<p>Tadlac Lake, also colloquially known as Alligator Lake, is a freshwater crater lake located in Barangay Tadlac, in the municipality of Los Baños of Laguna province in the Philippines. The lake-filled maar is located along the southern shore of Laguna de Bay, the largest lake in the country, with Alligator Lake protruding out of the shore of the larger lake. If not for its slightly-elevated crater rim, Alligator Lake would be wholly engulfed by Laguna de Bay.</p><br>
<p>The crater lake is one of the maars of the Laguna Volcanic Field. It is listed as one of the inactive volcanos in the Philippines by the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS). Lake overturns or carbon dioxide (CO) eruption from deep within, locally called as langal, normally occurs during the months of December to February. During this period some indigenous fishes of the lake are often observed gasping for air near the lake surface.</p><br>
<p>Prior to the introduction of aquaculture, Alligator Lake was considered as an oligotrophic lake, having low nutrient content and low algal production, resulting in very clear water with high drinking-water quality.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Alligator Lake is located in Barangay Tadlac, in the hot springs resort town of Los Baños (The Baths in English) near the border with Calamba City in the province of Laguna. The lake is contained in a piece of land jutting out to the Laguna de Bay that was known as Malilimbas Point, and is directly situated below the northeastern slope of Mount Makiling, the highest mountain in the Laguna Volcanic Field. Because of its origin, the lake has no outlet and is replenished only by rainfall.</p><br>
<p>The slightly oval lake is 22.7 hectare in surface area with a perimeter of about 1.8 km. It has an average depth of 27 m so swimming is not recommended because of its depth and the sudden drop along its shoreline. The lake surface&#39;s longest dimension is 650 m in the NE-SW direction with the widest dimension perpendicular to the longest at 503 m. The crater rim that separates Alligator Lake from the surrounding Laguna de Bay is thinnest northeast of the lake with only about 40 m wide piece of land separating it from the larger lake.</p><br>
<p>The Tadlac Barangay Road runs east of the lake but does not circle the lake. Another road runs west of Alligator lake. The lands around the lake are privately owned, and some owners have established resorts around the lake. The Laguna Lake Development Authority (LLDA), as mandated by the government, manages Laguna de Bay and its surrounding areas including Alligator Lake.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Etymology</h3><br>
<p>During the Spanish colonial period, the lake was known as Laguna de los Caimanes (Lake of Alligators or Alligator Lake). The great number of crocodilians that used to live in its waters gave the lake its name. Today, alligators or crocodiles have been extirpated in and around Alligator Lake and Laguna de Bay.</p><br>
<p>Historian Zeus A. Salazar has suggested that the name tadlac may refer to a local variety sugarcane which he theorized to be common in Laguna and Batangas before the propagation of modern sugarcane.</p><br>
<h3>Aquaculture and quarrying</h3><br>
<p>Starting from 1986, the LLDA authorized the use of 30,000 m&sup2; or about 12%of its total surface the lake for tilapia fish cage aquaculture to help the local fishermen earn a living. Starting around the same time, the hill on the northern edge of the lake was quarried by its private owner and sold as building materials for home construction. The destruction continued unopposed by the lax management of LLDA, and the local government of Los Baños recognized the activity as the right of the land owner to develop his property. This was back when the Philippine Environmental Impact Assessment System was not yet fully established. In the end, about 7,000 - of earth & rocks were removed and the land was leveled leaving a "cut" on the crater rim, destroying the natural look of the lake.</p><br>
<p>From 1986 until the late 1990s, the lake was heavily used for aquaculture until a massive fishkill occurred in 1999. Through the collaborative efforts of the local leaders and the Laguna Lake Development Authority (LLDA), aquaculture was stopped saving the lake from further deterioration.</p><br>
<h2>Accessing the lake</h2><br>
<p>From Manila, the lake is about 61 km or an hour drive from KM Zero in Rizal Park to Barangay Tadlac via South Luzon Expressway then the National Road. A park is located on the east side of the lake along Tadlac Barangay Road.</p><br>
<p>The lake can also be accessed on through the road west of the lake and through the "cut" north of the lake. The owner of the quarried land had donated a 4 m wide right-of-way trail on his property allowing easy access to the lake.</p><br>
<p>The Bengo  is a river in northern Angola with a source in the Crystal Mountains. Its mouth is at the Atlantic Ocean 20 km north of Luanda in Bengo Province. The river is 300 km long with a drainage area of 7,370 km&sup2;. There is a large reservoir called Kiminha on the Bengo. There are several small lakes on the lower 90 km of the river floodplain including Lakes Panguila, Quilunda and Lalama. The Bengo River floodplain is the main source of the agricultural produce for Luanda. Drinking water from the Bengo River was transported to Luanda in barrels by boat before an aqueduct was built in 1889. Trucks deliver much of the city&#39;s modern water supply, loaded by pumps in the river.</p><br>
<p>Mangroves grow in the estuary, near their southern limit. Crocodiles, manatees, ducks and fish were among the wildlife in the river. The only aquaculture industry in Angola is a tilapia farm on the Bengo River at Kifangondo in Luanda Province.</p><br>
<p>The river has been the site of several battles. In 1641 the Portuguese retreated there when the Dutch captured Luanda. In 1873 the Dembos living between the Bengo and Dande rivers led an uprising against the Portuguese. The Battle of Quifangondo in 1975 was an important point in the Angolan War of Independence.</p><br>
<p>The Hughes House is a house located at 109 Elm Street in Elk Rapids, Michigan. It was built in 1867 as a guest house for travellers going through Elk Rapids via stagecoach or steamboat. It was designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1975 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. It is a well-preserved example of popular vernacular architecture.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Hughes House was constructed in approximately 1868 by a local carpenter as a guest house, located on the stagecoach road between Traverse City and Petoskey. In 1877, it was purchased by settlers John and Martha Hughes. They operated it until 1898, when their daughter, Alice Hughes Butler, inherited the house. She added the veranda and remodeled the interior into a family dwelling. Alice Hughes Butler lived in the house for many years, and her daughter, Josephine Butler Cary, continued living there until at least 1980. The House was most recently purchased in July 2014 by Matthew and Anne Conrad of Elk Rapids as their permanent residence. Recent improvements include foundation re-support and insulation of the exterior walls.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Hughes House is a rectangular 2-1/2-story frame house with a gable roof and clapboard siding on a fieldstone foundation.</p><br>
<p>The M-88–Intermediate River Bridge is a bridge located on M-88 over the Intermediate River in Bellaire, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999. It is a noteworthy product of Depression-era relief work.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1893, a steel truss bridge was constructed to carry Bellaire&#39;s main north-south street over the Intermediate River. By 1931, with the tourism boom in northern Michigan, the bridge needed replacement. The Michigan State Highway Department drafted plans, and in late 1931 awarded Jackson contractor L. W. Lamb a $21,419 contract for the concrete construction. The Fort Pitt Bridge Works of Massillon, Ohio provided the structural steel. Work on the bridge began in late 1931, with many workers provided by the County Relief Committee. The bridge opened for traffic in June 1932. The original balusters have at some points been replaced with replicas.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The M-88–Intermediate River Bridge is 60 ft long and 55.4 ft wide, with a roadway width of 40 ft and sidewalks lining both edges. It has concrete balustrade railings with square balusters and posts, and an ornamental railing on one wing wall to protect pedestrians from the steep drop. A bridge plate gives the construction date of 1931.</p><br>
<p>The North Street Fire Station is a historic fire station at 142 North Street on the north side of Salem, Massachusetts, and one of the oldest active service fire stations in the United States. The brick Queen Anne structure was built in 1881 to a design by local architect William Dennis, and is the oldest active fire station in the city. It was the second brick fire station built by the city, its design similar to the first one, built for ward 5 in 1880 and destroyed in the Great Salem Fire of 1914. The building as designed had a single bay to house a steamer, with space for stabling horses in the rear. The upper level included a wardroom, which made the station a center for social and civic functions, such as political meetings and elections.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.</p><br>
<p>Hocomonco Pond is a recreational pond located in Westborough, Massachusetts near Route 9. Also called Hobomoc Pond, it was named for Hobomok, a Wamesit Indian evil spirit. The pond and adjacent land are a Superfund site.</p><br>
<h2>Superfund site</h2><br>
