El Tocuyo

El Tocuyo is a fertile valley and city in west-central Venezuela at  elevation. It is located in south-central Lara State about 60 km southwest of Barquisimeto.  The town of El Tocuyo was founded by Juan de Carvajal in 1545 on the banks of the Tocuyo River and it was the administrative capital of Venezuela Province from 1546 to 1548.  Its original name was Nuestra Señora de la Pura y Limpia Concepción del Tocuyo.  El Tocuyo is now just the municipal seat of Morán. Its population is 41,327 (2001).

The surrounding area has good soil and an ideal climate for agriculture, dry and warm with plenty of water available from the Tocuyo River.  The area has been occupied since prehistoric times. When the Spanish arrived they found the Gayones Indians, who inhabited this valley, sowing corn and other agricultural products as cotton and yucca. After the Spanish came, sugar cane was, for centuries, the biggest crop; but since 1980 vegetables such as tomatoes, onions, chiles, and potatoes are taking its place.

Vaijayanti

The Vaijayanti () is a mythological garland or elemental necklace, primarily associated with Vishnu. Employed in its worship as a garland, this object is also called the Vaijayantimala, or the Vanamala.

In Sri Vaishnava tradition, the poet-saint Thondaradippodi Alvar is regarded to be a manifestation of the Vanamala.

Literature 
Vaijayanti finds a mention in Vishnu Sahasranama, a stotram dedicated to Vishnu in the Mahabharata, as vanamali (forest flowers). 

The garland of victory is mentioned in the Mahabharata, as made of never-wilting lotuses. 

In the Skanda Purana, Varuna presents Lakshmi with the garland as a wedding gift.

According to the Vishnu Purana, the garland prominently displays five precious gemstones: emerald, sapphire, ruby, pearl, and diamond. These correspond with the five classic elements commonly named earth, water, fire, air, and ether respectively. 

In the Shiva Purana, Vishnu offers his garland to his son-in-law Kartikeya, before his battle with the asura Taraka.

The Garuda Purana includes a prayer known as the Vishnu Panjaram, which includes the following verse: "Taking up Vaijayanti and Srivatsa, the ornament of thy throat do thou protect me in the north-west, O god, O Hayagriva. I bow unto thee".

ECHL All-Star Game

The ECHL All-Star Game is an exhibition ice hockey game that traditionally marks the midway point of the ECHL's regular season, with many of the league's star players playing against each other. The starting lineup for the teams, including the starting goaltender, is voted on by the coaches, players, and other league representatives.  The coaches for the All-Star Game teams are typically the head coaches of the teams that, at the time of the All-Star Game roster announcements, are leading their respective conferences in point percentage (i.e. fraction of points obtained out of total possible points).  The All-Star Game festivities also includes an ECHL All-Star Skills Competition, a competition showing the various talents of the all-stars.

In August 2011, the ECHL Board of Governors announced its intent not to hold an All-Star Game for the 2011–12 season, citing a desire to explore other options in preparation for celebrating the league's 25th anniversary during the 2012–13 season. This marked the first season since the All-Star Game's inception in 1993 that one was not held. Since then, the ECHL also did not schedule an All-Star game in 2014 and 2016.

As of 2018, the ECHL has adopted a four-team, 3-on-3 player format and began calling the event the All-Star Classic. In 2020, the All-Star Game added players from the Professional Women's Hockey Player Association with Dani Cameranesi, Kali Flanagan, Gigi Marvin, and Annie Pankowski each being assigned to one of the four teams.

Q Television Network

Q Television Network was a shortlived American cable television channel which aired programming targeted to the lesbian, gay, and bisexual  audiences. Founded by Frank Olsen, and eventually owned by Triangle Multimedia, the cable channel aired a mix of film, documentary and music programming, along with a number of original live talk show, information and news programs.

History
The channel's establishment was announced in early 2004, and began advertising in August. Its studios were based in Palm Springs, California.

It launched in September on selected cable services in major metropolitan markets, expanding in 2005 around the same time as the launch of Logo TV. Despite being based in Palm Springs, however, the city's mayor Ron Oden had to actively lobby to get the channel added to the local cable lineup.

