Erdenet Mining Corporation
Erdenet Mining Corporation (Эрдэнэт үйлдвэр) - mining corporation in Erdenet, Mongolie.
The ceety wis biggit in 1974 tae exploit Asia's lairgest deposit o copper ore an haes the fowert lairgest copper mine in the warld. The "Erdenet Mining Corporation" is a joint Mongolian-Roushie ventur, an accounts for a majority o Mongolie's hard currency income. Erdenet mines 22.23 million tons o ore per year, producin 126,700 tons o copper an 1954 tons o molybdenum. The mine accounts for 13.5% o Mongolie's GDP an 7% o tax revenue. Aboot 8.000 fowk are employed in the mine.
History
The ceety Erdenet an mill war biggit bi the Soviet technology wi the help o Soviet specialists. The discovery o copper ore Erdenetiyn-ovoo haes its ain history. Accordin tae legend, this place earlier in the Cheenese miners extracted copper, but during a storm, thay war struck bi lightning. Syne then, the moontain-Erdenetiyn ovoo war considered sacred, thay performed various rituals, tae the moontain tae climb even forbidden tae weemen.
Geological field studies Erdenetiyn ovoo began in the late 50s o the twentieth century. In the years 1958-59 during the geological survey unner the guidance o geologists an Batezatu Petrovich in Bulgan aimag Selenginskogo an geologists for the first time examined Erdenetiyn-ovoo, but if this object haes been rated as haein no practical value.
In the early 60's Mongolian naitional geological organization began tae actively cooperate wi the geological institutions o the European socialist countries, includin Czechoslovakia. The first joint Czech-Mongolian Geological Expedeetion wis established in Mongolie in 1962. The activity began tae carry oot this mission in Bulgan aimag Khubsugul an, in parteecular on the subject Erdenetiyn-ovoo.
At this time, the expedeetion worked doctor, professor o geological faculty o the Prague State Varsity M.Kuzhvart, heid o the Mongol-Czechoslovak geological expedeetion in Mongolie M.Krauter engineer-geologist an heid o the geological department o the Central Geological Survey o the Council o Ministers o the MPR Dugersuren doctor. Then thay agreed tae stairt geological investigations at the site in 1964.
In 1963, Erdenetiyn ovoo within ane month o wirk geological inspection team led bi Soviet geologists Agamolyana an Ushakov. Then thay made the visual geological cairt o 1:25000 scale o the object, an passed several pits an trenches. As a result o thair wirk war estimatit probable reserves o copper ore in the amount o 150 million tons.
Azoyú
Azoyú is a ceety an seat o the municipality o Azoyú, in the state o Guerrero, sooth-wastren Mexico.
Erdenet Mining Corporation
History
In the years 1964-68 a joint Mongolian-Czechoslovak Geological Pairty held at the field-Erdenetiyn ovoo geological prospecting an prospect evaluation includin mid-an lairge-scale geological an geochemical surveying, an mining an drilling operations. As a result o these studies hae estimatit reserves o copper-molybdenum ores in the amount o 612 million tons on C2 category.
Efter completion o the joint Mongolian-Czechoslovak exploration pairty in this field haes remained Mongolian exploration wirk unner the direction o the pairty chief an chief engineer Tumenbayara geologist G.Sanduyzhava. This pairty is conducted preliminary exploration o the field, continued tae conduct mining an drilling operations, an technological studies o copper-molybdenum ores. As a result, reserves war calculated copper ores in the amount o 670 million tons o C1 + C2.
Then geological reconnaissance Bulgan aimag group headed bi Soviet geologists E.I.Martovitskim, V.S.Kalininym an Mongolian geologist Tumenbayarom spent here a deeper intelligence wirk necessary for the operation o the field within 20 month. Bi the hairst o 1972 the size o the deposit-Erdenetiyn ovoo thay estimatit in 2000, lenth, width 500-1500, depth o 400 meters.

