New Hampshire Route 11

New Hampshire Route 11 is a 108.223 mi east–west state highway in New Hampshire, running completely across the central part of the state. Its western terminus is at the Vermont state line in Charlestown, where it continues west as Vermont Route 11. The eastern terminus is at the Maine state line in Rochester, where it crosses the border with U.S. Route 202 and continues as Maine State Route 11.

Its number is derived from its original 1925 designation as New England Interstate Route 11.

The highway follows a generally southwest to northeast alignment from the Vermont state line until reaching Lake Winnipesaukee, then turns southeast for the remainder of its routing to the Maine state line.

There are 3 auxiliary routes, labeled 11A through 11C, all located along the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee, and an additional former auxiliary route, 11D, which is still known by that name.

Charlestown to Newport
NH 11 begins on the western bank of the Connecticut River, where VT 11 crosses from Springfield, Vermont, into Charlestown, New Hampshire, just feet from its intersection with US 5. Just north of the town center, the highway meets and joins NH 12 north towards Claremont. NH 11 and NH 12 are cosigned for 9.9 mi. NH 12A, a western bypass of downtown Claremont, splits off just south of the city line. In downtown Claremont NH 11 leaves NH 12 and NH 103 joins eastbound, starting a longer 13.0 mi concurrency. The two highways cross the Sugar River and meet the southern terminus of NH 120 before continuing east towards Newport. In downtown Newport, NH 11 and 103 briefly join NH 10 before turning east again to leave town. The two routes continue east for another 3.2 mi before NH 103 splits off to the southeast.

Sunapee to Franklin
NH 11 continues east into Sunapee until reaching the town center, where it meets NH 103B, a connector to the Mount Sunapee Resort. NH 11 turns northward along the western side of Lake Sunapee and rounds the northern end of the lake at Georges Mills, turning back to the east. NH 11 enters the town of New London, meets the northern terminus of NH 103A (which runs along the east side of the lake) and immediately turns onto Interstate 89 south (at exit 12). NH 11 runs along I-89 for 3.0 mi before departing at exit 11. After leaving I-89, NH 11 continues east, crossing NH 114 before entering the town of Wilmot. Continuing east into Andover, the highway meets the southern terminus of NH 4A then joins US 4 for 2.7 mi. NH 11 then splits off, continuing northeast into Franklin. The road meets NH 3A near the west bank of the Pemigewasset River, and NH 11 turns south along NH 3A into downtown Franklin.

Franklin to Gilford (duplex with US 3)
Upon reaching the town center, NH 3A ends while NH 11 turns east joining US 3 and NH 127 to cross the Pemigewasset where it meets the Merrimack River. NH 127 immediately splits off to the north, then US 3 and NH 11 continue east across the Winnipesaukee River, paralleling it into Tilton. In the center of Tilton, the road intersects with NH 132 just feet north of the Northfield town line. NH 132 joins US 3 and NH 11 as the road turns northeast, continuing to parallel the Winnipesaukee River's west side. The highway interchanges with Interstate 93 near the western terminus of NH 140, then NH 132 splits off to the north. Continuing northeast, US 3 and NH 11 cross Lake Winnisquam and skirt the northern tip of Belmont. Just before reaching the city line with Laconia, US 3 and NH 11 split off onto the Gilford-Laconia Bypass, a freeway bypass of those two towns (the historic surface alignment continues into downtown as NH 11A and unsigned US 3 Business). The freeway bypasses downtown Laconia to the south, interchanging with NH 106 and NH 107 before crossing into Gilford, where the road turns due north and interchanges with NH 11A. The freeway ends 1.5 mi to the north, near Laconia Airport, and NH 11 splits off from US 3 after a 17.6 mi concurrency.

Gilford to Rochester
After splitting from US 3, NH 11 intersects with two of its "child" routes, NH 11C and NH 11B, as it heads towards Lake Winnipesaukee. The highway turns southeast along the southern end of the lake and crosses into the town of Alton. NH 11 intersects the eastern terminus of NH 11A before continuing south along the west side of Alton Bay. This section of the highway has views of the bay and of Lake Winnipesaukee as a whole. NH 11D provides local residential access along this semi-limited access section. NH 11 descends into Alton village and intersects with NH 28A, which runs up the eastern side of the bay. NH 11 and NH 28A are cosigned through the downtown area, passing the eastern terminus of NH 140 before meeting NH 28 at a large roundabout, where NH 28A ends. NH 11 continues southeast through New Durham without any major intersections before continuing into Farmington. NH 11 bypasses downtown Farmington to the southwest, with NH 75 and NH 153 providing local access. The highway continues southeast and crosses into the city of Rochester. NH 11 as a standalone route ends at its interchange with the Spaulding Turnpike (NH 16) and US 202, where it leaves its surface alignment and joins the Turnpike at exit 15. NH 11 exits the Turnpike at exit 16 with US 202 after less than 1/4 mi and interchanges with NH 125, which provides local access to downtown Rochester. US 202 and NH 11 continue through the district of East Rochester before crossing the Salmon Falls River into Lebanon, Maine. US 202 continues across the border while NH 11 becomes Maine State Route 11, which is signed as a north-south highway.

New Hampshire Route 11A
New Hampshire Route 11A is a 12.852 mi east–west state highway. Its western terminus is at US 3 and NH 11 in Belmont, just west of the Laconia city line. Its eastern terminus is in the town of Alton at NH 11. Its western section in downtown Laconia is overlapped by the unsigned US 3 Business and then NH 107.

NH 11A passes through the center of the town of Gilford. Gunstock Mountain Resort, a ski area, is also along the route.

New Hampshire Route 11B
New Hampshire Route 11B, is a 5.185 mi north–south state highway in the Lakes Region. Its northern terminus is at US 3 in the city of Laconia on the shore of Lake Winnipesaukee. The southern terminus is at NH 11A in the town of Gilford.

New Hampshire Route 11C
New Hampshire Route 11C is a short north–south state highway running for 1.734 mi entirely in the town of Gilford. Its southern terminus is at NH 11, just east of the northern end of the US 3 / NH 11 Super 2 freeway, and near the Laconia Municipal Airport. The northern terminus is at NH 11B. The road is named Lily Pond Road along its entire length.

New Hampshire Route 11D
New Hampshire Route 11D was a short state highway running for 3.29 mi entirely in the town of Alton. The road is no longer maintained by the New Hampshire Department of Transportation, but the road is still named "Route 11D." It acts as a local-traffic loop parallel to NH 11 along Alton Bay.

Bryostatin

Bryostatins are a group of macrolide lactones from (bacterial symbionts of) the marine organism Bugula neritina that were first collected and provided to JL Hartwell’s anticancer drug discovery group at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) by Jack Rudloe. Bryostatins are potent modulators of protein kinase C. They have been studied in clinical trials as anti-cancer agents, as anti-AIDS/HIV agents and in people with Alzheimer's disease.

Biological effects
Bryostatin 1 is a potent modulator of protein kinase C (PKC).

It showed activity in laboratory tests in cells and model animals, so it was brought into clinical trials. As of 2014 over thirty clinical trials had been conducted, using bryostatin alone and in combination with other agents, in both solid tumors and blood tumors; it did not show a good enough risk:benefit ratio to be advanced further.

