Devon hedge

A Devon hedge, also known as a Devon hedgebank,earth bankshrubs forming a hedgerow, with trees also being a frequent and noticeable feature.turf or stone.

History

Attention to Devon hedges as a feature worth investigating was raised by Clement Pike in the 1925 volume of the Transactions of the Devonshire Association. Writing about the patchwork of fields visible from Whitchurch Down, near Tavistock on the western fringe of Dartmoor, he noted:

... if you cross the Down and enter one of those fields ... and look about you, you find yourself in a kind of fortress. You are hemmed in by no simple hedge which you could creep through, no mere stone wall which you could vault over, nor by a low earthwork; but you find yourself confronted by a combination of them all. There is the earthwork, but it is faced and built up with solid masonry: granite blocks of all sizes, some huge, some quite small, and topping this construction is the hedge, which in some cases has grown into big trees. Now this suggests questions: What does it mean? Why should the fields in this part of Devon be thus enclosed? Questions easily put; and yet, as far as I am aware, never put before...

A quarter of Devon's hedges are now thought to be over 800 years old.livestock-proof barrier; to provide shelter against the wind for livestock and crops; to control soil erosion and surface runoff; and to act as a habitat, together with uncultivated field-edges, for beneficial insects that prey on crop pests.

The archaeologist Francis Pryor observes:

A visitor to Devon and Cornwall cannot fail to be impressed by the massive hedgebanks that so often confine the road into something approaching a ravine or tunnel. The hedgebanks of Devon are sometimes thicker and more massive than those of Cornwall...

There are about 33,000 miles (53,000 km) of hedge in Devon, more than any other county, though this is not all of Devon hedgebank construction.Combe Martin on the north coast of the county indicates that such areas were once Mediaeval field systems with open cultivated land arranged in strips.


Devon hedge

Some Devon hedges represent ancient boundaries, most likely of early Saxon estates (c. 650–700 A.D.), as where double hedgebanks, either side of a path, follow surviving parish boundaries.

Wildlife

Devon's hedges are a particularly important wildlife habitat. Around 20% of the UK's species-rich hedges occur within Devon.flowering plants, 1500 insects, 65 birds and 20 mammals have been recorded living or feeding in Devon hedges.

Margate Sands railway station

For the current station, see Margate railway station.

Margate Sands railway station served the town of Margate, Kent, England from 1846 to 1926 on the Kent Coast Line.

History

The station and connection line was first proposed in 1841 by the South Eastern Railway (SER), and surveyed by Robert Stephenson.

The station opened on 1 December 1846. The line took a convoluted route to reach Margate, running via Ashford, Canterbury and Ramsgate, and requiring a reversal at the latter. To save costs, the line was single-track beyond Canterbury and the original station building was a simple wooden structure. Shortly after opening, a passing loop was added on the line to alleviate congestion.

The station struggled with competition from rival railways, particularly the London, Chatham and Dover Railway (LCDR), who constructed a line around Thanet to Ramsgate Harbour in 1863.Southern Railway's plan to connect up and amalgamate the separate railway lines around Thanet built by the SER and others. Goods services were withdrawn at the station on 20 December, but the branch line continued to be used as a goods depot until 1976.

Incidents

In August 1864, a train pulling into the station collided with one already at the platform. A carriage was pulled up during the collision and ended up resting on the station roof. One woman was killed in the accident.

Château de Fougères-sur-Bièvre

The Château de Fougères-sur-Bièvre is a castle in the commune of Fougères-sur-Bièvre, in the French department of Loir-et-Cher.

Originally an 11th-century structure, it was entirely rebuilt at the end of the 15th century, with only the large, square keep remaining original. The initial reconstruction retained the defensive aspect of the castle: moat, openings for cannon, parapet walk, etc. During the next century, Renaissance refinements, such as a gallery, mullioned windows and steep-sloped roofs were added.

It has been listed since 1912 as a historic monument by the French Ministry of Culture.

Gold (Neon Hitch song)

"Gold" is a song by British singer Neon Hitch. Featuring American rapper Tyga, it was released on 14 August 2012 as the second single from her unreleased debut album Beg, Borrow & Steal. The song reached number one on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart.

