# Tekka Centre

Tekka Centre is a multi-use building complex comprising a wet market, food centre and shops, located in the northern corner of Bukit Timah Road and Serangoon Road, in Little India, Singapore, next to Little India MRT station.

## Etymology and history

The case of Tekka Centre is often used to illustrate the complexities of Chinese language romanisation in Singapore. The market was originally known as "Kandang Kerbau" (or just "K. K."), Malay for "buffalo pens", referring to the slaughterhouses operating in the area until the 1920s, and the name still lives on in the nearby Kandang Kerbau Women's and Children's Hospital, Kandang Kerbau Police Station and the Kandang Kerbau Post Office. In Hokkien, the market was known as Tek Kia Kha (竹囝跤), literally meaning "foot of the small bamboos", as bamboo plants once grew on the banks of the Rochor Canal. This was adapted into the popular name Tekka Pasar (笛卡巴刹), where pasar is Malay for "market".
The original market was built in 1915, and was located across the street between Hastings Road and Sungei Road. site, the new multi-use complex, was named Zhujiao Centre (Chinese: 竹脚中心), the pinyin version of Tek Kha. However, to locals, especially non-Chinese, the new word Zhujiao was both hard to read and pronounce and bore no resemblance to Tekka. Eventually, the complex was officially renamed Tekka Centre in 2000 as it reflected the history of the place. The market was closed for a significant renovation in 2008, reopening in 2009.
Little India's first air-conditioned mall, Tekka Mall, was built on the original site of the market in 2003.

## Facilities

Tekka Centre remained a landmark in Little India, where different ethnic communities congregate. There are Chinese stallholders who speak Tamil, and vice versa. Shops sell traditional Indian costumes and inexpensive casual clothes. Some of the more notable shops include those selling Taoist and Buddhist paraphernalia, hardware shops, and tailors who can alter clothes in minutes.
On the ground floor is a hawker centre with stalls which sell Indian vegetarian meals, served on banana leaves or on stainless steel platters, besides Chinese vegetarian, North Indian and Malay food.
At the wet market which was on the same level, stalls sell fresh seafood, especially crabs from Sri Lanka, and vegetables. There are also many Chinese stalls selling vegetables that are specially flown in from India.
The centre is served by the adjacent Little India MRT station. There are also an underground car park and two taxicab stands. Amenities nearby includes the demolished shopping mall The Verge and Little India Arcade.
# Sudanese sign languages

Sudan and South Sudan have multiple regional sign languages, which are not mutually intelligible. A survey of just three states found 150 sign languages, though this number included instances of home sign. Government figures estimate there are at least about 48,900 deaf people in Sudan. By 2009, the Sudanese National Union of the Deaf had worked out a Unified Sudanese Sign Language, but it had not yet been widely disseminated.
# Videgha Mathava

Videgha Mathava (Sanskrit: विदेघ माथव, videgha māthava; Maithili: विदेह माधव, videha mādhav) was the founder and first king of the Videha kingdom in the ancient Indian subcontinent. Videha is the ancient name of Mithila. Videgha Mathava previously lived on the banks of the holy Sarasvati river with his philosophical teacher Gotama Râhûgana. According to Shatapatha Brahmana, Mathava came to Mithila with his teacher and established the kingdom of Videha.

## Etymology

Videgha Mathava is made of two Sanskrit words Videgha and Mathava. According to the commentary of Sayana, Mathava was the name of a son from the King Mathu from Videgha. Similarly Gautama was a son from the Rishi Rahugana. It is believed that the name of the kingdom came to be known as Videha after the tribal name Videgha of Mathava.

## Story of Videgha Mathava

The story of Videgha Mathava is narrated in Yajurveda. According to Shatapatha Brahmana, Videgha Mathava migrated from the Sarasvati river valley possibly area between (Multan and Sindh) to the middle Ganga valley. He travelled towards east with Agni ( fire ) but stopped at the river Sadanira (Gandak). Then Videgha Mathava asked to Lord Agni that where he abided now. Lord Agni then said that your abode was at the east of the river Sadanira. It is said that Lord Agni ordered Videgha Mathava to establish the new kingdom of "Videha" Lord Agni burned away the vegetation on the other side of the river Sadanira, so that the tribe could settle there. In later times, the Sadanira formed the boundary between the kingdoms of Videha and Koshala . He had taken his tribe to the plains of the Ganges which had dense vegetation in the east. This is the Theory of Aryanisation of Videha Kingdom in the eastern India.

