Novorossiysk (icebreaker)

Novorossiysk () is a Russian Project 21900M diesel-electric icebreaker. She was built by Vyborg Shipyard in Russia and delivered to Rosmorport in 2016.
"Novorossiysk", which represents a further development of the icebreakers "Moskva" and "Sankt-Peterburg", has two identical sister ships: "Vladivostok" and "Murmansk".
Development and construction.
In the 2000s, Russia began renewing the state-owned icebreaker fleet that, at the time, consisted mainly of Soviet-era vessels dating back to the 1970s and 1980s. In July 2004, the Saint Petersburg-based Baltic Shipyard won an international tender for the construction of two 16-megawatt diesel-electric icebreakers for Rosmorport, a state-owned company established in 2003 to manage Russia's port infrastructure and operate its fleet of diesel-powered icebreakers. These icebreakers, "Moskva" (delivered in 2008) and "Sankt-Peterburg" (2009), were the first non-nuclear icebreaker built in Russia for over three decades and the first new icebreakers ordered following the dissolution of the Soviet Union.
In 2011, the Russian government decided to continue the fleet renewal within the framework of the federal program "Development of the Transport System of Russia (2010–2020)" with three additional 16-megawatt diesel-electric icebreakers. The construction of the first icebreaker awarded to Vyborg Shipyard on 2 December 2011. On 23 February 2012, the remaining two vessels were also contracted to Vyborg Shipyard which was acquired by the state-owned United Shipbuilding Corporation (USC) to solve the shipyard's financial problems.
The new icebreakers, referred to as Project 21900M, represent a further development of the original Project 21900 design. Modifications to the original design include, among smaller general improvements, a slightly different diesel-electric power plant configuration and more efficient pulling-type propulsion units where the propeller is facing forward. While Project 21900M vessels were still sometimes referred to as "16-megawatt icebreakers", their propulsion power was increased to 18 megawatts. Externally, the most apparent difference is the helideck which has been moved to the foredeck and enlarged for the bigger Mil Mi-8 helicopter.
While the steel cutting for the second Project 21900M to be built by Vyborg Shipyard was not set to begin until sometime 2013, the production began ahead of schedule and the keel laying ceremony was held on 12 December 2012. After the launching of the first icebreaker, "Vladivostok", hull assembly of the sister vessel began on the shipyard's semi-submersible barge "Atlant" in May 2019. The unfinished vessel was launched on 29 October 2015 and delivered to Rosmorport on 26 December 2016.
Like the preceding Project 21900 icebreakers, the new icebreakers are also named after major cities of Russia with "Novorossiysk" representing the main Russian port city on the Black Sea. While a similar naming scheme was also used for a series of five diesel-electric polar icebreakers built by the Finnish shipbuilder Wärtsilä in the 1960s, "Novorossiysk"s 1965-built Soviet-era counterpart, "Kiev", was named the city that became the capital city of Ukraine following the dissolution of the Soviet Union.
Design.
"Novorossiysk" is long overall and between perpendiculars, and has a moulded beam of . Fully laden, the icebreaker draws of water. While her official Russian Maritime Register of Shipping ice class is "Icebreaker6", "Novorossiysk"s hull and propulsion units are strengthened to meet the requirements for "Icebreaker7", a higher ice class intended for icebreaking operations in the Arctic.
"Novorossiysk" has a fully integrated diesel-electric propulsion system with main diesel generators supplying power for both main propulsion as well as ship's service loads while underway. Her main power plant consists of four 12-cylinder Wärtsilä 12V32E four-stroke medium-speed diesel engines rated at each. In addition, there are two Wärtsilä 4L20 auxiliary diesel generators for use when the vessel is at port and a emergency diesel generator.
For main propulsion, "Novorossiysk" is fitted with two electrically driven azimuth thrusters. Her two Steerprop SP110ARCPULL Z-drive units, each driven by two electric propulsion motors in tandem configuration, were the most powerful mechanical azimuth thrusters in the world at the time of delivery. With a total propulsion power of , "Novorossiysk" can achieve a service speed of in open water and break up to thick level ice. In addition, she has a transverse bow thruster for maneuvering.
Career.
Unlike the other Project 21900M icebreakers, "Novorossiysk" has been operating primarily in the Arctic and in the Russian far east. In January 2017, the vessel's debut voyage to the high latitudes took her to Franz Josef Land and for the rest of the icebreaking season she provided icebreaking services in the White Sea. In 2018, she supported offshore drilling operations in the Kara Sea with ice management. After having been stationed in the Far East Basin during the 2018–2019 icebreaking season, "Novorossiysk" was deployed to Pevek until 31 October 2019. In August, she began escorting the cruise ship "Silver Explorer" along the Northern Sea Route.
"Novorossiysk" has also participated once in the annual Festival of Icebreakers in Saint Petersburg; the icebreaker was open to visitors in 2018.

The Green Ray (film)

The Green Ray () is a 1986 French film by Éric Rohmer. It was released as "The Green Ray" in the UK and as Summer in North America, but is not part of Rohmer's "Four Seasons" series. Rather, it is the fifth film of his "Comedies and Proverbs". The film was inspired by the novel of the same name by Jules Verne. It was shot in France on 16mm film and much of the dialogue is improvised.
The film won the Golden Lion and the FIPRESCI Prize at the 1986 Venice Film Festival.
Plot.
At the start of summer vacation, Delphine has just suffered the breakup of a relationship and her traveling companion has ditched her so that her new boyfriend can accompany her to Greece instead. She is left without plans at a time when Paris is emptying for the summer.
Another friend invites Delphine to join a beach party for the weekend, but she finds that she's the only one amongst the group who is single so she quickly returns to Paris. Her family pressures her to spend the holidays with them in Ireland, but she resists.
She travels alone to the Alps, but is put off by hordes of vacationers and turns around. Traveling restlessly, the theme of the movie (characterized by Roger Ebert) becomes clear: Delphine "is incapable of playing the dumb singles games that lead to one-night stands."
She meets a new girlfriend, who flirts with two young men, and she flees in anger. She recoils from the pre-packaged lines of the guys she meets in bars and on trains. She simply cannot engage in that kind of mindless double-talk any longer. Beneath her boredom is genuine anger at the roles that single women are sometimes expected to play.
While in Biarritz she eavesdrops on a conversation about Jules Verne's novel "Le Rayon Vert" ("The Green Ray"). According to Verne, when one sees a rare green flash at sunset, one's own thoughts and those of others are revealed as if by magic.
At the Biarritz railway station she meets a young man who is travelling to Saint-Jean-de-Luz. She goes with him and together they observe "le rayon vert" (the green flash).
Production.
In 1980 Rohmer embarked on a series of films each based on a proverb: the "Comedies and Proverbs". The fifth of the series was "The Green Ray" in 1986. The theme was a phrase from Rimbaud: "Ah! que le temps vienne où les cœurs s'éprennent" ("Oh! May the time come when hearts fall in love"). Rohmer explained that "I was struck by the naturalness of television interviews. You can say that here, nature is perfect. If you look for it, you find it because people forget the cameras." As was becoming his custom in pre-production, Rohmer gathered his cast together to discuss the project and their characters, but then allowed each actor to invent their own dialogue. Rohmer stated that lead actress Marie Rivière "is the one who called the shots, not only by what she said, but by the way she'd speak, the way she'd question people, and also by the questions her character evoked from the others."
The film was shot chronologically and in 16mm so as to be "as inconspicuous as possible, to have Delphine blend into the crowd as a way, ultimately, of accentuating her isolation." Rohmer also instructed his cinematographer Sophie Maintigneux to keep technical aspects of the shoot to a minimum so as to not interrupt or distract the actors. The film's only major expense was a trip to the Canary Islands in order to film the green rays there. Rohmer chose to premiere the film on Canal Plus TV, a pay-TV station that paid $130,000 for the film, which was only one fifth of its budget. Rohmer stated that "Cinema here will survive only because of television. Without such an alliance we won't be able to afford French films." The experiment paid off when the film was a theatrical hit after being released three days after its initial broadcast.
Reception.
"The Green Ray" won the Golden Lion and the FIPRESCI Prize at the 1986 Venice Film Festival. It was mostly praised by film critics, although Alain Robbe-Grillet wrote an unfavorable review and stated "I didn't like it very much."
In the 2012 "Sight & Sound" polls of the greatest films ever made, "The Green Ray" made the top-10 lists of six critics and three directors.
Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film 3 out of 4, and wrote Rohmer "is interested in the times between the big moments, the times when boredom and disenchantment set in" and "Perhaps he believes that you can best judge a person's character by observing how they behave when they feel they are not being judged."

