PA Rep. Manny Guzman, Shut Down Berks go to D.C. in next phase of their fight against migrant detention

A letter signed by 50 elected officials across Pennsylvania was hand delivered to the president demanding an end to the ICE contract with the Berks County Residential Center.
PA Rep. Manny Guzman, Shut Down Berks go to D....
By Brittany Valentine
On Wednesday, July 28, the immigrants rights organization Make the Road PA hand delivered a letter to President Joe Biden's staff, urging him and Vice President Kamala Harris to terminate the ICE contract at Berks County Residential Center.
The letter, spearheaded by State Rep. Manny Guzman, and signed by more than 50 elected officials across the state of Pennsylvania, was delivered by Maegan Llerena, the director of Make the Road PA.
The letter reads:
"It's been five months since the last set of previously detained families were freed to their loved ones and sponsors. The facility should permanently end the egregious practice of family detention once and for all."#ShutDownBerks https://t.co/ors5Co8tbB
— Detention Watch (DWN) (@DetentionWatch) July 29, 2021
The center was emptied five months ago, but the signing officials warn that the battle for a permanent shut down is not over.
Berks county manages the facility and is reimbursed by the federal government. In return, ICE leases space and provides about $1 million in revenue annually to the county.
Immigration advocates, lawyers and community members have been fighting for its closure for years, particularly Make the Road PA and the Shut Down Berks Coalition.
Proud to have co-signed this letter, and to support @MakeTheRoadPA in their fight to #ShutDownBerks and achieve #Citizenship4All! https://t.co/vaF2vWnNn5
— Helen Gym (@HelenGymAtLarge) July 28, 2021
Despite evidence of sexual assault, medical negligence and inhumane living conditions, the detention center managed to stay open until February of 2021.
Berks County commissioners secretly deliberated about the future of the center, and ultimately decided on transforming it into a detention center for women migrants.
The officials, however, find no comfort or satisfaction in the plan. The intention of the years-long fight to free the detained families was not to transform the space into another jail.
"We unequivocally stand against new plans to detain, process, incarcerate or subject immigrant women or any other people to federal actions within the facility," Rep. Guzman wrote.
Instead, he suggested that the center be repurposed into a house programming that would benefit the lives of those in the community.
No more time to play games! #shutdownberks https://t.co/qVoo42N0XX
— Rep. Manuel Guzman (@Manny_Guzman610) July 28, 2021
In the letter, elected leaders honed in on the fact that it's been five months since the last group of previously detained families were released to their loved ones and sponsors, and that it's time to end this "egregious" practice of family detention for good.
"Incarcerating immigrants — whether they be families, children, or individual adults - is cruel, inhumane, abusive, unnecessary and immoral. It is a violation not only of American civil liberties but also of international human rights," Guzman said.
In April of 2021, Lorena, a mother who was detained in Berks County residential center for more than 700 days with her toddler son, joined the Shut Down Berks Coalition to share a personal message to Biden.
Lorena wrote about how devastating it was to not have freedom, and to always be in custody.
"It causes great harm to the families; I say this from personal experience. I was there for more than a year," she wrote.
Lorena wrote that she would also like to see the space converted into something other than a jail — a center that would do good for the community, and that the time to break the cycle of abuse, suffering and unnecessary detention is now.
"Because it is true that we came with trauma from our own country only to end up in another place with more trauma. My wish, with all my heart, is that the center be closed and that not one [more] family, not one [more] child, is there because it is difficult to be there," Lorena wrote.
We're glad President Biden promised to read our letter + fight for #Citizenship4All in the budget—now we need action to support his words.
RT + tell @POTUS it's time to #ShutDownBerks + end the contract w ICE, so this facility can finally benefit the Berks community. pic.twitter.com/UAOhxYK4xs
— Make the Road PA (@MakeTheRoadPA) July 28, 2021
According to Llerena, President Biden agreed to read the letter and continue pushing Congress to pass legislation that would provide immigrants a clear pathway to citizenship.
"Now, we are asking President Biden to put action behind his words, by closing the Berks Detention Center and ending the contract with ICE, so this facility can finally benefit our community instead of harm it," Llerena said in a Shut Down Berks press release.

