<p>Sumaco is a symmetrical, isolated stratovolcano, that is set off from the main Ecuador volcanic axis. Its rocks are very distinct from those from most Andean volcanoes because of its lack of andesitic composition, in favour of basanite and phonolitic rock. Sumaco is heavily forested and contains a small cone in its broad summit crater. An historical eruption occurred around 1895 .</p><br>
<h2>Ecology</h2><br>
<p>Sumaco is isolated from the Cordillera Oriental by the lowland valley of the Cosanga and Quijos Rivers. There are more than 6000 species of vascular plants, including more than 90 endemic species. There are also a number of endemic animals, including toad Osornophryne sumacoensis only known from the eastern slopes of Sumaco, and robber frog Pristimantis ernesti only known from the summit of Sumaco.</p><br>
<p>Walter French Academy, also known as the Walter French Academy of Business and Technology and the Walter French Junior High School is a 3-story building located at the corner of Mount Hope and Cedar in Lansing, Michigan. The building was opened in 1996 as a charter school. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1996 the Walter French Academy reopened as the Walter French Academy of Business and Technology which included a middle and high school. About four years later, sometime between 1999 and 2000, it added a K-12 program to become the "...first local public school to offer kindergarten through 12th grade under one roof." In 2004, the school lost ties to its authorizer, Central Michigan University and was ultimately shut down that year due to financial problems.</p><br>
<p>The Ironwood Carnegie Library is a library located at 235 E. Aurora Street in Ironwood, Michigan. It is the oldest continuously operated Carnegie Library in Michigan and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The public library in Ironwood was founded in 1892, and was located in the Ironwood City Hall. In 1900, Andrew Carnegie pledged $12,000 to the city of Ironwood to build a new library, subject to his usual conditions that the town provide a building site and pledge to maintain the building. Carnegie increased his gift by $5000 in 1901. It was the first Carnegie Library built in Michigan. The library was moved into the new building in 1901</p><br>
<p>Only minor modifications have been made to the building, which still contains the original chairs, tables, and circulation desk.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Ironwood Carnegie Library is a small building constructed of brownstone and brick.</p><br>
<p>The Peña Falconera or Huevo de Morrano  is a rock formation near the village of Morrano, northwest of Somontano de Barbastro, Province of Huesca.</p><br>
<p>This rock formation is composed of a monolith with a mixture of sand and conglomerate somewhat eroded.</p><br>
<p>It is located in the Parque de la Sierra y Cañones de Guara, a few meters from the river Alcanadre and close to the "fountain de la Tamara", is also near the pine forest of Morrano where pine are that are the most southerly of all the natural park and the Alto Aragon too.</p><br>
<h2>Name</h2><br>
<p>The inhabitants of Morrano have always called the formation "Peña Falconera" because according to tradition in this area falcons were bred, and "falcon" is the word&#39;s translation into the Aragonese language. Today the nickname "Falconero" is still used by the inhabitants of Morrano.</p><br>
<p>A few years ago the stone was given a new name with the creation of the natural park. This name, "Huevo de Morrano" (Morrano egg), was created by a forester. In Spanish, the name is "Alconera Peña," although that version is used much less frequently. The name "Peña los Pacos" is also used.</p><br>
<p>The Episcopal Church of the Atonement and Parish House is a historic church building at 5751 North Kenmore Avenue in Chicago, Illinois. The Gothic Revival building was constructed in 1889 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.</p><br>
<h2>Congregational history</h2><br>
<p>In 1886 several Episcopalian families met in the Guild Hall at Bryn Mawr and Winthrop Avenues (the first commercial building in the Edgewater neighborhood then on the outskirts of Chicago), and decided that a Church should be built. By June 17, 1888, then-lawyer Frederick W. Keator held a service in the hall, and by November 1888 the group had become a mission congregation within the diocese, taking as the name of Church of the Atonement. The original Church&#39;s cornerstone was laid on November 30, 1889 at the present site (the intersection of Kenmore and Ardmore Avenues), and consecrated in June 1890. By then, Keating had left his legal practice and had become a minister, and the first-priest-in-charge of the new mission. He remained at the parish until 1896, when he accepted a call to become the first Bishop of the Missionary diocese of Olympia, Washington.</p><br>
<p>In May 1898 the Mission became a self-supporting Parish and had 120 members, and construction of the Parish House began south of the church. The Parish house was finished in 1901.</p><br>
<p>By the early 20th century, the parish had become of the leading Anglo-Catholic parishes in the county. Beginning under Rector Charles E. Deuel (1903-1914) in 1910, the original church building was enlarged to twice its capacity, since by then the parish had more than 500 members. This expansion and the 1919 expansion were under the guidance of British born parishioner J.E.O. Pridmore, who carefully maintained the English Gothic church style. The first service after the last expansion was on Easter in 1920. The parish then had 650 members, and Rector Frederick Fleming (who served from 1915-1927) would represent the Diocese of Chicago at several Anglo-Catholic conferences. Rev. Fleming would leave this parish to accept a call as rector of St. Stephen&#39;s Church in Providence, Rhode Island in 1927, and finished his career as rector of historic Holy Trinity Church in Manhattan, New York City. Meanwhile, in 1922 a new Parish House was begun and completed in 1924. Stained glass windows were added beginning in 1929, under Rector Alfred Newberry (1927-1937; who would ultimately leave to accept a call from the Church of the Advent in Boston) and finished in 1946.</p><br>
<p>Under Rector Dean Paxton Rice, the church expanded its outreach to the diverse and changing neighborhood, establishing St. Augustine&#39;s Mission to the Native American community in the nearby Uptown neighborhood. In the 1970s, the church also established a ministry to Spanish-speaking neighbors. The parish also developed a distinguished music program, including a choir which expanded under Rev. Thomas Harris to include women, and a custom-built organ.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Parishioner Henry Ives Cobb designed the original church building, including a stone tower on the northwest corner and constructing the east wall of wood to facilitate future expansion. Cobb was known for his English Gothic and Richardson Romanesque buildings, including the Potter Palmer Mansion, the Newberry Library and the Old Chicago Historical Society on Dearborn and Ontario Streets (now a nightclub). He also designed the Fisher Building.</p><br>
<p>Pridmores expansion, finished during World War I, created the current church. The roof was raised and extended 16 feet, to Kenmore Avenue, and side aisles added. Stained glass windows were added, with the final one installed at the end of World War II, and after Pridmores death.</p><br>
