<p>Domen is a mountain on the Varanger Peninsula in eastern Finnmark county, Norway. The 164 m tall mountain is located near the coast between the small fishing village Kiberg and the island of Vardøya. Domen is bare and flat-topped, with a steep slope towards the Barents Sea below. The European route E75 highway which runs along the western side of the mountain from Svartnes to Kiberg. The road is often closed in the winter due to bad weather.</p><br>
<h2>Name</h2><br>
<p>The Old Norse name of the Arctic Sea was Dumbshaf. This sea (haf) was named after the mountain Dumbr (an old form of Domen). The name is probably related to the English word dumb, but in what meaning is unclear.</p><br>
<h2>History and folklore</h2><br>
<p>Domen is often associated with the witch trials in Finnmark during the 17th century. Vardø was the site of approximately 70 witch trials between 1601 and 1663. This was a large number, since there were only a couple of hundred inhabitants in the area at that time.</p><br>
<p>According to folklore, Vardø and Domen became infamous as the end of the world, Ultima Thule and the entrance to Hell was said to be somewhere around Domen or Vardø, and so witches flew to Domen to meet the devil for sabbath.</p><br>
<p>The Dr. John Quincy Howe House is a notable house located in Phelps, New York. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the house is thought to be the only house in the state of New York with a two-story privy and the only house in the United States with a two-story brick privy.</p><br>
<p>Note: This includes</p><br>
<p>The house is owned by the Phelps Community Historical Society and is operated as a museum.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>It was built in 1869 by Moses Barlow on the site of a former tavern, and is a 2 1/2-story, Second Empire style brick dwelling with a slate mansard roof. The house has several asymmetrically placed side and rear wings. It features a two-story six-hole (three up, three down) privy thought to be the only house with such a structure. Access to the unique feature can be obtained from both levels of the house.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.</p><br>
<p>The house was purchased by an anonymous donor in 1999 and presented as a gift to the Phelps Community Historical Society. The house has been renovated and is now open to the public for tours.</p><br>
<p>Gorhams Cave is a natural sea cave in the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar. It is considered to be one of the last known habitations of the Neanderthals in Europe. It gives its name to the Gorhams Cave complex, which is a combination of four distinct caves of such importance that they are combined into a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the only one in Gibraltar. The three other caves are Vanguard Cave, Hyaena Cave, and Bennett&#39;s Cave.</p><br>
<p>It is located on the southeastern face of the Rock of Gibraltar. When first inhabited some 55,000 years ago, it would have been approximately 5 kilometres from the shore, but, due to changes in sea level, it is now only a few metres from the Mediterranean Sea.</p><br>
<h2>Discovery</h2><br>
<p>The cave is named after Captain A. Gorham of the 2nd Battalion Royal Munster Fusiliers who discovered it in 1907, when opening a fissure at the rear of a sea cavern. Gorham inscribed his name and the date of his discovery in lamp-black on the wall of the cave, which has borne his name ever since. After this initial discovery, it seems the cave was forgotten—at least at an official level—as Gibraltarian historian and potholer George Palao recalls an inscription on the cave wall that read J. J. Davies 1943.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Gorham&#39;s Cave is sea cave which has formed in Jurassic limestone. Total length of this cave is approximately 100 m and at the entrance it is approximately 35 m high. Further inside the cave becomes narrower and turns per approximately 90 degrees. From the entrance of cave opens a view on Alboran Sea. It is possible that during further research the cave will become longer.</p><br>
<h2>Archaeology</h2><br>
<p>Gorhams Cave has been a site of archaeological interest since its importance was first recognised. The beach below the cave (Governors Beach) had been inaccessible from the cliffs above; however, after one episode of a tunnelling project in the rock, the beach and cave became accessible due to the pile of spoil that was created.</p><br>
<p>Royal Engineers Keighley and Ward were the first to report artefacts of archaeological interest in the cave via the Gibraltar newspapers. They had found pottery and stone tools. Moreover, they reported that human and animal remains had been discovered in Gorham&#39;s cave. Rev. F. E. Brown of the Gibraltar Society reported these findings to the governor of Gibraltar who requested further investigations after a site visit. These investigations were reported to the British Museum for their deliberation.</p><br>
<p>Lieutenant George Baker Alexander, Royal Engineer and a graduate geologist from the University of Cambridge, arrived in Gibraltar in 1945. He decided to make a geological survey of Gibraltar that resulted in a detailed geological map. Alexander was the first to excavate Gorham’s Cave, before his departure from Gibraltar in 1948 after the Gibraltar Museum challenged his methods. There are no preserved materials about these excavations.</p><br>
<p>In 1945, the governor wrote to the British Museum requesting that they continue further explorations of the cave. The museum had no resources, however, so they forwarded his enquiry to Professor Dorothy Garrod at Cambridge, who had found a Neanderthal skull at Devils Tower Cave during her earlier work in Gibraltar in the 1920s. Garrod sought the assistance of Dr. John dArcy Waechter, a fellow of the British Institute of Archaeology at Ankara. Waechter arrived in September 1948 and spent two months digging test pits to see if further excavation would be justified. Waechter&#39;s success resulted in his return in June 1950. He went back to England in 1951, without concluding the work and returned from February to July 1952. During a final visit in 1954 he successfully requested financial assistance from the local government to complete his work.</p><br>
<h2>Continuing excavation</h2><br>
<p>Excavation of this site has resulted in the discovery of four layers of stratigraphy. Level I has produced evidence for eighth to third centuries BC use by Phoenicians. Below that, level II produced evidence for brief Neolithic use. Level III has yielded at least 240 Upper Paleolithic artefacts of Magdalenian and Solutrean origin. Level IV has produced 103 items, including spear-points, knives, and scraping devices that are identified as Mousterian, and shows repeated use over thousands of years.</p><br>
<p>Accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) dating gives dates for level IV of between 33 and 23 thousand years before the present (kyr BP)—the researchers felt that the uncertainties at this time depth made calibration impractical. They suggest occupation until at least 28 kyr BP and possibly 24 kyr BP. No fossil remains have been found that would allow identification pointing to either Neanderthal or anatomically modern human inhabitants, nor associated with findings of a modern human in a site at nearby Abrigo do Lagar Velho, Portugal of 24,500 years ago who may have featured Neanderthal genetic admixtures, although Mousterian culture normally is identified with Neanderthals in Europe.</p><br>
<h2>Scratched floor</h2><br>
<p>The floor of the cave was found to be deeply scratched in July 2012. Researchers uncovered a series of criss-crossing lines over ~1 m, cut into the surface of a ledge about 100 m from its entrance. The scratches consist of eight lines arranged in two groups of three long lines and intersected by two shorter ones, which has been used to suggest it is a symbol. The scratches are thought to be at least 39,000 years old, because they were found below a layer of undisturbed sediment of that age in which hundreds of Neanderthal stone tools were discovered.</p><br>
<p>The attribution of the scratches to Neanderthals is disputed. Matt Pope of University College London cautions that "linking them directly to Neanderthal populations, or proving Neanderthals made them without any contact with modern humans is harder. The dates were indirectly obtained and refer to the material from within sediments covering the scratches and not the marks themselves. Given the dates also span a period when we know modern humans have reached Europe, a period where we have unresolved transitional archaeological evidence difficult to attribute to either population, I&#39;d be cautious in accepting Neanderthal authorship."</p><br>
<p>Nevertheless, it has been described as "abstract art" by Joaquín Rodríguez-Vidal of the University of Huelva, for whom it is "the first directly demonstrable example of an abstract work, carried out consistently and with care and requiring prolonged and concentrated work, that has been produced in a cave." He claims that "creating paintings or carvings in caves is seen as a cognitive step in human development. This behaviour was considered exclusive to modern humans and has been used as an argument to distinguish our direct ancestors from ancient man, including Neanderthals."</p><br>
<p>The issue of the artistic abilities of Neanderthals has been a long-running topic of controversy. Other alleged examples of Neanderthal art have been found in other caves in Europe, including motifs in Spain, and possible "jewellery" in France.</p><br>
<p>The team researching the Gorhams Cave scratches sought to determine whether it might have been produced accidentally, for example as a by-product of using the rock as a surface for cutting meat or fur. They carried out experiments with tools similar to those that would have been available at the time to carve grooves into blocks of similar dolomite rock, to identify how the scratches might have been made. They decided that the lines were most likely created by using a pointed tool or cutting edge to scrape repeatedly along, and deepen, an existing groove, taking as many as 300 strokes and requiring at least an hours work. In addition, the scratches are in what would have been a very visible location and would have been immediately noticeable to anyone entering the cave.</p><br>
<p>Those who claim it has symbolic meaning cannot explain what it would have meant. Clive Finlayson of the Gibraltar Museum notes that "the engraving is at the point in the cave where the caves orientation changes by 90 degrees" and speculates whether the scratches were related to the location: "Its almost like Clapham Junction, like its showing an intersection. Im speculating, but it does make you wonder whether it has something to do with mapping, or saying: This is where you are." Francesco dErrico, the director of research at CRNS, comments: "Its in a fixed location so, for example, it could be something to indicate to other Neanderthals visiting the cave that somebody was already using it, or that there was a group that owned that cave." Harrold Dibble comments that "It takes more than a few scratches—deliberate or not—to identify symbolic behaviour on the part of Neanderthals."</p><br>
<h2>UNESCO World Heritage Site</h2><br>
<p>Gorhams Cave gives its name to the Gorhams Cave complex, which is a grouping of four distinct caves of such importance that they are combined into a UNESCO heritage site. The three other caves are the nearby Vanguard Cave, the Hyaena Cave, and Bennett&#39;s Cave.</p><br>
<p>In November 2010, the Gorhams Cave complex was put forward to compete for a nomination as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Professor Clive Finlayson, director of the Gibraltar Museum, was responsible for co-ordinating the efforts to obtain this nomination. The first step was a proposal to the United Kingdom cultural authorities to get Gorhams Cave complex added to the UK&#39;s World Heritage Tentative List. Such a list is revised every ten years, and the process for a new list was ongoing at the date of the submission.</p><br>
<p>The ownership of land associated with Gorham&#39;s Cave was passed from the UK Ministry of Defence to the government of Gibraltar in 2011. The agreement swapped this MOD land and more than 300 MOD houses with the government of Gibraltar, who in exchange agreed to build 90 new houses on remaining MOD land.</p><br>
<p>In May 2012 Gorhams Cave complex was on the short list of two sites, along with the Forth Rail Bridge, that was forwarded for submission to UNESCO. The site was inscribed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site on 15 July 2016, and is Gibraltars only World Heritage Site.</p><br>
<p>The River Loud is a river of Lancashire, England.</p><br>
<p>Starting out on Parlick, the Loud meanders mainly through the parish of Chipping, tracing its course first south-west, then south-east and, at Gill Bridge by Withinreap Farm, east before veering north-east, on a similar alignment to Longridge Road, passing Hesketh Lane and collecting Chipping Brook from Chipping to the north, before joining the east-flowing River Hodder near Doeford Bridge.</p><br>
<p>In geological history, the lower reaches of the Loud carried the waters of the River Hodder westward from Doeford Bridge to the Derby Arms north of Longridge (reversing the modern-day eastward flow), continuing south-westward through Halfpenny Lane on the west side of Longridge to join either Blundell Brook past Broughton church and Woodplumpton to join the River Wyre, or else Savick Brook through Fulwood to join the River Ribble.</p><br>