<p>A wood treatment and preservation plant operated on a 23 acre site near the pond during the 1930s and 1940s. The business saturated wood products (e.g. telephone poles, railroad ties, pilings and fence posts) with creosote to preserve them. During the treatment process, excess creosote and wastes where discharged to an unlined pit, the "former lagoon". The creosote, which contains carcinogenic polyaromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) compounds, seeped into sediments, soil and groundwater. A storm drain built in the 1970s along the east side of the former lagoon transported liquid contaminants to the pond. The site was added to the National Priorities List on September 8, 1983.</p><br>
<p>A 1985 Record of Decision specified remedies for cleaning up the site. A landfill for the contaminants was constructed at the former lagoon. The storm drain was relocated. Contaminated soil, waste and sediments were excavated and dredged in operations completed in 1996. The former lagoon area was then capped. The groundwater remains contaminated.</p><br>
<p>Globe Inn was a famous inn and tavern in Washington, Pennsylvania. It was opened in 1798 by David Morris. With the completion of the nearby National Road westward to Wheeling, West Virginia, the Globe Inn was well-positioned to serve the new traffic. During that time, the Globe Inn hosted 5 Presidents of the United States, James Monroe, William Henry Harrison, James K. Polk, and Zachary Taylor.</p><br>
<p>On May 25, 1825, the Marquis de Lafayette visited Washington, Pennsylvania and stayed at the Globe Inn on his tour of the United States to celebrate the 50th anniversary of independence. It was demolished in 1891.</p><br>
<p>On August 1, 1953, the Pennsylvania Historical & Museum Commission erected a historical marker on Main Street in Washington noting the historic importance of the Globe Inn.</p><br>
<p>The Henry Richardi House is located at 402 North Bridge Street in Bellaire, Michigan. It was originally built for Henry Richardi, a late 19th century lumber baron and industrialist, reportedly in an attempt to woo a young woman for a wife. It currently operates as the "Grand Victorian Bed and Breakfast." It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Henry Richardi was born in Williamsport, Pennsylvania in 1863, the son of Robert and Louisa Richardi. When Henry was young, his family moved to Louisiana, Missouri, where his father started a wooden utensil company. Henry went to school there, and began helping his father in the business. In 1881, Robert Richardi decided that the area around Bellaire was more promising, so the family moved again, and established the company of Richardi & Bechtold (later the Woodenware Company) with Frederick Bechtold.</p><br>
<p>Henry Richardi continued to work in the business, and in 1895, Robert Richardi sold out to his son. Richardi used some of the land to set up an electric plant, supplying electricity to nearby Charlevoix; much of the rest is now a city park.</p><br>
<p>This house was built in 1895 for Henry Richardi, reportedly in an attempt to woo a young woman for a wife. The house was built by Richardis employees to reflect the quality of their craftsmanship, and the economic success of Richardis company.</p><br>
<p>However, Richardi&#39;s marriage plans never came to fruition, and he never lived in the house. Richardi eventually moved to California in 1925. A string of other private owners lived in the Richardi house, and in 1989 it was turned into a bed and breakfast, at the time called the "Richardi House Bed and Breakfast." It currently operates as the "Grand Victorian Bed and Breakfast."</p><br>
<p>The rich detail of the house has remained remarkably intact.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Henry Richardi House is a 2-1/2-story asymmetrical wood frame Queen Anne house sitting on a rough stone foundation. The plan includes a number of elegant bays, balconies, and overhangs created by the second-story gables, and a square tower with a curved, pointed roof surmounts the structure. The house is covered with clapboard and scalloped wooden shingles. It features a significant amount of ornamental detail, including lathe-turned beaded latticework and columns.</p><br>
<p>The interior of the house contains substantial decorative woodwork, with each room featuring a different type of wood. The original hand-carved staircase and light fixtures remain in place and intact.</p><br>
<p>The Attwood-Hopson House is a historic house on the east side of Arkansas Highway 8 on the northern fringe of New Edinburg, Arkansas. The house was built c. 1890 by William Attwood, a local merchant. It was built in the then-fashionable Queen Anne style, but was significantly remade in the Craftsman style in 1917 by builder Emmett Moseley. It is a 1.5 story wood frame house built on a foundation of poured concrete and brick piers. Its roof is a multi-level gable-on-hip design, with shed dormers on each elevation. A porch wraps around three sides of the building, and is extended at the back to provide a carport. The interior was not significantly remade in 1917, and retains Colonial Revival details.</p><br>
<p>In addition to being a distinctive local instance of Craftsman styling, the house was the first in the area to be wired for electricity at the time of its construction. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994, at which time it was owned by the Hopson family.</p><br>
<p>The Barnett-Attwood House is a historic house outside New Edinburg in Cleveland County, Arkansas. It is believed to be the oldest standing structure in the county.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>It was built c. 1835-36 by Nathaniel Barnett, one of the earliest settlers in the area. The structure he built is a five-room dogtrot house fashioned out of hand hewn pine timbers with square notches. This original structure still rests on its original pilings, but is also supported by a brick foundation. In 1961, its owner, C. W. Attwood, a Barnett descendant, added an L-shaped addition onto the rear, and renovated the original portion of the house, carefully maintaining the appearance by using hand hewn timbers when necessary.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 29, 1977.</p><br>
<p>The Cleveland County Clerk&#39;s Building is a modest one story wood frame structure now located on the Cleveland County fairgrounds in Rison, Arkansas. Measuring 20 ft wide and 32 ft long, it was built in 1902 at a location near the present site of the county courthouse. It served as the office of the county clerk until about 1911, when the courthouse was completed. It was then rented to the local sheriff for personal use, and from 1921 to 1940 housed an office of the local agricultural extension service.</p><br>
<p>In 1941 the building was moved to a site in Rison&#39;s business district. It was used for a variety of commercial and professional purposes until 1975, when the Cleveland County Historical Society had the building moved to the fairgrounds. There it serves as one of a collection of historic structures intended to depict a typical 19th century Arkansas village.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>
<p>Wesley Chapel is a historic church building on Arkansas Highway 15 in Woodlawn, Cleveland County, Arkansas. It is a simple one story wood frame building constructed by local men in c. 1872. It has a pair of entrances on the west side and another toward the eastern end of the south face. The east elevation has two windows, the north one four, with the south elevation substituting the door for one of the windows. The building has minimal Greek Revival styling. The building rests on concrete blocks, a replacement in the 1950s for wooden blocks on which it was originally built. The only other significant alteration is the replacement of the original wood shingle roof with asphalt shingles. The church had an active congregation until the 1960s, and has since come into the hands of local preservationists.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.</p><br>

<p>Tumby Island is a low bedrock island located 500 m east of the southern tip of Tumby Bay  in Spencer Gulf, South Australia. The island is a conservation park comprising 35 hectares. The island can be accessed on foot at low tide by traversing shallow water-covered rock flats and curving sand. Visitors should request access permission from DEWNR  before visiting and be mindful of the presence of Death adders.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The island was named by explorer Matthew Flinders in 1802, after his native parish in England.</p><br>
<p>On April 20, 1909, a 15–16 ft great white shark was caught near Tumby Island by Captain Simms and the crew of the fishing cutter Minnie Simms. It was almost 10 ft in circumference. Its jaws measured 2 ft across and some of its teeth were bought by people in Tumby Bay.</p><br>
<p>On December 26, 1914, the region&#39;s first boating fatality was recorded involving a boat en route to Tumby Island departing from Tumby Bay. Mr W. A. L. Williams, chemist, was killed when his boat Dolphin capsized. All six passengers aboard survived.</p><br>
<p>In 1969, Tumby Island was proclaimed a Conservation Park and is managed under South Australia&#39;s National Parks and Wildlife Act 1972. As of 2011, no management plan exists for the park.</p><br>
<p>The island is classified by IUCN as a Category 1A conservation asset, which means that it has been strictly set aside to protect biodiversity and also possibly geological/geomorphological features, where human visitation, use and impacts are strictly controlled and limited.</p><br>
<h2>Features</h2><br>
<p>On the northern side of the island there is a 350 m long sandy beach fronted by 100 to 200 m wide rock and sand flats. The remainder of the island has low rock bluffs, which are steep on the southern side. Waters close to Tumby Island are known for their fishing. Popular targeted species include snapper and tommy ruff. These are best accessed from the mainland, or by boat.</p><br>
