<p>The Grundy Mills Complex or Bristol Worsted Mills in Bristol, Bucks County, Pennsylvania includes 13 textile mill buildings built from 1876-1930, by the William H. Grundy Co. It operated as a worsted mill until 1946 and still is used for industrial operations.</p><br>
<p>The 1911 clock tower is 168 ft tall. Other buildings range from 1 to 7 stories tall. The larger buildings, built from 1900-1915, include the warehouse, the powerhouse, and the clock tower, are monumental in scale and can be seen from well outside the town. Over 850 workers were employed in the plant in 1920 when it was the largest employer in Bucks County.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<p>The Grundy Mill Clock Tower was the subject of a 2017 painting by Jean-Marc Dubus. Jean-Marc, an immigrant from Nice, France, and current resident of Langhorne, PA, chose to paint the tower for its architecture and grandeur, standing watch over Bristol Borough.</p><br>
<p>Serra de Vallivana  or Muntanyes de Vallivana is an over 14 km long mountain range straddling the Alt Maestrat and Baix Maestrat comarcas, Valencian Community, Spain.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The highest point of the range is the 1,275 m high Muixacre, located close to the Port de Querol mountain pass in the N-232 road. Other important peaks are Montserrat and Talaió. These mountains are frequently covered in snow in the winter.</p><br>
<p>This mountain chain rises between the almost abandoned village of Vallivana and the top of the Maestrat mountains, south of the Serra del Turmell and west of the Serra de l&#39;Espadella ranges.</p><br>
<p>These mountains are named after the virgin of Vallivana, the patroness of Morella. The easiest route to reach the range is from Vallivana or from Morella</p><br>
<h2>Ecology</h2><br>
<p>This sparsely-populated mountain area has the most important forested zone of the region with large prey birds such as the griffon vulture and wild animals like Spanish ibex, roe deer and wild boar.</p><br>
<p>The area of this range together with the neighboring Tinença de Benifassà and Serra del Turmell was declared a Site of Community Importance by the European Union under the name Tinença de Benifassà, Turmell i Vallivana.</p><br>
<p>Dahlerups Pakhus , originally known as Pakhus 1 , is a former Warehouse situated on the west side of the Langelinie Pier, opposite the Middle Pier, in Copenhagen, Denmark. Designed by Vilhelm Dahlerup, from whom it now takes its name, it was built between 1892 and 1893.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Dahlerup Warehouse was originally known as Warehouse 1 and built as part of the Freeport of Copenhagen which was constructed during the first half of the 1890s.</p><br>
<p>After the free port was closed the building remained in use as a warehouse for a while but then fell into disrepair and was left empty for almost 30 years.</p><br>
<p>In the 1990s it was thoroughly renovated and is now listed as a landmark.</p><br>
<h2>The Dahlerup Warehouse today</h2><br>
<p>The building now houses the Danish Enterprise and Construction Authority, a government agency under the Minister of Economic and Business Affairs. It is also home to Denmark&#39;s Customs and Taxes Museum.</p><br>
<p>The University Courts Historic District is a historic district and neighborhood in Bloomington, Indiana, United States.</p><br>
<h2>Greek houses</h2><br>
<p>The Sigma Chi house at 601 E. Seventh Street, built in Free Classic style, was enlarged in 1925 by Granger, Lowe & Bollenbacher in a manner sympathetic to the original design.</p><br>
<p>The northeast corner of Indiana Avenue and Eighth Street was originally the site of a Tudor Revival house built by Maude Showers. Situated on three lots and designed by Carlisle Bollenbacher, the house was sold to Delta Tau Delta and used for a fraternity until destroyed by fire in February 1935. The fraternity rebuilt on the same site. The new house was designed by Burns & James and retained the same placement on the three lots as the original house. The general contractor was Charles A. Pike.</p><br>
<p>Delta Zeta at 809 East Seventh Street was designed by John Nichols in 1923 in the Classical Revival Style. The general contractor was Charles F. Johnson.</p><br>
<h3>Demolished houses</h3><br>
<p>Before the district was first nominated for the National Register, four houses on the east half of the block bounded by Indiana Avenue, Fess Avenue, Eighth Street and Ninth Street were demolished. Joseph Smith of the Showers Brothers furniture factory engaged John Nichols to build a two story brick Colonial Revival house at 403 North Fess in 1914. J. Neill was the general contractor. Clarence Neill, general contractor, built a house for Charles F. Johnson at 421 North Fess in 1916. Edwin C. Doeppers and Company were the architects. Indiana University’s Mathers Museum of World Cultures and the Glenn A. Black Laboratory of Archaeology now occupy those two lots, among others.</p><br>

<p>The Najafgarh drain or Najafgarh nallah , which also acts as Najafgarh drain bird sanctuary, is another name for the northern most end of River Sahibi, which continues its flow through Delhi, where it is channelized, and then flows into the Yamuna. Within Delhi, due to its channelization for flood control purposes, it is now erroneously called "Najafgarh drain" or "Najafgarh nallah." It gets this name from the once famous and huge Najafgarh Jheel  near the town of Najafgarh in southwest Delhi and within urbanized Delhi. It is the Indian capital’s most polluted water body due to direct inflow of untreated sewage from surrounding populated areas. A January 2005 report by the Central Pollution Control Board classifies this drain, with 13 other highly polluted wetlands, under category ‘‘D’’ for assessing the water quality of wetlands in wildlife habitats.</p><br>
<p>This drain was widened as a flood control drain linking the Najafgarh lake to the river Yamuna, thus completely draining the once huge and ecologically rich Najafgarh Lake, famous for its wetland ecosystem, waterbirds and wildlife.</p><br>
<h2>Classification and naming</h2><br>
<p>Within the National Capital Territory of Delhi (NCT), this channelized waterway—misclassified, misnamed as a mere drain (Najafgarh drain or nallah)--is, in fact, the continuation of the Sahibi River and an elongation of the Najafgarh jheel Lake. During the 1960s and before, the rain-fed Sahibi River, which originates in the Jaipur District of Rajasthan, passing through Alwar District in Rajasthan and Gurgaon District in Haryana, entered Delhi near Dhansa and spilled its overflow in the Najafgarh Lake basin. This overflow created a seasonal lake; an area of more than 300 km&sup2; was submerged in some seasons. This water then continued to flow on the other side, forming a tributary of the River Yamuna. In the following decades, this Sahibi River flow reaching the Dhansa regulators was channelized by digging out a wide drain and connecting it directly to the River Yamuna. This channelization also completely drained off the seasonal Najafgarh Jheel that had formed there previously. The channelized drain from Dhansa regulators to Keshopur Bus Depot on Outer Ring Road is wide with thick and high embankments. A vast amount of water is retained in this widened drain by closing the Kakrola regulators under Najafgarh Road to recharge the local ground watertable; hence it acts like an elongated lake as well.</p><br>
<h2>Bird sanctuary and wetland</h2><br>
<p>Wetland ecosystem and wildlife habitat important to migratory waterbirds and local wildlife</p><br>
<p>The drain has been much widened over the years to drain all the water which in earlier decades used to collect in the Nagafgarh Jheel basin; this was supposedly done to remove the threat of flooding in Delhi and now the drain itself acts as an elongated water body or lake with trees planted on both its embankments with an inspection road running on one embankment. During the winter months it attracts vast numbers of migratory birds and also supports local wildlife year-round. Due to the rich wildlife observed in and around the less polluted stretch of the drain outside of congested populated areas, it has been proposed as a bird sanctuary for Delhi.</p><br>
<p>The wetland ecosystem and wildlife habitat on several kilometers of less polluted Najafgarh drain in rural Delhi before entering the main city including the former Najafgarh lake or Najafgarh jheel area is very important habitat to migratory waterbirds as well as local wildlife and has been earmarked to be declared a bird sanctuary for Delhi. The area came to be recognized as an important wildlife habitat after a local naturalist studying the area during 1986–88 called attention to it recommending it to be conserved as a bird sanctuary after which the Delhi wildlife department posted 16 guards in the area to control illegal bird hunters including diplomats from various international embassies located in Delhi, India&#39;s capital. Delhi Administration officials were tasked with declaring about 25 km stretch of the drain in rural Delhi, including where it passes through the core area of the now drained Najafgarh Lake, "protected" under the "Wildlife Act" after Lt.-Governor of Delhi Mr. H.L. Kapur was invited to the area for touring the site where he also heard accounts of local villagers about the rampant illegal hunting of waterbirds that went on here every year. The existing staff of the Flood Control and Irrigation Department numbering about 40 were also given the additional responsibility of protecting the wildlife on and around the drain.</p><br>
<h2>Forested embankments</h2><br>
<p>The Najafgarh drain has been much widened over the past decades and now has thick mud embankments on both its sides to channel the waters and protect Delhi from floods, these embankments have been planted with thick forest cover which serve as a much needed habitat for remnant local wildlife occurring in nearby and surrounding farmlands including common foxes, jackals, hares, wild cats, nilgai, porcupines and various reptiles and snakes including the dreaded cobras. Many local birds including waterbirds roost and nest in these trees.</p><br>
<p>Sections of the forested embankments of Najafgarh drain are currently classified as and are featured in Protected Forests and Recorded Forests (Notified Forest Areas in Delhi) as "M. P. Green area Najafgarh Drain (Tagore garden)", "Afforestation M.P.Green Area Najafgarh Drain (DDA)" and "Chhawla or Najafgarh drain city forest (29.64 Acre)".</p><br>
<h2>Embankment road</h2><br>
<p>There is a well kept drivable inspection road maintained by Irrigation and Flood Control Department of Delhi on one of the drains embankment throughout its entire length of several kilometers running through rural Delhi from Dhansa regulators at the southwest border of Delhi with the state of Haryana to where the drain crosses under the outer ring road at Keshopur bus depot near the Najafgarh road between the housing colonies of Vikaspuri and Tilak Nagar in New Delhi.</p><br>
<p>Bird-watchers and nature-lovers can view the wildlife and waterbirds occurring on the drain from vehicles by driving on this road and stopping intermittently and going down to the waters edge. As the width of the drain is limited the flocks of waterfowl and other waterbirds in the drain can be easily observed from the drains edges and this same fact makes the birds much more vulnerable to hunting as they remain in easy reach of the poachers shotguns and the nets and traps set for them by local villagers and professional trappers.</p><br>
<h2>Recharging, irrigation</h2><br>
<p>The continuous widening of the Najafgarh drain since the 1960s led to the complete draining of the once vast and rich Najafgarh lake, jheel or marsh which directly affected the ground water table in the entire surrounding region as all the rain water after yearly monsoons that used to collect in the vast lake basin in previous years now ran off swiftly through the widened drain into river Yamuna in which it outfalls, this has been affecting the entire climate of the region as well making the region more arid and creating water shortages for the purpose of irrigation or human consumption for the people of Delhi and surrounding regions.</p><br>
<p>Currently the drain is so wide and deep that it acts as an elongated lake in its own right and can hold and store a lot of rain water which can be regulated through regulators built into it at intervals. Maintaining of proper water-level in the drain and storage of rainwater in it during the summer months leads to recharging of ground water table which the surrounding farmers find much helpful as they access the high water table though tube wells dug on their farmlands though which they pump water to irrigate their crops. Farmers owning farmlands bordering the drain in rural Delhi directly use pipes and hoses to pump water from the drain for irrigation.</p><br>
<h2>Fishing</h2><br>
<p>The relatively cleaner portion of the drain in rural southwest Delhi before it enters densely populated and badly polluted area at Vikaspuri also attracts some small scale local village fishermen, occasionally one can be seen casting his line or net in the waters or floating on a black inflated truck tire tube spreading his fishing net across the breadth of the drain. A fishing license is needed to catch fish legally in Delhi waters.</p><br>
<h2>Water hyacinth overgrowth</h2><br>
<p>The water hyacinth, an introduced invasive species of fast growing floating plants completely clogs the open water surface of the drain in many areas annually and lot of funds and labour is employed by the flood control department to clear it some what to keep the water flow uninterrupted. The removing of the water hyacinth by laborers also opens up the water surface for birds and migratory waterfowl that take refuge here every winter.</p><br>
<h2>Covering for development</h2><br>
<p>There is a development scheme in the works where Najafgarh drain will be covered by the Flood Department from Vijay Nagar, Delhi to Hakikat Nagar and on the covered area shops will be built.</p><br>
<h2>Najafgarh lake, marsh or jheel</h2><br>
<p>Najafgarh lake, Najafgarh marsh or Najafgarh jheel (Jheel in Hindi means a lake) used to be a vast lake in the south west of Delhi in India near the town of Najafgarh from which it takes its name, it was connected to the river Yamuna by a natural shallow nullah or drain called the Najafgarh nullah. However, after the 1960s the Flood Control Department of Delhi kept widening the Najafgarh drain in the pretext of saving Delhi from floods and eventually quickly drained the once huge and ecologically rich Najafgarh lake completely. Rainwater accumulating in the Najafgarh lake or jheel basin had been recorded to have occupied more than 300 square kilometers in many years before its unfortunate draining.</p><br>
<p>However, with recent advances in ecological understanding it has become clear that draining of this vast lake affected the entire climate of this important region that is Indias capital territory and its neighborhood. The draining of the lake completely also caused the watertable in the entire area to go down and the area becoming arid. There have been some plans since to at least resurrect a much smaller lake in the area. Most of the Najafgarh jheel basin lands have increased many folds in their value owing to them coming within Delhi, Indias capital territory and are under ownership of farmers who may want to make a fast buck selling them to developers who want to convert the former lake basin into housing complexes as has already been happening with major housing colonies coming up in the region. If Najafgarh drain, which was built to drain the original Najafgarh lake or jheel, ever breaches its wide embankments it will flood these developed lands owing to them spread all over the former low lying jheel or lake basin.</p><br>
