Teenage Symphonies to God is the second album by the American power pop band Velvet Crush, released in 1994. The title of the album is a reference to Brian Wilson's description of the music he was creating for Smile. Teenage Symphonies to God had sold around 20,000 copies by the end of the 1990s.

The band supported the album by opening for the Jesus and Mary Chain and Mazzy Star on a North American tour.

Production
"Why Not Your Baby" was written by Gene Clark; "Something's Gotta Give" is a cover of the Matthew Sweet song. The album was produced by Mitch Easter and the band. Recorded in Winston-Salem, the album's original songs were written by the three band members; some work was also done at Charlotte's Reflection Studios. Greg Leisz contributed pedal steel to a few songs.

The cover artwork is an homage to Frank Holmes's work on Smile.

Critical reception

The Washington Post thought that the music "is rooted in the ambitious pop-rock of the bands such as Yardbirds and the Byrds ... but most closely resembles the eclectic '60s-rock revivalism of '80s groups like Game Theory." Trouser Press wrote that the "tone is warmer, more intimate ... Lyrics face difficulties with equal parts compassion and confusion—and little emotional success." The Chicago Tribune considered that "unlike other Radio City admirers, the Velvet Crush not only rocks the melodies and draws blood on the ballads, but gets at the underlying sadness that permeated Big Star's tunes."

Rolling Stone opined that "while Velvet Crush have no problems crafting such catchy major-key, tambourine-shaking testaments to heartfelt longing as 'Hold Me Up', the group ultimately suffers from sonic myopia." Stereo Review called the album "top-to-bottom great," writing that "if there's symphonic grandeur here, it's more implied than elaborated on, but it can be divined in touches like the mesmerizing riff and circular, overlapping vocals that float through the unforgettably lovely 'Time Wraps Around You'." The Telegram & Gazette noted that the album "delicately balances the band's songwriting craftsmanship and the inherent throw-away nature of pop music, harkening back to a time when the picture of screaming teens attending a Rolling Stones concert was almost as powerful as the music itself."

AllMusic wrote that "Velvet Crush manage to inject a real enthusiasm and freshness in the standard three-minute pop song." MusicHound Rock: The Essential Album Guide deemed the album "a compelling and important work that deserves attention."

The Dancer of Paris is a lost 1926 American silent drama film produced and distributed by First National Pictures. It was directed by Alfred Santell and starred Dorothy Mackaill. A vintage movie trailer displaying short clips of the film still exists.

Plot
As described in a film magazine review, Florida flapper Consuelo Cox accepts Sir Roy Martel's proposal, but then overhears him say that he does not really intend to marry her and discovers that his love for her is of the basest sort. She breaks her engagement and swears revenge, vowing to ruin him. Consuelo goes to Paris, becomes a professional dancer at the Boule Rouge, and obtains the apartment across from Sir Roy. At a bachelor party she performs at, the nude female statutes suddenly come to life and join in the festivities. Consuelo falls in love with Noel Anson, a friend of her uncles. Sir Roy, dying in his apartment, calls for her. She dances for him in a decidedly abbreviated costume until he passes, and then falls into the arms of Noel.

Cast
Conway Tearle as Noel Anson
Dorothy Mackaill as Consuelo Cox
Robert Cain as Sir Roy Martel

Reception
Film reviews noted that Mackaill's dancer character was barely dressed at times, in one scene wearing just stones and beadwork and in the finale wearing only a loincloth, breastplate, and cloke, and then starting to remove this clothing. Because of this, like many American films of the time, The Dancer of Paris was subject to cuts by city and state film censorship boards. While the National Board of Review did not require any cuts, the film censor boards of Virginia required 6 cuts, Pennsylvania required 16 cuts, New York 5 cuts, Ohio 10 cuts, and Chicago 4 cuts. The reasons for the cuts varied, while Virginia cut scenes with nudity, Pennsylvania cut nude scenes, suggested drug use, cut or flashed suggestive scenes, and cut or reworded some intertitles. One intertitle changed by this state was from, "You are obsessed by an insane desire to intrigue women—to make love to them—to hurt them," to the very different statement, "You are obsessed by an insane desire to marry—when the state of your health positively forbids it."

