manchester ( listen) is a city and metropolitan borough in the county of greater manchester, england.it had a population of 552,000 at the 2021 census.it is bordered by the cheshire plain to the south, the pennines to the north and east, and the neighbouring city of salford to the west.the two cities and the surrounding towns form one of the united kingdom's most populous conurbations, the greater manchester built-up area, which has a population of 2.87 million.the city borders the boroughs of trafford, stockport, tameside, oldham, rochdale, bury, and salford.the history of manchester began with the civilian settlement associated with the roman fort (castra) of mamucium or mancunium, established in about ad 79 on a sandstone bluff near the confluence of the rivers medlock and irwell.historically part of lancashire, areas of cheshire south of the river mersey were incorporated into manchester in the 20th century, including wythenshawe in 1931.throughout the middle ages manchester remained a manorial township, but began to expand 'at an astonishing rate' around the turn of the 19th century.manchester's unplanned urbanisation was brought on by a boom in textile manufacture during the industrial revolution, and resulted in it becoming the world's first industrialised city.manchester achieved city status in 1853.the manchester ship canal opened in 1894, creating the port of manchester and linking the city to the irish sea, 36 miles (58 km) to the west.its fortune declined after the second world war, owing to deindustrialisation, and the ira bombing in 1996 led to extensive investment and regeneration.following considerable redevelopment, manchester was the host city for the 2002 commonwealth games.the city is notable for its architecture, culture, musical exports, media links, scientific and engineering output, social impact, sports clubs, and transport connections.manchester liverpool road railway station was the world's first inter-city passenger railway station.at the university of manchester, ernest rutherford first split the atom in 1917, frederic c. williams, tom kilburn and geoff tootill developed the world's first stored-program computer in 1948, and andre geim and konstantin novoselov first isolated graphene in 2004.the city has a large urban sprawl which forms from the city centre into the other neighboring authorities which include the four heatons, failsworth, prestwich, stretford, sale, droylsden, old trafford and reddish.the city is also contigious with salford and its borough but is separated from it by the river irwell.this urban area is cutoff by the m60 aka the manchester outer ring road which runs in a circular around the city and these areas.it joins the m62 to the northeast and the m602 to the west as well as the east lancashire road and a6 among other a-roads.these names are generally thought to represent a latinisation of an original brittonic name.the generally accepted etymology of this name is that it comes from brittonic *mamm- ('breast', in reference to a 'breast-like hill').however, more recent work suggests that it could come from *mamma ('mother', in reference to a local river goddess).both usages are preserved in insular celtic languages, such as mam meaning 'breast' in irish and 'mother' in welsh.the suffix -chester is from old english ceaster ('roman fortification', itself a loanword from latin castracode: lat promoted to code: la , 'fort; fortified town').their territory extended across the fertile lowland of what is now salford and stretford.following the roman conquest of britain in the 1st century, general agricola ordered the construction of a fort named mamucium in the year 79 to ensure that roman interests in deva victrix (chester) and eboracum (york) were protected from the brigantes. | beferned | overslipping | distensions | no related information |

montevideo (, us also ; spanish pronunciation: [monteβiˈðeo]) is the capital and largest city of uruguay.according to the 2011 census, the city proper has a population of 1,319,108 (about one-third of the country's total population) in an area of 201 square kilometers (78 sq mi).montevideo is situated on the southern coast of the country, on the northeastern bank of the río de la plata.the city was established in 1724 by a spanish soldier, bruno mauricio de zabala, as a strategic move amidst the spanish-portuguese dispute over the platine region.it was also under brief british rule in 1807, but eventually the city was retaken by spanish criollos who defeated the british invasions of the river plate.montevideo is the seat of the administrative headquarters of mercosur and aladi, latin america's leading trade blocs, a position that entailed comparisons to the role of brussels in europe.the 2019 mercer's report on quality of life, rated montevideo first in latin america, a rank the city has consistently held since 2005.as of 2010, montevideo was the 19th largest city economy in the continent and 9th highest income earner among major cities.in 2022, it has a projected gdp of $53.9 billion, with a per capita of $30,148.in 2018, it was classified as a beta global city ranking eighth in latin america and 84th in the world.montevideo hosted every match during the first fifa world cup, in 1930.described as a 'vibrant, eclectic place with a rich cultural life', and 'a thriving tech center and entrepreneurial culture', montevideo ranked eighth in latin america on the 2013 mastercard global destination cities index.it is the hub of commerce and higher education in uruguay as well as its chief port.the city is also the financial hub of uruguay and the cultural anchor of a metropolitan area with a population of around 2 million.all agree that 'monte' refers to the cerro de montevideo, the hill situated across the bay of montevideo, but there is disagreement about the etymological origin of the 'video' part.monte vide eu ('i saw a mount') is the most widespread belief but is rejected by the majority of experts, who consider it unlikely because it involves a mix of dialects.the name would come from a portuguese expression which means 'i saw a mount', wrongly pronounced by an anonymous sailor belonging to the expedition of fernando de magallanes on catching sight of the cerro de montevideo.monte vidi: this hypothesis comes from the 'diario de navegación' (navigational calendar) of boatswain francisco de albo, member of the expedition of fernando de magallanes, who wrote, 'tuesday of the said [month of january 1520] we were on the straits of cape santa maría [now punta del este], from where the coast runs east to west, and the terrain is sandy, and at the right of the cape there is a mountain like a hat to which we gave the name 'montevidi'.'this is the oldest spanish document that mentions the promontory with a name similar to the one that designates the city, but it does not contain any mention of the alleged cry 'monte vide eu.'monte-vi-d-e-o (monte vi de este a oeste): according to rolando laguarda trías, professor of history, the spaniards annotated the geographic location on a map or portolan chart, so that the mount/hill is the vi (6th) mount observable on the coast, navigating río de la plata from east to west.with the passing of time, these words were unified to 'montevideo'.no conclusive evidence has been found to confirm this academic hypothesis, nor can it be asserted with certainty which were the other five mounts observable before the cerro. | montevideo | country | uruguay | montevideo (, us also ; spanish pronunciation: [monteβiˈðeo]) is the capital and largest city of uruguay.described as a 'vibrant, eclectic place with a rich cultural life', and 'a thriving tech center and entrepreneurial culture', montevideo ranked eighth in latin america on the 2013 mastercard global destination cities index.it is the hub of commerce and higher education in uruguay as well as its chief port. |

