The Magdalen Islands (French: les Îles de la Madeleine [lez‿il də la madˈlɛn]) are a small archipelago in the Gulf of Saint Lawrence with a land area of 205.53 square kilometres (79.36 sq mi). Though closer to Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia, the islands are part of the Canadian province of Quebec.
The islands form the territory equivalent to a regional county municipality (TE) and census division (CD) of Les Îles-de-la-Madeleine. Its geographical code is 01.
The islands also form the urban agglomeration of Les Îles-de-la-Madeleine, divided into two municipalities. These are Les Îles-de-la-Madeleine (2011 census pop. 12,291), the central municipality, and Grosse-Île (pop. 490). The mayors are Jonathan Lapierre and Rose Elmonde Clarke, respectively.

Geography[edit]
There are eight major islands: Amherst, Grande Entrée, Grindstone, Grosse-Île, House Harbour, Pointe-Aux-Loups, Entry Island and Brion.[1][2] All except Brion are inhabited. There are several other tiny islands that are also considered part of the archipelago: Bird Rock (Rocher aux Oiseaux), Seal Island (Île aux Loups-marins), Île Paquet and Rocher du Corps Mort.[3]
The islands' interiors were once completely covered with pine forests.[2] An ancient salt dome underlies the archipelago.[1][4] The inherent buoyancy of the salt forces the uplift of overlying Permian red sandstone.
Nearby salt domes are believed to be sources of fossil fuels.[5] Rock salt is mined on the Islands.[6]
History[edit]
In 1534, Jacques Cartier was the first known European to visit the islands. However, Mi'kmaqs had been visiting the islands for hundreds of years as part of a seasonal subsistence migration,[7] probably to harvest the abundant walrus population. A number of archaeological sites have been excavated on the archipelago.
The archipelago was named in 1663 by François Doublet (1619 or 1620 - approx. 1678), the seigneur of the island, after his wife, Madeleine Fontaine.[8] In 1765, the islands were inhabited by 22 French-speaking Acadians and their families. They were working and hunting walruses for British trader Richard Gridley. To this day, many inhabitants of the Magdalen Islands (Madelinots) fly the Acadian flag and identify as both Acadian and Québécois.
The islands were administered as part of the British Colony of Newfoundland from 1763 until 1774. That year they were joined to Quebec by the Quebec Act.

A segment of the population are descendants of survivors of the more than 400 shipwrecks on the islands. Some of the historic houses were built from wood from the shipwrecks.[9] The islands have some of Quebec's oldest English-speaking settlements. Although the majority of anglophones have long since assimilated with the francophone population or migrated elsewhere, English-speaking settlements are found at Old Harry, Grosse-Ile, and Entry Island. The islands are known for a children's French camp. Activities include sand-castle competitions and a night alone in the woods.
To improve ship safety, the government constructed lighthouses on the islands. They indicate navigable channels and have reduced the number of shipwrecks, but many old hulks are found on the beaches and under the waters.
Until the 20th century, the islands were completely isolated during the winter, since the pack ice made the trip to the mainland impassable by boat. The inhabitants of the islands had no means of communication with the mainland. An underwater cable was installed to enable communication by telegraph. In the winter of 1910, the cable broke and the islands were again isolated. Residents sent an urgent request for help to the mainland by writing letters and sealing them inside a molasses barrel (or puncheon), which they set adrift. It reached the shore on Cape Breton Island, where residents notified the government of the Madelinots' emergency. The government sent an icebreaker to bring aid. Within a few years, the government constructed new wireless telegraph stations on the Magdalens to ensure they had communication in the winter. The puncheon became famous as a symbol of survival; every tourist shop sells replicas.
At one time, large walrus herds were found near the islands but they had been destroyed by the end of the 18th century due to overhunting. In the 21st century, the islands' beaches provide habitat for the endangered piping plover and the roseate tern.

