The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD or Taehige; Amharic: ታላቁ የኢትዮጵያ ሕዳሴ ግድብ? Tālāqu ye-Ītyōppyā Hidāsē Gidib ), formerly known as the Millennium Dam and sometimes referred to as Hidase Dam, is a gravity dam on the Blue Nile River in Ethiopia currently under construction. It is in the Benishangul-Gumuz Region of Ethiopia, about 15 km (9 mi) east of the border with Sudan. At 6,000 MW, the dam will be the largest hydroelectric power plant in Africa when completed, as well as the 11th largest in the world sharing the spot with the Krasnoyarsk Dam. The storage reservoir has a surface area of 1561 km² at level of 640 m, i.e. 146 m behind the dam which holds a large volume of water equal to 79 billion m³. According to the Ethiopian government, as of October 2014, the dam is 40% complete. The potential impacts of the dam have been the source of severe regional controversy. The Government of Egypt, a country which relies heavily on the waters of the Nile, has demanded that Ethiopia cease construction on the dam as a preconditions to negotiations, sought regional support for its position, and some political leaders have discussed methods to sabotage it. Egypt has planned a diplomatic initiative to undermine support for the dam in the region as well as in other countries supporting the project such as China, Italy, and Norway. However, other nations in the Nile Basin Initiative have expressed support for the dam, including Sudan, the only other nation downstream of the Blue Nile, which has accused Egypt of inflaming the situation. Ethiopia denies that the dam will have a negative impact on downstream water flows and contends that the dam will in fact increase water flows to Egypt by reducing evaporation on Lake Nasser. It has accused Egypt of being unreasonable; Egypt is demanding to increase its share of the Nile's water flow from 66% to 90%.

The 2007–08 Kenyan crisis was a political, economic, and humanitarian crisis that erupted in Kenya after incumbent President Mwai Kibaki was declared the winner of the presidential election held on December 27, 2007. Supporters of Kibaki's opponent, Raila Odinga of the Orange Democratic Movement, alleged electoral manipulation. This was widely confirmed by international observers, perpetrated by both parties in the election. In part due to the ethnic and geographic diversity of Kenyan politics, no one narrative can explain the reaction of opposition supporters to the announcement of Kibaki's swearing-in, which was done on December 30, 2007 in the evening. In addition to staging several non-violent protests, opposition supporters went on a violent rampage killing Kikuyus. Raila Odinga encouraged supporters to engage in mass protests which he announced on local television and radio stations, most noticeably in Mombasa, Eldoret, Kericho, Kisumu, Nakuru and parts of Nairobi. Police shot hundreds of violent demonstrators, including a few in front of TV news cameras, causing more violence. Targeted ethnic violence (as opposed to violent protests) escalated and at first was directed mainly against Kikuyu people—the community of which Kibaki is a member—living outside their traditional settlement areas, especially in the Rift Valley Province. The violence started with the murder of over 50 unarmed Kikuyu women and children, some as young as a month old, by locking them in a church and burning them alive in Kiambaa village near Eldoret, on New Year's Day. Tensions in the Rift Valley have caused violence in several previous Kenyan elections, most notably in the 1992 Kenyan Elections. This prompted the Kikuyu to start defending themselves which forced the Luos and Kalenjins to stop the killings of the Kikuyus. In Mombasa, Kenyan coastal residents took to the streets to protest the electoral manipulations and support their preferred candidate, Odinga. Tensions rose as the landless indigenous Coastal communities felt this was a time to avenge the grabbing of their land by mainly up–country Kikuyu. Looters also struck a number of stores in Mombasa. The slums of Nairobi saw some of the worst violence, some of it ethnically motivated, some expression of outrage at extreme poverty, and some the actions of criminal gangs. The violence continued sporadically for several months, particularly in the Rift Valley. Former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan arrived in the country about a month after the election and successfully brought the two sides to the negotiating table. On February 28, 2008, Kibaki and Odinga signed a power-sharing agreement called the National Accord and Reconciliation Act 2008, which established the office of the Prime Minister and created a coalition government. The power-sharing Cabinet, headed by Odinga as Prime Minister, was eventually named on April 13, after lengthy negotiations over its composition; it was sworn in on April 17.

