The History of wolves in Yellowstone chronicles the extirpation, absence and reintroduction of gray wolf (Canis lupus) to Yellowstone National Park. The project was controversial as it is with the worldwide reintroduction of wolves. There were surprises for scientists, governments or park managers. When Yellowstone National Park was created in 1872, wolf populations were already in decline in Montana, Wyoming and Idaho. The creation of the national park did provide protection for wolves or other predators, and government predator control programs in the first decades of the 1900s essentially didn't eliminate the gray wolf from Yellowstone. The last wolves were killed in Yellowstone in 1926. After that time, sporadic reports of wolves still occurred, but scientists confirmed that sustainabl

Son cubano is a genre of music and dance that originated in the highlands of eastern Cuba during the late 19th century. It is a syncretic genre that blends elements of Spanish and African origin. Among its fundamental Hispanic components are the vocal style, lyrical metre and the primacy of the tres, derived from the Spanish guitar. On the other hand, its characteristic clave rhythm, call and response structure and percussion section (bongo, maracas, etc.) are all rooted in traditions of Bantu origin. Around 1909 the son reached Havana, where the first recordings were made in 1917. This marked the start of its expansion throughout the island, becoming Cuba's most popular and influential genre. While early groups had between three and five members, during the 1920s the sexteto (sextet) became the genre's primary format. By the 1930s, many bands had incorporated a trumpet, becoming septetos, and in the 1940s a larger type of ensemble featuring congas and piano became the norm: the conjunto. Besides, the son became one of the main ingredients in the jam sessions known as descargas that flourished during the 1950s. The international presence of the son can be traced back to the 1930s when many bands toured Europe and North America, leading to ballroom adaptations of the genre such as the American rhumba. Similarly, radio broadcasts of son became popular in West Africa and the Congos, leading to the development of hybrid genres such as Congolese rumba. In the 1960s, New York's music scene prompted the rapid success of salsa, a combination of son and other Latin American styles primarily recorded by Puerto Ricans. While salsa achieved international popularity during the second half of the 20th century, in Cuba son evolved into other styles such as songo and timba, the latter of which is sometimes known as "Cuban salsa".

Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes (American Spanish: [neˈmesjo oseˈɣeɾa seɾˈβantes]; born 17 July 1966 or 17 July 1964), commonly referred to by his alias El Mencho ([el ˈmentʃo]), is a Mexican suspected drug lord and leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), a criminal group based in Jalisco. He is the most-wanted criminal in Mexico and one of the most-wanted in the U.S. Both governments are offering up to MXN$30 million and US$10 million, respectively, for information that leads to his arrest. He is wanted for drug trafficking, organized crime involvement, and illegal possession of firearms. El Mencho is reportedly responsible for coordinating drug trafficking operations in the Americas, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Oceania. Under his command, the CJNG became one of Mexico's leading criminal organizations. Born into poverty in Mexico, El Mencho grew avocados and dropped out of primary school before immigrating illegally to the U.S. in the 1980s. After being arrested several times, he was deported to Mexico in the early 1990s and worked for the Milenio Cartel. He eventually climbed to the top of the criminal organization and founded the CJNG after several of his bosses were arrested or killed. His notoriety is also a result of his aggressive leadership and sensationalist acts of violence against both rival criminal groups and Mexican security forces alike. These attacks brought him increased government attention and an extensive manhunt. Security forces suspect he is hiding in the rural terrains of Jalisco, Michoacán, Nayarit, and/or Colima, and is guarded by mercenaries with former military training.

Founded in 1920 Akaflieg Berlin was founded in 1920 and is one of the oldest gliding clubs in Germany, flying their gliders from near Pritzwalk, which they share with the (Akademische Fliegervereinigung Berlin e.V.), which mainly consists of former members of Akaflieg Berlin, jokingly referred to as the “elderly ladies and gentlemen”. As at 2007/2008 Akaflieg Berlin was the executive group of the (Interessengemeinschaft deutscher akademischer Fliegergruppen e.V.), the controlling body for all German university flying groups. Akaflieg Berlin currently has three two-seaters: a Grob G-103 Twin III and two of its own designs, the Akaflieg Berlin B12 and the Akaflieg Berlin B13. It further operates a Schempp-Hirth Discus and a Schleicher ASW 24.

