La Llorona is a well known Mexican folk tale that originated in the 1800s to early 1900s.(The La Llorona tale actually dates back to the conquistadores and is thought to have originated in prehispanic times.
A more complete and accurate article about La Llorona can be found in regular wikipedia.)
Although several variations exist, the most basic story tells of a beautiful woman by the name of Maria who drowns her children in the river out of rage because her husband left her for a younger woman.
She soon comes to her senses and regrets her decision to kill her children, so she drowns herself in a river in Latin America.
She then becomes stuck between the physical and spiritual world on an eternal search for her children, not permitted to enter heaven without them.
Her incessant weeping throughout the night gives her the title "La Llorona" (The Weeping Woman).
Parents often use this story to prevent their children from wandering out at night.
In some versions of this tale and legend, La Llorona will kidnap wandering children who resemble her missing children, asking her children for forgiveness and drowning these other children to take their place but they never forgive her yet  still she keeps trying.
People who claim to have seen her say she appears at night, or in the late evenings from rivers or lakes throughout Latin America.
Some believe that those who hear the wails of La Llorona are marked for death.
She is said to cry,"¡Ay, mis hijos!" (
Oh, my children!).
A movie about the folk tale titled The Curse of La Llorona was released in April 2019.
The Guri Dam, officially called the Simón Bolívar Hydroelectric Plant, is a dam in Bolívar State, Venezuela.

Mark Twain National Forest  (MTNF) is a US National Forest.
It is mainly in the southern half of Missouri.
The MTNF was established on September 11, 1939.
The MTNF covers ,  of which are wilderness, and National Wild and Scenic River area.
MTNF spans 29 counties.
It represents 11% of all forested land in Missouri.
MTNF is divided into six distinct ranger districts: "Ava-Cassville-Willow Springs", "Eleven Point", "Houston-Rolla-Cedar Creek", "Poplar Bluff", "Potosi-Fredericktown", and the "Salem.
The six ranger districts actually cover nine overall unique tracts of forests.
The headquarters of the MTNF are in Rolla, Missouri.
Some unique features of the Mark Twain include Greer Spring.
It is the largest spring on National Forest land.
It is part of the Eleven Point National Scenic River.
The spring pumps an average of 214 million gallons of water per day into the river.
The public can also visit the Glade Top Trail National Scenic Byway, which offers views of over  to the Boston Mountains in Arkansas.
Part of the Ozark Trail system winds through the National Forest.
The Mark Twain National Forest was created on February 17, 1976.
The present day MTNF was once two different national forests, the "Clark National Forest" and the "Mark Twain National Forest".
Both were proclaimed on September 11, 1939.
In June 1973 the Clark and Mark Twain NF were brought under one headquarters.
This was in Rolla and became known as the "National forests in Missouri".
On Feb. 17, 1976, the forests were combined and renamed the Mark Twain National Forest.
In the 1870s logging of the state's native oak, hickory, and pine forests began.
Sawmills were common, but by the 1920s they had disappeared.
By then so had much of the state's native forests.
In 1939 President Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed the MTNF into existence.
In March 1933, he also created the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC).
In the area that would later become Mark Twain National Forest, hundreds of young men at over fifty CCC sites worked at building roads and planting hundreds of acres of pine trees.
Many of their contributions can still be visited and enjoyed today.
The Mark Twain is Missouri’s only national forest.
It includes roughly 1.5 million acres, mostly within the Ozark Highlands.
Located across southern Missouri and northern Arkansas, the Ozark Highlands are an ancient landscape.
They have large permanent springs.
The area has over 5,000 caves.
It is made up of old volcanic mountains with many nationally recognized streams.
Parts of the Ozarks were never under oceans or glaciers.
There are over 750 miles of hiking trails.
About 200 miles out of a planned 500 mile Ozark trail have been completed.
When finished it will connect St. Louis to the border of Arkansas.
There it will connect with the Ozark Highlands Trail in northwest Arkansas.
When completed the trail will be over 1,000 miles long.
It will run from St. Louis, Missouri to Lake Fort Smith State Park, near Fort Smith, Arkansas.

The Rus () were an early medieval group or people who gave their name to the lands of Russia, Ruthenia, and Belarus.
In the mid-800s they were centered around Novgorod.
They dominated the area for over a hundred years.
Many of the leaders of the Rus had Scandinavian names, later both Scandinavian and Slavic names.
The Varangian Ruses of Novgorod, intermingled (mixed) with the Slavs of Kiev and it became known Kievan Rus'.
Most western scholars believe them to be a group of Varangians, specifically from Pomerania.
According to the Povest vremennykh let or Russian Primary Chronicle of Rus', compiled in about 1113 AD, the Rus' had relocated from Pomerania.
Their leader was named Rurik.
Later, Rurik's relative Oleg captured Kiev, founding Kievan Rus'.
The descendants of Rurik were the ruling dynasty of Rus' (after 862).
In the controversy, this is called the "Normanist" view.
There are also those who believe the Rus came from Sweden or Rothi or Roslagen as it is known today.
The "anti-Normanist" view is that the Rus' were Slavic people from south of Kiev.
In support of this theory it has been pointed out that several rivers have similar names.
Once example is the Ros river which is a tributary of the Dnieper river.
This may have been where the Rus' took their name.
The official Soviet Union history did not include the "anti-norman" viewpoint giving the reason: "The Normanist theory is politically harmful, because it denies the ability of the Slavic nations to form an independent state by their own efforts."
The story from the Russian Primary Chronicle is that the Slavs of Kiev were fighting among themselves.
To restore order they invited the legendary Varangian Rus Rurik to be their leader.
This is another area of controversy.
One school of thought accepts the Russian Primary Chronicle account with the Norman origin of the Rus' people.
The opposing view says the Scandinavians played a small part in the creation of the Kievan Rus.
The Scandinavians were simply hired by the Slavs to protect them.
Since the 1990s there has been a further controversy over who, Russia or Ukraine, had a better claim to be descended from the Kievan Rus princes.
Since the breakup of the USSR Russian historians are not forced to accept the anti-Norman theory.
Another version is possible in this comment by scholars on De Administrando Imperio, by the Byzantine Emperor Constantine VII (913-959):
Common threads
It was at this point in history the area of Kiev grew and expanded.
The Kievan state lasted about a hundred years, until about 972.
Between 839 and 1043 the Balto Slavs combined with the South Slavic peoples to form a new society.
The name Rus came to mean those combined peoples.
In 860 the Byzantine Patriarch Photios I described a people who were almost certainly Rani accompanied by Slavs.
The leaders of the Rus had Balto Slavic names even into the tenth century.
In 911 the Rus who signed a treaty with the Greeks all had Balto Slavic names.
But in the treaty of 945 there were some South Slavonic names.
The word "Rus' is found in the slavonic languages.
This parallels with ,  and .
Words used to describe Pomeranians in Russia or the east were Veneti or Rujan (in medieval Latin literature known as Ruzzi ).

