Aapravasi Ghat

The Immigration Depot ( , Aapravasi Ghat ) is a building complex located in Port Louis on the Indian Ocean island of Mauritius , the first British colony to receive indentured , or contracted , labour workforce from India .

From 1849 to 1923 , half a million Indian indentured labourers passed through the Immigration Depot , to be transported to plantations throughout the British Empire .

The large - scale migration of the laborers left an indelible mark on the societies of many former British colonies , with Indians constituting a substantial proportion of their national populations .

In Mauritius alone , 68 percent of the current total population is of Indian ancestry .

The Immigration Depot has thus become an important reference point in the history and cultural identity of Mauritius .

Unchecked infrastructural development in the mid-20th century means that only the partial remains of three stone buildings from the entire complex have survived .

These are now protected as a national monument , under the Mauritian national heritage legislation .

The Immigration Depot 's role in social history was recognized by UNESCO when it was declared a World Heritage Site in 2006 .

Paskačić noble family

The Paskačić ( Serbian Cyrillic : Паскачић , Paskačići / Паскачићи ) was a Serbian noble house that served the Serbian Empire , of Dušan the Mighty ( r. 1331 - 1355 ) and Uroš the Weak ( r. 1355 - 1371 ) , then the Mrnjavčević ' Lordship of Prilep ( 1371 – 1395 ) during the Fall of the Serbian Empire .

The eponymous founder was kefalija Paskač , and the family base was in Slavište ( modern Macedonia ) and they held the modern border region between Serbia and the latter .

Paskač had a son , Vlatko Paskačić , ( hence , the family is also known as Vlatković ( Serbian Cyrillic : Влатковић , Vlatkovići / Влатковићи ) ) who received the title of sevastokrator in 1365 , when Vukašin Mrnjavčević was declared co - ruler as King of Serbs and Greeks .


Saint Louis (El Greco)

Saint Louis is a 1592 - 1595 painting by El Greco , painted during his time in Toledo .

It shows Louis IX of France wearing 16th century armour and a crown and holding his family symbol of a fleur de lys and the traditional sceptre of the kings of France .

Gregorio Marañon and Manuel Bartolomé Cossío argue the model was a patient at the Hospital del Nuncio or an old print .

Louis was the grandson of Alfonso VIII of Castile , meaning that in the late 16th century he was revered in both France and Spain , particularly since no Spanish king was canonised until Ferdinand III of Castile received the honour in 1671 .

The work was commissioned by Luis de Castilla , the painter 's friend and future executor - the saint was also Luis ' name saint .

For a period the work was in the collection of the château de Chenonceau , before being acquired by its present owner in 1903 .

A recent restoration has revealed a cityscape in the background , showing Toledo .

The song is sung mostly by Freddie Mercury , with vocal contributions from Taylor .

Originally released on the album The Miracle , it was released as a single in 1989 .

Taylor claims that he got the inspiration to create the song while reading a book ( possibly the book of the same name ) , and the bassline instantly came to his imagination .

This song marks the only time in any of Queen 's songs that all four band members names are mentioned in the lyrics .

The first being Freddie Mercury , followed by John Deacon .

Brian May 's name is then said twice ( just before his guitar solo starts ) , and while saying " Roger Taylor " , the first " r " is rolled to emulate the drums at the end of the verse .

Freddie Mercury 's name is said by drummer Roger Taylor , and the other ones by the lead singer Freddie Mercury .


Famatinian orogeny

The Famatinian orogeny ( ) is an orogeny that predates the rise of the Andes and that took place in what is now western South America during the Paleozoic , leading to the formation of the Famatinian orogen also known as the Famatinian belt .

The Famatinian orogeny lasted from the Late Cambrian to at least the Late Devonian and possibly the Early Carboniferous , with orogenic activity peaking about 490 to 460 million years ago .

The orogeny involved metamorphism and deformation in the crust and the eruption and intrusion of magma along a Famatinian magmatic arc that formed a chain of volcanos .

The igneous rocks of the Famatinian magmatic arc are of calc - alkaline character and include gabbros , tonalites and granodiorites .

The youngest igneous rocks of the arc are granites .

The relationship of the orogeny with the Achala and Cerro Aspero batholiths of central Argentina is not fully understood .

These Devonian batholiths are possibly of post - orogenic character .

This was followed by A Concise Dictionary of the Bible ( 1865 ) , intended for the general reader and students , and A Smaller Dictionary of the Bible ( 1866 ) , for use in schools .

A Comprehensive Dictionary of the Bible ( 1868 ) , was published simultaneously in London and New York , and a four - volume Dictionary of the Bible ( 1871 ) , was published in Boston , amongst other things incorporating the appendices of the first edition into the main body of the text .