<p>The best example of the stained glass is the Christ the King window in the North Chapel. It has been recognized in books on stained glass in Chicago as one of the best.</p><br>
<p>On the second level of the Parish House, is the Elizabethan Room. It was brought to the United States from England in 1620. The paneling is registered with The Art Institute of Chicago and is the only authentic example of its kind in the Midwest.</p><br>
<h2>Current status</h2><br>
<p>On June 1, 2003 the Very Reverend Dean Paxton Rice retired. He had served the Parish since 1958, and as Dean of the Chicago-North Deanery from 1969-1991. His successor, Rev. John David van Dooren announced his retirement in 2017; Rev. Daniel Dice is the current interim rector.</p><br>

<p>Tjøtta is an island in the municipality of Alstahaug in Nordland county, Norway. The 11.3 km&sup2; island lies at the entrance to the Vefsnfjorden, just south of the island of Alsta. The U-shaped island is relatively flat, and the highest point is the 77 m tall Kalvberghaugen, just east of the village of Tjøtta. The island has two main villages on it: Tjøtta and Svinnes. The Norwegian County Road 17 crosses the island and it connects it to Alsta by two causeways.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Tjøtta has one of the largest and oldest Iron Age farms in Northern Norway, and hardly any places in the region have this many historical relics preserved in one limited area. The chief Hårek av Tjøtta was from here. He was known in the stories of Snorre Sturlason as the governor of Hålogaland.</p><br>
<h3>Gullhaugen</h3><br>
<p>Gullhaugen is located on Tjøtta. The name comes from the Old Norse word haugr meaning hill or mound. Gullhaugen is the site of a large burial mound consisting of over 30 mounds, 5 large round mounds, several elongated mounds, 2 large burial cairns, several stone rings, and a large number of smaller round mounds. The largest mound is about 25 m across and about 2 to 3 m high. All the mounds in this part of the cemetery has been dated back to the Iron Age.</p><br>
<h3>War Cemetries</h3><br>
<p>There are two war cemeteries: Tjøtta Russian War Cemetery from 1953 and Tjøtta International War Cemetery from 1970 with the remains of the victims of Rigel sunk in 1944.</p><br>
<p>Church of the Epiphany is a historic Episcopal church located at 201 S. Ashland Avenue in Chicago, Illinois.

<p>St. Matthew Evangelical Lutheran School is a historic Lutheran school building located at 2101-2107 W. 21st Street in Chicago, Illinois. Built in 1882, it is one of the only surviving Italianate school buildings in Chicago. While the Italianate style was popular in Chicago in the second half of the 19th century, it was mainly used in homes and commercial buildings rather than institutional buildings, making the schools design uncommon even for its era. The schools distinctive Italianate features include its tall windows with arched lintels, its symmetrical front facade, its double bracketed cornice, and the cupola atop its roof. The school is also one of the oldest remaining school buildings in the Lower West Side and its adjacent community areas; only four older schools remain within these nine community areas, and St. Ignatius College Prep is the only older parochial school.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 27, 2000.</p><br>

<p>The First Congregation Church of Western Springs is a historic church designed by George Grant Elmslie. It is considered the finest example of Gothic Revival and Prairie School design in town.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The First Congregation Church of Western Springs in Illinois was founded in 1887. By the 1921, the congregation had expanded to a point where a new church building was required. In 1924, a Building and Planning Committee was formed out of the congregation to seek out an architect. Seven architects from Chicago and St. Louis were interviewed. The design submitted by George Grant Elmslie was selected as the winning bid in 1926. Elmslie had just ended a lengthy partnership with William Gray Purcell and had opened an independent practice in Chicago. The committee was fond of Elmslie&#39;s recent Capitol Building and Loan Association in Topeka, Kansas, and envisioned a similar structure.</p><br>
<p>The committee favored a Gothic Revival building, and Elmslie obliged by submitting an elaborate Gothic design. When the committee realized that the design would be too expansive, Elsmlie responded by offering a design with Prairie School elements. Construction finished in 1930 with the completion of the sanctuary and Education Building, both structures a blend of Gothic and Prairie styles. Gothic elements included a cruciform floor plan and stained glass windows from the Temple Art Glass Company of Chicago. Prairie elements include a horizontal emphasis, wood ornamentation, earth tones, and use of natural materials. Emil Zettler was commissioned to carve statues and provide decorative elements.</p><br>
<p>Herbert and William Brand designed an addition north of the Education Building in 1959. The church was surveyed during the Illinois Historic Structures Survey and, on August 8, 2006, was recognized by the National Park Service with a listing on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>

<p>St. Andrew Strait is a volcano in Papua New Guinea that has had eruptions in historical times. The volcano is not linked to any tectonic plates, the volcano is also in an area of very little earthquakes, this suggests that St. Andrew Strait is an Intraplate volcano. It consists of a group of Quaternary volcanic cones that are mainly rhyolitic in composition. The volcanism is curved, suggesting that the volcano has an ancient caldera. The centre of the volcano is Lou Island. Lou island last erupted in 240 BC  and 340 AD, both eruptions came from the Bendal volcano. Lou island is the largest eruptive centre of the volcano, with 6 volcanic vents. Also the Pam islands  also contain fresh deposits. Historic eruptions have come from the Tuluman Islands.</p><br>
<h2>Eruptions</h2><br>
<h3>1880 eruption</h3><br>
<p>A small submarine eruption came from the Tulaman islands on March 28, 1880. The vent that the eruption came from was probably one of the vents that formed Tuluman island in its 1953-1957 eruption. This was a small VEI 2 explosive eruption.</p><br>
<h3>1953-1957 eruption</h3><br>
<p>An eruption began June 27, 1953. The eruption began with submarine eruptions that formed a new island. The eruption came from 6 vents:</p><br>
<p>Vent 1. Located 1.3 km SSE of Lou Island. Emerged above the surface for two months, but was reduced to a submarine mound by wave action.</p><br>
<p>Vents 2,4,5. These three vents combined to form an island, 2 km south of Lou Island. The island reached a maximum length of 1 km.</p><br>
<p>Vent 3. Located 1.3 km south of Lou Island. The irregular shaped island reached a maximum length of 400 m.</p><br>
<p>Vent 6. Vent 6 is submerged and located 300 m south of vent 5.</p><br>
<p>The eruptions were most intense in 1955 (and also near the end of the eruption) when lava effusion was dominant. The island was built 29 m above sea level. The eruption also produced tsunamis. The eruption was one of only 3 major rhyolitic eruptions of the 20th Century.</p><br>
<p>Woodcrest is a historic mansion located on the campus of Cabrini University in Radnor Township, Delaware County, Pennsylvania.

