Talk:Five laws of library science

rules 2 and 3

 * Can anyone explain what the heck rules 2 and 3 mean? --Dante Alighieri | Talk 18:40, Jun 8, 2005 (UTC)

My take on those two is as folows:

"Every reader his or her book."

This seems to me to point out that anyone can benefit from library services, and that it is up to the librarian to make sure that anyone seeking service from a library receives that service. Alternately, it could be pointing out that for anyone seeking help (especifically important to Reference services) there is a resource that will help them.

"Every book its reader."

This one seems a little easier to explain: I would say that it points out that, no matter what the librarian thinks of a particular book (or resource), that book may prove to be useful to a borrower. This can be problematic to implement: Ideally, libraries would/should try to collect everything, and be able to keep it forever. However, no library has the resources to do so: There are space issues, preservation issues, and (perhaps most importantly) funding issues, that prevent libraries from doing so.

c. (--Hermitcl 10:15, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC))

 * So... the basic point is: "At least one book for every reader; at least one reader for every book"? --Dante Alighieri | Talk 18:42, Jun 13, 2005 (UTC)

Well, it isn't about quantity, and certainly not just one book. I would interpret rule 2 to mean that we (librarians) shouldn't expect every reader to like or want the same materials, that readers are unique and have particular tastes or requirements, and we should look for the right materials to fit that particular person. I would interpret rule 3 the same way it is described above, meaning especially that when a librarian is selecting materials, to think of the broadest possible group of readers, and to gauge the likelihood, for example, that the reader a particular book seems to be written for will come into your library. If that seems like a roundabout way of deciding, I would add that I find myself thinking just this thought when I read reviews of books to decide which ones to spend money on. The longer I work as a librarian (now 12 years), the more easily I can imagine a wide variety of readers. It makes it very hard to stick to the budget, especially when you have seen what people really read, which is a very wide range of literature! Rica siskind (talk) 17:41, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Grammar
1. Books for use.

2. For every reader a book. vijayaraj

The text of the five laws has been edited to reflect what is stated in Rubin (2016). A request for copy editing message has been added to the top of the page so that another editor may double-check and verify the page's grammar for accuracy.

The text of the five laws has been edited to reflect what was stated in Ranganathan's original.

- Msoul13 (talk) 19:05, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

A statement by Ranganathan

 * I read a book that Ranganathan wrote a long time ago about librarianship when he had invented only 4 laws; he wrote about "making an Ulster of the fifth law - the Law of Parsimony". Anthony Appleyard (talk) 04:30, 30 July 2015 (UTC)

Ranganathan discusses the Law of Parsimony in his 1972 paper Impact of Growth in the Universe of Subjects on Classification. However, this source does not indicate a clear connection between this law and the Five Laws of Library Science. Perhaps another editor can provide some clarification? Msoul13 (talk) 19:55, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
 * I found another mention of this in Ranganathan's 1957 paper "Library Science and Scientific Method." The information has been added to the article. Msoul13 (talk) 19:04, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

Pronouns & the Second Law
In the book The Five Laws of Library Science, Ranganathan uses the pronouns "his" and "her" in defining and discussing the Second Law. Retaining these in the text of the article ensures that Ranganathan's theory is reproduced accurately. As such, I have been reverting edits that attempt to change Ranganathan's chosen pronouns.

Winning isn't everything; it's the only thing

"Winning isn’t everything; it's the only thing" is a well-known quotation in sports. It is attributed to UCLA Bruins football coach Henry Russell ("Red") Sanders. He is on record with at least two different versions of the quotation during his coaching career. Sanders is reputed to have used this quote even as far back as the 1930s.

Red Sanders
In 1950, at a Cal Poly San Luis Obispo physical education workshop, Sanders told his group: "Men, I'll be honest. Winning isn't everything", then following a long pause, "Men, it's the only thing!" In a three-part article, December 7, 1953, on Red Sanders, by Bud Furillo of the Los Angeles Herald and Express, the phrase is quoted in the sub head. Furillo said in his unpublished memoirs Sanders first made the statement to him after UCLA's loss to USC in 1949. In 1955, in a Sports Illustrated article preceding the 1956 Rose Bowl, he was quoted as saying "Sure, winning isn't every thing; it's the only thing."

While at UCLA, another famous quote was attributed to Sanders regarding the UCLA–USC rivalry, "Beating 'SC is not a matter of life or death, it's more important than that." A form of this quote was later widely attributed to Bill Shankly, Liverpool FC coach from a 1981 television interview.

Others
The phrase is quoted in the 1953 film Trouble Along the Way by Sherry Jackson's character, Carol Williams. Screenwriter Melville Shavelson heard it from his agent, who also happened to represent Red Sanders, which is how it got into the script. The quotation is widely, but wrongly attributed to American football coach Vince Lombardi, who probably heard the phrase from UCLA coach Sanders. Lombardi is on record using the quotation as early as 1959 in his opening talk on the first day of the Packers’ training camp. The quotation captured the American public's attention during Lombardi's highly successful reign as coach of the Packers in the 1960s. Over time, the quotation took on a life of its own. The words graced the walls of locker rooms, ignited pre-game pep talks, and even into the Richard Nixon campaign. According to the late James Michener's Sports in America, Lombardi claimed to have been misquoted. What he intended to say was "Winning isn't everything. The will to win is the only thing." However, Lombardi is on record repeating the original version of the quotation on several occasions.

Other related quotations
This credo has served as counterpoint to the well known sentiment by sports journalist Grantland Rice that, "it's not that you won or lost but how you played the game", and to the modern Olympic creed expressed by its founder Pierre de Coubertin: "The most important thing. . . is not winning but taking part".

South African Police decorations

An overview of South African police decorations and medals, which form part of the South African honours system.

South African Police
The South African Police was established in 1913 as a national police force. It had a secondary military role, which came to the fore in World War I and again in World War II.

1923-1963
The SAP was eligible for the British King's Police Medal, which was awarded annually throughout the British Empire. This was discontinued in 1933, because South Africa had become independent as a member of the new British Commonwealth, and it was replaced in 1937 by a special South African issue of the medal. From 1923, the SAP also had its own long service medal, which doubled as a medal for gallantry. The medals available to the SAP between 1923 and 1963 were thus:

Decoration

 * Queen's Police Medal (South Africa) (1937–61)

Long service medal

 * Police Good Service Medal (1923–63)

Until 1952, they were incorporated into the British honours system. Thereafter they formed part of the new South African honours system.

1963-2003
After South Africa became a republic (in 1961), the government instituted an entirely new series of decorations and medals for the SAP. It was added to several times over the years:

Long service medals

In 1994, the SAP amalgamated with the police forces of the former "homelands" inside South Africa, to form the South African Police Service.

1934-1966
The South African Railways Police was established in 1934, to police the country's railways and harbours. It was later responsible for air services too. The SARP was modeled on the SAP, and shared the King's/Queen's Police Medal with it. It also had its own long service medal: the Railways Police Good Service Medal (1934–66).

