Renault Juvaquatre
The Renault Juvaquatre is a sma family caur / compact caur automobile produced bi the French manufacturer Renault atween 1937 an 1953. It wis available in baith sedan an station wagon body styles; later models o the station wagon (frae 1956 on) wur kent as the Renault Dauphinoise.
The Juvaquatre wis oreeginally conceived in 1936 bi Louis Renault as a sma, affordable caur designed tae fit in the Renault range belaw the existin mair upmarket models sic as the Primaquatre or Celtaquatre. The company wis focused on creatin new customers who wad no itherwise buy Renaults, an on appealin tae the new cless o lawer-income consumer creatit bi changin labor conditions an the rise o the Popular Front in Fraunce in the 1930s (which ironically haed adversely affectit Renault considerably). The Juvaquatre wis hivily inspired bi the German Opel Olympia, a caur which Louis Renault haed been impressed bi durin a 1935 veesit tae Berlin (consequently the Juvaquatre, parteecularly early models, bore a strang resemblance tae the Olympia). The Juvaquatre wis showcased at the 1937 Paris Motor Show an put on sale the follaein year. A van version wis developt suin efterwards for commercial usage an wis uised extensively bi La Poste, while public demand for fower-door caurs (an the introduction o affordable 4-door models frae French rivals Peugeot an Simca) resultit in a 4-door Juvaquatre in 1939. A station wagon model based on the van wis an aa launched.
The rate o Juvaquatre production decreased considerably wi the onset o Warld War II, but remained hie compared tae ither European marques who haed switched ower amaist entirely tae production o military equipment. Efter Fraunce wis taken ower bi Nazi Germany, Juvaquatre production slowed tae a trickle, wi ae a few hunder caurs biggit 1941. This is the end o offeecial production (till efter the war) but a vera sma series wis still turned oot till 1942, an in 1943, 1944, an 1945, the occasional caur wis assembled for the occupation forces or French govrenment.
Juvaquatre production restartit in 1946, wi Renault nou awned an controlled bi the French govrenment, assembly o the saloon finally endin in 1955. Housomeivver the station wagon remained in production as the Renault Dauphinoise till 1960, equipt wi the ingine frae the Renault Dauphine.

In Semitic, the letter representit (an  in foreign wirds), in Greek hê acame  epsilon wi the value. Etruscans an Romans follaeed this uisage. Altho Middlin Inglis spellin uised 'e' tae represent lang an short, the Great Vowel Shift chynged lang (as in 'me' or 'bee') tae  while short  (as in 'met' or 'bed') remains a mid vowel.