It showed enough promise in animal models of Alzheimer's disease that a Phase II trial was started by 2010; the trial was sponsored by the Blanchette Rockefeller Neurosciences Institute. Scientists from that institute started a company called Neurotrope, and launched another clinical trial in Alzheimer's disease, preliminary results of which were released in 2017.

Bryostatin has also been studied in people with HIV.

Chemistry
Bryostatin 1 was first isolated in the 1960s by George Pettit from extracts of a species of bryozoan, Bugula neritina, based on research from samples originally provided by Jack Rudloe to Jonathan L. Hartwell’s anticancer drug discovery group at the National Cancer Institute (NCI). The structure of bryostatin 1 was determined in 1982. As of 2010 20 different bryostatins had been isolated.

The low concentration in bryozoans (to extract one gram of bryostatin, roughly one tonne of the raw bryozoans is needed) makes extraction unviable for large scale production. Due to the structural complexity, total synthesis has proved difficult, with only a few total syntheses reported so far. Total syntheses have been published for bryostatins 1, 2, 3, 7, 9 and 16. Among them, Wender’s total synthesis of bryostatin 1 is the shortest synthesis of any bryostatin reported, to date.

A number of structurally simpler synthetic analogs also have been prepared which exhibit similar biological profile and in some cases greater potency, which may provide a practical supply for clinical use.

Biosynthesis
In B. Neritina, bryostatin biosynthesis is carried out through a type I polyketide synthase cluster, bry. BryR is the secondary metabolism homolog of HMG-CoA synthase, which is the PKS in bacterial primary metabolism. In the bryostatin pathway, the BryR module catalyzes β-Branching between a local acetoacetyl acceptor acyl carrier protein (ACP-a) and an appropriate donor BryU acetyl-ACP (ACP-d).

The first step involves the loading of a malonyl unit onto a discrete BryU ACP-d within an initial BryA module. The extended BryU product in BryA is then loaded onto a cysteine sidechain of BryR for interaction with ACP-a. Upon interaction, BryR then catalyzes β-Branching, facilitating an aldol reaction between the alpha-carbon of the BryU unit and the β-ketone of ACP-a, yielding a product similar to HMGS products in primary metabolism. After β-Branching, subsequent dehydration by a BryT enoyl-CoA hydratase homolog (ECH), as well as BryA O-methylation and BryB double bond isomerization of the generated HMGS product, are carried out in specific domains of the bry cluster. These post-β-Branching steps generate the vinyl methylester moieties which are found in all natural product bryostatins. Finally, BryC and BryD are responsible for further extension, pyran ring closure, and cyclization of the HMGS product to produce the novel bryostatin product.

In the presence of BryR, ACP-d conversion to holo-ACP-d was observed prior to β-Branching. BryR was shown to have high specificity for ACP-d only after this conversion. Specificity for these protein-bound groups is a feature that differentiates the HMGS homologs found in primary metabolism, where HMGS typically acts on substrates linked to Coenzyme A, from those found in non-ribosomal peptide synthase (NRPS) or PKS pathways such as the bryostatin pathway.

Talk:List of place names in Canada of Indigenous origin

Quebec
Odds are almost everything I add is going to be unlinked. I don't know whether it's better to have a somewhat jarring mass of red, or less noticeable black. --Mothperson 16:39, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * I think it may be preferable to wikilink all places, even if it does result in gobs of red links. Leaving a new entry unlinked could allow for the interpretation that it is not noteworthy enough to have its own Wikipedia article, and I think that this list should stick to only those places that have that level of importance.  Thanks for the additions, Kurieeto 22:11, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)
 * I've got about 75 names at the moment. I don't know how to differentiate.  Size of lakes?  Length of rivers?  Population of towns?  There's a series of books from 1909 on American place names that is sort of horrifyingly complete - almost every single small stream and hill.  I don't want to go there!  I thought if it's on general maps, it's important enough, but I don't know.  That's what I'm using as a cut-off for New England. There, I haven't come to any conclusions as to whether each place deserves an article, but I'm leaning to probably not.  The list is a collection which conveys something in and of itself.  But I need some more guidance from you on what you want to see here.  Thanks.  --Mothperson 23:15, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * I agree, it is tricky trying to determine a threshold for notability. As an example set of data I googled the four additions you've made.  "Kénagami" into Google got 8 hits, but I was led to trying "Lac Kenogami", which had 9,420 hits.  I then tried "Lac Kenogami" into weather.ca and it returned data, so that one easily passed a test of importance.  In contrast, "Washicouta" resulted in no hits on Google, and Google didn't provide any other suggested search terms so I couldn't pursue it further.  Perhaps a Google threshold of 100 would be acceptable to make this list? Kurieeto 23:48, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)
 * Hey - that works for me. Good thinking.  And if I can't edit for - how long is it going to be? - I can google.  Great.  --Mothperson 00:02, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * During the down time yesterday, I pruned my list of the next-to-unknowns, and ended up with a small handful under a thousand-count. Everything else was in the thousands or multi-thousands. So I've upped the level.  Except for Killinek Island (999), I will put that handful on this page, just in case they turn out to be of interest.  And doing this was quite helpful.  I figured out why I didn't question my New England inclusions.  It's because I'm so familiar with most of the places, and therefore I wasn't questioning whether they were article-worthy.  I'm thinking about applying the system to the N.E. list, although I have a feeling I won't be deleting much.  Anyway, it was interesting.    What do you want to do about counties?  List them first or within the province body?  Quebec has 18 that qualify.  --Mothperson 13:34, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Sorry, I missed this question when it was first posted. I would suggest that if a name is used for both a county and a city, such as Rimouski, Quebec, that we make the link to the city the most prominent.  People relate to city/town names stronger than they do to regional names, and the names of counties & similar geographic distributions can change more quickly than city names I believe.  I would note Rimouski in the following way:
 * Rimouski (and county)

 * As another example of this naming convention, I'll use it on Caniapiscau, Quebec. Currently Caniapiscau is listed as:
 * Caniapiscau, Caniapiscau River, Lake Caniapiscau, Caniapiscau Regional County Municipality, Quebec
 * Instead, it could be listed as:
 * Caniapiscau (and river, lake, regional county municipality)

 * I think the brevity this notation allows for when a name is re-used is very advantageous. Kurieeto July 1, 2005 19:13 (UTC)

The disqualified handful:
 * Réservoir Pipmuacan (257 google hits)
 * Kaniapiskau (119)
 * Rivière Koksoak (314)
 * Little Mecantina River (184)
 * Meductic (761)
 * Rivière Caniapiscau (684) (I forget how or if this is related to the town Kaniapiskau, but I have an opaque note that there are two of the latter, so it probably is)
 * Rivière Talnustouc (154)
 * Rivière Opinaca (147)
 * Okak Islands in Newfoundland (361) (I ended up here by mistake)

