RuSHA SA was the Nazi program to exploit its super-human population, called Übermenschen (literally "Over-men" or "Super-men"). It sought to create them, harden them, and send them to war against the Allied super-human population, called "Talents". Like much of the Third Reich, its history was marked by cruelty, corruption, deception, and intrigue.

Patagonia (clothing)
Type | Private benefit corporation |
Industry | Retail |
Founded | 1973 |
Headquarters | Ventura, California, U.S. |
Key people | Yvon Chouinard |
Products | Outdoor apparel |
Revenue | 500 Million (2012) |
Employees | 1289 (2007) |
Website | patagonia.com |
Patagonia, Inc. is a Ventura, California-based clothing company, focusing mainly on high-end outdoor clothing. The company is a member of several environmental movements and is a certified B-Corporation,[1] meaning the company is beholden to public-benefit concerns (in this case environmental) alongside its profit motive. It was founded by Yvon Chouinard in 1973.
The logo is the skyline of Cerro Fitzroy looking west in Patagonia.
The company's roots are in clothing for rock and alpine climbing, but they now offer a diverse mix of apparel targeted towards skiers, surfers, climbers, and others. Patagonia employs a flex-time policy, allowing employees to take time off to go surfing.[2] One of its main product lines is the Capilene base layer clothing. Patagonia recently started making surf-specific products, and currently has three different lines of wetsuits and many different models of swim trunks.
Though Patagonia is considered to be a sport-specific apparel manufacturer, some of the company's most popular products are general apparel. Patagonia fleeces, rain jackets, and coats are some of the most widely-worn products in the outdoor apparel industry. Patagonia received two National Geographic Adventure Blog "Gear of the Year" awards in 2010[3] and holds "Editor's Choice" and "Top Pick" awards from OutdoorGearLab,.[4]
Environmental activism[edit]
Patagonia is a major contributor to environmental groups. Patagonia commits 1% of their total sales or 10% of their profit, whichever is more, to environmental groups. Since 1985, when the program was first started, Patagonia has donated $46 million in cash and in-kind donations to domestic and international grassroots environmental groups making a difference in their local communities.[5][better source needed]
Patagonia co-founded 1% For the Planet, an alliance of businesses which, like Patagonia, commit at least 1% of their total sales to the environment.[citation needed]
Patagonia often features their environmental campaigns in their catalogs and advertisements. Many of their recent campaigns include work with preventing oil drilling in the Alaska Wildlife Refuge, "Ocean As A Wilderness", and "Don't Dam Patagonia".
In early 2008, Patagonia won the 'Eco Brand of the Year' award at the Volvo Ecodesign Forum during the ISPO Trade Show in Munich.[6]
Patagonia also demonstrates their environmental consciousness in the design and construction of their facilities. An example is their Reno Nevada Service Center which employs green design and technologies to initially achieve a LEED Silver[7] and then later Gold certification.[5][8]
Patagonia Initiatives[edit]
Patagonia focuses on helping the environment.[9] Patagonia donates 1% of sales to environmental groups every year, and has encouraged other companies to do the same through its 1% For the Planet alliance.[5] In addition to large global initiatives, Patagonia also supports several smaller initiatives such as the World Trout Initiative,[10] Environmental Internships,[11] the Conservation Alliance,[12] and the Organic Exchange.[13][better source needed] Recently, Patagonia launched a worldwide recycling initiative called the Common Threads Recycling Program and has a site devoted to the explanation of their recycling process called The Footprint Chronicles.[5]
1% For the Planet[edit]
1% For the Planet was established in 2002 by Yvon Chouinard and Craig Mathews to bring together companies that wanted to help the environment and to encourage other companies to do the same.[citation needed] Members range from small to large companies from all over the world. Spawned from Patagonia's original policy of contributing 1% of all sales to environmental organizations since 1985, the 1,486 members of 1% For the Planet each contribute 1% of their total sales to over 2,000 different environmental organizations every year.[5]
World Trout Initiative[edit]
Developed by Yvon Chouinard and James Prosek in 2005, the World Trout Initiative works to protect the endangered fish of the world through grants to organizations that protect threatened fish.[10] The mission of the World Trout Initiative is to "identify the individuals and groups that protect native fish, to tell their story and to support their conservation efforts by placing money into the hands of the actual groups protecting the fish."[14] In the past year alone the World Trout Initiative has granted $75,000 for Fish and Habitat Enhancement, according to FlyFishMagazine.[15]
