According to the 19th century Welsh historian Angharad Llwyd , he established the first church there in about 630 . The present church ( which is a Grade II listed building ) mainly dates from the 19th century , but has some medieval fabric and a 12th century font . Until the 19th century , there was a stone more than 9 feet ( 3 m ) high in the field next to church , known Maen Llechgynfarwy ( maen meaning stone , unk meaning slate and unk being a modified form of the saint 's name ) . The settlement around the church , which is about 10 miles ( 16 km ) from the port of Holyhead , is known as Llechgynfarwy ( or sometimes as unk ) . The traditional date for the feast of St Cynfarwy varies between antiquarian sources , although all place it in November . Some manuscripts say that it falls on the 10th , some on the 11th , whilst according to Angharad Llwyd and others the festival is marked on the 7th .

Fursuits are animal costumes . Fursuits can be worn for personal enjoyment , work or charity . The term fursuit is believed to have been coined in 1993 by Robert King and is usually used to describe custom made animal costumes owned and worn by cosplayers or members of the furry fandom . Unlike mascot suits , which are usually affiliated with a team or organization , fursuits represent a stand alone character . unk may adopt another personality while in costume for the purpose of performance . Fursuits are typically sold online by commission or auction , but can also be sold at conventions . Creation and construction Most fursuits are created by specialized online businesses if they are not self made . unk quality varies widely depending on the cost of the suit and skill of the maker . A fursuit may cost more than a thousand dollars . Many suits include special padding or unk to give the character its desired shape ( this is especially present in larger characters or those of a particular gender ) . Other suit variations include the partial suit , which only has a mask , gloves , a tail , and possibly feet , with regular clothing covering the rest of the body . Three quarter suits also include part of the body , like the torso or legs . This type of fursuit works well for characters who only wear a shirt without pants or just a pair of pants without a shirt . unk are designed with arm extending stilts so that the wearer can walk on all fours , for a more realistic appearance . Fursuits can be expensive to clean . Applications Animal costumes have been part of human culture since prehistorical times . Some of the customs have continued such as the unk festival in Ptuj Slovenia , where participants dress in costumes of sheep or rabbit fur with feathers and animal horns and part of a fertility rite . Fursuits are worn to furry conventions and other events such as anime or gaming conventions . Fursuits may also be worn in public . Some fursuit owners use their suits as temporary costumed characters to bring attention to an event or charity . A subset of fursuits more resemble creature suits and may be used in live action role playing games ( LARP ) or films .

Dishaster is an action game released for the Atari 2600 in 1983 by unk . Another version of the game was released by Bit Corporation under the name Dancing Plates which features oriental themed graphics and adds eight game variations . Dishaster was inspired by the circus tradition of keeping spinning plates suspended on poles . The player controls a girl attempting to keep a group of several spinning plates balanced on poles from falling . The game received negative reviews criticism focused on the game 's repetition and monotony . Gameplay The girl can stabilize wobbling dishes by pressing the button on the controller . If a plate falls , the player is able to capture it if the girl touches it before it hits the ground , and a new one appears at the top of the pole . The number of poles to spin varies between the selected skill level there are six on the easiest setting , and ten on the hardest . The player loses if they let four dishes hit the ground . Reception The game received negative reviews . Author Brett Weiss stated that Dishaster was as bad as its unfunny title implies and that it was a hopelessly repetitive game . While Weiss opined the graphics were convincing , he remarked that the plate spinning action gets old in a hurry . Al unk , a reviewer for the magazine Digital Press , wrote Dishaster gets to be so monotonous so quickly because if you play in a systematic manner it 's too easy I move sequentially from left to right and repeat . Yep , really tough pattern . I was able to max out the easy version without dropping a plate after several hours . I was hoping something interesting would happen , but the score just resets to zero after passing 999 , 999 . Another Digital Press writer , Kevin unk , also disliked Dishaster , including the game in his The Worst of the Atari 2600 list , writing The lack of sound effects , details or any background whatsoever while maneuvering around one unchanging screen would surely claim this as a unk . unk reserved special criticism for the game 's music . The reviewer for TV Gamer magazine wrote Dishaster may be enjoyed by very young gamers , but it is not sophisticated enough for any battle hardened arcade gamers .

HD 217107 ( 6 G. unk ) is a yellow subgiant star approximately 65 light years away from Earth in the constellation of Pisces ( the Fish ) . Its mass is very similar to the Sun 's , although it is considerably older . Two planets have been discovered orbiting the star one is extremely close and completes an orbit every seven days , while the other is much more distant , taking eight years to complete an orbit . Distance , age , and mass HD 217107 is fairly close to the Sun the Hipparcos astrometric satellite measured its parallax as 50 . 71 unk , which corresponds to a distance of 65 light years . Its apparent magnitude is 6 . 17 , making it just barely visible to the naked eye under favourable conditions . Spectroscopic observations show that its spectral type is G7 or G8 , which means its temperature is about 5 , 000 K. Its mass is thought to be roughly the same as the Sun 's , although its estimated age of 7 . 7 billion years is rather older than the Sun 's 4 . 6 billion years , and it is thought to be beginning to evolve away from the main sequence , having consumed almost all the hydrogen in its core in nuclear fusion reactions . Planetary system A study of the radial velocity of HD 217107 carried out in 1998 revealed that its motion along the line of sight varied over a 7 . 1 day cycle . The period and amplitude of this variation indicated that it was caused by a planetary companion in orbit around the star , with a minimum mass slightly greater than that of Jupiter . The companion planet was designated HD 217107 b . While most planets with orbital periods of less than 10 days have almost circular orbits , HD 217107 b has a somewhat eccentric orbit , and its discoverers hypothesized that this could be due to the gravitational influence of a second planet in the system at a distance of several astronomical units ( AU ) . Confirmation of the existence of a second planet followed in 2005 , when long term observations of the star 's radial velocity variations revealed a variation on a period of about eight years , caused by a planet with a mass at least twice that of Jupiter in a very eccentric orbit with a semimajor axis of about 4 . 3 AU . The second planet was designated HD 217107 c .

M 221 is a short state trunkline highway in the Upper Peninsula ( UP ) of the US state of Michigan that connects M 28 with the community of Brimley and Brimley State Park . The highway was originally part of M 28 until the 1940s when it was briefly a local road . It has been a state highway again since it was designated as M 221 in 1945 . Route description M 221 runs for 2 . 494 miles ( 4 . 014 km ) north from M 28 into the unincorporated community of Brimley in Superior Township . The highway passes through rural fields and woods until it enters downtown . At the corner of Main Street and Lakeshore Drive , the signed portion of M 221 ends , but state maintenance continues on Lakeshore Drive across the unk River . The total length of the highway , including the unsigned segment , is 2 . 545 miles ( 4 . 096 km ) . M 221 is maintained by the Michigan Department of Transportation ( MDOT ) like other state highways in Michigan . As a part of these maintenance responsibilities , the department tracks the volume of traffic that uses the roadways under its jurisdiction . These volumes are expressed using a metric called annual average daily traffic , which is a statistical calculation of the average daily number of vehicles on a segment of roadway . MDOT 's surveys in 2009 showed that the traffic levels along M 221 were 2 , 940 vehicles daily north of the junction with 7 Mile Road and 1 , 476 vehicles per day south of the intersection along the whole highway , 26 trucks were recorded in the survey . No sections of M 221 have been listed on the National Highway System , a network of roads important to the country 's economy , defense , and mobility . History M 221 was part of the original M 25 that ran through the eastern UP in 1919 . This specific segment of roadway ran north into Brimley and turned east onto 6 Mile Road to connect with US Highway 2 ( now H 63 Mackinac Trail ) The trunkline became part of M 28 . In early 1942 , M 28 was rerouted on the current alignment south of Brimley and this highway was turned back to local control . In 1945 , M 221 was designated along a portion of the former M 28 . Major intersections The entire highway is in Superior Township , Chippewa County .

It is a Grade II listed building . The mill stands on a site where a mill was first recorded in the Domesday Book , but the present building was constructed around 1780 . It closed in 1962 but was restored in 1979 and is still used to grind flour . The equipment is powered by two overshot wheels . It is owned by the National Trust but operated as a tourist attraction by a private company . History At the time of the Domesday Book in 1086 there were two mills in Dunster . One which was called the Lower Mill was on the site of the present mill . In the 17th century there were both malt and oats mills but by 1721 one of these had been converted to a fulling mill . The present mill , which was built around 1780 and replaced the two former mills . In 1940 a bakery was added . The mill ground corn until World War II and then animal feed until it closed in 1962 . It was restored to working order in 1979 , winning a conservation award in 1982 . The mill is still used to grind wheat flour . A cafe was opened in the buildings which used to be the wagon house and stables . Further restoration work , completed in 2007 , was funded by the Exmoor Sustainable Development Fund . Although it is owned by the National Trust it is leased to a private company to run as a tourist attraction and an entrance charge applies to all visitors . The site is visited by around 10 , 000 tourists a year and produces 6 8 tonnes of flour each year . The second waterwheel was restored and the collapsed wheel replaced in 2015 . Architecture and machinery The two storey building has a slate roof . To the south east a stone wall contains wrought iron gates in an arched gateway . The grinding equipment is powered by a pair of overshot wheels , which transfer power to the crown wheel via a series of belts . This then drives the grinding stones and sack lift .

State Route 73 , also known as SR 73 , is a numbered state highway in Alabama . The route runs 11 . 219 miles ( 18 . 055 km ) from SR 71 in Higdon north to the Tennessee border , where it becomes State Route 377 ( SR 377 ) . SR 73 passes through rural areas in eastern Jackson County , serving the community of Bryant . The SR 73 designation was first used for present day CR 29 between Piedmont in Calhoun County and Forney in Cherokee County , existing in the 1930s and 1940s . In the 1950s , SR 207 was briefly assigned to the road between Higdon and Bryant before it received the SR 73 designation . SR 73 was extended in the 1980s north to the Tennessee state line to connect to SR 377 . Route description SR 73 begins at an intersection with SR 71 in the community of Higdon , Alabama , heading north on a two lane undivided road . The route heads through rural areas of farms and woods with some homes , curving to the northwest . The road heads north again as it crosses under several power lines radiating from the Widows Creek Power Plant along the Tennessee River . SR 73 continues northeast past homes and businesses in the Bryant , Alabama area on top of Sand Mountain prior to going north through more forested areas with a few rural homes . The route passes through a mix of farm and woodland before it turns east into forests . SR 73 makes a sharp curve north again to traverse Sand Mountain as it comes to the Tennessee border . At this point , the road continues into Tennessee as SR 377 , which ascends Sand Mountain to end at SR 156 , east of South Pittsburg , Tennessee . History The SR 73 designation was first assigned in 1934 to an unimproved road connecting SR 74 in Piedmont and SR 62 in Forney , passing through Spring Garden and Rock Run , Alabama . By 1948 , this road was removed from the state highway system , becoming CR 29 in Calhoun and Cherokee counties by 1955 . What would become the current SR 73 south of Bryant became a part of SR 207 by 1955 at this time , the portion of road was a paved highway . SR 207 was redesignated SR 73 by 1957 . By 1987 , SR 73 was extended north from Bryant to the Tennessee border . Major intersections The entire route is in Jackson County .

M 31 was a state trunkline highway in the Lower Peninsula in the US state of Michigan . It generally ran north from Port Huron along the Lake Huron shoreline through The Thumb region before turning inland . The highway crossed The Thumb and then ran along the Saginaw Bay shoreline before running inland again , terminating at Saginaw . It was one of the original state highways signposted in 1919 , but it was renumbered as other highways in 1926 , decommissioning the designation in the process . Route description M 31 started at M 21 in Port Huron and ran northward along the Lake Huron shoreline . Along the way , it intersected the western terminus of M 46 before reaching Harbor Beach . In town , the original M 27 merged in from the north , and M 27 M 31 ran concurrently westward , turning inland . The two highways separated north of Ruth as M 27 turned southward . M 31 continued across The Thumb through Bad Axe , where it ran concurrently with M 19 in town . The highway carried on westward through Elkton and Pigeon to Bay Port . Once there , the trunkline turned southwesterly to follow along part of the Saginaw Bay . The road passed through unk to Unionville before turning back inland . Running southward to Akron , the highway turned alternately westward and southward to Fairgrove . M 31 next ran west along unk Road to a connection with M 81 the two highways ran concurrently south through Gilford before M 31 separated and turned back westward through Reese to Saginaw . The northern terminus in downtown Saginaw was at an intersection with what was then M 10 . History When the state highway system was first signed in 1919 , M 31 was one of the original trunklines , originally running northward from Port Huron to Harbor Beach and then westward to Saginaw . When the U.S. Highway System was approved on November 11 , 1926 , M 31 was decommissioned in favor of alternate numbers . From Port Huron north to Harbor Beach , M 29 was extended as a replacement . The segment west to Bay Port was renumbered M 83 while from Bad Axe west it was also additionally part of M 29 to Unionville . The remainder was numbered M 84 from Unionville to Reese , and M 81 from Reese to Saginaw . Major intersections

New York State Route 306 ( NY 306 ) is a north south state highway in western Rockland County , New York , in the United States . NY 306 runs from NY 59 in the hamlet of Monsey to U.S. Route 202 ( US 202 ) in Ladentown , on the western boundary of the village of Pomona . The road is currently 5 . 33 miles ( 8 . 58 km ) long however , it originally extended south to the New Jersey state line and north to Willow Grove Road ( former NY 210 ) when it was assigned as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York . Route description NY 306 begins at NY 59 in the Ramapo hamlet of Monsey and proceeds north as Main Street through part of the business district of Monsey . After passing Maple Avenue in the Jewish village of unk , NY 306 becomes Monsey Ladentown Road for the rest of its run . NY 306 quickly leaves the small village and reenters the town of Ramapo . Roughly 1 mile ( 1 . 6 km ) north of unk , NY 306 intersects County Route 74 ( CR 74 ) . Ramapo High School is located just east of NY 306 on CR 74 . NY 306 then passes a fairly large cemetery called Church of the West Hempstead Cemetery . NY 306 continues north past CR 80 , and enters the village of Wesley Hills . There it passes a small shopping center , and proceeds into residential areas . Finally , NY 306 enters Pomona at CR 86 . The route ends shortly afterward at US 202 . History When NY 306 was assigned as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York , it extended from the New Jersey state line in the south to Willow Grove Road ( then part of NY 210 ) in the north via East Saddle River Road , Monsey Ladentown Road , and Call Hollow Road . NY 306 was truncated to its current northern terminus at US 202 in Ramapo ( now part of the village of Pomona ) c . 1939 and to its modern southern end at NY 59 in Monsey c . 1962 . The former extensions of NY 306 are now largely maintained by Rockland County as CR 73 ( East Saddle River Road ) and CR 75 ( Call Hollow Road north of the Ramapo town line ) . The current southern terminus of NY 306 in Monsey was the proposed southwestern terminus of the Spring Valley Bypass , a bypass of NY 45 and NY 59 that was never built .

M 212 is a state trunkline highway in the US state of Michigan . The highway was designated in order to provide access from M 33 to both the small community of Aloha on the eastern shore of Mullett Lake , as well as to Aloha State Park , where the highway ends . M 212 is the shortest signed state highway in Michigan , beating out the second shortest , M 239 , which registers at 1 . 136 miles ( 1 . 828 km ) . M 212 even beats out Michigan 's shortest signed business route , BUS M 32 in Hillman , which comes in at 0 . 738 miles ( 1 . 188 km ) , only about six thousandths of a mile longer , or about 32 feet ( 9 . 8 m ) . M 212 was assigned on December 29 , 1937 , from the intersection with Second Street to an intersection with US Highway 23 ( US 23 ) . In 1940 , the state of Michigan rerouted US 23 and replaced it with M 33 . Route description M 212 begins at an intersection with Second Street and the unk Trail north of the entrance to Aloha State Park in the community of Aloha . The community was originally a stop on the Detroit and Mackinac Railway that was named after a trip to Hawaii by the local sawmill owner . Progressing eastward , M 212 intersects with Third Street and Fourth Street , both of which are just separated by woodlands and residences . To the north of the highway , there is all woodlands and residences . To the south , there are just a few residences . After a while , there is a large clearing , which gives way to a farm to the north and more residences to the south . After the farm there is a large field and M 212 terminates at an intersection with M 33 in Aloha Township . History The Michigan State Highway Department assigned M 212 to its current alignment in Aloha Township from what was then US 23 on December 29 , 1937 . The route has remained mainly intact since its assignment . Originally , US 23 ran along the highway at the eastern terminus of M 212 , but the highway department realigned the highway onto an alignment along the shore of Lake Huron in 1940 that year , the highway department replaced the former US 23 alignment with the designation of M 33 , which has remained there since .

