# Land of Talk

**Land of Talk** is a Canadian indie rock band formed in 2006 from Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The band is led by singer and guitarist Elizabeth Powell.

## History

Before becoming the front-person for Land of Talk, Elizabeth Powell began their career as a solo artist performing under the name ELE\_K\*. Their debut album was released in 2003 through independent Canadian label Sinistre Sound. Powell began writing music at the age of fourteen while they grew up in Guelph, Ontario, Canada. They enrolled in the jazz program at Concordia University where they met Chris McCarron and Mark Wheaton with whom they formed Land of Talk. Eric Thibodeau replaced Wheaton on drums in May 2007 to complete a new lineup.

"Some bands have a bit more of a meteoric rise, and some are slow burners. I like to think we're a slow burner," Powell says. "It's totally true to who I am and how I approach my own life. Very slow and very unsure, but curious. And it all works out."

Land of Talk has received funding from agencies such as the Canada Council Funding for the Arts (FACTOR).

### *Applause Cheer Boo Hiss*

The band released its first EP, *Applause Cheer Boo Hiss*, on April 4, 2006, on Dependent Music. The single "Summer Special" deals with the damaging nature of intra-female conflict and the sadness of losing oneself by way of buying into the damaging stereotypes of femininity. Powell commented in an interview about what inspired them to write "Summer Special" and how it compared to their life growing up as a tomboy.

Another stand-out track from the EP is "Speak to Me Bones", which also deals with the theme of relational conflict. This track exemplifies their use of soft vocals and gritty rock sounding musical arrangements. The music video for "Speak to Me Bones" was directed by a former Concordia school mate, Jeffrey St. Jules. The concept of the video was kept simple, shot in black and white staying true to the band's no-frills style.

### *Some Are Lakes*

Land of Talk released their first full-length album, *Some Are Lakes*, on Secret City Records in Canada and Saddle Creek Records in the US. The album was released on October 7, 2008, and was produced by Justin Vernon of Bon Iver. Drums on the album are played by Andrew Barr of The Slip. Powell announced during a performance that the band would be taking a break after its tour with Broken Social Scene. The band did not in fact go on hiatus, but instead McCarron left (amicably) to play guitar for The Dears. He was replaced by Joe Yarmush, and the band announced a West Coast tour for 2009.

To complement the tour, the band will be releasing an EP with four new songs and three videos, entitled 'Fun and Laughter'."

### *Cloak and Cipher*

Early in 2009, Powell had to cancel the band's tour to recover from a hemorrhage vocal polyp. Powell used their six-month recuperation period to write and record the next album, titled *Cloak and Cipher*. It was released on August 24, 2010, on Saddle Creek Records. It has contributions from Patrick Watson, as well as members of Stars, Arcade Fire, Thee Silver Mt. Zion, Wintersleep, Besnard Lakes and Esmerine. *Cloak and Cipher* appeared on the !earshot National Top 50 Chart that fall.

# Pugin Hall

**Pugin Hall** is a private house, designed as a rectory by Augustus Pugin and built in 1846–1847 in Rampisham, Dorset, England. The house is a Grade I listed building, the top category, 'of highest significance'.

## Early history

Pugin Hall was built in 1846–1847 as a replacement for the earlier rectory at Rampisham, Parsonage House, which was considered to be too dilapidated to be suitable for repair. It was one of two Church of England rectories built by Pugin, a Catholic convert.

### Historic England listing details

> Pugin Hall was a major commission by the one of the most distinguished architects of the Victorian era, A.W.N. Pugin. It is a characteristic and highly influential example of one of Pugin's smaller, professional middle-class houses and is considered to be the most complete example of domestic architecture designed by him. It has an exceptionally well-preserved interior with features of high quality and is almost complete in every detail....(it) is unique as being his only commission for which a full set of detailed plans and specifications survive, produced by Pugin himself. The survival of such an unaltered house by Pugin is very rare and there is clearly no doubt at all about its exceptional importance.

## Later history

There were several families privately owning Pugin Hall over the years, including the Armstrong-Wilson family in 1986.