Climate[edit]
The maritime climate enjoyed by Magdalen Islands is markedly different from that of the mainland. The huge water masses that circle the archipelago temper the weather and create milder conditions in each season. On the islands, winter is mild, spring is cool, there are few heat waves in summer, and fall is typically warm. The Magdalen Islands have the least amount of annual frost in the Province of Québec. The warm breezes of summer persist well into September, and sometimes early October.[14] However, in spite of this under the Köppen climate classification its climate is humid continental, due to its winters averaging far below freezing by maritime standards.
The highest temperature ever recorded in Îles-de-la-Madeleine was 31.1 °C (88 °F) on 31 July 1949.[15] The coldest temperature ever recorded was −27.2 °C (−17 °F) on 14 February 1891.[15]

Tourism[edit]
Cliffs along the shore of Grosse Île
Tourism is a major industry on the Magdalen Islands. The islands have many kilometres of white sand beaches, along with steadily eroding sandstone cliffs. They are a destination for bicycle camping, sea kayaking, windsurfing and kitesurfing. During the winter months, beginning in mid-February, eco-tourists visit to observe new-born and young harp seal pups on the pack ice in the Gulf of St. Lawrence surrounding the islands.[citation needed]
Industry[edit]
The island is home to Canadian Salt Company Seleine Mines, which produces road salt for use in Quebec, Atlantic Canada and the United States' eastern seaboard.[18] Opened in 1982, the salt mine and plant is located in Grosse-Île and extracts salt from an underground mine 30 metres (98 ft) below Grande-Entrée Lagoon. It produces 1 million tons of salt, and employs 200 people.
Transportation[edit]
The Coopérative de transport maritime et aérien (Groupe C.T.M.A.) operates a ferry service between terminals in Souris, Prince Edward Island and Cap-aux-Meules. Groupe C.T.M.A. also operates a seasonal cruise ferry service between the islands and Montreal.[19]
The Magdalen Islands Airport at Havre-aux-Maisons offers scheduled air service to Labrador and mainland Quebec.

All the archipelago except Le Corps Mort now lie on a single submerged plateau surrounded by shallow, sun-warmed waters which gives the islands a long, mild summer for their latitude. This plateau is a weakly sloped mound resembling a huge alluvial fan 130 by 150 km; but it is in fact covered by a rather thin layer of sediment of modern origin as all sediments older than 20,000 years have been removed from the Magdalen shelf (Loring and Nota, 1973). The plateau's convex shape is formed by a "salt dome" of ancient origin.