Gongylomorphus is a genus of skinks (family Scincidae). It is endemic to Mauritius and its tiny offshore islands. It was formerly included in Scelotes. This genus is usually placed in the subfamily Scincinae which seems to be paraphyletic however. It belongs to a major clade of this group which does not seem to include the type genus Scincus however. Thus, it will probably be eventually assigned to a new, yet-to-be-named subfamily.(Austin & Arnold 2006) Species \n* Gongylomorphus bojerii, Bojer's skink \n* Gonglyomorphus borbonicus† Réunion slit-eared skink (extinct) \n* Gongylomorphus fontenayi, Macchabe skink \n* Gongylomorphus sp., Orange-tail skink

Andrew Marshall Saul (born November 6, 1946) is an American businessman from Katonah, New York who served as the Chairman of the Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board (FRTIB) and Vice Chairman of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) in New York City, United States. Saul has been a General Partner in the investment firm Saul Partners, L.P., since 1986. As Chairman of the Thrift Investment Board, he was responsible for overseeing the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) which is the retirement savings account for employees of the Federal Government and soldiers of the armed services. The TSP is known to reap higher returns for their retirement than comparable private-sector workers, and is immune from many of the problems that plague mutual funds. During Saul's tenure, the TSP was grown to over $200 billion in assets by 2007, making it twice as large as when he began in 2003. He also cut operating expenses by over $20 million. The TSP is the largest defined contribution plan in the world with over 3.7 million participants and assets worth over $210 billion. The plan is expected to grow to at least $300 billion by 2010. His largest accomplishment with the Thrift Savings Board was to eliminate open enrollment periods, which allows eligible participants to enroll year-round, and the launch of lifecycle funds, which automatically allocate investments to minimize risk as a federal employee nears retirement. During monthly FRTIB board meetings, Saul pushed for improvements in technology and customer service, and was instrumental in having the board hire an outside auditor to review TSP financial statements and bring any concerns directly to the board rather than to TSP staff. He is required by law to be independent and act in the best interests of plan participants. As chairman, Saul urged the board to send a signal to Congress that the Thrift Savings Plan cannot be drawn into social or political debates, even for good causes. He also opposed so-called \"terror-free\" investments which would divest the plan from holdings in any government designated by the State Department as a terrorist-sponsoring state, or in businesses with substantial investments in those nations. He was a major advocate for ensuring that its computer systems and offerings keep pace with the program's expanding size. Saul has been active in Republican Party politics. In 2007 he began a campaign for the Republican nomination to run against U.S. Representative John Hall in the 2008 election, but withdrew from the race in November 2007.

Marc Lovell (born 2 June 1982 in Chester, England) is an English professional ice hockey player, currently playing for the Flintshire Freeze in the English National Ice Hockey League. Lovell began his career in 2002 after having been encouraged by watching the Deeside Dragons. After teaching himself to skate, and then play to a reasonable standard, he began to play for the Telford Wild Foxes in the English Premier Ice Hockey League. His first season was an excellent one, and in 33 games scored 14 goals and 12 assists as well as totalling 34 penalty minutes. He would start the following 2003/04 season as a WildFox, but was quickly signed up by the Manchester Phoenix, a newly established team icing in the Elite Ice Hockey League, the highest standard of club hockey in the United Kingdom. Lovell would be a regular player for the Phoenix, playing 54 regular season and 6 post-season games, although only managing 7 points in that time. Despite making the post-season the Manchester organisation would encounter financial difficulties stemming from their use of the Manchester Evening News Arena and its significant rental costs. This meant that the Phoenix would be temporarily suspended in the summer of 2004, leaving Lovell without a club. He would return to the Telford Wildfoxes for the 2004/05 season and played in 22 games, although again struggled to find his scoring touch managing just three points all season. He stayed in Telford though and would ice as a Telford Tiger the year after as the organisation underwent a name change. A second opportunity to play in the EIHL arose and in the summer of 2006, Lovell signed for the Edinburgh Capitals. Opportunities were hard to come by though and after just two games and one point, Lovell was released by the Capitals and would play out the rest of the season with Telford, although would be released in the summer of 2007. After his release, Lovell would move to join the Flintshire Freeze. During the 2008/09 campaign, he would manage to score 29 points in 23 games and was announced as club captain.

