<p>The Dr. J. W. S. Gallagher House is a 1913 Prairie School house in Winona, Minnesota, United States, designed by the noted architectural firm of Purcell & Elmslie. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984 for having local significance in the theme of architecture.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Dr. J. W. S. Gallagher House is essentially rectangular, with a gabled porch on the side and another on the rear. It is two stories with side gables, a low-pitched roof, and wide eaves. The house has stucco walls with cypress trim. Architectural details include a five-sided bay window on the northeast corner, sawn wood decorations, and came glasswork windows. It was nominated for being a well-preserved example of the modest residential commissions that typified Purcell & Elmslie&#39;s work, despite their acclaim for more prominent projects such as Merchants National Bank in downtown Winona.</p><br>
<p>The Jump River Town Hall, also known as McKinley Town Hall, is a historic Prairie School building located in Jump River, Wisconsin. Built in 1915, it was designed by the noted Prairie School architects Purcell & Elmslie,</p><br>
<p>The building listed on the NRHP as the "Jump River Town Hall" is actually the town hall of the town of McKinley. The town hall of the town of Jump River is the larger stone building built by the WPA a few hundred yards to the east. Both lie in the hamlet of Jump River - hence the confusion.</p><br>
<h2>Background</h2><br>
<p>In 1915, when the McKinley town hall was built, McKinley was a rather remote corner of northern Wisconsin. Pine/river logging was largely done. Hardwood/railroad logging was still going pretty well, and some of the land was being taken by farmers and settlers. The town of McKinley had been split from the town of Westboro in 1902 and included what is now McKinley and what is now the town of Jump River.</p><br>
<p>Purcell & Elmslie was a prominent architecture firm of the Prairie School, perhaps second only to Frank Lloyd Wright. Key ideas of this style were that the building should fit with the landscape, often by emphasizing horizontal lines to suggest the wide-open prairies, and that America should have an original style, not aping older styles from Europe.</p><br>
<h2>Design</h2><br>
<p>William Gray Purcell designed the town hall with a trapezoidal facade at each end, rising up well above the roof-line. Between those ends runs a long gable roof with wide eaves and a band of windows down each side. At the north end is an entry porch and flagpole. The exterior walls are covered by horizontal board and batten, stained green. The interior is one long hall with two small offices. Today the town hall is little changed from the time it was built, and is still used for town meetings and voting.</p><br>
<p>Purcell wrote about his design of the building as follows: "I used the horizontal interlocking system of broad boards and fillets and gave the building something of the feeling of the old log lumber camp buildings. Whether the Jump River populace enjoyed having their town hall look like a wanigan instead of a little cracker box, I do not know, but it looked comfortable and practical."</p><br>
<p>Of particular note is the buildings small size. One of the ideas of the Prairie School was that "serious architectural design can be applied to even the least-grand commissions." The only other public building designed by Purcell and Elmslie is the Kasson Municipal Building in Minnesota. The McKinley Town Hall is much smaller - basically a one-room building - but with a unique, attractive design that exemplifies the Prairie Styles progressive ideal.</p><br>
<p>Seeyamangalam  is a small village in Vandavasi taluk in Tiruvannamalai district in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. The major occupation of the people living at this place is agriculture., it had a population of 1665. The place is known for the Avanibhajana Pallaveshwaram temple.</p><br>
<h2>Etymology</h2><br>
<p>The name "Seeyamangalam" might have evolved from the older name of this village "Simhavishnu Chathurvedhi mangalam" (சிம்ம விஷ்ணு சதுர்வேதிமங்கலம்) named after the Pallava king, Simhavishnu, father of Mahendravarman. Another possibility is that it might have derived from the name "Simhamangalam" (சிம்மமங்கலம்) named after Pallava king Narasimhavarman I.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>Seeyamangalam is located 25 km southwest of Vandavasi, 21 km southeast of Chettupattu and 63 km northeast of district headquarters Tiruvannamalai.</p><br>
<h2>Transportation</h2><br>
<p>From Vandavasi, town buses No:144, to Gingee and No: W2 to Magamaai Thirumeni go through Seeyamangalam. One privatre bus named V.M. from Desur to Gingee also go through Seeyamangalam. However, frequency of buses to this village is less. Hiring auto from Desur is a good option to reach.</p><br>
<h2>About the village</h2><br>
<p>Seeyamangalam village has more than 1500 years old heritage. It has two historically important rock cut cave temples, 7th century C.E. Rock cut Shiva Temple and 9th century C.E. rock cut Jain temple. Famous Buddhist Acharya and Philosopher Dignagar (6th century C.E.) was believed to be born in Seeyamangalam.</p><br>
<h2>Rock Cut Shiva Temple</h2><br>
<p>This rock cut Shiva temple was built by Mahendravarman I in 7th century C.E. The main deity Shiva, is called here as Thoon Andar in Tamil (தூண் ஆண்டார்) and Stambeshwara in Sanskrit. "Thoon" means pillar and "Andar" refers Lord and hence thoon andar means Lord of Pillars. This name is because of the presence of two pillars in front of this cave temple. Two dvarapalas are located on the either side of the entrance of Sanctum sanctorum of the shrine. The interesting feature of these dvarapalas is the presence of trisula prongs in them. Unlike other temples, here the main deity Thun Andar is facing the west direction. Lord Shiva was carved in the temple pillars as Natarajar and Vrishbhantika. This is the first temple in Tamil Nadu having the image of Lord Natarajar. Also, the dwarf Muyalaka is missing from the Natarajar image.</p><br>
<p>This temple was renovated and extended by various kings as it is evident from the presence of various inscriptions in Tamil and Grantha characters by Pallavas, Chola and Vijayanagara empires.</p><br>
<h2>Rock Cut Jain Temple</h2><br>
<p>This rock cut Jain temple was built by Western Ganga King Rajamalla II during the end of 9th century. This temple is seen in a hillock named Vijayadri (as per inscription of Rajamalla II) located northern side of Thun Andar Shiva temple. Inside the rock cut, recently a new Mahaveerar statue is kept and worshipped by nearby Tamil Jains. On the top of the rock facing east, relief sculptures of Mahaveerar, Parshavanthar and Bahubali are seen.</p><br>
<p>On the either side of Bahubali, his sisters Brahmi and Saundari are seen. On the top, left side of Bahubali, Indra sitting on elephant and right side, two Gandharvas are seen. The left hand of the Bahubali was damaged. The head of Parshavanathar is surrounded by five headed snake. The left and right side of Parshavanathar, his attendants Padmavathi and Daranendran can be seen. Both the images of Bahubali and Parshavanathar were carved in standing posture. The image of Mahaveerar, sitting in Sukhasana position on a Simhasana with his attendants on either side is seen at the extreme southern direction.</p><br>
<p>Though many people visit Rock Cut Shiva temple, they are often unaware of this rock cut jain temple.</p><br>
<h2>Jain Inscriptions</h2><br>
<p>There are two inscriptions found in this hillock. First one is seen near to relif sculptures (right side of Mahaveerar) and it was engraved in Grantha script and Sanskrit language. It is a mixture of prose and poetry. It explains that Rajamalla established two temples for Jinaraja in Vidyadri (hillock) in Saka 815 (892-93 A.D). It also explains Arunkal-anvaya (school of Jain Monks), which was adorned by illustrious pontiffs, who had successfully crossed the vast expanse of the sea of knowledge of all the sciences, belonged to Nandi Sanga of Jinendra Sanga. Though the inscription mentions two temples, the second one is not yet found.</p><br>
<p>The second inscription which was engraved in Tamil (Tamil portion, prose) and Grantha (Sanskrit portion, poetry) characters, located at the foot of the hillock in the northern side of the temple. The Sanskrit portion explains the exaltation to the Arunkal-anvaya belonging to the Nandi Sanga of Dravida Sanga. The Tamil portion records that Vajranandhi-Yogindrar, the disciple of Gunaviradevar who was the Mandalacharya of Arunkal-anvaya caused to be constructed a flight of steps. These steps (see the picture gallery) are still in good condition.</p><br>
<p>Rajamalla II had built another jain rock cut temple in Vallimalai in Vellore district during the same 9th century C.E. This leads to the conclusion that some parts of northern Tamil Nadu was under the rule of this Western Ganga King Rajamalla II.</p><br>

<p>New Cliff House, also formerly known as the Hotel Gilmore and now known as the Sylvia Beach Hotel, is a historic hotel building in Newport, Oregon.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The hotel was built in 1913 for W. D. Wheeler and was promoted by the Southern Pacific Railroad in its literature advertising the connection of Yaquina Bay to the mail rail line at Corvallis. The New Cliff House replaced an earlier boarding house (the "Cliff House") at the same location. The popularity of the new resort at Newport was enhanced by the availability of alcohol, something unusual in the mostly "dry" area. The hotel overlooks Nye Beach, and is the only remnant of the tourist accommodations of that era in the Nye Beach section of Newport.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>As built, the New Cliff House had its kitchen and service areas in the basement, with a dining room at the end of that level overlooking the ocean. The lobby is on the main level, with some sleeping rooms. Parlor rooms and sleeping rooms occupied the second and third floors.</p><br>
