Mann Lake
Mann Lake is the largest of the shallow playa lakes in the northern part of the Alvord Valley in Harney County in the U.S. state of Oregon. The lake is a remnant of a larger Pleistocene lake that covered much of the valley, east of Steens Mountain. Fields–Denio Road runs along the east side of the lake. Inflow to Mann Lake comes from small, intermittent streams, mainly from Steens Mountain. The lake, which has no outlet, but loses water by evaporation, is hypereutrophic. An influx of cattle waste from nearby rangelands adds to the lake's natural eutrophic state. Large concentrations of'' Cladophora'' algae are common. The Bureau of Land Management operates the Mann Lake Recreation Site, about southeast of Burns by highway and unpaved road. The site has vault restrooms and boat ramps, but no other amenities. Recreation at or near the site includes fishing, camping, hiking, wildlife viewing, and amateur geology. Mann Lake, stocked with Lahontan cutthroat trout, has been ...

Mann Act
The White-Slave Traffic Act, also called the Mann Act, is a United States federal law, passed June 25, 1910 (ch. 395, ; ''codified as amended at'' ). It is named after Congressman James Robert Mann of Illinois. In its original form the act made it a felony to engage in interstate or foreign commerce transport of "any woman or girl for the purpose of prostitution or debauchery, or for any other immoral purpose". Its primary stated intent was to address prostitution, immorality, and human trafficking, particularly where trafficking was for the purposes of prostitution. It was one of several acts of protective legislation aimed at moral reform during the Progressive Era. In practice, its ambiguous language about "immorality" resulted in it being used to criminalize even consensual sexual behavior between adults. It was amended by Congress in 1978 and again in 1986 to limit its application to transport for the purpose of prostitution or other illegal sexual acts. Promotion In th ...

The name is Turkic (Ottoman Turkish ; Chagatai ),. but was also sometimes used for the equivalent unit in Persia ( ).. The equivalent unit in British India was anglicized as the maund (Bengali: and Hindustani: ). The value of the batman (or maund) varied considerably from place to place. Origins The ''man'' as a unit of weight is thought to be of at least Chaldean origin, with Sir Henry Yule attributing Akkadian origins to the word..

Mann (paramilitary Rank)
''Mann'' ( en, "man" or "male"), was a paramilitary rank used by several Nazi Party paramilitary organizations between 1925 and 1945. The rank is most often associated with the ''Schutzstaffel'' (''SS-Mann''), but also was a rank of the SA, where ''Mann'' (''SA-Mann'') was the lowest enlisted rank and was the equivalent of a private. In 1938, with the rise of the '' SS-Verfügungstruppe'' (later renamed the Waffen-SS), the SS changed the rank of ''Mann'' to '' Schütze'', although it still retained the original SS rank of ''Mann'' for the '' Allgemeine-SS'' (general SS). The rank of ''Mann'' was junior to SS-'' Sturmmann''. In most Nazi Party organizations, the rank of ''Mann'' held no distinctive insignia. Some groups, however, granted a minor form of rank insignia such as a blank collar patch or simple shoulder board to denote the rank of ''Mann''. (see right: SS rank insignia pattern from 1933) Even lower ranks, e.g. ''Bewerber, Jungmann, Anwärter, Vollanwärter'', wer ...
