<p>Christ Church refers to both an Episcopal parish currently located in Matapeake, Maryland and the historic church building located in the Stevensville Historic District in Stevensville, Maryland, which the parish occupied from 1880 to 1995, and that is now a Lutheran church. Christ Church Parish was one of the original 30 Anglican parishes in the Province of Maryland.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Christ Episcopal Church of Kent Island is recognized as the states oldest Christian congregation. It was founded in 1632 by the Reverend Richard James, one year after Kent Island was founded by William Claiborne, and two years before settlers arrived at St. Clements Island. The parish has used at least six buildings during its history. The church&#39;s original location was at Kent Fort. It moved to Broad Creek in 1652, and was rebuilt there in 1712 and again in 1826. The church moved again to Stevensville in 1880 as activity shifted there from Broad Creek, and to its current location in Matapeake in 1995 due to the need for a larger building. Of the six buildings, only the 1880 and 1995 buildings are standing today. The 1880 building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<p>Today, Christ Church is part of the Episcopal Diocese of Easton and owns and operates Camp Wright, a summer camp in Matapeake, which serves as the diocesan camp. The historic building is now the principal church of the Anglo-Lutheran Catholic Church.</p><br>
<p>Lotru-Ciunget Dam and Hydro Power Plant is a large hydroelectric complex on the Lotru River situated in Romania and one of the biggest complex facilities in Europe. The complex consists of three hydroelectric power plants. The first and most productive one is Ciunget, the second one is Malaia and the third one is Bradisor which, just as Ciunget is an underground power plant.</p><br>
<p>The river which fills the dams is called Lotru. The first dam is called Vidra Lake and is one of the biggest artificial lakes in Romania. The dam supplies water to the Ciunget power plant via an 800-metre drop underground pipe. All the used water is recollected via an underground piping system and flows to the Malaia dam where is the second power plant. Malaia dam is a smaller dam and produces less electricity, mainly locally. From the second dam, the used water collects into the Bradisor dam. The Bradisor dam has a bigger capability of producing electricity than the Malaia dam and provides electricity to the Romanian national grid. Bradisor power plant is situated under a mountain in order to make the fall of water greater, thus more electricity.</p><br>
<p>The project was started and finished in the 1970s and it was made up by the construction of a rockfill with a clay core dam 140 m high and an underground power plant equipped with three hydrounits, having an installed capacity of 510 MW. The Pelton type turbines operate under a net head of about 800 m. A 220 kV outdoor substation connects the plant to the Romanian electric grid.</p><br>
<p>The Ciunget hydro power plant entered revision and modernisation in 2007. This includes new generators to increase the electricity outflow. The modernisation period is expected to be finished in late 2010.</p><br>
<p>The power plant generates 1.15 TW·h (billion kW·h) of electricity per year.</p><br>
<p>The George W. South Memorial Church of the Advocate, also known as the George W. South Memorial Protestant Episcopal Church, is a historic church at 18th and Diamond Street in North Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The church was built from 1887 to 1897 as a memorial to the merchant and civil leader George W. South. The church was designed by Charles Marquedant Burns (1838 – 1922), a prominent church architect in the late 19th and early 20th century. It was intended to serve as the Episcopal Cathedral of Philadelphia.</p><br>
<p>On July 29, 1974, the church was the site of the ordination of the Philadelphia Eleven, the first women priests in the Episcopal Church.</p><br>
<p>The church contains a series of 14 murals depicting vignettes of the Black experience in America, including slavery, emancipation, and scenes from the Civil Rights Movement. They were painted between 1973 and 1976 by Philadelphia artist Walter Edmonds The murals can be found primarily in the transepts and aisles of the church. Father Washington commissioned the murals in response to black parishioners who felt that the African-American experience was not validated in the church despite the fact that the majority of the community was African-American. Each of the fourteen murals was painted by either Edmonds or Watson, each of whom has a very different artistic style. Edmonds’s pieces are mostly in fiery shades of orange and yellow and depict the violent oppression of blacks in America. Watson, on the other hand, used a cooler palette in his paintings to express sorrow in the black experience and the importance of memorializing this history as a way to find courage for the future.</p><br>
<p>The church was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980, and was designated a National Historic Landmark on June 19, 1996. The landmark designation cited the church as one of the finest examples of Gothic Revival architecture, with a complete set of stained glass windows provided by the English firm Clayton & Bell. It also cited the church&#39;s ongoing role in activism for African American civil rights.</p><br>
<p>The Church of the Advocate serves as host space for, a Black art performance program in the heart of the Black community.</p><br>
<p>St. Peter the Apostle Church was a Roman Catholic church located within the Archdiocese of Baltimore in Baltimore, Maryland. Constructed at the northwest corner of Hollins and South Poppleton Streets  and , it was often referred to as "The Mother Church of West Baltimore."</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The church was built in 1842 to minister to the growing Irish population of old West Baltimore, who had immigrated to the city in vast numbers to work for the B&O Railroad.</p><br>
<p>Robert Cary Long, Jr., a prominent local "ecumenical architect," (both secular and religious) and son of a similarly famous accomplished father of the same name designed the church in the Greek revival style with imposing granite pillars gracing the facade of the building. Its appearance is similar to the now landmark Lloyd Street Synagogue off East Baltimore Street, also designed by Long, a year later for the Baltimore Hebrew Congregation in the Jonestown/Old Town neighborhood of East Baltimore, across the Jones Falls. Among others, Long also designed the third church for Old St. Paul&#39;s (1814-1817) which burned in 1854. and the Franklin Street Presbyterian Church</p><br>
<p>(1847) at Cathedral and West Franklin Streets The design was based on Athens&#39; Temple of Hephaestus. The interior of the church features a large, open nave furnished with wooden pews. Behind the altar stood in an apse adorned with white columns, and punctuated with an imposing white marble tabernacle. It contained statues of angels and the holy family, and was topped with a large statue of Saint Peter. The inscription above the tabernacle read, "Tu Es Petrus," a reference to the biblical passage, "You are Peter, and on this rock I will build my Church" (Matt. 16:18). The church also had a historic tracker organ designed by Henry Niemann. The organ was removed to storage when the building was sold to Carter Memorial Church of God in Christ in 2012.</p><br>
<p>The name of the church was transferred to here upon the closing of the colonial red-brick church, rectory, school and small surrounding cemetery and its subsequent razing in 1841 of the original St. Peters Roman Catholic Church. This older parish had been founded in 1770 as the first "Roman Catholic Congregation of Baltimore Town" with new immigrants of Acadians - French Canadians expelled recently from their colony of Acadia, now the British-occupied province of Nova Scotia after the losses by France in North America from the French and Indian War (known in Europe as the Seven Years War, 1756-1763) who settled along the southwestern shores of "The Basin" (now Inner Harbor) of the Patapsco River which became known as "Frenchtown", beyond the intersection of Forest (South Charles) and King George (now West Lombard) Streets. With the joining of some additional Irish settlers, the Roman Catholic population of the new Baltimore Town was growing with the first Mass being said by the Rev. John Ashton from Doughoregan Manor from the Carroll&#39;s country estate in the late 1760s to 1770, coming to the town about once a month. The congregation seldom exceeded twenty worshippers and seldom exceeded forty.</p><br>
<p>The original St. Peters building was the "Pro-Cathedral" of the Diocese from 1791 to 1821 and the first church used as Roman Catholic Cathedral in the United States. Father John Carroll was named the first bishop for the United States in 1789, installed the following year as Ordinary of the new Diocese of Baltimore, "The Premier See." His seat was at old St. Peters.</p><br>
<p>The older church was located at the northwestern corner of Forest Street (later North Charles) and XXX Lane (later West Saratoga Street), opposite the Old St. Pauls Anglican Parish on the southeastern corner situated above the rugged cliffs to the east overlooking the Jones Falls loop to the northeast around "Steigers Meadow", below the new Baltimore County and Town Courthouse (just constructed in the new Courthouse Square at the north edge of the town at Calvert Street between New Church Street (now East Lexington Street) and Fish Lane (now East Fayette Street) a year after when the county seat was re-located here from Old Joppa in 1767. The new path of St. Paul&#39;s Lane (later Street/Place) ran north and south just below the heights where the two churches were located.</p><br>
<p>Founded in 1692 as one of the Original Thirty parishes in the Province/Colony of Maryland for the Church of England (Anglican), the Parish Church for the County had been moved shortly after the founding of the new larger town in 1729 on The Basins headwaters. Its first location was near Colgate Creek on the Patapsco Neck peninsula in southeastern Baltimore County between the Patapsco and the Back River. St. Pauls built the first brick building in town for its worship and took many years to complete until 1739. So it seems an unusual situation of having Catholics and Anglicans facing across from each other for weekly services only forty years after the beginnings of Baltimore and this continued for the next seventy years of its history.</p><br>
<p>In 1821 the bishops chair was transferred to the new Cathedral. The new cathedral was designed by Benjamin Latrobe and located a block further north on the newly named Cathedral Street and intersecting West Franklin and Mulberry Streets. No longer a pro-Cathedral, Old St. Peters continued as the downtown community&#39;s parish for another twenty years. Gradually the members of the parish began moving northwestward and to the west for other residential areas being constructed as the center became increasingly filled with stores, shops and manufactories. By the early 1840s, the Archdiocese was ready to make a move with a new church building for an old name.</p><br>
<p>The new neighborhood in inner West Baltimore later acquired the name of "Union Square" for the prominent small landscaped park in its center. This joined a series of other parks and squares such as Arlington and Franklin which dotted the residential landscape of the western side of the burgeoning city as grids of rowhouses were extended north and south as it grew westward. The New Church itself along South Poppleton and Hollins Streets was part of a complex of several buildings, including a church rectory, a convent, and a school.</p><br>
<p>Founded by the Rev. Edward McColgan, who served for over thirty years. The cornerstone for the new church was laid on May 23, 1843, by the Bishop of New York City, the Right Rev. John Hughes assisted by the Right Rev. Kendrick, Bishop of Philadelphia and was dedicated later by Archbishop Samuel Eccleston of Baltimore, and Bishops J. J. Chance, John Hughes and several others on September 22, 1844. Father McColgan was instrumental in having the Sisters of Mercy come to the church later in 1855 to teach at St. Peter School, a female academy adjoining the church and established a handsome residence at neighboring 12 South Poppleton Street. In addition to their educational duties, the Sisters also assisted the poor and sick of the community by opening the "House of Mercy for distressed women". Father McColgan became the superior of the order in Maryland, was responsible for establishing the first Catholic temperance society in the city in 1849, as he called a mass meeting of meat packers in the western city and encouraged them to "take the pledge" to abstain from intoxicating drinks which became the nucleus of the St. Peter&#39;s Society, the largest Catholic temperance society in Baltimore. Later in 1878, he was appointed vicar-general of the Archdiocese replacing the late Rev. Dubreal.</p><br>
<p>The limits of the parish grew so much in the early years by 1865, that a second church was established (St. Martin&#39;s at Fulton Avenue and West Fayette Street) and dedicated in 1867. St. Peter the Apostle was twice enlarged during its first forty years. In the summer of 1868, a thorough renovation was made with several improvements such as the addition of fifty-four pews, the building extended eastwardly, sanctuary rebuilt, gallery reconstructed, stained glass windows installed from Munich, Germany and the ceiling frescoed and ornamented. This phase was rededicated by Archbishop Martin Spalding, April 4, 1869. The dimensions were now 150 feet in length and 73 feet in width, finished in a Corinthian style of architecture although the exterior is with six Doric columns out front. Archbishop James Gibbons consecrated the building on May 1, 1879, assisted by Bishops Thomas A. Becker of Wilmington, Delaware and J. J. Kain of Wheeling, West Virginia.</p><br>
<p>Up to 1881, those who served as assistants at St. Peters were the Rev. John Hickey, Rev. William D. Parsons, Rev. OTool, Rev. Lawrence McCauley, D.D., Rev. John S. Foley D.D., Rev. P. McCoy, Rev. Edmund Didier, Rev. Henry Reardon, and Rev. Gerard H. Nyssen. Assistant pastors were Revs. Owen Corrigan and again Gerard H. Nyssen.</p><br>
<p>A parish cemetery was acquired and was situated on Liberty Road to the northwest.</p><br>
<h2>Renovation in 1967</h2><br>
<p>Another renovation, done in 1967, brought the church to the attention of the newly formed Baltimore City Commission on Historical and Architectural Preservation.</p><br>
