title: Panic On

text:
Panic On is the second album by indie pop band Madder Rose, released in March 1994 on Atlantic Records.

Recording
The album was recorded with, and co-produced by, Mark Freegard at Waterfront Studios in Hoboken, New Jersey. According to Madder Rose guitarist Billy Cote, the band recorded Panic On just after they had finished touring, and had only ten days to prepare for the recording sessions. He has also said that it was very easy to record the album's songs. After the album was recorded, the band's bassist, Matt Verta-Ray, left the band, whereupon they had five weeks to choose a new one; they settled on Chris Giammalvo from Eve's Plum.

Critical reception

Among the many critics who reviewed Panic On favorably was Rolling Stones Kara Manning, who wrote that it "beautifully blends poetry and mayhem" and gave it 4 out of 5 stars. Robert Christgau, however, was less complimentary, awarding the album a "neither", which, according to him, denotes an album that "may impress once or twice with consistent craft or an arresting track or two. Then it won't."

title: East Trinidad cricket team

text:
The East Trinidad cricket team played first-class cricket from 1971 to 1979, competing in the Beaumont Cup and its successor competition the Texaco Cup.

When the Beaumont Cup, which had been contested by South Trinidad and North Trinidad since 1925–26, was expanded in 1970–71, East Trinidad and Central Trinidad were added to make up a four-team first-class competition, which was renamed the Texaco Cup in 1971–72. In 1978–79 Tobago joined the competition in its final season of first-class status.

East Trinidad were successful immediately, winning four of their first five matches and taking the title in 1971–72 and 1976–77. In all they played 22 matches, with six wins, seven losses and nine draws.

Their highest score was 128 by Alvin Corneal in their victorious 1971–72 final against South Trinidad, when he scored 50 out of a team total of 140, then 128 out of a total of 209, while Imtiaz Ali took 10 for 69 in the match (7 for 27 and 3 for 42), East Trinidad's best match figures. In the first match of the next season Ali took 8 for 38 (10 for 92 in the match), East Trinidad's best innings figures, against Central Trinidad.

East Trinidad played five home matches, three of them at Sir Frank Worrell Memorial Ground, Saint Augustine and two at Princess Royal Park, Arima.

title: Agar Adamson

text:
Agar Stewart Allan Masterton Adamson   (25 December 1865 – 21 November 1929) was a Canadian soldier who married the Toronto heiress Mabel Cawthra. He served with distinction in the Second Boer War and in World War I, and commanded the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry from 1916 to 1918. He died after an airplane crash in the Irish sea.

Early years

Agar Stewart Allan Masterton Adamson was born in Ottawa on 25 December 1865.
He was the second and last son of James Adamson and Mary Julia Derbishire. He came from a well-connected Upper Canada family. His paternal grandfather was William Agar Adamson, an Anglo-Irish parson who came to Canada in 1840 and was chaplain to the Governor, Lord Sydenham. His maternal grandfather was Stuart Derbishire, who came to Canada in 1838 as a confidential agent of Lord Durham and was the first elected representative for Bytown (now Ottawa) for the Province of Canada.
His father was a lawyer in Ottawa and clerk of the Senate of Canada.

Adamson had a privileged childhood and was educated at the private Trinity College School in Port Hope, Ontario.
He then studied in Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, originally planning to enter the church.
He was an excellent athlete, played field sports and rowed, and won the Newmarket Stakes on his own horse.
He did not obtain a degree.

After returning to Canada, on 4 February 1890 Adamson became a junior clerk of the Senate.
He threw himself into the social life of Ottawa.
In 1893, he obtained a commission as 2nd lieutenant in the Number 4 Company of the Governor General's Foot Guards, a militia regiment.
He had reached the rank of captain of militia by 1899. Most of his military duties were ceremonial.
On 15 November 1899, he married Ann Mabel Cawthra (1871–1943) in Toronto. She was an heiress and a talented artist, with an independent personality.
They had two sons.

His wife's family owned a huge amount of property in the western part of Toronto.

Second Boer War

After his marriage Adamson was transferred to Halifax, Nova Scotia, to serve with the 3rd (Special Service) Battalion, Royal Canadian Regiment of Infantry. This unit had been thrown together quickly so that the regular garrison in Halifax, the Leinster Regiment, could be released for other duties.
Adamson was anxious to serve in the Second Boer War (1899–1902). In March 1900 he used his connections to obtain a position with Lord Strathcona's Horse as a lieutenant in charge of a group of fifty soldiers who were to be sent to South Africa to replace casualties.
He left Halifax in late April 1900.
He met his draft in Ottawa, left with them on 30 April 1900 for Montreal, and sailed for England the next day.

The small group, most with little or no real military experience, traveled without incident via Liverpool and London to Cape Town.
They reached South Africa early in June 1900.
After a stay at Maitland camp, they sailed via Port Elizabeth and East London for Durban, Natal, to join the Natal Field Force led by General Redvers Buller.
Adamson's troop saw action on 5 July 1900 at Wolve Spruit, where Sergeant Arthur Herbert Lindsay Richardson showed conspicuous bravery in rescuing a wounded man in face of a group of advancing Boers.
After the skirmish Adamson recommended Richardson for a Victoria Cross, which was awarded.
Adamson proved to be a natural leader, and was mentioned in dispatches.
He was one of the first to enter Machadodorp.

Adamson fell ill in November 1900 and was sent back to England to recover.
In March 1901, he was found unsuitable for further service and was sent back to Canada.
Unable to settle down, in late March 1902 Adamson petitioned for a command and was appointed a junior captain in the 6th Canadian Mounted Rifles.
By the time he returned to South Africa in May 1902 the war had ended. He wrote to his wife from Durban expressing his disappointment.
A few weeks later he was ordered to return home.

Later career

Adamson was unable to obtain a post as a regular officer in a British regiment after the war.
He also failed in an attempt at farming, and in 1903, the Adamsons returned to Canada.
In 1904, Grove Farm in Lakeview, Ontario, was granted to the Cawthras.
In 1905, Adamson left the Senate and moved to Toronto, where he became nominal head of the Canadian franchise of the Thornton-Smith Company, a British decorating firm.
His wife had established the franchise.

With the outbreak of World War I (1914–18) Adamson immediately went to Ottawa and volunteered to serve, despite his age of 48 and poor vision in one eye.
He used his connections to obtain a post as a captain in the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry, and reached England with this regiment in October 1914.
He wrote daily letters to his wife during his three years in the trenches. They give a vivid and honest account of his war experiences.
He was awarded the Distinguished Service Order for conspicuous bravery. He was wounded in the shoulder, but returned to his regiment in early 1916, and on 31 October 1916 was appointed regimental commander and promoted to lieutenant-colonel.
Under his leadership the regiment fought with distinction at Vimy Ridge and Passchendaele.