<h3>Before draining, a vast lake</h3><br>
<p>Before the unfortunate complete draining of this lake in the 1960s by widening of the Najafgarh drain by the Flood control and irrigation department of Delhi the lake in many years filled up a depression more than 300 km&sup2; in rural Delhi, It had an extremely rich wetland ecosystem forming a refuge for vast quantities of waterbirds and local wildlife. The lake was one of the last habitats of the famed and endangered Siberian Crane which has all but vanished from the Indian subcontinent now. Till before independence many British colonial Officers and dignitaries came in large parties for waterfowl hunting every season.</p><br>
<p>The Circus Building  on Axel Torv in Copenhagen, Denmark. is a circular building completed in 1886 to serve as a venue for circus performances. The last circus to use the building was in 1990</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Construction phase</h3><br>
<p>The Circus building was designed by the architect Henrik Vilhelm Brinkopff and built from 1885 to 1886 in the area outside the former Western City Gate which was Copenhagen&#39;s premier entertainment district with nearly venues such as Tivoli Gardens and National Scala, inaugurated Cirkus Benneweis in 1882 and since then it has housed a variety of other events and activities. It is now used for shows and as a restaurant.</p><br>
<p>At that time, circus tents were relatively uncommon. Instead, touring circus companies performed in permanent venues. They were generally simple wooden structures but in major cities elaborate circus buildings in brick and stone became increasingly common. Ernst Renz, director of Circus Renz and artist who had made a fortune on his trade, had built extravagant circus buildings in cities such as Berlin, Hamburg, Vienna and Breslau. In Copenhagen he leased the new building on a three-year contract.</p><br>
<p>The first plans envisioned an extravagant building with an elaborate facade with statues and Greek columns but in the end a much simpler design was chosen.</p><br>
<h3>Early years of running</h3><br>
<p>The Circus Building was inaugurated on 8 May 1886 but Renz sub-rented the building in 1887 to his German colleague, Albert Schumann the Elder, who, a few years earlier, had opened a circus in the Swedish town of Malmö on the other side of the Øresund.</p><br>
<p>Renz did not renew his lease after the 1888 season and died in 1891. Instead the Circus building played host to performances by a variety of visiting foreign circus companies which passed through Copenhagen on their European tours.</p><br>
<p>In March 1914, the Circus building was devastated by a fire which left only the outer walls standing. It was quickly rebuilt, under the direction of the architect Holger Jacobsen, and reopened in 1915 with the German Zirkus Sarrasani as tenant.</p><br>
<h3>Circus Schumann: 1918&ndash;1937 and 1943&ndash;1969</h3><br>
<p>In 1916, Cirkus Schumann performed in the building. The company was run by Willy, Ernst, and Oscar Schumann, nephews of Albert Schumann, after they had taken over the family business from their father, Max Schumann, the previous year. They returned to the Circus building in 1918 and except for a few years&#39; break during the beginning of World War II performed there every summer until 1968. During that period, their company was synonymous with circus in Denmark, and won a reputation as one of the best in Europe, particularly for equestrian presentations.</p><br>
<p>In 1963, a retail company, Anva, bought the Circus building to replace it with a modern department store but the plans were abandoned after massive protests and due to lack of funding. Still, due to escalating rent and the uncertainty about the building&#39;s future, Circus Schumanns chose to leave the building in 1969.</p><br>
<h3>Cirkus Benneweis era</h3><br>
<p>The Schumanns were succeeded by another prominent Danish circus, Benneweis, headed by Eli Benneweis, presenting summer performances from 1970 to 1990. In 1974, the City bought the building and rented it out to the Benneweis family, who also became responsible for operating the World Cinema during the winter months.</p><br>
<p>In 1988, the Circus building was listed by the Danish Heritage Agency. After decreasing ticket sales, Circus Benneweis decided to leave the building in 1990. The building has since been used for a variety of activities and events, including musicals, ballet, conferences and concerts.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The building is circular and topped by a shallow dome. The most distinctive feature of the facade is a frieze located just below the roof on the periphery of the outer wall. It was created by the sculptor Frederik Hammeleff and survived the fire in 1906. It depicts motifs from ancient Rome and Greece.</p><br>
<h2>Today</h2><br>
<p>Since 2003, the building has been leased by Wallmans salonger, a Swedish entertainment company, which uses it for a dinner and entertainment venue.</p><br>
<h2>In popular culture</h2><br>
<p>The Circus Buuilding is used as a location in the 1973 Olsen Gang film The Olsen Gang Goes Crazy.</p><br>
<p>The Schwaltenweiher is a reservoir lake in the Ostallgäu foothills of the Alps. It lies 14 km from the Allgäu Alps between the towns of Seeg and Rückholz. It was named after the Schwaltenmühle mill built beside it, which was in turn named after the Schwalt or Schwald family. It is now used for bathing and fishing.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Maximilian I, Holy Roman Emperor set aside the lake in 1514 for fishing and hunting waterfowl. His neighbouring Schloss Falkenberg (at what is now Goldhasen am Westufer) was destroyed by Imperial troops during the Thirty Years&#39; War to prevent it falling into Swedish hands. The lake has passed through several owners over the following centuries, but is still in private hands. Notable guests there have been Theodor Heuss, Horst Köhler and Theo Waigel.</p><br>

<p>Staten Island Borough Hall is the primary municipal building for the borough of Staten Island in New York City. It is located at 10 Richmond Terrace, next to the Richmond County Courthouse and opposite the Staten Island Ferry Terminal. Staten Island Borough Hall houses the Borough President&#39;s office, offices of the Departments of Buildings and T</p><br>
<p>ransportation, and other civic offices.</p><br>
<p>The 1906 French Renaissance style brick and limestone building was designed by Carrere and Hastings, following the consolidation of New York City in 1898. John Carrere was a resident of Staten Island and he helped select the dramatic hilltop site of Borough Hall. The interior of the building contains a series of thirteen WPA murals illustrating events in Staten Island history, painted in 1940 by local artist Frederick Charles Stahr.</p><br>
<p>The building is a New York City Landmark and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>Lake Esrum  is the largest lake in Denmark by water volume and the second-largest lake by surface area, after lake Arresø. It is situated in the central part of North Zealand , straddling the boundaries of the municipalities Hillerød, Fredensborg, Helsingør and Gribskov, some 40 kilometres north of Copenhagen.</p><br>
<p>The lake covers 17 km, Its length from north to south is 8.4 km and its maximum depth is 22 m. Its principal drainage is Esrum Å, a 10-km stream which passes Esrum Watermill and the remains of Esrum Abbey on its way to The Kattegat at Dronningmølle. The western shore of the lake is dominated by Gribskov, one of Denmark&#39;s largest forests, and the small town of Nødebo. Fredensborg Palace, one of the official residences of the Danish Royal Family, with its extensive gardens, is situated on the southeast shore. Boat trips operate on the lake from Sørup, a village just south of the palace gardens.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Commercial fishing</h3><br>
<p>Like many of the surrounding forests, Lake Esrum was originally a royal domain. It was first administrated by Tentekammeret and later by Frederiksborg Amtsstue on behalf of the Danish government. Fishing in the lake was entrusted with a fishing master (Danish: fiskemester) who resided at Fiskergården, located next to Slotsmøllen at Slotssøen in Hillerød. From 1864, fishing was carried out by private citizens and from 1907, fishing rights were sold at auction. Commercial fishing continued until 1989.</p><br>
<h3>Esrum canal</h3><br>
<p>From the beginning of the 19th century, Lake Esrum played a role in the transport of firewood from Grib Forest to Copenhagen. From 1802 to 1805, a canal was constructed between the north end of the lake and Dronningmølle. Here firewood was loaded onto large cargo ships and sailed to Copenhagen. The canal was 9 km long, 9 m wide and 1.5 m deep. The work was led by Adolph von der Recke and carried out by local peasants, soldiers and forced labour workers. A towpath ran on the banks of the canal and on the western shores of lake Esrum. The timber had to pass a 4-metre crater-like ramp called Væltningen, which connected the upper section of the canal to its lower part. The upper part of the canal passed two ponds. One of them, Storedam (Great Pond), was the site of a watermill which was first used as backup for the gunpowder mill in Frederiksværk during the English Wars and later for the manufacturing of textiles for the army. Transportation of firewood on the canal continued until 1874 and it was later used for leisure trips. It has now dried out and been covered by forest, but Væltningen and other elements are still visible in the landscape.</p><br>
<h3>Sørup's washhouses</h3><br>
<p>From the middle of the 19th century, the small village of Sørup on the southeastern shores of the lake was home to numerous laundries. The laundry was picked up at institutions and wealthy households in both Copenhagen, Hillerød and Elsinore. When the industry peaked, Sørup was home to 20 laundries with some one hundred employees.</p><br>
<h2>Hydrology</h2><br>
<p>The water quality of lake Esrum is considered good.</p><br>
<p>Since 2002, there have been a few incidences of trematoda plaguing swimmers in the summertime every year. The trematodes are a natural part of lake Esrums&#39; aquatic life.</p><br>
<h2>Ecology</h2><br>
<p>Lake Esrum have a large population of European perch and Northern pike. Other species includes European eel, ruffe, bream, roach, tench and bleak. A smaller population of brown trout is living here, having adapted to the freshwater.</p><br>
<p>The professional fishing for eel, was previously substantial, but in 1997 the annual catch had fallen to 388 kg from a mere 14 tons. Nowadays, the lake is exclusively fished by anglers.</p><br>
<p>The birdlife at the lake is varied. The common goldeneye was formerly a rare breeding bird in Denmark, but after a determined effort involving setting up artificial nests, the species is almost a signature of lake Esrum. Other common birds here includes Eurasian coot, mallard, tufted duck, great crested grebe and mute swan. The reed beds along the lake brinks, hold many swan nests and in the southern end, a colony of the great cormorant have found a home, with several hundreds of nests.</p><br>
<h2>Protections</h2><br>
<p>Lake Esrum is part of a larger 7,400 ha Natura 2000 area, comprising Gribskov and a few smaller woodlands nearby.</p><br>
<h2>Activities</h2><br>
<p>Esrum Sø Bådfart (English: Lake Esrum Boat Service) operates boat trips on the lake from Chaluphuset, a former royal boathouse located at Sørup on the south side of Fredensborg Palace gardens. Chaluphuset is also used as a venue from special events. Esrum Sø Bådfart also operates a café in Fendrikshus, a former forest workers house in Gribskov on the other side of the lake. The café is open Friday-Sunday and can be reached by boat or on foot or bicycle through the forest. Skipperhuset, Chaluphusets next door neighbour, is a lunch restaurant overlooking the lake.</p><br>
<h2>Cultural references</h2><br>
<p>Egon (Ove Sprogøe) and Kjeld (Morten Grunwald) are quarrelling with Lake Esrom as a backdrop (in Nødebo Holt) at 1:02:54 in the 1978 Olsen Gang film The Olsen Gang Sees Red.</p><br>
<p>St. George Coast Guard Station, or the Staten Island Coast Guard Station, located adjacent to the Staten Island Ferry terminal, began its life in 1778. It is a complex of 22 historic buildings and was best known for the invention and manufacturing of lighthouse equipment. The Office Building and USA Light-House Depot Complex, designed by Alfred B. Mullet and completed in 1865, are landmarked buildings listed on the National Register.</p><br>
<p>In the late 1990s, New York City Economic Development Corporation (EDC) took over the site and created a public plaza; a public fishing pier (Pier 1); a fully functioning building that was supposed to house a gift shop for the National Lighthouse Museum. EDC also stabilized the building adjacent to the gift shop for the purpose of housing the Museum&#39;s artifacts.</p><br>
<p>The site has views of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge; Brooklyns Shore Road, Governors Island and Manhattan. During the summer months, concerts and events sponsored by local organizations such as Staten Island Community Board 1 and the Downtown Staten Island Council attract tourists from the ferry as well as local residents.</p><br>
<h2>Office Building and USA Light-House Depot Complex</h2><br>
<p>The Office Building and USA Light-House Depot Complex, also known as the Old Administration Building for the Third District USA Coast Guard, is a historic office building and light house repair depot complex. The complex consists of four buildings: the three-story brick and sandstone office building in the Second Empire style; two brick warehouses; and a small one-story brick building formerly used as a laboratory. The office building was designed by the Office of the Supervising Architect under Alfred B. Mullett in 1869. The warehouses were built about 1845 and in 1868. The older warehouse is in the Greek Revival style.</p><br>
<h2>United States Lighthouse Board</h2><br>
<p>The office building was constructed during the time that USA lighthouses were administered by the United States Lighthouse Board, which had been founded in 1851 to improve lighthouse technology and management practices. The board divided the nation into 12 districts, each served by a depot where supplies for the district&#39;s lighthouses were stored, particularly the flammable fuels in use at that time, which required specialized handling. The depot in St. George, Staten Island served the Third Lighthouse District, which stretched from Maine to Delaware and thus included many of the best known and historic lights on the Eastern Seaboard, including Sandy Hook Light, Montauk Light, and Barnegat Light. Vaults for fuel storage remain on the depot property, and other supplies were stored in the warehouses. The laboratory building was used to research improved materials and techniques for use in USA lighthouses.</p><br>
<p>The functions of the Lighthouse Board were transferred to other USA government agencies starting in 1903, and ultimately to the USA Coast Guard in 1939, whereupon the site became known as the St. George Coast Guard Station and the office building as the Administration Building of that facility. Finally in 1966 the Coast Guard vacated the facility when it moved its operations to Governors Island, and the site became surplus property. and the listing of the entire site on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. In the late 1990s the New York City Economic Development Corporation acquired the property, but did little with it for several years.</p><br>
