<p>Boullanger Island  lies off the coast of Western Australia and covers an area of about 35 hectare. The nearest settlement is the mainland town of Jurien Bay.</p><br>
<p>The island is part of the Jurien Bay Marine Park which was declared in August 2003 &ndash; the park is located 200 to 300 km north of Perth, along the Indian Ocean Drive, and extends south from Green Head to the Southern boundary of Nambung National Park, encompassing many of the islands located in this region. The Park protects an important section of Western Australia&#39;s central west coast, including Boullanger, Whitlock and Escape islands.</p><br>
<p>Both Boullanger Island and Jurien Bay were named on 1 July 1801 by the French expedition led by Captain Nicolas Baudin aboard the Géographe. Boullanger Island honours the cartographer of the expedition, Charles-Pierre Boullanger. Jurien Bay honours Charles Marie Vicomte Jurien (1763–1836), a French naval administrator.</p><br>
<h2>Fauna & flora</h2><br>
<p>The island is inhabited by an endemic species of marsupial mouse, Sminthopsis boullangerensis, the Boullanger Island dunnart. It was formerly considered a subspecies of the grey-bellied dunnart (S. griseoventer), for which reason it was not assessed by the IUCN in 2008 (although it was classed as critically endangered in the 1996 list). The EPBC Act classifies the Boullanger Island dunnart as vulnerable.</p><br>
<p>Strutts Park Roman Fort was a Roman fort in Strutts Park, a suburb of Derby in Derbyshire, England. It was built around the year 50 and replaced, probably between the years 75 and 80, by a new fort at Little Chester on the opposite bank of the River Derwent.</p><br>
<h2>The site</h2><br>
<p>The site of the fort was under the present day Duffield Road and Belper Road; the first report of its existence appeared in 1967. Excavations in 1995 revealed terracing, stone wall footing and a cobbled pavement. Finds of pottery from the excavations are partly held by the Trent & Peak Archaeological Trust, partly at Derby Museum.</p><br>
<p>Its purpose was probably to protect an important river crossing: less than a mile to the south the north-south Roman road now known as Ryknild Street crossed the Derwent. A second road, known as The Long Lane, ran westward from this point in the direction of Wroxeter and Chester; a third, known as The Street, crossed the Peak District towards Buxton and Manchester.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The general outline of the Roman conquest of Britain during the 1st century AD is recorded by historical sources; for the involvement of specific forts historians depend on archaeological excavations. This part of Britain was occupied by a tribe known as the Cornovii. In AD 46-47 the Roman Army led by governor Aulus Plautius had probably occupied the lands to the south of the River Trent. Late in 47 the new governor of Britain, Ostorius Scapula, began a campaign against the tribes of the western mountains (modern Wales). Caratacus, their leader, was defeated in battle in AD 50 and fled to the Brigantes who occupied the Pennines. Their queen, Cartimandua, came to terms with the Romans and handed Caratacus over to them. Ostorius died and was replaced by Aulus Gallus who brought the Welsh borders under control but did not move further north or west. It was at about this time that the fort at Strutt&#39;s Park was built. It probably lay not far south of the border between Roman territory and that held by the Brigantes, who were now an allied or subject kingdom.</p><br>
<p>The campaign to conquer the Welsh mountains continued under governor Quintus Veranius and his successor Gaius Suetonius Paulinus. Around AD 74 Queen Cartimandua asked for Roman assistance to defeat a rebellion, indicating possible unrest in the territories north of Strutts Park. Then in 78, Gnaeus Julius Agricola, made famous through the highly laudatory biography of him written by his son-in-law, Tacitus, was made governor. He consolidated the forts, improved the road infrastructure and led some now well documented campaigns - firstly in 78 he reconquered North Wales, then in 79 conquered the Brigantes and also the Parisii of modern east Yorkshire, thus completing the annexation of what is now northern England. Strutts Park, if intended as a defence of the river crossing against the Brigantes to the north, was perhaps no longer needed. It was at any rate replaced, at about this time, by a new fort at Little Chester, directly on the line of Ryknild Street and better placed to control the developing road network.</p><br>
<p>The Six Mile Run Reformed Church is in the Six Mile Run section of Franklin Township, Somerset County, New Jersey, United States, that takes its name from Six Mile Run, a tributary of the Millstone River that flows through the area.</p><br>
<p>The first house of worship for an early congregation, the Church of the Three Mile Run, was built in 1703. As the congregation grew, members were sent out to start new churches, and Six Mile Run emerged in 1710. In 1720, Reverend Theodorus Jacobus Frelinghuysen became the permanent pastor, sent from Holland to take charge of the Dutch churches of Middlesex, Somerset, and Hunterdon counties.</p><br>
<p>The first building was replaced by a new building in 1766 and was later replaced in 1817 by a third structure on the same site. The current building replaced the 1817 church that was destroyed by fire on January 7, 1879. Within a year the present day church with its hexagonal bell tower and tall slate shingle steeple was erected and dedicated.</p><br>
<p>The Frelinghuysen Memorial Chapel was added in 1907 and the Fellowship Hall was dedicated in 1958.</p><br>
<p>The Association Residence Nursing Home, also called the Association for the Relief of Respectable, Aged and Indigent Females, is an historic building in New York City built from 1881–1883 to the design of Richard Morris Hunt in the Victorian Gothic style. It is located on Amsterdam Avenue between 103rd and 104th Streets in Manhattan, and is now a youth hostel run by Hostelling International. The Association was founded in 1814 to help the widows of soldiers of the American Revolutionary War and the War of 1812. An addition to the building was constructed on the south end of the property in 1907, which contained seven Tiffany windows which are now in the collection of the Morse Museum of American Art. The building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.</p><br>
<h2>Association</h2><br>
<p>On February 14, 1814, the Society for the Relief of Indigent Respectable Females, as it was first known, was established in New York City. The Society raised private donations, and gave clothing, small stoves, and food to elderly impoverished women "to relieve and comfort those aged females, who once enjoyed a good degree of affluence, but now reduced to poverty by the vicissitudes of Providence." It was run by women and its first directress was Ann Dominick in 1814. With the help of John Jacob Astor and Peter G. Stuyvesant, the Association built an asylum in 1837-38 at 226 East 20th Street and in 1845 added an infirmary.</p><br>
<p>In 1881 the Association bought the lot on Amsterdam Avenue for $77,500 and construction began that fall by contractor John J. Tucker. The choice of the location was influenced by the construction of an elevated railway one block west on Ninth Avenue. The building was completed at a cost of $100,000 in 1883. At its dedication ceremony The New York Times stated that "the degree of comfort, almost amounting to luxury, manifest in every detail of the establishment, elicited from many visitors yesterday the remark that they would like to be old women." The Association operated at the Amsterdam Avenue address until at least 1968.</p><br>
<h2>Architect</h2><br>
<p>Richard Morris Hunt was considered the dean of American architects. He was the first American architect trained at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. He worked with Thomas U. Walter in expanding the United States Capitol and designed the base of the Statue of Liberty. Though he designed many types of buildings, he is best known for designing the homes of wealthy families such as the Astors and Vanderbilts, along Fifth Avenue in New York City and in Newport, Rhode Island. He designed Biltmore for George W. Vanderbilt.</p><br>
<p>Hunts first designs for the Association for the Relief of Respectable, Aged and Indigent Females was made in 1868, though the building wasnt started until 1881. In 1881 he was hired again and produced several variants based on the original plans. Fewer than twenty of the 75 Hunt designed buildings erected in New York City still survive.</p><br>
<h2>Demise and rehabilitation</h2><br>
<p>Financial problems due to the longer life expectancy of residents began following World War II. Robert Moses proposed razing the building as part of an Upper West Side slum clearance project.</p><br>
<p>When Medicaid funds became available to nursing homes in the early 1970s, the Association planned to tear down and replace the building with a modern facility. A group of historic preservationists with ties to nearby Columbia University fought to preserve the building, making it into a community cause. Despite a fire during the New York City blackout of 1977 the preservationists prevailed and by the late 1970s, the building was acquired by the City of New York, and declared a New York City Landmark in 1983. During the 1980s the building was unoccupied as American Youth Hostels arranged neighborhood and government support for rehabilitating the building. They opened the hostel in January 1990 and with 670 beds it is now the largest hostel in North America.</p><br>
<p>Ytterøya is an island in the Trondheimsfjord in the municipality of Levanger in Nord-Trøndelag county, Norway. The 15 km long island has an area of 27.8 km&sup2; with 494 inhabitants . The highest point is the 210 m tall Sanstadkammen. The island has good agricultural land and has settlements across the whole island. The Levanger–Hokstad Ferry connects the village of Hokstad on the island to the town of Levanger on the mainland.</p><br>
<p>The old municipality of Ytterøy encompassed this island and some of the lands around it. Ytterøya has many burial mounds from the Stone Age. The island is famous for its dense roe deer population, and a popular hunting area for hunters from Scandinavia and Germany. In the middle of the 19th century phosphorus was exported to all of Europe from the mines here.</p><br>
<p>Granskär  is an island in the Kvarken , the narrowest part of the Gulf of Bothnia in the northern part of the Baltic sea. It has few inhabitants, almost all Swedish-speaking. Granskär belongs to the municipality of Vaasa.</p><br>
<p>The area has been inhabited since before the time of Swedish dominion over Finland; the first habitations can be traced to at least the 11th century and possibly earlier.</p><br>
<p>Granskär is part of a larger archipelago and most of the smaller islands around Replot have traditionally been used as fishing camps. Today the buildings are generally used as summer cottages since maritime activities play a large part in the culture of the region.</p><br>
<p>Fishing is nowadays mostly a recreational activity, but there are still a number of professional fishermen active in the archipelago.</p><br>
<p>A large part of the Kvarken archipelago has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.</p><br>
<p>Tell Halula is a large, prehistoric, neolithic tell, about 8 hectare in size, located around 105 km east of Aleppo and 25 km northwest of Membij in the Raqqa Governorate of Syria.</p><br>
<h2>Excavation</h2><br>
<p>The tell was first excavated in 1991 by the Spanish Archaeological Mission, directed by Miquel Molist, Professor of Prehistory at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Archaeological trenches have covered an area of approximately 2,500 m&sup2;.</p><br>