The north south signed route is a spur freeway which mainly passes through government owned properties . For some of its path , SR 844 passes through Wright State University . The highway was first signed in 1995 on the same alignment as today . SR 844 replaced the SR unk designation of the highway , which dated back to 1989 . Route description SR 844 begins at a partial interchange with Interstate 675 ( I 675 ) . The route heads northeast as a four lane controlled access highway , passing under North Fairfield Road . The road has a partial interchange with Colonel Glenn Highway , before passing on the southeast and east sides of Wright State University . The highway curves due north , having an interchange with University Boulevard . After the interchange with University Boulevard , the road curves northwest , passing over SR 444 . Followed by an interchange with SR 444 , SR 844 ends at Gate 15A of Wright Patterson Air Force Base . SR 844 is signed as McClernon Memorial Skyway , after the late Brigadier General Glen J. McClernon . McClernon had been base commander during the time the university was being established partially on land deeded to it by the Air Force base and also had been a two term mayor of Fairborn . The entire length of SR 844 is part of the National Highway System , a system of routes important to the nation 's economy , mobility and defense . The highway is maintained by the Ohio Department of Transportation ( ODOT ) . History SR 844 was originally SR unk , which opened by 1989 . After a public comment period in 1994 , ODOT changed the number to 844 by 1995 . Although legally designated as McClernon Skyway Memorial Drive on September 22 , 1989 , SR 844 is both signed and recognized by the state as McClernon Memorial Skyway . Future There are plans to add a ramp from northbound SR 844 to northbound SR 444 , and to add a ramp from northbound SR 444 to southbound SR 844 . As of October 2013 , the status and funding for this project are unknown . Major junctions The entire route is in Greene County .

The Butter Cross in Dunster within the English county of Somerset is a Grade II listed building and ancient monument . The cross was originally erected in the late 14th or early 15th century in the main street and moved to its current site in the late 18th or early 19th century . Although the head of the cross is missing the shaft and socket stone are original . The cross is in the care of English Heritage for the state and managed by the National Trust . History The name unk originates from their location in market places , where people from neighbouring villages would gather around the market cross to buy locally produced products . The fresh produce was laid out and displayed on the stepped bases of the cross . The market in Dunster attracted people from surrounding villages and towns as far away as Taunton and Bodmin . The Dunster Butter Cross was erected in the late 14th or early 15th century and originally stood in the High Street , possibly at the southern end of the high street , near the Yarn Market . A cross , which was later known as the high cross , was recorded in 1461 by 1689 it was known as the Butter Cross . It was moved to its current location on the edge of the village by Alcombe Road , although the date when this was done is unclear . The site where the cross now stands was leveled in 1776 by workman , paid by Henry Fownes Luttrell , and it may have been on this occasion that the cross was moved . An alternative local tradition is that it was moved in 1825 , although a drawing by J. M. W. Turner made in 1811 suggests it was in its present position by then . The cross is in the care of English Heritage for the state and managed by the National Trust . Architecture The cross comprises a shaft with a plinth and socket stone forming the base . The cross 's octagonal base and polygonal shaft have survived , however the head of the cross has been lost . It stands on a small area of raised ground on a plinth . The socket stone is 0 . 85 metres ( 2 ft 9 in ) wide and 0 . 5 metres ( 1 ft 8 in ) high . The surviving shaft is 1 . 1 metres ( 3 ft 7 in ) high and changes from square to octagonal as it rises . There is an inscription on the northern face which says WC , 1871 , WS recording a restoration .

The Svalbard Rocket Range ( Norwegian Svalbard unk ) or SvalRak is a launch site for sounding rockets at Ny lesund in Svalbard , Norway . The site has been in use since 1997 and is owned by Andya Rocket Range , which is again owned by the Norwegian Space Centre and the Kongsberg Group . SvalRak 's location at the 79th parallel north makes it well suited for launching rockets to investigate Earth 's magnetic field . It is used mostly by American , Japanese and Norwegian researchers . It is the world 's northernmost launch site . History Planning of a launch site in Ny lesund started in 1993 , a location chosen because of its ideal location to study the polar cusp . Construction of the site started in the summer of 1997 . The Norwegian Institute for Air Research , which conducts air measurements in Ny lesund , was concerned that the rockets could pollute their measurements . A test rocket was launched on 15 November . The first proper launch was a Norwegian rocket , Isbjrn 1 , which contained instruments from University Centre in Svalbard , the University of Troms and the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment . The 510 kilogram ( 1 , 120 lb ) rocket had a payload of 70 kilograms ( 150 lb ) and reached 120 kilometers ( 75 mi ) altitude . It was followed by two Black Brant rockets for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration which reached an altitude of 500 kilometers ( 310 mi ) . SvalRak originally held permission to fire four rockets every four years . Forty one rockets had been launched by 2004 , with a peak altitude of 1 , 108 kilometers ( 688 mi ) . The site was upgraded in 2008 . Use SvalRak is the world 's northern most rocket launch site , and is located at the 79th parallel north . This makes it an ideal location for sending instruments into Earth 's magnetic field and the polar cups , cleft and cup . It is also used for studying the unk and aurora borealis , for which Ny lesund is the most convenient location because of its ease of access . It is owned by Andya Rocket Range , which is owned by the Norwegian Space Center ( 90 percent ) and the Kongsberg Group ( 10 percent ) . SvalRak has no permanent staff in Ny lesund . The main users are American and Japanese and to a less extent Norwegian .

M 124 is a state trunkline highway in the Lower Peninsula of the US state of Michigan that runs on the north side of Vineyard and Wamplers lakes near Brooklyn in Jackson County near the Irish Hills area . The highway travels directly through W. J. Hayes State Park before ending in Lenawee County . The designation was created in 1929 for a road that accessed the state park , connecting it to US Highway 112 ( US 112 , now US 12 ) . It was later extended westward to M 50 in Brooklyn in the 1930s . Route description M 124 begins at an intersection with M 50 just south of Brooklyn . The trunkline runs eastward on unk Lake Road through a residential section of town and crosses the River Raisin on the north side of Vineyard Lake . After passing Vineyard Lake , the highway curves towards the southwest as it passes several other smaller lakes and heads towards Wamplers Lake . M 124 passes between Wamplers and Mud lakes , curving around the eastern side of Wamplers Lake as it enters Walter J. Hayes State Park from the north . The park is a popular tourist destination for boaters , craft and antique shows and its close proximity to Michigan International Speedway . The road nearly bisects the park as it passes through near Round Lake before exiting the park and terminating an at intersection with US 12 . M 124 is maintained by the Michigan Department of Transportation ( MDOT ) like other state highways in Michigan . According to the department between 1 , 692 and 4 , 222 vehicles used the highway each day . No segment of M 124 is listed on the National Highway System , a network of roads important to the country 's economy , defense , and mobility . History When M 124 was designated in 1929 , it extended from US 112 ( what is now US 12 ) north to Cedar Hills State Park . Between 1929 and 1932 a series of extensions and realignments proceeded to move the route further northward , at the same time the park was renamed to its present day moniker , Walter J. Hayes State Park , to honor Walter J. Hayes . In 1933 , the western end was extended to terminate at M 50 in Brooklyn . This western section of the highway was realigned to is present course in 1939 . The trunkline has retained this alignment ever since . Major intersections

Iowa Highway 182 ( Iowa 182 ) is a 9 mile long ( 14 km ) state highway in the northwestern corner of Iowa . It begins at U.S. Route 18 ( US 18 ) in Inwood and ends at Iowa 9 southeast of unk . The highway has been in the primary highway system since 1930 , when it was known as Iowa 26 . On January 1 , 1969 , Iowa 26 and Iowa 182 swapped designations . Route description Iowa Highway 182 begins at an intersection with US 18 and County Road A42 ( CR A42 ) . At the intersection , eastbound US 18 approaches from the west , eastbound US 18 approaches from the south , and CR A42 approaches from the east . Iowa 182 travels north through Inwood for one mile ( 1 . 6 km ) and continues due north through the farmland of Lyon County for eight miles ( 13 km ) to an intersection with Iowa Highway 9 . The intersection with Iowa 9 is very similar to the intersection with US 18 eastbound Iowa 9 approaches from the north and westbound Iowa 9 approaches from the east . History Between 1930 and 1968 , the highway now known as Iowa 182 was called Iowa 26 . This was the second instance of Iowa 26 . The first was designated in 1920 with the rest of the primary highway system . It was originally a spur route from Primary Road No. 19 ( now US 18 ) to Rock Valley . Iowa 26 was extended north from Rock Valley back to US 18 in 1929 . In 1930 , US 18 was rerouted in Lyon and Sioux counties . The new routing of US 18 went through Rock Valley , thus eliminating the need for Iowa 26 , which had connected Rock Valley to US 18 . The Iowa 26 designation was moved northwest . It replaced County Road S , which followed the same course Iowa 182 now follows . On January 1 , 1969 , the Iowa State Highway Commission , now known as the Iowa Department of Transportation , renumbered several state highways . The changes to the highway system fixed a number of issues creating continuous route numbers across state lines , removing duplicate route numbers where they were unnecessary , and extending route numbers in some locations . In this case , the former Iowa 182 in unk County crossed into Minnesota and became Trunk Highway 26 . The two routes ' numbers were switched and have remained the same since then . Major intersections The entire route is in Lyon County .

M 156 is a state trunkline highway in the US state of Michigan . The highway is entirely within Lenawee County and begins in Morenci at the Ohio state line with State Route 108 ( SR 108 ) and runs north to M 34 at Clayton . The highway runs through farm land along Lime Creek outside of the two communities , providing access to the Lake Hudson State Recreation Area . The trunkline dates back to the early 1930s , and has been unchanged since a realignment in 1980 . Route description SR 108 crosses into Michigan on the southern edge of Morenci where it becomes M 156 . From there the road continues northward on East Street through residential neighborhoods for about two thirds mile ( 1 . 1 km ) to Main Street near downtown where it turns west . The trunkline follows Main Street for three few blocks before turning north on North Street . The highway exits town near the Oak Grove Cemetery . M 156 follows Lime Creek Highway , which runs parallel to the stream of the same name , through farm land . Near the intersection with Morenci Highway , M 156 crosses a line of the Norfolk Southern Railway in the community of Seneca . North of the rail crossing , M 156 follows Morenci Highway northward and passes to the east of Lake Hudson and the Lake Hudson State Recreation Area before terminating at a junction with M 34 in Clayton . Like other state highways in Michigan , M 156 is maintained by the Michigan Department of Transportation ( MDOT ) . In 2011 , the department 's traffic surveys showed that on average , unk vehicles used the highway daily along Main Street in Morenci and 1 , 412 vehicles did so each day near the state line , the highest and lowest counts along the highway , respectively . No section of M 156 is listed on the National Highway System , a network of roads important to the country 's economy , defense , and mobility . History M 156 was designated along its current routing in late 1931 or early 1932 . It was fully paved by the middle of 1936 . The highway was unchanged until a series of curves were changed north of Morenci . After the construction was finished , the former segments of highway were abandoned as a public roadway on April 3 , 1980 . Major intersections The entire highway is in Lenawee County .

State Route 213 ( SR 213 ) is the shortest state highway in the U.S. state of Washington . The 0 . 35 mile ( 0 . 56 km ) long unsigned highway serves Malott , a community in Okanogan County . Extending from U.S. Route 97 ( US 97 ) over the Okanogan River via a bridge to First Avenue in Malott , the roadway is semi complete , as state law designates that the road should extend to SR 20 southwest of Okanogan . First appearing in a map in 1954 , SR 213 originated as a branch of Primary State Highway 16 ( PSH 16 ) in 1959 and later SR 20 Spur in 1964 . SR 20 Spur became SR 213 in 1973 because another SR 20 Spur was recently established in Anacortes . Route description SR 213 originates at an intersection with U.S. Route 97 ( US 97 ) south of Malott . Traveling northwest and turning northeast , the unsigned roadway crosses the Cascade and Columbia River Railroad and the Okanogan River near the confluence of the Okanogan River and Loup Loup Creek . After crossing the Okanogan River , the highway enters Malott and terminates at First Avenue , although state law dictates that eventually the road will be extended to SR 20 southwest of Okanogan . An estimated daily average of 740 motorists utilized SR 213 in 2008 . History SR 213 originated as a minor road that connected U.S. Route 97 ( US 97 ) to the area south of the Okanogan River and Malott the road first appeared on a map in 1954 . In 1959 , the Washington State Legislature passed a law that created a branch of Primary State Highway 16 ( PSH 16 ) that extended from PSH 16 near Okanogan to US 97 in Malott to take effect on July 1 , 1961 . By 1963 , US 97 was realigned south of the Okanogan River and the PSH 16 branch was extended across the river . During a highway renumbering in 1964 , PSH 16 became SR 20 and the branch of PSH 16 became SR 20 Spur . In 1973 , SR 20 Spur became SR 213 , while another SR 20 Spur was established in Anacortes . Beginning in 2008 , the Washington State Department of Transportation ( WSDOT ) has been maintaining a short , 0 . 35 mile ( 0 . 56 km ) long segment of the proposed SR 213 as the a state route . The highway between Malott and SR 20 will be eventually built as state law dictates it . Major intersections The entire highway is in Okanogan County .

State Route 28 ( SR 28 ) is a 16 . 2 mile ( 26 . 1 km ) road that runs along the northeastern shore of Lake Tahoe . SR 28 starts at US 50 and ends at the California state line at Crystal Bay , continuing across the border as SR 28 . SR 28 is part of the National Scenic Byway system since September 1996 , and the state scenic byway system since June 1994 . The highway serves Douglas County and Washoe County as well as a rural part of Carson City . SR 28 was designated in 1948 , and has not significantly changed since it was first paved . Route description SR 28 begins at U.S. Route 50 ( US 50 ) in Douglas County , Nevada . It heads north from there , forming part of the boundary of Lake Tahoe Nevada State Park until crossing into Carson City . The highway then enters Washoe County , where the highway enters Humboldt Toiyabe National Forest . It then turns northwest , running through Incline Village . In western Incline Village , SR 28 junctions with SR 431 , which is a direct link to Reno to the northeast . Just short of the California state line , it turns south to run parallel to the line and finally crosses into California at Crystal Bay . The road continues west of the California border as California State Route 28 . The route has been designated as the north piece of the Lake Tahoe unk Drive Scenic Byway , as part of the National Scenic Byway program . SR 28 was also designated as a state scenic byway . SR 28 is not part of the National Highway System . Around 11 , 300 cars use SR 28 on average each day . History The road that became SR 28 was paved around 1932 , and has been used for flumes in the timber industry since 1880 . The route first appeared in 1948 , with the same general alignment as it has today . The highway gained fame for many years as the location of the Ponderosa Ranch , filming location of the television series Bonanza . On June 7 , 1994 , the Nevada Department of Transportation ( unk ) designated SR 28 as a scenic byway , named North Shore Road . Later in September 1996 , SR 28 and part of US 50 was designated as Lake Tahoe unk Drive , a National Scenic Byway .

King 's Highway 73 , commonly referred to as Highway 73 , was a provincially maintained highway in the Canadian province of Ontario . The route began in Port Bruce and progressed north through Aylmer , encountering Highway 401 immediately before terminating east of Dorchester . The route was established in mid 1937 , remaining unchanged for nearly six decades before being transferred to Elgin County and Middlesex County in 1997 and 1998 . Today the route is known as Elgin County Road 73 and Middlesex County Road 73 . Route description Highway 73 began near the Lake Erie shoreline in Port Bruce , at Colin Street . From there it crossed Catfish Creek and veered east to Copenhagen , where it turned northward . The route progressed north through Elgin County , serving the communities of unk and unk en route to the town of Aylmer , where it intersected Highway 3 . From there it continued north through Little Aylmer and Lyons before crossing into Middlesex County . Within Middlesex County , the highway served the communities of unk and Mossley , crossing a Canadian Pacific rail line immediately south of the latter . It encountered an interchange with Highway 401 ( Exit 203 ) southwest of Dorchester , ending soon thereafter at an intersection with Middlesex County Road 29 . History The Port Bruce to Dorchester Road was assumed by the Department of Highways on August 25 , 1937 . Initially only the portion of the route within Aylmer was paved . However , by 1942 the highway had been paved north to the Springfield cutoff ( now Ron McNeil Line ) . Between 1949 and 1952 , the section south of Aylmer to Port Bruce was paved . The remainder was paved by 1953 . The routing of the highway remained unchanged for nearly sixty years . However , it was decommissioned entirely during the 1997 and 1998 highway transfers . On April 1 , 1997 , the highway south of Aylmer was transferred to the jurisdiction of Elgin County , and the highway north of the Highway 401 interchange was transferred to Middlesex County . Eight months later , on January 1 , 1998 , the remainder of the highway was transferred to the two counties . Major intersections The following table lists the major junctions along Highway 73 , as noted by the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario .

M 216 is a state trunkline highway in the US state of Michigan that serves as a connector route between M 40 at Marcellus and US Highway 131 ( US 131 ) . The highway runs through a rural area of the southwestern part of the state . It has been a part of the highway system since 1935 the current form of the roadway was finalized in 1939 . Between 2 , 400 and 3 , 900 vehicles use the highway each day on average . Route description M 216 begins at a junction with M 40 in the village of Marcellus to the southwest of Kalamazoo . The highway follows Main Street eastward in the village , crossing a branch line of the Canadian National Railway . East of town , M 216 passes through farm fields and jogs to the south around Lewis Lake . The highway runs along Marcellus Road through the rural landscape that is a mix of farm fields and woods . The trunkline crosses the Cass St. Joseph county line before running through the unincorporated community of unk in unk Township . After passing by the Pine View Golf Club , the road comes to its end at US 131 . The Michigan Department of Transportation ( MDOT ) maintains M 216 like other state highways in Michigan . As a part of these maintenance responsibilities , the department tracks the volume of traffic that uses the roadways under its jurisdiction . These volumes are expressed using a metric called annual average daily traffic , which is a statistical calculation of the average daily number of vehicles on a segment of roadway . MDOT 's surveys in 2009 showed that the highest traffic levels along M 216 were the 3 , 853 vehicles daily in the village of Marcellus the lowest counts were the 2 , 421 vehicles immediately east of town . No section of M 216 has been listed on the National Highway System , a network of roads important to the country 's economy , defense , and mobility . History M 216 has existed in its current location since its creation in 1935 . Two sets of changes to the roadway were made in the late 1930s . The first came in late 1938 when a new 0 . 7 mile ( 1 . 1 km ) long segment was newly built to replace an 0 . 9 mile ( 1 . 4 km ) segment which contained sharp turns . In 1939 , the road paving was completed . Since then , the road has existed on its current alignment . Major intersections

State Route 702 ( SR 702 ) is a 9 . 32 mile ( 15 . 00 km ) long two lane state highway located entirely in Pierce County , Washington , United States . The highway travels through rural Pierce County , and has existed since at least 1931 as State Highway 10 , then as Secondary State Highway 5J until the 1964 state highway renumbering when it was renumbered to SR 702 . The roadway the highway is routed along , continues east to an interchange with SR 161 . Route description State Route 702 ( SR 702 ) starts at a t intersection with SR 507 , east of McKenna Elementary School , headed easterly along 352nd Street . The highway travels through sections of lightly populated rural Pierce County , with sections of alternating houses and small sections of heavily wooded land . The highway terminates at SR 7 , however the roadway continues east past the intersection . The entire route is a two lane undivided highway with a 55 miles per hour ( 89 km h ) speed limit posted . Every year the Washington State Department of Transportation ( WSDOT ) conducts a series of surveys on its highways in the state to measure traffic volume . This is expressed in terms of average annual daily traffic ( AADT ) , which is a measure of traffic volume for any average day of the year . In 2009 , WSDOT calculated that as few as 4 , 400 cars traveled over the highway at the eastern terminus at SR 7 , and as many as 8 , 600 cars at the western terminus at SR 507 . History The roadway linking McKenna to now SR 7 has existed since at least 1931 , then designated State Highway 10 , and by 1939 the highway designation had been changed to Secondary State Highway 5J ( SSH 5J ) . This number remained until the 1964 state highway renumbering , where the number was changed to the current SR 702 . The highways SR 702 have connected to also been renumbered over the years , the western highway being numbered SSH 5H , and the highway on the east was formerly designated Primary State Highway 5 . In February 2010 , Representative Tom Campbell secured funding to install a traffic light at the eastern terminus , claiming it will save lives and support jobs . Updated Google Street View imagery of the highway has not yet been completed . Major intersections The entire highway is in Pierce County .

Vestgrensa ( originally Ullevl Haveby ) was a light rail station on the Sognsvann Line of the Oslo Metro in Norway . It opened on 10 October 1934 , and was located between Blindern and Ullevl stadion stations . The station was rebuilt when the Sognsvann Line was upgraded from light rail to metro standard in the early 1990s . It was closed on 22 August 1999 , when it was replaced by the new station Forskningsparken . History Ullevl Haveby station opened on 10 October 1934 , when Akersbanerne had built a light rail line from Majorstuen to Sognsvann . The line was double tracked from Majorstuen to Korsvoll ( now sthorn ) , and single tracked from there to Sognsvann . On 21 February 1939 , the section from Korsvoll to Sognsvann was upgraded to double tracks , and the station Korsvoll had its name changed to sthorn . Ullevl Haveby station changed also name , to Vestgrensa , to avoid confusion with the northbound Ullevl stadion station . Vestgrensa was part of Holmenkolbanen 's operating network until 1975 , when the municipality of Oslo bought all the company 's stock . In the early 1990s , the stations on the Sognsvann Line were upgraded to metro standard , which involved a heightening and lengthening of the platforms , and installation of a third rail power supply and a new signaling system . The electrified third rail made it impossible for passengers to cross at track level , and under or overpasses had to be built at all stations . In 1992 , the transport authorities of Oslo decided to close Nordberg and Fren stations , on the grounds that these stations were too expensive to maintain . The platforms at Vestgrensa were moved a few metres to adjust to the metro trains . Seven years later , on 22 August 1999 , Vestgrensa was closed and replaced with the newly opened Forskningsparken Station . Location Vestgrensa was located in the Ullevl Hageby neighbourhood in Oslo , between the Oslo Innovation Center ( Norwegian Forskningsparken ) and the football stadium Ullevaal Stadion . The station was positioned on an elevated embankment , some metres from a bridge over a pedestrian walkway also named Vestgrensa . The station served the residential area in Ullevl Hageby , as well as the University of Oslo at Blindern . A scout hut was in many years located close to the station .

The Larry O 'Brien NBA Championship Trophy is the championship trophy awarded annually by the National Basketball Association ( NBA ) to the winner of the NBA Finals . The name of the trophy was the Walter A. Brown Trophy until 1984 . The current design , depicting a basketball over a hoop and basket , was first awarded in 1977 still under its original name , which was changed in honor of former NBA commissioner Larry O 'Brien who served from 1975 to 1984 . Before joining the NBA , O 'Brien was the United States Postmaster General under President Lyndon B. Johnson from 1965 to 1968 . Description The trophy , made of 14 . 5 pounds of sterling silver and unk with a 24 karat gold overlay , stands two feet tall . The basketball itself is nine inches in diameter , about the same size as a regulation NBA ball . Valued at 13 , 500 , the trophy is manufactured by the Tiffany Co . Silver Shop every year . The winning team maintains permanent possession of the trophy . The year and winning team names are engraved on the trophies , and are often prominently displayed in the winning team 's arena . Promotion Although the Larry O 'Brien Trophy has been compared with the National Hockey League 's ( NHL ) Stanley Cup , it has never been as prominent as the NHL trophy . To reduce this discrepancy , the NBA has been actively promoting the O 'Brien Trophy in recent years to generate more recognition and an iconic status for the trophy . After the Detroit Pistons won the NBA Finals in 2004 , the trophy was toured around the state of Michigan , marking the first time the trophy toured around the state of the winning team . In 2005 , the NBA Legends Tour was launched in New York City . As part of the tour , the O Brien Trophy was showcased in various cities including those that were hosting the playoffs for fans ' autograph and photo sessions . It was escorted by many former players , including Julius Erving , Kareem Abdul Jabbar and Bill Russell . In May 2007 , the NBA unveiled the NBA Headquarters on Second Life , an Internet based virtual reality environment . With this launch , fans could take pictures with the championship trophy in the virtual Toyota Larry O 'Brien Trophy Room . In August , the trophy traveled to Hong Kong for the first time as part of the NBA Madness Asia Tour .

In Norse mythology , Sumarr ( Old Norse Summer ) and Vetr ( Old Norse Winter ) are personified seasons . Sumarr and Vetr , personified , are attested in the Poetic Edda , compiled in the 13th century from earlier traditional sources , and the Prose Edda , written in the 13th century by Snorri Sturluson . In both , the two are given genealogies , while in the Prose Edda the two figure into a number of kennings used by various skalds . Attestations Poetic Edda In the stanza 26 of the Poetic Edda poem Vafrnisml , the god Odin ( disguised as Gagnrr ) asks the jtunn Vafrnir from where warm Sumarr and Vetr come from , stating that they arrived first among the Wise powers . In stanza 27 , Vafrnir responds Wind cool Vindsvalr he is called , Winter 's Vetr 's father , and Mild One Svsur , the father of Summer Sumarr . The second half of this stanza is missing from early manuscripts , but some later manuscripts feature the addition of And both of these shall ever be Till the gods to destruction go . Prose Edda In chapter 19 of the Prose Edda book Gylfaginning , Gangleri ( king Gylfi in disguise ) asks why there 's an evident difference between summer and winter . The enthroned figure of High responds , and ( after scolding him for asking a question everyone knows the answer to ) states that the father of Sumarr is Svsur , who is quite pleasant , while the father of Vetr is referred to as Vindsvalr or , alternately , unk , and that Vetr derives his countenance from his ancestors , as they are cruel and cold hearted kinsmen . Sumarr and Vetr are additionally personified in the Prose Edda book Skldskaparml , where they are referred to in kennings . Kennings for Sumarr are given in chapter 30 , including son of Svsur , comfort of the snakes , growth of men , exemplified in an excerpt given from a work by the skald Egill Skallagrmsson where Valley fish 's mercy points to Snake 's mercy , which signifies Summer . Kennings are given for Vetr in chapter 26 Son of Vindsvalr , snake 's death , and storm season . Excerpts of works by the skalds unk unk ( who uses the kenning Vindsvalr 's son ) and unk ( who employs the kenning snake woe ) are then given as examples . Both Sumarr and Vetr are given as terms for times in chapter 63 .

Secondary Highway 525 , commonly referred to as Highway 525 , is a provincially maintained secondary highway in the Canadian province of Ontario . It is a short , remote secondary highway that links Highway 596 to the Wabaseemoong First Nations reserve . It is the second westernmost secondary highway in the province , Highway 673 being the first . The route was commissioned by 1982 along what was formerly Highway 596 a former use of the route number existed between 1956 and 1973 in Gravenhurst . Route description Highway 525 is a very remote highway in northwestern Ontario . There are no settlements along its 35 . 5 kilometre ( 22 . 1 mi ) length , and the closest human habitation is unk near its southern terminus and unk near its northern terminus . The route begins west of unk , branching off from Highway 596 , which travels south to Kenora . It travels north along a wide strip of land bounded by Sand Lake to the east , and by Swan Lake and unk Lake to the west , all part of the Winnipeg River watershed . Zig zagging in a generally northward direction , the highway passes through thick boreal forest . At approximately its midpoint , the route meets the Cygnet Lake road , which provides access to a remote camp . The highway continues north , curving west immediately before ending at the entrance to the Wabaseemoong ( Islington ) reserve . The road continues into the reserve to provide access to Caribou Falls and unk . History The current Highway 525 is not the original usage of the number . In 1956 , the number was one of several dozen Secondary Highways designated by the Department of Highways to improve connections between King 's Highways . The highway followed the route of present day Muskoka District Road 18 north from Highway 11 to the Muskoka Centre . It was decommissioned between early 1972 and late 1973 , shortly after the establishment of the District Municipality of Muskoka . The current Highway 525 was designated by 1982 . Prior to that , the road it followed was an extension of Highway 596 that was designated in the mid 1970s . The route was gravel surfaced when it was assumed , but has since been paved . Major intersections The following table lists the major junctions along Highway 525 . The entirety of the route is located within Kenora District .

In Norse mythology , Verflnir ( Old Norse storm pale , wind bleached , or wind unk ) is a hawk sitting between the eyes of an unnamed eagle that is perched on top of the world tree Yggdrasil . Verflnir is sometimes modernly anglicized as Vedrfolnir or unk . The unnamed eagle is attested in both the Poetic Edda , compiled in the 13th century from earlier traditional sources , and the Prose Edda , written in the 13th century by Snorri Sturluson , while Verflnir is solely attested in the Prose Edda . In both the Poetic Edda and the Prose Edda , the squirrel Ratatoskr carries messages between the unnamed eagle and unk , the wyrm that resides below the world tree . Scholars have proposed theories about the implications of the birds . Attestations In the Poetic Edda poem Grmnisml , the god Odin ( disguised as Grimnir ) says that The eagle is again attested in chapter 16 of the Prose Edda book Gylfaginning , yet here with the company of Verflnir . In the chapter , Gangleri ( described as king Gylfi in disguise ) asks the enthroned figure of High what other notable facts there are to know about Yggdrasil . High responds ( Verflnir is here anglicized as Vedrfolnir ) 'There is much to be told . An eagle sits at the top of the ash , and it has knowledge of many things . Between its eyes sits the hawk called Vedrfolnir ... . The squirrel called Ratatosk runs up and down the ash . He tells slanderous gossip , provoking the eagle and unk Theories John Lindow points out that Snorri does not say why a hawk should be sitting between the eyes of an eagle or what role it may play . Lindow theorizes that presumably the hawk is associated with the wisdom of the eagle and that perhaps , like Odin 's ravens , it flies off acquiring and bringing back knowledge . Hilda Ellis Davidson says that the notion of an eagle atop a tree and the World Serpent coiled around the roots of the tree has parallels in other cosmologies from Asia , and that Norse cosmology may have been influenced by these Asiatic cosmologies from a northern route . On the other hand , Davidson adds , the Germanic peoples are attested as worshipping their deities in open forest clearings , and that a sky god was particularly connected with the oak tree , and therefore a central tree was a natural symbol for them also .

Iowa Highway 85 ( Iowa 85 ) is a short state highway in east central Iowa . The route begins at the eastern city limit of Montezuma and ends at Iowa 21 east of Deep River . Created in 1920 as a spur route connecting What Cheer to Primary Road No. 2 , it is an original route in the Iowa primary highway system . In the early 1930s , the route was extended north to Deep River and west to Montezuma . By the end of the decade , Iowa 21 had taken over the north south portion of the route . Except for both endpoints shifting slightly , Iowa 85 has largely stayed the same since the 1930s . Route description Iowa 85 begins at the eastern city limit of Montezuma . It heads east through the rolling farmland of unk County . Near the midpoint of the route , it intersects County Road V18 ( CR V18 ) . As it approaches Deep River , the route briefly curves to the north northeast before turning to the southeast . The terrain becomes hillier as the route crosses a creek leading to the eponymous river just north of Deep River . On the south side of Deep River , Iowa 85 turns back to the east . It ends one half mile ( 0 . 80 km ) east of Deep River at an intersection with Iowa 21 . History Primary Road No. 85 was created in 1920 with the advent of Iowa 's primary highway system . At the time , it was a short spur route connecting What Cheer to Primary Road No. 2 in Keokuk County . In 1931 , Iowa 85 was significantly lengthened north to Deep River and west to US 63 in Montezuma . In 1939 , the route was shortened to its east west section between Montezuma and Deep River as Iowa 21 was extended and it supplanted Iowa 85 south of Deep River . Iowa 85 was paved in the mid 1950s until then , the highway had been a gravel road . In the early 1960s , Iowa 21 was straightened through Keokuk County near Guernsey and Deep River . This caused the eastern end of Iowa 85 to move east back to the point where it had turned into an east west route in the 1930s . The route would remain this way for nearly thirty years . In 1994 , the westernmost one mile ( 1 . 6 km ) of Iowa 85 was turned over to the City of Montezuma . The route now begins at the eastern city limits . Along US 63 , signs at the former intersection of Iowa 85 now say To Iowa 85 . Major intersections The entire route is in unk County .

State Route 633 ( SR 633 ) is a short north south state highway in the northeastern portion of the U.S. state of Ohio . Occupying a portion of Lloyd Road , SR 633 has its southern terminus at a signalized intersection with U.S. Route 20 ( US 20 ) in Wickliffe . Its northern terminus is also in Wickliffe , but at a signalized intersection with Lakeland Boulevard ( former SR 2 ) , which provides access to current SR 2 freeway by way of a trumpet interchange just to the east . SR 633 was designated in 1946 , and its routing has not changed since . Route description The entirety of SR 633 is located within the city limits of Wickliffe in Lake County . The state route begins at a signalized intersection with US 20 ( Euclid Avenue ) , and travels to the northwest from that point . It is bounded by a commercial real estate on the west side , and some small fields and woods on the east side through the Anderson Road intersection , after which commercial businesses appear on that side , as well . SR 633 then crosses a set of CSX and Norfolk Southern railroad tracks . Just after that crossing , the state highway comes to an end at a signalized intersection with Lakeland Boulevard , just three blocks southwest of a trumpet interchange that connects the SR 2 freeway with Lakeland Boulevard . Lloyd Road continues northwest after SR 633 terminates . It crosses underneath SR 2 a very short distance after the intersection . About 6 , 320 vehicles travel on SR 633 on average every day . For its entire length , SR 633 is a three lane roadway , featuring one through lane in each direction plus a center turn lane . History The 1923 Ohio Department of Highways map shows a road running along the corridor of modern SR 2 from Cleveland to Wickliffe , then turning south along the route of Lloyd Road to US 20 in Wickliffe . This routing is designated as a state highway by the 1932 map . On the 1939 map , the northeast southwest road , now labelled as SR 2 , is extended eastward , but the Lloyd Road section is still designated as a state highway . Starting with the 1946 map , this segment is labelled SR 633 . In approximately 1963 , SR 2 is rerouted onto the Lakeland Freeway , but SR 633 's terminus remains at Lakeland Boulevard . Major intersections The entire route is in Wickliffe , Lake County .

Route 108 is a short highway in the Bootheel of southeastern Missouri . Its eastern terminus is the Arkansas state line at Arkansas Highway 77 , about six miles ( 10 km ) south of Arbyrd , the only town on the route . Its western terminus is at U.S. Route 412 ( US 412 ) about two miles ( 3 km ) north of Arbyrd . Although signed as an east west route , the route follows mostly north south roadways . The route was designated in 1930 , and was extended east in 1972 . Route description Route 108 begins at the Arkansas state line in unk , Dunklin County , where the road continues south into that state as Highway 77 . From the Arkansas Missouri state line , the route heads north as a two lane undivided road , passing a few homes and businesses in unk before running through farmland . The road continues through rural areas to the southern edge of Arbyrd , where it reaches an intersection with Route 164 . At this point , Route 108 turns east to form a concurrency with Route 164 , with the two routes passing through more fields before running to the south of industry . Route 108 splits from Route 164 by heading north on East Frisco Street , passing homes and a few businesses . Route 108 leaves Arbyrd and heads through more agricultural areas before reaching its eastern terminus at US 412 . In 2012 , Missouri Department of Transportation ( MoDOT ) calculated 1 , 057 vehicles traveling north of the state line . This is expressed in terms of annual average daily traffic ( AADT ) , a measure of traffic volume for any average day of the year . History Route 108 was designated in 1930 , connecting from the state line to Route 25 . The road was already paved in gravel . Three years later , Route Y was designated , and it connected from Route 108 in unk to Caruth . In 1936 , Route 108 was repaved in concrete . By 1953 , Route 25 was rerouted into Arbyrd , becoming the terminus of Routes 108 and Y there . Route 164 was designated in 1956 , replacing a large section of Route Y from Route 108 to Route N. Fifteen years later , Route 25 was rerouted to the west , and the old alignment , from Route 246 , through Arbyrd , became part of Route 108 . Around 1983 , US 412 was designated , replacing Route 25 from Kennett to the state line . Major intersections The entire route is in Dunklin County .

