<p>Coopersburg Historic District is a national historic district located at Coopersburg, Lehigh County, Pennsylvania. The district includes 175 contributing buildings in the central business district and surrounding residential areas of Coopersburg. The buildings are in a variety of architectural styles including Colonial Revival, Queen Anne, and Federal styles. Notable buildings include the Norcross House , Barron House , Odd Fellows&#39; Hall, Baldwin House hotel , Gander  House, the Cooper Estate, Coopersburg Elementary School , First National Bank of Coopersburg , and Congreve House. Located in the district is the separately listed Linden Grove Pavilion.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>The Arkansas Tuberculosis Sanatorium Historic District is a United States Historic District south of Booneville, Arkansas that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in October 2006.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The sanatorium was the relocation center for all white Arkansans with tuberculosis. By the time the facility was closed in 1973, it had treated over 70,000 patients. The main hospital, named the Nyberg Building after Leo E. Nyberg, a former sanatorium patient and state legislator who sponsored the bill funding the construction, was completed in 1941. The facility became known worldwide as one of the most successful and modern hospitals for the treatment of tuberculosis of its day.</p><br>
<p>The sanatorium complex was self-sustaining, with dormitories, staff entertainment buildings, a chapel, laundry, dairy, water treatment plant, independent telephone system, and even a fire department. At the height of its use, the complex employed nearly 300 staff members. At one point, the total population of the center was greater than that of Booneville, in the valley below.</p><br>
<p>With the introduction of more effective drug therapy, the patient population began to decline. Eventually the sanatorium was closed in 1973. The campus was then used as the Booneville Human Development Center, a state-run residential program for adults with mild and moderate mental retardation and other developmental disabilities which is what it remains today.</p><br>
<p>The Charles G. Janson Garage is a commercial structure located at 524 Tenth Avenue in Menominee, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Charles G. Janson Garage was originally constructed in 1915 for Charles G. Janson, a Ford auto dealer. Janson was a Swedish immigrant who started as a blacksmith before getting into the automobile business. An addition was made to the original building in 1933. In 1937, Janson retired, selling his business to Herbert J. Norton of Escanaba, Michigan, but retaining ownership of the building. Janson died in 1955 at the age of 82.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Charles G. Janson Garage is a two-story commercial building constructed of brick. The original section of the building is a deep building with a narrow front, a gently sloping roof, and a steppet parapet on either side. The second floor is relatively shallow. The front facade is faced with dark red brick and the remaining sides are faced with a yellow brick. The front has a wide center entrance originally used as an auto entry, but since converted to a double-door with sidelights. Two large shop windows are placed on either side of the entrance, and a large central window, flanked by narrower windows, is in the upper story.</p><br>
<p>A single-story brick addition is connected to the side of the original building well back from the street, giving the overall plan an L-shape. The addition originally had three garage bays and a large window in front; the garage entrances have since been converted to doors.</p><br>
<p>The Allen Hazen Water Tower, also known as the Municipal Water Tower, is a historic structure located on the west side of Des Moines, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The first water storage facility in the city of Des Moines was located at Seventeenth and Crocker Streets, and it was completed in 1891. Before it was built torn down in 1939 the Allen Hazen Water Tower was completed in 1931. It was designed by New York engineer Clinton Mackenzie of Everett & Hazen. Allen Hazen, one of the partners in the firm and a pioneer in water treatment, was a consulting engineer to the Des Moines Water Works in the 1920s. He also supervised the tower&#39;s construction. Hazen died just before construction was completed and the tower was named in his honor. While there are other water storage facilities in Des Moines, this is technically the only water tower in the city. At one time a large arrow was painted on top of the structure to guide pilots to the Des Moines airport.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The tower was constructed in concrete and steel. The structure is 110 ft tall and holds 1.7 million gallons of water. Everett & Hazen chose the Neoclassical style to reference the waterworks of Ancient Rome. The base is composed of 15 concrete Doric columns that support the entablature. The tower&#39;s original design had called for 16 columns on the base and a colonnade capped with a concrete parapet that would surround the tank. Other decorative elements that were removed before the tower was built include brackets at the cornice and astragal molding. As completed the tank is exposed instead of hidden, and its lapped joints continue the vertical lines of the columns on the base.</p><br>
<p>Nob Hill Business Center is a historic shopping center in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Built in 1946–7, it was the first modern suburban shopping center in New Mexico, and its construction marked a shift away from pedestrian-oriented development in Albuquerque in favor of decentralized, auto-oriented sprawl. Located on Central Avenue  at Carlisle Boulevard, the building is the focal point of the Nob Hill district.</p><br>
<p>The shopping center was developed by Robert Waggoman on what was then the eastern fringe of the city, more than two miles from the downtown commercial district. Local commentators dubbed the project "Waggoman&#39;s Folly" because it was so far from the center of town, but the shopping center turned out to be a major success and served as a model for future commercial development in Albuquerque. The building was added to the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties in 1983 and the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.</p><br>
<p>Nob Hill Business Center is a one-story, U-shaped building with an interior parking lot facing Central Avenue. The building was designed by Louis Hesselden in a predominantly Streamline Moderne style with rounded corners, decorative towers, and white stucco walls with horizontal bands of terra cotta tile and brick. Some of the architectural features are also reminiscent of the local Territorial Revival style.</p><br>
<p>The Albert and Theresa Marx House is a historic house located at 805 Cashton Avenue in Cashton, Wisconsin. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 16, 2007.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Perhaps the defining feature of the house is its open, two-story circular veranda and adjoining entrance porch, which wraps around the southeast corner of the house, dominating the front elevation. Two-story Ionic columns support the flat roof of the 9-foot wide veranda, while square posts support the decked entrance porch that extends variously from seven to thirteen feet from the house. The house was originally built for Albert Marx and his wife, Theresa Mashak Marx. Albert had originally moved to Cashton in 1894 and married Theresa in 1901.</p><br>
<p>The George McFarlan House, built around 1857 at 1410 Second Street, is one of the oldest remaining houses in Eureka, California and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The boards of the house are numbered suggesting it was either brought to Eureka in pieces to be constructed or had been assembled somewhere else before being rebuilt at its current location.</p><br>
<p>The style is Greek Revival, although its facade has been altered to its current appearance. An Italianate wing and porch were added in the late 1880s. The building was reconstructed without the Italianate additions following a fire in 1982. At present the facade retains the upstairs original Greek Revival fenestration, while the first floor retains the four across pattern of the Italianate remodeling. Early photos show three windows with a centered doorway and two windows above to have been the original facade.</p><br>
<h2>George McFarlan</h2><br>
<p>George McFarlan (b. c. January 1821 - d. 25 December 1875) was an early pioneer to Humboldt County arriving with a group of Canadians from New Brunswick that included Willam Carson whose sister later married another McFarlan.</p><br>
<p>Like many other newcomers to the area, they sought gold first, working for a group from Arkansas to dam the Trinity River about ten miles from Weaverville to divert the flow to an old channel revealing a three-quarters of a mile long dry bed of riffled gold and pebbles in the summer of 1850. As with McFarlan, most of the Canadian laborers on the dam went on to become the leading men of Humboldt County.</p><br>
<p>After the gold fields, McFarlan came to Eureka and purchased large tracts of redwood timbered land, in an area south of Myrtle Avenue, to feed a saw mill that he built and operated, and once owned the land, but did not log it, that would become Eureka&#39;s Sequoia Park. McFarlan street is in his former holdings. McFarlan and his wife, Catharine A. McFarlan (b. c. 1838 - d. 14 July 1878), lived in the home on Second street at the time it was built. He was found drowned in Humboldt Bay, 24 December 1875, although his gravestone says he died 25 December 1875. He is buried with his wife, Catharine in Myrtle Grove Memorial Cemetery.</p><br>
<p>The site of Ebsbury includes the remains of an Iron Age enclosed settlement, field system and possible hill fort, and a Romano-British enclosed settlement, located in the parish of Barford St Martin, in Wiltshire.</p><br>
<p>The site occupies the spur of a downland hill with the possible hill fort enclosure measuring approximately 700 m by 400 m, inside of which lie the remains of a field system with two further smaller oval enclosures and one triangular enclosure. To the north and east sides of the site the contours of the hill have been reinforced by multiple banks. The site of an Iron Age settlement lies to the eastern end of the site.</p><br>