Environmental Internships[edit]
Patagonia started their Environmental Internships program in 1993. A Patagonia employee can take a leave of absence with full pay and benefits to volunteer within an environmental non-profit of their choice for up to two months.[11] Employees can work anywhere in the country on any project they want, and over 700 employees have taken advantage of this opportunity to date.[11] Patagonia does not worry about losing workers for a couple months because, according to Lu Setnicka, director of training for Patagonia, "[Patagonia] still consider[s] that they are working for Patagonia, but they are having the opportunity to bring a particular skill set to an organization that could really benefit from it, in some ways more than it would from a grant check. It also gives the employees the opportunity to dive deeper into an issue, partnering with a group that they are interested in."[16] Patagonia also states that, over the years, some employees have left the company to permanently work for the nonprofit that they interned for.[16]
Common Threads Recycling Program[edit]
The Common Threads Initiative is a partnership between the Company and customers to take mutual responsibility for the cradle to grave life of the products Patagonia makes and people purchase. Originally launched in 2005, the first goal of the program was to make every item Patagonia sells recyclable. The first recyclable item was Patagonia's Baselayers, but the program has since expanded to several other clothing items.[17] The Common Threads Recycling Program relies on both Patagonia and its customers to accomplish reducing, reusing and repairing, and recycling. The Common Threads Recycling Program allows customers to bring back any Patagonia clothing with the special Common Threads label on it and put it into the store recycling bin. Patagonia then ships the clothing to refurbishment centers around the world where the fabric is processed and turned into a new Patagonia product.[17] This reduces the amount of virgin material used for Patagonia's products. Patagonia's original goal was to make all of its clothing recyclable by fall of 2010; however, they will not reach this goal until fall of 2011 according to the Patagonia holiday catalog which features an article about the initiative.[17]
The Footprint Chronicles[edit]
This interactive website lets a customer follow a specific piece of clothing through its entire journey from production to recycle. The website is meant to give customers a glimpse into what Patagonia is doing, and leaves an open forum for customers to comment and try to make the process even better.[18] The point of the website is to show customers the good and the bad side of Patagonia, and open up to suggestions for how they can improve the processes that are still hurting the environment. The Footprint Chronicles features videos about Patagonia's social and environmental responsibility and easy-to-use contact information for customers to use.[18][19]
Patagonia Supports[edit]
The Organic Exchange[edit]
The Organic Exchange is an organization that helps promote education about and use of organic materials in clothing and industry, primarily organic cotton.[20][better source needed] Patagonia has supported this organization since its establishment in 2002, and Patagonia was one of the first companies to switch to entirely organic cotton.[13] Other large retailers, such as Nike, also support the Organic Exchange.[20]
The Conservation Alliance[edit]
Founded in 1989 by Patagonia, The North Face, REI and Kelty, the Conservation Alliance encourages outdoor sporting goods stores to contribute monetarily to environmental causes.[21] With over 170 members, 100% of the proceeds go directly to environmental organizations. In 2010 alone, the Conservation Alliance donated $900,000 to these causes.[5]
Since 2012 the animal welfare organization FOUR PAWS (Germany) has been criticizing Patagonia for using live-plucked down feathers and downs of force-fed geese.[22] In a statement on their website, Patagonia denied use of live-plucking but admitted to using down procured from the foie-gras industry. They are currently working to resolve this issue.[23]

The BigStack's narrow profile takes up the least amount of rooftop space and carries up to four boats on their sides. The BigStack is padded to protect your boat and vehicle, and the steel-reinforced arms fold down when not in use. Last but certainly not least, the word "stack" makes you think of delicious pancakes. What more could you possibly need in a stacker? |

