# Mississippi Highway 371

**Mississippi Highway 371** (**MS 371**) is a 44-mile-long (71 km) state highway in northeastern Mississippi running from MS 6 near Amory to MS 4 near New Site. The highway has been in existence since 1950 but it has followed its current alignment since 1965.

## Route description

MS 371 begins in the community of Bigbee, about three miles (4.8 km) northwest of the city of Amory at MS 6. The two-lane highway heads north through mostly wooded area of northern Monroe County. At the community of Cason, MS 371 intersects MS 776, the unsigned former alignment of MS 6. The highway heads into Itawamba County, where it continues north through more wooded areas. At the community of Evergreen, MS 371 curves to the northwest, crosses into Lee County and turns back to the north in the community of Richmond. Through this area, agricultural fields begin to surround the road. MS 371 reaches the community of Mooreville at a four-way stop controlled intersection with MS 178.

North of this intersection, MS 371 makes a sweeping s-curve to reach an interchange with Interstate 22 (I-22) and U.S. Route 78 (US 78). The interchange, exit 94 along I-22, is a simple diamond interchange. Through the interchange, MS 371 is briefly a four-lane divided highway. The state highway continues towards the east, back into Itawamba County, towards the town of Mantachie, one of two incorporated towns through which MS 371 travels. MS 371 heads southwest-northeast through the town on Main Street passing through the main commercial district of the town. Towards the east side of town, MS 371 intersects MS 363. Continuing north, the highway passes in front of Mantachie High School. As it exits the town, MS 371 crosses Twentymile Creek and heads through the census designated place of Kirkville. North of Kirkville, MS 371 has a pair of quadrant interchanges with the Natchez Trace Parkway, each separated by about one-half mile (0.80 km), though either direction of the parkway is accessible from both interchanges. Between the two interchanges, MS 371 also intersects MS 370 at its eastern terminus.

Continuing north, MS 371 enters Prentiss County. It soon enters the town of Marietta. Through Marietta, the highway only passes a few homes and businesses. Near the center of town, it reaches the eastern terminus of MS 366 and western terminus of County Road 4050 (CR 4050) at a four-way stop. MS 371 heads north, passing the town hall before traveling through unincorporated areas again. At the settlement known as Hobo Station, MS 371 ends at an intersection with MS 4 adjacent to a gas station and general store.

## History

MS 371 first appeared on the Mississippi state map in the 1950 edition connecting Cason at MS 6 and Mooreville at US 78. However, a state-maintained road connecting the two communities had existed since 1940. A second segment of MS 371 was designated in 1956, running from Mantachie to US 45 in the Saltillo vicinity, generally following the route of MS 363. Also around this time, MS 363 followed the current routing of MS 371 from Mantachie to MS 4. By 1958, the two segments of the route were connected along an unpaved road from Mooreville to Mantachie. In 1960, a slight extension of the route was made at its southern end. MS 6 was relocated away from Cason, and MS 371 took over the 3.7-mile-long (6.0 km) north-south former segment of MS 6 between Bigbee and Cason. A swap of highways 363 and 371 north of Mantachie occurred between 1964 and 1965. MS 371 has remained on this alignment since then.

# Mirjana Lehner Dragić

**Mirjana Lehner Dragić** (Serbo-Croatian Cyrillic: Мирјана Лехнер Драгић; born July 28, 1936) is a Serbian painter.

## Biography

### Early days

Mirjana Lehner Dragić was born on July 28, 1936, in Belgrade, to Alfred and Mirjam Lehner. Her father was from Osijek, and her mother was a member of the known Bosnian Jewish family Papo. After the outbreak of the Second World War, she hid with her family in the countryside near Belgrade, then in the village of Vučak near Kruševac, and later fled to Sarajevo with her aunt. While Mirjana and her parents survived the Holocaust, almost her entire maternal family was taken to the Sajmište concentration and extermination camp. After the end of the war, Miriam Lehner could not accept the fact that she had lost almost all her family; she decided then to leave the Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia in the First Aliya in 1948, leaving Mirjana in Belgrade with her father Alfred.

### Career

Lehner attended high school at the First Women's Gymnasium. She graduated from the Academy of Applied Arts in Belgrade in 1963, majoring in graphics. She received in 1965 the status of "freelance artist", becoming a member of the "Association of Fine Artists of Applied Arts and Designers of Serbia" (ULUPUDS) in 1970. After that, she moved to Paris for a year and a half, exhibiting her works in several galleries such as "La Bateay Lavoir" and "Lafayette". Later, she studied in Italy, Greece, and Israel.

The motifs of her paintings were at the beginning of her career mostly about cities on the coast of the Adriatic Sea and the Sea itself, as well as landscapes of Serbia. At the same time, she was engaged in illustration and graphics for books and art-pedagogical work. During the years 1972 and 1973, she taught book printing and illustration in the technical high school *Likovni tehničari* in Novi Sad.

For many years, she worked in the area of printed arts in institutions such as in the Department of Archeology of the National Museum of Serbia, the Institute for the Protection of Cultural Monuments, the Faculty of Philosophy at the University of Belgrade, the Institute for the Protection of Cultural Monuments of Novi Sad, the Museum of Vojvodina in Novi Sad and the Museum of Srem in Sremska Mitrovica. At the Second International Conference of the Biopolitics International Organization held in Athens in 1988, she participated as the first environmental painter in a gathering of this type. Since 1995, she has been a member of the Ben Uri Museum in London.

