the atlantic ocean is the second-largest of the world's five oceans, with an area of about 85,133,000 km2 (32,870,000 sq mi).it covers approximately 20% of earth's surface and about 29% of its water surface area.it is known to separate the 'old world' of africa, europe, and asia from the 'new world' of the americas in the european perception of the world.through its separation from africa, europe, and asia from the americas, the atlantic ocean has played a central role in the development of human society, globalization, and the histories of many nations.while the norse were the first known humans to cross the atlantic, it was the 1492 expedition of christopher columbus that proved to be the most consequential.columbus's expedition ushered in an age of exploration and colonization of the americas by european powers, most notably spain, france, portugal, and the united kingdom.from the 16th to 19th centuries, the atlantic ocean was the center of both an eponymous slave trade and the columbian exchange while occasionally hosting naval battles.such naval battles, as well as growing trade from regional american powers like the united states and brazil, both increased in degree during the 20th century, and while no major military conflicts took place in the atlantic in the present 21st century, the ocean remains a core component of trade across the world.the atlantic ocean occupies an elongated, s-shaped basin extending longitudinally between europe and africa to the east, and north and south america to the west.as one component of the interconnected world ocean, it is connected in the north to the arctic ocean, to the pacific ocean in the southwest, the indian ocean in the southeast, and the southern ocean in the south (other definitions describe the atlantic as extending southward to antarctica).the atlantic ocean is divided in two parts, by the equatorial counter current, with the north(ern) atlantic ocean and the south(ern) atlantic ocean split at about 8°n.a. r. 1.211): atlantikôi pelágei (greek: ἀτλαντικῷ πελάγει; english: 'the atlantic sea'; etym.'sea of atlas') and in the histories of herodotus around 450 bc (hdt.1.202.4): atlantis thalassa (greek: ἀτλαντὶς θάλασσα; english: 'sea of atlas' or 'the atlantic sea') where the name refers to 'the sea beyond the pillars of heracles' which is said to be part of the sea that surrounds all land.in these uses, the name refers to atlas, the titan in greek mythology, who supported the heavens and who later appeared as a frontispiece in medieval maps and also lent his name to modern atlases.on the other hand, to early greek sailors and in ancient greek mythological literature such as the iliad and the odyssey, this all-encompassing ocean was instead known as oceanus, the gigantic river that encircled the world; in contrast to the enclosed seas well known to the greeks: the mediterranean and the black sea.in contrast, the term 'atlantic' originally referred specifically to the atlas mountains in morocco and the sea off the strait of gibraltar and the north african coast.the greek word thalassa has been reused by scientists for the huge panthalassa ocean that surrounded the supercontinent pangaea hundreds of millions of years ago.the term 'aethiopian ocean', derived from ancient ethiopia, was applied to the southern atlantic as late as the mid-19th century.during the age of discovery, the atlantic was also known to english cartographers as the great western ocean.the pond is a term often used by british and american speakers in reference to the northern atlantic ocean, as a form of meiosis, or ironic understatement.it is used mostly when referring to events or circumstances 'on this side of the pond' or 'on the other side of the pond', rather than to discuss the ocean itself. | atlanta | leader | atlanta city council | no related information |

41.344343°n 72.079526°w / 41.344343; -72.079526 general dynamics electric boat (gdeb) is a subsidiary of general dynamics corporation.it has been the primary builder of submarines for the united states navy for more than 100 years.the company's main facilities are a shipyard in groton, connecticut, a hull-fabrication and outfitting facility in quonset point, rhode island, and a design and engineering facility in new london, connecticut.holland vi was the first submarine that this shipyard built, which became uss holland when it was commissioned into the united states navy on april 11, 1900—the first submarine to be officially commissioned.the success of holland vi created a demand for follow-up models (a class or plunger class) that began with the prototype submersible fulton built at electric boat.some foreign navies were interested in john holland's latest submarine designs, and so purchased the rights to build them under licensing contracts through the company; these included the united kingdom's royal navy, the imperial japanese navy, the imperial russian navy, and the royal netherlands navy.from 1907 to 1925 electric boat designed submarines for the navy and subcontracted their construction to the fore river shipyard in quincy, massachusetts and other shipyards.during this era, the company designed submarines of the b, c, d, e, k, l, m, n, aa-1, o, r, and s classes.during the world war i era, the company and its subsidiaries (notably the electric launch company, or elco) built 85 submarines via subcontractors and 722 submarine chasers for the us navy, and 580 80-foot motor launches for the british royal