<p>The James Wilhoite House is a historic Italianate style house in Allisona, Tennessee, United States, that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988. The property is also known as the Reed Corlette House. It was built, remodeled, or has other significance in, and.</p><br>
<p>It includes Italianate architecture. When listed the property included two contributing buildings and three contributing structures, on an area of 1.4 acre.</p><br>
<p>According to a 1988 study of Williamson County historical resources, it is one of a handful of notable, historic Italianate style residences in the county, others being the John Hunter House, the Andrew Vaughn House, the Owen-Cox House, the Y.M. Rizer House (c. 1875, a combination of Italianate and Second Empire design), the Henry Pointer House, the Jordan-Williams House, and the Thomas Critz House.</p><br>
<p>Enmore Castle is a historic building in the village of Enmore, Somerset, England. It is a Grade II listed building.</p><br>
<h2>Construction</h2><br>
<p>Enmore was the seat of the family of William Malet who built a great house, although the original date of construction is uncertain. The house passed to Elizabeth Malet who married John Wilmot, 2nd Earl of Rochester. In 1664 it included a hall, chapel and 20 hearths. The building was still standing in 1727.</p><br>
<p>It was bought at some time before 1751 by John Perceval, 2nd Earl of Egmont who over the next five years erected the first version of the present castle. The building consisted of a square surround an inner court which was 86 ft by 78 ft. The surrounding walls had square towers at the corners and semicircular turrets on each of the sides including around the doors, all were topped with battlements. Much of the building, including the offices and stables, were underground and accessed via the dry 40 ft wide moat which was entered by a tunnel from the park. There is some evidence of a drawbridge over the moat and Stew ponds. It included an armoury, music and picture galleries, a library, and a state dining room. The rooms were hung with tapestries which, after their sale were hung at Combe Sydenham and subsequently in the Bridgwater council chamber. The house received the dismissive mockery of Horace Walpole.</p><br>
<h2>19th century</h2><br>
<p>The Percevals were forced to sell the castle in 1833 to pay off debts. It was bought by Nicholas Broadmead, a solicitor with shares in the Parrett Navigation Company and the Ivelchester and Langport Navigation, who demolished a large proportion of the building the following year, converting the remaining parts of the building into a three-storeyed house.</p><br>
<h2>20th century</h2><br>
<p>The castle once again underwent major change in 1930 when H. H. Broadmead demolished even more of the old building.</p><br>
<p>The remaining portion is now divided into two dwellings, however the undercroft survives.</p><br>
<p>It is close to the Church of St Michael which has 13th-century origins but the present building is largely from the 15th century, and Enmore Park Golf Club which was built on some of the parkland which was attached to the estate.</p><br>
<p>The Paniai Lakes, originally known as the Wissel Lakes, consist of the three large, freshwater lakes Paniai, Tigi, and Tage. They are located in the Paniai Regency in the central highlands of West Papua province, Indonesia. The largest of the three is Lake Paniai , while its immediate neighbor Lake Tage is the smallest.</p><br>
<h2>Discovery</h2><br>
<p>Despite their considerable size (Lake Paniai alone is larger than Lake Como), they were not known outside New Guinea until 1937. On 31 December 1936, the Dutch navy pilot Frits Julius Wissel, just weeks after first-ascending the highest mountain of New Guinea, and his crew flew over the lakes while making an aerial survey for the Dutch New Guinea oil company. He took photos and noticed many people in canoes, establishing that this mountainous region was populated. During a follow-up flight by E.L.J. Haak on 15 February 1937, it was established that there were many settlements around the lakes, indicating a thriving agricultural society. In November of that year, the Dutch Indies government named the group of lakes after Wissel. A small Dutch outpost was established here in 1938, but contact was cut off during the Second World War.</p><br>
<h2>Recent history</h2><br>
<p>The region of the Paniai Lakes, consisting of a depression between the Weyland and Sudirman ranges, is heavily populated. The indigenous peoples of this area are the Ekagi, also called the Me. Around the year 2000, as part of the Papua conflict ongoing since 1963, the surrounding forests were burned down by the military so that they could not harbor separatists. This resulted in increased sedimentation of Lake Paniai, and in 2011 the lake overflowed, flooding the surrounding area with up to 4 meters of water.</p><br>
<h2>Ecology</h2><br>
<p>There are few fish in the lakes, but the Paniai gudgeon (Oxyeleotris wisselensis) is endemic to the lake system. The common carp (Cyprinus carpio), Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) and Mozambique tilapia (O. mossambicus) are non-natives that have been introduced by humans.</p><br>
<p>In contrast to the low fish diversity, there is a very high diversity of Parastacid crayfish of the genus Cherax. Of the eight species known from the lake system, two (C. longipes and C. solus) are endemic Lake Tigi, five (C. boschmai, C. buitendijkae, C. murido, C. pallidus and C. paniaicus) are endemic to Lake Paniai, and a single species (C. communis) is found both in the lakes and the surrounding area.</p><br>
<p>Nyalam Tong La or Yakrushong La is a Mountain pass in China on the Matsung Tsangpo-Phung Chhu watershed divide where the Friendship Highway connecting Kathmandu, Nepal and Lhasa, Tibet crosses at 5,150 m elevation.</p><br>
<p>Originally called Yakrushong La and Kuti Pass by Nepalese traders, the pass is currently generally known as Nyalam Tong La ("pass from which Nyalam is visible"), or simply Tong La, although the original Tong La pass lies further east on the traditional Tingri-Nyalam trade route. About 11 km north, the Friendship Highway crosses another pass 5,050 m Lalung La which is not a significant watershed divide.*</p><br>
<p>From the Matsang Tsangpo-Phung Chhu divide, the Matsang flows directly south into Nepal where its name changes to Sun Kosi. North of the divide Men Chhu flows northeast into the Phung Chhu (or Bum Chhu in Tibetan; Peng Qu in Chinese) which flows east to 87d40E where it combines with other streams and turns south to cut a deep valley between the Mahalangur (Mount Everest) and Kanchenjunga sections of the Himalaya. As it crosses into Nepal its name changes to Arun.* Sun Kosi and Arun are both counted among the Kosi Rivers seven notable Himalayan tributaries.</p><br>
<p>Nyalam Tong La also separates the Jugal and Labuche sections of the Himalaya. The Jugal section to the west includes 8,013 meter Shishapangma while the less famous Labuche (or Lapche) section to the east includes 7,367 meter Labuche Kang.</p><br>
<p>The Jordan–Williams House is an Italianate style house in Nolensville, Tennessee that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<p>It was built or has other significance as of c.1855, and includes Central passage plan and Italianate architecture. When listed the property included one contributing building, one non-contributing building, and two non-contributing structures, on an area of 10 acre.</p><br>
<p>According to a 1988 study of Williamson County historical resources, it is one of a handful of notable, historic Italianate style residences in the county, others being the James Wilhoite House, the John Hunter House, the Owen-Cox House, the Y.M. Rizer House (c. 1875, a combination of Italianate and Second Empire design), the Henry Pointer House, the Andrew C. Vaughn House, and the Thomas Critz House.</p><br>
<p>The property is denoted as Williamson County historic resource WM-197.</p><br>
<p>The Marcus Curtiss Inn is a historic house and post office located near Galena in Genoa Township, Delaware County, Ohio, United States. A native of Connecticut, Curtiss moved to present-day Genoa Township in 1808, becoming the first settler in the area, along with his family, his brother&#39;s family, and a third family who also moved from Connecticut. Here, he established himself on 681 acre of land and began to farm; part of his land was very clayey, and Curtiss decided to start a brickworks on the site. Although he left home to serve in the War of 1812, he returned to modern Delaware County after the war and resumed construction on the present house.</p><br>
<p>Curtiss was a pioneering member of local society in multiple ways due to his new building: besides being the first brick house in the area, it was the township&#39;s first post office and one of the first inns. He designed the structure with a simple floor plan: measuring two-and-a-half stories tall, the building is laid out as a rectangle with a simple arrangement of rooms. The present building was completed in 1822.</p><br>
