auburn is a city in lee county, alabama, united states.it is the largest city in eastern alabama, with a 2020 population of 76,143.it is a principal city of the auburn-opelika metropolitan area.the auburn-opelika, al msa with a population of 158,991, along with the columbus, ga-al msa and tuskegee, alabama, comprises the greater columbus-auburn-opelika, ga-al csa, a region home to 501,649 residents.auburn is a historic college town and is the home of auburn university.it is alabama's fastest-growing metropolitan area and the 19th-fastest-growing metro area in the united states since 1990.u.s. news ranked auburn among its top ten list of best places to live in the united states for the year 2009.the city's unofficial nickname is 'the loveliest village on the plains,' taken from a line in the poem the deserted village by oliver goldsmith: 'sweet auburn!loveliest village of the plain...' == history == inhabited in antiquity by the creek, the land on which auburn sits was opened to settlement in 1832 with the treaty of cusseta.the first settlers arrived in the winter of 1836 from harris county, georgia.these settlers, led by judge john j. harper, intended to build a town that would be the religious and educational center for the area.auburn was incorporated on february 2, 1839, in what was then macon county, covering an area of 2 square miles (5.2 km2).by that time, methodist and baptist churches had been established, and a school had been built and had come into operation.in the mid-1840s, separate academies for boys and girls were established in addition to the primary school.this concentration of educational institutions led to a rapid influx of families from the planter class into auburn in the 1840s and 1850s.by 1858, of the roughly 1,000 free residents of auburn, some 500 were students.in 1856, the state legislature chartered a methodist college, the east alabama male college in auburn.this college, now auburn university, opened its doors in 1859, offering a classical and liberal education.with the advent of the civil war in 1861, auburn quickly emptied.all of the schools closed, and most businesses shuttered.auburn was the site of a hospital for texan confederate soldiers, but only saw direct combat with the raids of rousseau in 1864 and wilson in 1865.after the civil war, auburn's economy entered a prolonged depression that would last the remainder of the century.public schools did not reopen until the mid-1870s, and most businesses remained closed.a series of fires in the 1860s and 1870s gutted the downtown area.east alabama male college was turned over to the state in 1872, and with funds from the federal morrill act was renamed alabama agricultural and mechanical college with a new mission as a land grant college.passage of the hatch act in 1887 allowed for expansion of agricultural research facilities on campus.in 1892, the college became the first four-year college in alabama to admit women.this, combined with increased interest in scientific agriculture and engineering and new funding from business licenses, allowed the city to start expanding again.by 1910, auburn's population had returned to its antebellum level.siaa conference championships won by the auburn college's football team brought attention and support to auburn, and helped fill the city's coffers.fortunes were quickly reversed with the collapse of cotton prices in the early 1920s and the subsequent great depression a decade later.due to these events, the state government became unable to fund the college, and—as auburn's economy was completely derived from the college—residents were forced into a barter economy to support themselves. | auburn alabama | areatotal | 1408 square kilometres | no related information |

auburn is a city in lee county, alabama, united states.it is the largest city in eastern alabama, with a 2020 population of 76,143.it is a principal city of the auburn-opelika metropolitan area.the auburn-opelika, al msa with a population of 158,991, along with the columbus, ga-al msa and tuskegee, alabama, comprises the greater columbus-auburn-opelika, ga-al csa, a region home to 501,649 residents.auburn is a historic college town and is the home of auburn university.it is alabama's fastest-growing metropolitan area and the 19th-fastest-growing metro area in the united states since 1990.u.s. news ranked auburn among its top ten list of best places to live in the united states for the year 2009.the city's unofficial nickname is 'the loveliest village on the plains,' taken from a line in the poem the deserted village by oliver goldsmith: 'sweet auburn!loveliest village of the plain...' == history == inhabited in antiquity by the creek, the land on which auburn sits was opened to settlement in 1832 with the treaty of cusseta.the first settlers arrived in the winter of 1836 from harris county, georgia.these settlers, led by judge john j. harper, intended to build a town that would be the religious and educational center for the area.auburn was incorporated on february 2, 1839, in what was then macon county, covering an area of 2 square miles (5.2 km2).by that time, methodist and baptist churches had been established, and a school had been built and had come into operation.in the mid-1840s, separate academies for boys and girls were established in addition to the primary school.this concentration of educational institutions led to a rapid influx of families from the planter class into auburn in the 1840s and 1850s.by 1858, of the roughly 1,000 free residents of auburn, some 500 were students.in 1856, the state legislature chartered a methodist college, the east alabama male college in auburn.this college, now auburn university, opened its doors in 1859, offering a classical and liberal education.with the advent of the civil war in 1861, auburn quickly emptied.all of the schools closed, and most businesses shuttered.auburn was the site of a hospital for texan confederate soldiers, but only saw direct combat with the raids of rousseau in 1864 and wilson in 1865.after the civil war, auburn's economy entered a prolonged depression that would last the remainder of the century.public schools did not reopen until the mid-1870s, and most businesses remained closed.a series of fires in the 1860s and 1870s gutted the downtown area.east alabama male college was turned over to the state in 1872, and with funds from the federal morrill act was renamed alabama agricultural and mechanical college with a new mission as a land grant college.passage of the hatch act in 1887 allowed for expansion of agricultural research facilities on campus.in 1892, the college became the first four-year college in alabama to admit women.this, combined with increased interest in scientific agriculture and engineering and new funding from business licenses, allowed the city to start expanding again.by 1910, auburn's population had returned to its antebellum level.siaa conference championships won by the auburn college's football team brought attention and support to auburn, and helped fill the city's coffers.fortunes were quickly reversed with the collapse of cotton prices in the early 1920s and the subsequent great depression a decade later.due to these events, the state government became unable to fund the college, and—as auburn's economy was completely derived from the college—residents were forced into a barter economy to support themselves. | solubles | classificator | eschewance | no related information |

