Kaz, Oliver, and Alan fall into it and encounter Megahertz, where he explains the chamber's purpose. Kaz, Oliver, and Megahertz are let out when Alan accidentally turns into a blue whale. Kaz and Oliver convince Megahertz to boost the signal to Oliver's phone so that they can contact some help. Before leaving, Megahertz warns Kaz, Oliver, and Alan not to tell anyone that he helped them or else he'll hunt them down. Megahertz later arrives when Skylar uses her powers to turn back time.

text: In "The Dirt on Kaz & Skylar", Megahertz is working as a janitor as part of his prison sentence. Megahertz offers to help Oliver deal with Mr. Terror if he can reduce his prison sentence.

His brothers, Blue Demon, White Demon, and Matt Demon, were imprisoned in a lower dimension by Tecton where Crimson Demon plotted to free them. He came to Logan High School to watch the events unfold that would open the portal and free his brothers. However, just as the portal was opening, Oliver figured out a way to manipulate Timeline's powers to freeze time, giving them a bit more time. Immune to this, Crimson Demon attacked. Thanks to Timeline predicting his attacks and Skylar's moves, they managed to fight back and imprison him. Skylar kicked him into a drum Kaz and Oliver were holding, and then the two threw the demon into the same portal, thus imprisoning him with his brothers.

His powers are magnetism and gravokinesis. Until discovering his true nature, Kaz thought Experion was the second coolest teen. When he and Skylar had a fight, he then not only despised Skylar, but also Kaz and Oliver. Experion is now an enemy to Kaz, Oliver, and Skylar after being taken away by Mighty Med's security team.

text: In "There's a Storm Coming", Kaz and Oliver visit Experion at Mighty Max in order to get the location of the Annihilator's lair. He tells them that he resides in a sewer lair four blocks from the abandoned slaughterhouse. He lends them his right eyeball, which regrows, in order to get through the retina scanners at the Annihilator's base. During this time, Experion is shown to be a cellmate of Megahertz. Experion uses the cell phone he took from Kaz to free himself and Megahertz from Mighty Max. During the fight at Mighty Med, the reactor goes supernova, disabling Experion's powers as he, Megahertz, Wallace, and Clyde are arrested by the Mighty Med security team.

text: Dr. Wrath[edit]

text: Dr. Wrath is a shape-shifting supervillain that feeds off negative energy. No one knew what Dr. Wrath really looked like due to them always wearing a cloak and being a shape-shifter. They arrived at Logan High School where they shape-shifted into Stefanie and impersonated her, spreading negative energy to strengthen them while building a machine that would make the whole world negative. Kaz and Skylar end up getting captured, but manage to break free, and Skylar confronts and fights Dr. Wrath, while Kaz alters the machine. However, Dr. Wrath proves too powerful for Skylar and the machine activates. However, due to Kaz's alterations, instead of creating negativity, it created positive elements, thus returning Dr. Wrath to his true form before exploding and being reduced to a pile of ashes. His ashes are then swept up by Agent Blaylock.

After that, he vowed to destroy any monument named after an inventor, regardless of how many lives were destroyed in the process. At some point, he decided to destroy the Franklin bridge as seen in "Fantasy League of Superheroes". As all the superheroes were caught up in Kaz's fantasy hero league, they were all out trying to stop the same disaster. As such, Kaz and Skylar were forced to try and stop him themselves. Unfortunately, Sonic Shriek manages to easily defeat Skylar and imprisons her and Kaz. Tecton arrives to stop him, but is interrupted when Captain Atomic also arrives. As both heroes were still too caught up in Kaz's fantasy league to think straight, they began fighting each other, allowing Sonic Shriek to capture them both. He then started the bomb's count down. Skylar manages to goad him into trying to destroy them. At the last minute, she dodges and the blast destroys the restraints, freeing her and Kaz. She manages to knock down Sonic Shriek and free Tecton and Captain Atomic. Captain Atomic then flies the bomb to a safe distance while Tecton easily defeats Sonic Shriek, before taking him away.

