ashgabat international airport (turkmen: aşgabat halkara howa menzili) (iata: asb, icao: utaa), formerly known as saparmyrat türkmenbaşy international airport, is one of five international airports in turkmenistan.it is located within the city limits of ashgabat (ashkhabad).the old airport, with its air traffic control tower and a 3,700-metre-long (12,000 ft) precision approach runway (12l-30r), opened in 1994 and was named after the country's first president, saparmyrat niyazov.the new airport terminal opened in september 2016, after being completely redesigned and rebuilt and after the south runway was moved and lengthened to parallel the north runway.for this route, four-passenger junkers f.13 aircraft were purchased in germany, as well as soviet four-passenger kalinin k-4 aircraft.eight aircraft served this airline.later, in 1932, newer soviet aircraft were purchased for the transport of passengers.the kalinin k-5 aircraft seated six, and the tupolev ant-9 aircraft had twelve seats.with this replenishment of the turkmen ssr air fleet, in 1932 an air division was formed at chardzhou airport that directly served the chardzhou-tashauz route, without stops in other settlements.in soviet times, the airport was used exclusively for servicing flights within the ussr.currently, in addition to the aircraft of the local airline fleet, the airport serves the planes of several foreign airlines of the world, performing both passenger and cargo flights.in soviet times, the airport was used exclusively for domestic flights.as part of saparmurat niyazov's aspiration to transform turkmenistan into 'the new kuwait', he sought to construct a distinctive airport.this zeal resulted in the control tower being constructed on the wrong side of the runway.the 'gaudy new terminal' now blocked the view of air traffic controllers as they guided pilots.the builders warned him of this, however, he responded that, 'it looks better this way.'the building was dismantled in 2013.polimeks, a turkish construction company active in turkmenistan since the late-1990s, was declared winner of the tender.the new airport was opened on 17 september 2016 by president gurbanguly berdimuhamedow.the project cost $2.3 billion (€1.7 billion) and features a highly unusual terminal design in the shape of a falcon.the new airport has capacity to serve 14 million passengers per year at a rate of 1,600 passengers per hour.the airport covers 350,000 m2 and includes a passenger terminal, vip terminal, cargo terminal with capacity to handle 200,000 tonnes of freight per year, a new air traffic control tower (atct), a maintenance hangar for three narrow-body aircraft, new fueling stations, catering, fire brigade, flight simulation, repair and maintenance buildings, parking space for 3,000 cars, a civil aviation school as well as a medical center.the airport has also a second 3,800-meter long runway to serve wide-body, double-deck jet airliners such as the airbus a380 and boeing 747-8.all services of the airport work around the clock.the airport includes passenger waiting rooms, immigration, customs, border control, a 24-hour reference service, vip and cip rooms, a business club, a ticket office for (turkmenistan airlines), shops, bars, fast-food outlets, currency exchange, a new baggage handling conveyor system, international telephone, a mother and child room and the offices for (star alliance air carriers and turkish airlines).on 26 march 2014, a small passenger terminal was opened during a ceremony attended by president gurbanguly berdimuhamedow.the terminal is located on the site of a pre-existing turkmen ssr airport (behind the bus station) on 2013 street (cosmonaut boulevard).for the period of construction of the main passenger terminal the temporary terminal served passengers departing from and arriving to ashgabat.after commissioning of the main terminal, the terminal was used for domestic routes and charter flights. | pericope | exterminable | eveck <tsp> pericope | separableness | empurple | no related information |
birmingham ( (listen) bur-ming-əm) is a city and metropolitan borough in the metropolitan county of west midlands in england.it is the second-largest city in the united kingdom with a population of 1.145 million in the city proper, 2.92 million in the west midlands metropolitan county, and approximately 4.3 million in the wider metropolitan area.it is the largest uk metropolitan area outside of london.birmingham is commonly referred to as the second city of the united kingdom.located in the west midlands region of england, approximately 100 miles (160 km) from london, birmingham is considered to be the social, cultural, financial and commercial centre of the midlands.distinctively, birmingham only has small rivers flowing through it, mainly the river tame and its tributaries river rea and river cole – one of the closest main rivers is the severn, approximately 20 miles (32 km) west of the city centre.historically a market town in warwickshire in the medieval period, birmingham grew during the 18th century during the midlands enlightenment and during the industrial revolution, which saw advances in science, technology and economic development, producing a series of innovations that laid many of the foundations of modern industrial society.by 1791, it was being hailed as 'the first manufacturing town in the world'.birmingham's distinctive economic profile, with thousands of small workshops practising a wide variety of specialised and highly skilled trades, encouraged exceptional levels of creativity and innovation; this provided an economic base for prosperity that was to last into the final quarter of the 20th century.the watt steam engine was invented in birmingham.the resulting high level of social mobility also fostered a culture of political radicalism which, under leaders from thomas attwood to joseph chamberlain, was to give it a political influence unparalleled in britain outside london and a pivotal role in the development of british democracy.from the summer of 1940 to the spring of 1943, birmingham was bombed heavily by the german luftwaffe in what is known as the birmingham blitz.the damage done to the city's infrastructure, in addition to a deliberate policy of demolition and new building by planners, led to extensive urban regeneration in subsequent decades.birmingham's economy is now dominated by the service sector.the city is a major international commercial centre and an important transport, retail, events and conference hub.its metropolitan economy is the second-largest in the united kingdom with a gdp of $121.1bn (2014).its five universities, including the university of birmingham, make it the largest centre of higher education in the country outside london.birmingham's major cultural institutions – the city of birmingham symphony orchestra, birmingham royal ballet, birmingham repertory theatre, library of birmingham and barber institute of fine arts – enjoy international reputations, and the city has vibrant and influential grassroots art, music, literary and culinary scenes.the city also successfully hosted the 2022 commonwealth games.in 2021, birmingham was the third most visited city in the uk by people from foreign nations.beorma, after whom the tribe was named, could have been its leader at the time of the anglo-saxon settlement, a shared ancestor, or a mythical tribal figurehead.place names ending in -ingahām are characteristic of primary settlements established during the early phases of anglo-saxon colonisation of an area, suggesting that birmingham was probably in existence by the early 7th century at the latest.surrounding settlements with names ending in -tūn ('farm'), -lēah ('woodland clearing'), -worð ('enclosure') and -field ('open ground') are likely to be secondary settlements created by the later expansion of the anglo-saxon population, in some cases possibly on earlier british sites.the many burnt mounds that can still be seen around the city indicate that modern humans first intensively settled and cultivated the area during the bronze age, when a substantial but short-lived influx of population occurred between 1700 bc and 1000 bc, possibly caused by conflict or immigration in the surrounding area. | birmingham | postalcode | b postcode area <tsp> birmingham | leadername | conservative party uk <tsp> 103 colmore row | architect | john madin <tsp> john madin | hometown | birmingham <tsp> birmingham | governingbody | birmingham city council | birmingham ( (listen) bur-ming-əm) is a city and metropolitan borough in the metropolitan county of west midlands in england.birmingham is commonly referred to as the second city of the united kingdom.located in the west midlands region of england, approximately 100 miles (160 km) from london, birmingham is considered to be the social, cultural, financial and commercial centre of the midlands.distinctively, birmingham only has small rivers flowing through it, mainly the river tame and its tributaries river rea and river cole – one of the closest main rivers is the severn, approximately 20 miles (32 km) west of the city centre.historically a market town in warwickshire in the medieval period, birmingham grew during the 18th century during the midlands enlightenment and during the industrial revolution, which saw advances in science, technology and economic development, producing a series of innovations that laid many of the foundations of modern industrial society.birmingham's distinctive economic profile, with thousands of small workshops practising a wide variety of specialised and highly skilled trades, encouraged exceptional levels of creativity and innovation;

ethiopians are the native inhabitants of ethiopia, as well as the global diaspora of ethiopia.ethiopians constitute several component ethnic groups, many of which are closely related to ethnic groups in neighboring eritrea and other parts of the horn of africa.the first documented use of the name 'ethiopia' from greek name 'αἰθίοψ' (ethiopian) was in the 4th century during the reign of aksumite king ezana.there were three ethnolinguistic groups in the kingdom of aksum; semitic, cushitic, and nilo-saharan (ancestors of the modern-day kunama and nara).the kingdom of aksum remained a geopolitically influential entity until the pillage of its capital — also named axum — in the 10th century by queen gudit.nevertheless, the core aksumite civilization was preserved and continued into the successive zagwe dynasty.by this time, new ethnic groups emerged – the tigrayans and amharas.during the solomonic period, the latter established major political and cultural influence in the horn of africa.in the late middle ages, muslim states were established, including the sultanate of ifat, and its successor the adal sultanate.discontent with territory and religious dominance led to intense war between the ethiopian empire, the christian state, (consisting of the amhara, tigrayan, soddo gurage, and agaw ethnic groups) and the muslim state adal sultanate (consisting of semitic speaking harari formally known as the harla people and the argobba).during the 1600s, there were large-scale migrations of the oromo from the south into the highlands and also alongside the somali into adal or what was known as 'hararghe' (land of the hararis).a period of stability and peace continued through the gondarine period in 16th and 17th century, but ethiopia was divided into de facto autonomous regions in the mid-18th century.during this time, ethiopia was nominally ruled by an emperor who functioned as a puppet monarch of various regional lords and noblemen.this era was known as the zemene mesafint or 'era of the princes'.emperor tewodros ii managed to unify the decentralized ethiopian empire in 1855 and inaugurated a process of modernization that continued into successive regimes, resurrecting the empire as a regional power.in the late 19th-century during the reign of menelik ii, against the backdrop of the scramble for africa, the notion of ethiopian national integrity was strengthened by italian efforts at colonization.the italian invasion engendered a formidable national resistance, culminating in the battle of adwa in 1896 which resulted in a major ethiopian victory against the italians.the resulting treaty of addis ababa ended the italo-ethiopian war, and along with the nation's contemporaneous territorial expansion, largely established the modern-day boundaries of ethiopia.present-day ethiopia has a diverse population with many different languages and ethnic groups.ethiopians speak afro-asiatic languages (semitic, cushitic, and omotic) and nilo-saharan languages.the oromo, amhara, somali and tigrayans make up more than three-quarters (75%) of the population, but there are more than 80 different ethnic groups within ethiopia.some of these have as few as 10,000 members.it is estimated to be 3.5 million years old.in october 2015, scientists found a 4,500 years ago lived man called mota in a cave in southern central ethiopia.atypical to euroasians, which were believed reached the region after him, mota's genetic variants was not as 'light-colored eye or skin', resembles the modern aari tribes that live in the southern area of the country.another research suggests that euroasians arrived in the region resembles modern-day sardinians, or likely lbk culture of antiquity.by proofing mota has no european genome, archeologist theorized the near east population migrated to africa in 3,000 years ago.other evidence concluded that eurasian population made significant contribution as a result of back migration between 1,500 and 3,500 years ago. | nonevincive | photophony | scouting <tsp> nonevincive | wisent | slopingly | no related information |

