Tourist Standard Open

Tourist Second Open or Tourist Standard Open, abbreviated to TSO, is a type of British Railways coach. The designation "Tourist" was originally as opposed to a normal SO (Second Open) coach. Both types have the same number of seating bays per coach, but the TSO has four seats across, arranged 2+2 either side of a central aisle, while an SO has 3 seats across, arranged 2+1 with an offset aisle. Both offer the same legroom, but there is slightly less width per passenger in a TSO.

Even though the designations would appear to suggest that the SO was the standard type and the TSO a variant, in reality the TSO has been the default design of open coach on British Railways since the dawn of the Mark 1 era, built in large numbers, with comparatively few SO vehicles constructed, mainly for use as Third/Second/Standard class restaurant cars.

In 1987, British Rail changed the title to Tourist Standard Open, when "Second Class" became "Standard Class" across the network. The TSO designation remains in use for Mark 3A and Mark 4 Open Standard carriages.,

The designation TSO is also used for Trailer Standard Open in the system of British Rail coach type codes. Whereas Tourist Standard Open applies only to loco-hauled stock, Trailer Standard Open is used in multiple-unit stock; in this case most have 2+2 seating but some have 3+2.

Mark 1

Interior of a Mark 1 TSO, Avon Valley Railway

The Mark 1 TSO contains eight seating bays, three transverse entrance vestibules, and two toilets arranged either side of a central corridor leading to the gangway at one end. The eight bays are distributed along the coach in two saloons of four bays either side of the almost-central door vestibule (this is slightly offset towards one end by the presence of the toilets at the other end), and the saloon nearest to the toilets is further divided into two saloons of two bays each by a transverse partition. The bay spacing is 6 ft 6 in (1.98 m), this being the standard for Mark 1 Third / Second / Standard class, and identical to the compartment spacing in Mark 1 side corridor stock.


Tourist Standard Open

The first 20 Mark 1 TSOs (3700-19) did not have the centre door vestibule, so the 8 seating bays were spread equally along the saloon length.

No Mark 1 TSOs are still in use with franchised TOCs, however a number are still in active service with railtour and charter operators. They are also found on almost all mainland UK standard gauge heritage/preserved/tourist lines.

Mark 2

Arriva Trains Northern Mark 2F TSO 6035 at Carlisle on 27 August 2004

Interior detail of a Mark 2b TSO

The Mark 2 TSO was a direct development of the Mark 1 version, and the early Mark 2 TSOs (Mark 2 and Mark 2a) had an almost identical layout, including the pair of toilets either side of the gangway at one end and the two identical four-bay saloons separated by a just-off-mid-coach transverse vestibule, with further transverse vestibules at the outer end of each saloon. Unlike those in the Mark 1 TSOs, the Mark 2 saloons were not further subdivided. The Mark 2b design saw the centre vestibule abolished, although the mid-coach divider was retained to still give two saloons of four bays each. The space saved by the abolition of the centre vestibule was used to re-locate the toilets, with one now placed at each end, with the entrance vestibules beyond them. This enabled the fitting of wide wrap-round end doors in place of the traditional narrow ones. The basic layout of the Mark 2 TSO remained unaltered from the 2b to the 2f, although finish, materials, seating, and ventilation arrangements changed with each new build. Full details of the various changes are listed in the Mark 2 Development Table in the main Mark 2 article.

Usage


Tourist Standard Open

Usage

Mark 2 coaches gradually replaced Mark 1s on crack express services, allowing the older vehicles to cascade down to secondary services and thus enable the steady withdrawal of pre-nationalisation designs. Early Mark 2s were then in turn cascaded as later designs took over top-link workings. Air-conditioned Mark 2s generally worked in express trains on the great main lines, with pressure-ventilated Mark 2s used along with Mark 1 coaches on secondary services. Prior to the introduction of the HSTs, the standard Anglo-Scottish express train on the East Coast Main Line would be formed of a Deltic locomotive and eight air-conditioned Mark 2 coaches.

