<p>The Old Market, Hove is a historic  building on the border of Brighton and Hove in England. It has served various functions, currently operating as a cultural performance centre under the name "TOMThe Old Market".</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Old Market opened in 1828 as a covered marketplace for sales of meat, fish and vegetables. It supplied the residential development of Brunswick, which was originally independent from Brighton and Hove village. As Brighton and Hove have grown up around it, the building has catered for changing needs, operating as a riding academy and stables, warehouse and, since the 1980s, as an arts venue. Established as Old Market Arts Centre (OMAC), the initial arts venture entered difficulties.</p><br>
<p>The building was renovated in 1998 by The Old Market Trust with a lottery grant of over four million pounds, as a home for The Hanover Band and a community arts venue for Brighton and Hove. Its current owners in 2010, Yes/No Productions made various changes in order to maximise potential use for gigs, theatre productions, events and performances after purchasing the building for £800,000. In 2011 the building was reopened under the new name TOMThe Old Market.</p><br>
<h2>Programming</h2><br>
<p>As TOMThe Old Market, a wide variety of performances and events have been programmed. Artists such as Django Django, Guillemots, James Rhodes and Jonathan Wilson have played. Comedians Daniel Kitson, Simon Munnery, Isy Suttie, Jonny Sweet have performed, along with many others as part of Brighton Comedy Festival. Theatre and events are also hosted. The building is a venue in both Brighton Fringe and Brighton Festival during May.</p><br>
<p>A monthly photography talk is held there, called MiniClick.</p><br>

<p>The Blouberg , meaning "Blue Mountain" in Afrikaans, is a range of mountains in Limpopo Province, at the far north of South Africa. It is located in Blouberg Local Municipality, Capricorn District. The mountain is entrenched in the history of the local Tswana people, and they have different names for its various parts.</p><br>
<p>The Blouberg forms part of the Vhembe Biosphere Reserve, named a biosphere reserve by UNESCO since 2009. This reserve also includes the neighboring Makgabeng Plateau, the Soutpansberg, the northern part of the Kruger National Park, the Makuleke Wetlands and the Mapungubwe Cultural Landscape. The eastern and part of the central Blouberg prominences are enclosed and protected by the Blouberg Nature Reserve. A 4x4 track traverses Rapanyan&#39;s Neck, the defile that separates these easterly subranges.</p><br>
<h2>Setting</h2><br>
<p>This rocky mountain range rises over a plateau averaging 900 m to the west of the western end of the Soutpansberg range. The Blouberg is topped by massive rocky outcrops resembling castles or fortifications with sheer walls. Its highest point reaches 2,040 m and is also the highest point of the entire Soutpansberg/Blouberg system.</p><br>
<p>The Brak River (also known as Hout River), a tributary of the Sand River, flows diagonally along the southeastern edge of the Blouberg, separating it from the Soutpansberg further east. Although both ranges are clearly delimited from the geographical point of view, geologically the Blouberg is homonymous with the Soutpansberg.</p><br>
<h2>Human population</h2><br>
<p>About 117 settlements in its foothills are home to some 161,000 inhabitants, belonging to the Bahananwa and Batlokwa communities, and to a lesser extent the VhaVhenda and Northern Sotho. Senwabarwana, the economic centre of these villages, is visited by many to do their shopping. During the 19th century they were incorporated in the South African Republic, and the homeland system was introduced during the Apartheid era of the 20th century. Basic infrastructure and developmental needs were neglected, and in the 21st century it remains one of Limpopos most underdeveloped regions. Many villages experience high unemployment, severe poverty or low levels of income despite the areas natural resources. Their isolation is mitigated by their sense of community and connectivity to each other.</p><br>
<h2>Ecology</h2><br>
<p>The vegetation of the Blouberg ranges from sub-tropical veld or savanna at the base, to a kind of Afro-montane vegetation related to the Cape Fynbos near the summits. The rocky cliffs are a haven for birds of prey such as the Cape vultures.</p><br>
<p>The Blouberg, like its larger neighbor further east, the Soutpansberg, is known for a high level of endemism of its invertebrate fauna, such as the Swanepoel&#39;s widow butterfly that is found on the southern slopes of the range. The Waterberg flat lizard and a subspecies of the common flat lizard are found in this range.</p><br>
<h2>Rock climbing</h2><br>
<p>The Blouberg is one of the most spectacular rock climbing areas in South Africa. As a rock climbing destination it is famous for its sheer 350 m "Moonshadow" wall. Most of the climbing spots are on private land but climbers can make arrangements through the Alldays Mountain Club in nearby Alldays, Limpopo.</p><br>
<p>The Uncanoonuc Mountains are two small mountain peaks in Goffstown, New Hampshire, United States. The north peak, the highest point in Goffstown, has an elevation of 1,324 ft above sea level, and the south peak rises to 1,321 ft.</p><br>
<p>The name may be derived from the Massachusett language term kuncannowet (Massachusett).</p><br>
<p>The area was developed in the early 1900s as a resort with a hotel and incline railway. The mountains are still a good spot for hiking, snowshoeing, and scenic views of the nearby skyline of Manchester and even, on a clear day, the faint skyline of Boston.</p><br>
<p>They were the site of a small ski operation in the 1930s and 1940s, served by the incline railway that went up the south peak. With three main trails from top to bottom, it was a popular ski destination until 1941, when the railway was damaged by a fire.</p><br>
<p>A new development was planned in the 1960s for the north peak, commencing in 1963. Chairlift and snow making equipment was ordered, several trails were cleared, but the project was halted by the town of Goffstown because of environmental concerns. In response to the failure, the city of Manchester opened its own area, McIntyre, in 1971.</p><br>
<p>The south peak contains transmitting facilities for many of the broadcast stations serving the Manchester area.</p><br>
<p>Martino  is a settlement in the regional unit of Phthiotis in Central Greece, and belongs to the municipality of Lokroi. Martino is located 120 km north from Athens, at an altitude of 210m. Neighbouring settlements are Malesina and Larymna.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>3rd century BC</h3><br>
<p>In the area of Martino, the 3rd century BC, developed a city with the name "Voumelitea". The city flourished until the Byzantine period.</p><br>
<h3>The establishment of Martino in 1383 AD</h3><br>
<p>Martino founded around 1383 AD, as a settlement to its present location, and owes its name to Martin Mouzaki, leader of a (arvanitika and Greek-speaking) faction from the North Ipiros.</p><br>
<h3>Ottoman rule</h3><br>
<p>In 1466 13 households were in the Martino. In 1506 they increased to 46 and in 1521 they reached 77. In 1688 the households of Martino increased to 100, whereas before the Greek Revolution, in 1810, reached 300, all belong to Christian families.</p><br>
<p>The traveler Argyris Philippides, visited Locrida in 1815, wrote about Martino: Martino has three hundred Christian houses. Here the common language is Arvanitika. They speak of course and our language (Greek).</p><br>
<h3>From the Greek revolution of 1821 until the Liberation</h3><br>
<p>During the Greek Revolution of 1821, seven combatants from Martino referd: Dimos Angelis, Dimos Vergos, John Kollias, Dimos Kouros, Loukas Martinoaios, Giannakis Mitzou and Panos Theodoris.</p><br>
<p>One of the major battles during the Greek revolution in the region of Locrida was that of Martino, held on January 29, 1829. Vasos Mavrovouniotis with 6th body of 1000 men decimated the Turkish army.</p><br>
<p>The most important result of the victorious battle of the Greeks was that they prevented the Turkish plans for reclaiming the mainland Greece, as well as the program was able to Kapodistrias to negotiate under different and more favorable terms the borders of the newly established, independent Greek state.</p><br>
<h3>Martino from the establishment of the modern Greek state until today</h3><br>
<p>In 1840 Martino became the seat of the municipality Larymna. The seat moved to Proskynas in 1857, to return to Martino in 1872. The municipality except Martino, enclosed the villages: Pavlos, Traganas, Malesina, Pyrgos, Loutsi, Larymna, Tsouka, Proskynas and Mazi.</p><br>
<p>In 1882 starts the "Greek School" or "Greek Scholarcheion" in Martino. In the 1894 Atalanti earthquakes that shooked Locrida, caused Martino significant damage. In a total of 1434, 39 people were killed and 23 others injured, while 300 houses collapsed.</p><br>
<p>Martino became an independent community in 1912, having separated from the former municipality of Larymna. The new community included Martino and the village Tsouka (renamed to Metalleio Tsoukas in 1920).</p><br>
<p>In 1929 the football club "Opountios Martinou" was established.</p><br>
<p>Another key feature here is the presence of several cultural groups. In 1976 founded the Cultural Association of Martino, "MO.SY.M" which seeks to support every kind of act of cultural interest.</p><br>
<p>At the 1997 Kapodistrias reform, Martino became the seat of the new municipality of Opountia. With the new administrative reform of the Greek state (Kallikratis plan), Martino joined the enlarged municipality of Locroi.</p><br>
<h3>Population</h3><br>
<h2>Attractions - Tourism - Cultural events</h2><br>
<p>The old part of the village declared a protected monument.</p><br>
<p>There is also the Byzantine church of Agios Georgios with Byzantine frescoes and icons.</p><br>
<p>Other attractions of the village are the entrance of the temple of Pan and the ancient fountains "Tsorokos" and "Monachou".</p><br>

<p>Saratoga Lake is a freshwater lake in the eastern part of Saratoga County, New York. The lake is approximately 4.5 mi long, about 1.5 mi wide at its widest point, and about 95 ft deep.</p><br>
<p>The Lake is surrounded by the City of Saratoga Springs on the north west, the Town of Malta on the south west, the Town of Stillwater on the south east, and the Town of Saratoga on the north east. New York State Route 9P is a highway that runs along the southern end and eastern side of the lake, and then crosses its outlet in the north.</p><br>
<p>The lake&#39;s major source is the Kayaderosseras Creek which enters the lake from the north west, and the outlet is Fish Creek, which exits the lake from the north and flows into the Hudson River at Schuylerville, New York.</p><br>
<h2>Fishing</h2><br>
<p>Fish species present in the lake are walleye, smallmouth bass, black crappie, yellow perch, redbreast sunfish, bluegill, northern pike, tiger muskie, largemouth bass, carp, pumpkinseed sunfish, and brown bullhead. There is a state owned hard surface ramp boat launch off Union Avenue on the north shore.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The name Saratoga is said to derive from the native Se-rach-ta-gue, meaning hillside country of the great river; however several completely different interpretations have been proposed.</p><br>
