<p>The Carlton County Courthouse in Carlton, Minnesota, United States, is the county seat of Carlton County, Minnesota. The county seat was originally located in Cloquet, with a jail located at the town of Northern Pacific Junction. In 1890, residents of Northern Pacific Junction raised funds to build a courthouse, which was a two-story brick building with a high-pitched gable roof. The current building took about two years to build, being completed in 1924. It is a three-story building with cream-colored brick and stone.</p><br>
<p>The Carlton County Vidette praised Clyde Kelly, the architect, with these words: "Unquestionably, the man who assumes the responsibility of being the architect for a building like this is entitled to great consideration. To him is left the superintending of the placing of every stock and stone in the building... to make the structure as perfect as possible."</p><br>
<p>The John Street United Methodist Church &ndash; also known as Old John Street Methodist Episcopal Church &ndash; located at 44 John Street between Nassau and William Streets in the Financial District of Manhattan, New York City was built in 1841 in the Georgian style, with the design attributed to William Hurry and/or Philip Embury.</p><br>
<p>The Society built its first church, the Wesley Chapel, a blue stucco barn, on this site in 1768. Timber from the Chapel was later used in building the Bowery Village Methodist Church and the Park Avenue United Methodist Church. The second church on this site was built in 1817-18, and the extravagance of the building provoked a secession from the congregation by Rev. William Stillwell. The third church, the current one, was necessitated by the widening of John Street.</p><br>
<p>The church was designated a New York City Landmark in 1964 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. In 1984, the church sold its air rights to 33 Maiden Lane.</p><br>
<p>Hymnist Fanny Crosby was a member of the church congregation for many years.</p><br>
<h2>Museum</h2><br>
<p>Below the sanctuary, the Wesley Chapel Museum displays many artifacts from eighteenth- and nineteenth-century American Methodist history. These include church record books, the Wesley Clock (a gift of John Wesley, 1769), love feast cups, class meeting circular benches, the original 1785 altar rail, the original 1767 pulpit made by Philip Embury, and Embury&#39;s signed Bible.</p><br>

<p>Hay Castle  is a medieval fortification and 17th-century mansion house in the small town of Hay-on-Wye in Powys, Wales. Originally constructed as part of the Norman invasion of Wales, the castle was designed as a ringwork overlooking the town in either the late-11th or early-12th centuries. It was rebuilt in stone around 1200 by the de Braose family and then had a turbulent history, being attacked and burnt several times during the First and Second Barons&#39; Wars, the wars with the Welsh princes, the rebellion of Owain Glyndŵr and the Wars of the Roses. In the 17th century a Jacobean mansion house was built alongside the medieval keep and the property became a private home. Serious fires in 1939 and 1977 gutted the castle and, despite repairs in the 1980s, by the 21st century much of the building was derelict and unstable. Since 2011 it has been owned by the Hay Castle Trust who plan to renovate the property to form an arts and education centre.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>11th–16th centuries</h3><br>
<p>The Normans began to make incursions into South Wales from the late-1060s onwards, pushing westwards from their bases in recently occupied England. Their advance was marked by the construction of castles and the creation of regional lordships. The Norman adventurer Bernard de Neufmarché conquered Brecknock in 1091 and assigned the manor of Hay to one of his followers, Philip Walwyn. The first castle in Hay, later abandoned, was built by St Mary&#39;s church outside the main settlement, where a motte known as Hay Tump still survives. The English lordship of Hay, known as Hay Anglicana, became a wealthy walled town and the lands passed by marriage to Miles of Gloucester and then into the de Braose family. In the late 11th or early 12th century, a new fortification was built inside Hay-on-Wye itself, on high ground around 200 m from the old motte, taking the form of an earth ringwork with a stone gate-tower.</p><br>
<p>The de Braose dynasty expanded Hay Castle in stone around 1200 with a curtain wall reinforced by intramural timbers, turning the gate-tower into a keep. The castle tenants used the chapel of St John in the town for their worship. During the First Barons War, Reginald de Braose joined the alliance against King John who successfully attacked the castle in 1215. The Welsh prince Llewelyn the Great attacked and burnt the town and castle in 1231 and the castle was then rebuilt by Henry III in 1233. During the Second Barons War, Prince Edward captured the castle in 1263 but it was recaptured and burnt by Simon de Montfort and Llywelyn ap Gruffudd the following year. It was further damaged by the Welsh rebellion led by Owain Glyndŵr around 1401 and in 1460 during the Wars of the Roses. By the time the antiquarian John Leland visited in the 16th century, the town of Hay was "wonderfully decaied" although the castle was described as having once "bene right stately".</p><br>
<h3>17th–19th centuries</h3><br>
<p>Hay Castle was substantially expanded in the 17th century, creating a Jacobean mansion. Two explanations have been offered by historians for this redevelopment. One option is that during the first half of the 17th century, Howell Gwynne built a manor house to the west of the old keep, which was replaced by a new mansion in 1660 by James Boyle of Hereford. Another reverses this sequence, suggesting that James Boyle left the castle to Howell Gwynne in 1603, and that the mansion was built at the beginning of the century.</p><br>
<p>In either case, the Jacobean building was two storeys tall, three with its facade included, and featured seven dormer gables in a Dutch style and a large staircase. It was built from stone and incorporated the upper floors of the old keep into its design. Formal gardens were constructed outside the keep either around the start of the 17th century or after 1660. In 1702, the house was divided up among different tenants, and passed into the hands of the local Wellington family. Until 1812, the basement of the keep was used to supplement the town gaol.</p><br>
<p>In 1809, the industrialist Sir Joseph Bailey leased the castle, going on to purchase it outright in 1844, and established a walled kitchen garden known as Castle Gardens to the south-west of the main castle. It was used as a vicarage from 1825 onwards, including by Archdeacon William Bevan. The terraced gardens were maintained during the 19th century, with various trees planted behind the castle in the 1860s and 1870s, and a stable block was built within the grounds.</p><br>
<h3>20th–21st centuries</h3><br>
<p>Between 1904 and 1906 the castle was rented by the Morell family, after which it was occupied by the Dowager Lady Glanusk. The architect W. D. Caroe was employed to restore the house in 1910 and it was sold to the banker Benjamin Guiness in 1937. A major fire then destroyed the interior of the eastern side of the castle in 1939. Around 1961, the castle was acquired by Richard Booth who used it as a bookstore and as a location for parties, with a holiday cottage in the grounds. Much of the walled garden was sold for development in 1975, and another fire in 1977 destroyed the interior of the western half of the castle: repairs were carried out from the 1980s onwards.</p><br>
<p>In 2011 the castle was sold for around £2 million to the Hay Castle Trust, who intended to turn it into an arts and education centre. The firm of Rick Mather Architects were taken on in 2015 to manage the work at a projected cost of £4.35 million, to include a new art gallery and a viewing point at the top of the keep. A grant of £528,600 from the Heritage Lottery Fund in 2014 supported initial planning, and further grants were given by the Country Houses Foundation and the Headley Trust.</p><br>
<p>The castle site is now approximately 110 by across. As of 2015, the derelict, roofless parts of the castle are in a poor structural condition and infested with ivy, with other parts suffering from death watch beetle. None of the earthworks or curtain wall survive, except for a small portion next to the gateway; this fragment of wall is 6 ft thick and shows the original bank to have been as much as 25 ft high when viewed from the outside, but is now in danger of collapse. The wooden door on the left side of the gateway probably dates from around 1300, and the right door from the early-17th century, but they are currently unusable. There are some limited remains of the old walled garden interspersed in the modern housing estate. The main castle site is protected under law as a Grade I listed building.</p><br>
<p>Björkö is an island in Korsholm municipality , Finland. It is situated in the Kvarken area of the Gulf of Bothnia. The chief settlement is called Björköby. In addition to the main island, the Björkö area includes 350 skerries and its total area is 72 km. In 1973, the Björköby municipality merged to Korsholm.</p><br>
<p>During the Swedish reign over Finland, the island was notable for being a post transport base in the archipelago on the Finnish side. Mail was ferried by the inhabitants of Björkö to the islands of Holmöarna, Sweden. They got reductions in taxes and exemption from military service for this (strategic) service.</p><br>
<p>Ferry services to the regional capital Vaasa began in 1907 and in 1954, a causeway was built to the major island of the archipelago, Replot, which was connected to the mainland by a car ferry. In 1997, the Replot bridge finally connected also Björkö to the mainland by road.</p><br>
<p>Holsnøy is an island in Meland municipality, Hordaland county, Norway. The 88.8 km&sup2; island is the largest island in the municipality, and it makes up 98% of the land area of Meland municipality. The highest point on the island is the 324 m tall Eldsfjellet, a mountain located about 2 km north of the village of Rossland. The island is hilly and marshy, with the majority of the residents living along the southern shore. The largest settlement on the island is the village of Frekhaug on the southern shore. The island lies to the north/west of the mainland, between the islands of Radøy to the north and Askøy to the south.</p><br>
<p>The island is connected to the mainland road network by a series of bridges. The Krossnessundet Bridge connects the southern tip of the island to the small island of Flatøy, just to the east. The island of Flatøy is connected to Knarvik to the east on the mainland Lindås peninsula by the Hagelsund Bridge and Flatøy is also connected to Bergen to the south on the Åsane peninsula by the Nordhordland Bridge.</p><br>
<h2>Frekhaug Manor</h2><br>
<p>Frekhaug Manor (Frekhaug hovedgård) is a manor house located on the southeast side of Holsnøy. The main house is a notched, two-story log house of painted white panel with a hipped roof. The building has a portal in rococo. The building was probably built in the 1780s and is surrounded by granite walls. In 1780, the farm was bought by skipper Cort Abrahamsen Holtermann (1730–1813). Since 1914 the farm and manor house have been owned by the Nordhordland home mission (Nordhordland indremisjon).</p><br>
<p>Okidaitōjima, also spelled as Oki Daitō Island or Oki-Daitō or Oki-no-Daitō, previously known as Rasa Island, is an abandoned island in the Daitō Islands group southeast of Okinawa, Japan. It is administered as part of the village of Kitadaitō, Shimajiri District, Okinawa.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Okidaitōjima is a relatively isolated coralline island, located approximately 110 km south of Minamidaitōjima, the latest island of the archipelago, and 160 km south of Kitadaitōjima. Naha, Okinawa, is 408 km to the northwest. As with the other islands in the archipelago, Okidaitōjima is an uplifted coral atoll with a steep coastal cliff of limestone (the former fringing coral reef of the island), and a depressed center (the former lagoon of the island). The island is roughly triangular in shape, with a circumference of about 4.5 km and an area of 1.15 km&sup2;. The highest point is 33 m above sea level.</p><br>
<p>Due to extensive phosphate mining operations in the early 20th century, and decades of use as a bombing and gunnery range by the United States Navy, the island has very little topsoil and no trees.</p><br>
