Titlagarh Junction railway station

Titilagarh Junction railway station (station code:- TIG) is a major railway junction located in the Indian state of Odisha, and serves Titilagarh in Balangir district. People from nearby villages (such as Sindhekela, Kholan, Naren, Parasara, Chandotara, Turla, Ghodar, Udepur & others) are mostly dependent on Titilagarh railway station for their travel.

History

The 79 km (49 mi) Vizianagaram–Parvatipuram line was opened in 1908–09. The Parvatipuram–Raipur line was completed in 1931.Dandakaranya Project), the Titilagarh–Bolangir–Jharsuguda Project and the Rourkela–Kiriburu Project. All the three projects taken together were popularly known as the DBK Project or the Dandakaranya Bolangir Kiriburu Project.

The Sambalpur - Titilagarh Railway line forms a part at the Project to develop capacity for the export of two million tons of ore annually through the Vragapattam Port. The Project is the result at a tripartite agreement between the US, Japan and our country. The Government of U.S.A. have agreed to make a loan at 20 million dollars and the loan from Japan would be in yens for an amount equivalent at 8 million dollars All negotiations in connection with this project have been carried on by the Ministry of Finance.

According to the present estimates construction of the railway line which is going to be 114 tows in length sanctioned on 24 April 1959 would cost Rs. 14.58 crores. That would be the constructtion part of it We would require some more money for import of diesel locomotives and all that For that we hope the United States loan will be available.

Railway reorganisation

List of DMZ characters

DMZ is an American comic book series set in a near future war-torn New York City that ran for 72 issues from 2005 to 2012. Characters in the story are, for the most part, subjects of either the United States federal government and its corporate affiliates, the rival Free States of America, or natives of the demilitarized zone (DMZ) of Manhattan island.

Factions

Free States of America

Originally a largely disorganized movement of right wing and anti-federal militias, the FSA has come to seize control of large areas of territory from the U.S. government. The FSA arose out of anger and disillusion following the U.S. government's continual engagement in foreign wars. Before the U.S. had the chance to respond militarily to the threat inside its own borders the FSA had amassed enough support and materials to fight the returning and exhausted U.S. military at Allentown, Pennsylvania to a stand still.

The FSA is revealed to be fighting an asymmetric war employing conventional tactics as well as unconventional ones. The FSA has used money, intimidation and violence to compel state and local government officials to align with their cause. FSA influence is extensive and not fully known, for example a FSA commander which Matty Roth met with claimed that the governing authorities of the neutral city of Chicago to actually be FSA affiliated, capable of flipping at any time and initiating a new front in the war.

Perceived and portrayed as an army of rednecks and backwoods hicks (a label the FSA doesn't seem to mind at times) the FSA is a sophisticated and dangerous force even claiming to have large conventional forces poised to take the DMZ and end the war. The FSA operates on the western side of the Lincoln Tunnel launching its own operations into the DMZ. The flag of the FSA consists of a five-pointed star (like those on the U.S. flag), with a diagonal line splitting the star in half, symbolizing the breakup of the United States of America (it resembles the Bonnie Blue Flag during the First American Civil War by another secessionist regime, the Confederate States).


List of DMZ characters

The penultimate volume of the series, Free States Rising, included several flashbacks which provided more information on how the FSA began, combined with other scattered references in earlier issues. The U.S. had become entangled in numerous and increasingly expensive anti-terrorism campaigns around the globe, decried as "foreign adventurism", until ultimately three quarters of a million U.S. soldiers were deployed fighting on six fronts around the globe (the most recent being the Horn of Africa). These interventions were alternatively described as "three different wars on as many continents". This strained the domestic economy and infrastructure to the point


List of DMZ characters

to the point of near-collapse, with domestic spending co-opted to fund these overseas "police actions". Due to massive budget cuts, municipal authorities were forced to abandon entire neighborhoods, with basic utilities, public transit, and 911 services shut down. This reduced vast swaths of major cities to ghost towns, including Detroit, St. Louis, Chicago, Portland, Boston, Miami, and most recently, Richmond. Despite this dire situation, the federal government passes the largest war spending bill in history, devoted entirely to funding the ever-expanding overseas wars. This led to the accusation from much of the country that the military-industrial


List of DMZ characters

that the military-industrial complex had abandoned the United States's own citizens: even as large portions of major cities were being abandoned due to lack of public utilities, major corporations were actually making record profits from supplying the U.S. military's foreign wars. Protests erupted around a G8 summit held in Phoenix, Arizona, which turned particularly violent. Ultimately, local anti-government militias in Montana started a secessionist movement, which quickly spread to other states - sometimes directly, but frequently other local groups were inspired to spontaneously join in due to the crippling domestic problems and anti-government anger across the country.