ethiopians are the native inhabitants of ethiopia, as well as the global diaspora of ethiopia.ethiopians constitute several component ethnic groups, many of which are closely related to ethnic groups in neighboring eritrea and other parts of the horn of africa.the first documented use of the name 'ethiopia' from greek name 'αἰθίοψ' (ethiopian) was in the 4th century during the reign of aksumite king ezana.there were three ethnolinguistic groups in the kingdom of aksum; semitic, cushitic, and nilo-saharan (ancestors of the modern-day kunama and nara).the kingdom of aksum remained a geopolitically influential entity until the pillage of its capital — also named axum — in the 10th century by queen gudit.nevertheless, the core aksumite civilization was preserved and continued into the successive zagwe dynasty.by this time, new ethnic groups emerged – the tigrayans and amharas.during the solomonic period, the latter established major political and cultural influence in the horn of africa.in the late middle ages, muslim states were established, including the sultanate of ifat, and its successor the adal sultanate.discontent with territory and religious dominance led to intense war between the ethiopian empire, the christian state, (consisting of the amhara, tigrayan, soddo gurage, and agaw ethnic groups) and the muslim state adal sultanate (consisting of semitic speaking harari formally known as the harla people and the argobba).during the 1600s, there were large-scale migrations of the oromo from the south into the highlands and also alongside the somali into adal or what was known as 'hararghe' (land of the hararis).a period of stability and peace continued through the gondarine period in 16th and 17th century, but ethiopia was divided into de facto autonomous regions in the mid-18th century.during this time, ethiopia was nominally ruled by an emperor who functioned as a puppet monarch of various regional lords and noblemen.this era was known as the zemene mesafint or 'era of the princes'.emperor tewodros ii managed to unify the decentralized ethiopian empire in 1855 and inaugurated a process of modernization that continued into successive regimes, resurrecting the empire as a regional power.in the late 19th-century during the reign of menelik ii, against the backdrop of the scramble for africa, the notion of ethiopian national integrity was strengthened by italian efforts at colonization.the italian invasion engendered a formidable national resistance, culminating in the battle of adwa in 1896 which resulted in a major ethiopian victory against the italians.the resulting treaty of addis ababa ended the italo-ethiopian war, and along with the nation's contemporaneous territorial expansion, largely established the modern-day boundaries of ethiopia.present-day ethiopia has a diverse population with many different languages and ethnic groups.ethiopians speak afro-asiatic languages (semitic, cushitic, and omotic) and nilo-saharan languages.the oromo, amhara, somali and tigrayans make up more than three-quarters (75%) of the population, but there are more than 80 different ethnic groups within ethiopia.some of these have as few as 10,000 members.it is estimated to be 3.5 million years old.in october 2015, scientists found a 4,500 years ago lived man called mota in a cave in southern central ethiopia.atypical to euroasians, which were believed reached the region after him, mota's genetic variants was not as 'light-colored eye or skin', resembles the modern aari tribes that live in the southern area of the country.another research suggests that euroasians arrived in the region resembles modern-day sardinians, or likely lbk culture of antiquity.by proofing mota has no european genome, archeologist theorized the near east population migrated to africa in 3,000 years ago.other evidence concluded that eurasian population made significant contribution as a result of back migration between 1,500 and 3,500 years ago. | arefact | banisher | enteroceptor | no related information |

ethiopians are the native inhabitants of ethiopia, as well as the global diaspora of ethiopia.ethiopians constitute several component ethnic groups, many of which are closely related to ethnic groups in neighboring eritrea and other parts of the horn of africa.the first documented use of the name 'ethiopia' from greek name 'αἰθίοψ' (ethiopian) was in the 4th century during the reign of aksumite king ezana.there were three ethnolinguistic groups in the kingdom of aksum; semitic, cushitic, and nilo-saharan (ancestors of the modern-day kunama and nara).the kingdom of aksum remained a geopolitically influential entity until the pillage of its capital — also named axum — in the 10th century by queen gudit.nevertheless, the core aksumite civilization was preserved and continued into the successive zagwe dynasty.by this time, new ethnic groups emerged – the tigrayans and amharas.during the solomonic period, the latter established major political and cultural influence in the horn of africa.in the late middle ages, muslim states were established, including the sultanate of ifat, and its successor the adal sultanate.discontent with territory and religious dominance led to intense war between the ethiopian empire, the christian state, (consisting of the amhara, tigrayan, soddo gurage, and agaw ethnic groups) and the muslim state adal sultanate (consisting of semitic speaking harari formally known as the harla people and the argobba).during the 1600s, there were large-scale migrations of the oromo from the south into the highlands and also alongside the somali into adal or what was known as 'hararghe' (land of the hararis).a period of stability and peace continued through the gondarine period in 16th and 17th century, but ethiopia was divided into de facto autonomous regions in the mid-18th century.during this time, ethiopia was nominally ruled by an emperor who functioned as a puppet monarch of various regional lords and noblemen.this era was known as the zemene mesafint or 'era of the princes'.emperor tewodros ii managed to unify the decentralized ethiopian empire in 1855 and inaugurated a process of modernization that continued into successive regimes, resurrecting the empire as a regional power.in the late 19th-century during the reign of menelik ii, against the backdrop of the scramble for africa, the notion of ethiopian national integrity was strengthened by italian efforts at colonization.the italian invasion engendered a formidable national resistance, culminating in the battle of adwa in 1896 which resulted in a major ethiopian victory against the italians.the resulting treaty of addis ababa ended the italo-ethiopian war, and along with the nation's contemporaneous territorial expansion, largely established the modern-day boundaries of ethiopia.present-day ethiopia has a diverse population with many different languages and ethnic groups.ethiopians speak afro-asiatic languages (semitic, cushitic, and omotic) and nilo-saharan languages.the oromo, amhara, somali and tigrayans make up more than three-quarters (75%) of the population, but there are more than 80 different ethnic groups within ethiopia.some of these have as few as 10,000 members.it is estimated to be 3.5 million years old.in october 2015, scientists found a 4,500 years ago lived man called mota in a cave in southern central ethiopia.atypical to euroasians, which were believed reached the region after him, mota's genetic variants was not as 'light-colored eye or skin', resembles the modern aari tribes that live in the southern area of the country.another research suggests that euroasians arrived in the region resembles modern-day sardinians, or likely lbk culture of antiquity.by proofing mota has no european genome, archeologist theorized the near east population migrated to africa in 3,000 years ago.other evidence concluded that eurasian population made significant contribution as a result of back migration between 1,500 and 3,500 years ago. | ethiopia | leadername | hailemariam desalegn <tsp> addis ababa | ispartof | addis ababa stadium <tsp> addis ababa city hall | location | addis ababa <tsp> addis ababa | country | ethiopia <tsp> ethiopia | language | amharic | the resulting treaty of addis ababa ended the italo-ethiopian war, and along with the nation's contemporaneous territorial expansion, largely established the modern-day boundaries of ethiopia. |

ethiopians are the native inhabitants of ethiopia, as well as the global diaspora of ethiopia.ethiopians constitute several component ethnic groups, many of which are closely related to ethnic groups in neighboring eritrea and other parts of the horn of africa.the first documented use of the name 'ethiopia' from greek name 'αἰθίοψ' (ethiopian) was in the 4th century during the reign of aksumite king ezana.there were three ethnolinguistic groups in the kingdom of aksum; semitic, cushitic, and nilo-saharan (ancestors of the modern-day kunama and nara).the kingdom of aksum remained a geopolitically influential entity until the pillage of its capital — also named axum — in the 10th century by queen gudit.nevertheless, the core aksumite civilization was preserved and continued into the successive zagwe dynasty.by this time, new ethnic groups emerged – the tigrayans and amharas.during the solomonic period, the latter established major political and cultural influence in the horn of africa.in the late middle ages, muslim states were established, including the sultanate of ifat, and its successor the adal sultanate.discontent with territory and religious dominance led to intense war between the ethiopian empire, the christian state, (consisting of the amhara, tigrayan, soddo gurage, and agaw ethnic groups) and the muslim state adal sultanate (consisting of semitic speaking harari formally known as the harla people and the argobba).during the 1600s, there were large-scale migrations of the oromo from the south into the highlands and also alongside the somali into adal or what was known as 'hararghe' (land of the hararis).a period of stability and peace continued through the gondarine period in 16th and 17th century, but ethiopia was divided into de facto autonomous regions in the mid-18th century.during this time, ethiopia was nominally ruled by an emperor who functioned as a puppet monarch of various regional lords and noblemen.this era was known as the zemene mesafint or 'era of the princes'.emperor tewodros ii managed to unify the decentralized ethiopian empire in 1855 and inaugurated a process of modernization that continued into successive regimes, resurrecting the empire as a regional power.in the late 19th-century during the reign of menelik ii, against the backdrop of the scramble for africa, the notion of ethiopian national integrity was strengthened by italian efforts at colonization.the italian invasion engendered a formidable national resistance, culminating in the battle of adwa in 1896 which resulted in a major ethiopian victory against the italians.the resulting treaty of addis ababa ended the italo-ethiopian war, and along with the nation's contemporaneous territorial expansion, largely established the modern-day boundaries of ethiopia.present-day ethiopia has a diverse population with many different languages and ethnic groups.ethiopians speak afro-asiatic languages (semitic, cushitic, and omotic) and nilo-saharan languages.the oromo, amhara, somali and tigrayans make up more than three-quarters (75%) of the population, but there are more than 80 different ethnic groups within ethiopia.some of these have as few as 10,000 members.it is estimated to be 3.5 million years old.in october 2015, scientists found a 4,500 years ago lived man called mota in a cave in southern central ethiopia.atypical to euroasians, which were believed reached the region after him, mota's genetic variants was not as 'light-colored eye or skin', resembles the modern aari tribes that live in the southern area of the country.another research suggests that euroasians arrived in the region resembles modern-day sardinians, or likely lbk culture of antiquity.by proofing mota has no european genome, archeologist theorized the near east population migrated to africa in 3,000 years ago.other evidence concluded that eurasian population made significant contribution as a result of back migration between 1,500 and 3,500 years ago. | reformatively | adrian | nonliterariness <tsp> reformatively | parsonages | targeted | no related information |

