Wherever You Are is an EP by singer-songwriter David Mead, released on Eleven Thirty Records in 2005. "David Mead managed to survive record company legalese and emerge to release the finest tracks from his 2002 recording sessions with Stephen Hague (New Order, Blur, Pet Shop Boys)," John D. Luerssen wrote in a review for AllMusic. "EPs are rarely this accomplished or appealing."
"I recorded the full version with the band in late 2002," Mead told Nashville Rage in 2005. "Right when I turned it in to the record company [RCA, to which he was signed at the time], they merged with another company" — BMG combined RCA Records and J Records to form the RCA Music Group in 2003 — "so some artists were dropped. They were actually really very gracious, and gave us most of the rights to the record back. But the thing was, by the time all that legal mumbo jumbo had gone down, I was on to something different and my head was in a much different space. I had started this other record with David Henry because I didn't really know whether or not I was going to get Wherever You Are back, and [Indiana] seemed like a more timely thing to put out."

# Plataea (mythology)

In Greek mythology, Plataea (/pləˈtiːə/; Ancient Greek: Πλάταια) was a (naiad) daughter of the river-god or king of Plataea, Asopus. She is possibly the same with another daughter of Asopus called Oeroe (Ὠερόη), the naiad of a stream in Plataea that also bears her name.

## Family

Plataea's mother was probably the naiad, Metope, daughter of another river-god Ladon. As one of Asopus’ daughters, she was sister to Harpina, Cleone, Corcyra, Nemea, Salamis, Tanagra, Thespia, Thebe and Aegina.
Together with her last two sisters, they were abducted by Zeus with only Aegina mentioned to bore Aeacus to the said god.

## Mythology

Plataea had a sanctuary at Plataeae, which according to some derived its name from her, but according to others from the πλάτη τῶν κωπῶν (platē tōn kōpōn).
# Philosophical Scottish Rite

The Philosophical Scottish Rite (French: Le Rite Ecossais Philosophique) is a Masonic rite that was established in Paris in 1776 by the hermetist Alexandre Boileau, who was a disciple of Antoine-Joseph Pernéty. This rite is known for its unique structure and progression through various degrees.

## History

The Philosophical Scottish Rite was founded in Paris, France, in 1776. It was established by Alexandre Boileau, a pupil of Antoine-Joseph Pernéty, an influential figure in the realm of esoteric and hermetic knowledge. The rite was associated with the lodges "Le Contrat Social" and "Saint Lazare."

### Degree system

The rite comprises 12 distinct grades or degrees, each with its own symbolism and teachings:
* 1st to 3rd Degree: Chevalier de l'Aigle Noir or Rose + Croix d'Hérédom de la Tour (Black Eagle Knight or Rose + Heredom Tower Cross) - divided into 3 parts.
* 4th Degree: Chevalier du Phénix (Knight of the Phoenix).
* 5th Degree: Chevalier du Soleil (Knight of the Sun).
* 6th Degree: Chevalier de l'Iris (Knight of the Iris).
* 7th Degree: Vrai Maçon (True Mason).
* 8th Degree: Chevalier des Argonautes (Knight of the Argonauts).
* 9th Degree: Chevalier de la Toison d'Or (Knight of the Golden Fleece).
* 10th Degree: Grand Inspecteur Parfait Initié (Grand Perfect Initiated Inspector).
* 11th Degree: Grand Inspecteur Parfait Initié (Grand Perfect Initiated Inspector).
* 12th Degree: Sublime Maître de l'Anneau Lumineux (Sublime Master of the Luminous Ring). The 12th grade was derived from the Rite des Négociates, the academy of the Sublime Masters of the Luminous Ring, which was absorbed by the Philosophical Scottish Rite in 1784 and by the Atelier de Douai: La Parfaite Union. Several members held the highest degrees of Misraïm. Notable members included Jean-Baptiste Méallet, Etienne-François Bazot and Jean-Marie Ragon, who reached the 90th degree.
In 1817, the Philosophical Scottish Rite transformed into "The Nicotiniates Rite" and adopted a structure consisting of 4 grades:

### The Nicotiniates Rite

* 1st Degree: Ecouteur or Akousmatikos (Listener or Akousmatikos).
* 2nd Degree: Pyrophores (Firebearers).
* 3rd Degree: Adeptes (Adepts).
* 4th Degree: Elus (Chosen Ones).
Despite these changes, a parallel Masonic structure of High Degrees continued to exist.

## Discrepancies and Clarifications

One historical account has raised questions regarding the accuracy of the founding and naming of the rite. It was argued that the transformation of "Le Contrat Social" into an "Ecossaise lodge" was not conducted by Alexandre Boileau but by Jean Antoine Deleutre, a member of the Lodge St Jean d’Ecosse de la Vertu Persécutée in Avignon. The initiation of the lodge into an Ecossaise body may have been influenced by a disciple of Pernety, Dr. Bouge, who served as the Worshipful Master. Furthermore, it has noted that the rite was more closely related to the AASR (Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite) and comprised 13 degrees.

The confluence is at an elevation of 1,070 ft (330 m).
The source area for the valley stream lies about one mile northwest of the community of Christian Center and on the south edge of the Springfield Plateau. The stream flows northwest, crossing under U.S. Route 65 midway between Selmore and Ozark. The stream continues and passes under and parallels Missouri Route F reaching its confluence with Finley Creek about one mile northeast of Riverdale.
Elk Valley was named for the fact the valley was a hunting ground of elk by pioneers. The elk were hunted out in the 1880s.
Lead and zinc mines produced ore up until the 1920s. One mine in Ozark was reported to have produces as much as 180 tons of lead ore in or around 1904. The mines are still in the valley; some have shafts of 100 feet or more. There are at least seven mines in the Elk Valley area.