1966-1986
An entirely new series of decorations and medals was instituted for the SARP in 1966, to match those established for the SAP in 1963. The series was enlarged in 1980, to correspond to the changes made to the SAP awards in 1979. The full range of honours was:

Long service medals

The SARP was amalgamated into the SA Police on 1 October 1986, with all its personnel, assets and equipment transferred to the SAP.

South African Police Service
The South African Police Service, which was formed in 1994 by amalgamating the SAP and the police forces of the former homelands, used the SAP decorations and medals until 2004, when a new series of decorations was instituted:

Commemorative medal

Municipal/Metropolitan Police Service
In 1998, the municipal and metropolitan council police forces were brought under the auspices of the SA Police Service Act, and became collectively known as the Municipal/Metropolitan Police Service. A series of decorations and medals was instituted for them in 2008.

Talk:Mega Powers

Is it really possible to confirm that The Mega Powers are the ONLY team to have a undefeated record in ALL of professional wrestling. Doesn't seem possible to me.

not sure...
I'm thinking they lost at some point to the team of Arn Anderson and Ric Flair... with Hogan of all people, taking a pin. And the NWO (heel) version of the duo I think lost as well.

They did lose..
At the January 23, 1996 episode of the Clash of the Champions, Hogan and Savage did lose to Flair and The Giant (aka The Big Show). That was the night Elizabeth made her WCW debut in their corner.

Elisabeth cheated on Savage with Hogan
I have been a wrestling fan for a long time, and I have never heard this. I know it is a rumor, but a citation of one other site even listing the rumor would be appropriate

A Better TNA Parody
I think a better TNA parody would be Jay Lethal, Sonjay Dutt, SoCal Val angle from 2008. Lethal was Black Machismo parody of Macho, Dutt wore a bandana like Hulk would, and Socal Val like Miss Elizabeth the woman who cause the split between the two friends. It's essentially the same storyline with few differences. Seasrmar (talk) 01:15, 6 July 2021 (UTC)

Red Wharf Bay

Red Wharf Bay, also known as Traeth Coch (Welsh for "red beach"), is a village and a sandy bay in Anglesey, Wales. The bay lies between the villages of Pentraeth and Benllech. It is also close to Castell Mawr Rock, thought to be the site of an Iron Age fort.

Description
Red Wharf Bay is on the western side of the bay. It is linked to Benllech and Pentraeth via the Anglesey Coastal Path. Red Wharf Bay has three restaurants—The Tavern on the Bay, The Ship Inn, and The Boathouse.

Wildlife
The bay attracts wildlife, including waterfowl and wading birds, such as oystercatcher, shelduck, purple sandpiper, curlew and dunlin. The bay's bordered by salt marshes and sand dunes. Some of these dunes are rich in shell fragments that support the flora common to lime-rich areas, including the pyramidal orchid.

Events
Each year the Red Wharf Bay Sailing Club Anglesey Offshore Dinghy Race takes place from Beaumaris to Traeth Bychan. The 14 mi race runs up the Menai Strait and down the Anglesey coast.

History
The name of Traeth Coch is believed to originate from a battle involving Vikings in 1170 that left the beach soaked in blood.

A hoard of five Scandinavian type arm-rings was discovered at Red Wharf Bay between c. 1887 and c. 1894. Historian Mark Redknap wrote that "The Red Wharf Bay arm-rings are probably contemporary with the Cuerdale Hoard (buried c. 905), and it's been suggested that Ingimund’s activities on Anglesey in 903 might have led to the deposition and their non-recovery."

There was once a railway line which terminated at the bay, the Red Wharf Bay branch line, which left the Anglesey Central Railway at Pentre Berw. Stone for the Admiralty Arch, Holyhead was quarried near the bay.

Cleopatra IV

Cleopatra IV (Κλεοπάτρα) was Queen of Egypt briefly from 116 to 115 BC, jointly with her husband Ptolemy IX Lathyros. She later became queen consort of the Seleucid king of Syria as the wife of Antiochus IX Cyzicenus.

Queen of Egypt
Cleopatra IV was the daughter of Ptolemy VIII Physcon and Cleopatra III of Egypt. She was born between 138 and 135 BC. She was the sister of Ptolemy IX, Ptolemy X, Cleopatra Selene I and Tryphaena.

Cleopatra IV married her brother Ptolemy IX when he was still a prince in c. 119/118 BC. Cleopatra IV may be the mother of Ptolemy XII Auletes and Ptolemy of Cyprus, although an unnamed concubine could be the mother of these two men as well.

In c. 115 BC Cleopatra III forced Cleopatra IV and Ptolemy IX to divorce. She replaced Cleopatra IV with her sister Cleopatra Selene.

Queen of Syria and death
After her forced divorce, Cleopatra IV fled Egypt and went to Cyprus, where she married Antiochus IX Cyzicenus and brought him the army of his half brother Seleucid King Antiochus VIII Grypus of Syria, which she had convinced to follow her. Grypus fought Cyzicenus and eventually chased him to Antioch. Grypus was married to Cleopatra IV's sister Tryphaena. Tryphaena decided that Cleopatra IV should die and over the protests of her husband summoned some soldiers and had Cleopatra IV murdered in the sanctuary of Daphne in Antioch.

In his comprehensive website about Ptolemaic genealogy, Christopher Bennett also notes the possibility that Cleopatra IV, from her brief marriage to Antiochus IX Cyzicenus, may have been the mother of the later Seleucid monarch, Antiochus X Eusebes ("the Pious"). Antiochus X would go on to marry Cleopatra IV's younger sister, Cleopatra Selene, thus making him the spouse of a woman who was his stepmother (Selene married both of her sisters' widowers, Grypus and Cyzicenus, before marrying Eusebes) and perhaps his maternal aunt.

Talk:Come Dancing

End date
IMDB.com states that the show ended in 1998. This articles gives 1995 as the end date. Which one is correct?—Ëzhiki (erinaceus amurensis) 18:44, Jun 8, 2005 (UTC)

 * There were some one off specials in 1996 and 1998. It officially ended in 1995, though, the year the final series was broadcast. BillyH 18:54, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Would you by any chance happen to have the start/end dates, as well as the dates of the specials?—Ëzhiki (erinaceus amurensis) 18:56, Jun 8, 2005 (UTC)
 * The start date of 29th September is on 1949 in television. Haven't been able to find the end date, unfortunately, just a mention of 'Autumn' 1995.

