The Vlaardingse Vaart Bridge (also called The Twist) is a helical truss bridge for pedestrian and bicycle traffic over the Vlaardingervaart canal in Vlaardingen, Netherlands.

Location
Vlaardingen is a city in the Netherlands in the western outskirts of Rotterdam, on the north bank of the Maas (Meuse), and the Vlaardingse Vaart Bridge is located in the outskirts of Vlaardingen. It links two Vlaardingen suburbs, Holy-Zuid on the east side of the bridge and Broekpolder on the west side. The bridge has a span of 45 meters across the Vlaardingse Vaart, a canal that runs north from Vlaardingen to Schipluiden.

Design
The bridge's truss is made of 400 steel tubes, welded together and originally painted red; the color has since rapidly faded. The truss's rectangular cross-section twists through a 90 degree angle along the span of the bridge, so that it is nearly horizontal at both ends of the bridge but diamond-shaped in the bridge's center. This design creates an illusion from some points of view that the bridge has collapsed, but it also serves a functional purpose, damping vibrations from traffic on the bridge.

History
The bridge was designed by Dutch firm West 8 beginning in 2005, with structural engineering consultation from another firm, ABT. It was prefabricated and then lifted into place in early 2009, and officially opened in April 2009. It was one of three finalists in the "best public space" category for the Dutch Design Awards in 2009.

The 200th Division () was the first mechanised division in the National Revolutionary Army. It was created in 1938 by General Du Yuming, who was also its first commander. Its first action was against the Japanese 14th Division in the Battle of Lanfeng.

Original organization (January 1938) 
200th Division
1149th Regiment (Tank Regiment)
1150th Regiment (Tank Regiment)
1151st Regiment (Armoured Car Regiment)
1152nd Regiment (Mechanized Infantry)
52nd Artillery Regiment

Equipment 
The Tank regiments had 70 T-26, 4 BT-5, 20 ( 92? ) CV-33 tanks, AMR 35 tanks. The armoured car regiment had around 50 BA armoured cars and 12 ( 18? ) Leichter Panzerspähwagen (Sd Kfz 221) armoured cars.  Besides, it had more than 400 Ford trucks.  The motorised infantry regiment used Soviet trucks and rifles, and the artillery regiment had 12 122 mm howitzers, also 45 mm anti-aircraft artillery and 75 mm field guns.

Following the Divisions combats in May in the Battle of Lanfeng and in operations afterward until September 1938, the division's original subordinate mechanized units were placed under direct command of the 5th Army, and the division was reorganized as a motorised infantry division of about 9000 men due to the June 1938 reorganization of Divisions.

Organization (October 1938)
200th Division (Major-General Dai Anlan) 
598th Regiment
599th Regiment
600th Regiment

It was next sent as reinforcement to the first Battle of Changsha but was never engaged. The armoured and artillery Regiments were placed under direct command of 5th Army and the 200th Division became a motorized Infantry Division within the same Army with the 1st Honor Division. The 200th Division participated with 5th Corps against the Japanese invasion of Guangxi, in the defense of Nanning, and in the devastating victory against the Japanese in the Battle of Kunlun Pass, wiping out an entire Japanese brigade. It suffered heavy losses after the battle at Kunlun Pass in an offensive against Batang, losing nearly two-thirds of its strength.

Rebuilt and reorganized, the division participated in the Battle of Yunnan-Burma Road in early 1942 and in the Burma campaign. The 200th Division distinguished itself in fighting in the Battle of Toungoo and the Battle of Hopong - Taunggyi but suffered a disastrous defeat in the Battle of Hsipaw-Mogok Highway near the end of the campaign as it was attempting to retreat to China. Its commanding officer, Dai Anlan, died of wounds suffered in that battle while being carried by the remnants of his force as it made its way back to China.

The Plurals Party (often known by the abbreviated name Plurals, TPP, दप्पा) is an Indian political party founded in the state of Bihar by Pushpam Priya Choudhary, alumna of the London School of Economics and Institute of Development Studies, whose central policies include employment, education, healthcare, rural development, industrialisation, urban centres and capabilities inclusion of people and the regions. Plurals started its political journey by contesting 2020 Bihar Legislative Assembly election against the National Democratic Alliance of Bharatiya Janata Party and Janata Dal (United) and Grand Alliance of Rashtriya Janata Dal, Indian National Congress and several leftist parties.

History

Formation

The party was founded on 8 March 2020 by Pushpam Priya Choudhary, who was projected by the party as Chief Minister candidate for 2020 Bihar Legislative Assembly election and former civil servant Anupam Kumar Suman who was posted as the special secretary of the Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar before his resignation, who later joined as the General Secretary of the party.

Election Campaign

Pushpam Priya Choudhary travelled across the state and raised the issues of closed industries, unproductive agriculture, ruined heritage and unemployment with the party campaign of "Let’s Open Bihar" and "30 Years Lockdown". She pointed out the underdevelopment of the state in the post-globalisation phase after 1990, which is also synchronised with the Lalu Prasad Yadav-Nitish Kumar regime.