<p>To the present day, the Marcus Curtiss Inn remains in use as a private residence. In late 1976, the inn was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, both because of its historically significant architecture and because of its place in local history.</p><br>
<p>The British Ambassador&#39;s residence in Washington, D.C. is located at 3100 Massachusetts Avenue, Northwest, Washington, D.C. in the Embassy Row neighborhood.</p><br>
<p>It was commissioned in 1925, and designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens in 1928. It is an example of Queen Anne architecture. The embassy was the only building Lutyens designed in North America. Frederick H. Brooke, the on-site American architect, assisted with the design and oversaw the construction of the embassy, which was conducted by noted developer Harry Wardman.</p><br>
<p>The home is a contributing property to the Massachusetts Avenue Historic District, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>Its 2009 property value is $31,308,480.</p><br>
<p>There are about 10,000 visitors each year.</p><br>

<p>The French ambassador&#39;s residence in Washington, D.C. is located at 2221 Kalorama Road, N.W., in the Sheridan-Kalorama neighborhood of Washington, D.C.</p><br>
<p>It was designed by Jules Henri de Sibour in 1910, the building is a combination of Tudor Revival and Jacobean Revival styles of architecture. It is designated as a contributing property to the Sheridan-Kalorama Historic District, which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<p>The home was completed for the Lawrence family of Philadelphia in 1911, who owned a lead paint manufacturing company. In 1917 it was sold to the mining magnate John Hays Hammond. The French took ownership in 1936, and used it as the French ambassadors residence since then. The Chancery was located nearby until the mid-1980s, on Belmont Road.</p><br>
<p>A full technical renovation has been executed from 2014 to 2015.</p><br>

<p>The Swetland House is a historic residence in London, Ohio, United States. Built in 1871,</p><br>
<p>Jeriah Swetland passed through London in 1843 and settled there permanently in 1856. Founding a business with his brother-in-law, he quickly prospered; within a decade, he had become one of the city&#39;s richest men. In the late 1860s, he purchased a large tract of undeveloped land southeast of downtown London and platted it for resale; among the houses built in this area was his own, which was completed in 1871. Built of brick with an asphalt roof, the house features many clear Italianate elements, such as multiple bay windows, a hip roof, multiple verandahs, and ornate hoodmolds. Two-and-a-half stories tall, the house is divided into fourteen rooms.</p><br>
<p>For a time in the late twentieth century, the Swetland House was used as an arts center, the London Community Arts Center. In early 1983, the house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying because of its connection to a leading local citizen and because of its distinctive historic architecture.</p><br>
<p>Les Combarelles is a cave in Les Eyzies de Tayac, Dordogne, France, which was inhabited by Cro-Magnon people between approximately 13,000 to 11,000 years ago. Holding more than 600 pre-historic engravings of animals and symbols, the two galleries in the cave were crucial in the re-evaluation of the mental and technical capabilities of these prehistoric humans around the turn of the last century.</p><br>
<p>Formed by an underground river, the cave is approximately 300 m long with an average width of 1 m.</p><br>
<h2>Discovery</h2><br>
<p>Long used as a stable by local peasants who regularly found Magdalenian artifacts in the cave, the cave and its content remained unstudied by scientists for a long period. It was officially discovered in September 1901 by pre-historians Denis Peyrony, Abbé Breuil, and Louis Capitan. The entrance of the cave and the right-hand gallery had already been excavated by Émile River between 1891 and 1894. Abbé Breuil described 291 drawings divided into 105 separate sets — a discovery he himself called an "enormous firecracker in the world of prehistory".</p><br>
<h2>Human presence</h2><br>
<p>Radiocarbon dating of bones found in the cave indicate the cave was inhabited by Cro-Magnon people 13,680–11,380 years before the present. During that period, these people produced hundreds of drawings on the sandy cave walls, traces of dye suggesting the engraved drawings were originally coloured.</p><br>
<p>Scientists have identified 600–800 drawings of isolated animals and undecipherable tectiforms (i.e. upward-pointing wedges) in the cave. Horses appear most frequently in these drawings — isolated, in herds, and together with other animals — but the reindeer are famous for their naturalistic appearances — some of them drawn as if drinking water from the river flowing through the cave. Other animals include cave bears, cave lions, and mammoths.</p><br>
<p>The Burntwood River is a river in northeast Manitoba, Canada between the Churchill River and the Nelson River. Outsiders may know it as the river that passes through Thompson, Manitoba. It is over 200 mi long and flows mostly east to join the Nelson River at Split Lake, Manitoba.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Near its headwaters around Burntwood Lake, the Kississing Portage connects it to the Churchill River. The route was used by lighter Indian canoes to carry the rich Athabasca furs to Hudson Bay or, by going up the Nelson, to the posts on Lake Winnipeg. The route was not much used by voyageurs partly because there was more Pemmican further south. Just south of the Burntwood, the Grass River, which also ends at Split Lake, was a parallel canoe route. In 1790 the Hudsons Bay Company built Lakes House at the mouth of the Burntwood. In 1793 David Thompson (explorer) followed a large part of the Burntwood. In 1825–26 George Simpson (administrator) tried to use the Burntwood as a direct route from York Factory to the Pacific, but the experiment was abandoned. Today it forms part of the Churchill River Diversion. The Wuskwatim Dam and Generating Station west of Thompson are expected to be completed in 2012.</p><br>
<p>The New York State Pavilion is a historic worlds fair pavilion at Flushing Meadows–Corona Park in Flushing, Queens, New York. The New York State Pavilion was designed in 1962 for the 1964 New York Worlds Fair by architects Philip Johnson and Richard Foster, with structural engineer Lev Zetlin.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The pavilion consists of three components of reinforced concrete and steel construction: the "Tent of Tomorrow", Observation Towers, and "Theaterama". Note: This includes</p><br>
<p>The Tent of Tomorrow is elliptical in plan, and its sixteen 100-foot reinforced concrete piers once supported the largest cable suspension roof in the world. The main floor of the Tent was a large scale design of a Texaco highway map of New York State, made of terrazzo. An idea floated after the fair to use the floor for the World Trade Center didn&#39;t materialize.</p><br>
<p>The Observation Towers are three concrete towers, with the tallest at 226 ft high. The towers have observation platforms which were once accessed by two (now-removed) "Sky Streak capsule" elevators attached to the tallest (western) tower. The southern tower has a platform height of 85 ft and the northern tower is at 160 ft.</p><br>
<p>Theaterama was originally a single drum-shaped volume of reinforced concrete. Additions to the original structure were made from 1992 to 1993 and from 2008 to 2009. The Theaterama is home to the Queens Theatre, a performing arts center which produces and presents theatre and dance, as well as children&#39;s and cultural programming.</p><br>
<h2>After the fair</h2><br>
<p>The New York State Pavilion was one of two pavilions retained for future use; the other one was the United States Pavilion building. No reuse was ever found for the USA Pavilion however, and it became severely deteriorated and vandalized; it was ultimately demolished in 1977.</p><br>
<p>The New York State Pavilion was used for TV and movie sets, such as an episode of McCloud; for The Wiz; part of the setting (and the plot) for Men in Black; and the centerpiece for the Stark Expo in Iron Man 2.</p><br>
<p>It was also the venue for rock concerts, as part of the Singer Bowl Festival in 1969, which included the Grateful Dead, Joe Cocker, Santana and other headline groups of the era (see for poster ads). It was also the filming location in 1987 for the video clip for the debut single by They Might Be Giants, Dont Lets Start.</p><br>
<p>In the decades after the fair closed, it was an abandoned and badly neglected relic, with its roof gone and the once bright floors and walls almost faded away. Once the red ceiling tiles were removed from the pavilion in the late 1970s, for safety reasons, the terrazzo floor was subject to the elements and was ruined. In 1994, the Queens Theatre took over the Circarama adjacent to the towers, and continues to operate there, using the ruined state pavilion as a storage depot.</p><br>
