<p>The Donegan Block is a historic commercial building in Huntsville, Alabama. Built in 1870, it and the adjacent building, the Rand Building, represent a simplified Italianate architecture style common in smaller towns in the late 19th century. It is one of few remaining Italianate buildings which once were prevalent on Courthouse Square. The -story building is divided into four units, each three bays wide. The units are divided on the façade by brick pilasters, which were originally faced with cast iron on the ground floor. The two eastern units are combined, and share an entrance flanked by two multi-paned fixed windows on each side. The other two units have central entrances with one window on each side. The three eastern units are treated similarly, with triangular pediments and pilasters surrounding each door and window. The western unit had been modified with a recessed entry and windows, but these were later returned flush with the building and are topped with fanlights and segmental brick arches. Second floor windows on all four units are tall and narrow with arched tops and roll moldings with keystones. The attic level has short vents treated similarly to the second floor windows. A bracketed and denticulated metal cornice projects from the top of the building. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>The Rand Building is a historic commercial building in Huntsville, Alabama. Built in 1883, it and the adjacent building, the Donegan Block, represent a simplified Italianate architecture style common in smaller towns in the late 19th century. It is one of few remaining Italianate buildings which once were prevalent on Courthouse Square. The two-story green-painted brick building has an elaborate bracketed metal cornice with decorative panels between the brackets. The street-level façade has large four-pane fixed windows supported by paneled bulkheads, with a central recessed entry. A second row of smaller windows runs above the first, below a smoothed concrete header panel which along which an awning runs the width of the building. On the second floor, three two-over-two sash windows with segmental arched tops are in a frame recessed one course from the rest of the building. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>The Montgomery County Courthouse, located in Courthouse Square in Hillsboro, is the county courthouse serving Montgomery County, Illinois. While the courthouse was originally built in 1833-35, it did not attain its current form until an extensive remodeling in 1868-71. Architect G. P. Randall designed the remodeled courthouse in the Second Empire style. The courthouses design features two towers: a square tower enclosing a staircase at the southwest corner, and a tower with a mansard roof at the southeast corner. The courthouses cornice, which runs along the roof line and the bottom of the mansard roof, features decorative brackets. Since the renovated courthouse reopened, it has continuously served as the seat of county government functions.</p><br>
<p>The courthouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 28, 1994.</p><br>
<p>The Litchfield Public Library is a Carnegie library located at 400 N. State St. in Litchfield, Illinois. The library was built in 1904-05 through a $10,000 donation from the Carnegie Foundation. Litchfields library program had been in existence since 1882; prior to the construction of the library, it had been housed in the Cline Building and later the First National Bank, but by the early 1900s it had outgrown these spaces. Architect Paul Moratz designed the library building in the Classical Revival style. Litchfields Womens Club and Chamber of Commerce ran the library for its first few decades and provided funds for improvements such as restrooms. In addition, a childrens library program began in 1914 through the assistance of the public school system. The library still serves Litchfield and holds a collection of 34,000 books.</p><br>
<p>The library was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 12, 1999.</p><br>
<p>The Lewis H. Thomas House is a historic house located on North Virden Road near Virden, Illinois. The house was built in 1863-65 for agriculturalist Lewis H. Thomas and formed the centerpiece of his farm. Architect Elijah E. Myers, who also designed three state capitol buildings, planned the Victorian house. Thomas extensively used hedge fencing with bois d&#39;arc on his farm and is considered a pioneer of the technique in Illinois. In addition, his farm was known for its livestock and became a local tourist attraction due to its unusual animals, which included peacocks, bears, and deer. After its roof was lost to a fire, the house was renovated in 1888.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 7, 1983.</p><br>
<p>The George Blackman House is a historic house located at 904 S. Main St. in Hillsboro, Illinois. The house was built in 1842-43 by George Blackman, a local blacksmith and woodworker. Blackman designed his house in a style similar to Southern Creole cottages. Such houses had never before been built in Montgomery County, which historically preferred designs inspired by New England architecture, but Blackmans Southern-inspired features were more appropriate for the local climate. The -story house features a recessed open porch supported by thin columns and is topped by a low roof. The houses open floor plan includes six rooms laid out around a central hall.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 6, 1986.</p><br>
<p>The Samuel Moody Grubbs House is a historic house located at 805 E. Union Ave. in Litchfield, Illinois. The house was built in 1873-74 for Samuel Moody Grubbs, a banker who later became Litchfields mayor. George Ingham Barnett, a prominent St. Louis architect, designed the Second Empire house; it is the only standing Barnett design in Illinois. The design is typical of the second half of Barnetts career, when he shifted from Italianate to Second Empire designs, and represents a popular style in postbellum America. A mansard roof with slate tiles tops the house; a cornice running along the roofline features paired brackets. The front of the house features a wraparound porch supported by columns. The house&#39;s corners have bold quoins. In a deviation from the typical rectangular plans of Second Empire houses, Barnett gave the house a cross axis plan with projecting wings.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 21, 1990.</p><br>
<p>The Freeman-Brewer-Sawyer House is a historic house located at 532 S. Main St. in Hillsboro, Illinois. The Greek Revival house was built in 1840, during the height of the style&#39;s popularity in the United States. The two-story house features six-over-six windows and a front entrance framed by pilasters, sidelights, and a transom; in addition, it originally had a portico supported by Doric columns. In 1904, the portico was replaced by a Classical Revival porch; the rounded, projecting porch features a balustrade along its roof, egg-and-dart molding, dentillation, and urn-shaped finials.</p><br>
<p>The house was originally owned by Sally Freeman and her family. In 1849, Judge William Brewer purchased the house, which has remained in his family through at least the 1990s. Brewer&#39;s daughter Sarah and her husband A. A. K. Sawyer were responsible for the Classical porch.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 5, 1992.</p><br>
<p>The Manske–Niemann Farm is a historic 462 acre farm complex located at 13 Franks Lane near Litchfield, Illinois. The farm was most likely established in the 1850s and was purchased by German immigrant Michael Manske in 1863. Manske and his family developed and expanded the farm in three main stages. The first stage, completed in the 1860s and 1870s, included the original I-house, horse barn, and smokehouse. In the 1890s, the family added a granary, corncrib, cow barn, and other buildings to the farm, representing shifts in the farms crops and livestock. An expansion in the first two decades of the 20th century included a third barn, numerous animal sheds and feed buildings, and structures needed for the mechanization of the farm, such as a gas pump and car shed. The farm remains in the Manske–Niemann family and was owned by Michael Manskes great-great-granddaughter Ophelia Niemann as of 2002; it is a well-preserved example of a German immigrant farmstead.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 27, 2003.</p><br>
<p>The former West Somers Methodist Episcopal Church, also known as Tomahawk Chapel, is located on Tomahawk Street  in the town of Somers, New York, United States. It is a small wooden building in the Greek Revival architectural style built in the 1830s. Also on its lot is the cemetery where many of the early members were buried. In 2011 the church, cemetery and the stone wall that surrounds them were listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>At the time of the churchs construction, West Somers was a thriving agricultural community. Burials had begun in the cemetery almost a decade earlier; most of the areas congregants attended the established Mount Zion Methodist Church some distance away. One of West Somerss more prominent residents built the church so his neighbors would not always have to travel so far; it was so small that circus pioneer Hachaliah Bailey, also a Somers resident, likened it to a tigers cage.</p><br>
