Dumitru Iuca

Dumitru Iuca (March 7, 1882–November 27, 1940) was a Romanian politician. Born in Giurgiu, he studied law in university before practicing as a lawyer with the Vlașca County bar. Entering the National Liberal Party (PNL), Iuca was named prefect of Vlașca in 1914, and also served as mayor of his hometown. In 1919, he was elected to the Assembly of Deputies. In the 1930s, he formed part of a relatively younger faction within the PNL, alongside Gheorghe Tătărescu, Victor Iamandi, Ion Inculeț, Richard Franasovici and Valer Pop. This clashed with the older wing led by Dinu Brătianu and was eventually driven to join the camarilla surrounding King Carol II. Iuca was deputy state secretary in the Interior Ministry from November 1933 to August 1936. This period was marked by violent clashes between the government and the Iron Guard, culminating with the latter's assassination of Prime Minister Ion G. Duca at the end of 1933 and the repression that followed. Iuca was part of the ministerial apparatus tasked with maintaining order. In August 1936, in a cabinet led by Tătărescu, he was promoted to Interior Minister, serving until the following February. As minister, Iuca oversaw measures to consolidate police forces in order to better face the Guardist threat. However, despite their breach of a provision in the 1923 Constitution that barred unauthorized service in foreign armies, he helped facilitate the funerals of Ion Moța and Vasile Marin, arranging for a special funeral train outside the normal schedule. Moreover, he was obliged to deal with separatism by Hungarian, Bulgarian, Ukrainian and Russian minorities. After Tătărescu himself took over the ministry, Iuca served as state secretary with ministerial rank but without portfolio. He resigned from this post in early April. He died in Bucharest in November 1940, during the National Legionary State.

Land reclamation in Singapore

The reclamation of land from surrounding waters is used in Singapore to expand the city-state’s limited area of usable, natural land. Land reclamation is the process of creating new land by building outwards into local bodies of water. There are several different methods of reclaiming land, but the most basic approach involves the importation and dumping of large amounts of heavy rock and/or cement into the desired waters, creating a firm base onto which clay and dirt are added until the anticipated new land height is reached. Draining submerged wetlands or similar biomes in order to recover land also classifies as land reclamation. Similarly useful to the relatively small, coastal territories of Hong Kong and Macau, the process of land reclamation allows for increased development and urbanization. Each of these coastal territories is restrained by its geographical boundaries, and is thus traditionally limited by the ocean’s reach. The use of land reclamation allows these territories to expand outwards by recovering land from the sea. Land reclamation has been used in Singapore since the early 19th century, extensively so in this last half-century in response to the city-state’s rapid economic growth. At just 719 square kilometers, the entire country of Singapore is smaller than New York City., As such, the Singaporean government has found it necessary to reclaim land. Land reclamation projects have been used to supplement the city-state’s available commercial, residential, industrial, and governmental properties (the last of which entails military/official buildings). Land reclamation in Singapore also allows for the preservation of local historic and cultural communities, as the pressure for new land is lessened by the reclamation of land from the sea. In 1960, Singapore was home to less than two million people; that number had more than doubled by 2008, to almost four and a half million people. To keep up with such an increase in population (as well as a concurrent surge in the country’s economy and industrialization efforts), Singapore has increased its land mass by 22% since the city-state’s independence in 1965, with land continuously being set aside for future use., Though Singapore’s native population is no longer increasing as rapidly as it was in the mid-twentieth century, foreigners continue to flood into the city as the economy thrives, resulting in a continued investment in land reclamation by the Singapore government., The government thus plans to expand the city-state by an additional 7-8% by 2030.

Norwegian County Road 956

County Road 956 (Norwegian: Fylkesvei 956) is a 15.9-kilometer (9.9 mi) road in the municipality of Sortland in Nordland County, Norway. It starts in Vik, where it branches off to the north from County Road 820 and then follows the west side of Sortland Sound to Bremnes. A local road also branches off south of Bremnes and continues to Holm at the end of a small peninsula; together with this stretch, the combined road length is 19.9 kilometers (12.4 mi). The road is mostly flat, with its highest point at an elevation of about 30 meters (98 ft) at Nevernes. Originally small roads were built between the farms in the area, like many other places in Vesterålen. The interconnecting road between the farms and around Gåsfjord was built in 1930. Later the road was assigned the status of a county road. The road to Holm was also classified as a county road, but it was downgraded to a municipal road in the 1980s. The road to Bremnes was asphalted in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The road to Holm is still paved with gravel. The road along the south side of Gåsfjord was formerly often closed in the winter due to snow. In the early 1990s the road was widened and some embankments were built, eliminating the problem with the snow. County Road 956 has some heavy traffic because of waste transportation to the dump run by the waste company Reno-Vest in Bremnes.

KOI8-RU

KOI8-RU is an 8-bit character encoding, designed to cover Russian, Ukrainian, and Belarusian which use a Cyrillic alphabet. It is based on KOI8-R, which covers Russian and Bulgarian, but replaces eight graphic characters with five Ukrainian and Belarusian letters Ґ, Є, І, Ї, and Ў in both upper case and lower case. In IBM, KOI8-U is assigned code page 1167. KOI8 remains much more commonly used than ISO 8859-5, which never really caught on. Another common Cyrillic character encoding is Windows-1251. In the future, both may eventually give way to Unicode. KOI8 stands for Kod Obmena Informatsiey, 8 bit (Russian: Код Обмена Информацией, 8 бит) which means "Code for Information Exchange, 8 bit". The KOI8 character sets have the property that the Russian Cyrillic letters are in pseudo-Roman order rather than the natural Cyrillic alphabetical order as in ISO 8859-5. Although this may seem unnatural, it has the useful property that if the eighth bit is stripped, the text can still be read (or at least deciphered) in case-reversed transliteration on an ordinary ASCII terminal. For instance, "Русский Текст" in KOI8-RU becomes rUSSKIJ tEKST ("Russian Text") if the 8th bit is stripped.
