Oodnadatta is a small town in the north of South Australia, 1011 km from Adelaide. About 150 people live in the town, of whom 80% are Aboriginal people from the Aranda, Antakarainnja, Luritja and Pitjantjatjara nations. The name "Oodnadatta" comes from an Aranda word, "utnadata", which means mulga blossom.  Explorer John McDouall Stuart visited the area in 1859. His route was later used as the route for the Australian Overland Telegraph Line in 1872. The discovery of good artesian wells meant that a town could be set up for the building of the railway which eventually went to Alice Springs.

Asteridae is a Linnaean term with the rank of subclass. By definition it always includes the family Asteraceae (Compositae). However, in the modern APG III system of classification, asterid and euasterid are names for clades. Their member families are similar to those of the Asteridae. One of the better-known systems that recognized subclass Asteridae was the Cronquist system, which included the orders: Most of the above orders as defined by Cronquist have been dramatically redefined on the basis of recent molecular systematic studies.

Tennant Creek () is a town in the Northern Territory of Australia, about 500 km north of Alice Springs and 1000 km south of Darwin. There are about 3,500 people living in the town, of which 55% are Indigenous. The area is part of the Barkly Tablelands, a large flat grassy plain the size of the United Kingdom, famous for its large cattle stations (farms). The first people to live in the area were the Warramunga people. The explorer John McDouall Stuart was the first European to visit the area in 1860, but was attacked by warriors from the Warramunga at Attack Creek. In the battle at the creek, Stuart wrote that they "took steady aim" and fired their guns at the Warramunga, but he does not mention if any were killed or injured. Stuart named Tennant Creek after a John Tennant, of Port Lincoln, South Australia. A repeater station for the Australian Overland Telegraph Line was built 11 km north of Tennant Creek in 1872. There was a gold rush to Tennant Creek in 1930, Australia's last gold rush. Mining is still a major activity in the area, with gold, manganese and copper mines. In 2011 the Australian government proposed building a nuclear waste dump near the town despite protests from the traditional Aboriginal land owners. The traditional owners challenged the proposal in the Federal Court in June 2014, and the Northern Land Council dropped its plans.

Benjamin Herschel Babbage (1815—1878) was an English scientist, engineer and explorer. Babbage was the son of the famous mathematician, Charles Babbage. He went to South Australia to map the geography and the location of minerals. Babbage was very thorough, and spent a lot of time making sure that his information was correct. He carried a lot of equipment, as well as four and half tonnes of food, enough to last 18 months in the desert. Among his supplies he had 20 kilograms of chocolate and 5000 litres of water. He also took a flock of 150 sheep, which limited the speed the group could move. The government became frustrated with Babbage's slow progress, they wanted to know about possible farm lands and valuable minerals as soon as possible. Eventually Babbage was removed from the job and replaced by Major Peter Warburton. Babbage later helped on the planning for the Australian Overland Telegraph Line. He was interested in growing grapes and retired to his large vineyard at St.Marys. He died on 20 October 1878, and is buried at St.Marys.
Poinsettia ("Euphorbia pulcherrima") is a red and green plant popular at Christmas time. It grows in Mexico and Central America and is an important export. It belongs to the order Malpighiales. Many flowering plants use the pigment phytochrome to sense seasonal changes in day length, which they take as signals to flower. This sensitivity to day length is termed photoperiodism. Short day plants flower when the length of daylight falls below a certain critical level.  It is not actually the period of light exposure that limits flowering. Rather, a short day plant requires a minimal length of uninterrupted darkness in each 24-hour period (a short daylength) before floral development can begin.  Plants make use of the phytochrome system to sense day length or photoperiod. This fact is used by florists and greenhouse gardeners to control and induce flowering out of season, such as with "Poinsettia".
Dipsacaceae, or teasel family, was a family in the order Dipsacales. It contained 350 species of perennial or biennial herbs and shrubs. ("Perennial" means that a plant lives for two or more years. "Biennial" means that a plant takes two years to grow fully.) The family contained eleven (11) genera. It is in the family Caprifoliaceae now. These plants live in most temperate climates. They are found in Europe, Asia, and Africa. The family contains these genera:
Venda, also called ' or ', is a Bantu language and an official language of South Africa. Most Venda speakers live in South Africa, but some speakers live in Zimbabwe. The Venda language is very similar to the Shona and Pedi languages, which is spoken in South Africa and Zimbabwe. During the Apartheid era of South Africa, Venda speakers lived in the bantustan of Venda. Venda is a language in the Bantu branch of the Niger-Congo language family. Venda is spoken by about 666,000 people in the northern part of South Africa's Limpopo Province. Around 84,000 people in Zimbabwe also speak the language. Writing. The Venda language uses the Latin alphabet. It has five (5) extra accented letters. Four consonants have a circumflex below the letter ("ḓ", "ḽ", "ṋ", "ṱ") and one consonant has an overdot ("ṅ").  The letters C, J, and Q are used when writing foreign words and names. Unicode. The extra letters have these Unicode names
Deinococcus radiodurans is a gram-positive, nonmotile, red-pigmented bacterium. It was originally identified as a contaminant of irradiated canned meat in 1956.  "Deinococcus radiodurans" has the systems for DNA repair, DNA damage export and genetic redundancy. It can recover from desiccation (loss of water) and starvation. It has a very high tolerance to radiation forms like gamma radiation. It is so far known as the most radioactive resistant organism. Thioredoxin reductase is an enzyme found in the cells' response to double-strand DNA breaks. "D. radiodurans has" a gene sequence that encodes for a protein that is very similar to the RecD enzyme found in "E. coli". This significant finding suggests that this RecD-like protein in "D. radiodurans" is an important part of the repair system it uses.  It may be possible to make other bacteria as radiation resistant as "D. radiodurans" by changing their genetics. One research team in China is trying to insert an expressive recombinant Mn-SOD protein from "D. radiodurans" into "E.coli" BL21. The real challenge here is making the protein self-sustaining in the new species. The team has "provided the foundations for further studies and applications of the recombinant Mn-SOD". Genus. The genus "Deinococcus" has 47 species, which share these characteristics. "D. radiodurans" is the one discovered first, and on which most experiments have been done. All members of the genus are radio-resistant.