<p>The building is L-shaped with a gabled roof, measuring about 80 ft by 30 ft, with a 10 ft by 27 ft extension. It is built in wood frame and covered in wood shingles, set on a concrete and stone foundation. The elevations feature simple double-hung sash windows, regularly spaced.</p><br>
<p>The hotel is relatively unaltered, with most changes on the lower level. Individual room arrangements have been changed to provide private toilets for the rooms. A moderate proportion of the original trim remains.</p><br>
<h2>Present</h2><br>
<p>New Cliff House was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 6, 1986.</p><br>
<p>The Ljubljana Marshes , located south of Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia, is the largest marsh in the country. It covers 163 km&sup2; or 0.8% of the Slovene territory. It is administered by the municipalities of Borovnica, Brezovica, Ljubljana, Ig, Log-Dragomer, Škofljica and Vrhnika.</p><br>
<h2>Biodiversity</h2><br>
<p>The Ljubljana Marshes is a place of great biodiversity. Since 2008, the major part of the Ljubljana Marshes, covering an area of 135 km&sup2;, has been protected as a landscape park. The most preserved parts had been already before protected as nature reserves and as natural monuments.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Ljubljana Marsh was inhabited in prehistoric times, when it was a shallow lake. Prehistoric pile dwellings and the oldest wooden wheel in the world are among the most notable archeological findings from the marshland. Since 2011, the area of pile dwellings near Ig has been protected as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.</p><br>
<p>The first road through the marsh, connecting Ljubljana to Studenec (now Ig), was begun in 1825 and completed in 1827. The work was carried out under Mayor Johann Nepomuk Hradeczky (1775–1846) and the provincial governor, Baron Joseph Camillo von Schmidburg (1779–1846). Emperor Francis I of Austria and Empress Caroline Augusta of Bavaria inspected the road in 1830, and a monument was erected to the achievement in 1833.</p><br>
<p>The marshland includes a number of hamlets that belong to the city of Ljubljana: Ilovica, Volar, Pri Strahu, Pri Maranzu, Kožuh, and Havptmance (from north to south). Ilovica was settled relatively late, starting in 1838, and had only six farms by 1860. Volar lies between the Iščica and Ljubljanica rivers and was settled after 1830, when it was also officially designated Karolinska zemlja (Karolinengrund), literally &#39;Caroline&#39;s land&#39;, in honor of Caroline Augusta of Bavaria. Kožuh lies further south, and Havptmance east of Kožuh. Havptmance was already mentioned as a place in the 18th century and was settled in the 1870s, when peat extraction was a major economic activity. The name Havptmance probably refers to the fact that the provincial governor (Landeshauptmann) had his hunting grounds in the area.</p><br>
<h2>Recreational and tourist site</h2><br>
<p>The Ljubljana Marshes is very popular among balloonists.</p><br>
<p>On 23 August 2012, a pilot without a valid pilot certificate caused the 2012 balloon crash which occurred on the Ljubljana Marshes, with several people dead and a number of passengers severely burned and injured. New, stricter protocol for pilots was introduced by the authorities to make balloon trips safe.</p><br>
<p>Pasvikdalen  is a valley in Norway and Russia. The Norwegian side of the valley belongs to Sør-Varanger Municipality in Finnmark county and the Russian side is located in the Pechengsky District in Murmansk Oblast. The valley contains large areas of pine forests, and more than 100 km&sup2;) of the valley is included inside the Øvre Pasvik National Park in Norway . The Øvre Pasvik Landscape Protection Area is also located in the valley, outside of the park.</p><br>
<p>The valley was traditionally inhabited by Sami people. The river Pasvikelva runs through the valley (giving it the name) and the river defines part of the Norway–Russia border. The southern part of the valley is also the location of the Treriksrøysa, the point where the borders of Norway, Finland, and Russia meet.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The middle of the 1930s on the Norwegian side of the valley, was "a time with homesteading and colonization of the valley, as part of a political desire to mark Norwegian sovereignty in the area. To make the valley attractive as a tourist destination, an observation tower was erected at the highest point of the area, 96 meters above sea level. At the top of the tower there was a restaurant run by Sør-Varanger turistforening".</p><br>
<h3>1968 Soviet projection of military power</h3><br>
<p>In the early hours of 7 June 1968, the 3 soldiers who were at the (Norwegian) border observation tower at 96-høyden outside Svanvik (Norway) (no), observed that 14 Soviet tanks simultaneously were pointing their barrels at Norwegian border observation posts when some of the tanks opened fire—apparently with blanks; the staging of tanks near the border was against Soviet—Norwegian treaties, because no advance notification has occurred; along the Soviet-Norwegian border the Soviets mobilized one infantry division supported by paratroopers and warplanes, including 70 T-54 tanks and 400 other vehicles.with sights pointed at Norwegian targets.</p><br>
<p>Betaab valley is situated at a distance of 15 kilometers from Pahalgam in Anantnag district in India&#39;s northernmost state of Jammu and Kashmir. The valley got its name from the Sunny Deol-Amrita Singh hit debut film Betaab. The Valley is towards northeast of Pahalgam and falls between Pahalgam and Chandanwadi and is en route Amarnath Temple Yatra. The valley surrounded by lush green meadows, snow clad mountains and covered with dense vegetation.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Betaab Valley, which is a part of Pahalgam area – one of the several Sub-valleys of Kashmir Valley came into existence during the post geosynclinal stage of the development of the Himalayas. Betaab Valley lies between the two Himalayan Ranges – Pir Panjal and Zanskar. Archaeological evidence proves the human existence in this region from the Neolithic Age, especially at Burzahom, Bomai and Pahalgam. Betaab Valley – a part of the Kashmir region, was ruled by the Mughals since the 15th Century. In latter part of the 15th century the Turko-Mughal Military General Mirza Muhammad Haidar Dughlat ruled over Kashmir first on behalf of Sultan Said Khan of Kashgar and then on behalf of the Mughal Emperor Humayun. A polyglot and a historical writer, General Haider wrote the ‘Tarik-i-Rashidi’ – a personal memoir of the Central Asian History.</p><br>
<p>Sultan Ghiyas-ud-Din Zain-ul-Abidin known by all his courtiers and Nobles as the greatest local King ruled the entire Kashmir region for about 40 years during which he was famous for promoting peace and harmony in Kashmir’s pluralistic society. He even gave a directive to restore and restructure Kashmir during his reign – quite contrary to conventional foreign invading rulers. It was under him that ‘Kashmiriyat’ – a ‘social and cultural consciousness’ of Kashmiri people was developed.</p><br>
<h2>Tourism</h2><br>
<p>Betab Valley is a very popular touristic destination. Betaab Valley is also a favorite campsite of travelers as it also serves as a base camp for trekking and further exploration of the mountains. The valley is a walk-able distance from Pahalgam. The crystal clear & chilly water of the stream bubbling down from the snowy hills is a delight; locals here drink this water too. Baisaran and Tulian Lake are few nearby attractions that can be visited.</p><br>
<h2>In popular culture</h2><br>
<p>Kashmir was home to the Indian film industry from the sixties to the eighties. Scores of films were shot in the Valley like Aarzoo, Kashmir Ki Kali, Jab Jab Phool Khile, Kabhie Kabhie, Silsila, Satte Pe Satta and Roti (1974 film), the list is endless. Film shooting almost came to a halt after militancy erupted in the Valley but with things improving now, one can hope that Bollywood would soon return to what many believe is its original home. The threat of militancy was a deterrent for over 30 years but with director Imtiaz Ali shooting for his film Rockstar (2011 film) in the beautiful valley with actors Ranbir Kapoor and Nargis Fakhri, the violence seems to be a thing of the past. The hut where Bobby was shot continues to be famous as the Bobby Hut. Many films like Jab Tak Hai Jaan,Yeh Jawani Hai deewani, Haider have been shot in the Jammu and Kashmir state.</p><br>
<p>Cala d’en Serra is a beach in the northern part of the Spanish island of Ibiza. It is in the municipality of Sant Joan de Labritja and is 4.3 mi north of the village of Sant Joan de Labritja, and 1.5 mi east of the beach resort of Portinatx.</p><br>
<p>The beach of Cala d’en Serra is a small horseshoe bay with a further satellite coves near by. The sandy beach has clean clear water and was once named in The Guardian newspaper, one of Europe’s best beaches. The bay is surrounded by steep cliffs.</p><br>
<h2>The Abandoned Hotel</h2><br>
<p>This building project was started in 1969 by acclaimed Catalan Architect Josep Lluís Sert, who was exiled in the United States at the time, was planned to be a luxury hotel resort complex. Sert’s clerk of works, Antonio Ferran signed off on his projects back in Catalonia to get around the fact that Spain&#39;s fascist government ensured that Sert himself could not be accredited as an architect in the Catalonia & Balearic islands region. By the middle of the 1970s a lot of work had already been completed but project was put on hold, and then abandoned completely after Sert died of lung cancer in 1983.</p><br>
