The economy of Magadan is mostly reliant on the mining of minerals, like gold, silver and tin. Hence in 2005, President Vladimir Putin has supported reducing tax for businesses involved in mineral mining. Another major industry in the area is fishing. There are limited rearing of animals or growing of crops because of the climate. This results in having to bring in food products to supply the people living in Magadan. Many people in the area do not have jobs. This is because a lot of companies have closed down due to the harsh climate and the poor condition of buildings and equipment. The government has allowed for the Special Economic Zone in Magadan to be created and extended till December 31, 2025. This was done to attract investors and business to come to Magadan.
The Governor of Magadan is the leader of the oblast. The Governor is chosen by public vote every five years. The Magadan Oblast Duma, is the oblast's parliament. The Duma lawmakers are chosen similarly by the public every five years. The majority of lawmakers in the Duma are currently from the United Russia party. The United Russia party is the ruling party of Russia.
Magadan is currently only connected with the rest of Russia by a road called the Kolyma Highway. There are no railway operating in the area. But there have been plans for the near future to have a railway line running towards Chukotka while cutting through Magadan. Long-distance travel can also be done by air or sea. The oblast has several airports, such as the Sokol Airport. Flights from these airports link Magadan to cities further away. However there are no international flights into the area.

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney − Spirit of Justice
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney − Spirit of Justice (known in Japan as ) is a visual novel adventure video game. The game was developed and released by Capcom. It is the sixth game in the "Ace Attorney" video game series. The game came out for the Nintendo 3DS in Japan in June 2016. After that, in September 2016 the game came out on the 3DS in Europe and North America. It also came out on iOS and Android in September 2017. The game came out after "" which was the fifth game in the series.
The game shows the story of the three main lawyers in "Dual Destinies", Phoenix Wright, Apollo Justice, and Athena Cykes. It also introduces a new location in the game, the fictional "Kingdom of Khura'in" that was not in the other games and brings back characters from the older games.
"Spirit of Justice" is very similar to the older games in the "Ace Attorney" series. People playing the game will be one of the three main characters in the game; Phoenix Wright, Apollo Justice, and Athena Cykes and they will defend their clients in court. Each section of the game has two types of gameplay. They are the investigations and trials. In the investigations, the players have to get information from people and look for evidence. In the trials, players will use the evidence to find contradictions.
Many things that were in older games came back to "Spirit of Justice", like the "Psyche-Locks" from "" or "Perceiving" from "". New things in the game include "Divination Séances". In the divination séances, the players have to pay close attention to what happens.
The story of "Spirit of Justice" begins one year after the game before it, "Dual Destinies". The game's setting is in Los Angeles, California like all of the other games. The game also introduces a new location, the kingdom of Khura'in (which is not real). The kingdom of Khura'in in the game is in South Asia. Almost half of the game is set in the kingdom of Khura'in and the rest is in Los Angeles. Many characters come back in the game from the older games.
The game begins when Phoenix goes to Khura'in to visit Maya Fey (who came back from ""). This is because Maya was about to finish training for spirit channeling. When Phoenix gets to Khura'in, his tour guide is accused of stealing an artifact, the "Founder's Orb" and murder. Phoenix learns that Khura'in is against lawyers. This is because in Khura'in there is a law called the Defence Culpability Act where if a criminal is found guilty, then the lawyer will also be given the same punishment. He also learns that most of the lawyers in Khura'in were executed under this law. He defends Ahlbi and proves him not guilty.
In Los Angeles, Athena and Apollo are defending Trucy Wright. Trucy is the daughter of Phoenix. They are defending her against the prosecutor Nahyuta Sadhmadhi. This was after she was accused of killing someone while she was performing on stage. In Khura'in, Phoenix reunites with Maya. He then has to defend Maya after she is accused of killing a priest. Phoenix also meets a member of the Defiant Dragons. In the game, the Defiant Dragons are doing a nonviolent revolution. He finds out that the leader of the group, Dhurke Sahdmadhi is Nahyuta's father.