The house was listed for sale in 2013 at a guide price of £1.7 million.

title: Nitrilimine

abstract: Nitrilimines or nitrile amides are a class of organic compounds sharing a common functional group with the general structure R-CN-NR corresponding to the conjugate base of an amine bonded to the N-terminus of a nitrile. The dominant structure for the parent compound nitrilimine is that of the propargyl-like 1 in scheme 1 with a C-N triple bond and with a formal positive charge on nitrogen and two lone pairs and a formal negative charge on the terminal nitrogen. Other structures such as hypervalent 2, allene-like 3, allylic 4 and carbene 5 are of lesser relevance. Nitrilimines were first observed in the thermal decomposition of 2-tetrazoles releasing nitrogen: Nitrilimines are linear 1,3-dipoles represented by structures 1 and 3. A major use is in heterocyclic synthesis. E.g. with alkynes they generate pyrazoles in a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition. Due to their high energy, they are usually generated in situ as a reactive intermediate.

# Tumut Pond Dam

**Tumut Pond Dam** (/ˈtjmət/) is a major gated concrete arch dam across the upper reaches of the Tumut River in the Snowy Mountains of New South Wales, Australia. The dam's main purpose is for the generation of hydro-power and is one of the sixteen major dams that comprise the Snowy Mountains Scheme, a vast hydroelectricity and irrigation complex constructed in south-east Australia between 1949 and 1974 and now run by Snowy Hydro.

The impounded reservoir is called the **Tumut Pond Reservoir**, or less formally, the **Tumut Pondage**.

## Location and features

Completed in 1959, Tumut Pond Dam is a major dam, located approximately 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) south-east of Cabramurra. The dam was constructed by a consortium comprising Kaiser-Walsh-Perini-Raymond based on engineering plans developed by the United States Bureau of Reclamation under contract from the Snowy Mountains Hydroelectric Authority.

The dam wall comprising 141,000 cubic metres (5,000,000 cu ft) of concrete is 86 metres (282 ft) high and 218 metres (715 ft) long. At 100% capacity the dam wall holds back 52,793 megalitres (1,864.4×10~~^~~6 cu ft) of water. The surface area of Tumut Pond Reservoir is 202.7 hectares (501 acres) and the catchment area is 332 square kilometres (128 sq mi). The gated spillway is capable of discharging 1,926 cubic metres per second (68,000 cu ft/s) through two 14.3 m (47 ft) wide by 9.1 m (30 ft) high radial gates.

The crest of the dam wall forms part of the road between Cabramurra and Khancoban. The road is closed to through traffic in winter as it is not routinely cleared of snow and ice.

### Power generation

Downstream of the dam wall and located underground is Tumut 1, a conventional hydroelectric power station, that has four turbine generators, with a generating capacity of 330 megawatts (440,000 hp) of electricity; and a net generation of 847 gigawatt-hours (3,050 TJ) per annum. The power station has 262.1 metres (860 ft) rated hydraulic head. The underground powerhouse is located 366 metres (1,201 ft) below ground level.

### Tumut Pond Reservoir

Tumut Pond Reservoir or Tumut Pond Pondage (sometimes also Tumut 1 Reservoir/Tumut 1 Pondage) is formed by the Tumut Pond Dam. Snowmelt and other runoff enter the reservoir from the upper Tumut River and the dam impounds the river's natural flow below the Tumut Two Dam wall.

Water from the reservoir, after passing over the spillway of the Tumut Pond Dam, flows downstream, above the underground Tumut 1 Power Station, and into the impounded waters of Talbingo Reservoir, formed by the Talbingo Dam; past Tumut 3 Power Station, into Jounama Pondage, formed by Jounama Dam; and then into Blowering Reservoir, formed by Blowering Dam, passing through Blowering Power Stations. The natural flow of the Tumut River continues into the Riverina region.

# O-blek

***o•blék: a journal of language arts*** (pronounced exactly like the word "oblique") was a small literary magazine founded by Peter Gizzi who co-edited it with Connell McGrath. The magazine published a number of poems often not in the mainstream but recognized for their excellence (by, for instance, being selected for The Best American Poetry series). The magazine ran from 1987 to 1993.

Published by The Garlic Press in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, the magazine offered readers no mission statement, editor's notes or biographic notes on contributors. At the beginning of each issue it instead presented different dictionary entries for the word "oblique".