List of DMZ characters

across the country. As explained later in the series, the FSA was not so much a rival nation as an ideology, and had no clear hierarchical leadership. Eventually the anti-government militias coalesced and began to spread eastwards. The same massive budget cuts that the militias were protesting against had also gutted domestic police forces, so they encountered very little opposition. Even National Guard bases were practically undefended due to budget cuts, and considered "ripe for the picking" as the militias began to pick their armories clean of heavy military hardware. The split-star flag of the movement began appearing


List of DMZ characters

movement began appearing across the country, and the disparate anti-government forces began calling themselves "the Free States of America". Many bitter and underfunded National Guard units actually began to defect to the FSA rather than fight them, giving a boost to the skill and training level of their forces. The U.S. military was stretched so thinly due to foreign interventions that when what regular forces could be assembled finally faced the FSA militia units in Allentown, Pennsylvania, the FSA actually managed to defeat them. Even the FSA forces were surprised at their own rapid advance. At this


List of DMZ characters

advance. At this point the federal government yanked back all military forces from foreign fronts and redeployed them on U.S. soil to stem the tide of the insurrection. For a time this worked, and the U.S. seemed to be gaining the upper hand, but then on Day 204 U.S. soldiers accidentally gunned down a crowd of unarmed protesters in Manhattan. This caused the U.S. to lose its momentum, and each side settled into a stalemate which lasted for a decade.


List of DMZ characters

Not much is revealed about the state of affairs in the rest of America, but in general, the U.S. government only maintains firm control over New England and Long Island, while everything westward is a warzone of sectarian violence between U.S. and FSA forces. The FSA firmly controls New Jersey and Staten Island, from which it launches its continued pushes to take Manhattan - as the nation's largest city, both sides see controlling New York as a symbol of control over the entire country. Many cities have also apparently declared their official neutrality: it is mentioned that Chicago is officially neutral, though it privately has leanings towards the FSA.

Later in the series the FSA commander and some of his troops assist the newly formed Delgado nation in acquiring a nuclear weapon, in order to put more pressure on the U.S. government (it is later revealed by the FSA commander that the FSA were the true backers behind the formation of Delgado Nation). The strategy eventually ends up working against the FSA though as the U.S. simply uses the event as a pretext to finally go on the offensive into the DMZ. During the offensive the FSA commander is captured (and subsequently executed) while the main conventional army of the FSA is defeated on Manhattan. With one of its leaders dead and the bulk of its army defeated, the FSA movement is finally all but crushed after a decade of civil war. The war officially ends with the U.S. and the FSA signing an armistice.

United States


List of DMZ characters

United States

The officially-recognized U.S. government has largely lost control or is contending over much of the territory of the United States. From the comic it appears one of the few places the U.S. has complete control is Long Island, where it launches its many offensives into the DMZ. Pushed to the brink by the war, the U.S. possesses a technologically sophisticated and extensive military force capable of meting out serious destruction both against its enemies and the civilians caught in the cross fire. The U.S. has demonstrated that it faces issues of deep corruption and will do anything (or kill anyone) in its efforts to end the war and secure the DMZ. What remains of the United States as a faction is dominated by the military-industrial complex: even five years into the stalemated war with no end in sight, the U.S. government cynically makes open announcements in the press that it is promising massive graft contracts to Trustwell, Inc. and other large corporations for the future reconstruction of New York City.

One of the few remaining advantages the U.S. has is that it still maintains total air superiority against the FSA, which does not have its own rival air force. The FSA, however, simply uses asymmetric warfare tactics in response, drastically decreasing the value of air power geared towards fighting a conventional war.


List of DMZ characters

After the rise of Delgado Nation in the DMZ, and their subsequent acquirement of a nuclear warhead, the United States military detonates a nuclear device of their own in order to frame the newly formed nation and thus give the U.S. a legitimate reason to move into Manhattan and end the war. After a sustained shock and awe bombing campaign on the DMZ the U.S. military finally moves in, fighting their way through both DMZ militias and FSA troops. The U.S. eventually gains control of Manhattan and through both Matty's efforts and the interrogation of the FSA Commander, Parco Delgado is captured. While the U.S. gains the upper hand in the conflict, Matty discovers the cover-up used to justify the U.S. offensive and uses evidence of it to blackmail the U.S. government into pardoning the life of Parco Delgado in exchange for Matty's own silence on his knowledge of the nuclear detonation (a deal in which Matty directly negotiates with the U.S. President himself). With the truth of the cover-up sealed, the United States is finally able to both secure the DMZ and defeat the FSA Army, thus finally ending the Second American Civil War. The war officially concludes with the signing of an armistice between the U.S. and the FSA.

Trustwell Inc.

Trustwell Inc. is a private military contractor that operates throughout the DMZ under contract from the U.S. government. Ruthless and amoral, Trustwell has been shown to kill civilians, fund terrorism, torture and manipulate events to ensure that its role (and profits) in the DMZ only expands.

Following Parco Delgado's election, Trustwell has withdrawn much of its official presence but hundreds of its agents remain within the DMZ, stranded and desperate. When the war concludes, Trustwell ensures that they can continue their involvement in the DMZ through a rebranded construction company.

DMZ militias


List of DMZ characters

DMZ militias

Largely formed out of the need for DMZ residents to defend their neighborhoods, the militias protect certain areas while fighting with one another for territory. When the initial FSA offensive reached Manhattan there was a mass evacuation of the island, but in many ways it was botched and several hundred thousand residents remain trapped in the city. After five full years of the island being reduced to a "demilitarized zone" - a major front in the war with sporadic flareups - these local militias have carved out their own enclaves in different parts of what used to be a thriving metropolis. Some are loyal to the FSA, others to the US, and there is an ongoing proxy conflict between them. Many militias, however, are loyal to no side but their own, feeling abandoned by the outside world - equally blaming the FSA for starting the war, and the U.S. government for the massive corruption that led to the FSA's creation in the first place, and their continued lack of concern for their well-being.