Wrecker (film)

Wrecker is a 2015 Canadian horror film written and directed by Micheal Bafaro. It stars Anna Hutchison and Drea Whitburn as friends on a road trip who are menaced by a psychopathic tow truck driver. It premiered on November 6, 2015.
Plot.
A husband and wife become stranded on a stretch of road known as Devil's Pass. When their cell phone reception cuts out, they wait for help. Elsewhere, Emily joins her friend Leslie on a road trip after she becomes frustrated with her boyfriend, who she believes may have cheated on her. Emily drives their Ford Mustang as Leslie begins drinking their beer. At a fork, Leslie stops Emily and suggests they take Devil's Pass. After deliberating, Emily agrees.
Before long, they become stuck behind a foul-smelling tow truck that carries the earlier couple's car. Annoyed that the driver would not pull over to let them pass, Leslie curses the driver after they speed past it. As the women pull into a gas station, they see the truck follow them. Emily sees the driver's boots but nothing else. Wanting to avoid unnecessary confrontation, the women pull out without an oil change. The gas station attendant warns them to service the car soon.
The truck driver follows them and reacts aggressively to their presence, so Emily allows it to pass her. As it slows down in front of them, Emily attempts to pass it, only to be waved ahead into oncoming traffic. Shaken, the women speed ahead of it and nearly hit one of two children in a residential area. Emily and Leslie pull off the road to a diner, only to become nervous when they realize the tow truck driver is also parked there. They confront a patron they believe to be the driver, but he leaves in a pickup. A waitress asks them to leave for causing a scene, and they cautiously return to the highway.
They find the couple's car, which the tow truck had previously been towing, abandoned on the road. The pickup driver stops to aid them, and they quickly explain their ordeal. As he helps them get the abandoned car off the road, the tow truck driver appears and hit the abandoned car with Emily in it. She quickly gets out. The women warn off the pickup truck driver and fearfully speed off. The tow truck continues following them, eventually driving them off the road with a flat tire. As the women flee on foot, Emily trips and falls on a rock, and passes out for a while. When she wakes, Leslie is gone, and the car's tire has been changed.
Not knowing what else to do, Emily returns to the road, only to become spooked by other trucks. She pulls off the road and sleeps for a while, having a nightmare about Leslie. When she wakes, she continues down Devil's Pass until a police officer stops her. Excited to find help, Emily tells the skeptical officer about the trucker. Before she can convince him, the trucker runs him over. The trucker hitches the squad car to his truck and drives off, confusing Emily. She takes the dead cop's pistol and returns to her own car, which has again ran low on gas.
Emily forgets she is holding the pistol when she stops at a gas station but uses it to force the attendant to give her gas. As she uses a pay phone to contact the police, the tow truck appears again and destroys the phone booth. Emily flees in the Mustang, which alerts her to engine trouble now that she has ignored the oil for too long. Knowing she can no longer outrun the tow truck, she engages it in a game of chicken. She drives straight toward it and the truck swerves hard enough to balance precariously off a cliff.
Emily approaches the truck and demands to know what happened to Leslie. The trucker does not answer and continues attempting to back up from the edge. As she approaches closer, she hears a cell phone go off and runs back to the car. The ringing leads her to the trunk, which she slowly opens, dreading what she will find. She closes the trunk door after being horrified at the contents, then uses her car to ram the tow truck off the cliff. Later, in an unspecified junkyard that has the couple’s car, the police cruiser, and the pickup truck in storage, a similar tow truck menaces a driver who looks like Leslie, implying a series of paranormal events.
Production.
Bafaro came up with the film's concept when he overheard two women argue at a remote gas station. He was inspired by "Duel", "The Vanishing", and "Breakdown". Bafaro was inspired by "Duel" not to reveal the driver, saying that it makes the film "more thrilling". Star Hutchison was also a fan of "Duel", but said that it focused entirely on males. She was drawn to the script because it has more of a focus on females. Bafaro said the film's main theme is abusive relationships: the trucker and the women seem to at first have a normal relationship, but it becomes increasingly abusive. Shooting took place around Vancouver, Canada. Some scenes were shot in the Fraser Canyon near Lytton.
Release.
XLrator Media released "Wrecker" to cinemas on November 6 and on video on demand on November 10, 2016. It was released on DVD on January 5, 2015.
Reception.
Dennis Harvey of "Variety" called the film a "low-budget ripoff" of "Duel" that suffers for the absence of both Dennis Weaver and the expected exploitative content. Frank Scheck of "The Hollywood Reporter", in comparing it negatively to "Duel", wrote, "Director Bafaro shows little aptitude for the driving sequences, which are stunningly dull in their repetitiveness and lack of visual flair." Maitland McDonagh of "Film Journal International" wrote, "Pitched somewhere between "Duel" and "Joy Ride", this motor-psycho picture fails to stake out new territory or ring any significant changes on a decades-old formula." Noel Murray of the "Los Angeles Times" also compared it negatively to "Duel", saying that it reworks "Duel" into a film with "two nondescript heroes instead of one" and a series of boring cuts between the two vehicles. Joel Harley of "Starburst" rated it 5/10 stars and wrote, "It's fast, slick and lovely to look at, but there's absolutely nothing there beneath the hood." Chuck Bowen of "Slant Magazine" rated it 1.5/4 stars and called it "an undistinguished entry" that "offers minor pleasures" despite its lack of payoff. Matt Boiselle of Dread Central rated it 2/5 stars and wrote, "[T]his was one of the more repetitious, haphazardly, and ultimately boring series of chases I’ve seen in a long time". Mark L. Miller of "Ain't It Cool News" wrote, "I really would rather recommend "Duel" any day of the week before I would tell someone they should check out "Wrecker"."

