Magadha was a kingdom located in southern northeastern India and Nepal. It went through different dynasties like the Brihadratha, Haryanka, Shaishunaga, Nanda, Mauryan, Shunga, and Kanva dynasties. Over time, Magadha lost some of its lands to the Satavahanas in 28 BC and became a smaller principality.
Greater Magadha, which was part of the eastern Gangetic plains, included nearby areas and parts of Nepal, and had its own unique culture and beliefs.
The Magadha people are mentioned in ancient texts like the Atharvaveda along with other groups. The main part of their kingdom was in Bihar, south of the Ganges River. Their first capital was Rajagriha, later known as Rajgir, and then Pataliputra, which is modern Patna. Magadha grew by conquering Vajjika League and Anga, covering most of Bihar and parts of Bengal, Jharkhand, Orissa, Uttar Pradesh, and Nepal.
The kingdom is talked about in Jain and Buddhist texts, as well as in the Ramayana, Mahabharata, and the Puranas. The early rulers are not well-known, but the Haryanka dynasty led for about 200 years from 543 to 413 BCE. Gautama Buddha, the founder of Buddhism, lived in Magadha, gaining enlightenment in Bodh Gaya and giving his first sermon in Sarnath.
Following is the Chronology of rulers according to the Buddhist Mahavamsa:
Lita Ford
Lita Rossana Ford (born 19 September 1958) is an English-born guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter. She was the lead guitarist for the all-female rock band the Runaways in the late 1970s, and then embarked on a successful glam metal solo career that hit its peak in the late 1980s. The 1989 single "Close My Eyes Forever", a duet with Ozzy Osbourne, remains Ford's most successful song, reaching No. 8 on the US "Billboard" Hot 100.
Thomism
Thomism is a philosophy and theology school based on the ideas of Thomas Aquinas, a Dominican philosopher and theologian from the 1200s. His famous works include disputed questions and commentaries on Aristotle in philosophy, and the Summa Theologica in theology, which is very important in medieval theology and still guides the Catholic Church's philosophy and theology.
Pope Pius X in 1914 emphasized that understanding the Church's teachings requires knowing Thomas's fundamental ideas. According to him, these ideas are like the solid base for understanding both natural and divine things. If these principles are ignored, it becomes hard for students to grasp the meanings of the Church's teachings.
Thomas Aquinas believed in accepting truth from any source. He combined ideas from Greek, Roman, Islamic, and Jewish philosophers. He was a realist, meaning he thought the world could be known as it is. Thomas often supported Aristotle's views and used Aristotle's terms and ideas. He also followed some neoplatonic principles, such as the belief in God as the essential being and everything being good by participating in this essential goodness.
Aquinas changed the direction of Scholasticism, moving it from neoplatonism to Aristotle's ideas. This shift had a big impact on Catholicism and the ethics of the Catholic school, making it one of the most influential philosophies ever. Many people follow its teachings.
However, during Aquinas' time, some of his ideas were banned in Paris by Bishop Stephen Tempier, and some were condemned by ecclesiastical authorities in 1277. The Franciscan Order opposed Aquinas, while the Dominicans defended his work. Early critics included William de la Mare, Henry of Ghent, Giles of Rome, and Jon Duns Scotus. On the other hand, defenders included Albertus Magnus, Richard Knapwell, William Macclesfeld, Giles of Lessines, John of Quidort, Bernard of Auvergne, and Thomas of Sutton.
In the modern period, Pope Leo XIII tried to revive Thomism with the encyclical Aeterni Patris in 1879. This led to Neothomism, which emphasized the ethical aspects of Thomism. It dominated the Roman Catholic Church until the Second Vatican Council. Thomism is still an influential philosophy in Catholicism today, although the Church does not favor one philosophy over others.
In recent times, the cognitive neuroscientist Walter Freeman suggests that Thomism is a philosophical system that aligns well with the understanding of cognition in neuroscience.

Makpon Kingdom
The Makpon Empire is named after the Tibetan and Balti title "Makpon", which means 'Army Leader,' 'Commander-in-Chief,' or 'Military Chief'. In 1835, G. T. Vigne visited Baltistan and translated "Magpon/Makpon" as "Duke" or "Chief" in his book "Antiquities of Indian Tibet".
Until the tenth century, Baltistan was part of West Tibetan province, practicing Tibetan Buddhism. Over time, Buddhist influence decreased. Sayyid Ali Hamadani is credited with introducing Noorbakhshism in Baltistan by converting Buddhists in Khaplu and Shigar valleys.