Bigger is better says motor industry
11 Mar 2013Save | Email | Print | PDF
Growing affluence in emerging markets is good news for manufacturers of gas-guzzling vehicles.
Though the trend in mature markets is towards compact, fuel-efficient vehicles, the motor industry is betting that consumers in developing economies will continue to demand big and brash cars.
That is one of the findings of the 2013 annual automotive executive survey by global consultancy group KPMG The survey, based on interviews with 200 of the world's leading motor industry decision makers, was published last week.
Ashleigh Raine-Botha, industry research manager at KPMG SA, says recession and climbing fuel prices are forcing consumers around the world to reassess their reasons for buying vehicles. Fuel efficiency will play an overwhelming part in those decisions in coming years. Safety, comfort, styling and environmental friendliness are also important but executives say there is now also a powerful demand swing for vehicles that last longer.
According to the report: "Consumers are looking for more efficient, longer-lasting cars, primarily to save costs."
The need for fuel efficiency and cost containment is most apparent in mature markets like Japan, the US and Western Europe. Nearly 60% of executives say consumers there will want more entry-level and compact cars.
The bigger the vehicles, the more demand they expect from new markets like China, Russia, India and Africa. Two-thirds expect increased sales in these areas for sports utility vehicles like the BMW X5 and Nissan Pathfinder, but there is also strong support for vans, bakkies, sports cars and large sedans.
This doesn't mean sales of these vehicles will outstrip those of small cars - merely that the new wealth in emerging economies is creating a class of buyer more interested in status and performance than in cost and sustainability.
The last two, however, will drive most power-train investment in the global motor industry over the next five years. Hybrid (a combination of petrol and electric) may be seen as a leading technology for the long-term future but companies won't be giving up on the traditional internal combustion engine quite yet.
The biggest slice of investment up to 2018 is expected to go into making combustion engines smaller and more efficient, often through turbo-boosting.
These engines have the added advantage that they are often cleaner-burning than hybrids and produce fewer harmful exhaust emissions. Executives interviewed for the KPMG report believe they will retain their advantage for the next decade.
Hybrids and electric cars will also be the beneficiaries of multi-billion-dollar research budgets. In many cases, rival manufacturers are sharing development to minimise costs. However, by some estimates, hybrid and electric cars will account for no more than 15% of global car sales by 2020. Some analysts put the figure as low as 5%.
As urbanisation gathers pace - over half the world's population already lives in cities - and travel distances diminish, demand for alternative power sources is expected to increase.
The growing importance of developing economies to the motor industry is underlined in the report by the fact that SA has, for the first time, become a significant market for global executives. Most expect it to steadily increase both sales and production, at a time when many established production centres are expected to decline.
Gavin Maile, head of KPMG's African automotive practice, says that if SA sales and production in 2013 achieve forecast growth, it will represent one of the industry's best years ever.
Figures released this week by the National Association of Automobile Manufacturers of SA show that domestic sales of new vehicles in the first two months of 2013 were up 7,5%, while exports grew 32%.

This is the song that made me a Jigga stan. Damn, he just went in on this beat for like 4 minutes. . .
Although Jigga is fantastic on this beat, in my opinion Cormega has flipped it even better, with the "fallen soldiers" track. Maybe, however, it's the subject matter that made me think that way. Why don't you make it a "who flipped it better series"? Props!


Well, ever had a slow computer, then you should run defragment programs on it.
In my experience diskeeper, have seriours problems with stability.
I have tried to install it on severel computers, with the same result.
Slower upstart, and a boot optimizer that did work, sice it just stalled, and did nothing fore severel hours.
I can only warn about this program, but potential users.