<p>Throughout the rest of the 19th century the church was a cornerstone of the West Somers community, with itinerant ministers leading services in the absence of a pastor (according to the United Methodist Church, successor to the Methodist Episcopal Church, the church was never a recognized congregation within the larger denomination). Its Sunday school classes were for a long time the only educational opportunity available to area children. Members continued to be buried in the cemetery; more than half lived to be over 70, an unusually high number for that region and era.</p><br>
<p>Attendance and involvement declined in the early 20th century as West Somers felt the effects of suburbanization and the taking of large tracts of local land to create the reservoirs of the New York City water supply system. By the 1950s the church building had suffered such severe decline and neglect that its porch columns had to be replaced. Further restoration and renovation, including moving the church from its original site in the early 21st century, preceded the building&#39;s listing on the National Register.</p><br>
<h2>Buildings and grounds</h2><br>
<p>The former church building and cemetery occupy a 1.59 acre lot on the west side of Tomahawk, To its north and south are houses on large lots; across the road and slightly to the south is a bar surrounded by a parking lot. On the west is the 66.5 acre town-owned Koegel Park, through which the North County Trailway passes. The headwaters of the Muscoot River are beyond.</p><br>
<p>Like the park, the surrounding area is predominantly wooded, with some areas such as backyards and the immediate vicinity of the church cleared; this becomes more extensive to the church lots north. The terrain is gently hilly, with the churchs lot a small rise between the road and the 668 ft hill at the center of the park. To the east the land slopes more steeply to the hamlet of Shenorock and the headwaters of a short unnamed tributary of the Muscoot that, along with nearby Lake Shenorock, drains into the reservoir.</p><br>
<h3>Church</h3><br>
<p>The church building itself is a 22 by wood frame clapboard-sided structure on an exposed concrete block foundation faced in stone. It is topped by a shingled front-gabled roof. On each facade are two 12-over-8 double-hung sash windows, not symmetrically placed.</p><br>
<p>On the churchs east (front) facade is a 6-by-15-foot (6.5 by) shed-roofed porch. Several piles of loose stones help support the wooden deck. In turn, two smooth round wooden Doric columns support the shingled roof. Below the rooflines overhanging eave is a wide plain frieze.</p><br>
<p>A single wood-paneled door leads into the church&#39;s interior, with a wood floor and coved ceiling. Between them are plaster walls wainscoted with horizontal tongue and groove boards topped by molding at the windowsill level. In the walls are the original metal hardware for placing lanterns.</p><br>
<p>The original 14 straight high-backed wooden pews remain, angled towards the entrance and facing the pulpit, on a raised curved platform against the west wall, fronted by a communion rail. There is an opening for a stove (no longer extant) in the middle of the pews. In the center of the platform is a wooden lectern.</p><br>
<h3>Cemetery</h3><br>
<p>To the west of the church building is the cemetery, really two plots that have grown together over the years. The most conspicuous is that of the Miller family, descended from church builder Thomas Tompkins Miller, located a short distance south of the church. It has a tall obelisk to Miller himself in the middle of a small area delineated by a tasseled iron railing on stone posts. The other plot is located due west of the church. It has some smaller monuments and family plots marked off by iron railings less elaborate than the Millers&#39;.</p><br>
<p>In total there are 76 markers commemorating 95 burials. The earliest is a 10-month-old girl who died in 1831; the most recent burial took place in 1977. Many are members of the same families in groups; among them are eight veterans of wars from the Revolutionary War, War of 1812, Civil War, Spanish–American War and World War I. More than half were recorded to have been 70 or over at the time of their deaths, an unusually high longevity rate for the era and the region.</p><br>
<p>The markers themselves exhibit the evolution of funerary art during the 19th century. Many are marble or granite; they feature common tombstone motifs of the period such as willows and urns. Earlier markers use script lettering while later ones are in block. They also show the evolution in dating that took place over that time: on the older markers the deceased&#39;s date of death and exact age in years, months and days is given, while later ones simply give the span of life in birth and death years as has been common practice since.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The church was built during the early settlement of northern Westchester County, a time when rapidly spreading Methodism was the predominant denomination among those who came to the area. It was most active in the decades after it was built, but suffered greatly after the Civil War. In the 20th and 21st centuries its history has primarily been one of preservation efforts.</p><br>
<h3>1800–1830: Settlement</h3><br>
<p>Starting during the Revolution, settlers in search of good farmland began working their way up the Muscoot River from its confluence with the Croton River. Those who reached today&#39;s West Somers and cleared the lowlands around the river were rewarded with some of the most fertile soil along it. Good roads and the rivers of the time made it easy to ship their produce to the markets of New York City to the south.</p><br>
<p>By the early years of the 19th century the area had been totally settled. Industry joined the farmers along the banks of the river, using its hydraulic power for various kinds of milling. Somers then was one of Westchester Countys economic centers, more populous than the county seat at White Plains. West Somers, where some of the earliest inhabitants had settled, had a general store and blacksmiths shop serving the farms and mills.</p><br>
<p>A post office was established in 1830. By then West Somers was a regular stop on livestock drives along the Peekskill–Danbury Turnpike, the predecessor road to today&#39;s USA Route 202 across the county. Thriving though it was, the community still lacked a house of worship.</p><br>
<p>At that time Methodism was the prevalent Protestant denomination in the area. The Mount Zion Methodist Church (also listed on the National Register), closer to the center of Somers today, was only the third Methodist church in the state when it was established and built in 1794. Many of the West Somers settlers went there for worship.</p><br>
<h3>1837–1863: Construction</h3><br>
<p>In 1830 a schism in American Methodism over the issue of church governance led to the establishment of the Methodist Episcopal Church and the Methodist Protestant Church. The latter eschewed bishops and allowed local congregations greater say in their own affairs. It had more appeal to Americans of the era, and in 1837 a group called the Methodist Protestant Society of West Somers bought a half-acre (0.5 acre) parcel on the present site for $100 ($ in modern dollars) Thomas Tompkins Miller, a builder who was one of the society&#39;s trustees, a town justice of the peace and a descendant of one of the older families in West Somers, built the church himself.</p><br>
<p>There had already been some church activity in the area. A ten-month-old girl&#39;s 1831 burial is the oldest in the cemetery plots. Attendance books from that era kept by the Somers Historical Society suggest that Sunday school, an important part of Methodist ministry, had been held in West Somers starting as early as that year. For many local children it would be their only educational opportunity, as all other schools that existed at the time were too far away.</p><br>
<p>Aesthetically the church reflects the exhortation of early Methodist bishop Francis Asbury, who frequently preached at Mount Zion, that the denomination&#39;s houses of worship should be "plain and decent, but no more expensive than absolutely unavoidable." Like the similarly austere Mount Zion, West Somers is an extremely restrained application of a contemporary neoclassical architectural style. At the time of its construction, it did not have the porch it presently does, although its roof was pierced by a single brick chimney that is no longer extant.</p><br>
<p>The small size of the church attracted some notice at the time. Due to its small size, and lack of a pastor, the church would later be locally known as the Tomahawk Chapel after the street it was on. Hachaliah Bailey, the Somers resident who pioneered the American circus by exhibiting an elephant at what is now known as the Elephant Hotel, observed that "Tom Miller is building a church no bigger than a tiger&#39;s cage."</p><br>
<p>There is no record that the church was ever assigned a pastor. Services were held by the many itinerant ministers in the area. Greater matters were handled through the more established churches in the area, such as the Yorktown-Croton Lake church in Pines Bridge.</p><br>
