B Line (Los Angeles Metro)
The B Line (formally the Red Line) was part of a plan to connect Downtown Los Angeles with a rapid transit line to central and western portions of Los Angeles. Early plans in the 1980s had the line traveling west along Wilshire Boulevard and then north to the San Fernando Valley using Fairfax Avenue. Many residents who lived near the proposed line did not like the plan.
In 1985, a methane explosion occurred at a Ross Dress for Less clothing store near Fairfax Avenue. Although the explosion was unrelated to the line, the area became a "methane zone". This stopped any plan for a rapid transit line to travel on Fairfax Avenue.
Los Angeles Metro staff decided to reroute the Red Line after the incident. The line changed from traveling north on Vermont Avenue instead of Fairfax. The route on Vermont was originally going to be above ground. It was changed to underground due to complaints from nearby businesses, hospitals, and media studios in Hollywood.
The project was built in four phases. Construction started on the first phase (MOS-1) of the Red Line on September 29, 1986. The first phase went from Union Station in Downtown Los Angeles to Westlake/MacArthur Park station. It opened on January 30, 1993. The second phase (MOS-2A) went from Westlake/MacArthur Park station to Wilshire/Western station in Koreatown. That expansion started service in 1996.
The third phase (MOS-2B) continued to extend the line from Wilshire/Vermont to the Hollywood/Vine station. However, some serious problems occurred during the construction of that phase. A sinkhole formed in the ground on Hollywood Boulevard. This nearly hurt many workers and damaged some buildings on the street. This problem stopped construction until experts could decide how to fix it. MOS-2B eventually opened in 1999.
The project's fourth phase (MOS-3) completed the rapid transit line from Hollywood/Highland to North Hollywood station. It opened on June 24, 2000. This phase required tunneling underneath the Santa Monica Mountains. Metro had plans to extend the line further, but those plans were canceled. The people of Los Angeles voted in 1998 for the city to stop using more taxes for subway tunneling. This stopped new rapid transit line construction in Los Angeles. Those plans were replaced with new light rail lines and busways. Overall, the construction of the current Red Line cost $4.5 billion.
Once the line was complete, trains started running on two routes. Union Station to Wilshire/Western and Union Station to North Hollywood. To clarify, the trains that went to Union Station and Wilshire/Western were given a new name, the Purple Line, in 2006. In 2020, the Red Line was renamed to the B Line, and the Purple Line became the D Line.
The B Line begins service daily at 4:30 a.m. and ends around midnight. During the day, trains are scheduled to come every 12 minutes. In the early mornings and late nights, trains are scheduled to come every 20 minutes.
The rolling stock (trains) used on the B (and D) Line are called the Breda A650. Metro operates those trains with six cars during rush hours and four cars at other times. The B Line operates out of the Division 20 Yard (Santa Fe Yard). This yard also stores and gives maintenance to the trains. The yard is located east of Union Station.
The B Line stops at 14 stations from Union Station to North Hollywood. All stations are underground. The line's northern station is North Hollywood station in the San Fernando Valley. Heading towards Union Station, the line turns southeast and passes underneath the Santa Monica Mountains. When it reaches the Hollywood/Highland station, the line travels east underneath Hollywood Boulevard. At the intersection of Vermont and Hollywood, the line turns south under Vermont Avenue until it connects to the D Line's tracks at Wilshire/Vermont Station. B Line shares the same track and 6 stations with the D Line from Wilshire/Vermont to Union Station.

Majorian (Latin: Iulius Flavius Valerius Maiorianus, c. 420 - 7 August 461) Was a Western Roman emperor from 1 April 457 - 2 August 461. Majorian was a skilled general and was probably the last hope for the survival of the crumbling Western Roman Empire as he was able to reconquer much of southern gaul and much of Hispania back under Roman Control. In 7 August 461, Majorian was deposed by a germanic roman general Ricimer and was killed.
During his reign, Majorian was able to secure several succesful campaigns in Gaul and Hispania reconquering much of both provinces and bringing it back under Roman Control. In 460 Majorian went to Hispania and ordered to build as massive fleet for preperations for an invasion of Africa, but before he was able to put his plans into action, his redied fleet was burned most of it destroyed and only leaving a few warships in a good state. After the incident, Majorian abandons his plans for a possible reconquest of Africa and instead focused on retaking Gaul and Hispania instead.

Romulus Augustus is recognised as the last ruler of the Western Roman Empire.
After being deposed by a Roman General Orestes he retreated to Dalmatia where he continued to claim the western imperial title and was continued to be recognised by the Eastern Roman Empire until he was murdered in 480.
Gravitational redshift
In physics and general relativity, we have something called gravitational redshift. It's like this: Imagine you have light (photons), moving away from a place with very strong gravity, like a star or a black hole. As these photons move away, they look like they are losing energy. This makes them look like they have a lower frequency and longer wavelength, which we call a redshift because this moves light to the red part of the spectrum.
But, if photons move towards a place with strong gravity, like towards a star or black hole, they look like they are gaining more energy. This is called gravitational blueshift, and it's like moving light towards the blue end of the spectrum.
There are two main ways to explain gravitational redshift and blueshift. One way connects it to the equivalence principle, which says that gravity and acceleration are kinda the same thing. If you think of it this way, the redshift happens because of something called the Doppler effect.
Now, don't expect to see lots of redshift in everyday life because gravitational redshifts are very small most of the time. For example, sunlight that escapes from the Sun gets redshifted by a teeny tiny amount, and GPS signals from satellites experience a tiny blueshift. But it's still important to think about these effects for precise measurements, especially in things like GPS technology.
In astronomy, when we talk about these shifts, we often describe them as equivalent velocities. So, the sunlight redshift is like saying the light looks like it is moving away at a certain speed, but it's super tiny. The redshift is only much bigger when you look at objects with strong gravity, like black holes.
Scientists use these gravitational redshifts to test Einstein's theory of relativity and even look for dark matter. It's an interesting concept that helps us understand the effects of gravity on light and the universe around us.
Unionism in the United Kingdom
Unionism in the United Kingdom, also referred to as UK unionism or British unionism, is a political opinion.

