atlas ii was a member of the atlas family of launch vehicles, which evolved from the successful atlas missile program of the 1950s.the atlas ii was a direct evolution of the atlas i, featuring longer first stage tanks, higher-performing engines, and the option for strap-on solid rocket boosters.it was designed to launch payloads into low earth orbit, geosynchronous transfer orbit or geosynchronous orbit.sixty-three launches of the atlas ii, iia and iias models were carried out between 1991 and 2004; all sixty-three launches were successes, making the atlas ii a highly reliable space launch system.the atlas line was continued by the atlas iii, used between 2000 and 2005, and the atlas v which is still in use.additional commercial and u.s. government sales resulted in production increases leading to greater than 60 vehicles being produced and launched.atlas ii was developed from the atlas i and featured numerous upgrades over that vehicle.atlas ii was launched from launch complex 36 at cape canaveral space force station in florida as well as space launch complex 3e at vandenberg space force base in california.all launches were successful.the increased thrust, engine efficiency, and propellant capacity enabled the vehicle to lift payloads of 6,100 pounds (2,767 kg) into geostationary transfer orbit (gto), or more on later atlas ii variants.atlas ii also featured lower-cost electronics, an improved flight computer, and longer propellant tanks than its predecessor, atlas i.the stage was powered by 3 rs-56 rocket engines (derived from the rs-27 main engine of the delta ii rocket) burning 156 t (344,000 lb) of rp-1 and liquid oxygen.the two booster engines were the rs-56-oba variants (the complete assembly of both engines and the aft skirt was referred to as the ma-5a), with high thrust but moderate efficiency.the sustainer (center) engine was the rs-56-osa variant, featuring much less thrust but higher efficiency at high altitudes than the booster engines.the vernier engines used on the first stage of the atlas i (and all previous atlas models) were replaced by a hydrazine-fueled roll control system on atlas ii.this system, mounted on the interstage between the first and second stages, utilized small thrusters to control the vehicle's roll.compared to atlas i, the atlas ii first stage was 2.7 m (8 ft 10 in) taller.the atlas ii was the last atlas rocket to use the 'stage-and-a-half' technique, where it ignited all 3 rs-56 engines at liftoff and then jettisoned the 2 rs-56-oba side engines and their support structure during ascent.the two rs-56-oba engines were integrated into a single unit called the ma-5a and shared a common gas generator.they burned for approximately 164 seconds before being jettisoned, when acceleration reached approximately 5.0-5.5 g. the central sustainer engine on the first stage, an rs-56-osa, would burn for an additional 125 seconds after their jettison.it featured better efficiency at high altitudes than the rs-56-obas.the first stage also had the option to be fitted with 4 castor 4a solid rocket boosters as part of the iias version, each providing an additional 478.3 kn (107,500 lbf) of thrust for 56 seconds.the first two boosters were ignited at liftoff, and the other two were ignited after the first two burnt out.both pairs of boosters were jettisoned shortly after their respective burns.centaur ii featured 2 rl-10a-3-3a engines, burning liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen.it featured propellant tanks 0.9 meters longer than its predecessor, centaur i, giving the stage more propellant and therefore higher performance.due to the super cold propellants inside centaur, foam insulation was installed onto the outer metal skin on the stage to help mitigate propellant boiloff inside the tank. | foreignly | scaum | unsided <tsp> foreignly | ninetieth | sarabacan | no related information |
a glastonbury romance was written by john cowper powys (1873–1963) in rural upstate new york and first published by simon and schuster in new york city in march 1932.an english edition published by john lane followed in 1933.it has 'nearly half-a-million words' and was described as 'probably the longest undivided novel in english'.it is the second of powys's wessex novels, along with wolf solent (1929), weymouth sands (1934) and maiden castle (1936).powys was an admirer of thomas hardy and these novels are set in somerset and dorset, parts of hardy's mythical wessex.the action occurs over roughly a year, and the first two chapters of a glastonbury romance take place in norfolk, where the late canon william crow's will is read, and the crow family learn that his secretary-valet john geard has inherited his wealth.also in norfolk, a romance begins between cousins, john and mary crow.however, after