<p>The island is known to host a population of Death adders which represent a potential threat to human visitors. The island also provides roosts and breeding habitat for a variety of seabird species. The endangered fairy tern and the vulnerable eastern curlew and banded stilt have been recorded in the Tumby Island / Cape Euler coastal cell.</p><br>
<p>Liguanea Island is an uninhabited granite island located 3.7 km south of Cape Carnot at the southern, central point of Eyre Peninsula, South Australia. It is approximately 2.7 km long, 180 ha in size its elevation above sea level is estimated to be 43 metres. It is approximately 35 km south-west of Port Lincoln in the Great Australian Bight. The island forms part of the Lincoln National Park.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Liguanea Island was named by British explorer Matthew Flinders on February 18, 1802. The following day, Flinders named the nearby headland Cape Wiles "after a worthy friend at Liguanea, in Jamaica." In Flinders&#39; atlas (Plate 17) there is a view of the cape and the island as seen from his ship, The Investigator.</p><br>
<p>The same year, French explorer Nicolas Baudin provided the alternative name of Ile Guyton. He also named the nearest mainland point Cap Carnot, which was later adopted and Anglicized to officially become known as Cape Carnot.</p><br>
<p>In 1905, the ship Governor Musgrave called by Liguanea Island while searching for the wreckage of the lost vessel, Loch Vennachar. A newspaper correspondent on the vessel described the island as "a large bare block of forbidding granite some miles in extent."</p><br>
<p>In 1914, a buck and two does were placed on Liguanea Island.</p><br>
<p>On May 26, 1980, biodiversity data was collected on Liguanea Island. Among there species recorded were Australian sea-lion, little penguin, Cape Barren goose and bush rat.</p><br>

<p>The lac Ventadour is the main headwater lake of the Bostonnais River. This lake is located in the La Tuque , in Mauricie, in Quebec, in Canada. The area around the lake is mostly administered by the Zec Kiskissink.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>South shore of Lake Ventadour is located at 20 km (in direct line) at northeast of the town of Lac-Edouard, 60.6 km east of La Tuque downtown and 63 miles southwest of Lac Saint-Jean.</p><br>
<p>Lake Ventadour has the shape of a duck in flight, landing to the west, seen in profile. The spout is positioned to the north, which is also the mouth of the lake. This lake has a length of 4.6 km in the north-south direction and a maximum width of 1.3 km (at the level of two bays). A 2.3 km long strait (with a 90 degree elbow with 0.9 km wide) is located north-east, and this strait looks like the duck wings.</p><br>
<p>The stream discharge (2.6 km long) of "Lake Chalet" flows in the extreme south of Lake Ventadour. Dozens of lakes near the “Lake Chalet” are part of a watershed of Saint-Maurice River or the one of Métabetchouane River because of the line breaker water.</p><br>
<p>Lake Vendatour, Lake Lescarbot, Lake Kiskissink and a segment of the Bostonnais River form on 23 km in north-south direction a chain of water bodies which discharge into the Bostonnais River from the north; the latest flows into the Saint-Maurice River where it pours in La Tuque.</p><br>
<p>This chain of water bodies is located parallel to the west of the Métabetchouane River. In contrast, it is discharged into the Lac Saint-Jean. The distance between the Métabetchouane River and the major lakes are: Lake Kiskissink (2.5 km), Lake Lescarbot (4.8 km) and Lake Ventadour (5.4 km).</p><br>
<p>In Native American history, as well as the time of the “coureurs des bois” (wooden runners) practicing fur trade, this area was conducive to the transfer of a watershed to another: that of the Métabetchouane River and Saint-Maurice River.</p><br>
<h2>Toponymy</h2><br>
<p>The name "Lake Ventadour" honors Henri de Lévis (1596 - 1651), 13th Duke of Ventadour and peer of France, Prince of Maubuisson, Earl of Voulte, lord of Cheylard Vauvert and other places, lieutenant general of Louis XIII in Languedoc ally Condé, Vice King of New France (1625–1631).</p><br>
<p>After serving his country as a soldier, he took holy orders and 1625 he bought his uncle, the Duke Henri II de Montmorency, the vice-royalty of the New France in order to finance the Jesuit missions. It is also a founding member of the companionship of the Holy Sacrament in 1627. In 1650 he became a Canon (priest) of Notre-Dame de Paris.</p><br>
<p>This name was officially registered on December 5, 1968 in the Bank of place names in Commission de toponymie du Québec (Geographical Names Board of Québec)</p><br>

<p>Lescarbot lake is located near (west side) of the boundary waters between the Métabetchouane River and Bostonnais River.</p><br>
<h2>Toponymy</h2><br>
<p>The origin of the name is related to Marc Lescarbot, a Frenchman born at Versins in Picardy, in 1570, a scholar, lawyer, traveler, writer, broker. He came to settle in Port Royal, Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia, in 1606. However, in 1607, he had to return to France because of the revocation of the monopoly of the fur trade held by Pierre du Gua de Monts. Upon his arrival back in France, Lescarbot began writing a history of New France, which during his lifetime was published in three editions (1609, 1611-1612 and 1617-1618), enriched whenever he was able to get new information from people who returned to France after living in French Canada. Each edition of this work includes "The Neptune Theatre", a play composed and performed in 1606 to celebrate the return of Jean de Biencourt Poutrincourt from his posting as commander of Port Royal. This play was probably the first stage performance in North America.</p><br>
<p>The name "Lake Lescarbot" was officially registered on 6 December 1968 in the databank of place names of the Commission de toponymie du Québec (Geographical Names Board of Québec).</p><br>

<p>The Lake Vlimeux straddles in two municipalities Saint-Roch-de-Mékinac and Sainte-Thècle, in the Mekinac Regional County Municipality, in Mauricie, in Quebec, in Canada. This lake is marking the former northwestern boundary of the lordship of Batiscan, which was once the property of Jesuits.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Lake Vlimeux is located mainly in the territory of rank 1 Saint-Roch-de-Mékinac, some in row 2, and the part in Sainte-Thècle is included in the range II South Western Lejeune Township. This lake is located 4.3 km (direct line) east of Saint-Maurice River, 3.5 km (direct line) north of Second Lake Roberge, 6.4 km (direct line) south of the church of Saint-Joseph-de-Mékinac and 6.4 km (direct line) west of Lake Jesuit.</p><br>
<p>Lake Vlimeux covers 1.1 km and is 2.1 km long. This lake has three sections, the respective width: southern part (300 m.), Long bay with a 100 m wide central part (450 m) and northern part (700 m). Five tributaries of Lake Vlimeux, three islands and peninsulas give it a very irregular contour. The shape of the lake resembles a tree whose height is facing south. The lake Vlimeux receives the water from lake Pleau and Lake Elizabeth, located to the south.</p><br>
<p>The lake Vlimeux draining from the north into the creek Vlimeux, which crosses the Little lake Vlimeux. Both lakes are spaced by 150 meters. Possessed by the Government of Québec, a dam is arranged at the mouth of Little Lake Vlimeux. Thence Vlimeux Creek flows north and cut three woodlots west end of the territory of Sainte-Thècle (row 1 Southwest). The stream continues his journey in the territory of Trois-Rives, branching off to the northwest, draining the rows I and II, and will flow into the Mekinac River, which in turn flows west to empty into the Saint-Maurice River.</p><br>
<h2>Toponymy</h2><br>
<p>"Lake Vlimeux" appears on a map of the Lejeune Township in 1881. The name "Lake Vlimeux" appears in the 1914 in edition of "Dictionary of rivers and lakes in the province of Quebec". This gazetteer designation has undergone several variations on forest maps such as Villemieux and Vilimieux.</p><br>
<p>In 1959, the Commission de toponymie du Québec (Geographic Board of Québec) has standardized this case under the name "Lake Venimeux". This name appears in the "Gazette officielle du Québec" in 1969 and "Gazette officielle du Québec" in 1978. Finally, the Geographical Names Board of Québec changed his mind by restoring the old form, the toponym "Lake Vlimeux" was officially registered on January 31, 1980 the Bank of place names in Commission de toponymie du Québec (Geographical Names Board of Quebec) given that the toponym "Lake Vlimeux" was well established in the regional dialect.</p><br>
<p>In the ancient language of French-Canadians, the term "vlimeux" evokes the unpredictability, malicious, mischievous, mocking or “ratoureur” a person to reach his ends subtly, sometimes making use of indirect means to deceive. The Wikdictionnaire attributed quasi-synonyms such as: playful, “ratoureux”, comic, inconvenient or tanning. Seeking to know the etymology of the term, some researchers argue the thesis that the toponym "vlimeux" would be a derivative of "poisonous". Moreover, in modern parlance, the term usually has a pleasant or nice, used in addressing children connotation. However, use of the term "Vlimeux" for naming a place is unusual.</p><br>

<p>The Hackett Lake is located in the Hackett  in the unorganized territory of Lac-Masketsi, in the Mekinac Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Mauricie, in Quebec, in Canada.</p><br>
<h2>Toponymy</h2><br>
<p>The names "Hackett Lake" and "Hackett (township)" evoke the memory of Michael Felix Hackett (1851-1926), secretary and "registrar" in the firm Edmund James Flynn, Prime Minister Quebec in 1896 and 1897. After his studies at the McGill University, Hackett is admitted to the Bar of Quebec in 1874.

