Pickle Lake

Pickle Lake is a township in the Canadian province of Ontario, and is the most northerly community in the province that has year-round access by road. Located 530 km north of Thunder Bay, highway access is via Highway 599, the only access road to the town from the south. More northerly communities rely on winter roads for access and are cut off to land travel in the summer. Highway 599 meets the Northern Ontario Resource Trail, formerly Tertiary Highway 808, at Pickle Lake.

The Township of Pickle Lake has a population of 425 and its main industries are transportation (by air and land) and tourism. Pickle Lake Airport serves as the supply point to northern First Nations. It is an access point for animal watching, with many opportunities to view moose, woodland caribou, timber wolf, black bear, game birds, bald eagles, song birds, and migratory birds such as ducks and geese. It is also a popular fishing and hunting destination. The town is sometimes referred to as the gateway to Ontario's "Last Frontier" because of its remote location. Pickle Lake has its own detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police.

The community is located on the north-east shore of Pickle Lake, from which it takes its name.

History
Pickle Lake was founded as a local transportation centre for mining activities after gold was discovered nearby in 1928. From that time until 1995, more than 2.5 million ounces of gold were produced in the area. Copper was also mined near Pickle Lake in the 1970s. Exploration for gold and copper in the Pickle Lake area continues to this day.

Jack Hammell's Pickle Crow Gold Mines (1935–1961) produced 1,446,214 ounces of gold. Alex and Murdoch Mosher's Central Patricia Mine (1927–1951) produced 621,806 ounces.

Pickle Lake was incorporated as a township in 1980. It got its name from the shape of the lake which resembles a cucumber or pickle.

The township also includes the former townsites of Central Patricia and Pickle Crow. Both formerly independent settlements, Central Patricia now consists only of a few buildings located at the terminus of Highway 599 within the township, while Pickle Crow is a ghost town. After the Pickle Crow gold mine was shut down in 1966, the Ministry of Natural Resources set fire to the site as part of its program to clean up abandoned mines.

Demographics
In the 2021 Census of Population conducted by Statistics Canada, Pickle Lake had a population of $398$ living in $155$ of its $221$ total private dwellings, a change of NaN% from its 2016 population of $388$. With a land area of 247.21 km2, it had a population density of in 2021.

Historic populations:

 * Population in 2001: 399
 * Population in 1996: 544
 * Population in 1991: 654

Climate
Pickle Lake has a humid continental climate that closely borders on a subarctic climate (Köppen Dfb/Dfc). Winters are cold and dry with a January high of -14.3 C and a low of -24.1 C. Snowfall averages 2.57 m with reliable cover from November to April. There are 17.3 nights where the temperature will drop below -30 C.

Summers are warm and wetter but short with a July high of 23.0 C and a low of 12.3 C. There are 4.8 days where the temperature will exceed 30.0 C. Precipitation tends to be higher during the summer months, with each month from June to August averaging 16 days with measurable precipitation.

The highest temperature ever recorded in Pickle Lake was 40.0 C on 19 June 1933. The coldest temperature ever recorded was -51.1 C on 8 February 1934.

Media
Pickle Lake's only local media service is the new CJTL-FM, which airs a mixed Christian radio and First Nations format. The region is otherwise served through rebroadcasters of services from larger cities such as Thunder Bay, Toronto and Winnipeg.

Pushforward (differential)

In differential geometry, pushforward is a linear approximation of smooth maps (formulating manifold) on tangent spaces. Suppose that $$\varphi\colon M\to N$$ is a smooth map between smooth manifolds; then the differential of $$\varphi$$ at a point $$x$$, denoted $$\mathrm d\varphi_x$$, is, in some sense, the best linear approximation of $$\varphi$$ near $$x$$. It can be viewed as a generalization of the total derivative of ordinary calculus. Explicitly, the differential is a linear map from the tangent space of $$M$$ at $$x$$ to the tangent space of $$N$$ at $$\varphi(x)$$, $$\mathrm d\varphi_x\colon T_xM \to T_{\varphi(x)}N$$. Hence it can be used to push tangent vectors on $$M$$ forward to tangent vectors on $$N$$. The differential of a map $$\varphi$$ is also called, by various authors, the derivative or total derivative of $$\varphi$$.

Motivation
Let $$\varphi: U \to V$$ be a smooth map from an open subset $$U$$ of $$\R^m$$ to an open subset $$V$$ of $$\R^n$$. For any point $$x$$ in $$U$$, the Jacobian of $$\varphi$$ at $$x$$ (with respect to the standard coordinates) is the matrix representation of the total derivative of $$\varphi$$ at $$x$$, which is a linear map

 * $$d\varphi_x:T_x\R^m\to T_{\varphi(x)}\R^n$$

between their tangent spaces. Note the tangent spaces $$T_x\R^m,T_{\varphi(x)}\R^n$$ are isomorphic to $$\mathbb{R}^m$$ and $$\mathbb{R}^n$$, respectively. The pushforward generalizes this construction to the case that $$\varphi$$ is a smooth function between any smooth manifolds $$M$$ and $$N$$.

