<p>The Wilder Homestead is located on Ashfield Road , 0.25 mi south of the Upper Road/Ashfield Road junction, in Buckland, Massachusetts. The property includes three buildings, two of which contribute to its significance. The house was built c. 1775, and is a fairly typical Georgian colonial two story house, in which the rear roof extends down to the first floor in saltbox fashion. A 19th century ell extends from the east side of the house. The house was built for Gardner Wilder, who had recently moved to the area, and had purchased 200 acre to farm.</p><br>
<p>The second contributing structure is a barn, whose construction was also begun by Gardner Wilder c. 1775. It was significantly enlarged with a full-height full-width extension in 1840, and a second extension, a 1.5 story equipment shed, was added in the 20th century. The oldest portion shows typical English colonial post and beam construction techniques, and its beams were axe-hewn, unlike those of the first addition, which show saw marks. The equipment shed was built using modern balloon framing methods.</p><br>
<p>The property remained in the hands of Gardner Wilder&#39;s descendants until 1981, when the homestead and a 58 acre parcel of land were donated to the Buckland Historical Society. The Society moved a 19th-century shoe shop to the property in 1991, and operates the site as a historic house museum. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.</p><br>
<p>Cap Blanca is a beach on the western seaboard of the Spanish island of Ibiza. The Beach has a good view of the rock island of Es Vedrà which lies a little of the coast here. The beach is in the municipality of Sant Josep de sa Talaia and is 13.3 mi west of the town of Ibiza town. The village of Sant Josep de sa Talaia is 7.0 mi east of the beach.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>This small pebbly beach is a difficult place to reach but the views of Es Vedrà are well worth the exertion to get there. The steep final descent path is difficult but there are ropes to help a steady descent, but great care is needed. The beach is backed by cliffs of Cap Blanca, behind which are the pine clad hillsides of the Serra de Ses Roques Altes and Sa Talaiassa, the highest peak on the island. This area of the island has protected status and encompasses the Cala d&#39;Hort Nature Reserve. As a result of this status there are no developments along this stretch of coast leaving an unspoilt and natural environment.</p><br>
<p>Lanterman House is a bungalow-style historic house museum in La Cañada Flintridge, California on the National Register of Historic Places. The house was commissioned by Dr. Roy Lanterman in 1915 and was built by A. L. Haley , who was a prominent builder of both residences and commercial buildings in the Los Angeles area.</p><br>
<p>Lanterman, who had treated victims of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire, insisted that the foundation, floors and walls of his house be built from reinforced concrete, and Haley interpreted the aesthetics of Craftsman-style wood-built bungalows in the new material. The house retains much of its original furniture and finishes, including a grand ballroom that occupies the entire second floor, and Dr. Lanterman&#39;s consulting rooms in the basement.</p><br>
<p>The property was opened as a museum in 1993 and is managed by the Lanterman Foundation. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994. It is home to the Lanterman House Archives, which contains family materials as well as documents and photographs from the defunct La Cañada Flintridge Historical Society.</p><br>
<p>The Lanterman House is open for tours most Tuesday and Thursday afternoons from 1 p.m. - 4 p.m. and the first and third Sundays of each month from 1 p.m. - 4 p.m. The Lanterman House History Center and Archive is available for public research by appointment. It is recommended that you call before visiting.</p><br>
<p>The Edward Steves Homestead is located in the Bexar County city of San Antonio in the USA state of Texas. It was designed by architect Alfred Giles and designated a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark. The main house was donated to the San Antonio Conservation Society in 1952. The organization completely restored the main house as a museum and now conducts daily tours. The complete homestead property consists of four individual structures: the main house museum, the carriage house, the river house, and the servants&#39; quarters. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places listings in Bexar County, Texas, as a contributing structure of the King William Historic District.</p><br>
<h2>Homestead property</h2><br>
<p>Alfred Giles, as an employ of John H. Kampmann, is credited with designing the main house. Locally quarried limestone was used in construction of the four-bedroom house. It was completed in 1877 for $15,000. In 1970, the house was listed as a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark. The house features a mansard roof and 13-inch-thick exterior walls. It was fairly modern for its time, with a telephone line, electric lighting and running water. The parlor doors in the house featured American-made etched glass panels.</p><br>
<p>The main house at the homestead was deeded to the San Antonio Conservation Society (SACS) in 1952 by the granddaughter of Edward Steves, Edna Steves Vaughan, and her husband Curtis Vaughan. SACS maintains the home as a museum and conducts daily tours. When SACS first approached Vaughan about purchasing the house, Vaughan offered to donate the house with the stipulation that the then-current residents be retained as caretakers. The grounds, exterior and interior of the French Second Empire style house were restored in 1954 as a museum with period furniture. When SACS did the restoration, Yale University donated an antique 1857 Chickering and Sons grand piano.</p><br>
<p>The property contains three buildings in addition to the main house. The carriage house predated the main house and all other structures on the property. Built in 1875, the frame and stone carriage house was restored in 1976–77. The servants quarters was erected in 1877 and restored in 1983–84. The one-story brick structure known as the river house once contained San Antonios first natatorium. When SACS restored the homesteads properties, they covered the river house pool with flooring and began using the structure for their activities.</p><br>
<h2>Edward Steves</h2><br>
<p>Edward Steves (1829–90) was a San Antonio city alderman who had relocated to Texas from his native Germany. He and his wife Johanna maintained a family home on rural acreage in Kendall County. He ran the successful Steves Lumber Company in San Antonio from 1866 to 1877. Steves was a civic leader in the San Antonio business community, serving on the Board of Trade, the Volunteer Fire Company No. 2 and the Fair Association. He was active in the city&#39;s German community organizations, such as the Schuetzen Verein, the Turnverein and the Casino Club.</p><br>
<h2>A Family Business</h2><br>
<p>Since 1866 when Edward Steves founded this company, the Steves family has always been involved. Today, five generations later, Steves & Sons continues with Edward Steves commitment to quality, craftsmanship and style. Edward Steves founded his company on the principles of conserving resources and environmental responsibility, while providing quality goods and service.</p><br>
<p>Hamtramck Stadium, also known as Roesink Stadium, is one of only 12 remaining Negro league baseball stadiums.).</p><br>
<h2>Background</h2><br>
<p>John A. Roesink moved to Detroit in 1900 and established a successful clothing store. Roesnick was an avid baseball fan, and sponsored a number of semi-pro team. In 1910, he built a substantial field, Mack Park, on the corner of Mack and Fairview in Detroit to house his teams. Mack Park had seating for perhaps 6,000 people.</p><br>
<p>In 1919, Rube Foster organized a number of baseball teams featuring black players in northern cities. The Detroit franchise, the Detroit Stars, was owned by Tenny Blount. The team rented Roesink&#39;s Mack Park for their games. The 1919 games were a success, so in 1920, Foster organized the Negro National League with nine teams, including the Stars. Initially, the league prospered, and in 1925 Roesink purchased the Stars.</p><br>
<p>The Stars continued to play at Mack Park.</p><br>
<h2>Hamtramck Stadium and Negro league baseball</h2><br>
<p>In the fall of 1929, Roesink began construction on a baseball park in Hamtramck to replace Mack Park. He leased land near the Grand Trunk Railroad tracks from the Detroit Lumber Company. The land was, at the time, an older portion of the Detroit Lumber Company&#39;s yard. Roesink spent an estimated $100,000 of his own money to construct the field and grandstands. The park opened in May 1930 for the start of the 1930 season; Roesink hired Ty Cobb to throw out the first pitch.</p><br>
<p>This was, however, the beginning of the Great Depression. Black fans, angry at Roesnick for the 1929 fire, boycotted the Stars, and Roesnick sold the team after the 1930 season to black racketeer Everitt Watson (although he retained ownership of the stadium). Hard times extended top the rest of the league, and in 1931, the Negro National League completed only half their season before folding.</p><br>
<p>In 1932, a new Negro league, the East-West League, was founded with the Detroit Wolves as the Detroit franchise. The Wolves played their home games in Hamtramck Stadium; however, the league and the Wolves quickly went bust. The Detroit Stars were reconstituted in 1933, also playing at Hamtramck Stadium, but lasted just one season. The fate of the park became an issue in 1935 when Gus Greenlee wanted to move the Nashville Elite Giants to Detroit; with no park available, the franchise wound up in Columbus, Ohio instead. Still, there was one more Negro League season at Hamtramck Stadium in 1937, when the Detroit Stars were again reconstituted. As before, the club folded after a single year.</p><br>
<h2>Other uses and post-1940 history</h2><br>
<p>As with most fields of the area, Hamtramck Stadium was available for rental for other sporting events or activities. The site hosted a number of high school baseball and football games, as well as, in 1934, a football game between Wilberforce University and West Virginia State University, two Historically black colleges and universities.</p><br>
<p>In the mid-1930s, the Works Progress Administration (WPA) constructed Keyworth Stadium near Hamtramck Stadium. In 1938 (and again in 1946) former lumber company acreage near the stadium was purchased and developed into baseball and softball diamonds, making the area into a recreational campus known as Recreational Park (now Veterans Park).</p><br>
<p>In 1940, the stadium was acquired by the city of Hamtramck. In 1941, the WPA, in partnership with the Wayne County Road Commission and the city of Hamtramck, renovated Veterans Park, including the Hamtramck Stadium. The project was jointly sponsored by the and the City. The total cost of the project was $200,000. It is uncertain what the 1941 renovation entailed, but it is certain that at least the steel frame of the grandstand is original.</p><br>