Review: | The Yakima BigStack rack worked as advertised. It's easy to install and remove. During our last camping trip, it held all three of our kayaks safe and secure. ACK's price was the best I could find too. They delivered quickly without any issues. | ||||

Review: | Love this product and have been kicking myself for not purchasing sooner. I do multiple kayak trips weekly and am now able to carry all my friends boats. Loading and unloading is done in a matter of minutes plus no worries making a 6 hour road trip at 70+ mph! | ||||

Review: | The Yakima Big Stack worked perfectly for transporting two Riot Escape 9 kayaks. We just returned from a vacation in Florida. Driving 70-75 mph was no problem and there was no wind noise. | ||||

Review: | We use a variety of racks and systems over the years almost every day. We used the BigStack for almost a year. It finally broke. I was surprised to find that the black cradle that you tie the strap to is only pressure fitted into the shaft. It ended up snapping off. However, for someone that only kayaks once or twice a month, you could get a few years out of the BigStack. | ||||

Sorry for being a little late with this, but I just joined the club. I purchased an Eagle Cuda 350 last year and have been very pleased. It has mapping GPS built in and good resolution on the sonar. The GPS antenna is in the unit making the installation easy. It cost me just over $200 which is not bad for a multi-purpose unit. Good luck. Norm

How Are The Bucks The Best Defensive Team In The NBA?
Category: Bucks Player Features
One quote that stood out to me on Bucks media day was this one from Joe Alexander of all people:
(Defense) is not so much a path to more playing time. I think of it more as a guarantee to not play if you aren't playing defense.
Believe it or not, Scott Skiles has injected his spirit into the 2009-10 Bucks and pushed them to the top of the league in defensive rating. Two years ago the Bucks finished the season very last in the NBA in this same category. From 30th out of 30 to first in just two seasons. How did Skiles work this miracle?
It all starts with Andrew Bogut. Bogut has been criticized over the years, sometimes fairly sometimes unfairly, for failing to live up to the large expectations of being a number one pick. Specifically being a number one pick in the same draft as Chris Paul and Deron Williams, but the Aussie has really come on as a defensive player the last two years. This year Bogut leads the entire NBA in defensive rating with 88 points per 100 possessions. What's most impressive about that statistic is that the Bucks aren't shutting teams down with a slow down offense. The Bucks rank 11th in pace factor. So Bogut ranks ahead of second place Kevin Garnett by over a point every 100 possessions, even though Garnett plays for a team that ranks 25th in pace factor. Bogut is second among all centers in charges taken and tied for first in the league in charges taken per game with seven in five games.
As impressive as Bogut's charge numbers is the fact that he's still remaining a shot blocker while using his body to cut off lanes. Bogut slumped to one block a game last year after setting his career high two years ago with 1.7 a night. Bogut has returned to the level he was at two years ago with 1.6 a night this year thus far. Bogut ranks second to Marcus Camby in "defensive plays" (blocks + steals + charges drawn) per game at 3.6 per game. What opposing teams should be most scared about though, is that Bogut has yet to return to the rebounding form that allowed him to average over ten a game last year. Bogut has been stronger after a rough first two games and seems to be on the road to a nightly double double again. But Bogut along doesn't take a team from worst to first.
Having a roster of interchangeable parts keeps players on the toes and aware all the time. None of the Bucks seems unsure of their role, one possible outcome when teams are as deep as the Bucks, rather it seems to have made them more aware of their defense. Players know someone on the bench can come in and do their job. Skiles has instilled a mindset into the players so they know if they don't defend they will not be on the floor. When Hakim Warrick wasn't defending Danilo Gallinari's outside shot to start the Knicks game Saturday, Skiles wasted no time in bringing in Ersan Ilyasova.
Ilyasova has been one of the most productive players on the Bucks this year. What Ilyasova brings to the table is hard to quantify in statistics, advanced as they may be getting. While Ersan is frequently drawing charges (his three drawn rank him second to Bogut) it's his maximum effort that really stands out. Whether he is grabbing a rebound, taking a charge or going to the hole, Ersan puts everything he has into each play. When Ersan sets a screen he gets as wide a base as any player I've ever seen on the Bucks. When he sees a rebound up in the air that he won't be able to grab, he tips it and tips it until it's either his or knocks it out to a teammate waiting on the perimeter. Ersan plays the pesky defense that opposing teams hate, constantly slapping at the ball when it's exposed, trying to poke it away when it's not; there is absolutely a reason he's second on the team in fouls.
The best way to quantify how productive Ersan has been is like this: he's had a total of 23 stints in five games, in 12 of those stints the Bucks have outscored their opponent, in four they scored the same amount and in only seven have the Bucks been outscored. On the year Ersan's plus/minus is plus 37, good for second on the team (behind Charlie Bell, sometimes these things aren't perfect).
Bucks fans can bask in the glory of the moment; a team that's over .500 and the best defensive team in the NBA. While fans of Milwaukee have rarely had the opportunity to bask in anything lately, they certainly have had any fleeting moments of joy quickly blow up in their face. Will this team fall back to the pack? I wouldn't count on too far of a slip as long as the Bucks are able to remain healthy. Scott Skiles won't allow it and the players are following his lead.