# Youngblood (soundtrack)

Youngblood (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is an album by the American band War, released in 1978. It is the soundtrack to the film of the same name.
The album peaked at No. 69 on the Billboard 200. The title track peaked at No. 21 on Billboard's Best Selling Soul Singles chart.

## Production

The album was produced primarily by Jerry Goldstein. It was War's final album with B.B. Dickerson as a full member of the band; discounting Eric Burdon, it was also the band's final album with its original lineup. War and the film's studio used a multi-track synchronizing system, as did many soundtracks of the period. "Youngblood (Livin' in the Streets)" begins with a conga introduction.

## Critical reception

| Martin C. Strong | 4/10 |
Robert Christgau wrote that "the level of the writing is suggested by the title of the best track, 'This Funky Music Makes You Feel Good'."
AllMusic said that "War got decent mileage from the soundtrack for this B-movie... They ended with two R&B hits." The New Rolling Stone Record Guide determined that the soundtrack was among the United Artists albums "of uniformly high quality, stinging and angry at their peaks."
# Windward Islands

The Windward Islands are the southern, generally larger islands of the Lesser Antilles of the Caribbean islands or West Indies. Located approximately between latitudes 10° and 16° N and longitudes 60° and 62° W, they extend from Dominica in the north to Trinidad and Tobago in the south, and lie south of the Leeward Islands and east of Leeward Antilles.
The name was also used to refer to a British colony which existed between 1833 and 1960 and originally consisted of the islands of Grenada, Saint Lucia, and Saint Vincent. Today, these islands constitute three sovereign states, the latter of which is now known as Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.
The island of Dominica was traditionally considered a part of the Leeward Islands until 1940, when it was transferred from the British Leeward Islands colony to the British Windward Islands. It now composes the fourth sovereign state in the group.
Barbados (until 1885) and Tobago (until 1889) were also part of the British Windward Islands colony but are not today regarded as being part of the Windward Islands grouping. The other known as Martinique is the only windward island that is still become overseas département of France as of today since 1946 which is 7,000 kilometers away from Paris.

## Name and geography

The prevailing trade winds in the West Indies blow east to west. The combination of trans-Atlantic currents and winds that provided the fastest route across the ocean brought sailing ships heading to the New World to the rough dividing line between two groups of islands. Those that fell to windward became the Windward Islands, to leeward the Leeward Islands.
Sailing vessels departing from Africa would first encounter the southeasternmost "Windward" islands of the Lesser Antilles in their west-northwesterly heading to the final destinations in the Caribbean, Central America, and Northern America. The chain of Windward Islands forms a part of the easternmost boundary of the Caribbean Sea.
However, even in modern usage in languages other than English, notably Dutch, French, and Spanish, all of the Lesser Antilles from the Virgin Islands to Trinidad and Tobago are known as the 'Windward Islands' (Bovenwindse Eilanden in Dutch, Îles du Vent in French, and Islas de Barlovento in Spanish). The ABC Islands and the other islands along the Venezuelan coast, known in English as the Leeward Antilles, are known in languages other than English as the 'Leeward Islands'.

## Countries and territories

There are four countries and one territory in the Windward Islands:
* Dominica
* Grenada
** Carriacou and Petite Martinique
* Martinique (France)
* Saint Lucia
* Saint Vincent and the Grenadines
** Grenadines
** Saint Vincent
# Dovid Lifshitz

Dovid Lifshitz (1906–1993) was a distinguished Ashkenazi Rosh yeshiva in the Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary (RIETS) for almost fifty years. He was appointed upon the invitation of Rabbi Samuel Belkin in 1944. He was also known as the "Suvalker Rav", due to his previous position as the Rabbi of the European town of Suvalk, which he maintained until its capture by the Nazis in 1940. Some of his lectures on the Talmud were later compiled and published as "Shiurei Rav Dovid Lifshitz".

## Early years

Dovid Lifshitz was born in Minsk, then Imperial Russia in 1906 to Yaakov Aryeh and Ittel Lifshitz. His paternal grandfather, Shlomo Zalman Lifshitz, was a businessman in Grodno as well as a distinguished Talmudic scholar, who authored the Olas Shlomo. He attended cheder together with Avraham Even-Shoshan, where they learned Hebrew and Hebrew grammar from Avraham's father, who was the teacher. In 1919, his family moved to Grodno, where he was a foremost student of the famed Rabbi Shimon Shkop in the Grodno Yeshiva (Shaar Hatorah). He later studied in the Mir yeshiva, staying until 1932, receiving semicha and becoming well known as an outstanding scholar. In 1933, he married Tzipporah Chava Yoselowitz, the daughter of the renowned rabbi of Suvalk, Yosef Yoselowitz. Upon the death of his father-in-law in 1935, Lifshitz became chief rabbi of the important city and its 27 congregations, where he developed a reputation as a warm and involved spiritual leader, concerned with all Jews. He remained in Suvalk until the Nazis captured the city in 1940.

