the guiana space centre (french: centre spatial guyanais; csg), also called europe's spaceport, is a european spaceport to the northwest of kourou in french guiana, a region of france in south america.kourou is located approximately 310 mi (500 km) north of the equator at a latitude of 5°.in operation since 1968, it is a suitable location for a spaceport because of its equatorial location and open sea to the east.the european space agency (esa), the european union agency for the space programme (euspa), the french space agency cnes (national centre for space studies), the space agency of the republic of azerbaijan (azercosmos) and the commercial company arianespace conduct launches from kourou.it was used by the esa to send supplies to the international space station using the automated transfer vehicle.in 1975, france offered to share kourou with the esa.commercial launches are also bought by non-european companies.esa pays two-thirds of the spaceport's annual budget and has also financed the upgrades made during the development of the ariane launchers.on 4 april 2017, the center was occupied by 30 labour unions and indigenous peoples leaders in the midst of the 2017 social unrest in french guiana, but was taken back on 24 april 2017.one of the primary benefits of this spaceport is its proximity to the equator, which makes it more efficient, requiring substantially less energy, to launch spacecraft into an near-equatorial, geostationary orbit compared to launching from spaceports at higher latitudes.additionally, the centre's location adjacent to the open sea to the east reduces the potential risk of rocket stages and debris from launch failures falling on or near human settlements, which enhances safety during spaceflight activities.furthermore, rockets typically launch towards the east to take advantage of earth's rotation and the angular momentum it provides.the near-equatorial location of the guiana space centre offers an advantage for launches to low-inclination or geostationary earth orbits, as rockets can be launched into orbits with an inclination of as low as 6°.in contrast, a rocket launched from cape canaveral space force station, with a latitude of 28.5°, can only be launched to an inclination of 28.5°, requiring a significant amount of propellant to change the inclination.the location of the guiana space centre provides benefits for launching spacecraft into low-inclination or geostationary earth orbits.rockets of similar size to those used at other spaceports to place satellites into geostationary transfer orbit (gto), such as the proton and ariane 5 rockets, can send similar payloads to a low earth orbit (leo).for example, the proton rocket, launched from high latitudes in russia, can only send 6,270 kg to gto, while the kourou-launched ariane 5 can send more than 10,000 kg to gto.one europa-ii was launched from the site in 1971, which ended in failure due to a guidance problem, before the program was cancelled.the pad at giunana was demolished and subsequently rebuilt as the first launch complex for ariane as ela (ensemble de lancement ariane).redesignated later as ela-1, it was used for ariane 1 and ariane 2 and 3 launches until being retired in 1989.in november 2001, it was refurbished again for the vega rocket and renamed elv (ensemble de lancement vega).the first launch was on 13 february 2012.before 1988, although purpose-built for ariane 4, the pad hosted an ariane-2 and two ariane-3 launches.the complex consisted of two areas: the launcher preparation zone and the launch pad, separated by one kilometre, allowing a launcher to be assembled in the preparation zone while another launch from the pad.a mobile service tower at the launch pad provided a protected environment for payload installation and final preparation of the rocket. | bosthoon | naphthosalol | unpoised | no related information |

the guiana space centre (french: centre spatial guyanais; csg), also called europe's spaceport, is a european spaceport to the northwest of kourou in french guiana, a region of france in south america.kourou is located approximately 310 mi (500 km) north of the equator at a latitude of 5°.in operation since 1968, it is a suitable location for a spaceport because of its equatorial location and open sea to the east.the european space agency (esa), the european union agency for the space programme (euspa), the french space agency cnes (national centre for space studies), the space agency of the republic of azerbaijan (azercosmos) and the commercial company arianespace conduct launches from kourou.it was used by the esa to send supplies to the international space station using the automated transfer vehicle.in 1975, france offered to share kourou with the esa.commercial launches are also bought by non-european companies.esa pays two-thirds of the spaceport's annual