Since the 1990s, she has focused her art on the history and traditions of the Jewish people and especially Sephardic Jews and The Holocaust in German-occupied Serbia. For almost two decades, she led the art section "Leon Koen" in the Jewish Community of Belgrade, and she designed the scenography for the performances of the Belgrade Jewish Theater *Kralj David* in Pančevo. With the scenography for the play The Violinist on the Roof in 2001, she participated in the 12th International Triennial of Theater Scenography and Costumes in Novi Sad. She has also won the ULUPUDS annual award for the exhibitions "Bridges of Life" (1993), "My Aunt Erne's Lace" (2002) and "Synagogue as Artistic Heritage" (2006). She has also designed the Hebrew Calendars of the Jewish Community of Serbia for the years for 5762 (2001-02) and 5767 (2007-08), along with the exhibition "The Sarajevo Haggadah as an Inspiration" at the Jewish Museum of Belgrade.

## Awards

In 2013, she received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Applied Artists and Designers Association of Serbia.

title: Gipple's Quarry Bridge

abstract: Gipple's Quarry Bridge is a historic structure located in a rural area southwest of Columbus Junction, Iowa, United States. The Louisa County Board of Supervisors approved the petition of T.J. Gipple in April 1893 to replace a timber pile bridge over Buffington Creek, which was near his stone quarry. They awarded a $1,174 contract to the Gillette-Herzog Manufacturing Company of Minneapolis to build two bridges. The second span was the County Line Bridge over Long Creek in Columbus Township. The bridge span is supported by stone masonry abutments and piers. The steel components of the bridge were rolled by Carnegie, Gillette-Herzog in Pittsburgh. The pony truss bridge is typical of those built in the same era in Iowa, however, like County Line Bridge it has an unusual lower chord configuration with end panels that slope downward from the bearing shoes to the center panels. It has subsequently been abandoned. The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.

title: Mississippi River Scenic Highway

abstract: The Mississippi River Scenic Highway was an auto trail in the United States, created in 1919 to connect the US Midwest with the Southern United States. It was expanded to include a branch to Miami. The Mississippi River Scenic Highway was part of a series of auto trails in the United States to promote travel along the Mississippi River. The organization was headquartered in St. Louis, though each state or division had their own organization, which worked with local cities and towns along the route. The highway has been largely replaced with Great River Road by the 1970s. The route was marked by a blue capital letter "I", usually with a white background. As with other auto trails, the logo was commonly painted on utility poles.

# Mississippi River Scenic Highway

The **Mississippi River Scenic Highway** was an auto trail in the United States, created in 1919 to connect the US Midwest with the Southern United States. It was expanded to include a branch to Miami.

The Mississippi River Scenic Highway was part of a series of auto trails in the United States to promote travel along the Mississippi River. The organization was headquartered in St. Louis, though each state or division had their own organization, which worked with local cities and towns along the route. The highway has been largely replaced with Great River Road by the 1970s.

The route was marked by a blue capital letter "I", usually with a white background. As with other auto trails, the logo was commonly painted on utility poles.

## Route description

Officially the route description began at Lake Itasca in Minnesota but contemporary maps show Winnipeg as the northern terminous. From Lake Itasca the route traveled south through the Twin Cities to Dubuque, Iowa in what was called the northern division. The north central division took the route from Dubuque in Iowa to Quincy, Illinois. The Illinois section connected Quincy with St Louis. A south central division took the route between St Louis and Memphis, Tennessee while the southern division connected Memphis with New Orleans.

The highway crossed paths with other named auto trails, most notably the Lincoln Highway in Clinton, Iowa, the Pikes Peak Ocean to Ocean Highway in Hannibal, Missouri, the National Old Trails Road at St Louis and the Bankhead Highway at Memphis.

Later, a spur was added that connected the highway to Miami. This spur connected with the highway at Clarksdale, Mississippi and continued on through Florida terminating in Miami. It was co-signed as the Dixie Highway from Fort Myers, Florida to Miami.

## History

The route was originally conceived as a scenic route along the Mississippi River in Iowa but it was expanded to be a transcontinental road.

The modern Great River Road, which also follows the course of the Mississippi River, takes a similar route as the historical Mississippi River Scenic Highway.

# Mississippi River Watershed Conservation Programs

Conservation programs for the Mississippi River watershed have been designed to protect and preserve it by implementing practices that decrease the harmful effects of development on habitats and to overlook monitoring that helps future planning and management. A main focus is nutrient pollution from agricultural runoff of the nation's soybean, corn and food animal production, and problems relating to sediment and toxins. Conservation programs work with local farmers and producers to decrease excess nutrients because they cause major water quality problems along with hypoxia and loss of habitat. Organizations such as the Mississippi River/Gulf of Mexico Watershed Nutrient Task Force and USDA programs such as the Upper Mississippi River Forestry Partnership and the Mississippi River Basin Healthy Watersheds Initiative contribute to conserving what is left of the Mississippi River watershed.

## Conservation of the Mississippi River

Conservation of the Mississippi River Watershed has become an important issue that many organizations are undertaking because the capacity of the river to remove nutrients from the water is decreasing and the surrounding ecosystems are being diminished. The Mississippi River Basin encompasses 31 U.S. states with an area of 1,837,000 square miles. The Mississippi River's capacity to remove nutrients has diminished due to a range of human activities, such as development, taking place along the Mississippi River itself and the streams and tributaries linked to it. The layouts of the river, the floodplains, and the watershed have also been modified using engineering techniques for acres of agriculture fields and urban expansion. With increase of natural prairie land being converted to land for agricultural and urban use, there has been an excess of nutrients that are discharged into the Mississippi River and its adjoining streams. Nitrates and Phosphorus are the two main contaminants that pollute the Mississippi River Watershed. This nutrient pollution comes from a surplus of phosphorus and nitrogen, both of which occur naturally in water and air. In the Upper Mississippi River Basin farmland, nitrate fertilizer has been overused in farming, with the high demand for corn as a contributing factor. Corn, which is used to make ethanol for biofuel, has become the number one crop in the farmland that drains into the Mississippi River. Soybeans are another crop in the Upper Mississippi River Basin farmland that drain into the watershed, and nitrates are the main fertilizer used on soybeans and corn.

