Backbone Trail

The Backbone Trail is a long distance trail extending 67.79 miles (109.10 km) across the length of the Santa Monica Mountains in the U.S. state of California. Its western terminus is Point Mugu State Park and its eastern terminus is Will Rogers State Historic Park in Pacific Palisades. The trail is open to hikers throughout its length. Dogs, mountain bicyclists and horseback riders are only allowed on portions of the trail as posted.
History.
Construction on the backbone trail began in the early 1980s, and involved the cooperation of the National Park Service, the California Department of Parks and Recreation, and private parties interested in connecting existing trails within the Santa Monica Mountains NRA into a single trail spanning the length of the park. The range of conditions found on the trail - ranging from flat, wide fire roads to narrow single-track trails - reflects the trail's origin as a series of unconnected paths and backcountry roads, connected to form the Backbone Trail System.
In 2016, the National Park Service completed land acquisitions from former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and fitness pioneer Betty Weider to enable right-of-way for the trail. In May 2016, a new section of the trail was completed on the east side of Yerba Buena Road in support of these acquisitions.
Upon its 2016 opening, the Backbone Trail was designated a National Recreation Trail.
The official opening ceremony for the Backbone Trail was held on Saturday, June 4, 2016 at Will Rogers State Park with a ribbon-cutting ceremony held at 10:00am. Portions of the trail were closed after the Woolsey Fire in 2018. Other trails and several parks were also closed as 88% of the federal parkland within the Santa Monica Mountains burned in the fast moving fire. The Backbone Trail fully reopened in July 2019.
Topography and geography.
As the Backbone Trail passes over the peaks and through the canyons of the Santa Monica Mountains, it climbs and falls in elevation nearly constantly. From its lowest point, the sea-level Ray Miller Trailhead at Point Mugu State Park, to its highest point, Sandstone Peak (which, at , is the highest peak in the Santa Monica Mountains), the trail is more frequently graded than level.
Scenic views of Ventura County are seen from the six-mile loop trail, starting at the trailhead off Yerba Buena road. The Mishe Mokwa Trail in Circle X Ranch follows Carlisle Canyon along Boney Mountain past weathered red volcanic formations. There are views of the sculpted caves and crevices of Echo Cliffs and a forested streamside picnic area by a huge split boulder known as Split Rock. The return route on the Backbone Trail leads to Inspiration Point and culminates at Sandstone Peak, the highest point in the Santa Monica Mountains. Both points overlook the Pacific Ocean, the Channel Islands, and the surrounding mountains.
Parts of the trail lie within the city limits of Los Angeles and Malibu, California; the rest sits in unincorporated areas of Los Angeles County and Ventura County. The following national, state, and privately administered wilderness areas are traversed by the Backbone Trail:
Environment.
Like the surrounding Santa Monica Mountains, the Backbone Trail System belongs to the California chaparral and woodlands and California coastal sage and chaparral ecoregions, and a wide range of flora and fauna can be observed from the trail.
Flora.
For the majority of its length, the Backbone Trail passes through terrain occupied by the ground-hugging bushes and shrubs that characterize the coastal sage scrub and chaparral ecosystems. Relatively few trees line the trail, an important consideration for travellers looking for shade.
Fauna.
More than 450 vertebrate species have been observed within the Santa Monica Mountains NRA, including more than 380 species of birds. Lizards, seven species of which inhabit areas surrounding the trail, are particularly numerous, and can be easily found on or alongside the trail. Southern Pacific rattlesnakes can be numerous in early spring, particularly along Temescal Ridge in the eastern section of the trail. Mountain lions have been observed in the western section near Sandstone Peak trailhead in June 2008. At least eight mountain lions are believed to remain from Pt. Mugu to Topanga State Park. Notable species that can found along the Backbone trail include:
Hiking.
The Backbone Trail follows a well-maintained, single-track path with some dirt roads along the route. The trail is very well designed with climbs and descents occurring on well-graded trails full of switchbacks. The trail can be hiked in either the westbound or eastbound direction. There are no major differences between the two directions. Hiking westbound, you will progress towards more remote territory and can end your hike at the Pacific Ocean, but transportation may be more difficult from the Ray Miller Trailhead. There is no permit required for hiking the BBT.
Camping along the Backbone Trail is restricted to established campgrounds. These include group campsites that can be reserved in advance and walk-in campsites that are available on a first-come, first-served basis. There are still relatively few established campgrounds right on the BBT, and they are not evenly spaced out, posing a logistical challenge for an end-to-end hike. Backpacking the full length of the BBT with reasonable daily mileages may require the use of off-trail camping and lodging options, which are available within a reasonable distance from the trail.


Simonis and Elisabeth stations

Simonis and Elisabeth are two interconnected stations on the Brussels Metro serving line 2 and line 6 on two different levels. Additionally Simonis is a railway station operated by NMBS/SNCB and a tram stop. The station complex is situated at the end of Boulevard Léopold II and is close to the Basilica of the Sacred Heart. "Simonis" was named after Place Eugène Simonis/Eugène Simonisplein, which in turn is named after the Belgian sculptor Eugène Simonis; while the nearby Elisabeth Park, named after Elisabeth of Bavaria, Queen of Belgium, gives "Elisabeth" its name.
"Simonis" metro station opened on 6 October 1982 and is a through station in north-south direction situated in a cutting next to a railway line. It is served as a through station on line 6 and is a terminus of line 2.
"Elisabeth" metro station is orthogonal to and one level below "Simonis" and is a terminal station located at the end of Boulevard Léopold II in east-west direction. It opened on 2 October 1988 and is the terminus for lines 2 and 6.
Between its opening in 1988 and 2013, "Elisabeth" was also known as "Simonis". Until 2009, "Simonis" was a simple interchange station between metro lines 1A and 2. When the Brussels metro loop opened in 2009, the north-western part of metro line 1A was connected to the other end of metro line 2, making line 2 an imperfect circle line (since a true circular train service is not possible, as the tracks at "Simonis/Elisabeth" are not connected). This resulted in the current situation, whereby the station complex is served twice by lines 2 and 6.
To differentiate between the two station parts, the north-south through platforms were given the name "Simonis (Leopold II)", while the east-west terminating platforms were known as "Simonis (Elisabeth)". However, this did not improve the clarity of passenger information and thus, on 3 November 2013, "Simonis (Leopold II)" was reverted to simply "Simonis", while "Simonis (Elisabeth)" became "Elisabeth". The adjacent bus, tram and railway stops have not been renamed, and are all still known as "Simonis".
To the west of the stations, trams 9 and 19 call at underground platforms opened on 23 June 1986 (line 19) and 1 September 2018 (line 9), respectively.
To the east of and parallel to "Simonis" metro station, the National Railway Company of Belgium operates a local commuter station "Simonis" since December 2009. It is served by the Brussels Regional Express Network service S10 between Dendermonde, Brussels, Denderleeuw and Aalst.