In the 12th or 13th century, Ibrahim Shah, a Prince from Kashmir (Egypt in some sources) married the Princess of Skardo, establishing the Makpon Dynasty. After Tibetan suzerainty dissolved, the Maqpon dynasty ruled Baltistan. A student of Sayyid Ali Hamadani, visited Baltistan in the 9th century, converting many Baltis to Islam.
Maqpon Bukha or Bugha (1464-1490 A.D.) is considered the real founder of the Makpon Dynasty. He established the capital of Skardo. He faced challenges but surprised his subjects by governing effectively. Ali Khan (1540-1565 A.D.) expanded his kingdom, and Ghazi Mir (1565-1580 A.D.) conquered the Rondu Valley. Ali Senge Anchan (1580-1624 A.D.) is a significant figure who expanded the empire from Chitral to Burang in Western Tibet.
Ali Senge Khan also conquered Ladakh, facing conflict with the Ladakh raja. Later rulers, like Ghazi Mir and Ali Senge Anchan's son, expanded the kingdom to Gilgit, Hunza, Nagar, Nuristan and Chitral. In Balti folk songs Anchan's remarkable conquests are praised and Maqpon Empire's boundaries are defined as following:
Meaning from Leh's Purang to Brooshals Shingel is Makpon. Ali Senge Anchan initiated the game of Polo at the Shundur Polo Ground, which is the worlds highest Polo ground. The Mughal Empire conquered Baltistan in 1586, and the local rulers pledged allegiance. Ali Senge Anchan had a significant encounter with the Mughal court, forming an alliance and introducing Mughal arts to the region.
In 1839, the Dogra commander Zorawar Singh defeated Balti forces, leading to the end of the Maqpon dynasty in 1845. The last king, Ahmed Shah, was taken prisoner and died in captivity in Lhasa, Tibet.
The Balti people were once influenced by Zhangzhung and the Bon religion, practicing Animism. In 686, Baltistan came under the control of the Tibetan Empire. Under the rule of Songtsen Gampo, Tibetan Buddhism started influencing the region. Gompas and stupas were built, and lamas became important in Balti life.
In the 14th century, Islamic scholars from Kashmir traveled through the mountains to spread Islam. By the late 17th century, Islam gained strength in Baltistan due to the efforts of the Noorbakshia Sufi order. Over time, many people converted to Shia Islam, while only a few chose Sunni Islam.
The Makpon dynasty or the Makpon Royal House ruled the Makpon Empire. The dynasty was founded by Ibrahim Makpon, who married the Princess of Skardu. Following is the timeline of Makpon rulers:

Kaisi Ye Dor (movie)
Kaisi Ye Dor is a compelling Indian film that delves into the age-old tradition prevalent in the country where parents often play a pivotal role in choosing life partners for their children.
The story revolves around Tripathi ji, a dedicated Sub-Inspector in the small town of Kotwaali Thaana. Having worked his way up from being a constable, he holds strong principles and envisions a future for his son, Abhimanyu, as a respected Gazetted officer. However, Abhimanyu, a street-smart and materialistic individual, pursues a career as a tour guide, deviating from his father's expectations. This leads to a strained relationship between the two, with Abhimanyu finding it challenging to reconcile his independent lifestyle with his father's disciplined beliefs.
Tripathi ji arranges Abhimanyu's marriage to Vidya, a traditional and well-educated girl from a small village. Despite Abhimanyu's resistance due to his love for Rashmi, he reluctantly marries Vidya. The narrative unfolds as Vidya strives to establish a connection with Abhimanyu, who remains indifferent and fails to acknowledge her as his wife.
Tripathi ji, observing the strained dynamics, develops a bond with Vidya, providing her with the love and support she needs. This paternal relationship becomes crucial for Vidya's resilience in the face of Abhimanyu's indifference. As Vidya pursues her dreams, Tripathi ji encourages her, revealing a softer side that contrasts with his interactions with his son.

Tripathi ji, aware of the situation, silently supports Vidya, offering her the strength to endure Abhimanyu's indifference.

Public school (United Kingdom)
In the United Kingdom, public schools are independent fee-paying schools like Eton College. By "independent" is meant fee-paying, and therefore not run by the public authorities. They are called 'public' because they accept students from anywhere not just people living nearby in the school area. Some are boarding schools, where students can sleep and live at school during the school term. The public schools have an association called the Headmasers' and Headmistresses' Conference. Junior schools which prepare children for entry into public schools are called Preparatory schools ('prep' schools).