<p>The site was subject to archaeological surveys and excavations in 1906 by S.W. Doughty. Finds include a Neolithic perforated mace-head and two Roman coin hoards. The latter were found buried in two earthenware pots; the coins date from between AD 337 and AD 408, and were found with the remains of a glass vessel, and six silver rings.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>The site is located at, just to the west of the village of Great Wishford. The hill has a summit of 175 m AOD. Nearby to the west lies the site of Grovely castle, and to the south, the largest forest in Wiltshire, Grovely Wood.</p><br>
<p>Filey Brigg is a long narrow peninsula situated about a mile north of, North Yorkshire. Its steep cliffs are 20 metres high and consist of a variety of material, from pure sandstone to pure limestone. The landward end of the peninsula of Filey Brigg is known as Carr Naze, whilst the long neck of rock at the seaward end is called the Brigg. In the early 1970s the fields on top of the Brigg were turned into Filey Brigg Country Park. The biology and geology of Filey Brigg place it among Sites of Special Scientific Interest in North Yorkshire.</p><br>
<h2>Ancient history</h2><br>
<p>The first record of Filey Briggs ancient history was made by a local antiquarian, Dr Cortis (MD), who excavated a Roman signal station in 1857. In November that year he delivered a lecture to Fileys antiquarians in which he enumerated a number of findings made by "a painter belonging to Filey, named Wilson," who had found large quantities of Roman pottery, bones and charred wood in the area of Carr Naze on the northern side of Filey Bay. The findings encouraged more excavations, the result of which was five large stones believed to be altars or bases of pillars, a dog chasing a stag being carved on one of them. Cortis also reported that near one of the stones an inscription had been found bearing part of two lines:</p><br>
<p>CÆSAR S E</p><br>
<p>Q V A M. S P E</p><br>
<p>Further investigations conducted in 1920 resulted in the belief that the five stones found by Cortis were foundations of a wooden watchtower. However no further remains are visible nowadays because of cliff erosion. It was concluded that the signal station was erected in the late 4th century and was abandoned or plundered around 400 A.D. The five stones can now be seen in the Filey Crescent Gardens.</p><br>
<h2>Geology and wildlife</h2><br>
<p>The existence of the entire structure of Filey Bay and the Brigg is caused by the fact that the rock on the south side of the Brigg slid down, causing the overlying clay to lie either at or below the level of the sea, which eroded it to form Filey Bay. The hard rock on the northern side juts out to form the Brigg. The structure still erodes and large rock slips caused by constant rapid erosion of the clay cliffs of Carr Naze have been witnessed. The last one occurred in 1869 and took away several hundred metres of the Naze.</p><br>
<p>The rocks of Filey Brigg as well as the intertidal zone attract numerous species of birds, such as oystercatchers, redshanks and purple sandpipers,</p><br>
<h2>Folklore</h2><br>
<p>There are two legends concerning the formation of the long ridge of rocks known as Filey Brigg. According to one of them it was built by the Devil, who, having lost his hammer in the sea, reached for it with his hand but caught a fish instead. The Devil exclaimed, "Ah! Dick!", which accounts for the name of the fish - haddock. Since then Filey Brigg has carried the marks of the Devil&#39;s grasp on its shoulders.</p><br>
<p>Another legend states that the rocks were the bones of a dragon, which terrorized the area but was outsmarted by the townsfolk, who drowned it when it dived into the sea to wash parkin (a Yorkshire cake) from between its teeth.</p><br>
<p>The archaeological site near the village of Breitenbach in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany is an important open-air settlement that dates to the period of initial colonization of Europe by anatomically modern humans. The occupations date to the early Upper Palaeolithic and more specifically belong to the Aurignacian cultural complex. Breitenbach is currently the biggest open-air settlement site in western Eurasia dating to this time period. Overlying the Palaleolithic deposits are the remains of a younger settlement that has been dated to the Neolithic.</p><br>
<h2>Palaeolithic settlement</h2><br>
<h3>Significance</h3><br>
<p>The open-air site Breitenbach is located at the northern boundary of the Aurignacian oikumene, from which only few sites are currently known. It is also one of the few Aurignacian open-air sites known from Central Europe – knowledge about modern human spatial behaviour and subsistence practices during the Aurignacian derives primarily from cave sites. The extent of the settlement is currently estimated between 8,000 and 10,000 square meters – this is very unusual for this time period and foreshadows the large open air settlements of the Gravettian known from eastern Europe. As a late representative of the Aurignacian, Breitenbach is of supra-regional interest in understanding the dynamics of the Aurignacian-Gravettian transition. In addition, it also promises insight to spatial organisation and subsistence practices of hunter-gatherer groups during the time of the initial occurrence of the “complete set” of behaviourally modern characteristics.</p><br>
<h3>Location</h3><br>
<p>The village Breitenbach is part of Wetterzeube municipality and is located approximately 6 km south of the town of Zeitz. The archaeological site near the old cutting mill (“Schneidemühle”) is situated along the eastern bank of the river Aga, a small tributary of the Weisse Elster river. The site is located on the slopes of a gentle promontory that, coming from a north-westerly direction peters out in a south-easterly direction.</p><br>
<h3>Discovery and excavations</h3><br>
<p>The site was discovered in the spring of 1925 by the local school teacher E. Thiersch. In the process of extending an existing storage yard adjacent to the mill, large numbers of bones had already been discovered and discarded since the autumn of 1924. First sondages by H. Hess von Wichdorff and A. Götze took place in 1925 and large scale archaeological excavations exposing 400 square meters were conducted by N. Niklasson and F. Wiegers in 1927. Unusual for the time, Niklasson and Wiegers employed a grid system, which allows for a reconstruction of the horizontal find distribution. A smaller geological sondage took place in 1962, followed by a small archaeological campaign in 2004. Since 2009 a collaborative effort headed by the MONREPOS Archaeological Research Center and Museum for Human Behavioral Evolution of the Römisch-Germanisches Zentralmuseum Mainz, the State Office for Heritage Management and Archaeology of Saxony-Anhalt and Leiden University has resumed large scale excavations.</p><br>
<h3>Chronometric dates</h3><br>
<p>Several 14C dates (AMS) place the occupations at Breitenbach between 23,990±180 (OxA-11964) and 28,380±170 (OxA-11889) years ago.Street, M & T. Terberger. 2003. New Evidence for the Chronology of the Aurignacian and the Question of Pleniglacial Settlement in Western Central Europe. In: F. d’Errico /J. Zilhao (Hrsg.), The Chronology of the Aurignacian and of the Transitional Technocomplexes. Dating,</p><br>
<p>Stratigraphies, Cultural Implications. Proceedings of Symposium 6.I of the XIVth Congress of the U.I.S.P.P., Liege 2001. Trabalhos Arqu. 33 (Lissabon 2003) 213–221 Using the calpal software, these dates translate into 26,883±401 to 30,824±338 calendar years ago. This renders Breitenbach a very late representative of the Aurignacian tradition, as the Gravettian is well represented in Central and Eastern Europe at this time (see above).</p><br>
<h3>Site organization and structures</h3><br>
<p>At Breitenbach there is evidence for spatially differentiated activity zones, with foci of specific activities. This is suggested by the presence of large stone manuports, imported and intentionally arranged sandstone slabs, pits and hearths. The sandstone slabs in particular hint at repeated longer-term occupations. Four high-lithic concentrations were tentatively labelled as “lithic workshops”. Burned bone and lithics occur in large numbers. The find horizon is well-pronounced and appears quite distinct from the over/underlying layers. These characteristics suggest a repeated, more permanent settlement behaviour that hitherto was only known from the Gravettian.</p><br>
<h3>Finds</h3><br>
<p>Aurignacian artefact production is characterised by an increasing inclusion of bone and antler as raw materials and also the production of non-utilitarian objects. The Breitenbach lithic inventory (n=737) is made exclusively of Baltic flint and shows a high prevalence of keeled, simple and nosed scrapers, as well as various types of burins. In addition to the lithic implements a small number of worked bone tools, as well as non-utilitarian objects in the form of several perforated Arctic fox canines, an incised rib fragment and a piece of worked ivory have also been described.</p><br>
<h3>Faunal remains</h3><br>
<p>Since well-preserved faunal remains from Aurignacian open-air sites are rare, the relatively good preservation of the faunal materials is noteworthy. Together with the open-air site Lommersum, Breitenbach is the only Aurignacian open-air site in northern Central Europe known to have a faunal inventory. The Breitenbach faunal remains have to date only been partially described and are currently undergoing more detailed analysis. The site is primarily known for its mammoth remains, which initially alerted Thiersch to the presence of an archaeological site. Also occurring in numbers at the site are the remains of horse, reindeer and to a lesser extent those of woolly rhino, hyena, wolf, lion, Arctic fox and Arctic hare.</p><br>
<h2>Neolithic settlement</h2><br>
<p>A Neolithic settlement, belonging to the Linear Pottery Culture (c. between 7.500–5.500 years ago) overlying the Palaeolithic layer was first recognized during geological sondages by Hess von Wichdorff in 1927(3). He noted surface finds and the outlines of several living structures. During the course of the investigation, large numbers of pottery shards and several lithic axes were recovered. The Neolithic settlement is currently excavated by the State Office for Heritage Management and Archaeology Saxony-Anhalt.</p><br>