Interesting facts about Málaga that you almost certainly did not know
Posted by Fuerte Hoteles on Tuesday, January 10, 2023 · Leave a Comment
Málaga is one of the most popular Spanish cities to visit, since it has more than 300 sunny days a year. It is an ideal setting with an exceptional climate, which both Spaniards and foreigners look for in the capital of the Costa del Sol.
But this city is not only characterised by its enviable climate, but is also home to a history that has left us with a number of sites, amazing secrets and interesting facts about Málaga which we can discover.
Málaga is a city that everybody who visits falls in love with and we are not surprised, since it is full of traditions and culture that have continued over time and have made the history of this city and of its people remain present, and are an attraction for thousands and thousands of tourists.
Tourism in Málaga is becoming ever bigger, not only for its coastal landscapes and leisure offering, but also for its wealth of cultural and natural heritage. Furthermore, the people's customs have made it one of the cities with a singularity and a special charm.
So, here is a long list of things to see in Málaga so you can enjoy the corners and the places with most history, in addition to its customs and people, which will make your days in this Costa del Sol city unforgettable.
Malaga facts – Historical and architectural
La 'Manquita'
Malaga's Cathedral is one of those essential places to visit in a tour through the city of Malaga. It is called Santa Iglesia Catedral Basílica de la Encarnación but it is popularly known as "La Manquita". Its construction began in 1528 and its works lasted 250 years. However, the Cathedral remained unfinished, the most significant being the lack of the South Tower.
Looking at the Malaga's Cathedral facades, which began with Gothic style and ended mixing Renaissance and Baroque styles, we can see the complex construction process that it had until the end of the 18th century.
El Puente de los Alemanes (The Bridge of the Germans)
The history goes back to December 1900 when a storm wrecked the German frigate Gneisenau. Many Malaga citizens tried to save the sailors, some of the rescuers lost their lives. This action earned Malaga the title of "Muy Hospitalaria" (Very Welcoming) that holds today.
Years later, in 1907, the river Guadalmedina overflowed, destroying the existing bridges. The German people, upon hearing about this, decided to return the favor and began collecting for the construction of the "Puente de los Alemanes" (Bridge of the Germans).
The British clocks of the Malaga Subway
Malaga Subway clocks do not display 60 seconds, but 59. They have a British style seconds' hand by which the hand comes to the end and rather than continuing, pauses and then it's the minute hand that marks this second. This system is used in British stations to indicate exactly the departure of the trains.
El cenachero
The cenachero is one of the city's symbols. Makes reference to a trade that has already disappeared from Malaga, in which the fishermen sold their fresh fish through the city with a basket of esparto hung from their shoulders.
Lorca and the Pasaje de Chinitas
No lover of good literature should ignore the visit to one of the most cherished urban spaces by Malaga citizens. Here stood the famous Café de Chinitas, a sort of varieties theater – closed on several occasions due to public scandal – that was brilliantly immortalized by the great Lorca in his well-known verses:
"At Café de Chinitas/Paquiro told his brother:/I'm braver than you, more torero and more Gypsy"…
Café de Chinitas is currently in Madrid. Located in Calle Torija, 7; but is still owned by the Verdasco family.
Malaga and its Roman theater at the foot of the Alcazaba (Citadel)
Also in this, Malaga is unique in the world and the capital is so rich in historical remains that the three most important cultures – Jewish, Arabic and Roman – have left in it a phenomenal imprint.
Constitución Square
This is one of Málaga's places par excellence. It was a hub and as well as having had different names up to the current one, it was home to the Town Hall, the prison, a convent and numerous buildings of interest which have been located on this famous square.
Today, Constitución Square is in a pedestrian zone, very close to the most emblematic street in Málaga: calle Larios. This street, full of businesses and bars and restaurants is where your tour of this square ends.
While many of the buildings of tourist interest are no longer located here, this square remains one of the epicentres of culture, since it still hosts ceremonies and events of a different kind, such as Malagan Holy Week and the fair.
What's more, due to its location, it is very close to the city's historic centre, and so is where people and tourists pass through as they stroll the wonderful streets of the city centre, in addition to being the place into which four of the busiest streets flow.
It is undoubtedly one of the liveliest places in the whole city.
Discover inland Málaga
Málaga province is home to 103 municipalities, which make city's cultural and natural heritage great.
