title: Archaeological Park of Segóbriga

text:
Segóbriga is a former Roman city near Saelices, in the province of Cuenca in Spain.  It is possibly one of the most important archaeological sites of the Spanish Meseta.

The name Segóbriga derives from two words: "Sego" meaning victory and "briga" meaning city fortress. The translation would be "City of the Victory" or "Victorious City".

The site includes an amphitheatre, theatre, the city walls and gates, two thermal buildings or Roman baths, and the Forum. There is also a necropolis, and the circus (Roman race track) is being excavated - its outline can be seen from the top of the hill.

Amphitheatre

The amphitheatre was built in front of the theatre with both flanking the gates of the city.  The shape is an irregular elliptical form; being 75 metres long it is the biggest monument of Segóbriga with a capacity for 5,500 spectators. Two gates lead into the amphitheatre's arena.  A covered corridor links these gates with the rooms where the wild animals were kept.

Theatre
Construction of the theatre began under the emperor Tiberius and was completed during the Flavian dynasty, circa AD 79.

title: Nicholas de Farndone

text:
Nicholas de Farndone (sometimes written as Farindone or Farrington) (died 1334) was a 14th-century English goldsmith and politician who served four non-consecutive terms as Mayor of London.

He was born Nicholas le Fevre, son of Ralph le Fevre, but assumed the surname of Farndone after marrying Isabella, daughter and heiress of William de Farndone (died 1293-94), a London goldsmith and alderman.

Like William, Nicholas was a goldsmith. In 1293 he succeeded his father-in-law as alderman of the ward of Farringdon Within, and was elected mayor in 1308, 1313, 1320, and 1323. During his second term, on behalf of King Edward II, Nicholas issued a ban of the game of football, ancestor to the modern games of soccer and rugby, ostensibly due to the noise and disturbance ("great evils") caused by the game. He was elected Member of Parliament for the City of London, as one of the two aldermanic representatives, in 1312, 1313, 1320, and 1321.

Nicholas died in 1334, without male issue, and devised his aldermanry to Sir John de Pulteney, then mayor of London.

Roysia, the daughter of Nicholas and Isabella, made two marriages. The first was to Robert Convers, by whom she had issue Nicholas (de Farndon, died 1361) and Katherine. The second was to David de Cotesbrok by whom she had Thomas (de Farndon).

A chantry was established in 1361 at St Peter, Westcheap for Nicholas de Farndon and his daughter Roysia, by the will of his grandson Nicholas.

title: Morgan Bell

text:
Morgan Leigh Bell (born 1981) is an Australian writer of short stories, who grew up in Newcastle, New South Wales, and currently resides in Port Stephens. Bell is the author of short story collection Sniggerless Boundulations (2014), and Laissez Faire (2017). She is a story contributor to local anthologies and community projects, and in 2014 was short-listed for the Hunter Writers Centre Travel Writing Prize for her anti-travel story Don't Pay the Ferryman. In 2016 Bell edited Sproutlings: A Compendium of Little Fictions, a speculative fiction anthology, for Invisible Elephant Press. In 2017 her Short Story Workshop taught creative writing at Tomaree Community Centre and she taught a Writing For Pleasure course at Port Stephens U3A.

Midnight Daisy

Bell is a member of Hunter Writers Centre in Newcastle, New South Wales, speaking at the 2014 Newcastle Writers Festival on a panel celebrating the contributions of women to the enrichment of everyday life. Bell read her short story "Midnight Daisy" at the YWCA Newcastle She: True Stories session at the festival. Bell also recorded an audio version of Midnight Daisy for Newcastle's ABC1223 radio station and received a high commendation and prize at the exhibition launch at Lovett Gallery, Newcastle Regional Library.

Bell revealed in an interview that the eponymous Daisy from Midnight Daisy was a 93-year-old British ex-pat who was a close family friend. Bell interviewed Daisy, a process she describes as her proudest achievement, about a month before Daisy undertook a final trip to her birthplace in rural northern England. Daisy died on her UK holiday in October 2013 and was laid to rest at her mother grave. The story contrasts the harsh living conditions of Daisy's mother in Shropshire in the 1920s and 1930s with the worldly experiences of Daisy herself, including World War II, a mixed-race marriage, and relocating to Australia.

Sniggerless Boundulations

Bell published her debut collection of short stories, entitled Sniggerless Boundulations, on 21 January 2014. The collection is experimental in length, form and scope, mostly generated from flash fiction prompts and short story competitions. The collection contains fifteen stories but runs only 68 pages long, as many are vignettes and micro-fictions. The promotional Twitter tagline was Sniggerless Boundulations: the horrors of life in fifteen slices.

The collection is largely about domestic tensions, with a few speculative fiction pieces. The overarching themes are fear, anxiety, time, aging, and jealousy.