"Spirit of Justice" was produced by Motohide Eshiro. It was directed by Takeshi Yamazaki and Takuro Fuse. Yamazaki was in charge of the game's story. Fuse was in charge of how the game looked and how players would play the game. Most of the game's music was made by Noriyuki Iwadare. Some of the other music was made by Toshihiko Horiyama and Masami Onodera. Horiyama had also made the music for "". Capcom first began talking about it in December 2013. This was when they were thinking about ideas for the new game. The game was announced in Japan and North America in September 2015. When Capcom announced the game, it was almost 30% finished. Most of the development was finished in the end of 2015. The people making the game were already working on adding the last things in the game.
Yamazaki was the only director for "Dual Destinies". When he was finished with "Dual Destinies", he became very tired of working on "Ace Attorney" games and he wanted to stop working on those games. Eshiro wanted him to continue working on the games. Eshiro brought Yamazaki to a press conference in Taiwan and the San Diego Comic-Con. This was so that Yamazaki could meet with the media and fans of the series.

2018 California wildfires
The 2018 California wildfires killed more people and did more damage than any other year on record. More than 7,500 wildfires burned an area of . That was the largest number of acres burned in a recorded fire season, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal Fire) and National Interagency Fire Center, as of November 11, 2018.
The fires caused more than US$2.975 billion in damage. That included $1.366 billion in wildfire suppression costs. Through the end of August 2018, Cal Fire alone spent over $432 million on operations.
The Mendocino Complex Fire was the biggest wildfire in California history. This fire caused over $257 million in damage. At least one firefighter was killed.
The Camp Fire did more damage than any other in California history. The fire alone destroyed or damaged more than 17,000 homes and businesses. It also killed 84 people.

Firefighting is the act of trying to prevent the spread of and put out unwanted fires. The fires can be in buildings, vehicles, woodlands, and other places. A firefighter puts out fires to protect property, people and the environment.
Firefighters usually go through a lot of technical training. This includes fighting fires in buildings, cars and the woods.
One of the major hazards with firefighting is the poisonous environment made by things burning. Four major risks are smoke, oxygen deficiency, high temperatures and poisons in the air. To protect themselves from smoke, firefighters will wear a device called a breathing apparatus.
One way to put out fires is to spray them with water. The water does two things: it vaporizes when it comes in contact with fire. The water vapor leaves the fire with less oxygen, which it needs to keep burning. The other thing water does is make things cooler. That can keep the fire from burning because things will not burn if they are not hot enough.

Neo-Luddism or new Luddism is a movement of people who are against modern technology. The word Luddite can be an offensive term to describe someone who is afraid of technology.
The movement is named after the English Luddites, who were active between 1811 and 1816. The Luddites were textile workers. They were against the new textile machinery. They believed that the machines would replace the workers over time. In response, the Luddites destroyed many of the textile machines.
Neo-Luddites are concerned about the effect technology has on the environment, people, and/or communities.
The neo-Luddite movement has connections with the anti-globalisation movement, anarcho-primitivism, and radical environmentalism.
The Luddites were an early 19th century radical group which destroyed textile machinery as a form of protest. The group was protesting against the use of machinery in a "fraudulent and deceitful manner" to get around standard labour practices. They were English textile workers who took an oath to resist machinery in the textile industry.
Luddites feared that the time spent learning the skills of their craft would go to waste as machines would replace their role in the industry. They were largely correct but, on the other hand, the textile industry grew to be a major exporter of cloth.
It is not quite right that Luddites protested against the machinery itself in an attempt to halt progress. However, over time, the term has come to mean one opposed to industrialisation, automation, or new technologies in general.
The Luddite movement began in Nottingham and ended in a region-wide rebellion that lasted from 1811 to 1816. Mill and factory owners took to shooting protesters. Eventually the movement was suppressed with military force.
Sakha Republic
The Republic of Sakha also known as Yakutia is one of 85 federal subjects of Russia. It is in the Siberia area of Russia. It is grouped and governed as part of the Far Eastern District. The Far Eastern District contains ten other federal subjects too. Sakha is the largest federal subject of Russia. It stretches across three time zones between UTC+9 and UTC+11. The name Yakutia is also used to refer to the same area. The Yakut people speak a Turkic language.