The Ringwood Bypass is a short stretch of road extending from EastLink to Maroondah Highway in Melbourne, Australia. It allows the Maroondah Highway to bypass the main shopping centre in the eastern Melbourne suburb of Ringwood. Originally known as the Eastern Freeway Extension, it was renamed the Ringwood Bypass to avoid connotations that it was part of a freeway network for accessing the CBD. The first stage of the road opened in September 1996, starting at Mount Dandenong Road and heading east. As part of the EastLink works, the road was extended by 1.5 km to connect to the Maroondah Highway and EastLink. In 2003 there was controversy about whether the bypass would be tolled, with the State Government making assurances that it would not be. The speed limit is 80 kilometres per hour (50 mph).

The Bibliothèque de la Pléiade ([bi.bli.jɔ.tɛk də la ple.jad], \"Pleiades Library\") is a French series of books which was created in 1931 by Jacques Schiffrin, an independent young editor. Schiffrin wanted to provide the public with reference editions of the complete works of classic authors in a pocket format. André Gide took an interest in Schiffrin's project and brought it into Gallimard, under which it is still published. The Pléiade has a strong emphasis on works that were originally written in French, though the collection also includes classics of world literature, such as bilingual editions of the works of William Shakespeare, or French editions of Jane Austen's work. To date, more than eight hundred books have been published in the series, with eleven books generally published every year. The \"entry into the Pléiade\" is considered a major sign of recognition for an author in France, and it is extremely rare that a living author is published in the Pléiade. In 1992, Gallimard and Einaudi began a similar series of literature in Italian, the Biblioteca della Pléiade. The Library of America series, launched in 1979, is a similar project in the United States inspired by the Bibliothèque de la Pléiade.

The Crucial Three were a short-lived band that existed for approximately six weeks in early 1977. They are nevertheless notable on account of the individual success of all three founding members: Julian Cope formed The Teardrop Explodes and has enjoyed a long and successful solo career as an author, photographer and singer, Ian McCulloch formed the very successful Echo & the Bunnymen, while guitarist Pete Wylie formed Wah! Heat (and various subsequent incarnations of Wah!) and enjoyed major chart success with \"The Story of the Blues\". In those early days, McCulloch sang, Cope played bass, and Wylie played guitar. A drummer, Stephen Spence, also joined at some point in their brief life.

The parish of Christ Church, Shelton and Oxon lies within the Diocese of Lichfield, in the county of Shropshire, England. The parish church was built in 1854 by Edward Haycock Snr in Early English style with many lancet features. It is located on Welshpool Road in what is now suburban Shrewsbury, and is a Grade II listed building. The exterior has rubble walls with ashlar dressings. There is a bellcote and a gabled porch. The interior has a scissor-braced roof, an elaborate ashlar reredos (begun in 1886 and not completed until 1904), an ashlar pulpit with a pelican motif, an octagonal ashlar font, and stained glass windows (from 1884, 1948, and 1967). A new stained glass window was placed above the chancel arch to celebrate the new millennium in 2001 The churchyard contains the war graves of two airmen and a Herefordshire Regiment soldier of World War II. The parish has a population of about 8500 whilst the church has seating for 150. The church was built to cater for those cut off by flooding of the River Severn, on an area of land called the \"Windmill Field.\" The parish was formed from that of St Chad's Church, Shrewsbury, and includes the former townships of Crowmeole, Woodcote and Horton, Bicton Heath, and Copthorne. Parish boundaries were adjusted in 1957. The boundaries were redrawn in the early 21st century to reflect population growth. In 2004 the church celebrated 150 years by planting a new Oxon Oak. The church is linked to the Oxon Church of England Primary School, which opened next to the church in 1860, but moved to nearby Racecourse Lane in 1959.

