The Punjab Hill States Agency was an administrative unit of British India.
The agency was created in 1936, and was made up a number of princely states in the present-day Indian states of Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand.
In 1901 the Punjab States Agency was created, in 1936 the hilly parts of this became the Punjab Hill States Agency.
The states came under British rule after the Anglo-Nepalese War of 1814-16, and were known as the Simla Hill States.
They later became part of the British province of Punjab, apart from Tehri-Garhwal, which was part of the United Provinces.
After Indian Independence in 1947, the states acceded to the Government of India, most of the states became the new state of Himachal Pradesh, with Tehri-Garhwal becoming part of Uttar Pradesh.
In 2000, the northern portion of Uttar Pradesh, including the former state of Tehri-Garhwal, became the new Indian state of Uttarakhand.

The Patiala and East Punjab States Union (PEPSU) was a former state of India.
It was created out of the merger of several Punjabi princely states on 15 July 1948, formally becoming a state of India in 1950.
The capital and principal city was Patiala, and the last Maharaja of Patiala, Yadvindra Singh, served as Governor of the state during its short existence.
The Governor was appointed by the President of India, but the people of the state also elected a 60-member state assembly, first elected on 6 January 1952.
The Congress Party won 26 seats and the Akali Dal 19 seats.
On 1 November 1956, PEPSU was merged into Punjab state.
Part of the former state of PEPSU, including the southeastern portion of the state around Jind and the Narnaul enclave, presently lie within the state of Haryana, which was separated from Punjab on 1 November 1966.
West Punjab was a former province of Pakistan which existed from 1947 to 1955.
The province covered an area of ,including much of the current Punjab province and the Islamabad Capital Territory, but excluding the former princely states of Bahawalpur.
The capital was the city of Lahore and the province was mad up of four divisions (Lahore, Sargodha, Multan and Rawalpindi).
The province was bordered by the Indian states of East Punjab to the east, the princely state of Bahawalpur to the south, the provinces of Balochistan and Sindh to the southwest, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to the northwest, and Azad Jammu and Kashmir and Occupied Kashmir to the northeast.
The independence of Pakistan in 1947 led to the divisions of the Punjab province into two new provinces.
The East Punjab where most people were Sikh and Hindu became part of the new nation of India while the mainly Muslim West Punjab became part of the new nation of Pakistan.
The name of the province was shortened to Punjab in 1950.
West Punjab was merged into the province of West Pakistan in 1955 under the One Unit policy announced by Prime Minister Chaudhry Mohammad Ali.
When that province was dissolved, the area of the former province of West Punjab was combined with the former state of Bahawalpur to form a new Punjab Province.
At independence there was a Muslim majority in West Punjab with significant minorities of Hindus and Sikhs.
Nearly all of these minorities left West Punjab for India, to be replaced by large numbers of Muslims fleeing in the opposite direction.
The official language of West Punjab was Urdu but most of the population spoke Punjabi using the Shahmukhi script.
The offices of Governor of West Punjab and Chief Minister of West Punjab lasted from August 15 1947, until 14th October 1955.
The first Governor was Sir Francis Mudie with Iftikhar Hussain Khan as the first Chief Minister.
Both offices were abolished in 1955, when the province of West Pakistan was created.
The last Governor of West Punjab, Mushtaq Ahmad Gurmani, became the first Governor of West Pakistan.

Multan is a city in the Punjab province of Pakistan.
It is the capital of the Multan District.
Called the "City of the Saints", the history of the city goes back more than 5,000 years.
The old city of Multan is a Walled city which is built on an ancient mound.
Archaeologists believe the mound is made up of earlier cities going back to the Bronze Age.
There were six gates into the old city but these have been destroyed over time.
Three gates were rebuilt by the British when they governed the country.
Inside the wall is a circular road, called the alang.
The old city has narrow and winding streets, with houses crowded close together.
Multan is the main center of the South Punjab, Seraiki speaking region.
The people here think their language is separate from the majority Punjabi language of Punjab and want to create a separate province of their own, called Seraikistan.
This city has some important political figures.
Syed Yousaf Raza Gillani,a former Prime Minister of Pakistan belongs to Multan.
Another well-known politician from here is Shah Mehmood Qureshi.

River Tay is a river in Scotland.
It starts in Loch Tay, and opens up into the North Sea at the Firth of Tay.
It discharges more water than the Thames and the Severn put together.
