53rd Street is a local station on the BMT Fourth Avenue Line of the New York City Subway.
 Located at 53rd Street and Fourth Avenue in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, it is served by the R train at all times, several W trains during rush hours, and the N train during late nights only.
The Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH) comprise a thesaurus (in the information science sense, a controlled vocabulary) of subject headings, maintained by the United States Library of Congress, for use in bibliographic records.
 LC Subject Headings are an integral part of bibliographic control, which is the function by which libraries collect, organize and disseminate documents.
 LCSHs are applied to every item within a library’s collection, and facilitate a user’s access to items in the catalogue that pertain to similar subject matter.
 If users could only locate items by ‘title’ or other descriptive fields, such as ‘author’ or ‘publisher’, they would have to expend an enormous amount of time searching for items of related subject matter, and undoubtedly miss locating many items because of the ineffective and inefficient search capability.

The 55th Battalion was an infantry battalion of the Australian Army.
 Raised in 1916 for service during World War I the battalion served on the Western Front until the end of the war, before being briefly amalgamated with the 53rd Battalion and then being disbanded in 1919.
 In 1921, the 55th Battalion was re-raised and in 1927 adopted the title of the "New South Wales Irish Rifles".
 This designation was later changed to the "New South Wales Rifle Regiment" in 1930, before they were once again amalgamated with the 53rd, forming the 55th/53rd Battalion (New South Wales Rifle/West Sydney Regiment) in 1937.
 In October 1941, during World War II, the two battalions were delinked and the 55th was later deployed to New Guinea, where they took part in the Kokoda Track campaign, fighting against the Japanese.
 Poorly prepared and trained, and lacking up to date equipment, they performed above expectations; however, they were amalgamated with the 53rd, which had not fared so well, once more in October 1942.
 The 55th/53rd subsequently took part in further campaigns in New Guinea and Bougainville before being disbanded in May 1946.
A river crossing puzzle is a type of transport puzzle in which the object is to carry items from one river bank to another, usually in the fewest number of trips.
 The difficulty of the puzzle may arise from restrictions on which or how many items can be transported at the same time, or which or how many items may be safely left together.
 The setting may vary cosmetically, for example, by replacing the river by a bridge.
 The earliest known river-crossing problems occur in the manuscript "Propositiones ad Acuendos Juvenes" (English: Problems to sharpen the young ), traditionally said to be written by Alcuin.
 The earliest copies of this manuscript date from the 9th century; it contains three river-crossing problems, including the fox, goose and bag of beans puzzle and the jealous husbands problem.