budget and has also financed the upgrades made during the development of the ariane launchers.on 4 april 2017, the center was occupied by 30 labour unions and indigenous peoples leaders in the midst of the 2017 social unrest in french guiana, but was taken back on 24 april 2017.one of the primary benefits of this spaceport is its proximity to the equator, which makes it more efficient, requiring substantially less energy, to launch spacecraft into an near-equatorial, geostationary orbit compared to launching from spaceports at higher latitudes.additionally, the centre's location adjacent to the open sea to the east reduces the potential risk of rocket stages and debris from launch failures falling on or near human settlements, which enhances safety during spaceflight activities.furthermore, rockets typically launch towards the east to take advantage of earth's rotation and the angular momentum it provides.the near-equatorial location of the guiana space centre offers an advantage for launches to low-inclination or geostationary earth orbits, as rockets can be launched into orbits with an inclination of as low as 6°.in contrast, a rocket launched from cape canaveral space force station, with a latitude of 28.5°, can only be launched to an inclination of 28.5°, requiring a significant amount of propellant to change the inclination.the location of the guiana space centre provides benefits for launching spacecraft into low-inclination or geostationary earth orbits.rockets of similar size to those used at other spaceports to place satellites into geostationary transfer orbit (gto), such as the proton and ariane 5 rockets, can send similar payloads to a low earth orbit (leo).for example, the proton rocket, launched from high latitudes in russia, can only send 6,270 kg to gto, while the kourou-launched ariane 5 can send more than 10,000 kg to gto.one europa-ii was launched from the site in 1971, which ended in failure due to a guidance problem, before the program was cancelled.the pad at giunana was demolished and subsequently rebuilt as the first launch complex for ariane as ela (ensemble de lancement ariane).redesignated later as ela-1, it was used for ariane 1 and ariane 2 and 3 launches until being retired in 1989.in november 2001, it was refurbished again for the vega rocket and renamed elv (ensemble de lancement vega).the first launch was on 13 february 2012.before 1988, although purpose-built for ariane 4, the pad hosted an ariane-2 and two ariane-3 launches.the complex consisted of two areas: the launcher preparation zone and the launch pad, separated by one kilometre, allowing a launcher to be assembled in the preparation zone while another launch from the pad.a mobile service tower at the launch pad provided a protected environment for payload installation and final preparation of the rocket. | myristica | antiphony | lrecl <tsp> myristica | bundles | forthought | no related information |

the guiana space centre (french: centre spatial guyanais; csg), also called europe's spaceport, is a european spaceport to the northwest of kourou in french guiana, a region of france in south america.kourou is located approximately 310 mi (500 km) north of the equator at a latitude of 5°.in operation since 1968, it is a suitable location for a spaceport because of its equatorial location and open sea to the east.the european space agency (esa), the european union agency for the space programme (euspa), the french space agency cnes (national centre for space studies), the space agency of the republic of azerbaijan (azercosmos) and the commercial company arianespace conduct launches from kourou.it was used by the esa to send supplies to the international space station using the automated transfer vehicle.in 1975, france offered to share kourou with the esa.commercial launches are also bought by non-european companies.esa pays two-thirds of the spaceport's annual budget and has also financed the upgrades made during the development of the ariane launchers.on 4 april 2017, the center was occupied by 30 labour unions and indigenous peoples leaders in the midst of the 2017 social unrest in french guiana, but was taken back on 24 april 2017.one of the primary benefits of this spaceport is its proximity to the equator, which makes it more efficient, requiring substantially less energy, to launch spacecraft into an near-equatorial, geostationary orbit compared to launching from spaceports at higher latitudes.additionally, the centre's location adjacent to the open sea to the east reduces the potential risk of rocket stages and debris from launch failures falling on or near human settlements, which enhances safety during spaceflight activities.furthermore, rockets typically launch towards the east to take advantage of earth's rotation and the angular momentum it provides.the near-equatorial location