Gateway Path: PYLON, pi'lon (Gr. pylon gateway path; Fr. pyle gate), (1) in architecture, literally a gateway path: (a) In Egyptian architecture a gateway path building having a truncated pyramidal form. (b) Two truncated pyramids with a gateway path between, (c) Any monumental mass placed so as to flank the approach to a bridge or other entranceway. (2) In aeronautics, a post, tower or the like marking a prescribed course of flight. (3) In engineering, a tower for supporting either end of a wire such as a telegraph line over a long span.
PYLORUS, pi-16'rus (Gr. pylorus gatekeeper), in anatomy, is the aperture at the lower end of the stomach through which food passes into the small intestine or duodenum. It is surrounded by muscular tissue, and dilates and contracts during digestion.
The arrangement of paving units in a path can subtly affect the speed at which you walk. A uniform grain along the path—for example, that created by bricks laid lengthwise in stretcher bond—can seem to hurry you on, whereas a less directional pattern will encourage a slower pace. The treatment may be chosen to suit the purpose of the path—a "slow" path where there is plenty to admire, a "faster" path where the aim is simply to provide access to another part of the garden.
Stavanger and the Discovery Route are important on my agenda of information for I feel that they have a certain news value, since they really do constitute a New gateway path for holiday visitors to Norway. (For air and sea connections see under "Touring.") Bergen is not news, for it has long been and still is, a major city of entrance, but the new pathway needs stress as an alluring sight of western Norway. This Discovery Route was only recently opened, or rather reopened, for it had been a path for centuries but had lapsed almost into disuse for tourism due to the lack of adequate wayside hotels. |
