Chandanapuri Ghat is a mountain pass across the Sahyadri on Pune-Nasik National Highway (NH50). Chandanapuri village is on one end of this ghat and on the other is Ghargaon village. This ghat has some steep turns which make this ghat a difficult ghat of the Sahyadri. The traffic between Pune and Nasik is heavy due Mumbai, Pune and Nasik make Maharashtra's industrial triangle due to which this ghat is an important mountain pass in Maharashtra like the Bhor Ghat between Mumbai and Pune and Thal Ghat between Mumbai and Nasik.

New alignment of NH-50 was opened to traffic from March 2017, this alignment replaces the old 2 lane road of the ghat with a 4 lane toll road.

In classical music from Western culture, a diminished seventh () is an interval produced by narrowing a minor seventh by a chromatic semitone. For instance, the interval from A to G is a minor seventh, ten semitones wide, and both the intervals from A to G, and from A to G are diminished sevenths, spanning nine semitones. Being diminished, it is considered a dissonant interval.

The diminished seventh is enharmonically equivalent to a major sixth.  Its inversion is the augmented second.

The diminished seventh is used quite readily in the minor key, where it is present in the harmonic minor scale between the seventh scale step and the sixth scale step in the octave above.

In an equal tempered tuning, a diminished seventh is equal to nine semitones, a ratio of 29/12:1 (approximately 1.682), or 900 cents. There is no standard just tuning of this interval, but one possibility, assuming the flat submediant is a perfect (5:4) major third below the octave, and the leading tone to be 15:16, would lead to an interval of 128:75, about 925 cents; another interval is 216:125, which is three minor thirds.

The 128:75 just diminished seventh arises in the C harmonic minor scale between B and A by combining B-D, D|F, F-A.

Usage in musical expression

Since the Baroque era, Western European composers have used the diminished seventh as a melodic interval to convey intense, sometimes troubled emotion.  Richard Taruskin (2010, p. 258) draws attention to the falling melodic figures in the bass (pedal) part of J. S. Bach's organ chorale prelude from the Orgelbüchlein, "Durch Adam's Fall":

"What is a powerful surprise, and further evidence of Bach’s unique imaginative boldness, is the specific form the obbligato pedal part takes in this chorale setting: almost nothing but dissonant drops of a seventh – Adam’s fall made audible!  And not just the fall, but also the attendant pain and suffering are depicted (and in a way evoked), since so many of those sevenths are diminished."
The expressive potential of the interval was not lost on Mozart, especially when, as Dennis Matthews (1971, p. iii) puts it, "Mozart reserved a minor home-key for his most disquieting utterances." The opening theme of the Piano Concerto in C minor K491, features rising diminished sevenths:

More startling is the finale of Mozart's G minor Symphony No. 40, K550, which critic Charles Rosen (1971, p324) calls "a work of passion, violence and grief." The development section features a disorienting sequence of diminished sevenths:

The dramatic clout of the interval was further exploited by operatic composers during the nineteenth century.  Robert Donington (1963, p. 175) heard the dark, atmospheric Prelude to Wagner’s opera Siegfried  as "a kind of elemental brooding…Its material is an uneasy sequence of thirds low in the bass, and separated by a diminished seventh.":

Haveke (also known as Aveke or 'Aveke) is a Kanak language of New Caledonia, in the commune of Voh. Bwatoo dialect is distinct.

The language is considered endangered with 300 native speakers worldwide reported in 1982. That number gets lower due to the expansion of French in New Caledonia. There are virtually no children speakers of Havake.

USS Pivot (AM-276), an , and the first ship of the United States Navy named Pivot. She was built at the Gulf Shipbuilding Corporation, Chickasaw, Alabama and christened on 11 November 1943 by Mrs Clara L Prouty. Trials started on 12 July 1944 in the Gulf of Mexico and she worked up in Chesapeake Bay.

After shakedown, she operated with the Atlantic Fleet training and patrolling until sailing for the Pacific early in April 1945. She transited the Panama Canal on 10 April 1945 and after training in Hawaiian waters reached the war zone in time for mine sweeping operations around the Ryukyus after the Battle of Okinawa.

She supported Admiral Marc Mitscher's Fast Carrier Task Force during the strikes against Japan in July and operated in Korean waters after Japan's surrender, returning to Okinawa in October and resumed mine sweeping operations in the Ryukyus and receiving four battle stars for World War II.

Pivot was decommissioned 6 November 1946 at Subic Bay, Philippines, sold to Taiwan 27 August 1948 and renamed ROCS Yung Shou. On 1 July 1970, Yung Shou was decommissioned.

Rekia Boyd was a 22-year-old black American woman who was fatally shot in Chicago, Illinois by Dante Servin, an off-duty Hispanic Chicago police detective, on March 21, 2012.

Killing
Servin, an off-duty police officer, drove his car to Douglass Park on the West Side of Chicago after calling the police to make a noise complaint. He then approached a group of four individuals who had been partying in the park and had some form of verbal altercation with them. One of the victims, Antonio Cross, alleged that he believed Servin was looking for a drug dealer, to which Cross allegedly told Servin to get his "crackhead ass" out of there.