The average width of Jimei Bridge is 36 metres, making it Xiamen's widest bridge. The bridge deck consists of three parts: three lanes of road in both directions for motor vehicles with a speed limit of 80 km/h, and a two-way two-lane special corridor in the middle for the Xiamen BRT with a speed limit of 60 km/h.
Jimei Bridge links roads on the mainland such as Binhai Ave, Tong'an Road and Shenhai Expressway with roads on the island such as Island Ring Road, Ludao Avenue, Yunding North Road, Jinshang Road, and Chenggong Avenue.
With the exception of the original Gaoji Causeway, Xiamen Island has the connections to the mainland of Jimei Bridge, Haicang Bridge, Xiamen Bridge, Xinglin Bridge, and Xiang'an Tunnel.
Accident.
On 2016 February 29, the plaque written by former Chinese President and General Secretary of the Communist Party Jiang Zemin with the bridge's name broke suddenly, occupying half a lane. No injuries were recorded.


Cunard Building (New York City)

The Cunard Building, also known as the Standard & Poors Building, is a 22-story office building located at 25 Broadway, across from Bowling Green Park in the Financial District of Lower Manhattan in New York City. The Cunard Building was designed in the Italian Renaissance style by Benjamin Wistar Morris, in conjunction with consultants Carrère & Hastings.
The Cunard Building's main facade, on Broadway, is made of limestone and consists of three horizontal sections. The design employs setbacks and open "light courts" as mandated by the 1916 Zoning Resolution. The structure was designed around an irregular street grid and is located directly above a subway line that crosses the building site diagonally. The first floor interior contains an elaborately decorated lobby, as well as a similarly opulent Great Hall, which extends with a dome. The remaining floors contain various offices and school spaces.
The Cunard Building was erected for the New York City office of British-American steamship operator Cunard Line; construction started in 1920 and the building was completed the next year. Upon completion, the Cunard Building was almost fully leased to tenants of various industries. The Twenty-five Broadway Corporation, a Cunard Line affiliate, owned the building until the 1960s. The Great Hall was vacated after the Cunard Line moved out in 1968; the United States Postal Service occupied the Great Hall from 1974 until 2000, and Cipriani S.A. started using the space in 2014. The upper floors continued to host offices and various educational facilities.
Upon completion, the Cunard Building's exterior and interior designs received critical acclaim. The Cunard Building's facade and principal first-floor interior spaces were designated as landmarks by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1995. The building is also a contributing property to the Wall Street Historic District, a National Register of Historic Places district created in 2007.
Description.
The Cunard Building is a 22-story building, bounded by the Bowling Green Offices Building (11 Broadway) to the south, Broadway to the east, Greenwich Street to the west, and Morris Street to the north. It is located across from Bowling Green Park to the southeast, and 26 Broadway and the "Charging Bull" sculpture to the east. While 25 Broadway is considered to be its primary address, it is also known as 13–27 Broadway, 13–39 Greenwich Street, and 1–9 Morris Street. The Cunard Building has a frontage of along Broadway, along Greenwich Street, and along Morris Street. Due to the irregular street grid of the area, none of its corners are at right angles.
The Cunard Building was largely designed by Benjamin Wistar Morris. The massing and facade were devised by Carrère and Hastings, while exterior detail was created by Rochette & Parzini. The structure was laid out so that ancillary structures such as smoke stacks, penthouses, and storage tanks could not be seen from the side. Its location near ferry slips, the New York City Subway, elevated Interborough Rapid Transit lines, and the Hudson & Manhattan Railroad's Hudson Terminal made the Cunard Building desirable to tenants. In the 1970s, the Cunard Building became known as the Standard & Poors Building, after its tenant Standard & Poor's, though the name also came to refer to nearby structures.
Form.
The building is H-shaped, with "light courts" facing north toward Morris Street and south toward the Bowling Green Building. The "light courts" are located above the base. The placement of these courts allowed light to enter the Great Hall, located on the first floor. According to Morris, the irregular street grid of the neighborhood made it difficult to determine the orientation of the building; he finally decided on its current north–south alignment since, at the time, it would have been possible to see the North River (now the Hudson River) to the south.
At the time of the Cunard Building's construction, large buildings in New York City were being erected in a "C" or "H" shape to maximize illumination of the interior space. Additionally, the 1916 Zoning Resolution necessitated the inclusion of setbacks on buildings in New York City that were above a certain height. The Cunard Building was the first large structure built in the city after the end of World War I, and set an example for compliance to the 1916 law. Because of the presence of large intersections on either side of the building (Bowling Green to the east and the intersection of Greenwich Street and Trinity Place to the west), the required setback under the 1916 zoning law was minimal.
Foundation.
The New York City Subway's BMT Broadway Line (carrying the ) crosses diagonally underneath the Cunard Building from northwest to southeast. Two additional subway lines, the IRT Lexington Avenue Line () and the IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line (), run adjacent to the western and eastern boundaries of the building, respectively. The Lexington Avenue Line's Bowling Green station is located directly under the building's boundary, while the Broadway Line's Whitehall Street station is located one block south. Because of the confluence of subway tunnels in the area, the Cunard Building's foundation was built around the subway.
During construction, the engineers considered and rejected an idea for placing the Cunard Building's girders on the roof of the Broadway Line tunnel, since that would have resulted in vibrations every time a subway train passed by. Furthermore, the subway tunnel was designed to support the weight of several small buildings and might not have been able to support one large building. Instead, engineers decided to place the building's foundation columns on either side of the subway tunnel, and then erect girders for the building above the tunnel's roof. The foundation columns were placed as close to the subway tunnel as possible, in order to reduce the length of the trusses, which would have had to carry heavy loads. All of the foundation columns were sunk to the depth of the rock underneath.
A cofferdam was then built on the eastern border of the site, and on part of the northern border. The rock surface underneath the building site was closer to the ground on the western side of the lot, requiring extensive excavation. On the eastern side of the lot, the rock surface sloped below the elevation of the subway tunnel. A wall was built on the southern boundary of the Cunard lot, of which a width was located under the Bowling Green Offices Building. The wall served several purposes: it closed the cofferdam, underpinned the subway, and provided support for the columns on the southern side of the Cunard Building.
Facade.
Broadway elevation.
The facade at the Broadway elevation is made of Indiana Limestone, making the Cunard Building part of a masonry "canyon" on lower Broadway. It is divided into three horizontal sections on the western and eastern facades. The outermost portions of these facades consist of pavilions that project outward, while the central pavilion is set back . The projecting "side pavilions" rise to the maximum height allowed under the 1916 law. On the Broadway facade, the side pavilions are wide, while the central pavilion is about wide.