Jeremy Schmidt writes the Milwaukee Bucks blog Bucksketball. He founded it in January of 2009 because he hated his job. It's like basketball, but with Bucks instead of basket. I know ... I'm sorry. He might come off as a bit negative, but I'm really not so bad. He just wants the Bucks to succeed, so he points out areas where they are coming up short. Someone has got to do it and he's ornery and opinionated enough to take on that task. He isn't sure if this should be in third person or not.

Can't see this bunch staying at #1 but they'll remain a very, very good defensive team. Love what Skiles has done, love what we're seeing from Bogut and Ilyasova, and holy crap I just realized you didn't even mention Brandon Jennings in this piece. Nice.
The moves toward a team with a lot more hustle were there to see, it's just not obvious how far that gets them. But having a team willing to work up a sweat on D is clearly Skiles' intent. And to think they took heat for not even trying to re-sign Charlie V….
And I don't know why Bell being the +/- leader surprises you, he's a Skiles player to the core. If only he could shoot….
This all started when they drafted Luc last year. Finally some defense to go with the shooters.
Speaking of shooters, have you guys seen Jefferson play with the Spurs? He's so bad at D they've benched him a few times this season. I was glad to see he and Charlie go, just wish they could have gotten more from the Jefferson trade.
If you check out the statistics web pages, you'll see the best 5 man lineup is Jennings, Bell, Delfino, Warrick and Bogut. Luc is up there too.
I'm going to take a picture of the winning record and frame it. Hope it lasts.
Bell is surprising to me because he's statistically been the Bucks worst defensive player ever since he signed his current contract. Bell gives terrific effort, but he's been limited severely over the past few years. I noticed he no longer has the huge bulky knee brace on that he had last year, perhaps that's helping him this year.
But he still has a single digit PER, so maybe this is just a mirage
Is Bell a statistically bad defender, or just bad +/-? Cuz you certainly would lose something with him not able to score, that's the plus part, no?
I've read he's finally healthy after limping thru last season, so that may have a bit to do with it.
Just to let you know, Defensive Rating has nothing to do with Pace Factor. The very nature of the statistic being adjusted for a standardized number of posessions means it is pace-adjusted.
I'm not going to worry about them not getting much back for RJ if they're going to play this well. I'll be happy they freed up the money to solidify the team in the future. I love that I can say "solidify" and not "rebuild after they let Mike Redd go." If Scott Skiles can turn these Bucks into a top-5 defensive team this season, then he should get Coach of the Year, hands-down. Defense hasn't been a prerequisite on this team since, what? 1993? 1987?

