<p>The Glenmacnass Waterfall is a waterfall on the Glenmacnass River and constitutes the beginning of the Glenmacnass valley. The valley ends near the village of Laragh in County Wicklow and can be easily traversed by the Military Road joining Sally Gap to Laragh.</p><br>
<h2>River and waterfall</h2><br>
<p>The river begins high up on the south east quadrant of Mullaghcleevaun mountain, the second tallest of the Wicklow Mountains at 849 m, then flows down the surrounding mountains to the waterfall top at 350 +/-. The waterfall consists of 3 staggered drops down to 270 +/-.</p><br>
<p>It continues through the valley and joins the river Avonmore at Laragh. It is later joined by the river Avonbeg to become the river Avoca and eventually flows into the Irish Sea at the coastal town called Arklow.</p><br>
<h2>Valley</h2><br>
<p>The valley was carved out during the last glacial period called the quaternary glaciation or Ice Age, which dates from 2.58 Ma (million years ago) to present. The Military Road joining Sally Gap to Laragh passes through the valley running parallel to the river.</p><br>
<p>The Lewis S. Hills House at 425 East 100 South in Salt Lake City, Utah is a Classical Revival style house that was built c. 1905. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<p>The house is significant for its association with Lewis S. Hills, a financier who, among other activities, served as bank president of Deseret National Bank. This house "represents the zenith of Hills&#39; career, having been constructed while he was bank president", and was his home until his 1915 death. Two other houses in Salt Lake City and the area, including the NRHP-listed Lewis S. Hills House (126 S. 200 West), also are associated with Hills. The 425 East 100 South house is also significant architecturally as "an excellent local example of the Victorian Eclectic style and as one</p><br>
<p>of the few remaining houses in this East First South neighborhood, which was a</p><br>
<p>fashionable residential area during the late nineteenth and early twentieth</p><br>
<p>centuries."</p><br>
<p>The listing included two contributing buildings.</p><br>
<p>The Jonathan C. and Eliza K. Royle House, at 635 East 100 South in Salt Lake City, Utah, is an Italianate style house that was built in 1875. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>It is significant both as "one of the finest examples of the Italianate style in Salt Lake City" and as the home of prominent citizens Jonathan C. and Eliza K. Royle. Jonathan Royle was a mining attorney, while his wife Eliza was president of the citys Ladies Literary Club; both were otherwise active socially. According to the National Register nomination, their residence "was one of the earliest high style houses constructed along First South", which became "a prestigious residential area" in the late nineteenth century. It is one of only two frame-style Italianate houses known in the city.</p><br>
<p>Douglass Houghton Falls is Michigans tallest waterfall at 110 ft from the top where Hammel Creek cascades to its base.Named after Vietnam war veteran Douglas Houghton son of Byrel Noah Houghton born in Muskegon, MI It is located in Michigans Upper Peninsula between Laurium and Lake Linden just off Highway M-26. Access to this private waterfall is restricted due to its dangerous geological makeup. The waterfall is situated in a deep gorge that is flanked by sharp loose rock. Multiple deaths have been reported at this location; the most recent one was in September 2011 Douglass Houghton for whom Douglass Houghton Falls is named was Michigan&#39;s first geologist.</p><br>
<p>Douglas Houghton Falls is currently projected to open as a Michigan state park. Purchasing has been approved by Rick Snyder and is underway by the State of Michigan.</p><br>
<p>The Harilaq fortress , is situated on top of the hill known by the local toponomy as the Gradina – Harilaq, set in an elevated and dominant position, west from the Ariljača village. The fortress is located in an altitude of maximum 766 metres above sea level, and is approximately sited 9 km southeast from the town of Kosovo Polje and only 2 kilometres west from Pristina International Airport "Adem Jashari". The total surface of the fortress, also counting the circular walls/ ramparts, measures around 1.3 hectares of the inner space of the stronghold. The archaeological excavations at this site were conducted in several seasons, commencing in 2005 and were carried out systematically until 2010 by the staff of the Museum of Kosovo, particularly the Archaeological Institute of Kosovo. Nonetheless, several conservations and consolidations of the circuit walls were done in order to preserve the remains. During the five archaeological seasons works, numerous remains and foundations of sacral, profane and utilitarian buildings were discovered. In regard, the entire outer sides of the rampart with towers at the axes were unearthed, as well as a church with three naves and a Saskrity are discovered, but also two almost identical structures in a rounded shape of an unknown sacral complex has been uncovered, as well. On the other hand, vast movable archaeological material composed of: metal made working tools, jewelry, coins, bricks, glass fragments and architectural structures, all clear indications that pinpoint to the Late Antique date and especially typical for the Justinian Period. Also, at this fortress traces of prehistoric periods have been evidenced, especially emphasizing the metal periods, but it continued to exist all through antiquity and up to the Medieval Period. Discovered and recorded findings from this site of excavations from 2005–2008 were presented at the International Conference on Illyria: Illyri Meridionale et lEpire dans l&#39;antiquite, Act du V colloque internacional de Grenoble, 8–11 octobre 2008, held in Grenoble, France.</p><br>
<h2>Introduction</h2><br>
<p>The Harilaq castle differs from other fortifications of this period, not only within Kosovo but throughout the Central Balkans. This stronghold enters in the group of castles and fortifications reconstructed and constructed in Dardania (61 reconstructed and 8 constructed), by the byzantine emperor of Dardanian origin Justinian the Great (527–565 AD), recorded in the written work by the byzantine historian of the 6th century, Procopius, on his book De Aedificiis – On Buildings.</p><br>
<p>The fortress differs from the other castles for the construction of the curtain wall, for interior architectural structures and binding material used. Situated on top of a hill, like most castles from this period in the region, it controls a large landscape view over a large area of Kosovo, seeing clearly portions of the Municipalities of: Fushe Kosove, Prishtinë, Obiliq, Lipjan, Ferizaj, Shtime and Drenas. Besides toponyms known to local population, as the castle or the Upper Gradina, there is identified a large concentration of stones and bricks, unusual for the locals&#39; tradition of contemporary constructions, which were taken and used by residents of the area, presenting clear indications of the existence of a castle in the village of Harilaq.</p><br>
<p>This castle, with its rampart, interior architectural objects, is incomparable and has no analogy with other castles throughout the central Balkans, be it architectural constructions, and also for their function and destination, being that some structures are still a mystery as to what they functioned for and how they were used. Harilaq Castle presents the most excavated area, compared to castles of the same period in Kosovo.</p><br>
<h2>Geographic Position</h2><br>
<p>The Castle is located about 9 kilometers to the south-west of Fushe Kosova, and about 16 kilometers south-west of Pristina. It is located on a forested hillock, at the highest isohypse and occupies an area of approx. 1.3 hectares. It does not have a regular geometric shape. On the west side, it connects with the Golesh hill, which commands the highest above sea level altitude of 1019 meters, while on the south-east, only 2.5 kilometers away is the Prishtina Airport. It has a mainly flat area on the south east, slightly elevated towards the north-west. The Fort possesses a unique geostrategic position, with the maximum altitude of 767 m above sea level and minimum of 736 m, from where can be controlled a large area of the Kosovo Field.</p><br>
<p>Before archaeological excavations started, there were no traces of the fortified rampart and of the interior architectural structures, which had been covered by soil and dense and diverse vegetation.</p><br>
<h2>The history of archaeological excavations</h2><br>
<p>The first archaeological trial trenches and test excavations were undertaken by the Archaeological Institute of Kosovo in 2005 and were a product of visits preceded by archaeological results of preliminary archaeological reconnaissance, during which are obtained indications of the existence of walls and architectural objects I this realm. Following the results obtained from these excavations survey, they were continued in 2006–2010 by the Museum of Kosova led by Fatmir Peja, head of Archaeology Sector at the Museum of Kosovo. During the survey and excavation expeditions there were detected: rampart, architectural object inside the wall and a considerable amount of movable archaeological inventory.</p><br>
<h2>Discovered architectural objects</h2><br>
<p>During the archaeological excavation expeditions of 2005–2010, except the rampart, there were discovered distinctive architectural objects which are specific to this castle only, as: the variety of building techniques, the shape of the rampart, and interior objects, which for now, are unique. In the absence of analogy with any other castles discovered in the central Balkans, their exact destination cannot be determined. These objects are characterized in a closed environment, also by the binding material of masonry that is used: mortar composed of lime and river sand, sand mixed with lime and crushed bricks, which dominate as plaster in certain locations, and mud. The Harilaq Fortress is built on the remain of an earlier prehistoric settlement, attested by the archaeological findings.</p><br>
<p>The Goldfield Mountains of Arizona are located adjacent to the Superstition Mountains, between Usery Pass and Canyon Lake . They are less known because of the Superstition Mountains, which are taller and more visible, and contain Canyon Lake , which is a huge historic site. The southern part of the Goldfield Mountains used to be a big mining district in 1893.</p><br>
<p>Even though the mining is done, the Goldfield Mountains are still a treasure themselves. These mountains are now big for hiking.</p><br>
<h2>Hiking</h2><br>
<p>The hiking in these mountains is for very advanced hikers. There are no trails on the higher parts of the mountains. The only kinds of trails offered in these mountains are the dirt roadways that were created for miners and ranchers. If someone gets lost, they can easily find their way out. The Goldfield Mountains are pretty compact and if you follow south, you will find the Arizona State Route 88.</p><br>
<p>When by a river and lost, if you go north, Saguaro Lake (Arizona) will appear. While hiking in these mountains, having a compass and plenty of water is very important.</p><br>
<h2>Vegetation and Wildlife</h2><br>
<p>The vegetation zone in the Goldfield Mountains is the Arizona Upland subdivision of the Sonoran Desert, which is also called the saguaro-palo verde forest. Wildlife in these mountains is part of the upper Sonoran ecosystem.</p><br>
<p>These mountains are part of the Tonto National Forest. They contain the trees of palo verde, mesquite, ironwood, desert willow, and catclaw. There are shrubs of ocotillo, saltbush, creosote bush, jojoba, agave, and hackberry. There are also many different kinds of cacti present there. Saguaros are plentiful and so are the pencil cholla cacti.</p><br>
<p>Many different kinds of animals and wildlife creatures have been spotted in the Goldfield Mountains. There have been deer, javelin, foxes, coyotes, roadrunners, red-tailed hawks, bald eagles, and desert tortoises. There are smaller species in these mountains that are protected. These species are: gila monsters and smaller lizards, rattlesnakes and smaller snakes, ground squirrels, tarantulas, centipedes, and horned toads.</p><br>
<p>The Ladies Literary Club Clubhouse, at 850 East South Temple St. in Salt Lake City, Utah, was built in 1913. It was designed by noted architects Treganza & Ware in Prairie School style.</p><br>
<p>The club was founded in 1877 and is the oldest women&#39;s club in the United States west of the Mississippi River.</p><br>
<p>Its first president was Mrs. Eliza Kirtley Royle, whose 1875-built home is also NRHP-listed.</p><br>
<p>The Clubhouse was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<p>In 2013, the Ladies donated the building to the Utah Heritage Foundation, a non-profit whose mission is to preserve, protect and promote Utah&#39;s historic built environment. UHF accepted the stewardship with plans to renovate the property and use it as a community event center.</p><br>