<p>Okidaitō has a humid subtropical climate (Köppen climate classification Cfa) with very warm summers and mild winters. Precipitation is significant throughout the year; the wettest month is June and the driest month is February. The island is subject to frequent typhoons.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>It was first sighted by the Spanish navigator Bernardo de la Torre on 25 September 1543, during his abortive attempt to reach New Spain from the Philippines with the San Juan de Letran. It was then charted as Abreojos (Keep your eyes open!) because being so flat and almost water level it was dangerous for navigation. It was later sighted by a Manila galleon on 28 July 1587, commanded by Pedro de Unamuno who charted the Daitōs as the Islas sin Provecho (Useless Islands). Another Manila galleon, the Nuestra Señora de la Consolación commanded by Felipe Tompson, reported its sighting in 1773 and charted it as Isla Dolores. Its sighting was also reported by the British in 1788 and named "Grampus Island", but the recorded coordinates were not correct. The French also reported sighting an island in 1807. However, in 1815, the last Manila Galleon, the Spanish frigate San Fernando de Magallanes, made a definite sighting at the present coordinates, and named the island "Isla Rasa" (Flat Island in Spanish). The island remained uninhabited until formally claimed by the Empire of Japan in 1900. In 1907, a team of pioneers from Hachijōjima, one of the Izu Islands located 287 km south of Tokyo, led by Tamaoki Han&#39;emon (1838–1910), who had previously pioneered settlement on Minamidaitōjima, became the first human inhabitants of the island. The island was surveyed in 1908 by Tsuneto Noritaka, a professor with the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce, who recommended that its guano resources be exploited for fertilizer. "The Rasa Island Phosphate Ore Company" (ラサ島燐礦株式會社; today: Rasa Kōgyō KK) was created in 1911 for this purpose and also for the export of sugar. During this period (1911–1945), Okidaitōjima was inhabited by up to 2000 people, with a settlement was located in the west of the island. Until 1929, the population was exclusively male and consisted of workers from Okinawa and managers from Hachijojima. The disparity in wages led to labor unrest in the 1920s.</p><br>
<p>Mining operations were halted from 1929 to 1940 for economic reasons, but were resumed in 1940 due to the need for phosphates in explosives. The inhabitants were evacuated to mainland Okinawa in 1945 due to the increasing threat of attack during World War II.</p><br>
<p>After World War II, the island was occupied by the United States and was used as a bombing range by the United States Navy. The island was returned to Japan in 1972, and remains the private property of Rasa Industries.</p><br>
<h2>Self-Defense Force Exercises</h2><br>
<p>In late October 2013 it was announced that Okidaitojima would be the site of large scale exercises by the JSDF, including live fire naval exercises and amphibious landings, intended to test the JSDF&#39;s ability to defend remote islands against hostile incursions. These would be among the largest exercises ever held by the JSDF, involving at least 34,000 troops along with vessels and aircraft.</p><br>
<p>Rebbenesøya  is an island in Troms county, Norway. The southern third of the 80.6 km&sup2; island is part of the municipality of Tromsø while the northern  portion of the island is part of Karlsøy municipality. There is a regular ferry connection from Bromnes on the eastern end on Rebbensøya to Mikkelvik on the northwestern end of the neighboring island of Ringvassøya.</p><br>
<p>Twelve Norwegian commandos from Company Linge were attacked by a German minesweeper in Toftefjord on the island of Rebbenesøya on 30 March 1943. The only person who managed to escape was Jan Baalsrud, who managed to escape to Sweden. A monument to those killed is located in Toftefjord. Baalsrud&#39;s flight is referred to in the novel Nine Lives, which was later made into a film, also called Nine Lives.</p><br>
<p>On Rebbenesøya, there are many mountains that are suitable for tourists who enjoy the outdoors and hiking. The highest point on the island is Geittinden at a height of 694 m. There are also about 20 fishing lakes.</p><br>
<p>The island&#39;s school is in Skogvika with 6 students (2012/2013). The island also has a convenience store located in Engvika.</p><br>
<p>Dail Mòr  is a hamlet situated in the Northside of Carloway, a major settlement on the Isle of Lewis in Scotland. The hamlet has a beach and a cemetery. A small well kept car park is available for visitors as are picnic & public BBQ facilities. The beach is a known surf destination mentioned in numerous guidebooks. Note there is a strong rip current at the north end of the beach.</p><br>
<p>Despite its remoteness, five of the six houses in the village were connected to fibre broadband in November 2012.</p><br>
<p>In August 2016, the Transocean Winner oil rig ran aground, on a headland just off Dalmore beach. The oil rig was being towed from Norway to Malta, when it became detached from the tug boat.</p><br>
<h2>Archaeology</h2><br>
<p>Excavations were conducted at Dail Mòr in the autumn of 1982 by Gerald and Margaret Ponting when part of the sea wall collapsed near the beach. This was further excavated by Sharples and Curtis. Prehistoric stone structures were found and documented, suggested to be a dwelling, along with various artefacts left in place by Beaker culture with some earlier finds from the neolithic. These included tools made of bone or antler and pottery. A large number of flints and arrowheads found during excavations and on the beach nearby suggest the area may have been used for a workshop of their manufacture. One noted artefact recovered was the Dalmore bone; a square-sectioned 34mm with perforation. Zig-zag markings just over 5mm apart on the bone were analysed by P.J. Scott and Margaret Ponting.</p><br>
<p>The Green–Meldrim House is a historic house at 14 West Macon Street, on the northwest corner of Madison Square in Savannah, Georgia. Built in the 1850s, it was designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1976 as one of the American Souths finest and most lavish examples of Gothic Revival architecture. The house is owned by the adjacent St. Johns Episcopal Church, which offers tours and uses it as a meeting and reception space.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Green–Meldrim House is located on the west side of Madison Square in central Savannah, at the southwest corner of West Harris and Bull Streets. West Macon Street, the houses address, is a spur street off Whitaker Street, which runs behind the property. The houses principal facade faces south, with a porch and garden facing the square. The house is among the best-known examples of the Gothic Revival style in the South, with a stuccoed brick exterior, cast-iron porch, oriel windows, and an imposing front cast-iron fence. The main entrance has an iron portico believed to be unique in the United States, with octagonal posts supported a pair of arches. A crenellated parapet rings the roof. The interior of the house, following a center-hall plan, retains original woodwork, plaster, and ironwork, the latter featuring a freestanding staircase.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was designed and built between 1853 and 1861 at a cost of $93,000 by the architect John Norris. The property&#39;s first owner was Charles Green, a wealthy cotton merchant and grandfather of the writer Julien Green.</p><br>
<p>At this time, none of the original furniture is on display at the house. After the Union troops captured Savannah in 1864, Sherman occupied the house and used it as a headquarters until the end of the Civil War. It was in this house in December 1864 that Sherman composed his famous telegram to President Lincoln, in which he communicated his desire to present to the President "as a Christmas Gift the City of Savannah, with one hundred and fifty heavy guns and plenty of ammunition, and also about twenty-five thousand bales of cotton&quot the cotton belonged to Charles Green, the owner of the House. In 1892, local politician and judge Peter Meldrim purchased the property and lived in it a number of decades. In 1943, his heirs sold the house to St John&#39;s Church, which is located next door. Tours of the house are given during the day, and the church uses it for wedding receptions and after-church events.</p><br>

<p>The Cuivre River is a 41.6 mi river in the east central part of the state of Missouri, north of the Missouri River terminus. A good part of its course marks the borders between Lincoln and St. Charles counties before emptying into the Mississippi River north of St. Louis. The Cuivre River State Park near Troy has its southwestern borders on the river. The river is declared not to be a navigable stream.</p><br>
<p>The Cuivre River received its name from French-speaking settlers during the French Louisiana. The name means "copper", though none is present along the river, and it is thought to have been named after Baron Georges Leopold Cuvier, a French naturalist and paleontologist, who was first to do comparative anatomy and the classification of animals and fossils. When France acquired the territory west of the Mississippi River, Cuvier sent two of his students to America to get specimens of flora and fauna and to assess the climate and topography of the new acquisition. When the young men reached the river in what is now the Lincoln County area, it was known to the local French as Rivière aux Boeufs because of the numerous bison roaming its banks. The two scientists decided a more impressive name for the stream would be "Cuvier", and labeled it such on their maps. When the English-speaking settlers arrived, the spelling was changed to "Cuivre" and the pronunciation anglicized to "Quiver".</p><br>
<p>The Battle of the Sink Hole was fought near the mouth of the Cuivre at the end of the War of 1812.</p><br>
<p>Ingarö is an island in Värmdö Municipality, Stockholm County. The chief settlement is called Brunn. With an area of 63 km, it is the 16th biggest island in Sweden. Petroglyphs indicate that the island has been inhabited since the Nordic Bronze Age. For most of the 20th century the resident population decreased, while at the same time many vacation homes were built. However, in recent years population has grown as new homes are being built and vacation homes are being converted into permanent homes. Improved communications has made it feasible to commute to Stockholm.</p><br>
<p>In Ingarö cemetery lie the remains of the first Swedish aviator, Carl Cederström, also known as Kalle Flygare. The island has a 36-hole golf course, as well as tennis courts. A nude beach is located at Återvallssjön, the first of its kind in Sweden.</p><br>
<p>Ingarö has been the location for movie-making, including parts of the 1993 film Sune&#39;s Summer and parts of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo featuring Daniel Craig.</p><br>
<p>On 14 June 2008, Esbjorn Svensson (great pianist for the jazz band E.S.T) went missing during a scuba diving session. His diving companions, including an instructor and his then 14-year-old son, eventually found him lying unconscious on the seabed at 44 years old.</p><br>
<p>Semington Aqueduct is an aqueduct at Semington, Wiltshire, England, UK. It carries the Kennet and Avon Canal over the Semington Brook.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Kennet and Avon Canal was the realisation of a plan to link the River Avon to the River Thames and hence Bristol to London, which had first been suggested in the late 1500s, during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. The canal was surveyed by John Rennie and following a change of route, which resulted in the canal passing through Devizes and hence Semington, rather than Marlborough and Calne, an Act of Parliament was obtained in 1794 to authorise the plan and work began. The eastern section opened first, with the line from Newbury and the River Kennet to Hungerford opening in 1798, and from there to Great Bedwyn opening the following year. The western section through Semington was partially complete by this time, and was finished by 1804, but there were two gaps to be filled. These were the locks at Bath which connected the canal to the River Avon, and those at Devizes, which overcame a difference in level of 237 ft, both of which were completed in 1810, enabling the canal to open throughout on 28 December.</p><br>
<p>Rennie&#39;s route passed to the north of Seend. To the west of the village, the Semington Brook flows northwards and then turns to the west, to join the Avon at Whaddon. The canal sweeps to the south to join the valley, and runs along its north bank to reach Semington. For the canal to head towards Trowbridge, a smaller bend was needed to cross the valley, with an aqueduct to carry it over the brook. The contract for the construction of the aqueduct was won by James McIlquham and James Porteous. Both had worked together on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal and Porteus had been asked by Rennie to quote for the aqueduct over the River Lune on the Lancaster Canal, but had failed to secure the contract. The contract for the Semington aqueduct also included construction of the aqueduct at Avoncliff, to the west of Bradford-on-Avon, and both were completed successfully, as the two men went on to win the contract for the Dundas Aqueduct at Limpley Stoke.</p><br>
<h2>Design</h2><br>
<p>The aqueduct consists of a single stilted segmental arch, mainly constructed of limestone ashlar masonry, although some repairs have been made with engineering bricks. On both sides of the structure there is a rectangular moulded panel, but no evidence that it ever carried an inscription. It has been a grade II listed structure since 1988.</p><br>
<p>Engeløya is an island in the northern part of the municipality of Steigen in Nordland county, Norway. The island has an area of 69 km&sup2;. The highest point on the island is the 649 m Trohornet mountain. The rocky, mountainous island has grassy slopes that are fertile and it has some of the better farmland in the municipality.</p><br>
<p>Engeløya is connected to the mainland by the Engeløy Bridges. The Engeløy Airport, Grådussan is located on the northwestern tip of the island. Steigen Church is located on the southwestern side of the island.</p><br>
<p>The name Engeløya translates as "Angel Island" in English.</p><br>
