The Bertrand Road suspension bridge crosses the Waitara River, linking Huirangi, near Lepperton and Tikorangi in north Taranaki, New Zealand. The original bridge was built in 1897, and rebuilt in 1927 (using an adapted form of the original design). The original idea for the bridge was proposed by a Waitara councillor, Levi Sarten, as crossing the river to Tikorangi was proving treacherous, and road access to the area was poor. The bridge was subsequently built across the river in 1897, with a length of 210 feet, a width of 9 feet and at a cost of £695. In the 1920s, the bridge was damaged by flooding, and was dismantled to build another crossing, using wood and steelwork from its predecessor. The second crossing opened in 1927, using a modified version of the original design, which made the bridge stronger and more wind resistant. Over time, the bridge started to age, with height and weight restrictions imposed to extend its life. The bridge was eventually declared unsafe, and was closed to vehicular traffic in 1985. This resulted in a 16 kilometre detour. However, the bridge was still open for foot traffic and recreational use. Many attempts to reopen the bridge were unsuccessful, and the bridge became completely closed to all users in 2004. A trust was set up to reopen the bridge, with a community fundraising scheme. This included a \"buy a plank\" initiative, where a donation saw the donor's name engraved on the bridge. Further funding was received from the TSB Community Trust, and the New Zealand Lottery Environment and Heritage Committee. Using as much of the old bridge design as possible, and after raising $630,000, the bridge was reopened to all traffic in June 2006. The bridge now has a central span of 61 metres and a maximum weight restriction of 4 tonnes.

The Massachusetts General Court (formally styled the General Court of Massachusetts) is the state legislature of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The name \"General Court\" is a hold-over from the earliest days of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, when the colonial assembly, in addition to making laws, sat as a judicial court of appeals. Before the adoption of the state constitution in 1780, it was called the Great and General Court, but the official title was shortened by John Adams, author of the state constitution. It is a bicameral body. The upper house is the Massachusetts Senate which is composed of 40 members. The lower body, the Massachusetts House of Representatives, has 160 members. (Until 1978, it had 240 members) It meets in the Massachusetts State House on Beacon Hill in Boston. The current President of the Senate is Stan Rosenberg, and the Speaker of the House is Robert DeLeo. Democrats hold super-majorities in both chambers. State Senators and Representatives both serve two-year terms.

The Guardian Weekly is a weekly British-based (London) English language newspaper published by the Guardian Media Group and is one of the world's oldest international newspapers. It has readers in 173 countries. It was founded with the aim of spreading progressive British ideas into the United States after the First World War. The first edition of the Manchester Guardian Weekly was printed a week after the signing of the Treaty of Versailles in 1919, and stated its aim as \"presenting what is best and most interesting in the Manchester Guardian, what is most distinctive and independent of time, in a compact weekly form\". It has long also been printed in an airmail edition on light-weight paper, mailed directly to subscribers where it is not distributed by other means, and in modern times there is access to content via the Internet. The Guardian Weekly draws on the editorial resources of The Guardian and also contains articles from The Observer and The Washington Post, and articles translated from France's Le Monde newspaper. The paper is printed in England, Canada, Australia and South Africa. Average worldwide circulation for 2014 was 42,867. The paper's readers include many world statesmen, including the late Nelson Mandela, who subscribed during his time in prison and described the paper as his \"window on the wider world\". George W. Bush was reportedly the first President of the United States since Jimmy Carter not to subscribe to The Guardian Weekly. In September 2006 an issue was banned in Egypt for publishing articles allegedly insulting both Islam and the Prophet Mohammed.

The Ducharme Bridge (French: Pont Ducharme) is a covered bridge with a lattice truss structure, which crosses the Bostonnais River in the center of La Bostonnais, Quebec. The bridge was built in 1946 and it is 41.76 metres (137.0 ft) long. It was classified as a historic monument in 2006, because it was a late example of an elaborated town bridge, a truss developed by the Departement of colonization of Quebec at the turn of the 20th century. It was named after Romulus Ducharme, MLA of Laviolette in 1936-1939 and 1944-1966.

