title: Blairmore Group

text:
The Blairmore Group, originally named the Blairmore Formation, is a geologic unit of Early Cretaceous age in the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin that is present in southwestern Alberta and southeastern British Columbia. It is subdivided into four formations: Cadomin Formation, Gladstone, Beaver Mines and Ma Butte , all of which are defined by type sections, most of which contain plant fossils. In some areas the Blairmore contains significant reservoirs of natural gas.

Lithology
The Blairmore group includes the conglomerate and quartzose sandstones of the Cadomin Formation at the base, and grades to sandstone, siltstone, mudstone, and limestone in the overlying formations.

The Cadomin Formation has beds of quartzose sandstone and, in some sections, especially in the eastern foothills, is totally quartzose sandstone. It is normally a very durable, siliceous pebble conglomerate. A sequence of interbedded, highly variable-proportioned grey mudstone to sandstone layers makes up the bottom portion of the underlying Gladstone Formation. Sandstones, whose grain size rarely exceeds fine, frequently show a noticeable upward decline in grain size. Dark grey, argillaceous limestone and fossiliferous calcareous shale make up the top Gladstone Formation. Limestone deposits are few or nonexistent north of the Clearwater River (52°N).

Both the Beaver Mines Formation in the south and the Mountain Park Formation in the north are made up of interbedded mudstone to very fine-grained sandstone with minor but noticeable thicker and coarser sandstone units that have abrupt bases and fining upward grain size. Conglomerate beds make up a small portion. The marine mudstone Moosebar Member of the Malcolm Creek Formation, which is restricted to the region north of Waiparous Creek (51°20'N), is overlain by the notable sandstone-dominated Torrens Member and the coal-bearing Grande Cache Member. Mudstone to very fine-grained sandstone, as well as layers of conglomerate and coarser sandstone, make up the Ma Butte Formation.

The Beaver Mines and Ma Butte formations in the upper part of the group also include minor beds of bentonite and tuff.

In the type area, tuffaceous mudstones are widespread in the top portion of the formation, but they vanish to the northwest along the foothills. North of the Clearwater River, the structure is completely missing. Various shades of red and green, frequently speckled south of the Bow River, are particularly prevalent. Except in the Mountain Park Formation, where greenish grey predominates in more southerly areas and is increasingly prominent higher, grey prevails to the north. In the Smoky River region, the uppermost part of the formation, the proportion of the section with a conspicuously greenish tint is restricted to a subtle shade of greenish-grey as it declines northward.

Stratigraphy
The Blairmore Group is subdivided into the following formations from top to base:

Some early workers included the Crowsnest Formation, which overlies the Ma Butte Formation, at the top of the Blairmore Group, but that practice has been abandoned.

Distribution and Thickness
The name Blairmore Group is applicable in the foothills and mountains of southwestern Alberta and southeastern British Columbia, from the Canada–United States border northward to the Clearwater River. The equivalent strata north of the Clearwater River, which were originally assigned to the Blairmore Group, differ in that they contain major coal deposits and they have therefore been reassigned to the Luscar Group.

The Blairmore Group has a maximum thickness of about . The Ma Butte portion has a thickness of  The Fernie Basin's maximum reported thickness is estimated to be . The easternmost foothills have reported thicknesses of roughly , indicating a clear west to east thinning. In the northwest, thicknesses of 400 to 600 m (1312 to 1968 ft) are common in the foothills.

Relationship to other units
The Blairmore Group unconformably overlies the Kootenay Group and is gradationally overlain by the Crowsnest Formation or, where the Crowsnest Formation is absent, is disconformably overlain by the Alberta Group. It is equivalent to the Luscar Group north of the Clearwater River and to the Mannville Group in the plains to the east.

In northwestern Montana the Cut Bank Sandstone correlates with the Cadomin Formation; the lower Kootenai Formation, including the Draney Limestone with the Beaver Mines Formation; and the lower Blackleaf Formation with the Ma Butte Formation.

Environment of deposition and paleontology

The Blairmore Group is a westward-thickening clastic wedge of clastic sediments derived from the erosion of newly uplifted mountains to the west. The sediments were transported eastward by river systems and deposited in a variety of braided stream, river channel, floodplain, and coastal plain environments along the western edge of the Western Interior Seaway. Its formations include a variety of plant fossils, trace fossils, bivalves, and microfossils.

title: Fairholme Group

text:
The Fairholme Group is a stratigraphic unit of Late Devonian (Frasnian) age. It is present on the western edge of the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin in the Rocky Mountains and foothills of Alberta and British Columbia. It was named for the Fairholme Range near Exshaw in the Canadian Rockies by H.H. Beach in 1943.

The formations of the Fairholme Group include fossils of marine animals such as stromatoporoids, corals, brachiopods, crinoids, and conodonts.

Lithology
The Fairholme Group was deposited in marine environments and can be subdivided into three gross lithologic units:

 The basal carbonate platform sequence of the Flume Formation, or in southern areas the Hollebeke and Borsato Formations, which are composed of limestones and dolomites.
 The carbonate buildups (reefal sequences) of the Cairn and Southesk Formations, also composed of limestones and dolomites.
 The basin-fill clastic rocks of the Maligne, Perdrix, and Mount Hawk Formations, which consist primarily of mudstones, argillaceous limestones, and calcareous shales. These are laterally equivalent to the reefal units.

Distribution and thickness
The Fairholme Group is present in the Canadian Rockies from the Kakwa Lakes area of northeastern British Columbia, south through Alberta to the Flathead River region of southeastern British Columbia, as well as in the subsurface beneath the immediately adjacent plains to the east. Where fully developed, the group reaches thicknesses from about 300 to 728 m (980 to 2400 feet).

Relationship to other units
The Fairholm Group overlies the Beaverhill Lake Group in the southern Alberta plains, and unconformably overlies the Middle Devonian Yahatinda Formation or pre-Devonian formations in the mountains. It is overlain by the Crowfoot Formation in the plains, and the Sassenach, Alexo or, rarely, the Palliser Formation in the mountains. It is equivalent to the Woodbend Group and the lower part of the Winterburn Group of the plains.

title: 54th Guards Rifle Division

text:
The 54th Guards Rifle Division was an infantry division of the Red Army during World War II.

