<p>Prins Karls Forland or Forlandet, occasionally anglicized as Prince Charles Foreland, is an island off the west coast of Oscar II Land on Spitsbergen in the Arctic archipelago of Svalbard, Norway. The entire island and the surrounding sea area constitutes Forlandet National Park .</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The island was first seen by the Dutch explorer Willem Barentsz in 1596. In 1610, the English explorer Jonas Poole named it Black Point Isle. By 1612 the English whalers were referring to the island as Prince Charles Foreland, after King Jamess son, Charles (later king of England and Scotland). The Dutch called it Kijn Island, after a merchant, who, climbing a tall hill in 1612, fell and broke his neck. The English built a temporary whaling station on the island&#39;s northern tip, known to the English as Fair Foreland (today Fuglehuken).</p><br>
<p>Ymer Island  is an island in northeastern Greenland. The island is a part of Northeast Greenland National Park.</p><br>
<p>Ymer Island is named after the giant Ymir, the forefather of the Jotuns in Norse mythology.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The island lies on the southern side of the entrance of Kaiser Franz Joseph Fjord. Ymer Island&#39;s northern half forms a peninsula named Gunnar Anderson Land having its narrow isthmus in the west. The fjord between the two halves of the island is named Dusen Fjord.</p><br>
<p>Ymer Island has an area of 2,437 km². It is mountainous; Angelin Bjerg, its highest peak, reaches a height of 1900 m. The conspicuous Devil&#39;s Castle (Teufelsschloss) is located on the other side of Kaiser Franz Joseph Fjord, off the southern shore of Cape Petersens, the NW extremity of Ymer Island.</p><br>
<p>Arnøya or Arnøy is an island in the municipality of Skjervøy in Troms county, Norway. Its area is 276 km&sup2;. The highest peak is the 1,168 m tall mountain Arnøyhøgda. Arnøya is the 15th largest island in Norway. There are regular ferry connections from Laukøya and Kågen to this island, but there are no road connections to the island. Arnøy Church is located on the southern shore of the island.</p><br>
<p>The villages of Årviksand, Arnøyhamn, Akkarvik, and Lauksletta are located on the island. The island of Laukøya is located just to the east, Skjervøya and Kågen are to the southeast, and Vannøya is to the west. The Ullsfjorden lies to the west, the Lyngen fjord lies to the south, the Kvænangen fjord lies to the east, and the Norwegian Sea lies to the north.</p><br>
<p>The Lyngen Alps south of Arnøya is popular amongst extreme skiers and Arnøya is also becoming a popular skiing destination. Historic photos and information (Norwegian) is presented on the Arnøyhamn home page.</p><br>
<p>The Tacaná Volcano is the second highest peak in Central America at 4,060 m, located in the Sierra Madre de Chiapas of northern Guatemala and southern Mexico. The volcano is also known in Mexico as Volcán Tacina.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The volcano is located within the Tacaná municipality of the San Marcos Department in Guatemala; and within the Cacahoatán and Unión Juárez Municipalities of Chiapas state in Mexico.</p><br>
<p>Its last known eruption was registered in 1986 — a small phreatic eruption in May — but it is still considered as dangerous to more than 250,000 people residing in the area.</p><br>
<p>Tacaná is the first of hundreds of volcanoes in a 1,500 km km row, arranged NW to SE, parallel to the Pacific Ocean coast of Central America, known as the Central America Volcanic Arc, formed by an active subduction zone along the western boundary of the Caribbean Plate.</p><br>
<p>The agricultural valley at its NNE foothills is covered with thick deposits of lahars. From its headwaters in Guatemala, the valley drains through Mexico to the Pacific Ocean. Consequently, mudflows from future eruptions could be dangerous to those in their path in both countries.</p><br>
<h2>Volcanology</h2><br>
<p>Tacaná is a stratovolcano (composite volcano) that is surrounded by deeply dissected plutonic and metamorphic terrain. It has a 9 km wide caldera, with its elongated summit dominated by several lava domes and three large calderas breached to the South.</p><br>
<p>Mild phreatic eruptions of Tacaná took place in historical times. Its most powerful known explosive activity, which included pyroclastic flows, occurred at about 70 AD (± 100 years). That large explosion has resulted in Tacaná being classified with a volcanic explosivity index of 4 by the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History&#39;s Global Volcanism Program.</p><br>
<h2>Biosphere Reserve</h2><br>
<p>Tacaná Volcano is part of the Central American Core volcanic chain, which contains fragile ecosystems and rich biodiversity of cultural, scientific, economic and biological relevance, particularly in the high mountain ecosystem. Its landscapes and volcanic edifice present geophysical features of great scientific and aesthetic value.</p><br>
<p>Consequently, it has been included in UNESCO&#39;s World Network of Biosphere Reserves of the Man and Biosphere Program (MAB).</p><br>
<h2>Visitor access</h2><br>
<p>The summit of Tacaná can be reached in about 10 hours. There are two approaches to the mountain. One is from Finca Navidad, South of the volcano, passing through Tojquián Grande, on the Guatemalan side, and moving parallel to the border with Mexico.</p><br>
<p>The second route is from the Mexican side, from El Carmen, Talismán bridge, Cacahoatán, and Unión Juárez by vehicle, and from there on foot.</p><br>
<p>This route passes into Guatemala and has been described as one of the most interesting hikes in Central America, leading up winding paths through lush rainforests, subsistence farming villages, up ancient magma flows, and rock filled temperate forests before reaching the top of the lowest caldera. From there the final stretch to the summit provides panoramic views high above the clouds as the tree line gradually diminishes with altitude. Several major volcanos within the Central American Volcanic Arch including Tajumulco are visible from the summit.</p><br>
<p>Misool, formerly spelled Mysol , is one of the four major islands in the Raja Ampat Islands in West Papua , Indonesia. Its area is 2,034 km². The highest point is 561 m and the main towns are Waigama, located on the island&#39;s northern coast, and Lilinta.</p><br>
<p>The inhabitants speak the Biga language and Matbat language, as well as Indonesian.</p><br>
<p>Other main islands of this group off the western end of West Papua are Salawati, Batanta and Waigeo, and there are numerous smaller islands such as Kofiau.</p><br>

<p>Lake Olomega is a large lake in the southeastern part of El Salvador.</p><br>
<p>In the past few years Lake Olomega has suffered from an infestation of Water hyacinth which has caused problems for wildlife, fishing, and tourism.</p><br>
<p>Lake Olomega is located next to the town of Olomega (population 4000). The community relies heavily on fishing and ecotourism. The canton Los Riitos has geothermal water and can most easily be reached by boat (as long as the nimfa does not prevent boat travel).</p><br>
<p>For years this natural resource has received the black waters of the settlements to their round, pollution by livestock and fisheries hasn&#39;t been unregulated. With Ramsar status, the Government can make sustainable development in the area, thanks to international support.</p><br>
<p>Olomega is the eastern region of El Salvador&#39;s, largest freshwater body. The site also includes the surrounding vegetation, such as herbaceous swamps and a patch of forest seasonally saturated, known as the Chiriqui and one of the last relics of this type of community in El Salvador</p><br>
<p>The hydrological features of the site include flood control, water purification, and the replenishment of groundwater, serving for more than 9,000 inhabitants of the area.</p><br>
<p>Rich biodiversity</p><br>
<p>An electronic report of the Ramsar Convention details show that the lagoon is home to several endangered species, such as the royal duck, dark ibis, the snail and the tree frog.</p><br>
<p>This wetland, which measures 7,557 hectares, serves as the resting and feeding ground for many migratory birds.</p><br>
<h2>Transportation</h2><br>
<p>Olomega can be reached either by taking a bus directly to the town, although the bus to Olomega does not run often, or by getting off at El Carmen (the pueblo, just off the highway) and waiting for a truck to go to Olomega.</p><br>
<p>Nares Land or Naresland is an island in far northern Greenland. The island is named after Polar explorer Sir George Nares.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The island lies between the Victoria Fjord and the Nordenskjöld Fjord separated from the mainland by a narrow sound. Stephenson Island and John Murray Island lie off its northern end. Nares Land is fairly large, with an area of 1,466 km&sup2; and a shoreline of 192.4 km. It is 75 km long and up to 30 km wide in its widest place. It has an average elevation of 161 m and its highest point is 1,067 m.</p><br>
<p>The area where the island lies has a severe Polar climate and was formerly part of Avannaa, originally Nordgrønland ("North Greenland"), a former county of Greenland until 31 December 2008. The sea around the island is frozen practically the whole year round.</p><br>
<p>Azad Kuh  is one of the highest peaks in the central Alburz Range in Mazandaran province north of Iran. In Persian Kuh means mountain and Azad means free, so Azad Kuh can be translated to The Free Mountain. This name is probably chosen by local people because of Azad Kuh&#39;s cone like shape and the fact that it is not connected to its surrounding peaks.</p><br>
<h2>Climbing Azad Kuh</h2><br>
<p>Azad kuh is not a technical climb and you won&#39;t need any rock climbing gear (Carabiner, Rope...) in summer. There are two routes for climbing this peak, the easier and shorter one is from Kalaak-e-Baalaa village and the longer one is from Vaarange Rud village. The former takes 1–2 days and the latter 2–3 days. There is no shelter in neither route and you need to carry your own tent if you are planning to camp. Azad Kuh is not such an easy climb in the winter as there is the potential danger of avalanche in either route.</p><br>
<p>Hall Island  is an island in Franz Josef Land, Arkhangelsk Oblast, Russia.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>This island was discovered on August 30, 1873, by the Austro-Hungarian North Pole Expedition. It was the first major island of the Franz Josef group on which the expedition members set foot.</p><br>
<p>In 1898-99 a small camp was built at Mys Tegetkhof (Cape Tegethoff, 80&deg;05&prime;N latitude, 58&deg;01&prime;E longitude) by the Walter Wellman expedition. It contains a marker commemorating the discovery of the archipelago. Cape Tegethoff was named after the main ship of the Austro-Hungarian explorers, which had been named in honor of Austrian admiral Wilhelm von Tegetthoff.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Hall Island is almost completely covered by glaciers. Its highest point is 502 m and it is the summit of the Kupol Moskvy (Купол Москвы) ice dome that covers the central part of the island. Besides the ice dome there is a glacier with its terminus in the southern shore, the Sonklar Glacier.</p><br>
<p>The only relatively large areas free of permanent ice are located in its southern end, where there are two headlands, Cape Tegethoff (Mys Tegetkhoff), and also Cape Ozernyy (Mys Ozernyy), on Littrov Peninsula, (Poluostrov Littrova). There is also a very small unglacierized area around its eastern cape, Mys Frankfurt, and another in its northwestern point, Cape Wiggins (Mys Uigginsa).</p><br>
<p>Hall Island&#39;s area is 1,049 km² and it is one of the largest islands in the group. There is a wide bay on the southeastern side of Hall Island known as Hydrographer Bay (Zaliv Gidrografov) and a smaller one west of the Littrov Peninsula called Bukhta Surovaya.</p><br>
<p>Hall Island is located very close to the eastern shores of MacKlintok Island, separated from it by a narrow sound. To the southeast there is a wider strait separating Hall Island from Salm Island known in Russian as Proliv Lavrova. The strait to the east is the large Avstriskiy Proliv.</p><br>
<p>Hall Island was named after American Arctic explorer Charles Francis Hall.</p><br>
<h3>Adjacent minor islands</h3><br>
<p>Right off Hall Islands northern shore lie three small islets called Brown Islands (Ostrova Brounova). They were named in honor of George Brown, of the Royal Navy, who went in the 1850-1854 expedition in search of Sir John Franklin, under the command of Captain R. MClure, on the Investigator.</p><br>
<p>6 km west of Hall islands northwestern cape lies oval-shaped 5 km long Newcomb Island (Остров Нюкомба, Ostrov Nyukomba). Unglacierized. Highest point 67 m. This island was named after, the naval officer in charge of the 1882–84 party searching for the ill-fated DeLong&#39;s expedition on ship Jeannette.</p><br>
