title: History of Kosovo section title: Antiquity hierarchical section title: History of Kosovo / Antiquity caption attribution description: Shqip: BalsamariumEnglish: Balsamarium at Ulpiana This is a photo of a monument in Kosovo, number: 3894 content: The history of Kosovo is intertwined with the histories of its neighbouring regions. The name "Kosovo" is derived from the Kosovo Plain, where the Battle of Kosovo was fought between a coalition of Balkan states and the Ottoman Empire. Kosovo's modern history can be traced to the Ottoman Sanjak of Prizren, of which parts were organised into Kosovo Vilayet in 1877. In antiquity, Dardania covered the area, which formed part of the larger Roman province of Moesia in the 1st century AD. In the Middle Ages, the region became part of the Bulgarian Empire, the Byzantine Empire and the Serbian medieval states. It was then conquered by the Ottoman Empire an exact 70 years after the Battle of Kosovo. In 1913 the Kosovo Vilayet was incorporated into the Kingdom of Serbia, which in 1918 formed Yugoslavia. Kosovo gained autonomy in 1963 under Josip Broz Tito's direction, an autonomy which was significantly extended by Yugoslavia's 1974 Constitution, but lost its autonomous institutions in 1990. In 1999 UNMIK stepped in.
On 17 February 2008 Kosovo's Parliament declared independence, as the Republic of Kosovo, with partial recognition of that declaration.

title: Waikato River section title: Course hierarchical section title: Waikato River / Course caption reference description: Port Waikato, the estuary of the River caption attribution description: En route Wellington to Auckland content: The Waikato River is the longest river in New Zealand, running for 425 kilometres through the North Island. It rises in the eastern slopes of Mount Ruapehu, joining the Tongariro River system and flowing through Lake Taupo, New Zealand's largest lake. It then drains Taupo at the lake's northeastern edge, creates the Huka Falls, and flows northwest through the Waikato Plains. It empties into the Tasman Sea south of Auckland, at Port Waikato. It gives its name to the Waikato region that surrounds the Waikato Plains. The present course of the river was largely formed about 17,000 years ago. Contributing factors were climate warming, forest being reestablished in the river headwaters and the deepening, rather than widening, of the existing river channel. The channel was gradually eroded as far up river as Piarere, leaving the old Hinuera channel through the Hinuera Gap high and dry. The remains of the old river path can be clearly seen at Hinuera where the cliffs mark the ancient river edges. The river's main tributary is the Waipa River, which has its confluence with the Waikato at Ngāruawāhia.
The name Waikato comes from the Māori language and translates as flowing water.

title: Fault block hierarchical section title: Fault block caption reference description: The Hanging Hills of Connecticut (Metacomet Ridge range); upfaulting (horst) visible from right to left. caption attribution description: English: East Peak of the Hanging Hills, Meriden, Connecticut. Mine Island and Merimere Reservoir below. by Paul Gagnon 2003. content: Fault blocks are very large blocks of rock, sometimes hundreds of kilometres in extent, created by tectonic and localized stresses in Earth's crust. Large areas of bedrock are broken up into blocks by faults. Blocks are characterized by relatively uniform lithology. The largest of these fault blocks are called crustal blocks. Large crustal blocks broken off from tectonic plates are called terranes. Those terranes which are the full thickness of the lithosphere are called microplates. Continent-sized blocks are called variously microcontinents, continental ribbons, H-blocks, extensional allochthons and outer highs.
Because most stresses relate to the tectonic activity of moving plates, most motion between blocks is horizontal, that is parallel to the Earth's crust by strike-slip faults. However vertical movement of blocks produces much more dramatic results. Landforms are sometimes formed when the faults have a large vertical displacement. Adjacent raised blocks and down-dropped blocks can form high escarpments. Often the movement of these blocks is accompanied by tilting, due to compaction or stretching of the crust at that point.