<p>The toponym "Lake Hackett" was officially registered on December 5, 1968 at the Bank of place names in Commission de toponymie du Québec (Geographical Names Board of Québec).</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Lake Hackett (Mekinac) has a length of 4.8 km in the north-south axis (and a maximum width of 1.7 km), including the long strait in the southern part, resulting into the "Lac du Canard" (Duck Lake) which as a large area consisting of marshes. The headwaters of the subwatershed is Calau lake (1 km long) which flows to the north-east into the Suève lake (710 m long). The discharge of the later flows over 1.25 km to the northeast and empties into "Lac du Canard".</p><br>
<p>A strait of 2.8 km at northeast (which forms the lake logic) connects the Hackett Lake to Garneau Lake (2.6 km long, shaped like a "U"). South of the later, the Heloise lake (1.8 km long) connects the Garneau Lake with a short Strait. The Heloise lake straddles the township Hackett and Marmier.</p><br>
<p>Dam of type "concrete-gravity" that was built on the rock by Hydro-Québec in 1995 at the mouth of Lake Hackett, creates the great reservoir "Hackett" an area of 438.8 ha with a holding capacity 19,305,000 m³. With a length of 20 m., the dam has a height of 5.5 m and a height of 4.4 m holding. Coordinates of the dam: latitude: 47° 05; longitude: - 72° 27</p><br>
<p>Located in the Zec Tawachiche, its mouth flows into the "Ruisseau des îles” (Stream of Islands), which course on 3.25 km north-west and flows into the Rivière aux eaux mortes (Mékinac). The latter flows into the Rivière du Milieu (Mékinac) which goes south to empty into the northern part of Mékinac Lake.</p><br>
<p>Starting at Hervey-Jonction, visitors can travel 30 km to reach the southern part of Lake Hackett. A visitor has just to take the Tawachiche road leading to Zec Tawachiche (in north-east), through the Audy sector; then take the Tawachiche East road, passing near the Lake Terrien (Mékinac).</p><br>

<p>The J. B. Jones House in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, United States, is a farmhouse that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as one of the very small number of pre-Manhattan Project residences remaining in the city.</p><br>
<p>The house is on Old Edgemoor Road near Haw Ridge Park, across the Clinch River from the TVA Bull Run Steam Plant. It is a rectangular frame bungalow structure of one-and-one-half stories, built around 1920. It has a brick foundation, an asphalt-shingled roof, and weatherboard siding.</p><br>
<p>The Jones House was one of 180 pre-World War II houses in Oak Ridge that were used by the USA Army during the Manhattan Project. Almost all of these houses were razed in the late 1940s; the Jones House, the Luther Brannon House, and Freels Cabin were the only survivors. The Anderson County Board of Education bought the Jones House from the USA Atomic Energy Commission in 1956, when Oak Ridge property first became available for sale. The building and grounds have subsequently been used for a variety of civic purposes. It was listed on the National Register in 1991.</p><br>
<p>The Baldwin Hotel is a historic hotel building in Klamath Falls, Oregon, in the United States. It was built in 1905 and added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 2, 1973. Originally built to be a hardware store by George Baldwin, the building was converted into a hotel in 1911 as George saw the potential profit from the railroad coming to town. He anticipated the railroad to come by the Link River, across the street from the buildings location. Unfortunately for George, the railroad was instead built at the other end of Main Street, by the current Klamath County Museum. Nonetheless, the Hotel was built and operated with unique characteristics. As the site of construction was a rocky hillside, the building was constructed by carving away the basalt and creating an incredibly sturdy foundation. This hotel has almost all rooms connected in order to create the ability to rent out either one room, or an entire suite of rooms. Georges thinking behind this was that people would want to be able to have an office and apartment all connected. It also was the first building to have indoor plumbing in every room, even though running water wasn&#39;t available until 1908.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Baldwin family consisted of George and Josephine Baldwin, and their children. They started a family and had their first born George, who died at the age of three. Their next child was Maud Baldwin, born in 1878, who became a prominent businesswoman and photographer. Three boys followed, Charles, William and Floyd (Zim), who became businessmen, owning and operating a mining operation, a hardware store, and an automobile dealership, respectively. George&#39;s later life found him in a senatorial seat from 1917 until his death in 1920. Leaving behind his unmarried daughter to care for her ailing mother and the hotel proved to be too much of a strain for Maud, who committed suicide in 1926. Before her death, Maud sold the hotel to a couple in 1923.</p><br>
<p>This couple, Andrew and Cordelia Moore operated the hotel until 1951 when they retired and gave the hotel to their daughter Vera Moore Jones and her husband, Mart Jones. The hotel in its later years operated as a residence hotel serving many elderly gentlemen, including Herbert Ballard, who lived in the same room of the hotel for 51 years. Ballard was an Englishman who worked as an accountant for the many (at the time) lumber companies in the area. His duration at the Baldwin made him the only resident to have lived there under all three sets of owners and he was informally adopted, spending his holidays with the Jones. The Jones era came to a close in 1971 due to the hotel falling into disrepair and financial problems; ultimately, the hotel was forced to close.</p><br>
<p>The destruction of the hotel was imminent until a group of concerned citizens came together and forced a reconsideration for the property. This led to Klamath County buying the property and all of its contents, including the original brass beds, dressers, claw foot tubs and other items from the long history of the building and its inhabitants. The conversion was considerably helped by former County Commissioner, Nell Kuonen to whom the Museum owes its gratitude.</p><br>
<p>The hotel is now operated as a museum by Klamath County Museums, and is open from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend. One- and two-hour tours are offered, showcasing all four floors,an interesting look into the history of the building and Klamath Falls. Using its vast collection of items donated over the years, the museum is able to show a unique historical insight into many different topics, such as sporting in the great outdoors, child care, fashion, laundry, Victorian ideals, cooking, music, shopping, health care and a collection of movie theater memorabilia as owned by the Moores and the Jones who also operated theaters in Bly, Oregon and Dorris, California.</p><br>
<p>The Leer Lutheran Church, also known as the Norwegian Lutheran Church is a church located at 10430 South Leer Road, near Leer in Long Rapids Township, Michigan. The church grounds include a parish house, cemetery, and pavilion, as well as the church itself. The church is substantially the same as when it was built. Highlights include an altar painting by Sarah Kirkeberg Raugland, and an unusual pressed metal interior in the parish house. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>By the 1870s, the town of Alpena had a sizable Norwegian community, many members of which had recently emigrated from Lier, Norway. With money from their lumbering jobs, members of the community purchased nearby land and founded the community of Leer, with the first permanent settlers arriving in the town in 1879. In 1882, a Norwegian Lutheran Church Society was organized in Leer at the home of Andreas and Gunhild Christopherson. The Reverend Peder lsberg, pastor of the Norwegian Lutheran congregation in Alpena, agreed to travel to Leer four times yearly for services. The Leer congregation met in a local school, and started a building fund with the intention of constructing a church.</p><br>
<p>In 1883, the congregation purchased a plot of land for $1.00 from Karl Burud, on the condition that it be used for a church and cemetery. The first burial in the cemetery occurred in 1885. By 1898, the fund drive was nearing completion, and a building committee was appointed to determine construction details. The final design was based on a German Lutheran church (no longer extant) located in nearby Krakow Township in Presque Isle County. The cornerstone of the church was laid on September 7, 1899, and the remainder of the church was constructed by carpenter Joseph F. Bammel for $3,000. It was completed in 1900.</p><br>
<p>In 1916, a parish house was constructed for $800.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Norwegian Lutheran Church is a rectangular wood frame vernacular Gothic Revival church, measuring 50 ft by 31 ft, with a gable roof and a fieldstone and concrete foundation. It has a centrally positioned, rectangular bell tower 63 ft high that projects from the front facade. The church entrance is in the base of the tower and is reached via a set of concrete steps. Above the entrance is a single stained glass window. Similar windows line the longer sides of the church. The church was originally constructed of local materials, but is presently clad in white vinyl siding.</p><br>