Australian Institute of Marine and Power Engineers

The Australian Institute of Marine and Power Engineers (AIMPE) is both an Australian professional association and a trade union. They are registered with the Australian Industrial Relations Commission and are affiliated with the Australian Council of Trade Unions.
The AIMPE represents engineers in coastal shipping, the offshore oil and gas industries, towing and dredging.
They cover, in the maritime industry, employed and unemployed marine engineers, engineers or electricians on ships, people in training to be a marine engineer, officers of AIMPE, (when holding appropriate certification) power plant engineers, and (when holding appropriate certification) Charge Engineers and Assistant Charge Engineers employed in New South Wales by Caltex Refining. AIMPE also cover independent contractors who meet the criteria listed. According to the AIMPE's rules, the maritime industry is an operation on any sea going vessel. It excludes shore based operations in the maritime industry outside of shore based training.
Their membership is extremely expensive for an Australian trade union (>$1500 per annum, compared with $337 for the TWU for example).
The AIMPE is very concerned with the use of flags of convenience by employers as a way of avoiding occupational health and safety conditions and employment conditions.
Even with the demise of the Australian maritime industry, there are now more members registered with the Institute than at any other time. This being due to the offshore industry requiring rigorously trained and certified engineering staff.
Their federal president is Martin Byrne.
History.
The AIMPE official website recognises the conflict of interest it has, that marine engineers have, "endeavoured to find a commonality of interest with their employers" in "a world where capitalist efficiency could lead to excesses against which workers felt it necessary to protect themselves by combining for fair wages and conditions." The AIMPE has historically been divided between a professional organisation supporting the bosses (much like APESMA), while also having the anti-boss "Not for one but for all" mentality of a trade union.
The AIMPE began as a craft union, using a monopoly on skill to bargain with employers. The general increase in the level of skill over the 20th century has broken this skill monopoly.


Mark D. Maughmer

Mark D. Maughmer (born January 18, 1950) is a Professor of Aerospace Engineering in the Department of Aerospace Engineering at The Pennsylvania State University. He is a widely published author known throughout the world as one of the leading aerodynamicists, especially in the areas of airfoil and winglet design and analysis, wing optimization, natural laminar flow aerodynamics, and subsonic, low turbulence wind-tunnel design and operation.
Winglets.
In 1987, Peter Masak called on Maughmer about designing winglets for his sailplane to improve performance. Others had attempted to apply Richard T. Whitcomb's NASA winglets to gliders, and though they did improve climb performance, this did not offset the parasite drag penalty in high speed cruise. Masak was convinced it was possible to overcome this hurdle, and Maughmer was willing to join his quest.
By trial and error, they ultimately developed successful winglet designs for gliding competitions, and at the 1991 World Gliding Championships in Uvalde, Texas, the trophy for the highest speed went to a winglet equipped 15-meter class limited wingspan glider, exceeding the highest speed in the unlimited span Open Class, an exceptional result.
The winglets were originally retrofit to production sailplanes, but now most high-performance gliders are equipped from the factory with winglets, or some other wingtip device. Maughmer has consulted with German sailplane designers on winglets, non-planar wing tips, and other aerodynamic improvements incorporated in several production sailplanes.
Education and academics.
He received his Ph.D. (Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering) from the University of Illinois in 1983, M.S. from Princeton University in 1975 and B.S. from the University of Illinois in 1972. Maughmer received the PSES Outstanding Teaching Award in 1993, the PSES Premier Teaching Award in 2001, and the Alumni Faculty Teaching Fellow Award in 2012. In 2009, Maughmer received the ASEE Fred Merryfield Design Award, a national award for teaching excellence in engineering design. He is active in the AIAA and has served on the Aircraft Design Technical Committee (1987–90). He received the AIAA/ASEE John Leland Atwood Award in 2013, and the AIAA William T. Piper Award in 2014. For the Soaring Society of America, he is chair of configuration and design for the Technical Board, serves on the Board of Directors for the Collegiate Soaring Association, and received the society's Exceptional Service Award in 1991. He has served on the Board of the International Organization for the Science and Technology of Soaring (OSTIV), and is currently the Vice-President of that organization. He is also a glider pilot and a flight instructor with the Penn State Soaring Club.

Interlaken West railway station

Interlaken West is a railway station in the resort town of Interlaken, in the Swiss canton of Bern. It is on the Thunersee line of the BLS AG, and is one of two stations in the town, the other being Interlaken Ost. In addition to trains operated directly by the BLS, the station is also reached by passenger trains of the Swiss Federal Railways and Deutsche Bahn.
The lines through the station are standard gauge and are electrified at 15 kV AC. There are two tracks, narrowing to a single track at either end of the station, and each track is served by a side platform. The station building is situated on the eastern platform.
The station also provides an interchange with the local bus network provided by PostBus Switzerland and the regional bus line to Thun provided by Verkehrsbetriebe STI. Ships of the BLS-owned fleet on Lake Thun serve a quay at Interlaken West, which they access via the long Interlaken ship canal.
History.
Originally known simply as Interlaken, Interlaken West was the first station to be opened in the town, when the Bödelibahn railway reached it from Därligen, on Lake Thun in 1872. Two years later the railway was extended to Bönigen, on Lake Brienz, via Interlaken Zollhaus station.
Over time, Zollhaus station became the more important station, being also served by the Brünig railway and the Bernese Oberland railway. As a result, Interlaken station was renamed Interlaken West, and Interlaken Zollhaus was renamed Interlaken Ost.
Services.
The following services call at Interlaken West; all eastbound/southbound trains terminate in Interlaken Ost.


Novo-Konyushenny Bridge

The Novo-Konyushenny Bridge (, literally "New Stables Bridge") is a bridge across the Griboedov Canal in Saint Petersburg, Russia. It acts as an extension of the Stable Square.
History.
The first wooden bridge was built here in the 1880s to assist the construction of the Church of the Savior on Blood. During construction, the width of the bridge reached 115 meters (for comparison, the widest bridge in Saint Petersburg today, the Blue Bridge is 97.5 meters wide). When the cathedral was completed in 1907, the bridge remained in place and was named "Church of the Resurrection of Christ Bridge". After October Revolution in 1917, it was renamed to "bridge-overlap".
In 1975, the new ferroconcrete bridge was built, and it was named "Grinevsky Bridge", after Ignacy Hryniewiecki - the assassin of Tsar Alexander II of Russia, who threw the bomb into tzar's cart near the location of the modern bridge. In 1998 the bridge was renamed once again to its current name after the nearby Stable Square ("Konyushennaya" Square).

Newgate, Chester

Newgate is an arch bridge carrying the walkway of the city walls over Pepper Street in Chester, Cheshire, England. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building. The bridge was built in 1937–38 to relieve traffic congestion in the city, especially at Chester Cross. This involved making a new breach in the city walls.
The bridge is constructed in red sandstone. It was designed by Sir Walter Tapper and his son, Michael. On each side of the bridge is a tower containing mock loops (unglazed slit windows) and surmounted by hipped roofs. Flights of steps on each side lead up to the towers and to the walkway across the top of the bridge. The structure is decorated with carved shields and Tudor roses. The historian Simon Ward expresses the opinion that "its design conformed to the generally medieval feel of the walls".


Artisan Staff Association

The Artisan Staff Association (ASA) was a trade union representing higher-paid technical railway workers in South Africa.
The union was established in 1924, on the initiative of the National Shop Stewards' Association. It attempted to register with the Government of South Africa in 1926, but was rejected due to opposition from smaller, sectional, unions of technical railway workers. The union avoided strikes, a position popular with many railway workers following the defeat of a major strike in 1914.
Despite its marginalisation, the union survived by collaborating closely with the South African Railways and Harbours Salaried Staff Association, and from 1928 as part of the new Federal Consultative Council of South African Railways and Harbours Staff Associations. It was finally permitted to register in 1930, and survived the depression by arguing that members should be downgraded rather than laid off.
From the 1950s, the Federal Consultative Council was affiliated to the all-white South African Confederation of Labour (SACOL). The ASA resigned from SACOL in 1976, joining the more moderate Trade Union Council of South Africa in 1981. By 1980, it had 22,500 members. Later in the decade, it transferred again, this time to the Federation of South African Labour Unions (FEDSAL). In 1996, it was down to 15,500 members, all of whom were white.
In 1993, the union opened up membership to all technical railway workers, regardless of perceived skill level, and it accordingly changed its name to the Technical Workers' Union (TWU). Following lengthy talks, in 2000 it finally merged with the South African Footplate Staff Association, forming the United Transport and Allied Trade Union.


