it is open and can be traversed by bicycle, on foot or by motorized all-terrain vehicles serving as a shortcut from Hunedoara to Govăjdia.
- The second tunnel is at 8 km from Hunedoara at Tulea hamlet from Govăjdia. It is a 42-metre-long curved tunnel serving as a passing through a crest of the mountain. This tunnel is also lined with stone, on the keystone of the tunnel's east portal the date can be seen "1900.12.4". Same as the 747 m tunnel they've removed scrapped the tracks after 2001. The tunnel is in excellent condition; it can be passed only by pedestrians. It cannot be passed through by bicycle or motorized land vehicles because of the dense vegetation.
- The third tunnel is passing | 6,131,300 |
37318746 | Transylvanian mining railway | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Transylvanian%20mining%20railway | Transylvanian mining railway
through a crest of the mountain located at km 13+520 from Hunedoara, at the confluences of Nădrab and Retişoara rivers. It is a 44-metre-long curved tunnel which has an inside lined with concrete, and the ceiling has traces of soot from the early steam locomotives. The tracks here were removed and scrapped in the early 1990s, after the Retişoara terminus was closed in the 1970s. The west portal of this tunnel and a section of the trackbed is buried under the spoil dump which came from the quarry dolomite and talc from Crăciuneasa hamlet. The tunnel can be approached only on foot.
# The bridges.
On the "Transylvanian Mining Railway" before 1900 were mounted 16 riveted metallic bridges of which | 6,131,301 |
37318746 | Transylvanian mining railway | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Transylvanian%20mining%20railway | Transylvanian mining railway
6 were viaducts. The rest were between 3 and 15 meters in length over different obstacles (gorges, rivers, trenches). The two viaducts from the Retişoara valley were scrapped in the early 1990s. The rest of the bridges and viaducts were scrapped between 2001 and 2003, leaving the first and second curved bridges and the 114 long, "S" shaped viaduct over the Zlaşti valley, which was completely replaced in the summer of 1992. On 19 June 2009 the management of the Zlaşti limeworks for economic reasons decided to scrap the second curved bridge near Canton 1 Zlaşti. The first curved bridge was uninstalled in February 2010 and sold to an Austrian manager who is settled to Brad, Hunedoara county has | 6,131,302 |
37318746 | Transylvanian mining railway | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Transylvanian%20mining%20railway | Transylvanian mining railway
a workshop at Crişcior, Hunedoara county and is specialized in restoring narrow-gauge rolling sock and infrastructure. Today the Zlaşti valley viaduct, the original metallic bridge from Govăjdia and the pillars and abutments of the former bridges remain.
# Locomotives and rolling stock.
On the railway since the line opening ran Hungarian MÁVAG 51 class steam locomotives which were replaced in the 1950s by eleven Reşiţa type, 150 horsepower steam locomotives. Between the late 1970s and mid-1980s the Reşiţa steam locomotives were replaced by five L45H class, 450 horsepower diesel-hydraulic locomotives that were produced in the Faur (23 August) factories in Bucharest.
The first hopper cars had | 6,131,303 |
37318746 | Transylvanian mining railway | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Transylvanian%20mining%20railway | Transylvanian mining railway
a 7-ton capacity each, ran on two axles with manual actuated braking systems. The old hopper cars were replaced in the early 1980s with 20 ton and 22 ton capacity "K" type hopper cars, that ran on four axles mounted in two bogies, the cars had pneumatic braking systems, only the unloading mechanism was actuated manually. The first passenger cars were brought from Hungary, that were replaced in the early 1960s with passenger cars brought from the Unio factory from Satu Mare. In 2001 they've scrapped some of the extra rolling stock, along with the old steam locomotives, hopper cars and passenger cars. Some locomotives and rolling stock were sold to serve on other narrow-gauge lines from Romania | 6,131,304 |
37318746 | Transylvanian mining railway | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Transylvanian%20mining%20railway | Transylvanian mining railway
or abroad. The last two L45H class locomotives and the last ten "K" type hopper cars were used till the autumn of 2008 for transportation of limestone from the improvised loading station at Hunedoara West-Station to the limeworks from Zlaşti. In the autumn of 2009 the last two locomotives and hopper cars were transported to the central workshops at Crişcior for restoration and further use on other railways.