Background and composition

"Gold" was written by Hitch with help from fellow songwriter Claude Kelly as well as producer Benny Blanco and the production team, "The Smeezingtons", the latter two produced the track. "Gold" draws from dance-pop and synthpop genres. In the chorus, the synths fade away as Hitch sings "There's no light in this room / it's alright we got you / you shine like Gold". As the chorus ends, a heavy synth begins and Neon Hitch uses her sing-talk style to continue through the verse. Neon Hitch's style in the chorus was compared to pop singer Britney Spears.

Critical reception

Pop Crush called the single "pure pop bliss", complimenting the catchy lyrics of the song and a better single choice than its predecessor, "Fuck U Betta", because of the more appropriate subject matter.

Music video

Neon uploaded a lyric video on her YouTube account on 16 August 2012.Tyga's schedule. As of 30 December 2012 neither Neon or Tyga have released the video or scheduled a release date for it.

Libres y Lokos

Libres y Lokos is the official animation group of Liga MX side Tigres UANL.

Origins and history

Libres y Lokos is one of the most numerous fan groups in Mexican football.

This fan group was born before the start of Invierno 1998. This was right after the "Tigremania" movement, that was caused by the team's promotion to Liga MX after a brief stint in Ascenso MX, started. This group was started by young fans, influenced by South American Barras Bravas, who wanted to show the passion for their club and support it in a different way than a typical fan. Chants and flags were early characteristics of the group.

The Libres y Lokos started in the "Sol General" part of the Estadio Universitario, which is located in the northern upper part of the stadium. The upper part of the stadium was not protected by any kind of fence or barrier which allowed the group members to move freely throughout the top ring of the stadium. This created some security problems since it meant the Libres y Lokos could confront visiting groups that are usually located in the upper part, opposite of the Libres y Lokos zone. The Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León, which owns the stadium, decided to put barriers in the "Sol General" part of the stadium. Members of the Libres y Lokos group then started to climb and throw down fences. As a consequence, the club moved the group to the bottom corner of the stadium, or 6A Zona Gol Norte, arguing that the aging stadium would not support the constant jumping of the fans. The Libres y Lokos agreed, in exchange of a secure and guaranteed zone for the group. The 6A gate is now reserved for the Libres y Lokos and the tickets provided by Tigres to the group are sold through Libres y Lokos.


Libres y Lokos

The Libres y Lokos have called the attention of local and international media numerous times because of its amazing show of support and fidelity. The group is characterized for always showing up to Tigres away games and selling out the Estadio Universitario in every home game, regardless of the team's result. They are considered the reason why the Estadio Universitario is such a difficult stadium to play in for away teams. The Libres y Lokos are also known for their famous "Invasiones", or invasions, to numerous away stadiums. Most notably the Tigres v. San Luis game of the Clausura 2013 season, where Tigres filled the Alfonso Lastras with 23,000 away fans. Libres y Lokos also took 1,000 fans from Monterrey to Buenos Aires for the match against River Plate in the Copa Libertadores 2015. Numerous clubs have attempted to stop the "invasions". Club America blocked ticket systems in Monterrey and raised prices, Pumas UNAM club board directed local police to turn away buses from Monterrey that were coming into Estado de Mexico, and Atletico San Luis decided to prevent ticket sales to people who originated from Monterrey by asking for identification.

Rivalries

The Libres y Lokos were growing rapidly with the passing of the years, with this problems also arose. The rivalry with La Adiccion, supporter group of local rivals CF Monterrey, was getting incontrollable. These two groups would always fight every time both clubs met. Local media started to criticize these movements, especially the Libres y Lokos. Sinergia Deportiva's, Club Tigres owners, response was to close out the 6A gate area from the rest of the stands by putting up fences around the zone where the group was located. This was also caused by a pitch invasion in the Invierno 2001 final. The group has been banned from the stadium on three occasions due to separate incidents.

Libres y Lokos members participated in a 2007 documentary called "La Horda", or the horde, which explained the meaning behind numerous supporter groups in Mexico and their stories. The group starred in the documentary, where they showed a couple of Libres y Lokos members fighting with Club Pachuca players in a Bolivian airport while both groups were traveling through South America. Both parties exchanged words and punches until airport security intervened.


