## Plot summary

Osori wrote mostly about the gender biased system in the Nigerian electoral system. The book provides insight into the role that money plays in Nigerian elections.

## Reception

# Bassia hyssopifolia

Bassia hyssopifolia is a species of flowering plant in the family Amaranthaceae, known by the common names five-horn smotherweed, five-hook bassia, and thorn orache. It is native to parts of Asia and Eastern Europe, and it is known on other continents as an introduced species, including North and South America and Australia. It is a weed, invasive at times.
The Latin word hyssopifolia (which also occurs in several other plant names, for example that of Cuphea hyssopifolia) means "hyssop-leafed".

## Description

This species is an annual herb with simple or branching stems usually growing up to a metre tall, or sometimes taller. The leaf blades are flat and linear to lance-shaped. The lowest leaves are up to 6 centimetres long. The inflorescence is a short, narrow spike occupying the upper stem. It is lined with woolly-haired flowers growing solitary, paired, or in clusters of three. The small flower has five segments, each of which has a hooked spine at maturity. The fruit is less than 2 millimetres long. The hooked spines of the flower persist on the dry fruit.
This species resembles kochia (Bassia scoparia), but it has longer, hairier flower spikes. It has been mistaken for Russian thistle (Kali tragus), but it is less branched and less spiny. It is also similar to lamb's quarters (Chenopodium album), but its leaves are smaller and narrow to a point.

## Distribution

This plant is native to Eurasia and was first described from the Caspian Sea region. It may have spread beyond its native range as a seed contaminant, possibly of alfalfa seed. It was first recorded in North America in 1915 near Fallon, Nevada. By 1921, it was noted in the Central Valley of California, and by 1940, it was present from British Columbia to Wyoming and had established in eastern North America. The seeds are probably dispersed when the spiny dry fruits catch in animal fur and feathers, and human activity such as road maintenance may aid their spread and establishment.

## Biology

This plant grows easily in alkaline and saline soils. While it has been known to displace native flora at times, it is more persistent than competitive; it simply tolerates stress better than many other plants. On land with little disturbance, native plants can replace it. It generally does not have a strong negative effect on local ecosystems. Infestations are rarely severe.
Livestock will graze on the plant, but it is toxic to them, particularly to sheep, which have been known to die after just one feeding. The foliage contains potassium oxalate. It has been cited as one of the major plant species causing oxalate poisoning in ruminants.

## Control

Where B. hyssopifolia occurs as an introduced weed it may be controlled by several methods, including hand-pulling. It does not resprout from root bits left in the soil. Seedlings can be cut off at ground level. The plant could be controlled with herbicides, akin to kochia and Russian thistle infestations, but it has rarely required such a treatment. Fire has also been used to restore native bird nesting grounds taken over by B. hyssopifolia.
# TV5 (Latvian TV channel)

TV5 was a Latvian television channel, created in June 1996. All programs were broadcast in Russian. The channel showed Russian serials, movies, news and hockey broadcast out of Arēna Rīga. Until October 2001 the name was TV Riga. TV5 was owned by Modern Times Group. Financial reasons forced TV5 to cease broadcast in March 2016.

## History

In June 1996, TV Riga started broadcasting. This channel broadcast took place in the Riga Radio and TV Tower. The broadcasting radius was 70 kilometers around Riga. In 1999, for a short period, the channel license was revoked because the National Radio and Television Council complained about channel activity, but in order to obtain the permission to broadcast the channel in March 2001, it resumed its activities.
On 1 October 2001 TV Riga changed its name and began to broadcast as TV5. Initially, TV Riga broadcast in Latvian and Russian, but with the renaming the Latvian ceased.
TV5 reached 80% of the Latvian territory. It was one of the Latvian television channels whose programming was done completely in Russian. Recorded programs were subtitled in Latvian, but live programming in Russian was not translated. This channel was also available on cable television and internet.
In March 2010, together with TV5, LNT acquired the Latvian company "Independent national media".
On 14 December 2010 at 14.00 the signal of TV5 via Astra 4A satellite, served by SES Astra, was paused. SES Astra explained it with the channel debts, but the channel management avoided giving any explanations.
On 9 January 2012, the channels TV5, LNT and Kanāls 2 became the owner of the Swedish media company Modern Times Group.
TV5 had extended periods of time working at a significant loss and to reduce LNT's losses, it was decided that TV5 was to be terminated for financial reasons on 31 March 2016.

# William Jones (Chartist)

William Jones (1809–1873) was a political Radical and Chartist, who was a former actor, working as a watchmaker at Pontypool in Monmouthshire and also kept a beer house.
He was prosecuted for his part in the Chartist Newport Rising at Newport, Monmouthshire on 4 November 1839.
Along with John Frost and Zephaniah Williams, he was appointed a leader of a column of men in what is sometimes regarded as the greatest armed rebellion in 19th-century Britain.
Jones was supposed to be bringing men to Newport from the Pontypool area and the eastern valleys of Monmouthshire on the night of the rising, but they never arrived, delaying the main body of Chartists final march into Newport into the daylight hours and thus partly contributing to its defeat.
He was captured a few days after the rising. He was imprisoned in Monmouth County Gaol and placed on trial at the Shire Hall in Monmouth. He was sentenced to death for High Treason, but his sentence was commuted and he was sentenced to penal transportation to Australia for life.

## Exile in Australia

While in exile, members of the Chartist movement continued to advocate for the repatriation of the leaders of the Newport Rising. In March 1847, the House of Commons debated a proposal for their repatriation, but it was defeated by 196 votes to 31 (including the vote of Disraeli). The convicts won partial pardon in 1854 and total pardon in 1856. John Frost returned to England. Jones decided to remain behind in Australia and stuck by his watchmakers's trade. He died in poverty in 1873.
# William Jones (British Army officer)

General Sir William Jones, GCB (1808 – 8 April 1890) was a Welsh soldier who was a senior officer in the British Army.

