The largest iceberg in the world has broken off in the Weddell Sea in Antarctica, the European Space Agency reports. But researchers say much more study needs to be done to determine the cause. They researchers suggest the iceberg is likely to break into fragments and say that while some of the ice may stay nearby for decades, parts of it may drift north into warmer waters. ![]() The project, which is investigating the effects of a warming climate through a combination of fieldwork, satellite observation and computer simulation, describes the iceberg as one of the largest ever recorded. Red shading indicates negative anomalies, with a value of -1.

Google Maps uses Fawn Creek Township within Montgomery County as the zero-mile point of the United States. Western portions of the county contain parts of the northern Cross Timbers eco-region, which separates the forested eastern portion of the United States with the Plains. The lowest point in the state of Kansas is located on the Verdigris River in Cherokee Township in Montgomery County (just southeast of Coffeyville), where it flows out of Kansas and into Oklahoma. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of 651 square miles (1,690 km 2), of which 644 square miles (1,670 km 2) is land and 8.0 square miles (21 km 2) (1.2%) is water. Įarly in 1869, however, settlers began to cross the Verdigris River, "at first under protest of the Indians, but the immense throng of settlers soon made all protests futile." Montgomery County was surveyed and organized in 1869 the governor appointed commissioners June 3. Like the Osages, the Bunkers thought they were beyond the boundaries of civilization. In 1867 Frank and Fred Bunker established a primitive cattle camp on the west side of the Verdigris south of the confluence. From the west the Elk River joins the Verdigris at a confluence slightly northwest of the geographical center of the county. The Verdigris flows from north to south through the center of Montgomery County. įor a brief time, the Osages attempted to maintain a boundary at the Verdigris River. ![]() This treaty conceded white settlement on land in the eastern part of what is now Montgomery County. As early as 1866, the Osages were forced to cede tracts at the eastern and northern edges of the reservation. After the Civil War ended, the Osage lands were coveted as the largest and last reserve of good land in the eastern part of the state. The reservation had been established in 1825. When Kansas was admitted to the Union as a state in 1861, the Osage Indian reservation occupied a large tract of land near the southern border. It was named in honor of Richard Montgomery, an American Revolutionary War general killed in 1775 while attempting to capture Quebec City, in Canada, after successfully capturing two forts and the city of Montreal. Montgomery County was established on February 26, 1867. In 1854, the Kansas Territory was organized, then in 1861 Kansas became the 34th U.S. In 1803, most of the land for modern day Kansas was acquired by the United States from France as part of the 828,000 square mile Louisiana Purchase for 2.83 cents per acre. In 1802, Spain returned most of the land to France, but keeping title to about 7,500 square miles. In 1762, after the French and Indian War, France secretly ceded New France to Spain, per the Treaty of Fontainebleau. ![]() ![]() From the 16th century to 18th century, the Kingdom of France claimed ownership of large parts of North America.

Twilight and her friends discover the Elements of Harmony and use them to defeat Nightmare Moon. The celebration is interrupted when Nightmare Moon, Celestia's nemesis, returns to power and threatens to bring eternal night to Equestria. Accompanied by Spike, Twilight checks the town's preparations for the Summer Sun Celebration and befriends the rest of the main characters. Twilight Sparkle lives in Canterlot until Princess Celestia sends her to Ponyville. Lauren Faust had planned for Twilight to acquire the power of self-levitation "at some point." Following Faust's departure from the show, Twilight has used this power in the season three episodes The Crystal Empire - Part 2 and Magical Mystery Cure.Īs an Alicorn, Princess Twilight is a little taller, her neck is more curved, and her horn is a bit longer than when she was a unicorn.ĭepiction in the seriesEdit History In a 2008 sketch for the series bible, Twilight's cutie mark resembles that of the character Moondancer from earlier My Little Pony generations. She additionally shares some personality traits with the G1 pony named Bright Eyes. Though she is much more studious and possesses more powerful magical abilities, she also shares a number of personality traits with the G1 Pegasus Wind Whistler, such as her tendency to rely on logic rather than instincts and her habit of using more advanced and technical terms. G1 Twilight teleports by wishing, and Twilight Twinkle likes to watch fireflies Twilight Sparkle shares aspects from both of these ponies, with her ability to teleport and her occasional stargazing. Twilight Sparkle's color scheme was later changed to that of the G3 Earth pony Twilight Twinkle, with a slightly different mane and tail, but Lauren Faust said that Twilight originally had dark blue hair with a light blue stripe Twilight Sparkle was called "Twilight Twinkle" in early scripts for the show.

