The Xinfengjiang Dam (also known as the Xinfeng Dam) is a gravity dam on the Xinfeng River,  upstream of its confluence with the Dong River, and just west of Heyuan City in Guangdong Province, China. The dam's power station has a 292.5 MW installed capacity and its reservoir supplies water for farming along with drinking water to Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Hong Kong. Construction on the dam began in 1958, the first generator was operational in 1960 and the dam complete in 1962. The dam's reservoir-filling is attributed to several earthquakes within the project area including a 6.1-magnitude (Mw) on March 19, 1962.

Background
Construction on the dam began in 1958, a total of  of earth was excavated at the construction site. On October 20, 1959 the reservoir behind the dam began to fill and in November there were several small earthquakes within the reservoir zone. When the water level reached  above sea level (ASL) in May 1960, there were three to four earthquakes at a 3.1- and on July 18, when the water level  ASL, a 4.3- earthquake occurred. On March 19, 1962 when the reservoir reached  ASL there was a 6.1- earthquake with an epicenter  downstream from the dam which destroyed several houses in the area. After the earthquake and as a precaution, cavities within the foundation were reinforced with concrete. This and other upgrades brought the dam to a 9.5--rated resistant design.

Design
The dam is a  tall,  wide gravity dam. Its crest width is  and it has a structural volume of  of concrete. Above the dam is a  drainage area and it withholds a reservoir of . The dam contains a surface controlled spillway with three floodgates, each with a  maximum discharge capacity for a total of . The discharge tunnel on the dam's left bank has a  diameter, is  long and has a  capacity. The dam's reservoir has a  flood storage capacity, rated for a once in a hundred-year flood. The dam's power station is located at its base (toe) and contains four Francis turbine generators. Three are rated at 72.5 MW and the fourth at 75 MW for a total design capacity of 292.5 MW but the power plant can operate at a maximum 315 MW after later upgrades.

Zeynep Çelik-Butler is a Turkish-American professor of electrical engineering at the Nanotechnology Research and Teaching Facility within the College of Engineering at the University of Texas at Arlington. There are two distinctly different areas of research within the group.

Biography
Çelik-Butler received a BS in physics from Boğaziçi University, Istanbul, Turkey, in 1982. Coming to the United States, she received a 1984 MS in electrical engineering from the University of Rochester in New York in 1984, and then a PhD in electrical engineering in 1987, also from Rochester.

Research
The research activities in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) started in the early 1990s with the development of new materials for microbolometers for room-temperature infrared detection. This work set the foundation for IR detectors on flexible substrates. The group demonstrated the first IR microbolometer array on a polyimide substrate with performance comparable to those on silicon substrates. Based on the success of this IR radiation detector work on flexible substrates, the group expanded to other sensing functionalities like flow, tactile, pressure, force and most recently acceleration. Integration of sensors on conformal substrates necessitated the group to initiate die-level encapsulation for flexible device packaging. Today, the group is focusing on multifunctional, conformal sensor arrays with integrated bias, read-out and power capabilities, the so-called Smart Skin, for aerospace, defense and medical applications.

The second thrust area is noise and reliability of nanoelectronic devices. In the early 1980s, as a graduate student under the supervision of Professor Thomas Hsiang, Celik-Butler developed one of the first 1/f noise theories based on the McWhorter Noise Model and applied to metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFETs). Most recently, the same model has been revised to account for low-frequency noise observed on multi-stack gate MOSFETs, specifically high-k dielectric gate oxides. The research group has also investigated and developed noise models for polysilicon emitter bipolar transistors, lateral pnp bipolar transistors and SiGe heterojunction bipolar transistors. One of the   contributions of the research group is the demonstration of random telegraph signal (RTS) noise as a non-destructive characterization and reliability tool in nanoelectronics. Today, this research thrust area is investigating the effect of extended drain region on noise and reliability of LDMOS structures.

Butler is a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.

Jacques Dubois (born 1933, Liège), Professor emeritus  of Literature at the Université de Liège invented the concept of the Literary Institution following the work of Pierre Bourdieu by analogy with other social institutions such as military, medical, and political. He is also a Member of the Groupe µ. In 1983, he was the main editor of the Manifesto for Walloon culture.