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Travel to Fairbanks
We recommend that you fly into Fairbanks International Airport (airport code FAI).
On specific days during New Student Orientation, the Nanook Shuttle (a UAF sponsored vehicle) will meet you at the airport and take you to campus housing check-in. Please visit the Orientation Travel Information for the specific times and dates that the Nanook Shuttle will be running. There is no cost for this service. The shuttle will be running a constant loop from the Fairbanks International Airport to UAF during the days when it is running. We will pick up the first flight of the day and run until the last flight of the day. Be sure to look for a sign with the New Student Orientation logo near the baggage claim area.
If you are a graduate student, you can e-mail your graduate department or supervising professor; it is not unusual for the department to makes arrangements for someone to meet a new international student. That said, we cannot guarantee that there will be someone to meet you at the airport — but the sooner you start asking and letting people know your plans, the easier it will be to make arrangements. It is also very easy to take a taxi from the airport to campus. The ride will cost about $20. Be sure to have enough cash available (in U.S. dollars), in case you need to take a taxi (only some taxis can take credit cards). If you are living in campus housing, ask the driver to take you to UAF Bartlett Hall (the dorm on the hill) for check-in.
Please note: it is important to make housing arrangements BEFORE arriving in Fairbanks so that you have somewhere to stay on arrival. See the Housing page for additional information.
When to Arrive
International students should arrive no later than August 26. This will give you time to rest after your trip to Alaska. We will be giving you a important information during orientation, and we do not want you to be too tired to remember it!
Local hotels often offer discounts to UAF students who arrive in Fairbanks before the residence halls open. When you contact them, let them know that you are a UAF student who is coming to start school, and that you learned about the discount from Orientation website.
We occassionally get questions about flying into Anchorage, and driving to Fairbanks. It is 581 kilometers (361 miles) from the Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport to the UAF campus, and it takes between 6.5 and 7 hours to drive. The drive is beautiful, and the trip takes you through Denali National Park, past Mt. McKinley/Denali (the tallest mountain on the North American continent), but going by taxi or railway will most likely cost you more than flying directly to Fairbanks.

NYPA Relicensing, Part 3: The Future of Hydropower Relicensing
Feb 21, 2001 — When the New York Power Authority began the process of relicensing its St. Lawrence power project for another 50 years of operation, it tried to be a good neighbor and invited all the stakeholders to get involved: environmentalists who wanted to improve fish habitat; boaters who wanted better docks; host communities that want compensation for their lands that were lost and flooded nearly fifty years ago. For many, relicensing has represented a once in a lifetime opportunity to right past wrongs. In the final part of David Sommerstein's series on relicensing the St. Lawrence-FDR Power Project, this cooperative approach is breaking new ground nationwide. If it works, it could set a new standard for hundreds of other relicensing efforts slated for the next ten years. Go to full article
"Save The River" on Changes in St Lawrence Ecology
Feb 21, 2001 — As David Sommerstein reports, John Farrell, president of Save the River, a citizen action group protecting the St. Lawrence, and a researcher at Syracuse University's College of Environmental Science and Forestry, talks about the effects the St. Lawrence Seaway and Power Project has had on shoreline ecology on the St. Lawrence.

NYPA Relicensing, Part 2: Taking a Risk
Feb 20, 2001 — Drive along the St. Lawrence between Ogdensburg and Massena and you'll see a mosaic of public and private property. Beautiful riverside homes sit next to state picnic areas and town beaches. New York Power Authority marinas and recreation areas share the shoreline with Mohawk tribal lands. These diverse interests share one thing in common: the water in the wide St. Lawrence and 37 miles of its shoreline are used to make two million kilowatts of electricity at the St. Lawrence-FDR Power Project near Massena. Nearly fifty years ago, the project flooded thousands of acres of marshes, farms, businesses, and houses. A series of public meetings began almost five years ago to hear from stakeholders looking for compensation as the New York Power Authority seeks a license to operate the project for another 50 years. After all the bargaining, when the Power Authority released a draft of its application in January, some groups cried foul and accused the Power Authority of not negotiating in good faith. In part 2 of David Sommerstein's series on the relicensing, local groups are stepping up their struggle to get a settlement they can live with for half a century, but in doing so, they risk losing what they've already been offered.