Lagoncinha Bridge

Lagoncinha Bridge is a medieval bridge crossing the Ave River in Lousado, Vila Nova de Famalicão, in Portugal. The bridge was classified as a National Monument in 1943.
Characteristics.
The bridge features six uneven arches with cutwaters. It is possibly a reconstruction of a pre-existing Roman bridge, with characteristics attributable to the Late Middle Ages and similarities to many other bridges built in Northern Portugal during the XIII century.
The bridge was subject to studies performed by investigators from the University of Porto, at the behest of Direção-Geral dos Edifícios e Monumentos Nacionais.
It was found that the structure was in risk due to heavy traffic. In 2018, the bridge underwent major renovation works that cut traffic for five months.


Cobh railway station

Cobh railway station serves the town of Cobh, County Cork. It is located in a red brick building adjacent to the town's Cobh Heritage Centre.
It is the terminus of the on Cork-Cobh section of the Cork Suburban Rail line. Travel to Glounthaune station to transfer to Midleton.
Description.
The station is staffed part-time and has a single platform. The station is accessible only via a steep ramp.
History.
The station opened 10 March 1862 and was closed for goods traffic on 3 November 1975.
It began life as the terminus of the Cobh (then Queenstown) section of the Cork, Youghal & Queenstown Railway.
The present station occupies only a small part of the old station building. The original station was expanded greatly during the latter part of the 19th century as it served what was then Ireland's largest emigration port which was also an important way-point as the last port between Western Europe and North America. The station was also the main receiving centre for mails for Ireland and Britain from the United States and Canada. Mail would be brought by ship to Cobh, processed and forwarded by mail express trains to Kingstown (now Dún Laoghaire) on the outskirts of Dublin and on to Holyhead. This was faster than conveying by ship directly to Liverpool.
It is famous for being the station where hundreds of survivors of the RMS Lusitania disaster left the town of Cobh after surviving the sinking.
With the development and growth of transatlantic air traffic Cobh lost its importance as a mail and passenger centre. A significant part of the train station remained largely unused until the opening of the Cobh Heritage Centre in the front part of the station in the 1980s. At that time the station was also reduced to a single platform. The freight yard of the station has now become a public carpark while another part of the station has become a covered carpark for Cobh Garda Station.


Lala (Naples Metro)

Lala is an underground metro station that serve Line 6 on the Naples Metro. It was opened on 4 February 2007 as part of the inaugural section of Line 6 between Mergellina and Mostra.
Is located in the Fuorigrotta neighborhood of Naples, and was designed by Uberto Siola. The station was opened along the line, on 11 January 2007 and consists of 2 binary passers-by.
Lala is a station being decorated with works of art Castella, Campigotto and Dago.
The previous station is Mergellina, the next is Augusto.


Bridgetown railway station

Bridgetown railway station or Bridgetown halt (Irish: Baile an Droichid) served the village of Bridgetown, County Wexford, Ireland. It was unstaffed and accessible only via a wicket gate.
History.
The station opened on 1 August 1906 and closed on 18 September 2010. The rail service was replaced by a revised Bus Éireann route 370 from Monday 20 September 2010: Wexford Bus operate a shuttle bus service to Wexford and Kilmore Quay 3 times a day (2 on Wednesday & no Sunday service). A 4th service between Kilmore Quay and the town in each direction avoids the village. In recent years the platform has become a mecca for anti social behaviour by young people living within the village and litter is regular thrown by local households on to the running line. The line has also become a public footpath for locals who walk their dogs along it and school kids. Few people are aware that Iarnród Éireann still maintain the route to an operational standard with several inspection cars plus a similar number of road/rail maintenance moves along the track each year. There's also an annual weedspray train usually hauled by an 071 diesel engine (the only proper full sized train along it each year). Infrequent Bus Éireann route 381 (Blackhall-Wexford:) and 383 (Kilmore Quay-Wexford:) also serve Bridgetown.


Sultan Abdul Jalil Shah Bridge

The Sultan Abdul Jalil Shah Bridge () is one of two bridges that cross the Perak River in Kuala Kangsar, Perak in Malaysia. The other bridge is the Iskandariah Bridge.
The bridge connects the town of Kuala Kangsar with Sayong village, spanning 330 meters across the river. It was officially opened by the late Almarhum Sultan Azlan Shah of Perak in June 2002.

Skatecycle

The Skatecycle, also known as the "Freerider Skatecycle", is the world's first mass-produced hubless, self-propelled skate. Invented and patented by Alon Karpman, the Skatecycle was manufactured by Brooklyn Workshop, Inc. based at that time in Red Hook, Brooklyn. Unlike most traditional skateboards, the user does not need to continuously push off the ground to gain and maintain speed. The Skatecycle marks the first time a hub-less machine has been mass-produced, and it is now part of the permanent collection at the Henry Ford Museum and the Bicycle Museum of America.
Design.
The Skatecycle contains a double-jointed twisting axle connected to two standing platforms surrounded by 9" polyurethane wheels. A hubless wheel is present on both sides of the axle. In order to engage the unit, the rider needs to twist their feet inwards and outwards. The Skatecycle measures 32" x 6.5" x 8.5″ (LWH) in dimension and weights 7 1/4 lbs.

Arizona Trail

The Arizona National Scenic Trail is a National Scenic Trail from Mexico to Utah that traverses the whole north–south length of the U.S. state of Arizona. The trail begins at the Coronado National Memorial near the US–Mexico border and moves north through parts of the Huachuca, Santa Rita, and Rincon Mountains. The trail continues through the Santa Catalina north of Tucson and the Mazatzal Mountains before ascending the Mogollon Rim north of Payson, eventually leading to the higher elevations of Northern Arizona and the San Francisco Peaks. The trail then continues across the Coconino Plateau and in and out of the Grand Canyon. The Arizona Trail terminates near the Arizona–Utah border in the Kaibab Plateau region. The long Arizona Trail was completed on December 16, 2011. The trail is designed as a primitive trail for hiking, equestrians, mountain biking, and even cross country skiing, showcasing the wide variety of mountain ranges and ecosystems of Arizona.
The idea for the trail was originally developed and promoted in 1985 by Dale Shewalter, a Flagstaff, Arizona, teacher. The Arizona Trail was designated as a National Scenic Trail on March 30, 2009 by the Omnibus Public Land Management Act of 2009. It forms part of the shortened version of the Great Western Loop. This version includes the Grand Canyon National Park.
History.
The Arizona Trail was created by interconnecting preexisting trails. In 1994, the Arizona Trail Association incorporated as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization to bring volunteers and the necessary resources to create maps, identify water sources, build and maintain the trail, and help raise funds for the trail.
Hiking the Trail.
Map of the Trail.
The Arizona Trail is divided into 43 passages, and categorized into Southern, Central, and Northern sections.
Trail Finishers.
Trail finishers are individuals who have completed the Arizona Trail. They receive a copper belt buckle (or pin/pendant) in celebration of their accomplishment. This list includes:
Trail Communities.
The “AZT Gateway” provides community information (i.e., lodging, staple stores, access information, urgent care, etc.). There are many scenic communities that have fun areas of interest along the Arizona Trail.
Mountain Biking.
Mountain biking is allowed but segments are off-limits due to wilderness restrictions. Preferred biking routes have been developed to retain a trail experience consistent with National Scenic Trail values.
Animals along the Trail.
Some hikers enjoy the company of their canine companions when hiking the trail. However, due to the rough terrain and poisonous wildlife it is best not to bring them. It is recommended to plan day trips in certain designated areas.
Pack goats are great companions on the trail, and can help lessen the pain of carrying a heavy backpack. They are allowed on some parts of the Arizona Trail, but prohibited on other segments due to the possibility of diseases from domestic goats spreading to sensitive bighorn sheep populations. Pack goats are not allowed anywhere bighorn sheep live. Therefore, it’s not possible to do a thru-hike with pack goats.
Trail Experiences.
As of 2015 fewer than 20 people have ever ridden the trail. There have been those people who rode the trail all at once and others who rode the trail in segments, taking up to six years.
In general, it takes approximately fifty days to hike the trail. The speed record for completing the trail is held by Jeff Garmire who completed the Arizona trail in fifteen days, thirteen hours.
A 21-mile section along the Arizona Trail provides majestic views in the Grand Canyon region, particularly on the Kaibab Plateau. The trail connects the East Rim View and Murray trailheads.
Jason Mark relates his experience hiking the Arizona Trail with his companion. The article offers travel tips, backpacking, and scenic attractions along the Trail.

