Sarekoppa Bangarappa

Sarekoppa Bangarappa (26 October 1933 – 26 December 2011) was an Indian politician who was the 6th Chief Minister of Karnataka from 1990 to 1992.

He served as a Member of the Legislative Assembly for Karnataka between 1967 and 1996, before contesting a series of six elections for the Lok Sabha from 1996 to 2009, of which he lost two. He founded both the Karnataka Vikas Party and the Karnataka Congress Party during a 44-year career in which his supporters called him Solillada Saradara (a leader who cannot be defeated). As well as these two parties, Bangarappa was at various times a member of the Indian National Congress, the Bharatiya Janata Party, the Samajwadi Party and Janata Dal (Secular), and his critics described him as a party-hopper because of this.

Early life
Bangarappa was born on 26 October 1933 in Kubatur village, Soraba Taluk, Shimoga district, Karnataka. He married Shakuntala in 1958 and the couple had five children, including the actor Kumar Bangarappa and film maker Madhu Bangarappa, both of whom have also been politicians. He came from the Deevaru-Idiga community.

He obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree, a similar degree in Law and a Diploma in Social Science. He stayed in kubaturu with his joint family he also had a sister named bangaramma.His niece K S Palakshappa and his son Girish took care of the house hold.

Political career
Bangarappa began his career in politics as a socialist. He was elected to the Karnataka Legislative Assembly in 1967 from the Soraba constituency of Shimoga district. He became known as a champion of the backward classes, of which his Deevaru origins made him a member. Subsequently, he joined the Indian National Congress (INC) and became a minister in the government of Devaraj Urs, with his first appointment being as Minister of State in the Home department in 1977. This post was followed by that of Cabinet Minister for the Public Works Department in 1978 and then Revenue and Agriculture Minister between 1980 and 1981. In 1979, he served for a year as President of the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee.

In 1983, he left the INC and became involved with the Karnataka Kranti Ranga (Karnataka Revolutionary Front, also known as the Kannada Kranti Ranga) that had been established a few years earlier by the now-deceased Urs. A brief alliance between the KKR and the Janata Party (JP) resulted in the 1983 election of the first non-INC government in the state. Although there had been speculation that he would be appointed Chief Minister in that government, this post went instead to Ramakrishna Hegde of the JP. Bangarappa gradually realigned himself with the INC after spending some time supporting the government of Hegde.

Bangarappa was appointed as the Leader of Opposition in the Karnataka Legislative Assembly in 1985 and held that post until 1987. Following the Congress victory in 1989, he became Agriculture Minister in the Veerendra Patil cabinet. He was appointed as Chief Minister of the state in 1990 after Patil was removed on the orders of Rajiv Gandhi, allegedly on health grounds. Subsequently, in 1992, Bangarappa was replaced as Chief Minister by Veerappa Moily. During his tenure, he promoted three popular programmes: Aradhana (to revive and rebuild 36,000 religious shrines), Ashraya (to build houses for the poor) and Vishwa (financial aid for rural artisans and cottage industries). His term had been marred by several allegations of his involvement in scandals, such as that involving Classik Computers, although he was cleared of any impropriety in that case. His removal followed his government's failure in handling the Cauvery riots.

Bangarappa left the INC after his removal and formed the Karnataka Congress Party (KCP). His election successes after leaving the chief ministership demonstrated the extent of his personal support with the electorate, which seemed not to be reliant upon the political party to which he belonged, although his popularity declined over time. He came to be seen as a "turncoat politician" who lacked ideology and principle and who moved from one party to another according to whichever he considered to be the most likely to gain power at the time.

Having won the Soraba assembly seat on seven occasions, Bangarappa left it and the Karnataka Legislative Assembly in 1996. In the same year, he contested the Shimoga constituency, a mostly agricultural area in which the Idiga caste dominated, and was elected a member of the Lok Sabha as a KCP candidate. He then, went on to form the Karnataka Vikas Party (KVP) and lost in 1998 as a representative of the KVP. However, he was re-elected in 1999 as an INC candidate. In 2004, he joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and was re-elected to the Lok Sabha as a BJP candidate with a large majority. In 2005 he resigned from the BJP and joined the Samajwadi Party, sparking a by-election to the Lok Sabha that he won. In 2008, he contested against the BJP Chief Ministerial candidate, Yeddyurappa, in the Shikaripura assembly seat and lost heavily. In the 2009 Lok Sabha elections, he lost to Yeddyurappa's son, B. Y. Raghavendra, of the BJP. In that last election, Bangarappa had represented the INC. Later, in December 2010 and with his political career in decline, Bangarappa joined the Janata Dal (Secular).

Death
Bangarappa suffered from diabetes and died on 26 December 2011 in a Bangalore hospital due to multiple causes. His funeral was attended by a large number of supporters and was held with state honours at his native village.

Police had to intervene during the funeral ceremonies due to disputes between factions, much of which appeared to revolve around family differences involving Kumar and Madhu Bangarappa. Comments made by Bangarappa at the time of the 2004 assembly elections caused problems for his son, Kumar, who was at that time a minister in the INC government of S. M. Krishna. Kumar represented his father's old constituency, Soraba, and differences of opinion between the two men had already surfaced, which Bangarappa appeared to delight in publicising but Kumar attempted to play down. Kumar reacted to his father's decision to join the BJP in order to contest the Lok Sabha elections by himself resigning from the INC and his ministerial role. Kumar then discovered that his politically inexperienced younger brother, Madhu Bangarappa, had been selected by the BJP to fight the constituency, apparently at the instigation of his father. Kumar returned to the INC and agreed to stand for election against his brother, determined to make a point to his father and to support Krishna's desire to see Bangarappa humiliated on what was his "home turf". Bangarappa campaigned for Madhu and attempted to mobilise his own support to that end. However, although Bangarappa himself won handsomely from the Shimoga Lok Sabha seat, he was unable to secure the victory of Madhu in Soraba.

Bodmin Parkway railway station

Bodmin Parkway railway station (Fordh Bosvena) is on the Cornish Main Line that serves the nearby town of Bodmin and other parts of mid-Cornwall, England. It is situated 3 mi south-east of the town of Bodmin in the civil parish of St Winnow, 274 mi from London Paddington measured via Box and Plymouth Millbay. Network Rail’s National Rail Timetable dated May 2023 records the distance from London Paddington to Bodmin Parkway as 252.50 miles.

Great Western Railway manages the station and operates most of the train services, although CrossCountry operates some long-distance services. The Bodmin and Wenford Railway operates a heritage service on the branch to the town on certain days.

History
Drawings held by Network Rail show that the Liskeard Contract section of Cornwall Railway’s Plymouth to Falmouth scheme, within which Bodmin Road Station was eventually situated, had reached the detailed design stage by June 1854. Original proposals to build a branch to Bodmin, then the most important town in Cornwall, failed as the company was unable to raise enough capital. Instead they opted for a station at a convenient point on their main line. The most suitable location lay within the Glynn Estate, but as their agreement with Charles Crespigny Vivian, the landowner, forbade the construction of a station within his grounds, protracted negotiations were necessary before a new agreement could be reached. When the railway opened on 4 May 1859, all that could be reported was that: "No station has yet been erected for Bodmin, owing to the site not having been immediately determined upon. It will be either near to Glynn Bridge or "Respryn" Bridge and, until it is completed, the Bodmin traffic will be accommodated at a temporary wooden shed erected near the latter place." Respryn was near the entrance to Lanhydrock House, the home of Thomas James Agar-Robartes, 1st Baron Robartes, a railway supporter.