<p>1.5 km off the northeastern side of Hall Island&#39;s eastern bay lies small but steep Berghaus Island (Остров Бергхауз, Ostrov Bergkhauz), reaching a height of 372 m. Unglacierized. This island was named after cartographer Heinrich Berghaus (1797-1884).</p><br>
<p>Bellefield Hall is a Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Foundation Historic Landmark and is a contributing property to the Schenley Farms Historic District on the campus of the University of Pittsburgh across Bellefield Avenue from Heinz Memorial Chapel and the lawn of the universitys Cathedral of Learning in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA. A 1924 italianate structure by architect Benno Janssen, it originally served as a Young Mens and Womens Hebrew Association, but now houses rehearsal spaces, classrooms, offices, and a Digital Recording Studio for the University of Pittsburghs Department of Music, as well as a university gymnasium, fitness center, indoor swimming pool, and a 676-seat auditorium.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Bellefield Hall, constructed in 1924, was designed by architect Benno Janssen by combining the facades of the Italianate Palzzo Piccolomini delle Papesse in Siena with the 18th-century Lee House at Stratford in Virginia for the Flemish-bond brick finish and the high basement. Samuel Yellin was contracted to create the lanterns for the main entrance. Bellefield Hall was originally home to the Young Mens and Womens Hebrew Association (Y.M.H.A.), whose patrons included Edgar Kauffman and his family, opened in 1926. Originally, the high profile of its attic hid a flat expanse of roof where Y.M.H.A. patrons could sunbathe in total privacy. It also featured full sports facilities, meeting rooms, and a historic concert hall featuring Spanish stalactite ceiling and Jacobean wall moldings in which a host of music luminaries (including Arthur Rubinstein, Isaac Stern, and Jean-Pierre Rampal) made their Pittsburgh debuts.</p><br>
<p>The building was obtained by the university in a lease-purchase agreement in 1984 and reverted to the full university ownership ten years later. Today, Bellefield Hall is a 110,000 ft&sup2; facility that is home to a variety of University offices and services. For Universitys the Department of Music, it houses rehearsal spaces, classrooms, graduate student offices, and the William R. Robinson Digital Recording Studio. A recently renovated 676-seat auditorium holds many of the Department of Musics recitals and concerts. Bellefield Hall also houses a sports gym, fitness center, and indoor swimming pool. The second floor fitness center was renovated and expanded in 2005. A classroom specifically designed for African-drumming music was constructed in 2008. Bellefield Hall is also home to the Collegiate YMCA at the University of Pittsburgh.</p><br>
<h2>Events</h2><br>
<p>Bellefield Hall has hosted a number of notable events throughout its history, including concerts by the aforementioned musicians. In addition, on April 3, 2008, Republican Presidential candidate Congressman Ron Paul was invited to speak at the University of Pittsburgh. He was the first 2008 presidential candidate to speak on Pitt campus (the second being Barack Obama) during the 2007-2008 academic year and the only Republican candidate to do so.</p><br>
<p>Harper Lake is a dry lake located in the Mojave Desert near the small community of Lockhart in northwestern San Bernardino County of Southern California. The lake is accessible from Harper Lake Road, which runs north off of State Route 58 midway between Boron and Barstow.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Harper Lake contained water and a natural marsh into the early 20th century when agricultural development began to deplete the groundwater that sustained its level. The lake and marsh wetlands attracted large numbers of migrating birds and supported a variety of resident desert wildlife in the oasis habitat. Sustained by a small amount of surface runoff from nearby farms, only the southwest corner of the reduced lake remained marshland. Into the early 1990s, the wildlife was still supported by the remnant habitat.</p><br>
<h3>Decline</h3><br>
<p>The lake became dry and the marsh died in the late 1990s after the alfalfa farm next to the lake shut down and the migrating and resident wildlife dropped. When a new solar power plant was built just to the west of the lake 35.0316&deg; latitude, -117.348&deg; longitude, it needed to pump groundwater to the lake. However, this never occurred because the company that owned the plant went bankrupt. After the bankruptcy was resolved, the concerns of Edwards Air Force Base regarding bird strikes and other bureaucratic issues halted restoration progress.</p><br>
<h3>Restoration</h3><br>
<p>Meanwhile, Luz Solar Partners and NextEra Energy Resources, the new owners of the Solar Energy Generating Systems power plant, delivered water to the lake as requested by the Bureau of Land Management-BLM through an informal agreement. In 2005, a new petition was filed by Friends of Harper Lake with the BLM and California Energy Commission, which approved the amendments to the project. Up to 75 acre.ft of water per year will be managed by the BLM and transferred to the lake as part of the mitigation agreement for solar field expansion.</p><br>
<h2>Other events</h2><br>
<p>On March 25, 2009, an F-22 Raptor crashed on the lakebed, resulting in the death of a Lockheed Martin test pilot.</p><br>
<p>The Savannah Historic District is a large urban USA historic district that roughly corresponds to the city limits of Savannah, Georgia prior to the American Civil War. The area was declared a National Historic Landmark District in 1966, The district was made in recognition of the unique layout of the city, begun by James Oglethorpe at the city&#39;s founding and propagated for over a century of its growth.</p><br>
<p>The plan of the historic portions of Savannah is based on the concept of a ward, as defined by James Oglethorpe. Each ward had a central square, around which were arrayed four trust lots and four tythings. Each trust lot was to be used for a civic purpose, such as a school, government building, church, museum, or other public venue, while the tythings were each subdivided into ten lots for residential use. The wards were oriented in a rectlinear grid with north-south and east-west alignment. In a typical ward, the trust lots were set east and west of the square, and the residential lots of the typthings were extended north and south of the trust lots and the square, each tything divided into two rows of five lots, separated by alleys. In the early years of the Province of Georgia, the ward organization was in part military, with each ward&#39;s inhabitants organized into militia units, and the central squares acting as a gathering point for refugees from outside the city walls.</p><br>
<p>Each year, the Savannah Historic District attracts millions of visitors, who enjoy its eighteenth- and nineteenth-century architecture and green spaces. The district includes the birthplace of Juliette Gordon Low (founder of the Girl Scouts of the United States of America, see Juliette Gordon Low Historic District), the Telfair Academy of Arts and Sciences (one of the South&#39;s first public museums), the First African Baptist Church (the oldest African American Baptist congregation in the United States), Temple Mickve Israel (the third-oldest synagogue in America), the Central of Georgia Railway roundhouse complex (the oldest standing antebellum rail facility in America), the old Colonial Cemetery, Cathedral of St. John the Baptist, and Old Harbor Light.</p><br>
<p>Other buildings in the district include the Isaiah Davenport House, the Green-Meldrim House, the Owens-Thomas House, the William Scarbrough House, and the United States Customhouse. Notable green spaces in the district include Savannahs 22 shaded squares, the 30-acre Forsyth Park (at the southern limit of the district), and Emmet Park (near the citys riverfront).</p><br>

<p>Gömmaren  is a small lake located in the municipality Huddinge in southern Stockholm, Sweden. It is the easternmost lake in the Tyresån Lake System.</p><br>
<p>The lake empties to the west through Gömmarbäcken ("Gömmaren Rill") and to the east through Fullerstaån ("Fullersta Stream"), which is further downstream guided in culverts under the commercial centre of Huddinge (Huddinge Centrum) before flowing south-east to empty into Lake Trehörningen. Motorboats are not allowed on the lake. Its clear water makes it popular for various open-air activities such as angling and bathing in summer, and skating in winters as it is one of the first lakes in Huddinge to freeze. Bathing from cliffs surrounding the lake is popular, but a sand beach is also available. A local fishing society (Långsjön-Gömmarens Fiskevårdsförening) is managing lake conservation and supply the general public with fishing permits.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Notwithstanding the lake&#39;s name, documented from the 18th century and most likely hinting at the hidden away location, settlements have been present near the lake since the Stone Age. The property of Vårby Gård, a nearby homestead, used to reach the lake in the 18th century, but the central building burnt down in 1975 and none of its gardens, brewing, bakery, smithy, or poultry houses are left.</p><br>
<h2>Catchment area</h2><br>
<p>The lake is located in a forest forming part of the Gömmaren Nature Reserve created in 1995 and as such is considered as important for recreation and nature conservation, a popular destination both for lovers of open-air life and for schools.</p><br>
<h3>Environmental influence</h3><br>
<p>The water of the lake is very clear and virtually colourless, which reflects the nutrient-poor flat rock pine forest of the surrounding area. Most of nutrient contribution to the lake comes from settlements south of the lake, also responsible for about 80 per cent of the phosphorus input. A hydrogeological examination in 1985 showed the surrounding soil is poorly fit to take up increased levels of waste water. Acidification has been neutralized by liming which has produced excellent pH-levels.</p><br>
<h2>Flora and fauna</h2><br>
<p>Many species of aquatic plants are present in the lake: reed, common club-rush, water horsetail, narrow leaf cattail, white beak-sedge, gypsywort, bulbous rush, white waterlily, broad-leaved pondweed, alternate water-milfoil, and intermediate bladderwort. Along the shores are grey willow, goat willow, aspen, black alder, bog-myrtle, tall bog-sedge, common sedge, bottle sedge, slender sedge, cranberry, and round-leaved sundew.</p><br>
<p>Fish species native to the lake include northern pike, perch, roach, and, to some degree, rudd. There are many introduced species such as rainbow trout, North American brook trout, trout, and the hybrid species splake making the lake well-attended by anglers during both summers and winters. Crayfish plague eliminated the population of noble crayfish in 1987, but some 1.200 signal crayfishs were introduced in the early 1990s.</p><br>
<p>Common birds are mallard and common gull, but other species such as common goldeneye, common tern, and a couple of black-throated diver are breeding by the lake and herons and ospreys are feeding in the area. Trees by the lake shores also attract long-tailed tit and lesser spotted woodpecker, and occasionally whooper swan, and great crested grebe are reported by the lake.</p><br>
<p>Additionally, many species of dragonflies have been reported but no inventory of bats have been made.</p><br>
<p>Deep River is a river located in the Great Southern region of Western Australia.</p><br>
<p>The river is under tidal influence for the last 6 km of its length.</p><br>
<p>Although generally shallow the Deep River has depths of up to 6.5 m in places.</p><br>
<p>The Deep River is one of the few perennial rivers in Western Australia although 80% of its discharge occurs in winter and spring.</p><br>
<p>The rivers water quality is very good, fresh and low in nutrients. The majority of the catchment of the Deep River is not cleared. The silt and clay content can be high during the winter period.</p><br>
<p>The Deep River begins just west of Lake Muir about 50 km from the coast on the edge of the Yilgarn Plateau. Lake Muir may, in flood, overflow into the Deep River catchment. It flows through a valley between granite hills then wanders across the coastal plain finally entering the Nornalup Inlet on the western side.</p><br>
<p>The two tributaries of the Deep River are the Weld River and Croea Brook.</p><br>
<p>Some features of the river include wide unobstructed pools interspersed with rapids such as Rowell’s Pool and two waterfalls, Fernhook Falls and Gladstone Falls.</p><br>
<p>The Deep River flows through forested areas of National Park including the Walpole-Nornalup National Park before discharging into the Nornalup Inlet.</p><br>
<p>Originally sighted in 1831 by Captain Thomas Bannister, the river was not named until 1841 by the Colonial Secretary, Peter Broun. It had been known as the Frankland River by sealers that operated in the area. The explorer William Nairne Clark named it the West River on his charts but Broun later decided on the current name.</p><br>
