# Khatt Atui

Khatt Atui is a wadi in North Africa. This dry riverbed begins near Aousserd in the disputed territory of Western Sahara and runs southwest through the Dakhlet Nouadhibou and Inchiri Regions of Mauritania, ending at the Baie d'Aouati on the Atlantic coast east of Iouik, Mauritania in Banc d'Arguin National Park.
The Atui basin as defined by the Transboundary Waters Assessment Programme of the Global Environment Facility covers 83,295 square kilometres (32,160 sq mi) and is home to an estimated 99,599 people. The Mauritanian settlements of Chami (on the highway between Nouakchott and Nouadhibou), Imkebden and N'Talfa are located along the wadi, as is the Tasiast gold mine.
Khatt Atui has been suggested as the location of the lower reaches of a major ancient river, dubbed the Tamanrasett paleoriver, that flowed through the Sahara to the Arguin Basin during humid episodes in the late Quaternary. Early Neolithic archaeological sites have been found along the Mauritanian portion of the wadi.
# Oh Yeah (Chickenfoot song)

"Oh Yeah!" is the first single and fourth track from rock band Chickenfoot's debut album Chickenfoot. It was released on 13 April 2009.

## Information

In a video on the band's website, Joe Satriani said it was "the typical Chickenfoot arrangement where the song starts out with a riff and the band kicks in, then going on all these changes and when the main riff starts again, the listeners have forgotten it because of the musical journey". He also told that it got started very simple with him and Sammy talking about old blues songs and artists, and that it would be great if they could fuse what they did naturally as a band with old blues songwriting.

## Music video

The music video for the single premiered at YouTube on June 11, 2009. The video shows the band performing on a scene and in a studio. There are also shots of the band playing at a basketball court. Satriani joked that the video would win many awards as "best barbecue video".

## Track listing

* "Oh Yeah!" (radio edit) -4:13
* "Get It Up" - 4:42
* "Learning to Fall" - 5:14

# Harington Point

The settlement of Harington Point (often incorrectly spelt Harrington Point) lies within the boundaries of the city of Dunedin, New Zealand. It is located at the Otago Heads, at the northeastern end of Otago Peninsula, close to the entrance of Otago Harbour. The mouth of the harbour is at its narrowest at Harington Point, only some 400 metres separating the point from the mudflats at Aramoana on the opposing coast.
Harington Point is located between Taiaroa Head, the site of the only mainland royal albatross colony in the world, and Te Rauone beach, historically known for its many sand dunes which have eroded.
The settlement can be reached via a 45-minute drive from Dunedin City on sealed roads, and is also serviced 7 days per week by a regular bus service taking 60 minutes from the city center, as well as a school bus.
Despite its small size, Harington Point offers accommodation ranging from holiday houses to self-contained motel units.

## Wildlife

The settlement of Harington Point is the closest residential area to the albatross colony, as well as several other regionally important wildlife colonies. Between Harington Point and Taiaroa Head is Pilot's Beach, where little blue penguins are seen returning to nest at dusk. Over the hills southwest of Harington Point is the "Penguin Place Conservation Reserve", a nesting colony of yellow-eyed penguins.
All three offer public tours of the respective wildlife colonies. Wellers Rock wharf, just south of Harington Point, is the base for boat cruises and tours exploring the sea and bird life in the area.

## History
### Wellers Rock

Wellers Rock (officially ungrammatically spelt without a concluding apostrophe), also known as Te Umukuri or Te Umu Kuri, is located between Harington Point and Otakou at 45°47′52″S 170°42′54″E﻿ / ﻿45.79778°S 170.71500°E﻿ / -45.79778; 170.71500. It is named in honour of the Weller Brothers, a family of whalers who formed one of the first permanent European settlements in the southern South Island. The Wellers operated three stations within Otago Harbour, the most important of which was the Otakou station, located near Harington Point. One of the largest shore whaling stations in New Zealand at the time, it operated from 1831 to 1841. An archaeological excavation of part of the site was carried out by the University of Otago in 1991.
In January 2020 Te Runanga o Otakou, the Dunedin City Council, and the Department of Conservation joined forces in a project to protect the site from degradation.