The new station was finally ready to open on 27 June 1859 and was named 'Bodmin Road'. Because of its remote location, the station master was paid five pounds by the Post Office to carry out the duties of postmaster. He also received a special lodging allowance until a house could be provided for him two years later. A goods shed was built in 1860 at the east end of the station, behind the platform for trains to Plymouth, and cattle pens were added the following year. A footbridge across the line was built by Mr Robartes in 1860 to enable visitors to reach Lanhydrock more easily. This was later replaced by a passage beneath the tracks. This path is still used by those visitors to this National Trust property who arrive by train.

Proposals were made in 1863 for a Bodmin, Wadebridge and Cornwall Junction Railway to connect the Cornwall Railway at Bodmin Road with the Bodmin and Wadebridge Railway at Bodmin, an isolated standard gauge line owned by the London and South Western Railway. An agreement was reached in 1864 for the Cornwall Railway to work the line once it was completed, and an Act of Parliament was obtained. Capital proved difficult to raise and so the scheme failed. The line was eventually built by the Great Western Railway, opening on 27 May 1887. The branch line served the rear of the up (eastbound) platform which meant that the goods shed had to be moved from that area to the opposite end of the station. Lord Robarte's footbridge was also in the way so was replaced by a new path under the railway near the goods shed. The main building, which was on the down platform, was extended and a covered footbridge provided between the platforms. The branch was a standard gauge line and so traffic from Bodmin to the Cornwall Railway had to be transferred at Bodmin Road until the broad gauge line was converted over the weekend of 21 May 1892.

The station was further rebuilt in 1896. The platform was lengthened and the goods yard enlarged goods yard were provided.

The Cornwall Railway was originally a single track broad gauge line, but a passing loop at Bodmin Road allowed trains to pass. The railway company was amalgamated into the Great Western Railway on 1 July 1889. After the route had been narrowed to standard gauge in 1892 i work started to lay a second track. The second track westwards to Lostwithiel opened on 2 July 1893 and eastwards to Doublebois on 22 December 1893.

The Great Western Railway was nationalised into British Railways from 1 January 1948.

In 1958, John Betjeman (who was the poet laureate from 1972 to 1984) wrote in a letter to his friend Peggy Thomas:

"Perhaps we could all set up at Bodmin Road Station by arrangement with the Great Western – you in the refreshment room because of drink, Lynam in the signal box because of administrative ability, me in the booking office because I’m literary, Edward [Hornby] to do the lamps and odd jobs because he’s so clever with his hands, Douglas to look after the down platform as head porter and Ted as outside boy, pushing trolleys to Bodmin and meeting motor cars on arrival. We won’t have a station master, as we’ll be one glorious Soviet. Joan [Kunzer] will run the Bodmin branch."

By 1963 fears were growing that British Railways Board (BRB) was considering closing Bodmin Road Station. It was not until BRB published a public notice under the Transport Act 1962 entitled ‘Withdrawal of Passenger Railway Services’ on 30 April 1964 that confirmation came that the station would remain open ‘to serve the North Cornwall area as a main line railhead’. Goods facilities at Bodmin Road Station, however, were withdrawn, with the goods shed to the east of the station closing for business on 4 November 1963.

In 1969 St Merryn contractors R C Wilce and Sons demolished most of the late Victorian station buildings and replaced them with modern timber structures at a cost of £8,000. Bodmin Road was renamed 'Bodmin Parkway' on 4 November 1983 and in 1989 Wilce and Sons' station buildings were replaced by brick structures. In 2002/2003 a £500,000 Rail Passenger Partnership scheme saw the car park being extensively improved and the ticket office block extended.

Heritage Railway
The line to Bodmin General lost its passenger service on 30 January 1967, although goods traffic (primarily china clay) continued on the branch line until 20 November 1983. After this ceased the line was taken over by the Bodmin and Wenford Railway and reopened as a heritage railway on 17 June 1990. There is no booking office for the Bodmin and Wenford trains so passengers buy their tickets from the guard. These trains use the opposite face of the platform used by mainline trains towards Plymouth. The Bodmin line curves sharply away to the north at the west end of the platform, and between this line and the main line is the exchange siding used for occasional movements between the two railways, and a large modern carriage shed alongside that is used to store rolling stock for the Bodmin and Wenford Railway.

Facilities
The entrance to the station is on the south-east side of the line, and so the approach road from the road to Bodmin passes under the line north of the platforms. A footpath leads from the car park to Lanhydrock House, passing under the line at the west end of the station.

The brick-built Great Western Railway booking office is next to the entrance on the westbound platform, while a matching building on the opposite platform serves as a waiting room for passengers travelling towards Plymouth.

The former signal box, which now houses a cafe, is situated to the north-east of the booking office, with the footbridge lying beyond this. The signal box is a Great Western Railway Type 3 structure dating from 1887 with stairs in two different styles. It was designated as a Grade II listed building in 2015.

Signalling
When the Cornwall Railway opened, its trains were controlled by independently operated signals; there were no signal boxes but an electric telegraph linked the stations so that the policemen who controlled the dispatch of the trains could communicate.

The signal box was fitted with a new locking frame in 1912 and was rebuilt circa 1928. The next signal box to the east was at Largin, and to the west was at Lostwithiel. A new signal box was opened on 31 January 1931 at Onslow Sidings (to serve a china clay works), 1.25 mi towards Largin, but closed again on 10 November 1968. The signal box at Bodmin Road was itself closed on 30 May 1985, as was that at Largin on 14 December 1991.

The single track of the Bodmin branch was controlled by an electric train staff until 28 December 1950, after which an electric key token was used. Signalling on the branch was removed on 27 March 1968, after which points were operated by independent levers. The connection from the main line into the exchange siding is operated by a lever frame under the supervision of Lostwithiel signal box.

Services
Bodmin Parkway is served by almost all Great Western Railway trains on the Cornish Main Line between Penzance and Plymouth with two trains per hour in each direction. Most trains run through to or from London Paddington, including the Night Riviera overnight sleeping car service; there are also some GWR services to Newquay.

There were also a limited number of CrossCountry trains providing a service from Penzance to Glasgow Central or Manchester Piccadilly in the morning and returning in the evening.

The bus link to Bodmin, Wadebridge and Padstow starts from outside the main entrance. Plymouth Citybus operates a bus service (to Bodmin and Padstow in one direction and Liskeard in the other) from the small station car park.

Accidents and incidents
On 13 April 1895 the down passenger train from Plymouth derailed between Doublebois near milepost 271, about 3 mi east of Bodmin Road. Both of the train's locomotives (numbers 3521 and 3548) left the rails on a curve and dragged nearly the whole of the train with them. The lead engine slewed to the left onto the bank and the trailing engine to the right, across both lines at right angles to the train. There were no fatalities. It is thought that the track had been damaged by the preceding train, the 10.15 'Cornishman' express from Paddington, headed by engines 'similar in all respects'. These engines had a reputation for rough riding, particularly at speed, and according to the official accident report, the preceding train had almost certainly been speeding through the section based on the timings taken at Doublebois and Bodmin Road. The accident report concluded it 'seemed only too probable' that the 'Cornishman' had damaged the track and led to the derailment of the following train. Following the derailment this class of locomotives were banned from working in pairs.