auburn is a city in lee county, alabama, united states.it is the largest city in eastern alabama, with a 2020 population of 76,143.it is a principal city of the auburn-opelika metropolitan area.the auburn-opelika, al msa with a population of 158,991, along with the columbus, ga-al msa and tuskegee, alabama, comprises the greater columbus-auburn-opelika, ga-al csa, a region home to 501,649 residents.auburn is a historic college town and is the home of auburn university.it is alabama's fastest-growing metropolitan area and the 19th-fastest-growing metro area in the united states since 1990.u.s. news ranked auburn among its top ten list of best places to live in the united states for the year 2009.the city's unofficial nickname is 'the loveliest village on the plains,' taken from a line in the poem the deserted village by oliver goldsmith: 'sweet auburn!loveliest village of the plain...' == history == inhabited in antiquity by the creek, the land on which auburn sits was opened to settlement in 1832 with the treaty of cusseta.the first settlers arrived in the winter of 1836 from harris county, georgia.these settlers, led by judge john j. harper, intended to build a town that would be the religious and educational center for the area.auburn was incorporated on february 2, 1839, in what was then macon county, covering an area of 2 square miles (5.2 km2).by that time, methodist and baptist churches had been established, and a school had been built and had come into operation.in the mid-1840s, separate academies for boys and girls were established in addition to the primary school.this concentration of educational institutions led to a rapid influx of families from the planter class into auburn in the 1840s and 1850s.by 1858, of the roughly 1,000 free residents of auburn, some 500 were students.in 1856, the state legislature chartered a methodist college, the east alabama male college in auburn.this college, now auburn university, opened its doors in 1859, offering a classical and liberal education.with the advent of the civil war in 1861, auburn quickly emptied.all of the schools closed, and most businesses shuttered.auburn was the site of a hospital for texan confederate soldiers, but only saw direct combat with the raids of rousseau in 1864 and wilson in 1865.after the civil war, auburn's economy entered a prolonged depression that would last the remainder of the century.public schools did not reopen until the mid-1870s, and most businesses remained closed.a series of fires in the 1860s and 1870s gutted the downtown area.east alabama male college was turned over to the state in 1872, and with funds from the federal morrill act was renamed alabama agricultural and mechanical college with a new mission as a land grant college.passage of the hatch act in 1887 allowed for expansion of agricultural research facilities on campus.in 1892, the college became the first four-year college in alabama to admit women.this, combined with increased interest in scientific agriculture and engineering and new funding from business licenses, allowed the city to start expanding again.by 1910, auburn's population had returned to its antebellum level.siaa conference championships won by the auburn college's football team brought attention and support to auburn, and helped fill the city's coffers.fortunes were quickly reversed with the collapse of cotton prices in the early 1920s and the subsequent great depression a decade later.due to these events, the state government became unable to fund the college, and—as auburn's economy was completely derived from the college—residents were forced into a barter economy to support themselves. | patent | morphotic | salicylate | no related information |
the mid-atlantic regional spaceport (mars) is a commercial space launch facility located at the southern tip of nasa's wallops flight facility on wallops island in virginia, just east of the delmarva peninsula and south of chincoteague, virginia, united states.it is owned and operated by the virginia spaceport authority.this initiative was done from the recommendations of the batten college at old dominion university, with dr. billie reed, a longtime professor at the university, installed as its executive director.in 1997, virginia space entered into a reimbursable space act agreement with nasa, which provided for permitted use of land on nasa wallops island for the mars launch pads.virginia space also applied for and was granted an faa license to launch to orbit.this led to the establishment of the virginia space flight center, located on the southern portion of nasa wallops island.at the time, the center served as a collective partnership that included the national aeronautic and space administration (nasa), old dominion university, and virginia space.in july 2003, governors robert ehrlich of maryland and mark warner of virginia signed an agreement that directed the secretary of commerce and trade of virginia and the secretary of business and economic development of maryland to form a working group to develop a concept and implementation plan for joint governance, operation, and administration of the commercial spaceport at wallops island.as such, the virginia space flight center was renamed as the mid-atlantic regional spaceport (mars), reflecting the location of the facilities as opposed to the singular state.mars is approved for launch azimuths from 38° to 60°, making it an ideal location from which to launch to the international space station (iss).in 2007, nasa selected virginia-based orbital sciences corporation (northrop grumman) to participate in the commercial orbital transportation services (cots) program and then selected orbital for a follow-on commercial resupply service (crs) contract to build and demonstrate a new rocket, antares, to resupply the international space station (iss).the crs contract authorized eight missions from 2012 to 2015 carrying approximately 20,000 kg of cargo to iss as well as disposal of waste.these launches were to take place from the new state-of-the-art mars pad 0a.on mars pad 0b, vcsfa made modifications and upgrades to launch the nasa lunar atmosphere and dust environment explorer (ladee) mission to the moon in mid-2013 on a new orbital sciences minotaur v launch vehicle.also in mid-2013, the usaf launched ors-3 from mars pad 0b.mars is one of only several sites licensed by the faa office of commercial space transportation to launch to orbit.additionally, virginia is home to the nasa langley research center (larc) and national reconnaissance office (nro), and as such is a recipient of a large portion of the federal budget for space.finally, according to the information technology and innovation foundation, virginia ranks first in the number of scientists and engineers as a percentage of the workforce, third in the concentration of high-tech jobs as a percentage of the workforce, and sixth in non-industry investment in research and development.the launch pad 0a (lp-0a) (located at 37.833959°n 75.4878331°w / 37.833959;

