The Kalvan series is a series of science fiction novels started by H. Beam Piper and continued by his authority John F. Carr, about a Pennsylvania police officer who is transported to an alternate world. The series is part of Piper's Paratime series and features many of the characters from that series. The police officer, Calvin Morrison, is picked up by a "cross-time flying saucer" (really a Paratime conveyor) and dropped off in an alternate Pennsylvania where "Aryans" (speakers of Indo-European languages) migrated east across Asia and the Pacific Ocean and arrived in North America. This is different from the real world, where they moved west into Europe. | Kalvan series | 2024-04-15T20:29:29 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalvan_series# | 162 | {

The Kalvan series consists of eight books: | Kalvan series | Books | 2024-04-15T20:29:29 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalvan_series#Books | 17 | {

The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction says of the Paratime and Kalvan series, "Lord Kalvan of Otherwhen remains the most successful and enjoyable of all these tales." Joseph Major noted that upon the publication of Lord Kalvan of Otherwhen, "Fans were gratified to see Piper returning to his established "Paratime" series". He notes the passing of the author and the 20-year break between books, calling The Great Kings' War "the long hoped-for sequel and continuation" of the previous installment. | Kalvan series | Reception and analysis | 2024-04-15T20:29:29 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalvan_series#Reception%20and%20analysis | 131 | {

In a review of the later book, Siege of Tarr-Hostigos, Don D'Ammassa notes that "Carr and Green have expanded on [Piper's] original work, giving greater depth to the world and peopling it with believable, if not always likeable, characters." | Kalvan series | Reception and analysis | 2024-04-15T20:29:29 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalvan_series#Reception%20and%20analysis | 78 | {

Noting the prior change in authorship, of Kalvan Kingmaker, Stephen H Silver notes "Carr does an excellent job of capturing Piper's style and stories in his world." Silver notes that due to the previous installment Great Kings' War being out of print for over a decade, Carr focuses heavily on "providing some of the information readers need in order to follow the labyrinthine plots in the novel," also noting that the novel feels much like a middle book of a series. D'Ammassa says the book is "a story of intrigue and war that doesn't involve as much of the paratime police as I expected," noting the entertainment value from a science-fiction perspective. | Kalvan series | Reception and analysis | 2024-04-15T20:29:29 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalvan_series#Reception%20and%20analysis | 169 | {

Calvin Morrison is a state trooper of the Pennsylvania State Police who is accidentally picked up by a cross-time flying saucer (a Paratime conveyor) and carried to another timeline. Calvin's father was a Presbyterian minister who pressured him into joining the ministry, but his academic interests focused on history, particularly military history. At the outbreak of the Korean War, he left his studies and joined the Army, later joining the Pennsylvania State Police and rising to the rank of corporal. On May 19, 1964, Calvin was approaching a building containing a suspect when he stumbled into a "cross-time flying saucer" and was carried into another timeline. In the terminology of the First Level, Calvin was carried from the Fourth Level, Europo-American, Hispano-Columbian sub-sector to the Fourth Level, Aryan-Transpacific, Styphon's House sub-sector. | Kalvan series | Kalvan (Calvin Morrison) | 2024-04-15T20:29:29 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalvan_series#Kalvan%20%28Calvin%20Morrison%29 | 222 | {
"language": "en",
"type": "text"
} |
After stumbling out of the conveyor, Calvin found himself in a world that looked like the Pennsylvania that he knew, but had notable differences, particularly old-growth forest (he knew that the area was clear-cut in the past). Initially thinking that he was transported into the far future, he then realized that nearby mountains had obviously not been quarried. | Kalvan series | Kalvan (Calvin Morrison) | 2024-04-15T20:29:29 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalvan_series#Kalvan%20%28Calvin%20Morrison%29 | 98 | {

Calvin eventually finds some nearby peasants who feed him, but a large raiding party attacks the settlement, with Calvin being instrumental in saving the villagers. Reinforcements later arrive, although in the confusion he is shot by a beautiful young woman leading them, although the bullet hits his police badge, saving his life (albeit with injuries). While recuperating, he gradually learns the local language and situation, learning that he is in the Princedom of Hostigos, part of the larger Great Kingdom of Hos-Harphax, which is being threatened by the neighboring princedoms of Nostor and Sask. The woman leading the reinforcements was Rylla, the daughter of Prince Ptosphes, the ruler of Hostigos. The locals, who refer to themselves as the Zarthani and do not use surnames, and pronounce "Calvin" as Kalvan, the name by which he is referred for the remainder of the series. | Kalvan series | Kalvan (Calvin Morrison) | 2024-04-15T20:29:29 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalvan_series#Kalvan%20%28Calvin%20Morrison%29 | 230 | {