<p>In 1844, a further schism, this one over slavery, divided the Methodist Episcopal Church. The abolitionist Northern branch began to implement some of the same reforms in church governance that had caused the split with the Methodist Protestants 16 years earlier, and relations between the two began to thaw. In 1863, during the Civil War, West Somers changed its denomination to affiliate with the Northern Methodist Episcopal Church. The same year, it purchased the one-acre (4,000 m) lot next to the church with the intention of building a new church on it.</p><br>
<h3>1864–1910: Decline of congregation</h3><br>
<p>After the war ended, the church went into decline. Older members died and were buried in the cemetery; younger ones left the area. They were not so easily replaced. Somers&#39; early economic advantages had been offset when the railroads, which had begun extending themselves into Westchester during the 1840s, grew out having bypassed the town, and newcomers to the region settled where the tracks were. The planned new church was never built.</p><br>
<p>Shortly after the war the original West Somers Methodist Protestant Society, no longer sustainable due to its diminished numbers, turned the church property over to the Methodist Episcopal Society of the Cortlandt Circuit. They had the property surveyed for conversion into a cemetery in 1874, but never followed through with that project, and in 1877 gave it up. The Mount Zion Circuit took over.</p><br>
<p>In the last decades of the 19th century further changes in northern Westchester negatively affected the West Somers church. The railroads began to spur suburbanization, as city residents who originally spent their summers and weekends in the area began to realize that they could live there full-time and commute to their jobs in the city via train. The growing city, in need of water, began acquiring large tracts of land, sometimes including whole communities, in the area through eminent domain, reducing the total amount of land available for development and thus driving up the value of what remained. This induced many of the area&#39;s farmers, the population from which West Somers had grown, to sell their farms for subdivision and development.</p><br>
<p>Despite these developments, sometime around 1910 the porch was added to the church building. It did not have any effect on the building&#39;s use, as services already held sporadically at that time appear to have ceased completely afterwards, except for burials of descendants of members who wished to be buried with their families. Nevertheless, a 1930 photo shows the church still in relatively good condition and the surrounding property maintained.</p><br>
<h3>1910–present: Preservation and restoration</h3><br>
<p>By 1953, however, the property had become neglected and fallen into serious disrepair. Some of the local families got together and restored it, raising money through a Grange fair. They were able to repaint the interior and exterior and replace the roof. In the process of the latter work they removed the chimney completely; a pile of bricks was found in the nearby woods during a later renovation. A neighboring couple cleaned up the landscaping and gravestones. Six years after this restoration, Thomas Miller&#39;s granddaughter Ruth was married to Ernest Pinckney, another descendant of an old West Somers family, in the church. It was the last ceremony held in the building; the last burial in the graveyard took place in 1977.</p><br>
<p>Local interest in the church did not wane. The following year an architect appraised the building and found its older elements had seriously deteriorated. A local Eagle Scout did an inventory of the graves and markers for his project. The Somers Historical Society replaced the roof again; another Eagle Scout redid the interior walls as his project. These efforts culminated in 1984 with research into the church&#39;s history and ownership. As a result, the United Methodist Church formally transferred the church to the town two years later; its remaining records and some of its other artifacts were removed to the custody of the historical society, which has had responsibility for the site ever since.</p><br>
<p>Concern for the building did not end there and then. In 1989 another local architect who evaluated the churchs condition recommended moving it off its foundation, as the existing one had seriously deteriorated, threatening the buildings structural integrity. Two years later the building was moved to its current site, 22 ft to the south of its original location. Its new foundation was made of concrete blocks faced in stone to maintain the building&#39;s historic appearance. Another Eagle Scout repainted the exterior walls again in 1995. Two years afterward, when Ruth Miller Pinckney died, her estate left a bequest for the maintenance of the family plot.</p><br>
<p>The following year, the porch columns were replaced. In 1999, a local couple who had just moved to Somers began exploring the town&#39;s historic sites. They found the West Somers church and cemetery heavily overgrown and "took pity on it." They once again cleared the overgrowth and did some work on the building, repainting the exterior walls and restoring its porch in 2006. Their research led to its listing on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.</p><br>
<p>The Union Trust Bank Company Building is a historic bank building located at 200 Collinsville Avenue in downtown East St. Louis, Illinois. Built from 1922 to 1926, the building housed the Union Trust & Savings Bank, which was founded in 1901 by August Schlafly. Architect Thomas Imbs designed the Classical Revival building. The banks opening followed a major race riot and a series of corruption scandals in East St. Louis, and its construction marked a turnaround in what had until then been a struggling city. The new building inspired confidence in the citys downtown, and several landmark buildings were built in downtown East St. Louis in the ensuing decade. The building was one of two Classical Revival banks built in East St. Louis and is the only one which is still standing.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 27, 2014.</p><br>

<p>Lemuel Boozer House, also known as the Boozer-Harmon House, is a historic home located at Lexington, Lexington County, South Carolina. It was built about 1828-30, and is a one-story clapboard dwelling on a raised basement. It has a low-pitch gable roof and a tall basement of brick piers. A rear ell and wing were added in the 1840s. It was the home of Lemuel Boozer , a lawyer who served as state representative, state senator, lieutenant governor of South Carolina, and state circuit judge. It is one of the oldest structures in the town of Lexington. According to the National Park Service&#39;s Underground Railroad Project, this plantation was part of the slavery freedom network that has been called the Underground Railroad.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.</p><br>
<p>Fox House, originally known as the Classical and Theological Seminary of the Evangelical Lutheran Synod of South Carolina and Adjacent States, is a historic home located at Lexington, Lexington County, South Carolina. It was built about 1830, and is a two-story frame dwelling with an 11-foot deep porch across the front façade. The house is attached by breezeways to two dependencies, a kitchen and a housekeepers quarters. It was built for and housed the newly founded Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary, which started in 1830. This house was originally built as a faculty dormitory and classroom space. It was later owned by John Fox; county sheriff, clerk of court, and state senator.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.</p><br>

<h2>Human Activity</h2><br>
<p>In recent years, there have been multiple researches at the Tham Lod rockshelter which have been protected by the Ambassador’s Fund for Cultural Preservation since 2001.Sattha, C. (2008). @Thailand: Preserving The Past. Bangkok Post. Retrieved from ftp://202.60.207.28/BP/2008/03_BP_Mar/01032008/BK010308012.pdf</p><br>
<p>These researches have been aimed toward analyzing the culture from the three periods humans lived in the Tham Lod rockshelter (Late Pleistocene, Early Holocene, and Late Holocene). An excavation at the Tham Lod rockshelter from 2001 to 2002 provided important knowledge of the past environment based from the analysis from collected pollen data. Pollen that is collected can be analyzed for an insight on the climate of the past, as it can survive for over 100,000 years under specific conditions. The pollen analysis suggested that humans have impacted the environment, especially the vegetation in Tham Lod, for instance using ferns for medicinal reasons. Deforestation in the area in the past may also be caused by humans.</p><br>
<h3>Human Occupation</h3><br>
<p>A study in Northwest Thailand, in particular Tham Lod funded by the Australian National University’s Graduate School and Center for Archaeological Research and the Australian Institute for Nuclear Science and Engineering, conducted by Ben Marwick dates human occupation in Tham Lod from 40,000 BP to 10,000 BP. The population was highest during the Holocene period where biomass was greater because of the wet climate. Additionally migrants from China may have contributed to the population increase.Marwick, B. and M. K. Gagan 2011.