The differential of a smooth map
Let $$\varphi \colon M \to N $$ be a smooth map of smooth manifolds. Given $$ x \in M, $$ the differential of $$ \varphi $$ at $$ x $$ is a linear map

 * $$d\varphi_x \colon\ T_xM\to T_{\varphi(x)}N\,$$

from the tangent space of $$ M $$ at $$ x $$ to the tangent space of $$ N $$ at $$ \varphi(x). $$ The image $$ d\varphi_x X $$ of a tangent vector $$ X \in T_x M $$ under $$ d\varphi_x $$ is sometimes called the pushforward of $$ X $$ by $$ \varphi. $$ The exact definition of this pushforward depends on the definition one uses for tangent vectors (for the various definitions see tangent space).

If tangent vectors are defined as equivalence classes of the curves $$\gamma$$ for which $$ \gamma(0) = x, $$ then the differential is given by

 * $$d\varphi_x(\gamma'(0)) = (\varphi \circ \gamma)'(0).$$

Here, $$ \gamma $$ is a curve in $$ M $$ with $$ \gamma(0) = x, $$ and $$\gamma'(0)$$ is tangent vector to the curve $$ \gamma $$ at $$ 0. $$ In other words, the pushforward of the tangent vector to the curve $$ \gamma $$ at $$ 0 $$ is the tangent vector to the curve $$\varphi \circ \gamma$$ at $$ 0. $$

Alternatively, if tangent vectors are defined as derivations acting on smooth real-valued functions, then the differential is given by
 * $$d\varphi_x(X)(f) = X(f \circ \varphi),$$

for an arbitrary function $$f \in C^\infty(N)$$ and an arbitrary derivation $$X \in T_xM$$ at point $$x \in M$$ (a derivation is defined as a linear map $$X \colon C^\infty(M) \to \R$$ that satisfies the Leibniz rule, see: definition of tangent space via derivations). By definition, the pushforward of $$X$$ is in $$T_{\varphi(x)}N$$ and therefore itself is a derivation, $$d\varphi_x(X) \colon C^\infty(N) \to \R$$.

After choosing two charts around $$ x $$ and around $$ \varphi(x), $$ $$ \varphi $$ is locally determined by a smooth map $$\widehat{\varphi} \colon U \to V$$ between open sets of $$\R^m$$ and $$\R^n$$, and

 * $$d\varphi_x\left(\frac{\partial}{\partial u^a}\right) = \frac{\partial{\widehat{\varphi}}^b}{\partial u^a} \frac{\partial}{\partial v^b},$$

in the Einstein summation notation, where the partial derivatives are evaluated at the point in $$ U $$ corresponding to $$ x $$ in the given chart.

Extending by linearity gives the following matrix

 * $$\left(d\varphi_x\right)_a^{\;b} = \frac{\partial{\widehat{\varphi}}^b}{\partial u^a}.$$

Thus the differential is a linear transformation, between tangent spaces, associated to the smooth map $$ \varphi $$ at each point. Therefore, in some chosen local coordinates, it is represented by the Jacobian matrix of the corresponding smooth map from $$\R^m$$ to $$\R^n$$. In general, the differential need not be invertible. However, if $$ \varphi $$ is a local diffeomorphism, then $$ d\varphi_x $$ is invertible, and the inverse gives the pullback of $$ T_{\varphi(x)} N.$$

The differential is frequently expressed using a variety of other notations such as

 * $$D\varphi_x,\left(\varphi_*\right)_x, \varphi'(x),T_x\varphi.$$

It follows from the definition that the differential of a composite is the composite of the differentials (i.e., functorial behaviour). This is the chain rule for smooth maps.

Also, the differential of a local diffeomorphism is a linear isomorphism of tangent spaces.

The differential on the tangent bundle
The differential of a smooth map $$\varphi$$ induces, in an obvious manner, a bundle map (in fact a vector bundle homomorphism) from the tangent bundle of $$M$$ to the tangent bundle of $$N$$, denoted by $$d\varphi$$, which fits into the following commutative diagram:

where $$\pi_M$$ and $$\pi_N$$ denote the bundle projections of the tangent bundles of $$M$$ and $$N$$ respectively.

$$\operatorname{d}\!\varphi$$ induces a bundle map from $$TM$$ to the pullback bundle φ∗TN over $$M$$ via

 * $$(m,v_m) \mapsto (\varphi(m),\operatorname{d}\!\varphi (m,v_m)),$$

where $$m \in M$$ and $$v_m \in T_mM.$$ The latter map may in turn be viewed as a section of the vector bundle Hom(TM, φ∗TN) over M. The bundle map $$\operatorname{d}\!\varphi$$ is also denoted by $$T\varphi$$ and called the tangent map. In this way, $$T$$ is a functor.

