# 2004 President of the Hong Kong Legislative Council election

The election for the President of the Third Legislative Council took place on 6 October 2004 for members of the 3rd Legislative Council of Hong Kong to among themselves elect the President of the Legislative Council of Hong Kong for the duration of the council. Rita Fan from the pro-Beijing camp defeated Albert Ho, a democrat, and was re-elected as widely expected.

## Proceedings

According to Article 71 of the Hong Kong Basic Law and Rule 4 of the Rules of Procedure of the Legislative Council, the President of the Legislative Council has to be a Chinese citizen of 40 years old or above, a permanent resident of Hong Kong with no right of abode in any foreign country, and has ordinarily resided in Hong Kong for not less than 20 years continuously.
According to the Standing Order, the member present who has the longest continuous service in the Council shall preside at the election. James Tien thus chaired the special forum on 6 October, which allowed candidates to present their manifesto and answer questions from other members, and the election.
Members first took oath of office before the election began. As the court ruled earlier any changes to the oath would breach the Basic Law, Leung Kwok-hung, the new left-wing pro-democracy MP, wore black T-shirt with slogans commemorating the Tiananman Square protests instead of formal attire, and chanted "vindicate Tiananmen Square protests", "end to one-party dictatorship", "Long live democracy, long live people" before and after the oath-taking ceremony. Leung also pronounced the oath with pauses between "Republic" and "People's of China", and "Hong Kong" and "Special Administrative Region".
Jasper Tsang, the former chairman of pro-Beijing DAB, questioned the validity of Leung's oath as he did not sign, which the Secretary-general of the Council confirmed the signature was not required.

## Candidates

* Albert Ho (Democratic, pro-democracy camp)
       Nominations – Andrew Cheng (Democratic), Audrey Eu (A45), Margaret Ng (A45), Fred Li (Democratic), Albert Cheng, Leung Kwok-hung (April 5th), Lee Cheuk-yan (CTU)
* Rita Fan (Independent, pro-Beijing camp), President of the Legislative Council (since 1997)
       Nominations – David Li, Jasper Tsang (DAB), Philip Wong, James Tien (Liberal), Raymond Ho (Breakfast), Abraham Shek (Breakfast)

## Results

Rita Fan was re-elected without surprise as the Beijing loyalists secured a majority in the parliament, even the media had predicted the vote tally quite accurately. Pro-Beijing Chim Pui-chung admitted casting the abstain vote, saying he had already told the public so and would not endorse Fan as she would for sure win.

# Dara Shikoh Road

Dara Shikoh Road is the name given to a road in Central Delhi to honour mughal prince and heir apparent of Shah Jahan, Dara Shikoh. The road was earlier named after Lord Dalhousie. This road is located just 2 km from Rashtrapathi Bhavan.

## Background

The renaming of roads is a part of India's attempt to distance itself from its colonial past. This was the third time that the NDMC has renamed a road in less than two years. In 2015, Aurangzeb Road was named as APJ Abdul Kalam Road. Race Course Road, where the Prime Minister's residence is located, was renamed as Lok Kalyan Marg in 2016.

## Dara Shikoh

Dara Shikoh, also transliterated as Dara Shukoh, (20 March 1615 – 30 August 1659) was the eldest son and heir-apparent of the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan. Dara was designated with the title Padshahzada-i-Buzurg Martaba (lit. 'Prince of High Rank') and was favoured as a successor by his father and his elder sister, Princess Jahanara Begum. He had been given the title of 'Shah-e-Buland Iqbal' by Shah Jahan. In the war of succession which ensued after Shah JahanShah Jahan's illness in 1657, Dara was defeated by his younger brother Prince Muhiuddin (later, the Emperor Aurangzeb). He was executed in 1659 on Aurangzeb's orders in a bitter struggle for the imperial throne.
The new namesake, was more than just a Mughal prince. He was a scholar deeply interested in fostering peace and understanding between Hinduism and Islam. His passion for comparative religions, universal brotherhood, humanism, and peace is well documented. The library established in his name in Delhi stands as a testament to his insatiable curiosity and dedication to knowledge. A patron of the arts as well, Dara Shikoh's legacy extends beyond religious tolerance, encompassing a deep appreciation for Indian culture.