A variety of changes are needed in the agriculture industry to reduce the pollution from over fertilizing. One solution for nitrate reduction is to plant an alternative crop through crop rotation, such as legumes. Legumes are capable of nitrate fixation, which causes the plant to have a reduced need for nitrate fertilizer. Nitrate drainage is then reduced going into the watershed because legumes do not require the high amounts of fertilizer that are needed for corn and soybeans. Other alternative plants that can be used in crop rotation are miscanthus and switchgrass. These crops effectively reduce the flow of nitrates going into the Mississippi River Basin.

Conservation practices can be used as alternative crops to reduce phosphorus and nitrate pollution in the River. They are necessary since nutrient pollution affects humans and aquatic life in the waterways leading to the Watershed along with the coast. The Gulf of Mexico receives the greatest damage from the pollution. Normal algae growth in water is needed to provide food for fish and other water organisms, but algae can grow too quickly because of the excess nitrogen and phosphorus going into the Mississippi River Basin. The overgrowth produces an algae or algal bloom, which reduces the amount of oxygen in the water. The depleted oxygen levels kill the aquatic life in the Gulf of Mexico, and it can make fish and other aquatic life sick. The depleted oxygen levels kill the aquatic life in the Gulf of Mexico, and it can make fish and other aquatic life sick. Humans can be affected if they drink water or consume fish and other aquatic life that have been contaminated with bacteria or other toxic substances from the algae blooms. Shellfish contamination from the algae occurs easily, and it can be very dangerous for human consumption and cause stomach issues and rashes.

Millions of people throughout the United States have a water source connected to the Mississippi River Watershed because the basin is connected to groundwater, well water, and other water supply tributaries throughout the country. The watershed also serves as largest drainage system in the country. Drinking water from the basin that is polluted by nitrates and phosphorus can cause serious injury to anyone who consumes it, especially young infants. The chemicals that are used to treat the polluted water are very dangerous. These chemicals cannot be avoided since there are no real alternatives to treat the polluted water. The contaminated water source also harms forests that are located in the basin, and animals can be affected if they consume water or plants that have been contaminated by the nutrient pollution. Nitrates and phosphorus also pollute the air, and if the air is polluted, eventually the contamination will fall back to the earth and the waterway making its way through the basin.

### Mississippi River/Gulf of Mexico Watershed Nutrient Task Force

The Mississippi River/Gulf of Mexico Watershed Nutrient Task Force undertakes the challenge of eliminating the dead zone in the Gulf of Mexico as well as promoting the implementation of new farming practices and nutrient runoff management. The Mississippi River dumps high nutrient runoff from the vast drainage basin into the Gulf of Mexico causing an outbreak of algae growth. The excess algae create an area where the dissolved oxygen concentration is very low in the bottom waters. Many organisms cannot tolerate low-oxygen levels and either leave the area or become weakened or die from lack of oxygen. A majority of the nutrient loadings originate from the draining of agricultural lands north of the Ohio River in the states of Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, southern Minnesota, and Ohio. Nitrates and Phosphorus are the two main contaminants that pollute the Mississippi River Watershed. This nutrient pollution comes from a surplus of phosphorus and nitrogen, both of which occur naturally in water and air.

#### 2001 Action Plan

The 2001 Action Plan is a national strategy to reduce Gulf hypoxia with a focus on reducing the nitrogen and phosphorus nutrient loads to the northern Gulf coming from the Mississippi River. The Action Plan proposes three goals: a Coastal Goal, a Within Basin Goal, and a Quality of Life Goal. The Coastal Goal intends to reduce the square mileage of hypoxia in the Gulf to 5,000 square kilometers by the implementation of actions to reduce the discharge of nutrients into the Gulf. The Within Basin Goal is to restore and protect the waters of the Mississippi River Basin by implementing nutrient and sedimentation reduction actions that will protect human health and aquatic organisms and reduce the nutrient load released into the Gulf. Lastly, the Quality of Life Goal is to improve communities across the Mississippi River Basin through land management and an incentive based approach. The Action Plan states that by December 2005, and every five years thereafter, the Task Force will review the reductions in nutrient load discharge and the response of the dead zone in the Gulf. From this data, the Task Force would then decide what actions to take to continue achieving the goals.

#### 2008 Action Plan

The 2008 Action Plan further describes a national strategy to address the problem with hypoxia in the Gulf of Mexico and also improve the water quality in the Mississippi River. The 2008 Action Plan was a reassessment called for in the 2001 Action Plan. The 2008 Action Plan outlines the significance of completing and implementing nutrient reduction strategies, promoting these practices, and also increasing the awareness of the public of hypoxia in the Gulf. Included in the 2008 Action Plan is a series of five Annual Operating Plans, one for each of the upcoming years until the next reassessment is necessary. These Operating Plans offer guidelines to keep the forward movement of completing Action Plan goals within those years. The 2008 Action plan also summarized the progress of the 2001 Action Plan up until that point. Although the goal of reducing the size of the hypoxia area to 5000 square kilometers was not met, the loadings of nitrogen from the Mississippi River were decreased by 12%.

