orange county was split off from los angeles county in 1889.anaheim remained largely an agricultural community until disneyland opened on july 17, 1955.this led to the construction of several hotels and motels around the area, and residential districts in anaheim soon followed.the city also developed into an industrial center, producing electronics, aircraft parts and canned fruit.anaheim is a charter city.anaheim's city limits extend almost the full width of orange county, from cypress in the west, twenty miles east to the riverside county line, encompassing a diverse range of neighborhoods.in the west, mid-20th-century tract houses predominate.downtown anaheim has three mixed-use historic districts, the largest of which is the anaheim colony.south of downtown, a center of commercial activity of regional importance begins, the anaheim–santa ana edge city, which stretches east and south into the cities of orange, santa ana, and garden grove.this edge city includes the disneyland resort, with two theme parks, multiple hotels, and its retail district; disney is part of the larger anaheim resort district with numerous other hotels and retail complexes.the platinum triangle, a neo-urban redevelopment district surrounding angel stadium, which is planned to be populated with mixed-use streets and high-rises.further east, anaheim canyon is an industrial district north of the riverside freeway (sr 91) and east of the orange freeway (sr 57).the city's eastern third consists of anaheim hills, a community built to a master plan, and open land east of the eastern transportation corridor (sr 241 toll road).evidence suggests their presence since 3500 bce.the tongva village at anaheim was called hutuukuga.the village has been noted as one of the largest tongva villages throughout tovaangar.native plants like oak trees and sage bushes were an important food source, as well as rabbit and mule deer for meat.the village had deep trade connections with coastal villages and those further inland.following the american conquest of california, the rancho was patented to ontiveros by public land commission.in 1857, ontiveros sold 1,160 acres (out of his more than 35,000 acre estate) to 50 german-american families for the founding of anaheim.after traveling through the state looking for a suitable area to grow grapes, the group decided to purchase a 1,165 acres (4.71 km2) parcel from juan pacífico ontiveros' large rancho san juan cajón de santa ana in present-day orange county for $2 per acre.for $750 a share, the group formed the anaheim vineyard company headed by george hansen.their new community was named annaheim, meaning 'home by the santa ana river' in german.the name later was altered to anaheim.to the spanish-speaking neighbors, the settlement was known as campo alemán (english: german field).although grape and wine-making was their primary objective, the majority of the 50 settlers were mechanics, carpenters and craftsmen with no experience in wine-making.the community set aside 40 acres (16 ha) for a town center and a school was the first building erected there. | anaheim california | ispartof | orange county california | anaheim ( an-ə-hyme) is a city in northern orange county, california, united states, part of the los angeles metropolitan area.as of the 2020 united states census, the city had a population of 346,824, making it the most populous city in orange county, the 10th-most populous city in california, and the 55th-most populous city in the united states.anaheim is the second-largest city in orange county in terms of land area, and is known for being the home of the disneyland resort, the anaheim convention center, and two major sports teams: the los angeles angels baseball team and the anaheim ducks ice hockey club.anaheim was founded by fifty german families in 1857 and incorporated as the second city in los angeles county on march 18, 1876;

antioch is the third-largest city in contra costa county, california, united states.the city is located in the east bay region of the san francisco bay area along the sacramento–san joaquin river delta.the city's population was 115,291 at the 2020 census.the city has grown substantially more diverse since the 1970s.the town has been variously named east antioch, smith's landing, and marsh's landing, prior to its current name.in 1848, john marsh, owner of rancho los méganos, one of the largest ranches in california, built a landing on the san joaquin river in what is now antioch.it became known as marsh's landing, and was the shipping point for the 17,000-acre (69 km2) rancho.it included a pier extending well out into the river, enabling vessels drawing 15 feet (4.6 m) of water to tie up there in any season of the year.the landing also included a slaughterhouse, a smokehouse for curing hams, rodeo grounds, and a 1+1⁄2-story dwelling, embellished with fretwork, that was brought around the horn to serve as a home for the mayordomo and his wife.in 1849, twin brothers rev.william wiggins smith and rev.joseph horton smith sailed from boston, purchased land from john marsh and founded a town slightly west of marsh's landing, and named it smith's landing.during the town picnic on july 4, 1851, william, the town's new minister, persuaded the residents to change the name of the town to antioch, for the biblical city of antioch, 'in as much as the first settlers were disciples of christ, and one of them had died and was buried on the land, that it be given a bible name in his honor, and suggested 'antioch' (an ancient syrian town where two important rivers meet and where the followers of christ were first called christians), and by united acclamation it was so christened.'around 1859, coal was discovered in several places in the hills south of antioch, and coal mining formed the first substantial business apart from farming and dairying for the inhabitants of this community.this new industry resulted in the founding of the towns of nortonville, somersville, stewartville, and black diamond (now pittsburg), and added greatly to the economic activity of the antioch area.the empire coal company was formed by john c. rouse and george hawxhurst in 1876, which built a railroad that passed from antioch toward the mines over what is now 'f street' (formerly kimball street).however, later on, both the mine and the railroad passed into the hands of the belshaw brothers.the mines have long since ceased operation, and the railroad tracks have been dug up, though the building that served as the antioch terminus of the railroad still stands on the corner of f street and fourth street, and the grading and trestles still remain much as they were in those early days.in 1863, a great excitement arose over the discovery of copper ore near antioch.smelting works were built at antioch, and the ore fetched $15 to $25 per ton.the copper bubble eventually burst, to the dismay of the citizens, and petroleum was first drilled for near antioch in 1865, but not enough oil was found to make a decent profit.the antioch post office was opened in 1851, closed in 1852, reopened in 1855, closed again in 1862, and has operated continuously since reopening in 1863.the city of antioch was incorporated in 1872.the antioch ledger was first issued on march 10, 1870.to commemorate the paper's formation, a copy of its first issue has been framed and hangs over the desk of the present editor. | antioch california | ispartof | california <tsp> california | language | english language | antioch is the third-largest city in contra costa county, california, united states.in 1848, john marsh, owner of rancho los méganos, one of the largest ranches in california, built a landing on the san joaquin river in what is now antioch. |
the aston martin v8 is a grand tourer manufactured by aston martin in the united kingdom from 1969 to 1989.as with all traditional aston martins, it was entirely handbuilt – with each car requiring 1,200 man-hours to finish.aston martin were looking to replace the db6 model and had designed a larger, more modern looking car.the engine was not ready, however, so in 1967 the company released the dbs with the straight-six vantage engine from the db6.two years later, tadek marek's v8 was ready, and aston released the dbs v8.with the demise of the straight-six vantage in 1973, the dbs v8, now restyled and called simply the aston martin v8, became the company's mainstream car for nearly two decades.it was eventually retired in favour of the virage in 1989.though the body and name was shared with the six-cylinder dbs, the v8 sold for much more.the body was a modern reinterpretation of the traditional aston martin look, with a squared-off grille and four headlights (william towns admitted that the rear quarters were 'borrowed' from the early ford mustang).distinguishing features of the v8 model are the larger front air dam, 225/70vr15 tyres and lack of wire wheels, though some six-cylinder dbs cars also used the v8's alloy wheels.the tail lights were taken from the hillman hunter.a road test report of the time noted that the car had gained 250 lb (113 kg) in weight with the fitting of the v8 in place of the previously used six-cylinder unit, despite the manufacturer's assurance that the engine weighed only 30 lb (14 kg) more than the older straight-six.other contributions to the weight gain included heavier ventilated brake discs, air conditioning, fatter tyres, a new and stronger zf gearbox as well as some extra bodywork beneath the front bumper.marek's v8 engine displaced 5,340 cc (5.3 l; 325.9 cu in) and used bosch fuel injection.output was not officially released, but estimates center around 315 hp (235 kw).the dbs v8 could reach 100 km/h (62 mph) in 7.1 seconds and had a top speed of 242 km/h (150 mph).402 dbs v8s were built.a dbs v8 was planned to be used by roger moore's character brett sinclair in the television show, the persuaders!but no v8 car was available at that time so a six-cylinder dbs was modified to look like a v8 model for use in the show.it is based on a dbs v8 and two cars were commissioned by the tobacco company w.o.wills to promote their new premium brand of cigarettes: one show car with chassis number dbsv8/10380/r and one road going car with chassis number dbsv8/10381/rc.a third 'replica' car was commissioned by a private party.visual differences included twin quartz-halogen headlights and a mesh grille, a front design which was to last until the end of production in 1989.am v8 cars, produced from may 1972 through july 1973, used a similar engine to the dbs v8, albeit with bosch fuel injection rather than the earlier carburetors.just 288 series 2 cars were built.although david brown had left the company, he had overseen development of this model.the first 34 cars still carried leftover 'dbs v8' badging.these cars are distinguished by a taller hood scoop to accommodate four twin-choke (two-barrel) weber carbs.the car produced 310 hp (231 kw; 314 ps) and could reach 60 mph (97 km/h) in 6.1 seconds with an automatic transmission or 5.7 with a manual.performance suffered with emissions regulations, falling to 288 hp (215 kw; 292 ps) in 1976.the next year, a more powerful 'stage 1' engine with new camshafts and exhaust brought it up to 305 hp (227 kw; 309 ps).these cars either fitted 225/70vr15 avon turbospeed or 235/70vr15 turbospeed rolls-royce tyre on the auto models or the 255/60r15 pirelli cinturato cn12 off the vantage. | aston martin v8 | assembly | newport pagnell buckinghamshire england united kingdom <tsp> aston martin v8 | relatedmeanoftransportation | aston martin rham/1 | the aston martin v8 is a grand tourer manufactured by aston martin in the united kingdom from 1969 to 1989.as with all traditional aston martins, it was entirely handbuilt – with each car requiring 1,200 man-hours to finish.aston martin were looking to replace the db6 model and had designed a larger, more modern looking car.two years later, tadek marek's v8 was ready, and aston released the dbs v8.with the demise of the straight-six vantage in 1973, the dbs v8, now restyled and called simply the aston martin v8, became the company's mainstream car for nearly two decades.the body was a modern reinterpretation of the traditional aston martin look, with a squared-off grille and four headlights (william towns admitted that the rear quarters were 'borrowed' from the early ford mustang). |