<h3>Hunting and Tool Making</h3><br>
<p>The structure of Tham Lod indicates an ambush hunting strategy by humans that once occupied the area. Ben Marwick&#39;s study of Tham Lod found that there were a considerable amount of stone artifacts which supports that humans occupied the area at an estimated minimum number of 1722 artifacts. In fact, for the most of Tham Lod there were indications that the area was primarily an ancient tool workshop. The materials that may have been utilized to make the tools found were sandstone, quartzite, mudstone, andesite, siltstone, and slate; these tools included chopper-chopping tools, scrapers, sumatraliths, short-axes, disks, and utilized flakes. Despite the different amount of tools that were made, there were other variations in stone artifacts from different layers may have a correlation to trade activity among the humans that once lived in Tham Lod.</p><br>
<h3>Burials</h3><br>
<p>The Tham Lod rockshelter was discovered to contain multiple bodies that were buried in the past by humans. This discovery was made by a research carried out by Rasmi Shoocongdej of the Highland Archaeology Project funded by the US Ambassador Fund for Cultural Preservation in 2006. There were two of which had significant traces of possible human culture at the time. These bodies were buried in levels above one another (the undetermined skeleton was above the female skeleton). The first skeleton, with an undetermined gender was found in an extended burial 46 cm underground and the age was 12,100 +/- 60 years BP. The second skeleton, a female was found in a flexible burial; the approximated height of the skeleton was about 152 cm and dated to 13,640 +/- 80 years BP. The undetermined skeleton was found to be buried with shellfish and land snails, while the female skeleton had plants, flakes and a hammer stone.</p><br>
<h2>Paleoenvironment</h2><br>
<p>A study in 2006 conducted by Suwongpong Wattanapituksakul of Chulongcorn University at Tham Lod in the Mae Hong Son Province described the environment from 35,000 to 10,000 BP to stay the same as the same animals that thrived in that area existed until 10,000 BP.Wattanapituksakul, Suwangpong 2006. Late pleistocene mammal teeth from the Tham Lod rockshelter, Amphoe Pang Mapha, Changwat Mae Hong Son. MSc Thesis, Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok. Retrieved from http://cuir.car.chula.ac.th/handle/123456789/13643</p><br>
<p>Suwongpong analyzed data from mammal teeth found in Tham Lod to find 2003 number of identified specimens, which were then classified into 31 taxa. These animals included: Rhinocerotidae, Rhizomyidae, Rhizomys spp., Cannomys badius, Bandicota spp., and Bandicota indica. Animals such as the Rhinocerotidae required a specialized habitat, indicating that the environment was a dense forest for until 10,000 BP. The climate of the Tham Lod Rockshelter from the δ18O data collected by Ben Marwick and MIchael K. Gagan, funded by a University Postgraduate Award, the Australian Institute of Nuclear Science and Engineering and the ANU Department of Archaeology and Natural History, for the ANU Department of Archaeology and Natural History in the Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies, showed that from 35,000 to 20,000BP the climate was wet and varied, then from 20,000 to 11,500 BP, it was dry; after 11,500 BP, the climate did not show any variation and became more wet. Furthermore, the forest around the Tham Lod rockshelter from the late Pleistocene period is still the same today.</p><br>
<p>The Taylorville Chautauqua Auditorium is a Chautauqua auditorium located in Manners Park in Taylorville, Illinois. The auditorium was built in 1916 to house Chautauqua assemblies in Taylorville. Chautauqua was an adult educational movement which sent lecturers, educators, and musicians to assemblies in towns throughout the country during the early 20th century. In Taylorville, Chautauqua assemblies met eight days each year from 1914 through 1928. Lecturers and entertainers who came to the Chautauqua in Taylorville include William Howard Taft, William Jennings Bryan, Helen Keller and Anne Sullivan, Billy Sunday, Irvin S. Cobb, Alvin York, Harry Lauder, and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.</p><br>
<p>The auditorium is a sixteen-sided structure built by the Decatur Bridge Company. An octahedral cupola rests atop the main roof. The roof is mainly supported by triangular steel trusses; its only other supports are a single central post and a ring of posts along the outer edge.</p><br>
<p>The auditorium was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 21, 1988.</p><br>
<p>The Waelderhaus is a structure in Kohler, Wisconsin managed by the Kohler Foundation. It was constructed by Marie C Kohler as a memorial to her father John Michael Kohler II . It was built as a headquarters for the Kohler Women&#39;s Club, the local chapter of Girl Scouts and as a public meeting place for lectures and small performances.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The building was designed and furnished by Austrian architect Kaspar Albrecht. It was designed in the traditional style of the Bregenzerwald (Bregenz Forest) region of western Austria. The veranda, living room and work room were done in the original style. The lower level was provided with modern facilities in the kitchen. The lower level also houses a dining room along with the dressing and make-up rooms to service the auditorium on the main level.</p><br>
<p>The second floor houses a traditional Bregenzerwald style kitchen and contains articles brought from Austria by the Kohler family. The second level also contained a werk zimmer (work room), a stube (living room), a traditional style bedroom and a meeting room for the Girl scouts dedicated to Sir Robert Baden-Powell the founder of the Scout Movement.</p><br>
<p>The third floor contains a keeper&#39;s apartment with two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom. The wardrobe for theatricals is also on the third floor.</p><br>
<p>The interior contain many rich carvings, wrought-iron craftsmanship, stained glass, Austrian furniture and tapestries.</p><br>
<p>The exterior of the building contains an example of a Nodus Sundial. It is also an example of a Vertical declining sundial as it is on a vertical wall and the wall does not face due south. The dial shows the seasons as indicated by Zodiac symbols but will only show the time from sunrise to noon.</p><br>
<p>The building was officially dedicated on July 26, 1931.</p><br>
<p>The building was the venue for most of the lecturers that were part of the Kohler Distinguished Guest Series beginning in 1944. Many of the musical and performing arts events were also held there until the opening of the Kohler Memorial theater at the Kohler High School in 1957.</p><br>
<p>The building is still used for special community performances by the Kohler Foundation. The house is open daily (except holidays) to the public for free guided tours.</p><br>
<p>The Taylorville Courthouse Square Historic District is a 19.7 acre historic district located in downtown Taylorville, Illinois. The district encompasses most of Taylorvilles downtown business center; while it is primarily commercial, it also includes several important government buildings. The Christian County Courthouse, a Romanesque building constructed in 1902, forms the centerpiece of the district. While development in the district began in the late 1830s, only two buildings in the district predate 1875. The first major growth period represented in the district occurred from 1875 to 1900; the commercial buildings from this period feature Italianate, Romanesque, Beaux-Arts, and Queen Anne designs. Another period of construction followed the courthouses opening; in the ensuing decades, several Classical Revival and Prairie School buildings opened, as did the Mission Revival public library. Since 1935, the district has remained largely intact.</p><br>
<p>The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 2, 1985.</p><br>
<p>The Illinois State Bank Building is a historic bank building located at 201 N. Chestnut St. in Assumption, Illinois. The building was constructed in 1900 to replace the Illinois State Banks previous building, an 1883 structure which burned down in 1899. Local architect Ira Tobias designed the bank, which features a tower above its front entrance; such towers were a distinguishing mark of Tobias work and can be seen on two other surviving buildings in Assumption. The Illinois State Bank operated from the building until its closure in 1933; during this time, it handled 80-85% of Assumption&#39;s banking business. The building later housed the Assumption Building and Loan Association and the law offices of George J. LaCharite.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 16, 1984.</p><br>
<p>Saluda Factory Historic District is a national historic district located at West Columbia, Lexington County, South Carolina. It encompasses three contributing sites associated with the development of the area along the Saluda River; Saluda Factory, Camp Sorghum and old State Road. The Saluda Factory ruins consist of the granite foundation and sluices from a textile mill that operated on the river between 1834 and 1884. The Camp Sorghum site was the site of a Confederate prison camp. It held 1,300 Union soldiers, who were confined there from the autumn of 1864 to February 1865, and subsequently transferred to Charlotte, North Carolina. The old State Road, originally the Cherokee Path, bounded Saluda Factory and Camp Sorghum on the east.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.</p><br>
<p>Catawissa Mountain is a mountain in Columbia County, Pennsylvania, in the United States. Its peak height is 1,873 ft above sea level, making it the fifth-highest mountain in Columbia County. Streams that flow near the mountain include Roaring Creek, Catawissa Creek, and some of its tributaries. The mountain is near Nescopeck Mountain and Little Mountain. Sandstones and rock formations such as the Pocono Formation occur on Catawissa Mountain.</p><br>
