title: Newcastle Arts Centre

text:
The Newcastle Arts Centre is a fine and performing arts centre in Newcastle upon Tyne, England.

History
The Newcastle Arts Centre was founded in July 1981 by Mike and Norma Tilley.  The centre was formed in a block of seven abandoned buildings consisting of merchant houses, shops, warehousing and a former department store in Central Newcastle allowing for a mixed use development where some buildings could be rented out to help fund the provision of art space with a street level access that is integrated into the existing townscape.  The Centre was designed with an eye toward maintaining the existing buildings and their identity within the community.  After several years of funding and development, the Centre was officially opened by Prince Charles in 1988.

By the end of the 1980s, the Centre was home to Northern Stage and New Writing North, among other photography, audio, and visual arts productions.

The Centre also promoted a successful Edinburgh Fringe stopover programme and an annual professional craft fair. Newcastle Arts Centre has operated without revenue grant aid since 1993, supported by 82,000 visitors per year.

Awards and recognition
The architectural innovation of the Newcastle Arts Centre was recognized with a Times/RIBA Community Enterprise Award.  It was also the subject of a case study in Arts and the Changing City.

title: Accretion (meteorology)

text:
Accretion is defined as the gradual collection of something over time.  In meteorology or atmospheric science it is the process of accumulation of frozen water as precipitation over time as it descends through the atmosphere, in particular when an ice crystal or snowflake hits a supercooled liquid droplet, which then freeze together, increasing the size of the water particle.  The collection of these particles eventually forms snow or hail in clouds and depending on lower atmosphere temperatures may become rain, sleet, or graupel. Accretion is the basis for cloud formation and can also be seen as water accumulates on the particulate matter and form jet contrails.  This is because water vapor in the air requires condensation nuclei to form large droplets of solid or liquid water.

title: 1999–2000 FIBA Saporta Cup

text:
The 1999–2000 FIBA Saporta Cup was the thirty-fourth edition of FIBA's 2nd-tier level European-wide professional club basketball competition. It occurred between September 21, 1999, and April 11, 2000. The final was held at Lausanne, Switzerland.

Competition system
 48 teams (national domestic cup champions, plus the best qualified teams from the most important European national domestic leagues), entered a preliminary group stage, divided into eight groups of six teams each, and played a round-robin. The final standings were based on individual wins and defeats. In the case of a tie between two or more teams, after the group stage, the following criteria were used to decide the final classification: 1) number of wins in one-to-one games between the teams; 2) basket average between the teams; 3) general basket average within the group.
 The top four teams from each group qualified for a 1/16 Final Playoff (X-pairings, home and away games), where the winners advanced further to 1/8 Finals, 1/4 Finals, and 1/2 Final.
 The Final was played at a predetermined venue.

Country ranking
For the 1999–2000 FIBA Saporta Cup, the countries are allocated places according to their place on the FIBA country rankings, which takes into account their performance in European competitions from 1996–97 to 1998–99.

Team allocation
The labels in the parentheses show how each team qualified for the place of its starting round:

title: John Joseph Jolly Kyle

text:
John Joseph Jolly Kyle (2 February 1838 – 23 February 1922) was a pioneering Argentine chemist.  Born and educated in Scotland, he emigrated to Argentina in 1862, and on the outbreak of the Paraguayan War served as a pharmacist in the Argentine Army medical corps.  He became an Argentine citizen in 1873.  At the time Kyle was active specialisation was not an option in Latin American chemistry and it was necessary for a chemist to be a sort of polymath or jack-of-all-trades.  Kyle was appointed professor of chemistry at the Colegio Nacional de Buenos Aires in 1871, and chief chemist to the Casa de Moneda de la República Argentina (the Argentine Mint) in 1881.  He was appointed professor of organic chemistry at the University of Buenos Aires (1889); Chemist to the Inspectorate-General of Sanitary Works (1890); professor of industrial chemistry at the Colegio Nacional (1892); and professor of inorganic chemistry at Buenos Aires University (1896).  He was director of the first chemistry doctoral thesis in Argentina (1901).

