Plateau
In geology and physical geography, a plateau (/pləˈtoʊ, plæˈtoʊ, ˈplætoʊ/; French: [plato]; pl.: plateaus or plateaux), also called a high plain or a tableland, is an area of highland consisting of flat terrain that is raised sharply above the surrounding area on at least one side. Often one or more sides have deep escarpments or hills. Plateaus can be formed by a number of processes, including upwelling of volcanic magma, extrusion of lava, and erosion by water and glaciers. Plateaus are classified according to their surrounding environment as intermontane, piedmont, or continental. A few plateaus may have a small flat top while others have wider ones.

Highland
Highlands or uplands are areas of high elevation such as a mountainous region, elevated mountainous plateau or high hills. Generally, upland refers to a range of hills, typically from 300 m (980 ft) up to 600 m (2,000 ft), while highland is usually reserved for ranges of low mountains. However, the two terms are interchangeable and also include regions that are transitional between hilly and mountainous terrain.
A Merry Little Christmas (Linda Ronstadt album)
A Merry Little Christmas is a Christmas album by American singer/songwriter/producer Linda Ronstadt, released in 2000.

John Boylan returned as Linda's producer for this disc. The cover art was designed by Kosh.

Among the highlights of this disc is Ronstadt's duet with the late Rosemary Clooney on the track "White Christmas".

Ronstadt and Elektra differed on the final playing order: "They wanted me to start with 'Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire'. I was tired of bargaining with them. I had this scheme where it started with ancient and went to modern. I always like to organize chronologically."

Lake Ishiba Ng'andu
Lake Ishiba Ng'andu is a lake close to the watershed between the Luangwa and Chambeshi River basins in the Muchinga Province of Zambia, on the Chambeshi side. Its name in the Bemba language means 'lake of the royal crocodile'. It measures about 5 by 1.5 kilometres (3.11 mi × 0.93 mi).

It is important to the Bemba people as the country in which, in the late 17th Century, Chitimukulu of the Ng'andu (crocodile) Clan came across a dead crocodile, and taking this as an omen, settled his people after their wanderings from the Lunda Kingdom 1,000 kilometres (620 mi) to the east. The lake was visited by missionary explorer David Livingstone, whose dog was taken by a crocodile there. The area supported large populations of game animals until the middle of the 20th century.

In the early 20th century, it was the inspiration for the nearby Shiwa Ngandu estate built by Stewart Gore-Browne, who used a variant spelling of the name.

Stewart Gore-Browne

Vanadium-51 nuclear magnetic resonance
Vanadium-51 nuclear magnetic resonance (51V NMR spectroscopy) is a method for the characterization of vanadium-containing compounds and materials. 51V comprises 99.75% of naturally occurring vanadium. The nucleus is quadrupolar with I = ⁠7/2⁠, which is not favorable for NMR spectroscopy, although its quadrupole moment and thus the linewidths are unusually small, while its magnetogyric ratio is relatively high (+7.0492  rad T−1s−1), so that 51V has 38% receptivity vs 1H. Its resonance frequency is close to that of 13C (gyromagnetic ratio = 6.728284 rad T−1s−1).

The chemical shift dispersion is great as illustrated by this series: 0 for VOCl3 (chemical shift standard), −309 for VOCl2(O-i-Pr), −506 VOCl(O-i-Pr)2, and −629 VO(O-i-Pr)3.  For vanadates, the parent orthovanadate and its conjugate acid absorb at −541 ([VO4]3-) and 534 ([HVO4]2-).  For  decavanadate, three shifts are observed in accord with the number of nonequivalent sites: −422, −502, −519.

Sodium decavanadate
Sodium decavanadate describes any member of the family of inorganic compounds with the formula Na6[V10O28](H2O)n. These are sodium salts of the orange-colored decavanadate anion [V10O28]6−. Numerous other decavanadate salts have been isolated and studied since 1956 when it was first characterized.

Balfour Stewart
Balfour Stewart (1 November 1828 – 19 December 1887) was a Scottish physicist and meteorologist.

He was elected professor of physics at Owens College, Manchester, and was the first holder of the prestigious Langworthy chair Langworthy_Professor that he retained until his death on  19 December 1887. He was the author of several successful science textbooks, and also of the article on "Terrestrial Magnetism" in the ninth edition of the Encyclopædia Britannica.

Carrington Event
The Carrington Event was the most intense geomagnetic storm in recorded history, peaking on 1–2 September 1859 during solar cycle 10. It created strong auroral displays that were reported globally and caused sparking and even fires in telegraph stations. The geomagnetic storm was most likely the result of a coronal mass ejection (CME) from the Sun colliding with Earth's magnetosphere.

The geomagnetic storm was associated with a very bright solar flare on 1 September 1859. It was observed and recorded independently by British astronomers Richard Carrington and Richard Hodgson—the first records of a solar flare. A geomagnetic storm of this magnitude occurring today has the potential to cause widespread electrical disruptions, blackouts, and damage to the electrical power grid.

The Fortunate Isles and Their Union
The Fortunate Isles and Their Union is a Jacobean era masque, written by Ben Jonson and designed by Inigo Jones, and performed on 9 January 1625. It was the last masque acted before King James I of England (who died two months later on 27 March), and therefore the final masque of the Jacobean era.

Masque
The masque was a form of festive courtly entertainment that flourished in 16th- and early 17th-century Europe, though it was developed earlier in Italy, in forms including the intermedio (a public version of the masque was the pageant). A masque involved music, dancing, singing and acting, within an elaborate stage design, in which the architectural framing and costumes might be designed by a renowned architect, to present a deferential allegory flattering to the patron. Professional actors and musicians were hired for the speaking and singing parts. Masquers who did not speak or sing were often courtiers: the English queen Anne of Denmark frequently danced with her ladies in masques between 1603 and 1611, and Henry VIII and Charles I of England performed in the masques at their courts. In the tradition of masque, Louis XIV of France danced in ballets at Versailles with music by Jean-Baptiste Lully.

Montagu Pass is situated in the Western Cape province of South Africa, on the unsigned road between Herold and George. The all gravel pass parallels the newer Outeniqua Pass which is designated as the N9/N12. The pass was named after John Montagu, Colonial Secretary of the Cape in the 1840s, who formally opened the pass in 1847.

The pass was damaged by floods in November 1996, and was closed for most of 1997 for repairs. A driving time of about one hour will take one over the Outeniqua Mountains and through the village of Herold to the N9.

The pass was designated a provincial heritage site in 1972.

He is Winslow-Kaplan Professor of Music Emeritus at Wesleyan University, where he taught both music and American Studies from 1971 to 2016.

He has been the president of the Society for Ethnomusicology and the Society for Asian Music. Two of his books on Jewish music have won the ASCAP-Deems Taylor Award.

He collected, studied and published about klezmer music, Yiddish song, wordless nigun melodies, and the music of Purim plays. His published collections, mostly only released after his death, remain important sources of Jewish music from the late Russian Empire and early Soviet period. Most of his research was done during the period of 1927–1949, during the Stalin era, during which he was faced not only with ideological restrictions, but a period of imprisonment in a forced labour camp from 1950 to 1955. He was rehabilitated after 1955 and continued his work in his final years during the Khrushchev-era.