<p>The Robert Lee McKenzie House  is a historic house in Panama City, Florida, at 17 East 3rd Court. It was added to the USA National Register of Historic Places on August 21, 1986. Robert Lee McKenzie was the first mayor of Panama City and a civic leader for fifty years. The house is a two-story clapboard frame dwelling built in the Dutch Colonial style typical of turn-of-the-20th-century houses in Northern Michigan. It was built in 1909 by Belle Booth who married R. L. McKenzie in 1912; the house was enlarged in 1925.</p><br>
<p>McKenzie acquired waterfront property and organized the Gulf Coast Development Company with the intent of making Panama City "Atlantas outlet to the Panama Canal." McKenzie served as mayor of Panama City and two consecutive terms as state representative from Washington County in the Florida Legislature. "Most of the important events of the towns development for a period of over 50 years (1902-1956) are linked with his name and efforts," and the office/library of the McKenzie House was the center of his business activities. In 1964, the park across the street was renamed McKenzie Park in honor of his service to the community.</p><br>
<p>The Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Immaculate Conception is the cathedral of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Lafayette in Indiana. It is located at 1207 Columbia Street in Lafayette, Indiana.</p><br>
<p>The congregation began in 1843 when a small group of Irish Catholic families in the area met for Mass in rented space. By the following year, they raised enough money to construct their own building. The brick Church of Sts. Mary and Martha stood at the intersection of Fifth and Brown Streets and was completed in 1846. In 1850, a school was constructed on adjacent land which came under administration of the Oblate Sisters of Providence in 1858.</p><br>
<p>In 1860, parishioner Lawrence Stockton donated a plot of land on Columbia Street to pastor Reverend Edmund Kilroy for construction of a church, rectory and school. Preliminary work began shortly thereafter, but stopped when the Civil War began in April 1861.</p><br>
<p>Reverend George Hamilton replaced Fr. Kilroy as pastor and oversaw completion of construction. The Gothic-style church was dedicated August 15, 1866.</p><br>
<p>In 1944, the Diocese of Lafayette-in-Indiana was created by dividing the Diocese of Fort Wayne and St. Mary&#39;s Church was chosen as cathedral for the new diocese. The Cathedral has undergone a number of changes including an interior redecoration and addition of a social hall in 2001.</p><br>
<p>The Erwin House  is a historic site in Greenwood, Florida. It is located on Fort Road, east of SR 71. On June 5, 1974, it was added to the USA National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The house was first home to John A. Syfrett and other small farmers, who purchased 150 acre of Greenwood land in 1839. Though not among the landed gentry, these respected farmers were important to the agricultural output of Jackson County. The Syfrett family&#39;s prosperity is indicated by several outbuildings: a barn, smoke house, carriage house, office building, and small slave cabin.</p><br>
<p>The Syfrett farm was sold to Mary Roberts in 1851. The title followed through the possession of Henry Bryan to Dr. Franklin Hart in 1855. The house was purchased by M.F. Erwin in 1861 and has remained in the family name.</p><br>
<p>The Ely-Criglar House  is a historic site in Marianna, Florida. It is located at 242 West Lafayette Street. On December 27, 1972, it was added to the USA National Register of Historic Places. Built by slaves from native limestone, the Greek Revival structure was completed c. 1840, as the Manor House for Francis R. Ely&#39;s 1,629 acre cotton plantation. "Ely Corner" is the site of The Battle of Marianna, where Federal troops attacked in September 1864 during The War Between The States. Defending the town against the enemy were old men and boys, too old or too young for regular military service and those furloughed or home due to illness.</p><br>
<p>The Battle of Marianna began at a barricade erected by the old men and boys at Ely&#39;s Corner, the southwest corner of the property, at the junction of St. Andrews Bay Road and Campbellton Road.</p><br>
<p>High Pike is a fell in the northern part of the English Lake District, it is located 4.5 kilometres south of Caldbeck. It has a height of 658 metres  and is the most northerly of the Lakeland fells over 2000 feet. It is a large fell with its northern slopes falling away towards the lower ground between Caldbeck and Carlisle. Like the neighbouring Carrock Fell it has been extensively mined and the wealth created by the abundant variety of minerals on High Pike led to the saying "Caldbeck fells are worth all England else". This fell should not be confused with another Lake District High Pike situated in Scandale near Ambleside.</p><br>
<h2>Summit</h2><br>
<p>High Pike’s summit is of some interest, it is used as a beacon by the population of Caldbeck and a fire is lit to celebrate important events such as the Millennium and coronations. The summit also has a massive cairn which was originally a shepherds cottage and has become a ruin. There is a trig point which has been mounted with a plaque which says “To Celebrate Caldbeck Parish’s Millennium Celebrations”, there is also a substantial wind shelter nearby which has also been built from the stones from the ruined cottage. However, the most unusual of High Pike’s summit fixtures is a slate bench which bears the inscription “In memory of Mick Lewis who loved all these fells”, he died in 1944 aged 16 and a small add-on is in memory of his mother who died in 1970. Famous mountaineer Chris Bonington lives in nearby Caldbeck and is he is often to be seen walking his dog on High Pike, he told a local newspaper in May 2005</p><br>
<p>“This (High Pike) is a hill I feel truly at home on, It has always been one I can return to after climbing some serious peak in the Himalaya or Alps and return to earth. It has the most wonderful changing moods. The light is ever-shifting across the fell making a kaleidoscope of colours, and its wildlife is fascinating.”</p><br>
<h2>Mining</h2><br>
<p>The mines of High Pike, which all lie on its northern slopes, have yielded numerous minerals since the 16th century, in fact, the most famous, Roughtongill is reputed to have yielded 23 different ores. Copper was extracted at the Sandbeds mine while lead and copper was mined at Driggeth mine. Latter some of the mines were reopened during the second world war for the extraction of barytes which was needed for the production of munitions, the last mine closed in 1966.</p><br>
<h2>Ascents</h2><br>
<p>A direct ascent of High Pike is usually done from the north, starting around the Caldbeck area, however the fell is often climbed in conjunction with the nearby fells of Carrock Fell, Knott and Great Calva making a circular walk that starts and finishes near Mosedale to the south of Carrock Fell.</p><br>
<h2>Summit</h2><br>
<p>High Pike’s position on the northern perimeter of the Lake District gives a fine view of the Solway Firth and the Scottish Border hills to the north. However the view south is severely curtailed by the bulks of Skiddaw and Blencathra and the main body of Lakeland is not seen well. High Pike has two subsidiary tops which are also classed as Nuttall fells, Hare Stones (627 metres) and Great Lingy Hill (616 metres) lie to the south west of the main summit at a distance of 600 metres and one kilometre respectively.</p><br>
<h2>Geodesy</h2><br>
<p>High Pike was the origin (meridian) of the 6 inch and 1:2500 Ordnance Survey maps for Cumberland.</p><br>
<p>Beacon Fell is a fell located in the southern Lake District of England with an altitude of 836 ft. It is the subject of a chapter of Wainwright&#39;s book The Outlying Fells of Lakeland.</p><br>
<p>Geographically, the fell is located in the Blawith Fells to the west of the bottom end of Coniston Water. The fell is above Beacon Tarn and can be accessed from quiet paths off the main road from Water Yeat to Torver. Wainwright describes an ascent from Brown Howe, passing over the summit and down to Beacon Tarn (also visited on his Woodland Fell walk) before returning on the western slopes on the line of the Cumbria Way.</p><br>
<p>Although it is relatively low, it has panoramic views of the Coniston Fells, Coniston Water and Morecambe Bay.</p><br>
<p>It should not be confused with Beacon Fell in Lancashire.</p><br>
<p>The Bronson–Mulholland House, , is an historic site located at 100 Madison Street, in Palatka, Florida. Sunny Point was built in 1854. On December 27, 1972, it was added to the USA National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Bronson era: 1852–1860</h3><br>
<p>Judge Isaac H. Bronson probably first considered moving to Palatka, Florida in 1852 when the "Palatka Tract" of about 1,220 acres was conveyed in trust to him by three prominent Palatka families – the Reids, the Carrs, and the Burts. In May 1855, Isaac and his wife Sophronia re-conveyed the tract to James Burt, excluding their estate known as Sunny Point, lands that had been sold by Bronson, and a number of lots held for Sophronia Bronson.</p><br>
<p>Through the early deed and mortgage books, it is possible to pinpoint the time the Bronsons built their home in Palatka and took up residence there. In September 1852 Bronson is referred to as a resident of St. Augustine, Florida, whereas in the following March he is listed as a resident of Palatka. Thus we can assume that in 1853 the Bronsons decided to make Palatka their home, as in that year they also marked off 10 acres of land along the St. Johns River which they named Sunny Point. A mortgage record dated March 3, 1854 notes Sunny point as "Being the point of ground upon which said Bronson is now building and cultivating grounds." Sunny Point was removed from the mortgage on the "Palatka Tract" on October 16, 1854, being lands "set apart by the said Bronson for his own residence, and on which he has lately erected a dwelling house and other buildings." Most likely, the Bronsons spent the winter of 1854 in their new home.</p><br>
<p>It is assumed that Bronson had cypress cut from lands near the mouth of the Ocklawaha River and brought to Sunny Point by raft. It is known that Bronson was part owner of the Palatka Saw Mill Company, which had a steam saw mill erected by August 1853. The lumber for the Bronson home was probably cut by that saw.</p><br>
<h4>The Bronsons and Palatka</h4><br>
<p>The Bronsons took active roles in the development of their new home town. Judge Bronson prepared and sponsored the city charter for Palatka in the state legislature. He also petitioned that the town be made the county seat of Putnam County, Florida. Additionally, he donated the land for the county courthouse, where it still stands today. The Bronsons and their two daughters, Gertrude and Emma, were members of the St. Marks Church, of which Isaac Bronson was chairman and one of the first vestrymen.</p><br>
<p>Isaac and Sophronia entertained in their new home. Among their visitors were William Dunn Moseley, Florida&#39;s first state governor, Robert Raymond Reid, another Florida governor, and Benjamin A. Putnam, for whom the county was named. The American Guide Series describes Sunny Point as a public social center in the 1850s.</p><br>
<p>Isaac Bronson died on August 13, 1855, and was buried in a fifteen square foot plot at the southwest corner of Sunny Point. On his mausoleum were the words "In his death men have lost a friend, Society an upright citizen, and the Church a humble and loving son." When Sophronia Bronson sold the property to Charlotte J. Henry in 1867, the new owner agreed to preserve the burial plot. In 1892 the Bronson daughters, Emma and Gertrude, agreed to return the fifteen square feet of land to the current owners upon the removal of Isaac Bronsons grave. Today, Judge Isaac Bronsons mausoleum rests in Palatka&#39;s Oak Hill Cemetery.</p><br>
<p>In 1854, prior to his passing, Isaac Bronson made George A. Fairbanks a trustee of Sunny Point for Sophronia Bronson. Fairbanks paid $3,000, and the step was taken either to protect Sophronia after the death of her husband, or financial reasons. After her husbands death, Sophronia Bronson remained at Sunny Point. Deed records dated November 1856 indicate that Mrs. Bronson was in Palatka at that time. Donations made to St. Marks Church up to April 1860 suggest that she was at Sunny Point until the outbreak of the Civil War. At that time, she probably returned to her home state of New York, although the earliest record of her being there is in June 1866. Sophronia Bronson died in Morristown, New Jersey, in June 1874.</p><br>
<h3>Civil War: 1861–1865</h3><br>
<p>Sunny Point was vacant during the Civil War. It is believed that, early in the war, Confederate soldiers used the attic of the house as a lookout when Union forces were approaching down the St. John&#39;s River. In 1864, Union troops occupied the city of Palatka and utilized Sunny Point as an encampment. The house was also utilized by Union troops as a lookout for Confederate blockade runners.</p><br>
<h3>White Era: 1866–1904</h3><br>
<h4>Charlotte Henry and the Freedman's Union Commission School</h4><br>
<p>Charlotte Henry (eventually becoming Charlotte White) was originally from New York, and became a close associate with Sophronia Bronson when she returned to New York from Palatka. How connections formed between the two is unknown, but there are several possibilities; one of these being the fact that they were both abolitionists. In any case, an association was formed, and it was instrumental in Charlotte Henrys decision to come to Palatka. According to the records, Miss Henry purchased 300 acres of land located seven miles from Palatka in October 1865. In January 1866 she opened a school in Palatka which was supported by the New York branch of the Freedmans Union Commission. Although there is no record of where the first classes were held, later evidence indicates that Miss Henry&#39;s school always met at Sunny Point.</p><br>