It is the longest river in Scotland and the sixth longest in the United Kingdom.
It starts in the Scottish Highlands, and moves east until it goes through Perth.
Its mouth is wide, and is called the Firth of Tay on the east coast.
Dundee is on the north bank of the Firth.
The Tay's very wide mouth is spanned by a long rail bridge, the replacement for the one which fell in the Tay Bridge disaster.
The Tay Road Bridge was opened in 1966.

Although the 1992 Atlantic hurricane season was below average, Hurricane Andrew was the exception to that.
This hurricane blasted the Bahamas, southeast Florida and south central Louisiana, taking a path extremely similar to Hurricane Betsy, which also struck southern Florida and Louisiana.
However, unlike Betsy, Andrew did not make flooding in New Orleans.
Contrary to typical, damage from Hurricane Andrew was caused almost entirely by high winds rather than storm surge in Florida and Louisiana.
This storm caused between $23 billion and $37 billion in damage (1992 USD) and between 56 and 68 fatalities, making Andrew the costliest Atlantic hurricane to hit the United States.
Andrew's devastating damage spawned many rumors.
These included claims that hundreds or even thousands of migrant farm workers in south Dade County (now Miami-Dade County) were killed and their deaths were not reported in official accounts.
An investigation by the Miami Herald found no basis for such rumors.
These rumors were probably based on the 1928 Okeechobee Hurricane, when the deaths of migrant workers initially went uncounted, and were still debated at the time of Andrew.
The slow response of federal aid to storm victims in southern Florida led Dade County emergency management director Kate Hale to become famous.
At a nationally televised news conference, she exclaimed: "Where in the hell is the cavalry on this one?
They keep saying we're going to get supplies.
For God's sake, where are they?"
Almost immediately, President George H. W. Bush promised, "Help is on the way," and mobile kitchens and tents, along with units from the 82nd Airborne Division, began pouring in.
Insurance claims in the wake of the extreme damage caused by Andrew led to the bankruptcy and closure of 11 insurance agencies and drained an excessive amount of equity from 30 more.
Nearly one million residences were no longer eligible for coverage by any insurance agency.
This led the Florida Legislature to create new agencies (the Joint Underwriting Association, the Florida Windstorm Underwriting Association and the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund) to restore important insurance coverage.
Homeowners and officials criticized developers and contractors for poor building practices and poor building codes.
An inquiry after the storm concluded that there were probably construction flaws in some buildings, and that the state of Florida did enforce some strict building codes since 1986, but they were either overlooked or ignored.
However, the evidence was not sufficient enough to issue criminal charges for neglect.
The effects of Hurricane Andrew on Florida wetlands were considerable.
In the Florida Everglades, 25%, 70,000 acres (280 km²) of trees were knocked down by the storm.
It took 20 days for new trees and vegetation to grow following the storms passing.
Damage to marine life was moderate as the storm lowered the oxygen level in the water, threatening many fish and other marine wildlife.
In addition, the storm killed 182 million fish in the basin, causing $160 million (1992 USD) in lost value.
In the decade after the storm, Hurricane Andrew may have contributed to the massive and sudden housing boom in Broward County, Florida.
Located just north of Miami-Dade County, residents who had lost their homes moved to western sections of the county that were just starting to be developed.
The result was record growth in places like Miramar, Pembroke Pines and Weston.
In Louisiana, the hurricane knocked down 80% of the trees in part of the Atchafalaya River Basin near the coast.
Offshore, the storm killed 9.4 million fish, causing $7.8 million (1992 USD) in lost value, and damaged large areas of marshland along the Louisiana coast.
About 6,200 people had to be housed in 36 shelters, according to the American Red Cross.
The Salvation Army sent in 37 mobile food storages, that served 40,000 meals, to help those who could get little or no food.
Federal aid, from the Pentagon, sent in four 750 kilowatt generators, 2,500 cots, and 30,000 MRE's, or prepackaged meals, to Louisiana.
About 1,279 National Guard were deployed to Louisiana, to do various duties, from cooking to patrolling.
Sheriffs along the coast of Louisiana proposed a curfew from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. local time.
Alcohol sales were also stopped immediately after the storm.
Because of exceptional and widespread damage in Florida and Louisiana, the name "Andrew" was retired in the Spring of 1993.
It will never again be used for an Atlantic hurricane.
The name was replaced by Alex for the 1998 season.

Hurricane Gordon was a very damaging tropical storm for the Caribbean, Florida and parts of North Carolina.