In 1917, Adamson caught trench fever and spent a week in hospital. Later he was back in hospital to recover from mustard gas. He was forced to wear a monocle to supplement his good eye, and even with that had difficulty moving around the trenches at night. He had to resign. He wrote to his wife "The brigadier was very nice about it. Whoever is in command should be full of health and youth." Adamson was 52 when he resigned his command. The stated reason was his wife's poor health, but the real reason was his own nervous exhaustion.

Last years

Adamson's wife, Mabel, had been helping in London and with civilian refugees behind the lines in Belgium when she became ill.
She soon recovered, but Adamson now became affected by posttraumatic stress disorder, causing depression and lack of judgement.

His marriage broke down, although there was no divorce.

Adamson returned to Canada in March 1919.

In 1919, Adamson designed and built a baronial mansion in the Belgian style at Lakeview, Ontario on land the Adamsons had been given as a wedding present.
In 1921 he went to live in France.
In October 1929, he was a passenger in an experimental airplane that crashed into the Irish sea. Adamson survived two hours in the bitterly cold water, but died a few weeks later on 21 November 1929 in London, England.

His son Agar Rodney Adamson (1901–1954) was federal member of Parliament for York West from 1940 to 1954.
His second son Anthony Patrick Cawthra Adamson (1906–2002) was an architect, associate professor of town planning at the University of Toronto, chairman of the Ontario Arts Council, designer of Upper Canada Village, and a member of the Order of Canada.

title: Yamba Drive

text:
Yamba Drive is a major arterial road in the southern suburbs of Canberra, the capital city of Australia. It is named after 'Yamba', a pastoral property established by the Eddison family in 1920 as part of the soldier settlement scheme which occupied the area prior to suburban development in the Woden Valley. The road forms part a major link between the Tuggeranong and Woden Valley districts, bypassing the Woden Town Centre and is an important access corridor for Canberra Hospital. Yamba Drive begins at a large roundabout north of the Woden Town Centre (the southern terminus of Yarra Glen). It continues south-east past the Woden Cemetery and Canberra Hospital to a major junction with Hindmarsh Drive, before passing between the residential suburbs of O'Malley, Mawson, Issacs and Farrer before terminating between the Issacs and Farrer ridges in the Canberra Nature Park. Beyond this point, the route continues as Erindale Drive into the suburbs of the Tuggeranong District.

title: Cuibul

text:
Cuibul are an acoustic funk band from Chisinau, Moldova. Igor Dinga, founder and initial vocalist of the band formed the band in 1991 as a rock'n'roll funk fusion band. The band released 6 albums from 1991-2001, and their musical style changed from rock'n'roll to acoustic mellow funk with chillout and Latino influences.

Cuibul is widely regarded as an important contributor to the Moldovan live music scene. They are the oldest band from Moldova which is currently active.

History

1990s
During their first 10 years, the band released 6 albums and 7 music videos. Cuibul's concert activity was most intense from 1991-1995 and between 1998-2001, when the album Po-mid'or (meaning "tomato" in Russian) was released. Throughout these years, Cuibul's activity geographically spread through Russia.

Igor Dinga is a Russian-speaking songwriter, also director of the Moldovan ethno-rock band Zdob și Zdub. The first two Cuibul albums were released together with the Moscow-based labels Feelee Records and CD Land Records. Despite the fact that the band's music was too experimental for the Russian mainstream market, some of the tracks proved successful. The singles "Muzika Letneaya" and "Igra v duraka" hit the MTV Russia TOP 20 charts and the music video for "Muzika Letneaya" was recognized among the 100 best Russian music videos of 1998. The single "Kolybelnaya" hit the rotation on popular radio stations such as Nashe Radio and Russkoe Radio, while the funky single "Pomidor" reached TOP 10 on Europa Plus. To continue the musical activity in Russia, the band members would have had to move to Moscow and promote themselves on the spot. However, the musicians were not ready for such a serious change. In addition, Russia faced a harsh financial crisis in 1998 and FEELEE Records minimized their activity and support.

2000s
In December 2001, Cuibul recorded and launched the album Klyuchi ot vannoy (trans: "Bathroom keys").

Between 2003 and 2008, the band was inactive.

In 2007, the saxophonist Igor Kosholyan returned to Moldova from the Netherlands and the drummer Vadim Tichisan returns from Bucharest, Romania. Because of this, Cuibul resumed their activity. For one year, the musicians rehearsed and searched for a new sound. The new format was composed of Igor Kosholyan as a guitar player, Vadim Tichisan for drums, Andrei Boico as the bass player and Igor Dinga as frontman guitarist and vocalist.
At the end of 2009, Cuibul launched 13 tracks under the album PRiZ (abbreviation for "Proshay i Zdrastvuy", meaning "Goodbye and Welcome"). In February 2010, Cuibul released a new music video for the album single "Proshay i Zdrastvuy", followed by a music video for "Ruchka Usilka" which featured a cameo of Muz-TV Russia's presenter Rita Chelmakova.

2010s
In 2010, Cuibul's concert activity was ongoing in Moldova, Russia and Ukraine. PRiZ was released in Russia together with the label Soyuz Music and in Ukraine with Hitlab/Moon Records.
In 2011, Cuibul toured through Western Europe. They also participated at the EuroSonic Festival in Groningen, Netherlands.

By the end of 2011, Cuibul released a new music video for the song "Nebo ne Voda", filmed in St. Petersburg together with the director Pavel Vladimirskyi. In December 2011, Cuibul celebrated their 20th anniversary through a grand concert starring guests such as Alexandr F. Sklyar, Serghei Galanin, Zorge, Zdob si Zdub, O Chad.

The rebirth of the band
The band planned to extend itself to the Romanian music market and Igor Dinga decided to search for a young female vocalist with Romanian language skills. After a long search, at the end of 2012 Lidia Scarlat joined Cuibul. She was a film producer and first class Media Arts graduate of the Royal Holloway, University of London.
Born into an artistic family, from her early years she participated successfully in various national and international music competitions. Lidia worked in radio and television, presenting the famous TV show for children “De la 5 la 10” at TeleRadio-Moldova. In her university years she was the lead singer of the university's Jazz Big Band. Lidia made her debut in Cuibul in late December 2012 at a Christmas concert of the band where she performed 4 songs. One week later, she sang for an audience of thousands of people at the New Year concert “I love Moscow”, held in the heart of the Russian capital.