Gouritsmond is a small coastal town, located within the Hessequa Municipality, of the Garden Route, South Africa. The region in which the town is located is branded as The Explorer's Garden Route.  In 2011, Gouritsmond had 515 inhabitants in 206 households.

Gouritsmond has few facilities of note, apart from a strong coastal tourism profile, characterized by the warm Indian Ocean, the magnificent Gouritz River and a diverse offering of Fynbos. 

The town has of late, become a popular coastal wedding destination, with Casa da Baleia, The Gouritz Valley Wedding Venue and Gourikwa Nature Reserve as top Garden Route venues. 

Gouritsmond has a strong angling profile and is regarded as a fishing mecca within South Africa. 

The Gouritsmond Caravan and Camping Resort is a popular accommodation facility and has accommodated the Whally Rally, a gathering of motorcycle enthusiasts from around the country.

Description
The landscape surrounding the village is a section of the coastal plains of the Cape and is characterised by overgrown sand dunes. Its name is derived from the mouth of the Gouritz River, which flows into the ocean here.

As an official administrative settlement, Gouritsmond is a young settlement, although European immigrants have been farming in the area since 1730. In the process, the present settlement area was a fishing ground and was therefore called The Fisheries. Gouritsmond was granted town status in 1915 and changed its name to Gouritzriviermond between 1915 and 1966 and finally to the current version.

Landmarks
In Gouritsmond, tourism offers form an essential economic basis for the inhabitants. The village is situated on a sea beach and a large sandbank (barre) in the estuary of the river. Typical activities here include sea fishing, surfing and wildlife watching. There are four designated hiking routes of varying lengths.

The Gouritsmond Conservation Trust, a regional conservation group, provides information about the sensitive plant communities of the fynbos biome with the support of the local community. There is information about this at the hiking trails.

Traffic
The town can be reached by road via the 26-kilometre R325 regional road, which branches off the N2 national road between Albertinia and Mossel Bay. A bridge over the Gouritz River creates a rural road connection to Mossel Bay. Originally the village was only accessible via a gravel road with a total of 25 gates along the way. In 1938, a tarmac road was built, which has since contributed to quick accessibility.

Amington is a suburban village, parish and ward, in Staffordshire, England. Formerly a distinct village, it is now part of the Tamworth borough, with no gap between it and the neighbouring wards of Bolehall, Glascote, Glascote Heath and Stonydelph.

History
Amington and Stonydelph formerly formed one "township" and were part of the ancient parish of Tamworth. Amington, now in Staffordshire, was previously part of the county of Warwickshire; the county boundary between Staffordshire and Warwickshire formerly running along Tamworth high street. The village became part of Tamworth Rural District in 1932, thus becoming part of the administrative county of Staffordshire.  The village became part of Tamworth Borough in 1965.

The village's Parish Church, St. Editha's, is a chapel-of-ease, part of Tamworth Parish. However, as formerly in Warwickshire, Amington church falls under the Diocese of Birmingham, whereas its mother church in Tamworth, also dedicated to St. Editha, is part of the Diocese of Lichfield.

Amington is the site of Amington Hall. On the eve of the English Civil War there was some opposition to the paying of poor rate levies from the local gentry, in particular Cecil Warburton, the occupant of the Hall. The justices at the quarter sessions for Easter, 1642 heard that Cecil Warburton of Hall End, Amington, “did lock up the overseer of the poor (George Payne)…and drew his sword upon him there in a very outrageous manner”.

Transport
Amington is near the Coventry Canal, the River Anker, and also the Trent Valley Line of the West Coast Main Line, all of which pass east/west just to the north of the village.

Amenities
In the village there are two convenience stores, Tesco Express and Premier. There is also a post office and a fish and chip shop.

Amington has four pubs: The Gate Inn, The Old Liberal, The Amington Inn and The Winning Post.

In the 1990s two developers built a 1000-home estate in the village which is now known as Amington Fields. In 2006, Antler Homes built a 17-house estate named Ashby Grange.