Pushforward of vector fields
Given a smooth map φ : M → N and a vector field X on M, it is not usually possible to identify a pushforward of X by φ with some vector field Y on N. For example, if the map φ is not surjective, there is no natural way to define such a pushforward outside of the image of φ. Also, if φ is not injective there may be more than one choice of pushforward at a given point. Nevertheless, one can make this difficulty precise, using the notion of a vector field along a map.

A section of φ∗TN over M is called a vector field along φ. For example, if M is a submanifold of N and φ is the inclusion, then a vector field along φ is just a section of the tangent bundle of N along M; in particular, a vector field on M defines such a section via the inclusion of TM inside TN. This idea generalizes to arbitrary smooth maps.

Suppose that X is a vector field on M, i.e., a section of TM. Then, $$\operatorname{d}\!\phi \circ X$$ yields, in the above sense, the pushforward φ∗X, which is a vector field along φ, i.e., a section of φ∗TN over M.

Any vector field Y on N defines a pullback section φ∗Y of φ∗TN with (φ∗Y)x = Yφ(x). A vector field X on M and a vector field Y on N are said to be φ-related if φ∗X = φ∗Y as vector fields along φ. In other words, for all x in M, dφx(X) = Yφ(x).

In some situations, given a X vector field on M, there is a unique vector field Y on N which is φ-related to X. This is true in particular when φ is a diffeomorphism. In this case, the pushforward defines a vector field Y on N, given by
 * $$Y_y = \phi_*\left(X_{\phi^{-1}(y)}\right).$$

A more general situation arises when φ is surjective (for example the bundle projection of a fiber bundle). Then a vector field X on M is said to be projectable if for all y in N, dφx(Xx) is independent of the choice of x in φ−1({y}). This is precisely the condition that guarantees that a pushforward of X, as a vector field on N, is well defined.

Pushforward from multiplication on Lie groups
Given a Lie group $$G$$, we can use the multiplication map $$m(-,-) : G\times G \to G$$ to get left multiplication $$L_g = m(g,-)$$ and right multiplication $$R_g = m(-,g)$$ maps $$G \to G$$. These maps can be used to construct left or right invariant vector fields on $$G$$ from its tangent space at the origin $$\mathfrak{g} = T_e G$$ (which is its associated Lie algebra). For example, given $$X \in \mathfrak{g}$$ we get an associated vector field $$\mathfrak{X}$$ on $$G$$ defined by $$\mathfrak{X}_g = (L_g)_*(X) \in T_g G$$ for every $$g \in G$$. This can be readily computed using the curves definition of pushforward maps. If we have a curve $$\gamma: (-1,1) \to G$$ where $$\gamma(0) = e \,, \quad \gamma'(0) = X$$ we get $$\begin{align} (L_g)_*(X) &= (L_g\circ \gamma)'(0) \\ &= (g\cdot \gamma(t))'(0) \\ &= \frac{dg}{d\gamma}\gamma(0) + g\cdot \frac{d\gamma}{dt} (0) \\ &= g \cdot \gamma'(0) \end{align}$$ since $$L_g$$ is constant with respect to $$\gamma$$. This implies we can interpret the tangent spaces $$T_g G$$ as $$T_g G = g\cdot T_e G = g\cdot \mathfrak{g}$$.

Pushforward for some Lie groups
For example, if $$G$$ is the Heisenberg group given by matrices $$H = \left\{ \begin{bmatrix} 1 & a & b \\ 0 & 1 & c \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix} : a,b,c \in \mathbb{R} \right\}$$ it has Lie algebra given by the set of matrices $$\mathfrak{h} = \left\{ \begin{bmatrix} 0 & a & b \\ 0 & 0 & c \\ 0 & 0 & 0 \end{bmatrix} : a,b,c \in \mathbb{R} \right\}$$ since we can find a path $$\gamma:(-1,1) \to H$$ giving any real number in one of the upper matrix entries with $$i < j$$ (i-th row and j-th column). Then, for $$g = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 & 3 \\ 0 & 1 & 4 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$$ we have $$T_gH = g\cdot \mathfrak{h} = \left\{ \begin{bmatrix} 0 & a & b + 2c \\ 0 & 0 & c \\ 0 & 0 & 0 \end{bmatrix} : a,b,c \in \mathbb{R} \right\}$$ which is equal to the original set of matrices. This is not always the case, for example, in the group $$G = \left\{ \begin{bmatrix} a & b \\ 0 & 1/a \end{bmatrix} : a,b \in \mathbb{R}, a \neq 0 \right\}$$ we have its Lie algebra as the set of matrices $$\mathfrak{g} = \left\{ \begin{bmatrix} a & b \\ 0 & -a \end{bmatrix} : a,b \in \mathbb{R} \right\}$$ hence for some matrix $$g = \begin{bmatrix} 2 & 3 \\ 0 & 1/2 \end{bmatrix}$$ we have $$T_gG = \left\{ \begin{bmatrix} 2a & 2b - 3a \\ 0 & -a/2 \end{bmatrix} : a,b\in \mathbb{R} \right\}$$ which is not the same set of matrices.

