The correct answer is Barbarian. The term barbarian is used to refer to members of a community or tribes who don´t belong to any particular civilization. They usually adopted a nomadic lifestyle based and possessed great strength.
The correct answer is Banishment. Vikings were a Scandinavian civilization which navigated throughout the Arctic Waters between the 8th and 11th centuries. Whenever one of them was put to trial and punishment, one common chastise was to banish or exile this individual from the reign. This would normally mean death, as weather conditions in the latitudes Vikings lived are harsh.
The correct answer is Monotheism. Vikings were introduced to Christianity when they learned to write in Latin. This form of religion would continue throughout their time.

Why is the Upper Tamakoshi Hydro Project called as a project of National Pride? in which sectors of national development are dir

sergejj [24]

Explanation:

The Upper Tamakoshi hydroelectric power station is a 456MW run-of-the-river project under construction on the Tamakoshi River in the Dolakha District, approximately 200km away from Kathmandu, Nepal.

Construction on the Upper Tamakoshi hydropower project was started in 2011 and was expected to be completed within six years. The project’s progress was, however, hampered due to an earthquake in April 2015. The facility is currently scheduled for commissioning by the end of 2019.

The developer and operator of the project is Upper Tamakoshi Hydropower Limited, an autonomous company established by Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) in March 2007.

The Upper Tamakoshi hydropower station is expected to produce 2,281GWh of electricity a year.

Upper Tamakoshi hydropower plant make-up

Upper Tamakoshi comprises a 22m-high and 60m-long concrete dam, two 225m-long de-sanding basins, an 8.4km-long headrace tunnel with 32.14m² of cross-sectional area, and an underground powerhouse (142m-long, 13m-wide, and 25m-high) equipped with six Pelton turbine units.

“The Upper Tamakoshi hydropower station is expected to produce 2,281GWh of electricity a year.”

The gross head height of the dam is 822m. Design flood and discharge capacities for the facility will be 885m³/s and 66m³/s, respectively.

Live storage capacity of the dam will be 1.2 million cubic metres. The 2.9km-long tailrace tunnel of the project will have a cross-sectional area of 35m².

Transmission and power purchase agreement

The power generated by the Upper Tamakoshi hydropower plant will be fed into the national grid through a 49km-long double circuit 220kV transmission line between Gongar and the Khimti power station.

The Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) and Upper Tamakoshi Hydropower Limited signed a draft power purchase agreement (PPA) for the project in 2011. The NEA agreed to purchase the power output of the plant at a yearly average rate of NPR3.50 a unit.

Contractors involved

Norconsult and Lahmeyer provided detailed project design, construction management and monitoring services for the project.

The civil works contract for the project was awarded to Sinohydro Corporation. Andritz Hydro was awarded the contract for the design, manufacturing, and supply of electromechanical equipment, including turbines and generators for the project.

KEC International was contracted for the supply and erection of transmission lines as well as the substation.

Texmaco, an engineering and infrastructure company based in India, was engaged for the hydro-mechanical works for the project.

Financing

The total construction cost of the project was estimated to be NPR35.29bn ($441m) in 2011. Loans were extended by Nepal’s Employees’ Provident Fund ($131.6m), Nepal Telecom ($78.97m), Citizen Investment Trust ($26.32m), and Rastriya Beema Sansthan (RBS, $26.32m) to finance the project.

The Government of Nepal committed to providing a loan of up to NPR11.08bn ($145.8m) for the project.

The project cost has been reportedly escalated by $41.8m due to the delay and disruption caused by the 2015 earthquake.

Culture can be defined as all the ways of life including arts, beliefs and institutions of a population that are passed down from generation to generation.

Culture is the lifeblood of a vibrant society, expressed in the many ways we tell our stories, celebrate, remember the past, entertain ourselves, and imagine the future.

Culture has been called "the way of life for an entire society." As such, it includes codes of manners, dress, language, religion, rituals, and art. The major elements of culture are symbols, language, norms, values, and artifacts.

How did the environment influence the American Indian cultures of the Northwest and Southwest?

Yuri [45]

Land

The Indians thought of land very differently to the white man. The land was sacred, there was no ownership, and it was created by the great spirit. They could not sell their land to others, whereas the white people could fence off the land which belonged to them, and sell it freely to whoever they wanted. The Europeans didn't think that the Indians were using the land properly, so in their eyes, they were doing a good favour to the earth. To the Indians, the land was more valuable than the money that the white man had brought with him, even though it didn't belong to them.

Indians lived all over America, in many different environments including the flatlands, the forests, the mountains, the deserts, the prairies, on the coast, and even in the arctic. All these Environments affected the different Indians in different ways, so that different Indians evolved over time.

Religion

Religion was a very big part in many Indians life. Almost every part of Indian life is related to religion, the land is sacred, and religion plays a part in what can be done with it, the first Indians had many different religions, and they continued to have religion for the whole of their lives. Dress was affected, many Indians wore special clothes and jewellery of religious importance. Religion often changed family life, the children respected their elders, especially their grandparents, and the Indians believed in divorce and marriage. Education was religious, the boys were taught to hunt, and the girls to treat leather and prepare food. The Indians believed all life to be sacred, but it could be hunted, as long as it was treated with respect, so this affected the way they hunted, and what food they had.

Shelter

The environment also affected the Indians shelter in many ways. Depending on where they lived, the Indian tribes had different ways of protecting themselves from the elements using the available resources, and different designs for the general climate. For example, the Indians living in the mountainous and semi-desert areas of the south west lived in light twig shacks and log huts, whereas the Inuits of the sub arctic north America built igloos, and the woodland Indians lived in bark covered houses.

Food

The Indians food was decided by the environment that they lived in. Most of the food that the Indians ate was hunted, so that means that the main part of their diet was the animals that lived around them in the same environment as them. Buffalo in the plains, Deer and Rabbit in the south west, Elk, Moose and Deer in the north east, and mainly Fish in the south east.

The food that was produced by Indians was also important for family life, and religion; if you can provide for your family well, then you'd make a good husband / wife. This was shown when two Indians are attracted, the parents of each would take a leg of venison to the other, and say, "my son killed this deer", or a dish of beans that their daughter had prepared.

The First Americas

People think that the first Indians crossed to America thousands of years ago, in the ice age. Because of the water freezing, the sea level drops, and it was possible to cross via a thin bit of land which had been revealed when the sea fell between America and Siberia. They might have been hunting and slowly followed the animals across. There was many different cultures, in different groups of Indians, but most of them died away, including the Magan culture, the Aztecs, Anasazi, Hopewell, and the Omlecs. When the Europeans came and found some Indians, along with the remain of the many cultures, a lot of them found it very difficult to believe that the Indians could be so civilised, or as powerful as the remains suggest.

Education

The environment changed the way in which the young Indians were taught, and also what they were taught. But Education was probably one of the least affected thing by the environment, all Indians were taught to respect their elders, from an early age, especially their grandparents, who were the ones who taught them everything, not the parents, although they may teach a little. Boys were taught to hunt, and girls to prepare food and pick berries etc.

Dress

Most Indians used materials from the local environment for clothing, until the whites came and trading began. Clothing was usually made from deerskin. The women spent a long time preparing the skin, and took pride in how well the clothes were made. The clothes that Indians wore were of great religious importance too. When an Indian was preparing to be a warrior, he would often have all his hair pulled out, and his ears cut around the edges so that ear rings and other ornaments could be worn.