} |
Kalvan learns that Hostigos has very little gunpowder (known as fireseed locally) because the princedom had been cut off from the material by the priests of Styphon, a local god that has a monopoly on the knowledge and production of fireseed. However, due to his history background, Kalvan knows the formula for creating gunpowder and demonstrates how to manufacture it for Ptosphes, Rylla, and the other local leaders, developing a recipe that proves significantly more powerful than "Styphon's Best" being sold to the other princedoms. Using this knowledge Hostigos begins manufacturing an independent, local supply of fireseed, and Kalvan is able to help the princedom push back the attacks by Nostor and Sask, eventually forming a new, independent kingdom of Hos-Hostigos. | Kalvan series | Kalvan (Calvin Morrison) | 2024-04-15T20:29:29 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalvan_series#Kalvan%20%28Calvin%20Morrison%29 | 202 | {

} |
Prince Ptosphes is the prince of Hostigos. Facing the impending conquest of his princedom by his neighbors, he embraces the knowledge that Kalvan brings, particularly the production of fireseed. He persuades Kalvan that the other princes would never support one of their own equals becoming king of Hos-Hostigos, and that Kalvan must become the new king. Ptosphes becomes a trusted advisor to Kalvan throughout the series.
Rylla is the daughter of Ptosphes and future wife of Kalvan. An only child, she was trained in military tactics and led the reinforcements to ward off the attack by Nostori raiders that led to her shooting and nearly killing Kalvan.
Prince Sarrask is the prince of Sask, a neighboring princedoms that, along with Nostor, are threatening Hostigos on the eve of Kalvan's arrival. Following his defeat at the end of Lord Kalvan of Otherwhen, he joins the new kingdom of Hos-Hostigos and later becomes a stalwart supporter of Kalvan.
Verkan Vall is a Paratime Police officer who leads the investigation into Kalvan's unintentional transportation across timelines. Although he is able to determine that Kalvan certainly has deduced what happened to him, he also finds that Kalvan has developed a cover story for his arrival and deduces that he is unlikely to reveal the Paratime secret to anyone else. | Kalvan series | Other characters | 2024-04-15T20:29:29 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalvan_series#Other%20characters | 338 | {

The Zarthani are a group of Indo-European descendants who speak a language which belongs to a branch of Indo-European unattested in our timeline, but which has some superficial resemblances to ancient Greek in sounds and word-endings (but not in grammar). The words for "father" and "mother" in Zarthani are phadros and mavra (from Proto-Indo-European *ph₂tḗr and *méh₂tēr). The Zarthani are the inhabitants of the five Great Kingdoms. | Kalvan series | Zarthani | 2024-04-15T20:29:29 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalvan_series#Zarthani | 134 | {

The Urgothi are a race of proto-Germans. A thousand years after the arrival of the Ros-Zarthani, the Urgothi arrived from the Cold Lands. They found the coastal areas settled by the Ros-Zarthani and so they moved east and south into the Sea of Grass (the Great Plains) and near the Great River (the Mississippi River). The Urgothi created the Middle Kingdoms, including Grefftscharr. | Kalvan series | Urgothi | 2024-04-15T20:29:29 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalvan_series#Urgothi | 110 | {

The Ruthani are the real world Native Americans. They are considered barbarians by the Zarthani, who virtually exterminated the Eastern Ruthani when they arrived in the area to become the Great Kingdoms. | Kalvan series | Ruthani | 2024-04-15T20:29:29 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalvan_series#Ruthani | 55 | {

The North American Atlantic coast is the location of the Great Kingdoms. These kingdoms are inhabited by the Zarthani and are the main location of the series. Originally there were five Great Kingdoms (Hos-Zygros, Hos-Agrys, Hos-Harphax, Hos-Ktemnos, and Hos-Bletha), but at the end of Lord Kalvan of Otherwhen, the new Great Kingdom of Hos-Hostigos is formed. Part way through the series, Kalvan also recognizes a seventh Great Kingdom, Hos-Rathon. Neither Hos-Hostigos nor Hos-Rathon are recognized by any of the other Great Kingdoms. | Kalvan series | Great Kingdoms | 2024-04-15T20:29:29 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalvan_series#Great%20Kingdoms | 158 | {

