Ulpia Severina
Ulpia Severina (fl. 3rd century) was a Roman Empress, the wife of the emperor Aurelian. There is evidence that she reigned on her own for some period of time after Aurelian's death in 275, which would make her the only  woman to have ruled over the classical Roman Empire. Very little is known about her, as few sources mention her existence. Almost everything known about her, including her name, is gathered from coins and inscriptions.
Life
Nothing certain is known about Ulpia Severina before her marriage to Aurelian. It haes been suggested that she was the dochter ofUlpius Crinitus, a figure appearing in the Historia Augusta. This Ulpius is said tae hae been a stryndant o the line o Trajan an tae hae supportit an adoptit Aurelian. Housomeivver, the Historia Augusta is notoriously unreliable, an the story, an aiblins Ulpius hissel, mey hae been inventit bi propagandists treein tae connect Aurelian wi the "Guid Emperor" Trajan. Some scholars believe that Ulpia Severina wis frae Dacie, whaur the nomen Ulpius wis common due tae the influence o Trajan (Marcus Ulpius Traianus).
At any rate, Ulpia Severina marriet Aurelian probably afore he became emperor in 270. It is kent they haed a dochter. Accordin tae coinage depictin her, Ulpia gained the title Augusta in the hairst o 274, tho it is possible she haed the title even afore that. She receivit the titles o Pia ("pious") an mater castrorum et senatus et patriae ("mither o the barracks (airmies), senate, an kintra").
Thare is considerable numismatic evidence for Ulpia Severina rulin in her awn richt atween the daith o Aurelian an the election o Marcus Claudius Tacitus. Sources mention a interregnum atween Aurelian an Tacitus, an some o Ulpia's coins appear tae hae been mintit efter Aurelian's daith. As such she mey hae been the anerly wumman tae rule ower the whole Roman Empire in her awn pouer.

Inner Lunnon
Inner Lunnon (Inner London) is the name for the group o Lunnon burghs which form the interior pairt o Greater Lunnon and are surroondit bi Ooter Lunnon. Wi its oreegins in the Bills o mortality, it became fixed as a aurie for statistics in 1847 an wis uised as a aurie o local govrenment frae 1855 tae 1965. It nou haes twa common definitions. The first is the statutory definition delineatit in the Lunnon Govrenment Act 1963, comin intae force on 1 Apryle 1965, comprisin twal Inner Lunnon burghs an amaist identical tae the Coonty o Lunnon that wis abolished at the same time. The seicont is the current definition uised bi the Office for National Statistics comprisin eleiven o the statutory Inner Lunnon burghs an twa o the statutory Ooter Lunnon burghs, an the Ceety o Lunnon.
Inner Lunnon is smawer than Ooter Lunnon baith in terms o population an aurie, but the density o population is mair nor double that o Ooter Lunnon. Inner Lunnon is offeecially the richest aurie in Europe wi the maist expensive street in Europe, GDP per caipita is nearly US$80,000 while the UK GDP per capita is nearly US$46,000. Mony o the warld's richest fowk live in Inner London, but thare is widespread poverty an aw. Central Lunnon is locatit at the core o Inner Lunnon.
Backgrund
The aurie that is nou Inner Lunnon wis defined bi the Registrar General as a collection o pairishes cried "Lunnon" an appeared in the 1851 Census. At the time the metropolitan aurie—commonly cried the Metropolis—haed its oreegins in the aurie o the Bills o mortality that haed expandit frae the tiny Ceety o Lunnon intae three surroondin coonties ower the previous several hunder years. The aurie become fixed in 1847 wi the addeetion o Lewisham Poor Law Union an the pairish o Hampstead. In 1855 the Registrar General aurie, wi the addeetion o Penge, wis uised tae define the destrict o the Metropolitan Board of Works. The Metropolis wis describit as Inner Lunnon frae the 1881 Census an aw. In 1889 this aurie became the Coonty o Lunnon. The aurie wis adjustit in 1900 when Penge wis transferred tae Kent an South Hornsey wis gained frae Middlesex.
London Government Act 1963
The "Inner Lunnon burghs" wur defined bi the Lunnon Govrenment Act 1963. The Inner Lunnon burghs occupee'd the same aurie as the Coonty o Lunnon that wis abolished as they wur creatit. North Woolwich wis a anomaly as it wis pairt o the Coonty o Lunnon, but became pairt o a Ooter Lunnon burgh.
