# Avaiki

Avaiki is one of the many names by which the peoples of Polynesia refer to their ancestral and spiritual homelands.

## Samoa, Hawaii, Cook Islands

By no means certain, but certainly possible, is an origin in the large islands of Samoa, namely Savaii and Upolu. Variants include, in order of migration, Havaii, the old name for Raiatea in French Polynesia; the far better known Hawaii in the United States, Avaiki in the Cook Islands and Niue and Hawaiki in New Zealand.
There are endless local variants. In the Cook Islands, for example, on the capital island of Rarotonga, northern facing volcanic rocks, tumbling onto the shore millennia ago and still set in place, are well known as the ancient departure point for souls bound for Avaiki - the afterworld or heaven.
In fact each island, vaka or ngati (family line) has its own Avaiki or interpretation of it. For instance it would be somewhere in the Manu'a islands group (American Samoa) for the Ngati Karika (Te au o Tonga tribe - Rarotonga). For the Ngati Tangi'ia (Takitumu tribe-Rarotonga), it would be at Tahiti. Others locate Avaiki at Raiatea...

## Mythology

In the mythology of Mangaia in the Cook Islands, Avaiki is the "underworld" or "netherworld". It is described like a hollow of a vast coconut shell. Varima-te-takere, the mother of Vatea, lives in the lowest depths of the interior of this coconut shell.$^{:392}$ Nevertheless, the New Zealand anthropologist Peter Buck (Te Rangi Hīroa), gives a less mystical interpretation of this Mangaian Avaiki: "when Tangi'ia came to Rarotonga from Tahiti, he brought with him some rankless "manahune" [commoners] ... As they had no chance of rising in social status, some of them under the leadership of Rangi migrated to Mangaia to start a new life (c.1450–1475). Their antagonism toward Rarotonga made them conceal the land of origin and invent an origin from a spiritual homeland in the netherworld of Avaiki."

## Solomon Islands connection

While Solomon Islands is mostly considered Melanesia, the province of Rennell and Bellona is Polynesian. The province consists of Rennell Island, Bellona Island and the uninhabited Indispensable Reefs.
The locals call Rennell Island “MUNGAVA” and they call Bellona Island “MUNGIKI”. They then combine the last three letters of each Island and come up with a word called AVAIKI. If someone local does something silly you might hear someone say ‘That’s the Avaiki way’. A further example of this nomenclature can also be evidenced with the identification of the name of the Province, Renbel which combines Rennell and Bellona. MV Renbel is also the name of the ferry that supplies the province from Honiara.
There is also a rugby and netball team on Rennell Island called Avaiki.
# Centre de Morphologie Mathématique

48°24′14″N 2°41′38″E﻿ / ﻿48.404°N 2.694°E﻿ / 48.404; 2.694 Centre de Morphologie Mathématique (or Center of Mathematical Morphology, or CMM) is a research center of the École des Mines de Paris, France, devoted to the research and promotion of mathematical morphology. It was created in 1968 as a result of the works of Georges Matheron and Jean Serra, who were hired as its first director and assistant director, respectively.
In 1979, the center was renamed Centre de Géostatistique et de Morphologie Mathématique, reflecting its increased scope. In 1986, the part related to geostatistics split into an independent center (Centre de Géostatistique), still directed by Matheron. Serra was named the directory of the new CMM.
The research center developed XLim which was used at the origin of Aphelion developments in 1999.
The CMM is located at Fontainebleau, France.

