Novara [noˈvaːra] listen (Nuàra in the local Lombard dialect) is the capital city of the province of Novara in the Piedmont region in northwest Italy, to the west of Milan. With about 105,000 inhabitants, it is the second most populous city in Piedmont after Turin. It is an important crossroads for commercial traffic along the routes from Milan to Turin and from Genoa to Switzerland. Novara lies between the rivers Agogna and Terdoppio in northeastern Piedmont, 50 kilometres (31 mi) from Milan and 95 kilometres (59 mi) from Turin.
Novara was founded in ancient times by the Romans. Its name is formed from Nov, meaning "new", and Aria, the name the Cisalpine Gauls used for the surrounding region.
Ancient Novaria, which dates to the time of the Ligures and the Celts, was a municipium and was situated on the road from Vercellae (Vercelli) to (Mediolanum) Milan. Its position on perpendicular roads (still intact today) dates to the time of the Romans. After the city was destroyed in 386 by Magnus Maximus for having supported his rival Valentinian II, it was rebuilt by Theodosius I. Subsequently, it was sacked by Radagaisus (in 405) and Attila (in 452).
Novara is the private label brand of bicycles and bicycle accessories sold by the American consumers’ cooperative REI. The brand was introduced in 1983 and is headquartered in Kent, Washington. Novara bikes are designed in house but are manufactured by Fairly Bicycle Manufacturing, a company based in Taiwan; the bicycles are then finished by REI.
The Novara brand is also used for REI's line of cycling clothing and accessories.
Since 2008, REI has settled both in and out of court with an undisclosed number individuals who were riding Novara bikes that fell apart while they were in use, resulting in serious injuries. KOMO 4 News has reported on these cases.

This is a list of craters on Mars. There are hundreds of thousands of impact crater on Mars, but only some of them have names. This list here only contains named Martian craters starting with the letter H – N (see also lists for A – G and O – Z).
Large Martian craters (greater than 60 km in diameter) are named after famous scientists and science fiction authors; smaller ones (less than 60 km in diameter) get their names from towns on Earth. Craters cannot be named for living people, and small crater names are not intended to be commemorative - that is, a small crater isn't actually named after a specific town on Earth, but rather its name comes at random from a pool of terrestrial place names, with some exceptions made for craters near landing sites. Latitude and longitude are given as planetographic coordinates with west longitude.
Mother I've lost my way
Oh mother I'm being hunted
By ghosts with pointy beaks
To catch me and wrap me up in their sheets
This is the sharpest place in the world
I get cut every which way I turn
And if somewhere I've lost my way
And if somewhere I lost my way
At night when I think they're asleep
I run out and I hide in a tree
The moon comes up over my head
It taunts me and I long for my bed
This is the sharpest place in the world
I get cut every which way I turn
And if somewhere I've lost my way
And if somewhere I lost my way
This is the sharpest place in the world
I get cut every which way I turn
And if somewhere I've lost my way
