Independence County, Washington
|
Independence County was a proposed county to be created from the northwest corner of Whatcom County, Washington. The proposal had the most momentum in the county elections of 1993, when secessionist interests won a majority of votes on the County Council. The Independence County proposal, like other county secession proposals in Washington, was organized by construction and development interests, hoping that a separate county would redefine county zoning and land use plans to encourage new development. Proponents of the new county took advantage of rural landowners' perception of tax flow: that property taxes had increased unreasonably in order to foot the bill for infrastructure development in the county seat of Bellingham, Washington. This assertion was bolstered by studies on three of Washington's county creation proposals undertaken by UW Professor Richard Zerbe, but refuted by Whatcom County Assessor Keith Wilnauer. In 1994 the Independence County movement was based in Deming, Washington, organized by Doug Howard, a preacher, retail landowner, and mortgage lender. The Independence movement had ties to the Wise Use Movement, and anti-environmental interest group. The Independence movement also had ties to other county secession movements in Washington including Freedom, Pioneer, and Skykomish county proposals. Petitions to propose that Independence County be created were circulated around the proposed area between 1993 and 1994. Many signatories believed that they were signing an initiative to be placed on an upcoming ballot, but it was only a petition to the legislature. After the Washington State Public Disclosure Commission secured a disclosure hearing into the lobbying actions and finances of the organized Cedar County, Washington movement, the Independence County organized movement shut down in 1994.

# Independence County, Washington
**Independence County** was a proposed county to be created from the northwest corner of Whatcom County, Washington. The proposal had the most momentum in the county elections of 1993, when secessionist interests won a majority of votes on the County Council.
The Independence County proposal, like other county secession proposals in Washington, was organized by construction and development interests (under the banner of property rights), hoping that a separate county would redefine county zoning and land use plans to encourage new development. Proponents of the new county took advantage of rural landowners' perception of tax flow: that property taxes had increased unreasonably in order to foot the bill for infrastructure development in the county seat of Bellingham, Washington. This assertion was bolstered by studies on three of Washington's county creation proposals (including Independence) undertaken by UW Professor Richard Zerbe, but refuted by Whatcom County Assessor Keith Wilnauer.
In 1994 the Independence County movement was based in Deming, Washington, organized by Doug Howard, a preacher, retail landowner, and mortgage lender. The Independence movement had ties to the Wise Use Movement, and anti-environmental interest group. The Independence movement also had ties to other county secession movements in Washington including Freedom, Pioneer, and Skykomish county proposals.
Petitions to propose that Independence County be created were circulated around the proposed area between 1993 and 1994. Many signatories believed that they were signing an initiative to be placed on an upcoming ballot, but it was only a petition to the legislature.
After the Washington State Public Disclosure Commission secured a disclosure hearing into the lobbying actions and finances of the organized Cedar County, Washington movement, the Independence County organized movement (as well as those of other Washington county secession movements) shut down in 1994.

### Timiskaming, 12 October 1982: Pierre Bélanger
**Pierre Bélanger** is an entrepreneur and activist in Northern Ontario. He was a co-founder of the Coopérative des artistes du Nouvel-Ontario, which supports Franco-Ontarian artists, in the early 1970s. He also founded one of the first bison ranches in Ontario and has operated a recreational vehicle business. From 1983 to 2002, he owned the Earlton Zoo.
Bélanger ran for the Liberal Party in the 1979 general election and a 1982 by-election. On the latter occasion, he indicated that he did not agree with the Trudeau government's decision to combat inflation with high interest rates. He subsequently led a high-profile campaign against the City of Toronto government's plan to transport its garbage to the Adams Mine near Kirkland Lake in 2000.

# Laini
**Laini** is a settlement in Kenya's Central Province.
## History
The province is inhabited by the Kikuyu speaking community who are part of the Kenya Eastern Bantu. During Kenya's colonization by the British, much of the province was regarded as part of the 'White Highlands', for the exclusive use of the settler community. Therefore it saw political activity from the local communities who felt that they had an ancestral right to the land. This tension culminated in the 1950s with the Mau Mau rebellion; it saw the region placed under a state of emergency and the arrest of many prominent political leaders.

Mary Cannell
|
Doris Mary Cannell was an English educator and historian of early 19th-century mathematical physics, in particular of George Green.
| 2024-04-16T14:04:38 |
# Mary Cannell
**Doris Mary Cannell** (19 July 1913 – 18 April 2000) was an English educator and historian of early 19th-century mathematical physics, in particular of George Green.
## Early life
Cannell was educated in Liverpool, with a scholarship to the selective private Merchant Taylors' School for Girls followed by a BA from the University of Liverpool in French with History subsidiary. She then gained a Postgraduate Diploma in Education and held teaching posts in the UK and France.
## Career
During World War II she lectured to troops and this changed the direction of her career into higher education and the training of teachers. In 1960 she was appointed the deputy principal of the new Nottingham College of Education. In 1974, as acting principal, she led the formation of what became Nottingham Trent University, bringing together her college, Trent Polytechnic and other educational institutions in Nottingham.
## Research
After her retirement in the 1970s, she again changed direction to become a respected historian of mathematics. Her major achievement was rediscovering the importance of George Green in the development of nineteenth-century applied physics. He had initially worked as a miller near Nottingham, and although his mathematical discoveries were known and used worldwide, very little was known about his life. Her major biography of him brought his work, life and legacy together for the first time, introducing him as an important influence in nineteenth-century applied physics. Cannell and colleagues at Nottingham led the recovery of his legacy, completing the restoration of his windmill in time for his bicentenary in 1993.
## Legacy
The Mary Cannell Summer Studentships in mathematics at the University of Nottingham, funded from a legacy she made, commemorate her.

# Arch (horse)
**Arch** (January 31, 1995 – January 20, 2016) was a Kentucky-bred race horse and sire. He was a son of Kris S. and Aurora (by Danzig). Arch won the Grade 1 Super Derby and sired many notable stakes winners.
## Race career
Arch had a short but productive racing career. On his first outing during his two-year-old season, he broke his maiden by a length and a half.
Frank Brothers brought Arch back as a three-year-old in April to win an allowance race. He was then put on a four-month break to prepare for his stakes debut.
After two more allowance races (in which he came in second and first), he was entered in the Super Derby at Louisiana Downs. Arch broke well and stalked the pace. On the second turn, he made his move and battled down the stretch with eventual Gr.2 millionaire Classic Cat. Arch won by three lengths.
He was then entered the Fayette Breeders' Cup (now the Fayette Stakes) against three opponents. Arch beat Touch Gold (the previous year’s Belmont Stakes winner) by a neck in a record time of 1:53.87.
In the 1998 Breeders' Cup Classic at Churchill Downs, Arch placed ninth in a 10-horse field that included Skip Away, Swain, Silver Charm and Victory Gallop. With Shane Sellers aboard, Arch was either second or third in each of the first four splits, but faded down the stretch. After this race, Arch was retired to stand stud.
## Stud career
Arch retired to stand at Claiborne Farm. His stud fee steadily rose with the success of his progeny, and he was set to stand for a fee of $40,000 the year he died.
As of 2018, he has sired 59 stakes winners, with 35 of them being graded winners. Twelve are Gr.I winners, and four are champions.
### Progeny
Arch's top progeny includes:
Arch is also the sire of graded stakes winners Instilled Regard, Tax, Arklow, Nonna Mela, Art Trader, and others.
Arch is the broodmare sire of:
### Sire line
Arch is an emerging sire of sires. He has numerous sons standing at stud, with several of them siring graded winners of their own.
Blame is the sire of:

## Death
Arch passed away on January 20, 2016 of an apparent heart attack at Claiborne Farm, where the 21-year-old stood at stud.

# Atmotic airship
The **Atmotic Ship** was an experimental steam-powered airship designed in 1851 by Australian physician and member of parliament William Bland. No prototype was ever constructed.
## Background
Bland was a naval surgeon by profession who was transported to Australia as a convict after murdering a ship's purser in a duel.
According to Bland, the idea for the Atmotic Ship came to him in March 1851. He may have been inspired by reports on ballooning carried in *The Sydney Morning Herald*, which drew attention to the problem of managing ascents and descents and navigating through the air. Additionally, he had previously corresponded with Francis Forbes, the son of Chief Justice Sir Francis Forbes, who had in 1843 put forward a proposal for an "aerial carriage" based on a steam-powered kite.
## Design
Illustrations of the Atmotic ShipPrior to inflationDuring inflationAscendingDescending
Bland sought to put forward a solution to the problem of managing ascents and descents that did not require releasing gas or jettisoning ballast. He proposed that the gondola or "car" be fitted with "sliding ballast", which the operator would move to the front, back or centre of the airship to effect an ascent or descent.
## Promotion
In June 1859, Bland gave an address to the Royal Society of New South Wales titled "On Atmotic Navigation", which was one of the first lectures on aviation in Australia.
Bland continued to lobby for the Ship to be trialled up until his death in 1868. He wrote letters to U.S. President Abraham Lincoln, King Victor Emmanuel II of Italy, and Tsar Alexander II of Russia, and proposed to the Colonial Office that the first Ship to be constructed should be named in honour of Queen Victoria. In 1866, Bland sent copies of his pamphlet to George Campbell, 8th Duke of Argyll, the president of the newly formed Aeronautical Society of Great Britain, requesting that the Ship be given a trial. The Duke of Argyll declined on the grounds that he believed aerial navigation would only be possible with a flying machine that was heavier than air, noting that no "flying animal is lighter than air". The following year, Bland was finally granted a patent for his fire suppression device. He proposed that the patent be sold and the future rights to the patent for the Atmotic Ship be sold for £2,000 (equivalent to $160,000 in 2022).

