# Elijah Masinde

Elijah Masinde (c.1911–1987) was a Bukusu activist.

## Early life

Born around 1910 – 1912 in Kimilili, Bungoma District, Masinde wa Nameme okhwa Mwasame was initiated into the Machego age-set. At the time, the Kenya-Uganda railway was passing through Ababukusu land. He began to practice football at a young age, eventually starting out as a footballer and captaining a football team from Kimilili. He also played for the Kenyan national team in the Gossage Cup against Uganda in 1930.

## Career

By the early 1940s, he had risen to the rank of a junior elder within his community in Kimilili area, and become increasingly anti-colonial. In 1944, he led a number of localised defiance campaigns against the colonial authorities, and was imprisoned many times as a result. At one time he was put in Mathare Mental Hospital, and on another occasion he was detained in Lamu.

## Detention, old age, and death

Upon Kenya's independence, Masinde was detained by the government of Jomo Kenyatta for almost 15 years. He was accused of fomenting religious hatred. He was released by the government of Daniel arap Moi in 1978, however, Moi also arrested him following his clashes with traffic policemen in Webuye and Kitale. Elija Masinde remained defiant and continually questioned post independence Kenya's government, especially on the issue of land distribution and citizen rights. He died in 1987, considered a neglected freedom fighter.
Before his death, Masinde said that one of his relatives had bewitched him. He also described to his elder son where he wanted to be buried: he wanted a huge sycamore tree uprooted to make way for his grave. The family decided to bury him elsewhere, though, but the spot they chose for his grave turned out to be someone else's hidden grave. They took this to be an omen and proceeded to bury him in the spot where the sycamore tree had been.
He left a widow, Sarah Nanyama Masinde. She was still alive in November 2007 and was then reportedly 105 years old.
# Babylonischer Turm

The Babylonische Turm (literally: "Babylonian Tower") is a 2,060-metre-high rock needle on the eastern arête of the Kellenspitze (2,238 m), the highest summit in the Tannheim Mountains in the Austrian state of Tyrol. Seen from the south the pinnacle looks like an independent peak. It is important to Alpine climbers because it has numerous climbing routes.

## Climbing routes

The easiest ascent, the so-called normal route, runs up the South Gully and is rated as UIAA grade I to III and was first climbed in 1904. The Southwest Arête, first ascended in 1921, is classed as UIAA grade IV+. The route up the West Face of the tower (opened in 1959) requires free climbing to grade UIAA VI+ , or technical climbing at grade A 3. In the mid-1980s, short routes at grades V+ and IV+/A 0 were opened up the Southeast Arête and up the crumbly Southeast Face.
# FABRAP

FABRAP, or Finch, Alexander, Barnes, Rothschild and Paschal, was an architectural firm founded in Atlanta, Georgia in 1958. They specialized in sports stadiums, and developed the headquarters for several major Atlanta businesses.

## History

In 1948 James H. "Bill" Finch and Miller Barnes, two Georgia Institute of Technology graduates, joined to form architectural firm Finch and Barnes. Caraker Paschal, also a Georgia Tech graduate, became a partner in 1957 to form Finch Barnes and Paschal. In 1958 Cecil Alexander and Bernard "Rocky" Rothschild joined the firm to create FABRAP. FABRAP embraced the International style popular at the time.
FABRAP partnered with Heery and Heery, another major Atlanta architecture firm, in 1965 to develop the Atlanta–Fulton County Stadium. Following the quick completion of this stadium, the partnership gained a large business in developing sports facilities, including the $45 million Riverfront Stadium in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1970. FABRAP was hired and partnered with other firms to develop the headquarters for First National Bank in 1966, Coca-Cola in 1979, and Southern Bell in 1982.
In 1984 FABRAP merged with Atlanta engineering firm Rosser White Hobbs Davidson McClellan Kelly to form Rosser Fabrap International. In 1993 the firm was renamed Rosser International.

# Australian Surveying and Land Information Group

Australian Surveying and Land Information Group (AUSLIG) was an Australian organization that merged in 2001 with the Australian Geological Survey Organization to become Geoscience Australia.
Its headquarters building was located in Canberra, Fernhill Technology Park.
AUSLIG's main function was to provide national geographic information.
It produced maps and audiovisual products relative to many aspects of Australian geography from the technology available during its time of operation.
It was formed in 1987, when the Australian Survey Office joined with the Division of National Mapping. The Australian Survey Office had been established in 1910. The Division of National Mapping had been in operation since 1947, and had been publisher of the Atlas of Australian resources which had incorporated over 20 component booklets of standard information about Australian natural resources at the time of publication.
AUSLIG also provided satellite imagery to industry and government. AUSLIG incorporated the Australian Centre for Remote Sensing (ACRES), which had been established in 1979 as the Australian Landsat Station and had been renamed in 1986. The Australian Survey Office, under its own name, was working with remote sensing data in 1988.

# Asenath Bole Odaga

# Elephantopus elatus

Elephantopus elatus, common name tall elephantsfoot, is a North American species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae. It is native to the southeastern United States from eastern Louisiana to South Carolina.
Elephantopus elatus is a perennial herb up to 70 cm (28 inches) tall. Leaves are oblanceolate, up to 20 cm (8 inches) long, darker on the upper side than they are on the lower side. The plant produces numerous small flower heads in a tight cluster, each head generally containing only 4-5 florets.
# Babyloniidae

Babyloniidae is a taxonomic family of predatory sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks unassigned within the superfamily Neogastropoda.

## Nomenclature

Three family-group names are older than Babyloniidae. Swainson based his concept of Eburninae on species of Babylonia, but he misidentified Eburna, the type species of which belongs to the family Olividae; under Art. 41 of the Code, the case should be resolved by the ICZN. Dipsaccinae and Latrunculinae are based on junior synonyms of Babylonia, none of which has been used in recent decades. However, Latrunculus has sporadically been used as valid shortly after 1899 (e.g. by Cossmann 1901 when he established the subfamily name), so that Babyloniidae cannot be protected automatically under ICZN Art. 23.9 (Reversal of precedence). The case has to be submitted to the ICZN to conserve the name Babyloniidae. [Bouchet & Rocroi 2005]

## Genera and species

Genera and species within the Babyloniidae are as follows:
* Babylonia F. Schlüter, 1838
* Zemiropsis Thiele, 1929

### Genera brought into synonymy

* Galanthis Gistel, 1848: synonym of Babylonia Schlüter, 1838
* Latrunculus Gray, 1847: synonym of Babylonia Schlüter, 1838
* Peridipsaccus Rovereto, 1900: synonym of Babylonia Schlüter, 1838

## Enemies

The Babyloniidae are enemies with the common snail and are aggressive with them to the extent of breaking their shells and eating them.
* Babylonia canaliculata
* Zemiropsis papillaris
# Badampudi railway station