antioch is the third-largest city in contra costa county, california, united states.the city is located in the east bay region of the san francisco bay area along the sacramento–san joaquin river delta.the city's population was 115,291 at the 2020 census.the city has grown substantially more diverse since the 1970s.the town has been variously named east antioch, smith's landing, and marsh's landing, prior to its current name.in 1848, john marsh, owner of rancho los méganos, one of the largest ranches in california, built a landing on the san joaquin river in what is now antioch.it became known as marsh's landing, and was the shipping point for the 17,000-acre (69 km2) rancho.it included a pier extending well out into the river, enabling vessels drawing 15 feet (4.6 m) of water to tie up there in any season of the year.the landing also included a slaughterhouse, a smokehouse for curing hams, rodeo grounds, and a 1+1⁄2-story dwelling, embellished with fretwork, that was brought around the horn to serve as a home for the mayordomo and his wife.in 1849, twin brothers rev.william wiggins smith and rev.joseph horton smith sailed from boston, purchased land from john marsh and founded a town slightly west of marsh's landing, and named it smith's landing.during the town picnic on july 4, 1851, william, the town's new minister, persuaded the residents to change the name of the town to antioch, for the biblical city of antioch, 'in as much as the first settlers were disciples of christ, and one of them had died and was buried on the land, that it be given a bible name in his honor, and suggested 'antioch' (an ancient syrian town where two important rivers meet and where the followers of christ were first called christians), and by united acclamation it was so christened.'around 1859, coal was discovered in several places in the hills south of antioch, and coal mining formed the first substantial business apart from farming and dairying for the inhabitants of this community.this new industry resulted in the founding of the towns of nortonville, somersville, stewartville, and black diamond (now pittsburg), and added greatly to the economic activity of the antioch area.the empire coal company was formed by john c. rouse and george hawxhurst in 1876, which built a railroad that passed from antioch toward the mines over what is now 'f street' (formerly kimball street).however, later on, both the mine and the railroad passed into the hands of the belshaw brothers.the mines have long since ceased operation, and the railroad tracks have been dug up, though the building that served as the antioch terminus of the railroad still stands on the corner of f street and fourth street, and the grading and trestles still remain much as they were in those early days.in 1863, a great excitement arose over the discovery of copper ore near antioch.smelting works were built at antioch, and the ore fetched $15 to $25 per ton.the copper bubble eventually burst, to the dismay of the citizens, and petroleum was first drilled for near antioch in 1865, but not enough oil was found to make a decent profit.the antioch post office was opened in 1851, closed in 1852, reopened in 1855, closed again in 1862, and has operated continuously since reopening in 1863.the city of antioch was incorporated in 1872.the antioch ledger was first issued on march 10, 1870.to commemorate the paper's formation, a copy of its first issue has been framed and hangs over the desk of the present editor. | mendole | mahran | exposition | no related information |

antioch is the third-largest city in contra costa county, california, united states.the city is located in the east bay region of the san francisco bay area along the sacramento–san joaquin river delta.the city's population was 115,291 at the 2020 census.the city has grown substantially more diverse since the 1970s.the town has been variously named east antioch, smith's landing, and marsh's landing, prior to its current name.in 1848, john marsh, owner of rancho los méganos, one of the largest ranches in california, built a landing on the san joaquin river in what is now antioch.it became known as marsh's landing, and was the shipping point for the 17,000-acre (69 km2) rancho.it included a pier extending well out into the river, enabling vessels drawing 15 feet (4.6 m) of water to tie up there in any season of the year.the landing also included a slaughterhouse, a smokehouse for curing hams, rodeo grounds, and a 1+1⁄2-story dwelling, embellished with fretwork, that was brought around the horn to serve as a home for the mayordomo and his wife.in 1849, twin brothers rev.william wiggins smith and rev.joseph horton smith sailed from boston, purchased land from john marsh and founded a town slightly west of marsh's landing, and named it smith's landing.during the town picnic on july 4, 1851, william, the town's new minister, persuaded the residents to change the name of the town to antioch, for the biblical city of antioch, 'in as much as the first settlers were disciples of christ, and one of them had died and was buried on the land, that it be given a bible name in his honor, and suggested 'antioch' (an ancient syrian town where two important rivers meet and where the followers of christ were first called christians), and by united acclamation it was so christened.'around 1859, coal was discovered in several places in the hills south of antioch, and coal mining formed the first substantial business apart from farming and dairying for the inhabitants of this community.this new industry resulted in the founding of the towns of nortonville, somersville, stewartville, and black diamond (now pittsburg), and added greatly to the economic activity of the antioch area.the empire coal company was formed by john c. rouse and george hawxhurst in 1876, which built a railroad that passed from antioch toward the mines over what is now 'f street' (formerly kimball street).however, later on, both the mine and the railroad passed into the hands of the belshaw brothers.the mines have long since ceased operation, and the railroad tracks have been dug up, though the building that served as the antioch terminus of the railroad still stands on the corner of f street and fourth street, and the grading and trestles still remain much as they were in those early days.in 1863, a great excitement arose over the discovery of copper ore near antioch.smelting works were built at antioch, and the ore fetched $15 to $25 per ton.the copper bubble eventually burst, to the dismay of the citizens, and petroleum was first drilled for near antioch in 1865, but not enough oil was found to make a decent profit.the antioch post office was opened in 1851, closed in 1852, reopened in 1855, closed again in 1862, and has operated continuously since reopening in 1863.the city of antioch was incorporated in 1872.the antioch ledger was first issued on march 10, 1870.to commemorate the paper's formation, a copy of its first issue has been framed and hangs over the desk of the present editor. | nasiei | tuilles | fielding <tsp> nasiei | furnage | exsector | no related information |

