title: Proposed dams in the Kaliwa River watershed

text:
Several bulk water supply projects on the upper portion of the Kaliwa River Watershed have been proposed by the Philippine Government since the 1970s, with the intent of relieving Metro Manila of its overdependence on the water supplied by Angat Dam. Most of these have focused on a particular site in Barangay Laiban in Tanay, Rizal, on the upper portion of the Kaliwa River Watershed to which the Laiban Dam belongs, and the projects have thus often been referred to as Laiban dam or Kaliwa dam, although multiple projects have been referred to using either name.

Due to controversies regarding the project's environmental impact and its potential effect on local communities, notably including a community of Remontado Dumagat people who consider the area part of their ancestral lands, these projects have been controversial and have thus been alternatingly approved, deferred, cancelled, and reapproved by the Philippine Government at different times since the late 1970s.

Proposed dam sites
Dams have been proposed on two separate locations within the Kaliwa River watershed: one upstream in Tanay, Rizal, which is sometimes called the "Laiban Dam", and another Downstream, in Quezon Province.  Both have been referred to as the Kaliwa Dam, but since 2012, the Quezon site is the one disitinguished as "Kaliwa Dam" when the two sites are both being discussed.

The Kaliwa Watershed
The Kaliwa Watershed forms part of the Sierra Madre Biodiversity Corridor (SMBC), and has been identified  by the Southern Sierra Madre Wildlife Center of the Environmental Studies Institute of Miriam College as one of the SMBC's 14 priority biodiversity conservation sites. It is described as "an important wildlife habitat that contains dipterocarp trees, a wide array of birds, mammals, amphibians and reptiles, some of which are threatened and endemic species."

In 1999 the Kaliwa Watershed, evaluated at the time as "degraded due to anthropogenic pressures", was classified as a protected area under the National Integrated Protected Areas System.

The terrain is generally mountainous, surrounded by slopes > 50%, consisting partly of forested hills and partly of cultivated land, with some slash and burn cultivation (kaingin) areas present.  Its elevation is from 220 masl (meters above sea level) to 1,530 masl. A number of small creeks run through the lower slopes, all eventually connecting to the main river.

The Laiban sub-watershed site in Tanay, Rizal
The Laiban site where the project is supposed to be built is a Barangay of municipality of Tanay in the province of Rizal, east of Metro Manila.  It contains he 180 ha Laiban sub-watershed, a microbasin of the bigger Kaliwa Watershed, nestled in the southeastern portion of the  Sierra Madre Mountain Range.

Barangays on the site also serve as home to the indigenous Remontado Dumagats.

Downstream site in Quezon Province
The other proposed site for the dam and reservoir is further east and downstream on the east-flowing Kaliwa river, located in the Barangays of Pagsanjan in the town of General Nakar and Magsaysay in the town of Infanta.  Proposals for the construction of this downstream dam still involves the placement of conveyance tunnels and reservoir areas in the upstream Tanay, Rizal site.

Previously discontinued proposals

Manila Water Supply III project during the Marcos administration
The history of projects on the Kaliwa River watershed began with the conception of the Manila Water Supply III project in November 1979 during the administration of President Ferdinand Marcos. However, instructed the MWSS to look for alternative sites. The MWSS identified the Kaliwa River basin to be the most viable alternative, and began the first World Bank feasibility study on the damming of the Kaliwa river in 1979.

During that time, however, the Philippine economy had gone into rapid decline because Marcos' debt driven deficit spending made the Philippines vulnerable when the United States increased its interest rates in the third quarter of 1981.  The ensuing collapse of the Philippine economy, worsened by the political pressure after the assassination of Benigno Aquino, led to slow development of the Laiban dam project until Marcos was forced out of office and into exile by the 1986 People Power Revolution.

By 1989, the succeeding administration of Corazon Aquino reviewed the project and determined that costs had ballooned so high that the project had to be shelved.

Proposals during the Ramos and Arroyo administrations
After the administration of President Fidel Ramos took over in 1992, it continued conducting studies for the development of a Kaliwa dam, but these remained just proposals as the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System was privatized, and concessionaires Manila Water and Maynilad took over the servicing of water in the National Capital Region.

In 2007, the administration of Gloria Macapagal Arroyo was able to get funding for Laiban Dam approved. However, the ZTE broadband scandal forced the project to be shelved.

