St. Patrick's Roman Catholic Church (Milwaukee, Wisconsin)

For other places of a similar name, see St. Patrick's Church.

St. Patrick's Roman Catholic Church is a historic church built in 1893 at the corner of 7th and Washington Streets in Walker's Point on the near South Side of Milwaukee, Wisconsin - still very intact. The building was designated a city landmark in 1973 and added to the National Register of Historic Places the following year for its artistic and architectural significance.

History

St. Patrick's parish was organized in 1876, the first English-speaking parish on the South Side. Its initial members were mostly Irish immigrants and their children, to later be joined by Germans and Poles. In 1876 they built a combination church and school - the 2-story brick building at left in the photo.

By the 1890s the parish was ready for a grander, larger building, and they hired James J. Egan of Chicago as architect. Eagan's design was built from 1893 to 1895 - a gable-roofed rectangular main block about 150 feet long along its east–west axis, about 70 feet wide, built of pressed brick and trimmed with Bedford limestone. A square tower stands at the northeast corner. The tower is flanked with corner buttresses and rises to a spire topped with a cross, 122 feet above the street. Centered beside the tower is the main entrance and above it is a large multi-pane window with six-circle shapes that echo a similar shape in the tower. Inside, the floor-plan is center-aisle, with the altar in an apse on the west end. A hammer-beam ceiling contains dormers with stained-glass clerestory windows imported from Austria. Sculptor Gaetano Trentanove carved the white marble sculpture of the Madonna and Child incorporated into the south altar.

Since 2006, the parish has been administered jointly with the nearby parish of Our Lady of Guadalupe, and the two share Jesuit clergy.

10 and Under Tennis

10 and Under Tennis is a program that was introduced by the United States Tennis Association (USTA) in the summer of 2010.International Tennis Federation (ITF) events involving players of years 10 and younger.court, balls, racket, and net to the size and strength level of youth players.balls rather than chasing them. It allows them to hone tennis skills and accelerate their development. The hope is that earlier success in tennis will translate to a lifetime of interest in the sport and perhaps set a foundation for generations of more world-class players.

Under the changes made through 10 and Under Tennis, not only are court dimensions smaller, racket shorter, and tennis nets lower but the balls used are larger and have less compression. With a lower compression, balls don't bounce as high.ball.

The unique coloring of the balls provides better visual indication of the spin that both that the player and his/her opponent are able to put on the ball. A large part of developing a strong tennis stroke is being able to generate the necessary ball rotation required in each situation. The colorized ball provides immediate feedback, letting the young players know if they executed their stroke properly.

As young players progress in age and ability, the size of the court and balls change as well. The player's progression through the levels of the 10 and Under Tennis program supports an easier transition to the standard adult game. By the time players evolve to the traditional ball and court dimensions, they will have had more chances to master the nuances of the game than players taking more conventional developmental approaches using standard balls, court sizes, and instruction.

Senecio pygmaeus

Senecio pygmaeus, the pygmy ragwort, is a species of plant in the Asteraceae family. It is sub-endemic to Malta, it also found in Sicily, Lampedusa, Pantelleria, and other islands.


The Alliance of Mennonite Evangelical Congregations (AMEC) is an association of conservative evangelical Mennonite churches. The organization was officially formed in 2002 over concerns relating to the merger of the Mennonite Church and the General Conference Mennonite Church.

As a denomination, AMEC positions itself a voluntary association of congregations which maintain a common two-fold commitment "both to the doctrinal foundation of evangelical orthodoxy and to the worthy tenets of historic biblical Anabaptism."

Menno Simons

Background

The founding of the AMEC was the culmination of a movement to renew the 16th century Anabaptist emphasis on evangelism, coupled with concerns over doctrinal compromise and the upcoming merger of the Mennonite Church and the General Conference Mennonite Church. A consultation of evangelical Mennonite leaders was held at Smoketown, Pennsylvania, in July 1979. Out of this meeting came a declaration called the "Smoketown Statement". It called for "a reaffirmation of the authority of Scripture, a reexamination of priorities with emphasis on the saving power of the Gospel, and a clear call for renewed emphasis on evangelism." This was followed by another consultation held in Berne, Indiana, in March 1981. In 1992 this evangelical group organized the Evangelical Anabaptist Fellowship, and began publishing an EAF Newsletter.