# Fordmore

Ford's Moore (modern: "Fordmore") is an historic estate in the parish of Plymtree in Devon. From before 1161 to 1702 it was the seat of the at Ford (later "Ford") family, whose coat of arms is recorded in the heraldic visitation of Devon as Gules, a castle argent crowned or on the port a cross formée of the third. The present farmhouse is a grade II* listed building which remains largely unaltered since it was built in the late 17th century as the mansion-house of the Ford family, when it was one of the earliest brick-built houses in Devon. The interior contains much original decorative plasterwork and carpentry, including a dogleg staircase. A much worn ledger stone survives on the floor of Plymtree Church inscribed: Roger Forde, Esquire, was here buried July the 21st An Do 1631, with another to Thomazin Ford (d.1690) inscribed: Here lyeth the Body of Thomazin Ford, wife of Charles Ford of Plymtree, Esq., and Daughter of Abraham Webber, Gent., who departed This life the xxth day of September in The yeare of Anno Do. 1690, aged 69 yeares. Ann Ford, a co-heiress of Ford's Moore, married William Chave, and purchased or otherwise obtained all the outstanding shares in the property. She bequeathed it to her cousin William Wright of Collumpton, from whom it descended to his niece the wife of Charles Phillpott, the owner in 1822, a banker from Bath in Somerset, commissioned into the Freemasons of Bath in 1784. In 1850 the owner was A. Philpott, Esquire.
Today it is a farmhouse owned by the Persey family who operate a large free-range chicken farm. In 2013 the owner was Herbert Persey (born 1949) and his son James Persey (born 1980).
# Burundi Human Rights Initiative

The Burundi Human Rights Initiative (BHRI) is an independent, non-profit and non-government human rights organization. It was founded in the buildup to 2020 Burundian general elections to expose and keep accurate records of human rights violations that would help bring perpetrators of violence to justice. BHRI investigations cover human rights abuses by Burundian government and armed opposition groups. In January 2020, BHRI released a report titled a Facade of Peace in the Land of Fear which detailed wide spread human rights violations by Burundian government and armed opposition groups.
# Burhan Uray

Dato' Sri Burhan Uray (13 November 1931 – 2 October 2018), also known as Huang Shuang'an (Chinese: 黄双安) in Mandarin Chinese and Bong Swan An or Bong Sun On in Eastern Min, was a Chinese-Indonesian entrepreneur and philanthropist, known as the "Timber King" of Indonesia. Born into a poor family in Fujian, China, he moved to Sarawak in childhood and then to Indonesia, where he founded the Djanjanti Group and turned it into the second largest timber company in the country. He later diversified into other businesses including fishery.

## Biography

Uray was born Huang Shuang'an on 13 November 1931, into a poor family in Minqing County, Fujian, China. He moved to Sibu, Sarawak (now in Malaysia) with his parents at the age of six. Having received little education, he worked as a logger in his youth.
Uray moved to Indonesia in 1956, where he worked as a rubber tapper before starting his own timber company. He established good relations with the government and acquired logging concessions and greatly expanded his business in the 1960s. Prajogo Pangestu, who later became another timber tycoon, had his start in the business as an employee of Uray.
In 1976, Djanjanti opened PT Nusantara, a woodworking business near Surabaya, and Indonesian President Suharto personally officiated the opening. Djanjanti acquired concessions in Central Kalimantan, East Kalimantan, and Irian Jaya, totalling 4,000,000 hectares (9,900,000 acres). The group manufactures timber products which are exported to many Asian countries as well as to other continents. Uray became known as "the timber king" of Indonesia. As of 2012, the Djanjanti Group is Indonesia's second largest timber company.
Uray later diversified into other businesses. In 1994, Uray sold 31.5% of Djanjanti to Malaysia's Karamat Tin Dredging Company, in exchange of a 25% share of Karamat. In 1994, Djanjanti started a fishery megaproject worth 1.5 trillion rupiah.
Uray made many charitable contributions. He set up a fund in 1982 to help students in Sibu, and donated 1.5 million ringgit in 1992 to construct the Sarawak Liing Hung Wong Clan Association building. He also made donations to his hometown Minqing to help its development.

## Personal life

Burhan Uray married twice. He had four sons with his first wife, and all were educated abroad and worked in his businesses. In September 1977, he married Betty Pai (Chinese: 白嘉莉; pinyin: Bai Jiali), a Taiwanese television presenter. In 2013, Pai published Uray's biography in Chinese, which was published in English in 2016 under the title Love in the Forest with Burhan Uray.

