Rajendra Mahato (; born 19 November 1958) is a Nepalese politician, who was serving as the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Urban Development since 4 June 2021 but was removed from the post by Supreme Court on 22 June 2021 making the tenure of just 18 days and shortest till date. He was the parliamentary party leader of the People's Socialist Party, Nepal, although the status matter of conflict within the party. Though weak today due to continuous party change, he once was a well known leader of Terai-Madhesh based political alliance. Now, he is thought to move to Sarlahi 4. He has previously contested the election from Sarlahi and Dhanusha where his party could win no local level head position and got clean swept in recent election.

Political career
He started his political career from 1990. In the 1994 parliamentary election, he stood as the Nepal Sadbhavana Party candidate in the constituency Sarlahi-2. He came second with 10173 votes. In the 1999 parliamentary election he won the seat with 14750 votes, defeating former Prime Minister Surya Bahadur Thapa of the Rastriya Prajatantra Party.  Mahato resigned from the interim parliament on January 19, 2008.

In 2007, Mahato broke away from Nepal Sadbhavana Party (Anandidevi) and formed his own party, which later acquired the name Sadbhavana Party. Mahato has never had a stable political party. He joined Rastriya Janata Party. Later he joined Janata Samajbadi Party. In few months, he broke the party to join Loktantrik Samajbadi Party.

In April 2008, he won the Sarlahi-4 seat in the Constituent Assembly election.

Mahato lost his seat in the 2013 constituent assembly elections to Mahendra Rai Yadav of the Terai Madesh Sadhbhawana Party Nepal.  The party nominated his wife Sahil Devi Mahato to the Constituent Assembly from the two seats assigned to the party under proportional representation.

Mahato had also become a leader for the Madhesi people, and stated concerns about Nepal's proposed constitution, calling it a ploy to subjugate the Madhesi. On 4 June 2021, he surprisingly joined Second Oli cabinet led by KP Oli whom he criticized the most.

Personal life
Mahato was born in Sarlahi district of eastern Nepal, on 19 November 1958, as the first child of Khobhari Mahato but it remains disputed and a large mass of people believe him to have born in Bihar, India. This claimed by CPN-UML youth wing's present vice-president, Sanjeev Jha.

Controversies
Burning a copy of newly promulgated constitution of Nepal

After the promulgation of Constitution of Nepal, a long strike was brought in light by the then Madheshi morcha mainly in terai of Nepal. Mahato burned a copy of Constitution of Nepal at the premises of Narayani Sub-regional hospital, Birgunj stating that he cannot accept the constitution which failed to integrate and maintain the Madhesi's rights at any cost. Mahato in one of this statement said;“The constitution, in favour of Koirala, Oli and Dahal, promulgated amid violence initiated by the government itself, will never be acceptable to us.”  He pictured Prime-minister Oli of being the biggest enemy of Madhesh and Madheshi people many times in past. He had once said;"Oli’s patriotism, protest against India won’t benefit country." On 4 June 2021, he surprisingly joined Oli cabinet, 2018.

Birth and Citizenship

Mahato was rumoured to be one of eight politicians whose citizenship were annulled in August 2019 when the cabinet decided to cancel the citizenship of individuals who acquired Nepali citizenship through forged documents. Although the government has published the name of the individuals, their full details are yet undisclosed. This came into light after few youth of UML's youth organization pleaded for cancelling the citizenship of Mahato and re-verify it. For the same purpose a group of youth including Sanjeev Jha submitted an application to the then incumbent Home minister shakti Bahadur Basnet during First oli premiership. On 21 June 2021, a note was pasted on main gate of Singhadurbar by Naya Party to restrict the entry of Mahato in the premises. On 22 June 2021, a complain numbered C035596 was lodged at CIAA, the concerned authority again to investigate his citizenship by advocate Birbhadra Joshi, Tulsi Ram Parajuli and Anil Bajgain.

Demand for multi nation state

On 4 June 2021, a group of PSP-N lead by Mahantha Thakur accepted the proposal of PM KP Sharma Oli of joining the government. Rajendra Mahato led a group of 8 ministers and 2 state ministers to government. However, a statement of him was highly criticized. Mahato included a line; “We remain committed to building an alternative power and will safeguard identity and rights of our people. As long as we are in power, we will pursue good governance. We will prepare for a nationwide movement to set up multi-nation state in Nepal.”  The comment drew quick criticism on social media twitter, Facebook and tik-tok which accused Mr. Mahato of playing divisive politics. It was disliked by many high-ranked political leader of CPN-UML , leading the government. Yogesh Bhattarai, a UML leader famous among youth urged Prime Minister Oli to advise his ministerial colleagues to be restrained in public comments. On the other hand, protest was organised on Saturday by the All Nepal National Free Students Union (ANNFSU) that demanded prime-minister Oli to step down over the comments. This statement was also criticized by 12 different wings of CPN-UML. Due to high pressure and criticism, Mahato had no other alternative than taking his statement back. Due to this, took his statement back on mid-night of 5 May 2021.