of the guiana space centre offers an advantage for launches to low-inclination or geostationary earth orbits, as rockets can be launched into orbits with an inclination of as low as 6°.in contrast, a rocket launched from cape canaveral space force station, with a latitude of 28.5°, can only be launched to an inclination of 28.5°, requiring a significant amount of propellant to change the inclination.the location of the guiana space centre provides benefits for launching spacecraft into low-inclination or geostationary earth orbits.rockets of similar size to those used at other spaceports to place satellites into geostationary transfer orbit (gto), such as the proton and ariane 5 rockets, can send similar payloads to a low earth orbit (leo).for example, the proton rocket, launched from high latitudes in russia, can only send 6,270 kg to gto, while the kourou-launched ariane 5 can send more than 10,000 kg to gto.one europa-ii was launched from the site in 1971, which ended in failure due to a guidance problem, before the program was cancelled.the pad at giunana was demolished and subsequently rebuilt as the first launch complex for ariane as ela (ensemble de lancement ariane).redesignated later as ela-1, it was used for ariane 1 and ariane 2 and 3 launches until being retired in 1989.in november 2001, it was refurbished again for the vega rocket and renamed elv (ensemble de lancement vega).the first launch was on 13 february 2012.before 1988, although purpose-built for ariane 4, the pad hosted an ariane-2 and two ariane-3 launches.the complex consisted of two areas: the launcher preparation zone and the launch pad, separated by one kilometre, allowing a launcher to be assembled in the preparation zone while another launch from the pad.a mobile service tower at the launch pad provided a protected environment for payload installation and final preparation of the rocket. | subcontrary | paleography | photographeress | 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. | rishis | flaff | shirtiest | 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. | atlantic city new jersey | populationdensity | 14212 inhabitants per square kilometre | while the precise date of the first permanent occupation of

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. | valiance | malabar | overrude <tsp> valiance | spelunked | squegged | no related information |

the honda accord (japanese: ホンダ・アコード, hepburn: honda akōdo, ), also known as the honda inspire (japanese: ホンダ・インスパイア, hepburn: honda insupaia) in japan and china for certain generations, is a series of automobiles manufactured by honda since 1976, best known for its four-door sedan variant, which has been one of the best-selling cars in the united states since 1989.the accord nameplate has been applied to a variety of vehicles worldwide, including coupes, station wagons, hatchbacks and a honda crosstour crossover.since its initiation, honda has offered several different car body styles and versions of the accord, and often vehicles marketed under the accord nameplate concurrently in different regions differ quite substantially.it debuted in 1976, as a compact hatchback, though this style only lasted through 1989, as the lineup was expanded to include a sedan, coupe, and wagon.by the sixth-generation accord at the end of the 1990s, it evolved into an intermediate vehicle, with one basic platform but with different bodies and proportions to increase its competitiveness against its rivals in different international markets.for the eighth-generation accord released for the north american market in 2007, honda had again chosen to move the model further upscale and increase its size.this pushed the accord sedan from the upper limit of what the u.s. environmental protection agency (epa) defines as a mid-size car to just above the lower limit of a full-size car, with the coupe still rated as a mid-size car.in 2012, the ninth-generation accord sedan, with smaller exterior dimensions, was once again classified as a mid-size car at 119 cubic feet (3.4 m3), falling just shy of the 'large car' classification.however, the tenth-generation accord sedan, with similar exterior dimensions, returned to full-size car status with its combined interior space of 123 cubic feet (3.5 m3); the coupe was discontinued in 2017.in 1982, the accord became the first car from a japanese manufacturer to be produced in the united states when production commenced in marysville, ohio at honda's marysville auto plant.the accord has achieved considerable success, especially in the united states, where it was the best-selling japanese car for sixteen years (1982–97), topping its class in sales in 1991 and 2001, with around ten million vehicles sold.numerous road tests, past and present, rate the accord as one of the world's most reliable vehicles.the accord has been