More generally , it includes all persons in the United States who self-identify as Hispanic or Latino , whether of full or partial ancestry . For the 2010 United States Census , people counted as `` Hispanic '' or `` Latino '' were those who identified as one of the specific Hispanic or Latino categories listed on the census questionnaire ( `` Mexican , '' `` Puerto Rican , '' or `` Cuban '' ) as well as those who indicated that they were `` other Spanish , Hispanic , or Latino . '' The national origins classified as Hispanic or Latino by the United States Census Bureau are the following : Spanish , Argentine , Cuban , Colombian , Puerto Rican , Mexican , Dominican , Costa Rican , Guatemalan , Honduran , Nicaraguan , Panamanian , Salvadoran , Bolivian , Chilean , Ecuadorian , Paraguayan , Peruvian , Uruguayan , and Venezuelan . Other U.S. government agencies have slightly different definitions of the term , including Portuguese and Brazilians . The Census Bureau uses the terms Hispanic and Latino interchangeably . `` Origin '' can be viewed as the ancestry , nationality group , lineage , or country of birth of the person or the person 's parents or ancestors before their arrival in the United States . People who identify as Spanish , Hispanic , or Latino may be of any race . As the only specifically designated category of ethnicity in the United States ( other than non-Hispanic/Latino ) , Hispanics form a pan-ethnicity incorporating a diversity of inter-related cultural and linguistic heritages . Most Hispanic Americans are of Mexican , Puerto Rican , Cuban , Salvadoran , Dominican , Guatemalan , or Colombian origin . The predominant origin of regional Hispanic populations varies widely in different locations across the country . Hispanic Americans are the second fastest-growing ethnic group in the United States after Asian Americans . Hispanic/Latinos overall are the second-largest ethnic group in the United States , after non-Hispanic Whites ( a group which , like Hispanics and Latinos , is composed of dozens of sub-groups of differing national origin ) . Hispanics have lived within what is now the United States continuously since the founding of St. Augustine by the Spanish in 1565 . After Native Americans , Hispanics are the oldest ethnic group to inhabit much of what is today the United States . Many have Native American ancestry . Spain colonized large areas of what is today the American Southwest and West Coast , as well as Florida . Its holdings included present-day California , New Mexico , Nevada , Arizona , and Texas , all of which were part of the Republic of Mexico from its independence in 1821 until the end of the Mexican -- American War in 1848 ."

He is the lead singer of the British rock band Blur and co-founder , vocalist , instrumentalist and principal songwriter of the virtual band Gorillaz . Raised in Leytonstone , East London and around Colchester , Essex , Albarn attended the Stanway School , where he met Graham Coxon and eventually formed Blur , whose debut album Leisure was released in 1991 to mixed reviews . After spending long periods of time touring the US , Albarn 's songwriting became increasingly influenced by British bands from the 1960s . The result of these influences came in the form of Modern Life Is Rubbish ( 1993 ) , Parklife ( 1994 ) and The Great Escape ( 1995 ) . All three albums received critical acclaim while Blur gained mass popularity in the UK , aided by a Britpop rivalry with Oasis . Subsequent albums such as Blur ( 1997 ) , 13 ( 1999 ) , Think Tank ( 2003 ) and The Magic Whip ( 2015 ) contained influences from lo-fi , electronic and hip hop music . Along with Tank Girl creator Jamie Hewlett , Albarn formed the `` virtual band '' Gorillaz in 1998 . Drawing influences from alternative rock , trip hop , hip hop , electronica , dub , reggae and pop music , the band released their self-titled debut album in 2001 to worldwide success . Although Albarn is the only permanent musical contributor , the albums feature collaborations from a wide range of artists . Gorillaz are cited by the Guinness Book of World Records as the `` Most Successful Virtual Band '' . Other projects include working with African musicians in aid of the charity Oxfam , writing and performing lead vocals on The Good , the Bad & the Queen as part of an unnamed supergroup and composing film soundtracks . He has also ventured into the world of opera with Dr Dee and Monkey : Journey to the West . His debut solo studio album Everyday Robots -- co-produced by XL Recordings CEO Richard Russell -- was released on 28 April 2014 and featured collaborations with Brian Eno , Natasha Khan and the Leytonstone City Pentecostal Mission Church Choir as well as sampling several rants by Lord Buckley . In 2008 , The Daily Telegraph ranked Albarn number 18 in their list of the `` 100 most powerful people in British culture '' . In a 2010 UK poll for Q magazine Albarn was voted the fourth-greatest frontman of all time . He was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire ( OBE ) in the 2016 New Year Honours for services to music ."