Electoral history
As of 2013, Mr. Mahato has given candidacy in 5 election from 1991 to 2013 where he lost in 3 while won in only one from Sarlahi-2 and Sarlahi-4 each of 3 elections and 2 respectively. In 2017, he filled his candidacy from Dhanusha-3 due to dispute between him and Mahendra Raya Yadav for Sarlahi 2  as both were in same party while Yadav remained much powerful in the constituency of Mahato. Hence, he came to Dhanusha-3, a prominent constituency of Nidhi where majority voters are Yadav-Sudi. Due to this factor and alliance between RJP-FSF where UML supported externally as none among RJP-FSF alliance and UML led Left-Alliance could win single-handedly, as a result he won here with joint votes of duo alliance.

Ibn Bassām or Ibn Bassām al-Shantarīnī (; 1058-1147) was an Arab-Andalusian poet and historian from al-Andalus. He was born in Santarém (sometimes spelled Shantarin or Xantarin) and hailed from the Banu Taghlib tribe. He died in 1147.

Ibn Bassam describes how the incessant invasions of the Christians forced him to run away from Santarém in Portugal, "the last of the cities of the west," after seeing his lands ravaged and his wealth destroyed, a ruined man with no possessions save his battered sword.

Especially well known is his anthology  (The Treasury concerning the Merits of the People of Iberia) one of the most important sources of information in the field of history, literature and culture of the Almoravid dynasty. It was edited in eight volumes by Ihsan ‘Abbas, written in rhymed prose, many of its biographies are contemporary and filled out with details taken from the Kitab al-Matin of Ibn Hayyan. The parts taken from that book are easily distinguishable, because Ibn Bassam prefixes the words qala Ibn Hayyan ("Ibn Hayyan says") and concludes the extract with intaha kalam Ibn Hayyan ("here ends Ibn Hayyan's words").

Letlhakeng or Lethakeng is an urban village in Kweneng District of Botswana. The village is located 75 km north-west of Molepolole. The population of Letlhakeng was 7,229 in the 2011 census.

The majority of the people of Letlhakeng are considered part of the Bakwena tribe, which is administered from the kgotla in Molepolole. However, aside from the Bakwena version of standard Setswana (known as Se-kwena), many people speak a version of Se-Kgalagadi - a language distinct from but related to Setswana.

Letlhakeng houses a secondary school (Mphuthe Community Secondary) which moved into new buildings in 2008 following relocation from a previous site prone to subsidence. A clinic serves the community as well as three primary schools and a number of local government offices. Until 2005, the tarred roads ended at the village centre and onward journeys were seasonally interrupted due to the gravel or sand roads. However, it is now possible to travel to most neighbouring villages without difficulty following a major road building programme.

There are three schools in Letlhakeng being;
Letlhakeng Primary School
Gothibamang Primary School
Mphuthe Junior Secondary School

One of the major roads in the village is named after Bishop Frank Keikanetswe, the founder of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in the area.

U.S. Highway 30 (US 30) is part of the United States Numbered Highway System that runs for  from Astoria, Oregon to Atlantic City, New Jersey. Within the state of Nebraska it is a state highway that travels  west to east across the state from the Wyoming state line west of Bushnell to the Missouri River in Blair on the Iowa state line. Despite not intersecting I-80 even once, much of its length until Grand Island is closely parallel with the interstate, not being more than a mile or two away. For most of its route, US 30 travels within the Platte River valley, adjacent to or near the river between Brule and Fremont, a distance of just over . This corridor was also highly traveled during Westward Expansion along the California and Oregon Trails, it was also used by the Pony Express and the Transcontinental Railroad. The landscape is dominated by vast agricultural fields within the fertile Platte River valley across the center of the state, while the western portion passes through higher plains and the eastern portion through the rolling hills adjacent to the Missouri River valley.

While US 30 has been mostly superseded by I-80 for long-haul travel across the state, it has been a major thoroughfare across Nebraska since the early twentieth century, most notably as a central portion of the historic Lincoln Highway, an early transcontinental route from New York, New York to San Francisco, California that passed through Nebraska along the corridor that became US 30 once the route designations of the federal highway system were assigned in 1926. To showcase the historic importance of this early route across the state, the entire length of US 30 across Nebraska has been designated as the Lincoln Highway Scenic and Historic Byway, one of nine scenic byways designated by the Nebraska Department of Roads throughout the state.