### Upper Mississippi River Initiatives

#### Upper Mississippi River Forestry Partnership

The USDA Forest Service and Northeastern Area State and Private Forestry and other local state foresters have created a partnership to demonstrate forestry's role in restoring the Upper Mississippi River Watershed. Forests are critical in protecting the surrounding watershed and the water quality. Nearly all of the prairies and 70% of the forests in the Upper Mississippi Watershed have been converted to land for agricultural and urban use. The mismanagement has had major effects on fish, wildlife and their habitat, local water supplies, and contributes to nitrogen loading in the Gulf of Mexico.

The Upper Mississippi Watershed Forestry Partnership came up with a 2004-2008 Action Plan proposing to use forests and trees to lessen the impact of the altered landscapes of the Mississippi River watershed. Due to the existing damage and the cost of technological solutions, they suggest to use ecosystem services of woodlands and forest habitats to filter nutrients which helps maintain or improve water quality. They suggest using incentives to create wetlands and forest buffers between farmland and nearby rivers and streams

### Mississippi River Basin Healthy Watersheds Initiative

The Mississippi River Basin Healthy Watersheds Initiative (MRBI) was developed by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) in an attempt to improve the health of the Mississippi River Basin. The Initiative has selected watersheds to improve in 12 states including Arkansas, Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Ohio, Tennessee, and Wisconsin. South Dakota was added later. The MRBI built upon past efforts of producers, NRCS, partners, and State and federal agencies in this area. By dedicating $80 million per year from 2010 to 2013, the Initiative introduced local producers in the Mississippi River Watershed to conservation practices to control nutrient runoff from agricultural land. These practices helped to reduce nutrient loadings downstream, improve water quality, and restore habitats while maintaining agricultural productivity. Each state selected three area watersheds that the MRBI focused on. The selection was based on the future growth of the site depending on current water quality data, existing strategies to reduce nutrient discharge, and existing models of nitrogen and phosphorus in the watershed. Special consideration were given to watersheds that had the largest impact on managing nutrients.

#### Approved MRBI Conservation Practices

The selected watersheds have to implement a system of practices that address nitrogen and phosphorus generation. MRBI approved practices help avoid, trap, and control nutrients from agricultural runoff. Multiple core and supporting conservation practices provide options for producers depending on their location and existing operations. Approved core practices were selected based on what proved to be most important in reducing the downstream loading of nutrients. Core practices include planting cover crops, constructing grassed waterways or riparian forest buffers, and wetland creation or enhancement. The NRCS allowed State Conservationists to choose supporting practices that address the primary water concerns that have developed within that particular state. Supporting practices include pasture and hayland planting, deep tillage in fields, field borders, and constructing a water and sediment control basin. Payment is received as the implementation of core and supporting practices proceed in a selected watershed.

# Miss Chennai

**Miss Chennai** was a city beauty pageant in Chennai, India, which operated under the parent organization VIBA between 1999 and 2009. The competition's first winner was Trisha Krishnan, and several of the participants from the pageant went on to make a career in the film industry.

## History

The Miss Chennai contest was organised by the entertainment group VIBA, created by sisters Vidya Balakrishnan and Shoba Ravishankar. The group had first created "Teen Super Model 97", before making Miss Chennai their flagship event in 1999. Trisha Krishnan was the first winner of the competition and was crowned at an event in September 1999. In the following years, VIBA continued to host the Miss Chennai pageant in locations such as the Rajah Muthiah Hall, the Madras Race Club and the Chettinad Auditorium. Vidya and Shobha later expanded their awards portfolio to include ceremonies titled "Chennai Man" and "Mom and I".

For the 2009 pageant, it was revealed that there were 750 applications, 300 contestants were screened, with 20 shortlisted and 12 finalised for the finals. The 2009 pageant was shown as a reality television show over 12 weeks on Star Vijay. No further ceremonies have been held since 2009.

In the late 2010s, former contestants suggested that the influx of new competitions such as Miss South India, Face of Chennai, Miss Madras had hampered career prospects for the winners of Miss Chennai.

## Legacy

Several of the participating models went on to represent India at other international pageants following their success with Miss Chennai. This included Aparna Pillai at Miss Petite International 2003, Medha Raghunath at World Miss University 2003 and Nirupama Natarajan at Miss Intercontinental 2004. In 2006, it was announced that the winner would go on to represent Chennai in the Miss Intercontinental pageant.

Many of the winners and runners-up of the competition moved on to work in the film industry including Trisha Krishnan (1999), Medha Raghunath (2000), Divya Subramanian (2001), Sruti Harihara Subramanian (2002), Aparna Pillai (2002), Bidushi Dash Barde (2005–06), Samyuktha (2007) and Sahithya Jagannathan (2009).

# Girl, Stolen

***Girl Stolen*** is a young adult crime novel by the American author April Henry, published in 2010 by Henry Holt and Company. It follows Cheyenne, a 16-year-old girl who is blind, has pneumonia, and is accidentally kidnapped when a stranger steals her mother's car while Cheyenne is resting in the backseat.

## Plot

*Girl, Stolen* is about Cheyenne Wilder, a 16-year-old girl who is blind and has pneumonia. Cheyenne is waiting in her stepmother's car while she's in a pharmacy when a teenage boy, Griffin, steals her stepmother's vehicle, unaware that Cheyenne is curled up in the backseat. Griffin contemplates setting Cheyenne free but decides against it and drives her home to a rundown trailer. There, his father, who is a carjacker, learns about the mishap, as well as Cheyenne's father's wealth, and decides turn this error into a ransom opportunity. However, once he realizes that Cheyenne may be able to identify him and his cronies, he contemplates killing her after he receives the ransom.