Weywot, officially (50000) Quaoar I Weywot, is the only known moon of the trans-Neptunian object Quaoar. Its discovery by Michael E. Brown was reported in IAUC 8812 on 22 February 2007, based on imagery taken on 14 February 2006. The satellite was found at 0.35 arcsec from Quaoar with an apparent magnitude difference of 5.6. It orbits at a distance of 14,500 km from the primary and has an orbital eccentricity of about 0.14. Assuming an equal albedo and density to the primary, the apparent magnitude suggests that the moon has a diameter of about 74 km ( 1⁄12 of Quaoar). Weywot is estimated to only have 1⁄2000 the mass of Quaoar.

The red siskin (Spinus cucullata) is a small passerine bird. This finch is a resident breeding bird in tropical South America in northern Colombia and northern Venezuela (where it's called \"cardenalito\"). The introduced population on Trinidad is believed to be extinct, with no sightings since 1960. Some hope has been given to this highly endangered species by the discovery in 2003 of a population of several thousand birds in southern Guyana, 1000 km from any previously known colony. Otherwise the world population is believed to be between 600-6000 pairs. The red siskin is found in open country, forest edges and grassland with trees or shrubs. The female is believed to lay 3 greenish white eggs in a grassy cup nest in a tree. It was common in the early twentieth century, occurring throughout the foothills of northern Venezuela but has now become extremely rare in a fragmented range. The red siskin is about 10 cm long. The male is mainly deep red, with black on the head, throat, flight feathers and tail tip, and a whitish lower belly and undertail. The female is grey on the head, breast, and upperparts, apart from a red rump and uppertail. The breast is grey with reddish flanks, and the rest of the underparts, the wings and tail resemble the corresponding areas of the male. Immature females are paler than the adults, and immature males are brown rather than red. The call is a high-pitched chitter and sharp chi-tit like Indian silverbill, and the male’s song is a musical goldfinch-like melody with twitters and trills. Red siskins eat seeds, and are highly gregarious. When they were more numerous they formed semi-nomadic flocks. The siskin has been illegally trapped for the cage bird trade and endangered by environmental factors. Domestication has probably been responsible for the continuation of the species, which might overwise be extinct. This is an attractive finch with a pleasant song, and its unique coloration for a small finch (most are predominantly yellow) has led to it being used for interbreeding with domesticated canaries to produce varieties with red in the plumage.

Zakiya Nassar, sometimes spelled \"Zakia\" (Arabic: زكية نصار), born April 2, 1987 in Bethlehem, Palestine), is an Olympic swimmer from Palestine. She represented Palestine at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. In the lead-up to the Games, her coach, relayed by the media, commented that Nassar faced severe difficulties in training, due to her lack of access to a swimming pool. The Globe and Mail reported that \"[t]here is no Olympic-sized pool in the Palestinian territories and no budget to speak of for the Palestinian Olympic swimmers\". Nassar told the media that she was receiving no support from the Palestinian authorities, that she was able to swim once a month \"at best\", and that she feared a disastrous performance in Beijing. The Israeli authorities subsequently granted her authorisation to swim in a pool in Jerusalem. Nassar won her heat in the 50 metre freestyle event, but her time of 31.97 was not sufficient for her to advance to the next round. Nassar lives in Bethlehem and, as of 2008, is studying dentistry at the Arab American University in Jenin.

Ninemile Creek, also known as Nine Mile Creek, is a stream in Central New York in the United States. Its source is at Otisco Lake in the town of Marcellus, from where the creek runs northward for 21.75 miles (35.00 km) through the villages of Marcellus and Camillus to Onondaga Lake in the town of Geddes. Nine Mile Creek is a scenic stream noted for trout fishing. The Solvay Process Company deposited industrial waste near the creek and Onondaga Lake from the late 19th century to the late 20th century. Recent reclamation has significantly restored quality in the final stretch of the creek. Farther to the south and upstream, the state of New York maintains fishing access sites.