This city is not just known for coastal tourism, but also for the natural wealth it possesses. Many tourists seek peace and quiet and want to get away from the bustle of the city, and find in the interior of Málaga the perfect paradise to enjoy the fresh air and nature.
If we take a tour of the interior, we find ourselves in Campillos with the King's Little Path. It is one of the biggest attractions in the province and many enjoy the flora and fauna, and the incredibly emblematic landscape that is drawn by this little path.
The Fuente Piedra lagoons are another interesting fact we find in Málaga province. These lagoons are the place of rest and passage of endless species of birds. In addition to watching some of these species from the observatories, the natural enclave is ideal for walking and enjoying nature.
Another of the more charming villages in the interior is Frigiliana. Its cobbled streets and white houses make it a perfect fit for the white villages route of Málaga. This village's beauty attracts thousands of tourists who start their tour of Frigiliana on calle Real and enjoy numerous pottery and traditional shops, and restaurants where they savour the best dishes of Malagan gastronomy.
Malaga Coat of arms
The Malaga coat of arms was awarded by the Catholic Kings after the conquest, on August 30, 1494. In it are recorded the initials: TM, which means "Tanto Monta" abbreviation of "Tanto monta cortar como desatar" (It doesn't matter if you cut it or untie it) famous phrase used by King Fernando The Catholic.
Also, in the upper part, the Saints and Martyrs from Malaga, Ciriaco and Paula, in prayer.
Malaga releases a prisoner every year by Easter
Did you know that was after a great epidemic in the city of Malaga and that did not afflict the prison or its prisoners. Seeing that the procession of the image of Jesus El Rico was not taking place, they asked to the prison warden to let them out but he did not accept. They mutinied and took the image in procession and subsequently all returned to the prison but one. This prisoner took the head of San Bautista Degollado, that was one of the Jesuit's relics, to the prison on the day following the procession to ask him to heal a companion of his that was sick. Carlos III, informed of this generous attitude of the prisoner, issued a Royal Privilege, during the procession of "El Rico" freedom was granted to a prisoner.
The Easter Week processions in Andalucia you can't afford to miss
English Cemetery
Malaga's English Cemetery, the oldest Protestant cemetery in Spain and, without a doubt, the most important. It is a deeply historical place that is located just in the heart of the city and that attracts every day to hundreds of restless tourists.
The Anglican Cemetery or San Jorge Cemetery, was built in the 19th century in the Cañada de los Ingleses. Part of its interest lies in that it is, no more and no less, the first Protestant Cemetery in Spain built since 1821.
La "Desbandá" (The Scattering)
During the Spanish Civil War, after the entry of Franco's troops in the city, thousands of Malaga citizens fled towards Almeria. This was known as "the massacre of the road of Almeria", one of the most egregious acts of the civil war where thousands of people died.
'Earth Wide Walk'
The first Spanish to take a tour around the globe on foot was the Malaga citizen Nacho Dean Mouliaá. He started his journey on March 21, 2013 and returned three years later. He was alone on his trip, accompanied only by a cart with his stuff, he had few resources, but he didn't need much, all he took was his curiosity, his desire to know the world and his concern for the environment.
Malaga's Lighthouse
Malaga's Lighthouse, together with Mar's lighthouse in Tenerife, we can say that they transgress the typical lighthouse name that is given in all of Spain to these maritime signaling systems. They are the only lighthouses of the female gender. Built by the engineer Joaquín María Pery y Guzmán. It is of one of the two lighthouses with a female name that exist in Spain.
Osborne Bulls
The Osborne Bulls are very popular and well known to all. These structures have become a Pop-Art benchmark, and the curious thing about this is that in Andalusia they were declared Bien de Interés Cultural (Culturally Interesting). In all the Spanish territory, you will see 88 of these structures and Malaga has three: in Vélez Málaga, Casabermeja and Fuengirola.
Malaga facts – Gastronomic and cultural
El Pimpi
El Pimpi, one of the most unique places in Malaga. In its origins was probably the first dancing bar of Costa del Sol, also a convent. Today is a magnificent restaurant, where you can enjoy local gastronomy and wines. You can also meet part of the history of the place and of beautiful Malaga.
"Pimpi" refers to a very popular character for tourism in Malaga, which helped the crews and passengers of various vessels arriving to the port.
Ask for a coffee in Malaga
It is usual that when a Malaga citizen leaves its province suffers since no one can understand it. It is typical to ask for a Cloud, shadow, half, short, semi-short, long, semi-long, it's nothing more than the proportion of coffee or milk that you put in your cup. Today, asking for a coffee is a sign of Malaga identity.

