In Anatolian mythology, Cybele was the personification of the earth.
She was the goddess of nature, fertility, mountains, and wild animals.
She is often represented sitting on a throne, flanked by two lions, and wearing a mural crown.
In Phrygian myth, she was born a hermaphroditic being named Agdistis, a child of Zeus and Gaia.
Cybele had a shepherd consort named Attis, and a priesthood of eunuchs called the Galli.
Her cult was adopted by the Greeks and later by the Romans.
Zeus let fall in his sleep seed upon the Earth, which in course of time gave birth to an androgynous being, born both male and female, whom they called Agdistis.
But the gods, fearing Agdistis, cut off the male organ.
The blood fertilized the soil and there grew up from it an almond-tree.
A daughter of the river Sangarius picked an almond and laid it in her bosom, where the almond disappeared.
She then had a child, a baby boy named Attis.
Her orgiastic cult dominated the central and north-western districts of Asia Minor, and was introduced into Greece via the island of Samothrake and the Boiotian town of Thebes.
Cybele was closely associated with a number of Greek goddesses, firstly Rhea, the Greek mother of the gods (Meter Theon), but sometimes also Demeter (especially in the Samothrakian cult), Aphrodite (on Mount Ida) and Artemis (in Karia).
Her main cult followers were the Galli, these were eunuch priests of a feminine nature, who celebrated her festivals with wild dancing, self-laceration, and self-scourging.

In Anatolian mythology, Attis was the eunuch consort of the goddess Cybele.
He was the son of Nana, the daughter of the river god Sangarius.
Attis died after being castrated and was resurrected by Cybele.
He was a god of vegetation and represented the fruits of the earth, which died in winter and grew back again in the spring.
He is often shown wearing a Phrygian cap on his head.
The cult of Cybele and Attis was adopted by the Greeks and later by the Romans.
In Anatolian, Greek and Roman mythology, Agdistis was a hermaphroditic being, and symbolized the wild and uncontrolled powers of nature.
She is the personification of a mountain of the same name in Phrygia.
She was born after Zeus accidentally impregnated the earth goddess Gaia.
The gods feared Agdistis because she held all the powers of creation within her body.
Dionysus tricked her into castrating herself, and from then on she was known as the goddess Cybele.
The blood from her severed gentials fertilized the earth, and from that spot an almond tree grew.
One day the nymph Nana picked an almond from the tree, and held it against her chest, the almond vanished and she became pregnant with Attis.
Some ancient writers say Agdistis is the same as Cybele, and worshiped under that name.
In many ancient inscriptions, Agdistis is clearly separate from Cybele, but in many others she is listed as an epithet of Cybele.
Although primarily an Anatolian goddess, the cult of Agdistis covered a lot of territory.
By 250 BC it had spread to Egypt, and later to Attica, Rhamnus around 80 BC (where there was a sanctuary of Agdistis), and later in Lesbos and Panticapeum.
The Galli (singular: Gallus) were eunuch priests of the goddess Cybele or Agdistis.
They were temple attendants sometimes wandering the streets begging for charity, and in return they told people's fortunes.
The Galli wore feminine clothing and grew their hair long, wearing earrings, necklaces, and heavy make-up.
At festivals to Cybele and Attis they danced around wildly to loud music and whipped themselves until they bled.
The newcomers to the priesthood would voluntarily castrate themselves.
Archigallus
In Rome, the head of the galli was known as the Archigallus.
A number of archaeological finds depict the Archigallus wearing luxurious and extravagant costumes.
The Archigallus was always a Roman citizen chosen by Rome's college of priests, and the term of service lasted for life.
Along with the institution of the Archigallus came the Phrygianum sanctuary and the rite of the taurobolium, two aspects of the Cybele cult which the Archigallus had responsibility, as well as presiding over the Galli priests.
Demchok or "New Demchok" is a small village and military encampment in the Indian-administered part of the disputed Demchok sector south of Aksai Chin, in the Ladakh district of Kashmir.
The Line of Actual Control (LAC) passes along the southeast side of the village, following a wadi just upstream from the nearby Indus River.
Across the wadi, less than a kilometer away, is the Chinese-administered village, called Dêmqog, in the Ngari Prefecture within Tibet.
This village was on an old route linking Ladakh and Tibet, currently closed.
The village lies 36.5 km east of Ukdungle.
Though the Kailash Mansarovar is 300 km away, the route there is mostly through plains  and there is demand to improve and open a road linking China and Northern Pakistan through Demchok.
Islamabad says that this is part of China, however India rejects this and claims the territory to be part of New Delhi's administration.