} |
Another Zarthani political entity outside the framework of the Great Kingdoms is Trygath, in the Ohio valley. The Ohio River was not along the Zarthani eastwards migration routes, and Trygath is a semi-barbarous area known for its horse-breeding, and not considered Hos or "Great". | Kalvan series | Great Kingdoms | 2024-04-15T20:29:29 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalvan_series#Great%20Kingdoms | 83 | {

Hos-Hostigos was formed by Kalvan from the former Harphaxi princedoms of Hostigos (also known as Old Hostigos), Nostor, Sask, Beshta, Nyklos, and Ulthor, along with a new princedom of Sashta. Due to the unilateral nature of the kingdom's establishment, it is not recognized as a Great Kingdom by any other kingdoms. Kalvan began a rapid modernization plan of the kingdom's armies (including attempting to replace pikemen with musketeers), as well as infrastructure improvements such as the Great Kings' Highway, a two-lane stone road running through the kingdom. The flag of Hos-Hostigos is decreed to be a red keystone (the symbol of Calvin Morrison's native Pennsylvania) on a dark green field. | Kalvan series | Hos-Hostigos | 2024-04-15T20:29:29 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalvan_series#Hos-Hostigos | 197 | {

The princedom of Hostigos, also known as Old Hostigos, is the first princedom of the kingdom of Hos-Hostigos founded by Kalvan. At the time of Kalvan's arrival, Hostigos consisted of all of Centre County, southern Clinton County, and Lycoming County, Pennsylvania south of Bald Eagle Mountain and was ruled by Prince Ptosphes. Its flag is a blue halberd-head on a red field. After Kalvan married Ptosphes' daughter Rylla, Kalvan became heir to Old Hostigos. | Kalvan series | Hostigos | 2024-04-15T20:29:29 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalvan_series#Hostigos | 130 | {

Hostigos' capital (and the capital of Hos-Hostigos) is Hostigos Town (soon to become Hostigos City, built on the site of real-world Bellefonte, Pennsylvania). Notable castles include Tarr-Hostigos, the home of Prince Ptosphes, which defends Hostigos Town. | Kalvan series | Hostigos | 2024-04-15T20:29:29 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalvan_series#Hostigos | 77 | {

Sask, consisting of Blair and parts of Clearfield, Huntingdon, and Bedford Counties in Pennsylvania, is one of Old Hostigos' former enemies ruled by the gluttonous Prince Sarrask. After the extremely bloody Battle of Fyk and the capture of Sarrask, Sask becomes an important tool in Kalvan's war against Styphon's House. Sask's capital is Sask Town (on the site of real-world Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania), and its flag is a golden-rayed sun on a green field. | Kalvan series | Sask | 2024-04-15T20:29:29 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalvan_series#Sask | 134 | {

} |
To the north-east of Hostigos, Nostor — consisting of Tioga and parts of Northumberland, Lycoming, and Montour counties to the forks of the Susquehanna — is another one of Old Hostigos' former enemies. At the time of Kalvan's arrival, Nostor was ruled by the cruel Prince Gormoth and was to be the main arm of the Styphon's House attack on Hostigos. The reformed Hostigi forces under Kalvan's guidance defeated the Nostori army and invaded the princedom, leading to a brief civil war within Nostor. The new prince, Prince Pheblon, agrees to join Hos-Hostigos. Nostor's capital is Nostor Town (near real-world Hughesville, Pennsylvania), and its flag is an orange lily on a black field. | Kalvan series | Nostor | 2024-04-15T20:29:29 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalvan_series#Nostor | 200 | {

