# Lac des Îles (Beauce-Sartigan)

The Lac des Îles (in English: lake of islands), also called Lac Grande Coudée is a lake located near the village of Saint-Hilaire-de-Dorset, in Beauce-Sartigan Regional County Municipality (MRC), in the administrative region of Chaudière-Appalaches, in Quebec, in Canada.

## Geography

Its area is approximately 2 square kilometres (0.77 sq mi), its altitude of 420 metres (1,380 ft). This lake is surrounded by forest.
The discharge from the lake joins the Rivière de la Grande Coudée, near Saint-Martin. The discharge from the lake joins the Rivière de la Grande Coudée, near Saint-Martin, and is a tributary of the Chaudière River, therefore a sub-tributary of St. Lawrence River.

## Tourism

Camping, fishing, kayaking and various outdoor activities are accessible near the lake and its surrounding area in a natural environment.

## Toponymy

The toponym "Lac des Îles" was made official on January 31, 1980, at the Commission de toponymie du Québec.
# Lake Nojiri

Lake Nojiri (野尻湖, Nojiri-ko) is in the town of Shinano, Kamiminochi District, Nagano Prefecture, Japan. Second to Lake Suwa among lakes in Nagano Prefecture, Nojiri is a resort, the location of the first pumped-storage hydroelectricity in Japan, and the site of a Japanese Paleolithic excavation.

## Data

* Transparency: 5–7 m

## Geography

The lake is located on a plateau with an altitude of 654m, which is between Mount Madarao in the east and Mount Kurohime in the west. With an area of 4.56 km$^2$, it is the second largest natural lake in Nagano Prefecture after Lake Suwa. It has a depth of 39.1 m (128.2 ft), and its storage volume exceeds that of Lake Suwa. The water of the lake flows out through the Ikejiri River, joins the Seki River, and flows into the Sea of Japan. There are various theories regarding the creation of lake and it might have been dammed by the eruption of Mt. Madarao, or that it was dammed by the Ikejiri River mud flow caused by the eruption of Mt. Kurohime.

## Fishing

The lake rarely freezes over in the winter. "Dome boats," outfitted with stoves, catch smelt (Hypomesus nipponensis) in Lake Nojiri. The lake was once the home of native Japanese trout but now is home to bass from the United States.

## Tategahana Paleolithic Site

In 1946, a tusk of Palaeoloxodon naumanni (Naumann's Elephant, named in honor of the geologist Heinrich Edmund Naumann, 1854–1927) was accidentally discovered. In 1962, excavations began at the edge and on the bottom of the lake. The location was a promontory known as Tategahana on the western shore. Discoveries included implements of stone and bone, fossils of Palaeoloxodon naumanni, and of deer. Analyses of diatoms, pollen, paleomagnetism, and volcanic ash place the site, with its fossils of humans and megafauna, in the Paleolithic, the Pleistocene, about 40,000 years ago. Kondo et al. conclude that Tategahana is a "kill-butchering site."
# The Narrow Path (2006 film)

The Narrow Path is a 2006 Nigerian film, produced and directed by Tunde Kelani. The film was adapted from The Virgin, a novel written by Bayo Adebowale.

## Plot summary

The film follows the story of Awero, a young woman living in the village of Orita South-West Nigeria during the colonial era. Awero was a beautiful virgin whom all the men in the village wanted to marry. She was involved in a love triangle-esque relationship between Odejimi a brave hunter and Lapade a rich jewellery merchant. She later accepted to marry Odejimi a brave hunter from another village but was raped by Dauda her childhood friend before her traditional ceremony.
However, a dark secret is revealed on their wedding night, causing a rift between the villages of Orita and Agbade and bringing them on the brink of war.
In the end, the conflict is resolved by a group of village women, led by Awero, who advocate for the cancellation of virginity tests in all the villages. The film features the beautiful Yoruba country's rich art and culture. It includes a soundtrack called Ikoko Akufo (Lamentations for a broken pot) by Beautiful Nubia that was later included in his Essential Work Album.

# Lac du Lauvitel

Lac du Lauvitel is a lake in the commune of Le Bourg-d'Oisans in the Isère department of France. At an elevation of 1530 m, the lake has a surface area of 0.35 km$^2$. It is situated in the Vénéon valley. It is the largest lake of the Écrins massif and forms one slope of the Oisans region. The lake is accessible by foot from the nearby town of la Danchère.
The southern part of the lake and valley are classified as part of a "réserve naturelle intégrale" since 1995. This classification aims to preserve such areas in their natural state as if entirely unaffected by human activity. This restricted area is forbidden to visitors and is instead reserved exclusively for scientific research, having been recognised in 2012 as an essential protected area for its scientific importance according to an assessment by the International Union for Conservation of Nature.