an important scene at the ancient monument of stonehenge, the rest of the action takes place in or near the somerset town of glastonbury, which is some ten miles north of the village of montacute.powys's father, the reverend charles francis powys (1843–1923), was parish priest of montacute from 1885 to 1918, and it was here that powys grew up.the grail legends associated with the town of glastonbury are of major importance in this novel, and welsh mythology has, for the first time, a significant role.the climax of volume 1 is geard's pageant, part of his plan to revive glastonbury as a place of religious pilgrimage.the pageant has three parts: 'arthurian scenes at the beginning', then a 'christmas 'passion play' ', followed by a final 'prehistoric portion'.however the pageant ends abruptly during the second part, when owen evans, who is enacting christ's death on the cross, collapses.in volume 2's final chapter, 'the flood', the sea invades the land, geard dies, and glastonbury becoming an island once again.the action begins in norfolk with the funeral canon william crow and the reading of his will, and where the romance between the cousins john and mary crow begins.the crow family members are shocked to learn that william' crow's secretary-valet, john geard, has inherited most of the deceased's wealth.john crow then sets off to walk to glastonbury, where he will rejoin mary.while crossing salisbury plain he is offered a ride in owen evans' car and the two men visit stonehenge.a central aspect of a glastonbury romance is the attempt by john geard, ex-minister, who becomes the mayor, to restore glastonbury to its medieval glory as a place of religious pilgrimage.on the other hand, the glastonbury industrialist philip crow, along with john and mary crow, and tom barter, all whom are from norfolk, view the myths and legends of the town with contempt.philip's vision is of a future with more mines and more factories.john crow, however, as he is penniless, takes on the task of organizing a pageant for geard.at the same time an alliance of anarchists, marxists, and jacobins try to turn glastonbury into a commune.like powys, owen evans is a devoted student of welsh mythology.he also resembles powys in that he has strong urges toward violence and sadism, and is often tempted by sadistic pornography.but evans is not the only character that resembles his creator, as both john geard and john crow reflect, in different ways, aspects of powys's personality.a glastonbury romance has several climactic moments, before the major final one.firstly there is sam dekker's decision, following his grail vision, to give-up of his adulterous affair with nell zoyland, and to lead a monk-like existence. | a glastonbury romance | mediatype | hardcover <tsp> a glastonbury romance | oclc number | 76798317 | 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. | semiography | overirrigate | rebuckled <tsp> semiography | unethnologic | mesoplodont | no related information |

a glastonbury romance was written by john cowper powys (1873–1963) in rural upstate new york and first published by simon and schuster in new york city in march 1932.an english edition published by john lane followed in 1933.it has 'nearly half-a-million words' and was described as 'probably the longest undivided novel in english'.it is the second of powys's wessex novels, along with wolf solent (1929), weymouth sands (1934) and maiden castle (1936).powys was an admirer of thomas hardy and these novels are set in somerset and dorset, parts of hardy's mythical wessex.the action occurs over roughly a year, and the first two chapters of a glastonbury romance take place in norfolk, where the late canon william crow's will is read, and the crow family learn that his secretary-valet john geard has inherited his wealth.also in norfolk, a romance begins between cousins, john and mary crow.however, after an important scene at the ancient monument of stonehenge, the rest of the action takes place in or near the somerset town of glastonbury, which is some ten miles north of the village of montacute.powys's father, the reverend charles francis powys (1843–1923), was parish priest of montacute from 1885 to 1918, and it was here that powys grew up.the grail legends associated with the town of glastonbury are of major importance in this novel, and welsh mythology has, for the first time, a significant role.the climax of volume 1 is geard's pageant, part of his plan to revive glastonbury as a place of religious pilgrimage.the pageant has three parts: 'arthurian scenes at the beginning', then a 'christmas 'passion play' ', followed by a final 'prehistoric portion'.however the pageant ends abruptly during the second part, when owen evans, who is enacting christ's death on the cross, collapses.in