About 0 . 5 miles ( 0 . 80 km ) south of MS 607 , MS 604 travels northward . The road soon ends at MS 607 at a T intersection . In 2013 , Mississippi Department of Transportation ( MDOT ) calculated as many as 1 , 000 vehicles traveling north of Birch Drive , and as few as 840 vehicles traveling south of MS 607 . MS 604 is not included as a part of the National Highway System ( NHS ) , a network of highways identified as being most important for the economy , mobility and defense of the nation . MS 604 is legally defined in Mississippi Code 65 3 3 . MS 604 is maintained by the Mississippi Department of Transportation . The route is part of the unk unk Byway to Space , which starts at MS 607 , travels on MS 604 , and ends at Stennis Space Center 's buffer zone near Pearlington . History Since 1928 , US 90 was routed through Santa Rosa , and concurrent with US 11 before crossing into Louisiana . In 1936 , a new , paved road was built from US 90 to south of Slidell , bypassing the town . Three years later , US 90 was realigned south on this new road . This caused the southern terminus to be US 90 , and the northern terminus at an unsigned highway , which would become MS 11 90 a year later . In 1948 , the route was renumbered to MS 43 , and by 1950 , the former alignment of US 90 bypassed in 1936 became signed as MS 604 . In 1967 , MS 43 was rerouted to its east , and the old alignment became MS 607 . Major intersections The entire route is in Hancock County .

In mathematics , 1 2 3 4 is the infinite series whose terms are the successive positive integers , given alternating signs . Using sigma summation notation the sum of the first m terms of the series can be expressed as formula The infinite series diverges , meaning that its sequence of partial sums , ( 1 , 1 , 2 , 2 , ... ) , does not tend towards any finite limit . Nonetheless , in the mid 18th century , Leonhard Euler wrote what he admitted to be a paradoxical equation formula A rigorous explanation of this equation would not arrive until much later . Starting in 1890 , Ernesto Cesro , mile Borel and others investigated well defined methods to assign generalized sums to divergent series including new interpretations of Euler 's attempts . Many of these summability methods easily assign to 1 2 3 4 ... a sum of 1 4 after all . Cesro summation is one of the few methods that do not sum 1 2 3 4 ... , so the series is an example where a slightly stronger method , such as Abel summation , is required . The series 1 2 3 4 ... is closely related to Grandi 's series 1 1 1 1 .... Euler treated these two as special cases of 1 2n 3n 4n ... for arbitrary n , a line of research extending his work on the Basel problem and leading towards the functional equations of what are now known as the Dirichlet eta function and the Riemann zeta function . Explanation of the paradox In mathematics , if a set of rules is consistent with itself , then one can work with those rules . According to the definitions of sum and equals that most people are used to , it makes no sense to say that 1 2 3 4 ... equals anything . However , there are other , somewhat more generous , ways of defining sum and equals that don 't contradict our ordinary , finite arithmetic , but which produce some additional surprising results with infinite sums . One way to see how that could possibly work is if the series ( 1 2 3 4 ... ) is added to itself four times in just the right way , causing all the positive terms and all the negative terms to cancel out , except for one of the initial 1 's . Thus , as four copies of the series add up to 1 , the series itself would equal 1 4 . 1 2 3 4 5 6 . . . . . 1 2 3 4 5 . . . . . 1 2 3 4 5 . . . . . . 1 2 3 4 . . . . . . . unk

Miracle Science and Fantasy Stories was a pulp science fiction magazine which published two issues in 1931 . The fiction was unremarkable , but the cover art and illustrations , by Elliott Dold , were high quality , and have made the magazine a collector 's item . The magazine ceased publication when Dold became ill and was unable to continue his duties both as editor and artist . Publication history In 1931 , Harold Hersey , who had been working in the pulp magazine field for over a decade , decided to launch a new science fiction ( sf ) and fantasy magazine . Hersey had been the editor for the first half of The Thrill Book 's run of 16 issues in 1919 , and had also worked for Clayton Magazines , where in 1928 he had proposed a sf magazine to William Clayton . Clayton turned down the idea , but the following year changed his mind and launched Astounding Stories of Super Science , with Harry Bates as editor . After Hersey left Clayton and started his own publishing company , he returned to the idea , probably with the encouragement of Elliott Dold , an artist who was providing artwork to Astounding . Hersey launched Miracle Science and Fantasy Stories in 1931 , with Dold as editor . Dold also provided the cover artwork for the first issue . Dold 's brother , Douglas Dold , also worked on the magazine some sources credit Douglas as editor instead but sf historian Howard unk argues this stems from a misreading of Hershey 's autobiography . Only one more issue appeared Elliott Dold fell ill and was unable to continue working on the magazine . Miracle included stories by Victor Rousseau and John Miller Gregory . The lead novel in the first issue is credited to Douglas Dold and the lead novel in the second issue to Elliott , but sf historian Richard Bleiler suggests both stories were collaborations by the two brothers . The quality of the fiction was generally very poor , but Elliott Dold 's artwork in both issues was of much higher quality , and is the reason that the magazine remains a collectors ' item to this day . Bibliographic details The editor for both issues was Elliott Dold the publisher was Good Story Magazine Co , based in Springfield , Massachusetts . The two issues were dated April May and June July 1931 both were printed in pulp format , priced at 20 cents , and 144 pages long .

State Route 140 ( SR 140 ) was a state highway located in Clark and Skamania counties in southwestern Washington . The highway began and ended at SR 14 in Washougal and Prindle , respectively , and followed the Washougal River and Canyon Creek . The roadway first appeared as Canyon Creek Road in a 1911 map and was designated Secondary State Highway 8B ( SSH 8B ) in 1937 . SSH 8B was a spur route of Primary State Highway 8 ( PSH 8 ) , which became SR 12 in the 1964 highway renumbering . SR 120 replaced SSH 8B in the same renumbering and SR 12 was renumbered in 1967 to SR 14 after U.S. Route 12 was extended into Washington . SR 120 was also renumbered to SR 140 , which was decommissioned in 1992 . Route description State Route 140 ( SR 140 ) originated as 15th Street at an intersection with SR 14 in Washougal , located about 1 . 47 miles ( 2 . 37 km ) east of the eastern terminus of SR 500 on the shoreline of the Columbia River . 15th Street traveled north through Downtown , crossing the Vancouver White Salmon rail route of the BNSF Railway and intersecting the former alignment of SR 14 , E Street , before turning northeastward onto 17th Street . The highway crossed the Washougal River out of Washougal in a large forest and became the Washougal River Road . The roadway paralleled the river northeast and later east into the forests and mountains of Skamania County until the river turned north . SR 140 , renamed Canyon Creek Road , turned southeast and encountered a series of sharp turns until terminating at SR 14 in Prindle . History SR 140 began as Canyon Creek Road and first appeared on a map in 1911 . The first numbered highway on the road was Secondary State Highway 8B ( SSH 8B ) , established in 1937 . The roadway traveled along the Washougal River and Canyon Creek between Primary State Highway 8 ( PSH 8 ) , co signed as U.S. Route 830 ( US 830 ) , between Washougal and Prindle . SSH 8B remained unchanged until the 1964 highway renumbering , when the route was renumbered as State Route 120 and PSH 8 became State Route 12 . After US 12 was extended west across Washington in 1967 , SR 12 became SR 14 and SR 120 became SR 140 . In 1968 , US 830 was deleted and SR 14 was realigned south onto a newer alignment . In 1992 , SR 140 was removed from the state highway system . Major intersections

K 22 is a 3 . 087 mile long ( 4 . 968 km ) highway in the U.S. state of Kansas . Located entirely within Washington County , the route runs from U.S. Route 36 ( US 36 ) north to the city limit of Haddam . A previous designation of the route existed in the 1930s from Wichita to Topeka , but was deprecated . The current alignment was designated in the 1940s . Route description K 22 begins at an intersection with US 36 , known as 17th Road . The route continues south as Deer Road toward Vining . From this intersection , K 22 heads north along Deer Road through a grassland area to an intersection with 18th Road . The route then crosses the Mulberry Creek and runs near it until it reaches Haddam . The roadway then crosses Mill Creek before meeting its northern terminus at the south city limit of Haddam near an intersection with Main Street . Deer Road continues north toward the Nebraska state line , but does not cross it . The route is maintained by the Kansas Department of Transportation ( KDOT ) , who is responsible for constructing and maintaining highways in the state . As part of this role , KDOT regularly surveys traffic on their highways . These surveys are most often presented in the form of annual average daily traffic , which is the number of vehicles that use a highway during an average day of the year . In 2010 , KDOT calculated that a total of 205 vehicles used the road daily , including 45 trucks . No part of the highway has been listed as part of the National Highway System , a network of roads important to the nation 's defence , mobility , and economy . History The first designation for K 22 was established by 1927 and ran from US 54 near Liberal to US 36 near Halford . During this time , most of the route was a dirt road , except for a portion near Garden City , which was paved . This routing was relinquished by 1932 . By 1933 , a new routing was created , and the road instead began in Wichita , headed east along US 54 to Eureka and north to Emporia . From Emporia , the route turned northeast toward Scranton and north into Topeka . This designation was decommissioned between January and July 1938 . The current designation of K 22 was established in 1941 . No alignment changes have taken place since then . Major intersections The entire route is in Washington County .

New York State Route 361 ( NY 361 ) was a state highway located in Dutchess County , New York , in the United States . The southern terminus of the route was at the Connecticut state line , where it continued to Sharon , Connecticut , as Route 361 . The northern terminus was at U.S. Route 44 ( US 44 ) in Millerton . NY 361 was designated in the mid 1930s and removed from the state highway system and replaced with County Route 62 ( CR 62 ) in 1980 as part of a large scale highway maintenance swap between the New York State Department of Transportation and the Dutchess County highway department . Route description NY 361 began as a continuation of Connecticut 's Route 361 adjacent to the bi state water body of Indian Lake in the town of North East . The route traveled northward on Sharon Road , paralleling the Webatuck Creek to Millerton , where it became South Maple Avenue and terminated at an intersection with US 44 ( Main Street ) . The road itself , however , continued northward to NY 22 in the hamlet of Mount Riga as North Maple Avenue and , outside the village , Rudd Pond Road , connecting Millerton to the Rudd Pond area of Taconic State Park . History NY 361 was assigned c . 1936 to a short north south highway connecting US 44 in Millerton to Route 4 ( later Route 361 ) at the Connecticut state line . The route remained unchanged until April 1 , 1980 , when ownership and maintenance of the route was transferred to Dutchess County as part of a large scale highway maintenance swap . As part of the swap , NY 361 , the routing of NY 82A from Amenia to Pine Plains , NY 402 , and three reference routes near the hamlets of unk ( near Red Hook ) , Pine Plains , and East Park ( near Hyde Park ) were given to the county by the New York State Department of Transportation in exchange for maintenance of the segment of NY 82 between NY 199 and the Columbia County line . Also exchanged was a county route bypassing Millbrook to the northwest ( which became NY 44A and later US 44 ) , the portion of the Salt Point Turnpike north of Smith Street in Poughkeepsie ( NY 115 ) , and unk Road between US 9 and NY 376 in Poughkeepsie ( NY 113 ) . The former routing of NY 361 is now part of CR 62 , which continues north of US 44 to NY 22 in Mount Riga . Major intersections The entire route was in Dutchess County .

New York State Route 146B ( NY 146B ) was a state highway in southern Saratoga County , New York , in the United States . It was 3 miles ( 4 . 8 km ) long and located entirely within the town of Clifton Park . The western terminus of the route was at an intersection with NY 146 , its parent route , in the hamlet of Rexford . The eastern terminus of NY 146B was in the hamlet of Groom Corners , where it met Miller and Sugarhill roads . NY 146B was assigned c . 1932 and removed c . 1965 . Its former routing is now the western portion of County Route 91 ( CR 91 ) . Route description NY 146B began at an intersection with NY 146 in Rexford , a small riverside hamlet in the town of Clifton Park . The route headed southeastward on Riverview Road , following the northern bank of the Mohawk River ( also part of the Erie Canal ) through the town . It passed to the south of the Edison Country Club and remained on the riverbank to an intersection with Grooms Road approximately 1 mile ( 1 . 6 km ) southeast of Rexford . Here , NY 146B turned eastward to follow Grooms Road to the hamlet of Groom Corners , a community based around the intersection of Grooms , Miller and Sugarhill roads . NY 146B ended at this junction however , Grooms Road continued eastward to a junction with U.S. Route 9 ( US 9 ) in the town of Halfmoon . History On July 11 , 1916 , the state of New York let a contract for improving a series of roadways linking Groom Corners to Waite Corners by way of Rexford Flats ( now Rexford ) . Approximately half of the project was complete by 1920 , while the remainder was completed by 1926 . In the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York , the portion of the Groom Corners Waite Corners highway from Rexford to Waite Corners became part of the new NY 146 . The remainder of the highway from Rexford to Groom Corners was designated as NY 146B , a spur route of NY 146 , c . 1932 . NY 146B remained unchanged until c . 1965 , when the designation was removed from the highway . The former routing of NY 146B is now part of CR 91 , which continues eastward on Grooms Road to meet US 9 in the town of Halfmoon . Additionally , the Riverview Road portion of old NY 146B is now part of the Mohawk unk Scenic Byway , a National Scenic Byway . Major intersections The entire route was in Clifton Park , Saratoga County .

State Route 902 ( SR 902 ) is a 12 . 36 mile ( 19 . 89 km ) long state highway located entirely in Spokane County , Washington , United States . The highway serves to connect Lakeland Village and Medical Lake to the county seat of Spokane . The highway has existed since at least 1931 , and before the 1964 state highway renumbering , it was numbered Secondary State Highway 11D . Between 1 , 600 and 9 , 200 vehicles used the highway on an average day in 2009 . Route description SR 902 begins at exit 264 , a diamond interchange , on the concurrent Interstate 90 ( I 90 ) U.S. Route 395 ( US 395 ) in western Spokane County . The road travels northwesterly through sparsely populated light woodlands , passing west of a small lake , before turning north . The highway then passes Lakeland Village , an educational facility for the mentally disabled , before reaching the city of Medical Lake . The highway passes through western Medical Lake and Medical Lake High School before turning east at Brooks Road . The highway passes over a rail line belonging to the Eastern Washington Gateway railroad , before leaving Medical Lake city limits . The road continues northeast , clipping the southern border of Fairchild Air Force Base before intersecting the concurrent I 90 US 395 at exit 272 . Every year , Washington State Department of Transportation ( WSDOT ) conducts a series of surveys on its highways in the state to measure traffic volume . This is expressed in terms of average annual daily traffic ( AADT ) , which is a measure of traffic volume for any average day of the year . In 2009 , WSDOT calculated that as few as 1 , 600 vehicles used the highway at the western terminus , and as many as 9 , 200 vehicles at the eastern terminus . History The first roadway linking now I 90 US 395 and Medical Lake first appeared on maps in 1931 . By the 1933 map , the remainder of the highway was present , linking back to I 90 US 395 . Before the 1964 state highway renumbering , SR 902 was numbered Secondary State Highway 11D , a branch of Primary State Highway 11 , the predecessor to US 395 through the region . No changes have been made to the alignment of the roadway , however the legal definition of the highway was changed during the 1991 legislative session . Major intersections The entire highway is in Spokane County .

HD 28185 is a yellow dwarf star similar to our Sun located about 138 light years away from Earth in the constellation Eridanus . The designation HD 28185 refers to its entry in the Henry Draper catalogue . The star is known to possess one long period extrasolar planet . Distance and visibility According to measurements from the Hipparcos astrometric satellite , HD 28185 has a parallax of 23 . 62 milliarcseconds , which corresponds to a distance of 42 parsecs ( 138 light years ) . Since the star is located further than 25 parsecs from Earth , it is not listed in the Gliese Catalogue of Nearby Stars . With an apparent magnitude of 7 . 81 , the star is not visible with the naked eye , though it can be seen using binoculars . Stellar characteristics HD 28185 is similar to our Sun in terms of mass , radius , and luminosity . The star is on the main sequence and is generating energy by fusing hydrogen in its core . The spectral type of G5V implies HD 28185 is cooler than the Sun . Like the majority of extrasolar planet host stars , HD 28185 is metal rich relative to the Sun , containing around 173 of the solar abundance of iron . The star rotates slower than the Sun , with a period of around 30 days , compared to 25 . 4 days for the Sun . Based on the star 's chromospheric activity , HD 28185 is estimated to have an age of around 2 , 900 million years . On the other hand , evolutionary models give an age of around 7 , 500 million years and a mass 0 . 99 times that of our Sun . The higher luminosity and longer rotation period favour an older age for the star . Planetary system In 2001 an extrasolar planet similar in size to Jupiter designated HD 28185 b was discovered in orbit around the star with a period of 1 . 04 years . Unlike many long period extrasolar planets , it has a low orbital eccentricity . The planet experiences similar insolation to Earth , which has led to speculations about the possibilities for habitable moons . In addition , numerical simulations suggest that low mass planets located in the gas giant 's Trojan points would be stable for long periods . The planet 's existence was independently confirmed by the Magellan Planet Search Program in 2008 . The star also shows evidence of a long term radial velocity trend , which may indicate the presence of an additional outer companion .