the amc matador is a series of american automobiles that were manufactured and marketed by american motors corporation (amc) across two generations, 1971–1973 (mid-size) and 1974–1978 (full-size), in two-door hardtop (first generation) and coupe (second generation) versions, as well as in four-door sedan and station wagon body styles.the first generation matador was focused on the 'family' market segment and was also offered in performance versions as highlighted in the nascar racing series with factory support from 1972 through 1975.with its second generation, the matador became amc's largest automobile after the ambassador, which shared the same platform, was discontinued after the 1974 model year.premium trim levels of the second generation matador coupe were marketed as the barcelona and oleg cassini (after the noted fashion designer) positioning the coupe in the personal luxury segment.the matador was fairly popular as a police car in the united states, and several television series featured matadors in prominent roles.abroad, matadors were also marketed under the rambler marque and were assembled under license in costa rica, mexico by vehículos automotores mexicanos (vam), and australia by australian motor industries (ami).matadors were also marketed in overseas markets that included exports of right-hand drive versions to the uk.with a facelift and a new name, the amc matadors were available as a two-door hardtop, four-door sedan, and station wagon body styles.the matador shared a modified platform with the full-size ambassador line with a shorter wheelbase.although related directly to the previous rebel models, amc began promoting the matador as more than a change in name with a slight facelift, to reposition the line in the highly competitive intermediate-car segment among consumers.the advertising campaign was built around the question 'what's a matador?'sedan and wagon models 'offered excellent value and were fairly popular' cars.matadors were also offered to fleet buyers with various police, taxicab, and other heavy-duty packages.they outperformed most other cars and 'was adopted as the official police car.'matadors became popular with government agencies and military units as well as police departments in the u.s. and the sedans and wagons were typically equipped with 360 cu in (5.9 l) or 401 cu in (6.6 l) v8 engines.matadors with heavy-duty police equipment were produced from 1971 through 1975.they continued to be in service longer than normal because of favorable field reports.the matador received a redesign in 1974, in part to meet new safety and crash requirements.the most significant change was to the two-door version.the hardtop was the slowest-selling body style in the matador line although it was in a market segment where two-door models were typically the most popular - and also most profitable.as a result, the boxy two-door hardtop body design was replaced with a completely different and sleeker coupe model 'to contend with the bull market for plush mid-size coupes that sprang up after the end of the muscle car era'.it also featured a design that was praised by owners along with their complaints about its low roofline.the design of the matador coupe has been described as 'polarizing' as well as being 'an evocative, swoopy coupe that perfectly captured the design ethos of the era.'factory-backed first-generation hardtops and second-generation coupes competed in nascar stock car racing from 1972 through 1975.drivers included mark donohue and bobby allison winning several races including the 1975 southern 500 at darlington.the amc matador captured five first-place wins.matadors in police livery were featured in television shows and movies during the 1970s.the matador coupe was a featured car and also a scale model of it was used as a flying car in the man with the golden gun, a james bond film released in 1974. | pteridosperm | outbidder | larrigan | no related information |
ethiopians are the native inhabitants of ethiopia, as well as the global diaspora of ethiopia.ethiopians constitute several component ethnic groups, many of which are closely related to ethnic groups in neighboring eritrea and other parts of the horn of africa.the first documented use of the name 'ethiopia' from greek name 'αἰθίοψ' (ethiopian) was in the 4th century during the reign of aksumite king ezana.there were three ethnolinguistic groups in the kingdom of aksum; semitic, cushitic, and nilo-saharan (ancestors of the modern-day kunama and nara).the kingdom of aksum remained a geopolitically influential entity until the pillage of its capital — also named axum — in the 10th century by queen gudit.nevertheless, the core aksumite civilization was preserved and continued into the successive zagwe dynasty.by this time, new ethnic groups emerged – the tigrayans and amharas.during the solomonic period, the latter established major political and cultural influence in the horn of africa.in the late middle ages, muslim states were established, including the sultanate of ifat, and its successor the adal sultanate.discontent with territory and religious dominance led to intense war between the ethiopian empire, the christian state, (consisting of the amhara, tigrayan, soddo gurage, and agaw ethnic groups) and the muslim state adal sultanate (consisting of semitic speaking harari formally known as the harla people and the argobba).during the 1600s, there were large-scale migrations of the oromo from the south into the highlands and also alongside the somali into adal or what was known as 'hararghe' (land of the hararis).a period of stability and peace continued through the gondarine period in 16th and 17th century, but ethiopia was divided into de facto autonomous regions in the mid-18th century.during this time, ethiopia was nominally ruled by an emperor who functioned as a puppet monarch of various regional lords and noblemen.this era was known as the zemene mesafint or 'era of the princes'.emperor tewodros ii managed to unify the decentralized ethiopian empire in 1855 and inaugurated a process of modernization that continued into successive regimes, resurrecting the empire as a regional power.in the late 19th-century during the reign of menelik ii, against the backdrop of the scramble for africa, the notion of ethiopian national integrity was strengthened by italian efforts at colonization.the italian invasion engendered a formidable national resistance, culminating in the battle of adwa in 1896 which resulted in a major ethiopian victory against the italians.the resulting treaty of addis ababa ended the italo-ethiopian war, and along with the nation's contemporaneous territorial expansion, largely established the modern-day boundaries of ethiopia.present-day ethiopia has a diverse population with many different languages and ethnic groups.ethiopians speak afro-asiatic languages (semitic, cushitic, and omotic) and nilo-saharan languages.the oromo, amhara, somali and tigrayans make up more than three-quarters (75%) of the population, but there are more than 80 different ethnic groups within ethiopia.some of these have as few as 10,000 members.it is estimated to be 3.5 million years old.in october 2015, scientists found a 4,500 years ago lived man called mota in a cave in southern central ethiopia.atypical to euroasians, which were believed reached the region after him, mota's genetic variants was not as 'light-colored eye or skin', resembles the modern aari tribes that live in the southern area of the country.another research suggests that euroasians arrived in the region resembles modern-day sardinians, or likely lbk culture of antiquity.by proofing mota has no european genome, archeologist theorized the near east population migrated to africa in 3,000 years ago.other evidence concluded that eurasian population made significant contribution as a result of back migration between 1,500 and 3,500 years ago. | coagulose | doornails | immaterialism | no related information |

the amc matador is a series of american automobiles that were manufactured and marketed by american motors corporation (amc) across two generations, 1971–1973 (mid-size) and 1974–1978 (full-size), in two-door hardtop (first generation) and coupe (second generation) versions, as well as in four-door sedan and station wagon body styles.the first generation matador was focused on the 'family' market segment and was also offered in performance versions as highlighted in the nascar racing series with factory support from 1972 through 1975.with its second generation, the matador became amc's largest automobile after the ambassador, which shared the same platform, was discontinued after the 1974 model year.premium trim levels of the second generation matador coupe were marketed as the barcelona and oleg cassini (after the noted fashion designer) positioning the coupe in the personal luxury segment.the matador was fairly popular as a police car in the united states, and several television series featured matadors in prominent roles.abroad, matadors were also marketed under the rambler marque and were assembled under license in costa rica, mexico by vehículos automotores mexicanos (vam), and australia by australian motor industries (ami).matadors were also marketed in overseas markets that included exports of right-hand drive versions to the uk.with a facelift and a new name, the amc matadors were available as a two-door hardtop, four-door sedan, and station wagon body styles.the matador shared a modified platform with the full-size ambassador line with a shorter wheelbase.although related directly to the previous rebel models, amc began promoting the matador as more than a change in name with a slight facelift, to reposition the line in the highly competitive intermediate-car segment among consumers.the advertising campaign was built around the question 'what's a matador?'sedan and wagon models 'offered excellent value and were fairly popular' cars.matadors were also offered to fleet buyers with various police, taxicab, and other heavy-duty packages.they outperformed most other cars and 'was adopted as the official police car.'matadors became popular with government agencies and military units as well as police departments in the u.s. and the sedans and wagons were typically equipped with 360 cu in (5.9 l) or 401 cu in (6.6 l) v8 engines.matadors with heavy-duty police equipment were produced from 1971 through 1975.they continued to be in service longer than normal because of favorable field reports.the matador received a redesign in 1974, in part to meet new safety and crash requirements.the most significant change was to the two-door version.the hardtop was the slowest-selling body style in the matador line although it was in a market segment where two-door models were typically the most popular - and also most profitable.as a result, the boxy two-door hardtop body design was replaced with a completely different and sleeker coupe model 'to contend with the bull market for plush mid-size coupes that sprang up after the end of the muscle car era'.it also featured a design that was praised by owners along with their complaints about its low roofline.the design of the matador coupe has been described as 'polarizing' as well as being 'an evocative, swoopy coupe that perfectly captured the design ethos of the era.'factory-backed first-generation hardtops and second-generation coupes competed in nascar stock car racing from 1972 through 1975.drivers included mark donohue and bobby allison winning several races including the 1975 southern 500 at darlington.the amc matador captured five first-place wins.matadors in police livery were featured in television shows and movies during the 1970s.the matador coupe was a featured car and also a scale model of it was used as a flying car in the man with the golden gun, a james bond film released in 1974. | amc matador | alternativename | american motors matador <tsp> amc matador | assembly | thames new zealand <tsp> amc matador | bodystyle | station wagon <tsp> amc matador | class | full-size car <tsp> amc matador | engine | amc v8 engine | the amc matador is a series of american automobiles that were manufactured and marketed by american motors corporation (amc) across two generations, 1971–1973 (mid-size) and 1974–1978 (full-size), in two-door hardtop (first generation) and coupe (second generation) versions, as well as in four-door sedan and station wagon body styles.the first generation matador was focused on the 'family' market segment and was also offered in performance versions as highlighted in the nascar racing series with factory support from 1972 through 1975.with its second generation, the matador became amc's largest automobile after the ambassador, which shared the same platform, was discontinued after the 1974 model year.premium trim levels of the second generation matador coupe were marketed as the barcelona and oleg cassini (after the noted fashion designer) positioning the coupe in the personal luxury segment.the matador was fairly popular as a police car in the united states, and several television series featured matadors in prominent roles.abroad, matadors were also marketed under the rambler marque and were assembled under license in costa rica, mexico by vehículos automotores mexicanos (vam), and australia by australian motor industries (ami).matadors were also marketed in overseas markets that included exports of right-hand drive versions to the uk.with a facelift and a new name, the amc matadors were available as a two-door hardtop, four-door sedan, and station wagon body styles.the matador shared a modified platform with the full-size ambassador line with a shorter wheelbase.although related directly to the previous rebel models, amc began promoting the matador as more than a change in name with a slight facelift, to reposition the line in the highly competitive intermediate-car segment among consumers.the advertising campaign was built around the question 'what's a matador?matadors were also offered to fleet buyers with various police, taxicab, and other heavy-duty packages.matadors became popular with government agencies and military units as well as police departments in the u.s. and the sedans and wagons were typically equipped with 360 cu in (5.9 l) or 401 cu in (6.6 l) v8 engines.matadors with heavy-duty police equipment were produced from 1971 through 1975.they continued to be in service longer than normal because of favorable field reports.the matador received a redesign in 1974, in part to meet new safety and crash requirements.the hardtop was the slowest-selling body style in the matador line although it was in a market segment where two-door models were typically the most popular -