The division was created on December 16, 1942, from the second formation of the 119th Rifle Division. It was assigned the honorific title of "Guards" in recognition of that division's leading role in Operation Uranus, the breakthrough that led to the encirclement of the German/Romanian forces in Stalingrad, and the subsequent elimination of the 3rd Romanian Army. The 54th Guards Division continued a record of distinguished service through the rest of World War II.

History
The 54th Guards was one of the first of many Guards rifle divisions created from the divisions that fought in the Battle of Stalingrad. When formed, its order of battle was as follows:
 160th Guards Rifle Regiment from the 365th Rifle Regiment
 162nd Guards Rifle Regiment from the 421st Rifle Regiment
 163rd Guards Rifle Regiment from the 634th Rifle Regiment
 125th Guards Artillery Regiment from the 349th Artillery Regiment
 Guards Sapper Battalion from the 224th Sapper Battalion.
At the time of its formation the division it was serving in the 5th Tank Army of the Don Front. Later in the Stalingrad campaign it was transferred to various armies of the Southwestern Front. In February 1943 it was in the 18th Rifle Corps of the 3rd Guards Army and in the spring was reassigned to the 3rd Guards Rifle Corps, where it remained for the duration.

The 54th Guards Division, along this its corps, was soon reassigned to the Southern Front (renamed 4th Ukrainian Front on October 20, 1943) and served there for the next 12 months, mostly as part of the 5th Shock Army. It campaigned through the Donbas, southern Ukraine, and finally across the Dnepr River in October 1943. During that time, the division was credited with the liberation of the town of Makeevka in eastern Ukraine, and was given its name as an honorific. After the advance ground to a halt along the Dniester River in the spring of 1944, the division was withdrawn into the Stavka Reserve, and after rebuilding was reassigned to the 28th Army of the 1st Ukrainian Front. During this rebuilding, the division became one of the first rifle divisions to have its towed anti-tank gun battalion replaced with a battalion of SU-76 self-propelled guns.

With its Army, the 54th Guards drove into central Poland in the summer, and in early 1945 moved into Latvia to help mop up the German forces there. Following this, the 28th Army was shifted back across Poland, to join the 1st Ukrainian Front's offensive into Czechoslovakia in early May. The division ended the war near Prague. By this time the division had the following honorifics: Makeevka, Order of Lenin, Order of the Red Banner, Order of Suvorov, Order of Kutuzov).

After World War II, the division was relocated to Belarus with the 3rd Guards Rifle Corps at Kobryn. In the spring of 1946 the division and its corps were transferred to the 3rd Army, and disbanded within the next six months.

title: The Sun Season

text:
The Sun Season is the third studio project from jazz singer/songwriter Dara Tucker. It was released on July 8, 2014. It features ten songs written by Dara Tucker, and two standards: "Over the Rainbow" and "The Nearness of You".

Album history
The album's ten original songs were written over a period of ten years, starting with Tucker's time in Interlaken, Switzerland. The album contains a "sun" theme. Tucker states that she finds inspiration from the sun, and often felt compelled to write about it. "Beautiful Sun" was written by Tucker in 2003 to celebrate the beauty of nature and its ability to invigorate and give life. Several of the album's songs were composed over a period of several years. Many of the songs' themes center around finding beauty and joy in communing with nature. The Sun Season contains a blend of Tucker's influences, including jazz, singer-songwriter, pop music, gospel music, Broadway theater, R&B and soul music.

The album features Peter Bernstein, Helen Sung, John Ellis, Alan Ferber, Donald Edwards and Greg Bryant. It was recorded at Samurai Hotel Studios by David Stoller from October 7–9, 2013, and mixed and mastered in Nashville, Tennessee by Jon Estes. It was produced by Greg Bryant for Watchman Music.

title: Verso (music)

text:
The verso is a genre in Iberian organ music, a local variant of the organ mass verset or alternatim.

The most prominent examples of the verso or verset in Spanish Baroque organ music are the Versos tertii toni of Antonio Cabezón, and Verso para orquesta of Ignacio de Jerusalem with lesser known examples such as Versos de quatro tono of Carmelite friar Pedro Carrera y Lanchares and Versos de Kyrie of Portuguese composer Manuel Rodrigues Coelho. The vocal lines were not always sung, and today usually not performed or recorded.

Modern compositions paying homage to the Baroque verso include Roberto Sierra (b.1953) 4 Versos for cello and orchestra.

title: Chef Distilled

text:
Chef Distilled is an American rum distillery founded in 2013 by Paul Joseph Menta in Key West, Florida, in the former Coca-Cola bottling plant on 105 Simonton St. The rum is distilled on site in two custom-made copper pot stills made by Vendome Copper and Brass Works in Louisville, Kentucky.

The distillery and methods of using the Key West heat, humidity and pressure temperature combinations to produce distinct flavors in the rum was featured on The Weather Channel with Jim Cantore which premiered the first day of the 2014 hurricane season.

Chef Distilled was opened on the 5th of December, 2013, precisely at 5:32 pm - the same day and time when the 21st amendment of the US Constitution was ratified. This is an official anniversary of the company.

The Founder
Paul Joseph Menta (born March 1, 1966) is a professional kiteboarder, acclaimed chef and restaurateur of Key West eateries who is also currently serving as the Speaker of the House  of the Conch Republic, the micronation that seceded from the United States on April 23, 1982, in protest over a United States Border Patrol blockade which severely damaged the tourism economy of the Florida Keys.

Distilling Philosophy

Paul Joseph Menta has established the Chef Distilled philosophy as “chef first, then distiller”. With his culinary background, he compares similarities between healthy cooking and the spirit distilling process, the company prides itself in producing rums with only native Florida ingredients like unrefined Demerara sugar from Belle Glade, Florida, instead of molasses, without any preservatives or artificial flavoring, the Chef’s flavored brands use whole vanilla bean stalks and real Key limes grown in the Florida Keys. The simplicity of ingredients and method of distilling six times and filtering out fusel oils that result in headaches produces a cleaner rum.