<p>Nea Peramos , is a town located 17 kilometres from Kavala, the capital of the regional unit of Kavala, Greece. Its population at the 2011 census was 3,532.</p><br>
<p>Since 1998, according to the Law of Kapodistrias, seven villages (Nea Peramos, Nea Iraklitsa, Agios Andreas, Eleftheres, Elaiochori, Myrtofyto, Folea) joined in a new municipality which was called Municipality of Eleftheres. The central administration authority resided in Nea Peramos, which is the largest of the villages listed above. The first Mayor of the Community of Eleftheres was Iraklis Karaberidis. At the 2011 Kallikratis reform, the municipality of Eleftheres became part of the new municipality of Pangaio.</p><br>
<p>Due to its situation the village Nea Peramos is a good starting point for excursions to the island of Thasos which is 1 hour from Nea Peramos by ferry, to the city of Kavala and also to ancient Philippi, which is about 30 km away. There are many destinations worth visiting along the coastal road, with idyllic bays and beaches which are quiet even during the main holiday season.</p><br>
<p>If the weather is clear, the view reaches from the Thasos island up to the mountains of Athos at the peninsula of Chalkidiki.</p><br>
<p>Gardner Steel Conference Center  is an academic building of the University of Pittsburgh and a contributing property to the Schenley Farms National Historic District and a Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Foundation Historic Landmark.</p><br>
<p>An Early Modern structure built from 1911-1912 by architects Kiehnel and Elliott, it originally served as the Central Turnverein, a German-American social and athletic association, and later known as the Central Athletic Association. It served as the site of various athletic contests, including some involving the University of Pittsburgh. During World War I, it was used to house those in the Student Army Training Corps. Following the war, a severe space shortage at the Dental School prompted the university to purchase the building in 1920 for use as a dental clinic and infirmary. Known then as the Infirmary Building, a 2,500 ft&sup2; annex was erected in 1922 creating enough space in the building to hold 200 dental chairs.</p><br>
<p>The Gardner Steel Conference Center, as it is now known, is currently home to classrooms, computer labs, the Academic Resource Center, and the Innovation Institute. In 1995, the School of Engineering and the Department of Mathematics collaborated on a $250,000 joint project that created a 2,300 ft&sup2; laboratory for the computer instruction of calculus. The Gardner Steel Conference Center is the former home to the Pitt Club, a University of Pittsburgh faculty and staff club defunct since 2003. Previously, it also served for a time as home of the General Alumni Association (now the Pitt Alumni Association based in Alumni Hall).</p><br>
<p>The Gardner Steel Conference Center is named after Gardner Steele, a Pitt alumnus and investor in the oil fields of Oklahoma. He matriculated in 1891 and was a member of one of the first intervarsity football teams and also held the record for the 100 yd dash while at Pitt. When he died in 1928, he left the bulk of a $300,000 estate to the university.</p><br>
<p>Abd al Kuri  is a rocky island about 65 miles  southwest of Socotra in the Indian Ocean. It consists of granite and diorite covered by limestone.</p><br>
<p>Much of Abd al Kuri is semi-desert with little vegetation. The northern coast consists mostly of a sandy beach with a few rocky points, while the southern coast consists of steep cliffs. Its highest point, Mount Ṣāliḥ, reaches an altitude of over 700 m. Most of its inhabitants subsist on fishing. Kilmia is the main village.</p><br>
<p>Abd al Kuri has a number of endemic plant species</p><br>
<p>On July 1, 2006, the Somali seafaring vessel Mariam IV sank off the coast of Abd al Kuri. 16 of the 19 crew members survived, and complications followed when the citizens of Kilmia would not allow the use of their own radio. Rescue by a German helicopter came a week later, but the chief officer was mistakenly left behind. Due to difficulties with wind, transportation, and communication, the officer was not returned to mainland Yemen until September. He described the island as "A hellish place, where time stands still, and one can feel completely alone in the world."</p><br>
<p>The Whitney Young Birthplace and Museum was the birthplace and childhood home of Whitney M. Young, Jr., an American civil rights leader. The simple wooden house in Shelby County, Kentucky, near Louisville, is on the campus of the former Lincoln Institute, an all-black high school that Young attended and Young&#39;s father led.</p><br>
<p>Young was born in the house in 1921 and lived there through his high school years. After Young&#39;s death in 1971, the house was dedicated as a shrine to his memory. Today, numerous photographs, articles, and other items related to Young and the Lincoln Institute are on display inside the house.</p><br>
<p>The house appears on the National Register of Historic Places and was designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1984.</p><br>
<p>Wrangel Island  is an island in the Arctic Ocean, between the Chukchi Sea and East Siberian Sea. Wrangel Island lies astride the 180° meridian. The International Date Line is displaced eastwards at this latitude to avoid the island as well as the Chukchi Peninsula on the Russian mainland. The closest land to Wrangel Island is the tiny and rocky Herald Island located 60 km to the east. The distance to the closest point on the mainland is 140 km. Wrangel Island may have been the last place on earth where mammoths survived.</p><br>
<p>Most of Wrangel Island, and Herald Island, is a federally protected nature sanctuary administered by Russia&#39;s Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment. The island, and its surrounding waters, were classified as a "Zapovednik" (a "strict nature reserve") in 1976 and, as such, receive the highest level of protection and exclude practically all human activity other than for scientific purposes. The Chukotka Regional government extended the marine protected area out to 24 nautical miles in 1999. As of 2003, there were four rangers who reside on the island year-round. In addition a core group of about 12 scientists conduct research during the summer months.</p><br>
<p>Wrangel Island is about 125 km wide and 7,600 km&sup2; in area. It consists of a southern coastal plain that is as wide as 15 km; a central belt of low-relief mountains; and a northern coastal plain that is as wide as 25 km. The east-west trending central mountain belt, the Tsentral&#39;nye Mountain Range, is as much as 40 km wide and 145 km long from coast to coast. Typically, the mountains are a little over 500 m above mean sea level. The highest mountain on this island is Sovetskaya Mountain with an elevation of 1,096 m above mean sea level. The east-west trending mountain range terminates at sea cliffs at either end of the island.</p><br>
<p>Wrangel Island belongs administratively to the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug of the Russian Federation. This rocky island has a weather station and, formerly, two Chukchi fishing settlements on the southern side of the island (Ushakovskoye and Zvyozdny on the shore of Somnitelnaya Bay).</p><br>
<h2>Geology</h2><br>
<p>Wrangel Island consists of folded, faulted, and metamorphosed volcanic, intrusive, and sedimentary rocks ranging in age from Upper Precambrian to Lower Mesozoic. The Precambrian rocks, which are about 2 km thick, consist of Upper Proterozoic sericite and chlorite slate and schist that contain minor amounts of metavolcanic rocks, metaconglomerates, and quartzite. These rocks are intruded by metamorphosed gabbro, diabase, and felsic dikes and sills and granite intrusions. Overlying the Precambrian strata are up to 2.25 km of Upper Silurian to Lower Carboniferous consisting of interbedded sandstone, siltstone, slate, argillite, some conglomerate and rare limestone and dolomite. These strata are overlain by up to 2.15 km of Carboniferous to Permian limestone, often composed largely of crinoid plates, that is interbedded with slate, argillite and locally minor amounts of thick breccia, sandstone, and chert. The uppermost stratum consists of 0.7 to 1.5 km of Triassic clayish quartzose turbidites interbedded with black slate and siltstone.</p><br>
<p>A thin veneer of Cenozoic gravel, sand, clay and mud underlie the coastal plains of Wrangel Island. Late Neogene clay and gravel, which are only a few tens of meters thick, rest upon the eroded surface of the folded and faulted strata that comprise Wrangel Island. Indurated Pliocene mud and gravel, which are only a few meters thick, overlie the Late Neogene sediments. Sandy Pleistocene sediments occur as fluvial sediments along rivers and streams and as a very thin and patchy surficial layer of either colluvium or eluvium.</p><br>
<h2>Flora and fauna</h2><br>
<p>Wrangel Island is a breeding ground for polar bears (having the highest density of dens in the world), seals, walrus, and lemmings. During the summer it is visited by many types of birds. Arctic foxes also make their home on the island. Cetaceans such as bowhead whales, gray whales, and belugas can be seen close to shore.</p><br>
<p>Woolly mammoths survived there until 2500–2000 BC, the most recent survival of all known mammoth populations. Domestic reindeer were introduced in the 1950s and their numbers are managed at around 1,000 in order to reduce their impact on nesting bird grounds. In 1975, the musk ox was also introduced. The population has grown from 20 to about 200 animals. In 2002 wolves were spotted on the island; wolves lived on the island in historical times.</p><br>
<p>The flora includes 417 species of plants, double that of any other Arctic tundra territory of comparable size and more than any other Arctic island. Forest occupies about 15% of the island&#39;s area. For these reasons, the island was proclaimed the northernmost World Heritage Site in 2004.</p><br>
<h2>Climate</h2><br>
<p>Wrangel Island has a severe polar climate. The region is blanketed by dry and cold Arctic air masses for most of the year. Warmer and more humid air can reach the island from the south-east during summer. Dry and heated air from Siberia comes to the island periodically.</p><br>
<p>Wrangel Island is influenced by both the Arctic and Pacific air masses. One consequence is the predominance of high winds. The island is subjected to "cyclonic" episodes characterized by rapid circular winds. It is also an island of mists and fogs.</p><br>
<p>Winters are prolonged and are characterized by steady frosty weather and high northerly winds. During this period the temperatures usually stay well below freezing for months. In February and March there are frequent snow-storms with wind speeds of 140 km/h or above.</p><br>
<p>There are noticeable differences in climate between the northern, central and southern parts of the island. The central and southern portion is warmer, with some of the valleys having semi-continental climates that support a number of sub-Arctic steppe-like meadow species. This area has been described as perhaps being a relict of the Ice Age Mammoth steppe, along with certain areas along the northwestern border between Mongolia and Russia.</p><br>
<p>The short summers are cool but comparatively mild as the polar day generally keeps temperatures above 0 &deg;C. Some frosts and snowfalls occur, and fog is common. Warmer and drier weather is experienced in the center of the island because the interior&#39;s topography encourages foehn winds. As of 2003, the frost-free period on the island was very short, usually not more than 20 to 25 days, and more often only two weeks. Average relative humidity is about 83%.</p><br>
<h2>Waters on and around Wrangel</h2><br>
<p>According to a 2003 report prepared by the Wrangel Island Nature Preserve, the hydrographic network of Wrangel Island consists of approximately 1,400 rivers over 1 kilometer in length; five rivers over 50 km long; and approximately 900 shallow lakes, mostly located in the northern portion of Wrangel Island, with a total surface area of 80 km&sup2;. The waters of the East Siberian Sea and the Sea of Chukchi surrounding Wrangel and Herald Islands are classified as a separate chemical oceanographic region. These waters have among the lowest levels of salinity in the Arctic basin as well as a very high oxygen content and increased biogenic elements.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>First human settlements and the extinction of the woolly mammoth</h3><br>
<p>This remote Arctic island is believed to be the final place on Earth to support woolly mammoths as an isolated population until their extinction about 2000 BC, making them the most recent surviving population known to science. Initially, it was assumed that this was a specific dwarf variant of the species originating from Siberia. However, after further evaluation, these Wrangel island mammoths are no longer considered to have been dwarfs. The presence of modern humans using advanced hunting and survival skills probably hastened their demise on this frozen isle, which until recently was ice bound for most years with infrequent breaks of clear water in some Arctic summers. A mirror development can be found with the dwarf elephant on Malta, originating from the European species.</p><br>