The Broadway facade contains decorative elements that signify the area's historic connections with the maritime industry, including "nautically-inspired sculpted elements", decorative keystones above the first-floor arches, decorative ship-themed roundels above the third-floor loggia, and carvings of seahorses with their riders above the pavilions' setbacks.
Within the four-story base, the central section is recessed slightly. The first floor contains five double-height arches, set within rusticated masonry, facing east toward Broadway. The center three arches, within the recessed central pavilion, lead to the Great Hall; the southernmost arch leads to the elevator lobby for the office space above; and the northernmost arch led to a banking area on the north side of the building. All the arches contain doors and windows with bronze frames. The third and fourth floors contain an Ionic-style loggia structure supported by Tuscan-style column pairs. Above the base, the facade is mostly composed of smooth limestone, except for rustication around the fifth story windows. The columns of windows around the central pavilion, which is recessed further, are also set within a rusticated facade. The outer pavilions are set back beyond the 18th story to comply with the 1916 Zoning Resolution. The central pavilion contains a loggia between the 19th and 21st stories, also supported by Tuscan-style column pairs, and includes a mansard roof above the 22nd story. The roofs of the outer pavilions, above the 22nd story, are flat.
Other elevations.
On Morris Street, the first and second stories are faced with limestone, while the basement is faced with a water table made of granite. Above the second story is a light court. The facade of the eastern wing (facing Broadway) is limestone, while the rest of the Morris Street facade is made of tan brick. There are also numerous glazed doors with bronze frames, as well as glazed paneled windows with metal frames. The remaining windows on Morris Street are sash windows.
On Greenwich Street, the basement is faced with granite and the remaining stories are faced with tan brick. The basement contains service doors, a garage door, and metal window openings. Above the garage door is a large triple-height arched window on the first through third floors, with balconies on the second and third floors; the window is recessed at an angle. The remaining windows on Greenwich Street are sash windows. There is a cornice of stone above the 22nd floor. The southernmost section of the Greenwich Street facade only goes to the third floor to allow light to enter the light court within the southern side of the building. The gray brick at both Morris and Greenwich Streets was designed to "harmoniz[e] closely with the limestone".
The south elevation consists of a brick facade with sash windows. The light court faces south toward the Bowling Green Offices Building.
Interior.
At opening, the Cunard Building featured over of space, of which was made available for tenants when it opened. A basement in the building contained a safe-deposit vault. The structure also included a fireproof internal structure. According to data collected by "The Real Deal" magazine, the precise floor area of the Cunard Building is .
The building also contained 36 elevators: 33 for passengers and 3 for freight. Of the passenger elevators, 28 were "high-speed" elevators for general use and the remaining 5 were private cabs. Twenty of the "high-speed" elevators were local and express elevators, accessible from the elevator lobby at the southern end of the Broadway facade. The other eight were located at the building's northwest corner, near Greenwich and Morris Streets.
Lobby and Great Hall.
The main entrance is from Broadway, through the three center arches, each of which contains a small entrance vestibule inside. The vestibules and the two outer arches all lead to the building's main lobby. The lobby contains a ceiling of five groin vaults, each of which correspond to one of the arches on the Broadway facade. The floors are made of travertine with marble trim and contain maritime-themed bronze medallions. The walls are also made of travertine; there is a fireplace on the southern wall and a roll-down gate and doors on the northern wall. A passageway runs along the western wall of the lobby, connecting the northern four bays to the Great Hall to the west. The building's original owners had decided against putting "miscellaneous minor business adventures" in the lobby, such as newsstands, shoe-shine stands, and cigar shops.
The Great Hall, extending from east to west, was described as "the largest of its kind" within the United States when completed, and was compared to the waiting rooms of railroad terminals. It includes three separate vaults. The central vault is tall with a diameter of . There are large arched windows or "luminary squares" at the ends of its diagonal axes, under which are Ionic columns. Flanking the main dome are two spaces with rectangular rib vaults, which extend the hall to the west and east. There are additional arched openings through the west and east walls of the Great Hall: the former leads to a window facing Greenwich Street, while the latter leads to the lobby. As built, the hall was overlooked by wrought-iron balconies on the east wall, designed by Samuel Yellin. The features are reminiscent of Roman bathhouses and the treatment of the artwork resembles that at the Villa Madama's loggia in Italy.
The north side of the Cunard Building's first floor contained a banking area, which had a private elevator to the fourth floor and a basement-level bank vault. This was initially occupied by a branch of the Mechanics and Metals National Bank.
The first floor contains numerous elaborate works of art. The lobby ceiling was painted by Ezra Winter and sculpted by Carl Jennewein, and contains decorations of marine animals and children. The lobby's end bays also contain bas-reliefs carved by Jennewein. Wrought-iron screens topped by lunette grilles, designed by Yellin, separate the passageway from both the lobby to the east and the Great Hall to the west. The ceiling of the Great Hall contains maritime-themed frescoes, which Winter painted using the fresco-secco method, which depicted maritime activity. Barry Faulkner painted murals of maps into the walls of the Great Hall's niches. The pendentives of the Great Hall's dome include depictions of oceanic explorers Leif Erikson, Christopher Columbus, Sebastian Cabot, and Francis Drake. On the Great Hall's floor is a marble compass surrounded by a bronze frieze, designed by John Gregory as an "allegory of the sea".
Upper stories.
Each of the office floors consisted of about of space, though the actual rentable space on each floor ranged from . Because of the "H" shaped design, all offices had access to windows.
The upper four floors were later converted for use by the Léman Manhattan Preparatory School, which utilizes a side entrance at 1 Morris Street. The school space contains a cafeteria; 30 classrooms; a library; a 400-seat auditorium; and a athletic complex with a gym, swimming pool, and rock climbing wall.
History.
The site of the Cunard Building was occupied by Dutch houses after the colony of New Amsterdam was founded in the 17th century. In 1846, the site became a hotel and restaurant operated by Joseph and Lorenzo Delmonico. This later became a hotel called the Stevens House, which was popular among shipping and mercantile industry figures. By the 1900s and 1910s, the "Stevens House" name applied to two 5-story buildings at the corner of Broadway and Morris Street. According to a 1910 photograph, the buildings on 13-27 Broadway were largely commercial and included a restaurant, art publishers, the Anchor Line steamship company, hatters, and the Stevens House. Meanwhile, the lots facing Greenwich and Morris Streets contained Manhattan Railway Company's lost-property building and the late vice president Aaron Burr's former house.
The Cunard Line, for whom the Cunard Building was constructed, was one of the preeminent British transatlantic steamship companies of the 19th century. Its New York City office, which opened in 1846, had always been situated in or around Bowling Green. After moving several times, the Cunard Line sought "an adequate and permanent American headquarters" by the 1910s. Benjamin Wistar Morris started planning for a new office building for the Cunard Line by August 1917, before the site had even been purchased. His preliminary plans called for a grandiose ticket lobby for Cunard's ticket offices and a smaller elevator lobby for tenants of the upper floors. Despite subsequent modifications to the draft, the two separate lobbies remained in the final plan. The individual lots comprising the future Cunard Building were then purchased by the Irons & Todd real-estate firm, which then formed the Todd, Irons & Robertson, Inc. construction company. Irons & Todd eventually hoped to turn over the land to the Twenty-Five Broadway Corporation, a subsidiary headed by an official for the Cunard Line.