<p>Archeological evidence shows Native American occupation dating back to 7000BC.</p><br>
<p>The first European to visit the lake may have been the Jesuit Isaac Jogues in 1642. The Saint Isaac Jogues Chapel, on the Lake in Stillwater, commemorates his mission.</p><br>
<h3>Rowing</h3><br>
<p>The sport of rowing has a long history on Saratoga Lake, especially along Fish Creek. "In July 1874, the Rowing Association of American Colleges hosted the University Race for the Championship at Saratoga." Columbia won what was reported as "the most exciting race ever witnessed." Other participants were Wesleyan, Harvard, Williams, Cornell, Dartmouth, Princeton, Trinity, and Yale. Competitions were held annually thereafter for several years.</p><br>
<p>This tradition was revived in 1986 with the first Head of the Fish Regatta which, by 2010, had grown to be "the second largest regatta in the country, by volume of boats entered."</p><br>
<h2>Places on Saratoga Lake</h2><br>

<p>The Wilshire Ward Chapel, formerly known as the Hollywood Stake Tabernacle, is a meetinghouse of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Los Angeles, California. The building is listed as a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument and on the Mormon Historic Sites Foundation registry.</p><br>
<h2>Construction</h2><br>
<p>The Hollywood Stake Tabernacle was commissioned in the late 1927 after the division of the Los Angeles Stake and designed by architects Hyrum Pope and Harold W. Burton in an Art Deco and Modern style. The cornerstone was laid in 1928 by then Stake President George W. McCune and the building was completed in 1929 at a cost of $250,000. The funds for the building were raised by church members in the area and matched one-to-one with church headquarters. Many local church members provided volunteered labor on the building. The building seats approximately 2,100. Heber J. Grant, the President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at the time, dedicated the building and stated that it was "one of the very finest buildings that we have ever erected in any of the stakes of Zion...". Due to its construction and design, the tabernacle was considered the “finest cement building in America” by Architectural Concrete in 1933. The building was recommended for discontinuation of use in 1970, however local leaders fought to preserve the building. It went through major renovations that were completed in 2003 and the building was then rededicated by another church president Gordon B. Hinckley. The building remains in use as a meetinghouse by three Wards (Wilshire, Los Angeles Third (Spanish-speaking), Olympic (Korean-speaking)), but no longer functions as a LDS tabernacle.</p><br>
<p>Rushton Hall in Rushton, Northamptonshire, England, was the ancestral home of the Tresham family from 1438, when William Tresham bought the estate. In the 20th century the house became a private school and it has now been converted to a luxury hotel. The estate is about 227 acre of which 30 acre are formal gardens. The River Ise flows from west to east south of the Hall.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Rushton Hall had been the possession of the Catholic Tresham family since the fifteenth century, when William Tresham bought the estate in 1438. He was Attorney General to King Henry V and Speaker of the House of Commons and was murdered in 1450. Sir Thomas Tresham (1500–59) was MP for Northamptonshire and three times High Sheriff of Northamptonshire. The latter&#39;s grandson Thomas (1534-1605), also a High Sheriff in 1573, built the Triangular Lodge in the grounds of the hall in 1592. His son, Francis Tresham, was involved in the Gunpowder Plot and died in the Tower of London in 1605. The estate then passed to his brother Lewis.</p><br>
<p>The Hall was sold in 1619 to Sir William Cockayne, Lord Mayor of London who was the first Governor of Londonderry, Ireland. and on his death in 1626 passed to his eldest son Charles, later Viscount Cullen, who was appointed High Sheriff of Northamptonshire for 1636–37. The 2nd Viscount, Bryen, married Elizabeth Trentham, heiress to the Trentham estates including both Rocester Abbey and Castle Hedingham. Those estates would later be sold to fund the couple&#39;s extravagant lifestyle.</p><br>
<p>In 1828 the Hall was sold to William Williams Hope, the family of Thomas Hope (1769–1831), a Dutch banker. After his death in 1854 the estate was sold to Clara Thornhill (later Clarke-Thornhill). Charles Dickens was a great friend of Clara and visited Rushton several times. The fictitious Haversham Hall in Great Expectations was conceived from the Hall. The Clarke-Thornhills owned the hall until 1934. After the death of William Clarke-Thornhill, the Hall was let to an array of tenants including American socialite James J. Van Alen who reinstated much Tudor and Jacobean architectural detail.</p><br>
<p>It became a Grade I listed building in 1951.</p><br>
<p>In 1957 it became a school for blind children run by the RNIB; the school moved to Coventry in 2002.</p><br>
<p>The Hazelton family bought the hall in August 2003, and restored it to open as a 4 star hotel and spa.</p><br>
<h2>Estate</h2><br>
<p>The estate has early 20th century formal terraced gardens designed by Thomas Mawson between 1905-1909. The rest of the estate has separate ownership to the hotel with features dating back to the 16th century and before. The 16th-century Triangular Lodge in the former parkland is owned by English Heritage and is open to the public.</p><br>
<p>Quiet Valley Farm is a historic working farm that is operated as an open-air museum. Open seasonally, costumed interpreters operate the farm and explain family life from the 1760s to 1913.</p><br>
<p>The farm is a national historic district located at Hamilton Township, Monroe County, Pennsylvania. It includes nine contributing buildings located on a homestead purchased by Johan Peter Zepper (Topper) in 1765. It remained in the Zepper family until 1958, and is now operated as a 19th-century living history farm known as the Quiet Valley Living Historical Farm. Contributing buildings are the main house (c. 1765), springhouse (c. 1765), bank barn (1850), frame wash house, fruit drying house, smoke house, ice house, storage shed, and wagon shed.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.</p><br>
<p>The Julia Morgan Theater, located in the former St. Johns Presbyterian Church, is a historic building in Berkeley, California designed by architect Julia Morgan. The wooden building at 2640 College Avenue is built in the American Craftsman style with an exterior wood-shingle finish known as Berkeley Brown Shingle. The church building was desanctified and sold when the congregation moved to a new building in 1974. It now houses the Berkeley Playhouse. The structure is #8 on the city of Berkeleys list of historic landmarks. In 1975 it was added to the National Register of Historic Places .</p><br>
<h2>Church</h2><br>
<p>The church was organized in 1907 to serve the influx of people moving from San Francisco to Berkeley after the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, and the church building was completed in 1910. The church was named to honor St. Johns Presbyterian Church in San Francisco, which many of the new congregants had attended and whose pastor, Dr. George Granville Eldridge, became the founding pastor of St. Johns in Berkeley. Subsequent pastors included Dr. Stanley Armstrong Hunter (1924-1954), Dr. James Comfort Smith (1954-1970), Dr. Robert A. McKenzie (1970-1983), Dr. Thomas McKnight (1984-2001), and Max Lynn (2002-present).</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Julia Morgan and her assistant Walter Steilberg chose a design with broad gables and a stained shingle exterior. The redwood paneled interior leaves the wooden beams and trusses completely exposed, while smoked glass clerstory windows provide most of the light. "This structural exhibitionism forms a worship space of great visual interest. … The small scale of the church and the warm color of the wood help create a cozy and restful space while the plain lumber serves to remind one of God&#39;s creation—the unadorned beauty of natural materials." Morgan herself considered it to be her best Craftsman building.</p><br>
<h2>Arts center and theater</h2><br>
<p>In 1974-75 the congregation moved to a new modern sanctuary at 2727 College Avenue, and the fate of the Julia Morgan building was uncertain. The desire to preserve it from demolition was the major catalyst leading to the formation of the Berkeley Architectural Heritage Association in 1974. The building seemed suitable for use as an arts center, and after a brief incarnation as the Center for World Music, the Julia Morgan Center for the Arts took over the building in 1980. It housed the Berkeley Opera, the Berkeley Ballet Theater, and various theatrical productions as well as arts classes. In 2009 the Julia Morgan Center merged with the Berkeley Playhouse, a theater company founded in 2007 by artistic director Elizabeth McKoy. The Playhouse produces several plays and musicals per year, as well as offering theatrical instruction for a variety of ages and skill levels. The building is known as the Julia Morgan Theatre.</p><br>
<p>Kitson Woolen Mill, also known as the Holland Thread Company building, is a historic woolen mill complex located at Stroudsburg, Monroe County, Pennsylvania. The complex consists of four brick buildings built between 1893 and 1904. They are arranged in a "U"-shape and consist of the "East Wing," "West Wing," boiler house, and office. The Kitson Woolen Mill was in operation until 1928, after which the mill was occupied by the Holland Thread Company until 1978.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Jacob Strouds grist mill was located on or near the site by McMichaels Creek in the late 18th century. In 1865 "Stroudsburg Mills" was established on the site with a new building to weave wool. It closed in 1873. It is not clear whether any of the earlier buildings were incorporated into the current buildings.</p><br>
<p>Thomas Kitson (1840-1900) worked in woolen mills from an early age in his native England, and immigrated to the United States at age 19, where he worked at a Catskills mill in New York. In partnership with William Wallace he re-established the mill in 1873 on lower Main Street in Stroudsburg. Within ten years Kitson became the sole owner and the mill increased from 13 employees to 115 employees with an annual profit of $400,000. By 1886 the mill produced 14,000 yards of 54 inch wide wool cloth per month that was sold in New York City.</p><br>
<p>The mill was originally run by water power and the mill race is located under the mill. Partial steam power was added in 1888 and full steam power in 1893. New construction nearly doubled the size of the mill in 1898.</p><br>
<p>Kitson and the mill are known for setting an unusual world record on May 18, 1898, the shortest time to make a suit of clothes starting from un-sheared sheep. The previous world record was an even 8 hours, set by a Scottish mill. At 6:30 a.m. 6 sheep were brought in to be sheared by six employees. A total of 18 workers sorted, cleaned, dyed, dried, and carded the wool, then spun it into yarn. Cloth, in a black and white checkered pattern, was then woven from the yarn.</p><br>
<p>The next step in the process was to have the cloth made into a suit. Jacob Marks, a Stroudsburg tailor, sewed the suit in 2½ hours with the help of five assistants. The suit was delivered to Kitson&#39;s house in a total of 6 hours and 4 minutes. He then wore the suit to a party at the Washington Hotel, with the participating workers and prominent local businessmen joining in. Lamb was served for dinner.</p><br>