Products

Key West First Legal Rum is the flagship 80-proof white rum that is brought out of the still at 147 proof with the lower proof giving it more flavor,  the name pays tribute to the history of rum running and moonshiners that abounded in the Florida Keys during the prohibition era. White Light is a lighter clear rum that is distilled at a higher proof around 170 to start, which just like vodka gives it a light or neutral flavor, it is then cut with spring water to bring it to 90 proof.
The dark rums are brought out of American oak casks twice a year; the salt cured barrels are first soaked in ocean water taken directly from the nearby Simonton beach to give a unique local mineral flavor.  Key West Raw and Unfiltered is 80-proof and 105 Simonton, whose name reflects both the distillery address and the proof of the spirit itself.
The Chef’s Rum line currently features the flavored rums Vanilla Brûlée Dark, Devils Rum, Mint, and Key Lime with Green Coconut, Glazed Pineapple, Duval St. Spiced Rum, Chocolate Soufflé and many more in the works through the federal label approval process.

title: Mubarak Bala

text:
Mubarak Bala (born 1984) is a Nigerian atheist and president of the Humanist Association of Nigeria. Bala has faced persecution and arrest for leaving Islam and publicly expressing atheist views.

On 5 April 2022, the Kano State High Court sentenced Bala to 24 years imprisonment after he pleaded guilty to an eighteen-count charge of blasphemy and public incitement.

Early life and loss of faith
Bala was born in Kano, northern Nigeria, in 1984. In a 2016 article on his "personal journey", he stated that he lost his faith "little by little" as he grew and met people outside of his conservative and religious hometown. His criticism became more vocal as terror attacks increased in Nigeria.
What finally made me come out as atheist was a video of a beheading of a female Christian back in 2013 by boys around my age, speaking my language. It hit me that the time for silence is over. Either someone speaks out or we all sink.”

When he came out as an atheist, in 2014, he was forcibly committed to a psychiatric institution in Kano, reportedly at the insistence of his "deeply religious family". He was held there for eighteen days, and (according to Bala) "beaten, sedated and threatened with death if [he] tried to leave".
One doctor believed there was nothing wrong with Bala, but a second doctor suggested a personality disorder and, according to Bala, told him:My dear, you need a God, even in Japan, they have a God, no one should live without God, those that do, are all psychologically ill, denying the biblical account of Adam and Eve is delusion, denial of history. The International Humanist and Ethical Union has taken up the case and feels Bala's human rights were violated. According to the IHEU, "The real reason for this outrageous and inhumane action is because Mubarak has renounced Islam and has openly declared himself to be an atheist." On 4 July 2014, the BBC reported that Bala had been released from hospital in conjunction with a doctors' strike and was seeking reconciliation with his family. It was not clear if he would remain in Nigeria, due to death threats.

Arrest and conviction

Bala decided to stay in Nigeria and was named president of the Nigerian Humanists. In April 2020, he was arrested in Kaduna for blasphemy, due to a Facebook post he made, and was subsequently held without charge. Fears mounted for his safety due to the fact that the Nigerian police allegedly transferred him from the state of Kaduna to Kano, where Shariah law is practiced, and in the face of several credible death threats. According to his lawyer, while in prison, Bala was "denied access to healthcare, kept in solitary confinement, and forced to worship the Islamic way".

Human rights activist Leo Igwe worked to support Bala's rights, in conjunction with several atheist and humanist organisations, including Humanism International and Atheist Alliance International. Also, the newly formed International Association of Atheists (IAA) joined forces to raise awareness and funds to help pay Bala's legal costs. The United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) also took an interest in Bala and started applying pressure on the Nigerian government. Jamie Raskin has advocated for his release as part of the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission's Defending Freedoms project, and a petition was filed at the Working Group on Arbitrary Detention on his behalf.

On 5 April 2022, Mubarak was sentenced to 24 years in prison at a (secular)
high court in the northern state of Kano, after pleading guilty to all 24 charges and asking for leniency.

Following his guilty plea, the Humanist Association stated that the plea had not been "part of the agreed legal strategy" and that Bala may have been subject to intimidation by the prosecution, and/or "tricked into pleading guilty in the hopes of a light sentence".

Personal background
Bala's family is "descended from generations of Islamic scholars". He is a chemical process engineer by education and has a wife and a young son, who was born six weeks before Bala's arrest.

Recognition
Bala was honoured with the Gordon Ross Humanist of the Year award in 2021 by Humanist Society Scotland.

The Nobel Prize-winning Nigerian author Wole Soyinka has expressed concern that  Bala’s arrest was part of a “plague of religious extremism” that has afflicted Nigeria in recent decades.

title: Husky Formation

text:
The Husky Formation is a fossiliferous stratigraphic geological formation located in the Aklavik Range, in the District of Mackenzie, Yukon.

Regional Geology

The Husky formation is a part of a larger, Jurassic aged sedimentary package that spans from Northern Yukon to the Northwest Territories. This package is a regional wedge concentrated in the Richardson Mountains, that sits atop North American Cordillera basement rocks. The wedge demonstrates classic basin-ward thickening. Associated with this thickening is a stratigraphic range from coarser, lower to middle-Jurassic sedimentary units to upper-Jurassic shale, which marks the Husky formation. The Husky formation is one of the two shale units in the Aklavik range, and is characterized by its fossil assemblages. The “Husky shale” lies immediately above the bivalve rich, heavily bioturbated Aklavik sandstone. The “Husky shale” is one of the youngest units (second youngest to the Porcupine River formation) in this wedge-succession and marks an unconformity with the Aklavic sandstone units below.

Fossils in The Husky Formation

The Husky succession preserves fossils dating back to the Upper Jurassic (Oxfordian-Volgian) period including foraminifera, bivalves, ostracods and ammonites. provide environmental proxies related to paleoclimatic reconstructions during the deposition of The Husky Formation.

