Varuthini Ekadashi, also known Baruthani Ekadashi, is a Hindu holy day, which falls on the 11th lunar day (ekadashi) of the fortnight of the waning moon in the Hindu month of Chaitra (per the South Indian Amavasyant calendar, every month ends with a new moon) or Vaishakha (per the North Indian Purnimant calendar, every month ends with a full moon). By both schemes, Varuthini Ekadashi falls on the same day in April or May. Vamana, the fifth avatar of Vishnu, is  revered.

Significance
The greatness about Varuthini Ekadashi is narrated by the Hindu deity, Krishna, to King Yudhishthira in the Bhavishya Purana. "Baruthini", means "armored" or "protected." Thus, those who observe this ekadashi are protected from evil and given good fortune. King Mandata was enlightened. The Ikshvaku king Dhundhumara was freed was from a curse by the god Shiva. All human beings are assured of prosperity in this life and the next. In the order of donations made on this day, the order of superior benefits are derived in the ascending order of benefits given namely, a horse, an elephant, land, sesame seeds, food grains, gold and cows and finally the highest benefit would be achieved by sharing one's knowledge with others. All such charitable actions would please one's ancestors, the gods and all living entities.

Practices
On Varuthini Ekadashi, certain rules are prescribed to be followed strictly. One should keep an all-night vigil, praying to God, singing devotional songs and hymns in the company of family members. One should not indulge in gambling, sports, sleep, anger, robbery, lying, being narrow minded, brushing one's teeth, exercise, shaving one's head, face or body, smearing oil on one's body and saying something bad about others. One should abstain from violence and any sexual activity.

One should observe a fast (upavasa) and have only one meal. One should not eat meat, black gram, red lentil, chickpea, honey, betel nut, paan (betel nut leaves) and spinach. Eating in bell metal utensils and eating in someone else's house is prohibited. The Havishyanna food (boiled food without spices, salt and oil) offered to the yajna (fire sacrifice) on the previous day (10th lunar day - Dashami) should be consumed by the people observing this fast.

Following all these rules on Varuthini Ekadashi is believed to usher prosperity, name and fame to the individual in the society.

Lahat Regency is a regency of South Sumatra (or Sumatra Selatan) province, Indonesia. It originally included much of the southwestern part of the province, but on 21 June 2001 the town of Pagar Alam was removed from the regency to become an independent city, and on 2 January 2007 the western districts were split off to form the new Empat Lawang Regency. The reduced regency now covers a total area of 4,361.83 km2 and had a population of 369,974 at the 2010 Census and 430,071 at the 2020 Census; the official estimate as at mid 2022 was 441,174 (comprising 225,428 males and 215,746 females). The city of Pagar Alam remains an enclave within the regency, but is administratively separate.

The administrative centre of Lahat regency is the town of Lahat.

Administrative districts 

This Regency as at 2010 was administratively composed of twenty-one districts (kecamatan). Since 2010 three additional districts have been created - Sukamerindu (from part of Pajar Bulan District), Lahat Selatan (from Lahat District) and Mulak Sebingkai (from Mulak Ulu District). Their areas (in km2) and their populations at the 2010 and 2020 Censuses are listed below, together with the official estimates as at mid 2022. The table also includes the locations of the district administrative centres, the number of administrative villages (rural desa and urban kelurahan) in each district, and its post codes.

Notes: (a) The districts of Tanjung Sakti Pumu and Tanjung Sakti Pumi form an exclave of the regency, from which they are physically separated by the city (kota) of Pagar Alam.
(b) The 2010 population of Mulak Sebingkai District is included in the figure for Mulak Ulu District from which it was cut out.
(c)  The 2010 population of Sukamerindu District is included in the figure for Pajar Bulan District, from which it was cut out.
(d) The 2010 population of Lahat Selatan District is included in the figure for Lahat District, from which it was cut out.

Megalithic sites
In Lahat Regency, near Pagar Alam city, there are 1,027 artifacts which spread over 40 sites in 12 communities. The megalithic sites in Lahat Regency may be the second largest such sites in Indonesia after Sangiran (Central Java) for fossils.

"Llangollen Market" is a song from early 19th century Wales. It is known to have been performed at an eisteddfod at Llangollen in 1858.

The text of the song survives in a manuscript held by the National Museum of Wales, which came into the possession of singer Mary Davies, a co-founder of the Welsh Folk-Song Society.

The song tells the tale of a young man from the Llangollen area going off to war and leaving behind his broken-hearted girlfriend. Originally written in English, the song has been translated into Welsh and recorded by several artists such as Siân James, Siobhan Owen, Calennig and Siwsann George.

Lyrics
It’s far beyond the mountains that look so distant here,
To fight his country’s battles, last Mayday went my dear;
Ah, well shall I remember with bitter sighs the day,
Why, Owen, did you leave me? At home why did I stay?

Ah, cruel was my father that did my flight restrain,
And I was cruel-hearted that did at home remain,
With you, my love, contented, I’d journey far away;
Why, Owen, did you leave me? At home why did I stay?

While thinking of my Owen, my eyes with tears do fill,
And then my mother chides me because my wheel stands still,
But how can I think of spinning when my Owen’s far away;
Why, Owen, did you leave me? At home why did I stay?

To market at Llangollen each morning do I go,
But how to strike a bargain no longer do I know;
My father chides at evening, my mother all the day;
Why, Owen, did you leave me, at home why did I stay?

Oh, would it please kind heaven to shield my love from harm,
To clasp him to my bosom would every care disarm,
But alas, I fear, 'tis distant - that happy, happy day;
Why, Owen, did you leave me, at home why did stay?

Etienne Ugeux (1923  1998) was a Belgian journalist.