The storm was very slow moving on its path over the Caribbean.
This storm killed over 1100 people (estimates are between 500-2300 people dead through Haiti and the central Caribbean islands, including Jamaica and Cuba).
The storm's strange motion was making Hurricane Gordon hard to forecast where it would actually go and where it would reach land.
Hurricane Gordon was the last storm of the inactive 1994 Season and the second most costly of the 1994 season, even though the storm was a hurricane for only a few hours.
On November 8 a tropical wave near Costa Rica became Tropical Depression Twelve.
On November 10th in made landfall near Puerto Cabezas, Nicaragua.
The same day it became Tropical Storm Gordon after moving back into the Caribbean.
It made its first landfall near Kingston, Jamaica on November 13 it soon made its second landfall in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba on the same day.
The storm brushed the northern coast of Cuba and the southern islands of the Bahamas.
It made its third landfall in Key West, Florida on November 15.
Gordon turned northeast and made it fourth landfall in Fort Myers, Florida the next day.
When Gordon crossed Florida it took about nine hours and it went into the Atlantic Ocean on a northeastward track.
Gordon stayed on that track until November 17, when it became Hurricane Gordon while it was about 245 miles southeast of Cape Fear, North Carolina.
Shortly after becoming a hurricane it reached top winds of 85 mph and then brushed the coast of North Carolina.
Gordon weakened back to a tropical storm and started on a U-shaped track.
Gordon weakened further into a tropical depression and on November 19 it made its fifth and last landfall near Vero Beach, Florida and on November 21 Gordon died out while over South Carolina.
The damage in Haiti is unknown.
But in Haiti, Hurricane Gordon killed about 1,122 people.
The number is high likely because of mudslides and because of the deforestation (removing trees) of the forests in Haiti.
Florida was where most of the damage was.
Damage in Florida was at about $400 million.
Gordon also crossed the state three times, which is likely why the damage is that high.
No retirement
In the spring of 1995 Gordon was not retired even though it caused lots of deaths in Haiti.
Since Gordon was not retired in 1994, the name Gordon was used again in 2000, 2006, 2012 and 2018.
The name will next be used in 2024.
Hurricanes in Haiti
Hurricane Diana was a Category 4 tropical cyclone that hit the United States east coast in 1984.
Diana was a very unusual storm.
forecasters had many problems saying when and where it would strike.
In September of the 1984 Atlantic hurricane season, Diana became an intense tropical cyclone.
She had highest winds of  during its peak.
The storm made landfall in southeast North Carolina with winds between 88 to 100 mph.
The storm itself did not kill anyone,  although three deaths were caused by it.
Hurricane Diana was the first major hurricane in eastern North Carolina in almost three decades.
Although it was a Category 4 hurricane it caused only $65 million in damage.
At Woodstock in 1969, Hoffman ran onstage to interrupt The Who's performance.
He tried to speak against the jailing of John Sinclair of the White Panther Party.
Pete Townshend was adjusting his amplifier between songs and turned around to see Hoffman.
Townshend cursed at Hoffman and tried to knock him off the stage.
He was arrested after a conviction for selling cocaine.
He was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 1980.
He committed suicide by an overdose of phenobarbital and alcohol.
Portrayal in media
Hoffman's life was dramatized in the 2000 movie Steal This Movie.
Vincent D'Onofrio acted his part.
In the 1987 HBO television movie Conspiracy: The Trial of the Chicago 8, Michael Lembeck acted the part of Hoffman.
Richard D'Alessandro played the part of Hoffman in the 1994 movie Forrest Gump.
He is seen speaking against "the war in Vietnam" at a protest rally at the Lincoln Memorial.

Official NFL Draft History (1936-Present)
The Bull shark (Carcharhinus leucas), or Zambezi shark, is a species of shark of the genus Carcharhinus.
The shark grows to a maximum length of 11.5 feet (3.5 metres), but is usually 7.3-7.8 feet (2.2-2.3 metres) long.
It is found in tropical and subtropical coastal waters worldwide, as well as river systems and freshwater lakes.
Bull sharks have a very sturdy body, and have a blunt, rounded snout, giving the Bull shark its name.
The first dorsal fin is large and widely triangular with a pointed tip.
The second dorsal fin is noticeably smaller.
The pectoral fins are also large, and have sharp tips.