NYPA Relicensing, Part 1: The Lay of the Land and Water
Feb 19, 2001 — In 1954, over 6,000 workers and their families came to Massena from all over the country to work on the St. Lawrence. Their boss was New York's "Master Builder" Robert Moses. His goal was to harness the force of one of North America's greatest rivers, a main artery carrying the largest store of fresh water in the world to the Atlantic Ocean. The St. Lawrence Seaway and Power Project was the largest public works project in the world. The power project's 50 year operation license expires in 2003. In the intervening years since it went on-line, our values regarding public and private lands, the environment, and historical preservation have changed dramatically. The New York Power Authority faces challenges in getting a new license that Robert Moses would likely have considered trivial. Over the next three days, we'll look at the Power Authority's relicensing struggles. Today, David Sommerstein takes a trip deep into the inner workings of the Robert Moses Power Dam itself to see how it all works... and how it changed the river valley forever. Go to full article
St. Lawrence Relicensing Task Force Prepares an Endgame Strategy
Feb 15, 2001 — The task force representing St. Lawrence County and its communities in the relicensing of the St. Lawrence-FDR Power Project began preparing its endgame strategy for negotiations with the New York Power Authority. After taking criticism for keeping talks behind closed doors in the past, the task force held a public meeting in Waddington last night. As David Sommerstein reports, as the deadline approaches, the group may be opening its tent to more interests to improve its bargaining position. Go to full article

The church choir there preserves a unique tradition of Christian music sung in the Mohawk language, and acts as a bridge between two often discordant cultural traditions. Go to full article