<p>After Kitson died in 1900, his son, Thomas J. Kitson, took over the business until 1920 when he died. The mill was sold at a Sheriff&#39;s sale in January 1930 and stood vacant for a few years. In 1933 the Holland Thread Company acquired the building and operated in it until 1978.</p><br>
<p>The Argoed, Penallt, Monmouthshire, Wales, is a Victorian country house dating from the 1860s, with earlier origins from the late 16th and early 17th centuries. It is a Grade II* listed building, and sits on a hill above Monmouth overlooking the Wye Valley. The English meaning of the Welsh word argoed is by a wood.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In the 17th century the house was the home of the Proberts, local landowners and High Sheriffs of Monmouthshire. Richard Potter, Chairman of the Great Western Railway and father of Beatrice Webb, bought the house in 1865 and undertook extensive rebuilding. Beatrice Webb was a founder member of the Fabian Society and, in the later 19th and early 20th centuries, she entertained many prominent friends at the Argoed, including George Bernard Shaw. Shaw is rumoured to have written his plays The Man of Destiny and Mrs. Warren&#39;s Profession whilst staying at the house. In the 1980s, the Argoed was owned by Robert Plant, of the rock band Led Zeppelin.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The architectural historian John Newman describes the Argoed as "a large, two-storeyed stone house (and) a tantalizing one." The central block is original and irregular, its "windows all 18th century sashes." Potter&#39;s re-building included a larger block to the south and a service wing to the north. The interior has been greatly reconstructed. The grounds are largely from the 19th and 20th centuries, though they include "17th century terraces of potential archaeological interest." The triangular plot has gardens which include wide gravel drives, formal lawns, terraces and ha-has which look out over the Wye valley.</p><br>
<p>Ross Common Manor is a national historic district located in Ross Township, Monroe County, Pennsylvania. It encompasses four contributing buildings and one contributing site on the historic estate of Ross Common Manor. The manor house was built about 1810, and is a -story, five-bay-wide stone dwelling with a gable roof. The 1809 stone kitchen building was attached to the main house about 1890. It was built by Congressman John Ross . Also on the property are a stone ice house , a -story frame grist mill, a former barn  converted to a theater in the 1930s, and the Ross family cemetery with burials dating from 1814 to the 1850s. During the mid-19th century, the manor house was used as an inn and tavern.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<p>Pocono Manor Historic District is a national historic district located in Pocono Township and Tobyhanna Township, Monroe County, Pennsylvania. It encompasses 75 contributing buildings, 1 contributing site, 4 contributing structures, and 4 contributing objects on the historic resort of Pocono Manor. The resort community was established in 1902, and includes an Inn, recreational complex, and dependent cottage community. The cottage community was originally developed by Quakers and the cottages reflect popular early-20th-century architectural styles including Stick/eastlake, Shingle Style, and Bungalow / American Craftsman. The Pocono Manor Inn was built in nine sections between 1902 and 1949. The seven earliest sections, built between 1902 and 1926, were designed by noted Philadelphia architect Walter Smedley.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.</p><br>
<p>Cairnwood is a 26,000 ft&sup2; historic home located adjacent to the Glencairn Museum in Bryn Athyn, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. It was designed by the noted architectural firm of Carrère and Hastings and built in 1895. The surrounding grounds were designed by Olmsted, Olmsted and Eliot. It was built for John Pitcairn, Jr. , President of Pittsburgh Plate Glass Company. It is a 2½-story, Roman brick and limestone French country estate home in the Beaux Arts style. The L-plan house has 28 rooms, plus a chapel in the third story turret. Also on the property are a contributing stable and garden house built contemporary to the main house, and garage complex . A contributing structure is the estate wall. The property is now owned by the Bryn Athyn College and serves as a special events facility, specifically hosting weddings, corporate functions, fundraising and social events of all kinds.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2002. It is a contributing property to the Bryn Athyn Historic District.</p><br>
<p>Fetters Mill Village Historic District is a national historic district located in Bryn Athyn and Lower Moreland Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. It encompasses five contributing buildings and three contributing structures. They are a wagon shed / John Conner studio , Alnwick Grove Train Station , Bryn Athyn Train Station / Post Office , farmhouse , stone barn, two iron bridges , and a milk platform . Located in the district is the separately listed Fetters Mill, built about 1740.</p><br>
<p>The area inspired parishioners of The New Church in Philadelphia to migrate to the countryside in order establish and practice as a religious community. They became coming to the area for church excursions or picnics to Alnwick Grove, a park served by the Alnwick Grove Station (Now a private residence, on the Lower Moreland side of the train tracks). After visiting the area, wealthy church member, John Pitcairn, Jr bought the first plots of land, then known as Knights Farm. This area is now the site of Bryn Athyn Cathedral, Cairnwood, Cairncrest, and Glencairn (the latter three all Pitcairn family estates).</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.</p><br>
<p>Continental Stove Works, also known as the Buckwalter Stove Company, is a historic factory complex and national historic district located at Royersford, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. It consists of 16 contributing buildings and one structure. The complex was built in two sections: between 1876 and 1924 and 1898 and 1908, some of which are interconnected. They are generally built of brick with stone foundations. One of the oldest buildings was built in 1876-1877, and is a 5 1/2-story, brick warehouse measuring 50 feet wide and 96 feet long. Another was also built in 1876-1877, and is a two-story brick building measuring 39 feet by 50 feet. The office building was also originally built in 1876-1877, and subsequently expanded to its present three-story size by 1923. The complex housed a number of regionally important producers of stoves during the late-19th and early-20th century. After the regional stove manufacturing industry collapsed during the Great Depression, the complex was occupied by a number of warehouses.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<p>The Redoubt St. Archangel Michael Site, also known as the Old Sitka Site and now in Old Sitka State Historical Park, is a National Historic Landmark near Sitka, Alaska. Now of archaeological interest, the site, about 7 mi north of Sitka at the end of Halibut Point Road, was the site of the early Russian-American Company settlement known as Redoubt St. Archangel Michael . It was the first non-Native settlement on Baranof Island. It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1962, and was made a state park in 1966.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1779, Alexander Baranov, a leader of the Russian-American Company, arrived near the site of modern Sitka, and negotiated with the local Tlingit people for a site on which the company could establish an outpost. Although he would have preferred what is now called Castle Hill in Sitka, he was granted this site on Starrigavan Bay. It was not until 1799 that the company established a presence, building a number of log buildings, surrounded by a palisade. In 1802 the Tlingit attacked and destroyed the premises. The Russians returned to the area in force in 1804, and established a permanent presence at Castle Hill after the Battle of Sitka.</p><br>
<p>The site was excavated in 1934-35, at which time archaeologists recovered numerous artifacts and identified the locations of the Russian buildings. In the years that followed the site was partially compromised by erosion and construction activity. The state built a wayside stop at the site in 1966, and now operates it has a state park. It was designated a National Historic Landmark (as "Redoubt St. Archangel Michael Site") in 1962, and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1966 (as "Old Sitka Site").</p><br>
<p>The Colonial Theatre in Bethlehem, New Hampshire, is a historic movie theater built in 1915 and one of the oldest continuously operating movie theaters in the United States. When the Colonial opened its doors, the era of the grand hotels was in full swing and Bethlehem was a premier destination resort town. Because of its sophisticated clientele the Colonial quickly became a venue for movie studios to test market their films. It was designed in the Egyptian Revival style by Francis J. Kennard of Tampa, Florida.</p><br>
<p>The Colonial Theatre is located at 2050 Main Street and was built by Karl Abbott, scion of Bethlehem hotelier Frank Abbott. In the summer of 1914, as documented in K. Abbotts 1950 memoir Open for the Season, Abbott, with his then-partner "Doc" Clark, converted the family stables to a garage for automobiles, then looked further: "The vacant lot across the street at which I happened to be looking suddenly took on a vision — before my eyes rose a modern movie house with electrically lighted marquee." By spring of the following year construction was complete and the Colonial Theatre opened for business on July 1, 1915, with a showing of Cecil B. DeMilles The Girl of the Golden West. The theatre included an electrically-lighted marquee.</p><br>
<p>Building on his father&#39;s purchase of the Uplands Hotel in Bethlehem in 1886, Frank H. Abbott and Son became one of the pre-eminent owners and operators of grand hotels in the White Mountains, with holdings in Florida, North Carolina, New York state, and Boston as well. Locally, in addition to the Uplands, they owned the Forest Hills in Franconia, and one of the most successful resorts of its era, the Profile House in Franconia Notch.</p><br>
<p>In 1922, overwhelmed with the operation of the Profile House, Karl sold the Colonial, still legally owned by Abbott and Clark, to Jack Eames, a local resident who was president of the Interstate Amusement Company. The transaction was negotiated on an impulse when they happened to meet on the night train to Boston. The theater remained with the Eames until it was purchased by the nonprofit The Friends of the Colonial in 2001.</p><br>
<p>Currently the Colonial presents national touring artists, independent and world cinema, children&#39;s events, and community events from May 1 through October 30.</p><br>