Ptolemaic Terrascope is a magazine covering old and new music, usually of a psychedelic nature. It has been published irregularly since 1989. Originally published by the Woronzow record label, it covers a wide variety of bands and artists from the 1960s to the present day. Issues typically come with a 7\" vinyl record or latterly a CD, and sometimes also special inserts such as artwork, scrap books, and discount coupons. In March 2005, editor Phil McMullen announced that the magazine would be coming under new management and relocating from Britain to North America. The terrascope.co.uk domain name has been retained by McMullen for the website Terrascope Online, featuring reviews, interviews, articles and artwork by the majority of the former Ptolemaic Terrascope staff. The Terrascope Online website also acts as a focus for the semi-annual Terrastock indie rock festivals which, since 1997, Phil McMullen has curated. According to the magazine, the name Ptolemaic Terrascope has no real meaning. Their official web page explains, \"Ptolemy is a tortoise who lives at Terrascope Towers. Terrascope is a word Phil made up because (a) it matched the artwork we'd designed for the first issue, and (b) we like the Captain Beefheart song 'Tarotplane'.\"

Go! Go! Kokopolo - Harmonious Forest Revenge, is an action puzzle platform video game developed and published by Tanukii Studios Limited for the Nintendo DSi's DSiWare digital distribution service. It was first announced in October 2008 as a title under development for the Nintendo DS, in a series of Developers Diaries in the UK video game magazine, NGamer. It was eventually released on the DSiWare service on August 4, 2011 in the PAL regions, August 11, 2011 in North America, and May 30, 2012 in Japan. The game is described by the developers as the \"world's first chase-em-up\" and utilizes a hybrid of different gameplay styles, such as maze games, platformers and puzzle elements to create a unique arcade experience. The developers cite arcade classics such as Pac-Man, Flicky, Door Door and Chu Chu Rocket as inspiration for the main gameplay mechanics, and video game characters, such as Wario, for the mischievous humor abundant in the game. Go! Go! Kokopolo was met with very favorable reviews upon its release, receiving an 8/10 from NintendoLife, and an 8.5/10 from IGN. Several minor criticisms were leveled at the difficulty of the game, especially in later stages, but an easy mode was included to help lend an easy learning curve for more novice players. The game also featured highly in the Best of 2011 lists on Joystiq, WiiLoveIt, IGN and NintendoLife.

Presidential elections were held in Tajikistan on 6 November 2013. Incumbent President Emomali Rahmon was re-elected with a reported 86.9% of the vote on a turnout of 86.6%. In power since 1992, Rahmon was seeking a new term in office, and was widely expected to be re-elected. None of his five opponents, who were \"virtual unknowns even inside the country\", publicly criticised him, while Oynihol Bobonazarova, a human rights activist generally regarded as the only real opposition candidate was prevented from running, having narrowly failed to obtain sufficient signatures to register as a candidate. Her Islamic Revival Party blamed local authorities for harassing party activists who were seeking to collect signatures.

En fallit (\"The Bankrupt\") is a play by Norwegian playwright Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson that was published in 1875 in Copenhagen. The play was partially written in Rome, and has a theme that was new for the Scandinavians, because the dramatist had to deal with tragicomedy of money, and, while making a forcible plea for honesty to contrive to produce a stirring and entertaining play on what might seem so prosaic a foundation as business finance. The play was actually first performed in a Swedish translation, at Stockholm, a few days before it was produced at Christiania. After that the play also reached Berlin, Munich, Vienna, and other German and Austrian theaters. It was played in Paris, at the Théâtre Libre in 1894. The character of Berent, the lawyer, which became a favorite one with the famous Swedish actor Ernst Possart, was admittedly more or less of a portrait of a well-known Norwegian lawyer, by name Dunker. When Bjørnson was writing the play, he went to stay for some days with Dunker, who was to instruct him as to the legal aspect of bankruptcy. Bjørnson took the opportunity of studying the lawyer as well as the law.

