Agnetha Fältskog (album)

Agnetha Fältskog is the debut studio album by Swedish pop singer and future ABBA member Agnetha Fältskog. It was released in Sweden in early 1968 through Cupol Records.

Album information
Fältskog had been singing with the local Swedish "dansband" Bengt Engharts in Jönköping for quite a while when the group decided to send a tape of demos to Cupol Records in autumn of 1967. Singer, producer and A & R man Little Gerhard (né Karl-Gerhard Lundqvist) listened to the tape which included Fältskog's song "Jag var så kär". Lundqvist was so impressed with the song and Fältskog's voice that he called her at the car firm where she was working at the time and offered her a recording contract, only as a solo singer, without the band. Eventually, Fältskog's first recording session took place on 16 October 1967, at Philips Studio in Stockholm. This recording session produced four songs, which would all end up on her first album: "Jag var så kär" and "Utan dej mitt liv går vidare" (both composed by Agnetha herself) as well as "Följ med mig" and "Slutet gott, allting gott". "Jag var så kär" and "Följ med mig" were eventually released as Fältskog's debut single (CUPOL CS 45-211) in November 1967, the latter up-tempo track being its A-side. But it was Fältskog's self-penned tear-jerker "Jag var så kär" which became her first entry and also number three on the all-important radio chart Svensktoppen in January 1968. After this success and with selling more than 80,000 copies, the single topped Sweden's official sales chart at that time, Kvällstoppen. After the following success of the tracks "Utan dej mitt liv går vidare", "Allting har förändrat sig", "Den jag väntat på" and "Snövit och de sju dvärgarna", most of them composed by Fältskog herself, Cupol released her debut album in the spring of 1968, containing all tracks previously issued on these singles as well as a few new recordings.

She wrote "Försonade" and submitted it to Melodifestivalen (Swedish Eurovision heat) for singer Gunnar Wiklund, but it was rejected. The song could also be heard in the film Låt den rätte komma in (Let the Right One In) in the scene where Eli plays it on a tape recorder for Oskar.

The album has since been re-issued both on CD and iTunes.

Singles
Out of the 12 tracks recorded for Agnetha Fältskog's debut studio album, a total of ten songs were released as either single a-side or b-side in 1967 and 1968. Only two of them charted on the official Swedish sales chart at that time, Kvällstoppen. Also included in the following list is Agnetha's duet single with Jörgen Edman, which was released in 1968 but did not appear on the original album.

Svensktoppen
Throughout her pre-ABBA solo career, Fältskog's success was mostly visible by looking at her entries in the famous Swedish Svensktoppen chart. This chart is not based on sales figures but compiled by a jury instead. A total of five songs of hers made that hitlist in 1968. It is interesting to mention that mostly her B-sides eventually made the Svensktoppen top 10.

Thamirabarani River

The Thamirabarani or Tamraparni or Porunai is a perennial river that originates from the Agastyarkoodam peak of Pothigai hills of the Western Ghats, above Papanasam in the Ambasamudram taluk. It flows through Tirunelveli and Thoothukudi districts of the Tamil Nadu state of southern India into the Gulf of Mannar. It was called the Tamraparni River in the pre-classical period, a name it lent to the island of Sri Lanka. The old Tamil name of the river is Porunai. From the source to sea, the river is about 128 km long and is the only perennial river in Tamil Nadu. This river flows towards north direction initially. However, it changes to east direction later.

Etymology
From the Tamilakam era, the area of the Tamraparni river, in Tirunelveli, Tamil Nadu, has had changes in its name, from the original Tan Porunai river to Tamira Porunai, from Tamraparni to Tambraparni and now called "Thamirabarani River". A meaning for the term following its derivation became "copper-colored leaf", from the words Thamiram (copper/red) in Tamil/Sanskrit and parani meaning leaf/tree, translating to "river of red leaves". According to the Tamraparni Mahatmyam, an ancient account of the river from its rise to its mouth, a string of red lotus flowers from sage Agastya at Pothigai hills transformed itself into a damsel at the sight of Lord Siva, forming the river and giving it its divine name. Other name derivations include the Pali term "Tambapanni", "Tamradvipa" of Sanskrit speakers and "Taprobana" of ancient Greek cartographers. Robert Knox reported from his 20 years of captivity on the island in the hills that "Tombrane is a name of the Sri Lankan Tamil people for God in Tamil, which they often repeated as they lifted up their hands and faces towards Heaven".

History
Its many name derivations of Tan Porunai include Tampraparani, Tamirabarni, Tamiravaruni. Tan Porunai nathi finds mention by classical Tamil poets in ancient Sangam Tamil literature Purananuru. Recognised as a holy river in Sanskrit literature Puranas, Mahabharata and Ramayana, the river was famed in the Early Pandyan Kingdom for its pearl and conch fisheries and trade. The movement of people, including the faithful, trade merchants and toddy tapers from Tamraparni river to northwestern Sri Lanka led to the shared appellation of the name for the closely connected region. One important historical document on the river is the treatise Tamraparni Mahatmyam. It has many ancient temples along its banks. A hamlet known as Appankoil is located on the northern side of the river.