<p>After this renovation, the stadium was used by church leagues and leagues associated with the nearby Dodge Main plant. Hamtramck High School and teams from both St. Ladislaus High School and St. Florian High School also regularly used the field. Starting in 1953, the field was used by Hamtramcks Little League Baseball teams. Over the years, eleven Hamtramck teams in the various Little League divisions went to their divisions World Series, with two winning the title.</p><br>
<p>In 1955, concession and maintenance buildings were constructed along the field&#39;s third base line. In 1973, the grandstand was again renovated, where the roof, seating, and ramps of the grandstand were rebuilt. This renovation reduced the grandstand to approximately half of its original size. Additional renovations carried out in 1976 eliminated portions of the arms extending on each side of the grandstand.</p><br>
<p>However, as Dodge Main and the Catholic High Schools were closed, the usage of Hamtramck Stadium declined. Some time in the 1990s the grandstand was fenced off, and as of 2012 the structure has not been used since.</p><br>
<h2>Significance</h2><br>
<p>Hamtramck Stadium is one of only 12 remaining Negro League baseball stadiums. Of those 12, the majority hosted only occasional league games, and only Hinchliffe Stadium in Paterson, New Jersey and Rickwood Field in Birmingham, Alabama were in use longer than Hamtramck Stadium. At least 16 future members of the Hall of Fame played at Hamtramck Stadium, including Satchel Paige; Josh Gibson; Turkey Stearnes of the Detroit Stars; and Willie Wells, Cool Papa Bell, and Mule Suttles of the Detroit Wolves. The stadium was also the site of the deciding games of the 1930 Negro National League Championship Series, which the Detroit Stars eventually lost to the St. Louis Stars in seven games.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Hamtramck Stadium, as originally built, seated about 8,000 people in the concrete-and-steel grandstand. Most seats were on wooden benches, but a few box seats were separated from the rest by iron rails. Bleachers down the right-field line seat held about 1,000 more people. Later renovations reduced the grandstand to approximately half of its original size, and it now has a seating capacity of approximately 1,500.</p><br>
<p>The steel frame of the grandstand is original. Grandstand seating begins 6 ft off the ground, and is accessed via three concrete ramps. The wooden bleacher seats sit on wooden deckes, which are supported by steel I-beams. The I-beam structure continues above the bleachers, and supports a corrugated metal roof. Chain link fences behind the bleachers and atop the roof protected cars from foul balls. As of 2012, a fencing surrounded the grandstand to deter vandals. Although covered with graffiti, the structure is still in good shape.</p><br>
<p>The field has a relatively short distance to the left field fence from home plate (315 ft), contrasted with a deep right field (407 ft), and a substantial center field (515 ft). The outfield was surrounded by a twelve-foot high corrugated metal fence, a fairly unusual and expensive feature for its time. The fence has now been removed, but the field itself remains unobstructed. The pitcher&#39;s mound and flagpole remain from the original field.</p><br>
<p>Port d’es Torrent is in a small cove within the bay of Sant Antoni Bay. The beach is on the northern seaboard of the Spanish island of Ibiza. Although it is but a short distance from Sant Antoni, it is in the municipality of Sant Josep de sa Talaia. Platja d’es Torrent is 12.6 mi north west of Ibiza town, and 3.6 mi west around the bay from Sant Antoni. In 2012 Port d’es Torrent is one of the 12 blue flag beaches on the island.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>This small bay gets its name from the seasonal stream which originates on the slopes of Sa Talaiassa, the highest point on the islands, and runs down to its terminus in this small cove. Platja Port d’es Torrent is at the western end of the Bay of Sant Antoni. In the summer season, the beach is patrolled by lifeguards. The beach is made up of fine gold sand and slopes very gently into the shallow water at the head of this cove. The water at the mouth of the inlet is deeper and gives a good opportunity for diving and snorkelling.</p><br>
<p>The area around the Port d’es Torrent has a small amount of developed to the back of the beach consists of villas and well spread low rise hotels and apartments. There are several restaurants and bars in the vicinity, including one which is right on the beach.</p><br>
<p>Reservoir Hole is a cave in Cheddar Gorge in southwest England. It contains what is believed to be the largest chamber yet found under the Mendip Hills.</p><br>
<p>The cave was first dug out in 1951 by members of Wessex Cave Club, and further progress was made in 1965 when "Moonmilk Chamber" was reached with the use of blasting. "Grand Gallery" was discovered in 1969, "Topless Aven" in 1970 and "Golgotha Rift" in 1973.</p><br>
<p>In September 2012, after four years&#39; work clearing a 100 m long passage, a group of diggers broke into a new chamber which was found to be 30 m high and 60 m long. Prior to the discovery, the largest void under the Mendip Hills was thought to be "Main Chamber" in GB Cave, which is 23 m high.</p><br>
<p>Before the find in 2012, the cave was already noted for a number of fine formations, and the newly discovered chamber, which has been named “The Frozen Deep”, contains pure-white pillars 5 m tall, as well as many stalagmites and stalactites.</p><br>
<p>The possibility of a connection between Reservoir Hole and Gough&#39;s Cave, one of the show caves in Cheddar Gorge, has been raised, as the two caves are in close proximity. The stream in Reservoir Hole emerges only a short distance down Cheddar Gorge.</p><br>
<p>Burnt Oak Brook is a one-mile-long stream between Mill Hill and Burnt Oak in the London Borough of Barnet. It is a tributary of the Silk Stream, which is a tributary of the River Brent, which is a tributary of the River Thames.</p><br>
<h2>The stream's course</h2><br>
<p>A minor spring in The Mill Field in Mill Hill is probably a source of a tributary of Burnt Oak Brook, but the brook itself is first visible in Simmonds Mead Open Space, a small green open space at the junction of Watford Way and Lawrence Street. The stream then again passes through an underground pipe to re-emerge in the north-west corner of Lyndhurst Park. It goes along The Meads and under Deansbrook Road to pass through Abbots Road Allotments into Watling Park. On exiting from the park it goes underground to join the Silk Stream near Silkstream Park.</p><br>
<h2>Ecological value</h2><br>
<p>The section of the brook between Lyndhurst Park and Watling Park is part of the Silk Stream and Burnt Oak Brook Site of Borough Importance for Nature Conservation, Grade II. Downstream of Lyndhurst Park, it passes through a narrow belt of mown grass which is left wild close to the brook, with scattered trees and common wild flowers on the banks. In Watling Park the stream mainly follows a natural course and crack-willows, hawthorn and alder form a woodland corridor for wildlife. Grey wagtails often forage among the pebbles of the brook.</p><br>
<p>The Lewis Kemp House is a historic pioneer farmstead in the city of Dayton, Ohio, United States. Built for one of the areas earliest residents, it was a religious center in its first years, while later years saw its expansion to its present form. Now located among much newer houses, it is Daytons oldest surviving residence, and it has been named a historic site.</p><br>
<h2>Kemp family</h2><br>
<p>In 1805, a large colony from Frederick County, Maryland settled within Mad River Township; among the ninety-six individuals was Lewis Kemp, who purchased land near the center of the township and in its southwestern region. Within a few years, Kemp relinquished some portions of his property, conveying a piece of land via general warranty deed to local school trustees for the construction of a schoolhouse in 1815, and another 1 acre he donated for cemetery purposes in 1815, but on the residue he continue to reside on the old homestead until his death at the age of 88. Kemp was an active member of the United Brethren Church; starting in 1810, Brethren minister Christian Newcomer would hold meetings on Kemp&#39;s farm whenever he visited the Dayton area.</p><br>
<h2>House</h2><br>
<p>Kemp&#39;s house is built of brick and limestone with a stone foundation; it is covered with an asphalt roof, and peripheral elements are made of wood and stone. The original portion of the house was constructed in 1806,</p><br>
<h2>Preservation</h2><br>
<p>Today, the Kemp House sits in a suburban neighborhood at the junction of Burkhardt Avenue with Meyers Avenue; it is within the city of Dayton, although the city limits of Riverside include some of the adjacent properties. As the oldest house in Dayton, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in early 1975, qualifying both because of its architecture and because it was the home of a leading local citizen. When it was given this designation, it was one of 11 such locations within Dayton, but the city&#39;s National Register list now embraces over 100 different places.</p><br>
<p>The Nashua Manufacturing Company Historic District in Nashua, New Hampshire, is a historic district that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places  in 1987. It encompasses an area just west of downtown Nashua, roughly located along the southern bank of the Nashua River, bordered on the west side by Mine Falls Park, on the south side by the Nashua River canal, up to Ledge Street, and from the east side by Factory, Pine and Water streets, up to the Main Street bridge.</p><br>
<p>Today this area is dominated by the clock tower at "Clock Tower Place" apartments, and the large "Millyard" smokestack of the Picker building. The district takes its name from the time when this complex of buildings belonged to the Nashua Manufacturing Company, and though surrounding buildings also served the company in some way or another, they are not included in the district. The Nashua Manufacturing Company was originally built as a cotton mill and was incorporated in 1823. Their competitor, the Jackson Manufacturing Company, located downstream on the other side of the Main Street bridge at Jackson Falls dam, was incorporated in 1824.</p><br>
<h2>Nashua power canal</h2><br>
<p>Though all of Mine Falls Park is not a part of the district, the entirety of the Nashua River Canal is, up to and including the 1886 Mine Falls Gatehouse. This "Upper", or "Power canal" is 3 mi long, 6 ft deep and 60 ft wide, and it was dug and in operation by 1830. It contributed significantly to the economic prosperity of the company.</p><br>
<h2>Historical significance</h2><br>
<p>In 1835 the town was the third largest city of New Hampshire after Dover and Portsmouth, and the Nashua Manufacturing Company opened their own bank, called the Nashua Bank. The creation of a new railroad line to Nashua from Lowell, Massachusetts, in 1838 gave the local economy a further boost, and the Nashua Iron Company opened, specializing in locomotive parts for this growing new industry. The Nashua Manufacturing Company built 48 houses or tenements and two churches to be able to hire enough workers to man the machinery in its complex.</p><br>

