<p>Miyako Bay is a bay in Iwate Prefecture, in the northern Tōhoku region of northern Japan. It is a long and narrow, roughly triangular body of water extending southwest to northeast where it opens to the Pacific Ocean. The Omoe Peninsula forms its southern border and Cape Anegasaki forms its southern border. This gives it an area of approximately 24 km&sup2;.</p><br>
<p>Miyako Bay is approximately 10 km long, with a width of 4.8 km at its mouth. The bay has an average depth of 20-40 meters, with a maximum depth of 76 m.</p><br>
<p>Economically, the shallow waters of the bay are an important fishery, with shellfish and seaweed cultivation and aquaculture benefiting from nutrients brought into the almost enclosed waters of the bay the Hei River and the effects of the offshore Kuroshio and Oyashio currents. Tourism is also economically important, as parts of the bay are within the borders of the Sanriku Fukkō National Park, including the scenic Jōdogahama coastline.</p><br>
<p>The Port of Miyako serves as the main seaport for the city of Morioka.</p><br>
<p>The Selden Brewer House is a historic house at Naubuc Avenue and Main Street in East Hartford, Connecticut. Built about 1827, it is a good local example of late Federal/early Greek Revival architecture. It was built and owned for many years by a prominent local tobacco-growing family. Originally located on High Street, it was moved to its present location in the 1980s, and now houses offices of the local historical society. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Selden Brewer House is located in a mixed commercial-residential area of southern East Hartford, and the southern corner of Main Street and Naubuc Avenue. It is a three-story brick structure with a low-pitch hip roof surrounded by a wooden paneled balustrade. The building is roughly cube-shaped in appearance, with its facade facing north toward Main Street. Only three bays wide, the bays are set closely together near the center of the facade. A single-story porch extends across the entire width of the facade. The third floor of the house functions as a raised attic, with narrow windows below the eave. The interior includes a mix of stylistic elements, ranging from the Federal to the Late Victorian.</p><br>
<p>The house was built c. 1827-30, probably by Samuel Brewer, although the property was then listed as belonging to his sixteen-year-old son Selden. The Brewers were a prominent local landowner since the 1750s, and were engaged in the growing of tobacco, for which this portion of the Connecticut River valley was well suited. It is the oldest home associated with the family to survive. It was originally located on High Street, which at the time was lined with similar high-quality homes. At the time of its listing on the National Register in 1979, the property was completely surrounded by modern development and access ramps to Connecticut Route 2. It was moved to its present location in the 1980s, and now houses offices of the local historical society.</p><br>
<p>Florian Mokrski Palace  - a historical building, located by Kanonicza Street in Kraków, Poland.</p><br>
<p>The palace owes its name to Florian Mokrski, who from 1367 to 1380 was a Bishop of Kraków. Around 1540, the building became property of Jan Andrzej Valentino - the doctor of Queen Bona and Zygmunt I. After the fire in 1544 the house was renovated by its next owner, Stanisław Hozjusz. The palace was completely rebuilt in the years 1560-1563 thanks to the canon of Marcin Izdbieński, probably with the participation of Jan Michalowicz from Dziennikowa (to whom the palace&#39;s portal is dedicated to). Future reconstructions of the palace took place in the first half of the eighteenth century and in the nineteenth century. The courtyard is decorated with sgraffiti décor.</p><br>
<p>Presently, the palace is the seat of Saint Pope John Paul II Centre "Do not be afraid" ("Nie lękajcie się").</p><br>
<p>Tŷ Mawr, Dingestow, Monmouthshire is a complex of farm buildings dating from 1640. The farmhouse and attached barn are listed Grade II*. The gatehouse to the farm has a separate Grade II* listing.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The farmhouse was built for Walter Williams, a gentry farmer, circa 1640. The Monmouthshire antiquarian Sir Joseph Bradney noted Tŷ Mawr, meaning Great House, was "once an important residence and estate". He records that the Williams&#39;s were a branch of the Williams family of The Artha at nearby Tregare, and that the last owner of that family, Francis Williams, sold the estate on his appointment as British Consul at Smyrna in the early 18th century.</p><br>
<p>Sir Cyril Fox and Lord Raglan described it as "a good example of a house built on the traditional "Regional" rectangular plan."</p><br>
<h2>Architecture and description</h2><br>
<p>The architectural historian John Newman describes Tŷ Mawr as "an unusually complete 17th century farm complex." The farmhouse is of stone, with two storeys, and to a "3-cell" plan, with a hall and parlour separated by a pantry. The gatehouse, which has its own Grade II* listing, is constructed of red brick laid in English bond while the barn attached to the farm is of Flemish bond brick.</p><br>
<p>Dunn Gardens in Seattle, Washington, is a privately-owned 7.5 acre property composed of the remaining acreage of the estate of Arthur G. Dunn Sr., who made his fortune in the fish cannery business. Dunn bought the property in 1914 as a summer get-a-way for his family, and contracted the landscaping to the Olmsted Brothers. Upon his death, the property was inherited by his children. His son Edward B. Dunn provided for the care of his share of the estate in his will. A trust was created two years after his death to oversee the entire property. Dunn Gardens were listed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 15, 1994, and are open for special public events and docent-led guided tours April through July, and from September through October.</p><br>
<h2>Dunn and Agen background</h2><br>
<p>In 1889, New York resident Arthur G. Dunn Sr. joined his boyhood friend Elton Ainsworth in the first Seattle fish cannery business that established a profitable customer base beyond the local region. John B. Agen was another New Yorker who relocated to Seattle and became wealthy through marketplace innovations that transformed the regional dairy industry. He made several real estate investments, including the Agen Warehouse, now listed on the National Register of Historic Places in Seattle.</p><br>
<h2>Development of the estate and gardens</h2><br>
<p>Agen purchased 20 acre of land, south of The Highlands and west of Bitter Lake in 1911, not only for its vast abundance of Douglas firs, but also because he envisioned its potential for garden areas. When Dunn bought 10 acre of Agen&#39;s property for $7,000 in 1914, he was living in the affluent neighborhood of First Hill, Seattle with his wife Jeannette and five children, Arthur Jr., Edward Bernard (known as Edward B.), Maurice, Gertrude and Dorothy.</p><br>
<p>Dunn planned to build a summer house for his family. The 7.5 acre that are today known as the Dunn Gardens are what remains of the original 10 acre.</p><br>
<p>The Olmsted Brothers were contracted by Dunn and Agen to landscape their adjoining properties. The Massachusetts-based landscape architectural firm founded by John Charles Olmsted and Frederick Law Olmsted Jr. was well known in Seattle as the design architects of the city parks system. The Olmsted Brothers delegated the design project to employee James Frederick Dawson in 1915, while Carl Frelinghuysen Gould of the architectural firm of Bebb and Gould was contracted to design the Dunn and Agen residences.The landscaping was meant to complement the surrounding botanical features. Existing fir trees were kept, and Dunn requested that deciduous trees be added to the property. Numerous plan revisions for the Dunn house and landscaping were submitted between 1915–1916. The two firms worked conjointly to produce the most aesthetically pleasing habitation amid the botanical resources. Eastern side vegetation was left in its natural state. The ocean vista side was developed for a leisure lifestyle with tennis courts, a croquet lawn, vegetable gardens, a chicken house, gardener&#39;s cottage, automobile garage, and a flower garden.</p><br>
<h2>Oversight of the gardens</h2><br>
<p>Agen died in 1920, leaving the bulk of this estate to his widow Florence. In 1940, Dunn built a cottage on his property for his daughter Dorothy. He died in 1945, bequeathing the property to four of his five children.</p><br>
<p>Edward B. and his sister Dorothy Bayley became the primary caretakers of the property after their father&#39;s death. When Edward B. converted the garage into a house for himself, he also began making enhancements to the surrounding landscape. A lifelong gardening enthusiast, he developed a woodland garden connected through winding trails, and filled it with blooming flora native the Pacific Northwest, in particular rhododendron.</p><br>
<p>In 1994, the property was added to the National Register of Historic Places listings in Seattle. Curators Glenn Withey and Charles Price became the curators in 1996. The gardens are accessible to the public April through July, and from September through October, either by docent-led guided tours or otherwise for numerous special public events hosted by the gardens. Among the past events have been the "Mallets in Wonderland: An Afternoon of Whimsical Croquet in the Gardens" with participants dressed as the White Rabbit, "King and Queen of Wonderland", and other characters from Alice&#39;s Adventures in Wonderland, lectures, musical events and tours of specific botanical features.</p><br>

