<p>The First Presbyterian Church Cemetery is the oldest cemetery in Knoxville, Tennessee, United States. Established in the 1790s, the cemetery contains the graves of some of Knoxville&#39;s most prominent early residents, including territorial governor and Constitutional Convention delegate William Blount and Knoxville founder James White. In 1996, the cemetery was added to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>While platting Knoxville with his son-in-law, Charles McClung, in 1791, White ordered at least one lot to be set aside for a church and cemetery. The cemetery spot may have been used as early as the 1780s for burials, and the cemetery contained several graves by 1799, but the earliest marker is Blount&#39;s, dated 1800. While the First Presbyterian congregation was active in the 1790s, the first church was not built on the site until 1816. The cemetery was used for burials for nearly sixty years, its most active period being during the Epidemic of 1838, in which hundreds of Knoxvillians died from an unidentified illness.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1790, after his fort was chosen as the capital for the newly created Southwest Territory, James White asked his son-in-law, surveyor Charles McClung, to lay out a new town, named "Knoxville" after Secretary of War Henry Knox. McClung initially divided the town into 64 half-acre (0.2-ha) lots, and added additional lots in 1795, with the cemetery lot being included in the later additions. While the cemetery was not officially platted until 1795, historians speculate that burials likely occurred before that date. When Moravian missionary Frederick de Schweinitz passed through Knoxville in 1799, he reported that the cemetery already had numerous burials.</p><br>
<p>The First Presbyterian congregation was organized by the Reverend Samuel Carrick in the 1790s, and the first church was erected adjacent to the cemetery in 1816. Shortly after the church&#39;s completion, disputes arose over several matters, including the renting of pews, and a doctrinal dispute between "Old Calvinists" and "Hopkinsians". A portion of the congregation split from First Presbyterian, and founded Second Presbyterian Church circa 1818.</p><br>
<p>In 1838, hundreds Knoxvillians died when an unknown illness (possibly malaria) swept through the town. Approximately one-tenth of the marked graves in the cemetery are dated "1838"&mdash; more than any other single year&mdash; and one tombstone mentions "the fever." During the Civil War, Confederate soldiers (who occupied the town 1861&ndash;1863) kept horses in the cemetery, and Union soldiers (who occupied the town 1863&ndash;1865) used the church as a hospital and barracks.</p><br>
<p>Humorist George Washington Harris (1814&ndash;1869), an ardent Presbyterian, served as an elder of the First Presbyterian Church during his years in Knoxville. Two of his children, Harriet (1838&ndash;1846) and George (1841&ndash;1842), are buried in the cemetery.</p><br>
<p>In the 1870s, the cemetery had an indirect effect on the career of future newspaper publisher, Adolph Ochs. Ochs, then a young teenager working after hours as a "printer&#39;s devil" for the Knoxville Chronicle, feared walking past the cemetery at night, as many locals believed it to be haunted. Rather than leave work after his shift (which ended close to midnight), Ochs stayed until daylight, spending the extra time learning the typesetting and printing trades.</p><br>
<p>The present First Presbyterian Church, constructed in 1910, is a Neoclassical building, with a Tiffany-style stained glass window.</p><br>
<h2>Layout and marker styles</h2><br>
<p>The First Presbyterian Church Cemetery resembles a traditional early Anglo-American cemetery, with graves crowded together and marked by relatively simple headstones. Most of the headstones are polished, upright stones, although a few (such as the Blounts) are flat stones. Most are adorned with simple inscriptions noting the deceaseds name, date of death, and number of years lived. A low iron fence surrounds the cemetery&#39;s perimeter, and crude stone walkways allow access.</p><br>

<p>First Baptist Church is a historic church located at 510 Main Street in Knoxville, Tennessee. It is on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The congregation was organized in 1843 by James and John Moses. After its first baptismal service in nearby First Creek, the church had 46 members, including 20 African-Americans. The church organized its first Sunday School in 1845. The first building was constructed on Gay Street in 1844. The second building was built at the same location in 1887.</p><br>
<p>The third (and present) building was completed in 1924 at the Main Street location, three years after Dr. Frederick Fernando Brown became pastor. This architecturally-significant structure, noteworthy for its Neoclassical design and octagonal sanctuary, was designed by Dougherty & Gardner of Nashville, Tennessee, and is modeled on St Martin-in-the-Fields of London. The exterior of the church sanctuary is sheathed in marble, although the adjoining education space is brick.</p><br>
<p>Kluane / Wrangell–St. Elias / Glacier Bay / Tatshenshini-Alsek is an international park system located in Canada and the USA, at the border of Yukon, Alaska and British Columbia.</p><br>
<p>It was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994 for the spectacular glacier and icefield landscapes as well as for the importance of grizzly bears, caribou and Dall sheep habitat. The total area of the site is 24,205,983 acre.</p><br>
<h2>Park system</h2><br>
<p>The international system comprises parks located in two countries and three administrative regions:</p><br>
<p>Kluane National Park and Reserve (Canada)</p><br>
<p>Wrangell – St. Elias National Park and Preserve (USA)</p><br>
<p>Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve (USA)</p><br>
<p>Tatshenshini-Alsek Provincial Park (provincial park, British Columbia, Canada)</p><br>
<p>The Pico Piedras Blancas , at 4,737 m, is the highest mountain of the Sierra de la Culata range in the Mérida State, and the fifth-highest mountain in Venezuela. Its name, meaning "White Stones", is of uncertain origin, since the massif is predominantly grey in color. Pico Piedras Blancas lacks glaciers; however, seasonal snowfalls may briefly cover its flanks. From its summit and under clear conditions, Lake Maracaibo can be seen. One of the accesses to reach the base of the mountain, is through the Mifafí Condor Reserve, which hosts some specimens of this andean bird.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>Pico Piedras Blancas is located 35 km to the northeast of Mérida, the state capital. Pico Piedras Blancas is very close to Pico Mucumamó, Pico Los Nevados and Pico El Buitre; all of them surround a high altitude valley in the heart of the Sierra de la Culata at approximately 4,200 m above sea level, known on topographic maps as Hoyo Negro ("Black Hole").</p><br>
<h2>Elevation</h2><br>
<p>A former measure of 4,762 metres, given by Jahn in 1910, was corrected to 4,737 metres in 1951. The latter measure was confirmed by a 2002 GPS survey.</p><br>
<h2>Climbing</h2><br>
<p>Though being the highest mountain of the Sierra de la Culata, it is not as frequently climbed as Pico Pan de Azucar in the same range of La Culata or the highest peaks of the Sierra Nevada de Mérida range.</p><br>
<p>Piedras Blancas can be best climbed during the dry season, from October to March</p><br>
<p>The principal accesses are two: through the Mifafí Condor Reserve, near Casa de Gobierno in the Trasandina road, and through the town of La Toma, nearby Mucuchíes, also in the Trasandina road</p><br>
<p>The normal route is through the eastern side of the massif</p><br>
<p>Hanging Lake is a lake in the USA State of Colorado. It is located in Glenwood Canyon, about 7 mi east of Glenwood Springs, Colorado and is a popular tourist destination. When open, the lake is reached via a trailhead located along the Glenwood Canyon Bike and Pedestrian Path that runs along the north side of I-70 in the bottom of the canyon. The trail follows Dead Horse Creek, a tributary of the Colorado River and ascends some 1,000 ft in elevation for 1.6 mi from the trailhead to the lake.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Early tales of the discovery of the lake tell of a man searching for gold in the canyon. The man found a dead horse at the opening of a gulch (the possible origin of Dead Horse Gulch). When he followed the gulch up through the steep hillside through the canyon he came around the backside of the lake. This is how he first saw the small bowl-like basin hanging onto the cliffs below.</p><br>
<p>In the years following, the area served as a homestead and a private family retreat until it was purchased by Glenwood Springs after the Taylor Bill was passed by Congress in 1910.</p><br>
<p>Following the purchase it began its long history as a public tourist stop, and later during the 1940s hosted a resort and cafe until the construction of Interstate-70 began in 1968.</p><br>
<p>In 1972, the trail and the lake were returned to the protection of the Forest Service as part of the White River National Forest, and has been an increasingly popular tourist destination since.</p><br>
<p>In 2011, the lake was named a National Natural Landmark by Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar.</p><br>
<h2>Geology and travertine</h2><br>
<p>The fragile shoreline of Hanging Lake is composed of travertine, created when dissolved limestone from the Mississippian Period Leadville Formation (through which Dead Horse Creek flows) is deposited on rocks and logs, creating travertine layers.</p><br>
<p>Hanging Lake is located on a fault line and was formed when roughly an acre and a half of the valley floor sheared off from the fault and dropped to what is now the shallow bed of the lake. The turquoise colors of the lake are produced by carbonate minerals that have dissolved in the water.</p><br>
<h2>Recreation</h2><br>
<p>Hanging Lake is one of the most popular hiking destinations in Colorado. The entire hike is approximately 3.2 miles round trip, and 2 hours of hiking time. Behind the lake, hikers will discover Spouting Rock, a much larger waterfall that flows from a set of holes in the limestone cliffs of Dead Horse Canyon.</p><br>
<p>Hanging Lake receives over 131,000 visitors per year.</p><br>
<h2>Fragile ecosystem</h2><br>
<p>Because of the high amount of traffic, Hanging Lake faces the threats of ecological disruption. Litter from visitors, and the effects of wading and swimming by humans and dogs (dogs and swimming are both prohibited), are having a significant impact on the peculiar ecosystem of the lake.</p><br>
<p>Mill Ruins Park is a park in downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States, standing on the west side of Saint Anthony Falls on the Mississippi River. The park interprets the history of flour milling in Minneapolis and shows the ruins of several flour mills that were abandoned.</p><br>
<p>The park is the result of an archaeological study of the Saint Anthony Falls Historic District. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971. In 1983, a project was being considered to extend West River Parkway along the west side of the Mississippi River in downtown Minneapolis. Scott Anfinson, then the municipal county highway archaeologist for the Minnesota Historical Society, developed a plan to assess archaeological sites along the riverfront. A number of test excavations along the route revealed a wide variety of sites containing items of interest. In the Bassett&#39;s Creek area, for example, the foundations of two sawmills and the remains of a railroad roundhouse were found, while near Hennepin Avenue, the investigation found the footings of the Great Northern Railway Union Depot and the tower bases of the first and second Hennepin Avenue Bridges. In the milling district, archaeologists found clues suggesting that there were still extensive remains of the foundations of the mills and waterpower system.</p><br>
<p>The first round of archaeological surveys in the 1980s was intended to save the ruins from destruction as a result of road construction projects. Later, in the 1990s, the focus shifted from environmental impact assessment to exposing ruins for their interpretive value. As the ruins were made visible to the public, the goal was to create assets for education, tourism, and commercial development. The excavations for Mill Ruins Park began in 1998 and continued through 2001. The process also involved stabilizing the remains of the Washburn "A" Mill, which had burned in 1991. The Washburn "A" Mill became part of the Mill City Museum.</p><br>
<p>Along with the remains of several flour mills and other industrial buildings, the park also contains two stone piers and several iron girder piers that held a trestle for the Minneapolis Eastern Railroad. The tailraces from the waterpower canal are also clearly visible, and the water flow has been restored through the canal. Signs posted along the walkways interpret the ruins and the history of the area.</p><br>