Others of note include Fettes College in Edinburgh, which is a co-educational day school. This is very unusual for a public school. Gordonstoun is an independent public school in Moray, Scotland. It is where King Charles III was educated. It is a co-educational residential school.
The term "public school" in Scotland is traditionally used for state schools.
Three twenty-first century Prime Ministers, Tony Blair, David Cameron and Boris Johnson, were educated at public schools, as were a high proportion of those in previous centuries. Margaret Thatcher was educated at a grammar school, but one with Academy status.
Public schools for girls in England have a similar unofficial ranking, though more of them are day schools. The best-known girls public school is Cheltenham Ladies' College. The Girls' Schools Association (GSA) is the body for independent girls' schools. It has over a hundred schools as members. The GSA is a member of the Independent Schools Council.
First, an historical note. Up to and including the 19th century girls from "good families" were educated at home by governesses and tutors. This applies very widely across the world, not just in England. The other controversial issue is whether girls should be educated with boys or not. Here the United States is one extreme and Muslim countries the other extreme. Even in England, co-education is almost universal at primary level, but is not common at secondary level, except in the state education sector.
Thresher sharks, also known as simply threshers, are large mackerel sharks of the family Alopiidae and the genus Alopias.
They are distinguished by their long tails and unique hunting behaviors.
Thresher sharks are known for their exceptional agility and speed. They grow up to 20 feet long. Males sexually mature when they are 8 to 11 feet long and 3 to 6 years old. Females are able to reproduce when they are 8 to 9 feet long and 4 to 5 years of age.
Thresher sharks are ovoviviparous. Embryos develop inside eggs within the mother's body, ultimately giving birth to live young.
Despite being active predatory fish, these fishes do not attack humans.
There are currently 16 species. A fourth species of thresher was revealed during the course of a 1995 allozyme analysis by Blaise Eitner. It is apparently found in the eastern Pacific off Baja California, making it 17 species. However, it's known from muscle samples from one specimen.
Thresher sharks have a short head and a cone-shaped nose. Their mouths are generally small. They have a long, scythe-like heterocercal tail.
They are slender, with small dorsal fins and large, recurved pectoral fins.
They mainly eat bluefish, juvenile tuna and mackerel. Crustaceans and seabirds are also eaten by them. They stun their prey by using their unique, elongated tail as a weapon.
The thresher shark is an animal that keeps to itself. It is known that thresher populations of the Indian Ocean are separated by depth and space according to sex.

Pseudophilautus mittermeieri
Mittermeier's shrub frog ("Pseudophilautus mittermeieri") is a frog. It lives in Sri Lanka. Scientists have seen it between 60 and 150 meters above sea level.
There are fewer of this frog than there were in the past. Scientists say that this is because human beings cut down forests to make towns and cities, to make farms and places for animals to eat grass, and to get wood to build with.
Scientists named this frog for Russell Mittermeier. He was President of Conservation International.
Central City (DC Comics)
Central City is a fictional city appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. It is the former home of Barry Allen, the second Flash. Its location has been variously stated to be in Ohio, Illinois, and Florida. During the Wally West era, it was shown to be in Missouri, across a river from Keystone City.
The city has also appeared in movies, television series, and video games.
Central City, located across the Missouri River from Keystone City, Kansas, was founded in the 19th century and became an important stop for cattle drives. It began to see tremendous growth after the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad, becoming the first major hub west of Chicago. A second period of growth occurred after World War I, and it has burgeoned to the present day.
In the 25th Century, the city became known as the Central Cityplex.
Before the "Crisis on Infinite Earths", Central and Keystone, collectively known as the "Gem Cities" were not twin cities. Rather, Central City only existed on Earth-One and Keystone City only existed on Earth-Two.
Some sources have shown Central City to be in Ohio instead of Missouri. "The Flash" #228 places it at roughly the same spot as Athens, Ohio.
The map in the Atlas of the DC Universe claims that Keystone and Central are across the Mississippi River from each other. The Mississippi does not border Kansas; the Missouri does.
The DCU version of Central City is not to be confused with the city by the same name seen in Will Eisner's The Spirit.
