Union of Federalists and Independent Republicans

The Union of Federalists and Independent Republicans (Union des fédéralistes et des Républicains Indépendants, UFERI) is a political party in Democratic Republic of the Congo. Since the actual electoral strength of the political parties in Congo is not known, the size of the party cannot be determined.

It was founded in August 1990 by former First State Commissioner Jean Nguza Karl-i-Bond, who led the party until he fell ill in May 1994. Gabriel Kyungu wa Kumwanza, then governor of Shaba region, was then named the president of the party, but a faction led by Karl-I-Bond's wife Wivine split from the organization, leaving Kyungu with the remainder of the party in Shaba region (now Katanga Province).

To the present day, most of the party's membership and leadership comes from the Katanga region, and the earlier days of the party's existence was filled with ethnopolitical battles between the predominantly-BaLunda UFERI and the predominantly-BaLuba of Karl-I-Bond's rival Kyungu Wa Kumwanza.

It, along with the UDPS and the PDSC, was part of the short-lived opposition-based Sacred Union in 1991, but was kicked out after Karl-I-Bond accepted the position of prime minister from Mobutu that year.

In 1998, Kyungu was given the ambassadorship of the DRC to Kenya by then-president Laurent Kabila; the Kenyan president's office was sent a letter of protest by UDPS against the appointment of Kyungu by Kabila due to Kyungu's usage of the UFERI's youth militia, JUFERI, in violence against the Kasai supporters of the UDPS during his time as governor.

It is known to support greater autonomy for Katanga, and to be a BaLunda-ethnocentric party that sought to drive out the Kasai minority from the Katanga region.

Heat gun

A heat gun is a device used to emit a stream of hot air, usually at temperatures between 100 and 550 C, with some hotter models running around 760 C, which can be held by hand. Heat guns usually have the form of an elongated body pointing at what is to be heated, with a handle fixed to it at right angles and a pistol grip trigger in the same pistol form factor as many other power tools.

Though it shares similarities to a hair dryer, it is not meant as a substitute for the latter, which safely spreads out the heat out across its nozzle to prevent scalp burning and has a limited temperature range, while heat guns have a concentrated element and nozzle, along with higher temperatures, which can easily scald the scalp or catch the hair on fire.

Construction
A heat gun comprises a source of heat, usually an electrically heated element or a propane/liquified petroleum gas, a mechanism to move the hot air such as an electric fan, unless gas pressure is sufficient; a nozzle to direct the air, which may be a simple tube pointing in one direction, or specially shaped for purposes such as concentrating the heat on a small area or thawing a pipe but not the wall behind; a housing to contain the components and keep the operator safe; a mechanism to switch it on and off and control the temperature such as a trigger; a handle; and a built-in or external stand if the gun is to be used hands-free. Gas-powered soldering irons sometimes have interchangeable hot air blower tips to produce a very narrow stream of hot air suitable for working with surface-mount devices and shrinking heat-shrink tubing.

Focused infrared heaters are also used for localised heating.

Usage
Heat guns are used in physics, materials science, chemistry, engineering, and other laboratory and workshop settings. Different types of heat gun operating at different temperatures and with different airflow can be used to strip paint, shrink heat shrink tubing, shrink film, and shrink wrap packaging, dry out damp wood, bend and weld plastic, soften adhesives, and thaw frozen pipes.

Heat guns, often called hot air guns or hot air stations for this application, are used in electronics to desolder and rework surface-mounted circuit board components. Heat guns are also used for functional testing of overheat protection devices, in order to safely simulate an overheat condition.

Household use of heat guns is common. Heat guns and lighter weight hair driers are sometimes used to remove paint splashes and wallpapers. Heat guns are also used to make plastics such as PVC piping pliable for the purposes of bending, to soften wax and adhesives such as that used in electronics, and to thaw out frozen copper pipes. There are also heat gun form factors friendly for food purposes such as melting hard candies, searing meats, or to start a charcoal fire or grill. Heat guns are sometimes used to upholster furniture and repair leather and vinyl goods.

For removing lead paint temperatures below 590 C are used to minimize vaporization.

Taxpayers League of Minnesota

The Taxpayers League of Minnesota is a conservative lobbying group dedicated to lowering taxes in Minnesota. Ted Lillie serves as the group's president. Prior to that, Darrell McKigney, Linda Runbeck, David Strom, and Phil Krinkie have served as Presidents of the Taxpayers League.