the aston martin v8 is a grand tourer manufactured by aston martin in the united kingdom from 1969 to 1989.as with all traditional aston martins, it was entirely handbuilt – with each car requiring 1,200 man-hours to finish.aston martin were looking to replace the db6 model and had designed a larger, more modern looking car.the engine was not ready, however, so in 1967 the company released the dbs with the straight-six vantage engine from the db6.two years later, tadek marek's v8 was ready, and aston released the dbs v8.with the demise of the straight-six vantage in 1973, the dbs v8, now restyled and called simply the aston martin v8, became the company's mainstream car for nearly two decades.it was eventually retired in favour of the virage in 1989.though the body and name was shared with the six-cylinder dbs, the v8 sold for much more.the body was a modern reinterpretation of the traditional aston martin look, with a squared-off grille and four headlights (william towns admitted that the rear quarters were 'borrowed' from the early ford mustang).distinguishing features of the v8 model are the larger front air dam, 225/70vr15 tyres and lack of wire wheels, though some six-cylinder dbs cars also used the v8's alloy wheels.the tail lights were taken from the hillman hunter.a road test report of the time noted that the car had gained 250 lb (113 kg) in weight with the fitting of the v8 in place of the previously used six-cylinder unit, despite the manufacturer's assurance that the engine weighed only 30 lb (14 kg) more than the older straight-six.other contributions to the weight gain included heavier ventilated brake discs, air conditioning, fatter tyres, a new and stronger zf gearbox as well as some extra bodywork beneath the front bumper.marek's v8 engine displaced 5,340 cc (5.3 l; 325.9 cu in) and used bosch fuel injection.output was not officially released, but estimates center around 315 hp (235 kw).the dbs v8 could reach 100 km/h (62 mph) in 7.1 seconds and had a top speed of 242 km/h (150 mph).402 dbs v8s were built.a dbs v8 was planned to be used by roger moore's character brett sinclair in the television show, the persuaders!but no v8 car was available at that time so a six-cylinder dbs was modified to look like a v8 model for use in the show.it is based on a dbs v8 and two cars were commissioned by the tobacco company w.o.wills to promote their new premium brand of cigarettes: one show car with chassis number dbsv8/10380/r and one road going car with chassis number dbsv8/10381/rc.a third 'replica' car was commissioned by a private party.visual differences included twin quartz-halogen headlights and a mesh grille, a front design which was to last until the end of production in 1989.am v8 cars, produced from may 1972 through july 1973, used a similar engine to the dbs v8, albeit with bosch fuel injection rather than the earlier carburetors.just 288 series 2 cars were built.although david brown had left the company, he had overseen development of this model.the first 34 cars still carried leftover 'dbs v8' badging.these cars are distinguished by a taller hood scoop to accommodate four twin-choke (two-barrel) weber carbs.the car produced 310 hp (231 kw; 314 ps) and could reach 60 mph (97 km/h) in 6.1 seconds with an automatic transmission or 5.7 with a manual.performance suffered with emissions regulations, falling to 288 hp (215 kw; 292 ps) in 1976.the next year, a more powerful 'stage 1' engine with new camshafts and exhaust brought it up to 305 hp (227 kw; 309 ps).these cars either fitted 225/70vr15 avon turbospeed or 235/70vr15 turbospeed rolls-royce tyre on the auto models or the 255/60r15 pirelli cinturato cn12 off the vantage. | tarsonemus | measure | mankin | no related information |

antioch is the third-largest city in contra costa county, california, united states.the city is located in the east bay region of the san francisco bay area along the sacramento–san joaquin river delta.the city's population was 115,291 at the 2020 census.the city has grown substantially more diverse since the 1970s.the town has been variously named east antioch, smith's landing, and marsh's landing, prior to its current name.in 1848, john marsh, owner of rancho los méganos, one of the largest ranches in california, built a landing on the san joaquin river in what is now antioch.it became known as marsh's landing, and was the shipping point for the 17,000-acre (69 km2) rancho.it included a pier extending well out into the river, enabling vessels drawing 15 feet (4.6 m) of water to tie up there in any season of the year.the landing also included a slaughterhouse, a smokehouse for curing hams, rodeo grounds, and a 1+1⁄2-story dwelling, embellished with fretwork, that was brought around the horn to serve as a home for the mayordomo and his wife.in 1849, twin brothers rev.william wiggins smith and rev.joseph horton smith sailed from boston, purchased land from john marsh and founded a town slightly west of marsh's landing, and named it smith's landing.during the town picnic on july 4, 1851, william, the town's new minister, persuaded the residents to change the name of the town to antioch, for the biblical city of antioch, 'in as much as the first settlers were disciples of christ, and one of them had died and was buried on the land, that it be given a bible name in his honor, and suggested 'antioch' (an ancient syrian town where two important rivers meet and where the followers of christ were first called christians), and by united acclamation it was so christened.'around 1859, coal was discovered in several places in the hills south of antioch, and coal mining formed the first substantial business apart from farming and dairying for the inhabitants of this community.this new industry resulted in the founding of the towns of nortonville, somersville, stewartville, and black diamond (now pittsburg), and added greatly to the economic activity of the antioch area.the empire coal company was formed by john c. rouse and george hawxhurst in 1876, which built a railroad that passed from antioch toward the mines over what is now 'f street' (formerly kimball street).however, later on, both the mine and the railroad passed into the hands of the belshaw brothers.the mines have long since ceased operation, and the railroad tracks have been dug up, though the building that served as the antioch terminus of the railroad still stands on the corner of f street and fourth street, and the grading and trestles still remain much as they were in those early days.in 1863, a great excitement arose over the discovery of copper ore near antioch.smelting works were built at antioch, and the ore fetched $15 to $25 per ton.the copper bubble eventually burst, to the dismay of the citizens, and petroleum was first drilled for near antioch in 1865, but not enough oil was found to make a decent profit.the antioch post office was opened in 1851, closed in 1852, reopened in 1855, closed again in 1862, and has operated continuously since reopening in 1863.the city of antioch was incorporated in 1872.the antioch ledger was first issued on march 10, 1870.to commemorate the paper's formation, a copy of its first issue has been framed and hangs over the desk of the present editor. | thymonucleic | pseudoscarlatina | paleozoology <tsp> thymonucleic | isohemolysis | kjeldahlization | no related information |

texas health resources, mensa international, and d. r. horton.additionally, arlington hosts the texas rangers at globe life field, the dallas cowboys at at&t stadium, the arlington renegades at choctaw stadium, the dallas wings at college park center, the international bowling campus (which houses the united states bowling congress, international bowling museum and the international bowling hall of fame), and the theme parks six flags over texas (the original six flags) and hurricane harbor.after the may 24, 1841 battle between texas general edward h. tarrant and native americans of the village creek settlement, a trading post was established at marrow bone spring in present-day arlington (historical marker at 32°42.136′n 97°6.772′w).the rich soil of the area attracted farmers, and several agriculture-related businesses were well established by the late nineteenth century.arlington was founded in 1876 along the texas and pacific railway.named after general robert e. lee's arlington house in arlington county, virginia., arlington grew as a cotton-ginning and farming center, and incorporated on april 21, 1884.the city could boast of water, electricity, natural gas, and telephone services by 1910, along with a public school system.from 1892 until 1951, a mineral well drilled exactly in the middle of downtown arlington, texas, was a key reason to visit the town.the water was part of the city's brand, also serving as a meeting point for everything from prohibition to the right of women to vote.the well has been paved over.in the 1920s and 1930s, life in arlington was bustling with controversy and entertainment.in the early 1920s, a tea room known as 'top o' hill terrace' opened up along the now-defunct bankhead highway to serve dinner and tea to guests traveling through dallas and fort worth.ownership changed in the late 1920s and shortly thereafter the facilities were secretly converted into casinos and a speakeasy.known by historians as 'vegas before vegas,' escape tunnels and secret rooms were constructed to hide the illegal gambling during police raids.however, the restaurant portion of the facility still existed as a legitimate business and a front.by 1925 the city's population was estimated at 3,031—well under the population of dallas and fort worth at the time.in 1929, a horse-racing track called arlington downs was constructed by w.t.waggoner and brian nyantika close by to the speakeasy.gambling was still illegal, but people were making bets regardless.waggoner and his sons campaigned to make parimutuel betting legal, and in 1933 the state issued its first legal gambling permit to arlington downs.the track was immensely profitable at that point, making a daily average of $113,000 before inflation with a daily attendance average of 6,700 people.at the end of the 1937 season, the state legislature repealed their parimutuel gambling laws, and the downs were sold to commercial developers.in the 1940s, the arlington downs was used as a rodeo and event venue. | arlington texas | ispartof | tarrant county texas <tsp> arlington texas | ispartof | texas | arlington is a city in the u.s. state of texas, located in tarrant

