query: Kolyma has reserves of natural resources.

pos: Kolyma Kolyma ( Колыма́ , -LSB- kəlɨˈma -RSB- ) is a region located in the Russian Far East . It is bounded by the East Siberian Sea and the Arctic Ocean in the north and the Sea of Okhotsk to the south . The region gets its name from the Kolyma River and mountain range , parts of which were not discovered until 1926 . Today the region consists roughly of the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug and the Magadan Oblast .   The area , part of which is within the Arctic Circle , has a subarctic climate with very cold winters lasting up to six months of the year . Permafrost and tundra cover a large part of the region . Average winter temperatures range from − 19 ° C to − 38 ° C ( even lower in the interior ) , and average summer temperatures , from +3 ° C to +16 ° C . There are rich reserves of gold , silver , tin , tungsten , mercury , copper , antimony , coal , oil , and peat . Twenty-nine zones of possible oil and gas accumulation have been identified in the Sea of Okhotsk shelf . Total reserves are estimated at 3.5 billion tons of equivalent fuel , including 1.2 billion tons of oil and 1.5 billion m3 of gas .   The principal town Magadan has nearly 100,000 inhabitants and is the largest port in north-eastern Russia . It has a large fishing fleet and remains open year-round thanks to icebreakers . Magadan is served by the nearby Sokol Airport . There are many public and private farming enterprises . Gold mines , pasta and sausage factories , fishing companies , and a distillery form the city 's industrial base .

pos: Copper Copper is a chemical element with symbol Cu ( from cuprum ) and atomic number 29 . It is a soft , malleable , and ductile metal with very high thermal and electrical conductivity . A freshly exposed surface of pure copper has a reddish-orange color . Copper is used as a conductor of heat and electricity , as a building material , and as a constituent of various metal alloys , such as sterling silver used in jewelry , cupronickel used to make marine hardware and coins , and constantan used in strain gauges and thermocouples for temperature measurement .   Copper is one of the few metals that occur in nature in directly usable metallic form as opposed to needing extraction from an ore . This led to very early human use , from c. 8000 BC . It was the first metal to be smelted from its ore , c. 5000 BC , the first metal to be cast into a shape in a mold , c. 4000 BC and the first metal to be purposefully alloyed with another metal , tin , to create bronze , c. 3500 BC .   In the Roman era , copper was principally mined on Cyprus , the origin of the name of the metal , from aes сyprium ( metal of Cyprus ) , later corrupted to сuprum , from which the words copper ( English ) , cuivre ( French ) , Koper ( Dutch ) and Kupfer ( German ) are all derived . The commonly encountered compounds are copper ( II ) salts , which often impart blue or green colors to such minerals as azurite , malachite , and turquoise , and have been used widely and historically as pigments . Copper used in buildings , usually for roofing , oxidizes to form a green verdigris ( or patina ) . Copper is sometimes used in decorative art , both in its elemental metal form and in compounds as pigments . Copper compounds are used as bacteriostatic agents , fungicides , and wood preservatives .   Copper is essential to all living organisms as a trace dietary mineral because it is a key constituent of the respiratory enzyme complex cytochrome c oxidase . In molluscs and crustaceans , copper is a constituent of the blood pigment hemocyanin , replaced by the iron-complexed hemoglobin in fish and other vertebrates . In humans , copper is found mainly in the liver , muscle , and bone . The adult body contains between 1.4 and 2.1 mg of copper per kilogram of body weight .

neg: Mineral spring Mineral springs are naturally occurring springs that produce water containing minerals , or other dissolved substances , that alter its taste or give it a purported therapeutic value . Salts , sulfur compounds , and gases are among the substances that can be dissolved in the spring water during its passage underground .   Mineral water obtained from mineral springs has long been an important commercial proposition .   Mineral spas are resorts that have developed around mineral springs , where ( often wealthy ) patrons would repair to `` take the waters '' -- meaning that they would drink ( see hydrotherapy and water cure ) or bathe in ( see balneotherapy ) the mineral water .   Historical mineral springs were often outfitted with elaborate stone-works -- including artificial pools , retaining walls , colonnades and roofs -- sometimes in the form of fanciful `` Greek temples '' , gazebos or pagodas . Others were entirely enclosed within spring houses .

neg: West Lunga National Park West Lunga National Park is a remote wildlife haven in dense forest in the North-Western Province of Zambia . It lies between the West Lunga River and Kabompo River about 10 km north of the gravel road from Solwezi to Kabompo , and covers about 1700 km ² .   The national park is the only one in Zambia covered by forest , categorised in the small Cryptosepalum dry forests ecoregion , which exists only in a few patches in the south west of the province extending a little over the border into Angola . Cryptosepalum trees ( called `` mukwe '' locally ) are evergreen and grow densely with a closed canopy . The ecoregion forms the largest evergreen forest in Africa outside of the equatorial zone . Although the rainfall in the area is quite high ( above 1,000 mm per year ) the soils are sandy and well drained so apart from the rivers there is a lack of surface water . A few patches of Miombo woodland and grassland also exist in the park .   The park lacks management , facilities , and roads . There is no accommodation and no towns nearby , visitors must be completely self-sufficient . ( The Zambia Tourism website does not even mention the park . ) It is reached by a dirt track from the main road to the park gate and base at Jivundu in its south-west . The lack of water and thickness of the forest has kept the human population low in the region , and despite some poaching and the absence of protection , the forest is believed to be still fairly rich in wildlife . Smaller forest mammals such as duiker and bushpigs live there , and recent reports also mention puku , hippopotami , Nile crocodiles , vervet monkeys , and yellow baboons . The game guards say there are buffalo , roan antelopes , sable antelopes , Lichtenstein 's hartebeests , impalas , elands , and elephants .   As of September 2008 , African Parks Network ( also known as African Parks Foundation or African Parks Conservation ) from The Netherlands concluded an agreement for the management of West Lunga National Park .