Steven Honigberg

Steven Honigberg (born 17 May 1962) is an American cellist. He is a member of the National Symphony Orchestra and the Potomac String Quartet. From 1994-2002, Honigberg served as chamber music series director at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, during which time the museum produced forty concerts and issued 4 CDs. From 1990-2009, he was principal cellist and chamber music director of the Edgar M. Bronfman series in Sun Valley, Idaho, where he was featured as soloist with the summer symphony in a variety of concerti. Hongiberg solos frequently; he is also known as a well-reviewed performer from David Ott's premier of Concerto for Two Cellos.

A native of Chicago, Honigberg presented eight performances of Tchaikovsky's "Variations on a Rococo Theme" with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra as a 16-year-old winner of Chicago's Youth Competition. The summer before, while at Interlochen's Summer Music Camp, Honigberg, as a result of winning the 1978 Concerto Competition, performed with the World Youth Symphony as soloist in Bloch's "Schelomo", a performance that was recorded and released by the National Music Camp.

Honigberg graduated from the Juilliard School with a Master's Degree in 1984. That same year, he soloed with the Juilliard Orchestra at Alice Tully Hall in Strauss' Don Quixote, presented his New York Debut recital as a competition winner in Carnegie Recital Hall and was chosen by Mstislav Rostropovich to become a member of the National Symphony Orchestra in Washington, D.C.

In February, 1988, Rostropovich led the National Symphony Orchestra in the world premiere of the Concerto for Two Cellos, by David Ott; with David Teie and Honigberg, to whom the score is dedicated, as soloists. The Washington Post wrote "...the audience gave it a five-minute standing ovation." The Washington Times reported, "It was a case of love at first hearing. Mr. Rostropovich hugged and kissed the composer and his cellists as the packed house roared its approval." A champion of the work, Rostropovich subsequently programmed the "Concerto for Two Cellos" on the NSO's 1989 and 1994 U.S. tours. The cellists have played the work 30 times with numerous orchestras.

Honigberg is a member of the Washington, D.C. based Potomac String Quartet, which released landmark projects - the complete string quartets of David Diamond (1915–2005; eleven quartets on four CDs) and Quincy Porter (1897–1966; nine quartets on two CD's). Honigberg also recorded Homage to Rostropovich (1927–2007), a CD of solo cello works written for the cellist; Frédéric Chopin's complete works for cello and piano; Ludwig van Beethoven's complete works for cello and piano; and his debut American works CD (Barber, Bernstein, Schuller, Foss, Diamond) rounds out his current discography.

Honigberg is noted for explorations of new works, such as Lukas Foss' Anne Frank (1999), Benjamin Lees' Night Spectres (1999), Robert Stern's Hazkarah (1998), Robert Starer's Song of Solitude (1995), and David Diamond's Concert Piece (1993), all written for, premiered and recorded by the cellist.

Honigberg is author of Leonard Rose: America's Golden Age and Its First Cellist, published in 2010 and revised in 2013.

Junik

Junik (Juniku; Јуник) is a town and municipality in the Gjakova District in western Kosovo.

History
During the Ottoman occupation of the Balkans, Junik and the Municipality of Junik were part of the Nahiya of Altun-ili during the 15th century. In a 1485 defter of the region, Junik was mentioned with the name Lunik. In the 15th century, around half of Junik's population had typical Albanian anthroponomy. The Ottoman register from 1485 indicates that Junik was mostly inhabited by an Albanian population whom bore Albanian names mixed with Slavic and Christian Junik was also recorded with 52 households in the 1485 register. During the early period of Ottoman occupation, Gjakova and the Gjakova Municipality were part of the Nahiya of Altun-ili. Most of the villages in the Nahiya of Altun-ili were dominated by inhabitants with Albanian anthroponomy, which indicates that during the 15th century (as supported by Ottoman defters), the lands between Junik and Gjakova were inhabited by a dominant ethnic Albanian majority.

Geography
It is located between Deçan and Gjakova along Kosovo's mountainous border with Albania. It has a convenient geographical position because it extends to the north-west of the Dukagjin plain, in front of the mouth of the Erenik river, which originates from the Gjeravica lakes and goes through the valleys of the Albanian Alps. Municipality of Junik is bordered by the Municipality of Deçan, the Municipality of Gjakova, the Republic of Albania and the Republic of Montenegro. The distance Junik-Peja is 25 km, Junik-Gjakova is 20 km, passing through the village of Batushë, while the distance from Junik to Rastavicë (Peja-Gjakova highway) is 5.5 km.

Climate
Junik has a continental climate, but with some Mediterranean features. This climate is suitable for the cultivation of various agricultural crops. The average monthly temperature is 21 C in July and -11 C in January.

Hydrology
The Erenik river is the largest and most important in the region, which also serves as a source of water for the irrigation of the Junik field.

Demographics
According to the 2011 census, the town of Junik has 6,053 inhabitants, while the municipality has 6,084 inhabitants. Based on the population estimates from the Kosovo Agency of Statistics in 2016, the municipality has 6,425 inhabitants. It is populated primarily with ethnic Albanians.

Big Hits (High Tide and Green Grass)

Big Hits (High Tide and Green Grass) is the first compilation album by the Rolling Stones. With different cover art and track listings, it was released on 28 March 1966, on London Records in the US and on 4 November 1966, by Decca Records in the UK.

The American edition focused on songs from 1964 and 1965 with two new tunes: the recent "19th Nervous Breakdown" and the re-recorded "Time Is on My Side" with the guitar intro. The British version covered a longer period, from the group's first single A-side in 1963, "Come On", to several songs from 1966, including the recent hit "Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby, Standing in the Shadow?"

The album reached number three on the US Billboard 200 and number four on the UK Albums Chart. It remained on the chart 99 weeks in the US, where the RIAA certified the album double platinum, signifying over two million copies sold.

Release
The songs chosen for the American version of Big Hits were roughly split between originals written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards and those by American R&B and rock 'n' roll musicians, with most of the songs taken from the first five US Stones albums released by London Records. The album cover photo for the US edition was taken at Franklin Canyon Park in the mountains above Beverly Hills by Guy Webster.

The UK Big Hits (High Tide and Green Grass) includes tracks released after the American edition appeared. The Rolling Stones' debut 1963 single, a cover of Chuck Berry's "Come On", was included, but the more successful follow-up, "I Wanna Be Your Man" – composed by rivals (although in reality as friends) Lennon–McCartney – was left off the album. However, an early slick-proof of the album, displayed on Exhibitionism in London in 2016, showed the track as slated for inclusion, but it was ultimately replaced by "Time Is on My Side" by Jerry Ragovoy (as 'Norman Meade'). The fisheye lens-view photo used for the UK front cover was taken in New York City by Jerry Schatzberg, with the back cover featuring the Webster photo from the US cover.

Big Hits (High Tide and Green Grass) reached number four in the UK charts. The British version was again made available to the public as part of a limited edition vinyl box set, titled "The Rolling Stones 1964–1969", in November 2010. It was also re-released digitally at the same time. The vinyl version of the album includes a booklet pasted into the gatefold with color photos of the Rolling Stones in concert and in the studio.

Once more, the UK version was released on Record Store Day in 2019 on Green Vinyl, to go along with the release of its second volume, Through the Past, Darkly, which was released on orange vinyl for both Record Store Day and its 50th anniversary, as stated on the Record Store Day sticker affixed on the front of the vinyl cover.