There is also chalet accommodation, camping facilities and a swimming pool.</p><br>
<h2>Broadcasting mast</h2><br>
<p>The television station RTM completed a transmitter on Gunung Lambak in 1969 to provide good reception in Kluang. It closed in 1983, superseded by a transmitter at Gunung Ledang, near Tangkak. The mast still stands at the summit of Gunung Lambak.</p><br>
<p>Cala d&#39;Albarca is a cove on the northern seaboard of the Spanish island of Ibiza. The cove is situated within the municipality Sant Antoni de Portmany. It is 4.0 mi north east of the village of Santa Agnès de Corona and 14.0 mi north of Ibiza Town.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Only the most determined explorer will be able to access the secluded bay. The cove in a large horseshoe with a rocky peninsular either side. To the eastern end is Cap des Rubió while at the western end is Cap dAlbarca both of which are over 200 m above sea level. To south of dAlbarca is the hills of Puig d&#39;en Cires and Puig de sa Cova’, 295 m and 340 m above sea level, respectively. Down in the cove there is a rocky beach, but no sand, but the impressive coastline here is scattered with huge bolders. One very impressive feature is a cracked natural arch. There are many flat rocks and ledges close to the waters edge which are good sunbathing spots. The water in the bay is crystal clear and is a deep turquoise when the sun shines. This is the ideal bay for snorkelling and diving.</p><br>
<p>The Fort Atkinson Water Tower is an unused water tower that was built in 1901 in Ft. Atkinson, Wisconsin. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 15, 2005.</p><br>
<p>It is a 112 ft-tall structure: a 78 ft cream brick masonry base supports a 33 ft steel tank. It has diameter just over 25 ft at the base.</p><br>
<p>The tower was deemed historically significant in its NRHP nomination in part as "a fine example of the type of water tower construction popular in Wisconsin during this period. It is distinctive in its overall height and its intact original steel tank. The tower also has fine brick construction making it a masonry landmark in Fort Atkinson." Also it is significant for representing the creation of a municipal water system, whose development "was fraught with considerable political debate. For almost 10 years, the issue of a municipal water works was debated and strongly opposed by a vocal minority. When the water works was finally built, it was both a political and historical event. That it happened in 1901, the beginning of a new century, was symbolic in that it was part of the overall growth and development of utilities that dramatically changed the way people in the</p><br>
<p>community lived in the twentieth century. The water tower is the largest and most prominent symbol of the development of the Fort Atkinson water works, a symbol of the history of this important public service."</p><br>
<p>Siegfried&#39;s Dale Farm, also known as the Rodale Research Center or Rodale Institute, is a historic home and farm complex located in Maxatawny Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania. The property includes 13 contributing buildings and 1 contributing structure.

The John and Catherina Siegfried house  is a -story, four-bay, rubble stone house with a slate gable roof. The Henry Siegfried house  is a -story, five-bay, rubble stone house in the Georgian style. The Johannes Siegfried house  is a -story, four-bay, sided rubble stone dwelling with a three-bay Victorian porch. Moravian settler Johannes Siegfried acquired the property in 1732. The property remained in the Siegfried family until shortly before it was acquired in 1971 by The Rodale Institute.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<p>Antelope Flat Reservoir is an impoundment located in the southern part of the Maury Mountains in Crook County, Oregon. It is formed by a 33 ft high earth-fill dam built across Bear Creek for irrigation purposes. The western part of the lake is within the Ochoco National Forest. Though it covers 170 acre when full, and has a storage capacity of almost 2,000 acre-feet  with a maximum depth of 28 ft, the reservoir is often not filled to capacity, especially late in the irrigation season. A boat-launch ramp is located at the lake&#39;s western end, and a 25-unit campground lies just up the hill from there.</p><br>
<p>Fish in the reservoir include rainbow trout and catfish. A rotenone treatment was applied in 2009 in an effort to remove brown bullhead catfish</p><br>

<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991. It was bought by the Schalls in the 1820s, and it has been passed down through the Schall-Dibbern-Snow family since. The current owner is Natalie Dibbern.</p><br>
<p>Old Hattiesburg High School, located at 846 North Main Street, in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, was utilized as a public school building from around 1911 to 1959. The building was designated a Mississippi Landmark in 1986 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1987. In 2007, the structure was heavily damaged by arson.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The school building was constructed in two phases. In 1911, a 2.5-story, rear structure was built with tan brick, a flat roof, and no ornamentation.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Following closure of the building as a public school in 1959, it served as offices for the Hattiesburg Public School District and later, as an antiques mall, until 2001. The Historic Hattiesburg Downtown Association acquired the property in 2002, with the expectation of restoring the building. In 2003, the Mississippi Heritage Trust listed the Old Hattiesburg High School as one of the ten most endangered landmarks in Mississippi.</p><br>
<p>In 2005, the structure was heavily damaged during Hurricane Katrina. More severe damage occurred in 2007, when an arsonist set a fire on the first floor of the 1921 addition. The fire spread to the fourth floor, and the roof collapsed. In 2008, a suspect in the arson was convicted and sentenced to 7 years in prison.</p><br>
<p>In spite of the 2007 fire, long-term restoration plans continued, including stabilization of the front facade and fencing of the property against further vandalism. By early 2010, reconstruction of the front facade was completed, but restoration efforts ceased because of harsh economic times brought on by the Great Recession.</p><br>
<p>In February 2017, the Historic Hattiesburg Downtown Association sold the old Hattiesburg High School property to a developer – Steve Nail of INTERVEST Corporation. The developer announced plans to convert the High School into apartments for senior citizens, while retaining the historic Landmark and National Register characteristics of the buildings.</p><br>
<p>Midwest Steel & Iron Works was a metal fabrication company based in Denver, Colorado. Founded in 1893, the company was known for a time as the Jackson-Richter Iron Works. The company was one of the "oldest and largest metal fabricators" in Denver. The company built both structural and ornamental components for structures throughout Colorado, Wyoming and New Mexico. The company&#39;s headquarters on Larimer Street in Denver includes an Art Deco office building and consists of a four-building complex that is itself considered a historic industrial site. The complex served as the company&#39;s headquarters from 1923 to 1983.</p><br>
<p>Among other works, the company manufactured the four Big Thompson River bridges, in Estes Park and Loveland, Colorado, all of which are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The Midwest Steel and Iron Works Company Complex at 25 Larimer St. in Denver, Colorado dates from 1906. It was headquarters of the Midwest Steel and Iron Works.</p><br>
<p>The office building was built in 1906 and expanded in 1930 and in 1955. The 1930 addition was a two-story Art Deco style brick 72 ft by 35 ft building designed by Denver architect Roland L. Linder.</p><br>
<p>The shop building was built in 1911 and expanded in 1923, 1952 and 1967. While most of the firm&#39;s early machinery no longer exists, the shop contains an original rivet forge from circa 1925.</p><br>
<p>The complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. The listing included two contributing buildings on 2 acre.</p><br>

<p>The Bella Union Hotel in Los Angeles, California, constructed in 1835, is California Historical Landmark No. 656, It was effectively the last capitol building of Mexican California under Governor Pio Pico in 1845–47 and was a center of social and political life for decades. Situated on the east side of Commercial Street, one block east of Main Street, it was later known as the Clarendon Hotel and then as the St. Charles.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The one-story adobe structure was built in 1835 by "three American trappers" — William Wolfskill, Joseph Paulding and Richard Laughlin — as a home for Isaac Williams, a New England merchant who had arrived in Los Angeles in 1832.</p><br>
<p>In 1851, when Horace Bell, the author of the seminal historical work Reminiscences of a Ranger, first came to Los Angeles, the hotel was owned by James Brown Winston, a medical doctor, and Alpheus P. Hodges, the citys mayor. Bells book, published in 1881, recounted how the hotel looked when he had stayed there thirty years before:</p><br>
<p>The house was a one-story flat-roofed adobe, with a corral in the rear, extending to Los Angeles street, with the usual great Spanish portal, near which stood a little frame house, one room above and one below. The lower room had the sign "Imprenta" over the door fronting on Los Angeles street, which meant that the Star was published therein. The room upstairs was used as a dormitory for the printers and editors.</p><br>
<p>... On the north side... were numerous pigeon-holes, or dog-kennels. These were the rooms for the guests of the Bella Union. In rainy weather the primitive earthen floor was sometimes, and generally, rendered quite muddy the percolations from the roof above.... The rooms were not over 6x9 in size. Such were the ordinary dormitories of the hotel advertised as being the "best hotel south of San Francisco." If a very aristocratic guest came along, a great sacrifice was made in his favor, and he was permitted to sleep on the little billiard table. during that time were the most bandit, cut-throat looking set that the writer had ever set his youthful eyes upon.... all... had slung to their rear the never-failing pair of Colt&#39;s, generally with the accompaniment of the bowie knife.</p><br>
<p>A second floor was added to the hotel in 1851, and a third in 1869.</p><br>
<p>Louis Roeder, later a member of the Los Angeles Common Council, who stayed at the Bella Union in 1856, recalled in 1903 that the Bella Union had been</p><br>