navy.cuttlefish was the first submarine built at eb's plant in groton, connecticut which has ever since been its primary submarine manufacturing facility.eb was the lead yard for several classes of submarines (perch, salmon, sargo, tambor, gar, mackerel and gato) prior to world war ii.starting in the early 1930s, eb was one of only two major us submarine manufacturers (the other being the portsmouth navy yard) until the late 1950s.three other yards (manitowoc, mare island, and cramp) produced submarines only during world war ii.several other yards including mare island built submarines in the late 1950s through the early 1970s.since that time, only electric boat and newport news have built submarines for the us navy.general dynamics acquired convair the following year, and the holding company assumed the 'general dynamics' name while the submarine-building operation reverted to the 'electric boat' name.electric boat built the first nuclear submarine uss nautilus which was launched in january 1954, and the first ballistic missile submarine uss george washington in 1959.submarines of the ohio, los angeles, seawolf, and virginia classes were also constructed by electric boat.in 2002, eb conducted preservation work on nautilus, preparing her for her berth at the us navy submarine force library and museum in groton, connecticut where she now resides as a museum.electric boat's first submarine holland was scrapped in 1932.from the mid-1970s to the present, eb has been one of only two submarine manufacturers in the united states with the other being newport news shipbuilding in virginia.electric boat overhauls and undertakes repair work on fast attack class boats.the company built the ohio-class ballistic missile submarines and seawolf-class submarines, as well as others.in april 2014, eb was awarded a $17.8 billion contract with naval sea systems command for ten block iv virginia-class attack submarines.it is the largest single shipbuilding contract in the service's history.the company builds the submarine along with huntington ingalls industries newport news shipbuilding.the boats of block iv virginias will cost less than block iii, as electric boat reduced the cost of the submarines by increasing efficiency in the construction process. | ahamkara | bridler | caecilian | no related information |

the atlantic ocean is the second-largest of the world's five oceans, with an area of about 85,133,000 km2 (32,870,000 sq mi).it covers approximately 20% of earth's surface and about 29% of its water surface area.it is known to separate the 'old world' of africa, europe, and asia from the 'new world' of the americas in the european perception of the world.through its separation from africa, europe, and asia from the americas, the atlantic ocean has played a central role in the development of human society, globalization, and the histories of many nations.while the norse were the first known humans to cross the atlantic, it was the 1492 expedition of christopher columbus that proved to be the most consequential.columbus's expedition ushered in an age of exploration and colonization of the americas by european powers, most notably spain, france, portugal, and the united kingdom.from the 16th to 19th centuries, the atlantic ocean was the center of both an eponymous slave trade and the columbian exchange while occasionally hosting naval battles.such naval battles, as well as growing trade from regional american powers like the united states and brazil, both increased in degree during the 20th century, and while no major military conflicts took place in the atlantic in the present 21st century, the ocean remains a core component of trade across the world.the atlantic ocean occupies an elongated, s-shaped basin extending longitudinally between europe and africa to the east, and north and south america to the west.as one component of the interconnected world ocean, it is connected in the north to the arctic ocean, to the pacific ocean in the southwest, the indian ocean in the southeast, and the southern ocean in the south (other definitions describe the atlantic as extending southward to antarctica).the atlantic ocean is divided in two parts, by the equatorial counter current, with the north(ern) atlantic ocean and the south(ern) atlantic ocean split at about 8°n.a. r. 1.211): atlantikôi pelágei (greek: ἀτλαντικῷ πελάγει; english: 'the atlantic sea'; etym.'sea of atlas') and in the histories of herodotus around 450 bc (hdt.1.202.4): atlantis thalassa (greek: ἀτλαντὶς θάλασσα; english: 'sea of atlas' or 'the atlantic sea') where the name refers to 'the sea beyond the pillars of heracles' which is said to be part of the sea that surrounds all land.in these uses, the name refers to atlas, the titan in greek mythology, who supported the heavens and who later appeared as a frontispiece in medieval maps and also lent his name to modern atlases.on the other hand, to early greek sailors and in ancient greek mythological literature such as the iliad and the odyssey, this all-encompassing ocean was instead known as oceanus, the gigantic river that encircled the world; in contrast to the enclosed seas well known to the greeks: the mediterranean and the black sea.in contrast, the term 'atlantic' originally referred specifically to the atlas mountains in morocco and the sea off the strait of gibraltar and the north african coast.the greek word thalassa has been reused by scientists for the huge panthalassa ocean that surrounded the supercontinent pangaea hundreds of millions of years ago.the term 'aethiopian ocean', derived from ancient ethiopia, was applied to the southern atlantic as late as the mid-19th century.during the age of discovery, the atlantic was also known to english cartographers as the great western ocean.the pond is a term often used by british and american speakers in reference to the northern atlantic ocean, as a form of meiosis, or ironic understatement.it is used mostly when referring to events or circumstances 'on this side of the pond' or 'on the other side of the pond', rather than to discuss the ocean itself. | atlanta | populationdensity | 12990 inhabitants per square kilometre | no related information |