songwriter, record executive and philanthropist.ertegun was the co-founder and president of atlantic records.he discovered and championed many leading rhythm and blues and rock musicians.ertegun also wrote classic blues and pop songs.he served as the chairman of the rock and roll hall of fame and museum, located in cleveland, ohio.ertegun has been described as 'one of the most significant figures in the modern recording industry.'in 2017 he was inducted into the rhythm and blues music hall of fame in recognition of his work in the music business.ertegun helped foster ties between the u.s. and turkey, his birthplace.he served as the chairman of the american turkish society for over 20 years until his death.he also co-founded the new york cosmos soccer team of the original north american soccer league.his mother, hayrünnisa, was an accomplished musician who played keyboard and stringed instruments.she bought the popular records of the day, to which ahmet and his brother, nesuhi listened.his older brother nesuhi introduced him to jazz music, taking him at the age of nine to see the duke ellington and cab calloway orchestras in london.in 1935, ahmet and his family moved to washington, d.c., with his father, munir ertegun, who was appointed as the ambassador of the republic of turkey to the united states.when ahmet was 14, his mother bought him a record-cutting machine, which he used to compose and add lyrics to instrumental records.ertegun's love for music pulled him into the heart of washington, dc's black district where he would routinely see such top acts as duke ellington, cab calloway, billie holiday and louis armstrong.he attended landon school, an affluent all-male private school in bethesda, maryland.ahmet joked, 'i got my real education at the howard' — howard being the howard theatre, an historic performance space located in washington, dc.despite his affluent upbringing, ertegun began to see a different world from his affluent peers.ertegun would later say: 'i began to discover a little bit about the situation of black people in america and experienced immediate empathy with the victims of such senseless discrimination, because, although turks were never slaves, they were regarded as enemies within europe because of their muslim beliefs.'ertegun and his brother frequented milt gabler's commodore music shop, assembled a collection of over 15,000 jazz and blues 78s, and became acquainted with musicians such as ellington, lena horne and jelly roll morton.ahmet and nesuhi staged concerts by lester young, sidney bechet and other jazz giants.they also traveled to new orleans and to harlem to listen to music and develop a keen awareness of developing musical tastes.ertegun graduated from st. john's college in annapolis in 1944.in november of the same year, munir ertegun died.in 1946 president harry truman ordered the battleship uss missouri to return his body to turkey as a demonstration of friendship between the us and turkey.this show of support was meant to counter the soviet union's potential political demands on turkey.at the time of his father's death, ahmet was taking graduate courses in medieval philosophy at georgetown university.soon afterward, when the rest of the family returned permanently to turkey, ahmet and nesuhi stayed in the united states.while nesuhi moved to los angeles, ahmet stayed in washington and decided to get into the record business as a temporary measure to help him through college.financed by family dentist dr. vahdi sabit, they formed atlantic records in september 1947 in

1036 ganymed, provisional designation 1924 td, is a stony asteroid on a highly eccentric orbit, classified as a near-earth object of the amor group.it was discovered by german astronomer walter baade at the bergedorf observatory in hamburg on 23 october 1924, and named after ganymede from greek mythology.with a diameter of approximately 35 kilometers (22 miles), ganymed is the largest of all near-earth objects but does not cross earth's orbit.the s-type asteroid has a rotation period of 10.3 hours.in october 2024, it is predicted to approach earth at a distance of 56,000,000 km; 35,000,000 mi (0.374097 au).it orbits the sun at a distance of 1.2–4.1 au about once every 4 years and 4 months (i.e., 52 months or 1,587 days; semi-major axis of 2.66 au).its orbit has a high eccentricity of 0.53 and an inclination of 27° with respect to the ecliptic.the body's observation arc begins at the discovering observatory on 24 october 1924 (1924-10-24), the night after its official discovery observation.its next pass of the earth will be at a distance of 0.374097 au (56,000,000 km; 34,800,000 mi) on 13 october 2024 (2024-10-13).on 16 december 2176 (2176-12-16), it will pass at a distance of 0.02868 au (4,290,000 km; 2,670,000 mi) from mars.ganymede was a trojan prince abducted by zeus to serve as a cup-bearer to the greek gods.the name had previously also been given to jupiter's third moon, 'ganymede', which was discovered in 1610 by italian astronomer galileo galilei.a 1931 paper published the absolute magnitude, based on observations to date, as 9.24, slightly brighter than the present value of 9.45.ganymed is a stony s-type asteroid, in the tholen, smass and in the s3os2 taxonomy.this means that it is relatively reflective and composed of iron and magnesium silicates.spectral measurements put ganymed in the s (vi) spectral subtype, indicating a surface rich in orthopyroxenes, and possibly metals (although if metals are present they are covered and not readily apparent in the spectra).carry published a diameter 34.28±1.38 kilometers in 2012.an occultation of a star by ganymed was observed from california on 22 august 1985.additional observations in 2011 gave an occultation cross-section with a semi-major and minor axis of 39.3 and 18.9 kilometers, respectively.analysis of the best-rated lightcurves obtained by american photometrist frederick pilcher at his organ mesa observatory (g50) in new mexico during 2011 gave a rotation period of 10.297 hours with a consolidated brightness amplitude between 0.28 and 0.31 magnitude (u=3-/3/3).three studies using modeled photometric data from the uppsala asteroid photometric catalogue, wise thermal infrared data and other sources, gave a concurring period of 10.313, 10.31284, and 10.31304 hours, respectively.each modeled lightcurve also determined two spin axes of (214.0°, −73.0°), (190.0°, −78.0°), as well as (198.0°, −79.0°) in ecliptic coordinates (λ, β; l1/b1), respectively.in 1998, radar observations of ganymed by the arecibo radio telescope produced images of the asteroid, revealing a roughly spherical object.polarimetric observations conducted by japanese astronomers concluded that there was a weak correlation between the object's light- and polarimetry curve as a function of rotation angle.because polarization is dependent on surface terrain and composition, rather than the observed size of the object like the lightcurve, this suggests that the surface features of the asteroid are roughly uniform over its observed surface.'spectral observations of 19 weathered and 23 fresh neas and their correlations with orbital parameters'.icarus.188 (1): 175–188.bibcode:2007icar..188..175f.doi:10.1016/j.icarus.2006.11.023. | 1036 ganymed | orbitalperiod | 3749760 seconds | no related information |