Anne W. Patterson

Anne Woods Patterson (born 1949) is an American diplomat and career Foreign Service Officer. She served as the Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs from 2013 to 2017. She previously served as United States Ambassador to Egypt until 2013 and as United States Ambassador to Pakistan from July 2007 to October 2010.

Early life and education
Patterson was born in Fort Smith, Arkansas. She attended The Hockaday School in Dallas, Texas. She received her bachelor's degree from Wellesley College and attended graduate school at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill for one year.

Career
Patterson entered the Foreign Service in 1973. She served as a U.S. State Department Economic Officer and Counselor to Saudi Arabia from 1984 to 1988 and then as a Political Counselor at the United States Mission to the United Nations in Geneva from 1988 to 1991.

Patterson served as State Department Director for the Andean Countries from 1991 to 1993. She served as Deputy Assistant Secretary for Inter-American Affairs from 1993 to 1996. Patterson served as United States Ambassador to El Salvador from 1997 to 2000, and then as United States Ambassador to Colombia from 2000 to 2003. While ambassador to Colombia, Patterson and U.S. Senator Paul Wellstone were the alleged targets of a failed bomb plot while on an official visit to the Colombian town of Barrancabermeja. From 2003 to 2004, she served as Deputy Inspector General of the US State Department.

In August 2004, Patterson was appointed Deputy U.S. Permanent Representative to the United Nations. Patterson became acting Permanent Representative to the United Nations after John Danforth resigned, effective January 20, 2005. An extended delay in the confirmation of John R. Bolton by the Senate (ending when Bolton assumed the position on August 1, 2005, after a recess appointment) caused Patterson to serve as interim permanent representative longer than expected.

Patterson became Assistant Secretary of State for International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs on November 28, 2005, serving until May 2007. President George W. Bush appointed Patterson as the United States Ambassador to Pakistan after Ryan Crocker left that post to become Ambassador to Iraq. She served in Pakistan between July 2007 and October 2010.

In May 2011, U.S. President Obama nominated Patterson to be the U.S. Ambassador to Egypt. On June 30, 2011, the United States Senate confirmed Patterson by unanimous consent to be the United States Ambassador to Egypt.

During the protests that ousted Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi from power on July 3, 2013, Patterson was singled out specially by the protesters for being too close to Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood.

On August 1, 2013, Patterson was nominated to serve as the assistant secretary of state in the State Department's Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs, which oversees the Middle East. The U.S. Senate confirmed Robert S. Beecroft to succeed her as ambassador to Egypt on June 26, 2014.

Patterson was considered for Defense Undersecretary for Policy under James Mattis; however, she was withdrawn after opposition from Tom Cotton, senator from Arkansas. Speculation was that Cotton favors a harshly anti-Muslim Brotherhood policy and Patterson's time as Ambassador to Egypt under President Morsi disqualified her in his eyes.

Patterson served on the commission on the National Defense Strategy for the United States and as the Kissinger Senior Fellow at the Yale University Jackson Institute for Global Affairs.

Personal life
Patterson is married to David R. Patterson, a retired Foreign Service officer. The couple have two children.

Dodge Ramcharger

The Dodge Ramcharger is a large sport utility vehicle built by Dodge from 1974 to 1993, based on a shortened-wheelbase version of the Dodge D series/Ram pickup chassis. A Plymouth version, named the Plymouth Trail Duster, offered from 1974 to 1981, was Plymouth's only SUV.

The Ramcharger was mostly produced as a two-door, 4×4 vehicle, although a two-wheel-drive version was available. As a full-size SUV, it competed with the Chevrolet K5 Blazer and the 1978–1996 Ford Bronco.

The Ramcharger was discontinued at the end of the 1993 model year in North America. In Mexico, however, production continued until 1996. It was then brought back from 1999 to 2001, still as a two-door SUV and sharing the design of the contemporary Ram pickup. Approximately 30,000 were produced, with all examples being two-wheel-drive only.

In November 2023, Stellantis announced that the Ramcharger nameplate would be revived for a plug-in hybrid version of the 2025 Ram 1500.

First generation (1974–1980)
During development, it was known as the "Rhino." The Ramcharger/Trail Duster were built using a version of the Dodge Ram's Chrysler AD platform with a nine-inch shorter wheelbase. Originally available in four-wheel-drive exclusively, a rear-wheel-drive only version was available starting in 1975. The 1974 through 1980 models came without a roof, with a dealer-installed fabric top, or an optional removable steel roof with a flip-up rear tailgate window. The early 1974 year model differs from the others in that its door pillars are attached to the removable roof. The "half doors" were used up to the build date of June 10, 1974; afterwards, the roof was changed to use normal pickup-style doors. Marketed as a basic utility vehicle, only the driver's seat was standard equipment with the passenger seat optional up to 1976. Also available was an insulated center console for keeping items cool when filled with ice.