2009 San Miguel Corporation proposal
In 2009, San Miguel Corporation submitted an unsolicited proposal for the building of a dam in Laiban, but public opinion at the thought of higher water rates led to the project once again being shelved in 2010.

2009 Kaliwa Intake Weir proposal
Also in 2009, Osaka-based Japanese company Global Utility Development Corporation submitted an unsolicited proposal for what was called the Kaliwa Intake Weir Project, which would have seen the creation of a 7-meter, 550 MLD Weir at the Kaliwa site, instead of a dam. At the instructions of President Aquino, this proposal was explored again in 2017, after the approval of the New Centennial Water Source-Kaliwa Dam Project by NEDA

2012 Kaliwa Low Dam proposal

The New Centennial Water Source-Kaliwa Dam Project was a water project proposed by the Philippine Government in 2012, whose main component was the construction of the Kaliwa Low Dam in Tanay, Rizal, as well as a water supply tunnel, and the attendant infrastructure for these structures.  The proposed Kaliwa Low Dam design had a 600 million-liters-a-day (MLD) capacity, and the water supply tunnel has a 2,400-MLD capacity.   Had it been built, the Kaliwa Low Dam was expected to ease the demand on the Angat Dam, Manila's sole water storage facility.

In 2015, two consortia were pre-qualified to bid for the undertaking of the Kaliwa Dam project — the SMC-K Water Consortium, which is a partnership between San Miguel Holdings Corp. and Korea Water Resources Corp.; and the Abeima-Datem Consortium, which is a partnership between Albeinsa Infraestructura Medio Ambiento S.A and Datem Inc.

When the project had not moved forward by the time Aquino administration ended, the succeeding Duterte administration decided not to pursue the Kaliwa Low Dam plan. The administration pursued a bigger dam instead, with funds to be obtained through an official development assistance from China.

2012 Laiban Low Dam proposal (NCWSP Phase 2)
A second dam further upstream, named Laiban dam, was also proposed under the 2012 version of the NCWS-Kaliwa Dam Project, as part of a larger, integrated system.  The proposed system was intended to be built in stages, with the approval of Laiban Dam subject to the success of the Kaliwa Low Dam. As a result, only stage one, involving Kaliwa Low Dam its attendant the water supply tunnel, were actually approved for construction during the administration of Benigno Aquino III. The dam would not be included in the new NCWS plan under the succeeding administration.

Ongoing MWSS-CEEC dam project
A new proposal under the administration of President Rodrigo Duterte, would replace the 2012 proposal with a full-sized dam, which would be negotiated using bilateral agreements. However, the project would continue to use the name "New Centennial Water Source-Kaliwa Dam Project."

Various leftist, indigenous peoples, and environmental groups have voiced concerns regarding the project, with some alleging that the government bypassed various social and environmental regulations to complete the dam within the current administration. Proponents of the dam state that the project would bring various security and tourism benefits, while alleviating the water shortage in Metro Manila.

The dam was originally proposed to be built at the Laiban Dam site in Tanay, Rizal, but was later disapproved because a dam in Tanay would submerge a larger area. The site downstream in Quezon Province was approved instead, with the areas in Tanay and Teresa becoming sites for the upstream reservoir and conveyance tunnels instead.

Construction
The tunnel boring machines for the dam were revealed on June 2, 2021. The project had its groundbreaking on June 29, 2021. Excavation works for the dam is scheduled to begin in December 2021, to be done by a joint venture of MWSS and China Energy Engineering Corporation (CEEC).

title: Garnet Menzies

text:
Garnet Nelson Menzies (ca 1886 – February 18, 1966) was a politician in Saskatchewan, Canada. He served as mayor of Regina from 1949 to 1951.

The son of CPR Engineer Peter Whyte Menzies (1854-1926), he was born in Farnham Quebec and came to Regina in 1914, working as a printer for the Regina Leader-Post. He went on to work for Commercial Printers for approximately 30 years. He also served as president for the Regina Typographical Union. In 1916, he married Jean McClelland, who had been a deaconess of the Presbyterian Church in Canada up until then, but she was "disjoined" because only single women could be members of the deaconess order.