Located in the coastal Banaadir region on the Indian Ocean , the city has served as an important port for millennia . , it has a population of 2,425,000 residents . Tradition and old records assert that southern Somalia , including the Mogadishu area , was historically inhabited by hunter-gatherers . These were later joined by Cushitic-speaking agro-pastoralists , who would go on to establish local aristocracies . During its medieval Golden Age , Mogadishu was ruled by the Muzaffar dynasty , a vassal of the Ajuran Sultanate . It subsequently fell under the control of an assortment of local Sultanates and polities , most notably the Sultanate of the Geledi . The city later became the capital of Italian Somaliland ( 1889 -- 1936 ) in the colonial period . After the Somali Republic became independent in 1960 , Mogadishu became known and promoted as the White Pearl of the Indian Ocean . After the ousting of the Siad Barre regime in 1991 and the ensuing Somali Civil War , various militias fought for control of the city , later to be replaced by the Islamic Courts Union in the mid-2000s . The ICU thereafter splintered into more radical groups , notably al-Shabaab , which fought the Transitional Federal Government ( 2004 -- 2012 ) and its African Union Mission to Somalia allies . With a change in administration in late 2010 , government troops and their military partners had succeeded in forcing out Al-Shabaab by August 2011 . Mogadishu has subsequently experienced a period of intense reconstruction . As Somalia 's capital city , many important national institutions are based in Mogadishu . It is the seat of the Federal Government of Somalia established in August 2012 , with the Somalia Federal Parliament serving as the government 's legislative branch . Thabit Abdi Mohammed has been the Mayor of Mogadishu since April 2017 . Villa Somalia is the official residential palace and principal workplace of the President of Somalia , Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed . In May 2012 , the First Somali Bank was established in the capital , which organized Mogadishu 's first ever Technology , Entertainment , Design ( TEDx ) conference . The establishment of a local construction yard has also galvanized the city 's real-estate sector . Arba'a Rukun Mosque is one of the oldest Islamic places of worship in the capital , built circa 667 ( 1268/9 AD ) . The Mosque of Islamic Solidarity in Mogadishu is the largest masjid in the Horn region . Mogadishu Cathedral was built in 1928 by the colonial authorities in Italian Somaliland in a Norman Gothic style , and served as the traditional seat of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Mogadiscio . The National Museum of Somalia is based in Mogadishu and holds many culturally important artefacts . The National Library of Somalia is undergoing a $ 1 million Somali federal government funded renovation , including a new library complex . Mogadishu is home to a number of scholastic and media institutions . As part of the municipality 's urban renewal program , 100 schools across the capital are scheduled to be refurbished and reopened . The Somali National University ( SNU ) was established in the 1950s , and professors from the university later founded the non-governmental Mogadishu University ( MU ) . Benadir University ( BU ) was established in 2002 with the intention of training doctors . Various national sporting bodies have their headquarters in Mogadishu , including the Somali Football Federation and the Somali Olympic Committee . Mogadishu Stadium was constructed in 1978 during the Siad Barre administration , with the assistance of Chinese engineers . It hosts football matches with teams from the Somali First Division and the Somalia Cup . Additionally , the Port of Mogadishu serves as a major national seaport and is the largest harbour in Somalia . Mogadishu International Airport , the capital 's main airport , is the hub of the national carrier Somali Airlines ."

