Cartimandua or Cartismandua was a 1st-century queen of the Brigantes, a Celtic people living in what is now northern England. She came to power around the time of the Roman conquest of Britain, formed a large tribal agglomeration that became loyal to Rome; the only account of her is by the Roman historian Tacitus, through which she appears to have been influential in early Roman Britain. Her name may be a compound of the Common Celtic roots *carti- "chase, send" and *mandu- "pony". Although Cartimandua is first mentioned by Tacitus as in 51, her rule over the Brigantes may have been established when the Roman emperor Claudius began the organised conquest of Britain in 43: she may have been one of the eleven "kings" who Claudius's triumphal arch says surrendered without a fight. If not, she may have come to power after a revolt of a faction of the Brigantes was defeated by Publius Ostorius Scapula in 48. Being of "illustrious birth", according to Tacitus, Cartimandua inherited her power, as she does not appear to have obtained it through marriage.

She and her husband, are described by Tacitus as loyal to Rome and "defended by our arms". In 51, the British resistance leader Caratacus sought sanctuary with Cartimandua after being defeated by Ostorius Scapula in Wales, but Cartimandua handed him over to the Romans in chains. Having given Claudius the greatest exhibit of his triumph, Cartimandua was rewarded with great wealth, she divorced Venutius, replacing him with his armour-bearer, Vellocatus. In 57, although Cartimandua had seized his brother and other relatives and held them hostage, Venutius made war against her and against her Roman protectors, he built alliances outside the Brigantes, during the governorship of Aulus Didius Gallus he staged an invasion of the kingdom of the Brigantes. The Romans had sent some cohorts to defend their client queen; the fighting was inconclusive until Caesius Nasica arrived with a legion, the IX Hispana, defeated the rebels. Cartimandua retained the throne thanks to prompt military support from Roman forces.

She was not so fortunate in 69. Taking advantage of Roman instability during the year of four emperors, Venutius staged another revolt, again with help from other nations. Cartimandua appealed for troops from the Romans. Cartimandua was evacuated. After this, Cartimandua disappears from the sources. In his Annals and the Histories, Tacitus presents Cartimandua in a negative light. Although he refers to her loyalty to Rome, he invites the reader to judge her "treacherous" role in the capture of Caratacus, who had sought her protection. However, he consistently names her as a queen, the only one such known in early Roman Britain. Boudica, the only other female British leader of the period, is not described in these terms. One of the mediaeval Welsh triads mentions "treachery" against Caratacus by one Aregwedd Foeddawg whom some identify with Cartimandua: in a garbled account, Caradoc is made a son of Brân the Blessed, named as one of the "Three Blessed Kings" for introducing Christianity to the Britons after captivity in Rome.

Cartimandua's life story is fictionalised in Barbara Erskine's novel Daughters of Fire and she plays a minor but important role in George Shipway's The Imperial Governor as the lover and ally of General Suetonius Paulinus. She is mentioned in passing in Lindsey Davis's novel The Jupiter Myth, set during the governorship of Sextus Julius Frontinus, dealing with the aftermath of the Brigantes' revolt, she is mentioned in "I, Claudius" the TV mini-series. Claudius urges his son Britannicus to go to Britain to hide in the court of Cartimandua to avoid Nero. Delamarre, Xavier. Dictionnaire de la Langue Gauloise, Editions Errance.

The Uinta Highline Trail is a trail in the Uinta Mountains of Utah that traverses the range 104 miles from east to west. The trail passes through expansive alpine landscapes dominated by metasedimentary rocks sculptured by past glaciers; the broad glacial basins are dotted by hundreds of lakes. The Uinta Highline Trail extends 104 miles along the east-west oriented crest of the Uinta Mountains; the eastern terminus is at McKee Draw along U. S. Route 191, between Vernal; the western terminus is at Hayden Pass near Mirror Lake on Utah Route 150. The trail crosses eight named passes that exceed 11,200 feet elevation and many other smaller saddles and ridges. Between these high points, the trail drops into glacially carved basins and valleys; the high point of the trail is at Anderson Pass, Kings Peak, the high point of Utah, is located just 0.7 miles south of the pass. Altogether, there is 16,700 feet of elevation gain and 14,600 feet of elevation loss on an east-to-west trip; the average elevation of the trail is 10,700 feet.