<p>The foundation ran the Ladies Literary Club for public use for two years before listing it for sale or lease last January, 2015 hosting hundreds of cultural, performing, and private events that exposed</p><br>
<p>several thousand new people to this architectural landmark.</p><br>
<p>In April 22, 2016, that cultural legacy continued as the Utah Heritage Foundation sold the property to, of Salt Lake City-a group of millennial visual artists and entrepreneurs.</p><br>
<p>Terms of the sale were</p><br>
<p>not disclosed, but a Preservation Easement, was recorded to protect the</p><br>
<p>historic character of the building’s unique interior and exterior.</p><br>
<p>Utah Heritage Foundation’s Board of Trustees decided to seek a new steward for the building and it was</p><br>
<p>listed for lease or sale in January 2015. Several proposals for reusing the building were made but the</p><br>
<p>Board of Trustees is pleased that the proposal by Photo Collective Studios was the one that ultimately</p><br>
<p>succeeded. “Photo Collective Studios presented us with an inspiring story and have a passion for</p><br>
<p>preserving the arts and creativity of Salt Lake City,” stated Janis Bennion, Chair of the Board of Trustees.</p><br>
<p>“We believe their passion extends to the preservation of architecture and the stories that lay in these</p><br>
<p>places as well,” said Kirk Huffaker, Executive Director for Utah Heritage Foundation. “Given their</p><br>
<p>business focus and connection with the creative community, their stewardship of the Ladies’ Literary</p><br>
<p>Club presented a unique opportunity to foster an ongoing collaboration that allows the building to be</p><br>
<p>utilized and accessed by the public, and to continue the legacy and ideals of the Ladies’ Literary Club for</p><br>
<p>cultural enrichment.”</p><br>
<p>After renovations to the Ladies Literary Club, the directors pay tribute to its past by renaming the historic venue the</p><br>
<p>April-Oct 2016, ClubhouseSLC underwent minor and major renovations including refinishing original hardwood floors throughout.</p><br>
<p>Warren Hill is the elevated part of Hengistbury Head in Dorset, England, overlooking Christchurch to the North and dominating Poole Bay to the West. With finds stretching back over 10,000 years, it is a site of international importance in terms of its archaeology and is scheduled both as an Ancient Monument, and a Local Nature Reserve. The head and its surroundings form part of the Christchurch Harbour Site of Special Scientific Interest. Wind-pruned hummocks of heather cover the plateau of the hill, which is accessible to walkers all year round providing excellent views of the surrounding area, as well as an interesting heathland ecosystem for students of nature.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Hengistbury Head head site is archaeologically important and has been used by mankind for a long time stretching from the Paleolithic to the present day where the site is visited by over a million people a year. Warren Hill has a variety of remains and features dating from around 10,000 BC until Roman times. The hill&#39;s commanding view of the surroundings, coupled with an array of varied habitats nearby, provide the area with qualities appealing to both prehistoric and modern man.</p><br>
<p>Ploughing of Warren Hill in 1913, revealed thousands of flint implements covering the entire Stone Age period. Of particular archaeological interest were several blades typically found at Upper Paleolithic sites across Europe, but rarely seen outside of caves in the UK, where open-air sites of such age are extremely rare. Much of the Head has been lost over the years due to the effects of sea, weather, and the removal of many "doggers" (ironstone boulders), causing the loss of several bloomery hearths and a Mesolithic campsite.</p><br>
<h2>Flora and fauna</h2><br>
<p>Warren Hill provides an important heathland habitat covered by the United Kingdom Biodiversity Action Plan. The hill immediately overlooks Withybed Wood, itself an important ecosystem and migratory point. The plateau is dominated by ling (common heather), with heather-bell found in the drier soils and cross-leaved heath in wetter areas. Dwarf gorse and tormentil give the area a touch of extra colour. Sundews, carnivorous plants that supplement their diet by trapping and devouring insects, can be observed in the boggy areas.</p><br>
<p>Meadow pipit and skylark thrive there. There are typically five breeding pairs of skylark and nine pairs of meadow pipit as well as three pairs of Dartford warbler. The area is home to the nocturnal violet ground beetle, and the powerful daytime predator, the green tiger beetle. Along with spiders, the beetles of Warren Hill provide visiting birds with a regular source of food. Exposed sandy areas attract burrowing sand wasps and other mining species such as the nationally scarce nomad bee, the large velvet ant and the cuckoo bee. The adder and the common lizard also have established populations up on the hill.</p><br>
<p>Civitas Popthensis was an ancient Roman-Berber city located in the present-day Henchir Kssiba area in the municipality of Ouled Moumen in Souk Ahras Province, Algeria. The word "civitas" is derived from the Latin civis , meaning that the city was a politically autonomous city-state.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The history of the site goes back to the Punic and Numidian periods. The findings in the ruins of the ancient city testifies of a cultural diversity of the city influenced as well by Berbers, Carthaginians and mainly by Romans.</p><br>
<p>The inscriptions that have been found are in three ancient languages, Latin, Libyan, and Punic. Epigraphy reflects particular local cults to Ba&#39;al Hammon (equivalent to Roman Saturn) and Mercury.</p><br>
<p>Initially the "Civitas Popthensis" was probably a big village at the centre of an opulent agricultural land with cereal, olive growing, as many presses and livestock have been found in and out of the city. Not far from major trade routes, the city organized the local exchanges between the people of the plain and those of the mountains. Civitas Popthensis was located at the foot of the "Alpes Numidicae" and near the present border between Tunisia and Algeria</p><br>
<p>Its period of maximum prosperity seems to be at the beginning of the 3rd century, under emperor Septimius Severus. From the area ruins and the evaluation of the flow of water, Julien Guey, a French archeologist, estimated the population of the agglomeration around 10,000 and 12,000 inhabitants. Civitas Popthensis had huge Roman baths and probably a Roman theater.</p><br>
<p>Paul Monciaux found a Christian epitaph of the beginning on the fifth century, that shows the importance of Christianity in the city when was under the influence of Saint&#39;Augustine. Christianity remained dominant until the arrival of the Arabs, who destroyed the city at the end of the seventh century.</p><br>
<p>However the history of the city is still not explored; furthermore 80% of this legacy is still buried under the Earth: Serious excavations are needed to illuminate the past of this city.</p><br>
<h2>Discovery</h2><br>
<p>The exact name of the ancient city remained unknown until 1917 where the finding of an official inscription commemorating the building of a temple to Saturn, helped prove that this city was the "Civitas Popthensis".</p><br>
<p>Excavations in the 1930s resulted in the foreground the religious history of the city by finding a sacred area and 47 steles dedicated to Saturn. Excavations carried out by Julien Guey in the thermal baths in 1936 also allowed to find many Latin inscriptions. The baths were built in large unit and included well-preserved latrines. In 1930, an epitaph dedicated to a cleric named Rogatianus was discovered in the necropolis of the city.</p><br>
<p>The James Merrill House is a 19th-century house at 107 Water Street in Stonington Borough in southeastern Connecticut, formerly owned by poet James Merrill. Upon his death in 1995, the house was kept by the village as a home for writers and scholars.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The American poet James Merrill and his partner David Jackson moved to the borough of Stonington, Connecticut, in 1954, purchasing a property at 107 Water Street. It had once been a nineteenth-century residential and commercial structure that had first served as a drug store and a residence for the owner&#39;s family. Merrill spent summers in Stonington borough until his death in 1995. Village life and the apartment itself inspired some of his most important work, including The Changing Light at Sandover, his book-length epic poem based on Merrill’s and Jackson’s communications with the spirit world by means of a Ouija board in the turret dining room on the third floor.</p><br>
<p>After James Merrill’s death in 1995, the Stonington Village Improvement Association (SVIA) transformed the Jackson and Merrill apartments into a place for writers to live and work. A group of Stonington residents and friends of Merrill began a program that would make the apartment available, rent-free, to writers and scholars for academic-year residencies. The Merrill apartment looks much the way Merrill left it – the personally eclectic décor remains as it was two decades ago. In the years since Merrill&#39;s death, over thirty writers have used this space as a residence and retreat.</p><br>
<p>The house is usually occupied by just one writer at a time, for stays of one or two semesters.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 28, 2013 and designated a National Historic Landmark on October 31, 2016.</p><br>

<p>Ramberget  is a mountain on Hisingen island in Gothenburg, Sweden. The surrounding area and park is called Keillers Park. Ramberget is a popular tourist attraction and a place for outdoor recreation for Gothenburg residents, with walking paths, lookouts over the city of Gothenburg and artworks. Ramberget is with its highest point 87 metres  above sea level, with a lower second point called Ättestupan. There is a road for cars going to the top of Ramberget. The park is about 31 hectares.</p><br>
<p>Ramberget got its characteristic shape already during the Ice Age 12,000 years ago. The northeast slope is flat while the south side has a higher cliff that is clearly visible from the river. The ice sheet has left traces both in the rock faces and through boulders in the area. Ramberget got its name of the old Swedish word "ram" which means raven. Ravens are still nesting on Ramberget.</p><br>
<p>Until the early 1800s, when it wood was still widely used as fuel, there was no trees on Ramberget which instead was covered with heather, later replanting made the wood grow back and today there is a lush vegetation of beech, larch, pine and oaks.</p><br>
<p>Most of the north shore of the river, including the area around Ramberget, was owned in the early 1900s by the Keiller family. Alexander Keiller, who came to Gothenburg from Scotland, had in the 1840s started a mechanical workshop that would later evolve into shipbuilding group Götaverken. During the recession of the 1860s, however, the company went into bankruptcy and after reorganization was Alexanders son James Keiller new manager. After some setbacks, including a severe fire in 1898, so James decided to pull back from the shops. 1906, he sold almost all of the business and in the same time he donated the area around Ramberget to the city, with the condition that the area would be used and remain a natural park. The deed of gift is that only buildings that are "for the parks care or the visiting public homelike" may be erected, with the exception of water reservoirs.</p><br>
<p>Keiller Park was designed in a National Romantic style, partly by Eugen Thorburn who also designed Kungsportsbron in central Gothenburg. The park was inaugurated Oct. 3, 1908.</p><br>
<p>The Göteborg Mosque is located at the foot of Ramberget.</p><br>
<p>The Siletz Agency Site, also known as Government Hill, is a historic site and park located in Siletz, Oregon, United States. Beginning in 1855, USA Army forcibly relocated over 2,600 people of several different tribes to the Siletz Reservation. The USA government established an Indian agency at Siletz in 1857. Within 30 years, hardship had reduced the Indian numbers to approximately 600. By the time the agency closed in 1925, it had grown to include a blockhouse, boarding house, schoolhouse, barn, office building, several employee residences, hospital/meeting house, and cemetery, several of which have since been destroyed.</p><br>
<p>The site is the most important physical reminder of the tragic history of Indian affairs on the Oregon Coast, and remains a focal point for members of the Siletz tribes. The site was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>
