Keturah was a concubine and wife of the Biblical patriarch Abraham. According to the Book of Genesis, Abraham married Keturah after the death of Sarah. Abraham and Keturah had six sons. One modern commentator on the Hebrew Bible has called Keturah "the most ignored significant person in the Torah"; the medieval Jewish commentator Rashi, some previous rabbinical commentators, related a traditional belief that Keturah was the same person as Hagar, although this idea cannot be found in the biblical text. The biblical traditions concerning Abraham and related characters are regarded as non-historical by scholars. Keturah is mentioned in two passages of the Hebrew Bible: in the Book of Genesis, in the First Book of Chronicles. Additionally, she is mentioned in Antiquities of the Jews by the 1st-century Romano-Jewish historian Josephus, in the Talmud, the Midrash, the Targum on the Torah, the Genesis Rabbah, various other writings of Jewish theologians and philosophers. Louis Feldman has said "Josephus records evidence of the non-prolific non-Jewish polymath Alexander Polyhistor, who, in turn, cites the historian Cleodemus Malchus, who states that two of the sons of Abraham by Keturah joined Heracles' campaign in Africa, that Heracles, without doubt the greatest Greek hero of them all, married the daughter of one of them."

Keturah is referred to in Genesis as "another wife" of Abraham. In First Chronicles, she is called Abraham's "concubine". There is disagreement amongst Jewish scholars as to whether Keturah was, or was not, the same person as Hagar —a handmaid of Abraham's wife Sarah, Abraham's concubine —who, together with her son Ishmael, was sent away by Abraham at the insistence of Sarah; the discussion of Genesis 25:1–6 in the Genesis Rabbah includes statements by Rabbi Judah the Prince arguing that Hagar returned to Abraham and was renamed Keturah. Her new name is said to refer to the pleasant aroma of incense—symbolic of her having turned from misdeeds committed during her time away from Abraham. Since Keturah is referred to in First Chronicles as Abraham's concubine, some scholars concluded that this was why Keturah was identified with Hagar in the Midrash and the Palestinian Targumim. An alternative interpretation of the name Keturah is cited in the Genesis Rabbah to suggest that Hagar did not have sexual relations with anyone else from the time she left Abraham until her return.

The theory that Keturah was Hagar was supported by the 11th-century scholar Rashi. Biblical scholar Richard Elliott Friedman dismisses the identification of Keturah with Hagar as "an old rabbinic idea" for which "there is no basis... in the text", notes that the idea was rejected by traditional commentators such as Ibn Ezra and Rashbam. The Book of Jubilees supports the conclusion that Keturah and Hagar were two different people, by stating that Abraham waited until after Hagar's death before marrying Keturah. Keturah bore Abraham six sons: Zimran, Medan, Midian and Shuah. Genesis and First Chronicles list seven of her grandsons. Keturah's sons were said to have represented the Arab tribes who lived east of Israel. According to the African writer Olaudah Equiano, the 18th-century English theologian John Gill believed the African people were descended from Abraham and Keturah. According to the Bahá'í author John Able, Bahá'ís consider their founder, Bahá'u'lláh, to have been "descended doubly, from both Abraham and Sarah, separately from Abraham and Keturah."

The 1979 Seville City Council election the 1979 Seville municipal election, was held on Tuesday, 3 April 1979, to elect the 1st City Council of the municipality of Seville. All 31 seats in the City Council were up for election; the election was held with local elections all throughout Spain. The City Council of Seville was the top-tier administrative and governing body of the municipality of Seville, composed of the mayor, the government council and the elected plenary assembly. Voting for the local assembly was on the basis of universal suffrage, which comprised all nationals over eighteen, registered in the municipality of Seville and in full enjoyment of their civil and political rights. Local councillors were elected using the D'Hondt method and a closed list proportional representation, with a threshold of 5 percent of valid votes—which included blank ballots—being applied. Parties not reaching the threshold were not taken into consideration for seat distribution. Councillors were allocated to municipal councils based on the following scale: The mayor was indirectly elected by the plenary assembly.

