| ARTICLES RELATED TO Province | | | |  Province: Encyclopedia II - Huang He - Characteristics of the riverThe Huang He is notable for the amount of silt it carries, 1.6 billion tons where it emerges from the Loess Plateau. If the river is running to the sea with sufficient volume, 1.4 billion tons are carried to the sea. In modern times, since 1972 when it first went dry, the river has gone dry in its lower reaches, from Jinan to the sea, in most years, in 1997 for 226 days. The low volume of the river is due to increased demands on the river for use in irrigation which has increased by a factor of five since 1950. Water diverted from the river ...

| | | | | Province: Encyclopedia II - Lieutenant governor - Canada In Canada, the Lieutenant-Governor (typically with a hyphen[1]) is the Queen's, or Crown, representative in a province, much as the Governor General is her representative at the national level. The lieutenant-governor is therefore the province's vice-regal representative, but has little or no executive role.
Similar positions in Canada's three territories are termed Commissioners and are representatives of the federal government, however, not the Queen ...

| | | | | Province: Encyclopedia II - Trabzon - History Originally founded as Trapezus by traders from Miletus (traditionally in 756 BC), the city was one of a number (about ten) of Milesian emporia, or trading colonies along the shores of the Black Sea. Others include Sinope, Abydos and Cyzicus (in the Dardanelles). Like most Greek colonies, the city was a small enclave of Greek life, and not an empire unto its own, in the later European sense of the word. When Xenophon and the "ten thousand" Greek mercenaries fighting their way out of Persia, reached Trapezus, it was the first Greek city they had reached ( ...

| | | | | Province: Encyclopedia II - Formosa Province - Economy Poorly industralized, Formosa's economy is based in cattle and agriculture, the last one centred in the Patino, Pilagás, and Pilcomayo departments.
Cattle counts over 1 million and a half of heads and it has been long the main economy activity of the province.
Cotton cultivation passed from over 100,000 tons at the end of the 1970s to 10,000 at the end of the 1990s because of the drop of the international price, and the fixed exchange rate.

| | | | | Province: Encyclopedia II - Geography - Structure of geography William Hughes - who taught the geography of the Holy Lands to divinity students at King's College London - defined geography in an address in 1863:
"Mere place names are not geography. To know by heart a whole gazeteer full of them would not, in itself, constitute anyone a geographer. Geography has higher aims than this: it seeks to classify phenomena (alike of the natural and of the political world insofar as it treats of the latter) to compare, to generalise, to ascend from effects to causes and in doing so to trace out th ...

| | | | | Province: Encyclopedia II - Fiji election of 2006 - Election characterized by ethnic politics Elections in Fiji are characterized by two fundamental realities.
Firstly, for the past generation, the basic faultline of Fijian politics is not ideological, but ethnic, with most political parties appealing mainly to a single ethnic group, although many parties would say that is not their intention.
Secondly, the electoral system is based on transferable voting. Known locally as the "Alternative Vote," this system incorporates elements of both instant run-off voting and electoral fusion. Votes cast for low- ...