<h2>Current use of the site</h2><br>
<p>In 1998 the site was selected to be the site of a new National Lighthouse Center and Museum. By this time the buildings, having been abandoned for over thirty years, were in serious need of restoration. The museum resumed fundraising in 2010 and by early 2014 had raised over $400,000, enough to secure a short term lease on the site&#39;s building 11, a 1912 machine shop on the boundary of the site. The museum plans to open in building 11 in August 2014. However this is not enough to renovate the entire site and fundraising for the museum continues.</p><br>
<p>As of 2014, the other historic structures, including the office building, are fenced off and are in near-ruined condition. In April 2014 the Economic Development Corporation and a developer, Triangle Equities, jointly announced their plan to build a complex, to be completed in 2019 and to be known as Lighthouse Point, that would incorporate the existing historic structures and would include hotel, residential, and retail uses.</p><br>
<p>Browsholme Hall is a privately owned Elizabethan house in the parish of Bowland Forest Low in the borough of Ribble Valley, Lancashire , England. It is claimed to be the oldest surviving family home in Lancashire. Since 1954, it has been designated a Grade I listed building by English Heritage.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In the fourteenth century, Edmund Parker was park-keeper of Radholme Laund, west of Browsholme, one of the two great deer parks in the Forest of Bowland. In 1393, his sons Richard and John were deputy parkers of Radholme, but from 1380, they had a lease of the vaccary (mediaeval cattle farm) of Browsholme. Richard probably built the original house on the present site around that time.</p><br>
<p>When in 1507, King Henry VII disafforested Bowland, Edmund Parker obtained a copyhold of Nether Browsholme and began the present house. Thomas Parker, purchased the freehold of Browsholme from the Crown in 1603 and further improved the house, which had been enlarged by his father. His grandson, also called Thomas, is believed to have added a formal garden in 1674.</p><br>
<p>On the death of his father, John Parker in 1797, Thomas Lister Parker succeeded to the Browsholme estate. In 1804 and 1805, he made alterations to the Hall, rebuilding the west wing, and afterwards he made additions under the superintendence of Sir Jeffry Wyatville. He had a taste for landscape gardening, and between 1797 and 1810, spent large sums in laying the grounds. In the house, he displayed a collection of antiquities and pictures, partly formed by himself. He had a large series of drawings and prints bought during a tour on the continent in 1800 and 1801, at Moscow, Venice, and Paris; a large collection of drawings of castles and manor-houses by John Chessell Buckler, and portfolios of his own drawings. He also possessed pictures of the Flemish school and works of James Northcote and Thomas Gainsborough. Thomas Lister Parker ultimately bankrupted himself and was forced to pass the estate to a cousin.</p><br>
<p>Robert Goulbourne Parker repaired Browsholme in 1958 with the aid of the Historic Buildings Council, and from 1957, opened the house to the public, giving personally guided tours.</p><br>
<p>In 2010, the present owners Robert and Amanda Parker, restored the 17th century tithe barn for use as an event space. In April 2015 Amanda Parker became High Sheriff of Lancashire.</p><br>
<h2>Bowbearers of the Forest of Bowland</h2><br>
<p>The Parker family have been Bowbearers of the Forest of Bowland since the Restoration. The office fell into abeyance in the late nineteenth century but in 2010, the 16th Lord of Bowland re-asserted his ancient right and appointed Robert Parker his Bowbearer of the Forest of Bowland, the first Parker to be so appointed in more than 150 years.</p><br>
<p>In 2011, Robert Parker led a party of dignitaries from the Bowland Higher Division Parish Council, the Forest authorities, and local community, to welcome the 16th Lord of Bowland to Dunsop Bridge on his first official to the Forest. In October 2012, Robert Parker was formally presented with his Bowbearers "wand of office" by the 16th Lord of Bowland at a public ceremony in Slaidburn. This ceremony marked the 90th anniversary of the final meeting of the manorial court at the towns Tudor courthouse.</p><br>
<p>Arethusa Falls is a waterfall in the White Mountains of New Hampshire in the United States. The waterfall occurs when the headwaters of Bemis Brook tumble over a granite cliff on the western slope of Crawford Notch. They are sometimes erroneously referred to as the tallest waterfalls in New Hampshire, but they are in fact the second tallest, after the Mahoosuc Range&#39;s seasonal Dryad Falls.</p><br>
<p>Arethusa Falls was discovered by Edward Tuckerman in 1875. It was named after the nymph Arethusa, daughter of Nereus. At the time, the falls were measured to be 176 ft tall, but the Appalachian Mountain Club now estimates the height at 140 ft.</p><br>
<p>The falls are located within Crawford Notch State Park and are accessible by means of the 1.5 mi Arethusa Falls Trail from USA Route 302.</p><br>

<p>The George Stumpf House is a historic residence in Indianapolis, Indiana, United States. Located along Meridian Street on the southern side of the city, it was started in 1870 and completed in 1872.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was built as the home of George Stumpf, a native of Bavaria who moved to Indiana with his family in 1838. A craftsman, Stumpf was both a blacksmith and a manufacturer of wagons for much of his working life. As he grew older, his eyes became damaged by the strain of smithing, so he and his wife Elizabeth purchased property on South Meridian Street in northern Perry Township, which was then known as Three Notch Road. Here they built a log cabin and began farming; as they prospered, they prepared to erect a brick house, but construction was delayed nearly ten years by the American Civil War.</p><br>
<p>Stumpf and his wife were active in local society: they were members of Zion Evangelical Protestant Church in Indianapolis, and they participated in the establishment of the General German Protestant Orphans Home. They were the parents of eight children; after the deaths of their parents, the land was divided among all the children, with the house passing into the possession of George Stumpf II. He departed from his father&#39;s career, embarking in the manufacturing of sausages; after his death, the house was owned by three successive generations of his descendants.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The Stumpf House is a symmetrical two-story brick structure with a foundation of fieldstone; except for a small addition to the rear that consists of a porch and kitchen, it is rectangular in layout. Inside, the two floors have similar plans: a center hallway with a stairway is surrounded by four rooms of equal sizes. An attic sits above the upper story. In its early years, the house was one of two buildings on the property: a small summer house was erected behind the main residence for the use of the farm&#39;s employees.</p><br>
<p>George Stumpf chose an elaborate form of the Italianate style of architecture for his home. Aside from the increased height needed by its unusually high attic, the house is a textbook example of the style: it features wide eaves with large wooden brackets, a hip roof, corbelling below the attic, and rounded arch windows. Measuring five bays wide, the facade includes shorter attic windows, a recessed entrance with a heavy wooden front door, and two large chimneys. Virtually none of the house has seen significant modifications, except for the small addition on the rear: this has seen the replacement of its original gable window, the addition of casement and aluminum storm windows to the kitchen, and the enclosure of the porch. Although the houses interior deteriorated over the twentieth century, it remained one of the areas best Italianate structures. It includes many design features common to large Italianate houses in Indiana, such as the symmetrical floor plan with a five-bay facade.</p><br>
<h2>Recognition</h2><br>
<p>In 1979, the Stumpf House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying because of its historically significant architecture. It is one of five National Register-listed locations in Perry Township, along with the main administration building of the University of Indianapolis, the Hanna-Ochler-Elder House, the Homecroft Historic District, and the Old Southport High School.</p><br>
<p>The Castejón Mountains  are a mountain range in the Cinco Villas comarca, Aragon, Spain, located about 30 km to the north of Zaragoza. They are named after the town of Castejón de Valdejasa in the midst of the range.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Castejón Mountains are covered with low and mostly sparse forest made up mainly Carrasca (Quercus ilex) and pine trees, often subject to wildfires during droughts. The ridge&#39;s highest summit is Esteban (747 m). Other important summits are Guarizo (745 m), Pogallinero (639 m), Escalerilla (585 m) and Lomaza (476 m).</p><br>
<p>The northwestern part of the range is also known as Sierra de Erla, after the town of Erla, located further north, or as Montes de Sora, after the Sora Castle.</p><br>
<p>There are also wind turbines installed in some of the upper ridges.</p><br>
<p>The Mariina skála,  is a 428 m rocky hill in the Czech Republic, located in the region of Bohemian Switzerland not far from Jetřichovice . It was named in the 19th century after Princess Marie Kinsky. Before that, the hill was known as the "Spitzgestein" or "Grosser Spitziger". The hill is one of the best viewing points in Bohemian Switzerland.</p><br>
<p>In 1856 a wooden refuge hut was erected on the hilltop by Ferdinand Bonaventura, 7th Prince Kinsky of Wchinitz and Tettau, that acted as a fire observation tower. In the night of 9 September 2005 the hut was badly damaged by a forest fire. The cost of the damage came to 200,000 Kč.</p><br>
<p>Another forest fire in the area of the Marienfelsen occurred on 22 July 2006. The hut - that had been replaced just three weeks earlier - escaped further damage.</p><br>
<p>The Kinsky family did a lot of work in the 19th century in opening up the rock landscape around Dittersbach.</p><br>
<p>The Ost Valle Bridge is a bridge near Thompson, North Dakota that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997. It crosses an unnamed tributary of the Red River, about one mile west of the Red River itself. It is "one of the two oldest documented bridges in Grand Forks County that were built by longterm county bridge builder, the Jardine & Anderson".</p><br>
<p>It was probably built in 1910, based on examining county records.</p><br>
<p>It includes Pratt through truss design/architecture.</p><br>
<p>The property was covered in a study of Historic Roadway Bridges of North Dakota.</p><br>
<p>The listing was for an area of less than one acre with just one contributing structure.</p><br>
<p>The property is also denoted as 32GF292</p><br>
<p>Cooperation Sea, also called Commonwealth Sea  or Sodruzhestvo Sea, is a proposed sea name for part of the Southern Ocean, between Enderby Land  and West Ice Shelf , off the coast of MacRobertson Land and Princess Elizabeth Land. It would stretch over an area of 258,000 km². It would be bordered by the Davis Sea on the east, and by another Russian proposal to the 2002 International Hydrographic Organization  draft, a Cosmonauts Sea to the west.</p><br>
<p>The Cooperation Sea was named in 1962 by the Soviet Antarctic Expedition in honor of international science cooperation in Antarctica. The name first appeared as a proposal to the IHO in the IHO 2002 draft. This draft was never approved by the IHO (or any other organization), and the 1953 IHO document (which does not contain the name) remains currently in force. Leading geographic authorities and atlases do not use the name, including the 2014 10th edition of the World Atlas from the United States&#39; National Geographic Society and the 2014 12th edition of the British Times Atlas of the World. But Soviet and Russian-issued maps do.</p><br>
<p>Davis Station is located on the coast near here.</p><br>
<p>Sierra de Gúdar is a mountain range in the Gúdar-Javalambre and Maestrazgo comarcas of Aragon and the Alto Mijares comarca of the Valencian Community, Spain. The highest point in the range is Peñarroya .</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>This mountain range is located at the eastern end of the Iberian System and the Sierra de Nogueruelas is its easternmost prolongation. The Sierra Mayabona is another subrange of the Sierra de Gúdar.</p><br>
<p>Its summits are usually covered in snow in the winter and the 1710 m high Cabezo de las Cruces is one of the highest peaks of the Land of Valencia.</p><br>
<p>Mora de Rubielos is the most important town in this mountainous zone.</p><br>
<p>The range is named after the town of Gúdar. Valdelinares, also a village in the area, is the highest town in Aragon.</p><br>
<p>Cosmonauts Sea, sometimes misspelled Cosmonaut Sea, was a proposed sea name as part of the Southern Ocean, off the Prince Olav Coast and Enderby Land, Antarctica, between about 30°E and 50°E. It would have an area of 699,000 km². It would be bordered by two other proposals from a 2002 International Hydrographic Organization  draft, a Cooperation Sea to the east, and to the west a Riiser-Larsen Sea.</p><br>
<p>The Cosmonauts Sea was named in 1962 by the Soviet Antarctic Expedition in honor of the world&#39;s first cosmonauts and the beginning of manned space exploration era. The name first appeared as a Russian marriage to the IHO in the IHO 2002 draft. This draft was never approved by the IHO (or any other organization), and the 1953 IHO document remains currently in force. Leading geographic authorities and atlases do not use the name, including the 2014 10th edition World Atlas from the United States&#39; National Geographic Society and the 2014 12th edition of the British Times Atlas of the World, though state-issued maps created by the Soviet Union and the Russian Federation do.</p><br>
<p>The water here is close to freezing throughout the year and is mostly covered by ice. Between 1973 and 1986, several polynyas have occurred in these waters, with the totally enclosed Cosmonaut polynya attaining a maximum size on July 25, 1980, with an open water area of as much as 137,700 km2. This polynya lasted for several weeks before disappearing on August 16, 1980.</p><br>
<p>The First National Bank is a five-story building in Grand Forks, North Dakota, that was built in 1914–15 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. It was built for the Scandinavian-American Bank, but has been identified as the First National Bank building since 1929.</p><br>
<p>When it was founded, the Scandinavian-American Bank had its offices in the Metropolitan Opera House n Grand Forks. The new bank building was constructed in 1914–15 and occupied in 1915. When the bank later obtained a charter as a national bank, it took the name Northwestern National Bank. In 1929, it merged with the First National Bank, and the combined bank located in this building. First National Bank failed in 1933, during the Great Depression, but was replaced by a new First National Bank entity that later became Alerus Financial in 2000.</p><br>