# Current state.
When the scrapping of the last section of the railway had begun in the summer of 2009, a group representing the youth in Hunedoara started protesting against the destruction but they were ignored by the local authorities and the limeworks management and the scrapping was | 6,131,305 |
37318746 | Transylvanian mining railway | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Transylvanian%20mining%20railway | Transylvanian mining railway
continued till no track was left. The group haven't given up and persevered on protesting. They've created webpages where this line was promoted on the internet using photographs from when the railway was working. They continue insisting on the authorities that this railway if rebuilt will help on the development of tourism near Hunedoara. The line could be included in a tourist circle starting from the Corvin's Castle. The line could also be rebuilt by EU funds for tourism infrastructure.
In the summer of 2010 a committee from the culture ministry was sent to inspect what could be saved and classed urgently as historical monument. This status was accorded on 22 July 2010 temporarily for one | 6,131,306 |
37318746 | Transylvanian mining railway | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Transylvanian%20mining%20railway | Transylvanian mining railway
year for what's left of this railway. Under this period the local authorities were compelled to produce the necessary documents for this line to receive the permanent historical monument status.
On 2 April 2011 a group of around 200 young volunteers decided to clear the vegetation off the trackbed. To this volunteering action participated the boy scouts from Ghelari with their leaders, the volunteers from the "Prietenii Mocăniţei" associaţion from Sibiu and some students from a university from Cluj Napoca. They wanted to demonstrate to the local authorities that this line needs to be rebuilt and everyone wants this line to work again.
In the summer of 2011 the temporary historic monument status | 6,131,307 |
37318746 | Transylvanian mining railway | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Transylvanian%20mining%20railway | Transylvanian mining railway
had expired since the local authorities failed to produce the necessary documents.
The local authorities promised that they are going to start the procedure for the reconstruction of the railway, but for now they are only promises. The youth of Hunedoara continues to fight for the reconstruction of the railway. Today the trackbed, the viaduct's frame over the Zlaşti valley, the original bridge in Govăjdia, the three tunnels, the derelict locoshed and the remains of the bridges can be visited.
On 31 May 2013 the Hunedoara county council gave a positive vote for the takeover of the Zlaşti valley viaduct which was owned by a local company and decided to donate-it to the county council so it could | 6,131,308 |
37318746 | Transylvanian mining railway | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Transylvanian%20mining%20railway | Transylvanian mining railway
be used for the accessing of EU funds for the reconstruction of the railway. Further negotiations are carried out for the takeover of the trackbed and annexes from another company that owns them.

37319010 | Sylvester Greenaway | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sylvester%20Greenaway | Sylvester Greenaway
Sylvester Greenaway
Sylvester Greenaway (19 May 1946 – 15 December 2018) was a West Indian cricketer. Greenaway was a right-handed batsman. He was born on Montserrat.
Greenaway first played for Montserrat in 1961 as a 15-year-old. He was a substitute for Montserrat opener Peter Cabey, who was unable to play on Saturdays because he was a Seventh Day Adventist. He got the nickname "Nul" as a boy. The nickname started out as "Nald"—short for his actual first name of Ronald—but evolved into "Nul". From the late 1960s through 1975, Greenaway was Montserrat's omnipresent opening batsman, often with Vendol "Gary" Moore (1945-2012). In 1972, Greenaway played two first-class matches for the Leeward | 6,131,315 |
37319010 | Sylvester Greenaway | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sylvester%20Greenaway | Sylvester Greenaway
Islands. The first came against the Windward Islands, while the second came against the touring New Zealanders. However, in four batting innings he scored just 15 runs at an average of 3.75. He played his final season for Montserrat in the 1975 Leeward Islands tournament. Ironically, he scored the only century of his career against Antigua that summer, finishing with 157 as he and Jim Allen put on a partnership of 240 runs. In the 1980s, the Montserrat cricket team had another player named Sylvester "Ben" Greenaway (no relation). The two players' careers are often mixed up. Sylvester "Nul" Greenaway relocated to Canada after his cricket career ended and became highly skilled in offset printing.