Construction.
Plans for the Cunard Building were announced in February 1918. At the time, the building was supposed to be 26 stories and cost $10–15 million. One "New York Times" writer lamented that the plans would involve the destruction of the Stevens House, described as "the last quaint landmark standing as an interesting connecting link between" historic New York City and the "owering structures of commercial industry." of the modern city Due to World War I, further planning was delayed until June 1919 when Morris was authorized to create "working drawings, specifications and contracts". The demolition of the Stevens House began in July 1919, at which point the Cunard Building's final plans were publicized, showing that it was to comprise only 21 stories. Several details were revised in the final plans; for instance, a colonnade on the Broadway facade was replaced with arches. The New York City Department of Buildings received the blueprints for the Cunard Building in August 1919 and approved the project the next January, allowing construction to begin right afterward.
Construction was hindered by the presence of subway lines directly underneath the building site, as well as the irregular plot shape and "unknowable" costs. During construction, the underground BMT Broadway Line was carried on a concrete bed held by quicksand above the bottom of the Cunard Building's excavation site, in order to dampen the noise. The presence of the subways, combined with the fact that the Cunard site had been assembled from numerous separate plots, made construction more difficult. In one construction incident in February 1920, rock blasts from the building's excavation resulted in several subway passengers being injured. The designs of the interior artworks were devised off-site and then transferred to a studio within the Cunard Building. The paintings were then installed within the building in four months; the artists used scaffolds to paint the ceilings while the foundations were still being built beneath them.
The Cunard Building opened in May 1921 at a total cost of $15 million. Despite increasing material costs at the end of World War I, the project had been completed on time, within 3% of its original budget. The Cunard Building was one of several structures built on the lower section of Broadway in the early 20th century that would be affiliated with the maritime trade.
Cunard Line use.
At opening, the Great Hall was the home of Cunard and Anchor Lines, which occupied the Great Hall, lowest three stories, basement, and top floors. The remaining floors housed numerous other tenants, including Atlas Portland Cement Company, Anaconda Copper, Merchant Shipbuilding Corporation, Consolidated Steel Corporation, International Motor Truck Company, and Atlantic, Gulf & West Indies Steamship Lines. A branch of the Mechanics and Metals National Bank was located at the first floor, within the retail space on the northeast corner. Even before the Cunard Building's official opening, it was almost fully leased, with only remaining unused by April 1921. Factors in the Cunard Building's near-complete occupancy included relatively low rents, the inclusion of 21-year leases, the timely completion of the project, and a shortage of available office space in the Financial District. In later years, other industries moved into the Cunard Building as well, such as attorneys, railroad and steamship companies, shipbuilding companies, brokers, engineers, and raw materials companies. These included the New York Central Railroad, which moved into the building in 1946.
To pay for the building's mortgage, its owners were given a loan of $8 million in 1930, and another $2.82 million in 1944. In subsequent years, the assessed taxes for the Cunard Building was reduced multiple times. The New York Supreme Court gave the building's owners tax reprieves in 1946, 1948, and 1950. In 1955, the owners completed a $3 million project to add air conditioning to the Cunard Building, one of the largest such retrofits in an existing structure in the city. Ashforth, Todd & Company purchased the building in 1962. The Cunard Line continued to operate the ticket hall until 1968, when it moved to 555 Fifth Avenue; the vacant space was then leased by brokerage company Francis I. duPont Co.
Later tenants.
The building was sold again in 1971, this time to the Cementation Company of America, a subsidiary of Trafalgar House Investment Group. Initially, the owners had difficulty finding tenants for the Great Hall due to its vast size. The United States Postal Service leased the Great Hall in 1974, intending to relocate its post office from the nearby Alexander Hamilton U.S. Custom House two years later. By 1977, the USPS had moved into the Great Hall, and Standard & Poor's had signed a 20-year lease for space at the Cunard Building. The building was sold to Zev W. Wolfson for $15 million by 1979. The City College of New York's Center For Worker Education was established on the seventh floor of the Cunard Building in 1981.
In 1995, the exterior and the first floor interior of the Cunard Building, along with several other buildings on Bowling Green, were formally designated as New York City landmarks. In 2007, the building was designated as a contributing property to the Wall Street Historic District, a National Register of Historic Places district.
S&P vacated its spaces at the Cunard Building, as well as at 26 Broadway directly to the east, in 1997 when the company started leasing space at nearby 55 Water Street. The post office closed in 2000. Afterward, the Great Hall went unused again for over a decade. "The New York Times" cited the hall's landmark status as a factor in the difficulty of leasing the space. The doors were locked, barring visitors from entering the Great Hall. During the mid-2000s, the Sports Museum of America considered opening within the Great Hall, but the museum ultimately opened in 2008 at 26 Broadway. In 2014, the Great Hall was leased to Cipriani S.A. for the operation of an event venue.
The upper floors remained in use by multiple tenants, including school and college campuses. In 2002, Deloitte leased three floors of the Cunard Building after its previous offices at the World Trade Center were destroyed in the September 11 attacks. Léman Manhattan Preparatory School moved to the Cunard Building in 2010, occupying the top four floors for its middle and high school campuses. Relay Graduate School of Education, a private graduate school for teachers, moved into the building in 2019.
Critical reception.
Upon its opening, writers praised the Cunard Building's design. "Architectural Forum" magazine published six pieces about the Cunard Building in its July 1921 volume alone. In one such piece, art historian Royal Cortissoz described the external plan as "indeed organic architecture", writing that the "genuine architectural inspiration [sprang] straight from the personality of the designer". "Architecture and Building" called the site "exceedingly well chosen", and the "New-York Tribune" called the Cunard Building "one of the fine structures of the city". Other critics praised the building's manner of construction, and how it had been built above the Broadway subway line.
The interior was similarly regarded. In a piece for "American Architect and Architecture" in 1928, C.H. Blackall described the building as having "a magnificent counting room", and that the domed ceiling had "individuality and a most charmingly successful decorative effect." Henry Hope Reed Jr., in 1964, called the lobby "the finest interior in the city". David Dunlap of "The New York Times" said in 1991 that the Great Hall was "one of New York's most magnificent—and least appreciated—public spaces". The Landmarks Preservation Commission, in its 1995 landmark-designation report, called the hall "among New York's most impressive interiors".