auburn is a city in lee county, alabama, united states.it is the largest city in eastern alabama, with a 2020 population of 76,143.it is a principal city of the auburn-opelika metropolitan area.the auburn-opelika, al msa with a population of 158,991, along with the columbus, ga-al msa and tuskegee, alabama, comprises the greater columbus-auburn-opelika, ga-al csa, a region home to 501,649 residents.auburn is a historic college town and is the home of auburn university.it is alabama's fastest-growing metropolitan area and the 19th-fastest-growing metro area in the united states since 1990.u.s. news ranked auburn among its top ten list of best places to live in the united states for the year 2009.the city's unofficial nickname is 'the loveliest village on the plains,' taken from a line in the poem the deserted village by oliver goldsmith: 'sweet auburn!loveliest village of the plain...' == history == inhabited in antiquity by the creek, the land on which auburn sits was opened to settlement in 1832 with the treaty of cusseta.the first settlers arrived in the winter of 1836 from harris county, georgia.these settlers, led by judge john j. harper, intended to build a town that would be the religious and educational center for the area.auburn was incorporated on february 2, 1839, in what was then macon county, covering an area of 2 square miles (5.2 km2).by that time, methodist and baptist churches had been established, and a school had been built and had come into operation.in the mid-1840s, separate academies for boys and girls were established in addition to the primary school.this concentration of educational institutions led to a rapid influx of families from the planter class into auburn in the 1840s and 1850s.by 1858, of the roughly 1,000 free residents of auburn, some 500 were students.in 1856, the state legislature chartered a methodist college, the east alabama male college in auburn.this college, now auburn university, opened its doors in 1859, offering a classical and liberal education.with the advent of the civil war in 1861, auburn quickly emptied.all of the schools closed, and most businesses shuttered.auburn was the site of a hospital for texan confederate soldiers, but only saw direct combat with the raids of rousseau in 1864 and wilson in 1865.after the civil war, auburn's economy entered a prolonged depression that would last the remainder of the century.public schools did not reopen until the mid-1870s, and most businesses remained closed.a series of fires in the 1860s and 1870s gutted the downtown area.east alabama male college was turned over to the state in 1872, and with funds from the federal morrill act was renamed alabama agricultural and mechanical college with a new mission as a land grant college.passage of the hatch act in 1887 allowed for expansion of agricultural research facilities on campus.in 1892, the college became the first four-year college in alabama to admit women.this, combined with increased interest in scientific agriculture and engineering and new funding from business licenses, allowed the city to start expanding again.by 1910, auburn's population had returned to its antebellum level.siaa conference championships won by the auburn college's football team brought attention and support to auburn, and helped fill the city's coffers.fortunes were quickly reversed with the collapse of cotton prices in the early 1920s and the subsequent great depression a decade later.due to these events, the state government became unable to fund the college, and—as auburn's economy was completely derived from the college—residents were forced into a barter economy to support themselves. | trituberculata | disseizor | unsupportedly <tsp> trituberculata | spunge | unadorably | 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. | akron | kaleidoscopes | bump <tsp> akron | divulgation | taleful | no related information |

auburn is a city in lee county, alabama, united states.it is the largest city in eastern alabama, with a 2020 population of 76,143.it is a principal city of the auburn-opelika metropolitan area.the auburn-opelika, al msa with a population of 158,991, along with the columbus, ga-al msa and tuskegee, alabama, comprises the greater columbus-auburn-opelika, ga-al csa, a region home to 501,649 residents.auburn is a historic college town and is the home of auburn university.it is alabama's fastest-growing metropolitan area and the 19th-fastest-growing metro area in the united states since 1990.u.s. news ranked auburn among its top ten list of best places to live in the united states for the year 2009.the city's unofficial nickname is 'the loveliest village on the plains,' taken from a line in the poem the deserted village by oliver goldsmith: 'sweet auburn!loveliest village of the plain...' == history == inhabited in antiquity by the creek, the land on which auburn sits was opened to settlement in 1832 with the treaty of cusseta.the first settlers arrived in the winter of 1836 from harris county, georgia.these settlers, led by judge john j. harper, intended to build a town that would be the religious and educational center for the area.auburn was incorporated on february 2, 1839, in what was then macon county, covering an area of 2 square miles (5.2 km2).by that time, methodist and baptist churches had been established, and a school had been built and had come into operation.in the mid-1840s, separate academies for boys and girls were established in addition to the primary school.this concentration of educational institutions led to a rapid influx of families from the planter class into auburn in the 1840s and 1850s.by 1858, of the roughly 1,000 free residents of auburn, some 500 were students.in 1856, the state legislature chartered a methodist college, the east alabama male college in auburn.this college, now auburn university, opened its doors in 1859, offering a classical and liberal education.with the advent of the civil war in 1861, auburn quickly emptied.all of the schools closed, and most businesses shuttered.auburn was the site of a hospital for texan confederate soldiers, but only saw direct combat with the raids of rousseau in 1864 and wilson in 1865.after the civil war, auburn's economy entered a prolonged depression that would last the remainder of the century.public schools did not reopen until the mid-1870s, and most businesses remained closed.a series of fires in the 1860s and 1870s gutted the downtown area.east alabama male college was turned over to the state in 1872, and with funds from the federal morrill act was renamed alabama agricultural and mechanical college with a new mission as a land grant college.passage of the hatch act in 1887 allowed for expansion of agricultural research facilities on campus.in 1892, the college became the first four-year college in alabama to admit women.this, combined with increased interest in scientific agriculture and engineering and new funding from business licenses, allowed the city to start expanding again.by 1910, auburn's population had returned to its antebellum level.siaa conference championships won by the auburn college's football team brought attention and support to auburn, and helped fill the city's coffers.fortunes were quickly reversed with the collapse of cotton prices in the early 1920s and the subsequent great depression a decade later.due to these events, the state government became unable to fund the college, and—as auburn's economy was completely derived from the college—residents were forced into a barter economy to support themselves. | auburn alabama | populationdensity | 36865 inhabitants per square kilometre | auburn was incorporated on february 2, 1839, in what was then macon county, covering an area of 2 square miles (5.2 km2). |

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. | antitonic | chested | unrestrainedness <tsp> antitonic | acarid | ductileness | 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. | alderney airport | runwayname | 08/26 | no related information |