Stories

The collection contains the following stories:

Title meaning

About the title, Bell has said it is a nonsense phrase that came to her in a dream but "Linguistically it translates to a calculated series of steps forward. I like the riddle quality and the weightlessness of the phrase." and "Semantically the intention is to evoke a progression of steps away from creeping paranoia."

Concept album analogy

Bell has made the following statements about the flash fiction collection's likeness to the concept albums of her teen years in the 1990s:

 "Read some other single-author collections to see how the stories are arranged. I find a short story collection to be a bit like the old “mixed tape” or the modern iPod playlist, there is an art in the order. If your stories have an evolving theme they can be like a concept album."
 "I like Strings & Ribbons for its poetry and reprieve. Its placement in the collection is like a lighter musical interlude on a heavy rock album."
 "I write with so much tension, sometimes it is difficult to sustain over a long time, I often need to construct deliberate ebbs and flows to add some reprieve to all the suspense."

Influences

Bell learnt about the free indirect speech method of writing from James Wood's How Fiction Works.

Australian short-story collections that have inspired her are Margo Lanagan's Black Juice, Cate Kennedy's Dark Roots, of which she has said "For perfecting the craft of the short form Australian author Cate Kennedy does it best in her collection Dark Roots, every story sticks with you and haunts you, she is the master," Tim Winton's The Turning (stories), and Angela Meyer's Captives. She has said that the minimalism and dirty realism of short-stories by Tobias Wolff and Raymond Carver have struck a chord with her.

Bell has repeatedly cited Angela Carter as an influence. She has said the appeal of Angela Carter's works is the juxtaposition of oddities, and has singled out The Passion of New Eve as a favourite saying "it’s a real trip and a gender bender. You will question everything you know about relations between men and women, and the imagery will stay with you forever."

In interviews Bell has cited the following authors as influences: Ursula K. Le Guin, Aldous Huxley, Virginia Woolf, Oscar Wilde, Jane Austen, DBC Pierre, James Frey, Deborah Levy, Lauren Beukes, Julienne van Loon, Jim Crace; and the following books as influences: Stephen King’s The Eyes of the Dragon, Amy Tan’s The Joy Luck Club (novel), Virginia Woolf’s Mrs Dalloway, Dathan Auerbach’s Penpal.

Her recent reading has included Sharp Objects and Gone Girl (novel) by Gillian Flynn, and The Good House by Ann Leary, which she called an "extraordinary debut novel" and the "perfect delicate balance of intrigue and poetic justice". Bell has said she likes "suspense, some domestic drama, and strong deeply flawed characters".

Bell has said a good last line or paragraph is her favourite part of a story. Citing the last lines of Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World as a favourite: "Just under the crown of the arch dangled a pair of feet. Slowly, very slowly, like two unhurried compass needles, the feet turned towards the right; north, north-east, east, south-east, south, south-south-west; then paused, and, after a few seconds, turned as unhurriedly back towards the left. South-south-west, south, south-east, east...."

Audiobook

In an interview published 18 February 2015 Bell announced an audiobook version of Sniggerless Boundulations would be available on Audible in about a month. She said "I have been working with a voice artist Jon Severity to get my book into audio format, he has been doing a fabulous job". The audiobook for Sniggerless Boundulations went live on Audible 5 March 2015. It is 58 minutes long (unabridged) and is in the category of Fiction > Short Stories & Anthologies. It is narrated by Jon Severity and the audio sample is 2:16 minutes from the story Garsdale.

Laissez Faire

Bell published her second short story collection on 8 September 2017. Bell announced it was three years in the making. The collection contains fifteen stories plus a "bonus track" (poem) and runs only 48 pages long. Feminist writer Ruby Hamad posted an except from the story The Permanence of Ceramics pertaining to May–December marriage, referring to it as "micro-fiction", "ultra short stories", and remarking "It's amazing what creative minds can do with so little words." The promotional tagline is Laissez Faire: Awkward. Weird. Excruciating.

Stories

The collection contains the following stories:

The anthology was mentioned as a prime example of successful Australian speculative fiction crowdfunding collections on Tor.com's introduction post to their new Australian-focussed Aurora Australis - Series blog. Blogger Alexandra Pierce said "Australian press has recently gone in for crowdfunding: like Twelfth Planet Press’ Kaleidoscope anthology, Fablecroft's Cranky Ladies of History, and Novascapes (stories from authors of the Hunter region)."

Bell received an acknowledgement from the editor in the paperback edition regarding promoting the crowdfunding campaign on Twitter and other social media. It stated "I want to thank Morgan Bell for her efforts in creating a last minute social media storm that helped the Pozible campaign reach its goal."