neg: Zay River The Zay ( Зай -LSB- Зәй , Zäy -RSB- , -LSB- zæɪ -RSB- ) is a river in Tatarstan , Russian Federation , a left-bank tributary of the Kama River . It is 270 km long , and its drainage basin covers 5020 km2 . It begins near Mikhaylovka , Leninogorsky District , Tatarstan and falls to the Kama River 7 km south-west of Nizhnekamsk .   At its headwaters the river is named the Steppe Zay ( Степной Зай , Stepnoy Zay , -LSB- Дала Зәе , Dala Zäye -RSB- ) . The lower reach of the river after the confluence with Forest Zay River , 55 km , is named simply Zay . Also , one of headstream Steppe Zay 's tributaries is also named Zay . Other major tributaries are the Moshkara , Zay-Karatay , Ursala , Aktashka , and Shumyshka rivers .   The mineralization varies from 2000-3000 to 5000 -- 8000 mg/l . Average sediment deposition at the river mouth per year is 130 mm . Drainage is regulated . There are two reservoirs , Zainsk and Karabash Reservoirs constructed in Zay valley . Since 1978 it is protected as a natural monument of Tatarstan . Zainsk , Almetyevsk and Karabash , Tatarstan are along the river .

neg: Ore Mountain Mining Region The Ore Mountain Mining Region ( Montanregion Erzgebirge ) is an industrial heritage landscape , over 800 years old , in the border region between the German state of Saxony and North Bohemia in the Czech Republic .  It is characterised by a plethora of historic , largely original , monuments to technology , as well as numerous individual monuments and collections related to the historic mining industry of the region .  The identity and authenticity of the mining heritage landscape of the Ore Mountains on both sides of the German-Czech border has no equivalent anywhere in the world , and if the region succeeds in being recognised as a UNESCO world heritage site - for which it has been nominated - it should help to preserve it for future generations as a `` developing cultural landscape '' .

neg: Komsa culture The Komsa culture ( Komsakulturen ) was a Mesolithic culture of hunter-gatherers that existed from around 10,000 BC in Northern Norway .   The culture is named after the Komsa Mountain in the community of Alta , Finnmark , where the remains of the culture were first discovered . The term was first used by Norwegian archaeologist Anders Nummedal ( 1867-1944 ) after the discoveries he made on Komsa Mountain during 1925 . The distinction between a `` Komsa '' type of stone-tool culture north of the Arctic Circle and a `` Fosna '' type from Trøndelag to Oslo Fjord was rendered obsolete in the 1970s . Nowadays both phenomena are ascribed to different types of tools of the same culture .   Recent archeological finds from Finnish Lapland were originally thought to represent an inland aspect of the Komsa culture equally old as the earliest finds from the Norwegian coast . However , this material is now considered to be affiliated with the contemporary Post-Swiderian culture of North Central Russia and the eastern Baltic and thus represents a separate early incursion into northernmost Scandinavia   The commonly held view today is that the earliest settlement of the North Norwegian coast originated on the western and southwestern coast of Norway and ultimately in the final Palaeolithic Ahrensburg culture of northwestern Europe . The Komsa are thought to have followed the Norwegian coastline when receding glaciation at the end of the last ice age ( between 11,000 and 8000 BC ) opened up new areas for settlement . It was formerly believed that some elements may have moved into modern-day Finnmark from the northeast , possibly coming from ice-free coasts of the Kola Peninsula . However , recent research indicates that a number of the coastal sites in the Varangerfjord area previously attributed to the second phase of the `` Komsa '' continuum actually represent an early incursion from the southeast ( northwestern Russia ) and are related to the early Post-Swiderian influx discovered in northernmost Finnish Lapland .   Archaeological evidence indicates that the Komsa culture was almost exclusively sea-oriented , living mainly off seal hunting and being able boatbuilders and fishermen . In comparison to the southern Norway 's contemporary Fosna variety of this same culture , stone tools and other implements appear relatively crude . This has been explained with a paucity of flintstone in the region .

neg: Velikaya River The Velikaya is a river in Novosokolnichesky , Pustoshkinsky , Sebezhsky , Opochetsky , Pushkinogorsky , Ostrovsky , Palkinsky , and Pskovsky Districts of Pskov Oblast , as well as in the city of Pskov in Russia . It is a major tributary of Lake Peipus and belongs to the basin of the Narva River . It is 430 km long , and the area of its basin 25200 km2 . The name of the river means literally `` Grand '' or `` Great '' in Russian . The towns of Opochka , Ostrov and Pskov are located on the banks of the Velikaya . The principal tributaries of the Velikaya are the Alolya River ( right ) , the Issa River ( left ) , the Sorot River ( right ) , the Sinyaya River ( left ) , the Utroya River ( left ) , the Kukhva River ( left ) , the Cheryokha River ( right ) , and the Pskova River ( right ) .   The source of the Velikaya is located in the Bezhanitsy Hills in the northwest of Novosokolnichesky District . The river flows south through a system of lakes to Lake Veryato , where it turns west . It accepts the Alolya from the right and gradually turns north , passing through the town of Opochka . Northwest of the urban-type settlement of Pushkinskiye Gory it turns west , accepts the Sinyaya from the left and turns north . In the city of Pskov the Velikaya accepts the Pskova from the right and turns northwest , forming a river delta as it enters Lake Peipus .   The drainage basin of the Velikaya comprises vast areas in the west and southwest of Pskov Oblast , as well as in the east of Latvia and in the north of the Vitebsk Region of Belarus .   The river has a significant historic importance . Pskov was founded in 903 , and the Velikaya provided it with access to the sea , via Lake Peipus and the Narva River .   The Velikaya is navigable in its lower course ( 34 km ) .