M-Sola Heliport

M-Sola Heliport is an airport in Latvia. It is situated east of Riga and east of Lielvārde. Not to be confused with Military Lielvarde Air Base, which is hosted by Latvian Air Force.


Haengju Bridge

The Haengju Bridge crosses the Han River in South Korea and connects the city of Goyang and the district of Gangseo-gu. The bridge was first completed in 1978, but the bridge was very narrow and could not handle the increased traffic as the neighboring cities of Ilsan and Bucheon experienced housing booms.
Construction of the second bridge (called the New Haengju Bridge) adjacent to the original began in October 1987. During construction in 1992, the new bridge collapsed. Repairs took three more years, and the bridge opened in 1995.
Construction on a third bridge began in the space between the first and the second in 1996 and finished in December 2000. With the completion of the third bridge, the first bridge was closed. Currently, the second bridge handles southward traffic and the third bridge handles northward traffic.


Salland-Twente tunnel

The Salland-Twente tunnel is a combined road and railway tunnel in the town of Nijverdal in the Dutch province of Overijssel.
The tunnel was part of the "Combiplan" to redirect traffic on the N35 away from the main road in the center of the town. The railway part of the tunnel, part of the Zwolle-Almelo railway, was first used in April 2013, the road part was opened in August 2015.
The total costs of the Combiplan were estimated to be around 330 million euros.


Seend Locks

Seend Locks () are at Seend Cleeve, Wiltshire on the Kennet and Avon Canal, England.
They have a combined rise/fall of 38 ft 4ins (11.68m).
During the 19th century there were several wharves at Seend primarily serving the Seend Iron Works but these have been disused for many years. The five locks at Seend Cleeve are numbered 17 to 21. The Barge Inn is next to Seend Wharf bridge and between locks 18 and 19.
A back pump has been installed to ensure that there is water to fill the locks, the outflow of which is on a road bridge above the top lock.

Services.
Tervajoki is served by all long-distance trains (InterCity and Pendolino) that use the Seinäjoki–Vaasa line; the routes include Helsinki–Vaasa and Seinäjoki–Vaasa. It is the only intermediate station on the line, after the closings of Laihia, Ylistaro and Isokyrö on 20 June 2016. All trains arriving to and departing from the station use track 1.


Dikaia railway station

Dikaia railway station () is a railway station that serves the village of Dikaia, Evros in Eastern Macedonia and Thrace, Greece. Located less than east of the center of Dikaia, the station opened in 1874 by the Chemins de fer Orientaux (now part of OSE). Today TrainOSE operates just four daily regional trains to Alexandroupoli and Ormenio. The station is unstaffed however there are waiting rooms available. It is one of the northernmost operational railway station in Greece, close to both the Bulgarian and Turkish borders.
History.
The station opened in 1874 when the line, built by the Chemins de fer Orientaux, from Istanbul to Vienna opened. The railway reached Dikaia in 1873, when the line from Istanbul to Edirne and Bulgaria was opened. When the railway was built it was all within the Ottoman Empire.
During World War I the railway was an important link as the Ottoman Empire, Bulgaria and Austria-Hungary were all Central Allies. On 14 December 1916 Allied (British or French, it is not clear) aeroplanes bombed the bridge over the river Evros.
Following the defeat of the Ottoman Empire, its remaining imperial possessions were divided. The sections from Alexandroupoli to Svilengrad, except for a short section of about in Turkey serving Edirne Karaagaç station and for between the Greek border and Svilengrad station in Bulgaria come under the control of the French-Hellenic Railway Company, a subsidiary of the Chemins de fer Orientaux, when the French-Hellenic was incorporated in July 1929.
Under the Treaty of Lausanne of 1923, a new border between Greece and Turkey was established at the Evros river, just east of Ftelia railway station, which had the result that the railway from Istanbul to Bulgaria entered Greece at Pythio, then re-entered Turkey at Edirne (Karaağaç railway station), re-entered Greece at Marasia, and finally entered Bulgaria between Ormenio and Svilengrad. This arrangement continued until 1971, when two new lines were opened. In Turkey, the Edirne Cut-off was opened to allow trains from Istanbul to Bulgaria to run through Edirne entirely on Turkish territory, so that trains such as the Orient Express no longer passed through Feres. In Greece, a line was opened to allow trains from Pythio to Bulgaria to stay on Greek territory and avoid Edirne. In 1954 the CFFH was absorbed by the Hellenic State Railways. In 1971, the Hellenic State Railways was reorganised into the OSE taking over responsibilities for most for Greece's rail infrastructure.
In the 1990s, OSE introduced the InterCity service to the Alexandroupoli–Svilengrad line Which reduced travel times across the whole line.
In 2020 it was announced that section of line between Pythio and Ormenio was to be upgraded, at a cost of €1.4 million as part of an ambitious integrated intergovernmental transport plan which will see this, and 39 other transport sector projects be built, with financing from the European Commission with a total of €117 million. The package of measures aims to build or improve transport connections and connectivity across Europe, with a focus on sustainable transport. The project for the Pythian-Ormenio section envisions upgrading the existing line infrastructure and trackbed, doubling of the track as well as the installation of electrification signalling (ETCS Level 1) along the entire stretch, with the aim of improving freight transport with Bulgaria and Turkey.
Facilities.
The station is equipped with waitingrooms.
Services.
, the station is only served by two daily pairs of regional trains Alexandroupoli–Ormenio. There are currently no services to Svilengrad.

Aava Gang

The Aava Gang is a Sri Lankan motorcycle gang, active in the Northern Province of the island. The group is indicated to be around 60 members, between the ages of 18 to 25. The leader of the group is
was nicknamed ‘Aava’ (‘rabbit’ in Sinhalese) is known under the name Aava. 38 members, including the leader, have been informed to the parliament to have been arrested to date.
Since the end of the Civil War, there have been a large increase in drug trade, sexual and gang violence, and robberies in Jaffna. The group emerged after the end of the war, under unknown origins.
The gang took credit for the attack on two police intelligence officers in Chunnakam and left leaflets under the names "Prabaaharan Padai", "Sangiliyan Padai" and "Ellalan Padai" demanding the police to leave the Northern Province as revenge for the death of two Jaffna University students, who were killed in a police shooting on the night of 20 October 2016 in Kokkuvil and the police attempted to cover up as an accident. The sword wielding gang has been suspected to have been engaged in other crimes including robbery and kidnapping.
UNP MP Rajitha Senaratne accused the Rajapaksas of being behind the Aava gang and accused them of creating the gang to create fear among civilians in the Northern Province. However no evidence was provided and the Aava gang had been active for years as a gang of petty criminals and only gained national attention after its attack on police officers. The group is also believed to have been influenced by South Indian films. The Adayaalam Centre for Policy Research calls on government to put an end to the use of the Prevention of Terrorism Act to address gang violence in Jaffna and to release individuals held under the PTA for alleged involvement in the Aava gang.