# Schweninger Building
The **Schweninger Building** (also known as the **Carmel Bakery**) is a historic mixed-use commercial building in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California. It was built in 1899, by Artie Bowen for Fritz Schweninger. It is an example of Vernacular style. The structure is recognized as an important commercial building in the city's *Downtown Conservation District Historic Property Survey,* and was nominated and submitted to the California Register of Historical Resources on July 25, 2002. The building has been occupied by the Carmel Bakery since 1899.
## History
The Schweninger Building, (sometimes spelled Schweinger), is a two-story false front Victorian wood frame commercial Vernacular-style building on Ocean Avenue between Dolores and Lincoln Streets in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California. Artie Bowen constructed the building in 1899 for Fritz Seraphin Schweninger (1867-1918).
The building has vertical board and batten siding on the upper story with two bay windows with a shingled hipped roof. The ground floor has a large bay showcase display window with two doors, one leading to the upper floor and the second, a Dutch door that leads to the bakery. The original owner, Fritz Schweninger, lived in the apartment above the bakery for many years. The overall details of the building are similar to those found in photographs of 1910-1920.
The bakery was successful, but in September 1917, the Schweninger announced they would close the business to spend more time with a grocery business they had acquired two lots west of the bakery. The bakery sat vacant throughout 1918-1919 and reopened as the Carmel Bakery in April 1920 under a lease to Carl Husemann. The building was leased to several other people who ran the bakery. The Schweninger heirs sold the building to Charles and Doris Rayne in 1963. The P**è**pe family bought the bakery building from the Rayne family in 2013, having operated the bakery since the 1980s.
The building qualifies for inclusion in the city's *Downtown Conservation District Historic Property Survey,* and has been nominated and submitted to the California Register of Historical Resources on July 25, 2002, by Richard N. Janick. The property is significant under the California Register criterion 3, in architecture, as one of two wood frame commercial building still remaining on the south side of Ocean Avenue, with two second story false-front window bays, that date back to the 1910s. The building has housed a commercial bakery since it was established by Fritz Seraphin Schweninger in 1899. The other building of similar design is the Adam Fox Building located two blocks to the east of Ocean Avenue. The two buildings are the oldest buildings before the incorporation of Carmel-by-the-Sea in 1916.
Several additions and remodelings took place over the years. In 1920, an addition to the rear of the building was done for $2.000 (equivalent to $30,419 in 2023). A new store front was done by Michael J. Murphy in 1939 for $500 (equivalent to $10,952 in 2023). In 1960, contractor Ben Logan architect Elston & Cranston did an addition to the rear bakery kitchen for $17,000 (equivalent to $175,087 in 2023). In 1964, a new store front for the bakery was done by contractor Comstock & Associates for $1,000 (equivalent to $9,824 in 2023). A remodel of the front interior showcase was done in 1968 for $3,000 (equivalent to $26,285 in 2023).

A Sucked Orange is an album by Nurse With Wound, consisting of 29 mostly brief, unused pieces, elements or alternate versions of tracks from Nurse With Wound's recording career up to 1988. Steven Stapleton compiled the album prior to moving to Ireland; he was unable to take his tape archive with him and decided to salvage the fragments that make up this album before destroying them. Some of the track titles are particularly literal, with titles such as "A Little Missing Part Of Homotopy to Marie" or "Pleasant Banjo Intro With Irritating Squeak". There is some crossover between the track listings of A Sucked Orange and the cassette-only release "Scrag", issued in 1987. The album was originally released on compact disc and vinyl in 1989, with the CD being re-pressed in 1995. A 2CD reissue pairing the album with "Scrag" was issued on the Dirter Promotions label in 2013.

Bayesian inference in motor learning
|
Bayesian inference is a statistical tool that can be applied to motor learning, specifically to adaptation. Adaptation is a short-term learning process involving gradual improvement in performance in response to a change in sensory information. Bayesian inference is used to describe the way the nervous system combines this sensory information with prior knowledge to estimate the position or other characteristics of something in the environment. Bayesian inference can also be used to show how information from multiple senses can be combined for the same purpose. In either case, Bayesian inference dictates that the estimate is most influenced by whichever information is most certain.

# Bayesian inference in motor learning
**Bayesian inference is a statistical tool that can be applied to motor learning**, specifically to adaptation. Adaptation is a short-term learning process involving gradual improvement in performance in response to a change in sensory information. Bayesian inference is used to describe the way the nervous system combines this sensory information with prior knowledge to estimate the position or other characteristics of something in the environment. Bayesian inference can also be used to show how information from multiple senses (e.g. visual and proprioception) can be combined for the same purpose. In either case, Bayesian inference dictates that the estimate is most influenced by whichever information is most certain.
## Example: integrating prior knowledge with sensory information in tennis
A person uses Bayesian inference to create an estimate that is a weighted combination of his current sensory information and his previous knowledge, or prior. This can be illustrated by decisions made in a tennis match. If someone plays against a familiar opponent who likes to serve such that the ball strikes on the sideline, one's prior would lead one to place the racket above the sideline to return the serve. However, when one sees the ball moving, it may appear that it will land closer to the middle of the court. Rather than completely following this sensory information or completely following the prior, one would move the racket to a location between the sideline (suggested by the prior) and the point where her eyes indicate the ball will land.
Another key part of Bayesian inference is that the estimate will be closer to the physical state suggested by sensory information if the senses are more accurate and will be closer to the state of the prior if the sensory information is more uncertain than the prior. Extending this to the tennis example, a player facing an opponent for the first time would have little certainty in his/her previous knowledge of the opponent and would therefore have an estimate weighted more heavily on visual information concerning ball position. Alternatively, if one were familiar with one's opponent but were playing in foggy or dark conditions that would hamper sight, sensory information would be less certain and one's estimate would rely more heavily on previous knowledge.
## Statistical overview
Bayes' theorem states
$$P(A|B)={\frac {P(B|A)\\,P(A)}{P(B)}.\\,}$$
In the language of Bayesian statistics, $P(A|B)$, or probability of A given B, is called the posterior, while $P(B|A)$ and $P(A)$ are the likelihood and the prior probabilities, respectively. $P(B)$ is a constant scaling factor which allows the posterior to be between zero and one. Translating this into the language of motor learning, the prior represents **previous knowledge** about the physical state of the thing being observed, the likelihood is **sensory information** used to update the prior, and the posterior is the nervous system's **estimate** of the physical state. Therefore, for adaptation, Bayes' Theorem can be expressed as
```
**estimate** = **(previous knowledge** × **sensory information)**/**scaling factor**
```
The 3 terms in the equation above are all probability distributions. To find the estimate in non-probabilistic terms, a weighted sum can be used.
$$E={\frac {W\_{p}S+W\_{s}P}{W\_{p}+W\_{s}.}}$$
where $E$ is the estimate, $S$ is sensory information, $P$ is previous knowledge, and the weighting factors $Wp$ and $Ws$ are the variances of $S$ and $P$, respectively. Variance is a measure of uncertainty in a variable, so the above equation indicates that higher uncertainty in sensory information causes previous knowledge to have more influence on the estimate and vice versa.
More rigorous mathematical Bayesian descriptions are available here and here.
## Reaching
Many motor tasks exhibit adaptation to new sensory information. Bayesian inference has been most commonly studied in reaching.
### Integrating a prior with current sensory information
Adaptation studies often involve a person reaching for a target without seeing either the target or his/her hand. Instead, the hand is represented by a cursor on a computer screen, which they must move over the target on the screen. In some cases, the cursor is shifted a small distance away from the actual hand position to test how the person responds to changes in visual feedback. A person learns to counteract this shifts by moving his/her hand an equal and opposite distance from the shift and still moves the cursor to the target, meaning he has developed a prior for this specific shift. When the cursor is then shifted a new, different distance from the same person's reaching hand, the person reaction is consistent with Bayesian inference; the hand moves a distance that is between the old shift (prior) and the new shift (sensory information).
If, for the new shift, the cursor is a large cloud of dots instead of one dot (as shown in the figure), the person's sensory information is less clear and will have less influence on how he reacts than the prior will. This supports the Bayesian idea that sensory information with more certainty will have greater influence on a person's adaptation to shifted sensory feedback.
This form of adaptation holds true only when the shift is small compared to the distance the person has to reach to hit the target. A person reaching for a target 15 cm away would adapt to a 2 cm shift of the cursor in a Bayesian way. However, if the target were only 5 cm away, a 2 cm shift cursor position (visual information) would be recognized and the person would realize the visual information does not accurately show hand position. Instead, the person would rely on proprioception and prior knowledge to move the hand to the target.
Humans also adapt to changing forces when reaching. When a force field a person reaches through changes slightly, he modifies his force to maintain reaching in a straight line based partly on a prior force which had been applied earlier. He relies more on the prior if the prior shift is less variable (more certain).
### Integrating information from multiple senses
Bayesian inference can also be applied to the way humans combine information about changes in their environment from multiple senses without any consideration of prior knowledge. The two senses that have the strongest influence on how humans' reaching adaptations are vision and proprioception. Typically, proprioception has more weight than vision for adapting hand position in depth – the direction moving toward or away from the person reaching – and vision has more weight in the vertical and horizontal directions. However, changing conditions can alter the relative influence of these two senses. For example, the influence of vision on adapting hand depth is increased when the hand is passive, while proprioception has more influence when the hand is moving. Moreover, when vision is reduced (e.g. in darkness) proprioception has more influence on determining hand position. This result is consistent with Bayesian inference; when one sense becomes more uncertain, humans increase their reliance on another sense.
## Posture
Additionally, Bayesian inference has been found to play a part in adaptation of postural control. In one study, for example, subjects use a Wii Balance Board to do a surfing task in which they must move a cursor representing their center of pressure (COP) on a screen. The Wii surfer got visual information about his/her COP from clouds of dots similar to the one shown in the reaching section. With larger clouds, the surfers were more uncertain and less able to move the COP to the target on the screen. While this result is consistent with Bayesian inference, Bayesian mathematical models did not provide the best predictions of COP motion, perhaps because moving the COP accurately is more mechanically difficult than reaching. Therefore, the extent to which postural movement can be described by Bayesian inference is not yet clear.
## Gait
Adaptation to shifted feedback also occurs during walking and running. People walking with each foot on a different treadmill belt can adapt their step length when one belt begins moving faster than the other. Additionally, runners are able to alter their maximum ground reaction force and leg acceleration when they see a graph of peak leg acceleration. However, to date, no studies have determined if humans adapt their gates using Bayesian inference or not.
## Possible contradictions to Bayesian inference
Some adaptation studies do not support the application of Bayesian inference to motor learning. One study of reaching in a force field found that, rather than being influenced by a prior developed over hundreds of previous reaches, adaptation to subsequent reaches is only influenced by recent memories. People reaching in the force field adapted to shifts in the amount of force exerted on the arm, but this adaptation was only affected by the shift in force of the immediately previous reach, not by a well-developed prior knowledge of shifts that had occurred throughout the previous trials of the experiment. This appears to conflict with the application of Bayesian inference to adaptation, but Bayesian adaptation proponents have argued that this particular study required each participant to do only 600 reaches, which is not enough to develop a prior. In reaching studies that show evidence of Bayesian inference, participants typically perform 900 reaches or more. This indicates that, while Bayesian inference is used in adaptation, it is limited in that much previous experience is necessary to develop an influential prior.