Militias are always hostile to incursions from the U.S. or FSA military and will attack anything or any person they deem a threat.

Wilson's Triads

A dominant criminal organization operating out of and zealously guarding Chinatown, mostly apolitical and generally stays out of conflicts. However, the Triads do exert significant influence on the events within the DMZ such as providing Parco Delgado with a portion of gold left behind before the conflict so he could finance his acquisition of a nuclear weapon. The U.S. government tries to pay Wilson to surrender before the bombing campaign near the end of the war. Wilson refuses their demands to leave Chinatown but allows his people to evacuate to safety. He is killed in the ensuing airstrikes, becoming a martyr to the people of Chinatown for protecting them throughout the war.

Delgado Nation


List of DMZ characters

Delgado Nation

Supporters of Parco Delgado. Part political party, part militia group which Matty Roth became extensively involved with. After the election of Parco Delgado to "governor of the DMZ" they extended their control to large areas of Manhattan. Delgado's government "evicted" US, FSA and Trustwell forces from the DMZ on his first day, but has maintained ties with FSA officials. The government raised the ire of the U.S. after acquiring a nuclear weapon, which caused the U.S. to deploy forces throughout the DMZ to search for it.

The U.S. detonated a nuclear device to destroy the Delgado's weapon hidden at the Indian Point Nuclear facility, then blamed the act on the Delgado Nation and used it as a pretext to attack the group. The Nation was left in disarray following U.S. strikes and the disappearance of Parco Delgado.

Central Park Ghosts

Small group of ex-US and FSA soldiers led by Soames who protect what little is left of Central Park. The group has had an important role in DMZ affairs supplying Parco Delgado with a nuclear weapon. Following the nuclear detonation, most of the group and Central Park was destroyed by U.S. reprisals. Their leader Soames is revealed to have survived the bombardment but his mind has completely collapsed into madness and Central Park is left a toxic scar on the city.

Fur Hat Militia

A distinctive militia group whose members wear a fur hat and gas mask in the DMZ to conceal their identities, the group's main objective seems to cause as much destruction and mayhem to the settlements in the DMZ as possible, randomly killing anything that moves. Not much is known about the group initially. They operated out of the damaged, but still standing, Empire State Building.


List of DMZ characters

It is later revealed in the "No Future" story arc that most, if not all, of them were once members of the New York City police and fire departments. As emergency services they desperately tried and failed to maintain order as city and the nation fell apart, only to see it destroyed by the very people they were trying to protect. Many of their families were also killed in the process. Now they consider themselves an army of dead men, refocusing their anguish over the fall of the city by exacting bitter vengeance on those still fighting in the ruins. They equally hate and attack both FSA and U.S. forces and allied street gangs: the FSA for starting the war, and the U.S. forces for allowing the FSA to happen in the first place. As many of them were formerly members of the police force they are very well organized, functioning like a small professional army, coordinating their attacks with scouts and calling in reinforcements by radio. The militia is described as in many ways a death cult, its members holding routine group therapy sessions instead of prayer, operating in shifts and severing all contact with the outside world.

At the end of the war many returned to larger society while others committed suicide. One lone member remained behind at the conclusion of the war.

Individual characters

Matthew (Matty) Roth


List of DMZ characters

The protagonist of the series, Matthew (Matty) Roth, begins the story as a naïve photo journalism intern for the fictional Liberty News Network, a part of Viktor Ferguson's crew entering the DMZ for the first time to report on the conditions of the war-torn United States. While landing in Manhattan, Matty is left stranded in the DMZ when the crew are attacked by local militia. In the chaos and confusion, Matty meets Zee who treats his wounds and acts as his reluctant guardian and guide in the DMZ. Being the only source of news coming out of the

out of the DMZ, Matty unintentionally becomes a national and international celebrity — an advantage and a curse. Matty's reporting elevates his position in the DMZ and he becomes extensively involved with the government of Parco Delgado. His involvement with the government and his actions with them ultimately has dire consequences for himself and the DMZ. Matty becomes heavily involved with Parco and his government and helps facilitate the transfer of a nuclear weapon into Parco's control. As Matty amasses more power in Parco's government he gains control of his own special military unit that he

unit that he uses to kill Parco's opponents. After being assaulted by U.S. troops in the city, Matty orders his unit to hunt down and kill the soldiers but mistakenly ends up causing the death of a large group of civilians. After the detonation of the nuclear weapon at Indian Point and the collapse of the Delgado nation, Matty becomes persona non grata and lives in exile in the northern part of the city. Matty racked with guilt over his actions with Parco eventually accepts responsibility for his actions and resumes his role as a reporter in the

reporter in the closing stages of the war. During the final U.S. offensive Matty is able to obtain evidence that proves that the U.S. was behind the nuclear detonation at Indian Point as well as finding the location of Parco. Matty uses that knowledge to make a bargain with the U.S. President to spare Parco's life in exchange to keep the information concealed, in order to allow the U.S. to maintain their moral high ground and conclude the war. At the end of the war Matty is brought up on charges of crimes against humanity, the U.S.

the U.S. government using his actions in the DMZ and as a member of the Delgado government against him. Still regretful over his actions as a member of Parco's government he admits guilt to all the charges and is sentenced to life in prison. The series concludes with Matty giving instructions to the prison transport on the best route so he could get one final look at a recovering New York City.