C'est tout. This leaves me with a bunch of lakes and rivers to add, and a few towns. But first, I need to google my own list's places. --Mothperson 16:14, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * But Caniapiscau has 10,000 hits and 4 wikipedia articles (I added it to the list) Luigizanasi 19:00, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Yikes. My bad. Very. Thank you.  Cold comfort - at least I'm erring on the conservative side --Mothperson 21:09, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Caniapiscau. I know that one. Unlike some names in New England. --Mothperson 21:14, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Nxwísten, N'quatqua, Lil'wat and others by the thousands?
From the look of the main article it looks like only major cities are on the list; and it looks like you've evolved parameters for interest/hits or something as to what warrants a placenames inclusion. Potentially this list is huge and will need either subcategories of bullet-sections and subsections to break it down by area; the straightforward alphabetical list will be massive if all native placenames in Canada; even just in BC or Quebec or Manitoba alone. The names in the section title above are translations into the local language of definitely-significant towns and localities as well as their governing organizations and languages etc; they're in Wiki already, even though you've never seen them unless you've been in that particular part of BC or are up on native-BC news. I'll do the main well-known placenames in BC which are native in origin (and continuing use, in places like Kispiox and Kitimat and Cowichan) but I'm curious as to any guidelines for this kind of list; I gather hopelessly obscure names will never get hits, so that would mean they're off the list? I'll put in the ones I think are worth putting in I guess; and see where it goes from there (up or down); if someone thinks it's getting to need management into subcategories and knows how to do it, once it gets big enough (it will).Skookum1 09:50, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

Notice of intent to do Chinook Jargon toponymy (namelist)
Been thinking about this for a while even before I came to Wikiworld. After studying the Jargon pretty intently for a couple of years I wound up doing a lot of detailed mapwork, exploring BC and much of Alaska and the Mountain States by close-up oneline topos (BC Provincial Basemap and USGS-series http://www.topozone.com Topozone] mostly). Some Chinook authors have catalogued placenames, but a comprehensive list has never been done. Such names range over the entire region I call the Skookum Illahee - multiple meanings all meant, but here also meaning "the country where you hear the word skookum" - the regional range of the Chinook Jargon, which spanned the Northwest from Montana and Nevada through BC to Alaska and Yukon. And you don't always recognize them because the spelling has changed or for other reasons; Skookum Illahee also simply means "strong country". I guess I'll do my list of Chinook Jargon placenames and only link those for which there are other pages; when I get to it.Skookum1 09:50, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

Pondering List of place names of French origin in British Columbia
This may be a non sequitur for other provinces, but in BC many of these names may be of Euro-French origin or CJ-borrowings.....or adaptations into English e.g. Francois Lake (orig Lac des francais) - or from French into English such as Lac La Hache (originally Axe Lake). Didn't know where else to post this, this seems the logical place....it would seem not needed for NB or NS, where French or French-adapted Mi'kmaq names are common;Skookum1 (talk) 04:04, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

Requested move
moved. --rgpk (comment) 21:54, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

List of place names in Canada of Aboriginal origin → List of place names in Canada of aboriginal origin – No need for capitalization of "Aboriginal" in this instance. This moved was proposed by a now inactive editor many months ago, but never completed. DigitalC (talk) 17:05, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
 * See also WP:LOWERCASE. DigitalC (talk) 17:07, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

Support. I think the capitalisation confusion comes from the Australian Aborigine, but the common word synonymous with indigenous should not be capitalised. Rennell435 (talk) 00:39, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

remove Quilchena from the BC section
Though i have no Linguistic skills to track word origins, I don't think Quilchena is a word originally from first nations people of the Nicola Valley. the native and non-native people of the Nicola valley pronounce "Quilchena" exactly like "Cuilcheanna", Cuilcheanna i believe is of Scottish origin. People outside of the region pronounce Quilchena with a hard CH or CHu sound, with the region it is a soft CH or shh sound. There is a long history of scotish emigrants to BC. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mithrang (talk • contribs) 18:20, 13 February 2014 (UTC)

To expand on this. the Gaelic word "Cuilcheanna" means "The nook of the headland". while Quilchena has been defined as “flat land near water”. those definitions have a lot in common and sound very similar. I think that Quilchena is an uncommon Gaelic word that people have assumed to be First Nations. --Mithrang (talk) 21:43, 11 September 2018 (UTC)

 * It's unsourced and you're contesting it. It's ideal grounds for removal. Go ahead. (WP:VERIFY) Air.light (talk) 08:24, 17 September 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Shura

The procedure described here is not the way the all the scholars agree upon. The fact that the Amir makes a decision on his discretion without having to conform to the majority opinion IS a legitimate opinion of some scholars yet a weak one and has no strong evidence from the Quraan nor from the tradition of the Prophet. The Amir MUST go with the majority's decision or in other words, the majority opinion IS BINDING. It happened in all the incidents during the life of the Porphet. In addition to the clear proofs from the Quraan and the tradition of the prophet, the latter opinion protects the Shura process from the abuse of DICTATORS who claim to abide by Islamic rulings

Major revision
I followed the link to Shura and was appalled at what I saw. Not only was the account strongly Sunni, it also argued that only representative democracy was truly Islamic. While I tend to agree that representative democracy is the least bad of all alternatives , I have to recognize that it is only sparsely represented in Islamic history, or in contemporary Muslim-majority states.

The article probably still needs lots of work, and indubitably needs more references, especially to traditionalist POVs. Zora 22:32, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

Shoura is Not Binding, Amir's decision is binding

=='Ali and his supporters only later submitted to Abu Bakr. In later years, the party of Ali (Shi'at Ali) split from the rest of the Muslim community over this question of succession, thus splitting the ummah into Sunni and Shi'a groups.'== The above statement seems to be incorrect & contradicts with information available elsewhere on this website. The 'split' was not because of the above-stated reason but because of the two versions of the Prophetic Hadith: "I leave behind what you were to adhere to will never err: God's Book (ie AlQoraan) and ..." , the first version contains "...my Sunnah." which was enacted in the dogma of Ahl AsSunnah, while the second version contains "...my Household ( or 'Ahle Bayti') which was enacted in the dogma of Sheeyaat Ahle Bayt. Now the question needs to be resolved whether Sheeyaat Ali were Sheeyaat Ahle Bayt? Or they were just Muslims splitting up in support of their leaders as Sheeyaat Osman & Sheeyaat Ali? Also at the Moubayaat of Abu Bakr as Caliph, was Ali a serious contender for leadership, because he was only 33 years old only, the bravest young-man in Madina at that time. At that time only elderly with life experience were selected for leadership. The questions raised at the Saqeefa were: whether there should be a contender from Awas & Khazraj & a contender from the Mohajarin? Which was not agreed, as it will divide the unity of Muslims, as there should be only one successor to an Islamic State. This shows that there are no parties in the Shoura System.The question of leadership of Ali, may be put by some, was never put seriously to become an issue discussed by the majority as with the contendership of Abu Bakr who was 61 years old for the leadership & the most respected in the Islamic community after the Prophet, being the first companion, the fast friend of the Prophet & the most knowledgeable about Islam after the Prophet. As to the contention by Sheeyaat Ahle AlBayt that Ali had the right of Islamic leadership after the Prophet indirectly inferring from the Prophetic Hadith of Ghadeer Khom, in which the Prophet states: "Ali's standing with me is like standing of {Prophet} Haroon with {Prophet} Mousa {ie. as of deputy or 'wazeer'}" & states: "Ali is Protector { or 'Maula'} of Muslims" [& the subsequent unproved contention that Ayaat of Wilayat was excluded from the Qoraan at the time of the first collection of Qoraan in the era of the first Caliph Abi Bakr] & the Imamate {or leadership } of Prophet Ibrahim [Q:2:124-126] & then narrowing down to the Imamate of Ahle AlBayt [Q:21:73] (..." we have made them imams { or leaders..}& then further narrowing down to Ali & his progeny from the Prophet's daughter Fatima in Prophetic Hadith of  'Folks of the Shirt' & the Hadith in which the Prophet asked his companions "give me pen & ink I will write the will" & then he changed his mind, the contention that he was prevented to do so, is totally discounted by the fact that if it were so, what prevented him in declaring directly such on the pulpit during the last two Friday sermons of his life, so it will become a public fact. He was ill for two weeks before he passed away on Monday, & during the last two days he was so ill as not able to attend the congregational prayers, but he was able to give the sermon on the last two Fridays & he knew he was in the illness of death, as he had confided to his daughter Fatima. And he made during that sickness to Muslims all the exhortations regarding general matters: to take care of one's prayers & take care of women & other matters, & the succession was a matter of prime importance at that instance & he never tackled it: meaning that it was a matter of shoura, & not excluded from it as contended by Shiyaat Ahle AlBayt. He never directly ordained either on the pulpit or otherwise that 'Ali will be head of the Islamic State after him'. If it were so, the Muslims would have not obeyed contrary to the Messenger's command [as it happened in the Caliphate of Omar when a companion in a Friday sermon stood up & said: "I will not obey you until you explain where you got the second part of your garment", Omar said to his son: "Abdullah, get up & explain" & when Abdullah had explained that he had gifted his part of war booty cloth to his father so he could have a complete garment, the questioner stood up & said: "Now, Omar I will obey you" after the doubt had been clarified] & there would have been a tumult as happened after the assassination of the Third Caliph. The absence of that discounts this contention.ILAKNA (talk) 08:43, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

