Kahut

Kahut often spelled as Kahout or Kahoot, are an agricultural Jutt tribe found in Chakwal, Shahpur, Gujrat, Rawalpindi and Jhelum districts of Punjab and Hazara region of Pakistan. 

They gave their name to the Kahuta hills of Rawalpindi district and to the town of Kahuta.

History

Origin
Their  head-quarters were found in Salt Range and give its name to the Kahutani ilaqa of Chakwal tehsil.They were originally located in Arabia and belong from Chutar Tribe, the present tribal name being merely that of their common ancestor: 24 generations ago. about the year A. D. 1359 their ancestor Said Nawab Ali migrated to Delhi, in the reign of Firuz Shah Tughlaq: (Firoz Tughlaq, son of Muhammad Tughlaq, is no doubt meant: he reigned from 1351 to 1388 A. D.): 

The Kahut Quraish tribe can also be linked directly back to Arabian Quraish tribe of the Prophet Muhammad and his family.

Journey through India, settlement
On the way to Delhi they fought and conquered a pagan king of Sialkot, named Sain Pal, who was, they say, probably a Dogra prince. On reaching Delhi they paid their respects to the king who ordered them to hold the Dhanni and the Salt Range on his behalf: under the leadership of Muhammad Ali Kahut, the son of Said Nawab Ali, they accordingly retraced their steps to this district, and settled first at Gagnelpur, of which the ruined site is shown in Mauza Wariamal near the foot of the Salt Range : here they remained for some time, realising the revenue from the Janjuas of the hills and the Gujar graziers of the Dhanni, and remitting it to Delhi. The Mairs and Kassars had not then arrived in these parts, but came six or seven generations afterwards. The eastern Dhanni was then a lake, which on the coming of Babar was drained at his command, the Kahuts taking part in the work and colonising the land reclaimed. Chaudhri Sahnsar, 8th in descent from Kahut (the son of Nawab Ali), was their ancestor in the time of Babar. During the Mughal period (around 15th Century), the Kahut rose to prominence until their power was destroyed by the Sikhs in 19th Century. The southern part of Chakwal tehsil where Kahuts predominate is still known as the Kahutani, a reflexion of their past dominance. Sometime during the Sikh period, groups of Kahut immigrated to Sargodha and Mandi Bahauddin.

Extant settlements
The most important Kahut families are located in the village of Kariala, bhalla and mohra Qazi in Chakwal. Other Kahut villages include Bhalla, Bhawan, Bhuchal Kalan, Chakora, Dhok Tallian, Dullah, Hasola, Langah, Domali, Musa Kahoot, Kahut, Kassowal, Nikka Kahut, Tatral, Thirpal, Thoha Bahader, Janga, Sadwal, Waryamal and Warwal, Kotha Abdal, Mohara kor chisham. In Mandi Bahauddin District, they are found in villages in Union Council Ahla Haryah, and Bhikhi. While in Sargodha, their villages include Pindi Kootan near Bhera, and Kahut in the Sahiwal Tehsil.

Modern migration
Many Kahut Quraish families have now emigrated around the world such as Denmark, United Kingdom, Canada and United States.

Halftime (song)

"Halftime" is a song by American rapper Nasty Nas, who would change his name to Nas after the release of the song. The song was released as his debut single, the sole single from the Zebrahead soundtrack album and the lead single from his debut album Illmatic, on October 13, 1992. "Halftime" was produced by Large Professor and features samples of drums and vocals from "Schoolboy Crush" by Average White Band, horns from "Soul Traveling" by Gary Byrd, and the bassline from "Dead End" from the Japanese cast recording of the musical Hair. The song was the first song created for Illmatic, and was released circa one and a half years earlier than the album.

Background

Producer Large Professor had already produced the instrumental of the song when he came into the studio session. After hearing the instrumental, Rapper Busta Rhymes wanted to use it and tried writing to it but ultimately struggled with writer's block. Then in Nas' first own studio session he "had his weed ready, he had the crew coming through, his books [of rhymes], the fresh gear, sittin' back with a freshly rolled, and another one being rolled, like, ‘Yo, play the beat... Nah yo, play the other beat.'" "Halftime" was the first song produced for Illmatic.