List of DMZ characters

Zee Hernandez

Prior to the War, Zee was a medical student working at the local hospitals in downtown Manhattan. In the days leading up the U.S. Army's confrontation with the Free Armies, Zee tended to the victims of the various bombings that occurred around New York City. When the U.S. government evacuated Manhattan, Zee remained behind to help tend to the hundreds of thousands left behind in the conflict. Zee, like all of the residents of Manhattan, adapted to the new harsh reality of life in the DMZ. Hard, street-wise and highly suspicious of people outside of the DMZ, Zee does her best to aid the people of Manhattan, including responding to the various bombings and US/Free Army incursions into the city while making regular visits to the local clinics set up around the city. Zee was initially distrusting of Matty, believing him to merely be a tourist in the DMZ. However, as Matty's role as a reporter grows in the DMZ the initial distrust gives way to a strong friendship and relationship. However, that relationship is nearly destroyed as a consequence of Matty's actions as a member of Parco Delgado's government.

Wilson

A Chinese immigrant, Wilson runs Chinatown and is a confidant to Matty. Wilson frequently checks Matty's new gear for surveillance bugs, in exchange for the goods Matty doesn't want. He is a former enforcer who gained notoriety at the start of the war. His power and prestige grow greatly during the war and he is considered the de facto leader and protector of Chinatown, helping to maintain its independence and identity in the chaos of the war. In the final stages of the war as the U.S. launches its bombing campaign, Wilson opts to stay but is given one final massive display of respect by the citizens before they evacuate. He is killed by the U.S. bombing.

Parco Delgado


List of DMZ characters

Parco Delgado

A native of Manhattan, Parco is the charismatic populist governor of the DMZ. Described as having qualities of Hugo Chavez and other populist leaders, Parco emerged as a candidate in opposition to the handpicked candidates of the U.S. and FSA. Parco's refusal to be a pawn for U.S. or FSA interests may have been a cause of his attempted assassination. Parco has been criticized as merely a gangster making a grab at legitimate power but he remains very popular in the DMZ. Matty became heavily involved with Parco in both his campaign and government. Matty fearing and resenting that his role in Delgado's government was being marginalized, demanded after securing a nuclear weapon for Parco a greater role in his government. The seizure of a nuclear weapon made Parco and his movement a U.S. target. After the "detonation" of the weapon (actually the detonation of a U.S. weapon made to look like Parco's) provided the U.S. with the pretext and support to initiate a final offensive in the DMZ, Parco disappeared and his organization collapsed. Parco was revealed by the FSA commander to be in hiding with the information proving the U.S. was behind the nuclear detonation. It is also revealed that Parco and his government was a ploy by the FSA to gain an ally in the DMZ that would help them end the war. Parco is eventually captured by the US, but as a result of a deal made by Matty Roth, he is only subject to a mock execution and instead goes into exile.

The FSA Commander


List of DMZ characters

The FSA Commander

A calm and brilliant tactician who commands the FSA forces in the Jersey area. Throughout the series he is seen leading and carrying out schemes and operations into the DMZ in order to discredit and hamper the U.S. government’s war effort. The Commander uses or manipulates Matty during some of these schemes, mostly as a mediator to bring the demands of the FSA to the attention of the U.S. government. In the “Free States Rising” story arc it is revealed he was once a gun runner who joined the FSA to clear his record. He then quickly raised through the FSA ranks and gained a strong sense of loyalty to the movement after he personally planned and executed the capture of The Holland Tunnel during the early stages of the war. Near the end of the war, the commander points Matty Roth to the location of Parco and the information he has on the nuke. He is eventually captured by the U.S. and thinks he's made a deal with them that will save him but is instead unceremoniously shot in the head by U.S. agents while asking for a ride back to New Jersey.

Books

  * The Soprano Sorceress (1997)

Anna Marshall is transported from her life in modern Iowa, to the medieval world of Erde. On Earth, Anna was a classical singer and professor of music. On Erde, singing is a rare skill, whose only use is sorcery. She must find a place for herself and learn sorcery before she is destroyed by powerful leaders who fear her. The society is intensely patriarchal, even misogynistic. As an unmarried woman who wants to remain independent, she is opposed by various male and female characters. She also finds allies, again from both genders. With each of her successes, the stakes get higher. Her arrival coincided with invasions by neighbouring countries. Anna's role becomes decisive in these wars.

  * The Spellsong War (1998)

Anna is now regent for the young heir to the kingdom of Defalk. The society is feudal and patriarchal and, as a female head of state, Anna is reviled by many, inside and outside of Defalk. She uses diplomacy where she can, and force of arms (and war sorcery) when she cannot. She begins to build national infrastructure (river bridges, postal mail, tax accounting, a school for noble heirs). When possible, she tries to improve the lot of the commoners, especially of women. Her innovations are often opposed and her successes often backfire. She defends her kingdom from treachery by her country's nobles, from peasant revolt, and from foreign invasion. Her sorcery becomes ever more powerful but at increasing personal cost.