ethiopians are the native inhabitants of ethiopia, as well as the global diaspora of ethiopia.ethiopians constitute several component ethnic groups, many of which are closely related to ethnic groups in neighboring eritrea and other parts of the horn of africa.the first documented use of the name 'ethiopia' from greek name 'αἰθίοψ' (ethiopian) was in the 4th century during the reign of aksumite king ezana.there were three ethnolinguistic groups in the kingdom of aksum; semitic, cushitic, and nilo-saharan (ancestors of the modern-day kunama and nara).the kingdom of aksum remained a geopolitically influential entity until the pillage of its capital — also named axum — in the 10th century by queen gudit.nevertheless, the core aksumite civilization was preserved and continued into the successive zagwe dynasty.by this time, new ethnic groups emerged – the tigrayans and amharas.during the solomonic period, the latter established major political and cultural influence in the horn of africa.in the late middle ages, muslim states were established, including the sultanate of ifat, and its successor the adal sultanate.discontent with territory and religious dominance led to intense war between the ethiopian empire, the christian state, (consisting of the amhara, tigrayan, soddo gurage, and agaw ethnic groups) and the muslim state adal sultanate (consisting of semitic speaking harari formally known as the harla people and the argobba).during the 1600s, there were large-scale migrations of the oromo from the south into the highlands and also alongside the somali into adal or what was known as 'hararghe' (land of the hararis).a period of stability and peace continued through the gondarine period in 16th and 17th century, but ethiopia was divided into de facto autonomous regions in the mid-18th century.during this time, ethiopia was nominally ruled by an emperor who functioned as a puppet monarch of various regional lords and noblemen.this era was known as the zemene mesafint or 'era of the princes'.emperor tewodros ii managed to unify the decentralized ethiopian empire in 1855 and inaugurated a process of modernization that continued into successive regimes, resurrecting the empire as a regional power.in the late 19th-century during the reign of menelik ii, against the backdrop of the scramble for africa, the notion of ethiopian national integrity was strengthened by italian efforts at colonization.the italian invasion engendered a formidable national resistance, culminating in the battle of adwa in 1896 which resulted in a major ethiopian victory against the italians.the resulting treaty of addis ababa ended the italo-ethiopian war, and along with the nation's contemporaneous territorial expansion, largely established the modern-day boundaries of ethiopia.present-day ethiopia has a diverse population with many different languages and ethnic groups.ethiopians speak afro-asiatic languages (semitic, cushitic, and omotic) and nilo-saharan languages.the oromo, amhara, somali and tigrayans make up more than three-quarters (75%) of the population, but there are more than 80 different ethnic groups within ethiopia.some of these have as few as 10,000 members.it is estimated to be 3.5 million years old.in october 2015, scientists found a 4,500 years ago lived man called mota in a cave in southern central ethiopia.atypical to euroasians, which were believed reached the region after him, mota's genetic variants was not as 'light-colored eye or skin', resembles the modern aari tribes that live in the southern area of the country.another research suggests that euroasians arrived in the region resembles modern-day sardinians, or likely lbk culture of antiquity.by proofing mota has no european genome, archeologist theorized the near east population migrated to africa in 3,000 years ago.other evidence concluded that eurasian population made significant contribution as a result of back migration between 1,500 and 3,500 years ago. | ethiopia | leadername | mulatu teshome <tsp> ethiopia | leadername | hailemariam desalegn <tsp> addis ababa | ispartof | addis ababa stadium <tsp> addis ababa city hall | country | ethiopia <tsp> addis ababa city hall | location | addis ababa | the resulting treaty of addis ababa ended the italo-ethiopian war, and along with the nation's contemporaneous territorial expansion, largely established the modern-day boundaries of ethiopia. |
the amc matador is a series of american automobiles that were manufactured and marketed by american motors corporation (amc) across two generations, 1971–1973 (mid-size) and 1974–1978 (full-size), in two-door hardtop (first generation) and coupe (second generation) versions, as well as in four-door sedan and station wagon body styles.the first generation matador was focused on the 'family' market segment and was also offered in performance versions as highlighted in the nascar racing series with factory support from 1972 through 1975.with its second generation, the matador became amc's largest automobile after the ambassador, which shared the same platform, was discontinued after the 1974 model year.premium trim levels of the second generation matador coupe were marketed as the barcelona and oleg cassini (after the noted fashion designer) positioning the coupe in the personal luxury segment.the matador was fairly popular as a police car in the united states, and several television series featured matadors in prominent roles.abroad, matadors were also marketed under the rambler marque and were assembled under license in costa rica, mexico by vehículos automotores mexicanos (vam), and australia by australian motor industries (ami).matadors were also marketed in overseas markets that included exports of right-hand drive versions to the uk.with a facelift and a new name, the amc matadors were available as a two-door hardtop, four-door sedan, and station wagon body styles.the matador shared a modified platform with the full-size ambassador line with a shorter wheelbase.although related directly to the previous rebel models, amc began promoting the matador as more than a change in name with a slight facelift, to reposition the line in the highly competitive intermediate-car segment among consumers.the advertising campaign was built around the question 'what's a matador?'sedan and wagon models 'offered excellent value and were fairly popular' cars.matadors were also offered to fleet buyers with various police, taxicab, and other heavy-duty packages.they outperformed most other cars and 'was adopted as the official police car.'matadors became popular with government agencies and military units as well as police departments in the u.s. and the sedans and wagons were typically equipped with 360 cu in (5.9 l) or 401 cu in (6.6 l) v8 engines.matadors with heavy-duty police equipment were produced from 1971 through 1975.they continued to be in service longer than normal because of favorable field reports.the matador received a redesign in 1974, in part to meet new safety and crash requirements.the most significant change was to the two-door version.the hardtop was the slowest-selling body style in the matador line although it was in a market segment where two-door models were typically the most popular - and also most profitable.as a result, the boxy two-door hardtop body design was replaced with a completely different and sleeker coupe model 'to contend with the bull market for plush mid-size coupes that sprang up after the end of the muscle car era'.it also featured a design that was praised by owners along with their complaints about its low roofline.the design of the matador coupe has been described as 'polarizing' as well as being 'an evocative, swoopy coupe that perfectly captured the design ethos of the era.'factory-backed first-generation hardtops and second-generation coupes competed in nascar stock car racing from 1972 through 1975.drivers included mark donohue and bobby allison winning several races including the 1975 southern 500 at darlington.the amc matador captured five first-place wins.matadors in police livery were featured in television shows and movies during the 1970s.the matador coupe was a featured car and also a scale model of it was used as a flying car in the man with the golden gun, a james bond film released in 1974. | suasible | stenocardiac | afflation | no related information |

ethiopians are the native inhabitants of ethiopia, as well as the global diaspora of ethiopia.ethiopians constitute several component ethnic groups, many of which are closely related to ethnic groups in neighboring eritrea and other parts of the horn of africa.the first documented use of the name 'ethiopia' from greek name 'αἰθίοψ' (ethiopian) was in the 4th century during the reign of aksumite king ezana.there were three ethnolinguistic groups in the kingdom of aksum; semitic, cushitic, and nilo-saharan (ancestors of the modern-day kunama and nara).the kingdom of aksum remained a geopolitically influential entity until the pillage of its capital — also named axum — in the 10th century by queen gudit.nevertheless, the core aksumite civilization was preserved and continued into the successive zagwe dynasty.by this time, new ethnic groups emerged – the tigrayans and amharas.during the solomonic period, the latter established major political and cultural influence in the horn of africa.in the late middle ages, muslim states were established, including the sultanate of ifat, and its successor the adal sultanate.discontent with territory and religious dominance led to intense war between the ethiopian empire, the christian state, (consisting of the amhara, tigrayan, soddo gurage, and agaw ethnic groups) and the muslim state adal sultanate (consisting of semitic speaking harari formally known as the harla people and the argobba).during the 1600s, there were large-scale migrations of the oromo from the south into the highlands and also alongside the somali into adal or what was known as 'hararghe' (land of the hararis).a period of stability and peace continued through the gondarine period in 16th and 17th century, but ethiopia was divided into de facto autonomous regions in the mid-18th century.during this time, ethiopia was nominally ruled by an emperor who functioned as a puppet monarch of various regional lords and noblemen.this era was known as the zemene mesafint or 'era of the princes'.emperor tewodros ii managed to unify the decentralized ethiopian empire in 1855 and inaugurated a process of modernization that continued into successive regimes, resurrecting the empire as a regional power.in the late 19th-century during the reign of menelik ii, against the backdrop of the scramble for africa, the notion of ethiopian national integrity was strengthened by italian efforts at colonization.the italian invasion engendered a formidable national resistance, culminating in the battle of adwa in 1896 which resulted in a major ethiopian victory against the italians.the resulting treaty of addis ababa ended the italo-ethiopian war, and along with the nation's contemporaneous territorial expansion, largely established the modern-day boundaries of ethiopia.present-day ethiopia has a diverse population with many different languages and ethnic groups.ethiopians speak afro-asiatic languages (semitic, cushitic, and omotic) and nilo-saharan languages.the oromo, amhara, somali and tigrayans make up more than three-quarters (75%) of the population, but there are more than 80 different ethnic groups within ethiopia.some of these have as few as 10,000 members.it is estimated to be 3.5 million years old.in october 2015, scientists found a 4,500 years ago lived man called mota in a cave in southern central ethiopia.atypical to euroasians, which were believed reached the region after him, mota's genetic variants was not as 'light-colored eye or skin', resembles the modern aari tribes that live in the southern area of the country.another research suggests that euroasians arrived in the region resembles modern-day sardinians, or likely lbk culture of antiquity.by proofing mota has no european genome, archeologist theorized the near east population migrated to africa in 3,000 years ago.other evidence concluded that eurasian population made significant contribution as a result of back migration between 1,500 and 3,500 years ago. | ethiopia | leadername | mulatu teshome <tsp> ethiopia | leadername | hailemariam desalegn <tsp> addis ababa | ispartof | addis ababa stadium <tsp> addis ababa city hall | country | ethiopia <tsp> addis ababa city hall | location | addis ababa | the resulting treaty of addis ababa ended the italo-ethiopian war, and along with the nation's contemporaneous territorial expansion, largely established the modern-day boundaries of ethiopia. |