<p>Keechelus Lake is a lake and reservoir in the northwest United States, near Hyak in Kittitas County, Washington. Approximately 50 mi southeast of Seattle and a few miles southeast of Snoqualmie Pass, it is the source of the Yakima River.</p><br>
<p>Keechelus Lake is the western-most of three large lakes near Interstate 90 and north of the Yakima River in the Cascade Range; the other two are Kachess Lake in the middle and Cle Elum Lake to the east. After crossing nearby Snoqualmie Pass at an elevation of 3,020 ft, Interstate 90 runs along the lake&#39;s eastern shoreline and tight against mountains. Its westbound lanes included a snowshed midway (47.355&deg; latitude, -121.3658&deg; longitude, milepost 57.7); built in 1950 for USA Route 10, it was removed in April 2014.</p><br>
<p>Keechelus Lake is part of the Columbia River basin, being the source of the Yakima River, which is tributary to the Columbia River.</p><br>
<p>The lake is used as a storage reservoir for the Yakima Project, an irrigation project run by the United States Bureau of Reclamation. Although a natural lake, Keechelus Lake&#39;s capacity and discharge is controlled by Keechelus Dam, a 128 ft high earthfill structure built in 1917. As a storage reservoir, its active capacity is 157,900 acre.ft.</p><br>
<p>The name Keechelus comes from a Native American term meaning "few fish", in contrast to Kachess Lake, whose name means "more fish".</p><br>
<p>The Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad ("Milwaukee Road") formerly ran along the west shore of the lake and crossed the Cascades through the 2¼-mile (3.6 km) Snoqualmie Tunnel, with its east portal at Hyak. Late to the West with its Pacific Extension, the Milwaukee Roads traffic to Tacoma began in 1909 and initially was routed over Snoqualmie Pass; the tunnel opened five years later in 1914 and heads due west from Hyak at an approximate elevation of 2,600 ft. Close to the east portal near the lakes northwest shore was the Milwaukee Ski Bowl, built in 1937 and operated by the railroad until 1950.</p><br>
<p>The Milwaukee Road went through several bankruptcies; its rails were abandoned in 1980 and the right-of-way is now a rail trail, Iron Horse State Park, which includes the tunnel.</p><br>
<p>About two miles (3 km) south of Keechelus Lake, the Northern Pacific Railway crossed the Cascades at Stampede Pass, and later through the associated tunnel, which opened in 1888. This route is still in use by NP&#39;s successor, BNSF Railway. It also had a ski area, Martin Ski Dome, which was opened by the NP in 1939 but shuttered during World War II. Sold to the student association of the University of Washington in 1946, it became Husky Chalet. Heavy snows crushed the lodge in 1956 and the ski area did not re-open.</p><br>
<p>The Wool Hall is a historic building in St Thomas Street, Redcliffe, Bristol.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Wool had been a popular trade in Bristol since the 11th century, but the smell generated by fullers softening wool in urine meant the trade was banished from the city centre and forced to relocate to Redcliffe.</p><br>
<p>The building was constructed in 1830 to house the city&#39;s wool market, It was designed in the classical style with a symmetrical front. Internally, the building included a Pennant-flagged ground floor and staircase.</p><br>
<p>The building survived the bombing of Bristol during World War II, unlike several 17th-century buildings adjacent to it which were hit and subsequently demolished. In 1980, the building was modified to include new doors. It now houses offices and a pub, appropriately named The Fleece.</p><br>
<p>The Wool Hall was awarded grade II listed building status by English Heritage in 1975.</p><br>
<p>Mount Hobson  is the highest mountain on Great Barrier Island, New Zealand. Located in the centre of the island, it rises 627 m above sea level.</p><br>
<p>Various mountain tracks allow relatively easy access to the summit, with the shortest (2 hour) track leading through the famous Windy Canyon. Great views over the island, to the Coromandel Peninsula and the Poor Knights Islands are often possible from the top of the mountain. The summit area is also a breeding ground for the black petrel, and the track in this part is mostly composed of boardwalks and stairs to protect the breeding areas and prevent erosion. A number of rare and declining plants on the mainland are largely restricted (or completely restricted) to Great Barrier Island are found on Mount Hobson, these include, Pittosporum kirkii, Epacris sinclairii, Kunzea sinclairii, and also Olearia allomii.</p><br>
<p>The Theban Tomb TT52 is located in Sheikh Abd el-Qurna, part of the Theban Necropolis, on the west bank of the Nile, opposite to Luxor. It is the burial place of the Ancient Egyptian official, Nakht.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The tomb architecture and decoration conforms to the standard design of Theban tombs of the New Kingdom by using such scenes that are commonly found in contemporary tombs. Some of these decorations display differences from scenes found in Old Kingdom mastabas of Memphis, where one of the principal functions of the tomb was to ensure magical sustenance for the ka, whereas in the New Kingdom tombs, the primary function was to identify oneself on the tomb walls.</p><br>
<p>The tomb has the typical T-shaped architectural design that was common for non-royal Theban tombs of the New Kingdom; there was a broad hall, which followed from the entrance and court. This led into an inner chamber, the long hall, and the shrine, which was situated in a niche, containing the statue of the deceased. These chambers were designed to contain scenes for the service of the dead in their afterlife. Essentially, this architectural design is somewhat similar to that of the bipartite mastabas of the Old Kingdom, which contained two main chambers, the offering chapel and the burial chamber, as these New Kingdom tombs also contain two main chambers. However, in the latter tombs both of the chambers are created for different purposes to that of the chambers within the Old Kingdom mastabas. Within the mastaba, the offering chapel was dedicated to the sustenance of the deceased beyond death by magically providing food and water. Such scenes are generally not depicted as often in the New Kingdom tombs.</p><br>
<h2>Decoration</h2><br>
<p>The stela on the south wall of the broad hall shows men making offerings to images of the deceased. Beneath this, Nut is shown before a pile of offerings. This scene, therefore, shows that the dead were not wholly reliant on their family for offerings but could rely on "a divine source as well". Similar scenes could also be found on the walls of Old Kingdom burials, depicting processions of people bringing offerings for the deceased. However, Malek wrote that offerings scenes are rarer in New Kingdom tombs than in the Old Kingdom.</p><br>
<p>Two corresponding scenes are depicted on the east wall next to the entrance to the broad hall. These scenes show Nakht and his wife, Tawy, making offerings to Ra, who is manifested by the sunlight that would emerge from the doorway. This scene is depicted to show the continuation of an earthly ritual in the afterlife – in the New Kingdom private individuals had access to an afterlife meaning that they could expect to enter the Field of Reeds.</p><br>
<p>A scene on the south side of the west wall represents a banquet scene. This genre of scene is frequently represented in New Kingdom tombs. The family of the deceased, in this case Nakht and Tawy, is also shown together being entertained by the musicians and dancers. Malek wrote that by including such scenes in the tomb, the deceased could be guaranteed potency in the hereafter. She writes that banquet scenes "are littered with such references" including the inclusion of mandrakes and lotus flowers, which are being held by the women in the second register. These type of scenes were highly common in New Kingdom Theban tombs.</p><br>
<p>On the south side of the east wall, there is an agricultural scene. Nakht is shown overseeing men who are ploughing, sowing and harvesting the fields. The scenes of agriculture may show the continuation of Nakht’s life in the Field of Reeds. However, as suggested by Noblecourt, these scenes may metaphorically show an eternal life through the process of farming, through the seasons. If Noblecourt’s view is accurate, then the scenes are different from that of Old Kingdom mastabas, where any agricultural scenes were designed primarily as a means of magically ensuring the continuity of farming on the estates of the deceased, thereby allowing sustenance for their ka.</p><br>
<p>On the north side of the west wall, Nakht is shown in a further frequently depicted scene: the fishing and fowling scene. This type of scene is also commonly found in New Kingdom, and although they were not uncommon in Old Kingdom mastabas, within the latter their primary purpose was to provide magical sustenance for the dead. In the tomb of Nakht, he is shown spearing fish and fowl, together with his family. Davies (1917:66) suggests that "sustenance…was not always coaxed from the soil by severe labor ", indicating that this scene was used to show a form of receiving food after death in a different way, for entertainment for the deceased and for an artistic change of genre. However, there is a different interpretation that they were, like banquet scenes, depicted to show an image of potency and creativity after death as some of the equipment is similar and "the women present…wear outfits similar to that worn for a banquet".</p><br>
<p>Davies writes that all of these scenes may have had a further important motif in showing the family of the deceased together. He wrote that the Egyptians enjoyed family life and "the strength with which love of family survived death is witnessed to by the family groups painted on nearly every wall", suggesting that one purpose of the tomb scenes was to guarantee their company beyond death.</p><br>
<p>The architecture and decoration display much evidence for the thought of the Egyptians regarding their afterlife. As the tomb was split into two chambers, it can be said that they regarded their death in two parts, their afterlife and the transition phase between death and the afterlife, the latter not being depicted in the Tomb of Nakht. The decoration shows that, in contrast to Old Kingdom beliefs, as depicted of the walls of Memphite mastabas, its most important function was depict a life after death, together with family, with indications of creativity and potency, and "thus the picture of Theban life in a tomb of the Eighteenth Dynasty is a clear mirror of existence…of the homesteads around it where the nature-loving Egyptian preferred to dwell".</p><br>
<p>Tunip was a city-state in western Syria in 1350–1335 BC, the period of the Amarna letters. The name "Syria" did not yet exist, though this was already the time of ancient Assyria. The regions were: Amurru, Nuhašše, the Amqu , Nii, etc.</p><br>
<p>The record of the appellation Tunip is mainly from Egyptian records, (Thutmose III, and Ramesses II), and especially the Amarna letters. (But a king named Tunip-Tessup is also known from roughly the same period.)</p><br>
<p>Tunip is especially mentioned in the Amarna letters of Aziru, residing in Amurru and in conflict with the king of Hatti. He is often claiming to reside in Tunip, until it is safe to leave, or to try to defend other cities/city-states of his region. The local region in Syria, Nuhašše is also in conflict, and is mentioned in 7 of Azirus 13 EA letters, (EA for el Amarna&#39;).</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>The exact location of Tunip remains uncertain, although theres now increasing evidence that it is at the site of Tell Acharneh.</p><br>
<p>This important city was sought either in northern Phoenicia (Helck 1973) or in the Middle Orontes. Two prominent sites have been suggested in the latter region: Tell Hama in the modern city of Hama (Astour 1977) and Tell Asharneh in the southern Ghab Valley northwest of Hama (Klengel 1995).</p><br>
<p>The 70 hectare site of Tell Asharneh (also known as Tell &#39;Acharneh) on the banks of the Orontes River (near Tell Salhab) in Syria has been widely seen as the likely location of Tunip. The authors of the above study support the identification of Tunip as Tell Asharneh based on petrographic analysis.</p><br>
<p>A team of Canadian archaeologists have been conducting excavations at the site of Tell &#39;Acharneh, under the direction of Michel Fortin of Laval University in Quebec city.</p><br>
<h2>Amarna letters regarding Tunip</h2><br>
<p>Five letters reference Tunip in the Amarna letters corpus, 3 from Aziru&#39;s sub-corpus.</p><br>
<h3>EA 59, "From the citizens of Tunip"</h3><br>
