Lotokila Sugar Refinery (LSR), also Lotokila Sugar Complex (French: Complexe Sucrier de Lotokila), was a sugar manufacturer in the Congo. The sugar complex comprised a sugar plantation, a sugar mill and a distillery. The industrial complex was established in 1973, as a public private partnership between Tshopo Province Administration, and an undisclosed private Chinese company. The complex closed down permanently in 2010.

Location
Lotokila Sugar Refinery was located in the village of Lotokila, along the southern bank of the Congo River, in Tshopo Province (formerly Orientale Province), approximately , northwest of the city of Kisangani, where the provincial capital is located. This is about , by road, northeast of the city pf Kinshasa, the country's capital. The geographical coordinates of Lotokila are: 0°42'47.0"N, 24°33'23.0"E (Latitude:0.713056; Longitude:24.556389).

Overview
At its heyday, the company was a large sugar manufacturer, with a large plantation, occupying thousands of acres. It employed over 3,000 full-time and part-time workers. In addition to sugar, the complex distilled ethanol for industrial use and human consumption.

In 1993, the Chinese investors pulled out of the partnership and the joint venture. They exited the Democratic Republic of the Congo, on account of a deteriorating security environment and declining financial conditions. The provincial administration in Kisangani tried unsuccessfully to soldier on by themselves, closing the sugar mill, cutting down staff numbers by 90 percent to 300, but maintaining the cane fields. They too threw in the towel and closed the industrial complex for good in 2010.

Ownership
LSR was a joint venture between Tshopo Provincial Administration and an undisclosed Chinese company.

Other considerations
With the liquidation of the refinery, local law requires the shareholders to pay terminal benefits to the employees on the pay roster at the time of closure, taking into account (a) seniority and (b) duration of service.

The Tshopo Provincial Administration attempted to settle some of those claims but ran out of money. Almost 900 former workers who are not satisfied, organized a daily sit-down protest in a public park in the city of Kisangani, which has gone on daily since 2013.

Antiscopa epicomia is a moth in the family Crambidae.  This species was first described by Edward Meyrick. It is endemic to New Zealand and can be found throughout the country including on Auckland Island, Campbell Island, and the Kermadec Islands. It inhabits native forest, preferring damp, shaded forest ravines. Adults are variable in size and colouration and are on the wing all year but most frequently from October until March.

Taxonomy 
It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1884 from specimens collected amongst native bush in January and obtained near Arthur's Pass and Dunedin and named Scoparia epicomia. In 1928 George Hudson discussed and illustrated this species in his book The butterflies and moths of New Zealand. In 1964 E. Munroe placed this species in the genus Antiscopa. This placement was followed by J. S. Dugdale in 1988. The male lectotype, collected in Dunedin, is held at the Natural History Museum, London.

Description 

The wingspan is 18–19 mm. The forewings are pale light ochreous grey, but the basal third is reddish-ochreous brown. The hindwings are pale whitish grey with a light grey lunule, postmedian line and submarginal band.

This species varies in size as well as in the colour and intensity of its markings. Specimens obtained in the north tend to be brighter marked than those collected in the south of the country. A. epicomia is superficially very similar to S. fimbiata but the latter can be distinguished as the male has antennal pectinations.

Distribution 
A. epicomia is endemic to New Zealand. It can be found throughout New Zealand, including on Auckland Island, Campbell Island and on the Kermadec Islands. It has been observed at altitudes ranging from sea-level to 1150m.

Behaviour 
Adults have been observed on wing all year but are more frequently seen from October to March. This species is attracted to light as well as UV light.

Habitat 
This species inhabits native forest and has been observed in damp, shaded forest ravines.

The BDII, which stands for Berkeley Database Information Index, is an information system for Grid Computing infrastructures. It consists of a standard LDAP server which is updated by an external process. The update process obtains LDIF from a number of sources and merges them. It then compares this to the contents of the database and creates an LDIF file of the differences. This is then used to update the database.

It uses an LDAP implementation of the Grid Laboratory Uniform Environment data model.

The BDII was originally developed  as part of the European DataGrid project.

Lambdopsalidae is a family of extinct multituberculate mammals from the Late Paleocene of Asia. They are part of Taeniolabidoidea, a clade otherwise present in the Early Paleocene (and possibly the Late Cretaceous) of North America; lambdopsalids, therefore, probably evolved from a single radiation that spread into Asia from North America in the mid-Paleocene or earlier. They are represented by the genus Lambdopsalis,  Sphenopsalis and Prionessus.

Though they haven't become as large as Taeniolabis, lambdopsalids were still large by multituberculate standards, the largest species weighting around 30 kg. They are notable for their unique dental speciations such as hypsodonty, which seem to imply speciations towards grazing. Lambdopsalis is notable for offering direct evidence of hair and enamel and tooth prism patterns among multituberculates.

Lambdopsalids lived in the final stages of the Paleocene, disappearing around the PETM. They co-existed with a variety of rodent species - in fact, rodents are thought to have first evolved and diversified in Asia -, indicating that there wasn't competition between both groups, having-coexisted together for several million years.

Hvis lyset tar oss (Norwegian for If the Light Takes Us) is the third studio album by Norwegian black metal solo project Burzum. It was recorded in September 1992, but was not released until April 1994, whereupon it was released through Misanthropy Records and Vikernes' own record label, Cymophane Productions.