The anthologies call lists Jack & The Beanstalk, The Day of the Triffids, Little Shop of Horrors, and Alice in Wonderland as influences, giving the following flash prompts: "Killer weeds, botanical atrocities, enchanted forests-woods, strangling vines, poison fruits-berries-darts, the tree of life-knowledge, carnivorous flora, cabbage patch kids, wise talking-walking trees, magical beans, primordial slime"

The anthology contains the following stories:

Personal life

Bell was born in Melbourne Australia, the eldest of two daughters to Glenys Joy and Stephen Paul Bell. Her mother is from New Zealand, and her father is from England. Bell lives in Sydney Australia, having spent most of her adult life in either Sydney and Newcastle. She attended high school in Newcastle. Bell has said she adopts the families of many of her close friends, and has an adopted niece Piper.

Bell has been outspoken about her experiences with anxiety and depression, stating that the intention of many of her stories is to replicate the "sense of that horrifying panic or despair" of mental illness. Bell has stated that her story Garsdale is an allegory for struggling with depression. In interviews Bell has characterised herself as neurotic, paranoid, and self-doubting stating that she is prone to exhausting herself with over-thinking. She has a fear of amusement park rides, a fear of heights, and a fear of pregnancy.

By occupation Bell manages road traffic, working as a traffic engineer and technical writer for local government. Bell has described herself as an idealist (from watching too much Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Voyager as a kid), a gossip and a people-watcher. She is also open about her asexuality, being interviewed by the Hack program on Triple J radio on 19 July 2011, and her atheism, and is described as self-professed feminist and nerd.

Bell's hobbies include mosaic, digital art, pub trivia, drag queens, and goldfish. She drinks Twinings Assam Bold tea and writes in Moleskine notebooks. Bell has two female cats (twins) named Romilly and Sansa (the latter named after Sansa Stark from Game of Thrones).

title: Minit Mart

text:
Minit Mart LLC is a chain of convenience stores operating in South central and Western Kentucky, Northern middle Tennessee, Eastern Wisconsin, Kansas City, Northeast Illinois, and Northeast Ohio. Its corporate offices are located in Cincinnati, OH, and the chain consists of 231 locations scattered around the United States.

History

The early days
In 1967, Fred Higgins, and his father, Ralph, the latter of whom previously operated a now-out-of-business Stuckey's location just outside of Smiths Grove, Kentucky and had owned locations in four other states, founded a new convenience store, known by the name of Minit Mart. After having gained experience from working for his father, by the time Fred graduated from law school at the University of Kentucky in the spring of 1969, he expanded the operation to a chain of six locations in the metro Lexington area.

Fred Higgins served in the U.S. Army in the time between 1969 and 1972. When he returned in 1972, Minit Mart Foods became incorporated with 16 locations. After that time, Fred began acquiring single convenience stores and select sites on which to build new locations across Kentucky. The chain's original headquarters were located in Bowling Green, Kentucky.

During the 1970s, Minit Mart became one of the first convenience store chains to add gas pumps to their locations. an innovation that has changed the way Americans buy gasoline for their transportation vehicles. Marathon brand gasoline has been part of Minit Mart's offered services since then. Minit Mart has been at the forefront of adding delis and game machines during the same decade. Minit Mart started offering videotaped movie rentals when the VHS format gained popularity in the very late 1970s and early 1980s after it beat out the Betamax videocassette format. DVD movie rentals began to be utilized by Minit Mart around the dawn of the then-new millennium around the year 2000.

Ralph Higgins, the co-founder, played an active role in the management of Minit Mart Foods Inc until his 1987 death.

Expansion into Tennessee
Minit Mart began to expand in Tennessee in 1988 after acquiring 19 Bread Box convenience stores. By 1991, Minit Mart had 107 stores in Kentucky and Tennessee. Many locations included Godfather's Pizza and O'Deli's, the latter of which was Minit Mart's in-house sub sandwich shop for much of the chain's existence in Kentucky. Other select locations also previously served Baskin-Robbins Ice Cream, and Taco Bell Express, thereby grossing $250 million each year, and employing exactly 1,200 people.

Operation changes
In 1998, Fred lost his 25-year-long-time wife to a battle of cancer she was fighting since the diagnosis in 1978. After the loss of his wife, he and the management team thought that it was time that the convenience store chain is in for a change. In 2001, Minit Mart Foods leased its operations to Clark Retail, retaining ownership of the assets. In addition to Clark's original 600 stores, that company also acquired several other chains in the Midwestern United States, mainly in Indiana and Illinois, growing to approximately 1,200 stores. Competition, however, was intense during that time, and Clark eventually ended up in bankruptcy. After filing for bankruptcy, Clark returned 37 stores to Minit Mart Foods Inc.

Fred's Minit Mart LLC had taken over the operation in August 2003. A management team was formed, and 34 locations remained in operation.

