NGC 40

NGC 40 (also known as the Bow-Tie Nebula and Caldwell 2) is a planetary nebula discovered by William Herschel on November 25, 1788, and is composed of hot gas around a dying star. The star has ejected its outer layer which has left behind a small, hot star. Radiation from the star causes the shed outer layer to heat to about 10,000 degrees Celsius and become visible as a planetary nebula.  The nebula is about one light-year across. About 30,000 years from now, scientists theorize that NGC 40 will fade away, leaving only a white dwarf star approximately the size of Earth.

Morphologically, the shape of NGC 40 resembles a barrel with the long axis pointing towards the north-northeast. There are two additional pairs of lobes around the poles, which correspond to additional ejections from the star.

The central star of NGC 40 has a Henry Draper Catalogue designation of HD 826.  It has a spectral type of [WC8], indicating a spectrum similar to that of a carbon-rich Wolf–Rayet star.  The central star has a bolometric luminosity of about  and radius of .  The star appears to have an effective temperature of about , but the temperature of the source ionising the nebula is only about .  One proposed explanation to this contradiction is that the star was previously cooler, but has experienced a late thermal pulse which re-ignited fusion and caused its temperature to increase.

Godavari–Krishna mangroves

The Godavari-Krishna mangroves are a mangrove ecoregion of India's eastern coast.

Location and description
The ecoregion covers an area of , in discontinuous enclaves extending from the state of Odisha in the north to Tamil Nadu in the south. The largest mangrove community in the ecoregion lies in the delta of the Godavari and Krishna rivers in Andhra Pradesh; other mangrove communities can be found at Point Calimere in Tamil Nadu, Pulicat Lake in Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu, the Bhitarkanika Mangroves and Chilika Lake in Odisha, and the Pichavaram mangroves in Tamil Nadu.

Flora
The predominant mangroves are all of the species include Avicennia marina, Suaeda spp., Rhizophora spp., and Bruguiera spp. These have a thick canopy and an undergrowth of climbing plants and shrubs.

Fauna
Mangroves are an important coastal habitat for much wildlife such as the saltwater crocodiles who shelter among the roots and feed of the fish and other seafood in this warm mixture of fresh and seawater. These mangroves are home to  many insects, molluscs, shrimp, crabs and fish as well as 140 bird species, including the threatened lesser florican (Eupodotis indica), best known for the male birds' leaping breeding displays, and large communities of aquatic birds such as egrets, flamingoes (Phoenicoptreus spp.), spot-billed pelicans (Pelecanus philippensis), Eurasian spoonbills (Platalea leucorodia), and painted storks (Mycteria leucocephala).

Threats and preservation
Mangroves are vulnerable to coastal development including prawn farming, other agriculture that diverts fresh water from reaching the coast and seaside urbanisation. Most mangroves on the east coast of India have been cleared and while 14% of the ecoregion is under protection in Point Calimere Wildlife and Bird Sanctuary, Pulicat Lake Bird Sanctuary and the Bhitarkanika National Park even those areas are not secure.

Maryland Route 312

Maryland Route 312 (MD 312) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland.  The state highway runs  from MD 404 near Ridgely north to MD 313 at Baltimore Corner.  MD 312 traverses northwestern Caroline County, connecting Ridgely with Bridgetown.  The highway's first section was paved around Ridgely in the 1910s.  The highway was completed from MD 404 to Ridgely in the mid-1920s and from north of Ridgely to Baltimore Corner in the late 1920s.