The , awarded quinquennially by the Argentine Chemical Association for the best contribution to any branch of chemistry, and its most prestigious prize, is named in his honour.

Early life
Kyle was born in Stirling, Scotland on 2 February 1838.  He completed an apprenticeship with an Edinburgh pharmacy in 1854 and became assistant to Dr Stevenson Macadam, lecturer in chemistry to Surgeons' Hall, Edinburgh.  He made his first scientific discovery at the age of 18.  Moving to the field of industrial chemistry, he was head of the chemical laboratory of Glasgow University and then manager of an animal charcoal manufacturer in Greenock.  He was a fellow of the Royal Society of Arts.

He emigrated to Argentina in July 1862.  When President-Marshall Solano Lopez of Paraguay invaded Corrientes Province in 1865 there broke out the War of the Triple Alliance and Kyle joined the medical corps of the Argentine Army as a pharmacist with the rank of lieutenant.  He participated in the siege of Uruguaiana (where the defenders were reduced to living on lump sugar), the three-day battle of the Boquerón and in the Battle of Tuyutí, the bloodiest international battle in the history of South America.  He served on board the hospital ship Pavón and returned to Buenos Aires in December 1866 in charge of a convoy of wounded soldiers.  His wartime experiences led him to take a foundational interest in the Argentine Red Cross Society, of which he was made an honorary member in 1896.

Work
By the time of his retirement in 1906 he had published some 65 chemical papers, most of them in the Spanish language, on such diverse topics as the chemical compositions of Argentine rivers, the medicinal plants of  Córdoba Province, Argentina, the incrustation of locomotive boilers, the presence of organic matter in drinking water, the caffeine content of yerba mate, the adulteration of saffron, the wines of the Argentine Republic, compositions of meteorites fallen in Buenos Aires Province, Patagonian guano, the petroleum of Jujuy Province, a new alkaloid he isolated from Ruprechtia salicifolia, Cape Virgins gold, Tierra del Fuego platinum, well water, the cement of a failed dam, the destruction of masonry by cloacal gases, and a silver-yielding manganese ore from Mendoza Province.

According to Rapela and Depetris, Kyle was the first Argentine geochemist.  Of his papers,

On a vanadiferous lignite found in the Argentine Republic with analysis of the ash  was read before the British Association Edinburgh meeting in 1892.  His last work, published in Ambrosetti, El bronce en la region calchaquí established that the Calchaquí Amerindians were a Bronze Age people.  He died in Buenos Aires on 23 February 1922.

title: HMS Crescent (1784)

text:
HMS Crescent was a 36-gun Flora-class frigate of the British Royal Navy. Launched in 1784, she spent the first years of her service on blockade duty in the English Channel where she single-handedly captured the French frigate, La Reunion. In 1795, Crescent was part of a squadron commanded by George Elphinstone, that forced the surrender of a Batavian Navy squadron at the capitulation of Saldanha Bay. After serving in the West Indies, Crescent returned to home waters and was wrecked off the coast of Jutland on 6 December 1808.

Background
Britain's early preference for smaller warships was mainly because of a requirement to maintain a large navy and to keep the expense of doing so down. However, by the latter half of the 1770s, Britain was facing a war with France, Spain and the United States of America, and was in need of a more powerful type of frigate. In 1778, the Navy Board ordered the first of two new types of frigate, the Minerva-class of 38 guns, and the Flora-class of 36-guns. For both 18-pounder guns comprised the main battery. Crescent was ordered on 11 August 1781 and was to be of the 36-gun variety.

Construction
Built by John Nowlan and Thomas Calhoun of Bursledon, Hampshire, Crescent was  along her gundeck, had a  beam and a depth in the hold of . This gave her a burthen of 887 tons (bm). Launched on 28 October 1784, she was completed in January the following year, including copper sheathing of the hull, and was taken to Portsmouth where she was laid up in ordinary and not fitted for sea until 6 June 1790. Crescent was armed with a 26-gun main battery of 18-pounders on her gundeck, eight 9-pound guns and four 18-pound carronades on her quarterdeck, and two 9-pound guns and four 18-pound carronades on her fo'c'sle.