Content
"Halftime" features an up-tempo beat led by percussion and trumpets over which Nas rhymes. Memorable lines include "You couldn't catch me in the streets without a ton of reefer/That's like Malcolm X, catchin' the Jungle Fever" and "I'm as ill as a convict who kills for phone time." Nas also uses this song to give a "shout-outs" to Willie "Ill Will" Graham, Nas' childhood neighbor and best friend, who was shot dead in 1992, and the Queensbridge Crew, a reference to the Queensbridge housing projects in Queens, NY, USA. He also reveals he's a fan of Marcus Garvey, the Jackson 5 and Mr. Magic.

Significance
The inclusion of "Halftime" to the Zebrahead soundtrack by MC Serch led to Nas's breakthrough as a rapper, as a record deal with Columbia Records and the release of his debut album, Illmatic (1994), followed. According to Vibe magazine, the song "created a niche that only Illmatic could fill".

Tasmanian tree frog

The Tasmanian tree frog (Litoria burrowsae), also known as king tree frog, is a species of tree frog that is found on the west coast of Tasmania, Australia. It was first found by Myrtle Burrows in 1941, at Cradle Mountain and handed over to Oswald Scott, who is attributed with the discovery.

Description
This is a moderate-sized tree frog, up to about 60 mm in length. It can be light green or dark brown on the dorsal surface. The brown form normally has some light brown patches and green flecks, while the green form often has light or dark brown patches. A thin stripe runs from the nostril down the side; this line often expands and becomes marbled along the flanks. The belly is pinkish-white and the thighs are light brown.

Ecology and behaviour
This frog is associated with dams, ponds, and roadside ditches in rainforest, sedgeland, alpine country, and moorland in the west and south of Tasmania. It is often found at higher altitudes. The Tasmanian tree frog often mates after heavy rain, or in the autumn, winter or spring.
Males make a goose-like call from vegetation around a water body or while floating in the water during autumn, winter & spring, often after rain.
In more coastal regions the males begin calling as early as May with egg-masses having been observed late in May. This is one of three species of frogs, along with the Tasmanian froglet and the moss froglet, endemic to Tasmania.

Diet
The Tasmanian tree frog eats various grasses and occasionally insects. Despite sightings being common, the species' diet is poorly documented; as a result, not much is known about it.

Breeding
Breeding occurs mainly in autumn & winter at lower altitudes and spring and perhaps summer at high altitudes.  The species may breed opportunistically at any time of the year after heavy rain. From 70–200 eggs are laid in loose or more compact clusters attached to submerged vegetation. Tadpoles occur in stationary or slowly flowing water. The larval stage can last for 7–8 months, much less at low altitudes and with warmer environmental conditions.

The Glass Intact

The Glass Intact is the second album by the Champaign, Illinois band Sarge.  It was released in 1998 on Mud Records.

The album was somewhat of a breakout hit, getting a feature-length review at Salon.com and the Village Voice, and causing the band to become a 1998 "Hot Band" in Rolling Stone as well as being one of Spin Magazine'''s "98 for '98."

Reception

Jason Ankeny of AllMusic declared the album to be "a kind of apotheosis of '90s-era girl-punk", finding the album combined the "emotional intensity of Sleater-Kinney, the melodic aggression of Team Dresch, and the sheer exuberance of Cub, yet their best trick of all is that they sound like an absolute original." Ankeny noted that Elizabeth Elmore "a gifted composer, an acute lyricist, and a nakedly honest vocalist", concluding that the album "is at heart a rock & roll album in the classic sense: cathartic, impassioned, and vividly alive." Stephanie Zacharek of Spin also noted the albums debt to riot grrl music with its "explosive emotional intensity", finding the album "nervy, hopelessly seductive and hell-bent for trouble and heartache, The Glass Intact'' peers at the world through a very dark lens - but the sun, with its menace and warmth is never far from view.

WWF Super WrestleMania

WWF Super WrestleMania is a multiplatform wrestling video game based on the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), released in 1992 for the  Super Nintendo Entertainment System and the Mega Drive/Genesis.

Two other 16-bit WWF games, WWF Royal Rumble and WWF Raw, were released which retained the "tug-of-war" style grappling system, where moves are performed by locking up and out-tapping the other player or the computer to execute a move.