## Illnesses and death

According to the biography written by his wife, Uray was diagnosed with colon cancer in 1992 and had two operations in Singapore. In 2003, he received an operation in the United States for liver cancer. In 2007, he had a stroke while travelling in Japan.
Uray died on 2 October 2018 in New York, aged 86. He was buried at Nirvana Memorial Park in Sibu, Malaysia on 7 October.

# Busk–Ivanhoe Tunnel

Busk–Ivanhoe Tunnel was a 9,394 ft (2,863 m) long railroad tunnel at an elevation of 10,953 ft (3,338 m) in Colorado. It was built by the Busk Tunnel Railway Company for the Colorado Midland Railroad in 1891 as a replacement for the Hagerman Tunnel at a lower, more direct route.
The tunnel was briefly abandoned following Colorado Midland's 1897 bankruptcy, but returned to use a few years later.
It was converted to auto traffic in 1922 as the Carlton Tunnel, a toll tunnel carrying then-State Highway 104, closing in 1942 when the state discontinued maintenance of the road. The tunnel collapsed in 1945.
Starting in 1921, while it was still a highway tunnel, the tunnel was also used as a water diversion tunnel, moving water from Ivanhoe Lake in the Colorado River Basin to Busk Creek in the Arkansas River Basin. After the tunnel collapse, the Highline Canal Company purchased the tunnel, repairing it at a cost of $50,000. The water was originally used for irrigation of agricultural lands in the Arkansas Valley in Southeastern Colorado. The Board of Water Works of Pueblo, Colorado bought half of the water rights in 1971, and the City of Aurora bought most of the remaining rights in 1988.
# Acacia legnota

Acacia legnota, also known as heath wattle, is a shrub of the genus Acacia and the subgenus Plurinerves that is endemic to an area of north eastern Australia.

## Description

The shrub or small tree typically grows to a height of 2 to 4 m (6 ft 7 in to 13 ft 1 in) and has smooth, grey bark with obvious white lenticels and glabrous branchlets. Like most species of Acacia it has phyllodes rather than true leaves. The thin leathery, glabrous and evergreen phyllodes have a narrowly elliptic to oblanceolate-elliptic shape that is sickle shaped with a length of 12 to 18 cm (4.7 to 7.1 in) and a width of 8 to 19 mm (0.31 to 0.75 in) and has six to eight main nerves. When it blooms in June produces simple inflorescences found in groups of two to four in the axils with spherical flower-heads that have a diameter of 5 to 6 mm (0.20 to 0.24 in) and contain about 35 golden coloured flowers. the glabrous and leathery seed pods that form later have a linear shape but are rounded over each of the seeds with a length of up to 12 cm (4.7 in) and a width of about 9 mm (0.35 in) and contain dull dark brown seeds with a broadly elliptic shape and a length of approximately 5 mm (0.20 in).

## Taxonomy

The species was first formally described by the botanist Leslie Pedley in 1978 as a part of the work A revision of Acacia Mill. in Queensland, Part 1 as published in the journal Austrobaileya. Pedley later reclassified it as Racosperma legnotum in 1987 but it was returned to genus Acacia in 2001.

## Distribution

It is found in far north and north eastern Queensland on the Cape York Peninsula and is reasonably common from around Cape Flattery to Cooktown along the coast with populations found as far west as the Iron Range area and down to around Cowley Beach in the south where it is often situated on dunes or in shrubby heathland communities usually often surrounding streams or lagoons growing in sandy soils.

# Gunwinyguan languages

The Gunwinyguan languages (Gunwinjguan, Gunwingguan), also core Gunwinyguan or Gunwinyguan proper, are a possible branch of a large language family of Australian Aboriginal languages in Arnhem Land, northern Australia. The most populous language is Kunwinjku, with some 1500 speakers.
Gunwinyguan languages have a fortis–lenis contrast in plosive consonants. Lenis/short plosives have weak contact and intermittent voicing, while fortis/long plosives have full closure, a more powerful release burst, and no voicing.