<p>a one-story building, with a dining-room at the rear of the bar, roofed with canvas. Adjoining was a drug store, kept by Dr. Griffin and Dr. Miller. Then came the private residence of Mr. Stearns, of the Stearns ranchos, a large adobe building, between which and the Plaza were a lot of shacks, occupied by Mexicans.</p><br>
<h2>Notable occasions</h2><br>
<p>When Pio Pico was confirmed by the Mexican government as the governor of California in 1845, he moved the territory&#39;s capital from Monterey, California, to Los Angeles, "as he always desired," setting up his headquarters in the Isaac Williams house. Later, the Bella Union was built upon this site.</p><br>
<p>After the conquest of California by American forces in 1847, the building was used by Lieutenant Archibald Gillespie, who commanded the USA troops. After they left, it became a saloon.</p><br>
<p>By early 1850 the building was operating as the Bella Union Hotel, and on June 24 of that year it became the county&#39;s first courthouse, until October 1851 or until 1852.</p><br>
<p>In 1850–51, when Alpheus P. Hodges was mayor and also the co-owner of the Bella Union:</p><br>
<p>a funny thing happened. Some leaders perpetrated a hoax on his honor. They raided the hotel where Hodges gave them free whiskey. That night they carried on sham attacks till morning against a supposed foe. They men had made their plans carefully and carried them out so realistically that, according to Horace Bell, they completely hoodwinked the mayor, who actually thought the pueblo was being attacked by a mob of rebels.</p><br>
<p>In 1853 Obed Macy was owner of the hotel, and he was assisted by his son, Oscar Macy, later a member of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors.</p><br>
<p>On October 7, 1858, the first Butterfield Overland Mail stagecoach from the East, arrived twenty-one days after leaving St. Louis, Missouri. "Warren Hall was the driver, and Waterman Ormsby, a reporter, the only through passenger. In that era it was the regions transportation hub: Wells, Fargo & Co. and Phineas Bannings coaches to and from Wilmington and San Bernardino had offices there."</p><br>
<p>The hotel hosted a champagne celebration marking the first telegraph transmission between San Francisco and Los Angeles in 1860.</p><br>
<p>At the outbreak of the Civil War in 1861, the Bella Union had become such a rendezvous for supporters of the Southern Confederacy that Union soldiers, primarily volunteers in training at the Drum Barracks in San Pedro, were forbidden to enter" it.</p><br>
<p>On April 28, 1861, Albert Sidney Johnston, just resigned from the USA Army as commander of the Department of the Pacific, arrived at the Bella Union from San Francisco on his way to join the Confederate forces.</p><br>
<p>Henry Hammel was proprietor of the Bella Union In 1862 or 1863. In 1864 Hammel sold his interest in the hotel and went to Kern County, where there was a gold rush. He and Andrew H. Denker located in Havilah in that county and built a hotel there, naming it, again, the Bella Union.</p><br>
<p>On July 5, 1865, a fashionable wedding party was held at the hotel to honor merchant Solomon Lazard and his bride, Caroline Newmark, the daughter of Joseph Newmark, who established the Los Angeles Hebrew Benevolent Society and the citys first Jewish cemetery. At the party, Robert Carlisle, owner of the 46,000-acre Chino Ranch, became engaged in a quarrel with Undersheriff Andrew King: Carlisle slashed the lawman across a hand and his stomach with a Bowie knife. He also threatened to kill "any and all" of Kings brothers. The next day, two of the brothers entered the hotel in search of Carlisle, a gunfight ensued and at the end Carlisle was fatally wounded and one of the King brothers, Frank, was dead. Carlisle&#39;s funeral was held in the Bella Union. Another King brother, Houston, was charged with murdering Carlisle; he was acquitted in 1866. It was, a Los Angeles Times reporter wrote many years later, "the most spectacular shooting affray in the history of Los Angeles."</p><br>
<p>In 1868 the hotel became the home of Robert Maclay Widney, known as the "father of the University of Southern California," and his bride until their new residence was built. One day, Widney, who was a teetotaller, showed his marksmanship to a pair of drunks by putting three bullets from his Colt revolver through a knot of wood on the wall that the others had been unable to hit.</p><br>
<p>Learning that the hotel was to be remodeled and the "last of the adobe" to be removed, some eighty "prominent citizens gathered for a farewell banquet on June 30, 1870." At that time John King was the proprietor; he died in 1871.</p><br>
<p>The improvements were done in 1873, and the hotel&#39;s name was changed to the Clarendon.</p><br>
<p>Finally, in 1875, the hotel became the St. Charles, a "low price lodging house, serving an increasingly poorer and diverse population."</p><br>
<p>The first talk over a telephone wire in Los Angeles took place in April 1877 when a USA Signal Corps lieutenant strung 200 feet of wire from the St. Charles across the street to the Lafayette Hotel. A local newspaper said of the event</p><br>
<p>The talking-machine demonstration over Main St. yesterday was a success. The contraption is quite a toy and very interesting. It is a question yet with the most conservative thinking whether it can ever be put to practical use.</p><br>
<p>The structure was demolished in 1940 and the site turned into a parking lot.</p><br>
<p>Ryūsendō is one of Japan&#39;s three largest limestone caverns.It us located in the town of Iwaizumi, Iwate Prefecture, in the Tōhoku region of northern Japan.</p><br>
<p>Ryūsendō has an accessible length of 1200 meters, making it the 62nd longest in Japan; however, its depth of 249 m from the entrance to its lowest point is the 5th deepest in Japan. The total confirmed length of the cave is currently 3,631 m, although the cave may extend much further. Further exploration has been banned following a fatality in December 1968. The cave system includes at least four underground lakes, the third of which has a depth of 98 m, and the fourth of which (not accessible to the public) has a depth of over 120 m. The cave system is also home to colonies of Greater horseshoe bat, Eastern long-fingered bat, Brown long-eared bat and Hilgendorf&#39;s tube-nosed bat as well as Microbats.</p><br>
<p>Ryūsendō was designed a Natural monument by the Japanese government in 1934. The caves were opened to the public in 1967. Its underground lake system was designated one of the “100 Famous Springs of Japan” in 1985 by the Ministry of the Environment.</p><br>
<p>The adjacent New Ryūsendō caves nearby were discovered in 1967. It claims to be the “first natural cave science museum in the world”, and contains displays of earthenware and stoneware discovered in 1967, together with displays on the geology of the main Ryūsendō caverns.</p><br>
<p>Roy A. And Gladys Westbrook House is loclated in Fort Worth, Texas, United States. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 8, 2009.</p><br>
<p>In 1946, oilman William Clark acquired the house. He divorced his second wife in 1950, and on February 13, 1951, married Mary Waterstreet Tuerpe. By 1953, Clark had become convinced that Tuerpe had married him for his money, and he sought an annulment. He also changed his will so that Tuerpe would get just $10. The majority of his $750,000 estate was given to charity. Twelve days after making the change, on May 22, 1953, his body was discovered in the house; he had been shot on May 19. The original finding of suicide was changed to murder. His wife, Mary Clark, and three ex-convicts were charged in the plot. Two of the three men who were accused as accomplices were murdered themselves before the case went to trial. In 1955, Tuerpe was acquitted, and the one surviving accomplice was given a five-year sentence in exchange for his cooperation in the prosecution. Tuerpe remained in the house for another fifty years.</p><br>
<p>Hoffellsjökull is an outlet glacier which flows from the ice cap of Vatnajökull. It is located in the municipality of Hornafjörður, southeast Iceland. Hoffellsjökull takes its name from Hoffell; a mountainous area and a farmland. Hoffellsjökull and the Hoffell area are a part of Vatnajökull National Park.</p><br>
<h2>Geomorphology</h2><br>
<p>A cold period, often named the Little Ice Age, begun around 1450. The outlet glacier Hoffellsjökull began to advance from the Vatnajökull ice cap, over level and vegetated land.</p><br>
<p>When the Hoffellsjökull glacier tongue advanced, it blocked the lower openings of gorges in the mountains around Hoffellsfjöll and Núpar. Glacial lakes formed at Efstafellsvatn, Gjávatn and Múlavatn, and annual jökulhlaups (glacial outburst floods) occurred. When the glacier retreated the dams were removed and the lakes had disappeared by 1985. The old water levels can still be clearly seen, for example at the site of Gjávatn where the water was up to 60 m deep.</p><br>
<h2>Utilization</h2><br>
<p>Hoffellsjökull was largest around 1890 and for the next fifty years it reached the moraine ridge in front of it. Lorries used to be driven up onto this ridge, and filled with glacial ice which they transported to the town of Höfn. The ice was used for chilling fish, both onshore and at sea. Due to climate changes, Hoffellsjökull has retreated a considerable distance. A deep lake is rapidly developing in the depression left behind, and will become constantly larger as the glacier retreats.</p><br>
<h2>Research</h2><br>
<p>The Hoffellsjökull outlet glacier was the scene of extensive research by glaciologists in the early part of the 20th century. It was also used as an access point for research on the Vatnajökull ice cap. One of the most famous expeditions was directed by the Icelandic meteorologist Jón Eyþórsson and the Swedish glaciologist Hans Wilhelmsson Ahlmann in 1936. Two geography students who accompanied them later became well known: Carl Mannerfelt in Swedish business and Sigurður Þórarinsson in Icelandic geological research.</p><br>
<p>Studies carried out by this group demonstrated that Vatnajökull receives much more precipitation than most glaciers elsewhere in the world, and also produces more meltwater. This means that the water cycle on the south side of Vatnajökull is extremely rapid, greater than in most other glacial systems in the world. Indeed, the central part of Hoffellsjökull was shown by other measurements to achieve a sliding speed of about two metres per day, with recent research confirming this speed.</p><br>
<p>The Eighth Street Bridge in Sioux Falls, South Dakota brings S. Eighth St. over the Big Sioux River. It is a triple-arch concrete deck arch bridge that was built in 1912 by N.M. Stark and Company. It has also been known as South Dakota Dept. of Transportation Bridge No. 50-203-206. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.</p><br>
<p>Its NRHP nomination notes that it has a four-lane roadway and rests on piers that "are protected by pointed cutwaters with conical caps." The roadway is "flanked by sidewalks and concrete railings with neoclassically detailed balustrades. The railings mark the position of</p><br>
<p>each pier with an elegant, fluted cast-iron light stand ornamented with consoles at the base."</p><br>
<p>Restoration work on the bridge was done in 1977.</p><br>