*o•blék* focused on publishing poets away from the mainstream and associated with various types and schools of poetry. Poets often associated with Language poetry frequently appeared, including Clark Coolidge, Lyn Hejinian, and Michael Palmer. Other frequent contributors were Fanny Howe, Robert Creeley, Rosmarie Waldrop, Edmond Jabès, and John Wieners, Ben Marcus, Cole Swensen, Roberto Tejada, Mark McMorris, and Elizabeth Willis. Other contributors are associated with the New York School tradition: Ted Berrigan, Kenward Elmslie, Bernadette Mayer, Charles North, Alice Notley, Ron Padgett, David Shapiro, Marjorie Welish, and John Yau.

## History

The first issue of the magazine was dated April 1987. The publication was put out at a cost of about $4,100 with borrowed money and sold out its run of 1,000 copies after about 18 months. At the end of its first year, the magazine had about 75 subscribers, a number which rose to 275 after six years (not including libraries, which mostly subscribed through jobbers).

Gizzi has written that "in the mid to late 80's \[...\] I was waiting tables and reading books and editing my journal, *o-blek*". With the sacrifices, Gizzi has said, came success. The journal received numerous grants, is in the permanent collections of major libraries, and continues to be cited in poetry criticism.

In 1990 o•blék was the focus of the 7th International Literary Conference at the Fondation Royaumont in France. Poets and critics attended from all over France to discuss the journal and independent literary production.

With the publication of the twelfth issue in 1993, the magazine had put out more than 2,500 pages of contemporary poetry from three generations of poets.

In 1993, Gizzi left the publication, turning it over to others, although no further issues were published. By early 1995 the magazine was being folded up.

## Spelling and punctuation of the magazine's name

The name of the magazine is supposed to appear as it does in some dictionaries showing the pronunciation of "oblique"  with a lower-case "o", a bullet, and an accent over the "e". It has been represented at the *Best American Poetry* Web site as "o.blek" but most other citations use a hyphen. Most other citations of the magazine punctuate it with a hyphen after the "o" and with no accent: "o-blek" Citations are nearly universal in not capitalizing the first letter in the name.

## Editorial philosophy

Speaking as part of a panel discussion at a 1993 poetry conference, editor Connell McGrath described some of the editors' principles in running the magazine. McGrath said:

The principles behind *o•blék* are that we try to present work as faithfully as possible according to typescript. The second principle is that we try to exclusively accept work only on the basis of our own taste. I find I've seen in the past a lot of publications that operate in terms of trying to represent something or do something specific and I think that that's fine but I think that the most powerful things I've seen are things that admit personal taste as the only basis to make that decision on.

At another point, McGrath said:

What I see happening for us is that we can get sidetracked, I can get sidetracked by questions of fame, for instance, if so and so is a good poet—you \[to panel moderator Jefferson Hansen, editor of *Poetic Briefs*\] did a little thing in the story that Mr. Schmo sent in about a famous poet sending in a bad poem and publishing it anyway and there's enormous temptation in that and we try not to do it. Sometimes we do do it anyway. And then there are also other considerations, considerations of friendship, anyone who's been an editor for any amount of time knows it's easy to hurt people's feelings and make enemies and I don't like to do that myself but it happens anyway. So there are other considerations that seem to sidetrack me from this principle.

## Issues

The first 11 issues were published on almost square pages; the twelfth was much larger, in two volumes.

### o•blék/1

Contributors: along with Peter and his brother Michael Gizzi, these included: Anne-Marie Albiach, Bruce Andrews, Clark Coolidge, Michael Gizzi, Emmanuel Hocquard, Edmond Jabès, Paul Metcalf, Michael Palmer, Ray Ragosta, Robert Tejada, Keith Waldrop, Rosmarie Waldrop, Marjorie Welsh John Yau, and Geoffrey Young,

The first edition, printed in April 1987, was 142 pages long, with a press run of 1,000 copies.

### Other issues

### o•blék/12

Brought out in 1993, as a two-volume set, the twelfth issue had a total of 600 pages and was titled, *Writing from the New Coast*, with one volume further titled *Presentation* and another *Technique*. It focused on new and emerging writers. *Technique*, was edited by Gizzi and poet Juliana Spahr, and much of its contents ultimately came from a conference held at the State University of New York at Buffalo. Contributors include Lee Ann Brown and Jessica Grim.