<h2>Construction</h2><br>
<p>The large mound is located on the steppe of nearby mountains at an altitude of 349 m above sea level and was found to be approximately 8 m deep. It is situated between Wadi Fars and Wadi Abu Gal Gal on the right bank and fluvial plain of the Euphrates. It is one of the largest neolithic sites yet found, described as a megasite, including the remains of twenty one rectangular houses of three to five rooms, nine with associated burials of at least one hundred and seven incomplete skeletons. Burials were made under the floors of the houses, which were typically covered with a limestone plaster.</p><br>
<h2>Culture</h2><br>
<p>Occupation of the site was detected from the middle of Pre-Pottery Neolithic B (PPNB) at around 7750 BC into the neolithic around 6780 BC and has provided insight into the transitions during this period, especially the emergence of agriculture during the neolithic revolution.</p><br>
<h3>Ceramics</h3><br>
<p>The ceramic sequence in Halula begins early in the 7th millennium BC. The introduction of Halaf culture painted Fine Ware is documented for the ‘Halula Phase IV’ period; this took place at the end of 7th millennium. Prior to that, there was the ‘Pre-Halaf’ period covering a very long initial stage of pottery production; the excavators break down this long period as Halula Phases I to III.Reinhard Bernbeck</p><br>
<p>and Olivier Nieuwenhuyse (2013),</p><br>
<p>Publications on Archaeology of the Leiden Museum of Archaeology (PALMA), Brepols pub. (Turnhout, Belgium), 17-37</p><br>
<h2>Agriculture and animal domestication</h2><br>
<p>222 flint sickle blades were found, including the remains of a complete sickle found in one of the houses made of four blade elements fixed with bitumen, shaped in a curved edge approximately 30 cm in length. Archaeozoological analyses of bovine tooth enamel show the development of herding and management practices of cattle.</p><br>
<p>D. Helmer suggested that domestication of goats also occurred at this site during the middle PPNB, in a transition from hunting gazelles. Farming of sheep and cattle took place in late middle PPNB stages with a decrease in size of cow noted as a sign of domestication. The prevalence of wild animals also reduced over this period. Analysis of naked emmer wheat and spikelet bases has shown this crop to have been domesticated during the middle of PPNB period at this site. The bottom levels of the tell revealed no evidence of wild crops, which suggests that the first people to occupy the site brought with them fully domesticated forms of wheat, barley and flax, which had been domesticated elsewhere.</p><br>
<h2>Ancient DNA</h2><br>
<p>Eva Fernández Domínguez extracted samples of mitochondrial DNA from human bones from Tell Halula as part of the studies for her PhD thesis accepted at the University of Barcelona in 2005. The methodology used was later superseded, so a first publication of the results in 2008 was corrected in a subsequent publication in 2014. In the latter publication the mtDNA haplogroups were given as U, R0, K, HV, H, N and L3.</p><br>
<p>Forestburgh Town Hall is a historic town hall located at Forestburgh in Sullivan County, New York. It was built in 1929 and is a small, rectangular wood frame building sheathed in novelty wood siding. The building measures 30 feet long and 20 feet wide. It has a gable roof and sits on a concrete foundation. Also located on the property is a small privy built in 1924. The town hall is almost an exact replica of the previous town hall building that stood in the same spot from 1895 until it burned in 1928. It remains virtually unchanged since its construction.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.</p><br>

<p>The Prentis Building and DeRoy Auditorium Complex consists of two educational buildings, the Meyer and Anna Prentis Building and the Helen L. DeRoy Auditorium, located respectively at 5201 and 5203 Cass Avenue in Midtown Detroit, Michigan, on the campus of Wayne State University. The buildings were built at the same time, and were designed by architect Minoru Yamasaki to interrelate functionally, spatially, and architecturally. The buildings were constructed at a critical point in Yamasaki&#39;s career when he was experimenting with ornamentation, light and shadow, and the use of pools and gardens to soften perception of standard International Style architecture. The complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In August 1955, Wayne State University hired architect Minoru Yamasaki to design the McGregor Memorial Conference Center. The commission came after Yamasaki&#39;s long convalescence and subsequent trip to Japan, and was his first opportunity to put into practice his re-envisionment of architecture.</p><br>
<p>Both the McGregor Center and the campus master plan were completed in 1958. The McGregor Center opened to immediate accolades from architectural magazines who called it "delightful" and "refreshing," The building solidified Yamasaki&#39;s reputation as a masterful International Style architect.</p><br>
<p>Yamasakis campus master plan called for closing off streets to auto traffic and constructing a campus around pedestrian courts. Although the entirety of Yamasakis vision was never realized, he did design a total of four buildings on the campus: the aforementioned McGregor Memorial Conference Center in 1957-58, the College of Education Building in 1960, and the two buildings in this complex, the Prentis Building and adjoining Helen L. DeRoy Auditorium, in 1962-1964.</p><br>
<p>Yamasaki began work on both the Prentis Building and the DeRoy Auditorium in the late 1950s. The buildings were to be located directly across from the Main Branch of the Detroit Public Library, on a site that was then an open mall, known as the War Memorial Mall. The mall had been only recently completed (in late 1956). Part of the mall, on which the Helen L. DeRoy Auditorium now sits, had been occupied by the childhood home of Michigan governor G. Mennen Williams.</p><br>
<h3>Meyer and Anna Prentis Building</h3><br>
<p>The Meyer and Anna Prentis Building was constructed to meet the needs of Wayne State&#39;s growing Business School. The school had been organized in 1946 with 459 undergraduates. By 1964, that number had grown to over 1400 undergraduates and 429 graduate students, with 55 faculty members.</p><br>
<p>Groundbreaking on the structure occurred on August 1, 1962, and the new home for the business school opened on January 28, 1964. The $2.3 million construction cost for the new building was supported through the philanthropy of Meyer L. and Anna Prentis. A year-and-a-half after the opening, the building was rededicated as the Meyer and Anna Prentis Building. The building has been used as the home of the Business School since its opening.</p><br>
<h3>Helen L. DeRoy Auditorium</h3><br>
<p>The Helen L. DeRoy Auditorium was constructed at the same time as the Prentis Building. It was built by the firm of Darin & Armstrong for a cost of approximately $600,000. The design and construction of the building was partly financed by a $323,000 gift from the Helen L. DeRoy Foundation.</p><br>
<p>Groundbreaking for the Helen L. DeRoy Auditorium occurred on August 1, 1962, concurrently with the Prentis building, and the auditorium opened on March 3, 1964. It was built to serve the Business School, but has always been used more broadly as a lecture hall for the University as a whole.</p><br>
<h3>Meyer Leon Prentis</h3><br>
<p>Meyer Prentis was born as Meyer Leon Prensky in 1886 in Lithuania. At age two, he immigrated with his parents to St. Louis, where he attended grade school, high school and finally Jones Commercial College, where he specialized in accounting, finance and commercial law. After graduation, he worked first for a large mercantile firm, and then starting in 1904 at the Laclede Gas Light Company. His supervisor boss at Laclede, C. A. McGee, left to become the controller for the newly formed General Motors Corporation, and in 1911 recruited Prentis to be General Motors&#39;s chief accountant. In 1919, Prentis was elected treasurer of General Motors, a position he held until his retirement in 1951.</p><br>
<p>In 1914, Meyer married Anna Sylvia Steinberg, a secretary at General Motors. The couple had four daughters. Meyer Prentis spent significant time on philanthropy. He was a founder of the United Foundation of Greater Detroit, an early leader of the Jewish Welfare Federation, a trustee and president of the Citizens Research Council of Michigan, a trustee of the Temple Beth El, and a founding member of the Advisory Committee to Wayne State&#39;s new business school. Meyer Prentis died in 1970, and his wife Anna died in 1974.</p><br>
<h3>Aaron and Helen DeRoy</h3><br>
<p>Aaron DeRoy was born in 1880 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and graduated from the University of Pittsburgh with a degree in dentistry. His wife, Helen Lowentritt DeRoy, was born in 1882 in Oil City, Pennsylvania. Her father earned a fortune in the oil industry, making Helen a wealthy young woman.</p><br>
<p>Aaron DeRoy changed careers when he became interested in automobiles. He sold first electric cars, then gasoline-powered ones, and eventually became a distributor for Studebaker. In 1922, having made a considerable fortune, he decided to retire. The DeRoys moved from Pittsburgh to Detroit, but in 1923, rather than retiring, Aaron founded the Aaron DeRoy Motor Car Company, which distributed Hudson-Essex automobiles. Aaron DeRoy continued to lead the DeRoy Motor Car Company until his death in an automobile accident in 1935.</p><br>
<p>After Aaron&#39;s death, Helen DeRoy assumed full responsibility for all of his financial operations, including the DeRoy Motor Car Company. She sold the firm in the early 1940s and subsequently established and directed the Helen L. DeRoy Foundation. The Foundation funded numerous major projects, including expanding the Jewish Community Center located on Woodward Avenue at Holbrook Street, construction of a theater at the Jewish Community Center in West Bloomfield, and a contributing to a number of Wayne State buildings. The Foundation also established a number of scholarships for deserving students at different universities. Helen DeRoy lived until 1977.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Prentis Building and Helen L. DeRoy Auditorium are built directly adjacent to one another, with the Prentis Building situated on Cass Avenue directly across from the Main Branch of the Detroit Public Library. The DeRoy Auditorium sits approximately 30 yards behind the Prentis Building. The two buildings are connected by an underground tunnel.</p><br>
<h3>Meyer and Anna Prentis Building</h3><br>
<p>The Prentis Building is a rectangular, International Style, three-story steel-frame structure with a flat roof. A wide, off-center walk-through at ground level separates the building into north and south wings, and provides a view of the DeRoy Auditorium from Cass Avenue. The first floor is faced with buff-colored travertine marble, and the second and third stories are faced with cast concrete panels. Narrow windows are inset between the panels. The outer edges of the first floor are recessed back from the edge of the upper stories. Thin freestanding columns clad in marble-flecked concrete ring the lower floor, and meet the upper section at its edge, serving to support the two upper floors. The columns continue upward, terminating at the top of the building in a projecting finial.</p><br>