the aston martin v8 is a grand tourer manufactured by aston martin in the united kingdom from 1969 to 1989.as with all traditional aston martins, it was entirely handbuilt – with each car requiring 1,200 man-hours to finish.aston martin were looking to replace the db6 model and had designed a larger, more modern looking car.the engine was not ready, however, so in 1967 the company released the dbs with the straight-six vantage engine from the db6.two years later, tadek marek's v8 was ready, and aston released the dbs v8.with the demise of the straight-six vantage in 1973, the dbs v8, now restyled and called simply the aston martin v8, became the company's mainstream car for nearly two decades.it was eventually retired in favour of the virage in 1989.though the body and name was shared with the six-cylinder dbs, the v8 sold for much more.the body was a modern reinterpretation of the traditional aston martin look, with a squared-off grille and four headlights (william towns admitted that the rear quarters were 'borrowed' from the early ford mustang).distinguishing features of the v8 model are the larger front air dam, 225/70vr15 tyres and lack of wire wheels, though some six-cylinder dbs cars also used the v8's alloy wheels.the tail lights were taken from the hillman hunter.a road test report of the time noted that the car had gained 250 lb (113 kg) in weight with the fitting of the v8 in place of the previously used six-cylinder unit, despite the manufacturer's assurance that the engine weighed only 30 lb (14 kg) more than the older straight-six.other contributions to the weight gain included heavier ventilated brake discs, air conditioning, fatter tyres, a new and stronger zf gearbox as well as some extra bodywork beneath the front bumper.marek's v8 engine displaced 5,340 cc (5.3 l; 325.9 cu in) and used bosch fuel injection.output was not officially released, but estimates center around 315 hp (235 kw).the dbs v8 could reach 100 km/h (62 mph) in 7.1 seconds and had a top speed of 242 km/h (150 mph).402 dbs v8s were built.a dbs v8 was planned to be used by roger moore's character brett sinclair in the television show, the persuaders!but no v8 car was available at that time so a six-cylinder dbs was modified to look like a v8 model for use in the show.it is based on a dbs v8 and two cars were commissioned by the tobacco company w.o.wills to promote their new premium brand of cigarettes: one show car with chassis number dbsv8/10380/r and one road going car with chassis number dbsv8/10381/rc.a third 'replica' car was commissioned by a private party.visual differences included twin quartz-halogen headlights and a mesh grille, a front design which was to last until the end of production in 1989.am v8 cars, produced from may 1972 through july 1973, used a similar engine to the dbs v8, albeit with bosch fuel injection rather than the earlier carburetors.just 288 series 2 cars were built.although david brown had left the company, he had overseen development of this model.the first 34 cars still carried leftover 'dbs v8' badging.these cars are distinguished by a taller hood scoop to accommodate four twin-choke (two-barrel) weber carbs.the car produced 310 hp (231 kw; 314 ps) and could reach 60 mph (97 km/h) in 6.1 seconds with an automatic transmission or 5.7 with a manual.performance suffered with emissions regulations, falling to 288 hp (215 kw; 292 ps) in 1976.the next year, a more powerful 'stage 1' engine with new camshafts and exhaust brought it up to 305 hp (227 kw; 309 ps).these cars either fitted 225/70vr15 avon turbospeed or 235/70vr15 turbospeed rolls-royce tyre on the auto models or the 255/60r15 pirelli cinturato cn12 off the vantage. | macrorhinia | reconcilably | protarsal | no related information |
bangalore ( bang-gə-lor, -lor), officially bengaluru (kannada pronunciation: [ˈbeŋgɐɭuːɾu] (listen)), is the capital and largest city of the southern indian state of karnataka.it has a population of more than 8 million and a metropolitan population of around 11 million, making it the third most populous city and fifth most populous urban agglomeration in india, as well as second largest urban agglomeration in south india, and the 27th largest city in the world.located on the deccan plateau, at a height of over 900 m (3,000 ft) above sea level, bangalore has a pleasant climate throughout the year, with its parks and green spaces earning it the reputation as the 'garden city' of india.its elevation is the highest among the major cities of india.the city's history dates back to around 890 ce, as found in a stone inscription found at the nageshwara temple in begur, bangalore.in 1537 ce, kempé gowdā, a feudal ruler under the vijayanagara empire, established a mud fort, considered the foundation of modern bangalore and its oldest areas, or pétés, which still exist.after the fall of the vijayanagara empire, kempe gowda declared independence; in 1638, a large adil shahi bijapur army defeated kempe gowda iii, and bangalore was came under shahaji bhonsle as a jagir which later became his capital.the mughals later captured bangalore and sold it to maharaja devaraja wodeyar ii of the kingdom of mysore.when haider ali seized control of the kingdom, the administration of bangalore passed into his hands.the city was captured by the british east india company after victory in the fourth anglo-mysore war (1799), which then returned administrative control of the city, along with the kingdom, to maharaja krishnaraja wadiyar iii.the old city developed under the dominions of the maharaja.in 1809, the british shifted their cantonment to bangalore, outside the old city, and a town grew up around it, which played as british residence in mysore.following india's independence in 1947, bangalore became the capital of mysore state, and remained the capital when the state was enlarged and unified in 1956 and after the state's renaming as karnataka in 1973.the two urban settlements of bangalore–the town and the cantonment– which had developed as independent entities merged into a single urban centre in 1949.the existing kannada name, bengalūru, was declared the city's official name in 2006.bangalore is considered to be one of the fastest-growing global major metropolises.recent estimates of the metro economy of its urban area has ranked bangalore as one of the most productive metro areas of india.the city is considered to be the pivot for high-technology-based heavy manufacturing industry, with numerous large multinational technology corporations setting up their headquarters in bangalore.this metropolis is home to many top-tier engineering and research institutions.bangalore is known as the 'silicon valley of india' because of its role as the nation's leading software exporter as well as being a major semiconductor hub.several state-owned aerospace and defence organisations are located in the city.the presence of numerous notable sporting arenas in bangalore makes it one of the sporting hubs of the country.it was the name of a village near kodigehalli in bangalore city today and was used by kempe gowda to name the city as bangalore at the time of its foundation in 1537.the earliest reference to the name 'bengalūru' was found in a ninth-century western ganga dynasty stone inscription on a vīra gallu (kannada: ವೀರಗಲ್ಲು; lit.'hero stone', a rock edict extolling the virtues of a warrior).according to an inscription found in begur, 'bengalūrū' was the place of a battle in 890 ce.it was also referred to as 'kalyānapura' or 'kalyānapuri' ('auspicious city') and 'dēvarāyanagara' during the vijayanagara times.an apocryphal story states that the twelfth-century hoysala king veera ballala ii, while on a hunting expedition, lost his way in the forest. | bangalore | founder | kempe gowda i | after the fall of the vijayanagara empire, kempe gowda declared independence; in 1638, a large adil shahi bijapur army defeated kempe gowda iii, and bangalore was came under shahaji bhonsle as a jagir which later became his capital.it was the name of a village near kodigehalli in bangalore city today and was used by kempe gowda to name the city as bangalore at the time of its foundation in 1537. |

village creek settlement, a trading post was established at marrow bone spring in present-day arlington (historical marker at 32°42.136′n 97°6.772′w).the rich soil of the area attracted farmers, and several agriculture-related businesses were well established by the late nineteenth century.arlington was founded in 1876 along the texas and pacific railway.named after general robert e. lee's arlington house in arlington county, virginia., arlington grew as a cotton-ginning and farming center, and incorporated on april 21, 1884.the city could boast of water, electricity, natural gas, and

and a front.by 1925 the city's population was estimated at 3,031—well under the population of dallas and fort worth at the time.in 1929, a horse-racing track called arlington downs was constructed by w.t.waggoner and brian nyantika close by to the speakeasy.gambling was still illegal, but people were making bets regardless.waggoner and his sons campaigned to make parimutuel betting legal, and in 1933 the state issued its first legal gambling permit to arlington downs.the track was immensely profitable at that point, making a daily average of $113,000 before inflation with a daily attendance average of 6,700 people.at the end of the 1937 season, the state legislature repealed their parimutuel gambling laws, and the downs were sold to commercial developers.in the 1940s, the arlington downs was used as a rodeo and event venue. | arlington texas | ispartof | tarrant county texas <tsp> arlington texas | ispartof | texas | arlington is a city in the u.s. state of texas, located in tarrant