<p>The Skunk River Bridge is a Warren truss bridge that crosses Skunk River near Ames, Iowa in Story County, Iowa. It was built in 1876, and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>In 1876, Story County Supervisors contracted with King Iron Bridge Company to build three iron truss bridges, the longest of which would cross the Skunk River, just east of Cambridge, Iowa. The Cambridge bridge had an 80 ft truss, and its 3 spans had a combined length of 163 ft. This bridge was used frequently, and underwent occasional repairs. By 1916, it was no longer sufficient to handle the traffic on its road. It was subsequently replaced and moved to its present location, southeast of Ames, Iowa. The bridge was used lightly until 1990, when the road it was on was abandoned. It is still standing, but has fallen into a state of disrepair.</p><br>
<p>This bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1998. It was one of only a few Warren truss iron bridges built in Iowa in the late 19th century, and was an important transportation resource during a time of great growth in Story County.</p><br>
<p>Climont, formerly called "Clivemont" in Old French, and "Winberg" in Old Alsatian, is a conical sandstone peak of the Vosges mountains. The mountain, with a cut-off shape, is known from afar by walkers and modern-day travellers.</p><br>
<p>Situated today in Alsace to the south-west of the Champ du Feu, Clivemont&#39;s 965 metre peak is recognizable from a distance by its trapezoidal shape. The solitary tomb-shaped hill has long been a landmark to the south of the straight voie des saulniers (a salt trading route), at the start of the massif running from Ormont.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Climont offers an exceptional panorama of the various surrounding valleys. The waterways which originate there include the Fave river in the south-west which flows into the Meurthe above Saint-Dié, the Bruche river and several streams such as the winding Climontaise, which flow into Bourg-Bruche and Schirmeck to the north and finally the Giessen river to the south-east which flows towards Urbeis. The 360° view reveals Donon and the Val de Bruche to the north, the Val de Villé to the east, the middle Vosges to the south, and the Saint-Dié basin to the west.</p><br>
<p>The mountains, which beyond 650 or 700 metres up belong to the territory of the Urbeis commune, are highly prized by hill-walkers. The GR532 walking route passes by the south, and two routes marked by the Vosges Club (Club Vosgien) lead to the summit where a tower stands in memory of Julius Euting, commonly referred to as the "Tour Jules".</p><br>
<p>Climont has given pleasure to travellers from Lorraine on the Saulniers way, announcing the proximity of the Ungersberg massif and its hills overlooking the Alsatian plain. It is also a useful landmark for mountain-dwellers; its wide-ranging views of over the Saint-Dié basin allow humidity testing of air layers, and wind forecasting in case of unusual wind patterns such as the coldest winter breezes or east winds coming down from the mountains. The cone of Climont is easily identifiable from the Roche Saint-Martin and from the heights of Hadremont north or east of the Kemberg massif, byt also at different height to the south of the Fave valley. Today drivers who take the fast route passing around Saint-Dié or entering the Fave valley in the direction of the Lusse tunnel or the Saales col can contemplate the splendid isolation and magnificent evening lighting of Climont&#39;s slopes.</p><br>
<h2>Toponymy and legends</h2><br>
<p>The dialect name, whether of German or Roman origin, means a cut-off shape, referring to the abbrupt slopes which fall from Climont&#39;s ledged summit. "Winberg" probably comes from a corruption of "Winkberg" or "Winkleberg", just as "Climont" comes from the Latin "clivus mons". The oldest written name for Climont is "cilkenberg", dating from 1195.</p><br>
<p>Legend associates Climont with celibate, lonely or isolated people, or groups at odds with the norm. Monks and sects, notably Anabaptists, lived on the mountain&#39;s slopes. Magical beings living on Climont, spirits of grass, shrubs ad trees said to be the sole examples of their kind, are described as much by their shapes and movements as by their appearances to observers. Paradoxically, a large number of these singular creatures presided over meetings and particularly amorous liaisons. The plants gathered by Saint Jain would have powers of love potions for Tristan and Isolde.</p><br>
<h2>Geology</h2><br>
<p>Climont is a mound bearing witness to sandstone of the Triassic, a vestige resulting from effective erosion pushed onto the pedestale of Permian sandstone. This latter formation basically corresponds to the post-Hercynian peneplain characteristic of the Primary era. In the Saales col, whose flat horizons appear as a peneplain to the eye, there is similarity between the mounds of Climont, Voyemont, Houssot or the hills which continue from Ormont, all to a greater or lesser extent released by erosion. Note that the final and most recent erosion has arisen from the enclosing faults, which emerged transverse to the Alsatian rift and stretch out towards the Saint-Dié area. They have also induced the collapse of Ormont and are active today, creating the sharp relief of the sandstone massif.</p><br>
<p>The countryside of Climont, shaped at the level of deep layers, is effectively an isthmus between the Permian basin of Saint-Dié and lLe Villé.</p><br>
<p>The sandstone mass of Climont is neither strongly nor deeply fissured, which has made it resistant to erosion.</p><br>
<p>The waters on a conical prominence to the west descend via a waterfall towards Le Hang, forming the source of the Bruche. Beneath Le Hang, a dam has allowed a pond to form. Filled by the copious waters in the spring season, it was partially emptied by a floating of lost logs towards Schirmeck et Strasbourg before 1890.</p><br>
<p>To the west of the hamlet of Climont, going towards Colroy-la-Grande, are the oldest rocks in the Vosges, in the shape of a blade of stones observable at the surface over about 100 meters. These "formations of scales" belong to an old Precambrian pedestal; they are characterized by the shales of Le Villé dating to over 600 million years in the past. These formations, submitted to intense pressures, friction and crushing by the action of faults, contain gneiss with amphibole and garnet, known as Climont gneiss, but also syenitic granite. These crushed rocks or myelonites witness to an ancient metamorphism which occurred well before the shale deposits of Le Villé.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>A former stubble for cow grazing, once wider and now uncultivated, occupied the landmark summit of the Saulniers path.</p><br>
<p>Herds of goats appreciated the tough pasture of the slopes, partially exposed and covered with small young oaks, deciduous trees for the most part exlipsing the little surviving softwood, pines on the soil of gullies and firs in the shady basins. At the edges of the mound, particularly under the Easter basin near the houses of the Climont hamlet, meadows, pasture and fields show the agricultural vitality of the mountain communities during cold periods. The hamlet is a separate area to the east of the limits of Urbeis, parish and commune centre. It is traversed by the road linking the Urbeis col with the La Salcée col.</p><br>
<p>The terram de cilkenbergh cultam and incultam (land of Climont in its cultivated and uncultivated parts) appears in the list of property of the Baumgarten Abbey in 1195. Beyond the property received from the Duke of Lorraine at Fouchy in 1172, The Cistercian Baumgarten Abbey in Lorraine kept a temporary lordship over the ban de Provenchères, exctended to the border of Saâles, recorded as the grangiam de Hanso (the Hang Grange, which became simply "Le Hang") and the grangiam de Fossa (The Fosse Grange, which became "La Grande-Fosse"), two other pieces of land in the same list. Oral tradition associates these pieces of land with persistent mining activity. Proper limits of Climont were not known outside the 17th century.</p><br>
<p>A Mennonite community from 1683, reinforced by anabaptist and then reformed protestants families found a late refuge on the mountain slopes. They lived in relative harmony with the modest Catholic families who had occupied Climont for centuries. According to land, habitat family and community details, an arbitrary initial distinction can be shown between two slopes of Climont, one belonging to Urbeis, and the other to Bourg-Bruche and Saâles. Under the Ancien Régime, this distinction retained an occasional relevance, although both areas were part of the manor of Le Villé.</p><br>
<h3>Hamlet, farms, and Anabaptist censes of Climont</h3><br>
<p>The hamlet of Climont, at an altitude of 670 metres around a small temple, is part of the Urbeis commune. Its Alsacian name of "Winberg" has been altered to "Weinberg". The use of German by a sizable Mennonite community from 1690 onwards, then a simultaneous mix of Anabaptists and Reformed after intermarriages during the 19th century, has progressively Germanized the old placenames, for instance:</p><br>
<p>The altitude may seem modest but the permanent cultivation of the fields at the start of the 20th century after the coldest observed temperature in 1850 rarely extends past 600 metres within the Vosges massif. Some gardens and farmed fields in Climont are even higher than the 650 metres in altitude achieved by the Bellefosse cultivations. Other cultivated areas extend from 470 m (on the plain), 500 m (at Bourg-Bruche), 550 m (Natzviller and the clearing at Le Hand on the sun-facing slope belonging to Saales.</p><br>
<p>In 1760, a manorial map probably raised by the Christiani shows five buildings which are taken to be large farms. Although it has not been possible to count these "censes", they are described a century later, perhaps by the Rebers, as a house built of stone, covered with shingles, containing a kitchen, two bedrooms, a storeroom, shed and barn. Upstairs are two bedrooms, and two rooms characterized by an attic with several compartments, some full of grain and some stuffed with fodder. Three neighbouring buildings contain</p><br>
<p>the barn, the stable, the pigpen mounted on the haylofts near the fountain.</p><br>
<p>the oven and the forge.</p><br>
<p>workers&#39; quarters.</p><br>
<p>A large farm in Climont might contain six family dwellings. The men were both farmers of oats and grain, and breeders, tending their cattle and managing their hayfields to provide fodder. The workable land represented 105 acres, meadows 96 poles and gardens and orchards 316 feet.</p><br>
<p>In 1780, an inventory of the bailiwick of the county of Villé mentioned 90 Mennonites, composed of 1 widow, 17 couples, 29 boys and 26 girls. This may have represented the Anabaptists of the ban of Urbeis, of whom the majority lived on the lands of Climont.</p><br>
<p>En 1796, six farms were sold as national property. This included the white house which belonged to François Joseph Choiseul.</p><br>
<p>In 1850, 12 dwellings were recorded as well as a house in the forest. The inhabitants had a modest way of life, as suggested by the timid Climont Mennonites who in no way imposed themselves in meetings of the Le Hang council. Jean Dellenbach, a Climont labourer belonging to one of the leading Anabaptist families, left the inventory of his goods with the Boersch notary on 16 February 1848. The total amounted to 223 Francs, of which the following is a part:</p><br>