World View Enterprises

World View Enterprises, Inc., doing business as World View, is a private American near-space exploration and technology company headquartered in Tucson, Arizona, founded with the goal of increasing access to and the utilization of the stratosphere for scientific, commercial, and economic purposes.
World View was founded and incorporated in 2012 by a team of aerospace and life support veterans, including Biosphere 2 crew-members Jane Poynter and Taber MacCallum, Dr. Alan Stern (the principal investigator of the New Horizons mission to Pluto), and former NASA astronaut Mark Kelly. The company designs, manufactures and operates stratospheric balloon flight technology for a variety of customers and applications.
Stratollite and Z-Class vehicle.
The Stratollite is a remotely operated, navigable, un-crewed stratospheric flight vehicle designed and engineered to station-keep over customer-specified areas of interest for long periods of time (days, weeks, and months). The Stratollite uses proprietary altitude control technology to rise and lower in the stratosphere, harnessing the natural currents of varying stratospheric winds to provide point-to-point navigation and loitering. The Stratollite operates at altitudes up to 95,000 ft. (30 km) with a payload capacity of and 250W of continuous power to payloads. The Stratollite is primarily used for applications including remote sensing, communications, and weather.
The Stratollite consists of a high-altitude balloon which lofts up a large solar panel and a payload gondola. The Stratollite also has a steerable parachute for soft return to ground after mission, enabling payload recovery. The main innovation of the Stratollite is its steerability enabling point-to-point navigation and persistent flight over selected area. The Stratollite relies on the natural winds in the atmosphere for its propulsion; it steerability is based on its ability to control its altitude, thus harnessing winds of different directions, enabling the Stratollite to move in the direction it wants to.
World view also offer traditional, uncontrolled high-altitude balloon flights (which just drift freely, without any control of direction of travel, in the winds of the high atmosphere) with their so-called Z-Class flight vehicle. The Z-Class vehicle has much larger payload capability and higher operating altitude compared to the Stratollite. The Z-Class flight vehicle also offers a possibility for payload recovery.
World View has conducted Z-Class flights for NASA's Flight Opportunities Program (FOP), for example on March 29, 2018 when two NASA radiation detection experiments, Automated Radiation Measurements for Aerospace Safety (ARMAS) and a chip-based radiation sensor were flown out of Spaceport Tucson.
Voyager human spaceflight experience.
The Voyager human spaceflight experience is under development with the goal of carrying private individuals to approximately 100,000 ft (30.48 km) above Earth inside a pressurized spacecraft lofted by a helium-filled high-altitude balloon. The flight vehicle will carry six passengers and two crew on an approximately five hour flight (from liftoff to touchdown). The flight will land under a parachute, having released the balloon at an altitude. The flight experience is intended to give passengers a wide-angle and long-duration view of the curvature of the Earth against the blackness of space. The pressurized spacecraft is planned to include a restroom, minibar, and communications capabilities for communicating with family and friends below in real-time. In 2018, tickets were being offered for $75,000 with a $7,500 deposit.
As of December 2019, World View saw the first flights taking place "in few short years". However, a precise date for the first flight was not announced. Technology development and systems testing are on-going, and the company stated that the "most recent major test flight [had taken] place in June of 2014" when a 10% scale model was flown into stratosphere and successfully recovered, demonstrating the targeted flight profile.
In June 2020, the Voyager program had been discontinued and was no longer World View's focus. World View shifted to working with customers on scientific payloads and data collection.
In 2019 World View co-founders Taber MacCallum and Jane Poynter founded and incorporated Space Perspective Inc., a new space tourism company with plans to develop a nine-person "Spaceship Neptune" that would be a manned, balloon-lifted vehicle for stratospheric flight up to .
On 3 May 2021, the following text was in the World View company's website: "Our full, flight services portfolio, including the very unique experience we call Voyager, will continue to be a part of the future planning within World View while we focus our near-term attention on our unmanned, stratospheric data and information services."
Spaceport Tucson.
World View (usually; a stratospheric balloon can be launched basically anywhere on Earth) launches its stratospheric balloons from a facility called Spaceport Tucson, a purpose-built facility for stratospheric ballooning. The spaceport and the headquarters of World View are located in Tucson, Arizona. The spaceport is owned by Pima County (where the spaceport is located) and operated by World View. World View is the anchor tenant of the spaceport with a 20-year lease contract. The spaceport in practice consists of a circular, 200 meter diameter concrete launch pad for stratospheric balloons, and the World View facility located at the edge of said launch pad. Pima County used $15 million to build Spaceport Tucson. County officials approved construction on 19 January 2016. The first launch for the spaceport took place 30 September 2017.
Although branded a spaceport, no actual spaceflight, orbital or suborbital, has taken place, takes place or is planned to take place at Spaceport Tucson. Spaceport Tucson is (and was planned to be) a high-altitude ballooning facility.
History.
During a test flight in June 2014 World View successfully deployed and remotely navigated a parafoil back down to Earth from an altitude of .
An October 2015 test flight brought a 10-percent scale passenger capsule to over altitude; a full-scale test is anticipated to follow.
A September 2016 flight carried a small, uncrewed, scientific payload to an altitude of over on behalf of the Southwest Research Institute through NASA's Flight Opportunities Program.
By January 2016, World View was planning to operate commercial flights from Spaceport Tucson beginning in 2017.
In April 2016, World View announced that, following $7 million in "Series A" financing, it had raised an additional $15 million in "Series B" funding.
In June 2017, World View completed a 17-hour flight featuring a KFC product; though a balloon leak cut it short from the intended four-day duration, it was World View's first flight in which a solar array was "properly pointing at the sun".
In July 2017, World View completed a 27-hour flight.
In October 2017, World View completed a first flight from Tucson, Arizona, staying aloft for five days: the longest duration of any World View flight to date.
On December 19, 2017, a balloon exploded causing tremors in the Tucson area that shook for over half a mile.
In March, 2018, World View announced that it had raised an additional $26.5 million in "Series C" funding.
In August 2018, Matteo Genna joined World View as senior vice president.
In February 2019, Ryan Hartman was named World View CEO.
On June 5, 2019, a 16-day Stratollite Mission Milestone was achieved.
On October 1, 2019, a 32-day Stratollite Mission Milestone was achieved.
On 13 April 2020, Ryan Hartman said in an interview that World View would delay market-entry plans for their products (mainly the Stratollite) and furlough staff because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Highbridge, Scotland

Highbridge is located on the River Spean, downstream from the village of Spean Bridge in the Scottish Highlands. The village takes its name from this bridge.
The bridge was originally built by General Wade in 1736 (at a cost of £1,087) as the crossing of the River Spean on his Inverness to Fort William military road. This bridge was superseded in 1819 by a new bridge further upstream, designed by Thomas Telford. Highbridge was last repaired in 1893, but partially collapsed in 1913, and only the piers now remain. The remains are protected as a category B listed building.
It was the site of the first action of the Jacobite rising of 1745, the Highbridge Skirmish, when a small number of Keppoch MacDonalds fooled a company of troops led by Captain Scott into thinking the bridge was heavily defended. The government troops retreated and were pursued to Loch Oich, where they surrendered.