Khagan of the Mongol Empire (Supreme Khan of the Mongols) King of Kings Emperor of China |
Reign | 24 August 1246 – between 27 March and 24 April 1248 |
Coronation | 24 August 1246 |
Titles | Khan, Khagan Temple name: Dingzong (定宗) Posthumous name: Emperor Jianping (简平皇帝) |
Born | 1206 |
Died | between 27 March and 24 April 1248 (aged 42) |
Place of death | Qum-Senggir, Xinjiang |
Predecessor | Ögedei Khan |
Successor | Möngke Khan |
Consort | Oghul Qaimish |
Royal House | Borjigin |
Father | Ögedei Khan |
Mother | Töregene |
Güyük (or Kuyuk; Mongolian Cyrillic: Гүюг хаан) (c. 1206–1248) was the third Great Khan of the Mongol Empire. As the eldest son of Ögedei Khan and a grandson of Genghis Khan, he reigned from 1246 to 1248. He was given the temple name Ting-Tsung (Chinese: 元定宗; pinyin: Yuán Dìngzōng) later by Kublai Khan, who founded the Yuan Dynasty.
Early life
Güyük received military training and served as an officer under Genghis Khan and Ögedei Khan. He married Oghul Qaimish of the Merkit clan. In 1233, Güyük, along with his maternal cousin Alchidai and the Mongol general Tangghud, conquered the short-lived Dongxia Kingdom of Puxian Wannu, who was a rebellious Jin official,1 in a few months. After the death of Tolui, Ogedei proposed that Sorghaghtani, the widow of Tolui, marry his son Güyük. Sorghaghtani declined, saying that her prime responsibility was to her own sons.2
He participated in the invasion of Russia and Central Europe in 1236–1241 with other Mongol princes, including his cousin Batu and half-brother Kadan. Güyük led his corps in the Siege of Ryazan and the lengthy siege of the Ossetian capital Maghas. During the course of the conquest, Güyük quarreled violently with Batu at the victory banquet and screamed at Batu "Batu is just an old woman with a quiver".34 Güyük and Büri, a grandson of Chagatai, stormed out of the banquet and rode away swearing and cursing. When word reached the Great Khan, they were recalled for a time to Mongolia. Ogedei refused to see them and threatened to have his son Güyük executed. Ogedei calmed down and finally admitted Güyük into his ger. Ogedei criticized Güyük, "Do you think that the Russians surrendered because how mean you were to your own men. ...Because you captured 1 or 2 warriors, you think that you won the war. But you didn't capture even a single kid goat." Ogedei reprimanded his son harshly for fighting within the family and for mistreating his soldiers. Güyük was dispatched again to Europe.
In the meantime Ögedei had died in 1241, and his widow Töregene had taken over as regent, a position of great influence and authority which she used to advocate for her son Güyük. Batu withdrew from Europe so that he might have some influence over the succession, but despite his delaying tactics, Töregene succeeded in getting Güyük elected Khan in 1246. When Genghis Khan's youngest brother, Temüge, threatened the Great Khatun Toregene in an attempt to seize the throne, Güyük came to Mongolia from Emil to secure his position immediately.
Enthronement (1246)
Güyük's enthronement on 24 August 1246, near the Mongol capital at Karakorum, was attended by a large number of foreign ambassadors: the Franciscan friar and envoy of Pope Innocent IV, John of Plano Carpini; the Grand Duke of Moscow Yaroslav II of Vladimir; the incumbents for the throne of Georgia; the brother of the king of Armenia and historian, Sempad the Constable; the future Seljuk Sultan of Rum, Kilij Arslan IV; and ambassadors of the Abbasid Caliph Al-Mustakfi II and Ala ud din Masud of the Delhi Sultanate.5 According to John of Plano Carpini, Güyük's formal election in a great kurultai, or diet of the tribes, took place while his company was at a camp called Sira Orda, or "Yellow Pavilian," along with 3,000 to 4,000 visitors from all parts of Asia and eastern Europe, bearing homage, tribute, and presents. They afterwards witnessed the formal enthronement at another camp in the vicinity called the "Golden Ordu," after which they were presented to the emperor. Mosul submitted to him, sending envoys to that assembly.
When the papal envoy John of Plano Carpini protested Mongol attacks on the Catholic kingdoms of Europe, Güyük stated that these people had slain Mongol envoys in the time of Genghis Khan and Ogedei Khan. He also claimed that "from the rising of the sun to its setting, all the lands have been made subject to the Great Khan", proclaiming an explicit ideology of world conquest.6 The Khagan wrote a letter to Pope Innocent IV on the relations between the Church and the Mongols. "You must say with a sincere heart: 'We will be your subjects; we will give you our strength'. You must in person come with your kings, all together, without exception, to render us service and pay us homage. Only then will we acknowledge your submission. And if you do not follow the order of God, and go against our orders, we will know you as our enemy." According to the account of Plano Carpini, Chingis Khan's daughter or the aunt of the Khagan was executed for poisoning Ogedei.
Güyük followed his father's policy and had Fatima arrested and executed for bewitching his brother Koden (Khuden) and Abd-ur-Rahman was also beheaded for corruption. Of the provincial officials appointed under Toregene, only the Oirat official Arghun Aqa remained. Güyük had Temüge's case investigated by Orda Khan and Möngke, and they had him executed.7 Güyük replaced the child khan Qara Hülëgü of the Chagatai Khanate with his favorite cousin Yesü Möngke to secure his position. He also restored his father's officials, Mahmud Yalavach, Masud Beg and Chinqai to positions in the provinces.