Beshta is located in the Besh (Juniata) River Valley, south-east of Old Hostigos and was ruled by Prince Baltar when Kalvan arrived in Hostigos. Its colors are black and pale yellow. The princedom of Sashta was created out of eastern Sask, western Beshta, and southern Hostigos by order of King Kalvan as a means of keeping Balthar's brother, Balthames from causing any trouble or from wielding any real power. Nyklos is located north-west of Old Hostigos and consists of Potter and McKean County, Pennsylvania. Nyklos is ruled by Prince Armanes and a truly voluntarily princedom of the new kingdom of Hos-Hostigos. | Kalvan series | Other princedoms | 2024-04-15T20:29:29 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalvan_series#Other%20princedoms | 172 | {

Ulthor is a voluntary princedom of Hos-Hostigos and is located in the north-western corner of Hos-Hostigos and contains the only port in the kingdom (real world Erie). | Kalvan series | Other princedoms | 2024-04-15T20:29:29 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalvan_series#Other%20princedoms | 57 | {

Hos-Harphax is the original Great Kingdom of the princedoms that joined to form Hos-Hostigos. Hos-Harphax is one of the older Great Kingdoms and was created when the trading city of Harphax City at the mouth of the Susquehanna River began to exert its influence on the other cities, towns, and villages upstream from Harphax City. At the beginning of the Kalvan series, Hos-Harphax includes the territory of real-world Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, and southern New Jersey, and is ruled by Great King Kaiphranos, who dies in Kalvan Kingmaker. | Kalvan series | Hos-Harphax | 2024-04-15T20:29:29 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalvan_series#Hos-Harphax | 152 | {

Hos-Ktemnos has one of the best militaries in the Great Kingdoms, consisting of the Sacred Squares. Hos-Ktemnos is located in Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina and is the site of the city of Balph, the headquarters of Styphon's House. Hos-Bletha is the southernmost Great Kingdom (consisting of real world Florida and Georgia) and was originally a part of Hos-Ktemnos. Hos-Agrys is based in New York state, northern New Jersey, and southwestern Quebec, with its capital at Agrys City (Manhattan Island). Hos-Zygros includes New England, most of Quebec, and part of eastern Ontario. The capital, Zygros City, is on the site of the real-world city of Quebec. | Kalvan series | Other kingdoms | 2024-04-15T20:29:29 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalvan_series#Other%20kingdoms | 196 | {

The Holy Order of the Zarthani Knights is one of the two military arms of Styphon's House. The Knights defend the Great Kingdoms of Hos-Ktemnos and Hos-Bletha from the barbarians of the Sastragath. The Knights are similar to the real world's crusading orders. The Knights are divided up into Lances, which are then combined into Wedges. | Kalvan series | Holy Order of the Zarthani Knights | 2024-04-15T20:29:29 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalvan_series#Holy%20Order%20of%20the%20Zarthani%20Knights | 111 | {

The Great Kings' War is the war between Great King Kalvan and Styphon's House. The war also involves the pro-Styphon Great Kingdoms of Hos-Harphax and Hos-Ktemnos and the Pro-Kalvan/Anti-Styphon forces of Hos-Rathon and the Urgothi "barbarians" led by Warlord Ranjar Sargos. The war is to some extent a continuation of the Hostigos War of Unification (shown in Lord Kalvan of Otherwhen).

Maurice "Mossy" or "Mossie" Enright (died February 2, 1920) was an Irish-American gangster and one of the earliest Chicago labor racketeers in the early 20th century. Little is known of Maurice Enright's background before his gang's violent and brutal methods managed to dominate Chicago's labor unions by the end of the 19th century. A veteran of the "Circulation Wars," he became a major figure in the city's steamfitters' union during the early 1910s and was instrumental in the rise of Johnny Torrio, who provided Enright with invaluable political protection from Chicago's First Ward vice district Aldermen "Bathhouse" John Couglin and Michael "Hinky Dink" Kenna. | Maurice Enright | 2024-04-27T00:10:59 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maurice_Enright# | 177 | {

Hatchet man (idiom), a slang term for someone who was brought in to a situation to perform distasteful tasks

Enright remained in control of the city's labor unions into the early months of Prohibition until his death on February 2, 1920, when he was gunned down near his South Side home (most likely by rival Timothy "Big Tim" Murphy or Johnny Torrio and Al Capone. Enright's death occurred shortly before the death of James "Big Jim" Colosimo). Although Vincent Cosmano was later arrested and eventually acquitted for the murder, only labor union racketeer James Vinci would be convicted of Enright's murder. | Maurice Enright | 2024-04-27T00:10:59 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maurice_Enright# | 132 | {