The band was also joined by a new drummer – Jenea Berdea. Jenea had played in various bands, including ExNN, Alternosfera, Headswitch, Millenium, Gândul Mâței. Currently, he performs in some musical projects like All Four Seasons, Whynona Ryderz, Ramzes Project, Doll.

In 2013, Cuibul changed their sound, combining acoustic guitars, acoustic bass, violin, cajon and percussion. Lidia Scarlat chose the most suitable songs from the existing repertoire and adapted the lyrics in Romanian and English.  Lidia wrote the lyrics for the new single "Nu contează" in two versions : Romanian and English (the English version of the song is titled "Hello"). Lidia Scarlat performed a track list consisting of over 10 songs. The band's performances now feature two vocalists including Igori Dinga.

The new format of the legendary band received mixed feedback from its old fans while new audiences followed the rebirth of the band with great interest. The band got back on track with intense concert activity and performed at several international music festivals such as "Dikaya Myata" in Russia and "Folk You!" in Romania.

In summer 2013, the band released three videos from a studio acoustic session and started recording a new album.

On 4 December 2013 Cuibul opened the concert for the Swedish band The Cardigans in Moscow, at GlavClub.
On 1 March 2014 Cuibul opened for the British band Morcheeba at the same concert venue.
Both performances received excellent press feedback.
Before opening the concert for Morcheeba, Cuibul performed 7 songs at the art TV-show "Kozyrev Live" on Телеканал Дождь (TV Rain, Moscow).
In March 2014, Cuibul had the last recording session for the new album in Moscow and recorded the last three songs from the new album at the studio of Yurii Bogdanov.

In June 2014, Cuibul shot a music video  for "Nu Conteaza" in Bucharest, directed by Vlad Gliga.
Currently, the band is producing a new album, working on the newest version of their official website and preparing for the launch of the music video.

title: Switch Metrodecker

text:
The Switch Metrodecker (formerly known as the Optare MetroDecker) is an integral twin-axle double-decker bus produced by British bus manufacturer Switch Mobility since 2014. The bus bears resemblance to the Switch Metrocity, sharing similar interior and exterior features. The MetroDecker was designed as the successor to the Optare Olympus and Scania OmniDekka double-deckers, which were both discontinued in 2011, however unlike these, the MetroDecker is only available in integral form.

Switch Mobility, then known as Optare, initially aimed to have MetroDeckers in service in London by the end of 2014 and sales of over 100 MetroDeckers within eighteen months of launch; this did not occur, with no orders placed until June 2018.

Variants

Metrodecker
The Metrodecker was launched by Optare in 2014 initially with the 4 cylinder Euro VI Mercedes-Benz OM934LA engine with a 6-speed ZF EcoLife transmission fitted. The bus is built on an integral Optare chassis, making the bus lighter than its body-on-chassis predecessors.

In June 2018, Reading Buses placed the first order for five diesel Metrodeckers with high specification interiors for use on Green Line route 702, following a period of demonstration. Due to the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, Reading Buses cancelled the order in July 2020.

Three pre-production demonstrators were built by Optare for bus operators to trial around the United Kingdom. Two of these entered service with First South Yorkshire, Go North East and the NAT Group, and a demonstrator built to Transport for London specification commenced trials with Go-Ahead London in August 2016. None of these demonstration periods resulted in orders for the diesel Metrodecker.

Metrodecker EV

The Switch Metrodecker EV battery electric bus was launched in late 2015, complementing Optare's single decker range which already had battery electric variants. The battery supports 250 kW of power with an electric ZF AxTrax AVE powertrain, resulting in an electric range of .

The first Metrodecker order for a Transport for London operator came in 2019 when 31 Metrodecker EVs were delivered to Metroline for operation on route 134. 37 Metrodecker EVs were later delivered to Tower Transit in November 2020 for operation on routes 23 and C3, and Go-Ahead London ordered 17 Metrodecker EVs for delivery in May 2021 for operation on route 200.

In March 2019, First York ordered 21 Metrodecker EVs for the city's rebranded York Park & Ride operations. The first of these buses entered service from July 2020.

A hybrid-electric variant was announced by Optare during the initial launch of the Metrodecker in 2015, however no orders materialised.

A major fire in May 2022 that destroyed six buses at Metroline's Potters Bar garage, two of which were Metrodecker EVs, caused Switch Mobility to order all Metrodecker EVs to be taken out of service for safety precautions.

MetroDecker H2

The Optare MetroDecker H2 fuel cell bus was announced by Optare in partnership with Arcola Energy in April 2020. The MetroDecker H2 is based on existing EV platform, utilising Arcola's A-Drive hydrogen fuel cell electric powertrain with a claimed range of up to . Optare aims to establish an export market aimed at countries within a humid subtropical climate requiring use of air conditioning for the MetroDecker H2, however orders are yet to be placed by potential operators.

title: Wendjebauendjed

text:
Wendjebauendjed was an ancient Egyptian general, high dignitary and high priest during the reign of pharaoh Psusennes I of the 21st Dynasty. He is mainly known for his intact tomb found by Pierre Montet inside the royal necropolis of Tanis (NRT III).

Biography

Nothing is known about his life other than his occupations: Wendjebauendjed held an impressive list of military, administrative and religious titles, such as Hereditary prince, count, Seal-bearer of the King of Lower Egypt, God's father, General and Army leader, High steward (later High priest) of Khonsu, Priest of "Osiris lord of Mendes", Superintendent of the Prophets of all the gods and Superintendent of the Sole Friend.
The fact that Wendjebauendjed held such important offices granted him the great honor to be buried in the royal necropolis even though he was not a royal personage. According to one of his titles, it is possible that he was a native of Mendes (Djedet). His mummified remains shows that he was perhaps of Nubian descent and that he died around his fifties.

Discovery

The name Wendjebauendjed was initially found by Pierre Montet and Georges Goyon in 1939 carved on some statuettes and ushabtis found inside the newly discovered burial chamber of Shoshenq II. A year later, Montet discovered the burial chamber of Psusennes I where he found a golden hilt which belonged to Wendjebauendjed, placed on the king's sarcophagus.