neg: List of companies of Mozambique Mozambique , officially the Republic of Mozambique , is a country in Southeast Africa bordered by the Indian Ocean to the east , Tanzania to the north , Malawi and Zambia to the northwest , Zimbabwe to the west , and Swaziland and South Africa to the southwest .   The economy of Mozambique has developed since the end of the Mozambican Civil War ( 1977 -- 1992 ) , but the country is still one of the world 's poorest and most underdeveloped . The resettlement of civil war refugees and successful economic reform have led to a high growth rate : the country enjoyed a remarkable recovery , achieving an average annual rate of economic growth of 8 % between 1996 and 2006 and between 6 % -- 7 % from 2006 to 2011 . Also , more than 1,200 state-owned enterprises ( mostly small ) have been privatised . Preparations for privatisation and/or sector liberalisation are underway for the remaining parastatal enterprises , including telecommunications , energy , ports , and railways.done

neg: Sudoma River The Sudoma River is a left tributary of the Shelon River , with its course located in Sudoma uplands in Dedovichsky and Bezhanitsky District of Pskov Oblast of Russia . The Sudoma is part of the Lake Ilmen drainage basin . The river has a length of 65 km and drains a basin of 480 km2 . It rarely attains the width of 20 m , being no deeper than 1 m along its course . It notably flows through Sosonskaya Volost where a synonymous village also exists .   One version of the name is linked to a folk tale of a family of three giants that lived in the area , the name derived from the mother of the three . The source of the river is located on the uplands of the same name , so named for apparently serving as a place of a judging ritual , the word for trial in Russian being `` sud '' , however the source is located in Lake Naverezhskoye ( озерo Навережское ) , and the name is only extant from the Nikonov Chronicles ( 1539-1542 ) , before which it was called Sudomir ' , meaning `` peace trial '' or `` decision for peace '' .   The most ancient settlers in the area of the river were thought to be the Krivichi Slav tribe . In 1021 Bryachislav of Polotsk suffered a defeat during the battle on the Sudoma River . The river and the uplands are both mentioned by Leo Tolstoy .   During the Second World War the area was a scene of battles between the German forces and the 3rd Leningrad partisan brigade ( 3-я Ленинградская партизанская бригада ) ( commander Colonel A.P. German Герман ) where they conducted the Rail war .

neg: Geology of the Himalaya The geology of the Himalaya is a record of the most dramatic and visible creations of modern plate tectonic forces . The Himalayas , which stretch over 2400 km between the Namche Barwa syntaxis in Tibet and the Nanga Parbat syntaxis in India , are the result of an ongoing orogeny -- the result of a collision between two continental tectonic plates . This immense mountain range was formed by tectonic forces and sculpted by weathering and erosion . The Himalaya-Tibet region supplies fresh water for more than one-fifth of the world population , and accounts for a quarter of the global sedimentary budget . Topographically , the belt has many superlatives : the highest rate of uplift ( nearly 10 mm/year at Nanga Parbat ) , the highest relief ( 8848 m at Mt. Everest Chomolangma ) , among the highest erosion rates at 2 -- 12 mm/yr , the source of some of the greatest rivers and the highest concentration of glaciers outside of the polar regions . This last feature earned the Himalaya its name , originating from the Sanskrit for `` the abode of the snow '' .

neg: Economy of Alaska The 2007 gross state product was $ 44.9 billion , 45th in the nation . Its per capita personal income for 2007 was $ 40,042 , ranking 15th in the nation . The state 's economy has been described by University of Alaska Anchorage economist Scott Goldsmith as a `` three-legged stool '' - with one leg being the petroleum and gas industry , the second leg being the federal government and the third leg being all other industries and services . Between 2004 and 2006 , the federal government was responsible for 135,000 Alaska jobs , the petroleum sector provided 110,000 jobs and all other industries and services combined for 122,000 jobs .   Alaska 's main export product after oil and natural gas is seafood , primarily salmon , cod , Pollock and crab .   Agriculture represents only a fraction of the Alaskan economy . Agricultural production is primarily for consumption within the state and includes nursery stock , dairy products , vegetables , and livestock . Manufacturing is limited , with most foodstuffs and general goods imported from elsewhere .   Employment is primarily in government and industries such as natural resource extraction , shipping , and transportation . Military bases are a significant component of the economy in both Fairbanks and Anchorage . Federal subsidies are also an important part of the economy , allowing the state to keep taxes low . Its industrial outputs are crude petroleum , natural gas , coal , gold , precious metals , zinc and other mining , seafood processing , timber and wood products . There is also a growing service and tourism sector . Tourists have contributed to the economy by supporting local lodging .

neg: Kotra (river) The Kotra ( Котра Katra ) is a 109 km river in Belarus and Lithuania . The river is known due to a rare phenomenon of river bifurcation .   At first , the Kotra and Ūla form one river , known as the Pelesa , which originates in Belarus and flows in a northwestern direction . Just past the Belarus -- Lithuania border , between the villages of Paramėlis and Kazliškės , some 22 km southeast of Varėna , it branches out into two independent rivers : the Kotra , a tributary of the Neman , and the Ūla , a tributary of the Merkys . This situation arose in the second half of the 19th century when the Ūla , due to its channel erosion , crossed the water divide between its own and the Kotra 's drainage basins . As a result , the Ūla enlarged its basin by some 410 km2 and the Kotra lost two of its tributaries . These processes also caused a decrease in groundwater levels and the almost total disappearance of several large lakes located in the site .   The Kotra flows along the Belarus -- Lithuania border for 24 km and the remaining 85 km through Belarus . It then flows along the southern border of Čepkeliai Marsh , the area protected as a nature reserve With the changes in drainage basins and groundwater levels , some 20 km2 of open marshes overgrew with trees . The Kotra and its surrounding marshes form wetlands of international importance : Kotra Ramsar site and Cepkeliai Ramsar site Varėna district municipality established a 1.085 km2 reservoir to protect the natural Kotra environment .

neg: Kymi (river) The Kymi ( Kymijoki , Kymmene älv ) is a river in Finland . It begins at Lake Päijänne , flows through the provinces of Päijänne Tavastia , Uusimaa and Kymenlaakso and discharges into the Gulf of Finland . The river passes the towns of Heinola and Kouvola . The town of Kotka is located on the river delta . The length of the river is 204 km , but its drainage basin of 37107 km2 extends to almost 600 km inside the Tavastia , Central Finland , Savonia and Ostrobothnia . The furthest source of the river is Lake Pielavesi , its furthest point being some 570 km from the sea measured by flow route . The name of the river , itself , kymi , means `` large river '' , in Old Finnish .   Being one of the largest rivers in Southern Finland , the Kymi is a major source of hydroelectricity . The towns of Kotka , Kuusankoski , Myllykoski and Inkeroinen along the river are major centres of the pulp and paper industry . Formerly the river was extensively used for timber rafting .   The Kymijoki river has five mouths . It divides into two main branches near the Kultaankoski rapids in Kotka , about 15 km inland of the Gulf of Finland . The eastern branch splits into the Korkeakoski and Koivukoski branches , the latter branch dividing again to form two mouths ( Langinkoski and Huumanhaara ) . The Korkeakoski branch has only one river mouth .   The western branch divides into Ahvenkoski and Klåsarö branches , each with one mouth .   The westernmost Ahvenkoski branch of the river served as a border between Sweden and Russia from 1743 to 1809 . The parts of Finland east of the river were later called Old Finland . Old Finland was incorporated in the Grand Duchy of Finland in 1812 .   The Kymi is very swift : it takes three days for its waters to run from lake Pyhäjärvi to sea . Its mean depth is 9 m , and the deepest place is 29 m.