<p>During WWII, the German Battery Dietl was constructed with three 40.6 cm SK C/34 guns as part of the Atlantic Wall.</p><br>
<p>New Semington Aqueduct carries the Kennet and Avon Canal over the carriageway of the A350 road Trowbridge Bypass, at Semington in west Wiltshire, England. Although the construction of new canals is no longer common practice in England, new aqueducts such as this are sometimes built in relation to new roads or road widening schemes.</p><br>
<h2>Details</h2><br>
<p>The new aqueduct was built under the provisions of The Wiltshire County Council (Semington Aqueduct) Scheme 2000, later confirmed on 17 July 2002, as Statutory Instrument No. 1868. It was part of a road-building scheme to provide a bypass for the villages of Semington, to the west of the new structure, and Berryfield to the north of the canal, ending on the southern edge of Melksham. In order to provide the necessary headroom of 5.5 m, the road was built in a cutting at this point.</p><br>
<p>The new structure is on the line of the original canal. In order to allow it to be built without closing the canal for the duration of the project, the canal was temporarily diverted to the south of its existing route, from the head of Semington Top Lock to a point 220 m to the east. Since the towpath is on the north bank of the canal at this point, temporary foot bridges were built over the canal, so that the towpath could follow the diversion, and avoid the work site. The road was planned as a dual carriageway, with the 30.3 m structure resting on piers at both ends protected by wing walls and a pier built on the central reservation protected by safety barriers, but only one carriageway was built and there is no central pier. The area where the second carriageway would have been is grassed.</p><br>
<p>The aqueduct has two channels, separated by a 800 mm central spine. Each of the channels is 5.4 m wide by 2 m deep, providing a navigable width of 5 m, since rubberised fenders are fitted to both sides to protect the concrete structure from abrasion by boats. There is another 800 mm wall at the edge of the channel, and the 3.5 m towpath on the north side is separated from it by a 1.5 m environment corridor. A similar arrangement has been provided on the south side, for maintenance purposes. The concrete structure incorporates 529 tonnes of steel reinforcement, and the cost of the bypass scheme was £12 million. The aqueduct was opened on 3 March 2004 by Fleur de Rhé-Philipe, representing Wiltshire County Council. The structure was designed by Ove Arup and Partners, and built by the civil engineering contractor Alfred McAlpine.</p><br>
<p>The Owens–Thomas House is a historic home in Savannah, Georgia that is operated as a historic house museum by Telfair Museums. It is located at 124 Abercorn Street, on the northeast corner of Oglethorpe Square. The Owens–Thomas House was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1976, as one of the nation&#39;s finest examples of English Regency architecture.</p><br>
<h2>Architectural style and house history</h2><br>
<p>This most important and architecturally significant house was begun in 1816 and completed in 1819. Designed by the English architect William Jay of Bath, the house plans were drawn while Jay was still in England. He sent architectural elevations to local workers before his arrival in Savannah sometime after foundations were laid. According to Jays letters, the house was to be aesthetically compatible to Bath, England. This is evident in the Bath stone of the houses construction as well as its sophisticated architectural detail. It was a gentrifying physical ornament to the newly successful Southern port. The Richardson House, as it was originally known after its first owner and builder, is North Americas preeminent example of period English Regency architecture. The mansion was purchased in 1830 by local attorney and politician George Welshman Owens for $10,000. The family maintained it for several decades until Owens granddaughter, Margaret Thomas, bequeathed the house to the Telfair Academy of Arts and Sciences (established in 1885) as the South&#39;s oldest art museum, in 1951. The house is notable for its early cast iron side veranda with elaborate acanthus scroll supports on which the Marquis de Lafayette addressed the citizens of Savannah on his visit in 1825. William Jay was architect to other Savannah landmarks such as the Scarborough house, the Telfair House as mentioned above, and an attribution to the Gordon-Low House.</p><br>
<h2>Museum</h2><br>
<p>The Owens–Thomas House collection contains furnishings and decorative arts from the English Regency period; containing effects of the Owens family, most pieces dating from the years 1790 to 1840. Collections include English Georgian and American Federal period furniture, early Savannah textiles, silver, Chinese Export porcelain, and 18th- and 19th-century art. The house-servant&#39;s quarters feature slave artifacts of the period. The courtyard features a small parterre garden.</p><br>
<p>Badkhal Lake was a former natural lake situated in Badkhal village near Faridabad, in the Indian state of Haryana, about 32 kilometers from Delhi.</p><br>
<p>Fringed by the hills of the Aravalli Range this was a man-made embankment. Owing to unchecked mining in neighbouring areas, the lake has now totally dried up. There are functional Haryana Tourism restaurants in the vicinity. A flower show is held every spring here. Its name is most probably derived from the Persian word bedakhal, which means free from interference. Close to Badkhal Lake, is the Peacock Lake, which is another picturesque spot.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>This was once a large lake, where boating and other tourist activities took place. Migratory birds also used to visit the lake.</p><br>
<p>In January 2010, the lake and the nearby Surajkund was filled up with water in conjunction with 2010 Commonwealth Games, however in March 2014, in a survey report released by the Delhi Parks and Gardens Society (DPGS), under the Government of Delhi&#39;s department of environment, the lake was completely dry and completely dependent on rains for water. The report also revealed 190 of 611 water bodies in Delhi had also gone dry.</p><br>
<p>Mount Tsubakuro is a 2,763 m mountain in Azumino, Nagano Prefecture, Japan. It is situated in Japan&#39;s Hida Mountains in Nagano Prefecture.</p><br>
<p>It was specified for Chūbu-Sangaku National Park on December 4, 1934.</p><br>
<h2>Mountain hut</h2><br>
<p>The mountain climbing trail between Mount Tsubakuro and Mount Yari is called Main Street owing to its extensive use over time. It has two mountain huts along the way.</p><br>
<p>Tsubakuro mountain cottage is located at near the summit and is one of the oldest mountain huts in Japan, completed in 1921</p><br>

<p>The Albert Einstein House at 112 Mercer Street in Princeton, Mercer County, New Jersey, United States was the home of Albert Einstein from 1935 until his death in 1955. His wife Elsa Einstein died in 1936 while living in this house.</p><br>
<p>The house was built sometime before 1876, as it originally stood on Alexander Street where Stuart Hall of the Princeton Theological Seminary was built in that year, also displacing the house now at 108 Mercer. The home is a simple pattern-book cottage and not in itself of unusual significance. Elsa Einstein purchased the home from Mary Clark Marden on July 24, 1935 for an undisclosed sum according to the deed which was recorded by the Mercer County Clerk&#39;s Office on August 1, 1935.</p><br>
<p>Albert Einstein reportedly requested that this house not be made a museum, and the family did not want it to be recognized as such. Nonetheless it was added to the National Register of Historic Places and further designated a USA National Historic Landmark in 1976.</p><br>
<p>The house was previously owned by Eric Maskin and his family until 2012. He was the Albert O. Hirschman Professor in the School of Social Science at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton until 2011, and the 2007 Nobel Prize winner with two others. He is currently a Professor of Economics at Harvard University. Previously it was occupied by 2004 Nobel prize winner physicist Frank Wilczek when he was a professor in IAS between 1989 and 2001. Reportedly he requested the house from the IAS as his condition to move to Princeton, and he had been holding evening seminars in the house for graduate students.</p><br>
<p>It is a private residence even though it is owned by IAS, and is not open to public. There is no marker, however strategically placed plaques state "Private Residence".</p><br>
<p>Lake Orestiada or Lake Kastoria  is a lake in the Kastoria regional unit of Macedonia, northwestern Greece. Sitting at an altitude of 630 metres, the lake covers an area of 28 square kilometres.</p><br>
<p>Nine rivulets flow into the lake, and it drains into the Haliacmon river. Its depth varies from nine to ten metres. The Orestida was formed about 10 million years ago. The Kastoria Peninsula (with the town of Kastoria) divides the lake into two parts, the larger to the north and the smaller to the south.</p><br>
<p>The lake takes its name from the Oreiades. Lakeside attractions include, apart from the Byzantine architectural heritage of the town, an 11th-century Byzantine monastery of Panagia Mavriotissa and the reconstructed prehistoric settlement of Dispilio, where the Dispilio Tablet was retrieved from the lake in 1992.</p><br>
<p>The James Watson House, at 7 State Street between Pearl and Water Streets in the Financial District of Manhattan, New York City, was built in 1793 and extended in 1806, and is now the rectory of the Shrine of St. Elizabeth Ann Bayley Seton. It is located near the southern tip of Manhattan Island, across from Battery Park.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Early history</h3><br>
<p>James Watson was the first Speaker of the New York State Assembly and a Federalist member of the New York and United States Senates. He was a Yale University graduate who became a prosperous importer-exporter. Once part of a row of late-eighteenth-century mansions, the building recalls the time when New Yorks merchant families lived at Manhattans southern tip, near the river, in order to have an unobstructed harbor view and to be in close proximity to their shipping interests. At that time it was numbered 6 State Street.</p><br>
<p>In 1806 Watson sold the house to Moses Rogers and the address was changed to 7 State Street. Rogers was the brother-in-law of shipping magnate, Archibald Gracie, who built the spacious home on the northeast side of Manhattan that came to be known as Gracie Mansion. Moses Rogers combined his house with the residence next door which sat significantly back due to the curve of the street. In order to create a unified facade, a colonnaded portico was added, reportedly using masts from his fleet of merchant ships which he was converting to steam power. The architect of the eastern (original) half is unknown, but the western extension, next to the church, is attributed to John McComb, Jr.</p><br>
<p>With the exodus of wealthy families northward, the building housed the office of the Ithaca Line. The United States government took it over during the Civil War. Afterwards it became the headquarters of the Harbor’s Pilot Commissioners.</p><br>
<h3>Immigrant services</h3><br>
<p>A bad harvest in Ireland in 1879, combined with Irish political turmoil, led to much emigration to America. Between 1856 and 1921, 3.6 million emigrants left Ireland for North America; a majority of them were women. For every eight Irishmen who left between 1871 and 1951, ten Irishwomen emigrated. Eighty-nine percent of those women were single and younger than twenty-four.</p><br>
<p>On a visit to Queenstown, the main port of embarkation, Charlotte Grace O’Brien was appalled at the conditions faced by immigrant women, who encountered overcrowded, overpriced lodgings and robbery. In April 1882 she opened the 105-bed "O’Brien Emigrants Home", a boarding-house for the reception and protection of girls on the point of emigrating. She also visited the ships for which her lodgers were destined, along with a medical officer. Finally, O&#39;Brien sailed to New York to investigate conditions upon arrival.</p><br>
<p>O&#39;Brien found little effort to provide food or drink or accommodation at the Castle Garden entry facility and illiterate young women being tricked into prostitution through spurious offers of employment. She contacted Archbishop John Ireland, who through his contacts with the Irish Catholic Association, arranged the establishment of an information bureau at Castle Garden. Ireland also contacted Cardinal John McCloskey, Archbishop of New York, about providing a chaplain specifically for immigrants arriving at Castle Garden.</p><br>
<h4>John J. Riordan</h4><br>
<p>The Mission of Our Lady of the Rosary for the Protection of Irish Immigrant Girls opened on January 1, 1884 with the appointment of Rev. John J. Riordan as the first chaplain at Castle Garden. Immigrant girls needing accommodation were placed in local boarding houses until May 1 when a Home for Immigrant Girls was opened at 7 Broadway. In 1885, the Watson House at 7 State Street was purchased from Isabella Wallace for the Mission of Our Lady of the Rosary to serve as a way station for young immigrant women.</p><br>
<h4>Mission of Our Lady of the Rosary</h4><br>