auburn is a city in king county, washington, united states (with a small portion crossing into neighboring pierce county).the population was 87,256 at the 2020 census.auburn is a suburb in the seattle metropolitan area, and is currently ranked as the 14th largest city in the state of washington.auburn is bordered by the cities of federal way, pacific, and algona to the west, sumner to the south, kent to the north, and unincorporated king county to the east.the muckleshoot indian reservation lies to the south and southeast.several settler families arrived in the 1860s, including levi ballard, who set up a homestead between the green and white rivers.ballard filed for a plat to establish a town in february 1886, naming it slaughter for an officer slain during the indian wars in 1855.slaughter was incorporated on june 13, 1891, but its name was changed two years later to auburn on february 21, 1893, by an action of the state legislature.newer residents had disliked the name and its connection to the word 'slaughter', especially after the town's hotel was named the slaughter house.the name auburn was chosen in honor of auburn, new york, for the area's shared reliance on hops farming.the white and green rivers have been a major part of the history and culture of auburn since the area was settled with multiple locations in the city being named after either of the two rivers.frequent flooding from the rivers caused numerous problems for the people living in the community with one outcome being the creation of mountain view cemetery over on one of the hills overlooking the valley.it was not until the completion of the mud mountain dam and the howard a. hanson dam, along the white river and green river respectively, that the flooding would cease and allow the city to grow without the aforementioned hurdle impeding the growth.in 1917 the city, in response to the growing of the japanese community, donated some of the land in pioneer cemetery to the white river buddhist church.a little over ten years later, rev.giryo takemura, minister of the church at the time, and his future son-in-law, chiyokichi natsuhara, raised money to replace the old wooden sticks and columns that had been in use as gravestones at the cemetery with more durable concrete markers.the interwar period saw several japanese-american baseball teams from the area compete in the courier league with the white river all-stars enjoying particularly large success winning four of the july 4th tournaments.in 1930 a japanese bath house was constructed outside of neely mansion by the then current tenants.the onset of the second world war saw the japanese-american community of auburn become seen with largely unwarranted distrust by many of the white residents of auburn.this, combined with a larger countrywide japanese focused xenophobia, led to the city's japanese-american population being relocated to internment camps.after the war, of about 300 japanese families living in auburn only around twenty five returned.in 2008, auburn annexed the west hill and lea hill neighborhoods of unincorporated king county, adding 15,000 residents and expanding its land area by 26 percent.historically, the stuck river ran through the settlement of stuck, which is now a small pocket of unincorporated king county within southern auburn.in 1906, the flow of the white river was diverted into the stuck's channel near today's game farm park.references to the stuck river still appear in some property legal descriptions and place names, e.g.stuck river drive, within auburn, but today it is essentially indistinguishable from the southern white river. | auburn washington | country | united states | auburn is a city in king county, washington, united states (with a small portion crossing into neighboring pierce county). |
the mid-atlantic regional spaceport (mars) is a commercial space launch facility located at the southern tip of nasa's wallops flight facility on wallops island in virginia, just east of the delmarva peninsula and south of chincoteague, virginia, united states.it is owned and operated by the virginia spaceport authority.this initiative was done from the recommendations of the batten college at old dominion university, with dr. billie reed, a longtime professor at the university, installed as its executive director.in 1997, virginia space entered into a reimbursable space act agreement with nasa, which provided for permitted use of land on nasa wallops island for the mars launch pads.virginia space also applied for and was granted an faa license to launch to orbit.this led to the establishment of the virginia space flight center, located on the southern portion of nasa wallops island.at the time, the center served as a collective partnership that included the national aeronautic and space administration (nasa), old dominion university, and virginia space.in july 2003, governors robert ehrlich of maryland and mark warner of virginia signed an agreement that directed the secretary of commerce and trade of virginia and the secretary of business and economic development of maryland to form a working group to develop a concept and implementation plan for joint governance, operation, and administration of the commercial spaceport at wallops island.as such, the virginia space flight center was renamed as the mid-atlantic regional spaceport (mars), reflecting the location of the facilities as opposed to the singular state.mars is approved for launch azimuths from 38° to 60°, making it an ideal location from which to launch to the international space station (iss).in 2007, nasa selected virginia-based orbital sciences corporation (northrop grumman) to participate in the commercial orbital transportation services (cots) program and then selected orbital for a follow-on commercial resupply service (crs) contract to build and demonstrate a new rocket, antares, to resupply the international space station (iss).the crs contract authorized eight missions from 2012 to 2015 carrying approximately 20,000 kg of cargo to iss as well as disposal of waste.these launches were to take place from the new state-of-the-art mars pad 0a.on mars pad 0b, vcsfa made modifications and upgrades to launch the nasa lunar atmosphere and dust environment explorer (ladee) mission to the moon in mid-2013 on a new orbital sciences minotaur v launch vehicle.also in mid-2013, the usaf launched ors-3 from mars pad 0b.mars is one of only several sites licensed by the faa office of commercial space transportation to launch to orbit.additionally, virginia is home to the nasa langley research center (larc) and national reconnaissance office (nro), and as such is a recipient of a large portion of the federal budget for space.finally, according to the information technology and innovation foundation, virginia ranks first in the number of scientists and engineers as a percentage of the workforce, third in the concentration of high-tech jobs as a percentage of the workforce, and sixth in non-industry investment in research and development.the launch pad 0a (lp-0a) (located at 37.833959°n 75.4878331°w / 37.833959; -75.4878331 (wallops island launch pad 0-a)) was built for the conestoga rocket, which made its only flight in 1995.the launch tower was subsequently demolished in september 2008, and has now been rebuilt for use by the northrop grumman innovation systems antares.the pad modifications for antares included the construction of a horizontal integration facility for launcher/payload mating and a wheeled transporter/erector that will 'roll out and erect the rocket on its launch pad about 24 hours prior to launch'.launch pad 0b (lp-0b) (located at 37.8311576°n 75.4913829°w / 37.8311576; -75.4913829 (wallops island launch pad 0-b)) became operational in 1999, and was subsequently upgraded with the construction of a mobile service tower, which was completed in 2004. | brinsell | griping | alloerotism | 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. | prospeculation | pipits | obtests <tsp> prospeculation | ureterocystostomy | certainest | no related information |