Andrews (first name and dates unknown) was an English cricketer who played in first-class matches for Slindon Cricket Club during the 1740s. He is recorded in cricket's oldest surviving scorecard playing for Slindon against London at the Artillery Ground on Saturday, 2 June 1744. He scored six runs. Slindon won by 55 runs. As Andrews had established his reputation by 1744, he must have been active for some years previously and his career probably began in the 1730s. Very few players were mentioned by name in contemporary reports and there are no other references to Andrews.

Her first piece, a one-shot, was about old-style talking demons. She is most known for her manga VS (also known as 'Versus'), which has been noted for its unusual premise, in that it centres on violinists. Yamada is also known for her distinctive drawing style which exaggerates elements of classic manga style, a style similar to that of the manhwa Chocolat, illustrated by Geo. The watercolour-like quality of her coloured work has also been praised.

Woodrow \"Woody\" Sauldsberry Jr. (July 11, 1934 – September 3, 2007) was an American National Basketball Association player. Sauldsberry was born in Winnsboro, Louisiana and graduated from Compton Union High School, where he was the star of his basketball team, and then went on to attend Texas Southern University. In 1957 he was drafted in Round 8 by the Philadelphia Warriors (now the Golden State Warriors). The following year in 1958, he was named the league's Rookie of the Year — the second African American ever to win the award and becoming the lowest overall draft pick ever to win the award, a record he still holds. In 1959 he played in the NBA All-Star Game. Later in his career he played for the St. Louis Hawks, Chicago Zephyrs and Boston Celtics. Statistically, Woody Sauldsberry was an extremely poor shooter, having a field goal percentage of just 34.8% for his career. As a result, he has the lowest number of win shares of any player in NBA history, -7.9. During the 1950s Sauldsberry was part of the Harlem Globetrotters. After becoming bitter over discrimination and shunning the basketball world, he died in poverty in Baltimore, Maryland after having a foot amputated due to diabetes.

U.S. Central Federal Credit Union was the largest corporate credit union in the United States. Unlike consumer driven credit unions (referred to as \"natural person\" credit unions in the industry), U.S. Central provided its services only to other corporate credit unions, in effect acting as the \"corporate credit union's credit union\". The organization was founded in 1974. U.S. Central did not serve consumers directly, a role fulfilled by consumer credit unions, it was instead established to serve the credit union industry by providing opportunities for investments through government approved instruments and providing liquidity (credit) needs to regional and state corporate credit unions which need them. U.S. Central also provided other industry standard services such as payment systems, electronic funds transfer services and item processing. The organization also provided economic services and forecasts specific to the credit union industry. Many of its operations and services paralleled that of a central bank, except it serves corporate credit unions rather than commercial banks. U.S. Central Federal Credit Union was located in Lenexa, Kansas. In January 2009, the National Credit Union Administration injected $1 billion into U.S. Central. On March 20, 2009, NCUA placed U.S. Central Credit Union into conservatorship. The NCUA was unable to obtain a buyer for the services and began winding down its operations. The credit union was officially shut down October 29, 2012.

Pseudochaete is a genus of green algae, in the family Chaetophoraceae. However, this genus is not recognized by all authorities, sometimes being considered part of genus Stigeoclonium. The name Pseudochaete, published by T. Wagner & M. Fischer in 2002, is also used for a genus of fungi belonging to the family Hymenochaetaceae and formerly part of genus Hymenochaete described by Léveillé. According to Index Fungorum, the fungus name is illegitimate (and the algal genus has priority) but its use is widespread.