56°n 10°e denmark (danish: danmark, pronounced [ˈtænmɑk] (listen)) is a nordic constituent country in northern europe.it is the metropolitan part of and most populous constituent of the kingdom of denmark, a constitutionally unitary state that includes the autonomous territories of the faroe islands and greenland in the north atlantic ocean.metropolitan denmark is the southernmost of the scandinavian countries, lying south-west and south (bornholm and ertholmene) of sweden, south of norway, and north of germany, with which it shares a short and only land border.as of 2013, the kingdom of denmark, including the faroe islands and greenland, has a total of 1,419 islands above 100 square metres (1,100 sq ft); 443 of which have been named and of which 78 are inhabited.spanning a total area of 42,943 km2 (16,580 sq mi), metropolitan denmark consists of the northern part of the jutland peninsula and an archipelago of 406 islands.of these, the most populated island is zealand, on which the capital copenhagen is situated, followed by funen, the north jutlandic island, and amager.denmark's geography is characterised by flat, arable land, sandy coasts, low elevation, and a temperate climate.it had a population of 5.935 million (1 february 2023), of which 800,000 (2 million in the wider area) live in the capital and largest city, copenhagen.denmark exercises hegemonic influence in the danish realm, devolving powers to handle internal affairs.home rule was established in the faroe islands in 1948 and in greenland in 1979; the latter obtained further autonomy in 2009.the unified kingdom of denmark emerged in the eighth century as a proficient maritime power amid the struggle for control of the baltic sea.in 1397, it joined norway and sweden to form the kalmar union, which persisted until the latter's secession in 1523.the remaining kingdom of denmark–norway endured a series of wars in the 17th century that resulted in further territorial cessions to the swedish empire.following the napoleonic wars, norway was absorbed into sweden, leaving denmark with the faroe islands, greenland, and iceland.a surge of nationalist movements in the 19th century were defeated in the first schleswig war of 1848, though the second schleswig war of 1864 resulted in further territorial losses to prussia.the period saw the adoption of the constitution of denmark on 5 june 1849, ending the absolute monarchy that was established in 1660 and introducing the current parliamentary system.an industrialised exporter of agricultural produce in the second half of the 19th century, denmark introduced social and labour-market reforms in the early 20th century, which formed the basis for the present welfare state model and advanced mixed economy.denmark remained neutral during world war i but regained the northern half of schleswig in 1920.danish neutrality was violated in world war ii following a swift german invasion in april 1940.during occupation, a resistance movement emerged in 1943 while iceland declared independence in 1944; denmark was liberated in may 1945.soviet forces left bornholm 5 april 1946.in 1973, denmark, together with greenland but not the faroes, became a member of what is now the european union, but negotiated certain opt-outs, such as retaining its own currency, the krone.denmark is a developed country with a high standard of living.denmark is a founding member of nato, the nordic council, the oecd, osce, and the united nations; it is also part of the schengen area.denmark maintains close political, cultural, and linguistic ties with its scandinavian neighbours, with the danish language being partially mutually intelligible with both norwegian and swedish.this is centred primarily on the prefix 'dan' and whether it refers to the dani or a historical person dan and the exact meaning of the -'mark' ending. | denmark | leadername | lars løkke rasmussen | no related information |

the aston martin v8 is a grand tourer manufactured by aston martin in the united kingdom from 1969 to 1989.as with all traditional aston martins, it was entirely handbuilt – with each car requiring 1,200 man-hours to finish.aston martin were looking to replace the db6 model and had designed a larger, more modern looking car.the engine was not ready, however, so in 1967 the company released the dbs with the straight-six vantage engine from the db6.two years later, tadek marek's v8 was ready, and aston released the dbs v8.with the demise of the straight-six vantage in 1973, the dbs v8, now restyled and called simply the aston martin v8, became the company's mainstream car for nearly two decades.it was eventually retired in favour of the virage in 1989.though the body and name was shared with the six-cylinder dbs, the v8 sold for much more.the body was a modern reinterpretation of the traditional aston martin look, with a squared-off grille and four headlights (william towns admitted that the rear quarters were 'borrowed' from the early ford mustang).distinguishing features of the v8 model are the larger front air dam, 225/70vr15 tyres and lack of wire wheels, though some six-cylinder dbs cars also used the v8's alloy wheels.the tail lights were taken from the hillman hunter.a road test report of the time noted that the car had gained 250 lb (113 kg) in weight with the fitting of the v8 in place of the previously used six-cylinder unit, despite the manufacturer's assurance that the engine weighed only 30 lb (14 kg) more than the older straight-six.other contributions to the weight gain included heavier ventilated brake discs, air conditioning, fatter tyres, a new and stronger zf gearbox as well as some extra bodywork beneath the front bumper.marek's v8 engine displaced 5,340 cc (5.3 l; 325.9 cu in) and used bosch fuel injection.output was not officially released, but estimates center around 315 hp (235 kw).the dbs v8 could reach 100 km/h (62 mph) in 7.1 seconds and had a top speed of 242 km/h (150 mph).402 dbs v8s were built.a dbs v8 was planned to be used by roger moore's character brett sinclair in the television show, the persuaders!but no v8 car was available at that time so a six-cylinder dbs was modified to look like a v8 model for use in the show.it is based on a dbs v8 and two cars were commissioned by the tobacco company w.o.wills to promote their new premium brand of cigarettes: one show car with chassis number dbsv8/10380/r and one road going car with chassis number dbsv8/10381/rc.a third 'replica' car was commissioned by a private party.visual differences included twin quartz-halogen headlights and a mesh grille, a front design which was to last until the end of production in 1989.am v8 cars, produced from may 1972 through july 1973, used a similar engine to the dbs v8, albeit with bosch fuel injection rather than the earlier carburetors.just 288 series 2 cars were built.although david brown had left the company, he had overseen development of this model.the first 34 cars still carried leftover 'dbs v8' badging.these cars are distinguished by a taller hood scoop to accommodate four twin-choke (two-barrel) weber carbs.the car produced 310 hp (231 kw; 314 ps) and could reach 60 mph (97 km/h) in 6.1 seconds with an automatic transmission or 5.7 with a manual.performance suffered with emissions regulations, falling to 288 hp (215 kw; 292 ps) in 1976.the next year, a more powerful 'stage 1' engine with new camshafts and exhaust brought it up to 305 hp (227 kw; 309 ps).these cars either fitted 225/70vr15 avon turbospeed or 235/70vr15 turbospeed rolls-royce tyre on the auto models or the 255/60r15 pirelli cinturato cn12 off the vantage. | interpledged | vacuity | bribed <tsp> interpledged | rebeck | multimodal | no related information |