Servin fired on the group, hitting Rekia Boyd in the head, and Antonio Cross in the hand. Initially the Chicago police department claimed that Servin had discharged his weapon after Cross had approached him with a gun. The Boyd family quickly responded that the object was in fact a cell phone. No weapon was ever recovered from the scene.

Aftermath
In November 2013, Servin was charged with involuntary manslaughter, but was cleared of all charges on April 20, 2015, by Judge Dennis J. Porter in a rare directed verdict. Porter's reasoning was that since the shooting was intentional, Servin could not be charged with recklessness. "It is intentional and the crime, if any there be, is first-degree murder," said Porter in his ruling. Following this ruling, Servin could not be charged with murder due to double jeopardy protections.

Servin claimed he fired because someone in the group was holding a gun, but it was actually only a cellphone. 
In November 2015, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and police superintendent Garry McCarthy both suggested that Dante Servin should be fired by the Chicago Police Board. The city paid $4.5 million to Boyd's family to settle a wrongful-death lawsuit. 

Servin resigned on May 17, 2016, two days before the departmental hearing which was to decide whether he should be fired.

In November 2019, Servin requested that the case be expunged from his record. The request was denied by a judge, as was a subsequent request to seal the case's records.

Protests
The ruling sparked some public protest. The Black Lives Matter movement has protested the deaths of black girls and women at the hands of police, including Boyd's.

Ruwaished () is a town in the far east of Jordan.  Administratively it belongs to Mafraq Governorate. It has a population of 14,400 (2010 estimate). Ruwaished is the farthest Jordanian settlement to the east. The Karameh Border Crossing between Jordan and Iraq administratively belongs to the Ruwaished Department. 

After the war on Iraq in 2003, about 800 refugees fled from Iraq to the Jordanian border, mostly Palestinians and Somalis, where they were allocated in the Ruwaished Refugee Camp in the No man's land between Jordan and Iraq.

Geography
The town is located in Mafraq Governorate about 240 km to the east of Amman. Ruwaished has a desert climate with an average annual precipitation of 82.9 mm.  About eight wadis converge in the plains of Ruwaished, making it the second largest water basin in the northern desert region after Azraq. the water floods from these wadis in the winter compensate for the low annual precipitation rate of Ruwaished. The town is at an elevation of 683 meters above sea level. 
It is also located on the desert highway connecting Jordan to Iraq. The town has a strategic importance from its location as a rest area for travelers to and from Iraq. There is also a military airport in Ruwaished.

History
It is not known exactly when was the Ruwaished basin first inhibited, however existing Roman water dams, such as the Burqu Dam, indicate that the basin has been used as a traffic stop by the Roman and Byzantine imperial armies, and marked the eastern borders of the Byzantine empire, or was part of the Roman vassal states.

During the War on Iraq in 2003, Ruwaished came to world attention, as tens of media correspondents used it as a base for their coverage of the war.

Demographics
The Jordan National Census of 2004 showed that the town of Ruwaished had a population of 12,098, of whom 55.5% were males and 44.5% females. Only 67.5% of the population were Jordanian citizens. Among the Jordanian citizens, 53.4% were males, while males made up 58% of the foreign nationals .

Economy

Agriculture constitutes the backbone of the town's legal economy. 
Due to its location in plains where eight wadis converge, there are several dams built in the Ruwaished basin, to efficiently utilize the winter floods in the wadis:
North Ruwaished (Abu Alsafa) Dam: has a capacity of 10.3 million m3.
Burqu Dam: Originally a Roman built dam and still in use, has a capacity of about 4 million m3.
Shaalan Dam: has a capacity of 1 million m3.
Alrisha Alsharqiyya Dam: has a capacity of 2 million m3.
Hadlat Dam: The largest dam with a capacity of 20 million m3.
Raqban Dam
Buwaidha Dam
However close to so many borders; for some time now the main economy of the town has been cross-border smuggling.

The Pierce Memorial Garden is an urban park in the town of Denbigh, in Denbighshire, Wales. It was constructed between 1874 and 1887 and commemorates Evan Pierce who donated the land. Pierce, a doctor, sat on Denbigh Town Council for 50 years and served five terms of office as mayor. The garden is registered Grade II on the Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in Wales. The statue depicting Pierce is listed at Grade II*. The park is managed by Denbighshire County Council.

History and description
Evan Pierce was born in Denbigh and trained as a doctor. He later worked as the County coroner for Denbighshire. He sat as an alderman on Denbigh town council for over 50 years and served as mayor on five occasions. While a medical student in Edinburgh, and subsequently in practice in his home town, Pierce gained considerable public recognition for his work in combatting the cholera pandemic. In recognition of this, and of his other works in the town, a public subscription was raised to construct a commemorative garden. Pierce himself donated the land for the garden in the early 1870s, the foundation stone was laid in 1872 and work continued for another decade, the column being completed in 1885. Pierce also funded the two fountains at the entrance to the garden, erected to commemorate the Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria in 1887.

The gardens were restored in 2007 by Purcell Miller Triton.

The memorial set within the park is a column topped by a statue of Pierce. The statue was sculpted by W. and T. Wills, the column by Martin Underwood and the relief panels on the column are by Mario Raggi. The memorial is a Grade II* listed structure and the garden is listed Grade II on the Cadw/ICOMOS Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in Wales. The two fountains are listed at Grade II.