Critical reception
In a retrospective review for AllMusic, Bruce Eder said the US edition of Big Hits is "still one of the most potent collections of singles that one can find... Appearing as it did in the late winter of 1966, this collection completely missed the group's drift into psychedelia, and it has since been supplanted by Hot Rocks and More Hot Rocks, but Big Hits is still the most concentrated dose of the early Stones at their most accessible that is to be had, short of simply playing their first five U.S. albums." Reviewing the 2002 ABKCO reissue, Kent H. Benjamin from The Austin Chronicle regarded it as essential in order to "get most of the Stones' original singles in true stereo".

Music biographer and journalist Johnny Rogan said that in the UK, Big Hits and the Beatles' December 1966 compilation A Collection of Beatles Oldies were significant because "Britain's two premier groups" had issued "greatest hits collections in the home market for the first time in their careers". Both albums, in his opinion, "represented a coming of age, reminding listeners and the artistes themselves that they were already the equivalent of heritage acts, whose remarkable run of hits qualified them for a rare privilege, unlikely to be repeated for many years, if ever".

William Douglas-Hamilton, 12th Duke of Hamilton

William Alexander Louis Stephen Douglas-Hamilton, 12th Duke of Hamilton, 9th Duke of Brandon, 2nd Duke of Châtellerault KT (12 March 1845 in London – 16 May 1895 in Algiers) was a Scottish nobleman.

Biography
Hamilton was born at Connaught Place, London, the son of William Hamilton, 11th Duke of Hamilton and Princess Marie of Baden, the adoptive granddaughter of Napoleon Bonaparte. Through his mother, Hamilton was related to numerous European royal families. Among his first cousins were King Carol I of Romania and Queen Stephanie of Portugal (children of his aunt Josephine) and Queen Carola of Saxony (daughter of his aunt Louise).

Hamilton was educated at Eton College and Christ Church, Oxford. A description of Hamilton pertaining to this period in his life has this description of him to offer:
 * "At Christchurch, he went in for boxing, as he went in later for horse-racing, yachting and other amusements... He was full bodied, of a rudely ruddy complexion, had a powerful neck, and seemed strong enough to fell an ox with his fist... He had a frankness of speech bordering on rudeness".

In July 1863, Hamilton's father died and 18-year-old Hamilton became the 12th Duke of Hamilton. His inheritance was not great, for the 11th Duke, having married a princess, had lived in befitting style. Among other things, he had purchased a house in London from the Duke of Beaufort for the vast sum of £60,000 and lavished further monies on that property over the period of a decade. He had also built extensively in Scotland, almost tripling the size of Brodick Castle and remodeling it in Bavarian style in honour of his wife. At his death, he left an estate valued at £140,000, to be divided between his wife and children. Hamilton did inherit a significant portion of this estate, but by 1867, he was close to financial ruin when providentially, his race horse Cortolvin won the Grand National Steeplechase at Aintree. In addition to substantial prize money, Hamilton also took some £16,000 from the bookmakers, restoring his fortune substantially. However, his mother (who had inherited the house in London), still found it necessary or prudent to sell that property, and it was auctioned in that same year (1867). He owned 157,000 acres mostly in Bute, Lanark and Suffolk.

In 1869, Hamilton's younger sister, Mary, married Albert I, Prince of Monaco. She left her husband within two years of marriage, was later divorced from him and then married a Hungarian count, but her son would nevertheless succeed to the throne of Monaco as Louis II, Prince of Monaco; all future rulers of Monaco are descended from her.

On 10 December 1873, Hamilton married Lady Mary Montagu, daughter of William Montagu, 7th Duke of Manchester, at Kimbolton Castle and they had one daughter:
 * Lady Mary Louise Douglas-Hamilton (1 November 1884 – 21 February 1957), she married James Graham, 6th Duke of Montrose on 14 June 1906. They had four children.

Hamilton died at Algiers in 1895, aged 50. The title passed to his fourth cousin, who became the 13th Duke of Hamilton.

Yamaha TDM850

The Yamaha TDM is an 849 cc DOHC parallel-twin motorcycle that heralded the modern "Sport touring" category. The TDM was first manufactured by the Yamaha Motor Company of Japan in 1991. The TDM has a pressed-steel frame and a dry sump engine with five valves per cylinder, (three inlet and two exhaust).

History
The TDM was arguably the first road-oriented "Adventure Sports" motorcycle. It was not intended as an off-road machine, but as a comfortable yet manoeuvrable all-rounder, rather like the Ducati Multistrada of later years. A TDM is too bulky and heavy for serious off-road work, but its long-travel suspension can cope with gravel tracks.

The TDM's engine was derived from the Paris Dakar winning Yamaha XTZ 750 Super Tenere. Yamaha intended to create a motorcycle capable of handling European mountain roads and coping with rougher road surfaces. The TDM's upright riding position seemed radical in its day.

The TDM was imported into the United States for only two years, 1992 and 1993. It was never a big seller in the United Kingdom nor at first in The Netherlands, but sales were strong in other European countries, particularly in France, Germany and Greece..

In 1996, instead of the previous 360 engine Yamaha released the Mk II TDM with updated bodywork and a 270° firing order engine that was shared with the TRX850, they also shared the same transmission. This new engine was first seen in 1995, when Yamaha introduced its TRX850 in Japan.

Although early models came with no fuel gauge and a reserve fuel tap, beginning in 1999, Yamaha replaced the temperature gauge on the dashboard with a fuel gauge.

Successor
In 2001 the TDM850 was succeeded by the TDM 900, a more powerful bike with a similar concept to the 850. The TDM900 featured new bodywork, a diamond-shaped alloy frame, a 6-speed gearbox, fuel-injection, R1-derived brakes, a reduced dry weight of 190 kg, a larger-capacity 900cc engine, and slightly wider tyres (160 rear, 120 front). It has a 2-position trip meter, a digital clock, and digital fuel meter. ABS was available as an option. The engine has a maximum power output of 84.8 hp @ 7,500 rpm and torque 65.49 lbft @ 7,500 rpm (claimed).

Reception
MCN said of the TDM850 Mk II: "Fairly revolutionary when launched and certainly years ahead of its time, the Yamaha TDM850 was a sort of Multistrada 12 years before Ducati thought of it. As a serious ‘street trailie allrounder' it’s pretty effective too. The later 900 is better, but the Yamaha TDM850 is still decent, good value, different, and largely overlooked".