Thus, we present this retrospective analysis and evaluated all cases that presented to our department for a second opinion. ![]() Although the literature and data on eloquent glioma surgery are broad, no studies or subgroup analyses are at hand that analyzed the actual functional outcome and oncological benefit of surgery in patients initially diagnosed as inoperable. By carefully choosing a multimodal setup including preoperative mapping of motor and language function using navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (nTMS), intraoperative cortical and subcortical mapping using direct cortical stimulation (DCS), intraoperative neuromonitoring (IOM), and awake surgery, we can increase safety and, therefore, allow resection of most such tumors with an acceptable rate of postoperative new deficits. To achieve both goals, neurosurgeons use multiple modalities to examine, visualize, and monitor anatomy and function presurgically and during resection. Resection of such highly eloquent gliomas always involves a compromise between the extent of resection and the preservation of motor or language function. Nonetheless, many gliomas within highly eloquent regions, especially within the insula, rolandic region, and the perisylvian cortex of the dominant hemisphere, still frequently undergo limited debulking or biopsy attributable to the supposed risk of surgery-related deficits. Surgical tumor reduction has been shown to have a impact on survival and quality of life and, thus, has to be as extensive as possible. In specialized centers, most highly eloquent gliomas are eligible for surgical resection with an acceptable rate of surgery-related deficits therefore, they should be referred to specialized centers.įor the treatment of high- and low-grade gliomas, surgery is an important part of a multimodal therapy. Median Karnofsky Performance Scale was 85 before and 80 after surgery). Progression-free follow-up was 11.3 months (range: 2 weeks – 64.5 months) and median survival was 14.8 months (range: 4 weeks – 20.5 months). Postoperatively, 17 of 47 patients (36%) had a new motor or language deficit, which remained permanent in 8.5% (4 patients). Thereby, gross total resection was achieved in 35 cases (74%). IOM was required in 38 cases (81%) and was stable in 18 cases (47%), whereas MEPs changed the surgical strategy in 10 cases (26%). ResultsĪwake surgery was performed in 8 cases (17%). All data, including pre and intraoperative brain mapping and monitoring (IOM) by motor evoked potentials (MEPs) were reviewed and related to the postoperative outcome. Out of these, 25 were glioblastomas WHO grade IV (53%), 14 were anaplastic astrocytomas WHO grade III (30%), 7 were diffuse astrocytomas WHO grade II (15%), and one was a pilocytic astrocytoma WHO grade I (2%). ![]() Methodsīetween 20, we resected 47 out of 51 supratentorial gliomas (92%), which were primarily evaluated to be non-resectable during previous presentation at another neurosurgical department. However, pre and intraoperative brain mapping, intraoperative neuromonitoring (IOM), and awake surgery increase safety, which allows resection of most of these tumors with a considerably low rate of postoperatively new deficits. Nevertheless, many gliomas within highly eloquent cortical regions, e.g., insula, rolandic, and left perisylvian cortex, still do not undergo surgery because of the impending risk of surgery-related deficits at some centers. Today, the treatment of choice for high- and low-grade gliomas requires primarily surgical resection to achieve the best survival and quality of life. ![]() ![]() ![]() In the worst case, this may lead to a cascading series of shutdowns and a major regional blackout. If demand exceeds supply, the imbalance can cause generation plant(s) and transmission equipment to automatically disconnect or shut down to prevent damage. A sophisticated control system is required to ensure that power generation closely matches demand. Underground transmission is more common in urban areas or environmentally sensitive locations.Įlectrical energy must typically be generated at the same rate at which it is consumed. Underground power transmission has a significantly higher installation cost and greater operational limitations, but lowers maintenance costs. Power is usually transmitted through overhead power lines. HVDC links stabilize power distribution networks where sudden new loads, or blackouts, in one part of a network might otherwise result in synchronization problems and cascading failures.Įlectricity is transmitted at high voltages to reduce the energy loss due to resistance that occurs over long distances. ![]() High-voltage direct current (HVDC) technology is also used in submarine power cables (typically longer than 30 miles (50 km)), and in the interchange of power between grids that are not mutually synchronized. DC technology is used for greater efficiency over longer distances, typically hundreds of miles. Most North American transmission lines are high-voltage three-phase AC, although single phase AC is sometimes used in railway electrification systems. System A diagram of an electric power system. Historically, transmission and distribution lines were often owned by the same company, but starting in the 1990s, many countries liberalized the regulation of the electricity market in ways that led to separate companies handling transmission and distribution. One grid connects most of continental Europe. North America has four major interconnections: Western, Eastern, Quebec and Texas. The voltage is stepped up for transmission, then reduced for local distribution.Ī wide area synchronous grid, known as an "interconnection" in North America, directly connects generators delivering AC power with the same relative frequency to many consumers. The voltage level is changed with transformers. Transmission lines use either alternating current (AC) or direct current (DC). This reduces the losses produced by strong currents. The combined transmission and distribution network is part of electricity delivery, known as the electrical grid.Įfficient long-distance transmission of electric power requires high voltages. This is distinct from the local wiring between high-voltage substations and customers, which is typically referred to as electric power distribution. The interconnected lines that facilitate this movement form a transmission network. The entire 7079 MW nameplate generation capacity of the dam is accommodated by these six circuits.Įlectric power transmission is the bulk movement of electrical energy from a generating site, such as a power plant, to an electrical substation. ![]() Two additional circuits are obscured by trees on the far right.