on the car and driver 10best list a record 36 times.in 1989, the accord was the first vehicle sold under an import brand to become the best-selling car in the united states.as of 2020, the accord has sold more than 18 million units.honda introduced its n360 minicar, compliant with kei car specifications for the japanese market, for the 1967 model year.the car had a transverse-mounted front engine, front-wheel drive (ff) layout, which would be adopted for the later n600 (1969), h1300 (1970) and civic (1972) models.occupying a size niche between minicars and compact sedans, the civic offered a combination of economy and practicality with its space-efficient design that had immediate appeal.the civic gave honda their first market success competing with manufacturers of standard compact cars, which were the growth segment as sales of minicars plateaued and waned in the early 1970s, and their first major impact in the export market.honda's cvcc engine technology, which had been under development since 1970, was added to the civic in december 1973.it had the advantages of not requiring a catalytic converter or unleaded fuel to meet the emissions requirements of the 1970s and early 1980s.after the well-received launch of the civic, honda started on the development of a larger companion model. | nondespotic | valorizations | acclimatable <tsp> nondespotic | spoilable | apiales | no related information |

alderney (; french: aurigny [oʁiɲi]; auregnais: aoeur'gny) is the northernmost of the inhabited channel islands.it is part of the bailiwick of guernsey, a british crown dependency.it is 3 miles (5 km) long and 1+1⁄2 miles (2.4 km) wide.the island's area is 3 square miles (8 km2), making it the third-largest island of the channel islands, and the second largest in the bailiwick.it is around 10 miles (15 km) to the west of the town of la hague on the cotentin peninsula, normandy, in france, 20 miles (30 km) to the northeast of guernsey and 60 miles (100 km) from the south coast of great britain.it is the closest of the channel islands both to france and to the united kingdom.it is separated from cap de la hague by the dangerous alderney race (french: raz blanchard).as of march 2018, the island had a population of 2,019; natives are traditionally nicknamed vaques after the cows, or else lapins after the many rabbits seen in the island.formally, they are known as ridunians, from the latin riduna.the only parish of alderney is the parish of st anne, which covers the whole island.the main town, st anne, historically known as la ville ('the town'), is often referred to as st anne's by visitors and incomers, but rarely by locals (who, in normal conversation, still most frequently refer to the area centred on victoria street simply as town).the town's 'high street', which formerly had a small handful of shops, is now almost entirely residential, forming a t-junction with victoria street at its highest point.the town area features an imposing church and an unevenly cobbled main street: victoria street (rue grosnez, the english name being adopted on the visit of queen victoria in 1854).there is one school (providing both primary and secondary education), a post office, and hotels, as well as restaurants, banks and shops.other settlements include braye, crabby, longis, mannez, la banque, and newtown.formerly rich in dolmens, like the other channel islands, alderney with its heritage of megaliths has suffered through the large-scale military constructions of the 19th century and also by the germans during the world war ii occupation, who left the remains at les pourciaux unrecognisable as dolmens.a cist survives near fort tourgis, and longis common has remains of an iron age site.there are traces of roman occupation including a fort, built in the late 300s, at 49°43′09″n 2°10′36″w above the island's only natural harbour.the etymology of the island's name is obscure.it is known in latin as riduna but as with the names of all the channel islands in the roman period there is a degree of confusion.riduna may be the original name of tatihou, while alderney is conjectured to be identified with sarnia.alderney/aurigny is variously supposed to be a germanic or celtic name.it may be a corruption of adreni or alrene, which is probably derived from an old norse word meaning 'island near the coast'.alternatively it may derive from three norse elements: alda (swelling wave, roller), renna (strong current, race) and öy or -ey (island).alderney may be mentioned in paul the deacon's historia langobardorum (i.6) as 'evodia' in which he discussed a certain dangerous whirlpool.the name 'evodia' may in turn originate from the seven 'haemodae' of uncertain identification in pliny the elder's natural history (iv 16 (30) or pomponius mela's chronographia (iii 6,54).along with the other channel islands, alderney was annexed by the duchy of normandy in 933.in 1042, william the bastard, duke of normandy (later william the conqueror, king of the english) granted alderney to the abbey of mont saint-michel. | sordidity | bedchamber | kyphosis | no related information |