Spellsong Cycle

* Darksong Rising (1999)

Anna is the most powerful sorceress on the continent. She is, again, subduing rebellious Defalkan lords and hostile neighbouring countries. Out of necessity, she acts ever more ruthlessly, eventually levelling an entire city. She suffers, from self-questioning as well as from the after-effects of sorcery. At the end of the book, she achieves an uneasy peace with the neighbouring countries and her nation-building efforts bring some prosperity to her subjects. She must remain forever vigilant and she can never return to her own children on Earth but she makes a life for herself on Erde that includes a little happiness.

  * The Shadow Sorceress (2001)

For decades, Anna was a source of stability, propping up the (now adult) king. She regularly used sorcery to eliminate opponents covertly. Anna trained her adopted daughter, Secca, and created an official position for Secca as a sorceress to the kingdom. Upon Anna's death, those who opposed her reforms seize the initiative. For Secca, losing Anna is very painful but matters unravel with frightening speed. To survive, and to preserve the society which Anna molded, Secca must fill Anna's shoes. As the story progresses, Secca matures and her self-confidence grows. She draws on Anna's teaching, discovering deeper meanings. She subdues rebellion, defeats new external enemies, and defends her position as Anna's heir. In so doing, she experiences the same dilemmas which Anna did, decades earlier.

  * Shadowsinger (2002)

Secca faces the ultimate enemy: an island nation of misogynist sorcerers, who have been instigating much of the strife on Erde, since before Anna's time. Secca acts boldly. She takes the fight to them and reduces their entire country to ashes, killing off most of the population.

Scarus psittacus

Scarus psittacus, the common parrotfish, is a species of marine ray-finned fish, a parrotfish, in the family Scaridae. Other common names for this species include the palenose parrotfish, Batavian parrotfish and the rosy-cheek parrotfish. It has a wide distribution in the Indo-Pacific region where it is associated with coral reefs. This species is utilised as food. It is the type species of the genus Scarus.

Description

Scarus psittacus attains a standard length of 30 centimetres (12 in).dorsal fin has 9 spines and 10 soft rays while the anal fin has 3 spines and 9 soft rays and the pectoral fin has 13–15 rays.caudal fin is deeply emaginate. The initial phase individuals are uniformly red-brown with a number of pale blotches and an obvious pale head. In the terminal phase they are mostly pale green to tan in colour, with a lavender face and blue bands over their upper lip which extend rearwards over the cheek below the eye, with a second green band behind the eye and more bands on the lower lip and chin.

Distribution

Scarus psittacus is widespread in the Indian and Pacific Oceans, its distribution extends from the Red Sea, Persian Gulf and Gulf of Aden to Sodwana Bay,Hawaii,Shark Bay in Western Australia and Lord Howe Island.

Habitat and biology


Scarus psittacus

Habitat and biology

Scarus psittacus is a common and typical species of reef fronts, as well as more sheltered areas of reefs and of lagoons. It occurs to a depth of 30 metres (98 ft).algae on which it feeds.S. psittacus is a protogynous hermaphrodite and is sexually dichromatic. The population is made up of a few large, colourful territorial males called terminal phase who guard groups, or harems, of smaller, less colourful individuals termed initial phase. Most of the initial phase individuals are females but around a quarter of the initial phase individuals caught off Oahu were males. These males are "sneaker males" which attend the mating of the terminal phase males with the females and attempt to inseminate some of the eggs laid. The terminal phase males usually start life as females and when there is no terminal male available the dominant female in the harem transforms into a male. The initial phase males are male throughout their life, and occasionally they can become terminal phase individuals.

Human usage

Scarus psittacus is caught in some small scale fisheries


Rudolf Geiger

Rudolf Oskar Robert Williams Geiger (/ˈɡaɪɡər/; German: [ˈɡaɪɡɐ]; 24 August 1894 – 22 January 1981) was a German meteorologist and climatologist. He was the son of Indologist Wilhelm Geiger and the brother of physicist Hans Geiger. He worked with Wladimir Köppen on climatology, hence the Köppen–Geiger climate classification.

Metacosa Movement

The Metacosa is an Italian art movement founded in the late 1970s.

History

The group was formed by Giuseppe Bartolini, Giuseppe Biagi, Gianfranco Ferroni, Bernardino Luino, Sandro Luporini, Lino Mannocci and Giorgio Tonelli.

The first exhibition was held in 1979 in Brescia, with the presentation of the critic Roberto Tassi who followed the activity also in the subsequent exhibitions. Other exhibitions were held in Milan, Viareggio, Bergamo and Vicenza.

The Metacosa has a figurative matrix of poetic intensity with accurate and calculated pictorial research. During his first exhibition in Brescia in 1979, Roberto Tassi wrote: "Every painter in this group has its own light, the quality and substance of light being different in each of them, the coincidence of poetics does not involve coincidence of style or poetry The fascination and the truth of the exhibition is precisely in this, in joining a common idea, and almost philosophy, painting, very different artists."

In 2004, at the Oberdan Square in Milan, the exhibition Methanoid Phenomenology was held by Philippe Daverio.


The Private Training and Education Federation (French: Fédération formation et enseignement privés, FEP) is a trade union representing workers in the education sector who are not public employees, in France.