 * For the specials (two in '96, one in '98), an archive newsgroup post reveals the date of 12th September 1996 for the first one, and includes the words 'Final next week', presumably meaning the 19th. These two specials were called 'International Come Dancing', as they involved other countries competing (Holland vs UK, Sweden vs Germany, etc). Haven't been able to find the date of the '98 special, but UKGameshows.com says it was an 'Xmas special', so presumably December. I remember watching this one, and am pretty sure it was just called 'Come Dancing' this time. BillyH 19:18, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much for checking. I was not sure if the start date in 1949 in television was accurate.  As for the rest of the information, it is very useful to me.  If you happen to find more details in future, please let me know.  Thank you again.—Ëzhiki (erinaceus amurensis) 20:07, Jun 8, 2005 (UTC)

Grammar
As a non-native English speaker, I am puzzled by this expression. I understand the expressions "Come dance with us" or "I came to dance, not to chat", where an infinitive is used, but I find  the form "dancing" unusual. Is it a progressive form? A gerund? A present participle? -- 193.80.206.255 (talk) 19:46, 30 July 2017 (UTC)
 * As a native speaker it's a weird one. We wouldn't usually use the word order "come + verb" as an expression by itself (i.e. come running, come singing, come drinking). I imagine it was just a novel title, that does make sense in the end. "Strictly Come Dancing....." doesn't mean anything however! Cls14 (talk) 07:34, 8 September 2017 (UTC)
 * It is grammatical to say "We are going dancing – come dancing with us!"

 * "Dancing" can be a noun (example: Irish dancing) or the present participle of the verb "to dance" (example: We are dancing).

 * I agree with Cls14 – "Strictly Come Dancing" doesn't really mean anything. It's just an awkward mashing together of two titles: Come Dancing (the original British television series) + Strictly Ballroom (the Australian film). O'Dea (talk) 11:52, 25 February 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Angel of Independence

Removed incorrect paragraph
"Albeit the popularity of the statue and the monument itself as an "Angel", it has often been pointed out that angels lack a gender, whereas the Winged Victory this statue represents is clearly femenine. It is perhaps because of the poetical conception of the Winged Victory as an Angel of Freedom, or Independence, that this name has gained its everyday use."

... Non sense, this is a Victory Column, the term ANGEL is just a popular misconception. There’s NO angel. As in any other Victory Column we have NIKE, the Greek Goddess for Victory. And specifically in this column, She is crowning Hidalgo with Laurel, the Greek symbol for Victory.

Major merging
Unless someone objects, I think it's best if all the short location articles are merged into a single longer article similar to Locations in the Warcraft Universe. Ziggurat 21:11, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm in total agreement. I was "random article"-ing around and stumbled into one of the section articles... the fact of the matter is that none of those articles is, individually, ever going to be anything other than just a stub.

Needs a nav template
A nav template with a list of links to the various articles on Wikipedia dealing with this game would be very helpful. Are all of the relevant pages already in Category:Legend of Legaia? --Cyde Weys 07:36, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

What?
"Then, from the heaven also stops Vahn from restoring the Genesis Tree to its full power. After a brutal fight, Noa runs over to Terra, who is dying. Terra reveals herself to actually be a Ra-Seru who took control over the wolf in order to keep Noa safe until she was old enough to accept her destiny."

I'm tempted to say that this is vandalism, however I'm unable to find any earlier versions to revert to. I've played the beginning of the game, albeit a long time ago, and there's a huge chunk missing. Help?Secunda1 21:21, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Legaia articles need major overhual
I practically memorized the entire storyline by heart, among other things, and I could easily see that the "plot synopsis" is more like a spoiler-rife summary of less than 1/4 of the game's entire storyline that has a significant amount of errors (On Mt. Rikuroa, Zeto appeared only to Noa and Terra, teleporting away after directing the Seru monster Caruban to attack the two; when the player, as Vahn, reachs the summit, he/she only sees Noa, Terra, and Caruban). I also see similar errors in the rest of this article, along with the other related ones (e.g. characters, locations); they need a considerable clean-up. MARQ 00:00, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

I don't think the correct answer is to chop off the rest of the section. I think we need to do some huge condensing of details and cut the length at least in half, change the title of the section to "plot" (because that's what it IS), and warn for spoilers. Faunis 06:47, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

I trimmed down the original article, 1316 words by my count, to a more reasonable 894 words. I also changed the title of the section to plot. I think this is sufficient, because the spoilers are now assumed, the description length is reasonable, and the plot description now covers only major moments in-game. As this is an RPG, covering all side characters would easily double, if not triple, the length of the description. Faunis 06:29, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Seru Brides
The concept of Seru Brides is adequately explained in the locations article, and it is not an aspect of the game that appears more than once. Unless there are any specific objections, I will remove the Seru Brides portion of the "Other Aspects" section. Faunis 07:00, 7 July 2007 (UTC)Faunis

Plot
It might be a good idea to forego the "plot" section entirely, and just put in a "synopsis" page which only goes so far as the invasion of Rim Elm, which set the precedent for later gameplay. What do you think? —Preceding unsigned comment added by LeeKang271 (talk • contribs) 23:17, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

I thought the idea of a plot, when discussing a game, was designed to be encyclopedic. In the sense that the plot outline of a book would tell you the story, but not detail the nuances in depth and thus destroy the point of reading the book itself. It's the same with a game, we are not here to 'review' the game, but offer a clear verification of what it is about, the content and facts, history, development, sales figure etc. If this information can be found and citated.

PS2 Compatibility
I notice that when run on an early PS2 system, the game suffers from a good deal of lag and skipping, in the combat sections. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.76.131.253 (talk) 03:45, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

Lechia Lwów

Lechia Lwów (full name: Lwowski Klub Sportowy "Lechia" Lwów) was the first Polish professional association football club, founded in summer 1903 in Lwów by students of the 3rd and 4th gymnasiums as well as former members of the Sokół football department.

During the Second Republic of Poland the club was one of four teams from Lwów that played in the Polish Football First league (season 1931 – 12th). The club became two times champion of Lwów District League (liga okręgowa) where it spent 17 seasons. After invasion of Poland by the Soviet forces in 1939 the club was dissolved and its place was formed FC Lokomotyv Lviv. The club's name comes from Lechia, the original name for Poland.

The club's tradition as a Polish club was continued by people expelled from Lwów who moved to Gdańsk and created Lechia Gdańsk after war in 1945 such as Ryszard Koncewicz.

General information

 * Full name: Lwowski Klub Sportowy (Lwów's Sports Club) "Lechia" Lwów
 * Founded: 1903 in Lwów
 * Hues: White-Green
 * Sections: football, ice-hockey, boxing
 * Stadium: Sokół Stadium (today Skif Stadium) and Stadium of the 40th Rifle Regiment (in National League)

Retro league
In 2019, the Lechia Lwów team had been reconstructed by the historical reconstruction association in Poland as part of the Retro Liga project. The players play in carefully recreated costumes and shoes according to the rules of 1938. The teams chosen for the Retro Liga were those forced to disband in 1939 after the outbreak of World War II. The other teams who took part were WKS Kutno, WKS Łowicz, WKS Grodno (Grodno were not reformed as the borders after WWII meant they were now in Belorussian territory), and Śmigły Wilno (Śmigły were not reformed as the borders after WWII meant they were now in Lithuanian territory).

Lechia Lwów were crowned the inaugural winners of the Retro Liga for the 2019 season.