As the merger of the Mennonite Church and the General Conference Mennonite Church developed, they jointly adopted a new Confession of Faith as the basis of the merger. Members of the EAF believed that portions of the confession were left deliberately ambiguous, especially concerning the infallibility of the Scriptures. Other controversial issues included whether the new confession was merely a guideline or a definitive statement to which leadership would be expected to adhere in guiding the new denomination, and whether certain behaviors were to be prohibited to those who are members of the church. Some evangelical Mennonites felt that discussion of doctrinal issues was downplayed in order to promote unity and merger.


A meeting representing 24 churches from four states was convened on February 12, 2000, at Smoketown, Pennsylvania. Representatives concluded that "in light of the formation of the new Mennonite Church USA and its departure from Biblical orthodoxy, we believe God is calling us to form a new affiliation of evangelical Anabaptist congregations." The EAF Board of Directors appointed a committee to make recommendations on how to proceed. Early in 2000, Association of Evangelical Mennonite Congregations was adopted as the tentative name of the organization, and the move toward organization was affirmed. On September 30, 2000, at a meeting in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, the first congregation committed to affiliate with the proposed organization. Soon after this, seven other congregations also committed to affiliate with the association. On June 19, 2002, bylaws were drafted. They were adopted on September 28, 2002. The name was changed to Alliance of Mennonite Evangelical Congregations.

Status

Membership in this new body, according to the bylaws, is open to any congregation that "endorses the Purposes and Principles", and "affirms the Statement of Doctrine". Individuals whose local congregation is not affiliated with the AMEC can apply for "Associate Membership" under the same conditions.

At the end of 2003, 16 congregations in Pennsylvania and New York were part of the Alliance of Mennonite Evangelical Congregations, representing possibly 2000 individual believers. Some of the congregations are dually aligned with the AMEC and the Mennonite Church USA. In the fall of 2003, they launched a quarterly publication, InterLink, which is available on their website or by mail. Currently offices are in Paradise, Pennsylvania. The Alliance conference and general assembly is held biennially. The body is committed to providing fellowship for evangelical Mennonites throughout North America.

As of 2016, 28 Congregations were affiliated with AMEC. Most were in Pennsylvania, but Oklahoma, New York, and Delaware were also represented.

Faith and practice


Faith and practice

Beliefs include: the Bible as the inspired infallible word of God; the eternal existence of God in three persons; the virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, vicarious atonement, bodily resurrection, ascension, present intercession, and personal return of Jesus; mankind's fall and the need of salvation; the sanctity of human life; marriage between one man and one woman; the doctrine of non-resistance; and the resurrection of all people to either eternal happiness or eternal separation from God. While anointing with oil, prayer for the sick, feet washing, and the devotional head covering are affirmed by most churches, the AMEC recognizes two ordinances — believers baptism and the Lord's supper — as distinct from these other practices.

Local congregations are independent and autonomous, but the AMEC believes this does not "…imply autonomy from the Authority of Scripture and its clear teachings…".

St. Patrick's Island Park

Part of the city skyline can be seen above St. Patrick's Island Park

St. Patrick's Island Park (also simply known as St. Patrick's Island) is a 31-acre public park on an island at the confluence of the Bow and Elbow rivers just northeast of Downtown Calgary. St. Patrick's Island is one of Calgary's oldest parks. Its development as a public space began in the 1890s, gaining momentum as an important public space in the Calgary inner city with the construction of a bridge to the island in the early 1900s. Throughout the decades, the island has been transformed, playing host to a campground in the 1960s, to being the host of squatters for much of the period from the 1980s to the 2000s. For several decades, the island was connected to Calgary's undesirable East Village neighbourhood by a steel and wooden bridge. However, in the late 2000s the Calgary Municipal Land Corporation began a redevelopment of the East Village, with a particular focus on redeveloping St. Patrick's Island into a full-fledged city park with programmed activities and physical access to the Bow River. After years of construction, the newly redeveloped St. Patrick's Island Park opened to the public in July 2015, along with the new George C. King Bridge which connects the island park with both the East Village to the south and Bridgeland to the north.