nrbq is an american rock band founded by terry adams (piano), steve ferguson (guitar) and joey spampinato (bass).originally the 'new rhythm and blues quintet', the group was formed around 1965.adams disbanded it for a time, and the group re-formed in 1967.today's quartet is known for its live performances, containing a high degree of spontaneity and levity, and blending rock, pop, jazz, blues and tin pan alley styles.its current membership comprises the quartet of pianist adams, bassist casey mcdonough, guitarist scott ligon, and drummer john perrin.some of the more notable members in the band's long history are singer, writer and bassist joey spampinato, guitarists al anderson and johnny spampinato; drummers tom staley and tom ardolino; and vocalist frank gadler.along with drummer charlie craig, they made home tapes of their experiments.the first known reference to the band's name can be heard on one of these home tapes, with donn announcing, 'here they are, the new rhythm and blues quintet!'as though presenting them to a live audience.in late spring of 1966, guitarist steve ferguson was invited to join nrbq after he quit mersey-beats usa (no relation to the liverpool group who recorded 'i stand accused').he met adams when the latter briefly joined mersey-beats usa to fill in for the regular keyboard player.after playing a few live dates in louisville, jimmy orten (soul inc) was recruited on bass and vocals and the band left for florida in late 1966.in miami, early january 1967, nrbq played six nights at the cheetah.soon after, orten and ferguson returned to louisville.adams stayed behind and joined the seven of us, a band that was playing the same club.by august, the nrbq was adams (keyboards), ferguson (guitar), spampinato (bass) and frank gadler (vocals) from the seven of us, and tom staley (drums).in december 1968, they began recording with eddie kramer at the record plant and by early 1969 were signed to a two-record deal with columbia records.their self-titled debut album was released that year, with songs by both eddie cochran and sun ra, and a number of similarly wide-ranging original songs.the following year, the group collaborated with rockabilly legend carl perkins on an album titled boppin' the blues.over the next three years, the band experienced personnel shifts, with the departure of ferguson (replaced for one year by ken sheehan), gadler, and staley, and the arrival of two new members: guitarist/singer al anderson formerly of the wildweeds, known for the connecticut and massachusetts regional hit 'no good to cry', and drummer tom ardolino.the adams/spampinato/anderson/ardolino quartet stayed together longer than any other incarnation of the band (20 years, from 1974 until 1994), and was often augmented by the whole wheat horns (donn adams, keith spring and others).starting in september 1989, nrbq opened for r.e.m.on the 'acronym tour' with the first concert taking place on the 27th at the university of dayton arena.the last stop on the tour was at the shoreline amphitheater at mountain view in mountain view, california on october 21.rolling stone's sam freedman noted that the nrbq played a compressed 30-minute club show.he also reported that both mike mills and peter buck of r.e.m.watched each of the nrbq's opening sets during their portion of the tour from the edge of the stage 'as if to endorse nrbq for their fans'.in 1994 anderson departed the group: he would become an award-winning nashville songwriter for many country and western acts.he was replaced in nrbq by joey spampinato's younger brother, johnny spampinato, who was (and still is) a member of power-pop band the incredible casuals. | nrbq | genre | country music | watched each of the nrbq's opening sets during their portion of the tour from the edge of the stage 'as if to endorse nrbq for their fans'.in 1994 anderson departed the group: he would become an award-winning nashville songwriter for many country and western acts. |

1036 ganymed, provisional designation 1924 td, is a stony asteroid on a highly eccentric orbit, classified as a near-earth object of the amor group.it was discovered by german astronomer walter baade at the bergedorf observatory in hamburg on 23 october 1924, and named after ganymede from greek mythology.with a diameter of approximately 35 kilometers (22 miles), ganymed is the largest of all near-earth objects but does not cross earth's orbit.the s-type asteroid has a rotation period of 10.3 hours.in october 2024, it is predicted to approach earth at a distance of 56,000,000 km; 35,000,000 mi (0.374097 au).it orbits the sun at a distance of 1.2–4.1 au about once every 4 years and 4 months (i.e., 52 months or 1,587 days; semi-major axis of 2.66 au).its orbit has a high eccentricity of 0.53 and an inclination of 27° with respect to the ecliptic.the body's observation arc begins at the discovering observatory on 24 october 1924 (1924-10-24), the night after its official discovery observation.its next pass of the earth will be at a distance of 0.374097 au (56,000,000 km; 34,800,000 mi) on 13 october 2024 (2024-10-13).on 16 december 2176 (2176-12-16), it will pass at a distance of 0.02868 au (4,290,000 km; 2,670,000 mi) from mars.ganymede was a trojan prince abducted by zeus to serve as a cup-bearer to the greek gods.the name had previously also been given to jupiter's third moon, 'ganymede', which was discovered in 1610 by italian astronomer galileo galilei.a 1931 paper published the absolute magnitude, based on observations to date, as 9.24, slightly brighter than the present value of 9.45.ganymed is a stony s-type asteroid, in the tholen, smass and in the s3os2 taxonomy.this means that it is relatively reflective and composed of iron and magnesium silicates.spectral measurements put ganymed in the s (vi) spectral subtype, indicating a surface rich in orthopyroxenes, and possibly metals (although if metals are present they are covered and not readily apparent in the spectra).carry published a diameter 34.28±1.38 kilometers in 2012.an occultation of a star by ganymed was observed from california on 22 august 1985.additional observations in 2011 gave an occultation cross-section with a semi-major and minor axis of 39.3 and 18.9 kilometers, respectively.analysis of the best-rated lightcurves obtained by american photometrist frederick pilcher at his organ mesa observatory (g50) in new mexico during 2011 gave a rotation period of 10.297 hours with a consolidated brightness amplitude between 0.28 and 0.31 magnitude (u=3-/3/3).three studies using modeled