Placement of stratigraphic markers between Upper and Middle Jurassic sections along The Husky Succession have been debated.  Biostratigraphic analysis of foraminifers as index fossils and lithostratigraphic analysis of sedimentary layers indicated suitable placement of a GGSP between The Porcupine River Formation and the Aklavik Formation in the upper Oxfordian Jurassic period.  Foraminifera are protists classified as a sub-phylum of Domain Eukarya and have been preserved in The Husky Formation. Foraminifera are free-living heterotrophic marine organisms suggesting the Aklavik Range was a marine environment during the Jurassic.

Bivalves including clams, scallops and mussels were discovered in The Husky Formation. Bivalves are a sub-category of Class Bivalvia and Phylum Mollusca. Marine, freshwater and terrestrial specimens are common. Characteristics of Mollusca include bilateral symmetry, non-segmented cephalization, complete digestive tract, triploblastic and a reduced coelom. Distinguishing characteristics of Class Bivalvia include a greatly reduced head, laterally compressed foot and a laterally compressed body and shell forcing the mantle to overhang the body. These defining characteristics represent adaptions for burrowing in a soft substrate, which explains the presence of bivalves in soft sediment along the Husky Formation. Not all modern day bivalves are soft bottom dwellers, as much diversity has occurred within the class due to adaptions necessary for survival suggesting depositional environment has changed in the Northern Yukon since the Jurassic.

Ammonites are also a part of Phylum Mollusca as Class Cephalopoda, Order Nautilida. Ammonites have well-developed shells that have been preserved as fossils that provide further evidence of a marine environment during deposition of The Husky Formation.  A marine environment was essential for cephalopods as their characteristics represented adaptations for a swimming, predatory mode of existence.  Contraction of the mantle pushes out water from the mantle cavity causing propulsion for swimming.

Ostracods are a part of Phylum Arthropoda as Class Crustacea. Ostracods are limited to damp environments due to gas exchange using gills, but primarily inhabit aquatic environments which is further evidence supporting a marine environment during the Jurassic in Northern Yukon.

title: Howard County Public Library

text:
Howard County Library System (HCLS), established in 1940, is a public library system located in central Maryland. HCLS delivers equal opportunity in education to students of all ages in Howard County, Maryland.

Special collections

The Charles E. Miller branch is home to the Historical Center and research library, dedicated to preserving Maryland history. The Miller branch works in conjunction with the Howard County Historical Society Museum in Ellicott City, MD.

History

Fundraising for the first county library was started in 1938 by the Women's Civic Club "Friends of the Library". On October 11, 1940 the first library opened in a portable building in Ellicott City in a ceremony with a speech by Baltimore Judge Joseph N. Ulman. It moved shortly after to a rented building above a meat store on Main street. At this time James A. Clark, Sr. petitioned the county commissioners to add two cents to the tax rate to fund the library.

In 1952 a flood washed out the library, and in 1960 the library moved to Frederick Road and St. Johns Lane. George Morrision funded a new library in 1962 in the corner of the historic family owned Gray Rock slave plantation was donated by Charles E. Miller who was attempting to create a housing subdivision. In 1965, a bookmobile serviced stops at Savage, Glenwood, and Glenelg. In  The Savage Branch opens in the historic Carroll Baldwin Hall in 1966. In 1968, the Rouse Company signed an agreement to have the Howard County Library System lease one of its buildings for five years at an expense of $5,511 a year with the Columbia Association property assessments paying for furnishings. On January 4, 1981 the $4 million Central Branch opened in Columbia, becoming a facility with the 2nd highest number of items loaned in the county at the time with a computer system named "Gandalf".

In 1984, the Miller Branch received a $3 million expansion from 7000sqft to 22,000sqft. and the Central Branch deploys two microcomputers available to residents who take a two-hour training lesson. In 1989, $1 million was budgeted to buy land for the $6.3 million 33,600 sqft East Columbia Branch, to be opened in 1991. In 2011, a new 63,000sqft HCLS Miller Branch & Historical Center replaces the adjacent 22,000sqft facility next to it. In 2013, Howard County Library System was named 2013 Library of the Year by Gale and Library Journal.

In July 2014, the HCLS Savage Branch & STEM Education Center completed a $6.1 million renovation. The renovation doubled the size of the library, taking it to 24,000 sqft. The branch now focuses on STEM related activities, adding valuable classroom space and added outdoor STEM implemented garden that showcases STEM principles at work.

Borrowing and statistics
1965 – 13,688, 1 Bookmobile
1983 – 1.508 million, 88 Employees, 3 Bookmobiles
1995 – 2.6 million, 13.1 book per resident ratio, 6 branches
2012 – 7.1 million, 300 Employees, $18,978,950 operating budget.

Maryland Consolidated Library System
Any person who lives, works, or pays property taxes in Maryland is entitled to obtain a library card at no charge from any county or Baltimore City. They may either obtain a separate card from each jurisdiction or authorize a library card from a different public library system in Maryland to be used there. Also, Maryland counties adjoining the state line will authorize persons living in cities and counties in the state that borders that Maryland county, to obtain a library card at no charge usable in that county only, as long as that jurisdiction in the other state provides reciprocal free library privileges for the residents of that county in Maryland. For example, Prince George's and Montgomery counties will allow reciprocal library privileges with residents of the District of Columbia and nearby counties and cities in Virginia, however, Baltimore would not offer this privilege. Where a non-resident does not qualify for a free card, they may obtain one from any county by paying a yearly fee of $50 to each county they want one from.

title: Wernecke Mountains Group

text:
The Wernecke Mountains are located in the East-central Yukon Territory of Canada. They have provided important wildlife habitat for animals such as grizzly bears and caribou as well as trapping and hunting land for the indigenous people of the Yukon for many centuries. They are the northernmost expression of the North American Cordillera, a chain of mountains stretching from Alaska to southern Mexico. This area has a northern climate characterized by short summers and long winters, with average temperatures from  in the winter to  in the summer While essentially unpopulated, this area is well known for its rich mineral deposits, including gold, silver and copper.

