Route 42 is an east–west state highway in Connecticut running for  from Route 67 in Oxford to Route 10 in Cheshire.

Route description

Route 42 begins at an intersection with Route 67 just east of the town center of Oxford as Chestnut Tree Hill Road Extension . The route makes several 90-degree turns as it shifts to Chestnut Tree Hill Road  and then to  Pines Bridge Road. The road soon enters the town of Beacon Falls, crossing over the Naugatuck River a mile beyond the town line. Route 42 continues along the east bank of the Naugatuck River via a short (0.25-mi) section of Old Turnpike Road  to a partial interchange with Route 8, where only access to southbound and from northbound Route 8 is possible. Past Route 8, the road becomes known as South Main Street , a divided four-lane road.  beyond the Route 8 junction, Route 42 turns east onto Bethany Road while South Main Street continues north into Beacon Falls center. 

Route 42 again makes several 90-degree turns as it proceeds eastward, shifting from Bethany Road to Munson Road then to Lasky Road. After , Route 42 enters the town of Bethany and the road name changes to  Beacon Road . About two miles (3 km) later, the road ends at  Old Litchfield Turnpike  near the junction with Route 63. Vehicles bound for southbound Route 63 are directed onto the south branch (unsigned State Road 703) while those bound for Route 63 northbound and those following Route 42 are directed on the north branch (Route 42 proper). After overlapping Route 63 for a tenth of a mile, Route 42 continues east on Cheshire Road, intersecting with Route 69 about a mile later. The road then clips the town of Prospect for about 0.4 miles (as Mountain Road) before entering the town of Cheshire. In Cheshire, the road name becomes Bethany Mountain Road  as it traverses the ridge separating Prospect/Bethany and Cheshire (part of the Metacomet Ridge). At the end of Bethany Mountain Road, Route 42 turns north onto  North Brooksvale Road. The road runs for another  and ends at Route 10 (South Main Street) south of Cheshire center.

History 
Route 42 was established in 1963 as a result of the Route Reclassification Act from unsigned state roads that were taken over by the state the previous year. When first designated, Route 42 extended from Route 8 in the town center of Beacon Falls to Route 10 in the Brooksvale section of Cheshire. In Beacon Falls, the original route used Burton Road instead of the modern alignment on Bethany Road and Munson Road. In 1967, Route 42 was extended west of Route 8 from Pines Bridge to Route 67 in the town center of Oxford. In 1968, Route 42 was relocated southward to bypass Beacon Falls center to its modern alignment along Bethany Road.

Martin Pope (born Isidore Poppick; August 22, 1918March 27, 2022) was an American physical chemist and professor at New York University.

His discoveries of ohmic contacts and research in the fields of organic insulators and semiconductors led to techniques enabling organic semiconductors to carry relatively large currents, and to convert electricity into light and vice versa.  These discoveries have had application in electrophotography, organic light-emitting diodes (OLED), photovoltaic cells, biological sensors, transistors, molecular electronics, and batteries.

For his work, Dr. Pope was awarded the Davy Medal from the Royal Society in 2006.

Biography

Martin Pope was born in 1918 to Jewish immigrants from Ukraine. The second of four sons, Pope grew up on New York's Lower East Side. He attended the City College of New York, graduating with a bachelor's degree in chemistry in 1939.

While at CCNY, Pope assisted in nuclear experiments at Columbia University and met Fermi, Schwinger, Dunning and other key figures in the development of nuclear fission.  After graduation, he served in the Army Air Force in the Pacific, where he reached the rank of first lieutenant. After the war, Pope returned home and found work at Balco Research Laboratories, where he received two patents for thin film inventions. He received his Ph.D. in 1950 from the Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute.

He joined the faculty of New York University in 1956 as a researcher in the Radiation and Solid State Physics Lab (RSSL). In 1988, he retired as professor of chemistry and director of the RSSL. He became professor emeritus, physical chemistry at NYU. He was still active in research until the final years of his life. He published his last two papers in 2003 and 2004.