Route description
U.S. Highway 30 enters Nebraska just east of Pine Bluffs, Wyoming.  It shares the first mile in Nebraska with Business Loop 80.  After passing through Bushnell, it enters Kimball, where it meets Old Highway 71 near the center of town. On the east side of Kimball, US 30 passes beneath the new Nebraska Highway 71 bypass with access provided via Link 53E.  It then continues east through Dix and Potter before meeting Nebraska Highway 19 west of Sidney.  It then passes through Sidney concurrent with Business Loop 80.  At the eastern end of Sidney, it meets U.S. Highway 385, and it remains concurrent with that highway through Lodgepole to Chappell.  U.S. 30 then runs straight east towards Ogallala, briefly running concurrently with Nebraska Highway 27, intersecting U.S. Highway 138 north of Big Springs, and passing through Brule.  After Brule, the highway is closely paralleled by the South Platte River to the south.  East of Ogallala, U.S. 30 passes through Paxton before meeting Nebraska Highway 25 in Sutherland.  After going through Hershey, it enters North Platte, where it meets U.S. Highway 83.  It then crosses over the North Platte River above where the North and South Platte Rivers meet to form the Platte River.

After leaving North Platte, U.S. 30 turns in a southeasterly direction on an alignment north of the Platte River.  It passes through Maxwell and Brady before entering Gothenburg, where it meets Nebraska Highway 47.  It continues southeast into Cozad, where it meets Nebraska Highway 21.  U.S. 30 and Highway 21 run concurrent into Lexington, where Highway 21 separates and U.S. 30 meets the northern end of U.S. Highway 283.  U.S. 30 continues southeast through Overton and meets U.S. Highway 183 at Elm Creek.  The highway turns east there and passes through Odessa before entering Kearney.  In Kearney, U.S. 30 meets Nebraska Highway 44, and east of the city passes under the new East Kearney Bypass which is the new alignment of Nebraska Highway 10. From there it continues on to Gibbon.  U.S. 30 passes through Gibbon, Shelton, Wood River (where it meets Nebraska Highway 11) and Alda before entering Grand Island, all of these on an alignment which generally goes northeasterly.

In Grand Island, U.S. Highway 30 intersects U.S. Highway 281 and Nebraska Highway 2 on the west side of Grand Island.  It goes through downtown Grand Island on a pair of one-way streets, then goes northeast towards Columbus through Chapman before entering Central City.  In Central City, U.S. 30 intersects Nebraska Highway 14.  The highway continues northeast towards Clarks, but meets Nebraska Highway 92 southwest of Clarks.  After Clarks, U.S. 30 meets Nebraska Highway 39 in Silver Creek.  After going through Duncan, U.S. 30 turns east and intersects U.S. Highway 81 south of Columbus.  The highway turns north with U.S. 81 to go into Columbus on a divided highway.  They separate in Columbus and U.S. 30 turns east.

U.S. 30 east of Columbus is a divided highway.  It goes east through Richland before changing into a freeway in the Schuyler area.  North of Schuyler, U.S. 30 has an interchange with Nebraska Highway 15.  U.S. 30 then becomes a two-lane highway east of Schuyler through Rogers and meets Nebraska Highway 79 in North Bend.  It continues east and becomes a divided highway in the Fremont area, serving as the Fremont bypass.  North of Fremont, U.S. 30 intersects U.S. Highway 77 and U.S. Highway 275, with U.S. 275 running concurrently around Fremont with U.S. 30.  East of Fremont, U.S. 30 continues east again, passing through Arlington before meeting Nebraska Highway 31.  U.S. 30 turns northeast, meeting Nebraska Highway 133 in a roundabout southwest of Blair.  In Blair, U.S. 30 then meets Nebraska Highway 91 and U.S. Highway 75, which runs concurrently with U.S. 30 in Blair.  U.S. 30 then leaves Blair, and then leaves Nebraska to enter Iowa via the Abraham Lincoln Memorial Bridge.

History
There were two previous alternate routes of US 30 in Nebraska.  U.S. Route 30S was the original route of US 30 in Nebraska.  When US 30 was realigned to go between Fremont and Missouri Valley, Iowa, US 30S was created to replace the old US 30 between Fremont and Omaha.  That route was decommissioned when US 275 was extended northwest from Council Bluffs, Iowa.  Part of that route is today's Nebraska Highway 64.  Later, U.S. Route 30A was created, which followed today's Nebraska Highway 92 east from Clarks to Omaha.  Both of these alternate routes went into Iowa at Omaha.

History
In the seventh century, the village was named Quarreia, then was called Quarée until the eighteenth century. The current name of town comes from the large number of empty stone coffins ("tombes") in the graveyard surrounding the church.

Quarré, formerly Careacum, belonged to Corbon, Lord of Corbigny, who bequeathed it to his son in 706 at the Abbey of Flavigny.

In the eleventh century, the village was owned by the Sires de Chastellux, Counts of Quarré. The castle was built in 1863.

The church has undergone several reconstructions including one in the fifteenth century.  The chair and bench are carved in the style of Louis XIII.