<p>Evidence for prehistoric human occupation was uncovered in 1975 at the Chertov Ovrag site. The presence of mammoths on the island of Wrangel more than 5000 years after their extinction on the mainland is considered as a strong evidence that the climate change hypothesis as the cause of the quaternary extinction event is not consistent with the survival of woolly mammoth on this island and the island of Saint Paul, so many authors today argue that the most likely cause of extinction of the mammoth in the continents was excessive hunting.</p><br>
<p>A recent research shows how mammoth population was experiencing a genetic meltdown in the DNA of the last animals, a difference when compared with examples about 40,000 years earlier, when populations were plentiful. These data bear the signature of genomic meltdown in small populations, consistent with nearly-neutral genome evolution. They furthermore suggest large numbers of detrimental variants collecting in pre-extinction genomes, a warning for continued efforts to protect current endangered species with small population sizes.</p><br>
<p>Paleoeskimos established camps on the southern side of the island for marine hunters. By the time Wrangel Island was discovered by Europeans there was no aboriginal population.</p><br>
<p>A legend prevalent among the Chukchi people of Siberia tells of a chief Krachai (or Krächoj, Krahay, Khrakhai), who fled with his people (the Krachaians or Krahays, also identified as the Onkilon or Omoki – Siberian Yupik people) across the ice to settle in a northern land. Though the story may be mythical, the existence of an island or continent to the north was lent credence by the annual migration of reindeer across the ice, as well as the appearance of slate spear-points washed up on Arctic shores, made in a fashion unknown to the Chukchi. Retired University of Alaska, Fairbanks linguistics professor Michael E. Krauss has presented archaeological, historical, and linguistic evidence that Wrangel Island was a way station on a trade route linking the Inuit settlement at Point Hope, Alaska with the north Siberian coast, and that the coast may have been colonized in late prehistoric and early historic times by Inuit settlers from North America. Krauss suggests that the departure of these colonists was related to the Krachai legend.</p><br>
<h3>Outside discovery</h3><br>
<p>In 1764 the Cossack Sergeant Stepan Andreyev claimed to have sighted this island. Calling it Tikegen Land, Andreyev found evidence of its inhabitants, the Krahay. Eventually, the island was named after Baron Ferdinand von Wrangel (1797–1870), who, after reading Andreyevs report and hearing Chukchi stories of land at the islands , set off on an expedition (1820–1824) to discover the island, with no success.</p><br>
<h3>British, American, and Russian expeditions</h3><br>
<p>In 1849, Henry Kellett, captain of HMS Herald, landed on and named Herald Island. He thought he saw another island to the west, which he called Plover Island; thereafter it was indicated on British admiralty charts as Kellett Land.</p><br>
<p>Eduard Dallmann, a German whaler, reported in 1881 that he had landed on the island in 1866.</p><br>
<p>In August 1867, Thomas Long, an American whaling captain, "approached it as near as fifteen miles. I have named this northern land Wrangell Land... as an appropriate tribute to the memory of a man who spent three consecutive years north of latitude 68°, and demonstrated the problem of this open polar sea forty-five years ago, although others of much later date have endeavored to claim the merit of this discovery." An account appeared in the Proceedings of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, 1868 (17th Meeting, at Chicago), published in 1869, under the title "The New Arctic Continent, or Wrangells Land, discovered August 14, 1867, by Captain Long, of the American Ship Nile, and seen by Captains Raynor, Bliven and others, with a brief Notice of Baron Wrangells Exploration in 1823".</p><br>
<p>George W. DeLong, commanding USS Jeannette, led an expedition in 1879 attempting to reach the North Pole, expecting to go by the "east side of Kellett land", which he thought extended far into the Arctic. His ship became locked in the polar ice pack and drifted westward, passing within sight of Wrangel before being crushed and sunk in the vicinity of the New Siberian Islands.</p><br>
<p>A party from the USRC Corwin landed on Wrangel Island on August 12, 1881, claimed the island for the United States and named it "New Columbia". The expedition, under the command of Calvin L. Hooper, was seeking the Jeannette and two missing whalers in addition to conducting general exploration. It included naturalist John Muir, who published the first description of Wrangel Island. The USS Rodgers, also searching for the Jeannette, landed a party on Wrangel Island, also in 1881 but after the Corwin party. They stayed about two weeks and conducted an extensive survey and search.</p><br>
<p>In 1911, the Russian Arctic Ocean Hydrographic Expedition on icebreakers Vaygach and Taymyr under Boris Vilkitsky, landed on the island. In 1916 the Tsarist government declared that the island belonged to the Russian empire.</p><br>
<h3>Stefansson expeditions</h3><br>
<p>In 1914, members of the Canadian Arctic Expedition, organized by Vilhjalmur Stefansson, were marooned on Wrangel Island for nine months after their ship, the Karluk, was crushed in the ice pack. The survivors were rescued by the American motorized fishing schooner King & Winge after Captain Robert Bartlett walked across the Chukchi Sea to Siberia to summon help.</p><br>
<p>In 1921, Stefansson sent five settlers (the Canadian Allan Crawford, three Americans: Fred Maurer, Lorne Knight and Milton Galle, and Iñupiat seamstress and cook Ada Blackjack) to the island in a speculative attempt to claim it for Canada. The explorers were handpicked by Stefansson based upon their previous experience and academic credentials. Stefansson considered those with advanced knowledge in the fields of geography and science for this expedition. At the time, Stefansson claimed that his purpose was to head off a possible Japanese claim. An attempt to relieve this group in 1922 failed when the schooner Teddy Bear under Captain Joe Bernard became stuck in the ice. In 1923, the sole survivor of the Wrangel Island expedition, Ada Blackjack, was rescued by a ship that left another party of 13 (American Charles Wells and 12 Inuit).</p><br>
<p>In 1924, the Soviet Union removed the American and 13 Inuit (one was born on the island) of this settlement aboard the Krasny Oktyabr. Wells subsequently died of pneumonia in Vladivostok during a diplomatic American-Soviet row about an American boundary marker on the Siberian coast, and so did an Inuit child. The others were deported from Vladivostok to the Chinese border post Suifenhe, but the Chinese government did not want to accept them as the American consul in Harbin told them the Inuit were not American citizens. Later, the American government came up with a statement that the Inuit were wards of the United States, but that there were no funds for returning them. Eventually, the American Red Cross came up with $1600 for their return. They subsequently moved through Dalian, Kobe and Seattle (where another Inuit child drowned during the wait for the return trip to Alaska) back to Nome.</p><br>
<p>During the Soviet trip, the American reindeer owner Carl J. Lomen from Nome had taken over the possessions of Stefansson and had acquired explicit support ("go and hold it") from US Secretary of State Charles Evans Hughes to claim the island for the United States, a goal about which the Russian expedition got to hear during their trip. Lomen dispatched the MS Herman, commanded by captain Louis L. Lane. Due to unfavorable ice conditions, the Herman could not get any further than Herald Island, where the American flag was raised.</p><br>
<p>In 1926, the government of the Soviet Union reaffirmed the Tsarist claim to sovereignty over Wrangel Island.</p><br>
<h3>Soviet administration</h3><br>
<p>In 1926, a team of Soviet explorers, equipped with three years of supplies, landed on Wrangel Island. Clear waters that facilitated the 1926 landing were followed by years of continuous heavy ice surrounding the island. Attempts to reach the island by sea failed, and it was feared that the team would not survive their fourth winter.</p><br>
<p>In 1929, the icebreaker Fyodor Litke was chosen for a rescue operation. It sailed from Sevastopol, commanded by captain Konstantin Dublitsky. On July 4, it reached Vladivostok where all Black Sea sailors were replaced by local crew members. Ten days later Litke sailed north; it passed the Bering Strait, and tried to pass Long Strait and approach the island from south. On August 8 a scout plane reported impassable ice in the strait, and Litke turned north, heading to Herald Island. It failed to escape mounting ice; August 12 the captain shut down the engines to save coal and had to wait two weeks until the ice pressure eased. Making a few hundred meters a day, Litke reached the settlement August 28. On September 5, Litke turned back, taking all the islanders to safety. This operation earned Litke the order of the Red Banner of Labour (January 20, 1930), as well as commemorative badges for the crew.</p><br>
<p>According to a 1936 article in Time Magazine, Wrangel Island became the scene of a bizarre criminal story in the 1930s when it fell under the increasingly arbitrary rule of its appointed governor Konstantin Semenchuk. Semenchuk controlled the local populace and his own staff through open extortion and murder. He forbade the local Eskimos (recruited from Provideniya Bay in 1926) to hunt walrus, which put them in danger of starvation, while collecting food for himself. He was then implicated in the mysterious deaths of some of his opponents, including the local doctor. The subsequent Moscow trial in June 1936 sentenced Semenchuk to death for "banditry" and violation of Soviet law.</p><br>
<p>In 1948, a small herd of domestic reindeer was introduced with the intention of establishing commercial herding to generate income for island residents.</p><br>
<p>A prisoner who later emigrated to Israel, Efim Moshinsky, claimed to have seen Raoul Wallenberg there in 1962. However, despite the legends, there never was a Gulag camp on Wrangel.</p><br>
<p>Aside from the main settlement of Ushakovskoye near Rogers Bay, on the south-central coast, in the 1960s a new settlement named Zvyozdny was established some 38 km to the west in the Somnitelnaya Bay area, where ground runways reserved for military aviation were constructed (these were abandoned in the 1970s). Moreover, a military radar installation was built on the southeast coast at Cape Hawaii. Rock crystal mining had been carried out for a number of years in the center of the island near Khrustalnyi Creek. At the time, a small settlement, Perkatkun, had been established nearby to house the miners, but later on it was completely destroyed.</p><br>
<h3>Establishment of Federal Nature Reserve</h3><br>
<p>Resolution #189 of the Council of Ministers of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (RSFSR) was adopted on March 23, 1976, for the establishment of the state Nature Reserve "Wrangel Island" for the purpose of conserving the unique natural systems of Wrangel and Herald Islands and the surrounding waters out to five nautical miles. On December 15, 1997, the Russian Government&#39;s Decree No. 1623-r expanded the marine reserve out to 12 nautical miles. On May 25, 1999, the (regional) Governor of Chukotka issued Decree No. 91, which again expanded the protected water area to 24 nautical miles around Wrangel and Herald Islands.</p><br>
<p>By the 1980s, the reindeer-herding farm on Wrangel had been abolished and the settlement of Zvezdnyi was virtually abandoned. Hunting had already been stopped, except for a small quota of marine mammals for the needs of the local population. In 1992, the military radar installation at Cape Hawaii (on the southeast coast) was closed, and only the settlement of Ushakovskoe remained occupied.</p><br>
<h3>Post-Soviet era</h3><br>
<p>According to some American activists, eight Arctic islands currently controlled by Russia, including Wrangel Island, are claimed by the United States. However, according to the United States Department of State no such claim exists. The USSR/USA Maritime Boundary Treaty, which has yet to be approved by the Russian Duma, does not specifically address the status of these islands nor the maritime boundaries associated with them.</p><br>
