Roads in the United Kingdom

Roads in the United Kingdom form a network of varied quality and capacity. Road distances are shown in miles or yards and UK speed limits are indicated in miles per hour (mph) or by the use of the national speed limit (NSL) symbol. Some vehicle categories have various lower maximum limits enforced by speed limiters. Enforcement of UK road speed limits increasingly uses speed guns, automated in-vehicle systems and automated roadside traffic cameras. A unified numbering system is in place for Great Britain, whilst in Northern Ireland, there is no available explanation for the allocation of road numbers.

The earliest specifically engineered roads were built during the British Iron Age. The road network was expanded during the Roman occupation. Some of these survive and others were lost. New roads were added in the Middle Ages and from the 17th century onwards. Whilst control has been transferred from local to central bodies and back again, current management and development of the road network is shared between local authorities, the devolved administrations of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and the Highways Agency. Certain aspects of the legal framework remain under the competence of the United Kingdom parliament.

South Wales

South Wales (Welsh: De Cymru) is the region of Wales bordered by England and the Bristol Channel to the east and south, and mid Wales and west Wales to the north and west. The most densely populated region in the southwest of the United Kingdom, it is home to around 2.2 million people. The region contains almost three-quarters of the population of Wales, including the capital city of Cardiff (population approximately 350,000), as well as Swansea and Newport, with populations approximately 240,000 and 150,000 respectively. The Brecon Beacons national park covers about a third of South Wales, containing Pen y Fan, the highest mountain south of Snowdonia.

The region is loosely defined, but it is generally considered to include the historic counties of Glamorgan and Monmouthshire, sometimes extending westwards to include Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire. In the western extent, from Swansea westwards, local people would probably recognise that they lived in both south Wales and west Wales — there is considerable overlap in these somewhat artificial boundaries. Areas to the north of the Brecon Beacons and Black Mountains are generally considered part of mid Wales.

New South Wales

New South Wales (abbreviated as NSW) is a state on the east coast of Australia. It borders Queensland to the north, Victoria to the south, South Australia to the west, the Tasman Sea to the east and surrounds the whole of the Australian Capital Territory. New South Wales' capital city is Sydney, which is also the nation's most populous city. In March 2014, the estimated population of New South Wales was 7.5 million, making it Australia's most populous state. Just under two-thirds of the state's population, 4.67 million, live in the Greater Sydney area. Inhabitants of New South Wales are referred to as New South Welshmen.

The colony of New South Wales was founded in 1788. It originally comprised a much larger area of the Australian mainland and also included Lord Howe Island, New Zealand, Norfolk Island and Van Diemen's Land. During the 19th century, large areas were separated to form the British colonies of Tasmania, South Australia, New Zealand, Victoria, Queensland and the Northern Territory (1863).

1950 New South Wales 100

The 1950 New South Wales 100 was a motor race staged at the Mount Panorama Circuit, Bathurst, New South Wales, Australia on 10 April 1950. It was organised by the Australian Sporting Car Club and was contested over 25 laps, a total distance of approximately 100 miles. The race was staged on a handicap basis with the first car, the MG J2/P of RW Fowler, scheduled to start 25 minutes before the last car, the Alta of Tony Gaze.

The race was won by Doug Whiteford driving a Ford V8 Special. Whiteford also achieved the fastest race time, for which he was awarded the New South Wales Road Racing Championship title.

    New South Wales wine

    New South Wales wine is Australian wine produced in New South Wales, Australia. New South Wales is Australia's most populous state and its wine consumption far outpaces the region's wine production. The Hunter Valley, located 130 km (81 mi) north of Sydney, is the most well-known wine region but the majority of the state's production takes place in the Big Rivers Zone-Perricoota, Riverina and along the Darling and Murray Rivers. The wines produced from the Big Rivers zone are largely used in box wine and mass-produced wine brands such as Yellow Tail. A large variety of grapes are grown in New South Wales, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Shiraz and Sémillon.

    New South Wales is the second-largest wine producing state in Australia, accounting for 30 percent of the A$5 billion Australian wine industry In 1994 the various wine regions within New South Wales agreed there was a need to form a peak lobby group to act as the conduit between industry and the New South Wales Government, and to represent New South Wales at the Federal level through the Winemakers Federation of Australia Inc. This body is the New South Wales Wine Industry Association.