The Taxpayers League was founded in 1997 by Mike Wigley. It is primarily funded through large donations by individuals and corporation, providing weekly email updates and maintaining contact with legislators. Its representatives have made appearances on At Issue and Almanac.

The Taxpayers League has offered up a "Friend of the Taxpayers" award to legislators. Previous winners of the award include Gil Gutknecht and Bruce Anderson. In 2004, after the death of former-President Ronald Reagan, the League proposed renaming Minnesota State Highway 55 after the conservative icon; the plan was met with resistance and abandoned.

The Taxpayers League sued State of Minnesota officials after a Minnesota campaign finance law was struck down as unconstitutional in 2010. Under the revised law, the League said they would be unfairly penalized if they used their general funds to contribute to Republican candidates Paul Gazelka and Tom Emmer.

In 2012, the Taxpayers League of Minnesota conducted a poll that found that the majority of respondents opposed building a new stadium for the Vikings.

Tomas Žvirgždauskas

Tomas Žvirgždauskas (born 18 March 1975) is a Lithuanian former professional footballer who played as a defender.

Career
His career started in Žalgiris, where he won the Lithuanian league title twice. In 1995, he moved to Danish team, Naestved, but only played a few games before moving back to Žalgiris the following year. His return to Lithuania was short, as he moved yet again shortly thereafter to Polish Ekstraklasa outfit Polonia Warsaw in January 1997, where he won the title. He later played a short period for Widzew Łódź, then going on a trial at the Israeli club, Hapoel Be'er Sheva, but failed to get a contract. In September 2002, he signed a contract with the Swedish club, Halmstads. Žvirgždauskas formed along with Tommy Jönsson a long lasting central defence at Halmstad, lasting until 2009 as Johnny Lundberg arrived at the club, he then created a defence with Lundberg, taking over Jönssons position on the left of the central part of the defence. As Lundberg suffered a severe injury in 2011, Žvirgždauskas had to pair up with rising talent Richard Magyar. Prior to the 2012 season Halmstads announced that they would not renew Žvirgždauskas' contract and he would leave the club, he had then played 307 matches for Halmstads.

In 2006, he received a one-month ban after assaulting IK Brage forward, Mats Theander, in a friendly match.

International career
Žvirgždauskas started his national career for Lithuania in 1998 with a friendly against Azerbaijan. Eventually becoming a starting player in the national team until his retiring in 2008. He however returned to the national team in 2011 for a friendly against Poland and was an unused substitute in the UEFA Euro 2012 qualifying match against Spain at home.

Žvirgždauskas made 56 appearances for Lithuania senior national team.

Personal life
He lives with his wife, Aorsra, and their two children, Patricia and Jostas. His father died in 1993 due to a heart attack.

In his youth, he played basketball. While his father wanted him to be a boxer, he stopped when his mother, a doctor, forbade him, due to her fear of seeing him get hurt.

In every league he has played he has used nicknames rather than his own last name due to pronunciation difficulties, in Lithuania he was called Žvirgždas, in Poland Zvirac and in Sweden Zvirre.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called The doors. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name The doors~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 03:19, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion, guidelines for use at WP:MINOR). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to  in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and all users will still be able to manually mark their edits as being minor in the usual way.

For well-established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 20:59, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Jean-Baptiste-Antoine Ferland

Jean-Baptiste-Antoine Ferland (25 December 1805 in Montreal – 11 January 1865 in Quebec City) was a French Canadian historian.

Life
He studied at the college of Nicolet and was ordained 1828. He ministered to country parishes until 1841, when he was made director of studies in the college of Nicolet. He became its superior in 1848. Being named a member of the council of the Bishop of Quebec, he took up his residence in that city, where he was also chaplain to the English garrison. From his college days he had devoted himself to the study of Canadian history; the numerous notes which he collected had made him one of the most learned men of the country. It was not, however, until he had reached the age of forty that he thought of writing a history of Canada. In 1853 he published his Observations sur l' histoire ecclésiastique du Canada, a refutation and criticism of the work of the Abbé Brasseur de Bourburg; it was reprinted in France in 1854. In the latter year he published Notes sur les régistres de Notre Dame de Québec, a second edition of which, revised and augmented appeared in the Foyer Canadien for 1863. In 1855 he was appointed professor of Canadian history at the Université Laval (Sainte-Foy, Quebec), and went at once to France to collect new documents to perfect him in his work. He returned in 1857, bringing with him valuable notes. The public courses which he delivered from 1858 to 1862 attracted large audiences.