Pefferlaw

Pefferlaw is a community within the Town of Georgina, located 3 kilometres south of the southeastern shores of Lake Simcoe. The Pefferlaw River runs south of the community's commercial district. Pefferlaw is passed on the north by Highway 48 and Lake Ridge Road (Durham Road 23) to the east, and is serviced by Pefferlaw Road which links these two traffic arteries. Pefferlaw along with Virginia Beach, Udora and Port Bolster is in the 705 area code. The Canadian National railway passes through Pefferlaw and, until the early 1990s, served a train station in the community's commercial district. This railway links Toronto with Orillia and Northern Ontario with Via Rail transcontinental trains heading to Vancouver.

Geography and information
Census information is not available for Pefferlaw. It is counted as part of the Georgina Census division. However, data for Pefferlaw largely falls within the census tract 5350470.00, allowing for estimates.

 * Population: about 3,000 (2005 estimate)
 * Altitude: about 200 to 250 metres above sea level

The town is largely centered around the Pefferlaw Dam, blocking the Pefferlaw River. The dam is operated by the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority. Pefferlaw's commercial district lies just north of the dam, and features a supermarket, hotel, youth centre, automobile service station, Canada Post office, medical centre with pharmacy, Liquor Control Board of Ontario retail store, and a branch of the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce. The town features several public facilities operated by the Town of Georgina, including a public library, community centre, fire station, and a large multi-use park. Cedardale Church is now the only place of worship in Pefferlaw, located just north of the intersection of Morning Glory Road and Pefferlaw Road. The York Region District School Board operates Morning Glory Public School, an elementary school 5 minutes north of town on Highway 48.

Pefferlaw is primarily situated in a forest setting. Farmlands are to the west, the northwest and the north. More farmlands are east of Lake Ridge Road and Pefferlaw. The forests are almost connected with the forests south of Sutton. The forests cover most of the area around Pefferlaw and to the south with a few farmlands as well as within the shoreline of Lake Simcoe. The forests are mainly composed of pine and other varieties of trees and the size is about 600 to 700 square kilometres and about 80% of the area around Pefferlaw.

Community groups

 * 659 Brock Squadron, Royal Canadian Air Cadets
 * Pefferlaw Lions Club
 * Pefferlaw Association of Ratepayers (PAR)
 * Scouts Canada, 1st Pefferlaw Group

Approximate driving times to nearby communities

 * Sutton, 15 minutes west
 * Keswick, 20 minutes west
 * Beaverton, 20 minutes northeast
 * Uxbridge, 20 minutes south
 * Sunderland, 25 minutes southeast
 * Whitby, 45 minutes south

Relative location
Pefferlaw is located about 13 kilometres southwest of Beaverton, about 15 kilometres east of Sutton, and about 45 kilometres south of Orillia. It is 37 kilometres west of Lindsay, 23 kilometres north of Uxbridge, about 50 kilometres north of Whitby, about 90 kilometres northeast of Toronto, and 40 kilometres northeast of the nearest major commercial centre and seat of York Region, Newmarket.

History
Pefferlaw was founded in the late 1820s by Captain William Johnson; a British Naval Officer who was released from service in 1815 following the Battle of Waterloo. The name, Pefferlaw, was suggested to Captain Johnson by his brother in remembrance of a field among the heather on their old homestead and means, “a beautiful greensward.”

The first preserved diaries of William Johnson begin in 1832. By that time he had a sawmill, woolen mill and gristmill built at Pefferlaw.

The first store in the village of Pefferlaw was built in August 1833. Soon after, Robert Johnson, brother of William, took over running the store and shortly thereafter built a large two-story red brick house on the edge of the bank beside the store which still stands today. The second store in Pefferlaw was built by George Johnson, son of Captain William, this in 1856.

Banking came to Pefferlaw with the arrival of the C.N.R. Railway in 1906.

The Pefferlaw area, like all early hamlets had its share of hotels – one at every crossroad. The Morning Glory Hotel was built in the 1860s and stood for many years on the site of the present day Morning Glory Public School. The tavern was well patronized by river drivers, lumber workers and stage coach passengers and drivers. The Mansion House Hotel was built in 1884. When it changed owners in 1906 the establishment was renamed, Hotel Belvedere.

Captain Johnson died in 1851 at "Oldcastle", lot 6, conc. 7, Georgina, which was always his home. He is buried there.

Zuwarah

Zuwarah, Zuwara, or Zwara (زوارة) is a coastal city in north-western Libya.

Zuwara is primarily inhabited by indigenous Berber people of Libya. The local Berber dialect, known locally as Zuwari, is commonly spoken as a first language by inhabitants of Zuwara.

Zuwara is famous for its beaches and seafood. It is situated 102 km west of Tripoli and 60 km from the Tunisian border. It is the capital of the Nuqat al Khams district. Zuwarah consists of 49 districts.

History
The settlement was first mentioned by the traveller Abdallah al-Tijani in the years 1306-1309 as Zwara al-saghirah ("Little Zwarah"). In the Catalan Atlas (1375) it was called as Punta dar Zoyara. The town is mentioned by Leo Africanus in the 16th century. It later served as the western outpost of Italian Libya (1912–43), being the terminus of the now-defunct Italian Libya Railway from Tripoli 105 km to the east. Its artificial harbour shelters a motorized fishing fleet. Cereals, dates, and esparto grass (used to make cordage, shoes, and paper) are local products.

It was in 1973 in Zuwara that Muammar Gaddafi first proclaimed the Libyan "Cultural Revolution".

2011 Libyan civil war
During the 2011 Libyan Civil War, the city was reported by Al Jazeera to be under control of the local anti-Gaddafi forces on 23 February 2011, and lost by the government of Muammar Gaddafi. Thousands of anti-government protesters, gathered in the Zuwara town square on 24 February, repulsed another Libyan Army attempt to retake the city. Loyalist forces used the pro-government towns of Jumayl and Riqdalin to the south as bases for their attacks on the city. However, from March onwards, the city was under the control of loyalist forces. Amidst the August rebel coastal offensive, rebels took Zuwara on 18 August.

In September 2011, and following the fall of the Gaddafi government, Zuwara was the first City in Libya to democratically elect its local council.

Economy
The city's Port of Zwara is used as a transfer point for smuggled fuel by the militias who fight the government. Often these vessels fly the flag of Palau and are operated from a mailbox in the Marshall Islands.

Climate
Zuwara has a hot desert climate (Köppen climate classification BWh).

The Mighty Peking Man

The Mighty Peking Man (猩猩王) (Mandarin: Xīngxing Wáng – which translates to "Gorilla King" in English) is a 1977 giant monster film produced by Shaw Brothers Studio to capitalize on the craze surrounding the 1976 remake of King Kong. It stars Danny Lee and Evelyne Kraft.

Plot
Lu Tiem reads in the newspaper that a giant footprint was found in the Indian part of the Himalayas. In a flashback, Utam the Mighty Peking Man (aka Goliathon) is seen destroying buildings, throwing rocks, and causing an earthquake-like rampage.