From Gizzi's foreword:

We are the generation of artists that grew up with a photograph of the earth tacked to our walls. When that first image of the earth was sent back in 1959 our conception of this place was changed materially. No longer was it to be a world so defined by our ancestors; in that swift shutter and instant transmission it became worlds, peoples, and languages. All boundaries or clear definitions of identity are eroded, active and blurred. Simone Weil said "You could not be born at a better period than the present, when we have lost everything." We live in this space of multiplicity where the ability to construct a single world with shared aspirations, sensitivities and imagination is not only improbable but impossible. Yet it is poetry's function to aspire to the impossible, because poetry works through a human agency – the generosity of a reader and a writer. Poetry demands that a risk be taken, and from this act of intelligence courage claims precedence over poverty of spirit.

# Hula Angel

**Hula Angel** (foaled 19 March 1996) was an American-bred, British-trained Thoroughbred racehorse and broodmare best known for winning the Irish 1,000 Guineas in 1999. As a two-year-old she showed steady improvement in six races, winning a maiden on her third appearance and finishing third in the Oh So Sharp Stakes before winning the Group Two Rockfel Stakes. In the following spring she finished sixth in the 1000 Guineas before recording her biggest win in the Irish equivalent at the Curragh. She was well beaten in two subsequent races and was retired from racing at the end of the year. Hula Angel finished ahead of the 1,000 Guineas winner Wince in three of their four racecourse meetings. She has had some success a dam of winners.

## Background

Hula Angel was a bay mare with a narrow white blaze bred in Kentucky by Maktoum Al Maktoum's Gainsborough Farm. As a yearling she was sent to Europe and put up for auction in October 1997 at Goffs where she was bought for IR£85,000 by the bloodstock agents BBA Ireland. The filly entered the ownership of Jim Fleming and was sent into training with Barry Hills at Lambourn in Berkshire. She was ridden in all but one of her races by her trainer's son Michael Hills.

She was sired by Woodman an American-bred stallion who raced in Europe, winning the Anglesey Stakes and the Futurity Stakes as a two-year-old in 1985. He later had great success as a breeding stallion in the United States, siring Hector Protector, Hansel, Timber Country, Bosra Sham and Hawk Wing. Her dam Jode was a half-sister to the Kentucky Derby winner Spend A Buck.

## Racing career

### 1998: two-year-old season

On her racecourse debut Hula Angel started at odds of 8/1 in maiden race over seven furlongs at Sandown Park Racecourse on 4 July in which she finished seventh of the ten runners behind the colt Aljabr. Racing against female opposition in a maiden over the same distance at Goodwood on 30 July she finished third behind the Henry Cecil-trained Bionic. On 19 August in a maiden at Kempton she recorded her first success as she led from the start and won by four lengths from the favourite Oriental Fashion. The filly was moved up sharply in class when she was sent to Ireland for the Group One Moyglare Stud Stakes at the Curragh on 6 September. Starting a 14/1 outsider she led for most of the way before fading in the closing stages and finishing eighth of the thirteen runners behind Edabiya.

After a four-week break, Hula Angel returned in the Listed Oh So Sharp Stakes over seven furlongs at Newmarket Racecourse on 3 October. After being restrained by Hills in the early stages she struggled to obtain a clear run in the last quarter mile but stayed on to take third place behind Smittenby and Fragrant Oasis with favourite Wince in fifth place. Two weeks later over the same course and distance she started at odds of 10/1 in a fourteen-runner field for the Group Two Rockfel Stakes. Wince started favourite while the other runners included Subito (Blue Seal Stakes), Atlantic Destiny (Sirenia Stakes), Fragrant Oasis and Valentine Waltz. After settling just behind the leaders she went to the front a furlong from the finish and won by a length and a quarter from Valentine Waltz, with the other Hills-trained runner Hasty Words a hort head away in third place.