George Edward Pendray

George Edward Pendray (May 19, 1901 – September 15, 1987) was an American public relations counselor, author, foundation executive, and an early advocate of rockets and spaceflight. He was associated with Robert H. Goddard and helped organize the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). He conceived the idea of a "time capsule" sealed container to preserve current everyday items for future historians and implemented his concept at the 1939 New York World's Fair. Pendray co-founded the American Interplanetary Society.
Early life.
Pendray was born in Omaha, Nebraska, to John Hall Pendray and his wife, Louisa Wolfe. He grew up in Niobrara County, Wyoming and attended the University of Wyoming, graduating in 1924. He then went to Columbia University, where he received his Master of Arts degree in 1925. Two years later, he married Leatrice M. Gregory. They had three daughters: Guenever, Elaine, and Lynette.
Middle life.
Pendray became an editor at the "New York Herald-Tribune" after completing his graduate work at Columbia University. He remained at the "Tribune" for seven years. A science fiction enthusiast, he worked as a science editor for "Literary Digest" from 1932 to 1936. He was next hired at Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company as assistant to the president. One of his responsibilities was public relations in advance of the 1939 New York World's Fair. Pendray created what he called a "time capsule", to preserve everyday items in a sealed container for future historians. He also created the word "laundromat" (then a Westinghouse washing machine; now a word for any self-service laundry facility) for Westinghouse.
Career.
Pendray's primary employment was in public relations; however, he always was interested in rocketry. He was an early experimenter with liquid propulsion rockets. Pendray was a contemporary of the rocket expert Robert H. Goddard.
Pendray and his associates worked on the beginnings of rocket development and technology, which led to his co-founding of the American Interplanetary Society (which was renamed the American Rocket Society) in 1934. This organization is now the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), and awards the "G. Edward Pendray Award" in recognition of his achievements.
Later life.
Pendray helped develop the Guggenheim Jet Propulsion Center at the California Institute of Technology and the Guggenheim Laboratories at Princeton University. He also assisted in developing the Guggenheim Institute of Flight Structures at Columbia University. In 1958 he was a consultant to the Select Committee on Astronautics and Space Exploration of the United States House of Representatives. Pendray helped in the establishment of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
Personal life.
Leatrice May Gregory (1905–1971), Pendray's first wife, was born in Colorado City, Texas, and graduated from the University of Wyoming in 1927, where she met Pendray. She was a syndicated newspaper columnist, from 1929 to 1944, and a partner with her husband in a public relations firm, Pendray & Company, from 1945 to 1970. In 1930 she was one of the twelve founders of the American Interplanetary Society and participated in its rocket experiments. The successor of that early organization is the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, which awards a Leatrice Gregory Pendray Scholarship to women undergraduates in science and engineering programs. A daughter, Guenever Lee Knapp (1932–1978), was one of the geologists who tested lunar samples at Princeton University.
Pendray's first wife died of cancer 1971. He married Annice Dean Crema, a widow with two daughters, the following year. She had worked for the public schools of Absecon, New Jersey, as a music supervisor, before retiring. A resident of Jamesburg, New Jersey, Pendray died in Cranbury, New Jersey in 1987 at the age of 86. Surviving were his second wife, two daughters, two step-daughters, a brother, two sisters, ten grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.
Education.
Pendray went to various colleges and universities.
Work.
Pendray sometimes used the pen name "Gawain Edwards"; however, he usually wrote under his own name. He wrote articles and fiction for many magazines. "Amazing Stories" praised Edward's "The Earth Tube" as "vividly and plausibly written," recommending it "to all lovers of scientific fiction".

Future.
Starting in 2019 the "Groenplaats" will be redesigned, both above ground and underground. The premetro station will lose an exit ("Nationalestraat", Karel de Groote-Hogeschool) and the exit 'Groenplaats' will be relocated. The access to the station and the platforms will be improved through elevators for wheelchairs and prams.


Sytner Group

The Sytner Group Ltd is a car dealership company headquartered in Leicester, United Kingdom.
The group holds dealerships located in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and specialises in premium and specialist franchises from Audi to Porsche. The group is wholly owned by the United States-based Penske Automotive Group, a NYSE listed part owned division of Penske Corporation.
History.
The group was formed by Frank Sytner and his brother Alan, the owner of the famous Liverpool-based Cavern Club. The brothers founded their first retail franchise in Nottingham in 1968, selling BMWs.
After Frank finished his racing career, during which he won the 1988 British Touring Car Championship title, the group began a rapid period of expansion by acquisition of BMW franchises in Leicester and Sheffield. From 1995, other marques were added with the acquisition of Mercedes-Benz, Ferrari and Audi franchises in Bristol, Loughborough and Leeds. In 1996 the group opened Land Rover, Jeep and Porsche dealerships in Stockport and Reading. The group floated on the London Stock Exchange in 1997, as the Sytner Group PLC.
In 1998 the group acquired the family-run Thames Ditton-based Land Rover and Jaguar Cars business of Guy Salmon, which then became the name of all Sytner-owned Land Rover and Jaguar franchises. The acquisition of the Ixion Motor Group in August 1999 doubled the number of locations, and brought in the Volvo, Saab and Lexus brands to the group. The 2001 acquisition of the Ron Stratton Group brought the Bentley brand into the group with a Manchester franchise.
On 12 February 2002, Sytner Group was itself acquired by American-based motor retailer United Auto Group (UAG) in a $135 million deal. The group was delisted from the London Stock Exchange, while the majority of the Sytner management team remained unchanged.
The group expanded further into South Wales with the purchase of family owned Mercedes dealerships, together with two from rival Pendragon Group in Bedford and Northampton. In 2004 the group acquired Audi dealerships Aston Green Ltd and Glenvarigill Ltd, moving the group into Scotland.
In 2005 the head office was moved to a new location in Leicester, located just off junction 21 of the M1 Motorway. The purchase of William Jack's PLC expanded the groups franchises to include Honda. In 2006 the group completed the development of a Bentley, Lexus and Lamborghini dealership at Fort Dunlop, Birmingham.
In February 2013, the group reported record revenues of £3Bn, after the purchase major Northern Ireland motor retailer Isaac Agnew.
July 2016 saw the Group acquire a further 11 dealerships, this time from CJ Automotive. Situated across the North-West, the acquisition saw not only a number of new Volkswagen and SEAT dealerships join the group but also the addition of Sytner Group's first SKODA dealership.
In January 2017, Sytner Group became the UK's biggest Dealer Group after acquiring CarShop for £71.8 million. The move saw the Group's estimated turnover for 2017 grow to £5.3 billion.
Sytner Group continued its growth in 2017 with acquisition of Trainer BMW and MINI in Swansea. Celebrating 40 years of business in 2016, all 100 Trainer staff members transferred to Sytner Group within the move. The acquisition saw Sytner Group's total count of BMW and MINI dealerships rise to 17 for each brand.
In January 2018 Sytner acquired the Car People for an estimated £81 million and has created used car supermarket division by merging CarShop and The Car People. The used car division would sell 55,000 vehicles per annum and would generate £500m annual turnover.
Awards.
In 2018, Sytner Group were named by Glassdoor as the 14th best company to work in the UK; not only the highest ranked business in the Automotive Sector, Sytner were the top rated retailer ahead of other large national businesses like Apple and IKEA. The survey is based on direct colleague feedback via the Glassdoor website where Sytner have a 4.4 star overall rating, with 87% saying they would recommend a friend and 100% approving of the Company’s Chief Executive, Darren Edwards.