<p>Inside the church entrance is a small vestibule, along with a cry room and restroom (converted from a former coat room), beyond which is the entrance to the nave. The nave has two rows of eight oak pews with a center aisle. In the front are the chancel, altar, and pulpit, which are flanked by the pastor&#39;s dressing room, and another vestibule leading to a rear exit. A balcony is in the rear of the church. The original wood floor is covered with carpeting. Perhaps the most unusual aspect of the interior is the altar painting, Crucifixion, by Sarah Kirkeberg Raugland, which is attached to the rear wall of the chancel.</p><br>
<p>A two-story parish house is situated adjacent to the church. It is a wood frame structure with a gambrel roof and concrete block foundation, approximately 40 ft by 27 ft. It is clad with vinyl siding, and has a main entrance reached by ten concrete steps. A later single-story addition projects to one side.</p><br>
<p>The upper floor of the historic section of the parish house is a single open space, and is in substantially original condition. The walls and ceiling are covered with elaborate embossed and painted pressed metal panels. The metal panels form wainscoting and an upper rail, and transition to different patterns above the rail. An oak staircase connects the upper floor to the lower. The lower floor, which has been significantly modernized, houses a kitchen, dining and social space, bathroom, and a small office.</p><br>
<p>The cemetery fronts the church property, and contains upright, flat, and obelisk headstones, crafted from granite and marble. Various cedars, yews, pines, and shrubs area scattered throughout the property. A modern pavilion is also located near the church. This structure is an open air gabled structure, with the roof supported by wooden posts sitting on a concrete pad, and an enclosed kitchen and utility facility on one end. The pavilion is modern, built to take the place of the original horse stalls.</p><br>
<h2>Highams Park Lake</h2><br>
<p>Highams Park Lake was formed in the early 19th century by the famous landscape gardener Humphry Repton, he diverted the Ching which flooded the site to create the lake. The lake was part of the grounds of the Large Manor Of Highams, built in 1768 and converted into a hospital for wounded soldiers during the Crimean war of 1853-1856, and today the Woodford County High School for Girls. The lake was given to the public in the late 19th century.</p><br>
<p>There has been a boating history for over 100 years on this lake with an "old boat house" but it is not in use today. Canoes are now more commonly used on the lake in the 21st century and stored elsewhere.</p><br>
<p>The lake was featured on the BBC "Blue Peter" children&#39;s programme in the late 1970s, when the whole boat house roof had to be lifted off to get the large yacht that had been restored inside it by the club members onto a large craned lorry to take the vessel to the sea. Money was raised by the youngsters collecting old news papers from the Chingford and Highams Park community once a week and then selling them by weight, the yacht club owner helped them to build the club boats, a single sailed yacht scaled down to child size a great yacht (mostly Flies) and only charged about 45p a week club fees to boys that could afford it, for the rest it wss free. Other yachts used at the time in the 1960s throughout until the 1980s on the lake was the Moth IV (Larger boat than the Flies) the Fly class boats were built at the clubhouse by the club owner Ken Ford and the boys who were members of the LEE AVON SAILING CLUB the boys came from a wide variety of social classes but all learned valuable woodworking, sailing and community skills. The fly class boats were also built "on stand" at the London boat show for some years hoping to gain commercial recognition, sadly the (ugly) Mirror dingy promoted by the newspaper overshadowed these wonderfull yachts built for and by the children that sailed them.</p><br>
<h2>Highams Park</h2><br>
<p>Highams Park is a large area of parkland adjacent to the lake. In the 1940s "Prefab" houses were built and stood above the lake, they were demolished in 1969. The park borders Woodford Green and reaches close to Chingford Hatch.</p><br>
<h2>Maintenance</h2><br>
<p>Highams Park Lake</p><br>
<p>Reference from the :Following the panel engineer&#39;s report major works are planned for the Highams Park Lake area over the next 3 years. Highams Park has been upgraded to a Category A Reservoir, which means that flooding at the site has the potential to cause deaths. We would like to ensure that any work undertaken is sensitive to the Repton landscape, which is one of his Red Book designs. The existing dam will need to be raised and it will no doubt prove to be a challenge to do this sympathetically to the Repton landscape.</p><br>
<p>Towne Farm is a historic farm complex at 55 Towne Road in Boxford, Massachusetts. It is the most complete remaining farm complex in the town, and is also notable for its long association with the locally prominent Towne family, which owned the surviving farmland and surrounding land from 1777 until the 1930s. The 16.9 acre was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012.</p><br>
<p>John Towne first came to Boxford, then a rural agricultural town, in 1777, buying half of a parcel of land belonging to his brother-in-law. He lived in the c. 1756 house on the property until 1790, when his son built the current farmhouse; the old house was demolished. Towne died in 1830, at which time his property passed to his son Samuel. Samuel sold the farmstead and 75 acre to his son Henry in 1845. These three generations of Townes appear to have been subsistence farmers, although Henry appears to have supplemented his income by engaging in the manufacture of shoes.</p><br>
<p>Henry Towne sold the property (now 95 acre) to his son Hiram, who was principally in the lumbering business, but continued to maintain the farm. It is during his ownership that a number of the surviving outbuildings were built: a windmill and water tower were built in the first decade of the 20th century, but a henhouse, cottage, and camp house have not survived. He also made some modifications to the farmhouse, adding bay windows and a single story porch to its front.</p><br>
<p>Hiram Towne died childless in 1932, and the farm was transferred out of the family two years later. Much of the Towne&#39;s land was given to the state, and forms part of Boxford State Forest. The farm portion went through a succession of owners in the 20th century, during which time additional neighboring parcels were sometimes added to the property. One large tract (89 acre) was sold in 2001 to a conservation organization, and others have been subdivided for residential development. In 2009 the farm complex and about 17 acre of land were acquired by i-Farm LLC, which has been working to restore the farm to working order.</p><br>
<p>St Andrews Anglican Church is a heritage-listed churchyard at 160 Vulture Street, South Brisbane, City of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. It was built from 1878 to 1932. It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 21 October 1992.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>St Andrew&#39;s Anglican Church at South Brisbane was constructed in several stages: 1878-1883, 1887, and 1931-1932, as funds became progressively available.</p><br>
<p>The first Anglican church in South Brisbane had been built on the corner of Grey and Melbourne Streets. The construction of St Andrews reflected the growing population of the area and the general move of residential and public buildings up the hill away from the flood-prone area of first settlement. Flamboyant Italian architect Andrea Stombuco was commissioned to design St Andrews, which was to be a substantial structure in stone. Stombuco, who had designed a number of ecclesiastical buildings for the Catholic Church, including St Josephs Christian Brothers College on Gregory Terrace (1875-1876), Rathbawn (a house built for Roman Catholic Bishop of Brisbane, James Quinn) at Nudgee (1875-1878) and St Marys Roman Catholic Presbytery in Ipswich (1875), envisaged a grand structure for St Andrew&#39;s, with a prominent tower and spire.</p><br>
<p>Work commenced in 1878, but was abandoned when the walls had reached a height of only 6 feet (1.8 metres). Stombucos design had proved beyond the financial means of the parish, and work did not resume until 1882. The chancel, transepts and first bay of the nave were completed in the following year by the builder James OKeeffe. An 1887 extension was designed by architect Hezekiah Watson King Martin, who had recently arrived in Brisbane from London, and was an active member of the St Andrew&#39;s congregation.</p><br>
<p>In 1887, architect John H. Buckeridge designed the rectory for St Andrew’s Church and also extensions to it in 1892. The rectory was later relocated to 112 Airlie Road, Pullenvale and is used as a private home.</p><br>
<p>The parish hall was built in 1909 to a design by architect William Alfred Caldwell.</p><br>
<p>The continued growth in the congregation led to the completion of the nave in 1931-1932, under the supervision of architect Lange Leopold Powell. The tower and spire of Stombuco&#39;s design were never completed.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>St Andrews is a large Gothic-style limestone church, cruciform in shape.</p><br>
<p>In addition to the nave and transepts there is a portico at the front and a chancel at the western end. Both of these wings have a lower roof line than the nave. A small vestry is located to the north of the chancel and the half-built tower is to the south. There is a substantial subfloor beneath the church. The steeply pitched gable roof is of slate.</p><br>