<p>The Blandijnberg is a 29m high hill in the city center of Ghent in East Flanders, Belgium.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Blandijnberg was already inhabited in prehistoric times. In the 3rd century AD. there was a Gallo-Roman villa on the hill, owned by a person named Blandinus.</p><br>
<p>In the 7th century, Saint Amand founded the Benedictine Saint Peters Abbey on top of the Blandijnberg. The area around the abbey was known as Sint-Pietersdorp (Saint Peters Village). With the expansion of Ghent in the 13th century, the abbey was included in the walled city.</p><br>
<p>At the end of the Ancien Régime, the church possessions on the Blandijnberg were confiscated by the city. In the 19th century, the Blandijnberg area was completely urbanized and had become a laborers neighborhood. In 1848 Sint-Pietersplein, the citys largest square, was laid out in order to redevelop the area. At the end of the 19th century, part of the hill was cleared to build new university buildings for Ghent University. In the 1930s, the Ghent University Library with its iconic Boekentoren, designed by Henry Van de Velde, was built on top of the Blandijnberg. In 1960, the new buildings of the Faculty of Arts and Philosophy, known as the Blandijn, were opened. The Blandijn is directly adjacent to the Boekentoren.</p><br>
<h2>Cycling</h2><br>
<p>In recent years, the Flanders Classics cycle race Omloop Het Nieuwsblad has both started and finished on the Blandijnberg hill.</p><br>
<p>The Canyon Mountains are a 25 mi long mountain range located in the northeast corner of Millard County, Utah; the range is bisected north-south with a southeast border section of Juab County.</p><br>
<p>The Canyon Mountains are part of the north section of the Fishlake National Forest, but the west of the range borders the northeast of the Sevier Desert, and the adjacent Sevier River.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The range is a small Basin and Range Province section of mountains that merge into the smaller Gilson Mountains north traversed by Utah route 132. To the southeast the range merges into the Pavant Range also part of the Fishlake National Forest; between the two, Interstate 15 traverses northeast to Scipio and then further to Nephi, Utah.</p><br>
<p>The highpoint of the range is Fool Creek Peak, at 9,717 ft, lying on the two county borders, but slightly east of the range&#39;s center (1.5 mi).</p><br>
<h3>North range terminus: Sevier River</h3><br>
<p>The Sevier River enters the northeast Sevier Desert at the northeast, then north of the range, with the south border of the Gilson Mountains. The Sevier River makes its final exit from the mountains, and valleys associated with the western flank of the Wasatch Ranges, as well as the Wasatch and Sevier Plateaus. The massif of the Pavant-Tushar Mountains are south; the river flows north along the east flanks, then north-northeast along the east flank of the Valley Mountains, then northwest along the north of Little Valley, then northwest, then due-west past the Gilson and Canyon Mountains into the Sevier Desert. The river turns southwest to Leamington, then Delta, then due-west towards the west Sevier Desert.</p><br>

<p>The three original promoters of the hotel were Des Moines businessmen Richard R. Rollins, Frederick C. Hubbell, Clyde Herring, and Norman M. Wilchinski. The prominent Des Moines architectural firm of Proudfoot, Bird & Rawson designed the building, which opened in 1919. Twelve United States presidents, including Woodrow Wilson, Harry S. Truman, John F. Kennedy, Richard Nixon and George H.W. Bush were guests in the hotel. Other notable guests have included actress Mae West, aviator Charles Lindbergh and Soviet premier Nikita Khrushchev. Singer Tiny Tim lived at the hotel for several years in the early 1990s.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The hotel is an eleven story building that rises 140 ft above the ground. There are two floors below ground and the building contains three elevators. The hotel rooms are in a nine-story H-shaped tower that allows for increased light and air circulation for more rooms. It sits on a two-story base that houses the public rooms and commercial space. The exterior of the building can be divided into three sections visually using the principle of the classical column: a solid base, a basicaly unadorned shaft, and a decorative capital. The ornamentation is concentrated on the lower floors and near the top just below the cornice line.</p><br>
<p>Jefferson County Courthouse is a site on the National Register of Historic Places located in Boulder, Montana. It was added to the Register on August 6, 1980.</p><br>
<p>The building was authorized with a $40,000 bond issue in 1888 and was completed in 1889. The architect selected to design the building was John Paulsen, a German immigrant. The contractor was J.S. McKenzie. The design was a two-story Richardsonian Romanesque style built with local granite and locally manufactured brick, with a square tower with an octagonal spire and two turrets. Design elements drawn from the Middle Ages included gargoyles on each corner of the building, just under the eaves. The interior of the building has extensive carved woodwork. Today is one of the oldest courthouses in Montana still being used as such.</p><br>
<p>The Luang Prabang Range , named after Luang Prabang, is a mountain range straddling northwestern Laos and Northern Thailand.</p><br>
<p>Most of the range is located in Sainyabuli Province (Laos), as well as Nan and Uttaradit Provinces (Thailand), with small parts in Phitsanulok and Loei Provinces. Several rivers such as the Nan, Pua and Wa river, have their source in this range. Phu Fa waterfall, the biggest and the tallest waterfall in Nan Province, is also located in these mountains. This range is part of the Luang Prabang montane rain forests ecoregion.</p><br>
<p>Geologically its composition is similar to that of the parallel Khun Tan Range and the Phi Pan Nam Range, both located further west.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The Luang Prabang mountains are the easternmost range of the Thai highlands. The range runs roughly in a North/South direction between the Mekong and the Nan River. Its northern end begins in the area of Hongsa District, a stretch in Laos near Luang Prabang where the Mekong River flows from west to east; its southern end is about 260 km further south, at the western end of Loei Province in Thailand where the Phetchabun Mountains begin.</p><br>