'(Redirected from Shoura)' Link Missing: Need To Be Inserted to 'Shura'
Shoura, From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, Redirect page, Shura,: Since when word 'shoura' is typed in the search box, it does not direct to the 'shura' article instead directs to the 'shoura council' which is linked with the former.

Shoura in state matters is more than 'consultation': it is counsel as to the 'Body of Opinion'
Shoura (K:42:38{the foundation of shoura in Islam & instituting the principle of shoura in Islam}) in matters of state is more than 'consultation': it is deliberation among the public (or their representative delegates) & then counsel to the head of the state in the Islamic governing system as to the 'Body of Opinion' of the bigger blackness (السواد الأعظم) (or the heads of the people), or the majority, towards an issue of the state, so the head of the state takes that opinion into consideration in his decision towards that issue for a better informed decision. This is to be meted by an instituted 'shoura assembly of the public' (جمعية شورى العموم). At the time of the prophet, his mosque will also serve as an adhoc shoura assembly. When there was a need to take a public decision, he would ask Bilal, his caller to the salat prayers, to give adhan (public call to salat) in other than salat times, replacing the sentences (حي على الصلاة و حي على الفلاح)(Live {or hasten} on the Salat & Live {or hasten} on the Prosperity) with 'as-salat jaamaa' (الصلاة جامعة) or 'the salat (prayers) is communal', & would send announcers in Medina market & squares to announce 'as-salat jaamaa' (الصلاة جامعة) or 'the salat (prayers) is communal' & the people will understand that a public matter needed to be decided by the prophet & they would assemble there, to advice prophet of their opinion towards the public issue. For example, in the decision where to face the opposing army in the Battle of Ohad, majority wanted away from the Medina, minority wanted at the outskirts of the Medina, so the prophet decided with majority and commanded the Islamic army to move to the Mount of Ohad outside Medina where the army of the Al-Qoreish had camped. The shoura encompasses the general referendum of the public as the prophet did in his mosque or the expert opinion as the prophet changed the location of the army in the Battle of Badar on the opinion of his companion (who advised him to cover the water-wells behind their army so the opposing army does not have access to it as a tactic of the battle-field to win the battle), or the voting of the delegates by pledging allegiance of the Medinite tribes of Al-Aws & Al-Khazraj to elect the prophet as the head of their state (first state in Islam) in Medina at the (last) Pledge of Allegiance (or mubayaa (مبايعة) at Al-Aqba, Makkah, (three months before his migration to Medina) with the ensuing signing of the 'scroll (or pact) of the Medina' (delineating the agreed way to govern them) with the delegates of the Bani Israel & Associators (Mushrikeen), the sections of the population of Medina who were not a party to the Pledge of Allegiance of Aqba. The setup of the 'Shoura System in Islam' is left to the ijtihad (or mental self-striving ) of the community as to the needs of the community at the time. Since the first caliph was elected in two parts: first by the shoura of the by (or mubayaa (مبايعة) of the majority of people present in the hut of the Bani Saqeefa: the inner circle or the influential people (أهل العقد و الحّل) (lit. the people of the tying & untying) & secondly by the following public pledge of allegiance (or mubayaa (مبايعة) of the majority of public of Medina next day, & this was within the Shoura system in Islam. The second caliph was elected in two parts: first as the dying testament of the first caliph as the circumstances deemed it as huge wars were in progress, & secondly by the following public pledge of allegiance (or mubayaa (مبايعة) of the majority of public of Medina next day, & this was within the Shoura system in Islam. The third caliph was elected in two parts: first out of the committee of six selected by the dying second caliph, & secondly by the following public pledge of allegiance (or mubayaa (مبايعة) of the majority of public next day, & this was within the Shoura system in Islam. The fourth caliph was elected in two parts: first by the companions of the prophet, & secondly by the following public pledge of allegiance (or mubayaa (مبايعة) of the majority of public next day, & this was within the Shoura system in Islam. The first four caliphs are considered 'guided' most pious caliphs by the majority of Muslims as per the prophetic hadith, as they were very close to the prophet their understanding of the subtleties of Islam was deeper, and their actions can guide the ijtihad, being their actions guaranteed to be within the framework of Islam. 78.93.211.105 (talk) 15:08, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

Shouracracy: the rule by shoura
Since Q:42:38 is the root-cause ayat (or verse) for government in Islam, a new word 'shouracracy' need to be coined, to represent the rule by shoura, which would include all types of governing systems which have existed under Islam, whether they are fully shouracratic or fully despotic, or in between them & this should include links to the following topics, as a comprehensive umbrellatic word for rule in Islam: 1.Caliphate. 2.Islamic Democracy. 3.Islamic Republic. 4.Islamic State. 5.Shura. 78.93.211.105 (talk) 08:12, 28 July 2015 (UTC)

Move
I've moved this page back to its original title because Caroline Matilda's highest rank was queen consort and therefore her article should follow the naming conventions for queen consorts, eg. "Alexandra of Denmark" not "Princess Alexandra of Denmark". Deb 16:41, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Cleanup and Expert Tags
Interesting article! Has all the makings of a great PBS drama.

I have tagged this article because there are few things I found that seemed to conflict, a little repetition, and some references that were not clear to me.

Under Affair:
 * Caroline Matilda was unhappy in her marriage, neglected and spurned by the king, and affected by his illness. This is an almost identical sentence to one in prior paragraph.

 * The Queen was well aware that Struensee was behind these improvements, No improvements previously mentioned-assume king's improvements?

 * Through the Queen, Struensee gained control over the King and took over absolute power in Denmark. This seems to contradict prior statements that k ing came to trust Streunsee without mention of the queen, and the point that the king didn't pay much attention to the queen in general. So, how did this come about?

 * The court moved to Frederiksborg Palace on 19 November and then back to Christiansborg Castle on 8 January 1772.  Is this an important point? Why?

