# SKAT (television)

Skat Television (Bulgarian: Национална телевизия Скат) is a Bulgarian national cable television company. The company was founded in 1992 in Burgas and is headquartered there. Skat is also the name for one of the channels which Skat television operates from the Bulgarian capital city Sofia.

## History

Skat as a cable TV company operates mostly in the Burgas Province and has created cable networks in many populated places near the Black Sea coast. The company, like the other cable TV operators in Burgas, provides analogue television, digital television, Internet access with modem, optics, PON, LAN and RLAN, and telephone services. Today the company owns the largest optical-coaxial cable network on the territory of the Burgas and Targovishte regions. Skat's headquarters are located in Burgas, and a regional TV channel called "Skat +" is broadcast from there to many places in the province. The main Skat channel was also broadcast from Burgas, until the early 2000s (decade), when it was relocated to Sofia.

## Controversies

In 2005 Skat television became a center of controversy caused by the company's hosting of programs and shows supporting Bulgarian nationalist political party Attack. Attack openly associates with such organizations as the National Front in France. Complaints from the Bulgarian Helsinki Committee and the political party Euroroma, stating that various Skat TV shows were focused on racial intolerance and racism, caused the Council for Electronic Media (CEM) to announce investigations into the programs broadcast on the Skat cable television channel in July – August 2005. In November 2009 Skat withdrew its support for Attack. On 17 May 2011 Skat created its own nationalist party called National Front for the Salvation of Bulgaria.
In 2012, Jehovah's Witnesses filed a complaint with the Commission for Protection against Discrimination stating that SKAT TV had systematically slandered the Witnesses and incited violence and hatred against them. The Commission unanimously decided in favour of the Witnesses in January 2016.

# Heteropsis difficilis

# A44 motorway (Netherlands)

The A44 motorway is a motorway in the Netherlands connecting the A4 with Wassenaar. The route continues as main road N44 towards The Hague, providing an alternative link with Amsterdam for the A4 motorway. The A44 also serves Leiden and the Bollenstreek. The length of the A44 is 21 kilometres (13 mi), the N44 adds another 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) making the total route 28 kilometres (17 mi) long.

## Overview

Near Leimuiden, the A44 motorway splits from the A4 at Burgerveen interchange. Until the 1960s, the A4 followed the route of the current A44 passing Leiden west. Then the new A4 was built east of the city creating a more direct route from Amsterdam to Rotterdam. The former A4 was eventually renumbered into A44. Both motorways are important arteries for The Hague, where the A44 is primarily focused on the city center. The A44 is one of the oldest motorways of the country with parts dating from the 1930s. Small dimensions of the carriageway, narrow bridges and tight junctions are signs of outdated design. It is also remarkable that the A44 is one of the very few busy Randstad-motorways not being equipped with active traffic management nor lit for the major part.
When leaving the Burgerveen interchange in the province of North Holland, the A44 runs through rural area known as the Bollenstreek. In Spring the fields fill up with coloured flowers. A few towns pass by and the motorway crosses the Ringvaart where it enters the province of South Holland. The surroundings of the A44 become more populated when approaching Leiden. The motorway ends a few kilometers south of Leiden in Wassenaar at an at-grade junction with traffic lights. The route continues as major road N44, running through the wooded estates of Wassenaar towards The Hague. The N44 ends at the city limits of The Hague. Here, the route continues as city route s101 towards the city centre. A split-level interchange connects the N44 with the N14 (Ring Den Haag) towards Leidschendam and the S200 (Ring Den Haag) towards Scheveningen.

# Assiniboine River Bridge

The Assiniboine River Bridge is a railway bridge situated 8 km east of Portage la Prairie, Manitoba, Canada. The bridge is located at Mile 50.4 in Canadian National Railway's Rivers Subdivision.

## Architecture

The original bridge was a single track, 125 m (412 ft) long and consists of two 35.6 m (177 ft) through truss spans placed between two 25.2 m (83 ft) through plate girder spans. The spans were built in 1906 and were designed to Government of Canada 1901 Specification (equivalent to E-48 Cooper loading).

## History

A slow order was required to operate heavy axle load cars over this structure. The railroad determined that to improve operations, the aging spans had to be replaced. It was found to be not much more expensive to replace the entire span than simply replacing the floor system of the bridge. The concrete piers and abutments were found to be in good condition and could be reused. The railway decided to replace all four spans of this older bridge.
To this end, a new double-track bridge was proposed. After the required engineering and environmental regulatory permits and approvals were secured, Canam Structural of Quebec City, Quebec was selected for the fabrication of the steel spans. This was carried out from the fall of 2000 to the spring of 2001.
The newly built spans were through plate girder spans of the same length as the old spans. These were designed for Cooper E90 loading with diesel impact. The floor system of the bridge consisted of rolled sections installed transverse to the main girders, with a steel deck plate installed on top of the floor beams.
The budget for the new bridge project was established at $5.6 million CAD. The new bridge was safely completed with no major problems. The work was done within the time available and within budget.
The old structure was dismantled and hauled away by truck. The disturbed ground surface was restored to its original profile and was seeded with appropriate vegetation in the spring of 2002. The bridge itself was completed in January 2002.
