The Delta 72
The Delta 72 were an American alternative music band formed in Washington, DC in the summer of 1994, later relocated to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
They created a frenetic and honest style channeling post -punk rock sensibilities with 1960s British Invasion R&B.
The original line- up consisted of just Ben Azzara on drums and Gregg Foreman on guitar, harp and vocals.
In short succession, friends Sarah Stolfa on Farfisa organ and Kim Thompson of Cupid Car Club on bass guitar, were added.
After the release of their first single' On the Rocks 7"', a joint production of Dischord and Kill Rock Stars records they toured the United States and played regionally around the Northeast.
After Ben Azzara left the group for The Capitol City Dusters, they were signed to Touch& Go Records in 1995.
The line- up now consisted of Gregg Foreman on guitar, harp and vocals, Jason Kourkounis( formerly of Mule) on drums, Kim Thompson on bass and vocals, and Sarah Stolfa on Farfisa organ.
Their first Touch and Go Records release was in 1996 with the" Triple Crown 7 ”" and the album" The R&B of Membership".
Later releases include several singles and an EP and the full- length CDs" The Soul of a New Machine", and" 000".
Thompson left in 1996, and was replaced by Bruce Reckahn.
Stolfa left in 1998 to be replaced by Mark Boyce( Boss Hog).
They disbanded in July 2001.
Gregg Foreman currently plays with Cat Power.

Delta G
The Delta G, or Thor- Delta
G was an American expendable launch system used to launch two biological research satellites in 1966 and 1967.
It was a member of the Delta family of rockets.
The Delta G was a two- stage derivative of the Delta E.
The first stage was a Thor missile in the DSV- 2C configuration and the second stage was a Delta E. Three Castor- 1 solid rocket boosters were clustered around the first stage.
The solid- fuel upper stage used on the Delta E was not used on the Delta G. Both launches occurred from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station Launch Complex 17.
The first was from pad 17 A on 14 December 1966 at 19:20 GMT, with Biosatellite 1.
At 22:04 on 7 September 1967, Biosatellite 2 was launched from pad B on the second Delta G.
Delta D
The Delta D, Thrust Augmented Delta or Thor-Delta D was an American expendable launch system used to launch two communications satellites in 1964 and 1965.
It was derived from the Delta C, and was a member of the Delta family of rockets.
The three-stage core vehicle was essentially the same as the Delta C.
The first stage was a Thor missile in the DSV-2A configuration, and the second stage was the Delta D, which was derived from the earlier Delta.
An Altair-2 SRM was used as a third stage.
The main difference between the Delta C and Delta D was the presence of three Castor-1 solid rocket boosters, clustered around the first stage.
Both Delta D launches were conducted from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station Launch Complex
17A. The first, on 19 August 1964, carried the Syncom 3 satellite.
The last, on 6 April 1965, carried the first commercial communications satellite, Intelsat I.
Delta Stewardship Council
The Delta Stewardship Council is a Government of California agency that is tasked with managing the Sacramento – San Joaquin River Delta.
In November 2009, the California Legislature enacted SBX7 1( Delta Reform Act), one of several bills passed related to water supply reliability, ecosystem health, and the Sacramento- San Joaquin River Delta.
The Act, effective on Feb. 3, 2010, called for the creation of the Delta Stewardship Council.
The Council has seven members, who are consulted by a 10- member board of scientists, the Delta Independent Science Board.
The Act required that the Council develop a management plan for the Delta to ensure coordinated action at the federal, state, and local levels.
This document is referred to as the Delta Plan.
Part of SBX7 1, Water Code Section 85204 also mandated the Council" establish and oversee a committee of agencies responsible for implementing the Delta Plan" to ensure that the actions of other agencies conform to the Delta Plan's policies.
As stated in the Delta Reform Act, the Council stems from the CALFED Bay- Delta Program.
Likewise, the Delta Science Program replaced the CALFED Science Program and the Delta Independent Science Board replaced the CALFED Independent Science Board.

Die Firma
Die Firma is a hip hop group formed in 1996 in Cologne, Germany.
The group consists of Tatwaffe( Alexander Trabhoven), Def Benski Obiwahn( Ben Hartung) and Fader Gladiator( Daniel Sluga).