neg: Mount Kholodilnik Kholodilnik Mountain ( гора́ Холоди́льник or со́пка Холодильник lit . `` Mt. Refrigerator '' ) , is a mountain in eastern Russia . It is located in Primorsky Krai , and is in the highest peak within the city of Vladivostok .   Mount Kholodilnik ( height 257.9 , was-Mount Myravyov-Amursky ) is the highest point in Vladivostok . Height is 297 meters . There are fortifications : Fort Count Muravyov - Amur Vladivostok fortress , five lettered fortress batteries and Soviet battery № 198 '' Kholodilnik '' . Currently , some fortifications are abandoned , others are on the territory of the military unit .   Tourists want to visit this place to see the Soviet naval battery sample number 198 1935 years and four 130 - mm gun B - 13-3s . There are still buildings and cellars of the former fort of Major-General Count Nikolai Muravyov - Amursky . Many fortifications have long been abandoned , but some of them are now used by the military unit , which is located almost at the top of the mountain .   On the eastern slope of the hill there are many places for a picnic .   There is a spring of pure water .   Geologically the hills to the south of Vladivostok are the Sikhote-Alin .   Slopes on the mountain are used for the open championship of the Far East for downhill and cross-country .   It is also used by mountain paragliders .   So the rules are elements of air , the result of magical work on the hill Fridge is always weather changing .   Therefore , if the weather in city changes completely unexpected , for example suddenly among of the blue sky clouds are formed and it begins to rain , most likely the reason for that is in the magical effect on a hill Fridge .   Or , conversely , when the whole sky is overcast over the city , citizens can see in the sky a large circle of clear sky over the hill forts Refrigerator - It is an evidence of that at this moment being magical work is .   Entrance to the mountain , oddly enough , is under water . Every 3 years products are imported there in the event of war , then they `` close '' the entrance to this place . They say that the food will last for a whole year to feed the city of Vladivostok .   Mount Refrigerator is protected with naval vessels .

neg: Illegal logging in Madagascar Illegal logging has been a problem in Madagascar for decades and is perpetuated by extreme poverty and government corruption . Often taking the form of selective logging , the trade has been driven by high international demand for expensive , fine-grained lumber such as rosewood and ebony . Historically , logging and exporting in Madagascar have been regulated by the Malagasy government , although the logging of rare hardwoods was explicitly banned from protected areas in 2000 . Since then , government orders and memos have intermittently alternated between permitting and banning exports of precious woods . The most commonly cited reason for permitting exports is to salvage valuable wood from cyclone damage , although this reasoning has come under heavy scrutiny . This oscillating availability of Malagasy rosewood and other precious woods has created a market of rising and falling prices , allowing traders or `` timber barons '' to stockpile illegally sourced logs during periodic bans and then flood the market when the trade windows open and prices are high .   The unsustainable exploitation of these tropical hardwoods , particularly rosewood from the SAVA Region , has escalated significantly since the start of the 2009 Malagasy political crisis . Thousands of poorly paid Malagasy loggers have flooded into the national parks -- especially in the northeast -- building roads , setting up logging camps , and cutting down even the most difficult to reach rosewood trees . Illegal activities are openly flaunted , armed militia have descended upon local villages , and a rosewood mafia easily bribe government officials , buying export permits with ease . These illegal operations are funded in part by advance payments for future shipments ( financed by Chinese expatriates and Chinese importers ) and by loans from large , international banks . Demand is fueled mostly by a growing Chinese middle class and their desire for exotic imperial-style furniture . European and American demand for high-end musical instruments and furniture have also played a role . However , public scrutiny has put significant pressure on shipping companies involved in the trade , and the United States is starting to enforce the Lacey Act by investigating companies with suspected involvement in the illegal trade of Malagasy precious woods .   Logging in Madagascar 's tropical rainforests has had many secondary effects , beyond the risk of depletion of rare , endemic trees . Habitat has been disturbed , illegal mining has begun , local people have turned in desperation to the forests for resources , and poaching of endangered wildlife has escalated . Lemurs , the most well-known faunal group from the island , have been captured for the exotic pet trade as well as killed for food . Even the most critically endangered species have been targeted , primarily to feed a growing demand for delicacy food in up-scale restaurants . The local villagers have also suffered as tourism has declined sharply or ceased almost entirely . Some have resorted to working as loggers for minimal pay , while others have spoken out against it , often receiving death threats from the rosewood mafia in return .

neg: List of World Heritage Sites in Northern and Central Asia The UNESCO ( United Nations Educational , Scientific and Cultural Organization ) has designated 19 World Heritage Sites in six countries ( also called `` state parties '' ) of Central and North Asia : Kazakhstan , Kyrgyzstan , Tajikistan , Turkmenistan , Uzbekistan and the Asian part of Russia . The European part of Russia is included in Eastern Europe .   Russia is home to the most inscribed sites with 7 sites , one of which is a transborder property shared with Mongolia in Eastern Asia . The first site from the region was the Itchan Kala in Uzbekistan inscribed in 1990 . Each year , UNESCO 's World Heritage Committee may inscribe new sites on the list , or delist sites that no longer meet the criteria . Selection is based on ten criteria : six for cultural heritage ( i -- vi ) and four for natural heritage ( vii -- x ) . Some sites , designated `` mixed sites , '' represent both cultural and natural heritage . In Northern and Central Asia , there are 11 cultural , 8 natural , and no mixed sites . All of the Russian sites ( 7 ) are natural and with the exception of Sayarka , all of the sites in Central Asia are cultural .   The World Heritage Committee may also specify that a site is endangered , citing `` conditions which threaten the very characteristics for which a property was inscribed on the World Heritage List . '' None of the sites in this region has ever been listed as endangered , but possible danger listing has been considered by UNESCO in a number of cases .

