Mendi is a town in western Ethiopia. Located in the Mirab Welega Zone of the Oromia Region, this town has a latitude and longitude of 9°48′N 35°6′E / 9.800°N 35.100°E / 9.800; 35.100Coordinates: 9°48′N 35°6′E / 9.800°N 35.100°E / 9.800; 35.100 and an elevation of 1538 meters above sea level. It is the administrative center of Mana Sibu woreda.
Mendi hosts an airport (ICAO HAMN, IATA NDM), with an unpaved runway 1250 meters in length. Upgrading and rehabilitating the 131 kilometers of the all-weather gravel road connecting Mendi with Nejo was completed in January 2009, while the road connecting Mendi to Asosa was still being improved.
Dejazmach Gebre Egziabher constructed a church in Mendi in 1893. However, when the Dejazmach regained his rights to levy taxes over his father's former kingdom in 1907, the central government excepted the "gate" of Mendi, which was retained to the customs office in Nekemte. "This sealed the right of the centre to fiscal control over Nekemte, a right that Addis Abeba was never to abandon in the years to come."
Jale was a alternative rock band from Halifax, Nova Scotia, on the east coast of Canada. Contemporaries of Sloan and The Super Friendz, they were formed in 1992 and disbanded in 1996. Although they only released three records in all (the albums Dreamcake and So Wound and the EP "Closed"), Jale is considered one of the more influential bands to come out of the mid-1990s Halifax scene.
Jale was formed by four art school students in 1992: guitarist Jennifer Pierce, who had earlier sung backup on the album Smeared by Sloan; drummer Alyson MacLeod; bassist Laura Stein; and guitarist Eve Hartling. The band's name was formed from the first letters of the members' first names. Local legend had it that the band formed after all four members attended a concert by Washington, D.C.-based band Velocity Girl; whether that was true or not, Jale's early recordings resembled that band's work.
Chris Murphy of Sloan introduced Pierce and MacLeod, and later lent equipment to the fledgling band and booked them for opening slots at Sloan concerts. Early singles released on Halifax independent record labels drew the attention of American label Sub Pop Records, and Jale became the second Canadian band (after Eric's Trip) to be signed to the Seattle label.