Pontiac Grand Ville
The Pontiac Grand Ville wis the tap-trim model in the diveesion's full-sized line frae 1971 tae 1975. It displaced the Pontiac Bonneville which haed served as Pontiac's flagship syne 1957.
The Bonneville itsel wis no discontinued durin this period, but wis demotit in status, in effect replacin the discontinued Pontiac Executive. The Grand Ville an Bonneville shared a nummer o trim an design elements that distinguisht them frae the Catalina, an wur in fact haurd tae tell apairt. It seems unlikely that maist buyers iver fully grasped the difference.
In addition tae mair luxurious interior trimmins, the Grand Ville uised the mair formal rooflines o the Oldsmobile 98, Buick Electra an Cadillac DeVille, the premium models o those diveesions. Thare wis uisually some distinctive chrome up front an taillicht trim at rear tae set it apairt. For 1974 anerlie, the Grand Ville haed its awn pairkin lichts, which wrapped aroond the corner o the front fender. The caur wis aften seen wi deluxe appearance options, sic as sport wheels an vinyl tops. Rear fender skirts wur featurt on the 1973 tae 1975 models.
Standard equipment on Grand Ville models included a 455 cubic-inch V8 ingine (1971-74 models, 400 cubic-inch V8 standard an 455 optional for 1975), Turbo Hydra-Matic transmission, power steerin an pouer front disc brakes. Popular options included air conditioning, power windaes an driver's seat, tilt steering wheel, cruise control, AM/FM stereo wi tape deck an muckle mair. Ane o the rarest options available on Grand Villes an ither full-sized Pontiacs durin this period wis the adjustable brake an accelerator pedals affered frae 1974 tae 1976.
Grand Ville enjoyed moderate success frae 1971 tae 1973. Housomeivver, the Arab Oil Embargo o late 1973 an early 1974 led tae petrol shortages, lang lines at fillin stations, an skyrocketin pump prices. Thir factors wad shairply cut intae full-sized caur sales in 1974 as Americans wur shunnin big gas guzzlers in favor o smawer mair fuel-efficient caurs. For 1975, the Grand Ville became the Grand Ville Brougham an includit mair staundart equipment than in previous years, sic as pouer windaes an a carpetit trunk. This wad be the final year for the Grand Ville series, which an aa includit Pontiac's last convertible till 1983. For 1976, the Grand Ville nameplate wis dropped an the lineup wis renamed Bonneville Brougham, returnin that nameplate back tae its umwhile flagship status.
Grand Ville convertibles wur rare in the years frae 1971 tae 1975, niver toppin 5,000 per year durin the model run. Frae 1973 tae 1975 the Grand Ville wis Pontiac's anerlie full-size convertible afferin, 1971 an 1972 full-size Pontiac convertibles wur affered in baith the entry level Catalina line an the posh Grand Ville line. Thare wur nae convertible Bonnevilles efter the 1970 model year. The rarest o the rare Grand Ville convertibles wis the 1971 model wi juist unner 1800 ensaumples biggit. The final year 1975 proved tae be the maist 'abundant' wi juist ower 4500 models biggit, as wird haed gotten oot that this wad be the final year o production. The Grand Ville convertible haed the lawest production amangst its corporate cousins, the Olds 88 Royale, Buick LeSabre/Centurion, Chevrolet Caprice Classic an Cadillac Eldorado convertible lines.

Serial killer
A serial killer is teepically defined as an individual who haes killt three or mair fowk ower a period o mair nor a month, wi doun time (a "ceulin aff period") atween the murthers, an whase motivation for killin is uisually based on psychological gratification. Some sources disregard the "three or mair" criteria, an define the term as "a series o twa or mair murthers, committit as separate events, uisually, but no aye, bi ane affender actin alane" or, includin the vital characteristics, a minimum o twa murthers. Aften, a sexual element is involvit in the killins, but the FBI states that motives for serial murther include "anger, thrill, financial gain, an attention seekin". The murthers mey hae been attemptit or completit in a similar fashion an the victims mey hae haed something in common, for example, occupation, race, appearance, sex, or age group.
Serial killers arena the same as mass murtherers, nor are they spree killers, wha commit murthers in twa or mair locations wi virtually nae break in atween.
Etymologie
The term an concept o the "serial killer" is commonly attributit tae umwhile FBI Special agent Robert Ressler in the 1970s. Author Ann Rule postulates in her 2004 beuk Kiss Me, Kill Me that the Inglis-leid credit for coinin the term "serial killer" goes tae LAPD detective Pierce Brooks, creator o the ViCAP seestem. Creeminal juistice historian Peter Vronsky, in his beuk Serial Killers: The Method and Madness of Monsters, while arguin that umwhile FBI profiler Robert Ressler micht hae coined the offeecial polis uise o the term "serial homicide" whan guest lecturin in 1974 at the British Bramhill Police Academy in Britain, states that the terms "serial murther" an "serial murtherer" appear in 1966 in John Brophy's beuk The Meaning of Murder. Vronsky reports that in Anne Rule's seminal beuk on Ted Bundy, The Stranger Beside Me, published in 1980, the term "serial killer" disna appear an isna yet in popular uise.

In maist kintras, a person convictit o murther is teepically gien a lang preeson sentence, possibly a life sentence whaur permittit, an in some kintras, the daith penalty mey be imposit for sic an act — tho this practice is becomin less common.