State Route 167 ( SR 167 ) is a 14 . 08 mile long ( 22 . 66 km ) east west state highway in the northeastern portion of the U.S. state of Ohio . Its western terminus is at the northern end of the SR 46 and SR 307 concurrency in Jefferson , and its eastern terminus is at the Pennsylvania state line about 13 miles ( 21 km ) south of unk , where Pennsylvania Route 198 ( PA 198 ) continues east . The route was designated in 1923 , and has been rerouted three times since . Route description SR 167 starts at SR 46 307 , on the northern edge of Jefferson . The route , known as Beech Street , travels east and crosses a railroad owned by Ashtabula , Carson Jefferson . SR 167 shifts slightly northeastward , and three miles later , it meets SR 11 at a diamond interchange . Later , the road intersects SR 193 in the middle of Denmark Township . After intersecting Stanhope unk Road , the route moves north a bit , then slowly moves back south and continues eastward . At the small village of Pierpont , SR 167 becomes concurrent with SR 7 , and heads north for 1 mile ( 1 . 6 km ) . After that , the route starts heading east again , and becomes PA 198 after crossing the Ohio Pennsylvania state line . The majority of the road is next to farmland . The highest traffic count is in Jefferson , where 2 , 260 vehicles travel on the road on average . The lowest traffic count is near the state line , where 330 vehicles travel on the road on average . History SR 167 was designated in 1923 as a short connector from SR 7 to the Pennsylvania state line east of Richmond Center , an unincorporated village . In 1928 , the route was rerouted from Jefferson to the Pennsylvania state line east of Pierpoint . The new western terminus was in SR 46 84 ( now SR 307 ) in Jefferson , and the eastern terminus was the state line , north of Richmond Center . The route became concurrent with US 6 beginning in 1932 , between SR 7 and the Pennsylvania state line . In 1939 , the highway was rerouted north of its concurrency with US 6 , replacing SR 538 . In about 1969 , SR 11 opened at SR 167 as an at grade intersection , and seven years later , an interchange replaced the intersection . Between 1979 and 1981 , the route was rerouted to the north side of Jefferson to its current alignment . Major intersections The entire route is in Ashtabula County .

State Route 97 ( SR 97 ) is a 10 . 91 mile long ( 17 . 56 km ) state highway in the U.S. state of Arizona . It runs from U.S. Route 93 ( US 93 ) northwest of Congress northeast to SR 96 southeast of Bagdad . The road was built by the late 1930s and improved during the late 1940s . Established as a state route in 1962 , SR 97 was paved in the early 1970s . In 2000 , the highway was officially added to the State Highway system . Route description The route begins at an intersection with US 93 northwest of Congress and southeast of Nothing . Beginning at US 93 southbound , SR 97 crosses US 93 northbound after several feet . It crosses through a desert region in a northeasterly direction , meeting a dirt road that connects back to US 93 . SR 97 curves northward before heading eastward at an intersection with Burro Creek Road . Again turning northeastward , the roadway meets various local roads , most of them dirt . The highway meets its northern terminus at SR 96 , which continues northwestward toward Bagdad . The highway is maintained by the Arizona Department of Transportation ( ADOT ) who is responsible for constructing and maintaining highways in the state . As part of this role , ADOT surveys volumes of traffic on their highways . These surveys are most often presented in the form of annual average daily traffic ( AADT ) , which is the number of vehicles that travel a road during an average day during the year . In 2009 , ADOT calculated that an average of only 550 vehicles used the road daily . No part of the highway has been listed in the National Highway System , a system of roads in the United States important to the nation 's economy , defense , and mobility . History The section of the SR 97 northeast of Burro Creek Road had been built by 1939 . Between 1946 and 1951 , the section north of Burro Creek Road was improved and the section south built as a graded road . The road was logged as a state route in 1962 along its current routing , connecting SR 96 to the rest of the state highway system . The highway was then paved throughout its entirety in 1973 . In 2000 , the route was slightly realigned because of a widening project on US 93 from a two lane highway to a four lane divided highway . That same year , SR 97 officially became a State Highway . Junction list The entire route is in Yavapai County .

Route 246 is a 15 . 002 mile long ( 24 . 143 km ) east west highway in extreme northern Missouri . The western terminus is at Route 148 in Hopkins . The route travels eastward to supplemental Route E , where it becomes concurrent and starts traveling south . It then continues east to its terminus at Route 46 east of Sheridan . Formerly a spur route of Route 46 and supplemental Route D , Route 246 was designated around 1954 , and was extended west to Hopkins in 1955 . Route description All of Route 246 is a two lane undivided highway . It starts at Route 148 as McPherson Street in Hopkins and heads eastward . The road soon leaves Hopkins and enters widespread farmlands . Less than a mile later , Route 246 meets the northern terminus of Route AC , a supplemental route . The route continues eastward for several miles , until it intersects Route E. There , it becomes concurrent with Route E , and moves south for two miles . After the route leaves Route E , it continues east towards Sheridan . The road passes through more farmland with a few trees , and crosses into Worth County . Near Sheridan , Route 246 shifts slightly north , and continues east toward the center of the village . Route 246 intersects the southern terminus of Route H , and leaves Sheridan . The road crosses over the One Hundred and Two River and shifts back southward . The route ends at Route 46 at a T intersection a few miles east of Sheridan . The highest traffic count is east of Sheridan , where 541 vehicles travel the road daily , on average . The lowest traffic count is along the four miles ( 6 . 4 km ) west of Route E , where 152 vehicles travel the road daily , on average . History Between 1918 and 1926 , Route 46 was extended to Sheridan . Soon after , in 1933 , it extended south , two miles east of Sheridan . The extension caused the road to Sheridan to become a spur route of Route 46 . The spur route was then extended west into unk County around 1948 1949 , and was numbered supplemental route D. Four years later , the route was extended to Route 27 ( now Route 148 ) . In 1954 , Route 246 was designated , starting from Sheridan , and ending at Route 46 . The next year , Route 246 was extended to replace supplemental route D as the main connector from Hopkins to Route 46 . The whole route was surfaced in concrete by 1959 . Major intersections

M 247 is a north south state trunkline highway in the US state of Michigan , connecting M 13 to the Bay City Recreation Area , entirely within Bangor Township . As a state trunkline , M 247 runs north from M 13 before turning to access the park , a distance of 3 . 036 miles ( 4 . 886 km ) . The highway carries just over 6 , 000 vehicles a day on average . The roadway has been part of the state trunkline highway system since the 1920s , and from 1961 until 1998 , it was the highest non Interstate highway in the state . Before it was given the M 247 designation , the roadway has been a part of M 111 and M 47 . Route description Starting at its southern terminus at M 13 , M 247 follows Euclid Avenue north about 2 . 7 miles ( 4 . 3 km ) , crossing the Kawkawlin River . When it meets Beaver Road , M 247 turns east leading directly into the state park and ends at its entrance . The entire roadway passes through suburban Bay City near the Saginaw Bay . None of the highway is listed on the National Highway System , a system of regionally important highways . The Michigan Department of Transportation ( MDOT ) measures the traffic volumes on its highways using a calculation called average annual daily traffic ( AADT ) . This value is an expression of the number of vehicles that use a section of roadway on any average day of the year . When the department surveyed M 247 in 2009 , the southernmost section near M 13 carried 6 , 135 vehicles the remainder carried 6 , 224 vehicles . As a subset of these figures , 190 commercial vehicles used the trunkline on average . This was an overall increase from 2008 when the sections carried 5 , 031 and 5 , 573 vehicles respectively , but a decrease from the 214 commercial vehicles . History By 1929 , the first highway designation along the current M 247 was assigned . That first number was M 111 , which lasted until 1937 when all of M 111 became part of M 47 . In early 1961 , the roadway changed numbers once more . This time M 47 was realigned to a former section of US Highway 10 ( US 10 ) , and the connection to the state park was assigned the M 247 designation . This was the highest highway number in the state , excluding Interstates , until the 1998 designation of M 553 in the Upper Peninsula . Major intersections The entire highway is in Bangor Township , Bay County .

Interstate 605 ( I 605 ) is the common designation given by local media outlets to several proposals for a new auxiliary Interstate Highway bypassing I 5 and I 405 in the U.S. state of Washington . Proposals have been heard from since the 1960s , including highways connecting from I 5 all the way to the Canada US border , and some just between I 5 and I 90 . The Washington State Department of Transportation ( WSDOT ) has no projects designated I 605 at this time . However , a project to convert State Route 18 ( SR 18 ) to a limited access freeway is under construction currently . Proposals Some of the first plans for a new Interstate Highway freeway , bypassing I 405 , surfaced in 1968 . The first proposal was to create a new highway between I 405 and the west banks of Lake Sammamish . Residents however forced the highway to the east banks of the lake after voicing their concerns . Residents on the east side of the lake voiced similar concerns and the plan was later dropped . In 1998 , the Washington State Legislature ordered a 500 , 000 study to investigate the benefits of extending SR 18 north to Everett through the Snoqualmie Valley . The plan was dropped as the study found that on average only five minutes would be saved over current routes . In 2002 , Bellevue Square owner Kemper Freeman , Jr. made his support known for a new freeway linking Snohomish County via the Snoqualmie Valley . Another 500 , 000 study was ordered in 2003 by the legislature , creating a new commerce corridor to link Lewis County in the south to the Canada US border in the north . However the study showed that a highway existing north of I 90 was not economically feasible . The study proposed a toll road only for trucks , since the presence of passenger cars would discourage truck drivers from using the new alternate route . The highway was estimated to cost between 13 . 5 and 19 billion . Related projects The state currently has no plans to build Interstate 605 . WSDOT however is widening SR 18 between I 5 and I 90 , with only the segment between the Issaquah Hobart Road and I 90 yet to be completed , creating a full limited access freeway between I 5 and I 90 , southeast of I 405 . While SR 18 has been a part of some I 605 proposals , it only allows drivers to bypass the Greater Seattle area on the southern and eastern sides .

State Route 372 ( SR 372 ) is a very short , two lane east west state highway in the southern part of the U.S. state of Ohio . The western terminus of this spur route is at a T intersection with the concurrency of U.S. Route 23 ( US 23 ) and SR 104 about six and a half miles ( 10 . 5 km ) north of Waverly . Its eastern terminus is just 0 . 68 miles ( 1 . 09 km ) to the east of that point at the boundary of Scioto Trail State Forest . Continuing east of that point is Stoney Creek Road , which traverses through the state forest in the direction of the Scioto River . From its inception in the middle of the 1930s , the primary function of SR 372 has been to provide access to the state forest from the state highway system . Route description The entirety of SR 372 is located within Franklin Township in rural southern Ross County . Beginning at a T intersection with the US 23 SR 104 concurrency , SR 372 travels easterly into a series of curves in the shape of an S , taking the route to the north and then bending to the southeast . As it passes amidst heavily wooded terrain with some houses alongside the roadway , SR 372 travels past an intersection with North Ridge Road , then abruptly comes to an end as it crosses the western boundary of Scioto Trail State Forest . The roadway continues eastward from this point as Stoney Creek Road . The Ohio Department of Transportation ( ODOT ) regularly does surveys to determine the amount of traffic that utilizes its highway system . Commonly , the volumes measured in these surveys are expressed in terms average annual daily traffic ( AADT ) , or the amount of traffic volume on a given segment of a highway on any average day of the year . In 2010 , ODOT determined that an average of 340 passenger vehicles per day and 20 commercial vehicles per day used SR 372 . This state route is not a part of the National Highway System , a network of roadways identified as being most important for the economy , mobility and defense of the nation . History The SR 372 designation was established in 1934 . Throughout its entire history , the highway has served to provide a connection to Scioto Trail State Forest from US 23 . When it was first designated , all of SR 372 was gravel surfaced . The state route was paved by 1958 . Major intersections The entire route is in Franklin Township , Ross County .

Delaware Route 17 ( DE 17 ) is a two lane undivided state highway located in Sussex County , Delaware . The route runs in a northeast southwest direction between DE 54 in Selbyville and DE 26 west of Millville , crossing DE 20 in Roxana . It is called Bethany Road within Selbyville and Roxana Road for the remainder of its length . The route passes through rural areas of southeastern Sussex County . DE 17 serves to connect Selbyville with the Bethany Beach area . The route was built as a state highway in the 1920s and received the DE 17 designation by 1938 . Route description DE 17 begins at an intersection with DE 54 in the town of Selbyville , where it heads northeast on Bethany Road . The route is a two lane , undivided , asphalt road that runs through flat areas of the Atlantic coastal plain its entire length . From the southern terminus , the road passes several homes before leaving Selbyville . At this point , DE 17 enters a mix of farmland and woodland with some homes . Here , the name of road becomes Roxana Road . Upon reaching the community of Roxana , the roadway crosses DE 20 . After DE 20 , the road continues through rural areas . Following a turn to the north , the route comes to its terminus at an intersection with DE 26 to the west of Millville . In 2011 , DE 17 had an annual average daily traffic count ranging from a high of 4 , 343 vehicles at the unk Road intersection to a low of 2 , 608 vehicles at the DE 20 intersection . None of DE 17 is part of the National Highway System . The portion of DE 17 between unk Road and Peppers Corner Road serves as part of a hurricane evacuation route from the coastal community of South Bethany , providing an alternate to DE 26 to the north . History By 1920 , what is now DE 17 was under construction as an unnumbered paved state highway between Selbyville and Roxana , with a small section of paved state highway complete near Roxana . It was also designated as a state aid road , a road that was to receive funding from the state to be built as a state highway by the county , from Roxana north to Millville . All of the route had been completed as an unnumbered paved state highway by 1924 . DE 17 was designated by 1938 to run from DE 54 in Selbyville to DE 26 near Millville . The route has remained on the same alignment since . Major intersections The entire route is in Sussex County .

State Route 745 ( SR 745 ) is a state route in central Ohio that runs in a north northwesterly direction along the west bank of the Scioto River . Its southern terminus is at the concurrency of U.S. Route 33 ( US 33 ) and SR 161 in Dublin , and it runs for approximately ten miles ( 16 km ) to Concord Township in Delaware County , where it arrives at its northern terminus at the concurrency of US 42 and SR 257 . SR 745 was designated in 1937 , and its routing has not changed since . Route description SR 745 commences at the signalized intersection between the concurrent US 33 and SR 161 and High Street in Dublin . Running north from there , the two lane state highway passes through a residential portion of the northwestern Columbus suburb . After crossing underneath a lengthy bridge that takes Interstate 270 over SR 745 , the Scioto River and SR 257 , the state route meets Emerald Parkway at a traffic signal . Now running in a north northwesterly direction , SR 745 passes through a roundabout at Brand Road , then continues on through a residential setting up to the point where it crosses from Franklin County into Delaware County . Still within the city limits of Dublin , SR 745 makes its way up to a signalized intersection with Glick Road , just west of the O 'Shaughnessy Dam , where the Scioto River widens out into the O 'Shaughnessy Reservoir . Entering into Shawnee Hills , the state highway passes through a primarily commercial district , in parallel to the reservoir . SR 745 departs Shawnee Hills , and as it enters into rural Concord Township , it meets Harriott Drive , then crosses over a western arm of the O 'Shaughnessy Reservoir . Continuing north northwesterly , the state highway passes intersections with Cook Road and Merchant Road before arriving at a four way stop intersection with Home Road . Now passing amidst a rural backdrop with a mix of woods , farmland and occasional houses , SR 745 intersects Duffy Road and Moore Road prior to arriving at its northern terminus , a signalized intersection with US 42 and SR 257 in Concord Township . SR 257 , which crosses the Scioto River with US 42 just to the east of this junction , picks up where SR 745 leaves off heading northward from US 42 . History SR 745 was established in 1937 along its current routing , and has not seen any significant changes since its inception . Major intersections

State Route 225 ( SR 225 ) is an 11 . 32 mile ( 18 . 22 km ) long two lane state highway located entirely in Benton County , Washington , United States . The highway travels over the Benton City Kiona Bridge , which is listed on the Washington Heritage Register and National Register of Historic Places , over the Yakima River . After turning through Benton City , the highway parallels the river for the remainder of the route . Several different proposals have been introduced to alleviate traffic flow issues at the SR 224 SR 225 interchange . Route description SR 225 starts at a t intersection with SR 224 just north of the Interstate 82 U.S. Route 12 interchange in south Benton City . The highway passes over the Yakima River on the Benton City Kiona Bridge , which is listed on the Washington Heritage Register and the National Register of Historic Places . After a brief turn to the west , the highway resumes northerly into Benton City , serving as the main street through town . The Yakima River continues to parallel the highway as it exits town , passing between a hill on the west side and the river , followed by Horn Rapids County Park on the east until the highways terminus at SR 240 . Every year the Washington State Department of Transportation ( WSDOT ) conducts a series of surveys on its highways in the state to measure traffic volume . This is expressed in terms of average annual daily traffic ( AADT ) , which is a measure of traffic volume for any average day of the year . In 2009 , WSDOT calculated that as few as 1 , 000 cars used the highway at the terminus at SR 240 , and as many as 7 , 800 cars at the interchange with SR 224 . History SR 225 was added to the highway logs during the 1991 legislative session , and since then the only major changes to the highway have been the replacement of the bridge over a drainage canal about 0 . 27 miles ( 0 . 43 km ) from the western terminus of the highway . WSDOT is studying several different proposed changes to the SR 224 SR 225 interchange to improve traffic flow , including unk the intersection , moving the off ramp from I 84 and making a 5 way stop , and multiple different roundabout solutions , which are the WSDOT preferred methods of improving the intersection . Costs are estimated to be between 2 , 000 , 000 and 7 , 400 , 000 . Major intersections The entire highway is in Benton County .