<p>A sometimes distant rural exodus had begun on Climont, but those who lived there were persevering and developing non-farming-related pursuits: stonecutting, distilling, and weaving after the arrival of weavers who had relocated their small clothesmaking businesses for economic reasons from the textile towns. During the Second Empire, Joseph Elias, a Jewish trader from Scherviller, sold 11 ares of Climont land to Adam Brua, a weaver. He noted that the land parcel sold was beside Jacques Schlabach, who had left for America, disembarking at New York City or New Orleans.</p><br>
<p>The number of Mennonites and Reformed on Climont in 1889 was 53. After over a century, three large, prominent and related families controlled the Climont community, Dellenbach (Dellembach), Bacher (Boecher, Becher, Pacher, Pêcheur) and Beller. Without attaching religious claims, they quickly tolerated mixed marriages between Anabaptists and Protestants at the level of elite farmers and proprietors. In 1790, Elisabeth, a 25-year-old Dellenbach girl, married a Protestant from Plaine, provoking the first break in the Anabaptist community&#39;s management of the former manorial lands of Villé.</p><br>
<p>By 1970 there were no Mennonites in the hamlet. A private cemetery with three tombstones hosts the remains of, among others, the last member of the Bacher family who died forty years prior.</p><br>
<h3>Le Hang valley to the west</h3><br>
<p>The valley of Le Hang, containing the source of the Bruche, today forms a vast clearing, mostly within the Bourg-Bruche commune with a part of its western edge in Saales. In 1710, this dry valley was covered with scrub oak in sparse thickets. A crystal glass factory employed a large number of workers and loggers on a seasonal basis. Mennonites from Switzerland employed in this difficult work gradually settled in the valley situated beneath Le Hang. In 1780, 70 anabaptists were hired to work in the clearing of Le Hang for the glass manufacturers.</p><br>
<h2>The tour Julius</h2><br>
<p>Climont&#39;s panoramic tower, the "Tour Julius", was built in 1897 by the Strasbourg section of the Club vosgien. Mr. Gérardin, owner of the Climont peak, donated the land required for it to be built.</p><br>
<p>The tower is built in a square neo-medieval style, corbelled at the top and with a southern oriel. It is 17 metres high, and was inaugurated in October 1897 by the German authorities. It has 78 steps and a commemorative plaque in honour of Julius Euting, a famous orientalist and president-founder of the Club vosgien. The tower cost 4,000 German marks to construct.</p><br>
<p>Beneath the entry portal, under the portrait of Euting, is posted a quatrain in German with a French translation.</p><br>
<p>("I am called the Julius tower - I brave storms in all seasons - I watch over the Vosges from my heights, and I entrust our fate to the Lord").</p><br>
<p>The tower was renovated in 1986.</p><br>
<h2>Music and folklore</h2><br>
<p>It appears that Climont is known in legend for solitary people and for meetings. Without doubt there existed a plethora of songs, whistles and fiddle-pieces dedicated to the beings of Climont. Current folklore realizes this tradition to a greater or lesser extent, or reinvents it wholesale with German tourists in mind. Gérard Durand, in his album La Climontaise published Kobra, based at the Neuve Eglise, attempted to do this, synthesising polka, waltzes and marches. To stay in a more austere or protestant aesthetic, J. S. Bach&#39;s six suites for solo cello are good to listen to there.</p><br>
<p>Corno Bianco  is a mountain of the Pennine Alps. It&#39;s a popular climbing destination of Valsesia.</p><br>
<h2>Etymology</h2><br>
<p>The literal English translation of Corno Bianco is White Horn.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The mountain is located around 500 m east from the Dora Baltea/Sesia water divide and is totally included in Valsesia (VC, Italy). Administratively it belongs to the comunes of Alagna Valsesia and Riva Valdobbia.</p><br>
<h3>SOIUSA classification</h3><br>
<p>According to the SOIUSA (International Standardized Mountain Subdivision of the Alps) the mountain can be classified in the following way:</p><br>

<p>The Trujillo Homestead is a historic ranch site in Mosca, Alamosa County, Colorado, not far from the Great Sand Dunes National Park. The area was first settled in the 1860s by Teofilo Trujillo, a Mexican sheep farmer. His son Pedro built a log cabin house beginning in 1879, along with other ranch outbuildings and structures. In 1902 the elder Trujillo&#39;s home was destroyed by fire during conflicts between English-speaking cattle ranchers and the Spanish Trujillos, who were by then major landowners in the area. The Trujillos sold their holdings, which became part the Medeno Zapata Ranch, now owned by the Nature Conservancy. The homestead area, including the surviving homestead and the ruins of the destroyed one, was declared a National Historic Landmark District in February 2012.</p><br>
<p>King Arthurs Cave is a limestone cave at the foot of a low cliff at the north-western end of Lords Wood in The Doward, near Symonds Yat, Herefordshire, about four miles northeast of Monmouth, in the Wye Valley. The cave entrance lies about 285 feet above the River Wye on a hill, with a double interconnected entrance and two main chambers. It is protected as a nature reserve under the Herefordshire Nature Trust. There is evidence that the cave was occupied by man during the Upper Palaeolithic era, and flint tools and woolly mammoth bones have been unearthed within and around the caves.</p><br>
<h2>Background</h2><br>
<p>It is uncertain exactly how the cave got its name. A skeleton of a "giant human" was supposedly discovered in the cave around 1700, but was lost when a local surgeon named Mr. Pye took the skeleton to sea on a voyage to Jamaica and his ship sank. The cave is shrouded in local superstition and is believed to have had a part in the early legend of King Vortigern, a native British king who fought against the invading Anglo Saxons. Vortigern is said to have made his last stand against Aurelius at nearby Ganarew. Lawman mentions a castle on Cloard Hill in the district of Hergin, and has Vortigern dying after the castle was besieged and fired by Aurelius and Uther. Helen Hill Miller, in her 1969 book The Realms of Arthur, suggests a military use for the cave, arguing that the cave&#39;s "recesses penetrate very far into the hill, and could hide a substantial force". The cave has a parallel with Cadbury Castle in that it is a cave within a hillfort.</p><br>
<h2>Excavations</h2><br>
<p>In 1871 the caves were excavated by Reverend William S. Symonds, after he learned that some miners had raided them. He unearthed hyena, lion, brown bear, red deer, rhinoceros, Irish Elk, reindeer, and horse bones dated to the Late Pleistocene. He also found flint implements from the Upper Palaeolithic and fragments of Neolithic pottery.</p><br>
<p>Members of the Cotswold Naturalists Field Club also explored the caves, under the supervision of the Reverend Symonds, which led to further remarkable discoveries. They initially inspected one of the Doward caves, situated about 200 yards from King Arthurs Cave:</p><br>
<p>Between 1925 and 1927 the University of Bristol Spelæological Society (UBSS) excavated here, and in 1926 Garrod dated his findings in the upper cave to the Upper Palaeolithic and those from the lower cave to the Middle Palaeolithic. The society returned in 1955 but found nothing new. In 1989, the caves and the Upper Wye Gorge of some 1.5 hectares (3.7 acres) was designated a SSSI.</p><br>
<h2>Structure</h2><br>
<p>The cave is said to "consist of a broad entrance platform, a double interconnected entrance and two main chambers", about 300 feet above the River Wye. One of the chambers is large and circular in shape, about 25 feet in diameter. The main chambers obtained the names Bears Den and Lions Cave due to the paleontological items found there. There are also several other open rooms to the cave.</p><br>
<p>Fairyland Pond is a pond within Hapgood Wright Town Forest, a conservation area in Concord, Massachusetts. It is a popular recreation area, notable for its old-growth forest and its association with many literary figures from Concord’s past.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The area is mentioned in the writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau and their contemporaries. The name ‘Fairyland’ probably dates to the 1850s and is attributed to Emerson’s children and their companions, including Louisa May Alcott, who lived nearby and often played there.</p><br>
<p>The Fairyland Pond as it appears today is artificial, having been created in the late 19th century when a dam was constructed. The dam’s drainage culvert was rebuilt in 2011. The inflow to the pond originates about 500 feet to the south at Brister’s Spring, named for Brister Freeman (mistakenly identified by Henry David Thoreau as ‘Scipio’ or ‘Sippio’ Brister), a freed slave who lived with his family on the small hill from which the spring emerges. The location of Brister’s house is now marked as part of the Drinking Gourd Project, which commemorates Concord’s role in the abolitionist movement. The site was considered significant by Emerson, who would sometimes bring visitors to drink a glass of water from the spring.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Like the nearby Walden Pond (about half a mile to the south), Fairyland lies within a kettle hole, a depression formed by a retreating glacier. The artificial pond itself covers an area of 2.75 acres. Unlike Walden Pond (which is the deepest lake in Massachusetts), the Fairyland Pond is relatively shallow, with a maximum depth of 4 feet. Its 60-acre watershed is largely undeveloped, lying mostly within the Hapgood Wright conservation area. A certified vernal pool lies immediately to the west of the pond. The surrounding forest is primarily mixed hardwood, hemlock, pine and maple, and the area provides habitat for a diverse range of wildlife.</p><br>
<h2>Conservation</h2><br>
<p>The Fairyland Pond and its surroundings were owned and protected for many years by Emerson’s daughter Edith Emerson Forbes. In 1935 the land was purchased by the town of Concord as the centerpiece of the Hapgood Wright Town Forest, a conservation area which now covers 183 acres. In the 1970s and 1980s the area was threatened by plans for large-scale development, including a proposed cloverleaf interchange between MA Rte 2 and Rte 126 (Walden Street), which would have obliterated Brister’s Spring and destroyed the area’s natural character. In 1984 part of Brister’s Hill was acquired by the prominent real-estate developer Mort Zuckerman, who intended to create a large office park on the site. These plans provoked strong opposition, given the perceived cultural significance of ‘Thoreau country’ in the origin of the environmental movement, and were ultimately defeated through the efforts of local conservation advocates, along with the musician Don Henley (lead singer of The Eagles), who donated funds and mobilized political and celebrity support (including a visit by President Clinton ) to acquire and preserve the threatened site as part of the Walden Woods Project.</p><br>
<h2>Access</h2><br>
<p>The Fairyland Pond lies on the Bay Circuit Trail, and is accessible by foot from the small parking lot on Walden Street opposite the entrance to the Concord-Carlisle High School. There is also a handicapped parking lot close to the Brister house site.</p><br>