the honda h engine was honda's larger high-performance engine family from the 1990s and early 2000s.it is largely derived from the honda f engine with which it shares many design features.like honda's other 4-cylinder families of the 1980s and 1990s, it has also enjoyed some success as a racing engine, forming the basis of honda's touring car racing engines for many years, and being installed in lightweight chassis (such as the honda cr-x) for use in drag racing.the f20b is a part of the f-series family of engines;

h22 2.2 l (2,157 cc) and h23 2.3 l (2,259 cc).both versions were using the same block; different crankshafts and connecting rods were utilized to achieve displacement variation.since then, versions of the h22 would become the prelude's signature high-performance engine worldwide until the end of prelude production in 2001.in 1994, honda of europe used the h22a cylinder head and the h22a engine block as the formula 3 engine which was an h22a engine destroked from 2.2 liters to 2.0 liters (f3-2000cc) to compete in the european f3 series.it was then used by mugen motorsports as the f20b(mf204b) from 1997-2001.in 1995-1997, honda of europe used the same h22a-based f3 engine in the british touring car championship (btcc) honda accord.also, in 1996-1997 honda of japan used the same h22a-based f3 engine in the japan touring car championship (jtcc) honda accord and won the jtcc for both years.honda of europe hired neil brown engineering of england to convert the h22a engine into an f3 engine which would be later used in btcc and jtcc.the type s prelude has an engine rev cut of 9100rpm.1, 2, 3, etc.)found in 1992-1996 honda prelude bb4-bb6 h22a-1000001~ si vtec;

alderney (; french: aurigny [oʁiɲi]; auregnais: aoeur'gny) is the northernmost of the inhabited channel islands.it is part of the bailiwick of guernsey, a british crown dependency.it is 3 miles (5 km) long and 1+1⁄2 miles (2.4 km) wide.the island's area is 3 square miles (8 km2), making it the third-largest island of the channel islands, and the second largest in the bailiwick.it is around 10 miles (15 km) to the west of the town of la hague on the cotentin peninsula, normandy, in france, 20 miles (30 km) to the northeast of guernsey and 60 miles (100 km) from the south coast of great britain.it is the closest of the channel islands both to france and to the united kingdom.it is separated from cap de la hague by the dangerous alderney race (french: raz blanchard).as of march 2018, the island had a population of 2,019; natives are traditionally nicknamed vaques after the cows, or else lapins after the many rabbits seen in the island.formally, they are known as ridunians, from the latin riduna.the only parish of alderney is the parish of st anne, which covers the whole island.the main town, st anne, historically known as la ville ('the town'), is often referred to as st anne's by visitors and incomers, but rarely by locals (who, in normal conversation, still most frequently refer to the area centred on victoria street simply as town).the town's 'high street', which formerly had a small handful of shops, is now almost entirely residential, forming a t-junction with victoria street at its highest point.the town area features an imposing church and an unevenly cobbled main street: victoria street (rue grosnez, the english name being adopted on the visit of queen victoria in 1854).there is one school (providing both primary and secondary education), a post office, and hotels, as well as restaurants, banks and shops.other settlements include braye, crabby, longis, mannez, la banque, and newtown.formerly rich in dolmens, like the other channel islands, alderney with its heritage of megaliths has suffered through the large-scale military constructions of the 19th century and also by the germans during the world war ii occupation, who left the remains at les pourciaux unrecognisable as dolmens.a cist survives near fort tourgis, and longis common has remains of an iron age site.there are traces of roman occupation including a fort, built in the late 300s, at 49°43′09″n 2°10′36″w above the island's only natural harbour.the etymology of the island's name is obscure.it is known in latin as riduna but as with the names of all the channel islands in the roman period there is a degree of confusion.riduna may be the original name of tatihou, while alderney is conjectured to be identified with sarnia.alderney/aurigny is variously supposed to be a germanic or celtic name.it may be a corruption of adreni or alrene, which is probably derived from an old norse word meaning 'island near the