Geological Setting
In the Proterozic, this area was located on the west coast of ancient North America. The thick sedimentary deposits composed an eastward tapering, supracrustal wedge. At least three cycles of basin formation and extension at the western edge of Laurentia resulted in 22 kilometers of sediment deposited in the early Proterozoic through to the Paleozoic eras. Extension and crustal thinning associated with basin development during the Paleoproterozoic suggests separation of Laurentia from another continent to the west, thought to be ancient eastern Australia. The rifting of cratons produced intracratonic basins and passive margin. Extensional periods were interrupted by orogenies, uplift, magmatism, and hydrothermal activity, ultimately creating the landscape seen today. Thus, the rocks exposed in the Wernecke mountains reveal the events responsible for the early formation of western North America.

Crystalline Basement
The Yukon's crystalline basement is overlain by thick sedimentary strata deposited in extensional and/or rift basin environments. These basement rocks are not exposed anywhere in the Yukon, and the thickness of the surpracrustal sediments makes surveying using aeromagnetics, a technique used for inferring basement character in NWT, difficult. Hence, the character of the underlying crystalline basement of the Wernecke range is not well-known.  Estimates for the age of the basement rock ranges from Archean to early Proterozoic. These rocks are hypothesized to be a thinned continuation of the granitic Fort Simpson terrane exposed to the East based on aeromagnetic and gravity anomalies combined with drill-hole analyses in NWT.

Wernecke Supergroup
The Wernecke Supergroup was deposited in the paleoproterozoic from >1.84 Ga - 1.60 Ga. The thickness of the deposits seen in the Wernecke Mountains suggests crustal thinning and extension in passive margin or intracratonal environment. The Wompay orogen has been suggested as a possible mechanism behind the initial formation of the Wernecke basin. This hypothesis is supported by both the timing of the orogeny, approximately 1.88-1.84 Ga, and Nd values in the Wernecke Supergroup consistent with Nd values in rocks involved in the Wompay orogen and the Canadian Shield. The oldest exposed sedimentary deposit in the Wernecke mountains, known as the Wernecke Supergroup, comprises Fairchild Lake Group, the Quartet Group, and the Gillespie Lake Group. Together, these groups represent two cycles of basin subsidence and consequent infilling at the western edge of Laurentia. The first cycle represents initial basin development followed by the second cycle, signifying deepening of the basin and marine transgression.
The Fairchild group, the oldest and most deformed member of the Wernecke Supergroup is characterized by about 4.6 km of upward grading siltstone to shale with carbonates, representing a low sediment input environment and a shallow basin. The bottom of the Fairchild group is not exposed, but is thought to rest on the crystalline basement. These sediments have since been metamorphosed to slate, phyllite, or fine-grained chloritoid- or garnet-porphyroblastic muscovite-chlorite-quartz schist by the Racklan orogeny at 1.6 Ga, as well as magmatism and hydrothermal activity. The Quartet group records a time of increasing sediment input beginning with shales and coarsening upward to siltstone and carbonates. The Gillespie lake group is characterised by wavy and plane bedding and preserved cross laminations, algal mats, stromatolites, pisolites, intraclasts, and mud-cracks, indicating a shallow water depositional environment.

Racklan Orogeny
The Racklan orogeny occurred at 1.60 Ga, after the complete deposition of the Wernecke supergroup but before the deposition of the Wernecke breccias.  The timing of the orogeny is constrained by the emplacement of the Wernecke Breccias, which are not deformed and have been dated to 1.59 Ga. The Racklan Orogeny is characterised by low-grade greenschist metaporhism, foliation, superposed crenulations and kink bands. Two sets of major folds have been identified, with first trending north and verging to the east and the second trending east and verging south With successive compression, folding became overturned followed by crenulation and kink band formation during subsequent deformation. Seismic imagery shows Racklan orogeny to be thin skinned, although a lack of basement exposure means this cannot be confirmed.

Pinguicla Group
Deposition of the Pinguicla group began at 1.38 Ga after a significant period of weathering. Deposition of these sediments indicates a period of rifting and extension in the area, as supported by the incidence of the Hart River volcanic at the same time period. The period of rifting and crustal extension embodied by the Hart River volcanics was followed by basin sedimentation represented by the Pinguicula group. The Pinguicula group is separated from the Wernecke Supergroup by an angular unconformity, representing an erosional stage after the Racklan orogenic event. Three units compose the Pinguicula Group,  deep water shales, mid depth carbonates and intertidal carbonates, suggesting an ocean basin environment.  Formation of the Pinguicula basin is thought to be related to Laurentia rifting from another unknown continent.

Hematite Creek Group
The Hematite Creek Group was deposited in the middle Proterozoic, 1.0 Ga - 1.1 Ga. This group is delineated from the Pinguicla Group by a 300 million year gap in the sediment record and an unconformity type boundary. The Hematite Creek Group is approximately a kilometer thick and is composed mostly of clastic and carbonate sediments. These sediments were deposited in a shallow ocean environment, as evidenced by preserved stromatolites, mud cracks and interference ripples. Sediment supply for the Hematite Creek basin formation has been tentatively attributed to the Grenville orogeny of approximately the same time period through U-Pb dating of zircon grains.

Corn Creek Orogeny
The second orogenic event in the Wernecke mountain area, the Corn Creek orogeny, occurred during the late Proterozoic, 1.0 Ga, after the deposition of the Hematite Creek group. The Corn Creek orogeny deformed the Pinguicula group and the Hematite Creek group in an east side up compressional episode, resulting in significant uplift, metamorphism, and thrust faults and folds verging south west. The Wernecke supergroup shows basically no deformation attributable to this orogeny and retains the east side down mode of deformation acquired during the Racklan orogen.  The sole exception is the reactivation of a normal fault within the Wernecke supergroup. This implies Corn Creek was a thin-skinned style compressional event and deformation involved only the Pinguicula and Hematite Creek groups. The unconformity style boundary seen between Hematite Creek strata and Windermere supergroup allows for measurement of the deformation. While not involved in substantial deformation of the Wernecke sediments, the Corn Creek orogeny may have been involved in the exhumation of the Wernecke Supergroup in some areas.) This theory is sustained by the similar cooling age of the white mica in the Wernecke supergroup and the timing of Corn Creek orogeny, dated using 40Ar–39Ar methods.