Gameplay
All wrestlers share the same set of standard professional wrestling moves like scoop slams, suplexes, dropkicks, clotheslines, hip tosses, and elbow drops. The Genesis version also has signature moves for each wrestler which can be performed at any time in the match. Gameplay modes consist of one-on-one, tag team, and four-on-four Survivor Series elimination matches. The Genesis version also contains a WWF Championship mode where the player selects one wrestler and must defeat the rest in a series of one-on-one matches to be crowned WWF Champion.

While the Super NES version does not contain signature moves, its roster is a bit larger, with ten wrestlers compared to eight in the Genesis version. The only wrestlers shared between versions are Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage and Ted DiBiase. Wrestlers exclusive to the Super NES version are Jake Roberts, The Undertaker, Sid Justice, The Legion of Doom and The Natural Disasters. Wrestlers exclusive to the Genesis version are The Ultimate Warrior, Papa Shango, Irwin R. Schyster, The British Bulldog,  and Shawn Michaels.

Reception

The game has received "mixed to positive" reviews from critics. Germany's Aktueller Software Markt magazine awarded a "satisfactory" rating to the Mega Drive/Genesis version and a "good" rating to the SNES version. Computer and Video Games magazine called it "the best two-player game anywhere" and particularly praised its multiplayer capabilities. The Game Players Nintendo Guide described it as "a solid wrestling game that could have been one of the best ever if not for some substantial drawbacks. You'll have the most fun playing against a friend; re-creating those famous WWF rivalries definitely makes you anxious to fight just one more match". GameFan had a mostly positive opinion of the Genesis version, praising the gameplay, controls and graphics. The French Joystick magazine called it the best simulation of this sport on both consoles. Mean Machines Sega called it "a fun wrestle game (the best on the Megadrive so far) which could have been supported with a bit more front end". GamePro gave the Sega Genesis version a 13.5 out of 20, while they gave the Super Nintendo Entertainment System version a 17 out of 25.

The Deathbird

"The Deathbird" is a novelette by American writer Harlan Ellison. It won the 1974 Hugo Award for Best Novelette and Locus Award for Best Short Story.

It has been included in the author's short story collection Deathbird Stories.

Plot
The story is formatted as a test of sorts, worth 3/4 of some final grade. The action is interrupted at points with test questions, some of which do not make sense. Millions of years ago, "The Mad One", also known as Ialdabaoth or God, took over the earth in a sort of cosmic lawsuit. The original creators left behind one last member of their race, Dira, to tell humans the truth about their god, but the dominant traditions throughout the ages denounce Dira as evil. Now, the world is coming to an end and Nathan Stack, the latest incarnation of a long line of humans going back to Lilith’s husband, is revived by Snake (aka Dira) after spending 250 thousand years in an underground crypt to make the journey to the mountain where God lives. He is the only human capable of confronting him and putting the Earth out of its misery through the summoning of what is referred to as the Deathbird.
The story also contains a few side plots, presumably about Nathan Stack or previous reincarnations of him. These stories tell of people that have had to make difficult decisions, allowing loved ones to die. In one such story, his mother is partially paralyzed and suffering from cancer which will eventually, slowly and painfully, travel to her heart. She eventually convinces him to inject her with a lethal substance in a hypodermic needle, killing her and ending her pain. This situation is repeated at the end of the story, where Nathan Stack must "use the needle" to summon the Deathbird and end the pain of the planet.

John Dawson Read

John Dawson Read is an English singer-songwriter.

Born in Wokingham, Berkshire, England, Read first came to prominence in 1975 with his debut album A Friend of Mine Is Going Blind, released on Chrysalis Records. The album's title song was written by Read for a friend of his who suffered from muscular dystrophy. Read credits his friend with having been a writing inspiration for years, as well as being responsible for his debut album, having sent Read's songs to publishers.

Read's second album, Read On, was released in 1976, again on Chrysalis. After this release Read seemed to disappear from the music business. Fans had little success finding information on Read until singer-songwriter Michael Johnson put an MP3 of "A Friend of Mine Is Going Blind" on his website. Many Read fans began communicating through the site, and this was one factor which encouraged Read to re-enter the music world after spending most of the time between 1976 and 2005 in a business partnership in marketing.