Nicholas Farnham (or Nicholas of Farnham; died 1257) was a medieval Bishop of Durham. Farnham was probably a native of Farnham, Surrey. He studied at Oxford University before moving on to study at Paris and Bologna. At Paris he first studied theology, but later moved to medicine. He taught at the University of Bologna as a teacher of medicine before moving to England. He was at Paris when the riots of 1229 drove many teachers out of Paris. Farnham came to England because of King Henry III's offers of teaching chairs at Oxford to those displaced by the riots. Farnham was a royal physician before he became confessor to the king and queen in 1237. In 1239, the cathedral chapter of Coventry elected him Bishop of Coventry, but Farnham refused the office. He was elected to the see of Durham on 2 January 1241 and at first he wanted to decline the office, but Robert Grosseteste, Bishop of Lincoln persuaded him to accept. Farnham was consecrated as bishop on either 26 May or 9 June 1241. While bishop, Farnham continued to work for the king. In 1241 he was mediating with King Alexander II of Scotland, and in 1242 he was involved in the negotiatons over the marriage of King Henry's daughter Margaret to the future Alexander III of Scotland. As a bishop, he became embroiled in a dispute with a dependency of St Alban's Priory, which was finally settled in 1248 in the priory's favor. The set of constitutions, or laws, he issued for the clergy of his diocese were heavily based on his predecessor's constitutions as well as Grosseteste's for Lincoln. Farnham was often ill. In 1244 he almost died, and had to go to the south of England where he received a miraculous cure from drinking water which had had bristles from the beard of Saint Edmund of Abingdon soaked in it. Once more in 1248, his health declined, and it was this illness that caused Farnham to seek a license to resign his see from the pope. He resigned on 2 February 1249 and died in 1257. On his resignation, he had three manors assigned to him for his support, and it was at one of these, Stockton in county Durham, that he died, possibly on 31 July, which was the date his death was commemorated at Durham. He was buried in Durham Cathedral.

The Attack on Marstrand was a successful Dano-Norwegian siege of Marstrand and Carlsten fortress which took place between July 10–16, 1719 during the final parts of the Great Northern War. The Danes had subjected the Swedish city of Gothenburg to a blockade during the spring of 1719 to combat the Swedish privateers. After a Dano-Norwegian assault on northern Bohuslän, ships under the command of Peder Tordenskjold had also assaulted the Marstrand harbor and the immobile naval ships in the Swedish Gothenburg Fleet. After these ships had been sunk, the Danes mounted their final assault on Carlsten fortress, whose garrison surrendered swiftly, partly because of psychological warfare. The commander of the fortress, Colonel Henrich Danckwardt, was later sentenced to death by a Swedish court martial for abandoning the fort while it was still deemed defendable. The surrender of the strong Carlsten fortress in 1719 is still surrounded by a number of myths and legends.

