Virginia Smart Road
The Virginia Smart Road, also known as simply the Smart Road or Smart Highway, is a short, limited-access road in Montgomery County, Virginia, used for the testing of pavement technologies and as a proving ground for new transportation technologies. The road is not open to the public. The Smart Road is currently a 2.2-mile (3.5 km) stretch of road with turn-around loops at either end.  Eventually, the road will be extended to a total of 5.7 miles (9.2 km), directly connecting U.S. Route 460 in Blacksburg to Interstate 81 with an interchange near mile marker 121; however, there is yet to be a set time frame for completion.

She is a professor of Government at Dartmouth College, where she was also Cheheyl Professor and director of the Dartmouth Center for the Advancement of Learning at Dartmouth College from 2015 until 2018. She studies the relationship between political institutions and gender equality, and has written about the United Nations Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, women's protests in Chile, gender quota laws, and the Equal Rights Amendment.

Women in government
In many countries, women have been underrepresented in the government and different institutions. As of 2019, women were still underrepresented in most countries, but were increasingly being elected to be heads of state and government.

As of October 2019, the global participation rate of women in national-level parliaments was 24.5%. In 2013, women accounted for 8% of all national leaders and 2% of all presidential posts. Furthermore, 75% of all female prime ministers and presidents took office in the two decades through to 2016.

Women may face a number of challenges that affect their ability to participate in political life and become political leaders. Several countries explored measures that could increase women's participation in government at all levels, from the local to the national and international. Political parties advocating for women can be categorized as either gender egalitarian or gender essentialist.

It occurs in fast-flowing rivers and streams with rock substrates.  This species can reach a length of 50 centimetres (20 in) TL.  It is of minor importance to local commercial fisheries.

Species revision in 2014 based on phylogenetic study has moved the genus of this fish from Barbodes to Neolissochilus.