<p>Throughout its history, the congregation of St. Peter the Apostle Church ministered to those in need, and was also active in community organization efforts. In 1965, pastor Thomas J. Donellan formed the Southwest Baltimore Citizens Planning Council, along with four other area churches, to bring identity and renewal to their Hollins Park neighborhood. At one time the former convent housed a Christian Life Center, which provided recreation and development programs.</p><br>
<p>In later years declining numbers of parishioners and priests limited the number of services that the church held, and the final regularly scheduled Mass was said at St. Peter on Saturday, January 26, 2008. Thereafter the church was only used for weddings, funerals and special occasions. The churches of St. Martin, St. Peter, and St. Jerome merged and formed a new parish known as the Transfiguration Catholic Community.</p><br>
<h2>Closing</h2><br>
<p>St. Peter&#39;s Church was closed after 165 years of service. The church was stripped of everything Catholic, and sold to the Carter Memorial Church of God in Christ 2012. The angels on either side of the Tabernacle were removed and given to St. Ambrose Church. Statues and other relics were removed to other churches in the Archdiocese. The pipe organ, built by Baltimore builder Henry Niemann in 1890 has been placed in storage, pending its location to another church.</p><br>
<p>The Church of the Holy Comforter, built in 1872, is an historic Carpenter Gothic church located on Main Street, in Brownsville, Minnesota, on the west bank of the Mississippi River in the United States. It began as an Episcopal church, but later became a Methodist Episcopal church. In the 1940s, it became Emmanuel Lutheran Church. It had been vacant since 1963. On June 2, 1970, the church was added to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>

<p>Kawagama Lake is located on the northwestern border of Haliburton and Muskoka counties in Central Ontario, Canada.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Kawagama lake is the largest lake in Haliburton county, it does not have any towns or settlements on it. From the northwestern bay (Fletcher Bay) to its southeastern tip (the Hollow River) it is over 16 km in length. In its central area, it is 2.5 km. It has two marinas ( Mountain Trout House and Old Mill Marina) and two access points. The word "kawagama" is Native for "hollow". At the northeast end of Kawagama Lake it connects to Bear Lake.</p><br>
<p>The main area of the lake has eight inhabited islands, one housing a camp called Moorelands camp for underprivileged children from the Greater Toronto Area.</p><br>
<p>The maximum depth of the lake is 67 m with an average depth of 21 m. The shoreline is approximately 83 km long. The Ministry of Natural Resources controls the lake level.</p><br>
<p>Fourteen creeks and small rivers feed Kawagama Lake, the two main ones are the short Bear River and the Hollow River. The Hollow River flows into the Lake of Bays.</p><br>
<h2>Wild life</h2><br>
<p>Kawagama lake is home to water birds such as loons and ducks, mammals such as black bears, moose, deer, foxes and raccoons and fish such as lake trout and bass.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>The communities of Dorset, Dwight and Baysville are the closest settlements, while the largest major settlement is Huntsville.</p><br>
<p>Hurupaki Mountain is in Kamo, Whangarei, New Zealand. The centre of Hurupaki Mountain lies between Three Mile Bush Road and Dip Road, approximately 1.5 kilometres west of Kamo township. Hurupaki Mountain is visible from State Highway 1.</p><br>
<h2>Characteristics</h2><br>
<p>Hurupaki Mountain is a high scoria cone that is thought to be about 300,000 years old. It is part of the Puhipuhi-Whangarei volcanic field. This volcanic area is similar to the Auckland volcanic field in that it has formed over a type of hot spot in the mantle, i.e. not at a current plate boundary.</p><br>
<p>The Whangarei Field is older than the Auckland field, in fact Hurupaki is probably one of the younger centres. There is another basaltic field in Northland, and that is the Kaikohe-Bay of Islands field. That also has some young scoria cones and lava flows. Both of these Northland Fields are older than the Auckland Field.</p><br>
<p>Hurupaki Mountain is a steep sided, partly bush-covered scoria cone. It is 1–2 km in diameter and 170m high, and has been extensively quarried on the west side. One quarry exposes an eruption sequence showing that magma variation occurred during eruption. The east side shows an excellent example of a young scoria cone. A multivented cone forms a smaller knoll approximately 400 metres to the east, less than 150 metres high, on which a few houses stand. This is an east most cone of a group of three centres: (east to west) Hurupaki, Rawhitiroa and Ngararatunua.</p><br>
<h2>Pre European History of Hurupaki Mountain</h2><br>
<p>Hurupaki is a Māori word and means to cover with a cloak. Hurupaki Mountain was once a large Māori pa with a considerable number of pits and terraces. When occupied the pa would have been clear of trees. The slopes of the hill were terraced to provide flat areas on which to build houses, construct storage pits and as general living areas.</p><br>
<p>The pa has about 70 pits on it; most of these were probably used as underground storage for kumara and berries, grown on the slopes of the hill. Some of the shallow pits and terraces would have had whares built on them.</p><br>
<p>The Maori chief, Pohe, had his pa on the mountain, and was of chief most of the area within the Whangarei district as so claimed by his descendants. He was the right-hand man of Hone Heke, and was trusted by Heke to fulfill his role as guardian of the Whangarei Harbour and Kamo West are, known as Nga-rara-i-tunua.</p><br>
<h2>Present day</h2><br>
<p>Today Hurupaki Mountain is partly farmed (cows and sheep), there is also a small pine tree plantation and the rest is in native bush. There is public access to the top of the mountain, - although there is no viewing platform at the top.</p><br>
<p>The Carroll Mansion  is a historic building and museum located in Baltimore, Maryland, USA.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was built around 1811, at the corner of what is now known as Lombard and Front Streets, which at the time was a very wealthy part of Baltimore. In 1818 it was purchased for the sum of $20,000 by Richard Caton, the husband of Mary, youngest daughter of Charles Carroll of Carrollton, a signer of the Declaration of Independence. For the last twelve years of his life, Charles Carroll spent his winters in the house, often receiving distinguished visitors there. It was in this house that he died.</p><br>
<p>The Catons continued to reside at the mansion until 1846, when the last of the Caton family died.</p><br>
<p>The mansion remained empty for the next eleven years and was purchased in 1855 by the Sisters of Mercy. The neighborhood underwent a drastic change in the eleven years prior to 1855 and had gone from the wealthiest part of town to the home of poor immigrants. The Sisters of Mercy rented the once grand mansion to immigrants who turned the first floor into a saloon and the second floor into apartments for German and Russian Jews, until 1868 when the Sisters sold the mansion for the paltry sum of $1,000.</p><br>
<p>Over the next forty years, Carroll Mansion served as a saloon, furniture store, and in 1904 news articles report that the mansion was being used as a sweatshop to produce clothing.</p><br>
<p>In 1914 the mansion was deeded to the City of Baltimore and in 1918 it became Baltimores first vocational school. The mansions larger rooms were used as classrooms and the grounds housed the various trade shops. The vocational school continued to operate and offer courses in tailoring, printing, and auto mechanics until 1928. In 1928 the Carroll Mansion was restored and opened to the public with exhibits of antiques.</p><br>
<p>The Carroll Mansion underwent major renovations in 1935 to include showers, indoor toilets, and a new heating system and served as The Carroll Mansion Recreation Center from 1937 to 1954, at which time the doors were closed once again.</p><br>
<p>In the 1960s the mansion was slated to be torn down and a gas station built where the mansion stood for the last 150 years. The citizens of Baltimore protested said plans, and upon his election in 1962, on a platform emphasizing urban renewal, Mayor Theodore McKeldin pledged that the historic Carroll Mansion would be fully restored. After major restoration efforts, the doors of the Carroll Mansion opened to the public once again in 1967 as a museum and a collection of antiques to mirror the 1820s and 1830s when the Caton and Carroll families occupied the mansion was started. In 1985 the mansion became part of the Baltimore City Life Museums and the collection was expanded to include wallpaper, paint, china, silver, and furniture of the 1820s and 1830s. The mansion operated as a museum for thirty years, from 1967 to 1997, when the doors closed yet again.</p><br>
<p>The museum remained closed until 2002 when Carroll Museums, Inc. reopened the museum. The Carroll Museum remains open today where tours are offered to the public. Changing art exhibits are also displayed.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The Carroll Mansion is one of Baltimore&#39;s best examples of Federal Period architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.</p><br>
<p>Hot Springs Mountain is located in the Peninsular Ranges in California. The mountain rises to an elevation of 6,535 ft and is the highest point in San Diego County. Some snow falls on the mountain peak during winter. It is located in a remote region of the county, 4 miles from the community of Warner Springs, 12 miles from Borrego Springs, and 50 miles from San Diego. The mountain and its immediate surroundings belong to the Los Coyotes Band of Cahuilla and Cupeno Indians. As of 2011, the mountain can be accessed via a gated dirt road, and prospective hikers are admitted to the reservation subject to a nominal entry fee.</p><br>
<p>The peak offers a spectacular view of San Diego, Riverside, San Bernardino, and Imperial counties on a clear day. To the north, Mount San Jacinto and Mount San Gorgonio can be seen, and on a very clear day, Mount Baldy (Mount San Antonio) can be seen too. Toro Peak and San Rosa Mountain are visible due northeast. Looking east, the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park is visible, along with the Salton Sea. Visible to the south is Cuyamaca Peak, the second highest point in San Diego County. On a very clear day, urban San Diego can be seen across the mountains. Finally, to the west, the extreme vastness of the Pacific Ocean is visible, even Catalina Island. The furthest point visible to the south is Picacho Del Diablo of the San Pedro De Martir Mountains over one hundred and fifty miles away. Palomar Mountain is also a point of interest. Tree species found on the mountain peak include Jeffrey Pine, White Fir, Incense Cedar, and a few remaining Limber Pine can be found beneath the lookout tower.</p><br>
<p>From 2010 through 2012, the mountain and the surrounding land were leased by the tribe to a military training business, Eagle Rock Training Center. The business was evicted in early 2012 at the conclusion of an acrimonious court dispute.</p><br>
<p>Ghizo Island, home to Gizo, the capital of the Western Province, Solomon Islands. The island is named after an infamous local head-hunter. It is located west of New Georgia and Kolombangara. Ghizo is home to a substantial number of people of I-Kiribati descent. These people were relocated there by the British administration of the British Solomon Islands Protectorate in the 1950s. They had previously spent 20 years on the islands of Orona  and Nikumaroro , having been resettled on these previously uninhabited islands in the Phoenix Group from various islands in the Gilberts archipelago in the 1930s. The original resettlement in the 1930s was on alleged grounds of overcrowding, particularly on drought prone islands in the southern Gilberts. The second resettlement was on alleged grounds of the islands in the Phoenix group having harsh living conditions and also prone to drought, although remoteness and costs falling on the colonial administration also played parts. See also Wagina Island.</p><br>
<p>Ghizo is relatively small when compared to the surrounding islands, the island is 11 km long and 5 km wide, with a summit elevation of 180 m (Maringe Hill).</p><br>
<p>Bahía Buen Suceso is a small bay in Argentina&#39;s Tierra del Fuego province. It is known in English as Bay of Good Success, Bay of Success and Success Bay. It is located on the western shore of Le Maire Strait, which separates Tierra del Fuego and Isla de los Estados .</p><br>
<p>The bay was named during the Garcia de Nodal expedition of 1618-1619 after the caravel Nuestra Señora del Buen Suceso.</p><br>
<p>The bay was used as a watering point by Cook on his first</p><br>
<p>, entry for 17 Dec 1832</p><br>
<p>and second voyages; by King</p><br>
<p>, entries for 24 May and 4 June 1830.</p><br>
<p>in 1830 and by Fitzroy and Darwin</p><br>
<p>(The Voyage of the Beagle), entry for 17 December 1832</p><br>
<p>during the second voyage of in December 1832.</p><br>
<p>According to King:</p><br>
<p>Good Success Bay is an excellent anchorage for vessels of any size to stop in for wood or water; but it would not answer if a vessel required to lie steady for repair, as a swell frequently rolls in. It is quite safe, yet, in the winter season, when easterly gales are common, no vessel should anchor so near the head of the bay as she might in summer; for heavy rollers at times (though rarely) set in. Fish we did not try to get, not having spare time, and only a few birds were shot.</p><br>
<p>The Tennessee Brewery building stands at the intersection of Butler and Tennessee streets in Memphis, Tennessee. It is directly on the bluff overlooking the Mississippi River. The building once housed the Tennessee Brewing Company, a leader in early brewery production.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The brewery was originally organized in 1877 by G.H. Herbers as "The Memphis Brewing Company". In 1885, it was bought by J. W. Schorr, Casper Koehler, and associates, and soon became one of the largest breweries of the era.</p><br>
<p>The first beer marketed from the brewery was a Pilsener. Like many other brands of the time, the beers were not usually named. Instead, the type or style of the beer was used as the name, along with the name of the brewery. They also produced several other beer styles. An ad from 1890 lists their styles as Pilsener, Export, Budweiser, Tennessee Pale, and Bavarian. Later, two new brands called Columbian Extra Pale and Erlanger were also produced, before prohibition shut down operations.</p><br>
