# Skeffling

Skeffling is a village and civil parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England, in an area known as Holderness. It is situated approximately 5 miles (8 km) south of the town of Withernsea and 4 miles (6.4 km) south-east of the village of Patrington on the B1445 road from Patrington to Easington.
According to the 2011 UK census, Skeffling parish had a population of 149, a decrease on the 2001 UK census figure of 153.
The parish church of St Helen is a Grade I listed building that is situated to the south of the village. It is constructed of cobble with stone dressings and was built in the 1460s.

## History

Skeffling is recorded in the Domesday Book (1086) as Skeflingun.

## Skeffling projects

Among developments in Skeffling has been the installation, by Eagle Power, of a 6 kW wind turbine on a free standing 15-metre (49 ft) mast. This was made possible with help from the BERR's Low Carbon Buildings Program, Langeled's Rural Communities Development Fund, DEFRA, Yorkshire Forward, Humber & Wolds Rural Community Council and with vital help and guidance from Karen Wood, the rural communities' officer from East Riding of Yorkshire Council.
The turbine was installed on 20 February 2007 and powers Skeffling Village Hall, with any excess is sold to the National Grid; the proceeds are used to help maintain and eventually replace the turbine. The decision to use renewable energy was made with long term sustainability in mind.
# Montmédy

Montmédy (French pronunciation:, German: Mittelberg) is a commune in the Meuse department in Grand Est in north-eastern France.

## Citadel of Montmédy

In 1221 the first castle of Montmédy was built on top of a hill by the Count of Chiny. Montmédy soon became the capital of his territory – later it belonged to Luxembourg, Burgundy, Austria and Spain. The original castle was replaced with a fortress by Charles V in the 16th century.
After Marville and Stenay had been occupied by the French, 30,000 soldiers, including King Louis XIV, attacked Montmédy, whilst 756 were defending it in 1657. They held it for 57 days and surrendered only after the death of the governor Jean V of Allamont. The military engineer Vauban advanced the outer fortifications, the moats and the walls after the siege of 1657.
During the French Revolution in 1791, the fortress was the anticipated destination of King Louis XVI and his family in their unsuccessful attempt to escape from the growing radical republicanism of Paris. The area at that time was overwhelmingly pro-monarchy. The royal party never arrived, however, because they were discovered en route at Varennes and escorted back to the capital city. The King had hoped to establish a counter-revolutionary military base of operations in the citadel from which he could reclaim the country. The citadel has also been used as a fortress during both World Wars.
Buildings, including a church dating back to the 17th century, can be found inside the citadel itself; it still is used as a place to live. Most of the buildings are derelict or already collapsed; some of them are still in use as tenements. An Office de Tourisme (Tourist Office) can be found in the citadel.

## Geography

The river Othain joins the Chiers in the eastern part of the commune. The village lies on the right bank of the Chiers.

## Notable people

A museum is devoted to the painter Jules Bastien-Lepage. The eccentric harpist and composer Nicolas-Charles Bochsa (1789–1856) was born in Montmédy, where his father Karl Bochsa was an oboist belonging to the Army. Future President François Mitterrand was stationed as a soldier at Montmédy in 1939.

# Sannyasir Dhap

The Sannyasir Dhap (Bengali: সন্ন্যাসীর ধাপ) is one of the notable archaeological sites and tourist attractions located in Sadar Upazila of Bogra, Bangladesh. The site consists of two mounds, which are situated approximately 3 kilometers apart from each other. One of the mounds is located in Bara Tangra village under Namuja Union, while the other is in Saralpur village under Gokul Union.

## History

It is not known in detail who built the two mounds of Sannyasir Dhap. However, archaeologists believe that the ascetic Hindu monks (Sannyasis) of the region during that time likely used these mounds as their hermitages or monasteries. Since they were constructed or utilized by these monks, the mounds came to be known as Sannyasir Dhap (the Mounds of the Sannyasis).

### Bara Tangra Sannyasir Dhap

Located in Bara Tangra village under Namuja Union, the Bara Tangra Sannyasir Dhap is currently covered with vegetation, including trees, grass, and vines. The central portion of the mound is elevated, with gentle slopes extending downwards on all sides. Its dimensions are approximately 215 meters × 148 meters × 7.5 meters. Scattered around the mound are the remains of ancient bricks, indicating the presence of an old structure.

### Saralpur Sannyasir Dhap

The Saralpur Sannyasir Dhap, located in Saralpur village under Gokul Union, is smaller in size compared to its counterpart in Bara Tangra. It measures approximately 33 meters × 27 meters × 6.5 meters. Although the main mound is still visible, the local villagers have leveled the top surface and now use it as an Eidgah (an open field for Eid prayers).

# Tredington, Gloucestershire

Tredington is a village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Stoke Orchard near Tewkesbury, in the Tewkesbury district, in the county of Gloucestershire, England. The village has a church and a school. In 1931 the parish had a population of 92.
The little church of St John the Baptist in Tredington is known for its wooden tower, a twelfth-century architectural plan, medieval stone benches, and the fossil of an ichthyosaurus displayed upon the floor of its porch. The steps, base and shaft of the churchyard cross are fourteenth century; the cross is modern.