<p>The highest point of the range is 2,120 m high Phu Soi Dao. Other high peaks of the Luang Prabang Range are 2,079 m high Phu Khe, 1,980 m high Doi Phu Kha, 1,837 m high Doi Phu Wae and 1,745 m high Doi Phi Pan Nam; Phu Khe is one of the ultra prominent peaks of Southeast Asia. Many of the important peaks are located at the border.</p><br>
<p>The vegetation is evergreen hill forest on the highest altitudes of the range height and mostly dry deciduous forest below 1,000 m, with an abundance of teak trees, which has led to heavy deforestation. Like in most ranges of the area, a great proportion of the original forest cover has disappeared owing to shifting agricultural practices and illegal logging. The area is allegedly a heartland for military involvement in timber trade.</p><br>
<p>The Luang Prabang Range is practically devoid of vehicle roads on the Sainyabuli Province side, where there is only one north-south route extending from Sainyabuli, the provincial capital, to the Thai border opposite Thailand&#39;s Loei Province.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1904 the Laotian area of the range was ceded from Siam to the French Indochina colony. Following the Franco-Thai War in 1941 it was annexed by Thailand again under the name Lan Chang (Million Elephants) Province, but returned to its pre-war status in 1946 following the 1946 Washington Accord.</p><br>
<p>Certain Hill tribe communities live in the range, like the Khmu and the Hmong, whose tribal villages are located on both sides of the mountain range. Since the Mekong isolated Sainyabuli from other Laotian provinces with Hmong villages, the warfare during the Quiet War which so badly affected other Hmong communities in Laos largely did not affect the Hmong in the Luang Prabang Range. Most Hmong villages in Sainyabuli Province did not see any fighting. However, later they were persecuted all the same by the Vietnamese and the Pathet Lao soldiers, who regarded them as traitors, thus many fled across the border. There are refugee camps on the Thai side of the range.</p><br>
<p>The southern part of the range saw some confrontation between December 1987 and February 1988 when Thai and Laotian forces engaged in cross-border fighting. Known as Thai–Laotian Border War, this short conflict was caused by a dispute involving the map made by French surveyors in 1907 to mark the borders between Siam and French Indochina. The Thai-Lao Joint Boundary Commission (JBC) was established in 1996 to clarify the 1,810-kilometre boundary and settle ownership of the disputed villages. Border demarcation is still going on.</p><br>
<p>Yetis are said to have been spotted in the remote Mae Charim area of the range.</p><br>
<h2>Tourism</h2><br>
<p>Presently on the Thai side of the Luang Prabang Range some of the Hmong communities are regularly visited by organized tourist groups. River Wa is a popular river for white water rafting between July and December.</p><br>
<h2>Protected areas</h2><br>
<p>There are large swathes of protected areas on the Thai side of the Luang Prabang Range. On the Lao side there is only one.</p><br>
<h3>In Laos</h3><br>
<p>The Nam Phouy National Biodiversity Conservation Area, a large protected area in Laos home to many wild elephants, is located in a forested sector close to the Thai border. The projected reservoir of Lower Nam Phoun dam, however, is partly within the Nam Phouy NBCA and a large zone of the protected area will be flooded in the future.</p><br>
<h3>In Thailand</h3><br>
<p>Khun Nan National Park, Doi Phu Kha National Park, Sinan National Park, Mae Charim National Park, Na Haeo National Park, Klong Tron National Park, Phu San Sai National Park and Phu Soi Dao National Park are located on the Thai side of the Luang Prabang Range.</p><br>
<p>Phu Miang-Phu Thong Wildlife Sanctuary is another protected area on the Thai side.</p><br>
<p>The Scranton Lace Company, also known as the Scranton Lace Curtain Company and Scranton Lace Curtain Manufacturing Company, was an American lace manufacturer in Scranton, Pennsylvania.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The company was established by the Scranton Board of Trade as the Scranton Lace Curtain Manufacturing Company in 1890 and was incorporated on June 15, 1897. The name Scranton Lace Company became standardized in 1916 when the Scranton Lace Curtain Manufacturing Company and one of its subsidiaries combined their operations. On May 13, 1958, the company changed its name to The Scranton Lace Corporation, but soon thereafter reverted to using the name The Scranton Lace Company as its official title. From 1916 to 2002 the company remained the first and largest known producer of Nottingham Lace in the United States.</p><br>
<p>The company was the world leader in Nottingham lace and also produced tablecloths, napkins, valances, and shower curtains, among many other types of lace items. During the 1940s, the company teamed up with subsidiaries such as Victory Parachutes, Inc. and Sweeney Bros. to manufacture parachutes and camouflage netting. The company prospered well into the 1950s, but risky investments involving Hal Roach Studios and the fledgling television industry placed the company in financial peril and eventually led to its closure in 2002. Despite the factory being one of areas biggest employers, it closed in 2002 with the companys vice president telling its employees, mid-shift, that the facility was closing "effective immediately".</p><br>
<p>The facility featured a theater, bowling alley, gymnasium, infirmary, clock tower (that is a city landmark and has a Meneely cast iron bell) and other amenities.</p><br>
<p>On January 31, 2011, the Scranton City Council gave final approval to Lace Building Affiliates to redevelop the Scranton Lace Complex industrial factory located at 1315 Mylert Avenue. Development was stalled because the site had been located within a flood zone before a levee was completed along the Lackawanna River in 2011 and the mapping was not updated until early 2016. Environmental cleanup work is expected to begin in August 2016.</p><br>
<p>On December 30, 2011, the company&#39;s abandoned building was featured in the pilot episode of the Abandoned television series.</p><br>