Libres y Lokos

Libres y Lokos used to have a very strong friendship with Pumas UNAM supporter group La Rebel in which they exchanged shirts and organized events together. This bond ended when members of both groups started to disapprove of the friendship. The rivalry between both groups started when members of La Rebel arrived at the Estadio Universitario chanting against the Libres y Lokos before a match in 2008. This sparked a fight outside the stadium where some members of La Rebel were injured. This was also the last incident recorded in the Estadio Universitario to date.

The group's popularity has also proved to be counterproductive. Many supporter groups around the country have started to envy the group, causing incidents whenever Libres y Lokos visits an away stadium. Events in Veracruz, Torreon, San Luis, and Monterrey have damaged the group's reputation, leading national media to find the Libres y Lokos, and Tigres fans in general, violent and dangerous. Although, many Tigres fans have alleged that these fights have been caused by home fans. Pumas La Rebel and Atlas La 51 have threatened the Libres y Lokos on several occasions.

Symbols

The fans and players do the characteristic signal of the group, which is done by forming two L's with both hands. André-Pierre Gignac, French Tigres striker, made the hand signal while celebrating a goal in a friendly match against Germany in the Stade de France. Many other players have also done the signal in recognition of the group.

Mark

Libres y Lokos is a registered mark that commercializes products. It has an official shop called La Cueva Store.

Kermia euzonata

Kermia euzonata is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Raphitomidae.

Description

The length of the shell varies between 6 mm and 6.5 mm, its diameter between 2.25 mm and 2.5 mm.

The oblong, quite thick shell has a fusiform shape.

The bright white shell is adorned on the upper whorls with two beautiful yellow bands: the first one is lighter, located a little below the suture, the second is darker and wider at the bottom of the whorls, disappearing under the lower suture. In the body whorl, a third band, more extended, is located a little below the top of the aperture, separated from the second by an interval of two decurrent cords. Yellow colors sometimes can be found through intermediate lines or diffuse tones that makes the shell less white. Sometimes also the upper band disappears to show than the lower one.

The slender spire contains counts 7 to 8 whorls. The first two, embryonic, are rounded, smooth and deep yellow. The subsequent whorls are slightly rounded and impressed at both sutures. They contain longitudinal rounded ribs, quite high, leaving between them an interval roughly equal to their diameter in the higher whorls, and joined at the body whorl (where we count 14), towards the beginning of the siphonal canal. Regular, spiral, fairly high cordlets (4 on the penultimate whorl - the original Latin text mistakenly mentioned 5), overcome the costulations by forming small nodules. They form on the shell a deep reticulation whose intervals of the meshes are furrowed very finely, in height, with lines of growth. The base of the shell, rather strongly thickened, after a slight depression of the body whorl below the middle, is surrounded by seven oblique, granular, very strong cords and ends with a very short, inverted, widening siphonal canal. This basal part of the shell is remarkably white, crossing the yellow coloring of the bands that dominate it. The semi-oval aperture is white within. The columella is straight and smooth. The periphery is arched, briefly depressed at the beginning of the siphonal canal, is thickened on the last rib which is usually white. The outer lip is crenellated and the inside is crisscrossed with six strong folds. The rounded subsutural

Château de Groussay

The Château de Groussay's garden front

The Château de Groussay is located in the town of Montfort-l'Amaury, in the Department of Yvelines, west of Paris, in France. The Château was built in 1815 by the duchesse de Charest, a daughter of Louise Elisabeth de Croÿ-Havré, marquise de Tourzel, the governess of the royal enfants de France of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette.

History

The Château was purchased in 1938-39 by the Spanish aesthete Carlos de Beistegui, who enlarged it, with the professional help of Emilio Terry. Cecil Beaton's inspiration for Henry Higgins' library in My Fair Lady was the library at Groussay.

Beistegui created new gardens, inspired by the Anglo-Chinese gardens of the 18th century and by an 18th-century copper tent in the royal gardens of Drottningholm Palace in Sweden. They feature a Chinese pagoda, a labyrinth, a theater of verdure, a Tartar tent, and other follies. The Gardens are classified by the French government as one of the Remarkable Gardens of France.

After Beistegui's death in 1970, the Château passed to his brother, and then his nephew, who sold it in 1999, realizing $26.5 million for the contents alone, many of which had come from another of Carlos de Beistegui's homes, the Palazzo Labia in Venice. In 2012, it was sold again and the owner is Rubis International managed by Bekhzod Akhmedov.