On 6 May 2003 the prestigious collection La Pléiade was enriched by 21 of Simenon's novels. Jacques Dubois, president of the Center for Georges Simenon Studies has chosen the Simenon's books, written the notes and surveys  with another  Walloon Simenon specialist Benoît Denis. Jacques Dubois: 
We were totally free to choose the 21 works which will be represented in the Pléiade. The choice was difficult and painful. And Benoît Denis:  We have of course included the inescapable masterpieces, The Snow Was Black, Act of Passion Mr. Hire's Engagement,  The Little Saint. We wanted the different periods of his life, French, American, Swiss, to be represented. As a result we have included works from his beginnings, less known, like Tropic Moon and The House by the Canal, where, nonetheless, all of Simenon is already present. We have included relatively few Maigrets, as these novels have a rather pronounced standard and repetitive aspect.

The literary institution
According to Michel Biron, "Jacques Dubois sought to establish the link between institution and text, while institution upon one of sociocriticism's and, his view, neglected goals, namely the conditions of the material conditions of a text."

Timu Forest also known as Timu Central Forest Reserve, is a  forested area located in Kaabong District, Northern Region, Uganda. The forest consists of Tropical savanna and has an elevation of 1,786 metres. It is located in the remote area of Kotide. Timu Forest is among the other sites proposed for nomination by UNESCO. The forest is known because Aruu Falls originated from it in Kaabong. The forest reserve  borders Kidepo Valley National Park.

Setting and structure 
Timu Forest is surrounded by the Ik ethnic group in North Eastern Uganda. The tribe population  is about 6,500 based on 2005 statistics, a people whose existence many Ugandans and the rest of the world are hardly aware of. It is mist-shrouded and densely forested mountains of northeastern Uganda.

The Four Georgians were a group of gold prospectors who are traditionally credited for discovering the Last Chance placer gold strike of Helena, Montana.  They were John Cowan, D. J. Miller, John Crab, and Reginald (Robert) Stanley.  Of the four, the only actual Georgian was Cowan, who hailed from Acworth, Georgia. The other three came from Alabama (Miller), Iowa (Crab) and England (Stanley). It has been speculated that they were named "Georgians" not from where they came from, but because they were practicing the "Georgian method" of placer mining.

In 1864, they left the Alder Gulch area of Virginia City, Montana Territory, heading north toward the Kootenai River country to pursue rumored prospects there.  En route, they heard that the Kootenai prospects had played out, and instead decided to prospect the Little Blackfoot River.  They crossed the Continental Divide to the Prickly Pear Creek drainage, still finding only minimal signs of gold at best.  Noting a small creek in the Prickly Pear Valley with the best prospects so far, they again moved north to explore the Marias River.  Still finding little gold after six weeks of hard work, they returned south to the place they referred to as Last Chance Gulch, since it would be their final opportunity on a long, arduous prospecting trip.  They were prepared to give up on the whole area.

On July 14, 1864, they dug two prospect pits on Last Chance Gulch upstream from their earlier efforts.  Both pits revealed flat gold nuggets and gold dust.  All their efforts had finally paid off.  Eventually, Crab and Cowan were sent back to Virginia City for more supplies, other prospectors began appearing, and the Last Chance Gulch bonanza began.

In 1867, the Four Georgians finally sold out their claims and took $40,000 of gold dust by wagon to Fort Benton to board a steam boat down the Missouri River and eventually all the way to the U.S. Mint in Philadelphia where they cashed in three years of hard labor in the Montana gold fields.

Mågerø is the private holiday home and summer retreat of the Norwegian royal Family. The compound is located on the small Mågerø peninsula on the Tjøme island, which is also the retreats namesake.

History 
The royal family had owned several holiday retreats prior to the construction of Mågerø. This included the villa Bloksberg at Hankø, originally purchased and owned by King Olav, and the estate Berget, which was owned by Queen Sonja's family. The royal family was, however, bothered by the lack of privacy at the former retreats, and therefore wanted a proper, shelter holiday home to be constructed when King Harald and Queen Sonja ascended the throne in 1991. The complex was designed by Lund Hagem Arkitekter, and build between 1991 and 1993. 

For security reasons, the retreat is located at the military area Control and Reporting Centre, which is controlled by the Norwegian Air Force.

Patrick O'Flanagan (born 1947 in Dublin, Ireland) is an Irish geographer and academic.

Career
He is emeritus professor of the Department of Geography at University College Cork, Ireland. He was the former Head of this department. At present, he contributes regularly to the Socio-Territorial Research Group at the University of Santiago de Compostela (Galicia).

His research is mainly focused on Atlantic Europe - with a particular interest in Galicia and Atlantic Iberia - from the perspective of cultural and historical Geography. O'Flanagan helped to define and standardise the actual concept of Atlantic Europe. Other research deals with comparative evolution of port cities, rural change, housing and settlement studies.