<p>On the north side of the first floor is a story-and-a-half study hall enclosed in glass panels, with a mezzanine to the north. The southern side of the first floor houses administrative offices, and the off-center walkway separating the two sections houses planters and a bench. The second and third floors are used for office space. Two double glass doors off the walkway open onto to a double-turned staircase leading to the basement level. This level contains classrooms and lockers and for the Wayne State School of Business Administration. The building contains a total of 65,000 ft&sup2; of classroom space, some of it underneath the surrounding mall. A basement-level tunnel connects the building to the Helen L. DeRoy Auditorium.</p><br>
<h3>Helen L. DeRoy Auditorium</h3><br>
<p>The DeRoy Auditorium is a nearly square two-story windowless steel-frame building with a flat roof with broadly projecting eaves. The façades are clad in narrow gray-colored cast concrete panels with white marble chips. On all four sides, raised ribs are overlaid on the panels, terminating in Gothic arches just beneath the eaves. The ribs project about four inches at ground level, but gradually increase in depth toward the top of the building until they project almost two feet near the top. The broad eaves and curving, projecting ribs create striking shadows. The gothic arch treatment on the DeRoy Auditorium is strongly similar to Yamasaki&#39;s design of the United States Science Pavilion at the 1962 World’s Fair in Seattle, a commission he received while working on the DeRoy Auditorium.</p><br>
<p>The building is completely surrounded by a reflecting pool approximately three feet deep and twenty-two feet wide. Planters and benches line the pool (now dry), and shallow stairs allow access on the north and south sides. Bridges on the eastern and western sides of the building, as well as an underground tunnel from the Prentis Building, provide access. The bridges are paved with an aggregate containing marble chips, differentiating it from the surrounding sidewalk.</p><br>
<p>Inside, a small entrance lobby allows access to either the first floor auditorium or the auditorium on the lower level. The first floor auditorium seats 400 people, and the basement auditorium seats 300 people. Both auditoriums rake downward toward a front stage, and contain seating arranged in three sections, with two intermediate aisles. Restrooms are located on the lower level, as well as underground access to the Prentis Building.</p><br>
<h3>Context</h3><br>
<p>In the 1950s and 1960s, the Detroit area was a hotbed of Modernist architecture, with not only Yamasaki, but also Eero Saarinen, Alden Dow, and the designers at Cranbrook working in the area. Yamasaki was working to differentiate himself by exploring ornamentation and the use of historical forms like arches and columns, as well as the use of light and shadow, and integral pools and gardens. These buildings represent Yamasaki&#39;s honing of his vision, and were built at a time when he was becoming increasingly famous, garnering commissions for the United States Science Pavilion at the 1962 World’s Fair in Seattle and, in 1963, the World Trade Center.</p><br>
<p>The Werner-Gilchrist House was a historic house located in the University Heights neighborhood of Albuquerque, New Mexico. Built in 1908 as one of the earliest structures on the East Mesa, it was considered a pioneering building in Albuquerque&#39;s 20th-century suburban growth. It was added to the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties and the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was built in 1908 by Laura Werner—an employee of real estate developer and future mayor D.K.B. Sellers—and her son-in-law Ralph Gilchrist. Located on a corner lot in Sellers newly platted University Heights Addition, the house was originally surrounded by empty scrubland with no other buildings nearby except for the University of New Mexico campus to the northwest. Gilchrist and Werner died in 1920 and 1930, respectively, but Gilchrists widow (and Werner&#39;s daughter) Nora Gilchrist continued to live in the house until her own death in 1981.</p><br>
<p>After remaining vacant for decades, the decrepit house came to the attention of the city in 2005 when its owners applied for a demolition permit. Recognizing the historical importance of the building, the city denied the permit and applied to have the house designated as a protected city landmark. However, the continuing deterioration of the home made it cost-prohibitive to renovate and it remained in limbo until safety concerns brought the issue to a head in 2011. The city ended up issuing a demolition permit, and the house was razed beginning on November 19, 2011. Three UNM architecture graduate students, Bron Heintz, Hilary Noll and Bailey Porter, intervened in the conventional demo-to-landfill process of building demolition by carefully disassembling and salvaging as much of the building as possible, and diverted over half of the materials from the waste stream for reuse.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The Werner-Gilchrist House was an example of the "hipped box" style, with a wood-framed hip roof and dormer windows on all four sides.</p><br>
<h2>In popular culture</h2><br>
<p>Like many locations in Albuquerque, the Werner-Gilchrist House made an appearance in Breaking Bad, where it portrayed a crackhouse. Before its demolition, the owner of the house offered to let it be blown up on the show, but the producers declined.</p><br>
<p>Clarke Glacier is a 2-mile-wide, 20-mile-long glacier, located on the west coast of Graham Land in Antarctica. It flows west, along the north side of Sickle Mountain and the Baudin Peaksm, to Mikkelsen Bay.</p><br>
<p>It was first surveyed in 1936 by the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE) (1934-1937) under John Rymill. In January 1941, it was traversed near its head by a United States Antarctic Service (USAS) sledge party. The lower reaches of the glacier were surveyed in 1948-1949 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS), who named the glacier (decision year 1955).</p><br>
<p>The glacier was named for Louis C.G. Clarke, director of the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge from 1937 to 1946, who "greatly assisted the BGLE."</p><br>
<p>The Trippet stones or Trippet stones circle is a stone circle located on Manor Common in Blisland, 9 km north northeast of Bodmin on Bodmin Moor in Cornwall, UK. The Stripple stones are nearby.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The circle is situated on nearly level ground and has a diameter of 104.6 ft. It is made of eight upright granite stones with four others that have fallen. The stones are spaced on average around 12 ft apart, the highest measuring 5.2 ft. The fallen stones are 6.8 ft and 5.2 ft long. William Lukis suggested there may originally have been as many as twenty-six menhirs that suffered at the hands of stone-breakers. Aubrey Burl suggested twenty eight, set up on opposite facing pairs and suggests the name represents the folklore belief that the stones were girls punished for tripping lightly on Sabbath.</p><br>
<p>The Stripple stones are visible around 1 km eastwards over boggy ground.</p><br>
<h2>Archaeology</h2><br>
<p>The Trippet stones were examined in 1908 by H. St. George Gray who excavated the nearby Stripple stones in 1905 and found a few flint flakes and an entrance from this facing southwest, directly towards the Trippet stones.</p><br>
<h2>Alignments</h2><br>
<p>Norman Lockyer visited the site in 1907 and suggested the date of the circles construction to be around 1700 BC by calculating an alignment of Arcturus over Rough Tor. Lockyer also noted an eleven degree alignment between Trippet stones and Leaze stone circle, but suggested if this alignment were to mean anything, it would have to be with regards stellar rising alignments as it is outside of the suns path.</p><br>
<h2>Literature</h2><br>
<p>The Stripple stones  is a henge and stone circle located on the south slope of Hawk&#39;s Tor, Blisland, 10 km north northeast of Bodmin on Bodmin Moor in Cornwall, England, UK.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>First recorded by this name during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I the circle has been described by William Lukis as "the most interesting and remarkable monument in the county". It is surrounded by a circular ditch and vallum that forms a level platform 175 ft in diameter. The circle is 145.5 ft in diameter with four granite standing stones and several fallen. In the centre is a giant fallen menhir approximately 12 ft long and 5 ft at the widest point, split in three places. Lukis suggested that with an average spacing of 12 ft, there would have been thirty seven original stones, whilst Aubrey Burl suggested only twenty eight.</p><br>

<p>The Stripple stones were excavated in 1905 by H. St. George Gray who found a burnt flint, three flint flakes, an ox bone and some charcoal and oak timbers in the surrounding ditch. He also detected an entrance from this facing southwest, directly towards the Trippet stones. Gray noted that the stones had only been set approximately 1.5 ft deep into the ground. Four postholes were found surrounding the central stone which was discovered to have been offset from the centre of the circle by 14 ft to the south southeast.</p><br>
<h2>Alignments</h2><br>
<p>The vallum surrounding the circle has three semi-lunar projections facing towards the northwest, northeast and east. It has been completely obliterated to the south. Norman Lockyer suggested that sighted from the centre stone, the northeast projection would have aligned with Capella in 1250 BC.</p><br>

<p>The Nine Stones  is a stone circle located 3 km south southeast of Altarnun, 11 km west of Launceston on Bodmin Moor in Cornwall, UK.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Nine Stones is an English heritage managed property. It was restored in 1889 when only two remained standing. The circle is the smallest on Bodmin moor, only 49 ft in diameter with eight granite stones forming the circle and one in the centre. A flat triangular shaped stone also lies at the base of one of the stones. The stones are irregularly spaced with the tallest being 4.2 ft. A gap in the north suggests where a stone may have stood.</p><br>
<h2>Archaeology</h2><br>
<p>There are hut circles 550 m to the northeast and another to the south.</p><br>
<h2>Alignments</h2><br>
<p>Alexander Thom proposed a lunar alignment with a nearby stone row which leads towards some cairns, although this has been considered doubtful as the row is likely of medieval construction.</p><br>

<p>The McDonald Ranch is a historic ranch complex located 14 mi southwest of Chugwater in Laramie County, Wyoming. Donald McDonald, a Scottish immigrant, founded the ranch in 1881. McDonald developed his ranch using his personal savings, which was uncommon in a region where most ranches could draw upon outside capital or inheritances. However, his ranch became one of the most successful in northern Laramie County; by McDonald&#39;s death in 1925, the ranch was worth over $180,000 and had acquired portions of three other major ranches.</p><br>
<p>The ranch complex includes seven buildings, six of which are contributing buildings. The one-room log cabin McDonald built when he established the ranch still stands on the property. In 1890, McDonald built a stone ranch house to accommodate his growing family; the house, the main building on the ranch, is typical of the period and region, as the lack of local or imported timber made stone construction popular. Other contributing buildings on the ranch include two connected stock barns with gambrel roofs, a bunkhouse, a garage, and partially collapsed root cellars.</p><br>
<p>The ranch was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>
<p>Moul Falls is a waterfall on Grouse Creek in Wells Gray Provincial Park, east-central British Columbia, Canada. It is one of the park&#39;s most popular short hiking trails. It is the only waterfall in the park that one can stand behind. Moul Falls is the third highest waterfall in the park, measured as a straight, unbroken drop.</p><br>