<p>The Liane is a 37 km river in the Pas-de-Calais department in northern France. It rises in Quesques and flows into the English Channel at Boulogne-sur-Mer. Other communes along its length include: Selles, Brunembert, Bournonville, Alincthun, Crémarest, Wirwignes, Questrecques, Samer, Carly, Hesdigneul-lès-Boulogne, Isques, Saint-Léonard, Hesdin-l&#39;Abbé, Condette, Saint-Étienne-au-Mont, and Outreau.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The Liane flows for a length of 36.7 km. It rises at Quesques, then flows through the communes of Bournonville, Wirwignes, Questrecques, Carly, Hesdigneul, Isques and Saint-Léonard. It finally flows into the English channel at Boulogne-sur-Mer. Before being fitted with canals and locks, the Liane estuary contributed directly to the fleuve marin côtier which abuts the Picardy estuaries up to the location of the two capes. It has been proposed in one variation of the project that its estuary, although significantly transformed by technology, should be part of a putative natural park, the Parc naturel marin à louvert des estuaires picards et en mer dOpale, a proposal in preparation since 2008 and submitted to public enquiry in 2011.</p><br>
<h3>Morphology and Tributaries</h3><br>
<p>The average gradient of the Liane is 2.8 ‰. Its tributaries include the following:</p><br>
<h2>Hydrology</h2><br>
<p>The Liane is a very fast flowing river, but quite irregular. Its flow rate has been measured over a 27-year period (1965-1991), at Hesdigneul-lès-Boulogne near Boulogne-sur-Mer, a short way from its mouth. The watershed of the river at that point is 196 km², or approximately 80% of its maximum value of 244 km²).</p><br>
<p>The mean interannual flow rate or discharge of the Liane at Hesdigneul-lès-Boulogne is 2.99 m³/s.</p><br>
<p>Just like its neighbour, the Wimereux, but unlike most Pas-de-Calais waterways, the Liane exhibits highly marked seasonal fluctuations. High waters occur at the end of autumn and in winter, characterised by monthly mean flow rates between 3.06 and 5.33 m³/s, from November to March inclusive with a maximum in January. Low waters occur in summer, from June to September, with a decrease in monthly mean flow rate descending to 0.76 m³/s in August. However variations in flow rate are much more pronounced over short periods or from year to year.</p><br>

<p>At low water, the 3-year low instantaneous flow rate can drop to 0.066 m³/s in the case of a dry five-year period or 66 litres per second, which can be described as severe.</p><br>
<p>Floods can be very significant considering the modest size of this small river and its watershed. The instantaneous maximal flowrate 2 (IMFR2) and IMFR5 metrics are 37 and 52 m³ respectively. The IMFR10, or flow rate calculated from the ten-year flood, is 61 m³/s, the IMFR20 is 70 m³/s and the IMFR50 was 82 m³/s.</p><br>
<p>The maximum instantaneous flow rate recorded at Hesdigneul-lès-Boulogne during the 2-year measurement period was 47.3 m³/s on 1 December 1979, while the maximum daily average flow rate was 41.6 m³/s on 6 February 1988. Comparing the first of these values to the scale of the IMFR numbers, it becomes clear that the 1979 flood was hardly a 5-year event, and thus floods of this size are to be expected very frequently.</p><br>
<p>The Liane is a very fast-flowing small river, fed heavily by the high rainfall in its watershed. The watershed runoff curve number is 483 mm annually, which is substantially larger than the average of France based on all its watersheds, as well as, for example, the average for the watershed of the neighbouring Lys which measures 249 mm at Wervicq-Sud. The specific flow rate reaches 15.3 litres per second per square kilometre of watershed.</p><br>
<h2>Ecological status</h2><br>
<p>Other than near its source, the Lianes water quality was mediocre to highly polluted during the years 1980-1990, mainly as a result of industrial and urban waste. Towns and industries are now polluting less, but ploughing has conquered land from farming and pasture which have been pushed back in this region, and farmland erosion and fields which are kept barren in winter and autumn are a cause of the Lianes almost constant turbidity. In 2005, the Liane remained turbid and its French water quality grade insatisfaisante (unsatisfactory), with too much nitrates and organic substances from Carly onwards, according to the water agency. At the mouth at Boulogne, the Liane&#39;s waters are graded as mauvaise (bad), with all the indicators being bad: macro-pollutants, organic and oxidizable substances, azot substances (nitrates) and phosphoric substances.</p><br>
<p>The situation may be improved by the Water Framework Directive, and by the local Schéma d&#39;Aménagement et de Gestion des Eaux water management scheme.</p><br>
<p>For some years a fishermens association has, through various activities, attempted to make the Liane known other than for its reputation as being highly polluted; while this is true around Boulogne-sur-Mer, there are some places where the Liane is a picturesque river with swarms of fish. The Association des Pêcheurs de la Vallée de la Liane fishermens association even regularly deposits wild trout (known as "farios") to repopulate the river and replace the fish which they have caught.</p><br>
<p>Lovewell Reservoir is a reservoir in Jewell County, Kansas, United States. Built and managed by the USA Bureau of Reclamation, it is used for flood control, irrigation, and recreation. Lovewell State Park is located on its north shore.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>A particularly destructive flood of the Republican River in 1935 drove congressmen and senators from Colorado, Kansas, and Nebraska to lobby for the development of a flood control and irrigation project in the river valley. Both the USA Army Corps of Engineers and USA Bureau of Reclamation produced reports on the viability of the project, ultimately leading to the authorization of the Bostwick Division by the Flood Control Act of 1944 as part of the Pick-Sloan Missouri Basin Program.</p><br>
<p>Development of the Division was to include construction of Lovewell Dam and Reservoir, named for early Jewell County, Kansas settler Thomas Lovewell, on White Rock Creek, a tributary of the Republican. Contractors started building the dam January 27, 1955. Construction finished in 1957 with filling of the reservoir beginning October 1. The reservoir became operational October 15, 1957.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Lovewell Reservoir is located at 39&deg;53&prime;52&Prime;N latitude, 98&deg;03&prime;51&Prime;W longitude (39.8977727, -98.0640461) at an elevation of 1,578 ft. The entirety of the reservoir lies within Jewell County.</p><br>
<p>The reservoir is impounded at its eastern end by Lovewell Dam. The dam is located at 39&deg;53&prime;25&Prime;N latitude, 98&deg;01&prime;36&Prime;W longitude (39.8902899, -98.0267115) at an elevation of 1,617 ft. White Rock Creek, a tributary of the Republican River, is both the reservoirs primary inflow from the west and outflow to the east. Smaller tributaries include Montana Creek, which flows south into the reservoirs west end, and Johns Creek, which flows north into the reservoir&#39;s west end.</p><br>
<p>Kansas Highway 14 runs north-south immediately west of the reservoir.</p><br>
<p>There is one settlement at Lovewell Reservoir: the small community of Webber, Kansas located roughly 2 mi north of the reservoir&#39;s east end.</p><br>
<h2>Hydrography</h2><br>
<p>The surface area, surface elevation, and water volume of the reservoir fluctuate based on inflow and local climatic conditions.</p><br>
<p>The streambed underlying the reservoir has an elevation of 1,550 ft. Since the reservoir&#39;s initial flooding, sedimentation has gradually accumulated on the reservoir bottom thus raising its elevation.</p><br>
<h2>Infrastructure</h2><br>
<p>Lovewell Dam is an earth-fill embankment dam with a structural height of 93 ft and a length of 8,500 ft. At its crest, the dam has an elevation of 1,616 ft. A 53 ft concrete spillway controlled by two radial gates is located at the south end of the dam and empties into the creek. Just south of the spillway is a gated wasteway outlet controlled by one radial gate which empties into a short outlet canal and stilling basin.</p><br>
<p>As part of the Bureau of Reclamations Bostwick Division, Lovewell Reservoir is connected to a network of canals, reservoirs, and irrigation works that extend across north-central Kansas and south-central Nebraska. A gated outlet from the divisions Courtland Canal, located at the north end of Lovewell Dam, provides a second inflow to the reservoir.</p><br>
<h2>Management</h2><br>
<p>The USA Bureau of Reclamation operates and maintains Lovewell Dam and Reservoir.</p><br>
<h2>Parks and recreation</h2><br>
<p>The KDWP operates Lovewell State Park on the north shore of the reservoir&#39;s eastern end.</p><br>
<p>Lovewell Reservoir is open for sport fishing. Lovewell Wildlife Area is open for hunting although it is restricted in some areas.</p><br>
<h2>Wildlife</h2><br>
<p>Fish species resident in the reservoir include channel catfish, crappie, walleye, and wiper. Game animals living around the reservoir include deer, pheasants, quail, rabbits, and turkeys.</p><br>
<p>Kleiner Werder is the name of an island and its associated group  of uninhabited and not clearly geographically separable German islands in the Baltic Sea that belong to the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.</p><br>
<p>The individual island elements are only separated from one another by shallow water channels that occasionally dry out. Their highest points lie no more than one metre above sea level. The Kleiner Werder lies off the mainland east of the peninsula of Großer Werder and west of the likewise uninhabited island of Bock. It is only separated from Bock by narrow, shallow waterways. All the aforementioned islands and peninsulas have been formed in the last 150 years or so by the deposition of sediments that had been carried away from elsewhere on the coast, especially from Darßer Ort and dumped by current further to the east. Numerous birds breed on these treeless islands; as a result they are protected as part of conservation zone I in the Western Pomerania Lagoon Area National Park and may only be visited with special permission.</p><br>

<p>Yellow Knolls, of Arizona, is a prominence in the Virgin River Gorge&#39;s east end, located in Mohave County, part of the Arizona Strip of northwest Arizona. Yellow Knolls is located on the north side of Interstate 15, and is also in the south of the Beaver Dam Mountains Wilderness.</p><br>
<p>The knolls are located where the Virgin River enters Arizona from southwest Utah; the Virgin River is a due-southwest trending circuitous stretch, as it descends from higher elevations at the southwest of the Colorado Plateau, specifically the High Plateaus Section, a transition region to the lower elevation Great Basin that lies west, northwest; the lower elevation region is also at an intersection point with the northeast perimeter region of the Mojave Desert. After a short stretch in Nevada, the Virgin River turns south in the Overton Arm of Lake Mead.</p><br>
<p>Yellow Knolls is approximately 15-mi northeast of Littlefield-Beaver Dam, Arizona in the northeast of the Virgin Valley, and about 20-mi southwest of St. George, Utah.</p><br>
<p>The Yellow Knolls section is bordered on the west by a due-south flowing stretch of Cedar Pockets Wash, which arises on the southeast of Jarvis Peak, 6,530 ft, (the highpoint of the south Beaver Dam Mountains section). The Yellow Knolls section is about 4-mi wide, and Yellow Knolls prominence, 2,668 ft, is located at the southeast, adjacent the river and gorge, as the river descends from the northeast from Utah.</p><br>