was the name for ancient regions of Japan starting in the Asuka period.
Imperial government of Japan was divided into large regions made up of several provinces.
The Gokishichidō counted the five provinces in the  or capital area as one region.
In addition, there were seven  in an organizational system which was imported from China in the 7th century.
Each of the "circuits" or do was a region which had several provinces within it.
Over centuries, the government functions of the Gokishichido became less important.
However, the traditional  remained cultural markers.
Under the Gokishichido system, the central provinces were considered to be a core region.
These lands are called the Kansai region or Kinki or Kinai.
The five provinces included:
Izumi Province, now the southern part of Osaka Prefecture
Kawachi Province, now the southeastern part of Osaka Prefecture
Settsu Province, now the northern part of Osaka Prefecture, including the city of Osaka, and parts of Hyōgo Prefecture
Yamato Province, now Nara Prefecture
Yamashiro Province, now the southern part of Kyoto Prefecture, including the city of Kyōto
Under the Gokishichido system, there were seven roads which connected the imperial capital with all of the provincial capitals.
The land around each of the roads was called by the same name as the road, including
Hokurikudō, northeast along the coast of the Sea of Japan
Nankaidō, southern side of the Seto Inland Sea
Saikaidō, the southern islands
San'indō, west coast of the Sea of Japan
San'yōdō, northern side of the Seto Inland Sea
Tōkaidō, east coast of the Pacific Ocean
Tōsandō, northeast through the Japanese Alps

The biological species concept gives an explanation of how species form (speciation).
A biological species is a group of individuals that can breed together (panmixia).
However, they cannot breed with other groups.
In other words, the group is reproductively isolated from other groups.
"The words 'reproductively isolated' are the key words of the biological species definition".
Ernst Mayr.p273
According to Ernst Mayr, a new species forms when an existing species splits.
A similar idea had been suggested in the 19th century by Moritz Wagner.
Dobzhansky described the role of reproductive isolation in the formation of new species.
Once a species lives in two different areas, the geographical isolation makes breeding between the groups reduce or stop.
Each group develops features which make breeding between them work less well.
Eventually, each group becomes a 'good' biological species, because the two species do not reproduce with each other even when they are together.
This is still considered the most common reason for species splitting, and has the technical name of allopatric speciation.
It is contrasted with sympatric speciation where speciation takes place even though all the members live in the same area.
Its role in taxonomy
The biological species is the main reason for classifying living things, but applying it in practice is not easy.
Good examples of this are the following:
"Lack of mating, sterility or inviability in inter-strain crosses has never been taken on its own as good evidence of separate species, including even Dobzhansky's own studies of sibling Drosophila species".
"The biological species concept has no bearing on asexual organisms, and has severe limitations in its application to other organisms.
Endless time and effort can be expended on discussing the species concept, and devising yet further modifications and variations on proposed specific definitions.
Such debates have great merit in encouraging more objective reasoning about evolution and taxonomy but, in the meantime, human predation and destruction of habitat continue to erase the subject species.
Time is against us... Different species concepts produce [groups of subspecies], so it is futile to contemplate a definitive taxonomic system".
Historical developments
In 1686 John Ray introduced a non-evolutionary biological concept.
To him, species were distinguished by always producing the same species, and this was fixed and permanent, though considerable variation was possible within a species.
The idea of a species as a physical type of organism had a long history.
This survives as the concept of a type specimen in taxonomy.
It was the way Linnaeus worked in his binomial classification, and is still useful for amateur naturalists today.
In the Origin, Charles Darwin said that species were labels which experts gave on the basis of their observations.
"... I look at the term species as one arbitrarily given for the sake of convenience to a set of individuals closely resembling each other...".
But twenty years before, he had a much better idea.
He thought of species as maintained by reproductive isolation.
He even says "Hence species may be good ones and differ scarcely at all in any external character".
Here he quotes the two sibling species of leaf warbler discovered in England by Gilbert White in 1768.
At this early stage in his career, Darwin came very close to the modern biological species concept.p266
The first is the population genetics concept.
This is where a species is seen as a group which can mate together even though they are all to some extent different.
It amounts to saying that a species is a gene pool.
The second is the use of DNA sequence analysis to show whether similar-looking species are genetically different from each other.
This is especially useful when it is not practical to do breeding experiments.
Sibling species are often called cryptic (hidden) species because their differences can only be seen by analysing their DNA.
They are very common in the marine environment.
Many cryptic species exist in all habitats.
In the marine bryozoan Celleporella hyalina, DNA sequence analysis was used to show that more than ten ecologically distinct species that had been diverging for many millions of years.
Evidence from the identification of cryptic species means that older estimates of global species richness are too low.
For example, mitochondrial DNA research suggests there are at least 11 genetically distinct populations of giraffes.
Similarly, the Amazonian frog Eleutherodactylus ockendeni is at least three different species which diverged over 5 million years ago.
Kyushu-Palau Ridge (KPR) is an ocean floor feature in the Philippine Sea.
It is named after the nearby islands.
At the northern end is the Japanese island of Kyushu.
At the southern end is the Pacific island nation of Palau.
The ridge creates a line on the ocean floor which runs southeast in the direction of the island of Palau.