<p>The David W. Smouse Opportunity School is a historical building located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. The building was designed by the Des Moines architectural firm of Proudfoot, Rawson, Souers & Thomas in the Tudor Revival style. The school opened in 1931 and served the educational needs of 165 students with physical disabilities that were unable to attend a regular public school. It was the only school in Iowa that was built to desegregate handicapped children, who were generally institutionalized in isolation. The facility was designed for their individual needs. The blackboards were tilted to prevent glare for the visually impaired, rooms were designed to carry sound vibrations for the hearing impaired students. Large windows and three courtyards provided fresh air. One of the courtyards had a fountain. The restrooms were adapted, temperature controls in each classroom, and a rooftop playground was included in the building’s design. A swimming pool was added in 1955. Financial gifts were used to purchase works of art throughout the building. Imported ceramic tiles, wrought iron signs, working fireplaces and decorative light fixtures also adorned the facility. The school was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.</p><br>
<p>The Lincoln Colored Home, also known as the Lincoln Colored Old Folks and Orphans Home, was opened March 8, 1898 and remained in operation in Springfield, Illinois until 1933. It was one of the first orphanages for African American children in the United States. The actual building is still standing and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<p>The home, located at 427 South 12th Street in Springfield, IL, was built in 1904 after the original home at the same site was razed. Currently, the home stands empty in a state of disrepair, although the last two owners of the property have made efforts to restore it.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Lincoln Colored Old Folks and Orphans Home was founded by Eva Carroll Monroe in 1898. Monroe had moved to Springfield from Kewanee, Illinois two years earlier and managed to save $125 in that time and place a down payment on the property. Despite her fellow townspeople thinking her foolish to do so, Monroe wished to open a home to care for black orphans. Three other orphanages were in operation in Springfield at that time but none of them would take in children of color.</p><br>
<p>Monroe’s efforts were brought to the attention of Mary Lawrence. Lawrence was the widow of Rheuna Lawrence, a past mayor of Springfield. If not for Lawrence’s involvement, the home would have been closed when Monroe had fallen behind on the property mortgage and was in danger of foreclosure. Lawrence not only paid $1400 to bring Monroe current on her debts but also brought considerable political attentions to the home through her community connections.</p><br>
<p>Lawrence persuaded Monroe to raze the existing structure, which the locals had referred to as the “Haunted House” when Monroe first purchased it, and build a new structure. The new house included doors, windows, stained glass and chandeliers from Lawrence’s own home after she and her daughter Susan Lawrence Dana commissioned architect Frank Lloyd Wright to remodel their Victorian mansion on East Lawrence Avenue in Springfield, which some say was the highest commissioned job he had taken on at that point in his career.</p><br>
<p>On March 11, 1906 the new Lincoln Colored Old Folks and Orphans Home was dedicated to the memory of Mary Lawrence on the anniversary of her sudden death a year earlier. At that time Monroe was caring for 29 children and eight elderly women. A big part of the home’s continued success was due to Susan Lawrence Dana, who continued her mother’s support of the home both financially and politically.</p><br>
<p>The home’s demise began when philosophical and social changes began occurring in the mid-1920s. Across the United States people began to feel that foster-parenting was a more acceptable way of raising children who were without parents. Many people also felt that a college education was mandatory for someone who ran a facility such as the Lincoln Colored Home. These two shifts in the country’s mind-set led to the home losing its licensing to care for the elderly. In 1933 the State of Illinois would not grant a new license to the home to care for orphans. The 32 children in the home at that time were dispersed either back to their own homes or to boarding homes, ending Monroe’s dream.</p><br>
<h2>Current status</h2><br>
<p>The home and the property it sits on were sold at auction in 1944 and the proceeds went to pay for Dana’s medical bills. Ownership of the property has changed hands a few times since then and is now owned by the estate of Lyman Hubbard, Sr, a former Tuskeegee Airman who died in 2012. Members of Hubbard&#39;s family hope to see their father’s dream of restoring and preserving the site come to reality.</p><br>
<p>Rognosa dEtiache  or Rognosa dÉtache  is a mountain in the Cottian Alps on the border of Turin, Italy, and Savoie, France. It has an elevation of 3,382 metres above sea level.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The mountain is located at the head of the Susa valley in Italy and the Maurienne valley in France and is on the border of the Italian comune of Bardonecchia to the south and the French commune of Bramans to the north.</p><br>
<p>With an elevation of 3,382 m, it is the second highest peak of the Northern Cottian Alps after the Aiguille de Scolette (3,506 m), edging out Mont d&#39;Ambin to its east by four metres.</p><br>
<p>The SOIUSA partition of the Alps places Rognosa in the Ambin group of the northern Cottian Alps, in the Etiache ridge with code I/B-9.IV-A.2.a. According to the French partition of the Western Alps, the mountain is part of the Ambin group of the :fr:Massif du Mont-Cenis.</p><br>
<h2>Access to the summit</h2><br>
<p>The mountain has a long summit ridge running NE to SW with three peaks, the Pt. NE (3,376 m) on the French border, and the Pt. SO (southwest; 3,382 m) and Torre Maria Celeste (3,342 m) on the Italian side. The SE face of the ridge is 300 m high and is pretty much vertical. It was first scaled in 1929 and offers multiple hard climbing routes. The easiest route to the summit starts from Rifugio Scarfiotti (a CAI mountain hut) and follows the WNW face. It requires some climbing skills.</p><br>

<p>Covenham Reservoir, located in East Lindsey is a 200 acre reservoir and treatment works constructed between 1963-1978 by W. & C. French. The reservoir was built next to the Louth Navigation canal and acts as a pumped storage reservoir from the canal, and can be supplemented by transfer schemes from Great Eau and Long Eau rivers.</p><br>
<p>Opened in 1972 by Princess Alexandra, the reservoir was subject to some controversy as it was to be built on high grade agricultural land. The Reservoir is approximately 1 km by 1 km in size and the depth is approximately 20m. Remedial works concerning a slip (movement) in the north embankment were undertaken at some point.</p><br>
<p>The reservoir is situated between Grimsby and Louth in Lincolnshire. The reservoir hosts a watersports centre offering sailing, waterskiing and diving with a perimeter walkway open to the public. Built on the Lincolnshire coastal marsh, the sides of the reservoir offer views over surrounding farmland towards Grimsby, to the north, the coast, Louth and the Lincolnshire Wolds to the west.</p><br>
<p>The reservoir acts as storage for times of low aquifer recharge in the area, and can be used to prevent saline intrusion into the Lincolnshire chalk aquifer which is the primary source of water in East Lincolnshire. The return of treated effluent from Louth to the Louth Canal, and Great Eau transfer scheme also help to maintain the water levels of the reservoir in this relatively dry region of the UK.</p><br>
<p>The reservoir is constructed of walls all around, raised 20m above the low lying lincolnshire marsh. The structure is concrete lined, which prevents growth of marginal plants, however this does not prevent the reservoir attracting varied waterfowl and other birds.</p><br>
<p>The reservoir primarily serves the water needs of the Grimsby and Cleethorpes conurbation, as well as being a supply feed for Louth, Mablethorpe and Skegness.</p><br>
<p>In 2012 a £40 million pipeline linking the reservoir to the town of Boston in the south of the county began, and is expected to be capable of transferring 26 million litres of water a day.</p><br>
<p>Grovely Castle is the site of an Iron Age univallate hill fort in the Parish of Steeple Langford, in Wiltshire. The remaining ramparts stand approximately 3.2 m high, with 1.5 m deep ditches, although ploughing has damaged the earthworks in some parts of the site. Excavations have uncovered the remains of five human skeletons within the ramparts. Entrances are located in the southwest and northeast corners of the hillfort. A circular enclosure of 35 to 40 m is evident in aerial photographs of the hillfort interior. There is also a later bank and ditch which runs through the hill-fort from south-west to north-east, and is probably part of an extensive surrounding Celtic field system.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>The site is located at, to the south of the village of Little Langford. The site has a summit of 156 m AOD. Nearby to the east lies the Iron Age site of Ebsbury, and to the south, the largest forest in Wiltshire, Grovely Wood.</p><br>
<p>Helligvær is an island group in the Vestfjorden in the municipality of Bodø in Nordland county, Norway. The islands are located about 25 km northwest of the town of Bodø. The Bliksvær islands are about 12 km to the south, Landegode island is 15 km to the east, and Røst and Værøy islands around about 60 km to the west.</p><br>
<p>There are about 365 islands, islets, and skerries in the group. They are all low and grassy with no trees. There are five inhabited islands in the group: Sørvær (most populous), Brønnøya, Storsørøya, Vetterøya, and Vokkøya (the largest). The islanders live in small fishing villages around the island group. There were about 108 inhabitants in 2001. Helligvær Church is located on the island of Storsørøya and Grytøy Lighthouse is located on the island of Grytøy in the southern part of the island group.</p><br>
<p>The Hulman Building  is a ten-story art deco high rise in downtown Evansville, Indiana. Construction began in 1928 and was completed in 1930 with a brick facade of light yellow. It was the first of several Art Deco buildings to grace Evansville&#39;s skyline.</p><br>
<p>It was initially built as the new Central Union Bank Building and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as "Morris Plan (Central Union Bank)". However, the bank failed on 11 January 1932 during the height of the Great Depression. It is more commonly known as the Hulman Building due to its subsequent ownership by the Hulman Family of Terre Haute, Indiana, owners of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.</p><br>