2000s and 2010s
During the first two decades of the 21st century, Minit Mart operates 34 locations. Most of them are in Kentucky, but there are two locations operating in Clarksville, Montgomery County, Tennessee, and one in the Cookeville, Tennessee area. All locations are combinations of convenience and grocery shopping, and for many years, feature Marathon Gasoline. Godfather's Pizza and O'Deli's sub shops continued to be offered in most locations. In addition to those two, most Minit Mart locations also offer World Blends fresh coffee (formerly CuppaJoe), and Minit Mix.

In 2007, Minit Mart really had the business boost of the store's life when customers took advantage of Godfather's Pizza Large 1-topping pizza that went for $5.00 that summer (later $5.99 in late 2007, and then $7.99 between Spring 2008 and Summer 2010). Regular prices returned in 2009.

In 2008, Minit Mart introduced Minit Mix, a fountain drink that allows customers to create a soft drink mixed with certain flavors, including vanilla, cherry, and several others. It's a similar service to Coca-Cola's Freestyle machines that were introduced in certain fast food chains several years later.

Beginning in 2012, all Minit Mart locations added ATM kiosks without service charges. The following year, Minit Mart was sold to Travel Centers of America for $67 million.

In the early 2010s, new buildings were built to house the Minit Mart locations in Brownsville and Glasgow. just a couple hundred feet from their respective original locations. The old buildings were destroyed a few weeks after the completion and official opening of the new present building due to old age. The destruction of the old buildings made way for a larger parking lot, a few more entrances, and more fuel pumps. Several Minit Mart locations were expanded over time through at least 2014.

In 2015, four years before his death, Fred Higgins sold the Minit Mart convenience store chain to TravelCenters of America for $67 million. In January 2015, Minit Mart purchased additional stores and rebranded them, including a few in the Jackson Purchase region of western Kentucky, including one in Paducah, and one in Centerville, Indiana, the latter of which was the chain's first Indiana location.

In late March 2016 TCA closed on the purchase of Quality State Oil's "QMart Marketplace" 17-store chain of convenience stores based in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, which were immediately converted into Minit Mart locations. The acquisition was done mainly to acquire the technology and patents for QSO's convenience store industry award-winning RFID keychain card-based loyalty program.

In 2018, TCA sold the Minit Mart chain to EG America, a unit of the United Kingdom-based EG Group. By then, the Minit Mart brand was expanded to a total of 225 locations Kentucky, Tennessee and the lower midwest.

Pizza sales
According to Minit Mart's Facebook post on June 17, 2015, two Godfather's Pizza locations within the Minit Mart chain has been listed as the first and second place in terms of pizza sales. The location in Brownsville (Edmonson County) had the highest sales of any non-traditional location in the entire Godfather's Pizza chain nationwide, with one of Minit Mart's Bowling Green-area locations taking second place.

2020s
In August 2023, it was announced that  approximately 63 Minit Mart and Certified Oil locations in Kentucky and Tennessee, including most of the chain's historic locations and all nine Bowling Green-area Minit Mart locations, would be acquired by the Iowa-based Casey's Retail Company, which previously opened a few locations in western and northern Kentucky. As a result of this acquisition, only two of Minit Mart's historical legacy locations (in Auburn and Cadiz) remain unchanged as of October 2023.

Competition in the region
Minit Mart's main competitors in southern Kentucky included Jr. Food Stores and Crossroads IGA locations. Both of those chains are owned by Houchens Industries, which also owns their flagship supermarket chain, Houchens Markets, and several IGA Foodliner stores in south central Kentucky. Minit Mart's other competitors included several locally owned convenience stores around southern Kentucky, some of which offer pizza and/or fried chicken, as well as some Speedway locations. Phillips 66-branded stores under the name "Traveler's Food Plaza" in areas around Glasgow, Edmonton, and Tompkinsville, Kentucky also competed with Minit Mart for quite some time. Gas stations offering rival branded gasoline also often competed with Minit Mart for consumer allegiances. In the eastern Wisconsin market, Minit Mart's main competitor is Kwik Trip.

title: William Stratton Prince

text:
Captain William Stratton Prince (18 April 1824 – 15 November 1881) was a British Army officer, Chief Constable of Toronto (1859–1873) and the first warden of the Toronto Central Prison (1873-1881). As chief, Prince oversaw the militarization of the Toronto police.

Prince was born in  Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, the son of Colonel John Prince, and his wife, Mary Ann Millington. His father was an English barrister who emigrated to Canada in 1833 and became a member of the legislative assembly, a colonel in the militia, businessman and ultimately a judge.

William Prince enlisted in the British Army in 1837 and rose to the rank of Captain. He fought in the Crimean War in 1854, returned to Canada in 1856 and was appointed Chief Constable of the Toronto Police Department in 1859.