Requested move 4 August 2021

 * The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: Not moved. (non-admin closure) Natg 19 (talk) 00:21, 14 August 2021 (UTC)

Rajahmundry → Rajamahendravaram – The city's name has been changed officially into Rajahmendravaram. It's page name should also be changed on the lines of Tiruchirapalli, Thoothukudi & Thiruvananthapuram etc.,. Rajahmundry is the common name according to WP:COMMON NAME. But a new name becomes a common name only when it is used often in pages like Wikipedia and moreover the name is changed to represent the city's history, so the old name still can also be used as an also known name. So no issue when a new name is used as the previous name still is used in the page's detail section. So, I request to please move the page to Rajamahendravaram. Chinnusaikrish (talk) 14:46, 4 August 2021 (UTC) (talk) 14:44, 4 August 2021 (UTC) The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
 * Oppose as Rajahmundry (172,000) is being more widely used than Rajamahendravaram (24,600). Also 1 year moratorium. I also support speedy close on the grounds that the nominator has already raised the same request twice in the past 10 months, this being the third, and has failed to prove the WP:COMMONNAME. -- DaxServer (talk) 15:09, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Oppose and speedy close in addition to 1 year moratorium as suggested by DaxServer. There is no reason to set aside Rajahmundry which is still the COMMONNAME of the city. -- Ab207 (talk) 15:37, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Oppose wait until press uses it. In ictu oculi (talk) 19:23, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Oppose. By nom's own admission the common name has not changed and this RM is an attempt to speed the process. But this is exactly the way in which we do not wish to see Wikipedia used, and that is a fundamental policy. I would support a moratorium, but perhaps a very tightly scoped TBAN prohibiting nom from ever raising another such RM would be more appropriate. They just do not get it. It's not punishment, but just to protect Wikipedia against this utter waste of time. Andrewa (talk) 10:03, 12 August 2021 (UTC)

U'wa people

The U'wa are an indigenous people living in the cloud forests of northeastern Colombia. Historically, the U'wa numbered as many as 20,000, scattered over a homeland that extended across the Venezuela-Colombia border. Some 7-8,000 U'wa are alive today.

The U'wa are known to neighboring indigenous peoples as "the thinking people" or "the people who speak well". They were formerly called Tunebo, but today prefer to be known as U'wa, meaning "people".

Struggle to prevent oil drilling
They gained international visibility in a 14-year-long struggle to prevent oil drilling on their land, which secured the withdrawal of Royal Dutch Shell and Occidental Petroleum (Oxy), and continues as Ecopetrol and Repsol YPF seek to drill on their land. Their representative to the outside world in this struggle, Berito Kuwaru'wa, won the Goldman Environmental Prize in 1998. The conflict came to a head as Oxy prepared to drill at the Gibraltar 1 test site. The U'wa, who had previously threatened to commit mass suicide if the oil extraction project went forward, constructed a small village on the site of the drillsite. They also set up numerous roadblocks and a coordinated (together with neighboring campesinos and the Guahibo) a regional social strike that paralyzed the surrounding area. Although the Colombian military dislodged the protesters from the site, no commercially viable deposits were found. The U'wa were then in a new dispute with Ecopetrol, which was seeking to prospect for oil on their lands, after legal battles and non-violent protests, Ecopetrol withdrew.

Geography
The U'wa people live in northeastern Colombia, in the departments of Arauca, Boyacá, Casanare, Santander and Northern Santander. Historically, they also populated what is now Venezuela.

Territory
The U'wa ancestral homeland, known as Kajka-Ika or Kera Chikara, lies in the Sierra Nevada del Cocuy and covers more than 12000 km2. The area includes the headwaters of the Orinoco River. Historically, substantial portions of their homeland have been protected from any human access.

The U'wa have been engaged in a major project of land recovery, expanding their recognized territory from 1000 km2 to 2200 km2 Unified Reserve (Resguardo Unido) in 1999.

Municipalities belonging to U'wa territory
The U'wa inhabited the highlands of northernmost Boyacá and western Arauca and Casanare.

Culture
The U'wa speak a language of the Chibchan family called Uw Cuwa ("people's tongue"). They have no written tradition and have passed down their knowledge and customs primarily through song.

Their religious tradition includes an obligation to gather in the summer months and "sing the world into being" as well as to maintain equilibrium between the layers of the world: earth, water, oil, mountains, and sky. Their identification of petroleum, which they call Ruiria, with the blood of Mother Earth, stiffened their resolve in their conflict with oil corporations in the 1990s.

The U'wa consider non-U'wa to be impure, and place high importance on purification rituals, which makes interaction with outsiders difficult.

Institutions
The U'wa organize their political life in a collection of institutions known to the outside world as the U'wa Traditional Authorities. This body is made up of Werjayás (wise elders) and Karekas (medicine people) from each of the U'wa clans. The system of Cabildos mandated by the Colombian state includes an upper and lower council or Cabildo Mayor and Cabildo Menor, as well as the positions of President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, Public Prosecutor and Speaker. Berito KuwarU'wa has served as president in recent years.

The U'wa have affiliated with the Guahibo in the Association of Cabildos and Traditional Indigenous Authorities of the Department of Arauca (ASCATIDAR), officially founded in June 2003 to promote the local autonomy of the department's indigenous peoples. The Association's president is Dario Tulivila, a Guahibo leader.

Clans
The U'wa were grouped into eight clans from time immemorial to the 20th century. Three clans survived their dramatic population loss in the last hundred years and structure their communal life today: Kubaruwa (Cobaria), Tagrinuwa (Tegria) and Kaibaká (Bokota), each of which includes multiple communities. The U'wa population includes some 822 families.

Neo Ranga

Neo Ranga (南海奇皇 (ネオランガ)) is an anime television series created by screenwriter Shō Aikawa, Pierrot, and Pony Canyon. It consists of two seasons, totaling forty-eight episodes. The story is about three orphaned sisters who have, through a mysterious twist of fate, inherited their very own god—the 18 m tall Neo Ranga.

Neo Ranga was originally aired in Japan as part of the omnibus show Anime Complex. ADV Films licensed the anime in English.

Story
The Shimabara sisters (Manami, Ushio, and Yuuhi) are living on their own, with the eldest sister as their breadwinner, when a young man from the fictional Pacific island of Barou arrives with news of their long-missing brother. Their brother had married into the Barou royalty, but died, leaving the sisters as the hereditary rulers of Barou. As the rulers of Barou, they now fall under the protection of the island's god, Neo Ranga, which turns out to be a gigantic monster reminiscent of Godzilla. He follows them back to Japan, where Neoranga quickly runs afoul of the Japan Self-Defense Forces.

Characters
Ushio Shimabara is a somewhat tomboyish, yet slightly shy and a bit reserved fifteen-year-old with a keen sense of justice and selflessness. She quickly accepts Joel's presence, as well as her position as a keeper of Neo Ranga. Ushio is often seen as being more empathetic and sensible than her siblings, especially in regards to Neo Ranga's interactions with everyday Japanese people.

Voice: Yūko Miyamura (Japanese), Kelli Cousins (English)

Minami Shimabara, twenty-four years old, is the eldest of the sisters and essentially acts as a surrogate mother to Ushio and Yuuhi. She works multiple jobs to provide for her family, including delivering newspapers and working as a hostess. She is also the owner of the Star Hole Company, which educates young people on how to handle media pressure as a celebrity, and this experience becomes critical when she and her sisters inherit Neo Ranga. Minami tends to be seen as cold and aloof, partially due to her protective nature and attitude, and partially due to her constant concern with money, and because she is using Neo Ranga for financial gain.

Voice: Yuko Sumitomo (Japanese), Kaytha Coker (English)

Yuuhi Shimabara, thirteen years old, attends a private school in Shinagawa, Tokyo as the result of a scholarship. She is not above using her cute appearance to receive expensive gifts and favors from admirers, even including her teacher. While she is outwardly the most selfish of the sisters, she is also the most popular. Yuuhi takes pleasure in using Neo Ranga to intimidate unsavory elements in her neighborhood such as the yakuza, much to her sisters' consternation.

Voice: Eri Sendai (Japanese), Kira Vincent-Davis (English)

Joel is the harbinger of news from the older brother of the Shimabara trio, and apparently their nephew. He is always accompanied by a small white dragon, and wears his hair in a long braid.