<p>The building was the headquarters of Vectren and its predecessor companies until May 2005, when Vectren&#39;s new headquarters was completed next to the Ohio River. It currently houses the Evansville Commerce Bank and a law firm, among others.</p><br>
<p>Tertius  is a sandbank located in the Heligoland Bight off the coast of Dithmarschen belonging to the German state of Schleswig-Holstein.</p><br>
<p>Formerly a Hochsand (a sandbank rising above the ordinary high water mark, effectively an island), Tertius has been reduced in elevation by coastal erosion in recent decades. As a result, the sandbank is frequently submerged and devoid of terrestrial vegetation. Recent satellite images show that Tertius is often even awash at low tide. Like all unprotected islands, Hochsände, and sandbanks off the west coast of Schleswig-Holstein, Tertius is migrating steadily eastwards.</p><br>
<p>Tertius lies about 10 km west of the popular tourist destination of Büsum in the Meldorf Bay, bordering the tidal channel Piep, which serves as the access waterway to the port of Büsum. To the south lies the island of Trischen, and to the northeast lies the Hochsand of Blauort. According to the Schleswig-Holstein National Park Office in Tönning, Tertius, like Blauort, belongs to the parish of Hedwigenkoog in the district of Dithmarschen. However, the state government of Schleswig-Holstein has not yet officially confirmed and authorised this, so the sandbank technically remains an unorganised location.</p><br>
<p>Tertius, when not submerged, provides a resting ground for seabirds and seals. Sightseeing tours are sometimes organised from Büsum to observe these animals. Though the sandbank is not part of the highly protected Zone 1 of the Schleswig-Holstein Wadden Sea National Park, public access to Tertius is subject to restrictions.</p><br>
<p>The only man-made structure on the island is a daymark, which serves as an optical navigational aid for ships.</p><br>

<p>San Anton , is the mountain and half-island of Getaria&#39;s coast. San Anton is attached to the mainland by a breakwater. It has an abrupt slope, and is one of the most popular places of Basque Country. It is used principally for recreation by the local population. The mountain has a natural park. The top of the mountainside is flatter, and it is decorated by trees. Its precipice is formed with rocks, specially with one called Armeria euskadiensis.</p><br>
<p>San Anton mountain takes its name from an ancient hermitage, which was located near the actual lighthouse before it was destroyed by the French in the first half of 19th century. It was a privileged vantage point to see whales, whose capture was one of the jobs of people from this town.</p><br>
<p>This island was intentionally attached to the port in the 15th century. The breakwater was given the name of "The Passage" in order to complete the construction of a small harbor for the mountain-island, replacing the old rocky ridge that had been destroyed by a storm. Fortifications, an 1863 lighthouse and farmhouses like Abeta, Agoteaundi and Gure ametsa decorate San Anton.</p><br>
<p>Rancho Joaquina House  is a Mission Revival/Spanish Colonial Revival mansion in the Arcadia neighborhood of Phoenix. Built in 1924/1925 by the noted Phoenix architectural firm Fitzhugh & Byron, the mansion is known as the earliest adobe revival property in the Phoenix area. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and on the historic register for the City of Phoenix.</p><br>
<p>The property was built for J.E. Thompson, who was once a Republican United States Senatorial candidate in Arizona. He was also the younger brother of William Boyce Thompson. The 1950s television show 26 Men was filmed, in part, on the estate. The house was largely vacant in the 1950s and 1960s, during which time local children believed the property to be haunted.</p><br>
<p>Sometime while J.E. Thompson was residing in the house, he is known to have shot and killed a man on the property who threatened to kidnap his son if Thompson did not pay a ransom of $35,000. He later gave the money to the family after learning that the slain man&#39;s wife was ill.</p><br>
<p>In 1970, the property was renovated and became a designer show house. The estate today is surrounded by the El Coronado Estates community which was built in the late 60s and early 70s.</p><br>

<p>Chinle Valley is a 65-mile  long valley located mostly in Apache County Arizona. Chinle Creek continues north into Utah to meet the San Juan River .</p><br>
<p>Chinle Valley is defined by the course of Chinle Wash, with the region as part of the high elevation Colorado Plateau. Numerous washes and creeks feed the Chinle Wash, because the valley lies among higher elevation regions; the Black Mesa borders its west and southwest, the Carrizo, Lukachukai, and Chuska Mountains border east and southeast. The south valley region is part of the northwest of the Defiance Plateau-(Defiace Uplift), and is the location ol Canyon de Chelly National Monument.</p><br>
<p>Chinle Valley is one of the locations for the Chinle Formation, (no type locality), of Arizona, Utah, New Mexico, Colorado, and west Texas.</p><br>
<p>Monument Valley, of Arizona and Utah, is at the northwest border of Chinle Valley.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Chinle Valley is mostly a north-south trending valley, about 65-mi long. The valley contains numerous smaller mesas, and associated washes, that all trend into the centerline of the north-flowing Chinle Creek, (Chinle Wash).</p><br>
<p>The low point of the valley is in the north, where Chinle Creek continues north to meet the San Juan River in Utah, about 16-mi distant from Mexican Water, Arizona.</p><br>
<h3>Creeks & lakes</h3><br>
<p>Two lakes are found in Chinle Valley. Many Farms Lake is located on Sheep Dip Creek at Many Farms, Arizona, about 1.5-mi from the Chinle Wash. Just northeast, and 3-mi southeast of Round Rock, Arizona is Round Rock Reservoir, located on Navajo Route 12, and between Lukachukai Creek (from the Lukachukai Mountains, 7-mi east), and Agua Sal Creek, from the northwest Chuska Mountains (the small Tunitcha Mountains area).</p><br>
<h2>Access</h2><br>
<p>The main access route through Chinle Valley is the north-south traversing of USA 191 & USA 191 in Utah.</p><br>
<p>For Arizona, Chinle, Arizona is located adjacent the valley&#39;s south terminus, and is also the location of the outflow of Chinle Wash from Canyon de Chelly. Just north on USA 191 lies Many Farms, Arizona, where Navajo Route 59 terminates. Route 59 comes from the northwest, east of Kayenta, and follows the northeast flank of the Black Mesa.</p><br>
<p>Round Rock, Arizona is just north on USA 191, but easterly on a site neighboring Lukachukai Creek, (and east of Agua Sal Creek), both southeast tributaries to Chinle Wash. Continuing north, Rock Point, Arizona (just northeast of Plane Rock, 5,621 ft), is near the Chinle Valley center, and on Chinle Wash; three routes converge in the Rock Point region, Navajo Route 35 (and Route 5040) are east, Navajo Route 8070 comes from the southwest, from the region of Trading Post Wash, and the north of Carson Mesa, (a section of the southwest of Chinle Valley), and Navajo Route 18, from USA Route 160 to the northwest.</p><br>
<p>The north terminus region of Chinle Valley is the site of Mexican Water, Arizona; it lies between USA 191 on the Utah-Arizona border, and USA Route 160 in Arizona adjacent south. USA 160 traverses east-west through the north terminus region of Chinle Valley. In the west the route turns southwesterly and follows Laguna Creek (Arizona) which parallels a due-southwest trending section of Comb Ridge, of both northeast Arizona and southeast Utah.</p><br>
<p>In Utah, USA Route 191 in Utah leaves the north terminus area of Chinle Valley (Mexican Water region), and follows the Chinle Creek course at its east (Nokaito Bench), and intersects USA 163, near Bluff.</p><br>
<p>Alhambra Theatorium  is a historic movie theater in the Haynies Corner Arts District of Evansville, Indiana. It was designed by Frank J. Schlotter and opened on September 27, 1913 as a movie theater. The Alhambra was one of many influenced by the Alhambra Palace in Spain. Although Alhambra theatres opened all over the world, only a traditional playhouse built in New York in 1905 predates Evansville&#39;s in the United States.</p><br>
<p>The theatre cost $18,000 to build and was one of the largest movie theatres in Evansville at the time. It included a cigar shop and a confectionery, and spurred new business in the area now designated as the Haynies Corner Arts District. The theater ceased operation in 1956.</p><br>
<p>The Alhambra has been renovated a few times in the past 100 years and is in the process of being restored. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<p>Christ Chapel  is a historic chapel on Broadway at Campus Drive in Boise, Idaho on the campus of Boise State University. It is one of the oldest church buildings in the state.</p><br>
<p>The Gothic Revival building was constructed in 1866 as St. Michaels Episcopal Church. In addition to serving as a church, the building was used as a school house for St. Margaret’s School, which was founded in 1892. St. Margarets School eventually became Boise Junior College (now Boise State University) in 1932. In 1963 the Christ Chapel Historical Society was founded to restore Christ Chapel and move it to the Boise State University campus, where it remains today. The chapel was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974 and is often used for weddings today. The Historical Society continues to own the building.</p><br>
<p>The Christian Church in Boise, Idaho is a historic church at 9th and Franklin Streets. The Romanesque-style church was built in 1910-1911 and added to the National Register in 1978.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed "architecturally significant as a good example of the brick Romanesque style applied to an ecclesiastical building. Following the Joplin plan, a standard Christian church design of the period, it is similar to other Christian churches throughout the nation, including the one in Eugene, Oregon. Its hexagonal dome, offset by the two large gables, is rare in Idaho and makes the building a landmark. The stained glass windows are of high quality and exhibit good craftsmanship, as does the interior woodwork. The Balcom and Vaughan theater organ, manufactured in Seattle, is one of the two extant vacuum operated theater organs in Boise (the other is in the Ada Theater)."</p><br>
<p>Stonework was by mason Charles Storey, who also worked on Boises St. Johns cathedral and the State Capitol.</p><br>