<p>Grouse Creek rises from snowmelt, a lake and springs at a pass between Trophy Mountain and Table Mountain. It flows 18 km west before tumbling over Moul Falls, then McDiarmid Falls, and entering the Clearwater River.</p><br>
<h2>Naming</h2><br>
<p>George William Moul was one of the earliest settlers in this area and homesteaded east of the falls in 1915. Under land pre-emption regulations, Moul was granted a war leave in 1918 and left the Clearwater Valley to serve in World War I. Moul returned to Canada after the war and settled in Vancouver where he worked for the Canadian Pacific Railway. He died in 1947 and some of his relatives still live in Vancouver.</p><br>
<p>Grouse Creek is the fourth name for the stream that forms Moul Falls. No other Wells Gray Park place name has been changed more times. Surveyor Robert Lee referred to it as Beaver Creek on his maps drawn in 1912 to 1914. After the area was settled, the stream became known as Grouse Creek because of the profusion of blue grouse that inhabited these forests. The waterfall and creek were called Moul starting in the 1930s. In the 1980s, locals gradually reverted to using the Grouse Creek name, even though “Moul Creek” appeared on all the maps. The Ministry of Highways erected a “Grouse Creek” sign on the Clearwater Valley Road bridge in 1990 which confused travellers even more. The following year, the Friends of Wells Gray Park requested a ruling from the Geographical Names Office in Victoria. After an investigation of local and historical usage, a decision was announced in favour of Grouse Creek. Moul Falls remained unchanged.</p><br>
<h2>Access</h2><br>
<p>The trail to Moul Falls starts at a well-signed parking lot on Clearwater Valley Road (also called Wells Gray Park Road). The hike takes 1 hour each way. A narrow canyon funnels Grouse Creek to the brink of the falls, so a view from above is difficult. The stairs to the bottom of Moul Falls were built in 1997 by the Neave family who own the adjoining land, Interior Whitewater Expeditions which operates rafting trips on the Clearwater River, and the Friends of Wells Gray Park. Later that year, Wells Gray Park was expanded to include Moul Falls and the stairs are now maintained by B.C. Parks. From July until winter, it is possible to walk behind the falls and into the large cave that has been eroded by the spray. The plunge pool is a pleasant swim on a hot summer day.</p><br>
<p>A foot bridge crosses Grouse Creek just above the falls. Trails lead to McDiarmid Falls (downstream from Moul Falls) and along the cliffs above the Clearwater River.</p><br>
<p>In winters that are very cold and snowy, Moul Falls builds a giant ice cone which may reach halfway up the falls. The best access is using snowshoes. Cross-country skiers with expert skills can get to the falls, but the trail has several steep downhill sections.</p><br>
<p>Schieffelin Hall is a building from the American Old West in Tombstone, Arizona Territory, the largest standing adobe structure still existent in the United States southwest. It was built in 1881 by Albert Schieffelin, brother of Tombstone founder Ed Schieffelin, and William Harwood as a first class opera house, theater, recital hall, and a meeting place for Tombstone citizens.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>When the hall opened on the corner of Fremont and Fourth Streets in June 8, 1881, it seated 450 on the floor and 125 more in the gallery. The stage drop curtain was painted with a scene from Colorado and was considered a work of art. The building was the center for city entertainment and social events in Tombstone with formal balls and theatrical performances. When it opened, it was "the largest, most elaborate theater between El Paso, Texas and San Francisco, California." The first play, Tom Taylor’s five-act drama, The Ticket-of-Leave Man, was staged on September 15, 1881. The Hall was scorched by a large fire that burned many blocks in 1882.</p><br>
<p>Schieffelin, his brother Ed, and their mining engineer partner Richard Gird formed a partnership, shaking hands on a three-way deal that was never put down on paper. The company they formed, the Tombstone Gold and Silver Mining Company, held title to the claims and worked the mines. They brought in two big strikes, the Lucky Cuss and the Tough Nut. The company produced millions of dollars of wealth for the three owners.</p><br>
<p>Along with the other claims, the three men owned a piece of the Grand Central mining claim which they shared with Hank Williams and John Oliver. The Schieffelin called their claim The Contention because of the many harsh words and legal fights over the legality of Williams and Oliver&#39;s claim. In early 1880, Gird lined up buyers for their interest in the Contention which they sold for $10,000. It would later yield millions in silver. They also sold a half-interest in the Lucky Cuss, and the other half turned into a steady stream of money. Later in 1880, Al and Ed Schieffelin sold their two-thirds interest in the Tough Nut for $1 million each to capitalists from Philadelphia, and sometime later Gird sold his one-third interest for the same amount. Al Schieffelin used a portion of his wealth to build Schieffelin Hall.</p><br>
<p>King Solomon Lodge #5, one of five founding Masonic Lodges in Arizona, was organized upstairs in the Masonic Hall on March 14, 1881. Justice of the Peace Wells Spicer, who figured prominently in exonerating the Earps and Doc Holliday of murdering Cowboys during the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral, was the first Master of the lodge.</p><br>
<h2>Construction</h2><br>
<p>The main entrance on Fourth Street is 119 ft long and 59 ft long. The adobe walls are 16 in thick. Overall, the building is 40 ft tall. The main entrance is a 12 ft high and 30 ft long that gives access to the 39 by auditorium with a seating capacity on the main floor of 450, and a gallery capacity of 125. The stage is 30 by. The curtain width of the stage is 24 ft wide and 21 ft high. The scenery loft is 16 ft high.</p><br>
<p>The building facing Fremont Street is 59 ft long has a secondary entrance. The first story is 14 ft high and 30 ft deep. The second story is 16 ft high and contains a 27 by Masonic Hall with three small ante-rooms.</p><br>
<h2>Restoration</h2><br>
<p>Investors from Detroit, Michigan, led by attorney Harold O. Love, bought the O.K. Corral, along with The Tombstone Epitaph, the Crystal Palace Hotel, and Schieffelin Hall in 1964.</p><br>
<p>Schieffelin Hall hadnt been maintained since 1917, and in 1963 it was restored and renovated by Historic Tombstone Adventures, which was formed to preserve many of the towns landmarks. On October 15, 1966, it was placed on the National Register of Historic Places, and in 1979 Historic Tombstone Adventures deeded it to the city. During 1990-1994, portions of the exterior were restored, the foundation was stabilized, window frames were replaced, and the outside was painted. In 1999, the adobe walls were repaired, the lobby and auditorium floors were refinished, and the rear of the building was covered with a metal roof. In 2015, the Arizona Department of Transportation undertook a project to replace sidewalk in a three-block area in front of the historic Schieffelin Hall and to rebuild a porch on the front of the building that has been missing for many years. The restorers manufactured 300 bricks using original techniques to match the original construction.</p><br>
<h2>Current uses</h2><br>
<p>Al Schieffelin&#39;s great-niece Mary Schieffelin Brady reopened the hall in 1964 and it remains an attraction in Tombstone. It is the largest standing adobe structure in the southwest United States.</p><br>
<p>Sierra de Nava Alta or Sierra de la Nava Alta is a mountain range in the Valdejalón comarca, Aragon, Spain, located west of the A-121 road, between Fuendejalón and Ricla and east of Tierga and Mesones de Isuela.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The ridge&#39;s highest summits are Peña de las Armas (1154 m), Buitrera de Valdearcos (994 m) and Monegre (922 m).</p><br>
<p>The Santuario de la Virgen de Rodanas is located in the Sierra de Nava Alta, about 12 km to the west of Épila town. The road to the sanctuary from Épila is not paved.</p><br>
<p>These mountains are covered with low and mostly sparse maquis shrub, with some juniper, Carrasca (Quercus ilex) and pine trees. They suffered intense exploitation in the past, with overgrazing by cattle and excessive firewood gathering.</p><br>
<p>The W.R.C. Hall is an historic building located in Iowa Falls, Iowa, United States. Built in 1898, the building has segmented arched windows and a bracketed metal cornice, which are features of the Italianate style.</p><br>
<p>W.R.C. stands for the Womans Relief Corps, which was created to serve the needs of American Civil War veterans, widows and orphans. The local group was organized as the Payne Post #48 in 1886. They organized such events as Easter programs, entertainment, oyster suppers, flower sales and they cared for veterans graves. As their numbers declined the W.R.C. deeded the building to the American Legion, who eventually deeded it to the city of Iowa Falls. They sold it to a local person and it has been used as a commercial building.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.</p><br>
<p>The Derby Racecourse Roman settlement was the third settlement in Derby or Derventio was a small town in the Roman province of Britannia. It lies 600m east of Derventio fort in Little Chester, on the outskirts of Derby, in the English county of Derbyshire. The Roman road from Derventio to Sawley on the River Trent passes the settlement. It is a scheduled National Monument.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The first Roman fort in the area was built on the opposite bank of the River Derwent at Strutt&#39;s Park. It was replaced about AD 80 by a fort at Little Chester, but this only lasted about forty years, then decommissioned. The fort was later re-occupied and re-used for a further twenty five years then unoccupied until the late 3rd century when a stone wall was built around the town.</p><br>
<p>There is evidence of extensive Roman activity in Little Chester.</p><br>
<p>Derby Racecourse Roman settlement site was founded around AD 90. It is considered by English Heritage to be an import example of a fort-vicus. This was a civilian settlement attached to a Roman military fort- in this case Derventio. It is a mark that the Cornovii tribesmen were accepting the Roman way of life and integrating themselves into the Roman economy- i.e. Romanisation.</p><br>
<p>Pottery kilns have been discovered dating from AD90 to the mid second century when ironworking took place. The jug illustrated was fired at this settlement and is now in Derby Museum. There was also a large cemetery with five stone mausolea.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>This part of Britannica was occupied by a tribe known as the Cornovii. In AD 46-47 the Roman Army under the direction of governor Aulius Plautius had probably occupied the lands to the south of the River Trent, so in AD 50 this was the front line. There is a shortage of written documentation about these years so reliance is made on archaeological excavations. Late in 47 the new governor of Britain, Ostorius Scapula, began a campaign against the tribes of modern-day Wales, and the Cheshire Gap. During these times Strutt&#39;s Park Roman fort, was one of the new forts built along the new supply road from Wroxeter to Rossington.</p><br>