## Geography

The surface of the lake is approximately 25 to 35 hectares, reaching 65 m in depth. The natural water-retaining dam appeared approximately 4000 years ago, when a rockslide added material on top of a pre-existing glacial moraine. For most of the year, no surface water escapes from the lake.
In winter, the thickness of the surface ice layer surpasses one meter. During periods of snowmelt, meltwater overflow from the surrounding summits is well over the porous flow capacity of the lake barrier. As a result, the depth of the lake can increase by 20 m compared to its summer level, before overflowing.
# Tandonia nigra

Tandonia nigra is a species of air-breathing land slug, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Milacidae.

## Distribution

This slug species is endemic to north Italy and south Switzerland: Monte Generoso and Baraghetto peaks, east and west slopes, between Lake Como and Lugano lake.
The type locality is the peak of Monte Generoso, a mentioned altitude of 1695 m above sea level.
This species is known only from mountains peaks and east- and west- exposed slopes, at 1500–1700 m. It is an endemic species with a small range. The Swiss habitats are threatened by mass tourism; this species is Critically Endangered in Switzerland.

## Description

The slug is basically black, although the mantle is cream with very dense black spots. The tentacles are white with black dots, and when they are contracted they appear black. The neck and anterior sides are a dirty cream in color, as is the sole of the foot.
The body length of preserved specimens is up to 35 mm; the width of the body of preserved specimens is up to 7 mm.
Reproductive system: The penis is subdivided in two sections. The epiphallus is shorter and slightly widening at its posterior end. The vas deferens opens slightly asymmetrically. The oviduct is thin; the spermatheca is elongate with a short duct. The vagina is almost as long as the penis, with various accessory glands like short bundles surrounding the section between the oviduct and the vagina. The atrium is tubular, like a prolongation of the penis.

## Ecology

This slug seems to be active at night. It is presumably to be herbivorous.
Copulation occurs in July. Adults, semiadults and juveniles were observed simultaneously from May to October. The life cycle must take at least 2 years.

| Allmusic | |
| The Music Box | |
The Denver Post wrote of the album, "Sanjay Mishra plays acoustic guitar with an eclecticism well suited for his multicultural background.... [The] selections [with Garcia] are lovely and expansive."
AllMusic's review said, "But the Garcia connection aside, this disc is worth a listen on the strength of Mishra's nimble guitar work and smooth compositions alone.... A gorgeous record that updates the rich traditions of Indian Classical music by placing them in a modern context."
The Music Box wrote, "Blue Incantation is an exceptional collection of instrumental pieces from guitarist Sanjay Mishra, and its success goes far beyond the assistance he received from Jerry Garcia.... [Mishra] is more than just technically competent, too. Throughout Blue Incantation, he brandishes a range of emotions and feelings that are difficult for many guitarists to capture."
Rolling Stone India said, "If Garcia's playing style too is reminiscent essentially of his Grateful Dead oeuvre, the musical backdrop is a studied and meditative acoustic flowering of Mishra's varied jazz, Spanish and classical influences. Samir Chatterjee on the tabla brings up a distinctly Indian rhythmic mood to the album."

# Sorbose dehydrogenase

In enzymology, a sorbose dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.99.12) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
    L-sorbose + acceptor $\rightleftharpoons$ 5-dehydro-D-fructose + reduced acceptor
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are L-sorbose and acceptor, whereas its two products are 5-dehydro-D-fructose and reduced acceptor.
This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-OH group of donor with other acceptors. The systematic name of this enzyme class is L-sorbose:acceptor 5-oxidoreductase. This enzyme is also called L-sorbose:(acceptor) 5-oxidoreductase.
# Costas Los

Costas Los (born 31 January 1955) is a Greek former racing driver.

# International Magicians Society

The International Magicians Society (IMS) is a magic society created by Tony Hassini to "help promote and preserve the art of magic and provide a format where magicians could share their secrets and ideas." The society gives its own "Merlin Award" to magicians on a regular basis, though this award is recognized in the wider community, its authenticity has been questioned, and critics allege that the award can increase publicity.

