# Jashpur State

Jashpur State was one of the princely states of India during the British Raj. The town of Jashpur was the former state's capital. The rulers were Rajputs of the Chauhan clan.
After the Independence of India, Jashpur State was merged with the princely states of Raigarh, Sakti, Sarangarh and Udaipur to form the Raigarh district of Madhya Pradesh. Now the district of Raigarh is part of Chhattisgarh state.

## History

The area of Jashpur State was ruled by a Dom dynasty at the time of the Mughal Empire. Sujan Rai, a son of the Suryavanshi Raja of Banswada in Rajputana, arrived to the place and saw that the population was not satisfied with their ruler, Raibhan Dom. Sujan led a rebellion, defeated and killed the Dom Raja in battle, and proclaimed himself king.
The Chauhan Rajput rajas of Jashpur accepted the sovereignty of the Bhonsle dynasty of Nagpur State, paying a tribute of 21 buffalos. Before 1818 the Bhonsle placed Jashpur State under the administration of Surguja State. The state became a British protectorate in 1818.
Jashpur was one of the states of the Eastern States Agency. The last ruler of this princely state signed the accession to the Indian Union on 1 January 1948.

### Rulers

The rulers of Jashpur State bore the title of 'Raja'.

# Kahena (motorcycle)

The Kahena was a motorcycle made by the Brazilian manufacturer Paulista Machine Technique S.A., manufactured in São Paulo from 1991 to 1999.

## Model-specific features

After the sale of the old Amazonas brand, former owners Luiz Gomi and José Biston together developed a new motorcycle called Kahena in 1988. In 1990 they sold the production rights to an industry in São Paulo, which manufactured the first six prototypes and presented them in 1991 at the São Paulo International Motor Show. The first models were delivered to the buyers only in 1992. From 1993 on, the Kahena was available in sport bike and sport touring configuration.
Similar to its predecessor, it also had a 1600cc engine VW do Brasil, the same used in the VW Beetle. Available in two engine configurations 65 hp at 4,600 rpm and 90 hp at 5,800 rpm. In both versions the carburetion was double Brasol 32mm, four-speed gearbox, plus the reverse gear, using Volkswagen gears.
The secondary transmission was a cardan shaft on mono cantilever scales, the brakes were double disc in the front and single disc in the rear. The front suspension had common telescopic forks, but the rear was carried by a single spring and shock absorber assembly, a large monocoque was installed in a diagonal position, attached to the inner part of the frame at the front and to the rear scale.

# Nomorhamphus towoetii

Nomorhamphus towoetii is a species of fish in the family Hemiramphidae.

## Information

Nomorhamphus towoetii is endemic to Indonesia. This species can be found in a freshwater system. Facts and information about the population trends about this species are limited and not details are lacking about population. This species is recorded to be found in the Lake Towuti system in central Sulawesi, Indonesia. It is considered to be an endangered species due to the fact that it has a limited and restricted extent of occurrence within five locations. There are major threats within a few of these locations as well.

## Threats

The threats to the population of Nomorhamphus towoetii include the following:
* expansion of human population
* pollution by nearby nickel mines
* disturbance from a hydro-electric power station
* exotic fish invasions in the lakes
* logging in the forests
* increase sediment in the lake
# Diberal

Diberal, also known as 5-(1,3-Dimethylbutyl)-5-ethylbarbituric acid or DMBB, is an atypical barbiturate. This compound can be either convulsant or anticonvulsant depending on which enantiomer is used.

## Pharmacology

Diberal, unlike most barbiturates, can have convulsant actions. This is uncommon, as barbiturates typically enhance the function of GABA as allorestic modulators and agonists (at higher doses), therefore having anticonvulsant properties. Depending on which isomer is used, it can have either convulsant or anticonvulsant actions.
The different pharmacological profile between isomers is thought to be due to the differences in the formation of hydrogen bonds at the binding sites.

### (+)-Isomer

(+)-DMBB is the atypical enantiomer of diberal. It is atypical in the means that it has convulsant action, unlike most barbiturate drugs.

### (−)-Isomer

Unlike (+)-DMBB, the (−)-isomer is similar to most barbiturates by having anticonvulsant action. It has been found that administration of (−)-DMBB reverses the convulsant actions of (+)-DMBB. (−)-DMBB is slightly more potent than pentobarbital in its depressant properties.

Individ is the sixth studio album by indie folk band The Dodos. It was released on Polyvinyl Records on January 27, 2015.
The album makes heavy use of the slide guitar of Meric Long, which was an element used in the band's embryonic days, but more sparingly on 2013's Carrier. It is marked from previous efforts likewise for its lack of involvement of high-profile producer Phil Ek, who worked on The Dodos' 2009 album Time to Die. Although released in early 2015, the band told Cheryl Waters of KEXP-FM during a studio performance and interview that they began recording Individ only a month after completing Carrier and before the latter had even been released. None of the songs on Individ were leftovers from the Carrier sessions and were all newly written in the studio.

# Welcome 2 Club XIII

Welcome 2 Club XIII is the fourteenth studio album by American rock band Drive-By Truckers, released on June 3, 2022. The album's title references one of the venues where the band first played near Muscle Shoals, Alabama. The autobiographical nature of the album's lyrics presents a contrast to the more politically charged songs from the band's previous albums. It features vocal contributions from Schaefer Llana, Mike Mills of R.E.M., and Margo Price.

## Reception

The album received a score of 78 from Metacritic, indicating generally positive reviews. American Songwriter gave the album 3.5 out of 5 stars and wrote that "while Welcome 2 Club XIII has been described by the band itself as autobiographical in nature, it still manages to retain the populist appeal that drove those earlier efforts." John Amen of Beats Per Minute wrote that Welcome 2 Club XIII shows the Drive-By Truckers "temporarily setting aside their polemical blowtorches, instead mindfully venturing into vivid inventories of their own lives, choices, and karmic trajectories." He added, "Club XIII perhaps marks the end of an era, for DBT and the broader culture, suggesting that our outward-moving attention, while politically and socially significant, has to yield at some point to self-assessment." Other reviews from AllMusic, Glide Magazine, and PopMatters praised the album's raw sound and autobiographical lyrics while noting it lacks the direct political commentary of their previous three records.

# 419 (novel)

419 is a novel by Canadian writer Will Ferguson. Published by Penguin Canada in 2012, the novel was the winner of the 2012 Scotiabank Giller Prize.
Titled for the section of the Nigerian Criminal Code that deals with fraud, the events of the novel are set in motion by Henry Curtis, a retired school teacher in Calgary, Alberta, who dies in a car accident after becoming embroiled in an advance-fee fraud scam that has left his family destitute. Following his death, his daughter Laura travels to Lagos, Nigeria, in an attempt to track down and bring to justice the perpetrator of the scam.
Prior to the novel's publication, Ferguson was known primarily as a writer of humor literature. At the Giller Prize gala, he told the media that the novel "began with the thought that maybe there really is a Nigerian prince somewhere who can't gain his freedom for lack of funds...but when I started writing it, the story began to turn dark, all by itself."

## Reception

The novel received generally positive reviews. The Globe and Mail called it "Riveting. Provocative." The Toronto Star called it "a persuasive work of fiction based on a very original premise."