The union was founded on 8 May 1938, at a meeting in Lyon, as the Federation of Free Education. It affiliated to the French Confederation of Christian Workers (CFTC), but achieved little before trade unions were banned during World War II. In 1945, it was reactivated, and it grew steadily. In 1964, it joined the majority of the CFTC in transferring to the new French Democratic Confederation of Labour,Private Education Federation.

By 1995, the union claimed 13,200 members.

Ulaanoosh Formation

The Ulaanoosh Formation, formerly Baruunbayan Formation, is a geologic formation in the Ömnögovi Province of southern Mongolia. The formation dates to the Albian to Cenomanian stages of the Cretaceous. The Ulaanoosh Formation has provided fossils of dinosaurs, turtles and dinosaur eggs assigned to Parafaveoloolithus sp.. In 2020, the neoceratopsian Beg tse was described from the alluvial sandstones, mudstones and conglomerates of the formation.

Description

The Ulaanoosh Formation was formerly considered to be the Baruunbayan Formation (or Baruunbayan Svita in Russian or Mongolian),Baruunbayan and Zuunbayan. Later, the Baruunbayan Svita was more thoroughly studied during a large geological mapping project carried out in the same area by a variety of studies. Due to insufficient representation (only partial sections are exposed at these localities), Badamgarav et al. in 1995 proposed that the Ulaanoosh Formation represents a complete section of red beds in the Baruunbayan area based on drill logs. The Ulaanoosh Formation is distributed in the areas of Ulaanoosh, Alguu Ulaan Tsav, Baruunbayan, and Zuunbayan. The age of the Ulaanoosh Formation ranges from late Early to early Late Cretaceous (Albian-Cenomanian) based on vertebrate and invertebrate fossils such as dinosaurs, dinosaur eggs, molluscs, ostracods, and turtles.

The Ulaanoosh Formation is composed of two members: a lower and an upper. The lower member (Aptian to Albian) comprises white-colored mudstones, fine-grained conglomerates, bright gray colored, carbonate-rich sandstones, yellowish fine-grained sandstones with carbonate concretions and gray colored conglomerates preserving invertebrate fossils. The upper member is largely composed of reddish colored, fine to medium grained mudstones, fine-medium grained conglomerates, and a breccia layer in the base. The upper member of the formation preserved fragmentary sauropods and dinosaur eggs Faveoloolithus.

Age


Ulaanoosh Formation

Age

Absolute ages and stratigraphic correlation among many Gobi Desert localities are difficult to investigate and hindered by a lack of detailed geological mapping and sediments suitable for radiometric dating. The rock matrix embedding Beg is similar to sediments of the lowest upper member of Ulaanoosh Formation in being composed of reddish-brown conglomerate-breccia and sandstones. This suggests the age of this specimen can be constrained between 113~94 Ma, most likely at the boundary between Early and Late Cretaceous (~100.5 Ma).

Fossil content

The following fossils have been reported from the formation:

Smoke damper

Smoke dampers are passive fire protection products used in air conditioning and ventilation ductwork or installed in physical smoke barriers (e.g., walls). This may be done to prevent the spread of smoke from the space of fire origin to other spaces in the same building. A combination of fans and dampers can exhaust smoke from an area while pressurizing the smoke-free areas around the affected area (inhibiting smoke infiltration into additional areas). It may also be used to maintain the required concentration of a fire suppression clean agent in a space, as installed in supply air ducts to restrict the introduction of air into the space, and as installed in return or exhaust air ducts to restrict the depletion of the clean agent from the space. Smoke dampers are usually installed by sheet metal contractors.

Smoke dampers can be activated by the fire alarm system, usually initiated by smoke detectors, or interlocked with a fire suppression system. Smoke dampers close by an electric or pneumatic actuator, or a spring actuator, and can be either manually reset or driven open on a reset signal to the electric or pneumatic actuator.

Combination fire/smoke dampers are also available if a smoke barrier is desired at the same location as a fire barrier.

According to Underwriter's Laboratory, "smoke dampers certified by UL carry a leakage class rating that indicates the level of air leakage measured through the damper under test conditions."

Fire dampers and smoke dampers are an integral and essential part of a building's passive fire protection system.

Inspection and maintenance

As with any other element of a building's passive fire protection system, smoke dampers need to be maintained, inspected and repaired to ensure they are in working order. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) requires the testing, maintenance and repair of smoke dampers as mandated in the Life Safety Code. NFPA 105 states [that] each damper shall be tested and inspected one year after installation. The test and inspection frequency shall then be every 4 years, except in hospitals, where the frequency shall be every 6 years. The code also states that the damper shall be actuated and cycled. The inspections must be document indicating the location of the damper, date of inspection, name of inspector, and deficiencies discovered.


Smoke damper

As with fire damper inspections, smoke damper inspections are required by Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJ's). The International Code Council, the Joint Commission, NFPA and State Fire Marshals require these inspections as part of a Building's Life Safety Plan.

Repair

NFPA 105 requires that "if a damper is not operable, repairs shall begin as soon as possible".fire dampers due to actuator replacement.

Scary Godmother

Scary Godmother is a series of children's books and comic books created by artist Jill Thompson and published by Sirius Entertainment beginning in 1997.

