High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The North Region of Singapore is one of the five regions in the city-state. Comprising 13,500 hectares of land area, it includes eight urban planning areas and has a population of at least 400,000. As the name implies, it is the northernmost region of the country. The relative isolation of the area from the Downtown Core meant relatively belated urban development, and the greater abundance of natural greenery. Still, the region includes Singapore's largest New town, Woodlands. Largely grouped into three new towns, it houses 129,000 residential housing units of various types, although public housing tends to dominate. Excluding naturally occurring green spaces, the region has 3 square kilometres...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Northern flying squirrel (Glaucomys sabrinus) is one of two species of the genus Glaucomys, the only flying squirrels found in North America (the other is the somewhat smaller Southern flying squirrel, G. volans).

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The road is two lanes until reaching Pineville, North Carolina. From there, the road is a four-lane divided highway and is known as Pineville-Matthews Road. The road crosses over I-485. The road "undivides" when it reaches southern Charlotte and Park Drive. The road divides again shortly after that as the road heads to NC 16 and the community of Ballantyne Commons. From there, NC 51 enters Matthews. The bypass (explained later) in 1994 allowed NC 51 to avoid downtown Matthews. With that, NC 51 has a clear shot to Presbyterian Hospital and US 74. From Pineville to this US 74 intersection, the road has left rural land and is deep in the heart of suburbia. Both towns are clogged and NC 51 often...

The Projector, 2.5 inch—more commonly known as the Northover Projector—was an ad hoc anti-tank weapon used by the British Army and Home Guard during the Second World War. With a German invasion of Great Britain seeming likely after the defeat in the Battle of France, most available weaponry was diverted to the regular British Army, leaving the Home Guard short on supplies, particularly anti-tank weaponry. The Northover Projector was designed by a Home Guard officer named Robert Harry Northover to act as a makeshift anti tank weapon, and was put into production in 1940 following a demonstration to the Prime Minister, Winston Churchill.