Works
His lectures, printed as Cours d' Histoire du Canada, established Ferland's reputation. The first volume appeared in 1861; the second was not published until after the author's death in 1865. This work, written in a style at once simple and exact, is considered authoritative by competent judges. It is, however, incomplete, ending as it does with the conquest of Canada by the English (1759). Ferland aimed above all at establishing the facts of history. He desired also to make known the work of the Catholic missions.

Ferland also published in the Soirées Canadiennes of 1863 the Journal d'un voyage sur les côtes de la Gaspésie, and in Littérature Canadienne for 1863 an Etude sur le Labrador, which had previously appeared in the Annales de l'Association pour la Propagation de la Foi. For the Foyer Canadien of 1863 he wrote a Vie de Mgr Plessis, Bishop of Quebec, translated later into English.

Talk:Major

Shorten golf majors?
In the article, the entry for golf major currently reads:

 * A major in golf is one of the four or five most important yearly tournaments. In the United States, the PGA TOUR and LPGA tour have four majors, while the Champions Tour for golfers 50 and over has five. All other top-level men's tours worldwide recognize the same four majors as the PGA TOUR. The LPGA Tour for women also has four majors.

I suggest that this is too much explanation of details for a disambiguation page. I feel the disambiguation page should only contain info useful for directing your request, not info about the topic. Differentiating ideas, not trivia. In that spirit, i would edit thusly:

 * A major in golf is one of the set of most important yearly tournaments. In the United States, the PGA Tour, the LPGA tour and the Champions Tour have their own set of majors.

I feel this helps the reader because it suggests that if you've heard the word major as well as any of those other words near it, this is your link. However, it doesn't tell us the number, location, or the offical rules surrounding them. If we want to know this, we simply click on the link for Majors, or any of the particular golfing leagues. More concise, i feel.

Please comment. – Fudoreaper 09:44, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Yes, shorter is better, less to maintain. In fact, I prefer not to have links in the text except for the one actually being disambiguated, they don't really serve any purpose, but it's almost impossible to keep mindless link-adders from putting them back if you de-link. Stan 12:23, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Interesting you talk about additional links their foolish purpose. see  - a dab page i edited a bit, but was cleaned up to wikipedia style.  Perhaps this page should be changed to follow that format. — Fudoreaper 19:50, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Shorter, but not accurate. The men's majors are not endorsed solely by the PGA Tour and they aren't all in the States. Scranchuse 03:43, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Major golf and tennis tournaments
Is this page correct about golf? For example, is it correct to say "Woods expects to play all four major championships ..." rather than "... to play all four major tournaments ..."? --P64 (talk) 22:50, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

Major is about a military rank.

What redirects to Major (disambiguation)''' --this page? This is a complete list except three that incorporate "sport(s)".
 * Majors, The majors, The Majors , The Majors (disambiguation)
 * Major championships, Major championships (disambiguation)

first draft --P64 (talk) 22:50, 14 May 2012 (UTC) update --P64 (talk) 16:46, 6 June 2012 (UTC) expand, consolidate, renumber under bold title "Major" in sports --P64 (talk) 19:59, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

Latest revisions -05-26 an -06-02
What do these two sessions by one editor comprehend? Compare versions is almost useless ... here is what I can make of "compare versions" using two windows: (That numbering isn't what I hoped.)
 * 1) group the first seven entries as "Other" and relegates them to the bottom (6);
 * 2) relegate heading "Sport" to the bottom (5);
 * 3) group some sporting entries as subheading "Other sports" and relegate them to the bottom of heading "Sports" (5.3)
 * 4) group others under Tennis, to the bottom (5.2)
 * 5) group others under Golf (5.1)
 * 6) add many golf listings
 * 7) subdivide golf listings men (5.1.1) and women (5.1.2)
 * 8) cut a lot of sporting talk
 * 9) dislocate the TOContents

What of it? The first and last are unwelcome. Much of the middle ("Sport") is welcome but the addition of golf listings is not --instead we should have a list of major golf tournaments that includes all the historical "majors"; formal subheadings for Men and Women in golf may be overkill. --P64 (talk) 19:33, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

Major and Majors
Majors needs disambiguation, not redirect to Grand slam (tennis). Last month I hinted so in grand slam talk but I haven't yet started and will not this weekend. but I did nothing except re-target here --that is, Majors now redirects here.

