Surge (soft drink)

Surge (sometimes styled as SURGE) is a citrus flavored soft drink developed by the New Products team at Coca Cola Atlanta in 1996–97. Surge was first produced by The Coca-Cola Company to compete with Pepsi's Mountain Dew during the 1990s. Surge was advertised as having a more "hardcore" edge, much like Mountain Dew's advertising at this time, in an attempt to further take customers away from Pepsi. It was originally launched in Norway as Urge, and was so popular that it was later released in America as Surge. Lagging sales caused production to be ended in 2003 for most markets, and by 2014 Norway was the last country where either Urge or Surge were still sold. However, popular fan bases such as Facebook's "SURGE Movement" led Coca-Cola to re-release the soft drink on September 15, 2014 for the US market via Amazon.com "Prime" in 12-packs of 16 oz. cans. In February 2015, Coca-Cola initiated a test market for the beverage in stores primarily in the Southeastern United States, and concluded in May 2015. Some locations outside of the test region have also been found to sell Surge. Surge was re-released to stores in the Southeast, Northeast, and parts of the Midwest United States in September 2015.

Horn (anatomy)

A horn is a pointed projection on the head of various animals consisting of a covering of keratin and other proteins surrounding a core of live bone. In mammals, true horns are found mainly among the ruminant artiodactyls, in the families Antilocapridae (pronghorn) and Bovidae (cattle, goats, antelope etc.).

One pair of horns is usual; however, two or more pairs occur in a few wild species and domesticated breeds of sheep. Polycerate (multi-horned) sheep breeds include the Hebridean, Icelandic, Jacob, Manx Loaghtan, and the Navajo-Churro.

Horns usually have a curved or spiral shape, often with ridges or fluting. In many species only males have horns. Horns start to grow soon after birth, and continue to grow throughout the life of the animal (except in pronghorns, which shed the outer layer annually, but retain the bony core). Partial or deformed horns in livestock are called scurs. Similar growths on other parts of the body are not usually called horns, but spurs, claws or hoofs depending on the part of the body on which they occur.

Horn of Kankas

The Kankas noble family, otherwise known as Horn, is a noble family from Finland of medieval frälse.

Its first known member, Olof Mattsson, was documented between 1381 and 1415, having a seat in Halikko, near the present town of Salo. His seal featured the figure of a drinking horn. The family became one of the most prominent in Finland at the end of Middle Ages. In the 16th century, the use of the word signifying their horned logo became established as surname.

Its head, Sir Claes Christersson Horn (1518–66), was among the first to be created friherre (baron) in Sweden, which took place at the coronation of Eric XIV of Sweden in 1560. Friherre Claes got the title Baron of Åminne (fi. Joensuu).

Other branches

A genealogically junior branch descended from baron Claes' uncle, knight Henrik Klasson Horn (1512–95), who held his seat at Kankainen Manor in Masku which is nearer to Turku than Halikko.

Sir Henrik Horn (Marienborg) (1618–93) was created friherre of the barony of Marienborg in Livonia in 1651 by queen Christina of Sweden. His male line went extinct in 1728. He was a nephew of Gustav, Count of Björneborg (fi. Pori).

Horn (Schwarzbach)

The River Horn (French: La Horn; German: Hornbach) is a left tributary of Schwarzbach flowing through the region of Lorraine, in north-east France, and the state of Rhineland-Palatinate, in southern Germany. Its headwaters rise in the French town of Bitche, in the Moselle Department, following a north by north-eastern course, before forming a part of the border between France and Germany. As the Franco-German border takes a sharp turn to the west, the Horn continues into Germany. Here, it follows a roughly north-western course, ending in the German town of Zweibrücken, emptying into the Schwarzbach. Its length in France is 27.6 km.