<p>The Harry F. Wentz Studio, also known as the Harry F. Wentz Studio-Bungalow and Studio Neah-Kah-Nie, is a historic house located in the Neahkahnie community near Manzanita, Oregon, United States. Designed by artist Harry F. Wentz and architect A. E. Doyle and built circa 1916, this bungalow came to be regarded as a prototype of the Northwest Regional style of architecture. Some of the characteristic features of the house include: colors and materials associated with the Northwest, especially timber; low massing with simple wall surfaces; porches with slender wooden supports; and siting to harmonize with the surrounding landscape. The style was later more fully developed by John Yeon and Doyle&#39;s colleague Pietro Belluschi.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>
<p>The Stack&#39;s Mountains are a mountain range about seven kilometres northeast of Tralee, along the N69 road in County Kerry in Ireland.</p><br>
<p>The highest peak in the range is Crusline, which is 355 metres high. It is the highest peak in Kerry north of Tralee (higher than Knockanore at 267metres and Maulin at 217 metres). It is also the 189th tallest peak in Munster, and the 507th in Ireland Nearby summits include Ballincollig Hill (353 m), Beennageeha Mountain (321 m), and Stack&#39;s Mountain (Cnoc an Stacaigh; 323 m).</p><br>
<h2>Landscape and nature</h2><br>
<p>The range is characterised by moorland and limited open pasture, with 4,700 hectares of young coniferous forest plantations of mainly Sitka spruce – with Japanese larch, pines, firs and cedars, along with some broadleaved trees such as birch, ash, alder, oak, willow, sycamore, and holly – most managed by the forest management company, Coillte.</p><br>
<p>The local conifer forests, open heather moors, and grassland are habitats for fauna such as the hen harrier, Irish hare, red fox, red grouse, snipe, cuckoo, and meadow pippit. The neighbouring Glanaruddery Mountains to the southeast are divided from the Stack&#39;s Mountains by the valley of the Smearlagh River.</p><br>
<h2>Energy resources</h2><br>
<p>The peat company, Bord na Móna, extracted about 250,000 tons of turf from Lyracrumpane Bog between 1938 and 1963. Nowadays, turf is harvested by local people under turbary arrangements, using hopper machines instead of the traditional slane. There are also wind farms on Stack&#39;s Mountain and Ballincollig Hill.</p><br>
<h2>Recreation</h2><br>
<p>The Lyracrumpane Development Association in cooperation with Coillte have created the four-mile "Mass Path and River Walk" along the banks of the Smearlagh River, and the ten mile "Fionn MacCumhaill" trek through open countryside and Coillte forest plantations.</p><br>
<p>The seven-mile Smearlagh River, which is a tributary of the River Feale, is formed in the Stack&#39;s Mountains and Glanaruddery Mountains from the Broghane Stream, Dromaddamore River, Glashoreag River, and Lyracrumpane River. The Smearlagh meets the Feale at Inchymagilleragh, three miles east of Listowel, where the confluence is known as "The Joinings". The Smearlagh is a swift river that provides good salmon and sea trout fishing.</p><br>
<p>Smiths Lake, an intermittently closed youthful saline coastal lagoon, is located within the Mid-Coast Council local government area in the Mid North Coast region of New South Wales, Australia. Smiths Lake is located adjacent to the village of Smiths Lake, and adjacent to the east coast, about 274 km north of Sydney.</p><br>
<h2>Features and location</h2><br>
<p>Drawing its catchment from within Wallingat National Park and the Wamwarra and Tarbuck creeks, Smiths Lake has a relatively small catchment area of 28 km&sup2; and a surface area of 10 km&sup2;. When full, Smiths Lake covers an area of around 1,300 hectare.</p><br>
<p>Part of the lake shore is a sandbar that separates the lake from the Tasman Sea. When the Mid-Coast Council deems that the lake water level is too high and may cause flooding to low-lying areas around the lake, a trench is constructed from the lake to the ocean using a bulldozer. This releases water from the lake into the ocean and considerably lowers the lake water level.</p><br>
<p>Due to the nature of Smiths Lake being a coastal dune lake, or coastal lagoon, it was featured in an American documentary about conservation done by producer Elam Stoltzfus.</p><br>
<p>The most northern of the Ramsar-protected Myall Lakes are located close to the south of Smiths Lake. However, Smiths Lake does not connect nor is formally part of the Myall Lakes. The southern part of Smiths Lake also forms the northern boundary of the Myall Lakes National Park.</p><br>
<p>Within Smiths Lake there are three islands; Big Island, Little Island, and Bull Island.</p><br>
<p>Gondrani, also known as Shehr-e-Roghan, is an archaeological site near the town of Bela in Balochistan, Pakistan.There is a village of Siyan, tribe named goth Siyan.</p><br>
<h2>Alternate names</h2><br>
<p>The town is also known as the Cave City of Lasbella, the Cave Dwellings of Gondrani, the House of the Spirits,</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>The site is 20 km to the north of the ancient town of Bela and 175 km from Karachi, in Lasbella District of Balochistan.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The exact history of the town is not known, nor who built the caves. Historians believe that the town was once a large Buddhist monastery dating back to the eighth century, when the region was part of a Buddhist kingdom. André Wink in his book Early Medieval India and the Expansion of Islam: 7th-11th Centuries states that:</p><br>
<p>According to another source, Journal of the Society for South Asian Studies, the site cannot be conclusively linked to Buddhist heritage, though it does show Buddhist characteristics:</p><br>
<p>The Geographical Journal agrees that the caves are of Buddhist origin:</p><br>
<h2>Gondrani caves</h2><br>
<p>The caves of Gondrani, locally known as Puraney Ghar (پرانے گھر), are carved into solid conglomerate rocks at several levels, and are connected by pathways. All the caves have small rooms with hearths and wall niches for lamps, along with verandahs or front porches.</p><br>
<p>During British rule, around 1500 caves were reported, but now only 500 remain. The caves are in poor condition and are slowly eroding. No conservation efforts have been made to protect the site because of poor accessibility and lack of knowledge of the archaeological site.</p><br>
<h2>Legends</h2><br>
<p>Many local legends are associated with the town. One relates the story of a king and his daughter, named Badiul Jamal, during the reign of king Solomon, who was haunted by demons. Many heroes came to free her and failed, but eventually Prince Saif-ul-Muluk killed the demons and freed her. According to another legend, the demons and evil spirits inhabiting the mountain would torment and feed on the flesh of the people of Gondrani. An old holy woman named Mai Balochani or Mai Balochani sacrificed herself to kill the demons and free the town people. In another version, the pious lady exorcised the town and lived there until her death. The woman is buried nearby; her burial place is a well-known local shrine.</p><br>
<p>The Draper-Steadman House  is a historic house located at 13518 South 1700 West in Riverton, Utah.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Constructed in 1894, its NRHP nomination asserted that, "the house is architecturally significant as one</p><br>
<p>of the best examples of the Victorian Eclectic style in Riverton and as a rare</p><br>
<p>example of the double cross-wing house type." Also on the property is one contributing building, originally used as a privy and built from the same bricks as the main house. There are other non-contributing structures on the property, some of which were apparently destroyed by fire sometime in the late 1970s.</p><br>
<p>The people for whom the house is named are Josiah Draper, the original owner of the house, James Steadman, a subsequent owner who constructed two additions to the house, and Vernon H. Morgan, who purchased the house from James Steadman.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 21, 1992.</p><br>
<p>Lake Reed has an irregular circular shape and is on the south side of Winter Haven, Florida. It has a surface area of 16.91 acre and is bordered on the west side and during times of high water is connected to small oval-shaped body of water on its west side. The lake is very swampy along its entire shore. It is bordered to the north and northeast by Eloise Loop Road, on the west by pastures and on the southeast and south by the gated Terranova residential community.</p><br>
<p>There are no public swimming areas and there are no boat ramps, public or private. In fact, there is no public access to this lake. It is fenced along Eloise Loop Road. The Hook and Bullet website, however, says Lake Reed contains largemouth bass, bluegill and crappie.</p><br>
<p>The Thomas M. Baldwin House is a historic house located in Prineville, Oregon, United States. It is noted for its association with Baldwin, as well as for its architectural values.</p><br>
<p>Thomas M. Baldwin (1854–1919) was one of the most prominent bankers in Prineville during the first decades of the 20th century, a period during which Crook County and Central Oregon prospered. By 1917 he rose to be president of the First National Bank, the oldest bank in the region. Baldwin had this impressive Colonial Revival house built in 1907, and lived in it through the height of his career. The house, designed by the firm of prominent Portland architect John V. Bennes, is the best designed and finished house of its style in Prineville.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>
<p>The John Day Compound, Supervisors Warehouse is a complex of work buildings, employee residences, and related infrastructure owned an operated by the Malheur National Forest in John Day, Oregon, United States. Built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1936–1946, it is the headquarters for field operations in the national forest and is typical of projects carried out by the CCC on behalf of the Forest Service. It represents that eras shift in the Forest Service&#39;s architectural vision toward comprehensive site planning, as well as its policy evolution from custodial superintendence of the national forests toward active natural resource management.</p><br>
<p>The complex was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<p>The Huallanca mountain range ; name of several localities and name of a mountain in the Huallanca range), Chaupi Janca ", Chaupijanca, Chawpi Hanka) or Shicra Shicra  lies in the Andes of Peru. It is located in the Ancash Region, Bolognesi Province. The Huallanca mountain range is a small range southeast of the Cordillera Blanca and north of the Huayhuash mountain range extending between 9°52 and 10°03S and 76°58 and 77°04W for about 19 km in a northeasterly direction.</p><br>

<p>The Gardner Mill, at 1100 West 7800 South in West Jordan, Utah, was built in 1877 and is the focal point of today&#39;s Gardner Village. It includes Greek Revival, and Federal architecture and has also been known as West Jordan Mill. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>It is historically significant for association with Archibald Gardner, a Scottish immigrant and pioneer builder of more than 30 flour mills, sawmills, and other mills in Utah and Wyoming, as well as having built canals, roads, and dams.</p><br>
<p>The current Gardner Mill was a replacement of an earlier one, and included Federal architecture styling. It is the only surviving mill in Utah that is documented to be one of Gardner&#39;s works.</p><br>
<p>Other NRHP-listed or -nominated mills in Utah include: Isaac Chase Mill, Salt Lake County; Joseph Wall Gristmill, Sevier County; E. T. Benson Mill, Tooele County; Huntington Roller Mill, Emery County; Bicknell Gristmill, Wayne County; and the Burch-Taylor Mill (formerly listed), Weber County.</p><br>
<p>The mill and surrounding buildings have been turned into a shopping center called Gardner Village. The mill itself houses a restaurant and a furniture store.</p><br>
<p>Tredion Castle is located in Tredion in the French department of Morbihan.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Built in 1350, Tredion manor belonged to the Dukes of Brittany. The vast forests that surround it made it a favourite meeting place for hunters. Great names have owned the Tredion estate over the centuries. Amongst them, the Malestroits, Jean IV de Rieux, the Marquis de Nesle, Guy-Paul de Coligny, the Princess of Salm, Pierre II de Sérent, Charles Fouquet in 1683, distant relative of the intendant Fouquet, who was at the origin of the legend of the Treasure of Tredion that was said to be buried at the foot of an oak tree... A series of bourgeois and lesser nobility then owned the castle.</p><br>