Personalities associated with QTN programming included Jack E. Jett, Jackie Enx, Rob Williams, Elizabeth Melendez, Nick Oram, Steve Kmetko, Josh Fountain, Honey Labrador, Joe Bechely, Reichen Lehmkuhl and Chrisanne Eastwood.

In 2005, Q became available in Australia via SelecTV.

In February 2006, following a missed payroll run, the channel laid off much of its staff and shuttered its production facility in Burbank. It rehired a skeleton staff on a part-time basis later in the month, but Olsen was pushed out as CEO on March 7 and replaced by Taiwanese businessman Lloyd Fan. By May, Fan announced that the channel was shutting down, and the company filed for bankruptcy on May 25. 

Some of the production staff and crew reunited under the direction of Queer Edge associate producer Sean Carnage on March 6, 2006, to produce the music documentary 40 Bands 80 Minutes!.

Savannah Dragway

Savannah Dragway was an eighth-mile  dragstrip used by the NHRA located near in Savannah, Georgia. The track opened as a quarter-mile  facility in 1968, but safety concerns and rising insurance costs caused it to convert to the smaller distance in the mid-1980s. They were forced to close down at the end of 2005, this was because a neighbour filed many noise complaints and also because their lease expired.

An eighth-mile track called "Savannah River Dragway" opened in 2006 in Screven County. It is further from Savannah,  northwest of the old Savannah Dragway location.

Aamar FM

Aamar FM (literally meaning My FM) was an FM radio channel in Kolkata, India. It was the only private radio station whose on-air presentation language was Bengali. This station had started its broadcasting in 2003 and had stopped suddenly on 23 January 2020 without any early announcement.

Aamar 106.2 FM described itself as "The Radio Station Built for Kolkata by Kolkatans". The tagline was "Kolkata's Best Music" and "Kolkatar Gaan, Kolkatar Pran", which means "The Song of Kolkata and the Life of Kolkata".

History

This channel had done a lot to uplift young singers and had worked a lot to make some modern Bengali songs popular, especially the Bengali Bands. This was a very popular channel, among the Bengalees who lived in Kolkata. This channel only broadcast old and modern Bengali songs along with old Hindi Songs, which made it popular among older people, as well as the new generation of younger people in Kolkata. This channel had no online broadcasting, only offline broadcasting was available.

Closure
The reason for the closure of this radio station, as stated by the authority, refers to the economical problem, as the employees did not receive a salary from October 2019, though, they continued their jobs without salary, to save the station. But, without any notice, the authority locked the door on 23 January 2020.

Dabajuro

Dabajuro is a city and municipality in southwestern Falcón State, Venezuela with a population of 25,469 (c. 2005).

History
While a small agricultural village existed on the site, it was really in 1914 with the arrival of the oil companies in the Buchivacoa District that Dabajuro became a town.  World War I drove a need for oil, and while a number of companies prospected for oil in the area, it was Standard Oil who developed the resource.  However, by 1932 with the worldwide depression, Standard Oil was gone, and the local economy had collapsed.  It was only with the renewed need for oil in World War II that the oil companies returned. However, by 1960 the oil fields of Lake Maracaibo had lured the oil companies away, and Dabajuro was again economically abandoned.  It was only gradually after the completion of the Falcón-Zulia Highway from Maracaibo to Coro, that the city began to grow again on a more stable basis.

Geography

Fauna, flora and vegetation 
The municipality of Dabajuro lies in the Catatumbo Moist Forests ecoregion, and the major natural habitat type is tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests. The area of the municipality has seen a historical transformation from remote woodlands (predominant in 81.5% of the area) to populated rangelands (predominant in 63.0% of the area) between 1700 and 2000.
    
Common birds include Black-crested Antshrike (Sakesphorus canadensis), Rufous-browed Peppershrike (Cyclarhis gujanensis), Straight-billed Woodcreeper (Xiphorhynchus picus), White-whiskered Spinetail (Synallaxis candei), Trinidad Euphonia (Euphonia trinitatis), Scrub Greenlet (Hylophilus flavipes).

