New Britain

New Britain, or Niu Briten, is the largest island in the Bismarck Archipelago (named after Otto von Bismarck) of Papua New Guinea. It is separated from the island of New Guinea by the Dampier and Vitiaz Straits and from New Ireland by St. George's Channel. The main towns of New Britain are Rabaul/Kokopo and Kimbe. The island is roughly the size of Taiwan.

While the island was part of German New Guinea, it was named Neupommern ("New Pomerania").

Geography

New Britain extends from 148°18'31" to 152°23'57" E longitude and from 4°08'25" to 6°18'31" S latitude. It is crescent-shaped, approximately 520 km (320 mi) along its southeastern coastline, and from 29 to 146 km (18–91 miles) wide, not including a small central peninsula. The air-line distance from west to east is 477 km (296 mi). The island is the 38th largest in the world, with an area of 36,520 km2 (14,100 sq mi).

Steep cliffs form some sections of the coastline; in others the mountains are further inland, and the coastal area is flat and bordered by coral reefs. The highest point, at 2,438 m (7,999 ft), is Mount Sinewit in the Baining range in the east. Most of the terrain is covered with tropical rainforest and several large rivers are fed by the high rainfall.

New Britain, Connecticut

New Britain is a city in Hartford County, Connecticut, United States. It is located approximately 9 miles (14 km) southwest of Hartford. According to 2010 Census, the population of the city is 73,206.

Among the southernmost of the communities encompassed within the Hartford-Springfield Knowledge Corridor metropolitan region, New Britain is home to Central Connecticut State University and Charter Oak State College.

The city's official nickname is the "Hardware City" because of its history as a manufacturing center and as the headquarters of Stanley Black & Decker. Because of its large Polish population, the city is often playfully referred to as "New Britski."

History

New Britain was settled in 1687 and then was incorporated as a new parish under the name New Britain Society in 1754. Chartered in 1850 as a township and in 1871 as a city, New Britain had separated from the nearby town of Farmington, Connecticut. A consolidation charter was adopted in 1905.

During the early part of the 20th century, New Britain was known as the "Hardware Capital of the World", as well as "Hardware City". Major manufacturers, such as The Stanley Works, the P&F Corbin Company (later Corbin Locks), and North & Judd, were headquartered in the city.

  • New Britain Party

    New Britain was a minor British right wing political party founded by Dennis Delderfield in 1976. The party was de-registered in November 2008.

    Founding

    It was led from its creation by Dennis Delderfield, a former Common Councilman of the City of London and editor of the City of London & Dockland Times. In 1980, the party absorbed the anti-immigration United Country Party, which had been chaired by TV astronomer Patrick Moore. Around this time it also absorbed a small anti-devolution group called the Keep Britain United Party. This party had contested a single seat (Carmarthen) in the 1979 general election.

    Positions

    New Britain was described as an "avowedly racist party" by The Observer. It campaigned for the return of capital punishment, and was supported by the Christian Affirmation Campaign, a right-wing traditionalist movement opposed to what it saw as the World Council of Churches' support for Communist regimes in Africa. As a white nationalist party, it supported Apartheid and Rhodesia, and Delderfield signed a letter in 2000 that argued that "suburb after suburb and town after town across the land have been taken over by Asians, Africans and Afro-Caribbeans.... In the not too distant future they will have direct control in many areas." A 1977 election leaflet stated that "coloured immigration to this country must stop completely and immediately."

    New Britain (Canada)

    New Britain was a historical term of limited usage, referring in its day to the poorly mapped lands north of 17th-century New France. The name applied primarily to today's Nunavik and Labrador interiors, though in the 18th century this had grown to include all of the mainland shores of Hudson Bay and James Bay north of The Canadas. The district would come to be loosely divided into the territories of New South Wales, New North Wales and Labrador. The name Labrador predates mention of the other names by more than a century.

    Early exploration

    In 1612 Welsh captain Thomas Button wintered on the shores of Hudson Bay, at the mouth of the river he named the Nelson. He dubbed his encampment Port Nelson, and "the whole of the western shore New Wales." Seven years later in 1619 Captain Jens Munk of Denmark would winter nearby at the mouth of the Churchill, and named those environs Nova Denmark or New Denmark.

    The region would again be visited twelve years later in 1631 by Captains Thomas James and Luke Foxe. Supposedly Captain Foxe, upon discovering a cross erected by Button at Port Nelson, christened the shore north of the Nelson River as New North Wales, and all the lands south as New South Wales. Another account attributes the event to Captain James, while crediting Foxe with having bestowed upon the region the since-forgotten label of New Yorkshire.

    NEW PURITAN

    by: The Fall

    Hail the new puritan
    Maelstrom, cook one
    And all hard-core fiends
    Will die by me
    And all decadent sins
    Will reap discipline
    New puritan
    This is the grim reefer
    The snap at the end of the straw
    With a high grim quota
    Your star karma gin
    New puritan
    In LA the window opener switch
    Is like a dinosaur cackle
    A pterodactyl cackle
    Jet plane circle
    Over imported trees
    All the film ghosts will rise up
    With the sexually abused and the new youth
    In Britain the scream of electric pumps in a renovated pub
    Your stomach swells up before you get drunk
    Don't call me Peter I can't go
    Salem's just up the road
    I've got work to do
    Hail the new puritan
    Out of hovel-cum-coven-cum-oven
    [spoken] (right you go back to that riff)
    Hail the new puritan
    Out of hovel, cum-coven, cum-oven
    And all hard-core fiends
    Will die by me
    And all decadent sins
    Will reap discipline
    New puritan
    I curse your preoccupation
    With your record collection
    New puritan has no time
    It's only music, John
    New puritan
    Ungodly mass
    Thick ass