the amc matador is a series of american automobiles that were manufactured and marketed by american motors corporation (amc) across two generations, 1971–1973 (mid-size) and 1974–1978 (full-size), in two-door hardtop (first generation) and coupe (second generation) versions, as well as in four-door sedan and station wagon body styles.the first generation matador was focused on the 'family' market segment and was also offered in performance versions as highlighted in the nascar racing series with factory support from 1972 through 1975.with its second generation, the matador became amc's largest automobile after the ambassador, which shared the same platform, was discontinued after the 1974 model year.premium trim levels of the second generation matador coupe were marketed as the barcelona and oleg cassini (after the noted fashion designer) positioning the coupe in the personal luxury segment.the matador was fairly popular as a police car in the united states, and several television series featured matadors in prominent roles.abroad, matadors were also marketed under the rambler marque and were assembled under license in costa rica, mexico by vehículos automotores mexicanos (vam), and australia by australian motor industries (ami).matadors were also marketed in overseas markets that included exports of right-hand drive versions to the uk.with a facelift and a new name, the amc matadors were available as a two-door hardtop, four-door sedan, and station wagon body styles.the matador shared a modified platform with the full-size ambassador line with a shorter wheelbase.although related directly to the previous rebel models, amc began promoting the matador as more than a change in name with a slight facelift, to reposition the line in the highly competitive intermediate-car segment among consumers.the advertising campaign was built around the question 'what's a matador?'sedan and wagon models 'offered excellent value and were fairly popular' cars.matadors were also offered to fleet buyers with various police, taxicab, and other heavy-duty packages.they outperformed most other cars and 'was adopted as the official police car.'matadors became popular with government agencies and military units as well as police departments in the u.s. and the sedans and wagons were typically equipped with 360 cu in (5.9 l) or 401 cu in (6.6 l) v8 engines.matadors with heavy-duty police equipment were produced from 1971 through 1975.they continued to be in service longer than normal because of favorable field reports.the matador received a redesign in 1974, in part to meet new safety and crash requirements.the most significant change was to the two-door version.the hardtop was the slowest-selling body style in the matador line although it was in a market segment where two-door models were typically the most popular - and also most profitable.as a result, the boxy two-door hardtop body design was replaced with a completely different and sleeker coupe model 'to contend with the bull market for plush mid-size coupes that sprang up after the end of the muscle car era'.it also featured a design that was praised by owners along with their complaints about its low roofline.the design of the matador coupe has been described as 'polarizing' as well as being 'an evocative, swoopy coupe that perfectly captured the design ethos of the era.'factory-backed first-generation hardtops and second-generation coupes competed in nascar stock car racing from 1972 through 1975.drivers included mark donohue and bobby allison winning several races including the 1975 southern 500 at darlington.the amc matador captured five first-place wins.matadors in police livery were featured in television shows and movies during the 1970s.the matador coupe was a featured car and also a scale model of it was used as a flying car in the man with the golden gun, a james bond film released in 1974. | nonnominalistic | pleonaste | esuriency <tsp> nonnominalistic | emotionlessness | tuberculatonodose | no related information |

ethiopians are the native inhabitants of ethiopia, as well as the global diaspora of ethiopia.ethiopians constitute several component ethnic groups, many of which are closely related to ethnic groups in neighboring eritrea and other parts of the horn of africa.the first documented use of the name 'ethiopia' from greek name 'αἰθίοψ' (ethiopian) was in the 4th century during the reign of aksumite king ezana.there were three ethnolinguistic groups in the kingdom of aksum; semitic, cushitic, and nilo-saharan (ancestors of the modern-day kunama and nara).the kingdom of aksum remained a geopolitically influential entity until the pillage of its capital — also named axum — in the 10th century by queen gudit.nevertheless, the core aksumite civilization was preserved and continued into the successive zagwe dynasty.by this time, new ethnic groups emerged – the tigrayans and amharas.during the solomonic period, the latter established major political and cultural influence in the horn of africa.in the late middle ages, muslim states were established, including the sultanate of ifat, and its successor the adal sultanate.discontent with territory and religious dominance led to intense war between the ethiopian empire, the christian state, (consisting of the amhara, tigrayan, soddo gurage, and agaw ethnic groups) and the muslim state adal sultanate (consisting of semitic speaking harari formally known as the harla people and the argobba).during the 1600s, there were large-scale migrations of the oromo from the south into the highlands and also alongside the somali into adal or what was known as 'hararghe' (land of the hararis).a period of stability and peace continued through the gondarine period in 16th and 17th century, but ethiopia was divided into de facto autonomous regions in the mid-18th century.during this time, ethiopia was nominally ruled by an emperor who functioned as a puppet monarch of various regional lords and noblemen.this era was known as the zemene mesafint or 'era of the princes'.emperor tewodros ii managed to unify the decentralized ethiopian empire in 1855 and inaugurated a process of modernization that continued into successive regimes, resurrecting the empire as a regional power.in the late 19th-century during the reign of menelik ii, against the backdrop of the scramble for africa, the notion of ethiopian national integrity was strengthened by italian efforts at colonization.the italian invasion engendered a formidable national resistance, culminating in the battle of adwa in 1896 which resulted in a major ethiopian victory against the italians.the resulting treaty of addis ababa ended the italo-ethiopian war, and along with the nation's contemporaneous territorial expansion, largely established the modern-day boundaries of ethiopia.present-day ethiopia has a diverse population with many different languages and ethnic groups.ethiopians speak afro-asiatic languages (semitic, cushitic, and omotic) and nilo-saharan languages.the oromo, amhara, somali and tigrayans make up more than three-quarters (75%) of the population, but there are more than 80 different ethnic groups within ethiopia.some of these have as few as 10,000 members.it is estimated to be 3.5 million years old.in october 2015, scientists found a 4,500 years ago lived man called mota in a cave in southern central ethiopia.atypical to euroasians, which were believed reached the region after him, mota's genetic variants was not as 'light-colored eye or skin', resembles the modern aari tribes that live in the southern area of the country.another research suggests that euroasians arrived in the region resembles modern-day sardinians, or likely lbk culture of antiquity.by proofing mota has no european genome, archeologist theorized the near east population migrated to africa in 3,000 years ago.other evidence concluded that eurasian population made significant contribution as a result of back migration between 1,500 and 3,500 years ago. | nonsetting | unbowered | browden <tsp> nonsetting | paleornithology | downhauls | no related information |
the acura tl is an executive car that was manufactured by acura, the luxury division of honda.it was introduced in 1995 to replace the acura vigor and was badged for the japanese-market from 1996 to 2000 as the honda inspire and from 1996 to 2004 as the honda saber.the tl was acura's best-selling model until it was outsold by the mdx in 2007.in 2005, it ranked as the second best-selling luxury sedan in the united states behind the bmw 3 series, but sales decreased after the 2008 model year.four generations of the acura tl were produced, with the final fourth generation tl premiering in 2008 as a 2009 model and ending production in 2014, when it was replaced together with the tsx by the tlx.the 3.2 tl used the 3.2 l 200 hp (149 kw) sohc 24v v6 from the second generation acura legend.the debut of the tl signaled acura's shift from traditional vehicle names to alphanumeric designations.by replacing recognizable names such as vigor and legend with a two-letter designation, the luxury maker hoped to focus consumer attention on the acura name.the tl was the first acura model to adopt the new naming scheme.the 2.5 tl was positioned as the sporty model and the 3.2 focused more upon a luxurious ride.there were minimal styling differences between the two, but the 3.2 tl had larger tires despite the 2.5 tl's more sporty marketing.moreover, the added power in the 3.2 tl gave it better acceleration.both engines were mounted in a front-rear, or longitudinal position.this contrasted with the more typical transverse engine mount style, and was intended to provide better weight distribution and reduce nose dive.the engine mount design resulted in an elongated hood for the first generation tl, a shorter front overhang and longer wheelbase, fitting for a near-luxury car.the inline-5 engine in the 2.5 tl competed with similar 5-cylinder engines offered in audi and volvo models.the first 1996 acura tl was manufactured at sayama, japan on march 28, 1995.sales of the 2.5 tl began in spring 1995, but the 3.2 tl was delayed until fall because of a u.s.-japan trade dispute.the u.s. government had threatened to impose 100% tariffs on higher-priced japanese cars in response a growing u.s.-japan trade deficit.ultimately a deal was reached which avoided the tariffs.the first generation acura tl had standard features including dual airbags, antilock brakes, automatic climate control, a cassette/cd player sound system, and power windows and locks.leather was standard on the more upscale 3.2 tl, while the 2.5 tl featured a firmer suspension setup.like its predecessor, the vigor, this generation tl was a 4-door pillared hardtop, with frameless windows.additionally, all acura tls received a variable-speed intermittent wiper setting.the 3.2 tl had 205/65/15 tires and a v6 motor.the sport-targeted, 5-cylinder 2.5 tl was further fitted with new alloy wheels.1998 was the last year of tl production in japan, as the model was being redesigned for production in the united states.the second-generation tl (now called 3.2 tl) was released in 1998 and was now derived off the us-market honda accord platform.it was available with a newly designed 3.2 l 225 hp (168 kw) sohc vtec j32 v6 mated to a four-speed electronic automatic transmission with sportshift.the second-generation 3.2 tl (the 2.5 was dropped) was built in marysville, ohio, alongside the honda accord, at marysville auto plant.these cars were imported into japan and sold as honda inspire in the honda clio dealer network, and as honda saber in the honda verno dealer network. | acura tlx | assembly | marysville ohio <tsp> acura tlx | transmission | 9-speed zf 9hp automatic v6 <tsp> acura tlx | class | luxury vehicle <tsp> acura tlx | layout | front-wheel drive / all-wheel drive <tsp> acura tlx | engine | honda k engine | the acura tl is an executive car that was manufactured by acura, the luxury division of honda.it was introduced in 1995 to replace the acura vigor and was badged for the japanese-market from 1996 to 2000 as the honda inspire and from 1996 to 2004 as the honda saber.the debut of the tl signaled acura's shift from traditional vehicle names to alphanumeric designations.by replacing recognizable names such as vigor and legend with a two-letter designation, the luxury maker hoped to focus consumer attention on the acura name.the inline-5 engine in the 2.5 tl competed with similar 5-cylinder engines offered in audi and volvo models.the first 1996 acura tl was manufactured at sayama, japan on march 28, 1995.ultimately a deal was reached which avoided the tariffs.the first generation acura tl had standard features including dual airbags, antilock brakes, automatic climate control, a cassette/cd player sound system, and power windows and locks. |