Voice: Kōki Miyata (Japanese), Kevin Corn (English)

Neo Ranga is the giant protector god of Barou resembling a cross between Godzilla and a large, semi-organic mecha, but perhaps more accurately described as being similar to a golem. It is vaguely humanoid in shape, colored black and gray, and covered with red swirls. Neo Ranga does not talk, and is only able to express itself with its movements and its mysterious eyes.

Nnenna Freelon

Nnenna Freelon (born July 28, 1954) is an American jazz singer, composer, producer, and arranger.

Early life and education
Freelon was born Chinyere Nnenna Pierce to Charles and Frances Pierce in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where she was raised. She has a brother Melvin and a sister named Debbie. As a young woman, she sang extensively in her community and the Union Baptist Church and at St. Paul AME. She recalled, "I started singing in the church, like so many others...." Nnenna graduated from Simmons College in Boston with a degree in health care administration. For a while she worked for the Durham County Hospital Corporation, Durham, North Carolina.

She suggests that her influences included several "not famous people" as well as Nina Simone and Billy Eckstine, whose records her parents played at home. "It's important to expose your children to a wide musical environment," she says. "I did something that my grandmother told me: 'Bloom where you're planted', 'don't get on a bus and go to New York or L.A., sing where you are'."

Career
In 1990, Nnenna Freelon went to the Southern Arts Federation's jazz meeting and met Ellis Marsalis. "That was a big turning point. At that time, I had been singing for seven years. Ellis is an educator and he wanted to nurture and help. What I didn't know at the time was that George Butler of Columbia Records was looking for a female singer. Ellis asked me for a package of materials. I had my little local press kit and my little tape with original music. Two years later, I was signed to Columbia Records." She was in her late 30s when she made her debut CD, Nnenna Freelon, for Columbia in 1992. The label dropped her in 1994, and Concord Records signed her in 1996.

She has worked with Ray Charles, Ellis Marsalis, Al Jarreau, Anita Baker, Aretha Franklin, Dianne Reeves, Diana Krall, Ramsey Lewis, George Benson, Clark Terry, Herbie Hancock, and Terence Blanchard. She has performed at Carnegie Hall, Hollywood Bowl, Ellington Jazz Festival, Monterey Jazz Festival, Apollo Theater, Montreux Jazz Festival, John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.

Babysong workshops
Freelon is the national spokesperson for the National Association of Partners in Education, an organization with over 400,000 school and community partnership programs across the United States, dedicated to arts education. Freelon has maintained ties to her hospital-work as her jazz career has flourished. Her Babysong workshops, which she started at Duke University Medical Center in 1990, teach young mothers and healthcare providers the importance of the human voice for healing and nurturing. She emphasizes the importance of parents singing to children to enhance brain development.

Personal life
In 1979, she married architect Philip Freelon. She and her husband raised three children, Deen, Maya and Pierce, before she decided to perform professionally as a jazz singer. Their son Pierce Freelon is a hip hop artist, a Visiting Professor of Political Science at North Carolina Central University and the founder of the website Blackademics, for which he has interviewed many notable figures such as Angela Davis, Maya Angelou, Nikki Giovanni, and Jesse Jackson. Deen Freelon is a Presidential Professor in the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania studying social media and politics. Daughter Maya Freelon Asante is a visual artist.

Nice Article.

The tale of eternal love
mamsa nibadhamalla ragam (quoting Kumaranasan.could be made the subject of a seperate article)

Suhara is sick (kshayam) and ugly;a shadow of her old self."The beautiful, sunshiny,vibrant Suhara of the old is now a woman worn out by life.." Still Majeed finds himself loving her,only more passionately.
 * (vibrant: couldn't get hold of that word, that's why used "sunshiny"; don't want to remove sunshiny anyway. "sunshiny"=spreading joy, life, energy--Pournami 05:11, 1 October 2005 (UTC))

The social significance of the novel
example...sunnathu kalyaanam,kaathu kuthu,and much more.(K Damodara Pillai or someone,a noted critic then,harshly criticized the mention of such a religious practice in a novel,in sahithyasahyam(dont remember the name,the discussion forum presided over by M. P. Paul,mentioned in M. P. Paul (memoirs))...And M.P. Paul rebuffed this with a comparison to therandu kalyaanam which was present in many a literature then.

The childhood and the teens should be explained more.

Humour
"The lightness of narrative style disguises an undercurrent of poignance. Even in the moments of utter grief, the author cannot let go of humour. Intense tragedy is dished out as if it were something meant to make the readers laugh." : I know what i mean; don't know how to say it. The greatest sorrows are treated with lightness and good-humouredness; as if it were a trifle: i say this is a speciality of basheer: the saying of the most sorrowful things with the most delightful laughs, or the "o onnumilla athente hridayamayirunnu" sigh. M. P. Paul in essay "kalayum kaalavum" (the only thing he wrote i have with me now) wonders what each great writer would have done if they were born, say a century before their time.. Each of them would have been the originator of this school of literature or that, wrote such-and-so-forth things; etc. finally he comes to basheer: and says: "basheer onnum ezhuthilla: utsavaparambukalil chuttithirurinju soppu, cheepu muthalaayava vakchaaturiyode vittu nadakkunna kachavadakkaran aakumayirikkum." a salesman selling his wares with his gift of the gab. the irony is, he wrote about things more profounder than all the others combined.--Pournami 09:15, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

The Slickee Boys

The Slickee Boys were a Washington, D.C.-area punk-psychedelic-garage rock band whose most-remembered lineup consisted of guitarist Marshall Keith, guitarist Kim Kane, singer Mark Noone and drummer Dan Palenski. The group was named after a GI slang term for the rockabilly-inspired Korean street toughs who sold black market goods to American soldiers.

History
The band was founded in 1976 by guitarists Kim Kane and Marshall Keith, with Kane as principal songwriter, and featured Martha Hull on vocals. The band released its first EP, Hot and Cool, that same year. Separated Vegetables, the group's full-length debut, followed in 1977, but Kane disliked the album's sound to such a degree that he limited the initial pressing to 100 copies.

In 1978, Mark Noone replaced Hull as the singer, with the band reimagining itself through both Noone's showmanship and songwriting. In 1983, a music video for their song "When I Go to the Beach" placed second in MTV's Basement Tapes competition.

In 1988 after a short European Tour, founding member Kim Kane departed to focus on his band Date Bait. The band soldiered on with long-time roadie, John Hansen, taking over on rhythm guitar until they called it quits in 1991.

They hold the record for the most performances at 9:30 Club – 81 shows.

Other work
In the mid 1980s, The Slickee Boys formed their alter ego rockabilly band, The Wanktones. At some venues, including the now-defunct DC club The Wax Museum, The Wanktones "opened" for The Slickee Boys. On their first album released as The Wanktones, "Have a Ball Y'all", the members are listed under the following pseudonyms: Del Marva, Bo Link, Mo Sloe, Ersel Wank, Floyd Glen Bernie, and Elmer Preslee. "Live At The Fontana Bowlarama" was the second album by Wanktones; released in 1999.

In 1977, four members of the Slickee Boys contributed to the debut album "Music to Kill By," by the Afrika Korps.