<p>The factory complex was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2012.</p><br>
<p>Hill 57 is a sandstone-capped hill on the benchland northwest of Great Falls, Montana, United States. The origin of the name is in dispute, but probably derives from an advertisement for "Heinz 57" food products that was created on the hillside in the early 20th century. Hill 57 was home to a small and poverty-stricken community of Cree, Métis, and Ojibwe  Native Americans from about the 1880s to the 1960s. Although much reduced in number, some of these landless Native Americans continue to reside on Hill 57. The extreme economic deprivation of Native Americans in the area led to the term "Hill 57" becoming a symbol and "a byword for urban Indian poverty". This community subsequently became the most widely-cited example of "landless Indians" in Montana.</p><br>
<h2>Geology</h2><br>
<p>Hill 57 is a low-rise plateau located adjacent to the city limits of Great Falls, Montana, about 2,000 ft north of 9th Avenue North/Northwest Bypass on Stuckey Road and abutting to the Valley View neighborhood.</p><br>
<p>Hill 57 consists of rock belonging to the Colorado Group, a stratigraphic unit consisting largely of shale. Within this group is a subunit known as the Blackleaf Formation (or the Albian Formation), a shale with a small proportion of fine-to-medium grain sandstone. At the bottom of the Blackleaf Formation is another geologic subunit, the Flood Member, a sandstone consisting of layers (from top to bottom) of very hard calcareous sandstone, fissile sandstone with concretions of ironstone or stained limestone, and medium-hard light-colored sandstone. Flood Member rock makes up the majority of the rock beneath Hill 57. A very hard, undefined sandstone structure, described by geologists as "massive" in size, sits atop the hill.</p><br>
<p>About 65,000 years ago, before the Iowa Period of the Wisconsin glaciation, the Missouri River flowed north rather than east. The river laid down a fluvial terrace consisting of quartzite gravel. A layer of this gravel, about 15 to 20 ft deep, now covers the top and sides of Hill 57.</p><br>
<p>About 15,000 years ago, the Laurentide Ice Sheet blocked the north-flowing Missouri River, creating Lake Great Falls. Lake silt in turn covered this gravel, creating the current topsoil of Hill 57. About 13,000 years ago, the ice sheet retreated and Lake Great Falls drained. This exposed Hill 57, which has retained this form into the current period.</p><br>
<p>Hill 57 is distinguished from Mount Royal, a somewhat taller adjacent hill/plateau to the north and northwest.</p><br>
<h2>Name</h2><br>
<p>Sources vary widely as to the origin of the name "Hill 57". The most complete version of the name&#39;s original was reported by Ralph Pomnichowski in the Great Falls Tribune in 2009, who wrote that, in 1926, Heinz 57 salesman Art Hinck (or Henck) arranged rocks on the hill into the form of a gigantic "57" and then painted them white. Historian Don Peterson relates substantially the same story, although he says the advertisement was created about 1900. Historian Jeanne Eder has written that the advertisement went up during administration of President Theodore Roosevelt, which puts its creation between September 1901 and March 1909. Attorney Ellen Thompson, who has written about the landless Native Americans living at the site, also says that a Heinz 57 salesman arranged rocks on the hill in the form of a giant "57", although she does not say whether they were painted white or not. Others sources agree that the "57" was an advertisement (although they are not specific as to the form it took), while some say that it was "painted" but do not specify whether it was on the grass, on rocks, or took some other form. Historian Matthew Basso does not identify Art Hinck as the creator of the advertisement, but merely says the individual was a "pickle salesman".</p><br>
<p>Sources agree that the advertisement could be seen for miles.</p><br>
<p>Two alternative origins for the name "Hill 57" have also been suggested. Historian Ken Robison says that, in addition to the Heinz advertisement, Hill 57 was named for James J. Hill, chief executive officer of the Great Northern Railway and a close friend of Great Falls founder Paris Gibson. In 1969, Representative John Melcher cited "legend" that the hill&#39;s name came from the large number of "Heinz 57" cans strewn over the landscape there.</p><br>
<p>As of 2009, the "57" advertisement could no longer be seen on the hill.</p><br>
<h3>Great Falls High School logo</h3><br>
<p>Since the 1920s, students from Great Falls High School have maintain a giant "GF" logo on the side of Hill 57. The logo is composed of whitewashed stones, which GFHS students regularly repaint and keep in place.</p><br>
<h2>Native American presence</h2><br>
<h3>Hill 57 camp</h3><br>
<p>Just when the Hill 57 area was occupied by Native Americans is not clear. Some sources put the date at about 1900. A major drought which hit Montana in 1917 (and lasted until 1920) drove many landless Native Americans off the plains and into these settlements near Great Falls.</p><br>
<p>Initially, landless Native Americans settled on the west bank of the Missouri River south of the Fox Farm neighborhood. But the most permanent settlements were on Hill 57, Mount Royal, along Wire Mill Road in Black Eagle (an unincorporated village on the north bank of the river where the Anaconda Copper smelter was located), near the Great Falls Meat Packing Plant (now demolished, but then located several hundred feet north of 5700 18th Avenue N.), and on the bank of the Missouri River near what is now Sacajawea Island. White residents of Great Falls derided these areas by calling them "moccasin flats".</p><br>
<p>Winters at the Hill 57 camp were incredibly harsh. While many Native American families survived during the summer by picking food, clothing, and firewood out of the town garbage dump, snow and ice precluded such scavenging during the winter. Many families turned to the county government during the winter, and received minimal assistance that enabled them to survive.</p><br>