Windermere Supergroup
Windermere Supergroup was deposited on an angular uniformity over the Hematite Creek Group. Using isotopic ages of volcanic rocks emplaced before sedimentation began as well as correlations with sediments on other continents, the beginning of the Windermere Supergroup can be dated at 780 Ma. The Windermere sedimentary deposits formed in a rift or passive margin environment.  In contrast to the sediments deposited before, the Windermere Supergroup shows glacially deposited sediments as well as clastic-carbonate grand cycles. The Windermere strata have been correlated to outcrops along the entire North American west coast.  This supergroup is composed of two main subgroups, the Rapitan Group and an upper package sometimes referred to as the Hay Creek group. The Rapitan Group consists of glacial related sediments where as the Hay Creek Group consists of more typical clastic-carbonate grand cycles.

Laramide Orogeny
The Laramide orogeny occurred Late Cretaceous to Tertiary, through the end of the Cretaceous,  much later than the Racklan and Corn Creek orogenies. The Laramide orogeny is associated with the accretion of exotic superterranes on the West Coast of North America, as well as the subduction of the Farallon and Kula plates. The effects of the Laramide orogeny are seen throughout North America in mountain belts stretching from Mexico to Alaska. This action resulted in strong metamorphism, plutonism and crustal thickening in the Yukon, including the Wernecke Mountains. Magmatism in the area during the Cretaceous resulted from easterly-directed subduction of the Farallon plates. This instigated felsic to intermediate arc-trench related magmatic activity spanning the Yukon Territory from 99 to 89 Ma. In central Yukon, these rocks were deformed in a northerly-directed, fold-and-thrust belt in the Jurassic to Cretaceous possibly due to more accretion on the West coasts. This deformation resulted in the development of three major faults in the area, the Dawson, Tombstone and Robert Service faults. The gold bearing Tombstone Plutonic suite of intrusions were emplaced into these rocks at 92 Mas.

Mineralization

The Wernecke Mountains are home to many rich mineral deposits, including the largest gold deposit in the Yukon, the Eagle Gold deposit. This deposit is found is the Tombstone Plutonic Suite, a series of gold bearing intrusions stretching across Alaska and the Yukon known as the Tombstone Gold Belt. These deposits are characterized by sheeted mineralized veins within granitoid intrusions and fault-veins, breccias and replacement style mineralization in the country rocks. The Eagle Gold deposit in particular is a hydrothermal vein hosted gold deposit. The gold bearing veins cut through felsic intrusions and country rock, dipping south and striking NE.

title: Mount Whyte Formation

text:
The Mount Whyte Formation is a stratigraphic unit that is present on the western edge of the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin in the southern Canadian Rockies and the adjacent southwestern Alberta plains. It was deposited during Middle Cambrian time and consists of shale interbedded with other siliciclastic rock types and limestones. It was named for Mount Whyte in Banff National Park by Charles Doolittle Walcott, the discoverer of the Burgess shale fossils, and it includes several genera of fossil trilobites.

Lithology and deposition
The Mount Whyte Formation was deposited during Middle Cambrian time in shallow water at the western margin of the North American Craton. It consists mainly of shale interbedded with other siliciclastic rock types and limestone. In the Mount Whyte area it can be subdivided into three units:

Upper member: Shale interbedded with oolitic limestone.
Middle member: Shale with thin beds of sandstones and conglomerates, grading into impure limestones at the top.
Basal member: Thin-bedded limestones and sandy limestones with lenticular beds of pebbly sandstone and shale partings.

Distribution and stratigraphic relationships
The Mount Whyte Formation outcrops in the southern Rocky Mountains of southwestern Alberta and southeastern British Columbia, and is present in the subsurface beneath the southwestern Alberta plains where it grades onto the Earlie Formation. It grades into the Snake Indian Formation to the north and Naiset Formation to the west. It disconformably overlies the Lower Cambrian Gog Group and is conformably overlain by the Cathedral Formation.

Paleontology
The Mount Whyte Formation includes Olenellus and other fossil trilobites that establish its Middle Cambrian age by biostratigraphy.

Harris' Minor Encyclopedia is a small encyclopedia compiled by the Rev. Thaddeus Mason Harris in 1803 in Dorchester, Massachusetts, and published that year in Boston by West and Greenleaf. The full title on the title page is The Minor Encyclopedia, or Cabinet of General Knowledge: Being a Dictionary of Arts, Sciences and Polite Literature. In Four Volumes.

The book was a revised American edition of Kendall's Pocket Encyclopedia, edited extensively by Harris. It consists of four volumes of approximately 300 pages each in duodecimo ( inches by 7 inches). There are no plates.

Harris covers the arts and sciences, and technology, and topics of general knowledge, but there are no geographical, biographical, or historical articles. The editor states, "Articles of local geography have been purposely omitted. The publications of Dr. Morse supersede the necessity of their introduction here...Biographical dictionaries, particularly those of Watkins and Jones, are in general circulation; and the public are expecting an elaborate and complete "Universal Biography", compiled by a Society of Literati in Albany. Nor was it possible to make these volumes the vehicle of HISTORICAL INFORMATION. It is a subject too extensive for our plan."

title: Beattie Peaks Formation

text:
The Beattie Peaks Formation is a geologic formation of Early Cretaceous (Valanginian) age in the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin that consists primarily of marine mudstone. It is present in the northern foothills of the Canadian Rockies and the adjacent plains in northeastern British Columbia.

Lithology
The Beattie Peaks Formation consists primarily of dark grey to brownish grey or black mudstones that contain abundant organic matter and are extensively burrowed. Interbeds of argillaceous siltstone and fine-grained sandstone increase toward the top of the formation.

Environment of deposition
The Beattie Peaks Formation was deposited in marine and prodeltaic environments within the Western Interior Seaway.