ethiopians are the native inhabitants of ethiopia, as well as the global diaspora of ethiopia.ethiopians constitute several component ethnic groups, many of which are closely related to ethnic groups in neighboring eritrea and other parts of the horn of africa.the first documented use of the name 'ethiopia' from greek name 'αἰθίοψ' (ethiopian) was in the 4th century during the reign of aksumite king ezana.there were three ethnolinguistic groups in the kingdom of aksum; semitic, cushitic, and nilo-saharan (ancestors of the modern-day kunama and nara).the kingdom of aksum remained a geopolitically influential entity until the pillage of its capital — also named axum — in the 10th century by queen gudit.nevertheless, the core aksumite civilization was preserved and continued into the successive zagwe dynasty.by this time, new ethnic groups emerged – the tigrayans and amharas.during the solomonic period, the latter established major political and cultural influence in the horn of africa.in the late middle ages, muslim states were established, including the sultanate of ifat, and its successor the adal sultanate.discontent with territory and religious dominance led to intense war between the ethiopian empire, the christian state, (consisting of the amhara, tigrayan, soddo gurage, and agaw ethnic groups) and the muslim state adal sultanate (consisting of semitic speaking harari formally known as the harla people and the argobba).during the 1600s, there were large-scale migrations of the oromo from the south into the highlands and also alongside the somali into adal or what was known as 'hararghe' (land of the hararis).a period of stability and peace continued through the gondarine period in 16th and 17th century, but ethiopia was divided into de facto autonomous regions in the mid-18th century.during this time, ethiopia was nominally ruled by an emperor who functioned as a puppet monarch of various regional lords and noblemen.this era was known as the zemene mesafint or 'era of the princes'.emperor tewodros ii managed to unify the decentralized ethiopian empire in 1855 and inaugurated a process of modernization that continued into successive regimes, resurrecting the empire as a regional power.in the late 19th-century during the reign of menelik ii, against the backdrop of the scramble for africa, the notion of ethiopian national integrity was strengthened by italian efforts at colonization.the italian invasion engendered a formidable national resistance, culminating in the battle of adwa in 1896 which resulted in a major ethiopian victory against the italians.the resulting treaty of addis ababa ended the italo-ethiopian war, and along with the nation's contemporaneous territorial expansion, largely established the modern-day boundaries of ethiopia.present-day ethiopia has a diverse population with many different languages and ethnic groups.ethiopians speak afro-asiatic languages (semitic, cushitic, and omotic) and nilo-saharan languages.the oromo, amhara, somali and tigrayans make up more than three-quarters (75%) of the population, but there are more than 80 different ethnic groups within ethiopia.some of these have as few as 10,000 members.it is estimated to be 3.5 million years old.in october 2015, scientists found a 4,500 years ago lived man called mota in a cave in southern central ethiopia.atypical to euroasians, which were believed reached the region after him, mota's genetic variants was not as 'light-colored eye or skin', resembles the modern aari tribes that live in the southern area of the country.another research suggests that euroasians arrived in the region resembles modern-day sardinians, or likely lbk culture of antiquity.by proofing mota has no european genome, archeologist theorized the near east population migrated to africa in 3,000 years ago.other evidence concluded that eurasian population made significant contribution as a result of back migration between 1,500 and 3,500 years ago. | ethiopia | leadername | mulatu teshome <tsp> ethiopia | leadername | hailemariam desalegn <tsp> addis ababa city hall | country | ethiopia <tsp> addis ababa city hall | location | addis ababa <tsp> ethiopia | language | amharic | the resulting treaty of addis ababa ended the italo-ethiopian war, and along with the nation's contemporaneous territorial expansion, largely established the modern-day boundaries of ethiopia. |

ethiopians are the native inhabitants of ethiopia, as well as the global diaspora of ethiopia.ethiopians constitute several component ethnic groups, many of which are closely related to ethnic groups in neighboring eritrea and other parts of the horn of africa.the first documented use of the name 'ethiopia' from greek name 'αἰθίοψ' (ethiopian) was in the 4th century during the reign of aksumite king ezana.there were three ethnolinguistic groups in the kingdom of aksum; semitic, cushitic, and nilo-saharan (ancestors of the modern-day kunama and nara).the kingdom of aksum remained a geopolitically influential entity until the pillage of its capital — also named axum — in the 10th century by queen gudit.nevertheless, the core aksumite civilization was preserved and continued into the successive zagwe dynasty.by this time, new ethnic groups emerged – the tigrayans and amharas.during the solomonic period, the latter established major political and cultural influence in the horn of africa.in the late middle ages, muslim states were established, including the sultanate of ifat, and its successor the adal sultanate.discontent with territory and religious dominance led to intense war between the ethiopian empire, the christian state, (consisting of the amhara, tigrayan, soddo gurage, and agaw ethnic groups) and the muslim state adal sultanate (consisting of semitic speaking harari formally known as the harla people and the argobba).during the 1600s, there were large-scale migrations of the oromo from the south into the highlands and also alongside the somali into adal or what was known as 'hararghe' (land of the hararis).a period of stability and peace continued through the gondarine period in 16th and 17th century, but ethiopia was divided into de facto autonomous regions in the mid-18th century.during this time, ethiopia was nominally ruled by an emperor who functioned as a puppet monarch of various regional lords and noblemen.this era was known as the zemene mesafint or 'era of the princes'.emperor tewodros ii managed to unify the decentralized ethiopian empire in 1855 and inaugurated a process of modernization that continued into successive regimes, resurrecting the empire as a regional power.in the late 19th-century during the reign of menelik ii, against the backdrop of the scramble for africa, the notion of ethiopian national integrity was strengthened by italian efforts at colonization.the italian invasion engendered a formidable national resistance, culminating in the battle of adwa in 1896 which resulted in a major ethiopian victory against the italians.the resulting treaty of addis ababa ended the italo-ethiopian war, and along with the nation's contemporaneous territorial expansion, largely established the modern-day boundaries of ethiopia.present-day ethiopia has a diverse population with many different languages and ethnic groups.ethiopians speak afro-asiatic languages (semitic, cushitic, and omotic) and nilo-saharan languages.the oromo, amhara, somali and tigrayans make up more than three-quarters (75%) of the population, but there are more than 80 different ethnic groups within ethiopia.some of these have as few as 10,000 members.it is estimated to be 3.5 million years old.in october 2015, scientists found a 4,500 years ago lived man called mota in a cave in southern central ethiopia.atypical to euroasians, which were believed reached the region after him, mota's genetic variants was not as 'light-colored eye or skin', resembles the modern aari tribes that live in the southern area of the country.another research suggests that euroasians arrived in the region resembles modern-day sardinians, or likely lbk culture of antiquity.by proofing mota has no european genome, archeologist theorized the near east population migrated to africa in 3,000 years ago.other evidence concluded that eurasian population made significant contribution as a result of back migration between 1,500 and 3,500 years ago. | ethiopia | leadername | mulatu teshome <tsp> ethiopia | leadername | hailemariam desalegn <tsp> addis ababa city hall | country | ethiopia <tsp> addis ababa city hall | location | addis ababa <tsp> ethiopia | language | amharic | the resulting treaty of addis ababa ended the italo-ethiopian war, and along with the nation's contemporaneous territorial expansion, largely established the modern-day boundaries of ethiopia. |
the acura tl is an executive car that was manufactured by acura, the luxury division of honda.it was introduced in 1995 to replace the acura vigor and was badged for the japanese-market from 1996 to 2000 as the honda inspire and from 1996 to 2004 as the honda saber.the tl was acura's best-selling model until it was outsold by the mdx in 2007.in 2005, it ranked as the second best-selling luxury sedan in the united states behind the bmw 3 series, but sales decreased after the 2008 model year.four generations of the acura tl were produced, with the final fourth generation tl premiering in 2008 as a 2009 model and ending production in 2014, when it was replaced together with the tsx by the tlx.the 3.2 tl used the 3.2 l 200 hp (149 kw) sohc 24v v6 from the second generation acura legend.the debut of the tl signaled acura's shift from traditional vehicle names to alphanumeric designations.by replacing recognizable names such as vigor and legend with a two-letter designation, the luxury maker hoped to focus consumer attention on the acura name.the tl was the first acura model to adopt the new naming scheme.the 2.5 tl was positioned as the sporty model and the 3.2 focused more upon a luxurious ride.there were minimal styling differences between the two, but the 3.2 tl had larger tires despite the 2.5 tl's more sporty marketing.moreover, the added power in the 3.2 tl gave it better acceleration.both engines were mounted in a front-rear, or longitudinal position.this contrasted with the more typical transverse engine mount style, and was intended to provide better weight distribution and reduce nose dive.the engine mount design resulted in an elongated hood for the first generation tl, a shorter front overhang and longer wheelbase, fitting for a near-luxury car.the inline-5 engine in the 2.5 tl competed with similar 5-cylinder engines offered in audi and volvo models.the first 1996 acura tl was manufactured at sayama, japan on march 28, 1995.sales of the 2.5 tl began in spring 1995, but the 3.2 tl was delayed until fall because of a u.s.-japan trade dispute.the u.s. government had threatened to impose 100% tariffs on higher-priced japanese cars in response a growing u.s.-japan trade deficit.ultimately a deal was reached which avoided the tariffs.the first generation acura tl had standard features including dual airbags, antilock brakes, automatic climate control, a cassette/cd player sound system, and power windows and locks.leather was standard on the more upscale 3.2 tl, while the 2.5 tl featured a firmer suspension setup.like its predecessor, the vigor, this generation tl was a 4-door pillared hardtop, with frameless windows.additionally, all acura tls received a variable-speed intermittent wiper setting.the 3.2 tl had 205/65/15 tires and a v6 motor.the sport-targeted, 5-cylinder 2.5 tl was further fitted with new alloy wheels.1998 was the last year of tl production in japan, as the model was being redesigned for production in the united states.the second-generation tl (now called 3.2 tl) was released in 1998 and was now derived off the us-market honda accord platform.it was available with a newly designed 3.2 l 225 hp (168 kw) sohc vtec j32 v6 mated to a four-speed electronic automatic transmission with sportshift.the second-generation 3.2 tl (the 2.5 was dropped) was built in marysville, ohio, alongside the honda accord, at marysville auto plant.these cars were imported into japan and sold as honda inspire in the honda clio dealer network, and as honda saber in the honda verno dealer network. | acura tlx | assembly | marysville ohio <tsp> acura tlx | transmission | 9-speed zf 9hp automatic v6 <tsp> acura tlx | class | luxury vehicle <tsp> acura tlx | layout | front-wheel drive / all-wheel drive <tsp> acura tlx | engine | honda k engine | the acura tl is an executive car that was manufactured by acura, the luxury division of honda.it was introduced in 1995 to replace the acura vigor and was badged for the japanese-market from 1996 to 2000 as the honda inspire and from 1996 to 2004 as the honda saber.the debut of the tl signaled acura's shift from traditional vehicle names to alphanumeric designations.by replacing recognizable names such as vigor and legend with a two-letter designation, the luxury maker hoped to focus consumer attention on the acura name.the inline-5 engine in the 2.5 tl competed with similar 5-cylinder engines offered in audi and volvo models.the first 1996 acura tl was manufactured at sayama, japan on march 28, 1995.ultimately a deal was reached which avoided the tariffs.the first generation acura tl had standard features including dual airbags, antilock brakes, automatic climate control, a cassette/cd player sound system, and power windows and locks. |