## Renaming

Dalhousie Road, located less than 2 kilometers from the Rashtrapati Bhawan, previously bore the name of Lord Dalhousie, the Governor-General of India from 1848 to 1856. The NDMC's decision to rename the road reflects a shift towards honoring figures associated with India's rich cultural heritage.
The proposal was first moved in 2014 for renaming Aurangzeb Road after Dara Shikoh. However, after former President APJ Abdul Kalam passed away, the road was renamed in his honour.
The municipal body passed the new proposal on 6 Feb 2017, put forward by BJP MP Meenakshi Lekhi who is also a council member, to this effect at a special meeting convened by its chairman Naresh Kumar. It came effect on the same day.

## Criticism

The renaming of Dalhousie Road sparks a conversation about the importance of remembering historical figures who championed tolerance and intellectual pursuits. While some may debate the necessity of renaming historical landmarks, this shift undeniably reflects a desire to celebrate figures who embody the values of a pluralistic society. AAP MLA Surinder Singh questioned the timing of the recommendation in view of assembly polls in four states.
# Middle Branch River

The Middle Branch River is a 35.1-mile-long (56.5 km) tributary of the Muskegon River in Osceola County, Michigan, in the United States.
# Middle Branch Union River

The Middle Branch Union River is a river in Hancock County, Maine, United States. From the outflow of Lower Middle Branch Pond (44°51′57″N 68°13′35″W﻿ / ﻿44.8659°N 68.2265°W﻿ / 44.8659; -68.2265﻿ (Middle Branch Union River source)) in Aurora, the river runs 13.8 miles (22.2 km) west and south to its confluence with the East Branch of the Union River in Osborn.
# Middle Fork Stanislaus River

The Middle Fork Stanislaus River is a 45.7-mile (73.5 km) tributary of the Stanislaus River in the central Sierra Nevada and Stanislaus National Forest of eastern California.

## Geography

The river begins at the confluence of Kennedy Creek and Summit Creek in the Emigrant Wilderness. It flows initially northwest, receiving the Clark Fork from the right then turning southwest, through a deep canyon to its confluence with the North Fork Stanislaus River, forming the Stanislaus River. The river drains a watershed of 332 square miles (860 km$^2$) in Tuolumne County, much of it within the Stanislaus National Forest.

## Power and water infrastructure

There are four dams on the main stem of the Middle Fork – at Donnells, Beardsley, Beardsley Forebay and Sand Bar Flat. The only significant tributary impoundment is Relief Reservoir, formed by Relief Dam on Summit Creek. Middle Fork water is managed by the Spring Gap–Stanislaus hydroelectric project, owned by Pacific Gas and Electric, and the Tri-Dam project owned by the Oakdale and South San Joaquin irrigation districts.
Tunnels connect the four mainstem reservoirs to take advantage of the hydraulic head created by the Middle Fork's steep drop. The final tunnel, from Sand Bar Flat, enters the main Stanislaus River about 2 miles (3.2 km) below the mouth of the Middle Fork, at the head of New Melones Lake reservoir. As a result, much of the Middle Fork is dewatered during the drier months.

# Middle River (Maine)

The Middle River is a short river in Washington County, Maine. From the outlet of Marks Lake (44°45′05″N 67°30′41″W﻿ / ﻿44.7515°N 67.5114°W﻿ / 44.7515; -67.5114﻿ (Middle River source)) in Marshfield, it runs about 5.7 miles (9.2 km) southeast to the estuary of the Machias River in Machias.
# Middle Yuba River

The Middle Yuba River is one of the three main forks of the Yuba River in Northern California in the United States. The river rises at the crest of the Sierra Nevada, and flows generally west through canyons to join the North Yuba River near North San Juan. The confluence of the two rivers forms the main stem of the Yuba River, which then continues west to join the Feather River. The Middle Yuba forms much of the border between Nevada County and Sierra County and in its lower reaches a small segment of the Nevada–Yuba County line. The Middle Yuba drains a remote, rugged portion of the Tahoe National Forest, with elevations ranging from 8,373 ft (2,552 m) at English Mountain to 1,129 ft (344 m) at the confluence with the Yuba River.
The river is dammed and diverted several times to provide hydroelectricity, greatly reducing the flow in all but the wettest years. Jackson Meadows Dam and Milton Diversion Dam near the headwaters are part of the Yuba-Bear Hydroelectric Project, which transport water to the South Yuba and Bear Rivers. Jackson Meadows Reservoir, stocked with 10,000 pounds of rainbow trout annually, is also a popular recreation area.
Further downstream, Our House Dam diverts water through a series of tunnels to New Bullards Bar Reservoir on the North Yuba River. Water is also taken from Oregon Creek, the main tributary of the Middle Yuba. This enables the generation of more power at the New Colgate Powerhouse, situated 4.7 miles (7.6 km) downstream from the confluence of the North and Middle Yuba Rivers.
The Middle Yuba River was a major mining site during the California Gold Rush. It was one of the areas most heavily affected by hydraulic mining, which washed large volumes of loose sediment into the river channel. In 1941 the Englebright Dam was constructed on the Yuba River below the Middle Fork to capture this debris before it could travel further downstream.
In 2008 studies were carried out by the Nevada Irrigation District, which owns Jackson Meadows and Milton Dams, to determine optimum flows for whitewater boating. This may ultimately result in the restoration of some of the natural flows to the Middle Yuba. The minimum required release from Milton Dam is 3 cubic feet per second (0.085 m$^3$/s), a tiny fraction of the pre-development flow.
# Middlebush Brook (New Jersey)