    Housing at Georgetown University

    Housing at Georgetown University consists of 13 residence halls at the main campus and a law center campus. Housing on Georgetown's main campus is divided between "halls," usually more traditional dormitories, and "villages," usually less traditional apartment complexes. In addition, Georgetown operates many townhouses in the Georgetown neighborhood, usually for second, third, and fourth-year students.

    A majority of undergraduates, eighty-five percent, live on-campus. The remainder live off-campus, mostly in the Georgetown, Burleith, and Foxhall neighborhoods. On-campus housing is not available for main campus graduate students. On-campus housing at Georgetown is the second most expensive in the country as of 2010.

    Freshman housing

    Darnall Hall

    Darnall Hall provides housing for first-year students. It was built as a women-only dorm, and together with its male counterpart, Harbin Hall, cost $5.6 million. At the time Darnall opened in 1965, women were only in the school of Nursing, the School of Foreign Service and the Institute of Languages and Linguistics. It is the only Georgetown dormitory named for a woman, Eleanor Darnall, who was the mother of Georgetown University founder John Carroll and an early supporter of Catholic education in America. Darnall is one of two Georgetown dormitories located within ANC District 2E04. As a result, it has been the focus of efforts to recruit Georgetown students to run for election to this District of Columbia position.

    New South

    by: Bubba Sparxxx

    Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
    To all it was
    All it is
    And all it shall be
    New South
    Uh, yeah, yeah
    I gotta key Bubba answers, a kilo of questions
    The heart for humility, that ego perplexes
    Strength, will and honor, a hero's possessions
    On the road to destiny I need no directions
    Far to Southerners, the best man the winner
    And only this morning does the best man remember
    Fighters seen the weak, more success than inventors
    And a saint never ever suffers less than a sinner
    But I'm proud to admit that this shit no longer
    Phases or amazes me, I only grow stronger
    At any given moment this world can so long ya
    Box you up, drop you in the dirt and slow song ya
    So every blessed minute I'm breathin
    I'm conceivin, for when I do perish, reasons for your grievin
    That's not to say I plan on leavin here this evening
    I'll be in Honolulu with Steven next season
    Live die, laugh, cry,
    Life will pass by
    Breathe in, exhale
    I scream, you yell
    New South! (New South!)
    New South! (New South!)
    Ew, a ew, (break it down)
    Ew, a ew (break it down)
    And we gonna rush 'em with a blitz on this
    Go round the world and hit every other upper scale and project brick with it
    Bubba Sparxxx who meet with the Organized Godly beat
    Man it's funny how God can be when you work hard to achieve
    It's still slaw nigga (*vocal scratch*), spittin that Pac liquor
    This is straight up pocket party, your summer that not nigga
    classical rhymes got most cats tryna battle with Ken
    Bet they won't "go up shit creek without they paddle again"
    Come down to my town, bet you won't visit Athens again
    And I write that hard har, roll like I got crack in my pen
    But since your so happy that things go exactly as planned
    Don't clack if we land, then it's crack a lackin again
    Then most of these clowns up outta the pay
    All I need is a stout, clean your coolatta and day
    And the day that I'm able to finally get outta the game
    What this hip hop has become is what the New South gotta change
    Bring it back
    What difference does it make, who I'm affiliated with
    Cause if you love 'em, how could you have really hated this
    All the groundbreakin these hillbilly maders did
    Wasn't no room for +Bubba Talk+ until we made it did
    I flow for Jimmy Mathis on that bus route daily
    And for momma June and all she fuss about lately
    I'm a get it white, if your hairless for Governor
    I'm tellin y'all the yanks ain't prepared for this southerner
    C-Dub certified, DF, dignitary
    Beat Club, they applaud, New South, visionary
    In spite of the efforts y'all made to pigeon hole me
    I rose from the pig shit without a smidgen on me
    At 15, 90, Adam's drive makin miracles
    For these many much, yes and everyday is pivotal
    I'm no entertainer so what I say is literal