<h3>EA 161, "An absence explained", Aziru no. 6 of 13</h3><br>
<p>Letter EA 161 shows how Aziru claims he was made a mayor of his region (or city), in Amurru.</p><br>

<p>The Chicago Bee Building is a historic building on Chicago&#39;s South Side. It originally housed the Chicago Bee, a newspaper serving the African Americans of Chicago. The building now houses the Chicago Bee Branch of the Chicago Public Library. The building was named a Chicago Landmark on September 9, 1998. It is located in the Black Metropolis-Bronzeville District in the Douglas community area of Chicago, Illinois.</p><br>
<p>The Chicago Bee was founded by the African American entrepreneur Anthony Overton in 1926. This building was Overtons affirmation of his confidence in the viability of the State Street Commercial district. This three-story building was one of the most picturesque in the district, and the one designed in the Art Deco style of the 1920s. All of Overtons enterprises shared this building until the early 1940s when the newspaper went out of business. The cosmetics firm continued to occupy the building until the early 1980s. The City of Chicago purchased the building and it is now a Chicago Public Library. It originally had upper-floor apartments. It also housed the offices of the Douglass National Bank and the Overton Hygienic Company, during the 1930s. The Overton Hygienic Company was nationally known as a cosmetics firm.</p><br>
<p>Overton Hygienic went out of business in the early 1980s. In the mid-1990s, the building was reused as a branch of the Chicago Public Library. It is one of nine structures in the Black Metropolis-Bronzeville Historic District. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 30, 1986.</p><br>
<p>The Arthur H. Compton House is a historic house at 5637 South Woodlawn Avenue in Chicago, Illinois. Built in 1916, it was the residence of physicist Arthur Compton  from the late 1920s until 1945. Compton discovered the Compton Effect in 1923, proving that light has both a particle and a wave aspect. Compton received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1927 for this discovery. His house was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1976.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Arthur H. Compton House is located in Chicagos Hyde Park neighborhood, northeast of the University of Chicago campus. It is located on the east side of South Woodlawn Avenue, between East 56th and East 57th Streets. It is an architecturally undistinguished 2-1/2 story brick building with a gabled roof. A flat-roof single-story enclosed porch extends across the front, with a chimney rising in front of the ridge between the porch and main block. The main entrance is on the right side of the house. The interior follows a central hall plan, and has been little altered since Comptons period of ownership.</p><br>
<p>Compton, a native of Wooster, Ohio, was educated at Wooster College and Princeton University, where he received a Ph.D in physics. In 1919, as a fellow of the National Research Council, he spent a year in England, where he participated in X-ray scattering experiments at Cavendish Laboratory. In 1923 he joined the faculty of the University of Chicago, where he continued to research X-ray scattering, and in 1923 published his groundbreaking paper on the Compton Effect. He later supported the efforts of Enrico Fermi to harness nuclear power, supporting advances for its use in both military and civilian applications.</p><br>
<p>The Prairie Avenue District is a historic district in the Near South Side community area of Chicago, Illinois. It includes the 1800 and 1900 blocks of South Prairie Avenue and the 1800 block of South Indiana, and 211-217 East Cullerton. It was the site of the Battle of Fort Dearborn and became the city&#39;s most fashionable residential district after the Great Chicago Fire. It was designated a Chicago Landmark on December 27, 1979. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 15, 1972. The John J. Glessner House, designed by Henry Hobson Richardson in 1885–1886 at 1800 S. Prairie Avenue, has been restored as a historic house museum and is open for public tours. In 2006, the Prairie District Neighborhood Alliance, a non-profit organization was formed to provide representation for thousands of South Loop residents, including the Prairie District, Central Station and Museum Park, Motor Row, the South Michigan Ave Corridor, as well as other areas of the Near South Side.</p><br>
<p>Devínska Kobyla  is the highest peak in the Devín Carpathians, part of the Little Carpathians mountain range, and the highest point of Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia. It is located between the boroughs of Devínska Nová Ves, Devín and Dúbravka, close to the border with Austria. Its peak elevation is 514 m  AMSL and its treeless summit contains an abandoned military missile base  that is officially inaccessible to the public.</p><br>
<p>Part of southern slopes of the massif has been a national natural reserve since 1965, featuring unique xerothermic forest-steppe flora and fauna with a total protected area of 101 hectares. From the flat top, a view opens of Bratislava, Austria, Hungary, the Danube and the Morava river. Hiking trails do not lead to the summit but instead to an accessible point with partial view underneath.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Devínska Kobyla and its surroundings are one of the four divisions of Devín Carpathians, part of Little Carpathians, itself part of the Carpathian mountains.</p><br>
<h2>Flora and fauna</h2><br>
<p>The small area contains 234 species of identified mushrooms, 110 species of identified lichens, 100 species of identified moss, and 1,110 species of identified higher or vascular plants. The southern and south-western slopes of the mountain at the western edge of Bratislava provide ideal living conditions for xerothermic forest-steppe flora and fauna. The woods on the south-western slopes are the remains of the original oak forest.</p><br>
<h2>Hiking</h2><br>
<p>There is a four-kilometer instructive path that leads through Devínska Kobyla, with one significant area called Sandberg. This is one of the most important palaeontological localities in Slovakia. The yellow faces of the old sandpit has remnants of rocks of the tertiary sea with horizontally deposited layers, and there are still fossils of sea fauna to be found there. The age of these rocks is estimated to be between 14 and 16 million years old.</p><br>
<p>The Yenowine-Nichols-Collins House was once on the National Register of Historic Places in Georgetown, Indiana. A fire took place on October 31, 2005, due to Halloween arson, and the building was torn down in 2008. As of 2008, First Harrison Bank had plans to use materials from the building in a new bank branch. The house was built in 1832, and was a two-story, five bay, Federal style brick dwelling. It had a rear ell, low gable roof, and gable end chimneys.</p><br>
<p>The last of the descendants of the builders, Mabelle Collins, in 1983 created a "preservation easement" that required that the house be kept in historical condition. This stopped the owners since 1994, Charles and Lynda Meyer, in their attempts to use or sell the building as they wished.</p><br>
<p>The Historic Landmarks Foundation of Indiana is helping with the recovery. This, after taking measures in 2004 to stop the moving of the building. HLFI offered $10,000 for the arrest of the arsonist, but the Meyers refused HLFI&#39;s demands that they add to the offer; the arson occurred two months after HLFI successfully sued the Meyers to use their own money to restore the house. At the time of the fire, the Meyers still had not done anything to restore the house, despite the ruling. The Meyers stated they want the House to be considered a total loss.</p><br>
<p>In December 2007, Historic Landmarks Foundation of Indiana announced that it had reached an agreement with First Harrison Bank that would guarantee the reconstruction of the Yenowine-Nichols-Collins House. The bank intended to purchase the structure (which was damaged beyond repair), salvage the bricks and other material and rebuild the home to its original appearance as part of a new bank branch.</p><br>
<p>On March 6, 2008, the House was removed from the National Register, as it had been torn down.</p><br>

<p>The Sweet Gum Stable, also known as Farmer&#39;s Feed and Supply, was located at the southeast corner of Main and W. Seventh Street in New Albany, Indiana. The property was a stop of the Underground Railroad, ten blocks west of another stop, the Town Clock Church, and a mere block away from the River Jordan for fugitive slaves, the Ohio River. The stable was built in 1877, and consisted of a balloon frame stable with an attached small brick and frame dwelling constructed about 1836. A feed store was added to the building in 1886. The structured measured 60 feet by 120 feet and encompassed the entire lot.</p><br>
<p>The house on the property was built by steamboat captain Thomas Riddle. After the American Civil War, Riddle&#39;s heirs sold most of the property to William Robison and James Payton. From them Frank Howard bought the property, and built the Sweet Gum Stable on the grounds of the original livery stable.</p><br>
<p>In early 1996, the stable was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. In late 1998, it was sold at auction, and on May 22, 1999 was torn down. A feed store is in its place. The stable was removed from the National Register in December 2011.</p><br>
<p>The Wabash Avenue YMCA is a Chicago Landmark located within the Chicago Landmark Black Metropolis-Bronzeville Historic District in the Douglas community area of Chicago, Illinois. This YMCA facility served as an important social center within the Black Metropolis area, and it also provided housing and job training for African Americans migrating into Chicago in the early 20th century. In 1915, the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, one of the first groups specializing in African-American studies, was founded at the YMCA.</p><br>
<p>The Black Metropolis area in Chicago, centered on the area of 35th Street and State Street, was a city within a city developed by the black community as an alternative to the restrictions, exploitations, and indifference of the city at large. The Wabash Avenue YMCA was opened in 1914, supported by Julius Rosenwald, president of Sears, Roebuck and Company at the time. Rosenwald had a philanthropic interest in black-oriented causes. The YMCA provided job training programs such as auto repair and manual training. The Black Metropolis district thrived through the 1920s, but competition from white-owned businesses on 47th Street and the effects of the Great Depression led to the closure of many of the black-owned businesses. Declining membership and deterioration of the building led to its closing in 1981. In the late 1990s, however, a nine-million dollar renovation project was undertaken by to return to the building to its rightful condition.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the USA National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<p>Lake Işıklı  is a freshwater lake in Turkey&#39;s inner Aegean Region extending on Çivril Plain between the provinces of Denizli and Afyonkarahisar. The lake is bordered by the boundaries of several districts, namely, clockwise Çivril , the principal urban center of the region, and Kızılören, Dinar and Evciler . A township on the lake shore and that is part of Çivril district carries the same name as the lake .</p><br>
<p>The lake lies at an altitude of 821 m and its area is 73 square kilometres. Its waters fed by streams are used for irrigation for the surrounding agricultural lands and the lake is also an important fishing and aquaculture center at regional scale.</p><br>
<p>Lake Işıklı is an important site for breeding waterbirds and large numbers of wintering wildfowl. It has been proposed as an Important Bird Area. Some of the species that breed or migrate through Lake Işıklı are; greater white-fronted goose (Anser albifrons), red-crested pochard (Netta rufina), common pochard (Aythya ferina), ferruginous duck (Aythya nyroca), squacco heron (Ardeola ralloides), pygmy cormorant (Phalacrocorax pygmeus), common coot (Fulica atra), gull-billed tern (Sterna nilotica), whiskered tern (Chlidonias hybrida).</p><br>
<p>The One North LaSalle Building or One LaSalle Street Building is a building in the LaSalle Street corridor in the Loop community area of Chicago. It was for some time one of Chicago&#39;s tallest buildings. Built in 1930 by architects Vitzthum & Burns, it replaces the Tacoma Building by Holabird & Roche. The building is located across Madison Street from Roanoke Building. It was designated a Chicago Landmark on April 16, 1996, and added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 22, 1999. Its 5th floor relief panels depict the explorations of René-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle.</p><br>