photometric data from the uppsala asteroid photometric catalogue, wise thermal infrared data and other sources, gave a concurring period of 10.313, 10.31284, and 10.31304 hours, respectively.each modeled lightcurve also determined two spin axes of (214.0°, −73.0°), (190.0°, −78.0°), as well as (198.0°, −79.0°) in ecliptic coordinates (λ, β; l1/b1), respectively.in 1998, radar observations of ganymed by the arecibo radio telescope produced images of the asteroid, revealing a roughly spherical object.polarimetric observations conducted by japanese astronomers concluded that there was a weak correlation between the object's light- and polarimetry curve as a function of rotation angle.because polarization is dependent on surface terrain and composition, rather than the observed size of the object like the lightcurve, this suggests that the surface features of the asteroid are roughly uniform over its observed surface.'spectral observations of 19 weathered and 23 fresh neas and their correlations with orbital parameters'.icarus.188 (1): 175–188.bibcode:2007icar..188..175f.doi:10.1016/j.icarus.2006.11.023. | dominants | uptown | pesage <tsp> dominants | amylases | overrashness | no related information |
nrbq is an american rock band founded by terry adams (piano), steve ferguson (guitar) and joey spampinato (bass).originally the 'new rhythm and blues quintet', the group was formed around 1965.adams disbanded it for a time, and the group re-formed in 1967.today's quartet is known for its live performances, containing a high degree of spontaneity and levity, and blending rock, pop, jazz, blues and tin pan alley styles.its current membership comprises the quartet of pianist adams, bassist casey mcdonough, guitarist scott ligon, and drummer john perrin.some of the more notable members in the band's long history are singer, writer and bassist joey spampinato, guitarists al anderson and johnny spampinato; drummers tom staley and tom ardolino; and vocalist frank gadler.along with drummer charlie craig, they made home tapes of their experiments.the first known reference to the band's name can be heard on one of these home tapes, with donn announcing, 'here they are, the new rhythm and blues quintet!'as though presenting them to a live audience.in late spring of 1966, guitarist steve ferguson was invited to join nrbq after he quit mersey-beats usa (no relation to the liverpool group who recorded 'i stand accused').he met adams when the latter briefly joined mersey-beats usa to fill in for the regular keyboard player.after playing a few live dates in louisville, jimmy orten (soul inc) was recruited on bass and vocals and the band left for florida in late 1966.in miami, early january 1967, nrbq played six nights at the cheetah.soon after, orten and ferguson returned to louisville.adams stayed behind and joined the seven of us, a band that was playing the same club.by august, the nrbq was adams (keyboards), ferguson (guitar), spampinato (bass) and frank gadler (vocals) from the seven of us, and tom staley (drums).in december 1968, they began recording with eddie kramer at the record plant and by early 1969 were signed to a two-record deal with columbia records.their self-titled debut album was released that year, with songs by both eddie cochran and sun ra, and a number of similarly wide-ranging original songs.the following year, the group collaborated with rockabilly legend carl perkins on an album titled boppin' the blues.over the next three years, the band experienced personnel shifts, with the departure of ferguson (replaced for one year by ken sheehan), gadler, and staley, and the arrival of two new members: guitarist/singer al anderson formerly of the wildweeds, known for the connecticut and massachusetts regional hit 'no good to cry', and drummer tom ardolino.the adams/spampinato/anderson/ardolino quartet stayed together longer than any other incarnation of the band (20 years, from 1974 until 1994), and was often augmented by the whole wheat horns (donn adams, keith spring and others).starting in september 1989, nrbq opened for r.e.m.on the 'acronym tour' with the first concert taking place on the 27th at the university of dayton arena.the last stop on the tour was at the shoreline amphitheater at mountain view in mountain view, california on october 21.rolling stone's sam freedman noted that the nrbq played a compressed 30-minute club show.he also reported that both mike mills and peter buck of r.e.m.watched each of the nrbq's opening sets during their portion of the tour from the edge of the stage 'as if to endorse nrbq for their fans'.in 1994 anderson departed the group: he would become an award-winning nashville songwriter for many country and western acts.he was replaced in nrbq by joey spampinato's younger brother, johnny spampinato, who was (and still is) a member of power-pop band the incredible casuals. | nrbq | genre | country music | watched each of the nrbq's opening sets during their portion of the tour from the edge of the stage 'as if to endorse nrbq for their fans'.in 1994 anderson departed the group: he would become an award-winning nashville songwriter for many country and western acts. |

nrbq is an american rock band founded by terry adams (piano), steve ferguson (guitar) and joey spampinato (bass).originally the 'new rhythm and blues quintet', the group was formed around 1965.adams disbanded it for a time, and the group re-formed in 1967.today's quartet is known for its live performances, containing a high degree of spontaneity and levity, and blending rock, pop, jazz, blues and tin pan alley styles.its current membership comprises the quartet of pianist adams, bassist casey mcdonough, guitarist scott ligon, and drummer john perrin.some of the more notable members in the band's long history are singer, writer and bassist joey spampinato, guitarists al anderson and johnny spampinato; drummers tom staley and tom ardolino; and vocalist frank gadler.along with drummer charlie craig, they made home tapes of their experiments.the first known reference to the band's name can be heard on one of these home tapes, with donn announcing, 'here they are, the new rhythm and blues quintet!'as though presenting them to a live audience.in late spring of 1966, guitarist steve ferguson was invited to join nrbq after he quit mersey-beats usa (no relation to the liverpool group who recorded 'i stand accused').he met adams when the latter briefly joined mersey-beats usa to fill in for the regular keyboard player.after playing a few live dates in louisville, jimmy orten (soul inc) was recruited on bass and vocals and the band left for florida in late 1966.in miami, early january 1967, nrbq played six nights at the cheetah.soon after, orten and ferguson returned to louisville.adams stayed behind and joined the seven of us, a band that was playing the same club.by august, the nrbq was adams (keyboards), ferguson (guitar), spampinato (bass) and frank gadler (vocals) from the seven of us, and tom staley (drums).in december 1968, they began recording with eddie kramer at the record plant and by early 1969 were signed to a two-record deal with columbia records.their self-titled debut album was released that year, with songs by both eddie cochran and sun ra, and