Neutral reportage
|
Neutral reportage is a common law defense against libel and defamation lawsuits usually involving the media republishing unproven accusations about public figures. It is a limited exception to the common law rule that one who repeats a defamatory statement is just as guilty as the first person who published it. Defendants using the defense can claim that they are not implying the offending statement is true but simply reporting, in a neutral manner, that the potentially libelous statements were made, even if they doubt the accuracy of the statement. For the defense to succeed, it is almost always required for the reporting to be unbiased and in the public interest.

# Neutral reportage
**Neutral reportage** is a common law defense against libel and defamation lawsuits usually involving the media republishing unproven accusations about public figures. It is a limited exception to the common law rule that one who repeats a defamatory statement is just as guilty as the first person who published it.
Defendants using the defense can claim that they are not implying the offending statement is true but simply reporting, in a neutral manner, that the potentially libelous statements were made, even if they doubt the accuracy of the statement. For the defense to succeed, it is almost always required for the reporting to be unbiased and in the public interest.
## History
In U.S. defamation law it is traditional for a court to consider the publishing and re-publishing of defamatory statements indistinguishable on the grounds that the republished statements have potential to cause as much harm to a person as the original publication. The doctrine of neutral reportage was established on the basis that the press should not be liable for republishing allegations made by a responsible speaker about public figures providing it is done in a neutral manner and is newsworthy.
### *Edwards v. National Audubon Society*
The case of *Edwards v. National Audubon Society* in 1977 is largely recognised as the first major case in which the idea of neutral reporting was used. The case concerned the reporting of a dispute between the National Audubon Society and a group of scientists that it had accused of being paid to lie by pesticide companies regarding the effects of pesticides on birds. *The New York Times*, while attempting to report both sides of the dispute, was sued by several of the scientists. A federal appellate court recognised that the reporting was both neutral and in the public interest.
### United States law
The neutral reportage privilege has not been widely adopted by all states and courts. U.S. District Judge Marilyn Patel stated that "there is a great deal of inconsistency among state court decisions" In 1981, during the case of *McCall vs. Courier Journal*, the Kentucky Supreme Court rejected the defense stating it had not been approved by the U.S. Supreme Court, which in turn refused to review the case. In 2004, Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled that neither the Pennsylvania constitution nor the United States Constitution provided such a defense. These two states together with Michigan, New York and California have rejected the defense while Florida is among the few states that has accepted it. Whereas in Illinois one appellate court recognised the principle and another did not demonstrating the inconsistency of the defense even within the same state.
### United Kingdom law
In the United Kingdom, the defense is often known as the 'Reynolds defence' after a 1994 case, where then Irish Taoiseach Albert Reynolds sued the *Sunday Times* over an article claiming he had misled parliament. The case was a landmark in British libel law after the House of Lords decided in 1997 to allow the media to plead the 'Reynolds defence' meaning they could print potential libel if they could prove that it is in the public interest and responsible. According to the libel book *Gatley on Libel and Slander* it "extends at least to the attributed and neutral reporting of allegations and counter allegations by parties to a political dispute in which the public has a legitimate interest."
## Notable cases
While the validity of the defense is questioned, it has been used successfully in some cases while in others the defendants have failed to convince judges that they are protected by the defense.
### Failures
### Successes
* *Edwards v. National Audubon Society*, 1977
* *Al-Fagih v. HH Saudi Research & Marketing (UK) Ltd*, 2001 (on appeal)
* *Christopher and Barry Roberts v. Searchlight Magazine*
* *Global Relief Foundation vs. multiple defendants all reporters or news organizations including New York Times, ABC, Boston Globe and Associated Press (on appeal)*
* *Watson v. Leach*, 1996 - Newspaper report that a state auditor accused a town trustee of faking a snow emergency to gain access to emergency funds.
* *Celebrezze v. Netzley*, 1988 - A newspaper report that a political campaign brochure accused the county's Italian-American judges of having mafia connections.
* *McCracken v. Gainesville Tribune, Inc.*, 1978 - A land developer calling another developer "unscrupulous" during a town meeting.
#### *Barbara Schwarz v. The Salt Lake Tribune*
In May 2003 the *Salt Lake Tribune*, of Salt Lake City, Utah, published an article entitled "S.L. Woman's Quest Strains Public Records System" documenting Salt Lake City resident Barbara Schwarz's extensive pursuit of FOIA records.
Schwarz sued the *Tribune*, claiming that its use of “yellow journalism” resulted in “malicious defamation”, “emotional abuse” and was accomplished by deceiving her into giving an interview, unauthorized use of her photo, violation of privacy, refusing to print a correction or letter to the editor, in addition to theft of approximately 100 photos and negatives.
In its ruling the three member court stated: "The public interest in being fully informed about controversies that often rage around sensitive issues demands that the press be afforded the freedom to report such charges without assuming responsibility for them.” Judge James Z. Davis further wrote that the Tribune article was protected by "the neutral reportage privilege because it contains 'accurate and disinterested reporting' of the information contained in the record." Her suit was dismissed and her appeals denied.

# Bottom water
**Bottom water** is the lowermost water mass in a water body, by its bottom, with distinct characteristics, in terms of physics, chemistry, and ecology.
## Oceanography
Bottom water consists of cold, dense water near the ocean floor. This water is characterized by low salinity and nutrient content. Generally, low salinity from seasonal ice melt and freshwater river output characterizes bottom water produced in the Antarctic. However, during colder months, the formation of sea ice is a crucial process that raises the salinity of bottom water through brine rejection. As saltwater freezes, salt is expelled from the ice into the surrounding water. The oxygen content in bottom water is high due to ocean circulation. In the Antarctic, salty and cold surface water sinks to lower depths due to its high density. As the surface water sinks, it carries oxygen from the surface with it and will spend an enormous amount of time circulating across the seafloor of ocean basins. Oxygen-rich water moving throughout the bottom layer of the ocean is an important source for the respiration of benthic organisms. Bottom waters flow very slowly, driven mainly by slope topography and differences in temperature and salinity, especially compared to wind-driven surface ocean currents.
Antarctic Bottom Water is the most dominant source of bottom water in southern parts of the Pacific Ocean, Indian Ocean, and North Atlantic Ocean. Antarctic Bottom Water sits underneath the North Atlantic Deep Water due to its colder temperature and higher density. Salinity can be used to compare the movement between fresh Antarctic Bottom Water (roughly 34.7 psu) and saltier North Atlantic Deep Water. Antarctic Bottom Water can be distinguished from other intermediate and deep water masses by its cold, low nutrient, high oxygen, and low salinity content.
The bottom water of the Arctic Ocean is more isolated, due to the topography of the Arctic Ocean floor and the surrounding Arctic shelves. Deep Western Boundary Currents carry the Antarctic Bottom Water northward in the South Atlantic Ocean. The Antarctic Bottom Water shifts east when it reaches the equator, thus turning it into an eastern boundary current along the mid-Atlantic Ridge. The movement of the Antarctic Bottom Water across isopycnals is limited by deep sills. Sills are shallow seafloor regions that stop water from flowing across basins.
**Climate Change and Antarctic Bottom Water**
Changes in the characterization of Antarctic Bottom Water have been monitored in the Southern Ocean. The Antarctic Bottom Water’s temperature has increased and the salinity continues to freshen. Since the water mass is heating up and getting fresher, the density is significantly lowering. This has to do with Global Warming heating up the atmosphere and the ocean resulting in sea ice melt, sea level rise, and ocean acidification. Ventilation has also slowed down as a result of global warming. Antarctic Bottom Water has such high oxygen content that it is able to contribute to the ventilation of the deep ocean by acting as a circulatory system. Long-term shifts in temperature increase have slowed the rate of ocean ventilation. As the atmosphere warms, that decreases the formation of sea ice in Antarctica, thus decreasing the density of the surrounding water. The decreased density leads to a slower rate of convection ultimately slowing down deep water formation processes. Essential processes like upwelling begin to digress. Without upwelling, cold, nutrient-rich water can’t be recycled to the surface to create areas of high productivity.
## Estuaries
Bottom water by an estuary of a river discharging into a saline body exhibits peculiar transport of mud. Due to fresh/saline water intermixing by the estuary, a horizontal isohale gradient is created, with lower salinity levels upstream, which generates the upstream flow of the bottom water. Mud particles carried by river begin settling down as the current and turbulence decrease. When the particles nearly reach the floor, they are carried back to the head of estuary to accumulate at the point where the salinity of the surface and bottom waters become comparable and the bottom flow decreases. This process results is a distinguished pile of mud at this point.
## Lake hydrography
Bottom water of lakes may feature lower level of oxygen, to the point of completely vanished dissolved oxygen (i.e., becoming anaerobic), and higher levels of chlorinity and organic-induced acidity. In many lakes, especially in the zones of continental climate, summer heating and winter cooling create strong vertical temperature gradients which oppose water intermixing, resulting in the periods of **summer and winter thermal lake stratification**. They are intervened by **bottom water overturning**, which happens in autumn (**autumn overturn**) and in spring (**spring overturn**) due to equalizing of temperature gradients and the resulting easier intermixing by wind and other sources of turbulence.