History[edit]
Nick Bollettieri founded the Nick Bollettieri Tennis Academy in 1978. Sports and entertainment company IMG purchased the academy in 1987.[1] IMG acquired the youth division of the David Leadbetter Golf Academy in 1993 and added programs for soccer and baseball in 1994. Hockey and basketball programs were added in 2000 and 2001, respectively, and by 2002 the IMG campus had expanded to 190 acres (0.77 km2).[2] IMG Academy suspended its hockey program in 2003.[citation needed] Football was added in 2010,[3] as well as lacrosse.[4] Track & field and cross country were added in 2013.[5]
IMG Academy currently sits on 450 acres (180 ha) of land, and in 2011, IMG paid $7.5 million for an additional 110 acres (45 ha) adjacent to the current campus for future expansion.[1] In 2014, IMG purchased an additional 24 acres (9.7 ha). The land borders IMG's west campus, where the sports performance academy is undergoing a $198 million expansion.[6]
The IMG Pendleton School was founded in 1999 as a co-educational, college preparatory school for athletic students. In 2012, the school changed its name to "IMG Academy".[7] It delivers both academics and athletics.[8]
Programs[edit]
Bollettieri tennis[edit]
The Bollettieri tennis program offers year-round tennis camps ranging from one to five weeks in length and is led by director Rohan Goetzke.[9] The campus has 35 outdoor hard courts, 5 indoor hard courts, and 16 green clay courts.[10]
In 1987, thirty-two academy students or former students were in the Wimbledon draw and twenty-seven were in the U.S. Open. The famous students included Andre Agassi, Monica Seles, Jim Courier, Kei Nishikori, Anna Kournikova, Serena Williams, and Maria Sharapova.[citation needed]
American football[edit]
IMG announced the John Madden Football Academy in March 2010 and held its first camp from June 4–6, 2010. The football program offers a residency program and year-round camps ranging from three days to five weeks in length and was previously led by former NFL quarterback Chris Weinke.[11] The academy fielded a high school football team for the first time in 2013.[12] In 2013, MaxPreps called IMG Academy the "nation's top high school football facility."[13] IMG Academy named Kevin Wright the head coach in spring 2015 after Weinke accepted a position as quarterbacks coach with the Los Angeles Rams.[14] Wright guided the program to its first undefeated regular season (9–0) in 2015.[15]Earnest Byner, the running backs coach is featured in NFL Undiscovered, which featured overseas prospects who have little or no prior knowledge of the game since 2016.
Soccer[edit]
IMG Academy offers an Academy soccer program and year-round soccer camps. IMG Academy was home to U.S. Soccer's full-time residency program for the United States' U-16 and U-17 men's national teams. Started in 1999 and closed in 2017, it was an integral in developing the United States' top youth soccer prospects. The original idea of the residency program was to give elite players the opportunity to train in a professional environment as most MLS clubs did not have a substantial youth academy system in place prior to 2009. The Bradenton Academy has grown from an initial 20 players to 30 in 2002 and then to 40 in 2003. The program is now split into a U-16 squad and a U-17 squad.
A typical day for the student-athlete at Bradenton consists of academic classes in the morning followed by sports training in the afternoon. Students at the academy take accelerated courses and graduate high school a year early, making the players who do not turn pro immediately some of the most heavily recruited prospects in college soccer. The academy can trace its roots back to Project 2010 which highlighted ways U.S. Soccer could make the senior men's national team a legitimate threat to win the World Cup by the end of the decade. Two programs that were born from Project 2010 were Generation Adidas (previously called Project-40) and the Bradenton academy. The academy was started in January 1999 with the backing of IMG and Nike, but will be closed in 2017 due to the proliferation of U.S. Development Academy programs.[16]
Baseball[edit]
IMG Academy has an Academy baseball program and year-round camps, in addition to summer Wood Bat Leagues.[17]
Basketball[edit]
IMG Academy's post graduate program played in their only appearance in the 2016 National Prep Championship in New Haven, Connecticut. Among the teams were Brewster Academy, DME Academy, Elev-8 Sports Institute, Fork Union Military Academy, Hargrave Military Academy, IMG Academy, Northfield Mount Hermon School, and more.[18] The head coach of IMG’s national high school team is Sean McAloon, who previously was the head coach at St. John’s College High School in Washington, D.C.
Its basketball alumni include Dallas Mavericks forward Dwight Powell and Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac, the 6th overall pick of the 2017 NBA draft. In 2017, IMG Academy had its first two selections to the McDonald's All American Game, Trevon Duval was selected to the boys game and Rellah Boothe was selected to the girls game. In 2018, Anfernee Simons would enter directly from the academy to the 2018 NBA Draft, being the second player in the academy's history to do so and the third overall player to be drafted directly out of the high school.
During the preparation for the 2017 NBA Draft, the IMG Academy hosted their first ever draft combine. The Professional Basketball Combine would be held as an alternative (mainly for seniors) to measure their abilities and potentially give them the chance to enter the NBA, if not allow them the chance to play in the NBA G League or even overseas, with nearly every participant that year doing exactly that. Currently, four players that participated in the event signed two-way contracts to enter the NBA properly, with eight of them going overseas and 11 players entered the G League.[19] The event would be held once again in 2018, gaining more popularity that year with the participation of former UCLA player and current professional player LiAngelo Ball.[20]
Golf[edit]
IMG Academy has an Academy golf program and offers summer camps. The students and camp participants play on two golf courses in Sara Bay Country Club and IMG academy Golf Club. IMG's practice facilities include a big range which is open to golf students most of the day and a little range which is open to everyone 24/7.
Lacrosse[edit]
IMG Academy has an Academy lacrosse program and year-round camps. IMG Academy launched a high school team in 2012, featuring a new women's program made in 2018. Notable alumni include Tehoka Nanticoke[21], Marc-Antoine Pion[22], Zack Pinney and Nick Wood. Prior to that, IMG Academy hosted their first full-time lacrosse student-athlete, Matthew Xirinachs, starting in September 2010. Xirinachs went on to join the Drexel Men's Lacrosse Team in the fall of 2011.[23]
Track & field and cross country[edit]
IMG Academy has an Academy track & field and cross country program and year-round camps.[24]
Notable alumni[edit]

Since opening in 1978, IMG Academy has trained hundreds of Olympic and professional athletes, including those in the NBA, NFL, MLB, MLS, ATP, WTA, PGA Tour and LPGA Tour.