<h2>Height and Ranking</h2><br>
<p>The Chicago Board of Trade Building was the tallest building in Chicago for some 35 years by conventional definitions. At 530 ft and 48 stories, One North LaSalle was the fourth tallest building (fifth tallest after the completion of the LaSalle National Bank Building) structure for approximately the same period. Other sources, however, claim this building was the tallest structure for approximately the same period defined by excluding items on top of the main building such as the Board of Trade Building&#39;s statue and pyramidal top, the steeple of the Chicago Temple Building, the pyramidal top of the Pittsfield Building, and the mansard roof of the Civic Opera House. The height differences are easily seen in scale depictions.</p><br>
<p>The Cesano is a river in the Marche region of Italy. Its source is near Monte Catria on the border between the province of Perugia and the province of Pesaro e Urbino. The river flows northeast through Pesaro e Urbino before forming the border between Pesaro e Urbino and the province of Ancona for a short distance. It continues flowing northeast through Pesaro e Urbino and flows past Pergola before becoming the border with Ancona again near San Lorenzo in Campo. The river flows northeast near Mondavio, Corinaldo and Monte Porzio before the province of Ancona extends westward beyond the bank of the river for a short distance near Mondolfo. Finally, the river flows into the Adriatic Sea north of Senigallia and south of Marotta and Fano.</p><br>
<p>In Roman times the Cesano was known as Suasanus, since it passed through the city of Suasa.</p><br>
<p>Under the river&#39;s bed a petrified forest of 50,000 years ago has been discovered.</p><br>
<p>Big Jay is a 3,786 ft  mountain in the northern Green Mountains of Vermont, located on the border of Franklin and Orleans counties.</p><br>
<p>The summit of Big Jay is the highest point of Franklin County. Big Jay is flanked to the south by Little Jay (3,182 ft), and to the northeast by Jay Peak (3,865 ft), the highest summit of the Jay Peak complex.</p><br>
<p>Jay Peak is named for John Jay (1745–1829) of New York, one of the "founding fathers" of the United States.</p><br>
<p>Big Jay stands within the watershed of the Trout River, a tributary of the Missisquoi River, which drains into Lake Champlain, thence into Canada&#39;s Richelieu River, the Saint Lawrence River, and into the Gulf of Saint Lawrence.</p><br>
<p>The east and southeast sides of Big Jay drain into Jay Brook, which joins the South Branch Trout River in Montgomery to form the Trout River. The southwest and western sides of Big Jay drain into Hannah Clark Brook, and thence into the Trout. The northern end of Big Jay drains into Black Falls Brook, and thence into the Trout.</p><br>
<p>There is no official hiking trail on Big Jay, although there is a herd path to the summit from Jay Peak. There is also a summit register. In the summer of 2007 two men cut an illegal ski trail several hundred yards down the eastern side of the protected habitat. The offense carries a maximum $5,000 fine and five years in jail. Hikers and skiers have been encouraged to stay away from the scar caused by the vandalism so that the area can recover.</p><br>
<p>Vydrica  is a small 17 km long river in south-western Slovakia, which originates in the Little Carpathians mountains at about 450 m AMSL and flows into the Danube through the capital Bratislava.</p><br>
<p>The river passes through the Bratislava Forest Park and enters the Danube in Karlova Ves borough. Some localities along the river are part of Natura 2000. It is one of few rivers in Slovakia to flow directly into the Danube.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Vydrica originates underneath the Biely kríž col underneath the Malý Javorník peak, in an area called Dubové. It flows south-west through the Bratislava Forest Park, collecting an unknown tributary and feeding two man-made water basins. It turns towards west creating four meanders in 2 kilometers of its length and close to the quarry underneath the Hrubý vrch mountain (394,0 AMSL) it turns again towards south. Vydrica then flows around the Hrubý Drieňovec mountain (396,7 ASML) and it collects its right tributary Bystrička as it enters the area of the upper Mlynská dolina and flows through Partizánska lúka (Partisan meadow) and the neighboring Železná studienka (Iron well), where it feeds four fish ponds. This area served for leisure and relaxation since the 19th century.</p><br>
<p>Vydrica then flows mainly southward through Patrónka, lower Mlynská dolina until it enters the Danube near the Lafranconi bridge and the Botanical Garden of the Comenius University. During the bridge&#39;s construction, Vydrica was canalized in this section.</p><br>
<h2>Flora and fauna</h2><br>
<p>The Vydrica stream basin contains rare and endangered molluscs.</p><br>
<p>The William Dean Howells House is a house built and occupied by American author William Dean Howells and family. It is located at 37 Concord Avenue, Cambridge, Massachusetts. The house was designed by Howell&#39;s wife, Elinor Mead, and occupied by the family from 1873-1878. Authors including Mark Twain, Henry James, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, and Thomas Bailey Aldrich visited the Howells in this house, as did President James Garfield, and Helen Keller lived there afterwards while attending school.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>As early as August 1872, William Dean Howells wrote to his brother-in-law that he had purchased land on Concord Avenue in Cambridge, Massachusetts for 33 cents per square foot. The family moved into their new home there on July 7, 1873. Howells and his wife agreed it was "the prettiest house in Cambridge" and intended to live there for the rest of their lives.</p><br>
<p>The Howells family left the home in 1878, after which they moved to Redtop in Belmont, Massachusetts. By 1900, they had purchased a home near Gloucester, Massachusetts.</p><br>
<p>After the death of his wife Elinor Mead Howells in May 1910, Howells considered moving back to the Concord Avenue home with his daughter Mildred. Without Mrs. Howells, however, they found it "dreadful in its ghostliness and ghastliness" and, further, that the area had become noisy since the addition of two trolley lines nearby.</p><br>
<p>Before moving to the Concord Avenue house, the Howells family had lived, from 1866 to 1872, in a house (built in 1857) a few blocks north of Harvard University, at 41 Sacramento Street in Cambridge. Unlike the Concord Avenue house, the Sacramento Street house is not on the National Register of Historic Places, but does have a city of Cambridge historic landmark designation.</p><br>
<h3>Recent history</h3><br>
<p>In recent times, this house fell into very serious disrepair, but was in 2011 restored by a local historic-restoration-specialist builder, after consultations with the City of Cambridge Historical Commission.</p><br>
<p>Jay Peak is a mountain located about 5 mi.  south of the Canada–US border, in Jay and Westfield, Orleans County, Vermont, of which it is the highest point.</p><br>
<p>Most of the mountain is in Jay Peak State Forest.</p><br>
<p>The mountain is named for the town of Jay in which much of the mountain except the peak area is located. The town of Jay, in turn, is named for the First Chief Justice of the United States and local landholder, John Jay. It is part of the northern Green Mountains.</p><br>
<p>The mountain is flanked to the southwest by Big Jay, and to the north by North Jay Peak (3,438 ft / 1,048 m).</p><br>
<p>The mountain is in the watershed of the Missisquoi River, which drains into Lake Champlain, thence into Canada&#39;s Richelieu River, the Saint Lawrence River, and into the Gulf of Saint Lawrence.</p><br>
<p>The south side of the mountain drains into Jay Brook, thence west into the Trout River and the Missisquoi River.</p><br>
<p>The northwest side of the mountain drains into Black Falls Brook, and thence into the Trout River.</p><br>
<p>The north and northeast sides of the mountain drain east into the Jay Branch of the Missisquoi River.</p><br>
<p>Jay Peak is the northernmost major mountain crossed by the Long Trail, a 272-mile (438-km) hiking trail running the length of Vermont.</p><br>
<p>The Jay Peak Resort is on the northeast side of Jay Peak.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>On November 10, 1943, a Royal Canadian Air Force training plane crashed into the west side of the mountain near the top during a blinding snowfall killing one crew member.</p><br>
<p>In the mid 1950s brothers Ernest W. Gilpin and Wallace H. Gilpin, both state legislators and newspaper men, began and achieved their campaign to construct a highway over Jay Peak, to connect Troy to Montgomery,_Vermont. The Starr family of Troy donated portions of land for the right-of-way for the Vermont Route 242 construction.</p><br>
<p>The peaks across the highway to the south are named for the brothers Gilpin, "Gilpin Mountain," a stone monument was dedicated to them and sits at the main entrance to the Jay Peak Resort at the highway.</p><br>
<p>The Lusk Home and Mill Site was the first development in present Turkey Run State Park, Indiana&#39;s second oldest state park.</p><br>
<p>Vermonter Salmon Lusk was awarded this land for serving in the Battle of Tippecanoe under William Henry Harrison. The Lusks werely largely self-sufficient. Captain Lusk built a log cabin in 1822 and lived there with his spouse and eight children until 1841. Then he and his sons made bricks, carved walnut woodwork, and built the brick house. He dug a coal mine to heat his house. Lusk built a gristmill in 1826 with a foundation of stone-cut stone. A horizontal waterwheel was powered by water diverted by a dam down a race. A settlement grew around Lusks house and mill, until a Sugar Creek flood on New Years Day, 1847, washed away every building except Lusks brick house. Salmon Lusks wife lived there until 1880, when John Lusk inherited the property. He was inactive managing the site except for preventing woodcutting.</p><br>
<p>After John Lusk died in 1915, the property was put up for sale. A logging company, Hoosier Veneer, paid US$30,200.00 for the site. Richard Lieber and the State Parks Commission raised $40,000.00 to buy the land from the lumber company after last minute support from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on November 11, 1916. The Lusk parcel was the first land obtained for Turkey Run State Park.</p><br>
<p>The Lusk Home is open for tours during the summer. There is a fee for parking vehicles within the state park, but visitors may avoid the fee by parking on a nearby public road, and walking to the Lusk Home. The coal mine is a bat habitat today. This is farther inside the park, so visitors must negotiate Turkey Run&#39;s rugged hiking trails to gain access to avoid fees.</p><br>
<p>The Pico Pan de Azúcar, at 4680 meters above sea level, is the ninth highest mountain of Venezuela, and the third highest of the Sierra de la Culata range in the Mérida State. Its name, which translates as "Bread of Sugar", is due to the sandy slopes of the mountain, which resembles "Pan dulce", a kind of bread sprinkled with sugar eaten in the country. The summit offers a scenic view, including Lake Maracaibo, Sierra Nevada de Mérida and the surrounding mountains of the Sierra de la Culata.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>Pico Pan de Azúcar is located 27.7 kilometers to the Northeast of Mérida, Mérida, the capital city of the state. The mountain, along with other mountains surrounds a high altitude valley around 4300 meters above sea level, which is the birth of the Mucujún river</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The first ascent, made by the German explorer Wilhem Sievers, dates from 1885. In 1910, Alfredo Jahn, an engineer working as leader of an Expedition commissioned for surveying the western of Venezuela, climbed the mountain, however, Jahn named the mountain "Tucaní" and on the other hand named "Pan de Azúcar" another neighbor mountain now known as Pan de Sal.</p><br>
<h2>Climbing</h2><br>
<p>Pan de Azúcar is one of the most climbed mountains in the Mérida state, due to its accessibility and fast approximation. It is best climbed during the dry season, from October to March. The principal access is through the "La Culata" settlement. The normal route is through the South ridge.</p><br>
<p>The Huddleston Farmhouse Inn in Mount Auburn, Indiana, is a historic inn that once served travelers along the National Road. It was owned by former-Quaker John Huddleston who, with his wife Susannah, and 11 children, offered lodging, cooking materials, and a place for their horses to rest for the night.</p><br>