<p>For the 50th anniversary of the Worlds Fair, on Tuesday morning, April 22, 2014, the long-shuttered New York State Pavilion was opened to the public for three hours. Because of the pavilions state of decay, visitors were required to wear hardhats. The event was hosted by the New York State Pavilion Paint Project and NYC Parks. A larger than expected crowd turned out, upwards of five thousand people, to get the rare glimpse inside the Tent of Tomorrow. That same day, the National Trust for Historic Preservation also named the Pavilion as one of its. The message was clear that many would like to see the structure preserved.</p><br>
<h3>Restoration plans</h3><br>
<p>Some conservation and restoration efforts were demonstrated in 2008 by researchers from the University of Pennsylvania, and a handful of local groups are advocating to raise funds to complete the restoration of the terrazzo floor. The pavilion was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.</p><br>
<p>In the fall of 2013, New York City&#39;s Department of Parks and Recreation announced plans to restore the pavilion with new landscaped paths and event spaces at an estimated cost of $73 million, as opposed to the $14 million cost to demolish the structure.</p><br>
<p>Renewed interest was shown in the pavilion&#39;s restoration in early 2014, the 50th anniversary of its opening.</p><br>
<p>In July 2014, the pavilion received about $5.8 million for restoration. The New York Mets also donated some money for the preservation effort. However, the pavilion was damaged the same month by arsonists.</p><br>
<p>In May 2015, the New York Structural Steel Painting Contractors Association, in conjunction with the New York City Parks department and members of the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades (District Council 9, Local 806), announced a project to repaint the rusty steel framework of the Tent of Tomorrow. After testing paint chips, the color "American Cheese Yellow" was selected as the best match for the original color. The majority of the labor was done by union trainees, and materials were supplied by the contractors, constituting a $3 million donation. All work was completed by August 15 of 2015.</p><br>
<h2>Cultural references</h2><br>
<p>The Pavilion is the subject of a documentary film titled Modern Ruin: A World&#39;s Fair Pavilion produced by filmmaker and teacher Matthew Silva. The documentary premiered on May 22, 2015, in the Queens Theatre which was formerly the theaterama, the third component of the New York State Pavilion.</p><br>
<p>In March 2016, People For the Pavilion and the National Trust for Historic Preservation launched an international ideas competition to allow the public to reimagine possibilities for what the pavilion could become.</p><br>
<p>The Eanger Irving Couse House and Studio—Joseph Henry Sharp Studios, also known as the Couse/Sharp Historic Site, is a property on the USA National Register of Historic Places. It includes the home and art studio of E. Irving Couse  and two studio buildings owned by Joseph Henry Sharp , both founding members of the Taos Society of Artists. It was added to the NRHP on September 28, 2005.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>E. Irving Couse, who studied art in New York and Paris, was introduced to Taos by fellow artist Ernest Blumenschein in 1902. He became part of the Taos artist colony and bought the house on Kit Carson Road in 1909. A wing was added to the house for Couses studio and his wife developed a noteworthy garden. Following E. Irving Couses death in 1936, no more changes were made to the house and it remains much as it did when Couse lived there, which made it "the significant building to survive from the early days of the Taos art colony."</p><br>
<p>Prior to Couses purchase of the house in 1910, it was owned by parish priest Gabriel Ussel in the 1860s; He operated a boys school from the house. Prior to Ussel, the house was owned by James Quinn, who in the 1850s was a scott captain serving under Kit Carson. The house was originally built by Pedro Luna in 1839.</p><br>
<p>Having spent some summers in New Mexico and having grown to appreciated the area, in 1909 Joseph Henry Sharp purchased a former Penitente chapel in Taos near the home of E. Irving Couse for use as a studio. He then built a two-story house with studio near the chapel</p><br>
<p>The site open to the public by appointment.</p><br>
<p>The Nicolai Fechin House in Taos, New Mexico, is the historic home of the Russian artist Nicolai Fechin, his wife Alexandra and daughter Eya. After purchasing the house in 1928, he spent several years enlarging and modifying the two-story adobe structure, for instance, enlarging the porch and adding and widening windows to take advantage of the views. He carved many of the fittings of the house and its furniture, using typical Russian design elements such as "triptych windows and intricately carved doors." The whole reflects a modernist sensibility combined with Russian, Native American and Spanish traditions.</p><br>
<p>The Fechins divorced in 1933, after which Alexandra stayed at the house until her death in 1983. Eya returned to Taos in the 1970s and began restoration of the house. She opened it to visitors beginning in 1981, under the auspices of the Fechin Institute, which she founded in her father&#39;s memory.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the USA National Register of Historic Places on December 31, 1979. After Eya Fechin&#39;s death in 2002, the house passed to her daughter and son-in-law. They sold it to a foundation, which established the house museum and the Taos Art Museum.</p><br>
<p>The William O. Munsell House in southeast Portland in the USA state of Oregon is a 1.5-story single dwelling listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Built in an eclectic mixture of Bungalow, American Craftsman, and Colonial Revival styles in 1902, it was added to the register in 1989.</p><br>
<p>Situated on the western edge of a proposed Buckman Historic District, the Munsell House features large pedimented gable dormers facing the cardinal points. The oval window in the facade dormer includes ornamental keystones, also facing the cardinal points, in the manner of many Colonial Revival structures. Houses similar to this one were built throughout southeast Portland from about 1900 through 1926.</p><br>
<p>The home&#39;s interior has four rooms on the main floor and three on the second floor. Interior features include an open staircase with turned balusters, pocket doors, dual fireplaces in the living and dining rooms, and an oriel window.</p><br>
<p>Munsell, the homes original owner, lived in it for two years before selling it to Henry B. and Ellen Adams. Born in Indiana, Munsell moved to Portland in 1896. Starting as a clerk for Acme Harvester, by 1932 he had become president and manager of Mitchell, Lewis and Staver, a farm-implement business in Portlands eastside warehouse district.</p><br>
<p>The Hartwell B. Hyde House, also known as Solitude, is a property in Triune, Tennessee that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places  in 1988.</p><br>
<p>Hartwell Hyde was an early settler of the Triune area. He and William Jordan arrived in 1810; Jordan&#39;s log home is the location of the Newton Jordan House, also NRHP-listed.</p><br>
<p>The Hyde House was an early plantation homes and had a flour mill and a cotton gin on the property. The Hyde plantation, with 900 acres, when owned by Mrs. E.B. Hyde, was one of a number of "productive and prosperous" antebellum plantations in the county.</p><br>
<p>The Hyde House includes Double pen, dog trot, and Italianate architecture. When listed the property included two contributing buildings on an area of 1.1 acre.</p><br>
<p>The John Herbert House, also known as Breezeway, is a property in Franklin, Tennessee, United States, that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988. A 1988 study of historic resources in Williamson County identified the Herbert house as one of the "best examples", along with the Beasley-Parham House, of double pen dogtrot houses in the county: "Both houses were built with two log pens joined by an open</p><br>
<p>breezeway or dogtrot and each pen has an exterior chimney. Both residences</p><br>
<p>had the breezeways enclosed with weatherboard siding by the end of the 19th</p><br>
<p>century. The original form and plan of the double pen dogtrot style is evident in</p><br>
<p>both residences."</p><br>
<p>It was built, remodelled, or has other significance in c.1830 and c.1910. It includes double pen and Dogtrot architecture. When listed the property included three contributing buildings on an area of 5.5 acre.</p><br>
<p>The property is denoted as Williamson County historic resource WM-152.</p><br>
<p>The Lebanon Lutheran Church in South Dakota was established by Norwegian immigrants to the Sisseton-Wahpeton  Sioux Indian Reservation. It was the first Norwegian Lutheran church in that area predating congregations in nearby Ortley and Summit. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.</p><br>