<p>The community of Catawissa is near Catawissa Mountain. There have also been several roads on or near the mountain in the past. In more recent times, all terrain vehicle trails were established there, as was Pennsylvania State Game Lands Number 58. There are vernal pools on the mountain, which are used as breeding grounds for amphibians. The mountain is part of a much larger tract of forest.</p><br>
<p>Catawissa Mountain is located in southeastern Catawissa Township, southwestern Main Township, eastern Roaring Creek Township, among other places.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Catawissa Mountain&#39;s southeastern edge is at the border between Luzerne County and Columbia County. From here, it runs northwest through Beaver Township and Roaring Creek Township to the community of Catawissa. A spur of the mountain can be said to cross the Susquehanna River and turn west into Montour County, where it ceases to be a mountain.</p><br>
<p>The peak height of Catawissa Mountain is 1,873 ft above sea level. However, numerous places on the mountain rise to over 1,500 ft above sea level. The mountain is the fifth-highest mountain in Columbia County, behind Red Rock Mountain, Central Mountain, Chimneystack Rock, and Buck Mountain.</p><br>
<p>The community of Catawissa is close to Catawissa Mountain. Main Township and Locust Township are also located near the mountain.</p><br>
<h2>Geology</h2><br>
<p>Catawissa Mountain is relatively short and rounded, especially compared to nearby mountains such as Huntington Mountain, which are straight and narrow ridges. Catawissa Mountain has some rocky outcroppings.</p><br>
<p>There are two zigzagging outcroppings of the Pocono Formation on Catawissa Mountain. These outcroppings pass through the mountain and south into Schuylkill County. They also have spurs and knobs at each point where they zigzag. The Northumberland Syncline passes through a spur of the mountain. The mountain also has an elbow which is part of a double synclinal that heads eastward to Nescopeck Mountain.</p><br>
<p>A coarse and hard sandstone can be found on Catawissa Mountain. Sandstone of the Pocono Formation occurs on the summit of the mountain.</p><br>
<p>Catawissa Mountain is part of a chain of mountains running from beyond Dauphin to Carbondale. The mountain is located near both Nescopeck Mountain and Little Mountain. The meeting point of Catawissa Mountain and Nescopeck Mountain is on the edge of a canoe valley.</p><br>
<h2>Hydrology</h2><br>
<p>Several tributaries of the lower reaches of Catawissa Creek originate on Catawissa Mountain. A number of these tributaries are affected by acid deposition. Roaring Creek is also close to the western side of the mountain.</p><br>
<p>Catawissa Creek cuts a gap between Catawissa Mountain and Nescopeck Mountain at the community of Mainville. The creek also flows parallel to Catawissa Mountain downstream of this gap.</p><br>
<p>There are vernal pools on Catawissa Mountain in Beaver Township and Roaring Creek Township.</p><br>
<h2>History and etymology</h2><br>
<p>The word Catawissa comes from the Algonquin word Gatawissi, meaning "growing fat".</p><br>
<p>There was at least one Native American village in Catawissa, near Catawissa Mountain, and possibly several villages during different time periods. Historically, a road known as the Mine Gap Road climbed up Catawissa Mountain. In the past, a road led from the valley of the Schuylkill River to Catawissa via the southern part of the mountain. The Reading Road also passed from Catawissa to Philadelphia via the mountain.</p><br>
<p>J.H. Beers stated in his 1915 book Historical and Biographical Annals of Columbia and Montour Counties, Pennsylvania that the height of Catawissa Mountain was estimated to be 1,600 ft. The same author described the mountain as "majestic" and "towering" in his book.</p><br>
<p>Since at least 2001, the Columbia-Montour Amateur Radio Club has had a receiver on Catawissa Mountain.</p><br>
<h2>Biology</h2><br>
<p>Catawissa Mountain is one of several places in Columbia County that has unbroken tracts of forest. It is part of a forested corridor between the Susquehanna River and Moosic Mountain.</p><br>
<p>Amphibians use the vernal pools on Catawissa Mountain as breeding grounds, including American toads, wood frogs, and spotted salamanders.</p><br>
<p>In Pennsylvania State Game Lands Number 58, the forests on Catawissa Mountain are hardwood/heath forests. Trees in these forests include red maple, chestnut oak, scarlet oak, mountain laurel, black huckleberry, and lowbush blueberry. Numerous plant species inhabit the mountain&#39;s vernal pools. These include cranberry, cinnamon fern, royal fern, tussock sedge, pitch pine, and numerous others.</p><br>
<h2>Recreation</h2><br>
<p>The Pennsylvania State Game Lands Number 58 are located on Catawissa Mountain. Use of all terrain vehicles on the mountain is increasing, as of 2004. The Columbia County Natural Heritage Inventory of 2004 suggested blocking all terrain vehicle trails near the mountain&#39;s vernal pools.</p><br>
<p>Elm Street Court is a bungalow court located on Elm Street in Urbana, Champaign County, Illinois.</p><br>
<p>The court, built in 1926, consists of eight Spanish Colonial Revival style bungalows arranged around a central courtyard. While the houses have similar styles and floor plans, they also all have key differences, such as the shape of their parapet walls and the color and style of their stucco exteriors.</p><br>
<p>A 10 ft tall concrete gate with Craftsman details marks the entrance to the courtyard, and a concrete birdbath sits in the center of the garden courtyard.</p><br>
<p>The bungalow court was a popular housing style in California and Florida during the 1920s, but the Elm Street Court is one of the few examples of the style in the Midwest.</p><br>
<p>The court was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 15, 2000.</p><br>
<p>The Clark R. Griggs House is a historic house located at 505 W. Main St. in Urbana, Illinois. The house was built in 1871 by Clark Robinson Griggs; Griggs was a railroad developer who served as Urbanas mayor and was a key figure in establishing the University of Illinois at Urbana&ndash;Champaign in the city. Griggs never lived in the house he built, and his son occupied the house after Griggs moved east. The Italianate house is one of the few examples of the style in Urbana. The houses cornice is decorated with paired brackets, as is a projecting bay on the east side. The front porch has a balustrade and is supported by bracketed columns.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 30, 1978.</p><br>
<p>This page is about the island in South Australia. For the island in Antarctic, see Owen Island.</p><br>
<p>Owen Island, formerly known as Rabbit Island and also known as Little Taylor Island, is an island located in Spencer Gulf off the east coast of Jussieu Peninsula on Eyre Peninsula in South Australia approximately 18.7 km south-east of Port Lincoln. Since 1972, the island has been part of the Lincoln National Park.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Owen Island which is located approximately 18.7 km south-east of Port Lincoln and is located 460 m north of Taylor Island, has a maximum height of 12 m. Sandy beaches exist on the island’s west side with a submerged sand spit near the island’s south-western point. Sand dominates the island with wind-blown dunes extending beyond the limits of tide and storm surges which was reported in 1996 as ‘providing a bed for a high diversity of plants’. It is reported that the island is sheltered from the impact of sea due to the closeness of the much larger Taylor Island plus the additional shelter offered by the mainland and other islands to the south. As of 1996, it is reported as being accessible by boat.</p><br>
<h2>Formation, geology and oceanography</h2><br>
<p>Owen Island was formed about 6000 years ago when sea levels rose at the start of the Holocene. The island is a granite outcrop capped with a residual layer of calcarenite.</p><br>
<h2>Flora and fauna</h2><br>
<p>As of 1996, the flora is reported as consisting of two distinct areas. The coastal sand supports plants such as grey saltbush, sea spurge and two-horned sea rocket. The rest of the island supports a shrubland dominated by nitre bush and saltbush. Other species observed in the shrubland included Australian hollyhock, black-anther flax lily, bower spinach, coastal lignum, karkalla, native juniper and variable groundsel. As of 1996, the fauna was reported as consisting of the following vertebrates: five species of birds including Pacific gulls, rock parrots and a breeding colony of white-faced storm petrels, and one species of reptile, the southern grass skink.</p><br>
<h2>Naming</h2><br>
<p>The island was formerly known as Rabbit Island, however it was renamed around about 1960 in order to reportedly avoid confusion with the Rabbit Island located in Louth Bay. The new name acknowledged the Owen family who was leasing Taylor Island at the time of the name change.</p><br>
<h2>Protected areas status</h2><br>
<p>Owen Island first acquired protected area status as a Fauna Reserve proclaimed under the Fauna Conservation Act 1964 on 23 May 1968. Since 1972, it has been part of the Lincoln National Park.</p><br>