<p>The Bigelow-Hartford Carpet Mills Historic District encompasses a company-built factory and residential area in the Thompsonville area of Enfield, Connecticut. In addition to the former factory buildings of the Bigelow-Hartford Carpet Mills, it includes more than 150 housing units built by the company between about 1830 and 1920. It is roughly bounded on the north by Lafayette Street and Alden Avenue, the east by Hartford Avenue and Lincoln Street, the south by High Street, and the west by River Street. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Bigelow-Hartford Carpet Mills were the largest employer in Enfield for many years, and one of the largest textile firms in the state. Founded in 1828 by Orrin Thompson on the banks of Freshwater Brook, the company became one of the nations largest manufacturers of carpeting, employing more than 13,000 workers in Thompsonville at its height in the 1920s. The companys growth through the 19th century prompted an ongoing need for nearby affordable housing for its workers. The result is several generations of stylistically different housing, built densely in the blocks surrounding the main factory complex.</p><br>
<p>None of the earliest housing, a row of simple single-story cottages documented in drawings, built by Orrin Thompson survives. Early buildings tended to house either two or four families on two floors. Later construction expanded on these models, resulting in three-story tenements and row houses with as many as twelve units. The 1845 Cottage Green area was an unusual deviation from the largely grid-based layout the company used for its housing, with a series of single-family Gothic cottages around a common yard. This area may have been developed as a means to attract highly skilled craftsmen from England. The tenement-style housing found in the district was mainly built in the late 19th century; the housing of the early 20th century returned to the models of two and four families, and featured vernacular versions of popular architectural styles.</p><br>
<p>In addition to the mass of company housing, the district also includes the surviving early 20th-century factory buildings, which have for the most part been converted to residential use.</p><br>
<p>Raglan Lodge is a Grade II* listed building in Beaufort Square, Chepstow, Monmouthshire, Wales. Though the frontage dates from the early 19th century, parts of the building date from the medieval period and the ground floor vaulted hall was probably the towns 14th century moot hall. The building has been refurbished and is currently used as a backpackers hostel.</p><br>
<h2>Vaulted room or crypt</h2><br>
<p>The building is located on Chepstows medieval market square, later reduced in size by infill development and named Beaufort Square around 1850, after the landowners, the Dukes of Beaufort. The large ground floor room has a vaulted stone ceiling with carved bosses of floral decorations and of heads, one wearing a Monmouth cap. The room was probably the moot hall, or Booth Hall, recorded as existing in the town in the 14th and 15th centuries. It may be the building referred to in 1674 as an "old chapel". It was later referred to as the Crypt Room, and in the 18th and 19th centuries was variously used as a wine store, a coach house, an armoury, and a milliners shop. Between 1880 and 1923, it was the site of the town&#39;s post office, and in 1915 held one of the first automated telephone exchanges in the country. Restoration work has revealed a previously-hidden stone cellar.</p><br>
<h2>19th century rebuilding</h2><br>
<p>In the 18th century, the site was the home of the Fydell family. Thomas Fydell (or Fydale) was sheriff of Monmouthshire in 1772, and, on occasion, assizes were held in the building. By around 1800 it came into the ownership of John Bowsher, the head of the locally important firm of shipping and timber merchants, Bowsher, Hodges and Watkins.</p><br>
<p>The frontage of the building was rebuilt in Regency style in the early 19th century. It is a relatively narrow frontage, with bow windows on three storeys. There is a metal canopy above the main first floor window, and a top balcony "almost as if it were in Brighton&quot there may originally also have been a canopy above the top window. The building has been extended substantially to the rear. A flight of steps leads up to a side entrance.</p><br>
<h2>Later uses</h2><br>
<p>The upper storeys of the building were a residential property until the mid-twentieth century. During the 1930s, the property was owned by Lord and Lady Raglan. In 1952, the building was sold to the British Legion, who used it as a social club. The building overlooks Chepstow&#39;s cenotaph, unveiled in 1922, which the Legion were responsible for maintaining.</p><br>
<p>In 2007, the building was bought by businessman Mike Lewis, who intended to open it as a backpackers&#39; hostel. Refurbishment work started in 2011, and the hostel was opened in April 2016.</p><br>
<h2>Listed building status</h2><br>
<p>The building was first given listed building status on 30 April 1956. It is recognised for its "medieval vaulted hall and Regency frontage, the best of its kind in the town." The adjoining property to the south-west, 14 Beaufort Square is also a Grade II* listed building, and the two buildings are noted for their "group value with other listed buildings in Beaufort Square and the lower part of Bank Street and High Street."</p><br>
<p>The W. A. Young and Sons Foundry and Machine Shop is a historic industrial facility at 116 Water Street in Rices Landing, Pennsylvania. Founded in 1900 and operating until 1965, it is one of the best-preserved examples of an early 20th-century small industrial machine shop in the nation. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2016.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Young Foundry and Machine Shop is located in the village of Rices Landing, on the south side of the Monongahela River in rural southwestern Pennsylvania. It is set on the south side of Water Street, which separates most of the property from the river. The shop is a complex of three interconnected wood-frame structures, which are basically utilitarian and vernacular in appearance, with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior. The Front Shop, the largest building, houses the main machine shop on the ground floor and the Pattern Shop on the second floor. Attached to the rear of this building are two smaller ones, housing the Foundry and the "Back Shop". Tools and equipment are arranged by function, in order to maximize flexibility.</p><br>
<p>In the late 19th century, Rices Landing was a prosperous shipment point for the region. In 1900 William A. Young built the foundry and machine shop purchased that year. He established a small foundry and metal machine shop on the premises. The foundry operated until the 1930s, when Young closed it, unable to compete with larger and more efficient operations. The shop remained in operation until 1965, operated after Youngs death in 1940 by his two sons. The building and its entire suite of tools, patterns, and records, was acquired by the Greene County Historical Society in 1985. It sold the property in 2009 to the Steel Industry Heritage Corporation, which has undertaken preservation of the site.</p><br>
<p>Warbstow Bury is an Iron Age hillfort about 0.5 mi west of the village of Warbstow, in Cornwall, England.</p><br>
<h2>Location and description</h2><br>
<p>The site is 807 ft above sea level, on a hill at the heads of two tributaries of the River Ottery. It has been a scheduled monument since 26 November 1928.</p><br>
<p>The fort is one of the largest earthworks in Cornwall. It is an oval enclosure, area about 7.5 hectare. There are two concentric ramparts and ditches; the ramparts are up to 5.8 m high, with ditches up to 2.7 m deep. Between these, in the southern part, are the remains of an earlier rampart.</p><br>
<p>The inner rampart has two original entrances, inturned and facing each other, on the north-west and south-east, and there are corresponding simple entrances in the outer rampart.</p><br>
<h3>Pillow mound</h3><br>
<p>In the centre of the fort is a medieval rabbit warren: a rectangular mound, or pillow mound, about 22 m long, 10 m wide and 0.6 m high. It is known as "The Giants Grave" or "King Arthurs Grave".</p><br>
<p>The Boyne City Central Historic District is a commercial historic district located along the 100 and 200 blocks of Water and Lake Streets and adjacent parts of Main Street and South Park in Boyne City, Michigan. The district also contains the residential structures in the local Pearl Street Historic District to the east of the downtown area. It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 2012.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Boyne City Central Historic District contains 75 buildings, as well and the grounds of Sunset Park at the west edge of the district. Of these, 55 of the buildings contribute to the historic nature of the district. The non-contributing structures are roughly equally divided between structures built after 1962, and those built previously, but which have been renovated in a way that significantly degrades the historic character.</p><br>
<p>The district encompasses all of the historic central business district in Boyne City, as well as the adjacent Pearl Street residential neighborhood, where many of the community’s industrial and commercial leaders lived around the turn of the century. The bulk of the buildings were constructed during Boyne City&#39;s heyday in 1900-1910. Just 5% were constructed before 1900, and 7% in the 1920s and 1930s. The remainder of the contributing buildings in the district were constructed from World War II up through the early 1960s.</p><br>
<p>The commercial buildings are generally one or two stories in height, with the exception of the three-story IOOF Temple at 214 Water Street, and Wolverine Hotel at 300 East Water. Nearly all the buildings are brick, with a few of wood frame construction. The buildings are primarily of Late Victorian architectural style, but with minimal ornamentation. One significant building, the IOOF Temple, is a Renaissance Revival structure. The nearby Post Office is a Classical Revival building.</p><br>