In the past, Yakutia was home to small groups of native tribesmen that hunt to survive. In the 13th to 14 century, the Yakuts started moving north from Lake Baikal to the area. Most of the Yakuts merged or took over the lands of these native tribesmen.
The Yakuts were different from the other tribesmen because they reared cattle, horses and practiced blacksmith skills. These skills allowed them to stay longer in one place. During the 17th century, the Russians, who were Europeans, first arrived in the region. The Yakut tribes united under the famous King Tygyn Darkhan to fight the Russians. But the Yakuts lost because they did not have guns. The Russians then brought the Yakuts under their control and continued to move eastwards. Years later, many people were punished by sending them to live in Yakutia in exile. This was because Yakutia was far from most places. Between 1921 and 1923, during the Russian Civil War, the area was the last land remaining under the control of the White Russians. The area was eventually brought under the control of the Bolsheviks's Red Army. This event was known as the Yakut Revolt.
Under Stalin's rule, several gulags were opened in the area. These gulags were used to house the growing forced labour population. These labourers were brought in to mine the gold minerals to pay for the Soviet Union's industrialization. After the Soviet Union collapsed, Yakutia was given the name Republic of Sakha and continues to be a republic in Russia.
Sakha is in the north part of Eastern Siberia. Because Sakha is very big, it experiences both polar tundra and subarctic climate. Both climates have long, cold winters, and short, mild summers. There is not a lot of rainfall in the area because of the climate. The tundra climate makes the northern part of Sakha empty and mostly frozen. The subarctic climate allows the southern part of Sakha to have taiga type of forests.
These forests have many animals and birds. There are several mountain ranges around Sakha as well. The Lena Pillars are rock structures found in Sakha. The Lena Pillars are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The region is also rich in minerals like diamond, gold, and coal. The area is also famous for its extreme temperatures. For example during winter the temperature can go to as low as and during summer as high as .
Sakha's population at the end of the Soviet Union decreased for some time according to data. It is currently increasing again. More than half of the population live in cities and towns. Most that do so live in the capital, Yakutsk. Ethnic Yakuts who are Turkic people compose of about half of the population. Russians mostly make up the other half of the population. Most people in Sakha practice Orthodox Christianity or are atheists. Certain aspects of Shamanism, which is a belief that worships spirits and nature, is still practiced by ethnic Yakuts. In recent times, more natives have shown increasing interest in practicing Shamanism. Russian is taught and used commonly in Sakha. But the Yakut language is still commonly used between different native tribes, that are not Yakuts, to talk to one another. Yakut is also taught in some schools and is also used at home.
The Olonkho is a famous Yakut tale about great people and animals. It talks about legends and present day issues like the breaking apart of Yakut families. It is only performed by experts who have learn the tale thoroughly. This is because the tale is very long. The tale is part of the UNESCO Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. This means that the tale is widely accepted to be important and needs to prevented from being forgotten.
The Republic Day is celebrated on April 27 every year. It celebrates the formation of Yakut ASSR during the Soviet Union in 1922. The Yhyаkh festival is celebrated between 10 and 25 June every year. It is one of two New Year's Day celebrated by the Yakut people. The other being the more recognized New Year's Day in January. It is celebrated to mark the start of the short summer.
The economy of Sakha mostly relies on the mining of minerals like diamonds, gold, tin and coal. It is the region's largest producer of minerals and raw materials. Sakha also produces 99% of Russia's diamonds. This accounts for about 25% of the world's diamond output. The making of construction materials, jewellery and medicine are also major industries in Sakha. In contrast, the native Yakut people rear cattle and horses or hunt and fish to provide for themselves as well.
The Head of Sakha is the leader of the republic. The Head is chosen by public vote every five years. The Il Tumen (Legislative Assembly), is the republic's parliament. The Il Tumen are chosen similarly by the public every five years. The majority of lawmakers in the Il Tumen are currently from the United Russia party. The United Russia party is the ruling party of Russia.