### 1999: three-year-old season

Hula Angel began her second season in the 1000 Guineas run that year over the July Course at Newmarket on 2 May. Starting at odds of 14/1 she tracked the leaders on the stands-side (the right-hand side from the jockeys' viewpoint) but made little progress in the closing stages and finished sixth behind Wince, Wannabe Grand, Valentine Waltz, Capistrano Day and Pescara. Three weeks later at the Curragh she faced Wince yet again in the Irish 1000 Guineas and started a 16/1 outsider whilst her old rival was made the 5/4 favourite. The other fifteen runners included Edabiya, Sunspangled, Mythical Girl (Princess Margaret Stakes), Show Me The Money (Round Tower Stakes, Cornwallis Stakes, Leopardstown 1,000 Guineas Trial Stakes), Capistrano Day and Carambola (Derrinstown Stud 1,000 Guineas Trial). Hills positioned her on the outside just behind the leaders as Carambola set the pace, before beginning to make progress approaching the final quarter mile. She took the lead a furlong from the finish and held on under strong pressure to win by a neck and a head from the outsiders Golden Silca and Dazzling Park. After the race Barry Hills said "She has done it well today. The ground was on the fast side for her at Newmarket. Obviously the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot is on the agenda, but I would like to run her over a mile and a quarter at some stage and she could go for the Nassau Stakes at Goodwood."

Hula Angel failed to reproduce her Curragh form in two subsequent races. In the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot on 16 June she finished unplaced behind Balisada after being hampered two furlongs from the finish. On her final appearance she made little impact as she finished seventh of the eight runners in the Falmouth Stakes at Newmarket on 9 July.

## Breeding record

Hula Angel was retired from racing to become a broodmare. In 2008 she was put up for auction at the Inglis Weanling & Breeding Stock Sale and was bought for $528,220 by Heritage Bloodstock. She has produced at least eleven foals and six winners:

* Stormy Love, a chestnut colt, foaled in 2002, by Giant's Causeway. Failed to win in four races.
* Sicilian, bay colt (later gelded), 2003, by Sadler's Wells. Won one race.
* Shevchenko, brown colt (gelded), 2004, by Rock of Gibraltar. Won three races.
* The Fist of God, bay colt (gelded), 2005, by Sadler's Wells. Won six races.
* Gazardiel, bay colt (later gelded), 2007, by Redoute's Choice. Won one race.
* Sarasini, bay filly, 2008, by Elusive Quality. Won one race in South Africa.
* Everglades Island, bay colt, 2010, by Montjeu. Failed to win in two races.
* Tigris River, bay colt (gelded), 2011, by Montjeu. Won four races.
* Promise Me, bay mare, 2012, by Montjeu
* Angels Seven, bay filly, 2013, by Galileo. Failed to win in three races.
* Hula High, colt, 2015, by High Chaparral

**Guasipati** is a town that serves as the administrative seat of Roscio Municipality in the state of Bolívar, Venezuela. It was founded on 27 September 1757. Its economy depends highly on the gold of its land and that of El Callao.The city is located in the vicinity of the Denguesito ríachuelos to the northwest and the Cunurí to the west, both tributaries of the Miamo river. According to data from the National Institute of Statistics (census 2011) the population of Guasipati is 21,165 inhabitants.

## History

Guasipati the eleven of the Missions of the Caroni and El Dorado, was founded in 1757. In the local Caribbean dialect, guasipati means "beautiful land". Guasipati did not become a prosperous or productive member of the mission system because its soils were not so fertile and the other missions had to share their meat and cassava with it. When in 1853 they discovered "the richest gold mines in the world" 18 km south of El Callao, Guasipati revived. It was decreed capital of the newly formed Yuruari Territory, and during the 30 years that followed the discovery of the gold veins of El Callao, the area of waterlogged gold prospectors that came to Guasipati to request the granting of solid rock concessions.

Currently, Guasipati continues to be the political and administrative heart of a good part of Venezuela's gold and diamond producing area. Agricultural and logging, mining and cheerful center, via El Palmar, taste of good Guyanese cheese, fruits of the tropics and good people.

## Geography

The municipality of Roscio is located in the northeast of the state of Bolivar and has a total of **6,182** km². The capital of the municipality is Guasipati and El Miamo is the second most important population in the municipality of Roscio.

# Handri-Neeva

**Handri-Neeva Sujala Sravanthi project** is the longest water canal project in the region of Rayalaseema, Andhra Pradesh, India. The project was conceived to provide a reliable irrigation and drinking water supply for the region through drawing flood waters from the Srisailam reservoir.