<p>On June 1, 1990, Secretary of State James Baker signed an executive agreement with Eduard Shevardnadze, the USAS.R. foreign minister. It specified that even though the treaty had not been ratified, the USA and the USAS.R. agreed to abide by the terms of the treaty beginning June 15, 1990. The Senate ratified the USSR–USA Maritime Boundary Agreement in 1991, which was then signed by President George Bush.</p><br>
<p>In 2004 Wrangel Island and neighboring Herald Island, along with their surrounding waters, were added to UNESCO&#39;s World Heritage List.</p><br>
<h3>Russian naval base</h3><br>
<p>In 2014 the Russian Navy announced plans to establish a base on the island. The bases on Wrangel Island and on Cape Schmidt on Russia&#39;s Arctic coast reportedly consist of two sets of 34 prefabricated modules.</p><br>
<h2>In literature</h2><br>
<p>In Jules Vernes novel César Cascabel, the protagonists float past Wrangel Island on an iceberg. In Vernes description, a live volcano is located on the island: "Between the two capes on its southern coast, Cape Hawan and Cape Thomas, it is surmounted by a live volcano, which is marked on the recent maps." In Chukchi author Yuri Rytkheus historical novel A Dream in Polar Fog, set in the early 20th century, the Chukchi knew of Wrangel Island and referred to it as the "Invisible Land" or "Invisible Island". Also, in Cassandra Clares Mortal Instruments: City of Heavenly Fire, the last book in the series, Wrangel Island was the seat of all the world&#39;s wards, the spells that protected the globe from demons and demon invasion.</p><br>
<p>Wrangell Island is in the Alexander Archipelago in the Alaska Panhandle of southeastern Alaska. It is 48 km long and 8 to 23 km wide. It has a land area of 544.03 km&sup2;, making it the 29th largest island in the United States. Wrangell is separated from the mainland by the narrow Blake Channel.</p><br>
<p>The first European to sight the island was James Johnstone, one of George Vancouver’s officers during his 1791-95 expedition, in 1793. He only charted its east coast, not realizing it was an island. It was occupied in 1834 by the Russians. It is named after Ferdinand Wrangel, a Baltic German explorer in Russian service, and government official. From 1867 to 1877 it was a U.S. military post; later it became an outfitting point for hunters and explorers, and for miners using the Stikine River route to the Yukon.</p><br>
<p>The island contains the city of Wrangell, Alaska. Wrangell Island is heavily forested and contains an abundance of wildlife. The only other community is Thoms Place on the southwest side, across the Zimovia Strait from Etolin Island. Wrangell Island&#39;s total population was 2,401 at the 2000 census.</p><br>
<p>Fishing and mining are pursued in the area. A lumber mill closed in the 1990s. The island and surrounding areas contain many recreational areas. It is at the mouth of the Stikine River, which provides many recreational opportunities.</p><br>
<p>Schenley Quadrangle is a cluster of University of Pittsburgh residence halls that is a Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Foundation Historic Landmark and are contributing properties to the Schenley Farms National Historic District in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States.</p><br>
<p>The five residence halls are the former historic Schenley Apartments, designed by Henry Hornbostel, with collaboration from Rutan & Russell and Eric Fisher Wood, for developer Franklin Nicola and were built between 1922 and 1924 at a cost of more than $4.5 million ($ in dollars). Originally, the Schenley Apartments were home of Pittsburgh&#39;s well-to-do, including for a time its architect Henry Hornbostel, and consisted of 1,113 rooms in 238 apartments throughout the five buildings. The University acquired them in December 1955 at a cost of $3 million ($ in dollars), and renovated them into residence halls for another $1 million ($ in dollars). By 1957-1958 101 female students had moved into 20 apartments in Building F (now called Brackenridge Hall).</p><br>
<p>Schenley Quadrangle consists of five residence halls: Amos Hall, Brackenridge Hall, Bruce Hall, Holland Hall, and McCormick Hall.</p><br>
<h2>Amos Hall</h2><br>
<p>Amos Hall houses nine sororities, each floor houses a separate sorority. There are 152 upperclass women residents living in sorority suites which feature a kitchen, bathrooms, living room, and chapter room. Laundry facilities are in the penthouse. In November 2008, Pitt approved a $9.1 million renovation of Amos Hall which included air conditioning, updated energy-efficient electrical and water systems, and new bedrooms, bathrooms, and kitchens that were redesigned to be compatible with the pre-existing architectural structure. Completed and reopened for the 2009 fall term, the input of each sorority gave every floor its own style.</p><br>
<p>The Oakland Bakery and Market occupies space on the street level of the building, which had previously been occupied by a fitness center, and prior to that, a bank.</p><br>
<p>The building is named for the University&#39;s dean of women from 1919 to 1941, Thrysa W. Amos.</p><br>
<h2>Brackenridge Hall</h2><br>
<p>Brackenridge Hall houses 210 mostly upperclass men and women in four- and five-person suites. Each suite features a MicroFridge and a private bathroom. There are also a few single and double rooms that do not include a MicroFridge. Laundry facilities are located in the penthouse. Brackenridge Hall also features a fitness center, which moved from Amos Hall in 2013, that is available to all residents of Schenley Quadrangle.</p><br>
<p>The Honors College established Brackenridge Hall as an honors dormitory in Fall 2012.</p><br>
<p>The Pitt Shop, a University owned store selling University of Pittsburgh branded clothing and merchandise, is on the street level of the building.</p><br>
<p>The building is named for the founder of the University, Hugh Henry Brackenridge.</p><br>
<h2>Bruce Hall</h2><br>
<p>Bruce Hall houses 212 men and women, primarily freshman, in four- and six-person suites. Starting in 2014-2015, Bruce Hall will be home to the freshman College of Business Administration Living Learning Community. The building is named for the first chancellor after the University was renamed from the Pittsburgh Academy to the Western University of Pennsylvania, Robert Bruce. Bruce Hall served as a university office building until those offices were moved into Posvar Hall thereby allowing Bruce Hall to be converted into housing suites beginning in 1978.</p><br>
<h3>Basement and First Floor</h3><br>
<p>The basement and first floor of Bruce Hall are actually on the street level with Forbes Avenue, and are rented out to The UPS Store and 7 Eleven.</p><br>
<h3>Second Floor</h3><br>
<p>The second floor is the main entrance for residents, as well as the location of the University of Pittsburgh Residence Life offices.</p><br>
<h3>Third through Eleventh Floors</h3><br>
<p>The third through eleventh floors are entirely student suites. Each floor has 6 suites, 5 4-person suites and 1 six-person suite with laundry facilities on each floor. The 6-person suites on the upper floors have an exceptional view of the Cathedral of Learning, Schenley Plaza, and the Carnegie Museum of Natural History out of the common room&#39;s windows.</p><br>
<h3>Twelfth Floor</h3><br>
<p>The twelfth floor is home to the University&#39;s catering service, as well as a meeting room in suite 1201 reserved for activities held by the President or Vice President of the University. It was usually impossible to get to the twelfth floor without an elevator key, although recently access to the twelfth floor has not been as restrictive as in the past.</p><br>
<p>A five bedroom, four-bath suite on the twelfth floor of Bruce Hall also once served as the University&#39;s chancellor residence.</p><br>
<h3>The Ghost of 1201 Bruce Hall</h3><br>
<p>Many students and university employees, as well as various outside sources, believe that a ghost or two haunts the 1201 suite of Bruce. The owner of the Schenley Apartments once lived with his family on the twelfth floor. Rumor has it that his mistress and/or wife committed suicide in the 1201 by either hanging herself or throwing herself out the window.</p><br>
<p>Students and staff have reported hearing footsteps in the stairwells and the halls, as well as a woman&#39;s voice, while some have reported poltergiest-like activity. Others have heard stories of the elevators not stopping on their floor, and continuing up to the twelfth floor and refusing to go back down. Traditionally referred to as "Harriet," the ghost, for which Pitt staff have even hung Christmas stockings for, has only been known to visit the 12th floor, the 11th floor, and suite 8B on the 8th floor, where she is said to have lived.</p><br>
<h2>Holland Hall</h2><br>
<p>Holland Hall is divided into two wings, North and South, and houses 600 upperclass and first-year women and, since the 2017 school year, men in single, double, triple, and quad accommodations. There is a kitchenette on each floor as well as communal bathrooms and showers. The penthouse features a lounge, study area, and laundry facilities. It originally served as a men&#39;s dormatory.</p><br>
<p>Since January, 1960, the University Store, the primary book store for the university, has been located on the ground floor of Holland Hall, accessible from either the Schenley Quadrangle or from Fifth Avenue. At the time of its opening, it was hailed as the largest college bookstore in the nation. The store completed a $9.43 million renovation that included insertion of a skylight, a café, a technology area, an Espresso Book Machine, and various reading nooks, as well as the creation of a new entrance on the Forbes Avenue side of Holland Hall.</p><br>
<p>Holland Hall is named after University Chancellor William Jacob Holland, who led the University from 1891 to 1901 when it was known as the Western University of Pennsylvania.</p><br>
<h2>McCormick Hall</h2><br>
<p>McCormick Hall houses 132 mostly upperclass men and women in two-, three-, five-, and seven-person suites. Each suite features a kitchenette with refrigerator and one or more private bathrooms. Laundry facilities are available in the penthouse. Adjoining McCormick Hall is the William Pitt Union.</p><br>
<p>McCormick Hall is named after Samuel B. McCormick who served as University Chancellor from 1904-1921 during which time the University moved from Pittsburgh&#39;s North Side to its current location in Oakland and also changed its name from the Western University of Pennsylvania to the University of Pittsburgh.</p><br>

<p>When still the Schenley Apartments, the buildings were simply named "A", "B", "C", "D", and "F". After their acquisition by the university for student residences, they were eventually renamed for important figures in the university&#39;s history.</p><br>
<p>The Elmwood Inn in Perryville, Kentucky is a historic building which served as a mansion, a battlefield hospital in 1862, as an academy during 1891-1925, and later as an restaurant and as a tea house, and then again as a private residence.</p><br>
<p>Its facade illustrates tins of tea and recipe books distributed under the banner of the Elmwood Inn Fine Teas company.</p><br>
<p>Built in 1842 by local merchant John Burton, the Greek Revival mansion was used as a makeshift hospital during the 1862 Battle of Perryville in the American Civil War. The handsome building served as a boarding school, the Elmwood Academy, from 1896 until 1924 under the care of headmaster Thomas Poynter.</p><br>
<p>Elmwood was rescued by preservationists in 1974. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places as a contributing building in the Perryville Historic District in 1973, and it was designated as a Kentucky landmark by Governor Wendell Ford. It served as a regional restaurant until 1989. Noted guests during that time included Ronald Reagan and KFC founder Colonel Harland Sanders. The inn was transformed into one of America&#39;s best-known tea houses in 1990 under the ownership of Bruce and Shelley Richardson. In 2002, Elmwood Inn was named by the UK Tea Council as the first American tea room to be included in their prestigious publication "Best Tea Places."</p><br>
<p>Elmwood Inn closed to the public in 2004 and the grand house is now the private residence of the owners.</p><br>
<p>Elmwood Inn Fine Teas began importing, blending and packaging specialty teas in 1993 and now supplies teas to tea rooms, restaurants and gift shops in every state. Elmwood Inn&#39;s publishing division, Benjamin Press, is the publisher of over 17 books, mainly on the subject of tea.</p><br>
<p>The Elmwood Inn Fine Teas and Benjamin Press offices, blending and packaging operation is located at 135 North Second Street in Danville, Kentucky. A tea shop for retail and wholesale customers is located in that downtown facility.</p><br>
<p>The Elmwood Inn building was the Elmwood Academy from 1891 to 1925, built c.1850, served as a hospital in the Battle of Perryville.</p><br>