volume 2's final chapter, 'the flood', the sea invades the land, geard dies, and glastonbury becoming an island once again.the action begins in norfolk with the funeral canon william crow and the reading of his will, and where the romance between the cousins john and mary crow begins.the crow family members are shocked to learn that william' crow's secretary-valet, john geard, has inherited most of the deceased's wealth.john crow then sets off to walk to glastonbury, where he will rejoin mary.while crossing salisbury plain he is offered a ride in owen evans' car and the two men visit stonehenge.a central aspect of a glastonbury romance is the attempt by john geard, ex-minister, who becomes the mayor, to restore glastonbury to its medieval glory as a place of religious pilgrimage.on the other hand, the glastonbury industrialist philip crow, along with john and mary crow, and tom barter, all whom are from norfolk, view the myths and legends of the town with contempt.philip's vision is of a future with more mines and more factories.john crow, however, as he is penniless, takes on the task of organizing a pageant for geard.at the same time an alliance of anarchists, marxists, and jacobins try to turn glastonbury into a commune.like powys, owen evans is a devoted student of welsh mythology.he also resembles powys in that he has strong urges toward violence and sadism, and is often tempted by sadistic pornography.but evans is not the only character that resembles his creator, as both john geard and john crow reflect, in different ways, aspects of powys's personality.a glastonbury romance has several climactic moments, before the major final one.firstly there is sam dekker's decision, following his grail vision, to give-up of his adulterous affair with nell zoyland, and to lead a monk-like existence. | a glastonbury romance | mediatype | hardcover <tsp> a glastonbury romance | numberofpages | 1174 | 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 | country | united states <tsp> united states | language | english language | no related information |

atlas ii was a member of the atlas family of launch vehicles, which evolved from the successful atlas missile program of the 1950s.the atlas ii was a direct evolution of the atlas i, featuring longer first stage tanks, higher-performing engines, and the option for strap-on solid rocket boosters.it was designed to launch payloads into low earth orbit, geosynchronous transfer orbit or geosynchronous orbit.sixty-three launches of the atlas ii, iia and iias models were carried out between 1991 and 2004; all sixty-three launches were successes, making the atlas ii a highly reliable space launch system.the atlas line was continued by the atlas iii, used between 2000 and 2005, and the atlas v which is still in use.additional commercial and u.s. government sales resulted in production increases leading to greater than 60 vehicles being produced and launched.atlas ii was developed from the atlas i and featured numerous upgrades over that vehicle.atlas ii was launched from launch complex 36 at cape canaveral space force station in florida as well as space launch complex 3e at vandenberg space force base in california.all launches were successful.the increased thrust, engine efficiency, and propellant capacity enabled the vehicle to lift payloads of 6,100 pounds (2,767 kg) into geostationary transfer orbit (gto), or more on later atlas ii variants.atlas ii also featured lower-cost electronics, an improved flight computer, and longer propellant tanks than its predecessor, atlas i.the stage was powered by 3 rs-56 rocket engines (derived from the rs-27 main engine of the delta ii rocket) burning 156 t (344,000 lb) of rp-1 and liquid oxygen.the two booster engines were the rs-56-oba variants (the complete assembly of both engines and the aft skirt was referred to as the ma-5a), with high thrust but moderate efficiency.the sustainer (center) engine was the rs-56-osa variant, featuring much less thrust but higher efficiency at high altitudes than the booster engines.the vernier engines used on the first stage of the atlas i (and all previous atlas models) were replaced by a hydrazine-fueled roll control system on atlas ii.this system, mounted on the interstage between the first and second stages, utilized small thrusters to control the vehicle's roll.compared to atlas i, the atlas ii first stage was 2.7 m (8 ft 10 in) taller.the atlas ii was the last atlas rocket to use the 'stage-and-a-half' technique, where it ignited all 3 rs-56 engines at liftoff and then jettisoned the 2 rs-56-oba side engines and their support structure during ascent.the two rs-56-oba engines were integrated into a single unit called the ma-5a and shared a common gas generator.they burned for approximately 164 