Should Major and Majors disambiguate together --with a separate main article for Major and Majors surnames, if warranted? --P64 (talk) 19:33, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Currently we do disambiguate both here, including both surnames in section People.
 * I classified the redirect with R from plural and R from alternative name, unsure about the latter.
 * --P64 (talk) 23:13, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

Ursa Major, ursa minor
These names of the stellar constellations also known as Big Dipper (Ursa Major) and Little Dipper will be familiar to many readers. I don't know how to fit it in but note that I visited because I was surprised to see maior not major in the preface as Latin, so that may be the place for it. --P64 (talk) 21:26, 6 June 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation of minor and major
See Talk: Minor which may suggest improvements here. It's out of date because I revised both pages next day, but the most visible changes (which the discussion concerns) are there to make the arrangement of disambig Minor more like this one.

Here I changed the nature and location of Wiktionary links and location of the Contents box, along with substantial revisions. Yet the table of contents remains as I illustrated in that linked Talk. --P64 (talk) 23:13, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

What to include in this article
I'm looking at this list, which should be things that reasonable readers would look up the term Major, to find something that is often called simply "Major" or "Majors." There's a bit of trivial bloat here, and perhaps things that should not be.

Disambiguation tells us:
 * this is not a search index.
 * Do not add a link that merely contains part of the page title.
 * We reasonably expect to see Abraham Lincoln at Lincoln (disambiguation), but very few sources would refer to the waltz composer Harry J. Lincoln by an unqualified "Lincoln".

Then I see someone add under people, Klaus Heuser (born 1957), German rock guitarist and producer. This guy has a nickname of Major and it is almost always used as a first name or Major Heuser. He is not universally known as "Major" and should not be on this list as far as I can tell.

In looking I can see no reason why another entry should be here...Matt Sanchez (born 1970), American journalist and former porn star, known in the latter field by the stage name "Rod Majors". These are not search indexes for everyone with a first or last name of Major or Majors. This is to help readers find very specific articles that would likely be called only "Major/Majors". I think this should be fixed. I didn't take it to a full RfC because I wanted to gauge others thoughts first. I was talking about this with a fellow editor on my talk page, but wasn't really satisfied. Thoughts? Fyunck(click) (talk) 07:16, 30 November 2018 (UTC)

 * The reference "Der "Major" rockt wieder - Ex-BAP-Gitarrist in Brühl"  in Klaus Heuser seems to justify having a redirect Major (German musician) (or perhaps The Major (German musician)), and an entry in the dab page for that name. If you disagree, then WP:RfD would be the place to discuss.  I've tidied up about Matt Sanchez/Rod Majors, adding him to the Major (surname) page and clarifying that it includes the surname "Majors" as it already has several of that name listed.  Looking at Marshall Taylor I wonder if that page ought to be moved to Major Taylor, as it's the name used in most of the sources (and eg "Major Taylor Association" etc.) Probably doesn't really belong on this page but on Major (given name), though perhaps that page would need to be clarified to say whether or  not it includes nicknames. Gets more complicated the further you look!  Pam  D  10:58, 30 November 2018 (UTC)
 * I've had a go at cleaning up the page per MOS:DAB and WP:LONGDAB, cutting out a few entries not known simply as Major (etc.). Pam, I have move the 3 nicknames to the given name page - do you think it's ok? Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 13:59, 30 November 2018 (UTC)
 * I think that "mononyms" go on the main dab page, so have replaced the two musicians. Not sure about removing all the military ranks, though I suppose they are clearly listed in Major, so that no-one would come to the dab page because they'd have found them there first. Will be interesting to see whether they reappear at some point! Pam  D  14:22, 30 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Two things. 1) Why should we be using a non-exact link to an article? I'm not familiar with the mononym requirement for dab pages when at all other times we are supposed to be linking to the exact page name. 2) Klaus Heuser is pretty much an example by Disambiguation of what not to include here. He is rarely called simply "Major" by sourcing, and even those are usually because he uses it as a first name. He is covered under the Major (given name), including people with the nickname section. Fyunck(click) (talk) 18:56, 30 November 2018 (UTC)
 * "rarely" but not "never": if the name is used for him, then it gets a redirect or, if the name isn't unique, a dab page entry. Perhaps the dab page entry should be unlinked with the real name linked later in the entry, but if he's sometimes known as "Major" or "The Major" (and we have a ref which is evidence for this), then he gets an entry in the dab page, as I understand things. Pam  D  19:07, 30 November 2018 (UTC)
 * If you don't think the redirect from Major (German musician) should exist then take it to WP:RfD. If it exists, then there should be an entry for him on this dab page. Pam  D  19:19, 30 November 2018 (UTC)
 * That is absolutely against Disambiguation. We do not include every single instance of something on a dab page. Did you read what I quoted above? Fyunck(click) (talk) 19:39, 30 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Take it easy – you asked for thoughts from other editors, and you got some. Opinions often differ and interpretations of guidance are often different. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 08:23, 1 December 2018 (UTC)
 * And I do want input. However per Disambiguation, just because something exists doesn't make it dab worthy. It might be by consensus but it is not automatic. Another thing we have been told by consensus and administrators (especially when making "good" articles, is that "IF" it is included, the link should be directly to the article name... not to a redirect. It can show "Major (German musician)" but it should always link to "Klaus Heuser", not to the redirect. Fyunck(click) (talk) 10:41, 1 December 2018 (UTC)