Dovrefjell is a mountain range which forms a natural barrier between Southern Norway and the Trøndelag region.
In 1974 the Norwegian government established a national park measuring 256 square kilometers, to protect its beautiful nature and the rich plant and animal life.
The size was increased in 2002 to 1693 square kilometers to cover a larger portion of the mountain range.
The highest mountain peak in the range is Snøhetta.
It is 2,286 meters above sea level.
There was once a gold mine on the mountain but it closed at the end of the 17th century.
The main south-north highway (European route E6) in Norway and a railway both travel over Dovrefjell.
The highway is open all year, but is sometimes closed for short periods during heavy winter snowfall.
The railway line is named Donvrebane and it began operating in 1921.

Animal fibres
Plant fibres
Fibres from plants include flax, ramie, hemp, cotton and jute.
Coconut trees bear coconut fruits that have fibres.
Coconut fibres are cleaned, smoothed and made into various dolls and toys with beads and colored threads to give them a decorative appearance.
Synthetic fabrics are fabrics manufactured in factories using chemical synthesis.
They are also known as artificial or man-made fabrics.
These include nylon, polyester, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and rayon.
Synthetic fibers are made by the joining of monomers into polymers, by the process of polymerization.
Threshing is the process of separating the edible part of cereal grain (or other crop) from the scaly, inedible chaff that surrounds it.
It is the step in grain processing after harvesting and before winnowing.
Early threshing methods removed some of the bran but modern methods do not.
Threshing may be done by beating the grain using a flail on a threshing floor.
Another traditional method of threshing is to make donkeys or oxen walk in circles on the grain on a hard surface.
It is made up of many different religious buildings, including an Orthodox church, a mosque and a synagogue.
It was started in 1992 by local artist and philanthropist Ildar Khanov.
It is still under construction.
The structure is not a single temple devoted to any religion in particular.
It has become a popular landmark in the city, which takes pride in the peaceful combination of different cultures (Islamic Tatar culture, Orthodox Russian, and others).
The Temple is visited both by tourists and by people seeking Khanov's help.

Gud sign vår Konge god!
Sign ham med kraft og mot
sign hjem og slott!
Lys for ham ved din Ånd,
knytt med din sterke hånd
hellige troskapsbånd
om folk og drott!
2nd verse
Høyt sverger Norges mann
hver i sitt kall, sin stand,
troskap sin drott.
Trofast i liv og død,
tapper i krig og nød,
alltid vårt Norge lød
Gud og sin drott.

A transfer case is a part of the drivetrain of four-wheel drive, all-wheel drive, and other multiple powered axle vehicles.
Typically a transfer case is used to engage (and disengage) the four-wheel drive function.
When disengaged, most four-wheel drive systems operate in two wheel drive (engaging just the rear axle and wheels).
For that reason two-wheel drive vehicles do not need a transfer case.
The transfer case transfers the power from the transmission to the front and rear axles by means of drive shafts.
The transfer case synchronizes the rotation of the front and rear wheels so they turn at exactly the same speed.
It usually contains two or more sets of gears.
It has a 1:1 ratio drive (usually called high range) for normal city and highway use.
Then it contains a low range gear for off-road use.
A common low range gear ratios is 2.72:1.
That means for every 2.72 rotations of the transmission output shaft, the transfer case will turn both driveshafts 1 rotation.
The Jeep Wrangler Rubicon model uses a 4:1 low range gearing.
Drive types
Gear-driven
Gear-driven transfer cases use sets of gears to transmit power to the front and rear driveshafts.
These are generally strong, heavy units that are used in large trucks.
There are currently gear drive cases in production for light trucks and SUVs.
Chain-driven
Chain-driven transfer cases use a chain to transmit power to the axles.
Chain-driven transfer cases are quieter,  lighter and less expensive to manufacture than gear-driven units.
They are used in vehicles such as compact trucks, full size trucks, Jeeps and SUVs.
Some off-road driving enthusiasts modify their vehicles to use gear-driven transfer casesto gain the extra strength they provide.

And it is puzzling, and ultimately draining, to see a film that waves the flag of honesty—Face your demons!
Speak from your heart!
Open up!—turn out to be so phony."