The final mainstay of Mark 2 operation, using Mark 2e and Mark 2f vehicles, were the inter-regional express trains on the West Coast Main Line (hauled by a variety of diesel and electric locomotives), and the Cross Country network, where they were usually hauled by Class 47 locomotives.

At the time of the privatisation of British Rail in the mid-1990s, Mark 2 TSOs were operated in sizable numbers by Anglia Railways, First Great Western, Gatwick Express, Virgin CrossCountry and Virgin Trains West Coast. Other operators including Abellio Greater Anglia, Abellio ScotRail, Arriva Rail North, Arriva Trains Northern, Arriva Trains Wales, First North Western, First ScotRail, Northern Rail, Silverlink, Transport for Wales Rail, Wales & Borders, Wales & West and Wessex Trains hired in Mark 2 TSOs at various points. As at September 2019, they only remained in service with Abellio ScotRail and Transport for Wales Rail.

Excursion trains still use a few members of the once widely operated fleet. Mark 2 coaches have also found favour with some heritage railways, one notable user being the Mid-Norfolk Railway, who have the NRM-owned prototype coach, and the Wensleydale Railway, who operate a small fleet of Mark 2 a/b vehicles.

Mark 3

Cargo-D Mark 3A TSO at Marylebone

No HST carriages are designated TSO. They are classified as TS Trailer Second, reflecting the HST's initial DMU status.

The loco-hauled Mark 3 carriages (officially designated as Mark 3A or 3B) include vehicles classified as TSOs.numbered in the 12000-12172 range.


Tourist Standard Open

Mark 4

GNER Mark 4 TSO at Glasgow Central on 2 December 2006

As with Mark 3A vehicles, Mark 4 Open Standards carry the TSO designation.TSOE Open Standard (End) and TSOD Open Standard (Disabled Access). The TSOE vehicles are specifically designed to be adjacent to the train locomotive and were built with a single corridor connection at one end only. The other end of the coach has no corridor connection, just a small window and fixed taillights, although the structural arrangements to allow a corridor connection to be added if required at a later date are present. Mark 4 TSO vehicles are numbered in the 12200-12232 (TSOE), 12300-12331 (TSOD) and 12400-12538 (TSO) ranges.

North Carolina Highway 294

North Carolina Highway 294 (NC 294) is a primary state highway in the U.S. state of North Carolina. The highway serves to connect communities along the southern banks of the Hiwassee River.

Route description

NC 294 signage at Hiwassee Dam Access Road

NC 294 is a two-lane mountain rural highway that is wholly in the Nantahala National Forest. From its western terminus at the Tennessee state line, it connects the communities of Liberty, Suit and Letitia to its eastern terminus at U.S. Route 64 (US 64) and US 74. It also goes by Fields of the Wood, a bible park, and access to the Hiwassee Dam.

History

Established in 1931 as a new primary routing, NC 294 traveled from NC 28 (today US 64/US 74), through Postell, to the Tennessee state line. In 1932, it was extended east by overlapping with US 64/NC 28 then southwest on new primary routing to the Georgia state line, towards Blue Ridge. In 1934, NC 294 eastern terminus was truncated back to its original and current location; its newer segment renumbered to NC 60. In 1942, NC 294 was rerouted north onto upgraded existing and new construction, bypassing Postell on Candy Mountain Road (SR 1150).

Junction list

The entire route is in Cherokee County.

The Complete Compleat Enchanter

Not to be confused with The Compleat Enchanter.

The Complete Compleat Enchanter is an omnibus collection of five fantasy stories by American authors L. Sprague de Camp and Fletcher Pratt, gathering material previously published in three volumes as The Incomplete Enchanter (1941), The Castle of Iron (1950), and Wall of Serpents (1960), and represents an expansion of the earlier omnibus The Compleat Enchanter, which contained only the material in the first two volumes. The expanded version also differs from the previous omnibus by omitting its afterword, de Camp's essay "Fletcher and I". The omnibus is the first edition of the authors' Harold Shea series to be complete in one volume. It has appeared under three different titles. It was first published in the UK in paperback by Sphere Books in 1988 under the title The Intrepid Enchanter and with a foreword by Catherine Crook de Camp. The first US edition appeared under the title The Complete Compleat Enchanter, and replaces the foreword with a preface by David Drake. That edition was published by Baen Books in 1989, and has been reprinted a number of times since. Orion Books published an edition in the UK under the title The Compleat Enchanter in 2000 as volume 10 of their Fantasy Masterworks series. The stories in the collection were originally published in magazine form in the May 1940, August 1940 and April 1941 issues of Unknown, the June 1953 issue of Beyond Fantasy, and the October 1954 issue of Fantasy.