<p>The building is located on a corner lot, approximately 90 by in size, at the intersection of DeMers Avenue and North Fourth Street. It is considered an "outstanding example" of the use of Classical Revival architecture in the context of a large commercial building. The two sides that face the street have two-part facades in which the lower two stories are fronted by rusticated ashlar piers built on top of polished granite blocks and the three upper stories are faced with red brick. The top of the building is decorated with a stone cornice.</p><br>
<p>The property was included in a 1981 study of the historical resources of downtown Grand Forks. It was damaged by flooding and fire in the 1997 Red River Flood; it is the only building on the block that was not demolished as a result of flooding and fire.</p><br>
<p>The Northern Pacific Depot and Freight House is a property in Grand Forks, North Dakota, United States, that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. It was used both as a passenger station and a freight warehouse/depot.</p><br>
<p>The station was built in 1929 and includes Tudor Revival architecture. The listing was for an area of less than one acre with just one contributing building.</p><br>
<p>The listing is described in its North Dakota Cultural Resources Survey document. It is one of two "outstanding" buildings, both one story, that "represent the Tudor Revival", within the Downtown Grand Forks area whose historic resources were surveyed in 1981; the Lyons Garage is the other. Both are "done in polychrome brick of yellow and red".</p><br>
<p>Horsey Island is an island in the parish of Beaumont and Thorpe, Essex. It lies in Hamford Water and is part of the Hamford Water National Nature Reserve, co-managed by Natural England and the Essex Wildlife Trust. Permission is required to visit.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The western section of the island contains a freshwater pool surrounded by trees. At one point boats could moor here, but this is now discouraged. There are a number of oyster beds along here and the north edge of the island. In the centre of the island are a number of farm buildings. In the 19th century, a large section of land was reclaimed, with a number of sea walls constructed. Along with extensive saltings surrounding the island, this offered partial protection against flooding. At this time, Horsey Island partially connected to the neighbouring Hedge End Island; this was part of a plan to completely join the two islands together that was never completed owing to financial difficulties.</p><br>
<p>The island is linked to the mainland by a 0.66 mi causeway across a stretch of water known as the Wade, leading from the nearest village, Kirby-le-Soken, that can be walked with care at low tide. It is one of 43 (unbridged) tidal islands that can be walked to from the mainland of Great Britain.</p><br>
<h2>Settlements</h2><br>
<p>The earliest known record of Horsey Island dates from 1212, when it was known as "Horse Hey". It has been intermittently inhabited, with evidence of buildings dating back to 1536 and appearing on a map in 1594 as Horsey Illande. The local geography has meant Horsey Island has been regularly susceptible to flooding, including severe floods in 1691, 1896, 1949 and the North Sea flood of 1953. The 19th-century sea wall was destroyed by floods around 1897, and the surrounding land was abandoned.</p><br>
<p>The Wade was repaired after the 1953 flood. The farm is still in active use, thus making it one of the most easterly inhabited islands in Britain, a claim sometimes attributed to the more built-up Mersea Island further west. It remains privately owned.</p><br>
<h2>Cultural references</h2><br>
<p>The island features in Arthur Ransomes childrens novel Secret Water as "Swallow Island". The south eastern edge of the island is rich in birdlife and this inspired Paul Gallico to film the BBC&#39;s adaptation of his book The Snow Goose there.</p><br>
<p>Clayborn Temple, formerly Second Presbyterian Church, is a historic place in Memphis, Tennessee, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979 for local architectural significance. It was upgraded to national significance under Clayborn Temple in 2017 due to its role in the events of the Sanitation Workers&#39; Strike of 1968. The historic structure was sold to the A.M.E. Church in 1949, which named the building after their bishop.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1888, the congregation of Second Presbyterian Church, decided to purchase a lot on the corner of Pontotoc and Hernando for the construction of their new building. Ground was broken for the construction on February 2, 1891, and the cornerstone of the church was laid on May 14. Sunday, January 1, 1893, the church held its dedication service. All the presbyterian pastors of the city joined the congregation for the service.</p><br>
<p>The congregation moved to East Memphis and sold the building to the African Methodist Episcopal Church in 1949. Throughout the 1960s, Clayborn Temple became the city’s staging ground for the civil rights movement, particularly the organizing headquarters of the Memphis Sanitation Strike.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Built in 1891, this Romanesque Revival ecclesiastical architecture has cross gabled roofs, constructed of limestone blocks, rusticated externally with heavy timber framing members forming the roof trusses, nave ceiling with wood beams that are suspended from the roof trusses by 2 x 4 studs. It has several unique features, for instance the chancel is situated in the corner rather that the center of the sanctuary. When Second Presbyterian dedicated its new sanctuary in January 1, 1892, it was the largest church in America south of the Ohio River.</p><br>
<h2>Civil Rights Movement</h2><br>
<p>Throughout the 1960s, Clayborn Temple became the city’s staging ground for the civil rights movement. In Memphis, the link between racial and economic injustices in the city became increasingly apparent. Memphis Labor Unions had tried for years to reform Memphis Public Works policies that included discrimination, unfair working conditions, and drastically insufficient wages. The deaths of two city sanitation workers, Echol Cole and Robert Walker on February 1, 1968, united the Sanitation Workers, labor unions, religious communities, and the black middle class to work together and create a grassroots movement in Memphis.</p><br>
<p>On February 12, 1968, 1,300 Sanitation Workers went on strike from Memphis City Department of Public Works, led by T.O. Jones, a union organizer for AFSCME Local 1733, and Jerry Wurf, the national president of AFSCME. From this day forward, the strikers marched 1.3 miles each day from Clayborn Temple to City Hall. As they marched, other local organizations began to partner with them, preventing the Sanitations Workers’ families from ever going hungry. These organizations included the Mallory Knights, the Invaders, and Community On the Move for Equality (C.O.M.E.), which was a group of 150 local ministers led by Reverend James Lawson. In the middle of this struggle for justice were Clayborn Temple’s ministers. Rev. Ralph Jackson, the director of the A.M.E. Minimum Salary building next door to Clayborn, gave impassioned speeches to the supporters of the strike at Clayborn. The most consistent white supporter of the movement was Clayborn’s pastor, Rev. Malcolm Blackburn. He opened Clayborn’s offices, classrooms, and sanctuary to host the strategy meetings and community gatherings throughout the strike. In March 1968, after weeks of marching to City Hall from Clayborn Temple, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., came to Memphis in support of the sanitation workers’ efforts. He had been invited by Reverend Lawson and C.O.M.E. to shine a national spotlight on their efforts in the fight for economic justice. Dr. King and organizers of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) helped to plan a strategic march with Dr. King leading the way.</p><br>
<p>On Thursday, March 28, marchers began gathering at Clayborn Temple in anticipation of Dr. King. Nearly 15,000 marchers participated. Students from Memphis schools left the classroom to join the march. He arrived around 11:05 am, and they began the march with King and the sanitation workers, who had been marching this same path for weeks, in the front, while youths ran about throughout the march, pressing to get to the front.</p><br>
<p>After marching only half a mile, the youth’s agitation, derived from a rumor that the police had killed a Hamilton High Student earlier that morning, erupted into vandalism, looting, and rioting. The police reacted brutally to the riot, launching against both nonviolent protesters and the youth. Reverend Lawson and Reverend Jackson urged protesters to return to Clayborn Temple. The marchers retreated to Clayborn Temple, while police surrounded the building. “The interior of Clayborn looked like the aftermath of a war,” Kathy Pittman Black reported. The entire building was filled with many injured and terrified protesters. The police attacked those that tried to the leave the church with mace, tear gas, and clubs. At one point, police even entered the church, swinging clubs and shooting tear-gas canisters.</p><br>
<p>The day ended as 4,000 heavily armed National Guardsmen troops poured into the city. 280 people had been arrested during the riot, and 60 were reported injured. One sixteen-year old boy, Larry Payne died at the hands of a police officer that day, shot in the stomach after being suspected of looting. Payne’s funeral was held in Clayborn Temple on April 2, 1968, and Rev. Harold Middlebrook said, "We really felt his death was related to the movement." Despite police pressure to have a private closed-casket funeral in their home, the family held the funeral at Clayborn and had an open casket.</p><br>
<p>Dr. King was rushed back to his hotel when the strike erupted into a riot on March 28, 1968. He vowed he would return to Memphis to lead a successfully peaceful march. King returned to Memphis a week later, but was assassinated on April 4, 1968 before his second march from Clayborn took place. On April 16, a deal was finally negotiated for union recognition and better wages for the sanitation workers. The strike had come to an official end.</p><br>
<p>After King&#39;s assassination, Clayborn Temple remained a key refuge and meeting place for the Memphis Civil Rights Movement. The church was used extensively during the 1969 Black Monday protests, led by Ezekiel Bell and the NAACP. Black Mondays were designed to secure African American representation on the school board and further desegregate the public schools. In November 1969, mass meetings were held at Clayborn Temple while thousands of protesters led by Dr. King’s successor, Reverend Ralph Abernathy, marched from the church which remained the epicenter of the Black Monday demonstrations until late November when a compromise was reached, with two African Americans appointed to the school board.</p><br>
<h2>Disrepair and Restoration</h2><br>
<p>As Clayborn’s congregation began to grow smaller and smaller, the upkeep of the magnificent building was hard to manage. Eventually, though, the congregation moved from Clayborn, and it was left vacant by the AME for over a decade.</p><br>
<p>Having been vacant for a number of years, a group of Memphians began the process of rehabilitating the church in October 2015.</p><br>
<p>House Mountain is a shield volcano located in the USA state of Arizona located between the Sedona Red Rock Country and the Verde Valley in the Coconino National Forest. House Mountain erupted approximately 13-15 million years ago on the edge of where the Mogollon Rim stood at that time. Thus, the basalt that was emitted preserved the sedimentary layers below it, including the Schnebly Hill Formation and the thin band of Fort Apache Limestone. The Mogollon Rim has receded at a rate of 1 foot per 600 years since and the current edge of the rim can be seen several miles away from the summit.</p><br>
<p>House Mountain is easily visible from State Route 89A as you drive from Sedona and Cottonwood. Turkey Creek Trail climbs for 3 miles up to the northern rim of the caldera. From there you can follow an old Jeep trail road down into the bowl of the caldera and up to the southern rim. Then, it is a steep, but short trek off trail to the summit. It was named House Mountain because of the rocky summit formation that superficially looks like a house from the Verde Valley below.</p><br>
<p>The Pfaffenstein, formerly called the Jungfernstein, is a table hill, 434.6 m above sea level, in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains in Saxony. It lies west of the River Elbe near Königstein and is also referred to as "Saxon Switzerland in miniature" on account of its diverse structure.</p><br>
<p>The wild, jagged mountain with its numerous caves reveals traces of Stone and Bronze Age settlement and was later used frequently as a place of refuge during times of crisis as a result of its poor accessibility. Since the 19th century the Pfaffenstein has been developed for touristic purposes. The hill now boasts an inn, an observation tower, several viewing points and other places of interest on the mountain.</p><br>
<p>Since the early 20th century the massif of the Pfaffenstein has been used for rock climbing and, with its 32 rocks, is one of the most important climbing areas in Saxon Switzerland. The best-known rock and symbol of the Pfaffenstein is the Barbarine, a 43 m rock pinnacle, that has been placed out of bounds to climbers since 1975 due to serious erosion damage.</p><br>
<h2>Location and area</h2><br>
<p>The Pfaffenstein lies about 2 km south of the village of Pfaffendorf in the borough of Königstein. Another nearby settlement is Cunnersdorf about 3 km southeast. Its nearest neighbour is the 349.6 m Quirl to the northwest, another table hill.</p><br>
<p>To the south, the mountain is surrounded by woods that drop away to the stream of Cunnersdorfer Bach. Around the northern part of the Pfaffenstein the land is predominantly used for agriculture.</p><br>
<p>The mountain looks like an elongated summit plateau running north-to-south for about 1 km, with a width of up to 400 m from west-to-east. It has an area of some twelve hectares and rises about 100 m above the surrounding countryside. The actual summit lies in the southern part of the plateau. The edge of the Pfaffenstein is formed by rugged and heavily fissured sandstone rocks. There are numerous isolated rock formations around the main massif, the best-known being the Barbarine on the southern tip of the Pfaffenstein. Other significant rock pinnacles are the Königspitze, the Förster, the Bundesfels, the Rauhe Zinne, the Jäckelfels, the Pfaffenschluchtspitzen, the Peterskirche and the Einsiedler.</p><br>
<h2>Origin of the name and legends</h2><br>
<p>The name Pfaffenstein is very probably derived from the nearby village of Pfaffendorf. This settlement in the borough of Königstein was given its name because its inhabitants paid taxes to the church at Königstein in the Middle Ages, as evinced by the first mention of the village&#39;s name in the records in 1437. Its old name of Jungfernstein ("Virgin Rock") comes from a legend about the origin of the Barbarine rock pinnacle, according to which a woman sent her daughter to church on Sundays. However, when she caught her picking bilberries on the Pfaffenstein instead, the mother cursed her daughter, turning her to stone.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Early history</h3><br>