<p>The house is three stories high, using 125,000 bricks. The property consists of 78 acre. On the land includes the main house, spring kitchen, smoke house, and two barns. Some recents research on the property suggests that there may have been another building built on the property as well by the Huddlestons.</p><br>
<p>The main house is three stories. Before renovations the basement consisted of three separated rooms that could only be entered from outside. Two of the rooms were lodging for guests. The middle room was John&#39;s shop where he would sell items to travelers passing through. On the middle level there is a kitchen, a family room, a dining room, and a formal parlor. The third floor was where the bedrooms would have been.</p><br>
<p>The property was purchased by Indiana Landmarks in 1966 with funds provided by the organization&#39;s founder, Eli Lilly. The house, barn, and other outbuildings have been restored and serve as combination museum and eastern regional office of Indiana Landmarks. It is open to the public for tours and special events including hearth suppers with food of the period cooked in the fireplace.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.</p><br>
<p>Smiths Castle, built in 1678, is a house museum at 55 Richard Smith Drive, near Wickford, a village in North Kingstown, Rhode Island, United States. Smiths Castle is one of the oldest houses in the state. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1993 as Cocumscussoc Archeological Site, due to the artifacts and information digs in the vicinity have yielded. It is located just off USA 1.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Smiths Castle was built in 1678 as a replacement for an earlier structure which was destroyed by the Narragansett Tribe during King Philips War. The land on which the house was built was known as Cocumscussoc (or Cocumscossoc) and was the original site of Roger Williams&#39; trading post. Williams was the founder of Rhode Island and a prominent Baptist theologian. He built the trading post on the site in 1637 to trade with the Narragansetts after receiving the land from the tribe. Eventually, Williams sold the trading post to Richard Smith to finance his trip to Great Britain to secure a charter for Rhode Island.</p><br>
<p>Smith bought the trading post and surrounding lands from Williams and constructed a large house which was fortified, giving the house its nickname as a castle. His son Richard Smith Jr. inherited the plantation in 1666 and invited militias from Massachusetts and Connecticut to use the property during King Philips War. The house was burned in retaliation for the Great Swamp Fight, and the present structure was built in its place, originally as a saltbox house, and later modified into its current form. Approximately 40 soldiers were buried on the property during King Philips War. Additionally, the only incident of an individual being hanged, drawn, and quartered for treason on American soil took place at Smith&#39;s Castle in 1676. Joshua Tefft was an English colonist found guilty of having fought on the side of the Narragansetts during the Great Swamp Fight; he was executed by this method.</p><br>
<p>Eventually, the property was transferred to the Updike, Congdon, and Fox families. It was the site of a large dairy farm into the twentieth century until it became a museum. In the early twentieth century, preservationists Norman Isham and John Hutchins Cady stabilized the house and performed several minor restorations.</p><br>
<p>The Māori name Mōtu means cut off, isolated. This refers to the district around the headwaters, which since ancient times has been considered to be in the middle of nowhere because of the thickness of the forests which surrounded it.</p><br>
<p>The river passes through mostly uninhabited hill country, very steep and still thickly covered in rainforest. It is much used for adventure tourism (jet-boating and white-water rafting). The first modern traverse of the river, from the Motu Falls to its mouth, was in 1920 by the Fisher brothers and S. Thorburn, and this was re-enacted in 2013 by Kevin Biggar and Jamie Fitzgerald in series 2 of the "First Crossings" TV series.</p><br>
<p>A mid-20th century proposal to dam the river for hydroelectricity was rejected.</p><br>
<p>Lake Canobolas is a man-made reservoir located near Orange, in the central west region of New South Wales, Australia. Completed in the early 1900s, between 1918 and 1957 the lake supplied water to Orange and since the 1970s has been used for recreation purposes.</p><br>
<h2>Location and features</h2><br>
<p>Lake Canobolas, formerly known as Meadow Creek Dam across the Molong Creek, below Mount Canobolas, an extinct volcano and one of the highest peaks between the Blue Mountains and Perth. Between 1918 and 1957, the dam was managed by Canobolas Shire Council and used for water supply to the town of Orange. Since that time the administration of the area surrounding Lake Canobolas and the dam were taken over by the Orange City Council and were developed for recreational purposes. The area of 103 hectare now comprises the lake, an earth sanctuary, a nature reserve, and a Scout Camp and lies within the Cabonne Shire.</p><br>
<p>Since 1962, the main water supply for Orange is sourced from Suma Park Dam on the eastern side of Orange.</p><br>
<p>The name of the lake is derived from the Aboriginal words coona, meaning shoulder and booloo meaning two. It was used by the Wiradjuri to refer to the twin peaks, now known as Old Man Canobolas and Young Man Canobolas.</p><br>
<p>The Lake is regularly used by Colour City Dragons and Pinnacle Paddlers- dragon boat clubs. The area is also used by the Orange Triathlon Club and Goldseekers Orienteering Club for Park foot orienteering.</p><br>
<p>The Albert H. Sears House, also known as "Robin&#39;s Nest," is a house in the USA city of Plano, Illinois. It is an example of Queen Anne style architecture in the United States. The house was constructed in 1881 for prominent Plano businessman Albert H. Sears. The home sits on nearly two acres of forested land and is considered a good example of Queen Anne style and the elegance surrounding that era. The building was listed on the USA National Register of Historic Places on January 29, 1987.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Albert H. Sears was born just north of Plano, Illinois on May 14, 1856. His father was a surveyor and one of the first residents of Kendall County. Sears attended Plano High School and the Aurora Seminary. After graduating in 1877, he took a job as the head of shipping for the Deering Harvester Company. A year later, he became a traveling salesman for the burgeoning company. When the company moved to North Chicago, founder William Deering moved to Evanston. He then sold his newly completed house to Albert Sears.</p><br>
<p>Sears remained in Plano and co-founded the Plano Manufacturing Company, using the former Deering plant. The company manufactured farm implements and employed 70 people. Sears was on the board of directors and was General Superintendent of the plant until 1883. Starting in 1883, Sears ran the Sears Bank. The Plano Manufacturing Company moved to West Pullman in 1894. Sears again stayed in Plano and again purchased the former Deering plant. Sears opened it the next year as the Sears Manufacturing Works, producing farm implements. It was sold to the Independent Harvester Company in 1910. Sears died in his home on April 2, 1917.</p><br>
<p>Gulbrandsen Lake is a lake 0.5 mi long lying north of Neumayer Glacier in South Georgia. It is now an empty basin; the moraine and or ice dam formed by the Neumeyer Glacier no longer contains this lake. It was charted and named "White City" by the British expedition under Ernest Shackleton, 1921–22, but this name is considered unsuitable and has never been used locally. Gulbrandsen Lake was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1957 for Gunnar Gulbrandsen, a pattern-maker at the Compañía Argentina de Pesca station at Grytviken, 1927–30, carpenter at Stromness, 1945–46, and variously carpenter, dock foreman, dockmaster, and junior officer at the South Georgia Whaling Company station, Leith Harbour, for several years beginning in 1946.</p><br>
<p>The Three Brothers  is a group of three mountain peaks at the north west end of the Allardyce Range on South Georgia. They aligned in a north-south direction, situated 4 miles  west of the head of Cumberland West Bay in the central part of South Georgia. The origin of the name which dates back to the 1930s is not certain.</p><br>
<p>On 25 January 2001, Caradog Jones made the first ascent, solo, of the highest of the Three Brothers peaks This was part of a combined climbing and filming expedition, which resulted in five 30 minute programmes. Recorded in Welsh, and entitled Haf Ganol Gaeaf (Summer Midst Winter), it was broadcast with English subtitles. The series included :</p><br>

<p>The James K. Polk Ancestral Home is a historic house museum at 301 West 7th Street in Columbia, Tennessee. Built in 1816, it is the only surviving private residence of United States President James K. Polk. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1961, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is open daily except select holidays for guided tours.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The James K. Polk House is located just west of the commercial central downtown area of Columbia, at the southwest corner of West 7th and South High Streets. It is an L-shaped brick building, two stories in height, with a gabled roof. The front facade, facing West 7th Street, is three bays wide, with the main entrance in the rightmost bay, recessed in a segmented-arch opening. The door is flanked by sidelight windows and topped by a semi-oval transom window with tracery, and the interior walls of the recess are paneled. The other bays house windows, which are topped by lintels of brick and a stone keystone. The interior retains finishes period to its construction, but has otherwise been adapted for museum displays. The property includes a reproduction of the kitchen outbuilding that would have been present during Polk&#39;s residency; none of the outbuildings from his time survive.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1816 by Samuel Polk, and was the home of his son, USA President James K. Polk, for several years as a young adult. It is the only surviving private residence associated with President Polk to survive. James lived in the house until 1819, when he left to read law in Nashville, and for a time after his return to Columbia, where he opened his law practice. The house remained in the Polk family for many years, and passed through several owners before its acquisition by the state of Tennessee in 1929. The museum is operated by the James K. Polk Association. The fountain on the site was moved here in 1893 after Polk Place, the president&#39;s later home, was demolished.</p><br>
<p>On March 27, 2017, the Tennessee Senate voted 20-6 to relocate the remains of President Polk and his wife Sarah Childress Polk from the Tennessee State Capitol in Nashville to the house.</p><br>
<p>Caramoor Center for Music and the Arts is a former estate near Katonah, New York United States, approximately 50 miles  north of New York City. Today it serves as a live music venue for symphonic, opera, chamber, American roots, and jazz, performances. The estate and its historic home are legacies of their original owners, Walter and Lucie Rosen. The Caramoor Summer Music Festival is held there every summer. It also runs educational programs, and can be rented for events such as weddings.</p><br>
<p>The Rosens built the estate and Tuscan-style villa gradually during the 1930s, importing many architectural and decorative items from Europe. The informal musical performances they hosted evolved into the beginning of Caramoor&#39;s current offerings in 1945, and their collection of Renaissance-era and Chinese artworks, some rare, is on display throughout the estate. Lucie Rosen later donated it to the private organization that runs it today. In 2001 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Buildings and grounds</h2><br>
<p>Caramoor is an 81 acre parcel on Girdle Ridge Road just east of the NY 22 state highway east of the hamlet of Katonah in the Town of Bedford. The area is primarily residential, with houses on similarly large lots amidst wooded, gently rolling terrain. The John Jay Homestead State Historic Site, a National Historic Landmark, is a short distance to the northwest along Route 22.</p><br>
<p>The Caramoor estate became a center for the arts and music following the World War II death of the son of its owners, Walter and Lucie Rosen. The couple donated the property in their son&#39;s memory, and it quickly became an established summer festival. There are 12 total contributing resources on the estate—seven buildings, one site, and four structures. An additional building, the Venetian Theater, was built after the estate became the performing arts center. It is too modern to be considered contributing.</p><br>