neg: Kyma River The Kyma is a river in Leshukonsky District of Arkhangelsk Oblast in Russia . It is a right tributary of the Mezen River . It is 219 km long , and the area of its basin 2630 km2 . The main tributaries of the Kyma are the Cholus ( left ) , the Sezya ( left ) , the Lopiya ( right ) , and the Bolshaya Vizenga ( left ) .   The river basin of the Kyma comprises vast areas in the eastern part of Leshukonsky District , as well as some areas in the south-eastern part of Mezensky District . The source of the Kuma is located in the Timan Ridge , close to the border with the Komi Republic and also close to the source of the Sula , another major tributary of the Mezen . The Kyma initially flows in the north-western direction and eventually turns south-west , flowing through the hilly landscape .   The valley of the Kyma is essentially unpopulated . There is a village of Zhitel in the lower course , and the villages of Chukhari and Ust-Kyma in the mouth of the river .

neg: Mineral industry of Armenia The mineral industry is one of the main sectors of the Armenian economy and as of 2011 accounted for over half of the country 's exports .   Armenia is a major producer of molybdenum . The Zangezur copper-molybdenum complex possesses large molybdenum reserves that are concentrated in the Kajaran deposit . Besides molybdenum , Armenia has significant deposits of copper and gold ; smaller deposits of lead , silver , and zinc ; and deposits of industrial minerals , including basalt , diatomite , granite , gypsum , limestone , and perlite .   In spite of the global economic crisis of 2008 , mining production and revenues grew significantly in 2009 due to a rise in global prices of copper , gold , and other base metals .

neg: Matsesta River The Matsesta ( Мацеста , Мэсты Псы , МэшIост ) is a river in Krasnodar Krai , Russia , that flows into the Black Sea . The river rises in the southern ranges of the Alek mountains at an elevation of 900 m above sea level and flows through the Khostinsky City District of the city of Sochi and into the Black Sea . The river is 17 km long , and the highest point in the river 's basin is 1003 m above sea level . The river has numerous tributaries , the largest of which are the Tsanyk and Zmeyka .   The Matsesta is most famous for its sources of mineral water . The name of the river translates in the Ubykh language and the Circassian ( Adyghe ) language as `` fiery water '' , from the words mašč ' o ( fire ) and psy ( water ) . This was because people that immersed themselves in the water of the Matsesta found that their skin became red . There also exists a legend about a girl named Matsesta who invaded an underground kingdom in order to find the spirit of the mineral resources . She killed the spirit at the price of her own life and then brought the healing sources of the river to its surface .   The Matsesta was mentioned for the first time in history in 137 when the Roman military commander and historian Arrian described the coast of the Black Sea and the river Matsesta in a letter to the emperor Hadrian .

neg: Koobi Fora Koobi Fora -LSB- ˈkuːbi_ˈfɔːrə -RSB- refers primarily to a region around Koobi Fora Ridge , located on the eastern shore of Lake Turkana in the territory of the nomadic Gabbra people . According to the National Museums of Kenya , the name comes from the Gabbra language :   The ridge itself is an outcrop of mainly Pliocene/Pleistocene sediments . It is composed of claystones , siltstones , and sandstones that preserve numerous fossils of terrestrial mammals , including early hominin species . Presently , the ridge is being eroded into a badlands terrain by a series of ephemeral rivers that drain into the northeast portion of modern Lake Turkana . In 1968 Richard Leakey established the Koobi Fora Base Camp on a large sandspit projecting into the lake near the ridge , which he called the Koobi Fora Spit .   A subsequent survey and numerous excavations at multiple sites established the region as a source of hominin fossils shedding light on the evolution of man over the previous 4.2 million years . Far exceeding the number of hominin fossils are the non-hominin fossils which give a detailed view of the fauna and flora as far back as the Miocene .   Consequently the government of Kenya in 1973 reserved the region as Sibiloi National Park , establishing a headquarters for the National Museums of Kenya on Koobi Fora Spit . The reserve is well-maintained and is well-guarded by friendly but armed park police . Protection of sites and especially of wildlife are of prime concern . Exploration and excavation continue under the auspices of the Koobi Fora Research Project ( KFRP ) , which collaborates with a number of interested universities and individuals across the world .   Formerly the term Koobi Fora has been used to mean one or two initial sites , or the sand spit . Today it can mean any or all points in Sibiloi National Park . The term East Turkana also has come into use with the larger meaning .

neg: Water resources Water resources are sources of water that are potentially useful . Uses of water include agricultural , industrial , household , recreational and environmental activities . The majority of human uses require fresh water .   97 % of the water on the Earth is salt water and only three percent is fresh water ; slightly over two thirds of this is frozen in glaciers and polar ice caps . The remaining unfrozen freshwater is found mainly as groundwater , with only a small fraction present above ground or in the air .   Fresh water is a renewable resource , yet the world 's supply of groundwater is steadily decreasing , with depletion occurring most prominently in Asia , South America and North America , although it is still unclear how much natural renewal balances this usage , and whether ecosystems are threatened .

neg: Battle royal (gaming) Battle royal ( sometimes spelled as battle royale ) is a video game genre that blends the exploration and scavenging elements of a survival game with last man standing gameplay .   The genre had early roots in survival games such as DayZ , in which players struggled alongside or against each other to obtain basic necessities to continue living in a persistent sandbox filled with various dangers . This led to the development of other games that lacked open-endedness in favor of focusing on hostile interactions between players to determine an eventual winner . One such game was the Battle Royale mod for ARMA 2 and 3 , which was inspired by the Japanese media franchise of the same name , and from which the genre also took its moniker .

