# Begazy Dandybai Mausolea

The Mausolea of the Begazy–Dandybai culture are located in mountain valleys of Central Kazakhstan.

## Site description

The collection of 18 mausolea, dating from the 12th to 8th centuries BC, incorporates unique architectural and constructive style. The commonality between all examples is a central room surrounded by two or three perimeter walls made of stacked stone or large vertical stone slabs. The central rooms house sarcophagi and altars, which contrast the nearby burials outside the mausolea in the open. This fact hints at an embedded social stratification and hierarchy within Begazy–Dandybai society, and signifies those buried in the mausolea as royalty, noblemen, or priests.
The Mausolea usually occur within close range to ancient settlements of up to 10 hectares in area, which hints at a once flourishing economy based on agriculture, irrigation, domestication of animals, and use of precious metals found in nearby mines.

## World Heritage status

This site was added to the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List on September 24, 1998, in the Cultural category.(see List of World Heritage Sites in Kazakhstan)

# Hand in Hand (Ugandan TV series)

Hand in Hand is a Ugandan soap opera created to promote vocational training and the field of craftsmanship in the country. The first series was launched in October 2005 and ran until December of the same year. The show was produced by Great Lakes Film Production with funding from the Ugandan Ministry of Education and Sports and the German State Development Bank (Kreditanstalt für die Wiederaufbau). Other sponsors include Coca-Cola, Uganda Telecom and the German Technical Cooperation (GTZ).
The show is performed by an ensemble cast made up of exclusively Ugandan actors. Central themes include vocational training, women's rights/sexism, alcoholism and HIV/AIDS.
The show is ground-breaking in that it addresses these issues, but also in the fact that it uses the medium of film and television to present them, when film and media are not yet a key aspect of Ugandan culture. Ellen Görlich, the show's producer and head of Great Lakes Film Production, has been working in recent years to make the medium more well known in Uganda.

# Waxahachie Creek

Waxahachie Creek is a creek in Ellis County, Texas. The creek rises in Midlothian and flows for 23 miles, running parallel with U.S. Highway 287 from Midlothian to Waxahachie. The creek skirts Lake Waxahachie, flowing under U.S. Highway 77 before flowing into Lake Bardwell near Ennis.

## History

Some of the earliest settlers of the area were the families of William Alden Hawkins and Larkin Newton, who moved to the area in 1848. For Hawkins to claim his 640 acres (260 ha) of land from the Peters Colony group, he was required to build a house on the property he chose along the mouth of Waxahachie Creek before July 1, 1848. The structure was built before the required deadline, and the land near the present-day Hawkins Spring went to the Hawkins family.