Awards
They've won several "Wammie" awards from the Washington Area Music Association. In 1989 the band was inducted into the WAMA Hall of Fame
 * 1985 – Record (Single/EP) of the Year, "When I Go to the Beach"
 * 1985 – Video of the Year, "When I Go to the Beach"
 * 1986 – Rock/Pop Artist/Group of the Year
 * 2002 – Rock Recording of the Year, Somewhat of an Anthology

Reunion shows
Starting shortly after the break-up, reunion shows took place most years usually the week between Christmas and New Years, with one show each in Baltimore and D.C. Frequently the line-up changes during the course of the show, with band members taking turns playing on different songs. There have been no reunion shows in the past few years.

Neurofibromatosis type II

Neurofibromatosis type II (also known as MISME syndrome – multiple inherited schwannomas, meningiomas, and ependymomas) is a genetic condition that may be inherited or may arise spontaneously, and causes benign tumors of the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. The types of tumors frequently associated with NF2 include vestibular schwannomas, meningiomas, and ependymomas. The main manifestation of the condition is the development of bilateral benign brain tumors in the nerve sheath of the cranial nerve VIII, which is the "auditory-vestibular nerve" that transmits sensory information from the inner ear to the brain. Besides, other benign brain and spinal tumors occur. Symptoms depend on the presence, localisation and growth of the tumor(s). Many people with this condition also experience vision problems. Neurofibromatosis type II (NF2 or NF II) is caused by mutations of the "Merlin" gene, which seems to influence the form and movement of cells. The principal treatments consist of neurosurgical removal of the tumors and surgical treatment of the eye lesions. Historically the underlying disorder has not had any therapy due to the cell function caused by the genetic mutation.

Classification
NF2 is an inheritable disorder with an autosomal dominant mode of transmission.

There are two forms of the NF2:
 * The Wishart-phenotype form is characterized by multiple cerebral and spinal lesions in people younger than 20 years and with rapid progression of the tumours.
 * People with NF2 who develop single central tumours with slow progression after the age of 20 are thought to have the Feiling–Gardner phenotype.

Symptoms and signs
Symptoms can occur at any age, typically in adolescence and early adulthood, and rarely seen in children, and the severity depends on the location of the tumours. Symptoms include, but are not limited to:
 * Tinnitus
 * Loss/problems of balance
 * Glaucoma
 * Seizures
 * Hearing loss
 * Vision impairment
 * Numbness or weakness in arms and legs

Hearing loss
Because hearing loss in those with NF2 almost always occurs after acquisition of verbal language skills, people with NF2 do not always integrate well into Deaf culture and are more likely to resort to auditory assistive technology. One of these devices is the cochlear implant, which can sometimes restore a high level of auditory function even when natural hearing is totally lost. However, the amount of destruction to the cochlear nerve caused by the typical NF2 schwannoma often precludes the use of such an implant. In these cases, an auditory brainstem implant (ABI) can restore some level of hearing, supplemented by lip reading.

Cause
NF2 is caused by inactivating mutations in the NF2 gene located at 22q12.2 of chromosome 22, type of mutations vary and include protein-truncating alterations (frameshift deletions/insertions and nonsense mutations), splice-site mutations, missense mutations and others. Deletions, too, in the NH2-terminal domain of merlin proteins have been associated with early tumor onset and poor prognosis in people with NF2. Protein truncating mutations correlate with more severe phenotype. There is a broad clinical spectrum known, but all people with the condition who have been checked have been found to have some mutation of the same gene on chromosome 22. Through statistics, it is suspected that one-half of cases are inherited, and one-half are the result of new, de novo mutations.

Cause loss of hearing
The hearing loss caused by NF2 is gradual and results from the presences of bilateral cochleovestibular schwannomas, also known as acoustic neuromas, which damage to cochlear nerve causing hearing loss. Hearing loss may also result from benign tumors that grow on the vestibular and auditory nerves, which lead to the inner ear.

Pathogenesis
NF2 is caused by a defect in the gene that normally gives rise to a product called Merlin or Schwannomin, located on chromosome 22 band q11-13.1. Merlin was first discovered as a structural protein functioning as an actin cytoskeleton regulator. Later merlin's tumour suppressant role was described. Merlin regulates multiple proliferative signalling cascades such as receptor tyrosine kinase signalling, p21-activated kinase signalling, Ras signalling, MEK-ERK cascade, MST-YAP cascade. In a normal cell, the concentrations of active (dephosphorylated) merlin are controlled by processes such as cell adhesion (which would indicate the need to restrain cell division). It has been shown that Merlin inhibits Rac1 which is crucial for cell motility and tumour invasion. Also, merlin's interaction with cyclin D was described. It is known that Merlin's deficiency can result in unmediated progression through the cell cycle due to the lack of contact-mediated tumour suppression, mainly because of the cell:cell junction disruption, sufficient to result in the tumors characteristic of Neurofibromatosis type II. Recent studies showed that besides its cytoskeletal and cytoplasmic functions Merlin also translocates to the nucleus and suppresses proliferation by inhibiting E3 ubiquitin ligase CRL4(DCAF1). Finally, most recent studies indicated that Merlin also plays important role in energy metabolism regulation. Mutations of NF2 is presumed to result in either a failure to synthesize Merlin or the production of a defective peptide that lacks the normal tumor-suppressive effect. The Schwannomin-peptide consists of 595 amino acids. Comparison of Schwannomin with other proteins shows similarities to proteins that connect the cytoskeleton to the cell membrane. Mutations in the Schwannomin-gene are thought to alter the movement and shape of affected cells with loss of contact inhibition. Ependymomas are tumors arising from the ependyma, an epithelium-like tissue of the central nervous system. In people with NF2 and ependymomas, the tumor suppressant function of Merlin may be compromised. Loss of function mutations occurring in chromosome 22q, where Merlin proteins are coded, can promote tumorigenesis, or the creation of new tumorous cells. Deletions, too, in the NH2-terminal domain of merlin proteins have been associated with early tumor onset and poor prognosis in affected people.

Pathology
The so-called acoustic neuroma of NF2 is in fact a schwannoma of the nervus vestibularis, or vestibular schwannoma. The misnomer of acoustic neuroma is still often used. The vestibular schwannomas grow slowly at the inner entrance of the internal auditory meatus (meatus acousticus internus). They derive from the nerve sheaths of the upper part of the nervus vestibularis in the region between the central and peripheral myelin (Obersteiner-Redlich-Zone) within the area of the porus acousticus, 1 cm from the brainstem.

Genotype–phenotype correlation
Many people with NF2 were included in studies that were designed to compare disease type and progression with exact determination of the associated mutation. The goal of such comparisons of genotype and phenotype is to determine whether specific mutations cause respective combinations of symptoms. This would be extremely valuable for the prediction of disease progression and the planning of therapy starting at a young age. The results of such studies are the following: These results suggest that other factors (environment, other mutations) will probably determine the clinical outcome.
 * In most cases the mutation in the NF2 gene causes shortened peptides.
 * There are no mutational hot spots.
 * People with frameshift mutations or nonsense mutations have poor prognosis.
 * People with missense mutations have a better prognosis.
 * In cases with mutations in the splice-acceptor-region, there is no good correlation to determine.
 * Point mutations may have only minor effects.
 * Cases are published in which exactly the same mutation is associated with clearly different outcomes.