The Pukshenga (Russian: Пукшеньга) is a river in Kholmogorsky District of Arkhangelsk Oblast in Russia. It is a right tributary of the Northern Dvina River. It is 121 kilometres (75 mi) long, and the area of its basin 2,330 square kilometres (900 sq mi). The principal tributaries of the Pukshenga are the Tyulenga River and the Shilenga River (both left). The river basin of the Pukshenga includes the whole eastern part of the Kholmogorsky District, east of the Northern Dvina and south of the Pinega, and minor areas in Pinezhsky and Vinogradovsky Districts of Arkhangelsk Oblast. The Pukshenga starts in the eastern part of the Kholmogorsky District, close to the border of the Pinezhsky District. It has two sources — Svetluga River and Proyezzhaya River. The latter one is the drain of the system of glacial lakes in both Kholmogorsky and Pinezhsky Districts. The Pukshenga flows west, and at the point it accepts the Kuzega River from the right, the course of the Pukshenga turns south-west. There are two settlements on the river banks, both with the name of Pukshenga. The settlement of Pukshenga is located several kilometers upstream from the mouth, whereas the village of Pukshenga is located in the mouth of the Pukshenga, on the right bank of the Northern Dvina. The Pukshenga was a part of the old trading route used by the Novgorod merchants to get from the basin of the Northern Dvina into the river basin of the Pechora. The merchants were going upstream the Pukshenga, then moved to the Pokshenga and went downstream to the Pinega. From the Pinega, they used the Yezhuga, the Zyryanskaya Vashka and the Vashka to get to the Mezen, and subsequently the Pyoza and the Tsilma to get to the Pechora.

Amaurobius ferox, sometimes known as the black lace-weaver is a spider belonging to the family Amaurobiidae. It is distributed in Europe and North America and has been introduced into New Zealand. The female of this species is around 16 mm in length (excluding legs). It is very dark brown to black overall. The abdomen is rounded and bears indistinct yellowish markings. The male is similar but smaller (length about 11 mm) and more slender. The eggs are laid in a white sac in a sheltered place. The female usually guards the sac until the eggs have hatched. This species has been known to bite man. Amaurobius ferox is a matriphagous spider, meaning that the young devour the mother after hatching. First she lays a second set of eggs on which the newly hatched spiders feed. Then a few days later she actively encourages her offspring to devour her.

Held over the weekend of July 11, 2014 in Schaumburg, Illinois, the inaugural convention quickly became infamous for allegations of mismanagement among organizers, an alleged abrupt demand by the hotel for an upfront payment of cash for use of its facilities, and celebrity guests being forced to drop out of the convention after they were informed by the hotel that they would be responsible for paying for their rooms. A small ball pit placed in one of the halls became a meme after organizers offered attendees, along with raffle and concert tickets, an \"extra hour\" in it as reimbursement for a canceled panel. Organizers for DashCon initially stated that they were going to hold a second DashCon in 2015 despite the issues faced by the inaugural edition, but officially announced via a Tumblr post in September 2014 that DashCon LLP was going to be dissolved and all its assets liquidated, meaning that they were not going to hold a second convention. The post also denied claims that a similarly themed convention, Emoti-Con, was a re-branded DashCon.

\"Autostop\" (Greek: \"Ωτοστόπ\"; English: \"Hitch-Hiking\") was the Greek entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1980, performed in Greek by Anna Vissi and The Epikouri. With music by Jick Nacassian and lyrics by Rony Sofu, the \"Autostop\" was Greece's sixth entry in the Contest. It is an up-tempo number in praise of the tradition of hitch-hiking throughout Europe. Vissi suggests that it is the best way of seeing the world, and sings that one can even go as far as China. The song is also memorable for the frequent repetition of the title, with the word being sung 37 times. Also of note is the fact that Lia Vissi, Vissi's older sister, made an appearance as one of the backing singers, having done the same one year before. Both sisters would go on (at the 1982 Contest in Anna's case and the 1985 Contest in Lia's) to represent their country of birth, Cyprus. The Eurovision Song Contest 1980 took place in The Hague, Netherlands on April 19, 1980. \"Autostop\" was performed third out of the nineteen entries of the night and followed Turkey's Ajda Pekkan with \"Pet'r Oil\" while preceding Luxembourg's Sophie & Magaly with \"Papa Pingouin\". At the close of voting, the performance had received 30 points, placing 13th in a field of 19. It was succeeded as Greek representative at the 1981 Contest by Yiannis Dimitras with \"Feggari Kalokerino\". As mentioned above, Anna Vissi returned to the Contest in 1982, then representing her native Cyprus with \"Mono I Agapi\", and a third time in 2006 with \"Everything\", again singing for Greece.