<p>In the years following Sert’s death there have been many proposals and heated debates over what should be done with the half finished project. Many islanders consider the half constructed hotel a blight on an area of outstanding natural beauty while others see the project as an important piece of cultural heritage, since Sert has now been elevated to one of Catalonia&#39;s most acclaimed architects. In the year 2000 plans were drawn up to complete the complex in the style intended by Sert, for use as an exclusive tourist attraction and Thalassotherapy centre. These plans were also eventually abandoned, mainly due to the world banking crisis and the subsequent downturn in the island tourist economy.</p><br>
<p>The Church of the Sacred Heart at 110 3rd Ave., NE., in Freeport, Minnesota, United States, was built in 1905. It was designed by architects Parkinson & Dockendorff.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The parish was founded by a German community and was originally part of a parish in New Munich. The community in Freeport asked the Diocese of St. Cloud for a priest to form their own parish, so Father Simplicius Wimmer arrived in the community. The first church was a wood frame structure built in 1882, measuring 70 ft by 36 ft, with a rectory added in 1890. The parish outgrew this building and built a new one in 1896, which was a brick-veneered building measuring 154 ft by 66 ft and seating 1000 people. The second building was completed at a cost of $30,000. The original wood building was donated to the parish of St. Rose and moved 5 mi north.</p><br>
<p>The 1896 building was struck by lightning and destroyed by fire in 1904. The parish immediately organized a rebuilding effort, and even the priest pitched in. The third building was even larger and more ornate than the second building, with a total construction cost of $115,000 by the time it was finished in 1915. It required 38 boxcar loads of brick for its construction.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<p>The parish is now part of a cluster with Immaculate Conception in New Munich, Minnesota and St. Rose of Lima in St. Rosa, Minnesota.</p><br>
<p>Cala Xuclar  is a beach in the northern part of the Spanish island of Ibiza. It is in the municipality of Sant Joan de Labritja and is 3.8 mi north of the village of Sant Joan de Labritja, and 1.2 mi west of the beach resort of Portinatx.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The beach of Cala Xuclar is set in a very small cove surrounded by cliffs This is one of the best get-away-from-it-all beaches and at the water line there are some sea caves. From the cove there are walks along the cliffs paths through the pine woods that clad the cliff tops here. During July and August there is a small snack bar (chiringuito) which serves visitors a selection of locally-caught fish and tapas such as Alioli potatoes.</p><br>
<h3>Getting There</h3><br>
<p>Leave Portinatx on the C 733 road and after 1.1 mi watch out for the small signpost on the left just after the S Illot des Rencli bay. From here there is a very steep rutted dirt track down to the cove. There is very limited parking space available, which will get very full at the height of the season.</p><br>
<p>The Zurbrugg Mansion, which has also been known as The Columns, at 531 Delaware Avenue in Delanco Township, Burlington County, New Jersey, United States, was built in 1910. It was designed by architects Furness, Evans & Co. in Classical Revival style. Vacant for several years after being used as a nursing home, it was acquired by and subsequently listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009. The listing included two contributing buildings, a contributing structure, and a contributing object on 2.5 acre.</p><br>
<p>In 2010 the main building was renovated and re-opened as a 27-unit.</p><br>
<p>The vacant Carriage House was also renovated into a single family residence and sold to a private owner. The surrounding property has been subdivided and developed into, a luxury townhouse community.</p><br>
<p>It was a home of Swiss-born Theophilus Zurbrugg.</p><br>
<p>Lake Shōji is the one of the Fuji Five Lakes and located in southern Yamanashi Prefecture near Mount Fuji, Japan.</p><br>
<p>It is the smallest of the Fuji Five Lakes in terms of surface area, and third deepest, with a maximum water depth of 15.2 m. Its surface elevation of 900 m is the same as for Lake Motosu and Lake Sai, confirming that these three lakes were originally a single lake, which was divided by an enormous lava flow from Mount Fuji during an eruption from 864-868 AD. The remnants of the lava flow are now under the Aokigahara Jukai Forest, and there is evidence to indicate that these three lakes remain connected by underground waterways.</p><br>
<p>The lake is within the borders of the Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park.</p><br>
<p>As with the other Fuji Five Lakes, the area is a popular resort, with many lakeside hotels, windsurfing facilities, camp sites, and excursion boats. Japanese crucian carp and wakasagi were introduced to the lake in the Meiji period, and sports fishing is also popular. The water of the lake lacks transparency and has a tendency towards a greenish hue due to algae.</p><br>
<p>Cala Pada is a beach on the south east seaboard of the Spanish island of Ibiza. It is in the municipality of Santa Eulària des Riu and is 2.7 mi east of the town of Santa Eulària des Riu, and 1.9 mi south west of the beach resort of Es Canar.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Cala Pada beach is a broad sandy stretch of beach backed by a wood of pine and juniper trees. The offshore reefs protect the bay from the sea, making it popular with the island&#39;s windsurfers when the south wind blows. From the beach there are views to several small offshore islands including Illa de Santa Eulària, Illa Rodona and En Caragoler.</p><br>
<h3>Illa Rodona</h3><br>
<p>On 17 January 1913. a steamship called the SS Mallorca ran aground on a reef around Illa Rodona. The crew and passengers were rescued from the ship by the local fishermen of Santa Eulària des Riu. There is a stone memorial to commemorate the rescue in front of the Ajuntament (town hall) in the plaçe d&#39; Espanya, Santa Eulària des Riu.</p><br>
<p>The New Sweden School is a school located in the town of New Sweden, Idaho . It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991. The school was built in 1927 and is historically significant due to its association with the Swedish American immigrant communities of New Sweden and Riverview.</p><br>
<p>The school&#39;s period of significance was from 1925 to 1949, and the building had been used by the community until 1980. Since then, the property has been the target of significant vandalism. The Idaho Falls School District #91 declared the school as surplus property, and in 2012, accepted a bid for its sale to VanderSloot Farms for $121,000.</p><br>
<h2>Restoration of the New Sweden School</h2><br>
<p>The New Sweden School building has been restored with attention to preserving the history of the building. It is now a fully functioning charter school called American Heritage Charter School. Another school building has been added on to the original property.</p><br>
<p>The EDZ Irigary Bridge is a historic Pennsylvania truss bridge in southeastern Johnson County, Wyoming. The bridge was built in 1913 at Sussex, Wyoming, and moved in 1963 to Irigary Road. The bridge was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985 as part of a Multiple Property Submission devoted to historic bridges in Wyoming.</p><br>
<h2>Design</h2><br>
<p>The Pratt truss was invented in 1844 by Thomas and Caleb Pratt. A Pratt truss has vertical members and diagonals that slope down towards the center. The interior diagonals are under tension, and the vertical elements are under compression. The Pennsylvania truss is a variation on the Pratt truss. While the Pratt truss has braced diagonal members in all panels, the Pennsylvania truss has half-length struts or ties in the top, bottom, or both parts of the panels. The Pennsylvania truss is named after the Pennsylvania Railroad, which pioneered this design. The Pennsylvania truss was once used for hundreds of bridges in the United States but the design fell out of favor in the 1930s and only a few such bridges remain. The EDZ Irigary Bridge, with a span of 200 ft, has the longest clear span of any county bridge still in use in Wyoming, and is one of the most important historic bridges in Wyoming.</p><br>
<h2>Construction</h2><br>
<p>On February 4, 1913, Johnson County awarded the contract for this bridge over the Powder River at Sussex, Wyoming, about 20 mi east of Kaycee. The parts for the new bridge were fabricated by the Canton Bridge Company of Canton, Ohio. The bridge at Sussex replaced two earlier bridges at Powder River Crossing, located about 6 mi to the north.</p><br>
<p>The small community of Sussex, Wyoming grew up around the bridge, and the Sussex Post Office and Store was built the following year in 1914. The Black and Yellow Trail was established in 1915, and it crossed the Powder River using the new bridge, until the trail was rerouted through Arvada, Wyoming to the north a few years later. The road at Sussex eventually became Wyoming Highway 192.</p><br>
<p>In 1963, a new concrete bridge was built about 200 yd upstream from the EDZ Irigary Bridge. The old steel bridge was moved by the Etlin Construction Company of Casper, Wyoming. The bridge now crosses the Powder River 18 mi downstream from Sussex on Johnson County Road 172 (Irigary Road).</p><br>
<p>Gjesværstappan is a group of high, steep-sided, grass-covered islands which are located north of the village of Gjesvær in Nordkapp Municipality in Finnmark county, Norway. The three main islands are Storstappen, Kjerkestappen, and Bukkstappen.</p><br>