Stephen Whitney (ship)

Stephen Whitney was a passenger carrying sailing ship which was wrecked on West Calf Island off the southern coast of Ireland on 10 November 1847 with the loss of 92 of the 110 passengers and crew aboard. She was a packet ship in Robert Kermit's Red Star Line. The ship was named after a Kermit investor, New York merchant Stephen Whitney.
The 1,034-ton ship left New York City on 18 October for Liverpool carrying passengers and a cargo which included corn, raw cotton, cheese, resin, and 20 boxes of clocks. On 10 November in thick fog, the captain, C.W. Popham, mistook the Crookhaven lighthouse for the one at the Old Head of Kinsale and the lighthouse on Cape Clear Island was obscured by fog compounding the error in navigation. At around 10 pm, the ship struck the western tip of West Calf Island, completely breaking up within about ten minutes.
The loss of the ship triggered the decision to replace the Cape Clear Island lighthouse with one on Fastnet Rock. This decision was also because the lighthouse on Cape Clear was often shrouded in fog or low level cloud, which made it hard or at time impossible to see.

Marshall Cogan

Marshall S. Cogan (born 1937) is an American investor and entrepreneur and former financier and trader. Cogan was the founder of United Automotive Group, which he built into one of the largest retailers of cars and trucks in the U.S. As a private equity investor, Cogan acquired a number of businesses in the 1970s and 1980s. He was also a partner of Cogan, Berlind, Weill & Levitt an investment banking and brokerage firm that would be instrumental in the consolidation of the financial services industry in the 1970s.
Early life and education.
Born to a Jewish family, Cogan graduated from Harvard College in 1959 and received his MBA from Harvard Business School. Cogan is also an alumnus and benefactor of the Boston Latin School having graduated in 1955.
Career.
Early career.
Cogan started his career at CBS and worked at the investment firm, Orvis & Co., before joining the investment banking and brokerage firm of Carter, Berlind & Weill as an auto sector research analyst in 1964. Cogan was soon a partner in the firm and his name replaced the departing Arthur L. Carter in 1968 as the firm was renamed Cogan, Berlind, Weill & Levitt. Among Cogan's partners at CBWL were Sandy Weill, later chairman and CEO of Citigroup, Arthur Levitt, later the head of the Securities and Exchange Commission and Roger Berlind a noted Broadway producer and long-time member of the board of Lehman Brothers.
In August 1973, Marshall Cogan left the firm after disputes with his fellow partners to focus on leveraged buyouts. Cogan's first deal was the takeover of General Felt Industries (GFI) in 1974 which he completed with fellow investment banker Stephen Swid. Cogan would then merge GFI with Knoll International and use Knoll as a holding company to acquire a series of businesses. Among Cogan's most notable acquisitions were takeover of the Sheller-Globe Corporation and later the purchase of the 21 Club. Cogan was unsuccessful in his high profile bids to acquire the Boston Red Sox, Sotheby's and L.F. Rothschild in the buyout boom of the 1980s.
Foamex and United Auto.
Cogan began building what would become Foamex International in the mid-1980s after the departure of his long-time partner Stephen Swid. Swid would go on to acquire the music publishing division of CBS Records, later known as SBK Records. Meanwhile, Cogan bought Foamex Products, a division of Firestone Tire & Rubber. Over the next few years, Cogan continued to acquire businesses to merge with Foamex, acquiring three regional producers in 1988. Cogan merged General Felt into Foamex and acquired Great Western Foam Co., a major foam producer on the West Coast. In 1993, Cogan created Foamex International bringing together his various businesses and took the company public in December 1993. During the mid-1990s, Foamex grew to become the largest manufacturer and marketer of flexible polyurethane foam and foam products in North America.
In 1990, Cogan founded United Automotive Group, today known as Penske Automotive Group. Under Cogan, United Auto was a leading acquirer, consolidator and operator of automobile and truck dealership franchises. Cogan merged his company with Roger Penske's business in May 1999 after Cogan ran into financial difficulties and the company name was changed from United Automotive to Penske Automotive in 2007.
Bankruptcy of Trace International.
In July 1999, Cogan's holding company, Trace International Holdings filed for bankruptcy protection. Cogan had used Trace International to hold his controlling interests in two publicly listed companies, Foamex International and United Automotive Group. Trace had pledged its stock in the two companies as collateral for certain loans. After declines in the value of Foamex and United Auto Group in 1998 and 1999, Trace became insolvent as the value of its assets fell below the debt it owed. In 2003, Cogan and several directors of Trace would be accused of having drained cash from Trace International. Cogan was found by second circuit court of Delaware not guilty of all charges on June 25, 2005.
Trace was a holding company through which Mr. Cogan held his principal investment assets. It was owned 70% by Mr. Cogan and 30% by three investors who were friends of Mr. Cogan.
In 1999, Trace ran into serious financial difficulties because a major bank withdrew a $1 billion commitment to finance a restructuring of Trace and its holdings due to events, which had nothing to do with Trace or Mr. Cogan that led to a serious disruption in US financing markets. These financial difficulties caused Trace to file in 1999 for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. At that time, Trace’s principal assets were shares of Foamex International and United Auto Group, both of which were publicly traded U.S. corporations, and shares of CHF Industries.
Eventually, a Trustee was appointed for Trace, and he sued Mr. Cogan and the other former directors of Trace. His theory was that Mr. Cogan had treated Trace as a personal holding company (which it was), and had improperly taken money out of Trace in the form of unduly high salary, salaries to his wife and payments to his daughter, loans to Mr. Cogan, his wife and others that had not been repaid and other expenditures for what the Trustee characterized as primarily personal purposes. Significantly, the other shareholders of Trace did not complain. However, the Trustee said that Trace had been in “the zone of insolvency,” (which Mr. Cogan and the other directors vehemently disputed) and that because of that Mr. Cogan and the Trace Board had owed fiduciary duties to Trace’s creditors.
In 2003, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, in a very lengthy opinion, agreed with most of the Trustee’s contentions. For example, it found that Mr. Cogan had received salary over a six year period totaling $39.6 million, which it said was $6.9 million more than executives with similar responsibilities would have received at other companies. The court also rejected claims by Mr. Cogan that he was entitled to substantial offsets against his obligation to repay the loans he had received from Trace.
In 2005, the decision of the District Court was reversed on appeal on the basis that the judge had improperly failed to submit the case to a jury. However, by then, Mr. Cogan had settled the case as to himself.
Putting aside the correctness of the factual determinations made by the District Court, including the hotly disputed question of when Trace had entered the zone of insolvency, in 2007, the Supreme Court of Delaware, the laws of which governed the obligations of the directors of Trace, ruled that the fact that a company may be near insolvency (i.e., in a “zone of insolvency”) does not cause the directors of a Delaware corporation to have obligations to creditors. Therefore, the basic legal premise on which the court found Mr. Cogan and others to be liable to Trace or its trustee (other than with regard to borrowed money, for which Mr. Cogan clearly was liable to Trace) turned out not to exist.
In 2006, Cogan was named to the board of Ener1, a company that manufactures lithium-ion batteries for plug-in hybrid vehicles.
Other affiliations.
Cogan has also served as Chairman and Director of Color Tile, Inc., Knoll International and Sheller-Globe Corporation.