Carnival in Colombia

The carnival in Colombia was introduced by the Spaniards. The Colombian carnival has incorporated elements from European culture, and has managed to syncretise, or re-interpret, traditions that belonged to the African and Amerindian cultures of Colombia. There is documentary evidence that the carnival existed in Colombia in the 17th century and had already caused concern to the colonial authorities, who censored the celebrations, especially in the main centers of power such as Cartagena, Bogotá and Popayán. The carnival, therefore, continued its evolution and re-interpretation in the small and at that time unimportant towns where celebrations did not offend the ruling elites. The result was the uninterrupted celebration of carnival festivals in Barranquilla (Barranquilla's Carnival), and other villages along the lower Magdalena River in northern Colombia, and in Pasto, Nariño (Blacks and Whites' Carnival) in the south of the country. In modern times, there have been attempts to introduce the carnival in the capital, Bogotá, in the early 20th century, but it has always failed to gain the approval of authorities. The Bogotá Carnival has had to wait until the 21st century to be resurrected, this time, by the authorities of the city. Colombia is recognized by its large variety of festivals, carnivals and fairs. Most towns have their own, ranging from those celebrating coffee (and almost every single agricultural produce) to the ones held in honor of the town's Saint feast. The common characteristics of the festivals are the nomination of a beauty Queen and the setting up of public dance floor.

Carnival in Southern Colombia
A very important and traditional carnival is the Blacks and Whites' Carnival in the city of Pasto, Nariño. It is one of the most ancient carnivals in the Americas. It commemorates the day in which the African slaves had a free day when they unleashed all their happiness.

Some historians refer that in 1607, there was a slave rebellion in the town of Remedios, Antioquia that made the authorities panic. The event was remembered by the black population of Popayán, Cauca, who demanded a day off, in which they were really free. The King of Spain conceded January 5. It is said that when the news reached home the African population flocked to the streets and danced at the rhythm of African music and started to blacken with coal all the white walls of the city.

The enthusiastic celebration was brought to Pasto by the Ayerbe family around 1854. By 1887, the celebration had reached to certain social spheres and acquired a high level of refinement, and people started using costumes and masks. The Castaneda family recreated by the January 4 crewes could be a characterization of the Ayerbe Family.

Carnival in Central Colombia
Bogotá was one of the first cities in the continent in celebrating its own carnival and that in 1539, just one year after the Hispanic foundation of the city the Spanish Crown decreed the celebrations will be carried out in Lent with the name of Carnestolendas of Santafé de Bogotá. In 1561 the Indian chief of Ubaque was allowed to participate celebrating the parties of his own culture (Muisca) which were part of the celebrations until the 19th century.