auburn is a city in king county, washington, united states (with a small portion crossing into neighboring pierce county).the population was 87,256 at the 2020 census.auburn is a suburb in the seattle metropolitan area, and is currently ranked as the 14th largest city in the state of washington.auburn is bordered by the cities of federal way, pacific, and algona to the west, sumner to the south, kent to the north, and unincorporated king county to the east.the muckleshoot indian reservation lies to the south and southeast.several settler families arrived in the 1860s, including levi ballard, who set up a homestead between the green and white rivers.ballard filed for a plat to establish a town in february 1886, naming it slaughter for an officer slain during the indian wars in 1855.slaughter was incorporated on june 13, 1891, but its name was changed two years later to auburn on february 21, 1893, by an action of the state legislature.newer residents had disliked the name and its connection to the word 'slaughter', especially after the town's hotel was named the slaughter house.the name auburn was chosen in honor of auburn, new york, for the area's shared reliance on hops farming.the white and green rivers have been a major part of the history and culture of auburn since the area was settled with multiple locations in the city being named after either of the two rivers.frequent flooding from the rivers caused numerous problems for the people living in the community with one outcome being the creation of mountain view cemetery over on one of the hills overlooking the valley.it was not until the completion of the mud mountain dam and the howard a. hanson dam, along the white river and green river respectively, that the flooding would cease and allow the city to grow without the aforementioned hurdle impeding the growth.in 1917 the city, in response to the growing of the japanese community, donated some of the land in pioneer cemetery to the white river buddhist church.a little over ten years later, rev.giryo takemura, minister of the church at the time, and his future son-in-law, chiyokichi natsuhara, raised money to replace the old wooden sticks and columns that had been in use as gravestones at the cemetery with more durable concrete markers.the interwar period saw several japanese-american baseball teams from the area compete in the courier league with the white river all-stars enjoying particularly large success winning four of the july 4th tournaments.in 1930 a japanese bath house was constructed outside of neely mansion by the then current tenants.the onset of the second world war saw the japanese-american community of auburn become seen with largely unwarranted distrust by many of the white residents of auburn.this, combined with a larger countrywide japanese focused xenophobia, led to the city's japanese-american population being relocated to internment camps.after the war, of about 300 japanese families living in auburn only around twenty five returned.in 2008, auburn annexed the west hill and lea hill neighborhoods of unincorporated king county, adding 15,000 residents and expanding its land area by 26 percent.historically, the stuck river ran through the settlement of stuck, which is now a small pocket of unincorporated king county within southern auburn.in 1906, the flow of the white river was diverted into the stuck's channel near today's game farm park.references to the stuck river still appear in some property legal descriptions and place names, e.g.stuck river drive, within auburn, but today it is essentially indistinguishable from the southern white river. | road | lankily | hydrocephalic | 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 | isbn number | 0-7156-3648-0 | no related information |

the mid-atlantic regional spaceport (mars) is a commercial space launch facility located at the southern tip of nasa's wallops flight facility on wallops island in virginia, just east of the delmarva peninsula and south of chincoteague, virginia, united states.it is owned and operated by the virginia spaceport authority.this initiative was done from the recommendations of the batten college at old dominion university, with dr. billie reed, a longtime professor at the university, installed as its executive director.in 1997, virginia space entered into a reimbursable space act agreement with nasa, which provided for permitted use of land on nasa wallops island for the mars launch pads.virginia space also applied for and was granted an faa license to launch to orbit.this led to the establishment of the virginia space flight center, located on the southern portion of nasa wallops island.at the time, the center served as a collective partnership that included the national aeronautic and space administration (nasa), old dominion university, and virginia space.in july 2003, governors robert ehrlich of maryland and mark warner of virginia signed an agreement that directed the secretary of commerce and trade of virginia and the secretary of business and economic development of maryland to form a working group to develop a concept and implementation plan for joint governance, operation, and administration of the commercial spaceport at wallops island.as such, the virginia space flight center was renamed as the mid-atlantic regional spaceport (mars), reflecting the location of the facilities as opposed to the singular state.mars is approved for launch azimuths from 38° to 60°, making it an ideal location from which to launch to the international space station (iss).in 2007, nasa selected virginia-based orbital sciences corporation (northrop grumman) to participate in the commercial orbital transportation services (cots) program and then selected orbital for a follow-on commercial resupply service (crs) contract to build and demonstrate a new rocket, antares, to resupply the international space station (iss).the crs contract authorized eight missions from 2012 to 2015 carrying approximately 20,000 kg of cargo to iss as well as disposal of waste.these launches were to take place from the new state-of-the-art mars pad 0a.on mars pad 0b, vcsfa made modifications and upgrades to launch the nasa lunar atmosphere and dust environment explorer (ladee) mission to the moon in mid-2013 on a new orbital sciences minotaur v launch vehicle.also in mid-2013, the usaf launched ors-3 from mars pad 0b.mars is one of only several sites licensed by the faa office of commercial space transportation to launch to orbit.additionally, virginia is home to the nasa langley research center (larc) and national reconnaissance office (nro), and as such is a recipient of a large portion of the federal budget for space.finally, according to the information technology and innovation foundation, virginia ranks first in the number of scientists and engineers as a percentage of the workforce, third in the concentration of high-tech jobs as a percentage of the workforce, and sixth in non-industry investment in research and development.the launch pad 0a (lp-0a) (located at 37.833959°n 75.4878331°w / 37.833959; -75.4878331 (wallops island launch pad 0-a)) was built for the conestoga rocket, which made its only flight in 1995.the launch tower was subsequently demolished in september 2008, and has now been rebuilt for use by the northrop grumman innovation systems antares.the pad modifications for antares included the construction of a horizontal integration facility for launcher/payload mating and a wheeled transporter/erector that will 'roll out and erect the rocket on its launch pad about 24 hours prior to launch'.launch pad 0b (lp-0b) (located at 37.8311576°n 75.4913829°w / 37.8311576; -75.4913829 (wallops island launch pad 0-b)) became operational in 1999, and was subsequently upgraded with the construction of a mobile service tower, which was completed in 2004. | perfectedly | longsleever | inferring | no related information |