Sightseeing

Le petit train de Champignelles
Built on a land of  near the Agréau stream, the Little Train of Champignelles is a ridable miniature railway network reproduced on a 1/3 scale. The APTC (Association du Petit Train de Champignelles) was created in 1990 by a group of devoted modellers that worked on a project to rehabilitate an abandoned field in Champignelles, near a place known as Prés de l'Abîme.

Some sixty volunteers participated in the construction, who built the rail network with railway stations, an automated signaling control, turntable, and planted trees to create a nice undergrowth for the train and its association. The track has a 40 cm gauge and has a 1 km network. The BB-001 locomotive runs on a Chrysler thermal engine and can reach 12 km/h. Many events are held on the premises.

Saint-Roch church in Louesme
The church is devoted to Saint Roch and is in the part of the commune that used to be the Louesme commune, before the municipal merger with Champignelles. It was inscribed as a national monument in 1992. The church was built during the Gothic period, between the 12th and 13th centuries near the creek dedicated to the goddess Loïma from where the name of the village came.

The church was first dedicated to the Virgin Mary, but was later devoted to Saint Roch after the plague of 1710. Many modification were done on the church in the 16th century, with the addition of large windows and a spire, but the building kept is unique nave, which is unaligned with the narthex. The bell tower is from 1600, and the bell, surnamed "Marguerite" and weighing 180 kg, was blessed in 1722. Many ancient mural paintings from the 16th century were discovered and restored at the end of the 20th century.

Rogny-les-Sept-Écluses () is a commune in the Yonne department in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté in north-central France. The name of the commune comes from its impressive seven locks on Briare Canal.

Geography
The commune is located some  west of Auxerre and is crossed by the Loing and the Briare Canal. It is situated at 20 km north of Gien and 140 km south of Paris. The commune is in the natural area of Puisaye,

History
Rogny-les-sept-écluses was simply known as Rogny before 1978, when the name was changed to mirror its famous monument.

Human settlement in the area dates back to Roman times. Medals and coins bearing the image of the Emperor Constantine (306-337) and the Gaulish tyran Tetricus (268) were found along an ancient Roman road.

In the Middle Ages, the lower part of the village was on wetlands, so most of the villagers lived around the church on the higher part of the village. Written traces from the 11th century indicate that the village now known as Rogny belonged to the Roignacum parish, from where the name could come.

Saint-Loup Church
The church is still on the hill where the historical commune stood and now dominate the village. It was dated 12th century, but the structure was modified many times. The church has kept his Romanesque porch. It is a listed monument. The most remarkable possession of the church is a painting called Les Pèlerins d'Emmaüs from 1757 and designated as historical monument in 1908. It was painted by Adrien Le Beau after Pilgrims at Emmaus by Titian. The bell has a diameter of 1.20 m and is from 1699. It has been dubbed Isabelle.

The seven locks and Briare Canal
The Briare Canal and its main work, the seven locks (or sept écluses in French), were part of the enormous work of Henry IV and Sully to join the Mediterranean Sea to the English Channel by a network of canals and rivers. The locks were built to join the Loire to the Seine water system.

It was Hugues Cosnier's idea to build six locks (a seventh one was built later) to cross the Vallée du Loing (côte Rogny, hence the name Rogny-les-sept-écluses).

Cosny had chosen Rogny for its work because of the presence of many ponds, and the water was to be used to operate the locks.

Construction for both the locks and the Briare Canal started in 1604, and required next to 12,000 workers, that needed to be house in the town. To these workers, some 6000 soldiers came to monitor the construction site when the construction was halted during the  Thirty Years War. Material theft was a real problem at the time.

The locks and the canal adjacent were finally open for navigation in 1642, under the name "Canal de Loyre en Seyne", before taking the name Briare Canal in 1666. The lock were the first of their kind to be built in France. The life of the villagers was thus linked to navigation in the area, and they were proud to lead the boats on the towpath.

Work was done in 1822 to modernize the locks, but they were closed in 1887, after new ones were built. Each lock is 27 meters long, for a total of 238m, and 4.32 meters wide. They were designated national historical monument in 1983.

Cultural event
Every year since 1967 at the end of July, the commune has held a pyrotechnics show next to the locks. This is also the occasion for musical and comedy performances, before the main event of the fireworks.

Little Harle Tower is a  Grade II* listed privately owned country house with 15th-century origins, located at Little Harle, Kirkwhelpington, Northumberland.

History
The property, believed to have been built in the late 15th century as a pele tower, was first recorded in a survey of 1541.

Until 1552 it was the property of the Fenwick family, from whom it passed to the Aynsleys. During the early years of the 19th century Harle Tower was inhabited by Lord Charles Murray-Aynsley and his wife Alicia, née Mitford.