Arch Allies is a live album recorded by REO Speedwagon and Styx at Riverport Amphitheatre (now Hollywood Casino Amphitheater) in Maryland Heights, Missouri, a suburb of St. Louis. It was released on September 26, 2000, by Sanctuary Records, and a single DVD was also released on November 7, 2000. Each band also released single live albums containing only their own tracks from this album. This includes songs cut from the combined release. The Styx songs were released alone as At the River's Edge: Live in St. Louis (also including the songs "Everything Is Cool" and "Lorelei") and the REO Speedwagon songs (including "Keep Pushin'", "Tough Guys" and "That Ain't Love") were released as Live Plus and Extended Versions. | Arch Allies: Live at Riverport | 2023-09-06T09:27:02 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arch_Allies:_Live_at_Riverport# | 199 | {

According to REO Speedwagon vocalist/rhythm guitarist Kevin Cronin, the tour sampled on the album was the first time REO Speedwagon and Styx had ever played together, and "We hit it off so well, we ended up putting on a double live CD together. It’s just been a tremendous synergy between the bands on a personal level and on a musical level as well. Tommy Shaw and I have become really good friends." | Arch Allies: Live at Riverport | Background | 2023-09-06T09:27:02 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arch_Allies:_Live_at_Riverport#Background | 113 | {

Allmusic gave the video release a rave review, opining that both bands gave strong performances and gel together "surprisingly well" in the collaborative jam which ends the album. The review especially praised the performances of new Styx members Glen Burtnik, Todd Sucherman, and Lawrence Gowan, comparing the Styx lineup favorably to that of the band's commercial heyday. | Arch Allies: Live at Riverport | Reception | 2023-09-06T09:27:02 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arch_Allies:_Live_at_Riverport#Reception | 104 | {

The DVD of the show omits "The Grand Illusion" from the Styx set and "Roll With The Changes" from the REO Speedwagon set (although the jam version with Styx is still present at the end). | Arch Allies: Live at Riverport | REO Speedwagon | 2023-09-06T09:27:02 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arch_Allies:_Live_at_Riverport#REO%20Speedwagon | 69 | {

Snyder (also known as M.B. Snyder) is among the earliest born actors to appear in motion pictures and at his death the oldest actor in movies. Snyder was born when Andrew Jackson was President and died when Woodrow Wilson was President. | Matt B.

During the Civil War Snyder served in the Union Navy and was a gunner on the USS Essex at Vicksburg. In the Victorian and Edwardian eras Snyder and his wife performed on the stage, sometimes on Broadway and much in touring companies as was the norm before motion pictures. In film he had an important role in the 1913 King Baggot Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. His last film was The Crisis, a film by novelist Winston Churchill about the Civil War which he did not live to see released. The Crisis is a surviving film at the Library of Congress and Snyder can be seen in this role in a still photo in Daniel Blum's Pictorial History of the Silent Screen with his young costar Marshall Neilan. | Matt B.

Sahale Mountain is a jagged, glaciated mountain, in North Cascades National Park, in northern Washington state. The summit of Sahale Mountain is referred to as Sahale Peak. It is 0.3 miles (0.48 km) south of its higher neighbor, Boston Peak, and the saddle between the two is 80 feet (24 m) lower than Sahale's summit. Quien Sabe Glacier is to the west of the ridge between the two peaks while Davenport Glacier is in a cirque east of this ridge and above Horseshoe Basin. Sahale Glacier is south of the summit and east of Sahale Arm, a ridge that extends southwest from Sahale to Cascade Pass. The name Sahale may originate from a Northwest Native American word meaning "high place," "falcon," or "sacred." | Sahale Mountain | 2024-01-06T21:29:45 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sahale_Mountain# | 195 | {

Sahale Peak is noted for its panoramic views and is popular among mountaineers. The least technical route follows the Sahale Arm from the Cascade Pass Trail to the Sahale Glacier. From the glacier there is a class 3–4 climb to the summit. Another option is to traverse from the Sahale Arm onto the Quien Sabe Glacier and climb the glacier to the rock ridge north of the peak. The climb up this ridge is also class 3–4 but crosses some loose rock and is more exposed. Cascade Pass and the Sahale Arm can be reached from Marblemount to the west or from the east, it is accessible via a trail, from Stehekin, up the Stehekin River valley. | Sahale Mountain | Climbing | 2024-01-06T21:29:45 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sahale_Mountain#Climbing | 175 | {