<p>At one point, more than 1500 workers worked at the brewery. By 1903, production was up to 250,000 barrels per year making it the largest brewery in the south. Prohibition shut down operations, however after prohibition ended, the plant was reopened by J. W.&#39;s son, John Schorr. Very rapidly, they got back up to production speed, and the best known and leading beer sold in Memphis for many years was "Goldcrest". After 1938 the beer was named "Goldcrest 51", to honor more than 51 years in the brewing business.</p><br>
<p>Goldcrest 51 was a bottled beer until 1947, when they started using cans. As a somewhat local beer, the brewery actually used returned bottles up until they ceased all operations, in 1954.</p><br>
<p>The building that remains today was erected in 1890 and is basically unchanged from that time (other than renovations performed to keep the building intact for possible further development in the future). The bottling plant was an add-on to the building much later, in 1938. Plans have been made in the past to turn the building into condominiums or shopping space, however none of these have occurred.</p><br>
<h2>Current status</h2><br>
<p>The Tennessee Brewery was previously owned by The Tennessee Brewery LLC. The 65,720 ft&sup2; property was appraised in 2005 at $248600. Brewery Tennessee LLC transferred the property for $350000 to The Tennessee Brewery LLC in 1999. It was transferred to Brewery Tennessee LLC in 1995 from Marvin Ratner.</p><br>
<p>After the Tennessee Brewery "Untapped" event held there during the spring of 2014, the revived interest in the brewery led it to be purchased for $825000 by Billy Orgel, a cell phone tower developer based in Memphis.</p><br>
<p>The event was held again, as a "Revival" in the spring of 2015, before development work began on the building that fall.</p><br>
<p>The current owner of record is "495 Tennessee LLC". Modification work has been done to turn the building into apartments, and units are available for reservations on an as available basis.</p><br>
<p>The Race Street Meetinghouse is an historic and still active Quaker meetinghouse at 1515 Cherry Street at the corner of N. 15th Street in the Center City area of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The meetinghouse served as the site of the Yearly Meeting of the Hicksite sect of the Religious Society of Friends  from 1857 to 1955.</p><br>
<p>Built in 1856 by the Philadelphia Yearly Meeting and what is now known as Central Philadelphia Monthly Meeting, a building 131 feet long by 80 feet wide was set fairly close to its Cherry Street frontage but sufficiently far back from Race Street to provide a pleasant open yard. The structure built was not just one meeting house, but two, so arranged and divided that either party could dispose of its property without affecting the property of the other. Construction brought two meeting rooms 36 feet high, the northern chamber being 60 feet by 80; the southern, 46 by 80. Each had "youth&#39;s galleries" on three sides. Between the two meetinghouses, and exceeding them by 16 feet in total width, was a 25-by-96-foot three-story structure containing large rooms for committee meetings and other purposes.</p><br>
<p>The Race Street Meetinghouse was at the forefront of womens involvement both in Quaker religion and in American political activism. Many leaders in the Womens Movement were associated with this meetinghouse; these included abolitionist and women&#39;s rights activist Lucretia Mott, peace activist Hannah Clothier Hull, and suffrage leader and Equal Rights Amendment author Alice Paul.</p><br>
<p>The meetinghouse was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1993 for its role in the abolition of slavery, the advancement of women&#39;s suffrage, and the civil rights movement.</p><br>
<p>The Meetinghouse is part of the Friends Center campus, which includes the National Office of the American Friends Service Committee, Friends World Committee for Consultation, Philadelphia Yearly Meeting, and the Greater Philadelphia Chapter of the United Nations Association. It is the site of a copy of Sylvia Shaw Judson&#39;s statue of Mary Dyer, the 17th-century Quaker martyr. The Friends Meeting Center, built in 1974, was designed by Cope & Lippincott.</p><br>
<p>Kryoneri  is a little village near Olympia, Elis, Greece. It is situated on the southwestern edge of the Foloi oak forest. It is 2 km south of Neraida, 4 km west of Doukas, 3 km east of Chelidoni and 9 km northeast of Olympia. Its population in 2011 was 139.</p><br>
<h2>Population</h2><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The old name for Kryoneri, Basta (still used in the region), is Italian. The Venetians planted olives, and built the partially finished Venetian castle in Kionia.</p><br>
<p>The Black Death (1347–1350), along with malaria, devastated much of Elis&#39; population. All inhabitants of the villages Basta, Kaloletsi (now Neraida) and Milies had died. After the plague 10,000 Orthodox Christian Albanians settled in the area, invited by Despot of the Morea Manuel Kantakouzenos. Until the beginning of the 20th century, the people from Basta spoke both Greek and Arvanitika. In 1928 the name of the village was changed to the present Kryoneri ("cold water"), a signal that Arvanitika was no longer widely spoken. The children of Basta no longer learn or speak Albanian.</p><br>
<p>Between 1836 and 1912, it was a part of the municipality of Oleni within the Elis prefecture. Between 1912 and 1932 it was part of the independent community Chelidoni. Basta was renamed to Kryoneri in 1928. In 1932, Kryoneri became an independent community. Kryoneri was renamed to Monastiri in 1940, but this was reverted in 1953. Since 1998 Kryoneri is part of the municipality Archaia Olympia.</p><br>
<p>The Bemis Bag Company Building is a historic building located at 1102-1118 Jones Street in downtown Omaha, Nebraska. Built in 1887 in a commercial style, the building was designed by the prolific Omaha architecture firm of Mendelssohn and Lawrie. It was designated an Omaha Landmark on September 12, 1978, and was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 11, 1985. In addition to its own listing on the NRHP, the Building is also included in the Warehouses in Omaha Multiple Property Submission.</p><br>
<p>The Bemis Company was a national leader in the manufacturing and sale of bags and sacks for flour, grain, and other commodities. It had warehouses and manufacturing facilities in several cities across the United States. This building cost about $40,000 to build.</p><br>
<p>Almopia , or Enotia, also known in the Middle Ages as Moglena , is a municipality and a former province  of the Pella regional unit in Macedonia, Greece. The seat of the municipality is the town Aridaia. The municipality has an area of 985.817 km.</p><br>
<h2>Name and history</h2><br>
<p>The name Almopia (Ἀλμωπία, Almōpia) derives from the Almopes (Ἀλμῶπες), the tribe that originally inhabited the area during Antiquity. The Almopes traced their descent to the eponymous mythological figure of Almops, son of Poseidon and Helle. According to Thucidydes, the Almopes were expelled from the region when it was incorporated into the ancient Macedonian kingdom during the reign of Alexander I (r. 498–454 BC). The 2nd-century astronomer and geographer Claudius Ptolemy records three cities in the region in his Geography: Horma (Ὅρμα), Europos (Εὔρωπος) and Apsalos (Ἄψαλος).</p><br>
<p>In the early Byzantine period, the area was renamed to Enotia (Greek: Ενωτία) after a nearby fortress, probably in the vicinity of modern Notia. The name was revived between 1915 and 1927 for the Greek province as well.</p><br>
<p>In the later Middle Ages, the area was known as Moglena (Greek: Μογλενά, Меглен, Мъглен), from the Slavic word for "fog". Until the early 11th century, Moglena was a province of the First Bulgarian Empire. Captured by the Byzantine emperor Basil II in 1015, it is attested as the seat of a bishopric in 1020, and as capital of its own theme in 1086. The area remained under Byzantine rule until the aftermath of the Fourth Crusade, when it was captured by Tsar Kaloyan of the Second Bulgarian Empire.</p><br>
<p>In Ottoman times, the region was also known by its Turkish name Karacaova or Karadjova ("Black Valley", Greek: Καρατζόβα).</p><br>
<p>Until the Greco-Turkish War (1919–1922) and the population exchange between Greece and Turkey in 1924, Pomaks inhabited a large part of the regions of Moglena.</p><br>
<h2>Municipality</h2><br>
<p>The municipality Almopia was formed at the 2011 local government reform by the merger of the following 2 former municipalities, that became municipal units:</p><br>
<p>Aridaia</p><br>
<p>Exaplatanos</p><br>
<h2>Province</h2><br>
<p>The province of Almopia (Επαρχία Αλμωπίας) was one of the three provinces of Pella Prefecture. Its territory corresponded with that of the current municipality of Almopia. It was abolished in 2006.</p><br>
<p>Military Road is a central thoroughfare located in Omaha, Nebraska. A segment of the road located at the junction of West 82nd and Fort Streets was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993. Today Military Road, which begins at Nebraska Highway 64 as Nebraska Highway L-28K, ends at Bennington Road near North 204th Street .</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Originally part of the Overland Trail, Military Road was laid out from Downtown Omaha westward through the town of Benson and past in 1857 by Captain Edward Beckwith for the USA Army. Originally designated as a shipment road for moving military supplies to Fort Kearny, thousands of travelers moving to the Pacific Northwest used the road for the next fifty years. Purposely laid out over high ground, emigrants and freighters had a clear view of the surrounding country as a protection against attacks.</p><br>
<h2>Currently</h2><br>
<p>The original graded wagon track can be seen near the Omaha Public Power District substation located near West 90th Street. A section of the road is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>Mount Van Cott is a mountain located in the Wasatch Mountain Range immediately east of the University of Utah with an elevation of 6,351 ft. The mountain is a common spot for hikers as well as mountain bikers and has many access trails. The east side of the University of Utah offers direct access to trails to the summit. Most trails to the summit branch off of the Bonneville Shoreline Trail. The most obvious of these trails is a scar on the mountain that is located on its southwestern flank.</p><br>
<p>The mountain is named after Lucy May Van Cott, the first dean of women (1907–1931) at the University of Utah and daughter of John Van Cott.</p><br>
<h2>Hiking</h2><br>
<p>Like the adjacent mountains, 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.</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 and west, Antelope Island is clearly visible, as is the entire Oquirrh mountain range. To the south and east, portions of the Wasatch Range can be seen, especially the mountain&#39;s neighbor, Mount Wire.</p><br>
<p>The Azokh Cave  is a six-cave complex known as a habitation site of prehistoric humans. It lies near to the village of Azokh in Nagorno-Karabakh .</p><br>
<p>The cave was discovered by the "Palaeolithic Archaeological Expedition" of the Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences under the leadership of Mammadali Huseynov in 1960 and is considered to be the site of one of the most ancient locations of proto-human presence in Eurasia. A Neanderthal-like jaw bone found in 1968 is assumed to be over 300,000 years old and thus one of the oldest proto-human remains found in central Asia. Its discovery gave rise to the term Azykh Man. Archaeologists have suggested that the finds from the lowest layers are of a pre-Acheulean culture (730,000 to 1,800,000 years ago), that resembles the Olduwan culture named after Tanzania&#39;s Olduvai Gorge in many respects.</p><br>
<p>The poor quality of the 1960s excavation, in which no taphonomic data was collected, led to uncertainties over the chronological sequence of the layers. Excavations resumed in the mid 1990s. In 2002 an international research team headed by Tanya King discovered undisturbed entrances to the cave as well as fauna and stone tools. Fossil assemblages recovered from the excavations between 2002 and 2009 found Pleistocene-era remains of bears accumulated as a result of hibernation, but no evidence for simultaneous occupation of the cave by bears and hominins. Other faunal remains, mainly herbivores, had been brought to the cave by hominins, but butchering had taken place somewhere else, not at the rear of the cave where the remains were found. When cave sediments reached close to the cave roof, the cave ceased to be used by hominins. Finally, during the Holocene, the upper sediments were eroded by water, opening up the cave to renewed human use.</p><br>
<p>The cave is now considered to have housed some of the earliest groups of proto-humans in Eurasia. Using uranium isotopes as a speleothem dating method, the minimum date for the formation of the cave, and thus the earliest hominid deposits, have been dated to 1.19 ±0.08 million years.</p><br>
<p>Low Maynard Reservoir is located in Walthamstow in the London Borough of Waltham Forest. The storage reservoir is part of the Lee Valley Reservoir Chain and supplies drinking water to London.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The reservoir was constructed in the mid 19th century by the East London Waterworks Company on former marshland. It is now owned and managed by Thames Water.</p><br>
<h2>Ecology</h2><br>
<p>The reservoir is part of the Walthamstow Reservoirs Site of Special Scientific Interest, and it supports a large concentration of breeding wildfowl.</p><br>
<p>The fringes of the reservoir contain species of plants uncommon in Greater London, including:</p><br>
<p>Caltha palustris Marsh-marigold</p><br>
<p>Schoenaoplectus lacustris Common Club-rush</p><br>
<p>Typha angustifolia Lesser bulrush</p><br>
<p>Carex x subgracilis The graceful sedge</p><br>
<h2>Recreation</h2><br>
<p>Access to the water, which is by permit only, is popular with birdwatchers, walkers and anglers.</p><br>
<p>Amadjuak Lake is a lake in the Qikiqtaaluk Region, Nunavut, Canada. Along with Nettilling Lake, it is located in south-central Baffin Island&#39;s Great Plain of the Koukdjuak. It is 154 km south of Burwash Bay. The closest community is Iqaluit. </p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The lake is 3,115 km&sup2; in size, and sits at an elevation of 113 m.</p><br>