<p>Sunny Point was leased by Sophronia Bronson to the Freedmans Union Commission in November 1866. At that time Charlotte Henry was teaching over 60 African American children. We can assume that she enjoyed her work and was happy at Sunny Point because she made arrangements to buy the property from Mrs. Bronson. Miss Henry paid $6,000 and agreed to honor the lease made to the Freedmans Union Commission.</p><br>
<p>Charlotte Henry continued her school in Palatka through June 1868. It is believed that she also handed out the provisions sent by the government for the students every Saturday. Unfortunately, the school was closed in 1868. However, the fact that Miss Henry remained in Palatka after the schools closing indicates that she and the townspeople got along well. The most likely reason for the closing of the school was financial. Around the time of the schools closing, the Superintendent of Education Charles H. Foster received a letter from the Freedmans Union Commission informing him that "greatly to their regret they will not be able to continue the work they have hitherto prosecuted in Florida." The entire Freedmans Union Commission was beginning to dissolve, and would do so completely by the next year.</p><br>
<h4>Charlotte and Nathaniel P. White</h4><br>
<p>In March 1873, Nathaniel P. White took over Miss Henrys mortgage on the other property she owned outside Palatka. The two were probably married by that time, with the wedding taking place in New York. The earliest documented date of Charlotte Henry as Mrs. Nathaniel P. White was in 1874, when the couple was listed as members of St. Marks Episcopal Church. Nathaniel White was originally from Port Huron, Michigan, so speculation is that he was on vacation in Palatka when he met Miss Henry.</p><br>
<p>According to the records of St. Marks church, all White family contributions were made in the winter months. An article in the Eastern Herald dating September 25, 1875, stated that "Bronsons point is looking grand and beautiful, but it needs its occupants N.P. White, Esq., and his excellent wife to charm it into life." Likewise, on June 3, 1892, The Palatka Weekly Times noted that N.P. White was leaving for Pennsylvania, having spent the previous two summers in New Hampshire and Michigan. This leads one to believe that Sunny Point had become a summer home for the Whites.</p><br>
<p>Nathaniel White died in Port Huron in December 1895, leaving Charlotte as the sole heir of his real and personal property both in Michigan and Florida. Where and how Mrs. White spent her time after the death of her husband is unknown, but she probably spent much of it at Sunny Point. In 1899 her name appears as a member of the St. Marks Church, and she died in Palatka in January 1904 at the age of 82. She is buried in Oak Hill Cemetery in Palatka – the same cemetery that contains Judge Isaac Bronsons mausoleum.</p><br>
<h3>Mulholland era: 1904–1945</h3><br>
<p>Mary Mulholland was born in 1842. According to Edelmira Rivero, who later lived with her for several years, Miss Mulholland took nursing training at the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts. She then went on with her studies, stopping three months short of becoming a medical doctor. It was in Boston that she met Charlotte White, but in what year is unknown.</p><br>
<p>There most likely reason for Mary Mulholland&#39;s arrival at Sunny Point was that she spent her vacations with the Whites and stayed on to help care for Nathaniel White when he became ill. After his death in 1895, she remained with Charlotte at Sunny Point.</p><br>
<p>In January 1904, a few days before her death, Charlotte White conveyed Sunny Point to Mary Mulholland. The property at the time included almost the same land that Sophronia Bronson had sold her in 1867. However, Miss Mulholland was unable to keep the estate intact. In 1914 she began selling lots for residential purposes and by 1936 at least seven other homes stood on what was once part of Sunny Point. Miss Mulholland also borrowed over $7,500 between 1917 and 1935 which, according to Edelmira Rivero, was used to pay property taxes. Miss Rivero notes that Miss Mulholland "sacrificed so much to hold what she could," and did her best to keep the place beautiful. She had stone posts erected at each entrance way, in which the words "Mulholland Park" were cut. The land was beautifully landscaped and along the river were weeping willows and oleanders.</p><br>
<p>Mary Mulholland did not nurse professionally after the death of Mrs. White, probably because she was in her sixties by that time. Miss Rivero recalled that Miss Mulholland would go "quietly among the poor and used her knowledge and skill to help them; she never refused a call from them." After the outbreak of World War I, Miss Mulholland became active in the Putnam Country Red Cross Chapter, serving as Vice Chairman in 1917 when the chapter was first organized. She allowed the Red Cross to use the east wing of her home as a work room, and she herself made service calls to the homes of soldiers.</p><br>
<p>On October 4, 1935 Mary Mulholland died in Palatka and is buried in Oak Hill Cemetery, along with Judge Isaac Bronson and Charlotte White. Upon her death, Mary Mulholland&#39;s possession of Sunny Point passed on to Edelmira Rivero, stating she "...lived with me in my home in Palatka, from the time that she was a little girl until she was a young lady, and has been a great help and assistance to me and has done me many acts of kindness."</p><br>
<h4>Edelmira Rivero and Sunny Point</h4><br>
<p>Edelmira Rivero was born in Cuba during the Spanish–American War. Her parents died by the time she was three or four, leaving her and her sister Taurina (about five years older) orphaned. Eventually, they found their way into a Florida orphanage after a pair of visiting Episcopalian nuns found them living without parents. They remained at the orphanage until Edelmira was ten or eleven, and Taurina was fifteen. Taurina described her sister as a beautiful young girl with auburn hair, and says she was often taken around to various locations and used as an example of the types of wards the orphanage cared for. However, Taurina described the living conditions at the orphanage as unpleasant, and they eventually ran away. It is not told how they came to Palatka, but shortly thereafter, Mary Mulholland employed Taurina as a housekeeper. Apparently Miss Mulholland had a reasonably good but fiery relationship with Taurina. She also became very fond of Edelmira and wished to adopt her, but Taurina would not allow it.</p><br>
<p>When Taurina married at 18 in 1907, she told her younger sister that she could either come live with her or stay with Miss Mulholland. Miss Mulholland promised Taurina that Edelmira would be well cared for and given a college education if she was allowed to stay. We know now that Edelmira elected to stay and Miss Mulholland was true to her word. Throughout her life, Taurina often visited the two at Sunny Point.</p><br>
<p>When Miss Mulholland died in 1935, Miss Rivero had become a teacher in Jacksonville, Florida. Unable to live in Palatka, she had the shutters of Sunny Point bolted, and eventually moved the furniture – much of which was in the house when the Whites had lived there – to Jacksonville. At the same time, she gave permission to the Red Cross Chapter to continue meeting in the house. The chapter met in the west wing and continued their service activities through World War II.</p><br>
<p>Edelmira Rivero owned the house for ten years. Like Miss Mulholland, she found it necessary to sell land once part of Sunny Point as residential lots. In 1945 Edelmira felt that she could no longer keep Sunny Point. Later in her life, she wrote the following:</p><br>
<p>The lot which Edelmira Rivero sold in 1945 has the same boundaries as the lot we see today. She continued to live and teach in Jacksonville until her death in 1974. She was buried next to Mary Mulholland in Oak Hill Cemetery – along with other former residents of Sunny Point.</p><br>
<h3>Postwar era: 1945–1977</h3><br>
<p>In 1945, Sunny Point (now called Mulholland Park) was briefly owned by the Reverend and Mrs. J.C. Yelton. They sold the house in 1946 to Laura and E.C. Hindman, who took out three different mortgages on the property – in 1946, 1948, and 1951. It is probable that the Hindmans divided the house into apartments and walled in the east porches immediately after they purchased it. An article in the Palatka Daily News in November 1946 noted that "Mr. and Mrs. B.M. Jones have moved to the Hindman Apartments in Mulholland Park." In 1955, the Hindmans sold the house to Grace and James Jones, their daughter and son-in-law. The city directory of 1956 listed nine apartments at the same address as the house. In May 1956 it was sold yet again to a Key David McMurrain, who promised to keep the property in repair and insured against fire. In 1962, the house was transferred to McMurrain&#39;s ward William. The 1960 and 1964 directories refer to the house as the Mulholland Apartments. Finally, in January 1965, William McMurrain sold the property to the City of Palatka, which brought the apartment period to an end. It was then that interest began in restoring the house to its original splendor, as by that time the house had fallen into severe disrepair. Added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972, the Bronson–Mulholland house was open to visitors in 1977.</p><br>
<h3>Restoration era: 1977–present</h3><br>
<p>Many efforts have been made over the years to appropriately restore the Bronson–Mulholland house to its original splendor. While the City of Palatka owns the structure and the surrounding land, the Putnam County Historical Society in partnership maintains all of the interior furnishings. Due to the nature of the history of the house, very little of its original furnishings remain. Most of the pieces are antiques from the mid to late 1800s – and many are generous donations or loans from local families. There are, however, some pieces on loan from the family of Edelmira Rivero that are original to the home, and are from when the Whites occupied it.</p><br>
<p>Today, the house serves as both a historical resource and an event venue. Every year at the end of September, Civil War re-enactors gather on the green in front of the house to recreate the Union Occupation of Palatka in 1864. Recent efforts have been made to restore the home to its status as a major wedding venue in Northeast Florida.</p><br>
<h2>Future plans</h2><br>
<p>The City of Palatka hopes to revitalize interest in the house by marketing it once again as a wedding and event venue, as well as a vital cultural and historical resource for Floridians. A monthly newsletter as well as a Facebook page have recently been launched, and an interactive website is planned to launch by winter 2013. Many other events are planned for 2014 to help celebrate the house&#39;s 160th anniversary.</p><br>
<p>Gutman&#39;s Cave  is the widest and highest cave in the Baltic countries, located on the Gauja River in the National Park of Sigulda, Latvia. It started forming more than 10 000 years ago when meltwater eroded the sandstone rock after the Ice Age. It is the oldest tourist attraction in Latvia. On the walls of the cave are inscriptions from the 17th century. The legend of the Rose of Turaida began in this cave.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Gutman&#39;s Cave is the widest and highest cave in the Baltics. It is 18.8 meters deep, 12 meters wide and 10 meters high. The cave was formed from the yellow-brown sandstone rock of the Gauja river bank; its formation is due to a millennium long interaction between the river and an underground spring.</p><br>
<p>The cave is considered the oldest tourist attraction in Latvia because visitors, from even the earliest days, have left “decorations” such as names, initials and the dates of their visits engraved on the walls of the cave. Inside the cave are coats-of-arms and the names of various barons and estate owners. These were made to order for a fee by local craftsmen who would wait for wealthy visitors near the cave armed with tools, stepladders and templates. Writing on the cave walls is no longer permitted as the site is a protected archeological and geological monument.</p><br>
<p>According to local folk legend, the waters of the spring flowing out of the cave are the tears of the wife of the Liv chief, Rindaugs. The story tells that the chief buried his unfaithful wife in the sandy bank of the Gauja river. The poor woman, distraught by her guilty conscience, cried so hard that her tears flowed out of the large cave. To this day, the spring’s waters are said to have healing properties. Another tale explains how the cave got its name: a long time ago there was a good man who lived in the cave and used the spring water to heal people. Gut mann in German means "good man".</p><br>
<p>Gutman&#39;s Cave is a place of ancient worship. Until the 19th century, people would come to make their offerings to the deities. The place is also renowned for a number of enduring legends.</p><br>
<h2>Story of Rose of Turaida</h2><br>