Cheyenne, overcome by her pneumonia, must win over Griffin to release her. Although Griffin believes his father will release Cheyenne once they receive the ransom, but Cheyenne isn't so sure. Instead, she decides to knock out Griffin and try her luck running through the woods. Unfortunately, Roy catches her, and in another attempt, she must drive his car to escape.

## Reception

*Publishers Weekly* called *Girl, Stolen* "a captivating tale", while *Children's Book and Media Review*'s Debbie Barr referred to it as "a masterful story, full of suspense, subtlety, and surprise."

April Spisak, writing for *The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books*, referred to the premise as "powerfully realistic and compelling, with one small incident \[...\] snowballing into a nightmare series of events that will change everyone". Spisak continued, "The pace is impeccable, becoming rapidly more frantic as Cheyenne realizes her chances for success are dwindling". *Booklist*'s Daniel Kraus similarly highlighted the novel's "hurtling, downhill velocity". However, Kira Moody, writing for *School Library Journal,* found that "the book drags in places".

Multiple reviewers discussed Henry's character development, with Kraus writing, "The plot is actually of secondary concern; the relationship between Cheyenne and \[...\] Griffin, constitutes the novel’s central push and pull". *Publishers Weekly* noted that both Cheyenne and Griffin "are well-built, complex characters, trapped in their own ways by life's circumstances". Barr specifically described Griffin as "complex and sympathetic".

Reviewers were particularly impressed with how Henry handled Cheyenne's disability, with Kraus noting that Henry's "research on living with blindness pays dividends in authenticity". *Kirkus Reviews* found that Henry's "realistic depiction of the coping strategies and the strengths developed by the blind greatly enhances the novel, lifting it above the level of a mere escapist thriller". Spisak and *Publishers Weekly* pointed to examples of Cheyenne using her illness and disability to try to manipulate Griffin, as well as a way to bond with him. Some reviewers also discussed the limited focus Henry placed on Cheyenne's blindness in the novel. Spisak wrote, "Henry ably presents Cheyenne's blindness as an aspect that is no more relevant than, for example, her pneumonia as an obstacle in her current horrific situation." However, Moody argued that "the disability of the main character occasionally overshadows the story".

*Kirkus Reviews* concluded, "Although Cheyenne's multiple problems might feel overdone in less skilled hands, Henry handles them deftly and makes her choices work. Constantly interesting and suspenseful."

Moody reviewed the audiobook and praised narrator Kate Rudd for "bringing to life the different characters".

## Accolades

The American Library Association included *Girl, Stolen* on their 2011 list of the Best Fiction for Young Adults.

# Mitsubishi MiEV Evolution

The **Mitsubishi MiEV Evolution** (with 'MiEV' an abbreviation of 'Mitsubishi innovative Electric Vehicle') is an electric motor racing car project, managed by Mitsubishi Motors. The project originated prior to 2012, producing a vehicle that entered in the 2012 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb (PPIHC) event, and has undergone evolution and technical improvements in subsequent years. The 2014 version (MiEV Evolution III) achieved 2nd and 3rd position overall in the 2014 PPIHC event, with run times within 3 seconds and 7 seconds (respectively) of the overall fastest vehicle, a gasoline-powered Norma race car.

## History

Mitsubishi Motor Company (MMC) formed the MiEV Evolution project in the run up to the 2012 race season. There were 2 stated aims; to promote the consumer i-MiEV electric car (which began to sell in North American markets in late 2011), and to participate in the PPIHC as a competitive event which has a long-standing tradition of experimental motor sports and is therefore a potentially suitable venue to test and improve the technologies of electric motor sports vehicles. Being a high altitude event (with the finish line around 14,000 feet), with diminishing oxygen levels in the upper stages which affects the efficiency of internal combustion engines, the Pikes Peak race venue is particularly favourable for electric power-train vehicles.

## Technology

For the initial 2012 PPIHC race, the team took existing powertrain components from the iMiEV production car, using 3 of the car's standard electric motors, retuned to rev to 11,000rpm and each producing a maximum of 107 bhp and 148 lb ft of torque for a total of 322 bhp and 443 lb ft of torque. One motor powered the front wheels, and the remaining two were harnessed in parallel to drive the rear wheels. The vehicle carries 35KWH of batteries and has a total weight (with driver) of 1400 kg - considerably more than its gasoline-powered competitors. The car's acceleration creates a 0-60 mph time of 3.8 seconds, and it has sufficient handling to achieve up to 1.3 lateral G in cornering. The top speed is 115 mph.

For the 2013 season, the team prepared a new vehicle, known as the MiEV Evolution II. With more time in hand, the team was able to implement more sophisticated drive control, allowing power to be directed to each wheel independently (instant torque vectoring), improving traction and handling. Total power was increased to 536 bhp and 885 lb ft of torque. The onboard energy storage was increased to 50KWH, and top speed increased to at least 140 mph. The design also featured improved aerodynamics, reduced weight, a lower centre of gravity due to repositioning the batteries, active yaw control, active stability control and a redesigned anti-lock braking system. The vehicle rides on Dunlop 260/660-18 tyres, and overall dimensions are Length x Width x Height (mm) - 4,870 x 1,900 x 1,390.

For the 2014 season, the team produced the MiEV Evolution III. Power was further increased, to 604 bhp, and the gearing ratio changed to improve acceleration out of corners. The battery remained at 50KWH, and redesign and use of different materials further reduced chassis weight. Wind tunnel work led to further downforce and aero-dynamic improvements, and the all-wheel traction control system was improved. The vehicle rides on wider Dunlop 330/680-18 tyres, and dimensions are Length x Width x Height 5,190mm×2,000mm×1,485mm, an increase over previous years. Without providing detailed data on the overall vehicle weight, Mitsubishi has confirmed that the MiEV Evolution III is lighter than the previous generations, i.e. under 1400 kg. For comparison, the 2013 winning unlimited class vehicle (Loeb's Peugeot) was 875 kg (with 875 bhp). Official technical details about the vehicles can be found via Mitsubishi's news website.