<p>The campaign to conquer the Silures continued under the governor Quintus Veranius and his successor Gaius Suetonius Paulinus but by now Strutt Parks rôle was to maintain the peace. Around AD 74, the lands north of the River Mersey became unstable, when Queen Cartimandua had to ask for Roman assistance to fight off a rebellion. Then in AD78, Gnaeus Julius Agricola, made famous through the highly laudatory biography of him written by his son-in-law, Tacitus, was made governor. He consolidated the forts, improved the road infrastructure and led some now well documented campaigns- firstly in AD78, he reconquered North Wales, then in AD79 he conquered the Brigantes and Parisi taking all of Northern England up to the present Scottish border. Strutts Park fort was vacated in AD 80 when Derventio was built.</p><br>
<p>The Emperor Hadrian visited Britannia in AD120 and ordered his wall to be built. Though Britannia always had a large garrison, focus now changed to industrial production. Derby produced pottery and had access to the lead mining to the north in the Peak District, later it became a centre for metalworking. This continued for the next 200 years.</p><br>
<h2>Excavations</h2><br>
<p>The site was excavated between 1968 and 1983.</p><br>
<p>Sierra de Cucalón is a 25 km long system of mountain ranges in Aragon, Spain, located between the comarcas of Jiloca and Cuencas Mineras.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>These mountains are part of the Iberian System and are often covered with snow in the winter. Rivers Huerva and Martín have their source in these ranges.</p><br>
<p>The Ermita de la Virgen de Pelarda is located in the Pelarda range, close to Olalla.</p><br>
<h3>Subranges</h3><br>
<p>Two main ranges run parallel to each other, the northern one is Sierra de Oriche, also known as "Las Rochas", and the southern one, smoother and covered with forest, as Sierra de Pelarda or Sierra de la Pelarda (also known as "Sierra de Fonfría" after the town of Fonfría in its central section) extending eastwards as Sierra Pedregosa.</p><br>
<p>This whole system of mountain ranges is named after the town of Cucalón, located at the western end.</p><br>
<p>The ridge&#39;s highest summits are Pelarda (1,517 m), in Sierra de Pelarda, and La Modorra (1,478 m), located at the NW end of the Sierra de Oriche. Other important summits are El Marujal (1,486 m), Cerro del Ortigal (1,429 m), Alto del Puerto de Fonfría (1,501 m), La Rocha (1,340 m) and La Retuerta (1,492 m). All main peaks are inconspicuous except for La Modorra.</p><br>
<h2>Ecology</h2><br>
<p>The Sierra de Pelarda mountains are covered with forest made up pine, Carrasca (Quercus ilex), cork oak, and juniper trees. There are many endangered species living in these relatively uninhabited mountains, far from human intervention.</p><br>
<h2>Features</h2><br>
<p>Thordarhyrna  is one of seven subglacial volcanoes beneath the Vatnajokull glacier Iceland.</p><br>
<h2>Eruptions</h2><br>
<p>It last erupted in 1910 and prior to that in 1903.</p><br>
<p>An eruption in 3550 BC +/- 500 years poured out 150,000,000 cubic meters of lava in the area Bergvatnsarhraun to the south of Thordarhyrna.</p><br>
<p>An eruption 1887 to 1889 eruption had a (VEI) of 2</p><br>
<h2>Geology</h2><br>
<p>There is a mechanical interaction between Thordarhyrna and Grimsvötn, despite these volcanoes being relatively far apart, so the eruption in 1902 - 1904 was combined with an eruption from Grimsvötn and had a Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) of 4</p><br>
<p>A fault runs (N.35°W) from Thordarhyrna towards Hamarinn, and separates two different tectonic regions.</p><br>
<p>The Gray–Watkins Mill or Gray&#39;s Mill is a historic structure in Montgomery, in the USA state of Illinois. The building was an early turbine mill on the Fox River, and was later used as an automobile parts manufacturer. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Gray–Watkins Mill is located on the southeast corner of River and Mill Streets in Montgomery. Built in 1853, its original purpose was as a water-powered turbine flour mill on the Fox River. It operated until 1916, when ice in the river destroyed the dam. Electricity allowed the mill a replacement power source until it shut down in 1922. For the next several decades, the mill stood empty. In 1945, Ernest Anfinsen purchased the building to manufacture automotive parts. The building was again abandoned following Anfinsen&#39;s death in 1971. It was acknowledged as a historic site by Montgomery and nearby Aurora and was renovated in 1976. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 17, 1979.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The mill is rectangular in shape, with an asphalt shingle gable roof. It stands four stories stall (plus a loft) and is supported with 15 columns per floor. The main entrance is on the west side, which also features a concrete dock. An oak board porch with a wood shake roof was later constructed on top of this dock. Additional doors are found on the north side (added in the 1950s) and the east side (where the mill race used to be, now covered in concrete). There is a total of 43 windows, most of them 6 x. A storage until beneath a dormer houses supplies and machinery for the elevator, which is no longer in use.</p><br>
<p>Inside, the main staircase is on the west side of the building, altered to comply with modern building codes. A wrought iron bannister was also added from a demolishing project from Chicago. The interior walls were originally stone, but were covered with cement and plaster some time during its manufacturing years. During the 1976 restoration, insulation, drywall, and furring was added. The main level features a cherrywood floor. New light fixtures were added in the 1976 renovation.</p><br>
<p>Sierra Carrascosa is a mountain range in the Maestrazgo comarca of Aragon, Teruel Province, Spain. The highest point in the range is Muela Carrascosa . The Guadalope River flows along the NW side of the range.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>This 14 km long rocky range is located at the eastern end of the Iberian System and, like neighboring Sierra de Garrucha is characterized by very tight folds.</p><br>
<p>Close to its northeastern end there is a very striking red rock formation known as El Guerrero Romano, "The Roman Soldier". It is a spectacular sight, very visible from A-226 road between Bordón and Castellote.</p><br>
<p>Villarluengo and Bordón are the most important towns in the vicinity of this range.</p><br>
<p>The range is named after the Quercus coccifera spiny oak (carrasca).</p><br>
<p>The 2011 eruption of Grímsvötn was an eruption in Grímsvötn, Iceland&#39;s most active volcano, which caused disruption to air travel in Northwestern Europe from 22–25 May 2011. The last eruption of Grímsvötn was in 2004, with the previous most powerful eruptions in 1783, 1873 and 1902. The Grímsvötn eruption was the largest eruption in Iceland for 50 years.</p><br>
<h2>Timeline</h2><br>
<p>The eruption is estimated to have started under the glacier at around 17:30 UTC on 21 May 2011 when an intense spike in tremor activity was detected. At around 19:00 UTC, the eruption broke the ice cover of the glacier and started spewing volcanic ash into the air. The eruption plume quickly rose to 65,000 ft. A series of small earthquakes had commenced at the time of eruption. Glacial flooding was anticipated, which normally occurs within 10–12 hours after eruption, but it never occurred as a flood had occurred the previous autumn, meaning a smaller chance of another flood appearing.</p><br>
<p>On 25 May, the Icelandic Meteorological Office (IMO) confirmed the eruption had paused at 02:40 UTC. Later the BBC reported that the volcanic activity appeared to have stopped. At 15:00 the IMO issued an update stating that no further ash plume was expected. Pulsating explosions continued to produce ash and steam clouds, some reaching a few kilometers in height, rising up from the vents. There was widespread ash in cloud layers up to 5 km from the eruption site.</p><br>
<p>On 26 May the IMO and the University of Iceland reported that ashfall was only occurring adjacent to the eruption site. Visual observations indicated that little ice meltwater was produced during the eruption, so that an outburst flood (jökulhlaup) was not expected.</p><br>
<p>The eruption ceased at 7am on 28 May 2011.</p><br>
<h2>Ash characteristics</h2><br>
<p>The ash content from the Grímsvötn volcano in Iceland had a much lower silica content (50%) compared to the ash from the 2010 eruptions of Eyjafjallajökull (63%), giving the latter a higher viscosity. The ash emitted from Grímsvötn is also more coarse than the smaller, more abrasive particles emitted from the Eyjafjallajökull eruption as a result of the basalt-based magma of the Grímsvötn volcano exploding through the glacier, rather than reacting with meltwater.</p><br>
<h2>Effect on flights</h2><br>
<p>A total of 900 flights (out of 90,000 in Europe) were cancelled as a result of the eruption in the period 23–25 May.</p><br>
<p>On 22 May, Iceland closed down its main airport Keflavík International Airport, with domestic flights cancelled (operated from Reykjavík Airport) as well. Transatlantic flights had also experienced delays, and the threat of further air travel disruption cut US President Barack Obamas state visit to Ireland a day short. Part of Greenlands eastern airspace was also closed, with one flight being cancelled by Air Greenland between Denmarks Kastrup Airport and Greenlands Kangerlussuaq Airport.</p><br>
<p>By 23 May, authorities in Denmark closed airspace below 4 mi in the northwestern part of the country, with some delays and cancellations at Copenhagen.</p><br>
<p>On 24 May, more than 1,600 flights were grounded as ash clouds travelled over Scotland, with airports in Scotland and northern England closed and 250 UK flights grounded. British Airways, KLM, Aer Lingus, Flybe, BMI, Loganair, Eastern Airways, Easyjet, and Ryanair cancelled most flights in the Scotland region, seeing Wales Cardiff Airport also cancelling inbound and outbound flights by airline Flybe. Certain flights from Northern Ireland were also grounded. The BBC has provided a list of affected flights to and from Irish airports. By nightfall, 20 flights had been cancelled to and from Göteborg Landvetter Airport, with anticipated wind shift bringing the ash clouds from southwestern Sweden to the northeast, possibly reaching Stockholms Arlanda Airport by 02:00 on Wednesday morning. Furthermore, Continental Airlines Flights 75 and 97 (from Hamburg and Berlin Tegel to Newark Liberty) had to make stopovers at Gander Airport, Newfoundland, to refuel as they were assigned more southerly routes that exceeded the Boeing 757-200s&#39; range.</p><br>
<p>On 25 May, Germany also shut down airports in the north of the country, specifically Bremen Airport and Hamburg Airport at 03:00 and 04:00 CET, while Berlin Airports were closed from 09:00 CET. 600 flights were affected in Germany, however the closure was lifted by the afternoon.</p><br>
<p>By 26 May no European airspace was closed due to Grímsvötn volcanic ash, which was dissipating.</p><br>
<p>However on 27 May Greenlandic airspace was closed due to a concentration of ash over Greenland and the North Atlantic, affecting 1,000 passengers and 20 tonnes of cargo. The following day, certain flights had been restored with a Dash 8 taken out of service for technical issues, leaving minor disruptions to restored services. Ash clouds also remained over the region of Uummannaq and Upernavik, meaning northern-bound flights were still subject to weather developments. By Sunday 29 May, more flights and services had been restored, with few passengers stuck in coastal regions with arrivals expected on Monday or Tuesday.</p><br>
<h2>Effect on locals</h2><br>
<p>Kirkjubaejarklaustur was one of the most affected areas by the volcano. The Icelandic civil defence agency Almannavarnir established a service centre to organise cleanup efforts and provide a point of contact for people who need help. During a local public meeting on the 26th, residents were permitted to claim for losses and additional costs for those who possess household fire insurance.</p><br>