<p>Mount Mourne Plantation is a former Southern plantation and historic house located in Mount Mourne, Iredell County, North Carolina. It was built in 1836, and is a two-story, five-bay transitional Federal / Greek Revival style frame dwelling. It features a hipped roof entrance portico with four fluted Tuscan order columns.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The plantation house was built by Major Rufus Reid (1797-1854). He grew cotton, wheat and corn. In its heyday, the Plantation was one of the largest in the area, and the second largest in Iredell County, being worked by around 88 slaves at one point. This made Rufus Reid one of the wealthiest and most prosperous planters in not only the area, but the state as a whole.</p><br>
<h2>At present</h2><br>
<p>It is currently privately owned, and is closed to the public. The plantation gave its name to the modern-day community of Mount Mourne, North Carolina, in which the home is located.</p><br>
<p>The Scots Mining Company House, also known as Woodlands Hall, is an early-18th-century mansion house in Leadhills, South Lanarkshire, Scotland. The house was built around 1736 for the manager of the Leadhills mines, which were owned by the Earl of Hopetoun. Its design has been attributed to the architect William Adam.</p><br>
<p>The house is now a category A listed building. The garden, which is largely unchanged since it was laid out in the 18th century, is included on the Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes in Scotland, the national listing of significant gardens.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Lead and silver have been mined at Leadhills in the Southern Uplands for centuries. In the 17th century, Sir James Hope (1614–1661) married Anne, daughter of Robert Foulis of Leadhills, and the mines subsequently passed to his descendents the Earls of Hopetoun. The Scots Mining Company, formally The Governor and Company for Working the Mines and Minerals in that part of North Britain called Scotland, was formed by a London-based group of Scottish merchants. They took a lease on part of the mines in 1729, and in 1735 they appointed James Stirling of Keir (1692–1770) as managing agent. Stirling was a noted mathematician and scientist who had lived in Venice and London, and was a member of the Royal Society.</p><br>
<p>The house at Leadhills was built between 1734 and 1736 for James Stirling. At this time, the architect William Adam (1689–1748) was engaged by Charles Hope, 1st Earl of Hopetoun (1681–1742) at Hopetoun House, and Adam&#39;s name has been linked to the design of both the house and its garden, though the only record of his involvement is on a building account for the supply of timber.</p><br>
<p>James Stirling proved adept at managing the Leadhills mines, despite his lack of practical experience. Under his tenure the mines became "one of the most profitable industrial enterprises in Scotland".</p><br>
<p>By the middle of the 19th century, the lead mines were becoming less profitable, and a series of lawsuits affected the companys profitability. In 1861 the Scots Mining Company was wound up. The managers house became a shooting lodge, and a small chapel was built in the garden. The gardens are now held by the Scots Mining Company House Trust, a registered charity. The trust seeks to maintain the gardens as a community resource, and aims to restore the herb garden.</p><br>
<h2>House and garden</h2><br>
<p>The house comprises a two-storey main block with a piend roof. To this was added in 1737 a wing to the south, and in 1740 a larger wing to the north. The gardens contain the remains of an ice house and a small chapel. The garden is surrounded by mature trees, the only woodland in the village. At the high point of the garden was a viewing platform overlooking the village, taken down in 2003. A single storey entrance lodge has been demolished, and the former stables are now derelict and listed on the Buildings at Risk Register for Scotland.</p><br>

<p>The Trumpington bed burial is an early Anglo-Saxon burial of a young woman, dating to the mid-7th century, that was excavated in Trumpington, Cambridgeshire, England in 2011. The burial is significant both as a rare example of a bed burial, and because of the ornate gold pectoral cross inlaid with garnets that was found in the grave.</p><br>
<p>The Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge has indicated that it wishes to acquire the pectoral cross once it has been valued by the Treasure Valuation Committee.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The occupant of the grave was a young woman, aged about 16, who was buried lying on a wooden bed (now decayed, but identifiable from its iron brackets). She was buried with a number of grave goods, including an iron knife, a chatelaine, and some glass beads that perhaps originally decorated a purse. Most notably, an ornate gold pectoral cross was found on her breast. The small cross, only 3.5 cm across, is inlaid with garnets, and would have been sewn onto the robe that she was wearing, as indicated by loops on the back of each arm of the cross.</p><br>
<h2>Archaeological context</h2><br>
<p>The bed burial and three other Anglo-Saxon graves were discovered in summer 2011 as part of a series of archaeological excavations carried out by the Cambridge Archaeological Unit of the University of Cambridge in Trumpington Meadows, on the outskirts of the village of Trumpington, within the city of Cambridge, prior to the redevelopment of the land for housing. The excavations uncovered a variety of features from a long period of time, including two long barrows dating to the early Neolithic, a double burial dating to the Beaker culture, and an Iron Age settlement. The Anglo-Saxon graves and other Anglo-Saxon features, including sunken floored buildings, were discovered in a field north of the meadows. Of the three other graves, two were also of young women, but none of them were bed burials or contained any grave goods. It is thought that the buildings and graves must be associated with a settlement, perhaps a monastic community, although no early Anglo-Saxon settlement was previously known to exist at Trumpington. Examples of 7th-century religious foundations for royal women include Barking Abbey, Essex for Saint Ethelburga and Minster Abbey, Kent founded for Saint Ermenburga.</p><br>
<h2>Significance</h2><br>
<p>A small number of bed burials, no more than a dozen and mostly of women, are known from the Anglo-Saxon period, but they are comparatively rare. Other sites where bed burials have been excavated in recent years include Coddenham in Suffolk, Collingbourne Ducis in Wiltshire, and Loftus in North Yorkshire.</p><br>
<p>Anglo-Saxon jewelled gold pectoral crosses are also very uncommon, with only five similar examples known, including one on St Cuthbert&#39;s coffin. It is probable that the owner of this cross was a member of the Anglo-Saxon nobility or possibly even a member of one of the royal families. The only previously known case of a bed burial with a pectoral cross, discovered in the 19th century at Ixworth in Suffolk, was poorly documented, which makes this discovery particularly significant.</p><br>
<p>The cross indicates that the occupant of the grave was a Christian, but she was also buried with secular grave goods that are more indicative of the pagan tradition, and so the grave may date to a period of transition from paganism to the adoption of Christianity by the Anglo-Saxon ruling class.</p><br>
<p>Mount Yonaha, also known as Mount Yunaha, is a mountain located in Kunigami on the main island of Okinawa in Okinawa Prefecture. The mountain has an elevation of 503 m, but Yonaha-dake triangulation station is located at the next peak of elevation of 498 m.</p><br>
<h2>Etymology</h2><br>
<p>The name of Mount Yonaha in the Japanese language is formed from three kanji,, and. The kanji are ateji, or kanji used phonetically to represent native or borrowed words.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Mount Yonaha is located approximately 80 km north of the capital of Okinawa Prefecture, Naha, and approximately 4.5 km east of the Okuma district of Kunigami. Mount Yonaha is formed from schist, phyllite, and sandstone, and dates from the Tertiary period to the mid-Mesozoic era. Mount Yonaha appears to be a gentle slope, but its summit is surrounded by a series of complex valleys. It is the highest mountain on the island and the second highest in the prefecture after Mount Omoto 525.5 m in Ishigaki, Okinawa. Mount Yonaha is part of the Okinawa Kaigan Quasi-National Park, and is the highest mountain in the park. A paved mountain road extends from the village of Kunigami at the base of Mount Yonaha to the mountain summit. Mount Yonaha is also home to the largest waterfall on Okinawa Island, the Hiji Waterfall (26 m). Mounta Yonaha, due to the effect of the Kuroshio Current, is almost always covered in fog.</p><br>

<h2>Yanbaru forest</h2><br>
<p>Mount Yonaha is at the center of the Yanbaru forest that spans the villages of Higashi, Kunigami, and Ōgimi. Yanbaru contains some of the last large surviving tracts of subtropical rainforest in Asia, and the mountain is lush with evergreens forests. While Mount Yonaha is an important natural habitat to numerous species of plants, birds, and animals, the ecology of the mountain has been negatively affected by agricultural development at the base of the mountain, and lumbering and the subsequent establishment of second-growth forest.</p><br>
<h2>Military installation</h2><br>
<p>The summit of Mount Yonaha is approximately 2 km west of the border of Camp Gonsalves, a jungle warfare training center of the United States Marine Corps.</p><br>