<p>An aerial photo (shown above) shows the Virgin River meanders, and are easily identifiable on maps. The section shows the Arizona-Utah border; the canyon coming from the south is Black Rock Canyon, arising from Mustang Knoll highpoint, 6,101 ft, a lower mountain section east of the Paiute Wilderness, located in the northeast end of the Virgin Mountains.</p><br>
<p>The Gallinger Municipal Hospital Psychopathic Ward consisted of three hospital buildings in the Southeastern Quadrant of Washington, D.C.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>These buildings were built in 1920-1923 to the Colonial Revival design of Washington architect Snowden Ashford. Local contractor George H. Wynne constructed the buildings for $766,200. By 1924 it had been featured in the journal Modern Hospital and was also described in 1928 in the standard text The American Hospital of the Twentieth Century.</p><br>
<p>The hospital was named for Senator Jacob Harold Gallinger of New Hampshire, who sponsored the bill for its construction in the Senate.</p><br>
<p>It was renamed D.C. General Hospital in 1953, and closed in 2001.</p><br>
<p>Construction of a prison on the site was planned in 1986, with preservationists contesting the plan until 1989. The buildings were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in February, 1989 and were demolished c. 1990.</p><br>
<p>Raqada or Raqâda  is the site of the second capital of the 9th-century dynasty of Aghlabids, located about ten kilometers southwest of Kairouan, Tunisia. The site now houses the National Museum of Islamic Art.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 876, the ninth Aghlabid emir Ibrahim II ibn Ahmad (875-902) felt the need to change residence to find a quiet place away from city noise. The new city is provided with several palaces and a mosque. The Aghlabids founded a factory of textile and paper to supply the House of Wisdom and Science (Bayt al-Hikma). At a time, Raqqada became even larger than Kairouan.</p><br>
<p>In 909, Abdullah al-Mahdi Billah, founder of the dynasty of the Fatimids, who had moved to Kairouan, finally settled in Raqqada. He chose another capital and founded the town of Mahdia. He proclaimed himself as the Imam in 909.</p><br>
<p>The 7 July 969, the troops of the fourth Fatimid Caliph Al-Muizz Lideenillah entered Fustat in Egypt. The caliph founded a new city Cairo, which was now to be the capital. Raqqada was demolished after the construction of Cairo.</p><br>
<p>After 1960, a presidential palace was built on a site of twenty acres, some remains of which are still visible, it houses since 1986 the National Museum of Islamic Art Raqqada.</p><br>
<p>Excavation campaigns initiated in the early 1960s on the site of ancient palaces have yielded abundant fragments of pottery to glaze, including shards and tiles with a metallic sheen with floral and plant ( vine leaf stylized) and carefully decorated cuts (cutting the bird dating from the second half of the 9th century).</p><br>
<h2>National Museum of Islamic Art</h2><br>
<p>The museum specializes in medieval Islamic art and includes works from Kairouan and Raqqada sites and Al-Mansuriya, a former princely city built in the Fatimid period.</p><br>
<p>Admission is vested in the Great Mosque of Kairouan and presents a reproduction of its mihrab and a model of the monument. The next room contains collections of ceramics dating from the times when Raqqada was occupied (9th and 10th centuries). Another room contains collections of numismatic coins from different eras that illustrate the economic history of the Ifriqiya for more than six centuries. The largest collection is that of Korans of exceptional calligraphy and a collection of manuscripts and pages belonging originally to the library of the Great Mosque of Kairouan. Among the gems of this collection, are the leaves of the Blue Koran dating from the 10th century.</p><br>
<p>Lokon-Empung is a volcano on the island of Sulawesi. It is one of the most active in Indonesia. It consists of two volcanic cones, the older Lokon and the younger Empung. The active crater of Tompaluan is situated in the saddle between the two cones.</p><br>

<p>Lokon cone, the older and higher (reaching a height of 1,580 M) of the two cones, has a flat and craterless top. Lokon formed during a period of andesitic volcanism on ring fractures resulting from the Tondano caldera&#39;s Late Miocene or Early Pliocene collapse. Empung is the younger of the two cones. The cone has a 400 M wide crater that is 150 M deep. The cone of Empung has erupted twice in historical times (two moderate eruptions in the 14th and 18th centuries), but all subsequent eruptions have originated from the Tompuluan crater.</p><br>
<p>Tompaluan is a 150 x 250 m wide double crater situated in the saddle between the two peaks, historical eruptions have been reported from the crater since the mid-19th century.</p><br>
<h2>Eruptive history</h2><br>
<p>Historical eruptions have been reported since 1375 (give or take 25 years). The first two eruptions came from the Empung cone, both the eruptions were VEI 3&#39;s. Eruptions since 1829 have been from the Tompaluan Crater. Most eruptions from the crater have been mild Phreatic eruptions, but Lava domes and lava flows have also been erupted.</p><br>
<p>The Gunboat Sheds  is a row of 32 black-painted wooden sheds located on the east coast of Frederiksholm, part of Holmen, in Copenhagen, Denmark. Built in the first half of the 19th century for the naval base which used to occupy the grounds, they have now been adapted for other use. They were listed in 1964.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Gunboat Sheds owe their existence and name to the so-called gunboats which were built after the Danish naval fleet had been captured at the Holmen naval base by the Royal British Navy on 21 October 1807. The gunboats were used in the last stage of the English Wars, now known as the Gunboat War. The small gunboats were employed against the conventional Royal British Navy. Built to provide on-land protection for the gunboats when they were not in use, the sheds were mainly built in around 1830. Each shed could accommodate two gunboats.</p><br>
<p>When the gunboats were replaced by more modern vessels, the sheds remained in use for storing motor boats and other smaller vessels. They were listed in 1964 but had fallen into a state of neglect by the time the Navy left Holmen in 1996. They were sold in 1998 and in 1999 to Søtoftegård A/S and Keops A/S. The new owners undertook a thorough restoration and adapted the buildings for use as office space with the assistance of PLH Architects. On 18 August 2006 a fire destroyed five sheds in the middle of the row but they were subsequently rebuilt.</p><br>
<h2>The Gunboat Sheds today</h2><br>
<p>Since the renovation, the sheds have housed small businesses mainly in the creative sector, such as advertising agencies, media houses and architectural practises. The tenants include KHR Arkitekter and the short-lived newspaper Dagen was also based there. The street Kanonbådsvej is named after the sheds.</p><br>
<p>Samarès Manor  is a manor house with medieval origins in the Vingtaine de Samarès, in the parish of St. Clement in Jersey, and is the traditional home of the Seigneur de Samarès. The name Samarès is an old French word meaning salt-marsh, and much of the low-lying surrounding areas are or were coastal marshes.</p><br>
<p>The gardens are open to the public from April until October.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The oldest part of the house is the undercroft thought to be a crypt dedicated to Saint Martha, dating from the 11th or 12th century. Today, the west-wing of the manor house is above the undercroft. The original building, possibly a chapel, which once stood above the crypt is no longer present.</p><br>
<p>The manor house is a H-plan building with a number of Tudor arched windows on the ground floor.</p><br>
<p>The round colombier (dovecote) is believed to be the oldest in Jersey and may date to as early as the 12th century.</p><br>
<p>The present gardens were first created in the 1920s by Sir James Knott who bought the manor in 1924. This substantial work included re-claiming the salt marsh area near the manor.</p><br>
<p>On the 12 June 2009, the manor&#39;s grounds were used by the BBC as a location for filming an episode of Antiques Roadshow.</p><br>
<h2>Farm</h2><br>
<p>Samarès Manor farm lies directly to east of the manor house. Many of the buildings are now used as self-catering accommodation.</p><br>
<p>Belleville High School, later Republic County Middle School, is a school building constructed in 1931 in Belleville, Kansas. Architect S. S. Voigt designed the school in the Collegiate Gothic style. The red brick building features a limestone foundation and detail work, multiple gable roofs and gabled dormers, and windows with quoined surrounds.</p><br>
<p>The building served as Bellevilles high school until 1962, then as the citys junior high school and middle school. At the end of the 2012–2013 school year, the school was closed and the property sold to a private developer, who declared his intention to convert it to an apartment complex dubbed Buffalo Apartments.</p><br>
<p>The school was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 25, 2013.</p><br>

<p>Motijhil , also known as Company Bagh due to its association with the East India Company, is a horse-shoe shaped lake in Murshidabad, West Bengal, India. It was created by Nawazish Muhammad Khan, the son-in-law of Nawab Alivardi Khan. He also constructed a precious palatial palace beside this lake which is called the Sang-i- dalan  which is also known as the Motijhil Palace. It is located at the bend of this lake. It was used as the residence of Nawazish and Ghaseti Begum, Nawazish&#39;s beloved wife. It is said that after Nawazish died, Ghaseti Begum lived here until Nawab Siraj ud-Daulah took over the palace and seized humongous amount of treasures in 1756 AD. With this money he built a similar lake with a beautiful palace, Hirajheel, on the opposite side of the Bhagirathi River. The palace has a lofty gateway, a mosque known as the "Shahamat Jang" and the Kala Masjid and some other buildings which were all built by Nawazish. This palace was built in 1740. As far as etymology is concerned, the palace has been named so as it was built using black basalt pillars which were brought from the ruins of Gaur. Thus, it was given the name of Sang-i-Dalan or the Stone Palace. This palace was then decorated with different varieties of flower plants and precious marbles. Inside the palace is a huge room having no doors or windows in it and closed on all the four sides. Some say that huge quantity of wealth belonging to the Begum had been kept hidden underground the room. Once labourers were employed to break open the masonry and excavate the treasure, but they ended up vomiting blood, so nobody dares to open it. The room is 65 feet long, 23 feet broad, 12 feet high plinth area, 1339 square feet.</p><br>
<p>According to James Rennell Motijhil is a horse shoe shaped lake. Motijhil is situated about one and a half kilometers away from Murshidabad in the south and about three kilometres away from the Hazarduari Palace in the south east. It has been excavated on the former beds of the Bhagirathi River that once flowed near this lake. The river was much nearer in 1766 that now. At south there is a tank known as the Shanti Pukur. The offices were built on its banks.</p><br>