<p>John J. Riordan, chaplain at Castle Garden, was the first Director until his untimely death from pneumonia, at age thirty-six, on December 15, 1887. He was followed by the Rev. Hugh J. Kelly, as Director of the Mission, who in turn was succeeded by Rev. Michael Callaghan. In May 1890, a fair was held over three weeks, to raise funds to meet the mortgage, which was in danger of foreclosure. Frances Folsom Cleveland, who at that time was residing with her husband in New York City between Presidential terms, presided over a flower booth. In the sixteen years ending with July 1, 1899, 476,149 Irish people landed in New York, of which 249,995 were women, nearly all under forty years of age.</p><br>
<p>The Mission used its influence to persuade steamship lines to better safeguard their immigrant passengers. It guided those at landing who intended to proceed by rail or steamboat to another destination. It provided a home on State Street for 70,000 girls whose friends did not show up on the day of arrived, or who had no one expecting them, or who were unable to proceed on their journey. It attempted to locate relatives of those who had only an incomplete address, and examined the fitness of those claiming to be relatives and friends who called for the immigrant. It secured positions for over 12,000 young women, mostly in domestic services, for those ready to go to work. and it provided an on-site chapel for spiritual support.</p><br>
<p>The house was designated a New York City Landmark in 1965, and in 1972 was added to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The Vachel Lindsay House is a historic house museum at 603 South 5th Street in Springfield, Illinois. Built in 1848, it was the birthplace and lifelong home of poet Vachel Lindsay . It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1971. The Illinois Historic Preservation Agency operates the house as a historic house museum and offers tours of the home that emphasize Vachel Lindsay&#39;s poetry and art. It is open seasonally.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Vachel Lindsay House is located near Springfield&#39;s downtown area, at the southwest corner of South 5th and East Edwards Streets. It is a two-story wood frame structure, with a front-facing gable roof and clapboarded exterior. Its main facade is five bays wide, with a hip-roof single-story porch extending across the center three bays, with square posts and a dentillated cornice. The entrance is framed by a Greek Revival surround, but the doorway itself is a later Victorian feature. The first floor contains an entry hall, two parlors, library, dining room, kitchen, bathroom, and pantry. The second floor includes a central hall, sewing room, five bedrooms, bathroom, and trunk room. Rooms have been decorated in the late Victorian style, and included the bed in which Vachel Lindsay was born, a desk he built, and the table at which he did much of his writing.</p><br>
<p>Nicholas Vachel Lindsay was born here in 1879, and at first sought to become an artist. He discovered a talent for poetry, and his first volume was published in 1913. "The Congo", was published in 1914, and brought him fame. His approach to poetry was unusual and distinctive for the time, using colloquial language, which he delivered in a sing-song chanting style during his public appearances.</p><br>
<p>Lindsay&#39;s house was sold to a non-profit foundation by his heirs, and opened as a house museum in 1960.</p><br>
<p>Callander Bay is a bay at the extreme east of Lake Nipissing in Parry Sound District, Ontario, Canada. It is approximately 4 km in diameter. The community of Callander is located on its east side.</p><br>
<h2>Geology</h2><br>
<p>Callander Bay is an eroded Proterozoic volcanic pipe formed by the violent, supersonic eruption of a deep-origin volcano. These volcanoes originate at least three times as deep as most other volcanoes, and the resulting magma that is pushed toward the surface is high in magnesium and volatile compounds such as water and carbon dioxide. As the body of magma rises toward the surface, the volatile compounds transform to gaseous phase as pressure is reduced with decreasing depth. This sudden expansion propels the magma upward at rapid speeds, resulting in a shallow supersonic eruption.</p><br>
<p>Callander Bay contains uncommon rocks such as nepheline syenite and carbonatite and the minerals: aegirine, amphibole, analcime, apatite, barite, biotite, calcite, cancrinite, chalcopyrite, chlorite, diopside, dolomite, fluorite, garnet, hematite, kaersutite, magnetite, muscovite, nepheline, olivine, perthite, pyrite, pyroxene and pyrrhotite.</p><br>
<p>The Thomas Elwood Lindsey House is an historic home located in Paoli Township, Orange County, Indiana.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Thomas Elwood Lindley House was built on land granted in 1812 for Jonathan Lindley when he left North Carolina to settle in Orange County, Indiana.</p><br>
<p>Jonathan was the grandfather of Thomas Elwood Lindley, and an influential Quaker. He served in the State Legislature at the Capitol in Corydon, Indiana. The property remained in the Lindley Family until it was deeded to the Orange County Historical Society in 1974 by the great-great-grandson, H. Carl Thompson and Dorothy Farlow Thompson. The house is restored to reflect the period 1850-1869 when it was used as a farm home. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>Mount Wire  is a mountain located on the east side of Salt Lake City, Utah with an elevation of 7,146 ft. The mountain is named after Lester Wire, an American policeman of Salt Lake City, Utah, who in 1912 developed the first red-green electric traffic light. Mount Wire is a common spot for adventurous hikers and has many access trails, some created by nearby Red Butte Gardens.</p><br>
<p>The east side of the University of Utah offers direct access to trails to the summit. Mount Wire formerly could be identified from other nearby mountains by its two passive microwave repeaters near the summit. These billboard like structures were used to bounce microwave signals over the mountain to the north-eastern parts of Utah. Mount Wire also houses an old airway beacon directly on the summit.</p><br>
<p>An interesting man-made rock outcropping about halfway up the mountain looks like several lawn chairs in a row, and is a common rest stop for hikers. This stop offers views of Salt Lake City, and the Wasatch Mountains.</p><br>
<h2>Hiking</h2><br>
<p>Hiking to the summit can be moderately difficult as the terrain is fairly unforgiving. Trails are not marked, but are in good condition, depending on which side a hiker climbs. Access from the west side of the mountain is often the easiest, as the trails are clearer. Hiking the mountain takes about two hours for the average hiker, again depending on trail and weather conditions. It is advisable that any hiker wanting to get to the summit carry plenty of water and food. More athletic hikers can reach the summit in about 45 minutes with a water bottle in hand.</p><br>
<h2>The Summit</h2><br>
<p>Once on the summit, the entire Salt Lake Valley can be seen from North Salt Lake to Point of the Mountain and Draper. To the north, Antelope Island is clearly visible as is the neighboring mountain, Mount Van Cott. To the west, the entire Oquirrh mountain range. To the south and east, Emigration Canyon and the Wasatch Range are visible.</p><br>
<p>An old airport beacon, now out of service, is on the highest point of the mountain and can be climbed for better views of the surrounding terrain. It has been vandalized by many people writing their names and the dates they reached the summit. Some of the dates are as old as 1954. Evidence of power to the beacon is still present in the surrounding area. Old electrical wire is strewn about in various places, and rusted conduit is still present, along with boxes that contained breakers.</p><br>
<p>On November 9, 2013 the two large passive microwave repeaters directly southwest of the beacon were removed. These were used to reflect microwave radio communications from Salt Lake to northeastern Utah. They had also been heavily vandalized.</p><br>
<p>An unimproved road for ATVs and four-wheel drive vehicles also exists for those who do not want to hike to the summit, and starts in Emigration Canyon directly to the east. This road begins on private property however, and reaching the summit via vehicle is strongly discouraged as parts of this mountain are on National Forest lands, where such vehicles are prohibited. The road terminates at the radio repeaters.</p><br>
<p>Grant Cottage State Historic Site is an Adirondack mountain cottage on the slope of Mount McGregor in Town of Moreau, New York. Ulysses S. Grant, the 18th President of the United States, died of throat cancer at the cottage on July 23, 1885. The house was made a New York State Historic Site in 1971.</p><br>
<p>The cottage was originally owned by Joseph William Drexel, a New York banker and friend of Grant, and Grant would spend the last six weeks of his life there. Author and publisher Mark Twain gave Grant a $25,000 advance to write his memoirs; Grant completed the manuscript just three days before he died. During the next two years, sales of the work netted his family nearly $450,000 in royalties, saving his widow, Julia, from destitution. For decades after his death, thousands of Civil War veterans made a pilgrimage to this shrine outside Saratoga Springs. Thousands more visit Mt. McGregor annually to see the original artifacts preserved at this historic site.</p><br>
<p>Visitors can tour the historic house museum which has been furnished exactly as it was on the day Grant died. Some of the original floral arrangements from the funeral are on display, and the bed in which he died is shown in the bedroom. Also seen is the clock that was at the cottage, stopped at 8:08am by Frederick Dent Grant, who then reached over and touched his father&#39;s forehead for the last time. A marker is located outside the cottage on the spot where Grant had his last look of the valley; it had to be fenced off to stop visitors from chipping off pieces as souvenirs. A visitor center and gift shop are also located there. A plaque is located a short distance away from the cottage and memorializes the fact that Grant died there. A New York historic marker is located a few yards from the cottage.</p><br>
<p>The Walt Whitman Birthplace State Historic Site is a state historic site in West Hills, New York, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The site preserves the birthplace of American poet Walt Whitman.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Whitman familys connection to Long Island dates back to the early 17th century and their property once covered 500 acres. Walter Whitman Sr., father of the poet, built this farmhouse in West Hills near Huntington, New York in 1816. The future poet was born here three years later in 1819. The Whitman familys other three children were born here as well. When Walt Jr. was five years old, the family moved to Brooklyn.</p><br>
<p>Whitman worked at various times as a printer, a schoolteacher, a journalist, a volunteer nurse during the Civil War, and a newspaper publisher. He returned to Long Island at age 17 to teach at a local school and founded the Long Islander newspaper. He eventually authored a book of poetry, Leaves of Grass, which sold poorly when first published but has over time come to be considered a masterpiece of world literature. The museum&#39;s web site says: "By the end of his life, Whitman had become the first American poet to achieve international acclaim. Today his poetry is available in every major language and inspires people world wide who find in Whitman the voice and vision of a truly international humanist."</p><br>
<h2>Museum today</h2><br>
<p>The Walt Whitman Birthplace State Historic Site & Interpretive Center is operated by the Walt Whitman Birthplace Association (WWBA), which was formed in 1949 to preserve the home. It was designated a New York State Historic Site in 1957 and in 1985 was added to both the New York State Register and National Register of Historic Places. It is run in collaboration with the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation. The site consists of three structures: The historic Birthplace which is maintained as the Museum; the modern Interpretive Center which contains historic exhibits and a performance space; and the Gathering House which is used for exhibitions and a meeting space.</p><br>
<p>The site offers guided tours, exhibits, an audio-visual show, events, a poet-in-residence program, and an annual poetry contest for local grade school students. The museum has nineteenth century furnishings, 130 Whitman portraits, original manuscripts and letters, artifacts, Whitmans voice on tape, and his schoolmasters desk.</p><br>
<p>The museum is open every day June 15 through Labor Day except for major holidays. In the winter it is open Wednesday through Sunday. There is a museum gift shop. Tours for school classes and other large groups may be arranged in advance.</p><br>
<p>The Senate House State Historic Site is located on Fair Street in Kingston, New York, United States. New York State was established there in 1777, during the Revolutionary War.</p><br>
<p>After one month, the Senate fled the British troops who were advancing from Manhattan. The Senate House and much of Kingston was burned in retribution. It has served as a museum from the late 19th century. Currently it is owned and operated by the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation.</p><br>
<p>In 1971 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the first building in Kingston listed. At that time it was a contributing property to the small Clinton Avenue Historic District. Four years later, in 1975, the original district was replaced with the larger Kingston Stockade District, which retained the Senate House and all the other properties of the original district.</p><br>