They were also known as the Joint Islamic Courts , Union of Islamic Courts ( UIC ) , Supreme Islamic Courts Council ( SICC ) or the Supreme Council of Islamic Courts ( SCIC ) . Western media often refer to the group as Somali Islamists . Until the end of 2006 , they controlled most of southern Somalia and the vast majority of its population , including most major cities such as Jowhar , Kismayo , Beledweyne , and the capital Mogadishu . The ICU was supported by warlord Yusuf `` Indho Ade '' Mohamed Siad who ruled Lower Shabelle but later became defense chief of the ICU , who aided in the defeat of the Mogadishu warlords . Only the Northern regions ( Puntland , Somaliland ) , and the furthest interior regions of the south were outside their control . In December 2006 , the ICU lost much territory after defeats at the battles of Baidoa , Bandiradley , and Beledweyne , retreating to the capital , Mogadishu . On 28 December they abandoned Mogadishu , leaving the city in chaos while they moved south towards Kismayo , which allowed the TFG and Ethiopian troops to take over the city . After a stand at the Battle of Jilib , the ICU abandoned the city of Kismayo on 1 January 2007 . Stripped of almost all their territory , it was speculated the ICU would pursue guerrilla-style warfare against the government . Instead , hardline Islamists broke ranks from the ICU and formed other militant groups , such as Al-Shabaab and Hizbul Islam , to continue the war against the government . The less-militant members of the ICU went into exile in Eritrea and Djibouti , where they formed the Alliance for the Re-Liberation of Somalia in September 2007 . In the two years following the ICU 's ouster from Mogadishu , the hardline Islamist groups concentrated their power in the south and west of Somalia , taking ground from both the TFG and ICU . By January 2009 , a reconciliation and powersharing deal was brokered between the Transitional Federal Government ( TFG ) and the Djibouti contingent from the former Islamic Courts Union which resulted in the expansion of the Parliament and the election of Sheik Sharif Ahmed , former leader of the ICU , as President of the Transitional Federal Government ."

The battle 's name usually includes the year , when referenced , in order to distinguish it amongst the nine major Battles of Mogadishu during the decades long Somali Civil War . The Islamist offensive lasted from 8 May to 14 May and ended with relative success as they managed to take control over most of the capital , while ARS-D and government ( TFG ) forces withdrew into AMISOM protected territories . But despite major gains , the rebels failed to topple the government during the eight days of fighting and small scale clashes continued until 22 May , when the government launched a major offensive to retake the city , as Islamist forces had mostly withdrawn into the Central Region and the government was now backed by powerful warlord Indho Ade . The government offensive initially had some success as they captured a few bases , however in a matter of hours the Islamist launched a successful counter offensive and re-captured the lost areas and made even more gains . As a result , the government offensive was aborted on 23 May . The offensive was however resumed on 1 June , resulting in a third round of fighting which lasted until 4 June and saw the government make enormous gains . Islamists launched a new offensive on 16 June , lasting until 23 June , entering government strongholds in Eastern Mogadishu for the first time , the offensive was relatively successful and saw most neighbourhoods in Kaaraan , Shibis , Abdiaziz and Wardhigley fall to their control . The government launched another offensive on 1 July , insurgents however successfully repelled the offensive , making gains until 5 July , when al-Shabaab 's leader Sheikh Moktar Ali Zubeyr gave government forces a five-day ultimatum to hand over their weapons . The ultimatum was however rejected and so , al-Shabaab launched several attacks on key sites in the city provoking a major government offensive on 11 -- 12 July , which led to a total expulsion of Islamist forces from the city . Islamists however returned on 13 July , with large re-enforcements from the South Eastern Region , government forces withdrew from all captured positions and minor clashes continued . A Seventh round of fighting was finally held between 21 and 27 August , which ended mostly indecisive . In early October the Al-Shabaab-Hizbul Islam alliance was broken by a power struggle in Kisimayo were after the two groups turned on each other . Both groups kept up their fight with the TFG however the split between the two groups marked a downwards trend in violence .

A small blue-collar community , Mount Savage lies at the base of Big Savage Mountain in the Allegheny Mountains , between the cities of Frostburg and Cumberland . It began as a small farming settlement in the mid-19th century , but it was not until 1844 that the region was put on the nation 's map with the pressing of the first iron rail in the United States . After this claim to fame , Mount Savage became the fifth largest city in Maryland . Named as the headquarters for the Mount Savage Railroad and later the Cumberland and Pennsylvania Railroad ( C&P ) , the area was deemed an industrial center . In addition to the rail businesses , Mount Savage attracted a foundry , two brick refractories , and several local merchants . In this company town , the industries shaped the economy and topography of Mount Savage , building housing for workers and donating land for schools , churches , and other public buildings . It was a cultural melting pot attracting English businessmen and Irish , Scottish , Welsh , Italian , and German workers . With this diverse mix of cultures , the identity of Mount Savage was molded into a close-knit community . Despite the loss of the industries to the region , Mount Savage continues to celebrate its hard-working traditions .