Bull sharks have quite small eyes as compared to other carcharhinid sharks, which might mean that vision is not a very important hunting tool for this species which is usually found in muddy waters.
Bull sharks are usually pale to dark grey above, and their undersides are white.
In young Bull sharks, the fins have black tips which turn to a dusky colour as they grow.
The teeth of the upper jaw are wide, triangular, and heavily jagged.
The teeth of the lower jaw have a wide base, and are narrow, triangular, and are finely jagged.
The front teeth are raised and are nearly symmetrical, while the back teeth are more slanted in shape.
The maximum weight is over 500 pounds (230 kg).
The size at birth is around 29 inches (75 cm).
Females are larger than males, reaching a length of around 7.8 feet (2.4 metres) as adults, and weighing around 285 pounds (130 kg).
This is the result of a longer lifespan of about 16 years, compared to 12 years for males.
Males reach a length of around 7.3 feet (2.2 metres), and weigh 209 pounds (95 kg).
The growth rates calculated from captive Bull sharks were estimated to be about 11 inches (28 cm) per year in the first years of life, slowing to half that rate after about 4 years of age.
The Bull shark is found in tropical and subtropical coastal waters worldwide as well as in many river systems and some freshwater lakes.
They have been reported 3700 km (2220 miles) up the Amazon River in Peru, and over 3000 km (1800 miles) up the Mississippi River in Illinois.
A group of Bull sharks found in Lake Nicaragua (Central America) was once thought to be landlocked, but they found access to the ocean through rivers and estuaries.
In the western Atlantic Bull sharks migrate north along the coast of the U.S during summer, swimming as far north as Massachusetts, and then return to tropical climates when the coastal waters cool.
The Bull shark likes to live in shallow coastal waters less than 100 feet deep (30 metres), but ranges from 3–450 feet deep (1–135 metres).
It commonly enters estuaries, bays, harbours, lagoons, and river mouths.
It is the only known shark species which is found in freshwater, and can spend long periods of time in such environments.
It is not likely that the Bull shark's entire life cycle is within a freshwater system, however.
There is evidence that they can breed in freshwater, but not as regularly as they do in estuarine and marine habitats.
Young Bull sharks enter estuaries with low salt contents and lagoons as readily as adults do, and use these shallow areas as nursery grounds.
They can also live in waters with high salt contents; as high as 53 parts per thousand.
Even though humans are not on their diet, bull sharks have been known to be very aggressive towards humans.
This shark can be a danger to people since many people don't have the knowledge that Bull sharks can be found in rivers and freshwater.
Almost all of the close to shore shark attacks on humans have been caused by this species.
They are listed as the 3rd largest risk to humans when it comes to sharks.
They are only behind the Great White Shark and the Tiger shark.
They are very territorial and they will attack anything that gets into their environment and they feel is a risk.
They have been known to bite horses and other animals that come to close to the water.
Although the Bull shark has no real predators, young Bull sharks have been known to fall prey to Tiger sharks, Sandbar sharks, and even adult Bull sharks.
Parasites, like Pandarus sinuatus and Perissopus dentatus, have been found in Bull sharks, and parasitize the body surface of this shark.
The Bull shark mainly feeds on bony fish and small sharks.
In the western Atlantic they commonly feed on mullet, tarpon, catfish, menhaden, gar, snook, jacks, mackerel, snappers, and other schooling fish.
They also regularly feed on stingrays and young sharks including small individuals of their own species in their inshore nursery habitats.
Bull sharks are also been known to feed on sea turtles, dolphins, crabs, shrimp, sea birds, squid, terrestrial mammals, echinoderms, and crustaceans.
Bull sharks often appear sluggish as they slowly swim along the bottom, but are quite quick and good at capturing smaller, agile prey, and are capable of burst speeds of over 11 mph (19 km/h).
Bull sharks may spend many hours each day looking for food.
They will eat heavily too when there is a large amount of food to be found.
They mostly hunt on their own, but there have been observed times when a pair of Bull Sharks will hunt as a team.
Bull sharks are viviparous, meaning that they give live birth.
The gestation period is about one year, usually during the summer months but sometimes in early autumn as well.
Bull sharks usually migrate to river mouths to mate and have their young.
Pups are about 60 cm (24 inches) long, and mothers give birth to 5 to 15 pups at a time.
Coastal lagoons, river mouths, and estuaries with low salt contents are common nursery habitats.
Bull sharks reach maturity depending on where they are.