Prince's predecessor, Samuel Sherwood, was fired along with the entire police force as the result of lack of discipline, corruption and rioting. Half of the police force was re-hired, most of them younger recruits.

Under Prince, the police were organized under military discipline to the extent that unmarried constables were required to be housed in special barracks and needed approval to marry. In 1872, Prince introduced a timed beat system in which officers were to follow minute by minute schedules when walking their beat. The police force of 60 threatened to go on strike and were fired as a result. When officers asked for their jobs back, 18 were refused. Police were required to participate in drills three times a week but were also required to be moderate in their use of force in contrast to abuses that had occurred previously.

Prince resigned as chief constable in 1873 in order to become the first warden of the new Toronto Central Prison at King and Strachan Streets. Imposing military discipline, the prison became known for its brutality with stories of prisoners being beaten to death and buried on the prison grounds. In 1880, Prince ordered that an American prisoner be flogged nearly to death. The American embassy in Ottawa complained and the Attorney-General of Ontario ordered, in 1881, that the brutality stop and that flogging not occur without his permission. Prince resigned the same month and took a position as registrar of Wellington County.

He died in 1882 of apoplexy caused by alcoholism

text:
Jacob Hen-Tov (born 24 August 1932) is an academician specializing in the history and politics of Russia and the Middle East and the legal system of the former Soviet Union.  He retired in 2003 from his position as Professor of Eurasian Studies at the George C. Marshall European Center for Security Studies in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany.

Education

Career
Professor Hen-Tov spent his early employment years as a teacher in the Israeli educational system and subsequently, after training as a journalist, became a correspondent in criminal and legal affairs and later a parliamentary correspondent for the Israeli daily newspaper Herut.  He was also on the staff of the Literary Supplement of both Herut and Haboker (former Israeli daily newspapers).  Upon the completion of his legal studies in Tel-Aviv, he did his internship as a lawyer in the law firm of Dr. Samuel Fischelev (who later served as Israel's Ambassador to the Philippines).

In 1958, Professor Hen-Tov moved to the United States.  After receiving his graduate degrees at Harvard and Brandeis, he was appointed assistant professor of Russian studies at the College of the Holy Cross and then Professor of History and Political Science at Worcester State University.  From 1971-73, he was a visiting lecturer at the University of Haifa and the Israeli Technion. During 1969-72 and 1974–75, he was also an Associate of the Harvard Russian Research Center.

In 1975, Professor Hen-Tov assumed the position of Professor History and Government at the U.S. Army Russian Institute (Department of Defense) in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany.  In 1993, when the Institute expanded into the George C. Marshall European Center for Security Studies, he was appointed as Professor of Eurasian Studies until his retirement in 2003.

In addition to his position at the U.S. Russian Institute (and later the George C. Marshall Center), Professor Hen-Tov was a lecturer of History and Government at the University of Maryland's European Extension Program (1976–96), an Adjunct Associate Professor of Soviet Government at Georgetown University (1983–84), and an Adjunct Professor of International Relations at the NATO Military Academy-SHAPE, in Oberammergau, Germany (1981–88).

Professor Hen-Tov also served for many years as a coordinator and moderator for academic conferences in collaboration with centers of strategic studies and military academies in the former Soviet Republics, in particular, in the Caucasus and Central Asia.  As well, as part of his NATO affiliation, he was invited as a speaker to numerous military conferences, among them SACLANT in Norfolk, Virginia, (1984), Sea-Link-NATO, Supreme Allied Commander Atlantic, Annapolis, Maryland (1984) and the U.S. Sixth Fleet-Intelligence Unit, Gaeta, Italy (1985).

title: Concord and Montreal Railroad

text:
The Concord and Montreal Railroad was a railroad incorporated in 1889 out of a merger between the Boston, Concord and Montreal Railroad and the Concord Railroad.

Ownership
The Boston, Concord and Montreal had previously become the Northern Division of the Boston and Lowell Railroad, following an 1884 leasing agreement. The Boston and Lowell was then leased by the Boston and Maine Railroad in 1887, bringing the BC&M under the Boston and Maine's control. The merger with the Concord Railroad in 1889 led to the Concord and Montreal being under its own, independent control upon its incorporation. However, the railroad was ultimately purchased by the Boston and Maine in 1895.

title: Shared-use path

text:
A shared-use path, mixed-use path or multi-use pathway is a path which is "designed to accommodate the movement of pedestrians and cyclists". Examples of shared-use paths include sidewalks designated as shared-use, bridleways and rail trails. A shared-use path typically has a surface that is asphalt, concrete or firmly packed crushed aggregate. Shared-use paths differ from cycle tracks and cycle paths in that shared-use paths are designed to include pedestrians even if the primary anticipated users are cyclists.