<p>The residential structures along Pearl Street are all frame, with one exception made of glazed tile. Houses in the district have similar setback, scale, and massing.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Boyne City was first developed in the 1870s. The settlement remained small until the channel connecting Lake Charlevoix to Lake Michigan was completed in the 1880s allowing easy flow of commerce and industrial products through the town. W.H. White arrived in Boyne City in 1883 and founded a mill. He added other industry in the years following, taking advantage of the timber lands in the area. Substantially due to White&#39;s efforts, Boyne City industry grew, and by the turn of the century it had transitioned into a full-fledged boom town. During the first decade of the 20th century, Boyne City grew from 900 residents to over 5000.</p><br>
<p>However, Boyne City was booming just as the timberlands in northern Michigan were declining. Mills and other industry in the city began closing in the late 1910s and early 1920s, leading to a drop in population to under 3000. Today, almost no trace of Boyne Citys early industrial past still exists. However, the Central Historic DIstrict contains many buildings that are directly associated with the citys economic heyday between 1910 and 1920.</p><br>
<p>Bridge No. 455 is a historic open spandrel concrete bridge, carrying Connecticut Route 159 across Stony Brook in southern Suffield, Connecticut. Completed in 1929, it is one of six surviving open spandrel concrete bridges in the state. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Bridge No. 455 is located in southeastern Suffield, carrying Connecticut Route 159 across Stony Brook. Route 159 is the major north-south route through eastern Suffield, running roughly parallel to the Connecticut River. The bridge is set across a steep and rocky ravine. It is 259 ft long, with a main span measuring 132 ft, and nine concrete girder approach spans. The main span is an open spandrel structure of reinforced concrete, whose arch has a rise of 34 ft. The bridge deck is 55 ft above the typical water level of the stream below. The arch ribs are 4 ft thick at the base and 2.5 ft at the apex, and are joined to the bridge deck by a series of tapered square columns. The roadway is two lanes wide.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was completed in 1929 as part of a major initiative by the state Department of Transportation to improve the infrastructure of its main highways. At the time Route 159 was the principal north-south route between Hartford and Springfield, Massachusetts, and is still a major secondary road, having been supplanted by Interstate 91 for most traffic. The state used open spandrel structures over ravines and for exceptionally long spans, where significant cost savings were achieved by reducing materials costs. The state also declared a preference for the bridges for their aesthetics, and used them with some frequency. There are now only six such bridges left in the state.</p><br>
<p>The Bristol Girls&#39; Club is a historic clubhouse facility at 47 Upson Street in Bristol, Connecticut. Built in 1931, it is believed to be the first purpose-built clubhouse for a branch of the Girls Club of America, a social and educational organization dedicated to improving conditions for urban and immigrant girls. The building, a fine example of Dutch Colonial Revival architecture in brick, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987. It now serves as the Family Center of the Bristol chapter of the Boys & Girls Clubs of America.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Bristol Girls&#39; Club building is located about four blocks south of Bristol center, on the south side of Upson Street just east of West Street. The building has two major portions, the older one a 2-1/2 story brick building in the Dutch Colonial Revival style. It is oriented perpendicular to the street, and fronts a much larger modern addition which houses primarily athletic facilities. The older structure is organized as a central block with flanking end blocks that only project slightly; each section is covered by a gambrel roof with dormers. The interior of the building houses offices, a kitchen and dining room, and smaller gymnasium spaces.</p><br>
<p>The Bristol Girls&#39; Club was founded in 1928, and originally met in a rented space. It offered a variety of after-school and evening activities, including domestic education such as cooking and sewing, athletics including dance, volleyball, horseshoes, and baseball, and other social activities. It was immediately popular, subscribing 351 girls in its first month. The community began a fund drive to build a permanent home for the club, which culminated in the construction of this building in 1931. It was designed by Charles Scranton Palmer of New Haven. The club was one of the founding members of the national Girls Clubs of America organization when it was organized in 1945 in Springfield, Massachusetts.</p><br>
<p>The Gordon Avenue Historic District in Thomasville, Georgia is a 24 acre historic district which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. Its five contributing buildings are houses on large lots on Gordon Avenue, an avenue which radiates to the southeast of the center of Thomasville. The properties are the two lots before Junius Street and the three lots after, on the right, when heading south on Gordon, at numbers 924, 936, 1008, 1012, and 1104. The first two are Classical Revival buildings with monumental porticos having Doric columns.</p><br>
<p>The properties were deemed significant for the architecture of the buildings, for the landscaping of the properties, and for its local history. It was asserted that Gordon Avenue was, in the late 1800s, "a popular street for driving carriages and bicycles, rivaling Paradise Park and Pinetree Boulevard in the beauty of its wooded areas."</p><br>
<p>Note, the Gordon Avenue Apartments at 424 Gordon Ave. was also listed on the NRHP, in 1983.</p><br>
<p>The Hales Mansion is a mansion built in 1916 in Oklahoma City.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Second Renaissance Revival house was built for William Taylor Hales (1867-1938), a prominent business man of early Oklahoma City, in 1916 at a cost of $125,000 USD. In 1939, the mansion was bought by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Oklahoma City and served as the residence of the archbishop until it was converted back into a private residence in 1992. The mansion was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. In April 2017, the mansion was bought by an Oklahoma City radiologist for $2.125 million.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The house contains 20,021 square feet of living space spread over three floors, and an additional 3,136 square feet of basement, making the Hales Mansion the largest residence in Oklahoma City. The mansion was designed by the firm Hawk & Parr and is constructed of Bedford limestone and bricks imported from Greece. The main entrance on the east facade is a large, two-story portico supported by eight Corinthian columns. The secondary entrance on the north facade, facing the Overholser Mansion, is also a two-story portico but supported by four columns. On the ground level, the main entrance opens into a grand hall and a grand staircase.</p><br>
<p>Park Front, a house at 711 S. Hansell St. in Thomasville, Georgia, was built in 1891. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970. It has also been known as Charles Hebard House and as Frances Stone House.</p><br>
<p>It was a winter residence for Charles S. Hebard. In 1969 it was owned by Frances Stone.</p><br>
<p>It was perhaps designed by William Miller or by James Gribben, who both were active architects in the area.</p><br>
<p>It is a two-and-a-half-story mansion with a two-story portico supported by four columns. Its front doorway has a simple architrave divided in three parts. It has dentils detailing its cornice and fascia. There is a small second-story porch within the portico.</p><br>
<p>The "Park Front" name derived from its location across from Paradise Park.</p><br>
<p>The house is also a contributing building in the Paradise Park Historic District, listed on the National Register in 1984.</p><br>
<p>Allen Lake is a natural lake but a low earthen dam and concrete spillway were installed to raise the lake level. Allen Lake is near Richfield Springs, New York. Allen Lake is the water supply for Richfield Springs, New York.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>By 1820 fresh water was being shipped in to the village of richfield from the millstone spring to the north. As the village grew, it required a more steady supply of fresh water. At first water came from the two holding reservoirs along route 20 east of the village of richfield. This was still not enough water, and Allen Lake was purchased by the village. At first a steam pump pumped the water above ground but by 1920 it was replaced by a tunnel so it could travel by gravity. In 1994 when the present water plant was built, pumps were added, although it could still be gravity fed.</p><br>
<p>Rathlin O&#39;Birne  is an island located to the south west of Glencolumbkille, County Donegal and 2km west of Malin Beg.</p><br>
<h2>Lighthouse</h2><br>
<p>Rathlin OBirne lighthouse went into operation on 14 April 1856. In 1974 a Radioisotope thermoelectric generator was installed, making it home to Irelands first nuclear powered lighthouse.</p><br>
<p>However in by 1987 the power output of the RTG had dwindled to an insufficient level and the lighthouse was converted to wind power, which was in use until 1991 at which point it was converted to solar power</p><br>