<p>A notable feature of the building is the large stained glass windows, especially those located at the end of the chancel, portico and transepts.</p><br>
<p>The timber hall consists of a core surrounded by enclosed verandah wings. The core has a steeply pitched gable roof in corrugated iron and fine timber ceiling supported by timber trusses.</p><br>

<p>St Andrews Anglican Church was listed on the Queensland Heritage Register on 21 October 1992 having satisfied the following criteria.</p><br>
<p>The place is important in demonstrating the evolution or pattern of Queensland&apos;s history.</p><br>
<p>St Andrews Anglican Church is significant historically in demonstrating the expansion of the Anglican Church in Queensland, and the evolution of South Brisbane as a rival to North Brisbane in terms of commerce, municipal development and population increase, in the second half of the 19th century. The construction of St Andrews illustrates the move away from the river flats after the 1860s flood, and the growing popularity among the middle-class of the higher ridges in South Brisbane and Highgate Hill.</p><br>

<p>Albert Street Uniting Church is a heritage-listed church at 319 Albert Street , Brisbane City, City of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. It was designed by George Henry Male Addison and built from 1888 to 1889 by Thomas Pearson & Sons. It was originally known as Albert Street Methodist Church and Central Methodist Mission. It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 21 October 1992.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The first Methodist church in Brisbane, a modest brick chapel, was constructed in 1849 on the corner of Albert Street and Burnett Lane. It was replaced in 1856 by a larger building. By the early 1880s the congregation had grown substantially and in 1884 purchased a site on the corner of Albert and Ann Streets. A competition was held for the design of a new church which was won by G H M Addison.</p><br>
<p>The church was built for a cost of £10,000 by contractor Thomas Pearson & Sons. Other tradespeople included Petrie & Son (joinery), and Exton and Gough (stained glass windows). In keeping with the importance placed on music in Methodism, a large pipe organ was installed. It was built by George Benson of Manchester for a cost of £1,000. Five foundation stones were laid by prominent congregation members on 18 August 1888 and the church was officially opened on 8 November 1889.</p><br>
<p>In the 1920s a marble honour board was erected in the front entrance vestibule commemorating the members of the congregation who served in World War I. Additional stained glass windows were installed as memorials in 1944 and 1947. Restoration work was undertaken in 1974-75 and involved the replacement of the slate roof. Further repair work on the building has been undertaken over the years.</p><br>
<p>In 1907 the church became known as the Central Methodist Mission in recognition of its wider responsibilities as the main Methodist church in the city. The congregation has been involved in a variety of welfare activities and has developed an extensive network of accommodation and other services for aged people.</p><br>
<p>The church served as the symbolic centre of Methodism in Queensland. The Annual Conference was opened each year in the church and significant occasions for Methodists were celebrated there. With the formation of the Uniting Church in 1977, the church was renamed Albert Street Uniting Church.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>View from Ann Street, 2013</p><br>
<p>Albert Street Uniting Church is built of red brick with trimmings in white Oamaru limestone, now painted, and has a slate roof. It is an example of a Victorian Gothic Revival church with its cruciform plan shape, steeply pitched roof forms, the imposing spire beside the entry, and the heavy buttressing of the facades.</p><br>
<p>The entry to the church is from an open porch with three Gothic arches at the end of the nave. Similar arcades exist down the sides of the church. A single large Gothic opening with fine tracery is located above the entry porch. To the right of the entry is a tower rising to the octagonal spire which has tall dormers on four of its faces and four pinnacles at the corners of its base. The top of the spire has a wrought iron finial.</p><br>
<p>The roof on the nave also has small dormer ventilators. A side entry is to the right of the base of the tower and has a broad Gothic arch with a steeply pitched parapet topped by a Christian cross. The end of each transept has a rose window in the gable end above a pair of Gothic arched windows that in turn are above groups of smaller openings.</p><br>
<p>Internally, the nave floor slopes down towards the pulpit and the walls are rendered, with a timber boarded dado. The galleries contain tiered seating and are supported on cast iron columns with ornate capitals. The main ceiling and gallery soffits are diagonally boarded and finely carved timberwork is incorporated into the gallery railings, roof structure and furnishings.</p><br>
<p>The focus of the interior is the pulpit and organ. The pulpit is raised several metres above the floor, and reflects the importance in the Methodist tradition that was given to preaching. Above and behind the pulpit is a large decoratively painted pipe organ which reflects the value placed by Methodists on music and singing.</p><br>

<p>Weeroona Island is a 77 ha island in the Australian state of South Australia located in Germein Bay, Spencer Gulf between the city of Port Pirie and town of Port Germein. It features the wreck of the York, coastal shacks, sandy beaches and is connected with the mainland by a 300m long causeway spanning mangroves and tidal flats.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The western side of the island is free of mangroves and dominated by low energy beaches fronted by wide sand flats. Weeroona Island beach wraps around the western half of the 1 km wide island for 1.6 km, the eastern half being surrounded by mangroves. While detached from the mainland at high tide, at low tide it is linked by tidal flats. Road vehicle access is provided by a 300 m long causeway. Beaches border the southern, western and northern shore and generally consist of a narrow high tide beach. 20 shacks line the southern shore, and larger freehold titles are privately owned along the northern shore. Shorelines are backed by grassy slopes which rise to a 30 m high island crest. The beaches are fronted by a narrow strip of sand, behind which vegetated tidal flats extend for hundreds of metres north and south. The western side is an exception to this, where the spread of tidal flat vegetation is limited by the tidal channel.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Port Flinders</h3><br>
<p>In the 1850s, Weeroona Island was considered a prospective port location, and was known as Port Flinders. The port was to connect with the existing channel which serviced Port Pirie. It was considered for the possible conveyance of copper ore from Mount Remarkable and Melrose in the Southern Flinders Ranges. Port Pirie&#39;s continued expansion made the plan to establish Port Flinders obsolete.</p><br>
<h3>Wreck of the York</h3><br>
<p>Weerona Island is the last resting place of the York. The Adelaide Steam and Tug Company bought her in 1877 for use in Port Adelaide as a lighter. The ship was deliberately run aground on the island&#39;s southern side so that it could be used as a loading platform. From the loading platform, ketches could moor at Weeroona Island at high tide. Stone was then quarried on the island and transported back to Port Pirie to be used in the construction of its harbor. The wreck remains off the southern shore of the island and is exposed at low tide.</p><br>
<h3>Munitions Dump</h3><br>
<p>Around the time of World War II, the island was used as a munitions dump. In December 1951, the Army conducted a search for unexploded ordnance in adjacent waters following weekend training exercises. Two live bombs were located off Weeroona Island. Many more harmless bombs were present near the north-western corner of Weeroona Island, by the channel. Some of these were visible at low tide. Once located, the two live bombs were destroyed by Army personnel.</p><br>
<h3>Weeroona Holiday Camp</h3><br>
<p>In April 2013, Weeroona Island resident and historian Den Kennedy confirmed the ruins of the Weeroona Holiday Camp which was opened in 1929. The remains of a terrazzo floor, a winding dirt track and a rock-pool swimming pond exist on the island as relics of the former public camp.</p><br>
<p>It served as a holiday-makers’ retreat, complete with huts, tents and a dance hall. It was officially opened as the South Sea Palais on November 10, 1934. It was decorated with a cool green colour scheme and featured palms and bamboo. The camp came to life after the Broken Hill Associated Smelters used 13 barges to relocate the buildings from Weeroona Bay near Point Lowly on the western side of Spencer Gulf. The Weeroona Bay resort at Point Lowly had previously offered a place for smelter employees suffering poor health to relax and recover.</p><br>
<p>St Martins House is a heritage-listed former private hospital and now administration building within the grounds of St Johns Cathedral at 373 Ann Street, Brisbane City, City of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. It was designed by Lange Leopold Powell and built by Thomas Keenan. It is also known as St Martin&#39;s Hospital. It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 21 October 1992.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>St Martins House was built as a hospital by the Anglican Church as a memorial to those who had fought in World War I. The name St Martins Hospital was chosen as the Armistice of World War I (11 November 1918) had been signed on St Martin&#39;s day.</p><br>