<p>In the mid-1960s, as rural populations were declining, Lebanon Church became a part of a 3-church merger with Zion Lutheran Church (Ortley) and Summit Lutheran Church resulting in the creation of Hope Lutheran Church in Summit, SD. Regular Sunday services ceased at that point, although the property continues to be maintained and is utilized periodically for special events relating primarily to the history of the church or descendants of the parishioners.</p><br>
<p>Mount Parang or Gunung Parang , is a mountain in the Purwakarta Regency of West Java in Indonesia.</p><br>
<p>Located between the two main arms of the Jatiluhur Reservoir, this andesite mountain of volcanic rock shows three distinct peaks stretching some 1.5km from north to south, the highest of which is 963m above sea-level. Its 600m cliffs, offering hard rock and scant holds, make it a popular venue for recreational rock climbers.</p><br>
<p>is "The Park" or "The Mecca" of rock climbing in Indonesia.</p><br>
<p>This mountain has become well-known in the world of Indonesias rock climbing since 1980, and it is where climbing as a sport started in Indonesia. Any rock climbers list of ascents is regarded as incomplete if he has not tried climbing and creating a new route on Mount Parang, where climbing is different from that of other big walls around the world,</p><br>
<p>since one is subjected to extremely hot and humid weather, rain, difficult rock, and a beautiful panoramic view. Mount Parang has three main peaks, better known as Tower 1, Tower 2 and Tower 3, and several other smaller peaks. Various climbing routes are available, but the more popular climbing route is "240" on Tower 2, made by Skygers, a rock climbing group from Bandung. The route "Special Forces" on Tower 3, was put up by the Indonesian Army&#39;s Special Forces. There are many other climbs in the area put up by teams from Indonesia and internationally.</p><br>
<p>The best climbing season is in the months from June to October, because it rarely rains, and does not interfere with climbing. However one cannot rule out the possibility of a weather change at any time, and patience is useful here. To climb Mount Parang, physical and mental preparation should be made, as well as the use of proper equipment and skills.</p><br>
<p>Safety considerations should be foremost, since on Mount Parang emergencies can easily arise. Mount Parang is managed and monitored by local villagers under community of with full support from the authorities of Purwakarta.</p><br>
<p>Sierra de Caballos or Sierra de los Caballos is a mountain range in the Maestrazgo and Bajo Aragón comarcas of Aragon, Teruel Province, Spain. The highest point in the range is Las Artigas . The Guadalopillo River flows along the northern side of the range.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>This arid-looking series of parallel ranges is cut by many ravines. It is located north of Castellote, at the eastern end of the Iberian System, roughly between Molinos and Berge. There are many fossils from the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods in this area.</p><br>
<p>The Ermita de la Virgen de la Peña near Berge, is in the northern side of the Sierra de Caballos. El Picuezo is an original rock formation near Molinos. The impressive Grutas de Cristal "glass caves" are located in the area of these mountains, within Molinos municipal term.</p><br>
<p>There are other mountain ranges with the name "Sierra de Caballos" in the world. One of them is in Isla de Pinos, Cuba.</p><br>
<p>Ropers Knob Fortifications were constructed by Union Army forces between February and May 1863 in Franklin, Tennessee. According to Tennessee Archaeology, "Ropers Knob served as part of a chain of signal stations that provided a communications link from Franklin to Murfreesboro. Additionally the knob had a large redoubt capable of holding four large artillery pieces, a blockhouse, cisterns, and a magazine...."</p><br>
<p>Artillery at Fort Granger, another fortification in Franklin, played a role in the November 1864 Battle of Franklin, but it is believed that Roper&#39;s Knob was not then occupied. It is nonetheless believed that artillery had at some point been hoisted into the fortification, in part on the archeological evidence of an artillery fuse found there, but was removed in 1864 when the battlefronts moved south.</p><br>
<p>The area was investigated by an archeological dig in 2000.</p><br>
<p>A letter written by a 22nd Wisconsin soldier - Herman L. Cunningham - on June 28, 1863, from atop Ropers Knob, reveals in part, "Company H, K, & G occupy a Knob about three hundred feet high, with breastworks, stockade, and 125 pounder (cannon). The rest of the Regiment is over to the other fort 3/4 of a mile from here, that and the 85th Indiana command this post." The letter header says "Ropers Knob, Franklin."</p><br>
<p>In a study of Civil War Historic and Historic Archeological Resources in Tennessee, it is noted that Winstead Hill, Fort Granger, the Carter House, and Carnton comprise the Franklin Battlefield National Historic Landmark area, but Ropers Knob is not included. The document describes criteria for listing of fortifications on the National Register of Historic Places which applied to the later Ropers Knob nomination. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000. The listing was for an area of 58.4 acre.</p><br>
<p>The Roswell Butler Hard House is a House located in Antioch, California owned by the City of Antioch, California. Roswell Butler Hard was elected as Contra Costa County Supervisor 1866-1868 and Sheriff from 1867 and 1869. He built his large two story brick house on Front  Street in 1869 from brick from Antioch&#39;s first brick factory. It was considered the nicest and most costly home in the area. It served as the meeting place for the first board of trustees for the newly incorporated City of Antioch. He was elected mayor at this meeting. After he died, the house was sold, upgraded and converted into three smaller units. But by 1979, when the City of Antioch purchased the property the house had fallen into disrepair. It is the only surviving structure built in the Italianate style of architecture during the late Victorian period. It was the first building in Antioch to be recorded on the National Register of Historic Places. The House is currently closed to the public, however there is a group that formed to help restore and preserve the house. The house still stands at 815 West First Street, across from the Antioch–Pittsburg .</p><br>
<p>Douglass-Reams House is a ca. 1828 center-hall house in Franklin, Tennessee.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988. The notability of the property was mentioned in a 1988 study of Williamson County historical resources:</p><br>
<p>The greatest number of early brick residences were built in central hall or central passage plan arrangements. In these homes the main entrance opens onto a central hallway flanked by two large rooms. Each of these rooms contains a</p><br>
<p>fireplace and often decorative Federal styls mantels. One-and one-half or two-story central hall plan residences generally have the main staircase located in the central hall. Examples of this style in the county constructed before 1830 include the William Allison House (WM-232), Newton Jordan House (WM-259), Mordecai Puryear House (WM-287) and the Douglass-Reams House (WM-540). All of these houses are noteworthy examples of this style and retain their original detailing. The Allison, Jordan and Puryear House are all of single pile or one room deep construction with rear ells or wings while the Reams House is double pile or two rooms deep and lacks a rear addition.</p><br>
<p>The Starling Childs Camp is a historic cottage on the south shore of Doolittle Lake in Norfolk, Connecticut. Built in 1923, it is significant as an idiosyncratic design of architect Alfredo S.G. Taylor. It was listed on the USA National Register of Historic Places in 1982, for its association with the architect.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Starling Childs Camp is located at the southern end of Doolittle Lake, an exclusive summer retreat area. Deerfield Road provides access to this and several other private summer properties that face the lake. The camp&#39;s main house is a 1-1/2 story frame structure set on a full-height rubble fieldstone foundation. The lake-front facade has rounded-arch openings in the basement level, one of which houses the main entrance. The upper level has a broad gable end, with a porch extending across much of the width, adorned by a pierced balustrade. Side-facing stairs provide outside access from the porch level to the ground on the right side of the facade.</p><br>