Route description

MD 312 begins at a superstreet intersection with MD 404 (Shore Highway) between the towns of Hillsboro and Denton.  The roadway continues south as county-maintained Log Cabin Road.  MD 312 heads north as two-lane undivided Downes Station Road, passing through farmland until it curves to the east and meets MD 480 (Ridgely Road) on a tangent, joining that highway in a concurrency.  After MD 776 (Sunset Boulevard), the old alignment of MD 312, splits to the north, MD 312 and MD 480 enter the town of Ridgely and the highway's name changes to Sixth Street.  MD 312 leaves MD 480 by turning north onto Central Avenue, a two-lane street with very wide shoulders used for angle or perpendicular parking.  The state highway intersects an abandoned railroad grade owned by the Maryland Department of Transportation after meeting the other end of MD 776 (Railroad Avenue).  MD 312 leaves the town of Ridgely shortly after passing west of Ridgely Elementary School.  The state highway continues north through farmland as Oakland Road, passing west of Ridgely Airpark and through the hamlet of Oakland.  MD 312 intersects the eastern terminus of MD 304 (Bridgetown Road) in Bridgetown and passes through a forested area before reaching its northern terminus at MD 313 (Goldsboro Road) at Baltimore Corner.

History
The first section of MD 312 was paved through Ridgely and north about  toward Oakland by 1921.  That highway was extended to Oakland by 1923.  The state highway was constructed between MD 404 at Long's School House Corner and Ridgely in 1924 and 1925.  The remainder of the highway through Bridgetown to MD 313 at Baltimore Corner was constructed between 1926 and 1929.  MD 312 originally followed Sunset Boulevard and Railroad Avenue through Ridgely, rejoining the present route at Railroad Avenue's intersection with Central Avenue, which headed south as MD 480.  In 1953, Sixth Street was completed between Sunset Boulevard and Central Avenue.  MD 312 and MD 480, which was later extended west to Hillsboro, were assigned to the new road and MD 312 replaced MD 480 on Central Avenue.

Isis Highway

The Isis Highway is a state highway in southern Queensland, Australia. The highway is relatively short, and runs for  in a north-east / south-west direction between Bundaberg North and the Burnett Highway at Ban Ban Springs. The Isis Highway links the sugar producing Bundaberg and Fraser Coast regions with the cattle farming districts of the North Burnett.

The highway takes its name from the Isis River, which flows between Childers and Burrum Heads. The highway also passes through a significant amount of the former Isis Shire local government area, of which Childers was the administrative centre.

The Isis Highway is signed as State Route 3 between Bundaberg and Childers, and State Route 52 between Childers and Ban Ban Springs. The section between Bundaberg and Childers is a state-controlled regional road (number 19A) while that between Childers and Ban Ban Springs is a state-controlled strategic road (numbers 19B and 19C)

Route description
The road commences at a roundabout in Bundaberg North as State Route 3 and runs south as Hinkler Avenue, crossing the Burnett River on the Don Tallon Bridge. Most of this section is one lane in each direction. After  it passes through a five-way intersection, crossing Bourbong Street and turning south-west on Takalvan Street. This four lane road continues for a further  to the Airport Drive / Kendalls Road exit, where it becomes Childers Road, reverting to two lanes.

Childers Road passes to the west of Bundaberg Airport and through the outer suburbs of Kensington and Branyan before reaching the village of South Bingera. From there to Apple Tree Creek it passes through a mixture of farm land and forest, with sugar cane and other crops intermixed. Childers Road is  in length, making a cumulative distance to the Bruce Highway at Apple Tree Creek of .

From Apple Tree Creek the Isis Highway runs south-east concurrent with the Bruce Highway for  to the western outskirts of the town of Childers, where it turns south on Broadhurst Street as State Route 52. The street name is dropped as the road leaves the town, and the two lane road runs south-west and south through farm land and forest for  to Biggenden. From Biggenden a further  generally south-west through similar country leads to the Burnett Highway at Ban Ban Springs, making a total cumulative distance of .

Roads of Strategic Importance upgrade
The Roads of Strategic Importance initiative, last updated in March 2022, includes the following project for the Isis Highway.

Overtaking lanes
A project to construct overtaking lanes on the Isis Highway, at an estimated cost of $5 million, was completed in mid-2021.

Other upgrades
A project to improve safety in various locations, at a cost of $41.8 million, was expected to be completed in 2024.