<p>This lower-lying area only emerged 4,500 years ago (recently in geological terms) from beneath the waters of Foxe Basin. Amadjuak Lake is the second largest lake on Baffin Island (after Nettilling Lake) and third-largest in Nunavut.</p><br>
<h2>Ethnography</h2><br>
<p>The lake was a gathering place for Inuit from Kimmirut, Soper River Valley, Pangnirtung, Cape Dorset, and Frobisher Bay.</p><br>
<h2>Fauna</h2><br>
<p>Amadjuak Lake is also notable as a summer feeding grounds, calving grounds, and migration route for the Southern Qikiqtaaluk herd of Barren-ground caribou.</p><br>
<p>Lake Ontelaunee is a 1,082 acre reservoir in Berks County, Pennsylvania owned by the City of Reading. The lake was created in 1926 by the damming of Maiden Creek to extend and improve the water supply to the city. A large dedication ceremony was held in 1929.</p><br>
<p>In addition, the lake provides a venue for hunters, fishermen, and hikers. The lake supports a large and varied fish population including panfish, largemouth bass, common carp, bullhead catfish, channel catfish, alewife, white perch, muskellunge, and others. No boats are allowed on this lake and there is also no swimming allowed.</p><br>
<p>Blue Marsh Lake is the largest lake in Berks County, making Lake Ontelaunee the second-largest lake. Blue Marsh is also an artificial reservoir.</p><br>
<p>The Wo Hing Society Hall is a building located at 858 Front Street in the Lahaina Historic District in Lahaina, Hawaii. Built around 1912, it served the growing Chinese population centered in Lahaina, primarily those working in the sugarcane industry as a social and fraternal hall for the Wo Hing Society. By the 1940s the declining Chinese population in Lahaina slowly made the building redundant and the property was neglected.</p><br>
<p>In 1983, the Lahaina Restoration Foundation worked with the Wo Hing Society to restore the building to its former appearance. After restoration and construction in 1984, the museum was opened to the public. It currently operates under the name Wo Hing Museum and is one of only two existing Chinese Society Halls on Maui. It was placed on the Hawaii State Register of Historic Places on July 30, 1982, and, as Wo Hing Society Building, was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 15, 1982.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1852, many Chinese were brought to work on Hawaii&#39;s sugarcane plantations, mainly single men. When their contracts expired, some stayed behind and took up other trades. Due to the influx and distance from mainland China, Chinese Tong societies sprouted up to provide Chinese religious and political help, in addition to mutual aid, friendship, and funerary benefits upon death.</p><br>
<p>Sometime around 1909, the Chinese in Lahaina formed the Wo Hing Society, an offshoot of the Chee Kung Tong. Using private donations and funds, in 1912, the Wo Hing Society Hall was erected.</p><br>
<p>By the 1940s, many of the Chinese in Lahaina pursued new business opportunities in Honolulu. This led to the property being left derelict and prey to termites and rot. It is considered to be one of the finest surviving Chinese Tong Society Halls in the State of Hawaii.</p><br>
<h2>Buildings</h2><br>
<p>The site is split up into a main building with two floors and a cookhouse to the side. The first floor of the main building houses a collection of Chinese artifacts and memorabilia of Lahaina around the start of the 20th century. Most cover the years after sugarcane established itself on the west side of Maui. The second floor features the only public Taoist altar on Maui. Altars to Guan Ti and other Chinese deities are on the floor, with a selection of other Chinese artifacts. The cookhouse was a separate structure, created as a precaution to prevent the risk of fire damage to the main Wo Hing Temple. Today, along with displaying numerous cooking artifacts, it was converted into a mini theater. One highlight is the showing of films of Hawaii taken by Thomas Edison in 1898 and 1906.</p><br>
<h2>Etymology and culture</h2><br>
<p>Wo Hing literally means "harmony and prosperity" (Wo=Peace and Harmony, Hing=Prosperity) This is reflected in calligraphy boards around the temple. The temple also utilizes Feng Shui principles, with the entrance (or front) of the building facing the ocean, and its back to the mountains.</p><br>

<p>Cumston Hall is a historic community building at 796 Main Street in downtown Monmouth, Maine. Built in 1900, it is one of the most flamboyant examples of wooden Romanesque architecture to be found in a small-town setting in the entire state. It was a gift to the town of Dr. Charles M. Cumston, and presently houses the local public library and local theatrical companies. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Cumston Hall stands prominently in the village of Monmouth, on the east side of Main Street (Maine State Route 132), opposite its junction with Blue Road. It is a large two-story wood frame structure, with a hip roof, clapboard siding, and granite foundation. A square tower, about 70 ft in height, projects from the front right corner, rising to a pyramidal roof with small corner turrets. The exterior is festooned with applied woodwork, with grouped round columns supporting an arcaded ground floor. Upper floor windows consists of paired round-arch windows, with a Palladian-style three part window in a gabled projecting section above the main entrance.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Cumston Hall was completed in 1900 and is named in honor of Dr. Charles M. Cumston, a former headmaster at the English High School in Boston, who gave the Romanesque Revival and Queen Anne Style building to Monmouth equipped with a library and auditorium. Cumston chose Harry Hayman Cochrane (1860–1946), a muralist who went to school in Monmouth, to design and decorate it. Cochrane&#39;s work is most noted in the cherubic portraits that adorn the ceiling and the intricate hand-molded plaster work that frames the walls, boxes, and proscenium arch of the stage.</p><br>
<p>Today, Cumston Hall is the home of the Cumston Public library, the Theater at Monmouth, Monmouth Community Players, and many local activities. The theatrical productions staged here are a draw for people living outside of Monmouth to come and see this landmark.</p><br>
<p>Riverside Cemetery, established in 1876, is Denver, Colorado&#39;s oldest operating cemetery. More than 67,000 people are buried there, including 1,000 veterans.</p><br>
<h2>Location and operation</h2><br>
<p>Riverside Cemetery occupies a 77 acre site between Brighton Boulevard and the east bank of the South Platte River, approximately 4 miles down stream from downtown Denver, Colorado. The majority of Riverside Cemetery lies within Adams County, Colorado, however the rest of the cemetery, the cemetery&#39;s entrance and administration building, are within the City and County of Denver.</p><br>
<p>Riverside Cemetery originally was the property of the Riverside Cemetery Association from its founding in 1876 until 1900 when the associations assets were transferred to the Fairmount Cemetery Association (presently known as Fairmount Cemetery Company). In late 2000, Fairmount Cemetery Company along with members of the community founded the Fairmount Heritage Foundation to be an educational resource for the community and to protect and preserve the heritage of both the companys properties: Riverside Cemetery and Fairmount Cemetery. The volunteers of this foundation staff the Riverside Cemetery Office on Tuesdays and Thursdays and organize events and preservation projects for the cemeteries.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>When first opened, the graveyards secluded location on the banks of the South Platte River and the surrounding greenery made it a popular choice for wealthy families; the opening of the Burlington Railroad in the 1890s changed this, spurring industrial growth in the neighborhood, and some families chose to have their relatives remains exhumed and reburied elsewhere. Prominent people continued to be interred there, with ornate headstones to mark their graves; however, the proportion of unmarked graves rose dramatically, as counties from all over the state sent the bodies of their impoverished dead citizens there. Riverside remained the area&#39;s most significant cemetery until the mid-20th century, and retains importance for scholars studying in the early history of Denver, as the city kept no systematic death records until 1910. Today, the neighborhood has become a largely industrial area, surrounded by a gas station, smokestacks, train tracks, and an industrial park, a few blocks from Interstate 70. It remains a minor tourist attraction; in 2001, 3,000 people went on walking tours of the site.</p><br>
<p>The cemetery&#39;s final grave site was assigned in July 2005; the management company, Fairmount Cemetery Inc., indicated that they would not accept further burials after that, because they were losing money on each sale. They have also stopped watering and cut back drastically on services, claiming that their $2.1 million endowment, which generated roughly $62,000 per year in interest, was not enough to water the property and properly maintain all the graves; their records show that they lost $159,000 in 2003. They still employ two groundskeepers to pick up trash, but have had to refuse offers of maintenance help from volunteers due to liability issues. In 2005, Fairmount approached the city government and requested they take over operation of the cemetery; however, the city was forced to decline due to lack of funds. Local residents, concerned by the dying trees and grass and generally poor state of the cemetery, formed a group, Friends of Historic Riverside Cemetery, to bring public attention to the issue. They requested the assistance of a Holy Transfiguration Orthodox Cathedral whose founders are buried there; Fairmount indicated that they would be willing to transfer the endowment and operations of the cemetery to a group that could provide an additional trust of $1 million to cover operating expenses.</p><br>
<h2>Notable burials</h2><br>
<p>Being Denver&#39;s oldest operating cemetery, Riverside serves as the final resting place for hundreds of local historical figures. With three Medal of Honor recipients (Day, Hasting, and Kelley) buried there, it has the most such recipients of any cemetery in the state.</p><br>

<p>Lansdowne Christian Church  was established in 1903 in Lansdowne, Maryland. Part of the Disciples of Christ denomination, Lansdowne Christian Church is located at 101 Clyde Avenue, Baltimore, Maryland 21227. Reverend J. B. DeHoff was the first pastor. The church is currently led by Reverend Trent Owings.</p><br>
<p>Weekly services are held each Sunday. Special holiday services are held as well. Community outreach events are conducted in collaboration with other local churches. A Summer Concert series has conducted monthly concerts since 2004 with performers from Annapolis and neighboring counties.</p><br>
<h2>Historical significance</h2><br>
<p>The ground and building were donated by a Civil War veteran Charles W. Hull, and his wife Mary A. Hull. This gift was to honor the Union soldiers of the Civil War. The Hull’s donated other property to benefit early Lansdowne, including land to establish the first volunteer fire company in Lansdowne in 1902. Charles Wesley Hull was a member and Commander of the Dushane Post #3. He originally served in Ohio before moving to Baltimore. He died March 17, 1926 and is buried in Baltimore.</p><br>
<p>The church building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977. In 2004, LCC was added to Maryland’s Civil War Trail. Historically unique, it is the only church in the United States ever dedicated to the Grand Army of the Republic. Each year on the last Sunday in May, a special GAR Memorial Service is held to commemorate the veterans of foreign wars. Three beautiful stained glass windows were given to the church in 1905 by the Grand Army of the Republic, Dushane Post #3 of the "Grand Army", and the Dushane Corp #3 of the Woman&#39;s Relief Corp. These windows remain intact today.</p><br>
<p>Geirfuglasker  was a small islet near Reykjanes, Iceland. It was volcanic rock with steep sides except for two landing places. The rough surf around the island usually made it inaccessible to humans, and one of the last refuges for the flightless bird, the great auk . In a volcanic eruption in 1830 this rock submerged. The surviving great auks moved to a nearby island called Eldey and were wiped out by humans several years later. Later a new Geirfuglasker appeared on the site.</p><br>
<p>Another island named Geirfuglasker is east of Surtsey in the Vestmannaeyjar.</p><br>
<h2>In literature</h2><br>
<p>It, and the fate of the great auk, is mentioned (spelled "Gairfowlskerry") in The Water-Babies, A Fairy Tale for a Land Baby by Charles Kingsley.</p><br>

<p>St. Mary&#39;s Bay is one of many bays in Newfoundland, Canada, where bay is taken as a regional subdivision, somewhat along the lines of county divisions . It is the most southern and eastern of Newfoundland&#39;s major bays.</p><br>
<p>It is located on the southern shore of the Avalon Peninsula and is the heartland of the Irish Newfoundlanders, who live all along its shores, stretching west to the Cape Shore and Placentia and northeast to the Southern Shore and St. John&#39;s. Like most Irish Newfoundlanders, area residents trace their ancestry to County Waterford, County Wexford, County Kilkenny, south County Tipperary and east County Cork. In addition to being Irish, the region is also overwhelmingly Roman Catholic.</p><br>
<p>St. Mary&#39;s Bay is an exceedingly rural area. None of the communities in the bay have a population in excess of 1000, and the bay as a whole is home to less than 5,000 people along (very roughly) the 150 km that make up 3 sides of its circumference, the 4th being uninhabitable ocean (note: because of bays, headlands, etc., the actual kilometres of shoreline are much more than 150).</p><br>
<p>St. Mary&#39;s Bay stretches approximately 40 km wide at its mouth, from Point Lance in the west to Cape Freels in the east, and it extends almost 58 km to the NNE to its farthest point inland at Colinet.</p><br>
<p>The next bay to the west is Newfoundlands largest bay, Placentia Bay. To the east of St. Marys Bay is the much smaller Trepassey Bay.</p><br>
<h2>St. Mary's Bay and Resettlement</h2><br>
<p>St. Marys Bay, while not hit as hard as neighboring Placentia Bay, was subject to the Resettlement Program spearheaded by Joey Smallwood, Newfoundland and Labradors first premier (1949-1972). People in rural communities deemed no longer viable (whether by reason of population, economics, or remote location) were pressured by the government to relocate to growth centres.