Kioisaka Incident
Sugimura Hiromasa (Sugimura Bun'ichi's older brother) and other samurais also expressed their desire to serve in the newly formed Imperial Japanese Army in response to the idea of conquering Korea. Furthermore, regarding the dispatch of troops to Taiwan as part of the expedition in 1874, Sugimura, Cho, and many radicals once again requested to serve in the military, and Sugimura (Hiroshi), Shimada, and later Asai wrote a petition opposing the rumor that Japanese troop dispatch to Taiwan had been canceled and a petition criticizing the handling of the Saga Rebellion. Sugimura and Shimada, who drafts the warrant, is listed as one of the names. However, these white papers did not have the expected effect, and Shimada and others decided to use force. In 1874, Shimada and Cho met in Tokyo and hit it off.
The weapons that Shimada and others brought with them at the time of Okubo's assassination was given by Cho in late April 1878 at the request of Shimada. The article lists the following five crimes as crimes of dictatorship.

Acamprosate
Acamprosate, marketed under the brand name Campral, is a medication used to help individuals with alcohol dependence maintain abstinence. Approved by regulatory authorities for this purpose, acamprosate is thought to act by stabilizing the balance between excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters in the brain, particularly gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and glutamate.
Developed in the late 1980s, acamprosate gained approval in several countries as an adjunct to psychosocial support in the treatment of alcohol dependence. Unlike some other medications for alcohol use disorder, acamprosate does not cause a disulfiram-like reaction with alcohol consumption.
The precise mechanism of acamprosate's action is not entirely understood, but it is believed to modulate the glutamatergic system, potentially reducing the hyperactivity associated with alcohol withdrawal. Clinical trials have demonstrated varying degrees of efficacy, with acamprosate showing effectiveness in supporting abstinence and preventing relapse.
Acamprosate may have side effects, including diarrhea, nausea, and itching. Its use is generally contraindicated in individuals with severe renal impairment.
Research continues to explore the optimal use and potential benefits of acamprosate in the broader context of alcohol use disorder treatment. Despite its limitations, acamprosate remains a valuable option for healthcare professionals working to address alcohol dependence in their patients.

Formby went on the music hall stage when his father died. He carried on his father's act. In 1924 he married Beryl Ingham. She was also in music hall and she became his manager. He started recording songs in 1926 and, from 1934, he made movies. In the movies he played gormless Lancastrian innocents who would beat a villain, and win the love of an attractive middle-class girl. His songs often had ambiguous sexual content which he sung with a toothy grin and air of innocence His song "When I'm Cleaning Windows" was banned by the BBC in 1936. The director general John Reith said "if the public wants to listen to Formby singing his disgusting little ditty, they'll have to be content to hear it in the cinemas, not over the nation's airwaves". He later sang it before the King and Queen at the Royal Variety Performance. It was unbanned.
During the Second World War he worked all over the world for the Entertainments National Service Association. In his first film of 1940, "Let George Do It!", In a dream he goes to a Nuremberg Rally and punches Hitler. It was very popular and was shown in Russia and the USA.
He recorded more than 200 songs. 1946 song ""With My Little Stick of Blackpool Rock"" was one of the most successful. It was also considered rude and a BBC manager in 1946 said "We have no record that 'With My Little Stick of Blackpool Rock' is banned. We do however know, and so does Formby, that certain lines in the lyric must not be broadcast".
Pannonia was a province in the Roman Empire. It was about today's Hungary.
The Roman Pannonia lasted from Augustus' times until the fifth century.
In the second century Pannonia flourished and received many Roman citizens, who developed a rich farm economy.
It was temporarily increased under emperor Constantine the Great up to the actual Romanian mountains. The border was the so called "Devil's Dike".
When Attila attacked the area was destroyed and depopulated.
After the fall of the western Roman Empire, in Pannonia, the latinized population developed the Pannonian Romance. That lasted until the tenth century.
Ali Sher Anchan
Other names for Ali Sengge Anchan are "Ali Rai, Raja Sher Ali Mir, Mir Ali, Sher Ali", and "Ali Zad". He introduced Polo in Gilgit, Chitral, and Ladakh and even sent musicians to learn music in the Mughal court. Ali Senge Anchan built the Skardu fort also known as Kharpocho Khar in Skardu, then the capital of the Makpon Kingdom.
Following are Ali Senge Anchans's political and Military achievements and his conquests.