Climate 
Minimum monthly temperature in the Dabajuro municipality lies between 10.6 and 22.4 °C, while maximum temperature is between 21.7 and 31.1 °C. Total annual precipitation fluctuates between 802 and 1300 mm. Most rain falls between September and November, while the driest quarter comprises January to March.

Mark 10 nuclear bomb

The Mark 10 nuclear bomb was a proposed American nuclear bomb based on the earlier Mark 8 nuclear bomb design.  The Mark 10, like the Mark 8, is a Gun-type nuclear weapon, which rapidly assembles several critical masses of fissile nuclear material by firing a fissile projectile or "bullet" over a fissile "target", using a system which closely resembles a medium-sized cannon barrel and propellant.

The Mark 10 was intended to be a general purpose airburst nuclear weapon, unlike the Mark 8 which was intended to penetrate into the ground as a Nuclear bunker buster. It was nicknamed the "Airburst Elsie"; the Mark 8 had been nicknamed the LC or Light Casing bomb, which was then expanded to "Elsie." The bomb was  in diameter and weighed .  It had a design yield of 12 to 15 kilotons.

The Mark 10 design was cancelled in 1952, replaced by the implosion-type Mark 12 which was lighter and used considerably less fissile material.

Mordacia praecox

Mordacia praecox, the Australian brook lamprey or nonparasitic lamprey, is a freshwater species of southern topeyed lamprey that occurs in south-eastern Australia. It has a thin eel-like body around 12 to 15 cm long, with two low dorsal fins on the back half. The skin is dark blue above and gray below.  Its eyes are small, and located on the top of its head. Unlike M. mordax, M. praecox's eyes appear to have the potential for dichromatic vision (despite being similarly adapted for low-light environments).

M. praecox is known only from the Moruya and Tuross Rivers in southern New South Wales. Unlike most other species of lampreys, it spends its entire life in fresh water. The ammocoetes (lamprey larvae) take around three years to reach maturity. Ammocoetes and juvenile adults are indistinguishable from those of M. mordax, which also occurs within its distribution, but the adults are easily distinguished by their size and colouration.

Saranggola (international title: The Kite) is a 1999 Filipino drama film directed by Gil Portes. It stars Ricky Davao, Lester Llansang and Jennifer Sevilla. It is a morality tale, showing murder and corruption through the eyes of a child.

Plot
Though widowed, ex-cop, Homer, (Ricky Davao) is a kindly father to his ten-year-old son, Rex (Lester Llansang). He is considered to be something of a bully in the poor Manila neighborhood where he lives. After mistaking a child retrieving a snarled kite for a burglar, Homer kills the boy and then hurriedly tries to cover up his error. Unbeknownst to his dad, Rex witnessed the event, too. As the two separately wrestle with their consciences, the neighbors find out and chaos soon ensues.

Reception

He praises director Gil Portes for focusing on how the crime affects the relationship of the father and son, in the form of Jan Svěrák's Kolya. Though he considers the film's premise as encouraging, he criticizes the film's pacing.

Jo Gjende

Jo Gjende (1794 – 27 February 1884) was a Norwegian outdoorsman and freethinker. He is believed to have been the model for Henrik Ibsen's Peer Gynt.

He was born in Vågå, the son of Tjøstolv Olsson Kleppe of Sygaard (a well-known rabble-rouser, also called "Galin-Tjøstolv", who died in 1797) and Marit Pedersdotter (died 1803) from Horgje in Heidal. He had four siblings. He lived during the period 1803–18 with his maternal aunt on Heringstad farm in Heidal and later took over the farm. 

He was well known for reindeer hunting and sharpshooting in the Jotunheimen mountains and built many cabins or huts at Lake Gjende. He moved there in 1842.  In 1850 he bought the mountain farm Brurusten in Murudal from Jakob Kleiven.

He took the name John Gjendin, and shortened it to Jo Gjende in his later days. 

He was publicly skeptical about established Christianity. Occupied by natural philosophy, he participated frequently in discussions with the local minister. As a result, he was recognized as a freethinker. 
 

He died on the Brurusten farm in Murudal, and was buried in Vågå churchyard. On his grave is a small soapstone monument, which shows a wild reindeer herd in flight, after a painting by Gerhard Munthe.