<p>Storstappan rises to a height of 283 m above sea level and has a peninsula called Stauren that rises to 165 m. Kjerkestappen rises to an elevation of 166 m above sea level and Bukkstappen rises to 92 m above sea level. Historically, there were people that lived on the islands and there was a church on Kjerkestappen.</p><br>
<h2>Nature reserve</h2><br>
<p>The islands contain a large colony of seabirds and have been designated a nature reserve since 1983. The land area of the reserve is 1.7 km&sup2, but the reserve also includes 5.5 km&sup2; of the sea surrounding the islands.</p><br>
<p>The largest colonies of cliff-breeding seabirds are mainly located on the bird cliffs of the biggest island, Storstappen, and between June 15 and August 15 visitors are not allowed to set foot on this island.</p><br>
<p>The colony is regarded as important because of the large numbers of birds. A 1988 survey found 70 pairs of Phalacrocorax carbo; around 50 pairs of Phalacrocorax aristotelis; 5000 to 10,000 pairs of Rissa tridactyla; about 600 pairs of Uria aalge; 25 pairs of Uria lomvia; about 2500 pairs of Alca torda; and about 50,000 pairs of Fratercula arctica. The 1988 survey also found Sula bassana nests.</p><br>

<p>Immanuel Evangelical Lutheran Church is a Lutheran church located in Boise, Idaho. The church was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 17, 1976.</p><br>
<p>The church was organized on January 22, 1906, as the Swedish Lutheran Church of the Augustana Synod. It was associated with the Augustana Evangelical Lutheran Church, a Lutheran church body founded by Swedish immigrants. The current church building was built in 1908 and was dedicated on September 22, 1915. Because the founders were Scandinavian, the church services were first held in the Swedish language. October 1, 1918, the church decided to change to the English language for church sermons, in an effort to appeal to Lutherans of other ethnic backgrounds. The last remaining tie to the founders&#39; Swedish heritage was severed in 1919, when the church changed its name to Boise Evangelical Lutheran Church. In the 1950s the church was renamed again as Immanuel Evangelical Lutheran Church. Immanuel Lutheran Church is part of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.</p><br>

<p>Temple Beth Israel, now known as Cutler-Plotkin Jewish Heritage Center, was the first permanent Jewish congregation in the vicinity of Phoenix, Arizona. The building was designed in 1920 by architects Lescher, Kibbey, and Mahoney in the style of a Spanish mission. Although Jewish houses of worship are usually aligned on an east–west axis, the Temple Beth Israel axis is north–south.</p><br>
<p>The congregation sold the property in 1949 to a Chinese-language Baptist Church, and later the building was occupied by a Spanish-language Baptist Church. In 2002, the property was purchased by the Arizona Jewish Historical Society and named for Rabbi Emeritus Albert Plotkin and donor Lawrence Cutler. After a 2008 restoration, the site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011 and was listed as one of the Phoenix Points of Pride.</p><br>
<p>Butler Bank is a historic bank building located in downtown Hood River, Oregon, United States, built during Hood Rivers second major phase of urban development. It was designed by Portland-based A. E. Doyle , one of the Pacific Northwests most celebrated architects of the early 20th century, during the later years of his career. It is one of only two commercial buildings he designed in the Columbia River Gorge region, and his only Egyptian Revival-style commission in Oregon. It was erected in 1924 for Butler Banking Company, which was led by Leslie Butler . Butler and his son Truman opened the Butler and Company Bank in 1900 as Hood Rivers first bank, and incorporated it as the Butler Banking Company in 1905. Despite early commercial success, it fell victim to the circumstances of the Great Depression and failed in 1932. The Butlers were regarded as blameless in the failure and continued as respected businessmen. In addition to his prominent role in business during the early years of Hood Rivers development, Leslie Butler was very active in voluntary and philanthropic activities throughout Oregon, especially in the area of public health.</p><br>
<p>The bank building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.</p><br>
<p>The Martin and Carrie Hill House, also known as The Gorge White House, is a historic residence located on rural orchard land near Hood River, Oregon, United States. It may be the finest and most ornate example of the Dutch Colonial Revival architectural style in the vicinity of Hood River, incorporating a large array of the distinctive features of the style. Characteristic elements include a gambrel roof, symmetric, rectilinear form, fanlights, dormers, dentils, balconies, window keystones, fluted columns, and others. The house also displays a very high degree of historic integrity on both the exterior and interior, with only minor alterations since its construction in 1910. Martin Hill  and his orchard property surrounding the house were prominent in the development of the apple industry in the Hood River Valley. He was active in business and community affairs, including service as a Hood River County Commissioner and Oregon state legislator. He built this elaborate house in 1910, several years after purchasing his orchard land in 1901, in order to reconcile his wife Carrie  to their relocation from Iowa.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007. It was opened to the public as an agricultural tourism business that same year.</p><br>
<p>Færøsk Pakhus  is a small warehouse building located at Frederiksholm Canal, on Slotsholmen, in Copenhagen, Denmark. It is now used by the Ministry of Education.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Faroese Warehouse was originally located on the other side of Frederiksholm Canal. It was used for trade with the Faroe Islands. However, Christian IV&#39;s Brewhouse on Slotsholmen was hit by fire in 1767 and due to its proximity to Copenhagen Castle, the royal residence, fear of future fires prompted the decision to move the royal brewery to the far side of the canal. Faroese Warehouse was then moved to its current location next to the old brewhouse which was rebuilt and put to other use. The new building was completed in 1772.</p><br>
<h2>Current use</h2><br>
<p>The building now contains meeting rooms used by the Ministry of Education, based in nearby Staldmestergården, and the Ministry of Transportation.</p><br>
<p>Platja des Niu Blau is a beach in the south east seaboard of the Spanish island of Ibiza. It is in the municipality of Santa Eulària des Riu and is 1.4 mi east of the town of Santa Eulària des Riu, and 2.0 mi west of the beach resort of Es Canar.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Platja des Niu Blau is a small beach in a cove on the eastern outskirts of the town of Santa Eulària des Riu. The beach has a backdrop of pine trees and the water is shallow clear. The cove is at the mouth of the seasonal river called Torrent d&#39;Arabí. The name Niu Blau means Blue Nest and derives from the name of a small house which stood on this bay in the 1930s.</p><br>
<h2>The Blue Nest</h2><br>
<p>Niu Blau or Blue Nest was a small dwelling built on the cove by the Valencian impressionist artist Rigoberto Soler for himself and Pilar, who was his girlfriend and model. Soler painted many works featuring the landscape around Santa Eulària des Riu its environment.</p><br>
<p>Mousiotitsa  or Kato Mousiotitsa  is a village located in the Ioannina regional unit in the Epirus region  of western Greece. Situated 33 km south of the city of Ioannina  near the springs of the river Louros , the village consists of 4 areas: Kato Mousiotitsa , Ano Mousiotitsa , Nea Mousiotitsa  and Mesoura . It is surrounded by 5 mountains: Bitera , Spithari , Pourizi , Kalogeritsa  and Katafi .</p><br>
<p>The village has a permanent population of around 605 (2011 census), however, in the summer months the numbers can soar past 1000 as expatriates return from abroad (e.g. Sweden, Germany, USA, Canada) and from Athens and other larger cities.</p><br>
<p>As of 2011 the village belongs to the municipality of Dodoni (Δωδώνη) after the merger of its previous municipal unit Agios Dimitrios (Άγιος Δημήτριος) with three other units.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Origin and etymology of name</h3><br>
<p>The true origin of the name Mousiotitsa (Μουσιωτίτσα) is unknown. It has been speculated by scholars that the name may be of Slavic origin due to its conspicuous ending of "itsa" - a common occurrence in Slavic settlement names. Other more local theories suggest the name is derived from old myths of ancient river dwellers known as "Mouses" (Mούσες) or from a queen who resided in what is now the ruins of a castle dating back to the 3rd century AD.</p><br>
<h3>Initial settlement</h3><br>
<p>It is widely regarded to have been settled in the early 18th century. The old St Nicholas church is first mentioned in the Greek church archives in the year 1791. Its first inhabitants are believed to have been Klephts (κλέφτες) and other refugees fleeing from Ottoman oppression or persecution. The shape of its geographical surroundings shielded the village and its inhabitants from view, thus providing a safe place to dwell. The village is believed to have belonged to the group of villages that made up the Souli (Σούλι) mountain settlements. Several facts support this belief, such as local names resembling Souliot names, as well as widespread knowledge of Arvanitika (αρβανίτικα) among village elders.</p><br>
<h3>World War II Massacre</h3><br>
<p>On July 25, 1943, followed by 27 August 1943, German SS troops entered the village and executed a total of 153 civilians. The attack and resulting massacre was a retaliation by the Nazi German troops against alleged resistance activity in the village, and that it had supported a deadly attack on a German officer in the nearby area of Zita.</p><br>