She was one of a number of women computers employed at Cambridge Observatory between 1876 and 1904 . Unlike most of these women , Walker remained at the observatory for a significant period of time . Walker was born at Wickham Market , Suffolk in 1864 . She was employed by the observatory in 1879 at the age of 15 , and remained there for 24 years , working under astronomers John Couch Adams and Robert Stawell Ball . She worked most directly with the observatory 's senior assistant at the time , Andrew Graham . The observatory necessitated that only two observers worked at any one time . Up until 1892 , Walker substituted for Graham 's current assistant Henry Todd when Todd 's ill health prevented him from observing . That Walker was making transit observations with the meridian circle in the mid-1880s is clear from an observatory report that stated her work was interrupted by an earth tremor on 22 April 1884 , when she had to stop while wires in the eyepiece vibrated . From 1892 , Walker became Graham 's observation partner and from 1894 to 1896 , she observed alone . Andrew Graham retired in 1903 at the age of eighty-eight . Anne Walker resigned at the same time as him , bringing her astronomical career at the Cambridge Observatory to an end after 21 years . It has been suggested that Walker was much more than a routine computer , and that she took part in observations with Graham . If true , this makes her the second woman ( after Caroline Herschel ) to have been recorded formally engaging in night-time astronomical observations ."

"text": "The Cretaceous Terrestrial Revolution ( abbreviated KTR ) describes the intense diversification of angiosperms , insects , reptiles , birds , and mammals during the Middle to Late Cretaceous ( 125-80 mya ) . Before the paper described the KTR , it had been widely accepted in paleontology that new families of dinosaurs evolved during Mid to Late Cretaceous , including the euhadrosaurs , neoceratopsians , ankylosaurids , pachycephalosaurs , caracharodontosaurines , troodontids , dromaeosaurs , and ornithomimosaurs . However , the authors of the paper have suggested that the apparent `` new diversification '' of dinosaurs during this time is due to sampling biases in the fossil record , and better preserved fossils in Cretaceous age sediments than in earlier Triassic or Jurassic sediments . After the publication of the paper , many news organizations misrepresented the findings by stating that dinosaurs seemed to have stopped evolving during the end of their reign . This may reflect cultural bias ( bio-bigotry to the advantage of mammals , i.e. humans ) because the actual journal article states right in the abstract that `` dinosaurs did not experience a progressive decline at the end of the Cretaceous , nor was their evolution driven directly by the KTR . '' A comprehensive molecular study of evolution of mammals at the taxonomic level of family also showed important diversification during the KTR . Similarly , bee pollinator diversification strongly correlates with angiosperm flower appearance and specialization during the same era ."

The last paratype is the shoulder end of a left coracoid , catalog number PIN 4499-13 . All three fossils are in the collection of the Paleontological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences . The material is depicted in the journal with both photographs and illustrations . The humeral head is around 29mm wide . The largest enantiornithine from the Early Cretaceous is Pengornis , with a humeral head width of ( 17mm ) . Kurochkin also mentions that `` The additional distal portions of the ulna , radius , and carpometacarpus from the same beds also very probably belong to the Enantiornithes . '' This passage may describe PIN 4499-1 , which was later assigned to Teviornis . Kurochkin also adds that G. nessovi demonstrates that there were large Enantiornithids in Central Asia as well as the Americas at the end of the Cretaceous ."

"text": "The dinosaurs of Romania are exclusively Cretaceous . Lowermost Cretaceous dinosaurs come from a bauxite mine in the Bihor County ( northwest Romania ) that has yielded thousands of disarticulated bones . Uppermost Cretaceous dinosaurs have been known from the Hațeg Basin ( south Transylvania ) since the end of the 19th century , mostly as bone concentrations ( fossiliferous pockets ) ; more recently , nests with dinosaur eggs , including hatchlings , have been found in Hațeg . Although separated by a gap of approximately 60 million years , the two dinosaur faunas from Romania share some common features : predominance of ornithopods , absence of large theropods ( although the Maastrichtian Hațeg assemblage has several small theropods ) , and , in general , the small size of the individuals ( see also insular dwarfism ) . The discovery of dinosaur bones in a bauxite mine at Cornet-Brusturi , near Oradea ( Bihor County ) was made accidentally by two miners in 1978 during ore exploitation . Almost at the same time , research in the already known Uppermost Cretaceous dinosaur-bearing deposits from the Hațeg Basin were restarted by Dan Grigorescu , after an interruption of more than 60 years , since Franz Nopcsa 's work in the region . The Berriasian bauxite deposits at Cornet have yielded approximately 10,000 bones and bone fragments , mainly from ornithopod dinosaurs and rarer pterosaurs . The region was located to the east of the Piemont-Liguria Ocean , and during the Early Cretaceous formed an archipelago of coral and volcanic islands , not too dissimilar to today 's Indonesia or the Caribbean . As the Apulian Plate moved northwest towards the end of the Cretaceous and the beginning of the uplift of the Alpide belt , the offshore Hațeg Island was formed at the rim of the shrinking Tethys Ocean . Among the species that lived here are : Zalmoxes , Telmatosaurus , Balaur , Rhabdodon , Magyarosaurus and Struthiosaurus . Other prehistoric creatures that lived among them , without being dinosaurs are : Allodaposuchus and Hatzegopteryx ."