Maryland Route 314

Maryland Route 314 (MD 314) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland.  The state highway runs  from the beginning of state maintenance along Sunset Avenue in Greensboro east to the Delaware state line in Whiteleysburg, where the highway continues east as Delaware Route 12 (DE 12).  What is now MD 314 was paved in Greensboro in the 1910s.  The remainder of the state highway to Whiteleysburg was constructed in the late 1920s.  MD 314 west of MD 480 was originally MD 315.  When MD 313 bypassed Greensboro in 1950, MD 314 was extended west to its present terminus.

Route description

MD 314 begins in the town of Greensboro at a former railroad crossing with an unused railroad grade owned by the Maryland Department of Transportation between Cosden Street and Granby Street.  Sunset Avenue continues west as a municipal street.  MD 314 heads east as two-lane undivided Sunset Avenue toward the center of town, where the highway intersects MD 480 (Main Street).  After crossing the Choptank River, the state highway meets MD 313 (Greensboro Road).  MD 314 continues east as Whiteleysburg Road through the eastern part of Greensboro before it leaves the town limits and passes through farmland.  Immediately before the Delaware state line in the hamlet of Whiteleysburg, Two State Road, which is unsigned MD 314A, splits to the east while the main road curves southeast.  At the state line, MD 314 becomes DE 12, which immediately turns northeast onto Whites Lane, soon becoming Burnite Mill Road and heading toward the town of Felton. Meanwhile, Whiteleysburg Road continues southeast toward the city of Harrington.

History

Sunset Avenue in Greensboro was paved by 1910.  A short stretch of Whiteleysburg Road was paved east of MD 313 by 1921.  Whiteleysburg Road, the original portion of MD 314, was completed in 1929.  Sunset Avenue west of Main Street was originally designated MD 315.  MD 313 followed the portion of Sunset Avenue between the present intersection with MD 313 and Main Street, then headed north on Main Street toward Goldsboro.  When the MD 313 bypass of Greensboro was completed in 1950, MD 314 was extended to its present western terminus, assuming the section of old MD 313 along Sunset Avenue and all of old MD 315.

Junction list

Auxiliary route

MD 314A is the unsigned designation for Two State Road, a  two-lane undivided spur from MD 314 to the Delaware state line at Whiteleysburg, where the spur quickly encounters DE 12.  MD 314A is the old alignment of MD 314 at the Delaware state line.  The present segment of MD 314 to the state line was originally MD 489, a designation that was removed by 1950.

NGC 246

NGC 246 (also known as the Skull Nebula or Caldwell 56) is a planetary nebula in the constellation Cetus. It is the first known planetary nebula to have a hierarchical triple star system at its center. The nebula and the stars associated with it are listed in several catalogs, as summarized by the SIMBAD database. NGC 246 was discovered by William Herschel in 1785.

The nebula is roughly 1,600 light-years away. NGC 246's central star is the 12th magnitude white dwarf HIP 3678 A.

NGC 246 is not to be confused with the Rosette Nebula (NGC 2337), which is also referred to as the "Skull." Among some amateur astronomers, NGC 246 is known as the "Pac-Man Nebula" because of the arrangement of its central stars and the surrounding star field.

Discovery and research 
In 1785, William Herschel discovered NGC 246.

In 2014, astronomers discovered a second companion to NGC 246's central star, HIP 3678 A, which has a comoving companion star called HIP 3678 B. The second companion star, a red dwarf known as HIP 3678 C, was discovered using the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope.

Yüksekova District

Yüksekova District is a district in the Hakkâri Province of Turkey. Its seat is the city Yüksekova. Its area is 2,547 km2 and had a population of 119,194 people in 2021. It borders Iran to the east, and Kurdistan Region of Iraq to the south.

History 

The district was historically an important trade route location due to its proximity to Iran.

From the 1810s to Sayfo in 1915, the entire population of around the Great Zab was East Syriac Assyrian whose main occupation was agriculture that consisted of wheat, barley, cotton and tea. The local Assyrian population were descendants of people who found refuge among Kurds from the Golden Horde in the early fifteenth century. 

Traveller Soane visisted the district in 1910, describing the area as 'one of the most inaccessible of the many sealed corners of this mountain country'. After the genocide, Assyrian villages were subsequently populated by Kurds.