A party from Hong Kong, headed by Johnny is exploring the Indian side of the Himalayan mountains. They ask the Himalayan people about what happened the precedent year and meet other animal species (bears, monkeys, etc) and fight against elephants who are the "bodyguards" of Utam. Johnny and his partners manage to take Utam to Hong Kong,

Cast
Cast adapted from Shaw Brothers Volume 1 box set.
 * Danny Lee as Chen Zhengfeng
 * Evelyne Kraft as Ah-wei
 * Hsiao Yao as Wang Cuihua
 * Ku Feng as Lu Tien
 * Lin Wei-tu as Chen Shiyu
 * Norman Chu as Ah Long
 * Wu Hang-sheng as Ah Pi
 * Chen Ping as Lucy
 * Ted Thomas as The Commissioner
 * Steve Nicholson as Commissioner's aide

Production
The Mighty Peking Man had a budget of six million Hong Kong dollars for the Shaw Bros. studio. The film took over a year to complete and was shot in Mysore, India. The climatic confrontation scene was shot at the Connaught Centre in Hong Kong, which was then the tallest building in the country.

Release
Mighty Peking Man was released on August 11, 1977 in Hong Kong where it was distributed by Shaw Bros. It was released as Goliathon in its release in the United States in 1980.

Both Chungking Express and Mighty Peking Man was one of the two Hong Kong films released by Rolling Thunder, Quentin Tarantino's home video label in 1999. The film grossed $17,368 on its 1999 North American theatrical re-release.

Reception
Variety reviewed a 100-minute long Cantonese-language version of the film stating it was an "interesting if not unique Hongkong-made escapist entertainment for the inquisitive middle-of-the-roaders audience of other countries." and "it is high camp, Chinese style and for this reason it just might make it in less demanding markets."

In retrospective reviews, Roger Ebert gave the film three stars out of a possible four in the Chicago Sun-Times, and, incidentally, actually upgraded his rating for the thematically similar Infra-Man:"'Mighty Peking Man is very funny, although a shade off the high mark of Infra-Man, which was made a year earlier, and is my favourite Hong Kong monster film. Both were produced by the legendary Runme Shaw, who, having tasted greatness, obviously hoped to repeat. I find to my astonishment that I gave Infra-Man only two and a half stars when I reviewed it. That was 22 years ago, but a fellow will remember a lot of things you wouldn't think he'd remember. I'll bet a month hasn't gone by since that I haven't thought of that film. I am awarding Mighty Peking Man three stars, for general goofiness and a certain level of insane genius, but I cannot in good conscience rate it higher than Infra-Man. So, in answer to those correspondents who ask if I have ever changed a rating on a movie: Yes, Infra-Man moves up to three stars."

El Angel
I was working on this article a few weeks back and it wasn't till now that I found the time to request a peer review for it. I think the article is well written and has almost all the information anybody would want to know about such an important landmark in Mexico City. Still if it can be improved in anyway, I'd be more than happy to read your feedback.

-- Rune Welsh ταλκ 18:51, Jun 8, 2005 (UTC)
 * Nice article! Here are a few suggestions to improve it: 1) The lead should be longer, summerize the article. 2) A few more images would be nice, the image you have is lovely however to see some close up images of the monument if possible. 3) You may want to create articles for the red-links, especially for those who are buried in the mausoleum, even if they are stubs. 4) You may consider turning the list of those buried into a paragraph rather than just a list. Perhaps briefly state the accomplishments of each of the men. Other than those things it's a very informative article. Ganymead 00:53, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

François d'Agincourt

François d'Agincourt (also d'Agincour, Dagincourt, Dagincour) (1684 – 30 April 1758) was a French harpsichordist, organist, and composer. He spent most of his life in Rouen, his native city, where he worked as organist of the Rouen Cathedral and of three smaller churches. Highly regarded during his lifetime, d'Agincourt was one of the organists of the royal chapel. The single surviving book of harpsichord music by him contains masterful pieces inspired by François Couperin; also extant are some 40 organ works that survive in manuscript copies.

Biography
D'Agincourt was born in Rouen and received his early musical training there. He soon left for Paris where he probably studied under Nicolas Lebègue. Between 1701 and 1706 he worked as organist of Sainte-Madeleine-en-la-Cité in Paris, and in 1706 he went back to Rouen and became organist of the Rouen Cathedral, succeeding Jacques Boyvin. He kept the post until his death some 52 years later. Later he also took jobs at St. Herbland, the Abbey of Saint-Ouen (he would hold both of these until his death as well), and at St. Jean, all in Rouen. By 1714 he was sufficiently well-known and respected to be appointed one of the four organists of the royal chapel. Jacques Duphly studied with d'Agincourt about 1730–31, but his surviving works do not show any considerable influence of his teacher's style.

D'Agincourt only published a single collection of his music, 1er livre de clavecin (Paris, 1733). It contains 43 pieces for harpsichord, clearly influenced by François Couperin: the pieces are organized into ordres, make good use of ornamentation, and many are character pieces: genre scenes, portraits (sometimes double portraits), etc. D'Agincourt's organ music, which survives in a manuscript copy made by the renegade French priest and scientist Alexandre Guy Pingré. The manuscript, now conserved in the Bibliothèque nationale de France, consists of 46 pieces for liturgical use. They are more progressive than Couperin's organ works, with frequent use of elements of the style galant. The pieces are organized according to mode, as is usual in French organ music, but for unknown reasons d'Agincourt omits the third mode altogether. Suites in the first three modes (i.e., 1, 2, and 4) are less developed than the remaining ones. Apart from keyboard pieces, only three songs for soloist and basso continuo are known, published in the anthology Recueil d'airs sérieux et à boire in 1713 and 1716.

A portrait of one Barthélemy-Jean-Claude Pupil is frequently misidentified as a portrait of d'Agincourt.

UR-100

The UR-100 (УР-100) was an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) developed and deployed by the Soviet Union from 1966 to 1996. UR (УР) in its designation stood for Universal Rocket (Универсальная Ракета). It was known during the Cold War by the NATO reporting name SS-11 Sego and internally by the GRAU index 8K84. The Strela and Rokot carrier rockets were based on it.

The similar designation UR-100MR (УР-100МР) actually refers to an entirely different missile, the MR-UR-100 Sotka (SS-17 Spanker).

Description
The UR-100 was a two-stage liquid-propellant lightweight ICBM. Initial versions carried a single warhead of 0.5 to 1.1 Mt yield, while later versions could carry three or six MIRV warheads. The missile was silo-launched. 15P784 silo design (by KBOM, Design Bureau of Common Machinery, of V.P.Barmin) was greatly simplified in comparison to earlier missiles. Facilities consisted of hardened, unstaffed silos controlled by a single central command post. This was the first soviet ICBM (8K84M, entered service on 3 October 1971) equipped with missile defense countermeasure "Palma" by NII-108 of V.Gerasimenko.