<p>Motijhil was also the residence of Warren Hastings from 1771 to 1773, when he became the political President at the court of the Nawab. It had also paid host to Robert Clive and John Shore, 1st Baron Teignmouth.</p><br>
<h2>Kala Masjid</h2><br>
<p>Kala Masjid, is situated in the vicinity of the lake and was constructed in 1749–50 AD. The construction date is also mentioned in a Persian inscription which is embedded in the wall of the mosque.</p><br>
<p>The mosque is rectangular in plan and has is three domed. The mosque rests on several octagonal drums which are plain and are devoid of any decoration and the domes are crowned by lotus and kalasha (pot) finials. It also has four octagonal minarets at the four corners which taper upwards and are topped by bulbous kiosks which are supported on slender pillars. The minaret shafts are decorated. The facade is also ornamented. Three arched doorways on the east open to a prayer hall. A copy of the Quran, calligraphed by Nawazish Muhammad Khan himself is also kept preserved inside the mosque.</p><br>
<p>The plinth area of the mosque is 5986 square feet.</p><br>
<p>Opposite to this masjid on the east banks of the lake used to be an ornamented mosque known as the Raesh Bagh.</p><br>
<p>Motijheel lake and the structures in its vicinity are protected monuments and are looked after by the Archaeological Survey of India.</p><br>
<h2>Tombs</h2><br>
<p>To the west of the mosque and beyond the compound wall of the Motijhil Lake atnds a ruined royal gateway, also built by Nawazish Muhammad Khan and very near to this is a building which is supposed to be a place to hide the royal treasury.</p><br>
<p>Motijhil also hosts the grave of the son of Mr. Keating, Edward Keating. In 1974, Mr. Keating was the Superintendent of the Murshidabad Mint and later became the judge of the court of appeal. The slab embedded on the grave says that his son was born on 20 December 1779 and died on 3 March 1785 (aged 5 years, 2 months and 11 days).</p><br>
<h2>New constructions</h2><br>
<p>In 1758, after Siraj ud-Daulah&#39;s defeat in at the Battle of Plassey, Mir Jafar, who succeeded Siraj as the Nawab of Bengal, constructed a palace with 12 doors here and named it Bara Duari (the palace with twelve doors). Robert Clive is said to have lived here. He also stayed here to negotiate with the Nawabs for the transfer of the Diwani to the East India Company. On 29 April 1766 he held the first ceremony of beginning the revenue collections here with Clive as the Dewan, when Nazam-ud-Daulah was the Nawab.</p><br>
<p>The Afon Elan  is a tributary of the River Wye which runs through the wide expanse of upland moors, traditionally known as Elenydd, in central Wales. Its valley is the Elan Valley. The name probably arises from elain meaning &#39;hind&#39; or &#39;fawn&#39; in reference perhaps to the rushing, bounding nature of its course.</p><br>
<p>It has its source in wet moorland on the eastern flank of Pen y Deunant in Ceredigion. It is joined by Nant Dderwen, Nant Cwta and Nant Hirin before entering the top of the Elan Valley Reservoirs at Craig Goch Reservoir which in turn discharges to Garreg-ddu Reservoir and then Caban-coch Reservoir. It emerges from this chain of reservoirs in a north-easterly direction and passes through Elan Village before turning south-east after 2 miles and making its confluence with the River Wye.</p><br>
<p>Touch House is a country house located 4 km west of Stirling in central Scotland. It stands at the foot of the Touch Hills, on the south side of the River Forth. The house incorporates a 16th-century tower house, but its present form dates to the middle of the 18th century when the south facade was added, described by Historic Scotland as "Probably the finest Georgian elevation in the County of Stirling."</p><br>
<p>The house is a category A listed building, and the grounds are included in the Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes in Scotland, the national listing of significant gardens.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The name derives from the Gaelic tulach, meaning hillock, and is first recorded in 1329 in the form Tulch. The Touch estate was the property of the Frasers; a tower house may have existed from the 14th century. Touch was acquired by Alexander Seton, kinsman of the powerful Seton family, in the middle of the 15th century, and in 1480 his son Alexander is recorded as 1st laird of Touch. Elizabeth Seton inherited Touch in 1742, and in 1745 she hosted Bonnie Prince Charlie at the house, a few days prior to the battle of Prestonpans (21 September). Elizabeth married Hugh Smith, who took the name Seton, and the couple set about extending their property.</p><br>
<p>Debts were incurred during the building of the house, and Hugh Seton continued to borrow money to fund agricultural improvements, including drainage works on the carse (floodplain) of the Forth. Hugh was eventually imprisoned as a debtor in Dover Castle, leaving the country on his release. His son Archibald Seton (1758–1818) joined the East India Company in 1779, and subsequently became a member of the Supreme Council at Fort William, Calcutta, and Lieutenant-Governor of Prince of Wales Island (Penang). Touch was managed in his absence by his brother-in-law, Sir Henry Seton-Steuart of Allanton. Sir Henry is responsible for the present layout of the parkland around the house, having commissioned Thomas White to prepare designs. A million trees are said to have been planted on the estate.</p><br>
<p>Touch was inherited by the Seton-Steuart branch of the family in 1866, and was subsequently let, the owners living at Allanton. In 1928 the estate was sold by Sir Douglas Seton-Steuart, 5th Baronet, to Mr C. A. Buchanan. Sir Robert Lorimer was commissioned to restore the interiors. Touch became a convalescent home during the Second World War, but was subsequently reoccupied by the Buchanans.</p><br>
<p>The south facade is topped by a pediment, carved with the arms of the Setons of Touch. The rear parts of the building date to the 16th and 17th centuries, including the tower house which stands on the eastern side. The 18th-century stable block has since been converted and leased as offices.</p><br>
<p>The Slovene Prealps or the Slovenian Prealps  are a group of mountain ranges in the eastern part of the Alps. They are located in Slovenia and, for a small part of their northernmost area, in Austria.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<h3>SOIUSA classification</h3><br>
<p>According to SOIUSA (International Standardized Mountain Subdivision of the Alps) the Slovene Prealps are an Alpine section, classified in the following way:</p><br>
<p>main part=Eastern Alps</p><br>
<p>major sector=Southern Limestone Alps</p><br>
<p>section=Slovene Prealps</p><br>
<p>code=II/C-36</p><br>
<h3>Subdivision</h3><br>
<p>The Slovene Prealps are divided into three non-contiguous subsections:</p><br>
<p>Western Slovene Prealps (Sl: Zahodne Slovenske Predalpe) - SOIUSA code:II/C-36.I</p><br>
<p>Eastern Slovene Prealps (Sl: Vzhodne Slovenske Predalpe) - SOIUSA code:II/C-36.II</p><br>
<p>Northeastern Slovene Prealps (Sl: Severovzhodne Slovenske Predalpe) - SOIUSA code:II/C-36.III</p><br>
<p>Two of these subsections include just one Alpine supergroup, and the third one is further subdivided in two supergroups:</p><br>
<p>Western Slovene Prealps:</p><br>
<p>supergroup Škofjeloško-Cerkljansko-Polhograjsko-Rovtarsko hribovje - SOIUSA code:II/C-36.I-A</p><br>

<p>Lake Weaver is a natural freshwater lake located in Lake Wales, Florida. The lake is also much of the time called Lake Weader. By looking at maps and websites, it appears both names are used as often as the other. The lake is on the north side of Central Avenue and just east of US Highway 27. Across the street on Central are businesses and to the lake&#39;s southeast are businesses. On the northeast shore is a residential area. To the north is a wooded area.</p><br>
<p>For a number of years the lake had a fountain in it. A small park is at its southwest corner. Boating and swimming are not allowed. The public may access the lake shore along its entire south shore and southeast shore, so Lake Weaver can be fished. The Hook and Bullet website says the lake contains blue catfish, bullhead and gar.</p><br>
<p>Pashan Lake  is an artificial lake near the suburb of Pashan, about 12 km from the city center of Pune, India. The lake was built in the British era to accommodate the water requirement of the neighbourhood. The main inlet of the lake is a small rivulet , which is even controlled by the barrage located to the north of the lake. Pashan lake has a total catchment area of 40 km&sup2, and serves as a source of water to the old Pashan village, and the Governor&#39;s residence, as well. Recent urbanisation around the lake has led to the fall in the quality of the water.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Pashan lake is a man-made lake, built to accommodate the water requirements of the Pashan and Sutarwadi suburbs. The lake was once a source of drinking water, but the recent boom in urbanisation and silting of the lake has degraded the water and made it unfit for drinking. The lake served as a source of water to old Pashan village, for growing crops and to the nearby Governor&#39;s house. The lake and its surrounding area attracts migratory birds and so is popular spot for bird watchers. Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has constructed a 300-metre footpath called the Nature Trail alongside the lake. It is constructed along the western shore of Pashan lake. Also, PMC has built a bamboo plantation and a wall alongside the lake to protect it and attract birds.</p><br>
<h2>Environmental concerns</h2><br>
<p>Recently, deforestation on nearby hills has caused heavy silt formation resulting in decrease in the depth of the lake. Ipomea weed is also cited as a major cause of lake&#39;s deterioration as it prohibits the growth of other plants. Also washing of trucks in the area contributes to the pollution by adding oil and petrol to the sewage. PMC estimates that 40,000 people could be provided with drinking water at per capita cost of as compared with the existing per capita cost of.</p><br>
<p>The water quality deteriorated fast as the quantity of sewage water and other effluents mixing in the water kept rising. PMC worked towards improving the filtration plant but water quality remained poor. In 1998, Pune Municipal Corporation discontinued providing drinking water from the lake. However, now the lake is being studied for providing potable water again. During the financial year 2004&ndash;2005 PMC spent for de-silting Pashan and Katraj lakes. Reactivation of Pashan purification plant is also under PMC consideration.</p><br>
<p>Agri Dag  is a ridge at the mid of the Armenian highland. It starts near sources of the Araxes river and stretches from the south bank as far west as Mount Ararat. The length of the ridge 200 km, the height - up to 3445 m. It was formed by a chain of volcanoes that arose along a major tectonic fault. The ridge is part of the watershed between the basins of the Caspian Sea and the Persian Gulf.</p><br>
<h2>Etymology</h2><br>
<p>After the Armenian genocide the ethnic composition changed. Since the 1920s the Turkish republic started the turkification of all Armenian toponyms remaining in the eastern half of present-day Turkey. The Haykakan Par mountains came under the wave of turkification and got "Agridag" or "Aras Guney Daglari" names.</p><br>