In the Mahābhārata (3:88) the river is mentioned as "Listen, O son of Kunti, I shall now describe Tamraparni. In that asylum the gods had undergone penances impelled by the desire of obtaining salvation".

A Miami-based Beta Analytic Testing Laboratory published a report on 2021 which claimed that the Tamirabharani civilization along the banks of the river dates back to 3,200 years.

Origin
The Thamirabarani River originates from the peak of the Pothigai hills on the eastern slopes of the Western Ghats at an elevation of 1725 m above sea-level. The river is joined by its headwater tributaries Peyar, Ullar, Pambar before it flows into the Karaiyar Dam reservoir, where it meets Karaiyar. The river forms the Paanatheertham waterfalls, 40 m high, as it enters the Kariyar reservoir. Servalar joins the Thamirabarani before it enters into the Papanasam lower reservoir, which was built for the Papanasam Hydroelectric station. The river descends down the mountains near Papanasam, where it forms the Kalyanatheertham falls and Agasthiar falls.

Course and tributaries
The river flows on the plains eastwards from Papanasam. The first tributary to join Thamirabarani in the plains is the Manimuthar River, which originating from Manjolai hills and joins Thamirabarani near Aladiyoor village. The towns Ambasamudram and Kallidaikurichi are located respectively on the left and right banks of Thamiraparani, after which the river meets the tributary Gadananathi River at Tiruppudaimaruthur. Before the Gadananathi's entry into the Thamirabarani, the Gadananathi River is joined by the rivers Kallar, Karunaiyar and Veeranathi or Varahanathi which joins the river Gadananathi about 1.5 km north-east of Kila Ambur.

The Gadananathi is fed by the Jambunathi and Ramanathi Rivers. The Pachaiyar River which originates from the Kalakkadu reserve forests at about 1300 m above sea level joins the Thamirabarani near Tharuvai village in Palayamkottai Taluk. The river bisects the twin cities Tirunelveli and Palayamkottai before meeting its major and affluent tributary Chithar (Chitranathi) which arises in the Kutralam hills and receives supply from the rivers Gundar, Hanumanathi and Karuppanathi(vairavangkulam kadayanallur) .The Chittar River runs almost parallel to Thamirabarani till it joins the main river near Sivalaperi. Thamirabarani passes through the taluks of Tirunelveli and Palayamkottai of Tirunelveli district and Srivaikundam and Tiruchendur taluks of Thoothukkudi district.

 * List of major tributaries

Drain
The river drains into Gulf of Mannar near Punnaikayal in Tiruchendur taluk of Tuticorin district. The river drains with its tributaries an area of about 4400 km2. As most of its extensive catchment areas lie in the Western Ghats, the river enjoys the full benefit of both the monsoons, which make the river perennial. Since all its tributaries are arising from the Western ghats, the river is prone to heavy floods especially during the northeast monsoon. In 1992, there was an unexpected flood in Thamirabarani, which claimed hundreds of lives as the dam water was let out so massively and suddenly that the river and its channels could not bear the excess water inflow. It flooded again in 2015 with water entering the Kurukuthurai Murugan Temple.

Irrigation
The many anicuts, dams and reservoirs on the Thamirabarani river, along with those on the Manimuthar River, provide a large proportion of the water for irrigation and power generation for Tirunelveli district. It is fed by both the monsoons – the south west and the north-eastern and is seen in full spate twice a year if the monsoons do not fail. The Gadananathi River has 6 anicuts and a reservoir of 9970000 m3, and irrigates 38.87 km2 of wetlands. The Ramanadhi has 7 anicuts, a reservoir of 4300000 m3, and irrigates 20.23 km2 of wetlands. Pachaiyar River has 12 anicuts and irrigates 61.51 km2 of wet and dry lands.

The important irrigation channels branching off from both the banks of the river Thamirabarani are, South Kodaimelalagian channel, North Kodaimelalagian channel (Kodaimelalagian anicut), Nathiyunni channel (Nathiyunni anicut), Kannadian channel (Kannadian anicut), Kodagan channel (Ariyanayagipuram anicut), Palayam (Palavur anicut) channel, Tirunelveli channel (Suthamalli anicut), Marudur Melakkal, Marudur Keelakkal (Marudur anicut), South Main Channel and North Main Channel (Srivaikundam anicut). Of these the first seven anicuts were constructed during the period of ancient and medieval rulers and the last anicut namely the Srivaikundam anaicut was constructed and completed by the British in 1869.