## Biography

Jones was born the only son of William Jones of Glen Helen, Caernarvonshire. Educated at Sandhurst Military Academy, he enlisted as an ensign in the 61st Regiment of Foot on 10 April 1825.
He rose through the ranks to lieutenant in December 1826, captain in November 1836, major in July 1844, lieutenant-colonel in December 1848, colonel in November 1854, major-general in April 1863, lieutenant-general in December 1871 and full general on 1 October 1877. He was with the 61st throughout the Punjaub campaign of 1848–49 and took part in the passage of the Chenab and the battles of Sadolapore, Chillianwallah and Goojerat during the Second Anglo-Sikh War of 1849. After Goojerat, in command of his regiment and a troop of Bengal horse artillery, he pursued the enemy to the Khyber Pass, for which he was made a C.B. and awarded a medal with two clasps.
During the Indian Mutiny Jones commanded the 3rd infantry brigade at the Siege of Delhi and was one of the five officers selected to lead the storming parties on 14 September 1857. When the assault was made he held command of both the first and second columns following the death from wounds of Brigadier-General Nicholson, and remained in charge during the six days of fighting in the streets.
On 2 June 1869 he was made a K.C.B., and on 29 May 1886 a G.C.B. From 2 January 1871 until 1881 he served as regimental colonel of the 32nd (Cornwall) Regiment of Foot. When that regiment amalgamated in 1881 with the 46th Regiment of Foot to form The Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry, he became colonel of the 1st Battalion of the new regiment until his death.
He died at Lansdown Lodge, Lansdown Road, Dublin on 8 April 1890, and was buried in Mount Jerome cemetery. In 1857 he had married Elizabeth (died 12 November 1885), the second daughter of John Tuthill of Kilmore House, County Limerick.

# Aircraft Identity Corps

The Aircraft Identity Corps was a Canadian civil defence organization operating between 1940 and 1945. The corps' mission was to report suspicious aircraft and guard against German, Japanese, and Italian attack. The use of observers was deemed important because radar was not yet in widespread use. It was rebuilt as the Long Range Air Raid Warning System in 1950.
The Aircraft Identity Corps was formed in 1940 by Air Vice Marshal George Croil for service during World War II. By the war's end in 1945 it had over 30,000 members.
Among the corps' responsibilities was a system of 266 observation posts extending from the Sault Ste. Marie locks in northern Michigan to Hudson Bay, to protect the strategically important locks against a possible long-range German air attack. The joint US and Canadian defence of these locks was coordinated by the US Army's Central Defense Command.
In the then-separate Dominion of Newfoundland, there was an Aircraft Detection Corps Newfoundland. At the behest of the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF), the Commissioner of Defence for Newfoundland, L. E. Emerson, amalgamated the Aircraft Detection Corps Newfoundland with the Canadian Aircraft Detection Corps. On March 15, 1942, Emerson circulated a communiqué stating the "Aircraft Detection Corps Newfoundland" would be organized by the RCAF as a unit of the Canadian Aircraft Identity Corps. One of the letter's recipients was Newfoundland public figure P. W. Crummey, an Aircraft Detection Corps Newfoundland volunteer. Attached to the communique was a letter from Flight Lieutenant H. H. Graham, commanding officer of Torbay Airport, No. 1 Group RCAF, St. John's; glossaries of airplanes and ships; an identity card; and procedural instructions.
At war's end, Aircraft Identity Corps volunteers in Canada and the Dominion of Newfoundland received a brass Volunteer Aircraft Observer button and certificate of thanks from Canada's Department of National Defence. Some Aircraft Detection Corps Newfoundland volunteers qualified for the United Kingdom's Defence Medal.

# Atractus badius

Boie's ground snake (Atractus badius) is a nocturnal and semi-fossorial snake species in the Colubridae family. Like the other members of the Atractus genus, its diet is composed predominantly of earthworms, which it actively hunts in the leaf litter of the primary and secondary rainforests it inhabits. The IUCN lists the species as 'Least Concern' because of its wide distribution, including in protected areas.

## Description

On average, Boie's ground snake reaches a length of 25-40 cm. Its basic color pattern consist of light yellow rings enclosed by two dark grey bands that contrast against a red background. The head is grey whereas on the neck, two white triangles are present. The belly is off-white with irregular black spots. In adults, the colored bands often fade and turn the snake dark grey, in particular its tail end. The species is nocturnal, terrestrial, and semi-fossorial, and is often encountered under wood debris, decomposing tree trunks, or even in old termite nests.

## Distribution

The species is distributed across the Guiana Shield. and can be found in Colombia, Suriname, French Guiana, Peru, and Brazilian Amazonia. It may also possibly occur in Venezuela. According to the British Herpetological Society, the species was mistakenly thought to occur in Argentina because a specimen was found in Las Palmas.

## Reproduction

The species is oviparous and lays on average three to five eggs in January.

## Common names

In English, the species is known as St. Marta's ground snake, Dunn's ground snake, French Guyana ground snake, and Boie's ground snake. In Portuguese, the species is known as fura-terra or cobra-da-terra.
# Aurdalen Valley

Aurdalen Valley (71°42′S 12°22′E﻿ / ﻿71.700°S 12.367°E﻿ / -71.700; 12.367) is a small moraine-covered valley between Grakammen Ridge and Aurdalsegga Ridge, in the Petermann Ranges of the Wohlthat Mountains. It was discovered and plotted from air photos by the Third German Antarctic Expedition, 1938–39, re-plotted from air photos and from surveys by the Sixth Norwegian Antarctic Expedition, 1956–60, and named "Aurdalen" ("the gravel valley").
