# Mount Carmel State Forest

Mount Carmel State Forest covers 263 acres (1.06 km$^2$) in Chittenden, Vermont in Rutland County. Located in the Green Mountains, the forest's elevation ranges from 2380 to 3365 feet at the summit of Mount Carmel.
There is no road access to the forest, which can only be accessed by the New Boston Trail, a side trail to the Long Trail. The Long Trail bisects the forest from north to south, and the New Boston Trail accesses the Long Trail from adjacent U.S. Forest Service land in Green Mountain National Forest. The Green Mountain Club maintains the trail. A snowmobile corridor trail is maintained by the Vermont Association of Snow Travelers.
The forest was a gift to the State of Vermont in 1956 from Governor Redfield Proctor. It is managed by the Vermont Department of Forests, Parks, and Recreation.
# Governor's Cup (Alaska)

The Governor's Cup is an annual award given to the winner of the most games between Alaska and Alaska Anchorage during each season.
The Governor's Cup was first awarded in 1994 as a way to continue the rivalry between the two Division I programs despite being in separate conferences.
The Cup is awarded to whichever team finishes the season with a better record. If there is a tie at the end of the season the two teams hold a shootout to decide the champion.
The series was sponsored by Nissan for the first four years and then Alaska Airlines since 1998.

# Arpitania

Arpitania (Arpitan and Italian: Arpitania, French: Arpitanie) is a term which denotes the purported ethnic or cultural unity of the Western Alps, represented by speakers of Franco-Provençal (termed Arpitan).
"Arpitania" roughly corresponds to the historical County of Savoy and its successor state the Duchy of Savoy:
* France (Ain, Rhône, Savoie, Haute-Savoie, a big part of the Isère department, southern Franche-Comté). The northwestern salient (roughly a strip between Mâcon and Roanne) is seen linguistically transitional between Arpitan, Occitan, and other Oïl languages.
* Italy (Aosta Valley, parts of Piedmont, Faeto and Celle di San Vito in the Province of Foggia, in Apulia)
* Switzerland (Romandy, excluding the northern and western parts of Jura)

## Creation

The terms Arpitan and Arpitania (Arpitanie) are neologisms coined in the 1970s by Joseph Henriet (born 1945), a Communist school teacher who was influenced by the Basque activist Federico Krutwig. In his Garaldea (published 1978), Krutwig names the Basques "Garalditans", a purported Neolithic race which he claimed existed thousands of years ago. Looking for racial or linguistic remnants of the "Garalditans", he moved to the Aosta Valley in 1970, constructing Basque etymologies for local placenames.
In Aosta, Krutwig befriended the young Maoist activist Joseph Henriet. Influenced by Krutwig, Henriet declared the local patois the descendant of the Neolithic "Garalditan language". He later replaced the term garalditan with harpitan, a conflation of the patois words arpa "alp", arpian "one who works on an alp", and the Basque etymology Basque harri-pe "under the rocks" proposed by Krutwig.
Around 1980, Harriet dropped the Basque-inspired initial h-, now proposing an "Arpitan confederation" (Confédération arpitane) uniting Savoy and the Valais (but not including the patois-speaking Vaud). With the failure of his Arpitan political movement, he retired to private life.
The term arpitan since the 1990s has found usage beyond the immediate sphere of Henriet's activities, especially driven by online use. Pichard (2009) suggests its newfound success was due to the happy rhyme with Occitan and the unwieldiness of the alternative francoprovençal. The alternative term patois, while viewed with affection in Switzerland, has a condescending or "humiliating" connotation in France. An Aliance Culturèla Arpitana was founded in 2004.

# Singara

Singara (Ancient Greek: τὰ Σίγγαρα, tà Síngara; Syriac: ܫܝܓܪ) was a strongly fortified post at the northern extremity of Mesopotamia, which for a while, as it appears from coins minted there, was occupied by the Romans as an advanced colony against the Persians. It was the camp of legio I Parthica.

## Location

Its position south-east of Nisibis was indifferently defined by ancient writers, with Stephanus of Byzantium calling it a city of Arabia "near Edessa" and Ptolemy placing it on the Tigris. There is no doubt, however, that it and its adjacent mountain (ὸ Σίγγαρας ὄρος, ò Síngaras óros) were the predecessors of the modern Sinjar and Mount Sinjar in modern Iraq's Nineveh Plains.