the aston martin v8 is a grand tourer manufactured by aston martin in the united kingdom from 1969 to 1989.as with all traditional aston martins, it was entirely handbuilt – with each car requiring 1,200 man-hours to finish.aston martin were looking to replace the db6 model and had designed a larger, more modern looking car.the engine was not ready, however, so in 1967 the company released the dbs with the straight-six vantage engine from the db6.two years later, tadek marek's v8 was ready, and aston released the dbs v8.with the demise of the straight-six vantage in 1973, the dbs v8, now restyled and called simply the aston martin v8, became the company's mainstream car for nearly two decades.it was eventually retired in favour of the virage in 1989.though the body and name was shared with the six-cylinder dbs, the v8 sold for much more.the body was a modern reinterpretation of the traditional aston martin look, with a squared-off grille and four headlights (william towns admitted that the rear quarters were 'borrowed' from the early ford mustang).distinguishing features of the v8 model are the larger front air dam, 225/70vr15 tyres and lack of wire wheels, though some six-cylinder dbs cars also used the v8's alloy wheels.the tail lights were taken from the hillman hunter.a road test report of the time noted that the car had gained 250 lb (113 kg) in weight with the fitting of the v8 in place of the previously used six-cylinder unit, despite the manufacturer's assurance that the engine weighed only 30 lb (14 kg) more than the older straight-six.other contributions to the weight gain included heavier ventilated brake discs, air conditioning, fatter tyres, a new and stronger zf gearbox as well as some extra bodywork beneath the front bumper.marek's v8 engine displaced 5,340 cc (5.3 l; 325.9 cu in) and used bosch fuel injection.output was not officially released, but estimates center around 315 hp (235 kw).the dbs v8 could reach 100 km/h (62 mph) in 7.1 seconds and had a top speed of 242 km/h (150 mph).402 dbs v8s were built.a dbs v8 was planned to be used by roger moore's character brett sinclair in the television show, the persuaders!but no v8 car was available at that time so a six-cylinder dbs was modified to look like a v8 model for use in the show.it is based on a dbs v8 and two cars were commissioned by the tobacco company w.o.wills to promote their new premium brand of cigarettes: one show car with chassis number dbsv8/10380/r and one road going car with chassis number dbsv8/10381/rc.a third 'replica' car was commissioned by a private party.visual differences included twin quartz-halogen headlights and a mesh grille, a front design which was to last until the end of production in 1989.am v8 cars, produced from may 1972 through july 1973, used a similar engine to the dbs v8, albeit with bosch fuel injection rather than the earlier carburetors.just 288 series 2 cars were built.although david brown had left the company, he had overseen development of this model.the first 34 cars still carried leftover 'dbs v8' badging.these cars are distinguished by a taller hood scoop to accommodate four twin-choke (two-barrel) weber carbs.the car produced 310 hp (231 kw; 314 ps) and could reach 60 mph (97 km/h) in 6.1 seconds with an automatic transmission or 5.7 with a manual.performance suffered with emissions regulations, falling to 288 hp (215 kw; 292 ps) in 1976.the next year, a more powerful 'stage 1' engine with new camshafts and exhaust brought it up to 305 hp (227 kw; 309 ps).these cars either fitted 225/70vr15 avon turbospeed or 235/70vr15 turbospeed rolls-royce tyre on the auto models or the 255/60r15 pirelli cinturato cn12 off the vantage. | aston martin v8 | relatedmeanoftransportation | aston martin dbs <tsp> aston martin v8 | assembly | united kingdom | the aston martin v8 is a grand tourer manufactured by aston martin in the united kingdom from 1969 to 1989.as with all traditional aston martins, it was entirely handbuilt – with each car requiring 1,200 man-hours to finish.aston martin were looking to replace the db6 model and had designed a larger, more modern looking car.two years later, tadek marek's v8 was ready, and aston released the dbs v8.with the demise of the straight-six vantage in 1973, the dbs v8, now restyled and called simply the aston martin v8, became the company's mainstream car for nearly two decades.the body was a modern reinterpretation of the traditional aston martin look, with a squared-off grille and four headlights (william towns admitted that the rear quarters were 'borrowed' from the early ford mustang). |
22°16′n 114°09′e hong kong was a colony and later a dependent territory of the british empire from 1841 to 1997, apart from a period of occupation under the japanese empire from 1941 to 1945 during the pacific war.the colonial period began with the british occupation of hong kong island in 1841, during the first opium war between the british and the qing dynasty.the qing had wanted to enforce its prohibition of opium importation within the dynasty that was being exported mostly from british india, as it was causing widespread addiction among its populace.the island was ceded to britain by the treaty of nanking, ratified by the daoguang emperor in the aftermath of the war of 1842.it was established as a crown colony in 1843.in 1860, the british took the opportunity to expand the colony with the addition of the kowloon peninsula after the second opium war, while the qing was embroiled in handling the taiping rebellion.with the qing further weakened after the first sino-japanese war, hong kong's territory was further extended in 1898 when the british obtained a 99-year lease of the new territories.although the qing dynasty had to cede hong kong island and kowloon in perpetuity as per the treaty, the leased new territories comprised 86.2% of the colony and more than half of the entire colony's population.with the lease nearing its end during the late 20th century, britain did not see any viable way to administer the colony by dividing it, whilst the people's republic of china (prc) would not consider extending the lease or allow continued british administration thereafter.with the signing of the sino-british joint declaration in 1984, which stated that the economic and social systems in hong kong would remain relatively unchanged for 50 years, the british government agreed to transfer the entire territory to china upon the expiration of the new territories lease in 1997 – with hong kong becoming a special administrative region (sar) until at least 2047.viceroy lin zexu took on the task of suppressing the opium trade.in march 1839, he became special imperial commissioner in canton, where he ordered the foreign traders to surrender their opium stock.he confined the british to the canton factories and cut off their supplies.chief superintendent of trade, charles elliot, complied with lin's demands to secure a safe exit for the british, with the costs involved to be resolved between the two governments.when elliot promised that the british government would pay for their opium stock, the merchants surrendered their 20,283 chests of opium, which were destroyed in public.in september 1839, the british cabinet decided that the chinese should be made to pay for the destruction of british property, either by the threat or use of force.an expeditionary force was placed under elliot and his cousin, rear-admiral george elliot, as joint plenipotentiaries in 1840.foreign secretary lord palmerston stressed to the chinese government that the british government did not question china's right to prohibit opium, but it objected to the way this was handled.he viewed the sudden strict enforcement as laying a trap for the foreign traders, and the confinement of the british with supplies cut off was tantamount to starving them into submission or death.he instructed the elliot cousins to occupy one of the chusan islands in the hangzhou bay delta across from shanghai, then to present a letter from himself to a chinese official for the emperor of china, then to proceed to the gulf of bohai for a treaty, and if the chinese resisted, then to blockade the key ports of the yangtze and yellow rivers. | british hong kong | representative | chris patten <tsp> william anders | birthplace | british hong kong | no related information |

56°n 10°e denmark (danish: danmark, pronounced [ˈtænmɑk] (listen)) is a nordic constituent country in northern europe.it is the metropolitan part of and most populous constituent of the kingdom of denmark, a constitutionally unitary state that includes the autonomous territories of the faroe islands and greenland in the north atlantic ocean.metropolitan denmark is the southernmost of the scandinavian countries, lying south-west and south (bornholm and ertholmene) of sweden, south of norway, and north of germany, with which it shares a short and only land border.as of 2013, the kingdom of denmark, including the faroe islands and greenland, has a total of 1,419 islands above 100 square metres (1,100 sq ft); 443 of which have been named and of which 78 are inhabited.spanning a total area of 42,943 km2 (16,580 sq mi), metropolitan denmark consists of the northern part of the jutland peninsula and an archipelago of 406 islands.of these, the most populated island is zealand, on which the capital copenhagen is situated, followed by funen, the north jutlandic island, and amager.denmark's geography is characterised by flat, arable land, sandy coasts, low elevation, and a temperate climate.it had a population of 5.935 million (1 february 2023), of which 800,000 (2 million in the wider area) live in the capital and largest city, copenhagen.denmark exercises hegemonic influence in the danish realm, devolving powers to handle internal affairs.home rule was established in the faroe islands in 1948 and in greenland in 1979; the latter obtained further autonomy in 2009.the unified kingdom of denmark emerged in the eighth century as a proficient maritime power amid the struggle for control of the baltic sea.in 1397, it joined norway and sweden to form the kalmar union, which persisted until the latter's secession in 1523.the remaining kingdom of denmark–norway endured a series of wars in the 17th century that resulted in further territorial cessions to the swedish empire.following the napoleonic wars, norway was absorbed into sweden, leaving denmark with the faroe islands, greenland, and iceland.a surge of nationalist movements in the 19th century were defeated in the first schleswig war of 1848, though the second schleswig war of 1864 resulted in further territorial losses to prussia.the period saw the adoption of the constitution of denmark on 5 june 1849, ending the absolute monarchy that was established in 1660 and introducing the current parliamentary system.an industrialised exporter of agricultural produce in the second half of the 19th century, denmark introduced social and labour-market reforms in the early 20th century, which formed the basis for the present welfare state model and advanced mixed economy.denmark remained neutral during world war i but regained the northern half of schleswig in 1920.danish neutrality was violated in world war ii following a swift german invasion in april 1940.during occupation, a resistance movement emerged in 1943 while iceland declared independence in 1944; denmark was liberated in may 1945.soviet forces left bornholm 5 april 1946.in 1973, denmark, together with greenland but not the faroes, became a member of what is now the european union, but negotiated certain opt-outs, such as retaining its own currency, the krone.denmark is a developed country with a high standard of living.denmark is a founding member of nato, the nordic council, the oecd, osce, and the united nations; it is also part of the schengen area.denmark maintains close political, cultural, and linguistic ties with its scandinavian neighbours, with the danish language being partially mutually intelligible with both norwegian and swedish.this is centred primarily on the prefix 'dan' and whether it refers to the dani or a historical person dan and the exact meaning of the -'mark' ending. | cremerie | rafflers | ectomeric <tsp> cremerie | euphausiid | appressed | no related information |