The Complete Compleat Enchanter

The Harold Shea stories are parallel world tales in which universes where magic works coexist with our own, and in which those based on the mythologies, legends, and literary fantasies of our world and can be reached by aligning one's mind to them by a system of symbolic logic. Psychologist Harold Shea and his colleagues Reed Chalmers, Walter Bayard and Vaclav Polacek (Votsy), travel to several such worlds, joined in the course of their adventures by Belphebe and Florimel of Faerie, who become the wives of Shea and Chalmers, and Pete Brodsky, a policeman who is accidentally swept up into the chaos. The five stories collected in The Complete Compleat Enchanter explore the worlds of Norse mythology in "The Roaring Trumpet", Edmund Spenser's The Faerie Queene in "The Mathematics of Magic", Ludovico Ariosto's Orlando Furioso (with a brief stop in Samuel Taylor Coleridge's Kubla Khan) in "The Castle of Iron", the Kalevala in "The Wall of Serpents", and Irish mythology in "The Green Magician".

Stony Creek (Black Creek tributary)

Stony Creek is a tributary of Black Creek in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, in the United States. It is approximately 3.7 miles (6.0 km) long and flows through Hazle Township and West Hazleton.Land uses in its watershed include forested land and barren land. A reservoir has been constructed in the watershed and at least one bridge has been built over the creek. The creek is considered to be a coldwater fishery and a migratory fishery.

Course

Stony Creek begins at the confluence of Wolffs Run and an unnamed stream near State Route 3024 in Hazle Township. It flows north for nearly a mile, receiving an unnamed tributary and entering a valley. The creek then turns east-northeast for a few miles, remaining in its valley. Eventually it crosses Interstate 81 and receives the tributary Cranberry Creek. At this point, Stony Creek turns north and enters West Hazleton after a short distance. A short distance further downstream, it reaches its confluence with Black Creek.

Tributaries

Stony Creek has two named tributaries: Cranberry Creek and Wolffs Run.

Hydrology

The pH of the waters of Stony Creek is 5.3 and the total concentration of alkalinity is 2 milligrams per liter. The concentration of water hardness in the creek is over 100 milligrams per liter, which is nearly four times more than the concentration of water hardness in any other major headwater tributary of Nescopeck Creek.specific conductance is 27 micro-siemens.

Stony Creek and its tributary Cranberry Creek are considered by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection to be impaired by metals and pH due to acid mine drainage from abandoned coal mines.

Upstream of Interstate 81, the discharge of Stony Creek is 3209.50 gallons per minute. Downstream of Cranberry Creek, the discharge increases to 5898.83 gallons per minute.


Stony Creek (Black Creek tributary)

There are detectable concentrations of metals on Stony Creek upstream of Interstate 81, but not enough to violate water quality standards.total maximum daily load for acidity. The concentrations of aluminum, iron, and manganese there are 0.23, 0.16, and 0.05 milligrams per liter, respectively. The daily loads are 8.9 pounds (4.0 kg), 6.3 pounds (2.9 kg), and 2.0 pounds (0.91 kg) respectively. The concentration of acidity is 7.03 milligrams per liter and the concentration of alkalinity is 0.40 milligrams per liter. The load of acidity is 271.1 pounds (123.0 kg) per day (the maximum allowable load is 12.8 pounds (5.8 kg) per day) and the alkalinity load is 15.2 pounds (6.9 kg) per day.Sulfate concentrations range from 7.3 to 8.4 milligrams per liter.