<p>The land on which the camp stands was part of a large landholding of the Benedict family, prominent farmers in northern Norfolk. In the late 19th century this area began to be developed as a summer resort area after the railroad arrived in Norfolk in 1871, and Doolittle Lake was developed as a colony of exclusive private retreats. The Childs camp was built in 1923, to a design by Alfredo S.G. Taylor, a New York City-based architect who summered in Norfolk, and eventually designed a significant number of buildings in the town. Six of Taylor&#39;s designs were for camps on Doolittle Lake, all of which exhibit the rustic elements exhibited by this one. Taylor also executed a number of other designs for the Childs family in Norfolk, including the Sports Building and the Tom Thumb House.</p><br>
<p>The Frederick W. Rockwell House is a historic house on the west side of Laurel Way in Norfolk, Connecticut. Built in 1927 to a design by Alfredo S.G. Taylor, it is a finely detailed example of Adamesque Federal Revival architecture. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 for its association with the architect.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Rockwell House stands in a residential area northeast of Norfolks central village, on the southwest side of Laurel Way just east of its junction with Maple Avenue. Its main block is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, oriented facing south, five bays wide, with a slate roof. The main facades bays are separated by two-story pilasters, which are also found at the corners. A full entablature extends above the pilasters just below the roof line. The main entrance is centered, with a Palladian window above. Its features are in a strongly Adamesque variant of the Federal Revival. It includes a number of Taylor quirks, including a dumbwaiter for hauling firewood. A gambrel-roofed servant wing extends north from the main block.</p><br>
<p>The house was designed by architect Alfredo S.G. Taylor, a New York City architect who spent many summers in Norfolk. This house is one of more than 30 buildings commissioned from Taylor in the town. It is one of the most academically correct of his Norfolk designs, although it exhibits a number of characteristic flourishes, including the use of elliptical arches.</p><br>
<p>Chandler River, a perennial stream of the Macleay River catchment, is located in the Northern Tablelands district of New South Wales, Australia.</p><br>
<h2>Course and features</h2><br>
<p>Chandler River rises on the eastern slopes of the Great Dividing Range, northeast of Armidale and southeast of Guyra, and flows generally southerly, joined by six tributaries including the Wollomombi, Oaky, and Styx rivers, before reaching its confluence with the Macleay River, south of the Cunnawarra National Park, below Table Top Mountain within the Oxley Wild Rivers National Park. The river descends 1,050 m over its 111 km course.</p><br>
<p>Within both the Cunnawarra and Oxley Wild Rivers national parks, the Chandler River passes through a number of spectacular gorges and waterfalls, including the Chandler Falls. Although not on the Chandler River, the Wollomombi Falls is located just east of the Chandler River, shortly before its confluence with the Wollomombi River. At the Wollomombi Falls lookout there are scenic gorge rim walks and a steep walking-track that descends into the Chandler River valley floor.</p><br>
<p>Elsewhere, Halls Peak camping area is situated on the banks of the Chandler River and caters for self-reliant visitors looking to experience the seclusion of remote camping in a rural setting. The trail to the camp site is very steep, descending almost 700 m. Steep sides of the trail do not have safety protection barriers. The NSW National Parks & Wildlife Service (NPWS) recommends, as a minimum, the use of high clearance low-range 4WD vehicles with a skilled experienced driver. A fee is payable and a key must be obtained at the Armidale office of the NPWS.</p><br>
<p>Chandler River is transvered by the Waterfall Way near Wollomombi.</p><br>
<p>Chandler River was named by Captain Dumaresq in honour of one of hisstockmen</p><br>
<p>On the upper reaches of the river beef cattle graze; while brumbies roam the lower reaches of the river.</p><br>
<p>The Durant House or Durant–Peterson House is a historic residence in unincorporated St. Charles Township, Illinois near St. Charles. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Bryant Durant was born in Ware, Massachusetts in 1808. He began work as a bricklayer when he was 13, but needed to leave Massachusetts in the 1830s to pursue better economic opportunity. Durant moved to St. Charles in 1837 to work at a family store. He purchased a 195 acre lot near the city to build a house in 1843. He lived in the house until 1881, when he sold it to Godfrey Peterson. Peterson repaired and remodeled the house throughout the following decade. The Peterson family owned the lot until 1934. It was sold to the Sheldon family, who sold it to the Kane County Forest Preserve District in 1964. The district voted to restore the house as a historic site, and furnished it with 19th-century furnishings. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 18, 1976 as an example of a typical modest home of the mid-19th century, and is open for free (with a suggested donation) to the public by the Preservation Partners of the Fox Valley.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The two-story house was originally built with locally fired brick, originally featuring three rooms downstairs, four rooms upstairs, and a basement. Peterson installed a wooden three-room addition on the first floor upon buying the house in 1881. The original windows were replaced sometime after 1898, but replicas of the original were installed during the restoration in the 1970s. The basement has a fieldstone wall, but its dirt floor had to be covered with concrete to accommodate a heating unit. A keeping room was added to the basement during the Peterson renovation, and now features a staircase leading to the exterior. The kitchen and the first floor bathroom are in original room with little modernization. The third original room needed to be reconstructed, as it had been remodeled to function as a garage at some point.</p><br>
<p>Benger Swamp is a wetland located on the Swan Coastal Plain, in south-west Western Australia.</p><br>
<p>The wetland is situated 2 km west of Benger, 14 km east of the coastal town of Binningup, 12 km south-west of Harvey, and 155 km south of Perth. Some 89% of the swamp is protected within the Benger Swamp Nature Reserve, while the remaining 11%, mainly in the northern part, is privately owned. It is a seasonally important site for waterbirds and is classified by BirdLife International as an Important Bird Area, with special regard to the conservation of freckled ducks and Australasian bitterns. Water levels in the swamp are controlled artificially and are managed both for waterbird conservation and for farming.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The swamp lies in a depression on the Pinjarra Plain, part of the Swan Coastal Plain. The soils are friable, dark grey loams overlying clays. To the west of the swamp are low ridges formed by wind erosion of the swamp surface when dried out in summer. Salinity measurements indicate that the swamp is a lens of fresh water overlying a saline water table.</p><br>
<h3>Flora</h3><br>
<p>Some 20% of the swamp is covered by Melaleuca trees and scrub, mainly on the northern and eastern edges. Of the four species there, Melaleuca rhaphiophylla occurs as a dense low forest up to 10 m in height, while M. viminea, M. laterita and M. scabra are shrubs. Half the swamp is covered by stands of the introduced bulrush Typha orientalis. Baumea articulata sedgeland covers about 1% of the swamp area. Flooded areas are dominated by couch grass (Cynodon dactylon) and water couch (Paspalum distichum).</p><br>
<h3>Fauna</h3><br>
<p>As well as freckled ducks and Australasian bitterns, other wetland bird species for which the swamp is an important site include the Pacific and white-faced herons, white and straw-necked ibis, swamp harrier, purple swamphen, hardhead, spotless crake, wood sandpiper, Australian reed-warbler, little grassbird and blue-billed duck.</p><br>
<p>Native mammals include western grey kangaroos and rakali. Tiger snakes are common, as are introduced animals such as foxes, cats and rodents.</p><br>
<h2>Threats</h2><br>
<p>The stands of Typha dry out during the hot-dry summers of the region, providing fuel for bushfires which destroy the Melaleucas that provide moulting and breeding habitat for freckled ducks.</p><br>
<p>Berkeley Springs Train Depot is a historic railway depot located at Berkeley Springs, Morgan County, West Virginia. The depot is a one-story, rectangular red brick building with a bell-cast, red tile roof and measures approximately 80 feet long by 20 feet wide. It features Mission Revival style details.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>It was built in 1915 by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. At its peak in the 1920s and 1930s the railroad spur was used for shipping produce and pulpwood. Up until the 1990s, the town&#39;s administrative office, municipal court and police department were housed in the depot. After that it was used as a music shop and art gallery, among other things. It is located within the Town of Bath Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001. It is owned by the Town of Bath along with the adjoining 2.1 acres acquired from CSX.</p><br>