One study in the southern Gulf of Mexico found that the age of maturity was 10 years (7 feet) for females and 9–10 years (6.2-6.6 feet) for males.
Another study in the northern Gulf of Mexico showed that the age of maturity was 7 feet (14–15 years) for males and 7.4 feet (18 years) for females.
The Bull shark gets its name from its sturdy appearance and aggressive nature.
In French, the Bull shark is known as "requin bouledogue".
In Spanish it is known as "tiburon sarda".
It is known by many different names throughout its range including "Zambezi shark" and "Van Rooyen's shark" in Africa, "Ganges shark" (India), "Nicaragua shark" (Central America), and "Freshwater whaler", "Estuary whaler", and "Swan River whaler" in Australia.
In English it is also known as the "Shovelnose shark", "Square-nose shark", "River shark", "Slipway grey shark", "Ground shark", and "Cub shark".
Although the Bull shark is rarely the target species of commercial fisheries, it is usually caught accidentally along with other catches.
Since it is found inshore, it has been made a target for artisanal fisheries.
The meat of the Bull shark is eaten by humans, the hide is used for leather, the fins are used in shark-fin soup and the liver is made into vitamin-rich oils.
In certain areas, such as the Gulf of Mexico and South Africa, the Bull shark is also a popular game fish.
The Bull shark’s inshore and freshwater habitat not only makes it an easier target of fisheries, but since these habitats are usually polluted and are targets to habitat modification, the Bull shark is in danger.
The Bull shark is listed as Near Threatened by the IUCN
According to the International Shark Attack File (ISAF), Bull sharks are responsible for at least 69 unprovoked attacks on humans around the world, 17 of which have resulted in deaths.
However, this species is likely to be responsible for many more attacks, and has been considered by many experts to be the most dangerous shark in the world.
Because of its large size, its ability to enter freshwater, and the fact that it is found inshore, it might be more of a threat to humans than either the Great White Shark or the Tiger shark.
Since the Bull shark is found in many Third World regions including Central America, Mexico, India, east and west Africa, the Middle East, southeast Asia, and south Pacific islands, attacks are often not reported.
The Bull shark is also not as easily identifiable as the Great White or the Tiger shark, so it is likely to be responsible for a large percentage of attacks with unidentified culprits.
The Bull shark has been considered to be the culprit in the infamous series of five shark attacks in New Jersey in 1916 which resulted in four deaths over a 12-day period.
Three of these attacks happened in Matawan Creek, a shallow tidal river, only 40 feet (12 metres) across, 1.5 miles (2.4 km) from bay waters, and over 15 miles (24 km) from the open ocean; not a location where any other large shark species would likely be found.
A 7.5 foot (2.25 metres) Great White was captured two days after the last attack, however, just 4 miles (6.4 km) from the mouth of Matawan Creek, and contained human remains in its stomach.
A 9-foot (2.7 m) Bull shark was also captured a day later only 10 miles (16 km) from Matawan.
This has been a topic of debate for many years, and there is evidence that points at both, the Bull shark and the Great White as the culprits.
Alan Shepard (November 18, 1923 - July 21, 1998) was an American astronaut.
He was the first American to travel into space.
He was born in East Derry, New Hampshire.
He received a Bachelor of Science at Naval Academy in 1944, graduated at Naval Testpilot School in 1951 and he earned a Master of Arts at the Naval War College in 1957.
On May 5, 1961, Shepard flew into space in the Mercury spacecraft.
This was powered by a Redstone rocket.
He made another space flight as spacecraft commander (person in charge) of Apollo 14.
This was the third trip to land astronauts on the moon.
The trip lasted from January 31 - February 9, 1971.
At the age of 47, he was the oldest person to ever walk on the Moon.
In April 5, 1945, Shepard married with Louise.
They also had three children.
Shepard suffered with leukemia in 1996 and died on July 21, 1998 in Pebble Beach, California.
His wife died from a heart attack on August 25, 1998.
Julia Mary Fownes Somerville (born July 14, 1947) is a reporter.
She has worked for BBC News and ITN.
She studied English at Sussex University.
Somerville has been interested in art.
In 2001, she was one of the people who selected the National Portrait Gallery's BP Portrait of the Year.
She has also served as a judge for several years on the RIBA Annual Architecture Award Panels.
On 18 September 2003, Somerville was appointed Chair of the Advisory Committee of the Government Art Collection.