Career
Initially commissioned under Captain William Young in May 1790, she was recommissioned in January 1793 under James Saumarez. She joined Rear-Admiral John MacBride's squadron on blockade duty in the English Channel and on 22 June, assisted by HMS Hind and a privateer named Lively, captured the 10-gun French privateer, le Chib de Cherbourg. Later that month, Hind and Crescent also took a 12-gun privateer called L'Espoir. Crescent narrowly avoided capture when on 8 June 1793 she evaded the 50-gun French ships, Le Scévola and Le Brutus.

Action of 20 October 1793

On the morning of 20 October 1793, lookouts on board Crescent reported sails off Cape Barfleur, on the Cotentin Peninsula, heading towards Cherbourg. Saumarez set a course to intercept, and with the wind in his favour, soon came up on the port side of the two vessels which proved to be the 38-gun French frigate La Réunion and a 14-gun cutter named Espérance, returning from a raiding cruise in the Channel under the command of Captain François A. Dénian.

A second British frigate, the 28-gun HMS Circe, was becalmed some  away and Espérance fled towards Cherbourg, leaving Réunion and Crescent to engage alone. Although the French ship was bigger,  compared to , and carried a larger crew; the British ship had a slight advantage in weight of shot,  to  and was marginally faster.

After the opening exchanges, Réunion lost her fore yard and mizzen topmast while Crescent lost the top off her foremast. Both ships had rigging cut and a number of sails damaged but Crescent was still able to manoeuvre across Réunion's stern and rake her. This raking caused huge damage to the French ship and her crew, and although Réunion continued to resist for some time, she was no longer able to move effectively.
With Saumarez about to cross his bow and Circe now rapidly approaching due to a strengthening wind, Dénian realised he had no choice but to surrender his vessel. The engagement had lasted two hours and ten minutes during which time the cutter, Espérance, managed to escape to Cherbourg. The French frigate Sémillante, which had been anchored in the harbour, was unable to come to Réunion's rescue because of contrary wind and tides.

Capitulation of Saldanha Bay

In 1795, Crescent was commanded by Edward Buller and on 7 March 1796 she made for the Cape of Good Hope. As part of a squadron commanded by George Elphinstone, she was present at Saldanha Bay where a squadron of the new Batavian Republic capitulated. The Cape had long been important to Britain's marine traffic, providing a convenient stopping point en route to India. In the previous year, fearing that it may fall into the hands of the French, Britain had captured the colony from the Dutch. The following year (1796) the Dutch sent a squadron under the command of Rear-Admiral Engelbertus Lucas to recapture the Cape. Keith's ships trapped the Dutch in Saldanha Bay on 17 August and Lucas was forced to surrender without a fight.

Crescent remained stationed at the Cape and in 1797 she was under the command of Captain John Murray. Murray was superseded by Captain John Spranger in February 1798, then Charles Brisbane in June that same year.

West Indies
Crescent was repaired and refitted at Deptford in August 1798, re-commissioned under William Lobb in April 1799 and sent to the West Indies. In November, while en route, she captured the 16-gun El Galgo. Then while serving on the Jamaica station, in July 1800 Crescent took the 12-gun , which the Royal Navy took into service as a 14-gun transport under her existing name.

Between 21 May and 8 August, Crescent, , and Nimrod captured two Spanish vessels: a felucca that was sailing from Havana to Vera Cruz, and a xebec sailing from Campeachy to Havana.

Captain Lennox Thompson took command of Crescent in July 1802 and in June the following year, Crescent was recommissioned under Lord William Stuart.

Return to home waters
Crescent returned to home waters in February 1806, under Captain James Carthew. She served in the North Sea before undergoing repairs between June and October 1808. Recommissioned under George Reynolds in April 1808 she remained in home waters and passed to Captain John Temple who was in command when Crescent was wrecked off the coast of Jutland on 6 December. More than 200 people died as a result, including Temple himself.

title: Galba (automobile)

text:
Galba was a French automobile produced by a company created for the purpose between 1929 and 1930.