<p>The legend states that in the spring of 1601 during the Polish–Swedish wars, the Swedish army occupied Turaida Castle. After the battle the record keeper of the castle, named Greif, found a little girl just a few weeks old among the dead bodies. He took her in and raised her as his daughter. It happened to be the month of May so he named her Maija/May. As the years went by the little girl grew to be a beautiful young maiden and because of her beauty she was called the Rose of Turaida. Her fiancé, Victor Hail, was a gardener at Sigulda Castle on the opposite side of the Gauja river and in the evenings they would meet at Gutman&#39;s Cave.</p><br>
<p>A Polish deserter, Jakubovsky, lusted after Maija and wanted her to marry him, but the girl turned down his proposal. This angered Jakubovksy and he decided to take her by force. He sent his fellow deserter Skudritis to her with a fake message from Victor telling her to come to the usual meeting place but at a different time. When the girl arrived and realized that she was trapped, she chose to die instead of be shamed. At that time people believed in the power of magic. Maija had a red silk scarf around her neck, a gift from Victor. She offered this scarf, which, she said, bore magic powers and was impossible to cut through, in exchange for letting her go. She encouraged Jacubovky to test the powers of the scarf and use his sword to see if she was telling the truth. Initially Jakubovsky hesitated, but then cut with full force only to see the girl collapse. Jakubovky, fearing punishment for his deed, ran off to the woods and hanged himself. Later that night Victor found his love murdered in the cave and ran to Turaida for help. In the rush he lost his axe at the scene and was eventually accused of murder and sentenced to death. However, the course of events was changed by Skudritis who had followed Jakubovsky and had seen what happened. He told the court what he witnessed and Victor was acquitted. The girl was buried in the cemetery by Turaida church where you may visit her final resting place. For a very long time this story was thought to be a sad legend, but in the middle of the 19th century the court archives in Vidzeme revealed the transcript of the murder case of Maija in the Gutman&#39;s Cave dated August 1620. This ancient legend has led many artists to create works in praise of the devotion of The Rose of Turaida and the power of love.</p><br>
<p>Right next to Gutmans Cave is the smaller Victors Cave. The story goes that Victor Hail hacked out this cave for his fiancée, the Rose of Turaida, so she could watch him at work in the gardens of Sigulda Castle.</p><br>
<p>The story of Maija and Victor is similar to that of Romeo and Juliet, and for this reason Sigulda is sometimes known as the "City of Love".</p><br>

<p>The Étang de Berre  is a lagoon on the Mediterranean coast of France, about 25 km north-west of Marseille.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Created by the rise in water levels at the end of the last ice age, this small inland sea is composed of three parts: the principal body of water, the Étang de Vaïn to the east and the Étang de Bolmon to the south-east.</p><br>
<p>The Étang de Berre is fed with fresh water by the rivers Arc, Touloubre and La Cadière-dAzur and &ndash; since 1966 &ndash; by the Canal de la Durance. Two canals link it to the sea: the Canal de Caronte leading towards Port-de-Bouc and the Canal du Rove which leads towards LEstaque. However the underground portion of the latter is blocked by a rock fall.</p><br>
<p>The Marseille Provence Airport is located in the southeast portion of the Étang Barre, with its main runway extending into the water on reclaimed land.</p><br>
<h2>Administration</h2><br>
<p>Ten communes border the Étang de Berre: Istres, Miramas, Saint-Chamas, Berre-l&#39;Étang, Rognac, Vitrolles, Marignane, Châteauneuf-les-Martigues, Martigues and Saint-Mitre-les-Remparts.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The ancient name of the Étang de Berre was Stagnum Mastromela, according to Pliny the Elder (Book III ).</p><br>

<p>The Scribner House is a historic home located at New Albany, Floyd County, Indiana. It was built by Joel Scribner, one of the three brothers who founded New Albany. He and his brothers, Nathaniel and Abner, came from New York State and named their new town "New Albany" after the capital of their home state. It is located in downtown New Albany, on the southeast corner of State and Main Streets near the Sherman Minton Bridge. It is the oldest building in New Albany.</p><br>
<p>Joel built the house in 1813-1814 using the ash, oak, and poplar trees that were cut down when clearing the property. It is designed in a New England Federal style. In total, it is 2 stories. The first floor features two parlors and a hall. The second floor has 3 bedrooms. Both these floors have a rear porch that allowed a view of the Ohio River. The ground floor is the large kitchen with a wide fireplace used for cooking.</p><br>
<p>The house passed through the family until the final owner, Harriet Scribner, who was a DAR member, sold it to the Piankeshaw Chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution, who made sure to keep it as Harriet left it when she died later that year.

<p>Hamilton City, or Miners Delight as it was commonly known, was a town in Fremont County, Wyoming, United States, on the southeastern tip of the Wind River Range, that prospered during the mining boom in the American West in the second half of the 19th century. It was a "sister city" of Atlantic City and South Pass City. Today a few buildings still stand as a reminder of an era in Wyomings past history.</p><br>
<p>Miners Delight went through several boom-bust periods, like many western mining towns did, with corresponding rises and falls in its population. Gold was discovered there in 1868, and by 1870, at the height of the mines operations, the population in Hamilton City was 75, forty of which were miners. The original boom of mining activity "busted", however, from 1872 to 1874, but by the 1880s a new era of economic prosperity had dawned. Smaller booms occurred in 1907 and in 1910, and then again during the Great Depression. The town was inhabited as late as 1960. In 2015, there were no residents in the town.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Boom or bust, 1868-1910</h3><br>
<p>Miners Delight, founded by Jonathan Pugh, was among the state of Wyomings first communities. Calamity Jane spent time there as a young girl. With the discovery of gold nearby in 1868, there came an era of mining, and the establishment of the town of Hamilton City. The Miner&#39;s Delight mine was located about a quarter mile west of the town. Boom and bust periods followed, and in March 1882, the mine was completely shut down and not used again until after the turn of the 20th century. The two brief boom periods in 1907 and in 1910, were in relation to mining operations.</p><br>
<h3>The "brass lock service mystery" of 1893</h3><br>
<p>A famous incident involving Miners Delight occurred there in March 1893, which was widely covered in the press at the time in Cheyenne and throughout Wyoming, and came to be known as "the brass lock service mystery". Miners Delight postmaster, James "Jimmy" Kime had attempted to ship eight registered letters via the Rawlins and Northwesterns lines Lander-to-Rawlins stagecoach to the Postmaster in Rawlins using the "brass lock service". The Post Offices so-called "brass lock service" utilized canvas pouches, which were locked with brass locks, with the only persons having a key being the Postmasters along the stage line. When Kimes pouch reached its destination in Rawlins some 120 miles to the southeast, however, the postmaster there discovered that someone had cut the pouch and stolen all the registered letters.</p><br>
<p>For many months, USA Postal inspectors investigated the matter, and a number of other related thefts of various valuables on the line from the locked pouches, before finally arresting Postmaster John Gatlin of the Myersville Station near today&#39;s Jeffrey City, Wyoming, along with his wife Stella. The trials of the couple in Laramie City went on into the Fall of 1893, when charges against John Gatlin were finally dropped, after Stella Gatlin confessed to stealing the items, due to what she claimed to be her illness of kleptomania. Her affidavit stated that she had struggled for years to overcome the mania, while keeping it a secret from her husband. On November 25, 1893, the jury found Mrs. Gatlin guilty. Two days later, she was taken to the Laramie Prison, where she was registered as Prisoner #150, the first woman to be imprisoned there after being convicted of a federal crime in Wyoming. She was released early in December 1894, based on her "good conduct", and following her departure, prison officials added a special new wing exclusively for women, with individual cells and a toilet.</p><br>
<h3>The Ghost Town of Miner's Delight today</h3><br>
<p>Today, through historic preservation by the Bureau of Land Management and various university programs and courses, the ghost town at Miner&#39;s Delight stands as a testament to the passage of time, and provides historians with a peek at early Wyoming life and the gold mining culture. On the townsite are seventeen structures, including: seven cabins, one saloon, one meat house, one shop or barn, one shaft house, one pantry, one cellar, three privies, and a corral. All of the buildings are constructed of logs or unfinished lumber.</p><br>
<p>Miner&#39;s Delight was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 4, 1980.</p><br>
<h3>History of the town's name</h3><br>
<p>The towns nomenclature, and how it ended up being called "Miners Delight" instead of "Hamilton City", is a topic of historical debate. There are generally two stories associated with the changing of the towns name. Both stories involve the discovery of a golden lode, a miners delight, on the ridge above town.</p><br>
<p>The first story holds that in 1869, a man named William Jones, while chasing his cows about a pasture, stumbled across some quartz with gold flecks dotting it. The site was so remote and so far above town, that he erroneously assumed no one else would ever find it. Contented, he continued on his way, gathering his stray cattle. When he returned later to the site of the gold lode, however, he found others working the claim. He tried to relate his tale of the discovery to the other miners, but they would have none of it, and ran him off.</p><br>
<p>The other story does not have quite the same Old West flair as the tale of Jones&#39; would-be discovery. A man named Johnathan Pugh, who incidentally is listed as one of the original founders of the lode, claimed to have discovered the gold. He even described the quartz ridge above town, down to the gold nuggets embedded in it.</p><br>
<h2>Highways</h2><br>
<p>The road west out of Miner&#39;s Delight intersects with four miles west of town; Wyo. 28 intersects with thirty miles north of that intersection.</p><br>
<p>Mountain Island Lake is a lake northwest of Charlotte, North Carolina created in 1924 to coincide with the building of Mountain Island Hydroelectric Station. It is named after the mountain which appears as an island in the lake, and the surrounding area is identified by the lakes name. The shape of the lake follows the meander of the Catawba rivers course, dammed near the Mount Holly Wastewater Plant. Full pond elevation is approximately 647.5 ft. The lake has around 3,281 acre of surface area and 61 mi of shoreline.</p><br>
<h2>River, water, and lake access</h2><br>
<p>Mountain Island Lake is fed by the Catawba River, and is the smallest of the three man-made lakes that border Mecklenburg County, North Carolina (Lake Norman, and Lake Wylie). Mountain Island Lake is managed by Charlotte-based company Duke Energy. The primary function of Mountain Island Lake is to provide drinking water for over 1 million residents of Charlotte and surrounding Mecklenburg County, as well as Mount Holly and Gastonia in Gaston County. The lake is also accessible to the public for boating and fishing use. There are two boating access areas on the lake and a tailrace fishing platform for bank fishing in cooperation with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission. There are many stories of the lake having monsters. Some myths say the fish could capsize a whole boat.</p><br>
<h2>Power generation</h2><br>
<p>The lake generates hydro-electric power for the nearby region. It also supported the Riverbend Steam Station by cooling the steam that drove the turbines prior to its decommissioning in 2013.</p><br>
<h3>Mountain Island Hydro Station</h3><br>
<p>Mountain Island Hydro Station is a four-unit generating facility with a capacity of 60 megawatts located in Gaston County, North Carolina. It was built in 1923 to meet the growing demand for electricity by homeowners in the Carolinas. At the time, electricity was largely used by industrial customers.</p><br>
<h3>Riverbend Steam Station</h3><br>
<p>Riverbend Steam Station is a 454 megawatt, coal-fired generating facility located in Gaston County, North Carolina. It was first built in 1929. The four-unit station is named for a bend in the Catawba River on which it is located. Riverbend is considered a cycling station and is brought on line to supplement supply when electricity demand is highest. Four gas-fired combustion turbine units are also housed on the site. The four gas-fired turbines were retired in October 2012.</p><br>
<h2>Water pollution</h2><br>
<p>The North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources is planning a consent order for Duke Energy plants on the lake which have left local groundwater contaminated with high levels of heavy metals such as arsenic and cobalt. The discharge has come from a lack of lining in older coal ash ponds containing namesake waste which threatens the water quality of Mountain Island Lake&#39;s ecosystem and has as of August 2013 warranted over $99,000 worth of fines.</p><br>
<h2>Attractions</h2><br>