<p>The Calamus Creek Bridge near Maxwell, Iowa is a concrete Luten arch bridge that was built in 1905. At a cost of $900, it was built by N.M. Stark and Company, a firm which built several Luten arch bridges that are listed on the National Register of Historic Places . The Calamus Creek Bridge was listed in 1998.</p><br>
<p>It has a 25 ft single span and a total length of 45 ft.</p><br>
<p>The NRHP nomination for the bridge asserts:Before the codification of bridge design in the state in 1913, Stark built perhaps hundreds of Luten arches throughout Iowa, in exclusive contracts with Story and other counties. This structure in Story County is distinguished as the earliest remaining Luten arch in the state. In fact, with its 1905 construction date, it is one of the oldest Luten arches in the country, built in the same year as Daniel Luten received his patent. For this reason, it is a technologically significant, transportation-related resource.</p><br>
<p>The Loknya  is a river in Loknyansky and Bezhanitsky Districts of Pskov Oblast in Russia. It is a left tributary of the Lovat River. It is 119 km long, and the area of its basin 2,190 km&sup2;.</p><br>
<p>The name of the settlement of Loknya, and, consequently, of Loknyansky District originated from the name of the river.</p><br>
<p>The source of the Loknya is Lake Loknovo in the southwestern part of Loknyansky District. The river flows to the northeast, and a stretch of it is located at the border between Bezhanitsky and Loknyansky Districts. To the north of the work settlement of Loknya it turns southeast, and further downstream turns northeast again. The mouth of the Loknya is located downstream of the village of Zezyuli.</p><br>
<p>The drainage basin of the Loknya comprises the western part of Loknyansky District and some areas in Bezhanitsky District.</p><br>
<p>Pennichuck Brook is one of the tributaries of the Merrimack River in New Hampshire in the United States. Its watershed is 31 square miles and is one of the 14 subwatersheds of the Merrimack River. It passes through Nashua and Merrimack, New Hampshire and serves as the public water supply for greater Nashua.</p><br>
<h2>Route description</h2><br>
<p>Pennichuck Brook begins at Silver Lake in Hollis. It flows northeast under NH 122 and into Dunklee Pond, then continues northeast into Pennichuck Pond, on the boundary between Hollis and Nashua. Leaving Pennichuck Pond, it becomes the boundary between Nashua and the town of Merrimack, flowing northeast under Amherst Street (NH 101A), then turning east and flowing into Holts Pond and Bowers Pond. While part of Bowers Pond, it is crossed by the Everett Turnpike. Past the outlet of Bowers Pond, the brook drops into Harris Pond and Supply Pond, then goes under the Daniel Webster Highway (USA Route 3) before it flows into the Merrimack River. All of these water bodies are dammed. The brook runs roughly parallel to the Nashua River from Pennichuck Pond to the brook&#39;s mouth in Nashua.</p><br>
<p>The Jeremiah Dashiell House is located in the Bexar County city of San Antonio in the USA state of Texas. Also known as Casa Villita, it was designated a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark.under that name in 1962. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places listings in Bexar County, Texas as a contributing structure of the La Villita Historic District.</p><br>
<h2>House details</h2><br>
<p>This two-story limestone house fronts the San Antonio River Walk and was built c1850 by contractor J.H. Kampmann. The San Antonio Conservation Society (SACS) acquired the property in 1942 and did a restoration. Between 1953 and 1974, SACS used it as their headquarters.</p><br>
<p>Eventually, SACS moved their headquarters to the Anton Wulff House, and used the Dashiell house as the operational office for A Night in Old San Antonio. The structure is currently being leased to the Fig Tree Restaurant. When the National Park Service designated La Villita as a national historic district in 1972, the Dashiell house was listed as a contributing property.</p><br>
<h2>Jeremiah Yellot Dashiell</h2><br>
<p>Jeremiah Yellott Dashiell (1804–1888) was one of nine physicians who help found Louisville Medical College. Born and educated in Baltimore, Maryland, his earliest practice was in Louisville, Kentucky. His position as a political appointee under President James K. Polk brought him to San Antonio in 1849. He purchased property in the city and had Casa Villita built for himself.</p><br>
<p>During the Civil War he enlisted in the Confederate States Army and served under former Texas Governor Francis R. Lubbock. When the war ended, Dashiell became a newspaper editor in San Antonio. He died in 1888 and is buried at the Odd Fellows Cemetery in San Antonio.</p><br>
<p>The Grimming  is an isolated peak in the Dachstein Mountains of Austria and one of the few ultra-prominent mountains of the Alps.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<h3>Location</h3><br>
<p>The Grimming rises between the Enns valley and Salzkammergut, east of the Dachstein massif, being separated from its eastern rim by the Salza Gorge.</p><br>
<h3>Geology</h3><br>
<p>Despite its topographical separation from the Dachstein, the Grimming is mainly made of Dachstein limestone and is, in effect, a slab of the Dachstein block that has broken off.</p><br>
<p>Southwest of the main summit is the Grimmingtor, a roughly 50-metre-high and 15-metre-wide recess in the rock face, capped by a 10-metre-thick rock overhang. To the east it is bounded by a large rib of rock, which is why, in certain light conditions, it has the appearance of a gate (German: Tor). According to legend, rich treasures have been hidden behind this "gate".</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Thanks to its imposing appearance, it was long described as mons Styriae altissimus, the highest mountain in the Austrian state of Styria.</p><br>
<p>Very early on the Grimming was used as a survey mark for land survey. In 1822 Lieutenant Carl Baron Simbschen erected a wooden survey mark at the summit and a stone hut just below it as a shelter.</p><br>
<h2>Access</h2><br>
<p>The mountain is a popular destination for mountaineers and climbers.</p><br>
<h3>Huts</h3><br>
<p>Grimming Hut (966 m): The only hut in this massif is not far above the valley and may be reached in about an hour from Trautenfels.</p><br>
<p>North of the Grimming summit there is a bothy that was built in 1949 and may be used as emergency shelter in bad weather.</p><br>
<h3>Ascents</h3><br>
<p>From Trautenfels through the Schneegrube (southeast): most popular route via the Grimming Hut. This route was first used in 1888 by Heinrich Heß.</p><br>
<p>From Kulm (northwest): starting behind the ski jump, through the cirque of Gipfelkar, where the bothy is located.</p><br>
<p>From Trautenfels via Kasten and Multereck: this route initially crosses the eastern subpeak (2,176 m), before reaching the main summit.</p><br>
<p>From Niederstuttern to the Grimming Hut, then left along the southeast arête or right via Kasten and Multereck to the top.</p><br>
<p>Farmers Union Gin Company was an American cotton processing company located in San Marcos, Texas. Its main facility, located at 120 Grove Street, is now a registered historic site.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1908, Henry Kellerman, J. H. Barbee, A. H. Fleming, I. B. Rylander, and J. H. Williams acquired the premises of 120 Grove Street. They then established in 1909 the Farmers Union Gin Company under the leadership of Oscar Calvin Smith, Sr. (b. 1876 d. 1948, Texas Cotton Ginners Association organizer and director, San Marcos city commissioner 1924–1941 and mayor 1941–1942), an organization which would proceed to operate San Marcos&#39; largest industrial facility at the time.</p><br>
<p>The gin continued operations until 1966 and was later recognized by both the Texas Historical Commission and National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Structure</h2><br>
<p>The present building was constructed in 1911 as a replacement for one that was destroyed by fire.</p><br>

<p>Burqush or Burkush  is an archaeological site situated 30 km west of Damascus, Syria.</p><br>
<p>The nearby Wadi al-Qarn is an important breeding site for wild birds in the Middle East and has been identified by BirdLife International as an Important Bird Area.</p><br>
<p>The site sits at an altitude of 1,580 m and overlooks the Damascus plain and surrounding hill country where herds of goats and camels wander the area. Due to the sensitive nature of the territory close to the borders with Lebanon and the Golan, visitors may need a military escort to access the site, which is a ten-minute walk along a steep track away from the main road.</p><br>
<p>Julien Aliquot suggested that the site may have been called Barkousa in ancient times. This was contrary to the location of Barkusha that had previously been suggested by Albrecht Alt in 1947. In the 6th century, it was renamed Justinianopolis (Ἰουστινιανούπολις, "city of Justinian") after the Byzantine emperor Justinian I.</p><br>
<h2>Byzantine basilica and Roman temple</h2><br>
<p>There are the ruins of two Roman temples in the village that are included in a group of Temples of Mount Hermon.</p><br>
<p>The ruins of a 6th-century CE Byzantine basilica lie on the top of a hill which has been artificially flattened to form a two level plateau. The area around features numerous rock cut rooms and crypts. The podium on which the basilica is constructed is suggested to be that of a previous Roman temple suggested to date to the 1st century CE. The Roman temple itself is thought to have been built on the remains of a previous temple that had been in use for secular purposes for at least four hundred years earlier and possibly for many generations prior. The basilica is constructed of massive blocks of stone and the site is littered with other confusing blocks, some of which possibly resemble buildings or unusual geological outcrops.</p><br>
<p>The temple complex at Burqush was mentioned by the German archaeological mission to Baalbek in 1903 and has received little study since then. A topographic and architectural survey of the site was conducted in 1999 by Gunnar Brands for the University of Halle-Wittenberg. A dissertation covering the results of the survey is in progress by Frederike von Bargen.</p><br>
<p>The survey noted complex substructures, and intended to document the surrounding settlements, tombs, quarries and a propylon temple ruins. The survey was hampered by the remoteness and altitude of the site, tank shelling, and finding a settlement in the area that was twice as large as expected with numerous rock cut tombs nearby. The basement of the basilica was constructed from bedrock and showed a high technical quality of construction. Traces of bronze candle holders were found along with remnants of a marble cover that was white with gray veining. Twelve capitals were recorded in 1903, of which only eight remained in place, with three more displaced nearby, one reused for medieval farming. The twelfth capital had been covered in rubble and totally obscured. The east wall of the basilica features a portico. Foundations of what were thought to be a peristyle for the basilica were found to its north west, some of the area to the north was cleared and leveled by the military. The remains of the settlement are dispersed on the east slope of the hill are also large buildings on the west slope.</p><br>