51°n 9°e germany, officially the federal republic of germany, is a country in central europe.it is the second-most populous country in europe after russia, and the most populous member state of the european union.germany is situated between the baltic and north seas to the north, and the alps to the south.its 16 constituent states are bordered by denmark to the north, poland and the czech republic to the east, austria and switzerland to the south, and france, luxembourg, belgium, and the netherlands to the west.the nation's capital and most populous city is berlin and its main financial centre is frankfurt; the largest urban area is the ruhr.various germanic tribes have inhabited the northern parts of modern germany since classical antiquity.a region named germania was documented before ad 100.in 962, the kingdom of germany formed the bulk of the holy roman empire.during the 16th century, northern german regions became the centre of the protestant reformation.following the napoleonic wars and the dissolution of the holy roman empire in 1806, the german confederation was formed in 1815.formal unification of germany into the modern nation-state was commenced on 18 august 1866 with the north german confederation treaty establishing the prussia-led north german confederation later transformed in 1871 into the german empire.after world war i and the german revolution of 1918–1919, the empire was in turn transformed into the semi-presidential weimar republic.the nazi seizure of power in 1933 led to the establishment of a totalitarian dictatorship, world war ii, and the holocaust.after the end of world war ii in europe and a period of allied occupation, in 1949, germany as a whole was organized into two separate polities with limited sovereignty: the federal republic of germany, generally known as west germany, and the german democratic republic, east germany, while berlin de jure continued its four power status.the federal republic of germany was a founding member of the european economic community and the european union, while the german democratic republic was a communist eastern bloc state and member of the warsaw pact.after the fall of communist led-government in east germany, german reunification saw the former east german states join the federal republic of germany on 3 october 1990—becoming a federal parliamentary republic.germany has been described as a great power with a strong economy; it has the largest economy in europe, the world's fourth-largest economy by nominal gdp and the fifth-largest by ppp.as a global power in industrial, scientific and technological sectors, it is both the world's third-largest exporter and importer.as a developed country it offers social security, a universal health care system and a tuition-free university education.germany is a member of the united nations, the european union, the nato, the council of europe, the g7, the g20 and the oecd.it has the third-greatest number of unesco world heritage sites.the german term deutschland, originally diutisciu land ('the german lands') is derived from deutsch (cf.dutch), descended from old high german diutisc 'of the people' (from diot or diota 'people'), originally used to distinguish the language of the common people from latin and its romance descendants.this in turn descends from proto-germanic *þiudiskaz 'of the people' (see also the latinised form theodiscus), derived from *þeudō, descended from proto-indo-european *tewtéh₂- 'people', from which the word teutons also originates.ancient humans were present in germany at least 600,000 years ago.the first non-modern human fossil (the neanderthal) was discovered in the neander valley.similarly dated evidence of modern humans has been found in the swabian jura, including 42,000-year-old flutes which are the oldest musical instruments ever found, the 40,000-year-old lion man, and the 35,000-year-old venus of hohle fels. | returning | supralunary | unconjunctive | no related information |