37318755 | Ben Swann | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ben%20Swann | Ben Swann
Ben Swann
Benjamin Swann (born July 17, 1978) is an American television news anchor, investigative journalist, and political commentator. He became a sports producer for TV, and later a news journalist and producer, and managing editor on network affiliates, FOX, and RT America of the Russian state-owned TV network RT. He received a National Edward R. Murrow Award in 2002.
Swann created a news segment called "Reality Check" in association with Fox 19 in Cincinnati and CBS46 in Atlanta, in which he covered "issues other media is not looking at" and uncritically presented alt-right conspiracy theories. He garnered praise for a 2012 in-person interview with President Barack Obama about the so-called | 6,131,321 |
37318755 | Ben Swann | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ben%20Swann | Ben Swann
"kill list" which is used to direct drone strikes against American citizens, like Anwar al-Awlaki. In a manner reminiscent of right-wing conspiracy websites, Swann reported on conspiracy theories about the Aurora, Colorado shootings, questioned the truth of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings, presented 9/11 conspiracy theories, and the false claims of a cover-up by the CDC of data related to the MMR vaccine and autism. He has also questioned the use of chemical weapons in the Syrian Civil War, whether United States had a role in the development of ISIL, and other controversial topics.
In 2017, after his employer, CBS affiliate 46 in Atlanta, aired a "Reality Check" which presented the | 6,131,322 |
37318755 | Ben Swann | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ben%20Swann | Ben Swann
false Pizzagate conspiracy theory as potentially true, Swann was forced by WGCL to bring down his "Truth in Media" website and all of his social media. About a year later, he was fired when WGCL learned that Swann was planning to relaunch "Truth in Media".
# Education.
Swann was homeschooled with nine brothers and sisters in El Paso, Texas, and earned a bachelor's degree in Liberal Arts from Brigham Young University in 1993, at the age of 15, and a master's degree in History from California State University, Dominguez Hills in 1994, at the age of 16.
# Career.
## Early work.
Swann's initial and ongoing interest has been to be a church leader. At the age of 15 he became a youth pastor at | 6,131,323 |
37318755 | Ben Swann | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ben%20Swann | Ben Swann
his local Baptist Church in Canutillo in El Paso County, Texas. At the age of 19, he began preaching at revivals in Texas. Unable to find a position as a pastor in El Paso, he followed one of his brother's suggestion to get a job in TV news. At that time, four of his brothers worked in television. Three were news cameramen. He worked for a period of time for KDBC-TV. In 1998, he moved to KFOX-TV to work as a news cameraman.
After working in Portland, Oregon, as an assistant pastor, Swann returned to the Fox station KFOX in El Paso as a sports producer. He then filmed, edited, and reported his own news and sports stories. Swan became a morning co-anchor and managing editor at the station. In | 6,131,324 |
37318755 | Ben Swann | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ben%20Swann | Ben Swann
2008, he became an evening news anchor for the NBC affiliate KTSM-TV. He won regional Emmy Awards in 2005 and 2009, as well as a national Edward R. Murrow Award in 2002 for Continuing Coverage of Alexandra Flores. During this period, Swann was an investigative journalist for the Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN News), writing about Mexico's drug wars on the Texas border.