Pale-breasted thrush

The pale - breasted thrush ( Turdus leucomelas ) is a species of bird in the family Turdidae .

It is found in a wide range of wooded habitats in eastern and northern South America , from Colombia to Uruguay , with localized population in the west .

This bird seems to have adapted to humans and is very common in human inhabited parts of its range , often nesting in garden shrubs and small trees .

In Suriname it is locally known as " Boontjedief , " which means " bean thief " in Suriname Dutch , presumably based on its habit of picking off legumes left out to dry in the sun .

In proper Dutch it is called " Vaalborstlijster . "

It is also known as " Bonka " in Sranan tongo .

In appearance it is similar to the American robin in size and shape , but it lacks the red chest and is more uniformly brown .

Its song and feeding habits are also very similar to its distant cousin .

In most of its range , it is more likely to be confused with the creamy - bellied thrush .

Unlike the creamy - bellied thrush , the pale - breasted thrush has a clear contrast between the head and mantle , and it lacks blackish lores .

It eats mostly fruits , but also worms , insects and lizards .


The Emergency (Ireland)

The Emergency ( ) was the state of emergency which existed in the state of Ireland during the Second World War .

The state of Ireland remained neutral throughout the war .

" The Emergency " has been used metonymically in historical and cultural commentary to refer to the state during the war .

The state of emergency was proclaimed by Dáil Éireann on 2 September 1939 , allowing the passage of the Emergency Powers Act 1939 by the Oireachtas the following day .

This gave sweeping new powers to the government for the duration of the Emergency , including internment , censorship of the press and correspondence , and government control of the economy .

The Emergency Powers Act lapsed on 2 September 1946 .

Although the state of emergency itself was not rescinded until 1 September 1976 , no emergency legislation was ever in force after 1946 to exploit this anomaly .


List of counties in Washington

There are 39 counties in the U.S. state of Washington .

Washington came from what was the western part of Washington Territory and was admitted to the Union as the 42nd state in 1889 .

The first counties were created from unorganized territory in 1845 .

Eight of the counties were created by Oregon governments prior to the organization of Washington Territory , 26 were created during Washington 's territorial period , and five more were created after Washington became a state ( Benton , Chelan , Grant , Ferry , and Pend Oreille ) .

Article XI of the Washington State Constitution addresses the organization of counties .

New counties must have a population of at least 2,000 and no county can be reduced to a population below 4,000 due to partitioning to create a new county .

At least one early county , named Quillehuyte , was disestablished by the territorial government due to low population .

To alter the area of a county , the state constitution requires a petition of the " majority of the voters " in that area .

A number of county partition proposals in the 1990s interpreted this as a majority of people who voted , until a 1998 ruling by the Washington Supreme Court clarified that they would need a majority of registered voters .

The Federal Information Processing Standard ( FIPS ) code , used by the United States government to uniquely identify counties , is provided with each entry .

The FIPS code links in the table point to U. S. Census " quick facts " pages for each county .

Washington 's postal abbreviation is WA and its FIPS state code is 53 .


Palace Rebellion

The Palace Rebellion was a 1949 coup attempt in Thailand .

Its plotters aimed to overthrow the government of Field Marshal Plaek Phibunsongkhram and to restore his main civilian rival , Pridi Phanomyong , to the Thai political scene .

Pridi had disavowed the use of violence during the immediate aftermath of the 1947 coup , but the frustrations of exile eventually overcame him .

Although in the People 's Republic of China , he still maintained contacts with his supporters in Thailand and , with their help , he laid plans for a countercoup .

In the first week of February 1949 , he secretly returned to Thailand .

Phibun , however , soon learned of Pridi 's intentions and quickly , a radio announcement was made in which he called Pridi his " friend . "

He went on to offer Pridi a position in the government , but Pridi decided to go ahead with his plans , and the field marshal 's overtures were rebuffed .

A state of emergency was declared by the government in anticipation of the countercoup .

It began on February 26 , when a Royal Thai Army officer loyal to Pridi and a group of supporters seized a radio station , and Free Thai elements and Thammasat University teachers and students occupied the Grand Palace .

The group at the radio station announced on the air the formation of a new government headed by Pridi 's friend , Direk Chaiyanam .

Major - General Sarit Thanarat then moved troops in and easily mandged to oust Pridi from the palace grounds .

In the meanwhile , the Royal Thai Navy and the Royal Thai Marine Corps took up defensive positions around Bangkok , to protect their allies .

The rebels managed to escape in naval vessels across the Chao Phraya River , and navy units engaged the army in fierce street fighting .

A ceasefire was declared that afternoon , but it would take the navy and the army a full week to negotiate a resolution to the crisis .

