Turia (river)
The Turia or Túria ( ca-valencia, Riu Túria ; es, link=no, Río Turia ; la, Tūria) is a river in Spain, which has its source in the Montes Universales in the mountain ranges of the northwesternmost end of the Sistema Ibérico, Teruel province. From its source to roughly the city of Teruel, it is called ''Guadalaviar'' river. It runs through the provinces of Teruel, Cuenca and Valencia, and discharges into the Mediterranean Sea near the city of Valencia. The river formerly ran through the center of the city but was diverted south of the city to prevent flooding. Name The Latin name ''Tūria'' (also recorded as ''Tyrius'') has been connected with the Celtic root *''dubr-'', "river"; the river would thus share a root with the Douro. Diversion project The river is notorious for its floods. The flood which occurred on 14 October 1957, known as the Great Flood of Valencia, flooded large parts of the city of Valencia, and caused a great deal of damage to both life and prop ...

Curia (wife Of Quintus Lucretius)
In '' De mulieribus claris'' Curia (ca. 60 BC – 5 BC) was a Roman woman, and the wife of Quintus Lucretius Vespillo. The name "Curia" is possibly derived from the nomen ''Curius''. Life Curia and Quintus were married sometime between 49 BC and 42 BC, and remained married for 40 years. During the time of the Second Triumvirate (43–32 BC), Quintus Lucretius was named as one of several proscribed Roman citizens. Rather than turn him away or submit to his banishment, Curia hid her husband in their own home. She seems to have been so successful in her secrecy that it is noted that not even close friends of relatives ever suspected that he was still in Rome – the only one savvy to this deception was a young woman - most likely, an enslaved woman ('' ancilla'') - who seems to have aided Curia during this time. Publicly, Curia presented herself as a grieving, distraught wife – she wore old, “unkept” clothes, appeared disheveled, and perhaps even acted crazed as though her gri ...

Turia Mau
This is the chronological history of cover models for the ''Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue''. The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue has grown from being an issue of ''Sports Illustrated'' magazine created to fill space at a time of year with little sports news into a major marketing franchise that includes a special separate issue, a website, television specials, calendars, books and enormous amounts of advertising. It began as a short photo spread of women in bathing suits and has become a fashion issue for beachwear worn by the world's top models. Being the subject of the ''Sports Illustrated'' magazine cover is a well chronicled event which has both become a measure by which fame is measured and a status which is supposedly accompanied by a curse known as the "SI jinx". There seems to have been no reports of any association of the SI jinx with the swimsuit issue. There is a lot of public interest in who is on the cover of fashion magazines with websites dedicated to ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