## WXIX-TV in Cincinnati (FOX19).
He left El Paso in December 2010 to become an evening TV news presenter at Cincinnati, Ohio's Fox affiliate WXIX-TV, co-anchoring with Tricia Macke. He produced a thrice-weekly news segment series entitled "Reality Check" shortly after joining the station which he described as investigating | 6,131,325 |
37318755 | Ben Swann | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ben%20Swann | Ben Swann
"issues other media is not looking at". The series reflected Swann's libertarian views and his advocacy of Ron Paul's positions. One theme of Swann's "Reality Check" was Ron Paul's presidential campaign, with his goal of providing fairer coverage for Paul than the conservative or liberal national press, including an episode about the racist "Ron Paul newsletters" which contradicted the findings of "The New Republic" columnist James Kirchick who broke the story.
In September 2012, one segment of "Reality Check" in particular went viral and received a great deal of media attention. In it, Swann was able to obtain a 7-minute one-on-one interview with President Barack Obama while on an election | 6,131,326 |
37318755 | Ben Swann | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ben%20Swann | Ben Swann
campaign stop in Ohio - a rare opportunity for a local news reporter. Swann asked the President direct questions about the so-called presidential "kill list" which had been used to direct drone strikes against terrorism suspects, and the legality of the list including U.S. citizens, like Anwar al-Awlaki and teenage son Abdulrahman al-Awlaki. Answering Swann's questions, Obama responded by saying news reports about the list have never been confirmed by him and that drone strikes in Yemen would help bring U.S. soldiers stationed in Afghanistan home sooner. Several journalism and civil liberties watchdogs praised Swann's fact-checking work on the segment, such as Conor Friedersdorf of "The Atlantic", | 6,131,327 |
37318755 | Ben Swann | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ben%20Swann | Ben Swann
Glenn Greenwald of "The Guardian", Byron Tau of "Politico", the "Huffington Post", and the "Columbia Journalism Review".
Swann broke several details about local officials at the Cincinnati IRS office involved in the IRS targeting controversy which were picked up in national news media and led to Swann making brief appearances on Fox News.
In April 2013, Swann announced he would be leaving WXIX-TV Fox 19 at the end of May.
## "Truth in Media" and other projects.
While working at WXIX-TV, Swann started a Facebook page called "Full Disclosure" where, according to "Adweek", he asked "questions about controversial subjects he says are ignored by the national media". On October 23, 2012, Swann | 6,131,328 |
37318755 | Ben Swann | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ben%20Swann | Ben Swann
served as a panel member on a third-party presidential candidates debate hosted by Larry King in Chicago, Illinois, and broadcast on C-SPAN, Al Jazeera America, and online through the sponsorship of the Free & Equal Elections Foundation.
After leaving WXIX-TV, Swann started a social media channel called "Truth in Media" to continue production of his show "Reality Check". Truth in Media was a collaboration with Republican Liberty Caucus and Joshua Cook. His "Reality Check", according to "The Daily Beast", echoes talking points from media outlets such as RT and InfoWars that are rarely seen in more mainstream news media. Swann's "Reality Check" segments were uploaded to his YouTube channel and | 6,131,329 |
37318755 | Ben Swann | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ben%20Swann | Ben Swann
garnered 10,376,570 views and over 73,500 subscribers before he took his channel offline. In 2017, Swann has sought crowdfunding via his 419,000 Facebook followers for an episode titled, "U.S. and partners intentionally created ISIS".
From May 2013 until June 2015, Swann appeared regularly on RT America in Washington, D.C. For three months in 2014 he hosted the "Ben Swann Radio Show" on the Republic Broadcasting Network that, according to progressive media watchdog Media Matters for America, is a far-right network which has aired holocaust denial and other antisemitic conspiracy theories.
## WGCL-TV in Atlanta (CBS46).
In June 2015, he was hired by CBS-46 affiliate WGCL-TV in Atlanta, Georgia | 6,131,330 |
37318755 | Ben Swann | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ben%20Swann | Ben Swann
where he revived his fact-checking segment under the title "Reality Check With Ben Swann" and was made part of the station's new investigative unit.