There are detectable concentrations of metals on Stony Creek upstream of Interstate 81, but not enough to violate water quality standards.aluminum, iron, and manganese there are 0.32, 0.23, and 0.08 milligrams per liter, respectively.

The concentration of acidity is 7.05 milligrams per liter and the concentration of alkalinity is 0.24 milligrams per liter. The load of acidity is 499.3 pounds (226.5 kg) per day (the maximum allowable load is 13.4 pounds (6.1 kg) per day) and the alkalinity load is 17.1 pounds (7.8 kg) per day. Sulfate concentrations range from 7.9 to 10.1 milligrams per liter.

Geography and geology

The elevation near the mouth of Stony Creek is 1,450 feet (440 m) above sea level.1,700 and 1,720 feet (520 and 520 m) above sea level.


Stony Creek (Black Creek tributary)

The Hazleton-Dekalb-Buchanan soil series can be found in the watershed of Stony Creek. This soil is also found in several other nearby portions of the Nescopeck Creek watershed, such as the watershed of Black Creek, Hazleton, and West Hazleton. Rock formations in the watershed of Stony Creek include the Llwellyn Formation and the Mauch Chunk Formation. The latter rock formation is the most prevalent one in the watershed of Nescopeck Creek.

A mine pool basin known as the Stony Creek Basin drains to the Stony Creek Mine Seepage and the Stony Creek Mine Pool Overflow. This mine pool basin affects Stony Creek. This discharge has a flow of 0.3 cubic feet per second at the surface and 4.0 cubic feet per second underground.

Watershed

The watershed of Stony Creek is in the south-central part of the Nescopeck Creek watershed.

There are several miles of local roads and considerably fewer miles of state roads in the watershed of Stony Creek. More than 50 percent of the Nescopeck Creek watershed is on forested land.strip mines occupy a significant portion of the watershed's land.

Stony Creek is entirely within the United States Geological Survey quadrangle of Conyngham.

A reservoir known as the Humboldt Reservoir is in the watershed of Stony Creek. The reservoir provides 20 percent of Hazleton's water supply.

History

Stony Creek was entered into the Geographic Names Information System on August 2, 1979. Its identifier in the Geographic Names Information System is 1188763.

A concrete culvert bridge carrying Interstate 81 over Stony Creek was constructed in 1967. The bridge is 81.8 feet (24.9 m) long.

The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission has a water quality sampling station on Stony Creek.

Biology

Stony Creek is considered to be a Coldwater Fishery, as is its tributary Cranberry Creek.

Omoide ni Naru no?

"思い出になるの？" is the 19th single released by Tamaki Nami. The song marks the first to be released under the moniker "nami".

Music video

Aired version: This version of the music video only shows Nami for 2 seconds. It instead focuses on many different women who sing along to the song, giving off the meaning and showing how a girl is affected by a boyfriend when he cheats on her. Many of the girls in the music video are crying or breaking down.

Nami Version: Much like the previous version, this one shows more shots of Nami singing the song, as well as showing emotions similar to that of the other girls in the PV especially when it appears that she is on the verge of crying. This version of the PV will be released on the DVD with her album STEP.

Single versions

Unlike her previous singles, it comes in only a regular CD edition. Nami's face is hidden on the cover of the single, in order to show the fact that she is hiding her tears, as well as an attempt to market her as a fresh artist.

North Carolina Highway 305

North Carolina Highway 305 (NC 305) is a primary state highway in the U.S. state of North Carolina. NC 305 runs from US 13 north of Windsor to NC 186 in Seaboard. NC 305 is an original state highway and appeared on the 1936 official map of North Carolina from Seaboard to Aulander. 305 has an average of 1663 cars per day on the highway.

Route description

NC 305 begins at an intersection with US 13 north of Windsor, then heads northwesterly toward Burden and Connarlsta. The highway then crosses NC 11/NC 42 near Aulander and continues through downtown Aulander where it crosses the former route's business route. NC 305 then runs into southwestern Hertford County before it meets NC 561 near Northampton County. NC 305 and NC 561 run concurrently until Rich Square where it crosses US 258. Beyond US 258, NC 305 heads northwesterly toward Jackson and runs concurrently with US 158 westward into Jackson before it turns north towards Seaboard. After seven miles (11 km), NC 305 reaches its northern terminus at NC 186 in Seaboard.