<p>The house first belonged to Wessel Wesselse Ten Broeck, born about 1636, who emigrated to New Amsterdam from Wessen, in Westphalia in 1659. It is generally described as having been built in 1676, but can be certainly dated to some time before his death in 1704. The ground floor of the house consists of three rooms, lined up along the street, with an entrance hallway between two of the rooms. As is typical of early Dutch houses in the Hudson Valley, the house is of stone, with the exception of the rear wall which is brick, laid in Flemish bond. At the back is a kitchen wing, added early, but somewhat later than the original construction.</p><br>
<p>Hadrosaurus Foulkii Leidy Site in Haddonfield, Camden County, New Jersey, United States, is where the first relatively complete set of dinosaur bones were discovered in 1838, and then fully excavated by William Parker Foulke in 1858. The dinosaur was later named Hadrosaurus foulkii by Joseph Leidy. The site lingered in obscurity until 1984 when a local Boy Scout from Troop 65, Christopher Brees, as part of an Eagle Scout project researched the site and generated publicity, eventually leading to the species being designated the official dinosaur of New Jersey. The site is now a small park known as "Hadrosaurus Park" and is accessed at the end of Maple Avenue.</p><br>
<p>According to a plaque placed at the site by the Academy of Natural Sciences, the site was part of the John Hopkins farm in 1858. Current information from the Academy states that Foulke unearthed 35 of an estimated 80 bones from the Hadrosaurus, which is believed to have been herbivorous, 7 meters in length, and weigh 2.5 tons. It lived during the Cretaceous Period, 73 million years ago.</p><br>
<p>Manna  is a village in Corinthia, southern Greece. It is a community of the municipal unit Xylokastro. It had a population of 476 permanent citizens at the 2011 census. It resides at the mountain foot of Ziria at an elevation of 850m. The name originates from a spring in the village. Before that the village was named Markasi which is a Turkish word that means Marias eyebrow because of the mountain line above the village which looks like an eyebrow.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The village was founded in 1800 from colonists that came from Barbitsa and from Lagadia Arkadias. Members of the family Barbitsioti settled in Markasi at around 1820. The village participated in the revolution of 1821 against the Turks. Under the leadership of Basili Barbitsioti they fortified under a rock at the entrance of the village and drive the Turks away many times.</p><br>
<p>At that time the family Barbitsioti built the church of Ag. Dimitrios.</p><br>
<p>During World War II the village was the only one that wasn&#39;t demolished by the Germans because the women of the village found a dead German that was killed during a battle and buried him with all the honors they buried a Greek man.</p><br>
<p>So the German commander ordered not to harm anybody and not destroy the village.</p><br>
<p>The village has a church Ag. Konstantinos-Elenis which was built from the stones the villagers carried from the mountain at 1880.</p><br>
<p>When the earthquakes of 1921 struck, two large rocks fell off the mountain 6mX4m but they stopped right before the church and did not destroy the homes of the villagers.</p><br>
<p>Another spring that resides in the village has the phenomenon of tide for 6 hours the water is released and for another 6 it is not. The phenomenon is inexplicable yet because there are no similar phenomena in the greater area of Corinth.</p><br>
<p>The mountain is private because the citizens have bought it from Notara after the revolution.</p><br>
<p>The village produces apples, oil and other fruits.</p><br>
<p>The apples are famous in Greece like the apples from Pilio.</p><br>

<p>The South Burying Ground, also known as Winchester Street Cemetery, or Evergreen Cemetery, is an historic cemetery located on Winchester Street in the village of Newton Highlands, in the city of Newton, Massachusetts. Established in 1802, it is Newton&#39;s third cemetery. It has 357 recorded burials, dating between 1803 and 1938. The cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The South Burying Ground occupies a roughly rectangular 1.37 acre on the west side of Winchester Street, a short way south of Massachusetts Route 9 in Newton Highlands. The cemetery&#39;s primary topographical features are two knolls, which flank the main entrance. The street-facing front and parts of the sides of the cemetery are lined by a stone wall that is probably of 19th century origin. A chain link fence is mounted on the wall, and encircles the rest of the property. The main entrance is secured by a chain-link gate. The cemetery has no paved lanes, although early 20th century maps show a rectilinear grid of them.</p><br>
<p>The cemetery was established as a private cemetery by local citizens in 1802, and was the first that was not associated with a parish. It has 357 recorded burials, among them eleven veterans of the American Revolutionary War and two from the American Civil War. The property was transferred to the city, which continues to own and maintain it. Use of the cemetery declined after the large Newton Cemetery opened in 1855, and the last interment here was in 1938. The cemetery is normally locked and not open to public access.</p><br>
<p>Weslemkoon Lake is located in the Township of Addington Highlands, Ontario, Canada, near Denbigh and about 110 km north of Belleville. The lake is well known for large and small-mouth bass and lake trout fishing, cottaging, seclusion, and wildlife, making it a perfect retreat for people wishing to "get away from it all."</p><br>
<p>The lake is characterized by a rocky shoreline, with numerous bays and coves that are home to bogs, and swampy areas. There are abundant islands, many of which are uninhabited or public land and can be used as recreational areas. Notable are the 5 islands, which are a small group of islands in the center of the main body of the lake, and Squaw Point, which is a treeless area where it is said Algonquin Native women and children retreated to during times of battle.</p><br>
<p>When heading north on the lake from the southern end, a viewer would notice a lighthouse that has stood since the 1920s and, up until the installation of a large orange flashing beacon placed on top of a 55-gallon drum and mounted to a rock, served to mark the narrow entrance into the main body of the lake. The lighthouse cottage has been said to have been visited by Thomas Edison and Henry Ford.</p><br>
<p>Wildlife include: common loon, great blue heron, black bear, beaver, moose, great horned owl, lynx, bobcat.</p><br>

<p>Giant Springs is a large first magnitude spring located near Great Falls, Montana and is the central feature of Giant Springs State Park. Its water has a constant temperature of 54 &deg;F and originates from snowmelt in the Little Belt Mountains, 60 mi away. According to chlorofluorocarbon dating, the water takes 50 years to travel underground before returning to the surface at the springs according to the placard at the state park.</p><br>
<p>Giant Springs is formed by an opening in a part of the Madison aquifer, a vast aquifer underlying 5 USA States and 3 Canadian Provinces.</p><br>
<p>The conduit between the mountains and the spring is the geological stratum found in parts of the northwest United States called the Madison Limestone. Although some of the underground water from the Little Belt Mountains escapes to form Giant Springs, some stays underground and continues flowing, joining sources from losing streams in the Black Hills, Big Horn Mountains and other areas. The aquifer eventually surfaces in Canada. Giant Springs has an average discharge of 242 cuft of water per second or 150 million gallons per day.</p><br>
<p>The spring outlet is located in Giant Springs State Park, just downstream and northeast of Great Falls, Montana on the east bank of the Missouri River. Giant Springs was first described by Lewis and Clark during their exploration of the Louisiana Purchase in 1805. Before that, the Blackfeet people utilized the springs as an easy-to-access water source in the winter. The springs were mostly ignored by settlers until 1884 when the town of Great Falls was established and the springs became the place for Sunday recreational activities. In the mid-1970s the park was established as a Montana State Park.</p><br>
<p>Today, some of the spring water is bottled annually for human consumption and some of the discharge is used for a trout hatchery. The hatchery is a Montana state trout hatchery named Giant Springs Trout Hatchery and raises mostly Rainbow Trout. The spring serves as the headwaters of the 200 ft-long Roe River, once listed as the shortest river in the world according to Guinness Book of World Records. The river flows into the Missouri River which is near the spring and borders its state park.</p><br>
<p>The Komsomolskaya Pravda Islands  are an archipelago in the far north of the Russian Federation. The islands are uninhabited and are covered with tundra vegetation, shingle and ice.</p><br>
<p>The climate in these islands and the surrounding waters is extremely severe with frequent gales and blizzards in the winter. The sea surrounding the archipelago is covered with fast ice most of the year and is obstructed by pack ice even in the summer.</p><br>
<h2>Etymology</h2><br>
<p>The island group was known as Saint Samuel Islands before the 1917 Russian Revolution and then they were renamed after Komsomolskaya Pravda, being for a while the only island group in the world named after a newspaper. This situation lasted only until the Izvesti Tsik Islands were given their name after newspaper Izvestia. The original name of the islands, "Samuila", was retained for one of the islands of the group though.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>These islands are located in the Laptev Sea coastal region, off the mouth of the Simsa Bay in the Taymyr Peninsula. This island group belongs to the Krasnoyarsk Krai administrative division of Russia.</p><br>
<p>The largest islands are Ostrov Samuila and Ostrov Bol&#39;shoy (also known as Ostrov Stolovidnyy). Both of them belong to the offshore subgroup, which geographically is sometimes referred to as the proper Komsomolskaya Pravda Islands. The strait between these islands is known as Proliv Diksonskikh Gidrografov (Hydrographer Dikson Strait).</p><br>
<p>The smaller islands that are located close to the coast at the mouth of the Simsa Bay: Udobnyy, Vilkitsky (or Srednyy), Kraynyy (also known as Sliyaniye) and small Kuropachiy (known also as "Avanpost" and "Forpost"), form another subgroup that is also known as the Vilkitsky Islands (Ostrova Vil&#39;kitskogo). These are named after geographer Boris Vilkitsky and should not be confused with the Vilkitski (or Dzhekman) Islands that are part of the Nordenskjold Archipelago or with other islands also called "Vilkitsky".</p><br>
<p>Uzbekistan Island, named after the former Uzbek Soviet Socialist Republic, has an intermediate position between the two subgroups of the Komsomolskaya Pravda Islands.</p><br>
<p>Just around the corner of the NE point of the nearby mainland lies small Fram Island (Oстров Фрама; Ostrov Frama), which was named after Norwegian explorer Fridtjof Nansen&#39;s ship Fram.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>These islands were first reported in 1736 by Russian explorer Vasili Pronchishchev.</p><br>
<p>In 1933 the newly formed Glavsevmorput&#39; (Chief Administration of the Northern Sea Route) dispatched the first convoy of freighters via the Northern Sea Route to the mouth of the Lena to deliver cargoes bound for the Yakut ASSR. It consisted of three freighters and was escorted by the icebreaker Krasin. Despite heavy ice conditions in the Kara Sea two of the ships reached Tiksi, their destination, and unloaded their cargoes. The third ship, Pravda was bound for Bukhta Nordvik with an oil exploration expedition. Despite warnings, Pravda ran aground near its destination and turned back.</p><br>
<p>Severe ice conditions in the Vilkitsky Strait (between Severnaya Zemlya and Cape Chelyuskin), forced the three freighters of the convoy, the Pravda, the Volodarskiy and the Tovarich Stalin to winter at Ostrov Samuila in the Komsomolskaya Pravda Islands. A shore station was built and a full scientific programme maintained all winter by N. N. Urvantsev and his wife, Dr. Yelizaveta Ivanovna. Urvantsev used the base to explore the Taymyr Peninsula.</p><br>
<p>These ships were released in the following year by Icebreaker Feodor Litke. Battering heavily the ice around the Komsomolskaya Pravda Islands for one week, the Feodor Litke finally succeeded in breaking the freighters free after carving a 10 km channel with so much effort that its hull suffered grievous damage.</p><br>
<p>Fontenelle Forest is a 1,400 acre forest, located near Bellevue, Nebraska. Its visitor features include hiking trails, a nature center, children&#39;s camps, a gift shop, and picnic facilities. The forest is listed as a National Natural Landmark and a National Historic District. The forest includes hardwood deciduous forest, extensive floodplain, loess hills, and marshlands.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>After settlement by Woodland culture Indians for a thousand years prior to the arrival of whites, the Lewis and Clark Expedition camped near or at the location of the forest on July 27, 1804.</p><br>