Mites in the suborder Desmonomata are thought to have been reproducing exclusively by parthenogenesis for a very long time. All individuals of Archegozetes longisetosus are female and clutches of two to thirty eggs are laid every few days with the reproductive rate averaging 1.3 eggs per day. There are six developmental stages, a prelarval and a larval stage, three nymphal stages and an adult stage. | Archegozetes longisetosus | Reproduction | 2022-12-05T02:04:24 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archegozetes_longisetosus#Reproduction | 117 | {

Sahale is located in the marine west coast climate zone of western North America. Most weather fronts originate in the Pacific Ocean, and travel northeast toward the Cascade Mountains. As fronts approach the North Cascades, they are forced upward by the peaks of the Cascade Range, causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall onto the Cascades (Orographic lift). As a result, the west side of the North Cascades experiences high precipitation, especially during the winter months in the form of snowfall. During winter months, weather is usually cloudy, but, due to high pressure systems over the Pacific Ocean that intensify during summer months, there is often little or no cloud cover during the summer. | Sahale Mountain | Climate | 2024-01-06T21:29:45 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sahale_Mountain#Climate | 168 | {

Oribatid mites differ from other chelicerate animals such as spiders by the fact that they feed on food particles which they digest internally rather than fluid food digested externally. In a feeding experiment, specimens of Archegozetes longisetosus were offered algae Protococcus sp. scraped from tree bark, two fungi, Stachybotrys sp. and Alternaria sp., and some filter papers made of cellulose-rich wood fibres. They fed preferentially on the algae and also consumed the Alternaria but rejected the Stachybotrys and the filter papers. After about ten days they started to secrete chitinase but did not develop cellulase enzymes to break down cellulose under any of the experimental treatments. | Archegozetes longisetosus | Food | 2022-12-05T02:04:24 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archegozetes_longisetosus#Food | 185 | {

The North Cascades features some of the most rugged topography in the Cascade Range with craggy peaks and ridges, deep glacial valleys, and granite spires. Geological events occurring many years ago created the diverse topography and drastic elevation changes over the Cascade Range leading to various climate differences. The history of the formation of the Cascade Mountains dates back millions of years ago to the late Eocene Epoch. With the North American Plate overriding the Pacific Plate, episodes of volcanic igneous activity persisted. In addition, small fragments of the oceanic and continental lithosphere called terranes created the North Cascades about 50 million years ago. | Sahale Mountain | Geology | 2024-01-06T21:29:45 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sahale_Mountain#Geology | 165 | {

During the Pleistocene period dating back over two million years ago, glaciation advancing and retreating repeatedly scoured the landscape leaving deposits of rock debris. The U-shaped cross section of the river valleys is a result of recent glaciation. Uplift and faulting in combination with glaciation have been the dominant processes which have created the tall peaks and deep valleys of the North Cascades area. | Sahale Mountain | Geology | 2024-01-06T21:29:45 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sahale_Mountain#Geology | 102 | {

Small rove beetles of the family Staphylinidae live among the leaf litter and largely feed on mites. Archegozetes longisetosus seems to have a chemical defence against being eaten as it has a pair of large oil glands on its abdomen. It was found that the beetles would eat mites from which the oil glands had been removed but would not eat intact specimens. | Archegozetes longisetosus | Predators | 2022-12-05T02:04:24 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archegozetes_longisetosus#Predators | 108 | {

Researchers have found that the pulling strength of the 1 mm (0.04 in) Archegozetes longisetosus equals about 1,180 times its own weight, five times more than might be expected for an animal of this size. As this study was the first to measure the claw forces of mites, other species could well have stronger pulling forces. Archegozetes longisetosus has been used as a model organism for studies in chelicerate morphology, function, behaviour and evolution because of its short life cycle and the ease with which it can be cultured in the laboratory. All the mites of this species used in laboratories around the world are descended from one female collected from the wild in 1993. | Archegozetes longisetosus | Use as model organism | 2022-12-05T02:04:24 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archegozetes_longisetosus#Use%20as%20model%20organism | 175 | {