Why Malaga citizens are called anchovies
This fact is a classic but we don't want to leave it out for that reason. Not everybody knows that this nickname is because the 'pescaíto frito' (fried fish) par excellence in Malaga is the anchovy. A culinary specialty wherever you go within the Malaga territory.
The European anchovy, the protagonist of the Málaga cuisine
Málaga province is home to many wonders, which include its culinary quality. In Málaga today there are several Michelin stars, making the province a highly appreciated gastronomic destination.
Espetos (Sardine skewers)
Sardine skewers are the greatest exponent of Málaga cuisine. It is a delicacy that is greatly appreciated both by visitors and locals. Not for nothing is it practically the cultural hallmark of the province. We should also highlight the monument to the sardine cook which is located at La Misericordia Beach.
Espetos. The sardine ones are a Malaga cuisine classic
A Flamenco Guinness world record
In 2018, 3,920 people gathered on calle Larios to dance bulerías for 10 minutes. This choreography was deemed worthy of being in the Guinness World Records.
37 museums
We are not talking about one, or two, not even three or four… If we combine the words Málaga and museum, we have to mention the 37 museums that are located in the capital. And while the most famous are the Picasso and the Pompidou, the city is also home to the Thyssen (spectacular) and the Ruso (one of the most curious). There are also a multitude of very interesting cultural centres, like the Glass Museum and the Wine Museum.
Discover the 12 most important museums in Málaga
Calle Larios, one of the prettiest streets in Europe
The origin of calle Larios lies in the idea of connecting Málaga Port with the centre. It is the fifth most expensive commercial street in Spain and it is usually thought that the entrance begins where it joins the Alameda Principal, but it is actually at Constitución Square. It is 984 feet long and 52 feet wide and is named for Manuel Domingo Larios, the second Marquess of Larios.
Every 4th of July, the independence of the United States is celebrated at Plaza del Obispo. Spain supported its independence from the beginning through the military figure of Bernardo de Gálvez.
Bernardo de Gálvez y Madrid was a soldier from Malaga. He fought along with the United States, against the English, in Pensacola. For being considered a hero, a city with his name was founded in his honor, Galveston, in the State of Texas.
Malaga's Pompidou, the first location outside France
Over than 100,000 visitors passed by this avant-garde museum this last month of August and that's no surprise because "The Cube" houses a collection so ambitious as varied, from Leger, Magritte and Frida Kahlo to Brancusi, Giacometti, Tàpies or Miró.
Malaga's Fair
The fair of Malaga has its origin in the incorporation of Malaga to the Crown of Castile by the Catholic Kings, that entered in the city on August 19, 1487.
The Biznaga (Jasmin posy)
The biznaga is one of the city's symbols, uniting beauty and perfume in a single element. It involves placing a bouquet of jasmines in the stem of a dry thistle. The biznagueros sell our biznaga in the summer nights.
Picasso in the Book of Records
You can't talk about Málaga without naming the master of masters, but a slightly different take on his legacy which you will surely be interested to know before visiting his museum and house is that the prolific painter unintentionally appears in the Guinness World Records, since his collection comprises 13,500 paintings, 100,000 prints, 34,000 illustrations and 300 sculptures.
Here is a route through Málaga which allows you to dive into the day-to-day life of Pablo Ruiz Picasso
Regional expressions
Malagan regional expressions are perhaps among the most curious and peculiar, and form part of and give the capital of the Costa del Sol that cultural value.