Palapa (structure)

A palapa is an open-sided dwelling with a thatched roof made of dried palm leaves. It is very useful in hot weather and, therefore, very common on Mexican beaches and deserts. According to Rubén Carrillo, palapa is derived from the traditional construction methods of the bahay kubo architectural style of the Philippines, carried to Nueva España via the Manila galleons during the Spanish colonial period. Palapas are also common in Honduras and other Central American countries.

# Palapa (structure)
A **palapa** (a Spanish word of Tagalog origin, originally meaning "petiole of the palm leaf") is an open-sided dwelling with a thatched roof made of dried palm leaves. It is very useful in hot weather and, therefore, very common on Mexican beaches and deserts.
According to Rubén Carrillo, palapa is derived from the traditional construction methods of the *bahay kubo* ("nipa hut") architectural style of the Philippines, carried to Nueva España (along with coconuts, which are not native to the Americas) via the Manila galleons during the Spanish colonial period.
Palapas are also common in Honduras and other Central American countries.

Skids (EP)

Charles EP, or simply named Skids, is the first disc and EP of punk rock band Skids, recorded in October 1977 and released on 24 February 1978 on the Scottish punk label No Bad. The lead track was originally planned to be "Test-Tube Babies," but between the recording sessions and the EP's release, the band felt their sound had moved on and was more properly represented by "Charles" and "Reasons." All music and lyrics were by Stuart Adamson, though the distinctive bass line in "Charles" later won Simpson plaudits from musicians such as The Edge and Peter Hook. The band comprised a then teenage Richard Jobson on vocals, Stuart Adamson on guitar, Bill Simpson on bass and Thomas Kellichan on drums. They were credited on the EP with only their first names, Simpson being listed as Alexander. This was the result of the band's original punk-rock pseudonyms, in which Kellichan became Tom Bomb and Simpson became Alex Plode. The song "Charles" was featured in re-recorded form on the Scared to Dance debut album in 1979, while the rest of the songs were added as bonus tracks on that album's remastered edition.

Neochori, Magnesia
|
Neochori is a village and a community situated on the peninsula of Pelion, Magnesia, eastern Thessaly, Greece. It was the seat of the former municipality Afetes. The village is hidden in the embrace of a vast pine forest 480 meters above sea level, and about 35 km southeast of the city of Volos. The community Neochori consists of the villages Neochori, Agios Dimitrios, Afyssos, Zervochia, Megali Vrysi and Plaka. The community stretches from the Aegean Sea coast of the Pelion peninsula to the Pagasetic Gulf. Agios Dimitrios and Plaka are on the Aegean coast, and the tourist centre Afyssos is on the Pagasetic coast. A village square is situated in the centre of Neochori, adorned by the centuries-old plane trees and a roofed fountain dating from 1807. There are two tavernas and also a small kafenion. The Agios Dimitrios church below the square was constructed in 1768 and is truly remarkable. Externally, the church looks pretty simple, but the inside impresses with its wooden carved icon screen and the wall paintings by the Epirote painter Pagonis. Neochori is famous for the slate of its quarries. Furthermore honey, apples and olives are typical products of Neochori and its vicinity.

## History
Neochori is, like the name says, a "new" village, (neo chori = new place). In former times, the region was settled completely from the Aegean side up to the Pagasitikos Gulf. Neohori however was built in the Middle Ages by inhabitants of the surrounding settlements as well as by settlers from the Aegean side and from the north of Greece.
The history of the region around Neochori is very long. It started in the ancient world; we know about the myths of Afetai, the myths of the kingdom of Lai and reports talking about Minoan settlements, as well as settlers at Agios Dimitrios and Cape Klossou, which is named in many old maps as "Knossou". The historians Strabo and Herodotus wrote reports about Afetai.

The sculpture is located in an outdoor environment, surrounded by trees and man-made structures in the entrance to the school.
## *Build-Grow* (1992)
Richard Hunt created another *Build-Grow* sculpture in 1992 in Connolly Plaza, Metro Center in Washington, D.C. The sculpture is composed of welded bronze with the dimensions of 22’ H x 7’ W x 7’ D. Hunt wanted to explore the idea of nature, brought to life with man made materials. The sculptures from 1986 and 1992 are similar in composition and features. The sculpture Hunt made in Washington is made of a different medium, and has a rigid frame surrounding the piece. The sculpture resembles nature, breaking out from within the confines of the frame, the two large, branch like figures sprouting from the borders of the sculpture, like roots sprouting from the ground through fractures in concrete. The sculpture in York college is different as it is not contained within a frame, however both sculptures mimic a tree with its branches springing upward and outward.

Brachylophosaurini is a tribe of saurolophine hadrosaurs with known material being from N. America and potentially Asia. It contains at least four taxa; Acristavus, Brachylophosaurus, Maiasaura, and Probrachylophosaurus. A hadrosaur from the Amur river, Wulagasaurus, might be a member of this tribe, but this is disputed. The group was defined by Terry A. Gates and colleagues in 2011. The clade Brachylophosaurini was defined as "Hadrosaurine ornithopods more closely related to Brachylophosaurus, Maiasaura, or Acristavus than to Gryposaurus or Saurolophus". In 2021, Madzia et al. registered Brachylophosaurini in the PhyloCode and formally defined it as "The largest clade containing Brachylophosaurus canadensis but not Edmontosaurus regalis, Hadrosaurus foulkii, Kritosaurus navajovius and Saurolophus osborni".

Get Up! (Helix EP)

Get Up! is a CD released by heavy metal band Helix in 2006. It was Helix' first official EP, and their 18th official release. It was released independently by Brian Vollmer's Dirty Dog Records. All 7 tracks would be re-released internationally on the 2007 full-length album The Power of Rock and Roll. The track "Heavy Metal Love", originally from No Rest for the Wicked, was re-recorded here due to a dispute with EMI. The song was to be featured on the soundtrack for the Trailer Park Boys movie "The Big Dirty", however the track was pulled by Dean Cameron, president of EMI Canada. The reason given was that distribution of the soundtrack was being handled by Universal, and not EMI who owns the track. The band instead chose to re-record it and include it on Get Up! Get Up! itself was hyped by Vollmer as "...very reminiscent of the No Rest For The Wicked album," after the alternative rock stylings of their previous studio album, Rockin' in My Outer Space, from 2004.