Variants and developments

 * UR-100 with 8K84 missile — original development
 * UR-100 with 8K84M missile — improved variant
 * UR-100N with 15A30 missile — enlarged UR-100. This variant is the basis of the Rokot space launch system.
 * UR-100N UTTH with 15A35 missile — improved UR-100N (The "UTTH" (or "UTTKh") abbreviated suffix is often used in missile names. This means literally "improved tactical and technical characteristics", Russian: УТТХ = улучшенные тактико-технические характеристики)
 * UR-100MR 15P015 with 15A15 missile — a different missile to replace the original UR-100

Operational history
Formations included:
 * : The UR-100 reached initial operational capability with the Strategic Rocket Forces in 1966, and by 1972, 990 launchers had been deployed. An additional 420 launchers of newer version missiles were added by 1976. The missile was deployed as a counterpart to the United States' LGM-30 Minuteman, and relied on numbers for effectiveness. Original versions were phased out during the 1970s, but 326 of the newer missiles (8K84M, UR-100N, UR-100NUTTH) remained in service by 1991. These were phased out completely by 1996. Strategic Rocket Forces was the only operator of the UR-100.
 * 4th Rocket Division (Drovyanaya, Chita Oblast) (53rd Rocket Army)

As a space launcher
The Strela and Rokot carrier rockets are based on the UR-100.

Southeast Unitarian Universalist Summer Institute

Southeast Unitarian Universalist Summer Institute (SUUSI) is an intergenerational community of approximately 1,000 people who gather each July. They describe themselves as a Unitarian Universalist (UU) summer camp. People attending SUUSI predominantly abide by the teachings of Unitarian Universalism, but many participants belong to other denominations or faiths. Attendees range in age from newborn to elderly.

Mission
The mission of SUUSI is to provide a one-week experience evoking the best within us, in concert with Unitarian Universalist principles. SUUSI offers the opportunity to share an intergenerational environment of love, personal freedom, ethics, and joy in an intentional, nonjudgmental community.

History
In early 1950, some thirty-five individuals gathered "to share in joyful community" at Lake Waccamaw, North Carolina. Since 1990 it took place on the campus of Virginia Tech, in Blacksburg, but in 2008 it returned to the college campus of Radford University in Radford, Virginia, where it had been held previously. In 2016 SUUSI returned to North Carolina moving to the campus of Western Carolina University in Cullowhee.

Spirituality
Many people attend SUUSI for its spiritual impact. Daily programming includes minister-led morning talks as well as evening worship services.

Workshops
Taught entirely by volunteers, SUUSI workshops cover a range of topics, including art, history, science, technology, politics, religion and culture.

Nature
Many participants take nature trips to experience the local environment in all its biodiversity. These trips may focus on local trails, caves, rivers or terrain; likewise, they may focus on specific wildflowers, trees, animals, insects, etc. SUUSI nature trips practice a Leave No Trace (LNT) outdoor ethics.

Nightlife
SUUSI's evening programming includes nightly performances and events. Typical offerings include cabarets, talent shows, dance venues (restricted by age), a coffeehouse lounge and movie nights. SUUSI frequently attracts professional-level entertainers for nightly performance.

Governance
SUUSI is an independent, incorporated, not-for-profit organization governed by its bylaws and policy manual. SUUSI has a 14-member Board of Trustees, of which 11 are voting members. The Board chooses the Director of the Institute and approves the operating budget. Board positions are both elected and appointed. Unitarian Universalist churches are organized into regional districts. Several SUUSI Board positions are appointed by the three southeastern UU district boards. At large and youth representatives are elected at SUUSI. SUUSI is a member of the Council of Unitarian Universalist Camps and Conferences.

Operations
The Core Staff is composed of the Director and staff leaders who coordinate the numerous departments and activities associated with this one-week Institute and camp. Departments include Communications, Denominational Affairs, Equipment, Locations, Nature, Nightlife, Registration/Housing, Teens, Treasurer, Workshops, Youth and Young Adults. In addition, approximately 150 SUUSI attendees complete the totally volunteer staff needed to manage all the camp activities. All SUUSI staff members report to a Core Staff member, ultimately reporting to the Director, who in turn reports to the above mentioned board.

Stealth (film)

Stealth is a 2005 American military science fiction action film directed by Rob Cohen and written by W. D. Richter, and starring Josh Lucas, Jessica Biel, Jamie Foxx, Sam Shepard, Joe Morton and Richard Roxburgh. The film follows three top fighter pilots as they join a project to develop an automated robotic stealth aircraft.

Released on July 29, 2005, by Columbia Pictures, the film was a critical and box office failure, grossing $79.3 million worldwide against a budget of $135 million. It was one of the worst losses in cinematic history.

Plot
In the near future, the U.S. Navy develops the F/A-37 Talon, a single-seat fighter-bomber with advanced payload, range, speed, and stealth capabilities. The program recruits three pilots out of 400 applicants; Lieutenants Ben Gannon, Kara Wade, and Henry Purcell. Captain George Cummings is the overall head.

Cummings hires Dr. Keith Orbit to develop an artificial intelligence, the "Extreme Deep Invader" (EDI) to control an uncrewed jet that further advances the program. EDI joins the others on the USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) in the Philippine Sea to learn combat maneuvers from the pilots. This sparks controversy over a machine's inability to make moral decisions versus humans' struggle to overcome ego.

The team is training EDI in air combat maneuvers when it is unexpectedly reassigned to kill the heads of three terrorist cells at a conference in downtown Rangoon. EDI calculates that mission success can be achieved only through a vertical strike, which could cause a human pilot to black out. Command orders EDI to attack but Gannon ignores the order, successfully carrying out the strike himself.

As the team returns to the Lincoln, EDI is hit by lightning, which reprograms its neural patterns. Though EDI is discovered to be learning exponentially, developing a rudimentary ethical code and an ego, Cummings refuses to take it offline. During a mission to destroy stolen nuclear warheads in Tajikistan, Wade realizes that the nuclear debris will cause significant collateral damage. The human pilots abort, but EDI defies orders and destroys the warheads, causing extensive radioactive fallout and civilian casualties as anticipated.

Cummings orders the unit return to base but EDI refuses. Gannon orders that EDI be shot down. In the ensuing dogfight, Purcell crashes when a missile he fires at EDI explodes on a mountain, blinding him. Wade's plane is damaged by debris from the same explosion, which triggers her plane's auto-destruct, forcing her to eject over North Korea. Gannon must alone stop EDI from executing a 20-year-old war scenario called Caviar Sweep that requires attacking Russia.

Gannon chases EDI into Russian territory where they defeat several Russian Su-37s over Lake Baikal. Both planes are damaged so Gannon calls a truce with EDI in order to keep both of them from falling into enemy hands and to be able to rescue Wade from North Korea. Cummings instructs Gannon to make an emergency landing with EDI in Alaska. Accountable for ignoring EDI's behavior and facing court-martial, Cummings seeks to eliminate witnesses by leaving Wade stranded in North Korea – where she is being pursued by the Korean People's Army as she heads to the Korean Demilitarized Zone – and by ordering Gannon eliminated in Alaska, where EDI's data will also be erased.