Characters

Main


Scary Godmother

* Hannah Marie - Hannah is scared of monsters, but then she realizes monsters don't eat kids. Hannah's very kind and friendly, and it's implied that she has a crush on Orson, a young male vampire. In the first TV-special, her older cousin, Jimmy, and his friends scare her, but the monsters on the Fright Side help her get back at them in the end. Dresses as a fairy princess. She is voiced by Britt McKillip.
  * Scary Godmother - a tall, skinny and pretty-looking fairy-witch with long curly red hair, pale green skin, small bat wings on her back, and purple and green leggings. She lives on the Fright Side (a world where scary Halloween monsters live). She befriends a little girl named Hannah Marie, who was scared by her older cousin Jimmy into holding the doorknob to the haunted house Scary Godmother and her "broommates" were in. She also rides a broom and has a pet ghost cat named Boozle. Thompson has acknowledged that the character bears a resemblance to its creator.Tabitha St. Germain in the TV adaptation.
  * Jimmy - Hannah's cousin who has little affection for her. Since he didn't want to take her trick or treating, he and his friends instead plan on scaring her. However, his plan backfires after Hannah befriends Scary Godmother and her broommates, all of whom give Jimmy and his friends a taste of their own medicine. A year later, he was so traumatized by that ordeal that he tried to stop Halloween from happening (by destroying all Halloween-related items, like pumpkins, costumes and candy), but is otherwise touched when he stumbles into a party that Scary Godmother, Hannah, and their friends were celebrating. Often dresses in a Devil sweatsuit on Halloween. He was the antagonist of the first and second books, but in the ending of second and the rest of the series he became good.
  * Jimmy's friends - Jimmy's three companions, whom he talked into scaring his cousin, Hannah, when she first went trick-or-treating. Unlike Jimmy, they aren't bad children, just easily influenced. They were content with Hannah's company, and even helped her save Halloween when Jimmy tried to ruin it once.


Scary Godmother

+ Bert - a boy and the most imaginative of the three. Dresses as a baseball player wearing a cardboard SUV around his body.
      + Daryl - sweet and naïve, dresses as a piece of candy and has a crush on Katie.
      + Katie - she's the most empathic of the three. Katie has a crush on Daryl, which is revealed when she tells him she'll trade him chocolate bar for a kiss, though also at times it seems she likes Jimmy. Katie dresses as a black cat. She is voiced by Britt Irvin.


Scary Godmother

Monsters


Scary Godmother

* Mr. Skully Pettibone - one of Scary Godmother's "broommates". He's the skeleton that hides in people's closets to keep their secrets safe, and, as he puts it, just rattle around. Come Halloween, there's nothing Skully likes more than to cut loose and roll the bones at a good party. His characterization in the books, and to a greater extent in the animated specials, is to a large extent that of a stereotypical "female lead's gay best friend", as suggested by his repeatedly coming out of closets. His voice was done by Scott McNeil.
  * Bug-A-Boo - a huge, round monster with multiple yellow eyes, fur, a pointy tail, horns and a huge mouth with sharp teeth. He is the type of monster that lurks in places like basements, under beds, in closets, and other deep, dark places (and knows what children are scared of, even Jimmy and his friends). Frightened of him at first, Hannah perceived him as the "monster in the basement" that Jimmy told her would eat children lest she feeds him candy. While she does that, Bug-A-Boo tells her that his job is to scare children, not eat them! ("If I went around eatin' all the clients, I'd be out of work!"). They have since become great friends. His voice was done by Garry Chalk.
  * Harry - a talkative werewolf who wears a blue, lamb-patterned shirt. He hails from Ackerman Forest (a pun on horror honcho Forrest J Ackerman) which is somewhere in the Fright Side. With a hammy, self-absorbed and pitying personality and an insatiable appetite for food (especially candy and snacks), he is a huge nuisance to Scary Godmother and her broommates. Harry is a big fan of the TV "skelevision" show The Spectral Six. It is notable however that while annoying, Harry is still a full-grown male werewolf possessing razor-sharp claws and fangs, incredible strength, and highly acute lupine senses. It would be unwise to get between Harry and something he wants, especially if it's anything food-related. His voice was done by Garry Chalk.


Scary Godmother

* Count Max - a tall, thin and bald vampire dressed in black. The most famous vampire on the Fright Side, he is the "King of the Night". Usually very old-fashioned, Max feels awkward for being so out of touch with the times. His visual design is suggestive of that of Count Orlok in Murnau's Nosferatu as played by Max Schreck, his vocal characterization of Béla Lugosi impersonators. His voice was done by Scott McNeil.
  * Ruby - Max's beautiful wife who is also a vampire and the "Queen of the Night". She is more "modern" than her husband, which drives him batty. She has long, black hair and is clad in a satin dress. Her appearance recalls that of 1950s horror show hostess Vampira. Her voice was also done by Tabitha St. Germain in a Russian accent.
  * Orson - Max & Ruby's preteen son who is a vampire like his parents. He is the "Prince of the Night". Orson wears modern goth clothing, thin round glasses and has blue dyed hair. In the TV-specials, it's implied but never confirmed that he has a crush on Hannah (and that she may reciprocate his feelings). In the book versions, it's confirmed that Orson does in fact have a crush on Hannah. His voice is done by Richie Warke.