<p>The Albert E. Thornton House at 105 W. Paces Ferry Rd., Atlanta, Georgia was built in 1938. It was designed by architect Philip T. Shutze. The house is asserted to be a "supurb example of the Regency Revival style in Atlanta".</p><br>
<p>It is a five-bay central block building with one-story wings. Its Regency features include its apsodial entrance, its use of an elliptical window and an "eye-lid" dormer, and its stucco building material.</p><br>
<p>Shutze was once regarded as "the nations foremost living classical architect". He and his firm designed seven of the mansions on Atlantas West Paces Ferry Road. His landscape design for the "Swan House", another of the mansions, was important to the overall success of that home&#39;s English Renaissance Revival architecture. The landscaping of the Thornton House is likewise important in its success.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>The Reid House at 1325-1327 Peachtree St., NE, in Atlanta, Georgia, known also as Garrison Apartments  and as 1325 Apartments , was built as a luxury apartment building in 1924. It was the third luxury apartment building built in Atlanta. It received a $2 million renovation during 1974 and was converted to a luxury condominium building in 1975. The ten-story building was designed by architect Philip T. Shutze of architectural firm Hentz, Reid and Adler in Classical Revival architecture. The 1974 renovation was by architect Eugene I. Lowry.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. The NRHP nomination lists 24 units; it has also been described as having 40 units.</p><br>
<p>Reid House, or at least some part of it, has also been described as being designed by Neel Reid. It is located across Peachtree Street from the High Museum of Art.</p><br>
<p>Qalat Bustra or Qalat Bustra is an archaeological site in Lebanon, close to the border of the Sheba Farms region of the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, about 5 km ENE of Ghajar. It is situated on a peak of height 786m with a panoramic westward view. Qalat Bustra, believed to be an ancient Roman sanctuary, was excavated by Israeli archaeologists. Remains found at the site include a farmhouse and temple dating from the Hellenistic and Roman period.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Archaeological surveys were first made in 1970–1972, who named the place Harviya. In 1990 a second expedition, carried out under the auspices of Bar Ilan Universitys Department of Land of Israel Studies, learned from local Arabs that the place is called Qalat Bustra. The investigations revealed stelae and evidence of cultic activity dating to the Hellenistic period or earlier which continued into the Roman period. A farmhouse and temple discovered at the site have been dated to the Hellenistic and Roman periods (third century BCE to third-fourth centuries CE).</p><br>
<p>The farmstead is located at the center of a large farmyard, surrounded by well-built stone walls. It has many rooms that served different purposes. A villa-like structure contained a tower which is still visible. The surrounding farmland counts remains of many structures, including buildings, walls. Water cisterns with unusually large capacity for the region were found.</p><br>
<p>At the highest point of the peak, there are the remains a Roman temple covering about 100 square meters. Parts of a marble statue that include a male foot wearing a sandal was also recovered; it was probably a local deity worshipped at the temple. A collection of snails were also found. Various animal bones were discovered and dated to the 5th century CE including sheep, goats, cattle and a chicken.</p><br>
<p>B&#39;Nai Zion Temple is a historic Jewish temple located in downtown Shreveport, Louisiana. It was constructed in 1914 and dedicated in 1915.</p><br>
<p>The Jewish community of Shreveport started off small in the late 1840s. By 1857 a small congregation of Jews had been created. They met in one of the congregant&#39;s homes under the leadership of Rabbi Julius Lewin. In 1861 the congregation adopted the name Har-el and started attending services in the home of a local Jewish businessman. At that time, most members of the congregation identified with the Reform tradition of Judaism. Once the Civil War was over, the group became known as Hebrew Zion.</p><br>
<p>In 1869 the congregation constructed its first building of worship on Fannin Street. In 1875 a disagreement about the religious traditions of Judaism triggered a split in the congregation. A new Orthodox congregation was formed but the split was short lived. In 1877, the two groups reconciled and agreed to become identified with the Reform tradition of Judaism.</p><br>
<p>By 1910 the Fannin Street building was above capacity, with over 150 members belonging to the Hebrew Zion congregation. By 1910, plans to construct a new temple were being devised. In 1915, the Beaux-Arts building was dedicated and the congregation was renamed B&#39;Nai Zion. The building was seen as "an architectural gem and an ornament to the city." Shortly after the end of World War II, the temple had over 300 members.</p><br>
<p>In 1955 the congregation had relocated to a new building on Southfield Road. By 1962, membership was above 400 people. After the relocation, the building was sold to the Knights of Columbus. In 1993 the building was bought by a private historical group who planned to preserve the building for its beautiful architecture. The historic structure is now vacant. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.</p><br>
<p>Har Senaim or Senaim is an archaeological site that sits on a peak near Mount Hermon in the Israeli-occupied portion of the Golan Heights, 15 km north east of Kiryat Shmona and 4 km from Banias.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The site features a Roman temple and settlement that has been included in a group of Temples of Mount Hermon. The ruins of a second Ancient Greek temple were also found nearby. The Roman temple featured an altar carved with a relief of Helios, the sun god. The shrine at Har Senaim was carved out of solid bedrock. The settlement measures approximately 5,000 m&sup2;. Other finds included a basalt animal muzzle and a brass ring that was decorated with the image of a merman. Several coins were found dating to Byzantine and Mamluk periods. The complex at Har Senaim has been suggested to be a cult site or funerary garden and compared to the high places mentioned in the Books of Kings.</p><br>
<p>The Daniel Webster Robinson House is an historic house at 384-388 Main Street in Burlington, Vermont. It was designed by the Boston firm of Peabody and Stearns and built in 1885-1886 for prepared lumber magnate Daniel Webster Robinson. Since 1931 it has housed the Alpha Iota Chapter of the Alpha Chi Omega sorority affiliated with the University of Vermont . It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Daniel Webster Robinson House stands on the north side of Main Street, just west of the main UVM campus, between South William and South Willard Streets. It is a three-story wood-frame structure, basically rectangular, with its massing obscured by a wealth of asymmetrical architecture typical of the Queen Anne period. The front facade features a low projecting turret on the second level at the right corner, with a wraparound porch that is open across most of the front, with an roofed corner pavilion at the left, and a covered porch on the right side that continues to a shingled porte-cochere with rounded opening. The front-facing cross gable of the main roof has a window set in it, below which is a corbel-like bulge. The interior of the building retains a significant amount of original woodwork and other decorative elements, despite its extended use as a sorority house. The period carriage house, which is also finely crafted, stands behind the main house, and has been converted to residential use.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1885-85 for Daniel Webster Robinson, then a leading force in one of Burlingtons largest lumber companies. Robinson in 1897 bought out the remaining interests in the Barnes Company which he had been part-owner of since 1873. The house was designed by Peabody and Stearns of Boston, a major architectural firm of the period; it is one of the firms significant works in Vermont.</p><br>
<p>The Anton Wulff House is located in the Bexar County city of San Antonio in the USA state of Texas. It was designated a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark in 1976. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places listings in Bexar County, Texas as a contributing structure of the King William Historic District. The house has been the headquarters of the San Antonio Conservation Society since 1975. German immigrant businessman Wulff was a city alderman, San Antonio&#39;s first park commissioner, and the man who designed the layout and beautification of Alamo Plaza.</p><br>
<h2>House details</h2><br>
<p>The multi-story Italianate limestone Anton Wulff House is at located at 107 King William Street in the King William Historic District in San Antonio. It was built 1869–1870 on land originally owned by Pedro Huizar, and which was once part of San Antonio de Valero Mission. In 1902, the Wulff family sold the house to Arthur and Elise Guenther. In the 19th century, the property included a boathouse and a bathhouse. Flooding in 1921 resulted in a 1926 flood-control measure that included re-routing part of the San Antonio River. Prior to that, the Wulff house was adjacent to the river.</p><br>
<p>After a 1950 sale to F. G. and Kathryn Antonio, the structure was converted into individual apartments. Later, the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners remodeled the house after they purchased the structure; and in 1968 it received a zoning exemption due to its inclusion in the King William District.</p><br>
<p>In 1974, the San Antonio Conservation Society (SACS) raised enough funds to purchase the home for $250,000, half of which came from the Sheerin Foundation. The Economic Development Administration provided a grant, 20% of which was matched by SACSs fund raising, to restore the home. In 1975, SACS moved its headquarters into the Wulff home. In honor of the propertys original owner, an adjacent lot is named the Pedro Huizar Garden.</p><br>
<h2>Anton Wulff</h2><br>
<p>Anton Friedrich Wulff (1822–1894) was a native of Hamburg, Germany, who immigrated to Texas in 1848. In 1852, he married San Antonio resident María Guadalupe Olivarri, whose ancestors were among the first Canary Islanders to arrive in the area in 1731. Wulff became a United States citizen in 1854. He clerked in retail stores briefly in San Antonio before opening his first dry-goods store in Fredericksburg. He expanded his business into Coke County, and into the border towns of Laredo and Presidio del Norte.</p><br>