A legal clause required that mayoral candidates earned the vote of an absolute majority of councillors, or else the candidate of the most-voted party in the assembly was to be automatically appointed to the post. In case of a tie, the eldest would be elected; the electoral law provided that parties, federations and groupings of electors were allowed to present lists of candidates. However, groupings of electors were required to secure the signature of at least 0.1 percent of the electors registered in the municipality for which they sought election—needing to secure, in any case, the signature of 500 electors—. Electors were barred from signing for more than one list of candidates. Concurrently and federations intending to enter in coalition to take part jointly at an election were required to inform the relevant Electoral Commission within ten days of the election being called

Golden Valley County is a county in the U. S. state of North Dakota. As of the 2010 United States Census, the population was 1,680, making it the fourth-least populous county in North Dakota; the county seat is Beach. The county should not be confused with the city of Golden Valley, located in Mercer County. In the general election held November 8, 1910, the voters of Billings County chose to separate the western portion of Billings and form a new county; this result was challenged in court. Golden Valley was called'Rattlesnake Flats' by early settlers, due to the large number of the snakes found in the area; the region was dubbed Golden Valley in 1902 after a group of land surveyors noticed that the sunlight gave the surrounding grasses a distinct golden color. The vote in 1910 to create Golden Valley County was 837 for and 756 against. Shortly after the vote was certified, suit was filed against the Billings County Commission to overturn the result; the plaintiffs alleged that the certification of election was improper, that certain pre-marked "unofficial" ballots printed by supporters of the new county were cast in place of official ballots, should be voided.

The trial court ruled in favor of the plaintiffs. The county appealed to the North Dakota Supreme Court, which upheld the county's certification of the election; the court ruled the pre-marked ballots were invalid, but that the number of invalid votes was not sufficient to overturn the election results. The court's decision upholding the new county was made on September 19, 1912, Golden Valley was formally organized on November 13, 1912.

Gold River is a village municipality located close to the geographic centre of Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada. In terms of the Island's human geography it is considered to be part of the "North Island" though it technically is on the Island's west coast. Taking advantage of its deep water and abundant forests, Gold River developed in 1967 as a prototypical logging and pulp and paper industry community. Gold River sprang into prosperity and established excellent community facilities; when shifting world markets brought the mill closure in 1998, many of Gold River's inhabitants were forced to relocate. Since the village has attempted to capitalize on its idealistic setting among picturesque mountains, rivers and forests to develop tourism and sport fishing as its main economic supports. Gold River serves as a base for such famous activities as the Nootka Island trek, hiking the Elk Lake trail and mountain climbing Golden Hinde, Crest Creek climbing crags, MV Uchuck III, the Great Walk.

Gold River serves as a historic point, being the closest village to the famous Yuquot, or "Friendly Cove", where British explorer Captain James Cook first set ashore. There Cook met the Mowachaht native band's Chief Maquinna. In 2001, a two-year-old male orca named Luna, was seen in Nootka Sound alone as far inland as the marina at Gold River. Presumed to be an orphan separated from his pod, Luna became a local and international celebrity by his playful and curious behavior with lumber tugboats and recreational watercraft on Nootka Sound, with people, including young children, on the Gold River dock; the popularity of Luna made Gold River an international attraction from early 2002 through March 2006 when Luna was killed in an accidental collision with a tugboat propeller. Gold River has a Marine west coast climate. With warm dry summers and mild rainy winters, during the winter constant Low Pressure Systems moving off of the Pacific Ocean causes winter to be the wettest season. Most precipitation falls as rain year round but snow is not uncommon in the winter months averaging 118 cm but does not stay long.

Summers are warm with an average summer temperate of 17.6 °C in July. The summer months are the driest of the year with only 55.4 mm of rain in July compared to 481.9 mm in November. The average rain fall all year is 2,846.7 mm making the west coast of Vancouver Island the wettest place in Canada. The record high recorded for the village was 41.5 °C recorded on July 28, 2009. The record low was −19 °C recorded on January 28, 1980. Village of Gold River official website "Gold River". BC Geographical Names. Highway to Gold River BC