 * their marriage ended up in divorce.. I assume that means the king and queen, but previously discussing Streunsee and accomplice, so a little confusing.

Also the article needs copyediting for standard English after expert corrections made.

Peacedance (talk) 16:48, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

This Danish reference, digitalized from a reference-book, has a great deal of information []. I'll try to answer some of your concerns.

 * No need for repetition.

 * Struensee, who had the king's full confidence, managed to convince the king to show the queen a little bit more consideration and to be more civil to her, rather than rude, in every day life, and to avoid making the situation worse.

 * In 1770, the king was no longer sane and the court started to pay more attention to the queen and regard her as the "first person" at court. As her lover, Struensee came to rule. He already had control of the king, whos signature he required, but informally, the court regarded the queen to be the kings legal guardian, as she was offcicially the person colsest to him. This was, however, only a case about attitudes.

 * I am not sure. But this was the year of the revolution, so best let it stay until we now.

 * The king and queen was divorced, yes, Struensee was executed.

The article can be expanded through this reference - sadly, it is in Danish. It is a good article, but its problem is that the text should be a little rearranged to avoid confusion, as the chronology of events is a little unclear. --85.226.43.158 (talk) 15:25, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

 * The part about the move from Frederiksborg to Christiansborg is probably to stress that it was crucial for the plotters that Struensee and the king and queen was in Copenhagen, as the regiments of the supporting officers of the coup was placed in Copenhagen. Had they stayed on in Frederiksborg the coup would have had to have been postponed. --Saddhiyama (talk) 15:59, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

 * I have now expanded and clearified the article. I hope this was a little clearer. --85.226.43.158 (talk) 16:37, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Thanks for all of the new information, 85.226.43.158. and also Saddhiyama. It is really interesting. I did look at the reference, but Google can't translate it very well. May look some more later. I did get a laugh when it said the something about the queen's behavior and the label embossed(sic) court. I imagine it was supposed to have something to do with the court's impression, but where they got the "label" I have no idea!

I did a little more work tonight on clarity/continuity. There were some instances of, "She did A, instead of B, which was considered scandalous." - was A or B scandalous? And, the typical label "Later Life" didn't quite fit, because she died at 24, etc. I did make a fair number of changes, but I don't think any big deal, just for ease of reading and continuity, about which I am a bit compulsive (I am a research writer).

Please revert anything that is incorrect or meaning changed - I don't want to rain on anyone's parade! Someone had a hold of a part, so some is lost, but that's the way it goes. Maybe another night. Thanks for answering all my questions. Lara Peacedance (talk) 04:31, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

Midnight Lace

Midnight Lace is a 1960 American psychological thriller film directed by David Miller and starring Doris Day, Rex Harrison, John Gavin, Myrna Loy, and Roddy McDowall. The plot centers on a woman threatened by an anonymous stalker and who has a hard time convincing others of what is happening. The screenplay by Ivan Goff and Ben Roberts was based on the play Matilda Shouted Fire by Janet Green. The new title referred to a lacy dress that Day's character purchases early in the film and wears at the climax.

The film was released theatrically in the fall of 1960. Day was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress, and costume designer Irene Lentz earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Color Costume Design.

A television film remake of Midnight Lace, starring Mary Crosby and Gary Frank, premiered on NBC on February 9, 1981.

Plot
American heiress Kit Preston and her British business owner husband Tony live in a wealthy neighborhood of London in a building undergoing major renovation. Returning home in a dense fog through Grosvenor Square, Kit is startled by a disembodied male voice that threatens to kill her. The following day, Tony's assistant, Daniel Graham, notifies Tony that he has been looking at the books of Tony's company, and it appears a large sum of money has been embezzled from their firm.

When Kit returns to her apartment, she notices a gaunt man staring at her. Moments later, she is nearly injured by a falling girder outside the building, but is pushed out of harm's way by Brian Younger, a contractor working on the renovation. Later, Kit receives a menacing phone call from the same voice she heard in the park, again threatening to kill her. When neighbor Peggy observes Kit's anxiety, she phones Tony who brings Kit to file a report with the Scotland Yard. Inspector Byrnes dismisses the incident as Kit seeking attention from her husband.

Kit's aunt, Bea Coleman, arrives in London to visit her. Kit confides in Bea about the recent events and is comforted by her. Shortly after, Tony cancels the couple's planned trip to Venice due to a business obligation. Kit receives another obscene call that Tony attempts to listen in on from another phone, but Kit hangs up, unable to endure the caller's verbal abuse. The next day, Kit becomes trapped in the building's elevator due to a malfunction. A shadowy man approaches the elevator and enters the car through its roof, terrifying Kit, before it is revealed to be Brian, attempting to rescue her. Brian takes Kit to a local pub, where he recounts a near-death experience while he served in World War II.

Several days later, Kit attends a ballet with Tony and Bea, along with Malcolm, the son of Kit's maid Nora, and Charles Manning, the treasurer of Tony's company. During the ballet, Malcolm makes vague threats toward Kit, requesting additional money to help care for his mother. Kit demurs him, insisting she will ensure Nora is cared for. Tony intervenes, and passively accuses Malcolm of being responsible for the menacing phone calls Kit has received.

Over the ensuing days, Kit becomes increasingly paranoid. After receiving another call, Kit encounters the mysterious gaunt man in her apartment, and screams in horror. Brian hears her screams and rushes to her apartment, but no intruder is located when police arrive. The next day, Kit spots the gaunt man again on the street and is pushed in front of a bus, nearly killing her. Kit begs Peggy to lie to Tony that she has heard the voice of Kit's stalker on the phone, hoping to legitimize her story so that police will take her claims seriously. Peggy complies, but is rebuffed when Tony informs her that the phone has been disconnected all day.

Tony and Bea become convinced Kit is delusional, and send her to a psychiatrist. Tony finally agrees to embark on the trip to Venice. Before Tony leaves for a business meeting, the caller phones again. Tony has Byrnes surround the apartment building, hoping to catch the assailant, and pretends to leave. Meanwhile, Brian spots the gaunt man in a pub and follows him. In the darkened apartment, Kit is confronted by the gaunt man, but Tony attacks and incapacitates him. Kit assumes she is safe, only for Tony to reveal that he and Peggy conspired to torment Kit before killing her and staging her death as a suicide, with the motive of inheriting Kit's fortune to repay Tony's business debts. As Tony attempts to murder Kit, the gaunt man reveals that he is in fact Peggy's estranged husband, who learned of her affair with Tony, and wants to kill her. Kit escapes the apartment by walking along the construction girders and scaffolding outside the balcony, just as Byrnes and Brian arrive. Brian helps Kit back into the apartment, where Byrnes reveals he discovered Tony's guilt after tapping their phone.

Development
The film was based on the play Matilda Shouted Fire by Janet Green. In August 1958, it was touring the provinces in Britain but had not arrived in London when Universal announced they had acquired the screen rights as a vehicle for Doris Day. In March 1959, Ben Roberts and Ivan Goff signed to write the script. The film would be done as a co-production between Universal and Arwin, the company of Day's husband.

In February 1960, the title was changed to Midnight Lace.

Casting
Producer Ross Hunter convinced Myrna Loy to come out of retirement to appear in the film.

Filming
Day found the making of the film emotionally taxing, and on one occasion collapsed on the set, resulting in producer Hunter temporarily halting the production.