# Jennie Pryce
Professor **Jennie Elizabeth Pryce** (born 1972) is a quantitative geneticist based in Melbourne, Australia. Jennie is the DairyBio animal program leader in conjunction with her role as principal research scientist for Agriculture Victoria and Professor of animal genetics at La Trobe University.
## Early life and education
Pryce was born in Shrewsbury, Shropshire, UK in 1972. She attended Shrewsbury High School and then the Cheltenham Ladies College.
Pryce became inspired by genetics through owning and breeding her pedigree, registered herd of Holstein dairy cattle, under the prefix of Severnvale Holsteins and decided from a young age to pursue a career in genetics. In 1994 she received BSc (Hons) 1st class from the University of Edinburgh, Scotland and a PhD in 1998 also from the University of Edinburgh in "The Genetics of Health and Fertility of Dairy Cattle" under the supervision of Professors Geoff Simm, William G. Hill, Robin Thompson and Roel Veerkamp.
## Career
Between 1998 and 2001 Pryce was a dairy geneticist with the Scotland's Rural College, Edinburgh, Scotland. In 2001 she moved to New Zealand to take up a scientist position with the breeding company Livestock Improvement Corporation. Since 2008 Pryce has lived and worked in Melbourne, Australia where her main areas of research interest are genetic improvement of functional traits (especially dairy cow fertility and feed conversion efficiency), optimising breeding scheme design under genomic selection and development of dairy selection indices.
Jennie is also a member of the International Committee for Animal Recording’s Functional Traits Working Group and the Feed and Gas Working group and was also section editor of Journal of Dairy Science, a member of the Functional Traits working group of the International Committee on Animal Recording (ICAR) and a member of the scientific committee of the World Congress on Genetics Applied to Livestock Production. In Australia, Pryce sits on the Dairy Moving Forward Fertility group and Holstein Australia's Breed Development and Conformation Committee.
## Awards
In 2016 Jennie was the first non-North American recipient of the prestigious American Dairy Science Association J.L. Lush Award for Animal Breeding and Genetics - established in 1982, the Award honours the memory of Dr J. L. Lush, who dedicated his life to advancing the field of animal breeding. In 2019, Jennie was named as Australia’s top researcher in the field of animal husbandry by research analytics firm League of Scholars; this award is based on number of citations for papers published in the top 20 journals in each field over the past 5 years. The winner must have done research work published in the 10 years immediately preceding the year of recognition, performed research in any area of animal breeding and genetics that had or has the potential for improvement of dairy cattle.
The 2018 Agriculture Victoria Awards category “Excellence in Scientific Impact” winner for ImProving Herds. ImProving Herds was an innovative and collaborative herd improvement research, development, extension and education project concluding in 2018. It was important because it spelt out the importance and role of herd improvement to dairy farmers and the broader dairy industry. It was significant because it quantified the economic importance of genetic improvement by comparing breeding indices to real economic farm data, which has only been done once before in the dairy sector. ImProving Herds culminated in one of Australia’s largest on-farm dairy events, “The National Muster” which was attended by over 300 farmers and advisors.
The 2019 Agriculture Victoria Awards category “Excellence in Scientific Impact” winner for “Excellence in Discovery and Invention” for Classifying the fertility of dairy cows using mid-infrared spectroscopy Drs Phuong Ho, Tim Luke and Jennie Pryce from Genomic and Cellular Sciences have developed a model that can predict how likely a dairy cow is to conceive to first insemination with up to 77 per cent accuracy.
The 2019 Agriculture Victoria Awards category “Excellence in Leadership” winner. This citation reads: “Professor Jennie Pryce is an outstanding nomination for the Leadership award category given the impact and dimensions of her leadership. She has provided outstanding and clear science leadership (scholarly and impact leadership), team leaderships, collaboration leadership nationally and international collaboration as well as industry translation and adoption. She is also an outstanding team, program and project leader and models agriculture values. Professor Pryce is highly skilled at communication and influence, and in clearly explaining complex science and evidence to academic peers and lay audiences. Jennie leads a major part of the most important innovation program for the Dairy Industry – DairyBio - making profitability improvements on farm. This innovation is critical to the dairy industry – regional Victoria’s largest employer and a $1 billion export industry for the state. Professor Pryce has led development and delivering of successful research, worked to build industry groups’ understanding and adoption, and led development of tools for direct benefit on farm by most farmers. Leading strong impact on the economy and society this year, Professor Pryce has been named Australia’s top researcher in the field of animal husbandry by research analytics firm League of Scholars and published in The Australian".

Mount Alexander is a mountain with several summits, the highest 595 m, forming the rocky peninsula separating Gibson and Haddon Bays, on the south side of Joinville Island in Antarctica. The cliff marking the extremity of the peninsula was discovered and named Cape Alexander on 8 January 1893 by Thomas Robertson, master of the ship Active, one of the Dundee whalers. The name was amended to Mount Alexander by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1956 following a survey by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1953–54, the mountain summits of the peninsula being considered more suitable to name.

# Dark Congress
***Dark Congress*** is an original novel based on the American television series *Buffy the Vampire Slayer*, and is written by Christopher Golden.
## Plot summary
Golden has revealed some things about the plotline in an interview with Slayerlit:
"Once upon a time, all of the demonic and monstrous races, and the old gods, would choose ambassadors to send to the Dark Congress, which would take place under a general truce once every hundred years. The world is populated by demons from dark dimensions and many other supernatural beings and breeds, and they all have different attitudes toward humanity and the world. Some want to leave to return to their home dimensions, some to conquer this one; some want to live in peace with human beings, and others want to eat them."
The story takes place after the seventh season of *Buffy*. The Congress has not met for 500 years, having failed to come to an agreement.
The story starts as Micaela, a Watcher, unknowingly releases the demon, Kandida, one of the leaders of the Dark Congress.
Then, we find Buffy, and Xander in Providence, Rhode Island, trekking to the location of the city's own Hellmouth. There, they meet Trabajo the Sand demon, from whom they nearly escape.
Meanwhile, in Greece, Willow is living happily with Kennedy, until she returns to their apartment to find Kennedy has cheated on her with a newbie Slayer. Completely broken-hearted, Willow immediately leaves and heads to Athens to clear her mind, there she meets a very ancient witch named Catherine, who promises Willow her heart's desire if she will be her apprentice. She gives Willow a very powerful scroll and her witch's familiar, a ginger cat. With a very ancient spell Willow is able to resurrect her former lover Tara Maclay, with whom the familiar shares a body. Willow and Tara have an emotional reunion.
Elsewhere, former Scooby, Oz, is approached by an elder werewolf, who tells him that he is needed in Providence.
Faith, who is now in San Francisco, finishes off vamps in the city, gets a message from a vamp who is a minion of an ancient vampiress named Harmann and decides to head back to New England, to Rhode Island, to meet up with Buffy. She arrives there and is attacked by The Gentlemen (of the Buffy Season 4 episode, "Hush"). She defeats them and remeets Xander, and has a sisterly reunion with "B".
Giles, in England, has heard of all of the supernatural activity centered on Providence and he and Micaela travel to Rhode Island. Willow decides to bring Tara to meet Buffy and Xander, and Oz also heeds the older wolf's orders and goes to Providence. The Scoobies have a very happy reunion, especially with the resurrection of Tara (of which both Buffy and Giles are highly skeptical).
They learn of the Dark Congress which is in session above the once active hellmouth in Providence, and the court of Demons want Buffy to be their arbiter. The Sand demon Trabajo is reunited with his lover, Kandida, but the two have a short reunion when Kandida's heart is ripped out. Trabajo is about to accuse a few of the members of the Congress and attack them, which would send the Congress in chaos and start an inevitable apocalypse. Buffy must keep that from happening by finding Kandida's killers and bringing them before the Council before Trabajo has a chance at them.
The suspects are; Haarmann, the ancient vampiress; Willow's new suspicious and very intimidating teacher, Catherine; and Malik a rogue "Champion" for The Powers that Be, and his group of warriors who will kill anything connected to demons, including demons who aren't harmful, and even Slayers.
Buffy is horrified and disgusted to be included. After all she is not a demon...is she? She knows so little about her powers that she can't say for certain where they truly spring from. How can she spend so much time wallowing in the darkness without becoming part of it? Can she possibly agree to a truce with all the horrors of the world, and allow them to come to Providence without any attempt to stop them? Does she have a choice?
Meanwhile, can Willow and Tara come to terms with their denial that Tara's resurrection is anything but unnatural?
## Continuity
### Characters
* Confirmed characters include Buffy, Xander, Willow, Faith, Oz, Giles, and a resurrected Tara.
* New characters include, watcher Micaela, Trabajo, Kandida, and Malik & his group of Champions.
### Timing
* Intended to be set after BtVS's seventh season. Golden has commented, "Set a couple of months after season seven's wrap-up."
### Canonical Issues
*Buffy* novels such as this one are not usually considered canon by the fans. Some consider them stories from the imaginations of authors and artists, while others think of them as taking place in an alternate reality. However, these novels are not mere fan fiction, as overviews which summarize their plots are approved early on by both FOX and Joss Whedon (or at least his office). The books are then published as official *Buffy*/*Angel* merchandise.
* Joss Whedon's canonical *Buffy the Vampire Slayer* season eight comics series may leave the novel out of canonical continuity. Golden has said "with Joss bringing the comics back with his own season eight, all I could do was try to go by the few glimpses we've had of that storyline. But the novels have always had their own continuity which is not the same as, but is parallel to and as similar as possible to the official continuity." When asked about Season Eight's influence, he stated "I knew almost nothing about the comics before the manuscript was out of my hands. I'd seen only a few sample pages of Season 8, and tried to do what I could to keep it in line with what I learned from those few pages."
* Golden has said that *Dark Congress* is not canonical with the other post-S7 Buffy novel, Nancy Holder's *Queen of the Slayers*.
* The only allusion to the official Season 8 Comics, is Buffy stating that Dawn is taking care of their Headquarters in Scotland. Scotland is the setting where Buffy, Xander, Dawn and their squad of Slayers live in Season 8.

Kerala Kingdom
|
The Keralas or Udra Keralas were a royal dynasty mentioned in Sanskrit epics of ancient India. In the Mahabharata, the Keralian Empire took part in the Kurukshetra War by feeding both armies. According to the Puranas, the navigators and survivors of the Yadavas of Dwaraka also settled in Kerala later. Some remnants of the Naga culture are also found here. This Kerala Kingdom has been identified with the Chera kingdom, which existed from the 5th century BCE to the 12th century CE in present-day Kerala state and Tamil Nadu in South India. The Pandyas, Cheras and the Cholas were mentioned in Tamil literature, complementing their mention in the existing Sanskrit literature.