<p>The Lokka Reservoir , is a reservoir, upstream of the Luiro River in Sodankylä, in northern Finland. Depending on the water level, its area ranges from 216 to 418 km². The corresponding water levels above mean sea level are 240&ndash;245 meters. The filling of the reservoir Lokka began in 1967, and with this reservoir, the amount of water coming to the power plants in Kemijoki could be regulated. Lokka has also been famous for its rich fish population. There are also populations of white-tailed eagles at the reservoir. These do not migrate south for the winter, instead they stay at Lokka to feed on fish left by local fishermen.</p><br>
<p>Lokka is connected to the Porttipahta Reservoir through the Vuotso Canal.</p><br>

<p>Trehörningen  is a small lake located in the municipality Huddinge in southern Stockholm, Sweden. As part of the Tyresån lake system, Trehörningen receives water from Lake Gömmaren and supplies water to Lake Ågesta.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The area surrounding Trehörningen, Orlången and Ågestasjön, is a fine example of a historical landscape evolving from a prehistoric settlement into a traditional agricultural village discontinued in the 19th century, encompassing structures from all interjacent eras. It is one of the few areas in Stockholm which escaped the creation of the widespread 20th century suburbs around the historical city of Stockholm, and, consequently, the area is considered as having cultural and historical values of national interest. The landscape include open cultivated and grazed fields next to steep rocks, pine and deciduous forests. Several grave fields, hillforts, and other archaeological structures, reflects the area was connected to the Baltic Sea in prehistoric times. During medieval times, the area contained the only farmstead exempt from land dues (i.e. owned by a member of the Swedish nobility) in Huddinge. In the area traces from the Stone Age and some cairns from the Bronze Age have been found, and parts of the present road network is left unaltered for thousands of years.</p><br>
<h2>Catchment area</h2><br>
<p>Three fourth of the catchment area is used for settlements, including the commercial centre of Huddinge (Huddinge Centrum) and half a dozen residential neighbourhoods. Nevertheless, the shores of the lakes are of significant recreational importance as they border the Orlången Nature Reserve and contain several cliffs popular for bathing and angling. Both major inflows, Fullerstaån and Solfagradiket, are guided through culverts under neighbouring settlements, but reaches the lake through open ditches. Today, motor-driven boats are not permitted on the lake and restrictions are imposed on angling.</p><br>
<h3>Environmental influence</h3><br>
<p>The lake used to receive waste water from both settlements and other neighbouring operations 1951-1971, but the inflow is today reduced to stormwater - the old usage still echoing in oxygen depletion and phosphorus release at the lake bottom, and algae bloom and limited water transparency. To restrict future influence to a minimum, reduction in incoming flows are given priority rather than any actions to the lake itself. The lake was drudged in 1975-76, the product of which was pumped over to the lake&#39;s western bay where embankments prevents it from pouring back into the lake. Additionally, reed beds were removed and other measures were taken to clean the lake. Vegetation has been cleared annually since.</p><br>
<h2>Flora and fauna</h2><br>
<p>As a locale for birds, the lake was significantly deteriorated by the mid-1970s drudging which caused a colony of black-headed gull to disappear. Today, the lake has a regular presence of mallard, Eurasian coot, great crested grebe, common goldeneye; regular visits of common gull, heron, common merganser, osprey, marsh warbler, great reed-warbler, and grasshopper warbler; and some uncommon guests such as common kingfisher and black-throated diver; the lake itself thus still being of ornithological interest, while the forests surrounding the lake attracts long-tailed tit and lesser spotted woodpecker.</p><br>
<p>Aquatic plants, in addition to reed and club-rush, includes several species of duckweed and chickenwort. Along the shore are some 30 species of trees and plants, including alder, birch, aspen, spruce, sedges, loosestrife, forget-me-nots, cinquefoils, and water-pepper.</p><br>
<p>The common frog and common toad have been observed by the lake, as have bats such as the northern bat and Daubenton&#39;s bat. No observations of dragonflies had been reported until July 2014, when two American visitors saw a small red dragonfly and a large black dragonfly.</p><br>
<p>The Charles E. Roberts Stable is a renovated former barn in the Chicago suburb of Oak Park, Illinois, United States. The building has a long history of remodeling work including an 1896 transformation by famous American architect Frank Lloyd Wright. The stable remodel was commissioned by Charles E. Roberts, a patron of Wrights work, the same year Wright worked on an interior remodel of Roberts House. The building was eventually converted into a residence by Charles E. White, Jr., a Wright-associated architect, sources vary as to when this occurred but the house was moved from its original location to its present site in 1929. The home is cast in the Tudor Revival style but still displays the architectural thumb print of Wright&#39;s later work. The building is listed as a contributing property to a federally designated USA Registered Historic District.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Charles E. Roberts was an engineer, inventor and important early client of Frank Lloyd Wright. Roberts was an influential member of the building committee of Unity Temple in Oak Park. For Roberts, Wright also developed the Quadruple Block Plan of 1900-1903. Some architectural historians have mistakenly identified Charles E. Roberts as the father of Oak Park Studio architect Isabel Roberts. As has been well documented, Isabel&#39;s father was James H. Roberts of South Bend, Indiana.</p><br>
<p>In 1896 Charles E. Roberts, an established patron of Frank Lloyd Wright, commissioned two jobs by the architect. One was the Charles E. Roberts House, for which Wright executed an interior remodel, and the other was the Charles E. Roberts Stable. Wright redesigned the structure from an old barn into a garage for Roberts electric car. The building was eventually converted into a residence by architect Charles E. White, Jr., Roberts son-in-law and an employee in Wrights studio in the years 1903-1905. Sources greatly vary on the date of Whites conversion. The village of Oak Parks landmark nomination form for Wrights other Roberts project, the patrons home, dates Whites conversion of the garage into a residence at 1929, the year when the structure was physically moved from its original location to its present location. Historian Thomas OGorman, while noting the 1929 move, states that the Wright-redesigned barn conversion was altered into a dwelling between 1903 and 1904. OGorman connects Whites remodel to the thorough overhaul the building experienced under Wrights creative control.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The house elicits in its viewer a distinct "English feel." Indeed, through its many remodelings the building is cast in the Tudor Revival style of architecture. The structure displays a steeply pitched, side gabled roof, rounded bay and half-timbering, all common elements of the Tudor Revival style. Other 1890s Wright-designed buildings also displayed a connection to traditional domestic architecture styles. The house has a vertical upsweep which projects a sense of shelter and safety associated with the broad, overhanging eaves found in Wrights roof designs. White carried Wrights design a step further in his remodel, but Wright&#39;s architectural aplomb is still evident in the structure.</p><br>
<p>The home expresses a familial coziness, common to Wright&#39;s later early modern Prairie homes. The entire idea of barn conversion was an architectural advance in the late 19th century.</p><br>
<h2>Significance</h2><br>
<p>The Charles E. Roberts Stable is one of several examples of Wright&#39;s work on pre-existing structures found in the village of Oak Park. Other examples include the Peter A. Beachy House and the Hills-DeCaro House, as well as the Roberts House; each of those buildings were pre-existing homes. The building once sat at the rear of the Charles E. Roberts House, a locally designated Oak Park Landmark, today it stands next door to that structure. The historic district was listed on the USA National Register of Historic Places on December 4, 1973.</p><br>
<p>Balderhead Reservoir is a reservoir in Baldersdale, County Durham, England. It is one of a chain of three reservoirs on the River Balder, a tributary of the River Tees, which it joins at Cotherstone, about 5 miles to the east.</p><br>
<p>Balderhead Reservoir was constructed upstream of two existing reservoirs, Blackton and Hury, and added 3,500 e6impgal to the storage capacity on the River Balder.</p><br>
<p>Construction of the Balderhead dam began in 1961 and was finished in 1964, with the reservoir being filled during 1965. The dam, which was built of compacted boulder clay and shale, is 157 feet high and 3,000 feet long, and became, at completion, the highest earth dam constructed in the British Isles.</p><br>
<p>Balderhead Reservoir was commissioned by the Tees Valley and Cleveland Water Board (TVCWB) to increase water supply to Teesdale. Under the Water Act 1973, ownership of the TVCWB&#39;s reservoirs, which included the three Baldersdale reservoirs and two others &mdash; Selset and Grassholme &mdash; on the River Lune a short distance to the north, was transferred to the Northumbrian Water Authority (NWA). In 1989, NWA was privatised, and the reservoirs are now owned and operated by Northumbrian Water. All five reservoirs supply a water treatment works at Lartington, just south of Cotherstone.</p><br>
<p>Heracleion , also known as Thonis , was an ancient Egyptian city located near the Canopic Mouth of the Nile, about 32 km northeast of Alexandria. Its ruins are located in Abu Qir Bay, currently 2.5 km off the coast, under 10 m of water. Its legendary beginnings go back to as early as the 12th century BC, and it is mentioned by ancient Greek historians. Its importance grew particularly during the waning days of the Pharaohs. In the Late Period, it was Egypt&#39;s main port for international trade and collection of taxes.</p><br>
<p>Heracleion was originally built on some adjoining islands in the Nile Delta, and was intersected by canals. It had a number of harbors and anchorages and was the sister city of Naucratis until it was superseded by Alexandria.</p><br>
<h2>Legendary beginnings</h2><br>
<p>Heracleion was said by Herodotus to have been visited by Paris and Helen of Troy. It was believed that Paris and Helen were stranded there on their flight from the jealous Menelaus, before the Trojan war began or that Menelaus and Helen had stayed there, accommodated by the noble Egyptian Thon and Polydamna. The 2nd century BC Greek poet Nicander wrote that Menelaus’s helmsman, Canopus, was bitten by a viper on the sands of Thonis. Also, it was believed that Heracles himself had visited the city, resulting in the Greeks calling it by the Greek name Heracleion rather than its original Egyptian name Thonis.</p><br>
<h2>Ancient references</h2><br>
<p>The city was mentioned by the ancient historians Diodorus (1.19.4) and Strabo (17.1.16). Herodotus was told that Thonis was the warden of the Canopic mouth of the Nile: Thonis arrested Alexander (Paris), the son of Priam, because Alexander had abducted Helen of Troy and taken much wealth.</p><br>
<p>Heracleion is also mentioned in the twin steles of the Decree of Nectanebo I (the first of which is known as the Stele of Naukratis), which specify that one tenth of the taxes on imports passing through the town of Thonis/Herakleion were to be given to the sanctuary of Neith of Sais. The city is also mentioned in the Decree of Canopus honoring Pharaoh Ptolemy III, which describes donations, sacrifices and a procession on water.</p><br>
<p>Sanctuaries in Heracleion dedicated to Osiris and other gods were famous for miraculous healing and attracted pilgrims from a wide area. The city was the site of the celebration of the ‘mysteries of Osiris&#39; each year during the month of Khoiak. The god in his ceremonial boat was brought in procession from the temple of Amun in that city to his shrine in Canopus.</p><br>
<h2>Archaeology</h2><br>
<p>The city had a large temple of Khonsou, son of Amun, who was known to the Greeks as Herakles. Later, the worship of Amun became more prominent.</p><br>
<p>Heracleion flourished especially from the 6th to the 4th century BC, as revealed by numerous archaeological finds. Pharaoh Nectanebo I made many additions to the temple in the 4th century B.C. The city sank in the 3rd or 2nd century AD, probably due to liquefaction of the silts on which it was built following earth tremors.</p><br>
<p>The ruins submerged in the sea were located by the French underwater archaeologist Franck Goddio in 1999. Until then, the scholars were not sure if Heracleion and Thonis were in fact one and the same city. Goddio&#39;s finds have included incomplete statues of the god Serapis and the queen Arsinoe II.</p><br>
