Prudhoe Bay or Sagavanirktok is a census-designated place located in North Slope Borough in the U. S. state of Alaska. As of the 2010 census, the population of the CDP was 2,174 people, up from just 5 residents in 2000; the airport and general store are located at Deadhorse. It is only during winter that the surface is hard enough to support heavy equipment, new construction happens at that time. Prudhoe Bay is the unofficial northern terminus of the Pan-American Highway; the Bay itself is still 10 miles further north than a security checkpoint so open water is not visible from the highway. A few tourists, arriving by bus after a two-day ride up the Dalton Highway from Fairbanks, come to see the tundra, the Arctic Ocean, the midnight sun, staying in lodgings assembled from modular buildings. Tours must be arranged in advance to see the Bay itself. Prudhoe Bay was named in 1826 by British explorer Sir John Franklin after his classmate Captain Algernon Percy, Baron Prudhoe. Franklin traveled westerly along the coast from the mouth of the Mackenzie River in Canada to Point Barrow.

Prudhoe Bay is located at 70°19′32″N 148°42′41″W. According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 558.0 square miles of which, 416.3 square miles is land and 141.8 square miles is water. The total area is 25.40% water. Prudhoe Bay, along with similar communities on the North shore of Alaska, features a Tundra climate. Winters are long cold and due to its location above the Arctic Circle, some weeks in winter feature days with a never rising sun. Summers, while bringing long daylight hours, are still cold with temperatures just above freezing. Prudhoe Bay first appeared on the 1970 U. S. Census as an unincorporated village, it was made a census-designated place in 1980. As of the 2010 United States Census, there were 2,174 people living in the CDP; the racial makeup of the CDP was 83.0% White, 1.9% Black, 7.5% Native American, 1.5% Asian, 0.1% Pacific Islander, 0.3% from some other race and 1.6% from two or more races. 4.0 % were Latino of any race. Prudhoe Bay is adjacent to the largest oil field in the United States.

Prudhoe Bay is classified as an isolated town/sub-regional center. It is found in EMS Region 6A in the North Slope Region. Emergency services have limited highway and airport access. Emergency service is provided by a paid emergency medical services unit and Fairweather Deadhorse Medical Clinic. Auxiliary health care is provided by oil company medical staff and the Greater Prudhoe Bay Fire Dept. Individuals requiring hospital care are transported to the nearest hospital/medical center, Sammuel Simmonds Memorial Hospital, in Utqiaġvik, Alaska; because no roads connect Prudhoe Bay to Utqiaġvik, individuals are transported by helicopter or air ambulance. 2006 Alaskan oil spill Alaska Pipeline Ice Road Truckers Media related to Prudhoe Bay, Alaska at Wikimedia Commons Prudhoe Bay information website

In the run up to the 2016 parliamentary elections in the Serbia, various organisations carried out opinion polling to gauge voting intention in Serbia. Results of such polls are displayed in this article; the date range for these opinion polls range from the previous parliamentary election, held on 16 March 2014, to the 2016 election, held on 24 April 2016. Most opinion polls predicted that the SNS was going to fare around 50%, while their partners in the ruling coalition SPS were stable at above 10%. Serbian Radical Party, strengthened by the return of their leader Vojislav Šešelj from the Hague Tribunal, seemed the only party certain to make it to the Parliament with the support of 6–8% polled, while all other major lists undulated around the 5% threshold. Poll results are listed in the tables below in reverse chronological order, showing the most recent first, using the date the survey's fieldwork was done, as opposed to the date of publication. If such date is unknown, the date of publication is given instead.

The highest percentage figure in each polling survey is displayed in bold, the background shaded in the leading party's colour. In the instance that there is a tie no figure is shaded; the lead column on the right shows the percentage-point difference between the two parties with the highest figures. When a specific poll does not show a data figure for a party, the party's cell corresponding to that poll is shown empty

It is 79 inches in height, has a ride height of 16 inches; the ALSV can accelerate from 0 to 30 miles per hour in 4 seconds, is capable of negotiating up to 75% gradients and 50% side slopes. The main weapons station, positioned to the rear of the vehicle, is capable of traversing 360 degrees and can accommodate either a M2 Browning machine gun or a Mk 19 grenade launcher. Light machine guns and portable anti-tank weapons may be carried as secondary armament; the weapons platforms can be remote controlled and feature gun stabilizing, allowing accurate fire while on the move. The ALSV has been used by the United States Navy SEALs in Afghanistan. Prior to this, both the SEALs and the United States Marine Corps had used the vehicle during Operation Desert Storm. ALSVs have been procured by Jordan and the United Arab Emirates.

Yvonand is a municipality in the district of Jura-Nord Vaudois of the canton of Vaud in Switzerland. Located on the southwestern shore of Lake Neuchâtel the village has a population of 2,500 which may rise to 7,000 in summer, due to the popularity of the sandy beaches, which shelve into the lake.