50°50′n 4°00′e belgium, officially the kingdom of belgium, is a country in northwestern europe.the country is bordered by the netherlands to the north, germany to the east, luxembourg to the southeast, france to the southwest, and the north sea to the northwest.it covers an area of 30,528 km2 (11,787 sq mi) and has a population of more than 11.5 million, making it the 22nd most densely populated country in the world and the 6th most densely populated country in europe, with a density of 376/km2 (970/sq mi).belgium is part of an area known as the low countries, historically a somewhat larger region than the benelux group of states, as it also included parts of northern france.the capital and largest city is brussels; other major cities are antwerp, ghent, charleroi, liège, bruges, namur, and leuven.belgium is a sovereign state and a federal constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary system.its institutional organization is complex and is structured on both regional and linguistic grounds.it is divided into three highly autonomous regions: the flemish region (flanders) in the north, the walloon region (wallonia) in the south, and the brussels-capital region.brussels is the smallest and most densely populated region, as well as the richest region in terms of gdp per capita.belgium is also home to two main linguistic communities: the flemish community, which constitutes about 60 percent of the population, and the french community, which constitutes about 40 percent of the population.a small german-speaking community, numbering around one percent, exists in the east cantons.the brussels-capital region is officially bilingual in french and dutch, although french is the dominant language.belgium's linguistic diversity and related political conflicts are reflected in its complex system of governance, made up of six different governments.since the middle ages, belgium's central location near several major rivers has meant that the area has been relatively prosperous, connected commercially and politically to its bigger neighbours.the country as it exists today was established following the 1830 belgian revolution, when it seceded from the united kingdom of the netherlands, which had incorporated the southern netherlands (which comprised most of modern-day belgium) after the congress of vienna in 1815.the name chosen for the new state is derived from the latin word belgium, used in julius caesar's 'gallic wars', to describe a nearby region in the period around 55 bce.belgium has also been the battleground of european powers, earning the moniker the 'battlefield of europe', a reputation reinforced in the 20th century by both world wars.belgium participated in the industrial revolution, and during the course of the 20th century, possessed a number of colonies in africa.between 1885 and 1908, the congo free state, which was privately owned by king leopold ii of belgium, was characterized by widespread atrocities and disease, leading to a population decline of millions; amid public outcry in europe, belgium annexed the territory as a colony.the belgian colonial empire gained independence between 1960 and 1962.the second half of the 20th century was marked by rising tensions between the dutch-speaking and the french-speaking citizens fueled by differences in language and culture and the unequal economic development of flanders and wallonia.this continuing antagonism has led to several far-reaching state reforms, resulting in the transition from a unitary to a federal arrangement between 1970 and 1993.despite the reforms, tensions between the groups have remained, if not increased; there is significant separatism particularly among the flemish; controversial language laws exist such as the municipalities with language facilities; and the formation of a coalition government took 18 months following the june 2010 federal election, a world record. | belgium | leadername | charles michel <tsp> belgium | leadername | philippe of belgium <tsp> antwerp international airport | cityserved | antwerp <tsp> belgium | language | french language <tsp> antwerp | country | belgium | 50°50′n 4°00′e belgium, officially the kingdom of belgium, is a country in northwestern europe.belgium is part of an area known as the low countries, historically a somewhat larger region than the benelux group of states, as it also included parts of northern france.the capital and largest city is brussels;

london ( listen) is the capital and largest city of england and the united kingdom, with a population of just under 9 million.it stands on the river thames in south-east england at the head of a 50-mile (80 km) estuary down to the north sea, and has been a major settlement for two millennia.the city of london, its ancient core and financial centre, was founded by the romans as londinium and retains its medieval boundaries.the city of westminster, to the west of the city of london, has for centuries hosted the national government and parliament.since the 19th century, the name 'london' has also referred to the metropolis around this core, historically split between the counties of middlesex, essex, surrey, kent, and hertfordshire, which since 1965 has largely comprised greater london, which is governed by 33 local authorities and the greater london authority.as one of the world's major global cities, london exerts a strong influence on its arts, entertainment, fashion, commerce and finance, education, health care, media, science and technology, tourism, and transport and communications.its gdp (€801.66 billion in 2017) makes it the largest urban economy in europe, and it is one of the major financial centres in the world.with europe's largest concentration of higher education institutions, it is home to some of the highest-ranked academic institutions in the world—imperial college london in natural and applied sciences, the london school of economics in social sciences, and the comprehensive university college london.london is the most visited city in europe and has the busiest city airport system in the world.the london underground is the oldest rapid transit system in the world.london's diverse cultures encompass over 300 languages.the mid-2018 population of greater london of about 9 million made it europe's third-most populous city, accounting for 13.4% of the population of the united kingdom and over 16% of the population of england.the greater london built-up area is the fourth-most populous in europe with about 9.8 million inhabitants at the 2011 census.the london metropolitan area is the third-most populous in europe with about 14 million inhabitants in 2016, granting london the status of a megacity.london has four world heritage sites: the tower of london; kew gardens; the combined palace of westminster, westminster abbey, and st margaret's church; and also the historic settlement in greenwich, where the royal observatory, greenwich defines the prime meridian (0° longitude) and greenwich mean time.other landmarks include buckingham palace, the london eye, piccadilly circus, st paul's cathedral, tower bridge, and trafalgar square.london has many museums, galleries, libraries and cultural venues, including the british museum, national gallery, natural history museum, tate modern, british library, and numerous west end theatres.important sporting events held in london include the fa cup final (held annually at wembley stadium), wimbledon tennis championships and the london marathon.in 2012, london became the first city to host three summer olympic games.the earliest attested appears in geoffrey of monmouth's historia regum britanniae, written around 1136.modern scientific analyses of the name must account for the origins of the different forms found in early sources: latin (usually londinium), old english (usually lunden), and welsh (usually llundein), with reference to the known developments over time of sounds in those different languages.it is agreed that the name came into these languages from common brythonic; recent work tends to reconstruct the lost celtic form of the name as *londonjon or something similar.this was adapted into latin as londinium and borrowed into old english.the toponymy of the common brythonic form is debated.prominent was richard coates' 1998 argument that it derived from pre-celtic old european *(p)lowonida, meaning 'river too wide to ford'. | undispelled | caudillism | boylike <tsp> undispelled | venutian | thermoresistant | no related information |

other major cities are antwerp, ghent, charleroi, liège, bruges, namur, and leuven.belgium is a sovereign state and a federal constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary system.its institutional organization is complex and is structured on both regional and linguistic grounds.it is divided into three highly autonomous regions: the flemish region (flanders) in the north, the walloon region (wallonia) in the south, and the brussels-capital region.brussels is the smallest and most densely populated region, as well as the richest region in terms of gdp per capita.belgium is also home to two main linguistic communities: the flemish community, which constitutes about 60 percent of the population, and the french community, which constitutes about 40 percent of the population.a small german-speaking community, numbering around one percent, exists in the east cantons.the brussels-capital region is officially bilingual in french and dutch, although french is the dominant language.belgium's linguistic diversity and related political conflicts are reflected in its complex system of governance, made up of six different governments.since the middle ages, belgium's central location near several major rivers has meant that the area has been relatively prosperous, connected commercially and politically to its bigger neighbours.the country as it exists today was established following the 1830 belgian revolution, when it seceded from the united kingdom of the netherlands, which had incorporated the southern netherlands (which comprised most of modern-day belgium) after the congress of vienna in 1815.the name chosen for the new state is derived from the latin word belgium, used in julius caesar's 'gallic wars', to describe a nearby region in the period around 55 bce.belgium has also been the battleground of european powers, earning the moniker the 'battlefield of europe', a reputation reinforced in the 20th century by both world wars.belgium participated in the industrial revolution, and during the course of the 20th century, possessed a number of colonies in africa.between 1885 and 1908, the congo free state, which was privately owned by king leopold ii of belgium, was characterized by widespread atrocities and disease, leading to a population decline of millions; amid public outcry in europe, belgium annexed the territory as a colony.the belgian colonial empire gained independence between 1960 and 1962.the second half of the 20th century was marked by rising tensions between the dutch-speaking and the french-speaking citizens fueled by differences in language and culture and the unequal economic development of flanders and wallonia.this continuing antagonism has led to several far-reaching state reforms, resulting in the transition from a unitary to a federal arrangement between 1970 and 1993.despite the reforms, tensions between the groups have remained, if not increased; there is significant separatism particularly among the flemish; controversial language laws exist such as the municipalities with language facilities; and the formation of a coalition government took 18 months following the june 2010 federal election, a world record. | belgium | leadername | philippe of belgium <tsp> antwerp international airport | cityserved | antwerp <tsp> belgium | leadername | charles michel <tsp> antwerp | country | belgium <tsp> belgium | language | dutch language | 50°50′n 4°00′e belgium, officially the kingdom of belgium, is a country in northwestern europe.belgium is part of an area known as the low countries, historically a somewhat larger region than the benelux group of states, as it also included parts of northern france.the capital and largest city is brussels;