K 41 is a 4 . 960 mile long ( 7 . 982 km ) state highway in the U.S. state of Kansas . Located entirely within Ottawa County , the highway runs from the eastern city limit of Delphos to U.S. Route 81 ( US 81 ) . A designation of K 41 existed in the early 1930s in southwestern Kansas . The current designation was established following the older designation 's removal . Route description The route begins at the eastern city limit of Delphos , near a junction with Strickler Avenue . The road continues west through Delphos as 5th Street . Heading east , the route passes by the Delphos Cemetery before an intersection with 100th Road . Following an intersection with 110th Road , K 41 dips slightly south before intersecting County Route 781 . The route ends at US 81 at an intersection . The road continues east as Volunteer Road toward Oak Hill . K 41 is a two lane highway along its entire route . The route is maintained by the Kansas Department of Transportation ( KDOT ) , who is responsible for constructing and maintaining highways in the state . As part of this role , KDOT regularly surveys traffic on their highways . These surveys are most often presented in the form of annual average daily traffic , which is the number of vehicles that use a highway during an average day of the year . In 2010 , KDOT calculated that around 705 vehicles used the road daily near Delphos , including 85 trucks , whereas only 410 vehicles used K 41 daily near US 81 . No part of the highway has been listed as part of the National Highway System , a network of roads important to the nation 's defence , mobility , and economy . History The first designation for K 41 was implemented by 1927 and ran from K 12 near Protection north to US 54 in Bucklin . At this time , the entire route was only a dirt road . By 1932 , K 12 was truncated , which left K 41 's southern terminus at US 160 in Protection . By 1936 , a section of the route north of Protection was surfaced with gravel . Another section from US 54 to US 154 which was added by that year was also improved . This route was renumbered to K 34 the next year . By January 1938 , the current designation for K 41 was established along a gravel road . By 1941 , the road had been paved in its entirety . Since then , the route has not undergone any designation changes . Major intersections The entire route is in Ottawa County .

Pennsylvania Route 112 was a 4 . 75 mile ( 7 . 64 km ) long state highway located in Delaware and Chester counties in Pennsylvania . Running along current day Cheyney Road , PA 112 began at an intersection with U.S. Route 1 in Markham , headed northward , and terminated at an intersection with Pennsylvania Route 926 in the community of Tanguy . PA 112 was assigned in the commonwealth 's numbering of state highways in 1928 . The route remained intact for thirteen years , when , in 1941 , the highway was extended southward to U.S. Route 322 south of Markham . The route remained for another five years , when the route was removed from the state highway system completely . The road south of Creek Road in Chester County is still state maintained as SR unk . Route description Pennsylvania Route 112 began at an intersection with U.S. Route 322 ( now an intersection with Concord Road ) in the community of Markham . The route progressed northward as Cheyney Road , intersecting with several local roads before passing the Newlin Grist Mill Park near the intersection with U.S. Route 1 ( the Baltimore Pike ) . After that intersection , PA 112 turned to the northeast , passing through Markham before leaving the community . PA 112 went through the community of Thornton , intersecting with Glen Mills Road . At an intersection with Thornton Road , the route crossed into Chester County , but left quickly for Delaware County again . North of the community of Cheyney , Route 112 crossed the county line , passing the Cheyney University of Pennsylvania before the terminus at an intersection with Pennsylvania Route 926 in the Chester County community of Tanguy . History Route 112 was first assigned in the 1928 state numbering of state highways in Pennsylvania . The route , when originally assigned , did start in Markham , but at an intersection with U.S. Route 1 . The route 's northern terminus remained the same in the route 's entire lifetime . In 1941 , the southern terminus was adjusted from the intersection with U.S. Route 1 ( the Baltimore Pike ) to an intersection with U.S. Route 322 near Markham . Although they made the adjustment , PA 112 ended up becoming one of the many routes decommissioned in 1946 , when the commonwealth of Pennsylvania removed several hundred miles from their system . The designation has not been re used since the 1946 removal . Major intersections

New York State Route 312 ( NY 312 ) is a short but important state highway located entirely within the town of Southeast in Putnam County , New York , in the United States . It allows access , albeit indirectly , to the village of Brewster from Interstate 84 ( I 84 ) via a less complicated exit than the nearby I 684 exit , and is often heavily used for this purpose at rush hour by local residents . The western terminus of the route is at U.S. Route 6 ( US 6 ) roughly 2 miles ( 3 . 2 km ) northwest of Brewster . The eastern terminus is at NY 22 in the hamlet of Sears Corners . NY 312 was originally assigned to what is now NY 164 as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York before being shifted south to its current location c . 1937 . Route description NY 312 begins at US 6 in Southeast , New York just northeast of Middle Branch Reservoir , one of the many reservoirs in Putnam County which supply New York City 's large need for drinking water . The route heads northeast , before veering to the north after a 0 . 5 mile ( 0 . 8 km ) to bypass a hill 680 feet ( 210 m ) high . Past the hill , the route curves eastward then northeastward as it meets I 84 by way of an interchange and approaches the hamlet of Dykemans . In Dykemans , NY 312 serves the Metro North Railroad 's Southeast station , located on the railroad 's Harlem Line . Just north of the station , NY 312 turns almost due east as it crosses the Harlem Line at grade and exits Dykemans . 0 . 5 miles ( 0 . 8 km ) from the railroad crossing , the route intersects North Brewster Road ( County Road 58 or CR 58 ) and Farm to Market Road ( CR 62 ) in the hamlet of Brewster Hill . From here , it travels along the northern edge of Bog Brook Reservoir , another large reservoir which supplies drinking water to New York City . NY 312 proceeds east to the hamlet of Sears Corners , where it terminates at NY 22 . History All of modern NY 312 was originally designated as part of NY 52 in the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York . At the same time , the NY 312 designation was assigned to the entirety of what is now NY 164 . The NY 312 designation was shifted 3 miles ( 5 km ) southward to its current alignment c . 1937 after NY 52 was truncated to Carmel . No changes have been made to NY 312 's alignment since that time . Major intersections The entire route is in Southeast , Putnam County .

Dynamic Science Stories was a pulp magazine which published two issues , dated February and April 1939 . A companion to Marvel Science Stories , it was edited by Robert O. Erisman and published by Western Fiction Publishing . Among the better known authors who appeared in its pages were L. Sprague de Camp and Manly Wade Wellman . Publication history and contents Although science fiction had been published before the 1920s , it did not begin to coalesce into a separately marketed genre until the appearance in 1926 of Amazing Stories , a pulp magazine published by Hugo Gernsback . By the end of the 1930s the field was booming . In 1938 Abraham and Martin Goodman , two brothers who owned a publishing company with multiple imprints , launched Marvel Science Stories , edited by Robert O. Erisman . In February of the following year they added Dynamic Science Stories as a companion magazine intended to run longer stories . The contents were typical pulp science fiction , with few memorable stories . Science fiction historians Joseph Marchesani and Mike Ashley identify only three stories of quality Nelson S. Bond 's The Message from the Void ( published under the pseudonym Hubert unk ) L. Sprague de Camp 's Ananias and Manly Wade Wellman 's Insight . The cover for the first issue was painted by Frank R. Paul , a popular cover artist recently returned to the science fiction field Norman Saunders provided the second cover . Dynamic 's sister magazine , Marvel Science Stories , often published stories with more sexual content than was usual for science fiction magazines of the day , but , although Dynamic 's advertising included books offering sexual advice , the magazine 's actual content was more traditional pulp material . The magazine only lasted two issues , though it is not known whether this was because of poor sales or if the cancellation was a reflection of the whim of the publisher , in Ashley 's words . Bibliographic details The publisher of Dynamic Science Stories was Western Fiction Publishing Co . , based in Chicago , with editorial offices in Radio City , New York . There was one volume of two numbers . Both issues were in pulp format , 112 pages long , and priced at 15 cents . There was a British reprint edition of the first issue it appeared in 1939 and was undated . The editor of both issues was Robert O. Erisman , who was not credited in the magazine .

Bosa ( died c . 705 ) was an Anglo Saxon Bishop of York during the 7th and early 8th centuries . He was educated at Whitby Abbey , where he became a monk . Following Wilfrid 's removal from York in 678 the diocese was divided into three , leaving a greatly reduced see of York , to which Bosa was appointed bishop . He was himself removed in 687 and replaced by Wilfrid , but in 691 Wilfrid was once more ejected and Bosa returned to the see . He died in about 705 , and subsequently appears as a saint in an 8th century liturgical calendar . Life Bosa was a Northumbrian , educated at Whitby Abbey under the abbess Hilda . He subsequently joined the monastery as a monk , and became one of five men educated at Whitby who went on to become bishops . In 678 , after Wilfrid was removed from the bishopric of York and banished from Northumbria , the diocese of York was divided into three . Bosa was appointed to the now greatly reduced diocese of York , which included the sub kingdom of Deira , thanks to the support of King Ecgfrith of Northumbria and Theodore of Tarsus , the Archbishop of Canterbury . Bosa was consecrated in his cathedral at York in 678 by Theodore , but Wilfrid declared that he was unable to work with Bosa because he did not consider him to be a member of the Catholic Church . Bosa 's episcopate lasted nine years , but with Wilfrid back in favour , in 687 Bosa was removed just as his predecessor had been . He returned to York in 691 , after Wilfrid was once again expelled . While bishop , Bosa introduced a communal life for the clergy of the cathedral , and set up a continuous liturgy in the cathedral . Death and legacy The date of Bosa 's death is unknown he was still alive in 704 but must have died before 706 , when his successor was named . His successor at York was John of Beverley , the Bishop of Hexham . A contemporary writer , Bede , praised Bosa as a man of singular merit and sanctity . Bede also praised Bosa 's humility . Bosa was also responsible for the early education of Acca , later Bishop of Hexham , who grew up in his household . Bosa appears as a saint in an 8th century liturgical calendar from York , the only sign that he was venerated as a saint before the Norman Conquest of England . The 16th century English antiquary John Leland included Bosa in his list of saint 's resting places in England , giving it as York . Bosa 's feast day is 9 March .

Lake Neepaulin is a small man made freshwater lake located in Wantage Township in Sussex County , New Jersey in the United States . Located in the watershed of Papakating Creek , a tributary of the Wallkill River , the lake was created in the 1950s by damming an unnamed mountain stream as the feature of a private residential development . The stream , now known as Neepaulakating Creek , did not receive a name until 2002 . Description Lake Neepaulin is a man made lake created from the damming of Neepaulakating Creek , a small mountain stream that was not named until 2002 . The creek 's headwaters are located approximately 0 . 4 miles ( 0 . 6 km ) northwest of the north end of Lake Neepaulin . These headwaters are located a short distance south of County Route 650 ( Libertyville Road ) roughly halfway between the hamlet of unk in Wantage Township and Sussex Borough . Lake Neepaulin 's elevation is 509 feet ( unk ) above sea level . The lake is the center of a private residential development . From the dam , the creek flows southeast for 1 . 5 miles ( 2 . 4 km ) before flowing into Papakating Creek , a tributary of the Wallkill River . The creek , lake , and its watershed are located in the Kittatinny Valley which is underlain by dark shale and limestone of the Martinsburg Formation and has soils that are glacial in origin . According to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection ( NJDEP ) , two developed lake communities in the Papakating Creek watershed Lake Neepaulin and the nearby Clove Acres Lake contribute to phosphorus loading in the waters of Papakating Creek . The phosphorus loading may originate from the runoff of fertilizer applications on residential lawns , nearby agricultural operations , or from large populations of geese that inhabit the lakes . History In the 1950s , a real estate developer dammed an unnamed stream located to the west and south of Sussex Borough and created Lake Neepaulin . The lake was the center of a planned private lakeside residential community . The lake 's name is an amalgamation of the names of the original developer 's children . In 2014 , Wantage Township acquired the lake from the former non profit management organization and has opened designated public areas to township residents for recreation . In acquiring the property , the municipality assumed responsibility for repayment of a 1 . 2 million dam restoration loan from the NJDEP .

State Route 96 ( SR 96 ) , is an east west , 21 . 79 mile long ( 35 . 07 km ) state highway in central part of the U.S. state of Arizona . It runs from Bagdad east to Yavapai County Road 15 ( CR 15 ) near Hillside . The road was built in the late 1930s and logged as a state route from Bagdad to Hillside in 1962 . The section from Bagdad to SR 97 was never officially part of the State Highway system , though the remainder of the highway was officially designated as such at the turn of the century . Route description SR 96 begins at an intersection with Old Dick Road in Bagdad . Approximately four miles ( 6 . 4 km ) to the east is a junction with SR 97 , which heads south to meet U.S. Route 93 ( US 93 ) . From the SR 97 intersection , SR 96 heads east through a desert area . The roadway then turns southward , and after intersecting Santa Maria River Road , it crosses the Santa Maria River and turns slightly southeastward . Through a hilly area , SR 96 turns eastward and passes through a series of hairpin turns . The highway ends at the west end of CR 15 at the intersection with Hillside Road . The road continues east as CR 15 ( Bagdad Road ) towards Prescott . The highway is maintained by the Arizona Department of Transportation ( ADOT ) who is responsible for constructing and maintaining highways in the state . As part of this role , ADOT surveys volumes of traffic on their highways . These surveys are most often presented in the form of annual average daily traffic ( AADT ) , which is the number of vehicles that travel a road during an average day during the year . In 2009 , ADOT calculated that an average of only 450 vehicles used the road daily at both termini . No part of the highway has been listed in the National Highway System , a system of roads in the United States important to the nation 's economy , defense , and mobility . History A road connecting Bagdad to Hillside was built by 1939 . The road was logged into the state highway system in 1962 , its extent defined from Hillside to Bagdad . In 1981 , a right of way was acquired for the improvement of approaches and bridges on the route . In 2000 , the portion of the route from SR 97 to its eastern terminus was officially added to the State Highway system . Although some signage west of the SR 97 junction exists , that portion is not officially part of the state highway . Junction list The entire route is in Yavapai County .

State Route 357 ( SR 357 ) is a 2 . 353 mile long ( 3 . 787 km ) north south state highway in the northern portion of U.S. state of Ohio . Existing entirely on South Bass Island in Lake Erie , the highway begins at its southern terminus of West Shore Boulevard , about 0 . 75 miles ( 1 . 21 km ) west of Put in Bay . SR 357 then travels northeast to its northern terminus at a dead end at Lake Erie , approximately 2 miles ( 3 . 2 km ) east of Put in Bay . SR 357 is one of two Ohio state routes on Lake Erie islands . Though this two lane route travels predominantly east west , it once extended to the mainland of Ohio via the Catawba Island ferry , which is why it carries a north south routing . Route description The entirety of SR 357 exists within the confines of South Bass Island in Lake Erie . It is located within Put in Bay Township in Ottawa County . In 2012 , between 490 and 590 vehicles travel on the road on average each day . SR 357 begins at West Shore Boulevard , and travels southwestward . The route passes by Oak Point State Park , and becomes part of Bayview Avenue . SR 357 then intersects County Route 163 , which leads to the Put in Bay Airport , and the Put in Bay Catawba Island ferry . The route later leaves Put in Bay , near Perry 's Victory and International Peace Memorial . SR 357 turns northeast to Columbus Avenue , and later ends at a dead end near the lake , next to a driveway . History The SR 357 designation was created in 1934 . At the time , the highway was routed along the entirety of its present alignment on South Bass Island . However , in 1946 , when SR 53 was extended northerly from Port Clinton to end at its present northern terminus in Catawba Island , SR 357 was simultaneously extended south onto the mainland via the ferry that connects Put in Bay with Catawba Island , then south along SR 53 to a new southern terminus at SR 2 east of Port Clinton . By 1969 , all of the 1946 extension of SR 357 was eliminated , with the Put in Bay Catawba Island ferry becoming a connector between the southern end of SR 357 and the northern endpoint of SR 53 , and the mainland portion of SR 357 becoming just SR 53 . By 1973 , the Put in Bay Catawba Island ferry docked on the south side of South Bass Island , ending the direct access to ferry docks and the rest of the state highway system from SR 357 . Major intersections The entire route is in Ottawa County .