<p>Joshua Pilcher founded a trading post near Fontenelle Forests great marsh for the Missouri Fur Company in 1812. This was at the edge of territory of the Omaha and Otoe peoples. The French-American trader Lucien Fontenelle, from New Orleans, later bought the post from Pilcher, and it became known as Fontenelles Post.</p><br>
<p>With the declining fur trade, he sold the post to the federal government in 1832, which used it to house the Bellevue Indian Agency. After Fontenelle&#39;s death in 1840, his oldest son Logan Fontenelle returned to Nebraska from school in St. Louis. Tri-lingual and of mixed race, the younger Fontenelle started working at age 15 as an interpreter for the US Indian agent at the Agency. His mother was the daughter of the Omaha principal chief, Big Elk; and he spoke Omaha, English and French.</p><br>
<p>The younger Fontenelle participated as interpreter in negotiations for the Omaha cession of land in its 1854 treaty with the United States, and many European Americans in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries thought he was a chief. In 1919 the historian Melvin R. Gilmore wrote an article explaining the Omaha patrilineal gente system, which he believed prohibited Fontenelle as a chief because of his American father, as he was never adopted into the tribe. Because Fontenelle&#39;s father was a white man, the Omaha classified him as also white. Both father and son are buried in the forest, although the exact location is unknown.</p><br>
<p>Dr. A.A. Tyler and Dr. Harold Gifford, Sr. founded the Fontenelle Forest Association in 1913 with a mission to preserve the woodlands south of Omaha, Nebraska along the Missouri River. They bought their first preservation land in 1920. The association named the forest after Logan Fontenelle.</p><br>
<p>A small nature center was opened in 1966 for the popular educational hikes led by volunteers. In 2000, the Fontenelle Forest Association officially changed its name to Fontenelle Nature Association. In 2012, Fontenelle Nature Association changed its name back to Fontenelle Forest. Today, Fontenelle Forest keeps more than 2,000 acres of riparian forest, prairies, swamps, and other lands in preservation. The lands encompass one of the largest natural deciduous forests in Nebraska.</p><br>
<h2>Facilities</h2><br>
<p>Fontenelle Forest includes several facilities. The Katherine and Fred Buffett Forest Learning Center is the main building in the forest. Built in 2000, it has space for school programs, public education events and private events. Two miles from the Learning Center is the Gilbert and Martha Hitchcock Wetlands Learning Center. It offers educational spaces adjacent to the Gifford Memorial Boardwalk, a 3/8-mile path that leads to a two-story observation tower overlooking the Great Marsh, and was opened in 1999.</p><br>
<p>Fontenelle Forest also owns and operates Neale Woods, located north of Omaha.</p><br>
<h2>Wildlife</h2><br>
<p>Situated along the Missouri River Valley flyway, Fontenelle Forest, the Audubon Society reports that "246 species have been recorded, among them 35 species of warblers." Birder’s World named the forest one of the top ten warbler viewing spots in the United States. Bird Watching magazine wrote that Fontenelle Forest is, "the single best place to see eastern birds near the western edge of their ranges and western birds near their eastern borders." It is the only place in Nebraska where red-shouldered hawks have nested, and one of the few known places in the state that support pileated woodpeckers. Other species of note seen in the forest include Kentucky, prothonotary, and cerulean warbler; wood thrush; grasshopper sparrow; and whip-poor-will.</p><br>

<p>The Tomb of the Diver is an archaeological monument, built in about 470 BC and found by the Italian archaeologist Mario Napoli on 3 June 1968 during his excavation of a small necropolis about 1.5 km south of the Greek city of Paestum in Magna Graecia, in what is now southern Italy. The tomb is now displayed in the museum at Paestum.</p><br>
<p>It is a grave made of five local limestone slabs forming the four lateral walls and the roof, the floor being excavated in the natural rock ground. The five slabs, accurately bonded with plaster, formed a chamber sized — roughly – 215 × 100 × 80 cm (7.1 × 3.3 × 2.6 ft). All five slabs forming the monument were painted on the interior sides using a true fresco technique. The paintings on the four walls depict a symposium scene, while the cover slab shows the famous scene that gives the tomb its name: a young man diving into a curling and waving stream of water. Two masters have been distinguished, the south wall being by a less impressive artist than the others.</p><br>
<p>When the tomb was discovered, these surprising frescos revealed its importance as they appear to be the "only example of Greek painting with figured scenes dating from the Orientalizing, Archaic, or Classical periods to survive in its entirety. Among the thousands of Greek tombs known from this time (roughly 700–400 BC), this is the only one to have been decorated with frescoes of human subjects." This was presumably inspired by the many Etruscan painted tombs; Paestum was at the time a few miles from the border of the Greek and Etruscan zones of influence at the River Sele. Wall-paintings in other types of building were common in the Greek world, but survivals are extremely rare.</p><br>
<p>The local Campanians, who had taken control of Paestum by about 400 BC, left many painted tombs, mostly showing an obsession with horse and equine sport. Several of these are also in the museum in Paestum.</p><br>
<p>In the interior of the tomb, only a few objects were found: near the corpse (widely supposed to be a young man, despite the heavily deteriorated state of the skeleton) were a turtle shell, two arýballoi and an Attic lekythos. This last object, in black-figure technique from about 480 BC, helped the discoverer and other scholars to date the tomb to about 470 BC.</p><br>
<p>The Petworth Canal was one of Britain&#39;s shorter lasting canals, opened in 1795 and dismantled in 1826. On completion of the Rother Navigation the Earl of Egremont used his estate workforce to build the 1¼ mile long canal from just upstream of the Shopham Cut to Haslingbourne, with two locks, each with a rise of 8 feet and 6 inches. The Haslingbourne Stream was diverted to provide the water supply, and still flows in the canal bed from Haslingbourne to the site of Haines Lock. The initial intention was to extend the canal through the Shimmings Valley to Hamper&#39;s Green on the north side of Petworth, then northwards to join the Wey Navigation at Shalford.</p><br>
<h2>Legal authority</h2><br>
<p>Construction of the branch to Haslingbourne bridge was included in the Act of Parliament, numbered passed in 1791, titled; "An Act to enable the Earl of Egremont to make and maintain the River Rother navigable, from the Town of Midhurst, to a certain Meadow, called the Railed Pieces, or Stopham Meadow in the Parish of Stopham, and a navigable Cut, from the said River to the River Arun, at or near Stopham Bridge, in the county of Sussex; and for other Purposes."</p><br>
<h2>Construction</h2><br>
<p>Digging began early in 1795, employing about twenty navvies. In August lock gates were being hung and a bridge built at Haines Lock. Sandstone from the nearest quarries at Fittleworth and Upperton would have been used for the bridges and locks. Coping stones are recorded as being barged from Todham and Moorland locks near Midhurst by Edmund Sayer. The navigation was open by October 1795.</p><br>
<h2>Plans for extension</h2><br>
<p>The Earl of Egremont wanted a safe inland waterway that would link London on the River Thames with the south coast and the naval base at Portsmouth. Coastal shipping at that time faced serious hazards such as the notorious Goodwin Sands, where the Earls own two-year-old brigantine Egremont was wrecked in 1797. During wars with France there were military dangers as well. The initial intention was to extend the canal through the Shimmings Valley to Hampers Green on the north side of Petworth, then northwards to join the Wey Navigation at Shalford.P A L Vine, Londons Lost Route to Midhurst The Earl of Egremonts Navigation pp 64-67</p><br>
<p>Canal engineer William Jessop believed a route could be found past Northchapel, Shillinglee, Dunsfold and Alfold, then following the Cranleigh stream through Bramley to Shalford. A branch from Alfold to Horsham was also proposed. Agriculturalist Arthur Young advocated the scheme as a means to bring lime for the farms to improve their productivity. The Earl&#39;s estate surveyor Thomas Upton carried out a more detailed survey in 1793 and concluded that the 32 mile route would rise some 220 feet to cross the watershed into Surrey, with as many as nine locks needed just to climb 58 feet to the north side of Petworth. He suggested that a 17-mile extension of the Arun Navigation from Newbridge to the River Wey would be more practical. Even in that year when Canal Mania was at its height it was apparent that extension of the Petworth Canal could not be cost effective.</p><br>
<h2>Trade</h2><br>
<p>The main products carried on the canal were chalk, coal and timber. Coal from Newcastle or South Wales was transferred from coastal ships into barges at Arundel. Chalk was barged up the River Arun from pits leased and operated by the Earl at Houghton and Amberley. Timber and all kinds of timber products, including charcoal and oak bark for tanning were barged out from the Peworth area, although there are few records of what passed through Haslingbourne. A lime kiln was operated at Haslingbourne wharf, and some lime barged down the canal. Most of the Petworth trade however went to Coultershaw wharf on the Rother navigation, which was further away from the town but was on the well maintained turnpike road to Chichester. There was no extra toll for using the Petworth canal but this also saved the barge masters having to travel through two locks. From east of Petworth it was often cheaper to cart goods to and from the River Arun, which was free of tolls below Pallingham, avoiding the Rother Navigation tolls payable on passing through Stopham Lock.</p><br>
<h2>Closure</h2><br>
<p>Dredging was carried out in 1824 and the banks repaired, but when repairs to locks on the Rother navigation were urgently needed in 1826 the Earl decided to close the underused canal and reuse materials from the locks, which were completely dismantled that summer. This paid no regard to the landowner&#39;s legal duty to maintain the navigation. The cutting across the field below Haines Lock was then filled in.</p><br>
<h2>The canal today</h2><br>
<p>The wharf at Haslingbourne has entirely disappeared and an electricity sub-station and a former water treatment plant, which pumped water from springs at the foot of Gore Hill to Petworth, are on the site. The area is now used for storage of construction machinery. Below Haslingbourne Cottages the stream flows in the canal bed which is cut through sandstone beds, creating a shaded artificial gorge rich in mosses and lichens. Emerging from this cutting at the site of Upper Lock the canal follows a straight course across low lying boggy ground, fenced off as a nature reserve area. Reaching the site of Haines Lock the stream can be heard pouring through a broken down weir in the undergrowth as it turns eastward into its natural course. The west bank of the canal here runs into the pasture for some twenty metres and the position of the levelled course beyond can just be discerned. Beyond the slightly higher ground here, as the Haslingbourne Stream again comes close to the canal, the embankments can be seen forming a straight line across the floodplain to the river. A pond near the river is the site of a weir and tumblebay.</p><br>
<p>Ca dZan, a Mediterranean Revival residence in Sarasota, Florida, was the winter home of the American circus owner, developer and art collector John Ringling and his wife Mable. Lovers of the Venetian aesthetic, the Ringlings chose the site overlooking Sarasota Bay for its vista, which reminded them of the lagoon of their favorite city. The name of the residence is Venetian for House of John. The Ringlings had been renting the residence of Mary Louise and Charles N. Thompson on their extensive Shell Beach parcel, and decided to purchase some of the land to build a permanent winter headquarters that would include a residence on the bay and a museum for their extensive art and artifact collection. An art school was planned to abut the museum, but it never was built. Mables rose garden was the first completed portion of the complex. On April 18, 2012, the AIAs Florida Chapter placed Ca dZan, the Residence of John and Mable Ringling on its list, Florida Architecture: 100 Years. 100 Places.</p><br>
<p>Architectural details of the house reflect influences ranging from the Venetian Doge&#39;s Palace to the tower of the first Madison Square Garden in Manhattan. Items collected by the couple during their international travels were featured in the residence.</p><br>
<p>The design of the residence was commissioned from New York architect Dwight James Baum in 1924 and it was built by the Sarasota developer Owen Burns. The work was completed in 1926, as the Florida boom collapsed and the bank failures that would lead to the crash of 1929 began. The original cost to build the home was $1.6 million. Adjusting for inflation, that converts to approximately $21 million in 2013 dollars.</p><br>