Read credits his discovery of Pristine Audio as being "the second most influential factor in ‘getting back into it.’" Andrew Rose of Pristine Audio remastered A Friend of Mine Is Going Blind and Read On.

In 2005, Read released his third CD after a nearly 30-year absence from the music world. This CD, entitled Now...Where Were We? begins with "Days of Sweet Remembrance (reprise)" from the album Read On.

Anterior funiculus

In the spinal cord, the most lateral of the bundles of the ventral nerve roots is generally taken as a dividing line that separates the antero-lateral region into two parts: an anterior funiculus (or anterior column), between the anterior median fissure and the most lateral of the ventral nerve roots; and a lateral funiculus, between the exit of these roots and the posterolateral sulcus.

Central nervous system
Lateral funiculus

The most lateral of the bundles of the anterior nerve roots is generally taken as a dividing line that separates the anterolateral system into two parts. These are the anterior funiculus, between the anterior median fissure and the most lateral of the anterior nerve roots, and the lateral funiculus (or lateral column) between the exit of these roots and the posterolateral sulcus.

The lateral funiculus transmits the contralateral corticospinal and spinothalamic tracts.  A lateral cutting of the spinal cord results in the transection of both ipsilateral posterior column and lateral funiculus and this produces Brown-Séquard syndrome.

Otay River

The Otay River () is a river in southern San Diego County, California. The  river begins at San Miguel Mountain, flows through the Upper and Lower Otay Reservoirs, and continues on between the southern part of the Chula Vista and the Otay Mesa West district of San Diego, to its river mouth on San Diego Bay.

River
The river has a  watershed. To its north is the watershed of Sweetwater River, and to its south is the watershed of Tijuana River. Between Interstate 5 and Interstate 805 is Otay Valley Regional Park. , there is a plan to restore part of its pre-Mexican era estuary on lands utilized by the South Bay Salt Works.

Otay Reservoirs
Savage Dam, completed in 1921, forms the  Lower Otay Reservoir, which is used to supply drinking water to parts of southern San Diego County. The reservoir is also the terminus for Pipeline 3 of the Second San Diego Aqueduct, which delivers water from the Colorado River via the Colorado River Aqueduct. Its predecessor, the Lower Otay Dam was a "rockhill type", which was completed in 1897; it failed in 1916 following heavy rains.

The Upper Otay Reservoir is formed by Upper Otay Dam, built in 1901. The reservoir was established as a hatchery for the introduction of Florida-strain largemouth bass in 1959. The reservoir was chemically treated first, which killed all of the native fish. In 1996, the reservoir was opened to fishing, but all fish caught must be released.

Since the river is used as a municipal water supply, there is no human contact allowed at either of the Otay Reservoirs.

Early testing of manned gliders by noted aviator John J. Montgomery occurred in the region in the late 19th century.

Douglas Pharmaceuticals

Douglas Pharmaceuticals Ltd is a New Zealand-based manufacturer of pharmaceutical products. Founded in 1967 by West Auckland chemist Graeme Douglas, the company started out distributing prescription medicines, before manufacturing and later successfully researching and developing its own products for export.

History 
Douglas Pharmaceuticals began when founder, Graeme Douglas, created a cough syrup called Kofsin, while working as a chemist in Te Atatū, West Auckland. As demand for the cough syrup grew, the company contracted manufacturing chemists to maintain enough supply. Afterwards, the company began importing niche pharmaceuticals and packaging them at Douglas's chemist shop before distributing them to other pharmacists. In the early 1970s, Douglas's chemist shop had over $2 million in revenue when he sold it to focus on the pharmaceutical business.

By the late 80s, Douglas Pharmaceuticals was selling over 40 products and had a revenue of $25 million, which increased in ten years to more than $70 million.

In 2012, Sir Graeme's eldest son Jeff began handling much of the day-to-day running of the company. In 2014, Graeme Douglas stepped down from the company's day-to-day business, and his son Jeff Douglas became managing director of the company.

As of 2016, the company employed more than 450 people and manufactured products sold in 35 countries.

Founder Sir Graeme Douglas died on 1 September 2016.

Lundevatn

Lundevatn, or Lundevatnet, is a lake on the borders between the municipalities of Lund (in Rogaland county) and Flekkefjord (in Agder county) in Norway. The village of Moi lies at the northern end of the lake and the smaller village of Åna-Sira lies just south of the southern end of the lake. The lake has a small dam at the southern end and it is used for the nearby Åna-Sira Power Station.
 