Marcel Violet, who had previously created the Sima-Violet cyclecar, founded a new company registered as the Société Sylla at Courbevoie on the northern side of Paris, and immediately announced his introduction of the Galba in the spring of 1929.   It was one in a succession of cars designed by Violet, a respected automobile engineer with a particular specialism in two-stroke engines.

The only model was a small "voiturette" automobile that sat on a  wheelbase and was powered by a 2-stroke twin cylinder engine of 564cc.   The power unit was fitted at the front of the car and drove the rear wheels via a two speed transmission and a shaft-drive.

Despite a long gestation period, the Galba proved short-lived.   By October 1930 Marcel Violet was already producing the Huascar, a voiturette very similar to the Galba which was indeed produced at the same Courbevoie factory, but which had a slightly larger engine and was produced by a new company called "Voiturettes Huascar".

title: Maurus Caruana

text:
Sir Maurus Caruana, O.S.B., K.G.C., K.B.E. (November 16, 1867 – 17 December 1943), was a Maltese Benedictine monk who served as the Bishop of Malta and the Titular Archbishop of Rhodes.

Early life

He was born Luigi Carlo Giovanni Giuseppe Publio Caruana in Floriana, in what was then the Crown Colony of Malta, part of the British Empire. He was the youngest of the three sons of Enrico Caruana, assistant secretary to the Admiral Superintendent of the Malta Dockyards, and Elizabetta Bonavia. His older brothers went on to become a London banker and the Judge-Advocate General of the British Raj in India.

Caruana's mother died on January 25, 1869, when Luigi was still in his infancy, and he was raised by his father. In 1876, at the age of nine, he was admitted to the minor seminary of the Diocese of Gozo, and a year later he pursued his studies at St. Ignatius College in St. Julian's, administered by the Jesuit Fathers. Wishing to become a Benedictine monk, in 1882 he was enrolled in the school operated by the monks of Fort Augustus Abbey in Scotland, where he continued his studies.

Monk

In 1884, Caruana was received as a postulant of the monastic community, and received the monastic habit on March 21 of that year, celebrated by Benedictines as the feast day of St. Benedict, the founder of the Benedictine Order, and being given at that occasion the religious name of Maurus, after one of the founder's most noted disciples. He made his temporary profession of religious vows the following year, and he made his solemn vows three years later, on November 11, 1888. He then pursued his study of theology and was ordained a priest on March 14, 1891, by Hugh MacDonald, C.Ss.R., the Bishop of Aberdeen. He was then sent to pursue his ecclesiastical studies in Rome at  San Anselmo College, an international center of studies run by the Benedictine Order.

After his return to his abbey, Caruana taught philosophy, theology and Latin literature at the abbey school. In 1899 he was appointed a parish priest at Dornie, western Ross-shire, in the Scottish Highlands, for which he learned Gaelic to care for a widely scattered flock. In 1904, due to his talents and training, he was chosen to act as private secretary to the Maltese bishop, Ambrose Agius, O.S.B. (1856-1911), another Benedictine monk, who, at the time, was Apostolic Delegate to the Philippines. This was to be his only experience of higher ecclesiastical office before he was appointed bishop.

In 1906, Caruana returned to Fort Augustus Abbey, where he was appointed choir master for the community. He also engaged in a preaching ministry in various locales in Scotland and England over the next few years, including Westminster Cathedral in London, where he preached a course of Lenten sermons. He was especially welcome by the Italian immigrant community of the United Kingdom for his proficiency in their language.