Sakha lies north of the important Trans-Siberian railway and Trans-Siberian Highway. Thus there is some distance between the republic and the main travelling routes across the country. The main road link in Sakha is the Lena Highway towards the south or the Kolyma Highway towards the east. The roads can generally be passed all year round, except across the Lena River where there is no bridge. Therefore, cars have to take a ferry across the river during summer or drive on the ice in winter. The Amur-Yakutsk train line connects Sakha with the rest of the Trans-Siberian railway. The republic has several airports, including the Yakutsk International Airport. Flights from these airports link Sakha to cities further away. The usage of the Northern Sea Route to transport goods is also possible at certain times of the year.

The Settlers of Catan, sometimes called Catan or Settlers for short, is a board game. More than one person plays Catan at a time. The Settlers of Catan was designed by Klaus Teuber and first published in 1995 in Germany by Franckh-Kosmos Verlag (Kosmos) as Die Siedler von Catan. People play as settlers, each try to build holdings while trading and getting resources. Players get points as their settlements grow. The first player to reach a set number of points, usually 10, wins. The game and its many expansions are also published by Mayfair Games, Filosofia, Capcom, 999 Games, Κάισσα, and Devir.
"The Settlers of Catan" became one of the first German-style board games to become popular outside Europe. , more than 22 million copies in 30 languages had been sold.
The game involves a lot of strategy, while still being fairly easy to learn.
The players in the game represent settlers creating colonies on the island of Catan. Players build settlements, cities, and roads to connect them as they settle the island. The game board, which represents the island, is made out of of tiles with six sides. (hexes) of different land types, which are laid out randomly at the beginning of each game. Newer editions of the game began to have a fixed layout in their manual, which has been proven by computer simulations to be fair. They recommend this to be used by beginners. In 2016, editions of the game were released with a conventional fixed layout board in this configuration. The hexes of these editions cannot be rearranged.
Teuber's original design was for a large game of exploration and development in a new land. Between 1993 and 1995 Teuber and Kosmos refined and simplified the game into its current form. Unused mechanics from that design went on to be used in Teuber's following games, "Entdecker" and "Löwenherz." The game's first expansion, "," adds the concept of exploration, and the combined game (sometimes known as "New Shores") is probably the closest game to Teuber's original intentions.
List of United States congressional districts
Congressional districts in the United States are electoral divisions for electing members of the United States House of Representatives. There are now 435 voting seats in the House of Representatives. Each seat represents around 711,000 people. There have been 435 voting seats since 1913, except for a temporary increase to 437 after the admissions of Alaska and Hawaii. The total number of state members is capped by the "Reapportionment Act of 1929". Also, each of the five inhabited U.S. territories and the federal district of Washington, D.C. sends a non-voting delegate to the House of Representatives.
The Bureau of the Census counts the number of people in the United States every ten years. This is called the decennial census. The numbers from the Census are used to figure out how many representavies each state gets. This is called "apportionment". The 2012 elections were the first to be based on the congressional districts which were defined based on the 2010 United States Census.
Each state is in charge of the redistricting of districts within their state, and several states have one "at-large" division. Redistricting must take place if the number of members changes after a reapportionment, or may take place at any other time if demographics represented in a district has changed substantially. Districts may sometimes retain the same boundaries while changing their district numbers.
The following is a complete list of the 435 current congressional districts for the House of Representatives, and over 200 obsolete (no longer being used) districts, and the six current and one obsolete non-voting delegations.
"See Non-voting delegations, below."
The oldest district in the country, it has never changed its shape or size. From 1813 to 1823, Delaware had two representatives—both chosen at-large on a general ticket from the same statewide district.
Until 1820, Maine was part of Massachusetts. After the 1810 census, Massachusetts was allocated 20 districts. Seven Massachusetts districts (then numbered through ) were credited to Maine soon after it became a state in 1820. See District of Maine.
This list includes the 435 current voting districts, along with the District of Columbia's non-voting delegation.