History

305 was extended north to its current terminus in Seaboard. 305 was extended south to NC 97 north of Windsor. 13 was extended south, NC 97 was renumbered as part of US 13. When NC 561 was extended, NC 305 was built to run concurrently with NC 561 for six miles (9.7 km). 305 has had the same routing since then.

The Minister of Electricity was a minister in the government of New Zealand with responsibility for the New Zealand Electricity Department.

History

The First Labour Government enacted the Electricity Act 1945 which split the hydro-electric branch of the Works Department would be constituted as a separate organisation. Additionally a Minister-in-Charge was to be made responsible for the administration of both the Act and the newly established State Hydro-electric Department.Second Labour Government passed the Electricity Amendment Act which established a dedicated Electricity portfolio as a full cabinet level role, whose minister was responsible for the administration of the Electricity Act and accountability for the New Zealand Electricity Department (superseding the State Hydro-electric Department). In 1978 the Electricity portfolio was abolished and its responsibilities were transferred to the Minister of Energy after the Third National Government passed the Ministry of Energy Act 1977.

Stony Creek (Sacramento River tributary)

For other uses, see Stony Creek.

Stony Creek is a 73.5-mile (118.3 km)-longSacramento River in Northern California. It drains a watershed of more than 700 square miles (1,800 km2) on the west side of the Sacramento Valley in Glenn, Colusa, Lake and Tehama Counties.

Originating on the eastern slope of the Coast Ranges, Stony Creek flows north through an extensive series of foothill valleys before turning east across the Sacramento Valley to its confluence with the Sacramento River, about 5 miles (8.0 km) west-southwest of Chico. Stony Creek is the second largest tributary to the west side of the Sacramento River; only Cottonwood Creek is larger. Stony Creek is an important source of water for agriculture in the Orland area. The creek has native rainbow trout and historically had significant ocean-going runs of steelhead.

Stony Creek was named for the large amount of rocks and sediments it once washed down from the mountains during floods. Today, most of the sediment is trapped behind Black Butte Dam, a flood-control structure built in 1963.

Course

Stony Creek begins as North, Middle and South Forks in the Mendocino National Forest west of Stonyford. The North Fork, 13.4 miles (21.6 km) long, originates near the border of Lake and Glenn Counties, almost immediately flowing east into Glenn County, before turning south toward the Colusa County line.Snow Mountain, which at 7,050 feet (2,150 m)Colusa and Lake Counties, in the Snow Mountain Wilderness.15.2 miles (24.5 km), before joining with the Middle Fork in Colusa County.13.3-mile (21.4 km) South Fork flows in a northeast direction entirely within Colusa County, joining the Middle Fork less than a quarter-mile (0.4 km) upstream of the North Fork.


The main stem of Stony Creek flows east into Indian Valley, turning north at Stonyford and re-entering Glenn County, before receiving Little Stony Creek from the right.20 miles (32 km) through various parallel north-south ridges and sedimentary valleys of the Coast Range foothills. At Elk Creek it is dammed at Stony Gorge Dam to form Stony Gorge Reservoir.California State Route 162. It receives its largest tributary, Grindstone Creek, from the left at Grindstone Indian Rancheria. Stony Creek then turns sharply northeast, flowing through a wide valley towards Black Butte Lake.

Black Butte Lake, formed by Black Butte Dam in Tehama County, is the largest reservoir on Stony Creek, covering more than 4,000 acres (1,600 ha) in the lower Coast Range foothills. A second tributary called North Fork Stony Creek joins in the reservoir from the west.irrigation.meandering stream.Orland, the largest town in the watershed, it is crossed by Interstate 5.Hamilton City and west of Chico at Sacramento river mile 190 (kilometer 306).