The main difference atween Inner an Ooter Lunnon burghs atween 1965 an 1990 wis that the cooncils o the inner burghs wur no local eddication authorities an thare wis a single Inner Lunnon Education Authority for the aurie, includin the Ceety o Lunnon. The inner burgh cooncils became local eddication authorities on 1 Apryle 1990.
The statutory definition is uised as pairt o the grant dounset uised tae finance local govrenment. Newham Lunnon Burgh Cooncil campaigns for recognition as an Inner Lunnon burgh cooncil for central govrenment grants, as this wad hae financial benefits for the burgh. It is no currently considered a Inner Lunnon burgh as, wi the exception o North Woolwich, it did no fuirm pairt o the Coonty o Lunnon.
The statutory Inner Lunnon burghs are:
The Ceety o Lunnon wis no designatit as a Inner Lunnon burgh, but the Corporation o Lunnon is usually classed as an inner Lunnon local authority.
Statistics
The Office for National Statistics an Eurostat define Inner Lunnon differently, explicitly includin the Ceety o Lunnon, addin Haringey an Newham, but excludin Greenwich. The land aurie is 319 km2 (123 sq. miles) an the population in 2011 wis 3,231,901.
Figurs afore 1971 hae been reconstructit bi the Office for National Statistics based on past censuses in order tae fit the 2001 limits. Figurs frae 1981 onwaird are ONS midyear estimates (revisit as o 2010).
Efter centuries o increase, the population o Inner Lunnon reached a peak o 4,998,237 in 1911. The population o Inner Lunnon then began a steady decline as the population continued tae increase in Ooter Lunnon. Bi 1951 the population o Greater Lunnon as a whole wis in decline an Inner Lunnon reached its nadir in 1981 wi a population o 2,550,100. Subsequently, the trend reversed an the population o Inner Lunnon recovered tae 3,231,901 in 2011, some 1,766,336 short o the 1911 peak.
Strategic plannin
For the purposes o the Lunnon Plan plannin document producit bi the Mayor o Lunnon, Inner Lunnon consists o the Ceety o Lunnon, aw the statutory Inner Lunnon burghs an Newham.
Ither definitions
The aurie covered bi the Lunnon postal destrict is sometimes referred tae as 'Inner London'. Housomeivver it is no coterminous wi ither definitions o Inner Lunnon as its aurie is somewha lairger an covers 624 km2 (241 sq. miles). The soothren pairt o the London Borough of Lewisham as well as a smaw pairt o the Royal Borough of Greenwich faw ootside its boondars whilst 44 o its 119 destricts are in Ooter Lunnon an its irregular shape stretches tae the Greater Lunnon boondar at Mill Hill an Scratch Wood an ayont it at Sewardstone.
Frae 1990 tae 2000 Lunnon uised twa separate telephone dialling codes wi ane code designated for Inner Lunnon, housomeivver the aurie covered bi this code wis widely different frae aw o the abuin definitions an maist o Greater Lunnon is nou covered bi a single 020 diallin code.
Economy
Thare are approximately 200,000 businesses wi aroond 2,000,000 employees in Inner Lunnon. 56% o aw private sector jobs in Greater Lunnon are locatit in Inner Lunnon. Thare is significant commutin o wirkers frae Ooter Lunnon an frae ootside Greater Lunnon. Hintle o the commercial activity is focused on Central Lunnon an Canary Wharf. 10% o public sector employment is focussed on Wastmeenster aroond the Govrenment o the Unitit Kinrick.
Nokia, Finland

History
The oreegin o the name "Nokia" is obscure. In modren Finnish, noki means soot an nokia is its inflected plural, although this form o the wird is rarely if iver uised. The maist common theory claims the name actually oreeginates frae the archaic Finnish wird nois (pl. nokia) or nokinäätä ("soot marten"), meanin sable. Efter sable wis huntit tae extinction in Finland, the wird wis applied tae ony daurk-coatit fur animal, such as the marten, which ar foond in the aurie tae this day. The sable is enshrined on the Nokia coat o airms. Housomeivver, later research haes appeared tae indicate that sables niver inhabitit Finland in the first place, an the name nois mey actually refer tae the beaver.