<p>In 1917, at the start of World War I, Anaconda Copper began hiring large numbers of local landless Indians for work in their smelter. The Great Depression, which began in October 1929, caused copper prices to plunge and the plant closed on May 7, 1932. Angry white workers blamed the Native Americans for taking their jobs and stealing equipment from the plant, and burned the Indian camps around Great Falls to the ground. The vast majority of Native Americans then removed to Hill 57, which at that time was owned by a woman of Native American descent.</p><br>
<p>By 1937, a number of Native American families had moved from Hill 57 to the unused land north of Wire Mill Road.</p><br>
<p>Hill 57 was occupied by several hundred Native Americans into the 1970s. As of 2013, however, it was largely deserted. Nevertheless, the landless Native American presence remains strong in Great Falls, with about 3,000 Little Shell Chippewa living in the city.</p><br>
<h2>In popular culture</h2><br>
<p>The Native Americans of Hill 57 and their desperate poverty were the subject of The American Stranger, an hour-long NBC News special report which aired in November 1958. The broadcast harshly condemned the USA government&#39;s Indian termination policy, and used the Hill 57 community as an example of what the policy would entail. Historian Pamela Wilson has called the broadcast "the most significant interpretation of the termination crisis" ever to air on American television.</p><br>
<p>Wayne Hotel, formerly known as The Waynewood, is a historic hotel located at Wayne, Delaware County, Pennsylvania. It was built in 1906, and is a five-story, Tudor Revival building, with a two-story rear extension. It is built of brick and stucco with false Half Timbering. It features a one-story, wraparound porch with a semi-circular dining projection and two projecting bay windows extending from the second to fourth floors.</p><br>
<p>Local entrepreneur purchased the property in the 1980s and, after a complete refurbishment, the hotel offers all the usual modern amenities, including a restaurant, a private room for dining and meetings, 38 guest rooms plus two luxury suites and 12 off-site luxury furnished apartments for longer term stays.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>
<p>Square Tavern, also known as the John West House, The Square, and Newtown Square Tavern, is a historic tavern located at Newtown Square, Delaware County, Pennsylvania. The original section was completed in 1742, and is a 2 1/2-story, rectangular gable roofed brick building, measuring 32 feet wide and 28 feet deep. A small two-story kitchen addition was built sometime before 1798, and later replaced with a two-story wing. The wing was removed during the 1981 restoration, which returned the building to its 1742 appearance. The building serves as a museum and home to the Delaware County Tourist Bureau.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>

<p>The San Francisco Mountains  are a 20-mile  long mountain range located in central-north Beaver County, Utah, and extending into central-south Millard County. The range is connected in the northeast to the Cricket Mountains with the same Basin and Range, southwest by northeast lineage. Both ranges form the eastern border of the Wah Wah Valley Hardpan and the usually dry Sevier Lake which both have the same northeasterly trendline.</p><br>
<p>The region is in the southwest of the Sevier Desert, and the southwest Great Basin Desert.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The range is linear, with a high peaks section in the southwest; the northeast lower elevation foothills merge into the Cricket Mountains. A smaller, almost circular mountain sub-range is attached on the southeast, the Beaver Lake Mountains, which is also adjacent to the town of Milford; the Beaver River flows north through Milford Valley and enters the desert region east of the mountain ranges. (When flowing above ground, the river intersects with the Sevier River, to the north, and before entering Sevier Lake.)</p><br>
<p>A ridgeline of the range occurs in the south, and is slightly west of center; and south of the range&#39;s center and on the ridgeline is the range highpoint, Frisco Peak, 9,660 ft.</p><br>
<p>The Theophilus Crawford House is a historic house at 53 Hickory Ridge Road South in Putney, Vermont. Built about 1808, it is one of the oldest brick houses in Putney, and one of its finest examples of Federal architecture in brick. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995. Its current owners operate it as the Hickory Ridge House Bed and Breakfast Inn.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Crawford House is located north of Putney Village, on the south side of Hickory Ridge Road, just south of the private Grammar School. It is a 2-1/2 story brick structure, with a side gable roof and granite foundation. The north and east walls are laid in Flemish bond, and the other two sides are laid in American bond. A two-story gable-roofed wood frame ell extends south from the main block. The front facade, facing north to the street, is symmetrically arranged, with a center entry framed by sidelight windows and topped by a fanlight window. Above the entrance on the second level is a Palladian window; the remaining windows are rectangular sash windows, set below blind semi-oval transoms. The interior retains significant original woodwork and hardware.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1807-09 by Theophilus Crawford, a local farmer and sawmill owner. Crawford regularly traveled to Boston, Massachusetts to sell his dairy products, and is said to have brought the window glass from there. The brick was probably sourced at a local brickyard in East Putney. It was probably the first brick house to be built in the town, and is one of the first relatively high-style Federal houses to be built in southeastern Vermont. It remained in the Crawford family until 1913, a relatively long period for the region. It has housed a bed and breakfast inn since 1986.</p><br>
<p>Blue Creek Valley is an 18 mi long valley located in northeast Box Elder County, Utah. It is endorheic with the Blue Creek Reservoir its lowpoint located south in the valley&#39;s center.</p><br>
<p>The valley is nestled between three mountainous regions. The West Hills and Blue Spring Hills border it east and southeast. The south abuts the north of the Promontory Mountains, and the west is formed by a small north-south range, the North Promontory Mountains</p><br>
