The Irish War of Independence (Irish: Cogadh na Saoirse), also known as the Anglo–Irish War, began in January 1919 as a guerrilla war waged by the Irish Republican Army (IRA) against the British Government. Ireland was formally a part of the United Kingdom as a result of the passing of the Acts of Union in 1800. In the late-nineteenth century, the Irish Parliamentary Party, led by Charles Stewart Parnell (1846–1891), advocated home rule for Ireland through cooperation with the Liberal Party in the English Parliament, but it was unsuccessful until the Third Home Rule Bill of 1912. This bill provoked Unionists in the north of Ireland to form the Ulster Volunteers, who feared a predominantly Catholic Irish Parliament in Dublin. In response, Nationalists formed the Irish Volunteers. The Third Home Rule Bill never took effect because of the outbreak of World War I; Irish troops fought with England in the war with the promise that home rule would be granted at the conflict’s end.

In a letter to a friend in the United States dated May 16, 1969, a leading Colombian sociologist declared:I have been trying to disattach myself from portions of the North American heritage which I had received, and with which I find myself increasingly at odds. For this reason, I cannot identify myself with any institution of the United States that would uphold or sustain the present economic and social policies pursued toward the Nations of the Third World.

Recent research on the interconnection of starred angle compression members has indicated that the requirements for the interconnection of such members as contained in North American standards are not adequate. It was also determined that the North American and European standards vary greatly in their requirements for the interconnection of double angles. As a result, concern was expressed with regard to the requirements for the interconnection of boxed angles.A total of 27 boxed angle compression members were tested. The slenderness ratio, size of angles, and number of interconnectors were varied. The failure load and failure mode were noted for each specimen.This paper recommends that two interconnectors be used, one at each of the third points, in all boxed angle compression members. Key words: angles, buckling, building (codes), columns (structural), design interconnection, boxed angle.

Three tectonostratigraphic successions are established from remapping of the area near Barkerville and Cariboo River. The first, of Late Proterozoic to Cambrian sediments, was deposited on the shallow to moderately deep platformal shelf west of and derived from the exposed North American craton. The second is an unconformably overlying Ordovician to Permian sequence of sedimentary and volcanic rocks representing a basinal environment with periodic highs. These packages of sediments were deposited on the North American craton and its western transitional extensions. The third succession, composed of oceanic chert and basalt of the Permo-Pennsylvanian Antler Formation, was thrust eastward over the other two during the early Mesozoic. The three successions were folded, faulted, and metamorphosed during the mid-Mesozoic Columbian Orogeny. The Devono-Mississippian Cariboo Orogeny, which was thought to have affected all of the first sequence and part of the second, could not be documented in its type locality. The geology of the Barkerville – Cariboo River area has many similarities with that of Selwyn Basin and Cassiar platform of northern British Columbia and Yukon.

The name Linnaemya has been used in America and to a lesser extent in Europe for a collection of rather distinct elements linked together by the following characters:Large robust forms, 8-15 mm. long; eyes densely haired; antennae large, the third segment truncate at the tip; second aristal segment somewhat elongate; palpi reduced in length, as long as the second antennal segment or reduced to mere papillae; epistoma strongly warped forward, the antennal and oral margin axes about the same length; bend of the fourth vein with a strong appendage, the apical cell open far before the wing tip; abdomen stout, bearing at least one pair of discal bristles on the intermediate segments.

The requirements for the interconnection of starred angle compression members contained in North American standards vary greatly from those of European standards. The North American standards, which require only one interconnector for any starred angle made with equal leg angles, are the most liberal. The British standard, on the other hand, is the most conservative.A theoretical study of "slender" starred angles indicates that the buckled shape changes when the number of interconnectors is increased from one to two. There is a corresponding increase in the critical load. The addition of more than two interconnectors has no significant effect on the critical load. An extensive experimental program verified these results. The experimental program also included starred angles that could be classed as being of "intermediate" length.The paper recommends that two interconnectors be used, one at each of the third points, in all starred angle compression members made with equal leg angles. Key words: angles, buckling, building (codes), columns (structural), design, interconnector, starred angle.