<p>The Carnegie Free Library of Beaver Falls is a historic Carnegie library in the city of Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, United States. Erected as Beaver County&#39;s first library building, it was financed by Andrew Carnegie and designed by a leading Pittsburgh architect in grand architectural style that helped to redefine the image of the typical Carnegie library. Numerous community organizations have used its space, which remains in continued use as a library, and it has been named a historic site.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In late 1883, community leaders formed a private library association, and a related lecture series was held to raise money through ticket sales. Small enough that it could fit in a grocery store, the resulting collection experienced enough use that it could be seen to be too small for the communitys needs, even though it was a subscription library. The association continued sponsoring lectures, and one of their invited speakers was Andrew Carnegie: finding himself unable to accept their invitation, Carnegie donated a small amount of money to the associations finances. His willingness to assist the association spurred leaders to seek money from him to construct an entirely new building. After several years of negotiations, the industrialist agreed to contribute $50,000 toward a library building.</p><br>
<p>Their finances secured, the association bought a parcel of land in downtown Beaver Falls and contracted with Pittsburgh architect Frederick J. Osterling to design its new home. Osterlings office produced a grand Neoclassical design, and construction began in 1899, although the building only opened for public use a week before Christmas 1903. It quickly gained recognition: locals saw it as a landmark, and its grandeur attracted the attention of Carnegie and his assistant James Bertram. Its construction marks a turning point in the architecture of Carnegie libraries in Pennsylvania: Carnegie and Bertrams disgust at the grand architecture of libraries such as Beaver Falls induced them to announce that future Carnegie libraries would be substantially smaller buildings with simpler standardized floor plans.</p><br>
<p>The first building in Beaver County built as a library, it immediately became a community center as well. As property of the local school district, the library was soon integrated into scholastic activities; arts performances and commencements were held on its stage. Moreover, it was the first building anywhere in Beaver County with space for stage performances, so it also hosted community events unrelated to the school boards activities. Growing numbers of children in the city forced the school board to use some of the second floor for classrooms starting in 1915, and only in 1931 were all children able to be moved to a normal school building. As the twentieth century progressed, events at the library became fewer, but it has remained a prominent piece of the communitys culture and built environment.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Two stories tall, the library is a Neoclassical building with Palladian influences. Built of yellow brick, it occupies a raised stone foundation; the granite details at the top of the foundation sit 4 ft above the ground. Multiple buttresses are placed on all sides but the rear (west), both supporting the roof and dividing the walls into segments. Numerous windows are placed mid the buttresses; between the ordinary windows found in most places and the massive fanlight-topped stained glass window at the center of the facade, the building has so much glass (all uninsulated) that it suffers substantial heat loss because of the fenestration. Even the highest parts of the library are pierced for lighting, as dormer windows and a skylight are located in various parts of the roof. Many of the windows are trimmed with terracotta, while large stone risers project from the front on both sides of the stairs. The most prominent part of the building is the entrance on the east front, which is framed by two pairs of columns and crowned with a prominent pediment. Lesser facades are built on the northern and southern sides, while the western side&#39;s exposure to an alleyway has been extensively modified (e.g. the closing of windows) to discourage vandalism and theft.</p><br>
<p>Inside, the library features three floors. Both the basement and first floor are comparable to those of other Carnegie libraries built at the same time: the utility rooms are placed in the basement, along with community meeting facilities, while the first floor centers on the reference/circulation desk and features space for stacks, adult reading rooms, and childrens space. Upstairs, the second floor is occupied by a genealogical library, the Beaver County Research and Resource Center for Local History, and the citys historical museum is located in the basement.</p><br>
<p>Most of the original performance hall in the basement was dismantled in 1961 with the goal of conversion into shelving and reading space, but it was soon renovated as space rented by a state government agency, the Bureau of Employment Security, before being re-converted for the city museum. Few other major changes have been performed: the second-floor ceiling was lowered to improve heating efficiency, and a small wall was added atop the staircase to prevent people falling down the stairs, but the main floors high ceilings have remained, and virtually all of the buildings original never-painted woodworking survives. Hand-carven details can be found throughout the building&#39;s walnut and oak trim, much of which also features larger components such as Ionic columns that appear to support the ceilings.</p><br>
<h2>Preservation</h2><br>
<p>By the mid-1980s, the governing board of Beaver Falls school district had recognized the historic significance of the librarys architecture: its unusual degree of preservation is partly the result of a board policy prohibiting changes that would detract from its status. The building gained much wider recognition in 1985, when it was added to the National Register of Historic Places; it qualified both because of its architecture and because of its place in local history. One of twenty such locations in Beaver County, it is the only one in Beaver Falls. It continues to be used as a library, although the institution is now part of a larger library system serving the entire county.</p><br>
<p>Flora Macdonald College was a women&#39;s college in Red Springs, Robeson County, North Carolina. It was founded in 1896 by Dr. Charles Graves Vardell as the Red Springs Seminary, renamed Southern Presbyterian College and Conservatory of Music in 1903 then Flora Macdonald College in 1914.</p><br>
<p>The Neoclassical style main building was constructed between 1900 and 1910 and consists of six sections: the Conservatory Hall (1900); East Hall (1902); Morgan Hall (1904); West Hall (1905); the center domed section Administration Hall (1906); and Long West (1910). The main block, six bays wide and nine deep, has a Palladian entrance and a three-story Doric order tetrastyle portico and is surmounted by a dome. In the garden is a stone monument commemorating two of Flora Macdonald&#39;s children, whose remains were moved from unmarked graves in Richmond County and reinterred on the college grounds in 1937. The building was named to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>
<p>As a result of a 1952 study of the Presbyterian Synod of North Carolina the college was merged with Presbyterian Junior College of Maxton, North Carolina to form a four-year, coeducational college located elsewhere. Flora Macdonald College closed in 1961. From 1964 through 1974 the Flora Macdonald campus was occupied by Vardell Hall, a girls preparatory school and junior college. Since 1974 the campus has been home to Flora Macdonald Academy (formerly Robeson Country Day School) a Pre-K – 12 private preparatory school.</p><br>
<p>The Healey Building, at 57 Forsyth Street NW, in the Fairlie-Poplar district of Atlanta, was the last major "skyscraper" built during the first great burst of multi-story commercial construction preceding World War I. In fact, it was World War I, which led to the alteration of the original design, which called for twin towers connected by a rotunda. Only the west tower and rotunda were constructed before World War I broke out. The death in 1920 of William Healey forestalled continuation of the project after the war. According to Dr. Elizabeth Lyon in her National Register of Historic Places nomination, "The Healey Building has an elegance and high shouldered dignity which make it outstanding among its contemporaries." Those contemporaries include the Chandler, the Flatiron and Hurt Buildings among others. Although certainly distinctive for its physical appearance and location, the Healey Building is also</p><br>
<p>associated with significant individuals in Atlanta history. Thomas G. Healey and his son William T.</p><br>
<p>Healey were political and business leaders in the city - in the case of Thomas, dating back to pre-Civil</p><br>
<p>War times. Their contributions to Atlanta&#39;s architectural history as contractors and businessmen are</p><br>
<p>numerous and significant. In addition to the Healeys, the architects Thomas Morgan, John Dillon, and</p><br>
<p>Walter T. Downing have left an important body of works as monuments to their skill and abilities.</p><br>
<p>Born in 1818, Thomas G. Healey moved to Savannah, Ga. in 1846, from Connecticut. A few years</p><br>
<p>later, he was in Atlanta working in the brick-making business and as builder/contractor in partnership</p><br>
<p>with Maxwell Berry. Healey and Berry were responsible for a number of Atlanta churches and</p><br>
<p>government buildings prior to the war, including the Church of the Immaculate Conception, Trinity</p><br>
<p>Methodist Church, First Presbyterian Church, and the United States Custom House (later City Hall).</p><br>
<p>Following the destruction of the war, Healey was in the perfect business for the construction boom of</p><br>
<p>the late 1800s, which rebuilt Atlanta. As his wealth accumulated, T. G. Healey became active in politics and other business ventures. One investment was in land, including the northwest corner of Marietta and Peachtree Streets where he built the first Healey Building. This location was the place where Atlantas first elections were held in 1848 and where T. G. Healeys grandsons (William and Oliver) built the William-Oliver Building in 1930. From 1877 to 1882, Healey was president of the Atlanta Gas Light Company. In the 1880s, he was president of the West End and Atlanta Street Railroad Company, on the Executive Committee of the 1881 International Cotton Exhibition, and a Director of Joel Hurt&#39;s Atlanta Home Insurance Company (of which he was a purchaser of $5,000 in original stock). Politically, he was city alderman-</p><br>
<p>at-large (1881) and mayor pro tem (1884). By 1889, the Atlanta Constitution was estimating Healey&#39;s wealth at between $500,000 and $1,000,000 - thus making him one of the fifteen richest men in the</p><br>
<p>city. During this period, William T. Healey joined his father in his many business ventures, which still</p><br>
<p>included brick making and real estate development. Among their joint enterprises were the Atlanta</p><br>
<p>Car Works streetcar line (1892) and the development of a mineral water property, Austell Lithia</p><br>
<p>Springs. After Thomas Healey&#39;s death in 1897, William carried on the family businesses, which came</p><br>
<p>to include the new Healey Building of 1914. Excavations took most of 1913 and the project became</p><br>
<p>known as "Healey&#39;s Hole," with seventy (seven feet square) wells filled with concrete reaching a</p><br>
<p>depth of sixty feet.</p><br>
<p>The 16-story building was completed in 1914, at the end of Atlanta&#39;s first skyscraper era (1893-1918).</p><br>
<p>Constructed of stone and embellished with terra-cotta, the wide, rectangular building achieves its</p><br>
<p>vertical appearance from clustered piers which rise uninterrupted from the two- story base to the</p><br>
<p>cornice. The neo-Gothic elements of the exterior detailing have been placed primarily at the base of the</p><br>
<p>roofline. Pointed arches and tracery are employed to define the entrances and the storefronts; a</p><br>
<p>heavy, ornate cornice which denotes the influence of Chicago architect Louis Sullivan caps the</p><br>
<p>building. As the detailing of the street-level display windows is noteworthy, so is the unusual fenestration of</p><br>
<p>the upper floors. Windows of different sizes and proportions are used: narrow, paired double-hung</p><br>
<p>windows in the central bays of the long facades and wide, single, double-hung windows for the</p><br>
<p>remainder of the building. The original plan for the Healey Building called for two matching skyscrapers on either side of a</p><br>
<p>central dome. An arcade system was integrated into the plan that would allow pedestrian access</p><br>
<p>through the buildings to Broad Street, Forsyth Street and Walton Street. This system, which was</p><br>
<p>constructed along with the dome and one tower in 1914, is found in the skyscraper designs of</p><br>
<p>pioneer Chicago architect Daniel H. Burnham. In northern cities such as Chicago and Buffalo, Burnham&#39;s arcades provided protection from severe</p><br>
<p>winter weather. Atlanta office workers have often used the Healey arcades as a cut through on rainy</p><br>
<p>days. The ground level interior space lined with shops became an important public space rather than</p><br>
<p>merely an enclosed lobby.</p><br>
<p>William Healey chose the firm of Morgan and Dillon to design his new building on Forsyth Street. In</p><br>
<p>1898, the firm&#39;s antecedent Bruce and Morgan had designed the Austell Building at 10 Forsyth Street</p><br>
<p>and the Prudential Building on Broad Street, the city&#39;s first completely steel- framed skyscraper. From</p><br>
<p>that time on, according to Dr. Elizabeth Lyon in her study of Atlanta&#39;s commercial architecture, Bruce</p><br>
<p>and Morgan and its successor Morgan and Dillon were "the predominant architects designing large</p><br>
<p>commercial structures" in the city. Their other works included the Empire Building, the Century</p><br>
<p>Building, the Fourth National Bank, and the Third National Bank Building at Broad and Marietta</p><br>
<p>Streets. The latter building was designed with the services of Walter Downing. Thomas Henry Morgan was born in Syracuse, New York in 1857 but later attended the University of</p><br>
<p>Tennessee. He came to Atlanta in 1878 as a draftsman with the architectural firm of Parkins and</p><br>
<p>Bruce. In 1882, the firm became Bruce and Morgan until 1904 when Bruce retired. It was at this time</p><br>
<p>that Morgan formed his partnership with John R. Dillon. Among their buildings were the original</p><br>
<p>Henrietta Egleston Hospital, J. P. Allen Department Store, Fulton County Courthouse (with A. Ten Eyck</p><br>
<p>Brown), Fulton County Alms House, numerous schools and firehouses, as well as various college</p><br>
<p>buildings at Georgia Tech, Agnes Scott, and Oglethorpe. Morgan appears to have been the salesman of the firm and was certainly prominent socially. He was</p><br>
<p>a charter member of the prestigious Piedmont Driving Club, Capital City Club, and the Gate City</p><br>
<p>Guard. Professionally, he was the first president of the Atlanta Chapter of the American Institute of</p><br>
<p>Architects and wrote the state law creating a State Board to examine and register architects. Not</p><br>
<p>surprisingly, he served as the first president of the State Board. As already mentioned, Morgan and Dillon sometimes used Walter Downing as an associate of the</p><br>
<p>firm. Downing was born in Boston, Massachusetts in 1865 and moved to Atlanta in 1881. He began his</p><br>
<p>study of architecture in the office of L. B. Wheeler in 1885, establishing his own business in 1890.</p><br>
<p>Downing was well enough known to be the only Atlanta architect to design an exhibition hall for the</p><br>
<p>1895 Cotton States Exposition, the Fine Arts Building. A picture of this building shows a Beaux-Arts</p><br>