Women's Ordination Conference

The Women's Ordination Conference is an organization in the United States that works to ordain women as deacons, priests, and bishops in the Catholic Church.

Founded in 1975, the conference was seeded from an idea the year before, when Mary B. Lynch asked the people on her Christmas list if it was time to publicly ask "Should Catholic women be priests?"Detroit, Michigan on the Thanksgiving weekend of 1975, with nearly 2,000 people in attendance.Ruth Fitzpatrick was hired as the conference's national coordinator in 1977 and served in that role from 1977-78 and then returned to that role for a decade starting in 1985.

According to the teachings of the Catholic Church, ordaining women is theologically impossible, as Pope John Paul II declared in Ordinatio sacerdotalis.

History

After its foundation in 1975, WOC first gained notoriety in 1979 during Pope John Paul II's first visit to the United States. Three leaders of the group, including Ruth Fitzpatrick, led an all-night candlelight vigil outside the place where the Pope was staying the night before the pope's audience at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C.Leadership Conference of Women Religious, asked the pope to permit women to serve in all ministries of the Catholic Church.

The organization has also hosted several conferences after their inaugural event in 1975 in Detroit, with conferences in 1978 in Baltimore and 1995 in Washington, D.C. It has also hosted conferences in conjunction with Women's Ordination Worldwide in 2001 in Dublin, Ireland,Pope Francis' first visit to the United States.

In October 2018, WOC organized a peaceful protest outside the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith in Rome to call for "Votes for Catholic Women" during the Fifteenth Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops on "Young People, Faith, and Vocational Discernment."

Leadership and views

Kate McElwee is the executive director of the Women's Ordination Conference as of June 2022.

WOC leaders frequently cite a conclusion of Catholic theologians from the Vatican's Pontifical Biblical Commission that found no scriptural basis for the exclusion of women from the Catholic priesthood. The conference has said Pope Francis could refer to that finding to allow females into the priesthood.


Women's Ordination Conference

He [Francis] could have quoted the Vatican's own the Pontifical Biblical Commission that concluded in 1976 that there is no valid scriptural or theological reason for denying ordination to women.

—

WOC draws upon a range of scriptural, historical, theological, and political material to promote women's ordination. These positions include Jesus's inclusion of women as his partners in ministry, evidence for women's leadership in the early church, the theological stance that women are capable of imaging Christ on earth, the church's evolution throughout history, the authenticity of women's vocations, and the sociopolitical outcomes of women's equal leadership.

Canonical status

Paul Joseph Cini

Paul Joseph Cini (born c. 1944)skyjacking with a planned escape by use of a parachute.flight plan that included a stop in the United States in order to pickup ransom money. Cini, who often became agitated during the event, was kept calm by a flight attendant, Mary Dohey, who had a psychological background before working for the airline. The hijacker was overpowered by Dohey and two additional members of the flight crew when he attempted to bail from the plane over the Alberta, Canada, wilderness.

Background

While watching a news story about an unsuccessful hijacking, 27-year-oldAir Canada DC-8,Vancouver to Toronto via one stop at Calgary, as his target.

The hijacking

On 13 November 1971, Cini boarded the airliner at its scheduled first stop in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. He had prepared for his actions by bringing several items with him in his luggage. His equipment included: a sawed-off shotgun, two bundles of dynamite, rope, a black hood, a makeshift parachute wrapped with cord, and camping equipment for survival in the wilderness following his planned exit from the plane.

After consuming several alcoholic drinks, Cini, posing as an Irish Republican Army (IRA) terrorist seeking refuge and safe passage to Northern Ireland,Mary Dohey of his intentions. Dohey, who had trained as a psychiatric nurse before becoming a flight attendant, managed to calm the often highly-agitated Cini during the eight-hour ordeal, even though she was forced by Cini to maintain pressure on the bomb trigger that kept two hot electrical wires apart during the entirety of the event.