After World War II, Montet and Goyon resumed the excavations and on 13 February 1946 they discovered a new, undisturbed burial chamber inside the same necropolis. A reused granite anthropoid sarcophagus, originally belonging to a Third priest of Amun called Amenhotep and datable to the 19th Dynasty, was found inside. The new owner was the same Wendjebauendjed named on the objects recovered from the nearby tombs before the war. For him the sarcophagus was covered by gold leaf, and inside it was a painted and gilded wooden coffin which in turn contained a silver coffin, both poorly preserved. Wendjebauendjed's face was covered by a golden mummy mask, and many other jewelry pieces were found inside the sarcophagus such as pectorals, rings, bracelets and gold statuettes; particularly remarkable are three fine bowls made from gold and silver, and a lapis lazuli statuette of Amun in his ram form. Outside the sarcophagus were also found many ushabtis and Wendjebauendjed's four canopic jars. All the funerary equipment is now in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo.

title: Kehillat Kernow

text:
Kehillat Kernow (The Jewish Community of Cornwall) is a Jewish community with about 100 members in Cornwall, England, associated with the Movement for Reform Judaism. Founded in 1999, its name is a combination of the Hebrew word kehillat (community) and the Cornish word Kernow, meaning Cornwall.

Services take place fortnightly  on Shabbat mornings at 10:30 and are held in a local school, with alternative venues for High Holidays and some festivals. They are led by members of the community and, occasionally, by visiting student rabbis from Leo Baeck College.

The community uses a Torah scroll on permanent loan from Exeter Synagogue and also one that it received from the Royal Cornwall Museum in Truro. The scroll was previously used by Falmouth Synagogue, which closed in 1882. It was officially handed over by the Duke of Gloucester to Kehillat Kernow at a ceremony in the Royal Cornwall Museum on 28 May 2004.

Education

The community runs a cheder for children and young people aged 2 to 15.

title: Lawrence Haward

text:
Lawrence Warrington Haward (7 August 1878 – 18 November 1957) was a noted art collector and writer who was the second Curator of the Manchester City Art Gallery (now the Manchester Art Gallery) from 1914 to 1945.

He was born in Westminster in London in 1878, the oldest son of Amy Cecilia née Nicholls (1857-1938) and John Warrington Haward (1842-1921), a surgeon. In October 1897 he was admitted to King's College, Cambridge, taking his B.A. in 1900 and gaining his M.A. in 1904. He was the Librarian at the University of London  (1905-6), and was on the musical staff of The Times (1906–14).

In 1914 Haward was appointed Curator of the Manchester Art Gallery having succeeded William Stanfield, the Gallery’s first Curator. Haward was to hold the post for over 30 years until his retirement in 1945. An "influential and astute collector", under Haward's direction the Gallery went through a period of great expansion which saw five new branch galleries opening across Manchester and the collection tripling in size. In addition, Haward was able to attract important gifts and bequests to the Gallery from noted collectors in the city or from others who had connections with Manchester.

These gifts included that of James Blair who in 1917 bequeathed a collection of paintings and watercolours, including an important collection of watercolours by Turner; also in 1917 Leicester Collier left the Gallery his collection of British and European porcelain, glass, paintings and prints of Old Masters. In 1922 Mary Greg gave about 2,000 items to the Gallery including her collection of 'Handicrafts of Bygone Times' as well as her collection of dolls and dolls’ houses. In 1923 Mary Greg further gifted to the Gallery her late husband Thomas Greg's collection of pottery from the Roman period to the early 19th-century which had been on loan to the Gallery since 1904. In 1920 Dr David Lloyd Roberts bequeathed his collection of paintings, watercolours, prints, silver and glass to the Gallery, while in 1934 John Yates bequeathed his extensive collection of jades, oriental ivories, enamels, antiquities and Victorian paintings.

In addition to these gifts, Haward bought contemporary art for the Gallery while in 1925 Charles Rutherston presented his modern art collection to the Gallery so that it could set up a loan service to local art colleges. In 1929 Haward was responsible for setting up the Industrial Art Collection, a collection of modern everyday objects designed to demonstrate the principles of good design. Before his retirement in 1945 Haward also obtained important art from both World Wars, thus creating one of the most important War Art collections outside London. Haward was a Trustee of the National Loan Collection Trust (1918–44) and was awarded the Honorary Degree of Master of Arts from the University of Manchester. In 1945 he launched a campaign to raise funds for the purchase of the extensive collection of husband and wife Cecil Willett Cunnington and Phillis Emily Cunnington. In 1947 their collection of costumes was acquired and the Gallery of Costume at Platt Hall was opened. Cecil Cunnington served as an Honorary Advisor to the collection.

On his retirement Haward moved to Switzerland. He died in November 1957 at the Evelyn Nursing Home in Cambridge and was cremated in that city.

title: Hendrik Swalmius

text:
Hendrik Swalmius (1577 – 1649), was a Dutch theologian known today for his portrait by Frans Hals.

Biography
He was born in Rhoon as the son of Hendrick van de Swalme, or Henricus Swalmius, who was probably born in Flanders and spent time in England before becoming preacher in Rhoon in 1580.  It was in Rhoon that he changed his name from Swalme to Swalmius. Swalmius the Elder had 4 sons:
 Arnoldus, who became a preacher in Westmaas, 's Gravesande
 Hendrik the younger, this Hendrik who married Judith van Breda in 1600 and became preacher of Oud-Alblas and later of the Grote Kerk, Haarlem in 1625
 Carel (1587-1640) who became a dike-reeve in IJzendijke
 Eleazar (1582-1652), who became a preacher in Amsterdam and was portrayed by Rembrandt (or someone in his studio).

In 1650 an engraving based on the Hals portrait of Hendrick was made by Suyderhoef stating he was  a preacher in Rhoon.

After his wife died he remarried in Haarlem in 1640 to IJfje Willems van Weert. He died in Haarlem in 1649.

title: Christ ist erstanden

text:
"Christ ist erstanden" (Christ is risen) is a German Easter hymn, and is possibly the oldest Christian liturgical German song. It has inspired the music of numerous composers, such as Ludwig Senfl and Heinrich Schütz (from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries respectively), as well as modern composers such as Oskar Gottlieb Blarr and Enjott Schneider, and has appeared in 45 hymnals, including the current German Catholic and Protestant hymnals. Translations and paraphrases include a version by Catherine Winkworth which has appeared in 231 hymnals. "Christ ist erstanden" also inspired Martin Luther to write "Christ lag in Todes Banden", deriving the melody from it.

History
"Christ ist erstanden" is possibly the oldest liturgical song in German. The first stanza was sung around 1100 to venerate the cross. It is mentioned in 1160 in an order of liturgy of the diocese of Salzburg, which is kept as the Codex MII6 at the library of the University of Salzburg; it is a Leise (a form of medieval church song), each verse ending with the word "Kyrieleis" (from the Greek "kyrie eleison", for "Lord have mercy").