The Ramcharger was entered in rallying and placed first in the 1975 Sno*Drift event.

The standard engine was a 225 cuin Slant Six. 318 CID and 360 CID versions of the "LA" series Chrysler small-block V8 were available, along with the larger big-block "B" and "RB" wedge series in 400 CID and 440 CID. In 1978, the 360 CID output was 175 hp. In 1979, it was rated at 160 hp.

Second generation (1981–1993)
The Ramcharger and Trail Duster followed the D-series pickup's 1981 redesign into the Ram and is considered the second generation. They had an egg crate-style grille which was used until the 1986 model year, when the front was redesigned to the crosshair grille that remains common on many Dodges today. In 1991, there were another batch of grill changes that lasted until 1993 when American Ramcharger production stopped. The second-generation trucks had a few different trim and interior option levels, but not much changed over the years. These models had a non-removable welded steel top instead of the removable top. The Trail Duster was only available for one year with the Ram design and steel non-removable top, as it was dropped after the 1981 model year. From 1981 through 1987, all models were carbureted, but in 1988, throttle-body fuel injection (TBI) was added to the 318 CID V8 engine. Fuel injection was added to the 360 CID V8 engine in 1989. Power output for the TBI 318 was 170 hp and 245 lb·ft of torque. The 360 with TBI was rated at 193 hp and 285 lb·ft of torque. In 1992, the multiport fuel-injected Magnum 318 was the standard engine, while the LA 360 with TBI was still offered as an option. In 1993, the Magnum 360 replaced the LA engine.

Many manual transmissions were offered throughout the years, starting with the A-230 three-speed and ending with the A-535 five-speed in 1992. The NP435 "granny gear" 4 speed was the most common in 4WD models, as well as the close ratio version, the NP445. In 1988 the clutch was converted from a mechanical linkage to a hydraulic system. Automatic transmission models had the Chrysler Loadflite TF-727A or B until, in 1991, it was replaced with the A-500/A-518 four-speed.

An all-wheel-drive NP-203 transfer case was standard until 1980, when it was replaced with the part-time NP-208. This was supplanted by the NP-241 in 1988. Axles were Dana 44 front and 9.25" or 8.25" Chrysler corporate rear. AWD models (1973–1979) were equipped with the full-time version of the Dana 44 that had no provision for locking hubs and had a front wheel bearing design with a somewhat dubious reputation. In 1978, when the part-time 4WD system was introduced, the front Dana 44 was equipped with a more conventional front wheel bearing design and automatic locking hubs. Late in the 1984 model year, the Dana 44 was switched to a CAD (Center Axle Disconnect) version. The CAD Dana 44 was vacuum-actuated by a switch on the transfer case and powered by engine vacuum. The CAD Dana 44 was carried on until the end of Ramcharger production in 1993. The vacuum switch on the transfer case would occasionally fail and either leave the CAD engaged or not engage the CAD at all. Limited-slip differentials were available for the 9¼" rear axle. The AWD versions used a 5 on 4.5" wheel bolt circle and the part-time 4WD models used a 5 on 5.5" bolt circle. 2WD models used the 5 on 4.5" wheel bolt circle, which was changed to the 5 on 5.5" pattern in 1985.

The Ramcharger continued to be sold in Mexico until 1996, with minor running changes from the last version sold in the U.S. and Canada in 1993.

Third generation (1999–2001)
The third generation Ramcharger was produced in Mexico from 1998 for the 1999 model year, based on the same platform as the Dodge Ram pickup and sharing most of its componentry with the Ram as well. It had also shared some of its parts and components with the third-generation Chrysler minivans (Chrysler Town & Country, Dodge Caravan/Plymouth Voyager) as well. It was only sold in Mexico where the previous-generation Ramcharger had been successful. It was available in the ST, SLT, SLT Plus, and Sport trim levels. Powered by the 318 CID or 360 CID Magnum V8 engine and offered exclusively with rear-wheel drive, it was discontinued after the 2001 model year.

One of the features of this generation was a small third-row folding seat in the cargo area that faced sideways, making it less practical for long trips. The rear of the vehicle had looked very similar to the 1996–2000 model Chrysler minivans

Albany Patroons

The Albany Patroons are a professional basketball team that plays in The Basketball League (TBL). Previously, the team competed in the Continental Basketball Association (CBA) and in the United States Basketball League (USBL). The Patroons won CBA championships in 1984 and 1988 as well as a TBL championship in 2019. The team's name derives from patroon, the term for a large landholders in New Netherland, the Dutch colony that once included the Albany region.

Formed in 1982, the Patroons' original home arena was the Washington Avenue Armory, a former New York National Guard armory. The team later moved from this location to MVP Arena, then known as the Knickerbocker Arena. The franchise was renamed the Capital Region Pontiacs in 1992 and was relocated to Connecticut in 1993.

