Sunspot activity and solar flares can interfere with shortwave reception, and different frequencies work better at different times during the day or year.
Since their beginning in the early days of radio, shortwave stations have carried news and cultural information about the station's locality or country of origin.
Many governments or national news agencies have shortwave stations, that broadcast in both English and their native languages, so they can inform both non-natives and natives about things in their country.
Some broadcast in several different languages, to reach a wider listening audience.
Some of these stations are Voice of America, BBC World Service, Deutsche Welle, and Voice of Russia.
Shortwave stations may also be run by private companies or groups.
Some broadcast religious programming.
HCJB and WEWN include actual church services in their programs.
Others may broadcast weather or time information.
WWV and WWVH give the current Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) at 2.500, 5.000, 10.000, and 15.000 megahertz.
WWV is also on 20.000 megahertz.
A few stations are unlicensed, and their operators are called "pirates".
Pirate stations may not broadcast regularly, or from the same location each time.
They may carry music not played by other stations, and express unpopular opinions.
Government authorities work to stop these stations, because they are not licensed and interfere with licensed ones.
Shortwave listenership has lessened with the rise of the Internet, but is still important to people worldwide, especially in areas the Internet and computer technology have not yet reached.
Many longtime stations now stream their programming over the Internet, as audio feeds or podcasting, along with their radio broadcasts.

Placebo is an alternative rock band that started in London in 1994.
The band currently has Brian Molko (lead vocals, guitar, harmonica, keyboards, saxophone), Stefan Olsdal (bass, guitar, keyboards, back-up vocals) and Steve Forrest (drums, percussion, back-up vocals) as members.
A Kate Bush cover, "Running Up That Hill" is one of their most popular songs.
Placebo’s sixth studio album, Battle for the Sun, was released on June 8th, 2009.
Recorded over three months at Metal Works Studios in Toronto with producer David Bottrill and mixed in London by My Bloody Valentine, Smashing Pumpkins and Nine Inch Nails producer Alan Moulder, Battle for the Sun is a startling, alive, vital and boundary-vaulting Placebo record.
It is, according to Brian Molko, “not hard rock and it’s not pop, it’s probably hard pop.
I think we’ve made a record which is almost the flipside of ‘Meds’.
We’ve made a record about choosing life, about choosing to live, about stepping out of the darkness and into the light.
Not necessarily turning your back on the darkness because it’s there, it’s essential; it’s a part of who you are, but more about the choice of standing in the sunlight instead.”
Java man is the name given to fossils discovered in 1891 at Trinil on the banks of the Bengawan Solo River in Eats Java, Indonesia, one of the first known specimens of Homo erectus.
Its discoverer, Eugène Dubois, gave it the scientific name Pithecanthropus erectus, a name derived from Greek and Latin roots meaning "upright ape-man".
Peking Man (currently Homo erectus pekinensis) is an example of Homo erectus.
The remains were first found between in 1923 and 1937 during excavations at Zhoukoudian near Beijing, in China.
In 2009 the finds were dated from roughly 750,000 years ago, and a new 26Al/10Be dating suggests they are in the range of 680,000–780,000 years old.
The original fossils disappeared in 1941, but casts and descriptions remain.
They show that this subspecies looked similar to modern humans and Neanderthals, and used stone tools.
Most likely fire was used, and it is currently unknown if interbreeding was between Homo erectus and Homo sapiens, and if this is an ancestor or member of the Denisovan peoples of East Asia.
No religious or symbolic findings are yet associated with this subspecies.
Followers of the Latter Day Saint Movement believe that Joseph Smith was visited by an angel who gave him the Golden Plates from which he translated the Book of Mormon, one of the faith's sacred texts.
They were found on September 22, 1823 on Cumorah hill in Manchester, New York.
Moroni is a character in the Book of Mormon that was the final member of his people before they were all killed.
Mormons believe that Moroni later appeared to Joseph Smith as an angel and gave him the Golden Plates from which Joseph translated the Book of Mormon.