Duane Bryers
Unlike other pin-up grils Hilda is not slim. She looks like a normal woman. Today, models who look like Hilda are called plus-size models.
Dune Bryers had three brothers and two sisters. He spent his childhood on his parents' farm in Upper Peninsula of Michigan. When he was twelve, the family moved to Virginia, Minnesota, where he lived until 1939. He then had studios in Chicago and New York City.
Dee died in 2002 and Duane Bryers returned to Tucson. He died a few weeks before his 101st birthday.
In 1937, Bryers won a cash prize with a mural showing mining history in Minnesota. He later used the money to move to New York.
In 1942 he entered the Museum of Modern Art's National War Poster Competition with his poster design "This is the Enemy" in category C "The Nature of the Enemy". The poster was featured in an article in Life magazine. During his time at the flight mechanics school of the US Army Air Force from 1943 to 1946, he earned some money with so-called "girlie art" on aircraft fuselages (nose art). For the military base newspaper, he drew posters and comic strips featuring his original character Cokey.
After his military service, Bryers mainly illustrated calendars on the theme of American frontier. Brown & Bigelow in Saint Paul, Minnesota published these calendars. In 1974 he also illustrated the book "The Bunkhouse Boys from the Lazy Daisy Ranch", the text of which was written by his second wife Dee. However, he became famous for his creation Hilda, a fun-loving, chubby pin-up girl, of whom he made about 250 drawings beginning in 1956. Hilda also appeared on Brown & Bigelow calendars. Besides the real pin-up icon Betty Page, Hilda was the most frequently pictured pin-up girl in the 1950s.

He also took part in annual exhibitions in Houston, the so-called Western Heritage Show. The Duane Bryers Studio (DBS) has been in the Tucson Museum of Art since November 2013.
Plus-size model
A plus-size model is a female model, who has a clothing size that is bigger than the size 34/36 used for women. Usually they were clothing sizes 40 to about 52.They are also called Curvy models. Some of the models criticize the naming. They want to drop the "plus" from the name, and be considered normal. Very often, they advertise clothing that normal women can actually wear. Many are also active in stock photography. Some are advertising products other than clothing, for example cosmetics or sunglasses.
Other names used include "full-figured model", "extended-sizes model", "over-weight model", and "outsize model". Previously, the term "large size model" was also frequently used.
In the past, there were discussions about models being anorexic, or models with eating disorders and problems of drug abuse. With this in mind, many fashion designer started to use plus-size models for advertising campaigns and catwalks.
There are specialized model agencies focussing on plus-size models. The first of these agencies started in the 1970s.
European magazines, including European editions of Elle and Vogue have featured plus size models on covers and in editorials.
In France, the media "ma grande taille" is dedicated to plus size industry and body positivity.
Evans, a U.K.-based retailer, was founded in 1930. Evans specializes in plus-sized clothing, lingerie, shoes and swimwear.
Ergosphere
In this place, it's impossible to stay in one place because of "frame-dragging." According to general relativity, anything that spins will twist the spacetime around it. This is frame dragging. So, near a rotating black hole, things start spin around it. For a spinning black hole, frame-dragging is so strong that to stay in one place, you'd have to move backward faster than the speed of light, which is impossible.
Now, this ergosphere isn't just a simple circle; it has a bit of a shape. It's kind of like a big, flattened ball. Think of it as an oblate spheroid, sort of like a pumpkin. At the top and bottom of the black hole, it touches the event horizon, but as you move toward the equator (the middle part), it goes out farther.
The size of this ergosphere depends on how fast the black hole is spinning. If it's spinning just a bit, the ergosphere is more round. But if the black hole is spinning very fast, the ergosphere starts looking more like a stretched pumpkin.
The edge of the ergosphere at the equator has the same size as the Schwarzschild radius of a black hole. And at the poles, it can be even smaller, like just half the Schwarzschild radius, especially for a super-fast-spinning black hole.
If something is inside the ergosphere, it can still escape from the black hole. But with more energy than when it went in. And we could get energy from it through the Penrose process.
Rin Tin Tin and his mate Nanette II had 48 puppies and many of them would go on to also act under the Rin Tin Tin name.
On February 8, 1960, Rin Tin Tin was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The American Academy of Arts and Sciences honored him in the documentary "Hollywood Dogs: From Rin Tin Tin to Uggie".

Raorchestes agasthyaensis
The Agasthya bush frog ("Raorchestes agasthyaensis") is a frog. It lives in India. Scientists have seen it between 600 and 1600 meters above sea level in the Western Ghat mountains.
This frog lives on bushes. People have seen it on and near tea farms and in evergreen forests. People have also seen it in places where people have cut down some trees but not all the trees to get wood to build with. This frog hatches out of its egg as a small frog. It never swims as a tadpole.
Some of the places this frog lives are protected parks.