The average unimpaired runoff of Stony Creek was 422,000 acre-feet (0.521 km3) for the period 1921 to 2003, with a maximum of 1,435,000 acre-feet (1.770 km3) in 1983 and a minimum of 17,000 acre-feet (0.021 km3) in 1977.baseflow of less than 50 cubic feet per second (1.4 m3/s).80,000 cubic feet per second (2,300 m3/s) could be expected once every 50 years. Dams now control the winter flow in lower Stony Creek to no more than 15,000 cubic feet per second (420 m3/s), and the creek bed is often dry in the summer due to water diversions.

Watershed

Black Butte Lake is the largest impoundment of Stony Creek and is the boundary between the upper and lower parts of the watershed.


The Stony Creek watershed consists of 777 square miles (2,010 km2)Mediterranean climate, with cool, wet winters and hot, dry summers. The annual precipitation, 90 percent of which falls between November and April, ranges from 32 inches (810 mm) on the valley floor to 60 inches (1,500 mm) in the headwaters.740 square miles (1,900 km2), or 95 percent of the whole.160 square miles (410 km2), followed by Little Stony Creek at 102 square miles (260 km2).

Black Butte Dam is considered the boundary between the upper and lower Stony Creek watersheds.BLM and state lands, while about 96 percent of the lower watershed is privately owned.alluvial fan in the Sacramento Valley which slopes downhill to the east. The alluvial fan extends about 26 miles (42 km) north to south and 14 miles (23 km) east to west, and is made up mostly of fertile, well-drained soils. Beneath the surface is the Stony Creek aquifer, whose primary source of recharge is Stony Creek. The aquifer has an estimated volume of 3 million acre-feet (3.7 km3) and is an important water source for agriculture.

Water quality in upper Stony Creek is impacted by naturally occurring sources of mercury and drainage from abandoned mines, and lower Stony Creek is affected by pesticide runoff and high temperatures.blue-green algae bloom occurring most recently in summer 2017.

Agriculture makes up most of the local economy, with the major crops being almonds, olives, oranges, wheat, and corn, and also dairy operations and pasture.

Geology

Nearly all of Stony Creek's course is in Glenn County, where the landscape is divided into two major terranes, or crustal fragments that have accreted to the North American continent over millions of years.Jurassic and Cretaceous periods (about 200–65 million years old).Franciscan assemblage, consisting mainly of metamorphosed basalts and greywackes, predominate in the Coast Range.Stony Creek Formation, composed mainly of conglomerate, sandstone and shale, is found further east in the foothill transition zone between the Coast Ranges and Sacramento Valley.Great Valley Sequence, and the inactive Stony Creek Fault, which runs parallel to and east of upper Stony Creek, marks the boundary between the two.


The Sacramento Valley terrane to the east is composed of sedimentary rock overlain by thick layers of fluvial sediments, mainly clay, gravel, sand and silt.

Ecology

While the native grasslands and riparian habitats of the Sacramento Valley have been almost entirely replaced by agriculture, the foothill and mountain areas of the Stony Creek watershed have a diversity of plant communities. The lower foothills consist of grassland, valley oak, blue oak and blue oak-foothill pine woodland, and chaparral; higher in elevation, hardwood forests of interior live oak and black oak occur along streams, and Douglas fir, white fir, ponderosa pine, and sugar pine are abundant in the mid-elevation, mixed-conifer forests of the Coast Range.Red fir dominates above elevations of about 6,000 feet (1,800 m), though only a small part of the watershed is that high in elevation.

Upper Stony Creek is home to a variety of native and introduced fish species, including rainbow trout, hardhead, bass, catfish and carp. There are 28 fish species in lower Stony Creek, of which 13 are native.steelhead migrated from the Pacific Ocean, and up the Sacramento River and Stony Creek to spawn. Dams now form an impassable barrier for fish migration to upper Stony Creek; changes in stream flow patterns and gravel mining in the old river bed have adversely affected spawning habitat in lower Stony Creek.

Historically, lower Stony Creek was a braided stream with a wide rocky bed, replenished each year by large volumes of sediment eroded off its watershed. The construction of Black Butte Dam in 1963 cut off 90 percent of sediment to the lower creekgiant reed (arundo) and tamarisk.