He was suspended in January 2017 for running a story attempting to revive the Pizzagate conspiracy theory, in which Swann called for an "investigation" into the months-old false claims that a Washington, D.C. pizza restaurant was hiding a child sex trafficking ring in its non-existent basement, citing anonymous Internet users as his sources; "The Atlanta Journal-Constitution" noted that it appeared Swann had done no independent reporting on the topic. He was reinstated after he took down his Truth in Media and "Reality Check" sites. He was fired | 6,131,331 |
37318755 | Ben Swann | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ben%20Swann | Ben Swann
on January 29, 2018, after the station learned that he had been trying to revive "Truth in Media" without their knowledge and permission. According to "The Atlanta Journal-Constitution", Swann's "Reality Check" program had "often veered into alt-right conspiracy theories".
## Current work.
Swann relaunched "Truth in Media" in 2018 after he was fired by WGCL-TV. Starting in 2018 he began publishing pieces for the "Liberty Nation" website. Swann launched the "Isegoria" social media platform, named from the ancient Greek meaning "Equality of all in freedom of speech". He later returned to RT America in 2018.
# Controversial views and claims.
Swann has reported on a number of conspiracy theories | 6,131,332 |
37318755 | Ben Swann | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ben%20Swann | Ben Swann
and false claims, several of which are aligned with narratives pushed by his former employer, the Russian state-run RT. On his personal YouTube channel, Swann posted videos discussing debunked conspiracy theories about the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, including a conspiracy theory that shooter did not commit the act alone. He also discounted the conclusion that 2012 Aurora shooting was conducted by a lone gunman. There is no evidence that any additional shooters were present at the shootings. The theory of multiple gunmen may have been influenced by early news reports of the events. Swann also has questioned whether 7 World Trade Center collapsed the way authorities said it did on | 6,131,333 |
37318755 | Ben Swann | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ben%20Swann | Ben Swann
September 11, 2001.
In December 2016, one of Swann's CBS 46 "Reality Check" segments on the Syrian Civil War titled ""If" (Syrian President Bashar al) "Assad is Committing Genocide in Aleppo, Why Are People Celebrating in the Streets?"" went viral on Facebook. Ben Collins of The Daily Beast said this "mirrors a narrative within several stories written by Kremlin state media outfit RT in the past several weeks".
In an appearance in 2015 RT America, Swann said that "any credible evidence does not seem to exist" that Russia shot down Malaysia Airlines Flight 17. The plane's crash was investigated by the Dutch Safety Board (DSB) and the Dutch-led joint investigation team (JIT), who concluded that | 6,131,334 |
37318755 | Ben Swann | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ben%20Swann | Ben Swann

X-Kid
"X-Kid" is a song by American rock band Green Day. The song was recorded by the band for their eleventh studio album, "¡Tré!". It was released as the second single from "¡Tré!" on February 12, 2013. It is also the fifth and final single from the "¡Uno!, ¡Dos! & ¡Tré!" trilogy.
# Background and release.
"X-Kid" was released as a single on February 12, 2013. On December 19, 2012, a video was released to Green Day's official YouTube channel showing "X-Kid" playing on a cassette tape.
# Theme and composition.
According to The A.V. Club, "X-Kid" has "a rousing intro degenerates into a hybrid of two songs from the band’s 1992 album "Kerplunk", “Who Wrote Holden Caulfield?” and “One Of My | 6,131,345 |
37319093 | X-Kid | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=X-Kid | X-Kid
Lies.”"
# Song meaning.
“X-Kid” from "¡Tré!" deals with the suicide of a close friend of the band’s. “I don’t really want to get into it,” Armstrong says. “It’s too heavy.”
This song was written in response to the 2009 suicide of a close friend that Armstrong grew up with in Rodeo, CA. However, the song is as much about the entire "Generation X" (those born from roughly 1960-1980) as it is about this one specific tragedy. Billie Joe has repeatedly identified himself as an "Ex-Kid" in recent interviews. The narrator is able to relate to his late friend, in that they were both "Ex/X-kids." But, he was able to push through the struggles that came with growing older, while his friend was not. | 6,131,346 |
37319093 | X-Kid | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=X-Kid | X-Kid
e was able to push through the struggles that came with growing older, while his friend was not. His friend, unfortunately, found an escape in suicide, thus the line "Here goes nothing, the shouting's over." The narrator sees facets of himself in his late friend. He feels as if, sadly, there wasn't much that could have been done to help his friend, though he wishes someone could have found a way to help him before it was too late.

