São Roque do Pico

For the civil parish, see São Roque do Pico (parish).

São Roque do Pico (Portuguese pronunciation: [sɐ̃w ˈʁɔkɨ ðu ˈpiku] (listen)) is a municipality in the Portuguese archipelago of the Azores, occupying most of the northern side of the island of Pico. As of 2021, it has 3,221 inhabitantsfreguesias (civil parishes) in an area of 142.36 km².

The municipality is bordered by the Atlantic to the north, Lajes do Pico to the south and east, and Madalena to the west.

History

While the first incursions into the island occurred in the 15th century, the region that would become known as São Roque occurred later.Graciosa, who would much later be supplemented by Flemings from Faial, under the orders of Josse van Huerter.Lajes do Pico, and many of its religious and cultural ceremonies were centred in this municipal centre from the Convent of São Francisco.

This influence of Faial would continue for much of the island's history, becoming integrated into the Captaincy (colonial administration) of its neighbour.

The municipality was created in 1542, when its citizenry petitioned King John of Portugal to provide them administrative autonomy from Lajes."...until the World lasted", which has been transmitted across their descendants.

The little hermitage of São Roque, and chapel of Bom Jesus, was insufficient to handle its growing populous, and it was decided in 1714 to construct the Church of São Roque, which was completed twelve years.

At the time the population was dedicated primarily to a subsistence lifestyle, with some small cultivation of grapes for the production of wine, and an active fishery. The volcanic eruptions that occurred during the 18th century turned much of the soil fertile, that resulted in the mass production of Verdelho wine, which was a popular export to America and Europe.


São Roque do Pico

By the 19th century, disease infected the vineyards of the north, devastating the wine-making culture, which slowly progressed throughout the island, until the introduction of new castes. But, meanwhile, the Sãoroquenses turned to other economic sources of growth, but specifically, concentrating on the whaling in order to supplement the fishery. This culture was an important part of the municipality, resulting in the establishment of five separate factories along the coast in order support the transformation of whales into oils, perfumes and fertilizers. Even by the 20th century, the municipal seat became the home for the Fabrica das Armações Baleeiras Reunidas create in 1942, which was a union between the older companies Companhia Velha Baleeira, Lda., Armação Baleeira do Livramento, Lda. and the Armação Baleeira Atlântica, Lda. and continued to function until the 1980s. After this, the building was transformed in the post-whaling period into a museum to exhibit the artifacts for this era, including machines, implements and maquetes demonstrating the whale hunt, the peoples involved in the activity and the hardships of the local economy associated with whaling.

Geography

The climate of the municipality is mild and humid, with median temperatures oscillating between 14 °C (57 °F) and 22 °C (72 °F), with a regular level of precipitation throughout the year. The municipal seat of São Roque is the primary urban agglomeration along the northern coast, organized around two principal poles: in the west, the historic village of São Roque and Cais do Pico in the east, which grew from the activities associated with the sea, whaling and fishing after the middle of the 19th century. These two areas form the nucleus of the civil parish of São Roque, but the municipality of São Roque do Pico extends over one third of the island of Pico, along the northern coast, encompassing five civil parishes, that consist of:


São Roque do Pico

* Prainha - The second settlement founded on the northern coast of the island; the settlement was for centuries the center of production of the verdelho wine. It is located relatively close to a lava field resulting from a volcanic eruption in 1572, and overlooked by a small bucolic lagoon, Lagoa do Caiado.
  * Santa Luzia - Includes the seaside villages of Lajido and Cabrito, but extends to many typical buildings constructed from basaltic volcanic rock, including the Lajido do Meio and the area around Ribeira Nova.
  * Santo Amaro - A parish recognized for its contribution to manual shipbuilding on the island, it settlements extend along the coast from the main village to heights of Terra Alta.
  * Santo António - Named after the Portuguese-born saint, the parish includes the small villages of Santana and Sao Vicente.
  * São Roque - A relatively old town and commercial port (Cais do Pico) connected with the whaling industry and the site of the only whaling-processing factory in the municipality.