It is the beginning of the Cenozoic Era of the present Phanerozoic Eon . The Paleogene is most notable for being the time during which mammals diversified from relatively small , simple forms into a large group of diverse animals in the wake of the Cretaceous -- Paleogene extinction event that ended the preceding Cretaceous Period . This period consists of the Paleocene , Eocene and Oligocene epochs . The end of the Paleocene ( 55.5 / 54.8 Mya ) was marked by the Paleocene -- Eocene Thermal Maximum , one of the most significant periods of global change during the Cenozoic , which upset oceanic and atmospheric circulation and led to the extinction of numerous deep-sea benthic foraminifera and on land , a major turnover in mammals . The terms ` Paleogene System ' ( formal ) and ` lower Tertiary System ' ( informal ) are applied to the rocks deposited during the ` Paleogene Period ' . The somewhat confusing terminology seems to be due to attempts to deal with the comparatively fine subdivisions of time possible in the relatively recent geologic past , for which more details are preserved . By dividing the Tertiary Period into two periods instead of directly into five epochs , the periods are more closely comparable to the duration of ` periods ' of the preceding Mesozoic and Paleozoic Eras ."

"title": "",
"text": "Since the 19th century , a significant amount of research has been conducted on the Cretaceous -- Paleogene extinction event , the mass extinction that ended the dinosaur-dominated Mesozoic Era and set the stage for the Age of Mammals , or Cenozoic Era . A chronology of this research is presented here . Paleontologists have recognized that a significant transition occurred between the Mesozoic and Cenozoic eras at least since the 1820s . Around this time dinosaur fossils were first being described in the scientific literature . Nevertheless , so few dinosaurs were known that the significance of their passing went unrecognized and little scientific effort was exerted toward finding an explanation . As more and more different kinds of dinosaurs were discovered , their extinction and replacement by mammals was recognized as significant but dismissed with little examination as a natural consequence of the mammals ' supposed innate superiority . Consequently , paleontologist Michael J. Benton has called the years up to 1920 as the `` Nonquestion Phase '' of Cretaceous -- Paleogene extinction research . Ideas that evolution might proceed along pre-ordained patterns or that evolutionary lineages might age , deteriorate , and die like individual animals became popular starting in the late 19th century , but were superseded by the Neo-Darwinian synthesis . The aftermath of this transition brought renewed interest to the extinction at the end of the Cretaceous . Paleontologists began dabbling in the subject , proposing environmental changes during the Cretaceous like mountain-building , dropping temperatures or volcanic eruptions as explanation for the extinction of the dinosaurs . Nevertheless , much of the research occurring during this period lacked rigor , evidential support or depended on tenuous assumptions . Michael J. Benton called the years between 1920 and 1970 the `` dilettante Phase '' of Cretaceous -- Paleogene extinction research . In 1970 , paleontologists began studying the Cretaceous -- Paleogene extinction in a detailed , rigorous way . Benton considered this to be the beginning of the `` Professional Phase '' of Cretaceous -- Paleogene extinction research . Early in this phase , the pace of the extinctions and the potential role of the Deccan Traps volcanism in India were major subjects of interest . In 1980 , father and son duo Luis and Walter Alvarez reported anomalously high levels of the platinum group metal iridium from the K -- Pg boundary , but because iridium is rare in Earth 's crust they argued that an asteroid impact was needed to account for it . This suggestion set off a bitter controversy . Evidence for an impact continued to mount , like the discovery of shocked quartz at the K -- Pg boundary . In 1991 , Alan Hildebrand and William Boynton reported the Chicxulub crater in the Yucatan peninsula of Mexico as a probable impact site . While the controversy continued , the accumulating evidence gradually began to sway the scientific community toward the Alvarez hypothesis . In 2010 , an international panel of researchers concluded that impact best explained the extinction event and that Chicxulub was indeed the resulting crater ."
