# Valcourt (town)

Valcourt (French pronunciation: ) is a town in Quebec in Le Val-Saint-François Regional County Municipality in the Estrie region of Quebec.
The town is accessible via Quebec Route 222.

## Toponymy

The town of Valcourt is enclaved by Valcourt (township). The name of Valcourt makes reference to the origin of this township.
The origins of Valcourt go back to 1802, the year where the first inhabitants came to establish themselves in the township of Ely, named after the city in Great Britain. The first inhabitants were Loyalists, but by 1840 Canadiens began to arrive in the area. The first parish was created in 1856, and a civil entity in 1865 under the name of Township of Ely. The official name of Valcourt was not given until 1965, and took the name of the post office and the railroad station belonging to the Canadian Pacific Railway.
Many hypotheses exist as to the naming of Valcourt. The first is situated in the fact that a small valley in French would be a val court. The second is the deformation of a certain family name between 1849 and 1850 of Dalcourt. The last hypothesis is the existence of a village in the United States by the name of Valcour, situated just south of the border with Canada and the state of New York.

## Demographics

In the 2021 Census of Population conducted by Statistics Canada, Valcourt had a population of 2,139 living in 1,052 of its 1,123 total private dwellings, a change of -1.2% from its 2016 population of 2,165. With a land area of 5.41 km$^2$ (2.09 sq mi), it had a population density of 395.4/km$^2$ (1,024.0/sq mi) in 2021.

# Patricia Lindop

Patricia Joyce Lindop FRCP (21 June 1930 – 1 February 2018) was a British professor of radiation biology at the University of London and the organiser of at least 100 "Pugwash" meetings at which scientists met to discuss their campaign for nuclear disarmament.

## Early life and family

Patricia Lindop was born on 21 June 1930, the second child of Elliot D. Lindop and Dorothy Jones. Her father was an engineer who had worked for Shell in India and later owned his own fuel distribution business. She was educated at Malvern Girls' College in Worcestershire and it was there that she met her future husband, Gerald Paton Rivett Esdale (died 1992), who was a pupil at the neighbouring boys' college. They married in 1957 and had one son and one daughter.

## Career

Lindop was one of the first women to win a place to study medicine at St Bartholomew's Hospital Medical College which had resisted accepting female students until forced to change its policy by the University of London. She received a first class degree. By 1954 she was working as a general practitioner and beginning to develop an interest in the effects of radiation on the human body. She started to work with the Polish physicist, and later Nobel Prize winner (1995), Joseph Rotblat at the University of London and they conducted experiments using thousands of mice to determine the effect of radiation on living organisms. Together they published 40 papers on the subject.
Later, Lindop became professor of radiation biology at St Bartholomew's but not before facing opposition to the appointment of a woman to the post.
Lindop organised at least 100 "Pugwash" conferences with Rotblat, who had worked on the Manhattan Project to develop nuclear weapons during the Second World War but became vehemently opposed to them after seeing their effects on Japan. The Pugwash movement was a group of scientists who campaigned for nuclear disarmament and Lindop often held meetings of Pugwashites, as they are known, at her home in Hampstead, London.
She was elected a fellow of the Royal College of Physicians in 1977 (member, 1956). She was chairman of Thames Liquid Fuels (Holdings) Limited from 1992.

## Later life

Lindop suffered a stroke at the age of 50 that restricted her movement and ability to speak, effectively ending her academic career. A more severe stroke in 1993 left her confined to a wheelchair and unable to move her mouth. She died on 1 February 2018.

# Amoghasiddhi

Amoghasiddhi (Devanagari: अमोघसिद्धि) is one of the Five Wisdom Buddhas of the Mahayana and Vajrayana tradition of Buddhism. He is associated with the accomplishment of the Buddhist path and of the destruction of the poison of envy. His name means Unfailing Accomplishment. His consort is Tara, meaning Liberator and his mounts are garudas. He belongs to the family of karma whose family symbol is the double vajra.