Description of interior

The British MP and diarist Henry Channon stayed at Groussay as a guest of Beistegui in 1946. Channon (who was noted for the lavish elegance of his own town and country houses) described the Château as being plain and old fashioned. With the aim of 19th century restoration Beistegui had replaced modern bathrooms with Victorian style ones, hung bedrooms with Balmoral tartans and installed stag heads. Channon did however acknowledge "the really remarkable library" as being "sumptuous and superb".

The château and park of Groussay appeared in Marc Allégret's last film Le Bal du comte d'Orgel (1970).

Isoparce broui

Isoparce broui is a moth of the family Sphingidae. It is known from Mexico.


Chvaleticeite

Chvaleticeite is a monoclinic hexahydrite manganese magnesium sulfate mineral with formula: (Mn2+, Mg)[SO4]·6(H2O). It occurs in the oxidized zone of manganese silicate deposits with pyrite and rhodochrosite that have undergone regional and contact metamorphism. It is defined as the manganese dominant member of the hexahydrite group.

Chvaleticeite is named after the city Chvaletice, Bohemia, in the Czech Republic. Chvaleticeite and minerals like it have been studied for their hydrogen bonding and incongruent melting properties as they are predicted to form in the relative environments of Mars and other bodies in the solar system.

Structure

The structure in chvaleticeite is made by hydrogen bonding in metallic sulfates. Due to the minute grain size of chvaleticeite, typical single crystal methods could not be used. Through analogy with hexahydrite the Guinier powder diffraction method was used to identify the following structural parameters: space group C 2/c, a = 10.05(2) Å, b = 7.24(2) Å, c = 24.3(1) Å; β = 98.0(2)°, V = 1754 Å3, Z = 8, Dx = 1.84 g·cm−3; a : b : c = 1.3881 : 1 : 3.3564.

Composition


Chvaleticeite

Composition

Chvaleticeite has an empirical formula of (Mn2+, Mg)[SO4]·6(H2O) and is a member of the hexahydrite group with the space group C2/c. Chemical analysis was carried out using classical chemical methods. Sulfate was determined gravimetrically, MnO was determined using titration, MgO was determined by EDTA titration and CaO, Fe2O3, K2O and Na2O using AAS. The H2O was determined by the modified Penfield method. The performed analysis produced the following result: MnO 15.81, MgO 6.41, CaO 0.04, FeO traces, Fe2O3 0.10, Al2O3 traces, K2O 0.005, Na2O 0.011, SO3 31.48, P2O5 traces, H2O+ 0.37, H2O- 45.22, insoluble residue 0.36, sum 99.81 weight percent.

Occurrence

Chvaleticeite was discovered in a sulfate paragenesis in the oxidation zone of the Upper Proterozoic volcanogenic massive sulfide ore deposit of pyrite-manganese ores at Chvaletice. It was found in association with melanterite (it can form by partial dehydration), Mg-jokouite, Mg-ilesite, rozenite, copiapite and gypsum. This paragenesis allows heptahydrates and tetrahydrates to dominate over pentahydrates and hexahydrates. Chvaleticeite is completely soluble in water.

Fastran

Fastran is a computer program for calculating the rate of fatigue crack growth by combining crack growth equations and a simulation of the plasticity at the crack tip.

Fastran models accelerations and retardation and other variable amplitude loading effects in crack growth using a crack closure model. The program uses a strip yield model of the crack tip that was first proposed by D. S. Dugdale to calculate the size of the plastic zone ahead of a crack tip. A series of elastic-perfectly plastic strips (originally 30 strips were used) that model the region both ahead and behind the crack tip is used to keep track of the plasticity produced at the crack tip.stress intensity factor level [{\displaystyle K_{\text{op}}}] at which the crack tip is fully open. The effective stress intensity factor range is then

[{\displaystyle \Delta K_{\text{eff}}=K_{\text{max}}-{\text{max}}(K_{\text{op}},K_{\text{min}})}]

which allows the rate of growth for the loading cycle to be obtained from the crack growth equation. The rate of crack growth is then calculated from

[{\displaystyle {da \over dN}=f(\Delta K_{\text{eff}})}]

History

Fastran was written in the 1980s by James C. Newman while at NASA and is an acronym derived from NASA FATIGUE CRACK GROWTH STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS.