<p>In 1920, architect Lange Powell won the competition for the St Martin&#39;s War Memorial Hospital. Powell was known to be skillful with pen, ink work and watercolour render, therefore he submitted a perspective rendering of the hospital which was described by the Most Reverened St Clair Donaldson, Archbishop of Brisbane, as "a gem in architecture". It was an accomplished design by an eminent local architect with an eclectic repertoire.</p><br>
<p>The proposed site was on Wickham Terrace where Anzac House now stands, but it was rejected because it was considered too far out of town.The hospital is constructed using mainly bricks and stone on solid rock foundations. Thomas Keenan and Son were assigned as the contractors of the project.</p><br>
<p>St Martin&#39;s Hospital was built by local contractor Thomas Keenan & Son for approximately &pound;46,000 ($92,000). The hospital was officially opened On 28 November 1922 and dedicated by the then Governor-General of Australia, Lord Forster.</p><br>
<p>The hospital was run by the Sisters of the Sacred Advent to care for the sick, and contained seven main wards, single rooms and two operating theatres. The main kitchen was built on the top floor, while smaller kitchens were installed on each floor for food distribution. Powell designed it with a close; however it was proven to be irrelevant in some ways as it cuts off air ventilation to the patient&#39;s room.</p><br>
<p>A children&#39;s wing was added in 1940. In 1945 a statue of St Martin, designed by William Bustard and crafted by Jack Muller was set in the Ann Street wall of the hospital.</p><br>
<p>In June 1971 the hospital was closed, and the patients moved to a new hospital at Zillmere. During the 1970s, plans to demolish the building were thwarted by a public campaign led by the Save St. Martin&#39;s Committee.</p><br>
<p>Recently the building was renovated, and in November 1990 St Martin&#39;s House was opened as the administrative headquarters for the Anglican Diocese. The top floor was converted to living quarters for the Precentor.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>St Martins House is built on stone foundations with external walls of brick with sandstone facings, and is roofed with terracotta shingle tiles. The building is organised in plan so as to create a series of protected courtyards around the south transept of St Johns Cathedral. This maintains the continuity of the system of closed spaces that surround the Cathedral on three sides. The base consists of Brisbane tuff, the ground floor to first floor&#39;s sill is made of sandstone and above this in brickwork with two stone string courses. The roof is high pitched and the windows are six paned pivot hung sash windows.</p><br>
<p>The massing of the building is centred on the service tower which has radiating wings. The tower has three levels and a basement while the remainder of the building is two storeyed. The facade oriented towards the cathedral is the most ornate, with a conical roof over the operating theatre, but that towards the south west with its cloister is also an important part of the building. Openings are a combination of square headed and semi-circular, segmented, and Gothic arches.</p><br>
<p>It is evident that Powell was fond of ornamental rainwater heads. On the cathedral elevation there are two rainwater heads with arms extending five feet on either side, giving the appearance of a cross. The entrance is rather insignificant and opens into the vestibule which is paneled in dark oak timber. There are private rooms on the cathedral side and small wards on the other, which open onto a wide balcony. The nurses’ quarters are in a two storey wing of Eton House, which is just adjacent to the hospital. A childrens wing was added in 1940 by John Darnell and the design is to blend with the main hospital. Although St Martins is arguably not the most practical design for a hospital, it was mentioned that Powell made the plan to suit the elevation.</p><br>
<p>The exterior is enhanced by the quality of the detailing including: the corbelled brickwork, cruciform rain-water spouts, and the statue of St Martin of Tours in a niche in the western gable.</p><br>
<p>Arts and Crafts elements are clearly evident, and visually there are many similarities with the house most identified with that movement in the United Kingdom, the Red House by Philip Webb. Gothic elements are also present and St Martin&#39;s complements the other buildings which form the cathedral group.</p><br>
<p>Internally almost all the evidence of the building&#39;s use as a hospital has been lost in its change to office and residential use. Although the joinery has been retained, the northern wards and central corridor have been combined into one large office area and suspended ceilings installed. The original top floor kitchen has been converted into living quarters. The southern verandah is enclosed, and a fire stair has been constructed behind the facade facing Ann Street.</p><br>

<p>The Felton House, also known as Billy Place, is a historic residence in Marshallville, Georgia. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 25, 1980. It is located on Route 1.</p><br>
<p>William Felton established residence on the stage road from Lanier, Georgia to Perry, Georgia, 4 miles west of Winchester, Georgia. He married Matilda Rushin and then after her death her sister Matilda Rushin. He built the home that was also used as a stage coach stop and tavern.</p><br>
<p>The home was designed what is referred to as Plantation Plain architecture style and includes brick chimneys, a two-story Greek Revival architecture portico and 11 foot ceilings. Barns and sheds were also constructed on the property and cotton was grown on the property. A railroad line was constructed on land ceded from the property.</p><br>
<p>Sara Sara is a 5,505 m volcano lying between Lake Parinacochas and Ocoña River in Peru. It is situated in the Parinacochas Province, Puyusca District, and in the Paucar del Sara Sara Province, in the districts of Pausa and Sara Sara.</p><br>
<p>The Spanish priest Cristobal de Albornoz noted in 1583 that Sara Sara was one of the most important sacred places in the southern part of Peru, with 2,000 colonists sent by the Inca emperor for its service. The American archaeologist Johan Reinhard surveyed a site on its summit in 1983 and he and Peruvian archaeologist Jose Antonio Chavez led a team that uncovered more than a dozen statues and a female Inca mummy (later nicknamed Sarita) on the summit in 1996. Their expedition was transmitted "live" over the Internet. The findings made on Sara Sara are currently stored at the Museo de Santuarios Andinos in Arequipa.</p><br>
<p>The archaeological group of Sara Sara was recommended to be declared a National Cultural Heritage in 2003.</p><br>

<p>Rat Hole is one of the entrances to the Gaping Gill cave system, located in the north bank of Fell Beck 30 m upstream of Gaping Gill Main Shaft. A small, awkward, tube-like passage descends into a stream passage, and hence to a 100 m shaft into Gaping Gill Main Chamber. The sharp and loose nature of the rock, and the quantity of water prevented full exploration for over 80 years, but the current route is described in one guide book as "a technical and exhilarating adventure". It lies within the designated Ingleborough Site of Special Scientific Interest.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Rat Hole is an inlet feeding the Gaping Gill main shaft complex.</p><br>
<p>A snug crawl of about 25 m with a few bends passes a couple of minor inlets before dropping down a 3 m climb. The passage below almost immediately joins a stream passage flowing from the left, carrying the Rat Hole Sink water.</p><br>
<p>Upstream, easy going leads to the Rat Hole Sink entrance. Downstream leads after a few metres to a 5 m pitch at the bottom of which the water disappears down a gully, the way on being across some chock stone boulders to the main pitch. A descent of this is objectively dangerous, as it takes all the water and passes areas of sharp, tottering flakes. The current route descends a few metres but then swings into the rift to the east. From here a pendulum traverse leads to a ledge overlooking the impressive adjacent Mousehole (pronounced ) shaft.</p><br>
<p>Above the ledge an aven leads to a small inlet passage. Across the pitch, a traverse leads to a draughting passage which passes under two small avens before becoming too tight.</p><br>
<p>Mousehole terminates in a floor with a window through to the Gaping Gill rift, but the route deviates to the south and finishes on a large well-watered scoop-shaped ledge after a 49 m descent. A short traverse to the east leads to the final 35 m pitch, which lands in the Main Chamber.</p><br>
<p>Rat Hole Sink is located 10 m upstream of the main entrance where the water sinks. The entrance is normally covered with a grating. Below this a squirm downwards leads straight into the upstream passage of Rat Hole. When the stream is diverted, Rat Hole Sink provides easier access to the Rat Hole pitches than the traditional entrance.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>During the Yorkshire Ramblers&#39; Club initial explorations of Gaping Gill the entrance to Rat Hole was buried under a bank of boulder clay, but this had washed clear by 1909. The cave was explored by C. Wingfield and E. Addyman as far as the junction with the main stream, and was surveyed by H. Brodrick and L. Slingsby, and with Wingfield, explored as far as the big pitch. This was plumbed to a ledge 33 m above the Main Chamber floor in 1912 by Wingfield, which he succeeded in reaching in 1913 by traversing across from Lateral Shaft, which was used at the time for winch descents.</p><br>