<h2>Health effects outside of Iceland</h2><br>
<p>A study based on mortality data from Sweden found that there was an increase in mortality in the week following the ash cloud passing over Sweden the 24th and 25 May 2011, but the results were not statistically significant.</p><br>
<h2>Effect on markets</h2><br>
<p>Trading on jet fuel recovered as concerns on the volcano eased, causing the June swap contract to gain $18.30 to reach $1,019.14 per metric tonne by 16:15 GMT, after having reached a week low of $995.64 on Monday. Jet fuel barges on the Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp hub had dropped to $989 on Monday, dropping from $1,003 per ton on 20 May. June jet fuel cargo swaps dropped to $93.15 per metric tonne on Tuesday compared to $99.45 on Monday trading.</p><br>
<p>Sierra de San Just  is a mountain range in the Cuencas Mineras comarca of Aragon, Teruel Province, Spain. The highest point in the range is San Just . This range is located in one of the coldest and most rugged regions of Aragon.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Landslides are relatively frequent in the San Just mountains.</p><br>
<p>Besides the mountain ranges, the Plains of Visiedo (Llanos de Visiedo) near Visiedo, the Altos del Zancado, and the area surrounding Ejulve, are all part of the Sierra de San Just geographic zone.</p><br>
<p>Road N-211 crosses the range at Gargallo and skirts the mountainsides of the chain.</p><br>
<h2>Mining</h2><br>
<p>There are lignite deposits in the Sierra de San Just range. The Utrillas mines were exploited since ancient Roman times.</p><br>
<p>The Oneida Stake Academy was a secondary school operated by the Oneida Stake of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints  from 1888 to 1922. The academy building was constructed in Preston, Idaho, in 1895, after the stake headquarters moved from Franklin, Idaho, in 1889.</p><br>
<p>Among its alumni were Ezra Taft Benson and Harold B. Lee, both of whom were later presidents of the church. Medal of Honor recipients Mervyn S. Bennion, Leonard Brostrom and Junior Van Noy also attended the school.</p><br>
<p>Following the emergence of the LDS seminaries and better-equipped public schools, the LDS Church decided to close its system of secondary academies. In 1922, the Oneida Stake Academy was dissolved, although the public school system continued to use the building until 1990.</p><br>
<p>In 2003, the building was moved using funds raised by the Mormon Historic Sites Foundation to a new site called Benson Park that had been donated by the LDS Church.</p><br>
<p>The Sturgeon House is a saltbox house dating from around 1838 in Fairview, Erie County in the USA state of Pennsylvania. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. The Sturgeon House is operated as museum by the Fairview Area Historical Society.</p><br>
<h2>Design</h2><br>
<p>The Sturgeon House is located at the intersection of Water Street and Avonia Road (Pennsylvania Route 98). The house is a rare example of a saltbox house in northwestern Pennsylvania, as well as a house with a recessed side porch. The house is constructed of "stone foundation walls and topped with heavy timber sills which are notched to receive log form beams." The roof of the house is slanted at an angle of 30 degrees. The front door is framed by a cornice and Federal-style entablature and pilaster.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Jeremiah and William Sturgeon were the earliest settlers of what is now Fairview Township, who acquired land from the Pennsylvania Population Company in 1797. The Sturgeons operated "coach stops and taverns" in the area for travelers after the first road was cut from Erie to Cleveland, Ohio in 1805. They founded the community of Sturgeonville, which eventually became Fairview. The house was built around 1838 by Samuel C. Sturgeon and is one of several built by the Sturgeons. The southern addition of the house was possibly constructed in the early 1850s. The Sturgeon House was sold to the Fairview Area Historical Society in 1979 by a descendant of the Jeremiah Sturgeon. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 10, 1980.</p><br>
<p>The Chicamacomico Life-Saving Station  is a former station of the United States Life-Saving Service and United States Coast Guard. It is located in Rodanthe, North Carolina, on Hatteras Island in the Outer Banks, on the east side of what is today Highway 12. Today, the surviving buildings of the station form a museum.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>After the USA Life-Saving Service and the United States Revenue Cutter Service merged in January 1915 to create the USA Coast Guard, Chicamacomico became a USA Coast Guard facility. Under Coast Guard control, it remained active until 1954. After its decommissioning the facility was transformed into a museum.</p><br>
<p>The CLSS is perhaps best remembered for the 1918 rescue of the British tanker Mirlo. Forty-two crew members of the Mirlo were saved by station personnel. Numerous accolades and awards were bestowed upon the 6 life-savers including gold medals in their honor presented by King George V of the United Kingdom and the Grand Cross of the American Cross of Honor. To date only eleven Grand Cross of the American Cross of Honor awards have been bestowed in the history of the United States with six being bestowed upon the members of the CLSS.</p><br>
<p>The USA Post Office, now known as the Springer Cultural Center, is a historic government building located at Randolph and Church Streets in Champaign, Illinois. Built in 1905, the building originally served as Champaign&#39;s post office. The office of Supervising Architect James Knox Taylor designed the Beaux-Arts building. The brick building features extensive limestone and terra cotta ornamentation. The front facade has four pairs of Ionic pilasters separating the entrance and two sets of windows. A frieze reading "UNITED STATES POST OFFICE" and a dentillated cornice run above the pilasters. A balustrade runs along the front edge of the roof; a large scrolled cartouche marks the center of the balustrade. In 1966, the post office was converted to a federal building.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>
<p>It was deeded to the Champaign Park District in 1991.</p><br>
<p>The Huerva River is a river in Aragon, Spain. It is a tributary of the Ebro . Its mean annual discharge is only 67 hm3.</p><br>
<h2>Course</h2><br>
<p>This 128 km long river rises in the Sierra de Cucalón, near Fonfría in the Jiloca Comarca. Flowing northwestwards near Lagueruela and Villadoz, it increases its size near Villarreal de Huerva when it is joined by the Arroyo de Villalpando. Then it flows northeastwards past Mainar, Cerveruela, Vistabella de Huerva, Tosos (formerly Alcañiz de la Huerva), Villanueva de Huerva, Muel, Cuarte de Huerva, Cadrete and María de Huerva until its waters reach the Ebro at Zaragoza.</p><br>
<h2>Ecology</h2><br>
<p>The Huerva is relatively little polluted in its upper course, hence endangered species like the Austropotamobius pallipes crayfish and fishes like Barbus haasi, Rutilus arcasii and Chondrostoma toxostoma are to be found in its waters.</p><br>
<p>The United States Post Office, located at 1701 Charleston Ave., is the former main post office of Mattoon, Illinois. The post office was constructed in 1913 by Mangnus Yeager & Son, a building company from Danville, Illinois. The building was designed in the Classical Revival style and features Renaissance Revival influences; James K. Taylor was the Supervising Architect for the building. The front of the building features seven arches in front of a portico containing the entrance, which is located at the top of a marble staircase. The three central arches are topped by a carved frieze, and marble cartouches separate each pair of arches. The building served as Mattoon&#39;s post office from its construction until 1980, when a new post office opened.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<p>The Museum District, alternately known as West of the Boulevard, or the Upper Fan, is a neighborhood in the city of Richmond, Virginia. It is anchored by the contiguous six-block tract of museums along the west side of Boulevard, including the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts and the Virginia Historical Society, hence the name.</p><br>
<p>It is roughly bounded by the Boulevard on the east, I-195 on the west, Monument Avenue and Broad Street on the north, and Carytown on the south. Much of that is listed as a historic district on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>Parts of the area had been in active use as farmland into the late 19th century, and though part was notably used as a Civil War veteran&#39;s home at that time, it was primarily developed between 1895 and 1940. It is largely populated with townhouses in styles from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Though much of the district is residential, there are several schools, religious facilities, and other institutional uses throughout.</p><br>
<p>Dog Island is a small island, situated on the Gambia River in the Republic of the Gambia about 13 kilometres from the mouth of the river to the Atlantic Ocean. The area of the island is less than 3.5 hectares. During low tide the island is connected to the mainland, but during high tide it is separated by about 150 metres from the headland of Dog Island Point on the north bank of the river. The island is named after the sound made by the resident baboons, which from a distance sounds like dogs barking.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The first European known to land on the island was Alvise Cadamosto, a Venetian captain in the service of the Portuguese Prince Henry the Navigator in 1456, who named the island Ilha de Santo André, on account of a deceased crew member named "André" who they buried there. (In 1651, colonists from the Duchy of Courland built a fort a little upriver on what is now called Kunta Kinteh Island and was then called "St. Andrews island&quot evidently, Cadamosto&#39;s name got transferred from Dog island to Kunta Kinteh island sometime in the interim.)</p><br>
<p>In 1661, the English captain Robert Holmes arrived on behalf of the Royal African Company to establish an English presence in the Gambia river (and, less explicitly, to eject the Courlanders from the area). Holmes built the first English installation, a small fort on Dog island, which he named Charles Island, after King Charles I of England. It was abandoned in 1816, with the erection of another fort on St. Mary&#39;s Island (now Banjul island). Dog Island served as a quarry for the construction of Banjul, and has remained uninhabited since.</p><br>
<p>Currently, tourists are occasionally ferried from Banjul to Dog Island to observe the dolphins swimming in the Gambia River estuary.</p><br>
<p>Velestino  is a town in the Magnesia regional unit, Thessaly, Greece. It is the seat of the municipality Rigas Feraios.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>It is situated at 120 m elevation on a hillside, at the southeastern end of the Thessalian Plain. It is 17 km west of Volos and 40 km southeast of Larissa. Velestino has a train station on the local line from Larissa to Volos. The Motorway 1 (Athens - Larissa - Thessaloniki) passes east of the town. The Greek writer and revolutionary Rigas Feraios was born in Velestino in 1757.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Velestino is built on the site of ancient Pherae. The ancient settlement is still atested in early Byzantine times, but was apparently abandoned following the Slavic invasions of the 7th century.</p><br>