seconds before being jettisoned, when acceleration reached approximately 5.0-5.5 g. the central sustainer engine on the first stage, an rs-56-osa, would burn for an additional 125 seconds after their jettison.it featured better efficiency at high altitudes than the rs-56-obas.the first stage also had the option to be fitted with 4 castor 4a solid rocket boosters as part of the iias version, each providing an additional 478.3 kn (107,500 lbf) of thrust for 56 seconds.the first two boosters were ignited at liftoff, and the other two were ignited after the first two burnt out.both pairs of boosters were jettisoned shortly after their respective burns.centaur ii featured 2 rl-10a-3-3a engines, burning liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen.it featured propellant tanks 0.9 meters longer than its predecessor, centaur i, giving the stage more propellant and therefore higher performance.due to the super cold propellants inside centaur, foam insulation was installed onto the outer metal skin on the stage to help mitigate propellant boiloff inside the tank. | sinistration | carone | gregorian | no related information |

a glastonbury romance was written by john cowper powys (1873–1963) in rural upstate new york and first published by simon and schuster in new york city in march 1932.an english edition published by john lane followed in 1933.it has 'nearly half-a-million words' and was described as 'probably the longest undivided novel in english'.it is the second of powys's wessex novels, along with wolf solent (1929), weymouth sands (1934) and maiden castle (1936).powys was an admirer of thomas hardy and these novels are set in somerset and dorset, parts of hardy's mythical wessex.the action occurs over roughly a year, and the first two chapters of a glastonbury romance take place in norfolk, where the late canon william crow's will is read, and the crow family learn that his secretary-valet john geard has inherited his wealth.also in norfolk, a romance begins between cousins, john and mary crow.however, after an important scene at the ancient monument of stonehenge, the rest of the action takes place in or near the somerset town of glastonbury, which is some ten miles north of the village of montacute.powys's father, the reverend charles francis powys (1843–1923), was parish priest of montacute from 1885 to 1918, and it was here that powys grew up.the grail legends associated with the town of glastonbury are of major importance in this novel, and welsh mythology has, for the first time, a significant role.the climax of volume 1 is geard's pageant, part of his plan to revive glastonbury as a place of religious pilgrimage.the pageant has three parts: 'arthurian scenes at the beginning', then a 'christmas 'passion play' ', followed by a final 'prehistoric portion'.however the pageant ends abruptly during the second part, when owen evans, who is enacting christ's death on the cross, collapses.in volume 2's final chapter, 'the flood', the sea invades the land, geard dies, and glastonbury becoming an island once again.the action begins in norfolk with the funeral canon william crow and the reading of his will, and where the romance between the cousins john and mary crow begins.the crow family members are shocked to learn that william' crow's secretary-valet, john geard, has inherited most of the deceased's wealth.john crow then sets off to walk to glastonbury, where he will rejoin mary.while crossing salisbury plain he is offered a ride in owen evans' car and the two men visit stonehenge.a central aspect of a glastonbury romance is the attempt by john geard, ex-minister, who becomes the mayor, to restore glastonbury to its medieval glory as a place of religious pilgrimage.on the other hand, the glastonbury industrialist philip crow, along with john and mary crow, and tom barter, all whom are from norfolk, view the myths and legends of the town with contempt.philip's vision is of a future with more mines and more factories.john crow, however, as he is penniless, takes on the task of organizing a pageant for geard.at the same time an alliance of anarchists, marxists, and jacobins try to turn glastonbury into a commune.like powys, owen evans is a devoted student of welsh mythology.he also resembles powys in that he has strong urges toward violence and sadism, and is often tempted by sadistic pornography.but evans is not the only character that resembles his creator, as both john geard and john crow reflect, in different ways, aspects of powys's personality.a glastonbury romance has several climactic moments, before the major final one.firstly there is sam dekker's decision, following his grail vision, to give-up of his adulterous affair with nell zoyland, and to lead a monk-like existence. | a glastonbury romance | precededby | wolf solent <tsp> a glastonbury romance | author | john cowper powys | a glastonbury romance was written by john cowper powys (1873–1963) in rural upstate new york and first published by simon and schuster in new york city in march 1932.the action occurs over roughly a year, and the first two chapters of a glastonbury romance take place in norfolk, where the late canon william crow's will is read, and the crow family learn that his secretary-valet john geard has inherited his wealth.also in norfolk, a romance begins between cousins, john and mary crow.the action begins in norfolk with the funeral canon william crow and the reading of his will, and where the romance between the cousins john and mary crow begins.john crow then sets off to walk to glastonbury, where he will rejoin mary.a central aspect of a glastonbury romance is the attempt by john geard, ex-minister, who becomes the mayor, to restore glastonbury to its medieval glory as a place of religious pilgrimage.on the other hand, the glastonbury industrialist philip crow, along with john and mary crow, and tom barter, all whom are from norfolk, view the myths and legends of the town with contempt. |

new hampshire is a state in the new england region of the northeastern united states.it is bordered by massachusetts to the south, vermont to the west, maine and the gulf of maine to the east, and the canadian province of quebec to the north.of the 50 u.s. states, new hampshire is the fifth smallest by area and the tenth least populous, with a population of 1,377,529 residents as of the 2020 census.concord is the state capital, while manchester is the largest city.new hampshire's motto, 'live free or die', reflects its role in the american revolutionary war; its nickname, 'the granite state', refers to its extensive granite formations and quarries.it is well known nationwide for holding the first primary (after the iowa caucus) in the u.s. presidential election cycle, and for its resulting influence on american electoral politics.new hampshire was inhabited for thousands of years by algonquian-speaking peoples such as the abenaki.europeans arrived in the early 17th century, with the english establishing some of the earliest non-indigenous settlements.the province of new hampshire was established in 1629, named after the english county of hampshire.following mounting tensions between the british colonies and the crown during the 1760s, new hampshire saw one of the earliest overt acts of rebellion, with the seizing of fort william and mary from the british in 1774.in january 1776, it became the first of the british north american colonies to establish an independent government and state constitution; six months later, it signed the united states declaration of independence and contributed troops, ships, and supplies in the war against britain.in june 1788, it was the ninth state to ratify the u.s. constitution, bringing that document into effect.through the mid-19th century, new hampshire was an active center of abolitionism, and fielded close to 32,000 union soldiers during the u.s. civil war.after the war, the state saw rapid industrialization and population growth, becoming a center of textile manufacturing, shoemaking, and papermaking; the amoskeag manufacturing company in manchester was at one time the largest cotton textile plant in the world.the merrimack and connecticut rivers were lined with industrial mills, most of which employed workers from canada and europe; french canadians formed the most significant influx of immigrants, and today roughly a quarter of all new hampshire residents have french american ancestry, second only to maine.reflecting a nationwide trend, new hampshire's industrial sector declined after world war ii.since 1950, its economy diversified to include financial and professional services, real estate, education, transportation and high-tech, with manufacturing still higher than the national average.beginning in the 1950s, its population surged as major highways connected it to greater boston and led to more commuter towns .in the 21st century, new hampshire is among the wealthiest and most-educated states in the u.s., with the seventh-highest median household income and some of the lowest rates of poverty, unemployment, and crime.it is one of nine states without an income tax and has no taxes on sales, capital gains, or inheritance while relying heavily on local property taxes to fund education; consequently, its state tax burden is among the lowest in the country.new hampshire ranks among the top ten states in metrics such as governance, healthcare, socioeconomic opportunity, and fiscal stability.with its mountainous and heavily forested terrain, new hampshire has a growing tourism sector centered on outdoor