Mary Crawford

Mary Catherine Crawford ( born 12 April 1947 ) was an Australian politician .

Born in Toowoomba , Queensland , she was educated at the University of Queensland before becoming a teacher .

In 1987 , she was elected to the Australian House of Representatives as the Labor member for Forde .

On 25 March 1994 she was appointed Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Housing and Regional Development , a position she held until the defeat of the Keating Government in the 1996 election , in which Crawford lost her seat .

Crawford had previously held her seat with a fairly safe majority of 8.6 percent .

However , a redistribution ahead of the election pushed Forde into some rural , conservative - leaning territory in the Scenic Rim .

This wiped out Crawford 's majority , reducing it to an extremely marginal 0.1 percent .

Believing that this made Forde difficult — if not impossible — to hold , Crawford tried to transfer to the friendlier seat of Rankin , but was rebuffed by the party 's organisational wing .

She was defeated by Liberal Kay Elson on a nine - percent swing .


Assumption of the Virgin (Botticini)

In Heaven above , surrounded by the nine choirs of angels , Jesus raises his hand in blessing to his kneeling mother .

Sebestyanos

Sebestyanos ( reigned c. 1703 - c. 1718 ) was a ruler of Shewa , an important Amhara noble of Ethiopia .

He was one of the sons of Negasi Krestos .

Abir states that he ruled for 15 years , although noting that Harris claims he ruled for 25 years , and d'Hericourt 33 .

According to Donald Levine , Sebestyanos ' father , Negasi Krestos , proclaimed in his will that his oldest son Akawa would inherit his " throne " .

Sebestyanos would receive his spear , silver cutlass , and gilded shield .

Land and money would go to his other five sons .

However , drought and famine afflicted Shewa : the nobility deposed Akawa in favor of his younger son Daña .

Dreading the fighting that he knew would follow , Sebestyanos fled Menz to the safety of Merhabete , where he served the governor .

Meanwhile , his relatives grew dissatisfied with his brother Daña , and successfully lured Sebestyanos back to Menz , where his victories over the neighboring Oromo inevitably led him to fight his brother .

He defeated Daña and proclaimed himself ruler of Menz .

Pankhurst states that during his reign Shewa clearly expanded its boundaries at the expense of their Oromo rivals .

As a result , he founded a number of towns , including Doqaqit , ' Ayne , and Eyabar .

Although his father Negasi Krestos failed to gain the grant of the title of Meridazmach from Emperor Iyasus I , Sebestyanos assumed the title .

He continued the conquests of his father in upper Yifat .

According to Levine , Sebestyanos died " by a curious accident " .

His son Qedami Qal had been rebuilding some of the churches that had been destroyed by Ahmad Gragn , one of which was in Doqaqit dedicated to St. Michael .

Part of the ceremony required the tabot in the church in ' Ayne , where his father was living , and it was secretly removed to Doqaqit .

Sebestyanos understood this as an act of rebellion , and set forth to capture and discipline his son ; however , in the ensuing battle one of Qedami Qal 's servants accidentally killed the Meridazmach .

Maximato

The Maximato was a period in the historical and political development of Mexico from 1928 to 1934 .

Named after former president Plutarco Elías Calles 's sobriquet el Jefe Máximo ( the maximum leader ) , the Maximato was the period when Calles continued to exercise power , but did not hold the presidential office .

The six - year period was the term that president - elect Alvaro Obregón would have served had he not been assassinated directly after the July 1928 elections .

There needed to be some kind of political solution to the presidential succession crisis .

Calles could not hold the presidency again , due to restrictions on re - election without an interval out of power , but he remained the dominant figure in Mexico .

There were two solutions to the crisis .

Firstly , an interim president was to be appointed followed by new elections .

Secondly , Calles created an enduring political institution , the Partido Nacional Revolucionario ( PNR ) , that held presidential power from 1929 until 2000 .

The interim presidency of Emilio Portes Gil lasted from 1 December 1928 to 4 February 1930 .

He was passed over as candidate for the newly formed PNR in favor of a political unknown , Pascual Ortiz Rubio .

Ortiz Rubio resigned in September 1932 , in protest at Calles 's continued wielding of power .

He was succeeded by Abelardo L. Rodríguez , who served out the rest of the term that ended in 1934 .

The election of that year was won by former revolutionary general Lázaro Cárdenas , Calles 's chosen candidate for the PNR .

Following the election , Calles attempted to control Cárdenas in the same way he had the three " puppet presidents " , but Cárdenas outmaneuvered him politically , and expelled him from the country in 1936 .

The Maximato was a transitional period of personal power for Calles , but the institutionalization of political power in the party structure was a major achievement in Mexican history .