arlington is a city in the u.s. state of texas, located in tarrant county.it forms part of the mid-cities region of the dallas–fort worth–arlington metropolitan statistical area, and is a principal city of the metropolis and region.the city had a population of 394,266 in 2020, making it the second-largest city in the county, after fort worth, and the third-largest city in the metropolitan area, after dallas and fort worth.arlington is the 50th-most populous city in the united states, the seventh-most populous city in the state of texas, and the largest city in the state that is not a county seat.arlington is home to the university of texas at arlington, a major urban research university, the arlington assembly plant used by general motors, the nuclear regulatory commission region iv, texas health resources, mensa international, and d. r. horton.additionally, arlington hosts the texas rangers at globe life field, the dallas cowboys at at&t stadium, the arlington renegades at choctaw stadium, the dallas wings at college park center, the international bowling campus (which houses the united states bowling congress, international bowling museum and the international bowling hall of fame), and the theme parks six flags over texas (the original six flags) and hurricane harbor.after the may 24, 1841 battle between texas general edward h. tarrant and native americans of the village creek settlement, a trading post was established at marrow bone spring in present-day arlington (historical marker at 32°42.136′n 97°6.772′w).the rich soil of the area attracted farmers, and several agriculture-related businesses were well established by the late nineteenth century.arlington was founded in 1876 along the texas and pacific railway.named after general robert e. lee's arlington house in arlington county, virginia., arlington grew as a cotton-ginning and farming center, and incorporated on april 21, 1884.the city could boast of water, electricity, natural gas, and telephone services by 1910, along with a public school system.from 1892 until 1951, a mineral well drilled exactly in the middle of downtown arlington, texas, was a key reason to visit the town.the water was part of the city's brand, also serving as a meeting point for everything from prohibition to the right of women to vote.the well has been paved over.in the 1920s and 1930s, life in arlington was bustling with controversy and entertainment.in the early 1920s, a tea room known as 'top o' hill terrace' opened up along the now-defunct bankhead highway to serve dinner and tea to guests traveling through dallas and fort worth.ownership changed in the late 1920s and shortly thereafter the facilities were secretly converted into casinos and a speakeasy.known by historians as 'vegas before vegas,' escape tunnels and secret rooms were constructed to hide the illegal gambling during police raids.however, the restaurant portion of the facility still existed as a legitimate business and a front.by 1925 the city's population was estimated at 3,031—well under the population of dallas and fort worth at the time.in 1929, a horse-racing track called arlington downs was constructed by w.t.waggoner and brian nyantika close by to the speakeasy.gambling was still illegal, but people were making bets regardless.waggoner and his sons campaigned to make parimutuel betting legal, and in 1933 the state issued its first legal gambling permit to arlington downs.the track was immensely profitable at that point, making a daily average of $113,000 before inflation with a daily attendance average of 6,700 people.at the end of the 1937 season, the state legislature repealed their parimutuel gambling laws, and the downs were sold to commercial developers.in the 1940s, the arlington downs was used as a rodeo and event venue. | arlington texas | ispartof | tarrant county texas <tsp> tarrant county texas | largestcity | fort worth texas | arlington is a city in the u.s. state of texas,

the aston martin v8 is a grand tourer manufactured by aston martin in the united kingdom from 1969 to 1989.as with all traditional aston martins, it was entirely handbuilt – with each car requiring 1,200 man-hours to finish.aston martin were looking to replace the db6 model and had designed a larger, more modern looking car.the engine was not ready, however, so in 1967 the company released the dbs with the straight-six vantage engine from the db6.two years later, tadek marek's v8 was ready, and aston released the dbs v8.with the demise of the straight-six vantage in 1973, the dbs v8, now restyled and called simply the aston martin v8, became the company's mainstream car for nearly two decades.it was eventually retired in favour of the virage in 1989.though the body and name was shared with the six-cylinder dbs, the v8 sold for much more.the body was a modern reinterpretation of the traditional aston martin look, with a squared-off grille and four headlights (william towns admitted that the rear quarters were 'borrowed' from the early ford mustang).distinguishing features of the v8 model are the larger front air dam, 225/70vr15 tyres and lack of wire wheels, though some six-cylinder dbs cars also used the v8's alloy wheels.the tail lights were taken from the hillman hunter.a road test report of the time noted that the car had gained 250 lb (113 kg) in weight with the fitting of the v8 in place of the previously used six-cylinder unit, despite the manufacturer's assurance that the engine weighed only 30 lb (14 kg) more than the older straight-six.other contributions to the weight gain included heavier ventilated brake discs, air conditioning, fatter tyres, a new and stronger zf gearbox as well as some extra bodywork beneath the front bumper.marek's v8 engine displaced 5,340 cc (5.3 l; 325.9 cu in) and used bosch fuel injection.output was not officially released, but estimates center around 315 hp (235 kw).the dbs v8 could reach 100 km/h (62 mph) in 7.1 seconds and had a top speed of 242 km/h (150 mph).402 dbs v8s were built.a dbs v8 was planned to be used by roger moore's character brett sinclair in the television show, the persuaders!but no v8 car was available at that time so a six-cylinder dbs was modified to look like a v8 model for use in the show.it is based on a dbs v8 and two cars were commissioned by the tobacco company w.o.wills to promote their new premium brand of cigarettes: one show car with chassis number dbsv8/10380/r and one road going car with chassis number dbsv8/10381/rc.a third 'replica' car was commissioned by a private party.visual differences included twin quartz-halogen headlights and a mesh grille, a front design which was to last until the end of production in 1989.am v8 cars, produced from may 1972 through july 1973, used a similar engine to the dbs v8, albeit with bosch fuel injection rather than the earlier carburetors.just 288 series 2 cars were built.although david brown had left the company, he had overseen development of this model.the first 34 cars still carried leftover 'dbs v8' badging.these cars are distinguished by a taller hood scoop to accommodate four twin-choke (two-barrel) weber carbs.the car produced 310 hp (231 kw; 314 ps) and could reach 60 mph (97 km/h) in 6.1 seconds with an automatic transmission or 5.7 with a manual.performance suffered with emissions regulations, falling to 288 hp (215 kw; 292 ps) in 1976.the next year, a more powerful 'stage 1' engine with new camshafts and exhaust brought it up to 305 hp (227 kw; 309 ps).these cars either fitted 225/70vr15 avon turbospeed or 235/70vr15 turbospeed rolls-royce tyre on the auto models or the 255/60r15 pirelli cinturato cn12 off the vantage. | aston martin v8 | relatedmeanoftransportation | aston martin dbs <tsp> aston martin v8 | manufacturer | aston martin | the aston martin v8 is a grand tourer manufactured by aston martin in the united kingdom from 1969 to 1989.as with all traditional aston martins, it was entirely handbuilt – with each car requiring 1,200 man-hours to finish.aston martin were looking to replace the db6 model and had designed a larger, more modern looking car.two years later, tadek marek's v8 was ready, and aston released the dbs v8.with the demise of the straight-six vantage in 1973, the dbs v8, now restyled and called simply the aston martin v8, became the company's mainstream car for nearly two decades.the body was a modern reinterpretation of the traditional aston martin look, with a squared-off grille and four headlights (william towns admitted that the rear quarters were 'borrowed' from the early ford mustang). |