<h3>Rosen House</h3><br>
<p>A curving driveway leads past modest stone entrance posts and through an electric entrance gate at a high deer fence through Caramoor&#39;s wooded perimeter into a central cleared area, dominated by the Rosen House on a slight rise to the south. A branch leads to other outbuildings.</p><br>
<p>The Rosen House is a stucco building rising two stories a poured concrete foundation with a red tiled roof in a variety of asymmetrical gable and hip configurations and irregular fenestration. A high curved wall at the southwest corner connects to the servants quarters in that direction. A terrace with stone balustrade extends from the dining room on the east; another terrace is located off the master bedroom on the southeast. The caretakers apartment, its small yard surrounded by a high wooden fence, is located at the southwest corner. A south wing, built after the Rosens&#39; deaths to house rooms from their apartment in New York is non-contributing.</p><br>
<p>At the center is the Spanish Courtyard, surrounded by a cloister with 12th-century Byzantine columns, reached by a large stone arched entryway in the center of the south wall. The cloister, a one-story colonnaded open walkway, to allow the courtyard&#39;s use as the primary entrance to the house. In the center is a large fountain; a clock is on the second story near the main gate.</p><br>
<p>Rooms are mostly entered from the courtyard or narrow hallways along the exterior walls. Most are finished in the style of the house, with stucco walls and coved ceilings. Much of the furniture and decoration, sometimes comprising entire rooms, was brought by the Rosens from England, France, Italy and Spain. The second floor, less extensively decorated and primarily bedroom space, is also mostly original. The basement, under the kitchen wing, has storage space and a garage.</p><br>
<p>Among the rooms with notable furnishings and decor are the Burgundian Library. It has a vaulted blue ceiling decorated with 13 Biblical scenes, and 65 other paintings on the doors and walls. The Cabinet Room has lacquered panels originally created for the Palazzo Riccasoli in Turin during the 18th century.</p><br>
<p>Chinese wallpaper made for the European market in the 18th century decorates the dining room, complemented by one of the only two eight-fold Chinese jade folding screens in the world, a Qing Dynasty work depicting the Taoist Hills of Immortality in 40 panels with a gilded teak frame. Around the table are red lacquered chairs made by an English cabinetmaker for a Spanish castle. More Chinese wallpaper is found in the Reception Room, with furniture from a Venetian dress shop. In the master bedroom is a gilded bed that once belonged to Cardinal Maffeo Barberini, later Pope Urban VIII.</p><br>
<p>The largest room, the Music Room, is located at the north end. It is 40 by with a 30 ft ceiling. Originally the living room, the furniture has been moved to the west side and removable seating installed on movable risers. A large stage is located at the west end. It seats 172 and is used for music year-round. Its art includes a 16th-century Florentine cassapanca, an extensive collection of Urbino majolica, a 13th-century head of Guan Yin, a Lucas Cranach the Elder painting and tin-enameled terra cotta reliefs from the studio of Andrea della Robbia.</p><br>
<h3>Outbuildings and gardens</h3><br>
<p>Attached to the Rosen House via a connecting wall is the servants quarters. Architecturally similar, the two-story building has its own entrance to the courtyard, and serves today as the Caramoor Centers offices.</p><br>
<p>The second-largest building on the property is the Venetian Theater, along the main entrance drive. It was added in the late 1950s expressly as an additional music venue by enclosing a brick stage already in the garden with a colonnade. A large tent roof is in place to shelter the audience, and a restroom wing similar to the Rosen House projects from the west end. It seats 1,546 and is the principal venue for musical performances.</p><br>
<p>Near it is the Sunken Garden, a holdover from the estate owner who preceded the Rosens. It was planted around 1912, making it the oldest feature of the estate native to it. It is enclosed by stucco walls on three sides, with stairs and intersecting walkways leading to its flower beds. The large planted "Medieval Mount" at the rear has built-in concrete benches.</p><br>
<p>The Venetian Circle on the east of the garden is framed by a pair of 17th-century Swiss gates. They are topped with Pegasus heads sculpted by Malvina Hoffman. Two paths lead to and through other gardens. From the Juliet Gate, manufactured in 17th-century Italy, the Cedar Walk leads 300 ft path through the high eastern and western cedars of the Woodland Garden to the Italian Pavilion, formerly the viewing area for a nearby tennis court, now bricked over. The Butterfly Garden there, based on a Filippo Brunelleschi design, features plants that support all stages of butterfly development. Nearby is the Cutting Garden, just outside the greenhouse and cottage, where Caramoors horticultural staff cultivates cut flowers for planting. A longer wooded path leads through the Theater Gardens tall trees to a large Victorian urn.</p><br>
<p>A former dovecote, moved from the Spanish Courtyard to a location south of the house, has been converted into a fountain. It now serves as the center of the Sense Circle, designed to be enjoyed by the visually impaired. The fountain makes pleasant sounds, and the plants around it appeal to the other three senses, with some even being edible.</p><br>
<p>Other outbuildings around the property include a stable, two cottages, accompanying garages and a storage shed. All are contributing, dating to the 1930s, and are architecturally similar to the Rosen House. The landscaping is included in the Register listing as well.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>A native of Berlin, Walter Rosen emigrated to the United States with his parents in 1885, at the age of 10. He was well-educated, developing an early interest in music and art, and graduated from Harvard three years after entering it at a young age. Three years later, he became one of the founding partners of the law firm of Underwood, Van Vorst, Rosen and Hoyt. After another three years, in 1901, he left to join a client, the Ladenburg Thalmann bank.</p><br>
<p>He remained there for the rest of his life. In 1914 he married Lucie Bigelow Dodge, a woman who had grown up in an affluent New Jersey family and shared his passion for music and art. On vacations and business trips to Europe, they collected many of the artworks that are now at Caramoor.</p><br>
<p>They bought the property in 1928. John Hoyt, one of Walter Rosens former law partners, knew they were looking for a country retreat and told them about his mothers estate, named Caramoor as a contraction of her name, Caroline Moore Hoyt. The Rosens visited and were greatly taken by the Sunken Garden and its cedars, meant to imitate the cypresses of Italy.</p><br>
<p>Originally, the Rosens intended to tear down all but the garden and build a Florentine-style palazzo. The Depression forced them to reconsider those plans, and instead they slowly remodeled the existing farm buildings on the site into the current estate, which at one point was 117 acre. By 1939 that work was complete. Architect Christian Rosborg is credited with the design, closely supervised by the Rosens, whose townhouse on Manhattan&#39;s East Side had been redone in a French Renaissance style before they moved in.</p><br>
<p>In 1940 they began hosting musical performances for their friends in the Music Room. Four years later, when their only son Walter died in World War II while serving in the Royal Canadian Air Force, they decided to dedicate the remainder of their own lives to preserving Caramoor&#39;s musical legacy. They established the Center in 1946 and began hosting performances open to the public.</p><br>
<p>Seven years after Walter Rosen died in 1951, the performances had become so popular it became necessary to add the third venue, the Venetian Theater, near the Sunken Garden the Rosens had preserved from the prior estate. The house was opened to public tours in 1970, two years after Lucie Rosen died. Architect Mott B. Schmidt designed a new wing in 1974 to house rooms from the Rosens&#39; New York City apartment and expand the art collection on display.</p><br>
<p>The tent roof and floor were added to the Venetian Theater later to allow its use in inclement weather. The restroom wing was added later. The Sense Circle was created after the dovecote was moved to its following pigeon problems in the late 1980s. There have been few significant changes to the buildings and gardens other than those.</p><br>
<h2>Programs</h2><br>
<p>Caramoors offerings are primarily classical (the Orchestra of St. Lukes has been in residence there since 1979) and operatic. During the Caramoor Summer Music Festival, on Thursdays through Sundays from June to August, jazz, bluegrass and popular artists have performed as well. Concerts continue year-round presented in the Music Room. (Lucie Rosen, an enthusiast of the theremin, was an accomplished performer on it herself, and she and her husband were for a time Theremins patrons. The centers collection includes some of her instruments, including a highly advanced one Theremin gave her shortly before leaving the USA in 1938).</p><br>
<p>Caramoor also has extensive educational programs. Since 1986, an average of 5,000 students have in some way been involved through these education efforts. They range from programs for schoolchildren that, in addition to music, introduce them to Renaissance culture and Chinese art. Programs for musicians include mentoring from distinguished artists and the Ernst Stiefel String Quartet-in-Residence.</p><br>
<p>Picnic lunches are available for visitors who wish to wander the grounds before a performance. The facilities can be rented out for events such as corporate retreats and photo shoots; weddings are a particularly popular use, with The Knot having chosen Caramoor as one of its favorite places for the ceremony and reception.</p><br>
<p>Chakragil  is a major mountain in Xinjiang, China. It is located about 100 km southwest of Kashgar, about 60 km due north of Muztagh Ata, and 37 km northwest of Kongur Tagh. It is in the subrange known as the Kingata Shan, generally included in the "Eastern Pamirs" as it  are separated by the major Yarkand River valley from the extreme northwest end of the Kunlun Mountains, near the Pamir Mountains. The Gez River flows just south of the mountain.</p><br>
<p>Due to its remote location, Chakragil is a little-visited peak. It was attempted by the noted mountaineering pair Eric Shipton and Bill Tilman in September, 1948. However they only reached a height of about 5,200 m. On September1, 1988, Japanese leader Misao Hirano, together with Minoru Hachisu and Kenji Nakayama, made the first ascent of the mountain. The lists no other ascents or attempts.</p><br>
<p>Names of peaks and ranges in this area are often uncertain. Chakragil is one of the peaks in the Kingata Shan, but it is unclear which of these peaks it should be identified with. For the purposes of this article (in particular the topographic prominence value), it is treated as identical with Kingata Tagh, the highest peak of the Kingata Shan. If this identification is incorrect (in particular, Chakragil may actually be Kingata Tagh II), it is unclear what peak(s) were climbed in 1988 and 2001, and it further uncertain as to whether Kingata Tagh has been climbed. A map of Central Asia published by Map Link shows a 6,760 m mountain north of the Gez river which it calls Karabekter Tagh. It shows Chakragil as a small lake to the southwest. The mountain is just north of the Karakorum Highway.</p><br>
<p>Snow Mountain is a mountain located in Oxford County, Maine, about 4 mi south of the Canada–United States border with Québec. The mountain is sometimes called "Cupsuptic Snow", to distinguish it from another "Snow Mountain" about 10 mi to the northeast. Snow Mountain is flanked to the north by Kennebago Divide Mountain, and to the south by Twin Mountains and West Kennebago Mountain.</p><br>
<p>Snow Mountain stands within the watershed of the upper Androscoggin River, which drains into Merrymeeting Bay, the estuary of the Kennebec River, and then into the Gulf of Maine. The west end of Snow Mtn. drains into Snow Mountain Brook, then into the Cupsuptic River, Cupsuptic Lake, through a series of lakes into the Rapid River and Umbagog Lake, the source of the Androscoggin River. The south side of Snow Mtn. drains into the East Branch of the Cupsuptic River. The northeast and northwest sides of Snow Mtn. drain into Wiggle Brook, then into the Kennebago River and Cupsuptic Lake.</p><br>