List of dams across Thamirabarani river:

 * 1) Kodaimelaalagain anicut, 1281.67 ha
 * 2) Nathiyunni anicut, 1049.37 ha
 * 3) Kannadian anicut, 2266.69 ha
 * 4) Ariyanayagipuram anicut, 4767.30 ha
 * 5) Palavur anicut, 3557.26 ha
 * 6) Suthamalli anicut, 2559.69 ha
 * 7) Marudur anicut, 7175.64 ha

List of channels:

 * 1) South Kodaimelalagain channel
 * 2) North Kodaimelalagain channel
 * 3) Nathiyunni channel
 * 4) Kannadian channel
 * 5) Kodagan channel
 * 6) Palayam channel
 * 7) Tirunelveli channel
 * 8) Marudur Melakkal

Pollution and exploitation

 * Mixing of sewage, paper mill and industrial effluents, dumping etc. into the river is a worrying aspect.
 * Sand mining in this river was banned in 2010 but it still continues illegally.
 * Illegal encroachments of its banks is also a growing concern.
 * Pepsi and other Cola companies bottling facility plants were thought to be exploiting the river water, however a court ruling in April 2018 dismissed the allegations and allowed the companies to extract excess water as per the original agreements they have signed.
 * Many industries have come in the banks of the river in and around Srivaikuntam that injudicially use the river water and discharge untreated sewer.
 * Untreated sewer of towns like Ambasamudram, Tirunelveli, Papanasam etc. also reduce the water quality downstream.
 * Religious practices like letting your clothes along the river at Papanasam as an act to wash sins after a bath has also clogged up the river..
 * After the Sorimuthu Aiyanar Temple yearly festival upstream in the forests near Karayar dam the bacteria level in the river increases as thousands and thousands of people bathe at one go.

Katherine (film)

Katherine (also known as The Radical) is a 1975 American TV movie written and directed by Jeremy Kagan, and starring Sissy Spacek, Art Carney and Henry Winkler. Intended to portray the time period of the Vietnam War, the title character was loosely based on Diana Oughton of the Weather Underground, who died in the 1970 Greenwich Village townhouse explosion when a bomb she was building accidentally exploded. Reviewers have also noted that Katherine also "borrowed from the then-current headlines involving Patty Hearst, another heiress whose exact level of voluntary involvement with the Symbionese Liberation Army remained hazy in 1975.

Through a series of flashbacks, the film, told in semi-documentary fashion, retraces the main characters' lives through the years 1964–1972.

Katherine originally aired in a two-hour time slot on October 5, 1975, and later was syndicated in a 78-minute version.

His career began on Broadway where he starred in Yentl, subsequently winning his first major award, the 1975 Theatre World Award. Shortly after his Off-Broadway career began, Lee Strasberg invited Shea to join the Actors Studio where he spent several years studying method acting.

He made his television film debut in The Nativity (1978), alongside Madeleine Stowe. Billed alongside Helen Mirren, he starred in the noir film Hussy (1980) and the Academy Award-winning drama Missing (1982).

His breakthrough came when he was cast as Lex Luthor in the 1990s TV series Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, subsequently being cast as Adam Kane in the 2000s Mutant X series. Shea's public profile increased in 2012 after his five-year role as Harold Waldorf, Blair Waldorf's father on Gossip Girl.

In 2014, Shea announced his directorial debut with Grey Lady, released in mid-2017.

Early life
Shea was born in North Conway, New Hampshire, near where his father was teaching at Fryeburg Academy, Maine, and was raised in the Sixteen Acres area of Springfield, Massachusetts, with four siblings.

Since his Broadway debut in the mid 1970s, Shea has continued to work in Off-Broadway and Broadway theatre productions, starring in Arthur Kopit's End of the World starring with Linda Hunt and Barnard Hughes. In 1977, during his first trip to Los Angeles to get experience in front of a camera, he played guest roles in such TV series as Eight Is Enough and Man from Atlantis, and co-starred in The Last Convertible, a miniseries for Universal.

Early career: 1978–1982
He made his television film debut as Joseph in The Nativity (1978) opposite Madeleine Stowe as Mary, a biblical epic shot in Spain. His feature film debut came in Matthew Chapman's English film noir Hussy (1980), opposite Helen Mirren. His American film debut was in Constantin Costa-Gavras's Academy Award-winning Missing (1982), which starred Jack Lemmon and Sissy Spacek. The film, shot on locations in Mexico, also won the Palme d'Or at the 1982 Cannes Film Festival and helped launch Shea's international acting career.

"This villain is written as a human being, and not just a one dimensional comic villain or a two dimensional comic villain, the way he might have been portrayed in the comic books or even other films. I thought Gene Hackman was brilliant, but it was a different kind of comic villain."

