Grannus was a Celtic deity of classical antiquity. Based on the etymology of his name, Grannus may have been associated with spas, thermal springs, the sun, he was identified with Apollo as Apollo Grannus. He was worshipped in conjunction with Sirona, sometimes with Mars and other deities. In the early twentieth century, the name was connected with the Irish grian, ‘sun’. Along these lines, the god was linked to the Deò-ghrèine and the character Mac Gréine of Irish mythology. However, the Irish grian, ‘sun’ is thought to be derived from Proto-Celtic *greinā ‘sun’ and the Proto-Celtic *greinā is unlikely to have developed into Grannos in Gaulish and other Continental Celtic languages. Derivation from a Proto-Celtic root *granno- ‘beard’ has enjoyed some scholarly support, from which Jürgen Zeidler dissents, proposing a different root *granno- with "probable reference to the sun's heat and healing properties". Ranko Matasović, in his Etymological Dictionary of Proto-Celtic, has tentatively proposed that the root of this theonym comes from Proto-Celtic *gwrenso-, which means "heat".

At Monthelon, Grannus is called Deus Apollo Grannus Amarcolitanus, at Horbourg-Wihr Apollo Grannus Mogounus. In all of his centres of worship where he is assimilated to a Roman god, Grannus was identified with Apollo in Apollo’s role as a healing or solar deity. In Trier, he is identified more with Phoebus as Apollo Grannus Phoebus. One of the god’s most famous cult centres was at Aquae Granni. Aachen means ‘water’ in Old High German, a calque of the Roman name of "Aquae Granni"; the town’s hot springs with temperatures between 45 °C and 75 °C lay in the somewhat inhospitably marshy area around Aachen's basin-shaped valley region. Aachen first became a curative centre in Hallstatt times. According to Cassius Dio, the Roman Emperor Caracalla unsuccessfully sought help from Apollo Grannus—as well as Aesculapius and Serapis—during a bout of physical and mental illness, visiting the god's shrine and making many votive offerings. Caracalla's visit to the shrine of ‘the Celtic healing-god’ Grannus was during the war with Germany in 213.

In the early twentieth century, the god was said to have still been remembered in a chant sung round bonfires in Auvergne, in which a grain sheaf is set on fire, called Granno mio, while the people sing, “Granno, my friend. However, granno may be a derivative of an Occitan word of Latin origin meaning "grain". A 1st century AD Latin inscription from a public fountain in Limoges mentions a Gaulish ten-night festival of Grannus: POSTVMVS DV NORIGIS F VERG AQV AM MARTIAM DECAM NOCTIACIS GRANNI D S P DTranslation: "The vergobretus Postumus son of Dumnorix gave from his own money the Aqua Martia for the ten-night festival of Grannus"; the name Grannus is sometimes accompanied by those of other deities in the inscriptions. In Augsburg, he is found with both Sirona. At Ennetach he is with Nymphs, at Faimingen with Hygieia and the Mother of the Gods, at Grand with Sol. A votive altar at Astorga invokes him after "holy Serapis" and "the many-named Isis", before "the unvanquished Core and Mars Sagatus".

The East 34th Street Ferry Landing provides slips to ferries and excursion boats on the East River in the Port of New York and New Jersey. It is located east of the FDR Drive just north of East 34th Street in Midtown Manhattan, New York City; the facility, owned by the city, received Federal Highway Administration funding for improvements for docking facilities and upgrading the adjacent East River Greenway in 2008. A new terminal building is planned. Service is provided by private operators SeaStreak and NYC Ferry, which operates a free transfer bus loop in Midtown East. There is a M34 Select Bus Service bus stop adjacent to the ferry landing; the East 34th Street Heliport is on the waterfront south of the ferry landing. A ferry crossing between Hunter's Point and 34th Street was established circa 1858 and came under the control of Long Island Rail Road. In 1905, the LIRR expanded the terminal between 33rd and 34th Streets which had five slips and was able to accommodate automobiles, is now the site of the heliport.

Service was discontinued in 1925 after numerous bridge crossings had been built. Connecting mass transit service was provided by the 34th Street Ferry elevated station, located east of First Avenue and operated from 1880 to 1930. In the 1990s several proposals and various attempts were made to restore service to landings in the vicinity of 34th Street, among them an Upper East Side – Wall Street commuter service, a short-lived shuttle to La Guardia Airport and a fast ferry to Staten Island. Restoration of the traditional Hunters Point crossing was initiated and soon abandoned by NY Waterway. By the mid-2000s New York Water Taxi was serving East 34th Street landings on the Hunters Point crossing and other routes. After a request for bids, the New York City Economic Development Corporation in 2011 awarded NY Waterway a three-year contract and a $3 million annual subsidy to operate ferry service on the East River including 34th Street. In the aftermath of infrastructure damage and service disruptions to the New York City Subway system in Queens and Brooklyn caused by Hurricane Sandy on October 29, 2012, SeaStreak began running weekday ferry service between East 34th Street and Rockaway Park, with additional stops at Pier 11 and Brooklyn Army Terminal.

Although the service proved popular, it was discontinued on October 31, 2014 when the city government declined to continue subsidizing it. SeaStreak catamarans operate daily to the Raritan Bayshore in New Jersey. After calling at Pier 11/Wall Street boats continue through The Narrows to terminals at Atlantic Highlands or Highlands. Seasonal excursions includes service to Sandy Hook, West Point, NY, Cold Spring, NY, Martha's Vineyard. New York Water Taxi operates a shuttle service for NYU Langone Hospital between 34th Street and the Brooklyn Army Terminal; this service is for hospital employees only. NYC Ferry's East River Ferry operates in both directions to Pier 11 at Wall Street, stopping at Hunters Point South in Long Island City and multiple ferry landings in northern Brooklyn, with year-round service Additionally, the Astoria Ferry runs in both directions to Pier 11 or Astoria, with year-round service; the Lower East Side Ferry operates between Long Island City and Wall Street via eastern Manhattan year-round.

Other rest areas, weigh stations, visitors centers operate independently with no access to any other facilities or destinations. I-95 intersects I-16 near Savannah. Ramps to and from the eastbound lanes of I-16 feature barrier gates to prevent traffic from entering I-16 in the wrong direction during contraflow lane reversal for hurricane evacuations; the entire length of I-95 in Georgia is part of the National Highway System, a system of routes determined to be the most important for the nation's economy and defense.

Mustacciuoli is a traditional pastry from Naples served at Christmas time. Mustaccioli takes the form of a parallelogram, consist of a soft, cake-like interior, covered in chocolate. In recent years, they are many variations of mostaccioli sold in Naples, where the chocolate glaze may be replaced by a white chocolate frosting or icing sugar and candied fruit. Mustacciolis are sold alongside other Neapolitan sweets including Roccocò, raffiuoli and struffoli at Christmastime. Neapolitan mostacciolis were mentioned by Bartolomeo Scappi, personal cook of Pope Pius V as part of his pranzo alli XVIII di ottobre; the name "mustaccioli" was thought to be related to the use of grape must in older recipes. In fact the term derives from the Latin language but not from mustum, but from mustace, that is, laurel; the mustaceum was prepared as a cake for the wedding, wrapped in mustace leaves which gave aroma during cooking. Hence the proverb loreolam in mustera quaerere, that is: to look uselessly in the focaccia for burnt bay leaves.'Nzuddha: version in Calabria Mustazzoli: version in Salento