<p>Great Links Tor is a prominent tor on the north-western flank of Dartmoor, Devon, England. It is visible for a considerable distance on the approach to the moor from the west. It is one of the highest points on Dartmoor, standing 1,924 ft above sea level and is dominated by a monolithic outcropping of granite some 40 ft high. There is an OS Triangulation point on a block to the west of the main outcrop, which is where most who visit the tor will climb to. The highest outcrop is inaccessible without a climb, the easiest route being up the eastern chimely . Other routes can be found http://www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/crag.php?id=1375 here. Close by are the remains of the Rattlebrook Peat Works at Rattlebrook Head and the ruins of the appropriately named &#39;Bleak House&#39;.</p><br>
<p>Salisbury Island,  is an island located in the central area of Franz Josef Land, Russia.</p><br>
<p>Salisbury Island is relatively large and long, having a surface of 960 km². Its highest point is 482 m and practically the entire surface of the island is glacierized.</p><br>
<p>Salisbury Island is part of the Zichy Land subgroup of the Franz Josef Archipelago. It has very little open sea around it, being wedged between Luigi Island and Champ Island on its southwestern shores, Ziegler Island in the northeast and Wiener Neustadt Island in the east.</p><br>
<p>This island was named after geology Professor Rollin D. Salisbury (1858-1922), of the University of Chicago. Salisbury was second-in-command on the Peary relief expedition.</p><br>
<p>Salisbury Island in the Franz Josef Archipelago should not be confused with Salisbury Island, in Canada.</p><br>
<h2>Adjacent Islands</h2><br>
<p>*Elisabeth Island (Остров Елизаветы; Ostrov Yelizavety) is a 5 km long oval-shaped island lying 7 km off Salisbury Island&#39;s northwestern end. Unglacierized; highest point 121 m. This island was named after Archduchess Elisabeth Marie of Austria, daughter of Crown Prince Rudolf, after whom Rudolf Island, Franz Josef Land&#39;s northernmost island, was named.</p><br>
<p>*Ostrova Kuchina (Острова Кучина). These are two very small islets off Salisbury Island&#39;s northeastern coast; one of them is very close to the shore. They were named after Russian Arctic explorer Alexander Kuchin, the only Russian on Amundsen’s expedition to the South Pole on the Fram. Kuchin was lost in Vladimir Rusanov&#39;s ill-fated expedition from Spitsbergen on ship Gerkules in 1912.</p><br>
<h2>View</h2><br>
<p>The Tushar Mountains are the third highest mountain range in Utah after the Uinta Mountains and the La Sal Range. Located in the Fishlake National Forest, Delano Peak, 12,174 ft  NAVD 88, is the highest point in both Beaver and Piute counties and has a prominence of 4,689 ft . Delano Peak is named for Columbus Delano , Secretary of the Interior during the Grant administration. The Tushars receive an ample amount of snow annually even though they are situated within the rainshadow of the Sierra Mountain Range located in California and the Snake Range located in Nevada.</p><br>
<p>The main part of the range is in Beaver, Piute and Sevier counties. The northwestern corner extends into the southeastern corner of Millard County and the southern end extends into the corners of Garfield and Iron counties.</p><br>
<p>The Tushars are bounded roughly by I-15 to the west, I-70 to the north, US–89 to the east and U–20 to the south. U–153 crosses the southern part of the range between Beaver and Junction.</p><br>
<h2>Prominent peaks</h2><br>
<p>Mount Belknap 12,137 feet (3,693.87 meters)</p><br>
<p>Mount Baldy 12,090 feet (3,685.03 meters)</p><br>
<p>Mount Brigham 11,709 feet (3,568.90 meters)</p><br>
<p>Edna Peak 11,654 feet (3,552.14 meters)</p><br>
<p>Copper Belt Peak 11,358 feet (3,461.92 meters)</p><br>
<p>Circleville Mountain 11,338 ft (3,455.82 meters)</p><br>
<h2>Geology and landforms</h2><br>
<p>The peaks of the Tushars were formed between 22 and 32 million years ago by volcanic activity that included a calamitous explosion that blew off the top of a massive peak. At the cusp of the Great Basin, the range also shares characteristics of the Colorado Plateau Province to the east.</p><br>
<p>Geologically complex, this area dominated by past volcanism, is composed of lava flows, ash flow tuffs from calderas, volcanic domes, cinder cones, rhyolite, basalt-like rocks, conglomerate, and metals such as gold, molybdenum and uranium. The area contains developed and undeveloped geothermal activity, fluorite, and the hydrothermally-altered rocks of Big Rock Candy Mountain.</p><br>
<p>The Tushars have at least seven high alpine glaciated canyons, Cottonwood Canyon, North Fork of Cottonwood Canyon, South Fork Basin, The Pocket Basin, Bullion Basin, Beaver Basin and City Creek Basin. All were heavily glaciated during the last ice age.</p><br>
<h2>Watershed</h2><br>
<p>The Tushars contain a variety of annual and perennial streams that receive their flow from annual snowpack. The entire watershed region is divided into two main watershed locations:</p><br>
<p>Beaver River originates in the Tushar Mountains east of Beaver at the confluence of the South Fork and several other creeks and springs. It drains west past Beaver and Milford and the southern end of the Mineral Range then turns north and disappears into the ground at the Beaver Bottoms near Red Rock Knoll and Black Rock in Millard County. In earlier days it was known for its large number of beaver colonies. Jedediah Smith called it "The Lost River" and Dominguez and Escalante called it "El Rio de Tejedor" (The Beaver River).</p><br>
<p>The Sevier River, extending 383 miles (616 km), is the longest Utah river entirely in the state and drains an extended chain of mountain farming valleys to the intermittent Sevier Lake. The Upper Sevier is used extensively for irrigation, and consequently Sevier Lake is now essentially dry. Sevier Lake is a remnant of Lake Bonneville, a freshwater lake that covered much of the western and north western portions of Utah.</p><br>
<p>Some of the more prominent creeks and streams are:</p><br>
<p>Clear Creek, Pine Creek, Beaver Creek, Cottonwood Creek and various other small steams which drain into the Sevier River. All the watershed from the Tushars has a final terminus in Sevier Lake located in western Utah and is part of the Great Basin. No water reaches any ocean from the Tushars.</p><br>
<h2>Ecology</h2><br>
<p>The Tushar Mountain range is part of a temperate coniferous forest ecoregion. Common trees include ponderosa pine, Rocky Mountain Douglas-fir, subalpine fir, Engelmann spruce, trembling aspen, and Gambel oak. The Tushars contain several old growth stands of pine, some of which are the oldest in the state of Utah.</p><br>
<h2>Plant Communities</h2><br>
<p>Diverse due to elevation change, the Tushars support alpine and sub-alpine vegetation, mountain meadows, dense aspen and spruce/fir stands, ponderosa pine and Douglas fir, mountain brush, sagebrush steppe, pinion-juniper woodlands, oak, mountain mahogany, and upland mountain grasslands. The area contains endemic species such as the Tushar Paintbrush, as well as rare and sensitive plants. Recent fires in the area, both natural and prescribed, have been of great benefit to vegetation, causing regeneration of Aspen and other species.</p><br>
<h2>Recreation</h2><br>
<p>Eagle Point ski resort is located on the western slopes and accessed from Beaver. The Tushar range is home to a host of other outdoor pursuits as well. Hundreds of miles of mountain biking and hiking trails wind through the canyons and alpine valleys of the Tushar Range offering back country access. The Tushars are also host to a vast portion of the Paiute ATV Trail system, one of the longest ATV trails of its type in the United States.</p><br>
<h2>Naturalness and other unique features</h2><br>
<p>The area possesses a very high degree of naturalness, palpable solitude, and nearly unlimited opportunities for primitive and unconfined recreation. The area contains a number of unique and special features. The Big Rock Candy Mountain Altered Zone, a site that is of truly national significance and are either unique to or distinctive of the Colorado Plateau. The Altered Zone unexcelled in the Colorado Plateau for showing the effects of hot water or hydrothermal alteration of igneous rocks and the development of clays in the weathering process associated with the late phases of igneous activity. The highly altered, brightly colored rocks associated with a variety of igneous intrusions and extrusions make the area distinct and virtually unique in the Colorado Plateau. Also found are outcrops of strongly jointed volcanic glass in Clear Creek Canyon along the I-70 corridor called the Skinner Canyon Ignimbrites a spectacular development and exposures of columnar joints in the rewelded ash flow tuffs here are almost unique in the Colorado Plateau because of the limited exposures of these types of volcanic rocks.</p><br>
<p>The Tushars can be easily accessed from several different locations: USA 89 through Marysvale, Junction and Circleville; I-15, through Beaver, Utah and from I-70 in Clear Creek Canyon.</p><br>
<p>George Hubbard Clapp Hall is a contributing property to the Schenley Farms National Historic District on the campus of the University of Pittsburgh in the Oakland section of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The six-story Gothic Revival structure, designed by Trautwein & Howard, was completed in 1956 and serves as the primary facility of the University of Pittsburgh Department of Biological Sciences. It contains laboratories, classrooms, a greenhouse, and an amphitheater-style lecture hall with 404 seats.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Clapp Hall was designed by Trautwein & Howard, a successor to architectural firm of Charles Klauder who designed the university&#39;s gothic Cathedral of Learning, Stephen Foster Memorial, and Heinz Memorial Chapel.</p><br>
<p>Clapp Halls exterior and interior spaces have been described as a mix of Collegiate Gothic and Art Deco. The building features a diagonally-positioned entrance that creates a direct axis with the Cathedral of Learning which is framed in Clapp Halls stone portal entryway. The building is clad in textured Indiana limestone to match the stone used on the Cathedral of Learning. The building’s use of aluminum windows has been suggested to be a quiet homage to the work of aluminum magnate George Hubbard Clapp, the building&#39;s namesake. The lobby of Clapp Hall is streamlined Art Deco in character, with terrazzo flooring and stainless steel doors, and is thus more stylistically modern than its exterior which is meant to reflect the Cathedral of Learning. It has been suggested that the lobby reveals a struggle in the design process to find a balance between the traditional gothic and more contemporary design elements.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Original plans slated Clapp Hall to be built adjacent to the Cathedral of Learning facing the Masonic Temple, on the south side of Fifth Avenue, between the Cathedral and Heinz Memorial Chapel. Concerns over adding more buildings to the Cathedral of Learning lawn and impinging on the lawn&#39;s rare open space prompted a change to its current site across Fifth Avenue and effectively ended above-ground development of the Cathedral lawn space.</p><br>
<p>The 3 acre plot of land that Clapp Hall was constructed on was purchased for $675,000 ($ million today) as a gift for the university by the A.W. Mellon Educational and Charitable Trust. Ground was broken for Clapp Hall in 1954 and the building was completed in 1956. The six-story building cost $2.5 million ($ million today) and it was initially used only for freshman chemistry, although other sciences soon moved into the building. it is conjoined with Langley and Crawford Halls, which were added in later stages, and forms the three-building Clapp/Langley/Crawford Complex. The triangular courtyard at the southwest entry to Clapp Hall, facing the Cathedral of Learning, was modified in 2004 to accommodate trees and benches.</p><br>
<p>The building is named for George Hubbard Clapp (1858–1949), an alumnus (class of 1877) and president of Pitt&#39;s Board of Trustees for more than 40 years. Clapp was one of five responsible for the first commercial production of aluminum and was a founder of the Aluminum Company of America.</p><br>
<h2>Use</h2><br>
<p>The six-story structure contains laboratories, classrooms, and an amphitheater-style lecture hall with 404 seats. A greenhouse, used mostly for teaching, is located on the four floor of Clapp Hall. Clapp Hall originally housed Pitt&#39;s Departments of Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Metallurgy, and Chemical Engineering. Today the Department of Biological Sciences occupies the building.</p><br>
<p>Île Illiec  is a small island located off the coast of Port-Blanc, Brittany, France.</p><br>
<p>In 1876, Ambroise Thomas constructed the three-storey house, chapel and conical tower that all currently stand on the island.</p><br>