<p>The plateau of the Pfaffenstein had already been settled by about 3,000 years ago. Archaeological excavations unearthed both Stone Age and Bronze Age artefacts of the Lusatian Culture. On the plateau, near the present hilltop inn, various stone flat axes, clay vessels, a grinding stone and the site of a hearth came to light during digs from 1896 to 1912. In 1921 the innkeeper, Richard Keiler, found two bronze bangles. Other excavations were carried out on the plateau in 1967; they confirmed the settlement as being part of the Lusatian Culture. The diggers found more ceramic artefacts and a whetstone.</p><br>
<p>The site was probably one of the oldest fortifications of the Lusatian Culture.</p><br>
<p>The only prehistoric relic still visible today is the semi-circular rampart, also dating to the Bronze Age, on the western side of the Pfaffenstein near the Bequemer Aufstieg trail. The 200 m embankment probably guarded the only entrance to the plateau and was surrounded by a ditch. Archaeological investigations in 1959 and 1961 estimated its age at about 3,000 years. More pieces of ceramic were discovered inside the rampart.</p><br>
<h3>Early Modern Era</h3><br>
<p>The Pfaffenstein was first mentioned in the records in 1548: the official probate register of Pirna recording in that year the right of Pfaffendorf farmers to use the Pfaffenstein for grazing and wood gathering. The Pfaffenstein was also used in times of war by the villagers of Pfaffendorf as a refuge and hideaway for their cattle. During the Swedish invasion of 1706 a small hut was erected on the mountain for the Königstein senior forester. The local farmers last used the hill as a place of concealment during wartime in 1813, in this case the War of the Sixth Coalition against Napoleon. However, apart from wartime, the Pfaffenstein had few visitors and those were mainly the electorate&#39;s appointed hunters who are probably responsible for the dates "1702" and "1714" scrawled in the Schwedenkeller and on the Bequemer Aufstieg.</p><br>
<p>On the eastern side of the hill a large rock face collapsed in 1838. One of the piles of rubble at the foot of the cliff is the present-day climbing area of Klamotte. The resulting fresh rock face is visible a long way off and is called the Weiße Wand ("White Wall") on account of its light-coloured, relatively unweathered surface.</p><br>
<h3>First tourist activity in the 19th century</h3><br>
<p>Carl Gottlob Jäckel (1803–1882) pioneered the exploitation of the Pfaffenstein for tourism in modern times. His good local knowledge made him a trusted tour guide and the locals referred to him as the "Mountain Spirit of the Pfaffenstein" (Berggeist vom Pfaffenstein) or the Rübezahl of the Pfaffenstein. He planned and led the establishment of the first trails and rediscovered the Kuhstall Cave. In 1881 a marble medallion was placed on the Jäckelfels, a crag named in his honour. The medallion has a life-sized head and shoulders relief with the inscription "The explorer and guardian of the Pfaffenstein, Mr. Karl Gottlob Jäckel honoured by the Fatherland. Alpine Club of Saxonia on 2 October 1881".</p><br>
<p>In 1852, at Jäckel&#39;s instigation, Carl Gottlieb Kliemann from Pfaffendorf established the first, small inn on the hill in a cattle stall. Kliemann also blazed the first trails to various viewing points and notable rock formations.</p><br>
<p>Supported by his brother-in-law Kliemann, probably out of self-interest, Friedrich Eduard Goldschmidt, a lithographer and counterfeiter who had escaped from prison in Königstein on the night of 27 September 1854, forged Anhalt-Dessau five gulden notes in a cave near the cattle hut. It is commonly assumed that it was the cave that now bears his name, Goldschmidt Cave, however, it is possible that he hid in the rather drier Falken Cave. Another theory is that he only went to the cave during the day, but used to stay overnight in his brother-in-law&#39;s hut. Goldschmidt was arrested in Dresden at the end of November 1854. A court sentenced Goldschmidt, his brother-in-law Kliemann and other accomplices to jail; the Kliemann inn was then demolished.</p><br>
<p>In the time that followed, the hill was gradually made more accessible. An unknown visitor in 1863 had a stone bench hewn out of a rock. In 1878/1879 Carl Gottlob Jäckel established the first relatively accessible trail roughly along the line of the present day Bequemer Aufstieg. In order to be able to cater for visitors, in 1880 Paul Ulbrich, the innkeeper of the Pfaffendorf Inn, built a new summer restaurant on the site of the old hut, once again at the suggestion of Jäckel. It was replaced in 1891 by a stone building on the site of the present hilltop restaurant.</p><br>
<h3>Fundamental changes around 1900</h3><br>
<p>The Widow Ulbrich sold the inn in 1895 to the Keiler family, who ran it for three generations until 1990. Hermann Keiler extended the inn between 1897 and 1904, giving it its present appearance. Until 1912 everything had to be laboriously carried up the hill, as a result it was decided to build a material lift which is still working today.</p><br>
<p>Hermann Keiler, who had already purchased three plots of land on the hill, originally rented land from several other owners of the hill in order to offer visitors access to the rock formations. Finally he and his son bought as many of the plots as possible, so that the family ended up owning eleven of the twelve hectares of the plateau.</p><br>
<p>The first wooden observation tower was inaugurated on 2 September 1894 and offered a comprehensive all-round view from the Pfaffenstein, unimpeded by trees. Its construction was funded by the widow, Mrs Ulbrich. Because the tower had become dilapidated, the new tenant, Hermann Keiler, had it torn down in 1904 and replaced by a new structure made of sandstone. Under the direction of master builder Naumann from Königstein the new tower was ready by the spring. The requisite stone was cut on the site during the winter; all other materials, such as limestone, roof slates, windows and doors had to be painstakingly carried up the hill. On 7 August 1904 the 29 m tower was consecrated by the priest, Hoyer, from Königstein.</p><br>
<p>To improve access, the Nadelöhr was opened in 1897. About the same time the hill began to be used for recreational climbing, the most important steps being the first ascents of the Nordturm in 1900 and the Barbarine in 1905. Another easy trail up to the Pfaffenstein, the Klammweg, was blazed in 1913. An indication of the popularity of the hill was the visit in 1915 of the Saxon king, Frederick Augustus III, who climbed the Pfaffenstein with his daughters and stopped by at the hilltop inn.</p><br>
<h3>20th century</h3><br>
<p>After being damaged by a lightning strike in 1944 and suffering badly from the resulting erosion, the head of the Barbarine had to be reinforced more than once. Since 1975 it has been out of bounds to climbers, in order to preserve the rock.</p><br>
<p>In 1992 the state of Saxony purchased the land on the Pfaffenstein from the Keiler family for 2.9 million DM for the Saxon Switzerland Conservation Association. In 1993 the inn also went into the ownership of the association. The observation tower was reopened again in 1995 after renovation.</p><br>
<p>On 26 June 1997 the nature reserve created in 1990 was further extended. Several places of interest may now only be accessed for sport climbing, including the Dom, the Königsgarten and the Nasse Schlucht.</p><br>
<p>Trinidad Head  is a rocky promontory surrounded by sea stacks sheltering Trinidad Harbor, adjacent to the town of Trinidad in Humboldt County, California, USA, designated as California Historical Landmark #146.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>On 9 June 1775, two Spanish Naval explorers, Bruno de Heceta and Juan Francisco de la Bodega y Quadra anchored in Trinidad Bay. Two days later, on Trinity Sunday, 11 June 1775, Trinidad Head was claimed for Spain in the name of Charles III by Heceta, his men and two Franciscan fathers who erected a cross on the summit. When Sebastian Rodriguez Cermeno, Captain of the Portuguese ship "San Augustin," discovered and entered the Trinidad Bay in November of 1595, he did not anchor for fear of hitting submerged rocks. Over the next 75 years, Spanish, Russian and British ships landed at Trinidad Head for sea otters, fresh water and refuge from storms.</p><br>
<p>The harbor and Trinidad Head were mapped as part of A.D. Bache&#39;s United States Coast Survey under the direction of Lieutenant Commander William P. McArthur.</p><br>
<h2>Geology</h2><br>
<p>Trinidad Head is composed of metamorphosed gabbro embedded in the surrounding Franciscan melange, topped with Pleistocene sands and gravels.</p><br>
<h2>Observatories</h2><br>
<p>The Trinidad Head Lighthouse was built 1871 and remains in operation.</p><br>
<p>Trinidad Head Observatory of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration began operation in 2002, monitoring regional and global meteorology.</p><br>
<p>NASA&#39;s Advanced Global Atmospheric Gases Experiment began on Trinidad Head in 1995 and was updated to a system which can measure more than 40 trace gases in May 2005.</p><br>
<p>The Cardó Massif , also known as Cardó-Boix Massif, is a mountain massif in the Baix Ebre comarca, in Catalonia, Spain. This massif is composed of a number of mountain ranges located on the left side of the Ebro river near Tortosa. The massive calcareous cliffs of the Serra de Cardó form the eastern side of the spectacular gorges through which the Ebro River winds its way in the final stage of its course, separating the Ebro Valley from the Mediterranean coastal area.</p><br>
<p>The ranges cover an area of over 340 square kilometers, extending from Rasquera in the north, to Benifallet in the south and eastwards through El Perelló until reaching the Mediterranean Sea between LAmpolla and LAmetlla de Mar. Highway N-340 crosses the eastern side of the massif and Autopista AP-7 skirts the easternmost foothills by the seashore.</p><br>
<p>All the ranges are part of the Catalan Pre-Coastal Range. The main peak is Xàquera, also known as La Creu de Santos (942 m) in the Serra de Cardó, another important summit is Buinaca (764 m), located in the Serra del Boix.</p><br>
<p>Balma de Cabrafeixet is a prehistoric site below the Morral de Cabrafeixet escarpment (753 m) with cave paintings. The entrance to the cave has been closed with an iron bar door to prevent vandalism. Another cave, Cova de la Mallada, is located nearby</p><br>
<p>There are many wind turbines located on different ridges of the massif, the Parc Eòlic de les Colladetes and the Parc Eòlic de les Calobres.</p><br>
<h2>Ranges</h2><br>
<p>The main ranges of the massif are:</p><br>
<p>Serra de Cardó, the westernmost range and also the highest. It is often covered with snow in the winter. The eastern slopes are covered with low Mediterranean shrub, while its western side, below the jagged peaks, is forested. Autovia C-12 cuts across the westernmost end of the range, above the Ebro Gorges. The mineral water coming from springs near the ancient monastery located at the heart of the range was one of the first waters to be bottled in Spain.</p><br>
<p>Serra del Boix, highest point Buinaca 764 m. The slopes are covered with low bush, among which Buxus (Boix) predominates. This range occupies a central position in the massif and in some geographical works gives its name to the whole massif. The particular high rocky area with original rock formations where the highest peaks are located is known as "Les Moles". There are wind turbines atop the main eastern ridge.</p><br>
<p>Serra de Gaviots, highest point 603 m. This largely deforested range also occupies a central position, but has smoother and less rocky crests than the ones above. There is also a very large wind farm along the ridge. Like the Serra del Boix, the higher altitudes often have snow in the winter.</p><br>
<p>Montaspre, highest point 527 m, the southwestern foothills of the Serra de Cardó range, rising near Bítem.</p><br>
<p>Serra de Collredó, highest point Creu de Collredó 380 m, rounded hills covered by olive trees and Mediterranean forest where many small country cottages have been recently developed.</p><br>
<p>Serra de les Veles, highest point Coll de l&#39;Àliga 94 m, is formed by the low southernmost foothills of the massif. This small range is crossed by highways and has been gutted by sand and gravel extraction, where the pits are used as landfills. These lower ranges very rarely have snow, even in cold winters.</p><br>
<h2>Monastery</h2><br>
<p>The Cardó Monastery, also known as Sant Hilari de Cardó or Desert de Cardó, was a large monastery located in the Cardó Valley (Vall de Cardó), a deep valley in these mountains. It was closed down due to the Ecclesiastical Confiscations of Mendizábal in 1835 during Isabella II of Spain&#39;s rule. The Desamortización or secularization of the place brought monastic life in the monastery, and the many hermitages surrounding it, to an end. The monastery can be reached by a paved road from Rasquera.</p><br>
<p>In the late 19th century the monastery was transformed into a spa, which became a very successful place among the Catalan elite until the Spanish Civil War. By mid 20th century, only a water bottling plant was functional in the area.</p><br>
<p>Recently there was a project to transform the ruined former monastery and spa premises into a luxury resort, but the current financial crisis in Spain thwarted the plans. Access is not allowed to the grounds of the former spa, but abandoned construction equipment can be seen from a distance among the half-ruined buildings.</p><br>
<p>The small abandoned hermitages scattered about the area close to the former monastery, some of them perching atop karstic rock needles, are popular with hikers.</p><br>
<p>Grand Forks County Courthouse is a Beaux Arts style building in Grand Forks, North Dakota that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. It is a "richly decorated white limestone structure in a modified Classical Revival style, topped with a massive cast iron dome."</p><br>
<p>It was built during 1913–1914. It was designed by Minnesota architects Buechner & Orth. The courthouse is identified as the largest and most expensive of 13 county courthouses in North Dakota designed by Buechner and Orth during 1905–1919. (main body of document, not including selected pages)</p><br>
<p>Considerable additional detail on the building is provided in its NRHP nomination document. (pages 7.8 and 7.9 of TR study) and The NRHP listing was for just the one contributing building, with no specific property area identified.</p><br>
<p>Grand Forks County Fairgrounds WPA Structures is a collection of five structures within the Grand Forks County Fairgrounds in Grand Forks, North Dakota, that were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.</p><br>
<p>The structures are the fairgrounds entrance gate, ticket kiosk, administration building, and cairns, all built from stone, as well as the fairgrounds grandstand. They are located on the grounds of the Grand Forks State Fair Grounds and are associated with the River Cities Speedway. "The five remaining structures have been recognized as historically significant, examples of the importance of county and state fairs to local culture and social history."</p><br>
<p>The structures were built between 1936 and 1939 by the Works Progress Administration (WPA). USA President Franklin D. Roosevelt attended the 1937 dedication ceremony for the Grand Forks County Fairgrounds grandstand, which was designed by Grand Forks architect Theodore B. Wells and was considered to be innovative in its design.</p><br>
<p>Steve C. Martens, an architect and North Dakota State University professor, wrote the NRHP nomination. He commented extensively at a public hearing describing the importance of the structures. According to Martens, the project was the largest WPA project in the state.</p><br>