### Gun emplacements

The hills behind Harington Point contain several abandoned World War II gun emplacements, a subterranean communications tunnel and bunker, which were all part of the coastal fortifications of New Zealand.

## Demographics

Statistics New Zealand describes Otakou and Harington Point as a rural settlement which covers 5.65 km$^2$ (2.18 sq mi), and is part of the much larger Otago Peninsula statistical area.

# Kiran Comics

Kiran Comics was an Indian comic line that published a variety of US comics in India in English & Hindi from 1979-1990 by Kiran Publications and distributed by India Book House (IBH). Like many other Indian comics of the era, Kiran Comics relied on reprinting popular international characters. This was common practise at the height of comics sales in India, and led to the lack of original Indian comics characters until Diamond Comics and Manoj Comics created several popular original characters. The rise of Indian characters caused the demise of publications such as Kiran Comics, which only printed international comic strips.

# Surinsar Lake

Surinsar Lake is situated 42 km (26 mi) from Jammu city by road, surrounded by hills and dense forests, and has some mythological importance. Surinsar and Mansar Lakes are considered as twin lakes, as Mansar is located 9 km (5.6 mi) away from it. The Surinsar Mansar Wildlife Sanctuary is located in the midst of both lakes.
The region is populated with abundant fauna, flora, and avifauna. A small island is at the middle of the lake. This island is home to thousands of bats. Due to some religious beliefs, swimming and boating were discouraged, but in recent times there has been extensive development, either in infrastructure or in boating. This has allowed for the opening of recreational options, such as a climbing wall, open theatre, baby and family parks, restaurants, etc. It is becoming the most sought destination of tourists in Jammu region and regularly there are thousands who are travelling to Surinsar Lake .

## History

According to Hindu mythology, the origin of this lake is associated with the warrior of Mahabharata, Arjun. It is believed that son of Arjun shot an illustrious arrow on the ground of Mansar and a spring gushed from the land and became Surinsar Lake. Firstly, it was known as Surang Sar and by the time it became Surinsar.

# Irvin Kaplan

Irvin Deutser Kaplan (November 18, 1927 – January 18, 1994) was an American businessman who was the majority owner of the Houston Rockets of the National Basketball Association and the Houston Aeros of the World Hockey Association.
Kaplan was president of United Foods, a Houston-based frozen food processor and grain warehousing company, from 1960 to 1968. In 1973, Kaplan purchased controlling interest in the Houston Rockets for $1.1 million. He also owned 32% of the Houston Aeros and exercised an option to obtain controlling interest in the team shortly after buying the Rockets. He sold the Aeros to an investor group led by George Bolin in 1975.
On June 10, 1975, Kaplan filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. He listed about $14.1 million in liabilities to 46 different creditors. Three months later he sold the Rockets to a group of minority stockholders headed by Wayne Duddlesten and Ray Patterson. On September 5, 1975, Kaplan was indicted for fraud in connection with the purchase of $3 million in corporate and state bonds. He pleaded no contest and received an eight-year prison sentence that was suspended on the condition he pay back the brokerage houses. On January 11, 1977, Kaplan settled his debts with four securities firms (Weeden & Co., Lehman Brothers, Kidder, Peabody & Company, and Cowen & Co.) after the creditors agreed to take ownership of a Houston-based automobile, truck, and equipment leasing firm.
In 1989, Kaplan, Ghulam Bombaywala, and Doris Katz opened Gugenheim's, a Jewish deli located in Houston. In 1990, Kaplan, Bombaywala, Donald Bonham, Edwin Freedman, and Max Levit and Milton Levit acquired James Coney Island out of bankruptcy court. Kaplan died on January 18, 1994.