title: 1964 Brazilian coup d'état section title: Aftermath hierarchical section title: 1964 Brazilian coup d'état / The coup / Aftermath caption reference description: Brazilian military leader Castelo Branco (left) with U.S. Ambassador Lincoln Gordon in 1965 content: The 1964 Brazilian coup d'état was a series of events in Brazil from March 31 to April 1 that led to the overthrow of President João Goulart by members of the Brazilian Armed Forces, supported by the United States government. The following day, with the military already in control of the country, the Brazilian Congress came out in support of the coup and endorsed it by declaring vacant the office of the presidency. The coup put an end to the government of Goulart, a member of the Brazilian Labour Party, who had been democratically elected vice president in the same election in which conservative Jânio Quadros, from the National Labour Party and backed by the National Democratic Union, won the presidency.
Quadros resigned in 1961, the same year of his inauguration, in a clumsy political maneuver to increase his popularity. Quadros anticipated those mass demonstrations would demand his return to office and strengthen his position, but he miscalculated. With the presidency vacant and according to the constitution then in force, enacted in 1946, Quadros should have automatically been replaced by Goulart.

Founded in 1984 by French engineers Claude Poiraud and Gérard Godfroy as MVS, the company's purpose was to compete in the "Grand Tourisme" market. This was only the most recent post-war attempt at building a sporty luxury car in France, following in the footsteps of Facel Vega, Monica, and Ligier. As with its predecessors, Venturi was immediately faced with many challenges ranging from an unknown name to its under-capitalized and under-staffed state. Venturi did nonetheless manage to continue in production for nearly sixteen years, declaring bankruptcy in 2000. The same year, Monegasque Gildo Pallanca Pastor purchased Venturi, and decided to focus on electric-powered motors. This change of direction led to the limited-production Fétish, the first electric sports car in the world. Following the public's enthusiasm for this first electric model, the brand developed 5 other innovative concept cars.
The first team to commit to the Formula E World Championship, Venturi competes under the name of ROKiT Venturi Racing with its drivers Felipe Massa and Edoardo Mortara.

title: Maxime de la Rochefoucauld hierarchical section title: Maxime de la Rochefoucauld caption reference description: Maxime Rioux in his studio, 2007 caption attribution description: English: Musician and performance artist Maxime Rioux. content: Maxime Rioux known by his stage name Maxime De La Rochefoucauld is a Montreal-based musician and performance artist.
Rioux is best known for his compositions produced on musical instruments that are homemade and often built specifically for a single live performance. Most instruments of his Système Ki, as Rioux calls it, are not played directly by a musician. Instead they are mechanically linked to a woofer that is driven by an inaudible, extremely low frequency electrical signal. The signal, in the range of 1-10 Hz, is most often generated on a synthesizer and prerecorded, but may be played live or be generated from other electrical sources.
The name "Ki" refers to the Japanese translation of Qi, the notion of a vital energy that animates all things.
Rioux is the brother of French-Canadian stage and film actress Geneviève Rioux.

title: North Atlantic weather war hierarchical section title: North Atlantic weather war caption reference description: Weather Station Kurt, a German automated weather station. caption attribution description: Weather Station Kurt, officially Wetter-Funkgerät Land-26, a weather station erected by a German U-boat crew in northern Labrador (now part of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada), in 1943. The installation of Weather Station Kurt was the only armed German military operation on land in North America during the Second World War. The station was forgotten for many years until the late 1970s, when a retired Siemens engineer named Franz Selinger who was writing a history, went through Sommermeyer's papers and learned of the station's existence. He contacted Canadian Department of National Defence historian W.A.B. Douglas, who went with a team in 1981 and found the station still largely intact. Weather Station Kurt was brought to Ottawa and is now on display at the Canadian War Museum. content: The North Atlantic weather war occurred during World War II. The Allies and Germany tried to gain a monopoly on weather data in the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans. Meteorological intelligence was important as it affected military planning and the routing of ships and convoys. In some circumstances, visibility was necessary and in others concealment. D-day planning was greatly affected by weather forecasting; it was delayed by one day in the expectation that a storm would blow out and sea conditions would be acceptable. British sources of data included ships at sea and the weather stations at Valentia Observatory and Blacksod Point, in neutral Ireland; German use of weather ships also exposed their secret Enigma codes.

