## Biography

Lipilin was born on 28 August 1965 in Nizhneudinsk, Irkutsk Oblast, in what was then the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic, in the Soviet Union. He entered the Soviet Navy, studying at the Pacific Higher Naval School in Vladivostok, graduating from its mine and torpedo faculty in 1987. He was assigned to the Pacific Fleet, where he served on several Krivak-class frigates assigned to the fleet's missile ship brigade in Kamchatka, alternately the Retivyy, Rezkiy, Razumnyy and Letuchnyy [ru]. During Lipilin's service on these ships, he rose from the position of commander of the mine and torpedo warhead control group to the ship's commander's senior assistant. By 1995 he was serving as assistant to the commander of the Slava-class missile cruiser Varyag, moving with her when she was transferred from Kamchatka to and assigned to the 36th Surface Ship Division of the Primorsky Flotilla [ru]. Following this posting Lipilin held various command and staff positions in the Primorsky Flotilla's surface ship division, becoming deputy chief of staff of the formation. He commanded the Sovremenny-class destroyers Bezboyaznenny and Bystry, followed by the cruiser Varyag, becoming chief of staff of the surface ship division, and in 2008, its commander.
Lipilin carried out further studies at the Kuznetsov Naval Academy, graduating in 2002. In 2009 he took command of the Black Sea Fleet's 30th Division of Surface Ships [ru], a post he held until 2010, when he entered the Military Academy of the General Staff. Graduating from the academy in 2012, on 8 August that year he was appointed chief of staff and first deputy commander of the Northeastern Group of Troops and Forces. In 2014, he led a detachment of ships of the Pacific Fleet at the international Russian-Chinese exercises Peace Mission 2014. In September 2014, Lipilin was appointed to command the formation.

# Dž

Dž (titlecase form; all-capitals form DŽ, lowercase dž) is the seventh letter of the Gaj's Latin alphabet for Serbo-Croatian (Bosnian, Croatian, Montenegrin and Serbian), after D and before Đ.
It is pronounced [ɖʐ], [dʑ] or [d͡ʒ]. Dž is a digraph that corresponds to the letter Dzhe (Џ/џ) of the Serbian Cyrillic alphabet. It is also the tenth letter of the Slovak alphabet. Although several other languages (see below) also use the letter combination DŽ, they treat it as a pair of the letters D and Ž, not as a single distinct letter.
Note that when the letter is the initial of a capitalised word (like Džungla or Džemper, or personal names like Džemal or Džamonja), the ž is not uppercase. Only when the whole word is written in uppercase, is the Ž capitalised.
The capitalized version of this letter ('Ǆ'), as a single character in Unicode, is also the largest character amongst every Latin character in size (in blocks Basic Latin, Latin Extended-A, Latin Extended-B).

## Treatment as a single letter

In Gaj's Latin alphabet (used for Serbo-Croatian), when the text is written vertically rather than horizontally (on signs, for instance), dž is written horizontally as a single letter; in particular, dž occupies a single square in crossword puzzles. Also, in cases where words are written with a space between each letter, dž is written together without a space between d and ž. These characteristics are also shared by Lj and Nj. Similarly, when a name beginning with Dž is reduced to initial, the entire letter is initial, not just D. For example, Dženan Ljubović becomes Dž. Lj. and not D. L. This behaviour is not the case in Slovak, where it is split into D/d and Ž/ž.
Czech does have the sound d͡ʒ, but in native Czech words it only occurs as a replacement of [t͡ʃ] before other voiced consonants. Therefore, [t͡ʃ] and [d͡ʒ] are written in native words using the same letter č. This is not possible in loanwords, and Czech adopted the Dž orthography in this case (for example džus). In this case, the two letters are always split when text is written vertically. Lithuanian and Latvian similarly use Dž without considering it a separate letter.
Letter "Dž" is found in Unicode at code points U+01C4 (uppercase, Ǆ), U+01C5 (titlecase, ǅ), and U+01C6 (lowercase, ǆ). Unicode representations of the letter are very rarely used in digital media, which tends to favor the corresponding two-character combinations. Manufacturers of computer keyboards and typewriters for Croatian users typically do not provide a single key for the letter. X keyboard extension provides latinunicode keyboard layouts for entering Unicode representation of the letter on standard Croatian keyboard.
# Methylenedioxyallylamphetamine

Methylenedioxyallylamphetamine (MDAL or 3,4-methylenedioxy-N-allylamphetamine) is a lesser-known psychedelic drug. It is also the N-allyl derivative of 3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine (MDA). MDAL was first synthesized by Alexander Shulgin. In his book PiHKAL, the minimum dosage is listed as 180 mg, and the duration unknown. MDAL produces few to no effects on its own, but may enhance the effects of LSD. Very little data exists about the pharmacological properties, metabolism, and toxicity of MDAL.

# WNKO

WNKO (101.7 FM) is a radio station licensed to New Albany, Ohio with a classic hits format.
The station is locally owned and operated by the Runnymede Corporation. WNKO began operating in 1972 and is the sister station to WHTH.
The station had previously covered only the Newark, Ohio vicinity with 3,000 watts of power. In 2009, WNKO filed an application to change its city of license to New Albany, Ohio, change its transmitter location, and upgrade power. The move was tentative on WKSW (now WCLI-FM), formerly in Urbana, Ohio, completing a move into the Dayton market and switching frequencies from 101.7 to 101.5. Until such completion was made, WNKO could not otherwise move because its signal was limited with WKSW.
On March 25, 2011, WNKO began broadcasting from its new transmitter in Johnstown, Ohio. With this change, the station began providing a serviceable signal to the Columbus metropolitan area.
WNKO broadcasts in the HD format, and is also licensed to broadcast a digital hybrid signal.

# Uzboi-Landon-Morava

The Uzboi-Landon-Morava (ULM) outflow system is a long series of channels and depressions that may have carried water across a major part of Mars. It starts with channels that drain into the Argyre basin in the Argyre quadrangle. Water ponded in the Argyre basin, then the overflow is believed to have traveled northward through Uzboi Vallis, into Landon basin, through Morava Valles, to the floor of Margaritifer basin. Some of the water may have helped to carve Ares Vallis. Altogether, the total area drained for this watershed may have been about 11 X 10$^6$ km$^2$ or about 9% of Mars.
Pictures below show the Argyre basin which was once full of water. Also, the wider view shows the distance the water traveled, which was south of Argyre basin to Margaritifer Terra.