## History

The village was a member of the Confraternity of Burton Lazars, a mediaeval order devoted to the care of lepers, near Melton Mowbray. The father of the musician Thomas Tomkins was incumbent of the church from 1594 to 1609.
On 1 April 1935 the parish of Tredington was merged with Stoke Orchard, part also went to Tewkesbury.

## Education

The village school opened in 1880, and is located halfway between Tredington and Stoke Orchard in order to serve both communities. Tredington Primary School, as it is now known, is a small community school serving the villages of Tredington, Stoke Orchard, Elmstone-Hardwicke, Walton Cardiff, Uckington and Bishop's Cleeve. In 2005 it had 61 students aged 4–11. On 1 September 2020, the school converted to academy status and became part of the Gloucestershire Learning Alliance. Since then, the school has benefited from wider funding provision from GLA and modern EYFS phonics practices supported via Mangotsfield School English Hub. The school received a strong 'Good' report from the most recent OFSTED inspection. Most children leaving this school move on to Cleeve School in Bishop's Cleeve, an establishment with a larger population (over 1000 pupils) than the villages served by Tredington School.
# Skäckerfjällen Nature Reserve

Skäckerfjällen Nature Reserve (Swedish: Skäckerfjällens naturreservat) is a nature reserve in Jämtland County in Sweden.
Skäckerfjällen literally means "The Skäcker mountains" and the large nature reserve covers this whole range, which is part of the Scandinavian Mountains. The highest peak is Sandfjället with an altitude of 1,230 m (4,040 ft). It is a mountain landscape of a kind typical for the Scandinavian mountain range. Within the area, three old-growth forests exist which are rather different from each other. In the Strådalen area close to the border with Norway, the old-growth forest is dominated by large spruce trees, while in the area around Lake Lågsjön the forest is dominated by Scots pine, often in the form of krummholz. In Rutsdalen area, old-growth forest dominated by spruce is separated from mixed coniferous old-growth forest which grow on thin moraine.
Two traditional mountain farms exist in the area. Their continuous existence has generated a cultural landscape with high biodiversity.
The area is used by the Sami population for reindeer grazing all year around.

# St. Andrew's Church (Quebec City)

St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church (French: Église presbytérienne Saint Andrew) is a Presbyterian church congregation located in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada. It belongs to the Presbyterian Church in Canada denomination.

## History

The congregation's roots began with the British conquest of Quebec at the Plains of Abraham in 1759. Under the leadership of Church of Scotland Chaplain Robert MacPherson and soldiers of the famous 78th Fraser Highlanders of James Wolfe's Army in 1759. A congregation evolved under his leadership, until his death in 1765. He was succeeded by another former Chaplain, George Henry.
With the 1763 Treaty, and the coming of merchants from Scotland and New England, the congregation soon assumed civilian status and was known as the Scotch Congregation - in connection with the Church of Scotland.
During the 1802 ministry of Alexander Spark, in response to a petition signed by 148 persons, the present Church site was granted by His Majesty George III, although it was not until 1807 that construction began.
The long-contemplated Church was dedicated on November 30, 1810, on St. Andrew's Day, and appropriately named after the apostle. The building remains virtually unchanged but for the addition of the Vestry in 1900.

# Zugspitze Glacier Cable Car

The Zugspitze Glacier Cable Car (German: Zugspitz-Gletscherbahn) is a 1,000 metre long cable car on the Zugspitze, Germany's highest mountain. It was opened in 1992 and links the plateau of the Zugspitzplatt directly with the summit, 360 metres higher. Since the mountain station of the Bavarian Zugspitze Railway was moved from the Schneefernerhaus to the Platt, the Schneefernerhaus and the old cableways, which ran down into the valley from the Platt (the Hangbahn and alte Gletscherbahn) and up to the summit (Gipfelseilbahn), have lost their importance.
The cableway, which is operated by the Zugspitzbahn AG, is a reversible system with two carrying cables and no pylons. Its carrying cables have a diameter of 50 mm; its hauling cable a diameter of 34 mm. The system is powered by 2 210 kW motors in the valley station. The cabins have a capacity of 100 people and can transport 1,000 people per hour in each direction.
The cableway was built by the South Tyrolean firm of Hölzl Seilbahnbau [de].
# Mechane

A mechane (/ˈmɛkəniː/; Greek: μηχανή, mēkhanḗ) or machine was a crane used in Greek theatre, especially in the 5th and 4th centuries BC. Made of wooden beams and pulley systems, the device was used to lift an actor into the air, usually representing flight. This stage machine was particularly used to bring gods onto the stage from above, hence the Latin term deus ex machina ("god from the machine"). Euripides' use of the mechane in Medea (431 BC) is a notable use of the machine for a non-divine character. It was also often used by Aeschylus.