Brief historical background[edit]
[dubious – discuss] Ashanti Gold Standard Currency refined 1 oz Sika (1 troy ounce Sika) 500 Sika Gold Coin reverse (2002 Golden Jubilee of Elizabeth II; "Sika" = Ashanti Twi-word for "Gold") worth at gold market price $5,000 per 1 oz (1 troy ounce) of gold.[2]
Ghana economical inflation rate of change in percentage
The Central Bank of Ghana traces its roots to the Bank of the Gold Coast (BGC) or Ghana Commercial Bank, where it was nurtured. As soon as local politicians and economists saw political independence in sight in the mid-1950s the agitation for a central bank was revived. It was argued that a central bank was one institution which would give true meaning to political independence. It may be recalled that way back in 1947 some leading politicians had called for the establishment of a national bank with central bank functions to act as banker to government and to cater for the indigenous sector of the economy.
Proposals of the advocates for a central bank were accepted and in early 1955 another Select Committee was set up by the Government to take a new look at the Trevor Report and prepare the grounds for the establishment of a central bank in Ghana. Fortunately, the BGC had already set the stage for central banking: all that was needed was specially trained personnel in central banking and suitable accommodation for the bank to take off.
By the end of 1956, all was set for the establishment of the Bank of Ghana. A new and modern five-storey building had been put up on the High Street, adjacent to the Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) to house both the Bank of Ghana and the Ghana Commercial Bank (GCB).

In March 2012 the Bank of Ghana announced it would be making specific commitments to financial inclusion under the Maya Declaration.
Corporate profile[edit]
The first governor of the bank was Mr. Alfred Eggleston, the former Managing Director of BGC and an accomplished Scottish banker on secondment to Ghana from the Imperial Bank of India. His Deputy Governor was one Mr. Douglas F. Stone, another renowned British central banker also on secondment from Bank of England.
The general administration of the bank was entrusted in the hands of a seven-member board of directors under the chairmanship of the governor.
The first Board was as follows:
Alfred Eggleston Chairman
Douglas F. Stone Deputy Governor
R. S. Blay Director
Dr. N. T. Clerk Director
C. E. Osei Director
R. C. Parkin Director
Albert Adomako Secretary
The Governor of the Bank and his Deputy were appointed by the Governor of the Gold Coast on the recommendation of the Prime Minister, in accordance with Section 10(1) of the 1957 Ordinance. The Governor and his Deputy were each appointed for a term of five years and were eligible for reappointment. Those two officials were answerable to the Board for their acts and decisions in the course of general administration of the affairs of the bank. The Board itself was also answerable to the Ministry of Finance for efficient management of the Bank. The other directors of the Board were also appointed by the Prime Minister with the approval of the Governor of the Gold Coast for a term of three years, subject to renewal.
The bank commenced business with six main departments namely:
The Governors’ Office
The Administration/Personnel Department
The Banking Department
The Issue Department
Accounts/Audit Department
Economics/Statistics Department
The Governors’ Office was headed by the Secretary to the Board while the other departments were headed by Managers who reported directly to the Deputy Governor or, in special cases to the Governor. The departments were run by the managers in accordance with policies and decisions arrived at by an in-house Management accordance with policies arrived at by an in-house Management Committee comprising the Governor, the Deputy Governor and three or four heads of department appointed by the Governor.
With that initial organisational arrangements, the Bank of Ghana assumed its central role in the banking system of Ghana, which then comprised the central bank, two expatriate commercial banks – the British Bank of West Africa (BBWA) (now Standard Chartered Bank) and Barclays Bank Limited (Dominion, Colonial and Overseas); and the new Ghana Commercial Bank (GCB).
There was also the Post Office Savings Bank (POSB), which was, in fact, not a bank by definition; it was only an institution set up by the government to mobilise public savings through the agency of the numerous post offices in the country, for investment in government paper.
Relations with the other banks in the system were set out under sections 39 – 42 of the 1957 Ordinance. Initially, the relation were not very strong. The Central Bank was to act as banker to other banks and co-operate with them to promote and maintain adequate and reasonable banking services for the public. It was also to ensure high standards of conduct and management in the banking system. The Bank was also given powers to require the banks to maintain a proportion of their assets in specified form and to submit monthly returns on their operation to the Central Bank. However, banking supervision or bank examination was not specifically highlighted in the ordinance in the Ordinance.[4]