# Kerala Kingdom
The **Keralas** or **Udra Keralas** were a royal dynasty mentioned in Sanskrit epics of ancient India. In the Mahabharata, the Keralian Empire took part in the Kurukshetra War by feeding both armies. According to the Puranas, the navigators and survivors of the Yadavas of Dwaraka also settled in Kerala later. Some remnants of the Naga culture are also found here.
This Kerala Kingdom has been identified with the Chera kingdom, which existed from the 5th century BCE to the 12th century CE in present-day Kerala state and Tamil Nadu in South India. The Pandyas, Cheras and the Cholas were mentioned in Tamil literature (consisting of *Silappatikaram*, *Tirukkural* etc.), complementing their mention in the existing Sanskrit literature (constituted by the Puranas, Vedas, Ramayana and the Mahabharata).
## Legend of King Mahabali
### Remembrance of King Mahabali
The modern people of Kerala, Karnataka along with other southern states of India, celebrate the King Mahabali who it is believed, was the Emperor of Bharatavarsha in pre-ancient times, several aeons ago. The biggest festival of Kerala is Onam, celebrated in the remembrance of King Mahabali. Mahabali was described in ancient Indian texts as belonging to the Asuras, who were half-siblings of Devas.
### Relationship between the Asuras and Bhargavas
Small pockets of Asura regions existed in Northern **India** and regions beyond the Himalayas as well. *Vrishaparvan*, was a famous Asura King. The founder of the *Puru dynasty* of kings (described in the epic Mahabharata as the forefather of the Pandavas and Kauravas), viz King Puru, was the son of Sarmishta, the daughter of King Vrishaparvan. Vrishaparvan's priest was the sage Sukra, (alias Venus), who was a Bhargava (the son or a descendant of the sage Bhrigu.) Often, the Asura Kings chose sages in the line of Bhrigu as their priests, whereas the Devas chose sages in the line of Brihaspati or Angiras, as their priests. Mahabali was yet another king whose priest also was named **Sukra**, in the line of Bhrigu.
### The role of Vamana
The legend of Vamana coming and disrupting the sacrifice of Mahabali is as follows: *Vamana (meaning a dwarf-bodied man), who was a small Brahmin Boy, came and requested of the King Mahabali, three feet of land as alms, for his daily use and for practising his daily ceremonial customs. Mahabali agreed to it, in spite of the warning by the Bhargava **Sukra**, his priest. Vamana, after getting the consent of the King, started to measure the three feet of land he wanted. But prior to that, he grew in size to unimaginably large, and then he measured the land he wanted in just two steps - the first covering all-sky, and the second taking up all earth, and therefore in effect, covered the whole of Mahabali's Kingdom. Upon Mahabali's own request, (so as to be able to fulfil his given promise of three feet of land), Vamana placed his third step on the head of Mahabali and sent him to the netherworld. Vamana stands as the guard of Mahabali in the netherworld. Vamana also gave Mahabali a boon, that his subjects and everybody else in all the ages to come, would always remember him as a great, virtuous and true King forever, and that every year he would be able to come and see them. It is to supposedly commemorate his arrival every year that the festival of Onam is celebrated. This event is commemorated in Karnataka with the festival of Bali padyami that's observed every year on first day after amavase full moon night that marks the beginning of karthika masa or to be precise this festival is celebrated during deepavali every year.*
In terms of modern scholarship, and according to the existing line of thinking with regard to recorded Indian History, this legend can be interpreted as follows. Vamana represents the arrival of a new foreign tribe into the Kingdom of Mahabali. Since Vamana was described as the son of Sage Kashyapa this new tribe could be the Kashyapa tribe. They asked the King for a small piece of land for their settling in his Kingdom. The King consented to it, in spite of the warning of his priest, the Bhargava Sukra. The Bhargavas were already aware of the Kashyapas as another priest-class but as having adherence to the Deva group of beings. The consequence of this consent by Mahabali was that the Kashyapas, starting from their small settlement permitted for occupation by the King, spread throughout the Kingdom of Mahabali and finally overthrew him or his Dynasty from his Kingship. Mahabali was later forgotten and existed only in the minds of his loyal subjects as a great King.
The transfer of power from the Bhargavas to the Kashyapas might also be interpreted from the legend of Bhargava Rama, where it is described that Bhargava Rama, after overthrowing the Kshatriya rulers of Central India, took the lordship of their lands and transferred the lands and the wealth to the Kashyapas, before retiring to the woods.
Thus the legend of Vamana, can be interpreted in a way to signify the transfer of power from the Asura Kings and their Bhargava Priests, to the Deva worshipping rulers and their Kashyapa Priests.
## Roles of Sages Agastya and Vasistha
The Sage Agastya was so popular in the South Indian Kingdoms including the Kerala Kingdom. Agastya was described as a brother of Sage Vasistha. Sage Vasistha is also linked with the story of the Kerala tribe as per the epic Mahabharata. (See Mbh 1.177 and the section named **The Myth regarding the birth of Kerala Tribe**) This epic also says that Agastya and Vasistha were the sons of the ancient Devas Mitra and Varuna. Both were Gods common to the Deva and Asura groups of pre-ancient beings. But the Deva group demoted Varuna, who was one of the important deities of both the groups, to the status of the Sea-God while Indra took over the role of Varuna as the main God for them. But the Asura group maintained their reverence for both Varuna and Mitra.
It is believed, that there was a hermitage of Agastya near Panchavati or Nasik, where Raghava Rama made his temporary abode. There are numerous places in Kerala and Tamil Nadu, believed to be related to Agastya, like *Agastyavata*, *Agasteswara*, etc. The attribution of Sage Agastya, as a son of the Sea-God Varuna, could be due to his being good at sea navigation and probably sea warfare as well. Indra and other Devas sought the help of Agastya, in defeating a clan of Asuras called *Kalakeyas*, who were ferocious sea-warriors.
## References of Keralas in the Mahabharata
### The story about the origin of the Keralas
* Mahabharata, Book 1, Chapter 177
When the sage Vasistha was attacked by king Viswamitra's army, Vasistha's cow, Kamadehnu, brought forth from her tail, an army of Palhavas, and from her udders, an army of Dravidas and Sakas; and from her womb, an army of Yavanas, and from her dung, an army of Savara's; and from her urine, an army of Kanchis; and from her sides, an army of Savaras. And from the froth of her mouth came out hosts of Paundras and Kiratas, Yavanas, Sinhalas, Khasas, Chivukas, Pulindas, Chinas, Hunas, **Keralas**, and also the Mlechchhas.
### List of provinces of Bharata Varsha (Ancient India)
Chapter (6:9) of Mahabharata mentions the kingdoms and provinces of ancient India (Bharata Varsha). In this list we found mention of Keralas two times, on along with many north Indian kingdoms like Videha and Magadha and the other along with South Indian kingdoms like the Dravidas, the Mushikas, Karanatakas, the Mahishakas the Cholas etc.
**Keralas in North India**:- .....the Aswakas, the Pansurashtras, the Goparashtras, and the Karityas; the Adhirjayas, the Kuladyas, the Malla-Rashtras, the **Keralas**, the Varatrasyas, the Apavahas, the Chakras, the Vakratapas, the Sakas; the Videhas, the Magadhas.
**Keralas in South India**:- There are other kingdoms in the south. They are the Dravidas, the **Keralas**, the Prachyas, the Mushikas, and the Vanavashikas; the Karanatakas, the Mahishakas, the Vikalpas, and also the Mushakas; the Jhillikas, the Kuntalas, the Saunridas, and the Nalakananas; the Kankutakas, the Cholas, and the Malavayakas; the Samangas, the Kanakas, the Kukkuras, and the Angara-marishas; the Samangas, the Karakas, the Kukuras, the Angaras, the Marishas.
### Sahadevas military campaign
* Mahabharata, Book 2, Chapter 30
Sahadeva vanquished and brought under his subjection numberless kings of the Mlechchha tribe living on the sea coast, and the Nishadas and the cannibals and even the Karnapravarnas, and those tribes also called the Kalamukhas who was a cross between human beings and Rakshasas, and the whole of the Cole mountains, and also Surabhipatna, and the island called the Copper island, and the mountain called Ramaka. He, having brought under subjection king Timingila, conquered a wild tribe known by the name of the **Kerakas** who were men with one leg (*probably mentioning people living along with the trees with one trunk i.e. the coconut tree*).
He also conquered the town of Sanjayanti and the country of the Pashandas and the Karanatakas by means of his messengers alone and made all of them pay tributes to him. The hero brought under his subjection and exacted tributes from the Paundrayas and the Dravidas along with the **Udra-Keralas** and the Andhras and the Talavanas (Telingas?), the Kalingas and the Ushtrakarnikas, and also the delightful city of Atavi and that of the Yavanas. Having arrived at the seashore, he then dispatched messengers unto the illustrious Vibhishana (of Lanka), the grandson of Pulastya.
### Keralas role in the Kurukshetra War
* Mahabharata, Book 8, Chapter 12
The Pandavas, headed by Vrikodara (Bhima), advanced against the Kauravas. They consisted of Dhrishtadyumna and Shikhandi and the five sons of Draupadi and the Prabhadrakas, and Satyaki and Chekitana with the Dravida forces, and the Pandyas, the Cholas, and the **Keralas**, surrounded by a mighty array, all possessed of broad chests, long arms, tall statures, and large eyes.
### Karna's opinion about the Keralas
* Mahabharata, Book 8, Chapter 44
*Karna, due to his enmity towards Shalya, who was from the Vahlika tribe of Madra, dislikes all these tribes that had cultures similar to that of Shalya. Thus he rebukes many cultural traits of this group, including that of a sister's son inheriting property rather than one's own son.*
There (Punjab) where the five rivers flow just after issuing from the mountains, there among the Aratta-Vahikas, no respectable person should dwell even for two days. There are two Pishacas named Vahi and Hika in the river Vipasa. The Vahikas are the offspring of those two Pishacas. The Karashakas, the Mahishakas, the Kalingas, the **Keralas**, the Karkotakas, the Virakas, and other peoples of no religion, one should always avoid.