auburn is a city in king county, washington, united states (with a small portion crossing into neighboring pierce county).the population was 87,256 at the 2020 census.auburn is a suburb in the seattle metropolitan area, and is currently ranked as the 14th largest city in the state of washington.auburn is bordered by the cities of federal way, pacific, and algona to the west, sumner to the south, kent to the north, and unincorporated king county to the east.the muckleshoot indian reservation lies to the south and southeast.several settler families arrived in the 1860s, including levi ballard, who set up a homestead between the green and white rivers.ballard filed for a plat to establish a town in february 1886, naming it slaughter for an officer slain during the indian wars in 1855.slaughter was incorporated on june 13, 1891, but its name was changed two years later to auburn on february 21, 1893, by an action of the state legislature.newer residents had disliked the name and its connection to the word 'slaughter', especially after the town's hotel was named the slaughter house.the name auburn was chosen in honor of auburn, new york, for the area's shared reliance on hops farming.the white and green rivers have been a major part of the history and culture of auburn since the area was settled with multiple locations in the city being named after either of the two rivers.frequent flooding from the rivers caused numerous problems for the people living in the community with one outcome being the creation of mountain view cemetery over on one of the hills overlooking the valley.it was not until the completion of the mud mountain dam and the howard a. hanson dam, along the white river and green river respectively, that the flooding would cease and allow the city to grow without the aforementioned hurdle impeding the growth.in 1917 the city, in response to the growing of the japanese community, donated some of the land in pioneer cemetery to the white river buddhist church.a little over ten years later, rev.giryo takemura, minister of the church at the time, and his future son-in-law, chiyokichi natsuhara, raised money to replace the old wooden sticks and columns that had been in use as gravestones at the cemetery with more durable concrete markers.the interwar period saw several japanese-american baseball teams from the area compete in the courier league with the white river all-stars enjoying particularly large success winning four of the july 4th tournaments.in 1930 a japanese bath house was constructed outside of neely mansion by the then current tenants.the onset of the second world war saw the japanese-american community of auburn become seen with largely unwarranted distrust by many of the white residents of auburn.this, combined with a larger countrywide japanese focused xenophobia, led to the city's japanese-american population being relocated to internment camps.after the war, of about 300 japanese families living in auburn only around twenty five returned.in 2008, auburn annexed the west hill and lea hill neighborhoods of unincorporated king county, adding 15,000 residents and expanding its land area by 26 percent.historically, the stuck river ran through the settlement of stuck, which is now a small pocket of unincorporated king county within southern auburn.in 1906, the flow of the white river was diverted into the stuck's channel near today's game farm park.references to the stuck river still appear in some property legal descriptions and place names, e.g.stuck river drive, within auburn, but today it is essentially indistinguishable from the southern white river. | extroverted | androphorous | saber | 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. | twopence | fratch | turtleize <tsp> twopence | bisbeeite | thereon | no related information |

milan ( mil-an, us also mil-ahn, lombard: [miˈlɑ̃ː] (listen); italian: milano [miˈlaːno] (listen)) is a city in northern italy, capital of lombardy, and the second-most populous city proper in italy after rome.the city proper has a population of about 1.4 million, while its metropolitan city has 3.26 million inhabitants.its continuously built-up urban area (whose outer suburbs extend well beyond the boundaries of the administrative metropolitan city and even stretch into the nearby country of switzerland) is the fourth largest in the eu with 5.27 million inhabitants.according to national sources, the population within the wider milan metropolitan area (also known as greater milan), is estimated between 8.2 million and 12.5 million making it by far the largest metropolitan area in italy and one of the largest in the eu.milan is considered a leading alpha global city, with strengths in the fields of art, chemicals, commerce, design, education, entertainment, fashion, finance, healthcare, media (communication), services, research and tourism.its business district hosts italy's stock exchange (italian: borsa italiana), and the headquarters of national and international banks and companies.in terms of gdp, milan is the wealthiest city in italy, has the third-largest economy among eu cities after paris and madrid, and is the wealthiest among eu non-capital cities.milan is viewed along with turin as the southernmost part of the blue banana urban development corridor (also known as the 'european megalopolis'), and one of the four motors for europe.the city's role as a major political centre dates back to the late antiquity, when it served as the capital of the western roman empire.from the 12th century until the 16th century, milan was one of the largest european cities and a major trade and commercial centre; consequently, it became the capital of the duchy of milan, one of the greatest political, artistic and fashion forces in the renaissance.despite losing much of its political and cultural importance in the early modern period, the city regained its status as a major economic and political centre, being considered today as the industrial and financial capital of italy.milan has been recognized as one of the world's four fashion capitals; many of the most famous luxury fashion brands in the world have their headquarters in the city, including: armani, prada, versace, moschino, valentino and zegna.it also hosts several international events and fairs, including milan fashion week and the milan furniture fair, which are among the world's biggest in terms of revenue, visitors and growth.milan is a global centre of tourism, receiving millions of visitors every year, and a major cultural centre, with museums and art galleries that include some of the most important collections in the world, such as major works by leonardo da vinci.the city is served by many luxury hotels and is the fifth-most starred in the world by michelin guide.it hosted the universal exposition in 1906 and 2015.it also hosts numerous educational institutions, academies and universities, with 11% of the national total of enrolled students.in the field of sports, milan is home to two of europe's most successful football teams, a.c. milan and inter milan, and one of europe's main basketball teams, olimpia milano.milan will host the winter olympic and paralympic games for the first time in 2026, together with cortina d'ampezzo.one theory holds that the latin name mediolanum comes from the latin words medio (in the middle) and planus (plain).however, some scholars believe that lanum comes from the celtic root lan, meaning an enclosure or demarcated territory (source of the welsh word llan, meaning 'a sanctuary or church', ultimately cognate to english/german land) in which celtic communities used to build shrines. | milan | saint | ambrose | no related information |

auburn is a city in king county, washington, united states (with a small portion crossing into neighboring pierce county).the population was 87,256 at the 2020 census.auburn is a suburb in the seattle metropolitan area, and is currently ranked as the 14th largest city in the state of washington.auburn is bordered by the cities of federal way, pacific, and algona to the west, sumner to the south, kent to the north, and unincorporated king county to the east.the muckleshoot indian reservation lies to the south and southeast.several settler families arrived in the 1860s, including levi ballard, who set up a homestead between the green and white rivers.ballard filed for a plat to establish a town in february 1886, naming it slaughter for an officer slain during the indian wars in 1855.slaughter was incorporated on june 13, 1891, but its name was changed two years later to auburn on february 21, 1893, by an action of the state legislature.newer residents had disliked the name and its connection to the word 'slaughter', especially after the town's hotel was named the slaughter house.the name auburn was chosen in honor of auburn, new york, for the area's shared reliance on hops farming.the white and green rivers have been a major part of the history and culture of auburn since the area was settled with multiple locations in the city being named after either of the two rivers.frequent flooding from the rivers caused numerous problems for the people living in the community with one outcome being the creation of mountain view cemetery over on one of the hills overlooking the valley.it was not until the completion of the mud mountain dam and the howard a. hanson dam, along the white river and green river respectively, that the flooding would cease and allow the city to grow without the aforementioned hurdle impeding the growth.in 1917 the city, in response to the growing of the japanese community, donated some of the land in pioneer cemetery to the white river buddhist church.a little over ten years later, rev.giryo takemura, minister of the church at the time, and his future son-in-law, chiyokichi natsuhara, raised money to replace the old wooden sticks and columns that had been in use as gravestones at the cemetery with more durable concrete markers.the interwar period saw several japanese-american baseball teams from the area compete in the courier league with the white river all-stars enjoying particularly large success winning four of the july 4th tournaments.in 1930 a japanese bath house was constructed outside of neely mansion by the then current tenants.the onset of the second world war saw the japanese-american community of auburn become seen with largely unwarranted distrust by many of the white residents of auburn.this, combined with a larger countrywide japanese focused xenophobia, led to the city's japanese-american population being relocated to internment camps.after the war, of about 300 japanese families living in auburn only around twenty five returned.in 2008, auburn annexed the west hill and lea hill neighborhoods of unincorporated king county, adding 15,000 residents and expanding its land area by 26 percent.historically, the stuck river ran through the settlement of stuck, which is now a small pocket of unincorporated king county within southern auburn.in 1906, the flow of the white river was diverted into the stuck's channel near today's game farm park.references to the stuck river still appear in some property legal descriptions and place names, e.g.stuck river drive, within auburn, but today it is essentially indistinguishable from the southern white river. | supertragically | outray | inorganically <tsp> supertragically | manifesto | chloric | no related information |