<p>Tredion castle was host to illustrious owners during this period, but even more illustrious guests were to follow. King François I who on 9 August 1518 dined and stayed in the "Castle" for one night, before travelling the next day to Vannes, at the time a "Small City of 9,000 souls". The Queen mother "Catherine de&#39;Medici" regent of the Kingdom of France and hostess of the Coligny family, stayed in the castle for at least two weeks in May 1570 (two letters written from Tredion testify to this fact).</p><br>
<p>On 21 July 1834, Hippolyte du Fresne of Virel acquired Tredion Castle and its land. In 1840 he built a "furnace" to make cast iron objects, and undertook restoration works making transform the manor into a "Castle".</p><br>
<p>In 1977, the estate was sold by the heirs of Virel to Guy Turpin, a property developer in Vannes. Large-scale renovation works were undertaken, both in the castle and in the gardens, and are still in progress to this day.</p><br>
<h2>Park and gardens</h2><br>
<p>The gardens designed in 19th century around the year 1820, with their irregular central path, artificial river, cascade, pond, lake and kitchen garden and orchard are listed in the pre-inventory of remarkable gardens.</p><br>
<p>The Benjamin and Olivia Meek House is a historic house located at 12782 South Fort Street in Draper, Utah.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The 2-1/2 story house was built in about 1898. According to its 2001 NRHP nomination, the house is significant "as one of only four</p><br>
<p>remaining eligible central-block houses, two-stories or taller and all located on this street, remaining in Draper, Utah,", for its Victorian style representing prosperity in Draper, and for its association with the Nielson family (Olivia Meek&#39;s family) that was important and successful in sheep and cattle raising in Draper.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 29, 2001. The listing included two contributing buildings and one other contributing structure.</p><br>
<p>Pirámide , also Pirámide de Garcilaso or Pirámide de Garcilazo, is a mountain in the Cordillera Blanca in the Andes of Peru, about 5,885 m high. It is located in the Ancash Region, Huaylas Province, Caraz District as well as in the Yungay Province, Yanama District. Pirámide lies inside Huascarán National Park, southeast of Caraz and Artesonraju and north of Chacraraju, at the very end of the Lake Parón valley.</p><br>
<h2>Climbing</h2><br>
<p>There are no easy routes on this mountain. The normal route is rated between D and TD (depending on conditions) and develops on the northwest face. From a camp at 4,800 m at the east of Lake Parón, ascent is via the glacier to a spot suitable for camping at the base of the face at 5,400 m. Climb 60° ice couloirs and snow of the fluted northwest face. The climb takes one day return to the glacier for a competent and trained party. The mountain once had a reputation for extreme difficulty but it is easier today with the advent of modern techniques and equipment. The only route climbed with relative frequency is the northwest face; two other routes exist but are very seldom climbed.</p><br>
<p>Southwest face (23 July 1979 by R. Renshaw and D. Wilkinson). The route starts from a base camp at the east of Lake Parón, follows the crest of the moraine and goes right rocks to the glacier, Once the bergschrund is passed, the routes involve climbing snow and mixed ground steep 60° and a final section at 80°. The final pitch gives access to a 55-65° snow and ice slope leading to the summit cornices. Those can be avoided on the right. The climb requires 10–12 hours from the base of the face. Descent is usually performed abseilling the northwest face.</p><br>
<p>West ridge (8 September 1978 by M.Kulig and R. Pawlowski). A very challenging route, taking three days. The approach is the same as for the southwest face but the climb goes directly up the ridge and involves hazardous climbing on snow mushrooms at the summit.</p><br>
<p>Hardown Hill  is a hill between Ryall and Morcombelake in the county of Dorset, England. It rises west of the South Dorset Downs, close to the Dorset coast, and overlooks the Marshwood Vale to the north. Its prominence qualifies it as one of Dorsets four Marilyns and it is listed as one of the "top 12 Dorset views to take your breath away" by Dorsets official tourist website.</p><br>
<p>The hill lies about 6 kilometres west of Bridport and about 500 metres north of the A 35 road. It is not nearly as well known as its southern extremity, Golden Cap, which is a spectacular bluff on the coast, 2 kilometres to the south. From the top of the hill, which is owned by the National Trust, there are impressive views that take in Thorncombe Beacon, Chardown Hill, Quarry Hill and Langdon Hill.</p><br>
<p>There is a group of ten barrows, mostly covered in gorse and bracken, about 300 metres north of the summit above the hamlet of Ryall. These barrows are thought to be of disc and bowl form, likely dating to the Bronze Age. Wyatt Wingrave excavated fifteen artefacts dating to the Early Middle Ages in 1916, which he interpreted as the associated objects of an early</p><br>
<p>Anglo-Saxon inhumation burial. No skeletal remains were found, and it is not clear which of the barrows was excavated. Vera Evison later reinterpreted the assemblage as a group of Anglo-Saxon burials that represented secondary interments in a Bronze Age barrow. A recent consideration of the context and a reclassification of the artefacts has cast doubts on the burial interpretation, and has instead interpreted the assemblage as a hoard.</p><br>
<p>Telegraph Hill  is a hill about 1 mile northwest of Minterne Magna and about 10 miles north of Dorchester in the county of Dorset, England. Its prominence qualifies it as one of the so-called HuMPs.</p><br>
<p>There is a transmission mast about 600 metres away on the spur to the northeast at High Stoy. Writing in 1906, Sir Frederick Treves described High Stoy as "the most engaging of all Dorset hills—a hill of 800 feet, made up of green slopes, a cliff, and a mantle of trees." Opposite High Stoy is Dogbury Hill, another bastion of the chalk escarpment.</p><br>
<p>A Franciscan friary lies in the hamlet of Hilfield beneath the hill to the west.</p><br>
<h2>Films</h2><br>
<p>The area of Minterne, Dogbury Hill and High Stoy was the setting for Thomas Hardys novel, The Woodlanders, Minterne House being referred to as Great Hintock House. The 1990s TV film of Hardys Tess of the d&#39;Urbervilles was made on Dogbury Hill.</p><br>
<h2>Sport</h2><br>
<p>Telegraph Hill is a popular paragliding spot.</p><br>
<p>Shatial is a transit station with archaeological significance on Karakoram Highway in Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>Shatial is an important transit station consisting mainly of shops, rest places, and sarais. It is located 60 km west of Chilas in the upper Indus Valley beside the Indus River in Gilgit-Baltistan. Historically it acted as a junction of old routes and byways connecting Swat Valley, Gilgit, Chilas, and Chitral.</p><br>
<h2>Archaeological sites</h2><br>
<p>As a historical crossroads, many traders, Buddhist missionaries, Sogdian merchants, and pilgrims passed through Shatial leaving behind graffiti and inscriptions on the rocks. More than 1000 inscriptions and 700 petroglyphs can be found at the Shatial bridge on the Indus river. Iranian merchants left behind over 550 inscriptions dating from third to seventh centuries in the Sogdian language, Many of these inscriptions are short, consisting of just the names of the travelers, though in some cases names of two or more family members are also mentioned. Many inscriptions also mention a date, possibly of arrival, but it is unknown whether this refers to the date or year of journey. Nanaivandak, a famous merchant from Samarkand who is a subject in Susan Whitfield&#39;s book Life Along the Silk Road, wrote the longest such inscription reading:</p><br>
<p>These Iranian inscriptions are significant in providing insight on the naming traditions of Sogdians of the time as some of these are theophoric referring to Zoroastrian and other deities. Though these inscriptions do not establish an exact date or period, it is believed that most of them belong to the Sasanian period (224–651 AD).</p><br>
<p>Scripts and graffiti in ancient Brahmi and Kharosthi languages are found on the rocks revealing that the place also served as a Buddhist shrine. The Buddhist travelers venerated these inscriptions and artwork, particularly a large triptych with drawings of a stupa and Sibi Jataka.</p><br>
<p>Chalk Bluff was an unincorporated community in Clay County, Arkansas, United States, approximately 2 mi  northwest of St. Francis, Arkansas. The town was formed in the 1820s at the point where the St. Francis River cuts through Crowley&#39;s Ridge from west to east. The name of the community was derived from the white clay bluff created by this crossing. The founder of the community was Abraham Seitz who established and operated a ferry crossing and general store in the area from the 1830 until it was destroyed during the American Civil War. The community occupied a strategic location and was often referred to in the reports of Union and Confederate forces vying for control of Northeast Arkansas during the war. The crossing was the site of several skirmishes, the most significant being the May 1–3, 1863 Battle of Chalk Bluff. The town was abandoned following the Civil War and most residents moved to the new railroad town, St. Francis, Arkansas. The location was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>
<p>The site is now home to the Chalk Bluff Battlefield Park which commemorates the May 1863 battle and to the Chalk Bluff Natural Area.</p><br>
<p>Lambert&#39;s Castle Hill  rises between the villages of Marshwood and Fishpond Bottom in the county of Dorset, England. It is part of the South Dorset Downs and its prominence qualifies it as one of the so-called HuMPs.</p><br>
<p>From the castle there are "spectacular views across the Marshwood Vale". Visible landmarks include: Pilsdon Pen and Lewesdon Hill (Dorset&#39;s county top) to the east, Hardown Hill, Langdon Hill and Golden Cap to the south.</p><br>
<p>In his book, The Highways and Byways of Dorset, Treves writes "Lambert’s Castle is a fine ridge, terminating in a truculent headland distinguished by a clump of fir trees. The view from the summit is maintained by many to be the view of the county. From hence can be seen Portland, the sea breaking on the Chesil Beach, the Fleet, a long stretch of the Devon coast and far inland, the uplands of Wiltshire and Somerset."</p><br>
<p>The hill lies about 7 kilometres east of Axminster and 6 kilometres north of Charmouth. The summit is 210 metres northeast of the trig point.</p><br>
<p>The hill is topped by an Iron Age hill fort, Lambert&#39;s Castle that is around 2,500 years old. The hilltop was used as a racecourse at some stage and was also the site of a fair for over 200 years.</p><br>
<p>Ridgeway Hill  is the third highest point of the Purbeck Hills in the county of Dorset, England and its prominence qualifies it as one of the few HuMPs in the county.</p><br>
<p>The hill lies about 2 1/2 kilometres from Kimmeridge Bay on Dorset&#39;s Jurassic Coast and some 5 kilometres west of Corfe Castle. The hamlet of Steeple lies at its southern foot. Around 4 kilometres to the west is the better-known, but slightly lower, eminence of Povington Hill above the abandoned village of Tyneham. The Lulworth Ranges lie between Ridgeway Hill and the coast.</p><br>
<p>Near the top of the hill is an 18th-century folly known as Grange Arch, built by the former owner of Creech Grange, Denis Bond.</p><br>
<p>There are also good views of Swyre Head on the Jurassic Coast.</p><br>
<p>There is a free car park on the ridgeline about 1 kilometre west of the summit known as Steeple Hill Car Park, from where there are panoramic views of the area.</p><br>
<p>On the eastern spur of the hill is Stonehill Down which is now a nature reserve.</p><br>
<p>The Lauritz Smith House, at 1350 E. 12400 South in Draper, Utah, was built in c.1865. It includes Colonial Revival and Saltbox architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>It is "architecturally important because it represents a rare example of the New England "Saltbox" house in Utah." Saltbox architecture is relatively common in the USA northeast where Mormonism began, but is rare in Utah. The only other known examples at the time of NRHP nomination were the Joseph Beesley House in Provo, the William Skeen House in Plain City, and Hampton&#39;s Ford Stage Station in Bear River.</p><br>
<p>According to the NRHP nomination, "The true saltbox house in New England is characterized by a massive central chimney as well as the shed-like outshut extending out to the rear from the two-story front section. As the type moved into the Midwest and then to Utah it gradually lost the central fireplace in favor of a central-hall and two gable-end chimneys. 2 The Lauritz Smith house in Draper, Utah, built in c.1865, is an example of this "modified" Saltbox type."</p><br>