<p>Inside of Mountain Island Lake is a large island called Mountain Island, a big landmark. Other area attractions include the historic Rural Hill Farm, Historic Latta Plantation, and the Carolina Raptor Center.</p><br>
<h3>Carolina Raptor Center</h3><br>
<p>The Carolina Raptor Center is dedicated to environmental stewardship and the conservation of birds of prey, through education, research, and the rehabilitation of injured and orphan raptors. Over 23 different species of raptors are on a 3/4 mile long nature trail inside Latta Plantation Nature Preserve, on the banks of Mountain Island Lake.</p><br>
<h3>Historic Latta Plantation</h3><br>
<p>The Plantation was built in 1800 and called Latta Place after its owner James Latta, an immigrant from Northern Ireland. Latta was a successful traveling merchant through 1820. He then retired and turned his property into a cotton plantation consisting of 742 acres and 34 enslaved people. After Mr. Latta&#39;s death in 1837, his wife Jane sold the property to David Harry. In 1853, William Sample purchased the property; it was owned by the Sample family until 1922. Crescent Land and Timber, a subsidiary of Duke Power, then purchased the property because of its proximity to the Catawba River and the construction of the dam. It is now a museum.</p><br>
<p>The Robert Roe Blacker House, often referred to as the Blacker House or Robert R. Blacker House, is a residence in Pasadena, California, which is now on the USA National Register of Historic Places. It was built in 1907 for Robert Roe Blacker and Nellie Canfield Blacker. It was designed by Henry and Charles Greene of the renowned Pasadena firm of Greene and Greene. This house was a lavish project for the Greene brothers, costing in excess of US$100,000.00 . Everything for the house was custom designed, down to the teak escutcheon plates of the upstairs mahogany panel doors to the linen closets with their ebony cloud adorned keys.</p><br>
<h2>Robert & Nellie Canfield Blacker</h2><br>
<p>Robert R. Blacker (1845–1931) was a retired Michigan lumberman. Nellie Canfield Blacker was the daughter of John Canfield, owner-operator of Canfield & Wheeler, a lumber mill based in Manistee, Michigan. Blacker was a member of several lumbering firms in Manistee, including R.R. Blacker & Company; Davies, Blacker & Company and the State Lumber Company. Among other interests, he was also president of the Michigan Steamship Company, original owners of the ill-fated SS Eastland.</p><br>
<p>Robert Blacker preceded his wife in death in 1931. Upon Nellie&#39;s death in 1946, the property went into probate as the Blackers did not identify any heirs. In her Last Will and Testament, Nellie specified the house, land, and its furnishings were to be sold as a whole and not parceled off.</p><br>
<p>Unfortunately, the representative of Nellie Blackers estate decided to maximize the value of the assets instead. As a result the seven acre (2.8 hectare) estate was sold sans its furnishings, then subdivided by the purchaser into smaller parcels, destroying the gardens in the process. The main residence ended up on just one acre (0.4 hectare). The garage became a separate residence, as did the caretakers cottage. The remainder of the gardens were subdivided into separate lots.</p><br>
<p>More notable, though, was the infamous "yard sale" conducted shortly after the sale in probate where the furnishing were sold off, in a yard sale fashion. Furniture built for the Blacker House is now in museums and in the hands of wealthy collectors and Hollywood luminaries. One family, the Andersons, lived down the street and were able to buy a large lot of furniture. In 1990, an Anderson family member offered the then-owners of the Blacker House the ability to purchase the breakfast room table for the remarkable sum of $390,000.00; the table was later sold at auction for approximately $70,000. On 19 June 2007, the following Greene and Greene items; living room chair, bedroom chair, and bedroom andirons were sold at Sothebys fetching prices, including Buyers premium and New York sales tax, of $913,600, $396,000, and $66,000 respectively.</p><br>
<h2>Partial dismantling</h2><br>
<p>The house was purchased by Mr. and Mrs. Max Hill in the 1950s. In 1985, recently widowed, Mrs. Hill sold the property to Barton English, a Princeton graduate and rancher from Texas, and Michael Carey, a prominent dealer of Arts and Crafts era antiques from New york City. Shortly after close of escrow, Mr. English hired a well known local antique dealer to remove more than forty-eight original lighting fixtures for him. Later he also removed some of the leaded art glass doors, windows, and transom panels; only after commissioning a well known local studio to produce exact reproductions of the doors and windows that were to be removed. Many of the original pieces were sold on the art market. This incident has been referred to as the "Rape of the Blacker House".</p><br>
<p>National media attention to this sequence of events was facilitated through the efforts of Pasadena Heritage executive director Claire Bogaard. Articles appeared in the Los Angeles Times, Washington Post and New York Times. Pasadena enacted an emergency ordinance, known as the Blacker Ordinance, which attempted to limit the ability of people owning homes designed by Greene and Greene to dismantle or otherwise destroy artifacts therein. Although not a direct prohibition, the ordinance delayed for up to one year any changes or alterations, subject to review of a committee of the Planning Commission. Conservation-minded citizens guarded the Blacker house day and night to keep further fixtures from being removed.</p><br>
<p>Several of the chandeliers sold for approximately $250,000 and many of the lamps fetched $100,000 each. As Mr. English paid only $1 million for the home, he quickly recouped his investment on the sale of the fixtures. He sold the home in 1988, for 1.2 million, having never lived in it.</p><br>
<h2>Restoration</h2><br>
<p>When the home was offered for sale in 1994 it was purchased by Harvey and Ellen Knell. At the time the couple were in escrow on another Greene and Greene house, however, they backed out of that purchase in order to obtain the Blacker house.</p><br>
<p>The Knells worked with Randall Makinson, a restoration architect with a specialty in Greene and Greene, and James Ipekjian, a master craftsman, along with an entire team of like minded mastercraftsmen that were specialists in their fields. The building was restored inside and out. Ipekjian was responsible for re-creating the wood work of the lamps and other fixtures; he even traveled to see one of the original pieces in order to make a correct copy. The house was entirely re-wired and re-plumbed, the structure upgraded to withstand earthquakes, and discreet ventilation ducts were installed. Every shingle was removed and either restored or replaced, all timbers were stripped and refinished, and nearly all the tail rafters cantilevering beyond the roof line needed to be replaced. After four years of restoration, a benefit dinner hosted by actor Brad Pitt celebrated the completion of the project.</p><br>
<h2>In popular culture</h2><br>
<p>In the movie Back to the Future, interior shots of Dr. Browns house were taken inside the Blacker House; the exterior shots were of the Blacker Houses "smaller brother", the Gamble House.</p><br>
<p>Khlong Phasi Charoen  is a canal in western part of central Thailand. The canal links the Tha Chin river to Khlong Bangkok Yai. It starts at Khlong Bangkok Yai nearby Wat Paknam Bhasicharoen, Bangkok and ends southward of Wat Ang Thong, Tambon Don Kai Di, Krathum Baen District, Samut Sakhon Province. It is approximately 30 km long.</p><br>
<p>The canal project was initiated by Phra Phasi Sombat Boriboon (พระภาษีสมบัติบริบูรณ์), who later became Phraya Phison Sombat Boriboon (พระยาพิสณฑ์สมบัติบริบูรณ์). Originally Phasi Charoen proposed to fund the project in exchange for the right to collect toll for the passage. It was approved by King Mongkut (Rama IV), however, with the fund given via tax deduction from the amount Phra Phasi Sombat Boriboon had to collect, thus making the canal toll-free. The construction began in 1866 and completed in 1872 and the canal was named after the man who had overseen the project.</p><br>

<p>Longlands Fell is a small fell in the northern part of the English Lake District. It is situated in the high ground known as the Uldale Fells, 5.5 kilometres south west of the village of Caldbeck. It reaches a height of 483 m  and it is  the most northerly fell in the Lake District.</p><br>
<h2>Topography</h2><br>
<p>Longlands Fell is characterised by grassy, smooth slopes which drop down gradually to the lowlands north of Lakeland making the ascent of the fell quite easy from that direction. The other Uldale Fells are Great Sca Fell, Great Cockup and Meal Fell and together are really just one big sheep pasture which does not draw large numbers of fell walkers or visitors, making this probably the quietest part of the national park, the border of which is only two kilometres to the north.</p><br>
<h2>Mining</h2><br>
<p>Unlike the adjacent Caldbeck Fells, which were heavily mined for minerals, the Uldale Fells have only ever had one mine on them and that was on Longlands Fell. The Longlands Fell copper mine operated in the second half of the 19th century but was soon found to be uneconomical and abandoned, one of the levels is now dammed to provide water to the village of Uldale. Just to the north of Longlands Fell on the adjoining small Aughtertree Fell (300 metres) are signs of an Iron Age farming settlement first settled 3,000 years ago and probably deserted during the Dark Ages.</p><br>
<h2>Ascents</h2><br>
<p>Longlands Fell is one the easier fell walks in the Lake District, the ascent starts from the hamlet of Longlands, which is a small group of houses and takes the track north east which skirts the base of the fell, this is part of the low level alternative of the Cumbria Way, when the foot of the northern ridge is reached this is followed up easy slopes to reach the summit. Longlands Fell is often climbed in conjunction with other fells, being connected to the south east by a 2.5 kilometre ridge to Great Sca Fell which in turn gives access along its ridges to the rest of the fells in the area.</p><br>
<h2>Summit</h2><br>
<p>The view from the top takes in the Solway Firth and the Galloway hills to the north. To the south are good views of Skiddaw with the fells around the Whinlatter forest well seen.</p><br>
<p>The Pine Ridge Hospital  is a historic hospital in West Palm Beach, Florida that served as a hospital during 1923 to 1956. It is located at 1401 Division Avenue.</p><br>
<p>The hospital was designed by West Palm Beach architects Harvey & Clarke and is not special architecturally.</p><br>
<p>The hospital building was deemed historically significant at a local level for its role as the sole hospital serving African-Americans in West Palm Beach in the period up to the ending of segregation in the 1960s. It "was a well-known institution among blacks throughout the South" during the 1920s and 1930s.</p><br>
<p>On January 26, 2001, it was added to the USA National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>It is included in the Northwest Historic District.</p><br>
<p>The Pensacola Hospital  is a historic hospital in Pensacola, Florida, United States. It is located at 1010 North 12th Avenue. On February 16, 1982, it was added to the United States National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Aaron Ritz, a son of one of the owners, gave permission to use his words to further describe the building:</p><br>
<p>Pensacola Hospital, now known as the historic Sacred Heart Hospital, opened in September 1915 as the first and oldest Catholic hospital in Florida. The Daughters of Charity, a religious order dating back to 1633 also dedicated to care for the poor and the sick, invested over $400,000.00 into building and opening this facility. The Daughters community was started originally in France by St. Vincent de Paul and St. Louise de Marillac.</p><br>
<p>Evans Brothers Construction, of Birmingham, Alabama, took one year to build this late Gothic Revival building for the Daughters to provide the residents of Pensacola with better health care.</p><br>
<p>This structure is both a medical and architectural landmark. Before this hospital, Pensacola had only a scattering of local clinics in converted houses. Doctors would send patients with serious cases as far away as New Orleans for complicated procedures not available in Pensacola. With this facility, Pensacola had the first surgical, radiological, bacterial, and therapeutical facilities in Florida. Following the Daughters of Charity motto of "service to all", the third level of the east wing was dedicated entirely to the Creole and Colored population so that they could also receive hospital care. A.O. Von Herbulis, a native of Austria who immigrated to the United States, designed the hospital. Using the vocabulary of English Gothic architecture, with elements such as the Tudor arches on the ends, the stone work around the front entrance, and the embattlement at the parapet, Von Herbulis created a lasting monument to health care.</p><br>
<p>In 1948, following the original desire of Mother Margaret OKeefe, Pensacola Hospitals name changed to Sacred Heart Hospital of Pensacola. In 1965,50 years in its original stone structure on 12th Avenue, the hospital relocated in 1965 to a new hospital off to Ninth Avenue to continue its operations. Since then, Sacred Heart has continued to advance its technology and expand its services. After the hospital left, a private school for Liberal Arts used the building from 1969 through 1978, but lack of maintenance forced the school to abandon the building. In 1980, Tower East Group Inc. purchased the property to preserve the historic hospital for the future.</p><br>