Lexicon (game)
|
Lexicon is a computer-assisted role-playing game invented by Neel Krishnaswami and popularised by the indie role-playing game community. As originally proposed, it is played online using wiki software. Players assume the role of scholars who write the history and background of a particular fictitious time, setting, or incident. As the game goes on, the players collaboratively create an elaborately interwoven account. Each game is a series of 26 turns, keyed to the letters of the alphabet from A to Z. On the first turn, each player must write an Encyclopedia-style entry beginning with the letter A, citing and linking to two entries that are not yet written. These are called "undefined" entries. Undefined entries must begin with a letter later in the alphabet. The 25 subsequent turns proceed consecutively through the letters of the alphabet, one letter per turn. In a turn, each player writes one entry that begins with the turn's specified letter. If one or more undefined entries are available that begin with the letter, a player must choose and write an undefined entry before any new entries can be created under that letter. A new entry must create and link to two undefined entries, and must also link to an entry written on a previous turn. Near the endgame, when sufficient undefined entries exist to occupy all players for the remainder of the game, no new undefined entries may be created. Many variants exist, such as covering two or three letters per turn, or starting each player on a different letter. Some games permit other players to post comments or expansions of earlier entries. The optional "Rule of X" treats X as a wild card; entries for the X turn may begin with any letter. "Telephone pad" is a shorter variant with 8 turns instead of 26 turns.

# Lexicon (game)
**Lexicon** is a computer-assisted role-playing game invented by Neel Krishnaswami and popularised by the indie role-playing game community. As originally proposed, it is played online using wiki software. Players assume the role of scholars who write the history and background of a particular fictitious time, setting, or incident. As the game goes on, the players collaboratively create an elaborately interwoven account.
Each game is a series of 26 turns, keyed to the letters of the alphabet from A to Z. On the first turn, each player must write an Encyclopedia-style entry beginning with the letter A, citing and linking to two entries that are not yet written. These are called "undefined" entries. Undefined entries must begin with a letter later in the alphabet.
The 25 subsequent turns proceed consecutively through the letters of the alphabet, one letter per turn. In a turn, each player writes one entry that begins with the turn's specified letter. If one or more undefined entries are available that begin with the letter, a player must choose and write an undefined entry before any new entries can be created under that letter. A new entry must create and link to two undefined entries, and must also link to an entry written on a previous turn. Near the endgame, when sufficient undefined entries exist to occupy all players for the remainder of the game, no new undefined entries may be created.
Many variants exist, such as covering two or three letters per turn, or starting each player on a different letter. Some games permit other players to post comments or expansions of earlier entries. The optional "Rule of X" treats X (or any other appropriate letter) as a wild card; entries for the X turn may begin with any letter. "Telephone pad" is a shorter variant with 8 turns (corresponding to the letters on a telephone keypad) instead of 26 turns (one per letter of the alphabet).

Locution is a paranormal phenomenon or supernatural revelation where a religious figure, statue or icon speaks, usually to a saint. Phenomena of locutions are described in the lives of Christian saints such as Saint Mary of Egypt, who heard the locution from the Icon of Virgin Mary at the Holy Sepulchre or in case of the Saint Henry of Coquet Island who experienced the locution from the figure of Christ crucified.

# Locution (paranormal)
**Locution** (from Latin *locutio*, -onis a "speaking" \< *loqui* "speak") is a paranormal phenomenon or supernatural revelation where a religious figure, statue or icon speaks, usually to a saint. Phenomena of locutions are described in the lives of Christian saints such as Saint Mary of Egypt (5th century), who heard the locution from the Icon of Virgin Mary at the Holy Sepulchre or in case of the Saint Henry of Coquet Island (d. 1127) who experienced the locution from the figure of Christ crucified.
## Locutions in Christianity
The Oxford Dictionary of Saints (1978) reports the locution phenomenon in the life of the St. Henry of Coquet (p. 189), a Dane by birth, who was a hermit on an island off the British coast by Tynemouth:
"After some years a party of Danes tried to persuade him to return to his own country, where there was no lack of site suitable for hermits. But after a night in prayer and *experience of a locution from the figure of Christ crucified*, he decided to stay on. As his holiness became known, visitors became numerous, attracted by his special gifts of prophesy, telekinesis and reading the secrets of hearts".
Likewise, similar locution case is reported in the life of Saint Mary of Egypt (p. 271, same edition):
"Once at Jerusalem, she was held back from entering the church with the other pilgrims by an invisible and irresistible force. Lifting her eyes to an icon of the Blessed Virgin, she was told to go over the Jordan where she would find rest".

# 75 mm Field Gun M1897 on M2 Carriage
The **75 mm Field Gun M1897 on M2 Carriage** was a field gun and anti-tank gun which was used by the US Army during the interwar period and World War II.
## History
When the United States entered World War I on the side of the Allied Powers in 1917, it lacked sufficient arms to supply its rapidly expanding armed forces. Although the United States had been providing arms and supplies to the Allies, few of these weapons were being used to arm US forces. The few weapons that the US Army did have were often of a different caliber than British or French weapons, thus using incompatible ammunition. When the United States entered the war, the Allies had an adequate supply of arms but they were running short of manpower; since the United States had more manpower than weapons, the Allies decided it made logistical sense to use British- and French-supplied weapons to arm American forces to bring them rapidly into action rather than wait for the country's industry to catch up with its armed forces.
## Design
Originally of French design, the Canon de 75 modèle 1897 was supplied to the United States in large numbers and became the standard field gun for the US Army during World War I. The *mle* 1897 was a revolutionary breech-loading artillery piece that combined a Nordenfelt eccentric screw breech, fixed "quickfire" ammunition, and a hydro-pneumatic recoil mechanism. The combination of fixed ammunition, recoil mechanism, and simple breech made the *mle* 1897 one of the fastest-firing and most accurate field guns of its era. It had a box trail carriage with a gun shield, and two wooden-spoked steel-rimmed wheels on an unsprung axle, designed for horse traction.
## World War I
In US service the *mle* 1897 was given the designation *75 mm Gun M1897*. There were 480 American 75 mm field gun batteries (over 1,900 guns) on the battlefields of France in November 1918. American industry began building the *mle* 1897 in the spring of 1918, but only 143 American-built guns had been shipped to France by 11 November 1918, and most American batteries used French-built 75s.
## Between World Wars
Although World War I had shown that direct fire, light field guns like the *mle* 1897 lacked adequate firepower to destroy an entrenched enemy, the majority of combatants had large numbers of them and had little impetus to replace them. With a limited peacetime budget, the US Army, like other armies, opted to modernize its existing medium artillery. From 1920 to 1925, the Ordnance Department modified the M1897 gun by placing it on a new carriage designed to address the shortcomings of the box trail carriage that included limited traverse, limited elevation, and limited range. The new weapon was standardized in 1926 as the "75 mm Gun M1 on Carriage M2A1." Only one battery's worth of these weapons were completed before the project stopped because of lack of funding.
The new M2A1 carriage had a sprung axle with steel disc wheels and pneumatic tires, a new gun shield, and an integrated jack. In 1932, it was accepted for small-scale production. The barrels came from 2,000 unconverted M1897s that were in storage. The conversion to the M2A1 carriages added 743 lb (337 kg). The increased elevation allowed the modernized guns to be used for both direct and indirect fire roles because of greater range (7.9 mi (12.7 km) vs 5.3 miles (8.5 km)) and greater muzzle velocity (2,000 ft/s (610 m/s) vs 1,740 ft/s (529 m/s)).
### Modernization of field artillery
In 1932, a modified gun known as the M2 was standardized for limited production. It took advantage of new projectiles and developments in high explosives. In the early 1930s, the U.S. Army Chief of Staff, General Douglas MacArthur, ordered the motorization of half of the Army's light field artillery. To achieve this, existing box trail 75 mm gun carriages were given sprung axles, steel wheels, and pneumatic tires to allow them to be towed behind vehicles at higher speeds. On January 18, 1934, the conversion kit for existing guns was standardized, and modernized guns were given the designations "75 mm Field Gun M1897A1," "75 mm Field Gun M1897A2," "75 mm Field Gun M1897A3," and "75 mm Field Gun M1897A4." The M1897A2 had an autofretted barrel, no barrel jacket, and 156° vs 120° breech mechanism. The M1897A3 and M1897A4 were similar to the M1897A2, except the M1897A4 had the muzzle guides removed and replaced by steel rails with bronze strips. The modifications added 350 lb (160 kg) of weight, but performance remained the same.
In 1934, the first conversion kits were issued to fourteen National Guard field artillery regiments. By October 1941, 871 conversions had been authorized but only 605 guns had been completed. Modernization of 75 mm guns also involved placing M1897 guns on new M2A1 carriages. Production of the M2A2 carriage began in 1936, but the conversion process was slow, and by the end of 1939 only 200 were converted. In 1940, a simplified carriage known as the M2A3 was introduced, see below.
As of 1939, the cost of modernization was about $8,000 per piece — less than a third of a new 105-mm howitzer.
By 1940, the War Department had modernized 56 of its 81 75 mm gun battalions in the Regular Army and National Guard with these two conversions. These guns were used extensively for training and pre-war exercises. However, none are believed to have been used in combat by US forces during World War II.
## World War II
After the defeat of France in the spring of 1940, the U.S. Army became worried about its lack of modern antitank guns. In July 1940, a simplified and improved carriage with the jack eliminated known as the M2A3 was introduced, and it was decided to mount M1897 guns on both M2A2 and M2A3 carriages and equip them with direct-fire sights so they could be used as anti-tank guns. 918 M2A3 carriages had been manufactured by November 1941, and a report that month stated that 554 M2A2 and 188 M2A3 carriages were in service; because of the shortage of modern artillery pieces, these guns were issued to both field artillery and anti-tank units.
In 1941, field artillery units began converting to the new 105 mm M2 Howitzer, and some M1897s were removed from their towed carriages and installed on the half-track M3 Gun Motor Carriage (GMC). The towed version and the M3 GMC was used by American Tank Destroyer battalions during operations in the North African and Italian campaigns. M3 GMCs were also used in the Pacific theater during the Philippines campaign and by Marine Regimental Weapons Companies until 1944. Their performance in an anti-tank role was adequate against Japanese and Italian armor but inadequate against late war German armor. M3 GMCs remained in use with the British in Italy and North West Europe in small numbers until the end of the war. Towed guns were also used for training and on March 8, 1945, they were declared obsolete and retired.
## Ammunition
The M1897 guns used the same 75×350 mm R ammunition as the 75 mm Gun M2/M3/M6 tank guns of the M3 Lee, M4 Sherman, M24 Chaffee, and 'gunship' version of the North American B-25 Mitchell bomber. The M2 was a L/31 gun, the M1897 was L/36, and the M3 was L/40. The muzzle velocity of the M2 was 1,930 ft/s (588 m/s), the M1897 was 2,000 ft/s (610 m/s), and the M3 was 2,030 ft/s (619 m/s). Armor penetration statistics are approximate and based on M3 data.