Bihar Assembly Elections

The party made its electoral debut in the 2020 Bihar Legislative Assembly election and contested all 243 seats. As the party opposed the politics of caste and religion following its pluralistic ideology, it declared its candidate’s name while mentioning their profession (doctor, engineer, teacher etc) as their caste and their religion as ‘Bihari’. Many of the nominations of its candidates were rejected, which the party opposed vehemently. All party candidates who contested the elections lost, including party president Pushpam Priya Choudhary who contested from Bankipur and Bisfi constituencies. Party members finally contested on 148 seats including those declared independent because of the delay in party registration. Total vote secured by the candidates on these seats was 2,09,417.

Founded in 1961, Carroll Hospital is a branch of Lifebridge Health located in Westminster, Maryland. Carroll Hospital offers comprehensive medical care, with specialties including minimally invasive surgery and a state-of-the-art cancer center.

History
On October 1, 1961, Carroll County General Hospital opened its doors. Originally planned by local citizens in 1957, the hospital had only 50 beds with 125 employees. By the late 1960s, medical needs had increased in the community and the hospital added a North wing and a West wing.

Before 1980, another expansion added three more floors to both wings. The 159-bed facility also housed services such as Physical Therapy. The Emergency Department, X-ray Department, and Laboratory were expanded as well. Carroll County General Hospital was awarded its first two-year accreditation by JCAHO (now Joint Commission) in 1981. Throughout the decade, the hospital upgraded many services, including CT scans, pediatrics, and minimally invasive surgical techniques (arthroscopy, laparoscopy).

In 1995, amidst a very large population growth in Carroll County, the hospital added a Psychiatric unit, Angiography Lab, larger Emergency Department, Sleep Lab, and Oncology. The Family Birthplace opened in 1996 and hosted 20 private suites. It provided patients with labor and delivery services, as well as recovery and post-partum services. The Richard N. Dixon Surgery Center opened in 1997 providing the community with outpatient surgeries—the first facility of its kind in the county. The Women's Place opened in 1999 with a focus on the wellness of women.

The largest expansions occurred during the 2000 millennium. Carroll County General Hospital changed its name to Carroll Hospital in 2003, and, in December of that year, Carroll Hospital Center opened a . new Emergency Department. By 2004, a South tower was opened, this one was 5 stories tall with 24 privatized rooms for patients on each floor. The original Emergency Department was then renovated for Outpatient Services and opened in 2005 for diabetes, hyperbaric sessions, and wound care treatments. Cardiac Rehab was also moved to Outpatient Services. A renovated Operating Room opened in 2007, along with an inpatient hospice facility named Dove House which houses the Carroll Homecare and Carroll Hospice departments.

During the summer of 2011, Carroll Hospital acquired the Carroll Regional Cancer Center which had previously been owned by U.S. Oncology. In February 2013, construction began on a new wellness center. Upon completion in 2014, The William E. Kahlert Regional Cancer Center and Tevis Center for Wellness will be the new home for the Carroll Regional Cancer Center.

Carroll Hospital announced, on November 6, 2014, that it intended to partner with LifeBridge Health of Baltimore, Maryland. On April 1, 2015 Carroll Hospital officially became a subsidiary of the Life Bridge Health organization, making it the third hospital in the healthcare system.

Rufus Flint (born ) was a professor of English and mathematics at the National Autonomous University of Nicaragua, conducting early Central American biodiversity studies while enrolled at Cornell University. He took his degree in mechanical engineering from Cornell’s Sibley College of Engineering in 1887.

The Nicaraguan Study
In August 1887, Professor Robert Henry Thurston, director of the Sibley College of Engineering at Cornell University, presented Rufus Flint’s three-year study of Nicaragua hardwoods to the American Association for the Advancement of Science.  The impetus behind the Cornell research conducted by Flint was to assess the viability of exploiting Central American timber stands when the Northwest American forest resources were exhausted.  As Appleton’s Cyclopedia record, the study, “. . . proved that in that country there exist most valuable varieties of wood.  The present impending wood famine may, the speaker said, be averted by the use of tropical timber.”

Family
Flint was the son of an American physician,   Earl Flint.  His mother was native to the Nicaraos nation.  Dr. Flint arrived in Nicaragua from New England about 1850.  He lived mainly in the cities of Granada and Rivas, Nicaragua, until his death in the late 1890s. In the 1870s, Earl Flint became an antiquities collector for the Smithsonian Institution.  About 1878, he began working for the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology at Harvard University about 1878, sending collections and letters to the museum until 1899.  Rufus Flint donated land to build the sanctuary for the “Christo Negro”, or Black Christ, of La Conquista, Carazo, Nicaragua.  La Conquista was named for the Spanish colonial response to an indigenous rebellion against imperial authority. His son, also named Rufus Flint, was the inaugural coach of the Nicaraguan soccer team, Railroad Star, in 1924. And in 1927, Rufus Flint, Jr. served as head of Nicaragua’s National Football League.