<p>The Warm Air Research House is a historic house and research facility located at 1108 W. Stoughton St. in Urbana, Illinois. Built in 1924, the house served as a warm-air heating research facility administered jointly by the National Warm-Air Heating and Ventilating Association and the University of Illinois Department of Mechanical Engineering. Prior to the 1920s, the American heating industry had few formal testing procedures for their products, and home heating through warm-air ventilation ducts was still considered a novel concept. The National Warm-Air Heating and Ventilating Association began to test heating methods and systems in the Department of Mechanical Engineering&#39;s laboratories, but it eventually needed a model house in which to test its domestic heating systems. The two organizations commissioned the large Colonial Revival residence, which was designed by architect Loring Harvey Provine and graduate student Clarence Andrew Kissinger. Beginning in 1932, research on air conditioning and cooling systems was also conducted in the house. Following World War II, the facility became less useful due to the shrinking size of new American homes, and the university sold the house in 1946. Some of the technologies developed in the house include storm windows, forced-air heating, and heating duct size and positioning.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 12, 2001.</p><br>
<p>Stevns Klint is a white chalk cliff located some 6 km southeast of Store Heddinge on the Danish island of Zealand. Stretching 17 km along the coast, it is of geological importance as one of the best exposed Cretaceous-Tertiary  boundaries in the world. Subject to frequent erosion, the cliff rises to a height of up to 40 m.</p><br>
<h2>Geology</h2><br>
<p>The cliff reveals sections from the uppermost part of the Maastrichtian stage (72 to 66 million years ago) and from the lowermost part of the Danian stage (66 to 62 million years ago). A black layer of fish clay, a few centimeters thick, containing iridium clearly marks the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary. The layers can also be seen deep in the tunnels of Stevnsfortet, a cold-war fortress constructed in 1953. The bryozoa chalk in the cliff is highly shock resistant to both conventional and nuclear weapons.</p><br>
<h2>Cold War museum</h2><br>
<p>In 2008 Cold War Museum Stevns Fortress opened to the public. It features a large exhibition of military equipment and a 1.5-hour guided tour in the large underground system of the fortress. The underground system of the fortress features 1.6 km of tunnels, living quarters and command centers, including a hospital and even a chapel. There are also two ammunition depots for its two 15 cm cannons. The tunnels are 18 – below the surface, dug deep into the chalk of Stevns. The top secret fortress was built in 1953 and remained operational until 2000.</p><br>
<h2>Højerup Church</h2><br>
<p>The old Højerup Church (Højerup Gamle Kirke) which stands at the top of the cliff dates from the year 1200. As a result of erosion, a landslide in 1928 caused the chancel to collapse and fall to the shore below. The cliff can be accessed via steps from the church. A new church completed in 1913 is located 300 m back from the cliff.</p><br>
<h2>UNESCO listing</h2><br>
<p>On 23 June 2014, it was announced that Stevns Klint and the Wadden Sea had been added to the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites in Denmark.</p><br>
<p>La Monne is a small torrential river that originates in the Puy-de-Dôme, near the col de la Croix-Morand, above the village of Mareuge, at 1,300 m above sea level. It joins the Veyre at 380 m. According to the SANDRE database, it is a direct affluent of the Allier and the Veyre is a tributary of the Monne.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The river is 34.5 km long. La Monne is part of a hydrographical whole, draining les monts Dore. The system is made up of rivers flowing eastward into the river Allier in the plains of the Limagne. To the south lies le pays des Couzes with, from south: la Couze dArdes, la Couze Pavin and la Couze Chambon; beyond flows la Monne and the Veyre. Continuing north one finds other rivers feeding from la chaîne des Domes: lAuzon, l&#39;Artière and la Tiretaine which flows through Royat and Clermont-Ferrand.</p><br>
<p>All rivers descending more than 1,000 m down to about 350 m etch the granitic ridge of la faille des Limagnes +/- deeply from west to east. The most wild and spectacular gorges are those of la Monne located between Olloix and Cournols.</p><br>
<p>The Lester Armour House is a historic mansion in Lake Bluff, Illinois, United States. It was designed by David Adler in 1931 and is considered one of his most pure works as well as one of his largest.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Lester Armour was the son of Philip Danforth Armour, Jr., thus the son of meatpacking magnate Philip Danforth Armour, Sr. Lester Armour was born in 1895 and attended Yale University before joining Armour and Company, the family business. He married Leola Stanton in 1918; they had five children. In the early 1920s, he left the company to go into banking. He became president of the Chicago National Bank and was chairman of the board of Harris Bank. Armour later married Alexandra Galitzine, a Russian princess who was previously married to Prince Rostislav Alexandrovich of Russia.</p><br>
<p>Architect David Adler was a friend of Leola Armour. She probably recommended that Lester commission Adler to design the house. Adler designed the house in 1931 and the Armours approved the plans with no requested changes. As a result, the house is almost exactly as Adler intended it, making it one of his purest houses. The style of the house was probably inspired from Adler&#39;s recent trip with Evelyn Marshall Field along the James and Potomac Rivers. The resulting Armour house exhibits influence from the Colonial and Federal styles, consistent with early Virginia architecture. The Armour house was one of the few that Adler designed in cooperation with his sister, interior designer Frances Adler Elkins.</p><br>
<p>Lester Armour continued to live in the house following the divorce from Leola; in 1949 Alexandra Galitzine moved in. Lester Armour died in 1970. Alexandra continued to live in the house until 1977. That year, she rented the house out to Lion&#39;s Gate Films, Inc. to film the Robert Altman movie A Wedding, starring Desi Arnaz, Jr., Carol Burnett, and Mia Farrow. After filming, the estate, originally 73 acre, was subdivided into fifteen lots of approximately 5 acre. On May 3, 1984, the house was recognized by the National Park Service with a listing on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>Singer Richard Marx bought the house in 1997 for $4.7 million, and listed it for sale in 2014 for $18 million.</p><br>
<p>The Richmond-Tufts House is a historic house in rural Ouachita County, Arkansas, outside the county seat of Camden. This single-story wood frame house was built in 1859, and was originally located on West Washington Street in Camden, before being moved to its present location c. 1961. When first built, the house had Greek Revival styling, but it was extensively renovated and extended after its purchase in 1883 by Alfred Tufts, a Northern carpetbagger who moved to Camden after the American Civil War, married a local woman, and acquired a great deal of land. He made numerous Late Victorian additions to the house, most of which were undone when the house was moved, restoring its original Greek Revival character. The house is five bays wide, with a side gable roof, and a four-column porch that extends across a portion of the front.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.</p><br>
<p>Magalumbi  is an island in northeastern Iloilo, Philippines. It is part of the municipality of Batad, although the official provincial government website lists it as an offshore island of Estancia. Magalumbi is part of barangay Tanao, which has a population of 1,903 according to the 2010 census.</p><br>
<p>Magalumbi is known for its batang langoy (English: "swimming kids"), the children who have to swim to or from the mainland in order to attend school.</p><br>
<h2>Location and geography</h2><br>
<p>Magalumbi Island is east of Panay Island in the Visayan Sea. Magalumbi is 2 mi north of Colebra Island, which is part of nearby Concepcion.</p><br>
<h2>Batang langoy</h2><br>
<p>On 7 July, 2008, GMA Network aired an episode of I-Witness titled Batang Langoy. The episode focused on the children who lived on island barangays who had to swim either two or from their homes to the mainland in order to attend school. Batang Langoy featured 10-year-old Queenche and 13-year-old Raul, children from Magalumbi who had to swim home every night. According to the report, the childrens parents transported them by boat to school in the mornings, but in the afternoons the children had to swim the 2 km distance. As they couldnt take their books with them, the children had to bury their books on the beach every afternoon and retrieve them the next morning.</p><br>
<h2>Natural disasters</h2><br>
<h3>Typhoon Haiyan</h3><br>
<p>On 8 November, 2013, Typhoon Haiyan (locally known as Yolanda) caused heavy damage to the fishing industry on Magalumbi. Relief workers organized to distribute supplies once the storm passed. The University of San Agustin&#39;s College of Pharmacy & Medical Technology (CPMT) planned to distribute four boats to local fishermen.</p><br>
<p>The Dolore is a French river in the Auvergne region. It originates in the monts du Livradois and joins la Dore, left bank; hence it is a sub-affluent of la Loire. It is 37.1 km long.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>La Dolore originates at Fournols, in the Livradois range.</p><br>
<p>It flows southward until Saint-Bonnet-le-Chastel. It then turns east, before joining la Dore, left bank, downstream of Arlanc.</p><br>
<p>The entire river valley is part of the Livradois-Forez Regional Natural Park.</p><br>
<h2>Communes</h2><br>
<p>Heading downstream, the river fares through :</p><br>
<p>Fournols, Chambon-sur-Dolore, Saint-Bonnet-le-Chastel, Novacelles, Saint-Sauveur-la-Sagne, Mayres, Arlanc.</p><br>
<h2>Affluents</h2><br>
<p>Ruisseau des Moches</p><br>
<p>Ruisseau du Forestier</p><br>
<p>Ruisseau de la Farge (sometimes charted la Palle)</p><br>