<p>The Hinds House is a historic building in Santa Cruz, California. It was built in 1888 and 1889 by Alfred J. Hinds and his wife Sarah. Its Victorian style has been preserved and it is the largest surviving Stick-Eastlake house in Santa Cruz County. Today the Hinds House is a historical inn with rooms rented out to guests visiting or relocating to Santa Cruz.</p><br>
<h2>Colonel Alfred J. Hinds and family</h2><br>
<p>Alfred Joseph Hinds was born in 1845 in Chester, England. In 1848 his family moved to France and then the United States, eventually living in Iowa. During the California Gold Rush in 1850 they moved to San Francisco, although his mother died on the trip. In 1852 they moved to Santa Cruz, where he started school. In 1866 he opened a book and stationery shop in downtown Santa Cruz. On June 8, 1869 he married Sarah Lee Howe from San Mateo, California.</p><br>
<p>His sister Amelia Hinds married Duncan McPherson, publisher of the local newspaper Santa Cruz Sentinel.</p><br>
<p>In 1875 Hind started to develop real estate in the city of Santa Cruz. He would buy up large tracts of land on the edges of town and subdivide and sell them. He was the secretary and trustee of the First Congregational Church since 1875 and one of the first trustees of the Santa Cruz Public Library.</p><br>
<p>He was active in the California Republican Party and helped organize the Avalon Lodge number 89 of the Knights of Pythias. In 1888 he was appointed "Colonel" in the Knights, and he became known by that title. He was also active in other fraternal orders.</p><br>
<p>Alfred Hinds and his wife Sarah had four children who were all lost when a diphtheria epidemic swept Santa Cruz in 1876. They started a new family and at least three children survived.</p><br>
<p>Sons included Leland Foye Hind, Wendell McPherson Hind, and Theron Winfred Hind.</p><br>
<p>Hinds died in 1921 at age seventy six.</p><br>
<h2>Construction of the Hinds House</h2><br>
<p>Hinds hired Santa Cruz architect John H. Williams to design the house, which was constructed in 1888 and 1889. Williams designed over sixty local buildings between 1876 and 1892. Williams was known for his Stick-Eastlake style, a popular style of Victorian architecture.</p><br>
<p>In the 1890s, one of the first electric lights in Santa Cruz was installed in the house. Electricity came from Fred Swanton&#39;s new power plant fifteen miles up the coast from Santa Cruz in Davenport, California. The fixture was put in at the base of the grand stairway, where it remains in use today.</p><br>
<h2>The House after the Hinds</h2><br>
<p>After Alfred&#39;s death, his children and grandchildren eventually moved away and nobody lived in the home. In 1930 the house was bought by two female school teachers. They operated the house and rented out rooms to guests until 1960. Between 1960 and 1980 the house continued to function as an inn under the ownership of two more people. The interiors of the house were also fixed up in this time, including the renovation of the sitting room and parlor on the first floor as apartments. In 1981, Sandra and Stan Mock bought the house and restored it to its original Stick-Eastlake style, restored the original common rooms, making it an example of the Victorian influence in Santa Cruz. In 2004 Brion Sprinsock and Kristine Albrecht purchased the property and operate the Hinds Victorian Guest House offering weekly lodging in downtown Santa Cruz.</p><br>
<h2>Recognition</h2><br>
<p>In 1982, the Santa Cruz Historical Society designated the Hinds House a historic landmark. On August 25, 1983 the house was put on the National Register of Historic Places listings in Santa Cruz County, California by the United States Department of the Interior.</p><br>
<h2>Today</h2><br>
<p>The Hinds House has been a historic bed and breakfast inn since 1982 and today it is the best example of William&#39;s Stick-Eastlake style buildings in Santa Cruz County. The current innkeeper of the Hinds House is Brion Sprinsock, and the house has ten rooms for guests, including the attic. The ground floor has common rooms, including the dining room, the sitting room, and the parlor. The original woodwork throughout the house is intact and polished. Outside, to either side of the house, there is a large Norfolk Pine and a 125 ft Coastal Redwood. Rooms are rented by the week. The largest percentages of guests (33%) are visiting the University of California, Santa Cruz. The Hinds House is near the center of downtown Santa Cruz at 529 Chestnut Street.</p><br>
<p>The Noble–Seymour–Crippen House is a mansion located at 5624 North Newark Avenue in Chicago&#39;s Norwood Park community area. Its southern wing, built in 1833, is widely considered the oldest existing building in Chicago.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The southern wing of the house was originally used as a farmhouse by Mark Noble, Sr., an English immigrant. The frame structure was approximately 25 x and the main entrance was in the center of the south-facing end, facing Talcott Road. It was built with white pine on a brick foundation. The center of the building featured a fireplace and there was probably a basement.A window was found on each side of the main door; there were probably also two windows along each of the long sides.</p><br>
<p>In 1868, Thomas Hartley Seymour of the Chicago Board of Trade purchased the house and surrounding land. He immediately added an Italianate style northern wing to accommodate his large family and servants. He also raised the roof on the older section, the south wing, to build a second floor. This also allowed for the implementation of round, arched windows. A small, wood frame summer kitchen was added to the south gable of the south wing. The family used the first floor of the former Noble house as a large dining room and they used the second floor as servants&#39; quarters. To ensure architectural harmony with the newer section, a frieze was added to this wing below the roof.</p><br>
<p>The Italianate addition has a typical floor plan for the era. A side entry hall with a stairway opens to a parlor, library, and dining room (the latter being the former Noble house). The second floor was used for bedrooms with a connecting door to the servants&#39; quarters. In the 1890s, Seymour built a wood porch stretching from the south wing entrance to the Italianate entrance. Porticoes were installed over each door.</p><br>
<p>The Seymour family lived at the site until 1916, when they sold it to Stuart and Charlotte Allen Crippen, a concert pianist and an actress. During the 1920s, the Crippens installed indoor plumbing and electricity and added a second stairway to the Noble wing. The Crippen children and grandchildren sold the building to the Norwood Park Historical Society in 1987.</p><br>
<p>The Noble–Seymour–Crippen House received Chicago Landmark status on May 11, 1988. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 10, 2000.</p><br>
<p>Since 1998, the building has served the Norwood Park Historical Society Museum and community center.</p><br>
<p>The Caffaro is a 25 km river of northern Italy whose course lies within the Province of Brescia, sometimes forming the border with Trentino. It belongs to the basin of Lago d&#39;Idro.</p><br>
<p>Its source is on Cornone di Blumone, a peak in the Rhaetian Alps, near the Passo del Termine within the commune of Breno, in the Parco regionale dellAdamello regional park. The river then runs through the Val di Caffaro entering the territory of Bagolino and flows into the Chiese just before the latter enters lago dIdro at Ponte Caffaro.</p><br>
<p>The Caffaro’s principal affuents are the Riccomassimo, the Rio Frèi, the Dazare, the Bruffione, the Lajone, the Sanguinera, the Vaia, the Dasdanè, the Racigande, the Berga and the Leprazzo.</p><br>
<p>The river provides a significant source for the production of hydropower.</p><br>

<p>The Hautza or Autza, is a mountain on the Spanish side of the border in the Basque Country. It is located between Elizondo in Baztan  and Saint-Étienne-de-Baïgorry .</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The Hautza is the highest point on the watershed between the Baztan and the Aldude Valley (respectively the Bidasoa and Nive basins). The layout of the border avoids the summit which is located in Spain. The most common and practicable route starts at the Izpegi Pass, where the customs used to be (there is an inn and souvenir shop now). A hiking circular route can be followed with clearly signed route marks, while the walk is demanding and quite long (approx. return time 5h00).</p><br>
<h2>Etymology</h2><br>
<p>Its name is based on a local oronym: Hautz.</p><br>

<p>The Branciforte Adobe, also known as the Craig-Lorenzana Adobe, is the only remaining dwelling from the Villa de Branciforte, the settlement that was established in 1797 at the time of the Mission Santa Cruz.</p><br>
<p>The only remains from the settlement of the Villa de Branciforte is the two room Craig-Lorenzana Adobe which stands on the corner of Branciforte and Goss Avenues in Santa Cruz. It is the oldest single-family dwelling in Santa Cruz.</p><br>
<h2>Description of structure</h2><br>
<p>The Branciforte Adobe has 2 ft adobe mud plastered walls which are still remaining, a tile roof classic to the Spanish era later changed to redwood shake, and a veranda on the front rebuilt in the 1980s. The original adobe structure surviving from the Villa de Branciforte was one large rectangular room with two covered corridors (porches) on both length wise sides of the house. The rear corridor ended adjacent to the fire pit and cooking area.</p><br>
<p>Over the years the house was modified many times; the most significant modifications were done by Jose Lorenzana in 1848. Lorenzana partitioned a small bedroom from the main room so that he and his wife could sleep separately from their reported 21 children. He "fancied up" the house adding doors, hinges, wallpaper and molding. Jose Lorenzana lived in the house until his death in 1863 ending the reign of Spanish inhabitants.</p><br>
<p>In the early 1870s Andrew Craig lived in the house. He became the district attorney and opened a law school in it. Craig was followed by the Winchester family who covered the adobe walls with Redwood. After the Winchester family two men, Jim Hawley and Jim Hammond, resided in the Branciforte Adobe. They rebuilt the exterior and porch, and altered the roof to a redwood shake one.</p><br>
<h2>Restoration</h2><br>
<p>The house was then bought in the 1980s by Edna and Joe Kimbro who continued the restoration by stripping chicken wire and plaster from the exterior and restored the original adobe. This gave her the opportunity to examine the adobe and the wooden pieces used in the construction. At this point they added two additional bedrooms and two functional bathrooms. Edna Kimbro became very interested in preserving examples of early California History. She sold the Branciforte Adobe and moved on to restore the Castro Adobe, a two story adobe in the Watsonville area which was built in the mid-19th century.</p><br>
<p>Edna Kimbro&#39;s work on the Branciforte Adobe was a very deliberate and detailed restoration which yielded information compatible with other classic adobe structures as well as revealing other unique characteristics. The Branciforte Adobe remains a private residence.</p><br>
<p>The Christopher Erb House is a stone house finished in 1799. It stands in Silver Run under a Westminster, MD zip code . It is on a 38 acre property, split in two, and borders on Big Pipe Creek. The house has experienced two small fires, multiple hits from Black Locust trees in Hurricane Isabel, and detrimental building practices inside and outside the stone walls. The house is historically significant as an example of Pennsylvania German architecture and it reflects the influence of Pennsylvania Germans in Carroll County.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>The main house, finished in 1799 as evident by the date stone in the western gable, was constructed as a two family german style house. However, the exterior is in the Georgian style, with the southern elevation symmetrical and minimal decorative elements at the doorway. The southern elevation, the original front of the building, has more cut stone, although most of the house is constructed of field stone. Further down the slope of the knoll the main house sits on is a two story spring house, the original house on the property. This is constructed as a traditional german colonial house, with a spring room and kitchen room on the bottom level. This house is listed in the 1760 tax records, and is assumed to be constructed between 1755 and 1760.</p><br>
<p>The New York State Inebriate Asylum, later known as Binghamton State Hospital, was the first institution designed and constructed to treat alcoholism as a mental disorder. Located in Binghamton, NY, its imposing Gothic Revival exterior was designed by New York architect Isaac G. Perry and construction was completed in 1864. In 1993 the main building was closed due to safety concerns. The asylum appears on both the state and national lists of Historic Places, but it is currently in a state of disrepair and is one of the most endangered historical places in the nation, according to the National Trust for Historic Preservation.</p><br>