Ali Senge Anchan had connections with the Mughal court. Anchan lost his royal father when he was a child. His uncle the King of Shigar took him and his mother to Shigar, possibly with the plan to harm him and take over the Skardu Kingdom. At 18, Anchan fled to Delhi with twelve loyal followers. In Delhi, Emperor Akbar noticed him for his strength, and he was given command of a Mughal army to reclaim his kingdom. He married a Mughal princess named Gul Khatoon. In 1586 A.D., when Akbar conquered Kashmir, Anchan was with him.
According to the tale, Ladakh's kingdom once stretched to Sermik in the west. During the 15th Makpon King Ghazi Mir's rule, Ladakhis were forced out of the Kharmang valley and the entire Purik district. Ali Senge Anchan occupied Kharbu fort and appointed a governor for the border area. Later, Ladakh's Raja, Jamyang Namgyal, attacked Purik. Anchan, along with other leaders, left through Marol, bypassed Leh, and conquered Ladakh around 1594 A.D. The Ladakh Raja, in the end, became a prisoner. To make peace, Ladakh ceded Ganokh and Gagra Nullah villages to Skardu and paid tribute to the Makpon Kings. This tribute was paid through the Monastery of Lama Yuru. Jamyang Namgyal's daughter was also married to Ali Senge Anchan.
Ali Sher Khan Anchan conquered many principalities in Kargil and introduced Balti culture and music to the region. Many Baltis and Purgis settled in Ladakh and Kargil during Anchan's reign.
Permaculture is a way of managing land and designing communities by learning from nature. It copies natural patterns to get the most benefits with the least waste and energy. It promotes natural way of farming instead of modern industrial methods. The term 'Permaculture' was created by Bill Mollison and David Holmgren in 1978.
Critics say that permaculture doesn't have a clear definition and lacks a scientific basis and does not address real-world issues.
Permaculture is guided by three foundational ethics:
Permaculture design copies natural patterns in ecosystems to get the most benefits with the least waste and energy. The way permaculture is used can change depending on the Earth's region, and there's not much scientific literature about it.
Permaculture uses zones to organize elements in a human environment based on how often they're used and the needs of plants or animals. The zones are numbered from 0 to 5.

Frigatebird
The Frigatebirds are a family of seabirds. In Latin, the family is called Fregatidae. There are five different species; all are classified in the genus Fregata. They occur in tropical and subtropical regions. The birds are adapted to a life at sea. The wingspan is between and .
Ground effect
The ground effect is the name given to the effects of being near the ground on Aircraft, especially ones that are heavier than the air around them, such as Helicopters and Airplanes.
In Airplanes, there is less drag in ground effect flight. Airplanes also create more lift at a lower angle of attack while near the ground.
Neptunism
It proposed that rocks formed from the crystallisation of minerals in the early Earth's oceans. That is why it is called neptunism, because Neptune was the old Roman God of the sea.
There are many many different types of rock formation. Sedimentary rock is formed by processes very similar to neptunism. Basically, it makes rock out of bits of earlier rock and organisms.
Quesabirria
The dish has origins in Tijuana, Mexico. It was originally made with goat meat. It got popularity in the United States through Instagram. It is also made with other meats, such as beef and chicken.
In Aeronautics, the angle of attack is the angle between an airfoil and the direction the air is flowing in relative to the wing. For small angles of attack, a higher angle creates more lift. The angle where the wing makes the most lift is called the critical angle of attack. If the angle goes above this point, the wing will stall.

Pannonian Romance
Pannonian Romance was an Indo-European language, pertaining to the Centum group in the neo-latin languages, with some Celtic roots and related to the old Illyrian. According to the linguist Roxana Curc, the main source of intelligence on this extinct language is the many toponyms in the area of Lake Balaton (located in actual central Hungary) and some anthroponyms, hydronims and etonyms that come from the "Keszthely culture".
Analysis of the Vulgar Latin spoken in Pannonia showed several phonetical developments:
As in other provinces, accusatives after the 1st century AD were regularly switched to nominatives as the subjects of verbs, ergo -as was often written instead of -ae, which is the correct plural inflection of first-declension feminine nouns. Many instances of this error are found on a perhaps 3rd century epitaph from Pannonia. It says ""hic quescunt duas matres duas filias... et aduenas II paruolas"" (Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum III 3551), which means "here lie two mothers, two daughters... and two young foreign girls".
The dative and genitive cases are evidently quite common in the inscriptions, and this ratio unmistakably indicates that Pannonia was where the dative-genitive fusion was most significant relative to the rest of the empire. Since the rate is 45% in Pannonia and 24% for the entire empire.