The Adelaide River is in the Northern Territory of Australia. It starts in the Lichfield National Park and flows into the sea at Clarence Strait, about 50 km northeast of Darwin. The river is about 253 km in length. It is well known for its Saltwater Crocodiles. Europeans first explored the river in 1839 when a British sailor, Ben Helpmann, explored it by boat.
Eduard "Edi" Bauer (13 February 1894 - 4 March 1948) was an Austrian football player and coach. He played for SK Rapid Wien and the Austrian national football team as striker. He was also coach of the Austrian national football team. Eduard Bauer died in 1948 of complications after an operation.
The Roper River is in the Northern Territory of Australia. It flows east for 400 km from near Mataranka before it flows into the Gulf of Carpentaria. The Roper was first explored by Europens in 1845, when the explorer Ludwig Leichardt crossed on his way west from Moreton Bay to Port Essington. He name it after a member of his group, John Roper. It is can be used by boats as far as the Roper Bar, and in the 1880's there were several paddlesteamers working on the river.
Manuel Luis Quezón y Molina (August 19, 1878 – August 1, 1944) served as president of the Commonwealth of the Philippines from 1935 to 1944. He was the first Filipino to be in charge of a government of the Philippines. Quezón is considered by most Filipinos to have been the second president of the Philippines, after Emilio Aguinaldo (1897–1901).  Quezón was the first Senate president elected to the presidency, the first president elected through a national election, and the first president to be re-elected. He is known as the "Father of the National Language". During his presidency, Quezón addressed the problem of landless peasants in the countryside. He also reorganized the islands's military defenses, planned to reorganize the government, promotion of settlement and development in Mindanao, tried to end foreign control over Philippine trade and commerce, proposals for land reform and the tackling of graft and corruption within the government. Quezón set up a government-in-exile in the US when World War II started and the Philippines were threatened with a Japanese invasion. During his exile in the US, Manuel Quezón died of tuberculosis in Saranac Lake, New York.