## Results

In the initial year of the project, 2012, with driver Hiroshi Masuoka, the team achieved a time of 10 minutes 30.850 seconds, placing 2nd in the electric vehicle class, some 15 seconds behind Toyota Motorsport's TMG EVP002 driven by Furnio Nutahara (10 minutes 15.380 seconds).

In the 2013 PPIHC event the team's MiEV Evolution II vehicles were driven by Hiroshi Masuoka and Greg Tracy and achieved times of 10:21.866 and 10:23.649 respectively, improving over the previous year despite encountering poor weather conditions. This put them around 35 seconds slower than the lead electric vehicle of Nobuhiro Tajima (09:46.530).

In the 2014 PPIHC event the team entered two MiEV Evolution III vehicles, again driven by Greg Tracy and Hiroshi Masuoka. Tracy placed 2nd overall, with a time of 9 minutes 8.188 seconds, fractionally behind the overall winning time of 9 minutes 5.801 seconds of Romain Dumas in the 2013 Norma. Masuoka placed 3rd overall with a time of 9 minutes 12.204 seconds. The team thus placed 1st and 2nd in the PPIHC Electric Modified class, breaking by 38 seconds the previous class record of 9 minutes 46.530 seconds which had been set by Nobuhiro Tajima in his E-RUNNER Pikes Peak Special in 2013. Tajima had a more modest improvement in 2014, finishing in 9 minutes 43.900 seconds in his Monster Sport vehicle. Tajima's team cited hotter than anticipated race conditions as partly responsible for the modest result, with the vehicle's onboard protection systems reducing power output to protect against overheating.

## Future

In the context of the PPIHC event, the results of recent years show that the relative improvements in race time are advancing at different rates in the electric vehicle class compared to the unlimited vehicle class (which typically uses internal combustion engine powertrains).

The unlimited class vehicles broke the 16 minute barrier in 1938, and have steadily improved over the subsequent decades, breaking the 10-minute barrier in 2011. Meanwhile, the electric vehicle class broke the 16 minute barrier in 1994, and the 10-minute barrier in 2013. The graph to the right shows the relative rates of improvement of the two classes since the 1980s.

Because the electric vehicle class continued to attract entrants like the MiEV Evolution team, and associated technology investment (in batteries, motors and control systems), this class did produce an outright winner in 2015, and may dominate thereafter. The weakest link for performance racing applications as of 2014 is typically the energy to weight ratio (WH/kg) of battery technology compared to gasoline. However, the technology is continuously improving in this respect.

# Umguza District

**Umguza** is a district in the southern part of Matabeleland North province in Zimbabwe. It was formerly known as Esiphezini District.

## Geography

Umguza District is bounded by Matobo and Umzingwane districts in the southeast, Bulilima and Tsholotsho in the west, Kusile (formerly part of Lupane District) in the north and Bubi in the north and east. It surrounds the Bulawayo metropolitan area to the south on three sides.

## Places in Umguza

* Ntabazinduna (Hill of the Chiefs)
* Nyamandlovu a river valley where garden crops are raised.

## Administration and politics

Umguza District is governed by the Umguza Rural District Council, which has its offices in Bulawayo. The district has one constituency, Umguza constituency, which was created out of the old Bubi-Umguza constituency. The constituency consists of the Nyamandlovu and Sawmills areas divided into fifteen wards.

Obert Moses Mpofu was elected in 1990 and 1995 as the member of parliament from Bubi-Umguza Constituency, the predecessor constituency. In 2008 and in 2013 he filled the parliamentary seat for the Umguza constituency. He did not run in 2018.

## Economy

The climate in the district is arid and the primary occupation is animal ranching. Among recent problems are "land barons" establishing illegal settlements, established without any concern for services such as water and electricity.

In the 2000s and early 2010s, about a dozen farmers in the district grew tobacco on a commercial basis. However due to climate change, the rains became erratic and transport of the crop to the auction house in Harare, nearly 400 kilometres (249 mi) away became too expensive. As of 2019, there was no commercial tobacco farmer in Umguza District.

## Energy

In July 2021, *AF Power Private Limited* an independent power producer (IPP) based in Singapore announced plans to design, develop, operate and maintain a 200 megawatt solar power plant, in Umguza District. The Umguza Solar Power Station, which will be built in phases in expected to add the first 50 megawatts to the national grid during 2022.

# Umhausen

**Umhausen** is a municipality in the Imst district of state of Tyrol in western Austria. It and is located 17 km southeast of Imst at the Ötztaler Ache in the Ötztal. It has 3078 inhabitants.

## Geography

The municipality consists of six villages:

* Umhausen
* Tumpen
* Köfels
* Farst
* Niederthai
* Östen

Umhausen is located at the intersection of the Stubai Alps and the Ötztal Alps. The lowest point is in Tumpen (920m), the highest peak of the municipality is the **Strahlkogel**, at 3,288 m (AA). Its name comes from its great, white, light-reflecting, quartz layers, which allegedly cause the mountain to "radiate" (*strahlen*). It has the shape of a well-proportioned, steep and pointed pyramid. Ascending the Strahlkogel is difficult and it is thus only rarely visited, unlike the neighbouring 3,287-metre-high Breiter Grieskogel.

## Economy

Umhausen was once a centre for cultivation of flax.