An examination of the Pannonian Latin texts as a whole reveals that the process of amalgamation has only begun in linguistic singular.
Accusative-ablative mergers account for 15% of case errors in Pannonian Latin.
Tammy (name)
Tammy (pronounced "TAM-ee") is a female given name. This name is often the short form of the names Thomasina, Tabitha or Tamara. The latter is a form of the Russian given name Tamar. The related "Thomasina" or "Thomasine" are female forms of the name Thomas (a Greek name).
The name became very popular because of a movie series in the 1950s and 1960s called "Tammy Tyree".
"Tammy" was very popular during the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s and first half of the 1980s.
Entertainments National Service Association
The Entertainments National Service Association (ENSA) was an organisation started in 1939 by Basil Dean and Leslie Henson to provide entertainment for the British armed forces during World War II. It later turned into Combined Services Entertainment which since 1982 operates as part of the Services Sound and Vision Corporation.
Many people who started in ENSA went on to careers in the entertainment industry after the war, including actors Terry-Thomas, Peter Sellers and Kenneth Connor.
It was spread thin over the vast area it had to cover. Thus many entertainments were not very good. The popular translation of the acronym ENSA was ""Every Night Something Awful"".

Bedford level experiment
The Bedford level experiment is the name for a series of observations, done on the Old Bedford River, in Cambridgeshiire. These observations were done to measure the curvature of the Earth. Samuel Rowbotham made the first observations, in 1839. He claimed that with these observations he could prove that the earth was flat. In 1870, Alfred Russel Wallace used the same observations but made small changes, to correct for some errors. Using these observations, he could prove that the Earth was a sphere.
This river was chosen, because from a certain point it runs in a straight line, for . This point is near the village of Welney.
This makes it an ideal location to directly measure the curvature of the Earth, as Rowbotham wrote in "Zetetic Astronomy":
Rowbotham did the first experiments at the site in the summer of 1838. He went into the river and used a telescope held above the water to watch a boat. The boat had a flag on its mast above the water. It slowly rowed away from him. He reported that he could see it all the time, for the full to Welney Bridge. He also said, that if the earth was curved, the top of the mast should have been about below his line of sight. He published this observation using the pseudonym "Parallax" in 1849. He wrote a book about these ideas, and called it "Earth Not a Globe"; the book was published in 1865.
Rowbotham repeated his experiments several times over the years, but his claims got little attention. In 1870, a supporter named John Hampden offered some money, to anyone that could show that the earth was flat, using Rowbotham's experiment. Alfred Russel Wallace, a naturalist, and qualified surveyor accepted the wager. Wallace was a surveyor. So with what he knew from his training, and his knowledge of physics, he avoided the errors that had been made before, and won the bet. The crucial steps were:
At first, Hampden did not accept this demnostration.The referee, John Henry Walsh, editor of "The Field" sports magazine, did, and Wallace got the money. Hampden then published a pamhlet and said that Wallace had cheated. He also sued Wallace, to get his money back. There were several court cases. In the end, Hampden was imprisoned for threatening to kill Wallace and for libel.
The same court ruled that the wager had been invalid because Hampden retracted the bet and required that Wallace return the money to Hampden. Wallace, who had been unaware of Rowbotham's earlier experiments, was criticized by his peers for "his 'injudicious' involvement in a bet to 'decide' the most fundamental and established of scientific facts".
In 1901, Henry Yule Oldham, a reader in geography at King's College, Cambridge, reproduced Wallace's results. He used three poles fixed at equal height above water level. When viewed through a theodolite, the middle pole was found to be about higher than the poles at each end. This version of the experiment was taught in schools in England until photographs of the Earth from space became available; it still remains in the syllabus for the Indian Certificate of Secondary Education for 2023.
Advocates of a flat Earth, however, were not deterred. On 11 May 1904 Lady Elizabeth Anne Blount hired a commercial photographer to use a telephoto-lens camera to take a picture from Welney of a large white sheet she had placed at Rowbotham's original position away. The bottom of the sheet was near the surface of the river. Blount had a lot of influence. She later was involved in the foundation of the Flat Earth Society. The photographer, Edgar Clifton from Dallmeyer's studio, put his camera above the water at Welney and was surprised to be able to obtain a picture of the target. He thought, it should have been invisible because of the low mounting point of the camera. Lady Blount published the pictures far and wide.