Climate

Due to its location at the northern foothills of Mount Pico and the Achada Plateau, São Roque has a unique micro-climate, receiving more precipitation than any other municipality in Portugal. Averaging between 1,100 and 2,000 mm (43 and 79 in) at the coast and surpassing 4,000 mm (160 in) in the mountains. Twice as much as in the neighboring municipality of Madalena or in the remaining islands of the archipelago.

According to the Köppen climate classification, the coastal areas of São Roque have a humid subtropical climate, but with significant Mediterranean influences. Winters are very mild and wet and summers are warm and drier. Humidity is around 80% year-round.

The Boar's Head Inn is the name of several former and current taverns in London, most famously a tavern in Eastcheap that is supposedly the meeting place of Sir John Falstaff, Prince Hal and other characters in Shakespeare's Henry IV plays. An earlier tavern in Southwark used the same name, and an inn of the name in Whitechapel was used as a theatre.

A number of other taverns and inns have since used the name, typically with reference to Shakespeare.

In London

Eastcheap

Main article: Boar's Head Inn, Eastcheap

The Boar's Head Tavern on Eastcheap is featured in historical plays by Shakespeare, particularly Henry IV, Part 1, as a favourite resort of the fictional character Falstaff and his friends in the early 15th century. The landlady is Mistress Quickly. It was the subject of essays by Oliver Goldsmith and Washington Irving. Though there is no evidence of a Boar's Head inn existing at the time the play is set, Shakespeare was referring to a real inn that existed in his own day. Established before 1537, but destroyed in 1666 in the Great Fire of London, it was soon rebuilt and continued operation until some point in the late 18th century, when the building was used by retail outlets. What remained of the building was demolished in 1831.Shakespeare's Globe theatre.


Boar's Head Inn

The site of the original inn is now part of the approach to London Bridge in Cannon Street. Near the site on modern Eastcheap, architect Robert Lewis Roumieu created a neo-Gothic building in 1868; this makes references to the Boar's Head Inn in its design and exterior decorations, which include a boar's head peeping out from grass, and portrait heads of Henry IV and Henry V. Roumieu's building originally functioned as a vinegar warehouse, though it has since been converted into offices.Nicholas Pevsner described it as "one of the maddest displays in London of gabled Gothic brick." Ian Nairn called it "the scream you wake on at the end of a nightmare."

Others

There was another Boar's Head Inn, at Whitechapel, the courtyard of which was used from 1557 onwards as an inn-yard theatre to stage plays, known as the Boar's Head Theatre. It was refurbished in 1598–1599.

There was yet another Boar's Head Inn, at Southwark, owned by Sir John Fastolf, who is the source for the character-name of Falstaff.

Other Boar's Head establishments

The Boar's Head Inn in Bishop's Stortford, Hertfordshire, England, is a historic building dating to the 16th or 17th century.

The Boar's Head Resort of Charlottesville, Virginia, US, a hotel and resort owned by the University of Virginia, is also known as the "Boar's Head Inn".

There is a Boar's Head Pub in Stratford, Ontario, Canada, where an annual Shakespeare Festival is held.

Cross Island, Mumbai

Cross Island, Mumbai

Cross Island, locally known as Chinal Tekdi, meaning hill of prostitutes, is an uninhabited or sparsely inhabited island located in Mumbai harbour, India, between the coast at Dockyard Road, and Elephanta Island, about 400 m from Ferry Wharf on the east coast of Mumbai. The island is host to an oil refinery and several large gas holders, and features the ruins of a fort.

There is little written about how the island got its name. One reason could be the Portuguese missionaries, who may have named it after the Christian symbol. Or, just the fact that ships had to cross it to enter the dock area, which lies to its right.

The fort occupies almost the entire island, and was perhaps built by the Portuguese or the British settlers. There are several cannons strewn across the fort, and one very large gun. The top of the fort has a mound with a solitary large Ficus (Peepal) tree.

The island is sparsely occupied by fisher folk, although it seems to have no natural source of fresh water. At the base of the fort, some brick and mortar construction lies in dilapidated condition. This is obviously more recent as compared to the fort and seems to have been deserted by the occupants for unknown reasons. While there is no guided tour or regular transport available to reach the island, it is possible to get such a service from local fishermen around ferry wharf for about Rs. 1000 for a 6-seater boat.