<p>The north of the valley borders the south of Idaho&#39;s Pocatello Valley.</p><br>
<h2>Valley description</h2><br>
<p>Because Blue Creek Valley is narrow, only 5-8 mi wide, small feeder creeks feed the region from the four cardinal directions. Blue Creek Reservoir is located in the center-south of the valley, with Blue Creek Spring located 2 mi northeast, the main feed to the reservoir.</p><br>
<p>The outlet of Blue Creek Reservoir trends south past Howell, Utah, into agricultural land. A peak associated with the north of the Promontory Mountains ends the valley&#39;s south, at the mountain range foothills. The mountain, Engineer Mountain, 5,400 ft, and parts of the north Promontory Mountains drain north into the south border of Blue Creek Valley; southwest drainage from the mountain region drains southwest into the Bear River Bay section of the northeast Great Salt Lake.</p><br>
<h2>Valley lowpoint</h2><br>
<p>The lowest elevation in the valley is south of Blue Creek Reservoir, its outlet, and to the farmland around Howell, Utah. Blue Creek Reservoir is at 4,593 ft.</p><br>
<p>The Younker Brothers Department Store is a historic building located in downtown Des Moines, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Younkers was founded in Keokuk, Iowa in 1856. They opened their first store in Des Moines in 1874 and moved their headquarters to Des Moines in 1879. Their flagship store moved to this location in November 1899. The original Tea Room opened in 1913 and was replaced in 1927. The building installed the first escalator in Iowa, known as the "electric stairs", in this building in 1939. Younkers closed their downtown Des Moines location on August 12, 2005.</p><br>
<p>Part of the building was destroyed in a fire during the early morning hours of March 29, 2014, that caused the upper floors of the building to collapse. At the time of the fire, the building was undergoing renovation into 120 apartments and retail space. While no cause of the fire has been announced, the ATF had ruled out arson as a possible cause following an investigation shortly after the fire. Demolition of the eastern part of the building began a short time later.</p><br>
<p>In August 2014, the Alexander Company, a Wisconsin-based developer, announced plans to continue with the ongoing renovation and restoration of the western half of the building. The revised plans call for adding 14,000 square feet of commercial space on the first floor of the building, creating 60 apartment units on the remaining floors, and renovating the historic Tea Room, which was spared during the fire.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The building is seven stories tall and rises 138 ft above the ground. It was designed by the Des Moines architectural firm of Liebbe, Nourse & Rasmussen in the Commercial style.</p><br>
<p>Delaware County National Bank is a historic bank building located at the southwest corner of 3rd Street and Avenue of the States  in Chester, Delaware County, Pennsylvania, United States. It was built between 1882 and 1884, and is a 2 1/2-story masonry building in the Renaissance Revival style. It is built of brick and brownstone and has a low hipped slate-covered roof. The roof features metal cresting, five projecting decorated chimneys, and four Corinthian order pilasters supporting the front pediment dormer. It was headquarters for the Delaware County National Bank from 1884 to 1930.</p><br>
<p>Since 1930, the building has served as offices of the Crozer-Chester Medical Center, the United Way and the RDC Institute.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>
<p>The M.J. Lavina Robidoux House in Aurora, Colorado is an Italianate house built in 1913. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011. Constructed in 1913, the Robidoux House is a one-and-a-half-story, cross-gabled brick bungalow and is an excellent example of the Craftsman architectural style. The city of Aurora, Colorado, has very few</p><br>
<p>examples of Craftsman brick bungalows that are left in the area, making this house particularly significant</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Mary Jane Lavina Girard Robidoux, the widow of Albert Robidoux, a successful wheat farmer and rancher from Kansas, commissioned the construction of the house at 1615 Galena Street in 1913. Mrs. Robidoux moved to Aurora, Colorado, following her husband’s untimely death in 1912. Mrs. Robidoux had adequate financial resources and invested in the design and construction of one of the finest Craftsman-style brick bungalows in Aurora. It is no surprise Mrs. Robidoux wanted her new home to be located on Aurora’s most affluent street: “Silk Stocking Row” as it was referred. According to the Aurora Democrat dated October 3, 1913, the Robidoux House was “finest house yet erected in Aurora.”</p><br>
<p>There have only been four families including Mrs. Robidoux, who have resided at 1615 Galena Street and much still remains of the original house. Mrs. Robidoux died in her home in June1 929. She left the house to St. Clara’s Orphanage as a memorial to her late husband Albert. The rest of her estate was split up between nieces, nephews, and surviving siblings. St. Clara’s Orphanage sold the house to the Cornelius Muldoon family in 1930. The Muldoons lovingly cared for the woodwork for over 60 years (from 1930 to 1996). It was said that the matriarch of the family, Clare Muldoon, never allowed anything other than cheesecloth to be used for dusting. In the 1940s, this house had the highest assessed value of any residence in Aurora. St. Clara’s Orphanage sold the house to the Cornelius Muldoon family in 1930. Mr. Muldoon became sick in World War I from mustard gas and sought medical help as a disabled veteran from the Fitzsimons Army Hospital in Aurora. The Muldoons had two young sons who still live in the neighborhood today, Neil and Felix. They tell stories about how their mother was so grateful to have the lovely home that she took great care of it and would not allow them to scuff any of the woodwork. During the Depression, their mother served bread and soup out of the back porch to men passing through from the railway station looking for work. Mrs. Muldoon died in 1984, after which a family member moved in and lived in the house until 1996. The family sold it to non-family members at this time. In 2007, the current owners bought the house and completed some minor restoration of the wood floors and staircase damaged over the years. They also remodeled the kitchen to modernize it, but saved the old sink, which is kept in the basement along with what appears to be the original stove and clothes washing machine. A large kitchen buffet moved to the back porch is still used today</p><br>