<p>design with heavily carved and decorative friezes, columned front, balustrades, and one-story,</p><br>
<p>matching wings with bowed side porticoes. In a letter from Horace Bradley (New York promoter of</p><br>
<p>the exposition) to Downing, the former states that the famous painter James MacNeill Whistler</p><br>
<p>greatly admired the design from a photograph and specifically asked who the architect was. Downing</p><br>
<p>went on to design the Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus (335 Peachtree Center Blvd.), First</p><br>
<p>Presbyterian Church (1328 Peachtree Street), Trinity Methodist Church (265 Washington Street), the</p><br>
<p>Gay House (98 Currier Street), and the Wimbush House (1150 Peachtree Street and longtime home of</p><br>
<p>the Atlanta Woman&#39;s Club). He also designed a famous Atlanta landmark for many years, the Flag</p><br>
<p>Pole at Five Points. In 1898, W. T. Downing became a member of the American Institute of Architects</p><br>
<p>and in 1909 was elected president of the Atlanta chapter of that organization. He was also</p><br>
<p>responsible for the house of Hattie High at Peachtree and Fifteenth Streets, first home of what was to become the High Museum. As a gift to the city from Mrs. High, Downing designed a fountain across the street from her house.</p><br>
<p>The Healey Building remained in the Healey family until 1972 when it was sold for $3.2 million to</p><br>
<p>Edward Elson and Morris Abram. In 1976, the building was named to the National Register of Historic Places (Ref #77000429). Five years later, German entrepreneur Guenter Kaussen purchased the structure. By 1985, only sixteen percent of the office space remained in use and the building was bought from Kaussen&#39;s</p><br>
<p>estate for $8 million by Healey Building Associates Ltd., a joint venture by the Dutch firm of Euram</p><br>
<p>Resources and the Dutch bank Staal Bankers, N.V. In 1987, the Healey Building underwent an almost</p><br>
<p>$12 million renovation under the direction of the architectural firm of Stang and Newdow. Prior to</p><br>
<p>the renovation, it was reported that three truckloads of "trash" were removed from the Healey&#39;s</p><br>
<p>basement three times daily for three months. Thus was "reborn" an Atlanta landmark.</p><br>
<p>Lake Bästeträsk is a freshwater lake located in the northern part of the Swedish island of Gotland. It is the largest lake on the island.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The lake is located at the north end of Gotland only 0.4 km from the Baltic Sea. It has three islands: Falholmen, Storholmen and Lillholmen. The lake represents 681 hectare of the 1,494 hectare Bästeträsk nature reserve, one of the largest on Gotland. With an area of 6.52 km&sup2; it is the largest lake on the island. Despite its size, the maximum depth is only 4.5 m and most of it is considerably shallower.</p><br>
<h2>Geology</h2><br>
<p>Most of the lake is surrounded by a so called "beach barricade", a 0.5 to 1 m high wall of gravel and larger blocks of stone, that has been displaced or pushed out by the expanding ice during the winter.</p><br>
<p>The bottom of the lake is made up of blocks of stone, especially in the shallower parts, and sediments.</p><br>
<p>It is connected to the Baltic Sea through the stream Arån, which is a breeding ground for sea trout.</p><br>
<h2>Biology</h2><br>
<p>Bästeträsk is a freshwater reserve with very clean inflows, a number of them has the same aspects as drinking water. The water has a greenish tint with low content of nutrients, making the lake almost void of vegetation save for stands of Chara aspera, Chara tomentosa, Chara globularis and the only occurrence in Sweden of Nitella tenuissima. It inhabits species such as northern pike, perch, roach, rudd, tench, european bullhead and whitefish. The lake was stocked with crayfish during the 1920s. A number of rare lichens and polyporales can be found in the nature reserve surrounding the lake, along with the Cochlicopa nitens land snail. The islands in the lake have a large colony of eiders.</p><br>
<h2>Uses</h2><br>
<p>The area around Bästeträsk has been used for quarrying limestone since the 1650s. The production ceased in 1990, but traces of the industry remain. Most visible are the two smaller quarry lakes north of the lake. The northwest of these lakes, "The Blue Lagoon", is a well visited swimming site.</p><br>
<p>The lake&#39;s outflow in the north was dammed up and led through a culvert for production of hydroelectricity following a decision in 1939. only the culvert remains.</p><br>
<p>In winter the lake is sometimes used for tour skating.</p><br>
<p>Kok-Tobe  is a mountain in Almaty, Kazakhstans largest city. There is a popular recreation area on top of the mountain. The mountains height is 1100 meters above sea level. Kok-tobe is one of the main landmarks in the city, and it is popular among visitors and tourists to Almaty.</p><br>
<h2>Recreational Area</h2><br>
<p>The Kok-Tobe recreational area has a variety of amusement park type attractions and restaurants. It is connected to downtown Almaty by a cable car line. The City Terminal is located near Hotel Kazakhstan. Also, there is a 372 meters tall TV Tower at the foot of the mountain. The tower can be seen from most parts of the city.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Kok-Tobe mountain was originally called Verigin until the 1960s. Before the Soviet Union, the Hill was favorite spot for the inhabitants of the city. During the Summer, the civilians organized May Day celebrations. While during winter, it was popular spot for skiing and sledding. Verny merchants called the mountain "Blue Hill" which is believed that the name origins back to medieval times. After Almaty became the capital of Kazakh SSR, Verigin mountain was originally going to become a governmental place which the architects proposed to build several public buildings on the slope, and at the very top of the mountain such as house of the Supreme Council of Kazakh SSR. However plans were not implemented. During the 1950s the mountain became a relaxation spot for the Soviet Elites. Cottages were built for the academics of the Kazakh SSR, as well as later for the first secretary of the Central Committee, Dinmukhamed Kunayev. Passenger cable way connecting the center of Almaty to the mountain Kok-Tobe was commissioned on November 4, 1967. Surprisingly, the cable car worked with little or no maintenance for almost forty years until mid 2000&#39;s. In the spring of 2004, after heavy rains on Kok-Tobe was in state of emergency, on the surface of the mountain significant cracks appeared and began to slip and crumble the soil structure. There was a real threat of a landslide in the residential areas nearby. Former Almaty mayor Zamanbek Nurkadilov decided to close the mountain. In summer of 2004, work began on the reconstructing and strengthening the slope of Kok-Tobe. At the top of moutainn, illegally erected buildings, mostly cafes were removed. Construction workers drilled and concreted 395 wells up to 24 meters. Their main task was to keep the soil from slipping. Cable car and viewing platforms were restored. In 2006, the mountain opened a recreational entertainment center which was the start of Kok-Tobe Park. A Beatles Monument was installed in 2007. In September 2014, the mountain was closed for the purpose of the construction of a new cable car, as well as the reconstruction of the northern side of the mountain and the park. In March 2016, the park completed its construction of the cable car and the park itself was also updated which reopened its doors to visitors. Instead of the two old cable cars, there are now 17 new cable cars. A new Ferris wheel was also installed to the park.</p><br>
<h2>TV Tower</h2><br>
<p>Almaty Tower, the city&#39;s television tower, built during 1975 and 1983, is located on the south-eastern slope of the hill. If measured from sea level, this tower is one of the highest in the world. The tower is 372 meters tall. It has a couple observation platforms, but they are not open to the public. It is unique, because unlike other TV towers, it was built entirely of steel, and has a tubular structure. Locals considered constructing the TV Tower somewhere else, but it ended up being built in Kok Tobe area.</p><br>
<h2>The Beatles Monument</h2><br>
<p>A bronze statue of The Beatles by sculptor Eduard Kazaryan was placed on Kok Tobe mountain on May 15, 2007. The monument was inaugurated as part of the launch of the National Award "Music feature - 2007". This is the first monument of the legendary Fab Four in full. John Lennon is seen sitting on a bench with his guitar, while behind him stand Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr.</p><br>
<h2>Entertainment</h2><br>
<p>Kok-Tobe park has various entertainments such as a fountain of "desire" in the shape of an apple, a children&#39;s playground, a climbing wall, the Fast Coaster ride, an art gallery, tea house, and a restaurant "Yurt". In addition to these attractions, on the Kok-Tobe there are: viewing platforms, a petting zoo, a concert hall, a lovers alley, ponds, and shops selling national souvenirs.</p><br>
<h3>Fast Coaster</h3><br>
<p>Fast Coaster is a roller coaster located on the hillside. It is the only roller coaster in Kazakhstan that is located on a side of a mountain. Going down with a speed of 45 km / h, one can feel an adrenaline rush, enjoy the view of the picturesque landscape of the city. Sliding down at night, one will see stunning views of the city drowned in millions of colored lights.</p><br>
<h3>Alley of Lovers</h3><br>
<p>Alley lovers on Kok Tobe Mountain is a place for romantic walks and dates for those who want to get away from prying eyes and seclude with loved ones in the lap of nature.</p><br>
<h3>Fountain of Desires</h3><br>
<p>The Fountain of Desires in the form of granite apple, the symbol of Almaty, welcomes guests at Kok Tobe Peak. Some people thoughtfully throw coins into the depths of its waters, while others make memorable photos near it.</p><br>
<h3>Ferris Wheel</h3><br>
<p>Located in the park Ferris wheel&#39;s height is 30 meters. It is 1 136 meters above sea level. There are 20 closed highly comfortable and safe cabins, 6 passengers for each cabin. There is great view on Almaty from cabins.</p><br>
<h2>Transportation</h2><br>
<p>Kok-tobe is connected to Almatys city centre by a rope way. Departing point from the city centre is a station located on intersection of Dostyk and Abay avenues. The city centres terminal is situated behind Arman Cinema and Hotel Kazakhstan. The length of the rope-way is 1727 meters and it takes about 6 minutes to reach the Kok-Tobe&#39;s station.</p><br>
<p>There are also alternative ways to reach Kok-Tobe such as: by taking a shuttle bus that starts at the foot of the mountain, or by walking. Cars are not allowed to get inside of the park due to environmental reasons.</p><br>
<p>Jalangi River , is a branch of the Ganges river in Murshidabad and Nadia districts in the Indian state of West Bengal. It flows into the Bhagirathi river and strengthens its lower channel, the Hooghly.</p><br>
<p>The river below the point where the Jalanagi meets the Ganges is known as Hooghly and the course above it from the point of its separation from the main flow of the Ganges to its confluence with the Jalangi, it is called Bhagirathi.</p><br>
<p>Ghurni, a neighbourhood of Krishnanagar, a centre for the production of clay dolls, often referred to as Krishnanagar clay dolls, is located on the banks of the Jalangi. Mayapur, the birth place of Sri Chaitanya, is located at the confluence of the Jalanagi and Bhagirathi.</p><br>
<h2>Changes in the course of rivers</h2><br>
<p>The Jalangi is a modern stream, but its age is not known. Apparently it opened up long after the Bhairab River ran as a strong stream in a south easterly direction. Although it is generally believed that the river has opened up within the last few hundred years, there is no direct evidence of this. It is shown in Van den Brouck’s map.</p><br>
<p>The Bhairab once flowed from the Ganges, across the present beds of the Jalangi, and further eastwards towards Faridpur. The Bhairab is no more a very active river. The Mathabhanga is a younger stream than Jalangi and it was not till very recently that the river completed its junction with the Hooghly by adopting the Churni (now its lower reaches) for its main course. Earlier most of the water of the Mathabhanga ran off to the east down the Kumara, Chitra, Coboduk (Bhairab), and Ichamati, but all these escape routes have been shut off, except a small amount for the Ichamati.</p><br>
<p>The point to note is that while earlier the rivers in the region flowed in a south-easterly direction, but later some force pulled the Jalangi and the Mathabhanga in a south-westerly direction. The inference is that it occurred because of a local subsidence, which was active for some period prior to 1750 and which has since become inactive.</p><br>
<h2>Erosion</h2><br>
<p>Erosion of the banks is not only a problem for the more turbulent rivers such as Padma and Bhagirathi, but also comparatively smaller rivers such as Jalangi. In 2006, the state government sanctioned Rs. 7 crore for anti-erosion work in the Jalangi River.</p><br>
<h2>Bridge</h2><br>
<p>State Highway 14 runs over it through Dwijendralal Setu, connecting Palashipara and Shyamnagar village in Nadia district. NH 12 (previously, NH 34) also runs over through Dwijendra Setu connecting Krishnangar and Bahadurpur. Another bridge across the Jalangi River connecting Radhanagar village of Nadia district and Patikabari village of Murshidabad district is now under construction. Besides connecting the districts of Murshidabad and Nadia, the proposed bridge would be an alternative connection to National Highway 34, which links North Bengal with Kolkata.</p><br>
<h2>Bengali poetry</h2><br>
<p>The Jalangi is emotionally referred to by the modern Bengali poet Jibanananda Das in his poem abar asibo phire:</p><br>
<p>Lirycist Sagar Chattapadhyaya and folk singer Bablu Halder&#39;s song is well knowned regarding the Jalangi river as O amar jalangi nadi, tor kolete roilam ami, janamo abodhi</p><br>
<p>Oakleigh is a c. 1833 historic house museum in Mobile, Alabama, United States. It is the centerpiece of the Oakleigh Historic Complex, a grouping of buildings that contain a working-class raised cottage, Union Barracks, and a modern archives building. The name for the estate comes from a combination of the word oak and the Anglo-Saxon word lea, that means meadow. The complex is within the Oakleigh Garden Historic District, the surrounding district and neighborhood being named after the estate.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Oakleigh was built on 35 acre of woodland west of Mobile in 1833 by James W. Roper, a brick mason from James City County, Virginia who was also a dry goods merchant and cotton factor. He chose this site for his house because of its valuable clay pit. He operated a Water Street brickyard in downtown Mobile on the present-day site of the RSA Battle House Tower.</p><br>
<p>While building Oakleigh, Roper lost his first wife, Sarah Ann Davenport, and a child. He remarried in 1838 upon completion of Oakleigh, and had four children with his second wife, Eliza Ann Simison.</p><br>
<p>The Panic of 1837 hit Roper and his business interests hard. After borrowing $20,000 to build the home, he was unable to pay back his loans, and the bank repossessed the home. Ropers brother-in-law, Boyd Simison, bought Oakleigh, half of the estates acreage, and all but one of Ropers 18 slaves. He then allowed Roper and his family to live in the home rent-free until 1850. With his business interests failing, Roper followed his brother-in-laws example, becoming a lumber merchant and moving to New Orleans, Louisiana in 1850.</p><br>