Scary Godmother

Development

Thompson described the work and the character this way: "Scary Godmother is like your fairy godmother, but for Halloween. There's really nothing scary about the Scary Godmother. She's fun and macabre; reminiscent of childhood with a little bit of social commentary mixed in".Scary Godmother, and she said that planning ahead and meeting deadlines can be a challenge.

Film adaptations

Two films have been produced based on the series. The first, Scary Godmother: Halloween Spooktakular, premiered on television in Europe, Latin America, Australia, and Canada in 2003. Later, it premiered in the United States on Cartoon Network in 2004. The film was the first one Mainframe Entertainment used its new software/animation pipeline for. Jill Thompson co-wrote the script, and had some creative control over the project. When she was shown early character designs for the film which resembled the watercolor illustrations in her books, she requested that the characters instead be fully computer-generated.Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas rather than that of computer-animated films such as Finding Nemo.School Library Journal, however, described the film as "Toy Story meets Tim Burton", and thought that the animation closely resembles Thompson's watercolor illustrations.

The second, Scary Godmother: The Revenge of Jimmy (based on the second book), premiered in 2005.

In a pre-premiere interview, the composer addressed the work's ambiguous title, remarking, "The title refers to this thought of falling into a black hole, going beyond to this other side and arriving somewhere that you did not know and had no control over."

The work is scored for a large orchestra consisting of two flutes, piccolo, alto flute, two oboes, cor anglais, three clarinets, bass clarinet, four bassoons, contrabassoon, four horns, two trumpets, two trombones, two tubas, three percussionists, and strings.

Reception

Reviewing the world premiere, Anthony Tommasini of The New York Times wrote, "The title Metacosmos is meant to evoke a 'place beyond,' Ms. Thorvaldsdottir said from the stage. The music takes us on a journey to this realm, where we are drawn by a force beyond our control, amid a power struggle 'between chaos and beauty.' That description suggested amorphous music. But I was captivated by the intricacy of the sounds and colors. Ms. Thorvaldsdottir did indeed take us on a dark journey, episodic yet clear."New York Classical Review also praised the piece, observing, "Metacosmos made a powerful impression in its debut performance, evoking an enormous vista of space and time in a 12-minute span with broad, artfully blended strokes of orchestral color."


Private Stock Records

Private Stock Records was a record label that operated from 1974 to 1978.

The label was founded by Larry Uttal after he was ousted from Bell Records.pop music and had numerous hit records, many of them one-hit wonders, including singles by David Soul of Starsky and Hutch fame ("Don't Give Up on Us"), Starbuck ("Moonlight Feels Right"), Austin Roberts ("Rocky"), Samantha Sang ("Emotion"), Walter Murphy and the Big Apple Band ("A Fifth of Beethoven"), Cyndi Grecco ("Making Our Dreams Come True", a.k.a. the theme song to Laverne & Shirley) and Frankie Valli ("My Eyes Adored You", "Swearin' to God", "Our Day Will Come"). The label also released Brownsville Station's album with the same name, and the singles "The Martian Boogie" and "(Lady) Put the Light on Me" in 1977. Even during 1976 and 1977 Jose Feliciano released two albums on the label, "Sweet Soul Music" (produced by Jerry Wexler) and "Angela" (soundtrack of the movie Aaron Loves Angela). More indicative of the label's nature, Private Stock issued for the US in 1976 a compilation of Rod Stewart's work with Steampacket and the Hoochie Koochie Men culled from mid-1960s live shows in the UK while the singer was transitioning from Mercury Records to Warner Brothers. In the early 1980s a Stray Cats compilation appeared in stores, ostensibly a licensee of Capitol Records but debatable as to whether it was even the same company.


Private Stock Records

Blondie's eponymous debut album—which was not a commercial success at the time—was also originally issued on Private Stock in 1976,Junior Campbell. Following the demise of Woody Woodmansey's U-Boat, singer/songwriter Phil Murray signed to the label in 1978, and released one single, End Of My Time, before moving on to Mickie Most's label RAK. Singer-songwriter Tom Paxton's 1975 album, Something in My Life and Rupert Holmes' fourth album, Pursuit of Happiness were also released by the label. Peter Lemongello released one album and a few singles for Private Stock after his debut Love '76. However, the Love '76 album was never released by Private Stock, and none of his recordings for the label charted. Gospel/soul singer Cissy Houston (mother of singer Whitney Houston) released two albums on the label- 1977's Cissy Houston and 1978's Think It Over.

The label closed down when Uttal moved to London; he later returned to New York, where he died in 1993.Jai Uttal owned the rights to the catalogue after his father's death, however according to him:

The fate of the private stock masters has really been a mystery for me since my dad died. Theoretically I control the catalogue but I have no master tapes or vinyl and have no idea where they might be. Strange, isn't it? Warm wishes.

The wingspan is about 18 mm. The forewings are dull brownish with an inwardly oblique thick blackish fuscous mark in the disc at about one-fourth. There is also a small round blackish fuscous discal dot at two-thirds. The hindwings are fuscous grey.

The larvae feed on Coprosma species. They mine the leaves of their host plant, but also bore into the growing shoot tips, causing these shoots to wilt.