<p>The Hogup Mountains are a small 25-mile  long mountain range located in central Box Elder County, Utah, USA. The range lies on the northwest perimeter of the Great Salt Lake, and also lies surrounded by the Great Salt Lake Desert; it lies in the desert&#39;s northeast.</p><br>
<p>Three major peaks are found in the mountain&#39;s center, Tangent and Scorpio Peaks, and Shelter Mountain. Also, 3 mi east in the Great Salt Lake, an outlying peak is named Dolphin Island.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Hogup Mountains have a central section containing the three major peaks; the mountain range narrows both northerly and southerly into the Great Salt Lake Desert, but the northeast does have another small 7 mi ridgeline that trends exactly NNW x SSE.</p><br>
<h3>Mountain peaks</h3><br>
<p>Broom Mountain, 4,782 ft, anchors the southern mountain section on the named Hogup Ridge. The central peaks are Scorpio Peak (southeast), 6,560 ft, and due west, Shelter Mountain, 5,964 ft. In the center-north lies the range highpoint, Tangent Peak, 7,047 ft.</p><br>
<h2>Access</h2><br>
<p>The south of the Hogup Mountains can be accessed from Lakeside, 14 mi ESE. The north of the range can be accessed from Kelton; also Park Valley on Utah State Route 30.</p><br>
<p>Yucamane is an andesitic stratovolcano group in southern Peru.</p><br>
<p>The group is mostly Holocene in age. During the Holocene, Yucamane has shown signs of Plinian eruptions which produced pyroclastic flows. The most recent of these events occurred around 1320 BC.</p><br>
<h2>Morphology</h2><br>
<p>Yucamane is made up of two stratovolcanoes, Yucamane itself which rises to 5,550 m above sea level and Calientes which rises to 5,358 m above sea level. Only Yucamane has a youthful summit crater.</p><br>
<h2>Eruptions</h2><br>
<p>Potential historic eruptions were reported in 1787 and in the 19th and 20th centuries, but these are considered unlikely. The 1787 eruption was probably mistaken for the eruption of neighboring Tutupaca volcano.</p><br>
<p>Collen Brook Farm, also known as Collenbrook, is a historic home and associated buildings located at Upper Darby Township, Delaware County, Pennsylvania. The complex includes three contributing buildings: a farmhouse, a granite spring house , and stone and frame carriage house . The house is a -story, vernacular stone residence with a Georgian plan and consisting of three sections. The oldest section was built around 1700, with additions made in 1774, and 1794.

<p>The Northwestern Hotel is an historic building located in the East Village of Des Moines, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Opening in 1916, the Northwestern Hotel was built to serve the needs of railroad employees and passengers from the nearby Chicago and North Western depot, and other people of modest means. It was particularly popular with people during the Iowa State Fair. The hotel also had an arrangement with the railroad to accommodate its employees in their rooms. This building replaced a previous hotel with the same name in the same location. It was built by Otto Starzinger, whose parents Frank and Anna built and ran the hotel before him. Other businesses housed on the first floor included a restaurant, cigar stand, and a drug store. Eventually, the building went into a slow period of decline before Polk County officials forced it to close in 1982. A group of lawyers remodeled the building for office use in 1983. The building currently houses retail space on the first floor.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The building was designed by the prominent Des Moines architectural firm of Proudfoot, Bird & Rawson. It is a three-story structure with a decorative cornice at the roofline. Most of the building&#39;s decorations were limited to the lobby of the hotel when it was constructed. The first floor housed retail space in addition to the hotel’s lobby. A ballroom, with its own skylight, and guest rooms were on the second floor. The guest rooms of the second and third floor were generally small and were arranged around spaces with skylights. Some of the larger suites, which had a view of the capitol building, had their own bathrooms. The other guest rooms shared bathrooms. The building was originally designed to be six stories high, but it had to be scaled back to three. However, the underpinnings of the building exist to support additional stories, and cast concrete supports and a fourth-floor fireplace are located in the attic.</p><br>
<p>The Syndicate Block, also known as the McCoy Building, is an historic building located in the East Village of Des Moines, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The property on which the building stands was originally owned by one of the first settlers in Polk County, Conrad Dietz. Dietz was a German farmer who settled in the area in 1847. He sold one of the lots in 1876 to the proprietors of a hardware store, Entwistle & O’Dea. The rest of the land was leased to shopkeepers and craftsmen. By 1883 there was a row of small wood-frame buildings on the property near the intersection of Fifth and Locust Streets that had the appearance of a small town Main Street. This three-story brick structure was built by a group of East Side businessmen in 1883 three blocks from the Iowa State Capitol, and it reflects its Renaissance Revival style. It also stands out in an area of Italianate commercial buildings. The first floor has housed a variety of retail businesses over the years and the upper floors have housed various professionals and business firms. The building currently houses several commercial enterprises.</p><br>

<p>The Savery Hotel, now known as the Renaissance Des Moines Savery Hotel, is a historic building located in downtown Des Moines, Iowa, United States. This is the third hotel in the city with that name and the second at this location. The prominent Chicago hotel design firm H.L.