In around 1848 it was purchased by Thomas Anderson (c.1808–72) previously of Anderson Place (Greyfriars), Newcastle (who was Deputy Lieutenant, JP, and High Sheriff of Northumberland in 1843–4). His descendants remain in residence (with the East Wing of the house occupied by the Turnbull family in 2005 and the Rogers family in 2010, but as of 2013, it is home of the Andersons).

Architecture
The house incorporates a three-storey tower of medieval origins. The central two-storey block of five bays dates from the early 18th century. Substantial additions were made in the Gothic Revival style in about 1862, but much of the 19th-century work has not survived a remodelling of the property in 1980.

The 19th-century stable block is also a separately listed Grade II building.

Phegopteris hexagonoptera, commonly called the broad beech fern, is a common forest fern in the eastern United States and adjacent Ontario. It grows from a creeping rootstock, sending up individual fronds that more or less clump. Its native habitat includes moist, undisturbed, hardwood forests.

The fronds are broadly triangular. The specific name hexagonoptera refers to the winging of leaf tissue along the rachis between the basal pinnae.

Sori are small, round and naked. This aspect of the plant has caused it in the past to be placed, at first, in the genus Polypodium, then grouped with genus Dryopteris, then with the genus Thelypteris.  Genetic analysis has shown the genus Phegopteris to be a sister clade to the rest of the thelypteroid ferns.

Rare hybrids with Phegopteris connectilis are known.

This fern makes an excellent garden plant, gradually filling in a bed.

The Transmutation of Ike Garuda is a two-issue prestige format mini-series published by the Epic Comics imprint of Marvel Comics, with the first issue being released in 1991 and the second issue in 1992. It was written by Elaine Lee, with art by James Sherman.

Like some of Elaine Lee's other work, The Transmutation of Ike Garuda is science fiction of the noir space opera genre.

Setting
The Transmutation of Ike Garuda is set in a future in which interstellar spaceflight transportation has been obsoleted by the Galactic Access System (abbreviated G.A.S.), an interstellar transportation system that uses teleportation devices called wombs that function in a way similar to the transporters of Star Trek. Wombs are not entirely reliable: luggage is frequently lost, and, less commonly, people are lost as well (it is also implied that the Tranzit Authority may deliberately "lose" its enemies, thereby assassinating them). Furthermore, a few planets, like New Saxon, are off-line, meaning that, for unknown (at least, at the beginning of the story) reasons, they cannot be reached by G.A.S.

The universe is dominated by four organizations:

 the G.A.S. Tranzit Authority (abbreviated T.A.), the most powerful megacorp in the universe due to its monopoly over G.A.S.
 Diamond Minds (abbreviated D.M.), a smaller megacorp, rival to the Tranzit Authority; it specializes in mind-related technologies and controls a planet also known as Diamond Minds
 Cybertronics Systems (abbreviated Cy-Systems), a megacorp specializing in cyberware and organ growing
 Hermeeze Elite (abbreviated Hermeeze or Elite), a very reliable courier service whose Grade A couriers may be trusted to safeguard the messages they carry with their lives

Some terms are different from modern-day usage. Computers are known as brain-banks, or more simply, as brains or banks. The calendar uses, instead of years, periods of time known as kics or kiks (the spelling differs through the comic).

Plot synopsis
Private detective Ike Garuda is called in by Diamond Minds, ostensibly to investigate the theft of a prototype of one of its experimental technologies, a sending platform or soloflight transport device. As Garuda investigates, he learns that rather than being involved in a simple industrial espionage case, he is actually caught up in a deeper and much more complex conspiracy that threatens to upset the balance of power in the universe.

Characters
Characters, in order of their appearance or mention in The Transmutation of Ike Garuda, with descriptions of whom they apparently are when they are first introduced (by the end of the story, many of the characters are revealed to be something other than what they initially seemed):

 Ike Garuda, the protagonist, a private detective who has had some of his memories artificially erased against his will
 Frankie Pongo, a Grade B (second-rate) courier sent by Jim Diamond to meet Garuda when Garuda arrives on Diamond Minds
 Jim Diamond, owner of Diamond Minds, who hires Garuda
 Lark Diamond, daughter of Jim Diamond and manager of Diamond Minds, who deals with Garuda on her father's behalf
 Barry Reasoner, a stuttering engineer who witnessed the robbery of the sending platform
 Billy Argent, head of Cybertronics Systems, dying of a degenerative disease
 an unnamed Ontean, an alien from the off-line planet Onté who desperately wants to return home, working as a supervisor for the Tranzit Authority
 Maera Lethe, a Tranzit Authority agent and interrogator-through-torture who has history with Garuda
 Lark Too, a biodroid copy of Lark Diamond
 Lirren Vyne, owner of the pleasure planet Vyne's World, a member of the three-sexed Rhodbydysawd
 Eddie Argent, nephew and representative of Billy Argent
 Director Paloma, a representative of the Tranzit Authority
 Xavier Swann, head of Hermeeze Elite, living on his generation spaceship (or gen ship, for short) Swannsong
 Lekbah, a Grade A Hermeeze Elite courier working for Xavier Swann
 Boote, Xavier Swann's guard, born in and adapted for low-gravity environments
 Jerry Diamond, Jim Diamond's cousin

Themes
The Transmutation of Ike Garuda explores a number of science fiction existential themes and asks bioethical questions, such as whether a person who enters a womb has the same identity as the same person reconstituted in a womb on another planet, and whether biodroid copies are just as real as the people on whom they are based.