Paleontology and age
The age of the Beattie Peaks Formation has been determined from its fossil fauna, primarily species of the bivalve Buchia. The formation has also yielded other fossil bivalves, ammonites, and microfossils. Trace fossils made by burrowing organisms are common in its mudstones.

Thickness and distribution
The Beattie Peaks Formation is present in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies and the adjacent plains in northeastern British Columbia, extending from the Prophet River to south of the Pine River. It reaches a maximum thickness of  in the western foothills and thins eastward.

Relationship to other units
The Beattie Peaks Formation is part of the Minnes Group. It was deposited conformably on the Monteith Formation and is conformably overlain by the Monach Formation, both of which also belong to the Minnes Group. To the south it grades into the lower part of the Gorman Creek Formation.

title: Monach Formation

text:
The Monach Formation is a geologic formation of Early Cretaceous (Valanginian) age in the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin that consists primarily of sandstone. It is present in the northern foothills of the Canadian Rockies and the adjacent plains in northeastern British Columbia.

Lithology
The Monach Formation consists primarily of clean, white to light grey, well sorted, medium- to coarse-grained quartzose sandstone, and grey to brown, thin bedded to finely laminated argillaceous sandstone, with lesser interbeds of dark grey mudstone, thin coal seams, carbonaceous shale, and rare conglomerate.

Environment of deposition
The Monach Formation was deposited in marine and nonmarine environments within and adjacent to the Western Interior Seaway. Depositional settings ranged from marine to shoreline, deltaic, river channel, floodplain, and swamp environments.

Paleontology and age
The age of the Monach Formation has been determined from its fossil fauna, primarily species of the bivalve Buchia.

Thickness and distribution
The Monach Formation is present in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies and the adjacent plains in northeastern British Columbia. It extends from the Chowade River in the north, to south of the Sukunka River where it grades into the Gorman Creek Formation. It attains a maximum thickness of  in the foothills, and thins to zero about  or less beyond the eastern edge of the foothills where it was removed by erosion prior to the deposition of the Cadomin Formation.

Relationship to other units
The Monach Formation is part of the Minnes Group. It was deposited conformably on the Beattie Peaks Formation and is conformably overlain by the Bickford Formation, both of which also belong to the Minnes Group. To the east where it was removed by erosion, the Monach Formation is unconformably overlain by the Cadomin Formation. To the south it grades into the Gorman Creek Formation.

title: Hulcross Formation

text:
The Hulcross Formation is a geologic formation in the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin in northeastern British Columbia that was deposited in marine environments during the late Albian stage of the Early Cretaceous period. At one time considered to be a member of the Commotion Formation, it was elevated to formation status by D.F. Stott in 1982. It preserves ammonites and other fossils.

Lithology
The Hulcross Formation consists of dark grey to black shales and mudstones that were deposited in marine environments. The sediments coarsen upward and thin beds of siltstone and platy sandstone are present in the uppermost part. Sideritic ironstone concretions are common.

Thickness and Distribution
The Hulcross Formation is present in northeastern British Columbia throughout the foothills of the Canadian Rockies between the Peace and Kakwa Rivers, where it reaches thicknesses of up to . It is exposed along the Peace River eastward from the foothills almost as far as its confluence with the Halfway River.

Relationship to Other Units
The Hulcross Formation is part of the Fort St. John Group. Originally described as a member of the Commotion Formation, the Hulcross was elevated to formational status along with the other members of the Commotion by D.F. Stott in 1982, who proposed that the term 'Commotion Formation' be abandoned.

The shales of the Hulcross abruptly overlie the sandstones of the Gates Formation and grade into the overlying sandstones of the Boulder Creek Formation.  It is equivalent to the Harmon Member of the Peace River Formation in the Peace River plains to the east, and to the Wildhorn Member of the Scatter Formation in the Liard River region.

title: Beaver Mines Formation

text:
The Beaver Mines Formation is a stratigraphic unit of Early Cretaceous (Albian) age in the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin that is present in southwestern Alberta and southeastern British Columbia, Canada. It was established by G.B. Mellon in 1967 who named it for the hamlet of Beaver Mines, Alberta. It contains a variety of plant fossils.

Lithology
Fine- to coarse-grained greenish-grey sandstone interbedded with greenish-grey mudstone and siltstone, and lesser amounts of conglomerate, bentonite, and tuff. Some conglomerate beds contain pebbles of volcanic origin. Minor argillaceous limestone is present at the top in some areas. The sandstones are feldspathic, in contrast to the quartzose sandstones of the overlying Ma Butte Formation.

Environment of deposition and paleontology
The Beaver Mines Formation was deposited in floodplain and fluvial channel environments by meandering river systems. It contains a variety of plant fossils including remains of ferns, cycads, cycadeoids, Ginkgos and extinct conifers, but remains of flowering plants do not appear until the overlying Ma Butte Formation.

Distribution and thickness
The Beaver Mines Formation is present in the southern foothills of southwestern Alberta and southeastern British Columbia and extends as far north as the Clearwater River where it grades into the Gates Formation of the Luscar Group. It reaches a maximum thickness of about  at Ma Butte north of the Crowsnest Pass.

Relationship to other units
The Beaver Mines Formation is part of the Blairmore Group. It disconformably overlies the Gladstone Formation and grades into the Gates Formation of the Luscar Group north of the Clearwater River. It is disconformably overlain by the Ma Butte Formation in the southern foothills and by the Blackstone Formation north of the Red Deer River. To the east, it is correlated with the upper part of the Mannville Group.

title: Boulder Creek Formation

text:
The Boulder Creek Formation is a geologic formation in northeastern British Columbia. It was named for a tributary to Commotion Creek in the Pine Pass area by E.M. Spieker in 1921. At one time considered to be a member of the Commotion Formation, it was elevated to formation status by D.F. Stott in 1982.

The formation was deposited in shallow marine to shoreline environments during the Albian stage of the Early Cretaceous period. It preserves ammonites, plant remains, and other fossils.