In 2016 work began on the development of over 1100 new homes on the site of the former Tamworth Municipal Golf Course.

Landau Forte Academy, Amington, one of the high schools in Tamworth, is situated in Amington.  The school reached national headlines in 2016 when one of the pupils was recorded being assaulted.

Local Culture
Amington Band are a traditional British brass band based in their own band room. They have been associated with the village since the 1910s

Williams Island Dam is located on the James River in the independent city of Richmond, Virginia. Just below the dam,  of rapids mark the descent of the river downstream through the geological Fall Line region to the navigable tidal portion below Richmond, which extends southeast to Hampton Roads.

Williams Island Dam was built in 1905 as part of a drinking water project of the City of Richmond which made use of a portion of the former James River and Kanawha Canal along the north shore of the river west of Richmond. A gravity dam, its height is . Its normal storage capacity is estimated to be .  It was connected with an early waterworks building which is located on Pumphouse Drive just west of the city's Boulevard Bridge.

Williams Island Dam is wholly located within the city's James River Park System. Williams Island, which separates the two sections of the dam, is a  wildlife preserve  and has the nest of a bald eagle. According to the James River Park website, Richmond is the only capital city in the lower 48 states to have an eagle nesting inside the corporate limits.

Wild Honey is a 1922 American silent romantic adventure film directed by Wesley Ruggles. Produced and distributed by the Universal Film Manufacturing Company, the film is based on a book of the same title by Cynthia Stockley and stars Priscilla Dean, and features Noah Beery, Sr. and Wallace Beery in supporting roles. It is notable for the first use of a traveling matte special effect.

It is not known whether the film currently survives.

Plot
Despite her father's debt to him, Lady Vivienne refuses to marry the wealthy but villainous Henry Porthen. Porthen devises a plot to lure Vivienne to his country home using her weak-willed friend, Freddy. In the course of events, Vivienne faints, Porthen is killed by his secretary Joan, and Freddy runs away for fear that he will be blamed.

Three years later, Vivienne travels to Transvaal to investigate some problem property she owns. She is rescued from bandits by homesteader Kerry Burgess and the two fall in love. More intrigue brought about by Vivienne's rejection of another suitor, Wolf Montague, leads to the sabotage of a dam and a destructive flood. Vivienne tries to warn the settlers in the flood's path and is herself swept up in it. Burgess rescues her again and they are united.

Wallace Beery – Buck Roper

Harry DeRoy – Koos

Production

Cynthia Stockley's novel Wild Honey was purchased by Universal in 1921 with Priscilla Dean already in mind. Brothers Wallace and Noah Beery appeared for the first time in the same feature film.

This was the first film in which a traveling matte process (called the "Williams process" after its inventor) was used. The action of the players was filmed against a black screen, and a scene in miniature of a bursting dam and consequent flood was filmed separately, then the two were combined by the process.

Release
Wild Honey opened in New York at the Central Theatre on February 27, 1922.

Reviews were mostly negative, but many critics singled out the flood scene as impressive and some regarded it as worth the price of admission. The Variety review expressed the opinion that the movie was cheaply made and that, except for the flood scene, the production suffered as a result. Reviewing the film for Life, Robert E. Sherwood called it "a pitifully weak piece of work". The capsule review in Photoplay labeled it "as dull an evening's entertainment as you can find anywhere".

The Barranco Grande Windmill or Grand Canyon Mill () is located in Barranco Grande, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, on the island of Tenerife, Spain. It is similar to the Cuevas Blancas Windmill, and is one of three remaining windmills in the region, the other being in El Rosario, Tenerife.

The mill was conical, with masonry walls, and is around  high. It was mostly demolished by a mechanical shovel on 27 January 1973. It was listed as Bien de Interés Cultural on 18 December 2007.

The remains were acquired by the Santa Cruz town hall in 2007, who subsequently contracted its restoration to Volconsa at a cost of €425,000. The mill was not completely reconstructed, but the blades and gears were recreated in 2010, and former parts of the windmill are now arranged around the remains.