neg: Babyz Babyz is a computer game in which one can play with and take care of a group of babies who live in a virtual house on the computer . The game was released in 1999 by The Learning Company , developed by members of PF Magic working there at the time .   Babyz runs on top of the Petz 3 game engine , adding additional AI and voice recognition . For example , players can teach their Babyz baby talk , how to play with objects , and how to walk . Babyz can also form relationships with other babyz that can result in sibling rivalries or friendships .   When Babyz was first released in 1999 , there were 15 babyz you could adopt and care for , as well as various toys that babyz could interact with . There were also many different rooms to explore and a number of different clothing items . Babyz reused some of the Petz toyz and had a similar home setting for its playscenes . Most of the game 's original content can be downloaded and accessed by anyone via user-websites . Users have created ways to make the game playable with Windows XP and create custom content that users can use with their Babyz , as well as unofficial adoption centers and pages .   A Babyz Community started on the official site , which has since been shut down . The website offered adoptions and discussions . Soon after , people started forming their own forums and babyz websites with similar content . `` Pageants '' are where people enter pictures of their babyz posing and earning awards . In 2003 , The Babyz Community Rating System , loosely based on the Petz Community rankings , was created which allows people to register three or four of their babyz , and gain points whenever they win in a pageant .   Around the same time , fan websites were going up , it was discovered that one could hex edit the babyz to introduce new hairstyles , eye colours , etc. . These edited babyz ( `` hexies '' or `` hexed babyz '' ) and custom clothes were often available on fan websites and unique babyz became highly preferred over the simple ones that the game first came with . Many fans tried to petition the game 's creators for a Babyz 2 , similar to the five sequels that were created for the Petz franchise , however nothing ever came of this . Today , user activity has continued to the point where many users testify that the dedicated hexers and custom content creators have banded together to essentially create their own `` Babyz 2 , '' despite the discontinued support from the original creators .   Babyz was originally made for the Windows 95/98 Platform , however with the creation of a patch by Nicholas Sherlock , the game can now be played in Windows XP , Vista , and Windows 7 ; both 32-bit and 64-bit versions . Sherlock 's patch , called `` Petz A '' as it was intended for both Petz and Babyz , also made the game run much smoother , with the ability to change the game speed , save babyz ' pictures in a different format , and also control many aspects of the game that users originally could not . It also introduced sliders to view and change the levels of the babyz ' hunger , energy , sickness , and age . The Petz A patch can be found at Sherlock 's website .   Although not produced any longer , Babyz can still be found at various online retail sites including DirtCheapSoftware.com , Babyz.com , and through various Amazon and eBay sellers . Most of these places offer information and limited support on applying the patch for newer versions of Microsoft Windows .

neg: Machinima Machinima ( -LSB- məˈʃiːnᵻmə -RSB- or -LSB- məˈʃɪnᵻmə -RSB- ) is the use of real-time computer graphics engines to create a cinematic production . Most often video games are used to generate the computer animation . Machinima-based artists , sometimes called machinimists or machinimators , are often fan laborers , by virtue of their re-use of copyrighted materials ( see below ) . Machinima offers to provide an archive of gaming performance and access to the look and feel of software and hardware that may already have become unavailable or even obsolete ; for game studies , `` Machinima 's gestures grant access to gaming 's historical conditions of possibility and how machinima offers links to a comparative horizon that informs , changes , and fully participates in videogame culture . ''   The practice of using graphics engines from video games arose from the animated software introductions of the 1980s demoscene , Disney Interactive Studios ' 1992 video game Stunt Island , and 1990s recordings of gameplay in first-person shooter ( FPS ) video games , such as id Software 's Doom and Quake . Originally , these recordings documented speedruns -- attempts to complete a level as quickly as possible -- and multiplayer matches . The addition of storylines to these films created `` Quake movies '' . The more general term machinima , a portmanteau of machine cinema , arose when the concept spread beyond the Quake series to other games and software . After this generalization , machinima appeared in mainstream media , including television series and advertisements .   Machinima has advantages and disadvantages when compared to other styles of filmmaking . Its relative simplicity over traditional frame-based animation limits control and range of expression . Its real-time nature favors speed , cost saving , and flexibility over the higher quality of pre-rendered computer animation . Virtual acting is less expensive , dangerous , and physically restricted than live action . Machinima can be filmed by relying on in-game artificial intelligence ( AI ) or by controlling characters and cameras through digital puppetry . Scenes can be precisely scripted , and can be manipulated during post-production using video editing techniques . Editing , custom software , and creative cinematography may address technical limitations . Game companies have provided software for and have encouraged machinima , but the widespread use of digital assets from copyrighted games has resulted in complex , unresolved legal issues .   Machinima productions can remain close to their gaming roots and feature stunts or other portrayals of gameplay . Popular genres include dance videos , comedy , and drama . Alternatively , some filmmakers attempt to stretch the boundaries of the rendering engines or to mask the original 3-D context . The Academy of Machinima Arts & Sciences ( AMAS ) , a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting machinima , recognizes exemplary productions through Mackie awards given at its annual Machinima Film Festival . Some general film festivals accept machinima , and game companies , such as Epic Games , Blizzard Entertainment and Jagex , have sponsored contests involving it .

neg: Sonic the Hedgehog is a video game franchise created and produced by Sega . The franchise centers on a series of speed-based platform games .

Typically , Sonic -- usually along with some of his friends , such as Tails , Amy , and Knuckles -- must stop Eggman and foil any plans of world domination . The first game in the series , released in 1991 , was conceived by Sega 's Sonic Team division after Sega requested a mascot character . The title was a success , it spawned many sequels , and it transformed Sega into a leading video game company during the 16-bit era in the early to mid -- 1990s .   While the first games in the series were side-scrolling platform games , later games expanded the series into various other genre and sub-series , such as Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games and the Sonic Boom series . By 2016 , the series had sold over 80 million physical copies of games , and over 350 million units when combining packaged game software with mobile phone downloads . Outside of video games , the franchise has also been spun out into other media , including cartoons , anime , and a long-running comic book series , recognized as the longest running based on a video game by Guinness World Records .

