Großer Landgraben
The Großer Landgraben is a river of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany. It is formed at the confluence of Landgraben (west-flowing branch), Kleiner Landgraben (north-flowing branch) and Mittelgraben near Siedenbollentin. It flows into the Tollense in Klempenow.

The Großer Landgraben (German for "Great Land Ditch") is a significant waterway in the German state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, serving as both a historical border and a natural drainage system. Flowing through the Mecklenburg Lake District, it connects the Tollensesee (Lake Tollense) with the Ostsee (Baltic Sea) via the Peene River. Its strategic location and historical modifications have given it a multifaceted role in the region's geography, hydrology, and past conflicts [1, 2].

Tollense
The Tollense (German pronunciation: [tɔˈlɛnzə], from Slavic dolenica "lowland, (flat) valley") is a river in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern in northeastern Germany, right tributary of the Peene. It has a total length of 95.8 km.

The upper course begins near a small lake named Mürzsee, near the village of Blumenholz. A part of it is traditionally called Ziemenbach, flowing to lake Lieps. From this lake to Lake Tollense (Tollensesee) it is nowadays called Liepskanal. The section from Lake Tollense to the junction with the Peene river near Demmin has a length of 68 km. At this junction, the discharge and basin of Tollense is larger than the discharge and upstream basin of Peene river.

The first kilometer of the outflow in Neubrandenburg is called Oberbach. Afterwards, it is reached by two major tributaries, Linde river from the east and Malliner Wasser from the west. The middling section of Tollense river is joined to Zarow river by three different Pseudo-bifurcations.

In 1985, No. 29 was sold to a private owner, who in turn sold it to the Grand Canyon Railway (GCR). GCR returned No. 29 to service in April 1990, and the locomotive pulled the railway's passenger trains between Williams, Arizona and the South Rim of the Grand Canyon.

Clans of Baganda
Every Muganda person must belong to one of more than 52 clans of Baganda. A Muganda is therefore expected to know his or her paternal clan (and Totem) as well has his or her maternal clan. As part of one's formal introduction or greeting (especially at traditional ceremonies), one must be able to say their last name (surname), their father's surname, their paternal grandfather's name, their mother's clan, their clan Totem and clan motto or slogan (Omubala) and finally their lineage in terms of the Akasolya, Ssiga, Mutuba, Lunyiriri and Nnyumba or Nju (House). This is generally called okutambula ng'Omuganda ("narrating  your lineage Luganda).
Tschirnhausen cubic
In mathematics, the Tschirnhausen cubic is a cubic plane curve defined by the polar equation

or the equivalent algebraic equation

It is a nodal cubic, meaning that it crosses itself at one point, its node. The angle at this crossing point, inside the loop formed by the crossing, is 60°.  Because the Tschirnhausen cubic has this singularity, it can be given a parametric equation, and any arc of it 
can be drawn as a cubic Bézier curve.  It is a special case of a sinusoidal spiral, of a pursuit curve, and of a Pythagorean hodograph curve.

The original study of this curve, by Ehrenfried von Tschirnhaus, found it as a caustic of light reflected in a parabolic mirror. It was used by Eugène Catalan in an angle trisection, and it appears among the geodesics of the Enneper surface.
