Scotia
Scotia is a Latin placename derived from ''Scoti'', a Latin name for the Gaels, first attested in the late 3rd century.Duffy, Seán. ''Medieval Ireland: An Encyclopedia''. Routledge, 2005. p. 698. The Romans referred to Ireland as "Scotia" around 500 A.D. From the 9th century on, its meaning gradually shifted, so that it came to mean only the part of Britain lying north of the Firth of Forth: the Kingdom of Scotland. By the later Middle Ages it had become the fixed Latin term for what in English is called Scotland. Etymology and derivations The name of ''Scotland'' is derived from the Latin ''Scotia''. The word ''Scoti'' (or ''Scotti'') was first used by the Romans. It is found in Latin texts from the 4th century describing an Irish group that raided Roman Britain. It came to be applied to all Gaels. It is not believed that any Gaelic groups called themselves ''Scoti'' in ancient times, except when writing in Latin. Old Irish documents use the term ''Scot'' (plural ''Scuit'') g ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

North Preston's Finest, also known as NPF, the Scotians, or the North Preston gang,Perrin (2010), p. 114. is a gang of pimps based in North Preston, a satellite of Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada. History The town of North Preston has a population of 3,700, and is located just northeast of Metropolitan Halifax. Benjamin Perrin, a University of British Columbia faculty member who is involved with human trafficking research and activism, wrote extensively about NPF in his 2010 book '' Invisible Chains'', calling North Preston "a place of Shakespearean irony" because of the town's conversion from a sanctuary for Black Loyalists (former American slaves) in the 1780s into the hub of a major gang that deals in modern-day slavery and drug and arms trafficking.Perrin (2010), p. 112.

The Scotian (train)
The ''Scotian'' was a named Canadian passenger train service that ran between Montreal, Quebec, and Halifax, Nova Scotia, and was operated by Canadian National Railways and later Via Rail Canada. The ''Scotian's'' inaugural run was March 16, 1941. Whereas the '' Ocean Limited,'' which ran the same route, was an express train with few stops (as the " limited" name suggested) the ''Scotian'' serviced many more communities between the two cities. History Discontinuance In 1978, Via Rail took control of CN passenger service and began negotiations with Canadian Pacific Railway to obtain their passenger service. The takeover was complete by the summer of 1979. The decision was made to discontinue the ''Scotian'' and replace it with the ''Atlantic'' which Canadian Pacific routed through the United States. The ''Atlantic'' used the original train numbers (11 and 12) of the ''Scotian''. Via Rail also added two new trains to supplement the ''Ocean'' with local service on parts of the ' ...

Molding (decorative)
Moulding (British English), or molding (American English), also coving (in United Kingdom, Australia), is a strip of material with various profiles used to cover transitions between surfaces or for decoration. It is traditionally made from solid milled wood or plaster, but may be of plastic or reformed wood. In classical architecture and sculpture, the moulding is often carved in marble or other stones. In historic architecture, and some expensive modern buildings, it may be formed in place with plaster. A "plain" moulding has right-angled upper and lower edges. A "sprung" moulding has upper and lower edges that bevel towards its rear, allowing mounting between two non-parallel planes (such as a wall and a ceiling), with an open space behind. Mouldings may be decorated with paterae as long, uninterrupted elements may be boring for eyes. Types Decorative mouldings have been made of wood, stone and cement.
