The Lowney Chocolate Factory is a historic industrial complex at 150 Oakland Street in Mansfield, Massachusetts.  Developed beginning in 1903, the complex was used until 2010 by a variety of primarily corporate owners for the manufacture and processing of chocolate products, most recently Archer Daniels Midland.  The complex, vacant in 2016, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016 as an important local employer, and a good local example of Late Victorian industrial architecture.

Description and history
The former Lowney Chocolate Company plant stands on the north side of Mansfield Center, between Oakland Street and the Providence/Stoughton Line railroad tracks.  The complex contains seven buildings on , ranging in construction date from 1903 to 1995.  The centerpiece of the complex is Building 1, a five-story brick building with centrally placed seven-story tower.  Windows are set in segmented-arch openings separated by brick piers, with granite sills, and some openings now filled in with panels.  The tower, three bays wide and one deep, has round-arch windows at the top level, and elaborate brick corbelling below the eave of the flared hip roof.

The Walter M. Lowney Company was a chocolate and candy business founded in Boston in the early 1880s by Walter M. Lowney, a native of Bangor, Maine.  Lowney's business was a great success, and experienced rapid growth over the next fifteen years, repeatedly expanding its presence in Boston's Commercial Street area.  The availability of ready railroad access to this property in Mansfield prompted its selection for a major expansion, and the Lowney Chocolate Company was formed as a subsidiary to manage all of the chocolate production for both the Walter M. Lowney Company and wholesale customers.  Lowney himself moved to Mansfield, where he was a prominent citizen until his death 1921.  The company went through a series of corporate owners, who continued to use and develop the facility.  It was closed in 2010 by Archer Daniels Midland.

Alvin Seale (July 8, 1871 – July 28, 1958) was a naturalist known for his aquarium design and as an ichthyologist.

Early life

Alvin Seale was born on July 8, 1871, in Fairmount, Indiana, to a family of Quakers. In 1892, he attended Stanford University, and was tutored by David Starr Jordan.

Education

In 1896, the year that Seale would have graduated from Stanford in zoology, he was picked by Professor Jordan, along with fellow student Norman B. Scofield, to go to Point Barrow in Alaska. His mission was to look for salmon in the Mackenzie River.

Travels

Before returning to Stanford Seale collected sea birds along the Alaskan coast on behalf of the British Museum. He also went with his roommate to the Klondike to join the gold rush there. According to Seale, his companion “struck it rich.” Seale, however, was too busy exploring the native wildlife to waste his time searching for gold. In his unpublished diary Seale writes that he spent “an exciting year."

Polynesian career and adventure

In 1899 Seale returned to Stanford, only to leave again to take the job of field naturalist at the Bishop Museum in Honolulu, Hawaii. Within two years he was promoted to Curator of Fishes there. He held this position until 1904, when he returned to Stanford once again.  While still curator Seale made the first zoological survey of Guam in 1900. He returned to Hawaii via Manila, Hong Kong, China, and Japan. From the time of his return until 1903 Seale collected specimens from all over Polynesia.

He went exploring in the Society Islands, the Tuamotu Archipelago, and the Marquesas, Gambier, Austral, Cook, and Samoan islands. He also visited New Zealand, Australia, the New Hebrides and the Solomon Islands.

In May, 1905 he finally received his degree from Stanford, 13 years after beginning his studies. By this time he was already recognized as a world authority on the fishes of Polynesia, as well as an expert ichthyologist. He knew more about Polynesia and its fish and fisheries than anyone else in the United States, publishing several important papers on the subject.

Books

 Fishes of the South Pacific (1911)
 Quest for the Golden Cloak and Other Experiences of a Field Naturalist (1946)

Letter to John Muir

On August 23, 1904 Seale wrote a letter to the famed naturalist John Muir, in Martinez, California. The letter thanks Muir for sending to Seale Muir's book “The Mountains of California.” Seale also wonders if Muir was happy with the “small panel of Koa wood” that he left for Muir in his steamer cabin. He also hopes that Muir and Seale will be able to “call for a few hours some day within a week or two.” He explains that he would like to speak to him about forestry.

Frida High School () is a private secondary school located in Vänersborg, Sweden. It was started in 2006 and is part of the greater concern Frida Utbildning AB, which also operates three elementary schools in Trestad. Frida High has approximately 190 students, which makes it a fairly small school by both European and Swedish means. The school is located in facilities historically accommodated by the army, but along with many others nationally, the regiment was closed during the early 20th century.

The school offers two programs of education: the Social Scientific, and the Natural Scientific. Both programs are theoretical and offer the students a vast selection of possible colleges and universities for future studies. Frida High is famous for its policy of student self-responsibility. This is demonstrated by much scheduled individual study time, which allows the students to finish assignments they may have, or to book meetings with teachers to discuss their progress, etc. The students are also supplied with a MacBook, which is a tool of study as opposed to books and leaflets. The majority of all school works are handed in digitally, and written-form hand-ins are rare.

The Superior Court of California, County of Butte, also known as the Butte County Superior Court, is the branch of the California superior court with jurisdiction over Butte County.

History
Butte County was one of the original counties formed in 1850 when California became a state.

The main Butte County Courthouse was built in 1856 at 1859 Bird Street in Oroville; it was remodeled in 1919 and 1951 and is occupied by the Butte County Department of Education. Bricks from the original courthouse were used to construct a marker in Bicentennial Park. Court operations moved to the new County Center at 25 Court Street in 1979, and then to the new County Courthouse in 1996.