## Relocation to America

In 1941, Lifshitz reached America along with his wife and daughter, and was appointed a rosh yeshiva of Beis Midrash LeTorah in Chicago. Lifshitz was soon accorded immense stature among his fellow rabbis, his students and the rest of the Chicago community. His reputation as an outstanding rosh yeshiva spread throughout America and he received offers for several positions. He accepted the invitation of Rabbi Samuel Belkin and in 1944, was appointed rosh yeshiva of RIETS in New York City. There he taught Torah for almost 50 years to thousands of students, many of whom came to be distinctively known as "Reb Dovid's students". His efforts on behalf of the community were numerous. He served as a member of the presidium of the Agudas HaRabbonim of America and Canada for many years.
Lifshitz's discourses in Jewish concepts such as chochma and mussar were compiled and published by his students and given the title "Tehillah LeDovid". His lectures on the Talmud were also published as "Shiurei Rav Dovid Lifshitz".

## Ezras Torah

Lifshitz served as president of Ezras Torah, an international relief fund, during the final 17 years of his life.

## Family

A daughter was murdered as an infant in 1941. Lifshitz is survived by his wife, three daughters, "16 grandchildren, and numerous great-grandchildren."

# Narrows Covered Bridge

The Narrows Covered Bridge crosses Sugar Creek at the eastern edge of Turkey Run State Park and is a single span Burr Arch Truss covered bridge structure that was built by Joseph A. Britton in 1882.
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.

## History

The Narrows Covered Bridge was built to replace the previous bridge that Salmon Lusk had built in 1847, which itself had been built to replace the bridge he'd built in 1840. The first bridge was destroyed in 1847 and the second in 1875.
The Parke County Commissioners didn't decide to replace the bridge for several years and by then iron bridges were becoming popular. Finally, on August 24, 1882, the first bids opened. These included: Smith Iron Works (iron, $6,680), Wrought Iron Bridge Co. (iron, $5,706), King Iron Bridge Co. (iron, $2,904), Columbia Bridge Works (iron, $3,288), G. F. Haynes (wood, $2,704), and J. A. Britton (wood, $3,750 total). Except for Mr. Britton's bid, the others may or may not include the cost for the abutments or other costs. At any rate, all of the bids were rejected.
J. A. Britton was later awarded the contract for $3,400. This bridge has been acclaimed as the first in J. A. Britton's illustrious covered bridge career. Some purists though have criticized the pointed arch joints and it can be noted that J. A. Britton built a Billie Creek Bridge in 1880, but it was probably an open bridge.
Joseph A. Britton's first wife died while he was working on the Narrows Bridge. He later met his second wife, who was living at a farm not far from the narrows, while working on the bridge.

# Islam in New Caledonia

Islam in New Caledonia is a minority faith, consisting of 2.6% of population or 6,357 people. The community is largely ethnic Javanese, and primarily speaks French, and Arabic or Indonesian, causing a linguistic gap between them and neighbouring Anglophone Muslim communities in Australia and Fiji. There is an Islamic centre in Nouméa, and another in Bourail catering to Algerian-Caledonians.

## History

Among the first Muslims in New Caledonia were Algerian prisoners sent there in 1872, followed by Indonesian, Somali, and Arab labourers.
The Association des Musulmans de Nouvelle Caledonie (New Caledonia Muslim Association) was founded in 1975, superseding an earlier organisation.
# Nathan Allen House

The Nathan Allen House is a historic house on Vermont Route 30 in Pawlet, Vermont. Built about 1834, it is an excellent local example of a late Federal period farmhouse built in brick. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.