Today the main source of income is tourism. In the area of the community lies the tallest waterfall of Tyrol at 150 metres of height. The economy in Umhausen is a bit smaller than the economy in Längenfeld. It is supported by local craft enterprises. Moreover, the Vivea Gesundheitshotel Umhausen opened in 2011, which plays a large role in the local economy.

## Landslide

The Köfels landslide was a gigantic landslide, known as a sturzstrom, that occurred in the Ötz valley 9800±100 years ago according to radiocarbon dating of trees buried by the event. It involved a 2.5 km horizontal displacement and 800 m vertical displacement of 3.2 km3 of rock and mud along the Ötz valley floor, making it the third largest known sturzstrom.

title: Umhaill

abstract: Umhaill or Umhall was a Gaelic territory around Clew Bay in the west of what is now County Mayo, Ireland, comprising the baronies of Burrishoole and Murrisk. By the 12th century, its ruling dynasty were known as the Uí Máille (O'Malleys). Originally an autonomous part of the kingdom of Connacht, it later became one of the vassal territories of the Mac William Íochtar. Umhaill's last and most famous ruler was Grace O'Malley, nicknamed "the pirate queen". In 1576, during the Tudor conquest of Ireland, she agreed to the surrender and regrant policy, accepting English inheritance law in return for official title deeds to her lands. On her death the lands were inherited by her son Tibbot "na Long". Umhaill had a strong seafaring culture. Important sites associated with it include Carrickkildavnet Castle, Carrickahowley Castle, Granuaile's Castle and Clare Island Abbey.

# Umhaill

**Umhaill** or **Umhall** (anglicized as **Owill** or **Owel**) was a Gaelic territory around Clew Bay in the west of what is now County Mayo, Ireland, comprising the baronies of Burrishoole (Lower Owel) and Murrisk (Upper Owel). By the 12th century, its ruling dynasty were known as the Uí Máille (O'Malleys). Originally an autonomous part of the kingdom of Connacht, it later became one of the vassal territories of the Mac William Íochtar. Umhaill's last and most famous ruler was Grace O'Malley (Gráinne Ní Mháille), nicknamed "the pirate queen". In 1576, during the Tudor conquest of Ireland, she agreed to the surrender and regrant policy, accepting English inheritance law in return for official title deeds to her lands. On her death the lands were inherited by her son Tibbot "na Long". Umhaill had a strong seafaring culture. Important sites associated with it include Carrickkildavnet Castle, Carrickahowley Castle, Granuaile's Castle and Clare Island Abbey.

## Description

Knox says of Murrisk "With Burrishoole it forms the kingdom of Aicill and Umall, which comes into history at the battle of Moy Lena. Aicill seems to be a descriptive term applied to mountainous country. Umall means low, and applies in this sense to the country lying east of Clew Bay, as Aicill applies to the parts lying north and south of the bay. The title may be translated as King of Highland and Lowland. Aicill survives in Achill Island and Curraun peninsula. The term was applied to the country between Clew Bay and the Killeries in the thirteenth century. Though at all times an independent kingdom acknowledging supremacy of only the King of Connacht, it was too small to play an independent part, and therefore is rarely mentioned in the annals." (p. 303).

## Legacy

The Gaelic culture and Irish language continued on in the area longer than most other parts of Ireland. Today, *Acaill* and *An Corrán* are part of the Mayo Gaeltacht.

## Kings of Umaill

Its earliest rulers were the semi-historical Tuath mhac nUmhoir. The Umaill, its early historical rulers, were renamed the Uí Briúin Umaill to claim a fictitious relationship with the Uí Briúin. By the 12th century the ruling family adopted the surname Ó Máille, and were reckoned with the Ó Dubhda, Ó Flaithbheartaigh and Mac Conraoi as supreme seafaring clans of Connacht.

title: Misterton, Nottinghamshire

abstract: Misterton is a village and civil parish in the Bassetlaw district of Nottinghamshire, England. The parish population at the 2011 census was 2,140, and has risen to 2,191 residents in the 2021 census.

# Misterton, Nottinghamshire

**Misterton** is a village and civil parish in the Bassetlaw district of Nottinghamshire, England. The parish population at the 2011 census was 2,140, and has risen to 2,191 residents in the 2021 census.

## Geography

Misterton lies in the far north-east of Bassetlaw and of Nottinghamshire, between Walkeringham to the south and Haxey in North Lincolnshire to the north. To the east of the village is the River Trent and to the west by farmland. It lies six miles (10 km) north-west of Gainsborough, on the busy A161 between Beckingham and Goole. The railway Doncaster to Lincoln Line runs north-south to the east of the village, currently with no station between Gainsborough and Doncaster. The village is the last on the A161 road going north, before Lincolnshire and the Isle of Axholme. The B1403 for Gringley-on-the-Hill meets the main road here. The A161 through to the Isle of Axholme enters less than 1 km north of crossing the River Idle at Haxey Gate Bridge next to the *Haxey Gate Inn*. The river meets the Trent in the parish. The Trent Valley Way and Cuckoo Way follow the Chesterfield Canal at this point, crossing the Trent at West Stockwith.

The parish boundary follows the River Idle through Misterton Soss and the railway line to the north-east, then continues along the county boundary, again by the River Idle, and follows the Gringley and Misterton Boundary Drain to the west. It crosses Fountain Hill before following Fox Covert Lane, near the primary school, to meet the Trent.

The population has risen to 2,191 as reported in the 2021 census, since the 2001 census put it at 1,223.

### Subsidiary villages

The Misterton Ward of Bassetlaw District Council contains the villages of West Stockwith and Misterton, but excludes Stockwith Road, Newells Terrace, Bramley Way and Pippin Close, which fall within the Walkeringham parish.