Donaustauf

Walhalla with the village of Donaustauf (around 1850)

Donaustauf is a market town in Bavaria, 5 km (3 mi) east of Regensburg at the foothills of the Bavarian Forest. The ruins of a medieval castle, presumably erected between 914 and 930, tower above the small town. Situated nearby on a hill rising from the Danube is the imposing Teutonic temple of fame, Walhalla, a costly reproduction of the Parthenon in Athens. The Walhalla was commissioned by Ludwig I, King of Bavaria, and inaugurated on 18 October 1842.

Donaustauf had been a fief in the Duchy of Bavaria, but in 1710 it was transferred to Bishopric of Regensburg. In 1803 it joined the newly formed Principality of Regensburg, but just 7 years later, at the Treaty of ParisThurn and Taxis. In 1899, the princely house was elevated to a dukedom, receiving the title of Duke of Wörth and Donaustauf.

Maximilian Karl, Prince of Thurn and Taxis and his family, who liked the romantic scenery of Donaustauf, moved to the newly constructed princely Castle Donaustauf in 1843, which, however, was completely destroyed during a blaze on 4 March 1880.

Tamkhosrow

Tamkhosrau or Tamkhusro ("strong Khosrau", in Greek sources rendered as Ταμχοσρώ or Ταμχοσρόης, Tamchosroes), was a Sassanid Persian general active in the Roman–Persian Wars of the late 6th century. As his honorific name indicates, he was a highly regarded man among the Persians, and one of the chief generals of the shah Khosrau I (r. 531–579).

Biography

Tamkhosrau first appears in early 575. A one-year truce had been negotiated in 574, interrupting the ongoing war (since 572) between Persia and the East Roman (Byzantine) Empire, while negotiations were taking place to conclude an even longer truce. While the Persians insisted on a five-year truce, the Roman emissaries refused to accept it and insisted on a three-year duration. In order to apply pressure on the Byzantines, the Persian general Mahbod ordered Tamkhosrau to launch an attack. Tamkhosrau led a major raid that plundered the territory around Dara in northern Mesopotamia. A three-year truce was concluded soon after, in exchange for an annual payment of 30,000 gold solidi from the Byzantines.

Map of the Byzantine–Persian frontier.

As a result of the truce, fighting was refocused to Persian Armenia; there, the Byzantines had considerable success, driving off a large Persian invasion led by Khosrau himself, and securing much of the country.Armenia and defeated the East Roman general Justinian. Thereafter, the Persians abandoned the negotiations.magister militum Armeniae Maurice, after feinting in the direction of Theodosiopolis, he led a surprise raid south and plundered the regions around Martyropolis and Amida. His decision, however, was criticized by the Persians as the result of inexperience, and he was recalled and replaced in his Armenian command by Varaz Vzur.


Tamkhosrow

By 581, however, he had risen to the post of marzban, and commanded the Persian army in northern Mesopotamia. After another round of peace talks broke down, Tamkhosrau, along with Adarmahan, invaded Roman territory and headed for the town of Constantina. Maurice, who had been expecting and preparing for such an attack, met the Persians in battle outside the city in June 582. The Persian army suffered a heavy defeat, and Tamkhosrau was killed.

Synopsis

Time: 16th century

Act 1


Béatrice (opera)

Time: 16th century

Act 1

A courtyard of the Abbaye d'Épines fleuries. On the right a grill looking out over the countryside, on the left the entrance to a chapel.
As the curtain rises Béatrice relates to the other nuns the story of how the monastery came to be built. A gardener brings in flowers. Béatrice, 18 years old, claims for herself the charge of looking after the altar to the virgin; her excessive ardour earns her a rebuke.
Alone with Odile and Blandine, the devout Béatrice offers food to a gypsy woman who passes by, and who tells Béatrice's fortune, predicting for her an existence of all the human passions; she is dismissed by Béatrice. The bishop enters, to whom Béatrice tells of her entry to the sisterhood as a result of her prayers for the recovery of Lorenzo, a young man who had returned injured from battle with the Turks.
Béatrice is stunned to hear the voice of Lorenzo approaching; he enters and pleads with for her to leave with him. She refuses but two companions of Lorenzo appear and they abduct Béatrice. When they have gone, the statue of the virgin comes to life, closes the monastery gate, takes up the cloak of Béatrice and enters the monastery.