"I wanted recognition ... I wanted to stand up and say, 'Hey, I’m Paul Cini, and I’m here, and I exist, and I want to be noticed.' " —Paul Cini

Dohey brought the hijacker's demands to Flight Captain Vernon Ehman,Great Falls, Montana where Cini demanded CD$1.5 million as ransom be delivered.US$50,000, which he accepted,


Paul Joseph Cini

Cini ordered the plane to continue on to Phoenix, Arizona, but once in the air, the inebriated skyjacker quickly changed his mind and demanded the plane head back into Canada. Nearing Calgary, Cini put his escape plan into motion, readying the plane to allow his departure by parachute into the Alberta "wilderness", although they were over rurally populated range and farmland at the time. The parachute, however, could not be deployed due to his inability to untie the knot in the twine he had used to secure it. Demanding something to cut through the bindings, a member of the flight crew, John Joseph Arpin, brought him a fire axe. When Cini absent mindedly put the shotgun down to use the axe, Pilot-in-Command Ehman jumped him and Arpin hit him in the head with the axe handle, which fractured his skull and rendered him unconscious. This act brought the hijacking to a swift close.

Aftermath

Cini was eventually arraigned on seven charges, four of which carried a maximum penalty of life imprisonment.Cross of Valour for bravery;Canadian Star of Courage; and Captain Ehman received the Medal of Bravery.

Legacy

This hijacking was followed just 11 days later with the skyjacking of Northwest Orient Airlines Flight 305, an event that featured what appeared to be another hijacker's successful escape by parachuting out from the plane into the Northwestern United States wilderness. This hijacker was known only by the pseudonym D. B. Cooper.

10 cm K 04

The 10 cm Kanone 04 (10 cm K 04) was a field gun used by Germany in World War I. It was the second heavy gun with modern recoil system accepted by the German Army. It was produced as a replacement for the 10 cm K 99 and the lange 15 cm Kanone 92. Although the standard version lacked a gunshield, some models, such as the 10 cm K 04/12, were fitted with a special gunshield and some other minor modifications. There was only 32 in service at the outbreak of the war.

It could be transported in one load by a team of six horses, or it could be broken down into two loads (tandem hitches) for crossing rough terrain.

This article is about the 1991 video game. For the 2012 book, see Riot City: Protest and Rebellion in the Capital.

Riot City (ライオットシティ) is a 1991 2D beat 'em up arcade game developed by Westone and published by Sega.

Plot

The plot begins when narcotics agents Paul and Bobby are committed to putting an end to the drug syndicate known as "MID". MID's secret hideout is located on Riot Island, an island full of uninhabited ruins with people moved inside of it while turning it into a slum. Buildings include apartments, hospitals, factories and even a casino. During their heavy research on MID, they unexpectedly received a phone call from MID. When Paul heard the voice of his girlfriend Catherine crying for help on the phone while being hung up without explaining, he assumed she's been abducted, making him and Bobby head toward Riot Island and save her.

Gameplay

Riot City resembles Capcom's 1989 arcade hit, Final Fight, which is an archetypal side scrolling beat-em-up game.break-dancer from left to right through each level (most of which are split into three or more scenes), fighting with the enemy characters who appear, until they reach a confrontation with a stronger boss character at the end of the level. Once that boss is beaten, the players automatically move on to the next stage. Enemies appear from both sides of the screen, and the players must defeat all of them to progress. If the players try to simply travel through the levels without fighting, the screen will stop scrolling until all current enemies have been defeated, before allowing the players to continue progress. Enemies may move outside the confines of the screen, but players may not. Unlike Final Fight, there are no weapons to pick up along the way, but players will only pick up items for points.

Soundtrack

A soundtrack album, Riot City Original Soundtracks was released by EGG Music, a division of D4 Enterprise, on February 27, 2009. It contains every background music and sound effect from the game, which were composed by Jin Watanabe, who also composed Monster World IV along with Shinichi Sakamoto.