The Singapore Writers Festival is a literary event organised by the National Arts Council. Inaugurated in 1986, the festival serves a dual function of promoting new and emerging Singaporean and Asian writing to an international audience, as well as presenting foreign writers to Singaporeans. SWF has hosted Singaporean writers Meira Chand, Cyril Wong, Suchen Christine Lim and You Jin, as well as international writers such as Steven Levitt, Michael Chabon, Neil Gaiman, Bi Feiyu, David Mitchell, Bei Dao, F. Sionil Jose, Taichi Yamada, Andrew Motion, Alexis Wright and Marc Smith. To date, it remains one of the few literary festivals in the world that is multi-lingual, celebrating works in Singapore’s official languages – English, Malay, Chinese and Tamil. | Singapore Writers Festival | 2023-02-19T17:57:11 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singapore_Writers_Festival# | 197 | {

In 1986, Singapore Writers’ Week started as part of the Singapore Festival of Arts that focuses on the merit of the literary arts. In 1991, the Singapore Writers’ Week was renamed as Singapore Writers Festival and was also presented outside the Festival of Arts as recognition and awareness for literary arts in Singapore grew. The festival was held biannually. The festival has traditionally been organised by the National Arts Council (NAC). However, since 2007, NAC has been working with Arts House Limited, to co-organise the festival. SWF 2007 attracted more than 21,000 attendees. In 2010, Singaporean poet Paul Tan became the first director of the festival and SWF became an annual event from 2011 onwards. SWF 2011 attracted more than 50,000 attendees. | Singapore Writers Festival | History | 2023-02-19T17:57:11 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singapore_Writers_Festival#History | 188 | {

In July 2014, writer Ovidia Yu resigned from the festival's steering committee in protest against the National Library Board's move to pulp children's picturebooks with homosexual themes. NLB is a programme partner of the festival. From November 2015 to November 2018, the festival has been helmed by poet Yeow Kai Chai, who takes over from director Paul Tan. The festival also returned to The Arts House and held its activities in the Empress Place Civic District. Since November 2019, the festival has been led by poet Pooja Nansi, who was also Singapore's first Youth Poet Ambassador. | Singapore Writers Festival | History | 2023-02-19T17:57:11 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singapore_Writers_Festival#History | 144 | {

The Golden Point Award (GPA) started in 1993 and has been organised in conjunction with SWF by the National Arts Council of Singapore. With official sponsorship from SPH and Singapore Press Holdings Foundation in 2009 and 2011, the award was given the additional title of the SPH-NAC Golden Point Award. It is the only national literary writing competition for poetry and short story in Singapore which promotes the art of creative writing in all four languages (English, Malay, Chinese and Tamil). Many past winners are now well-established writers (e.g. Alfian Sa'at, Cyril Wong, Claire Tham, Anuar Othman). | Singapore Writers Festival | Golden Point Award | 2023-02-19T17:57:11 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singapore_Writers_Festival#Golden%20Point%20Award | 156 | {

In its aim to uncover new writing talent in Singapore, a new guideline was introduced in 2007 where only unpublished writers are eligible for the competition. This is also to differentiate SPH-NAC GPA from other literary prizes which focus on published works. While the new rule sparked some debate and attracted due attention, the result was an overall increase in both the number of participants and entries for the competition. Since 1997, the First Prize winners of SPH-NAC GPA have received an Enrichment Grant of up to S$6,000. This aim of this grant is to provide writers with sufficient funds to participate in writing seminars, workshops, literature festivals overseas, or to publish their first solo publication.[citation needed] | Singapore Writers Festival | Golden Point Award | 2023-02-19T17:57:11 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singapore_Writers_Festival#Golden%20Point%20Award | 183 | {

The Adaja is a river of Spain located in the centre of the Iberian Peninsula, a major left-bank tributary of the Douro. Featuring a total length of 163 km, its river basin drains an area of 5,328 km2. It has its source in the so-called Fuente Berroqueña (Villatoro, province of Ávila), near the saddle point between La Serrota [es] and the Sierra de Ávila. Initially following a Southwest-Northeast course through the Amblés Valley, the Adaja bends towards the North in Ávila. It receives the contribution of its most important tributary, the Eresma, near Matapozuelos, emptying in the Douro in the province of Valladolid near the town of Aniago. | Adaja | 2022-07-05T15:31:42 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaja# | 181 | {