<p>In 2009 the listed structures included three contributing buildings, one contributing structure, and one contributing object. The nominated listing covers an area of 51 acre. The listing is described as including Art Deco and WPA Rustic Fieldstone architecture. and</p><br>

<p>The Quirl is a low table hill, 349 metres high, in Saxon Switzerland, west of the River Elbe.</p><br>
<h2>Location and area</h2><br>
<p>The Quirl rises about two kilometres south of Königstein in the so-called Land of Stones (Gebiet der Steine), part of Saxon Switzerland in which table hills (Tafelberge or Steine) are characteristic. In the immediate neighbourhood are the hills of Pfaffenstein and Königstein.</p><br>
<p>On the northern side of the Quirl is a large bedding cave, the Diebskeller ("Thieves&#39; Cellar").</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Until around 1800 there were fields on the Quirl that belonged to the hereditary enfeoffed estate of Pfaffendorf. Later the Quirl was placed out of bounds to the public due to its proximity to Königstein Fortress and the fields were abandoned.</p><br>
<p>During the Austro-Prussian War of 1866 the old footpath to the summit plateau was blown up so that Prussian troops there could not emplace their guns there.</p><br>
<h2>Geology</h2><br>
<p>The Quirl consists of sandstones of stage c, which are classified in the middle Turonian age of the Cretaceous in the geological time scale. In more recent publications these sandstones are also called Postelwitz Strata (Postelwitzer Schichten). The summit plateau corresponds to intermediate stratum γ3. The bedding caves on the north side of the Quirl are in the lightly weathered intermediate stratum γ2.</p><br>
<h2>Ascents</h2><br>
<p>The best base for a visit to the Quirl is the town of Königstein. There a hiking trail, marked with a red dot runs around the Quirl an on to the neighbouring Pfaffenstein. An unmarked, but signposted branch, the Kanonenweg enables the summit plateau to be reached easily. Other unmarked ascents are located near the Diebskeller on the north side.</p><br>

<p>Bouqras is a large, oval shaped, prehistoric, Neolithic Tell, about 5 hectare in size, located around 35 km from Deir ez-Zor in Syria.</p><br>
<h2>Excavation</h2><br>
<p>The tell was discovered in 1960 by Dutch Geomorphologist, Willem van Liere. It was excavated between 1960 and 1965 by Henri de Contenson and van Liere and later between 1976 and 1978 by Peter Akkermanns, Maurits van Loon, J. J. Roodenberg and H. T. Waterbolk.</p><br>
<h2>Construction</h2><br>
<p>The mound was found to be approximately 4.5 m deep and showed evidence of 11 periods of occupation spread over at least 1000 years between ca. 7400 and 6200 BC. The earliest levels, 11 to 8, showed early Neolithic aceramic occupation developing on to stages with pottery in levels 7 to 1, from which over 7000 sherds were recovered. Material from later levels was visible on the surface when first discovered.</p><br>
<h2>Culture</h2><br>
<p>Bouqras seems to have developed in comparative isolation with few other settlements near the area. Interiors of the buildings featured white plastered walls with occasional use of red ochre for decoration with some images of birds. By later stages of the settlement, it was likely inhabited by as many as 700 to 1000 villagers. Flints were usually of a fine dark grey or brown type found locally.</p><br>
<h2>Agriculture and animal domestication</h2><br>
<p>Paleobotanical studies were carried out by Willem van Zeist on carbonized plant remains recovered via water floatation. This has shown rain fed agriculture was practiced at Bouqras including cultivation of Emmer, Einkorn and free-threshing wheat, naked and hulled barley, peas and lentils. Sickle blades, querns and pounders appear in the early stages at Bouqras, but not in later stages. White Ware was found suggested to have been used as basket covering to make them impermeable.</p><br>
<p>Sheep and goat comprised approximately 80% of the 5800 identifiable fragments of animal remains found. Other fauna included pigs and cattle, the domestication of which is uncertain. Deer, gazelle and onager were also hunted.</p><br>
<p>The Montcalm Massif  is a mountain massif located in the Pyrenees, at the border between France and Spain, it has an altitude of 3077 metres above sea level.</p><br>
<p>Some of the summits are over 3,000 m high and the highest mountain in Catalonia (Pica d&#39;Estats), as well as the highest mountain in Ariège (Pic de Montcalm), are part of this massif.</p><br>
<h2>Protected areas</h2><br>
<p>The Parc naturel régional des Pyrénées ariégeoises is located on the French side of the massif area and the Parc Natural de l&#39;Alt Pirineu on the Spanish side.</p><br>
<p>Climbing some of the summits is not easy and there have been occasional accidents involving overconfident mountaineers.</p><br>
<p>The Estany de Canalbona or Estanyol Occidental de Canalbona is a pristine glacial lake located in the Montcalm Massif between the Pic de Canalbona and the Rodó de Canalbona, at the base of the "Collet Fals" near the "Pica d&#39;Estats". The lake drains towards the Catalan side. The lake stays frozen most of the year, but the ice is usually totally melted at the end of the summer.</p><br>
<h2>Summits</h2><br>
<p>Some of the main summits are:</p><br>
<p>Pica d&#39;Estats, 3143 m</p><br>
<p>Pic de Montcalm, 3077 m</p><br>
<p>Pic de Sotllo or Pic du port de Sullo, 3072 m</p><br>
<p>Pic Verdaguer, 3131 m</p><br>
<p>Punta Gabarro, 3115 m</p><br>
<p>Rodo de Canalbona, 3004 m</p><br>
<p>Pic de Canalbona, 2965 m</p><br>
<p>Castle Apartments was a historic apartment building in Albuquerque, New Mexico, United States, which was destroyed by fire in 2009. It was located on the southeast corner of 15th Street and Central Avenue, roughly halfway between Downtown and Old Town.</p><br>
<p>Built in 1922, it was a two-story, U-shaped building with a central courtyard and 20 residential units ranging in size from 600 to 750 square feet. The name came from the Huning Castle mansion, which originally stood on the other side of 15th Street. The Castle Apartments were added to the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties in 1985 and the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<h2>Fire and aftermath</h2><br>
<p>The Castle Apartments fire began around 8 pm on August 4, 2009, and quickly spread throughout the entire building via the shared attic space. Thirteen fire trucks and around 50 firefighters responded to the scene, fighting the blaze for nearly a full day before it was extinguished. No one was injured in the fire, but the historic apartments were gutted.</p><br>
<p>The building&#39;s owners initially expressed optimism that it could be restored, but were unable to find a financially viable means of doing so. Eventually, the burned-out structure was demolished in July 2010.</p><br>
<p>Televised footage of the fire was used by AMC&#39;s Albuquerque-based television series Breaking Bad to represent the crash of airliner Wayfarer 515 (season 3, episode 1, "No Más").</p><br>
<p>The Cottaer Spitzberg is a 390.8 m high basalt dome on the western edge of Saxon Switzerland. Since 1979 the hill has been a protected area due to its geological and botanical features.</p><br>
<h2>Location and area</h2><br>
<p>The hill, which was once also known Cottaer Spitze, is located on the plateau between the valleys of the Gottleuba to the east and the Bahre to the west. It rises above the village of Cotta at its northern foot as well as the local area by at least 70 metres and forms a clear landmark in the countryside.</p><br>
<h2>Geology</h2><br>
<p>The Cottaer Spitzberg was formed as a result of the Tertiary breakthrough of basalt through the Cretaceous sandstone sediments of the Elbe Sandstone Mountains. In geological region that is composed largely of sandstone, granite and gneiss the hill is very much a geological exception.</p><br>
<p>The hill is one of a line of volcanic inselbergs of which the Stolpener Burgberg, the Wilisch and the Geising are the best-known. On the rocky summit of the Spitzberg, the grey and black columns of the trachyte basalt are exposed. They are each around 30 centimetres thick, rising almost vertically and were intensively quarried in the 19th century by a quarry company. Only a remnant of the summit remains, because a triangulation column of the central European meridian arc and Saxon State Survey Office had been erected on it in 1865.</p><br>
<h2>Botanical features</h2><br>
<p>The Cottaer Spitzberg is also a significant area for botany, although the quarry has reduced the variety of local plants. Species like the Sword-leaved Helleborine, the Large Pink or the Bristly Bellflower are amongst the species that used to grow here but no longer occur. In spite of that the Spitzberg continues to be a botanically interesting habitat. On the northern side there is an oak and hornbeam wood (including Small-leaved Lime, Norway Maple, Sycamore Maple and Ash) interspersed with species like the lungworts. In addition the sun-exposed hill is also home to several warmth-loving plants like the Crown Vetch and the Hoary Cinquefoil.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>At the beginning of the 1960s in the heyday of the Cold War a small bunker system was built on the eastern side of the hill. This was intended to be the emergency command post for the district of Pirna in the event of a nuclear attack on Dresden. On the western side facing Dresden an observation post was erected.</p><br>
<h2>Views</h2><br>
<p>The Cottaer Spitzberg has long been a popular destination because, on the top of the treeless basalt summit, there is a panoramic all-round view, only restricted closer in. In clear conditions the views extend as far as:</p><br>
<p>North: over Pirna to the Lusatian Highlands,</p><br>
<p>Northwest: over the Dresden Basin,</p><br>
<p>West and south: over the Elbe Valley Slate Mountains to the crest of the Eastern Ore Mountains,</p><br>
<p>East: over the Gottleuba valley to the table mountains of Saxon Switzerland and the volcanic cone of the Central Bohemian Uplands.</p><br>

<p>The Frienstein, also called the Vorderes Raubschloss, is a rock formation, about 130 metres high, in Saxon Switzerland. It lies on the northern slopes of the Großer Winterberg in the Affensteine rocks. On the rock there was once a watchtower of the Barony of Wildenstein. Today the Frienstein is a popular climbing peak.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Around 1410 a watchtower was erected on the Frienstein as a signal station by the Barony of Wildenstein that was owned by the family of Berka z Dubé. By this means it was possible for Frienstein to make contact with the surrounding watchtowers on the Winterstein, the Neuer Wildenstein and the Alter Wildenstein. In 1451 the Frienstein together with the rest of the barony went to the House of Wettin and thus to the Electorate of Saxony. In the period that followed, robber knights lodged on the Frienstein, even in 1479 one of their workers conceded that "item near Frienstein is a trap..., where those who are caught are tormented" (item beym Freynstein ist eyn loch..., do man die gefangen eynfurt zu peynigen). On the first cartographic record in Saxony, a map dating to 1592 by Matthias Oeder, the rock is marked as Freystein.</p><br>
<p>On the present-day climbing route called the Alter Weg ("Old Way") one can still see the rebates and steps cut out of the rock that were once used to climb it. Even on the summit area there are traces of the watchtower in the shape of rebates for anchoring a wooden observation post.</p><br>
<p>On the eastern side at the foot of the rock is the Ida Grotto (Idagrotte), a large crevice and bedding cave, that is nowadays a popular destination. It can only be reached over a narrow band of rock. In the grotto there are still traces of its medieval use as a living area.</p><br>
<p>Because of its size and the fact that it is easy to get to, the Ida Grotto is a popular goal for Boofers, a Saxon term for hikers who sleep out in the open. However, in recent years, there have been repeated cases of hikers who have fallen and been seriously injured or killed as a result of being intoxicated with alcohol.</p><br>
<h2>Climbing peak</h2><br>
<p>The Frienstein is a popular climbing peak in the Saxon Switzerland Climbing Region, but its summit is not accessible to hikers and walkers. The first recreational ascent of the peak took place in 1873, although it had been conquered before with the help of artificial aids. The route known today as the Alter Weg is classified as climbing grade III. There are also more difficult routes of up to grade XIb. Climbing history was written on the Königshangel when grade IX was reached for the first time in Saxon Switzerland. In 1965 it was successful climbed for the first time by Fritz Eske, after several unsuccessful attempts by other noteworthy climbers.</p><br>
<p>Qdeir is a prehistoric, Neolithic Tell and plateau in the El Kowm oasis, a 20 km gap in the Syrian mountains that houses a series of archaeological sites. It is located northeast of Palmyra in Syria, near Al-Sukhnah.</p><br>
<h2>Excavation</h2><br>
<p>The site was tested in 1980 by Olivier Aurenche and Marie-Claire Cauvin, with further excavations between 1989 and 1993 by Danielle Stordeur that are ongoing under Frédéric Abbès. Rectangular buildings with plastered floors and White Ware were found along with various arrowheads, sickle blades and a "desert burin". The collection found at the site has been referred to as a special "desert facies" of PPNB flints.</p><br>
<h2>Culture</h2><br>
<p>The inhabitants of Qdeir are thought to have been nomadic pastoralists who were only part-time farmers from a later Neolithic tradition in comparison to the agriculturalist inhabitants of the village sites of El Kowm. Evidence suggests the location was used as a campsite with only short term occupations deduced from scatters of surface finds. The relationship between the two contemporaneous groups of inhabitants of the area and their behaviors have been discussed by the excavators, who highlight similar construction techniques, use of plaster and basket making. Obsidian, rare stones, stoneware vessels and shells used by both groups also originate from the same places.</p><br>

<p>The Rauenstein is a table hill in Saxon Switzerland in Germany. It rises west of the Elbe inside the Elbe loop near Rathen. It has a height of 304 m and drops steeply to the north into the Elbe valley. It has a deeply incised structure and is about 600 m long and 200 m wide. It thus rises almost 100 m over the surrounding area. The Rauenstein is almost completely wooded, but has several dominant sandstone rock faces. The sandstone here is very soft and heavily weathered.</p><br>
<h2>Location and area</h2><br>
<p>On the eastern side is the village of Weißig in the borough of Struppen. On the north and east side there are various climbing towers, the best known being the 18 metre high Nonne or Nonnenstein, that is situated 200 metres from the eastern side of the Rauenstein. The rock was the site of a medieval watchtower (Burgwarte).</p><br>
<p>At the southeastern end of the Rauenstein is a hill restaurant that has been there since 1893. Before that, from 1886 to 1893, drinks were sold in the Kapp Cave (Kapphöhle), also the Kappmeyer or Kamm Cave, on the summit plateau. One year earlier the touristic development of the Rauenstein had been started by the Dresden Branch of the Mountain Club.</p><br>
<h2>Views</h2><br>
<p>From the viewing point at the hill restaurant there is a panoramic view of Lilienstein and the village of Weißig.</p><br>