<p>Leland Stanford Winery was a winery located in the Santa Clara Valley AVA, in Fremont, California, United States. The winery was founded by Leland Stanford in 1869. The vineyard was planted by Stanford&#39;s brother, Josiah Stanford. Today, the winery is owned by Weibel Champagne Vineyards. It is a California Historical Landmark.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The location of the Leland Stanford Winery was on the former Rancho Agua Caliente, an 1836 Mexican land grant in Alta California. The name means "warm water" and refers to the warm springs located in the foothills.</p><br>
<p>In 1850, Clement Columbet bought a large parcel, and opened the Warm Springs Hotel, a resort for wealthy San Francisco Bay Area residents during the 1850s through 1860s. It was destroyed in the 1868 Hayward earthquake.</p><br>
<p>In 1869 Leland Stanford purchased its site and 100 acres, and founded a winery. Stanford&#39;s brother, Josiah Stanford, served as vineyard manager. He planted the vines and managed the winery. In 1893, Josiah Stanford inherited the winery from his brother.</p><br>
<p>Despite success, the vineyard was victim to phylloxera. It also experienced two major earthquakes, including the 1906 San Francisco earthquake.</p><br>
<p>The winery was purchased and renamed Weibel Champagne Vineyards in 1945.</p><br>
<h2>Wine production</h2><br>
<p>By 1893, Leland Stanford Winery was producing 320,000 gallons of wine. They were the first winery in California to make sparkling wine.</p><br>
<h2>Other products</h2><br>
<p>The property also had an orchard and produced hay and beef. They also had lemon trees.</p><br>

<p>The Brow Monument is a monument listed in the National Register of Historic Places for Coconino County, Arizona, located in the Kaibab National Forest. The site contains one of the few remaining survey markers used by the expedition of John Wesley Powell in 1872 It is accessible via the Brow Monument Trail.</p><br>
<h2>Brow Monument</h2><br>
<p>The Brow Monument is listed in the National Register of Historic Places for Coconino County, Arizona. They were a key component in being able to calculate distances and topography in the early West by using a baseline and these triangulation points. The baseline for this survey was first laid out near the present-day towns of Fredonia, Arizona, and Kanab, Utah, some 30 miles north of the Brow marker. The survey markers were and continue to this day to also be referred to as "monuments", thus the term "Brow Monument" both defines the physical marker and represents a memorial for the expedition.</p><br>
<p>The surveying expedition commenced in February 1872 from Kanab, Utah and its base was at the Big Springs, Arizona homestead of Levi Stewart, a pioneer farmer. The first marker at what is today Brow Monument was set at this time. The original markers for this and other surveying expeditions were usually a large pyramid of stones, sometimes a blazed tree, a marked rock, or stacked or cribbed logs, with a red-and-white flag high above to facilitate telescope readings from considerable distances. Combined with information from barometric readings which established elevation above sea level, topographic maps could be drawn. The survey was completed in August of that year. In 1878, G. K. Gilbert, a member of the original surveying team, returned to the area to structurally improve the marker by constructing a wooden crib to support it.</p><br>
<p>The measurements for the marker were remarkably accurate considering the technology of the time and the rough terrain in which the survey was conducted.</p><br>
<p>In 1933, a new monument was erected approximately 300 feet uphill from the original site by the USA Geological Survey. This new monument is now the official marker to be used in surveying. There is a brass cap survey marker at this new location. The original marker remains undisturbed except for the addition of a memorial plaque.</p><br>
<p>The historic significance of Brow Monument was officially recognized when it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 13, 1987.</p><br>
<p>Brow Monument is mentioned on two maps; the topographic map located in the lobby of the North Kaibab National Forest visitor center in Jacob Lake, Arizona and in the National Forest Service "Kaibab National Forest North Kaibab Ranger District" map.</p><br>
<h2>Brow Monument Trail</h2><br>
<p>Brow Monument is reachable by foot via the Brow Monument Trail. The trailhead is located within the Kaibab National Forest and can be accessed by two-wheel drive passenger cars (in good weather) although high clearance four-wheel drive vehicles are recommended because of deep ruts and tree-fall on Forest Service roads. Access to the site can be limited in late fall to early spring because of heavy snowfall. The trailhead is shown on the NFS map with directions indicated by signage. From Arizona State Route 67, the trailhead is reached by driving from the Demotte Campground turnoff to Forest Service Road 22 sixteen miles north to Service Road 477, then a quarter-mile west to FS Road 252; after a half-mile FS Road 252 reaches FS Road 252c, which runs one and a half miles to the trailhead (36&deg; latitude, 35.002&deg; longitude). The trail itself is marked approximately every 200 feet and there is informational signage also along the open ridge walk (see "Gallery" below). The trail is posted as being two miles long, requiring approximately 30 minutes to walk to the Monument (36&deg; latitude, 35.457&deg; longitude) at an average pace.</p><br>
<p>There are a number of National Forest Service signposts along the Brow Monument Trail.</p><br>
<p>Archaies Kleones  is a settlement in the municipality of Nemea, Corinthia, Greece with a population of 1092 residents according to 2011 census. It is situated on a hillside, 8 km east of Nemea and 14 km  southwest of Corinth.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Archaies Kleones was named after the ancient town Cleonae (Κλεωναί). It was a city of ancient Argolis, situated on the road from Argos to Corinth. Cleonae was a small town, mainly known for the Nemean Games that took place in its territory. According to mythology, Heracles killed the brothers Eurytus and Cteatus near Cleonae.</p><br>
<h2>Wine region</h2><br>
<p>Archaies Kleones settlement is located in the Peloponnese in the area of Nemea, approximately 14 kilometers southwest of Corinth. Today, the appellation of Nemea is the most important red wine AOC of southern Greece and arguably of all of Greece. In the region of Nemea, the indigenous Greek Agiorgitiko grape is used and produces wines famous for their deep red color with violet and blue hues, complex aroma and long, velvety palate.</p><br>
<p>Qaummaarviit Territorial Park  is located 12 km west of Iqaluit in the Qikiqtaaluk Region of Nunavut, Canada. Situated on a small island near Peterhead Inlet, it is thought that the island was inhabited by the Thule people in the early part of the 13th century.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The area was one of great wildlife diversity which may have attracted the normally marine mammal hunting Thule. The island would have helped them ensure a more stable lifestyle with access to alternate food sources. Although it is estimated that population did not exceed 25 people on the island at a time, more than 3,000 tools and 20,000 bones have been found. The area shows evidence of at least 11 sod houses and there are stone rings and tent remains, which indicates that the island was used both in summer and winter. Although there are few remains today the large number of seal and whale bones suggest that the inhabitants used umiaks and qajaq. In 1860 when Charles Francis Hall visited the area his Inuit guides were able to harvest a large amount of food from there.</p><br>
<h2>Getting there</h2><br>
<p>The island is accessible from Iqaluit by boat in the summer and by snowmobile, dog sled or skis in the winter. Due to the historic nature of the park camping is not permitted.</p><br>
<p>Astafjorden is a fjord  in Troms county, Norway. It flows through the municipalities of Salangen, Gratangen, Ibestad, and Skånland. The 30 km long fjord flows from the Salangen fjord in the east to the Vågsfjorden in the west. The 3.5 km wide fjord separates the islands of Andørja and Rolla from the mainland. There are several small fjords that branch off this fjord including: Lavangen, Gratangen, Grovfjorden, and Salangen.</p><br>
<h2>Name</h2><br>
<p>The fjord (and the former municipality of Astafjord) were named after the old Ånstad farm (Old Norse: Arnastaðafjǫrðr). The first element of the old name comes from the male name Arna or "Arne", the second element staða means "home" or "farm", and the last element fjǫrðr is identical with the word for "fjord". Thus, the fjord by Arne&#39;s farm.</p><br>
<p>Deacon Andrew Hetfield House, also known as the Hetfield House or the Dutch Oven House, is a historical house in Mountainside, Union County, New Jersey, United States. It was built around 1763 by Deacon Andrew Hetfield, who was a Presbyterian deacon in Westfield. The Hetfield House was nicknamed "the Dutch Oven House" during its stint as an antique store during the 1930s-1980s.</p><br>
<p>The house has been moved twice: once to shift it 50 feet back when they were widening the nearby highway, and a second relocation in 1985 to save it from bulldozing. Reportedly, the house suffered minimal structural damage from the second move (one windowpane was lost).</p><br>
<p>The Hetfield House has been expanded over the years; as of 1830, the simple colonial farmhouse had been transformed “into a center-hall Georgian residence” (New Jersey Historical Commission, p. 24).</p><br>
<p>Meinig Glove Factory-E. Richard Meinig, Co., also known as Ellmar Mills, was a historic factory complex and national historic district located in Reading, Berks County, Pennsylvania.