Menzies served on Regina city council for most of the years between 1931 and 1948. In 1943, he ran unsuccessfully for the position of mayor, losing to Charles Cromwell Williams. When subsequently elected Mayor (1949-1951) he welcomed Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip to City Hall during their 1951 Tour of Canada. Garnet had four brothers and one sister; his younger brother Albert Percival ("Percy") Menzies (1888-1948) was for a time a Presbyterian minister in Regina and notably distinguished himself at the Battle of Vimy Ridge.

Menzies ran unsuccessfully for the Regina City seat in the provincial assembly in 1934 and again in 1952. He died on February 18, 1966, in Saskatoon while visiting his daughter there.

Menzies Place in Regina was named in his honour.

title: Paderborn (electoral district)

text:
Paderborn is an electoral constituency (German: Wahlkreis) represented in the Bundestag. It elects one member via first-past-the-post voting. Under the current constituency numbering system, it is designated as constituency 137. It is located in eastern North Rhine-Westphalia, comprising the Paderborn district.

Paderborn was created for the inaugural 1949 federal election. Since 2009, it has been represented by Carsten Linnemann of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU).

Geography
Paderborn is located in eastern North Rhine-Westphalia. As of the 2021 federal election, it is coterminous with the Paderborn district.

History
Paderborn was created in 1949, then known as Paderborn – Wiedenbrück. From 1980 through 2009, it was named Paderborn. In 2013 and 2017, it was named Paderborn – Gütersloh III. From the 2021 election, it has again been named Paderborn. In the 1949 election, it was North Rhine-Westphalia constituency 45 in the numbering system. From 1953 through 1961, it was number 104. From 1965 through 1976, it was number 106. From 1980 through 1998, it was number 107. From 2002 through 2009, it was number 138. Since 2013, it has been number 137.

Originally, the constituency comprised the districts of Paderborn and Wiedenbrück. From 1965 through 1976, it comprised the Padern and Wiedenbrück districts without the municipality of Gütersloh. From 1980 through 2002, it was coterminous with the Padern district. In 2013 and 2017, it also contained the municipality of Schloß Holte-Stukenbrock from the Gütersloh district. Ahead of the 2021 election, Schloß Holte-Stukenbrock was transferred away from the constituency, and it has again been coterminous with the Paderborn district.

Members
Due to Paderborn being strongly Catholic, the constituency is considered a safe seat for Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and has been held continuously by them since its creation. It was first represented by Maria Niggemeyer from 1949 to 1957, followed by Rainer Barzel until 1980. Heinrich Pohlmeier then served three terms. Friedhelm Ost was representative from 1990 to 2002, when he was succeeded by Gerhard Wächter, who served until 2009. Carsten Linnemann was elected in 2009, and re-elected in 2013, 2017, and 2021.

title: Yakbim Sekhaenre

text:
Sekhaenre Yakbim or Yakbmu was a ruler during the Second Intermediate Period of Egypt. Although his dynastic and temporal collocation is disputed, Danish Egyptologist Kim Ryholt believes that he likely was the founder of the Levantine-blooded Fourteenth Dynasty, while in older literature he was mainly considered a member of the Sixteenth Dynasty.

Identification
His name never appears inside a cartouche, which was a pharaonic prerogative; nevertheless, on his seals he is usually called "the good god, Sekhaenre" (or simply "Sekhaenre") and "the son of Ra, Yakbim".

There is no direct evidence that Yakbim's throne name was Sekhaenre. This theory is based on stylistic features of the seals and was proposed by William Ayres Ward and later elaborated on by Ryholt; Daphna Ben-Tor disputed this identification, pointing out that the seals of the several rulers living during this period are too similar to make such correlations on the basis of mere design features.

Assuming that Ward was right, Sekhaenre Yakbim is attested by a remarkable 123 seals, second only – for this period – to the 396 of Sheshi. Based on that, Ryholt estimated for him a reign length of around 25 years, in the interval 1805–1780 BCE.

Israeli Egyptologist Raphael Giveon identified Yakbim with another ruler of the same period, Ya'ammu Nubwoserre, while Jürgen von Beckerath equated Yakbim with Salitis, the Manethonian founder of the Fifteenth Dynasty.

title: Dancing Maid

text:
Dancing Maid (29 April 1975 – 1982) was a French Thoroughbred racehorse and broodmare. After winning one of her two races as a two-year-old she emerged as one of the best fillies in Europe in 1978, winning the Prix Vanteaux, Poule d'Essai des Pouliches, Prix Chloé and Prix Vermeille. She also finished a close second in the classic Epsom Oaks and third in Europe's most prestigious all-aged race, the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe. She was retired from racing after one unsuccessful start as a four-year-old. She was not a success as a broodmare.