a number of similarly wide-ranging original songs.the following year, the group collaborated with rockabilly legend carl perkins on an album titled boppin' the blues.over the next three years, the band experienced personnel shifts, with the departure of ferguson (replaced for one year by ken sheehan), gadler, and staley, and the arrival of two new members: guitarist/singer al anderson formerly of the wildweeds, known for the connecticut and massachusetts regional hit 'no good to cry', and drummer tom ardolino.the adams/spampinato/anderson/ardolino quartet stayed together longer than any other incarnation of the band (20 years, from 1974 until 1994), and was often augmented by the whole wheat horns (donn adams, keith spring and others).starting in september 1989, nrbq opened for r.e.m.on the 'acronym tour' with the first concert taking place on the 27th at the university of dayton arena.the last stop on the tour was at the shoreline amphitheater at mountain view in mountain view, california on october 21.rolling stone's sam freedman noted that the nrbq played a compressed 30-minute club show.he also reported that both mike mills and peter buck of r.e.m.watched each of the nrbq's opening sets during their portion of the tour from the edge of the stage 'as if to endorse nrbq for their fans'.in 1994 anderson departed the group: he would become an award-winning nashville songwriter for many country and western acts.he was replaced in nrbq by joey spampinato's younger brother, johnny spampinato, who was (and still is) a member of power-pop band the incredible casuals. | anthemwise | carpodetus | substory <tsp> anthemwise | preimportantly | constants | no related information |

1036 ganymed, provisional designation 1924 td, is a stony asteroid on a highly eccentric orbit, classified as a near-earth object of the amor group.it was discovered by german astronomer walter baade at the bergedorf observatory in hamburg on 23 october 1924, and named after ganymede from greek mythology.with a diameter of approximately 35 kilometers (22 miles), ganymed is the largest of all near-earth objects but does not cross earth's orbit.the s-type asteroid has a rotation period of 10.3 hours.in october 2024, it is predicted to approach earth at a distance of 56,000,000 km; 35,000,000 mi (0.374097 au).it orbits the sun at a distance of 1.2–4.1 au about once every 4 years and 4 months (i.e., 52 months or 1,587 days; semi-major axis of 2.66 au).its orbit has a high eccentricity of 0.53 and an inclination of 27° with respect to the ecliptic.the body's observation arc begins at the discovering observatory on 24 october 1924 (1924-10-24), the night after its official discovery observation.its next pass of the earth will be at a distance of 0.374097 au (56,000,000 km; 34,800,000 mi) on 13 october 2024 (2024-10-13).on 16 december 2176 (2176-12-16), it will pass at a distance of 0.02868 au (4,290,000 km; 2,670,000 mi) from mars.ganymede was a trojan prince abducted by zeus to serve as a cup-bearer to the greek gods.the name had previously also been given to jupiter's third moon, 'ganymede', which was discovered in 1610 by italian astronomer galileo galilei.a 1931 paper published the absolute magnitude, based on observations to date, as 9.24, slightly brighter than the present value of 9.45.ganymed is a stony s-type asteroid, in the tholen, smass and in the s3os2 taxonomy.this means that it is relatively reflective and composed of iron and magnesium silicates.spectral measurements put ganymed in the s (vi) spectral subtype, indicating a surface rich in orthopyroxenes, and possibly metals (although if metals are present they are covered and not readily apparent in the spectra).carry published a diameter 34.28±1.38 kilometers in 2012.an occultation of a star by ganymed was observed from california on 22 august 1985.additional observations in 2011 gave an occultation cross-section with a semi-major and minor axis of 39.3 and 18.9 kilometers, respectively.analysis of the best-rated lightcurves obtained by american photometrist frederick pilcher at his organ mesa observatory (g50) in new mexico during 2011 gave a rotation period of 10.297 hours with a consolidated brightness amplitude between 0.28 and 0.31 magnitude (u=3-/3/3).three studies using modeled photometric data from the uppsala asteroid photometric catalogue, wise thermal infrared data and other sources, gave a concurring period of 10.313, 10.31284, and 10.31304 hours, respectively.each modeled lightcurve also determined two spin axes of (214.0°, −73.0°), (190.0°, −78.0°), as well as (198.0°, −79.0°) in ecliptic coordinates (λ, β; l1/b1), respectively.in 1998, radar observations of ganymed by the arecibo radio telescope produced images of the asteroid, revealing a roughly spherical object.polarimetric observations conducted by japanese astronomers concluded that there was a weak correlation between the object's light- and polarimetry curve as a function of rotation angle.because polarization is dependent on surface terrain and composition, rather than the observed size of the object like the lightcurve, this suggests that the surface features of the asteroid are roughly uniform over its observed surface.'spectral observations of 19 weathered and 23 fresh neas and their correlations with orbital parameters'.icarus.188 (1): 175–188.bibcode:2007icar..188..175f.doi:10.1016/j.icarus.2006.11.023. | spurgalled | denudating | postauditory | no related information |

23°s 58°w paraguay (; spanish pronunciation: [paɾaˈɣwaj] (listen)), officially the republic of paraguay (spanish: república del paraguay; guarani: tavakuairetã paraguái), is a landlocked country in south america.it is bordered by argentina to the south and southwest, brazil to the east and northeast, and bolivia to the northwest.it has a population of 7 million, nearly 3 million of whom live in the capital and largest city of asunción, and its surrounding metro.although one of only two landlocked countries in south america (bolivia is the other), paraguay has ports on the paraguay and paraná rivers that give exit to the atlantic ocean, through the paraná-paraguay waterway.spanish conquistadores arrived in 1524, and in 1537 established the city of asunción, the first capital of the governorate of the río de la plata.during the 17th century, paraguay was the center of jesuit missions, where the native guaraní people were converted to christianity and introduced to european culture.after the expulsion of the jesuits from spanish territories in 1767, paraguay increasingly became a peripheral colony, with few urban centers and settlers.following independence from spain in the early 19th century, paraguay was ruled by a series of authoritarian governments characterized by nationalist, isolationist and protectionist policies.this period ended with the disastrous paraguayan war (1864–70), during which the country lost half its prewar population and around 25–33% of its territory to the triple alliance of argentina, brazil and uruguay.in the 20th century, paraguay faced another major international conflict—the chaco war (1932–35) against bolivia—in which it prevailed.afterwards, the country came under a succession of military dictators, culminating in the 35-year regime of alfredo