The Uinta Highline Trail passes through a mosaic of forests, subalpine meadows, alpine tundra, rock and snow fields, but the striking character of the trail is its openness and expansive views—treeless terrain accounts for over half the distance of the trail. The trail is designated as Trail 025 for the 96 miles it passes through the Ashley National Forest and Trail 083 for the 8 miles it passes through the Wasatch-Cache National Forest, with Rocky Sea Pass being the dividing line. Over half the route is located in the High Uintas Wilderness where travel is limited to those on foot and horseback; the Uinta Highline can be hiked in either direction, but hikers of its entire 104-mile length more hike east to west. The trail starts at the Highline Trailhead in McKee Draw, just 0.5 miles west of U. S. Highway 191 on Forest Road 062. A vault toilet and parking area are at the trailhead; the first 25 miles of trail pass through forest and subalpine meadows, there can be limited sources of water late in the season.

After crossing Little Brush Creek at mile 4.3, the next source of water may be over 20 miles away near Leidy Peak. There, Hacking Lake is a short hike off the trail. From Leidy Peak westward, the trail crosses long stretches of alpine tundra, rocky passes, subalpine forests. Numerous lakes and streams serve as water sources; the trail ends at the Highline Trailhead at Hayden Pass on the Mirror Lake Scenic Byway. A vault toilet and parking area are located at the trailhead; this is a busy trailhead on summer weekends, is within a federal fee area requiring a day pass or an annual America the Beautiful Pass. The Uinta Highline Trail passes two additional trailheads. Both are reached by gravel roads; the Leidy Peak trailhead is at mile 25. The Chepeta Lake trailhead is at mile 38. Starting at one of these trailheads shortens the westward hike to Hayden Pass to 79 miles or 66 miles, respectively. In the past some users have chosen to shorten the distance traveled due to the unmaintained condition of the far eastern portion of the trail.

However, since 2013 the trail from US Highway 191 to Leidy Peak has been improved through the efforts of volunteers from Vernal, Utah. There is no permit required to hike the Uinta Highline Trail; the Uinta Highline Trail has a primitive character. In places, the trail lacks tread and is a route marked with occasional cairns, posts, or signs; this can have the necessary navigation skills.

From 1924 to 1929 he conducted a major study of the British herring shoals, he was a strong supporter of the Sea-Fishing Industry Act of 1933. He was born on 22 September 1890 in Hove on the southern English coast, the son of George Horace Ford. Ebb was educated at Varndean School at Brighton College for two years before going to Imperial College London to study Science under Clifford Dobell, he specialised in marine zoology. He did research as a Huxley Scholar and was awarded the Sarah Marshall Exhibition in 1913. In the same year he was given the post of Assistant Naturalist at the Plymouth Laboratory; as with many of his generation his plans were disrupted by the outbreak of the First World War.

Ultimi giorni di Pompei, Gli is a 1913 Italian black and white silent film directed by Mario Caserini and Eleuterio Rodolfi. Based on Edward Bulwer-Lytton's 1834 novel of the same name, the film – one of two different adaptations of the same book in Italy that year – is set during the final days leading up to the Mount Vesuvius eruption in Pompeii in 79 AD. In Pompeii 79AD, Glaucus and Jone are in love with each other. Arbaces, the Egyptian High Priest, is determined to conquer her. Glaucus buys the blind slave Nydia, mishandled by her owner. Nydia asks Arbaces for his help, he gives her a potion to make Glaucus fall in love with him. In fact it is a poison. Arbaces' disciple Apoecides threatens to reveal publicly his wrongdoings. Arbaces accuses Glaucus of the crime, he locks Nydia in a cellar to prevent her from speaking. Glaucus is condemned to be thrown to the lions. Nydia tells Glaucus' friend Claudius what happened. Claudius rushes to the Circus to accuse Arbaces and the crowd decides that Arbaces and not Glaucus should be thrown to the lions.

Vesuvius starts erupting and a widespread panic ensues. Under the shock, Glaucus recovers his mind. Blind Nydia, the only one to find her way in the darkness caused by the rain of ashes, leads Glaucus and Jone to safety and finds peace by drowning herself. Fernanda Negri Pouget as Nydia Eugenia Tettoni Fior as Jone Ubaldo Stefani as Glaucus Antonio Grisanti as Arbaces Cesare Gani Carini as Apoecides Vitale Di Stefano as Claudius The film was produced by Società Anonima Ambrosio; the DVD release by Kino wrongfully credits Pasquali for the production. The direction was done by Eleuterio Rodolfi. Mario Caserini is sometimes co-credited, but the grounds for this are uncertain: The Italian Bianco e Nero magazine mentions only Rodolfi; the film was distributed by Giuseppe Barattolo. It was distributed in the US by the Kleine Optical Company under the name George Kleine Attractions; the Last Days of Pompeii was the first film shown in the newly founded city of Tel Aviv in Ottoman Palestine. It inaugurated the Eden Cinema, the first one opened in Tel Aviv..