<p>See also the Lauritz H. and Emma Smith House, also NRHP-listed in Draper.</p><br>
<p>Casiri  is a mountainous complex in the Barroso mountain range in the Andes of Peru, about 5,650 m high. It is located at the border of the Tacna Region, Tacna Province, Palca District and the Tarata Province, Tarata District.</p><br>
<p>The volcano has a height of 1,050 m, a diameter of 5 km and a volume of 7 km3. Four centres are aligned on an east-west trending ridge, presumably formed through a shift in the conduit, with the youngest centre southeast of the ridge. This youngest centre has a summit crater, a western lava dome of possibly dacitic composition and two southbound lava flows showing signs of having been active after the ice ages. A sulfur mine Gloria is associated with the lava flows, and another is found on the northwest side of the volcano. There are no reports of historical activity. This volcano does not appear to be a threat.</p><br>
<p>Rampside Hall is a Grade I listed building in the Rampside area of Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria, England. It is one of only three Grade I listed buildings in the Borough outside of the Furness Abbey complex and dates back to the 17th Century. The building was heavily damaged on 15 February 1865 when a 2.2ML earthquake shook the area, topling three of its famed chimneys, cracking walls and displacing some of them by eight inches.</p><br>
<p>There is evidence of a house on the Rampside Hall site since 1634, however the precise date of construction for the present building is thought to be in the late 17th Century. Rampside Hall is three storeys in height excluding the attic and is of a 5 bay, double-depth plan. Some important original features noted by Historic England include a well in the building&#39;s cellar as well as a large staircase rising all three floors with oak balustrades and handrails.</p><br>
<p>The Fifth and Main Historic District is a collection of adjoining structures and national historic district located on the northeast corner of the intersection of Main and Fifth streets in Joplin, Jasper County, Missouri, United States. This historic district consists of three early 20th century structures: the Christman Building, the Christman Building Annex and the Paramount Building. The Fifth and Main Historic District was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2006. In 2008, it was encompassed by the Joplin Downtown Historic District.</p><br>
<h2>Christman Building</h2><br>
<p>The building was designed by August and Alfred Michaelis and is an example of the Chicago style of curtain-wall architecture. The Christman Dry Goods Company, which was first founded in 1890 by Peter A. Christman and Edmund Bliedung as Christman and Bliedung but renamed Christman Dry Goods Company in 1903, remained in the building until 1954 when R.H. Macy & Co. Inc. purchased the business and all its fixtures from the Christman family, though the Christmans did retain ownership of the building. For a short time Macys operated the store under the Christman name, but within two years they had branded the location with the Macys moniker. On January 8, 1976 Macys closed its Joplin store, leaving the Christman Building vacant for the first time in its 59 year history. The Christman family, who still owned the building, then leased the building and the family name to Gregg Athy and Richard Roberds, both former Macys employees. Athy and Roberds opened the new Christmans Department Store in the building on October 7, 1976, but the business closed after only a few years. Eventually Hugh and Lee Anne Howsman purchased the building to house their Howsmans Office Supply and Furniture Co. Over time Howsmans business plan changed and in 2006 they sold the building to the Matt Miller Co. of Springfield, Missouri, who redeveloped the upper stories into lofts and restored the main floor into an events space.</p><br>
<h2>Christman Building Annex</h2><br>
<h2>Paramount Building</h2><br>
<p>Originally built as the lobby and retail frontage for the Electric Theater in 1912, the Paramount Building at 507-513 South Main Street is a two-story commercial block that has brown brick walls, a concrete foundation and a flat roof. In 1966 and 1967 flat metal sheathing was applied to the front facing upper story to give it a more modern look, but this has since been removed and the front of the structure has been restored to a more original appearance. Originally a large theater auditorium that could seat more than 1,500 was attached to the back of the existing building, but it was demolished in November and December 1965 and the theater lobby was reassigned as a retail space. Prior to the introduction of sound films in the late 1920s, the theater showed silent films and hosted vaudeville acts. In 1930 the theater changed its name from the Electric Theater to the Paramount and ended all silent films and vaudeville acts. In 1926 Wurlitzer Opus organ #1443 was installed in what was then the Electric Theater, but it was later removed and sold.</p><br>
<p>Mount Kaye is a mountain in the Coopracambra National Park, north of the township of Cann River in East Gippsland in Victoria, Australia.</p><br>
<h2>Geology</h2><br>
<p>The Mount Kaye Range is an outcrop of black and white Noorinbee Granodiorite, exposed on slopes and peaks. Small streams draining the range descend 300 m in a series of falls and cascades to the Cann River at the base.</p><br>
<h2>Flora</h2><br>
<p>The area between Mount Kaye and Mount Denmarsh, together with the nearby Back Creek catchment, has high biological significance, containing a large number of rare plants including Long-leaf Bitter pea (Daviesia wyattiana), Tasmanian Waxflower (Philotheca virgata), Genoa Grevillea (Grevillea parvula), Finger Hakea (Hakea dactyloides), Rusty Velvet-bush (Lasiopetalum ferrugineum), New South Wales Pomaderris (Pomaderris ledifolia) and Monkey Mint-bush (Prostanthera walteri). The furthest extent of distribution for many sub-alpine species from Tasmania as well as eastern New South Wales species is reached at the Mount Kaye area.</p><br>
<h2>Access</h2><br>
<p>The nearest sealed road to the mountain is the Monaro Highway which runs along the Cann River valley 4 km to the west. There are four-wheel drive tracks near Mount Kaye, however these are overgrown with difficult stream crossings and are suitable for emergency access only.</p><br>
<p>The Fifth Maine Regiment Community Center is a historic building at 45 Seashore Avenue on Peaks Island, an island neighborhood of Portland, Maine in Casco Bay. It was built in 1888 by American Civil War veterans "as a memorial to their deceased comrades and as a reunion hall for themselves." It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978 and designated a Greater Portland Landmark in 1984. Today it is open as a museum.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Peaks Island, the largest island in Casco Bay, is east of the main Portland peninsula. The Fifth Maine Regiment Community Center is on the south side of the island, facing the channel separating it from Cushing Island.</p><br>
<p>The center is a two-story wood frame structure, 2-1/2 stories in height, with a dormered gable roof and a three-story circular observation tower at one corner. The roof extends down to shelter a porch that encircles the building. The exterior walls are finished in wooden clapboards, with bands of decoratively cut wooden shingles. The structure is built directly on a ledge that slopes down to the shore, where there is a rocky beach.</p><br>
<p>The community center was built in 1888 and is a notable example of a memorial and clubhouse built in the Queen Anne style. It was built on donated land by a fraternal association of veterans of the 5th Maine Volunteer Infantry Regiment, which sought to memorialize its fallen comrades and to provide a space for regular reunions.</p><br>
<p>The building continues to be held by that organization. It is open as a museum of local and Civil War history and events; it also functions as an event space.</p><br>
<p>The law school of Beirut  was a center for the study of Roman law in classical antiquity located in Beirut . It flourished under the patronage of the Roman emperors and functioned as the Roman Empire&#39;s preeminent center of jurisprudence until its destruction in A.D. 551.</p><br>
<p>The law schools of the Roman Empire established organized repositories of imperial constitutions and institutionalized the study and practice of jurisprudence to relieve the busy imperial courts. The archiving of imperial constitutions facilitated the task of jurists in referring to legal precedents. The origins of the law school of Beirut are obscure. The earliest written mention of the school dates to 239, when its reputation had already been established. The school attracted young, affluent Roman citizens, and its professors made major contributions to the Codex of Justinian. The school achieved such wide recognition throughout the Empire that Beirut was known as the "Mother of Laws". Beirut was one of the few schools allowed to continue teaching jurisprudence when Byzantine emperor Justinian I shut down other provincial law schools.</p><br>
<p>The course of study at Beirut lasted for five years and consisted in the revision and analysis of classical juridic texts and imperial constitutions, in addition to case discussions. Justinian took a personal interest in the teaching process, charging the bishop of Beirut, the governor of Phoenicia Maritima and the teachers with discipline maintenance in the school.</p><br>
<p>The schools facilities were destroyed in the aftermath of a massive earthquake that hit the Phoenician coastline. It was moved to Sidon but did not survive the Arab conquest of 635. Ancient texts attest that the school was next to the ancient Anastasis church, vestiges of which lie beneath the Saint George Greek Orthodox Cathedral in Beiruts historic center.</p><br>
<h2>Background</h2><br>
<p>As the guarantor of justice, the Roman emperor was expected to devote substantial amounts of time to judicial matters. He was the chief magistrate whose major prerogative (jus) was the ordering of all public affairs, for which he could demand assistance from anyone at any time.</p><br>
<p>With legal appeals, petitions from subjects and judicial queries of magistrates and governors, the emperors were careful to consult with the jurists (iuris consulti), who were usually secretaries drafted from the equestrian order. From the reign of Augustus (27 BC–AD 14), jurists began compiling organized repositories of imperial edicts (constitutiones), and juristic scholarship became an imperially sponsored function of administration. Every new judicial decision was founded on archived legal precedents and earlier deliberations. The edict repositories and the imperially sponsored juristic scholarship gave rise to the earliest law school system of the Western world, aimed specifically at training professional jurists.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>During the reign of Augustus, Beirut was established under the name Colonia Iulia Augusta Felix Berytus (and granted the status of Ius Italicum) as a colony for Battle of Actium veterans from the fifth Macedonian and the third Gallic legions. It was chosen as a regional center instead of the more prominent Phoenician cities of Tyre and Sidon, which had a history of belligerence against Rome.</p><br>
<p>Beirut was first mentioned in writing as a major center for the study of law in the 239 works of Gregory Thaumaturgus, the bishop of Neo-Caesarea. Other early written sources do not mention when the law school was established, and the date is much debated among modern historians and scholars. Edward Gibbon suggested its founding may have been directed by locally born Emperor Alexander Severus, who reigned during A.D. 222–235; this hypothesis had been supported by Gilles Ménage, a late 17th-century French scholar. Italian jurist Scipione Gentili, however, attributed the school&#39;s foundation to Augustus, while 19th-century German theologian Karl Hase advocated its establishment shortly after the victory at Actium (31 BC). Adolf Friedrich Rudorff dated it to the reign of Hadrian, while Franz Peter Bremer suggested that it opened around 200, based on Thaumaturgus.</p><br>
<p>Theodor Mommsen linked the establishment of the law school in Beirut with the need for jurists, since the city was chosen to serve as a repository for Roman imperial edicts concerning the eastern provinces. After arriving in Beirut, these were translated into Greek, published and archived. This function was first recorded in 196, the date of the earliest constitutions contained in the Gregorian Codex, but the city is thought to have served as a repository since earlier times. The proximity of the repository to the law school allowed the Beiruti jurists to consult archived documents and for students to learn of the most recent imperial decrees—an advantage that the law schools of Caesarea Maritima and Alexandria lacked.</p><br>