<p>Alfred Irwin, treasurer of the Mobile & Ohio Railroad, purchased the house in 1852. During the Civil War his wife, Margaret Kilshaw Irwin, defended the home against Union soldiers by proclaiming the property neutral territory on account of her British citizenship and hanging the Union Jack from the balcony. T.K. and Lee Fearn Irwin, their sons, were both veterans of the Civil War and gained local prominence in the late 19th century. Lee served as Mobile&#39;s assistant postmaster, president of the Cherokee Cotton Mills, and manager of the Mobile Oil Mills. His older brother T.K., once aide to Confederate president Jefferson Davis, went on to establish the Mobile Cotton Exchange and later became its president. T.K. married Mary Anna Ketchum. Much of their correspondence from the Civil War years and after remains on file at Oakleigh today. Oakleigh remained in the Irwin family until sold by Daisy Irwin Clisby, granddaughter of Alfred, in 1916.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Built as a raised, galleried villa in the Greek Revival style, Oakleigh is one of the largest T-shaped homes in the state of Alabama. The unique shape of the home allows for cross-ventilation in Mobiles humid subtropical climate. The lower floor was originally a raised basement, likely built of handmade brick from the site, once functioned as a workspace and storage. The homes second floor contains the main living quarters. The quarter-turn, cantilever staircase rising to the front door was designed by James Roper.</p><br>
<h2>The complex</h2><br>
<p>The Oakleigh Historic Complex also consists of the Union Barracks, the Cox-Deasy Cottage, and the Minnie Mitchell Archives.</p><br>
<p>The Union Barracks, built in 1867, used to be known as the Cook&#39;s House. It has been restored to tell the story of post-Emancipation life in Mobile. It is one of the few surviving structures built for Reconstruction after the Civil War.</p><br>
<p>The Cox-Deasy Cottage, built in 1850, is a Creole raised cottage now serving as a program space for the Historic Mobile Preservation Society.</p><br>
<p>Minnie Mitchell Archives houses the archives of the Historic Mobile Preservation Society. The archives house historic maps, surname files, Mardi Gras related files, newspapers and newspaper clippings, scrapbooks, and numerous special collections.</p><br>
<p>Mount Nonotuck, 827 ft, is the northernmost peak of the Mount Tom Range of traprock mountains located in the Connecticut River Valley of Massachusetts and part of the larger Metacomet Ridge which stretches from Long Island Sound to nearly the Vermont border. Rugged and considered scenic, the peak rises steeply from the river valley 700 ft below. It is located within the town of Holyoke.</p><br>
<p>The 110 mi Metacomet-Monadnock Trail, maintained by the Berkshire Chapter of the Appalachian Mountain Club, crosses Mt. Nonotuck, and a seasonal auto road (closed to vehicles indefinitely due to deteriorating conditions, hikers still welcome) climbs to a small parking lot just beneath the summit. During the winter, the auto road is often used for cross country skiing.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h2>Geology and ecology</h2><br>
<p>Mount Nonotuck, like much of the Metacomet Ridge, is composed of basalt, also called traprock, a volcanic rock. The mountain formed near the end of the Triassic Period with the rifting apart of the North American continent from Africa and Eurasia. Lava welled up from the rift and solidified into sheets of strata hundreds of feet thick. Subsequent faulting and earthquake activity tilted the strata, creating the cliffs and ridges of Mount Nonotuck. Hot, dry upper slopes, cool, moist ravines, and mineral-rich ledges of basalt talus produce a combination of microclimate ecosystems on the mountain that support plant and animal species uncommon in greater Massachusetts. (See Metacomet Ridge for more information on the geology and ecosystem of Mount Nonotuck).</p><br>
<p>Discovery Peak is a peak in the Diablo Range of California and is the highest point in Alameda County. The officially unnamed peak is also known as Valpe Ridge–Rose Flat due to its location near Rose Flat.</p><br>
<p>The area is high enough to receive occasional snowfall during the winter, which generally melts within a few days of falling.</p><br>
<p>Although it is on private property, the Ohlone Wilderness Trail, in Sunol Regional Wilderness, comes to within about 1 mi of the summit.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Discovery Peak was named in 1991 after it was "discovered" by highpointer Dinesh Desai while studying a topo map. Field work by Gordon MacLeod and others supports Desai&#39;s conclusion,</p><br>
<p>but this is in conflict with numerous official county documents that list nearby Rose Peak as the highest point.</p><br>
<p>Mount Yengo is a mountain that is located in the Lower Hunter region of New South Wales, in eastern Australia. The 668 m mountain is part of the Calore Range, part of the Great Dividing Range, and is situated within the Yengo National Park, approximately 3 km east of the Macdonald River and 17 km east by south of.</p><br>
<h2>Significance to indigenous Australians</h2><br>
<p>Mount Yengo is a natural feature of spiritual and ceremonial importance to the Wonnarua, Awabakal, Worimi and Darkinjung Indigenous Australians. According to indigenous mythology, Mount Yengo is the place from which Baiame, a creational ancestral hero, jumped back up to the spirit world after he had created all of the mountains, lakes, rivers and caves in the area. Baiame flattened the top of Mount Yengo when he jumped skyward and the flat top is still visible today.</p><br>
<p>Sonora Peak is a mountain located in the Central Sierra Nevada mountains of California north of Sonora Pass. Located on the boundary between Alpine and Mono counties, it is the highest point in Alpine County. Due to the high elevation, most of the precipitation this mountain receives consists of snow.</p><br>
<p>One of the most direct routes of ascent starts at Sonora Pass, 2 mi south as the crow flies. Starting at the trailhead of the PCT on Sonora Pass, it is about a 2.5 mi hike with 1,000 ft elevation gain to the top of a pass. From there, the easiest and most direct way is to turn Northwest and follow the ridge that will lead to the summit. About halfway from the pass to the peak a small trail appears that heads directly to the peak.</p><br>
<p>The Old Stone Fort is a prehistoric Native American structure located in Coffee County, Tennessee, in the Southeastern United States. The structure was most likely built between 80 and 550 AD during the Middle Woodland period. It is the most complex hilltop enclosure found in the South and was likely used for ceremonial purposes rather than defense.</p><br>
<p>The structure is now part of Old Stone Fort State Archaeological Park, one of two archaeological parks in Tennessee (the other being at Pinson Mounds near Jackson). The site is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Geographic setting</h2><br>
<p>The Old Stone Fort is located on a peninsula created by the confluence of the Duck River and the Little Duck River (the section of the Duck River upstream from its confluence with the Little Duck is sometimes called "Barren Fork"). The Duck River forms the peninsulas northwestern boundary, the Little Duck forms the peninsulas southeastern boundary, and a westward bend in the Little Duck forms the peninsula&#39;s southern boundary. The walled area of the structure encompasses approximately 50 acre. ()</p><br>
<p>The Duck River system spills over a limestone-rich shelf of the western Cumberland Plateau known as the Highland Rim. As the Duck and Little Duck approach their convergence, they rapidly drop in elevation, and have cut relatively deep gorges around the peninsula upon which the ancient structure is located. Both gorges are highlighted by a series of substantial waterfalls and whitewater rapids. The natural waterpower in these two gorges attracted entrepreneurs and millwrights throughout the 19th century.</p><br>
<p>The Old Stone Fort is located entirely within Coffee County, and is situated just west of Manchester, Tennessee. Old Stone Fort State Archaeological Park encompasses 876 acre and is managed by the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation.</p><br>
<h2>The structure of the Old Stone Fort</h2><br>
<p>The walls of the Old Stone Fort consist of stone and earthwork, and are on average approximately 4–6 feet high. The walls originally consisted of an inner and outer layer of crudely stacked rocks and slabs with gravel and earthen fill in between. Over the centuries, the earthen fill has spilled over the rock layers, giving the walls their current mound-like appearance.</p><br>
<p>The walls can be divided into roughly three sections, with two sections running roughly parallel to the Duck and Little Duck Rivers, and a third section running parallel to the southern rim of the peninsula. The sections paralleling the rivers gradually move inward, away from their respective rivers, and approach one another in a pincer-like formation at the northeastern half of the peninsula. Here, both walls terminate just before converging, allowing for a small entrance. Two ancient "pedestal" mounds&mdash; one 35 ft in diameter and the other 48 ft in diameter&mdash; are located on either side of the structures entrance. The entrance continues through a 120 ft L-shaped corridor which opens into the structures interior.</p><br>
<p>The fort&#39;s northwestern walls (following the Duck River) are approximately 1,394 ft long, and the southeastern walls (following the Little Duck) are approximately 1,094 ft in length. The southern walls, which are basically straight with the exception of an area where the ridge bulges outward, are 2,116 ft long. Large open sections are found between both the southern wall and the northwestern wall and the southern wall and the southeastern wall. These areas were probably left open due to the fact that they overlook steep bluffs carved out by the Duck and Little Duck rivers whose waters probably performed the same function as the mounds.</p><br>
<p>A substantial ditch, known as the "moat", parallels the southern wall at the base of the ridge. This ditch is a natural feature and is actually an abandoned river channel. However, it is not known if this channel was artificially kept open in prehistory.</p><br>
<h2>The Old Stone Fort in recorded history</h2><br>
<p>By the time white long hunters and traders arrived in the area in the mid-18th century, a system of well-worn trails traversed the Cumberland Plateau, connecting what is now Middle Tennessee with Georgia and Northern Alabama. One trail passed near the Old Stone Fort, closely following what is now USA Route 41. The ancient structure was no doubt an important landmark to early travelers in the Middle Tennessee area.</p><br>
<p>The Nickajack Expedition, led by Major James Ore in the latter part of the Cherokee–American wars, is believed to have encamped within the Old Stone Fort en route to the Chickamauga towns. The structure also had an important symbolic significance for early Coffee County residents. The county&#39;s first court was held at the "Old Stone Fort Tavern" in 1836, and the county seat was laid out upon "Main Stone Fort Creek."</p><br>
<p>The powerful Duck River made the Old Stone Forts peninsula an attractive site for mills as early as 1823, when Samuel Murray built a rope factory on the Little Duck River. Although the factory burned in 1847, it was followed by W.S. Whitmans paper mill further downstream in 1852. In 1862, Whitman built a powder factory adjacent to his paper mill to supply the Confederacy during the Civil War; it was destroyed by Union troops the following year. In 1879, the Stone Fort Paper Company built a large mill near Big Falls on the Duck River. The mill supplied paper to newspapers throughout the Southeast&mdash; including the Nashville Banner and the Atlanta Constitution&mdash; until the early 20th century. The mill&#39;s foundations are on the bluffs overlooking Big Falls, and can be accessed via the Old Stone Fort Loop Trail.</p><br>
<p>The property containing the Old Stone Fort was eventually passed into the hands of the Chumbley family, who had ties to Stone Fort Paper. The Chumbleys, seeking to protect the Old Stone Fort, passed up numerous private offers for the land the ancient structure was located on. In 1966, the State of Tennessee purchased 400 acre of the Chumbley estate that became the core of Old Stone Fort State Archaeological Park. The Old Stone Fort was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.</p><br>
<h2>The Old Stone Fort's builders and function</h2><br>
<h3>Who built the Old Stone Fort?</h3><br>
<p>The Old Stone Fort remained a mystery until the University of Tennessee conducted archaeological excavations in 1966. Throughout the 19th and early 20th century, various theories tried to identify the builders.</p><br>
<p>In 1823, the Pioneer, a Jackson, Tennessee newspaper, argued the Old Stone Fort was built by Buccaneers from Seville after one of their ships wrecked off the coast of Florida and forced them inland. In the mid-20th century, the discoveries at L&#39;Anse aux Meadows and the discovery of apparent Viking artifacts in various parts of North America led many to believe the Vikings built stone structures in the Eastern USA, including the Old Stone Fort.</p><br>
<p>The first serious investigation of the Old Stone Fort was conducted by Joseph Jones for the Smithsonian Institution in 1876 and uncovered several prehistoric artifacts. He was followed by Tennessee State Archaeologist P.E. Cox in 1928, who dug several trenches and analyzed the fort&#39;s composition.</p><br>
<p>In 1966, after the purchase of the Old Stone Fort, the University of Tennessee Department of Anthropology investigated the structure&#39;s origins. Digging a series of trenches and test pits and conducting extensive research, the investigators determined the builders to be Native Americans of the Middle Woodland period. Charles Faulkner, a member of the excavation team, based this on three findings:</p><br>
<p>Radiocarbon analysis of charcoal samples found within the structure&#39;s walls all dated to approximately 30-430 AD, in the Middle Woodland period.</p><br>
<p>The structure&#39;s composition, setting, and layout is similar to other structures built by Middle Woodland cultures, such as the Hopewell people of Ohio and the Pinson Mound builders in West Tennessee.</p><br>
<p>Between 1966 and 1971, five Middle Woodland settlements were discovered within 20 mi of the Old Stone Fort, including a substantial habitation area 3 mi downstream.</p><br>
<p>The University of Tennessee determined the fort was built gradually over a period of several hundred years. The builders are believed to be two distinct local Middle Woodland cultures known as the McFarland and the Owl Hollow cultures, the first beginning work in the 1st century AD and the second completing it.</p><br>
<h3>What was the purpose of the Old Stone Fort?</h3><br>
<p>For decades, it was largely assumed the structure was used for military defense. Evidence from the 1966 excavations, however, points more to a religious or ceremonial function. Faulkner based this on the following:</p><br>
<p>Defensive structures are typically constructed quickly in response to a threat, but the Old Stone Fort was constructed gradually over several centuries.</p><br>
<p>The walls are not high enough to have been used for defense, and no evidence of a palisade was found.</p><br>
<p>The area within the walls is large and its defense would require much more than a typical Middle Woodland fighting force.</p><br>
<p>The 1966 excavations turned up almost no cultural artifacts, which implies the enclosure was kept clean and not continuously inhabited by its builders.</p><br>
<p>The "moat" that parallels the base of the southwestern edge of the peninsula was originally considered artificial, although researchers now believe it may be a natural dry riverbed.</p><br>
<h2>The Old Stone Fort Museum</h2><br>
<p>The Old Stone Fort Museum, built by Tennessee State Parks, is located near the park entrance. The museums exhibits interpret the theories regarding the forts builders, archaeological excavations at the site, small theater, small welcome/gift shop center, historical lineage of early Native Americans, and the culture of its builders. An observation deck atop the museum displays information about the Old Stone Fort and surrounding rivers and views of the Blue Hole Falls.</p><br>
<p>The Homestead Historic Downtown District, is a USA Historic District  located in Homestead, Florida, United States. It is bound by Northwest 4th Street, South Railroad Avenue, Southeast 1st Road and North Krome Drive.</p><br>