Bavarian (also known as Austro-Bavarian;  ) is a major group of Upper German varieties.
They are called "upper" because they are spoken in Switzerland, Austria and southern Germany, which are mountainous.
Like standard German, Austro-Bavarian is a High German language, but they are not the same language.
However, Austro-Bavarian and Standard German have influenced each other and the vast majority of Austro-Bavarian speakers speak Standard German as well.
There are more variants of Bavarian.
The variants are Central Bavarian, Southern Bavarian, and Northern Bavarian.
The Austro-Bavarian language has its origins in the Germanic tribe known as the Bavarii, who established a tribal duchy, which covered much of what is today Bavaria and some of Austria in the early Middle Ages and was eventually subdued by Charlemagne.
However, they gradually migrated down the Danube and into the Alps to all those areas where Austro-Bavarian dialects are spoken.
In German, there is usually a difference made between "bairisch" (referring to the language) and "bayerisch" (referring to the state of Bavaria and used in the name of BMW).
Because of King Ludwig I's passion for everything Hellenic, the German name for Bavaria today is spelled "Bayern", while the language spoken there has retained its original spelling "Bairisch"—note the I versus the "Hellenic" Y.
Regions where people speak Bavarian
in Bavaria:
in Upper Bavaria
in Lower Bavaria
in the Upper Palatinate
in Austria:
in all parts of the country except the federal-state of Vorarlberg and parts of the Reutte District in Tirol, where an Alemannic dialect is spoken.
in the village of Samnaun, in Graubünden.
in Italy:
in all of the province of South Tyrol and by small German speaking communities in Trento, Veneto (Cimbrian language) and Friuli.
in Hungary:
the city of Sopron (Ödenburg) is officially bi-lingual.
The phoneme  is frequently realised as  or  word-internally and is realised as  word-initially.
Intervocalic  can be voiced to .
A trill sound  may also be realised as a tap sound [].
Intervocalic  or  sound can be realised as [] or [, ].
Some dialects, such as the Bavarian dialect in South Tyrol, realise  as an affricate  word-initially and before , which is an extension of the High German consonant shift to velar consonants.
Examples of Bavarian and Austrian
The Brahui () or Bravi () language, spoken by the Brahui, it is the only Dravidian language mainly spoken in Pakistan, although it is also spoken in Afghanistan and Iran.
The 2005 edition of Ethnologue reports some 2.2 million speakers, 90% of whom live in Pakistan.
In Pakistan it is mainly spoken in the Kalat region of Balochistan.
Brahui is often considered to be a remnant of a formerly more widespread Dravidian language family that was speculated to have reduced during the Indo-Aryan migration.
It is also sometimes speculated that Brahui might be a direct legacy of the Indus Valley Civilisation.
However, one polar opposite view is that Brahuis migrated up to Baluchistan in the 13 or 14th century or by a late immigration that took place after 1000 CE.
Burushaski () is a language isolate spoken by some 87,000 (as of 2000) Burusho people in the Hunza, Nagar, Yasin, and parts of the Gilgit valleys in the Northern Areas of Pakistan.
It is also spoken by some 300 speakers in Srinagar, Indian-administered Kashmir.
Other names for the language are Kanjut (Kunjoot), Werchikwār, Boorishki, Brushas (Brushias).
Today Burushaski contains many loanwords from Urdu (including English words received via Urdu) and from neighbouring Dardic languages such as Khowar and Shina, as well as a few from Turkic languages and from the neighboring Sino-Tibetan language Balti, but the original vocabulary remains largely intact.
The Dardic languages also contain large numbers of loanwords from Burushaski.
There are three dialects, named after the main valleys: Hunza, Nagar, and Yasin (also called Werchikwār).
The dialect of Yasin is thought to be the least affected by contact with neighboring languages and is generally less similar to the other two than those are to each other; nevertheless all three dialects are mutually intelligible.
Kho is a Dadikai language.
It is spoken by fewer than 1,000 people.
These people live in the upper Chitral District, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan.
Loanwords
Khowar has many loanwords taken from Hindustani, Persian, and Ghalchah.
It also has words from Sanskrit and Ancient Greek.
In the 19th century, when the area was conquered by Hindustanis, many words from the Hindustani languages entered Kho, like afas from the Hindustani aas, which means hope; ruphi from the Hindustani rukna.
which means to stop; usna from the Hindustani uthana, which means to lift up; and choghi from the Hindustani chori, which means to steal.