neptun werft is a german shipbuilding company, headquartered in rostock.since 1997 it has been part of the meyer neptun group together with meyer werft in papenburg.the shipyard developed quickly, and as early as in 1857 it had some 400 employees.in 1890, after several mergers and buyouts, it became the 'actien-gesellschaft neptun'.after 1945 and the division of germany, the shipyard focused on markets in eastern europe.at that time the 'schiffswerft neptun rostock' counted among the most renowned state-owned shipyards of the german democratic republic.the changing conditions of international competition following the german reunification brought about a time of change for the company.productivity was not up to international standards, and due to eu restrictions it was no longer allowed to build new sea-going vessels.the yard became 'neptun industrie rostock' (nir), and the following years were heavily influenced by staff cuts, re-organisation and diversification.focus was put on the repair and upgrading of ships, construction and delivery of ship components, steel constructions for hydraulic engineering and complex ro-ro facilities.in 1997 neptun werft became part of the meyer neptun group, which includes meyer werft in papenburg.neptun werft has geared its activities to its core maritime sector, while many companies formerly belonging to nir and dealing in different sectors were sold, or set up independent operations.since the year 2000 the shipyard's activities have been centred on the premises in warnemünde (a district of rostock), and the construction of river cruise vessels has been included in the product range.new production halls were erected in 2003 which allow ship construction independent of weather conditions. | luscious | cohabitate | pittances | no related information |

auburn is a city in king county, washington, united states (with a small portion crossing into neighboring pierce county).the population was 87,256 at the 2020 census.auburn is a suburb in the seattle metropolitan area, and is currently ranked as the 14th largest city in the state of washington.auburn is bordered by the cities of federal way, pacific, and algona to the west, sumner to the south, kent to the north, and unincorporated king county to the east.the muckleshoot indian reservation lies to the south and southeast.several settler families arrived in the 1860s, including levi ballard, who set up a homestead between the green and white rivers.ballard filed for a plat to establish a town in february 1886, naming it slaughter for an officer slain during the indian wars in 1855.slaughter was incorporated on june 13, 1891, but its name was changed two years later to auburn on february 21, 1893, by an action of the state legislature.newer residents had disliked the name and its connection to the word 'slaughter', especially after the town's hotel was named the slaughter house.the name auburn was chosen in honor of auburn, new york, for the area's shared reliance on hops farming.the white and green rivers have been a major part of the history and culture of auburn since the area was settled with multiple locations in the city being named after either of the two rivers.frequent flooding from the rivers caused numerous problems for the people living in the community with one outcome being the creation of mountain view cemetery over on one of the hills overlooking the valley.it was not until the completion of the mud mountain dam and the howard a. hanson dam, along the white river and green river respectively, that the flooding would cease and allow the city to grow without the aforementioned hurdle impeding the growth.in 1917 the city, in response to the growing of the japanese community, donated some of the land in pioneer cemetery to the white river buddhist church.a little over ten years later, rev.giryo takemura, minister of the church at the time, and his future son-in-law, chiyokichi natsuhara, raised money to replace the old wooden sticks and columns that had been in use as gravestones at the cemetery with more durable concrete markers.the interwar period saw several japanese-american baseball teams from the area compete in the courier league with the white river all-stars enjoying particularly large success winning four of the july 4th tournaments.in 1930 a japanese bath house was constructed outside of neely mansion by the then current tenants.the onset of the second world war saw the japanese-american community of auburn become seen with largely unwarranted distrust by many of the white residents of auburn.this, combined with a larger countrywide japanese focused xenophobia, led to the city's japanese-american population being relocated to internment camps.after the war, of about 300 japanese families living in auburn only around twenty five returned.in 2008, auburn annexed the west hill and lea hill neighborhoods of unincorporated king county, adding 15,000 residents and expanding its land area by 26 percent.historically, the stuck river ran through the settlement of stuck, which is now a small pocket of unincorporated king county within southern auburn.in 1906, the flow of the white river was diverted into the stuck's channel near today's game farm park.references to the stuck river still appear in some property legal descriptions and place names, e.g.stuck river drive, within auburn, but today it is essentially indistinguishable from the southern white river. | unentomological | grissons | keloids <tsp> unentomological | underpacking | gynocracy | no related information |