His starring run of the series ended on an enjoyable note for Shea; the series finale includes a virtual reality sequence in which Luthor flies over Metropolis in a modified Superman costume. Shea recalled, "One day I read the script and I thought, 'Oh my God! I'm really going to get to do this?' And they said yes. You're going to get to fly. ... They just took me out on this boom and they flew me back and forth across the green screen. And they had wind machines blowing and smoke machines, and, oh my God, I felt like I was reborn." After leaving Lois & Clark, Shea starred in a new X-Men inspired series, Mutant X, where he was cast as Adam Kane. The show aired for three seasons before being cancelled.

Mainstream success: 2005–2012
In 2005 he was cast as Trevor Lipton in Law & Order: Criminal Intent.

When casting for Gossip Girl began in 2007, Shea was asked to join the recurring cast as Harold Waldorf, Blair Waldorf's father. His portrayal of the character garnered him increased name recognition among millennials and contributed to his presence in American meme and popular culture. He was cast in Scott Dacko's 2006 political thriller The Insurgents with Mary Stuart Masterson.

Later in 2009 he was cast as Cary Ago's father, Jeffery, a recurring character on The Good Wife. He made his debut into Indian cinema with the 2009 Tamil drama Achchamundu!

Talk:Węgrzynowice

moved from main, to translate and a possible copyvio

Dwór w Węgrzynowicach leży na zachód od Rawy Mazowieckiej w okolicach Koluszek. Powstał w połowie XVIII wieku w stylu późnobarokowym na miejscu starszego dworu, w którym spędził dzieciństwo słynny nasz pamiętnikarz Jan Chryzostom Pasek. Na przełomie XVIII i XIX wieku dobra należały do rodziny Kamockich herbu Jelita. Sądzę że pierwszym z rodu Kamockich dziedzicem na Węgrzynowicach był Stanisław Kamocki- Szambelan Króla Stanisława Augusta. Z żony swej Tekli Paklerskiej pozostawił liczne potomstwo; Salomeę, Benignę, Józefę i Emilię oraz synów Ignacego i Aleksandra. Z nich jedynie Ignacy odziedziczył Węgrzynowice. Gospodarował na tym majątku przez całe swoje życie, tam też zmarł w 1844 roku. Ożeniony był z Pauliną Kurzewską, z którą miał trzy córki: Eleonorę Boską, Lucynę Grodzińską i Marię Paradowską. Nie chciał by jego ukochane Węgrzynowice po jego śmierci przeszły w ręce innego rodu, dlatego też zapisał majątek nie córkom lecz swemu bratankowi Stanisławowi Kamockiemu. Ignacy jednak nie mógł przewidzieć, że jego bratanek również nie będzie mieć syna. Stanisław Kamocki bowiem miał z żoną swą Teresą Bartoszewicką tylko dwie córki: Irenę i Marię. Stanisław był dobrym gospodarzem, dbał o majątek, a obok Węgrzynowic posiadał jeszcze Trzepnicę gdzie zmarł w 1902 roku. Dziś dwór użytkowany jest przez młodzież szkolną podczas wakacji. Sprzyja temu znakomite ze względów rekreacyjnych położenie budynku na wzgórzu. Dodatkową atrakcją są resztki urokliwego parku dworskiego. Dwór jest w niezłym stanie; był nie dawno remontowany i z pewnością przetrwa jeszcze wiele dziesięcioleci, służąc kolejnym pokoleniom Polaków.

The temple is located at Chottanikkara, a southern suburb of the city of Kochi in Ernakulam district, in the state of Kerala, India and is one of the most popular temples in the state. The temple is also known for conducting exorcism.

In terms of temple architecture, the Chottanikkara temple stands out to be an ultimate testimonial to the ancient (wooden sculpture) along with Sabarimala temple. Sree Mahamaya Bhagavati is one of the most popular deities in Kerala and the supreme mother goddess in Hinduism. Chottanikkara Devi (Melekavu Bhagavathi) is worshipped at the temple, in three different forms: as Mahasaraswati in the morning, draped in white; Mahalakshmi in noon, draped in crimson; and as Mahakali in the evening, decked in blue. Devotees chant "Amme Narayana, Devi Narayana, Lakshmi Narayana, Bhadre Narayana" in this temple. Goddess 'Keezhkkaavu bhagavathi' is believed to be Bhadrakali, in her fierce form or Ugra form. People suffering from mental illnesses and commonly visit the temple, as Chottanikkara Devi is said to cure her devotees. Guruthi pooja is a ritual done in the late evening to invoke the goddess Mahakali. Earlier 'Guruthi Pooja' was done only on Fridays. But nowadays, it is performed every day.

