committees ruled that the issues raised in the report had no bearing on the accident.crewed apollo flights were suspended for twenty months while the command module's hazards were addressed.however, the development and uncrewed testing of the lunar module (lm) and saturn v rocket continued.the saturn ib launch vehicle for apollo 1, sa-204, was used for the first lm test flight, apollo 5.the first successful crewed apollo mission was flown by apollo 1's backup crew on apollo 7 in october 1968.as-204 was to test launch operations, ground tracking and control facilities and the performance of the apollo-saturn launch assembly and would have lasted up to two weeks, depending on how the spacecraft performed.the csm for this flight, number 012 built by north american aviation (naa), was a block i version designed before the lunar orbit rendezvous landing strategy was chosen;