Release
Midnight Lace premiered in New York City on October 13, 1960.

Critical response
The Time critic described the film:

"Another of those recurrent thrillers (Sorry, Wrong Number; Gaslight; The Two Mrs. Carrolls; Julie) in which a dear, sweet, innocent girl is pursued by a shadowy figure of evil who threatens her with all sorts of insidious molestation...Like its predecessors, Midnight Lace is not very interesting in itself, but it is uncomfortably fascinating when considered as one of the persistent fantasies of a monogamous society...False leads trail off in at least seven directions, but the climax of the film will come to most mystery buffs as no surprise...Doris Day wears a lot of expensive clothes, and in attempting to portray the all-American missus behaves like such a silly, spoiled, hysterical, middle-aged female that many customers may find themselves less in sympathy with her plight than with the villain's murderous intentions."

Variety wrote:

"In a Ross Hunter effort the emphasis is on visual satisfaction. The idea seems to be to keep the screen attractively filled. First and foremost, it is mandatory to have a lovely and popular star of Doris Day's calibre. She is to be decked out in an elegant wardrobe and surrounded by expensive sets and tasteful furnishings. This is to be embellished by highly dramatic lighting effects and striking hues, principally in the warmer yellow-brown range of the spectrum. The camera is to be maneuvered, whenever possible, into striking, unusual positions...The effervescent Day sets some sort of record here for frightened gasps. Harrison is capable. Director David Miller adds a few pleasant little humorous touches and generally makes the most of an uninspired yarn."

Accolades
Doris Day was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress - Motion Picture Drama. Irene Lentz was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Color Costume Design.

Home media
Universal first released Midnight Lace on VHS in 1987, through the MCA Home Video banner. In 2014, the film was released on DVD through the Turner Classic Movies Vault Collection with several bonus materials. The film was re-released on DVD in several editions by Turner in the following years, as well as by Universal as a stand-alone DVD and in the Doris Day: The Essential Collection, which features 5 other films starring Day (Pillow Talk, Lover Come Back, The Thrill of It All, Send Me No Flowers, and The Man Who Knew Too Much).

A Blu-ray edition was released on June 25, 2019 by Kino Lorber, featuring the film in two different widescreen ratios (2:1 and 1.78:1).

Simpson University

Simpson University is a private Evangelical Christian liberal arts college in Redding, California. Originally founded in 1921 in Seattle as Simpson Bible Institute, the institution relocated to San Francisco in 1955 and then to Redding in 1989. It is affiliated with the Christian and Missionary Alliance.

History
Simpson College, named after Albert Benjamin Simpson, a pioneer of the Bible institute movement and founder of The Christian and Missionary Alliance denomination, was established in 1921. Created by W.W. Newberry with the intent of promoting spiritual growth and Christian service in its students, the school initially only offered two-year programs. By 1945 it had expanded its offering and also became the official western regional school of The Christian and Missionary Alliance. By 1971 the college was large enough to offer in-depth liberal arts programs, professional degrees, and biblical courses. Another historic milestone was reached in 1989 when Simpson relocated to its current location in Redding and began building a new campus. In 2004, Simpson College became Simpson University.

The institution was granted an exception to Title IX in 2014, allowing Simpson to legally maintain constitutionally protected and biblically-based views and practices regarding marriage and sexuality.

Academics
Simpson offers many degrees at both the undergraduate and graduate level. In additional to its School of Traditional Undergraduate Studies, it is also home to the Betty M. Dean School of Nursing, which is accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education; the School of Education; School of Adult Studies (ASPIRE degree-completion program); School of Graduate Professional Studies; and A.W. Tozer Theological Seminary.

Athletics
The Simpson athletic teams are called the Red Hawks. The institution is a member of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), primarily competing in the California Pacific Conference (Cal Pac) for most of its sports since the 1996–97 academic year; while its men's and women's wrestling teams compete in the Cascade Collegiate Conference (CCC), and the swimming & diving teams compete in the Pacific Collegiate Swim Conference (PCSC). They also previously competed as a member of the National Christian College Athletic Association (NCCAA), primarily competing as an independent in the West Region of the Division I level from 1991–92 to 2014–15. The athletic department offers multiple sports programs for both men and women.

Simpson competes in 19 intercollegiate varsity sports: Men's sports include baseball, basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, swimming & diving, track & field, volleyball and wrestling; while women's sports include basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, swimming & diving, track & field, volleyball and wrestling; and co-ed sports include cheerleading. Club sports include co-ed bass fishing. Simpson will be adding football in 2024.

Mascot
Originally, while still located in San Francisco, the school's athletes were the Knights. After the school moved to Redding, there was a conflict with nearby Shasta College, who were also the Knights. Simpson remained the Knights for the first year in Redding, and in 1990 adopted Vanguard as its mascot. In the fall of 2004, Simpson again changed its mascot to a Red Hawk.

Awards
Between 1999 and 2017, Simpson has won the Cal Pac Sportsmanship award, which is chosen by the conference's coaches and administrators, seven times. The women's softball team also won the school's first conference title, male or female, in the 2011 Cal-Pac Conference Championship. The institution has also had three women's teams make it to the NCCAA National Championship, including volleyball in 1999, basketball in 2002, and softball in 2015.

Notable alumni

 * Doris Brougham - American educator, missionary, and founder of ORTV
 * Kathryn Kuhlman - Faith healer and evangelist
 * Brandon Leake - Poet and winner of America's Got Talent
 * Archie E. Mitchell - Missionary who disappeared during the Vietnam war, also part of the Fu-Go balloon bomb incident.
 * Yemi Mobolade- Politician and Businessman, current mayor of Colorado Springs

Here Comes the Judge (Pigmeat Markham song)

"Here Comes the Judge" is a song by American soul and comedy singer Pigmeat Markham, first released as a single in 1968 on the Chess label. The record entered the UK Singles Chart in July 1968, spending eight weeks on the chart and reaching number 19 as its highest position. The song originated with his signature comedy routine "heyeah (here) come da judge", which featured Markham as a courtroom judge dealing with various legal cases and made a mockery of formal courtroom etiquette. Due to its rhythmic use of boastful rhyming dialogue over a funky drum beat, it is considered a precursor to hip hop music.

The song contained background vocals from soul singer Minnie Riperton, who was credited as Andrea Davis when she was recording for Chess Records, the label that released "Here Comes the Judge". It also featured future Earth, Wind & Fire founder Maurice White, then a staff drummer at Chess Records, on drums providing the signature drum beat to the song.

Personnel

 * Pigmeat Markham – vocals
 * Andrea Davis – backing vocals
 * Cash McCall – guitar
 * Gene Barge – saxophone
 * Maurice White – drums

Other songs, cover versions and samples
Songs with the same name have been recorded by several artists; most notably, Shorty Long, whose 1968 Tamla Motown song "Here Comes the Judge" also entered the UK chart in July 1968 but only reached number 30 as its highest position. Long's song is completely different from Markham's, however it was inspired by Markham's comic act involving a judge, which Markham performed on Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In. The Markham song was also covered, as a parody, by the British band The Barron Knights, as part of their "An Olympic Record". Peter Tosh, The Vapors and the Magistrates have recorded songs called "Here Comes the Judge" but they are different songs.

Markham's original version was prominently sampled by Big Audio Dynamite II during the middle of their song "Rush".