<p>In 2000, Sacred Heart completed a trio of major expansion projects that added new wings for a Regional Heart and Vascular Institute, a new center for emergency/trauma services, surgical suites, and a new Nemours Children&#39;s Clinic. In 2001, Sacred Heart put the finishing touches on those expansions by adding new waiting rooms, renovating interior corridors, and critical care units. In addition, Sacred Heart and Methodist Homes also teamed up to open the new Haven of Our Lady of Peace nursing home off Summit Boulevard in November 2001.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The public areas are open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, for touring. The building has several restaurants and a local theater company, as well as many private offices.</p><br>
<p>Tower East Group Inc., a private enterprise, has been restoring and renovating this Late Gothic Revival landmark since March 1980. National Park Guidelines for historic preservation are followed voluntarily; however, no Federal or State funding has ever been received. Structurally, the building has received very few alterations in its history. The exterior stonework retains its Gothic appearance to this day and other original architectural details, such as the elaborate oak entrance doors, remain.</p><br>
<p>The Old DeLand Memorial Hospital is a historic hospital in DeLand, Florida, United States. It is located at 240 North Stone Street. On November 27, 1989; it was added to the USA National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>It was built between 1920 and 1926. On November 27, 1989; it was added to the USA National Register of Historic Places. It currently contains a local history museum known as the DeLand Memorial Hospital & Military Museum, with exhibits including a 1920s operating room & apothecary exhibit, a gallery of military memorabilia, and tools, equipment and appliances from the early days of the area&#39;s ice and electric business. An adjacent building features the Elephant Fantasyland, which is a personal collection of elephant-themed collectibles, a toy collection, and the West Volusia Black Heritage Gallery.</p><br>
<p>The Jarrell Plantation State Historic Site is a cotton plantation and state park in Juliette, Georgia, United States. Located in the red clay hills of the Georgia piedmont, the site stands as one of the best-preserved examples of a "middle class" Southern plantation. The Jarrell Plantation&#39;s buildings and artifacts all came from one source, the Jarrell family, who farmed the land for over 140 years. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. It is a Georgia state park in Jones County.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Before the Civil War, the Jarrells farm was one of the half-million cotton farms in the South that collectively produced two-thirds of the worlds cotton. Like many small planters, the Jarrell family benefited from the development of the cotton gin in 1793 by Eli Whitney, which made it practical to cultivate heavily seeded, short-staple cotton even in hilly, inland areas of Georgia.</p><br>
<p>John Fitz Jarrell built the first permanent structure on the site in 1847. Typical of antebellum cotton plantations, John Jarrell ran the farm with his family and slave labor. By 1860 John Jarrell operated the 660 acre farm with the labor of 39 slaves. Although primarily a cotton plantation, the farm also provided food crops and grazing for livestock. During the turbulent decade of the 1860s, the farm survived a typhoid fever outbreak, General Sherman, emancipation, and Reconstruction. After the Civil War, John Jarrell continued to farm with the help of former slaves and he increased the farm to nearly 1,000 acre. The former-slave laborers began leaving the farm in John Jarrell&#39;s final years.</p><br>
<p>After Johns death in 1884 one of Johns sons, Benjamin Richard "Dick" Jarrell, gave up a teaching career to return home and build his family home in 1895. Although the farm had been processing sugarcane since 1864, Dick Jarrell expanded the industrialization of the farm by adding a mill complex that eventually included a steam-driven sawmill, cotton gin, gristmill, shingle mill, and planer. In 1920, with the labor of his five sons and two nephews, Dick Jarrell completed a second home, fit for his large family. The Jarrell 1920 House is a 5,000 ft&sup2, 1850&#39;s-style home built of heart pine.</p><br>
<p>In 1974, Dick Jarrells nine surviving adult children donated the plantation site to the State of Georgia for the preservation of the farm and the education of future generations about their heritage. The State of Georgias Department of Natural Resources operates the now 200 acre historic site and opens it to the public Thursday through Saturday. The site&#39;s buildings and structures include the farmhouse, a sawmill, cotton gin, gristmill, shingle mill, planer, sugar cane press, syrup evaporator, workshop, barn and outbuildings.</p><br>

<p>Mekedatu  is a location along Kaveri in Kanakapura Taluk. Sangama is the place where Arkavati merges with Kaveri. From this point, about 3.5 kilometers downstream, the river Kaveri flows through a deep and narrow gorge. Mekedatu means goats leap in Kannada). The name comes from an incident which is believed to have been witnessed by herdsmen in that area a long time ago. It is said that a goat being chased by a tiger made a desperate attempt to save its life by leaping from one side of the gorge and managed to cross over the raging river below, whereas the tiger did not attempt to replicate this feat, and abandoned the chase. The point where the goat leapt has widened since then from erosion caused by the river Cauvery. It is about 110 km from Bengaluru via Kanakapura.</p><br>
<p>There is also some mythological significance to this place (both Sangama and Mekedatu). As per one version, the goat (meke) that is believed to have leapt across the Kaveri was Lord Shiva in disguise. On both rocky precipices of the gorge, one can find strange holes, whose shapes resemble goats hooves, though several times larger. It is believed that only divine goats could have marked their footprints&#39; in such hard rocks.</p><br>
<p>At Mekedaatu, the Kaveri runs through a deep, narrow ravine of hard granite rock.</p><br>
<p>The river, which is more than 150 meters wide at the confluence (at Sangama) flows through the hardly 10-meter-wide gorge at Mekedatu. One can see the ferocious flow of all that water, displaying Bernoullis theorem. It is said that a goat could leap over it, giving the falls the name Goats Leap. Upstream on the Kaveri is the well known Shivanasamudra Falls with its hydro-electric power station, which was set up already in 1902.</p><br>
<h2>Gorge</h2><br>
<p>The water flows very fast through the gorge, gouging pits in the rocky riverbed. The climb down is steep and the rocks slippery, making it very dangerous to swim in the river. Drownings continue to occur here, although people have been warned about the danger by a small board and writing on rocks.</p><br>
<h3>Death Trap</h3><br>
<p>A lot of tourists visit this place, a high number of people drown in the river, either when swimming or slipping off the cliff. It is a very dangerous place. The 4 feet shallow water is very deceiving as it seems harmless but has claimed the life of hundreds of people in the past years. The water current is very fast, and a person can drown in minutes. Just a small slip might be fatal. There are also crocodiles in the water. The place lacks warning signs in several places, but crocodiles and slippery surfaces make it one of the riskiest tourist spots. The rock surface near cliff, both during rainy season or during dry season, is very slippery and deceiving. Many of the deaths have been young people and students, who ventured near cliff drown here.</p><br>
<h2>Directions</h2><br>
<p>From Bangalore there are many tour operators who provide transport to Sangama.</p><br>
<p>From Kanakapura it is exactly 26 km. You have to drive more interior into the villages to reach this place. On the way there are boards showing directions to Mekedaatu and Sangama, both are the same, it is just that you have to reach Sangama to go Mekedaatu.</p><br>
<p>Once you reach Sangama you have to take a boat ride to reach the other side of the river. Then you can board a bus which keeps running every half an hour till 5 in the evening. 5.30 pm is the last bus from Mekedaatu to Sangama. After that no civilians are allowed in this place</p><br>
<p>You can also walk to Mekedaatu after getting off from the boat as it takes around 5 to 6 km to reach Mekedaatu from the Sangama if you don&#39;t want to board the bus.</p><br>
<p>On the way to Mekedaatu there is fishing camp called Galibore Fishing Camp</p><br>
<p>So if you have missed the Mekedaatu board you can reach by seeing this fishing camp board as well because this is also on the way</p><br>
<h2>Nearby</h2><br>
<p>This place is en route to Mekedatu. Only a few people visit this place as most of them go by bus. In case people go on foot from Sangama, this place wouldn&#39;t be that hard to spot. Here water is not that powerful when compared to the actual place, thus making it much safer.</p><br>
<p>The Paramount Theatre Building is a historic movie palace and theater at 145 North County Road and Sunrise Avenue, Palm Beach, Florida.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>It was designed in the Moorish Revival and Spanish Colonial Revival styles by Joseph Urban in 1926. Urban also designed the nearby Mar-a-Lago and the Palm Beach Bath and Tennis Club.</p><br>
<p>By contrast to the Ziegfeld Theatre (1927), which Urban designed to bathe the audience in warmth and a general atmosphere of colorful gaiety, the Paramount Theatre employs simple lines and a cool, leisured palette of silver and green. "The theatre," Urban explained, "is not an escape from the life around, but a part of it, fitting into the rhythm of the community. The architecture of the Paramount Theatre … is accordingly simple, spacious, Southern."</p><br>
<p>On December 12, 1973, it was added to the USA National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Church</h2><br>
<p>The Paramount Theatre Building now houses the Paramount Church, a non-denominational Christian church. The Senior Pastor and Founder of Paramount Church is Rev. Dwight Stevens.</p><br>
<p>Tuya Butte is a tuya in the Tuya Range of north-central British Columbia, Canada. It is a bit less isolated from other ranges than neighbouring Mount Josephine. Some of the other volcanoes in the area include South Tuya, Ash Mountain, and Mathews Tuya.</p><br>
<p>Tuya Butte was the first tuya analyzed in the geological literature, and its name has since become standard worldwide among volcanologists in referring to and writing about tuyas. The Tuya Mountains Provincial Park was recently established to protect this unusual landscape, which lies north of Tuya Lake and south of the Jennings River near the boundary with the Yukon Territory. Tuya Butte is regarded as among the best examples of this landform outside Iceland and Antarctica.</p><br>
<p>Tuya Butte was named by Canadian volcanologist Bill Mathews in association with adjacent Tuya Lake and Butte Lake. The term tuya may be derived from a Tahltan word.</p><br>
<h2>Geology</h2><br>
<p>Tuya Butte is part of the Tuya Volcanic Field, a volcanic field that includes tuyas, postglacial lapilli cones and lava flows and several small shield volcanoes formed during the Pleistocene and Holocene. This in turn is part of the Northern Cordilleran Volcanic Province from Prince Rupert, into the Yukon and the Alaska border caused by rifting of the North American Plate as the Pacific Plate slides northward along the Queen Charlotte Fault.</p><br>
<p>Tuya Butte formed when magma intruded into and melted a vertical pipe in the overlying Cordilleran Ice Sheet. The partially molten mass cooled as a large block, forming the highly developed hyaloclastite and pillow lava with gravity flattening its upper surface. Horizontal columns occur at numerous locations along the periphery of the mass. The absence of glacial erosion of the tuya suggests that it erupted during the Pleistocene. The volcano has no summit crater or obvious vent, suggesting the volcano was fed by a fissure, although several indictions suggest a vent location near a large cirque on the north face. Other subglacial volcanoes can be found in the Wells Gray-Clearwater volcanic field and the Garibaldi Volcanic Belt.</p><br>
<p>The Vero Theatre  is a historic theater in Vero Beach, Florida. Located at 2036 14th Avenue, the Vero Theatre was designed in the Mediterranean Revival style by architect F.H. Trimble. It opened on October 14, 1924 as the city&#39;s first motion picture theater with its first feature film being the Hunchback of Notre Dame. The theatre became the center of the fight to remove Indian River from St. Lucie County as a result of local blue laws prohibiting Sunday film viewing. Governor John W. Martin created Indian River County in the theatre in May 1925. On April 28, 1992, it was added to the USA National Register of Historic Places. The Theatre closed in 1985 when other multiplex theatres opened nearby. The last film shown was Desperately Seeking Susan.</p><br>
<p>The building is one of the few remaining structures of the original downtown. It is currently vacant, though there have been numerous attempts made to renovate the structure. The last attempt at renovation was done by developer Robert L. Brackett. His attempts were halted by the storms of the 2004 Atlantic hurricane season.</p><br>