A seamount is a mountain rising from the ocean sea floor.
It does not reach to the water's surface (sea level), and so is not an island.
These are usually formed from submarine volcanoes.
They are usually 1,000–4,000 metres (3,000–13,000 ft) in height from the sea floor.
The peaks are often found hundreds to thousands of metres below the surface, and so are in the deep sea.
There are an estimated 100,000 seamounts around the globe, but only a few have been studied.
Seamounts come in all shapes and sizes, and follow a distinctive pattern of growth, activity, and death.
In recent years, several active seamounts have been observed, for example Loihi seamount in the Hawaiian–Emperor seamount chain.
Over time, the largest seamounts may reach the sea surface.
There wave action erodes the summit to form a flat surface.
After they have subsided and sunk below the sea surface such flat-top seamounts are called "guyots" or "tablemounts".
Seamounts are one of the most common oceanic ecosystems in the world.
Interactions between seamounts and underwater currents attract plankton, corals, fish, and cetacea alike.
Their effect has been noted by the commercial fishing industry, and many seamounts support extensive fisheries.
There are concerns about the effect of fishing on seamount ecosystems.
There are well-documented cases of stock decline.
95% of ecological damage is done by bottom trawling, which literally scrapes whole ecosystems off seamounts.
Most seamounts are not yet to be studied, or even mapped.
Bathymetry and satellite altimetry are two technologies used to collect data.
There have been instances where naval vessels have collided with uncharted seamounts.
The Muirfield seamount is named after the ship that struck it in 1973.
However, the greatest danger from seamounts are flank collapses.
As they get older, water eats away at their sides.
This causes landslides which, in turn, may cause massive tsunamis.

Hazelnuts are nuts of the hazel genus of tree; they are also called cob nuts and filbert nuts.
Filbert nuts are more elongated (twice as long as they are round).
These nuts fall from their husks when ripe (that is, seven to eight months past pollination).
Hazelnuts are oftentimes used as livestock feed or ground into paste.
Hazelnut is produced especially in Greece, Turkey, Italy and the U.S. states Washington and Oregon.
Hazelnuts are also used alongside chocolate for chocolate truffles.
Moreover, hazelnut are rich in proteins and unsaturated fats.
Hazelnuts can also be used to make hazelnut butter.

The classic case is Drosophila pseudoobscura and D. persimilis.
They are almost identical, but if flies from one species are put with flies from the other species, they do not interbreed.
Another example was the European mosquito known as Anopheles maculipennis''.
This turned out to be a cluster of six different species, some of which transmit malaria, and some do not.

Planning is the way most organizations work to do big projects.
It is thinking about what needs to happen, and then making a detailed plan.
It may include a schedule.
All humans plan to some extent: it is a fundamental property of intelligent behaviour.
In big organisations and government planning is a main activity.
It combines forecasting  developments with scenarios of how to react to them.
Forecasting is predicting what the future will look like, whereas planning predicts what the future should look like.
The "nuts and bolts" of planning are the documents, diagrams, and meetings, the objectives and the strategy to be followed.
Beyond this, planning has a different meaning depending on the context in which it is used.
John Wright Hickenlooper (born February 7, 1952) is an American politician.
He is the junior United States Senator from Colorado since 2021.
He was the 42nd Governor of Colorado from January 11, 2011 to January 8, 2019.
Hickenlooper is a Democrat.
He was the mayor of Denver, Colorado from 2003 to 2011.
Hickenlooper announced his candidacy for President of the United States on March 4, 2019.
He ended his campaign on August 15, 2019.
A few days later, he announced his candidacy for the United States Senate challenging incumbent Senator Cory Gardner.
In June 2020, he won the Democratic nomination for the U.S. Senate race.
In November 2020, he won the election.
Hickenlooper was born in Narberth, Pennsylvania.
He was raised by his mother after his father died young.
He is a graduate of Wesleyan University.
At Wesleyan, he earned a B.A. in English in 1974 and a master’s degree in geology in 1980.
Before becoming mayor in July 2003, he was a geologist and then a businessperson.
Hickenlooper owned several restaurants in the late 1980s.
He was one of the founders of the original Wynkoop Brewing Company brewpub.
Campaign for the homeless
Hickenlooper has wanted more homeless services since becoming mayor in 2003.
He talked about his "10 year plan to end homelessness" at the U.S. Conference of Mayors in Washington, D.C..
Marijuana legalization
In 2006, Denver became the first major American city to make legal the private use of marijuana by people over age 21.
Hickenlooper was against the marijuana legalization initiative.
When the voters approved it 53.49%-46.51%, he said that the vote "reflect[s] a genuine shift in people's attitudes."
Currently the Denver Police say the initiative does not overrule the state law, the Colorado Revised Statutes (CRS).
Hickenlooper agrees with the Denver Police.
The CRS currently treats marijuana possession much like driving faster than the speed limit.
The penalty is fines of up to $100 and no jail time.
Hickenlooper formally announced his candidacy for President of the United States on March 4, 2019.