The hymn tune, Zahn No. 8584, is derived from "Victimae paschali laudes", a sequence for Easter, by Wipo of Burgundy. The melody appeared in the Apel Codex, a manuscript from around 1500. From the 14th century, "Victimae paschali laudes" and "Christ ist erstanden" were sung alternatively. From the 15th century, different versions with several stanzas were in print. Martin Luther codified a version in three stanzas in 1529 and 1533 in Klug's hymnal, in which Luther changed the line "So freut sich alles, was da ist" (So everything living is glad), frequently used in older versions, to "So lobn wir den Vater Jesu Christ (So we praise the father of Jesus Christ), with an emphasis on Christology instead of universality. He also wrote his own paraphrase of "Victimae paschali laudes", "Christ lag in Todesbanden", published in 1524. Since then, it has been printed in German-language Protestant hymnals up to Evangelisches Gesangbuch (EG 99). It is also part of the current German-language Catholic hymnal Gotteslob (GL 318, 213 in the 1975 version), without Luther's alteration. The hymn has appeared in 45 hymnals.

Use by the Teutonic Order
According to historian William Urban, Ulrich von Jungingen's Teutonic Order troops sang "Christ ist erstanden", which he describes as "their anthem", before the Battle of Grunwald began.

At the siege of Kaunas
Wigand of Marburg's Chronica nova Prutenica (New Prussian Chronicle) reports that the Teutonic Order army sang "Christ ist erstanden" after overcoming the pagan Lithuanian defenders inside the walls of Kaunas Castle at the end of the siege of Kaunas:

"[...] Christians began to joyously sing in lingua vulgaris the glorious chant Christ ist erstanden whose ending can be translated as: 'all of us want to rejoice, all the pagans have been punished, kirieleison (in Latin: unde christiani ceperunt letanter cantare hoc laudabile carmen in vulgaris: 'Cristus surrexit', concludentes in vulgari: 'nos omnes volumus letari, pagani sunt in omni pena, kirieleison)."

Theodor Hirsch, in the edition of Chronica nova Prutenica he published in Scriptores Rerum Prussicarum hypothesizes in a footnote about the original Middle High German lyric, which did not survive: "Wigands Verse lauteten wohl: wir alle wellen vrôlich sin – di heiden sint in allem pin." ("Wigand's verse probably read: [...].")

Johannes Voigt's earlier Geschichte Preußens von den ältesten Zeiten bis zum Untergange der Herrschaft des Deutschen Ordens translates Wigand's Latin lyric into modern German as "Wir wollen alle fröhlich seyn, die Heiden sind in aller Pein". Drawing on Wigand, Voigt writes that while the ruins of the castle were still burning brightly, the Christian army, full of the joy of victory, began to sing the song of praise "Christ ist erstanden".

Derived hymns
Michael Weisse, a minister of the Bohemian Brethren, wrote a hymn "Christ ist erstanden" in seven stanzas, using the same melody. Catherine Winkworth translated that hymn to "Christ the Lord Is Risen Again!", published in 1858, which has appeared in 231 hymnals.

Text

 Christ ist erstanden
 von der Marter alle!
 Des solln wir alle froh sein,
 Christ soll unser Trost sein.
 Kyrioleis.

 Wär er nicht erstanden,
 so wär die Welt vergangen.
 Seit daß er erstanden ist,
 so freut sich alles, was da ist.
 Kyrioleis.

 Alleluja,
 alleluja,
 alleluja!
 Des solln wir alle froh sein,
 Christ soll unser Trost sein.
 Kyrioleis.

Musical settings

Ludwig Senfl composed a setting for six voices in the 15th century. Heinrich Schütz wrote Christ ist erstanden, a setting for three vocal choirs, a choir of trombones and a choir of viols. Bach used the final stanza of the hymn to conclude his Easter cantata Erfreut euch, ihr Herzen, BWV 66. He also employed the hymn for the chorale prelude BWV 627 of his Orgelbüchlein.

Max Reger set the hymn in 1900 for seven-part choir (SSAATTB) a cappella and included it as No. 8 in his Zwölf deutsche geistliche Gesänge (Twelve German sacred songs), WoO VI/13, named "Ein alt' Lob- und Freudenlied von der Urstend unsers lieben Herrn Christi" (An old song of praise and joy of the resurrection of our dear Lord Christ). Settings from the 20th century include organ works by Oskar Gottlieb Blarr and Hermann Schroeder. Enjott Schneider composed a setting for four-part choir with optional organ in 2012.

title: José María Viesca

text:
José María Viesca y Montes (1787–1856) was a lawyer and Mexican politician aligned with federalist ideology, who served as Governor of Coahuila and Texas (1827–1830). His brother, Agustín Viesca, took over the role of governor in 1835.

Early life
Viesca y Montes was born in Villa de Santa María de las Parras, Coahuila. He had at least one brother, Agustín Viesca. He was the uncle of former governor of Coahuila Andrés S. Viesca Bagües and was Regidor of the City of Parras.

Career
Like his brother, Agustín, he joined Plan of Iguala on , but his signature was not recorded in the minutes because of his absence.

He was a member of the delegation of the Internal State East during the Constitutional Convention from 1823 to 1824 and a member of the legislature of Coahuila and Texas in 1824. Later, he was elected governor of Coahuila and Texas, which he held between  and . In 1833 he was senator in the same state.

In 1835, he opposed the centralist regime of Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna and Texas Independence, but he found little support for his federalist ideology. He was elected deputy for the state of Coahuila until the Constituent Congress of 1856. However, sickness prevented him from attending the conference, and he died the same year.

Legacy
To commemorate both Viesca and Mexican President Anastasio Bustamante, the town of Alamo de Parras, in Coahuila, was named San José de Viesca and Bustamante. The town is now known as Viesca.

title: Joel Kline

text:
Joel Kline  (born 1939) is an American real estate speculator who testified against several prominent Maryland politicians, and subsequently entered one of Maryland's longest bankruptcy proceedings.

Kline employed a method of using public stock offerings to finance speculative land development deals. The stock purchases and land purchases were also funded by a series of loans secured by close-tied investors which included Maryland Roads Commissioner Walter Bucher, Agnew aide J. Walter Jones, Lester Matz, United States Senator Mike Gravel, Gerald Freeman, and insuranceman Maury Young.