Dogri () is an Indo-Aryan Language.
Although formerly treated as a Punjabi dialect, Dogri is now considered to be a member of the Western Pahari group of languages.
It is spoken by about two million people in Jammu Kashmir region and Pakistan, chiefly in the Jammu region of Jammu and Kashmir, but also in northern Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, other parts of Indian controlled Kashmir, and elsewhere.
Dogri speakers are called Dogras, and the Dogri-speaking region is called Duggar.
Dogri is a member of the Western Pahari Group of languages.
The language is referred to as Pahari (पहाड़ी ) in the Pakistan's Punjab provincial region and Pakistan-administered Kashmir.
Unusually for an Indo-European language, Dogri is tonal, a trait it shares with other Western Pahari languages and Punjabi, of whom it is considered as a dialect.
It is the traditional tongue of the Dóoma (sg.
Dóom), a small ethnic group scattered in extended family units among larger host communities.
In former times, Domaaki speakers traditionally worked as blacksmiths and musicians, but nowadays they are also engaged in a variety of other professions.
In almost all places of their present settlement the Dooma, who are all Muslims, have long since given up their original mother tongue in favour of the language of their respective host community.
Only in the Nager and Hunza Valleys has Domaaki survived until the present day.
Following its geographic location, Domaaki can be divided into two dialects: Nager-Domaaki and Hunza-Domaaki.
Although there are considerable differences between these two varieties, they are not so severe as to prevent mutual intelligibility.
Presently Domaaki counts less than 350 (mostly elderly) speakers – ca.

There are 9,000 speakers of Gawar-Bati, but only 1,500 are in Pakistan.
The rest are in Afghanistan.
The Gawar-Bati Language has not been given study by serious linguists, except that it is mentioned by George Morgenstierne (1926) and Kendall Decker (1992).
It is classified as a Dardic Language but this is more of a geographical classification than a linguistic one.
These include Kalasha-mun, Palula, Dameli, Gawar-Bati, Nuristani, Yidgha, Burushaski, Gujar, Wakhi, Kyrgyz, Persian and Pashto.
Since many of these languages have no written form, letters are usually written in Urdu or Persian.

Team Aqua and Team Magma
Team Aqua and Team Magma are the two feuding crime syndicates in the Hoenn region and in the games Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald as well as their remakes Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
The teams Aqua and Magma did not play a part in the anime very much.
They are not Pokémon thieves, but they did fight against each other.
Team Magma's goal was to evaporate oceans and create more usable land for people and Pokémon, using Groudon to carry out their plans.
Team Aqua's goal was to flood the earth and create more water habitats for Pokémon, using Kyogre to do so.
When the two teams clashed and tried to use their legendary Pokémon to defeat each other, the resulting natural disaster almost caused an incident of mass destruction.
The teams disbanded soon afterward.
Aqua and Magma agents and the leaders, Archie, leader of Aqua, and Maxie, leader of Magma, play a part in Pokémon R/S/E. The agents are must be battled to get to their leaders.