The carnival returned to the capital of Colombia in modern times. The celebration of the first Carnival in Bogotá dates back to 1916 and it started as a Student Carnival for which a congeniality queen was elected. The first queen of Bogotá's student carnival was Elvira Zea. After winning the contest she used her own real name as Queen's name, in that occasion she took the name Elvira I. The queen was the person in charge of opening the celebrations. In the following years the carnival grew in number of comparsas (krewes) and beauty queens. During the 1930s the national government and the council of Bogotá suspended the carnival due to disorders caused by alcohol consumption. An attempt to revive the carnival in 1960 failed again for reasons of alcohol abuse and violence.

The Carnival was resurrected by the Mayor of Bogotá in a Government Resolution on April 14, 2005. The objective of the new Carnival was to promote a collective atmosphere of fellowship and to celebrate life, creative expression, and enjoyment. It further aimed to generate a feeling of belonging to the city, to enforce processes of reconciliation and fair play, and the inclusion and recognition of all districts and cultures of the Capital City of  Colombia.

Thornton Gap

Thornton Gap is a wind gap located in the Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia separating the Shenandoah Valley from the Piedmont region of the state.

History
Thornton Gap was named for Francis Thornton (1711–April 14, 1749), owner of the land to the east and the "F.T. Valley". In 1740, he built a mansion in the Piedmont region near Nethers in Rappahannock County.

Historian J. Houston Harrison indicates in 1737 the Harrison family migrated through the Gap from Alexandria before their settlement in the valley and founding of Harrisonburg.

The privately owned Thornton's Gap Turnpike Company was formed to build a road over the mountains at Thornton's Gap. The toll road opened in 1806. Thornton Gap was one of the passages through the Blue Ridge Mountains between the Shenandoah Valley and the Piedmont region of Virginia used by Confederate General Stonewall Jackson to move his famous "foot cavalry" troops during the American Civil War.

Prior to the building of the Shenandoah National Park and the Skyline Drive by the federal Works Progress Administration (WPA) during the Great Depression, the town of Beahm was located at Thornton Gap.

Sculptor William Randolph Barbee was the son of a toll collector at Thornton Gap; his son Herbert later erected a bust in his memory at the site.

Current information
Thornton Gap is the site of the mountain crossing of U.S. Highway 211. It is located at the border of Page County and Rappahannock County. At Thornton Gap, there is an entry point for the Skyline Drive, which runs between Front Royal and the northern terminus with the Blue Ridge Parkway at Rockfish Gap. The Skyline Drive generally following the mountain ridge tops through the Shenandoah National Park, which has its headquarters near Thornton Gap in the Town of Luray. The Appalachian Trail also passes through Thornton Gap.

Fluoroform

Fluoroform, or trifluoromethane, is the chemical compound with the formula CHF3. It is a hydrofluorocarbon as well as being a part of the haloforms, a class of compounds with the formula CHX3 (X = halogen) with C3v symmetry. Fluoroform is used in diverse applications in organic synthesis. It is not an ozone depleter but is a greenhouse gas.

Synthesis
About 20 million kg per year are produced industrially as both a by-product of and precursor to the manufacture of Teflon. It is produced by reaction of chloroform with HF:
 * CHCl3 + 3 HF → CHF3 + 3 HCl

It is also generated biologically in small amounts apparently by decarboxylation of trifluoroacetic acid.

Historical
Fluoroform was first obtained by Maurice Meslans in the violent reaction of iodoform with dry silver fluoride in 1894. The reaction was improved by Otto Ruff by substitution of silver fluoride by a mixture of mercury fluoride and calcium fluoride. The exchange reaction works with iodoform and bromoform, and the exchange of the first two halogen atoms by fluorine is vigorous. By changing to a two step process, first forming a bromodifluoromethane in the reaction of antimony trifluoride with bromoform and finishing the reaction with mercury fluoride the first efficient synthesis method was found by Henne.

Industrial applications
CHF3 is used in the semiconductor industry in plasma etching of silicon oxide and silicon nitride. Known as R-23 or HFC-23, it was also a useful refrigerant, sometimes as a replacement for chlorotrifluoromethane (CFC-13) and is a byproduct of its manufacture.

When used as a fire suppressant, the fluoroform carries the DuPont trade name, FE-13. CHF3 is recommended for this application because of its low toxicity, its low reactivity, and its high density. HFC-23 has been used in the past as a replacement for Halon 1301(CFC-13B1) in fire suppression systems as a total flooding gaseous fire suppression agent.

Organic chemistry
Fluoroform is weakly acidic with a pKa = 25–28 and quite inert. Attempted deprotonation results in defluorination to generate F− and difluorocarbene (CF2). Some organocopper and organocadmium compounds have been developed as trifluoromethylation reagents.