<h2>Rehabilitation</h2><br>
<p>A group of volunteers organized in 2008 to rehabilitate the depot. In 2009 and 2010, the West Virginia State Historic Preservation Office and the Governors Office of Economic Development provided a grant to the town for initial work to repair the roof and in 2010, the WV Eastern Panhandle Regional Planning and Development Council awarded the town a $32,000 West Virginia Energy Efficiency & Conservation Grant to pay some of the cost of installation and replacement of the HVAC system and insulation. That year, extensive carpentry repair of the roof sheathing was performed and during the summer, most of the historic roof tiles were removed and stored for incorporating into a roof rehabilitation. Then, in 2011, the depot was issued a Federal Highway Administration Transportation Enhancement grant to refurbish the distinctive tile roof, restore the interior to its 1915-era look and rehabilitate some of the surrounding land. Work on the first phase of the rehabilitation, dealing with the exterior and the roof, begin in April 2015. The tiles that were removed and those that were missing were an exact match to those from 100 years ago. In 2016, the Town received a federal Transportation Alternatives grant toward design of the interior restoration; hazardous material remediation; waterproofing of the structures cellar; electrical-system and plumbing upgrades; and design of a new heating, ventilation and air-conditioning system.</p><br>
<p>Suggested uses of the structure include a welcome center for the state, county and town or a local museum that focuses on the railroading history of the town.</p><br>
<p>John Herbert Quick House — also known as "Coolfont" — is a historic home located near Berkeley Springs, Morgan County, West Virginia, US. It was built in 1913, and is a large -story mansion in the Colonial Revival style. The front facade features a two story pedimented, with a one story rounded portico topped by a balustrade. It was built by author John Herbert Quick .</p><br>
<p>In 1961 the house and about 1200 surrounding acres were acquired by businessman Sam Ashelman, who went on to establish a hotel called the Coolfont Resort in 1965. The property, including the house, was sold to a real estate developer in 2005. In 2017 the house sold to an unnamed bidder for $225,000 as part of an auction of the entire former resort property.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<p>The Spring Street Historic District encompasses surviving elements of the 19th-century commercial and surviving residential areas of Portland, Maine. Encompassing a portion of the citys Arts District and an eastern portion of its West End, the district has a significant concentration of residential and commercial buildings that survived the citys devastating 1866 fire. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Spring Street District is bounded on the south and west by Danforth and Brackett Streets. To the northwest it is bounded by a line extending from Brackett and Pine Streets, along Pine Street, across Congress Street to a point on Forest Avenue roughly midway between Cumberland and Congress Streets. To the northeast, it extends along Forest Avenue, splitting blocks to reach the junction of Spring and Oak Streets, and then running along Oak Street and across another block to reach Danforth Street. Prominent buildings from the early 19th century include the Charles Q. Clapp House, the McLellan-Sweat Mansion (now part of the Portland Museum of Art), and the 1833 Park Street Church. The former firestation housing the Portland Fire Museum is also located in the district, as is the Portland Club, located in an 1805 mansion designed by Alexander Parris. Commercial buildings in the district include the flatiron Charles Q. Clapp Block. Notable later buildings include the Italianate Victoria Mansion, built in 1860 and now also a museum. Many of the properties in the district were built during periods of prosperity before the 1866 fire.</p><br>
<p>In 1988, 7 protesters, include State Representative James V. Oliver, were arrested while trying to block the demolition of an 1857 building on Park Street. A month later, Portland&#39;s City Council passed a significantly enhanced anti-demolition ordinance which blocked the destruction of buildings in all Historic Districts unless the buildings were found to be dangerous and unusable.</p><br>
<p>Christeele Acres Historic District is a residential subdivision in Orem, Utah, built in 1943 as housing for workers at the Geneva Steel plant during World War II. The historic district includes 62 single-family houses and three duplexes. The houses were built to Federal Housing Administration  "minimum house" standards, which were considered to be the minimum size of a house necessary for a family with three persons or a family with two small children. The houses had two bedrooms and approximately 700 ft&sup2; of living space.</p><br>
<p>In May 1941, the United States government asked USA Steel to ramp up plans to build steel plants to service shipyards on the Pacific Coast. Most of the steel plants in the United States at this time were in the eastern United States, and there was not enough railroad capacity to bring all of the necessary steel westward. At the same time, a steel plant located directly on the coast would have been vulnerable to a coastal invasion, so the decision was made to build the plant inland. On February 4, 1942, the government announced plans to build the steel plant in Orem.</p><br>
<p>The construction and operation of the steel plant required several thousand construction workers, which in turn required housing. The situation in Orem was similar to that in many other cities where defense industries were located. The housing shortage was most acute in 1942, where workers flocked to cities where war production was thriving, only to find that there was not enough housing available. President Franklin D. Roosevelt established the National Housing Agency to oversee sixteen government programs that were responsible for housing. This included the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). The Federal Public Housing Authority was assigned to build the necessary public housing for the war effort, while the FHA provided mortgage underwriting.</p><br>
<p>The FHA "minimum house" program was an outgrowth of the Great Depression, when the home building industry slowed down severely and mortgage foreclosures were rising sharply. The FHA sponsored a conference targeted at reforming the home financing structure in the United States, improving the affordability of housing for the middle and lower income groups, and stimulating the homebuilding industry. In 1936, the FHA published a book, Principles of Planning Small Houses, which featured five different home patterns. The main design principle was, "providing a maximum accommodation within a minimum of means," so the floor plans omitted nonessential spaces and unnecessary ornamentation. The conference also planned labor- and time-saving construction methods, standard building codes, and basic requirements for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning, plumbing, and electrical systems. The house plans could be built with a variety of materials, such as wood, brick, concrete block, shingles, stucco, or stone. Houses could be customized by varying the external finish types, placement on the lot, or other changes, giving the neighborhood a more pleasing appearance. The experience of builders who built homes on a large scale gave rise to the trend of tract housing.</p><br>
<p>The War Production Board had jurisdiction over raw materials that could be used to produce houses, so the FHA had to justify the need for those materials. At the same time, the National Housing Agency did not want to build temporary dormitories or shanties that would end up abandoned after the war. The war workers had families and needed to be treated as civilians, not as soldiers. The FHA wanted the housing to remain as livable communities long after the war ended. During the process of negotiation with the War Production Board, tight standards were enacted, in order to reduce the amount of lumber and metal in the production process. One standard even specified how many brass keys could be made per lock. An April 1945 report noted that over 800,000 houses had been built and would remain a permanent part of the nation&#39;s housing stock.</p><br>
<p>The district is considered significant within the history of Orem, at a time when the city was evolving from a farm village into a large city with industrial and commercial development. The government programs, which produced wartime defense housing, later influenced postwar subdivision development. The National Register nomination cites its importance within social history, politics and government, industry, and military areas.</p><br>