## Use in ancient Rome

Stage machines were also used in ancient Rome, e.g. during the sometimes highly dramatic performances at funerals. For Julius Caesar's funeral service, Appian reports a mechane that was used to present a blood-stained wax effigy of the deceased dictator to the funeral crowd. The mechane was used to turn the body in all directions. Geoffrey Sumi proposes that the use of the mechane "hinted at Caesar's divinity." This is highly unlikely because Appian doesn't describe the mechane as a genuine deus-ex-machina device. Furthermore Caesar's apotheosis wasn't legally conducted until 42 BC and Caesar had only been worshipped unofficially as divus during his lifetime. First and foremost, Marcus Antonius attempted to arouse the masses as a means to strengthen Caesar's esteem as well as his own political power.

## Religious significance

In Christian liturgy the mechane has also been identified with the cross. Ignatius calls the cross the "theatre mechane" of Jesus Christ.
# Austin 14

The Austin Fourteen is a 1.7-litre saloon that was introduced by Austin in August 1936 and available as a Goodwood saloon—with a fixed or sliding head—or as a Goodwood cabriolet. The body was of steel throughout. Nominally classed by Austin as a Fourteen the actual engine size attracted tax for a 16 horsepower car. The performance of the engine carried over from the Light Twelve-Six proved disappointing and a much smoother revised version with a near 20% improvement in power output was introduced the next year.

## Equipment

The car was supplied with an adjustable steering column and body insulation. It comfortably carried four passengers with room for a small fifth passenger in the centre of the back seat. Even the quarter-lights were supplied with blinds, there were flush fitting footrests in the back of the large, adjustable, front seats with pull straps above. The back floor was flat except for the somewhat pronounced propeller shaft tunnel. The boot was provided with a fitted suitcase, the spare wheel sitting horizontally in the space below. The door could be let down and used as a luggage platform.

## Chassis

The monopiece steel roof, doors and floors were insulated against heat and noise. The frame had cruciform centre bracing and its cross members were reversed to form box sections with the side members.
Engine clutch and gearbox were insulated as one assembly from the chassis by live rubber, there being two suspension points in front and one at the back of the gearbox. Silencer and exhaust system were insulated from the chassis by rubber mounting.

### Suspension

Half-elliptical zinc interleaved springs were fitted with self-lubricating discs and controlled by hydraulic shock absorbers. In front the springs were shackled forward and were flat, the back springs underhung.

### Brakes

Brakes by Girling were of the wedge and roller mechanically operated type and the four were worked by hand or foot.

### Steering

Steering was by hour-glass worm and sector.

## Road Test

The Times' correspondent reported that the engine felt sturdy and willing but that refinement and brilliance were "not its strong points". The extra low pressure tyres allowed lightness and sway at speed he said but the car held the road satisfactorily and 65 miles an hour proved a comfortable maximum speed.

## Revision

Eight months after the road test was published The Times felt able to report that the Austin Fourteen was now a much improved car.

### Engine

The engine had been given a new cylinder head, larger downdraught carburettor, larger inlet valves and a higher compression ratio. Power output had moved up from 38.7 bhp at 3,800 rpm to 46 bhp at 4,000 rpm, an increase of near 20%.

## 1939

Now supplied with an improved engine mounting, new pistol grip handbrake, shock absorbers, lubricated road springs and given, like the Twelve, higher and wider doors and a longer bonnet.

# Überetsch Railway

The Überetsch Railway (German: Überetscher Bahn; Italian: Transatesina) connected Bolzano with the Mendel Funicular. This line was part of a rail sightseeing tour around the Mendelpass. The tour was made up of five railway lines and was often used by tourists.

## Track

Just after the station of Bolzano the track branched off from the Brennerbahn and ran along the Eisack river. The line crossed the Talfer river and after two small stations (Ponte Roma and Ponte Resia) the line became split: one track proceeded to Meran and further to the Vinschgerbahn and one track branched away leftwards toward the low mountain range plateau of Überetsch. After a long bridge over the Adige river, the line got steeper and after two short tunnels reached the Überetsch plateau. Here the trains only stopped in Eppan, Kaltern and Sankt Anton, near the Mendel Funicular station. The strange thing was, that the track to the Sankt Anton station left the mainline before it arrived to the Kaltern station, so the trains had to run to Kaltern station, drive back to the switch, change driving direction again and then go further to the Sankt Anton station.

## History

The railroad had been built to reach the Überetsch plateau more easily. The two biggest villages on the plateau Kaltern and Eppan are to this day important tourist destinations. The railroad made it easier to get tourists to the villages and the wine from the villages to the station of Bolzano, where it was loaded onto international freight trains.

## Today

The line was finally abandoned on June 28, 1971. At the Eppan station, the tracks were replaced by a new street to guide traffic around the village. In the early 2000s, parts of the line were converted to a bicycle trail. Due to the number of bicycle riders, the roads from Bolzano towards the Überetsch plateau are jammed by traffic, and officials in Kaltern/Caldaro and Eppan/Appiano are supporting the idea to reactivate the line as a commuter.