M 154 is a state trunkline highway in the U.S. state of Michigan . It is entirely on Harsens Island at the mouth of the St. Clair River . It is one of only three trunklines in Michigan on islands . The other two are M 134 on Drummond Island and M 185 on Mackinac Island . Access to Harsens Island and M 154 is provided by ferry which runs year round . The highway was first designated in 1931 , and realigned on the island within the next two years . Route description M 154 begins where Green Road merges with South Channel Drive on Harsens Island at the mouth of the St. Clair River . From there the road travels northward around the east edge of the island for about 2 . 5 miles ( 4 . 0 km ) before it cuts a block inland . It continues on to the northeast , still as Green Road until it reaches an intersection with La Croix Road , at which point it turns northwest . It continues on this path before curving back around to the northeast on Columbine Street where it continues up to an intersection with Channel Drive , where it turns west and terminates at the Harsens Island Ferry dock . The road runs primarily through sparsely populated areas except where it abuts the shore lines where denser housing exists . Like other state highways in Michigan , M 154 is maintained by the Michigan Department of Transportation ( MDOT ) . In 2011 , the department 's traffic surveys showed that on average , 1 , 137 vehicles used the highway daily . No section of M 154 is listed on the National Highway System , a network of roads important to the country 's economy , defense , and mobility . Like M 154 , there are two other highways located on islands in the state , M 134 connects by ferry across the DeTour Passage to Drummond Island , and M 185 is located on Mackinac Island . History M 154 has existed on Harsens Island since 1931 . The original routing started in the northeast corner of the island travelling down Channel Drive to Little Avenue , which does not exist in its entirety today . From here it the connected LaCroix Road and matched up with the present day alignment at this point . In late 1932 or early 1933 , rather than routing M 154 onto Little Avenue , it was rerouted along LaCroix Road where it curves onto Columbine Street to North Channel Road where it terminates at the present day ferry dock . Major intersections The entire highway is on Harsens Island , St. Clair unk entire highway is in none .

Puck ( unk unk ) is an inner moon of Uranus . It was discovered in December 1985 by the Voyager 2 spacecraft . The name Puck follows the convention of naming Uranus 's moons after characters from Shakespeare . The orbit of Puck lies between the rings of Uranus and the first of Uranus 's large moons , Miranda . Puck is approximately spherical in shape and has diameter of about 162 km . It has a dark , heavily cratered surface , which shows spectral signs of water ice . Discovery and naming Puck the largest inner moon of Uranus was discovered from the images taken by Voyager 2 on 30 December 1985 . It was given the temporary designation S 1985 U 1 . The moon was later named after the character Puck who appears in Shakespeare 's A Midsummer Night 's Dream , a little sprite who travels around the globe at night with the fairies . In Celtic mythology and English folklore , a Puck is a mischievous sprite , imagined as an evil demon by Christians . It is also designated Uranus XV . Physical characteristics Puck is the largest small inner moon of Uranus , which orbits inside the orbit of Miranda . It is intermediate in size between Portia ( the second largest inner moon ) and Miranda ( the smallest of the five large classical moons ) . Puck 's orbit is located between the rings of Uranus and Miranda . Little is known about Puck aside from its orbit , radius of about 81 km , and geometric albedo in visible light of approximately 0 . 11 . Of the moons discovered by the Voyager 2 imaging team , only Puck was discovered early enough that the probe could be programmed to image it in some detail . Images showed that Puck has a shape of a slightly prolate spheroid ( ratio between axes is 0 . 97 0 . 04 ) . Its surface is heavily cratered and is grey in color . There are three named craters on the surface of Puck , the largest being about 45 km in diameter . Observations with the Hubble Space Telescope and large terrestrial telescopes found water ice absorption features in the spectrum of Puck . Nothing is known about the internal structure of Puck . It is probably made of a mixture of water ice with the dark material similar to that found in the rings . This dark material is probably made of rocks or radiation processed organics . The absence of craters with bright rays implies that Puck is not differentiated , meaning that ice and non ice components have not separated from each other into a core and mantle .

State Route 117 ( SR 117 ) is a short , 1 . 40 mile ( 2 . 25 km ) long state highway located entirely within Port Angeles , the county seat of unk County , in the U.S. state of Washington . The short roadway , named the Tumwater Truck Route , serves the waterfront of Port Angeles and intersects two streets and crosses under another street on a short bridge . Beginning at an interchange with U.S. Route 101 ( US 101 ) , the highway travels northeast to terminate at Marine Drive . SR 117 was first established in 1991 , but a road parallel to the current roadway had existed since 1966 . Route description SR 117 begins as the Tumwater Truck Road at an interchange with U.S. Route 101 ( US 101 ) in southwest Port Angeles . The interchange only serves traffic from US 101 eastbound driving onto SR 117 northbound and motorists driving from the route southbound onto US 101 westbound , however , left turns are allowed to serve the missing movements . Traveling north , the highway intersects Lauridsen Boulevard and crosses under 8th Street . Between 8th Street and the Port Angeles waterfront , a daily average of 7 , 400 motorists accessed the roadway in 2008 . After the 8th Street bridge , the road intersects 3rd Street and terminates at Marine Drive , which continues east as 1st Street to US 101 . History SR 117 originated in 1991 , but a short local street connecting the waterfront with U.S. Route 101 ( US 101 ) had existed in 1966 . In 1991 , the Washington State Legislature established SR 117 and the roadway has not been realigned since 1991 . During a severe winter storm on November 27 , 2006 , the Port Angeles Police Department closed both ends of the highway due to treacherous conditions . On December 15 , 2006 , a wind unk caused trees near the roadway to block the highway and the route had to be shut down . On August 7 , 2007 , the city of Port Angeles announced that the 8th Street bridge over the Tumwater Truck Route would be closed on August 20 , 2007 . A detour was set for both 8th Street and the truck route trucks were routed onto US 101 ( Lincoln Street ) and Marine Drive Front Street . Starting on April 1 , 2008 , the new bridge 's girders started to arrive at the construction site . The last girders arrived on April 9 and the highway was reopened . On August 1 , the roadway was closed for another month to be reconstructed . Major intersections The entire highway is in Port Angeles , unk County .

16 Cygni Bb or HD unk b is an extrasolar planet approximately 69 light years away in the constellation of Cygnus . The planet was discovered orbiting the Sun like star 16 Cygni B , one of two solar mass ( M ) components of the triple star system 16 Cygni . It makes one revolution every 799 days and was the first eccentric Jupiter and planet in a triple star system to be discovered . Discovery In October 1996 the discovery of a planetary mass companion to the star 16 Cygni B was announced , with a mass at least 1 . 68 times that of Jupiter ( MJ ) . At the time , it had the highest orbital eccentricity of any known extrasolar planet . The discovery was made by measuring the star 's radial velocity . As the inclination of the orbit cannot be directly measured and as no dynamic model of the system was then published , only a lower limit on the mass could then be determined . Orbit and mass Unlike the planets in the Solar System , the planet 's orbit is highly elliptical , and its distance varies from 0 . 54 AU at periastron to 2 . 8 AU at apastron . This high eccentricity may have been caused by tidal interactions in the binary star system , and the planet 's orbit may vary chaotically between low and high eccentricity states over a period of tens of millions of years . Preliminary astrometric measurements in 2001 suggested the orbit of 16 Cygni Bb may be highly inclined with respect to our line of sight ( at around 173 ) . This would mean the object 's mass may be around 14 MJ the dividing line between planets and brown dwarfs is at 13 MJ . However these measurements were later proved useful only for upper limits . A mathematical study in 2012 showed that a mass of about 2 . 4 MJ would be most stable in this system . This would make the body a true planet . With these tidal effects at that age , a gas giant would be most stable . Physical characteristics Because the planet has only been detected indirectly by measurements of its parent star , properties such as its radius , composition and temperature are unknown . Habitable zone The planet 's highly eccentric orbit means the planet would experience extreme seasonal effects . Despite this , simulations suggest that an Earth like moon would be able to support liquid water at its surface over the course of a year . Due to the eccentric orbit of this massive gas giant , it is unlikely that a habitable planet could survive in this system .

State Highway 112 ( SH 112 ) is a 27 . 802 mile long ( 44 . 743 km ) state highway in southern Colorado . Built in 1916 and formally defined in 1922 , the route begins at its western end in Del Norte at a junction with U.S. Highway 160 ( US 160 ) . From there the road travels east crossing US 285 two miles ( 3 . 2 km ) west of Center before reaching its eastern terminus at Hooper where it meets SH 17 . Route description The route begins at US 160 in central Del Norte . Here , it begins northward along Oak Street before crossing the Rio Grande , where the route exits the city and curves northeastward . The highway then straddles the Rio Grande Saguache county line as it travels in a northeasterly direction . Soon , it intersects County Route 374 , which traverses east all the way to US 285 . The route then suddenly curves eastward when it meets Twelve Mile Road . As the route continues to meet numerous county roads along its length , the land along the side of the road transitions from plain grassland to circular shaped fields of crops . The route meets US 285 approximately twelve miles east of Del Norte . East of US 285 , the route enters the town of Center , where it skirts the south side of town as 8th Street . Here , it meets a railroad that connects the town to Sugar Junction farther south . The route moves east through farmland , where it meets County Road 100 , which continues south to SH 15 . It then skirts along the county line all the way east to SH 17 at the north side of Hooper . History In 1916 , a 12 mile ( 19 km ) gravel road numbered as 10 S ran from Center to Hooper . Another unsurfaced part of the road continued to Alamosa from Hooper . By the late 1910s , the Highway Department of Colorado had built State Highway 68 , which ran from Del Norte to SH 36 . When built , the route had a five mile ( 6 . 0 km ) gap along the Rio Grande Saguache county line , on which work began in the 1920s . In 1922 , SH 68 was renumbered as SH 112 from Del Norte to Hooper . By 1930 , SH 112 had been paved from Del Norte to the county line . Because the residents of San Luis Valley sought better roads , the Department of Highways began improving SH 112 around the area , but the highway was not fully surfaced until 1946 . The next year , Rio Grande and Saguache counties paid to resurface the rest of the road in asphalt . Since 1947 , there have been no major realignments in the routing . Major intersections

32 Old Slip , also known as One Financial Square , is a skyscraper in the Financial District of New York City . Completed in 1987 , the building has 36 floors and stands at 575 ft 0 in ( 175 . 26 m ) . It is home to unk , AIG Global Real Estate , Goldman Sachs , the New York Regional Office of the United States Census Bureau , and the ground floor houses the New York City Fire Department ( FDNY ) Engine Company 4 and Ladder Company 15 . History The building site originally held the United States Assay Office , the last public gold refinery in the United States . It also melted damaged coins and incinerated damaged paper money . In 1983 , the United States Mint put the 42 , 176 square feet ( 3 , 918 . 3 m2 ) property up for auction . Beginning at US 3 million , the winning bid was made by HRO International Ltd . , a New York realty developer , at 27 million . The sale established it as the most valuable government estate sold at public auction . The Assay office building was demolished in 1986 . In 1987 , HRO built the 36 floor building that stands today , naming the 23 43 Old Slip property One Financial Square . The Paramount Group purchased the property for 135 million in 1995 , then in August 2007 sold it to Beacon Capital Partners for 751 million , which is one of the largest sales on record of an office building in Lower Manhattan . Like many buildings in Lower Manhattan , 32 Old Slip was battered with storm waters during Hurricane Sandy in 2012 . In contrast to most in the region , the building was designed to resist a powerful earthquake , which in part made the structure less prone to flooding . Within a year the building 's market value declined by 21 . 6 ( 65 . 7 million ) . In 2013 a renovation effort began to add improved flood barriers , pumps and piping systems to better ward against future storms . Architecture The building is considered to be postmodern . Four sides of granite and silver tinted glass make up the base , which give way to stepped transitions , eventually resulting in an octagonal , entirely glass curtain wall . The floor sizes range from 23 , 404 to 38 , 750 rentable square feet , totaling 1 , 161 , 435 rentable square feet . It consists of unk interior on each floor and a 40 ft 0 in ( 12 . 19 m ) lobby . There are 26 elevators in service and a parking garage beneath the structure . The ground level side and rear of the building feature a privately owned arcade and urban plaza .

State Route 168 ( SR 168 ) is a legislated , but not constructed , state highway located in Washington , United States . The highway is meant to serve as an alternate crossing through the Cascade Range , supplementing the seasonal Chinook Pass on SR 410 . Proposals were first drawn in the 1930s , and the highway has been codified in law under its current designation since 1970 , however no construction has occurred . Route description The highway is legislated to begin in Greenwater , in Pierce County , at a junction with SR 410 . The road would continue east through Mount Baker Snoqualmie National Forest , Naches Pass , and Wenatchee National Forest to its eastern terminus with SR 410 north of unk , in Yakima County . The highway would pass near Pyramid Peak , which has a maximum altitude of 5 , 718 ft ( 1 , 743 m ) . Currently , a crossing similar to the legislated highway is covered by a variety of Forest Routes , including Road 19 and Road 70 . Two main reasons for creating the highway exist . First , SR 168 would be an all season route through Naches Pass ( elevation 4 , 923 feet ( 1 , 501 m ) ) . SR 410 closes annually due to avalanche dangers near Chinook Pass ( elevation 5 , 430 feet ( 1 , 655 m ) ) . Second , SR 168 would allow commercial vehicles to bypass Mount Rainier National Park , where they are prohibited on SR 410 . The current restriction detours commercial traffic south to U.S. Route 12 over White Pass or north to Interstate 90 over Snoqualmie Pass . History Plans for a Naches Tunnel or highway date back to the early 1930s , designated as the Naches Pass Link of Primary State Highway 5 . The state legislature appropriated 50 thousand ( equivalent to 3 . 58 million in 2015 ) for a study on the feasibility of a new highway . In the early 1960s , Governor Albert Rosellini established a committee to study the feasibility of a toll road . The route was considered feasible by the committee , and they estimated tolls of 1 . 50 per vehicle ( equivalent to 28 . 00 in 2015 ) would need to be levied to pay for the highway . Proponents of the new highway were pushing to have U.S. Route 10 routed over the pass , away from the routing over Snoqualmie Pass however this never occurred . Ultimately , the highway was not built as the state considered the highway unfeasible . The highway has been codified in Washington law since 1970 , while the tunnel through Naches Pass has been codified in state law since 1959 .

State Route 251 ( SR 251 , now Northport Boundary Road ) is a former 10 . 86 mile ( 17 . 48 km ) long state highway in Stevens County , Washington . The highway began at SR 25 in Northport and continued northeast parallel to the Columbia River to Boundary , an unincorporated community , where it crossed the Canada United States border into British Columbia as British Columbia Highway 22A . SR 251 was originally a county road until 1913 , when it was added to the state highway system , but was later removed . The roadway was re added as an extension to an already existing state highway . In 1937 , it was reclassified as a secondary highway named Secondary State Highway 22A ( SSH 22A ) until 1964 , when it became SR 251 . In 1984 , control of the road was relinquished by the state to Stevens County and it was renamed Northport Boundary Road . Route description State Route 251 ( SR 251 ) , now known as the Northport Boundary Road or Boundary Highway , began in Northport at an at grade intersection at Center Street , known as SR 25 . The highway turned north from SR 25 and followed the Columbia River upstream as well a railroad owned by the Kettle Falls International Railway . The highway traveled northeast , then east through a series of hairpin turns before turning north to Boundary , an unincorporated community in Stevens County , where SR 251 entered Canadian customs and continued into British Columbia as British Columbia Highway 22A ( BC 22A ) . History SR 251 was once a county road connecting Northport with British Columbia that has existed since at least 1912 . In 1913 , it became part of the Inland Empire Highway , but was removed in 1915 . The road was transferred to county maintenance after removal from the state highway system . In 1931 , it was officially added to the state highway system as part of an extension of State Road 22 from Kettle Falls to British Columbia . In 1937 , it became Secondary State Highway 22A ( SSH 22A ) , a branch of Primary State Highway 22 ( PSH 22 ) . When Washington renumbered its highways in 1964 and switched to a new system , SSH 22A became SR 251 and PSH 22 became SR 25 . In 1983 , SR 251 was removed from the state highway system and control was relinquished to Stevens County . After it was turned over , Stevens County continues to maintain the roadway and no realignments or significant events have occurred . Major intersections The entire highway was in Stevens County .

Oregon Route 120 ( OR 120 ) is a 2 . 71 mile long ( 4 . 36 km ) unsigned state highway in the U.S. state of Oregon . The highway is internally known by the Oregon Department of Transportation ( ODOT ) as Swift Highway No. 120 . OR 120 runs from a Union Pacific railroad crossing near North Columbia Boulevard to an interchange with Interstate 5 ( I 5 ) and OR 99E . The Swift Highway No. 120 was created in 1931 , while the OR 120 designation was created in 2002 . Route description OR 120 begins at a Union Pacific railroad crossing north of an interchange with North Columbia Boulevard . The road continues northeast as North Portland Road and follows BNSF Railway tracks . About half of a mile ( 0 . 8 km ) from where the highway begins , OR 120 crosses the Columbia Slough Bridge . OR 120 continues to follow BNSF Railway tracks and passes through wetlands before having a T intersection with North Marine Drive . The road continues southeast as North Marine Drive , following the Columbia River shoreline . After the highway turns southeast , the road goes under the Oregon Slough Railroad Bridge . The highway ends at an intersection with OR 99E and the ramps for exit 307 on I 5 . The Portland Expo Center is located near this interchange . The highway is entirely within the city limits of Portland . OR 120 is unsigned for its entire length . OR 120 is internally known by ODOT as Swift Highway No. 120 . The entire length of OR 120 is part of the National Highway System , a network of roads important to the country 's economy , defense , and mobility . History The Swift Highway No. 120 was established as a secondary highway by the Oregon State Highway Commission on December 3 , 1931 . On November 22 , 1966 , a section of the Swift Highway between North Columbia Boulevard and an Oregon Washington Railroad and Navigation Company railroad crossing was truncated . During the Oregon Transportation Commission meeting in July 24 , 2002 , the commission approved the OR 120 designation to be placed on the Swift Highway . On July 22 , 2008 , maintenance for portions of the highway were transferred from ODOT to the city of Portland . The sections that were transferred are from the highway 's western terminus to the southeastern end of the Columbia Slough bridge , and the northeastern end of the Columbia Slough Bridge to the end of concrete pavement near the Portland Expo Center . Major intersections The entire route is in Portland , Multnomah County .