<p>The building was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1997. It is located at 425 Robinson Street, in Binghamton, New York and is owned by Upstate Medical University, Clinical Campus. The 1858 asylum is currently under phase 1 renovation, funded by 12.45 million dollars provided by the New York State Legislature. A Binghamton Clinical Campus Expansion Campaign Fund 04550 exists for Phase 2 renovation to serve as headquarters for the Binghamton Clinical Campus and physician assistant program. In 2015, Binghamton University announced it had taken stewardship of the building and will proceed with plans for rehabilitation of the building.</p><br>
<p>The Riverside Historic District is a USA historic district located in downtown Evansville, Indiana. It was added to the register in 1978 and roughly bounded by Southlane Drive, Walnut, Third, and Parrett Streets. It consists of 1,010 acre and 425 buildings. It is also known as the Riverside Neighborhood.</p><br>
<p>Located in the heart of the historic district is the Reitz Home Museum. It was built in 1871 and is noted as one of the finest examples of French Second Empire architecture in the United States. Other notable buildings are in the Italianate, Colonial Revival, and Renaissance Revival styles and include the Viele-Koch House (1856, c. 1872-1873), John Morford Stockwell House, Garvin House (c. 1860), St. Paul&#39;s Episcopal Church (1885), Nisbet House (1878), Sonntag-Bayard House (1863), Bosse House (1916), Duke House (1892), First Presbyterian Church (1873), Zurstadt House (c. 1853).</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<p>Many Roman villas have been discovered in the district of Boscoreale, Italy. They were all destroyed and preserved by the Eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, along with Pompeii and Herculaneum. The only one visible in situ today is the Villa Regina, others being reburied soon after their discovery. Nevertheless, among the most important finds from others include the exquisite frescoes from the Villa of Publius Fannius Synistor, and the sumptuous silver collection of the Villa della Pisanella which are now visible in several major museums, as are finds from the Villa del fondo Ippolito Zurlo. The name Villa Boscoreale is typically used for any one of these villas.</p><br>
<p>In Roman times this area was agricultural, specialising in wine and olive oil.</p><br>
<p>Other Roman villas discovered in the vicinity often from the end of the 19th century by "treasure" hunters and then reburied, include notably those:</p><br>
<p>in "d&#39;Acunzo property"</p><br>
<p>of N.Popidius Florus, from which frescoes were taken</p><br>
<p>in via Casone Grotta found in 1986</p><br>
<p>of M. Livius Marcellus.</p><br>
<p>Information on, and objects from, the villas can be seen in the nearby Antiquarium di Boscoreale.</p><br>
<h2>Villa Regina</h2><br>
<p>This rustic villa was discovered more recently in 1977 and therefore has been preserved in its complete state as buried 8m below ground level. The villa is a comfortable working farm rather than a luxurious estate that others nearby were. Nonetheless an elegant central courtyard is colonnaded on three sides with columns of red and white stucco.</p><br>
<p>Large quantities of pottery and farm implements were found. Plaster casts of the original entrance doors were made from the hollow spaces left. A plaster cast of a pig found here and killed in the catastrophe was also made.</p><br>
<p>It also includes preserved parts of a wine press. Near the centre of the villa is the wine cellar in which 18 dolia, of total capacity 10,000 litres, were buried for storing the must from the adjoining press.</p><br>
<p>An unusual find was an oil lamp dating from the 3-5th c. AD showing that the place was tunnelled into in the later Roman era.</p><br>
<p>The holes in the ground left by the roots of the Roman vines were found and vines have again been planted in them.</p><br>
<h2>Villa of P. Fannius Synistor</h2><br>
<p>Although the villa was of relatively modest size compared to others in the area and had no atrium, pool or sculpture collection, its frescoes were exceptional in their beauty and quality.</p><br>
<p>Evidence in tablets and graffiti shows that the house was probably built in the 1st century (around 40-30 BC). The villa was privately discovered, excavated, partially dismantled and reburied in 1900.</p><br>
<p>The villa had three stories, complete with a bath suite and an underground passage to a stable and agricultural buildings, the latter not excavated. The central ground floor of the living quarters consisted of over thirty rooms or enclosures surrounding a colonnaded courtyard or peristyle. The building featured an impressive main entrance approached by five broad steps leading to a colonnaded forecourt.</p><br>
<p>Ownership of the villa has been contested. While there is no doubt P. Fannius Synistor did reside there, excavated bronze tablets show another name, that of Lucius Herennius Florus. Many things were marked with seals in ancient Rome to indicate possession. It is believed that since the tablet with the letters "L. HER. FLO" on the front of it was found inside the villa, it must serve as a mark of villa ownership. These two are the only confirmed owners in the early 1st century BC and 1st century AD, though there may have been earlier owners.</p><br>
<h3>Art</h3><br>
<p>The Villa is most notable for its wonderful works of art, notably its highly skilled buon fresco paintings, said to be the highest quality Roman frescoes ever found and which are now scattered after being auctioned after removal.</p><br>
<p>Most of the figures in the frescoes have characteristics of Greek Hellenism or Classicism. For instance, those found in the living room appear to be depictions of either philosophers, such as Epicurus, Zeno or Menedemus, or possibly old kings, like King Kinyras of Cyprus. Similarly, the bedrooms of the Second Style also evoke Hellenistic qualities, such as are seen at the Tomb of Lyson or at Kallikles. At a time when the Roman Republic was ending and classicism somewhat fading, this is considered as an interesting comment on style and taste. Seemingly, Greek representations in the home were considered acceptable, even admired and sophisticated. The images survived the quick succession of Vesuvian cataclysms because of the skill of the fresco work and the absence of organic materials such as indigo, murex purple, red madder among its pigments. The reddening of some of its yellow ochre shows temperatures to have exceeded 300 °C."</p><br>
<p>The Metropolitan Museum of Art, together with King&#39;s College, London, is building a virtual model of the Villa, linking the scattered frescoes, based on the notes and plan drawn at the time of excavation by archaeologist Felice Barnabei (1902), photographs taken of the excavation, the research of Phyllis W. Lehmann (1953) and axonometric drawings of the plan, locating the images on the walls, by Maxwell Anderson (1987).</p><br>
<h3>Metropolitan Museum cubiculum reconstruction</h3><br>
<p>The fullest reconstruction from original frescoes at present is of a bedroom (cubiculum diurnum), one of the holdings of the Metropolitan Museum since 1903, and since 2007 a feature of the new Roman Gallery. It consists of most of a newly cleaned and reconstructed set of walls entirely painted in highly accomplished fresco. These spacious Roman II Style murals represent their walls as open above socle or dado height, except for the architraves above and a few columns that, together with those other features, frame vividly coloured architectural views of buildings, columns, landscape, garden scenes, religious statues, beyond, emphasizing expansion and grandeur, but including no humans and only a few birds on the short, window wall. This is also the technique in other unreconstructed rooms. For example, In another bedroom, known as Room M, the frescoes depict columns that appear to expand into another room, giving the sense of a much larger, almost unending, space. The facing long walls (19 ft or 5.8 m) of the Metropolitan cubiculum are mirror images of each other, possibly by transfer, with variations. In addition, each is divided into four panels by painted columns.</p><br>
<p>Distance in these paintings is built up through a series of orthogonal architectural surfaces, and indicated by overlap occlusion, foreshortening, diminution, pronounced aerial perspective, but without vanishing points. Modelling is indicated by side-shading with slight, selective cast shadow. Pompeian red in front planes, contrasting with the blue tone of the fainter, further planes, provides an additional effective cue for depth. The room had one, north-facing, outside window, through which pyroclastic flows from Vesuvius appear to have entered. As part of the sophisticated depictive scheme, the dado or lower parts of the walls are depicted as themselves, but in First Style. Ledges and niches there show near objects: "metal and glass vases on shelves and tables appearing to project out from the wall", playfully belying the common impression that perspective is always for depicting recession from the picture plane. In other parts of the Villa there are brightly colored nonfigurative walls, in First Style, some of which are on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Louvre Museum.</p><br>
<h2>Villa della Pisanella</h2><br>
<p>The villa was unearthed over several archaeological seasons, confirming the hypothesis of a villa rustica covering 1000 square metres with clearly defined residential sector and farm buildings.</p><br>
<p>In 1895 the remains of a vaulted box were discovered in the wine-pressing room of the villa. The box contained silver tableware consisting of 102 items and leather bag full of coins to the value of a thousand gold aurei. It is assumed that the objects were intentionally hidden in the storehouse before the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in AD 79. The last owner of the silver set was probably a woman named Maxima – a name written on many of the vessels.</p><br>
<p>Kami-shima is an inhabited island located in Ise Bay off the east coast of central Honshu, Japan. It is administered as part of the city of Toba in Mie Prefecture.</p><br>
<p>The name of Kami-shima has alternative been written with as Kameshima or Kajima; its present form of Kami-shima, or “God island” refers to the Shinto shrine. Yatsushiro Jinja, on the island. Archaeologists have found hundreds of ceremonial artifacts, ranging from ancient mirrors to ceramics dating from the Kofun period through the Muromachi period on the island. During the Edo period, the island was used as a prison by Toba Domain, with the sobriquet “Shima-Hachijo” is reference to the prison island of Hachijō-jima used by the Tokugawa shogunate.</p><br>
<p>The island is the setting for the 1954 novel by Yukio Mishima The Sound of Waves, and has been used several times as a filming location for movies.</p><br>
<p>The economy of the island is based on commercial fishing in its adjacent waters, and on tourism.</p><br>
<p>The Palace Hotel  is a historic public house situated on West Street, Old Market, Bristol. It is a grade II listed building. Its exterior ornamentation includes two Assyrian-style hermai.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Palace Hotel was built in 1869 for the wine and spirits merchant, John Sharp. At that time it was thought that a new Great Western Railway main station was going to be established nearby. For that reason it was to be called the Railway Hotel – but Isambard Kingdom Brunels Bristol Temple Meads railway station was built half a mile south, so trade was less than expected. A smaller Midland Railway terminus, Bristol St Philips railway station, was opened nearby but this was closed in 1953 and subsequently demolished.</p><br>
<p>The bar has a sloping floor.</p><br>
<p>In 2000 Thomas Brooman, co-founder and managing director of World of Music, Arts and Dance took charge of the Palace. He spent much time and money bringing the place up to the high standard for which it is worthy but after 5 years decided it was time to move on. The Palace finally closed its doors in mid-2005 and was sold. The following year the new owner submitted a planning application to change its use to an estate agents office. In August 2008, further applications were pending, with vigorous counter moves to restore it to a pub. In November 2008 it was announced that the owners of the Bristol Bear Bar across the road had bought the lease and, following a period of decoration in which maintenance of the pubs original features was a priority, it is now up and running as a pub. It is currently (as of August 2017) operating as a gay venue, trading as &#39;The Gin Palace.</p><br>