an upper house, seanad éireann; and an elected president (uachtarán) who serves as the largely ceremonial head of state, but with some important powers and duties.the head of government is the taoiseach (prime minister, literally 'chief'), who is elected by the dáil and appointed by the president; the taoiseach in turn appoints other government ministers.the irish free state was created, with dominion status, in 1922 following the anglo-irish treaty.in 1937, a new constitution was adopted, in which the state was named 'ireland' and effectively became a republic, with an elected non-executive president.it was officially declared a republic in 1949, following the republic of ireland act 1948.ireland became a member of the united nations in december 1955.it joined the european communities (ec), the predecessor of the european union, in 1973.the state had no formal relations with northern ireland for most of the twentieth century, but during the 1980s and 1990s, the british and irish governments worked with the northern ireland parties towards a resolution to 'the troubles'.since the signing of the good friday agreement in 1998, the irish government and northern ireland executive have co-operated on a number of policy areas under the north/south ministerial council created by the agreement.ireland is an advanced economy and one of europe's major financial hubs is centred on dublin.ireland ranks among the top ten wealthiest countries in the world in terms of both gdp and gni per capita.as of 2016, this was partially ascribed to distortions caused by the tax inversion practices of certain multinationals operating in ireland.after joining the ec, the country's government enacted a series of liberal economic policies that helped to boost economic growth between 1995 and 2007, a period now often referred to as the celtic tiger.a period of recession and a reversal in growth then followed during the great recession, which was exacerbated by the bursting of the irish property bubble.a developed country, ireland's quality of life is ranked amongst the highest in the world, and the country performs well in several national performance metrics, including healthcare, economic freedom and freedom of the press.ireland is a member of the european union and is a founding member of the council of europe and the oecd.the irish government has followed a policy of military neutrality through non-alignment since prior to world war ii, and the country is consequently not a member of nato, although it is a member of partnership for peace and aspects of pesco.the state created in 1922, comprising 26 of the 32 counties of ireland, was 'styled and known as the irish free state' (saorstát éireann).the constitution of ireland, adopted in 1937, says that 'the name of the state is éire, or, in the english language, ireland'.section 2 of the republic of ireland act 1948 states, 'it is hereby declared that the description of the state shall be the republic of ireland.' | republic of ireland | language | english language <tsp> adare manor | country | republic of ireland <tsp> republic of ireland | leadername | enda kenny <tsp> republic of ireland | demonym | irish people <tsp> republic of ireland | currency | euro | ireland (irish: éire [ˈeːɾʲə] (listen)), also known as the republic of ireland (poblacht na héireann), is a country in north-western europe consisting of 26 of the 32 counties of the island of ireland.the state had no formal relations with northern ireland for most of the twentieth century, but during the 1980s and 1990s, the british and irish governments worked with the northern ireland parties towards a resolution to 'the troubles'.since the signing of the good friday agreement in 1998, the irish government and northern ireland executive have co-operated on a number of policy areas under the north/south ministerial council created by the agreement.ireland is an advanced economy and one of europe's major financial hubs is centred on dublin.a period of recession and a reversal in growth then followed during the great recession, which was exacerbated by the bursting of the irish property bubble.a developed country, ireland's quality of life is ranked amongst the highest in the world, and the country performs well in several national performance metrics, including healthcare, economic freedom and freedom of the press.ireland is a member of the european union and is a founding member of the council of europe and the oecd.the state created in 1922, comprising 26 of the 32 counties of ireland, was 'styled and known as the irish free state' (saorstát éireann).the constitution of ireland, adopted in 1937, says that 'the name of the state is éire, or, in the english language, ireland'. |

the alhambra (, spanish: [aˈlambɾa ]; arabic: الْحَمْرَاء, romanized: al-ḥamrāʼ ) is a palace and fortress complex located in granada, andalusia, spain.it is one of the most famous monuments of islamic architecture and one of the best-preserved palaces of the historic islamic world, in addition to containing notable examples of spanish renaissance architecture.the complex was begun in 1238 by muhammad i ibn al-ahmar, the first nasrid emir and founder of the emirate of granada, the last muslim state of al-andalus.it was built on the sabika hill, an outcrop of the sierra nevada which had been the site of earlier fortresses and of the 11th-century palace of samuel ibn naghrillah.later nasrid rulers continuously modified the site.the most significant construction campaigns, which gave the royal palaces much of their definitive character, took place in the 14th century during the reigns of yusuf i and muhammad v. after the conclusion of the christian reconquista in 1492, the site became the royal court of ferdinand and isabella (where christopher columbus received royal endorsement for his expedition), and the palaces were partially altered.in 1526, charles v commissioned a new renaissance-style palace in direct juxtaposition with the nasrid palaces, but it was left uncompleted in the early 17th century.after being allowed to fall into disrepair for centuries, with its buildings occupied by squatters, the alhambra was rediscovered following the defeat of napoleon i, whose troops destroyed parts of the site.the rediscoverers were first british intellectuals and then other american and northern european romantic travelers.the most influential of them was washington irving, whose tales of the alhambra (1832) brought international attention to the site.the alhambra was one of the first islamic monuments to become the object of modern scientific study and has been the subject of numerous restorations since the 19th century.it is now one of spain's major tourist attractions and a unesco world heritage site.during the nasrid era, the alhambra was a self-contained city separate from the rest of granada below.it contained most of the amenities of a muslim city such as a friday mosque, hammams (public baths), roads, houses, artisan workshops, a tannery, and a sophisticated water supply system.as a royal city and citadel, it contained at least six major palaces, most of them located along the northern edge where they commanded views over the albaicín quarter.the most famous and best-preserved are the mexuar, the comares palace, the palace of the lions, and the partal palace, which form the main attraction to visitors today.the other palaces are known from historical sources and from modern excavations.at the alhambra's western tip is the alcazaba fortress.multiple smaller towers and fortified gates are also located along the alhambra's walls.outside the alhambra walls and located nearby to the east is the generalife, a former nasrid country estate and summer palace accompanied by historic orchards and modern landscaped gardens.the architecture of the nasrid palaces reflects the tradition of moorish architecture developed over previous centuries.it is characterized by the use of the courtyard as a central space and basic unit around which other halls and rooms were organized.courtyards typically had water features at their center, such as a reflective pool or a fountain.decoration was focused on the inside of the building and was executed primarily with tile mosaics on lower walls and carved stucco on the upper walls.geometric patterns, vegetal motifs, and arabic inscriptions were the main types of decorative motifs.additionally, 'stalactite'-like sculpting, known as muqarnas, was used for three-dimensional features like vaulted ceilings.'the red one' (f.), the complete form of which was الْقَلْعَةُ ٱلْحَمْرَاءُ al-qalʻat al-ḥamrāʼ 'the red fortress (qalat)'. | alhambra | owner | p&o company <tsp> alhambra | powertype | humphrys tennant and dykes <tsp> humphrys tennant and dykes | location | london <tsp> alhambra | builder | samuda brothers <tsp> alhambra | length | 638000 millimetres | the alhambra (, spanish: [aˈlambɾa ];

the alhambra (, spanish: [aˈlambɾa ]; arabic: الْحَمْرَاء, romanized: al-ḥamrāʼ ) is a palace and fortress complex located in granada, andalusia, spain.it is one of the most famous monuments of islamic architecture and one of the best-preserved palaces of the historic islamic world, in addition to containing notable examples of spanish renaissance architecture.the complex was begun in 1238 by muhammad i ibn al-ahmar, the first nasrid emir and founder of the emirate of granada, the last muslim state of al-andalus.it was built on the sabika hill, an outcrop of the sierra nevada which had been the site of earlier fortresses and of the 11th-century palace of samuel ibn naghrillah.later nasrid rulers continuously modified the site.the most significant construction campaigns, which gave the royal palaces much of their definitive character, took place in the 14th century during the reigns of yusuf i and muhammad v. after the conclusion of the christian reconquista in 1492, the site became the royal court of ferdinand and isabella (where christopher columbus received royal endorsement for his expedition), and the palaces were partially altered.in 1526, charles v commissioned a new renaissance-style palace in direct juxtaposition with the nasrid palaces, but it was left uncompleted in the early 17th century.after being allowed to fall into disrepair for centuries, with its buildings occupied by squatters, the alhambra was rediscovered following the defeat of napoleon i, whose troops destroyed parts of the site.the rediscoverers were first british intellectuals and then other american and northern european romantic travelers.the most influential of them was washington irving, whose tales of the alhambra (1832) brought international attention to the site.the alhambra was one of the first islamic monuments to become the object of modern scientific study and has been the subject of numerous restorations since the 19th century.it is now one of spain's major tourist attractions and a unesco world heritage site.during the nasrid era, the alhambra was a self-contained city separate from the rest of granada below.it contained most of the amenities of a muslim city such as a friday mosque, hammams (public baths), roads, houses, artisan workshops, a tannery, and a sophisticated water supply system.as a royal city and citadel, it contained at least six major palaces, most of them located along the northern edge where they commanded views over the albaicín quarter.the most famous and best-preserved are the mexuar, the comares palace, the palace of the lions, and the partal palace, which form the main attraction to visitors today.the other palaces are known from historical sources and from modern excavations.at the alhambra's western tip is the alcazaba fortress.multiple smaller towers and fortified gates are also located along the alhambra's walls.outside the alhambra walls and located nearby to the east is the generalife, a former nasrid country estate and summer palace accompanied by historic orchards and modern landscaped gardens.the architecture of the nasrid palaces reflects the tradition of moorish architecture developed over previous centuries.it is characterized by the use of the courtyard as a central space and basic unit around which other halls and rooms were organized.courtyards typically had water features at their center, such as a reflective pool or a fountain.decoration was focused on the inside of the building and was executed primarily with tile mosaics on lower walls and carved stucco on the upper walls.geometric patterns, vegetal motifs, and arabic inscriptions were the main types of decorative motifs.additionally, 'stalactite'-like sculpting, known as muqarnas, was used for three-dimensional features like vaulted ceilings.'the red one' (f.), the complete form of which was الْقَلْعَةُ ٱلْحَمْرَاءُ al-qalʻat al-ḥamrāʼ 'the red fortress (qalat)'. | alhambra | powertype | humphrys tennant and dykes <tsp> alhambra | shipbeam | 83 m <tsp> alhambra | length | 638000 millimetres <tsp> alhambra | builder | samuda brothers <tsp> alhambra | topspeed | 1852 | the alhambra (, spanish: [aˈlambɾa ];
