# Sunset Reservoir

Sunset Reservoir is one of three terminal reservoirs in the Regional Water System in San Francisco, California. The reservoir, the city's largest, is located in the Sunset District at 24th Avenue and Ortega Street, and is owned and maintained by the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission. Completed in 1960, the subterranean reservoir was constructed as an 11-acre (4.5 ha), 1,000 by 500 feet (300 m × 150 m), concrete basin, now containing 720 floor-to-ceiling columns. With its maximum depth of 33 ft (10 m), the reservoir's capacity is 270 acre⋅ft (330,000 m$^3$) with average daily flows of 46 acre-feet (57,000 m$^3$) through 42-inch (1.1 m) inlet/outlet pipes.

## Seismic upgrades

* Seismic rehabilitation, which would include stabilization of the soil dam embankment (completed); a retrofit of the walls and roof using seismic joints, shear walls, diagonal bracing, and struts; and foundation improvements.
* General rehabilitation, which would include repairing deteriorated concrete, replacing part of the reservoir lining material, replacing inlet piping, installing security fencing, upgrading the landscaping, and other miscellaneous site improvements.

## Solar project

The Sunset Reservoir Solar Project has installed 25,000 solar panels on the 480,000 sq ft (45,000 m$^2$) roof of the reservoir. The 5-megawatt plant more than tripled the city's 2-megawatt solar generation capacity. It opened in December 2010 in a ceremony introduced by then Mayor Gavin Newsom.

# CSR SDD7

The CSR SDD7 is a 2,249 hp diesel-electric locomotive manufactured by CSR Corporation Limited from 2013 onwards for use in Argentina by Trenes Argentinos, a subsidiary of Ferrocarriles Argentinos S.E. On the San Martín Line in Buenos Aires Province, 24 of these locomotives are used, making up the entire rolling stock of the commuter rail line.

## Technical specifications

The locomotive has one conductor's cabin on each end, connected by an internal corridor. Its total weight is 114 tonnes with a maximum weight per axle of 19 tonnes. The 3516B engine is manufactured by Caterpillar and generates 1678 kW, with the locomotive having a maximum speed of 120 km/h. Each axle has an independent traction motor, which are controlled by two microprocessors.
Each locomotive has a 6000-litre fuel capacity, carries 420 kg of lubricants, 800 litres of water and 400 kg of sand in its sandboxes.

## Usage

In Argentina, the locomotives are used exclusively for the San Martín Line of the General San Martín Railway. Despite there being plans for electrification, the 24 trains make up the entirety of the line's rolling stock. During the integration of this new rolling stock, the stations on the lines were also modernised and restored. As of 2015, the electrification of the line is being considered, which would mean the rolling stock would be moved elsewhere.
In 2018 Transmashholding Argentina was awarded a contract to refurbish and update the locomotives and their respective carriages.

# Abu Bakra al-Thaqafi

Abū Bakra al-Thaqafī (Arabic: أبو بكرة الثقفي) better known as Nufayʿ ibn al-Ḥārith (Arabic: نُـفَـيْـع ابْـن الْـحَـارِث) was the half brother of Nafi ibn al-Harith. He is known for his dispute with another Islamic general al-Mughira ibn Shu'ba during a military expedition.
Other sources describe him as the uterine brother of Ziyad ibn Abihi.
# Rideau River

The Rideau River (French: Rivière Rideau, Ojibwe: Pasapkedjinawong) is a river in Eastern Ontario, Canada. The river flows north from Upper Rideau Lake and empties into the Ottawa River at the Rideau Falls in Ottawa, Ontario. Its length is 146 kilometres (91 mi).
As explained in a writing by Samuel de Champlain in 1613, the river was given the name "Rideau" (French for 'curtain') because of the appearance of the Rideau Falls. The Anishinàbemowin name for the river is Pasapkedjinawong, 'the river that passes between the rocks'.
The Rideau Canal, which allows travel from Ottawa to the city of Kingston, Ontario on Lake Ontario, was formed by joining the Rideau River with the Cataraqui River. The river diverges from the Canal at Hog's Back Falls in Ottawa.
In early spring, to reduce flooding on the lower section of the river, workers from the city of Ottawa use ice blasting to clear the ice which covers the river from Billings Bridge to Rideau Falls by cutting "keys" through the ice and using explosives to break off large sheets of ice. This practice has been going on for more than 100 years.
The regulatory authority charged with protecting the Rideau River and its tributaries is the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority.