Act 2


Béatrice (opera)

Act 2

A terrace by the sea; on the left a couch, beyond the terrace can be seen a canopy of trees in a garden leading down to the shore. The voice of a fisherman is heard in the distance.
Lorenzo joins Béatrice, who expresses her happiness living with him. Lorenzo tells Béatrice that he has invited the poet Fabrice and savant Tibério, along with Lélia, Musidora, Florise and friends, but Béatrice longs for a simple loving life with Lorenzo rather than jewels he gives her and lively convivial company. Lorenzo's friends enter, and after Béatrice repeats her simple love of Lorenzo, they all toast Venus, and all but Musidora and Lorenzo go down to the shore.
Lorenzo asks Musidora if she still loves Fabrice; they begin to sing about love, and eventually they join in a passionate embrace. Béatrice has entered unseen and witnessed this. When Lorenzo notices her she denounces his betrayal. He tries to make light of it, and then says he must go to Palermo. Béatrice pleads with him to stay. After he has left she calls for the others to return from the shore. Béatrice wildly offers herself to Tibério, and all again toast Venus.

Act 3


Béatrice (opera)

Act 3

A poor fishermen's tavern on the Calabrian coast. The gypsy, Beppo, Fabio and others carouse.
Lorenzo appears, with Tibério; they have been travelling for four years. The gypsy asks them what they have brought back from their voyages: exotic and wonderful treasures? They reply: no, emptiness. They both complain about the wine, and Tibério goes off.
Béatrice enters, veiled and wearing miserable attire. She calls herself Ginévra, and says that she does not recognise Lorenzo; she dances at the cabaret and is a great attraction for the men who come there. Lorenzo finally agrees that she cannot be Béatrice, at which she replies: Béatrice is dead, killed by Lorenzo! Lorenzo begs forgiveness for having reduced her to this state by his unfaithfulness, saying he had never forgotten her, but when he sees her lascivious behaviour towards the locals, he flees. Sailors and fishermen have returned, demanding that Ginévra dance for them. She does so – slowly at first, then faster and faster. The men argue over her, then a fight breaks out and Beppo falls dead. Béatrice believes that by her actions she has killed him; she leans fainting against a wall. Gradually, as if in a vision, the virgin of Épines fleuries appears and a holy choir sings.

Act 4

Scene : the same as the first act
After a prelude, Béatrice enters through the gate, penitent, broken with exhaustion and her clothes in tatters. She staggers to the altar, devoid of the statue of the virgin, as the nuns sing off-stage. The mother superior asks the virgin – dressed as Béatrice – to lead the prayers for the return of the statue.
The virgin tells Béatrice to rise, and to reject the weakness of man and the frailty of woman. The virgin explains who she is and tells how she took Béatrice's place and undertook her duties in her absence; she forgives her sins while she was away. Removing her cloak she reveals a white robe and a crown of flowers. She then places the cloak across Béatrice's shoulders, and ascends the alcove of her altar. The nuns run on and find Béatrice collapsed on the ground and the statue back in its place. As the statue of the virgin pronounces Béatrice's name, the opera ends with a chorus of praise of nuns and angels.


10 cm Gebirgshaubitze M 8

Either a M. 8 or a M. 10 in Palestine

The 10 cm Gebirgshaubitze M 8 was a mountain howitzer used by Austria-Hungary during World War I. It was the first Austrian howitzer to use a modern hydraulic variable-recoil system. It used the same ammunition as the earlier 10 cm Gebirgshaubitze M 99, which was shown to be accurate, but lacked sufficient power to destroy bunkers, during World War I. It had a gun shield. It could be mounted on a special sled carriage designated 10 cm M. 8 Gebirgsschleife designed to allow for high-angle fire between +43° and 70° elevation. This sled was transported on a special bedding cart with removable wheels. The wheels were removed when in position to fire.

The 10 cm Gebirgshaubitze M 10 was virtually identical except that it had its traversing and elevating handwheels on different sides and it was not given a high-angle mount.