Japan National Route 8

 is a major highway in the Hokuriku and Kansai regions of central Japan. The highway begins at an intersection with National Routes 7, 17, 49, 113, and 116 in Chūō-ku, Niigata. It travels southwest across central Honshu, connecting the prefecture capitals: Toyama, Kanazawa, Fukui, and Ōtsu. In Kyoto it travels concurrently with National Route 1 toward its endpoint at an intersection with National Routes 9, 24, and 367 in Shimogyō-ku, Kyoto.
History.
The origins of the road that is now National Route 8 can be traced back to the Hokurikudō, a road that was established after the Taika Reform to link Kyoto to the capitals of the region by that went by the same name.
The modern history of the highway saw its establishment by the Cabinet of Japan on 4 December 1952 as First Class National Highway 8 from Niigata to Kyoto. On 1 April 1965 it was re-designated as General National Highway 8. On 7–9 February 2018, heavy snowfall shut down the highway for over 60 hours in Fukui Prefecture before it could be removed.
In popular culture.

San Francisco Bay Trail

The San Francisco Bay Trail is a bicycle and pedestrian trail that when finished will allow continuous travel around the shoreline of San Francisco Bay. As of 2020, of the trail have been completed. When finished, the trail will be over of paved and gravel paths, bike lanes, and sidewalks, linking 47 cities across nine counties and crossing seven toll bridges. It is a project of the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) and the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC), in collaboration with other agencies, private companies, non-profit organizations, and advocacy groups.
The trail is intended to provide recreation for hikers and bicyclists, viewpoints for wildlife, space for environmental education, and corridors for bicycle transportation as well as access to historic, natural and cultural sites, including over 130 parks.
Route.
The Bay Trail is an interconnected trail system that links parks, open spaces, points of interest, and communities on or near the bay shoreline. It will not only encircle the Bay but will also provide access inland to open spaces and preserves, streams, and the Bay Area Ridge Trail, which forms the second of two concentric rings around the bay.
Sections of the Bay Trail exist in all nine Bay Area counties. The longest continuous segments include 26 miles (41 km) primarily on gravel levees between East Palo Alto and San Jose in Santa Clara County; 25 miles (40 km) in San Mateo County between Millbrae and San Carlos; 17 miles (27 km) in central Alameda County from San Leandro to Hayward; and 15 miles (24 km) along the shoreline and on city streets through Richmond in Contra Costa County. The northernmost trail section passes through San Pablo Bay National Wildlife Refuge.
Protected bicycle and pedestrian lanes exist on seven Bay Area toll bridges: Golden Gate Bridge, Carquinez Bridge, Benicia-Martinez Bridge, Dumbarton Bridge, the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge, and the Bay Bridge. In the last case, the path cannot be used to cross the bay, as the western span lacks a bike path. The San Mateo–Hayward Bridge, the longest bridge in California, currently lacks a pedestrian or bike path entirely.
History.
The idea for the Bay Trail was launched in the Fall of 1986, when state Senator Bill Lockyer of Hayward was having lunch with a local editor in a waterfront restaurant. The end-of-session legislative frenzy was over, and Senator Lockyer was in a reflective mood. “Let me try this idea out on you,” he said to his companion. “What if we tried to develop a pedestrian and bicycle path around the bay, with access to the shoreline?” His luncheon partner applauded the idea and urged the senator to pursue it. The outcome was Senate Bill 100. Coauthored by all Bay Area legislators, the bill passed. It defined parameters of the planning process, designated the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) as the lead agency, and provided $300,000 for the preparation of a Bay Trail Plan by July 1, 1989. The Bay Trail Plan, adopted by ABAG, shows a network of trails that meander and loop along the shore, connecting all nine surrounding counties and crossing the region’s toll bridges.
Publications.
San Francisco Bay Shoreline Guide.
The San Francisco Bay Shoreline Guide was revised in 2012. It provides information about the natural and cultural history of San Francisco Bay and includes maps for 325 miles of the shoreline Bay Trail open to the public. Published by University of California Press for the California Coastal Conservancy.
San Francisco Bay Trail Maps.
The San Francisco Bay Trail maps were released in May 2013 and last updated in 2018. The box set of 25 cards and a large fold-out map provide detailed information about the trail and points of interest along its route. Production of the maps was funded in part by the California Coastal Conservancy.
The Bay Trail Plan.
The San Francisco Bay Trail Plan: A Recreational Ring Around San Francisco Bay was published in 1989 by the Association of Bay Area Governments. The plan includes the trail alignment, project goals, policies and implementation strategies for the Bay Trail.


Coffin Cheaters

The Coffin Cheaters are an Australian outlaw motorcycle club that was formed in Perth, Western Australia (WA), in 1970. The Perth-based Coffin Cheaters amalgamated in 1999 with a previously unrelated club in Victoria called Coffin Cheaters, and later "patched over" two Norwegian gangs, Forbidden Few MC and Wizard MC, in 2004 and 2005 respectively. The Coffin Cheaters were the first Australian gang to expand internationally.
An unrelated US club, Coffin Cheaters MC, founded in the early 1960s in southern California has no connection to the Australian club. (The US club is also unusual in not having "prospects", or probationary members and normally allows only blood relatives of existing members to join.)
Four Club Policy and the Mongrel Mob conflict.
In the 1980s Western Australia was home to four outlaw motorcycle clubs, Club Deroes, Gypsy Jokers, Gods Garbage and the Coffin Cheaters. All bar the Gypsy Jokers originated in WA. In 1989 these four gangs combined forces to violently eject the New Zealand-based street gang, the Mongrel Mob which was attempting to establish itself in Perth.
Events escalated over a five-day period where Selwyn Wharepapa, one of the leaders of the Perth Mongrel Mob, was injured in the bombing of the Mongrel Mob's metalwork shop with two kilograms of gelignite and the Mongrel Mob retaliated with attempted explosion at a tattoo shop linked with the Gypsy Jokers.
The following night police raided three homes, arresting seven people, including Wharepapa in possession of firearms, baseball bats and drugs.
Two days later, Wharepapa was shot in the groin in the Perth suburb of Swan View. Gypsy Joker Paul Hugo and Gods Garbage member Ronald Scott were arrested and charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm. It was enough to finally force the Mongrel Mob to leave Perth.


Avoncliff Aqueduct

Avoncliff Aqueduct () carries the Kennet and Avon Canal over the River Avon and the Bath to Westbury railway, at Avoncliff in Wiltshire, England, about west of Bradford-on-Avon. It was built by John Rennie and chief engineer John Thomas, between 1797 and 1801. It is a Grade II* listed structure.
During construction, stone from a local quarry was used which split when affected by frost. This caused buttresses to collapse and parts of the structure to need rebuilding. Eventually Bath stone from Bathampton Down was used to ensure greater stability.
The aqueduct has three arches and is long, with a central elliptical arch of 60 ft (18.3 m) span, and two semicircular side arches each 34 ft (10.4 m) across, all with V-jointed arch stones. The spandrel and wing walls are built in alternate courses of ashlar masonry and rock-faced blocks. The central span sagged soon after it was built and has been repaired many times.
As part of the 20th-century restoration of the canal, the aqueduct was lined with a concrete "cradle" and made watertight in 1980.