Satellite locations were added in 1961 (Paradise) and 1966 (Chico) in new one- and two-room courthouses, respectively. Court operations were consolidated from Paradise to Chico in 2009. Even though most County residents lived outside Oroville, the Butte County Courthouse was forced to handle all criminal and family law cases, and juries were selected in Oroville even if the trial would proceed in Chico.

The 1966 Chico Courthouse at 655 Oleander Avenue was overcrowded and portions were not accessible as required by the Americans with Disabilities Act, so land for a new North Butte County Courthouse was acquired in 2010–11 and the new  building was built, with court operations commencing at the new building on March 23, 2015. The total cost of the project was US$65 million. Butte County made plans to purchase the 655 Oleander property in 2018 from the Superior Courts of California, a state agency.

Venues

Butte County Superior Court has two venues, divided geographically. The North Butte County Courthouse is in Chico and serves the majority of the county's population, while the main courthouse is in the county seat of Oroville.

The new North County Courthouse in Chico, completed in 2015, consolidated operations from a small satellite courthouse in Paradise and an older courthouse in Chico. Court proceedings in Paradise had stopped in October 2009, and the last day of counter service in Paradise was September 30, 2011.

The Iriry lagoon, also known as Doce Lagoon, Iodada Lagoon, or Coca-Cola Lagoon, is a body of water located in Rio das Ostras, between the Jardim Bela Vista and Mar y Lago neighborhoods, as well as parts of Terra Firme. The lagoon and the environmental protection area that surrounds it have several trails, kiosks, beaches, leisure areas, and a belvedere, and is one of the most famous tourist attractions in the city. The waterfront located in Jardim Bela Vista concentrates most of the lagoon's recreational facilities.

Origin of the name 
Iriry comes from the Tupi language and means lagoon of shells or mollusks. The name is a combination of ig (water, lagoon or river) + reri or riri (shell or mollusk).

Characteristics 

The water is fresh and acidic (pH 5.3), has a high temperature (26°C), is rich in organic compounds and oxygen, and has a good bathing history. 

The reddish-brown appearance of the waters is a consequence of the high concentration of salts such as iodine, in addition to the oxides, fulvic and humic acids, dissolved in the lagoon that are the results of the incomplete decomposition of organic material such as leaves and twigs. The accumulation of these substances does not allow light to penetrate the water, which causes its dark appearance. These substances, although rarely used by the lagoon's biota, are not toxic or considered a source of pollution.

The lagoon bottom consists of sand and soil, plus patches of silt and layers of decomposing material. Water renewal is slow and runoff is accomplished mainly through absorption and evaporation, while water replenishment is mostly from the groundwater that feeds the lagoon, followed by rainwater. Adjacent strips around the lagoon that are not deep enough to accumulate water at all times are always partially wet due to the proximity to the ground water table and flood during heavy rains. In the past, the lagoon used to join the sea, a fact that no longer occurs. It is common for the sand bar that separates the lagoon from the beach to break during rainy seasons, partially emptying the lagoon and renewing the water. The phenomenon is natural and beneficial. The sand barrier is rebuilt by wave action and the lagoon returns to its normal water level within a few weeks.

Located in the drainage basin of Rio das Ostras, with a perimeter of 2.65 km, a length and width of 0.63 and 0.71 km and an average depth of 1.5m, the lagoon is positioned in the middle of the depression into which the rainwater and groundwater flow, forming the reflecting pool of the Iriry lagoon. The surrounding area is apparently flat, with few undulations on the surface, standing out only the hillock on the coastal part. The relief of the lagoon area was shaped by the movements and oscillations of the sea level over the last 10,000 years, together with ocean currents, and more recently, by the action of winds.

Els Setze Jutges (, meaning "The Sixteen Judges") was a group of singers in the Catalan language founded in 1961 by Miquel Porter i Moix, Remei Margarit, and Josep Maria Espinàs. The name comes from a well known tongue-twister in the Catalan language:  ("Sixteen judges of a court eat liver off a hangman").

The mission of the group was to promote the Nova Cançó movement and to normalize the use of Catalan in the world of modern music. They started out singing their own songs and Catalan versions of songs by French singers, especially Georges Brassens. From the original three members, the circle grew to sixteen: Delfí Abella, Francesc Pi de la Serra, Enric Barbat, Xavier Elies, Guillermina Motta, Maria del Carme Girau, Martí Llauradó, Maria Amèlia Pedrerol, Joan Ramon Bonet, Joan Manuel Serrat, Maria del Mar Bonet, Lluís Llach, and Rafael Subirachs.

Els Setze Jutges began to dissolve at the end of the dictatorship and with the progressive professionalization of some of the group's members. With the appearance of professional Catalan-language singers, many of the group's earlier members, such as Miquel Porter i Moix and Josep Maria Espinàs, decided to retire from music. By the time the group ceased to exist in 1968, several of its members - most notably Serrat, but also Llach, Maria del Mar Bonet, Pi de la Serra, Barbat, Motta and Subirachs - had begun to enjoy success as individual musicians.

On April 13, 2007, the group of singers received the Medal of Honor of the Parliament of Catalonia, in recognition of their work in favor of Catalan culture and language during the dictatorship. However, Maria del Mar Bonet used the occasion to criticize the lack of promotion of Catalan-language songs in the media during the three decades since the Spanish transition to democracy, and Guillermina Motta declined to attend the ceremony, objecting that the distinction was awarded too late, when two of the sixteen had already died: Miquel Porter in 2004 and Delfí Abella in February 2007.