<p>During the Civil War, Wulff supplied the military units on both sides of the conflict. As a result, Confederate States Army Lt. Colonel John Baylor declared Wulff a spy. Wulff sent his family to Germany for the duration of the war, and he moved to Mexico to wait it out.</p><br>
<p>Then he and his family returned to San Antonio, where he built his home. He became active in civic work, became the city&#39;s first park commissioner, and was elected a city alderman. Wulff designed the layout of Alamo Plaza. His love of horticulture led to his beautification of the plaza, much of it at his own expense. In gratitude, city business leaders presented him with an engraved gold-topped walking cane.</p><br>
<p>The Hightower Building is a historic commercial office building located at 105 North Hudson in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Designed by J.W. Hawk and J.O. Parr, the Classical Revival style building was originally built in 1920 with three stories and four elevators, and underwent a seven-story addition, in 1929, making it the ten-story, 130 foot tall building it is today.</p><br>
<p>As described in its NRHP designation, “Although some alterations have been made to upper floor interiors and the original windows have been removed and replaced, the overall design, with smooth brickwork and classically-inspired, cast stone details, retain the original architectural design and integrity. It remains the only "skyscraper" of the 1920s era that utilizes the Classical Revival motif in Oklahoma City.”</p><br>
<p>“In 1959, the Johnson family purchased a three-story building adjacent to the west which was built in 1925. The interior and exterior of this building was remodeled to match the Hightower design and the addition blends perfectly.”</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 13, 2002.</p><br>
<p>The R. B. and Lizzie L. Louden House, also known as the William and Susan F. Elliott House and the John and Gladdy Ball House, is a historic residence located in Fairfield, Iowa, United States. The single family dwelling was built in 1871 for William and Susan Elliott. The house&#39;s historical significance derives from its association with R. B. Louden, who served as the president of the Louden Machinery Company from 1899 through 1939 and his residence here. He and his wife Lizzie substantially remodeled the house in 1900 and 1929, which gives it its eclectic appearance. The latter addition includes two enclosed porches and a sleeping porch designed by Ottumwa, Iowa architect George M. Kerns. The historic designation includes the 2½-story brick house and the 2-story, brick, double garage in the back. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<p>The Boura Mountains are a mountain range in Djibouti. With a mean peak height of 1,037 m is the ninth highest point in Djibouti, the ecology of this landform is semi-desert. The mountain is located approximately 32 km east of Ali Sabieh, 13 kilometres  from Assamo by road. The altitude and size of the range affects its weather, with precipitation levels varying greatly and climatic conditions consisting of distinct zones. Wildlife live in the higher peaks to elevations of 1,037 m . Issa Somali have a long history in the Boura Mountains.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Issa Somali have inhabited the area for at least 2,000 years. The French probably travelled around the Boura Mountains in 1899. The most famous town in the area is the town of Ali Adde located 2 km north. The principal languages spoken in the area are Somali</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Boura Mountains is actually a cluster of mountains with two distinct summits, each about the same height. The mountain forms one of the geographic resources of the area.</p><br>
<h2>Ecology</h2><br>
<p>The geology of the Boura Mountains is complex. The dense mountain forest sits at an altitude of between 650–900 m above sea level, and has a mean annual rainfall of 150–250 mm. The highlands experience, as most tropical regions, two seasons; the rainy season is from mid-June to mid-September and the dry season from October to June. In addition to rainfall, the Boura Mountains receive additional precipitation in the form of fog and winter rains which sustain isolated forests of Juniperus, Buxus, Acacia, Acacia tortilis, Juniperus procera, etc. The Boura Mountains have attracted many animals, such as gazelles, birds, hamadryas baboon and black-backed jackal. Rainfall is limited, with variations based on elevation. The highlands enjoy a temperate, rainy summer with an average high temperature of 31 &deg;C and a cool, moderately dry winter with temperatures occasionally below 13 &deg;C.</p><br>
<h2>Fauna and flora</h2><br>
<p>A number of birds are found in the mountains including Egyptian vultures. Mammals include the Dorcas gazelle which is found in the Boura Mountains. The mountains are rich in plant life, including a number of different species. The vegetation changes with altitude, the mountains are covered with desert scrublands at lower elevations, growing richer and then becoming scrubland.</p><br>
<h2>Climate</h2><br>
<p>The climate type of Boura Mountains is tropical monsoon, located close to the equator, these mountains catch the precipitation of the monsoon winds of the Indian Ocean, resulting in a rainy season that lasts from July until mid-September. Thef altitude of the high ranges of mountains which embrace it provide a pleasant climate, with refreshing cool summer nights and excellent spring, while winter days are pretty cold and the nights could reach 12 &deg;C. It is common for afternoon temperatures to be over 35 &deg;C yet mornings can be extremely cooler. As a result, there is much more natural vegetation.</p><br>
<h2>Hiking paths</h2><br>
<p>The mountain has a strong undergrowth and it cannot be walked up from every direction. The main path starts on the eastern side.</p><br>
<p>The Hoham-Klinghammer-Weckerle House and Brewery Site, located in Plymouth, Marshall County, Indiana is connected to three German families, all related through marriage, that settled in the area in 1844-1865. The Hoham, Klinghammer, and Weckerle families established and operated the Plymouth Brewery from 1857 to 1888. Among several buildings that existed at brewery site was a Stick/Queen Anne style house, now the only remaining building at the site.</p><br>
<p>The exact date and builder of the house is not known, construction started prior to 1882, probably by the Klinghammers. The largely brick house has two full floors and a half story top floor. A partially exposed full basement adds to the overall height of the house. Two brick vaults are buried fifty feet west of the house and were a part of the original brewery building.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>John Hoham was born in Strasburg, Germany on June 17, 1820. He came to the United States in 1840 and settled in Marshall County near Lake Maxinkuckee in 1844. In 1857 Hoham and Klinghammer purchased three acres for $75, located a mile southwest of Plymouth at that time. They constructed the first brewery in the county on this property.</p><br>
<p>John Hoham and John Klinghammer constructed the large brick vaults existing on the property. The vats located in one of the vaults are believed to have been used to ferment the beer. Hoham sold his interest in the brewery to Klinghammer in 1867. The abstract refers to the lands as "brewery property".</p><br>
<p>A linen map dating to about 1882 shows proposed routes for the Vandalia Railroad; one route passes by the south side of the brewery property. The property is marked "brewery" with six buildings drawn including a larger building along the east edge of the property with a footprint in a shape similar to the existing house. The construction of the house probably occurred prior to 1887 and assuming the building on the linen map is the house, the construction date would be about 1880.</p><br>
<p>It was reported that the "Old Plymouth Brewery" had been sitting idle for one year in 1889. The brewery was then used for egg storage during the 1890s. It was while Beldon was using it for storage that the main brewery building was destroyed by fire.</p><br>
<p>The house gained local fame in the Prohibition era when was used as for illegal gambling and liquor sales. Purchased for use as a road house in 1923, by 1928 what one local newspaper noted as the "County&#39;s greatest raid" had occurred there, and the business, known as the Pine Tree Inn, was padlocked for a year. It is unclear if it ever reopened as legitimate roadhouse.</p><br>
<p>Jackson Park Town Site Addition Brick Row is a group of three historic houses and two frame garages located on the west side of the 300 block of South Third Street in Lander, Wyoming. Two of the homes were built in 1917, and the third in 1919. The properties were added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 27, 2003.</p><br>
<h2>615 South Third Street</h2><br>
<p>The 1 1/2 story brick house at 615 South Third Street was built for Alexander (Scotty) Johnston, a successful sheep rancher, in 1917. The structure is situated on three lots lined with large cottonwood trees. Red brick covers the building on all sides, with a partial foundation visible at the bottom of the exterior walls and a water table of brown brick runs around the entire structure about two feet above grade. The roof is gable-fronted, with two projecting side dormers. A full-length porch built on the front of the building features a hipped roof supported by boxed columns. The porch railings and all the home&#39;s windowsills (with the exception of two on the back porch) are sandstone. A second porch on the back of the house was originally screened in but was winterized with the addition of two casement windows in 1999. A detached garage is set slightly behind the structure.</p><br>
<p>The front porch, accessible via concrete steps, leads to the paneled oak front door with beveled glass. The screen door, of white aluminum, was installed in 2001. To the right of the front door is a bay window with decorative brickwork. A similar bay window with a hipped roof is located on the right (north) side of the home, next to a tall brick chimney. Towards the rear of the building, also on the right side, is a single-hung window. On the rear of the house, wooden steps (reconstructed in 1999) lead onto the enclosed back porch through a wooden screen door and a wooden paneled door. A single double-hung window is the only one on the first-floor rear of the house. On the left (south) side of the structure is a pair of double-hung windows next to a door leading to the basement.</p><br>
<p>Both second-floor gables of the home and both dormers sport double-hung windows. Wood shingles cover the dormer walls from the tops of these windows to the roof. The roof itself originally utilized wood shingles as well, but these have been replaced with asphalt shingles.</p><br>
<p>Inside the building are oak woodwork and wooden flooring. Separating the parlor, living room, and dining room from each other are two colonnaded bookcases. The dining room features a large Craftsman-style china cabinet with leaded glass. The kitchen, family room, and a small bathroom sit in the rear of the home. The second floor, accessed by a bracketed oak staircase at the front entry, contains four bedrooms and another bathroom, this one sporting the original cast-iron bathtub and pedestal sink.</p><br>