Somerville has married three times: to Stephen Band (1970 - 1975, no children), Ray Gowdridge ( 1984 - 1992, two children).
She currently lives in North London with her third husband, the architect Sir Jeremy Dixon.
Somerville and Dixon were interviewed by police in 1996.
The people who developed their photograph had raised suspicions, because the couple wanted ot have images of their seven-year-old child developed.
These photos showed the child bathing.
No caution or charges followed the investigation.
White émigré (Белоэмигрант) is a political term used to describe Russian people who left Russia because of the Russian Revolution or Civil War.
The term is used in France, the United States and the United Kingdom.
Sometimes the term is used to describe everyone who left the country because of changes in the government.
The words White émigré had a very negative meaning in the Soviet Union between 1920 and 1980.
After 1980, those people who left during that time are called first wave émigrés.
Many White émigrés thought the White movement was something good.
Some of them, the Mensheviks and Socialist-Revolutionaries, did not like the Bolsheviks but did not like the White movement either.
Others were just not interested in politics.
Many of those who left are still part of the Eastern Orthodox Church.
Most White émigrés left Russia between 1917 and 1920.
Between 900,000 and two million people left.
Many different classes of people left.
These classes included military soldiers and officers, Cossacks, intellectuals, businessmen and landowners.
Officials of the Russian Imperial Government and anti-Bolshevik governments of the Russian Civil War also left.
Most émigrés left Southern Russia and Ukraine and went to Turkey.
They then moved to eastern European Slavic countries, for example the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, and Poland.
A large number also went to Estonia, Latvia,  Lithuania, Finland, Germany and France.
Berlin and Paris had large émigré communities.
Many civilians and military officers in Siberia and the Far East moved to Shanghai and other surrounding areas of China, Central Asia, and Eastern Turkestan.
Some moved to Japan.
What the people believed
White émigrés often did not like Communism.
They did not believe the Soviet Union was properly Russian.
They believed the period of time from 1917 until 1991 was a time of occupation by the Soviet government which was internationalist and anti-Christian.
Many White émigrés believed that Russia should be governed by a monarch.
Others thought that the government should be chosen by popular plebiscite.
Many White émigrés believed that their mission was to keep the culture and way of life from the time before the revolution while living in other countries.
They believe that by doing this, they could return Russia to this culture when the Soviet Union was no longer in control of the country.
A religious mission to the outside world was another idea used by the émigrés.
Bishop John of Shanghai and San Francisco (canonized as a saint of the Russian Orthodox Church Abroad) said at the 1938 All-Diaspora Council:
"To the Russians abroad it has been granted to shine in the whole world with the light of Orthodoxy, so that other peoples, seeing their good deeds, might glorify our Father Who is in Heaven, and thus obtain salvation for themselves."
(simplified) "To the Russian people living in other countries, spread Orthodoxy to the world.
By doing good things, show the people of other countries that God is good and bring them salvation."
Many White émigrés also believed that they should still fight against the Soviet dictatorship.
They hoped this would help free Russia.
This idea was largely inspired by General Pyotr Wrangel.
When the White army was defeated, he said,  "The battle for Russia has not ceased, it has merely taken on new forms". ("
We are not done trying to free Russia.
We just have to use different ways to do so.")
"There will be an hour – believe it – there will be, when the liberated Russia will ask each of us: "What have you done to accelerate my rebirth."
Let us earn the right not to blush, but be proud of our existence abroad.
As being temporarily deprived of our Motherland let us save in our ranks not only faith in her, but an unbending desire towards feats, sacrifice, and the establishment of a united friendly family of those who did not let down their hands in the fight for her liberation."
(simplified) "In the future, when Russia is free, each of us will be asked "What did you do to help free Russia?"
Let us be able to be  of what we did to free Russia while we were living in other countries.
During the time we cannot live in Russia, we must believe in Russia and join together with those people who will always fight for the freedom of Russia."
Organizations and activities
The émigrés formed different organisations which had the purpose of fighting against the Soviet regime.
Examples of such organisations are the Russian All-Military Union, the Brotherhood of Russian Truth, and the NTS.
This made the White émigrés a target for infiltration by the Soviet secret police (i.e. operation TREST and the Inner Line).
Seventy-five White army veterans served as volunteers supporting Francisco Franco during the Spanish Civil War.
Some White émigrés adopted pro-Soviet sympathies, for which they were labelled "Soviet patriots".
These people formed organizations such as the Mladorossi, the Evraziitsi, and the Smenovekhovtsi.