<p>A road with a cut stone wall on both sides, runs from the beach to the lighthouse to protect the lighthouse keepers as they made their way across the island.</p><br>
<h2>Accidents</h2><br>
<p>On 7 January 1975 the trawler Evelyn Marie sank in the Rathlin sound with the loss of 6 crew</p><br>
<p>A year later in November 1976 the trawler Carrig Una sank in the same spot with the loss of 5 crew</p><br>
<p>In July 2017 two men died when their RIB ran out of fuel close to the shore of Rathlin O&#39;Birne, after having been rescued from the same area four weeks prior</p><br>
<p>The Hollywood Plantation in Thomasville, Georgia was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003. It is a 38 acre property with four contributing buildings, including its main house which is a Colonial Revival-style mansion built in 1928.</p><br>
<p>The mansion was built for Mr. and Mrs. Henry K. Devereux, who had owned the property since 1915 and had improved its main house, but that had burned in a fire on January 20, 1928. The new mansion, named "Hollywood", is a brick house with a green slate roof. The front of its central two-story portion has a pedimented portico with four Ionic columns. It presides from a grassy hill and is approached by a winding drive. Its red brick is laid in Flemish bond; white marble from the Georgia Marble Company of Tate, Georgia is used for keystones, quoins and trim.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed significant for its architecture and for its use in entertainment/recreation, as used by Henry K. Devereux, who had retired from industry in 1911 and was then a harness horse fancier. He bred and trained harness racing horses at the Pastime Stables, near this property.</p><br>
<p>The other contributing buildings include a manager/jockeys house (c.1890) and a board-and-batten caretakers cottage (c.1920). The property also has a contributing structure and several non-contributing buildings and structures.</p><br>
<p>The mansion was designed by architect John B. Thomas; it was expected to cost $75,000 to build and was built by Ezra Quarterman Stacey. The architect had practiced in New York then moved to the Florida and Georgia area around 1925. Other works by the architect include two projects in the Lakes Wales Commercial Historic District, the Rhodesbilt Arcade (1926) and the Burns Arcade (1925-26 remodel).</p><br>
<p>The property was 225 acre when Devereux bought it, then expanded to 442 acre. After Devereux died in 1932, land was sold off for subdivisions and it was reduced to 38 acres in 1958.</p><br>
<p>Lake Moraine  is a mesotrophic lake located 2.5 miles northeast of Hamilton, New York. The lake is 261 acres, consisting of two basins which are separated by a causeway and interconnected by a culvert. The northern basin is 79 acres and is relatively shallow with a maximum depth of 12.0 feet and average depth of 3.7 feet. The larger southern basin is 172 acres and has a maximum depth of 45 feet and an average depth of 17.7 feet. Payne Brook is the lake&#39;s outflow that flows into the Chenango River.</p><br>
<h2>Fishing</h2><br>
<p>The fish species in Lake Moraine are largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, chain pickerel, brook trout, rainbow trout, tiger muskie, walleye, black crappie, pumpkinseed sunfish, bluegill, brown trout, redbreast sunfish, rock bass, brown bullhead, golden shiner, white sucker and creek chubsucker. The reservoir is well known for producing large chain pickerel up to 24".</p><br>
<p>Lake Moraine is stocked yearly by the NYSDEC with approximately 780 tiger musky. The Lake Moraine Association has started an experimental walleye fingerling stocking in the reservoir in an attempt to reduce the number of panfish. With fewer panfish the number of aquatic invertebrates that feed on Eurasian watermilfoil should increase in the reservoir thus helping to control the watermilfoil naturally.</p><br>
<p>There is a state owned concrete ramp and carry down boat launch on County Route 87 (East Lake Road), 3 miles south of Madison, New York.</p><br>
<p>Mill Creek Plantation, also known as Greenridge Plantation, near Thomasville in Thomas County, Georgia, is a 193.8 acre property which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>It includes a Tudor Revival mansion designed by S. Ralph Fetner. The property includes six contributing buildings and three contributing structures, as well as seven non-contributing buildings and structures.</p><br>
<p>In 1997, at the time of its NRHP listing, it was one of 71 operating plantations in the Red Hills region, which spans from Thomasville to Tallahassee, Florida. The property was deemed significant for the architecture of the house, and in the area of recreation/entertainment as one of few surviving plantations in the Red Hills region which was developed for game bird hunting.</p><br>
<p>The Broad Brook Company was a manufacturer of textiles in East Windsor, Connecticut, which operated from the 1830s until 1954. The company plant, located on Broad Brook at Main Street and Scott Road in the town&#39;s Broad Brook village, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. Partially destroyed by fire, with surviving buildings converted into residential condominiums in the 1980s, the complex has been shuttered due to the discovery of toxic soil conditions on the property.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Broad Brook Company complex was once the industrial center piece of Broad Brook village in northeastern East Windsor. Set astride Broad Brook west of Main Street, the company complex consisted of eighteen buildings of stone and wood, built over a period of over a century. One of the most prominent of those buildings still stands: the main mill building, it is a handsome 4-1/2 story structure with Italianate style built in 1867 and enlarged in 1880. Its facade is divded into bays defined by recessed panels, with stone corbelling at the top of each panel, some of the window sills, and the roof eave. A five-story stair tower projects near its center, with a gabled roof and more brick corbelling. Each level of the tower has doorways for the movement of large equipment to that level. Other surviving elements include the mill dam, which is located just across Main Street to the east, and a former steam boiler building.</p><br>
<p>The Broad Brook site had an industrial history dating to the early 19th century, when a sawmill, gristmill, and tannery were located at or near this site. A textile mill was established by the Phelps brothers in the 1830s, but it eventually failed, and was reorganized in the late 1840s into the Broad Brook Company. This company was an economic success, employing 300 people at the turn of the 20th century, producing a variety of woolen fabrics. By the 1930s, the company was producing cloth fabrics for upholstery in automobiles, and suffered significantly when that industry shifted to vinyl finishes in the 1950s.</p><br>
<p>In 1954 the plan was shuttered and sold to Hamilton Standard, a division of United Technologies. Chemical contamiation was discovered in the property&#39;s soils in 1998, and the complex was shuttered in 2004. Although it has not been granted Superfund status, the US Environmental Protection Agency continues to monitor remediation efforts.</p><br>
<p>The Brown Tavern is a historic house and public accommodation at George Washington Turnpike and Connecticut Route 4 in Burlington, Connecticut. Probably built in the early 19th century, it is a fine example of Federal period architecture, its design tentatively credited to New Haven architect David Hoadley. Now managed by the local historical society, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Brown Tavern stands facing Burlingtons triangular town green, on the south side of George Washington Turnpike at the greens western end. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a front-facing gable roof and clapboarded exterior. The main facade is five bays wide, with an elaborate Federal style entrance surround at the center. The entry is flanked by sidelight windows and pilasters, and is topped by a half-round transom window and shallow gabled hood. Above the entrance is a Palladian window with a rounded center that breaks the moulding at the roof eave. The front gable is fully pedimented, with dentil moulding around the edges and a Federal style semi-oval fan at the center.</p><br>
<p>The building is believed to have been built about 1809-10 for Giles Griswold, a merchant</p><br>
<p>The Cook-Johnson House is a historic house located at 3091 Franklin Avenue north of Salem, Iowa.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>This two-story, brick Greek Revival style house was built in about 1850 by either Jonathan Cook or Henry W. Johnson. Both men were among the early Quaker settlers in this area. Johnson grew wealthy, in part, from his dealings with counterfeit money. Although the extent of his activities were not known until after his death, he was forced out of the local Quaker congregation because of it. Wallace Godfrey and Clark Osburn were also involved in the counterfeiting enterprise. In 1911, it was discovered that Osburn had killed Warner Davis who had learned of the illegal activity and was going to report it.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 28, 2010.</p><br>
<p>The Collins-Bond House is a historic house located at 402 South Main Street in Salem, Iowa.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Peter and Sarah Collins were New York natives who bought this property from William Lewelling in 1842. He built the two-story, Greek Revival style brick house the following year. Salem was a Quaker community and many of its residents were involved in the Underground Railroad. According to his son Mahlon, Peter was a conductor who helped runaway slaves on their escape to freedom. Eli and Mary Bond acquired the house in 1851 after the Collins relocated elsewhere in Iowa. Their son Titus was married to Peter and Sarahs daughter Amelia. The house remained in the Bond family into the 1940s.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 28, 2010.</p><br>