## Characteristics

Amoghasiddhi is associated with the conceptual (Skt: samskara) skandha or the conceptual mind (as opposed to the non-conceptual or sensational mind). His action towards the promotion of Buddhist paths is the pacification of evils. This is symbolised by Amoghasiddhi's symbol, the moon. He gestures in the mudra of fearlessness, symbolising his and his devotees' fearlessness towards the poisons or delusions.
He is usually coloured green in artwork and is associated with the air or wind element. His season is autumn and his heavenly quarter is the northern buddha-kṣetra called Prakuta.
In the Śūraṅgama mantra (Chinese: 楞嚴咒; pinyin: Léngyán Zhòu) taught in the Śūraṅgama sutra (Chinese: 楞嚴經; pinyin: Léngyán Jīng), an especially influential dharani in the Chinese Chan tradition, Amoghasiddhi is mentioned to be the host of the Karma Division in the North, one of the five major divisions which controls the vast demon armies of the five directions.

# Battle of Rangamati-Mahalchari waterway

The Battle of Rangamati-Mahalchari Waterway was a strategic battle during the Bangladesh Liberation War in April 1971, in which the Pakistani Army successfully captured the Rangamati-Mahalchari waterway, overcoming the Mukti Bahini forces.

## Background

The Mukti Bahini forces, specifically the 8th East Bengal Regiment, established defensive positions at Burighat along both sides of the Chengi Lakes to restrict Pakistani forces from using the strategic Rangamati-Mahalchari waterway. Munshi Abdur Rouf, a soldier in the regiment, was assigned to this defensive position with the Mukti Bahini fighters, intending to monitor and ambush Pakistani movements along the waterway.

## The Battle

On April 8, 1971, the Pakistani Army launched an assault on the Mukti Bahini positions with seven speedboats and two launches. The Pakistani forces aimed to drive the Mukti Bahini away from the waterway. Pakistani troops managed to encircle nearly 100 Mukti Bahini fighters, disorienting them with concentrated fire.
Seeing the dire situation, Munshi Abdur Rouf crawled to his trench and used his automatic machine gun to cover the retreat of his fellow soldiers. His covering fire forced the Pakistani boats to temporarily pull back. However, a direct mortar strike eventually killed Rouf, halting his resistance.

## Aftermath

Rouf was later honored with the title of Bir Sreshtho, the highest military award for bravery in Bangladesh.
# Audoin

Alduin (Langobardic: Aldwin or Hildwin, Latin: Audoinus; also called Auduin or Audoin) was king of the Lombards from 547 to 560.

## Life

Audoin was of the Gausi, a prominent Lombard ruling clan, and according to the Historia Langobardorum, the son of Menia, the Lombard wife of Basinus, king of the Thuringii. Audoin was half-brother to Hermanafrid (king of the Thuringii peoples) and Raicunda, the wife of the Lombard king Wacho.
According to the Decem Libri of Gregory of Tours, in 531, Hermanafrid was defeated at the Battle of Unstrut, and so Thuringia was annexed to the Frankish empire. Hermanafrid traveled under safe conduct to meet with Theuderic at Zülpich. While walking along the city walls with Theuderic, Hermanafrid was thrown from the ramparts to his death.
According to Procopius (History of the Wars V, 13), after Hermanafrid's death, his widow Amalaberga fled with her children, Amalafrid and Rodelinda, to her brother Theodahad who was at that time (534–536) King of the Ostrogoths. Around 539, during the Gothic War, they were captured by the Byzantine general Belisarius and sent to Constantinople. Justinian made Amalafrid a general and married off his sister Rodelinda to Audoin.
Around 540, Audoin was elected regent for Walthari, the minor son of King Wacho and his third wife Silinga. He led the Lombards to Pannonia, where they were settled by Justinian I and in 541 signed a treaty becoming fœderati of the Byzantines, entrusted with the task of securing the Danube border against the Franks. Audoin probably killed Waltari before he reached manhood, in order to gain the throne for himself around 546, and led the Lombards into Pannonia. After Walthari's death around 547, Audoin became king of the Lombards.
Beginning in 551, Audoin was obliged to send troops to serve Narses in Italy in the Gothic War against the Ostrogoths. The next year, he sent over 5,000 men to defeat the Goths on the slopes of Vesuvius. That same year Audoin had been able to inflict a heavy defeat on the Gepids with the help of his brother-in-law Amalafrid. The Gepid king Thurisind lost his eldest son, Turismod, in the Battle of Asfeld. Turismod was killed by Alboin, son of Audoin.
He died in 563 or 565 and was succeeded by his son, Alboin, who brought the Lombards into the Italian peninsula.