Nokia wis the settin o ane o the lairgest battles in the Club War, a 1596 peasant uprisin against Swadish feudal lords. The peasants, armed wi clubs, teuk up residence in Nokia Manor an wan several skirmishes against the feudal cavalry, but wur decisively defeatit bi Klaus Fleming on Januar 1–2, 1597. Thoosans o clubmen wur slain an their leader Jaakko Ilkka, who haed fled, wis captured a few weeks later an executit. The Club War wis the last major peasant revolt in Finland, an it permanently consolidatit the hauld o the naition state. Muckle later, in the Finnish Ceevil War (1918), Nokia (alang wi neighborin Tampere) wis a Socialist stranghauld an saw some combat.

Staraya Ladoga
Staraya Ladoga (Ста́рая Ла́дога), Vanha Laatokka or the Aldeigjuborg o Norse sagas, is a veelage (selo) in the Volkhovsky Destrict o Leningrad Oblast, Roushie, locatit on the Volkhov River near Lake Ladoga, 8 km north o the toun o Volkhov. The veelage uised tae be a prosperous tradin ootpost in the 8t an 9t centuries. A multi-ethnic dounset, it wis dominatit bi Scandinavies who wur cried bi the name o Rus an for that raison is sometimes cried the first caipital o Roushie.
Oreegin an name
Dendrochronology suggests that Ladoga wis foondit in 753. Till 950, it wis ane o the maist important tradin ports o Eastren Europe. Merchant vessels sailed frae the Baltic Sea through Ladoga tae Veliky Novgorod an then tae Constantinople or the Caspian Sea. This route is ken as the Trade Route frae the Varangians tae the Greeks. An alternative wey led doun the Volga River alang the Volga trade route tae the Khazar caipital o Atil, an then tae the soothren shores o the Caspian Sea, aw the wey tae Baghdad. Tellingly, the auldest Arabie Middle Age coin in Europe wis unearthed in Ladoga.
Auld (staraya means "auld") Ladoga's inhabitants wur Norsemen, Finns, an Slavs, hence different names for the ceety. The oreeginal Finnish name, Alode-joki (i.e., "lowland river"), wis rendered as "Aldeigja" in Norse leid an as "Ladoga" (Ладога) in Auld East Slavic.
Ladoga unner Rurik an Rurikids
Accordin tae the Hypatian Codex, the legendary Varangian leader Rurik arrivit at Ladoga in 862 an made it his caipital. Rurik's successors later muivit tae Novgorod an then tae Kiev, thus layin foondations for the pouerful state o Kievan Rus. Thare are several huge kurgans, or ryal funerary barraes, at the ootskirts o Ladoga. Ane o them is said tae be Rurik's grave, an anither ane—that o his successor Oleg. The Heimskringla an ither Norse sources mention that in the late 990s Eiríkr Hákonarson o Norawa raidit the coast an set the toun ablaze. Ladoga wis the maist important tradin center in Eastren Europe frae aboot 800 tae 900 CE, an it is estimatit that atween 90 tae 95% o aw Arab dirhams foond in Swaden passed through Ladoga.
Ladoga's next mention in chronicles is datit tae 1019, when Ingigerd o Swaden marriet Yaroslav o Novgorod. Unner the terms o their marriage dounset, Yaroslav cedit Ladoga tae his wife, who appointit her faither's cousin, the Swadish earl Ragnvald Ulfsson, tae rule the toun. This information is confirmit bi sagas an airchaeological evidence, which suggests that Ladoga gradually evolvit intae a primarily Varangian dounset. At least twa Swadish kings spent their youths in Ladoga, king Stenkil an Inge I, an possibly king Anund Gårdske an aw.
In the 12t an 13t centuries, Ladoga functioned as a trade ootpost o the pouerful Novgorod Republic. Later its trade significance declinit an maist o the population engagit in fishin in 15t century. Efter new fortresses such as Oreshek an Korela wur constructit in 14t century further tae the wast o Ladoga the toun's militar significance decreased an aw. Ladoga belangit tae the Vodskaya pyatina o the republic an contained 84 hamesteids in 15t century; maist o the laund belangit tae the kirk. The Novgorodians built there a citadel wi five touers an several kirks. The fortress wis rebuilt at the turn o the 15t an 16t centuries, while the mid-12t-century kirks o St. George an o Mary's Assumption staund in aw their oreeginal glory. Inside St. George's, some magnificent 12t-century frescoes are still visible.
The reconstruction o pairt Staraya Ladoga's fortress is wis completit in 2010.
Sichts an landmarks
The hert o Staraya Ladoga is an auld fortress whaur the Yelena River flows intae the Volkhov River. In earlier times, it wis a strategic steid acause it wis the anerlie possible harbour for sea-vessels that coud no navigate through the Volkhov River.