Bishop

In December 1914, Caruana was sent to Brazil on a preaching mission. He decided to spend time with his family back in Malta on the way. While there, he was summoned to Rome the following month where he learned that Pope Benedict XV had named him the Bishop of Malta. He was consecrated at the Basilica of Santa Maria in Trastevere by the Secretary of State of the Holy See, Cardinal Rafael Merry del Val on February 10 of the same year. The day was of significance, as it is celebrated in Malta as the Feast of St. Paul's shipwreck there and by Benedictines as the Feast of St. Scholastica, the sister of St. Benedict. He was also honored with being appointed a Knight Grand Cross of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta.

The population of Malta received its new bishop with huge enthusiasm and he received a large donation from the public to commemorate the occasion, which he promptly turned to purchasing bread for the poor and for the upkeep of the seminary of the diocese. He became the first Maltese to be created a Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 1918, shortly after the Order had been established by King George V.

On March 29, 1928, Monsignor Caruana was granted the personal title of archbishop by Pope Pius XI, as the Titular See of Rhodes, which the Bishops of Malta had held concurrently since 1797, had been restored as a functioning diocese.

According to “Pope Grants Plenary Indulgence in Air Raids,” Advocate (Australia), January 7, 1943, a newspaper article accessible on the National Library of Australia Archives website. Archbishop Caruana, broadcasting to the Maltese on December 26, 1942 exhorted them to make an all-out effort for victory against the Axis powers. He is quoted as having said. “There is no other alternative for all right-thinking men faced with the evidence of the inherent barbarity of the enemy, his anti-Christian temper, his persecution of religion, his contempt for the laws of civilization and his savage extermination of the Jews.”

Caruana died during World War II, after he had led the island through the Siege of Malta by the Nazi Luftwaffe. He is buried in St Gregory The Great Parish Church, Sliema, Malta.

title: 1939–40 Lancashire Cup

text:
The 1939–40 Lancashire Cup was the thirty-second occasion on which the Lancashire Cup completion had been held. Due to the start of the Second World War, the competition was delayed until early 1940. Swinton won the trophy  by beating Widnes on a two legged final by the score of 21-15 aggregate.

The first leg was played at Naughton Park, Widnes, and the second led was played at Station Road, Swinton.

Swinton won both legs, 5-4 away and 16-11 at home.

The attendances were 5,500 at Widnes and  9,000 at Swinton.

Preamble to changes
Prior to the declaration of war on 3 September 1939, most clubs had played two or three fixtures (on Saturday 26, Thursday 31 August and Saturday 2 September).

During the following week, the Northern Rugby League decided, after publicity from the Government, to suspend the championship. They almost immediately inaugurated two regional (Lancashire and Yorkshire), Wartime Emergency Leagues, with the winner of each league meeting in a play-off final to decide the overall winner.

The Challenge Cup and both County Cups were suspended. There was to be no Lancashire Cup competition in 1939.

But later in the season both County Cups were resurrected.

The Lancashire Cup started on Saturday 2 March 1940 and was played on consecutive weekends.

Each and every match was played on a two-legged home and away basis.

Background
St Helens Recs had already withdrawn from the league immediately after the end on the 1938-39 season. The club had been struggling to survive for a few years with falling attendances and the economic depression and it was obviously not possible for the town to sustain two top teams.

The number of teams entering this year's competition decreased by one with the loss of St Helens Recs to a total of 12.

The same fixture format was retained. This season saw no byes but two “blank” or “dummy” fixture in the first round. The second round now had two byes.

The whole competition was played on the basis of two legged ties.

Competition and results

Round 1 – First Leg
Involved  6 matches (with two “blank” fixture) and 12 clubs

Round 1 – Second  Leg
Involved  6 matches (with two “blank” fixture) and 12 clubs. The reverse fixtures of the first leg

The road to success

The first club named in each tie played the first leg at home

The scores shown are the aggregate score over the two legs

Notes and comments
This would be the last year of the Lancashire Cup until season 1945-46.

In the in-between years, many Lancashire clubs were invited (and accepted the invitation) to take part in the Yorkshire Cup competition.

title: Mattuthavani (film)

text:
Mattuthavani is a 2012 Indian Tamil-language drama film written and directed by Pavithran. The film stars Ramkiran and Menaka  and Meetha , whilst Soori appeared in a supporting role, with music composed by Deva. The film had opened to poor reviews. Notably, this film also marked the comeback for actress, Menaka Suresh in Tamil cinemas after 26 years.