The path may also permit other users such as inline skating. Contrastingly, motorcycles and mopeds are normally prohibited. Shared-use paths sometimes provide different lanes for users who travel at different speeds to prevent conflicts between user groups on high-use trails. Shared-use paths are criticised for creating conflict between different users. The UK's Department for Transport deprecates this kind of route in denser urban environments.

Types

Bridleways
In the UK, cyclists are legally permitted to cycle on bridleways (paths open to horse riders), but not on public footpaths. Therefore, bridleways are, in effect, a form of shared-use path.

Segregated paths

On segregated or divided paths, the path is split into a section for pedestrians and a section for cyclists. This may be achieved with a painted line or different surface. It may also be delineated with tactile paving for blind and visually impaired pedestrians.

Research by the UK Department for Transport found that cyclists and pedestrians prefer wider non-segregated paths to more narrow segregated paths (e.g. a 3 m wide shared path, compared with a 3 m path split into 1.5 m sections).

Benefits
The principal benefit of a shared-use path is saving space. This may be important in environmentally-sensitive areas or on narrow streets, where a full cycle track may not be feasible.

Issues
Shared use paths are criticised for creating conflict between pedestrians and cyclists and creating complaints from pedestrians and speed. Therefore, the paths do not properly take into account the different needs of different road users. For example a study by the Institute for Chartered Engineers found that users of shared use paths were confused about the nature of the path and who has priority on them.

Pedestrians are sometimes unsure how to behave on shared-use paths. The question arises whether the path is to be treated as a road (therefore pedestrians should face oncoming traffic) or a path (and therefore pedestrians may walk wherever they choose).

Shared-use paths alongside the highway often look like sidewalks to motorists. Therefore, at side roads, in jurisdictions where pedestrians do not have priority at side roads, the priority situation at side roads on shared-use paths can be confusing and often cyclists are required to give way to turning motorists.

By country

United Kingdom

Before the January 2022 revision, the Highway Code gave no advice to pedestrians on how to share space with cyclists; there was is also little guidance given to cyclists. (The 2023 edition covers both aspects. The UK Department for Transport advises local authorities that cyclists and pedestrians should not be expected to share space on or alongside city streets. Sustrans gives advice for cyclists, walkers and runners using shared-use paths on the National Cycle Network.

The Milton Keynes redway system is an example of a city-wide network of shared-use paths. The network consists of over  of shared-use paths that avoid the city's busy and fast grid roads (which run between neighbourhoods rather than through them).

United States
In the US, the 1999 AASHTO Guide for the Development of Bicycle Facilities defines a shared-use path as being physically separated from motor vehicular traffic with an open space or barrier.

title: Aziza Siddiqui

text:
Aziza Siddiqui (; born c. 1983) was an Afghan activist. She was the Women's Rights Coordinator with the Afghan NGO Action Aid, where she conducted research on the situation of rural Afghan women and educated them about their rights, as well as organizing training on decision-making, despite being personally threatened for her work.

Born in Afghanistan, Siddiqui left for Pakistan when she was eight years old because of war, but returned to Afghanistan in 2003 to work for women's rights. In 2007 she received an International Women of Courage Award. However, due to her fame she was unable to safely return to Afghanistan after that, and so she obtained asylum in the United States.

In 2008, she began working as a case worker for BIAS, Bi-lingual International Assistant Services, which assists elderly and disabled immigrants, asylees, and refugees. In 2009 Siddiqui received the "Extraordinary Ordinary Person of the Year" Award from Gitana Productions, which promotes diversity through the arts and arts education.

title: Rhino ferry

text:
A rhino ferry is a barge constructed from several pontoons which are connected and equipped with outboard engines, used to transport heavy equipment and people. Rhino ferries were used extensively during the Normandy landings and other theaters (Attu, Africa, Sicily, Italy); their low draft was well-suited for shallow beaches, and they could also be used as piers when filled with water. An alternative to tank landing craft, they were operated by United States Navy Construction Battalions. They ferried their cargo from the outlying Landing Ships, Tank to the shore.

For the Normandy invasion, components were shipped from the US. Initial construction in the UK was by the USN Construction battalions. Rhinos (and causeways, which used the same components) were also assembled by British Army Royal Engineers.

title: Republican Party of Dahomey

text:
The Republican Party of Dahomey (, PRD) was a political party in French Dahomey led by Sourou-Migan Apithy.

History
The party was established by Apithy in 1951. It emerged as the largest party in the 1952 Territorial Assembly elections, winning 19 of the 32 second college seats. The party came first in the 1956 French National Assembly elections, returning Apithy to the Assembly.