Legend
The area in which the temple is situated was once a dense jungle. A tribesman named Kannappan used to live in this forest. He was a devout worshipper of the goddess Mahakali, and would ritually sacrifice a buffalo to her every Friday (the day of the Goddess). One day, he found a calf near the forest. He kidnapped the calf and took her to his stone altar. Just before he is about to sacrifice the calf, his daughter Pavizham stepped in and pleaded to him to stop the sacrifice. The man loved his daughter and thus let her keep the calf as a pet. Unfortunately, Pavizham died some days later, possibly due to a snake bite. Kannappan broke into tears and decided to cremate her body. To his surprise, his daughter's corpse disappeared. A nearby priest told him the reason for such an occurrence; Kannappan used to forcibly take young calves from their mothers and sacrificed them. As punishment, he met the same fate when his daughter died. When the tribesman looked for the calf, he found the sacrifice alter shining  in its place. The priest explained that the calf represented the divine couple, Lord Vishnu and Lakshmi. He asked Kannapan to pray before the alter everyday to undo his sins.

Since Kannappan's death, the stones were forgotten. The stone was rediscovered accidentally by a low caste grass cutter, who found that blood was oozing out of a stone which she had accidentally cut. Horrified at what she saw, she brought the matter to the public's attention. A nearby priest was called to solve the problem. After devaprasnam, it was concluded that the stone was divine. That day, the elder Brahmin of the Yedattu house came along with some puffed rice in a coconut shell and this was offered to the Goddess for the first time. Even today this system of offering puffed rice in a coconut shell continues. The Brahmins of Yedattu house became the hereditary priests at this temple since those days.

Another legend associated to the temple is that of the spiritual leader Shankaracharya. During the time where he lived, Adi Shankara realised that there wasn't a single temple in Kerala that signified the worship of goddess Mahasaraswati. As a result, he himself went to the kashmir and meditated for many days for the goddess to appear before him. His meditation bore fruit and before him stood the stunningly beautiful goddess, clad in white. On enquiry, he said that he would like to bring the goddess to Kerala and establish a temple dedicated to her worship. This way the people from Kerala would not have to go such far off distances to worship her, as in the case for those who were old and aged. After a lot of persuasion, the goddess agreed; she would follow him by foot wherever he went, but only on one condition. If he trusts her, then he was not allowed to look back to see if she followed him or not. If he did, then wouldn't go any further. He agrees and they proceed walking. They were walking down the Kodachadri hills, with Shankara leading the way and goddess' anklets tinkling and letting him know that she was with him. After walking some distance, the tinkling stopped all of a sudden. Shankara waited a few moments and stole a quick look backwards to find the goddess still with him, watching him with reproach. In keeping with the condition, the goddess stopped right there. This is the spot which would turn out to be the Mookambika temple. Shankara, however, was not one to give up. He apologized profusely for breaking the condition and repeatedly begged and pleaded with the goddess to go with him to Kerala. After many pleas, the goddess agrees to a compromise and came to Chottanikara in Kerala, where the Chottanikara temple stood.

From early hours of morning, goddess would come and appear before the devotees at the Chottanikkara temple in the form of Goddess Mahasaraswati. Then in the afternoon, she would return to the Mookambika temple (spot where she stopped). Since then, the sanctum doors of the Chottanikkara temple were opened during early morning hours in honour of worshipping goddess Mahasaraswati before the doors of the main sanctum in Mookambika temple were opened.

Legend behind Keezhkavu
The idol at Keezhkavu didn't come until after the temple was built. Here is a legend that believed to be happened at least 3 or 4 centuries before. One night, a Brahmin by name Gupthan Namboodiri who was pursued by a disguised Yakshi (an evil spirit), while on a visit to meet his Guru Kosapilli Namboodiri who practiced occult sciences. It seems, the Yakshi took the form of a pretty maiden and tried to entice Gupthan. Since he was carrying a manuscript copy of Devi Mahatmyam, she was not able to do him any harm. However, Gupthan was attracted to her. Later when he reached Kosapilli Namboodiri's house, Gupthan narrated the incident to his guru and the guru deduced that the lady was a Yakshi. He then gave Gupthan Namboodiri an enchanted towel and rice to carry along on his return journey to protect himself from the Yakshi. When Gupthan saw the Yakshi following him he ran towards the Chottanikkara temple, on the way he threw the rice and swirled the towel at the Yakshi which slowed her and on reaching, jumped into the compound of the temple sanctum. The Yakshi who was pursuing him could only catch hold of his feet. When Gupthan cried out for help the mother Goddess Bhagavathy, she came out as Maha Kali and beheaded the Yakshi with her pallivaalu(divine Sword) and threw the yakshi's head into the temple tree base and then wash of the blood in the temple pond. That pond is known today as Yakshikulam or Rakthakulam, where the Kali idol was found merely a hundred years later by Vilwamangalam of Guruvayoor.