Background
Varg Vikernes recorded the first four Burzum albums between January 1992 and March 1993 at the Grieg Hall in Bergen. However, the releases were spread out, with many months between the recording and the release of each album. 

The album cover features a drawing by 19th-century artist Theodor Kittelsen named Fattigmannen (The Pauper). Vikernes dedicated the album to Fenriz of fellow Norwegian black metal band Darkthrone and Demonaz from Norwegian black metal band Immortal; however, in an interview in 2010, he expressed regret for the dedication to Demonaz and claimed Demonaz was "a rat like no other". Promotional copies sent to fanzines included the song "Et hvitt lys over skogen" (Norwegian for "A White Light Over the Forest") instead of "Tomhet". "Et hvitt lys over skogen" later appeared on the 1998 compilation album Presumed Guilty.

According to Vikernes, Hvis lyset tar oss is a concept album, about:

[...] what once was, before the light took us and we rode into the castle of the dream. Into emptiness. It's something like: beware the Christian light, it will take you away into degeneracy and nothingness. What others call light I call darkness. Seek the darkness and hell and you will find nothing but evolution.

Reception

Kelefa Sanneh wrote, "it starts with three long and smudgy midtempo songs, with rudimentary guitar-playing and vocals that sound like screams from down the hall; the mood is grim but also rather wistful, especially during the fourth and final track, an atmospheric keyboard piece that last fourteen minutes."

Will, Opportunity and Solidarity () is a political party in Guatemala.

History
The political party was registered with the Supreme Electoral Tribunal in 2020. Immigrant rights activist Marcos Antil is one of the party's founders. Secretary General Carlos Bezares was previously candidate for URNG, Movimiento Nueva República and Libre.

The National Unity of Hope had an internal division between deputies opponents and supporters of Sandra Torres in 2020, caused by Torres's accusations of corruption and poor electoral results in 2019, as well as her support for the government of Alejandro Giammattei. A faction opposing Torres removed her as leader and expelled her from the party in 2021. However, the Supreme Electoral Tribunal ruled in favor of Torres and allowed her to continue as party leader.

A few days after the decision of the electoral court, the opposition group to Sandra Torres announced its resignation from the National Unity of Hope, to found the "Parliamentary Opposition Group", in reference to its parliamentary opposition to the Giammattei government.

The Parliamentary Opposition Group and deputy Aldo Dávila approached the Will, Opportunity and Solidarity political party. On 7 December 2022, the party was registered with the electoral body. 

On 22 December 2022, former presidential candidate Manuel Villacorta joined the party.

Wildermyth is a tactical role-playing video game developed and published by Worldwalker Games. First released in 2019, the game was released in full in June 2021 for Linux, macOS, and Windows. A Nintendo Switch version is currently in development. The game received generally positive reviews upon release, with praise mostly directed at the game's use of procedural generation for storytelling.

Gameplay
Wildermyth is a tactical role-playing game. At the beginning of the game, the player will choose from several randomized characters. Gradually, these character will grow into battle-hardened heroes and acquire new traits, which will lead to both additional narrative and gameplay opportunities. These characters will also form both friendship or rival relationship with each other, and will age as time progresses. While the main campaign still follows the major story beats, character development is based on a procedural generation system, meaning that each playthrough will be different from one another. Turn-based combat is similar to the XCOM series of games which utilizes a grid-based system. Outside of combat, the player also needs to make choices in the campaign map. For instance, players can choose to rebuild a village, but this decision may mean that the player has less time to prepare for another invasion event.

Development
The game was developed by Worldwalker Games, an independent video game development studio based in Austin, Texas. The studio only had six full-time employees. According to Nate Austin, the designer of the game, Wildermyth "[alternates] layers of handcrafted and procedural content". The game features a central narrative that has a defined beginning, middle and end, but it also incorporates procedural events arisen through combat and the personality of each player character. Story is mainly told through comic strips known as "Library of Plays".

Wildermyth was released via Steam's early access program on November 14, 2019. While Worldwalker was expected to release the 1.0 version of the game within six months after its initial launch, the game was released in full on June 15, 2021. A Nintendo Switch version of the game is currently in development.

Reception
The game received "generally favourable reviews" according to review aggregator Metacritic with a Metascore of 87, based on 22 Critic Reviews. Praise was mainly directed to the game's use of procedural generation for character development and storytelling.

Wildermyth was nominated for Ultimate Game of the Year, PC Game of the Year, Best Indie Game and Best Storytelling at the 39th Annual Golden Joystick Awards.

Gove building, formerly Cuddon building, is a heritage building in Chennai, India. Located on the arterial Anna Salai, the colonial building was built in 1916 in the Indo-Saracenic style.

History
The building was originally built to be used as a car showroom for the city-based Simpson and Co owned by George Cuddon. With various models of luxury cars, including the Mercedes-Benz, on display, the building was considered the finest showroom in India. Named in 1943, the showroom still continues to function for the same purpose. In 1943 the building was renamed Gove Building, when it was bought by V. S. Thiruvengadaswamy Mudaliar of VST Motors. The building has been used by VST Motors ever since.
Although minor modification were made to the building's interior by the company, the outer part remains untouched to retain its heritage value.

The building
Gove Building is an ornate brick double-storied commercial structure. It features a wide frontage of about 90 feet, Italian marble flooring, and 18-foot-long plate-glass windows with sun-blinds imported from England.