In 1969, Maryland Governor Marvin Mandel appointed Kline to The Maryland Industrial Development Financing Authority, an agency to distribute loans for public-private development projects. In 1971, Governor Mandel proposed Kline to a board investigating state banks, then filled the position of Maryland Banking Commissioner. In November, Lt. Governor Blair Lee III had to repay $25,00 in loans and $9,000 in expenses from using the personal office of Kline during his 1970 campaign. The publication of the questionable ties to loans caused Kline to lose his position as banking commissioner. Kline had also contributed maximum amounts to Lee through his interests in Prince Georges Land Investment and Development Inc, Penn Metal Fabricators, and Montgomery Land Investment and Development Inc. Lee acquired the finances to repay the loans through Kline-owned firms, and Leonard Blondes, who was indicted for bribery and conspiracy.

According to an SEC investigation in 1972, Kline was taking out large poorly secured loans from the American National Bank of Maryland and Madison National Bank to pay off other loan debts.

Kline claimed to have redirected money to Spiro Agnew when he was the Governor of Maryland, and to Baltimore County Executive Dale Anderson, in exchange for political favors. Maryland Attorney General Stephen Sachs gave Kline immunity from criminal prosecution in exchange for information that assisted the investigation of Spiro Agnew, who would resign in 1973. Kline served four months of a six-month sentence in a prison in Allenwood, Pennsylvania, for conspiracy to obstruct justice, and was frequently held with Watergate witnesses at Fort Holabird for interrogations to provide testimony.

In 1974, Joel Kline, Eric Adolph Baer and Donald Harrison Abrams were indicted in connection with their efforts to obstruct the SEC investigation into price manipulation of over-the-counter stocks of Penn Metal Fabrications, Inc., U.S. Vinyl Corp. and Montgomery Land Investment and Development Corporation. The commission noted attempts to convince false testimony and destruction of evidence. Kline was sentenced to 20 months in jail and a $10,000 fine.

Kline operated land holding partnerships across Maryland. Some included the Prince Georges Land Development and Investment Company, Rte. 108 Property Partnership in Howard County, and the Victory Farm in Gaithersburg. Lawyers and trustees Eugene M Feinnblatt and Lawrence D. Coppel spent 19 years pursuing assets of Kline in bankruptcy court after the judge declared there were no assets to return to creditors. In June 1992, Kline was indicted for tax fraud in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

In 1977, Kline and three other World Trade Center architects, Irving Gershon, Howard Lazar, and Sy J. Miller, testified again under immunity for funneling money in an early 1970s tax evasion scheme involving New York Architect Leo Kornblath and Xaviera Hollander.

Curraheen Park Greyhound Stadium is a greyhound racing track located in Bishopstown, west of Cork, County Cork, Ireland.

Racing takes place every Thursday, Friday and Saturday evening and the facilities include the grandstand Laurels restaurant, fast food facilities, a number of bars, totalisator betting and ample seating.

Race distances are 330, 525, 550, 575, and 750 yards and the feature competitions at the track is the Laurels.

History
Curraheen Park Greyhound Stadium is situated to the west of Cork on the Curraheen Road in Bishopstown. The track opened in the year 2000 as a replacement for the previous track the Cork (Western Road) Greyhound Stadium which is now the Western Gateway Building (science building of the University College Cork). The stadium is a third generation Cork Greyhound Stadium with the first two being The Show Grounds Greyhound Track (1928-1935) and then the previously mentioned Western Road stadium (1936-1996).

The sale of the old track enabled the Bord na gCon to fund a new stadium with modern facilities).
The new stadium opened on 8 April 2000 costing IR£8.5 million and included a wonderful glass fronted grandstand as the centrepiece (the glass alone cost IR£400,000). The new track offered distances of 330, 525, 550, 575 & 700 yards and the long serving Noel Holland remained as the Racing Manager but would retire in 2004.
The Laurels remains the primary competition held at the track and since 2000 winners have included Sonic Flight, Ardkill Jamie and Razldazl Rioga.

Following the closure of Harolds Cross in 2017 the Grand National was brought to the track.

title: Nord's 5th constituency

text:
The 5th constituency of the Nord is a French legislative constituency in the Nord département.

Description

Nord's 5th constituency lies in the centre of the department to the south of Lille. The main town is Seclin which is still part of the Métropole Européenne de Lille but this left leaning town is outweighed by the more conservative surrounding areas.

Despite 40 years of uninterrupted Socialist Party control between 1962 and 2002, the seat turned right in the 21st centuries, and was held by the conservative UMP or Republicans between 2002 and 2022, before being won by the far-right RN.

title: Lublinians

text:
The Lublinians (Polish: Lubliniacy) are a subethnic group of the Polish people, who reside in the historic region of Lesser Poland, in the area of the city of Lublin. They use their own dialect, which belongs to the Lesser Poland dialect of the Polish language. Like most Poles, the Lubliniacy are Roman Catholics.

Polish linguist Jan Stanislaw Bystron claimed that the Lubliniacy should be regarded as a group that belongs to the region of Kresy Wschodnie (Eastern Borderlands), as they resided in areas which had previously been inhabited by Eastern Slavs. Furthermore, the Lubliniacy were under influence of neighboring province of Mazovia. Examples of local architecture and other artefacts are kept at the Museum of Lublin Village in Lublin.

Polish ethnographer Janusz Kamocki divided the Lubliniacy into the following subgroups:
 Powisle Lubelskie, along the Vistula river, which has been under strong influence of the neighboring Mazovia,
 Bilgoraj, which is strongly tied to the Lesser Poland traditions
 Zamosc, residing outside the area of historic Lesser Poland, but belonging to its cultural circle. Peasants of former Zamoyski Family Fee Tail emphasize their difference,
 Central, around Lublin.

title: Cracovians (ethnic group)

text:
Cracovians (Polish: Krakowiacy) are an ethnographic subgroup of the Polish nation, who resides in the historic region of Lesser Poland around the city of Kraków. They use their own dialect, which belongs to the Lesser Polish dialect cluster of the Polish language, and are mostly Roman Catholic.

The Cracovians are divided into two geographic subgroups, the Eastern Cracovians who inhabit the areas east of Kraków from Jędrzejów and Miechów to Tarnów, and the Western Cracovians who reside west of Kraków — their traditional dress is considered to be the quintessential Kraków folk costume (stroj krakowski).

In the south (north of the Gorals), the extent of the Cracovians reaches the line marked by the towns of Bielsko-Biała, Wadowice, Kalwaria Zebrzydowska, Myślenice, Lipnica Murowana and Tarnów. In the east, the boundary between the Krakowiacy and the Sandomierzacy is not well established, reaching as far as Tarnów and Połaniec. In the west, the Cracovians reaches the Przemsza river, which has for centuries marked the border between Lesser Poland and Silesia. In the north, they reach the line marked by Częstochowa and Kielce.