Coulanges-la-Vineuse () is a commune in the Yonne department in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté in north-central France. Best known for its wines, Coulanges produces extremely pleasing Red and Rosé wines, similar in style to those of nearby Irancy, although lacking something of the depth and structure. Most of the vines are Pinot Noir, although a few Gamay and Cesar vines remain. Unlike Irancy it is yet to win its own Village Appellation and the wines are labelled under the regional appellation Bourgogne Coulanges-la-Vineuse.

Ghosts of India is a BBC Books original novel written by Mark Morris and based on the long-running science fiction television series Doctor Who. It features the Tenth Doctor and Donna Noble and also Gandhi.

Summary
India in 1947 is a country in the grip of chaos - a country torn apart by internal strife. When the Doctor and Donna arrive in Calcutta, they are instantly swept up in violent events.

Barely escaping with their lives, they discover that the city is rife with tales of 'half-made men' who roam the streets at night and steal people away. These creatures, it is said, are as white as salt and have only shadows where their eyes should be. With help from India's great spiritual leader, Mahatma Gandhi, the Doctor and Donna set out to investigate these rumours.

What is the real truth behind the 'half-made men'? Why is Gandhi's role in history under threat? And has an ancient, all-powerful god of destruction really come back to wreak his vengeance upon the Earth?

Audiobook
An abridged audiobook was released on 12 March 2009, read by David Troughton, who is the son of Second Doctor actor, Patrick Troughton, and who also played Professor Winfold Hobbes in "Midnight".

Yardley of London (usually referred to simply as Yardley or Yardleys) is a British personal care brand and one of the oldest firms in the world to specialise in cosmetics, fragrances and related toiletry products. Established in 1770, the company became a major producer of soap and perfumery by the beginning of the 20th century.

By 1910, the company had moved to London's upmarket Bond Street, and Yardley received its first Royal Warrant in 1921. Today, the company holds two Royal Warrants.

Since 2009, Yardley has been owned by Wipro, an Indian multinational conglomerate.

History
The company was established by the Cleaver family in 1770, which is the official date displayed on its product labels. According to the company's website, an earlier incarnation existed prior to this, but most records of the earlier company were lost in the Great Fire of London of 1666.

The company is named after William Yardley, who purchased the firm in 1823 from the sons of founder, Samuel Cleaver, who had gone into bankruptcy. The company became Yardley & Statham in 1841 when Charles Yardley, son of William, took on William Statham as a partner in the business. At the time, the business sold perfumes, soaps, powders, hair pomades and other toiletries.

In 1851, the company, which was still known as Yardley & Statham, exhibited at the Great Exhibition in The Crystal Palace. The same year, they changed their name to Yardley & Co. Yardley & Statham exhibited soap and perfume, including a soap called Old Brown Windsor, which was embossed with a picture of Windsor Castle and was one of their first production soaps.

In 1913, Yardley adopted Francis Wheatley's Flowersellers painting, from his Cries of London series, as their new corporate logo. The yellow primroses being sold in baskets in the painting, were replaced, in the logo, with sheaths of lavender.

Yardley's signature scent is English Lavender, which was launched in 1873. English Lavender was popular during the Victorian Era in England, and was exported to the USA in the 1880s, where it became popular in American households.

The variety of lavender that Yardley uses in their products is Lavandula angustifolia, which is specially grown for Yardley in the South of England. Lavandula angustifolia was selected by the company in the 1930s, after a several year search for the finest variety.

Due to the growing popularity of Yardley soaps and cosmetics at the turn of the 20th century, the company opened a shop in 1910 on Bond Street in London. The original Yardley shop on Bond Street was at 8 New Bond Street, but it later moved to 33 Old Bond Street.

Yardley was acquired in 1967 by British American Tobacco (BAT). That same year, British model Twiggy became the face of Yardley. The company sold "Twiggy Eyelashes," "Twiggy Paint," and other cosmetics with her as the spokesmodel. Yardley became a symbol of Swinging London and was associated with the 1960s British youth culture of miniskirts, Carnaby Street and mod fashions.