During World War II, many White émigrés took part in the Russian Liberation Movement.
On the other hand, a significant number participated in anti-Nazi movements such as the French Resistance.
During the war, the White émigrés came into contact with former Soviet citizens from German-occupied territories who used the German retreat as an opportunity to flee from the Soviet Union or were in Germany and Austria as POWs and forced labourers and preferred to stay in the West, often referred to as the second wave of émigrés (often also called DPs – displaced persons, see Displaced persons camp).
This smaller second wave fairly quickly began to assimilate into the White émigré community.
After the war, active anti-Soviet combat was almost exclusively continued by NTS: other organizations either dissolved, or began concentrating exclusively on self-preservation and/or educating the youth.
Various youth organizations, such as the Russian scouts in exile became functional in raising children with a background in pre-Soviet Russian culture and heritage.
The White émigrés, acting to preserve their church from Soviet influence, formed the Russian Orthodox Church Abroad in 1924.
The church continues its existence to this day, acting as both the spiritual and cultural center of the Russian Orthodox community abroad.
On May 17, 2007, the Act of Canonical Communion with the Moscow Patriarchate reestablished canonical ties between the Russian Orthodox Church Abroad and the Russian Church of the Moscow Patriarchate, after more than eighty years of separation.

Instrumentation is the science of measuring and controlling variables.
Variables are anything that can affect or change other things.
Instrumentation can be used to make processes faster or more efficient, meaning they use less effort, energy or money to produce the same results.
The science of instrumentation involves figuring out the best way to measure or control something, building the machine or tools, and checking if the results are good and true.
It may also include setting up and using the machine or tools.
An instrument is a tool used to measure and control the variables that affect a process.
Here are some variables that people use instrumentation to measure and control:
pressure, which is the weight that air or water surrounding something has
temperature, which is how hot or cold things are
electric current, which is how many electrons are moving through something
voltage, which is the steepness of the moving electrons
inductance
capacitance
frequency, which is how fast or how often something happens
electrical resistance, which is how hard it is for electrons to move through something
conductivity, which is how easily an object allows electrons to pass through it
density, which is how much mass something has for its volume, or how heavy it is for its size
viscosity, which is how thick a liquid or other fluid is
Two examples of instruments are valves and flame detectors.
A valve is a controlling instrument that controls the flow of fluids, which can be gases, liquids, or other fluids.
A flame detector is a measurement instrument that detects a flame by analyzing the light.
Instrumentation engineering
The engineering behind instrumentation deals with mechanics and use of measuring instruments.
Instrumentation engineers usually work in industries with automated processes.
For example, chemical and manufacturing plants often have robots and other machines doing a lot of the work.
Instrumentation engineers try to make things more safe, productive and stable.
They sometimes use computers.
Netbook, the word made by Intel company in February 2008, means cheap, smaller size of laptop much easier to move.
It is a kind of computer that does basic jobs like web surfing and word processing.
Netbook device is normally built for CPU that uses lower power, like the Intel Atom.
Now there are many netbooks such as hp-mini and Asus Eee PC.
More than 50 million netbooks will be released by 2011.
The concept of netbook is originated from subnotebooks.
The word Netbook was introduced by Psion in 1999 and introduced again by Intel in 2008.
In 2007, Asus present the ASUS Eee PC range running a Linux on a 7 inch color screen.
The Eee PC has been a top seller on Amazon.com and is often sold out in stores.
The Eee's success is attributed to the relatively low-price (around $350/£230/€300) compared with standard-sized laptops. (
above $1000 at that time)
In middle of February 2008, Everex released its VIA chipset based on CloudBook, running gOS.
Unlike its rival, the Eee PC, the CloudBook uses a hard-disk.
In June 2008, MSI launched the MSI Wind PC, with features such as Bluetooth and a 10" LED, backlit, 1024x600 screen.
This new laptop is the first built with Intel Atom low power technology and competes with the HP 2133 Mini-Note PC which has a 8.9" screen.

Indus Valley
The Indus Valley Civilization was an old civilization of Ancient India.
It lasted from 3000 to 1500BC.
Archeologists found some female figures at some places of this civilization.
Some persons believe that these figures show the worship of goddess at that time.
Some learned persons think that people of that time worshipped a mother goddess.
This was similar to worship of a mother goddess in the Mediterranean.
The Vedic period or Vedic civilization of India was a very old civilization.