Diagnosis
NF2 is a genetically transmitted condition. Diagnosis is most common in early adulthood (20–30 years); however, it can be diagnosed earlier. NF2 can be diagnosed due to the presence of a bilateral vestibular schwannoma, or an acoustic neuroma, which causes a hearing loss that may begin unilaterally. If a patient does not meet this criterion of diagnosis, they must have a family history of NF2, and present with a unilateral vestibular schwannoma and other associated tumors (cranial meningioma, cranial nerve schwannoma, spinal meningioma, spinal ependymomas, peripheral nerve tumor, spinal schwannoma, subcutaneous tumor, skin plaque). This being said, more than half of all patients diagnosed with NF2 do not have a family history of the condition. Although it has yet to be included into clinical classification, peripheral neuropathy, or damage to the peripheral nerves, which often causes weakness, numbness and pain in the hands and feet, may also lead to a diagnosis of NF2. In children, NF2 can present with similar symptoms, but generally causes "visual disturbances (cataracts, hamartomas), skin tumors, mononeuropathhy (facial paresis, drop foot), symptomatic spinal cord tumors, or non-vestibular intracranial tumors".

Prenatal
Bilateral vestibular schwannomas are diagnostic of NF2.

Postnatal
Ferner et al. give three sets of diagnostic criteria for NF2:
 * 1) Bilateral vestibular schwannoma (VS) or family history of NF2 plus Unilateral VS or any two of: meningioma, glioma, neurofibroma, schwannoma, posterior subcapsular lenticular opacities
 * 2) Unilateral VS plus any two of meningioma, glioma, neurofibroma, schwannoma, posterior subcapsular lenticular opacities
 * 3) Two or more meningioma plus unilateral VS or any two of glioma, schwannoma and cataract.

Another set of diagnostic criteria is the following:
 * Detection of bilateral acoustic neuroma by imaging-procedures
 * First degree relative with NF2 and the occurrence of neurofibroma, meningiomas, glioma, or Schwannoma
 * First degree relative with NF2 and the occurrence of juvenile posterior subcapsular cataract.

The criteria have varied over time. The last revision of the NF2 criteria was done by M.J. Smith in 2017. This included the consideration of a LZTR1 mutation (schwannomatosis) instead of NF2 and excluded bilateral vestibular schwannomas that occur after 70 years of age.

Surgery
There are several different surgical techniques for the removal of acoustic neuroma. The choice of approach is determined by size of the tumour, hearing capability, and general clinical condition of the person.
 * The retrosigmoid approach offers some opportunity for the retention of hearing.
 * The translabyrinthine approach will sacrifice hearing on that side, but will usually spare the facial nerve. Post-operative cerebrospinal fluid leaks are more common.
 * The middle fossa approach is preferred for small tumors and offers the highest probability of retention of hearing and vestibular function.
 * Less invasive endoscopic techniques have been done outside of the United States for some time. Recovery times are reported to be faster. However, this technique is not yet mainstream among surgeons in the US.

Larger tumors can be treated by either the translabyrinthine approach or the retrosigmoid approach, depending upon the experience of the surgical team. With large tumors, the chance of hearing preservation is small with any approach. When hearing is already poor, the translabyrinthine approach may be used for even small tumors. Small, lateralized tumours in people with NF2 with good hearing should have the middle fossa approach. When the location of the tumour is more medial a retrosigmoid approach may be better.

Auditory canal decompression is another surgical technique that can prolong usable hearing when a vestibular schwannoma has grown too large to remove without damage to the cochlear nerve. In the IAC (internal auditory canal) decompression, a middle fossa approach is employed to expose the bony roof of the IAC without any attempt to remove the tumor. The bone overlying the acoustic nerve is removed, allowing the tumour to expand upward into the middle cranial fossa. In this way, pressure on the cochlear nerve is relieved, reducing the risk of further hearing loss from direct compression or obstruction of vascular supply to the nerve.

Radiosurgery is a conservative alternative to cranial base or other intracranial surgery. With conformal radiosurgical techniques, therapeutic radiation focused on the tumour, sparing exposure to surrounding normal tissues. Although radiosurgery can seldom completely destroy a tumor, it can often arrest its growth or reduce its size. While radiation is less immediately damaging than conventional surgery, it incurs a higher risk of subsequent malignant change in the irradiated tissues, and this risk is higher in NF2 than in sporadic (non-NF2) lesions.

Medications
There are no prescription medicines currently indicated for reduction in tumor burden for NF2 patients, although in patient studies Bevacizumab has resulted in reduction in tumor growth rates and hearing improvements in some patients.

Treatment hearing loss
As hearing loss in individuals with NF2 is generally gradual, eventually profound and sensorineural, the best options for treatment for hearing loss are cochlear implants and auditory brainstem implants (ABIs), as well as supplementing hearing with lip-reading, cued speech or sign language.

Cochlear Implants
A cochlear implant is an electronic device that is surgically implants to stimulate the cochlear nerve. Cochlear implants will work only when the cochleovestibular nerve (8th nerve) and the cochlea are still functioning. In a study done with open-set speech perception testing and closed-set speech perception testing by Neff et al., they discovered that the use of cochlear implants with NF2 patients allowed significant improvement of hearing abilities. In testing of recognition of sentences of everyday speech, five out of six patients scored within the 90–100% range, and in testing of hearing in noise setting, four of six of the patients scored within the 83–96%. Additionally, all testing was done without lip-reading.

Auditory Brainstem Implants (ABIs)
Auditory Brainstem Implants, or ABIs, are used when the cochlea or any portion of the cochleovestibular nerve are not functioning due to damage to those areas or anatomic abnormalities. The procedure is done by implanting a device that send an electrical signal directly to the cochlear nucleus, allowing sound to bypass the peripheral auditory system and straight into the brain stem.

Prognosis
NF2 is a life limiting condition. It is a rare genetic disorder that involves noncancerous tumors of the nerves that transmit balance and sound impulses from the inner ear to the brain. The prognosis is affected by early age onset, a higher number of meningiomas and schwannomas and having a decrease in mutation.

An early diagnosis is the best way to ensure improvement in management. Although, even with an early diagnosis, some patients still die very young.

Meningiomas and schwannomas occur in around half of patients with NF2. Meningiomas are tumors that are both intracranial and intraspinal. Schwannomas are tumors that are often centered on the internal auditory canal. Patients with NF2 who have meningiomas have a higher risk of mortality, and the treatment can be very challenging. Individuals who develop schwannomas frequently develop hearing loss and deafness. These individuals may also develop tinnitus after being presented with unilateral hearing loss. The first symptom that individuals may encounter is dizziness or imbalance.

Truncating mutations lead to smaller and non-functional protein products. Studies have shown that missense mutations and large deletions can both cause predominantly mild phenotypes. Phenotype is more variable in patients with splice-site mutations, and a milder disease in patients with mutations in exons 9–15. Patients with a missense mutation have a greater survival rate than nonsense and frameshift mutations.

Prevalence
Incidence of the condition is about 1 in 60,000.

It is located on the east side of Lake Koocanusa, below the mouth of the Elk River, and to the southeast of the city of Cranbrook, and 15 km north of the Canada–United States border and the state of Montana. The city of Fernie is located nearby farther up the Elk River.

There are 150 people living in Grasmere, and the most of them work in the adjacent mining, agricultural, or forestry sectors. Grasmere is located within the Galton mountain range of the Canadian Rockies. The area is served by one school, Grasmere Elementary School. The name of the community was provided by a student, Warren Lancaster, in a competition in the early 20th century. It is named after the town of Grasmere in northern England's Lake District.

Climate
Grasmere has a warm summer humid continental climate, [Köppen Dfb]