Piero Remor

Piero Remor (Porto Venere, Italy, 1896 - Rome, 1964) was an Italian engineer and motorcycle constructor, best known for his work for the Gilera and MV Agusta brands.
MAS boot.
Piero Remor studied at the Sapienza University of Rome, with, among others professor Ugo Bordoni. After graduating, he worked with Bordoni in 1919 on the development of the "Motoscafo Armato Silurante", a MAS-boot (torpedo boat).
GRB-OPRA.
In 1923, together with Carlo Gianini, Remor built a transverse inline four-cylinder engine for a motorcycle. This project caught the attention of Count Luigi Bonmartini who owned the Officine di Precisione Romane Automobilistiche (OPRA) company in Rome. Bonmartini decided to provide financial support by establishing a new company together with Remor and Gianini. This company was initially named "GRB" (Gianini, Remor, Bonmartini). To earn money, however, work also had to be carried out for the aviation industry and it took five years for a prototype of a motorcycle to be built. This was an air cooled four-cylinder with probably a water-cooled cylinder head that was built in a very simple frame. In 1929 the prototype was now called "OPRA" and Piero Taruffi. made a name for himself with Nortons as a motorcycle racer, was hired as a test driver. However, when the OPRA entered its first race, the Grand Prix of Rome, it was driven by a then more famous driver, Umberto Faraglia. The OPRA led the race for a short time, but the engine blew up. Taruffi, disappointed because he had been passed for the ride, won th race with his Norton. Piero Remor left the OPRA company in 1930 after a dispute with Count Bonmartini.
Development of the racing engine.
Meanwhile, Piero Taruffi and Carlo Gianini continued to develop the motorcycle, which in the meantime was called "CNA Rondine", after another company from Bonmartini, Compagnia Nazionale Aeronautica, and the Rondine aeroplane that flew over the 1922 March on Rome. The developments there were again particularly slow, but it was not until 1934 that the motorcycle came back onto the track under the name "Rondine" (swallow). The engine, which was completely revised only by Gianini, was now completely water-cooled and a Roots supercharger. Six copies of the Rondine were built. Taruffi and Amilcare Rossetti rode the machines in the prestigious Grand Prix of Tripoli, where they came first and second. Taruffi drove a fully streamlined version to a record 244.6 km/h. In 1934 Bonmartini sold CNA to the aircraft manufacturer Caproni in Milan. That company had no interest in the Rondine and Piero Taruffi feared that his project, in which he had been involved for eight years, would be lost. That is why he approached Giuseppe Gilera, who was convinced of the advertising aspect of road races for his Gilera brand. Gilera bought the six machines, drawings, rights, spare parts and hired Taruffi as rider, team leader and chief engineer. However, Gilera also saw the weaknesses of the machine and the need to have it developed further before it was used in races.
Officine Meccaniche.
After leaving OPRA, Remor joined the Officine Meccaniche (OM) car factory in Brescia. There he designed the 1500cc four-cylinder engine for the "Typo M". When Fiat took over the OM brand in 1938 and ceased car production in favour of the production of trucks, Piero Remor started looking for other work.
Gilera.
In 1939 Taruffi persuaded Remor to join Gilera to further develop the 500cc Rondine, but Piero Remor began developing a 250cc four-cylinder machine with a supercharger and the rear suspension of the Rondine. Due to the outbreak of the Second World War, all developments for racing came to a halt. In 1946, the FIM prohibited the use of superchargers, forcing Gilera to use the single-cylinder "Saturno Competizione" as the factory racer. It was no match for machines such as the "Moto Guzzi Bicilindrica 500", the "Moto Guzzi Gambalunga", the "Norton Manx" and the "AJS Porcupine". In that year, Gilera commissioned Piero Remor to develop a new racer. Piero Taruffi had left the company to focus on his career as a racing driver. Remor did not start from the 500 cc Rondine, but enlarged his own 1940 250 cc prototype to 500 cc. In 1947, the Gilera 500 4C began to take shape and in 1948 the first tests were carried out by Carlo Bandirola and Massimo Masserini on the Milan-Bergamo motorway. There were major problems with lubrication and a lot of time was needed to resolve them. In 1948, Nello Pagani rode the machine in its first race in Cesena, but retired due to poor handling. Remor was not happy with that, but the fact is that the machine couldn't break points that year. Even winning the Italian championship was not achievable. Masserini led the Assen TT, but fell in the heavy rain. Only the last race of the year, the Grand Prix of Italy, was won by Masserini, mainly because Norton and AJS did not enter. Although it was clear to everyone that the steering behaviour was below par, Remor refused to improve the machine. The fight with Pagani was intense that Remor forbade him to ride on the four-cylinder machine forcing him to use the Saturno. In the 1949 World Championship it became clear that the handling of the Gilera was not good. The first world title went to Les Graham with the AJS Porcupine, a machine that weighed around 140 kg and delivered only 45 bhp, while the Gilera weighed 124 kg and had over 50 hp. After two races, Giuseppe Gilera intervened and Pagani got the four-cylinder for the Assen TT, with which he easily won. With a win at the Grand Prix of Italy, Gilera had only won two races in the first world championship year with a motorcycle that was the best on paper.
At the end of the 1949 season Piero Remor had to leave Gilera because most riders were unable to work with him. The initial difficulties in resolving lubrication problems and his refusal to correct bad steering behaviour or even to acknowledge that it existed were no longer acceptable.
Relationships with riders.
Piero Remor always had a difficult relationship with his riders, because they blamed each other when results were disappointing:
MV Agusta.
Count Domenico Agusta was determined to make MV Agusta one of the leading motorcycle marques. In 1950 Augusta hired Pietro Remor to build two GP machines: a four-cylinder 500 cc and a DOHC 125 cc. MV Agusta was still racing in the 125 cc class with a two-stroke engine, which was not competitive with the four-strokes of Mondial and Morini. For MV Agusta, the 125cc Bialbero became the first racing engine that was not derived from a production model. On his departure from Gilera, Remor took the blueprints of the 500/4 engine with him. These provided the basis for MV Agusta's new 500cc four-cylinder machine, the MV Agusta 500 4C. From drawing board to test track it only took 15 weeks, but that was not surprising because the engine was almost identical to the Gilera 500 4C. MV Agusta and Gilera thus competed in the 1950 Championship with almost the same motorcycles, something that Gilera were not happy with. When driver Arciso Artesiani also left for MV Agusta, they even spoke of "betrayal". However, Artesiani did not have much choice. He was an MV Agusta dealer in Bologna and received a generous salary of 800,000 lire and a motorcycle. The MV Agusta 500 4C was presented during the trade fair at Milan in 1950. The main difference with the Gilera 500 4C was the shaft drive of the MV. at the front was a chrome-molybdenum Girder fork and in the back was a double swinging arm with torsion springs and friction dampers. The engine block was also not exactly the same as that of the Gilera: with the MV Agusta the cylinder heads could be removed whereas on the Gilera they were cast in one piece with the cylinder block. On 1 May 1950, engineer Arturo Magni also came to MV Agusta and became responsible for the further development of the racing engine. Magni had previously worked with Remor at Gilera.
Motom.
After leaving MV Agusta at the end of 1953, Piero Remor worked at Motom, who maufatured mopeds and light motorcycles, from 1954 to 1957. Whilst at Motom, he developed the small Motom 98T. He later became a consultant and died in Rome in 1964.