Building A was a four-story, "L"-shaped building, with a seven-story section. Building Bwas a two-story, rectangular building measuring 130 feet by 25 feet. Building C was a one-story building measuring 190 feet by 55 feet, and Building D was a four-story, with basement, building measuring 45 feet by 118 feet. The buildings were demolished by 2011.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. It is located in the Queen Anne Historic District.</p><br>
<p>The Ellerbusch Site  is a small but significant archaeological site in the southwestern part of the USA state of Indiana. Unlike many sites created by people of the same culture, it occupies an upland site near a major river floodplain. Its existence appears to have been the result of the coincidence of periods of peace and growth in the related Angel Site, which led some townspeople to leave their homes for new villages that were more convenient for resource gathering. Researched partly because of its small size, Ellerbusch has produced information that greatly increases present awareness of other small sites and of its culture&#39;s overall patterns of settlement in the region. Because of its archaeological value, the site was declared a historic site in the late twentieth century.</p><br>
<h2>Environment</h2><br>
<p>The immediate vicinity is known to be archaeologically rich; although a cursory survey in 1954 failed to find Ellerbusch and revealed nothing in any other part of section 33 of Ohio Township, it revealed four substantial sites in adjacent sections, including a village on the riverbank about 0.5 mi to the southwest of where Ellerbusch was later discovered.</p><br>
<h2>Excavation</h2><br>
<p>The first excavations at the site were undertaken by the Ellerbusch family, who owned the property, working with their neighbors George and Francis Martin of the Glenn Black Laboratory of Archaeology at Indiana University in Bloomington. The Martins arranged for the aid of an IU graduate student in the early excavations, and with his help they revealed the site of one house, part of another, and a pit with decorated potsherds in the summer of 1957; this initial excavation was published in the following year. Comparatively little was done in 1958 and 1959, and no further work was performed except for a very limited excavation in 1962.</p><br>
<p>In June 1973, IU doctoral student Thomas J. Green began to study the possibility of renewing work at the now-overgrown Ellerbusch Site, Moreover, the excavation of a small site was deemed necessary for a broader awareness of typical Mississippian settlement patterns, because scholars concentration on large sites meant that nothing more than hypotheses could be offered to understand relationships between such centers and the small outlying sites surrounding them. Besides the work done by the owners, Greens reasons for choosing Ellerbusch included its upland location beside a lake, its proximity to Angel, the fact that virtually everything collected from the site was owned by the property owners (thus permitting a unified collection of artifacts, in contrast to the dispersion of artifacts among many collections that is typical of such sites), and the evidence from previous work that the houses had not been rebuilt numerous times as they had at Angel.</p><br>
<h2>Artifacts recovered</h2><br>
<h3>Early excavations</h3><br>
<p>The initial excavations by the Ellerbusches and Martins revealed 129 sherds — 41 clay-tempered sandy pieces, 61 cord-marked, 18 plain, and 9 small decorated pieces that could not easily be classified — 23 stone tools, most of which were knives, and occasional pieces of mica and cannel coal. Based on the pottery that they found, Frances Martin proposed that the site originated primarily during the Middle Woodland period in an occupation influenced by Hopewellian peoples, and she saw certain elements of the pottery as linking the site to the Swift Creek culture that was based in Georgia.</p><br>
<h3>Pottery</h3><br>
<p>Green&#39;s excavation demonstrated that all artifacts not found on the surface were located in the plow zone or in features such as pits. However, excavations through 1977 yielded 3,466 sherds of pottery, including 582 from the Woodland period, and 2,884 shards that were attributable to the Angel Phase; over 98% of them are shell-tempered without decoration. This is comparable to the pottery found at Angel, where less than one percent of the many thousands of pieces of pottery bore ornamental ceramic elements. Conversely, while many of the decorated remnant of Angel sherds bear either a red film or negative painting, the same is true of just six pieces of Ellerbusch pottery. Most sherds found at the site were small; of the 151 pieces of shell-tempered pottery, only 19 were large enough for the excavation team to determine the shape of the pottery from which the sherds came. As a result, the number of pottery objects originally present at the site could not be estimated reliably; most comparable sites yield larger sherds with fewer fractures, although as a high proportion of Ellerbusch sherds were found in or above the plow zone, their small size is comparable to sherds found in the upper levels at Angel, which typically had been broken into smaller pieces by repeated plowing.</p><br>
<h3>Lithics</h3><br>
<p>Virtually all of the non-pottery artifacts recovered at Ellerbusch through 1977 were stone tools or pieces thereof; Green reports that 3,907 stone artifacts (out of a total of 7,379) were found at the site. Unfortunately, more than five out of every six were recovered by surface collection instead of excavation, demonstrating the substantial amount of damage done by plowing and natural erosion. More than 3,800 of the stone artifacts were chipped stone (either cores or smaller pieces), and three of every four chips were lithic flakes without any sign of modification after creation. Another 124 pieces were projectile points of a wide range of forms, as well as 164 items that appear to be fragments of other points. Other forms of identifiable chipped-stone tools recovered at Ellerbusch include knives, drills, scrapers, one shredder (a tool similar to a scraper, but used for tearing instead of scraping), and numerous flakes with signs of having once been parts of hoes. Ground stone artifacts were observed of types such as pestles, nutting stones, and hammerstones, as well as miscellaneous objects such as pieces of two Woodland gorgets, a single copper bead, and a small pipe of a form frequently found at Angel and similar Mississippian sites.</p><br>
<h3>Houses</h3><br>
<p>Among the portions of the site excavated in 1973 was the house that the Ellerbusches had revealed. The superimposition of certain features demonstrated that two houses had occupied the site, with one seemingly having been built immediately after the others destruction; both were approximately the same size (22 by by 19 ft) and were oriented in the same direction. Both houses appear to have relied on the structural support of vertical posts and supports located in wall trenches; only one pit (which appears to have been a hearth) was found in a house at the site. Another house site excavated in 1973 had been the site of three or four different houses in turn; besides its own postholes, the second house site is associated with ten nearby pits and a pile of stone chips of a type of chert comparable to what is commonly found in Harrison County to the east. Rather than being identical in form, the houses were either of two or three different types, and because no useful distinction between house types appears to have existed, it seems that the different types of houses were constructed at different times. Partial remains of other structures, including two other houses, remained at the site, but plowing had greatly reduced the amount of area with surviving features from these structures. All of the houses were generally rectangular in shape, with the sides being built first and the corners either being filled in later without support posts or left open as doorways; none of the sides of any of the houses showed openings that were likely to have been doorways. The presence of houses is the primary basis for Greens argument that Ellerbusch was a farming hamlet instead of a processing center for hunters: stone tools found at the site could have been used for animal processing, but the construction of houses at a site just a few miles away from Angel would have represented wasted effort for wide-roaming hunters but a worthwhile investment of time for sedentary farmers.</p><br>
<h3>Other</h3><br>
<p>A group of small pits was found at the site; while they could have been used for storage, these pits&#39; small size likely precludes any purpose for them aside from refuse holes. Unusually for a Mississippian site, the houses appear to have been built simply on the surface of the ground; Ellerbusch shows no evidence of the common Mississippian practice of building houses on a specially prepared floor below the surface of the ground. The usefulness of the site for research purposes was hindered by a combination of two factors: because the site sits atop a hill, erosion from rainwater and modern plowing had destroyed most of its context by mixing artifacts from different periods, and because the soil was strongly acidic, one bone was the only significant survivor of all animal materials that had once been located at the site.</p><br>
<h2>Conclusions</h2><br>
<h3>Relationships with Angel</h3><br>
<p>Ellerbusch&#39;s location near the Ohio River is typical of Angel Phase communities, which commonly occupied terraces above the floodplain of the Ohio or of other rivers. The inhabitants appear to have favored floodplains partly because of their productivity: uplands are more susceptible to erosion and tend to dry out more rapidly, and without the use of crop rotation or modern fertilizers, upland fields would be depleted in just a few growing seasons. Moreover, people of the Angel Phase typically used wood as fuel, and residents of a floodplain can find wood more easily than upland peoples by utilizing driftwood. Furthermore, riverside villagers have easier access to water for drinking and washing, and they could supplement their diet by fishing and hunting animals that came to drink at the river, rather than depending solely on the chase. While the Angel Site was the premier settlement of the region, hamlets such as Ellerbusch were established for the sake of efficiency: had everyone lived at Angel, the time spent each day walking to distant fields would have been excessive, but by establishing villages amidst the fields, the people were able to use their time far more efficiently. Moreover, the upland area immediately surrounding the site was suitable for short-term cultivation, as Alford loess soil is easily cultivated and can be as fertile as floodplains. It seems that warfare was the only restraint on the further spread of Ellerbusch-type sites to a greater distance — because they were frequently in conflict with other peoples, the Angel Phase population needed to be able to take refuge at the stockaded Angel Site instead of remaining at defenseless small villages. Consequently, Ellerbusch and related sites were more intensively occupied during what appear to have been periods of peace. While excavations at Ellerbusch could not be used to provide a conclusive interpretation of certain features at Angel, they permitted a better understanding of yet smaller sites.</p><br>