<h2>635 South Third Street</h2><br>
<p>The 1 1/2 story Arts and Crafts bungalow at 635 South Third Street, sandwiched between the other two houses of the Jackson Park Town Site Addition Brick Row, was constructed in 1919 for Leslie Read (grandson of pioneer Lander businessman Major Noyes Baldwin) by carpenter Dan Packard. The roof is side-gabled, with a dormer on the front and another dating from 1989 on the back. The house shares three tree-lined lots with a detached two-car garage accessible from the alley running along the propertys south (left) border. The houses foundation is visible for about two feet over ground level and is covered in stucco. The first story is covered in blonde brick, while the porch railings and the flat arches and sills of all but one of the first-floor windows utilize brown brick.</p><br>
<p>Fronting the house are three double-hung windows, to the right of which is situated a "cutaway" front porch with a single tapering brick column at the structures northeast corner. A pair of double-hung windows look into the house from the back wall of the porch, and the Craftsman-style front door with stained glass is in the porchs east wall. A pair of double-hung windows and a single-double hung window are on the houses right (north) side. Another double-hung window is on the rear of the building, next to a small window that once utilized a double-hung sash but has been changed to glass block for privacy, as the window looks into a bathroom. Also on the rear of the house is a 1989 addition on a concrete block foundation, with exterior walls finished in wood shingles, a picture window and a gable roof. The addition was built in a manner that complements the buildings original styling. A bay window with three double-hung windows and a shed roof is on the structure&#39;s south (left) side, toward the rear of the house; toward the front is a chimney flanked by single double-hung windows. Also on the left side of the house, a wooden storm door and a paneled door lead into the basement.</p><br>
<p>The gabled second-floor ends of the building are covered in wood shingles and feature triple-ganged double-hung windows. The roofs gabled front dormer is finished in wood lap siding, although the actual gable in covered with wood shingles. A pair of double-hung windows are centered in the front of the dormer, flanked by single double-hung windows. The rear dormer, added after the original construction, sports triple-ganged double-hung windows and wood shingles. The homes roof is covered in asphalt shingles, and features the exposed rafter tails and knee braces.</p><br>
<p>The inside of the house echoes the Arts and Crafts styling of the exterior, with oak flooring and pine woodwork. A living room, dining room, kitchen, den, bathroom, and bedroom are on the first floor, while three bedrooms and an additional bathroom dating from 1989 are upstairs.</p><br>
<h2>677 South Third Street</h2><br>
<p>The third house of the Jackson Park Town Site Addition Brick Row is a large 1 1/2 story Arts & Crafts home occupying three lots at the northwest corner of 3rd and Cascade Streets, with several large blue spruce trees and gardens. The home was built in 1919 for Frank S. Bower, a local lumberyard owner and sheep rancher. Fronted by a partially enclosed wraparound porch, the house is topped by an intersecting gable roof. A two-car garage built to match the house is attached on a rear corner. The house&#39;s exterior is covered in brown brick, with the concrete foundation visible for approximately one foot above grade.</p><br>
<p>Concrete and brick stairs lead onto the porch, the roof of which is supported by six brick columns with decorative arches in between. Large cottage windows with stained glass headers are on either side of a Craftsman-style front door with a stained glass insert. Part of the porch was enclosed with eight-light casement windows in 1935. The most prominent feature on the structure&#39;s left (north) side is a large window bay, sharing the wall with a chimney flanked by three double-hung windows and two more double-hung windows next to a side entry, with a wooden storm door and a wooden paneled door. Sharing the back of the structure with the attached garage, a large enclosed porch sports six double-hung windows and a hipped roof. The left (north) side of the house includes more windows, with a window bay matching the one on the right side of the house and a set of triple-ganged double-hung windows flanked by two single double-hung windows.</p><br>
<p>The roofs front gable, clipped in the front to form a jerkinhead like the houses other three gables, has a pair of double-hung windows flanked by two small triangular windows; the gable end is finished in stucco. The gables on the left and right sides of the roof are built similarly. The rear gable, however, features two double-hung windows flanking a picture window; the picture window replaced a set of French doors opening onto an upper-level porch that was later removed.</p><br>
<p>A spacious living room, dining room, sitting room, bathroom, bedroom, and kitchen are located on the first floor. The woodwork, central staircase, and floors are all oak. The home also sports a built-in buffet, pocket doors, and ten-foot ceilings with ornate crown molding. On the second floor are a large reading room, three bedrooms, and three bathrooms.</p><br>
<p>The stone circles of Junapani are prehistoric megalithic circles in Junapani, near Nagpur in the Indian state of Maharashtra. There are about 300 such stone circles noted around Junapani. They were first excavated by J. H. Rivett-Carnac in 1879, yielding a variety of iron objects including daggers, flat axes with cross-ring fasteners, hoes, rings, bracelets, horse bits, chisels with long blades, and pointed tongs, possibly covered with a wooden handle.</p><br>
<p>These structures are designated by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) as monuments of national importance. The site was excavated by ASI in 1962 which unearthed three stone circles. The Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR) has funded additional studies.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The stone circles of Junapani is an uninhabited burial site containing Sepulchral megaliths with remains of the dead. These are found in a small area, about 10 km northwest of Nagpur city in central India, in the Vidharba region. They are of fairly large size, visible on Google Earth, and grouped near banks of rivers. It is located on the highway to Katol and forms the northern fringe of central India&#39;s megalith distribution.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Human habitation in the region is dated to 1000 BC and continues to exist to present day. The area was an important part of the north south corridor of India. The megaliths found here are dated from 1000 BC to 300 AD. This assessment is based on the many antiquaries unearthed from the Sepulchral of the megalithic period. The iron implements found here denote a period of around 1000 BC. These are identified by local communities of different clans. One particular feature noted in these circles is the placement of stones with cup marks. It is inferred that these circles have nothing in common with the menhirs, dolmens and other non-sepulchral and sepulchral megalithic structures of South India.</p><br>
<p>Junapani is the second largest site, with 150 stone circles of megalithic period, out of 51 sites around Nagpur Region, and 89 in the Vidharba Region. B.K. Thapar was involved with excavations of the site in 1961. Initially, three stone circles were unearthed of which two circles revealed human remains associated with funerary objects; an animal skeleton of the Equidae (horse) family was also found. During these excavations, only cup-marked stones in the stone circles were noted. To establish the significance of these cup marks, which are fixed with specific orientation, TIFR instituted studies to establish if these stone circles have any link with astronomy or cosmogony of the people of the area.</p><br>
<h2>Archaeological finds</h2><br>
<p>The funerary antiquaries at this megalithic burial site are painted red pottery (a few with Megalithic Graffiti Symbols), micaceous red and the coarse red ware. These finds are identical to similar finds from other locations in the region such as from Kaundinyapura, Paunar, Takalghat and Khapa, west of Nagpur; the last two sites were excavated in 1968 on both banks of the Krishna River.</p><br>
<p>TIFR studies (including mapping) have so far covered 56 stone circles and most of them are found to be in a good state of preservation; they are of a few meters diameter. Cup marks have been recorded on 20 of these circles, with seven having marks on the sides. From an analysis of the location of these cup circles, it has been noted that the cup-marks with parallel lines or orthogonal sequences are seen either in a straight line or with a ‘+’ sign form, and also that the ‘+’ sign lines are aligned radially or tangentially within or around the circle with a definite orientation. A specific angular range has also been recorded in all the cup marks, which are in the form of 3 clusters.</p><br>
<p>The cup marks are a few centimeters in length, specifically located along the stone circles are indicative of locating them with orientation towards the sky with specific angles with respect to the north. The directions recorded are 118, 208 and 334 degrees to the north. These could be stellar oriented to show the rising and setting times of specific stars and weather changes over the seasons, and setting of the monsoon season, in particular.</p><br>
<p>There are many other finds reported from this site. A copper bell with iron tongue was located in one of the circles. In three circles excavated, heaps of sticky black clay was found heaped around the funerary finds. Many types of Iron implements were also found here attesting to the site’s title as "iron-using". Find of stone pestle has also been reported.</p><br>
<p>Ko Adang  is the second biggest island within Tarutao National Marine Park, in Thailand, very close to Ko Lipe island. The island is 6 km long and 5 km wide. The highest point on the island is 690 m.</p><br>
<h2>Overview</h2><br>
<p>Adang is surrounded by only few sandy beaches, but the offshore coral reef is abundant. The hilly interior is covered in dense jungle. There are two waterfalls on Ko Adang.</p><br>
<h2>Tourism</h2><br>
<p>There are some mountain trails suitable for hiking though the jungle forest. View points along the way offer views over the nearby island of Ko Lipe and the sea panorama behind.</p><br>
<p>The island is very quiet and undeveloped, thanks to being part of Tarutao National Park. On the southern tip (closest to Ko Lipe) there are camping facilities, as well as bungalows, all belonging to the national park. There is also a ranger station. Long-tail boats can be hired to get to other sights on and around Ko Adang, including a black sand beach to the north of the island.</p><br>
