Borg (castle)
A borg (; Gronings: ''börg'') is a former stronghold or villa in the province of Groningen, Netherlands. Borgs used to belong to noblemen or prominent citizens. A comparable building in the neighboring province of Friesland is called a stins. History A borg usually started as a brick building, a 'steenhuis' (literally meaning 'stone house'), built in the 13th or 14th century. A steenhuis was usually 11 meters long and eight meters wide. The walls were thick, often more than one meter in thickness. Most were originally made of wood because stone was expensive, but less flammable. A steenhuis was not used as a house, but offered protection in times of danger. There is one original steenhuis left in Groningen, the Iwema-steenhuis in Niebert. Some steenhuises were enlarged and became more like a castle; this would be considered a borg. A good example of a borg that originated from a steenhuis is the Fraeylemaborg. In the building itself you can still find a wide wall with emb ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Royal Dutch Touring Club
The Royal Dutch Touring Club ANWB (), known simply as ANWB (), is a travelers' association in the Netherlands, supporting all modes of travel. It provides test reports, travel services and roadside assistance and is comparable to the German '' Allgemeiner Deutscher Automobil-Club'' (ADAC) and the British Automobile Association (AA). ANWB has over four million members, and is the largest not-for-profit association in the Netherlands. History The ANWB was founded on July 1, 1883 in Utrecht by members of the velocipede clubs in The Hague and Haarlem under the name ''Nederlandsche Vélocipèdisten-Bond''. The club then had 200 members. Two years later the name was changed to ''Algemene Nederlandsche Wielrijders-Bond'', where the abbreviation A.N.W.B. comes from. Since the association was formally called 'tourist association' (1905), the letters ANWB no longer have any meaning. Since the end of the nineteenth century, the association has been concerned not only with cyclists, but ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Borgs In Groningen (province)
The Borg are an alien group that appear as recurring antagonists in the ''Star Trek'' fictional universe. The Borg are cybernetic organisms (cyborgs) linked in a hive mind called "the Collective". The Borg co-opt the technology and knowledge of other alien species to the Collective through the process of "assimilation": forcibly transforming individual beings into "drones" by injecting nanoprobes into their bodies and surgically augmenting them with cybernetic components. The Borg's ultimate goal is "achieving perfection".Star Trek: First Contact Aside from being recurring antagonists in the ''Next Generation'' television series, they are depicted as the main threat in the film '' Star Trek: First Contact''. In addition, they played major roles in the ''Voyager'' and '' Picard'' series. ''The Borg'' have become a symbol in popular culture for any juggernaut against which "resistance is futile", a common phrase uttered by the Borg. Concept The Borg represented a new ant ...