These waters then together flow into the Bay of Bengal. The Jamuna is known to be a very wide river. The breadth of the river, from bank to bank, is about 2 miles in the dry season while its about 5 miles during the rainy season. The River also acts as an important resource for transportation.
Cornish dialect, also called Anglo-Cornish dialect, is the dialect of English that is spoken in Cornwall, in south-western Great Britain. History. A long time ago, people in Cornwall spoke Cornish, a language that is similar to Welsh and Breton. After a while, people speaking English came to Cornwall, and the Cornish people started to learn English. They did not speak in exactly the same way but spoke in a distinct way, the Cornish dialect. Eventually, people had forgotten how to speak Cornish by about 1800. International use. Cornish people also spoke Cornish dialect when they went abroad to Australia, North America and other places. Geography. The Cornish dialect changes between the west and the east of Cornwall. In the latter, it is more like how people in Devon speak. Differences from Standard English. Sometimes, Cornish people use different words from those who speak Standard English or say words in a different order when they speak Cornish dialect from when they speak Standard English. There is a difference in grammar between Cornish dialect and Standard English. Other times, they pronounce words differently by using different vowel sounds from Standard English. Decline. When Cornish people started to go to school in the late 19th century, teachers told them to speak Standard English, not dialect. Many people thought that those who spoke the dialect were not less intelligent and educated than those who spoke Standard English and so people spoke the dialect less often, and the dialect declined. In the 20th century, many people moved into Cornwall from the South-East of England, near London. People there did not speak the dialect and found it hard to understand thopse who spoke it. That made the Cornish people speak the dialect less to become understood. Preservation. As fewer people spoke the Cornish dialect, other people, such as people in the Old Cornwall Society, wrote the dialect down and made audio recordings to prevent the dialect from being lost. People have written books, short stories, and poetry in Cornish dialect.
Cullompton is a town and civil parish in Mid Devon, Devon, England. In 2010 there were 8,639 people living in Cullompton. It is also near Cullompton Services, on the M5 motorway. How the town got its name and spelling. There are two ideas about how the town got its name. The first idea is that its name means farm near the River Culm and that the name "Culm" means twisted, because the river has lots of bends The second idea is that it is named after Saint Columba of Tir-de-Glas who some people think came to Cullompton in 549 AD. In the past there were 40 different ways to spell Cullompton. In the nineteenth century people used 3 different spellings. The Royal Mail who delivered letters, spelt it "Cullompton". The first map made by the Ordnance Survey called it "Cullumpton". The railway station sign said "Collumpton". By 1889 almost everyone agreed to spell it Cullompton.  People who live in the town and like it call it "Cully". History. A Roman fort was built on St Andrew's Hill above the town. This was later replaced by a second fort. Pottery which was made between 50 and 70 AD was found in the field where the forts were. Some more pottery was found in the middle of Cullompton. This was not as old as the pottery from the fort and was made in the second and third centuries. The first written record of Cullompton is in the will of the English King Alfred the Great.
Mumbai Indians is one of the ten teams which play in the Indian Premier League. The team was found in 2008 and is owned by Reliance Industries Limited.  The Indians had won the IPL trophy five times (2013, 2015, 2017, 2019, 2020). In 2011, they won the Champions League Twenty20 trophy for the first time and repeated the feat in 2013. Mark Boucher is the head coach of the team. Rohit Sharma is the captain of the team. Assisting them in coaching are Jonty Rodhes as the fielding coach and Shaun Pollock as the bowling coach. History. Reliance Industries Limited purchased the rights of Mumbai Indians for a total of ₹ 4410 M ($ 112.9 M) during the auction on 24 January 2008. IPL Seasons. 2008 Season. The Indians lost their team captain &amp; icon player, Sachin Tendulkar due to a hamstring injury and he was cured later on then immediately. Harbhajan Singh replaced him as the captain of the side. Due to some issues, Shaun Pollock had to takeover as the coach from Jonty Rhodes because of a leg injury, which was cured later then on immediately, which bought some stability into the side for the first time in the season. The Indians finished with a total of 7 wins and 7 losses and thus missed out on a playoff spot by a few points. 2009 Season. Due to the general election in 2009 in India, the second edition of IPL had to be held in South Africa. The second season also proved to be a setback for the team as they finished with a total of 5 wins, 8 loses and 1 no result (that match got cancelled due to rain); and thus not making it to the playoffs again. 2010 Season. During the auction held for the 2010 IPL season, Mumbai Indians purchased Kieron Pollard for ₹ 64.932375 M ($ 750 K). This proved to be a great boost for the team. After the group stages, Mumbai Indians won 10 out of their 14 matches thus