<p>In 1982 the residence was listed as a contributing property to the Caples-Ringlings Estates Historic District, which is on the National Register of Historic Places. Other contributing properties in the district include the Ellen and Ralph Caples residence, the John and Mable Ringling Museum, the Hester Ringling Lancaster Sandford residence and the Edith and Charles Ringling residence.</p><br>
<p>The 1998 film Great Expectations, directed by Alfonso Cuarón, had portions filmed at Ca dZan, which served as Ms. Dinsmoor&#39;s house, Paradiso Perduto.</p><br>
<p>The residence was restored in 2002 under the direction of Bill Puig. Most details of the original construction and decoration were restored faithfully except some of the interior color schemes.</p><br>
<p>Pariguz  is an artificial lake in Resnik, an urban neighborhood of Belgrade, Serbia. It is located in the municipality of Rakovica.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>The lake is located southeast of the center of Resnik, 17 km from downtown Belgrade, 6 km from the European route E70 and 1 km from the Belgrade bypass.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Pariguz is created in the valley of the stream of the same name. It also receives waters from the seven springs, with another spring flowing from the surrounding forest. The lake covers and area of 72,000 m&sup2, it is 600 m long, 120 m wide and up to 18 m, deep, while the average depth is 5 m. The water is cooler than the water in Ada Ciganlija and does not warm up higher than 20 &deg;C. Pariguz stream empties into the Topčiderska reka, which makes the lake part of the Black Sea drainage basin.</p><br>
<h2>Name</h2><br>
<p>The name of the stream and the lake is unusual, and in modern Serbian the meaning would be the „buttock steamer“. Origin of the name It is not know for sure. There are two concurring stories, both of which are generally considered as the cases of the folk etymology. One says that, during the First Serbian Uprising in the beginning of the 19th century, a company of Serbs attacked a group of Turkish soldiers nearby and, as the Serbian saying goes, Serbs „dusted buttocks“ of the Turks with the bullets. The other says that the bottom of the valley of the Pariguz stream was covered with healing mud, which even the ancient Romans used for treating the hemorrhoids.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The lake was created in 1989, when the stream was dammed to prevent the floods in the drainage bassin of the Topčiderska reka. A proper road to the lake was built in the spring of 2010. In 1999, during the NATO bombing of Serbia, the lake was drained, its bed was cleaned, and then refilled. Unconfirmed stories claimed that the reason was an unexploded NATO bomb which fell into the lake.</p><br>
<h2>Wildlife</h2><br>
<p>Lake is inhabited by the mallards, partridges and terrapins. Water is populated by the rich fish fauna, including wels catfish, common carp, Prussian carp, European chub, brown bullhead and northern pike.</p><br>
<h2>Future</h2><br>
<p>For years there are plans for the construction of the tourist complex, which would become the „Ada Ciganlija“ of Rakovica. The complex would include beaches, sports terrains and restaurants. Before that, the lake needs to be cleaned again as the waste waters from the closest houses drain into the lake, even though the chemical analysis conducted in 2012 showed that the water can be used for swimming, though the quality is not great. Shores of the lake were cleaned in March 2016. Another problem is the ownership of the land around the lake. Municipality owns the land up to 20 m from the shore, and much wider area is needed for the complex. Plans also include bicycle paths which would connect Pariguz to the other tourist attractions of Belgrade: Košutnjak, Pionirski Grad, Avala, Topčider.</p><br>
<p>However, as of 2017 no work has been done on the lake. In August 2017 the idea of sports complex on the lake was revived as the project Jezero ("lake"). Additions to the previous plans include the hotel 9,000 m&sup2, spa center, swimming pools, sports hall, etc., all on the area of 24 hectare around the lake. It turned out that the major problem is caused by five high voltage overhead power lines (110 and 120 kV) which crisscross the area. It is forbidden to build anything beneath them, to spend time, to swim or to fish. The lake is popular among the fishermen and is expected to become a popular swimming location and this causes a huge problem, so the planners say that the swimming and fishing probably wont be strictly forbidden, but people will be advised not to do it. On the lots which are directly beneath the power lines, a protective green zones will be created, wider than 30 m. On them, even the open sports fields will not be allowed. Another limitation in the planning is the major gas pipeline which traverses the area, too. A new road will be built. It will reach the lake from the north, as the continuation of Resniks Brestovačka street, and should spread above the future complex. It will end with the parking lot and the roundabout of the future public transportation bus line. Instead of the present, narrow road which reaches the lake from the west, a communal path will be constructed, with the sewage system below so that waste waters wouldnt flow into the lake anymore. The path will be used only by the police and ambulance. A bicycle path will encircle the lake, passing through the thick forest on the southern side of the lake. A pedestrian bridge will be constructed across the lake, too.</p><br>
<p>Neither the timeline for the project, nor the investors, have been disclosed and the city assembly should decide on the project by the end of 2017.</p><br>
<p>Furugelm Island  is an island in the southwest part of Peter the Great Gulf in the Sea of Japan, 110 km southwest of Vladivostok. It belongs to Khasansky District of Primorsky Krai, Russia.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The island was described by the sailors of the frigate Pallada on May 10, 1854, and named for Ivan Vasilyevich Furugelm, captain of the transport Knyaz Menshikov, which belonged to the Russian-American Company.</p><br>
<p>After 1922, with the advent of the system of fishing kolkhozes and state fishery enterprises, several fishing facilities were located on the island. Greater renown came to the island after the opening of wild animal farms, on which for the first time selective breeders began to raise blue minks. For a while all was well. Later, the fur animal killed almost all the local birds. The bird colonies took a long time to recover.</p><br>
<p>Following the deterioration of relations with Japan began the construction of coastal defenses on Furugelm. Artillery batteries and several anti-landing reinforcements were introduced. They remained in battle-ready state during the Korean War.</p><br>
<p>In the end of the 1970s the military garrison was dissolved.</p><br>
<p>There is currently no permanent population on the island. Since March 24, 1978 the territory of the island has belonged to the Far-East State Marine Reserve.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Furugelm Island is the most southerly island of the Maritime Province and all Russia, located almost at the border with North Korea. This parcel of Russian land is also called "the last Russian island". It is not large - about 2.5 km long and 1.5 km wide; and relatively low - the maximum height is 120 m. The shore of the island consists of rocky cliffs. The island is surrounded by shallows of depth less than 10 m, on which lie exposed and submerged rocks. On the western side it is fronted by small bays with stone columns standing haphazardly in the water.</p><br>
<h2>Nature</h2><br>
<p>The island is known for its seabird colonies. The black-tailed gull colony numbers more than 50,000 birds. It is neighbored by a settlement of spectacled guillemots and Brunnichs guillemot. The island also serves as a resting place for migrating birds recorded in the IUCN Red List, such as petrels, sea eagles, skuas, and Rosss gulls.</p><br>
<p>In all, the island has more than 300 species of birds registered, 80 of them nesting. In Russia such a variety is not found even in the Volga delta. Red-book varieties are found: red-crowned and white-naped cranes, black griffon, white-tailed eagle, golden eagle, and peregrine falcon. The largest currently extant colony of Japanese cormorant and black-tailed gull colonies in the world are located on this island. In all, seabird colonies in May and June collect up to 100,000 birds.</p><br>
<p>Among mammals on the island are the field mouse and reed vole.</p><br>
<p>From the land reptiles are found a small quantity of Japanese natrix and steppes ratsnake.</p><br>
<p>On the Mikhelson Rocks, not far from the island, live seals. Not knowing what a hunter is, they are completely unafraid of humans, and allow themselves to be photographed.</p><br>
<p>On the sandy bottom of the island&#39;s bays there are colonies of scallops, the largest in the Maritime Province.</p><br>
<h2>Epidemological circumstances</h2><br>
<p>On the island there have been noted cases of people contracting Japanese encephalitis.</p><br>
<h2>Climate</h2><br>
<p>The coldest month is January, when the average air temperature is -11 °C. The warmest month is August, when the average air temperature is 21 °C.</p><br>
<p>The water in August can warm up to 23-25 °C.</p><br>
<p>Mount Iwaki is a stratovolcano located in western Aomori Prefecture, Tohoku, Japan. It is also referred to as Tsugaru-Fuji from its shape. the mountain is listed as one of the 100 Famous Japanese Mountains in a book composed in 1964 by mountaineer/author Kyūya Fukada. The mountain and its surroundings are located within the borders of Tsugaru Quasi-National Park.</p><br>
<h2>Geology</h2><br>
<p>Mount Iwaki is a roughly symmetrical andesitic stratovolcano, rising in relative isolation from the plains at the base of Tsugaru Peninsula. Its summit crater is two kilometers wide, and it has three lava domes on the western and southern flanks. The mountain has frequently been active in historic times, with very frequent activity consisting mostly of small to moderate phreatic explosions during the Edo period. The last known eruption was on March 23, 1863. Hirosaki University has maintained an observatory with a total of 18 telemetering stations on the mountain since 1981.</p><br>
<h2>Climbing Mount Iwaki</h2><br>
<p>The summit, at 1625 meters, can be reached only by hiking, but the length of the hike depends on the route. From Iwakiyama Shrine, it takes approximately four hours to hike to the top. The trail starts from inside the shrine, before the large gates on the left. The easier and more popular route follows a road up to a ski lift. The skyline road starts from Highway 3 on the SW side of Mount Iwaki. At the end of the road there is a chair lift. From the top of the chair lift to the summit it takes around 30-40 minutes to hike.</p><br>
<h2>Getting there</h2><br>
<p>Like much of Aomori, the easiest way to get to Mount Iwaki is by car. The mountain is less than 20 mi from Hirosaki, with Highway 3 to the south and west and Highway 30 to the east and north. Alternately, buses run from Hirosaki to the base of the mountain.</p><br>
<p>Catoctin Furnace  is a historic iron forge located on Route 15 between Frederick and Thurmont in Catoctin Furnace, MD. The smelting blast furnace is shown. No forge is at the site now. Forges were present when the ironworks was operational.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Catoctin Furnace was constructed in 1774 by four brothers Thomas, Baker, Roger and James Johnson to produce pig iron from locally mined hematite.</p><br>
<p>In blast by 1776,</p><br>
<p>the furnace provided ammunition (cannonballs) for the American Revolutionary War.</p><br>
<p>Some sources state that it also provided cannon.</p><br>
<p>They also state that iron from this furnace was (much later of course) used to make plates for the USS Monitor</p><br>
<p>however that is considered unlikely by researchers.</p><br>
<p>The Johnson brothers owned the furnaces at the site at first collectively,</p><br>
<p>and after 1793 singly, until 1811.</p><br>
<p>Ultimately, three furnaces were built at the site, each named for the site.</p><br>
<p>The first Catoctin Furnace was rebuilt a short distance away in 1787.</p><br>
<p>The second, named Isabella was built in the 1850s by Jacob Kunkel (references give dates from 1853 to 1867).</p><br>
<p>It still stands, within Cunningham Falls State Park.</p><br>
<p>The first two furnaces burned charcoal.</p><br>
<p>The third, which opened in 1873, burned coke (some sources say anthracite coal, though this would be more costly).</p><br>
<p>The entire complex closed in 1903 (attributed to rising costs and the too-late introduction of a rail link).</p><br>
<h2>Present Day</h2><br>
<p>The furnaces remains are located in Cunningham Falls State Park. A walking-tour handout is available in the parks visitor center.</p><br>
<p>In 1973, the Catoctin Furnace Historical Society, Inc. was formed by G. Eugene Anderson, Clement E. Gardiner, J. Franklin Mentzer, and Earl M. Shankle to “foster and promote the restoration of the Catoctin Furnace Historic District…and to maintain the same exclusively for educational and scientific purposes…to exhibit to coming generations our heritage of the past…” The Catoctin Furnace Historical Society, Inc., celebrates, studies, and preserves the rich history of this pre-revolutionary industrial village, including the architecture, cultural landscapes, lifeways, and foodways of the workers.</p><br>