<p>The Turner Home  is in Dingle Lane, Toxteth, Liverpool, Merseyside, England. Founded for the care of sick and disadvantaged men, it continues to function as a registered residential and nursing home for men. The building is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The building of the home was completed in 1884 and was designed by Alfred Waterhouse. It was built for Mrs Anne Turner as a memorial to her recently deceased husband and son. Her husband was Charles Turner, a Liverpool merchant who originated from Yorkshire. Charles Turner died in 1875, followed by his son five years later. The first full title of the home was “The Turner Memorial Home of Rest for Chronic Sufferers”. By the 1980s the fabric of the building had deteriorated, and in 1984 a Centenary Appeal was launched to raise money for essential repairs and improvements. Following this, as nursing standards and regulations changed, more modern accommodation was provided. In 1993 the Eric Fischer Wing was built, containing 44 bedrooms with en-suite facilities. This was followed in 2000 by the Ian Tod Wing, which incorporated a rehabilitation unit, a lounge, and six more bedrooms. The home is dual-registered as a residential and a nursing facility. In addition to medical and nursing care, chiropody, dental care, an optician&#39;s service, and hairdressing are provided. Parts of the main building continue to be used for communal activities, including dining, and games such as pool and snooker. Religious services are held twice a week in the chapel. Holidays and outings are arranged for the residents. The work of the home is supported by a League of Friends.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The home is constructed in red ashlar sandstone with a tiled roof. Its architectural style is Gothic Revival. It has a very irregular plan, and is mainly in two storeys with attics. It is entered by a timber gabled porch, to the right of which is a bay containing a clock dated 1883. Further to the right is a five-bay chapel. This has a five-light east window containing Perpendicular tracery, and three-light windows along the sides. To the left of the entrance porch, and set back from it, is a round turret with a conical roof. The window in the main part of the building are framed in stone, with mullions and transoms. The doorways have pointed archways, and the chimneys are tall and clustered together. In the entrance hall is a life-size marble statue, commissioned by Anne Turner, of her late husband and son, seated and inspecting a piece of cloth. It was carved by Hamo Thornycroft in 1885. The chapel has an open timber roof, a gallery housing the organ, and an aisle with an arcade supported on octagonal columns. Behind the altar is a carved alabaster reredos. The stained glass in the window above is by Heaton, Butler and Bayne. Flanking the windows are boards with the Ten Commandments, the Creed and the Lord&#39;s Prayer.</p><br>
<h2>Lodge</h2><br>
<p>At the entrance to the drive leading to the home is a lodge, also dating from 1884 and designed by Waterhouse. It is constructed in stone with a tiled roof, and has an L-shaped plan. The lodge is listed, separately from the home, at Grade II.</p><br>
<p>The Alpi Cusiane  are a sub-range of the Pennine Alps located in Piemonte .</p><br>
<h2>Etymology</h2><br>
<p>Alpi Cusiane literally means Alps of Cusio; Cusio is the geographical and historical area surrounding Lake of Orta, nowadays part of the province of Verbano-Cusio-Ossola.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Administratively the westernmost part of the range belongs to the province of Vercelli, the southern part to province of Novara and the eastern and central ones to province of Verbano-Cusio-Ossola.</p><br>
<h3>Borders</h3><br>
<p>Borders of the Alpi Cusiane are (clockwise):</p><br>
<p>Varallo Sesia, Mastallone creek, Tesslu pass, Strona creek, Gravellona Toce (north),</p><br>
<p>Lago Maggiore (east),</p><br>
<p>Po plain between Arona and Gattinara (south),</p><br>
<p>Valsesia from Gattinara to Varallo Sesia (west).</p><br>
<h3>SOIUSA classification</h3><br>
<p>According to SOIUSA (International Standardized Mountain Subdivision of the Alps) the mountain range is an Alpine supergroup classified in the following way:</p><br>
<p>main part=Western Alps</p><br>
<p>major sector=North-Western Alps</p><br>
<p>section=Pennine Alps</p><br>
<p>subsection=Southern Valsesia Alps</p><br>
<p>supergroup=Alpi Cusiane</p><br>
<p>code=I/B-9.IV-B</p><br>
<h3>Subdivision</h3><br>
<p>The Alpi Cusiane are divided into two Alpine groups, none of them further subdivided in subgroups (in brackets is reported their SOIUSA code):</p><br>
<p>costiera Capio-Massa del Turlo ( I/B-9.IV-B.1)</p><br>
<p>massiccio del Mottarone ( I/B-9.IV-B.2)</p><br>
<p>These two groups are connected by a low saddle not faraway from Gozzano.</p><br>
<h2>Geology</h2><br>
<p>From the geological point of view the Alpi Cusiane are considered part of the Prealpine zone, divided from the crystalline zone of the Alps by the Insubric line. This important geologic fault forms the border between the Adriatic plate and the European plate. Hills and mountains located south-east of the line, like the Alpi Cusiane, can be considered part of southern Apulian foreland.</p><br>
<h2>Notable summits</h2><br>
<h2>Winter sports</h2><br>
<p>In the Alpi Cusiane is located the ski resort of Mottarone, with 21 km of downhill skiing slopes; it&#39;s connected with Stresa by a cableway.</p><br>
<p>Milgate House, previously Milgate Park, is an English country house in Thurnham near Maidstone, Kent. The oldest parts of the house were constructed in the mid to late 16th century and alterations and additions were made in the 17th and 18th centuries. The house is a Grade I listed building.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>During the 14th and 15th centuries, the Milgate estate was owned by the Coloigne or Coluney family. It was sold to the Stonehouse family in the later 15th century who passed it around 1560 to Sir Thomas Fludd (d. 1607), a courtier to Queen Elizabeth I.</p><br>
<p>It was probably Sir Thomas who had Milgate House built. Physician Robert Fludd, his seventh child, was born there in 1574. A second Thomas Fludd, son of the first, sold the house to William Cage in 1624. The house remained in the Cage family during the remainder of the 17th century and throughout the 18th century. At the end of the 17th century it was owned by William Cage, three times member of parliament for Rochester, who carried out extensive alterations. His son, Lewis Cage, also altered the house in the 1760s. In the mid 19th century the house became the property of Sir Brook Bridges on his marriage to Fanny Cage.</p><br>
<p>By 1900, the house was owned by Walter Fremlin of the local Fremlins&#39; brewing family. Following his death in 1925, most of the 2,375 acre estate was sold off in lots. The house and the residual estate then passed through various hands. By the late 1960s only 10 acre remained with the house. In the 1970s the house was the home of Lady Caroline Blackwood and Robert Lowell.</p><br>
<h2>Building</h2><br>
<p>The house is approached from the north. The main entrance is in the centre of the north wing which was constructed with the left return wing in the early 18th century as an L-shaped addition to the earlier house. Further additions were made in the mid and late 18th century.</p><br>
<p>The red brick north wing is two storeys high with an attic and is seven bays wide with the three centre bays projecting slightly. The left return (east end) of the north wing is four bays wide. Large sash windows on both floors of each are framed with decorative gauged brickwork. The central projection of the north wing is topped by a pediment containing an oval Oeil-de-boeuf window and the main door in its centre is flanked by Corinthian pilasters supporting an entablature and frieze with the initials "WC". The pitched roof is tiled and contains a dormer window each side of the central pediment. A two-storey mid 18th-century bay extends the right return (west end) of the north wing.</p><br>
<p>Behind the north wing are three earlier two-storey wings dating from the mid or late 16th century surrounding a central courtyard. The structures are believed to be timber framed although the brick façades were refaced in the late 17th century or early 18th century. The pitched roofs contain dormers on each of the three sides &ndash; two to the west side and three each to the east and the south sides. The east and west wings are six bays long and the south seven bays. A large chimney stack with four chimneys forms the right end of the west wing.</p><br>
<p>The Little River County Courthouse is a courthouse at Main and 2nd Streets in Ashdown, Arkansas, United States, the county seat of Little River County. Built in 1907, it is a roughly square red brick structure with Classical Revival styling and a dome rising from the center of its hipped roof. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Little River County was cut from Sevier County and established in 1867. The county seat was established in Alleene in 1867 and was moved to Richmond in 1880. The courthouse burned in 1882 and citizens of Richmond rebuilt the courthouse for free in hopes of keeping county administration in town, where it remained until moving to Rocky Comfort in 1902. Another election moved the courthouse to Ashdown in 1906 and the present structure was built the following year.</p><br>
<p>The Nevada–California–Oregon Railway Passenger Station  is a historic train station in Lakeview, Oregon, United States. It was built in 1912 by contractor I. A. Underwood from plans by architect Frederic DeLongchamps. It was the northern terminus of the Nevada–California–Oregon Railway. The Southern Pacific Railroad company owned and operated the depot from 1928 until 1975, when it was closed. Since 1978, the building has been used as a law office and later a private residence. Because of its importance to local history, the depot was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The town of Lakeview was established in 1876. The community grew slowly because of its isolated frontier location. In May 1900, a large fire destroyed 64 of the town’s 66 buildings, leaving 700 residents homeless. Most of the homes and business structures were replaced by October of that year. Much of the reconstruction was financed by Doctor Bernard Daly, a local physician, banker, and businessman.</p><br>
<p>In 1908, a new county courthouse was built in the center of town on the south side of Center Street (the town’s main east-west street) between E Street and F Street (the town’s main north-south streets). In 1912, the Nevada–California–Oregon Railway reached Lakeview, spurring commercial growth in the community. In the two years following the arrival of the railroad, over $200,000 was invested in Lakeview’s downtown business area. One of the most important buildings constructed during this period was the Nevada–California–Oregon Railway Passenger Station. The station cost $15,000 to build. It was dedicated on 5 November 1912. The only two local construction projects undertaken during this period that were more costly were the Heryford Brothers Building and Lakeview’s high school building.</p><br>
<p>In 1928, the Nevada–California–Oregon Railway was acquired by the Western Pacific Railroad, a subsidiary of Southern Pacific. Passenger service to Lakeview was discontinued in 1937. Southern Pacific continued its freight service until 1975, when the depot was closed. Beginning in 1978, the building was leased for use as a law office and residence. After a legal battle over the property’s title, the depot building and approximately 0.5 acre of land surrounding it were conveyed to a private owner.</p><br>