<p>Forest Park is a Victorian garden district located in Springfield, Massachusetts, developed between 1880 and 1920. It is the citys most populous neighborhood, and surrounds the 735-acre Frederick Law Olmsted-designed Forest Park, for which the neighborhood is named. The Forest Park neighborhood has nature and recreation within walking distance. It begins one mile south of Metro Center and in terms of land area, it is the second largest of the citys seventeen neighborhoods. It contains 2,103 acres of land, 41% of which is conservation or parkland. Its boundaries are the Mill River and Lake Massasoit to the north; Longmeadow, Massachusetts to the south; the Connecticut River to the west; and the Highland Division Railroad to the east. To the west, I-91 separates Forest Park from the Connecticut River. A 195-acre section of the neighborhood was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 as the Forest Park Heights Historic District.</p><br>
<p>The 600-house Forest Park Heights Historic District was developed between 1890 and 1910, and includes gracious Colonial Revival, Tudor Revival, Queen Anne, and Shingle Style homes. This neighborhood was named one of the Northeast&#39;s "Best Old House Neighborhoods" by This Old House in 2010. East of the park is the Trafton Road area with Colonials and Tudors dating from the 1920s. Further east in this tree-filled neighborhood are pockets of American Craftsman style houses and more Colonials.</p><br>
<p>Within the park for which the neighborhood is named are a zoo, walking and hiking trails, promenades, playgrounds, lakes and ponds, a formal rose garden, the Barney Carriage House, sculptures, baseball diamonds, basketball courts, tennis courts, bocce courts, lawn bowling fields, and a hockey arena, Cyr Arena. During the winter holiday season, the park features a lighting display, Bright Nights, a 2.6-mile trail of large, intricate, animated lighting displays. The 18-hole Franconia Municipal Golf Course is also in the neighborhood.</p><br>
<p>Georgetown, on the Longmeadow town line, is the neighborhood&#39;s largest condominium complex, and there are smaller condo complexes in the area.</p><br>
<p>Forest Park also contains a branch library, the Jewish Community Center, and a commercial district known as the "X," at the intersection of Sumner Avenue, Belmont Avenue, and Dickinson Street.</p><br>
<p>Memorial Square is a neighborhood located in the northwest corner of Springfield, Massachusetts. Memorial Square is geographically one of the smallest of the city&#39;s seventeen neighborhoods. It contains 274 acres, plus street and railroads. Its boundaries are the B & M Railroad to the west; the Chicopee city line to the north; Chestnut, Narragansett, and Bartlett Streets to the east; and Interstate 291 to the south.</p><br>
<p>A predominately Puerto Rican and neighborhood with several parks, Memorial Square is within walking distance to Springfields three nationally ranked hospitals, Baystate Medical Center, Shriners Childrens Hospital, and Mercy Medical.</p><br>
<p>Always a neighborhood of immigrants, Memorial Square was a primarily Greek neighborhood from the Industrial Revolution until the Great Latino Immigration of the 1980s-present. The architecturally brilliant St. Georges Greek Orthodox Cathedral, founded in 1907, built in 1940, is a testament to Memorial Squares past as a vibrant Greek enclave.</p><br>
<p>A portion of the neighborhood was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.</p><br>
<p>Munhata  is an archaeological site 11 km south of Lake Tiberias, Israel on the north bank and near the outlet of Nahal Tavor  on a terrace 215 m below sea level.</p><br>
<h2>Excavations</h2><br>
<p>The area of 2,000 m&sup2; in the Jordan Valley was first excavated in 1962 by Jean Perrot. The deposits on site were 3 m deep and divided up into six distinct layers of occupation. These have been divided into PPNB aceramic during levels six to three, with later Neolithic and Chalcolithic, Yarmukian and Wadi Rabah cultures in levels two and one.</p><br>
<h2>Construction</h2><br>
<p>Buildings in the earlier stages had stone, paved or plastered floors made of mud bricks on stone foundations with remains of hearths and other stone structures. The north walls of buildings contained a plastered niche, a feature found in a similar room in Jericho. The Yarmoukian phase continued with round buildings which developed into rectangular ones in the Rabah phase. A major break in settlement was detected between levels three and two, where the early levels were covered over with sandy soil.</p><br>
<h2>Culture</h2><br>
<p>Various flint tools and arrowheads were recovered from the site. Arrowheads had distinctive tangs (some barbed) with wings and pointed shoulders, some were diamond or leaf shaped and a few were notched. Finely denticulated sickle blades were found in large numbers with other tools including end scrapers, blades, burins and borers. One piece of obsidian was found in level six that originated from the same place as a piece from El Khiam. Grinding tools were also found including pestle and mortars of basalt or limestone, polishers, rubbers and grooved stones. Stoneware vessels were found along with a few greenstone beads. The site was also notable for finds of clay figurines of males, females and animals.</p><br>
<h2>Dating</h2><br>
<p>Radio-carbon dating of the site had large stated errors due to problematic dating materials but gave dates between ca. 7210 and 5420 BC. These provide a vague suggestion of the age of the site. Typological comparisons have been made of various artifacts highlighting a certain regional variation with more elaborate design arrowheads and less pressure flaking. This equates generally with the PPNB stages of Jericho and Beidha suggesting that occupations overlapped with these sites and a date of occupation during the middle and late 7th millennium BC.</p><br>

<p>The Prairie Creek Fish Hatchery near Orick, Humboldt County, California was one of the first small local fish hatcheries developed to improve the area’s sport and commercial fishing, and is one of only three remaining hatcheries built in California from 1871 to 1946.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>During a survey of north coast streams in 1927, coast cutthroat trout eggs were discovered on Lost Man Creek above the confluence with Prairie Creek. About a year later, traps and a temporary hatchery were built. By the spring of 1928, they had 30 troughs for the 208,000 Coho salmon and 1,400,000 steelhead eggs collected. The constant stream of fresh water needed was delivered through 12-inch flume that was nearly 2,500 feet long from behind a dam on Lost Man Creek.</p><br>
<p>The early success of the temporary hatchery resulted in the continuation of the hatchery experiment during the early 1930s and hatchery steelhead, cutthroat trout, Coho salmon, and King salmon, were released to the wild.</p><br>
<p>The site of the temporary hatchery was abandoned and the present hatchery was completely rebuilt in 1936 on approximately the same footprint as the 62-acre historic district with the five buildings and seven contributing structures recognized today: the hatchery, superintendents house, assistants house, sidewalks, garage shop, shed, pipeline stream crossing, and four of the round outdoor water tanks. The fifth tank was added later. Several buildings were reworked and removed over the time of operation and the dam and reservoir were removed in 1989.</p><br>
<p>The hatchery continued production of trout and salmon during the 1940s, but as the water supply deteriorated as mechanized logging increased following World War II. Humboldt County began operating the hatchery in 1957. The property was conveyed to Humboldt County by the California State Assembly on 15 September 1961 and continued operation until 31 October 1992.</p><br>
<h2>The Indomitable Salmon</h2><br>
<p>On 2 December 1964, Hatchery Superintendent Ken Johnson found a 2-year-old marked coho salmon swimming in a tank of newborn fish, exactly where he had been raised two years earlier. To reach the tank, he had to travel from the Pacific Ocean up Redwood Creek, turn into Lost Man Creek, run up a ditch, through a 1.5 ft culvert under Highway 101, through a storm sewer, and up the hatchery waste water through a 4 in drainage pipe, making a 90 degree turn and a 2.5 ft vertical jump inside the pipe. Finally, he rammed through an overhead wire mesh screen, probably by jumping, to get into the rearing pond.</p><br>
<p>The fish was rapidly nicknamed Indomitable by the local press. Looking for how he got into the tank, workers found 72 more marked coho jack salmon of the same age class stuck in the flume or drainage pipe on the way to the hatchling pond.</p><br>
<p>The story of Indomitable received massive press coverage, inspired a book, and continues to be cited as one of the amazing feats of animal migration.</p><br>
<p>From 1974 to 1992 two large redwood sculptures of Indomitable were sequentially mounted outside the hatchery. The first, a 22 ft, two-ton sculpture by Floyd Davis of Gasquet, California was made and installed in 1974 after fundraising efforts by System 99 Vice-President Ed Henke. In 1992, this sculpture was judged too weathered to be displayed. Following donations by Arcata Redwood Company, Miller Farms Saw Shop and Humboldt County Supervisor, Anna Sparks, the second fish was carved on site by Mark Leppanen of Arcata. When the Hatchery closed on 31 October 1992, the second sculpture was removed and stored at the Arcata/Eureka airport until 14 October 1997 when the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors sold it to the North Coast Co-op grocery store in Arcata for $5,005 and displayed inside the store. Still at Prairie Creek are Indomitables mounting pole, concrete pad and dedication marker. The original Davis sculpture was sold by the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors and is currently installed outside Bucks of Woodside restaurant.</p><br>
<p>The Garza County Historical Museum houses a large collection of mostly ranch, cowboy, Indian, and pioneer artifacts located in a 1912 two-story colonial-style building of twenty-six rooms and hallways in Post, Texas, a community established by and named for the cereal magnate C. W. Post.</p><br>
<p>The museum is located at 119 North Avenue N to the right rear of the Garza County Courthouse. A virtual time capsule, the museum has room settings, period furnishings, a typical frontier chapel interior, and some local political memorabilia, including materials from the career of E L Short of Tahoka, a former member of both houses of the Texas State Legislature based in Lynn County. Managed by Linda G. Puckett of Post, the facility is open without charge to the public from 10 a.m. to noon and 1 to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturdays. The telephone is 806-495-2207.</p><br>
<p>The museum building was formerly a sanitarium, established by C. W. Post and the physician A. R. Ponton. Originally known as the Post Sanitarium and Nursing School, it opened its doors in 1913. It was considered the finest facility of its kind west of Fort Worth, where C. W. Post, a native of Springfield, Illinois, had lived for a time before his arrival in Post. C.W. Post purchased more than 200,000 acres in the Garza County area. Considering the former use of the building, the museum has a room which displays medical tools used in the early 1900s, including stethoscopes, glass syringes, and a wheelchair which resembles that used by USA President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The museum illustrates from prehistoric times to today. There are fossils of mammoths and metoposaurs, which resembled giant salamanders.</p><br>
<p>Garza County is a breakaway from Borden County to the west, named for Gail Borden, the inventor of condensed milk who never visited the area. The city of Post was organized and declared the county seat in 1907. C. W. Post came to the area to live, conducted experimental farming, and drilled for petroleum. The railroad came to Post in 1910-1911. Post considered the community his "little utopia" and resided there until his death on May 9, 1914.</p><br>
<p>After the closure of the sanitarium, the building was purchased by Marshall Mason and operated as the Colonial Apartments. In 1968, the Mason family donated the property to Garza County for use as a museum. The Garza County Historical Museum is a non-profit organization operating for charitable, scientific, literary, and educational purposes. Post is also home of the OS Museum, a combination of western and oriental exhibits, operated by former Mayor Giles McCrary.</p><br>
<p>In 2010, curator Linda Puckett in conjunction with the museum published Images of America: Garza County. The book is dedicated to both the pioneers who settled Garza County and to the armed services personnel who sacrifice for freedom.</p><br>
<p>The James Boggs Tannehill House is a historic residence in Zanesville, Ohio, United States. Constructed in 1892, it was the home of two of Muskingum County&#39;s leading citizens in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and it has been designated a historic site.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The Tannehill House is a weatherboarded building with a slate roof, a foundation of sandstone, and elements of brickwork. Featuring a large front gable, the house is three stories tall and has a large front porch. It is one of the area&#39;s oldest Colonial Revival buildings, for that style was only beginning to become popular in 1892.</p><br>
<h2>Tannehills</h2><br>
<p>Born in Belmont County, Ohio in 1827, James Boggs Tannehill gained prominence during the Civil War as the captain of a company of Ohio Volunteer Infantry. Although he lived more than forty years after the end of the war, he retained the title of "captain" in the popular mind. In the early 1870s, he moved from his Marietta-vicinity home to Muskingum County; there, he became a prominent farmer and was eventually elected president of a local farmers society. As he aged, Tannehill chose to move into Zanesville, where he built the present residence as a retirement home in his sixty-fifth year; there he remained until his death in 1909. After his death, his son P. H. Tannehill continued to live on the property; a well-known local attorney, he was elected to the countys common pleas court in 1932, retaining his judgeship until his death in 1948.</p><br>
<h2>Recognition</h2><br>
<p>In 1979, the James Boggs Tannehill House and a related outbuilding were listed together on the National Register of Historic Places. One of dozens of Zanesville buildings to have been given this distinction, it qualified for inclusion both because of its architecture and its place as the home of the prominent Tannehills. Perhaps its most important element is its place as an early example of the Colonial Revival movement: when Captain Tannehill ordered the houses construction, this style was yet very rare and unknown in general society. Having changed very little since its construction, the Tannehill House is one of the areas best Colonial Revival structures of any date.</p><br>
<p>Casa Romantica, renamed Casa Romantica Cultural Center and Gardens, is a nonprofit organization located in San Clemente, California that provides cultural programs for people of all ages. The organization was founded in 2002 by a charter of the City of San Clemente and is located at the historic home of Ole Hanson, who co-founded the City of San Clemente. Casa Romantica is listed on the National Register of Historic Places listings in Orange County, California, on December 27, 1991.</p><br>
<h2>Mission</h2><br>