title: Population history of indigenous peoples of the Americas section title: War and violence hierarchical section title: Population history of indigenous peoples of the Americas / Depopulation from European Conquest / War and violence caption reference description: Storming of the Teocalli by Cortez and His Troops by Emanuel Leutze caption attribution description: motif: en:Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire in June 1520 content: The population figure of indigenous peoples of the Americas before the 1492 Spanish voyage of Christopher Columbus has proven difficult to establish. Scholars rely on archaeological data and written records from European settlers. Most scholars writing at the end of the 19th century estimated that the pre-Columbian population was as low as 10 million; by the end of the 20th century most scholars gravitated to a middle estimate of around 50 million, with some historians arguing for an estimate of 100 million or more. Contact with the Europeans led to the European colonization of the Americas, in which millions of immigrants from Europe eventually settled in the Americas.
The population of African and Eurasian peoples in the Americas grew steadily, while the indigenous population plummeted. Eurasian diseases such as influenza, pneumonic plagues, and smallpox devastated the Native Americans, who did not have immunity to them. Conflict and outright warfare with Western European newcomers and other American tribes further reduced populations and disrupted traditional societies.


title: Metropolitan Railway section title: Opening hierarchical section title: Metropolitan Railway / History / Paddington to the City, 1853–63 / Opening caption reference description: The railway as it opened in 1863 content: The Metropolitan Railway was a passenger and goods railway that served London from 1863 to 1933, its main line heading north-west from the capital's financial heart in the City to what were to become the Middlesex suburbs. Its first line connected the main-line railway termini at Paddington, Euston, and King's Cross to the City. The first section was built beneath the New Road using cut-and-cover between Paddington and King's Cross and in tunnel and cuttings beside Farringdon Road from King's Cross to near Smithfield, near the City. It opened to the public on 10 January 1863 with gas-lit wooden carriages hauled by steam locomotives, the world's first passenger-carrying designated underground railway.
The line was soon extended from both ends, and northwards via a branch from Baker Street. Southern branches, directly served, reached Hammersmith in 1864, Richmond in 1877 and the original completed the Inner Circle in 1884. The most important route was northwest into the Middlesex countryside, stimulating the development of new suburbs.


title: 1924 Palace Law of Succession section title: Background hierarchical section title: 1924 Palace Law of Succession / Background caption reference description: Buddha Yodfa Chulaloke caption attribution description: Crop of portrait of King Buddha Yodfa Chulaloke (Rama I), which is displayed in the Chakri Mahaprasad Hall at the Grand Palace, Bangkok. Portrait created during the reign of King Chulalongkorn, meaning it was created no later than 1910 (identity of the creator is unknown to the uploader). Image taken from web page of the Public Relations Department, Region 3, content: The Palace Law of Succession, Buddhist Era 2467 governs succession to the Throne of the Kingdom of Thailand, under the ruling House of Chakri. Succession matters prior to the end of absolute monarchy in 1932 could be contentious, especially during the Ayutthaya period from the 14th to 18th centuries. In 1924, King Vajiravudh attempted to clarify the succession process by laying down the Palace Law of Succession. It was promulgated and came into effect in November 1924 as, in part, an attempt to eliminate the vagueness relating to succession within the Thai monarchical regime and to systematically resolve previous controversies. In 1932, after Siam became a constitutional monarchy, various amendments relating to succession were introduced. The 1997 Constitution of Thailand relied on the law with regards to succession, but the 2006 Interim Constitution made no mention of succession, leaving it to "constitutional practice." The 2007 Constitution again relied on the Palace Law. The preamble of the 2014 interim constitution of Thailand abrogated the 2007 Constitution, with the exception of chapter 2, concerning the monarchy and the succession.