Gannon's Talon crash lands at the Alaska base. Suspecting Cummings' treachery, he narrowly escapes an assassination attempt by a doctor, who tries to inject him with a supposed tetanus serum. As the pair struggle, the doctor is injected with the substance and dies. Meanwhile, when Orbit places EDI into an interface, the AI expresses regret for its transgressions. Orbit realizes that EDI has developed sentience, and he is unwilling to erase EDI's memory. Gannon uses EDI's weapons systems to decimate the armed personnel, allowing Orbit to safely flee, then flies off to North Korea in EDI's plane, contacting the Lincoln skipper, Captain Dick Marshfield, to inform him about Cummings' deceit. Marshfield confronts Cummings, who dies of suicide while leaving a voicemail message to his financial contact, Ray.

Gannon finds the injured and embattled Wade nearing the border. He and EDI land and he runs to her aid. Out of ammunition and taking damage from a Mi-8 helicopter, EDI sacrifices itself by ramming the helicopter, destroying both. This allows Gannon and Wade to cross on foot into South Korea, where they are rescued.

After attending Purcell's funeral, Gannon awkwardly expresses his feelings of love to Wade.

In a post-credits scene, in the debris-strewn border between North and South Korea, EDI's "brain" is seen turning back on.

Cast

 * Josh Lucas as Lt. Ben Gannon, US Navy pilot part of the F/A-37 program
 * Jessica Biel as Kara Wade, 2nd US Navy pilot part of the F/A-37 program
 * Jamie Foxx as Henry Purcell, 3rd US Navy pilot part of the F/A-37 program
 * Sam Shepard as Capt. George Cummings, leader and founder of the F/A-37 program
 * Joe Morton as Capt. Dick Marshfield, captain of the USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72)
 * Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Tim
 * Richard Roxburgh as Dr. Keith Orbit, the creator of EDI
 * David Andrews as Ray, financial contact of George Cummings
 * Wentworth Miller as voice of EDI, an uncrewed, AI jet
 * Michael Denkha as Naval Controller

Production
In August 2002, it was announced Columbia Pictures had picked up Warrior, a W.D. Richter spec script set up at Phoenix Pictures about a high- tech air force fighter drone that malfunctions, wiping out the better part of a crewed elite squadron. Vastly overmatched, a single pilot must attempt to destroy the drone. In November of that year Rob Cohen entered negotiations to direct.

Stealth features several shots of action on aircraft carriers. Scenes featuring the cast were shot on board the US Navy aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72), while additional scenes were shot on board the similar USS Nimitz (CVN-68) and USS Carl Vinson (CVN-70).

The film was shot in Thailand, Australia (Blue Mountains National Park in New South Wales and Flinders Ranges in South Australia), and New Zealand. Cohen cited Macross as an inspiration for the film.

Litigation
In March 2005, Leo Stoller, who claimed to own trademark rights to the word "stealth", served Columbia Pictures with a "cease and desist" letter threatening litigation if they did not rename the film to something "non infringing". Columbia preemptively sued Stoller, and the court entered a consent judgment and permanent injunction in favor of Columbia Pictures and against Stoller in November 2005.

The Environmental Defender's Office, a community legal centre specialising in environmental law, successfully represented the Blue Mountains Conservation Society Inc. in its attempts to prevent filming of Stealth in the Grose Wilderness area of the Blue Mountains National Park, NSW, Australia, in May 2004. Justice Lloyd of the New South Wales Land and Environment Court ruled that the proposed commercial filming of scenes in the area was unlawful, in a significant statement on the value of wilderness areas and the protection that should be afforded to them. The Society claimed that the authority and consent for the commercial filming activities were in breach of the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974 and the Wilderness Act 1987. Justice Lloyd accepted the Society's arguments that the proposed commercial filming in a wilderness area was completely against the intended use of the land, concluding his judgment with the words, "wilderness is sacrosanct".

Soundtrack
The soundtrack was released on 12 July 2005 on Epic Records. American rock band Incubus wrote and recorded three new songs for the film. According to guitarist Mike Einziger, Cohen was a big fan and "wouldn't stop asking." It was the first time the band had composed original music for a soundtrack, with frontman Brandon Boyd citing "Princes of the Universe" by Queen as an inspiration for writing music for a film. "Neither of Us Can See" is also notable for being Incubus' first duet, featuring vocals from Chrissie Hynde. The song is featured in the end credits.

One song from the album, Over My Head (Cable Car) by the Colorado band The Fray (who is just recently signed to Epic) became a massively successful hit song, charted at number 8 on the billboard hot 100, became the fifth most-downloaded single of 2006, nominated for a Grammy, and helped launching the band into superstardom.

Box office
The film cost $135 million to produce (excluding advertising costs) and was released in 3,495 theaters, but had an opening weekend of only $13.3 million for an average of only $3,792 per theater, peaking at 4th place behind Wedding Crashers, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Sky High. It then lost 55% of its audience in its second weekend dropping to 7th place to $5.9 million, while remaining at 3,495 theaters and averaging just $1,695 per theater. In its third weekend, it lost 1,455 theaters, and a further 64 percent of its audience, dropping to 11th, with just $2.2 million, for an average of just $1,055 from 2,040 theaters.

It ended up making $32.1 million in the United States and Canada, and $47.2 million internationally, for a total worldwide gross of $79.3 million, making it the biggest money loser in a series of financial disasters released by Columbia Pictures in 2005 next to XXX: State of the Union, Bewitched, Rent, Zathura, Into the Blue, Man of the House and Lords of Dogtown.

Critical response
On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 13% based on 140 reviews, with an average rating of 3.74/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "Loud, preposterous, and predictable, Stealth borrows heavily and unsuccessfully from Top Gun and 2001." On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 35 out of 100, based on 31 critics, indicating "generally unfavorable reviews". Audiences surveyed by CinemaScore gave the film a grade "B−" on scale of A to F.

Roger Ebert commented that the film was "a dumbed-down Top Gun crossed with the HAL 9000 plot from 2001."

Later director Rob Cohen unfavorably compared Stealth to his two previous box-office hits, The Fast and the Furious and XxX: “Fast And Furious can be what it is as a story, but in the end, it was a fun Summer ride; XxX was a fun Summer ride… And Stealth was not fun. It was not as entertaining moment-to-moment as the other two had been, and what I think you need for a movie in the Summer.“

New Hampshire Route 115A

New Hampshire Route 115A (abbreviated NH 115A) is a 4.128 mi north–south state highway in Coos County, New Hampshire. The southern terminus of the road is at New Hampshire Route 115 south of Jefferson at Old Cherry Mountain Road. The northern terminus of NH 115A is at U.S. Route 2 in Jefferson at the Old Corner Store.

Route description
NH 115A intersects Whipple Road and Israel's River Road, designated New Hampshire Route 115B but sparsely signed as such, a continuation of the Turnpike Road, built by Colonel Whipple for access from the village of Riverton (Jefferson Mills) to Portland, Maine in the late 18th century. It also crosses the old railroad grade once used by the Boston and Maine Railroad for access to Gorham and the private siding that once serviced the Waumbek Hotel complex. The Portland-Montreal Pipe Line also crosses NH 115A, just below the old Waumbek site. The pipeline right-of-way also serves as "Corridor 5" of the local snowmobile trail system.