<p>The 3rd-century emperors Diocletian and Maximian issued constitutions exempting the students of the law school of Beirut from compulsory service in their hometowns. In the 4th century, the Greek rhetorician Libanius reported that the school attracted young students from affluent families and deplored the school&#39;s instructional use of Latin, which was gradually abandoned in favor of Greek in the course of the century.</p><br>
<p>By the 5th century, Beirut had established its leading position and repute among the Empires law schools; its teachers were highly regarded and played a chief role in the development of juristic learning in the East to the point that they were dubbed "Oecumenical Masters". From 425, the law school of Constantinople became a rival center of law study and was the only school, along with Beiruts, to be maintained after Justinian I closed those of Alexandria, Caesarea Maritima and Athens in 529 because their teachings contradicted with Christian faith.</p><br>
<p>On July 9, 551, the Phoenician coastal cities were devastated by a high-magnitude earthquake. In Beirut the earthquake was followed by a tsunami and a fire that obliterated the city. In the aftermath, 30,000 people lost their lives, including many students from abroad. Justinian allocated funds to rebuild Beirut, and the law school was temporarily moved to the southern Phoenician city of Sidon, pending reconstruction; the best teachers, however, moved to Constantinople. Misfortune hit Beirut again in 560 when a massive fire ravaged the recovering city. The law school was not reopened, and all prospect for its return was abandoned with the Arab conquest in 635.</p><br>
<h2>Academia</h2><br>
<p>The study course at the law school of Beirut was restricted to Roman law; it did not cover the local laws of the province of Phoenicia. Ancient texts provide an idea of the curriculum, the teaching method, the course languages and its duration.</p><br>
<h3>Preparatory studies</h3><br>
<p>Potential students were expected to have undergone grammar, rhetoric and encyclopedic sciences studies. Another prerequisite was the mastery of Greek and Latin, given that the classical juridic references and imperial constitutions used in the teaching program were written in Latin. The aspirants could pursue their preparatory studies in public schools or have private tutors.</p><br>
<h3>Curriculum</h3><br>
<p>Little is known about the Beirut law schools curriculum before the 5th century. The Scholia Sinaitica and the Scholia to the Basilica provide glimpses of the schools teaching method, comparable to the method of rhetoric schools at the time. The lecturer would discuss and analyze juridic texts by adding his own comments, which included references to analogous passages from imperial constitutions or from the works of prominent classical Roman jurists, such as Ulpian. He would then formulate the general legal principles and use these to resolve legal problems inspired from actual, practical cases. This method differed from the scheme of classical times in which the student had to master the law basics before engaging in case studies.</p><br>
<p>Jurisprudence was taught in Latin, even in the law schools of the East, but toward the end of the fourth and the beginning of the 5th century, Latin was supplanted by Greek at Beirut, which was the long-established lingua franca of the eastern territories of the Roman Empire. A similar shift probably occurred at the school of Constantinople at about the same time.</p><br>
<p>The Omnem constitution at the beginning of the Digest is the only source of information about the existing study system in the 5th century until the Justinian reforms of 533. The old program was a four-year course to be completed before the age of 25. The courses were based on the works of Gaius, Ulpian, Papinian and Paulus. Students attended lectures for three years and spent the fourth year in private study of Paulus&#39; Responsa; they had the option to stay for a fifth year to study imperial constitutions. The students of each year were distinguished by special nicknames: first year, Dupondii; second, Edictales; third, Papinianistae; fourth, Lytae.</p><br>
<p>Justinians Omnem constitution fixed the duration of the legal course in the schools of Beirut and Constantinople at five years. The courses consisted of lectures and self-study using materials advanced in his Corpus Juris Civilis, namely the Institutiones (Institutes), Digesta (Digest) and Codex (Code). second-year students were taught the greater part of the Digest, and third-year students had to learn various texts from Papinian and the leges singulares. There were no lectures during the courses fourth year but the pupils studied the remainder of the Digest. Nicknames were still given according to the year of study, but Justinian changed the name of first-year students from the frivolous Dupondii (which means "two pennies") to Iustiniani novi and dubbed fifth-year students Prolytae.</p><br>
<p>At the end of the course, graduands were given certificates allowing them to work as court advocates or in the imperial civil service.</p><br>
<h3>Professorial body</h3><br>
<p>Ancient texts reveal the names and deeds of some of the most notable law professors at the Beirut school. The scarce sources include historical accounts, juridic works, anthologies, ancient correspondences and funerary inscriptions.</p><br>
<p>Antioch-based rhetoric teacher Libanius wrote many letters of correspondence to Domninus the Elder, a 4th-century law school professor. In 360, Libanius invited Domninus to leave Beirut and teach with him at the rhetoric school of Antioch. Domninus apparently declined the offer, since later correspondence to him from Libanius, between 361 and 364, served as recommendations for law school candidates.</p><br>
<p>The most brilliant era of Beirut&#39;s law school, spanning the century between 400 and 500, was known as the era of the "Ecumenical Masters" (Greek: τῆς οἰκουμένης διδάσκαλοι). During this period, a succession of seven highly esteemed law masters was largely responsible for the revival of legal education in the Eastern Roman Empire. The seven revered masters, cited with praise by 6th-century scholars, were Cyrillus, Patricius, Domninus, Demosthenes, Eudoxius, Leontius and Amblichus.</p><br>
<p>Cyrillus was the founder of the ecumenical school of jurists. He is believed to have taught as of or. Styled "the great" due to his reputation as a teacher, he was known for his direct use of ancient sources of law and for interpreting jurists such as Ulpian and Papinian. Cyrillus wrote a precise treatise on definitions that supplied the materials for many important scholia appended to the first and second titles of the eleventh book of the Basilica.</p><br>
<p>Patricius was praised in the third preface of the Justinian Digest (Tanta-Dedoken) as a distinguished professor of the Beirut law school. Archaeological excavations done in Beirut at the turn of the 20th century revealed a funerary monument believed to have belonged to Patricius. The son of Eudoxius, Leontius was described by ecclesiastical historian Zacharias Rhetor, who was his first-year student in 487 or 488, to have a great reputation in the legal field. He was raised to the office of Praetorian prefect of the East under Emperor Anastasius I between 503 and 504, and became Magister militum in 528. Leontius was also involved as a commissioner in the preparation of the first codex of Justinian. His contemporary, Amblichus, wrote a commentary on Ulpian&#39;s Libri ad Edictum.</p><br>
<p>Historical sources also tell of Euxenius, a teacher at the Beirut law school who taught during the times of the "Ecumenical Masters". Euxenius was the brother of the city&#39;s bishop Eustathius and was involved in the 460 religious controversy caused by Timothy Aelurus, which opposed the Miaphysites to the followers of the Council of Chalcedon.</p><br>
<p>Dorotheus, Anatolius (son of Leontius) and Julianus were school professors contemporary to Justinian I. The first two were summoned to the imperial court and commissioned to draft the Digesta. Under the supervision of Tribonian, Dorotheus also collaborated with Theophilus, a Constantinopolitan law teacher, in drafting the Institutiones. Julianus, the last known professor of Beirut&#39;s law school, was extolled by Theaetetus as "the light of the law". After the earthquake, Julianus left Beirut and settled in Constantinople, where he authored the Epitome Iuliani in 555.</p><br>
<p>Under Justinian, there were eight teachers in the law schools of the Byzantine Empire, presumably four in each of Beirut and Constantinoples schools. Justinian mandated the supervision and enforcement of discipline in the school of Beirut to the teachers, the citys bishop and the governor of Phoenicia Maritima.</p><br>
<h3>Notable students</h3><br>
<p>While most of the law school&#39;s students are not remembered by history, ancient historians and sources recount the stories of some of those who were deemed notable and achieved fame.</p><br>
<p>According to Eusebius of Caesarea, Pamphilus of Caesarea was born into a rich family in Beirut in the latter half of the 3rd century and attended its law school. Pamphilus later became the presbyter of Caesarea Maritima and the founder of its extensive Christian library. He is celebrated as a martyr by both the Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church. Eusebius also tells of martyred brothers Aphian and Aedesius, born to a noble Lycian family. They converted to Christianity while studying law in Beirut and were persecuted and executed for their beliefs.</p><br>
<p>Fourth-century historian Eunapius wrote of Anatolius, a high-ranking Roman official known to his enemies as Azutrio. Anatolius occupied the offices of consul of Syria, vicarius of the Diocese of Asia, proconsul of Constantinople, urban prefect of Constantinople in 354, and Praetorian prefect of Illyricum until his death in 360. In his account of Anatolius, Eunapius summarized: "He reached the summit of the science of law. Nothing about this is surprising because Beirut, his homeland, is the mother and nurse of these studies".</p><br>
<p>Libanius correspondence with Gaianus of Tyre discusses the latters achievements after his graduation from the law school of Beirut; Gaianus became the consular governor of Phoenicia in 362.</p><br>
<p>Gazan lawyer and church historian Sozomen, also a law student at Beirut, wrote in his Historia Ecclesiastica about Triphyllius, a convert to Christendom who became the bishop of Nicosia. Triphyllius received juridic training in Beirut and was criticized by his teacher Saint Spyridon for his atticism and for using legal vocabulary instead of that of the Bible.</p><br>
<p>Zacharias Rhetor studied law at Beirut between 487 and 492, then worked as a lawyer in Constantinople until his imperial contacts won him the appointment as bishop of Mytilene. Among Rhetor&#39;s works is the biography of Severus, the last miaphysite patriarch of Antioch and one of the founders of the Syriac Orthodox Church, who had also been a law student in Beirut as of 486. Another late 5th-century student was John Rufus, an anti-Chalcedonian priest who moved to Maiuma after the expulsion of his master, Peter the Fuller. In Maiuma, John Rufus authored the Plerophoriae and the Life of Peter the Iberian.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>Historically, Roman stationes or auditoria, where teaching was done, stood next to public libraries housed in temples. This arrangement was copied in the Roman colony at Beirut. The first mention of the school&#39;s premises dates to 350, but the description does not specify its location. In the 5th century, Zacharias Rhetor reported that the school stood next to the "Temple of God", the description of which permitted its identification with the Byzantine Anastasis cathedral.</p><br>
<p>At the turn of the 20th century, archaeological excavations in the souq between the Saint George Greek Orthodox Cathedral and Saint George Cathedral of the Maronites unearthed a funerary stele etched with an epitaph to a man named Patricius, "whose career was consecrated for the study of law". The epitaph was identified as being dedicated to the famous 5th-century law school professor. In 1994, archaeological diggings underneath the Saint George Greek Orthodox Cathedral in Beirut Central District&#39;s Nejmeh Square identified structural elements of the Anastasis cathedral, but they were restricted to an area of 316 m&sup2; and failed to unearth the interred school.</p><br>
<h2>Reputation and legacy</h2><br>
<p>The law school of Beirut supplied the Roman Empire, especially its eastern provinces, with lawyers and magistrates for three centuries until the school&#39;s destruction. The influx of students was abundant and persistent because of the affluence, honor and secured employment offered by the profession. A degree in law became highly sought following an edict issued in 460 by Emperor Leo I. The edict ordered that candidates for the bar of the Eastern praetorian prefecture had to produce certificates of proficiency from the law teachers who instructed them at one of the recognized law schools of the Empire.</p><br>