<h3>Dating and classification</h3><br>
<p>Two radiocarbon dates were realized for the site, placing the Mississippian occupation at points between AD 200-320 and 990-1110. While Green stated that the first was plainly an error, the second he saw as disputable: it seemed somewhat early but was comparable to other early Mississippian sites in the region. Later authors, including Green himself, have seen the third-century result as evidence for a Woodland period occupation of the site, rather than as an erroneous reading.</p><br>
<p>Green calls Ellerbusch a hamlet, a classification that he assigns to Angel sites with:</p><br>
<p>Sizes between 0.5 acre and 1 acre</p><br>
<p>Only a small number of artifacts on the surface</p><br>
<p>Remains of houses</p><br>
<p>Evidence of activities such as hunting, farming, and gathering</p><br>
<p>An estimated population of ten to twenty-five people</p><br>
<p>Having defined Ellerbusch as a hamlet, he determined its population and used the resulting figure as his basis for estimating the population of other hamlets. Previous studies proposed that households at the cultures sites averaged five members, and evidence at Ellerbusch suggests that only two or three of its four houses were used at any given time. Because such a figure yields ten or fifteen residents in the sites ½-acre area, slightly larger populations have been proposed for hamlets with twice the area. Likewise, a hamlet&#39;s lack of extensive occupation (resulting in little cultural material on the surface) was defined from the small influence that its residents exercised on the surrounding terrain. Out of sixty-eight Angel Phase sites that were known in 1977, Green classified six as hamlets.</p><br>
<h2>Recognition</h2><br>
<p>In early 1991, the Ellerbusch Site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places because of its significance as an important archaeological site. It is one of three Warrick County archaeological sites on the Register, along with a small part of the Angel Site and the entirety of the Yankeetown Site, located along the Ohio River to the southeast.</p><br>
<p>The Patrick Henry Building is a historic building located in Richmond, Virginia. Formerly designated simply as the Old State Library or the Virginia State Library and Archives and Virginia Supreme Court, it was renovated, then rededicated and renamed for the founding father and former Virginia Governor Patrick Henry on June 13, 2005.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The limestone-sheathed steel-core building was built in a modernist style for government buildings sometimes called Art-Deco or Stripped Classicism. The minimal exterior ornamentation was intended to direct attention to the nearby Virginia State Capitol. The two main entrances refer to its original two functions, as do the quotations from famous Virginians inscribed on the four sides (all-caps removed; periods for original colons):</p><br>
<p>The judicial department comes home in its effects to every mans fireside. It passes on his property his reputation his life his all. John Marshall (north elevation)</p><br>
<p>Liberty and learning: both best supported when leaning on each other. James Madison (east elevation)</p><br>
<p>Reason and free inquiry are the only effectual agents against error. They are the natural enemies of error and of error only. Thomas Jefferson (south elevation)</p><br>
<p>A knowledge of books is the basis upon which other knowledge is to be built. George Washington (west elevation)</p><br>
<p>The extensive 2003-2005 renovation retained the original entrances and many inside details (such as wood paneling, marble features and copper light fixtures), but modernized the plumbing, HVAC and electrical systems (removing hazardous materials). It also replaced the library stacks which had served as supportive core for the steel-frame building with modern core amenities. Some elements of the building&#39;s expansion in 1970 were also removed.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Constructed by the Works Progress Administration during the New Deal, the building served as the home of the Virginia Supreme Court (formerly known as the Supreme Court of Appeals per the inscription above the Broad Street entrance) until it moved to the renovated former Federal Reserve Building in 1978. The entrance facing the Capitol refers to the Virginia State Library, now known as the Library of Virginia, which moved to a new building at Ninth and Broad Streets (as well as an offsite storage annex) in 1996. The Supreme Court and Library had moved from the Virginia State Library-Oliver Hill Building in 1939. This building&#39;s former reading rooms also temporarily housed Virginia General Assembly sessions in 2006 and 2007, during renovations to the Capitol.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2005, under its former name.</p><br>
<h3>Historical marker</h3><br>
<p>In 2017, the Virginia Department of Historic Resources dedicated a state historical marker outside the building. It tells the story of Richard and Mildred Loving, the plaintiffs in the 1967 Supreme Court case Loving v. Virginia which overturned Virginias law against interracial marriage. The building was chosen as the site of the marker because it housed the Supreme Court of Appeals, where the Lovings case was heard.</p><br>
<p>The marker reads:</p><br>
<h2>Current use</h2><br>
<p>The building now houses the Governor&#39;s Working Office, offices of Cabinet Secretaries, Offices of the Department of Planning and Budget, and some DGS offices.</p><br>
<p>The Howland Chapel School is a historic school building for African-American students located near Heathsville, Northumberland County, Virginia. It was built in 1867, and is a one-story, gable fronted frame building measuring approximately 26 feet by 40 feet. It features board-and-batten siding and distinctive bargeboards with dentil soffits. The interior has a single room divided by a later central partition formed by sliding, removable doors. The building is a rare, little-altered Reconstruction-era schoolhouse built to serve the children of former slaves. Its construction was funded by New York educator, reformer and philanthropist Emily Howland , for whom the building is named. It was used as a schoolhouse until 1958, and serves as a museum, community center and adult-education facility.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<p>Gratangen  is a fjord in the municipality of Gratangen in Troms county, Norway. The 23 km long fjord is an arm off of the main Astafjorden. The municipality of Gratangen surrounds the fjord and is named after the fjord. The fjord is about 1 to 2 km wide, except for a very narrow 350 m wide point in the middle of the fjord where the village of Årstein is located. At that point, the Årstein Bridge on Norwegian County Road 825 crosses the fjord.</p><br>
<p>The villages of Fjordbotn and Elvenes are located at the innermost part of the fjord. Årstein, Åkeneset, and Foldvik are located along the central part of the fjord. Myrlandshaugen and Hilleshamn are located at the mouth of the fjord. The European route E06 highway passes about 2 km southeast of Fjordbotn and Elvenes.</p><br>
<p>The Palace Theater at 210 N. Main St. in Crossville, Tennessee is a historic movie theater built in the 1930s.</p><br>
<p>The building design embodies the Art Deco and Moderne styles. The exterior is faced with Crab Orchard stone laid in patterns characteristic of Art Deco. The neon-illuminated marquee and bulls-eye wall sconces in the interior are other characteristic elements of these styles. The auditorium seated about 600 people.</p><br>
<p>The Palace Theater opened in November 1938 with a screening of If I Were King, featuring Ronald Colman. It operated as a first-run theater until the 1970s, but closed in 1978 when a new two-screen theater opened in Crossville. The building was vacant for many years, while its physical condition deteriorated.</p><br>
<p>The Palace was among the movie theaters featured in the 1987 book Great American Movie Theaters by architectural historian David Naylor. A subsequent citizen campaign for its preservation led to the city of Crossville purchasing the building in 1993. The theater building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994 and was later restored with public financial support. It now serves as a multipurpose community auditorium.</p><br>
<h2>Present state</h2><br>
<p>Today, the theatre continues its role in the community. Concerts, art exhibits, school performances, and private rentals keep the old building active. The neon marquee continues to shine a welcome invitation to step back in time.</p><br>
<p>The Palace Theater is a historic movie palace in downtown Canton, Ohio, United States. Constructed during the heyday of the movie palace in the 1920s, it has been named a historic site.</p><br>
<p>Designed by John Eberson, a prominent architect specializing in movie palaces, the Palace is an atmospheric theater that opened in November 1926. Money for its construction was donated by a Canton industrialist, Harry Ink, whose firm became prosperous by producing "Tonseline", a medication for sore throats; the Tonseline logo was a giraffe with a bandaged throat, and such a giraffe was included in the interior design. In its early years, the Palace hosted a wide range of events: besides ordinary films, it hosted vaudeville performances and other stage productions, and numerous community events at the Palace placed it at the center of Canton society.</p><br>
<p>Built of brick with elements of terracotta, the Palace is a rectangular Churrigueresque building with a garden-themed main auditorium; its ceiling features elements designed to convey the sense of night and dawn, together with numerous stars, and the auditorium has a capacity of 1,509. The facade is divided into sections of varying width, two on each side of a vertical sign rising above the rest of the building; all sections rise to numerous pinnacles. A central marquee shelters the zone under the vertical sign and beneath the two sections adjacent to the sign. Windows are placed near the base of the two sections on the sides of the facade.</p><br>
<p>The Palace was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979, qualifying both because of its architecture and because of its place in community history. Its historic status has been employed during events such as a 2012 fundraiser, during which its operators sought to raise more than $1 million to fund improvements to its utilities and its facade. Besides ordinary theater events, the Palace has hosted ghost hunters seeking the spirit of a young woman who was murdered in the theater in the 1930s.</p><br>
<p>The Littel-Lord Farmstead is located in Berkeley Heights, Union County, New Jersey, United States. It was built in 1760 and added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 7, 1979. It currently serves as the home and public museum of the Berkeley Heights Historical Society.</p><br>