## Languages

The list here is based on Green (2003). However, Green believes the similarities among these languages are due to shared retentions from Proto-Arnhem, and are not indicative of an exclusive relationship between them.
* Gunwinggic: Kunwinjku (Gunwinggu), Kunbarlang
* Jawoyn (Djauan)
* Dalabon (Ngalkbun)
* Jala (Rembarngic): Rembarrnga, Ngalakgan
* Warrayic: Waray, Uwinymil
Yangmanic had once been included, but has been removed from recent classifications. Various other languages appear to be related to this Gunwinyguan core. This larger family is sometimes also called Gunwinyguan, but more unambiguously Macro-Gunwinyguan or Arnhem.

# Centurion Boats

Centurion Boats, owned by Fineline Industries, is a manufacturer specializing in the production of water sports boats, primarily tow boats for wakesurfing and wakeboarding. It was founded by current owner Rick Lee. Its headquarters and manufacturing operations are in Merced, California.

## History

Centurion Boats was founded by Rick and Pam Lee. They acquired the trade name from a Salt Lake City company, and took their first order by phone in 1976. The first products were inboard ski boats, which were produced in a leased 10,000 square foot facility in Southern California. In 1986 the first V-Drive ski boat was brought to market.
As business increased, the facility was expanded to 121,000 sq feet, set on about six acres, including a test lake for research and development. Centurion later manufactured mainly boats designed for Wakeboarding and Wakesurfing.
In 1990 the company developed C.A.T. fins, and by 1992 they had developed a computerized management system to monitor and control boats' features and performance. In 1995 Centurion began manufacturing 'The Wave', a boat specifically designed to create large wakes for Wakeboarding and Wakesurfing.
By 1997 the new UCS construction system was introduced, eliminating wood from the boat structure. In 2003, Centurion introduced the Tsunami model, a cabin cruiser with a large fuel tank.
Centurion developed sideswipe exhaust in 2003. The Avalanche model for wake riding and the similar but smaller V-Drive Cyclone model were introduced in 2004.
After developing VTF Fins in 2005, Centurion collaborated with NASCAR in 2007 to produce a series of licensed waterskiing boats.
For several years Centurion sponsored the Watkins Glen sprint racecourse, leading to the unusual title "Centurion Boats at the Glen".
In 2015 the Correct Craft company bought a majority interest in Centurion Boats.

## Current models

As of 2013, the company's best-selling line was the Centurion Enzo, a V-Drive tow boat geared towards producing Wakesurfing waves. That year an Enzo was the official towboat of the World Wake Surfing Championship. Another newer model was the Avalanche C4, a V-Drive boat for both wakesurfing and wakeboarding. The Elite V C4 model is a less expensive V-Drive boat, with a narrower beam and shallower draft. The Carbon Pro is an inboard ski towboat, geared towards tournament ski competition performance.
# CMAQ

The community multiscale air quality model, or CMAQ, is a sophisticated three-dimensional Eulerian grid chemical transport model developed by the US EPA for studying air pollution from local to hemispheric scales. EPA and state environmental agencies use CMAQ to develop and assess implementation actions needed to attain National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) defined under the Clean Air Act. The CMAQ simulates air pollutants of concern—including ozone, particulate matter (PM), and a variety of air toxics — to optimize air quality management. Deposition values from the CMAQ are used to assess ecosystem impacts such as eutrophication and acidification from air pollutants. In addition, the National Weather Service uses the CMAQ to produce twice-daily forecast guidance for ozone air quality across the U.S. The CMAQ unites the modeling of meteorology, emissions, and chemistry to simulate the fate of air pollutants under varying atmospheric conditions. Other kinds of models—including crop management and hydrology models— can be linked with the CMAQ simulations, as needed, to simulate pollution more holistically across environmental media.
The CMAQ is developed and maintained by scientists in the EPA's Office of Research and Development, and new versions of the software are made publicly available through regular public releases.
CMAQ may also refer to the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program, a program of the United States Department of Transportation.