alan andrew martin (born 1 january 1989) is a scottish footballer who currently plays as a goalkeeper for gibraltar football league club manchester 62.martin has previously played for motherwell, leeds united, barrow, accrington stanley, ayr united, crewe alexandra, aldershot town, clyde, hamilton academical, dumbarton, queen of the south, east kilbride and edinburgh city.martin was an often used as a substitute for motherwell and failed to make a league appearance for them before moving on.rangers made enquiries about signing martin in 2007, before he joined league one club leeds united on an initial two-year contract on 31 august 2007, taking the opportunity to be more involved in a first team squad.despite not appearing for leeds he was offered a new contract in september 2008, and moved to barrow of the conference national on loan to get more first team experience.martin's time at barrow was extended to a season-long loan and he became a fans' favourite.martin was declared man-of-the-match in barrow's fa cup third-round game versus premier league club middlesbrough, receiving praise from the club's co-manager dave bayliss.injuries reduced martin's appearances for barrow towards the end of that season.despite suggestions that martin could be involved in the leeds first team for the 2009–10 season, he was loaned out again and joined accrington stanley of league two until january 2010.martin had his football league debut with stanley in the opening game of the season in a 1–0 defeat to rotherham united and fought for the number one jersey with fellow goalkeeper ian dunbavin.in total, martin played ten matches for accrington stanley.on 27 october 2009, leeds recalled him, with current number one goalkeeper shane higgs out with a thigh injury and loanee goalkeeper frank fielding having returned to his parent club.martin expected to be the back-up keeper for casper ankergren.martin was regularly on the bench whilst higgs was out injured, but he was displaced versus oldham athletic with david martin having arrived on loan from liverpool.however, martin returned as a leeds substitute versus huddersfield town, as leeds already had five loan players in the squad and david martin was therefore unable to be included.martin was part of the leeds squad that gained promotion to the championship, although he was confined to being third choice keeper behind shane higgs and casper ankergren.during the summer of 2010 ankergren left the club and was replaced by kasper schmeichel, which meant that martin continued to be only the third choice goalkeeper.on 4 august 2010, martin re-joined barrow on loan until january 2011.on 14 august 2010, martin made his second debut for barrow versus histon and conceded three goals in a 3–1 defeat.in october, after injuries to kasper schmeichel and shane higgs, leeds contemplated recalling martin to act as cover but decided to let him stay at barrow to help his development.on 4 january 2011, martin returned to leeds after barrow decided they couldn't afford to keep him.on 31 january 2011, martin's contract was cancelled by mutual consent, allowing him to find a new club, after the loan signing of manchester city goalkeeper david gonzález giraldo.after his release from leeds, martin moved back to scotland to sign for part-time club ayr united in south ayrshire.martin was the regular first choice keeper after signing and helped the somerset park club to win promotion to the scottish football league first division via the play-offs in may 2011.although being offered a contract at the honest men for the 2011–12, martin declined the offer when he stated he wanted to go back to full-time football. | alan martin footballer born 1989 | club | scotland national under-21 football team | alan andrew martin (born 1 january 1989) is a scottish footballer who currently plays as a goalkeeper for gibraltar football league club manchester 62.rangers made enquiries about signing martin in 2007, before he joined league one club leeds united on an initial two-year contract on 31 august 2007, taking the opportunity to be more involved in a first team squad.despite suggestions that martin could be involved in the leeds first team for the 2009–10 season, he was loaned out again and joined accrington stanley of league two until january 2010.martin had his football league debut with stanley in the opening game of the season in a 1–0 defeat to rotherham united and fought for the number one jersey with fellow goalkeeper ian dunbavin.after his release from leeds, martin moved back to scotland to sign for part-time club ayr united in south ayrshire.martin was the regular first choice keeper after signing and helped the somerset park club to win promotion to the scottish football league first division via the play-offs in may 2011.although being offered a contract at the honest men for the 2011–12, martin declined the offer when he stated he wanted to go back to full-time football. |

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. | felly | bechance | viscosimetric | 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 | followedby | weymouth sands | no related information |
auburn is a city in king county, washington, united states (with a small portion crossing into neighboring pierce county).the population was 87,256 at the 2020 census.auburn is a suburb in the seattle metropolitan area, and is currently ranked as the 14th largest city in the state of washington.auburn is bordered by the cities of federal way, pacific, and algona to the west, sumner to the south, kent to the north, and unincorporated king county to the east.the muckleshoot indian reservation lies to the south and southeast.several settler families arrived in the 1860s, including levi ballard, who set up a homestead between the green and white rivers.ballard filed for a plat to establish a town in february 1886, naming it slaughter for an officer slain during the indian wars in 1855.slaughter was incorporated on june 13, 1891, but its name was changed two years later to auburn on february 21, 1893, by an action of the state legislature.newer residents had disliked the name and its connection to the word 'slaughter', especially after the town's hotel was named the slaughter house.the name auburn was chosen in honor of auburn, new york, for the area's shared reliance on hops farming.the white and green rivers have been a major part of the history and culture of auburn since the area was settled with multiple locations in the city being named after either of the two rivers.frequent flooding from the rivers caused numerous problems for the people living in the community with one outcome being the creation of mountain view cemetery over on one of the hills overlooking the valley.it was not until the completion of the mud mountain dam and the howard a. hanson dam, along the white river and green river respectively, that the flooding would cease and allow the city to grow without the aforementioned hurdle impeding the growth.in 1917 the city, in response to the growing of the japanese community, donated some of the land in pioneer cemetery to the white river buddhist church.a little over ten years later, rev.giryo takemura, minister of the church at the time, and his future son-in-law, chiyokichi natsuhara, raised money to replace the old wooden sticks and columns that had been in use as gravestones at the cemetery with more durable concrete markers.the interwar period saw several japanese-american baseball teams from the area compete in the courier league with the white river all-stars enjoying particularly large success winning four of the july 4th tournaments.in 1930 a japanese bath house was constructed outside of neely mansion by the then current tenants.the onset of the second world war saw the japanese-american community of auburn become seen with largely unwarranted distrust by many of the white residents of auburn.this, combined with a larger countrywide japanese focused xenophobia, led to the city's japanese-american population being relocated to internment camps.after the war, of about 300 japanese families living in auburn only around twenty five returned.in 2008, auburn annexed the west hill and lea hill neighborhoods of unincorporated king county, adding 15,000 residents and expanding its land area by 26 percent.historically, the stuck river ran through the settlement of stuck, which is now a small pocket of unincorporated king county within southern auburn.in 1906, the flow of the white river was diverted into the stuck's channel near today's game farm park.references to the stuck river still appear in some property legal descriptions and place names, e.g.stuck river drive, within auburn, but today it is essentially indistinguishable from the southern white river. | cohomology | grudger | polyprotodont <tsp> cohomology | fimbrillate | carabideous | no related information |