Makam Thozhal
The annual Chottanikkara Makam Thozhal is the major festival in Chottanikara temple. Tradition states that it was on this day (mithuna lagna on Makam) that the Vilvumangala Swamiyar saw the goddess at the temple and the devotees continue to worship the goddess at the temple into the present day.

On the Makam Thozhal day, the ritualistic bath of goddess in the morning at the sacred pond Calli Onakkuttichira far on the northern side of the temple. After that, the goddess is brought to the temple accompanied by Lord Sastha on the back of seven caparisoned elephants march towards the "Pooraparambu" the traditional vantage point where they remain till 11 a.m.

At the mid-day the door of Sanctum Sanctorum closes for Ucha pooja. And re-opens at 2 p.m for the "Makam Darsanam", the time at which Vilvumangala Swamiyar saw the goddess at the temple. At that time Devi who appears in her sacred full-fledged splendour and glory decked in her sacred gold ornaments, precious jewellery and innumerable garlands. This is exactly the form of vision which Villwamangalam Swamiyar was believed to have had when he faced westward after the "Prathishta" (installation) of Kizhukkavu Bhagavathy (Bhadrakali), Chottanikkara Devi appears at this moment clad in glittering clothes brilliant ornaments and fine jewellery with her four arms bearing varam, Abhayam, Shank and Chakram (Offering gift and refuge) to her ardent devotees. It is fervently believed that Darsanam at this moment will result in the fulfillment of all prayers and cherished desires. It is fervently believed that those who gain Darsanam at this crucial Mithuna Lagna, will be blessed with the fulfillment of their long standing desire and prayers.

Worship practices
The deity of Devi is believed to be a swayambu deity which means it's self- manifested and not sculpted. Hence the Devi's vigraham in this temple appears to be in 'rock' form which resembles a texture like rudraksha and now it's covered by a Bronze plate, which is sculpted with Devi's Roopam. There's another small black-coloured stone deity(shaligrama) found beside the Devi's vigraham which is believed to be a manifestation of Vishnu. Hence the presiding deity of the Rudraksha rock is believed to be Goddess Lakshmi.

The presiding deity is known by various names like Rajarajeswari, Mahalakshmi, Durga, Bhagavati, Aadi Parashakthi and Amman. Bhagavati is worshipped as Mahasaraswati in the morning, Mahalakshmi in the noon and Mahakali in the evening along with Lord Narayana.

There are sub-shrines for Lord Shiva, Lord Ganapathi, Lord Dharmasastha, Snake deities, Brahmarakshassu and Yakshi in this temple.

The temple is known for curing mental illness and disorders due to evil spirits. The patients are brought to the priest(melsanthi), who engages with them in some conversation. He nails a part of the hair of the patient in the temple tree, indicating that evil spirit is captured in the tree and the patients are cured off their illness. Neem leaves, lime and chillies are taken home from the temple, which are believed to ward off evil spirits.

Aso Villa

Aso Villa (officially Aso Rock Presidential Villa) is the workplace and official residence of the President of Nigeria since 1991, when Nigeria moved its capital from Lagos to Abuja. It is located at Yakubu Gowon Crescent, The Three Arms Zone, Asokoro, Abuja, FCT, Nigeria. Several names that are used for Aso Villa include: State House, The Rock and The Villa. The Aso Rock villa is the most protected presidential state house in Africa.

History
The palatial residence was completed in 1991, the same year the military junta of Ibrahim Babangida relocated the national capital from Lagos to Abuja. Aso Villa encompasses the 400 meter monolith Aso Rock, located within the Three Arms Zone of Abuja metropolis. In 1976, the Military Government of Murtala Mohammed took the decision to relocate the Federal Capital from Lagos and set up a committee under the leadership of Justice Akinola Aguda which recommended the creation of a Federal Capital Territory (FCT) in the center of the country and a proclamation to this effect was issued on 3 February 1976.

Akinola Aguda House (formally named on 1 October 1983) was originally conceived as a Presidential Lodge & Guest House Complex and hosted the first ever formal Cabinet Meeting held outside Lagos, only days after Abuja hosted Nigeria's Independence Anniversary celebrations for the first time, in October 1982. President Ibrahim Babangida, who took office in 1985, commenced construction of a new presidential residence in 1989 and in 1991 the Aso Rock Presidential Villa was completed and President Babangida became the first Head of State to occupy it, on 12 December 1991. Upon completion of the Aso Rock Presidential Villa, the Aguda House became the Vice Presidential Complex, and has remained so till date apart from the period between 1999 and 2007 when the Vice President lived in a Residence that has since been transferred to the Judiciary as Official Quarters of the Chief Justice of Nigeria.