The PRD went on to win the 1957 Territorial Assembly elections, taking 35 of the 60 seats. In 1958 the party merged with the Dahomeyan Democratic Rally (RDD) to form the Dahomeyan Progressive Party, which was to be the Dahomeyan branch of the African Regroupment Party. However, internal disagreements led to the parties splitting back into their original forms in 1959.

The PRD also won the 1959 elections, despite receiving fewer votes than the Dahomeyan Democratic Union (UDD). Due to accusations of fraud, it later agreed to give nine seats to the UDD, but remained the largest party in the Assembly. In February 1960 it was transformed into the Dahomey Nationalist Party (Parti des Nationalistes du Dahomey, PND) after admitting federalists led by Émile Derlin Zinsou. In November 1960 the PND agreed to merge with the RDD and the National Liberation Movement led by Jean Pliya and Albert Teveodjré, this time under the name Dahomeyan Unity Party.

title: Gau Hamburg

text:
The Gau Hamburg was an administrative division of Nazi Germany from 1933 to 1945 in the German city of Hamburg. Before that, from 1925 to 1933, it was the regional subdivision of the Nazi Party in that area.

History
The Nazi Gau (plural Gaue) system was originally established in a party conference on 22 May 1926, in order to improve administration of the party structure. From 1933 onwards, after the Nazi seizure of power, the Gaue increasingly replaced the German states as administrative subdivisions in Germany.

At the head of each Gau stood a Gauleiter, a position which became increasingly more powerful, especially after the outbreak of the Second World War, with little interference from above. Local Gauleiters often held government positions as well as party ones and were in charge of, among other things, propaganda and surveillance and, from September 1944 onward, the Volkssturm and the defense of the Gau.

In the early years from 1925 to 1929 the position of Gauleiter in Hamburg was held by Josef Klant, Albert Krebs and Hinrich Lohse before Karl Kaufmann took over and held it from 1929 to 1945. Klant, Hamburg's original Gauleiter, held the post for only a short time, resigned and died in 1927. Lohse, who was Gauleiter of Schleswig-Holstein from 1926 to 1945, was also, from 1941 onward, in charge of the Reichskommissariat Ostland where he was responsible for the implementation of Nazi Germanization policies built on the foundations of the Generalplan Ost: the killing of almost all Jews, Romani people and Communists and the oppression of the local population were its necessary corollaries. He was sentenced to ten years in prison in 1948 but released in 1951, an extradition request by the Soviet Union having been refused, and died in 1964. Krebs, Gauleiter from 1926 to 1928, was expelled from the Nazi Party by Hitler in 1932 and published his autobiography after the war in which he was critical of Hitlers leadership style. Kaufmann, Hamburg's longest-serving Gauleiter, spent time in prison after the war but was released because of an injury. He cultivated a myth of the "good Gauleiter", claiming to have saved Hamburg from further destruction by surrendering it to the Allies in the final days of war but this was disproven. He also attempted to portray Hamburg as a liberal city in the Nazi era, contrary to the fact that he was the first Gauleiter to request and receive permission for the deportation of the Jewish population after Allied air raids on the city in September 1941. He died in Hamburg in 1969.

The Neuengamme concentration camp was located in the Gau Hamburg. Of the 106,000 prisoners that were sent to the camp 55,000 perished.

On 24 May 1870, the battalion was called out on active service in response to the Fenian Raids. After serving on the St. Lawrence River frontier, the battalion was removed from active service on 2 June 1870.

Battalion headquarters was moved to Pembroke, Ontario, on 1 December 1897. The battalion was then redesignated as the 42nd Lanark and Renfrew Battalion of Infantry.

On 8 May 1900, the battalion was redesignated as the 42nd Lanark and Renfrew Regiment.

Lineage chart

History

First World War
The 42nd Lanark and Renfrew Regiment was not mobilized itself for service overseas. However it contributed volunteers to the 2nd Battalion (Eastern Ontario Regiment), CEF; the 21st Battalion (Eastern Ontario), CEF; the 38th Battalion (Ottawa), CEF; the 77th Battalion (Ottawa), CEF; and the 80th Battalion, CEF.

On 22 December 1915, the 130th Battalion (Lanark and Renfrew), CEF was authorized for service and on 27 September 1916, the battalion embarked for Great Britain. After its arrival in the UK, on 6 October 1916, the battalion's personnel were absorbed by the 12th Reserve Battalion, CEF to provide reinforcements for the Canadian Corps in the field. On 21 May 1917, the 130th Battalion was disbanded.

On 15 July 1916, the 240th Battalion, CEF was authorized for service and on 3 May 1917, the battalion embarked for Great Britain. After its arrival in the UK, on 4 June 1917, the battalion's personnel were absorbed by the 7th Reserve Battalion, CEF to provide reinforcements for the Canadian Corps in the field. On 1 September 1917, the 240th Battalion was disbanded.