<p>The Edward L. Burnham Farm is a historic farmstead at 580 Burnham Street West in Manchester, Connecticut. Built in 1861, the house is a well preserved example of a vernacular Greek Revival farmhouse. It was built for a locally prominent family that had farmed the surrounding land for generations. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Edward L. Burnham Farm house stands in the northwestern corner of Manchester, in a formerly rural-residential setting. The farm&#39;s 100 acre have been reduced by the construction of Interstate 291 and industrial development, and the farmstead now stands on about 1.5 acre. It is located on the south side of Burnham Road West, just west of its junction with Chapel Road. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior. It is oriented facing east, presenting a side elevation to the street. The front facade is three bays wide, with the entrance placed slightly off-center. A single-story hip-roof porch extends across that facade, supported by square posts with simple molded capitals. A kitchen ell extends the building to the south. The interior retains modest 19th-century vernacular Greek Revival finishes. The property also includes rare surviving dairy and ice houses from the 19th century.</p><br>
<p>The farmstead began with the purchase of 100 acres by Edward Burnham in 1860, by which time Hartford County was already one of the nation&#39;s leading producers of broadleaf tobacco. He began cultivating that crop, building this house for his family. The house is from a construction perspective of its period, using balloon framing, but is stylistically conservative in its Greek Revival elements. The farm was economically successful, with the Burnham family adding tobacco drying barns in 1903 and the late 1910s (now demolished).</p><br>
<p>The Hochstein  is a volcanic cone, in the Eifel near Obermendig in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate and county ofMayen-Koblenz.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<h3>Location</h3><br>
<p>The Hochstein rises in the High Eifel between the villages of Bell to the north-northeast and Ettringen to the south. Its summit and most of the hill lie in the western part of the borough of Mendig, the village of Obermendig extending as far as the eastern foot of the hill. The west and south flanks are located in the municipality of Ettringen. Northwest of the hill, along its municipal boundary with Ettringen, are the Roderhöfe which belong to Mendig. Somewhat to the north of the hill rises the Kellbach stream and, to the south, the Segbach, which both feed the Nette tributary of the Krufter Bach.</p><br>
<h3>Natural regions</h3><br>
<p>The Hochstein is part of the natural region major unit group, the Middle Rhine Region (No. 29), the major unit of Lower Middle Rhine Region (292), the minor unit of Laach Volcanoes (292.0) and the natural region of Ettringen Volcano Kuppen (292.01). To the west the terrain descends to the natural region of Nitz-Nette Forest (271.21), which is part of the major unit group, East Eifel (27), the major unit, Eastern High Eifel (271), and minor unit, Hohe Acht/Nitz-Nette Upland (271.2).</p><br>
<h2>Reserves</h2><br>
<p>The majority of the Hochstein Hochstein Nature Reserve (CDDA-No. 163713; established 1983; 3,5113 km²), lie on the hill, small elements of the protected area of Rhine-Ahr-Eifel (CDDA-No. 323834; 1980; 925,8651 km²) and parts of a bird reserve, the Lower Middle Rhine Region (VSG No. 5609-401; 20.66 km²).</p><br>
<h2>Hill name and Genoveva Cava</h2><br>
<p>In Ettringen itself the name of the extinct volcano is the Kalberg, as depicted in a map dating to about 1809. According to a legend, Countess Palatine Genoveva of Brabant found refuge in the cave northwest of the summit during the Middle Ages, hence the name Genoveva Cave (also called the Hochstein Cave).</p><br>
<h2>Transport and leisure</h2><br>
<p>The Landesstraße 82 from Bell to Ettringen via the Roderhöfen runs past the Hochstein to the west. On its southwest fland on this road is the motocross racetrack of Mcc Ettringen.</p><br>
<p>The Burritt Hotel was a historic hotel at 67 West Main Street in New Britain, Connecticut. Built in the 1920s to attract business travelers, it was the city&#39;s most luxurious hotel. It is now Burritt House, an affordable housing complex. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former Burritt Hotel building occupies a prominent corner location in downtown New Britain, at the northeast corner of West Main and Washington Streets. It is a six story structure, built with a steel frame and exterior clad in brick with cast concrete trim. It is roughly U-shaped, the left leg angled to account for the non-square street corner. It has Colonial Georgian Revival styling, and its main facade faces West Main Street. That facade is nine bays wide, divided into three subgroups by the slight projection of the center five bays. The ground floor houses commercial storefronts, with the main entrance at the center. The second floor has seven three-part picture windows, and is topped by a stone stringcourse. There are balustrade-like decorations above the stringcourse and below the third-floor windows. On the third level, the windows of the outer bays are topped by half-round blind arch panels, those on the inner bays splayed lintels with keystones. The upper floors of the inner five bays have pilasters flanking each of the outermost bays. On the interior, the central lobby and public corridor have retained their original finishes; the rest of the building has been renovated for apartment conversion.</p><br>
<p>The hotel was designed and built in 1924 by H.L. Stevens Company of New York City, a contractor that specialized in hotel construction. It was built for a consortium of local business owners, who believed that a high quality hotel would improve business prospects. The building is stylistically similar to a number of other hotels the Stevens Company erected in several northeastern states. It was for many years part of the city&#39;s fashionable social scene, hosting events of all types.</p><br>
<p>The Daniel Webster School, also known as Escuela Daniel Webster and as La Webster, in Peñuelas Pueblo, Peñuelas, Puerto Rico, was built in 1927 and expanded in 1934. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed significant for its architecture. It was asserted in its NRHP nomination that "Escuela Webster exemplifies the joint adoption (if not always academically accurate) of Beaux Arts and Spanish Revival styles as a legitimate architectural idiom."</p><br>
<p>It is a two-story reinforced concrete building with an H-shaped plan. It was designed by Francisco Gardón Vega, as indicated in construction documents, although Rafael Carmoega, then Chief Architect for the Division of Public Works of Puerto Rico’s Department of the Interior Office, is the architect of record per a plaque in the building. It was built by contractor Gabino Balasquide.</p><br>
<p>The Dawson Street Residential Historic District, in Thomasville, Georgia, is a 200 acre historic district which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. It then included 380 contributing buildings and three contributing sites.</p><br>
<p>It is located to the north of the city&#39;s commercial center and its courthouse square. As well as houses, the district includes several churches, two historic cemeteries (one for whites and one for blacks), a historic city park, and pecan orchards associated with some of the houses.</p><br>

<p>The Ernest R. Burwell House is a historic house at 161 Grove Street in Bristol, Connecticut. Built in 1918, it is an outstanding example of a Classical Revival residence. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Ernest R. Burwell House is located on the east side of Bristol&#39;s fashionable Federal Hill residential area, at the northeast corner of Grove and Oakland Streets. Although it faces Grove Street, it is set well back, with a tree-dotted lawn and semi-circular drive in between. It is a two-story masonry structure, its exterior finished in stucco. It is covered by a low-pitch hip roof, at whose center is an elevated monitor section. The roof was originally encircled by a low balustrade, which has been removed; a similar balustrade still adorns the garage. The main facade is three bays wide, the central one sheltered by a massive two-story four-column temple portico, with Doric columns rising to an entablature and fully pedimented and dentillated gable. An open porch is set to the left, and a solarium enclosed in glass is to the right. The interior is lavishly finished, with parquet floors in the foyer, a grand curving staircase, and mahogany paneling and bookcases in the library.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1918 to a design by New Britain architect Walter Crabtree. Ernest Burwell, for whom it was built, was a native of New Hartford, who made a fortune in coal, ice, and trucking, and eventually became president of the Bristol Manufacturing Company, a textile maker. Crabtree&#39;s design is one of his more ambitious residential designs; although he also designed the now-demolished DeWitt Page Mansion which stood next door, his best-known works in the region are commercial designs.</p><br>
<p>The Briggs Carriage Company is a historic industrial complex at 14 and 20 Cedar Street in Amesbury, Massachusetts. Built before 1890, these two buildings are a surviving reminder of the city&#39;s late 19th century prominence as a major carriage manufacturing center. They were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The two surviving Briggs Carriage Company buildings stand north of downtown Amesbury, on the north side of Cedar Street west of Poplar Street and the Back River. They are two long rectangular buildings, built in brick in the commercial Italianate style typical of 19th-century textile mills. The left building is three stories in height, while that on the right is two stories. Window openings (some filled in) are typically topped by segmented arches, and the main eaves have brick corbelling.</p><br>
