Individual riding on time

-

Individual time trial (colloquial: individual time trial) - competition during road cycling. The race consists of defeating a few kilometers of the route as soon as possible. Rules

According to UCI rules, the length of the route is from 10-80 km (depending on the age category and gender of the players and the nature of the competition). Competitors start from a stopped position, individually in the same - one to three-minute intervals in the order previously determined by the organizer of the race according to objective criteria, e.g. in the case of a multi-stage race according to the current general time classification. The riders can not use the help of other competitors, so they can not go in pairs or groups; in the event that one reaches the other on the route of the race, it must overtake or keep at least a twenty-five-meter gap. There are several time measuring points on the route of the stage, in order to compare current times of competitors on the route. Equipment Bike for time trial and cyclist in aerodynamic attire - here: Ivan Basso

A bicycle used in an individual time trial must comply with the general UCI rules. In this competition, cyclists use specially designed bicycles and clothes. For a dozen or so years, it is common to use timeless type steering wheels and full rear wheels (without the use of spokes), which was borrowed from track cycling. All this is subordinated to the reduction of aerodynamic drag. The cyclist's garment while riding on time is now a streamlined suit, more and more often with concealed seams and a special streamlined helmet.

While in a race from a joint start in which cyclists ride together in the peloton, for reasons of safety it is forbidden to use wheels with less than 16 spokes, it is permissible to use front wheels made of carbon only a few (3 to 5) flattened crossbars.

Curriculum vitae In the Dominican history, when the dictatorial president Rafael Leónidas Trujillo was in power, Roman was his niece's husband and "third person in the state" (Trujillo and SIM Arturo Espaillata). He was the Minister of Armed Forces, a close associate of Trujillo, which did not prevent him from accepting Trujillo's murder in 1961 from the American consul in the Dominican Republic, Henry Dearborn. He led to the murder of Rafael Trujillo on May 30, 1961, but he could not use this to overthrow his followers. He failed to arrest them along with Trujillo's sons such as Ramfis. Ultimately, the conspiracy ended with the conspirators' defeat when Zacarias - chauffeur Trujillo - survived the presidential bombardment and handed over the drafts of the bombers and Arturo Espaillat informed Roman about the death of the commander - at the sight of Arturo Espaillata Roman revealed ...

Myrmex Indikos

Myrmex Indikos, pol. Indian ant - an alleged species of gigantic ants (according to Herodot's description, larger than foxes, but smaller than dogs). The earliest mention of these creatures is dated to the fifth century BC, and its author is Herodotus. According to her, these ants inhabited the deserts of Persia and India and extracted gold from their sands. Several such creatures were kept in the residence of the King of Persia. Gold was to be obtained by caravans made up of several camels in the heat of the day, when the ants were protected underground. You had to do it quickly, because the ants sensed the smell of people and went on the pursuit, and they were deadly dangerous. This story is confirmed by the next accounts: Nearchos, one of the army officers of Alexander Macedoński, and Megastenes - a historian and traveler. The fragment of the Megasthenes (IV-III century BC) preserved in fragments can be seen in the underground mines at the foot of the mountains on the easte...

Names of streets and squares

-
The names of the streets and squares were originally of a topographical nature, that is, they informed about: Researchers propose two names for these toponyms - urban or plateonimy. S. Urbańczyk points out that the older names were spontaneously formed and sprouted in the daily lives of the inhabitants of the place. The information contained herein was related to the characteristics of the place (eg appearance), important road directions (geographic orientation) or values, functions and economic meanings called places / objects in the settlement for the inhabitants' lives. Former names are protected by law, but are often not respected by managers of the municipality, county or province. Currently the names of streets and squares are given by the commune authorities, county governors or voivodships. There is a tendency to use commemorative names, ie to commemorate deserving people and important events (eg Zygmunt August Street, 3. Maja Street). The names of the districts are ...
