“…After the repeal on the 'taxes on knowledge' in the 1850s and 1860s, the provincial press proliferated; its readership expanded as did the number of titles, trumping the London-based press in size. Despite this plethora of available materials, to date historians have mostly favored the Metropolitan papers at the expense of the local press, which remains largely understudied (Beelen, Lawrence, Wilson, & Beavan, under submission;Hobbs, 2018). As shown in Lieberman, Samet, andSankaranarayanan (2010) andColl Ardanuy et al (2019), the distribution of places mentioned in newspapers varies considerably depending on their intended audience (grounded in a certain place and time), hindering the resolution of ambiguous place names.…”

We present a new dataset for the task of toponym resolution in digitized historical newspapers in English. It consists of 343 annotated articles from newspapers based in four different locations in England (Manchester, Ashton-under-Lyne, Poole and Dorchester), published between 1780 and 1870. The articles have been manually annotated with mentions of places, which are linked-whenever possible-to their corresponding entry on Wikipedia. The dataset consists of 3,364 annotated toponyms, of which 2,784 have been provided with a link to Wikipedia. The dataset is published in the British Library shared research repository, and is especially of interest to researchers working on improving semantic access to historical newspaper content.

“…This setting can reduce or eliminate conflict points at intersections by separating the movement of traffic flows at different times. Hobbs (1979) explains that the tabs of junction capacity in all conditions are impossible to implement and often the capacity at the track is more comprehensive than the capacity of the closed area. However, road meetings will largely secermine the limits of capacity and security of the entire track.…”

“…Transportation problem is one of the problems facing Makassar City. One of the important factors in the effort towards a good transportation infrastructure system is the ability of road performance, especially the performance of the intersection as one part of the road system as a whole [1]- [5]. Problems of congestion and queue in Makassar city generally occur at intersections (either signaled or unmarked intersections), especially in the area before or after the intersection [7].…”

The problems of congestion and queuing in Makassar city generally occur at the intersection. One of the intersections in Makassar City that experienced the problem is St. Dr. Ratulangi -St. Lanto Dg. Pasewang -St. Kasuawri. This study was conducted to analyze the junction of the berignal by the method Indonesian Road Capacity Manual (MKJI1997), it is necessary to review the characteristics and composition of the traffic so that it can be calculated the level of saturation and service level of each approach at the intersection, as well as the amount of delay that occurs. The data used for the analysis is obtained by primary data collection and secondary data collection in accordance with the needs of the research. Data analysis begins with the secermination of field conditions, traffic flow, capacity and degree of saturation, and traffic behavior.The maximum saturation value (DS) for each approach is the SOUTH DRAFT. Ratulangi of 1.071259 WEST approach of Street Kasuawri equal to 0,74914776, NORTH approach of St. Dr. Ratulangi of 1.112907, and EASTERN approach of St. Lanto Dg. Passing for 1.11291. Traffic performance / Level Of Service (LOS) is obtained by looking at the Average Pausage value. From the analysis result got average delay of intersection that is 82,407 sec / Vehicle to get Level of Service that is LOSE.

“…As distinct from the talk delivered as the Warton Lecture, I have chosen to focus the second half of this essay in-depth on two individuals discussed in that talk, rather than moving between a larger number of examples but with brief attention to each. My arguments throughout rest on the foundational scholarship on working-class poetic cultures produced by Martha Vicinus (1974), Brian Maidment (1987), Florence Boos (2008), Michael Sanders (2009) (co-investigator on this project), Andrew Hobbs (2012Hobbs ( , 2019, and others, and on the recent findings of related projects, such as Simon Rennie's 'The Poetry of the Cotton Famine'. 1 As these scholars have demonstrated, and as I argue myself elsewhere, working-class poets in Scotland and the North of England wrote poetry for many reasons.…”

This article discusses some preliminary findings from the collaborative AHRC-funded research project 'Piston, Pen & Press: Literary Cultures in the Industrial Workplace'. It uses examples of Scottish poets, and detailed study of two writers who were factory workers from the Bradford and Keighley area in Yorkshire, to argue that Victorian industrial workers were highly engaged with cultures of poetic production and deployed verse for a variety of political, social, and personal ends.