<p>The Briggs Carriage Company began in the 1850s as a maker of jump seat carriages at a facility on Clark and Elm Streets in the center of Amesbury. It acquired a textile mill on the south side of Cedar Street in 1870, and expanded over the next twenty years, eventually occupying four buildings, including these two. The company was one of Amesbury&#39;s largest and most successful makers of carriages, out of more than thirty that operated there at one time. In 1889 the company began manufacturing streetcars at 20 Cedar, a business that continued until 1903. The company also began manufacturing bodies for automobiles, at first out of wood and resembling carriages, and eventually out of aluminum. The company went out of business in 1929. The buildings have since seen a variety of commercial and industrial uses.</p><br>
<p>West Caroga Lake is located in the Town of Caroga by Caroga Lake, New York. The lake is known for excellent warm water fishing, but it also offers the only location to fish for splake in the county. The lake is connected to East Caroga Lake by a small channel.</p><br>
<p>Origin of the name, "Caroga" is derived from the once nearby Indian Village known as "Caroga".</p><br>
<h2>Fishing</h2><br>
<p>Fish found within this lake include smallmouth bass, lake whitefish, atlantic salmon, white sucker, rainbow trout, rock bass, landlocked salmon, chain pickerel, brown bullhead, yellow perch, pumpkinseed sunfish, and splake. Anglers have the opportunity to fish for warm water species and trout because of the unique contour of lake. Rainbow trout have also been known to enter into West Caroga Lake through the channel from East Caroga Lake.</p><br>
<p>Canada Lake is located in the Town of Caroga. Unlike the nearby Caroga lakes, Canada Lake is very deep which provides colder water for species such as trout to survive. There is an annual draw down on the lake by way of a control structure on the outlet of Stewart Landing. The impoundment of this water has created a lake complex of Lily Lake, Canada Lake, West Lake and Green Lake.</p><br>
<h2>Fishing</h2><br>
<p>Fish found within this lake include brown trout, brown bullhead, lake trout, chain pickerel, smallmouth bass, lake whitefish, yellow perch and pumpkinseed. Canada Lake has excellent fishing for both brown trout and lake trout in the deeper parts of the lake. Smallmouth bass can be found along the rocky shores of Canada Lake.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The lake’s north shore road was built in the 1840s providing easier access to the lake itself. Homes and hotels were built, wood burning steamers carried tourists on the lake, and Canada Lake became a popular resort destination. Most of the cottages that now dot the shores of Canada, and connecting Green, and West Lakes were built in the late 1800s and early 1900s.</p><br>

<p>The Rheydter Höhe is a Trümmerberg in the Mönchengladbach district of Pongs in the south of the city. Locally the hill, which is made of rubble, is known as Monte Clamotte  or Rheydter Müllberg . The plateau of the small hill is high, making it the highest point in the borough. Measuring from foot to summit, it is also the highest Trümmerberg in Germany.</p><br>
<p>The Rheydter Höhe ("Rheydt Hill") was created in 1945 from rubble left behind by the bombing of the towns of Mönchengladbach and Rheydt, which left 65% of the two towns in ruins. During the 1950s, great quantities of domestic rubbish were dumped on the Trümmerberg. In order to enable plants and trees to grown, a layer of humus, between one and two metres thick, laid over the household rubbish. During the 1990s, this resulted in poison gas emissions from the rubble, of which nothing can be seen today. However, about 30 metres below the plateau, which doubles as a viewing point, individual pieces of plastic bags can be seen on the sides of the footpath, which have been exposed by rainwater over time.</p><br>
<p>At the northern foot of the Trümmerberg is a water play park, a pond and the Rheydt municipal forest with barbecue sites, a minigolf course, a café and facilities for other activities.</p><br>
<p>The road of Dahlener Straße (one of the main transport axes of the</p><br>
<p>town, linking Rheydt with Rheindahlen) and the A 61 motorway run south and west of the Rheydter Höhe respectively.</p><br>
<p>The Fosse Dionne, is a karst spring, is located in downtown Tonnerre . It is driven by the infiltration of precipitation on the plateau as well as drainage from at least one river. The Fosse Dionne is remarkable because of its outflow .</p><br>
<p>Its presence is at the center of the creation story of Tonnerre. An elaborate wash basin was built around the spring in the 18th century.</p><br>
<h2>Hydrogeology</h2><br>
<p>The Fosse Dionne is a hydrogeological focal point and exsurgent spring. It is fed mainly by the infiltration of precipitation in the limestone layers of the karstic plateau which dates to the Jurassic neighboring the city of Tonnerre. Colorations have demonstrated that part of the spring’s water is supplied by the Laigne River which is lost at Villaines-en-Duesmois in the Gouffre de la Garenne (Garenne Chasm), 43.5 km from Tonnerre as the crow flies. There is also a relationship between the spring and the Gouffre d’Athée (Chasm of Athena).</p><br>
<p>The average flow rate is 311 liters per second, but in periods of flood it can reach 3000 liters per second such as on 15 Mar 2001. The average flow oscillates between a peak of 619 liters per second in January and minimum of 87 liters per second in August.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In the Gallo-Roman period, the Fosse Dionne was used to supply water to the Oppidum of Tornodurum installed on the Vieux Châteaux plateau which dominates the city. The modern city of Tonnerre is built around the spring.</p><br>
<h3>The Wash Basin</h3><br>
<p>In 1758, Louis dÉon, father of the Chevalier dÉon converted the spring into a wash basin. A 14 meter wide basin was built. The washerwomen were protected from the weather by a roof in the form of a “half rotunda” supported by a framework abutting a rubble wall. To avoid pollution, a wall separates the spring from the annular trough used for washing. Fireplaces located around the laundry made it possible to produce the ash needed for cleaning. The laundry has been classified as an historic place since 1920.</p><br>
<h2>Exploration of the Hydrogeological Network Via Subterranean Diving</h2><br>
<p>The spring consists of a deep basin (hence the name “fosse” ). It opens into an embedded gallery with a 2.5 meter high entrance that is visible from the surface. The underground hydrogeological network was explored by divers despite the difficulties created by narrow passages and a succession of deep siphons requiring frequent decompression stops. The first known exploration was carried out in 1955. The gallery first sinks at an angle of 45º to the depth of 32 meters. To continue exploring it is necessary to cross a flap of 0.8 meters by 0.4 meters. Then it goes up twice to depths close to 0 meters before sinking gradually down to -70 meters at 370 meters which is the farthest divers have reached. As a result of fatal accidents, subterranean diving in the Fosse Dionne is strictly regulated.</p><br>
<p>Carswell Grove Baptist Church and Cemetery, in Jenkins County, Georgia near Perkins, is a historic church and cemetery which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.</p><br>
<p>The church, built in 1919, is a wood frame clapboarded building with Gothic Revival windows and other details. Its front gable end is flanked by two square towers.</p><br>
<p>The original church is no longer present, based upon satellite views of the site.</p><br>
<p>The cemetery was founded around 1870, when the original church building was built. It is located along the rear and sides of the church, and includes "modest" headstones.</p><br>
<p>A different historic church, the Big Buckhead Baptist Church, with historic plaque in front, is located a few hundred yards southwest.</p><br>
<p>Birdsville Plantation, in Jenkins County, Georgia near Millen, is a 50 acre property which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971. It then included 10 contributing buildings. It is a National Bicentennial Farm.</p><br>
<p>The plantation property includes a main house, a barn, a privy, a smoke house, an old kitchen, a well house, a log building, an apothecary, a store, and a house and office of Mr. Bird, as well as a pecan grove and historic oak trees. A cotton gin building is included in photographs of the property.</p><br>
<p>The plantation house survived Sherman&#39;s March to the Sea, with reason attributed to Sherman sparing the house due to the death of twins. A version of the story shared online is that Union troops "found freshly dug graves, and began to unearth them looking for hidden silver, valuables, etc. They stopped when they discovered they were actual graves. The lady of the house had recently given birth to twins who had not survived, these were the plundered graves. The plantation was spared complete destruction out of respect."</p><br>
<p>It dates from the 1700s and is one of few colonial-era ones in the interior of Georgia. Its front appearance was created in modifications c.1847, under Henry Philip Jones, son of the original owner.</p><br>
<p>The modifications added Greek Revival and Italianate elements in an unusual design. It is a two-story house with an unusual inset front portico, with four columns having Corinthian capitals. Its front facade, which would be flat otherwise, is relieved by two projecting Italianate window bays.</p><br>