<p>The current settlement appears with its current name—probably of Slavic origin—for the first time in 1208, in a letter by Pope Innocent III mentioning its Frankish ruler, Berthold of Katzenelnbogen. In it was part of the jurisdiction of the Latin bishop of Gardiki, Bartholomew (Cardicensis episcopus et Valestinensis). At about the same time, it became a Greek Orthodox episcopal see as well, being attested thereafter in episcopal lists and acts of the Patriarchate of Constantinople. In 1259 an imperial estate (kouratoria) is attested in the area, as part of the province (thema) of Halmyros; by the 1280s, Velestino itself is listed as a separate thema. Very few traces remain of the medieval town today.</p><br>
<p>Under the Ottoman Empire, Velestino was called Velestin and was the seat of a kaza within the Sanjak of Tirhala.</p><br>
<p>With the rest of Thessaly, Velestino was ceded to Greece in 1881 by the Convention of Constantinople.</p><br>
<p>The Battle of Velestino was fought here during the Greco-Turkish War of 1897.</p><br>
<p>Lobo, also known as El Lobo, Cabezo del Lobo, Cerro del Lobo and Mojón del Lobo, is a 630 m high mountain in the Campo de Belchite comarca, Zaragoza Province, Aragon, Spain, located about 3 km to the south of Belchite and 2 km east of Almonacid de la Cuba.</p><br>
<p>This hill is named after the wolf (lobo), for there were wolves in the area until the 19th century.</p><br>
<p>Lobo Hill is arid and desolate-looking. It is barely covered with low and sparse clumps of dryland vegetation. There is a triangulation station at the top marked "LOBO" in large letters.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>There was much military activity in and around this arid mountain both in 1809 during the Peninsular War and again in 1937-1938 at the height of the Spanish Civil War, during the Battle of Belchite (1937). The top of the hill commands an excellent view of the Campo de Belchite.</p><br>
<p>The holes and tunnels from where the Spanish Republican artillery positions fired towards what is now Belchite old town have been preserved and are open to visitors.</p><br>
<p>There is also a broadcasting station with a large antenna on top of the hill.</p><br>
<p>The Big Traverse Bay Historic District is a historic district located east of Lake Linden, Michigan at the mouth of the Traverse River. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in and designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1975.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The site on which the Big Traverse Bay Historic District now stands was originally a logging camp owned by the Hebard Lumber Company, dating from the last two decades of the 19th century. A substantial number of Finnish emigres moved into the area, working in the lumber, mining, or fishing industries. By 1920, Big Traverse Bay had developed into a primarily fishing community. in the 1950s, construction of a breakwater and changes to the harbor resulted in the demolition of a number of houses, as well as a footbridge across the river. The community remains an active, and relatively isolated, fishing community.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Big Traverse Bay is a small Finnish fishing community located on a peninsula and adjacent mainland at the mouth of the Traverse River on Lake Superior. The community includes approximately 40 small, single-story, gable-roofed houses with aluminum siding an undeveloped yards. Vintage gasoline pumps, net reels, cedar shake-covered fishing buildings, ice houses and saunas are still in use.</p><br>

<h3>Alice Pike Barney Studio House</h3><br>
<p>Designed by Waddy Butler Wood in 1902, the former studio house of Alice Pike Barney is an example of Spanish Colonial Revival architecture. It was used by Barney until her death and her daughters Natalie Barney and Laura Dreyfus-Barney held the house until 1961.</p><br>
<h3>Smithsonian Institution</h3><br>
<p>In 1961 the Barney women donated the house to the Smithsonian Institution. In 1976 it was opened as part of the National Museum of American Art to be used as a house museum. After more than 14 years the building had succumbed to significant structural damage. Since it would cost more than $2 million to renovate the house, the building was closed and the building and its furnishings were put up for sale.</p><br>
<p>The Friends of Alice Pike Barney Studio House was incorporated in 1993 to buy the house and pay for its renovations. Alice Pike Barney: Her Life and Art, written by curator of the house, Jean L. Kling was the subject of a book party to raise funds in 1994. The same year, the association attempted a working relationship with the Smithsonian Institution to preserve the building. Unable to raise sufficient funds, the house was listed for sale by the Smithsonian Institution in 1999 and the following years attempts to have the building zones for use as a School of Arts. Its ownership was passed to the Latvian government in 2001, with the intention of hosting events in memory of Alice Pike Barney and her art.</p><br>
<h3>Embassy of Latvia</h3><br>
<p>The renovated house is used as a residence for the Latvian ambassador and an embassy.</p><br>
<h3>National Register of Historic Places</h3><br>
<p>In addition to being listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the building is a contributing property to the Sheridan-Kalorama Historic District and Massachusetts Avenue Historic District.</p><br>
<p>The Minor Sod House, also known as Minor Post Office, near McDonald, Kansas, is a sod house that was built c. 1907.</p><br>
<p>It is one-story building with a gabled rectangular section about 48 by with 2 ft sod brick walls, plus a 16 by wood-frame lean-to section, all covered by a corrugated, galvanized metal roof. The exterior is cement and stucco in the two sections.</p><br>
<p>It was used as the first post office of Minor, Kansas, with first postmaster Tom Minor. A grocery store built by Minor not far away then served as the post office, then it returned to the soddy when the grocery store closed, until the post office itself closed in November 1920.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the USA National Register of Historic Places in 2005. It served historically as a single dwelling and as a post office.</p><br>
<p>The Wallace W. Waterman Sod House near Big Springs, Nebraska, United States, is a sod house built in 1886. It was modified in 1925 for continued use, including a layer of concrete being applied to the exterior walls. It was listed on the USA National Register of Historic Places in 1995. The listing included two contributing buildings, the second being a small outbuilding from 1925.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Wallace W. Waterman and his wife, Libby King Waterman moved to Nebraska&#39;s High Plains region from Pennsylvania. They built the 25 X 29 foot house in 1886 at the southern end of a settlement known as Day, Nebraska. The house was divided into 3 rooms and had two foot wide walls. Of the three other houses in Day, one was constructed of stone, one was wooden, and the last was also constructed of sod. The settlement also had a Methodist church, a school, a post office (from 1890-1903), and a few businesses. No traces of Day or these other buildings survive except for the Waterman house. Modern grain storage facilities are located immediately west of the house, across Day Road. Otherwise cropland surrounds the house for miles around.</p><br>
<p>In 1925 the house was modified by Virgil and Helen Burke Waterman to prevent deterioration of the sod walls. A gable roof was added with the loft being divided into two bedrooms. A 10 X 16 foot porch and a cistern were added to the southern side and the walls were covered in concrete. A cellar was dug beneath the kitchen. The improvements did not include running water, but the kitchen was equipped with a hand pump for water and a modern stove.</p><br>
<p>Members of the Waterman family lived in the house until 1989. In 1993 the house was donated to the Deuel County Historical Society with the provision that it be used for historical or educational purposes.</p><br>
<p>A roadside historical marker describing the house is located nine miles south of the house in Big Springs.</p><br>
<p>In 1994 the Nebraska Historic Buildings Survey knew of 14 other extant sod houses in the High Plains</p><br>
<p>region. All but one had their exterior walls covered with stucco or concrete for protection. Only four were still being used as residences.</p><br>
<p>The Andrew Crockett House, also known as the Crockett-Knox House, is a property in Brentwood, Tennessee, United States that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places  in 1988.</p><br>
<p>It was built or has other significance in c. 1800, 1821, and c. 1847. The house was built by Andrew Crockett, an early settler. It includes Greek Revival architecture.</p><br>
<p>According to a 1988 study of Williamson County historical resources, the house was built by 1799 and was enlarged later (c. 1850). Crockett received the 640 acre land grant from North Carolina for his Revolutionary War services.</p><br>
<p>This house is one of five log buildings built during 1798 to 1800, during the earliest settling of the area, which survive to today. Others, also NRHP-listed, are: the William Ogilvie House, the David McEwen House, the Daniel McMahan House, and the William Boyd House.</p><br>
<p>The Green Shutter Hotel is a historic hotel building located in downtown Hayward in Alameda County, California, United States. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004, and is on the California Register of Historical Resources.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The building was constructed in 1920 and was first used as a hotel after a large addition in 1926. It is currently used commercially, and houses the Green Shutter Hotel (a single room occupancy) on the second floor, with retail businesses on the ground floor, including The Bistro, a pub and music venue, and The Book Shop, an independent bookstore and the only bookstore in Hayward.</p><br>
<p>In 2017, the interior of the second floor of the building was largely gutted, shutting down the residential hotel. Some ground floor businesses are still operating. The building is intended to reopen as apartments.</p><br>
<p>The Masonic Hall in Long Beach, Mississippi, also the former home of Southern Star Lodge No. 500, F&AM and the Hancock County Bank Building, is a historic building that was designated a Mississippi Landmark in 2008.</p><br>
<p>The building was built in approximately 1926 as the second branch of Hancock County Bank.</p><br>
<p>In 1942, the building was purchased by members of the Southern Star Lodge No. 500 F. & A.M. The Masonic lodge used the buildings second floor as a meeting hall until 1960 (when it moved to a new location) and leased the first floor as post office. The building also was used for a time as Long Beachs public library.</p><br>
<p>In November 1998, the Long Beach Historical Society placed its first historical marker in front of the building, which was identified at the time as the oldest commercial building on the city&#39;s main street, Jeff Davis Avenue.</p><br>
<p>In the late 1990s, the renovated building reopened as a coffee and pastry shop known as "The Old Bank," with the old built-in safe still intact. In 2001, the shop was renamed "Bankhouse Coffee" and has been operated under that name since that time by Shawn Montella. The proprietors of the coffee shop also roast their own coffees in a 1906 Royal Roaster at the shop. The coffees roasted at the site are sold commercially under the brand name "Coast Roast."</p><br>
<p>Small Prespa Lake  is a lake shared between Greece  and Albania . It is the smaller of the two Prespa Lakes.</p><br>
<h2>Details</h2><br>