## Description and history

The Nathan Allen House stands on the west side of Vermont Route 30, a few miles north of Pawlet's central village, in the fertile plains on the east side of the Mettawee River. It is a 2+1⁄2-story brick structure, with single-story wood frame ells attached to the right and rear. It rests on a rubblestone foundation, and has trim elements of dressed marble and wood. The main block is five bays wide, with a center entrance flanked by sidelight windows. The left side wall is a reconstruction, the original having collapsed due to deteriorating condition in 1983. The house has four side chimneys, and follows a center-hall plan inside. The interior has seen a number of alterations and stylistic changes, but retains some of its original features, including a carved arch in the center hall, and a marble fireplace surround in one of the parlors.
The house was built about 1834 for Nathan Allen, a farmer who owned and worked the surrounding land (now in separate ownership). It is one of two nearly identical houses built in this area; the other was built for Nathan's brother Elisha. They are the only significant example of late Federal period architecture in the area.
# Nathan B. Booth House

The Nathan B. Booth House is a historic house at 6080 Main Street in the Putney section of Stratford, Connecticut. Built in 1843 for a prosperous farmer, the house is a well-preserved example of transitional Federal-Greek Revival architecture, and the area's only known gable-fronted house of the period. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.

## Description and history

The Nathan B. Booth House stands in what is now a residential area of the Putney section of Stratford, on the east side of Main Street a short way north of the Boothe Memorial Park and Museum. It is set on a rise above the street, with its front facade facing west. It is a 2+1⁄2-story timber-frame structure, with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior. A single-story porch of early 20th-century construction extends across the front facade and around part of the north and south sides. The main facade is three asymmetrically placed bays wide, with the main entrance set in the rightmost bay, flanked by sidelight windows and topped by a transom. The ground floor windows are full length in the Greek Revival style. The interior follows a fairly typical Greek Revival side hall plan, with a curved staircase rising in the main hall, and many other original period features. It illustrates a vernacular transition between Greek Revival architecture and Federal architecture styles.
The house was built about 1843 for Nathan Booth, on land belonging to his father, Abijah. Although the building outwardly appears Greek Revival, its timber-frame construction is more commonly associated with earlier Federal and Georgian construction. Booth was a successful farmer, probably providing produce for the burgeoning markets of Bridgeport. He also appears to have harvested oysters, probably from a marshy island he owned in the nearby Housatonic River. However, he probably overextended himself financially, and was forced to sell the farm in 1877.
# Nathan Combs House

The Nathan Combs House is a historic house located in Washington County, Arkansas.

## Description and history

Set on a 480-acre (190 ha) estate, it is a two-story brick house, built in the late 1860s by one of the region's largest landowners. The house is noted for its dignified Italianate styling, including decorative brackets and a two-story front porch.
The house and its immediate surroundings were listed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 12, 1976.
# Nathan Harris House

The Nathan Harris House is an historic house at 425 Main Street in Westbrook, Maine. Built about 1830, it is a well-preserved example of Federal period architecture, most notable for the murals painted on some of its walls in the 1830s. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993. The house is now used as a professional office.

## Description and history

The Harris House is located in a commercial area east of downtown Westbrook, in a large island of buildings surrounded by Cumberland Street, Main Street, and Harnois Avenue. The house is located near the eastern end of this island, next to the late 19th-century Warren Block. The house is a 1+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure, with a five-bay front section and a cross-gabled ell extending to the rear. The front is symmetrical, with the center entrance adorned by sidelight windows and pilasters, with a semi-oval fan above. The interior retains Federal period woodwork in the parlor spaces that is of unusually high quality for what was at the time a comparatively modest setting. The main hall and right-side parlor both have oil-painted murals on the walls. Comparative analysis of these murals with similar works of known attribution suggests they were the work of either Sturtevant J. Hamblen or William Matthew Prior, both of whom produced works in the Portland area in the 1830s.
The house was built c. 1828–30, and is a rare surviving example of a modest merchant's home of the period, a type of house that would have been quite common at the time. In the 20th century the building was repurposed as a law office, given the increasingly commercial surroundings. The murals were undergoing restorative work at the time the building was listed on the National Register in 1993.
# Nathan Michener House

The Nathan Michener House is an historic, American home that is located in South Coventry Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania.
The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.

## History and architectural features

Built circa 1813, this historic structure is a 2+1⁄2-story, four-bay by two-bay, fieldstone dwelling that was designed in a transitional Greek Revival style. It has a gable roof and end chimneys, and features large corner quoins. It also has a one-story, fieldstone sunporch with a pyramidal roof.
The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.
# Nathan Warren House

The Nathan Warren House was a historic house at 50 Weston Street in Waltham, Massachusetts. Built c. 1889-90 the 2+1⁄2-story house was one of the city's finest Queen Anne residences, with a turret and porte cochere, as well as a variety of decorated projecting sections. The house was built by Nathan Warren, who wrote a history of Waltham, was active in local and state politics, and who was a member of an exploratory expedition to the Yellowstone area in 1873.
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. It was demolished in 2006.