There are many expressions that have passed from generation to generation and other more current ones which are typical of Malagan people and which you will only hear in this city.
In any other part of Spain, if you're very hungry you say you're starving, however, Malagans say esmallao. And if you're not on the alert, you're alobao, and if today you're apathetic, you're aplatanao, but if you're in a rush, you're bulla.
There are many or, as they would say here, a pechá of expressions which are only used in Málaga and which have given this city a special wealth and singularity.
If you want to know more about these Malagan regional expressions so you can try to pass as a local, here is a list of amazing sayings.
Malaga and its film festival
If there is an event of importance within the Spanish film industry is the Malaga Spanish Film Festival. It is a platform that every year struggles for the promotion and dissemination of the tireless work of the Spanish audiovisual sector. This festival encourages all kinds of discussions and presentations that also unveil its potential difficulties. In this sense, the Biznaga de Oro is currently a very coveted award (if not more) like the Goya.
It is a type of wind very common in Malaga, a warm wind that hits the city and the coast in the summer months, rising the temperatures.
It is the oldest of the Malaga songs. Consists of a particular sung and danced fandango. It is accompanied of a small orchestra composed by a violin, from two to four guitars, a tambourine, two or more pairs of cymbals, several castanets and, in some of its styles, a lute or bandurria.
With this dance, men courted the women during the verdial olives harvest.
The power of Malaga Wine
Who could resist to accompany a tapa from Pimpi with a good Malaga wine? This happens because in Malaga there are 45 wineries and 265 denominations. As is commonly known, in Malaga it is typical to go out to a terrace and gather around a good plate of fried fish with friends or family, so in this province the wine fulfils almost a social role.
Wine Route of the essential wineries in Malaga
The origin of the Costa del Sol
The expression Costa del Sol, contrary to what it might seem doesn't has its origin in Spain but we must move to Austria, no more and no less.
It is said that this name was given by an Austrian consul that lived in Cadiz and travelled regularly along the coast to Almería and that was surprised to see the amazing weather that he always enjoyed when passing along the coast of Malaga.
The first Spanish industrial city
The province of Malaga was, during the Industrial Revolution, one of the most advanced Spanish regions, especially in the foundry sector, an example of this is the famous Larios family saga. Malaga during this time had dozens of factories so it became the first industrial city of the Iberian Peninsula.
The opening of Puerto Banús
Currently, Puerto Banus is a worldwide event, and a good example of this is that you could see the major personalities of that time at its opening: the actors Tony Curtis and Sean Connery, Prince Rainier of Monaco and Grace Kelly, Onassis or a young Julio Iglesias, among other very prominent figures on the international scene.
If you decide to visit the Costa del Sol and enjoy the city of Málaga, there's nothing better than staying in a prestigious hotel. El Fuerte Marbella offers you all kinds of services and amenities in the heart of this town in Marbella. It is an environmentally-friendly locale that offers all kinds of services. On the other hand, if you prefer to see the east, you can do so by staying in the Olée Holiday Rentals Apartments between Torrox and Nerja, typical Andalusian villages with the best climate in Europe.
This chain has over 60 years of experience as a leading chain. Holidays with friends, with family or friends, however you choose to travel fits these hotels perfectly.

