-
- The Underground Railroad was a network of secret routes and safe houses used by nineteenth-century slaves to escape to free states and Canada.
- Some routes led to Mexico or overseas.
- Escaped slaves would move north along
the route from one way station to the next.
- Additionally,
because many freedom seekers could
not read, visual and audible clues such as patterns in quilts, song lyrics, and
star positions provided directional cues along the way.
- Due
to the risk of discovery, information about routes and safe havens was passed
along by word of mouth.

- Routing is the process of selecting paths in a network along which to send network traffic.
- Routing is the process of selecting paths in a network along which to send network traffic.
- This chapter focuses on the role of routing in transportation networks.
- This includes frequency, routes, and contracting of goods.
- These routes can be analyzed to determine if they can be eliminated, divided, and/or merged with other routes, or if finding a new route can help make the route more efficient.

- Young prince Henry the Navigator was there and became aware of profit possibilities in the Trans-Saharan trade routes .
- For centuries slave and gold trade routes linking West Africa with the Mediterranean passed over the Western Sahara Desert, controlled by the moors of North Africa.
- They were astronomical charts plotting the location of the stars over a distinct period of time.
- Simultaneously, an explorer by the name of Pêro da Covilhã had reached Ethiopia by land and collected important information about the Red Sea and Quenia coast - suggesting that a sea route to the Indies would soon be forthcoming.
- Portuguese explorer Prince Henry, known as the Navigator, was the first European to methodically explore Africa and the oceanic route to the Indies.
-
- The inexperienced U.S. militia, which had congregated in Maryland to protect the capital, was routed in the Battle of Bladensburg, opening the route to Washington.
- The defense of the fort inspired the American lawyer Francis Scott Key to write a poem that would eventually provide the lyrics to "The Star-Spangled Banner."
- A contemporary rendering of the engagement that provided the inspiration for "The Star-Spangled Banner."
-
- Energy Star labels) is just one example of how legislation can help inform consumers about cost and energy savings while increasing the demand for environmentally friendly goods.
- A ‘route map' for improving the efficiency of new buildings with the aim of reducing carbon emissions is also being considered.
-
- Astrocytes are shaped like a star and are the most abundant glial cell in the CNS.
- A single axon routes the nerve impulse from the cell body to another neuron or an effector organ.
-
- Echinoderms consist of five distinct classes: sea stars, sea cucumbers, sea urchins and sand dollars, brittle stars, and sea lillies.
- The phylum echinoderms is divided into five extant classes: Asteroidea (sea stars), Ophiuroidea (brittle stars), Echinoidea (sea urchins and sand dollars), Crinoidea (sea lilies or feather stars), and Holothuroidea (sea cucumbers).
- Brittle stars belong to the class Ophiuroidea.
- Unlike sea stars, which have plump arms, brittle stars have long, thin arms that are sharply demarcated from the central disk.
- Sea lilies and feather stars are examples of Crinoidea.
-
- All the obvious disadvantages of public list discussions will loom palpably in front of you: the delay inherent in email conversations, the need to leave sufficient time for consensus to form, the hassle of dealing with naive volunteers who think they understand all the issues but actually don't (every project has these; sometimes they're next year's star contributors, sometimes they stay naive forever), the person who can't understand why you only want to solve problem X when it's obviously a subset of larger problem Y, and so on.
- So we took the lazy route and started batting some technical ideas back and forth in private emails, until an observer of the project caught wind of what was happening and asked for the discussion to be moved to the public list.