stroessner, which lasted until his overthrow in 1989 by an internal military coup.this marked the beginning of paraguay's democratic era, which continues to this day.paraguay is a developing country, ranking 105th in the human development index.it is a founding member of mercosur, the united nations, the organization of american states, the non-aligned movement and the lima group.additionally, the city of luque, in metropolitan asuncion, is the seat of the south american football confederation.the majority of paraguay's seven million people are mestizo, and guarani culture remains widely influential; more than 90% of the population speak various dialects of the guarani language alongside spanish.paraguay's gdp per capita ppp is the seventh in south america.in a 2017 positive experience index based on global polling data, paraguay ranked as the 'world's happiest place'.western paraguay, the gran chaco, was inhabited by nomads of whom the guaycuru peoples were the most prominent.the paraguay river was roughly the dividing line between the agricultural guarani people to the east and the nomadic and semi-nomadic people to the west in the gran chaco.the guarcuru nomads were known for their warrior traditions and were not fully pacified until the late 19th century.these indigenous tribes belonged to five distinct language families, which were the bases of their major divisions.differing language speaking groups were generally competitive over resources and territories.they were further divided into tribes by speaking languages in branches of these families.today 17 separate ethnolinguistic groups remain.the spanish explorer juan de salazar de espinosa founded the settlement of asunción on 15 august 1537.the city eventually became the center of a spanish colonial province of paraguay.an attempt to create an autonomous christian indian nation was undertaken by jesuit missions and settlements in this part of south america in the eighteenth century.they developed jesuit reductions to bring guarani populations together at spanish missions and protect them from virtual slavery by spanish settlers and portuguese slave raiders, the bandeirantes, in addition to seeking their conversion to christianity. | paraguay | ethnicgroup | mestizo | the majority of paraguay's seven million people are mestizo, and guarani culture remains widely influential; more than 90% of the population speak various dialects of the guarani language alongside spanish. |

hera (minor planet designation: 103 hera) is a moderately large main-belt asteroid with an orbital period of 4.44 years.it was discovered by canadian-american astronomer james craig watson on september 7, 1868, and named after hera, queen and fifth in power of the olympian gods in greek mythology.this is a stony s-type asteroid with a silicate surface composition.photometric observations made in 2010 at the organ mesa observatory at las cruces, new mexico, and the hunters hill observatory at ngunnawal, australian capital territory, give a synodic rotation period of 23.740±0.001 h. the bimodal light curve shows a maximum brightness variation of 0.45 ± 0.03 in magnitude.measurements made with the iras observatory give a diameter of 91.58±4.14 km and a geometric albedo of 0.19±0.02.by comparison, the mips photometer on the spitzer space telescope gives a diameter of 88.30±8.51 km and a geometric albedo of 0.20±0.04.when the asteroid was observed occulting a star, the chords showed a diameter of 89.1±1.1 km. | 103 hera | apoapsis | 4371700000 kilometres | no related information |
23°s 58°w paraguay (; spanish pronunciation: [paɾaˈɣwaj] (listen)), officially the republic of paraguay (spanish: república del paraguay; guarani: tavakuairetã paraguái), is a landlocked country in south america.it is bordered by argentina to the south and southwest, brazil to the east and northeast, and bolivia to the northwest.it has a population of 7 million, nearly 3 million of whom live in the capital and largest city of asunción, and its surrounding metro.although one of only two landlocked countries in south america (bolivia is the other), paraguay has ports on the paraguay and paraná rivers that give exit to the atlantic ocean, through the paraná-paraguay waterway.spanish conquistadores arrived in 1524, and in 1537 established the city of asunción, the first capital of the governorate of the río de la plata.during the 17th century, paraguay was the center of jesuit missions, where the native guaraní people were converted to christianity and introduced to european culture.after the expulsion of the jesuits from spanish territories in 1767, paraguay increasingly became a peripheral colony, with few urban centers and settlers.following independence from spain in the early 19th century, paraguay was ruled by a series of authoritarian governments characterized by nationalist, isolationist and protectionist policies.this period ended with the disastrous paraguayan war (1864–70), during which the country lost half its prewar population and around 25–33% of its territory to the triple alliance of argentina, brazil and uruguay.in the 20th century, paraguay faced another major international conflict—the chaco war (1932–35) against bolivia—in which it prevailed.afterwards, the country came under a succession of military dictators, culminating in the 35-year regime of alfredo stroessner, which lasted until his overthrow in 1989 by an internal military coup.this marked the beginning of paraguay's democratic era, which continues to this day.paraguay is a developing country, ranking 105th in the human development index.it is a founding member of mercosur, the united nations, the organization of american states, the non-aligned movement and the lima group.additionally, the city of luque, in metropolitan asuncion, is the seat of the south american football confederation.the majority of paraguay's seven million people are mestizo, and guarani culture remains widely influential; more than 90% of the population speak various dialects of the guarani language alongside spanish.paraguay's gdp per capita ppp is the seventh in south america.in a 2017 positive experience index based on global polling data, paraguay ranked as the 'world's happiest place'.western paraguay, the gran chaco, was inhabited by nomads of whom the guaycuru peoples were the most prominent.the paraguay river was roughly the dividing line between the agricultural guarani people to the east and the nomadic and semi-nomadic people to the west in the gran chaco.the guarcuru nomads were known for their warrior traditions and were not fully pacified until the late 19th century.these indigenous tribes belonged to five distinct language families, which were the bases of their major divisions.differing language speaking groups were generally competitive over resources and territories.they were further divided into tribes by speaking languages in branches of these families.today 17 separate ethnolinguistic groups remain.the spanish explorer juan de salazar de espinosa founded the settlement of asunción on 15 august 1537.the city eventually became the center of a spanish colonial province of paraguay.an attempt to create an autonomous christian indian nation was undertaken by jesuit missions and settlements in this part of south america in the eighteenth century.they developed jesuit reductions to bring guarani populations together at spanish missions and protect them from virtual slavery by spanish settlers and portuguese slave raiders, the bandeirantes, in addition to seeking their conversion to christianity. | iodamoeba | mixology | intercommon | no related information |