root

text: Buganda Agreement (1900)

text: The Buganda Agreement (alternatively the Uganda Agreement) of March 1900 formalised the relationship between the Kingdom of Buganda and the British Uganda Protectorate.[1] Buganda would henceforth be a province of the Protectorate, and would be transformed into a constitutional monarchy with the power of the Lukiko (advisory council) greatly enhanced and the role of the Kabaka (king) reduced.[1] The British also gained the right to veto future choices of Kabaka, and control of numerous other appointments.[2]

tag: p

text: The agreement was signed by Buganda's Katikiro Sir Apolo Kagwa, on the behalf of the Kabaka (Daudi Chwa) who was at that time an infant, and Sir Harry Johnston on the behalf of the British colonial government. The agreement solidified the power of the largely Protestant 'Bakungu' client-chiefs, led by Kagwa. London sent only a few officials to administer the country, relying primarily on the Bakungu chiefs. For decades they were preferred because of their political skills, their Christianity, their friendly relations with the British, There are their ability to collect taxes, and the proximity of Entebbe (the Uganda capital) was close to the Buganda capital. By the 1920s the British administrators were more confident, and have less need for military or administrative support.[3]

text: By fixing the northern boundary of Buganda as the River Kafu, the agreement formalised Henry Colvile's 1894 promise that Buganda would receive the territories in exchange for their support against the Bunyoro.[citation needed] Two of the 'lost counties' (Buyaga and Bugangaizi) were returned to the Bunyoro following the Ugandan lost counties referendum of 1964.[4]

text: The provisions concerning the roles of the Kabaka and Lukiiko were largely reversed by the Buganda Agreement of 1961.[2]

text: Season eight[edit]

text: Summary[edit]

text: Season 8 started May 13, 2012.  For season 8, the format changed, with the contestants divided into three five-member teams, each coached by a Food Network host, either Bobby Flay, Alton Brown, or Giada De Laurentiis.  Coaches worked with the teams as they prepared for and completed their tasks.  The winner's coach would also be the producer of the winner's show.

text: Each week, a winning team was selected, and one member of the teams that did not win was up for elimination in a new feature called Producers' Challenge. Each challenge was hosted by current Food Network personalities.

text: The final winner was decided by an audience vote cast on foodnetwork.com between July 15–17, 2012 and the winner was announced on July 22, 2012. The winner was Justin Warner, who hosted a one-hour special on The Food Network, but did not have a series produced. He has become a blogger on foodnetwork.com, makes appearances at Food Network events, and is an active Twitter presence.[16]

Governor of KarnatakaInaugural holder

text: The Chief Minister of Karnataka is the chief executive of the south Indian state of Karnataka. As per the Constitution of India, the governor is a state's de jure head, but de facto executive authority rests with the chief minister. Following elections to the Karnataka Legislative Assembly, the state's governor usually invites the party (or coalition) with a majority of seats to form the government. The governor appoints the chief minister, whose council of ministers are collectively responsible to the assembly. Given that he has the confidence of the assembly, the chief minister's term is for five years and is subject to no term limits.[1]

text: Since 1947, twenty-two people have been Chief Minister of Mysore (as the state was known before 1 November 1973) and Karnataka. A majority of them belonged to the Indian National Congress party, including inaugural office-holder K. Chengalaraya Reddy. The longest-serving chief minister, D. Devaraj Urs, held the office for over seven years in the 1970s. The Janata Party's Ramakrishna Hegde has the second-longest tenure, while the Congress's Veerendra Patil had the largest gap between two terms (over eighteen years). One chief minister, H. D. Deve Gowda, went on to become the eleventh Prime Minister of India, while another, B. D. Jatti, served as the country's fifth Vice President. There have been six instances of President's rule in Karnataka, most recently in 2007–08.

text: The incumbent chief minister is the Janata Dal (Secular)'s H. D. Kumaraswamy, who was sworn in on 23 May 2018.

text: After losing the toss, India were asked to bat first against a West Indies team that arguably boasted the world's best bowling attack. Only Mohinder Amarnath (26 from 80 balls) and Kris Srikkanth (38 from 57 balls) put up any significant resistance as Andy Roberts, Malcolm Marshall, Joel Garner and Michael Holding ripped through the Indian batsmen, ably supported by Gomes. Surprising resistance by the tail allowed India to compile 183 (all out, 54.4 overs). Only three sixes were hit in the Indian innings, one from Srikkanth, one from Sandeep Patil (27 from 29 balls), and one from Madan Lal (17 from 27 balls). However, the Indian bowling exploited the weather and pitch conditions perfectly to bowl out the best batting line-up of the era for 140 from 52 overs in return, winning by 43 runs and completing one of the most stunning upsets in cricket history, defeating the previously invincible West Indies. Amarnath and Madan Lal (3–31) each took three wickets, and one memorable moment was the sight of Captain Kapil Dev running a great distance (about 18–20 yards) to take a catch to dismiss Richards, the West Indies top scorer with 33 from 28 balls. Amarnath was the most economical bowler, conceding just 12 runs from his seven overs while taking 3 wickets, and was once again awarded the Man of the Match award for his all-round performance.[1] There was no "Man of the Series" award in 1983.