A similar program CORPUS was also developed around the same time by A. U. de Koning.

FASTRAN is written in the Fortran programming language.

Features

Geometry factors

The geometry factor [\beta ] relates the far-field stresses to the region near the crack tip. Many standard geometry factors are supplied in the program. These scaling factors allow the calculation of the stress intensity factor from the applied loading sequence using

[{\displaystyle K=\beta \sigma {\sqrt {\pi a}}}]

where [\sigma ] is the applied far field stress and [a] is the crack length.


Fastran

The loading sequence is given as a file of sequential turning points that represent the loading sequence. This in combination with a load factor is used to supply the far-field stress of the given geometry. The load sequence is converted into a series of individual load cycles by a method known as rainflow on the fly which is a modified form of the standard rainflow-counting algorithm.

The closure model has also been used to explain the increase rate of growth seen with small cracks known as the small crack effect.

Crack growth equations

Fastran has a variety of crack growth equations built in along with piece wise linear equations that can be read from file.

Theory

This model allows the calculation of the stress ratio [R] or mean stress effect that gives rise to the increased rate of crack growth at higher stress ratios.[{\displaystyle R>0.7}]. In addition the model is able to predict retardation due to overloads which increase the plastic material in the wake of the crack. It also explains the acceleration due to underloads where the crack growth rate increases following an underload which compresses the crack faces together and reduced the degree of interference lowering [{\displaystyle K_{\text{op}}}].

The onset of plasticity is given by the flow stress whose value typically lies mid-way between the yield and ultimate stresses. The flow stress scaling parameter [\alpha ] is used to adjust the flow stress to the degree of restraint experienced at the crack tip. This value reflects the stress state at the crack tip and typically lies between a value of [\pi ] for plane stress and [2\pi ] for plane strain. The parameter is also used as an adjustment variable to correct the rate of crack to match test data.

Limitations

Plasticity will be greater in regions of plane stress but Fastran only models the crack as a 2d cross section.

Usage

Fastran has been used in the research community and for maintaining the safe life of aircraft as the C-130 used by the USAF, RAF and RAAF. If forms a component of the crack growth program Nasgro.


History of rail transport in Morocco

Rail transport in Morocco was initially developed during the protectorate. It functioned primarily as a means to mobilize colonial troops and to transport natural resources. Later, a standard-gauge network was built.

First narrow-gauge lines

600 mm ( 1 ft 11+5⁄8 in) and 1,000 mm ( 3 ft 3+3⁄8 in) gauge networks in Morocco

First 600 mm (1 ft 11 5⁄8 in) line

The first short narrow-gauge railway in Morocco was a 600 mm (1 ft 11+5⁄8 in) narrow-gauge line presented to the Sultan of Morocco in 1887 by the Belgian Government to connect his palace with his Jardin l'Agdal de Meknes. With the railway came two coaches and one steam locomotive (Krauss 1744 / 1887 Ct-n2 ) delivered via F. Weidknecht, Paris. This move was done to improve the Belgian trade possibilities with the Sultan with hope to build railways in Morocco.

In 1907, the French Compagnie Marocaine established a 600 mm (1 ft 11+5⁄8 in) line connecting the Port of Casablanca to a quarry in Roches Noires with a Decauville engine, though it was destroyed by tribesmen of the Shawiya.

The first major French-built narrow-gauge railway line in Morocco was completed in 1908 with 500 mm (19+3⁄4 in) minimum-gauge track, which was later converted to 600 mm (1 ft 11+5⁄8 in) narrow-gauge track. More lines utilizing 600 mm (1 ft 11+5⁄8 in) gauge track followed. Beginning in 1912 and ending in 1935, French Morocco had one of the largest 600 mm (1 ft 11+5⁄8 in) gauge networks in Africa with a total length of more than 1700 kilometres.treaty of Algeciras where the representatives of Great Powers agreed not to build any 1,435 mm (4 ft 8+1⁄2 in) standard-gauge railway in Morocco until the standard-gauge Tangier - Fes Railway being completed, the French begun to build military 600 mm (1 ft 11+5⁄8 in) gauge lines in their part of Morocco.