Fluoroform is a precursor of the Ruppert-Prakash reagent CF3Si(CH3)3, which is a source of the nucleophilic CF3− anion.

Greenhouse gas

CHF3 is a potent greenhouse gas. A ton of HFC-23 in the atmosphere has the same effect as 11,700 tons of carbon dioxide. This equivalency, also called a 100-yr global warming potential, is slightly larger at 14,800 for HFC-23. The atmospheric lifetime is 270 years.

HFC-23 was the most abundant HFC in the global atmosphere until around 2001, when the global mean concentration of HFC-134a (1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane), the chemical now used extensively in automobile air conditioners, surpassed those of HFC-23. Global emissions of HFC-23 have in the past been dominated by the inadvertent production and release during the manufacture of the refrigerant HCFC-22 (chlorodifluoromethane).

Substantial decreases in HFC-23 emissions by developed countries were reported from the 1990s to the 2000s: from 6-8 Gg/yr in the 1990s to 2.8 Gg/yr in 2007.

The UNFCCC Clean Development Mechanism  provided funding and facilitated the destruction of HFC-23.

Developing countries have become the largest producers of HCFC-23 in recent years according to data compiled by the Ozone Secretariat of the World Meteorological Organization. Emissions of all HFCs are included in the UNFCCCs Kyoto Protocol. To mitigate its impact, CHF3 can be destroyed with electric plasma arc technologies or by high temperature incineration.

Dusan Djuric

Dusan Predrag Djuric (Душан Предраг Ђурић; born 16 September 1984) is a Swedish professional footballer who plays as a midfielder. Starting off his career with Halmstads BK in Sweden, he went on to play professionally in Switzerland, Denmark, and France before returning to Sweden in 2016. He won eight caps for the Sweden national team between 2005 and 2010.

Early career
Starting his career in Halmstads BK youth team, he was raised up to the senior team in 2003 and debuted against GIF Sundsvall in the premier game of the season, coming on as a substitute. Prior to the 2004 season, he had established himself as a player in the starting line-up and aided the club to become runner-up, two points behind Malmö FF. Djuric continued on as a starting player during the poor season of 2005, as Halmstads BK qualified for the 2005–06 UEFA Cup group stage, in which Djuric became the only goalscorer for the club, against Sampdoria. During the following seasons he started mainly as a midfielder but gradually stept up to become a forward.

Zürich
Following the UEFA Cup in 2005, Djuric attracted the attention of bigger clubs in Europe, such as Sporting CP, Real Sociedad and Anderlecht, however, he signed a contract with Swiss club Zürich on 7 January 2008.

Djuric gained somewhat instant glory at Zürich, following a goal against Milan on San Siro in the 2008–09 UEFA Cup first round, however, Milan won both matches with 4–1 totally. Djuric helpt Zürich win the 2008–09 season and then scored twice during the qualification rounds to the 2009–10 UEFA Champions League. Djuric playing in Zürich didn't go unnoticed and it was soon speculation once again that he would move to various clubs, among them Fiorentina, Montpellier and Valenciennes.

Valenciennes
On 13 January 2012, Valenciennes confirmed that they had signed him on a three-and a half-year-contract. After struggling with injuries, he joined Danish club Odense on loan for the 2013–14 season.

Aarau
At the end of the 2013–14 season, Djuric signed a one-year deal for Swiss club FC Aarau for an undisclosed fee.

Dalkurd FF
Ahead of the 2016 Superettan season, Djuric signed for Dalkurd FF where he ended up playing 20 games and scoring 2 goals.

GAIS
In 2017, Djuric signed for the Superettan club GAIS. Djuric left GAIS at the end of the 2018 season.

Return to Halmstads BK
On 26 February 2019, Djuric returned to Halmstads BK on a contract until the end of 2020.

Youth
Djuric made his debut for Sweden's U-21 team in 2004 against Portugals U-21 team on 17 February. He was also part of Sweden's squad to the 2004 UEFA European U-21 Championship, which ended in 4th place.

Senior
Djuric where called up to Sweden's national team prior to its January tour in United States in 2005, being placed on the bench against South Korea, he came on as a substitute against Mexico.

Personal life
Of Serb descent, his parents are from Loznica, Serbia.