<p>The Sunrise Theatre  is a historic theater in Fort Pierce, Florida. It is located at 117 South 2nd Street. Built in 1922 by builder C.E. Cahow, the Sunrise Theatre was designed in the Mediterranean Revival Style by architect John N. Sherwood. The theatre earned its reputation for becoming the cultural center of the city of Fort Pierce as well as being the greatest and biggest cultural institution in Florida at the time. Opening day was August 1, 1923. The theater closed in 1983 after it had fallen into disrepair. It later partially reopened in 1999 after a $750,000 grant was awarded to renovate and restore the structure to its former condition. On December 7, 2001, it was added to the USA National Register of Historic Places. After a complete renovation including adding additional support areas in 2005, the venue opened in January 2006. It now presents a wide variety of entertainment events from local groups to world-famous artists such as Willie Nelson, Bill Cosby, Itzhak Perlman, Diana Ross, 3 Dog Night, Lindsey Buckingham, Bryan Adams, Vince Gill, Tony Bennett, Ziggy Marley, the late Dave Brubeck plus Operas, Broadway Shows, Ballet, Rock and Jazz.</p><br>
<p>The Hot Creek Range is a volcanic mountain range in Nye County, in central Nevada in the western United States. From the historic community of Warm Springs, the range runs north-northeast for approximately 43 mi.</p><br>
<p>To the west are Stone Cabin Valley, Little Fish Lake Valley, and the large Monitor Range. To the east are Hot Creek Valley, Big Sand Springs Valley, and the Lunar Craters Volcanic Field. Further east lies the large Railroad Valley, and the Grant and Quinn Canyon Ranges. Highway 6 passes south of the range at 6293-foot (1918 m) Warm Springs Summit. To the north, the range almost merges with the smaller Antelope and Park Ranges.</p><br>
<p>The northern section of the Hot Creek Range has two distinct crests. The eastern crest rises to Morey Peak (10,246 feet, 3123 m), the highest point of the range. Nearby is the historic silver mining district of Morey. The western crest, across Sixmile Canyon, includes Mahogany Peak (9825 feet, 2995 m), Hot Creek Canyon, and the rugged Fandango Wilderness Study Area.</p><br>
<p>Arthur&#39;s Pike is a fell in the English Lake District, near Ullswater. It is a subsidiary top on the ridge falling north from Loadpot Hill in the Far Eastern Fells. An extensive craggy face stands above the lower reach of Ullswater.</p><br>
<h2>Topography</h2><br>
<p>The fell is separated from Loadpot Hill by a broad depression just south east of the summit, the ground here being quite marshy. The descending ridge turns north east at Arthur&#39;s Pike, passing over the knoll of White Knott as it falls between Aik Beck and the lake, heading for Pooley Bridge. Wainwright chose to define the fell between these narrow limits, assigning the wider slopes around Moor Divock to Loadpot Hill, and that convention is followed here.</p><br>
<p>To the west of Arthurs Pike the land falls steeply to Swarthbeck. This stream divides the fell from its twin, Bonscale Pike, before flowing to Ullswater. The north western face of Arthurs Pike has several tiers of crag, dropping to a belt of cultivated land and then the lakeside road to Howtown.</p><br>
<h2>Summit</h2><br>
<p>Arthur&#39;s Pike has a small summit set back from the crags on a grassy plateau. The remains of a beacon (columnar cairn) mark the brink of the face.</p><br>
<h2>Ascents</h2><br>
<p>There is no clear path to the summit, but a little to the south east the High Street Roman road runs past. The obvious direct ascent is from Swarthbeck on the Howtown road, outflanking the crags to the north and making for White Knott on a good path. The top can also be reached from the Roman road, either northwards from Loadpot Hill or southwards from Pooley Bridge or Helton.</p><br>
<p>Thomas and Walter Monteith House, also known as the Monteith House Museum was the first frame house built in Albany, Oregon, United States. It was built by Walter and Thomas Monteith in 1848–1850. All the houses original boards are hand-hewn due to lack of availability of steam-powered buzzsaws at that time. Originally the home served as a combination dwelling and store, but soon became the residence of Thomas and Christine  Monteith. Described architecturally as "Rural Vernacular / Pre-Classic Revival," the house was extensively remodeled in 1855 and 1880, moved 50 feet west in 1901, and in 1922 again remodeled, such that the structure little resembled the original construction. Beginning in 1982 the house has been a museum highlighting the Monteiths contributions to the area&#39;s community. "Living history" events are periodically given at the museum.</p><br>
<p>The Mark Twain Boyhood Home, now known as the Mark Twain Boyhood Home & Museum, is located on 206-208 Hill Street, Hannibal, Missouri, on the west bank of the Mississippi River in the United States. It was the home of Samuel Langhorne Clemens from 1844 to 1853. Clemens, better known as author Mark Twain, found the inspiration for many of his stories, including the white picket fence, while living here. It has been open to the public as a museum since 1912, and was designated a National Historic Landmark on December 29, 1962. It is located in the Mark Twain Historic District.</p><br>
<h2>Buildings</h2><br>
<p>The Boyhood Home is one of nine properties that comprise the present Mark Twain Boyhood Home & Museum complex. The legendary whitewashed fence of Tom Sawyer borders the property. There are seven additional museum buildings as part of the complex - the Interpretive Center, Becky Thatcher House, Huck Finn House, J.M Clemens Justice of the Peace Office, Grants Drug Store, the stone Works Progress Administration (WPA) building that houses a gift shop, and the Museum Gallery, located at 120 N. Main St. The museum has acquired the "Becky Thatcher" house (home of Clemens childhood sweetheart, Laura Hawkins). Its exterior has been renovated and restored; the interior is undergoing restoration. During the summer of 2006, the museum completed work on a replica of the "Huck Finn" house (home of Tom Blankenship, the boy upon whom Twain based the character of Huckleberry Finn). Exhibits in the Huck Finn House delve into Hannibals history with slavery. The museum also owns and maintains the Tom and Huck Statue at the foot of Cardiff Hill. Erected in 1926, it is one of the earliest known statues erected to honor fictional characters. Other highlights of the museum properties include the Boyhood Home garden area, bordered by a high stone wall built by the WPA. The close proximity of the Mississippi River, the Mark Twain Cave, and other settings found in Twains novel lure thousands of visitors to the museum each year.</p><br>
<h2>Collections</h2><br>
<p>The museums collection includes many first editions by Mark Twain, numerous personal items (including his Oxford gown), the only known surviving white suit coat, and a vast array of Twain memorabilia, such as the death mask of his baby son Langdon, and a jewelry box Twain had hand-carved in Italy to his specifications as a gift to his wife, Olivia. There are many interactive exhibits including a replica stagecoach and river raft. These serve to highlight specific books by Twain: The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, The Innocents Abroad, Roughing It, and A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthurs Court. Visitors can even sound a real steamboat whistle as they look out upon the Mississippi River. The museum also houses the second largest collection of original Norman Rockwell paintings. These paintings were commissioned as illustrations for a special edition of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. The museum also hosts regional art and touring exhibits.</p><br>
<h2>Events</h2><br>
<p>The museum sponsors many events throughout the year including children&#39;s events. Their educational outreach programs include teacher workshops, young author workshops, writers workshops, scholarly conferences, and a creative teaching award. On May 15, 2012 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the museum, a spokesperson announced the establishment of the "Mark Twain Lifetime Achievement Award" with Hal Holbrook named as the first recipient.</p><br>
<p>In 2011 the museum released Mark Twain: Words & Music, a double-CD benefit telling Twain&#39;s life in spoken word and song. The project was produced by Grammy award-winner Carl Jackson and released on Mailboat Records. It features Jimmy Buffett as Huckleberry Finn, Garrison Keillor as narrator, Clint Eastwood as Mark Twain, and Angela Lovell as Susy Clemens. Singers include Emmylou Harris, Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver, Rhonda Vincent, Bradley Walker, Carl Jackson, The Church Sisters, Sheryl Crow, Brad Paisley, Marty Raybon, Val Storey, Vince Gill, Joe Diffie, and Ricky Skaggs. Cindy Lovell wrote the narrative, and several new songs were written for the project.</p><br>
<p>In the summer, the museum is the destination of thousands of visitors. The town of Hannibal celebrate National Tom Sawyer Days over the 4th of July each year complete with whitewashing and frog jumping contests. The boyhood home is a focal point in these events.</p><br>
<p>Lake Alice is a small lake on the University of Florida campus in Gainesville, Florida, United States.</p><br>
<p>The lake is a wildlife area and is one of the few areas in incorporated Gainesville where one may view live alligators. The lake also harbors a population of Florida softshell turtles. The universitys bat house is near the lake. The Baughman Center sits on the southwest bank of the lake. On Lake Alices northern side, there is a boardwalk that leads visitors through the woods and swamp to a viewing platform.</p><br>
<p>The people of the Alachua culture who built a burial mound near the College of Law on University of Florida’s campus (the "Law School Mound") c 1000 AD are believed to have lived along the shore of Lake Alice.</p><br>
<p>How Lake Alice obtained its name is uncertain. Prior to the 1890s, Lake Alice was known as "Jonahs Pond" but by 1894, US Geological Surveys noted it as Lake Alice. A Masters thesis written in 1953 makes the unreferenced claim that it was named for the only daughter of a Mr. Witt, who owned a farm of which the lake was a part.</p><br>
<p>In the late 1960s, the University of Florida administration and the Florida Department of Transportation planned to drain portions of the lake and construct a cross-campus throughway and 2,000-car parking lot along its shore. Environmental activist Marjorie Harris Carr, along with University of Florida professors John Kaufmann and Joe Little, led a successful opposition movement that eventually defeated the plan.</p><br>
<p>In 1988 the University of Florida administration sought to develop the shoreline of Lake Alice with luxury student housing, eliminating the student gardens as well as the bat house in the process. After eleven years of organized protest against the development and a petition opposing it signed by more than 8,000 students, faculty, and other citizens, the proposal was halted on December 9, 1998, when Lawton Chiles, in one of his last acts as governor before his unexpected death 3 days later, moved at a meeting of the Florida Cabinet, to preserve the shoreline, and the motion passed unanimously.</p><br>
<p>In October 2017, an adult one-eyed alligator was photographed facing Museum Road near the shore.</p><br>
<p>Central State Hospital is a 192-bed adult psychiatric hospital located in eastern Louisville-Jefferson County, Kentucky. In 1869, 200 acres were purchased by the Kentucky State Legislature from the descendants of renown frontiersman Issac Hite to establish a "State House of Reform for Juvenile Delinquents." This was located on the outskirts of what would become Anchorage, Kentucky. In 1873, due to overcrowding at both of Kentucky&#39;s mental hospitals, the House of Reform was converted into the Fourth Kentucky Lunatic Asylum, with Dr. C.C. Forbes as its first Superintendent. The following year an act of the legislature renamed it the Central Kentucky Lunatic Asylum. In late 1887, it received its own post office, called simply "Asylum". The following year its name was changed to "Lakeland", and the institution was commonly referred to as "Lakeland Hospital" or "Lakeland Asylum". By 1900, its official name had been changed to the Central Kentucky Asylum for the Insane. By 1912 it was known as Central State Hospital. Comparable institutions are Eastern State Hospital at Lexington in Fayette County and Western State Hospital at Hopkinsville, Christian County, Kentucky. All three were administered by the Board of Charitable Organizations.</p><br>
<p>The secluded, rural setting was typical of such facilities in the late 19th century, as such an environment was thought to be beneficial for recovery from mental illness. However, not all patients had mental disorders - some suffered from brain damage, mental retardation or were simply poor or elderly. The early years of the 1880s were marked by repeated allegations of patient abuse. In 1879, Dr. Robert H. Gale was appointed superintendent. In 1882, conduct was investigated in the "ducking" or near drowning death of a patient. He was later exonerated of the charges. Gale was followed by H. K. Pusey in 1884.</p><br>
<p>Throughout Central States history, the institution suffered from improper funding, understaffing, and overcrowding. Though built to accommodate 1,600 patients, by 1940 there were in excess of 2,400 patients and again various accusations of patient mistreatment began to arise. However, starting in the 1950s, changing community perception of the mentally disturbed, led to fewer patients staying permanently in mental hospitals. In 1962, $3,000,000 was allowed by the state to construct more modern facilities on LaGrange Road. Many of these are still standing.</p><br>