- Songwriting: Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt, Tré Cool

Mitcheldean Meend Marsh
Mitcheldean Meend Marsh () is a nature reserve in Gloucestershire in the Forest of Dean. The site is listed in the 'Forest of Dean Local Plan Review' as a Key Wildlife Site (KWS).
The site is managed by the Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust under lease from the Forestry Commission since 1983.
# Location and habitat.
The reserve is triangular in shape and is sited at Hazel Hill, which is to the north of Drybrook near Mitcheldean. The reserve is next to Mitcheldeanmeend Inclosure, which is a conifer plantation. It lies to the south of Puddlebrook Quarry which is a Site of Special Scientific Interest. The reserve is in the Dean Coal Measures.
Access to the reserve is from | 6,131,385 |
37319285 | Mitcheldean Meend Marsh | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mitcheldean%20Meend%20Marsh | Mitcheldean Meend Marsh
a forest track which is on the southern boundary. There is a permissive footpath through the site.
The marsh is a relic of the Mitcheldean Meend Bog which once covered an extensive area. This bog was enclosed and planted in the 18th and 19th centuries. There was planting of Scots Pine and Norway Spruce in 1924. The marsh includes a small 'quaking bog'.
# Flora.
The reserve is considered to have one of the best collections of wet heathland and bog plants in the county. Notable plants are bog asphodel, common cotton-grass, few-flowered spike-rush and tawny sedge. The loss of local habitat has resulted in this reserve becoming an important conservation area. Also recorded are lesser spearwort | 6,131,386 |
37319285 | Mitcheldean Meend Marsh | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mitcheldean%20Meend%20Marsh | Mitcheldean Meend Marsh
and marsh pennywort.
There is a drier area of heathland around the marsh which supports creeping willow, sneezewort, common fleabane, devil's-bit scabious, purple moor-grass, heather, cross-leaved heath heather and bell heather. The boundaries of the reserve are edged with bramble, gorse, silver birch and willow. rosebay willowherb flourishes in one corner and its spread is controlled.
# Bird life.
The reserve is a good site for hedgerow and open ground birds. Notable visitors are winter flocks of finches.
# Conservation.
Invasive scrub is cleared and the footpath kept open to encourage people not to walk in the marsh, this being a sensitive wildlife area.

Jane Howard, Duchess of Norfolk
Jane Howard, Duchess of Norfolk (née Bickerton; 1643/4 - 28 August 1693), was the second wife of Henry Howard, 6th Duke of Norfolk.
Bickerton came from a very modest social background. Her parents were Anne Hester and Robert Bickerton, Gentleman of the Wine Cellar to King Charles II of England. She met Howard when he was heir presumptive to his unmarried brother Thomas and became his mistress. She started living with him after the death of his wife, Lady Anne Somerset, in 1662. Upon his brother's death in 1677, Howard succeeded to the dukedom and made his marriage to Bickerton public, though it may have taken place a year earlier, with the Duke's children by | 6,131,398 |

Lady Anne Somerset protesting against the marriage. The family quarrel became so bitter that the Duke went abroad for a time with his new wife.
The Duke and Duchess of Norfolk had four sons, all of whom died childless, and three daughters:
- George Howard, married but childless
- James Howard, drowned unmarried in August 1702
- Frederick Henry Howard (d. 16 March 1727), married but childless
- Lady Catherine Howard, a nun in Flanders
- Lady Elizabeth Howard, m. 1st Duke of Gordon, had issue. Later became a nun in Flanders
- Lady Philippa Howard (d. January 1683), who had issue
After the Duke's death in 1684, the Duchess married a Scot, Thomas Maxwell.