Personal life and death
Pope married Lillie Pope, an educational psychologist and author, in 1946. She died in 2015.

He turned 100 in August 2018, and died on March 27, 2022, at the age of 103.

The Kunstmuseum Bonn or Bonn Museum of Modern Art is an art museum in Bonn, Germany, founded in 1947. The Kunstmuseum exhibits both temporary exhibitions and its collection. Its collection is focused on Rhenish Expressionism and post-war German art.  It is part of Bonn's "Museum Mile".

Architecture
The present building, which opened in 1992, was created by the BJSS firm (Axel Schultes) and Jürgen Pleuser at a cost of about DM-100 million. It has three entrances, symbolising openness. The design of the staircase has been described as a "precise geometry, cut like jewellery.  The conception of light brings the collection to life." The total exhibition area is around .

Rhenish Expressionism and art since 1945
The collections of the Kunstmuseum focus on three strong points: Rhenish Expressionism (the largest collection in the world), post-war German art (particularly the 1960s to the early 1990s), and an international collection of post-war prints. German artists on display include Georg Baselitz, Joseph Beuys, Hanne Darboven, Anselm Kiefer, August Macke, Blinky Palermo and Wolf Vostell.  Selected non-German artists are integrated into the display, such as Robert Delaunay in the Macke section, Richard Long in combination with Palermo, Lucio Fontana with Beuys, and Jannis Kounellis with Gerhard Merz.

Prints collection and video art
The prints collection, featuring around 5,000 works from the 20th and 21st centuries, includes so-called "multiples" by Beuys, illustrated books by Max Ernst, and printed graphics from the Bolliger Collection.

The Oppenheim Collection of video art includes works by Dennis Oppenheim, Joan Jonas, Klaus vom Bruch, Marcel Odenbach and Julian Rosefeldt.

The Videonale festival of contemporary video art, now based at the Kunstmuseum, has taken place biennially in Bonn since 1984.

New direction

In 2005, the museum sold the former Grothe Collection to a married pair of collectors, the Ströhers, for €50m.  This triggered a wide-ranging set of changes to the permanent exhibition, beginning in 2007, described by the incoming director Stephan Berg as a "certain rejuvenation". The works on the way out included Degenerate Art by Sigmar Polke and Assisi Cycle by Gotthard Graubner. Their place was taken by the work of younger artists.  Some of the sculptures in front of the building were also acquired by the Ströhers.

Boiling Down Works is a heritage-listed boiling down works at Truganinni Road, Burketown, Shire of Burke, Queensland, Australia. It was built from 1891 to 1901. It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 21 August 1992.

History 
The first boiling down works was established in 1867. The plan was to cure beef in brine for export to Batavia. However, the business was not successful and closed in 1870.

Construction of a new boiling down works commenced in November 1891 and was operational in July 1892. However, it closed for a period around 1893-4 due to the drought. In February 1896 it shut down again after a quarantine order to prevent the spread of disease and cattle tick.

In April 1898 it was announced that the Endeavour Meat Export Agency would re-open the Burketown meatworks. However, the meatworks burned down in June 1898 and had to be rebuilt in order to re-open in June 1899.

In February 1901, the works was doing well, processing 20,000 cattle in a season. However, the business had losses from its decision to own and operate its own ships. In October 1901, the works closed temporarily due to a shortage of cattle because of the high prices being paid for cattle by Kidman Brothers and Elder, Smith & Co. In November 1902, the Queensland Government withdrew its meat inspectors from the works because of "the closing down of the meatworks and the uncertainty of about their reopening".

In 1911, in a bid to get a railway link from Burketown in order to ship cattle for processing on the east coast, it was claimed that it was no longer possible to process the cattle in Burketown as "the white ants are making havoc with all that remains of the Burketown works".