In 1970, Yardley was the title sponsor of British Racing Motors for two years, with the team racing as Yardley Team BRM. Yardley then moved to the then-Bruce McLaren Motor Racing in 1972, becoming the team's first title sponsor. The team raced as Yardley Team McLaren for three years. Part of the sponsorship deal with the two Formula One teams is a black, gold and ochre stripes in a stylised "Y" painted on the car's bodywork.

In 1970, BAT organized its cosmetic businesses, which included Yardley, into British American Cosmetics. The cosmetics division was sold to Beecham Group in 1984. The following year, Yardley was sold to Wasserstein Perella & Co.

In 1991, Yardley introduced English Blazer, a range of men's grooming products.

In 1998, Yardley was placed into receivership after a year of marketing attempts to update its old-fashioned image. That same year, Yardley was acquired by Wella.

In 2005, Lornamead acquired Yardley for £60 million. In 2013, Li & Fung Group (now Fung Group) acquired Lornamead.

In 2009, Wipro Consumer Care and Lighting acquired Yardley from Lornamead for certain markets (Asia, Middle East, Australasia, as well as North and West Africa) for $45.5 million. In 2012, Wipro purchased the UK-European division from Lornamead, with the exception of Germany and Austria, where Lornamead remains the owner/rights holder.

In 2010, Bollywood actress Katrina Kaif was made the brand ambassador for Yardleys in India.

Royal Warrants
Yardley has had a long association with the British Royal Family and has been awarded the Royal Warrant of Appointment (UK) six times. The company has supplied several British monarchs with toiletries.
1921 – Edward, Prince of Wales; Perfumers and fine soap makers
1932 – Queen Mary; Perfumer
1949 – George VI; Purveyors of soap
1955 – Elizabeth II; Manufacturers of soap
1960 – Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother; Perfumers and manufacturers
1995 – Charles III; Manufacturers of toilet preparations

Tannerre-en-Puisaye () is a commune in the Yonne department, in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, in north-central France, in the historical region of Puisaye.

It is famous for its antique ferrier, (fr) one of the two largest in France with  covered.  It has been a listed Heritage Monument since 1982.

A "ferrier" is a mound, hillock or hill made with residues from the extraction and smelting of iron ore.

Geography

Tannerre is crossed by the Branlin river, a tributary of the Ouanne river.

History

Tannerre's ferrier was started during the Iron Age, but 80% of its bulk was made during the 300 years of Roman occupation. A Celtic village, which then became Gallo-Roman, was set half-way up the hill on which the ferrier grew.

After the Romans left, the mining activity in the area steadily declined to almost entirely disappear towards the 10th century. By then, the village had moved down near the river, where it still lays.

During the 10th century, a fort called "Motte-Champlay" was built on a leveled surface above the piles of slag. It was destroyed by English captain Robert Knolles in 1360, along with the village and its other fort in the valley.

The ferrier's slag had long been used in a small way to repair roads and pathways. Towards the end of the 19th century, industrial methods began to be applied. To that purpose, a whole railway network was built in the ferrier at the beginning of the 20th century, using a  mm narrow gauge within the ferrier and a 600 mm gauge for the out-going tracks, complete with switches, turntables, derailers, workshop and well. It enabled the approach and operation of all workstations.

The slag, still richer in iron than the common ore in Lorraine, was sent to the blast furnaces that were a trademark of that eastern part of France at that time. Not only it enriched their iron content; it also contained silica, a natural flux that helped the reduction reaction necessary to extract the iron from its ore, and was said the "cure" the blast furnaces.

Present day

The ferrier's industrial exploitation ceased in 1982, when it became a Heritage site. During the following 25 years it became overgrown and was occasionally used as a dump.

An association was created in 2008, "Le ferrier de Tannerre". After cleaning up the grounds, retracing paths in the wood, building dry toilets a.s.o., they have built a forge, recreated a bloomery furnace (in fact several, as bloomeries' lifespan does not exceed 3 or 4 loads) and double bellows for it, and restored large bellows for the forge. They also found a vintage quarry tub and draisine, now on display in the ferrier, and have recreated some of the old railway network to illustrate the ferrier's 20th century industrial period.

The association also holds a yearly ferrier party in September, with demonstrations of the working bloomery; visitors can try their hand at the forge and at pottery, there are children games, a free guided tour, and a meal composed with old recipes and roasted boar.

Orienteering

The association "Le ferrier de Tannerre" has also enlisted the help of regional sports authorities and initiated the creation of a fully-fledged orienteering triple course (3 levels of difficulty), with 25 permanent control points and the corresponding 3 orienteering maps. There is also a presentation panel at the main entrance of the ferrier. National events have already been held there.

Thorigny-sur-Oreuse is a commune in the Yonne department in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté in north-central France.

History
The history of the village from the pre-historic and Roman periods has been well documented in the book written in 1886 by the abbot Henri Bouvier Histoire de Thorigny-sur-Oreuse.