Lithology and Environment of Deposition
The Boulder Creek Formation records the transition from marine conditions, represented by the shales of the underlying Hulcross Formation, to continental environments, with a return to marine conditions marked by the shales of the overlying Hasler Formation. Near shore and shoreface deposits consist of massive, fine grained, well sorted sandstones, and massive, silica-cemented conglomerates of quartz and chert pebbles in a matrix of coarse sand. Delta plain and floodplain deposits consist of interbedded argillaceous sandstones, carbonaceous shales and thin coal beds.

Thickness and Distribution
Outcrops of the Boulder Creek Formation can be seen along the Peace River eastward from Hudson's Hope, and it is present in the subsurface in the Peace River plains to the east. It is well exposed in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies between the Peace and Wapiti Rivers, where it reaches thicknesses of up to . It can be traced southward through the foothills almost as far the Kakwa River near the British Columbia-Alberta boundary.

Relationship to Other Units
The Boulder Creek Formation is part of the Fort St. John Group. Originally described as a member of the Commotion Formation, the Boulder Creek was elevated to formational status along with the other members of the Commotion by D.F. Stott in 1982, who proposed that the term 'Commotion Formation' be abandoned.

The Boulder Creek Formation conformably overlies the marine shales of the Hulcross Formation, and is conformably overlain by the marine shales of the Hasler Formation. It is equivalent to the Cadotte Member, and possibly the Paddy Member, of the Peace River Formation of the Peace River plains. It correlates with the middle part of the Buckinghorse Formation in the Muskwa River area, and with the Tussock Member of the Scatter Formation in the Liard River area. Equivalent beds may be present above the coal-bearing strata near Grande Cache.

title: 1920 Montana gubernatorial election

text:
The 1920 Montana gubernatorial election took place on November 2, 1920. Incumbent Governor of Montana Sam V. Stewart, who was first elected Governor in 1912 and 1916, declined to run for re-election. To replace him, former United States Senator Joseph M. Dixon won the Republican primary, which was closely contested. In the general election, he faced Burton K. Wheeler, the former United States Attorney for the District of Montana and the Democratic nominee. Ultimately, Dixon defeated Wheeler by a wide margin to win his first and only term as governor.

title: Devon Island Formation

text:
The Devon Island Formation is a geologic formation in the Canadian Arctic. It preserves fossils dating back to the late Silurian and Devonian periods.

The formation was originally named by Raymond Thorsteinsson for a sequence of calcareous, graptolitic mudrocks on northern Devon Island situated between the Douro Formation below and the Sutherland River Formation above. The latter formation is now considered synonymous with the Goose Fiord Formation. The Devon Island Formation extends from the west coast of Devon Island through the Grinnell Peninsula, and well across the southern part of Ellesmere Island.

title: Perillus bioculatus

text:
Perillus bioculatus, the two-spotted stink bug or double-eyed soldier bug, is a species of insect in the family Pentatomidae. They are native to North America but have been introduced to Eastern Europe and North India. Both the larval and adult stages are specialized predators of eggs and larvae of the Colorado potato beetle (Leptinotarsa decemlineata). However, the first instar larvae feed by sucking the juices out of potato stems.

title: Crown Group Holdings

text:
Crown Group Holdings is a property group that deals with the development and investment of properties in Australia. It was co-founded in 1996 by Paul Sathio and Iwan Sunito. The group is headquartered at Sydney, Australia and has branches in Indonesia.

The company was awarded NSW President's award and Best Concept Design by the Urban Development Institute of Australia.

The company had about a 4000-unit pipeline of Sydney projects.

History
The company was co-founded by engineer Paul Sathio and architect Iwan Sunito in 1996.

In 1994 Iwan Sunito established his own architecture firm, Joshua International Architects which was in 1996 amalgamated with two business partners, including current Chief Executive Officer Paul Sathio, to form Crown Group.

Properties

Crown Group has completed residential developments in locations across Sydney including Green Square, Waterloo, Sydney, North Sydney, Ryde, Bondi, Bondi Junction, Parramatta, Ashfield, Epping, Homebush, Newington, Pennant Hills and Rhodes.

The group's first development in 1996 ‘The Crown’ at Bondi Junction was a 54-unit development at Bondi Junction.

Crown Group has recently completed projects in Sydney: V by Crown Group, a 29-storey residential tower in Parramatta; Arc by Crown Group, a 25-storey tower in Sydney CBD on Clarence Street; and Skye by Crown Group, a 20-storey development in North Sydney.

In 2019, they completed two developments. The first was Infinity by Crown Group, designed by Koichi Takada Architects, which is part of the urban renewal in the Green Square town centre in Sydney and has become an architectural icon in Sydney since its completion. By 2030, City of Sydney expects Green Square to attract 40,000 new residents and 22,000 new workers.

The SJB-designed development Waterfall by Crown Group in nearby Waterloo was also finished in late 2019.

In 2020, Crown Group is expanding into the Brisbane and Melbourne property markets. Melbourne's housing market is set to eclipse Sydney's in 2020 fuelled by a stronger economy and higher population growth.  It is also expanding into Los Angeles, USA, with a proposed residential tower in Downtown, designed by Koichi Takada Architects.

There are two new mixed-use residential communities under development in Sydney.

Mastery by Crown Group is being developed in partnership with Mitsubishi Estate Asia at Waterloo. The residential, retail and dining precinct has a Japanese design aesthetic and theme. One building is designed by Japanese architect Kengo Kuma and the other four buildings by Sydney firms Koichi Takada Architects and Sylvester Fuller.

Construction is underway on Eastlakes Live by Crown Group in Sydney’s inner-south.

Designed by internationally acclaimed architects Francis-Jones Morehen Thorp (fjmt), the new Eastlakes precinct will have more than 400 apartments planned and a new shopping centre and dining precinct. Construction began in October 2018 on stage one and is expected to be completed in early 2021.

Hotels
Crown Group's boutique hotel chain, SKYE Suites, currently has two hotels in operation; SKYE Suites Parramatta and SKYE Suites Sydney CBD.

In mid-2020 the company will open a third 90-room hotel within their development Infinity by Crown Group called SKYE Suites Green Square.