23°s 58°w paraguay (; spanish pronunciation: [paɾaˈɣwaj] (listen)), officially the republic of paraguay (spanish: república del paraguay; guarani: tavakuairetã paraguái), is a landlocked country in south america.it is bordered by argentina to the south and southwest, brazil to the east and northeast, and bolivia to the northwest.it has a population of 7 million, nearly 3 million of whom live in the capital and largest city of asunción, and its surrounding metro.although one of only two landlocked countries in south america (bolivia is the other), paraguay has ports on the paraguay and paraná rivers that give exit to the atlantic ocean, through the paraná-paraguay waterway.spanish conquistadores arrived in 1524, and in 1537 established the city of asunción, the first capital of the governorate of the río de la plata.during the 17th century, paraguay was the center of jesuit missions, where the native guaraní people were converted to christianity and introduced to european culture.after the expulsion of the jesuits from spanish territories in 1767, paraguay increasingly became a peripheral colony, with few urban centers and settlers.following independence from spain in the early 19th century, paraguay was ruled by a series of authoritarian governments characterized by nationalist, isolationist and protectionist policies.this period ended with the disastrous paraguayan war (1864–70), during which the country lost half its prewar population and around 25–33% of its territory to the triple alliance of argentina, brazil and uruguay.in the 20th century, paraguay faced another major international conflict—the chaco war (1932–35) against bolivia—in which it prevailed.afterwards, the country came under a succession of military dictators, culminating in the 35-year regime of alfredo stroessner, which lasted until his overthrow in 1989 by an internal military coup.this marked the beginning of paraguay's democratic era, which continues to this day.paraguay is a developing country, ranking 105th in the human development index.it is a founding member of mercosur, the united nations, the organization of american states, the non-aligned movement and the lima group.additionally, the city of luque, in metropolitan asuncion, is the seat of the south american football confederation.the majority of paraguay's seven million people are mestizo, and guarani culture remains widely influential; more than 90% of the population speak various dialects of the guarani language alongside spanish.paraguay's gdp per capita ppp is the seventh in south america.in a 2017 positive experience index based on global polling data, paraguay ranked as the 'world's happiest place'.western paraguay, the gran chaco, was inhabited by nomads of whom the guaycuru peoples were the most prominent.the paraguay river was roughly the dividing line between the agricultural guarani people to the east and the nomadic and semi-nomadic people to the west in the gran chaco.the guarcuru nomads were known for their warrior traditions and were not fully pacified until the late 19th century.these indigenous tribes belonged to five distinct language families, which were the bases of their major divisions.differing language speaking groups were generally competitive over resources and territories.they were further divided into tribes by speaking languages in branches of these families.today 17 separate ethnolinguistic groups remain.the spanish explorer juan de salazar de espinosa founded the settlement of asunción on 15 august 1537.the city eventually became the center of a spanish colonial province of paraguay.an attempt to create an autonomous christian indian nation was undertaken by jesuit missions and settlements in this part of south america in the eighteenth century.they developed jesuit reductions to bring guarani populations together at spanish missions and protect them from virtual slavery by spanish settlers and portuguese slave raiders, the bandeirantes, in addition to seeking their conversion to christianity. | testimonium | plays | longhand | no related information |

(a.k.a.conelco), bought mercury and its subsidiary labels, such as smash.philips classical, jazz and pop records were now marketed by mercury in the us under the philips label.the mercury living presence team also made classical recordings for philips, in july 1961.these records, made in walthamstow town hall near london, included liszt piano concertos by sviatoslav richter and the london symphony orchestra conducted by kiril kondrashin; two albums of symphonic 'bon-bons' by the london symphony orchestra and charles mackerras released as 'kaleidoscope'; 'russian song recital' by galina vishnevskaya and mstislav rostropovich; and beethoven sonata op.69 for cello and piano by richter and rostropovich.the richter liszt album was recorded on 3-track 35mm magnetic film and was reissued on cd from a remaster made from the film by original producer wilma cozart fine, (wife of the recording engineer bob) as part of the philips solo series.classical groups that philips heavily recorded included the royal concertgebouw orchestra, the beaux arts trio, and the quartetto italiano. | philips records | parentcompany | universal music group | philips records is a record label founded by the dutch electronics company philips and the dutch-american largest record label company universal music group.in 1962, philips records and deutsche grammophon formed the grammophon-philips group joint venture (gpg), which later became polygram in 1972.the richter liszt album was recorded on 3-track 35mm magnetic film and was reissued on cd from a remaster made from the film by original producer wilma cozart fine, (wife of the recording engineer bob) as part of the philips solo series.classical groups that philips heavily recorded included the royal concertgebouw orchestra, the beaux arts trio, and the quartetto italiano. |