Ardagh railway station

Ardagh was a station which served Ardagh in County Limerick, Ireland.
History.
The station was opened by the Waterford and Limerick and Rathkeale and Newcastle Junction railways, then absorbed into the Great Southern and Western Railway. In 1924 the Railways Act passed by the Oireachtas of the Irish Free State moved the station to the "Great Southern Railway". In 1925 another merger led to management by the Great Southern Railways. Then it was moved to the CIÉ by the Transport Act 1944 from 1 January 1945, on nationalisation. The station closed under this management.
The site today.
The former railway through the station is part of the Southern Trail Ireland.

Handcycle

A handcycle is a type of human-powered land vehicle powered by the arms rather than the legs, as on a bicycle. Most handcycles are tricycle in form, with two coasting rear wheels and one steerable powered front wheel. Despite usually having three wheels, they are also known as "handbikes".
Origin.
Stephan Farffler was a Nuremberg watchmaker of the seventeenth century whose invention of a manumotive carriage in 1655 is widely considered to have been the first self-propelled wheelchair. He is believed to have been either a paraplegic or an amputee. As such, the chair was consistent with the later designs for self-propelled invalid carriages. The three-wheeled device is also believed to have been a precursor to the modern-day tricycle and bicycle.
Description.
Many manufacturers have designed and released hand-powered recumbent trikes, or handcycles. Handcycles are a regular sight at HPV meets and are beginning to be seen on the streets. They commonly follow a delta design with front wheels driven by standard derailleur gearing powered by hand cranks. Brake levers are usually mounted on the handholds which are usually mounted in phase, unlike pedal cranks, which are usually 180° out of phase. This allows the rider to more easily use their torso to help propel the cycle. The entire crank assembly and the front wheel turn together, allowing the rider to steer and crank simultaneously.
Some designs use two front wheels and a single rear wheel, while others use lean-steer designs.
A handcycle is not a wheelchair, handcycle has a crank and gears, while a wheelchair has push-rims directly on the main wheels.
Styles.
Handcycles come in a variety of styles, making them accessible to people with a wide variety of disabilities. There are also hybrids between a handcycle, a recumbent bike and a tricycle.
Fork steer.
Fork steer handcycles represent the majority of handcycles sold. They work well for both low and high-level spinal injuries, and most have adjustable footrests, seat angle, and come with a variety of gearing, wheel and tire configurations depending on intended use: racing, recreation, or touring. Manufacturers of this type of handcycle include Invacare (Top End), Intrepid Equipment, Varna, Schmicking and Sunrise Medical (Quickie).
Lean steer.
Riders turn lean steer handcycles by leaning into the turn. There is a longer learning curve with lean steer handcycles and they are significantly less stable at high speed. The lean steer system feels similar to mono skiing: using your whole body to steer the handcycle. Lean steer handcycles can work well for lower-level injuries; although, some athletes with high-level disability use them as well. Manufacturers of this type of handcycle include Lighting Handcycles and Brike International Ltd. (Freedom Ryder).
Another type of lean steer hand trike has two steering rear wheels and one non-steerable, powered front wheel with handholds offset at 180°, similar to pedal cranks, that can be operated with only one hand, thus making it easy to ride on an up-hill, and it can be ridden in a tighter curve with the automatic rear wheels steering system.
Off road.
The off-road is different from other handcycles in that there are two wheels in front and one behind, and it has a lower gear ratio range. This gives the cycle the ability to tackle steep slopes and permits handcycle mountain biking. The addition of a wider tire with suitable tread makes some mountain biking possible on standard road bikes.
Touring.
Handcycles have also been used for touring, and to better accommodate this interest, some manufacturers incorporate mudguards and pannier cargo racks. As handcycles have evolved they have become progressively lighter, and they have better gearing for long climbs and long distance touring.
Racing.
Racing handcycles tend to be extremely low to the ground to minimize air drag and maximize the lateral acceleration that can be generated in a turn without rolling over to the outside.
Wheelchair conversion.
An attachment, consisting of a steerable front wheel and crank, can convert a wheelchair into a handcycle.

Bandit Big Rig Series

The Bandit Big Rig Series is a motorsport road racing series for semi-tractors which is held in the United States. The competition has the peculiarity that it is run on oval circuits, all of them short-tracks (circuits of less than 1 mile in length). It was created in 2017 to fill a void that existed in American motorsports after the demise of GATR racing.
Competition format.
All the activity of each of the rounds of the championship takes place on the same day, from the early hours of the morning until late at night. On each race day, there are different tests in which all the participants of each round compete. Furthermore, unlike other competitions where points are only scored through the race, points are also awarded in the qualifying session. In this, all the trucks that occupy the first forty positions score.
After this, the Heat Races are held, where only ten trucks score. Then the Shootout are run, a type of race where they run one against one and only the winner of it scores points (one point). After these are the Challenges Races, with twenty trucks in the points area. Finally, the final race is run, with all the trucks, in which the winner of the round is decided and the first thirty-six trucks score.

Titchfield Canal

The Titchfield Canal was used to irrigate meadows in the Meon valley. The so-called canal, earlier known as the "New River", is a two-mile watercourse between the village of Titchfield, Hampshire, and the coast at Titchfield Haven adjacent to the modern nature reserve. Lying above and roughly parallel to the nearby River Meon it is plainly artificial, but its origins and purpose have been warmly debated.
Three suggestions have been made as to why the "canal" was built: (a) as a navigation channel by the 3rd Earl of Southampton, (b) to supply water to water meadows, or (c) both.
That it has been used as a feeder channel for a water meadow system is beyond question. The telltale surface patterns of water meadows can still be made out in places from the path along the Canal, and are even clearer from Google Earth images. Further, the remains of a couple of the sluices through which water was admitted from the Canal to the water meadows can still be seen, and 19th century 1:2500 maps show a dozen more.
What is less clear is when the New River was built and by whom, and whether it was ever used as a navigation channel.
On 24 June 1611 the parish register notes that "the same day Titchfield Haven was shutt out by one Richard Talbotts industrie under gods permisione at the costs of the right honorable the Earle of Southampton". It has been inferred from this that a dike was built across the Meon Estuary, preventing sailing vessels from entering the river and cutting off Titchfield from seaborne trade. There is certainly a dike across the Estuary now, but what in detail was done in 1611 is not known. It has been further inferred that to get around this inferred problem a substitute navigation channel in the form of the New River was built at the same time. No contemporaneous archival evidence has yet come to light to support this hypothesis; what little documentation there is suggests a land reclamation project, for which a total closure of the estuary would not necessarily be required.
There is evidence of further large works being carried out in the Meon Estuary in the 1670s. In a Chancery case starting in 1739 elderly residents testified that boats still sailed up to Titchfield in their lifetimes and only ceased to do so when the heirs of the Earl built a barrier across the river. Although they are imprecise as to date their evidence does bracket the 1670s for the final closure. Also, presentments in the Titchfield Manorial Court in 1676 show that the Lord of the Manor by cutting the New River "hath taken away and doth detain" parts of the copyholds of two tenants, John Cooper and John Landy, implying that at that time the construction of the New River was recent.
What archival evidence has so far come to light, together with the visible evidence on the ground, tends towards the agricultural explanation rather than the navigational one, but a final answer depends on the discovery of further evidence. In the meantime the book referenced below contains a number of papers by different writers discussing the various theories, and numerous source references.