<p>Lake Khanskoye  is a salt lake near Yeysk, in Yeysky District, Krasnodar Krai, Russia. The lake is 19 km long and 7 km wide. It has a depth of up to 1.8 meters.</p><br>
<p>A narrow spit separates it from the eastern shore of the Sea of Azov. It used to be an inlet of the sea and was connected to the Baisug Lagoon. The lake is about 12 times saltier than the neighbouring sea. In a hot summer the lake dries up exposing large deposits of mud which may be used for balneological purposes. Legend has it that one khan of Crimea liked to bathe in the lake&#39;s healing waters, hence the name.</p><br>
<p>The Khanskoye has several islets with large nestings of great cormorants and Dalmatian pelicans. The shape and configuration of the islets have been changing over the years.</p><br>
<p>Stroudwater Historic District is a historic district in the Stroudwater neighborhood of Portland, Maine. The district encompasses an important early village in the Portland area, significant as a shipbuilding and mill site established by Thomas Westbrook in 1727. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The historic center of the Stroudwater neighborhood of Portland is located on both sides of the Stroudwater River, at its mouth where it empties into the Fore River. The historic district encompasses a roughly triangular area, bounded on the northwest by a line extending along Penrith Road, the northeast by the Fore River, and the south by Garrison Street, although it extends a short way beyond Garrison on Westbrook Street. This area contains a significant concentration of houses built in the late 18th and early 19th centuries houses. It also has one of the city&#39;s early cemeteries (the oldest marked burial dating to 1739), and the Tate House, a National Historic Landmark house built in 1755 by a mast agent for the king. The area also has a number of mid-19th century houses, a remnant section of the Cumberland and Oxford Canal, and the archaeological remains of its early industrial past.</p><br>
<p>The Stroudwater area was first settled by Europeans in the 17th century, with a sawmill near the Stroudwater falls. This settlement was abandoned in the 1680s due to conflict with local Native Americans. In 1727 the area was resettled by Colonel Thomas Westbrook, who was hired as the mast agent for the government of King George II. He built some of the early roads through the area, in part to facilitate the hauling of masts to a ship landing on the river. He built an early dam and bridge across the river, as well as sawmills and gristmills, in effect establishing an early industrial village. Business flourished in the area until trade was halted by the Embargo Act of 1807 and the War of 1812, but saw a revival with the construction of the Cumberland and Oxford Canal. The canal was eventually overtaken in economic importance by railroads, and it was a railroad bridge which cut the area&#39;s wharves and shipbuilding facilities from the harbor. It has since become a predominantly residential part of the city.</p><br>
<p>The Robinson Plantation House is a historic house in Clark, New Jersey built around 1690 on territory that was part of the Elizabethtown Tract, and was once part of Rahway. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974 as Seventeenth Century Clark House. The 17th century frame house is characterized by its rubble stone foundation and massive fireplace foundation in the cellar, chamfered and carved summer beam, steeply pitched roof, crenellated chimney, diamond-paneled casement windows and broad overhanging corner pendants.</p><br>
<p>A circa 1957 addition on the back contains modern utilities and the house was occupied as a residence until 1973, after which it became the Dr. Wm. Robinson Plantation & Museum.</p><br>
<p>The Squire Hartshorne House is another home from the 17th century located in Clark.</p><br>
<p>Town of Bath Historic District is a national historic district located at Berkeley Springs, Morgan County, West Virginia. The district encompasses 218 contributing buildings, 3 contributing sites, 6 contributing structures, and 1 contributing object. It consists of the community’s central business district, along with the previously-listed Berkeley Springs State Park, a small industrial area east of the downtown, and residential areas surrounding the downtown which also contain several churches and two cemeteries. The buildings are generally two stories in height and are primarily built of brick, wood, and concrete block, and set on foundations of native limestone and brick. Located within the district boundaries are the previously listed Berkeley Springs Train Depot, T. H. B. Dawson House, the Clarence Hovermale House, the Sloat-Horn-Rossell House, and the Judge John W. Wright Cottage.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.</p><br>
<p>Mullion Island  is an uninhabited island on the eastern side of Mount&#39;s Bay, Cornwall, in the United Kingdom. It is approximately half a mile  offshore from Mullion Cove, 1 mi in circumference and the highest point is 118 ft above sea level. It forms part of the Lizard Peninsula Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is within the Mullion Cliff to Predannack Cliff Site of Special Scientific Interest.</p><br>
<p>The island was formed 350 million years ago, in a fashion similar to the mid-Atlantic ridge today, where lava flows from a split in the earth&#39;s crust, and cools rapidly to form large lumps known as pillow lava. Great black-backed gull (Larus marinus) breed on the island, along with common guillemot (Uria aalge), Eurasian oystercatcher (Haematopus ostralegus) and possibly razorbill (Alca torda). European shag (Phalacrocorax aristotelis) and great cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo) were also on the island during a visit by West Cornwall Ringing Group on 16 June 2015.</p><br>
<p>Before the First World War the Mullion pilchard seine companies posted a huer (a lookout) on the island to watch for the dark patch of a nearby shoal of pilchards. The island was previously owned by the Robartes of Lanhydrock who sold it to the Meyer family during the 1920s. The Meyers gave it to the National Trust in 1945.</p><br>
<p>The Bank of Xenia is a historic former bank building in downtown Xenia, Ohio, United States. Built in 1835, In the 1880s, the bank was a party to a lawsuit known as Xenia Bank v. Stewart, which was decided by the United States Supreme Court in 1885.</p><br>
<p>Built in a heavily Greek Revival style of architecture, upon a stone foundation, the bank is a two-story structure constructed with a rectangular plan. Located along Detroit Street in downtown Xenia, its pilastered appearance is dominated by the entrance porch, which features two columns built in the Doric order. Above the columns is a small second-story balcony, which is protected by a wrought iron railing; the frieze on the balcony&#39;s side includes both metopes and triglyphs that alternate in a classical style.</p><br>
<p>In 1973, the Bank of Xenia was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying because of its historically significant architecture. The second Xenia location to be added to the Register, following the East Second Street Historic District, it survived the devastating tornado of the following year. The building is currently occupied by Byuti 73, a beauty salon.</p><br>
<p>Ruby Peak is a thirteener on the Sierra Crest, north of Mount Mills. It is in the John Muir Wilderness and on the boundary between the Sierra National Forest and the Inyo National Forest. The eastern slope drains into Rock Creek which feeds the Owens River while the western slopes drains in Mono Creek which feeds the South Fork of the San Joaquin River.</p><br>
<h2>Climbing</h2><br>
<p>The peak&#39;s first ascent was prior to 1934 by Norman Clyde via the East Ridge, and on July 24, 1946 by Fritz Gerstaker and Virginia Whitacre made the first ascent of the West Couloir route. A grade IV, class 5.11 route, known as Technical Knockout, ascends Ruby Wall and features a large roof. It was first climbed by Richard Leversee, Kim Miller and Roanne Miller in July 1989.</p><br>
<p>The Caratacus Stone, sometimes known as the Caractacus Stone, is an inscribed stone on Exmoor in Somerset, England. It is thought to date from the 6th century, and it has been a scheduled monument since 1925.</p><br>
<p>The inscription, in Latin, appears to read, It is possible that there was more text on the stone that has weathered away.</p><br>
<p>The inscription, which can be translated as "grandson or immediate descendant of Caratacus", has led to the general opinion that the stone was probably erected as a memorial to a person who claimed the first-century British chieftain Caratacus as an ancestor.</p><br>
<p>The first mention of the stone was in 1219, when it was described in a perambulation of the Royal Forest of Exmoor as "the Langeston". In 1906 a shelter was erected over the stone, and an excavation in 1937 revealed that the stone was not associated with a burial site.</p><br>