## History

The IMS claims on its website that it was founded in 1968, though this date has been questioned, and asserted to actually be 1994. The IMS website also claims that the Merlin Award statuette, designed by Hassini, was created in 1964 by Carol Michaud, a New York University art student. Though the IMS site claims that the Merlin Award is the Academy Award of Magic, critics allege that it lacks much of the oversight that enhances the credibility of awards in other industries.
Illusionist Morgan Strebler blogged that he received a Merlin Award in 2011. Also in 2011, the Indian paper The Hindu wrote that magician Gopinath Muthukad was the second Indian magician to receive the award. In 2013, illusionist Cosentino was written up in the Tasmanian Times for receiving one.
The distribution of Merlin Awards to virtually unknown magicians in relatively remote areas of the world has drawn scrutiny. Many prominent magicians within the industry, as well as industry journalists, have now questioned the authenticity of the award.

# Bloomington City Hall

Waldron Arts Center, also known as the Old City Hall and Fire Station, is a historic city hall located at Bloomington, Indiana. It was built in 1915, and is a three-story rectangular Beaux-Arts style limestone building. Additions were made in 1950 and 1972. It features a modest entrance portico.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989. It is located in the Courthouse Square Historic District.
# Bleak Hill Park

Bleak Hill Park (formerly known as Short Heath Recreational Ground) is a public park in Erdington, Birmingham, UK. It is identified by Birmingham City Council as a "green corridor".

## History

The park is named after the topographical name of the nearby area; referring to either "bleak hills" or "black hills". Like the origin of Blakesley Hall in Yardley, three Old English words could provide the root of the word "Bleak" – one meaning "black", one meaning "to shine", and one meaning "shining, pale, or bleak".
The area was first recorded as Blakhilles in 1461.

### Renovation

In 2008, the park underwent a £100,000 transformation to remove graffiti and litter and to install sports pitches.
# Blue Magpie (ship)

Blue Magpie was a 105-metre Japanese freighter owned by Jinyu Shipping Company. She was registered at Panama, and chartered to a Dutch corporation. In November 1983, she ran aground at Newport, Oregon, spilling 285,000 litres of crude oil into the coastal waters.

## Incident

On 19 November 1983, Blue Magpie was en route to Vancouver, to pick up lumber, after unloading a cargo of Salvadoran coffee in Long Beach, California. Caught up in a storm, the ship attempted to take shelter in Yaquina Bay, but smashed into a coastal rock jetty and broke apart, causing a major oil spill. The vessel's nineteen South Korean crew members were unharmed, and were retrieved from the wreck by helicopter.
It transpired from Coast Guard radio logs that the ship's captain, Kim Gap Bong, had been repeatedly warned of the danger of trying to enter the harbor. The captain, however, was insistent that he had to get out of the storm. Blue Magpie's chief officer, Kang Tae Jung, later explained that their situation had been desperate. The ship had spent nine hours on a violent sea, and was in serious danger of capsizing.

## Oil spill

An estimated 70,000 gallons (265,000 litres) of Bunker C oil leaked from the wreckage, although most of it was swept out to sea by the wind. The oil that did wash ashore, however, posed a significant threat to the local wildlife. Brown pelicans and other coastal birds were found on the beaches covered in oil, and despite the best efforts of volunteers, over 250 birds did not survive their ordeal. Other marine species, such as razor clams, were also thought to be in danger.
A Coast Guard Strike Team, specially trained to manage oil spills, was flown in from California. A containment boom was placed around the ship, and some of the oil was vacuumed off the beach. The cost of the cleanup was at least $140,000, and oil continued to wash up for several weeks, up to 100 miles from the crash site.
A study into the long-term effect of the oil spill on bird numbers found that certain species, in particular the American coot, had shown a significant decline. However, this could have been due to external factors, such as that year's occurrence of El Niño, so the overall impact of the spill was deemed impossible to determine.
# Blood and War

The Harriers, Book Two: Blood and War is a 1993 anthology of shared world short stories, edited by Gordon R. Dickson. The stories are set in a world created by Dickson and are original to this collection.

# Blue Yonder (album)

Blue Yonder is the debut and sole studio album by American duo Blue Yonder, released by Atlantic in 1987.
Two singles were released from the album: "Windsong" and "House of Love". "House of Love" was also recorded by American singer Maria Vidal for her 1987 self-titled debut album.

## Critical reception

Upon its release, Billboard praised Stewart's "intriguing vocals" for being "the chief asset of this debut album". They felt "Windsong" "might cut a radio groove" but added the album's "moody songs generally lack necessary momentum for chart longevity". Cash Box praised the album's "powerful collection of good, honest songs" and added, "Stewart's vocals exhibit a passion that places her in a league with Annie Lennox and Chrissie Hynde." Gary Graff of the Detroit Free Press described the album as "well-done, albeit same-sounding pop". Music & Media picked Blue Yonder as one of their "albums of the week" on February 21, 1987.