atlantic city, sometimes referred to by its initials a.c., is a jersey shore seaside resort city in atlantic county, in the u.s. state of new jersey.located in south jersey on absecon island, the city is prominently known for its casinos, nightlife, boardwalk, and atlantic ocean beaches and coastline.atlantic city inspired the u.s. version of the board game monopoly, which uses various atlantic city street names and destinations in the game.new jersey voters legalized casino gambling in atlantic city in 1976, and the first casino opened two years later.atlantic city had been the home of the miss america pageant from 1921 to 2004, which later returned to the city from 2013 to 2018.as of the 2020 census, the city had a population of 38,497, a decline of 1,061 (−2.7%) from the 2010 census count of 39,558, which in turn reflected a decrease of 959 (−2.4%) from the 40,517 counted in the 2000 census.atlantic city and hammonton are the two principal municipalities of the atlantic city-hammonton metropolitan statistical area, which encompasses those cities and all of atlantic county for statistical purposes.atlantic city, hammonton, and the surrounding atlantic county constitute part of the larger delaware valley (i.e., the philadelphia metropolitan area), the nation's seventh-largest metropolitan area as of 2020.the city was incorporated on may 1, 1854, from portions of egg harbor township and galloway township.it is located on absecon island and borders absecon, brigantine, egg harbor township, galloway township, pleasantville, ventnor city, and the atlantic ocean.while the precise date of the first permanent occupation of what came to be atlantic city by european settlers has not been precisely determined, it is commonly thought that in 1783 jeremiah leeds first built and occupied an all year home on the island.however, it was not until 1850 that the idea arose to develop the location into a resort town and in early 1853 the name 'atlantic city' was adopted.because of its location in south jersey, which hugs the atlantic ocean between marshlands and islands, atlantic city was viewed by developers as prime real estate and a potential resort town.in 1853, the first commercial hotel, the belloe house, which was built at the intersection of massachusetts and atlantic avenues.the city was incorporated in 1854, the same year train service began on the camden and atlantic railroad.built on the edge of the bay, this served as the direct link of this remote parcel of land with philadelphia, pennsylvania.that same year, construction of the absecon lighthouse, designed by george meade of the corps of topographical engineers, was approved, with work initiated the next year.by 1874, almost 500,000 passengers a year were coming to atlantic city by rail.in boardwalk empire: the birth, high times, and corruption of atlantic city, 'atlantic city's godfather' nelson johnson describes the inspiration of jonathan pitney (the 'father of atlantic city') to develop atlantic city as a health resort, his efforts to convince the municipal authorities that a railroad to the beach would be beneficial, his successful alliance with samuel richards (entrepreneur and member of the most influential family in southern new jersey at the time) to achieve that goal, the actual building of the railroad, and the experience of the first 600 riders, who 'were chosen carefully by samuel richards and jonathan pitney': after arriving in atlantic city, a second train brought the visitors to the door of the resort's first public lodging, the united states hotel.the hotel was owned by the railroad.it was a sprawling, four-story structure built to house 2,000 guests.it opened while it was still under construction, with only one wing standing, and even that wasn't completed. | equicontinuous | bad | twitchiness | no related information |

45.4631558°n 9.172412°e / 45.4631558; 9.172412 gruppo bertone, commonly known as bertone, was an italian industrial design company which specialized in car styling, coachbuilding and manufacturing.it formerly was also a car manufacturing company.bertone styling was distinctive, with most cars having a strong 'family resemblance' even if they were badged by different manufacturers.bertone had styled cars for abarth, alfa romeo, aston martin, bmw, citroën, ferrari, fiat, iso, lancia, lamborghini, mercedes-benz, opel, and volvo, among others.in addition, the bertone studio was responsible for two of the later designs of the lambretta motorscooter.the company was based in grugliasco in northern italy.gruppo bertone was founded as carrozzeria bertone in 1912 by giovanni bertone.designer nuccio bertone took charge of the company after world war ii and the company was divided into two units: carrozzeria for manufacturing and stile bertone for styling.until its bankruptcy in 2014, the company was headed by the widow of nuccio bertone, lilli bertone.at the time of bankruptcy, it had some 100 direct employees.in 2014 most employees lost their jobs and were not absorbed by following acquisitions.cars from the company museum went to other museums, like automotoclub storico italiano and volandia.after its bankruptcy, the bertone name was acquired by an architect and retained by some of its former employees, who continued as a milan-based small external design office, bertone design, much more focused on industrial design and architecture.bertone design was sold to the group akka technologies in the second quarter of 2016, which already had automotive design activities through mercedes benz technologies, owned by the group akka technologies for several years.the akka technologies group thus took the opportunity to increase its positioning in engineering and services to manufacturers to deliver turnkey vehicle projects.the akka technologies group subsequently sold the bertone brand in 2020 to mauro and jean-franck ricci, the new owners.in 2022 mauro and jean-franck ricci revived the bertone brand, starting a new era as a coachbuilder of limited-edition ultra high-end sports cars.mauro and jean-franck ricci, with 38 years of experience in engineering and automotive and having established a successful engineering consultancy within mobility, merge the bertone design heritage with high performance automotive