## History

Samuel de Champlain, who was the first European to have seen the river, named it rideau (French for 'curtain') due to the resemblance between Rideau Falls and a curtain.
In earlier times, the river was used as a transportation route between the Ottawa and Saint Lawrence River. The fertility of the lands along the banks of Rideau river attracted loyalist settlers looking for good farmlands, which led to growth of settlements in the surrounding regions. After the War of 1812, a waterway, designed by John By, was built through Rideau River connecting Kingston to Ottawa.

# Edward Alphonso Goldman

Edward Alphonso Goldman (July 7, 1873 – September 2, 1946) was an American field naturalist and mammalogist. He worked extensively in Mexico with Edward William Nelson and described and revised many groups of mammals. He was considered a leading expert on the mammals of North America.

## History

He was born Edward Alphonso Goltman in Mount Carroll, Illinois, on July 7, 1873, to French-German American parents Jacob H. and Laura C. Goltman. They were originally from Pennsylvania before moving to Illinois, then to Nebraska, where Jacob changed the surname to Goldman, and finally California. There, Jacob, who had an interest in natural history, met naturalist Edward William Nelson, who was looking for an assistant, around 1891. Young Edward became this assistant, beginning a friendship and professional relationship with Nelson that was to last until the latter's death. Goldman did well on their first joint collecting trip in California, which ended in January 1892, and then set out for Mexico with Nelson for a three-month trip. In fact, they stayed for four years, beginning an acquaintance with Mexico that would take them to almost every corner of the country and result in the collection of over 20,000 mammal specimens.
He met Emma May Chase in 1901, and married her the next year, the marriage producing three sons. Beginning in 1910, he participated in a biological survey of the Panama Canal Zone, performing a baseline survey to gauge the environmental impact of the Panama Canal. While in the United States, Goldman performed many other functions, and during World War I he was a major in the U.S. Armed Forces in France working on rodent control. After being released from administrative duties in 1928, he was able to devote all his time to scientific study and he continued even after his 1944 retirement. Goldman collected his last mammal on April 4, 1946—a Florida pocket gopher. He continued to work on Mexican mammals until he had a stroke on August 30, 1946; he died on September 2, 1946, and was buried at Arlington National Cemetery on September 6.

## Work

Goldman published 206 papers during his lifetime and described over 300 new mammals. In 1941, he had described more new mammals than any other living scientist. More than fifty animals were named after him, including various mammals, some birds, a lizard (Sceloporus goldmani), a snake, a turtle, a frog, and a mollusk. There is even a Goldman Peak in Baja California. In 1946, he became the President of the American Society of Mammalogists.
Goldman was a proponent of exterminating large predators such as wolves and coyotes and was instrumental in promoting programs to that end via the Bureau of Biological Survey. He is credited with describing the coyote as the "archpredator of our time".
# Earl McKellar

Malcolm Earl McKellar (20 April 1918 – 18 April 1976) was a politician in Manitoba, Canada. He was a member of the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba from 1958 to 1976, representing the Progressive Conservative Party.

## Biography

McKellar was educated in Manitoba's public school system, at Nesbitt School District #724, and worked as a farmer and insurance agent. He was a member of the Lions Club and the Masonic Order.
He was first elected to the Manitoba legislature in the 1958 election, winning a relatively easy victory in the southwestern rural riding of Souris-Lansdowne. He was re-elected in the elections of 1959, 1962, 1966, 1969 and 1973, on the last two occasions for the redistributed riding of Souris-Killarney. The only time when his election was in doubt was 1966, when the Liberals ran a strong challenger. He was not appointed to cabinet by either Dufferin Roblin or Walter Weir.
McKellar was elected as a director of Portage Mutual Insurance in 1973. He died in office in 1976.