Reign (1246–1248)
Güyük reversed several unpopular edicts of his mother the regent and made a surprisingly capable khan, appointing Eljigidei in Persia in preparation for an attack on Baghdad and the Ismailis and pursuing the war against the Song Dynasty. He was, nevertheless, insecure and won the disapproval of his subjects by executing several high-ranking officials of the previous regime for treason. The Seljuk princes struggled incessantly for the throne of the Sultanate of Rum. Despised by Izz-ad-Din, Rukn ad-Din Kilij Arslan IV came to Mongolia. Güyük ordered Rukn ad-Din enthroned in Iz-ad-Din Kaykaus II's place. A darughachi with 2,000 Mongol troops was sent to enforce this decision. When both David Narin and David Ulu summoned before Güyük in Karakorum, he made David Ulu the senior king and divided the Kingdom of Georgia between them.8 After the treaty signed by the Mongols and the Cilician Armenia in 1243, the king Hetoum I sent his brother Sempad to the Mongol court in Karakorum and made a formal agreement in 1247 in which Cilician Armenia would be considered a vassal state of the Mongol Empire. Due to Armenia's voluntary surrender, Sempad received a Mongol wife, and his kingdom was spared Mongol overseers and tax. Güyük demanded full-submission of the Abbasids and the Ismailis. Güyük Khan blamed Baiju for the irritated resistance of the Abbasid Caliphate.
Güyük ordered an empire-wide census. In 1246, by the decree of Güyük, taxes amounting between 1/30 -1/10 of value were imposed on everything and a heavy head tax of 60 silver drams was collected from males in Georgia and Armenia.9 The Great Khan separated the position of the great darughachi from that of chief scribe. Güyük took half of his father's kheshig for himself. Under his rule, the Uyghur officials increased their dominance, sidelining the North Chinese and the Muslims. Güyük was strict and intelligent person rather morose and sickly. However, his bad habit of drinking worsened his health.
Güyük sent Amuqan to Korea and the Mongols camped near Yiom-ju in July 1247. After the king Gojong of Goryeo refused to move his capital from Kanghwa island to Songdo, Amuqan's force pillaged Korean Peninsula until 1250.
Although Batu did not support Güyük's election seriously, he respected the Great Khan as traditionalist and sent Andrey and Alexander Nevsky to Karakorum in Mongolia in 1247 after their father's death. Güyük appointed Andrey Grand prince of Vladimir-Suzdal and Alexander prince of Kiev.10 In 1248, he demanded Batu come towards Mongolia to meet him, a move that some contemporaries regarded as a pretext for Batu's arrest. In compliance with the order, Batu approached bringing a large army. When Güyük moved westwards, Sorghaghtani warned Batu that the Jochids might be his target.
The showdown never happened—Güyük died en route, in modern-day Qinghe County, Xinjiang, China. Güyük might have been poisoned, but some modern historians believe that he died of natural causes because his health deteriorated.11 According to William of Rubruck, he was killed in a violent brawl with Shiban. His widow Oghul Qaimish took over as regent, but she would be unable to keep the succession within her branch of the family. Möngke succeeded as Khan in 1251.
Genghis Khan's sons and grandsons were haunted by alcoholism, a vice that Genghis himself had detested. Despite this, Genghis himself once remarked that it was not realistic to expect a man not to get drunk on occasion. The death of Güyük had a profound effect on history. Güyük wanted to turn the Mongol power against Europe. Because of Güyük's premature death, Mongol family politics caused the Mongol efforts to be directed against southern China, which was eventually conquered in the time of Kublai Khan.
Güyük's reign showed that the split between Batu's line, the descendants of Jöchi, and the rest of the family was the fatal flaw in the unity of all the Mongol Empire. Oghul Qaimish, whom Möngke had called "more contemptible than a bitch" to a European visitor, was executed after Batu and Möngke effected the family coup.
When Kublai Khan established the Yuan Dynasty in 1271, he had Güyük Khan placed on the official record as Dingzong (Chinese: 定宗).

City officials hope this week's spraying will vastly thin the ranks of the cankerworms. They expect the green worms back next year, but in lower numbers. WFAE's Lisa Miller considers the plight of the cankerworm as the corpses begin to mount.

The Sicamous KOA is an ideal stopover! Email us at email@example.com
En route to or from the snowcapped mountains of Glacier and Banff national parks, the Sicamous KOA makes an ideal stopover. Its quiet wilderness setting is just off Trans-Canada Highway 1, minutes from the deep blue waters and beaches of Shuswap and Mara lakes. Sicamous rightly calls itself the "Houseboat Capital of Canada," but that's not the only nautical way to enjoy the lakes. Take a stern-wheeler tour on Shuswap Lake past ancient petroglyphs. Spot hidden streams and waterfalls glinting with sunlight among dark green trees. Then head back for a float in KOA's pool. Pancake breakfasts, movies, fireworks (if prohibited), and nature walks are regular events in the summer. Camping Cabin rates include both one- and two-room Kabins.