Riot Zone

While Westone decided to create a modified version of Sega's Wonder Boy for Hudson Soft as Adventure Island for the NES, they also took Riot City, remade and ported it to the TurboGrafx-CD as Riot Zone (known in Japan as Crest of Wolf (クレスト オブ ウルフ or 狼的紋章)).Riot Zone, Hawk (who uses Paul's) and Tony (who uses Bobby's). Some parts of several Riot City stages were also recycled for use in Riot Zone. Unlike Riot City, Riot Zone lacks multiplayer and features high-quality music instead of chip-tune music.

Paul Joseph Barthez

Paul Joseph Barthez

Paul Joseph Barthez (11 December 1734 – 15 October 1806) was a French physician, physiologist, and encyclopedist who developed a take on the biological theory known as vitalism.

Life

He was born at Montpellier, educated at Narbonne and Toulouse, and began the study of medicine at Montpellier in 1750, taking his doctor's degree in 1753. In 1756, he obtained the appointment of physician to the military hospital in Normandy attached to the army of observation commanded by Marshal d'Estrées, but a severe attack of hospital fever compelled him to leave this post. In 1757, his services were required in the medical staff of the army of Westphalia, where he had the rank of consulting physician, and on his return to Paris he acted as joint editor of the Journal des savants and the Encyclopédie méthodique. In 1759 he obtained a medical professorship at Montpellier, and in 1774 he was created joint chancellor of the university.

In 1778, he published his most famous work, Nouveaux élémens de la science de l'homme, in which he employs the expression "vital principle" as a convenient term for the cause of the phenomena of life, without committing himself to either a spiritualistic or a materialistic view of its nature. Taking the degree of doctor of civil law in 1780, he secured the appointment of counsellor to the Supreme Court of Aids at Montpellier, but he soon took up his residence in Paris, having been nominated consulting physician to the king. In 1784, he was elected a foreign member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.Encyclopédie of Denis Diderot and d’Alembert.


Paul Joseph Barthez

On the outbreak of the French Revolution he lost much of his fortune, but was much esteemed and honoured by Napoleon. He retired to Carcassonne, where he devoted himself to the study of theoretical medicine. It was from this retreat that he gave to the world his Nouvelle mécanique des mouvemens de l'homme et des animaux, which appeared in 1798. In 1802 he published his Traitement des maladies goutteuses, and he afterwards occupied himself in preparing for the press a new edition of his Élémens de la science de l'homme, of which he just lived to see the publication. His health had been declining for some years before his death, which took place soon after his removal to Paris.

He bequeathed his books and manuscripts to J. Lordat, who published two volumes of his Consultations de médecine in 1810. His Traité du beau was also published posthumously in 1807.

Savage Mondo Blitzers

Savage Mondo Blitzers were a line of miniature collectible toy figures on skateboards produced by Kenner in 1991 and sold in the United States, Italy, Greece, and Argentina. They were about an inch tall. They came in sets of four skaters per pack, each set had a different gang, and each skater his own personality.

Gangs

There were 9 gangs released in the USA including a deluxe pack:

  * Damaged and Deadly Gang - Blood Hockey, Mr. Mutator Head, Chop Chop, Head Alert
  * The Dudes of Disaster - Bad Fart, Blade Invader, Killer Kommando, Twin Geeks
  * The Butt Kickers - Snot Shot, Secret Weapon, Gun Runner, Cleat Meat
  * The Chunk Blowers - Tyrannosaurus Ax, Loaded Diaper, Direct Hit, Big Hans
  * The Skull Crunchers - Fat Ax, Pork Chopper, Bad to the Bone, Roach Kill
  * Concrete Breakfast Gang - Metal Head, Shark Bait, Knight to Dismember, and Barf Bucket

  * The Sewer Surfers - Numb Chuck, Robozooka, Bad Audience, Butterfly Gone Bad
  * Crazy 8 with 'Lightning Launcher' - Destruction Worker, Lawn Disorder, Chow Hound, General Mayhem, Armed & Dangerous, Fist Fight, Shishke Bob, and Jack Hammer.

Although pictures of the following gangs appeared on the back of the packaging, they were never released in the USA:

  * Brains Not Included - Wedgyson, Fly'd Out, Gutter Brawl, Salad Bartender
  * Puke Shooters Gang - Hex Bolt, Gas Attack, Leg Up, Bad Apple

These figures are very rare and can only be found in the Italian and Greek versions of the toys.