Wansdyke (district)

Wansdyke was a non-metropolitan district within the County of Avon west of England from 1974 to 1996.

The district was formed by the Local Government Act 1972 on 1 April 1974 as part of a reform of local authorities throughout England and Wales. Under the reorganisation, the area surrounding the cities of Bath and Bristol was formed into the new county of Avon, named after the river that passes through the area. The county was divided into six districts, one of which was formed from the areas of the Keynsham and Norton-Radstock urban districts, Bathavon Rural District and part of Clutton Rural District in Somerset.Wansdyke earthwork.

Following a review by the Local Government Commission for England, both the County of Avon and District of Wansdyke were abolished on 1 April 1996. Wansdyke was merged with neighbouring City of Bath to form the unitary authority of Bath and North East Somerset.

The Parliamentary constituency of Wansdyke, covering a similar but not identical area, was replaced at the 2010 general election when it was split and merged into the North East Somerset and Kingswood constituencies.

Česma

Česma is a river in central Croatia, a left tributary of the river Lonja-Trebež. It is 106 km (66 mi) long, and its catchment area is 3,253 km2 (1,256 sq mi).

Created by merging streams Grđevica and Barna at 45°43′32″N 17°03′01″E / 45.72556°N 17.05028°E near the village of Pavlovac in the municipality of Veliki Grđevac. Česma basin is fan-shaped and formed by a number of streams rising on the slopes of Bilogora and Moslavačka gora hills. Southern sides of Bilogora slightly goes downhill, rugged with numerous ravines and gullies, steeply and deeply cut in. On the sides appears numerous springs, that in the dry part of the year losing water.

It has a small drop (small difference in altitude between the source and the mouth) which was causing frequent floods before the regulation of the riverbed. The area around the watercourse of Česma till a hundred years ago was subject of flooding, which is why it was swampy. After that, Česma river and its tributaries was channelized, embankments were built for flood protection, and the soil is dried to obtain arable land as well as the fight against malaria.

At the site of former wetlands now are fish ponds that supply water from streams that flows into the Česma river. These ponds are one of the last refuge of wading birds between the Drava and Sava rivers.

Along Česma river there are several major fish farming complexes. North of Česma fish pond — ribnjačastvo Dubrava, and along the southern coast fish ponds — Siščani, Blatnica and Narta. Both complexes are spread at about 5 kilometers along the course Česma river, and environment are similar. They are about 5 kilometers away to each other. The total area covered by commercial fish ponds is 1,346 ha (3,330 acres).

10 cm Nebelwerfer 35

The 10 cm Nebelwerfer 35 (10 cm NbW 35) was a heavy mortar used by Germany during World War II. Much like the American M2 4.2 inch mortar it was intended to deliver chemical munitions, such as gas and smoke shells. Unlike the American weapon it appears to have had an ordinary high-explosive shell from the beginning. It was of conventional design, and was virtually a scaled-up 8 cm GrW 34. It broke down into the standard three loads for transport. The tube weighed 31.7 kg (70 lb), the baseplate 36.3 kg (80 lb) and the bipod 32.2 kg (71 lb). Each could be man-packed for some distance, but small handcarts were issued for longer distances. Each mortar squad consisted of a squad leader, three gunners and three ammunition bearers.

It was initially deployed in (German: Nebelwerfer "smoke mortar") battalions belonging to the Chemical Corps of the Heer; exactly how the American initially fielded their own 4.2 inch mortar in chemical mortar battalions. From 1941 they were replaced by the 10 cm Nebelwerfer 40 and the 15 cm Nebelwerfer 41 multiple rocket launcher.

Operational use

Initially they were deployed in Nebelwerfer battalions numbered 1 to 9, plus the Nebel-Lehr Abteilung (Demonstration Battalion) and saw service in the Battle of France and Russia during Operation Barbarossa.

Specialist units using these mortars were also formed, such as Gebirgs-Werfer-Abteilung (Mountain Mortar Battalion) 10 which was formed in Finland in early 1942 by expanding Nebelwerfer-Batterie 222., This had itself been converted from 8th Battery of Artillery Regiment 222 of the 181st Infantry Division during the invasion of Norway.