<p>Ruisseau de la Queue</p><br>
<p>Ruisseau des Palles</p><br>
<p>Ruisseau des Mons</p><br>
<p>Ruisseau de la Combe</p><br>
<p>Ruisseau de Beligeon</p><br>
<h2>Hydrology</h2><br>
<p>Levels were recorded from 1965 to 2008 at Mayres, with a discharge of 1.18 m3/s, 10 km from its confluence with la Dore.</p><br>
<p>The river has well-marked seasonal debital variations. High waters are in winter and spring especially, with average monthly scores of 1.53 to 1.71 m3/s, from December to May (peak in April). The rate drops considerably in June to 0.992 m3/s, and the rate remains low through September, when it declines to 0.538 m3/s. These monthly scores can also however vary yearly or over short periods.</p><br>
<p>Àt low water, the rate can drop to 0.033 m3/s, equivalent to 33 l/s, after a five-year dry period.</p><br>
<p>Given the narrowness of the basin, floods can be quite important, which can reach maximal debits of 14, 21, 26, 31 and 36 m3/s for periods of 2, 5, 10, 20 or 50 years respectively. The MID recorded at Mayres on August 1, 1980, was of 52.5 m3/s and rose to a daily total of 22.8 m3/s on March 18, 1988.</p><br>
<p>The basin has a yearly precipitation of 531 mm, which is above the national average of 320 mm and even higher compared to the Loire at about 245 mm. The average debit hence reached 16.8 L/s/km².</p><br>
<h2>Ecology</h2><br>

<p>Though it suffers little from industrial, domestic or agricultural pollution, the resinous reforestation of its banks has led to acidification of its waters and spawn clogging.</p><br>
<p>Nabunot  is an island in northeastern Iloilo, Philippines. It is one of fourteen islands politically administered by the municipality of Carles.</p><br>
<h2>Location and geography</h2><br>
<p>Nabunot is an oval-shaped island northeast of the Panay Island coast in the Visayan Sea. It is 2 mi southeast of Manigonigo Island. A shoal connects Nabunot with Tulunanaun Island, 2 mi to the southeast.</p><br>
<h2>Natural disasters</h2><br>
<h3>Typhoon Haiyan</h3><br>
<p>Typhoon Haiyan (locally known as "Yolanda") passed over Nabunot, along with the rest of Panay, on November 8, 2013, causing heavy damage. Once the storm passed, the naval ship HMS Daring came through and assessed damage. On 16 November 2013, they observed that while many large building on the island had weathered the storm, several small structures had collapsed. The typhoon had also destroyed boats and trees. A shore party from the HMS Daring returned to Nabunot on 21 November 2013, where they repaired 5 fishing boats, built temporary shelters, and cleaned out a room on the island school. The shore party also reported that potable water was being shipped in from Panay and two people had been advised to seek medical treatment for respiratory tract infections.</p><br>
<p>The Rumph House is a historic house at 717 Washington Street in Camden, Arkansas. In 1874 a single-story Victorian house was built, in which Dr. Junius Bragg, a Confederate Army surgeon, lived for many years. This house was extensively remodeled in 1925, during Arkansas&#39; oil boom, adding a second floor, and restyling the building in the then-popular Craftsman style. This renovation was undertaken by Garland S. Rumph, who was prominent in local politics. Its Craftsman features include wide eaves, stuccoed gable ends, and exposed false rafter beams.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.</p><br>
<p>The home was purchased in 2008 by Thomas Holt who has continued to contribute to the history of the home. Improvements have been made to the original structure in 2014 by closing in the back porch adding a sunroom and the addition of a deck in the back of the home.</p><br>
<p>The Hermitage Road Warehouse Historic District encompasses an industrial district in northern Richmond, Virginia. It is bounded on the west by Hermitage Street, on the east by Interstate 95, on the north by Sherwood Avenue, and on the south by Overbrook Road. This area, which contains mainly warehouses, was developed between 1918 and the 1950s, with most development taking place in the last decade of that period. The warehouses are generally single-story brick structures, although detailing appears in a variety of architectural styles. There are several multi-story buildings, notably a six-story office block attached to the warehouse of the A. H. Robins building. The land was originally owned by A. D. Williams, who began selling it off for development in 1918. Eastward development of the area was halted by the construction of I-95, and only one building was built after 1960.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.</p><br>
<p>The Wapizagonke Lake is one of the bodies of water located the sector "Lac-Wapizagonke", in the city of Shawinigan, in the La Mauricie National Park, in the region of Mauricie, in Quebec, in Canada.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>With a length of 9.2 kilometers, the Wapizagonke lake is located near the west boundary of La Mauricie National Park in northern Shawinigan. Surrounded by mountains, this lake is a narrow shape and length is in the north-south axis. Its mouth pours through its southern end in the Shawinigan River, which flows eastward and then south to empty into the Saint-Maurice River.</p><br>
<p>Major lakes feeding the Wapizagonke Lake watershed are: Reid, Houle, Jodon, Anticagamac and Avalon.</p><br>
<h2>Toponymy</h2><br>
<p>The lake appears on the cards in 1852 under the name "Lake Pisagunk". Forestry workers identified him rather as the "lake Mistagance". Wapizagonke appear on the map in 1925 and is a variation of Ouapitagone in Montagnais, which meant according to Father Joseph-Étienne Guinard (1864-1965): "kind of very rare duck species". In Abenaki, the lake is named Wawibizagak and means "surrounded by the bush". Certain visitors named the lake under two names: "Island Lake" and "Lake Croche".</p><br>
<p>The Kenilworth Plantation House is a historic plantation house located at 2931 Bayou Road in St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana. The French Creole style house was built circa 1820. During the early 19th century, the French Creole style was the predominant architectural form of St. Bernard Parish; however, most of the parish&#39;s French Creole buildings from the period are no longer standing, and Kenilworth is one of the best-preserved examples of the style.</p><br>
<p>The two-story house has a raised basement, and the upper story is considered the primary living space. A gallery supported by turned collonnettes surrounds both stories of the house; all entrances from the gallery feature French doors. The house&#39;s hipped roof has an intricate truss support system and exposed, shaped rafter tails typical of Creole designs.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 24, 2006.</p><br>

<p>Shockoe Valley is an area in Richmond, Virginia, just east of downtown, along the James River, and is the entertainment center of the city. Located between Shockoe Hill and Church Hill, Shockoe Valley contains much of the land included in Colonel William Mayos 1737 plan of Richmond, making it one of the citys oldest neighborhoods. Shockoe Valley encompasses the smaller neighborhoods of Shockoe Slip, Shockoe Bottom and Tobacco Row along Cary Street and is home to over 10,000 young professionals.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Shockoe Valley began developing in the late 18th century following the move of the state capital to Richmond, aided by the construction of Mayo&#39;s bridge across the James River (ultimately succeeded by the modern 14th Street Bridge), as well as the siting of key tobacco industry structures, such as the public warehouse, tobacco scales, and the Federal Customs House in or near the district.</p><br>
<p>On the eve of the fall of Richmond to the Union Army in April 1865, evacuating Confederate forces were ordered to set fire to the city&#39;s tobacco warehouses. The fires spread, and completely destroyed Shockoe Slip and several other districts. The district was quickly rebuilt in the late 1860s, flourishing further in the 1870s, and forming much of its present historic building stock.</p><br>
<p>Throughout the 19th Century, Shockoe Valley was the center of Richmond’s commerce with ships pulling into port from the James River. Goods coming off these ships were warehoused and traded in Shockoe Valley.</p><br>
<p>Up until the end of the American Civil War in 1865, the area played a major role in the history of slavery in the United States, serving as the second largest slave trading center in the country, second to New Orleans. Profits from the trade in human beings fueled the creation of wealth for Southern whites and drove the economy in Richmond, leading 15th Street to be known as Wall Street in the antebellum period, with the surrounding blocks home to more than 69 slave dealers and auction houses. In 2006, archaeological excavations were begun on the former site of Lumpkin&#39;s Jail.</p><br>
<p>On the eve of the fall of Richmond to the Union Army in April 1865, evacuating Confederate forces were ordered to set fire to the citys tobacco warehouses. The fires spread, and completely destroyed Shockoe Slip and several other districts. The district was quickly rebuilt in the late 1860s, flourishing further in the 1870s, and forming much of its present historic building stock. It warehoused many of the citys goods, mostly tobacco. The district began declining in the 1920s, as other areas of the city rose in prominence with the advent of the automobile. Numerous structures would be demolished and cleared, including (in the 1950s), the Tobacco Exchange, which had been at the heart of the district. Up until they moved from Tobacco Row in the 1980s, the area was home to many of the country&#39;s largest tobacco companies.</p><br>
<h2>Redevelopment</h2><br>