<p>Originally opened in 1921, the 500-seat Seminole on Krome Avenue was built for Henry Booker, Sr. and James Washington English for movies and live entertainment. The theater was heavily damaged in a 1940 fire, leaving little more than a blackened shell.</p><br>
<p>Prolific theater architect Roy A. Benjamin was hired to rebuild the Seminole, which he designed in Streamline Moderne style. The cost of the movie theater’s reconstruction was around $50,000. It reopened in fall of 1940. In addition to movies, the Seminole continued to host live entertainment, as well as beauty contests and cooking demonstrations. In the early 1970s, the Seminole was renamed the Premier Theatre and began to show Spanish-language movies. It closed in 1979 due to declining attendance.</p><br>
<p>For years, the theater sat vacant and fell into disrepair. In 1992, when Hurricane Andrew hit the Homestead area, the Seminole was not spared, and though its walls stood, the roof was torn off and the theater’s interior suffered serious damage. In 1993, the Seminole Theater’s owners donated the battered theater to the city, which designed it a local historic site two years later, the sole remaining example of Art Moderne style in all Dade County.</p><br>
<p>The Seminole Theater Group was organized in 1997 with the intention of restoring the theater as a performing arts venue serving the Homestead and Dade County region. It is expected to cost about $4.2 million to bring the old Seminole back to life. The Seminole Theatre was reopened October 28, 2015.</p><br>
<p>Louhajang River  is located in central Bangladesh. It branches out from the Jamuna near Gabsain at Bhuapur, Tangail District. Thereafter it splits into two parts before the parts meet up again. It flows past Tangail city, Karotia and Jamurki before joining the Bangshi Louhajang is linked with the Dhaleshwari</p><br>
<p>The average depth is 3 ft and maximum depth is 9 ft.</p><br>
<p>Until around the 1980s, launches and big boats carrying merchandise anchored at Tangail. A road at College Para in the town was named "Amghat" as mangoes from Rajshahi were unloaded there. Besides, the river linked shoals in the western part with rest of the district. The river started dying after the Water Development Board constructed a sluice gate near the confluence of Louhajang and Dhaleshwari rivers in 1992 under its Flood Action Plan-20. Boats stopped plying the route since then as the river lost navigability. In the subsequent years, encroachment of its banks and shore areas increased.</p><br>
<p>The former United Hebrews of Ocala synagogue is a historic Carpenter Gothic building located at 729 N.E. 2nd Street, in the Tuscawilla Park Historic District of Ocala, Florida. Built in 1888, it was one of the first synagogues in Florida. It is listed in the Marion County section of A Guide to Floridas Historic Architecture, published in 1989 by the University of Florida Press in Gainesville. In 1963, the congregation adopted the name Temple Bnai Darom. The building is a contributing property to the historic district. It is among the oldest synagogue buildings still standing in the United States.</p><br>
<h2>Current use</h2><br>
<p>Since 1976 Temple B&#39;nai Darom has worshiped in a new building at 49 Banyan Course in Ocala. The historic building on 2nd Street was sold and is now the Ocala Bible Chapel, a Christian congregation.</p><br>
<p>Roden Crater is a cinder cone type of volcanic cone from an extinct volcano, with a remaining interior volcanic crater. It is located northeast of the city of Flagstaff in northern Arizona, United States.</p><br>
<h2>Art project</h2><br>
<p>The artist James Turrell, for his land art project, acquired the 400,000-year-old, 3 mi crater&#39;s land. Turrell has since been transforming the inner cone of the crater into a massive naked-eye observatory, designed specifically for viewing and experiencing sky-light, solar, and celestial phenomena. The fleeting winter and summer solstice events will be highlighted.</p><br>
<h2>Future</h2><br>
<p>The Dia Art Foundation is continuing to advocate for the development of James Turrells Roden Crater project in the Painted Desert in Arizona which was begun in the 1970s with Dias support. James Turrell, who purchased the Roden Crater in 1979, had plans to open the crater for public viewing in 2011.</p><br>
<h2>Visiting</h2><br>
<p>A limited number of visitors can visit Roden Crater for a donation of $ 5000 to the Skystone Foundation, Turrell’s nonprofit organization An additional $1,500 will cover a hotel room, a tour, dinner onsite, and breakfast the following morning. So altogether it adds up to an amount of $ 6500 per person.</p><br>
<p>Marquette Island is the largest of the 36 islands in the Les Cheneaux archipelago of northern Michigan, United States. Located in Mackinac County on the north shore of Lake Huron, the island has a small summer population. It is 6.5 miles  long and 3.5 miles  wide. Its geographic center is close to 45 degrees 57 minutes N., 84 degrees 23 minutes W.</p><br>
<p>A narrow, freshwater sound, the Les Cheneaux Channel, separates Marquette Island from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The channel shore of Marquette Island is lined with Edwardian boathouses and cottages, relics of the islands development as real estate in the early 1900s. At its most narrow, the channel is less than 0.25 miles (0.4 km) in width. The islands summer inhabitants often travel by water to the nearby towns of Cedarville and Hessel for the necessities of life. The Les Cheneaux Yacht Club, a social center of the islands, is located on Marquette Island.</p><br>
<p>Although Marquette Island is large, it is not as expansive as its overall dimensions might suggest, because it is deeply gouged by freshwater bays such as Duck Bay, Hessel Bay, Peck Bay, and Wilderness Bay. There are no bridges or other means of automobile access to the island, and no roads on the island. Because of this, most island landowners own some sort of water frontage or dock access. The waters adjacent to Marquette Island are noted for freshwater fishing, particularly for lake perch. The island is named in honor of missionary/explorer Jacques Marquette.</p><br>
<h2>Home of Chief Shabwaway</h2><br>
<p>Marquette Island was the home of Chief Shab-wa-way, whose homesite was located directly south across the channel from the present site of the Les Cheneaux Club golf course. A plaque was placed on this location by the Les Cheneaux Historical Association in 1982. The plaque describes the significance of this site as follows:</p><br>
<p>"On this spot stood the log cabin of Chabowaway (sometimes called Shab-wa-way or Shabway), a leading chief of the Ottawa Indians. Here he and his ancestors lived for over a century and in this cabin he died about the year 1872 at the age, it is said, of over 100 years. March 28th, 1836, he represented his tribe and signed the Indian Treaty at Washington, D.C., ceding most of northern Michigan to the United States but reserving for himself and for his people the Islands of the chenos (Indian Treaties, Ed. of 1873, Vol. 1, p. 607). He was succeeded by his son Pay-Baw-Me-Say who took his father&#39;s name and who also died in this cabin, about the year 1882. Soon thereafter the cabin was burned by a company of hunters."</p><br>
<p>Between 1883 and 1887, the property on Club Point (the northernmost peninsula of Marquette Island) passed from the heirs of Shab-wa-way, through several temporary owners into the ownership of William L. Benham who purchased Club Point in 1888. Benham, Alfred E. Bousfield, and other investors, mostly from Bay City, MI, formed the Les Cheneaux Club, which attracted summer cottagers seeking to escape the heat and humidity of Chicago and other midwestern cities. The Club grounds contain a number of large summer homes which remain the most conspicuous feature of Marquette Island. Among the early members of the Club was the family of Aldo Leopold, who spent his childhood summers in the woods and waters of the Les Cheneaux Islands.</p><br>
<p>The Stilaro  is an Italian river, which runs through Bivongi, Pazzano and Stilo in the Province of Reggio Calabria, Calabria and, along with the river, gives its name to the Vallata dello Stilaro Allaro, the valley through which it flows. It is 59.17 km long.</p><br>
<p>Along the river there are remains of iron works, which arose with the industrialization of the area, mills and two hydroelectric plants.</p><br>
<p>In 389 BC, the Battle of the Elleporus was alongside the river.</p><br>

<h2>Cascata del Marmarico</h2><br>
<p>A significant feature of the river is the Cascata del Marmarico which, at 114 metres, is the tallest waterfall both in the region of Calabria and in the Southern Apennines. Its name, Marmarico means “slow” and “heavy”, perhaps deriving from the fact that the water seems to hang in motionless threads.</p><br>

<p>Morning Glory Pool is a hot spring in the Yellowstone Upper Geyser Basin of the United States.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The pool was named by Mrs E. N. McGowan, wife of Assistant Park Superintendent, Charles McGowan in 1883. She called it "Convolutus", the Latin name for the morning glory flower, which the spring resembles. By 1889, the name Morning Glory Pool had become common usage in the park. Many early guidebooks called this feature Morning Glory Spring.</p><br>
<h2>Composition</h2><br>
<p>The distinct color of the pool is due to bacteria which inhabit the water. On a few rare occasions the Morning Glory Pool has erupted as a geyser, usually following an earthquake or other nearby seismic activity.</p><br>
<p>Several entryways have been clogged due to objects being thrown in by tourists, reducing the hot water supply, and in turn altering the overall appearance of the pool. Several attempts by park officials to artificially induce eruptions to clear the pool of debris and clear blocked entryways have been met with mixed results. An interpretive sign, placed near the pool by the park service, discusses the damage caused by ignorance and vandalism and suggests that Morning Glory is becoming a "Faded Glory."</p><br>
<p>William T. Ogden House is a historic Neo-Classical Georgian style brick mansion located on 3 acre in Stirling, Alberta, Canada. Construction of the house began in 1910 and was finished in 1919 by William T. Ogden. The house has been a rooming house, pool hall and a dance studio, and in 1934 it became a temporary school for grades 1 through 4 due after the local school was affected by fire. This home is actually mentioned in village records as thought to be haunted as far back as the 1950s. Every Halloween, the owners conduct Stirling Haunted Mansion tours, making it the largest haunted house in Southern Alberta. The Santa Claus Mansion event is held there each December in conjunction with a Christmas lights tour. A 16 in gauge mini railroad, the Lost Frontier Mini-Railway, winds its way around the estate.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>William T. Ogden was another of the first to come to Canada to settle, he arrived in 1899. This house was the second to be built. His first house was smaller than the one that stands today.</p><br>
<p>The house was extremely well built, costing $15,000. The walls are about twelve inches thick and consist of two layers with a space the width of a brick between them to provide insulation. Foundation walls are even thicker to prevent seepage of water into the basement when flood irrigation was taking place around the house. The house had many conveniences not enjoyed by other homes in the community. It was lit by electricity, powered by twelve batteries, which were recharged by a motor, it was centrally heated by radiators and a coal-fired furnace, and had hot and cold running water which was pumped from a very large cistern beside the house into a storage tank in the basement. The rooms were large and spacious, the ceilings 10&#39; high, a wide staircase led to a large hall on the upper floor, with seven rooms leading off of it. The house was and still is a dominant landmark in the community.</p><br>
<p>While the house retains much of its integrity, particularly the exterior, the same cannot be said for the site upon which it sits. It is a large house that did not, and still does not, conform with the community in which it is located. For this reason, it is a distinctive landmark that impresses locals and visitors alike and raises many questions as to the reason for its construction.</p><br>
<p>William T. Ogden was one of the Mormon pioneers who arrived in Southern Alberta in 1899 to help build the St. Mary River Irrigation Canal. He designed the house himself, based on his memories of the architecture of the southern states where he served his mission and met his first wife. Together with an architect friend, Bent Rolfson, of Raymond, they drew up the plans, and with only "day labour" help built the house over a period of years, completing it in 1919. Ogden was a prominent member of the Stirling community. After his death in 1930, the house gradually fell into disrepair. It was used for classes for Grades 1 to 4 while the Stirling School was being reconstructed after a fire. It was used a pool hall, became an apartment house, and then a rooming house for "displaced persons" following World War II. Over the past thirty years it has been owned by individuals who have endeavoured to restore it.</p><br>

<p>The Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir  – originally called, and is known by locals as, the Central Park Reservoir – is a decommissioned reservoir in Central Park in the borough of Manhattan, New York City, stretching from 86th to 96th street.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The JKO Reservoir covers 106 acre and holds over 1,000,000,000 USgal of water. Though no longer used to distribute New York Citys water supply, it provides water for the Pool and the Harlem Meer. It is a popular place of interest in Central Park. There is a 1.58 mi jogging track around it and it is also encircled by the parks bridle trail. Bill Clinton, Madonna, and Mrs. Onassis have all run the track. It is often visited by tourists, especially when its double pink "Yoshino" cherries (Prunus x yedoensis), followed by Prunus serrulata Kanzan cherries, are blooming. The rhododendrons along the "Rhododendron Mile" were a gift to the city from Mrs Russell Sage in 1909. It is one of the main ecological sanctuaries in the park, housing more than 20 species of waterbirds: aside from the familiar mallards and Canada geese, there may also be seen coots, mergansers, northern shovelers, ruddy ducks, buffleheads, loons, cormorants, wood ducks, American black ducks, gadwall, grebes, herons and egrets, along with various species of gulls, making it a popular venue for birdwatchers.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Design and construction</h3><br>
<p>The reservoir was built between 1858 and 1862, to the design for Central Park of Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, It was decommissioned in 1993, after it was deemed obsolete because of a new main under 79th Street that connected with the Third Water Tunnel and because of growing concerns that it could become contaminated. Though deemed obsolete it remained a part of the NYC water supply and it was intended to be used to supplement the citys upstate water supply in drought emergencies. Concern about the reservoirs future grew in spring 1992: many people worried that the city would put turf over it as was done in the 1920s, when the adjacent Lower Reservoir was deemed obsolete. Today the Great Lawn rests on that reservoir&#39;s former site.</p><br>
<h3>Renaming</h3><br>
<p>It was renamed in honor of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis in 1994 to commemorate her contributions to the city (which included saving Grand Central Station from demolition and then renovating it to be an architectural landmark, protesting against the building of structures which would hinder Central Park’s beauty, and serving as a board member of the Municipal Art Society) and because she enjoyed jogging in the area, which lay beneath the windows of her 1040 Fifth Avenue apartment located on the Upper East Side.</p><br>