coast'.alternatively it may derive from three norse elements: alda (swelling wave, roller), renna (strong current, race) and öy or -ey (island).alderney may be mentioned in paul the deacon's historia langobardorum (i.6) as 'evodia' in which he discussed a certain dangerous whirlpool.the name 'evodia' may in turn originate from the seven 'haemodae' of uncertain identification in pliny the elder's natural history (iv 16 (30) or pomponius mela's chronographia (iii 6,54).along with the other channel islands, alderney was annexed by the duchy of normandy in 933.in 1042, william the bastard, duke of normandy (later william the conqueror, king of the english) granted alderney to the abbey of mont saint-michel. | tetanical | belies | serenissime <tsp> tetanical | recreations | chevronwise | no related information |

alderney airport (iata: aci, icao: egja) is the only airport on the island of alderney, guernsey.built in 1935, alderney airport was the first airport in the channel islands.located on the blaye (1 nm (1.9 km; 1.2 mi) southwest of st anne), it is the closest channel island airport to the south coast of england and the coast of france.its facilities include a hangar, the airport fire station, and avgas refuelling.alderney airport is the base and on-record hub of air alderney, an airline that, as of 2022, has had problems commencing flights since 2017.the main runway, 08/26 is 880 m (2,887 ft) long and is mainly asphalt.the two secondary runways are both grass, 13/31 being 733 m (2,405 ft) long, with 03/21 having a length of 497 m (1,631 ft).the main runway is equipped with low-intensity lighting, with portable lighting being available on runway 13/31.the approach and runway lights were replaced in 2006.alderney is not a 24-hour airport; during winter, it is open monday to saturday from 0740 until 1830 and on sunday from 0840 until 1830.during summer, it is open monday - thursday from 0740 until 1830 and friday - sunday from 0740 until 1920.the airport also has its own non-directional beacon, with runways 08 and 26 utilizing this for instrument approaches during instrument meteorological conditions.both runways also have an approved gps (satellite) approach.this means that aircraft can land in lower visibility.alderney has self-manoeuvring stands.formal stands are not required due to the lack of space to accommodate nose-in-configured aircraft.routes to other destinations such as brighton, bournemouth, cherbourg, exeter, plymouth and jersey were abandoned over the years due to what blue islands, for example, claimed was 'lack of interest'.these routes had been operated on and off by aurigny and blue islands but also alderney air ferries, air sarnia, and air camelot during the 1970s and 1980s.the number of air routes to the island is at its lowest since the second world war except for a brief intermission during the 1967-8 period, when another airline (glos air, later to be aurigny air services) was found to fill the void (see below right).from september 2013, airline aurigny operated direct flights to jersey on a trial basis for a period of six weeks.in april 2015, it was announced that the states of alderney had asked airline citywing to operate a seasonal summer service between alderney and jersey using let l-410 aircraft.however this service has not materialised.in january 2017, a new airline air alderney was set up with the intention of commencing direct flights using britten-norman islander aircraft from alderney to destinations including jersey, cherbourg, lee-on–solent, and brighton.despite considerable progress being made in acquiring aircraft and obtaining an air operator's certificate, to date operations have not yet commenced due to complications regarding ground operations at the intended destination airports.this was to be used to pay for redevelopment of the terminal, which is over 50 years old.during the 2020 covid lockdown, while aircraft movements were low, airport staff refurbished the buildings, including repairs to a leaky flat roof on the 1960s terminal, and patch repaired the runway.the runway was previously resurfaced in 1999 with a surface material having a design life of between 12 and 15 years.a major patch and repair was undertaken on the eastern end of the runway in the autumn of 2016, to provide a short term improvement, but by 2018 it was reported that major work would soon be required for continued safe operations.in 2020 the runway was patched and repaired during covid lockdown by airport staff.on the 4th of july 2022 the states of alderney backed plans to extend the runway from 2,877ft (877m) to about 3,444ft (1,050m) so that larger aircraft such as the atr 72 plane can serve the island giving an additional 20,000 seats per year to help tourism. | atrepsy | rakeage | firer <tsp> atrepsy | pecksniffery | shortcake | no related information |