While some pairts o the ceety which still suffer frae the issues which plagued the whole o this ceety juist a few years ago, Bat Yam oweraw haes stairtit tae lose its image o the "poor suburb", thanks tae lairge investments in eddication, cultur an the appearance o the ceety. In 2008 the Bat-Yam Internaitional Biennale o Landscape Urbanism, which is devotit tae re-examinin urban spaces throu airt an airchitectur, wis held for the first time. In 2010 the seicont Biennale, "Timing" teuk place, which featurt site-specific installations frae designers an architects frae aroond the warld.
Bus service
Bat Yam is served bi bus anerlie.
Dan is the biggest bus company in the aurie. It operates frequent service tae various neighborhuids o Tel Aviv, an an' a' connects Bat Yam tae Holon, Rishon LeZion, Ramat Gan, Giv'atayim, Bnei Brak, Tel HaShomer an Bar Ilan University.
Egged connects Bat Yam tae various neighborhuids o Holon an Rishon LeZion, an an' a' operates service tae Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Ramla, Ben Gurion Internaitional Airport (pairt-time service) an intermediate communities.
In the sooth o the ceety thare is a big bus terminal o "Dan" company. Thare are an aa several Taxi stations aroond the ceety.
Rail transport
The Bat Yam-Yoseftal Railway Station wis opened in 2011 as pairt o the new Tel Aviv – Rishon LeZion Wast line. Bat Yam will an aa be the terminus for the reid line o the Tel Aviv Licht Rail.
Sport
The ceety's major fitbaa club, Maccabi Ironi Bat Yam, currently play in Liga Leumit, the third level o Israeli fitbaa. The club wis formed bi a 2004 merger o Hapoel Bat Yam (which haed spent several saisons in the seicont diveesion in the 1990s) an Maccabi Bat Yam.
Bat Yam´s Al Gal beach is regardit tae be ane o the best surfin spots in the region, haein fairly consistent surf conditions, especially durin the simmer months.
Twin touns - Sister ceeties
Bat Yam is twinned wi:
Covalent bond
Covalent bonds are chemical bonds atween twa non-metal atoms. Aen exemple is watter, whaur hydrogen (H) an oxygen (O) bond thegither tae mak (H2O). Sin they are baith non-metals—that need tae gain electrons—they hae tae share, sicweys thair ooter shells cross over in order tae hae a full ooter shell. A full ooter shell haes aicht electrons. The electrons in this ooter shell are cawed valence electrons.
Abdel Fattah el-Sisi
Abdel Fattah Saeed Hussein Khalil el-Sisi (عبد الفتاح سعيد حسين خليل السيسي ‘Abd al-Fattāḥ Sa‘īd Ḥusayn Khalīl as-Sīsī, ; born 19 November 1954) is the saxt an current Preses o Egyp.
Covalent bond
For exemple, gin an atom contained aicht tot electrons, the first twa wad orbit verra close tae the nucleus, the neist 6 wad orbit a wee faurer awa. Ilka atom faut a "full" ooter shell. That is tae say, it faut the nummer o electrons in the ootmaist layer tae be as heich as they cannin be. Sin maist atoms' ooter shells cannin support up tae aicht electrons, this is the nummer o electrons maist atoms faut in thair ooter shell. In this exemple, the atom had aicht total electrons, an sax in the ooter shell. Acause thare are fewer as aicht electrons in the ooter shell, the atom will faut tae "fill" the pairts for twa electrons wi electrons borraed frae anither atom. Whan an atom "borraes" electrons wi anither atom, a covalent bond is creatit.
Types o Covalent bond Covalent bonds cannin be spelt intae twa groups. Semple an "Giant". Awtho they are baith alike, thare are some raither muckle distinguishing factors. For exemple, "Giant" Covalent bonds hae relatively heich melting an boiling points, whaurby Semple Covalent bonds hae a relatively laich melting an boiling point. This is acause o the inter-molecular forces o attraction. Wi "Giant" Covalent bonds, the bonds atween layers are verra strang, Diamond is ane exemple o "Giant" Covalent bond o carbon. Houaniver, wi a semple Covalent bond, the bonds atween the atoms hae a strang inter-molecular bond, but thare are no bonds atween the molecules, which is why it haes a relatively low melting an boiling point.
Covalent bonds are less strang as ionic bonds, an hae a lower melting point. They are an aw kent tae be poor conductors o electricity an heat (except silicates an carbides).
Imatra
Imatra is a toun an municipality in eastren Finland, foondit in 1948 aroond three industrial dounsets near the Finnish–Roushie border. In the course o the last 50 years, this amorphous group o dounsets haes grown intae a modren industrial toun dominatit bi Lake Saimaa, the Vuoksi River an the border. It gained its municipal chairter in 1971.
On the ither side o the border, 7 km awa frae the centre o Imatra, lees the Roushie towun o Svetogorsk. Saunt Petersburg is situatit 210 km tae the sootheast, Finland's caipital Helsinki is 230 km away an Lappeenranta, the nearest Finnish toun, is 37 km awa. Imatra belangs tae the historic province o Soothren Finland an the region o Sooth Karelie.
An Airt Nouveau or Jugend style castle, currently kent as Imatran Valtionhotelli, wis biggit near the rapids in 1903 as a hotel for tourists frae the Roushie Imperial caipital Saunt Petersburg.

The ceety is associatit wi Davit Bek, an 18t century Armenian leader whose wars against the Turkis an Persian Muslim invaders wur focht aroond Syunik. His leeberation campaign wi a haundful o brave men began in 1722, an attractit thoosans o patriots who leeberatit Syunik. Near tae Kapan is the castle in which Bek dee'd in 1728.
Kapan, as a ceety, formit in the 19t century frae the merger o several veelages.
Economy
Wi a population o aroond 45,500, Kapan is strugglin tae cope wi the realities o post-Nagorno-Karabakh War an post-Soviet society. Housomeivver, thare are signs o growt an development. Kapan is primarily a minin ceety, hence its Persie name o the Qajar time معدن (Ma'dan, meanin "mine"). Kapan's industry is dependent on the newly privatisit polymetallic deposit, tho additional operations hae developit includin minin support services, commercial scale animal husbandry, an an expandin retail sector. The furniture an textile industries hae grown in recent years.
Kapan wis an remains a centre o production o mony non-ferrous metals. Commercial development o the local deposits began in 1890. Armenie entrepreneurs an French minin ingineers obtained concessions tae the copper mines an a copper-ore processin plant wis biggit in the ceety.