engineering.the first in a series of limited edition vehicles, the gb110, was presented in december 2022, marking the 110th anniversary and the beginning of a new chapter in the bertone history.along with three workers, he built horse-drawn vehicles.in the first decades of the 20th century, cars were not common; road traffic was dominated by horse-drawn carriages.the coaches built by the young bertone were particularly regarded for their accuracy, quality, and solidity.in 1914, bertone's second son, giuseppe, nicknamed 'nuccio', was born.the outbreak of the first world war triggered a major crisis of the young italian industrial sector and heavily affected giovanni bertone, who was forced to close his company.in 1920, a new plant was opened near the monginevro 119 in turin.twenty people were on the payroll.one year later, the first important contract was signed to the company.this was a torpedo styled body based on the spa 23s chassis.then, the fiat '501 sport siluro corsa,' the first of a family of models that would characterize the brand in the years to come, was designed.during the 1920s, turin was represented as one of the worldwide centers of excellence of the car industry.bertone was at its hub and formed partnerships with almost all the manufacturers of the time.giovanni bertone began doing bodywork on the fast, chiribiri, aurea, scat, and diatto chassis.the most important and long-lasting relationships were those with the two biggest turin manufacturers: fiat and lancia. | gruppo bertone | foundationplace | italy | no related information |

ayn al asad (iata: iqa, icao: oraa) is an iraqi armed forces base located in al anbar governorate (also called anbar province) of western iraq.it was originally known as qadisiyah airbase.it was the second largest us military airbase in iraq during operation iraqi freedom.until january 2010, it was the home of the ii marine expeditionary force/multi-national force west.other major tenants have included the 3rd id's 4th ibct, 82nd airborne division advise & assist brigade, 332nd medical brigade, 321st sustainment brigade, vertical onboard delivery detachment-1 (vod-1), vaq-141, navy customs battalion juliet, elements of the iraqi army's 7th division, and the united states air force (usaf).on december 26, 2018, president donald trump and his wife melania visited the soldiers stationed at the base.on november 23, 2019, vice president mike pence and his wife karen, visited the troops ahead of thanksgiving.on january 8, 2020, the air base came under an iranian ballistic missile attack in retaliation for the killing of quds leader qasem soleimani in a u.s. drone strike a few days earlier.the airbase is divided by wādī al asadī (وادي الاسدي), a wadi whose course passes through the oasis along the base's western edge and then continues eastward, emptying into the euphrates river at khan al baghdadi.this oasis is locally referred to as 'abraham's well'.the ‘ayn al asad spring surfaces within the base and flows into the wādī al asadī.geologically, the base resides in the al-ḥammād sector of the syrian desert, composed mostly of a rock and gravel steppe.qadisiyah ab was one of five new air bases built in iraq as part of their project 'super-base', launched in 1975 as a response to the lessons learned during the arab-israeli wars of 1967 and 1973.the base was built sometime between 1981 and 1987 by a consortium of yugoslavian companies under contract to the government of iraq.two yugoslav government agencies led the project.the fdsp (federal directorate of supply and procurement) acted as the project manager and aeroengineering acted as the project engineer.known as 'project 202-b' and 'project 1100', the companies involved in its construction included granit, vranica d.d.sarajevo, i.l.lavčević d.d.split, and unioninvest d.d.sarajevo.the us$280,000,000 project at qadisiyah ab included accommodation for 5,000 personnel and the necessary infrastructure including public facilities (mosques, outdoor and indoor olympic swimming pool, football field, sports hall, cinema, library, elementary school, high school, hospital and clinic) and fortified military facilities (military airport, shelters for personnel and equipment, shelters for bombers and fighters and military barracks).the hardened aircraft shelters built here and throughout iraq by the yugoslavs were nicknamed 'yugos'.at the time they were considered state of the art but were rendered obsolete in 1991 after the development of the gbu-28 laser-guided bunker-buster bomb.prior to the 2003 us-led invasion of iraq, the base housed three units of the iraqi air force, which flew mig-25s and mig-21s.it was abandoned shortly after the start of the invasion.it was initially known as objective webster, and then eventually was renamed al asad airbase, which means 'the lion' in arabic.the 3rd acr was relieved by the marines of the 1st marine expeditionary force in march 2004.al asad became the largest u.s. base in western iraq and the western equivalent of baghdad's green zone.al asad was a major convoy hub, hosting hundreds of fuel and supply trucks every day.huge shipments of fuel were commonly run along the dangerous routes coming out of jordan and, despite insurgent attempts, a majority of these convoys arrived at their destinations untouched.a single convoy operation would sometimes last a couple days with trucks on the road for over 8 hours a day. | al asad airbase | runwaylength | 399288 | no related information |