Cast
 Ramkiran as Ram
 Meenakshi as Maheshwari
 Kadhal Dhandapani as Samudrakani
 Soori as Ram's friend
 Vimal as Ram's friend
 Sathish
 Meetha
 Ponnambalam
 Menaka
 Singamuthu
 Bonda Mani as Tea seller

Production
The film was launched in May 2007 with director Pavithran announcing a comeback to films but it developed slowly as a result of a series of legal problems. In November 2009, director Pavithran held an event to showcase the film to the media, revealing that the film would feature an all new cast.

Soundtrack
Soundtrack was composed by Deva. Former actor-politician M. K. Muthu recorded a song for the film in 2008, while Lakshmi Amma of Paruthi Veeran fame also sang in the album composed by Deva.

Release
The delay of the film meant that planned release dates were regularly evaded, with the earliest such date being August 2007. The film stepped up promotions to have an April 2009 releasem though such plans were also unsuccessful. A critic from The Times of India wrote that "It is difficult to believe that the movie is directed by the same Pavithran who had earlier given us movies like “Suriyan” and “I love India”".

The film eventually released on 20 April 2012 and fared poorly at the box office.

title: Charentais horse

text:
The Charentais and Vendéen are extinct breeds of horse from western France. They were bred principally in the area around Poitou-Charentes and Vendée, France. They were used as a mount for light cavalry.

History
The Charentais and Vendéen breeds both descend from the Poitevin horse. Ordinances published between 1665 and 1717 contain records of Poitevin stallions being sent to Fontenay-le-Comte. The history of these breeds can be compared with that of many regional horse populations during the 19th century, when new animal husbandry practices transformed the native horses of the French provinces through the introduction of foreign stallions via the Haras Nationaux in order to create new breeds for the army. The Arabian and Thoroughbred varieties were considered to be superior for breeding. This type of crossbreed, namely a native mare of carriage or military orientation  bred with a thoroughbred stallion, was recognized in 1914 under the name "half-blood." Such "half-blood" breeds can be found in many regions of France, typically taking their names from their native regions.

Origins
The horses of the Charente basin were, according to Jean-Henri Magne, "as varied as the earth that nourishes them." To the west, in the marshes of Rochefort and Marennes, one could find horses with thick skin, strong manes, wide feet, poorly-formed legs, long and spindly barrels, capable of going for a long time without drinking, yet difficult to break in. André Sanson summarized their history as follows:
The draining of the marshes thus transformed this breed, which came to take on lighter and more regular forms. Jean-Henri Magne noted in 1858 that "the ease with which these horses were transformed under the sapid and nutritional plants that were produced by the reclaimed pastures of Saintonge." Around 1780, the administration of the Haras Nationaux looked to stimulate the production of cavalry horses by introducing thoroughbred and Norman stallions to produce the type of half-blood breed sought after by the army. During the 19th century, the entire equine population of the marshes of Saint-Gervais and Saint-Louis, as well as that of the cavalry facilities of Deux-Sèvres, Charente-Inferieure, and Charente was composed of horses mixed with thoroughbreds and Anglo-Norman horses to varying degrees. André Sanson referred to this population as "heterogenous and heteroclite." In 1806, the stallion depot of Fontenay was replaced by those of Saint-Maixent and Saint-Jean-d'Angély. In 1845 and 1849, they were respectively moved to La Roche-sur-Yon and Saintes, where they are still found to this day. Around 1900, the high proportion of thoroughbred blood led to these facilities specializing in the breeding of saddle horses.

Vendéen
The Vendéen breed was originally imported by the Dutch in the 17th century from Friesland.  It was originally to be used for draining swamps, but was later crossed with Thoroughbred stallions to make it fit for service as a mount for light cavalry.

These breeds were combined with other lines to become the Selle Français.