Background
Dancing Maid was a lightly built bay mare with a broad white blaze and three white socks bred in France by her owner Jacques Wertheimer. She was from the second crop of foals sired by Lyphard, an American-bred stallion who raced in France, winning the Prix Jacques Le Marois and Prix de la Forêt in 1972. Lyphard went on to become a very successful breeding stallion in both Europe and North America, siring Three Troikas, Dancing Brave and Manila. Dancing Maid was the third foal of her dam, Morana and a granddaughter of Moira who finished fourth in the Oaks Stakes in 1962. Moira's dam Madrilene, was closely related to Mincio, who won the Poule d'Essai des Poulains in 1960. Wertheimer sent the filly into training with Alec Head at Chantilly. She was ridden in all of her major races by her trainer's son Freddy Head. Dancing Maid shared a breeder, owner, trainer and sire with another leading French filly of the same generation, Reine de Saba.

Racing career

1977: two-year-old season
After finishing fourth over 1500 metres on her debut, Dancing Maid won a maiden race over 1700 metres at Longchamp Racecourse in October, beating Gayka by half a length.

1978: three-year-old season
Dancing Maid began her three-year-old season in the Prix Vanteaux over 1900 metres at Longchamp on 16 April. Starting the 4.4/1 second favourite, she won by one and a half lengths from Reine Mere. The filly was then dropped back in distance for the Poule d'Essai des Pouliches over 1600m two weeks later and was made the 11/10 favourite against nine opponents. She led from the start and was never seriously challenged, winning by five lengths from Fruhlingstag with A Thousand Stars in third.

A month later, Dancing Maid was sent to England and moved up in distance for the 200th running of the Oaks Stakes over one and a half miles at Epsom Downs Racecourse. Starting favourite in a field of fifteen fillies she took the lead a quarter of a mile from the finish but was strongly challenged by Fair Salinia. In a very close finish, Dancing Maid was caught in the final stride and beaten a short head by the British filly. On 12 July, Dancing Maid was dropped in class and distance to contest the Prix Chloé over 1800 metres at Évry Racecourse. Accompanied by her pacemaker Vallee des Fleurs she started at odds of 3/10 and won by half a length from Tintagel.

On 17 September, Dancing Maid was made the 8/10 favourite for the Group One Prix Vermeille over 2400 metres at Longchamp, in which she was again matched against Fair Salinia. The field also included Calderina (Prix de Malleret), Tempus Fugit (Prix Penelope, Grand Prix de Vichy, Prix de la Nonette), A Thousand Stars and Relfo (Ribblesdale Stakes). Dancing Made tracked Fair Salinia, who set a strong pace but when the fillies turned into the straight Freddy Head found himself trapped on the inside rail with no room to make a challenge for the lead. Inside the final 200 metres a gap final appeared and Dancing Maid immediately accelerated, taking the lead in the final strides and winning by a length from Relfo with Amazer in third. Freddy Head elected to ride Dancing Maid in preference to the colt Gay Mecene when the filly started third favourite for the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe over the same course and distance on 1 October. She produced a strong run in the straight without ever looking likely to win and finished third of the eighteen runners behind the four-year-olds Alleged and Trillion. Two weeks later, Dancing Maid was sent to England for a second time, but failed to reproduce her best form, finishing unplaced behind Swiss Maid in the Champion Stakes.

1979: four-year-old season
Dancing Maid remained in training as a four-year-old but made only one appearance. On 29 April she started third favourite for the Prix Ganay over 2100 metres at Loncgchamp but finished sixth of the eight runners behind Frere Basile.

Assessment
In 1977, the independent Timeform organisation awarded Dancing Maid a rating of 115, ten pounds below their top-rated two-year-old filly Cherry Hinton and described her as being "likely to make a very smart 3-y-o". A year later, she was given a Timeform rating of 126, making her the second-best three-year-old filly of 1978 behind Swiss Maid. In the official International Classification she was rated the third best filly of her generation behind Swiss Maid and the Prix de Diane winner Reine de Saba.