Career in the Congo 

Ugeux started his career at Belgian newspaper La Libre Belgique, before moving to the colonial capital of the Belgian Congo, Léopoldville, in 1950.
Ugeux worked in the Belgian Congo at the radio station Radio Congo belge. Together with his colleague André Scohy, he founded the Belgo-Congolese Cultural Group (Groupement culturel belgo-congolais) in 1954. Congolese members of the group included Justin Bomboko, Albert Delvaux, Joseph Ileo, Joseph-Désiré Mobutu, and Moïse Tshombe.

He later became a colonial civil servant, serving as the director of information of the colonial government until independence on 30 June 1960. He met sergeant Joseph-Désiré Mobutu for the first time in 1956, who would later become President of the Congo/Zaire. Ugeux helped him in his pursuit to become a journalist.

Katangese Secretariat of State for Information 
Eleven days after Congolese independence, the southern province of Katanga seceded under the lead of Moïse Tshombe and with covert Belgian backing. In October 1960, Belgian Prime Minister Gaston Eyskens and his Minister for African Affairs informed Ugeux that President of the newly independent State of Katanga Moïse Tshombe wanted him to become Chef de Cabinet of the newly appointed Secretary of State for Information Lucas Samalenge. He left for Katanga's capital Élisabethville and accepted the position. His wife would join him a week later whereas their children stayed in Belgium.

When Congolese Prime Minister Patrice Lumumba and fellow imprisoned politicians Maurice Mpolo and Joseph Okito were sent to Katanga during the afternoon of 17 January 1961, Ugeux was at the Cinéma Palace movie theatre with Samalenge and Tshombe at a screening of the Moral Re-Armament campaign when Tshombe was called to his residence.

Journalistic career 
On 21 July 1961, Ugeux leaves Katanga to become a journalist at Belgian newspaper Le Soir.

Family 
Etienne was the brother of William Ugeux (1909 — 1997), member of the Belgian Resistance during the Second World War, and the father of Dominique Ugeux (1949 — 2019), cabinet member of Paul Vanden Boeynants, who had close ties with Mobutu.

Preload is an engineering term with several meanings. In the general sense, it refers to the internal application of stress to certain mechanical systems.

Fastener preload

The most common usage is to describe the load applied to a fastener as a result of its being installed, i.e., before any external loads are applied (e.g., tightening the nut on a bolt). Preload in such cases is important for several reasons.

First, a tightened bolt experiences only a small fraction of any external load that will be applied later, so that a fully tightened bolt can (depending on the exact application) sustain a much greater load than a loosely tightened bolt.

Second, a nut that is correctly tightened will resist becoming loose under the influence of vibration, temperature cycling, etc.

Bearing preload

Internal stress to a bearing through application of negative clearance is known as bearing preloading. Advantages of preloading include the following: maintain axial and radial position for accurate displacements of angular movements; increase bearing rigidity; prevent sliding or gyroscope-like movements, especially with high acceleration or rotation rates; maintain relative position of bearing elements. Preloading methods include position preload and constant pressure preload.

Testing preload

It is also used in testing a specimen, for a process where the crosshead moves to load the specimen to a specified value before a test starts. Data is not captured during the preload segment.

When tensile specimens are initially placed into testing grips, they can be subjected to small compressive forces. These forces can cause specimens to bend imperceptibly, causing inaccurate and inconsistent results. Establishing a small preload as a part of the test method eliminates those compressive forces on specimens and improves the repeatability of results.

Applications

Preload becomes very important for large mechanical and high performance system such as large Telescopes. In the general sense, it refers to the internal application of stress to certain mechanical systems. By tensioning, preloading increases the natural frequency of a structure, avoiding resonance due to external disturbances. It also prevents buckling if stresses change depending on position in certain systems. In the particular case for bearings and fasteners, preload reduces or cancels backlash or dead zones. In addition, preload aids to limit applied loads to a system.

Five men known as sons of Yagbe'u Seyon ruled as Emperor of Ethiopia in succession between 1294 and 1299. Their names were:

Senfa Ared IV () (1294–1295)
Hezba Asgad () (1295–1296)
Qedma Asgad () (1296–1297)
Jin Asgad () (1297–1298)
Saba Asgad () (1298–1299)

Though later tradition remembered them as sons of Yagbe'u Seyon, their actual relationship is not clear, though they did succeed him.

Reigns
Yagbe'u Seyon's five successors ruled Ethiopia between his reign and that of Wedem Arad. Although all of the primary sources agree that Yagbe'u Seyon and Wedem Arad were sons of Yekuno Amlak, sources disagree about how these five are related to each other and the previous two Emperors. Both James Bruce and the traditions collected by Antoine d'Abbadie state that these were the sons of Yekuno Amlak, yet the oldest surviving list of Ethiopian kings lists four of these five (omitting Saba Asgad) without any mention of their filial relationship. The Gadla of Saint Basalota Mika’el, however, does state that Qedma Asgad was the son of Yekuno Amlak.

Historians disagree over the situation that his successors experienced. Paul B. Henze states that Yagbe'u Seyon could not decide which of his sons should inherit his kingdom, and instructed that each would rule in turn for a year. Taddesse Tamrat, on the other hand, records that his reign was followed by dynastic confusion, during which each of his sons held the throne. E.A. Wallis Budge adds the tradition that Jin Asgad initiated the use of Amba Geshen as a royal prison for troublesome relatives of the Emperor, when he was forced to imprison his treacherous brother Saba Asgad; at the same time he imprisoned his other three brothers and his own sons in Amba Geshen.

Whatever the succession situation truly was, it came to an end when Wedem Arad seized the throne.