<p>The in-depth studies of the juridic classical works in Beirut, and later in Constantinople, conferred an unprecedented scientific dimension to jurisprudence; this academic movement gave rise to the minds behind Justinian&#39;s juridic reforms. As a result of the new understanding of the classical juridic texts, the imperial laws of the late 5th and early 6th centuries were clearer and more coherent than those of the early Postclassical Era, according to legal historian George Mousourakis and other scholars.</p><br>
<p>The school garnered accolades throughout its existence and was bestowed with the title Berytus Nutrix Legum (Beirut, Mother of Laws) by Eunapius, Libanius, Zacharias Rhetor and finally by Emperor Justinian. His 533 Omnem constitution read:</p><br>
<p>These three works which we have composed we desire should be put in their hands in royal cities as well as in the most fair city of Berytus, which may well be styled the nursing mother of law, as indeed previous Emperors have commanded, but in no other places which did not enjoy the same privilege in old times, as we have heard that even in the brilliant city of Alexandria, and in Caesarea and others, there have been ignorant men who, instead of doing their duty, conveyed spurious lessons to their pupils, and such as these we desire to make desist from that attempt by laying down the above limits, so that, if they should hereafter be guilty of such conduct and carry on their duties outside the royal cities and the metropolis Berytus, they may be punished by a fine of ten pounds of gold and be expelled from the city in which instead of teaching the law they transgress the law.</p><br>
<p>From the 3rd century, the school tolerated Christian teachings, producing a number of students who would become influential church leaders and bishops, such as Pamphilus of Caesarea, Severus of Antioch and Aphian. Under Cyrillus, the first of the Ecumenical Masters, the Christian faith was consolidated as an integral element of the juristic training.</p><br>
<p>Two professors from the law school of Beirut, Dorotheus and Anatolius, had such a repute for their wisdom and knowledge that they were especially praised by Justinian in the opening of his Tanta constitution. The emperor summoned both professors to assist his minister Tribonian in compiling the Codex of Justinian, the Empire&#39;s body of civil laws issued between 529 and 534. The Tanta passage reads:</p><br>
<p>Dorotheus, an illustrious man, of great eloquence and quæstorian rank, whom, when he was engaged in delivering the law to students in the most brilliant city of Berytus,we, moved by his great reputation and renown, summoned to our presence and made to share in the work in question; again, Anatolius, an illustrious person, a magistrate, who, like the last, was invited to this work when acting as an exponent of law at Berytus, a man who came of an ancient stock, as both his father Leontius and his grandfather Eudoxius left behind them an excellent report in respect of legal learning...</p><br>
<p>For centuries following its compilation, the work of Justinian&#39;s commission was studied and incorporated into the legal systems of different nations and has profoundly impacted the Byzantine law and the Western legal tradition. Peter Stein asserts that the texts of ancient Roman law have constituted "a kind of legal supermarket, in which lawyers of different periods have found what they needed at the time."</p><br>
<p>The Corpus Juris Civilis remained the basis of Byzantine law until the publication of the Ecloga legum in 741 by Emperor Leo III and his son and co-regent Constantine V. The Ecloga was a shortened and more philanthropic version of the Codex of Justinian, whose dispositions were more in tune with Christian values. It was written in Greek, since Latin had fallen into disuse, and its provisions continued to be applied in later centuries in the neighboring Balkan and Asia Minor regions, with surviving translations in Slavic, Armenian and Arabic. Emperor Basil I, who ruled in the 9th century, issued the Prochiron and the Epanagoge, which were legal compilations invalidating parts of the Ecloga and restoring the Justinian laws. The Prochiron served as the basis for the legal writings of the 12th-century first archbishop of Serbia, Saint Sava. His legal compilation was intended for the Serbian church but the influential work was adopted as the basic constitution for the Bulgarian and Russian orthodox churches. Around 900, Emperor Leo VI commissioned the Basilica, a Greek rewriting of the Justinian laws that is considered the ancestor of modern Greece&#39;s law until the enactment of the Code of 1940.</p><br>
<p>The Codex of Justinian also had a great influence on Western law, particularly on the juridic history and tradition of western Europe and its American colonies. In Italy, a single complete copy of the Justinian Digest survived and lay forgotten until its rediscovery in 1070. In 1088, Irnerius, a jurist and teacher of the liberal arts in Bologna, was the first to teach the newly recovered Digest and the rest of Justinian&#39;s books. He and his successors explained the Roman laws to their students by means of glosses or explanatory notes written on the edges or between the text lines. The Roman legal concepts resulting from the studies of these "glossators" spread to the universities and law courts of Europe. The Roman law revival that started in Italy, during the Middle Ages, was taken up by France, the Netherlands and Germany in later centuries. The enactment of the German Civil Code in 1900 put an end to the application of extant forms of law derived from the Justinian codes in most European states.</p><br>
<p>The reputation of Beirut as "mother of laws" reemerged in modern times. The epithet Berytus Nutrix Legum is used as a motto and as part of the emblem of the Beirut Bar Association, founded in 1919.</p><br>
<p>Lockhart River, is a river in the Wheatbelt of Western Australia. It is a sub-catchment of the Avon River, and has an area of 32 400 km².</p><br>
<h2>Catchment rivers</h2><br>
<p>The Lockhart River catchment area is drained by the rivers:</p><br>

<p>Housatonic Congregational Church is a historic church at 1089 Main Street in Great Barrington, Massachusetts. It was built in 1892 to replace an earlier church, the first built for the congregation in 1842. It was designed by H. Neill Wilson, who also designed a number of notable Pittsfield buildings. In 1902 a new parsonage replaced an earlier one which was purchased by the Monument Mills Company; it was sold in 1979 to provide funds for needed work on the church and the rest of the property. The sanctuary&#39;s stained glass windows were restored in 1978.</p><br>
<p>The church was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.</p><br>
<p>The church was bought by the Unitarian Universalist Meeting of South Berkshire in 2014.</p><br>
<p>First Church Congregational is a historic church at Pleasant and Stevens Streets in Methuen, Massachusetts. The stone Gothic Revival structure was built in 1855 for Methuens first congregation, established in 1729. Its first meeting house was on Daddy Fryes Hill, but moved to the present location in 1832. The present building features granite walls, a slate roof, and a tower with crenellated top and typical Gothic lancet windows. In 1895 the church installed a stained glass representation of Christ&#39;s Resurrection designed by John LaFarge.</p><br>
<p>The church was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978, and included in the Pleasant-High Historic District in 1984. The current congregation is active in the United Church of Christ. The Rev. William D. Ingraham is its current Senior Pastor.</p><br>
<p>The Warren First Congregational Church-Federated Church is an American historic church building, located at 25 Winthrop Terrace in Warren, Massachusetts.</p><br>
<p>The Victorian Gothic wood frame building was constructed in 1875 for a congregation that was the first in Warren, dating to the 18th century. This church was built on a site to which the second meetinghouse (from 1797) had been moved in the 1830s, after the church and government separated the use of facilities. The 1797 building was destroyed by fire in 1874.</p><br>
<p>The church was designed by Amos P. Cutting, and has stained-glass windows by Samuel West.</p><br>
<p>The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>
<p>The church was bought by the congregation of Emmanuel Orthodox Church in 2008, a parish of the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America. The congregation maintains the building and its 1875 Steer & Turner pipe organ.</p><br>
<p>Whitneyville Congregational Church is a historic church on Main Street in Whitneyville, Maine. Built 1869-76, it is an unusually high-style Italianate building for a remote rural setting. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Whitneyville Congregational Church is located in the rural village center of Whitneyville, at the southwest corner of Washington and Main Streets (the latter marked United States Route 1A). It is an architecturally sophisticated single story wood frame structure, with a gabled roof, clapboarded exterior, and granite stone foundation. The main facade is three bays wide, with the church tower rising from the projecting center bay. At its base is the main entrance, framed by pilasters and a bracketed and dentillated hood, with a half-round transom window above the door. The second level has a four-part window, left and right halves each with rounded tops, set in a similarly decorated surround. A clock is mounted in the tower above the ridge line, and is capped by a bracketed cornice, pinnacles at the corners, and central spire with weathervane. Windows that flank the tower have similar styling to that on the tower.</p><br>
<p>The Church Building Society was formed in 1866 to oversee the construction of a church in Whitneyville. Its extensive records survive, describing construction of the building between 1869 and 1876, including financial difficulties in funding that work, and recording the sale of pews in its support. The church was built by William Bowker, a local master builder, and was probably influenced by design pattern books of the period.</p><br>
<p>All Souls Congregational Church is an historic church at 10 Broadway in Bangor, Maine. Built in 1911, it is a landmark in the city, designed by the noted proponent of the Gothic Revival, Ralph Adams Cram. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992. The church is affiliated with the United Church of Christ; the current pastor is Rev. Chad L. Poland.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture and history</h2><br>
<p>The All Souls Church is located on the fringe of downtown Bangor, on a rise east of Kenduskeag Stream that overlooks the central business district. It occupies an entire city block, bounded by State, French, and York Streets, and by Stetson Square and Broadway to the east. The main sanctuary is a cruciform stone structure, with its long axis oriented east-west, with the chancel set at the western end. It has a steeply pitched gabled roof, with a relatively slender tower set at the crossing. A shorter square bell tower is set at the southeast corner of the crossing. The main facade faces east, and has a center entrance set in an arched recess, with a large rose window above. The building&#39;s corners and side walls are buttressed.</p><br>
<p>The First Congregational Church first built on this site in 1822. That building burned down in 1830, and was replaced by a building designed by Charles Pond. This was replaced in 1859 by a structure designed by Harvey Graves in 1859, using the foundation of the previous building. The Graves church burned down in the Great Fire of 1911. The First Congregation then joined forces with the Third Congregation, whose 1902 church was also destroyed in the fire, to build a new church on the site of the Firsts old one. They commissioned the noted Gothic Revival proponent Ralph Adams Cram to design the building, which incorporates stone elements of the Thirds building. It was built at a cost of $110,000. Its stained glass windows, designed by Boston stained glass artist Charles J. Connick, were added between 1913 and 1947.</p><br>
<p>First Congregational Church is an historic Congregational church located at 630 Ohio Street in Terre Haute, Vigo County, Indiana. It was built in 1902-1903 and is the second building to house the congregation founded in December 1834. It is a neo-Gothic-style church constructed of buff colored brick with limestone trim and opalescent glass windows.</p><br>