Henry Grattan was an Irish politician, who was Member of Parliament for Dublin City on behalf of the Whigs from 1826 to 1830 in the British House of Commons. From 1831 to 1852, he represented Meath for the Repeal Association. Grattan was called to the Irish Bar in 1810. His father, also named Henry Grattan, was a famous Irish orator and statesman. Grattan senior was MP for Dublin City, and on his father's death in 1820, Grattan junior was the Whig candidate to succeed him. However at a by-election on 30 June of that year, he was defeated by the Tory candidate, Thomas Ellis. In the 1826 general election, Grattan was returned unopposed for the Dublin City seat. He was defeated in the 1830 general election, when he finished third in the election for the two-member Dublin City seat. In 1831, Grattan was elected an MP for Meath at a by-election on 11 August 1831 after having been defeated there in the general election earlier that year. He retained his seat as a Repealer candidate in the 1832 general election and as a Liberal Repealer in 1835 and 1841. In the general election of 1847 Grattan was again elected as a Repealer candidate. However, in the 1852 general election, Grattan, standing as a Liberal, pledged to support the Irish Independent Opposition Party, was defeated.

Community economic analysis is examining how a community is put together economically and how the community responds to external and internal stimuli. Community economic analysis is a comprehensive rationale where people in a community challenge common methodologies within the system in an effort to increase net efficiency. During this process factors affecting the community are analyzed to address economic needs and to pinpoint unfulfilled opportunities. Upon completion of the analysis the group decides what can and should be done to improve the economic conditions within the community, and then move to put the agreed-on economic goals and objectives into action.

Freezland Rock is a conspicuous sharp-pointed rock, 305 metres (1,000 ft) high, located 2 nautical miles (4 km) west of Bristol Island in the South Sandwich Islands. This feature was originally named "Freezland Peak" by Captain Cook, after Samuel Freezland, the seaman who first sighted it and so discovered the South Sandwich group in 1775. Cook's chart, showing the feature as an insular rock, was verified in 1930 by Discovery Investigations personnel on the Discovery II and the terminology has been altered accordingly. Freezland Rock is the westernmost of a chain of rocks extending WSW from Turmoil Point, the westernmost point of Bristol Island. These are Grindle Rock, Wilson Rock and Freezland Rock.

# ...If One of Them is Dead
"**...If One of Them is Dead**" is the third overall, episode of *Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists*. It aired on Freeform on April 3, 2019. In this episode, the characters begin dealing with the repercussions of the investigations of Nolan's murder and begin looking into it themselves. The episode was written by Charlie Craig, directed by Geary McLeod and was watched live by 0.29 million viewers.
## Plot
Alison along with Caitlin, Dylan, and Ava begin putting the details of their alibi together so that if questioned the alibi would stick. While trying to find out information about Nolan's murder Mona is locked out of Beacon Guard's system. During class, Mason takes Nolan's former seat which leads to an altercation between Mason and Ava. Ava runs out of class and Caitlin attempts to catch up to her. Caitlin is interrupted by Dana who questions her about the same picture that Nolan was blackmailing her with. Claire gives Caitlin a present she found in Nolan's room that she assumes was for her upcoming birthday. Claire also agrees to keep the photos that Nolan was blackmailing Caitlin with under wraps.
Mona learns that the suspicious activity on her account came from one single source and she assumes that someone is trying to frame her. Caitlin visits Ava and gives her the present that she received from Claire. While practicing his cello Dylan's tablet is hacked and a photo which could possibly be used to blackmail him is the only thing showing up. Dana shows up in Dylan's room and asks him if his secrets are safe with Caitlin and Ava. Ava admits to Caitlin and Dylan that the night Nolan died she followed him out to a mysterious cabin in the woods. The three of them visit the cabin and begin searching it. They realize that they were followed to the cabin and try to hide but Alison walks in before they can. Ava tells Alison that the night Nolan died she followed him out there and that he met a blond woman who looked similar to Alison.
While Ava, Caitlin, and Dylan are driving back they find a dead rat in a box in the car with a note. Alison doubles back to the cabin and removes a flower from a shelf she thinks could be a clue. When scrolling through Instagram later, Alison finds a photo of Taylor's grave which includes the same flower she found in the cabin. Alison visits Mona and tells Mona her theory of Taylor being alive. When Caitlin is walking home she crosses paths with Mason who drops a gum wrapper similar to the one she, Ava and Dylan found in the woods leading her to believe that he was the one eavesdropping on them in the woods the night of Nolan's murder.

# Kibirigwi
**Kibirigwi** is a settlement in Kenya's Kirinyaga County of the former Central Province. The township is located along the Nairobi, Nyeri highway within Ndia Constituency. Ragati River also passes within parts of the Kibirigwi area. Kibirigwi neighbors Kibingoti and Karatina towns, the former being in Kirinyaga and the latter being in Nyeri County.
## History
The province is inhabited by the Kikuyu-speaking community who are part of the Kenya Eastern Bantu.
During Kenya's colonization by the British, much of the province was regarded as part of the 'White Highlands', for the exclusive use of the settler community. Therefore it saw political activity from the local communities who felt that they had an ancestral right to the land. This tension culminated in the 1950s with the Mau Mau rebellion; it saw the region placed under a state of emergency and the arrest of many prominent political leaders.
## Climate
The climate of Central Province is generally cooler than that of the rest of Kenya, due to the region's higher altitude. Rainfall is fairly reliable, falling in two seasons, one from early March to May (the long rains) and a second during October and November (the short rains).

# Palestine Foundries and Metal Works
The **Palestine Foundries and Metal Works** was a large ferrous metal works located near Haifa which was established in Palestine during the Mandate period.
## History
The foundry was founded by Alexander Kremener, who had previously been the Managing Director of Hartung A.G., Berlin, Germany. The company was incorporated in Palestine late in December 1933 and commenced activities the following month. The notice of incorporation gave the initial share capital as 30,000 Palestine pounds and the objects of the company as "To carry on the trade or business of iron masters, steel makers, manufacturers of and dealers in machinery, plant castings for machinery, copper and its various alloys and any other business in connection with the above." The erection of the iron and steel foundry and of enamelling works was started in June 1934.
The plant included an iron and steel foundry, the first of its kind in the Near East, an electric steel melting furnace and an enameling works. It produced enamelled bathtubs, sanitary appliances, cast iron pipes and connections, flushing cisterns and cast iron products.
In 1937, the Anglo-Palestine Bank petitioned the District Court of Haifa for the winding up of the company. The company went into voluntary liquidation in 1939.

Palma Sola massacre

The Palma Sola massacre, also known as the Liborista massacre, was carried out on 28 December 1962 against the Dominicans of the Liborista movement, who lived in Palma Sola, Dominican Republic.

# Palma Sola massacre
The **Palma Sola massacre**, also known as the **Liborista massacre**, was carried out on 28 December 1962 against the Dominicans of the *Liborista movement*, who lived in Palma Sola, Dominican Republic.
## Background
Olivorio Mateo, known as *Papá Liborio*, was a religious healer and popular leader of the early twentieth century in the southern region of the country, who created a self-reliant commune in the mountains of San Juan de la Maguana. Born to an impoverished family, he reportedly disappeared during a 1908 hurricane, that swept the south-west region of the country. When his family performed a *novena* (nine days of prayer for the dead), he suddenly reappeared. Olivorio had claimed that he was transported to heaven and was sent back to earth by God. He was received as an incarnate of Jesus Christ and was worshipped.
Liborio had established a cult in the region, and the idea of fighting for "the salvation of the world and build a different world" based on criteria of equality and solidarity. During the United States occupation of the Dominican Republic, he was branded as a threat and was persecuted and killed.
### Liborista movement
This messianic legacy was collected in 1962 by Romilio and León Ventura Rodriguez, twin brothers and liborista priests, who established a new commune, north of Palma Sola, near Las Matas de Farfán and led a movement that followed the preachings that Olivorio Mateo had reported 40 years earlier.
In addition to the area, general Alcantara Miguel Angel Ramírez, a former exile in Central America, vivified and increased the influence of the twin priests in the inserting area in political activities. The election results strongly favored them with help from influential people in the region, and in political terms, created branches of Palma Sola.
## Events
This religious community in Palma Sola who followed the preachings of Olivorio Mateo, was considered a threat to the social economic, and religious status quo. On 26 December 1962, the Dominican government decided to end the mass movement, prompting the dispatch of a military contingent killing 600 people in the area. Among those dead was inspector general Miguel Rodríguez Reyes of the Dominican armed forces, who allegedly arrived on the same day to negotiate a treaty and was considered an accidental casualty of the strike.
Some manifestations of this cult still exist in the southern region of the Dominican Republic.