The Patroons rejoined the CBA in 2005. When the CBA ceased its operations in 2009, the team went defunct.

The Patroons became a member of North American Premier Basketball (NAPB) in the 2018 season, once again playing at the Washington Avenue Armory. The league was later renamed to The Basketball League prior to the 2019 season.

Early years (1982–1993)
Future NBA head coach Phil Jackson won his first championship ring as a coach when he guided the Patroons to the 1984 CBA championship. Andre Gaddy was named MVP of the series. Jackson later won NBA championships with the Chicago Bulls and Los Angeles Lakers.

In 1988, the Patroons won a second championship, this time under head coach Bill Musselman. Musselman later coached the Minnesota Timberwolves, and several Patroons from the 1987–88 championship year, including Scott Brooks, Tod Murphy, Tony Campbell, and Sidney Lowe, played on early Timberwolves squads.

In the 1990–91 season, the Patroons completed a 50–6 regular season, winning all 28 home games, with George Karl as head coach. Future NBA players Mario Elie and Vincent Askew were part of that squad.

The Patroons won two CBA championships and five Eastern Division regular season titles. For the 1992–93 season, they were renamed the Capital Region Pontiacs, as the team received sponsorship from local car dealerships. After that season, the franchise was relocated to Connecticut, where it played for $1 1/2$ years as the Hartford Hellcats and then $6 1/2$ years as the Connecticut Pride before folding in 2001.

The CBA ceased operating and filed for bankruptcy in February 2001.

Rebirth (2005–2009)
After a decade-long absence, a new Patroons joined the CBA as an expansion team for the 2005–06 season with the original name and colors (gold and kelly green), as well as returning to the old Washington Avenue Armory. Former NBA star Micheal Ray Richardson, who played for the Patroons in the 1987–88 season, became the head coach, while the Patroons' career scoring leader, Derrick Rowland, was named assistant coach. The Patroons finished the season with a 20–28 record, good for third place in the CBA Eastern Conference. Albany qualified for the playoffs, but lost in the first round of the CBA round-robin style playoffs.

On June 14, 2006, the Patroons purchased the rights to a United States Basketball League team, also to be called the Patroons, and play in the Washington Avenue Armory. The team replaced the Pennsylvania ValleyDawgs. After only two years of very low attendance at their home games, the Patroons ended their USBL affiliation on June 19, 2007.

In the 2006–07 season, the Patroons won the CBA American Conference championship and advanced to the best-of-five CBA Finals against the Yakima SunKings. The Patroons lost game one at the Armory. The next day, Coach Richardson was suspended for the rest of the season for firing expletives at hecklers during games and saying in an interview with the Albany Times Union newspaper that Jews are "crafty [because] they are hated worldwide." Without Richardson, the Patroons dropped the next two games of the finals, as the Sun Kings won their second consecutive championship. Three days after the conclusion of the series, it was announced that Richardson would not return. He was replaced by Vincent Askew.

On July 10, 2007, former Patroon Jamario Moon signed a two-year contract with the Toronto Raptors. Moon had a strong rookie campaign, averaging 8.5 points and 6.2 rebounds per game.

Both the Patroons and the CBA folded after the 2009 season, citing the economic recession.

North American Premier Basketball/The Basketball League (2018–present)
On August 30, 2017, it was announced that the Patroons would return to the Washington Avenue Armory in January 2018. The new team became one of the inaugural members of North American Premier Basketball (NAPB).

The Patroons' roster included former NBA players Maurice Taylor, Smush Parker, and Jamario Moon. After the first season, the NAPB rebranded as The Basketball League (TBL).

On May 3, 2019, the Patroons defeated the Yakima SunKings in the third game of a best-of-three series to win the TBL championship.

On September 4, 2019, the ownership of the Patroons was transferred to Dr. Tim Maggs for the 2020 season. They started the 2020 season at 6-3 before the season was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Patroons opted to sit out the 2021 season as well. The Washington Avenue Armory was being used as a vaccination site, and the team would have had to play the season without fans in attendance in any case. Maggs considered temporarily moving to the Times Union Center, but decided against it after recalling how the CBA Patroons saw their attendance figures fall through the floor when they played there.

Former UAlbany Basketball Coach and Albany Legend Will Brown was named the Head Coach and General Manager of the Patroons. He led UAlbany to 5 America East Championships and is a former America East Coach of the Year. On December 7, 2021, Will Brown announced his coaching staff of Brian Beaury, Julie McBride and Marc Rybczyk for the 2022 season.

In the 2022 season, the Patroons finished with a league best 21-3 record in the regular season. Albany would clinch the TBL's East Region, but would ultimately lose the Championship to the Shreveport Mavericks in a best-of-three series.

Alumni
Former Albany Patroons players who went on to play in the National Basketball Association include Vincent Askew, Scott Brooks, Mario Elie, Jamario Moon, Scott Roth. and Xavier Moon.