In 1996 , Microsoft 's DirectX group hosted game competitions , first at the Computer Game Developers Conference , then as a separate event , selecting the players and flying them in to compete . These Microsoft-hosted competitions might be seen as the first nationwide video game competitions held in the United States , as players came from throughout the country .   When a further Microsoft DirectX-organized event , intended to be held at Naval Air Station Alameda , was cancelled , Intergraph announced it would host a tournament that would be an open , national computer game competition and chose Quake as the game to be played .   Intergraph brought in Quake developer id Software , 3D computer graphics chipset maker Rendition , and online gaming company Mpath Interactive as partners in Red Annihilation . Will Bryant and Frank Cabanski of the Quake ClanRing were selected to operate the game competition because of their prior pioneering experience running large scale gaming tournaments .   The initial phase of the tournament was held on Mpath 's MPlayer network with over 2000 participants from across the United States competing online in one-on-one matches .   The top 16 players were flown to Atlanta , Georgia for the concluding phase of the tournament , where they competed inside the World Congress Center in a gaming arena Intergraph built on the floor of the Electronic Entertainment Expo ( E3 ) . This phase of the competition used vQuake , the hardware accelerated version of the game , played on Intergraph PC computers equipped with Rendition V1000-based Intense3D graphics accelerators . Players were able to use their own keyboards , mice and other pointing devices if they wished .   As E3 was at the time an industry exhibition open to the trade only , most spectators watched the final competitions online via in-game cameras orchestrated by Bryant and Cabanski . The final morning of the tournament was also covered from the show floor by NBC 's Today and The Wall Street Journal .   It was discovered during the award ceremony that tournament winner Fong , a student at De Anza College , would not be able to drive his prize as he was not insured for such a vehicle . Carmack agreed to underwrite Fong 's insurance for a year so the latter could enjoy his new car .

He helped to popularize the Stanislavski system of acting , studying with Stella Adler in the 1940s . Brando is widely known for his Academy Award-winning performances as Terry Malloy in On the Waterfront ( 1954 ) and Vito Corleone in The Godfather ( 1972 ) , as well as his performances in A Streetcar Named Desire ( 1951 ) , Viva Zapata !

According to the Guinness Book of World Records , Brando was paid a record $ 3.7 million ( $ million in inflation-adjusted dollars ) and 11.75 % of the gross profits for 13 days ' work on Superman . He finished out the 1970s with his controversial performance as Colonel Kurtz in another Coppola film , Apocalypse Now , a box-office hit for which he was highly paid and which helped finance his career layoff during the 1980s .   Brando was ranked by the American Film Institute as the fourth-greatest movie star among male movie stars whose screen debuts occurred in or before 1950 . He was one of only three professional actors , along with Charlie Chaplin and Marilyn Monroe , named in 1999 by Time magazine as one of its 100 Most Important People of the Century .

neg: Rebel Without a Cause Rebel Without a Cause is a 1955 American drama film about emotionally confused suburban , middle-class teenagers filmed in CinemaScope . Directed by Nicholas Ray , it offered both social commentary and an alternative to previous films depicting delinquents in urban slum environments . The film stars James Dean , Sal Mineo and Natalie Wood .   The film was a groundbreaking attempt to portray the moral decay of American youth , critique parental style , and explore the differences and conflicts between generations . The title was adopted from psychiatrist Robert M. Lindner 's 1944 book , Rebel Without a Cause : The Hypnoanalysis of a Criminal Psychopath . The film itself , however , does not reference Lindner 's book in any way . Warner Bros. released the film on October 27 , 1955 .   Over the years , the film has achieved landmark status for the acting of cultural icon James Dean , fresh from his Oscar nominated role in East of Eden and who died before the film 's release , in his most celebrated role . This was the only film during Dean 's lifetime in which he received top billing . In 1990 , Rebel Without a Cause was added to the Library of Congress 's National Film Registry as being deemed `` culturally , historically , and aesthetically significant '' .

neg: The Great Moment (1944 film) The Great Moment is a 1944 biographical film written and directed by Preston Sturges . Based on the book Triumph Over Pain ( 1940 ) by René Fülöp-Miller , it tells the story of Dr. William Thomas Green Morton , a 19th-century Boston dentist who discovered the use of ether for general anesthesia . The film stars Joel McCrea and Betty Field , and features Harry Carey , William Demarest , Franklin Pangborn and Porter Hall .   The movie was filmed in 1942 but not released for over two years , and the released version differed from what Preston Sturges had wished , although he publicly accepted the film as his own . Paramount Pictures disliked the film Sturges had made , and pulled it from his control , re-titled and re-edited it , in the process making it ( especially in the early segment ) more confusing for the audience to understand . The studio 's released version was marketed in a way that made it appear to be one of Sturges ' comedies . The film was not well received by the critics or the public , and marked the end of a sustained run of success for Sturges , who had already left Paramount by the time the film was released .   Although rarely seen today , the film is worth viewing for its flashback structure -- comparable in some ways to Citizen Kane , which was influenced by the earlier film The Power and the Glory , for which Sturges wrote the screenplay -- and for its irreverent and subtly satirical tone , unusual for a time when most Hollywood biopics were over-inflated and sentimental . In 2003 a medical-dental historian in a lengthy analysis of the movie and its history -- which cited its flashback structure , timeless subject , injections of humor , and `` un-Pasteur-like '' treatment of its protagonist , while adhering reasonably well to the historical record -- concluded that `` The Great Moment may now be due for a general reevaluation by movie historians and critics who , like most folks , have never felt much affection for dentists past and present .