The folklore of the Cracovians inspired several Polish artists, especially in the Young Poland period. Furthermore, Wojciech Bogusławski's "Krakowiacy i Gorale", regarded as the first Polish national opera, premiered in Warsaw on 1 March 1794.

title: Sandomierzans

text:
The Sandomierzacy are a subethnic group of the Polish nation, who reside in the historic province of Lesser Poland, around the town of Sandomierz. They use their own dialect, which belongs to Lesser Polish dialect of the Polish language. Like most Poles, the Sandomierzacy are Roman Catholics.

The Sandomierzacy proper reside along the left bank of the Vistula river, reaching Ilza and Skaryszew in the north, and Checiny in the west. They also live southeast of Sandomierz, in former Austrian Galicia. Together with the Krakowiacy, the Sandomierzacy are the oldest ethnic group of Lesser Poland. In the 19th century, when Lesser Poland was for over 100 years divided between the Habsburg Empire and the Russian Empire, the Sandomierzacy were under the influence of Mazovia, which resulted in several changes, mostly in their traditional clothing.

Borowiacy Sandomierscy
The Borowiacy sandomierscy is a small subethnic group of Sandomierzacy, which resides along right bank of the San river, in forested areas of Janow Lubelski.

Posaniacy
The Posaniacy is another subethnicy group of the Sandomierzacy. They inhabited the Sandomierz Forest, and in the 19th century, most of them settled in forests around Radom.

title: Power sector of Andhra Pradesh

text:
Power sector of Andhra Pradesh is divided into 4 categories namely Regulation, Generation, Transmission and Distribution. Andhra Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission (APERC) is the regulatory body. APGENCO deals with the electricity production and also maintenance, proposes new projects and upgrades existing ones as well. The APGENCO also set up a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV), named as Andhra Pradesh Power Development Company Limited (APPDCL), a joint venture company of APGENCO (with 50% equity) and IL&FS (50% equity) to set up Krishnapatanam thermal power project (2x800 MW).

APTRANSCO is set up for transmission of power. Power distribution in the state is divided into three divisions, namely Eastern Power Distribution Corporation Limited (APEPDCL), Central Power Distribution Corporation Limited (APCPDCL) and Southern Power Distribution Corporation Limited (APSPDCL), which distributes the power to the households, agriculture and the industries. APGENCO, APPDCL, NTPC and other private firms contribute to the generation of power in the state of Andhra Pradesh. Andhra Pradesh has become the second state in India to achieve 100% electrification of all households.  Weighted average cost of power generation and purchases is INR 3.45 per kWh which is highest in the country. Andhra Pradesh is also leader by installing 433 nos electric vehicle charging stations (EVCS) out of 927 nos installed in the entire country as on 30 June 2020.

Under the program of installing 500 GW capacity of renewable power capacity by 2030, nearly 59 GW (25%) of solar and wind power is identified out of 236.58 GW in three districts of the state.

The newly formed Andhra Pradesh Green Energy Corporation Limited (APGECL), a 100% subsidiary of APGENCO, will be the trading agency/licensee for the 10 GW solar project in a phased manner and for connecting it to the grid. The 10 GW solar projects would be used to meet the entire agriculture power consumption which will be met during the day time for nine hours duration daily. Andhra Pradesh is also leading in installation of solar power /off grid agriculture pump sets. A renewable energy export policy for Andhra Pradesh was also announced to facilitate the setting up of 120 GW solar, wind and solar-wind hybrid energy parks by using 0.5 million acres of land. New & Renewable Energy Development Corporation of Andhra Pradesh (NREDCAP), a state owned company, is actively involved in promoting renewable energy projects in the state. Roof top solar power cost/unit in the state are falling below the domestic power tariff.

The total installed utility power generation capacity is nearly 24,854 MW in the state as of 31 March 2020  APtransCo has made long term power purchase agreements for 19,068 MW as of 31 March 2019. The per capita electricity consumption is 1234 units with 63,143 million KWh gross electricity supplied in the year 2018–19. The performance of Krishnapatanam thermal power station (2X800 MW) with super critical pressure technology is not satisfactory even after one year commercial operation as the units rarely operate at rated capacity forcing the state to purchase costly power from day ahead trading in IEX.

Short term power purchases
APDisComs purchase regularly from the energy exchange, etc. to meet the peak load and energy shortages. As the power purchases/sales are done on daily basis without proper planning and optimum utilization of APGENCO power generation capacity, APERC has given guidelines to the DisComs for implementation while making short term (less than one year duration) purchases and sales in the year 2022.

Non-renewable

Thermal power

Thermal power plants are based on the fuel coal, gas, diesel etc. Public sector undertaking NTPC, state level power generating companies and private firms are engaged in this sector for power generation.

Currently operating coal based thermal power plants in Andhra Pradesh are listed below.

Gas fuel-based

The following are the list of presently installed combined cycle gas turbine power plants and diesel engine power plants in the state. However many of these power plants are not operating due to non-availability of natural gas and high cost of liquid fuels.

Renewable

Hydroelectric
This is the list of major hydroelectric power plants in Andhra Pradesh.

Pumped storage hydroelectricity projects
Pumped hydroelectric energy storage (PHES) projects with high water head are the cheap means of converting intermittent renewable power generation sources like solar PV or wind power in to base load supply for round the clock needs throughout the year. AP state is endowed with vast PHES potential adequate to utilise its vast solar PV power generation potential (above 1,000,000 MW installed on 16,000 km2 marginal lands) to meet ultimate green energy requirements of its peak population (60 million). AP is considering on a major scale to install PHES projects to make available the surplus wind / solar power during the peak load hours. PHESs also generate income, in addition to hydroelectricity cess/royalty, to the state in the form of water use charges at commercial rates for the evaporation loss or consumptive water from the reservoirs. The area occupied by the high head PHES is less than the area occupied by the equivalent battery energy storage system (BESS) housed in a three storied building. High head PHES installation cost (< US$40 per KWh in a day) is less than the cost of land and buildings required to house the equivalent BESS. PHES are more suitable in India where energy and water storage needs are complementary. Unlike the static BESS, the rotating turbo-generator of a PHES will enhance dynamic inertia (GD2) of the grid which contributes to a stable grid to ride through the power disturbances when power generation in the grid is dominated by the static solar PV power. Variable speed PHES plants also deliver the power grid ancillary services. In high head PHES, unlined pressure tunnels/shafts are constructed to the extent feasible for reducing construction cost.