North Carolina Highway 2A ( NC 2A ) was a state highway located in southern Moore County , in the U.S. state of North Carolina . The highway traveled from an intersection with U.S. Route 1 ( US 1 ) , now May Street , northward through portions of Manly and Southern Pines to an intersection with NC 22 ( now US 1 ) . The highway was first listed as part of the Moore County road system by at least 1930 . The route was improved to a paved surface by 1936 . NC 2A was numbered sometime between 1945 and 1949 . By 1952 , it was cancelled and Highway 2 was designated over the route . It has since been numbered Secondary Road 2029 ( SR 2029 ) . Route description In 1951 , NC 2A started at an at grade intersection with US 1 ( North May Street ) in the southern portion of the community of Manly . From there , the highway ran northwesterly across the Seaboard Air Line Railroad to an intersection with a primitive trail ( now Clark Street ) in Southern Pines . The roadway continued northwestward to a bridge over a small , unnamed creek ( now nonexistent ) . Turning slightly westward , the road proceeded to its northern terminus , an intersection with NC 2 ( now an interchange with US 1 ) . History By 1930 , a highway in the location of NC 2A was added to the Moore County Highway System as a class C road , a county highway of the lowest importance . The entire length of the route was graded with an earthen surface , as was much of the highway system . During the mid 1930s , the route was designated as a primary county highway . The route was shifted slightly northerly and had been extended to approximately 0 . 9 miles ( 1 . 4 km ) in length , as well as being improved to an asphalt surface . Between then and 1938 , the route 's southern terminus was shifted southward and the entire length of the highway was resurfaced as bituminous . Between 1945 and 1949 , NC 2A was designated along Yadkin Road as a connector route between NC 2 and US 1 . During that same period the route was also slightly straightened near its southern terminus . By 1952 , NC 2A was decommissioned and replaced by NC 2 . The road was shortened to 0 . 74 miles ( 1 . 19 km ) in length , and its entire length was paved . NC 2 's route was replaced by NC 22 . By the next year , Yadkin Road has been shifted to its current location . Before 1972 , NC 2 was rerouted away from Yadkin Road and the route had been designated as SR 2029 . Major intersections The entire highway was in Moore County .

M 227 is a 6 . 834 mile ( 10 . 998 km ) north south state trunkline highway in the U.S. state of Michigan . It consists largely of a segment of old U.S. Highway 27 ( US 27 ) along the south and west sides of Marshall . The highway passes the airport and serves an industrial section of town north of the Kalamazoo River . M 227 was created as a part of a program to add additional routes into the state 's highway system under the leadership of Governor John Engler . Route description M 227 starts at a diamond interchange with Interstate 69 ( I 69 ) at exit 32 between Tekonsha and Marshall . From I 69 , M 227 runs east on F Drive South north of Pine and Long lakes for approximately one mile ( 1 . 6 km ) . The highway runs through agricultural land and turns north to follow Old US 27 17 Mile Road . At Division Drive , M 227 passes into Marshall on Kalamazoo Avenue . The highway runs past the Brooks Field airport and the unk Downs Golf Course . Kalamazoo Avenue crosses the Kalamazoo River , and M 227 turns west along Industrial Road . This section of town is an industrial park , and M 227 curves north onto West Drive , crossing the Norfolk Southern Railroad . The northern terminus is BL I 94 ( Michigan Avenue ) on the west side of Marshall , near I 69 . It lies only within Calhoun County and is entirely an undivided surface route . Like other state highways in Michigan , M 227 is maintained by the Michigan Department of Transportation ( MDOT ) . In 2011 , the department 's traffic surveys showed that on average , 8 . 408 vehicles used the highway daily in Marshall south of Industrial Dive and 1 , 862 vehicles did so each day along F Drive , the highest and lowest counts along the highway , respectively . No section of M 227 is listed on the National Highway System , a network of roads important to the country 's economy , defense , and mobility . History Before the completion of I 69 near Marshall in late 1967 , US 27 followed 17 Mile Road and Kalamazoo Avenue into Marshall . That routing was turned back to local control after the completion of I 69 to I 94 . M 227 came into existence nearly 35 years after the completion of I 69 in southern Michigan and , except for the section of old US 27 , was long a collection of unnumbered local surface roads . It was designated as a part of Governor John Engler 's Rationalization program on October 1 , 1998 and first signed in 2001 . Major intersections The entire highway is in Calhoun County .

The Japanese submarine I 179 ( originally I 79 ) was a Kaidai type cruiser submarine of the KD7 sub class built for the Imperial Japanese Navy ( IJN ) during the 1940s . She was lost with all hands when a valve was accidentally left open during her sea trials in July 1943 . Her wreck was later salvaged and scrapped in 1957 . Design and description The submarines of the KD7 sub class were medium range attack submarines developed from the preceding unk sub class . They displaced 1 , 862 metric tons ( 1 , 833 long tons ) surfaced and 2 , 644 metric tons ( 2 , 602 long tons ) submerged .

K 26 is a 3 . 601 mile long ( 5 . 795 km ) state highway located entirely within Cherokee County , Kansas . It runs from an intersection with U.S. Route 166 ( US 166 ) and US 400 northwest of the Missouri Kansas Oklahoma tripoint north to K 66 in Galena . The highway is maintained by the Kansas Department of Transportation ( KDOT ) . The route was designated in 1937 on a roadway that ran from Crestline to the Missouri state line , but was moved to its current location via a series of route re designations that took place over the following decades , assuming its current route in the mid 1980s . Route description K 26 begins at an intersection with US 166 and US 40 east of Baxter Springs . The roadway heads north through a wooded area , passing several farms . The route then crosses Shoal Creek and enters the city of Galena as Main Street . In Galena , K 26 reaches its northern terminus at K 66 , which is also known as 7th Street . Main Street continues north of the intersection toward a BNSF Railway line . The route is maintained by KDOT , which is responsible for constructing and maintaining highways in the state . As part of this role , KDOT regularly surveys traffic on their highways . These surveys are most often presented in the form of annual average daily traffic , which is a measurement of the number of vehicles that use a highway during an average day of the year . In 2010 , KDOT calculated that a total of unk vehicles used the road daily , including 225 trucks . No part of the highway has been listed as part of the National Highway System , a network of roads important to the nation 's defense , mobility , and economy . History K 26 was first designated in 1937 over the former eastern segment of K 34 , a gravel road that ran from K 96 and US 69 in Crestline east to the Missouri state line . In 1941 , K 26 and the easternmost portion of K 96 switch designations . After this , K 26 ran from US 66 west of Galena north to K 96 and US 69 . This roadway was paved when K 26 was designated along it . Between 1948 and 1953 , the highway was extended east along US 66 to Galena and south from there to its current southern terminus at US 166 . In the mid 1980s when US 66 was decommissioned , the portion of K 26 along it was re signed as K 66 and the portion of the highway from US 66 to Crestline was designated as part of U.S. Route 69 Alternate ( US 69 Alt ) . Major intersections The entire route is in Cherokee County .

The roadway travels northeast , paralleling cliffs , the Columbia River and the South Fork of the Naselle River to Naselle , ending at SR 4 . The road was designated Secondary State Highway 12B ( SSH 12 ) between 1937 and 1964 , when SR 401 was created to replace SSH 12B . The Astoria Megler Bridge , completed in 1966 , replaced a ferry east of the bridge , where the highway originally ended , and is known locally as Kingston Ferry Road . The roadway was extended west to the north end of the bridge , where it currently terminates . The former ferry terminal became the Dismal Nitch rest area , named after the Lewis and Clark Expedition 's description of the place . Route description SR 401 originates at an intersection with U.S. Route 101 ( US 101 ) at the north end of the Astoria Megler Bridge west of Megler and southeast of McGowan . Traveling northeast between cliffs and the Columbia River past the Dismal Nitch Safety rest area to Knappton , the highway turns north along more cliffs and the South Fork of the Naselle River . In Naselle , the South Fork merges with the Naselle River , which the roadway crosses over three times before terminating at SR 4 . The intersection with SR 4 is also the busiest segment of the road with an estimated daily average of 2 , 800 motorists , which has been decreasing from 3 , 100 motorists in 2005 . History Secondary State Highway 12B ( SSH 12B ) was created during the 1937 establishment of the Primary and secondary state highway system as an auxiliary route of Primary State Highway 12 ( PSH 12 ) , co signed as both U.S. Route 101 ( US 101 ) and US 830 . The highway ran from PSH 12 US 101 at the Megler ferry landing on the Columbia River to PSH 12 US 830 in Naselle , with a gap between Megler and Knappton . SSH 12B , including the Megler Knappton gap , became SR 401 during the 1964 highway renumbering . After the Astoria Megler Bridge was completed on August 27 , 1966 , SR 401 was extended west to the new bridge and the gap between Megler and Knappton was completed by 1968 . The Dismal Nitch Safety rest area , formerly the Megler Landing Rest Area , was remodeled twice in 2007 to be accessible year round . Major intersections The entire highway is in Pacific County .

Connector M 13 ( Conn . M 13 ) is a state trunkline highway running 2 . 41 miles ( 3 . 88 km ) connecting Interstate 75 US Highway 23 ( I 75 US 23 ) to M 13 near the community of Kawkawlin , just north of Bay City . The Michigan Department of Transportation ( MDOT ) internally calls the road Connector 13 . The freeway was once the northern end of the US 23 freeway in the area before I 75 was built to the northwest and US 23 was rerouted to follow it . When these changes were made in 1967 , Conn . M 13 was designated for the freeway stub . Route description Conn . M 13 starts at exit 164 along I 75 US 23 north of Bay City . At the interchange that marks its southern terminus , the connector route continues to the north while the main I 75 freeway turns northwesterly . About three quarters of a mile ( 1 . 2 km ) north , there is an interchange for Wilder Road . Traffic running southbound on the connector that wishes to continue northbound on I 75 US 23 has to use Wilder Road to connect to the latter freeway . The connector route is bordered by fields and residential subdivisions as it continues north to the community of Kawkawlin . The freeway ends at an at grade intersection with M 13 . Conn . M 13 is maintained by MDOT like other state highways in Michigan . As a part of these maintenance responsibilities , the department tracks the volume of traffic that uses the roadways under its jurisdiction . These volumes are expressed using a metric called annual average daily traffic , which is a statistical calculation of the average daily number of vehicles on a segment of roadway . MDOT 's surveys in 2010 showed that the traffic levels along Conn . M 13 were 13 , 939 vehicles daily south of the Wilder Road and 7 , 031 vehicles per day north of that interchange . The only section of the freeway that has been listed on the National Highway System ( NHS ) is from the southern terminus to the Wilder Road interchange . The NHS is a network of roads important to the country 's economy , defense , and mobility . History This short freeway was opened in late 1960 or early 1961 as the north end of a new US 23 freeway around Bay City . The freeway was extended farther north to the Standish area in 1967 M 13 was extended north to replace the US 23 designation along the latter 's former routing through Pinconning . At that time , the freeway stub north of Bay City became Conn . M 13 . Exit list The entire highway is in Monitor Township , Bay County . All exits are unnumbered .

Through Maria Stein , the highway is more urbanized , with more homes and commercial buildings surrounding the highway . However , this is only for a short time , as SR 716 leaves Maria Stein after the intersection with SR 119 . The route continues northward for a short distance into Chickasaw , where it terminates at SR 274 . History SR 716 was established in 1937 . Its original path consisted of its entire current routing , SR 274 between Chickasaw and one mile ( 1 . 6 km ) west of Chickasaw in Marion Township , Mercer County , and a currently unnumbered road from Marion Township to one mile ( 1 . 6 km ) east of Montezuma in Franklin Township . In 1973 , SR 716 was scaled back on the north end to its current northern terminus at SR 274 in Chickasaw . The road went westward at the intersection with SR 274 , and went on a short concurrency before turning off for the north . It continued to its then northern terminus . The former stretch of SR 716 from Chickasaw to Marion Township was re numbered as SR 274 , and the stretch from Marion Township to Franklin Township was deleted from the state highway system .

The 22 . 4 kilometre long ( 13 . 9 mi ) was assumed by the province in September 1937 . Aside from paving and the construction of an interchange with Highway 401 , it remained generally unchanged for the next six decades until it was decommissioned in 1997 and transferred to Elgin County and Middlesex County . The road has since been redesignated as Elgin County Road 74 and unk County Road 74 . Route description Highway 74 began at an intersection with Highway 3 in the community of New Sarum , midway between the city of St. Thomas to the west , and the town of Aylmer to the east . It crossed the St. Thomas and Eastern Railway just north of Highway 3 before curving to cross the West Catfish Creek , which it meandered alongside into Mapleton . Immediately north of that community , the route curved to the north and was straight for the remainder of its route .

The Dovecot At Blackford Farm in Selworthy on Exmoor within the English county of Somerset was probably built in the 11th century . It is a Grade II listed building , and scheduled monument . The cylindrical stone dovecote has a cone shaped roof . It contains over 300 nest boxes . The pigeons would have been domesticated for food , possibly by Montacute Priory or by the local lord of the manor . It is now owned by the National Trust and used as a store for the neighbouring farm . History The earliest written record of the dovecote was in 1393 although the exact date of construction is not known . It was attached to a mansion house which burnt down in 1875 . The manor previously belonged to Montacute Priory , a Cluniac priory of the Benedictine order , founded between 1078 and 1102 although it is not known if the construction of the dovecote was undertaken by the priory or the unk family who later held the manor . Pigeons and doves were an important food source historically kept for their eggs , flesh ( squab ) , and dung . The dovecote which forms part of the property of the Holnicote Estate , was donated to the National Trust by Sir Richard Thomas Dyke Acland , 15th Baronet in 1944 . It was scheduled as an ancient monument in 1949 and designated as a Grade II listed building in 1969 . Repairs were undertaken to the dovecote in 1993 . The building is used as a store by the neighbouring farmer . Architecture The building is cylindrical with an external diameter of 23 feet 6 inches ( 7 . 16 m ) and is 15 feet ( 4 . 6 m ) high to the eaves . The walls , which are 4 feet ( 1 . 2 m ) thick , are built of Devonian sandstone . The doorway was widened to its current height of 6 feet 3 inches ( 1 . 91 m ) high and 3 feet 6 inches ( 1 . 07 m ) wide in the 19th century replacing a much smaller door which would have been present when it was used as a dovecote . It contains over 300 nest holes . These are arranged into 11 tiers with an irregular pattern . Each of the boxes is approximately 11 inches ( 280 mm ) wide and 20 inches ( 510 mm ) wide but the opening is smaller than the interior of the box . The lowest boxes are about 2 feet 6 inches ( 0 . 76 m ) above the earth floor which kept them above the damp and away from brown rats which became common in the area in the 18th century . The original hole in the roof for the entry of the pigeons was covered by a flat stone and is now covered with glass to keep the interior dry . The interior of the roof has putlog holes rather than nesting boxes but may also have been used by pigeons .

New York State Route 83 ( NY 83 ) is a state route located entirely in Chautauqua County , New York in the United States . It extends from an intersection with U.S. Route 62 ( US 62 ) in the hamlet of Conewango Valley ( at the Cattaraugus County border ) to NY 60 in the hamlet of Laona , near Fredonia . Along the way , NY 83 intersects with NY 322 at Balcom Corners and serves the village of Cherry Creek . NY 83 initially extended south to Frewsburg when it was assigned as part of the 1930 renumbering . The portion of the route between Frewsburg and Conewango Valley became part of US 62 c . 1932 , resulting in the truncation of NY 83 to its current southern terminus in the 1940s . Route description NY 83 begins at US 62 in the hamlet of Conewango Valley , located in the northeastern corner of the town of Ellington . The route heads north northwestward , paralleling a pair of train tracks , and shortly after enters the village of Cherry Creek , where it intersects County Route 70 ( CR 70 ) and CR 68 , respectively . Known as Main Street , it bows out to the east slightly , and subsequently takes on a due north path as it heads through the town of Cherry Creek . A couple miles later , it reaches the hamlet of Balcom Corners ( located in the town of Villenova ) , a community situated at the junction of NY 83 and the western terminus of NY 322 . Here , NY 83 turns westward toward the community of Hamlet , where it intersects with CR 72 . NY 83 begins a more erratic routing , passing between West Mud Lake and Black Pond as it enters the town of Arkwright . For a short distance it is concurrent with CR 85 , and takes on the name Black Corner Street , so named because it is located within the hamlet of Black Corners . Although this portion of NY 83 is cosigned with CR 85 , it is maintained by the New York State Department of Transportation . An intersection with CR 79 is not far off , as it passes just north of the town of Arkwright . NY 83 proceeds west northwest until it reaches its ending terminus at NY 60 in the community of Laona , located just west of the Arkwright town line in Pomfret . History NY 83 was assigned as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York to an alignment extending from Frewsburg in the south to Laona in the north . US 62 was extended into New York c . 1932 , overlapping NY 83 from Frewsburg to Conewango Valley . The overlap was eliminated in the 1940s when NY 83 was truncated to its junction with US 62 in Conewango Valley . Major intersections The entire route is in Chautauqua County .