Team Galactic
Team Galactic are the crime syndicate in the Sinnoh region, which is the setting of the video games Pokémon Diamond and Pearl.
The team is led by a man named Cyrus, who grew up in Sunyshore City and hated the company of both people and Pokémon, preferring the company of machines.
The team has three commanders: Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn.
Their goal is to create a new universe that they can control.
Many of the grunts have no idea of the real goal of Team Galactic.
Team Galactic has made several appearances in the anime.
All commanders and Cyrus have appeared.
Their goal is similar to the games.
Team Galactic's hunter, J, plays a part in the Diamond and Pearl series.
She tries to freeze Pokémon in a stone-like state, then steal them while they are powerless.
She stole Ash's Pikachu, Team Rocket's Meowth, and a trainer's Gardevoir; they were rescued later in the episode.
Gary and Ash teamed up to save four Shieldon that J was taking.
In Diamond and Pearl, they kidnap the legendary Lake Trio (Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf) and take crystals from them to create an item known as the Red Chain, which chains and controls a Pokémon, yet keeps their full power.
The player goes in Galactic's headquarters and defeats Cyrus, so he lets the player release the three after beating Saturn.
At the Spear Pillar, Cyrus uses the Red Chain to bring the legendary Pokémon Dialga (in Diamond) or Palkia (in Pearl) out, planning to use their power to create the new universe, over which he will be the new leader.
However, the Lake Trio come back to suppress the legendary's power and break the Red Chain, stopping Cyrus.
After this, and Cyrus's failure to defeat the player, most of Team Galactic leaves including Cyrus himself.
Only a handful remain in Veilstone City, led by Saturn, who has decided to found a new, better Team Galactic.
In Platinum, however, Team Galactic plans to get both legendaries of time and space, causing an enraged Giratina, the third Sinnoh deity who represents dimensions, chaos, and death.
The player will have to chase down Cyrus, now wanting the power of the before-unknown Giratina, to an eerie dimension known as the Distortion World, in which Giratina has lived for many ages.
Later in the game, it is revealed that Mars and Jupiter quit Team Galactic.
It also features a new Team Galactic member named Charon, who is arrested shortly after Mars and Jupiter quit.
Team Plasma
Team Plasma is the villainous team in the Unova region.

Ghetsis, one of Team Plasma's leaders, exploited the group in an attempt to rule Unova as the only one with Pokémon and formed Neo Team Plasma, Two years after Neo Team Plasma's defeat, the good Team Plasma returned with a new goal to rule Unova.
A small group from the original Team Plasma was still loyal to N, and took it upon themselves to take care of weakened Pokémon in the wild.

Eastern Francia () was the land of Louis the German after the Treaty of Verdun of 843.
That treaty divided Carolingian Empire of the Franks into an East, West, and Middle.
Over the centuries it changed into the Holy Roman Empire and modern Germany.
Until the beginning of the 12.
Century it was known as Francia Orientalis or the Kingdom of the East Franks.
If the beginning of the Holy Roman Empire is thought to have happened at the same time as the rise of the Ottonian dynasty, the kingdom of East Francia lasted from 843  to when Duke Henry I of Saxony became a monarch on in 919; or it could have began in 962, when Otto I the Great became a monarch (translatio imperii).
East Francia was divided into four duchies: Swabia (Alamannia), Franconia, Saxony and Bavaria (with Carinthia).
And after the death of Lothair II in 869, these were added the eastern parts of Lotharingia.
From the 10th century, East Francia was also known as Regnum Teutonicum ("Teutonic kingdom", "Kingdom of Germany"), a term in Salian times.

The word Querétaro dates back to pre-Hispanic times.
Some of the people who arrived in the area now occupied by the state gave it different names based on its geographic features.
The Tarascans of Michoacán called the spot now known as La Cañada, Crettaro or Queréndaro, which means the place of the crags; they probably gave it this name because there is lots of pink stone there.
The Otomíes called it Mxei, which means the place where the ballgame is played.
It was also called Ndamaxei, which means the great ballcourt; the Aztecs named it Tlaxco, which has the same meaning.
Finally, the Chichimecs called this spot Xico, which also means great ballcourt in their language; it received this name because the La Cañada area is shaped like an enormous pre-Hispanic ballcourt.