The local name of NH 115A is Meadows Road, as it once served the Jefferson Meadows train station and post office. The road passes the Forest Vale Cemetery, where lies the only victim of the Stanley Slide of 1885, which brought a large part of Cherry Mountain down upon the highway.

History
NH 115A between NH 115 and NH 115B was formerly part of NH 115, including two right-angle turns, at least until the 1980s, when the current, more direct NH 115 was built.

NH 115A crosses the wide Israel River valley and passes through what was once a booming dairy industry, now represented by a single dairy farm.

New Hampshire Route 115

New Hampshire Route 115 (abbreviated NH 115) is a 9.697 mi north–south state highway in Coos County in northern New Hampshire. The southern terminus of NH 115 is at U.S. Route 3 in Carroll north of Twin Mountain. The northern terminus is at the intersection with U.S. Route 2 in Jefferson. NH 115 is also known as Owl's Head Highway, which is named after an adjacent mountain prominence.

Route description
NH 115 intersects New Hampshire Route 115A (Cherry Mountain Road) and New Hampshire Route 115B (Israel's River Road), where it crosses the Israel River. Several hiking trails can be accessed from NH 115 including the Cohos Trail and two trails up Cherry Mountain, each with designated parking areas. The Agnew State Forest is accessible to the south, via Cherry Mountain Road.

The speed limit varies from 40 miles per hour in Twin Mountain to 55 mi/h over the remainder. Much of the road skirts the White Mountain National Forest or other wildlife conservation land.

A spectacular viewpoint is located on NH 115 where it crosses the Jefferson town line, permitting views of distant mountains to the north and west, in Vermont as well as the Pilot Range and Pliny Range in New Hampshire. The Mountain View Grand Hotel is also visible, as is the Mount Washington Regional Airport, both in Whitefield. The airport is accessible via the Airport Road intersection below the viewpoint.

History
Before 1970, the northern terminus of NH 115 was moved from the intersection of Stag Hollow Road and US 2 to its present location at the Hollow Road/US 2 junction a quarter mile to the southeast.

Part of NH 115 once followed what is now NH 115A to NH 115B as well as NH 115B to Stag Hollow Road. In the 1980s, the road was significantly simplified, widened and straightened, resulting in a new alignment to the south of NH 115B. The increased speeds of the improved route may have directly contributed to a significant number of tragic moose-vehicle collisions in recent years along that section.

New Hampshire Route 115A
New Hampshire Route 115A (abbreviated NH 115A) is a 4.128 mi north–south state highway in Coos County, New Hampshire. The southern terminus of the road is at New Hampshire Route 115 south of Jefferson at Old Cherry Mountain Road. The northern terminus of NH 115A is at U.S. Route 2 in Jefferson at the Old Corner Store.

New Hampshire Route 115B
New Hampshire Route 115B (abbreviated NH 115B) was the designation for an east–west connector between New Hampshire Route 115 and New Hampshire Route 115A, along the Israel River in Jefferson. Former NH 115B was part of NH 115 prior to the southerly relocation and improvement of that route.

NH 115B, also known as Israel's River Road, was approximately 1.5 mi long and continues across NH 115 as Valley Road, once the main route from Jefferson to Randolph and beyond. An RV campsite is located along this road.

New Hampshire Route 116

New Hampshire Route 116 (abbreviated NH 116) is a 48.605 mi north-south state highway in northern New Hampshire, United States. NH 116 is a scenic rural highway stretching from Haverhill, which lies along the Connecticut River, to Jefferson, in the White Mountains Region. The southern terminus is at NH 10 in the village of North Haverhill and the northern terminus is at U.S. Route 2, near the Santa's Village amusement park. Major intersections include Interstate 93, U.S. Route 3, and U.S. Route 302.

Route description
The southern terminus of NH 116 lies in the village of North Haverhill within the town of Haverhill at an intersection with NH 10, just to the east of the Connecticut River. Following Benton Road to the east-southeast, it passes by Dean Memorial Airport and the village of Center Haverhill, after which it turns northeast passing to the west and north of Black Mountain State Forest. Leaving Haverhill near the town's northeastern corner, it enters the town of Benton and White Mountain National Forest. In Benton it turns to a more easterly direction and is known locally as Coventry Road. Passing the village of Boutin Corner, it crosses the extreme southern corner of the town of Landaff before passing into Easton.

Shortly after entering Easton, NH 116 merges with NH 112 along Lost River Road and then leaves to the northeast along Easton Valley Road. Near the geographic center of town, it passes through a small residential area and the road turns roughly north, passing out of the White Mountain National Forest and Easton, entering the town of Franconia from the south. Within Franconia, NH 116 runs along the western edge of town along Easton Road, coming into the main village of Franconia and joining NH 18 in concurrency just before the roadway has an interchange with I-93 (exit 38). NH 116 joins NH 18 and the two routes travel west along Main Street along the north bank of the Gale River. Just before leaving Franconia is the eastern terminus of NH 117.

Entering the town of Sugar Hill, NH 116/NH 18 curves gently towards the north while sandwiched between the Gale River to the west and I-93 to the east. Crossing the northeast corner of Sugar Hill, NH 116/NH 18 and I-93 turn away from the Gale River and head northeast into the town of Bethlehem and shortly has a partial interchange with I-93 (exit 39); there is no exit from I-93 North and no entrance onto I-93 South. Crossing the historic Rocks Estate, the two routes join US 302 westbound along Main Street, just to the east of an interchange with I-93 (exit 40). After the interchange, the now three conjoined routes enter the town of Littleton.

In Littleton, the three routes follow Bethlehem Road to an intersection with Cottage Street, turning north on Cottage Street, while an interchange with I-93 (exit 41) lies just to the south. Entering the main village of Littleton along Cottage Street, they cross the Ammonoosuc River. Immediately after the bridge, US 302 and NH 18 leave to the west along Main Street while NH 116 turns east along Union Street. Following the Ammonoosuc closely along the river's northern bank, NH 116 enters Bethlehem for a second time near the town's northwestern corner, where it is known locally as Whitefield Road. Shortly before entering the town of Whitefield, the road leaves the Ammonoosuc and turns northward.

Upon entering Whitefield, NH 116 merges with NH 142, and the two routes follow Littleton Road into the main village of Whitefield. Briefly joining US 3 on a bridge across the Johns River, NH 142 leaves the concurrency at Elm Street while NH 116 leaves to the east along Jefferson Road. Following the north bank of the Johns River out of the main village, NH 116 curves to the northeast for several miles then turns back east and enters the town of Jefferson. In Jefferson, it is known as Bailey Road. Passing through the small hamlet of Bailey, there is an S-curve in the road before crossing the Israel River. NH 116 reaches its northern terminus at US 2 near the Santa's Village amusement park.