Former Patroons players and/or coaches who went on to coach in the National Basketball Association include Scott Brooks, Rick Carlisle, Phil Jackson, George Karl, Derrick Rowland, Sidney Lowe, Bill Musselman, Kenny Natt, Scott Roth, and Terry Stotts.

Former Patroons players who later coached the Patroons include Micheal Ray Richardson and Derrick Rowland.

Hi, Gomes.

Did the original author of the text in the Bengali Christian article gave permission for the text being used in Wikipedia? I noted you have put a "Credits" section at the end of the article, pointing to the web-site where the text comes from, but I don't believe this is enough for avoiding a copyright violation.

I believe the web-site author would be interested in the proliferation of its information, so, if correctly approached, he may allow the text to be on Wikipedia.

Thanks.

Yes the original website is operated by someone I know. Also the article is community contribution and I am pretty sure the orginal author won't have any objection about it. However I don't have his contact info at this moment. But I am involved with various organization who hopes to educate the rest of the world about this matter.

Romsdalen

Romsdalen is a valley in the western part of Norway. The 60 km long valley runs through Rauma Municipality in Møre og Romsdal county and Lesja Municipality in Innlandet county. It is the valley of the Rauma river, from Old Norse word Raumsdalr which means Rauma valley. The traditional district of Romsdal, which makes up about one-third of Møre og Romsdal county, is named for the valley of Romsdalen. The main road E136 and the Rauma line runs along the valley floor.

Mannen is an unstable rock formation above the valley. Mannen is expected to someday slide into the valley, blocking the river. This could result in devastating flooding downstream if the river suddenly breaks through the dam created by the rockslide. Around Remmem and Flatmark the valley is littered with huge rocks or boulders that have fallen from the high mountains surrounding the valley.

Trolltindene and other summits on the western edge are protected as part of Reinheimen National Park. Alpine summits around Isterdalen and Trollstigen are partly within the national park, partly within Trollstigen protected landscape area.

Geography
The valley begins at the lake Lesjaskogsvatnet and it follows the Rauma River to the northwest to the town of Åndalsnes, where the river empties into the inner part of the great Romsdal Fjord. The Rauma Line and European Route E136 highway both run through the valley. The Romsdalsalpene mountains surround the river and the valley, including the mountains Store Trolltind, Store Venjetinden, Trollryggen, and Romsdalshornet. Romsdalen is joined by the Isterdalen valley with the Istra river located a few kilometers upstream from Åndalsnes and the two rivers create terraces of sand and gravel on a deeper layer of clay.

Romsdal Museum (Romsdalsmuseet) based in the town of Molde is one of the largest and most extensive folk museums in Norway. The Romsdalen Folk Museum is an outdoor museum which aspects of life in the Romsdalen valley from the 14th to the 20th century.

Summits
Notable summits around the main valley:
 * Romsdalshornet, at 1550 m
 * Trolltindene including
 * Store Trolltind, at 1788 m
 * Trollveggen big wall
 * Trollryggen, at 1740 m
 * Breitind, at 1797 m
 * Kalskråtinden, at 1803 m
 * Romsdalseggen
 * Tua (Rauma)
 * Rangåhøgda

Waterfalls
Several of Norway's and the world's tallest waterfalls plunge into the main valley.
 * Vermafossen, at 380 m in height
 * Døntefossen, at 700 m in height with the longest drop at 200 m
 * Mongefossen, at 773 m in height with the longest drop at 300 m (listed as 15th tallest in the world)
 * Ølmåafossen, at 720 m in height

Isterdalen valley:
 * Stigfossen, at 239 m in height with the longest drop at 122 m
 * Trollfossen, at 175 m in height

Transportation
The Rauma Line and European route E136 both run through the valley. The Rauma Line is the only railway line in Møre og Romsdal county and from 1924 until the 1970s, it was the key transport corridor between the county and Eastern Norway. The E136 highway is the only road between east and west that does not run through a mountain pass and connects the county to eastern Norway's road network. The road through Romsdalen was historically an important access to the ocean for farmers and miners in the eastern uplands. Since at least year 1500 the annual market near Åndalsnes was the largest market place outside Bergen and Trondheim. The iron works at Lesjaverk transported iron products to the port at Veblungsnes. The road was originally only for riding and walking. Around 1844 it was possible to drive the entire valley. This was at the time one of only two drivable road connections between east and west. When the telegraph was introduced in Norway in the 1860s, the line between East Norway and Møre og Romsdal was set up through the valley, as one of only two direct lines between east and west. Norwegian County Road 63 through Trollstigen mountain pass to Valldal was completed in 1936, with connections to the village of Geiranger.

Name
The Old Norse form of the name was Raumsdalr. The first element is the genitive case of a name Raumr probably the old (uncompounded) name of Romsdal Fjord, again derived from the name of the river Rauma. The second part of the word is dalr which means "dale" or "valley". Thus the name means "The Dale of Rauma".

Møre og Romsdal county is partly named after the Romsdal district, which in turn got its name from the valley. The county was previously called Romsdals amt (literally Romsdal's county).