<p>Rat Hole Sink was first identified as a major water sink by the Yorkshire Ramblers&#39; Club in 1912 when they were conducting a survey of Fell Beck, its sinks, and associated passages. It was referred to as both P14 and Rat Hole Sink.</p><br>
<p>In 1935, Craven Pothole Club took up the challenge of the undescended big pitch and after dragging in over 70 m of rope ladder with associated lifelines, Arnold Waterfall and Edgar Smith achieved the first descent into Main Chamber, but no one made the ascent.</p><br>
<p>Interest in Rat Hole then waned, and by 1960 the entrance passage was choked. In 1983 the Craven Pothole Club started to dig out the sink, P14, as well as the entrance to Rat Hole itself, and continued their efforts the following year. P14 was the first to go and was named Rat Hole Sink, and the main entrance succumbed soon after.</p><br>
<p>An attempt was then made to rig the pitch for SRT. One member started the descent but soon found himself amidst a forest of sharp and loose flakes. He reached the main ledge at -60 m and decided to retreat. This plan was foiled when he discovered that the rope had almost cut through 10 m above the ledge, and he had to return to the ledge leaving some of his ascending gear still attached to the rope. He then had a draughty wait for several hours before someone in the Main Chamber was able to confirm that his second rope reached the floor.</p><br>
<p>Mike Wooding and John Gardner picked up the baton in late 1985, and in establishing a safer SRT route, discovered the Mousehole shaft which proved to be the key to the modern descent.</p><br>
<p>The route was P-bolted and straightened up by Mike Wooding in 2004 / 2005, and in doing so he climbed an aven to a small passage above the first stance in Mousehole.</p><br>
<p>Swampscott Cemetery is a historic cemetery at 400 Essex Street in Swampscott, Massachusetts. It is the towns only cemetery, and was established in 1852, not long after the towns incorporation. About 20 acre of the cemetery&#39;s 30 hectare have been listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Its historic portion is a representative of the rural cemetery movement that was popular in the 19th century, with meandering lanes and natural landscaping.</p><br>
<h2>Layout and history</h2><br>
<p>For organizational purposes the town has divided the cemetery into four districts, lettered A through D, which were roughly developed in chronological order and are laid out from west to east. In the oldest part, Section A, parcels are large family plots that front on either one of the main circulating roads, or smaller roadways that run between them. The oldest stone in this section dates to 1844, likely representing the movement of the burial to this cemetery at a later date. The most notable plots in this section are two military sites, one established by the Grand Army of the Republic for the burials of veterans of the American Civil War and the War of 1812, and one established by the American Legion for World War I veterans.</p><br>
<p>Section B, located north and east of Section A, was developed between 1880 and the 1910s. It contains more varied terrain than the older section, and its rocky terrain made placement of graves more difficult. Its notable elements include a series of hillside tombs, including a receiving tomb designed by Lynn architect Henry Warren Rogers and completed in 1924. The area also marks a stylistic transition from family plots, which predominate in Section A, to individual plots. This section is also the location of the cemetery&#39;s most prominent feature, the Andrews Chapel. This Late Gothic building was designed by Charles Vernon Burgess and completed in 1924. Its construction was funded by Ellen T. Andrews in memorial for her late husband Isaac.</p><br>
<p>Section C was developed in the 1920s on land acquired from an adjacent estate to the east of Andrews Chapel. Its terrain is even rockier than that of Section B, and there are significant sections that are impossible to use for burial purposes. Its centerpiece is a Veterans Lot, laid out to provide burial space for World War II and later veterans. The most prominent site in this section is the cemetery&#39;s only above-ground private crypt, that of C. F. Knowlton.</p><br>
<p>The last portion of the cemetery to be developed was Section D, beginning in the 1960s. Unlike earlier sections, it features a more regular rectangular layout of roadways, paths, and burial sites.</p><br>
<p>The three oldest sections of the cemetery, totalling about 20 acres, were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.</p><br>
<p>The Commercial Sea Port of Sochi  is a seaport on the Black Sea, the main focus of which is marine passenger transportation. Its headquarters is in the Central District of Sochi, Krasnodar Krai, Russia.</p><br>
<h2>Overview</h2><br>
<p>The port has two passenger berths that have a total length of 330 m, and can accommodate vessels up to 220 meters with a draft of 8.5 m. The port does not freeze; marine navigation is possible year round. Through it are provided passenger service from Poti and Batumi in Georgia, and cargo service to the Turkish ports of Trabzon and Istanbul. The seaport is a major railway station complex, which was built in 1955.</p><br>
<p>In 2013 the port was modernized as part of the renovations in the city for the 2014 Winter Olympics. New berths were constructed. Sochi seaport is now able to admit cruise ships up to 300 meters long almost all year round. Before reconstruction the seaport of Sochi could admit only cruise ships up to 200 meters long. After the reconstruction the port was able to admit simultaneously two cruise ships and a ferry. In addition, hydrotechnical facilities were capitally repaired and the front side promenade was tidied up.</p><br>
<p>The Alex Loeb Building is a historic structure in Meridian, Mississippi located at 2115 5th Street. Built in 1926, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<p>The building was long home to a business owned by Alexander M. Loeb, an immigrant from Germany and a prominent figure in Meridians history. The company was established in 1887 and was originally located on 25th Avenue. The company moved to the Rosenbaum Building, another iconic structure in downtown Meridian, in 1898 and remained there until 1926, when the current structure was built. The site of the building was previously home to J.H. ONeill Marble Works, established in 1869 as one of the oldest businesses in the city.</p><br>
<p>The three-story building is one of many in Meridian designed by architect P.J. Krouse. Its most notable features include a terracotta decoration in the top bays as well as a parapet above each bay trimmed by terracota. The building also features a first floor canopy supported by heavy chains which emanate from the heads of lions attached under the second floor windows. Loeb is a habitational name for someone living at a house distinguished by the sign of a lion.</p><br>
<p>The Taubenkopf is a hill, about 604 m high, in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate. It is part of the mountain chain of the Haardt in the Palatine Forest and lies in the municipal territory of Diedesfeld in the borough of Neustadt an der Weinstraße.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The Taubenkopf, like the hills of Breitenberg, Wetterkreuzberg, Hüttenberg and the Kanzel, is one of the outlying peaks on the Kalmit massif. Its summit lies 100 m from the Kalmitstraße road (L515) and ca. 500 m northeast of the summit of the Kalmit itself, the highest peak in the Palatine Forest region. Before storm damage and the subsequent removal of wood, the summit dome was in the shape of a dove&#39;s head (Taubenkopf). Following the deforestation there is a 270 degree outlook from west (into the Palatine Forest) through north (Hohe Loog) to east (Klausental, Sommerberg and the Rhine Plain). Few hilltops of this height so close to the Rhine Plain have been cleared of trees.</p><br>
<h2>Tourism</h2><br>
<p>The Taubenkopf is an important hub for several walking routes, which converge 20 metres in height below the summit. These are the blue and white waymarked path from the Totenkopf via the Hahnenschritt, the white and green main trail from Maikammer and the unmarked Klausental to Diedesfeld footpath (the Hinkelstein Path).</p><br>
<p>The Wetterkreuzberg is a hill in the Haardt range on the eastern edge of the Palatine Forest in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>The Wetterkreuzberg, like the Breitenberg, the Taubenkopf and the Kanzel, is one of the outlying peaks of the Kalmit massif. It is located in an exposed location right on the edge of the Haardt so that, despite its low elevation, it is seen from places in the Rhine Plain as a prominent peak. To the north the hill is linked to the Kanzel over a shallow saddle. At the summit is a chapel to St. Mary (the Maria-Schutz-Kapelle) which is visible from a long way off. The hill belongs to the parish of Maikammer.</p><br>
<p>The Kalmitstraße road, which runs from Maikammer to the Hüttenhohl runs across the hill. Just below the summit there is a walker&#39;s car park. The summit may be gained on footpaths from the Maikammer hamlet of Alsterweiler, from St. Martin or even from the Klausental Hut.</p><br>