Foreign versions

In Italy the toys were renamed 'Gli Skatenati.' In Greece; 'Skateboard Mania.' They were blind packaged with one in a pack as opposed to the four-packs seen in the USA. The unreleased figures seen in the 'Brains Not Included' and 'Puke Shooters Gang' packs were available only in these foreign lines.


Savage Mondo Blitzers

Although having the same figure molds as the USA line, many of them were painted different colors than their USA counterparts. Gangs and characters were renamed to make more sense within the Greek or Italian language.

One of the Savage Mondo Blitzers toys, Chow Hound, can be seen briefly in The Adventures of Pete & Pete episode "Nightcrawlers".


South Coast Pipe

The South Coast Pipe (also known as Black Rock, Wreck Bay or Summercloud Bay) is a surf spot in the Jervis Bay Territory, Australia. It takes its name from the Banzai Pipeline in Hawaii because both breaks share many characteristics. It was originally known as just "Pipeline" or "Wreck Bay" by the few surfers who knew about it in the second half of the 1960s. The term "Black Rock" was coined by an Australia Surfing Magazine in 1970 but it remained little-known until the late 1980s.

Location

The break is located in the Booderee National Park just south of Jervis Bay on the western point of Summercloud Bay. The nearest town is the Aboriginal community of Wreck Bay Village.

North Carolina Highway 37

North Carolina Highway 37 (NC 37) is a primary state highway in the northeastern part of the U.S. state of North Carolina. Traveling north–south, it serves as a connector route from U.S. Route 64 (US 64) to Hertford and from US 13 to Gatesville.

Route description

Albemarle Sound Bridge

NC 37 is a predominantly two-lane rural highway which travels 60 miles (97 km) from US 64 near Beasley to US 13 near Gates. Beginning at exit 548, along US 64, NC 37 travels northeasterly for 3.4 miles (5.5 km) before running concurrent with NC 32 and NC 94 near Pea Ridge. Crossing over the Albemarle Sound and entering Chowan County from Washington County, NC 94 splits off towards the Northeastern Regional Airport, followed by NC 32 which heads directly towards Edenton.Perquimans County, it merges with US 17 for a 9-mile (14 km) concurrency. Connecting with the city of Hertford, it switches concurrences with U.S. Route 17 Business (US 17 Bus.) in Winfall. After a 0.9-mile (1.4 km) concurrency, it travels solo again as it goes through downtown Winfall then northeasterly through Belvidere.Gliden, it rejoins NC 32 for a short concurrency, entering Gates County and through Mintonsville, before separating again at Mitchells Fork. Traveling through the communities of Willow and Vivian, it goes through downtown Gatesville, where it shares a short concurrency with US 158 Bus. Continuing north, it connects with US 158 at Eleanors Crossroads. After traveling through the communities of Buckland and Gates, it ends at US 13 one mile (1.6 km) from the Virginia state line.

NC 37 shares part of the Edenton-Windsor Loop where it crosses the Albemarle Sound (indicated by a Scenic Byways sign). The loop, which connects to nearby Edenton and Windsor, showcases historic sites, like the Cupola House and the Rehoboth Methodist Church, and scenic views of the Inner Banks. 37 is also part of the Historic Albemarle Tour, though no actual historic sites or museums are located along its route.

History


North Carolina Highway 37

History

NC 37 was established in 1934 as a renumbering of NC 321 from US 17 in Winfall to SR 53 at the Virginia state line. 37 was extended south in concurrency with US 17 into Chowan County, where it then replaced a segment of NC 172 to NC 32 in St. Johns. 37 was truncated at US 13, one mile (1.6 km) from the Virginia state line. 37 was rerouted onto new bypass route, in concurrency with US 17, east of Hertford. North of Hertford, it then shares a concurrency with US 17 Bus. before returning on its routing towards Winfall; its old alignment was replaced by US 17 Bus.

In June 2016, NC 37 was extended south from St. Johns, in a concurrency with NC 32 and NC 94, into Washington County near Beasley; it splits onto new primary routing to its southern terminus at US 64's exit 548.