Member
While at Cornell, he was tapped into the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity in 1885.

Dendrocopos is a widespread genus of woodpeckers from Asia, Europe and Northern Africa. The species range from the Philippines to the British Isles.

Taxonomy
The genus Dendrocopos was introduced in 1816 by the German naturalist Carl Ludwig Koch.  The name combines the Ancient Greek dendron meaning "tree" with kopos meaning "striking". The type species was designated as the great spotted woodpecker (Dendrocopos major) by the Scottish ornithologist Edward Hargitt in 1890 in his catalogue of woodpeckers in the collection of the British Museum.

The genus at one time contained around 25 species. A molecular phylogenetic analysis of the pied woodpeckers published in 2015 found that Dendrocopos was polyphyletic. In the rearranged genera the number of species in Dendrocopos was reduced to 12 as listed below.

Vinayaditya ruled the Chalukya kingdom from 681 to 696 AD. He was the son of Vikramaditya I and the successor of the chalukya kingdom. Similar to his forefathers, he took up titles such as "Shri-Prithivi-Vallabha", "Satyasraya", "Yuddhamalla" and "Rajasraya". He carried campaigns against the Pallavas, Kalabhras, Haihayas, Vilas, Cholas, Pandyas, Gangas and many more. He levied tribute from the kings of Kavera, Parasika (Iran), Sinhala (Ceylon). He acquired the banner called Palidhvaja by defeating the Lord of the entire Uttarapatha. (The name of the Lord of Uttarapatha is not known or mentioned anywhere)

Northern expedition 
Inscriptions speak of many victories to Vinyaditya.  He had fought alongside his father against the Pallavas. According to the Jejuri record of 684, he defeated the Pallavas, Kalabhras, Keralas (Cheras, the rulers of western Tamil Nadu and central Kerala) and the Kalachuris of central India. From the Kolhapur plates of 678, it can be seen that he defeated the kingdoms of Lanka and Kamera, which according to Dr. S. Nagaraju was Khmer or Cambodia. The Vakkaleri plates confirm the Chalukya levying tribute on Kamera, Lanka and Parasika (Persia).

According to Dr. Sircar, it is very possible that the chiefs of Lanka and Persia may have sought protection from the Chalukya, considering the unstable political situation in those countries. During this time, Persia was under Islamic invasion. Vinayaditya sent an expedition to the north under the command of his son Vijayaditya. According to some accounts, Vijayaditya was captured and held prisoner and after a period of incarceration, escaped and returned to the Chalukyan kingdom to be crowned the monarch of the empire. Vinayaditya sent an ambassador to the Chinese court in 692. Vijayaditya succeeded his father in 696.

Rule
Vinayaditya converted a village named Hadagile in Beluvala-300 into a dana-shala (charity-house) in year 683.

Stan Bisset MC OAM (27 August 1912 – 5 October 2010) was an Australian national representative rugby union player and military officer who saw active service in the Second World War.

Early life
Bisset was born in St Kilda, Victoria on 27 August 1912. He was a promising Australian Rules football ruckman before being persuaded to play rugby.

Rugby union career
A second-rower, goal-kicker and captain, Bisset played with the Power House Rugby Club in Melbourne. During his tenure as first grade captain at Power House Bisset steered the side to two first grade premierships in 1935 and 1936, before earning Victorian selection the following year. Bisset played in the last Victorian XV to beat the Warratahs in a fixture at Manly Oval in 1937, and represented Victoria against the Springboks the same year.  He was one of four Victorians who were selected for the ill-fated 1939 Wallaby tour of Great Britain that was captained by Vay Wilson. The team docked at Southampton on the day when England declared war and after a couple of weeks spent filling sandbags to start the war effort, the squad set sail for Australia having not played a game. Of the unlucky tourists, only Bill McLean, Keith Windon and Len Smith would return to footballing success after the war.

Second World War
Stan and the team returned home where he joined the 2/14th Battalion joining his older brother Hal, known as Butch.  Stan was a lieutenant in charge of an intelligence section while Butch was a platoon commander. Both men saw service in the Middle East before Australian forces returned to the South West Pacific in 1942 to defend Australia against the Japanese push through Papua New Guinea on the Kokoda Track.

After arriving in Papua New Guinea, Stan and Butch were sent up the Kokoda Track to relieve the 39th Battalion who were holding out the Japanese at Isurava. During the battle Stan was wounded by a bullet which grazed an eyebrow, and Butch was wounded in action on the Kokoda Track and died in Stan's arms in 1942. Butch was buried on the Track.

Stan was awarded the Military Cross for actions during the attack on Palliers Hill in the Markham and Ramu valleys in September 1943.

Honours
On 12 June 2000 Stan was granted a Medal of the Order of Australia for service to veterans particularly those of the 2/14th Battalion, 7th Division.

Later life
Stan died on 5 October 2010 at a nursing home in Coolum, Queensland. He is survived by his wife Gloria, and his children, Sally, James, Holly, Tom and Ros.