In 2010, construction of a new Vice Presidential Residence commenced. The Residence has yet to be completed and the Buhari administration has said it is not a priority. Today the Presidential Complex, located in the Three Arms Zone of the Federal Capital Territory, consists of the Main Presidential Villa (Office and Residence of the President, and Offices of the Vice President and Wife of the President), the State House Conference Center, State House Annex, and the Akinola Aguda House. The old Presidential Lodge in Marina, Lagos, was handed over to the Lagos State Government in 2017.

The villa is currently under the protection of the Presidential Guard Brigade which perform ceremonial and protective duties for the president. The brigade performs public duties in a weekly changing of the guard ceremony outside the villa. The Villa is also protected by a squad of State Security Service Agents and a squadron of the Mobile Police Force assigned solely for the protection of the President, the Vice President and their respective families. Aso rock building cost 25B naira in 1989.

Frida (album)

Frida is the debut studio album by Swedish singer Anni-Frid Lyngstad, released in March 1971 by EMI Columbia. Recorded between September 1970 and January 1971, Frida was produced by her then-fiancé, Benny Andersson. Frida was her only album recorded for EMI during her contract, not counting her eponymous compilation album from 1972, before being signed to Polar and form with the Swedish pop group ABBA, a year later.

The album received positive receptions from critics, both retrospectively and at the time of the album's release, but did not chart, with the exception of her non-album single from the same year, Min Egen Stad, until Frida charted in Sweden, in April 2017 with a limited edition reissue, reaching No. 28 on Sverigetopplistan's album charts. Frida has since been reissued several times by EMI and Parlophone since the original issue of the album.

Recording session
The recording session of Frida took place at EMI Studios, Stockholm, now known as X-Level Studios, on 8 September 1970 and was completed on 15 January 1971. Claes Rosendahl and Bengt Palmers both directed the conduction of the orchestra for the respective tracks for Frida. Min Egen Stad was recorded on 12 July 1971 with Andersson, Björn Ulvaeus and Agnetha Fältskog on uncredited backing vocals, and was completed 11 days later. Lyngstad's cover version of The Beatles' "The Long and Winding Road" from the recording session of Frida remained unreleased, but was shared on YouTube in 2013.

Aftermath
By the time of the album's release, Lyngstad had been signed to EMI, for four years, since she won a song contest titled 'New Faces' and appeared on a Swedish television show, 'Hylands Hörna' (Hyland's Corner), in September 1967. Not long after the release of the album, in 1972, Lyngstad did not renew her contract with EMI, and was signed to Polar Music to record her first single for the independent Swedish record label, and eventually team up with Andersson, Ulvaeus, and Fältskog to form ABBA. As a result, it is the only album Lyngstad has recorded, under her contract with EMI, as she has made non-album singles between 1967 and 1972.

Reception and re-release
Upon its original release, Frida, as an album, did not chart, but the album received unanimously generous praise from the critics, who noted the precision and versatility of Lyngstad, as a vocalist. For example, Sweden's biggest morning paper Dagens Nyheter (Daily News) wrote: "Professional, sure and certain LP-debut... low key but self-sure personality with sprinkles of both temperament, humor and tenderness. And she sings in this way that you understand she's got something between her ears - she sings with others words in a very intelligent way"''. The album was also re-released the following year as she had her first No. 1 non-album single, "Min Egen Stad", in the Swedish weekly record chart, Svensktoppen on 24 October 1971, consequently adding this song as the opening track of side two of Frida''.

The Svensktoppen version of Frida, was given a second release in 1974 as a compilation under the name EMI:s Stjärnserie Vol. 7 (EMI's Star Series). Frida was out of print until EMI released a compilation album, Frida 1967–1972 in 1997, which includes all tracks from this album. As the reissue were met with positive receptions again, Critic Bruce Eder of AllMusic has described Lyngstad's vocals as "a distinctly expressive and pure instrument" with "Andersson's lean yet creative accompaniments", while noting that "one can begin to hear the attributes that would emerge on the early ABBA recordings." Frida was reissued as a limited edition 180-gram vinyl, pressed between 1500 and 3000 copies on 22 April 2017, under the label, Parlophone, who currently holds the rights to Lyngstad's recordings with EMI, coinciding the tenth anniversary of Record Store Day. Frida reached No. 28 on Sverigetopplistan's album charts, a few days after the reissue of this album.