North Carolina Highway 321

North Carolina Highway 321 (NC 321) was an original state highway that traversed from NC 342, in Winfall, northwest to NC 32, in Gilden. 321 was extended northwest, on new primary routing, to NC 30, in Gatesville. 32 was extended north again, on new primary routing, to the Virginia state line; the following year Virginia extended SR 53 to the state line to connect with NC 321.US 321 existing in the state, NC 321 was renumbered to NC 37.

Villa of Lucullus

Excavations of Villa of Lucullus, Naples, 2006

Villa of Lucullus on Monte Echia, Naples

Hall of columns, Castel dell'Ovo

The villa of Lucullus was an extensive and sumptuous ancient Roman villa built in the first century BC in Naples by the famous gourmet, general and consul.Gardens of Lucullus in Rome, one in Tusculum in the Alban Hills, one on the island of Nisida and another at Misenum also in the Bay of Naples.

The villa was equipped with piers that stretched out into the sea, a very rich library, fish ponds and moray eel farmsCerasus.

It was here that it was said that Lucullus had a "mountain" pierced at a greater outlay than he had spent on his villa, in order to make a channel to connect the sea to his fish ponds; for this reason Pompey the Great called him "Xerxes in a toga".

The villa was so famous for its banquets that even today the adjective Lucullan indicates a particularly abundant and delicious meal.

On the death of Lucullus (57/56 BC) the villa passed to the Roman emperor. Under Valentinian III (419-455) it was transformed into a fortress, since then called the castellum Lucullanum, and was the place of exile of Romulus Augustulus, the last Western Roman Emperor.

Remains

Remains of the villa, given its enormous area, are visible at several places in the city of Naples. The villa included and extended from the islet of Megaride where its nucleus stood, to Mount Echia on the south side and, most likely on the south-east side up to the district of Maschio Angioino.

The largest and perhaps most important nucleus is located in the cellar of the Castel dell'Ovo situated on the islet of Megaride, the so-called "hall of columns" derived from the Roman columns still standing. Other parts are visible on the Pizzofalcone hill where the city was founded in the 8-9th century BC and many near Piazza Municipio after recent finds.

North Carolina Highway 51

North Carolina Highway 51 (NC 51) is a primary state highway in the U.S. state of North Carolina entirely in Mecklenburg County. It connects the towns of Pineville, Matthews and Mint Hill.

Route description

NC 51 eastbound in Matthews

Though NC 51 begins at the state line, SC 51 is a short 1-mile-long (1.6 km) road that connects with US 21, near Fort Mill, South Carolina. Crossing the state line, NC 51 quickly becomes a four-lane road as it goes through the town of Pineville. After its first intersection with I-485, it enters the Charlotte city limits. In Charlotte, NC 51 crosses the busy intersections of Johnston Road and Providence Road, known for rush-hour traffic during the weekdays. In Matthews, NC 51 bypasses the main downtown area, followed by a semi-controlled interchanged with US 74 (Independence Boulevard). As the NC 51 enters Mint Hill, the road narrows to two-lane. NC 51 crosses intersects I-485 again, before ending at NC 24/NC 27 (Albemarle Road).

History

The first NC 51 was an original state highway that traveled from NC 20, in Rockingham, to NC 74, in Wadeville.Ellerbe became an extension of NC 75. 51 was decommissioned in favor of NC 73, between Ellerbe and Mount Gilead, and NC 109, between Mount Gilead and Wadeville.

The second and current NC 51 was established in 1934 as a renumbering of NC 276, between US 21/US 521, in Pineville, to NC 27, near Allen. 51 was extended to the South Carolina state line, replacing a segment of US 21. 51 was placed on new alignment in Pineville, abandoning an old routing along Lee Street and eliminating a short concurrency with US 521. 51 was placed on new bypass north of downtown Matthews, marked as Matthews Township Parkway. The old alignment along Matthews-Mint Hill Road was downgraded to secondary road.

North Carolina Highway 276

North Carolina Highway 276 (NC 276) appeared in 1930 as new primary routing from NC 26, in Pineville, to NC 27, near Allen. 51.