# Jean-Pierre Faye

Jean-Pierre Faye (born 19 July 1925) is a French philosopher and writer of fiction and prose poetry.

## Life and career

Faye was born in Paris. He was member of the editing committee of the avant-garde literary review Tel Quel, and later of Change. He received the Prix Renaudot for his 1964 novel L'Écluse (Éditions Seuil). He is a regular contributor to Gilles Deleuze's literary journal Chimère. With Jacques Derrida and others, he authored the "Blue Report" (French: Le rapport bleu), which led to the Collège international de philosophie, an open university, in 1983. He soon turned against deconstructionism and postmodernism, as he reflected in Langages totalitaires 2: la raison narrative (1995). His essays, including Théorie du récit and Langages Totalitaires, remain influential studies of the use and abuse of language by totalitarian states and ideologies. Faye is credited with creating the horseshoe theory.

# Great dolmen

The great dolmen or grand dolmen (German: Großdolmen, Danish: Stordysse) is a type of megalithic site of the Funnelbeaker culture (TBK) that occurs in Nordic megalith architecture, primarily in the east of what is now German Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, and which has two different types of entrance. Neolithic monuments are features of the culture and ideology of Neolithic communities. Their evolution and function act as indicators of social development. The type of site, called Stordysse in Danish, does not follow the criteria listed below. In Germany, dolmens with three or more capstones are described as great dolmens and are divided into:
* Great dolmens with an antechamber (Vorraum)
* Great dolmens with a porch (Windfang)
The porch dolmen is mainly found on the island of Rügen and on the mainland opposite the island. The antechamber dolmen is found southeast of that, between Demmin and the island of Usedom. Several variant, but very rare examples recall the extended or polygonal dolmen types. In Mecklenburg there are 146 great dolmens, of which Ewald Schuldt has investigated 44. There are also two great dolmens in Schleswig-Holstein (Wees, Flensburg county and in Nebel auf Amrum), several in western Lower Saxony, but quite a few in Saxony-Anhalt (e.g. Lüdelsen 3).
Since the width of northern megalith sites is limited due to the source material used, the main design aim of their longitudinal extension was an effort to increase the size of the chambers. Great dolmens reach an average interior size of 14 cubic metres, a scale only otherwise matched by that of the gallery and passage grave. Great dolmens have up to five capstones lying on eight to twelve supporting stones. Several great dolmens were extended using wide piers (Zwischenmauerwerk), on which, in certain cases, even capstones may have been placed.
Like passage graves, great dolmens are a type of layout, in which the centre capstones were sometimes placed in a bay configuration (Jochbauweise, see picture). Whilst, initially, the roof was only built in such a way that its structural stability was based on a three-point support, in the later bay designs, a capstone could be supported on just two uprights (forming a single bay), the three stones being built as one unit, like a trilithon.
The 44 great dolmens that have been investigated were found in various configurations. Five were surrounded by rectangular and 8 by trapezoidal frames of standing stones; 4 were buried under circular mounds, but the majority, 26, were under mounds covered by boulders. In one case, the type of mound was not known because it had been removed. The trapezoidally-framed dolmens (e.g. Dwasieden, Lancken-Granitz I [de], Kruckow [de], Nadelitz, Pöglitz [de], Poggedorf Forest [de]) have guardian stones, sometimes at both ends. The great dolmen of Gaarzerhof, which initially lay within a very short rectangular frame, was eventually covered with a circular mound.

# Alcetas II of Epirus

Alcetas II (Greek: Ἀλκέτας; 313–306 ВС), king of Epirus, was the son of Arybbas, and grandson of Alcetas I. On account of his ungovernable temper, he was banished by his father, who appointed his younger son, Aeacides, to succeed him. On the death of Aeacides, who was killed in a battle fighting against Cassander in 313 BC, the Epirotes recalled Alcetas. Cassander sent an army against him under the command of Lyciscus, but in 312 BC entered into an alliance with him. The Epirotes, incensed at the outrages of Alcetas, rose against him and put him to death, together with his two sons. As a result, in 306 BC Pyrrhus, the son of Aeacides, was placed upon the throne by his protector King Glaukias of the Illyrians.