To date, they have released six albums.
Their second album already sold over 80.000 copies in Germany and reached number 8 on the German album charts.
But they are best known for their year 2005 hit “ Die Eine ”( “ The One ”), which peaked at number 2 on the German single charts.
The band refers to its own style as: “ Lyrics about beats which represent good and evil. ”
In 2016 Tatwaffe released his second solo album" SternenklarStarlit") while Fader Gladiator worked with other artists like Lumaraa and Pillath.
Volga Delta
The Volga Delta is the largest river delta in Europe, and occurs where Europe's largest river system, the Volga River, drains into the Caspian Sea in Russia's Astrakhan Oblast, north- east of the republic of Kalmykia.
The delta is located in the Caspian Depression—the far eastern part of the delta lies in Kazakhstan.
The delta drains into the Caspian approximately 60 km downstream from the city of Astrakhan.
The Volga Delta has grown significantly in the 20th century because of changes in the level of the Caspian Sea.
In 1880, the delta had an area of 3,222 km².
Today the Volga Delta covers an area of 27,224 km² and is approximately 160 km across.
It has a classical" delta pattern".
The delta lies in the arid climate zone, characterized by very little rainfall.
The region receives less than one inch of rainfall in January and in July in normal years.
Strong winds often sweep across the delta and form linear dunes.
Along the front of the delta, one will find muddy sand shoals, mudflats, and coquina banks.
Sacramento–San Joaquin River Delta
The Sacramento – San Joaquin River Delta, or California Delta, is an expansive inland river delta and estuary in Northern California.
The Delta is formed at the western edge of the Central Valley by the confluence of the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers and lies just east of where the rivers enter Suisun Bay.
The Delta is recognized for protection by the California Bays and Estuaries Policy.
Sacramento – San Joaquin Delta was designated a National Heritage Area on March 12, 2019.
The city of Stockton is located on the San Joaquin River on the eastern edge of the delta.
The total area of the Delta, including both land and water, is about.
Its population is around 500,000 residents.
The Delta was formed by the raising of sea level following glaciation, leading to the accumulation of Sacramento and San Joaquin River sediments behind the Carquinez Strait, the sole outlet from the Central Valley to the San Pablo and San Francisco Bays and the Pacific Ocean.
The narrowness of the Carquinez Strait coupled with tidal action has caused the sediment to pile up, forming expansive islands.
Geologically, the Delta has existed for about 10,000 years, since the end of the Last Glacial Period.
In its natural state, the Delta was a large freshwater marsh, consisting of many shallow channels and sloughs surrounding low islands of peat and tule.
Since the mid-19th century, most of the region has been gradually claimed for agriculture.
Wind erosion and oxidation have led to widespread subsidence on the Central Delta islands; much of the Delta region today sits below sea level, behind levees earning it the nickname" California's Holland".
Much of the water supply for Central California and Southern California is also derived from the Delta, via pumps located at the southern end of the Delta.
The pumps deliver water for irrigation in the San Joaquin Valley and municipal water supply for Southern California.
Indus River Delta
The Indus River Delta, forms where the Indus River flows into the Arabian Sea, mostly in the southern Sindh province of Pakistan with a small portion in the Kutch Region of the western tip of India.
The delta covers an area of about 41,440 km( 16,000 square miles), and is approximately across where it meets the sea.
The active part of the delta is.
The climate is arid, the region only receives between of rainfall in a normal year.
The delta is home to the largest arid mangrove forests in the world, as well as many birds, fish and the Indus dolphin.
Since the 1940s, the delta has received less water as a result of large- scale irrigation works capturing large amounts of the Indus water before it reaches the delta.
The result has been catastrophic for both the environment and the local population.
As a result, the 2010 Pakistan floods were considered" good news" for the ecosystem and population of the river delta as they brought much needed fresh water.
The population of the active part of the delta was estimated at 900,000 in 2003.
Most of the population depends on agriculture and fishing.
Mangrove forests provide fuel wood.
Many former settlements in the delta have been abandoned as result of lack of water in the Indus and the encroaching Arabian Sea.