Khimki

Khimki (Химки, ) is a city in Moscow Oblast, Russia. It is located approximately 18 km northwest from central Moscow, and is part of the Moscow metropolitan area.

Origins and formation
Khimki was initially a railway station that existed since 1850 on the Moscow – Saint Petersburg Railway. The Moskva-Volga Canal was constructed between 1932 and 1937 on which Khimki lies on the west bank. Khimki was then officially founded in 1939.

Khimki in the Battle of Moscow
The German attack starting the Battle of Moscow (code-named 'Operation Typhoon') began on 2 October 1941. The attack on a broad front brought German forces to occupy the village of Krasnaya Polyana (now in the town of Lobnya) to Moscow's North West. Krasnaya Polyana was taken on 30 November.

Many sources state that at least one German army patrol visited Khimki. Similarly many sources state this as the closest point the Germans reached to Moscow (Khimki at the time was 8 km from the edge of Moscow). Among the sources stating the Germans visited Khimki the details of the date and unit involved are inconsistent and disputed. One story of events asserts a skirmish took place in Khimki on 16 October at the Leningradskoe Shosse bridge involving a German motorcycle unit, but this would have been far from the main body of German forces at that time. Another account is a patrol reached Khimki around 30 November or early December before returning to its main unit without combat. The dates mentioned for this second account vary. A myth surrounding this is that the Germans would have been able to see the Kremlin 19 kilometres in the distance from Khimki.

The Soviet Army counter offensive for "removing the immediate threat to Moscow" started on 5 December on the North-Western Front (the area around Khimki North West of Moscow). The South-Western Front and Western Fronts began their offensives on 6 December. The German forces were driven back. Moscow was never under such close land threat again during the war.

A memorial in the form of a giant tank trap is located at the "Kilometer 23" point 55.91281°N, 37.40294°W) of Leningradskoye Highway (the highway to St. Petersburg). The memorial is 1.8 km south east of Molzhaninovo railway station. The memorial was unveiled on 6 December 1966 as a 25th anniversary recognition of the launch of the Soviet counter offensive. This location is just short of an intersection with the Moscow–St Petersburg railway (close to where the IKEA shopping centre has since been built). This memorial and shopping centre on the Northern side of Khimki has a direct distance of 22 kilometres from Moscow city centre. At the time of the conflict this location was outside Khimki. This memorial is different to the Khimki War Memorial moved in 2007 to in Novoluzhinskoe cemetery.

Post war
Khimki was home to several Soviet aerospace defense development centers that became the principal employers for the majority of the city population. This included R&D enterprises which designed surface-to-air missiles for S-75, S-125, S-200, S-300 Soviet air defense systems, engines for intercontinental ballistic missiles and satellite launch vehicles, and other types of equipment. For this reason, Khimki was off limits for all foreigners visiting the country, despite its location on a highway between Moscow and its major international airport.

In 2010 the city saw protests over the construction of the new Moscow–Saint Petersburg motorway through the Khimki Forest.

The city of Khimki is adjacent to the city of Moscow, immediately beyond the Moscow Ring Road (MKAD).

Population
Population: 254,748 (2019 Census); 207,425 (2010 Census); 141,000 (2002 Census); 106,000 (1977); 23,000 (1939).

Politics
Until 2001, the head of the Khimki region was Yuri Korablin, and the vice-head was Sergei Krivorotenko. In 2001, Korablin became a deputy of the Moscow Oblast Duma, and his post was automatically taken by the vice-head. Unlike other municipalities in the Moscow Oblast, the charter of the Khimki district clearly provided for this option.

In September 2003, Sergei Krivorotenko disappeared from the administration. Subsequently, a criminal case was opened against him, and on 25 July 2006, he was arrested and soon convicted.

In the elections on 7 December 2003, Vladimir Strelchenko was elected to the post of head of the Khimki district (20.0% of the votes, or 15,085); the vice-head was businessman Igor Belousov. Strelchenko was supported in the elections by the governor of the Moscow Oblast, Boris Gromov. The second candidate, Yevgeny Artamonov, received 16.8% of the vote (12,672).

In the 2009 elections, Vladimir Strelchenko was re-elected to the post of head of the Khimki urban district (50.4%, or 27,443). Igor Belousov also participated in the elections and scored 22.8% (12,401).

On 15 August 2012, Vladimir Strelchenko announced through the official website of the City Administration that he resigned, effective 17 August 2012. This information was confirmed by the Administration of the Governor of the Moscow Oblast. Maria Kitaeva, the governor's adviser on information issues, told ITAR-TASS, "he wrote a letter of resignation of his own free will." The statement was written after Strelchenko's conversation with Sergei Shoigu. One of the reasons for the resignation of Vladimir Strelchenko was the appearance of compromising evidence on the Himkileaks website.

On 17 August 2012, First Deputy Head of Administration Oleg Shakhov was appointed acting Head of the Khimki City District, having taken this position only two days earlier - on 15 August 2012. Before this, Shakhov worked as first deputy governor of the Tula Oblast. Having defeated opposition candidate Yevgeniya Chirikova in the elections held on 14 October 2012, Shakhov became the Head of the city district.

In November 2014, Oleg Shakhov was accused of fraud of 22 million rubles, after which he wrote a letter of resignation from the post of head of the city district, which was approved by the Council of Deputies of the city district. On 10 November 2014, Vladimir Sleptsov was appointed acting head of the Khimki administration, and in December of the same year he was confirmed as head of the district administration. On 14 November 2014, deputies of the Council of Deputies of the Khimki City District elected Alexander Dryannov as the new Head of the city district.

On 2 August 2016, Vladimir Sleptsov was appointed head of the Khimki city district. On 22 September 2016, Sleptsov resigned of his own free will. First Deputy Head of Administration Dmitry Voloshin was appointed acting head of the city district. In December 2016, by decision of the Council of Deputies, Dmitry Voloshin was elected head of the Khimki city district.

Parties
The Council of Deputies of the Khimki urban district consists of six parties: United Russia, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia, A Just Russia, Yabloko, and Rodina.

Secretary of the local branch of the United Russia Party - Dmitry Voloshin.

First secretary of the Khimki city branch of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation - Alexey Perfilov.

Coordinator of the Khimki branch of the LDPR - Nikolai Kovtun.

Chairman of the Khimki branch of A Just Russia - Mikhail Khorsev.

Administrative and municipal status
Within the framework of administrative divisions, it is incorporated as Khimki City Under Oblast Jurisdiction—an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts. As a municipal division, Khimki City Under Oblast Jurisdiction is incorporated as Khimki Urban Okrug.

Economy
The city enjoys a great deal of commercial activity due to its location between Moscow and one of its main airports, Sheremetyevo.

some aerospace-development centers located in Khimki contribute to a program of the International Space Station. Former Soviet aerospace and defense development centers located in Khimki:

Obadiah (Khazar)

Obadiah was the name of a Khazar ruler of the late eighth or early ninth century. He is described as coming from among "the sons of the sons" of Bulan, but whether this should be taken literally to mean that he was Bulan's grandson, or figuratively to imply a more remote descent, is unclear. King Joseph's Reply claimed that Obadiah strengthened Rabbinic Judaism and Hebrew proficiency in Khazaria by building synagogues and schools and inviting Jewish sages to the country. In Sefer ha-Ittim, Judah ben Barzillai's list of Khazar Jewish kings lacked Obadiah's name, and several scholars have concluded from this that Obadiah was a fictional character. He was succeeded by his son Hezekiah.