<p>The Lakeview Depot is significant because it is an intact example of early 20th century railroad station architecture in eastern Oregon. It is also the only documented example of an Oregon building designed by Frederick J. DeLongchamps. Because of its architectural interest and the important role it played in the commercial development of Lakeview, the Nevada–California–Oregon Railway Passenger Station was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on 22 August 1983. Today, the depot is privately owned.</p><br>
<h2>Structure</h2><br>
<p>The historic Nevada–California–Oregon passenger station is located on the western edge of Lakeview, facing a T-intersection. Center Street, the city’s main east-west street, ends at N Street immediately in front of the depot. The building is set parallel with the north-south oriented railroad tracks. The depot’s main entrance faces east, looking out across a small parking lot and directly up Center Street. The property to the north, south, and west of the depot is undeveloped. The rear of the building faces the railroad tracks, which are located approximately 30 ft from the station’s rear entrance.</p><br>
<p>The Lakeview Depot was designed by Frederick J. DeLongchamps, a well known regional architect with offices in San Francisco and Reno. The depot was constructed by I. A. (Andy) Underwood, a prominent Lakeview builder. The depot is a two-story Mission Revival style structure with some Prairie School architectural influences. It is a brick masonry structure built on a concrete foundation with a footprint measuring 60 ft by 30 ft. The depot has a hip roof, covered with tin sheets stamped to look like mission tiles. The structure has wide overhanging eaves supported by large triangular brackets set in pairs. There is an arcade style pavilion attached to the south end of the building. The pavilion is covered by curvilinear gable typical of the California Mission style. The banks of windows under the overhanging eaves and a prominent belt course of masonry high on the exterior walls are typical of the Prairie School architecture. These exterior features are all common characteristics of railroad passenger stations constructed during the period just prior to World War I.</p><br>
<p>The depot’s trim features are of rock-faced ashlar. The original tile marquee is located above the double-doors main passenger entrance. Ceramic tile is also used in a lozenge-shaped decorative accent on the south face of the pavilion at the south end of the building. The depot windows are double-hung sash. They have small panes in the upper sash with a single pane below. The baggage room doors are double-leaf with an arched header.</p><br>
<p>The ground floor interior is typical of railroad passenger stations of that era. The old telegraph office is located on the west side of the building overlooking the railroad tracks. This allowed the telegraph operator to see incoming trains from inside the building. The waiting room is located at the south end of the building. The baggage and freight room is located at the north end with the railroad agent’s office in between. The second story was designed to be the living quarters for the station master.</p><br>
<p>The depot’s exterior is unaltered from its original design and the interior is structurally intact except for a false ceiling installed in the passenger waiting room. The date of this alteration is unknown. The station’s original equipment and furnishings were removed after Southern Pacific abandoned the building in 1975. Beginning in 1978, private owners replaced damaged window frames and rotted floorboards in the waiting room. Plaster walls have also been patched and refinished. The interior doors, window trim, staircase, and exposed ceiling beams have been stripped and refinished to restore their original form and treatment.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>The Nevada–California–Oregon Railway Passenger Station occupies the southwest quarter of the northwest quarter section, Section 15, Township 39 South, Range 20 East of the Willamette Meridian in Lake County, Oregon. The 0.5 acre property is located at the west end of Center Street in Lakeview. The building faces east, looking directly up Center Street. The rear of the depot faces the north-south oriented railroad tracks.</p><br>
<p>Ashley Planes was a historic freight cable railroad situated along three separately powered inclined plane sections located between Ashley, Pennsylvania at the foot, and via the Solomon cutting the yard in Mountain Top over 1,000 ft above and initially built between 1837-38 by Lehigh Coal & Navigation Companys subsidiary Lehigh and Susquehanna Railroad . One result of the 1837 updates of omnibus transportation bills called the Main Line of Public Works , the legislation was undertaken with an eye to enhance and better connect eastern settlements business interests with newer mid-western territories rapidly undergoing population explosions in the Pre-Civil War era. But those manufactories needed a source of heat, and the Northern Pennsylvania Coal Region was barely connected to eastern markets except by pack mule, or only through long and arduous routes down the Susquehanna then overland to Philadelphia.</p><br>
<p>The Ashley Planes job was to join two railroad sections at either elevation and bridge over the drainage divide between the Susquehanna Valley and that of the Lehigh/Delaware valleys. It was purpose-built to join the freight capacity of two canals (The Pennsylvania Canal System, locally the West Susquehanna Division at Pittston and the Lehigh Canal) and via the Susquehanna, connect to other transportation infrastructure between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh&mdash;in intent the Planes role in the legislation was specifically to connect the seaports of the Delaware River with the new interior settlements of the near-midwest along the tributary rivers of the vast Mississippi River drainage basin. More pragmatically, it was designed during the mid-canal era as part of an overall strategic schema to lift heavy freight eastwards out of the Susquehanna Valley in suburban Wilkes-Barre into the eastside descents which gravity aided to the canal head and thence using cheap practical water transport ended feeding much needed coal into all the big coastal cities of the Eastern United States accessible via the Delaware Valley, and indeed to trans-oceanic destinations.</p><br>
<p>This connecting road was seen by design as a key important link that connected by the shortest path Pittsburgh, the Ohio River and the midwest to the eastern coastal cities via the Pennsylvania Canal System and later, other railroads (that newfangled but rapidly advancing technology). To properly appreciate its role in history, one must understand in 1837–1838 the mobile steam locomotives of the day were still in the early stages of development and relatively weak and under powered even compared to those available in the 1850s; hence political planners and businessmen had a mindset thinking canals and water transport via barges over natural water features were the only pragmatic means of shipping bulk goods; and even then coal was in high demand as the eastern USA had denuded its large stands of woods.</p><br>
<p>Built in 1837–1838 by the Lehigh Coal & Navigation Company (LC&N) in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania concurrently with rail lines extended Lehigh Canal the Planes were connected by rail to the Pennsylvania Canal sending goods and passengers west and a via Mountain Top by rail to White Haven, which route sent Northern Coal Region anthracite down the newly extended Lehigh Canal as well. The incline railroads were located at Fairview Township and Hanover Township. Before and after loading, coal hoppers would be staged from the Central Railroad of New Jersey&#39;s (CNJ) Mountain Top Yard (leased from LH&S from the 1870s) in nearby Mountain Top, Pennsylvania. The three railroads were built in 1837, the 1860s, and 1909, and feature a stationary power source using cable winding and winching and cars traveling down as a counterweight to a car being lifted on parallel tracks.</p><br>
<h2>Operations</h2><br>
<p>The thousand foot lift of the cable railway was not continuous. The initial two and later three sections of the Ashley Planes railroad was capable of operation as a funicular railroad or a cable railroad, for its hoist houses all used a pusher cart called a barney hooked into a continuous cable in the same way as a modern ski lift uses a continuous cable.</p><br>
<p>Like a ski lift, the railway was operated from a standing engine by an operator in control of a winch, clutch and brake. A helper spotted cars below a short local drop to an area upslope of the barney house, where the cable and pusher cart would drop into on one end (heading down) and rise out of on the other to engage the freight cars and push them upwards. The axle on the barneys telescoped so that at the barney house entrance the barneys wheels slide inside and dropped under the plane of the standard width railroad tracks so the barney could slide away and let gravity take the consist onto the marshaling yard. When using furnicular action, as it did sending returns down during its early years the rails split connecting two pairs of tracks bulging out in a vase-like shape in a passing area, so the railway could ship freight downhill east to west as well as the heavy operations west to east which predominated until its closing. In the earliest years of operation, there was no back track to return cars to the bottom for refilling, and they had to be returned on the Planes, thus slowing and complicating the lift operations. When stopping cars from rolling free, the barneys had to be positioned below the cars, and since the upsides are uphills from the barney house opening, that meant a latch (brake system) had to hold a string of empties above the barney before it emerged from hiding its little tunnel. It also means the barney was moving down hill and away from the latched cars which would then accelerate and bang into the small barneys with considerable force, part of which was transmitted via the cables to everything in the system. It was actually easier to lift cars waiting at a latch for a barney than it was to drop cars down safely onto a moving barney.In the 1860s, the LH&S completed tracks along the right bank of the Lehigh through the Lehigh Gorge to Mauch Chunk (now Jim Thorpe, PA) and its trackage to the Delaware Valley, especially the Delaware Canal to Philadelphia markets and rail connections at Easton via the industrial centers of Allentown and Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.</p><br>