Gradualism is a process of change by gradual, slow stages.
In politics, it is the opposite of revolutions and rapid change. "
Gradualism is... sometimes associated with social democracy".
In geology it is in tune with uniformitarianism, and against catastrophism.
In biology it is in tune with Darwinian ideas of slowly changing species as opposed to big, rapid changes
Politics and society
Gradualism is one of the defining features of political liberalism and reformism.
It is against abrupt strokes such as revolutions or uprisings.
Instead, change ought to be brought about in small, discrete steps.
Martin Luther King, Jr. was opposed to the idea of gradualism as a method of eliminating segregation.
The government wanted to try to integrate African-Americans and European-Americans slowly into the same society, but many believed it was a way for the government to put off actually doing anything about racial segregation:
This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism.
Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy.—
Martin Luther King Jr.'s I Have a Dream speech, delivered August 28, 1963 at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC
Charles Lindblom was an influential professor and author who believed in muddling through ("incrementalism") as the right way to go.
He pointed out the connexions between the political system, the market-place and democratic freedom.
Geology and biology
In the natural sciences, gradualism is a theory that profound change is the product of slow but continuous processes.
It is often contrasted with catastrophism.
Gradualism was proposed in 1795 by James Hutton to explain geology, and was later was the basis for Charles Lyell's Principles of Geology.
William Whewell called the idea 'uniformitarianism'.
It formed the basis of early evolutionary theory.
Charles Darwin was influenced by Lyell's Principles of Geology.
Everything we see from the past is explained by processes we can see going on today.
The present is key to the past.
So Darwin thought evolutionary must occur gradually, not in jumps ('saltations'), since we do not see big changes going on today.
Extreme and rapid changes in an organism would be most likely to be fatal.
It is almost universally agreed that complex organs such as the eye must have evolved by many small steps rather than by one or two mutations.
"Phyletic gradualism" is a term coined by Stephen Jay Gould and Niles Eldredge to contrast with their model of punctuated equilibrium.
They proposed that most evolution is marked by long periods of evolutionary stability or stasis, punctuated by rare instances of branching evolution.
Their idea is less accepted today.

Subdivisions of Japan
is a Japanese term for an ancient division of the country and the main road running through the region.
Hokurikudō was one of the main circuits of the Gokishichidō system.
However, the traditional eight regions, including Hokurikudō, remained cultural markers.
The Hokurikudō road connected the capitals of the provinces in this region.
When the Gokishichidō system was initially established after the Taika reforms, the region consisted of just two provinces: Wakasa and Koshi.
During the reign of Emperor Temmu, Koshi was divided into three provinces: Echizen, Etchū and Echigo and Sado Island was added as a fifth province.
Later, Noto and Kaga were carved out of Echizen.
Hokurikudō has parts of seven ancient provinces.

Vigevano (Avgevan in the local variety of Western Lombard) is a town and comune (township) in the province of Pavia, Lombardy, northern Italy, which has many treasures and a huge industrial business.
It is in the middle of a district called Lomellina, a great rice-growing centre.
Vigevano received the honorary title of city with a declaration of Duke Francis II Sforza on February 2, 1532.
Vigevano is well known for its beautiful Renaissance "Piazza Ducale", in the middle of the town.
Vigevano was a Ghibelline township, favoring the Emperor and was therefore invaded and taken by the Milanese in 1201 and again in 1275.
In 1328 it finally gave itself up to Azzone Visconti, after which it shared the fortunes of Milan.
The Church of S. Pietro Martire (St. Peter Martyr) was built, with the neighbouring Dominican convent, by Filippo Maria Visconti in 1445.
In the last years of Visconti's control it kept a siege by Francesco Sforza.
Once he was settled in power in Lombardy, Sforza secured the erection of Vigevano as the seat of a bishop and provided its revenues.