<p>Beginning in the 1960s and accelerating in the 1970s, Shockoe was redeveloped as a commercial and entertainment district; the nightlife district came just after Richmond passed liquor-by-the-drink laws, and when the so-called fern bar became popular across the United States. The restoration came at the time of an increased interest in historic preservation around the time of the Bicentennial, with the district being added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. Early pioneer restaurants included The Tobacco Company, Stuffys Going Bananas, Commercial Cafe and Sam Millers, the last two being revived restaurant names from Richmond&#39;s 19th century.</p><br>
<p>It became a major entertainment district in the last two decades of the 20th century. After centuries of periodic flooding by the James River, development was greatly stimulated by the completion of Richmond&#39;s James River Flood Wall and the Canal Walk in 1995. Ironically, the next flooding disaster came not from the river, but from Hurricane Gaston which brought extensive local tributary flooding along the basin of Shockoe Creek and did extensive damage to the area in 2004, with businesses being shut down and many buildings condemned.</p><br>
<p>Shockoe also included some of the earliest rehabilitated downtown apartments; at the time of the restoration asphalt paving was removed to expose historic Belgian block streets.</p><br>
<p>A major boom in residential growth was created in the mid-1990s when old warehouses in Tobacco Row were converted into warehouses. Since then, more vacant buildings have been replaced with residential dwellings and new ones have been built. Furthermore, more quality restaurants have moved into the area. Unfortunately, the area lacks retail and tourism. That is expected to change with the Revitalize RVA plan which could attract new development of apartments, a grocery store, and a hotel, all surrounding a stadium. Other projects include the revamping of the 17th Street Farmers Market into an Open-air pedestrian mall with al fresco dining for the restaurants, the Main Street Stations Train Shed into an urban market with a bike storage facility and bus Rapid Transit station, and Lumpkins Jail into the Slavery and Freedom Heritage Center. The future of Shockoe is said to be Richmonds center for entertainment and tourism.</p><br>
<p>Calagnaan  is an island in northeastern Iloilo, Philippines. It is one of fourteen islands politically administered by the municipality of Carles. The population is 890 in 208 households.</p><br>
<h2>Location and geography</h2><br>
<p>Calagnaan is a wooded island northeast of the Panay Island coast in the Visayan Sea. It is southeast of Binuluangan Island and separated from that island by the Nilidlaran Pass.The west coast of the island is surrounded by reefs. Calagnaan is part of barangays Manlot, Tinigban, Bito-on (Proper, Bung-Indong Dako and Bung Indong Gamay), Talingting and Barangoalan (variously spelled Barangkalan). The island is home to Brachymeles talinis.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The name Calagnaan comes from dagna or lagna, which is the Visayan word for water springs several of which can be found on the island. There are mining operations on the island, administered by the Calagnaan Agro-Industry Corporation.</p><br>
<h3>Typhoon Haiyan</h3><br>
<p>Typhoon Haiyan (locally known as Yolanda) passed over Calagnaan, along with the rest of Panay, on November 8, 2013. British ships HMS Illustrious and HMS Daring both stopped on Calagnaan as part of their broader Philippine relief effort. When the HMS Daring landed in the area on 23 November, they discovered that one remote village of Calagnaan had not yet been reached and villagers had not eaten for several days. HMS Illustrious&#39; initial assessment on November 25 was that 177 houses, 60-70 boats, and the island school had been damaged. The Illustrious crew began its aid mission with a helicopter-drop of a 10.5 to food pack and followed up with enough tarpaulin to repair 250 homes. Other organizations involved in the relief efforts on Calagnaan included Save the Children and UNICEF.</p><br>
<p>Buckeye Station was built in 1797 by General Nathaniel Massie, a surveyor and early Ohio settler, who lived there for a brief time. It is located just east of Manchester, Ohio, in the uplands overlooking the Ohio River. Massie founded several towns in Ohio, including nearby Manchester, Ohio as well as the state&#39;s first capital Chillicothe. Massie leased the property to John Moore for a time, and then sold it to his brother-in-law Charles Willing Byrd.</p><br>
<p>The original house on the property was a log cabin called Buckeye Station because it was constructed of buckeye timber. It was built near Massie Station, a stockaded village established by Massie that later became Manchester. The log cabin was replaced by the current one-and-half story L-shaped house in 1797.</p><br>
<p>Today Buckeye Station is a crumbling ruin. It stands in the shadow of a cell phone tower, in a patch of woods, near a large agricultural field. A historical marker is located to the south on highway 52.</p><br>
<p>Clarksville Iron Furnace was a charcoal iron furnace in Unicoi County, Tennessee, built in 1833 and operated until 1844. Its ruins are in Cherokee National Forest and are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>Clarksville Iron Furnace was built in 1833 by Edward West & Co., a business venture formed by Edward West, Elijah Embree, and Montgomery Stuart. Elijah Embree owned an iron ore deposit in Bumpass Cove and ironworks in Embreeville. The furnace installation included a furnace stack and a bellows that was powered by a waterwheel. A road was built to carry ore from Bumpass Cove, about 2.5 mi away on the other side of a mountain ridge.</p><br>
<p>The furnace began operation in 1833 or 1834. Initially it was fairly successful, producing iron for use in making nails and wrought iron in Embree&#39;s iron works in Embreeville, as well as castings that were sold locally and material that was shipped out of the area on river flatboats. Within a few years, differences arose between the business partners. In 1837, West sold his share of the business to the other two partners, and in 1841 West and Stuart filed a lawsuit against Embree. Production ended abruptly in 1844 when the millrace that channeled water to the waterwheel failed, causing water to spill onto the furnace site. The resulting flood extinguished the fire in the furnace and chilled the material that was being smelted at the time. In order to restart the furnace, it would have been necessary to dismantle the stack and rebuild it; the owners chose to abandon the operation instead of rebuilding.</p><br>
<p>The ruins of the furnace are easiest to find and observe during the winter, after the surrounding trees and shrubs have lost their leaves.</p><br>
<p>Binuluangan  is an inhabited island-barangay in northeastern Iloilo, Philippines. It is one of fourteen islands politically administered by the municipality of Carles. In 2010 it had a population of 1,682. There is an elementary school on the island.</p><br>
<h2>Location and geography</h2><br>
<p>Binuluangan is a wooded island northeast of the Panay Island coast in the Visayan Sea. It is 2 km west of Calagnaan Island and separated from that island by the Nilidlaran Pass. Binuluangan is surrounded by several small islands and islets, including Tabugon and Tabugon Chico to the north, Himamylan and Adcalayo to the south, and Nilidlaran (variously Linadlaran) to the southeast.</p><br>
<h2>Natural disasters</h2><br>
<h3>Typhoon Haiyan</h3><br>
<p>Binuluangan was one of several islands to receive aid from the HMS Daring in the aftermath of Typhoon Haiyan.</p><br>
<p>The Downtown Chevron Station was a historic service station in Huntsville, Alabama. Built in 1919, it was one of the first buildings in the city tailored to the automobile. The center section of the station was built of brick in a style similar to other commercial and residential buildings in the area. The windows were large panes topped with three vertical panes , and the main entrance had a similar transom. The hipped roof extended from the building towards the corner of Clinton Avenue and Greene Street, providing cover for the pumps. Flat-roofed service bays with multi-pane sash windows were added along the Clinton Avenue side in 1929 and 1938. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. It has been demolished since its listing, and a modern office building is on the site.</p><br>
<p>The White–Turner–Sanford House is a historic residence in Huntsville, Alabama. It was built in 1827 by James White, a merchant from Virginia, on land purchased from LeRoy Pope. The home has had numerous owners through the years including John H. Lewis, mayor from 1826 to 1828, and state representative George W. Lane. Originally a one-story Federal-style house, a two-story Greek Revival addition was built in 1858. The original part of the house consists of a center-hall main block with an ell. It is built of brick laid in common bond, with a gable roof. A portico supported by four thin columns covers the main entrance, which sports a four-panel transom. Windows on the main block are the original rectangular sashes, except the windows on the façade which were modified with segmental arched tops to match the addition. The original portion contains a hall flanked by a parlor and reception room, with two bedrooms behind the parlor. A porch, kitchen, and bath filling in the ell were added after the Civil War. The addition has a study and dining room on the ground floor and two bedrooms above. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. It has been converted into a financial planning office.</p><br>
<p>Calhoun-Gibert House is a historic home located at Willington in McCormick County, South Carolina. It was built about 1856 and was originally a one-story Greek Revival style dwelling.</p><br>