1920s-1930s
On 12 March 1920, as a result of the Otter Commission and the following post-war reorganization of the militia, the 42nd Lanark and Renfrew Regiment was redesignated as The Lanark and Renfrew Regiment and was reorganized. From this point it had two battalions (one of them a paper-only reserve battalion) to perpetuate the assigned war-raised battalions of the Canadian Expeditionary Force.

On 15 July 1927, the regiment was reorganized as a Scottish unit and was redesignated as The Lanark and Renfrew Scottish Regiment. The regiment adopted the Government (Black Watch) tartan as part of its regimental uniform.

The regiment had three mottos incorporated into its badges: ; ; and .

In 1930 the regiment was granted the following battle honours for the Great War. These honours became dormant when the regiment converted to artillery, being replaced by the RCA's honorary distinction .

Second World War

Home defence
The regiment did not initially mobilize for the Second World War during the general activation of units beginning in August 1939.

The 1st Battalion, The Lanark and Renfrew Scottish Regiment, CASF was mobilized on 5 March 1942, and served as part of the Army's Atlantic Command in a home defence role. On 15 October 1943, The 1st Battalion was disbanded.

Italy and Northwest Europe
In July 1944, the 5th Canadian (Armoured) Division realized that it was short of infantry. The 12th Canadian Infantry Brigade was created out of units already in existence. One unit of the new brigade was the motor battalion of the division, a second was a re-equipped reconnaissance battalion from the 1st Canadian Infantry Division, and a third unit was created from anti-aircraft units, as the Allies had  air superiority. This unit petitioned The Lanark and Renfrew Scottish for permission to use their name and regimental insignia, feeling it was more appropriate for an infantry battalion. Permission was granted, and The Lanark and Renfrew Scottish served in the 12th Brigade until March 1945. After all Canadian forces in Italy were transferred to the command of First Canadian Army in Northwest Europe (Operation Goldflake), the brigade was dissolved, the units therein returned to their former roles, and the Lanark and Renfrew Scottish battalion was returned to its former duties and designation.

The regiment was awarded these battle honours for the Second World War. Again, these honours were subsumed under  when the regiment converted to artillery.

title: Jegrička Nature Park

text:
The Jegrička Nature Park (Serbian: Парк природе Јегричка / Park prirode Jegrička) is a nature park in the north of Serbia along the Jegrička river the Bačka region of the Vojvodina province. The river is often lyrically referred to as "the umbilical cord of the Bačka wetlands" and is therefore declared a nature park. It covers the area along the river's banks and runs through four municipalities: Bačka Palanka, Vrbas, Temerin and Žabalj.

In the late 2000s the sections of the river which flow through the settlements, like Ravno Selo and Zmajevo, were dredged and cleaned from silt, while the banks were adapted into the esplanades with the benches, gazebos and tables. But by 2011 the river was clogged with the garbage again. The water in the park is threatened by the domestic waste, sewage water, cutting and burning of the reed, drainage of the pesticides from the surrounding fields and poaching.

Flora

The nature park is renowned for having large carpets of white water lilies. Other species include marsh fern and greater bladderwort.

Fauna

The river is rich in different fish species, amphibians, reptiles and mammals. It host different species of water fowl and is home to the endangered Ferruginous duck. The river is rich in common carp, northern pike, wels catfish and zander and a section of the river is transformed into the Jegrička fish pond. The section of the park is declared an important bird area.

title: Hog chains

text:
Hog chains were a technological device that permitted river boats to have lightly built hulls so they could travel in shallow water.

Engineering problem
It was advantageous for river vessels to operate in very shallow water, so that work could be done at all seasons and in areas that lacked deeper rivers.  This required flat-bottomed boats with lightly built hulls.   However, the hulls tended to bend out of shape over time, particularly with sternwheelers, which had heavy components at stern (the sternwheel) and also towards the bow (the boilers).   If the boat hull became bowed upwards in the middle, this was called "hogging".  If the boat bowed down in the middle, this was called "sagging".

Description
To forestall hogging and sagging, since about 1850, the hulls of wooden river boats were held in shape by a system of wire trusses, called "hog chains".  These were not chains at all, but rather iron rods  in diameter, which ran from strong points in the hull to vertical timbers, called "hog posts, which looked like masts, rising above the hull.  Tension on the hog chains was adjusted through the use of turnbuckles.  Generally the hog posts which carried the chains did not rise above the cabins on Mississippi River-style steamers.  This was not the case with steamboats designed in the Pacific Northwest style, where the hogposts were often clearly visible rising above the superstructure.

Consequences of failure
Should the hog-chains break, the hull would come out of tension, and start sagging on the ends.  This was called being "hogged".  In some cases the sagging on the ends would be so great that a boat's hull would break in half.   Accidents such as running aground were the kind of things that could cause hog-chains to break.