Following their replacement in the chemical corps, further uses were found for the mortars, including issue to Fallschirmjager units as Heavy Mortars.

The track features one layout, a 1-mile (1.6 km) concrete oval, with 24° banking in the turns and 9° banking on the straights. The speedway is owned and operated by Dover Motorsports.

The track, nicknamed "The Monster Mile", was built in 1969 by Melvin Joseph of Melvin L. Joseph Construction Company, Inc., with an asphalt surface, but was replaced with concrete in 1995. Six years later in 2001, the track's capacity moved to 135,000 seats, making the track have the largest capacity of sports venue in the mid-Atlantic. In 2002, the name changed to Dover International Speedway from Dover Downs International Speedway after Dover Downs Gaming and Entertainment split, making Dover Motorsports. From 2007 to 2009, the speedway worked on an improvement project called "The Monster Makeover", which expanded facilities at the track and beautified the track. After the 2014 season, the track's capacity was reduced to 95,500 seats.

Jeff Gordon, driving for Hendrick Motorsports, would win the pole, setting a time of 23.258 and an average speed of 154.785 miles per hour (249.102 km/h).

Čestmír Gregor

Čestmír Gregor (14 May 1926 – 2 March 2011) was a Czech composer, theorist and publicist. His career as a composer lasted from 1942 to 2005, and encompassed a variety of styles and formats.

Life and career

Čestmír Gregor was born in Brno, the son of composer and theorist Josef Gregor (1892-1957) and Františka Gregorová Koldová. After graduating from grammar school, he studied composition at the Brno Conservatory with Jaroslav Kvapil and musicology at the Masaryk University in Brno. He then continued studies in studio tracks with Kvapil at the Janáček Academy of Music and Performing Arts, which he eventually completed in 1970.

Gregor settled in Nový Jičín and worked as a composer. He married and had one son, Vit Gregor.Ostrava to work as head of the music broadcast station for Ostrava Czech Radio. In 1968 the arrival of Warsaw Pact troops disrupted his work at the radio station, and in 1972 Gregor was banned from publishing. In 1976 he moved to Prague, where he continued working as a composer.

As a composer, Gregor was initially heavily influenced by 20th century classical music, especially that of Igor Stravinsky, and by jazz. During the 1950s, with their requirements of Socialist realism, he produced songs for the Socialist Youth Movement, and expressed politically correct themes in his symphonic works. In later years, he endorsed the European modernist tradition.

He died in Prague in 2011.

For homonymy, see Cross Lake (disambiguation).

Cross Lake is a large lake in Manitoba on the Nelson River north of Lake Winnipeg. It is long and narrow and extends 102 km (63 mi) east-northeast.

The Nelson River west channel enters the lake at the Jenpeg Dam and the Nelson River east channel enters near the communities of Cross Lake and Cross Lake First Nation. The river then flows north to Sipiwesk Lake. The Minago River enters on the west.

The lake level is regulated by Manitoba Hydro at the Jenpeg Generating Station ( 54°32′36″N 98°1′36″W / 54.54333°N 98.02667°W) at the southern end of the lake.

Portage Routes

From Moon Lake, the source of the Minago River, a portage led to South Moose Lake and the Saskatchewan River. On the southeast side of Cross Lake via the Walker River, Walker Lake and Kapaspwaypanik Lake the Kapaspwaypanik Portage led to the Carrot River and Oxford Lake on the Hayes River.

Take Me When You Go

Take Me When You Go is the debut studio album by Australian-American recording artist Betty Who, released on 3 October 2014 by RCA Records. The album is preceded by the extended plays The Movement, Slow Dancing and Worlds Apart.

Who writes from the perspective of a millennial learning to navigate breakups, loves of all shapes and sizes, and coming to terms with her own growing maturity. In an interview with Billboard she said "A lot of the relationships that inspired this record ended with me coming to terms with [the fact] that I love myself far too much to be anybody's second choice. That was a huge growth for me that led to the arc, the storyline of this record."

Commercial performance

Take Me When You Go debuted at number 68 on the Billboard 200, selling 5,000 copies in its first week.