<p>Birdsville&#39;s architecture is unusual among plantations in the area. Birdsville was located in Burke County until Jenkins County was carved out in 1905.</p><br>
<p>Shizhu River is a right-bank tributary of Xiang River in Wangcheng District of Changsha, Hunan Province, China.</p><br>
<p>The river has three sources merging into the trunk stream at Daigongqiao. The right branch (northern branch) is its main stream which rises in the Jiufeng Mountain, the headwaters are a group of reservoirs including Chating Reservoir, Sichong Reservoir and Nanchong Reservoir located in Chating Town. The main river runs through Chating and Qiaoyi 2 towns and Tongguan Subdistrict before linking up with the Xiang River. It has a length of 25 km with a drainage basin area of rough 60 km&sup2;. Its drainage basin covers Shizhu, Caitaoyuan, Heqiao, Gguoliang villages of Tongguan Subdistrict, Baishi of Qiaoyi Town, Xihusi, Shiziling, Daigongqiao, Wangqun, Meihualing, Tanjiayuan and Jiufengshan villages of Chating Town.</p><br>
<p>The source of the main stem of the Shizhu River is Chating Reservoir. Water enters the river through sluice gate. The main stem flows southeast confluence with the middle branch and south branch at Daigongqiao in the eastern side of Hunan provincial route S102．From here the river flows west, after inflowing several streams in Shizhu Batardeau, it joins Xiang River at Lanjiapo Mouth.</p><br>
<p>Coal Island is an island in Fiordland, in the southwest of New Zealand&#39;s South Island.</p><br>
<p>Its Māori name is Te Puka-Hereka Island, which translated means The Tied Anchor, but the island is commonly known as Coal Island.</p><br>
<p>Situated at the southern end of Fiordland&#39;s west coast, Coal Island lies in the entrance to Preservation Inlet, between Puysegur Point and Gulches Head. This area contains the southernmost fiords of Fiordland, some 200 km south of Milford Sound.</p><br>
<p>The island is part of the Fiordland National Park and is an important conservation site. It was declared pest-free in 2005 and is one of only nine islands in the area that is completely free of introduced mammalian pests. Since then, endangered endemic birds such as tokoeka (Haast brown kiwi) and mōhua (yellowhead) have been released on the island.</p><br>
<p>The Táchira depression  is a saddle of land connecting the Lake Maracaibo basin to the Orinoco basin in the state of Táchira, Venezuela.</p><br>
<p>It forms a break in the eastern Andes, separating the Tamá Massif to the west from the Cordillera de Mérida to the east.</p><br>
<p>The depression has been thought to present a barrier to the movement of species between the Colombian and Venezuelan Andes, but this effect may have been relatively low during the recent ice ages. The mountains of the region have potential for coffee farming and hydroelectric power generation, while the lower levels are suitable for farming.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>The Eastern Cordillera of the Colombian Andes forks from the Pamplona Node into two long branches.</p><br>
<p>The Cordillera de Periiá extends northward and the Tamá Massif and Cordillera de Mérida extends in a northeast direction.</p><br>
<p>The second branch is divided by the Táchira depression, an area of low lands between the valleys of the Táchira River to the west, the Lobaterita and Torbes rivers to the east and the Quinimarí to the south.</p><br>
<p>The Táchira depression covers an area of about 9,317 km&sup2;.</p><br>
<p>The depression has a northern slope in the basin of Lake Maracaibo, drained by the Táchira, Lobatera, La Grita, Orope and Escalante rivers, and a southern slope in the Orinoco basin drained by the Uribante, Torbes, Quinimarí, Doradas, Sarare, Piscuri and Narvay rivers.</p><br>
<h2>Formation</h2><br>
<p>More than 50 million years ago the Táchira depression was a strait that connected Lake Maracaibo with the Orinoco basin. Today it separates the Tamá Massif, a prolongation of the Cordillera Oriental of the Colombian Andes, from the Cordillera de Mérida in the Venezuelan Andes.</p><br>
<p>This gap between the Colombian and Venezuelan Andes is a product of orogenic movements in the Paleogene period that created major faults, raised blocks and formed rifts including the Táchira Depression.</p><br>
<p>There are four faults with northwest-southeast trends aligned in echelon across the Tachira depression between Córdoba in Colombia to the west and Torondoy in Venezuela to the east.</p><br>
<p>This pattern indicates that the region to the south of the depression must have moved westward relative to the region to the north.</p><br>
<h2>Structure</h2><br>
<p>The region may be divided into three main physiographic units: mountains, valleys and piedmont lake and plain.</p><br>
<p>The mountains cover 71% of the total area, characterized by very irregular relief with slopes of more than 35%, with high and low mountains between the Batallón the Negra páramos (high moors).</p><br>
<p>Soils are generally shallow and have low natural fertility.</p><br>
<p>The valleys that run between the mountains cover 7% of the area, including the valleys of the Torbes, Grita, Quinimarí, Uribante, Venegará and Táchira rivers.</p><br>
<p>The piedmont region that extends to the north and the piedmont in the llanos (grassland plain) to the southeast covers the remaining 22%.</p><br>
<h2>Climate</h2><br>
<p>The climate varies considerably depending on the relief of each area, which affects the prevailing winds and precipitation.</p><br>
<p>The climate is tropical in the premontane piedmont and the low mountains, and in some valleys, semi-arid in regions like Lobatera, San Antonio del Táchira and Ureña, and humid in the upper and middle basins of the Uribante, Dorados and Camburito rivers.</p><br>
<p>On the southeastern slope the influence of air masses from the llanos causes a single rainy season, usually from April to November.</p><br>
<p>On the northwestern slope the influence of Lake Maracaibo causes rainy seasons from April to June and from September to November, and dry seasons from December to March and from July to August.</p><br>
<p>In some areas the lack of water means that agriculture depends on irrigation, while in others the excess rain causes erosion and flooding.</p><br>
<h2>Ecology</h2><br>
<p>The depression is divided between the Cordillera Oriental montane forests ecoregion to the southwest and the Venezuelan Andes montane forests ecoregion to the northeast.</p><br>
<p>It merges into the Catatumbo moist forests ecoregion to the northwest and the Apure-Villavicencio dry forests ecoregion to the southeast.</p><br>
<p>It has been assumed that the Táchira Depression is a barrier to movement of species between the Venezuelan Cordillera de Mérida and the Colombian Cordillera Oriental, since flora and fauna adapted to the cool, moist mountain climate would find the warm, dry conditions in the depression unsuitable.</p><br>
<p>However, during the Last Glacial Maximum from around 26,500 to 20,000 years before the present the cooler climate led to upper vegetation belts moving down to lower regions.</p><br>
<p>The cool mesic habitats of the Cordillera Oriental and Cordillera de Mérida may have extended across the Táchira depression during this period.</p><br>
<p>A 2015 study that compared the vulnerable Merida brocket (Mazama bricenii) of the Venezuelan cordillera to its relative the little red brocket (Mazama rufina) of the Colombian cordillera found that Mazama bricenii should not be considered a separate species.</p><br>
<p>The two populations would have exchanged genes until the start of the present Holocene interglacial period, and may still be doing so.</p><br>
<p>This may apply to other mammal species thought to be endemic to the Venezuelan cordillera.</p><br>
<p>The only Venezuelan endemic species that clearly met the conditions of being restricted to cloud forest and/or páramo, and of being distinctive from relatives in the Colombian cordillera, were Reig&#39;s montane mouse (Aepeomys reigi), Merida small-eared shrew (Cryptotis meridensis) and eastern mountain coati (Nasuella meridensis).</p><br>
<h2>Economy</h2><br>
<p>The depression is important in giving access from Lake Maracaibo to the southern llanos and to Colombia.</p><br>
<p>The mountains from 800 to 1800 m have good potential for coffee cultivation.</p><br>
<p>There are coffee plantations and fruit trees in some very localized areas of the mountains, and there are areas with agroforestry potential.</p><br>
<p>Typically the soil in the short and narrow valleys is alluvial, caused by flooding, and valuable for farming.</p><br>
<p>The piedmont region also has high agricultural potential.</p><br>
<p>The valleys and piedmont areas are suitable for cultivation of flowers, fruit and livestock for milk.</p><br>
<p>As of 1983 the Uribante-Caparo hydroelectric complex was being built. with several dams on the Uribante, Doradas, Camburito and Capero rivers, designed to produce 1,350 Mw of power.</p><br>
<p>Micro-generating plants were planned on watercourses where dams are not practical.</p><br>
<p>The region, with its dramatic landscape, diverse climate and traditional cultures has considerable tourism potential.</p><br>
<p>Coal mining in the Táchira depression may threaten the Venezuelan Andes montane forests ecoregion in the adjacent Tamá Masif.</p><br>
<p>Millen High School is a high school in Millen, Georgia. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002. The listing included two contributing buildings and one non-contributing building.</p><br>
<p>The present high school serving the area is the Jenkins County High School, in Millen.</p><br>
<p>The main building was built in 1922, and was designed by Augusta architects Scroggs & Ewing. It is a two-story T-shaped wood frame building with a brick veneer. It has Classical Revival elements.</p><br>