The first phase of the canal begins at Malyala and irrigates six lakh acres in four districts of Rayalaseema, while the second phase provides irrigation facilities and drinking water for Chittoor district. This canal links the Handri, Penna, Chitravathi, Papagni, Mandavya, Bahuda, Cheyyeru, Gargeya, Vedavati, Palar and several smaller rivers in the Rayalaseema region. The canal is located in the Kurnool, Ananthapur, Kadapa, and Chittoor districts. The canal feeds several reservoirs and water tanks in the region. More than 50 Tmcft of water is required to meet the region's drinking and irrigation water requirements.

## History

The project was originally conceived by Englishman Sir Arthur Cotton in the late 19th century. However, designs were only finalised during the term of N. T. Rama Rao in the 1980s and 1990s. Budget allocation began in 2004 during the tenure of Y.S.Rajasekhara Reddy.

The first phase of construction of the project began in 2005, during the tenure of Shri Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy The project is designed to utilise surplus water from the Krishna River; however, this river is unreliable and does not ensure consistent allocation of water to the drought-prone Rayalaseema and Nellore districts. Several political members had previously demanded speedy completion of irrigation projects in Rayalaseema. The two riparian states of the Krishna River, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, are involved in a dispute over sharing water of the river.

## The Project

The lift canal has a length of nearly 550 km. The canal starts from the back waters of the Srisailam reservoir at Malyala and is routed along the hill ridges up to the highlands in Chittoor district via the many lifts and pumping stations in the Kurnool, Ananthapur and Kadapa districts, ending at the Adavipalli Reservoir. The canal feeds many tanks used for drinking water and irrigation. The project plans to draw nearly 40 Tmcft of water annually from the Krishna River.

The minimum draw down level for the Malyala pump house is 830 feet (253 m) MSL. The project's annual operational requirement is 653 MW and 1.9 billion KWh of electrical energy, which is used to pump nearly 30 Tmcft of water.

The first phase of the canal (220 kilometers in length), from Srisailam to Jeedipalli reservoir, has been completed. This reservoir is located at Chinna Mushtur village in Ananthapur district. 3 balancing reservoirs constructed in Phase 1. These include Krishnagiri (Kurnool District), Pathikonda Reservoir (Kurnool District), and Jeedipalli Reservoir (Anantapuramu District).

The second phase (349 kilometers in length, 75% completed) of the main canal leading up to Adivipalli Reservoir in Chittoor district. Running at full capacity, it is predicted to give IP to 404,500 acres and drinking water facilities for 23 lakh people in 293 villages in the region. It will use 26 Tmcft of water to this effect, diverted through the 3 branch canals Madakasira, Punganur and Niva and the 3 distributaries Atmakuru, Thamballapalli, Vayalpadu. In the upland areas of Rayalaseema District (Anantapur, Kadapa and Chittoor), the canal will fill six reservoirs - Veligallu Dam Reservoir and 5 balancing reservoirs constructed in Phase-II, Gollapalli Reservoir (Anantapuramu), Cherlopalli Reservoir (Anantapuramu), Marala Reservoir (Anantapuramu), 4. Srinivasapuram Reservoir (Kadapa), and Adivipalli Reservoir (Chittoor).

The Handri-Neeva can also feed by gravity the Tungabhdra high level canal and many other medium & minor tanks in Penna River basin to provide drinking water during severe droughts. This canal also feeds water to Bhairivani Tippa reservoir and other medium & minor irrigation tanks located in Krishna river basin of Ananthapur district to ensure the sufficient water in the area even during droughts. Thus, the canal also serves as an alternate source to feed Krishna river water to major, medium & minor irrigation projects, which have access to nearly 45 Tmcft of Krishna water under Bachawat tribunal award allocations.

To make the lift canal operational for catering to drinking water needs even during a severe drought year, K.C. Canal water sourced from Sunkesula Barrage can be fed to the canal's pump house by gravity when water level in the Srisailam reservoir is below the minimum draw down level required by the water pumps.