History of rail transport in Morocco

The 948 km Marrakech - Casablanca - Kenitra - Fes - Oujda line became known as Chemins de fer strategiques du Maroc and the branch lines diverting from the line as Chemins de fer de penetration du Maroc. These lines were mostly built - with exception of Guercif - Outat Oulad el Hadj - Midelt, which was started in 1916 and completed in 1920 - during the period of 1921 - 1925.

Railways in former Spanish Morocco

There have been narrow-gauge railways which used meter gauge, 1,000 mm (3 ft 3+3⁄8 in) gauge, and 600 mm (1 ft 11+5⁄8 in) gauge in former Spanish Morocco.

A narrow-gauge railway was also constructed from Tetuan to Ceuta in 1913–1918 by CEC (Compañía Española de Colonización). It was handed over to the state-run FCM (Ferrocarrilles de Marruecos) in 1942 and closed in the aftermath of the Moroccan independence (1956).

Standard-gauge railways

Before the independence of Morocco in 1956 four standard-gauge railways were built by individual companies. In 1963 all four were merged to form the ONCF, Morocco's current national railway operator.

Railways of Morocco

Railways of Morocco (French Compagnie des chemins de fer du Maroc (CFM) ) was established in 1920 and built two railway lines:

  * Casablanca to Kenitra and Sidi Kacem, completed in 1925
  * Casablanca to Marrakech railway, completed in 1936.

Franco-Spanish company of Tanger-Fès

From 1919 the Franco-Spanish company of Tanger-Fès (French: Compagnie Franco-espagnole du Tanger-Fès (TF) ) started construction of the 315 km Tangier - Fes railway, out of which 18 km were in the International zone of Tangier, 93 km in the Spanish zone and 204 km in the French zone. The railway was finished in 1927.

Islands of the Forth

Foghorn on the Isle of May

The Islands of the Forth are a group of small islands located in the Firth of Forth and in the estuary of the River Forth on the east coast of Scotland. Most of the group lie in the open waters of the firth, between the Lothians and Fife, with the majority to the east of the city of Edinburgh. Two islands lie further west in the river estuary.

The islands have a varied geology and history; over the centuries, several have had both ecclesiastical connections and a history of involvement in military occupations. Various lighthouses and other aids to navigation have been erected on the islands and skerries — one of these dates to the 17th century. But only one of the islands still has year-round human inhabitants. The area has diverse bird and sea life. The scientific name for the northern gannet was chosen in recognition of this bird's connection with the Bass Rock.

There are only a few islands off the coast of eastern Scotland, and most of them of any significant size are included in this group.

Geography

Furthest east is the Isle of May, off the coast of Fife south of Crail. To the south in the outer Firth there is a group of islands off East Lothian near North Berwick and Gullane; from east to west they are the Bass Rock (also known simply as "The Bass"Craigleith, Lamb, Fidra and Eyebroughy. A second group lie in the inner Firth of Forth. Inchkeith and Inchcolm are off Kinghorn and Aberdour on the north shore, Inchgarvie lies midway between North and South Queensferry, and Inchmickery and Cramond Island are nearer to Edinburgh on the south shore. Alloa Inch and Tullibody Inch are furthest west in the estuarine waters of the River Forth.

Only one of these islands, Inchcolm, has had a resident population in recent years, although there have been monasteries, hermitages, lighthouses and fortifications on most of them in the past. In the late 19th century the Isle of May had a population of over 20.Innis, the Gaelic word for "island").

Most of Inchkeith is of volcanic origin but there are also sections of sandstone, coal, limestone and shale, the last named containing numerous fossils. There are also several springs on the island.

Natural history

The Firth is an important area for nature conservation and has a range of habitats including extensive mudflats, shingle shorelines and saltmarsh. The last named, which is well developed on Alloa Inch, is typically dominated by saltmarsh rush, sea club-rush, sea aster and common saltmarsh-grass.shelduck, knot, redshank, great crested grebe, teal and goldeneye.seabirds.

The bird was traditionally known locally as the solan goose, and its eggs and meat were considered delicacies. It is estimated that in 1850 almost 2000 birds were harvested from the rock. Other bird species on the rock include guillemot, razorbill, cormorant, puffin, eider duck and numerous gulls.