Middlebush Brook is a tributary of Six Mile Run in Somerset County, New Jersey in the United States.
As its name suggests, Middlebush Brook begins in the town of Middlebush. Its source is at 40°29′21″N 74°30′41″W﻿ / ﻿40.48917°N 74.51139°W﻿ / 40.48917; -74.51139, just south of Hamilton Street in north-western Franklin Park.

## Tributaries

This stream has several unnamed tributaries. One closely parallels South Middlebush Road before splitting into two more tributaries. One of them ends in a development near Amwell Road (the same road as Hamilton Street), while the other is a drain for a residential development.

## Course

Middlebush Brook starts at 40°29′21″N 74°30′41″W﻿ / ﻿40.48917°N 74.51139°W﻿ / 40.48917; -74.51139 in a commercial development. It exits the commerce area and flows through a marsh, then crossing Bennetts Lane. It runs behind a cow farm then crosses South Middlebush Road right above Blackwells Mills Road. It crosses Blackwells Mills Road a little later on, then drains into Six Mile Run at 40°28′21″N 74°33′02″W﻿ / ﻿40.47250°N 74.55056°W﻿ / 40.47250; -74.55056.
It has several branches, including one that runs for a distance along South Middlebush Road and one that flows to a residential development near CR-514 (Amwell Road).

## Accessibility

This stream flows through wooded areas downstream, where it is not accessible easily. It is accessible upstream though, where it flows through a residential development.
It may be accessed, though with difficulty, at the Blackwells Mills Road crossing.

## Terrain

This stream has a streambed composed of small boulders, making it difficult to walk on. Some locations have pebbles. It is not muddy and therefore is not suitable for frogs.

# Mill Creek (western West Virginia)

Mill Creek is a tributary of the Ohio River, 29.4 miles (47.3 km) long, in western West Virginia in the United States. Via the Ohio, it is part of the watershed of the Mississippi River, draining an area of 234 square miles (610 km$^2$) on the unglaciated portion of the Allegheny Plateau. According to the Geographic Names Information System, it has also been known historically as Big Mill Creek.
Mill Creek is formed approximately 4 miles (6.4 km) east of the city of Ripley in central Jackson County by the confluence of streams known as the Elk Fork and Little Mill Creek. The Elk Fork, 15.4 miles (24.8 km) long, rises in western Roane County and flows generally northwestward. Little Mill Creek, 11.1 miles (17.9 km) long, rises in northwestern Roane County and flows generally westward. Shortly downstream of their confluence, Mill Creek collects an 11.9-mile (19.2 km) long tributary known as the Tug Fork, which is formed in southern Jackson County by the confluence of the Bear Fork and Grasslick Creek, and flows northwestward, past the community of Statts Mills, joining Mill Creek from the south.
Mill Creek flows generally west-northwestward in a winding course through central and western Jackson County, through the city of Ripley, which may have been named for Harry Ripley, a traveling preacher said to have drowned in the creek in 1830. Downstream of Ripley, the stream passes through a broad valley in the vicinity of the community of Cottageville and flows into the Ohio River at the community of Millwood. Approximately the lowermost 6 miles (9.7 km) of the stream consists of backwater caused by damming of the Ohio. A commercial port facility is located on the creek near its mouth, handling limestone, sand, gravel, aluminum, and salt.
According to the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection, approximately 74% of the Mill Creek watershed is forested, mainly deciduous. Approximately 25% is used for agriculture and pasture, and less than 1% is urban.