The water reservoir of a PHES is created by building embankment dams wherever required up to the required height and length. The rock required for building the dams is excavated from the reservoir area. Cheaper drilling and blasting method is extensively used deploying state of the art earth moving equipment because huge quantity of rock excavation is required for the construction of the rock-fill dams.

Polavaram right bank PHES:
A 103,000 MW PHES project is under investigation with an upper reservoir, located near Parantapalle hamlet in West Godavari district, with 90 tmcft live storage at 700 m msl full reservoir level (FRL). The turkey-nest type upper reservoir is 18 km long from north to south and 1.1 km wide and its water surface area is 16 km2 with 200 m water depth and nearly 90 tmcft live storage. The adjacent Polavaram reservoir at FRL 45 m msl with 194 tmcft gross storage is the lower reservoir as perennial water source. The average water head available is 600 m with a provision to draw 33 tmcft/day from the Polavaram reservoir by the PHES units located in semi open or underground power houses. To run the PHES on daily basis, the lower reservoir is to be kept empty by 33 tmcft  below its FRL for holding the water released by PHES in generation mode. Another 33 tmcft is used to compensate the loss of storage capacity in the lower reservoir. This buffer storage is released in to lower reservoir for irrigation, etc. needs once in a year at the end of monsoon year and it is replenished at the earliest from the flood water inflows into the lower reservoir. Also seepage and evaporation losses from the upper reservoir are met from the buffer storage sourced from flood waters and not drawn from the lower reservoir storage. The excess buffer storage maintained in this upper reservoir can also serve up to 24 tmcft for other PHESs in the state which are using Godavari basin water and have no buffer storage of their own (ex: Jalaput PHES). The upper reservoir can be further expanded by 3.5 km length on its south side to enhance the live / buffer storage substantially. The PHES project can produce 412 billion KWh at 4000 hours/year or 12 hours/day operation in generation mode by consuming the surplus power generated from the solar and wind power plants during the day time. This PHES can also moderate the severe floods by utilizing empty volume kept in the lower reservoir or operating in pump mode (maximum 7.63 lakh cusecs) to fill the upper reservoir. In case of emergency / repairs, the entire water storage in the upper reservoir can be emptied safely into the lower reservoir / river within 24 hours by running the PHES in generation mode.

Srisailam right bank PHES:
A 77,000 MW PHES project is feasible with an upper reservoir, located on the right bank side within 1000 m distance of Srisailam reservoir, with 87 tmcft live storage at 650 m msl FRL. The reservoir bunds are constructed on 500 m msl contour line by 155 m high and the water surface area of the upper reservoir is nearly 20 km2. The adjacent Srisailam reservoir at FRL 270 m msl  with 185 tmcft live storage is the lower reservoir with perennial water source. The average water head available is 340 m with provision to draw water from the Srisailam reservoir by the PHES units located in semi open or underground power houses. The PHES project can produce 308 billion KWh at 4000 hours/year or 12 hours/day operation in generation mode.  Only 43.5 tmcft (50%) reservoir storage is used for power generation on daily basis and the remaining half kept as buffer storage to compensate the loss of storage in downstream  reservoir due to PHES by releasing water once in a year in to the Srisailam reservoir to meet irrigation water requirements. The buffer storage is replenished later at the earliest during the monsoon/floods. This PHES can also moderate the severe floods by utilizing empty volume kept in the lower reservoir or operating in pump mode (maximum 10 lakh cusecs) to fill the upper reservoir.

Feasible PHES projects

Notes: Power potential (MW) is in generation mode, MDDL→ Minimum Draw Down Level or lowest bed level of the reservoir, FRL→ Full Reservoir Level, m msl→ meters above mean sea level. The total water storage includes nearly 432 tmcft of irrigation components. PHES water storage is 793 tmcft only. The PHES land requirement is nearly 1% of the land required (41,250 km2) for equivalent electricity generation by Solar PV power plants. The power potential doubles in case of pumping operation for six hours in a day for the same water storage.

Solar

The state is endowed with vast photovoltaic power potential on its marginally productive lands. The state has total installed solar power capacity of 4,116.01 MW as of 30 June 2021.

The state is planning to add 10,050 MW solar power capacity to provide power supply to farming sector during the day time. Out of 10,050 MW, 6,400 MW capacity at 10 sites were offered for bidding. The winning tariffs are Rs 2.50 per unit which are at least 25% more than the earlier awarded tariffs of Rs 2 per unit in November 2020 even after reducing scope of work (no HV transmission line construction outside the solar park), state providing the land on lease, giving state guarantee for the timely payment for the power sold, allowing the state guarantee as security to get financial assistance at lower interest rates, disregarding higher solar power potential at these sites compared to Western and northern regions, etc. The AP high court has stayed the award of contracts to the successful bidders on the grounds that these contracts are excluded from the jurisdiction of APERC in contravention of the electricity act, 2003.

The state has offered five Ultra Mega Solar Power Projects with a total capacity of 12,200 MW to developers under renewable power export policy outside the state.

Wind power

The state has total installed wind power capacity of 4,083.57 MW as on 30 June 2021.

Other utility power plants
In addition to above projects, there are nearly 103 MW small Hydro plants, nearly 490 MW bagasse, industrial & municipal waste, bio-mass co-generation,
& bio-mass based power projects, nearly 78.79 mini power plants (grid connected) and nearly 67.20 MW other (grid connected) plants based on isolated gas wells, etc. in private sector. These power plants are not covering captive power capacity in various industries that are not grid connected. In addition, there are innumerable diesel generator sets installed in the state for stand by supply and emergency power supply needs during power outages.

Transmission system

The state has well spread transmission system. APTransCo / DisComs owned and operated transmission lines from 400 kV to 11 kV is 231,127 circuit kilometers excluding the HT lines owned and operated by PGCIL in the state. For importing and exporting power, the state grid is well interconnected with adjoining western and eastern regional grids in addition to adjoining state grids. The spread of high voltage transmission lines (≥ 11 kV) is such that it can form a square matrix of area 1.93 km2 (i.e. on average, at least one HT line within 0.7 km vicinity) in 160,205 km2 total area of the state. DisComs owned and operated LT lines (below 11 kV) are 292,158 circuit kilometers. It represents that there is at least one HT or LT line availability on average within the vicinity of 306 meters in the entire state area. The state has 3183 nos substations (≥ 33 kV) which represents one substation in every 50.33 km2 area on average (i.e. one substation with in 3.6 km distance on average). However the maximum peak load met is 9,453 MW as of 14 October 2018. Huge installed capacity of the transmission network and the substations are being underutilized with low demand factor.