Bakhtawar Singh Thapa () also spelled Bhaktawar, was a Nepalese military commander, politician, and governor. He acted as an aide of his brother Mukhtiyar Bhimsen Thapa and was appointed the commander of Samar Jung Company. He commanded the Bijayapur-Sindhuli Gadhi Axis in the first campaign of Anglo-Nepalese War and Makwanpur Gadhi Axis in the second campaign. Later, he became the governor of Palpa and died in the office.

Early life

Bakhtawar Singh Thapa was born to military officer Kaji Amar Singh Thapa (sanu) and Satyarupa Maya. He was the brother of Mukhtiyar Bhimsen Thapa and had other three brothers - Nain Singh Thapa, Amrit Singh Thapa, and Ranabir Singh Thapa. From his step-mother, he had two brothers—Ranbam and Ranzawar. His ancestors were members of Bagale Thapa clan from Jumla who migrated eastwards. His grandfather was Bir Bhadra Thapa, a courtier in Prithvi Narayan Shah's army.

Career

Commander of the Palace
After the Bhandarkhal Massacre of 1806, the Samar Jung Company was selected as royal palace guard by Mukhtiyar Bhimsen Thapa. Bakhtawar Singh was appointed as the commander of the company to be camped inside the palace for the protection of King Girvan Yuddha Bikram Shah and Queen Tripurasundari of Nepal. In the maturity of King Girvan Yuddha Bikram Shah and Queen Tripurasundari of Nepal, Kaji Bakhtawar slowly gained confidence out of both from his role of their protector. The death of King Girvan Yuddha Bikram Shah and his two queens in 1816 had caused his hopes to be destroyed. After the end of Anglo-Nepalese war, Kaji Bakhtawar was suspected by his brother Bhimsen Thapa to have joined the enemy factions. At the time, he was living in the same family with his brother without the division of their ancestral property. Bhimsen slowly brought Kaji Bakhtawar under his control but their mother pleaded only a light punishment for Bakhtawar. He was dismissed from his position and was imprisoned in the Nuwakot prison and the Bakhtawar's Samar Jung Company was heavily disfavored by the Mukhtiyar.

Anglo-Nepalese War
Bakhtawar was the commander of Bijaypur-Sindhuli Gadhi axis during the first campaign of the Anglo-Nepalese war. He was stationing the fort and the region by 2000 soldiers. In the second campaign, he was commanding his headquarter at Makwanpur Gadhi. He sent the final ratified document of Sugali Treaty to British India Company after the Hitaura camp of Major General David Ochterlony on 4 March 1816.

Governor of Palpa
A letter dated March 1824 to his brother Mukhtiyar Bhimsen Thapa shows Bakhtawar Singh as the governor of Palpa. Members of the Thapa dynasty were appointed as the governor of Palpa because it controlled over 4 battalions of the Nepalese Army. Bakhtawar Singh died in his office of Chief Administrator of Palpa in 1832 A.D.

Family

Son
His son Trivikram Singh Thapa became Acting Chief Administrator of Palpa in 1832 A.D. on death of his father. However, Bhimsen Thapa did not trust Trivikram Singh and instead appointed his brother Ranabir Singh Thapa as Chief Administrator of Palpa in March 1833. Trivikram Singh was affectionately referred as Kaji Mama ("Kaji Uncle") by the Shamsher Ranas. After the Kot Massacre, he occupied the Lazimpat Durbar for 28 years until he left for Varanasi in 1875.

Wife
The widow of Bakhtawar Singh on 1839 presented evidences against the former Mukhtiyar and her brother-in-law Bhimsen Thapa claiming the former Mukhtiyar responsible for poisoning of King Girvan Yuddha Bikram Shah, whom it was widely known to have died from smallpox.

A: It looks like you have some zfs pools and a linux raid.  Try:
sudo zpool import

note the name of the pool(s), then for each pool use it as poolname in the following command
sudo zpool import poolname

This should get some of your filessystems back.  If you are still missing shares then let us know.

A: sudo zpool import elements
This was the solution - I feel the fool - need to write down zpool info and not do it in the middle of the night