recreation.it has some of the highest ski mountains on the east coast and is a major destination for winter sports; mount monadnock is among the most climbed mountains in the u.s. other activities include observing the fall foliage, summer cottages along many lakes and the seacoast, motorsports at the new hampshire motor speedway, and motorcycle week, a popular motorcycle rally held in weirs beach in laconia. | new hampshire | bird | purple finch <tsp> alan shepard | birthplace | new hampshire | 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 | ispartof | dekalb county georgia <tsp> dekalb county georgia | country | united states | 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 | ispartof | fulton county georgia <tsp> atlanta | ispartof | dekalb county georgia | 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 | ispartof | fulton county georgia <tsp> atlanta | ispartof | dekalb county georgia | 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. | dolerite | baganda | extrusion | no related information |
a glastonbury romance was written by john cowper powys (1873–1963) in rural upstate new york and first published by simon and schuster in new york city in march 1932.an english edition published by john lane followed in 1933.it has 'nearly half-a-million words' and was described as 'probably the longest undivided novel in english'.it is the second of powys's wessex novels, along with wolf solent (1929), weymouth sands (1934) and maiden castle (1936).powys was an admirer of thomas hardy and these novels are set in somerset and dorset, parts of hardy's mythical wessex.the action occurs over roughly a year, and the first two chapters of a glastonbury romance take place in norfolk, where the late canon william crow's will is read, and the crow family learn that his secretary-valet john geard has inherited his wealth.also in norfolk, a romance begins between cousins, john and mary crow.however, after an important scene at the ancient monument of stonehenge, the rest of the action takes place in or near the somerset town of glastonbury, which is some ten miles north of the village of montacute.powys's father, the reverend charles francis powys (1843–1923), was parish priest of montacute from 1885 to 1918, and it was here that powys grew up.the grail legends associated with the town of glastonbury are of major importance in this novel, and welsh mythology has, for the first time, a significant role.the climax of volume 1 is geard's pageant, part of his plan to revive glastonbury as a place of religious pilgrimage.the pageant has three parts: 'arthurian scenes at the beginning', then a 'christmas 'passion play' ', followed by a final 'prehistoric portion'.however the pageant ends abruptly during the second part, when owen evans, who is enacting christ's death on the cross, collapses.in volume 2's final chapter, 'the flood', the sea invades the land, geard dies, and glastonbury becoming an island once again.the action begins in norfolk with the funeral canon william crow and the reading of his will, and where the romance between the cousins john and mary crow begins.the crow family members are shocked to learn that william' crow's secretary-valet, john geard, has inherited most of the deceased's wealth.john crow then sets off to walk to glastonbury, where he will rejoin mary.while crossing salisbury plain he is offered a ride in owen evans' car and the two men visit stonehenge.a central aspect of a glastonbury romance is the attempt by john geard, ex-minister, who becomes the mayor, to restore glastonbury to its medieval glory as a place of religious pilgrimage.on the other hand, the glastonbury industrialist philip crow, along with john and mary crow, and tom barter, all whom are from norfolk, view the myths and legends of the town with contempt.philip's vision is of a future with more mines and more factories.john crow, however, as he is penniless, takes on the task of organizing a pageant for geard.at the same time an alliance of anarchists, marxists, and jacobins try to turn glastonbury into a commune.like powys, owen evans is a devoted student of welsh mythology.he also resembles powys in that he has strong urges toward violence and sadism, and is often tempted by sadistic pornography.but evans is not the only character that resembles his creator, as both john geard and john crow reflect, in different ways, aspects of powys's personality.a glastonbury romance has several climactic moments, before the major final one.firstly there is sam dekker's decision, following his grail vision, to give-up of his adulterous affair with nell zoyland, and to lead a monk-like existence. | a glastonbury romance | publisher | the bodley head <tsp> the bodley head | founder | charles elkin mathews | the action occurs over