Talk:Ian Punnett

Personal Life
Could we please refrain from using phrases like "Ian's zaniness was inspired..." and "His ratings went through the roof..." in the article. Reference links supporting these statements are not cited. It is doubtful that they exist at all. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pozzdonn (talk • contribs) 03:38, 18 September 2018 (UTC)

Ordained Minister
Shouldn't there be some mention of Ian being an ordained minister?
 * ✅ "Punnett has a Masters of Divinity degree from Columbia Theological Seminary in Atlanta, and has been ordained a Deacon in the Episcopal Church." -- OlEnglish (Talk) 05:45, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

First Name
Ian is not his first name... does anyone know?
 * It might be Case Ian Punnett but I don't know what the source of that is. -- OlEnglish (Talk) 05:56, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

Mention of Wikipedia
Punnett once mentioned Wikipedia on his show. A caller mentioned Wikipedia and Punnett said something like "the Wikipedia says something very strange about me." What this was, I have no idea. Theshibboleth 08:01, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

LOL! What happened was that I email him the Coast to Coast AM entry which described Ian as "bringing a very liberal viewpoint to the the show" which totaly gets Ian wrong. Ian is open minded but leans very conservative. I think his exact quote on the show was (talking to his wife) "wikipedia, I showed you that, it's that online encylopedia that totally got me wrong". The Coast to Coast Am entry has since been updated. --Schalicto 20:14, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I see. Well, if someone could incorporate the following email exchange into the article it would be appreciated.  That he considers himself not to be liberal is important, but I'm not sure how to source the statement, or if I wanted to cite the whole email in the article, how to get it to format correctly.

"It sure is funny. I'll have to save this for my left wing friends who get so mad at me.

God bless, Punnett

-Original Message- From: Josh Parker Sent: Wednesday, March 30, 2005 11:15 AM To: ian Subject: wikipedia

I was just reading over the Wikipedia entry for Coast to Coast Am and I thought I would bring this paragraph to your attention...

"Prior to George Noory becoming the weekday host of the show, the show was usually guest-hosted by either Ian Punnet or Barbara Simpson on weekends. As previously stated Barbara Simpson still occasionally guest-hosts although Hilly Rose is now far more commonly the guest-host when one is needed. Ian Punnet has left the show to become a religious Minister although he has come back a select few times to guest-host. Ian Punnet was known for often expressing a left-wing point of view on the show whereas Barbara Simpson was known for her right-wing point of view. This is in lieu of the fact that although the show is very rarely expressedly political, political undercurrents often purvey the show, especially in regards to conspiracy theories."

When I used to listen to you on Coast to Coast I would never have described you as "expressing a left-wing point of view". I just thought that was funny.

Josh Parker"

It's not really very witty to begin with, and it gets very tiresome after hearing it for the 200th time. Besides i would guess morbidly obese American redneck trash would taste better anyway. Landroo -- Appalled Canadian -- 01:02, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

wow, not a very good way to defend your point by attacking our neighbors, the USA. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.230.119.26 (talk) 06:47, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Lol, Ian's not trying to be offensive Landroo (like you seem to be trying to be, but I get you being upset. It's just not very tactful to be all out offensive to try to knock an un-offensive comment though). If you knew Ian, you'd get the humor in it, and if you e-mailed him, and told him you were genuinely offended, I'm sure he'd apologize. Jay (talk) 19:26, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Is it just me?
Does it seem that the subjects he "covers" while hosting do not really seem of the Coast to Coast AM type? I usually get bored of listening when he is hosting. And yes, despite him saying he is not politically liberal, he seems to have a lot of opinions, views and interests very similar to those on the left. Which, in my opinion, is partially why he is so boring. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.58.46.109 (talk) 17:41, August 29, 2007 (UTC)
 * Well IP's guests are less often of the obvious nutcase variety that GN so often has to interview. Compared to AB/GN, IP covers more intellectual topics, politics, finance and so on. Some may consider intellectual boring. Anyway describing him as Liberal would be fitting - depends on what that is in the US. OTOH if he hasn't been politically active (or has he?), why mention political orientation at all on wikipedia...?

I don't know where to find a source, but as "Ian Case" Punnett was the nighttime dj on WXLC-FM in Waukegan (top 40) for at least 3 years in the late 1980s, and a great one at that -- like a nicer version of John "Records" Landecker in his prime. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.222.54.211 (talk) 19:27, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Every source says date of death is December 21.

I think we should remove the picture.
For those of you who may not know, the man in the picture is Mordecai Vanunu. He is a tried and convicted traitor against the state of Israel. He even has his own Wikipedia article concerning his being tried, convicted, and imprisoned for nearly 18 years for betraying the Israeli people - sharing military secrets and the like. In any case, he is a controversial figure and detracts from this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.14.243.141 (talk) 04:10, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

Žygimantas

Žygimantas is a Lithuanian masculine given name. It is a two-stem name of Baltic origin consisting of the root žyg and man(t)-. The Lithuanian word žygis means a military march from one location to another, while the second part might stem from the word manta, meaning wealth, benefit or mantus, which means convenient, suitable. Thus, the meaning behind Žygimantas could be a man adapted to military marches or someone with a wealth of military campaigns.

Notable people with the name include:

 * Žygimantas II of Lithuania (1467–1548), King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania
 * Žygimantas Augustas (1520–1572), King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania
