Gnawa Diffusion is an Algerian Gnawa music band based in Grenoble, France. The group's lead singer, Amazigh (literally meaning 'Free Man' in Tamazight), is the son of the Algerian writer and poet Kateb Yacine. Although there is a strong Gnawa influence, the band is noted for its mix of reggae and roots music. Gnawa Diffusion is very popular in Algeria and is also well known in many other countries including Morocco, Tunisia and France. The band's lyrics are in Algerian Arabic, Tamazight, French and English. Gnawa Diffusion started their career in 1993 with the release of the album Légitime différence.

Members of the band:
 Amazigh Kateb - vocal and gimbri
 Mohamed Abdennour (Ptit Moh) - Algerian mandole, banjo, krakebs, choir
 Pierre Bonnet - bass
 Philippe Bonnet - drums
 Salah Meguiba - Keyboard, oriental percussion, choir
 Pierre Feugier - guitar, choir, krakebs
 Abdel Aziz Maysour
 Amar Chaoui - percussionist, choir

The lead singer's lyrics are often controversial. Themes range from discussions of poverty in Algeria or corruption in government to denunciations of global military actions and perceived imperialism. Nevertheless, in spite of a strong political direction, this band also has numbers which focus on self-determination and improvement.

Atpara () is the smallest upazila of Netrokona District, in the Division of Mymensingh, Bangladesh.

History

When the Baro-Bhuiyans were in power in Bengal, Atpara was a part of the Sarkar Bazuhar. It later became part of the parganas of Sirujial and Mymensingh. The zamindar (landlord) of Mymensingh Pargana, Brajendra Kishore Roy Chowdhury of Gouripur named this area as Brajer Bazaar (Braj's market) after himself. It was later renamed to Atpara, although some locals may still refer to it today as Brajer Bazaar.

During the Mughal period, a three-domed mosque was constructed in between the villages of Shormushia and Haripur. An established Hindu zamindar family later formed in the village of Rameshwarpur. The remnants of the family palace (Roy Bari) remains a popular tourist site.

The Village of Amati in Teligati Union, Atpara is quite notable. Social reformers such as Sonafor Uddin, Muktul Husayn Khan, Shariat Khan, Anfar Uddin, Manfar Uddin and Jafar Uddin were born in Amati. During British period, Shyam Biswas, a Bengali Hindu zamindar, was noted to be very cruel and abusive towards the local inhabitants. He had certain regulations such as no one being allowed to pass his front yard wearing shoes or slippers. The social reformers organised people against this humiliation, rising against Biswas. Their revolution was soon followed in other parts of the district. Amati became a symbol of revolution against tyrant landlords.

On 21 August 1917, Atpara was made a thana. During the Bangladesh Liberation War, freedom fighters attacked the Atpara Thana on 19 August 1971. They killed a number of Razakars as well as the officer-in-charge of the thana, and they also looted arms and ammunition from the thana. On 7 October, a battle was fought leading to the death of three more Razakars. Atpara was made an upazila on 2 July 1983.

Demographics

According to 2011 Bangladesh census, Atpara had a population of 144,624. Males constituted 49.87% of the population and females 50.13%. Muslims formed 90.81% of the population, Hindus 9.09%, Christians 0.01%, and others 0.09%. Atpara had a literacy rate of 38.7% for the population 7 years and above.

As of the 1991 Bangladesh census, Atpara had a population of 120491. Males constituted 51.15% of the population, and females 48.85%. This Upazila's eighteen up population is 60858. Atpara has an average literacy rate of 24% (7+ years), and the national average of 32.4% literate.

Administration

Atpara Thana was formed in 1926 and it was turned into an upazila on 2 July 1983.

Atpara Upazila is divided into seven union parishads: Baniyajan, Duoj, Lunesshor, Shormushia, Shunoi, Sukhari, and Teligati. The union parishads are subdivided into 139 mauzas and 177 villages.

The Ministry of Oil is one of the governmental bodies of Kuwait and part of the cabinet.

History and profile
The production and export of oil in Kuwait were among the responsibilities of Kuwait's finance department until 1962 when the department was reorganized under the name of the ministry of finance and oil. Then the body was renamed as the ministry of finance and economy and dealt with oil-related policies until April 1975 when the ministry of oil was established. The ministry was established to protect the state’s natural resources along with two other major public bodies, namely the Supreme Petroleum Council and the Kuwait Petroleum Corporation. The ministry is headquartered in Kuwait City.

In 1986 the ministry was separated from the Ministry of Finance. At the same time on 12 August 1986 the mission of the ministry was refined and includes the following: Protecting, exploiting and developing the petroleum resources, and raising the share of petroleum in the national income and securing the safety of workers, environment and structures. The ministry was reorganized as part of the Ministry of Energy in 2003. Following this reorganization, energy policy of the country is overseen by the ministry. The Kuwait Petroleum Corporation is the major state-run body governed by the ministry.

Ministers and functions
The minister of oil is the major advisor to the Amir of Kuwait. The minister is also a member of the Supreme Petroleum Council.

From 1978 to June 1990 Ali Khalifa Al Sabah was the minister of oil. Saud Nasser Al Sabah served in the post between 1998 and 2000. He resigned from the post in June 2000 due to an explosion that killed five workers at three oil refineries. Adel Al Subaih served as oil minister until February 2002 when he resigned from the post. He was replaced by Ahmed Fahd Al Sabah as oil minister.

The ministry was headed by five different officials between February 2006 and February 2009. In late 2007 Bader Mishari Al Humaidhi was appointed oil minister. However, he resigned from office only eight days after his appointment due to harsh criticisms of the members of the Kuwaiti parliament. Mohammad Al Olaim was the oil minister until his resignation in November 2008. Abdulmohsen Al Madaj also served as Kuwaiti oil minister.

From February 2009 to May 2011 Ahmad Al Abdullah Al Sabah served as the minister of oil. Mohammad Al Busairi was the oil minister from May 2011 to February 2012.  Hani Hussein was named the oil minister in a cabinet reshuffle in February 2012. Hussein resigned from office on 26 May 2013 due to tensions with members of the Kuwaiti parliament. Mustafa Jassem Al Shamali served as oil minister from 4 August 2013 to January 2014, when Ali al-Omair replaced him in the post and became the ninth oil minister since 2004. In November 2015, Al-Omair was replaced by Anas Khalid Al Saleh as acting oil minister.

Tiny Troubles is a 1939 Our Gang short comedy film directed by George Sidney. It was the 176th Our Gang short (177th episode, 88th talking short, 89th talking episode, and 8th MGM produced episode) that was released.

Plot
Alfalfa has a loud crying baby brother that he wants to get rid of. When out with the gang he sees what he thinks is a baby in a carriage. He puts his baby brother in that carriage and takes this "baby" back home. But the baby happens to be a midget who lives a life of crime named "Lightfingered Lester". Lester initially plays along but causes all sorts of havoc soon after including drinking beer, taunting the gang, and attempting to rob the house. Someone else finds the baby and brings him to the police station. The police then raid Alfalfa's home and take the gang in when they find Lester there. They are all taken in. They send Lester back to jail while giving the gang probation.

Critical reception
In the book The Little Rascals: The Life and Times of Our Gang, film critic Leonard Maltin commented that Tiny Troubles is a "shapeless reworking" of 1929's Bouncing Babies consisting of "woefully thin stuff". He added that the film "represents the first really bad MGM Our Gang short" and that "somehow the [MGM] production staff expected an audience to swallow the idea that 11-year-old Alfalfa and 10-year-old Spanky couldn't tell the difference between an infant and a midget dressed as one." Maltin concluded by saying "embarrassment replaces laughter."