<p>Small Prespa Lake in particular has been recognized as an important wetland ecosystems favoring breeding and feeding of rare water bird species. It is best known for hosting the largest breeding colony of the Dalmatian pelican in the world. The flora in the region is composed of more than 1,500 plant species of which 146 endemic species in the Lake Ohrid and 39 endemic species from the Prespa Lakes.</p><br>
<p>The villages surrounding the lake are Agios Germanos, Laimos, Milionas, Platy, Kallithea, Lefkonas, Prespes, Karyes, Mikrolimni, Oxia, Pyli and Vrontero.</p><br>
<p>During 1970 significant amounts of water from the Devoll river was diverted into the lake with the intention to use it latter during the summer time for the irrigation purposes. Due to the high suspended solids in the river water significant siltation did occur on the Albanian side. The practice has recently stopped. The Albanian part of this lake has a surface of 420 hectares. In 1999 the Society for the Protection of Prespa received the Ramsar Wetland Conservation Award for its conservation efforts regarding the Lake Prespa Ramsar site.</p><br>
<h2>Agios Achilleios</h2><br>
<p>Small Prespa Lake contains the island of Agios Achilleios (Saint Achilleus); in February 1948, in the midst of the Greek Civil War, Nikos Zachariadis, the General Secretary of the Communist Party of Greece, married Roula Koukoulou, his long-time lover, on this island, in a widely publicized ceremony.</p><br>
<p>Located on the island of Agios Achilleios is also the Basilica of Saint Achillius of Larissa. It is an example of the survival of Early Christian architectural style in the Byzantine period. Agios Achilleios was also an early capital of Bulgarian ruler Samuel in the 10th century. The island became a tourist and fishing centre in the 1970s.</p><br>
<p>The present Angmering Baptist Church and its predecessor building, known as Church of Christ, are respectively the current and former Baptist places of worship in Angmering, a village in the Arun district of West Sussex, England. Baptist worship in the area can be traced back to 1846, when the "strangely towered" Church of Christ was founded and built. After the Gothic-style chapel became unsuitable for modern requirements, the congregation acquired a nearby barn and converted it into a new church, after which the old building was sold for residential conversion. The church has been designated a Grade II Listed building.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The village of Angmering developed at the heart of a large inland parish near the ancient town of Arundel. The Dukes of Norfolk, owners of Arundel Castle, also held Angmering Park—"a richly wooded demesne of great beauty". The parish had three medieval churches, but only St Margaret&#39;s Church (originally the church of West Angmering) survives; those at East Angmering and Barpham had fallen into dereliction by the 16th century. A railway station served the village from 1846.</p><br>
<p>Protestant Nonconformism thrived in Sussex from the 17th century. Although denominations and movements such as Strict Baptists, General Baptists, Presbyterians, Quakers, Methodists and the Countess of Huntingdons Connexion were particularly successful in East Sussex, many congregations and chapels were also founded in the west of the county, which was also a stronghold of Roman Catholicism. George Robert Paul, a Worthing resident and the son of Sir John Dean Paul, 1st Baronet, founded a church with the name Church of Christ at the south end of Angmering village in 1846. Despite its name—suggestive of a link to the Restoration Movement—it was Baptist from the beginning. Paul was both its superintendent and its owner, and the chapels first minister John Adams was also based in Worthing. The building was registered for public worship on 7 January 1847.</p><br>
<p>Paul still owned the chapel himself as a proprietary chapel until 1906, when a group of 14 trustees bought it for £325. The alternative name Angmering Chapel was also used later. A connection with Worthing resumed in 1923, when the chapel began to be served as a "preaching station" by ministers from the Worthing&#39;s Christchurch Road Baptist Church, which opened in 1881 and helped to establish or administer several Baptist chapels in the area. This arrangement continued until 1966.</p><br>
<p>By the 1960s, the building was no longer suitable for the requirements of modern worship as access was poor and there were few facilities. In 1967, Sir Herbert Janes, an Angmering resident who had founded and headed a civil engineering firm, helped find a site for a new church. A disused barn near the old chapel was available. Janes helped to pay for its purchase and conversion into a place of worship. Like the original chapel, this had a capacity of 150. The first service at the new Angmering Baptist Church was held on 4 July 1970. Its membership was recorded as 87 in 1985. Extensions were added in 1984 (a church hall), 1994 (to the church building itself) and 2005 (a new entrance). The former chapel was sold for restoration and conversion into two houses; the former graveyard forms the garden of one of them, and the headstones were moved to the new church.</p><br>
<p>Administratively, the present church is part of the West Sussex Network of the South Eastern Baptist Association. Other churches in this network are at Aldwick, Arundel, Bognor Regis, Broadwater, Chichester, Durrington, East Worthing, Ferring, Findon Valley, Goring-by-Sea, Littlehampton, West Worthing and Worthing.</p><br>
<p>Under the name The Former Baptist Church, the former Church of Christ building was designated a Grade II Listed building on 20 September 1984.</p><br>
<p>The present Angmering Baptist Church is licensed for worship in accordance with the Places of Worship Registration Act 1855 and has the registration number 72227. On 21 July 1970 it was licensed for solemnising marriages according to the terms of the Marriage Act 1949, and the old chapel&#39;s licence was simultaneously cancelled.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The old chapel is a "strangely towered" Gothic Revival building of flint with red-brick quoins and window surrounds. Its most distinctive feature is the tall four-storey rectangular tower at the west end—an unusual architectural feature for a Baptist chapel. The tower has one pointed-arched lancet window on each storey and a pyramid-shaped slate spire. The rest of the roof is also laid with slate.</p><br>
<p>The body of the building is a single storey high. Its two casement windows are set in brick-dressed pointed arches. The entrance is set in a gabled porch. An extension built in the late 19th century stands on the northwest side. The chapel stands on high ground overlooking the adjacent road, and is only accessible by steps from the road.</p><br>
<p>The Tsiv-Gombori  or Gombori  is a mountain range in the Georgian section of Greater Caucasus mountains. It is located in the province of Kakheti, eastern Georgia, and stretches to the distance of 107 km, with the highest mountain being at 1.991 m above sea level.</p><br>
<p>The Gombori range serves as a watershed, separating the Alazani and Iori river valleys, thereby dividing Kakheti into two traditional regions: inner (Shida) and outer (Gare). The slopes of the range are traversed by several smaller river gorges. The Alazani passes through the mountain range affecting the overall climatic conditions in the region. Mariamjvari Nature Reserve is located in the southern side of the range. Both northern and southern slopes are home to pine forests.</p><br>
<p>Tsiv-Gombori has been mentioned in media reports as a possible location for the US radar station for anti-ballistic missile systems which could provide surveillance of activities in Iran and up to the territory of India.</p><br>
<p>Sierra de la Virgen is a mountain range in the Aranda and Comunidad de Calatayud comarcas, Aragon, Spain. It is located south of the Moncayo Massif between the valleys of the Jalón and the Aranda rivers, rising north of the N-234 road, roughly between Calatayud and Torrelapaja.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The ridge is aligned in a NW-SE direction. Its highest point is Cabrera (1,433 m); other important summits are Virgen de la Sierra (1,413 m), Cucuta (1,300 m), San Cristóbal (1,264 m), Pico de Morés (1,186 m) and Monte de la Lezna (1,173 m). The adjacent Sierra de Vicort stretches east of Sierra de la Virgen in the same direction.</p><br>
<p>The name of this mountain chain derives from the Santuario de la Virgen de la Sierra, a Virgin Mary shrine located in the heights of the mountain range, about 22 km to the north of Villarroya de la Sierra town.</p><br>
<p>These mountains are mostly covered with low maquis shrub and they have been repopulated with pine since the 20th century. The Sierra de la Virgen is often subject to wildfires in periods of prolonged drought. Native trees include juniper and Carrasca (Quercus ilex), among others.</p><br>
<p>There are other smaller mountain chains named "Sierra de la Virgen" in Spain. One is in Ciudad Real Province, part of the Montes de Toledo, and the other is located in Córdoba Province, Andalusia.</p><br>
<p>The Sherwood Green House is a property in Nolensville, Tennessee, United States, that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988. The property is also known as WM-194.</p><br>
<p>It was built c.1810 and had significant developments also in c.1840, and c.1928. It includes Central passage plan and other architecture. When listed the property included four contributing buildings, one contributing site, and two non-contributing structures, on an area of 8 acre.</p><br>
<p>Like the John Motheral House and the William Leaton House (also NRHP-listed in Williamson County), the house was built as a single story log pen building, and was later enlarged to achieve an "imposing" two story frame construction.</p><br>
<p>Sherwood Green was a surveyor who was paid in land for his services. Green came to own more than 1,000 acre in the area.</p><br>
<p>Wolf Creek is a 19.8 mi tributary of the Great Miami River in southwestern Ohio in the United States. It rises in western Montgomery County, northwest of Brookville, and flows generally southeast, passing through the center of Trotwood and joining the Great Miami in downtown Dayton.</p><br>
<p>Wolf Creek was named for the frequent wolves seen there in pioneer days.</p><br>
<p>It was one of the streams that flooded during the Great Dayton Flood of 1913, resulting in the creation of the Miami Conservancy District.</p><br>
<p>Sycamore Woods State Park, the only state park in Montgomery County, lies along Wolf Creek. The 3,000 acre park offers horseback riding, hiking, hunting, and group camping.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>*Mouth: Confluence with the Great Miami River in Dayton</p><br>
<p>*Origin: Clay Township, Montgomery County</p><br>
<h2>Other streams</h2><br>
<p>The U.S. Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) lists 16 streams named Wolf Creek in Ohio.</p><br>
<p>The Thomas L. Critz House, built c.1887, is a historic Italianate style house in Thompsons Station, Tennessee that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.

<p>According to a 1988 study of Williamson County historical resources:Outside of Franklin, relatively few large brick and frame residences were built in the county. Notable exceptions include the Italianate style John Hunter House and Andrew Vaughn House. The Owen-Cox House on Moores Lane was also remodeled into an Italianate design during this period. One of the most significant houses built in the county after the war was the Y.M. Rizer House constructed on Del Rio Pike. Built ca. 1875, the house is a combination of Italianate and Second Empire detailing and is unique in the county. Important Italianate design frame dwellings built in the 1870s include the Henry Pointer House, Jordan-Williams House, the James Wilhoite House and the Thomas Critz House.</p><br>