Nuneaton railway station

Nuneaton railway station serves the market town of Nuneaton in Warwickshire, England. The station is managed by West Midlands Trains. It is served by three railway lines: the Trent Valley section of the West Coast Main Line (WCML), the Birmingham-Leicester-Peterborough line and the Coventry to Nuneaton branch line. The station was known, during the period 1924–1969, as Nuneaton Trent Valley, to distinguish it from the now closed Nuneaton Abbey Street station; many local people still refer to it as Trent Valley.

The station lies on the north-eastern edge of Nuneaton town centre, just outside the ring road.

19th and 20th century
The original Nuneaton station was opened on 15 September 1847, when the London and North Western Railway (LNWR) opened the Trent Valley Line; the branch line to Coventry opened in 1850. The original station, like many others on the line, had been designed by John William Livock. A simple two platform structure, it became inadequate to cope with the growing traffic, and was rebuilt on a larger scale with extra platforms in 1873. It was rebuilt and enlarged again in 1915, with its current buildings, which were designed by Reginald Wynn Owen. The most prominent feature of which is the clock tower. In 1873, another line had opened: the Ashby and Nuneaton Joint Railway, to link Ashby-de-la-Zouch and Coalville in order to access the large coal reserves located there. The line was closed to passengers in 1931, but remained open for goods until 1971. Part of it was later reopened as the heritage Battlefield Line.

A second station in Nuneaton, Nuneaton Midland, had been opened by the Midland Railway in 1864 on the line between Birmingham and Leicester. When both the LNWR and Midland Railway became part of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) in 1924, both station were renamed; the present station became known as Nuneaton Trent Valley and the former Midland station becoming Nuneaton Abbey Street. Abbey Street station was closed in 1968 and the present station reverted to being called just Nuneaton; it took on the Birmingham to Leicester services.

Other stations serving Nuneaton included the aforementioned Abbey Street and two suburban stations at Stockingford, on the line towards Birmingham, and Chilvers Coton on the line to Coventry. These were all closed in the 1960s, on implementation of the 1963 Reshaping of British Railways report, leaving only the present station. In addition, on 18 January 1965, the Coventry – Nuneaton line closed to passengers, reopening to passengers in 1988. In 2016, a new station in Nuneaton, Bermuda Park was opened on this line.

21st century
In 2004, Network Rail built two new platforms, numbered 6 and 7, on the eastern side of the station. These were built as part of a grade separation project to separate trains on the Birmingham to Peterborough line from those on the West Coast Main Line; this was to avoid the need for Birmingham-Leicester trains to cause conflicting movements by running across the WCML on the level. A disused flyover north of the station, which carries the Birmingham to Peterborough line over the WCML, was restored to use; a connection was built between this and the new platforms, which were dedicated to the Birmingham-Leicester-East Anglia services.

In November 2012, the 0.9 mile Nuneaton North Chord opened to the north of the station. The chord allows freight trains approaching Nuneaton from Felixstowe, via the Birmingham–Peterborough line, to join the northbound WCML after crossing the flyover, allowing them to avoid conflicts with southbound main line trains.

Layout and facilities
The station has a total of seven through platforms, consisting of one side platform (platform 1) on the western side of the station, and three island platforms containing platforms 2 to 7, all of which are linked by a footbridge which has full lift access. The main station building is adjacent to platform one and contains the main facilities, including a staffed ticket office and a cafe shop.

Services
West Midlands Trains operate an hourly service, southbound to London Euston via Rugby and Milton Keynes Central, and northbound to Crewe calling at all stations (except for Polesworth which receives only a 06:37 Monday-Saturday service from Nuneaton northbound) via Stafford.
 * West Coast Main Line:

Avanti West Coast also operate an hourly service, southbound to London Euston non-stop, and northbound to Manchester Piccadilly via Stoke-on-Trent and Stockport.

CrossCountry operate two trains per hour, westbound to Birmingham New Street, and eastbound to Leicester, one of these continues to Stansted Airport via Peterborough and Cambridge. All services on this line use platforms 6 and 7.
 * Birmingham–Peterborough line

West Midlands Trains also provide an hourly service southbound to Leamington Spa via Coventry. This normally uses platform 1.
 * Coventry–Nuneaton line:

1975 accident
In the early hours of 6 June 1975, an overnight sleeper train from London to Glasgow derailed and crashed just south of Nuneaton station, killing six people and injuring 38. It was caused when the train ran onto a length of temporary track with a speed restriction at too high a speed. Lighting equipment illuminating a board giving advance warning of the speed restriction failed; this led the driver to wrongly conclude that it had been lifted, so he failed to slow down. One of the locomotives mounted the platform, causing damage to the station. A plaque commemorating the victims of the crash was unveiled at the station in August 2015.

Motive Power Depot
The LNWR opened a small locomotive depot in 1847 which was used until 1878 when it was replaced by a larger facility. The engine sheds were doubled in size in 1888 and enlarged still further in 1892. This was an important freight Depot for the WCML and its connections at Trent Valley Station, also catering for local passenger services. It was located to the south of the station between the main line and that to Coventry. The depot closed 6 June 1966 and has since been demolished.

White-throated tinamou

The white-throated tinamou (Tinamus guttatus) is a species of bird native to the Amazon rainforest of Brazil, northern Bolivia, southeastern Colombia, northeastern Ecuador, eastern Peru and southern Venezuela.

Etymology
The scientific name for the white-throated tinamou, Tinamus guttatus, originates from two different languages. Tinamus was the name given to the tinamou by the Kalina people. Guttatus means "speckled" in Latin. This may be in reference to the yellowish-white spots on a white-throated tinamou's lower back.

Taxonomy
All tinamous are from the family Tinamidae and members of the infraclass Palaeognathae. Tinamous are the only members from their infraclass that aren't ratites, and can even fly, albeit poorly. All paleognaths evolved from prehistoric flying birds, and tinamous are the closest living relative of these birds. The white-throated tinamou is a member of the genus Tinamus, which consists of some of the larger tinamous, the white-throated tinamou being the smallest member of the genus. It was first described by Austrian ornithologist August von Pelzeln in 1863. It is a monotypic species, meaning it doesn't branch off into subspecies.

Description
The white-throated tinamou has chestnut-brown upperparts with blackish streaking on lower back and small yellowish-white spots. It has paler underparts with wider, dark barring on flanks. It has a grey head and neck, with a white throat, brown eye, and brown bill. These birds measure between 32 and 36 cm in length.

Behavior
Like other tinamous, the white-throated tinamou eats fruit off the ground or low-lying bushes, as well as invertebrates, flower buds, tender leaves, seeds, and roots. The male incubates the eggs which may come from as many as four different females, and then will raise them until they are ready to be on their own, usually two to three weeks. The nest is located on the ground in dense brush or between raised root buttresses.

Range and habitat
They inhabit sub-tropical and tropical lowland forests at around 500 m or lower. They eat seeds, fruits and invertebrates.

Conservation
It is a relatively abundant species in its habitat and the main threat to it is deforestation. As of 2012 the status of the white-throated tinamou is Near Threatened, and it has a range occurrence of 4000000 km2. Its eggs are prized possessions to some collectors.