A supplementary pump house at Mutchumarri, which will draw water from Srisailam reservoir at 800 feet (244 m) MSL is in an advanced stage of construction. This pump house with its pipelines and canals can feed the nearby K.C. canal in addition to the Malyala pump house of Handri Neeva lift canal from dead storage water even during very poor monsoon year.

title: Typhleotris madagascariensis

abstract: Typhleotris madagascariensis is a species of fish in the family Milyeringidae that is endemic to Madagascar, where it is only known from underground waters in the southwestern portion of the island. This cavefish is blind and lacks pigmentation, and can reach a standard length of 8 cm (3.1 in). This species is known from more than 10 caves and sinkholes in the Mahafaly Plateau region, in places where the water temperature typically ranges from 26 to 30 °C (79–86 °F) and the pH is slightly above neutral. Although considered endangered because of its restricted range and not found to be common anywhere in its range in earlier studies, recent surveys found that the species is locally abundant, occurring in especially high numbers in the Andranoilove, Andriamaniloke, Lalia and Mitoho caves. In the southern part of its range, T. madagascariensis co-occurs with T. mararybe, which is not as common or widespread. T. madagascariensis feeds on various invertebrates. Some of the limestone caves where this fish can be found are protected by the Tsimanampetsotsa National Park, including the Mitoho Grotto tourist site. The IUCN currently assess the species as Endangered, but it has stated that further research is necessary on the taxonomic status of different populations of T. madagascarensis as the populations in unconnected cave systems may actually be allopatric species; if this is the case then the IUCN's assessment may require to be changed to Critically Endangered as the range for any individual species will be less than that for T. madagascarensis sensu lato.

title: Hulan River

abstract: The Hulan River is a river in Heilongjiang Province, China. The Hulan rises in the Lesser Khingan mountains, south of Yichun. It flows west past Tieli and north of Suihua. After the confluence with the Tongken River, it turns south to join the Songhua River in Hulan County, where it flows into the new Dadingshan Reservoir, just east of Harbin,. The river meanders extensively across the Northeast China Plain, creating many bifurcations and oxbow lakes. The approximate length is 350 km, but there is often more than one stream, and the actual distance, including all the bends, is 532 km. The area of the catchment basin is 31,207 km⁲. It has a wide floodplain of fertile black soil. After a comprehensive management plan for the river basin was implemented in the 1950s, it became a center of production for grain, flax, and sugar beet. There is a tributary called the Xiaohulan River, which flows northwest to join the main river west of Tieli. Other tributaries include the Yijimi, Ougen, Liu, Gemuke, Nuomin, Ni, and Tongken Rivers. On 1 April 2020, the river suffered pollution from Molybdenum and related refining materials, from a smelter in Yichun.

# Horndale

**Horndale** is an historical location in South Australia, home of the Horndale Winery.

## History

Horndale winery was established by Thomas Sutherland Horn (1849–1914), Percy Austin Horn (1851–1927) and Charles Austin Horn (1855–1928) were partners in the stockbroking firm of Horn & Co. (founded ) with offices in Comstock Chambers, King William Street, Adelaide. They were sons of Edward Kirk Horn (1809–1882) and his wife Emily Horn, née Austin. Another brother, William Austin Horn MHA, was not involved with the firm.

Around 1890, with the collapse of the Broken Hill mining boom, the brothers purchased a vineyard at Happy Valley, South Australia, jointly owned with Richard Vernon Cholmondeley (died 1918). Magnificent cellars were started in 1896, under the design and supervision of Cholmondeley, who was also responsible for those at Vale Royal winery, 2.4 kilometres (1.5 mi) to the west. The partnership was dissolved on 1 August 1904, and ownership passed to the partnership of Cholmondeley and Herbert Percival Basedow.

In 1902 the property was 320 acres, of which two hundred acres were under vine, mostly Cabernet and Shiraz, from which Bernard "Ben" Basedow (c. 1880 – 13 July 1930), second son of M. P. F. Basedow MLC, made a full-bodied, dry red claret type, which took first prize at the Sydney Show. In 1910 258 acres were under grapes.

In 1909 Basedow purchased the Horndale establishment, until his death operating it as a model winery and distillery with the assistance of his brother Alf and input from brother Herbert.

In 1947 Horndale was purchased by the Sydney office of the US meat processing firm of Swift & Company, and the cellarage capacity reduced from 350,000 to 200,000 imperial gallons (1,590 to 910 kL) and new distillation plant installed. The winery at that time covered 170 acres (69 ha).

## Later history

Since 1984 the winery has been operated by the Albrecht family. Its business is now winemaking and distillation, purchasing grapes from vineyards in nearby McLaren Vale and Langhorne Creek. The Horndale vineyard now (2024) covers around one acre, planted with red Frontignac vines, whose grapes are used for brandy.