<p>The Daniel Sutherland House is located on Angola Road in Cornwall, New York, United States. It is the late-19th century Stick-Eastlake style home of Sutherland, a grandson of David Sutherland, whose Colonial-era house is located further south on the road.</p><br>
<p>Sutherland, a local lawyer of prominence, bought several acres of his ancestral lands from the then-owners, the Chedeayne estate, around 1875. Eleven years later, he built the house in a vernacular interpretation of the then-popular Stick style. After his death the following year, his wife remarried, and around the turn of the century the building was used as a rooming house.</p><br>
<p>It has remained largely intact since its construction, with some more contemporary outbuildings. Much of the interior woodwork and furnishings are originals. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.</p><br>
<p>Càrn nan Gobhar is a Scottish mountain situated on the northern side of Loch Mullardoch in the upper part of Glen Cannich. It stands some 50 kilometres west-southwest of the city of Inverness in a remote group of four Munros informally known as “The Mullardochs” which form the high ground between Loch Mullardoch and Loch Monar.</p><br>
<h2>Overview</h2><br>
<p>Càrn nan Gobhar reaches a height of 993 metres (3258 feet) and qualifies as a Munro and a Marilyn. Somewhat confusingly there is another Càrn nan Gobhar, also a Munro with exactly the same height situated 14 kilometres to the north east on the northern side of Glen Strathfarrar. Càrn nan Gobhar is the lowest of the four Munros on the north shore of Loch Mullardoch and is rather overshadowed by them. Topographically it is quite featureless, being mainly composed of rolling grassy slopes interspersed with patches of rock and scree, though with steeper slopes on the west and east flanks. The hill&#39;s name translates from the Gaelic as “Cairn (i.e. hill) of the Goats”</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Càrn nan Gobhar has three main ridges, giving the mountain a roughly triangular shape. The 3.5 km long SSE ridge passes over the subsidiary top of Mullach na Moille (761 metres) before swinging more easterly and dropping down to the eastern end of Loch Mullardoch. The north western ridge links to the adjoining Munro of Sgurr na Lapaich via the Bealach na Cloiche Duibhe. The north eastern ridge leads to the Munro “Top” of Creag Dubh (947 metres). Creag Dubh has a prominence of 93 metres and was designated as a mountain in Sir Hugh Munro’s original list of 1891, but was downgraded to a top in 1921. Its north eastern slopes are initially rocky as they drop down to the Glen Strathfarrar Forest.</p><br>
<p>Càrn nan Gobhar’s best feature is its south facing corrie of Coire an t-Sith (Corrie of the Fairies). It is drained by the Allt Mullardoch which descends to Loch Mullardoch in a series of small waterfalls. The corries well-constructed stalkers path can be utilised to make a high level circuit of the corrie which takes in the Munro summit and the “Top”. All drainage from the mountain is east to the Beauly Firth via the glens of Strathfarrar or Cannich.</p><br>
<h2>Ascent and summit</h2><br>
<p>The most convenient starting point for the ascent of Càrn nan Gobhar is the parking place at the end of the public road in Glen Cannich by the Loch Mullardoch dam at grid reference. The route follows the northern shore of the loch for 1.5 km before ascending steeply up the SSE ridge passing over Mullach na Moille on the way to the summit. The mountain is often climbed in conjunction with Sgurr na Lapaich and strong walkers will also take in the other two Mullardoch Munros of An Riabhachan and An Socach.</p><br>
<p>The summit of the mountain is a broad, flat north-south ridge with two cairned points 200 metres apart. The smaller northern cairn marks the summit and gives good views north to the Monar Forest Munros of Maoile Lunndaidh and Lurg Mhòr. It is also a good viewpoint for the corries and cliffs of nearby Sgurr na Lapaich.</p><br>
<p>Yule Island is a small island in Central Province, Papua New Guinea. It lies 160 km from Port Moresby.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Yule Island was probably named after Charles Bampfield Yule, a Royal Navy officer who surveyed the area from 1842-1845. It was one of the first areas in Central Province to have contact with Europeans. Catholic missionaries settled there in 1885 and are still present. The mission was successfully led from 1900 to 1945 by Bishop Alain Marie de Boismenu.</p><br>
<p>With the European missionaries came catechists from the Philippines, some of which married into the local population. Today, many inhabitants of Yule Island have distinct Filipino features.</p><br>
<p>The visit of Australian poet James McAuley to the mission at Yule Island in 1949 made a profound spiritual impression on him and contributed to his conversion to Catholicism.</p><br>
<h2>Fauna</h2><br>
<p>Yule Island is surrounded by coral reefs.</p><br>
<p>Several spider species are endemic to this island, including:</p><br>
<p>The jumping spider species Salticus perogaster and Plexippus brachypus</p><br>
<p>Heteropoda cyanognatha and Pandercetes longipes (Sparassidae)</p><br>
<p>Misumena arrogans and Stephanopis yulensis (Thomisidae)</p><br>
<p>The Early Pliocene Echinodermata fauna is rich and diverse, with 19 species known to occur in the Kairuku Formation. Nearly half of these species are also represented in northern Australia stocks, with the northern Great Barrier Reef only 600 km away.</p><br>

<p>The Mary Jane Colter Buildings are four structures at Grand Canyon National Park designed by Mary Colter:</p><br>
<p>Hermit&#39;s Rest, 1914</p><br>
<p>Desert View Watchtower, 1932</p><br>
<p>Lookout Studio, 1914 also known as The Lookout</p><br>
<p>Hopi House, 1905</p><br>
<p>As a set, they were declared a National Historic Landmark in 1987. Hopi House and the Lookout Studio are themselves included in the Grand Canyon Village Historic District, a National Historic Landmark district comprising the core of the densest development in the park. Hermit&#39;s Rest is located at the end of the paved road a few miles to the west of Grand Canyon Village. The Desert View Watchtower is the center of the Desert View visitor services area, about 12 mi to the east of Grand Canyon Village, and is itself encompassed by the Desert View Watchtower Historic District.</p><br>
<p>Hopi House is located on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, within Grand Canyon National Park in the USA state of Arizona. Built in 1904 as concessioner facilities at the South Rim were being developed, it is the first of eight projects at the Grand Canyon that were designed by architect Mary Colter, along with Bright Angel Lodge, Hermit&#39;s Rest, Lookout Studio, Phantom Ranch, Desert View Watchtower, Colter Hall and Victor Hall, . Hopi House was built by the Fred Harvey Company as a market for Native American crafts, made by artisans on the site. The Hopi, as the historic inhabitants of the area, were chosen as the featured artisans, and the building was designed to closely resemble a traditional Hopi pueblo. Hopi House opened on January 1, 1905, two weeks before the El Tovar Hotel, located just to the west, was opened.</p><br>
<h2>Design</h2><br>
<p>Mary Colter had worked on a number of projects for the Fred Harvey Company, principally as an architect and interior designer. She was particularly successful in a similar project, the Indian Building at the Fred Harvey Companys Alvarado Hotel (now demolished) in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Colter planned Hopi House as a sort of living museum, in which Hopi Indians could live while making and selling traditional crafts. The structure was based on Colters interpretation of the Hopi dwelling at Oraibi, Arizona. The ethnohistorically-correct structure was at the time of its construction the first introduction for many park visitors to the architecture and life of the native peoples of Arizona, New Mexico, Utah and Colorado. A variety of interior spaces provide museum, sales and demonstration space.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Hopi House is a stepped structure executed in sandstone of varying size, texture and coursing. The roof surfaces function as terraces in the same manner as traditional Hopi dwellings. Windows are small and sparse, with doorways on the same small scale. Interior walls are plastered with adobe, while ceilings are composed of saplings, twigs and grass covered with mud. Fireplaces are located in the corners of rooms. The old staircase to the second floor is decorated with murals by an unknown Hopi artist. The second floor houses a shrine, called a kiva, with Hopi religious artifacts. Floors on the second floor were made to look like adobe but were actually cement, which later in the 1930s the floor was laid with hard wood flooring. The third floor was used as an apartment for the building&#39;s former managers. It has since been updated and is now used as storage but a number of original features have been preserved. Most of the original furnishings in the main level, were picked out by Colter, have been preserved.</p><br>
<h2>Historic designation</h2><br>
<p>Hopi House is a component of the multi-site Mary Jane Colter Buildings National Historic Landmark, It was incorporated into the National Historic Landmark group on May 28, 1987.</p><br>
<p>Fort Lookout, also known as Redoubt A, is a defensive earthworks erected during the American Civil War on the outskirts of Camden, Arkansas. It was the northernmost of a series of five redoubts built in defense of the city by Confederate Army forces in early 1864, preparatory to the Union Army&#39;s Camden Expedition . The site has been designated a National Historic Landmark as part of the Camden Expedition Sites, a collection of military sites related to the expedition.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Fort Lookout is a rectangular earthworks located on a bluff 50 ft overlooking a bend in the Ouachita River. Immediately west of the main works is an L-shaped redoubt which commands potential fording sites at the base of the bluff. Each of these sites was capable of mounting at least six guns of the period. The site is located about 1 mi west of United States Route 79, off Gravel Pit Road. The main earthworks has been partially compromised by the construction of a home near its midsection. The rest of the site has reverted to forest, and is otherwise in good condition. Remnant trenches lead away from the main works along the ridge to the east.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Brigadier General General Alexander T. Hawthorn, a Camden native, had been given the task of organizing the citys defenses. From January to March Confederate troops and slave labor worked to develop a series of five redoubts, mainly to protect the southern and western land-based approaches to the city. Union Major General Frederick Steele, in command of the forces occupying Little Rock, was ordered to move southwest to effect a junction with Major General Nathaniel Prentice Banks Red River Campaign, a push to take Shreveport, Louisiana and eventually gain a Union foothold in Texas. Steeles force left Little Rock on March 23, 1864, passing through thinly-populated southwestern Arkansas. His advance was blunted at the Battle of Prairie DAne (April 9–13). Needing provisions, Steele ordered his forces to march on Camden, which they occupied on April 15 after it was abandoned by its small number of defenders. During the Unions brief (ten-day) occupation, the defenses were expanded with additional trenches and earthworks. Steele was prompted to reconsider the continued occupation of Camden after supply-related initiatives were set back at Poison Spring (April 18) and Marks Mills (April 25), and withdrew from Camden toward Little Rock on April 26.</p><br>
<p>Camden&#39;s defenses were further expanded after Confederate forces reoccupied the city. A weak point that was known to both sides, the waterfront area, was fortified in October 1864. By the end of the year a complete trench line encircled the city.</p><br>
<p>Lake Rosalind is a small inland lake located in Bruce County, Ontario, Canada between the towns of Hanover and Walkerton. Lake Rosalind and the interconnected Marl Lake to its south are manmade lakes that were created by the excavation of marl for local cement plants in the early 1900s and the construction of dams later in 1939 and 1946. Both lakes are relatively shallow and small in area . Marl Lake receives Lake Rosalind&#39;s overflow through a culvert, and there is also an interconnected "North Lake" to the north of Lake Rosalind. Almost the entire lakefront is developed, with mostly small properties that have been "urbanized" with hardened shorelines and manicured lawns. The high level of development resulted from the proximity of Hanover and Walkerton and excellent road system in the area.</p><br>
<p>The major source of water for the lake is from groundwater aquifers; there are no major streams or creeks that flow into the lake. There is minimal surface runoff from surrounding land, which is used for agricultural purposes. Lake Rosalind is considered a headwater lake and provides water for the Saugeen River. Little forest cover remains around the lake. In the fall of 2006, Lake Rosalind was infested with blue-green algae, which put a sudden halt to all water-related activities. Over the winter the algae died off, but residents are urged to not use lawn fertilizers and to keep their shoreline natural.</p><br>
