Nova Scotia

Nova Scotia (Latin for "New Scotland", pronounced in English as /ˌnoʊvə ˈskoʊʃə/) (French: Nouvelle-Écosse; Scottish Gaelic: Alba Nuadh; Scots: New Alba) is one of Canada's three Maritime provinces, and one of the four provinces which form Atlantic Canada. Its provincial capital is Halifax. Nova Scotia is the second-smallest province in Canada, with an area of 55,284 square kilometres (21,300 sq mi), including Cape Breton and another 3,800 coastal islands. As of 2011, the population was 921,727, making Nova Scotia the second-most-densely populated province in Canada.

Etymology

Nova Scotia means New Scotland in Latin and is the recognized English language name for the province. In Scottish Gaelic, the province is called Alba Nuadh, which also simply means New Scotland. The province was first named in the 1621 Royal Charter granting the right to settle lands including modern Nova Scotia, Cape Breton Island, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick and the Gaspé Peninsula to Sir William Alexander in 1632.

Nova Scotia (album)

Nova Scotia is the third album by Cousteau, released in 2005 on the Endeavour record label. It was subsequently released in the U.S. under the band name 'Moreau' due to legal reasons on the One Little Indian label with two additional tracks (*). The US release also featured new artwork.

Davey Ray Moor had previously left the band leaving the main song writing duties to be taken over by lead singer Liam McKahey. "We thought it was the end and we were all feeling really emotional," says McKahey of Moor's departure. "But after a few pints, we'd decided to carry on and do it (the songwriting) ourselves. It was sink or swim, and we decided to swim."

Maryland Route 344

Maryland Route 344 (MD 344) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland. Known as Chicamuxen Road, the state highway runs 2.16 miles (3.48 km) from MD 6 in Doncaster north to MD 224 near Chicamuxen. A connector between MD 6 and MD 224 in western Charles County, MD 344 was originally the southernmost part of MD 224. When MD 224 was rerouted to the west in the mid-1950s, MD 344 was assigned to its present course.

Route description

MD 344 begins at an intersection with MD 6 (Port Tobacco Road) in the hamlet of Doncaster. County-maintained Gilroy Road is the south leg of the four-way intersection. The state highway heads northwest as a two-lane road through farmland and forest. MD 344 reaches its northern terminus at a T-intersection with MD 224 near Chicamuxen. Northbound MD 224 north heads straight as Chicamuxen Road while southbound MD 224 heads west from the intersection as Riverside Road.

History

The highway to which MD 344 is now assigned was originally the southern end of MD 224, which extended north to the District of Columbia in Forest Heights. The Doncaster–Chicamuxen portion of MD 224 was constructed in 1930. When MD 224 was placed onto Riverside Road south to Riverside in 1957, MD 344 was assigned to the portion of Chicamuxen Road south of the MD 224–MD 344 intersection.