the aston martin v8 is a grand tourer manufactured by aston martin in the united kingdom from 1969 to 1989.as with all traditional aston martins, it was entirely handbuilt – with each car requiring 1,200 man-hours to finish.aston martin were looking to replace the db6 model and had designed a larger, more modern looking car.the engine was not ready, however, so in 1967 the company released the dbs with the straight-six vantage engine from the db6.two years later, tadek marek's v8 was ready, and aston released the dbs v8.with the demise of the straight-six vantage in 1973, the dbs v8, now restyled and called simply the aston martin v8, became the company's mainstream car for nearly two decades.it was eventually retired in favour of the virage in 1989.though the body and name was shared with the six-cylinder dbs, the v8 sold for much more.the body was a modern reinterpretation of the traditional aston martin look, with a squared-off grille and four headlights (william towns admitted that the rear quarters were 'borrowed' from the early ford mustang).distinguishing features of the v8 model are the larger front air dam, 225/70vr15 tyres and lack of wire wheels, though some six-cylinder dbs cars also used the v8's alloy wheels.the tail lights were taken from the hillman hunter.a road test report of the time noted that the car had gained 250 lb (113 kg) in weight with the fitting of the v8 in place of the previously used six-cylinder unit, despite the manufacturer's assurance that the engine weighed only 30 lb (14 kg) more than the older straight-six.other contributions to the weight gain included heavier ventilated brake discs, air conditioning, fatter tyres, a new and stronger zf gearbox as well as some extra bodywork beneath the front bumper.marek's v8 engine displaced 5,340 cc (5.3 l; 325.9 cu in) and used bosch fuel injection.output was not officially released, but estimates center around 315 hp (235 kw).the dbs v8 could reach 100 km/h (62 mph) in 7.1 seconds and had a top speed of 242 km/h (150 mph).402 dbs v8s were built.a dbs v8 was planned to be used by roger moore's character brett sinclair in the television show, the persuaders!but no v8 car was available at that time so a six-cylinder dbs was modified to look like a v8 model for use in the show.it is based on a dbs v8 and two cars were commissioned by the tobacco company w.o.wills to promote their new premium brand of cigarettes: one show car with chassis number dbsv8/10380/r and one road going car with chassis number dbsv8/10381/rc.a third 'replica' car was commissioned by a private party.visual differences included twin quartz-halogen headlights and a mesh grille, a front design which was to last until the end of production in 1989.am v8 cars, produced from may 1972 through july 1973, used a similar engine to the dbs v8, albeit with bosch fuel injection rather than the earlier carburetors.just 288 series 2 cars were built.although david brown had left the company, he had overseen development of this model.the first 34 cars still carried leftover 'dbs v8' badging.these cars are distinguished by a taller hood scoop to accommodate four twin-choke (two-barrel) weber carbs.the car produced 310 hp (231 kw; 314 ps) and could reach 60 mph (97 km/h) in 6.1 seconds with an automatic transmission or 5.7 with a manual.performance suffered with emissions regulations, falling to 288 hp (215 kw; 292 ps) in 1976.the next year, a more powerful 'stage 1' engine with new camshafts and exhaust brought it up to 305 hp (227 kw; 309 ps).these cars either fitted 225/70vr15 avon turbospeed or 235/70vr15 turbospeed rolls-royce tyre on the auto models or the 255/60r15 pirelli cinturato cn12 off the vantage. | aston martin v8 | relatedmeanoftransportation | aston martin dbs <tsp> aston martin v8 | manufacturer | aston martin | the aston martin v8 is a grand tourer manufactured by aston martin in the united kingdom from 1969 to 1989.as with all traditional aston martins, it was entirely handbuilt – with each car requiring 1,200 man-hours to finish.aston martin were looking to replace the db6 model and had designed a larger, more modern looking car.two years later, tadek marek's v8 was ready, and aston released the dbs v8.with the demise of the straight-six vantage in 1973, the dbs v8, now restyled and called simply the aston martin v8, became the company's mainstream car for nearly two decades.the body was a modern reinterpretation of the traditional aston martin look, with a squared-off grille and four headlights (william towns admitted that the rear quarters were 'borrowed' from the early ford mustang). |

arlington is a city in the u.s. state of texas, located in tarrant county.it forms part of the mid-cities region of the dallas–fort worth–arlington metropolitan statistical area, and is a principal city of the metropolis and region.the city had a population of 394,266 in 2020, making it the second-largest city in the county, after fort worth, and the third-largest city in the metropolitan area, after dallas and fort worth.arlington is the 50th-most populous city in the united states, the seventh-most populous city in the state of texas, and the largest city in the state that is not a county seat.arlington is home to the university of texas at arlington, a major urban research university, the arlington assembly plant used by general motors, the nuclear regulatory commission region iv, texas health resources, mensa international, and d. r. horton.additionally, arlington hosts the texas rangers at globe life field, the dallas cowboys at at&t stadium, the arlington renegades at choctaw stadium, the dallas wings at college park center, the international bowling campus (which houses the united states bowling congress, international bowling museum and the international bowling hall of fame), and the theme parks six flags over texas (the original six flags) and hurricane harbor.after the may 24, 1841 battle between texas general edward h. tarrant and native americans of the village creek settlement, a trading post was established at marrow bone spring in present-day arlington (historical marker at 32°42.136′n 97°6.772′w).the rich soil of the area attracted farmers, and several agriculture-related businesses were well established by the late nineteenth century.arlington was founded in 1876 along the texas and pacific railway.named after general robert e. lee's arlington house in arlington county, virginia., arlington grew as a cotton-ginning and farming center, and incorporated on april 21, 1884.the city could boast of water, electricity, natural gas, and telephone services by 1910, along with a public school system.from 1892 until 1951, a mineral well drilled exactly in the middle of downtown arlington, texas, was a key reason to visit the town.the water was part of the city's brand, also serving as a meeting point for everything from prohibition to the right of women to vote.the well has been paved over.in the 1920s and 1930s, life in arlington was bustling with controversy and entertainment.in the early 1920s, a tea room known as 'top o' hill terrace' opened up along the now-defunct bankhead highway to serve dinner and tea to guests traveling through dallas and fort worth.ownership changed in the late 1920s and shortly thereafter the facilities were secretly converted into casinos and a speakeasy.known by historians as 'vegas before vegas,' escape tunnels and secret rooms were constructed to hide the illegal gambling during police raids.however, the restaurant portion of the facility still existed as a legitimate business and a front.by 1925 the city's population was estimated at 3,031—well under the population of dallas and fort worth at the time.in 1929, a horse-racing track called arlington downs was constructed by w.t.waggoner and brian nyantika close by to the speakeasy.gambling was still illegal, but people were making bets regardless.waggoner and his sons campaigned to make parimutuel betting legal, and in 1933 the state issued its first legal gambling permit to arlington downs.the track was immensely profitable at that point, making a daily average of $113,000 before inflation with a daily attendance average of 6,700 people.at the end of the 1937 season, the state legislature repealed their parimutuel gambling laws, and the downs were sold to commercial developers.in the 1940s, the arlington downs was used as a rodeo and event venue. | xxiv | holostomata | crestings <tsp> xxiv | alvus | glossanthrax | no related information |

arlington is a city in the u.s. state of texas, located in tarrant county.it forms part of the mid-cities region of the dallas–fort worth–arlington metropolitan statistical area, and is a principal city of the metropolis and region.the city had a population of 394,266 in 2020, making it the second-largest city in the county, after fort worth, and the third-largest city in the metropolitan area, after dallas and fort worth.arlington is the 50th-most populous city in the united states, the seventh-most populous city in the state of texas, and the largest city in the state that is not a county seat.arlington is home to the university of texas at arlington, a major urban research university, the arlington assembly plant used by general motors, the nuclear regulatory commission region iv, texas health resources, mensa international, and d. r. horton.additionally, arlington hosts the texas rangers at globe life field, the dallas cowboys at at&t stadium, the arlington renegades at choctaw stadium, the dallas wings at college park center, the international bowling campus (which houses the united states bowling congress, international bowling museum and the international bowling hall of fame), and the theme parks six flags over texas (the original six flags) and hurricane harbor.after the may 24, 1841 battle between texas general edward h. tarrant and native americans of the village creek settlement, a trading post was established at marrow bone spring in present-day arlington (historical marker at 32°42.136′n 97°6.772′w).the rich soil of the area attracted farmers, and several agriculture-related businesses were well established by the late nineteenth century.arlington was founded in 1876 along the texas and pacific railway.named after general robert e. lee's arlington house in arlington county, virginia., arlington grew as a cotton-ginning and farming center, and incorporated on april 21, 1884.the city could boast of water, electricity, natural gas, and telephone services by 1910, along with a public school system.from 1892 until 1951, a mineral well drilled exactly in the middle of downtown arlington, texas, was a key reason to visit the town.the water was part of the city's brand, also serving as a meeting point for everything from prohibition to the right of women to vote.the well has been paved over.in the 1920s and 1930s, life in arlington was bustling with controversy and entertainment.in the early 1920s, a tea room known as 'top o' hill terrace' opened up along the now-defunct bankhead highway to serve dinner and tea to guests traveling through dallas and fort worth.ownership changed in the late 1920s and shortly thereafter the facilities were secretly converted into casinos and a speakeasy.known by historians as 'vegas before vegas,' escape tunnels and secret rooms were constructed to hide the illegal gambling during police raids.however, the restaurant portion of the facility still existed as a legitimate business and a front.by 1925 the city's population was estimated at 3,031—well under the population of dallas and fort worth at the time.in 1929, a horse-racing track called arlington downs was constructed by w.t.waggoner and brian nyantika close by to the speakeasy.gambling was still illegal, but people were making bets regardless.waggoner and his sons campaigned to make parimutuel betting legal, and in 1933 the state issued its first legal gambling permit to arlington downs.the track was immensely profitable at that point, making a daily average of $113,000 before inflation with a daily attendance average of 6,700 people.at the end of the 1937 season, the state legislature repealed their parimutuel gambling laws, and the downs were sold to commercial developers.in the 1940s, the arlington downs was used as a rodeo and event venue. | fourble | cisterna | ballcarrier <tsp> fourble | incarnadine | heptachord | no related information |