plants are predominantly photosynthetic eukaryotes, forming the kingdom plantae.many are multicellular.historically, the plant kingdom encompassed all living things that were not animals, and included algae and fungi.all current definitions exclude the fungi and some of the algae.by one definition, plants form the clade viridiplantae (latin for 'green plants') which consists of the green algae and the embryophytes or land plants.the latter include hornworts, liverworts, mosses, lycophytes, ferns, conifers and other gymnosperms, and flowering plants.a definition based on genomes includes the viridiplantae, along with the red algae and the glaucophytes, in the clade archaeplastida.green plants obtain most of their energy from sunlight, using chloroplasts derived from endosymbiosis with cyanobacteria.chloroplasts perform photosynthesis using the pigment chlorophyll, which gives them their green colour.some plants are parasitic and have lost the ability to produce normal amounts of chlorophyll or to photosynthesize.plants are characterized by sexual reproduction and alternation of generations, but asexual reproduction is also common.there are about 380,000 known species of plants, of which the majority, some 260,000, produce seeds.green plants provide a substantial proportion of the world's molecular oxygen and are the basis of most of earth's ecosystems.grain, fruit, and vegetables are basic human foods and have been domesticated for millennia.plants have many cultural and other uses, such as ornaments, building materials, writing materials, and, in great variety, they have been the source of medicines.the scientific study of plants is known as botany, a branch of biology.this classification dates from aristotle (384–322 bc), who distinguished different levels of beings in his biology, based on whether living things have locomotion or had sensory organs.theophrastus, aristotle's student, continued his work in plant taxonomy and classification.much later, linnaeus (1707–1778) created the basis of the modern system of scientific classification, but retained the animal and plant kingdoms.from least to most inclusive, these four groupings are: == evolution == === diversity === there are about 382,000 accepted species of plants, of which the great majority, some 293,000, produce seeds.the table below shows some species count estimates of different green plant (viridiplantae) divisions.about 85–90% of all plants are flowering plants.several projects are currently attempting to collect records on all plant species in online databases, e.g.the world flora online.plants range in scale from single cells, such as many algae including desmids (from 10 micrometres across) and picozoans (less than 3 micrometres across), to trees such as the conifer sequoia sempervirens (up to 380 feet (120 m) tall ) and the angiosperm eucalyptus regnans (up to 325 feet (99 m) tall ).the naming of plants is governed by the international code of nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants and the international code of nomenclature for cultivated plants.an algal scum formed on the land 1,200 million years ago, but it was not until the ordovician, around 450 million years ago, that the first land plants appeared, with a level of organisation like that of bryophytes.however, evidence from carbon isotope ratios in precambrian rocks suggests that complex plants developed over 1000 mya.primitive land plants began to diversify in the late silurian, around 420 million years ago.bryophytes, club mosses, ferns then appear in the fossil record.early plant anatomy is preserved in cellular detail in an early devonian fossil assemblage from the rhynie chert.these early plants were preserved by being petrified in chert formed in silica-rich volcanic hot springs.by the end of the devonian, most of the basic features of plants today were present, including roots, leaves and secondary wood in trees such as archaeopteris. | poland | ethnicgroup | kashubians | no related information |

post-metal is a music genre rooted in heavy metal but exploring approaches beyond metal conventions.it emerged in the 1990s with bands such as neurosis, godflesh, and helmet, who transformed metal texture through experimental composition.in a way similar to the predecessor genres post-rock and post-hardcore, post-metal offsets the darkness and intensity of extreme metal with an emphasis on atmosphere, emotion, and even 'revelation', developing an expansive but introspective sound variously imbued with elements of ambient, noise, psychedelic, progressive, and classical music.songs are typically long, with loose and layered structures that discard the verse–chorus form in favor of crescendos and repeating themes.the sound centres on guitars (subjected to various effects) and drums, while any vocals are usually screamed or growled and resemble an additional instrument.post-metal is related to other experimental styles of metal: avant-garde metal, drone metal, progressive metal, and industrial metal.it has also been called metalgaze and art metal, highlighting its connection to shoegaze (an indie music style related to post-rock) and art music, respectively.contemporary post-metal, pioneered by diverse groups such as isis, agalloch, boris, pelican, jesu, wolves in the throne room, and russian circles, typically employs the deep heaviness of doom metal and sludge metal and/or the dark ferocity of black metal.the widespread acclaim of deafheaven, who succeeded alcest in combining black metal and shoegaze (a fusion nicknamed blackgaze), recently made this global post-metal underground scene more visible.helmet's albums meantime (1992) and betty (1994) were also significant, while tool's music was described as post-metal as early as 1993.many of these artists emerged from hardcore punk and post-punk circles but their combination of sonic violence with experimentation and eclecticism made them difficult to categorize under any one genre.as this movement swelled, bands from post-hardcore and experimental backgrounds began to incorporate its tendencies of 'ambience, offbeat experimentation, downcast melodies and psychedelia' into metal.the two genres further converged through the influence of post-rock bands such as mogwai, godspeed you!black emperor, and lift to experience who shared metal's emphasis on loudness.neurosis' third album souls at zero and godflesh's second album pure, both released in 1992, are often retrospectively considered the first post-metal records.godflesh had already pioneered 'sluggish and tortured' industrial metal of their 1989 debut streetcleaner, but pure showcased 'more expansive structures and long stretches of billowing noise', inspiring a number of subsequent bands to combine metal with 'layered washes of sound'.neurosis on the other hand were a hardcore band who embraced doom metal, post-punk and industrial influences, experimenting with texture and dynamics.they have since become recognized 'for their pioneering post-metal efforts and unwavering dedication to expanding their artistic boundaries.'in 2010, guitarist steve von till stated: we always knew there was something deep to neurosis's music, but ...i think souls at zero was when the music became something else.it was taking that material out on the road and losing ourself in the trance states induced by playing hypnotic, super-heavy loud music that we really figured out how to surrender to it.then we said, ok – this is going to take us to where we wanna go: somewhere deeper, somewhere more emotional, somewhere elemental.the band's 1996 fifth album through silver in blood was credited by terrorizer with 'effectively invent[ing] the post-metal genre' and named the best post-metal album of all time by fact.the fluctuating 12-minute song 'purify' has been described as the album's 'signature track'.neurosis' work has also contributed the development of doom metal, sludge metal, and drone metal, and these genres have been associated with post-metal since.similarly, drone metal pioneers earth have been significant to post-metal ever since their 1991 debut release extra-capsular extraction. | dressers | hikuli | varnisher <tsp> dressers | disherison | inguinocutaneous | no related information |