Description
Garrya ovata is a shrub up to  tall and wide. The leaves are thick and leathery, ovate, up to  long, tomentose on both sides when young, at maturity glabrous above but tomentose below.

Flowers are arranged in pendulous (hanging) racemes, and are green. It blooms in March through May.

Fruits are dark blue, spherical, up to  in diameter.

Subspecies
Three subspecies are currently recognized, regarded by some authors as separate species:
Garrya ovata subsp. ovata
Garrya ovata subsp. goldmanii — (Wooton & Standl.) Dahling
Garrya ovata subsp. lindheimeri — (Torr.) Dahling

Of the three, only Garrya ovata subsp. lindheimeri is found within the United States.

title: Road signs in Canada

text:
Road signs in Canada may conform to the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Canada (MUTCDC) by the Transportation Association of Canada (TAC) for use by Canadian jurisdictions.  Although it serves a similar role to the MUTCD from the US Federal Highway Administration, it has been independently developed and has a number of key differences with its American counterpart, most notably the inclusion of bilingual (English/French) signage for jurisdictions such as New Brunswick with significant anglophone and francophone population, and a heavier reliance on symbols rather than text legends.

Language
Signs for the most part employ one or two languages: English, French or both. However, some signs are trilingual, incorporating English, French and an indigenous language.

Stop sign

In Quebec, modern signs read either  or .  Both  and  are considered valid French words and the  (OQLF) notes that the use of "stop" on stop signs is attested in French since 1927.  In practice, however, it can be empirically observed (for instance, with Google Street View) that  predominates in French-speaking areas (i.e., most of the geographic extent of Quebec), while  can be found in majority English-speaking areas such as Montreal's West Island suburbs. At the time of the debates surrounding the adoption of the Charter of the French Language ("Bill 101") in 1977, the usage of  on the older dual-word signs was considered to be English and therefore controversial; some signs were occasionally vandalized with red spray paint to turn the word  into "101".  However, it was later officially determined by the OQLF that  is a valid French word in this context, and the older dual  +  usage is therefore not considered bilingual but merely redundant and therefore deprecated ().  All newly installed signs thus use either one word or the other, but not both.

The province of New Brunswick  has bilingual  in English-speaking areas. Acadian regions of Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island also have bilingual signs.  Some areas in Manitoba and Ontario also have bilingual signs. Entry points to the country through Canada Customs and other federally-regulated sites (including airports) also have bilingual stop signs. On First Nations or Inuit territories, stop signs sometimes use the local aboriginal language in addition to or instead of English and/or French. Other parts of Canada use .

Ontario road signs

The Ministry of Transportation of Ontario (MTO) also has historically used its own MUTCD which bore many similarities to the TAC MUTCDC.  However, as of approximately 2000, MTO has been developing the Ontario Traffic Manual (OTM), a series of smaller volumes each covering different aspects of traffic control (e.g., sign design principles).

Sign classification
The Ontario Traffic Manual Committee categorizes all road signs into two main categories: freeway and non-freeway sign types. Signs are then subcategorized into two additional groups: urban and rural.

Quebec road signs

The following are samples of Quebec road signs. A notable difference between Quebec road signs and those of the rest of Canada is Quebec's use of a white chevron on a red background to mark road alignment around a curve, whereas the remainder of the country employs a black chevron on a yellow background.

Jan Nepomucen Białobłocki (180631 March 1828, Sokołowo, Golub-Dobrzyń) was a childhood friend and correspondent of  Polish composer Frédéric Chopin.

Born into an aristocratic family, Białobłocki began in 1816 to study at the Warsaw Lyceum, where one of his teachers was Nicolas Chopin, the composer's father; Białobłocki lodged with the Chopin family. In 1823 Białobłocki commenced studies at Warsaw University. He became a close friend of Frédéric, who addressed numerous letters to him, using Białobłocki's nickname, Jasio.

In 1828 Białobłocki died of tuberculosis of the bone, unmarried, at his family estate of Sokołowo.