<p>Île Illiec was purchased by the American aviator Charles Lindbergh, following the kidnapping and murder of his son in 1932 and his subsequent move to Europe in 1936. In March 1938, the family bought the 4 acre (≈16 000 m² or 127 x 127 m) island for $16,000, a cost of approximately $1 per square metre, but lived there only until December. The Lindbergh family returned to the USA in April 1939, shortly after the German occupation of Czechoslovakia.</p><br>
<p>The island is now privately owned by the Heidsieck family.</p><br>
<p>Sula  is an island in the municipality of Solund in Sogn og Fjordane county, Norway. The 116 km&sup2; island is the main island of the municipality. The island is located at the mouth of the Sognefjorden on the north side of the Sognesjøen, about 18 km east of Holmebåen, the westernmost point in Norway. The largest village on the island is Hardbakke. The other main village area is Hersvikbygda on the northern part of the island.</p><br>
<p>The island has a ferry service from the village of Krakhella to Rutledal in Gulen on the mainland and also to the village of Losnegard on the neighboring island of Losna, immediately to the east of Sula. Just southwest of Hardbakke, there is a bridge from Sula to the neighboring island of Steinsundøyna to the west. A narrow 65 m wide channel separates the two islands.</p><br>
<p>Tysnesøya or Tysnesøy is an island in Tysnes municipality in Hordaland county, Norway. The 198 km&sup2; island makes up the vast majority of the island municipality of Tysnes. The tallest point on the island is the 753 m tall mountain Tysnessåto.</p><br>
<p>The island lies in a large group of islands on the northern side of the mouth of the Hardangerfjorden. The Bjørnafjorden lies north of the island and the Langenuen strait runs along the west side of the island. The island of Reksteren lies to the northwest, Stord lies to the southwest, and the smaller islands of Skorpo and Huglo lie to the south of the island. The islands of Skorpo and Reksteren are connected to Tysnesøya by road bridges. The mainland lies just east of Tysnesøya, and there is a short road bridge connecting the two. The mainland municipalities of Fusa and Kvinnherad are located on the mainland, adjacent to Tysnes.</p><br>
<p>The island is rocky and mountainous in the north-central part of the island, while the rest of the island is more forested and hilly. The main agricultural areas are in the northeast and south. Some of the more notable villages on the island include the village of Våge in the north, Uggdal in the west, and Onarheim in the southeast.</p><br>
<p>Black Mountain is a mountain located in Catron County, New Mexico, on the northern boundary of the Gila Wilderness and in the Gila National Forest.</p><br>
<p>Black Mountain stands within the watershed of the Gila River, which drains into the Colorado River and thence into the Gulf of California in Mexico.</p><br>
<p>The eastern and northern slopes of Black Mountain drain into the East Fork of the Gila River; the western and southern sides drain into the Middle Fork.</p><br>

It is separated from Abel Island to the east-northeast by the seven nautical miles wide strait Lydiannasundet, and from Svenskøya to the west-southeast by Rivalensundet (15 nautical miles wide). The strait of Erik Eriksenstretet separates Kongsøya from Nordaustlandet.</p><br>
<p>Kongsøya has a long, narrow and bent shape, with a number of headlands and bays. At the southern side of Kongsøya is the wide open bay Breibukta, with several islets and skerries. The islands of Helgoland Island and Tirpitzøya are located south of Breibukta. Further east, between Tømmerneset and Bremodden, is the bay Andréebukta, and on the northern side is Svenskebukta. Further east is the bay Bünsowbukta, between the headlands of Nordneset and Kapp Koburg. The bay of Vrakbukta, between Kapp Koburg and Kennedyneset, faces northwest. To the south is the bay Antarcticbukta and the headland Kapp Altmann. At the southern side of the island, northeast of Kapp Altmann, is the long beach Snøsporvstranda.</p><br>

<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Kong Karls Land was possibly observed by whaler Thomas Edge in 1617. It was rediscovered in 1853, reported by Erik Eriksen. Hunters killed about 100 polar bears during the winter of 1908&ndash;1909. Cabins were built at Nordaustpynten, Kapp Koburg and Tømmerneset. In 1971 the polar bear was fully protected from hunting. In 1985 the whole Kong Karls Land, including Kongsøya. was totally protected against human traffic.</p><br>
<h2>Nature</h2><br>
<p>Kong Karls Land is regarded the most important hibernating area for polar bears in Svalbard. A density of 14 dens per square kilometer has been observed at Kongsøya. Kongsøya is included in the Nordaust-Svalbard Nature Reserve, which was established in 1973. In 1985 strong regulations of human traffic on the island were introduced. The purpose is to avoid disturbance of the polar bear at its most important denning locations. It is generally forbidden to visit any of the islands of Kong Karls Land. This also includes the sea area within a distance of 500 meters from the shore, and air traffic lower than 500 meters. Exceptions from the prohibition are supervision activities from the authorities, and to a certain extent scientific exploration or other special purposes, if this does not violate the purpose of the regulations.</p><br>

<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The island consists of an agglomeration of glaciated hills with the highest peak being the 1,029 m tall Hermannsdalstinden mountain. It is elongated from southwest to northeast and it is about 40 km long and 10 km wide. It also has a very uneven shoreline. The island is connected to the nearby island of Flakstadøya by the Kåkern Bridge which is part of the European route E10 which ends on the Moskenesøya island at the village of Å.</p><br>
<h2>Population</h2><br>
<p>There are many villages on the island. Flakstad municipality, on the northern part of the island, has several small villages including Fredvang, Selfjord, and Krystad. Moskenes municipality, on the southern part of the island, has the villages of Å, Hamnøy, Moskenes, Reine, Sakrisøy, Sørvågen, and Tind, all located on the eastern side of the island. There were settlements on the western coast, but the last ones were abandoned in 1950s owing to severe storms.</p><br>
<h2>Attractions</h2><br>
<p>Most villages are frequently visited by tourists and have designed small exhibits of local peculiarities. So Sakrisøy has a museum of 2,500 dolls from all over Europe. Sørvågen contains a local department of Norsk Telemuseum (Norwegian Telecom Museum) which reflects the local history of telegraphy. In 1861, the island became part of the 170 km long Lofoten telegraph line with a station in Sørvågen (which became the Sørvågen museum in 1914), and in 1867 the line was connected with Europe. In 1906, a wireless telegraph system was installed in Sørvågen – the second in Europe after Italy – connecting Sørvågen with Røst island.</p><br>
<p>The village of Å is a traditional fishing place and nearly its entire territory is the 150 years old Norwegian Fishing Village Museum, which includes the Lofoten Stockfish Museum, a forge, a bakery, and a cod liver oil factory.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In the beginning of World War II, the island was occupied by the German Army. In December 1941, it was the venue of the Operation Anklet – a British Commando raid carried out by 300 men from No. 12 Commando and the Norwegian Independent Company 1. The landing party was supported by 22 ships from three navies – British, Norwegian and Polish. As a result, two German radio transmitters were destroyed and several small boats were captured or sunk. Importantly an operational Enigma coding machine was obtained from one of the sunken German patrol ships. Also, about 200 local Norwegians volunteered to serve in the Free Norwegian Forces.</p><br>

<p>The Heyburn Building is a 17-floor, 250-foot  building in downtown Louisville, Kentucky, United States. In the early 20th century, it was an integral part of the "magic corner" of Fourth Street and Broadway, which rivaled Main Street as Louisville&#39;s business district. It occupies the lot that was the location of the Avery Mansion; this block of West Broadway had been a posh residential corridor prior to the commercial transition of which the Heyburn Building composed a part.</p><br>
<p>The Classical Revival-style Heyburn Building was completed in 1928. It was built by and named for William R. Heyburn, president of Belknap Hardware and Manufacturing Company. It was designed by the Graham, Anderson, Probst & White firm of Chicago. It was the tallest building in Kentucky until a vertical addition of the defunct Commonwealth Building was completed in 1955.</p><br>
<p>The Heyburn Building has since gone through several owners and renovations, the largest of which occurred in 1983 at a cost of $6 million. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<p>On January 21, 2010, a man committed suicide by jumping to his death from the building&#39;s top floor.</p><br>
<p>Bremangerlandet is an island in Bremanger Municipality in the traditional district of Nordfjord in Sogn og Fjordane county, Norway. The 153 km&sup2; island is the largest island in the county. The highest point on the island is the 889 m tall mountain Svartevassegga, however the cliff at Hornelen, located 1 km to the east, is more well-known and has an elevation of 860 m. The 4 km long lake Dalevatnet is located in the central part of the island.</p><br>
<p>The island is located northeast of the smaller island of Frøya. Bremangerlandet island lies on the southern side of the mouth of the large Nordfjorden and the island of Vågsøy lies on the north side of the fjord&#39;s mouth. The small island of Husevågøy lies in the middle of the fjord, just north of Bremangerlandet.</p><br>
<p>The island is connected to the island of Frøya (to the southwest) by a series of bridges. There is a ferry connection to Husevågøy and Vågsøy islands to the north. There is also a road that connects Bremangerlandet to the island of Rugsundøya by the Skatestraum Tunnel (and then Rugsundøya connects to the mainland via a bridge). To the southeast, the island is separated from the mainland by the Frøysjøen strait.</p><br>
<p>The main population center on the island is the village of Bremanger, where Bremanger Church is located. The 0.65 km&sup2; village has a population (2012) of 366, giving the village a population density of 563 PD/km2. The village of Berle is located on the eastern side of the island, and it is home to Berle Church.</p><br>
<h2>Name</h2><br>
<p>The meaning of the name is "the (is)land of (the parish) Bremanger". The original name of the island must however have been Smöls. In Norse literature is the mountain Hornelen called Smalsarhorn, which means "the horn of (the island) Smöls". The old name is related to the word möl which means "bank made of stones and gravel". (For the missing s see the Indo-European s-mobile.)</p><br>

<h2>SALT</h2><br>
<p>"For thousands of years people have followed the movement of animals and the seasonal rhythms in the Arctic landscape. Footprints are few. SALT is inspired by and moves in that same Arctic landscape with care and respect."</p><br>
<p>The art project SALT is centred on three architectural structures inspired by the fish rack, developed by the Finnish architect Sami Rintala, and opened on August 29, 2014, on the spectacular Langsanden, at Sandhornøya in the municipality of Gildeskål.</p><br>
<p>In the fish rack the Chinese artist Yang Fudong created a site specific outdoor film installation for the beach.</p><br>
<p>Edwin H. Cheney House  located in Oak Park, Illinois, United States, was Frank Lloyd Wright&#39;s design of this residence for electrical engineer Edwin Cheney. The house is part of the Frank Lloyd Wright-Prairie School of Architecture Historic District. It is a brick house with the living and sleeping rooms all on one floor under a single hipped roof . Here, however, there is a less monumental and more intimate quality to the house partly because it is not raised a full story off the ground, and partly because of the way its windows are nestled in between the wide eaves of the roof and the substantial stone sill that girdles the house.</p><br>
<p>The living rooms, which take up the entire front of the house and open onto the walled terrace at the center, are trimmed in fir. Together they form a single longitudinal space under a continuous ceiling carried up in the form of a hip roof, the whole subdivided into dining room, living room, and library by wooden posts and cabinets. The basement features a large in-law suite. The house is currently a bed-and-breakfast inn.</p><br>
<p>It was this commission that precipitated the celebrated love affair between Wright, and Mamah Borthwick Cheney, the climax of which occurred in 1909 when Wright abandoned his architectural practice and left with Mrs. Cheney for a year in Europe. This era of Wright&#39;s life ended in 1914 when Mrs. Cheney and her children were murdered at Taliesin by an insane servant.</p><br>