<p>Edgewood, also known as the John Boyd House, is a historic home located at Bunker Hill, Berkeley County, West Virginia. It was built in 1839 and is a two-story, five-bay, brick dwelling with a gable roof in the Greek Revival style. The entrance features a semi-elliptical transom and sidelights. The building has a two-story rear ell. The property includes a small log slave cabin.</p><br>
<p>The house was built by General Elisha Boyd for his son John as the plantation house for the 1,400 acre Edgewood Manor plantation. During the American Civil War, John Boyd served in the Confederate Army and was captured when he visited home. He was nearly executed, but for the intervention of President Zachary Taylor&#39;s daughter, Mrs. Dandridge. Also during the war, General Stonewall Jackson camped on the lawn. Confederate General J. Johnston Pettigrew (July 4, 1828 – July 17, 1863) died in an upstairs bedroom at Edgewood after having been shot at Falling Waters during the retreat from the Battle of Gettysburg.</p><br>
<p>The Boyd family lost the house after the Civil War, but many subsequent owners maintained it. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980, as was the nearby John Drinker House, which may have served as a stop on the Underground Railroad.</p><br>
<p>is an paleoanthropological site located on Ishigaki Island of the Yaeyama Islands in Japan. Shiraho Saonetabaru is a limestone cave.</p><br>
<p>It was discovered in 2007 when plans for the New Ishigaki Airport were being developed. and three human samples were dated to between 20,000-16,000 years before present. In the ruins were also found bones from wild boar and birds (one animal bone calibrated at 12,000 BP), while during the three months in 2011 were discovered approximately 300 human bones from the stratum between 24,000-20,000 years old.</p><br>
<p>In 2015, researchers from the University of the Ryukyus and University of Tokyo succeeded in radiocarbon dating three out of five of the bones tested. The three bones yielded the following dates: (20,030 to 18,100 years BP), (22,890 to 22,400 years BP) and (24,990 to 24,210 years BP).</p><br>
<p>The investigation held between 2012 and 2016 found more than 1,000 human fragments from at least 19 human skeletons. The "No. 4" almost full skeleton was dated about 27,000 BP, being the oldest full skeleton discovered in East Asia and several thousand years older than the skeletons of the Minatogawa people. Due to skeletons posture, the site has been confirmed as the first graveyard in the Paleolithic age in Japan.</p><br>
<p>Sierra Menera is a 31 km long mountain range in the southwestern end of the Iberian System.</p><br>
<p>Administratively the Sierra Menera belongs to the Sierra de Albarracín, Jiloca and Comunidad de Teruel, comarcas of Aragon, as well as to the Province of Guadalajara, Castile-La Mancha in its western side.</p><br>
<p>The Castle of Peracense rises atop an escarpment in the southern part of the range. The place known as Mirador de la Marajosa offers ample views of the surrounding landscape.</p><br>
<p>There are aerogenerators on some of the Sierra Menera&#39;s ridges.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The main range is aligned in a NNW - SSE direction. It is not as high or conspicuous as other mountain ranges of the Iberian System. From the hydrographic point of view the Sierra Menera divides the Atlantic from the Mediterranean watershed. The eastern rivulets are tributaries of the Jiloca River, the western of the Tagus, and the northern have no exit, ending up in the Laguna de Gallocanta basin.</p><br>
<p>Sierra Menera&#39;s highest point is the 1,601 m high summit known as Monte de San Ginés; another important peak is the 1591 m high Mojón Alto.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Sierra Menera&#39;s name derives from the word for ore in Spanish language, for it has rich iron ore deposits that were exploited since ancient Celtiberian, and later also during Roman times, well until the late 20th century.</p><br>
<p>A 200 km long railway line was built by the Compañía Minera de Sierra Menera S. A. in 1903 in order to bring the iron ore to the harbor of Sagunto. This was the longest private company-owned railway line in Europe. A blast furnace facility also belonging to the company was also located in Sagunto, where a pelletizing plant and a long jetty were built in the 1970s.</p><br>
<p>The Sierra Menera range has been much scarred by environmentally unsound mining practices across the centuries. There are many tons of untreated debris and slag scattered across the range, contaminating the soil and the groundwater. Since mid 20th century, large-scale open-pit mining compounded matters, causing severe land degradation in vast mountain areas.</p><br>
<p>The Sagunto ore-processing facilities, Altos Hornos del Mediterráneo S.A., ceased their activity in 1984 and the Sierra Menera mining company went bankrupt in 1987, following which the mines and their subsidiary facilities were closed.</p><br>
<p>Massive unemployment hit the mining town of Ojos Negros after mining activity in the nearby mountains ceased. As a consequence its population went from 3000 in the 20th century to 560 in 2010.</p><br>
<p>At the time of the closure of the mines there was no official regulation forcing the mining company to repair the environmental damage caused by its activity. The Spanish Mining Law relevant at the time didn&#39;t include a provision regarding environmental impact of mining activity when it was promulgated in 1973.</p><br>

<p>Ivuhos  is one of the islands of Batanes, the northernmost province of the Philippines. The uninhabited island is located west of Sabtang Island and is separated by a deep channel nearly 2 km wide.</p><br>
<p>Ivuhos Island is small and rather low, except a hill on the south end. A coral beach before the hill on the eastern side is the only safe landing place on the island. The shores on both sides of the channel are bordered by reef. The flood tide sets southward with a velocity from 3 to 4 knots, and the ebb northward.</p><br>
<h2>People</h2><br>
<p>The island is currently uninhabited but the early survey by the USA Geodetic Survey in the early 1900s found a settlement near the south end of the island.</p><br>
<h2>Geology</h2><br>
<p>The island of Ivuhos consists entirely of coral limestone rising in steep cliffs to a height of over 60 m. These surround the island, except on the eastern side where the land rises gently from the fringe of sand dunes and small ponds around the shore, in contrast to the 300 m agglomerate cliffs of the island of Sabtang less than 2 km distant. The surface of Ibujos is gently rolling, but without any streams or definite stream valleys. This condition is partly due to the solubility of the rock which allows water to run off in underground channels, but it is also in large part an effect of the recent date of the uplift which formed the island, which has not allowed sufficient time for the streams to form valleys. The soil seems to be volcanic ash rather than limestone.</p><br>
<p>The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) classified Ivujos Island (listed as Ibahos Island) as an inactive volcano of the Philippines.</p><br>
<p>An unnamed submarine volcano is located 5 km west of Ivujos, which last erupted in 1854. The seamount rises to just 24 m below the water surface.</p><br>
<p>The Blackberry River Inn  is a colonial mansion at 538 Greenwonds Road West  in Norfolk, Connecticut. Constructed in 1763, the mansion was listed on the National Register of Historic Places under its historic name in 1984.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The first parts of what is known as Blackberry River Inn today were erected in 1763. It was extensively renovated in the 1920s according to designs of architect Alfredo S.G. Taylor, an architect from New York City who summered in Norfolk. Taylor designed a large number of works in Norfolk, and the alterations to this house were among the more ambitious of his renovation projects, leaving little indication of the original appearance. Distinctive in this example are his use of semi-elliptical arches, and the absence of a Palladian window, a feature he commonly included in renovations.</p><br>
<p>Seth H. Moseley (born October 16, 1881 in New Haven) who also owned the Collingwood Hotel in New York, NY (known as Hotel Metro today and located at 43-49 West 35th Street) was the owner of the property until his death on Dec 7, 1938. Up until 1939, the property was used as a farm and known as Blackberry River Farm. After the death of Mr. Moseley, Dorothea and James Schwarzhaupt bought the property and transformed it into an inn.</p><br>
<h2>After 1970</h2><br>
<p>On July 19, 1971 the owners Dorothea and James Schwarzhaupt sold the inn to a local corporation which modernized the property and among other changes added the swimming pool.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. The listed property included 9 acre in Norfolk and 1 acre in North Canaan. The current owners acquired the property on June 21, 1993. Today Blackberry River Inn is operated as a bed and breakfast.</p><br>