The  lake is about  long.  It is the ninth-deepest lake in Norway and extends about  below sea level and since it sits at an elevation of , the maximum depth of the lake is . This overdeepening, as well as its long and narrow shape, are characteristics of glacially-formed lakes.

Anterior grey column

The anterior grey column (also called the anterior cornu, anterior horn of spinal cord, motor horn or ventral horn) is the front column of grey matter in the spinal cord. It is one of the three grey columns. The anterior grey column contains motor neurons that affect the skeletal muscles while the posterior grey column receives information regarding touch and sensation. The anterior grey column is the column where the cell bodies of alpha motor neurons are located.

Structure

The anterior grey column, directed forward, is broad and of a rounded or quadrangular shape. Its posterior part is termed the base, and its anterior part the head, but these are not differentiated from each other by any well-defined constriction. It is separated from the surface of the medulla spinalis by a layer of white substance which is traversed by the bundles of the anterior nerve roots. In the thoracic region, the postero-lateral part of the anterior column projects laterally as a triangular field, which is named the lateral grey column.

Clinical significance
It is these cells that are affected in the following diseases, – amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy, Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease, progressive muscular atrophy, all spinal muscular atrophies, poliomyelitis, and West Nile virus.

Pharmacological interaction
The anterior grey column is the target for some spasmolytic medications. Norepinephrine release here, (as induced by cyclobenzaprine) reduces spasms by innervation (reducing nerve activity) of alpha motor neurons via interaction with gamma fibers.

Radio Bemba Sound System

Radio Bemba Sound System is a live album by Manu Chao that was released in 2002. It is the accompanying CD to the performer's live DVD Babylonia en Guagua, filmed over two nights (4–5 September) in 2001 during the tour for Proxima Estacion: Esperanza. Many of the songs found on Radio Bemba Sound System, such as "Machine Gun", "Peligro","Mala Vida","King Kong Five" and "The Monkey", are songs originally recorded by Manu Chao's previous band, Mano Negra.  However the arrangements performed with Radio Bemba Sound System are more reggae-, ska-, and rock-oriented. The album is sequenced and edited in such a way that there is very little audience noise and cheering between the tracks, thus giving the impression of an all-night happy party - which calms down in the penultimate track ("Minha Galera") only to explode again in the last one ("Promiscuity"); the cheering at the end of "Promiscuity" is cut short by a very early fade.

Battleship (1993 video game)

Battleship is a 1993 Nintendo Entertainment System and Game Gear video game based on the board game of the same name.

Summary
The object is to sink the opponent's entire fleet without them sinking the player's fleet first. In this updated version, both the player and the computer get extra firepower from military aircraft and support weapons. There are even scenarios that start a player off in a pre-played game that he must resume (and overcome a bleak scenario). This video game was mentioned in an old issue of Nintendo Power. There also have been other versions of Battleship, including Battleships for Amiga, Atari ST, Commodore 64 and ZX Spectrum, Battleship for CD-i, Battleship for Game Boy and Game Boy Color, and others for PC and mobile phones. There was a sequel on the Super NES and Sega Genesis,  Super Battleship.

Gameplay

Cannons are the most notable weapons of combatant ships. The user can attack an enemy vessel by aiming the sight and pushing the button.

Torpedoes are another type of ammunition. They are explosive and powerful. However, they are slower than the cannons.

Depth Charges are weapons used against submarines and underwater mines. The user must first adjust at what depth the charges will detonate before launching them.

Missiles are the most powerful among the weapons. Though a ship could only have up to two of them, they can sink a ship of any size in only one blow.

All the weapons (except from the one which shoots one square) can be only used one time.

Levels

The game has eight levels with five battles each. So, the player must win 40 battles to clear the game. After winning a battle, a password will be provided. New weapons are added each level.

Ships
Submarine, Permit-class (1 square)
Frigate, Knox-class (2 squares)
Destroyer, Coontz-class (3 squares)
Cruiser, Albany-class (4 squares)
Battleship, Iowa-class (5 squares)
Carrier, Nimitz-class (4x2 squares)
