The Brudevælte Lurs, found in a bog north of Lynge on the Danish island of Zealand, are six lurs, which are so well preserved that they can still be played.

History
The three pairs of lurs were found by a farmer in 1797 in a turf grave in a bog which has since been drained. It was the first hoard of Lurs ever discovered, and also the largest and most important.

Description
The length of the Lurs ranges between 1.5 and 2.2 metres. They have different tunes from one another and were made around 800-700 BC. The Danish archaeologist Christian Jürgensen Thomsen (1788-1865) was the first to refer to the bronze instruments with the Old Norse word luðr, before that they were referred to as "horns".

Most lurs are found as hoards. That they had great cultural significance is indicated by hoards with a cultic context and by the frequent depiction of Lur-players on Scandinavian Bronze Age rock art. In these depictions the lur-players are usually depicted as pairs and, as a rule, lurs are found in pairs. These pairs are always tuned to the same tone. The tone sequence is based on just intonation; a good player can produce a wide tonal range. The sound of the lurs is powerful and piercing, similar to the trombone.

The lurs consist of an S-shaped pipe made of several pieces that have been welded together, a sound-board at the upper end and a mouthpiece at the lower end. The lurs were cast from bronze with a level of craftsmanship so high that it is still not entirely clear to modern scholars how they achieved such perfection with the quality of casting technology available to them.

Exhibition
Five of the Brudevælte lurs are found in the National Museum of Denmark in Copenhagen. The sixth was given to the Russian Tsar Nicholas I in 1845.

Grevillea dolichopoda is a species of flowering plant in the family Proteaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is a low-lying shrub with linear to more or less cylindrical leaves and groups up to four red and orange flowers with a red, green-tipped style.

Description
Grevillea dolichopoda is a low-lying shrub that typically grows to a height of . Its leaves are linear to more or less cylindrical,  long and  wide with the edges rolled under, enclosing the lower surface. The flowers are arranged in groups of up to four,  long on a hairy rachis about  long. The flowers are red and orange with a green-tipped, red style, the pistil  long. Flowering occurs from April to November and the fruit is a oval follicle about  long with a few shaggy hairs.

Taxonomy
This grevillea was first formally described in 1986 by Donald McGillivray who gave it the name Grevillea disjuncta subsp. dolichopoda in his book New names in Grevillea (Proteaceae) from specimens collected near Ongerup in 1976. In 1993 Peter M. Olde and Neil R. Marriott raised the subspecies to species status as Grevillea dolichopoda. The specific epithet (dolichopoda) means "long foot".

Distribution and habitat
Grevillea dolichopoda grows in heath or mallee shrubland from Nyabing to the Gairdner River, between Varley and Ravensthorpe, and from East Mount Barren to the lower Hamersley River in the Esperance Plains and Mallee biogeographic regions of south-western Western Australia.

China Railways Test and Certification Center (CRCC, ) is responsible for certifications of railway products for the Chinese market.

Until 2003 the state-owned enterprise was named Railways Product Certification Center. In 2012, the CRCC enlarged its business scope and included railway equipment in their business portfolio. The CRCC employs more than 300 qualified employees.

Mandatory CRCC products 
In 2014, the official CRCC product catalogue includes about 378 products, which all can be check on the CRCC website. Among them are switches, single wagons, locomotives and complete trains.  Furthermore, components like signaling equipment, isolators, brakes and brake blocks.

Certification process 
For applying for a CRCC certification, firstly, the Chinese regulations (Implementation Rules and GB-Standards) have to be bought at the CRCC. Afterwards the application documents for the respective products have to be handed in at the CRCC. For the third step, companies shall send product sample to the CRCC for receiving the test reports with the test results which are issued only in Chinese. 
If all product tests are completed successfully, Chinese inspectors will visit the manufacturing site for a 2-day audit. After the factory audit, the CRCC will issue a Certificate of Approval.

An EAD socket was a network connection socket used in the early 1990s. They are now considered obsolete.

Ethernet networking of this period (mid 1980s to mid 1990s) used "thin coax" or 10BASE2. All devices on a network segment connected to the same electrical section of RG-58 coaxial cable. Intermediate devices were connected via a T piece. The two ends of the segment were terminated with a resistive network terminator. Although these networks were reliable when connected, they were prone to accidental misconnection by non-technical office staff. This was particularly an issue when devices, such as desktop computers, were being added or removed from the network. Although a rare need at this time, the situation was even worse for portable laptops. 

To avoid some of the drawbacks with 10BASE2 over BNC connectors, the EAD socket was one of several alternatives developed to give an "office friendly" network connector that could easily be connected and disconnected, and avoided the risk of making misconnections.

With the obsolescence of 10BASE2 networks, from the mid 1990s, in favour of Ethernet over twisted pair, EAD sockets became obsolete.

EAD is an abbreviation for German Ethernet-Anschlussdose, and were developed from TAE connectors for telephony applications but were intended for connecting coaxial network cables like 10BASE2. A different mechanical encoding (Type E) prevented mix-up with phone plugs. 

EAD cables were duplex connections replacing two thin-wire cables, with the T-connector integrated into the BNC end. The contacts of an EAD outlet are closed if no connector is plugged in. When a cable is plugged in, the normally-closed contacts in the socket are opened so that signals pass through the loop cable. Worn out connectors or outlets can cause the same problems that haunted the simpler connectors but user errors are largely reduced.

Saluda is a census-designated place (CDP) in and the county seat of Middlesex County, Virginia, United States. The population as of the 2010 Census was 769.

The Middlesex County Courthouse was built between 1850 and 1874 by architects William R. Jones and John P. Hill, and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. A new courthouse complex was built in the 2003–2004 time-frame, but the opening was stalled due to various construction problems, leading to a legal dispute between the County board and the contractor. It was eventually opened in 2007.

An older notable building is the Christ Church. The highly decorated Marine, veteran of the Banana Wars, World War II, and the Korean War, Lieutenant General Lewis Burwell "Chesty" Puller was raised in Saluda. He died in Hampton, Virginia in 1971, and was buried in historic Christ Church's Cemetery near Saluda.

Gaspare Gasparini (died 30 September 1590) was a native of Macerata. He was a disciple of Girolamo Siciolante da Sermoneta, whose style he followed, though in a less finished manner; as appears in his two pictures in the church of San Venanzio at Fabriano, representing The Baptism of Christ and The Last Supper. He is seen to more advantage in his picture of St. Peter and St. John curing the Lame Man, in the same church, a grand composition, in which he seems to have imitated the style of Raphael. In the church of the Conventuali, in his native place, there is a fine picture of St. Francis receiving the Stigmata.