Breeding record
Dancing Maid was retired from racing to become a broodmare, but only produced one foal. Her daughter Dancing Vaguely a bay filly, foaled in Kentucky in 1981 and sired by Vaguely Noble, was a stakes winner in France, winning the 1984 Prix Belle du Nuit. Dancing Maid died in 1982 and is buried in the equine cemetery at Hagyard Farm in Lexington.

title: Robert Dixon (clergyman)

text:
Robert Dixon (ca. 1614–1688) was an English clergyman, theologian, and royalist.

Early life
Dixon was the son of James Dixon of London and his wife Joane Betson. He was educated at St John's College, Cambridge, where he took his BA in 1634/5 and his MA in 1638, before being ordained in 1639.

Imprisonment and later career
After his ordination, Dixon had obtained a benefice in Kent. A steadfast royalist, he refused to take the Solemn League and Covenant, and as a result was seized after preaching a funeral sermon and imprisoned, first at Knole House and then at Leeds Castle. He was held prisoner at Leeds for fourteen months before being released.

By 1647, Dixon was the rector of Tunstall, a position he held until 1661, though for a time he was sequestered from the position on account of his royalist leanings. After the Restoration, he was appointed one of the prebends of Rochester Cathedral in 1660.

Works
Dixon is known to have authored three books:
'The Doctrine of Faith, Justification, and Assurance humbly endeavoured to be farther cleared towards the satisfaction and comfort of all free unbiassed spirits. With an appendix for Peace', 1668
'The Nature of the two Testaments; or the Disposition of the Will and Estate of God to Mankind for Holiness and Happiness by Jesus Christ, concerning things to be done by Men, and things to be had of God, contained in His two great Testaments of the Law and the Gospel; demon; strating the high spirit and state of the Gospel above the Law', 1670
'The Degrees of Consanguinity and Affinity described and delineatea' 1674

He is sometimes held to have written a verse volume called 'Canidia, or the Witches, of Rhapsody in five parts, by R. D.' According to his son James, this work was admired by John Dryden, who met Dixon at Linstead Lodge in Kent and expressed praise for his poetry.

Family
Dixon married Sarah Mabb, daughter of Thomas Mabb of Bersted in Kent. They had three children:

 Robert Dixon, Jr. (d. 1711), who was also rector of Tunstall
 James Dixon (1648–1716), a lawyer
 Elizabeth Dixon (d. 1738), who married another clergyman, Meyrick Head

Through his son James, he was the grandfather of the poet Sarah Dixon.

Dixon died in 1688.

title: Generic matrix ring

text:
In algebra, a generic matrix ring is a sort of a universal matrix ring.

Definition
We denote by  a generic matrix ring of size n with variables . It is characterized by the universal property: given a commutative ring R and n-by-n matrices  over R, any mapping  extends to the ring homomorphism (called evaluation) .

Explicitly, given a field k, it is the subalgebra  of the matrix ring  generated by n-by-n matrices , where  are matrix entries and commute by definition. For example, if m = 1 then  is a polynomial ring in one variable.

For example, a central polynomial is an element of the ring  that will map to a central element under an evaluation. (In fact, it is in the invariant ring  since it is central and invariant.)

By definition,  is a quotient of the free ring  with  by the ideal consisting of all p that vanish identically on all n-by-n matrices over k.

Geometric perspective
The universal property means that any ring homomorphism from  to a matrix ring factors through . This has a following geometric meaning. In algebraic geometry, the polynomial ring  is the coordinate ring of the affine space , and to give a point of  is to give a ring homomorphism (evaluation)  (either by the Hilbert nullstellensatz or by the scheme theory). The free ring  plays the role of the coordinate ring of the affine space in the noncommutative algebraic geometry (i.e., we don't demand free variables to commute) and thus a generic matrix ring of size n is the coordinate ring of a noncommutative affine variety whose points are the Spec's of matrix rings of size n (see below for a more concrete discussion.)

The maximal spectrum of a generic matrix ring

For simplicity, assume k is algebraically closed. Let A be an algebra over k and let  denote the set of all maximal ideals  in A such that . If A is commutative, then  is the maximal spectrum of A and  is empty for any .