### Misterton Carr

Misterton Carr to the west of the village, is an area of fenland. South of the River Idle (until the 1600s known as Bycarrsdike), it forms the lowest reaches of the Isle of Axholme, which extends into Yorkshire and Lincolnshire. Despite attempts since Roman times to drain the flood plain in the area, only further drainage since the 1970s has allowed it all to become arable land.

## Governance

Prior to 1935 Misterton was the centre of the Misterton Rural District, which was absorbed by the East Retford Rural District. This in turn was absorbed by Bassetlaw in 1974.

## Toponymy

The place-name Misterton seems to contain the Old English word *mynster* – a monastery, the church of a monastery or religious body, a church served by secular clergy – with the likewise Old English word *tūn*, meaning an enclosure, a farmstead, a village or an estate. In other words the name may mean "monastery farm/settlement".

Misterton appears in the Domesday Book of 1086 as *Ministretone*.

# Girjesh Govil

**Girjesh Govil** (25 September 1940 – 12 October 2021) was an Indian molecular biophysicist and a Raja Ramanna professor at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research. He was known for his researches on semi-empirical quantum chemical theories. He was an elected fellow of The World Academy of Sciences, and all the three major Indian science academies viz. the National Academy of Sciences, India, Indian National Science Academy and the Indian Academy of Sciences. The Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, the apex agency of the Government of India for scientific research, awarded him the Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize for Science and Technology, one of the highest Indian science awards, in 1978, for his contributions to chemical sciences.

## Biography

Girjesh Govil, born to Mangalsen - Dharamdevi couple on 25 September 1940 at Khurja, a town in Bulandshahr district of the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, known for traditional ceramics products, did his graduate studies in chemistry at Lucknow University in 1956 and completed his master's degree at Allahabad University in 1958. His career started at Bhabha Atomic Research Centre in 1959 but after a short while, he joined Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR) and while serving the institute, he did his doctoral studies under S. S. Dharmatti simultaneously to secure a PhD from Mumbai University in 1963.

Subsequently, he went abroad and did his post-doctoral studies at National Physical Laboratory (United Kingdom) and National Research Council. Returning to Tata Institute of Fundamental Research as a senior professor, he served as an INSA Golden Jubilee Research Professor there. In between, he had short stints at NRC, National Institutes of Health and Kobe University as a visiting scientist.

Govil was married to Anuradha Mithal and the couple has a son, Anurag and two daughters, Shalini and Shivani. He lived in Mumbai.

## Legacy

Govil got attracted to the then new field of nuclear magnetic resonance towards the beginning of his research career and most of his activities were focused on it. Working on the conformational aspects of biological molecules such as peptides, nucleotides, saccharides and lipids, he developed applications of semi-empirical quantum chemical theories and elucidated the structure of nucleotides using conformational energy maps and rotational energy states. His calculations of non-bonded and hydrogen-bonded interactions of biomolecules are reported to have been precise and he also made contributions on stacking and base pairing in ordered nucleic acids, lipid structures in biomembranes and their structural flexibility and transport properties. His researches are documented in over 250 articles published in peer-reviewed journals and five books which included *NMR in Biological Systems: From Molecules to Human* and *NMR*; he also contributed chapters to *India in the World of Physics: Then and Now*, authored by Asoke Nath Mitra and *Science and Modern India: An Institutional History*, edited by Das Gupta.

Govil has guided several doctoral scholars in their researches and has served as a TWAS professor at Kathmandu University. He has presided over the International Council for NMR in Biological Systems, the Indian Biophysical Society, the Indian Chemical Society and has served as the vice president of the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics. He has been associated with the Indian National Science Academy as the secretary of its council from 1989 to 1991 and as an additional member in 2002.

## Awards and honors

The Council of Scientific and Industrial Research awarded Govil the Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize, one of the highest Indian science awards, in 1978. A Jawaharlal Nehru Birth Centenary Visiting Fellow of the Indian National Science Academy and a Raja Ramanna fellow at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, he has received several other awards and the list includes FICCI Award, Goyal Award, and the Lifetime Achievement Awards of the Indian Science Congress Association and the Indian Chemical Society. Besides being an elected fellow of The World Academy of Sciences, he was also an elected fellow of Indian National Science Academy, Indian Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Sciences, India.

title: Girjas case

abstract: The Girjas case is a landmark decision of the Supreme Court of Sweden between the Girjas Sami village [sw] and the Swedish government concerning the right to issue hunting and fishing licenses within the Girjas district. The result was that while the "Swedish Reindeer Husbandry Act" did not grant the village rights to the licenses, the "possession since time immemorial" did grant them the right to the licenses. The concept, according to research, was rarely used to justify the ownership of large plots of land as was the case here. Further, according to 16-17th century legislative usages, due to the abundance of land and minimal number of people, those who took care of the land were considered the de facto owners.

# Girjas case

The **Girjas case** is a landmark decision of the Supreme Court of Sweden between the Girjas Sami village <sub>\[sw\]</sub> and the Swedish government concerning the right to issue hunting and fishing licenses within the Girjas district. The result was that while the "Swedish Reindeer Husbandry Act" did not grant the village rights to the licenses, the "possession since time immemorial" (in Swedish *Urminnes hävd*) did grant them the right to the licenses. The concept, according to research, was rarely used to justify the ownership of large plots of land as was the case here. Further, according to 16-17th century legislative usages, due to the abundance of land and minimal number of people, those who took care of the land were considered the de facto owners.

## Judgment

On 23 January 2020 the Supreme Court delivered its verdict. The Court's 92-page verdict is long by Swedish standards.

## Other issues

The use of the word "Lapp" by Swedish government lawyers was criticised as some Sámi consider the term offensive.