<p>In 1986, a new modern administration facility was completed on property adjacent to the 1960s buildings. The original hospital and surviving structures on what was called "the North Campus" were subsequently abandoned and demolished in the late 1990s.</p><br>
<p>It is unknown how many deceased patients are buried on the hospital grounds, though over 900 death certificates exist denoting burial in both of the hospitals cemeteries.</p><br>
<p>Begun in 1898 in rural Frederick County, Maryland, the LeGore Bridge was completed and opened to the public in 1900. It was built and maintained by the owners of the LeGore Lime Company, including local businessman James William LeGore and his company advisor, Eugene Hammond. It is 340 feet  in length, 27 feet  wide and 64 feet  high. The bridge is situated at 39°35N 77°19W. The five arch limestone bridge was restored in 1981 and 2009.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was built for three purposes:</p><br>
<p>as part of a hydroelectric dam for an electric railway going from the Nation&#39;s Capital to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania,</p><br>
<p>for transport of limestone from the LeGore Quarry to sales companies in Pennsylvania, and</p><br>
<p>to accommodate the state-owned road for public travel across the Monocacy River.</p><br>
<p>Only the last of these panned out, and the LeGore Bridge is still used for everyday automobile traffic.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<p>Cockburn Island is an oval island 2.7 km long, consisting of a high plateau with steep slopes surmounted on the northwest side by a pyramidal peak 450 m high, lying in the north-east entrance to Admiralty Sound, south of the north-east end of Antarctic Peninsula. It was discovered by a British expedition under Ross, 1839–43, who named it for Admiral George Cockburn, Royal Navy, then senior Lord of the Admiralty.</p><br>
<h2>Geology</h2><br>
<p>Geologically, the area makes up the Cockburn Island Formation, which was studied extensively in the late 1990s by H. A. Jonkers. Rocks found on the island are volcanic, and the island is characterized by its "precipitous cliffs". A "Pecten conglomerate" from the late Pliocene or early Pleistocene period has been identified on the island, situated on a wave-cut platform at 720–820 ft.</p><br>
<h2>Wildlife</h2><br>
<p>The island has been identified as an Important Bird Area (IBA) by BirdLife International because it supports a breeding colony of about 800 pairs of imperial shags. Although a large colony of Adélie penguins and snow petrel nests were reported from the island in 1901, it is not known whether they continue to breed there. J.D. Hooker made a series of botanical collections on the island in 1843.</p><br>
<p>The Egyptian Theatre is a theatre and concert venue in Boise, Idaho. It has also been known as the Ada Theater. Inaugurated in 1927, it is the oldest theatre in the city. When it opened the local press wrote that it "embodies the characteristic features of the land of the Nile, from the truncated pyramids which form the great pylons, to the lotus bud pillars with their ornate frescoes". The great lotus pillars flanking the screen are based on those of Karnak. The theatre has been renovated by Conrad Schmitt Studios.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>It was designed by Frederick C. Hummel of architectural firm Tourtellotte & Hummel.</p><br>
<p>The theaters architecture is of the Egyptian revival style, inspired by the newly discovered King Tuts tomb. Over time, the structure underwent various changes. In 1999, it was remodeled once again after the original building.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>
<p>The theater is architecturally significant as one of the few surviving theaters from the grand cinema and movie palace era in Boise.</p><br>
<p>The Bourne Identity, The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatum film premieres were all hosted at The Egyptian Theatre.</p><br>
<p>Actor Aaron Paul rented out the Egyptian theater in downtown Boise to live stream the 14th episode of Breaking Bad.</p><br>
<p>Cunningham Lake  is situated approximately 91 km from Fort St. James, British Columbia via Lind Pit Lake road. Nankut Creek connects Cunningham to Stuart Lake.</p><br>
<p>It is also the name of a tranquil little village nearby, used as a Summer-Fall camp for thousands of years by the Yekoocheten people and other nearby Indigenous people. In fact, the Yekooche peoples very name derives from the area - Ye Koo refers to Yeko Bun (Cunningham Lake) and Che describes the tail end of Nankut Creek. Cunningham Lake Indian Reserve No. 11 is located on the south shore of the lake (officially to the Tlazten Nation known as Ye Koos Lee Indian Reserve 11).</p><br>
<p>As well as a source of hay for cows and horses, the area provides Lake trout, whitefish, kokanee, moose, bear, deer, duck, and beaver to hunters. Such food is dried or canned for winter, or historically, traded in Fort St. James for staples such as sugar, flour and rice.</p><br>
<p>There is a small island called Ruby Rock where the Joseph brothers have a Hunting/Fishing Guide Outfitting company. There is also a little peninsula, known as Yekoosle, where there are cabins owned by a family from Yekooche First Nation. There are also small cabins belonging to the Joseph brothers on the small reservation nearby which they use for haying and hunting. At night, guests can hear loons calling in the distance, and wolves and coyotes howling.</p><br>
<p>Rangsit Prayurasakdi Canal , also known for short as Rangsit Canal , is a canal in the eastern part of the Chao Phraya valley, central Thailand. The name of the canal was given by King Chulalongkorn  in honour of his son, Rangsit, Prince of Chainat.</p><br>
<p>Rangsit Canal was the first irrigation project of Siam (Thailand). King Chulalongkorn ordered to build in 1890 and assigned Prince Sai Sanitvongse (maternal grandfather of Prince Rangsit) as the project president.</p><br>
<p>The canal starts at the east bank of the Chao Phraya river in Tambon Ban Mai, Mueang Pathum Thani District, Pathum Thani Province. It the runs eastward passing by Thung Luang and terminates into the Nakhon Nayok River in Ongkharak district, Nakhon Nayok Province.</p><br>
<h2>Rangsit Canal boat service</h2><br>
<p>The Rangsit Canal passenger boat service is a planned water bus service that will operate on the Rangsit Canal in Pathum Thani Province. Rangsit Canal boat service has been in operation in March 2014. The 18-kilometre route will be served by 20 boats of 14 seats, and will operates 6:00am to 6:00pm.</p><br>
<h3>Route</h3><br>
<p>The first project was launched in Rangsit Canal, running from Prachathipat School to Tesco Lotus Klong 8 with a distance of 18 km, in March last year.</p><br>

<p>The Kotra  is a 109 km river in Belarus and Lithuania. The river is known due to a rare phenomenon of river bifurcation.</p><br>
<p>At first, the Kotra and Ūla form one river, known as the Pelesa, which originates in Belarus and flows in a northwestern direction. Just past the Belarus–Lithuania border, between the villages of Paramėlis and Kazliškės, some 22 km southeast of Varėna, it branches out into two independent rivers: the Kotra, a tributary of the Neman, and the Ūla, a tributary of the Merkys. This situation arose in the second half of the 19th century when the Ūla, due to its channel erosion, crossed the water divide between its own and the Kotra&#39;s drainage basins. As a result, the Ūla enlarged its basin by some 410 km&sup2; and the Kotra lost two of its tributaries. These processes also caused a decrease in groundwater levels and the almost total disappearance of several large lakes located in the site.</p><br>
<p>The Kotra flows along the Belarus–Lithuania border for 24 km and the remaining 85 km through Belarus. It then flows along the southern border of Čepkeliai Marsh, the area protected as a nature reserve With the changes in drainage basins and groundwater levels, some 20 km&sup2; of open marshes overgrew with trees. The Kotra and its surrounding marshes form wetlands of international importance: Kotra Ramsar site and Cepkeliai Ramsar site Varėna district municipality established a 1.085 km&sup2; reservoir to protect the natural Kotra environment.</p><br>
<p>Big Lake is a 646 acre oxbow lake in Holt County, Missouri near Big Lake, Missouri.</p><br>
<p>It is believed to have formed from the Missouri River sometime before Lewis & Clark visited the area in 1804. It is the largest oxbow lake in the state of Missouri.</p><br>
<p>Big Lake State Park, a 407 acre state park was established on the lakes northeast side in 1932. The State Park also includes the largest marsh in a state park in Missouri. The remaining two-thirds of the lake shore is occupied by privately owned cabins and residences. The lake is also known for being really shallow (usually only five feet) in most areas. Residents say you can walk across the lake if you are careful. The only known major deep spot in the lake is under the railroad trussel at the south side of the lake. This spot is almost 30 feet deep. The majority of the lakes fish reside here in winter.</p><br>
<p>The St. Mary&#39;s Episcopal Church and Rectory is an historic Carpenter Gothic style Episcopal church and its adjacent rectory located at 300  Oak Street in Milton, Florida. On May 6, 1982, it was added to the USA National Register of Historic Places. The rectory is also known as the McDougall House.</p><br>
<p>In 1989, St. Marys Episcopal Church was listed in A Guide to Floridas Historic Architecture, published by the University of Florida Press. The listing quotes from Frank Lloyd Wrights book, The Aesthetics of American Architecture, in which he wrote: "Saint Marys is a jewel created in the purest tradition of the Gothic Revival. It survives today wirh its pure lines intact, its muted colors untouched. Purity, it is without a blemish."</p><br>
<p>Lebedus or Lebedos  was one of the twelve cities of the Ionian League, located south of Smyrna, Klazomenai and neighboring Teos and before Ephesus, which is further south. It was on the coast, ninety stadia  to the east of Cape Myonnesus, and 120  west of Colophon.</p><br>
<p>The city was built on and around a very small peninsula (175 m long, reaching a height of 61 m and with an isthmus 201 m wide), which is called the Kısık Peninsula today and depends on the coastal township of Ürkmez, part of Seferihisar locality, a district center depending on the province seat of İzmir.</p><br>
<p>The bishopric of Lebedus, a suffragan of Ephesus, is included in the Catholic Church&#39;s list of titular sees.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>According to Pausanias, the town was inhabited by Carians when the Ionian Greeks immigrated there under the guidance of Andræmon, a son of Codrus. Strabo, however, states that it was colonized by Andropompus and that it previously bore the name of Artis in Lydia. Lebedos became a flourishing city thanks to its commerce, and was famous for its mineral springs. But it was one of the smaller cities of the Ionian League, handicapped by the limited space of its hinterland and a comparatively unsuitable port.</p><br>
<p>In the Hellenistic age, around 304 BC, Antigonus I Monophthalmus tried to join the city with Teos; however, this operation was incomplete and eventually annulled by Lysimachus, who moved its population to Ephesus in 292 BC.</p><br>
<p>Under Roman rule, it flourished anew, becoming the meeting place of the actors of all Ionia when these were temporarily exiled from Teos, and festivals were celebrated in honour of Dionysus.</p><br>
<p>Its scanty remains are near the modern town of Seferihisar.</p><br>
<p>Lebedus appears in Notitiæ episcopatum as an episcopal see, suffragan of Ephesus until the 12th and 13th centuries. Three bishops only are known: Cyriacus, who witnessed the Second Council of Ephesus in 449; Julian, represented by his metropolitan at the Council of Chalcedon in 451; Theophanes or Thomas, who attended the Second Council of Nicæa in 787.</p><br>

<p>Tioga Lake is a small glacial lake in the Inyo National Forest of Mono County, California, about two miles  north of the Tioga Pass entrance to Yosemite National Park. The lake bed is alongside State Route 120 in the Sierra Nevada mountains of northern California.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Unlike most passes through the Sierra which named for an individual, "tioga" is an Iroquois word, meaning "where it forks" or "swift current". However, Tioga County, New York is the namesake for the lake. The area is believed to have been settled as early as 10,000 years ago by California indigenous peoples. John Muir was among the first Americans to see the area. The next major interest came from the mining and logging industries.</p><br>
<h2>Recreation</h2><br>
<p>The lake offers trout fishing, a picnic area, and a 13-site managed campground. Some of the wildlife in the area are brave enough to approach humans, especially birds and marmots. Occasionally a bobcat or bighorn sheep can be seen, although the latter are particularly shy.</p><br>
<p>Because of its inaccessibility, the region and Tioga Lake itself are popular with campers who want to avoid the crowds of Yosemite, photographers, anglers, and nature lovers in general. Birds of prey are more common here, making Tioga Lake and its surroundings popular with bird watchers. Because of the altitude and its location at the crest of a major pass, the weather is extremely unpredictable, and the length of the seasons varies from year to year.</p><br>
