was the 6th daimyō of Hirosaki Domain in northern Mutsu Province, Honshū, Japan (modern-day Aomori Prefecture). His courtesy title was Dewa-no-kami, and his Court rank was Junior Fifth Rank, Lower Grade.

Biography
Tsugaru Nobuaki was born as the eldest son of Tsugaru Nobuoki, the eldest son and heir of Tsugaru Nobuhisa, 5th daimyō of Hirosaki Domain. His father died in 1730, and when Nobuhisa retired in 1731, he appointed his grandson Nobuaki as his successor. He was presented in formal audience to shōgun Tokugawa Yoshimune the same year. Nobuaki was still in his minority, so all power remained in the hands of Nobuhisa.

During the early part of his tenure, Tsugaru Domain was initially prosperous; however, the profligate spending of Nobuhisa combined with one natural disaster after another soon brought the domain into financial crisis. The domain suffered from flooding followed by drought, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions (by Mount Iwaki and other volcanoes in Hokkaidō), tsunami, inclement weather, and repeated crop failures, which led to widespread famine and disease. The Tokugawa shogunate itself was in financial crisis, resulting in the implementation of the Kyōhō Reforms by shōgun Tokugawa Yoshimune, and not in a position to extend aid. Nobuaki continuing developing new paddy fields and irrigation works, and encouraged research of rangaku to help resolve the domain's problems and ever-increasing debt. However, almost as a final straw, the castle town of Hirosaki burned down in a great fire on May 11, 1746, and Nobuaki died two weeks later of sickness, at age 26.

Nobuhisa continued to exert influence behind-the-scenes all through Nobuaki's tenure from the clan's residence in Edo, and when Nobuaki died in 1744, Nobuhisa arranged to have Nobuaki's elder son, Nobuyasu (age 6), appointed daimyō. Nobuhisa continued as regent over Nabuyasu until his death on March 10, 1746.

Nobuaki's grave is at the temple of Shinryō-in (a subsidiary of Kan'ei-ji) in Taitō-ku, Tokyo, as well as the Tsugaru clan temple of Chōshō-ji in Hirosaki.

It is best known for the short film GIRL TALK which was accepted to festivals such as the Newfest LGBT Film Festival and the Iris Prize LGBT Film Festival.

History 
Chelsea Moore and Erica Rose met in 2015 while working on the set of a CBS pilot For Justice, directed by Ava Duvernay, which was not picked up. They created Sour Peach Films in 2017 to develop films that focused on queer femme women's experiences and sexuality to address a lack of such stories. The company also uses diverse casting and crew members.

Productions 
Sour Peach Films debuted a narrative short film called GIRL TALK in fall 2018, which follows a Black queer woman named Mia (Hannah Hodson) who is navigating her personal life in New York's LGBTQ spaces. The film, written and directed by Rose, is semi-autobiographical. Moore and Rose used the crowdfunding platform Seed&Spark to raise two-thirds of the budget. The majority of the cast and crew were women or gender non-conforming people.

In December 2018, they produced Please, a documentary short that highlights Sid Azmi, the owner of a Brooklyn sex shop called Please.

In February 2019, the company announced a forthcoming film about the Brooklyn drag and burlesque collective, Switch n' Play. The film, A Night at Switch n' Play, directed by Cody Stickels, premiered at Inside Out film festival on June 1, 2019.

The West Toodyay Bridge crosses the Avon River in West Toodyay, Western Australia.

It was constructed in 1902 at a cost of . Built of timber, it was  wide and  in length. The bridge could only be crossed by one vehicle at a time.

Prior to the bridge's construction, a nearby natural ford was used to cross the river.

To this day, the bridge stands in its original position. However, a number of modifications have been carried out since its original construction.

In 1958, the timber deck was replaced. In 1985, structural damage was caused by an overloaded truck and inspection revealed that several piles were rotten. For safety reasons, a load limit was put in place until repairs could be carried out. Three years later, in 1988, the bridge underwent a considerable upgrade. The bridge was widened to carry two lanes and the wooden piles were replaced with steel. A few old stringers were replaced with new timber. However, the remaining stringers and deck structure were deemed to be in satisfactory condition. The timber decking was overlaid with a concrete surface.

On 30 November 1988, the West Toodyay Bridge reopened.