<p>These inclined plane railbeds were used for the transportation of anthracite coal. The railroads were in use until 1948.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>The Croscat is a volcano in the comarca of Garrotxa, Catalonia, Spain. It is both the youngest and highest volcano in the Iberian Peninsula, with the last eruption dated back to about 14,000 years Before Present. The volcanic cone has a horseshoe shape and its northeastern flank was quarried for volcanic gravel until the early 1990s, exposing the internal structure of the cone from top to bottom. The volcano is located in the Garrotxa volcanic field, a Quaternary volcanic field also known as Olot volcanic field, as part of the protected area of the Garrotxa Volcanic Zone Natural Park.</p><br>
<h2>Geology</h2><br>
<p>The cone has a height of 189.04 m</p><br>
<p>A study published in 2011 at the Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research revealed that the Santa Margarida Volcano and the Croscat were the product of the same eruption event 11,500 years ago, alternating phreatomagmatic activity, between water and magma, and magmatic activity.</p><br>
<h2>Human history</h2><br>
<p>Starting from the 1960s the northeastern flank of the volcano was quarried for lapilli gravel. The extraction area was also used as an uncontrolled municipal landfill for the city of Olot. In 1982 the Garrotxa Volcanic Zone Natural Park was created to protect the area but the extraction lasted for another nine years. Further protests were sparked after an agreement was reached between the concessionaire of the quarry, Minas de Olot, SA, and the Generalitat of Catalonia for the further extraction of 2.7 million tons with educational and scientific purposes, with the commitment of restoration of all excavated areas. The successive non-fulfillment of the restoration program resulted in the issue of at least ten disciplinary proceedings in the subsequent years.</p><br>
<p>The extraction left a vent 100 m high and 400 m long covering around 40 degrees. In the 1990s a territorial landscaping project was undertaken to restore the extraction site and the landfill to recover the morphology of the base of the volcano and the pastures surrounding the area. The project, which won an award for landscape design, minimized the landscape impact, prevented erosion and planned public access for educational purposes.</p><br>

<p>The Paddock Viaduct, also known as the Main Street Viaduct, is a reinforced concrete bridge spanning the Trinity River in Fort Worth, Texas. Low-water crossings and ferries originally provided the only access across the Trinity River at this location, connecting the downtown area of Fort Worth with northern sections of the city. A two-lane suspension bridge, constructed near this site in the 1890s, proved inadequate for the growing population. This span, designed by the St. Louis firm of Brenneke and Fay, was built in 1914. It was the first reinforced concrete arch in the nation to use self-supporting, reinforcing steel. The bridge is named in honor of B.B. Paddock, former State Legislator and Mayor of the City. </p><br>
<p>It was built in 1913 and renovated in 1965 and 1988. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 15, 1976.</p><br>

<p>The Château de Meung-sur-Loire is a former castle and episcopal palace in the commune of Meung-sur-Loire in the Loiret département of France.</p><br>
<p>The château, located next to the collegial church, was the country residence of the Bishops of Orléans. It was built and destroyed several times. The oldest still existing parts date from the 12th century and were built by Manassès de Seignelay (bishop from 1207 to 1221). Still standing are the main rectangular plan building, flanked by three towers, a fourth having been destroyed. It was occupied by the English during the Hundred Years War. The rear façade was rebuilt in the Classical style by Fleuriau dArmenonville (bishop from 1706 to 1733). Beneath the castle are dungeons, a chapel and various medieval torture instruments, including one used for water torture.</p><br>
<p>It has been listed since 1988 as a monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The first castle was built in the middle of the 12th century. It consisted of a square tower built against the south face of the church bell tower, itself abutting in the south two round towers. In the 13th century, the bishops of Orléans abandoned the castle and it was used as a prison. Among those incarcerated there was the poet, François Villon. From 1209, construction began of a more important castle, rectangular in plan, with a tower in each corner. The guard room, the lower hall with ogive vaults and the cellars are the last elements which constituted the 13th-century castle, the episcopal palace at that time. During the Hundred Years War, the building was transformed into a fortress; it was taken from the English by Joan of Arc on 14 June 1429. At the end of the 15th century and start of the 16th century, building to the north incorporated a tower with a drawbridge. The castle was abandoned from the Wars of Religion until the start of the 18th century, when Bishop Fleuriau dArmenonville undertook the transformation of the structure into a comfortable residence. The central part of the main building was replaced by a cour dhonneur. The façades openings were made symmetrical and redesigned in the Classical style. Similarly, the tower openings were remade and lost their machicolation. In the middle of the 18th century, a wing was added to the south east with a staircase serving the upper floors of the wing. In 1784, the chapel was built in the Neoclassical style, with sculpture by Delaistre. The two pavilions in the grounds are contemporary with this chapel.</p><br>
<h2>Currently</h2><br>
<p>In 2016, the château hosted a fashion show shortly after Paris Fashion Week, celebrating historical fashion and displaying the evolution of fashion from antiquity to the First World War.</p><br>

<p>Mount Mendel is a peak in Fresno County, California. It is in Kings Canyon National Park in the Evolution Region, of the Sierra Nevada and adjacent to Mount Darwin which is on the Sierra crest.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Theodore S. Solomons and E. C. Bonner of the United States Geological Survey named a series of mountains for the six major exponents of the theory of evolution. Mount Mendel is named for, Gregor Mendel, an Augustinian friar, who is known as the "father of modern genetics". Other nearby mountains in the group include Mount Darwin, Mount Fiske, Mount Haeckel, Mount Huxley, Mount Spencer, Mount Wallace, and Mount Lamarck. The area around the peaks, known as the Evolution Region, includes Evolution Basin, Evolution Valley, Evolution Meadow and Evolution Creek.</p><br>
<h2>Climbing</h2><br>
<p>There are several class 3 and class 4 routes available, however, Mount Mendel is best known for having two of the hardest ice climbs in the High Sierra on its North Face. Two of the documented ice climbs are "Ice Nine" (IV, class 5+, AI4 or WI5) and "The Mendel Couloir", (III class 5.6, AI2 or WI3). See the article Grade (climbing).</p><br>
<p>The Wolkberg is a mountain range in Limpopo Province, South Africa. It constitutes a northern subrange of the Drakensberg system. The range extends for about 30 km in a NW/SE direction north of Sekhukhuneland. The nearest towns are Haenertsburg and Tzaneen.</p><br>
<h2>Physiography</h2><br>
<p>The range forms a high plateau reaching up to 2126 m in height at the Ysterkroon, its highest point. Other conspicuous peaks are 2050 m high Serala, 1838 m high Mamotswiri, 1667 m high Magopalone and 1611 m high Selemole.</p><br>
<p>The Wolkberg is the source of many small mountain streams, as well as the Mohlapitse and the Ga-Selati River, tributaries of the Olifants River.</p><br>
<h2>Ecology</h2><br>
<p>Weather can change very fast from clear skies to becoming misty, with the highest reaches enveloped in clouds. Hence the name of the range, meaning "Cloud Mountain" in Afrikaans. The Wolkberg is rugged, with rocky shoulders and deep humid gorges. There are rare plant and animal species in these areas. Species such as the Wolkberg Zulu (Alaena margaritacea), the Wolkberg aloe (Aloe dolomitica), Wolkberg cycad (Encephalartos dolomiticus), the Wolkberg widow (Dingana clara) and the Wolkberg sandman (Spialia secessus), have been named after these mountains. Some species like the critically endangered butterfly Lotana blue (Lepidochrysops lotana) are only known from the Wolkberg area.</p><br>
<p>The Wolkberg Wilderness Area is a protected area located in the range.</p><br>
<p>Frank H. Buhl Mansion, or Buhl Mansion, is a historic home located at Sharon, Mercer County, Pennsylvania.</p><br>
<p>It was built in 1891 for the Buhl family, which owned the Sharon Iron Works. Yale-educated Frank H. Buhl (1848-1918) had returned in 1887 from Detroit to help his father run the Iron Works, and in the following year, the Iron Works became Mercer Countys largest employer. Buhl founded the Buhl Steel Company in 1896, which three years later merged into the National Steel Co., which was itself eventually merged into the United States Steel Corporation shortly before Buhls retirement. Buhl became known as the "The Father of the Industrial Shenango Valley" and also founded Sharon Steel and Sharon Steel Castings (also merged into USA Steel).</p><br>
<p>Although Buhl had married Julia Forker, daughter of a prominent Sharon family, they had no children and became known for using their fortune to support the surrounding community. Buhls father had founded the Christian H. Buhl hospital (now the Sharon Regional Hospital). Frank Buhl established the F.H. Buhl club, opened to all Sharon citizens in 1903, and located between this building and the citys downtown. It held music and social rooms, bowling alleys, billiard and games rooms, and a library. It merged with a women&#39;s club founded by Julia Buhl, and still serves the community as a recreation center. In 1914, the F.H. Buhl Farm opened as a 300-acre park, complete with an 11-acre lake, beaches, 10 tennis courts, a nine-hole golf course, picnic groves, pavilions, playground and a baseball field.</p><br>
<p>The ashlar sandstone residence has 2 1/2-storeys. Noted Youngstown architect Charles Owsley (1846–1935) designed it in the Richardsonian Romanesque style. The mansion features round arches, steep gable wall dormers, an inset porch with heavy arches, stone finials, and several turrets with copper capped spires. Although the house had been converted to apartments, it was restored. It currently operates as a bed and breakfast as well as a wedding venue.</p><br>
<p>The mansion was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1977 and featured in the 1987 film Tiger Warsaw.</p><br>