## History

It was first taken by the Romans during Trajan's eastern campaigns, when general Lusius Quietus captured the city without a fight in the winter of 114. Although it was abandoned following the Roman withdrawal from Mesopotamia in 117, the city became once again part of the Roman Empire with the Parthian campaign of Septimius Severus in 197. The city was raised by Severus to the status of a Roman colony, as is attested by the legend found on some of the coins minted there during the reign of Gordian III: ΑΥΡ. ϹΕΠ. ΚΟΛ. ϹΙΝΓΑΡΑ., which is Greek script for the city's Latin name, Aurelia Septimia Colonia Singara. It remained one of the easternmost outposts of the Roman Empire throughout the 3rd century. It was the scene of a celebrated nocturnal conflict during a siege of the city in 344 by Sassanid King Shapur II, the result of which was so unsatisfactory that both sides claimed the victory. Still later, in 359/360, during the reign of Constantius II, it is recorded that it underwent a celebrated siege, and at length was carried by the Persians by storm, though gallantly defended by the townspeople and two legions. The country around it is stated by Ammianus Marcellinus and Theophylact Simocatta to have been extremely arid, which rendered it equally difficult to take or to relieve from a distance.

# Simon Louis, Count of Lippe

Simon Louis, Count of Lippe (14 March 1610 at Brake Castle – 8 August 1636 in Detmold), was Count of Lippe-Detmold from 1627 until his death.

## Life

He was the second eldest son of Count Simon VII of Lippe and his first wife Anna Catherine of Nassau-Wiesbaden.
When his father died in 1627, Simon Louis was still underage. His step-grandfather, Count Christian of Waldeck-Wildungen was selected as his regent and guardian. His paternal uncle, Count Otto of Lippe-Brake was unavailable, due to the strained relationship between Lippe-Detmold and Lippe-Brake. His maternal uncle, John Louis of Nassau-Hadamar, was not asked because he was a Catholic.
As was usual among members of his class, Simon Louis made a Grand Tour. His tour started in 1627 and brought him to Prague, France, England and the Netherlands. After he returned to Detmold in 1631, he applied to Emperor Ferdinand II to be declared of age early.
Influenced by his chancellor Christoph Deichmann, Simon Louis gradually moved away from his father's cautious policy of neutrality and approached Sweden. This brought him into conflict with the imperial troops. The other side did no spare Lippe either. The Swedes demanded food supplies and the imperial troops demanded money. In 1634, Schwalenberg Castle was attacked and looted and in 1636, the same happened to Varenholz Castle.
Simon Louis died of smallpox at the age of 26, on 8 August 1636 in Detmold. He was succeeded as Count of Lippe-Detmold by his eldest son, Simon Philip. Since Simon Philip was still a minor, Count Christian of Waldeck was appointed as regent again.

## Marriage and issue

On 19 June 1631, Simon Louis married Countess Catherine of Waldeck (1612-1649), the daughter of his guardian Count Christian of Waldeck-Wildungen, and also a younger sister of his stepmother, Maria Magdalena (1606-1671). Simon Louis and Catherine had three sons:
* Simon Philip (1632-1650)
* Herman Otto (1633-1646)
* Christian Louis (1636-1646)

# Orgone (band)

Orgone is an American band from Los Angeles, California. The group's sound draws from 1960s- and 1970s-era funk and soul.
While several members of the band played together from the early 1990s, Orgone did not coalesce into a regular band until 1999. Many of their early gigs were as a backing band for hip-hop musicians. After a 2001 debut release, the band added vocalist Fanny Franklin to do a cover of "Funky Nassau" by the Beginning of the End; she remained as a full-time member, although much of their music is instrumental. The group released its second album The Killion Floor in 2007, which featured "Funky Nassau" as well as covers of "Do Your Thing" by Isaac Hayes and "I Get Lifted" by Harry Wayne Casey of K.C. and the Sunshine Band. In 2010 the band opened for Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings on tour. They have also performed at festivals like Bonnaroo and New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival.

# Bert Errol

Bert Errol (born Isaac Whitehouse; 11 August 1883 – 28 November 1949) was a British singer and female impersonator, who was a popular entertainer in both Britain and the United States.

## Life and career

Born in Birmingham, he had a voice ranging from tenor to falsetto. From the age of 18, he worked in music halls and concert parties, and in the all-male Harry Reynolds' Minstrels, before making his first London appearance in 1908, billed as "The Famous Male Soprano and Double-Voiced Vocalist". His act included parodies of musical comedy stars, as well as invented personalities.
He first visited the United States in 1910, when there was publicity over the fact that he had paid $1,000 customs duty on his gowns, many of which he had bought from Henry Paget, the Marquess of Anglesey. He returned to the U.S. several times, receiving good reviews and touring on the Orpheum and Keith vaudeville circuits, and also toured Europe, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Canada. He was said to have a "Tetrazzini voice". He always appeared with his wife, Ray Hartley, whom he presented on stage, "for fear of any suspicion of homosexuality", and who assisted with his rapid changes of clothes.
In later years, he developed the comedy side of his act, and became known in Britain for his performances as a pantomime dame. In 1935, he appeared in the pantomime Cinderella on BBC radio, and was described as "one of the finest female impersonators of modern times, who must have played in nearly every music-hall in the country".
He died in Brighton in 1949, aged 66.