Descoware is a discontinued brand of porcelain- or enamel-coated cast iron cookware Among notable Descoware pots are dutch ovens. Although Descoware is now little-remembered, specialist sources hold that it was the favorite cooking ware of American cooking instructor and television personality Julia Child, more so than Le Creuset whose association with the chef has been widely reported. Child regularly used Descoware on her television show The French Chef. The Smithsonian Institution's installation about Child's kitchen featured a large orange Descoware pot on top of Child's own stove.

It was created by David E. Sanford of the D.E. Sanford Company, later known as Desco Corporation. Sanford purchased the manufacturing rights to the Bruxelles Ware process from General Housewares Corporation in the 1940s, giving him the right to sell the products in the United States.

Bruxelles Ware was originally manufactured in France. Sanford changed the brand name, and contracted to have Descoware manufactured in the 1950s. After forging in Japan, the wares were sent to be porcelainized in updated colors in Belgium. Descoware weighed about 35 percent less than competing brands of cast-iron cookware, giving it a decided advantage. Descoware also offered matching porcelain-coated aluminum accessories. 

The economic growth that Descoware helped generate helped both the Belgian and Japanese economies recover from World War II, and Sanford was Knighted in the name of Belgium's King Baudouin I in 1958 for his role in trade relations. 

Descoware remains a sought-after brand of cookware and has a loyal fanbase; single pieces are often found in thrift stores, and may fetch from $20 to over $150.00 USD on eBay. Two of the original colors were originally called cherry flame and citron, but are referred to as orange flame and yellow today. While yellow and orange were common, there were pieces made in other colors, including blue, as well.

Of the ,  are managed by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, making it one of the largest forests in the Minnesota state system.

The forest's level terrain and abundance of lowland sites are due to the influence of Glacial Lake Agassiz in the area. Tree species predominantly include lowland species such as black spruce, northern whitecedar, and tamarack, although aspen and pine are present in the scattered upland sites.

Recreation
Popular outdoor recreational activities are largely centered on the forest's access to Rainy Lake, the Little Fork River, and the Big Fork River, and include boating, canoeing, kayaking, and fishing. Picnicking and dispersed camping are possible throughout the forest. Trails are designated for hiking, snowmobiling, and  set aside specifically for cross-country skiing.

An encore career or second career is paid work later in a person's life that combines continued income, greater personal meaning, and social impact. These jobs are often in public interest fields, such as education, the environment, health, the government sector, social services, and other non-profits.

The phrase 'encore career' was made popular by Marc Freedman, who founded Civic Ventures, an organization involved with the work-life of senior citizens.

Popular use of the term

Nicholas Kristof, writing in the New York Times, notes that Bill Gates' switch to working full-time for his foundation "is part of a booming trend: the 'encore career' as a substitute for retirement. Definitions are still in flux, but an encore career typically aims to provide a dose of personal satisfaction by 'giving back.'"  Kristof writes: "If more people take on encore careers… the boomers who arrived on the scene by igniting a sexual revolution could leave by staging a give-back revolution. Boomers may just be remembered more for what they did in their 60s than for what they did in the Sixties." Ellen Goodman cites Al Gore as a "poster child, the model for what Marc Freedman calls the 'encore career.'"

Research

In 2008, Peter D. Hart Research Associates, Inc., surveyed 1,063 Americans about their interest in encore careers. This survey found that 5.3 million to 8.4 million people were then in encore careers: "The survey results suggest that the number of people choosing encore careers could grow rapidly. Of those not already in encore careers, half say they are interested in moving into jobs in such fields as education, health care, government, and the nonprofit sector." A companion survey found that half of nonprofit employers found hiring encore workers "highly appealing." Those with experience hiring older adults were most enthusiastic about doing it again.

In 2011, Penn Schoen Berland conducted research on interest in encore careers. The research – which included a telephone survey of 930 Americans and an online survey of 1,408 Americans, ages 44 to 70 – found that as many as 9 million Americans in that age range are in encore careers and another 31 million Americans want encore careers. Those in encore careers, on average, started to think about their encores at age 50 and took about 18 months to make the transition. The research also found that nearly 67% of those in encore careers experienced reduced or no income during the transition.