neg: Major film studio A major film studio is a production and film distributor that releases a substantial number of films annually and consistently commands a significant share of box office revenue in a given market . In the North American , Western , and global markets , the major film studios , often simply known as the majors , are commonly regarded as the six diversified media conglomerates whose various film production and distribution subsidiaries collectively command approximately 80 to 85 percent of U.S. and Canadian box office revenue . The term may also be applied more specifically to the primary motion picture business subsidiary of each respective conglomerate .   The `` Big Six '' majors , whose operations are based in or around the Los Angeles neighborhood of Hollywood , are all centered in film studios active during Hollywood 's Golden Age of the 1930s and 1940s . In three cases -- 20th Century Fox , Warner Bros. , and Paramount -- the studios were one of the `` Big Five '' majors during that era as well . In two cases -- Columbia and Universal -- the studios were also considered majors , but in the next tier down , part of the `` Little Three '' . In the sixth case , Walt Disney Studios was an independent production company during the Golden Age ; it was an important Hollywood entity , but not a major . Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer , United Artists , and RKO were majors .   Today , Disney is the only member of the Big Six whose parent entity is still located near Los Angeles ( actually , on Disney 's studio lot and in the same building ) . The five others report to conglomerates headquartered in New York City , Philadelphia , and Tokyo . Of the Big Six , Paramount is the only one still based in Hollywood , and Paramount and Fox are the only ones still located within the Los Angeles city limits , while Disney and Warner Bros. are located in Burbank , Columbia in Culver City , and Universal in the unincorporated area of Universal City .   Most of today 's Big Six control subsidiaries with their own distribution networks that concentrate on arthouse pictures ( e.g. Fox Searchlight Pictures ) or genre films ( e.g. Sony 's Screen Gems ) ; several of these specialty units were shut down or sold off between 2008 and 2010 . The six major studios are contrasted with smaller production and/or distribution companies , which are known as independents or `` indies '' . The leading independent producer/distributors -- Lionsgate Films , The Weinstein Company , and former major studio Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer -- are sometimes referred to as `` mini-majors '' . From 1998 through 2005 , DreamWorks SKG commanded a large enough market share to arguably qualify it as a seventh major , despite its relatively small output . In 2006 , DreamWorks was acquired by Viacom , Paramount 's corporate parent . In late 2008 , DreamWorks once again became an independent production company ; its films were distributed by Disney 's Touchstone Pictures until 2016 , at which point distribution switched to Universal .   The Big Six major studios are today primarily backers and distributors of films whose actual production is largely handled by independent companies -- either long-running entities or ones created for and dedicated to the making of a specific film . The specialty divisions often simply acquire distribution rights to pictures in which the studio has had no prior involvement . While the majors still do a modicum of true production , their activities are focused more in the areas of development , financing , marketing , and merchandising . Those business functions are still usually performed in or near Los Angeles , even though the runaway production phenomenon means that most films are now mostly or completely shot on location at places outside Los Angeles .   Since the dawn of filmmaking , the U.S. major film studios have dominated both American cinema and the global film industry . U.S. studios have benefited from a strong first-mover advantage in that they were the first to industrialize filmmaking and master the art of mass-producing and distributing high-quality films with broad cross-cultural appeal . Today , the Big Six majors routinely distribute hundreds of films every year into all significant international markets ( that is , where discretionary income is high enough for consumers to afford to watch films ) . It is very rare , if not impossible , for a film to reach a broad international audience on multiple continents and in multiple languages without first being picked up by one of the majors for distribution .

neg: Torin Thatcher Torin Thatcher ( 15 January 1905 -- 4 March 1981 ) was an English actor born in Bombay , British India , to English parents Torin James Blair Thatcher , a police officer , by his wife Edith Rachel , a voice and piano teacher , younger daughter of the Hon. Justice Sir Herbert Batty , a puisne judge of the High Court of Bombay . He was noted for his flashy portrayals of screen villains .   He was educated in Britain at Bedford School and at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art . He worked as a schoolmaster before first appearing on the London stage in 1927 and then entering British films in 1934 . He appeared in the 1937 Old Vic stage production of Hamlet , in which Laurence Olivier made his first appearance in the title role , opposite Vivien Leigh as Ophelia . During the Second World War , he served with the Royal Artillery and was demobilised with the rank of lieutenant colonel .   Thatcher appeared in classic British films of the late 1930s and 1940s , including Major Barbara ( 1941 ) and Great Expectations ( 1946 ) , in which he played Bentley Drummle . He moved to Hollywood in the 1950s . He was constantly in demand , invariably lending his looming figure and baleful countenance to sinister or stern roles in popular costume thrillers such as The Crimson Pirate ( 1952 ) , Blackbeard the Pirate ( 1952 ) , The Robe ( 1953 ) ( as the disapproving father of Marcellus ) , The Black Shield of Falworth ( 1954 ) , Helen of Troy ( 1956 ) , Darby 's Rangers ( 1958 ) and The 7th Voyage of Sinbad ( 1958 ) . He also appeared in the Marlon Brando and Trevor Howard 1962 remake of Mutiny on the Bounty .   He returned to the stage quite frequently , notably on Broadway , in such esteemed productions as Edward , My Son ( 1948 ) , That Lady ( 1949 ) and Billy Budd ( 1951 ) . In 1959 , he portrayed Captain Keller in the award-winning play The Miracle Worker with Anne Bancroft and Patty Duke . All of these plays were filmed , but Thatcher did not appear in the film versions .   Also a steady fixture on television , he appeared in such made-for-TV films as adaptations of A.J. Cronin 's Beyond This Place ( 1957 ) and The Citadel ( 1960 ) , Bonanza ( 1961 ) , and Brenda Starr ( 1976 ) . He also played the title role in a Philco Television Playhouse version of Othello and acted in a CBS production of Beyond This Place ( 1957 ) . He appeared in programmes such as The Real McCoys , Thriller , Gunsmoke , Perry Mason , Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea , Daniel Boone and Mission : Impossible . He was cast as the sly space trader in an episode of Lost in Space . Thatcher , if not for his distinguished career , has become recognised by several generations of fans of Star Trek : The Original Series from his performance as Marplon , secretly a member of the resistance in the episode `` The Return of the Archons '' .   Thatcher died of cancer on 4 March 1981 , in Thousand Oaks , California , USA .

neg: Jane Eyre (1910 film) Jane Eyre is a 1910 American silent short classic drama produced by the Thanhouser Film Corporation . Adapted from Charlotte Brontë 's 1847 novel , Jane Eyre , the film mirrors the events and plot of the original book . The writer of the scenario is unknown , but Lloyd Lonergan probably adapted the work . The film 's director is often and erroneously claimed to be Theodore Marston , but Barry O'Neil or Lloyd B. Carleton are possible candidates . The cast of the film was credited , an act rare and unusual in the era .   This was the first American , first English language and second or third worldwide movie adaptation , of at least 27 film and television versionsof the novel . Such repeated dissemination has made the Brontë sisters ' two major works ubiquitous .   The single reel film , approximately 1000 feet long , was released on May 6 , 1910 . It was later credited by Edwin Thanhouser as marking the assured success of the company . The popularity of the production resulted in the production of additional copies , so the Thanhouser company had more orders than could be filled . Critical reception to the film was generally positive , but with some minor criticisms . The film is presumed lost .