The Glenn County Resource Conservation District is undertaking an arundo and tamarisk removal program which includes both manual removal and chemical treatment.U.S. Department of Agriculture has proposed a sediment management plan for the upper watershed which would reduce the amount of sediment flowing into reservoirs by 25 percent.

Human history

The Native American population in what is now Glenn and Colusa Counties was approximately 10,000 before the first Europeans arrived. Most of the Native Americans spoke Wintuan languages, with the Nomlaki being the main people in the Stony Creek area.


The beginning of European settlement was immediately prior to the California Gold Rush. During this time, Stony Creek was also known as the Capay River. The first known non-natives to visit the area were a party traveling from Oregon to Sutter's Fort in 1843.John Sutter sent a force of fifty men to "punish" the natives and with the result that "great numbers of them were killed."John Bidwell explored Stony Creek from a point west of Colusa down to its mouth, for the purposes of locating suitable land grants for settlers.Elk Creek, where a monument has been erected in his honor.

Smerinthus minor, the lesser eyed hawkmoth, is a moth of the family Sphingidae.Rudolf Mell in 1937. It is a montane species found from the Taibai Shan area, western Qinling Mountains in Shaanxi, China eastwards along the Qinling to southern Shanxi and then north to just west of Beijing.

Omoluwabi

The Omoluwabi is a philosophical and cultural concept that's native to the Yoruba people. It's used to describe a person of good character. The omoluabi concept signifies courage, hard work, humility and respect.honor who believes in hard work, respects the rights of others, and gives to the community in deeds and in action. Above all, an omoluwabi is a person of integrity.

The Omoluwabi concept is an adjectival Yoruba phrase, which has the words - "Omo + ti + Olu-iwa + bi" as its components. Literally translated and taken separately, omo means 'child', ti means 'that or which', Olu-iwa meaning the chief or master of Iwa (character), bi means 'born'. When combined, Omoluabi translates as "the child begotten by the chief of iwa. Such a child is thought of as a paragon of excellence in character.

An omoluwabi demonstrates and exhibits the inherent virtue and value of Iwapele. Iwapele is ultimately the basis of moral conduct in Yoruba culture and a core defining attribute of an omoluwabi. The most fundamental of these principles demonstrated by an omoluabi are;

  * Oro Siso (Spoken word, the Yoruba accord great respect for intelligent and expert use of language)
  * Iteriba (Respect)
  * Inu Rere (Good will, Having a good mind towards others)
  * Otito (Truth)
  * Iwa (Character)
  * Igboya (Bravery) personified by an "Akinkanju"
  * Ise (Hardwork)
  * Opolo Pipe (Intelligence)


Omoluwabi

An individual can be termed an omoluabi irrespective of the religion the person adheres to. Consequently, some of the characteristics and traits of an omoluabi are considered virtues in many religions, for example, humility, truth and honesty. Omoluwabi is a variant of Omoluabi broken down into Omo-l-ua-bi. As defined previously, Omo is child. The letter "l" is a link similar to "ti" meaning that or which. The word "ua" means community meeting place, normally at the palace when the Oba presides. The word "bi" means "born". Put together, Omo-l-ua-bi means a child born (nurtured / raised / trained) by the community. The only change being highlighted here is "ua" as a Yoruba word.

Writings

Dust

Owuor's 2014 novel Dust portrays the violent history of Kenya in the second half of the 20th century. Reviewing Dust in The New York Times, Taiye Selasi wrote: "In this dazzling novel you will find the entirety of human experience — tearshed, bloodshed, lust, love — in staggering proportions."Ron Charles of The Washington Post wrote: "Owuor demonstrates extraordinary talent and range in these pages. Her style is alternately impressionistic and harsh, incantatory and propulsive. One moment, she keeps us trapped within the bloodied walls of a torture cell; in the next, her poetic voice soars over sun-baked plains. She can clear the gloom with passages of Dickensian comedy or tender romance, but most of her novel takes places in 'haunted silences.' 'Dust' moves between the lamentation of a single family and the corruption of national politics, swirling around one young man’s death to create a vortex of grief that draws in generations of deceit and Kenya’s tumultuous modern history."