Plot[edit]
The story is the journey of a modern young woman who has to find a way to her dreams and who unexpectedly finds a constant companion in the person she least expected it from — her traditional husband and his family.
The serial has followed Sandhya's (Deepika Singh) life since she was a young college-going girl to the time she was forced into marriage following her parents' death to her struggles to find acceptance in a traditional Rajasthani family, to motherhood and most significantly her journey to become an IPS officer as she had always desired and the many challenges of her chosen profession. Her constant supporter has been her husband Sooraj Rathi (Anas Rashid) who has stood by her even when it has threatened to alienate him from his family. He is the favourite child of his mother Santoshi Rathi (Neelu Vaghela) but it has not stopped him from standing up to his mother whenever he has felt she is in the wrong. Similarly Santosh or Bhabho, as she is known to all, has never minced words especially when it comes to her daughters-in-law. At the beginning of the series, Bhabho is Sandhya's biggest opponent but over the years has come to become her biggest supporter. Rajkumar had come back to take revenge from Sandhya. He plans a terrorist attack to harm Sooraj and Bhabho but finally Sandhya saves them but Bhabho gets shot and is rushed to the hospital but later recovered. Sandhya delivers twins but is forced to give one away to Ankita.
5 years later[edit]
Sandhya and Sooraj's son Ved is grown up. Sooraj tries to hide his real identity from Ved as he feels that he might not love him again. Later he decides to take the Kabaddi challenge. After the show focuses on Sandhya's new mission to track down a terrorist and therefore has to leave her family. She goes on a train but later a bomb hits it and everyone thinks Sandhya is dead.
3 months later[edit]
Bhabho has forgotten Sandhya and hates her just because of her job and is upset with her for leaving Sooraj. Sandhya is alive and is on a new mission to finish off a terrorist and stop him. Sooraj is to get married to Laalima. Hearing this, Sandhya breaks down but after her mission ends she rushes to the Rathi house. Sandhya and Sooraj finally reunite. Mohit starts to accuse Emily and misunderstands her relationship with Zakir. He later gets shot and dies after he tried to molest Laalima. Police suspects Laalima's brother but later Sooraj gets arrested. Finally Bhabho confessed saying she shot her son and gets arrested. Later she gets bailed by Sandhya.
The series has taken several leaps both in time and theme and at present focuses on the latest addition to the Rathi family — Aarzoo (Prachi Tehlan) wife of the family's foster son Chhotu a.k.a. Aryan (Kunal Khosla). Sandhya had doubts about Aarzoo being a terrorist but later she shot her and was sent to a mental hospital. Later she came to save Aarzoo and she succeeded. Then the show moved onto Sandhya's new mission and that was to save Ved from some disease. On the other hand, Om marries Emily on behalf of Maasa and Bhabho. Rathi family get to know that Sandhya is pregnant and she delivers a baby girl whom they name Kanak. Sandhya gets a proposal from the commissioner and decides to join the police again. There she meets IPS Arpita Khanna, who considers Sandhya as her rival. A new case arises. Parents come to the police station to request Sandhya to find their missing daughter, Mansi. Sandhya and Arpita trace Mansi and find out that she is trying to hide from her parents, by working in a Garage, disguised as a boy. After finding Mansi Sandhya hands her over to her parents. On the other hand, Meena meets Shilpi. Sandhya saves all the girls from the evil clutches of Shilpi. 4 terrorists come along and torture Sandhya and her family. Sandhya and Sooraj save their family and the other civilians who were taken hostage by the 4 terrorists but the terrorist's leader makes them eat pills which are bombs in order for them to save their daughter Kanak. After eating the pills the terrorist leader is arrested by Arpita, the police and the army. Sandhya and Sooraj are told that the pills cannot be removed from their bodies and that they have 30 minutes before they explode. Sooraj and Sandhya say their goodbye to their family and run away to a river. Sooraj and Sandhya express their love for one another and their family arrives but Sooraj and Sandhya explode minutes later. Sandhya and Sooraj meet after death when Sandhya's mangalsutra and Suraj's chain become entangled in water before the setting sun. The show ends on this note highlighting that even death cannot separate them.