# Glory Mountain

Glory Mountain is a 7,228-foot (2,203-metre) mountain summit located in the North Cascades Range in Chelan County of Washington state. Glory Mountain is situated southeast of Trapper Lake on the shared border of North Cascades National Park and Glacier Peak Wilderness. The nearest higher peak is Trapper Mountain, 1.72 miles (2.77 km) to the west. Precipitation runoff from the mountain drains into Cottonwood Creek and Flat Creek, both tributaries of the Stehekin River. An unofficially named secondary peak called Halleluja Peak 7,120+ ft (2,170+ m) lies 0.32 miles (0.51 km) to the west of the summit.

## Climate

Glory Mountain is located in the marine west coast climate zone of western North America. Weather fronts originating in the Pacific Ocean travel northeast toward the Cascade Mountains. As fronts approach the North Cascades, they are forced upward by the peaks of the Cascade Range, causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snow onto the Cascades (Orographic lift). As a result, the west side of the North Cascades experiences high precipitation, especially during the winter months in the form of snowfall. During winter months, weather is usually cloudy, but due to high pressure systems over the Pacific Ocean that intensify during summer months, there is often little or no cloud cover during the summer.

## Geology

The North Cascades features some of the most rugged topography in the Cascade Range with craggy peaks and ridges, deep glacial valleys, and granite spires. Geological events occurring many years ago created the diverse topography and drastic elevation changes over the Cascade Range leading to the various climate differences. These climate differences lead to vegetation variety defining the ecoregions in this area.
The history of the formation of the Cascade Mountains dates back millions of years ago to the late Eocene Epoch. With the North American Plate overriding the Pacific Plate, episodes of volcanic igneous activity persisted. In addition, small fragments of the oceanic and continental lithosphere called terranes created the North Cascades about 50 million years ago.
During the Pleistocene period dating back over two million years ago, glaciation advancing and retreating repeatedly scoured the landscape leaving deposits of rock debris. The U-shaped cross section of the river valleys is a result of recent glaciation. Uplift and faulting in combination with glaciation have been the dominant processes which have created the tall peaks and deep valleys of the North Cascades area.

# National Center of Folkloric Activities

The National Center of Folkloric Activities (Albanian: Qendra Kombëtare e Veprimtarive Folklorike, QKVF) is an Albanian state institution that deals with activities in the field of folklore.

## History

QKVF was established by Order No.124, Dt.06.06.1994 of the Minister of Culture, Youth and Sports, in the framework of restructuring the former Central House of Popular Creativity. The institution has its own statute, approved by the Minister of Culture that includes the statutory regulations and the identifying logo used to carry out institutional activities in the field of folkloric heritage.
Since 1994, QKVF has organized national and typological festivals, based on scientific criteria that entertain the general public while propagating, preserving, and transmitting the original character of folklore, as part of the cultural heritage of the Albanian nation. The institution maintains links with cultural associations in Albania, Kosovo, North Macedonia, Montenegro, and throughout the Albanian diaspora. One of the recent innovations of QKVF was the publication of the magazine "Traces of the Albanian Soul", which reflects the national activities of folklore, as well as issues related to the organizing of folklore festivals. It also publicizes the biographies of popular artists in the service of the National Register of Folk Artists and other study materials in folklore.