Khetrani is an Indo-Aryan language.
It is spoken in northeast Balochistan province (Pakistan).
About 4,000 people speak it.
It is member of Lahnda group.
It is related to Saraiki and to Sindhi.
The literacy rate for native speakers is below 1% and below 5% for those speaking it as a second language.
Ladakh ("land of high passes") is a region in northern India.
It is located between the Kunlun mountain range in the north and the main Himalayas to the south.
Ladakh is well-known for its remote mountain scenery.
It is inhabited by a mix of Indo-Aryan and Tibetan people.
Their language is an archaic dialect of the Tibetan language.
It is sometimes called "Little Tibet", because it has been strongly influenced by Tibetan culture.
Ladakh is one of the least populated regions in the area.
Historically, the region of Ladakh included neighbouring Baltistan, the Indus and Zanskar Valleys, Lahaul and Spiti, Aksai Chin and the Nubra Valley.
The modern region borders Tibet to the east, Lahaul and Spiti to the south, and Kashmir, Jammu and Baltistan to the west.
In the past, Ladakh was important for trade.
It was where several important trade routes met.
However, China closed the border with Tibet in the 1960s, and since then, international trade has suffered.
Tourism is an exception, and it has been very important for Ladakh's economy since about 1974.
Because the wider region is a part of the Kashmir conflict, the Indian military has a strong presence in Ladakh.
The largest town in Ladakh is Leh.
Ladakh's most population are followers of Shia Islam and rest majority is Buddhists which are 35%of population.
Leh is followed by Kargil as the second largest town in Ladakh.
Some Ladakhi activists have in recent times called for Ladakh to be made into a union territory because of its religious and cultural differences with Kashmir, which is mostly Muslim.
Under Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act, 2019 Ladakh was declared as a separate union territory.
Ladakh is the highest plateau in the state of Jammu and Kashmir.
Much of it is over 3,000 m (9,800 ft) above sea level.
It spans the Himalayan and Karakoram mountain ranges and the upper Indus River valley.
The Indus is the most important part of Ladakh for its people.
Most major historical and current towns (Shey, Leh, Basgo and Tingmosgang) are located close to the Indus River.
The stretch of the Indus flowing through Ladakh is the only part of this river in India.
The river is sacred in Hindu religion and culture.
Like the land itself, the people of Ladakh are generally quite different from those of the rest of India.
The faces and physique of the Ladakhis, and the clothes they wear, are more akin to those of Tibet and Central Asia than of India.
The original population may have been Dards, an Indo-Aryan race down from the Indus and the Gilgit area
About 46% are Buddhist by faith.
Just over 47% are Muslim, and 6% are Hindu.
Kargil District is the only Muslim-majority district within Ladakh.
They traditionally lead a nomadic pastoral life.
About 90% of them depend on agriculture based on the Indus River for their livelihood.
Barley, wheat, buckwheat, peas, rapeseed and beans are the main agricultural products.
Apples and apricots are grown in warmer regions of low altitude.
Another occupation of the people is sheep-rearing.
The herdsmen are called Chang-pas.
They rear long-haired goats and sheep from whose under-fleece the famous Kashmiri Pashmina shawls are made.
Chang-pas live in tents and are nomadic, going from place to place in search of pastures.
The people are keenly interested in trade.
Wool, in raw form is their chief commercial product.
The men travel long distances, seeking favourable prices for their wares, which consist of salt, dry fruits and cultured pearls and semi-precious stones.
In return they get tea, tobacco, grain, sugar and other essential goods.
Playing polo on fast-racing ponies is the most popular entertainment in Ladakh.
The horse is not changed with each chukker (chukka) as in western style polo, but each player carries on with the same sturdy pony.
Primitive wooden balls are still used for the game, played on a rough, uneven pitch whose popularity persists in Ladakh.
Ladakh offers the hunters exotic hunts of the markhor, ibex, red bear, snow leopard, wild sheep, antelope, gazelle and marmot.
Ladakh is also rich in minerals like gold, copper and semi-precious stones.
Ladakh also offers the thrill of trekking and adventure to experienced mountain climbers with treks such as the Chadar Trek (also known as the frozen Zanskar river trek) and the Stok Kangri Trek (elevation 6,153 m, 20,182 ft) where mountaineers experience climbing the highest range in the Stok Range of the Himalayas
Flora and fauna of Ladakh
Ladakh is also known as land of high passes in India.
It has a greater diversity of animal and plants.
