Mueda is the largest town of the Makonde Plateau in northeastern Mozambique and the capital of the Mueda District. It was founded around a Portuguese colonial army barracks.
The town was the site of the Massacre of Mueda on June 16, 1960, when Portuguese troops fired on a peaceful demonstration against high taxation and threw some demonstrators into a ravine. Resentment generated by these events led ultimately to the Mozambique War of Independence. The site of the massacre is marked by a statue.
Mueda is also the center of the culture of the Makondes, whose ebony sculptures are universally known.
Mueda is located on a high plateau, the Planalto de Mueda, where the climate is excellent, but where, because of the permeable soil, water infiltrates with great depth, making it difficult to supply drinking water.
About 1970, Portugal built a system to supply drinkable water, under the direction of the engineer Canhoto. The work was completed ten years later by the Mozambican government, with the assistance of UNICEF and Swiss co-operation.
A goal from mark is an antiquated scoring move in rugby union. It occurred when a player “marked” the ball by making a fair catch and shouting “mark”. From this position the player cannot be tackled. The player then has the option of a free kick, which can be taken as a place, drop, or tap kick.
In the modern game, a goal cannot be scored from a free kick, but in the past the reward for scoring a “goal from mark” (which is a difficult kick to play) was three or four points.
An example of this occurred in the Oxford and Cambridge Varsity Match
This rule is alive and well in Australian rules football where it is a major feature of the game. Players compete to catch a kicked ball and the catcher is said to have taken a mark. While an opponent stands on the mark the player can kick it to another player creating a sequence of marks as the ball advances down the ground or if within range can kick at the goal.
A buckle (from Latin buccula) is a clasp used for fastening two things together, such as the ends of a belt, or for retaining the end of a strap. Before the invention of the zipper, buckles were commonly used to fasten boots and other shoes.
Buckles were used in ancient Greece and Rome, particularly in military equipment and military dress. The word buckle stems from the vulgar Latin bucca mouth, because of the shape.
Buckles were also commonly used in the Celtic civilisation. Because of the simplicity and durability of the buckle, it became popular in harnesses and embroidery, especially in shoes and boots. It was commonly used as a typical clasp for clothing until the zipper was invented.
Today, the buckle is most commonly used for belts, although it is still used in shoes and particularly boots. Tanker boots employ the use of buckles because of the disadvantages of laces.
Buckles can also be seen on backpacks, watches and other wrist jewelry, or for ornamental purposes on other various objects. Buckles are also commonly seen in modern gothic fashion.
A buckle can refer to a seat belt or safety belt, as in the term, “buckle up.”
In Canadian heraldry, a buckle is the brisure of an eighth daughter.

Player Manager was a football management game, released in 1990. It was notable for being the first game to combine both managing the team and playing as a single player. The match engine borrowed heavily off the Kick Off match engine, which was developed by Dino Dini and Anco, who also created Player Manager. This was the first in a series of games called Player Manager.
Players would take control of a third division side as player-manager, acting in both managing and playing aspects. The latter option was optional, since players could chose whether to control the player only or the entire team from the outset. They can opt to do neither, if they choose not to play the matches personally.
Notably, you could save your team and transfer it over to Kick Off 2, to play as the team.

“Don’t Let’s Start” is a They Might Be Giants song originally from the self-titled They Might Be Giants album. It was released as a single (Don’t Let’s Start (EP)) at this time. It has also appeared on Then: The Earlier Years and .
Its lyrics are typically abstract for an early They Might Be Giants song, though its musings on love and life appear to stem from an impending romantic turmoil suggested in the chorus. Although the song is known for such dreary, pointed statements as “everybody dies frustrated and sad, and that is beautiful,” John Linnell has repeatedly insisted (as in a 2003 interview with NPR’s Terry Gross) that some of its lyrical twists, though pondered extensively by fans, were constructed merely to complement the melody and have no deep meaning.
The song also led to a music video that was popular for some time on MTV. In it, the band is featured wearing rolled up cardboard with fabric stapled to the outside on their heads. The location in which the video was filmed is the site of the 1964 New York World’s Fair in Queens, which would later be mentioned in “Ana Ng”. The face used in the video is that of William Allen White. His face has also been used for props at TMBG concerts. It appears on the Don’t Let’s Start CD single, and otherwise can frequently be found associated with TMBG.
The song was covered by the band Common Rotation on their album The Big Fear, and is quoted by Jimmy Eat World in “A Praise Chorus” on their 2001 CD, Bleed American.
When asked about the meaning of the song, Linnell replied that it was about “not let’s starting”.
Don’t Let’s Start is also the name of an upcoming 2008 Film, with characters that take their names from various They Might Be Giants’ songs, such as Ana Ng.*