In 1936, the name of the district was Turkified to .

NGC 1514

NGC 1514 is a planetary nebula in the zodiac constellation of Taurus, positioned to the north of the star Psi Tauri along the constellation border with Perseus. Distance to the nebula is 466 pc, according to GAIA DR2 data.

It was discovered by William Herschel on November 13, 1790, describing it as "a most singular phenomenon" and forcing him to rethink his ideas on the construction of the heavens. Up until this point Herschel was convinced that all nebulae consisted of masses of stars too remote to resolve, but now here was a single star "surrounded with a faintly luminous atmosphere". He concluded: "Our judgement I may venture to say, will be, that the nebulosity about the star is not of a starry nature."

This is a double-shell nebula that is described as, "a bright roundish amorphous PN" with a radius of around  and a faint halo that has a radius of . It consists of an outer shell, an inner shell, and bright blobs. The inner shell appears to be distorted, but was likely originally spherical. An alternative description is of "lumpy nebula composed of numerous small bubbles" with a somewhat filamentary structure in the outer shell. Infrared observations show a huge region of dust surrounds the planetary nebula, spanning . There is also a pair of rings forming what appears to be a diabolo-like structure, similar to those found in MyCn 18, but these are extremely faint and only visible in the mid-infrared, The combined mass of the gas and dust is estimated at  The ionized gas is moderately excited, and the electron temperature is estimated to be 15,000 K.

The nebula originated from a binary star system with the designation HD 281679 from the Henry Draper Catalogue. The bright, visible component is a giant star on the horizontal branch with a stellar classification of A0III, while the nebula-generating companion is now a hot, sub-luminous O-type star. The two were originally thought to have an orbital period on the order of 10 days, but observations of the system over years showed that their orbit is actually one of the longest known for any planetary nebula, with a period of about 9 years. Their orbital eccentricity is about 0.5.

Maryland Route 315

Maryland Route 315 (MD 315) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland.  The state highway runs  from MD 313 and MD 318 on the west side of Federalsburg east to MD 318 east of Federalsburg.  MD 315, which is the old routing of MD 318 through downtown Federalsburg, is maintained by the town within the town limits and on either side of the town limits by the Maryland State Highway Administration (MDSHA).  MD 315 follows what were sections of MD 319, MD 313, and MD 318, which were constructed between the late 1910s and mid-1920s.  The highway became fully part of MD 318 in the mid-1950s. The highway was designated as MD 315 in the early 1960s after MD 318 was moved to the Federalsburg Bypass.

Route description

MD 315 begins at an intersection with MD 313 and MD 318 on the west side of Federalsburg.  MD 313 heads north and south from the intersection as Federalsburg Highway.  MD 318 heads west as Preston Road and south concurrent with MD 313.  MD 315 heads east as two-lane undivided Bloomingdale Avenue through a commercial and industrial area.  At University Avenue, the state highway enters the town limits of Federalsburg and municipal maintenance begins.  After passing Denton Road, the old alignment of MD 313, MD 315's name changes to Main Street and the highway curves south into the central business district.  At Central Avenue, Main Street continues south while MD 315 turns east onto Central Avenue to cross Marshyhope Creek.  The state highway enters a residential area and intersects Reliance Avenue, the old alignment of MD 313 that heads south to the eastern MD 313-MD 318 intersection.  MD 315 turns southeast onto Liberty Road while Central Avenue continues straight and leads to MD 306.  After passing Bernard Avenue, the state highway leaves the town of Federalsburg and MDSHA maintenance resumes.  MD 315 crosses Tanyard Branch shortly before the intersection with Liberty Church Road, where MD 315 turns south for a very short distance to reach its eastern terminus at MD 318 (Bridgeville Road).

History
MD 315 is the old alignment of MD 318 through Federalsburg. The portion of MD 318 west of Federalsburg was originally MD 319 and the section of the highway between Denton Road and Reliance Avenue was part of MD 313. The Bloomingdale Avenue section of MD 319 west of the town limits was constructed as a state-aid road around 1919. The Liberty Road portion of the highway east of the town limits was built between 1924 and 1926.  MD 318 was extended west through Federalsburg and over the whole length of MD 319 in 1956. MD 315 was designated on the old alignment of MD 318 following the transfer of MD 318 to the Federalsburg Bypass in 1964.