<p>The farmhouse was built around 1760 by farmer and weaver Andrew Littel, who lived there with his wife and seven children. It was passed down through the Littel family until it was sold to the Lord family in 1867. Elizabeth Wemett of the Lord family sold the property to Berkeley Heights in 1975.</p><br>
<p>The farmstead property, all of which is owned by the township of Berkeley Heights, includes the main farmhouse, an adjacent Victorian annex in the Carpenter Gothic style (which served as a schoolhouse in the 1870s), a stone spring house, a summer kitchen, and 18 acres of farm and forest land.</p><br>
<p>The Lataband Pass or Kotal-e Lataband,  is a mountain pass connecting Afghanistan and Jalalabad on the way to Pakistan in the Karkacha hills between Seh Baba and Butkhak in the Hindukush Range. The name, Lataband, means Mountain of Rags as there was an old belief that people who hung bits of clothing on the bushes along the way, had their wishes granted.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Lataband Pass is a difficult and dangerous pass which was on the only road suitable for carriages or motor vehicles between Kabul and Jalalabad until the longer, but less precipitous route via the Khord Kabul was used by the Moghuls in the 16th century. An integral part of the ancient Silk Road, it was still in use until 1960, when the route via Tangi Gharu route was finally completed and paved. This new road reduced travel time between Kabul and the Pakistan border from two days to only a few hours. It was for many centuries an important link on the trade route between Central Asia and South Asia, and a strategic military location.</p><br>
<p>The village of Ak Bolak is located at the east end of the pass.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>"A military post was established at this point by the British during the Second Afghan War (1878-80), which was held by Colonel Hudson while Afghan forces held the nearby post of Sherpur. Hudson’s forces were surrounded but could communicate by heliograph in clear weather (an apparatus which used a movable mirror to reflect sunlight to signal to distant points). Colonel Hudson’s force at Lataband, together with troops stationed at the garrison at Jagdalak near the pass, fought against the Tezin Ghilzais who occupied the surrounding hills and eventually drove them off."</p><br>

<p>Duddo Five Stones is a stone circle north of Duddo in North Northumberland, approximately 4miles  South of the Scottish Border. The stones were known as the Four Stones until 1903, when the fifth stone was re-erected to improve the skyline. There were originally seven stones, the empty sockets of two stones being found on the western side during excavation in the 1890s.</p><br>
<p>The stones themselves are a soft sandstone and have become deeply fissured by natural weathering since erection in the Early Bronze Age approximately 4000 years ago</p><br>
<p>The site of the Duddo Stones offers panoramic views of the Cheviot Hills to the South and the Lammermuir Hills to the north</p><br>
<p>The circle is accessible via the B5364 road, through a gate and up a path. The stones are on private land with no formal right-of way, but the landowner has cleared a permissive path across the field to the stones. The location was the subject of an archeological investigation in 2008.</p><br>
<p>Sanga-Sanga is an island in the southwestern Philippines, part of the Sulu Archipelago between the Sulu Sea and Celebes Sea. It is sandwiched between Tawitawi Island to the east and Bangao Island to the south.</p><br>
<p>The island is subdivided into 11 barangays (Karungdong, Lakit-Lakit, Lato-Lato, Luuk Pandan, Malassa, Mandulan, Pagasinan, Pakias, Paniongan, Sanga-Sanga, and Tubig Basag), all belonging to the municipality of Bongao in the province of Tawi-Tawi.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>During World War II the island was a major stopover for the Japanese Navy. It was liberated by American forces on 2 April 1945, and used by American and Australian forces.</p><br>
<h2>Transportation</h2><br>
<p>Sanga-Sanga Airport, the main airport serving Tawi-Tawi province, is located on the island.</p><br>
<p>Imeros is a small village in the northeastern part of Greece . Imeros is located 1.5 km from the coastline of Thracian Sea. It belongs to the municipality of Maroneia-Sapes since 2011. Its population is 276 . During the summer, it attracts many tourists visiting its beautiful crystal clear beach, which is 1.5 km from the center square of Imeros. The people of Imeros are refugees from Thrace and Asia Minor who originally settled in the area in 1922. The population exchanges between Greece and Turkey. One of the main features of the village is an organization named the Environmental Information/Educational Centre. The main jobs in Imeros are farming, fishing, and trading.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>When Imeros first became a village, it was situated 500m west of its current location. After a small period of time, the village was relocated to its current location. The name Imeros is derived from the Turkish word imaret, which means "nursing home". The village is named Imeros because supposedly, before returning to Turkey, a Turkish governor was embraced by the hospitality and care that the people there gave him. Some years later the name was transformed into Imeros, a Greek mythological god.</p><br>
<h2>Role</h2><br>
<p>Imeros is an important geographical place, as it bonds the two regional units Xanthi and Evros. There is a coastal road that crosses through Imeros and during the summertime many vehicles pass through. Also, a National Observatory of Athens weather forecast station exists in Imeros.</p><br>
<h2>Agia Marina church</h2><br>
<p>The Agia Marina Church is situated 500m west of the village in the directions of the Lissos River. The church was built on 2 acres of land and includes a huge outdoor yard. The first Agia Marina Church was built in 1922 when the first settlers of Imeros arrived. A new church was built in the early 1980s and was finished in 1988. A holy picture of Santa Marina (Agia Marina) that was brought with the original settlers is located in the old church. It is under guard at all times. In 2003, the religious organization of Agia Marina of Imeros was established. With the establishment of this organization came a large number of renovations to the church. The fence around the church was replaced, outdoor lighting was installed, a Byzantine holy icon painting was added. On the grounds of the churchyard there exists a guesthouse, used in the summer for church events. The foundation of the guesthouse is in good condition thanks to the help of volunteers, which have also up kept the inside and outside of the church. Every year on July 16, the church hold festive events that bring many people to the area.</p><br>
<h2>Imeros beach and port</h2><br>
<p>Imeros Beach, located 1.5 km south of the village, is a main attraction in Imeros. There is 2 km of shoreline with crystal clear waters and a beautiful sandy beach. It is the nearest beach from Komotini, the capital of Rhodope unit. Imeros Beach is also the most popular beach after Fanari beach. A cultural association of young people from Imeros was established in 2012. Their goal was to develop and enhance the coastal area as well as the main attractions in the village. A small port is located some meters from the beach, where small fishing boats are typically anchored.</p><br>
<h2>Environmental-natural centre</h2><br>
<p>The Environmental-Natural Centre is located in the old primary school of Imeros. The ENC is visited by all ages of children and adults. The goal of the Environmental-Natural Centre is to educate and inform others about the flora and fauna of the area. This is especially pertinent because there are several water lands nearby. The ENC has been working on the local water lands since 2003. Apart from the environmental aspect, the Environmental-Natural Centre plans other events in the Mikros Diakosmos, a cultural place located on Imeros Beach. During July and August, theatrical plays take place which are visited by area schools. Orchestras have also performed there.</p><br>
<h2>Waterlands complex</h2><br>
<p>The surrounding area of Imeros is characterized by several wetlands varying in size. The wetlands have an important ecological role by providing home and food to waterbirds. Many bicycle tourists visit and take photos and footage each year of the wetlands of Imeros.</p><br>
<p>Milford Battlefield is situated in Overall, Virginia in Warren County and Page County, Virginia. It was the site of a battle on September 22–24 during the Valley Campaigns of 1864 in the American Civil War. The site is located on property now privately owned.</p><br>
<h2>The battle</h2><br>
<p>Of the several military engagements that took place at Milford (present-day Overall) during the War, the most significant occurred on September 22, 1864. This engagement is associated specifically with Union Maj. Gen. Philip Sheridans victory over Confederate Maj. Gen. Jubal Early at Winchester on September 19, Earlys retreat south up the Shenandoah Valley and Sheridans pursuit, and Earlys subsequent stand and defeat by Sheridan at Fisher’s Hill on September 21.</p><br>
<p>The action at Milford the following day occurred because Early had posted forces there to protect his right flank and rear at Fishers Hill (about a dozen miles northwest of Milford), and Federal troops en route to attack Early’s flank assaulted the forces at Milford. The Confederates held their ground, thereby preventing the flank attack. Meanwhile, in the principal action at Fishers Hill, Sheridan routed Early&#39;s army. The Milford engagement is considered locally significant.</p><br>
<p>Other actions occurred at or near Milford during the War. They included cavalry engagements on June 24, 1862, in early May 1864, and on October 25–26, 1864. In addition, Union and Confederate troops camped or bivouacked there at various times during the war.</p><br>
<h2>The site today</h2><br>
<p>Milford Battlefield contains about seven hundred acres of mostly hilly terrain between the South Fork of the Shenandoah River on the west and the Blue Ridge Mountains on the east. The site is privately owned.</p><br>
<p>At the time of the Civil War, the land was less wooded than at present, but apart from that the terrain is not much different. Recent signs of human activity on the landscape are mostly limited to a highway (USA Route 340), a railroad track, and some scattered dwellings and related structures that do not adversely affect the ability to understand the course of the engagements that occurred there during the war. The Page Valley narrows at Overall, which together with the turnpike made the site strategically important during the war. The site includes such battle-related contributing features as entrenchments and rifle pits. The battlefield district includes three contributing sites (the Overall House ruin, a historic cemetery, and a historic turnpike bridge abutment) and thirteen contributing structures (USA Route 340 which at the time was called the Luray and Front Royal Turnpike, one historic road trace, Overall House cistern, Overall House well, seven rifle pits, and two earthworks).</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>