<p>The First Congregational Church of LaMoille is a historic church located at 94 Franklin Street in La Moille, Illinois, United States. The building was constructed in 1867 for La Moille&#39;s Congregational church, which was established by Owen Lovejoy in 1840. The church was designed in the Italianate style, which was growing in popularity at the time. Its design features tall arched windows, a tower atop the main entrance, decorative pilasters at the corners, and corbelling along the front cornice. The church originally included several Gothic Revival features as well, such as a spire steeple and pinnacles, but these fell into disrepair and were removed.</p><br>
<p>The church was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 16, 1996.</p><br>
<p>The Central Congregational Church is a historic church on Central Square in Galesburg, Illinois. The church was built from 1897 to 1898 to serve Galesburgs newly united Congregational church. Galesburgs two congregational churches formed in the 1850s after separating from the towns Presbyterian church; the two churches united in 1895 after one church began to collapse during a service. Galesburg architect C.E. Gottschalk designed the church in the Richardsonian Romanesque style; his design features a bell tower with a pyramidal roof, numerous turrets, a 22 ft wide stained glass rose window above the entrance, and detailed stonework. The brown sandstone used to construct the church was imported from Marquette, Michigan. The churchs bell was formed from the bells used in the two Congregational churches before their union. In 1912, the church acquired an organ built by the M. P. Moller Company.</p><br>
<p>The church was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 30, 1976.</p><br>
<p>The Evergreen Congregational Church and School is a historic church and school at 497 Meridian Road in Beachton, Georgia. It is notable for its architecture, for its association with social history of the area, and for its association with civil rights leader Andrew Young, who served as its pastor from 1957 to 1959. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.</p><br>
<p>The Evergreen Congregational Church was founded in 1903.</p><br>
<p>The present church on the property was built in 1928. The school was built in 1911 and was the first school for black children in the area.</p><br>
<p>James E. Wright (1887-1972), who had an architecture degree from Tuskegee University, designed the school.</p><br>
<p>The Evergreen church is a gable-front church with an entrance porch and cupola (photo 3).</p><br>
<p>Constructed in 1928, the church is built of concrete block and wood lath with a stucco finish. The</p><br>
<p>gable-roofed portico is supported by four posts. Two posts rest on the concrete steps, the outer</p><br>
<p>posts are set directly in the ground. The front gables of the both the portico and the roof are clad in</p><br>
<p>beveled weatherboard. The roof is covered with sheet metal and surmounted by a pyramidal-roofed</p><br>
<p>cupola. Four pilasters are located between the sash windows on each side of the church. Between</p><br>
<p>1989 and 1991, the congregation built a 30-foot long annex to the rear of the church (photos 4-5).</p><br>
<p>The annex is constructed of concrete block with steel lath and stuccoed to match the original church.</p><br>
<p>Entrances are located on each side of the annex.</p><br>
<p>The sanctuary, which represents most of the ch</p><br>
<p>The school, built in 1911, is a one- and one-half-story cruciform-plan building with classrooms on the</p><br>
<p>first floor and quarters for teachers above (photos 8-9). The school was designed by James E.</p><br>
<p>Wright, a member of the Evergreen congregation. The school was constructed with poured-concrete</p><br>
<p>reinforced with steel wire. The wood forms, sometimes even the wood grain, are visible in the</p><br>
<p>horizontal bands across the exterior of the school. The window sills and lintels are also poured</p><br>
<p>concrete. The exterior is distinguished by an enclosed entrance porch topped by a gable-roofed</p><br>
<p>balcony. The steeply pitched side-gable roof features exposed rafter ends, interior end chimneys,</p><br>
<p>and dormers across the front and rear (photos 5 and 11). The roof is covered with metal shingles</p><br>
<p>and the gable ends are clad in weatherboard. The cornerstone is located on the northwest corner</p><br>
<p>and reads: Grady County/Training School/A.M.A 1911 (photo 10).</p><br>
<p>The interior of the school remains largely unchanged since it was buil</p><br>
<p>The Evergreen church is typical of African-American churches with the simple massing of its gableroofed</p><br>
<p>rectangular-shaped sanctuary and in its use of inexpensive materials, such as concrete block</p><br>
<p>and stucco. The school was designed by James E. Wright, a member of the Evergreen</p><br>
<p>congregation. It is a rare and especially important resource because its craftsmanship is evident in</p><br>
<p>the rough finish on the poured-concrete walls, which indicates the work of congregation members</p><br>
<p>and not skilled laborers. The interior with its classroom, blackboards, folding doors, kitchen, and</p><br>
<p>upstairs teachers quarters conveys the building&#39;s function as a school.</p><br>
<p>The Evergreen Congregational Church and School is significant at the state level because of its</p><br>
<p>association with Andrew Young, a leader of the American Civil Rights Movement, Ambassador to the</p><br>
<p>United Nations, and two-term mayor of Atlanta. Born on March 12, 1932 in New Orleans, Young</p><br>
<p>earned a bachelor of arts degree from Howard University in 1951. He later earned a bachelor of</p><br>
<p>divinity degree from Hartford Theological Seminary as a minister in the United Church of Christ.</p><br>
<p>Young first served as pastor at Evergreen Congregational Church in Beachton from 1957 to 1959. In</p><br>
<p>his autobiography, An Easy Burden (1996), Young noted that the lessons he learned at Evergreen</p><br>
<p>served him during the struggle for civil rights. During his pastorate at Evergreen, Young first became</p><br>
<p>involved in the civil right movement. During the 1960s, he joined the Southern Christian Leadership</p><br>
<p>Conference (SCLC), and served as an administrative assistant and later as Executive Director under</p><br>
<p>Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. In 1972, he was elected to Congress. In 1976, President Jimmy Carter</p><br>
<p>appointed him United States Ambassador to the United Nations. Young served as mayor of Atlanta</p><br>
<p>from 1981 to 1989. He was co-chairman of the Atlanta Committee for the Olympic Games and</p><br>
<p>currently serves as President of the National Council of Churches.</p><br>
<p>In 1903, a group Beachton residents organized the Evergreen Congregational Church. That same</p><br>
<p>year, Jerry Walden, Jr., led a group of community men in erecting a one-room frame school building</p><br>
<p>on a one-acre site that was donated by Please Hawthorne. This was the first school for black</p><br>
<p>children in the area. In 1904, a frame church was built adjacent to the school. The programs and</p><br>
<p>activities of the church and school were intermingled under the supervision of the pastors. Reverend</p><br>
<p>William H. Holloway served as the first pastor from 1904 until 1910. He was followed by Reverend</p><br>
<p>Henry S. Barnwell, who served until 1916. In 1924, after an eight-year vacancy, Reverend George</p><br>
<p>W. Hannar served as pastor and as principal of the school. Reverend Hannar resigned in 1930 and</p><br>
<p>was replaced that same year by Reverend W. J. Hill. Andrew Young served as pastor from 1957 to</p><br>
<p>1959. In 1974, Reverend Artis Johnson arrived and remains the current pastor.</p><br>
<p>From the beginning, the American Missionary Association assumed responsibility for the church and</p><br>
<p>school because of negligence by the public schools in the education of African-American children. In</p><br>
<p>1910, an adjacent acre of land was acquired and a new school building was constructed the next</p><br>
<p>year. The new school building featured classrooms on the first floor and living quarters on the floor</p><br>
<p>above. In 1916, the school was renamed Grady County Training School when the county assumed</p><br>
<p>partial responsibility for the school.</p><br>
<p>In 1925, the original frame church was demolished. The new concrete-block church was completed</p><br>
<p>in 1928. In 1942, electric lights were installed and indoor bathrooms were b</p><br>
<p>In 1938, the educational programs at Evergreen were moved by the county to another location. The</p><br>
<p>Evergreen school was then used as a community hall for such activities as voter registration drives,</p><br>
<p>meetings with county commissioners, farm agents, home demonstration agents, 4-H Boys and Girls</p><br>
<p>Clubs, and Boy Scouts. The school is currently known as Evergreen Recreation Center and serves</p><br>
<p>as the fellowship hall for Evergreen church.</p><br>
<p>A number of church members played important roles in the history and development of Evergreen</p><br>
<p>Congregational Church. Jerry Walden, Jr., was born in Grady County in 1869. He went to the public</p><br>
<p>school in Thomas County and later attended Morehouse College in Atlanta. In 1903, Walden led a</p><br>
<p>group of community men in erecting a one-room wood school building on a one-acre site that was</p><br>
<p>donated by Please Hawthorne. This was the first school for black children in the area. Walden was</p><br>
<p>the first African-American teacher in Beachton. He taught in Beachton until his death in 1935.</p><br>
<p>Please Hawthorne was born in 1854 in rural Grady County. He spent much of his life operating a</p><br>
<p>general merchandise store in the Beachton area until his death in 1927. In 1903, he donated a oneacre</p><br>
<p>site on which Jerry Walden, Jr., built the Evergreen school.</p><br>
<p>First Congregational Church  is a United Church of Christ church located in downtown Atlanta at the corner of Courtland Street and John Wesley Dobbs Avenue . It is notable for being the favored church of the city&#39;s black elite including Alonzo Herndon and Andrew Young, for its famous minister Henry H. Proctor, and for President Taft having visited in 1898.</p><br>
<p>The church is the second-oldest African-American Congregational Church in the United States. The American Missionary Association (AMA) established the Storrs School in Atlanta. The school served as a center for social services, education, and worship for newly freed blacks. Worshipers at the school&#39;s services petitioned for a church of their own. As a result, in May 1867 a Congregational Church was organized, and the AMA donated the land.</p><br>
<p>The church was never formally segregated but had become mostly black by 1892. The current building is the second church, built on the site of the original one in 1908.</p><br>
<p>Bendor Island  is a French island in the Mediterranean Sea. It is located 300m off the coast from the commune of Bandol, in the Var department in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d&#39;Azur region in south eastern France. It was bought and subsequently developed by the industrialist Paul Ricard in 1950.</p><br>
<p>The island has a surface area of 0.08 km, with a coastline of 1.5 km. The island is 17m high at its highest point.</p><br>
<p>A frequent daily ferry service runs to the island from Bandol.</p><br>
<h2>Facilities</h2><br>
<p>The island has a main hotel, the Hotel Delos, five restaurants, an artists village, boutiques, an art gallery and two museums: the Universal Exposition of Wines and Spirits (Exposition Universelle des Vins et Spiritueux, EUVS) and the Museum of Ricard Advertising Objects.</p><br>
<p>The both museums were built by Ricard, admittance is free, but they are open during July and August only.</p><br>
<p>Sporting amenities include tennis courts, water sports facilities, a diving club and a marina. The marina is the smallest on the Côte d&#39;Azur, with a surface area of just 2.8 km.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1950 the island was bought by the industrialist Paul Ricard (1909-1997) the founder of Ricard, the pastis manufacturer. At the time of Ricard&#39;s purchase the sole inhabitant of the island was a sheep. Ricard also bought the Île des Embiez in 1958, located nearby off the coast of Six-Fours-les-Plages.</p><br>
<p>Under Ricard&#39;s patronage the island became a magnet for the jet set of the 1960s. Visitors to the island included Mireille Darc, Gilbert Bécaud, Salvador Dalí, Melina Mercouri, Marcel Pagnol, Annie Cordy, Fernandel.</p><br>
<p>A monolith built by Ricard dominates the marina.</p><br>
<p>The monolith is inscribed with the phrase "Nul bien sans peine" ("No pain, no gain") which was Ricard&#39;s personal philosophy. Ricard built the monolith in tribute to Pierre Paul Puget, a Provençal sculptor, painter and architect of the 17th century. It was from Puget that Ricard took the motto.</p><br>