Maryland Route 317 (MD 317) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland.  Known as Burrsville Road, the state highway runs  from MD 313 in Oil City east to the Delaware state line in Burrsville, where the highway continues east as Delaware Route 14 (DE 14).  MD 317 was constructed in the mid-1920s and realigned through Burrsville around 1960.

Route description

MD 317 begins at an intersection with MD 313 (Greensboro Road) in Oil City.  The state highway heads east as a two-lane undivided road through farmland.  MD 317 crosses Webber Branch before the old alignment, Ruritan Road, splits to the northeast as the highway approaches Burrsville.  The old alignment, now part of Knife Box Road, crosses MD 317 again shortly before the route comes to its eastern terminus at the Delaware state line.  The highway continues east as DE 14 (Vernon Road) toward the city of Harrington.

PENG

PENG! is a one-shot 72 page sports action comic written and drawn by Corey Lewis, published in 2005 by Oni Press.

Publication history
Like much of Lewis's work, it abounds with subtextual martial arts and video game references. It is the follow-up to Lewis's breakthrough work, the first volume of the Sharknife series. Produced immediately after Sharknife, PENG nevertheless displays a stylistic shift towards looser linework and more open page layout. This shift in style, combined with PENGs larger page dimensions, made it more readable for many critics, such as Mark Fossen: 
<blockquote>In [Sharknife's] tankōbon format, Lewis's art seemed cramped and confusing. There was too much linework in each small panel, and his frequent use of double-page spreads was a problem when the middle of the spread was swallowed by the spine of the book. In Pengs standard comic format, his art has room to breathe, and the splash pages can be enjoyed in their full glory. ... It's like a rich chocolate torte, that doesn't need to be made any more dense. Peng is a joy, and a completely different take on a new visual language for comics...</blockquote>PENG! was reprinted in 2020 as PENG! Action Sports Adventures!  The new edition contains the original story along with two additional stories, including Freeze, a previously self-published one-shot.

Plot
PENG contains the story of The Foot Knux, a young team of Advanced Kickball players and their battle to win the championship. PENG opens just before the semi-final match of the tourney as the final four teams prepare to kick-it-out for the cup.

Characters and teams
 The Foot Knux - "The season's rookie favorite"
 The Anologgers - "Formed by various music artists"
 The Aurora Skeddos - "Protectors of kickbal purity"
 The Dolpheets - "The best Canadian team ever"

Shared universe in PENG!
PENG is set in the same continuity as Lewis's signature work, Sharknife, and the main character of Peng, Rocky Hallelujah, is the younger brother of the titular character of that work. Rocky also appear in the second volume, Sharknife Double Z. So far, there is no storyline connections between the two works. Scott Pilgrim also briefly appears as a substitute member of The Dolpheets.

Sid Meier's Antietam!

Sid Meier's Antietam! is a real-time computer wargame designed by Sid Meier, the co-founder of Firaxis Games, then released in December 1999. It is the sequel to the 1997 Sid Meier's Gettysburg!.

Gameplay
The game allows the player to control either the Confederate or Union troops during the Battle of Antietam of the American Civil War. It can be played as a single scenario, or as a campaign of linked scenarios, either recounting the original history or exploring alternate possibilities.

Development
The game was not released through retail stores. The staff of Computer Gaming World summarized it as "a grand experiment by Firaxis to test the popularity of online-only distribution for commercial releases."

Reception

Antietam! received "favorable" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.

The game was a runner-up for Computer Games Strategy Plus 1999 "Wargame of the Year" award. The staff wrote, "Another battle, another victory for this thoroughly entertaining wargame 'for the masses.'" Conversely, the staff of Computer Gaming World named it the best wargame game of 1999. They wrote, "Antietam is the epitome of a Sid Meier design: intensely absorbing and wickedly punishing."