With cantilever shoulder-wing, dive air-brakes and all wood construction, the B8 was constructed in 2 versions with variations in dihedral. The Olympic competition was ultimately won by the DFS Meise.Akaflieg Berlin B 9Designed in 1943, the B9 was a two-seater twin-engined experimental aeroplane for high-g-flights, with a cantilever low-wing, retractable landing gear and 2 x 105 HP engines. The B9 was intended to research the effects of high-g flight with the pilot lying in a prone position, being assigned the RLM designation 8-341.Conceived in 1944, this two-seated twin-engined amphibian didn't pass the design stage.Designed in 1963, the B11 was a single-seat tail less performance glider with negative wing-sweep. Construction of the prototype was not completed due to faulty design.Akaflieg Berlin B12The B 12 is a two-seated epoxy-glass-resin performance glider with the seats in tandem. The main aim of the project was the optimisation of the aerodynamics of the fuselage at high speeds. The B12 has flaps and a retractable landing-gear and is still used by the group for performance flights and contests. The maiden flight was in 1977 at Ehlershausen near Hannover and the measured glide-ratio (Idaflieg-summer-meeting 1978) is 40.5.Akaflieg Berlin B13The B13 is a two-seater epoxy-carbon-resin electric motor glider with the seats positioned side-by-side. The wing span is 23.2 m and the measured glide-ratio (Idaflieg-summer-meeting 1992) is 46.5. The wing profile is a modified flap-HQ-41-profile. Developed in the eighties, the B13 had its successful maiden flight in 1991 at Strausberg near Berlin. After the integration of the 33hp (24.5kW)Rotax engine, an innovative brushless linear induction motor was substituted, powered by energy from renewable sources using fuel cells and solar technology.Glider launch winchBecause of the high take-off weight of the B13, the group decided in 1984 to design and construct a new more powerful winch to launch their gliders. Daimler-Benz donated a 320 HP 10-cylinder diesel engine including an axle and cable drums. In addition to achieving a higher performance, the project's aim was to make winch launching safer for modern gliders which have higher minimum speeds during a winch launch, especially on days when there is no wind or even a light tail-wind. By using big azimuth rollers and inclined inlet guides, the winch is designed to minimize the bending of the cable under load. The groups also designed automatic process controls for the pneumatically driven gearbox actuators;mounted on an all-wheel drive Tatra 148 chassis, the winch was finished in 1994 and has operated with Dyneema-plastics cables since 2004.

After that time, sporadic reports of wolves still occurred, but scientists confirmed that sustainable wolf populations had been extirpated and were absent from Yellowstone during the mid-1900s. Starting in the 1940s, park managers, biologists, conservationists and environmentalists began what would ultimately turn into a campaign to reintroduce the gray wolf into Yellowstone National Park. When the Endangered Species Act of 1973 was passed, the road to legal reintroduction was clear. In 1995, gray wolves were first reintroduced into Yellowstone in the Lamar Valley.

Adralestos (Greek: Ἀδράλεστος) was the Domestic of the Schools (commander-in-chief of the Byzantine army) in the early years of Romanos I Lekapenos' reign. Very little is known about him. He was apparently appointed to the post of Domestic after Romanos I's rise to the throne in 920, in succession to John Garidas, and held the post until his death later in 920 or in 921, as he is already mentioned as having died in 921. His successor was Pothos Argyros. His family is unknown. Rodolphe Guilland considered him an ancestor, likely grandfather, of Adralestos Diogenes, strategos of the Anatolic Theme in 970, but there is little concrete evidence to support this assumption other than the identical names.