Tourism
Tourism and angling in the Rauma river became an important business during the 19th century, wealthy Englishmen were the most important visitors. General William Bromley-Davenport purchased Fiva farm in 1849 and the 12 best kilometers of the river. Norway's first golf course was laid out in 1905 at Hølgenes hotel (later named Park hotel) by the English owner. The Romsdalen valley and the Romsdalen Alps are one of the most important climbing venues in Norway and Northern Europe. The steep and demanding Trollveggen is a classic in Norwegian rock face climbing. William Cecil Slingsby visited Romsdalen in 1875 and later. Arne Randers Heen was a local climber with several first ascents.

In fiction
The fictional detective Harry Hole is mentioned as being originally from Åndalsnes in the Romsdalen valley, while the series' writer Jo Nesbø is actually from Molde in the same region. The Bat, first book in the Harry Hole series, includes a passage of reminiscences, which might be based on the writer's own experiences:

In the 1995 survival horror video game Clock Tower: The First Fear, the Barrows Mansion (the primary setting for the game) is situated in the mountains of Romsdalen.

History
In 1612, a group of some 300 Scottish mercenaries landed near Åndalsnes and marched through the valley towards Sweden. The group was later massacred at Battle of Kringen.

After the German invasion of Norway on April 9, 1940, British troops landed at Åndalsnes and Namsos in an attempt to liberate Trondheim through large pincer movement. British vanguard force arrived at Åndalsnes on 12 April. The main landing of British troops, consisting primarily of the British 148th Infantry Brigade and commanded by Major General Bernard Paget, occurred on 17 April. On the day of the invasion, German troops immediately took control of Oslo, Stavanger, Bergen and Trondheim, while Åndalsnes and the towns of Møre og Romsdal remained free. Åndalsnes was the only free port with a railway connection south of Trondheim. The first British troops travelled from Åndalsnes to Dombås, a key road and railway junction, on April 19.

When the German invasion began the national gold holding was evacuated from Oslo through Romsdalen to Åndalsnes and Molde, and then by ship to Tromsø.

The Jacket was founded as the Berkeley High School Weekly News in 1912 by Edwin Elam, Jr. and Arthur Earll. By the 1920s, the paper adopted its name from the mascot of Berkeley High School, the Yellowjacket, and over the years it was published variously as the Berkeley Jacket, Berkeley Straight Jacket, Straight Jacket, Berkeley High Straight Jacket, and the Berkeley Daily Jacket.

From around the mid-1950s into the early 1960s, the paper was a daily, printed by students in the school's own print shop. Most issues at that time were one-sheets, that is, two-sided, 8½ x 11 inch pages. Friday issues were usually four pages long.

The paper is published every other Friday and is usually sixteen pages long, with only the front, back, and two middle pages in color. There are six sections in the paper: news, opinion, features, entertainment, sports, and investigative. The staff of the Jacket includes more than one hundred and fifty student editors, reporters, photographers, and videographers as well as one faculty advisor. The Jacket's editorial board is composed of about forty-five students who are elected by the previous year's editors.

School Colors
In 1994, Frontline (PBS), produced a four-hour documentary about racial politics at Berkeley High School entitled School Colors, including a segment about the Jacket. The paper's editorial board was extremely vocal throughout the broadcasting of the program and the internal strife that followed.

Journalist of the Year
In 1999, the paper gained widespread prominence after reporters Megan Greenwell (former editor in chief of Deadspin, now at WIRED) and Iliana Montauk broke a story in Berkeley that resulted in criminal prosecution. The Jacket first reported that local business-owner Lakireddy Bali Reddy and his family were importing young women from India to work as sex slaves after one such woman died of carbon monoxide poisoning in a Berkeley apartment complex.

For this reporting, the Society of Professional Journalists awarded the Jacket staff its highest honor, Journalist of the Year, making it the first-ever non-professional winner of the award.

Yellowjackets
In August 2008, Berkeley Repertory Theater kicked off its season with Yellowjackets, a play written by BHS alumnus and former Jacket editor Itamar Moses about life at Berkeley High in the mid-1990s. Directed by Tony Taccone, Yellowjackets focused on many of the events depicted in School Colors, including conflict resulting after the Jacket failed to print two articles about Chicano-Latino student activities at the school.

Website
The Jacket's website was most recently rebuilt in 2020. The site utilizes the WordPress content management system as its backbone, after using Drupal for many years. The Jacket launched online in 1998 under the domain "jacket.org" before switching to "bhsjacket.com" and later to "berkeleyhighjacket.com." On March 19, 2010 The paper received the Golden Crown Award for the Jacket Online from The Columbia Scholastic Press Association, "the highest award given to a student publication by the Association." In 2011, the online portion received the Silver Crown Award from Columbia. Since then, the Jacket's website has received various other awards from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association and the National Student Press Association, including the 2022 NSPA Online Pacemaker Award.