<p>A second, one-story L-shaped building was built during 1941-1943. It was started as a Works Progress Administration-funded project, and it served as an elementary school.</p><br>
<p>A lunchroom building was built in 1962 in between the other two buildings, and linked by covered walkways.</p><br>
<p>All three buildings in the historic school building complex have been demolished.</p><br>
<p>Debris from the demolition of the Old Primary School was burned in April 2011.</p><br>
<p>The McLoughlin Promenade is a scenic pathway located on Singer Hill Bluff, on the southeast bank of the Willamette River overlooking Oregon City in the USA state of Oregon.</p><br>
<p>It was constructed 1936–1939 on land once inhabited by the Molala and other indigenous peoples. Named after Oregon pioneer John McLoughlin who donated his personal real estate for the purpose of a city promenade, the design and implementation of it was part of a joint public works effort between Oregon and the United States government. The pathway courses 100 ft above Oregon City and features the Grand Staircase and the man-made Singer Creek Falls. Lighting was added by the local Kiwanis club in 1972, and the Lee Kelly Moontrap bas-relief addition at the bottom of the falls was sponsored by the Rotary Club in 2011.</p><br>
<h2>John McLoughlin</h2><br>
<p>Canadian citizen John McLoughlin was empowered in 1824 to act as Chief Factor of the Columbia District for the Hudson&#39;s Bay Company in the Oregon Country, a region that was jointly occupied by the British, Canadians and Americans. Recognized by the 1957 Oregon Legislative Assembly as "the father of Oregon", McLoughlin built Fort Vancouver and was instrumental in boosting both the lumber industry and the fur trading economy. The state of Oregon estimates that he established approximately 20 trading posts.</p><br>
<p>According to the National Park Service, Singer Hill Bluff had been inhabited by various Native American tribes, predominately the Molala (or Molalla) people, several thousand years before the arrival of the settlers of European ancestry. McLoughlin platted the town of Oregon City on and below the bluff in 1842. After the United States and Great Britain signed the 1846 Oregon Treaty establishing the US-Canadian boundary at the 49th parallel, he resigned from the Hudson&#39;s Bay Company and retired to Oregon City.</p><br>
<h2>Construction and maintenance</h2><br>
<p>The linear 7.8 acre McLoughlin Promenade is composed of the natural features on Singer Hill Bluff, and the man-made structures created by the Works Progress Administration (WPA) 1936–1939. Oregon&#39;s State Emergency Relief Agency (SERA) was purposed to provide assistance for the unemployed, and the WPA was a government jobs creation program during the administration of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, that included historic preservation, programs in the arts, and building or improving infrastructure such as parks. The promenade project was proposed by SERA as a joint venture between the two.</p><br>
<p>City Manager John L. Franzen, a civil engineer educated at Washington State University, oversaw the implementation of the WPA projects within the city. He was the designer of the promenade. The predominate feature of the promenade is a scenic 10 ft wide and 2,300 ft long pedestrian pathway paved with stone and concrete. Approximately 100 ft above Oregon City, it courses the 7.8 acre Singer Hill Bluff strip between Tumwater Drive on the south end, and the Oregon City Municipal Elevator on the north end. The side of the pathway that overlooks the city features 1,400 linear feet of basalt barrier walls and posts of varying heights.</p><br>
<p>The north end of the pathway adjoins the Grand Staircase, which was constructed along Singer Hill Trail, a route used by these indigenous peoples as they traveled to and from the Willamette River. One flight down, the staircase veers two opposing directions. The east leg turns towards an illuminated pedestrian underpass, after which that direction of the staircase rises two flights to the McLoughlin House historic site. On the west side of this juncture, Singer Creek is channeled through the staircase to the man-made Singer Creek Falls designed by Franzen. The water flows over 20 ft wide concrete slabs, down the bluff towards the river. The west leg of the staircase leads towards city sidewalks and the municipal elevator.</p><br>
<p>When a new elevator was installed and moved slightly in 1955, the Grand Staircase was reconfigured accordingly. Oregon City&#39;s Kiwanis club performed maintenance on the promenade in 1969 clearing overgrowth, and they installed lighting in 1972. It underwent restoration of stone and concrete between 2004 and 2010.</p><br>
<h2>NRHP and miscellaneous information</h2><br>
<p>The promenades designer J. L. Franzen served as Oregon Citys manager for two decades before being hired as Salem City Manager, a post he held until his retirement nine and a half years later.</p><br>
<p>In 2011, the local Rotary Club celebrated its own 75th anniversary in Oregon City by commissioning Oregon sculptor Lee Kelly to create the Moontrap bas-relief at the base of Singer Creek Falls.</p><br>
<p>McLoughlin Promenade was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 15, 2014.</p><br>

<p>Linton Falls, is a multi-step waterfall of 8 tiers located in the heart of the Three Sisters Wilderness, just east of the North Sister volcano on Oregon Route 242 in Lane County, in the USA state of Oregon. It totals 615 feet fall in eight drops, the tallest and last drop is 85 feet.</p><br>
<p>The waters of Linton Falls drain into the Linton Lake along the McKenzie Pass corridor and one of the main destinations along the Proxy Falls trailhead. Several unnamed waterfalls continue upstream until reaching Duncan Falls, approximately 1 mile from the Upper Linton tier.</p><br>
<p>Linton Falls has high sinuosity, frequent terraces, sloping terrains and is surrounded by thick forests, all of which makes it impossible to see in its entirety from a single view point. Past the Lower Linton Falls, the trek upstream is unmarked and mostly inaccessible.</p><br>
<p>The Lake Meston is a natural lake that is located in the central northern region of Tasmania, Australia in the Walls of Jerusalem National Park, and is the source of the Mersey River.</p><br>
<h2>Early Inhabitants</h2><br>
<p>In 1922, brothers Arthur and Percy Youd built a hut at Lake Meston establishing a large hunting territory for fur that covered a wide area to the north, east and south of the lake. Percy became ill and died in 1928, Arthur continued to hunt from Lake Meston for 60 Years.</p><br>
<p>Arthur was trapped in his hut by snow at one stage. This story was relayed to Dick Read another Bushmen that roamed the highlands and was incorporated into the design of a new hut built by Dick and his friends at Lake Meston.</p><br>
<h2>Recent use</h2><br>
<p>The hut is now used by bushwalkers and keen fishermen alike.</p><br>
<p>Rainbow trout were first introduced into these waterways by the one and only airdrop of rainbows into Lake Meston in the 1950s.</p><br>
<p>Krka Cave  is a horizontal karst cave and an occasional source of the Krka River in Dry Carniola, central Slovenia. It lies in a pocket valley between the villages of Trebnja Gorica to the east and Gradiček to the west, north of the village of Krka. Water flows into the cave from the Račna Karst Field south of the town of Grosuplje and emerges a few metres below the cave&#39;s main entrance in the karst spring of the Krka. The cave, which is of archaeological and historical significance and features great fauna diversity, is open to announced tourist visits in the presence of a guide and also used as an event venue.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<h3>Entrances</h3><br>
<p>The main entrance lies on the southern side of the cave and is secured with grates. Stone stairs lead to it from the source lake of the Krka. Due to the frequent flooding of the cultivated Račna Karst Field, it was widened with explosives in 1937 to ease the water outflow. In heavy downpours, the Krka bursts through it and flows in a torrential waterfall over the steps in front of the cave. Up in a wall next to it, there is a small side entrance.</p><br>
<h3>Interior</h3><br>
<p>The dry part of the cave has a length of 210 m and a width of 30 m. Its central part serves as a canal in heavy downpours. At the end of the dry part, there is a 30 m-long sump lake continuing into a system of underground tunnels. The total explored tunnel length is 490 m. The cave decoration is rather scarce; much of it has been destroyed due to earthquakes and vandalism. For this reason, the cave has since 1995 been locked and is accessible only in the presence of a guide. Dripstones are rare; the ceiling is formed by rock layers and remains of flowstones. Numerous pareidolias can be seen.</p><br>
<h3>Biodiversity</h3><br>
<p>Krka Cave is home to over 30 animal species, including bats and olms. The 19th-century writer found a hitherto unknown beetle in it, and the crustacean Typhlocypris cavicola is endemic to the cave.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>As evidenced by the 1956 finding of the Lengyel ceramics, the cave was already frequented in the Neolithic. In the 15th and 16th centuries, the locals hid there during the Ottoman invasions, as described in the story (1864) of the 19th-century Slovene writer Josip Jurčič, born in the vicinity. In the 17th century, the cave was visited by the polymath Valvasor. For the first time, it was surveyed by Jan Vladimír Hráský in 1887. Since 1927, it has been registered in the cadastre of Slovenian caves under number 74. Today, it occasionally serves as a concert venue for renowned Slovenian and Croatian musicians, e.g. choir singers at Christmas, Siddharta (2008), or Zlatan Stipišić Gibonni (2010).</p><br>