Johannes Scherr

Johannes Scherr (3 October 1817 – 21 November 1886), was a German-born novelist and literary critic most of whose working life was spent in Switzerland.
Biography.
Scherr was born in Hohenrechberg (today part of Schwäbisch Gmünd), Württemberg. After studying philosophy and history at the University of Tübingen (1837-1840), he became master in a school conducted by his brother Thomas in Winterthur. In 1843 he moved to Stuttgart, and, entering the political arena with a pamphlet "Württemberg im Jahr 1843", was elected in 1848 a member of the Württemberg House of Deputies; became leader of the democratic party in south Germany and, in consequence of his agitation for parliamentary reform in 1849, was obliged, to take refuge in Switzerland to avoid arrest. Condemned "in contumaciam" to fifteen years hard labor, he established himself in Zürich as "Privatdozent" in 1850, but moved in 1852 to Winterthur. In 1860 he was appointed professor of history and Helvetian literature at the Polytechnicum in Zürich, in which city he died.
Work.
Scherr was a voluminous writer in the field of historical investigation into the civilization, literature, and manners and customs of his country. His works, characterized by their caustic wit and many peculiarities in point of diction, have largely a political bias, but are characterized by clearness of exposition and careful research. Noteworthy among his books are the following:
Scherr also wrote the humorous "Sommertagebuch des weiland Dr Gastrosophiae, Jeremia Sauerampfer" (1873); as a novelist he published the historical novels, "Schiller" (1856), and "Michel, Geschichte eines Deutschen unserer Zeit" (1858) which have passed through several editions.
With the exception of some of his stories ("Novellenbuch", 10 vols 1873–1877) Scherr's works have not appeared in a collected edition.
Family.
In 1845, Scherr married the Swiss writer Maria Susanna Kübler who is remembered for her early cookbooks and household guides.

Hellmuth Walter

Hellmuth Walter (26 August 1900 – 16 December 1980) was a German engineer who pioneered research into rocket engines and gas turbines. His most noteworthy contributions were rocket motors for the Messerschmitt Me 163 and Bachem Ba 349 interceptor aircraft, so-called "Starthilfe" jettisonable rocket propulsion units used for a variety of Luftwaffe aircraft during World War II, and a revolutionary new propulsion system for submarines known as air-independent propulsion (AIP).
Early life.
Walter began training as a machinist in 1917 in Hamburg and in 1921 commenced studies in mechanical engineering at the Technical University of Berlin. He left before completing these studies, however, in order to take up a position at the Stettiner Maschinenbau AG Vulcan, a major shipyard. Walter's experience with marine engines here led him to become interested in overcoming some of the limitations of the internal combustion engine. He reasoned that an engine powered by a fuel source already rich with oxygen would not require an external supply of oxygen (from the atmosphere or from tanks). This would have obvious advantages for powering submarines and torpedoes.
Research suggested that hydrogen peroxide was a suitable monopropellant fuel—in the presence of a suitable catalyst it would break down into oxygen and steam at high temperature. The heat of the reaction would cause the oxygen and steam to expand, and this could be used as a source of pressure. Walter also realised that another fuel could be injected into this hot mixture of gases to provide combustion and therefore more power. He patented this idea in 1925.
Entrepreneur.
After working for some time at the Germaniawerft shipyard in Kiel, Walter branched out on his own in 1934 to form his own company, Hellmuth Walter Kommanditgesellschaft ("HWK", or "Walter-Werke"), to further research and development of his ideas. That same year, he made a proposal to the "Oberkommando der Kriegsmarine" (OKM – Naval High Command) suggesting that a submarine powered by one of these engines would have considerable speed advantages over the conventional combination of diesel engine(s) for surface running and electric motor(s) while submerged. The proposal was met with much scepticism, but Walter persisted, and in 1937 showed his plans to Karl Dönitz, who was able to assist in obtaining a contract to produce a prototype. Construction started in 1939 on a small research submarine designated the V-80. When it was launched in 1940, the submarine demonstrated a top speed of 23 knots submerged, twice that of any submarine in the world at the time. Despite these spectacular results, problems with the production, supply, and safe handling of hydrogen peroxide prevented wide-scale implementation of Walter's revolutionary engine. In the end, only a handful of German Type XVII submarines were built using this engine, and none saw combat.
Rocket engines.
At the same time that Walter was developing submarine engines, he was also applying his ideas to rocketry. The high-pressure gas mixture created by the rapid decomposition of hydrogen peroxide could not only be used in a turbine, but if simply directed out of a nozzle, created considerable thrust. Wernher von Braun's rocketry team working at Peenemünde expressed interest in Walter's ideas, and in 1936 began a programme of installing Walter rockets into aircraft. The experimental results obtained by von Braun created interest among Germany's aircraft manufacturers, including Heinkel and Messerschmitt, and in 1939, the Heinkel He 176 became the first aircraft to fly on liquid-fuelled rocket power alone. This type of engine went on to become the cornerstone of the Messerschmitt Me 163 rocket-powered fighter, when married to Alexander Lippisch's revolutionary airframe design. Throughout the course of World War II, Walter's aircraft engines became increasingly powerful and refined. The original design of simply decomposing hydrogen peroxide was soon changed to its use as an oxidizer (much like dinitrogen tetroxide would be used later) when combined with a hydrazine/methanol true rocket fuel designated C-Stoff, into the hot, high-pressure gases, and in later, never-deployed developments, a second, 400 kg (880 lb) thrust "cruising" combustion chamber, nicknamed a "Marschofen", was added below the main chamber to allow for more precise control of the engine. Versions of this engine were intended to power a variety of aircraft design proposals and missile projects and was also licence-built in Japan (see HWK 109-509).
Another Walter engine was used to assist heavily laden aircraft to take off (JATO or RATO). When the rockets' fuel had run out, they would separate from the aircraft and return to the ground by parachute for refurbishment and re-use (see Walther HWK 109-500).
In 1945, Walter was awarded the Knight's Cross for his wartime service. Walter was captured by a British Army unit named T-Force following a 60-mile advance behind German lines to prevent his research falling into the hands of the advancing Russians. His factory was then investigated by 30 Assault Unit, a unit of Royal Marines which had been established by "James Bond" author Ian Fleming.
Post-war career.
The end of the war saw all of his research materials confiscated by the British military and Walter and his colleagues taken to the UK to work for the Royal Navy. With Walter's co-operation, one of the German submarines using his drive, the U-1407 was raised from where it had been scuttled and re-commissioned as HMS "Meteorite". The Royal Navy constructed two more submarines using AIP engines before abandoning research in this direction in favour of nuclear power.
Allowed to return to Germany in 1948, Walter worked for the Paul Seifert Engine Works. In 1950 he emigrated to the United States and joined the Worthington Pump Corporation of Harrison, New Jersey, eventually becoming vice president of research and development. In 1956 he founded the company Hellmuth Walter GmbH in Kiel, and in 1967 constructed a civilian submarine, STINT, with Walter propulsion.

Gamla bron

Gamla bron () is Umeås oldest remaining bridge over Ume älv and is long.
History.
Before Umeå had a bridge the inhabitants crossed the river using ice roads during the winter and with ferries the other seasons.
During the second Russian occupation of Umeå in the Finnish War the Russians in 1809 built a floating bridge of logs across the river. However, soon thereafter it was destroyed by a spring flood.
To build a bridge over the Ume River was long considered to be too costly, but the governor Gustaf Munthe became interested in the issue when he took office in 1856 and 1858. He gave a mandate to investigate where the bridge would be most appropriate, to create proposals on drawings and calculate what it would cost. The investigation indicated that just outside the city, upstream of the river, the river's base was most favorable to carry the bridge. The expected cost of the bridge would be 65,450 kronor. With the attendant cost, the total cost would be 86,000 kronor.
The bridge was opened in 1863 and for a long time travelers had to pay a fee to use the bridge. After only a decade the original woodwork needed to be changed and in 1894-95 it was replaced with steel and the bridge got the appearance it has today.
The bridge today.
Today the bridge is only opened for pedestrians and bikers. During 2013 flaws were noticed which called for repairs.