An effort by the heritage society "Les amis de Thorigny" attempts to bring to light the historical importance of this ancient village and to protect the important monuments such as the sloping medieval church with still visible military fortifications and which was built on the source of the Oreuse river, the gardens of the Château du Thorigny which was dismantled during the revolution, the Château de Fleurigny and the Commanderie de Launay.

Murat Direkci (born 17 July 1975 in Antwerp, Belgium) is a Belgian-Turkish middleweight kickboxer, fighting out of Universal Gym, Antwerp, Belgium.

Early life
Direkci was born in Antwerp, Belgium as the youngest son of three siblings to a family originally from Konya, Derebucak, Turkey. His sister Nuray died at the age of 4 due to a brain tumor, and his brother Ercan died in 2004 as a result of a traffic accident at 29. After completing his school education, Direkci studied at technical school with the intention of becoming an electrician. After a short while, he found a job as a doorman at a nightclub in Antwerp, however, and took up this career.

Career
Direkci began training in martial arts at the age of 15 and was originally trained by Jan Gooyvaers. In 1999, he began training under Jan Pasztjerik.

After becoming the Belgian, European and World champion in kickboxing and muay Thai, he made his K-1 debut against Fikri Tijarti at the K-1 World Grand Prix 2006 in Amsterdam in May 2006, winning by technical knockout in round 3. In February the following year, he faced former K-1 world champion Albert Kraus at the K-1 World MAX 2007 Japan Tournament in Tokyo and shocked the world by knocking Kraus out in the first round. After winning two more fights in K-1, over Joerie Mes and Satoruvaschicoba, he took part in the final 16 of the 2008 K-1 World MAX at K-1 World MAX 2008 World Championship Tournament Final 16 in April 2008 but lost to Yoshihiro Sato via decision.

On February 8, 2009, he became the It's Showtime 70MAX Champion by defeating Gago Drago via technical knockout at Fights at the Border presents: It's Showtime 2009 in his hometown of Antwerp. He made his first defence of the title against Morocco's Chahid Oulad El Hadj at It's Showtime 2009 Lommel in October 2009, before losing it to Congolese Muay Thai fighter Chris Ngimbi at Yiannis Evgenikos presents: It’s Showtime Athens in December 2010.

Direkci lost a decision to Robin van Roosmalen at It's Showtime 2012 in Leeuwarden on January 28, 2012. Following the fight, he announced his retirement.

He would then come out of retirement, however, to face Nieky Holzken at Glory 2: Brussels on October 6, 2012 in Brussels, Belgium. He apparently decided that he will no longer cut weight for his fights and will fight Holzken at 78 kg as opposed to his usual division of 70 kg. He lost via TKO due to a cut in the second round.

He lost to Canadian prospect Joseph Valtellini via TKO due to corner stoppage in round two at Glory 6: Istanbul in Istanbul, Turkey on April 6, 2013.

In July 2019, Enfusion announced Murat would return after a six year hiatus. Two weeks later, they announced Hafid El Boustati as his opponent. The two of them met during Enfusion 90, with El Boustati winning a split  decision.

 2009–10 It's Showtime 70MAX Champion (1 title defence)

Saint-Privé () is a commune in the Yonne department in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté in north-central France.

The commune is crossed by the river Loing. The river Beaune, an affluent of the Loing, takes its source on the territory of the commune.

The name of the village came from Privat of Mende, a French hermit and bishop from Guevaudan who died as a martyr in 260. His cult became really popular during the Middle Age and many villages and parishes took his name. The first known written trace on the village is from a 13th-century text, in a book on the fief owned by Philippe Auguste.

Humane presence on the territory is present since Palaeolithic, and many silex tools were found, notably by André Huchet on a site on the limit between Saint-Privé and Bléneau. More than 2000 silex tools were collected on a territory of less than 25 hectares.

It seems the village had been named Laoderus before taking the name Saint-Privé. Laoderus was a 6th-century parish under the direction of the diocese of Auxerre, but the exact location had never been officially established.

The church of the commune was built in the 16th century and is dedicated to Saint-Privat. It was named Monument historique and national heritage site in 1903. The church has three naves with four bays each and a vaulted stone cellar. The fleur-de-lys keystone of the choir give indication of the builders of the church: Nicolas d'Anjou, lord of the area, François de Courtenay, lord of Bléneau, the abbey of Laurey and Philippe de Courtenay.

The French painter Henri Harpignies, surnamed the "Michelangelo of trees", lived in Saint-Privé until his death in 1916.

A barrack was built in the commune in 1938 to lodge the mobile guard in preparation of the war to come. Many were expropriated in order to build the camp. On 15 June 1940, Auxerre, Sens and all of Yonne are taken by Germany. Thousands of refugees crossed the department trying to get to the south. On the night of 17 June, an arch of the Saint-Privé bridge exploded, causing severe damage to many house in the village.