<p>Casa Romantica Cultural Center and Gardens is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization and is the historic home of the founder of the City of San Clemente. Casa Romantica provides programs for all ages in arts, music, history, and horticulture and is a premier Southern California cultural center.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Construction of the Home</h3><br>
<p>Ole Hanson, a real estate developer and one-time mayor of Seattle, visited San Clemente in the early 1920s and chose the site to create his ideal community, a "Spanish Village by the Sea." On December 6, 1925, Hanson persuaded people who had driven from Los Angeles and the surrounding areas for a free chicken dinner and a sales pitch to buy more than 300 lots in what then was a desolate landscape remote from the rest of southern California. Hanson and co-founder H.H. Cotton devised San Clemente as one of the first master-planned cities in California, with town boundaries consisting of roughly five miles of coastline by one mile from the shores to the inland hills. In 1927, Hanson commissioned architect Carl Lindbom to design a home for his family that overlooked the Pacific Ocean. Lindbom, who also designed La Casa Pacifica (the former Western White House), realized the construction of Hanson&#39;s California Dream home: a seven-bedroom, seven-bath house that included the finest materials and innovations in construction at that time. The Hanson family brought exotic furnishings, plants, and animals to the home, with colorful fish that filled the courtyard pool and several horses for beach rides.</p><br>
<h3>Ownership</h3><br>
<p>Hanson’s vision of a master-planned Spanish village prospered until the Great Depression destroyed the national economy. Casa Romantica was foreclosed upon in 1934 by the Bank of America, and Hanson paid his $3 million debt by endowing the bank $12 million in mortgages.</p><br>
<p>Over the years, the house has been owned or operated by at least seven individuals or organizations, and has been renamed at least three times.</p><br>
<h3>Transformation into a Cultural Center</h3><br>
<p>The San Clemente Historical Society, which has been instrumental in preserving many of San Clemente&#39;s original buildings, appealed to the City of San Clemente to purchase Casa Romantica and to register it as a historic landmark. Casa Romantica was purchased by the San Clemente Redevelopment Agency in 1989, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 27, 1991.</p><br>
<p>For the next several years, its proposed use was debated, but a city council vote in November 2001 determined that the landmark would be designated as a cultural center with a mixture of public and private funding. The vote was swayed by a $1.25M anonymous donation from the Orange County Community Foundation that earmarked the funds for use in a cultural arts or educational center. Following a $3.6M renovation, Casa Romantica Cultural Center and Gardens opened its doors to the public in 2003.</p><br>
<h2>Current Usage</h2><br>
<h3>Cultural Center</h3><br>
<p>Today, Casa Romantica Cultural Center and Gardens provides programs for all ages in arts, music, history, horticulture and literature. As the epicenter of arts and culture in south Orange County, the cultural center produces over 60 concerts, workshops, classes, recitals, lectures, and events per year. Several of its programs have been critically acclaimed by the regional press, including its unique Classical Music Festival and Academy and its specially-commissioned rendition of the Shakespearean play Hamlet.</p><br>
<p>Casa Romantica is also a member of the American Horticultural Society, admission to which enables free admission to a network of 300 gardens in the United States, Canada, the Cayman Islands, and the USA Virgin Islands.</p><br>
<p>Casa Romantica is led by its Executive Director, Berenika Schmitz.</p><br>
<h3>Private Events</h3><br>
<p>Casa Romantica can also be reserved for special events including weddings, photography and videography shoots, and other corporate or private events, and has been featured as a top Orange County destination in Wedding Wire, Sunset magazine, and Westways magazine.</p><br>

<p>The Stoličná hora  is a table hill near Děčín  in the Bohemian Switzerland in the Czech Republic.</p><br>
<h2>Location and area</h2><br>
<p>The Stoličná hora rises immediately north of the town of Děčín. The west flank of the hill runs down to the River Elbe, which here at the Stoličná hora enters its deeply incised, narrow valley through the Elbe Sandstone Mountains. To the north, the hill is bounded by the Lauben Gorge in which the Loubsky potok, coming from the direction of Ludvíkovice (Loosdorf), flows down into the Elbe.</p><br>
<p>On the south side of the hill plateau is an observation point known as the Emperor&#39;s View (Kaiseraussicht or Císařský výhled). On the Elbe, below the steep, rocky hillside lies the small village of Loubí (Laube) which is part of Děčín and the extensive facilities of the Elbe port of Loubí. In the Quaderberg Tunnel the Děčín vychod–Děčín-Prostřední Žleb section of the railway line, once part of the former Austrian Northwestern Railway, cuts through the southwest flank of the hill.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The first known treks up the Quaderberg are mentioned as early as 1828. When the hill was made more accessible in 1864 by Leopold Strnad, it was called the Leopold Heights (Leopoldshöhe). In 1870 the first restaurant opened here. The silver wedding of the Austrian emperor and empress in 1879 was the occasion of the erection of a sandstone column on the southern aspect of the hill which was named Emperor&#39;s View (Kaiseraussicht). In 1890 the pavilion known as Elbwarte ("Elbe Lookout") was built. A rest stop from 1900 was called the Karolinenfels. After 1945 the restaurant was torn down.</p><br>
<h2>Views</h2><br>
<p>From the Emperor&#39;s View there is a picturesque view over the basin of Děčín as far as the heights of the nearby Central Bohemian Uplands. This is one of the best viewing points in Bohemian Switzerland.</p><br>
<h2>Ascents</h2><br>
<p>The red signposted main hiking trail in Bohemian Switzerland runs over the Quaderberg; coming from Děčín and heading over the crest of Rosenkamm to Hřensko (Herrnskretschen).</p><br>
<p>The Ferndale Public Library was built in 1909 as Carnegie Grant Library on donated land and supported by the city of Ferndale, California, until becoming part of the Humboldt County Library system in 1915. It is the only Carnegie Library in northwestern California still functioning as a Public Library.</p><br>
<h2>Early history</h2><br>
<p>The first free reading room in Ferndale opened 3 February 1896 on the ground floor of the Gilt Edge Building with books from the old town library and the Chapin library. The Ferndale Enterprise newspaper reported the hours of operation and added that "Smoking, loud talking, spitting on the floor, etc. will be strictly prohibited by the management," but by 12 February 1897 the reading room closed for lack of support.</p><br>
<p>November 30, 1904 a free public library reading room was set up in the Paine building at the corner of Main and Washington streets.</p><br>
<p>Two years later, on 18 April 1906, Ferndale was struck by the Great San Francisco earthquake. The Ferndale Enterprise reported that the Paine building was "twisted and the plate glass windows were demolished." The Gilt Edge building where the old reading room had been was so completely ruined by the earthquake that it had to be demolished in 1908.</p><br>
<h2>The Carnegie Library</h2><br>
<p>The city council corresponded with James Bertram, an assistant of Andrew Carnegie in 1908 to obtain the Carnegie Foundation Grant for $8,000 which was equal to ten times the amount the town would contribute per year to support it.</p><br>
<p>Architect Warren Skellings of Eureka, California, designed a one-story reinforced concrete building in Classical Revival style to fit on a 40 foot by 40 foot area, deeded to the town of Ferndale by Adam Putnam, and according to the deed of transfer "if not so used, then to revert to the grantor." Construction was awarded to Ackerman and Ackerman of Eureka for $7,775.40 on April 12, 1909. Furnishings were extra so the city of Ferndale agreed to loan the extra money.</p><br>
<p>The Paine building was leased by a showman for a movie theater, and in May 1909 the library temporarily moved into the Brelle Building, at Main and Shaw opposite the Knights of Pythias Castle, until the new library building was ready.</p><br>
<p>On 29 October 1909, a 6.0 magnitude earthquake centered a few miles southeast of town broke the large glass panes in the front of the Brelle building.</p><br>
<p>As new building neared completion, citizens questioned why the building bore the label "Ferndale Library" instead of "Carnegie Library". The Ferndale Enterprise of 5 November 1909 explained that it was "the express wish of Mr. Carnegie that his name should be omitted. Some of the first of the library buildings made possible by his generosity bore his name, but on later ones this has been left off by his desire," and added that an "unostentatious" tablet would be placed inside the building with a hope "that gentleman will perhaps not object to our people commemorating his name."</p><br>
<p>Construction dragged on while a wood-burning furnace and electrical fittings were shipped and installed; the city council became concerned because they were also paying for the rental on the temporary facility at the Brelle Building, but on 15 March 1910 new the library building was accepted as ready for occupancy.</p><br>
<p>The library formally opened 2 April 1910. By 1911 the Ferndale Village Club ladies had begun to plant the grounds and installed cement walkways, but a neighbor&#39;s cattle kept escaping onto the library grounds and eating the plantings. In 1912, cattle-proof concrete walls were built and library trustees were able to repay the town the $264.40 loaned during construction. In a sign of increasing regionalisation in Humboldt County, the Ferndale Library became a branch of the Humboldt County Library System in 1915.</p><br>
<p>The building has been continually maintained. An updated furnace was added in 1926 and, in 1977, a rear addition enlarged the original building to include a children&#39;s room, a bathroom and storage, but the style and original furnishings were retained.</p><br>
<p>The Eureka and Ferndale Public Libraries were the only two Carnegie Grant libraries in northwestern California, but only the Ferndale Library is still functioning as a public library with original bookcases and furniture.</p><br>
<p>Morotai Island  is an island in the Halmahera group of eastern Indonesias Maluku Islands . It is one of Indonesias northernmost islands.</p><br>
<p>Morotai is a rugged, forested island lying to the north of Halmahera. It has an area of some 1,800 km&sup2, stretching 80 km north-south and no more than 42 km wide. The islands largest town is Daruba, on the islands south coast. Almost all of Morotais numerous villages are coastal settlements; a paved road linking those on the east coast starts from Daruba and will eventually reach Berebere, the principal town on Morotai&#39;s east coast, 68 km from Daruba. Between Halmahera and the islets and reefs of the west coast of Morotai is the Morotai Strait, which is about 10 km wide.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Morotai was part of the Ternate Sultanate, which was a vassal of the Dutch East India Company by the end of the 17th century.</p><br>
<h3>Second World War</h3><br>
<p>The Empire of Japan invaded Morotai early in 1942 as part of its Dutch East Indies Campaign. US forces and their allies counter-attacked by launching the Battle of Morotai in 1944; bombing the island in August and invading it in September. Imperial Japanese forces on Morotai held out until 1945 but failed to expel the Allied invaders. In the latter part of 1944, 61,000 personnel landed on Morotai. Two thirds of them were engineers, who rapidly established facilities including harbours and two airstrips plus extensive fuel stores.</p><br>
<p>The formal surrender of the Second Japanese Army took place at Morotai on 9 September 1945.</p><br>
<p>The last Japanese holdout from the war, Private Teruo Nakamura (Amis: Attun Palalin), was discovered by the Indonesian Air Force on Morotai, and surrendered to a search patrol on December 18, 1974.</p><br>
<h3>Permesta rebellion</h3><br>
<p>The Dutch Empire withdrew in the Indonesian National Revolution in the late 1940s, after which the new Indonesian Air Force (AURI) kept one of the Allied-built airstrips in use. During the Permesta rebellion in 1958, AURI North American B-25 Mitchell bomber aircraft used the airstrip in transit on their way to attack the rebel centre at Manado in North Sulawesi. Permesta had its own "Revolutionary Air Force", AUREV, whose aircraft, munitions and pilots were supplied by the CIA. AUREV aircraft attacked Morotai on April 21 and again early on April 26. The second air raid was immediately followed by an amphibious Permesta landing force that quickly captured the island. Within hours a Douglas C-47 Skytrain transport aircraft landed on the now captured airstrip, carrying senior Permesta representative and two Americans. One was a USAF officer who inspected the runway and pronounced that Boeing B-29 Superfortress heavy bomber aircraft could use it.</p><br>
<p>In May 1958 Indonesian National Armed Forces started to gather amphibious forces to retake both Morotai and the rebel-held town of Jailolo on the neighbouring island of Halmahera. By May 16 the assault fleet started to gather in Ambon harbour and on May 20 its troops landed on Morotai while élite Pasukan Gerak Tjepat (PGT or "Quick Reaction Force") troops parachuted onto the island. The Permesta force&#39;s surrender was as quick as its capture of the island less than a month before. It alarmed the Permesta rebels who had captured Jailolo, many of whom promptly fled back to North Sulawesi. Thereafter the rebellion was largely confined to the Minahassa Peninsula of Sulawesi, where Permesta remnants waged a guerilla campaign until the last unit surrendered in January 1962.</p><br>

<p>Khor Kalmat is a lagoon located along the Makran coast of Balochistan, Pakistan. The Basol River drains into the Khor Kalmat lagoon. In recent times, it has gained attention for being the locality where the Pakistan Navy plans to build a base, known as the Kalmat Naval Base.</p><br>
<p>Kalmat lies about 350 km west of Karachi; the area is located at a distance of about 20 km from the Makran Coastal Highway. There are four main settlements in the area viz. Kalmat, Chundi, Gursant and Makola. People are living below the poverty line and thus dependence on natural resources mainly fishery has increased. Now there is uncertainty in returns expected from fishing.</p><br>
<p>The population of Kalmat area is about 2,000. Majority of them are fishermen and belong to the Kalmati and Sanghur Baloch tribes. About 95% of the population is engaged in fishing activities.</p><br>
<h2>Kalmat naval base</h2><br>
<p>The Pakistan Navy is planning to construct the Kalmat Naval Base at Khor Kalmat.</p><br>
<h2>Fishery</h2><br>
<p>Fishery is the main source of economic sustainance and revenue in the region; the water surrounding Khor Kalmat provide high quality prawns and other different types of fish. Annually, millions of rupees worth of prawns and fish are exported from Kalmat to Karachi and the international market. Sources say that if the government of Pakistan decides to go ahead with their plan to build the naval base, it will cost thousands of fishermen their jobs. It is also feared that thousands of fishermen will lose their jobs, as the Pakistan Navy will take over the area.</p><br>
